It has been a long long time since I have watched a film with ‘all’ my friends. 3 idiots was the perfect chance. A film based on 3 friends in a college setting.. and the promos were promising…but the case was not to be…. But still 3 of us from a bunch of 8-10 could manage to get together and see the film to gether.
Arranging for tickets was a struggle in itself. Suncity-chandan-suncity and finally chandan. But in the end ‘aal is more than well’. I would readily struggle for a few more times and wanna see the film already again..ter is already a temptation to bunk gym and catch a early morning show.
The 2 hour 50 odd minutes of yesterday evening are drilled in my mind. This is a victory for any filmmaker…that the film is not over even after the show is over. In the recent past few such films that have stayed long in my heart and mind are RDB, Lage Raho.., Munnabhai MBBS, Iqbal, Chak De. Add this one in the same bracket..
From aal is well to behti hawa sa thaa who all the songs are ringing in my mind. Right from the first sequences where Madhavan gets down from a plane about to take off (faking an heart attack), to the beginning of search (title sequence) where Simla is so beautifully canned, to the ragging scene to the machine scene to the gate crashing at the wedding to the speech on teacher’s day to the twist at interval to the scenes where Sharman jumps from the third floor and then subsequent recovery and revolution in his character..to the twists in the end..each and every sequence bears a stamp of genius. Intro of Sharman’s family is another superbly executed sequence. The suicide sequence gave me goose mums. Madhavan’s attempt to convince his parents has a lot for me to relate to personally. And the delivery sequence is just out of the world
The film is difficult to crack because there are so many emotions and intense ones at that… the chances of mixing up or going overboard are high..but Rajkumar Hirani handles everything to perfection. And the performances are just mesmerizing. Be it Aamir with his aal is well or Madhavan or Sharman (interview scene especially) or Boman Irani or Kareena, every one is superb. Millimeter and chatur are another examples of superb characterization.
In the end it is just a superb film which is universal, it will make everyone smile, laugh and cry!!! Plz plz plz watch it if u havn’t watched it yet.
