3 Idiots – A Preview
3 Idiots is probably the most awaited movie of the year. And there is more than one reason for it. First, the movie stars Aamir Khan and any movie that has this name automatically becomes “much awaited” even before going on the floor. Plus, this movie is directed by none other than Rajkumar Hirani, the director of Munnabhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munnabhai.
The movie also stars Kareena Kapoor, Sharman Joshi and R. Madhavan and has Boman Irani in supporting cast. This will be Aamir’s second release since Ghajini which released last December and created box-office history. Needless to say, fans are very excited to watch it.
The movie has higher education system in its background and is based on popular novel “Five Point Someone” by Chetan Bhagat. The story is about three engineering students who have come from different backgrounds to study in an engineering college. In the book, the college was shown to be the famous Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi. But as shown in the promos, the college name has been changed in the movie.
The movie is about how these three boys handle the stress of life and studies in the high stress engineering course. It also touches up on the peer pressure and stress of family expectations on young mind and how it can sometimes drive them to the edge.
The book, Five Point Someone is acclaimed to be the best work by popular author who has made a name for writing bollywood-ized fiction that always has a touch of reality from his own past or someone in his life.
Synopsis: Three total strangers enter an Engineering college in Delhi. They soon become friends and start learning about each other’s lives. Meanwhile, one of them falls in love with the daughter of the strict professor and life takes a complicated turn.
The promos of 3 Idiots look very interesting, but the only problem that most audiences are worried about is Aamir Khan’s age. Even though, Rajkumar Hirani has worked hard to make Aamir look younger, he just can’t pass off as a 19 year old (the average age at which anyone starts an Engineering course) anymore. And let’s face it; R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and Kareena Kapoor don’t look 19 year old anymore either. What prompted Aamir to take up such a role is a mystery to many people.
The movie has been shot at various locations in Delhi, Bangalore, Shimla and Ladakh. The music of 3 Idiots is already climbing the charts, especially the song “All is Well”. Other songs are also good, but they might become popular only after the movie’s release.
Even though, the movie can’t be a complete adaptation of the book, the promos give a feel of the sequences that we might have read in the book. Will the audience accept a 40+ Aamir, Raghavan and 30+ Sharman as 19 year olds? Will the movie meet the expectations?
The answers to these questions will be answered on December 25th when it releases worldwide.
