• 3 Idiots:

  Well, Spain having a restaurant run by an Indian is fine, but a Gujarati having an estate in Shimla isn't really on. This is so because prior to 2008, no non-Himachali could acquire any property in HP, whereas here we have Chahad Sr. bragging about the whole of Himachal knowing him... must have taken him some years to acquire such a position!

  I fully agree with the Nitty-Gritty that you have compiled. Here are a few of my observations:
  1) Why should a Chachad of Gujarat have an estate in Shimla and not in Surat or Baroda?
  2) Why did an obviously successful Phunsuk Wangdoo not get in touch with Pia and wait for his chums to get the two together after a gap of 10 long years, especially when he already had won over Virus?
  3) Why did Madhavan’s character had to be named Farhan, when they were to show him drinking later? Was it done with the sly intention of inviting the ire of Islamic fundamentalists, so that if the initial box office response was not encouraging, this controversy would create the necessary viewer interest? And in event of the controversy, they would have coolly dubbed ‘Farhan” as ‘Rohan”.
  4) Why did the zip of Rancho’s pant have to go up and down to explain his concept of machine; the zip could well have been that of his jacket.
  5) How come 10 years down the line, it is Chatur who remembers 5th September, while the extra- chatur Rancho doesn’t?

  Finally, I could catch up with the movie yesterday. Loved the movie thoroughly as I fondly reminisced my own hostel days. Last 2-3 weeks, I had been receiving a emails from old college friends with a suggestion to join facebook; but not until I had seen 3 idiots could I detect the trigger behind those mails!

  I think anybody who has spent a few years in a hostel would have found something in this movie to relate to. Of course the hostel here was too tidy for a boys hostel and the toilet humour a bit on the higher side. But the message of the movie-pursue excellence in the field of your passion, success would take care of itself-rose above all the trivia and caricatures employed.

• Singh is Kinng:

  I was surpirsed at the liberal usage of Punjabi phrases in the movie, it was almost like watching a dubbed version of a punjabi movie like Jaspal Bhatti's "Mahaul Theek Hai" (which I feel is a must-watch for every lover of Indian comedies).
  When one watches a no-brainer like this, one obvously doesn't expect much from the story, but at least the editing could have been more slick. The continuity jumps here were baffling. Still, I had a good laugh during the movie and found it paisa vasool, my knowledge of punjabi language coming to my aid.
  Meeta, I think you have been overly harsh in evaluating the performances of Pritam (Composer) and Supporting Actors (Om Puri and Kirron Kher included).
  With a better editor and minus a very irritating Javed Jaffery, this movie could have been much better, but it is still not bad for a one time see.
