Eight years ago we saw a movie Dil Chahta Hai which bought us an insight of new age cinema. A change in the way humour, relationships and emotions were dealt. Aamir Khan changed the way a hero's traits were percieved by his sheer ease to carry out challenging roles. He showed it yet again in 2005 with Rang De Basanti, the power to think different and then do what your heart says with full love and passion. We were mesmerized by his antics and before we can think he thought ahead of his time with yet another mind blowing concept in Taare Zameen Par!
During this period came another revolutinary man who dared to expose the life of medical students with his own style. Two years later came another film of Hrishikesh Mukherjee genre that spread the happy-go lucky air in the country in Lage Raho Munnabhai.
In 2009 comes 3 Idiots, a film that will make you think that please think the way you think! It sublty explains you the fact that, the answer to the world's most toughest problem lies in some simple question, no matter how tough is the problem. The combination of Raju Hirani and Aamir Khan has just not created a super-hit film, that will be marked as one of the biggests hits in the history of Indian film industry, but has also created a cultural revolution that will grab Indians and the country who dreams to be super power by 2020.
The film, through the characters of Sharman and Madhvan, who have certain clarity about the careers to be perceived but are submerged with pressure to be successful and be number one, and a 'everything is possible', Rancho Khan, who is more interested in following his heart, getting answers to what his innocent simple but rational brain asks, gifts India and millions of young Indians, a logical way of approaching life but with smile, love and fun rather than sticking to irrelevant orthodox, meaningless systems that yield nothing but generations of followers than creative thinkers!
I, a recently turned Idiot, grab this opportunity to salute the two Idiots mentioned above (Aamir and Raju Hirani) for their phenomenal contribution to Indian cinema and enlightening millions of Indians by not merely making a film, but spreading awareness in the process that will definitely help the country and it's people make their mark!
