Summary
Featured reviews
Watched every weekend, didn't need no other work; Made me laugh made me cry made me become what I am today; Inspired me, motivated me to achieve success every day;
I was choking in the crowd, it made me roar aloud; I was nowhere in my career, it made me a flourisher; I used to be havin a bad time, it took me to cloud nine; I was in pieces, it fixed me; It made me a it made me a believer, believer.
I was in pieces, it fixed me.
It gave me another chance, I grew up once again Na na na.... Na na na.... Na na na.... Na na nana na....
However I just watched this film and i gotta admit it...
I loved it!!!!
At first i was like well "lets see what this movie has to offer"
(btw its also the first Indian movie I've ever seen) and I was like okay
its funny and then... like wow so thoughtful and reflexive! It really
made me meditate about my career and my real dreams! Its a very good
movie! I'll recommend it to all my friends!
You must watch it!
All is Well!
Watch 3 idiots for a) amir khan's incredible acting b) intelligent and highly energatic screenplay & direction (Rajkumar Hirani has done it yet again!) c) amazing chemistry among actors, d) some of the best comedy scenes coming from Indian cinema in a long time and e) a heart warming story which keeps you spell binded right till the end.
I would rate it as among the best from amir khan (which obviously means among the very best from bollywood. I would also give a lot of credit to the director rajkumar hirani, who after this movie (and his previous munna bhai series) should rank as among the top in bollywood too. 9/10.
When a friend of mine recommended this movie, I haven't really heard of it. I thought it was a Hollywood release but it wasn't. It was a Bollywood movie. He said it was really funny, so out of curiosity, I got hold of a copy.
My first thought was that it was nothing but a silly story of 3 guys doing slapstick comedy that I have all seen before. When they started singing "All iz well.." I told myself... I knew it! Just what I thought.
But as the movie progressed...I was amazed at the intelligence embedded in this movie. I was so impressed with the smart dialogues delivered by Amir Khan. It was so mature and thought-provoking. The life crisis all of them were in... the pressures at school..the pressures from society and the pressures from family as well... they rang so true. I was even at one time crying my heart out. I can't believe it! All the preconceived notions about a Bollywood movie were obliterated. I was so moved by this picture and I have no regrets seeing it.
