I saw 3 idiots over a week ago but maybe the fact it bagged 6 Awards at the Filmfare Awards last night finally prompted me to stop procrastinating & write this!
I'm not sure why I resisted watching the film for so long, despite being invited by my friends to go see the film on more than one occasion. Maybe I was irked that actors in their thirties & forties were playing engineering students. But it could be some other reason.
Well, what can I say? Most people have already seen it.
There were scenes that made me guffaw (Like Silencer's now famous speech! I was just one step away from literally rolling on the floor!
But there were also emotional scenes that made me cry!
In short, I don't remember when I last saw a film that made me laugh & cry!
This mix of genres was handled rather well, according to me.
And now, about the famous suicide controversy-
Yes I know they they show one student committing suicide & another attempting it. But it's not like they've glorified or glamorized it it any way. Obviously the students who committed suicide in real life were already suicidal, & this just was the final push.
If there really were kids who actually were 'inspired' to commit suicide after watching this film, I would have to say that they were in serious need of help. How could nobody have seen the warning signs? I know it must have been painful for the parents to have their kids take their own life, but to blame a film-maker for it is very irresponsible, not to mention extremely stupid thing to do.
My rating- 4 stars ★★★★ (Out of 5)
My overall verdict- If you haven't seen it yet, go right now!
