3 IDIOTS is not about idiots or nincompoops. It’s about three engineering students who believe in ‘I’ll Do It On my Terms’ and that’s what the three characters achieve in life and that’s what Hirani, Chopra, Aamir eventually achieve at the end of the movie. Making a movie on their terms! [Full Review]

Rajkumar Hirani serves you idealism but with utmost conviction. He is able to establish a compelling connect with his audience, qualifying himself as one of the finest filmmakers of his time. Who else can turn something as trivial as pudina chatni into a price indicator? The film redefines idiot as ‘I do it on my own terms’. [Full Review]

3 Idiots is a happy film with a positive message. But you never feel for or root for its characters. Releasing in the festive season, this film will deliver truckloads of laughter, but might not satisfy the expectations of watching an Aamir Khan-Rajkumar Hirani film. It’s just another feel good, time pass watch. [Full Review]

3 Idiots is like the two Chopras – the intellectual filmmaker and his box office focused personality. In the midst of all the promising, sometimes highly entertaining and well written segments in the film, there are so many ‘I cannot believe this’ moments. [Full Review]

The flick picks the pace at the out-set and covers the whole thing a movie should have i.e. comedy, story, timing, twist, drama, social message, reality check and a fine conclusion.
Aamir (AK) has managed to prove again that he could do both comedy & serious role at silk ease. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi, of course eclipsed due to AK, but have added the needed punch & flavor into the movie & the script. Boman Irani has mastered his ironical & sadist delivery capability hence no surprise there. About Kareena - well she is looking as young and fresh as ever. Sure, gorgeous too. Notmuch role to her but she has managed to put her mark too in this beautiful movie of 2009 i.e. 3 Idiots (3i's).
So, I am happy to rate 3i's as one of the Top Movie for 2009. A perfect 5 on 5 should be my rating.
3 Cheers for Aamir Khan and his 3 success in a row...
