3 Idiots - A genius
An Inspirational movie:
Hi friends in this article let us discuss about one of the best Hindi films which I have ever seen, which broke almost every box office record in the history of Hindi films. I believe you might have guessed about the film which we are discussing and it is none other than the Amir Khan Starrer inspirational movie called "3 Idiots". We can learn a lot form this movie and I personally believe this is a great movie or the school children, because they have a clear idea of choosing their carrier on their own wish. More importantly, this film is very useful for the parents because they might change after seeing this film and can leave the decision to their child, to chose his/her carrier, rather than compelling them to take a field, which they are not interested in.
Chetan Baghat vs Rajkumar Hirani
This movie is believed to be based on the Chetan Baghat's novel "Five Point Someone" and this has created a lot of controversies after the release of the film. So you can understand this problem based on the statements give by both of them.
When the film was about to release, Rajkumar Hirani stated
" Chetan gave me this book to read and I wanted to make a film on it. But I knew right from the start that I could not make a film completely on the book, as it was very anecdotal and a film needs a plot. So I had decided to rewrite it in a screenplay format. You'll see that the film is very different from the book. After I wrote the script, I called Chetan and narrated it to him. I told him that if he did not like the script, I would stop the project. But he was okay with it"
But after the stupendous success of the film, as it grossed 100 crores in just 4 days, Chetan Baghat gave a statement and according to the statement,
" Initially I did sit down with Raju and Abhijat (Abhijat Joshi has done the screenplay in this movie) while they were deciding to make a film based on '5 Point Someone'. I even went to IIT with Abhijat a couple of times. But it was just not possible for me to be involved at every stage of the screenplay writing process since I was in Hong Kong at that time, working full time and busy writing other books. Moreover, Abhijat is based in USA, Raju was in the US for quite a while working on the screenplay but it was not practical for me to do that [...] The film retains the soul of the book. 3 Idiots is different from the book but at the same time it does borrow many things from the book. The core theme and message of the film is coming from the book itself. And that's why the makers have officially credited the film as 'Based on a novel by Chetan Bhagat"
So we just forget all these controversies, because we want to enjoy the film, rather than analyzing the inside story, and we move further about the story of the film in this article.
Movie Review:
The film starts when R. Madhavan(Farhan Qureshi) takes a flight and he plays a drama to stop the flight, because he receive s all from "Silencer", Chatur Ramalingam, as he knows about the whereabouts of Amir Khan(Rancchoddas "Rancho" Shyamaldas Chanchad). Then he picks his friend Raju Rastogi on the way and enters his college after ten years to meet Silence. But there Farhan and Raju was shocked to know that Rancho was not there.
Then Silencer, who is always against the three friends Rancho, Raju and Farhan during his college days, says that he came to that place to keep his promise (Challenge), that he made with Rancho 10 years ago. Then all the three travels to Shimla, with a hope that Rancho would be there, as Silencer got some information regarding Rancho. On their way to Shimla, Farhan explains the beautiful college life that he had with Rancho and Raju, and we can also understand that Rancho was very practical in his approach rather than being a book worm, like Silencer.
When they reached Shimla, they were taken by surprise to know that Amir Khan was not actual Rancho, and he just came to college in the name of Rancho to get a degree for his master's son. Later another clue changes their destination to Ladakh, because they get news that Amir Khan was there in Ladakh and he was serving as a School teacher.
Again in the flashback, the story movies very interestingly and this time it also explains the love story between Amir and Karrena. The most important character in this film is Viru Sahastrabudhhe, also called as VIRUS, and this character was played by Boman Irani. He is the director of the fictitious college called as Imperial College of Engineering (ICE). He is very strict and Kareena is his daughter. The film moves very fast wit lot of comedy, romance and great feeling, and at last Farhan decides to choose to become a wildlife photographer and Raju was also placed in a company.
The film also expresses the feeling of Virus when Amir helped to operate his elder daughter, who was pregnant and Virus also presents Rancho a prestigious pen. Coming out of the flash back, Raju and Frahan also managed to take Kareena to Ladakh, to meet Amir. When they reached the school in Ladakh all was surprised to see that the students there were implementing the basic engineering techniques in day to day life. This also made them to realize, that this would have been possible only with the help of Amir and they are pretty confident that Amir would be there. Then the film ends when all the friends join and enjoy the moment. Silencer was also there at the scene and he never disappoints to entertain us.
To be frank I don’t know Hindi, but I can understand the story very well and the core concept of the movie is the main reason for it success. This film receive positive reviews from almost various sources and the film has earned around 240 crores(against its budget of 45 crores) in just 19 days from its release. I believe most of you would have seen the movie, and please watch this movie, if you haven’t seen this movie yet.
