Promises are fulfilled, Expectations are met. Now... I can breathe normal now. That Aamir has delivered it 3rd time in a row. Yes, its a hattrick. After Tare Zameen Pai and Ghajini, this is yet another movie that makes you feel 'What a Movie !!'. What a movie. A full on experience of trademark Rajkumar Hirani's own style masala movie. 3 Idiots is undoubtedly the Best of 2009.

No doubt traces of Munna bhai series are there. And that is for sure. Cause its Raju's movie after all. But neither it hurts nor it disappoints. The sequences are not intended to be repeated in the movie but the story demands them. Moreover, big relief is that, Raju and Abhijat Joshi - the writer duo -has taken only bits from the novel and whenever he has done that, it is done exactly same what's written in the book.

Nowhere he has tried to change that. On the other side, most of the storyline is developed differently than the original, that too runs smoothly. Full marks to the writing department. Its the strongest point always, in Hirani's movies. 3 Idiots belongs to both-Raju and Abhijat. Its always tough to visualize the books. And with 3 Idiots, one thing is for sure - Vidhu Vinod Chopra is THE guy who can do that. 

One thing Raju has mastered is his art of mixing humour with emotions. [I know it is said a thousand time]. There is never a dull moment in the movie. Yet it makes you cry at so many places. In certain scenes, it makes you so happy that your tears of happiness starts flowing. Performance wise, the movie is flawless. Each and every actor is in their best form. Even the smallest cameos are so good. Everything is said about Aamir till now for each of his movie. I fear I need to learn other languages to praise him more and more day by day. Sharman and Madhvan are perfect. The RDB magic comes alive again with the three 'idiots'. Kareena Kapoor charms you as Medical student & daughter of Viru Sahastrabudhdhe - Head of the college. A surprising performance comes in form of Chatur - played by Omi. He's a bookworm who can go at any length to make his marks top the list.

Music is really well integrated. Just loved picturisation of Zoobi Doobi and Behti Hawa sa... which features spectacular cinematography [Muraleedharan C.K.]. Shimla has never looked so beautiful and so is the picturesque Ladakh. Everything is so vibrant and colorful.
I wont go much blah blah now. Will stop here and shout - 'Go For it !!!' . You can't afford to miss the most entertaining movie of the year............and oh, don't forget to get shocked at Superb 'Kahani Mein Twist' at Intermission.

Ok, lastly something reminded me. Its in the air that This is not best of Aamir, blah blah. But hey, when has he promised that? Here its the promise of Raju Hirani - to deliver a full on 'MOVIE' to entertain us. And it DOES, and how !!
