  • 3Idiota – the film century say
    Movies century – films that rank illuminate global problems of the country, humanity, etc.
    There are global problems of India: 2/3 of the illiterate population of the planet in India, 1, 28 billion of India’s population, of which 8 million below the poverty line
    Violence against women.
    And cramming – it’s not such a big problem, and how to know the problem of cramming Aamir Khan, even if he did not finish school.
    But to take this issue to make popular among young people use for this natural interest in this age of everything that is related to sexuality. Vulgar scenes of initiation into the students, toilet humor, display a poster of the structure of women’s bodies, making childbirth – showed all that other actors would be ashamed to do …
      Footage from the film with spermatozoa. “Look Who’s Talking” (Eng. Look Who’s Talking) – movie, filmed in 1989, directed by Amy Heckerling. Starring John Travolta, Kirstie
         If you remove all of the obscene film, served as “a terrific sense of humor Aamir Khan,” the youth of the film will not go !!! Most decent about this humor can say – this is an American humor-pants fell -Funny fell, exposing something – to laugh hiccups.
        Adult from business (all judgments about the quality of the film-what did the cashier), critics do not understand that young people in 2-3 years will come into the community, and will behave like his idol – can conflict with the law, to pay off the money and live well, you can and the need to dissemble, to expose and to insult his former friends for moments of glory, etc.
           I think that the film 3Idiota – harmful to young people, the shame of India. In the wake of   3 Idiots Aamir Khan glory continues in the country, which is famous for its spirituality and traditions…

  • @suchit,ha ha so what ,KING KHAN also has that invaluable padmashri.all the national awards fixed just like amir won padma bhushan,saif won padmashri,and him tum got national awards instead of SWADES are the few examples of our dumb so called national awards.only FILMFARE is totally fare and that’s why it’s called mother of all Indian award.that only legends like DILLIPJI,BIGB,KING SRK got not any alien actors pk,lol.he has one award worthy film that is tzp ,rest of his wannabe classics are highly overrated that made for some of dumb Indian audiences like you,so enjoy.even France government also awarded their civilian awards to LATAJI,BIGB,KING KHAN while our crapiest national jury’s are busy in delivering those cheapest awards to low class actors like amir/saif,lol.

    @gj007,certain TRUTHS will pierce into heart.same happened with you,do I can understand your problem.

  • Both are equally good in their way but 3 Idiots was slightly ahead due to youthful theme n no controversaries !!!!!!!!

  • @sss : So according to you people who watched PK n make it to 300 crs are not grown ups n they need your advise now to what to watch or what not ?? If MNIK was more appealing than 3 Idiots & PK it wud have certainly done well. Though MNIK was not bad either but not upto level of 3 Idiots & PK !!!!!!!!!

  • @Raysa

    SSS khan has a new company in form of Raysa. 2 lunatics writing unintentionally hilarious comments! Too much fun :-D :-D

  • @ Zeeshan: Appreciate your submission – “Message in MNIK should have been depicted well”. Meaning you yourself did not understand the message. There was no message in that movie.

    Did any one of us agree that Krish 3 & Kites had social message. Not at all. Than why you are bringing them for discussion here. When people don’t have specific answer to my question they talk all stuff like this.

    @ SSS: Aamir Khan is far better actor than SRK. His acting proves it and the collections of his movies proves it. He is King. Don’t compare SRK with him. Was a MNIK classic, it is another big joke. It’s message was not spreading humanity or all religions are equal. There was no scene of such kind. Don’t bluff. It was all about proving that his name does not mean that he was terrorist.

    Do you have any other answers…search for it…

    @gj007: Yes i know SSS. He is blindfold fan of SRK. He will never change. But i am expecting him to defend SRK by answering to my question. Which he will not able to do…

  • Its a tough choice. Very tough.

    I agree with @gj001 for most part.

    However, one thing that stood out in PK was how we influence or how others influence our thoughts.

    I liked that message the best. How it was implanted in Jaggu that all Pakis are bad and they only cheat. If not for that, she would have dialled or checked about him.

    We take such messages from others and make an impression about people and things we personally never experienced, and try to connect anything wrong with that person or thing to that message. Like, i told you so.

    People in all relgion are successful, people in all religion struggle, people in all relgiion work – The common thing here is not religion. It is the people. People are the same everywhere, but we just want to be different and show that we are superior and religion is one of the tool being used (or rather misused) to prove it.

    I vote for PK.

  • PK was an interesting film and kept me engaged for whole time.It made me laughed loudly several times.But the 2nd half was not upto mark.An unnecessary love for jaggo by Pk,the defeat of Tappasvi was not very convincing.Just a little prediction went wrong does not mean that he is deceiving people.For me it is must one time watch movie.For me RDB still remains my fav movie of Amir followed by FANAA and 3idiots.

  • @Raysa,Truth at it’s peak,well said but our db country’s undeveloped bhojpuri lover peoples never gonna understand the fact,lol.

