I am a follower fo your blog. The day i read your review i went for the movie. Its a good movie but not excellent. Though some scenes did remind me of my college days, like the tohfa kabbol ho; we had something similar called initial signature and final signature and they shall match within ragging period(6 months) for a ragging free 1st year.
@soumya
I myself have studied in a premier college and i felt that there were similar character in our college. Most professors were the one’s who left the corporate life to lead simpler one’s , but were quite disssatisfied seeing their students quicky getting past them, and beleive me some of them were real weird.
I will tell you one incident and then you yourself can see the point. One Mr Sharma an assistant professor in Electrical dpartment asked our group this question..If there is hanuman ji holding the induction motor at one end and then krishn ji on the other end..in what direction shall the motor run…

So soumya caricatures do exist.
@and bong i donot agree with your comments about the romantic scenes with kareena. She was fabulors and the zooby doo song did capture me in theatre.
Chatur part was a little over the top but then we had our own bengali mastero Partha in college who is till revered for his sense of academics.

All an all it was a good movie but not great, as for great it need to hold my attention for more than once which it never did. May be it had too much PJ.

And Bong i will recomment you one movie which i went through a few days back.
its called “clerks”. I liked it and probably you will like it too.
I would love to read a review from you on this

@ Anonymous just above….. Yes, they didnt know his name was Phunsuk, but there is also a register in the college which has the address of all students, and top that, ViruS knew about Rancho’s ‘supposed’ Dad’s monthly income!!! Even in the movie, do Raju/Farhan find Phunsuk without consulting the real Rancho…. there you go to ….. thats how idiotic it is!

well i finally managed to catch the movie and my reaction was “ah! well, its overrated”. i loved chatur’s character as it reminded me of a friend of mine. but think about it- it was just because rancho was that much super duper intelligent that he could survive all that. and that vacuum cleaner scene was horrendous.

but then again i will agree with you GB on that following your heart front. I guess we all are stuck up with some profession that we never wanted for ourselves.

Great Bong, I am a hardcore Aamir Khan fan, but I haven’t really enjoyed his movies after TZP. 3 idiots was quite an OK-ish movie, per my tastes and judgments and considering all the hoopla surrounding it, and especially after reading your raving about it, I found it quite below expectations. I completely agree with many of the comments here : its over glorification of the good and hyper demonization of the supposed evilness. Also some of the contrived funny scenes were a bit drag and quite frankly ended up being too labored. I agree with some freshness and a chuckles along the way, and am also fine with the jokes being repeated and stuff, but I cannot digest crap like Raju’s deal breaker interview where he admits of committing suicide and nonchalantly refuses to change his new found “attitude” for the sake of his employers or the mammoth pregnancy climax culminating in the glorious display of engineering feat by the main man – Rancho himself, and then the dramatic realization of truth by Prof Virus. I would have enjoyed the movie more if it were a little shorter and had less non-sense like this. Also the story becomes quite predictable with multiple suicides and unpronounceable names like Ranchoddas and Phunsukh Wangdu. I do not mean to highlight negatives purposely, but this is precisely the reason why I am disappointed. I had wanted something really tighter and a little less cheesier from an Aamir Khan movie. College setting is a bit realistic but finding a student like Rancho is totally going overboard. Also which engg college has professors speak in Hindi? This movie was funny and worth a one time watch. Not something that I would like to watch over and over again.

I take the liberty to completely disagree with u on this one .. every “joke” in the movie was borrowed.. there is not a tinge of originality in any one of them ..right from the use of pencils in space.. to shoving the answer scripts into a pile( “The Axe” fame) … even the crass scenes at the end were borrowed lavishly from one recent ad where there is an online child delivery … things are predictable at every juncture .. this is no comparison to dil chahta hain which had genuine humour .. the argument that the protagonists are middle class and hence one can better relate is a very weak one.. one s economic situation is not the major determinant of how one identifies with characters in a cinema..
