Audience Reviews

Ahnaf Tech On the canvas of student life, the movie 3 Idiots paints an inspiring picture that invokes a spectrum of feelings in the viewers' minds starting from humor to happiness and sorrow. It strikes a perfect balance of smart wits and realism in the dialogues. Although most of the movie plays on the themes of hilarious satire, it tugs at the heartstrings when it does not shy away from incorporating the grim fates some hapless students are inevitably faced with. Anyone who has had any form of formal education can easily relate to the plot and stay mesmerized throughout the screening of the film, drawing correlations involving teacher-student, parent-student and student-student relationships as well as getting fascinated by the distinct dynamics such relationships contain within them.All-in-all, a must-watch masterpiece intended for viewing of all age-ranges. Behold, the canvas of student life in the form of a feature-film, its colors shaded by the vicissitudes of it. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/24 Full Review Diandra Nada Z I think that the show was good, with comedy, thriller, and slice of life as its main genres. It touches upon some sensitive topics like the pressure from the education system existing in India's universities and showcases how that pressure can result in many negative outcomes.But despite that, the story overall is very inspirational, and not all sad. The main character, an engineering student, Rancho, is a guy that breaks the expectations of a lot of people by how out-of-the-box his thinking is. His two friends, also engineering students, Farhan and Raju become friends with him due to his fun nature.The story's timeline is a mix of flashbacks and the present. Where Farhan and Raju drive around the country in an attempt to find their old friend whose whereabouts were almost unknown, while they reminisce about their good old memories from back in their college days. I won't say anymore because spoilers of anything else would make it less enjoyable to watch.There are some sensitive topics and scenes in the film like suicide, and depression, so it might not be suitable for everyone, including young children (the age rating is PG-13). But that aside, it's quite enjoyable, and is a movie that has the ability to resonate with the audience deeply due to its plot and genre, especially if they are going through a time similar to that with the characters in the movie (during college). I would recommend watching it if you haven't already.Now we also need to talk about the cinematography in this film. The beautiful landscapes of India were recorded and shown in a way that is easy on the eyes, and really add a touch of emotion and serenity into the storytelling.I believe that the moral of the story is that, at the end of the day, education is without a doubt very important, but we can learn new things anytime, from new, different and unexpected places or maybe people, and not just from school or university, and that knowledge cannot be limited to just maths, science, etc, but other things like photography too. The message is heartwarming, touching and very motivational. Profound life lessons showcased with humour, in an unforgettable journey. It's a good watch. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/24 Full Review TNT B Phim hay, đáng xem cho sinh viên và học sinh, hài và cảm động.👍☺️ Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Farah R I get the appeal of the film's success as one of the best India ever made, but I found 3 Idiots a little too silly for its deeply philosophical message. Its lengthy runtime could've easily been reduced had the many unnecessary funny scenes been trimmed. Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/24 Full Review Prasad S Well made copy of 1973 Hollywood hit The Paper Chase. People told me it is based on a book then the author copied transcribed the Paper Chase.Well acted movie but dishonest publicity of the movie is aggravating.

Critics Reviews

Namrata Joshi Outlook Raju Hirani continues with the overly moral tone that defined his previous films. But it does say something of his surefootedness and craft that you still listen to him and enjoy the many lessons he teaches you. Rated: 3/4 May 4, 2015 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express 3 Idiots was good in parts, but it didn't blow me away. Rated: 3/5 May 4, 2015 Full Review Anil Sinanan Time Out This quirky well-acted film proves, as the title track says, that generally 'all is well' with commercial Hindi cinema. Rated: 4/5 May 4, 2015 Full Review Sakhi Thirani Common Sense Media However, where 3 Idiots fails is in its blatant obsession over seriously problematic rape jokes that continually punctuate the film. Rated: 3/5 Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Nikhat Kazmi The Times of India Aamir Khan is stupendous as the rule-breaker Rancho. But the rest of the cast doesn't remain in the shadows. Rated: 5/5 May 4, 2015 Full Review Sudhish Kamath The Hindu Take your hankies along, wipe off those tears every now and then and smile. May 4, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews
