3 idiots is a story that will possible be related to each and every one of us engineers but still is very different from that. The story is loosely based on Chetan Bhagat's Five point someone, but with a lot of chances in the plot and all that. The familiar Hari, Alok and Ryan and replaced by the new Rancho(Rancchoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad), Raju(Rastogi) and Farhan(Qureshi). The IIT-Delhi is replaced my the Impreial College of Engineering run by the hard nosed Professor Viru Sahastrabudhhe(Virus).
The movie in engineering terms can be said as a sine wave with happiness and seriousness alternating up and down. Like the peppy Aal Izz Well song drawing towards a tragic climax it's so cleverly done that it has the desired effect. There are scenes that'll make you laugh, they'll make you cry and they'll make you think. Most films have their own set of 'highlight' scenes. 3 Idiots is different because every scene is special and brings with it something that's out of the ordinary. But there are a few that have a far lasting impact the entire ragging sequence; Chatur's hilarious speech(i died laughing), the 1950's discription of Raju's family; Joy's I quit scene(after the all izz well song); Maddy persuading his family to let him take up wildlife photography and Sharman's interview; the sequences that lead to Raju's recovery in the hospital and last but not the least the scene of using a crudely made engineering tool used for pregnancy.
The film had everyhting and more and it was an instant classic. Overall, ‘3 Idiots’ is one film which will surely leave you with a smile. There will be a few glances at your watch if you have a problem sitting at one place for too long. But other than that, in all probabilities, you might have started saying ‘Aal izz well’ to yourself!
As for Raju Hirani - first it was Jaado ki Jappi(Munna Bhai MBBS), then Gandhigiri(Lage Raho MunnaBhai) and now "All izz Well". You sure know how to spark a new idea.. Lage raho raju ji :)
To the makers (pants down) : Jahanpana... Tussi great ho... tofa kubul karo..
Hidden well admist all the laughter and emotions is the message to all Youngsters : Follow your heart. Dont run after success, let success follow you. :)
