(wrote it way back and forgot to post :))
So my friend wanted to catch a glimpse of Aamir Khan for real…and that’s how it all began…the last minute tickets…the crazy energy levels at work just waiting to leave…the mad rush to the theater…and the endless wait rushing from corner to corner to catch a glimpse…well we finally got a look and my friend almost swooned…well now that’s an exaggeration…she was superbly calm ;)
There is this genre of films which paint a picture perfect life…even the downs are better than the real life ups…and of course its happily ever after…and I shamelessly accept that I love such movies…I love spending those two hours in a dream world which has nothing whatsoever to do with reality…yeah it’s the ideal world, the utopia I want…the dream I live every waking moment of my life…
Rajkumar Hirani has done it with brilliance, once again…college days are especially happy days for almost all of us…reminds us what it was like to be young…hostels, seniors and ragging, exams and assignments, getting crazily drunk, giving it all up for friends, the pranks and crushes…you’ll love it all…supremely idealistic and unreal (after all how many are born Einstein…) but will nevertheless take you to that euphoric place where you will laugh and cry (just laugh actually) with the characters…even if for a moment the movie inspires to take you that leap towards your dream…
The best thing about this movie is the perfection…all characters are etched with brilliance down to the minutest details…it’s a pleasure to watch the chem lab experiment which did not blow up in our face and got us a straight A in school…that sums up the movie for me.
