I saw 3 idiots and realised that it is another dejavu!!! Every indian will identify him or her for all those who studied in India for last 50 years.It is not so easy to accept but still i believe that Aamir khan rushes to people befoer they could experience the thirll and fun of it. The HIRANI effect is different but true it is a global collage of chetan bhagat hirani and aamir team.
i have added review from KOlkkata which is more relevent.
The film reminded me of another film by Kamal Hassan i.e. jarasi Jindagi!
HERE IS THE REVIEW OF THE FILM
Rancho (Aamir Khan), Farhan (R Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi) are the 3 idiots - classmates in a top engineering college and closest pals. Rancho is a gadget freak, who opens up refrigerators, car batteries, computers - everything that can be called a machine. He is a rare beast in a cutthroat competitive environment who goes around telling people that education is to open up people’s minds, not to them degree-holding automatons. He even ends up making an ingenious generator, which is named Virus, after Viru Sahasrabuddhe, the college’s Hitler-like principal (Boman Irani).
Again and again he shows his friends that they will excel in what they like doing best, and what they do from the heart, not what they do because of pressures to compete and attain worldly success. Very eminently Munnabhai. But even as we begin to see Munnabhai superimposed on Rancho, there is a twist in the tale. Rancho turns out to be someone else, and the two other idiots embark on a quest for this third one- to know who he really was, and to prove to themselves that their life together had taught them to be different men. (This review is very neatly put up on web)
I have realised that three idiots in the current context are TEACHER PARENT AND STUDENT ALL STRIVING FOR SOMETHING WHICH HAS NO ROOT AT SOIL BUT IN MINDS!
One has to accept modestly the starck reality of life!
And before i forget R Madhavan is the thriteenth in the list of his college rather our college.
