"3" Idiots

‘3 Idiots’ is a good movie; in fact a smart movie.

This movie is an attempt to relate to the mind set of current middle income group and literate class.

This class have been busy in the pursuit of achieving and reaching the higher strata of the society. Houses are bought; movies costing some Rs. 250 are seen because the Middle class can afford it now.

Academic prowess and economic freedom has taken our country to a different level for first time since independence.

Please rest assured Mr. Khan, your movie is being appreciated but do not the attempt to preach. We are no welfare state; as for the middle class, academic is the ticket to economic freedom.

Certain classes or communities, that have faced problems in achieving academic prowess since times immemorial, will take your attempt as self liberating.

Good comedy, excellent actors and current burning issue with excellent marketing are wrapped and bundled up for people to wake up at 6.30 in the morning with chai and biscuits. Sheer brilliance, Mr. Khan!

Take the core from Ayn Rand, indulge in system bashing, drape it with Archie, Reggie, Veronica scenario and there, you have a blockbuster!

We can do with more 3Is, and there is nothing wrong in making a smart movie backed by excellent marketing.
