Sagarika Ghosh: On 3-idiots
I was astonished by the intense observation that you have done while watching the movie. I am sure you are among the few people like me who have practically noticed the mocks for the Laplace Transform in the film. I would say there were a lot of loop holes in the script - from trading an imperial degree to being outstandingly out of the way brillient student. Moreover, the most striking part was being the world reknowned scientist after everything that had happened and that too without an identity or a stamp of an institution. This is definitely not only difficult but impossible in any education system. The professor Virus who had 3 students committing suicide for his demand to excellence, as you will notice, goes unattended by the law and enforcement throughout. In a country like ours ...all these are impossible.Emergency landing of a flight when a person faints would never end up saying "gentleman ..I am fine. You can carry on". that would have been doomsday for aviation industry.
The film was fun, the script was well versed and everyone did their job well. Aamir, Sharman,Madhavan and Boman Irani are all wonderful actors and Chetan Bhagat's adaptation did a magic to the film.I would say we can simply enjoy and come back without a lesson from this movie. All the characters are simply hypothetical and one among those 1000 special people out there.
Professor Virus is a representative of that one professors among all of them across the globe.Racho is one among all the brilliant students across and so is the entire cast.
So.... This movie is a good watch- Go, have fun,have a laugh and come back......No Take-Homes and No Doggy Bag(That could turn dangerous!!!)

ReplyDeleteGood to see some sanity left in people. I was getting tired of all the scripted PPTs and all about what we learnt from 3 idiots.
Most are going Ga ga over all the message and lesson from the movie. I've read the book, not seen the movie yet, but having read the book I've figured in spite of the high spirits of the storyline, there are several loopholes and there's very little to take away from the entire thing.
What I personally feel is that if anyone of us had a friend like Rancho,we would have bid him farewell in the 1st month of our friendship. (Keeping myself in Sharman n Madhavan's shoes) But then I remembered,oh its a movie and the lead actor has got to be the best. Another point to mark,lets neglect the hypothetical part of the movie, that the movie started off well with that 'thinking out of the box' concept thing with Maddy getting out of plane and taking the cab,aamir electifying his senior during raging,etc.. the movie lost this 'out of this box' with time.
