3 idiots - Proud to be 3 X idiotic ! :D

Before this one, there is a story I wanna tell you. I wasn't getting any tickets for this movie and decided to chill when my friend came up. He said, "Saale, saalo baad aisi movie aayi hai, watch it. Don't miss !" Wait,that's not the whole story. Will complete in the end. Here comes the review.

Now don't go bragging it's FPS by Chetan Bhagat. It's nothing like that. That one gave u wonder in a book, this gives you amazement in a movie !

THE BASIC PLOT : Farhan (R.Madhavan - Bravo), Raju (Sharman Joshi) and Rancho (Aamir Khan) are three students at Imperial College of Engineering. Admitting only the best here, the college gives them many surprises in the form of the princi Viru Sahastrabuddhe (Boman Irani with an accent !) as they struggle to compete and become successful engineers in this world. Pia, the Princi's daughter soon turns up and Rancho is head over heels for her. But the college has a way of life; these 3 have one completely against it ! Hence they become famous as THE 3 idiots. With many kicks putting them down while Rancho holding them up, they complete their graduation with Rancho mysteriously disappearing.

5 years into the future, Farhan and Raju learn Rancho's whereabouts from Chatur (Omi Vaidya), another student who has an unfinished battle with Rancho. They reach his place and find Rancho indeed ; but it wasn't Rancho, this was a totally different person ! Where was Rancho, or that guy who they thought was Rancho ? What happened to him and Pia ? We find out this and more as they soon travel all over India from Delhi to Ladakh to Shimla to find their long-lost friend. What happens ? I am not going to tell you, watch it ! Trust me, you will love it !

BEST SCENE : Chatur Ramalingam's speech on teacher's day in which Rancho messes with the words.

Awesome comedy. One of the best movies of 2009, heck, this decade ! A brilliant performance by all the actors ! Sure to be a cult movie, it has the spark of BRILLIANCE Rajkumar Hirani showed with his other movies like the Munnabhai series ! Oh, almost forgot. The story ; first I thought he was joking around but after watching it I realised, how little he told me.

RATING= ****

TO WATCH OR TO MISS ? : If you dont watch it, you will regret it !

Now I gotta go. Should book the tickets, I surely wanna watch it again ! :D

The Avatar : Get ready to be Avatar-ed !

Hi, I am Shashank, your normal student guy here with the review of the Avatar. From now on on this blog, I will also be presenting reviews, rating them and will tell you guys to give it a hit or throw it away. My first review, here goes !

James Cameron's TITANIC was something that everyone loved. It had the complete elements for a movie and I don't need to name them. And everyone expected something out of Avatar,the most hyped movie of 2009.Yes, Avatar is out and is really good, but doesn't even come under the Titanic League ! There are Awesome special effects, hard hitting dialogues, good voice-overs and not to forget, the ACTION but it doesnt have the Titanic Magic !

THE WHOLE PLOT : It is basically about an other planet Pandora where soldiers from the world are sent to obtain a metal called Uptanainium, something very valuable (sells at 20m per piece!). Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) is one of the many soldiers present who have come to claim their share. This world is protected by Na'pi, and as you watch them you are reminded of African tribes in blue paint ! Jake along with a team is sent as a spy to make them go down without a fight and his loyalties are tested as he has to decide to save the Na'pi and Mother Nature or give all this up and stay with the winning side. What happens to him and the Na'pi is something you will find out at the theatre !

THE GOOD POINTS : Awesome, i mean it, awesome special effects ! Watch it in IMAX 3D for all the fun. Really good cast and you also get to see Michelle Rodriguez(surprise!) in the movie.(Letty in F&F). Very impressive acting by Zoe Saldan, while I think Sam needs a little acting lesson on his emotions.

THE BAD POINTS : Not anything really; except that James Cameron after 11 years; we expected hell out of this movie but those fell short.

RATING : ***1/2 [*=Sucks!,**=Best on a DVD,***=One time watch,****=Watch it !]

Watch or forget ? : Definitely a watch !
