3 Idiots (2009 Movie)

I watched it & I liked it. Aamir has done a great job in his role of Rancho, looks young & acts young. His body language is amazing as well. He perfectly suits in the role of a young rebel student who wants to gain knowledge to become educated and not just a literate. Madhvan & Sharman as his freinds have done a great job in there own roles. Madhavn is one of the most under-rated actors in north. He's a great actor (I remember him from the days of Sea-Hawks on DD) and still not very successful in main leads. He suits his role of undecided youngster who wants to be a photographer but parents want him to be an engineer (it always happens in India, doesen't it??).Sharman is great in these kind of suporting roles. He's talented and also lucky that he's getting such great opportunities with Amir (remember RDB) and he always keeps upto it. His tragic family drama of poor family, working mother, unwed sister showed in Black & White is really funny. Kareena looks great and knows how to act (when she gets the right director) and usually good at over-acting roles. Boman is our next Ashok Kumar, great comedic timing and good in character roles as well. He suits the role of Strict Dean (again after Munnabhai, not as funny but nice!!). What was Javed Jaffrey & Mona Singh (aka Jassi)doing? Is this her big break?? Overall a very suited cast and well performed by everyone. And Yeah, Omi Vaidya is a good surprise package, looks good as both young & old Chatur and very balanced acting, good job!! the story line is good sarcastic view of the education system where we just want to make students cram & get good grades even if they learn anything or not. Knowledge is not as important as Degrees. Rajkumar Hirani is really good, knows how to make a nice fun movie with social message but still maintain the entertainment value, lots of drama & overacting at places but all planned & part of fun (well the child delievry was lil over the top though). Looking forward for Munnabhai-3.

So, I really liked it!! Nice take on Chetan Bhagat's novel (it was an adaption of Five Point Someone, right??) or on today's India's education System? Sweet music? Movie that gives you enjoyment but still makes you really think at the end? Finally I would say: 8.5/10. You know, I took the Idiot Exam on the movie's website & scored full. Passed all the semesters/rounds with great scores. Am I an Idiot? A genius Idiot?? LOL!!

3 mistakes of my life...

So... what am I talking about? Chetan Bhagat's book '3 mistakes of my life', which I read recently or "3 mistakes of my life". I am not sure, but for a start i'll talk of the book. I LIKED IT... now you might think that I like anything (I had enough praise for Inscrutable Americans, remember?), but it's not true. Actually I hardly like anything except myself, it really has to be good or even more for me to like it; this book was a good read though. As I said in my previous blog "the events which are news for many can change life of the people who are part of it"; a nice story of 3 friends whose life's go through several turmoils as per the event around them (9/11 attacks, Gujrat earthquakes, Godhra riots etc). I feel he has done a good job with of creativity and language of the story, like a bollywood masala movie.

As for me, I don't remember how many mistakes I have done... guess I haven't done any. Or at least I don't consider them mistakes. Those were decisions taken on those moments or driven by moments; I accept them and I am fine with it. I am what I am because of what I have been through and the decisions I have taken. Ummmm, they might be considered as mistakes if I am too analytical but I don't regret any of my actions yet. We are supposed to learn from our mistakes, but do we?? But all of us do mistakes; they make our life interesting. Most of the people keep repeating form mistakes without any learning.... and the ones who do are considered different & special!! Have you done any mistakes... or I should say would you like to share any?? Or your views about mistakes. Till then... keep reading, commenting & enjoying. This is RAHUL saying Good Bye & Good Luck... JAI HO!!!!!
