Am I the only person who did not like 3 idiots?
It was a stupid movie.
The movie was supposedly based on the book “5 point some one” and Chetan Bhagat had a spat over it with the producer over the book
I mean yes the movie is a copy of the book with a few hindi movie touches here and there ….but if i were Chetan Bhagat I would have disassociated my self from themovie because the movie is a insult to my intellectuality (even though I think I am saturated with foolishness but hey nothing is 100%)
Where do I start my ranting…?
Ya the first day of your college ranting you electrocute your senior ….believe me no matter how big a hotshot your dad is, you are dead the next day.
In our engineering college if we had a junior who spoke to us in a slightly high tone we made sure to set an example of his actions to others.
but no…our Amir khan (Rancho) electrocutes his senior with no consequences. huh!
Ya, Amir khan is a “know it all” guy who can read faces, give parents a parenting class, ride around in Delhi with out a helmet, triple with three people on the bike, Knows more than the University Dean him self.
I mean really, The main emphasis of this university dean was to ” Learn by Rote”, How the hell did he become the dean of a university if all he did was learn by rote? You just do not become a professor by teaching, there is a big and a steep curve to become a professor, you need to write journals and articles which need to be published in magazines and reviewed, You need to guide 10 to 20 students to a PHD. And please, Boman Irani , no matter how good a actor he was was looking stupid in the portraying of the dean.
He can write with two hands at once…really?
Only sleeps for 4 hours in a day, and gets his shave in his sleep, powernap….!! Come on.
Vaccum cleaner modify , flooding in delhi…. O come on!!!
Half of the jokes were stale and have been heard over and over again
1. Why did the Americans not use a pencil in space?
Of course they could have used a pencil in space, that is what they did before they made the pen.
There exists a common urban legend claiming that the Americans spent millions of dollars developing the Space Pen, and the Russians used ordinary graphite pencil.[1] Russian cosmonauts in fact used grease pencils on plastic slates until also adopting the space pen in 1969 with a purchase of 100 units for use on all future missions. [2] NASA programs previously used pencils (for example a 1965 order of mechanical pencils[1]) but because of the danger that a broken-off pencil tip poses in zero gravity and the flammable nature of the wood present in pencils[1] a better solution was needed. NASA never approached Paul Fisher to develop a pen, nor did Fisher receive any government funding for the pen’s development. Fisher invented it independently, and then asked NASA to try it. After the introduction of the AG7 Space Pen, both the American and Soviet (later Russian) space agencies adopted it.
2.Working of a 4 stroke engine?
Bhrummm…bhurmmm bhurmmmm. Really? this is the first joke you crack when you enter an engineering college
3. Do you have any idea who I am ?
The movie copied this ad in the movie
The movie was not funny.
I will count out the bits where I laughed.
The scene with the dogs named a kilo bit , mega bit and giga bit,that was genuine joke . I cannot think of any more….
O wait…. I know… Hmmm the one where kareena says “Why Gujjus name their food so dangerous ?”
And I think that is it.
O please, chatur’s balatkar speach was pathetic… I was twitching in my seat. But apparently I was the only one in the hall twitching and crumbling
I really thought this was a insult to my intelligence.
My friend Sameer dev did have the opinion that this was the best movie ever….what does he know… he almost got me killed an he is a economist and a Amir khan fan boy.
I will tell that Rang de Basanti was a nice movie which had a social message and was some what funny and genuine.
How the hell is the movie supposed to be in connection with Engineers.?
In what way and in what universe?
If you want a movie which relates to academic and engineering then see “A beautiful mind”
A little bit about the protagonist of the movie John Nash
Or “The big bang theory”
Try watching this
Schrodinger’s cat from the series “The Big bang theory”
and read the wiki article on it here
Now this was both educational and funny, Wouldn’t you agree??
But No…. Amir khan was a exceptionally great dude who could make final year project in his first semester itself, break doors with one hand, has the knowledge of good will of a saint, give parenting lectures, Child mortality rate, suicide rates in India, can bring the dead back to life etc.
We were all expecting the story of the book rather than a moral science lesson from Amir khan
Well none the less with all of Amir Khans trips and hypes all over the country he did manage to pull of the biggest hits of the century, and thanks of his image no one dared to speak against the movie.
Amair Khan Promoting the movie
Now he is in banaras
Sachin Promoting the movie
But I am a man who appreciates talent ( Or so I have been brought up to think) I will give amir credit where it is due..
this was one of the best marketed films. A medocare film made hit with a excellent marketing.
Great going Amir!
But the movie was not as good as hyped by the media.

