Movies like 3 idiots movie#

3 Idiots is a movie depicting an вЂidealвЂ™ scenario and not a real one. 3 Idiots had all the basic elements of a Yash Raj movie and would perhaps bear the same criticism of critics that Yash Raj movies bear. However, apart from the costumes, not much changed. If Yash Raj were to move with time, back in 1990s, I would have projected them to make movies like вЂ3 IdiotsвЂ™. The climax of the film - Mona Singh's delivery - was like the final engineering exam! It covered a lot of concepts of engineering! Moving the story back and forth in time added the element of curiosity to the movie as the audience continuously tries to join the dots. Scattering the use of science in daily life - like using the fact that salt water is a good conductor of electricity, etc вЂ“ was very good which, I am sure, a lot of educational institutes will adopt. All the actors, including (surprisingly) Kareena Kapoor acted well. Aamir khan, Madhavan and Sharman Joshi did look like a college students.

Full marks to Swanand Kirkire for the poignant lyrics and Shantanu Moitra for the apt music. The music, the timing and the lyrics of the songs are amazing. Raising social problems with the help of humor is a rare art in Bollywood. Poor public healthcare facilities and inflation of food prices were also hinted upon in the form of comedy. By hinting that the house of Raju (Sharman Joshi) was like that showed in a typical 1950вЂ™s film, Rajkumar Hirani showed that the evils of dowry still haunt India. A lot of other social issues were highlighted вЂ“ parental pressure, teacherвЂ™s pressure and marks centric exam system (and education system, as a whole) which award the one who can cram the most. The most вЂlogicalвЂ™ think for a student to do if heвЂ™s getting good academic score consistently is to go for engineering or medical. Every parent wants his child to be either an engineer or a doctor. Somehow, there is this obsession in India to go for engineering (and, perhaps, then MBA). The theme of 3 Idiots is not only fresh but also very relevant. Generally, вЂgoodвЂ™ and вЂcommercial movieвЂ™ donвЂ™t go together and are considered antonyms in some purists' dictionary.

However, conventional way of marketing - creating alternate reality game, merchandising, etc - was also used. I think this is the first time such marketing techniques which involve common people was use. Given the theme of the movie and the fact that the movie viewers are common people who look up to such вЂstartsвЂ™, it made sense to promote the movie that way. People who have traveled in shared-autos in HiTec City, Hyderabad would know risky it is, in more than one way, to travel in an autorickshaws with 9 other people! Also, meeting the local people (instead of going to the high profile parties) was also unique. In addition to promoting the movie, it also had a safety message. ItвЂ™s better than вЂSanam BewafaвЂ™ written on the auto's black backs with a heart pierced by an arrow. Sticking вЂ Capacity: 3 IdiotsвЂ™ behind autos was pretty innovative. Apart from Aamir Khan, despite his short-term-sanity-loss in Ghajini, the innovative way of promoting the movie drew me towards the 3 Idiots. But that was not the first thing which made me curious about the movie. I also listened to and loved the вЂgive me some sunshineвЂ™ being played on the PA system almost everyday while on the yatra! The euphoria which it created made me finally watch it. I heard a lot about it by my non-TJY friends while I was on the yatra.
