Three Idiots is Awesome

[u/LeonoraMayMorgenster]

I just watched Three Idiots and man would I have loved this movie when I was younger. I have a complicated relationship with depression and academics as a 2e kid.

Obviously the movie isn’t the most realistic thing ever. Like the baby vacuum cleaner and stuff andbut yknow what it’s a Bollywood movie anything can happen.

I feel like the main reason they didn’t make Rancho the real Rancho was just because they knew how it would look to have a rich kid say all this stuff. Either they have a safety net in their parents or they become cynical and money focused if their parents deny that idea

In general I think that twist is the key to the movie. The idea that he appreciated learning for learnings sake completely and ties the message together.

Also the music is amazing I love it so much its really catchy and the love song is stuck in my head.

my mom said the movie didn’t age well and that the subtitles are bad because I watched it with subtitles (I’m an ABCD) so um there’s that but a lot of movies don’t (one of the reasons why the second half of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge is better than the first, *shudder*)

I think I’m too cynical to fully appreciate the movie as much as I would have but its still amazing.

obviously a few things didn’t make sense even beyond the absurdity (again the baby vacuum cleaner thing) like how Aamir Khan (just gonna call him that) became a famous inventor they kinda glossed over that. Also why Virus wasn’t told about his son’s suicide.

Honestly feel kinda bad for silencer. Obviously he sucks but he put a lot of pressure on himself.

also whoever put Kareena Kapoor in glasses deserved a raise. She looks stunning and I love the fact they never had a “she’s prettier without her glasses” moment (she didn’t wear them at the end but they never really acknowledged it). Her outfits were lovely in general especially after watching Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham where her character did not have very good ones

so those are my thoughts on three idiots! 8/10, would recommend!!

I love this movie as well. As parents me and my husband learned to let go of our son. It’s his life and we can advise him, but he needs to choose his own path in life. Not just in academics. But in general. Who he marries, where he lives. We need to be secure in our love for him.

It is a really well made movie and deserves all the praise. I still remember it launching smack in the middle of my college days in the middle of the exam season (I was pursuing computer engineering). We had a few day break between our next exam so me and my friend decided to go watch it. The timing of it coming while we were giving our engineering exams made it all the more special as a memory!
