1st Movie Review- 3 Idiots

Clearly I have underestimated bollywood films, I've been the least enthusiast for dancing and singing scenes in movies, and yet I gave this a chance since it was recommended by a good friend of mine (thank u!). Not a glimps of disappointment was seen through my eyes except for tears from laughing and sadness. It came to me as a shock how this movie portrays real life dramas of friendship, hope, aspirations and hapiness of life that I can personally relate to.

Based on Chetan Bhagat's novel, Five Point Someone (though only a miniscule part was adapted to the movie) it was a story of three friends embarking life through college with unexpected twists and events. Rancho (Aamir Khan) the wise, optimistic, laid-back character was responsible for the advocacy of a good life, Raju (Sharman Joshi) lost from fear and later on was brave enough to let go and Farhan (R Madhavan) though smart, never had the passion for the vocation he took.

It started with reminiscing, both from the movie and myself. A flashback of college life suddenly connected me with the movie. What caught me most was the camaraderie of the three best friends. there was a scene where one of them had to choose between school and friendship, yes at first he chose to focus on his studies, but let it be known as shown in this movie that no matter how much you push your "real" friends away, for whatever reason there may be, they always have your back. Always there when you needed them most, be it for the good times and especially the bad.

Lesson: life may push to the limit and trip you over the clif, but in those hard and sad moments in your life, realize there would always be someone, that you are never alone and that others may come and go, but some of the few actually stays..

Though there are more life-changing lessons, i'll keep it hanging from here to hopefully convince you enough to watch it. I guarantee you that after you watch this movie, you'll be a little happier and contented than you were 3 hours before. Cuz' ALL IZZ WELL! :)
