Raj kumar hirani's latest film "3 idiots" is one of the films which basically try to point out the flaws in education system through the relation between three college mates.
As in his earlier films, director has succeeded in presenting his ideas in most interesting manner and the film is a complete entertainer with a message!

The film begins when Farhan qureshi (Madhavan) and Raju Rastogi (sharman joshi) starts a journey to find their best friend Rancho (Aamir khan), whom they never met after their engineering college days.
On their way towards Manali to find Rancho, Farhan remembers their good old days at campus, which changed their lives completely...

Eventhough the story is loosely based on chetan Bhagat's 'five point someone', the director had made sure that there is something novel and fresh in his script and presentation. 3 idiots is just not a film which tells about the relationship of three friends, but something about the society, class difference and defects in our present educational system.

Eventhough we have seen many campus scenes in diferent films, surely the scenes in this film will make you think and laugh. That is the magic of Hirani's presentation skill! Hirani has left no moment unused and we can identify many scenes which can be rated as marvelous. But, delivery episode was somewhat over.

Actingwise, Aamir, and Boman irani has done their best for their roles as dean and different student. I Cant think about any other man in Aamir's place, who would have done this role this much better. Sarman Joshi was perfect as Raju and Madhavan was OK. Dont know why they have selected Kareena as Pia , who has been welcomed by loud boos in the hall.

Songs used were below average. Cinematography by Muraleedharan was excellent while picturising Manali.

All together, 3 idiots is a must watch film, which will definitely keep you entertained in the hall and give something to think about.

rating: 4.5/5
