To be fair, there are a few entertaining moments and the performances for the most part aren't that bad. But what an awful script. Melodramatic clichés galore, terrible humor, simplistic messages, one-dimensional characters. Even the songs aren't that great. It's as if someone copied the absolute worst Hollywood has to offer. Much of the film resembles REAL GENIUS, from the unflappable, infallible hero to the evil professor and the suck-up rival. And that's not a movie you want to aspire to.

After you get along with the fact that the movie is from Bolywood and includes about 1 hour of Indian singing, it's actually quite interesting. I still can't handle their enforced display of emotions and ignorance of certain very obvious themes, but otherwise the movie's quite a far flick from the Holywood comedies. While the story's not really anything new and will not make you laugh a lot, it's quite amusing.

The movie is a little idealist but it hits the right notes. It is a typical Indian movie with the whole gauntlet thrown in - comedy, drama, romance and obviously the song and dance sequences :P You need to be brain dead not to have laughed your guts out at least in a couple of scenes, if not more. Definitely worth a watch.

I HATE musicals, but I enjoy the rest of the movie .

Only finished watching half this film, with a version missing 2/3rds of the subtitles. And read the wiki page. Good enough. The acting was well done, and the musical bits were fun and energetic. But the film doesn't know what it wants to be. It features 3 bumbling students with hearts of gold loving life while playing pranks on their iron-fisted professor. A proff who drives 2.5 people to suicide, and would better fit as one of the darkest villains in a tense thriller. Too long, poor sequencing.

Has a lot of heart and genuinely hilarious and heartwarming moments, but overall there are too many clichés and too few sparks of originality.

You're pulled along by a great tear-jerkin' buddy story with fantastic characters all around, meet a few snags of Bollywood cheese, and realize you just watched a pretty fearsome unschooling movie.

Amazzzing

can be considered as a follow-up to Taare Zameen Par - but taking place in grown up world - but not a worthy followup - more dramatic, more star/aamirkhan centered, unnecessary songs - enjoyable but could have been shorter - not a film that you would miss watching

Very entertaining pretty much reminds me of my child life.

Excellent Bollywood flick about the stress of university and the power of friendship.

Yet another movie that could have been so much better than what it is. The story of the movie has great potential but took a nose dive half way through turning towards the cliched melodrama of Indian Cinema. The movie could have been shorter than what it is if certain unwanted drama dropped. Over all a decent entertainer, watchable once.

this is the best movie who relats the indian educational system.this movie show the young indian archievements in limited sources

Certainly I was not expecting anything like this. The movie started ok. I was expecting it to lose its grasp at some point since it has a long span but it got better and better. It both got me laughing and crying. Hard to come by such an entertainment in a movie of this genre and this length. All is well.

If you can look past the boring songs and the plot of an average bollywood movie...you could enjoy it.

It's all about how to look on Indian's. If you like their dialogs, dances and other important things, it is just that into you. Otherwise just a long, boring and even couldn't smile its ridiculousness.

Son zamanlarda izledigim en iyi filmdi, Hindistan sinemasini daha iyi takip etmek gerek. Basindan sonuna kendini izleten 170 dk bir film boyle yapilir dedirtiyor.

Great movie!
