This year 2009 has been a year to forget for hindi film industry and its affiliates as not only did strike crippled it financially it also got few punches in the groin with hollywood releases like 2012 and avatar trouncing their hindi opponents at the box office.
And even if we were to look at the films content wise it has been a mediocre year with no film covering all its bases as while some were technically good but offered no entertainment while other films were brain dead yet entertaining but this is about to change as we know have in the form of 3 idiots that is not only commercially entertaining but also has its strong points on the technical fronts.
The film has excellent script, good screenplay, good direction supported well by good acting but the high point of the film is the attention to detail of life in engineering college and strong music which adds to mood and supports the film well so my suggestion is that go watch this film as this film not only entertains but also gives important messages to students and parents regarding education system so go watch it
story
the film is a story of three students rancho(aamir), raju(sharman) and farhan(madhavan) who make it to the top enginnering college imperial college of engineering for three different reasons as while rancho comes here as he has passion for enginnerin, raju as he needs to end his family poverty and farhan simply because of parental pressue and in the mix there also is a nerdy jealous south indian student chatur(omi) who wants to come first at any cost , hitler like cuckoo carrying professor viru sahrasbuddhe(boman irani) who believes life is a race and does not like to lose at anything and waste time and his daughter (kareena kapoor) who is medical student who ultimately falls in love with rancho but the shocking part is the twist which comes before the interval so in the first half the film moves on smoothly with the college life with usual ragging scenes, rancho questioning of the system and peer competition while the second half turns into a road film with two friends farhan and raju going in search of rancho who disappears suddenly after graduating.the film is loosely based on chetan bhagats novel five point someone with many scenes in the book like ragging scene, rajus family background, rooftop scene , paper robbery act and break in into professorsd house making into the fim but the strong part about the film are the message it gives out which you should find out by watching the film
