A Bollywood Classic Comedy

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2012)

3 Idiots is an Indian comedy directed by Rajkumar Hirani, with a screenplay by Abhijat Joshi, and produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra. It features stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Omi Vaidya, Parikshit Sahni and Boman Irani.Chetan Bhagat's best-selling novel 5 Point Someone makes the leap to the big screen in this comedy about three engineering students whose friendship stands the test of time.
As Farhan and Raju search the valleys for their missing friend Rancho , their memories drift back to the days when they we're all college roommates, and Rancho incurred the wrath of their headstrong dean Viru Sahastrabudhhe by daring to propose radical theories that directly contradicted his teacher's lessons. Later, Rancho begins dating Virus' daughter Pia, and gradually begins to gain the dean's respect. Flashing back to the present day, Farhan and Raju uncover some previously unknown facts about their old friend that leads them to question everything they ever thought they knew about him.
A fabulous achievement across the board. A typical Bollywood confection but also social commentary on a dysfunctional engineering school system that pressures huge numbers of students into suicide.Also,the movie is very much a character-driven piece, which not only makes the laughs bigger but also earns a deeper involvement as the viewer deeply cares for the characters involved.Overall,this is a classic comedy.
