Awesome movie

Rating: 10/10 (28 September 2018)

In Rajkumar Hirani's inspirational comedy film, 3 Idiots, Rancho (Aamir Khan), is a college student who does not hesitate at all to achieve success. He assists his two friends, Farhan and Raju, by feeding inspirational advice to alter their way of thinking. The film begins when the two friends get together because Chatur "Silencer" Ramalingam (Omi Vaidya) calls Farhan and claims that he has found out where Rancho is. All three of them get together and travel to Shimla to find Rancho, who has disappeared since graduation. While on the car to Shimla, a flashback story is painted which shows Farhan and Raju starting their college year in the Imperial College of Engineering (ICE) in Delhi. Rancho has a conviction that hands on learning is the best and goes to class to learn, rather than achieve good grades. Farhan and Raju have their own personal dilemmas which is why they end up at ICE. The institution's director, Dr. Viru Sahastrabuddhe (Boman Irani) is also a professor known as "Virus" in the ICE community. Virus's traditional philosophies on education contrast heavenly to Rancho's carefree and easygoing love for learning. Rancho and Virus's daughter, Pia (Kareena Kapoor), fall for each other but things start to fall apart when the influence of friends is embraced which leads to bad choices
When I watched this film It was in 2014, it was a cold windy Saturday morning. My first impression was, "here we go again, another boring film!" Because after reading the title, my brain instantly thought this movie was a flop. But I kept watching because it starred the talented, Aamir khan, who is one of the best actors of Bollywood. The film was hysterically funny and inspirational. The song, Give me some sunshine, is very powerful as it relates to most college students' life. The lyrics, "give me some sunshine, give me some rain...Give me another chance I wanna grow up once again...", gives me flashbacks about my childhood and want to relive those moments again where the sun was shining bright; where the clouds would spit out heavy rain which would swell the plants and create loud intimidating drops that simply calms your soul. We are all tired and need a little rain and a little sunshine in our foreheads sometimes. The climax of the film is when Rancho and his friends are caught asleep behind the back seats of the class by Virus. They were all drunk, but Rancho and Raju were awake from it and up sitting down with their blurry faces. Virus walks in and calls, Raju's name and he awkwardly replies, "present sir!" The bottle rolls on the floor and goes down to the front row where Silencer picks it up confidently and takes a sniff. Raju is called to Virus's office and is forced into an extreme scenario: He is forced to choose between Rancho or himself to be rusticated from ICE. Raju is stuck between sacrificing his poor family or his best friend. At the end, he jumps from the window and is immediately rushed to the hospital. I think this scene sums up what college experience really is: it is about the decisions you make as you mature. It is really a heart touching scene for the audience. It creates the pathos appeal as the it kicks in with the lyrics, "We won't let go of you. We won't let you go!" It is hard to translate it to English but the second sentence is inversed from the first sentence; this is done to paint an even picture in the audiences' minds because the meaning is same, but it is said in a different order.
Truely, an absolute powerful movie that teaches a significant life moral: do what you love to do, and your career will be that.
