When Aal is Not Well!


What happens when a leading director casts a leading actor and actress in his next movie? The expectation soars! To cut it short, 3 idiots has a decent start, a dreary middle and a drag ending!

The characters are over the top especially that of Rancho and Virus. Mr Irani as Virus is at his petulant best, a typical case of a great talent in a miscast! Ms Kapoor doesn’t have much role, in fact couldn’t make out why she was there – to add glamour quotient? Mr Khan as Rancho does well but his character does have shades from his previous flicks like DCH, RDB etc. Its time for the entire “Khan”dan to move on and make way for the “Kapoor” clan!

I was let down by the movie and its director Mr Hirani who had come up with some outstanding works in the past! Why Mr Bhagat made such a hue and cry, the movie is just “inspired” by “Five Point Someone”! May be Mr Hirani will ensure that Mr Bhagat is duly credited next time while filming “2 States”!

Mr Hirani, all I can say is “Aal is not well that does not end well!” Waiting for more Munnabhai type series from you! In fact, the audience is the 4th idiot for making the movie a roaring success.

Do you disagree?

I do disagree - the movie was indeed an entertainer. More than anything, kudos to Aamir Khan for walking, talking and behaving like a college student. His demeanor was quite impressive. Of course, there were moments where the 'bollywood masala' did kick in but that's what makes bollywood movies different. Personally, I enjoyed the movie a lot.

Aamir was the only saving grace, else the movie would have flopped big time!

Hahaha!! Well written.

I have not seen the movie, so I dunno if you are right / wrong.

But that apart, you're writing itself is hilarious enough to become a movie snippet.
Hope someone buys the rights of this post (AND gives you full credit for it!).

i feel even omi vaidya did a great job. The entertainment in the first half was mostly because of his character

He has done a good job, but for a meaningless movie :)

I DO AGREE AND DISAGREE BECAUSE YOU AND ME HAVE SEEN THE MOVIE IN THE BOX OR IN A MULTIPLEX WITH A COMBO PACK OF BURGER AND COKE WORTH RS.150 AND WITH A DIARY AND PEN, WATCHING AND NOTING ALL THE DISGUSTING AND INTERESTING VISUALS. BUT THINK OF THE FRONTBENCHERS WHO SPEND ONLY 20 TO 30 RS FOR A MOVIE AND FOR THEM IT WAS SUPERB ENTERTAINER. SECONDLY, YOU HAVE TALKED ABOUT THE HUE AND CRY MADE BY MR. BHAGAT. DO YOU THINK HE IS A NOVELIST OF DHARAMVIR BHARTI, NIRMAL VERMA OR KAMLESHWAR'S CLASS OR HIS BOOK FALLS IN THE CATEGORY OF THE ALCHEMIST. HE IS AN AVERAGE WRITER OF SURENDER MOHAN PATHAK CLASS AND THE DRAMA CREATED BY HIM WAS NOT MORE THAN A PUBLICITY STUNT. AS FILM CRITIC YOUR APPROACH IS WELL HANDED AND A CRITIC MUST SEE AND WATCH LIKE THIS BUT FOR ME DURING MOVIE, THERE IS A COUPLET OF ALLAMMA IQBAL
"ACHHA HAI DIL KE PAAS RAHE PASBAAN AE AQAL, PAR KABHI KABHI ISE TANHA BHI CHHOD DE"
GOOD LUCK AND ALLAH HAFIZ

I presume you were one of the front benchers!
