As they set out on a road trip from Delhi to Shimla to Manali to Ladakh to find their friend, the narrative cuts to and fro into flashbacks as we are introduced to the three idiots in an engineering college. The story starts a decade after the graduation of college companions Farhan (R Madhavan) and Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi) who get a clue on the whereabouts of their missing third friend Rancho (Aamir Khan). Loosely based on Chetan Bhagat’s bestseller Five Point Someone, 3 Idiots takes the plot much beyond the campus confines and the target audience much above the youth, for universal appeal. And like his doctrine, all is well in his helluva film.
That’s the golden touch of Rajkumar Hirani! So after successfully dispensing philosophies of ‘ Jaadu ki jhappi ’ in Munnabhai MBBS and ‘ Gandhigiri ’ in Lage Raho Munnabhai, Hirani incites a new philosophy of ‘ Aal izz well ’ in 3 Idiots. And when the motionless newborn responds to a goodwill chant of ‘ aal izz well ’ in true-blue Manmohan Desai mode, you fail to find a fault in the filmi formula. For a group of all-male engineering students, to ‘deliver’ means to literally carry out a delivery operation on a woman in labour pain. But the scene still doesn’t come across as clichéd. For the zillionth time in a Hindi film, a bride runs away from the pheras on her wedding day. Rather than feeling gross at that instant, you have a lump in throat. Downshowrating=1 In a late scene from the film, 2 of the 3 idiots zip down their pants and pat their bottoms facing the third idiot.