Personally I found the movie EXCELLENT. Infact I would give it 10/10. Here is my review on the movie-
http://vu-point.blogspot.com/2009/12/3-idiots-movie-review.html
I have also watched the movie “A beautiful mind”. Its also an excellent movie thats in a completely different league! My rating for it- 9/10.
I wonder how you can say that the movie was “fuuny”? The movie was more of a thriller with suspense. Maybe 1-2 scenes in the college initally were funny.
But comparing A beautiful mind and 3 idiots would be like comparing Swades and Welcome!! Though I liked both of these movies but they are poles apart when it comes to Genre!
Like I did begin with me not finding 3 idiots funny, I was comparing the movie in terms of “engineering/mathematics ” related notes.
I should re read the post and re write it again.
too lazy for that…Yawn!!!
I don’t think they ever promoted the movie (3 idiots) in a way that would give impression to viewers that they will learn about engineering/maths from the movie whereas A beautiful mind is a completely different take.
Whether you found the movie funny or not is a different case altogether and would depend from person to person.
wonder how gud a critic wud a person be if he’s in love with a movie like ‘Gunda’ ;D
Hmm

You might want to read this before you insult my “pseudo ” intellectuality
nt so sure about reading it cz wen i have experienced the prduct myself y wud i b concrnd bout second hand info… bsides, i was under the impression that u always form ur own opinion….seems like in Gunda’s case u got “inspired”!!
Gunda has so many levels to it.
You need to have that intellect to understand and take notice of it.

Had it been aamir khan instead of mithun da you would have jumped all over it.
And hey it did not copy its scenes from ads and lame jokes floting over internet via email fwds or are on twitter of facebook.
Its 100% original.
I some how think they will make a remake of gunda with Aamir khan in it.
Hey they did make a remake of Ghazni, din’t they?
Shitty punk ass movie!!!
penny is really cute in The Big Bang Theory, great comedy tv series too.::
thats why the name of the movie is 3 idiots?
One billion idiots would have been a better title i guess
The Big Bang Theory, for me, is the best nerd-chick comedy out there, i wish that this tv series runs longer’.*
The book by Chetan Bhagat is much more sensibe and enjoyable. After viewing “The 3 Idiots” and the related controversies, I draw the following observation:
The whole poulation can be divided into 3 categories of Idiots:
FIRST CATEGORY – The so called “creative” persons who try to do something supposed to be original / new and tagging it as their “creative activity”
SECOND CATEGORY – This category scavanges around and looks for such floating “creative” objects that have a potential for making “easy moolah”. They turn these ‘objects’ by adding their own “stupidities / fantasies” to claim the ‘turned around object’ as their own creation – some times a token lollypop is given to the “Idiot Category I”
THIRD CATEGORY – This includes Idiots like us who go and watch the ‘creativity of Idiot Category II’ and keep on discussing it ad-nauseum
Suggest let every one enjoy the meal through the satisfaction one generates by performing certain “IDIOTIC ACTIVITIES”
Apologies in advance if I have hurt someone’s feelings
Lot of Aamir Khan Fan boys here.
You missed the point of a movie, movie is an art, you waste it if you watch it with technical logic mind.
Art??
Picasso must be rolling in his grave after watching this.
Well,
How can u say the movie is funny!!!
It’s very practical and knowledgable movie,it may have copied ideas from outside sources which I dont encourage.
BUT
After watching this film I think it’s made for me!I am a mechanical enginiering student and have 2 idiot friends really.I am really a scientist,I am inventing an engine that runs on Gravity!!!
I am inventing new type of safe nuclear technology for cars.
Mine and Rancho’s thoughts are mostly same,I hate Indian education system.Its very worst actually.
Please see

I am not joking.Rancho’s character is very similar to mine.
I will definately watch “A beautiful mind”,which u have suggested.
I was wondering why 3 idiots have not made to Oscars.
May be because there are only few original thinkers like me in Our country.Ha Ha Ha!!!
I suggest to see”October Sky”,it’s a great movie.
My friend showed this movie to me because the main character in this movie is very similar to me.
The Rocket Boy in this film wants to go to to space.
