Silent J’s review:
I'd like to personally thank mohanbharathi srinivasan for recommending me this film. Well, actually a very good personal friend of mine recommended me this earlier, but I never got around to it and somehow forgot about it. Thankfully, mohanbharathi srinivasan helped push me back in the direction of this outstanding film.
It's as inspiring as it is heartfelt and just as funny. This is the kind of feel good film that will leave you with a smile on your face and some food for thought. Many of the actors turn in deep and charming performances. The characters are very likable and the characters that you don't like end up being entertaining. Aamir Khan as Rancho is definitely my favorite of the cast. All three idiots have a bond that is both believable and relatable. There are moments where they win your empathy as well as your heart. The songs are really catchy. It's already a long film, but I loved it so much that I kinda wish it was longer. Lively and just brilliant. The cinematography, soundtrack, score, acting, directing, dialogue...all just excellent.
All in all, my words really don't do it justice. This is not only the best Bollywood film I've seen but one of the best films I've ever seen. Hilarious and heartbreaking; this is a film that I think I will find myself watching many times in the future and I think you should too. A must see.
You saw it!!!! :)
Yep, and now it's already one of my all time favorites. Loved every minute of it :D
I'm glad you loved it!!! This film never ceases to amaze me... it's a true emotional roller coaster and the chemistry between the cast is amazing. It manages to do something a lot of films fail in doing - entertain and leave you thinking about a real problem in society. Brilliant!
Also I've made a list of movies like Endhiran since you liked that one. I'm also going to making a list of movies like 3 Idiots which are cult classics in India. I'll let you know when I do!
You hit the nail right on the head! This film is that brilliant! I'll check that list out and I'm looking forward to your list of movies like 3 Idiots!
