3 idiots


3 Idiots is a movie I would not have bothered with had a film like Slumdog Millionaire never won an Oscar. I would have only ever attempted to see World Cinema such as it (3 Idiots) if equally entertaining English speaking movies cease to be available to humankind. Never fancied Indian cinema so much; never had, never will. But 3 Idiots’ silly morality play worked for me somehow, as in I eventually found it’s initially annoying and simplistic ideas too appealing to dismiss and be indifferent about. At almost 3 hours, there’s plenty of time to actively hate it for various, often personal reasons, including its inherent weirdness, and the many, many times all three lead guys had to weep in moments where terrific revelation of great dramatic tensions, of which there are a lot, are ushered in by sweeping, overbearing, dramatic musical score. It was just really too much crying for 3 guys in one film. The titular 3 idiots aren’t actually idiots but drama queens.
Also, I don’t very much adore precociousness so the Ranchoddas “Rancho” Shamaldas Chanchad character, with his constant wiseassery have had to reach a tolerance apex. And it reached mine so hard. Although Ahmir Khan is too great to invest that much annoyance on. But I was won over because in spite of the plenty, corny follow-your-dream-while-in-college oversentimentalization, I find it hard to resist the fantasy lives it presents: mainly, the choose the right path Life Lessons, the idealization of the unorthodox approach to studying and learning, the Take A Chance On Life preachery, etc, etc. Its ‘pursue an engineering course and ruin your life forever’ twist is obnoxious in its simplicity but within that statement is a truth that movies with ridiculous but sometimes cute dancing one is not supposed to take from, at least not too seriously. Because it’s a Bollywood film! But every time I stare at an alienating Income Statement or Balance Sheet for an indifferent and totally filthy rich company, and find myself groping for a right equation, I remember 3 Idiots because it was right! People should really not take engineering and other difficult, soul-sucking courses, because if you do, you will stare at an alienating Income Statement for an indifferent and totally filthy rich company, and find yourself groping for a right equation, possibly for all eternity. Scary!
