3 IDIOTS

I am not a big fan of Bollywood movies. Used to watch a lot during my study years due to peer pressure (peer pressure ke? sendiri dok ulang tayang citer Kuch2 Hota Hai berkali2 tu apahal? kan cik Ma kan?)

In the recent years I hardly watch any Bollywood movies unless if I really have nothing to do and there's nothing to watch which is hardly the case because there are so many interesting things to watch - the Korean series, the Hollywood stuffs. `I actually have become judgmental toward Bollywood movies as I thought Bollywood movies always have the same story lines : man-woman complicated loves and series of songs and dancing. And besides, there's nobody to watch it together (it's a big NO-NO to cik HB when it comes to Bollywood movies). So I don't even bother to check out the Bollywood movies anymore.

Not that I have realized that Bollywood movies apparently have evolved into something more sophisticated, brilliant and mind-pondering masterpieces.

It is all began when I keep reading in the newspaper about Aamir Khan's international success in several Bollywood movies. It made me wonder, what is it so good about his acting, that he kept receiving praises. So I decided to check out at Youtube, and I selected randomly one of his latest movie called Taare Zameen Par. And the movie managed to make me watch it for several parts and cik HB became interested too. However, I didn't finish watching coz I had chores to do. And after several hours when I thought I wanted to continue watching the movie, cik HB told me he had downloaded another Aamir Khan's movie called 3 IDIOTS.

And I was like 'What???? Cik HB downloaded Bollywood movie?'

He said since there are enormous good comments on this movie, maybe we should try watch it.

So we did.

And it was beyond my expectation. The movie is awesome! It's brilliant and hilarious. If you like those Hollywood movies like Forest Gum or Beautiful Mind, then this movie is for you. No, it doesn't have the same story line but I classified the genre of this 3 Idiots as similar as the two mentioned. And even better!

And trust me, you won't get annoyed with the singing and dancing because that part of scenes play important roles in the movie. Besides, that singing and dancing parts are less than the normal Bollywood movies. If I'm not mistaken, about 2 or 3 songs only. I guess, being a Bollywood movie, it's just their nature to have the songs, huh?

The movie tells you about meaning of life, friendship, family values, love. And you going to laugh, at some points maybe even cry, and it makes you ponder. And if you study engineering, you'll appreciate this movie even more ^-^.

Aamir Khan's acting is really COOL....imagine a 40-something man (he was born in 1965) taking role of 20-something college student. And it doesn't seem awkward in your eyes. He deserves all the good comments.

I'm not going to write the movie review. As I watched, I was frustrated because the English subtitles were missing at several parts. So I'm thinking to find a better version of this movie.
