3 idiots

Yesterday I went to one of the biggest blockbuster movie of the decade-The 3 idiots. it was definitely a well made movie with Aamir Khan despite being 44 looked a collegian.

what I liked
-Boman Irani's acting
-Great scenic shots
-Aamir Khan's attitude
-some dialogues

what pissed me off
-more than 80% of the movie was from the book. I totally agree with Chetan Bhagat (http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_160-of-170-pages-of-3-idiots-script-were-mine-abhijat-joshi_1331436).

I didn't expect such response from good film-makers of the Munnabhai fame to get embroiled in such stupid controversy. If it was for a cheap publicity, then both film-makers Vinod Chopra and the author Chetan Bhagat should be blamed. And if we believe Chetan bhagat, which I feel is true after watching the movie, then he surely deserves credit due as well as good royalty payment. Film is the top grosser on the bourses.

-Madhvan no way looked like he was doing engineering. "All is well" song showed his plumpness. If he wanted to be shown as engineer, then directors should have shown him that he has repeated each engg. year

-Crowd in the theater-went for really cheap tickets (Rs. 40 wonly!!! as we sat in the stalls-for Y-generation-please run through the dictionary for what it means), and got high pitched whistling for free

But still all is well :)

I absolutely agree Chetan Bhagat deserves a royalty amt higher than what he has been paid...It is wrong that most of these Big film producers and directors don't appreciate and give the due to the original writer...Wrong practice and they should be condemned for it...
