Pants down, palms up! Give a maximum of five to Rajkumar Hirani, the formula of entertainment with social messages cocktailing has given us Jaadu ki japphi and Gandhigiri in the past. Her last baby 3 Idiots is not exactly the film 'chamatkar' is as good as it looks. It's a frothy, feelgood, full of fun, once, to see the film that leaves you smiling, but doubtful that you want to walk back in the other view.

Loans Chetan Bhagat fragments only "five point someone" Hirani and co-writer Abhijat Joshi idiotgiri churn some delicious mixed with juvenile humor and moments of tears shed. The only problem is that the main message of the film were forged so many times that eventually begins to lose its strength.

Salt water is a good conductor of electricity. Everyone read it, but Rancho (Aamir Khan) applied up his "angry" to escape to get irregular in its first day of the Imperial College of Engineering.

A decision in Edison, he believes in the pursuit of excellence rather than success, which, in fact, is the central message of the film. But excellence can not have if you work hard to averages or fear or, worse, by mechanical means. So come in more than three characters - Farhan (Madhavan) who wants to be a wildlife photographer, but is doing engineering to respect the dream of his father, Raju (Sharman Joshi), a poor boy who was so afraid of failure that fear has become a self fulfilling prophecy, and Chatur (Omi), which is a learning machine expert in assaults on books.

On top of these is the ever-grinning professor Sahastrabuddhe Viru (Boman Irani), fondly called Virus, saying that the world is a rat race where you have to intervene in another to reach the top. No wonder the ingenious Ranch is a rare bird in the flock. Your questions perplexed teachers. And his contempt for the education system that professes rote learning makes the archenemy of the virus. Sandwiched between the two enemies is Dr. Virus daughter Pia (Kareena Kapoor) who falls for Rancho but has to cope with their eccentric pa at home. Hirani and Joshi to take this basic story, it spins on its head, and turn it into a story of a search for Farhan and Raju for their loss Rancho friend who disappeared after the head of the university.

Writer duo packs a bit of humor and make fine drama, but too much in some places. For example, the call Chatur speech in which he replaces "Chamatkar the word" Balatkar 'is a gag stretched too long. And much ass exposing and fall of the trousers. And the script also takes a longer route through a funeral and a wedding, both are not essential to the plot. Despite these weaknesses,''3 Idiots makes a nice watch, thanks to the bonhomie painted on the screen by Aamir, Madhavan and Sharman. Rancho Aamir is a rebound, the restless genius with a heart of gold.

The actor of 44 years of age, almost posing as a schoolboy of 22 years of age, which in its capacity as the buoyancy of youth and vivacity actors his age just can not. Madhavan and Sharman offer broad support from the flanks, but a word of praise should be reserved for Sharman, who shines equally in the dramatic scenes and fun. Kareena, unfortunately, has been relegated to a corner, but makes its presence felt in some sequences it enacted, Boman Irani but that comes with the best performance in conjunction with his brilliant portrayal of an eccentric professor. His jaw jutted, frowned, his ungainly gait, his speech faltered, Irani is every bit as vile and violent virus that is supposed to be.

Shantanu Moitra Muralidharan music and cinematography complement the movie as well. Rajkumar Hirani spins a yarn that despite some failures has his heart in the right place. For this alone, '3 idiots' should definitely be seen and enjoyed.
