One of my favorite movies of all time

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 2019)

It's so strange reviewing this movie after almost 10 years of its release. But after watching it again for the 50th time (no joke) I knew I had to write a review. I remember watching this movie when it was first released in theaters. As an 11 year-old Indian- American my hindi was pretty bad and some of the comedic scenes such as the one where Chatur was giving the speech in front of his school and made a mess (which i consider one of the best comedic scenes in any movie) went right over my head. Even the central message of the film which was to not follow success, but to do what you love and that success would follow you, was something I had still yet to understand. But now, watching this movie as a 20 year-old college student, really resonated with me. The trials and tribulations of being successful to appease your parents while also still battling the true aspirations that reside within you. All I can end this review by saying is this movie is truly a masterpiece and sure it did have some ridicoulous moments and scenes which could have been done without. But it's essence is timeless and even 30 years later, kids and adults alike will connect with this film.
