3 Idiots ***1/2


Amir Khan has done this before ,but this time in the direction of Rajkumar Hirani I expected some thing different but I feel over the time he is been trusted with too much of intelligence ,he just plays to prove the character of Brand the intelligent ,witty,take easy ,winner Amir Khan.At some point there should be differentiton ,I felt enough of the brand Amir Khan .”Five point some one” would be the most read book in India and the film marketed that way at the beginning but plays a very different plot much more complicated in some places but ends with light mood which is actually enjoyable.

Three idiots is about the subjective take on educational system and pressure exerted on the students at the prime engineering colleges and by the parents .Its about the following and living your dreams.Movie knows what to take from the novel 5 Point some one ;it draws only 5 percent from the book and follows a very comical plot with Amir Khan as the show stealer from the beginning.Its once more for Booman Irani as Viru aka Virus ,the director of Imperial college of Engineering whose principles gets beaten up by the Rancho ( Amir Khan) .One day Amir Khan disappears and the other two idiots goes in search for him.

Amir khan at the age of 44 can play the 20 year old college kid .it is overwhelming,humourous but at one point the guy has to give up his QSQT,DCH,Rang De basanti roles.Its a dominant Amir khan we see in this movie where he makes others to underplay through his role.Seasonal Madhavan and Sharman make the other two idiots but they underplay most of the time as their characters are dependent on Amir Khan.Still Sharman and Maddy make their own presence in many scenes.Especially the scenes when they perform the Moothra Visharchan at the gates of Virus and in the scene when Sharman explains the working of Induction motor ,you have to erupt in laughter .Madhavan is one of the finest actors and he just proves he is a directors actor more than any thing.There are repetitive comedies kind of Sardar comedies but still it looks fresh and very funny.Kareena was fabulous in this movie and her character is short and well crafted .Fantastic performance .

Rajkumar Hirani is a master story teller and he knows where to place the intense scenes which would sell his product.He is one of the greatest finds of Indian cinema ,and he just lets his editing and screen play travel intelligently with timely humour and substance which would make this movie a definite success.But if you ask me the first half of the movie was very dramatic ,dominance of Amir Khan character should have been taken a second look .Rajkumar Hirani once again puts forth his message in a very light and intelligent blended with characterisation and humour.

Movie will be a super hit but if you compare with Munna Bhai it lacks its magic because the Brand Munna Bhai is much powerful than Rancho as the character is a self made not like Amir Khan who wanted to underpin his excellence.But still the movie has one of finest comic scenes which will make you to enjoy .Go for it for sure.
