Raj Kumar Hirani; the name is enough to figure out the extent of success of his 3 IDIOTS after MUNNABHAI series. Munnabhai left ‘ jaadu ki jhappi’ as the residue in viewers’ heart and this time is Hirani’s ‘all izz whel’ (read as all is well) that has captured the attention.
The essence of ‘3 Idiots’ is ‘listening to heart and pursuing your dreams’ focusing on today’s education system’s impact in students’ mind.
‘3 Idiots’ is Aamir’s next after the record breaker ‘Ghajini’. Aamir, Madhavan and Sharman; earlier co-starred in ‘Rang de basanti’ and this time, they have worked as the 3 Idiots. The movie’s story is loosely based on Chetan Bhagat’s bestseller ‘five point someone’.
Rancho (Aamir), Farhan (R.Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi) are three friends who meet at Imperial College of Engineering. Rancho is a wealthy genius while Farhan and Raju belong to typical middle class families. Boman Irani as Viru Sahastrabuddhe, the Dean of the college, plays the villain character of the film, whose ways were against to that of Rancho. Moreover, Rancho and Viru’s daughter Pia (Kareena Kapoor) fall in love with each other, which adds further bitterness to Viru’s mind against Rancho.

The story is framed as a flashback from the present day, five years after graduation.
3 Idiots is not only setting the Indian box office on fire, but also is equally impressive in the overseas circuit. As per the report, the movie has set a record by grossing over Rs 100 Crores in four days after release and has done exceptionally well in Australia & UK.
Dialogues of “3 Idiots” are written well, and delivered in an effective manner. Music is delight to the ears. The choreography of “All izz well” and “Zoobie Doobie” are eye-catching. Aamir Khan has given his usual best, while Madhavan and Sharman have delivered remarkable performance too. Although Kareena’s role doesn’t have much screen space, it has created a strong impact on the viewer.
After the grand success of 3 Idiots Hirani says that he may do a Fantasy film next.

3 Idiots is emotional, entertaining, different and has tremendous youth appeal.
