3 Idiots is a 2009 Indian coming of age comedy-drama film directed by Rajkumar Hirani.
I watched this film when I was in first year college, first semester because it was a requirement at Communication subject in study of Bollywood film and we chose this one. The film is comedic, melodramatic and romantic.
They provided subtitle so that we could understand the movie because the language used is Hindi although some times they used to speak in English especially when they communicate with the other race included in the movie or if it is necessary.
The Bollywood film did flashbacks. There is this group of friends consists of three person since college. They took engineering. They parted ways until one day, Chatur “Silencer” Ramalingam (Omi Vaidya) called Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan) while He was on plane and told that he knows where Ranchhordas Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan), their long lost friend can be found. Farhan got off the plane through acting that he was sick. He went all the way to Raju Rastogi’s (Sharman Joshi) house and meet Silencer at the Imperial College of engineering.
Farhan and Raju thought that Rancho will show up at that place but he did not. They asked Silencer what’s the purpose of all these. Silencer reminisced everything that the three friends did while they were in college and reminded Rancho’s bet on him. They had a bet that on September 05, they will meet again and see who’s more successful. The two got angry because of Silencer’s foolish move. But they calm down when Silencer said that he knows where Rancho resides.
The flashback begins. Farhan does not really like to take up engineering, he wanted wildlife photography. But there’s nothing he could because that is what his parents wanted for him, their expectations are high. However, Raju has a very poor family income that the film used black and white filter to depict that they are really poor, he is the bread winner and he is so scared that he always call to different gods and offer sacrifices and prayers. While Rancho is a happy-go-lucky, sarcastic, and intelligent and… We’ll find it out at the end of the story.
They encountered different circumstances in their stay in college life. It’s an exclusive school. They stayed together, knew each other, bonded, studied, played, helped each other, etc. This is the story about friendship, love, family ties, reaching goals and fulfilling dreams.
The film has a touch of musical type. They try to express what they feel, if they’re in love or happy or bored through singing which creates another mood in the movie. It is inspiring with how we should take care and give importance to our friends, how we value our family, how we reach for our dreams on ways being true to ourselves and enjoying life. More than the camera angles, transitions, background music, artists, it’s the essence of the story that made this movie so good and uplifting for me. I even recommended this film to my relatives, church mates, friends and they feel the same. One of our favorite line is “All is well.“
NASAH.
