3 cheers to the makers of 3 idiots! The best movie of 2009 teaches us how to live life and to pursue one’s dreams. All of us cherish the times spent in college. College life is all about having fun, bunking classes, catching the latest movie, crushes yada yada yada…For 3 idiots – Farhan, Rancho, and Raju, college was all this and more.
Rancho played by Amir Khan is a guy who thinks out of the box. Loves to implement what he has studied. Is inquisitive and believes in striving for excellence and not success.
Farhan played by Madhavan is a care free guy who admires Rancho’s outlook towards life. He’s an engineering student by default. His only passion is wildlife photography.
Raju played by Sharman Joshi likes sticking by the rules of life. Is a wimp who has an ailing father, unmarried sister and poor mother. Raju dreams to be an engineer.
Piya played by Kareena Kapoor is a medical student who is attracted to Rancho for his innovative ideas. And is professor’s dauugther who hates the 3 idiots.
Virus played by Boman Irani is a professor at ICE – Imperial College of Engineering. He hates students who bend the rules. Has a stereotypical outlook towards education and does not encourage imagination and innovation.
But all this does not stop the 3 idiots. They believe ‘aal izzz welll’ and that one must study to be capable in life. Rancho is a constant supoort in Farhan and Raju’s life. Rancho is a pillar of strength…It is the life of the 3 idiots, how they follow their dreams due to Rancho’s persistent efforts…
The movie conveys the message of student suicides, parental and peer pressure, ragging, the drive to be at the top and the need to move ahead in the race of life beautifully. Hats off to Rajkumar Hirani for conveying the message of life with ease and simplicity. It’s a must watch! One of the best movies of its time!
