3 Idiots – India (2009)
3 Idiots is the Indian equivalent of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off in terms of storyline and comedy (although there is no principal or headmaster in any movie who will probably live up to Rooney). The movie starts where two of the three idiots are thinking back to their days at engineering school. They have a friend, the third idiot, who went to engineering school because of his father’s wishes, but really wanted to pursue photography. From his first appearance in school, he smart mouths the teachers and challenges every little thing they challenge him on, making the other students think in a new way.
This movie plays on the idea that I’ve seen in a lot of
Bollywood movies where the modern generation is challenging the older generations
on career aspirations and other personal values. And this one does it in a way
that will keep you laughing for two hours.
Plus, there is a very catchy song, “Aal Izz Well,” and the
whistling in it will be stuck in your head for days.
