3 Idiots (2009)
While attending one of India's premier colleges, miserable engineering students and best friends Rancho (Aamir Khan), Farhan (Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi) struggle to beat their school's draconian system, which, in their eyes, unfairly values grades over creativity.

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.

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.

At first I thought it was really fun then it seriously turned out to be the most didactic movie ever made. Maybe it could be a good educational movie for children at school. Yet it has nothing to offer for real movie buffs. Also I thought Rancho was gay.

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.

This movie is idiotic, the plot is awful, predictable and very very childish, but pretends to be serious sometimes... it's very annoying don't waste your time. I subtracted some additional points for the NASA's pen thing; get your facts right idiots.

This was not bad at all. Only a couple of songs, which were entertaining, and a pretty engaging overarching plot with punchy scenes and good cinematography. It's long and full of cliches and some of the humour is a bit juvenile, but it was entertaining and well meaning.

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

Has the distinction of being the most overrated film on the IMDB. Decent film, but nothing that sets it apart from an average film. Also why were 40 year-olds in college, and what was so great about reinventing a helicopter with 4 propellers.

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

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.

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

A totally unfunny and annoying movie. And it's nearly 3 hours long to boot.

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.

Off beat comedy with a wonderful message. Three idiots are attending school but one of them is extraordinary in almost every way. It was fun to watch the silly antics and see the clever ways the plot turns. Most of this is very unpredictable and some of it is hilarious. About half is subtitled, and it is sometimes hard to follow, but well worth watching.

Way too long. Switches tones in an instant. Is periodically funny. I would have thrown something if I heard "all iz wel" one more time.

Started off stupid and by the end became great. My wife thinks this is one of the best films she has ever seen.

Started out like a film you think fits the title, but then changes to something really meaningful and good. What a surprise!

Excellent story! Fun characters! Dramatic and comedic, with some musical elements here and there. Kept me entertained the entire 3 hours.
