Two friends embark on a quest for a lost buddy. On this journey, they encounter a long forgotten bet, a wedding they must crash, and a funeral that goes, ridiculously out of control. As they make thei...( read more  read more... )r way through the perilous landscape, another journey begins: their inner journey through memory lane and the story of their friend -- the impressible free-thinker Rancho, who is in unique way, touched and changed their lives. It's a story of their hostel days that swings between Rancho's romance with the spirited Pia, and his clash with an oppressive mentor, Viru Sahastrabudhhe. And then one day, suddenly, Rancho vanished. Who was he? Where did he come from? Why did he leave? The friend who influenced and inspired them to think creatively and independently, even as the conformist world called them "three idiots." Where is the original idiot now? Finally, in misty mountains of unparalleled beauty, the friends find the key to the secret.

    A good entertainer. Hats off to Boman Irani. Aamir Khan as usual delivers a very good performance. There are some drawbacks....hard to believe college students become mid-wives to deliver a baby using a vacuum cleaner :-).

    Our education system needs to change but the message con...( read more)veyed through the movie is far from true.

    Aamir Khan does only one movie a year and for good reason. He completely immerses himself in his role and yes he is even believable as a college student. "3 Idiots" (based on Chetan Bhagat's novel "Five Point Someone", which is currently shrouded in controversy) is much deeper a...( read more)nd funnier than what the previews show. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi , Boman Irani and Kareena Kapoor round out the supporting cast and they are all excellent. Yes there are a few scenes that are over the top. Things conveniently fit together and in the end "Awl iz well". I could have done without the little side stories but rest of the film is so good that it overshadows the minor flaws and "3 Idiots" ends up being one of the best films of the year. Two friends set out on a Journey to find their long lost college friend Rancho. A selfless human being who inspires them to think freely and ultimately saves them from a life of regrets. Who is this Rancho? where did he come from, more importantly where did he go? The movie flashes back and forth to their college years together and their Journey in the present to find their friend. They hit road bump after road bump and their quest becomes an inner journey of faith and understanding. The team behind "Munaa Bhai MBBS" have made a very important film. I hope students, parents and teachers alike learn something from this movie. This film even manages to have a twist half way through. The songs are quite catchy, you'll be humming them out of the theater. "3 Idiots" is a wonderfully smart, entertaining and inspiring film that everyone must see!

    You tend to get some real good vibes after watching this movie. Raju really takes the effort to create movies that are influenced by real life stories. Aamir & raju are a deadly combination. kareena doesn't sizzle on screen for first time in years but you still love her !!!!