    @karthik,that’s why I said 1st watch MNIK clearly with out throwing stones into the darkness.the character RIZWAN KHAN unintentionally build up a target in HIS mind to meet with president and to say him HE is not a terrorist but during the journey HE spreaded the humanity which might dumbs like you couldn’t understood,for which I’m feeling sad.but let me ask something which amir/raju’s movie has logic.a student becomes overnight with out studying a bit in 3i or a alien entering into earth and changing the society in pk or a roadside tapori becomes a doctor doing manipulation and cured patient in coma like in munna bhai.the flaws has no limit is those film.still those are called CLASSIC????how an illogical movie could be a classic?no doubt those are entertaining but saying those as classic itself creates classic movie’s insult,lol.I know you’re keeping your brain inside home and watching amir movies in theatre that doesn’t mean everyone should do that.so tell me which KING KHAN’S classic movies —-JTHJ/ MNIK/SWADES/CDI has flawas?kindly answer my question you can,lol.BTW in kwk(koffe with karan),once a question asked to BIGB to choose BEST actor among 3 khans—-HE with out thinking took the name of KING KHAN.so BIGB is more intelligent than you as well as.me.so according to him and at least majority of peoples KING KHAN is far better than amir in terms of acting,lol.so don’t give up one day and say whatever you think.

    @hrithik,I agree with you .the answer to your question is simple 3i/pk has far more entertainment than MNIK.which is the reason why they collected more. In an interview—-KING KHAN said about the business of films,Bollywood films not even nationalized completely because whatever our highest collected movie pk collected 300cr domestic which approximately watched by 20% of total population of India.so doing 100cr more that doesn’t mean those movies doesn’t like by whole India while 50% of peoples also not even watched it in theatre.if the story is entertaining the movie goers themselves goes more than once so that a movie got huge collection.so in no way you can compare a movie based upon collection only.in that perspect SWADES is better classic than all amir’s leading starrer wannabe illogical classics.so this what’s the reality.think about it.

    PS:I’m saying truths instead of biasing towards someone only supports THE BEST.

  • @sss

    Get lost to France you loser! Bashing Indian jury because they haven’t given any award to srk? I was neutral about him till now, but thanks to losers like you, rasya, triniman I am starting to hate him! Get lost from India if you have so much problems here!

  • Forgot to add another loser called Asad Khan. Who even went ahead and posted a spam review of PK on IMDB! Bunch of losers!

  • without any doubt 3 Idiots is way better than PK… I dont know how Pk earned this much… PK comes no where to Munna bhai series & 3 idiots

  • @sss : JTHJ had lot of flaws. 2 accidents, triangle including Jesus n Srk defusing bomb at a subway station wearing civilian clothes. Even Swades n MNIK had few flaws. So according to you Ra.One & Don2 were not entertaining thats why they failed to touch even 130 crs despite festive releases. Now dont term these as classics as it will be a shame for word ‘Classic’ itself !!!!!!!!!

  • @hrithik,ha ha …..tell anything more you can.what’s wrong in JTHJ ? 2 accidents happened naturally.I can’t get what triangle you’re talking about?when the two English bomb diffusing squad were in confusion how to defuse the bomb at that time SAMAR told unknowingly he is the captain of Indian squad ,as the English squad had no other option they allowed SAMAR to diffuse the bomb even with out any uniform in order to avoid the dangerous situation.if you could have use your mind then you might not ask this silly questions.anyway I loved to clarify those misconception of peoples like you which made you hatred about those best movies with out any reason.

    Which flaws you watched in SWADES and MNIK?kindly tell otherwise how I could get that?I have big doubt whether you watched those movies or not because regular masla movie watchers can’t withstand these LEGEND movies which generally doesn’t contain any huge entertainment.so bro kindly don’t tell randomly about those movies flaws which that movies doesn’t contain at all.

    Yeah absolutely Ra One is not at all a highly entertaining movie.the 1st half is OK up to some extent but 2nd half has nothing with out TRAIN SCENE,chammak challo song,some random comedy and not so exciting climax.but due to this failure to entertain audience in huge number .THAT put a NEGATIVE impact on DON2 .which was a really a nice movie has superb start to climax scenes and till now the best action movie of India suffers due to negativity and due to not containing any great songs like it’s 1st installment.now hope you got your answer.similarly worst film of 2012 bodyguard benefited due to positivity of ready and some good songs.

    What you called DON2 is classless?rip your logic,thinking and everything.it’s the best classic action movie of India till date with out a bit flaw.about Ra One yes it’s not a pue classic but it is more classier than all sallu’s bhojpuri movies.

    About collection I’m not so much disappointed because both DON2(231CR) and RA ONE (241CR) beater body guard in worldwide which can’t touch 230 mark and did 229cr,lol.

  • @Gauravv aka gj007.. Awesome reply to idiotic loons like @sss and @Raysa..these losers along with @Asad Khan, @Dynamic and @Romu Old year need to be given middle finger salute for the crap they heap here..

    @B Vignesh looks like you were high on weed..Aamir Sir won the national award for Raakh in 1990..

  • @sss : Domestic verdict matters. If you have doubts ask Indicine. I think you should JTHJ again, Srk tells his name n designation after defusing bomb not before it. Go n watch it again. No one is perfect whether Aamir or Srk all are humans, stop enforcing others to accept your super natural dreaming powers of srk !!!!!!!!!

  • 3 Idiots was ok. PK is a foolish movie made just to earn money. Raj Kumar Hirani has realized that any foolish movie with a few jokes and Aamir Khan can make a lot of money as well as earn the critic’s appreciation.
    PK has a very weak story with so many flaws. Scenes have been placed together to make a short subject into a long movie.

    * Movie begins with Amitabh’s poem recital. It has nothing to do with the movie.
    You want a scene to make 2 lovers meet. Lovers who should break up and not meet till the end of the movie. ANSWER: Lets make one of them Pakistani.
    Where do they meet if they are not from the same country. ANSWER: Exotic foreign location
    How do they meet? ANSWER: They call the same cab and fight who called it first. Too cliche. Lets make them buy the same ticket for a concert and fight who bought it first.
    How do they fall in love if one of them buys the ticket. In the car scene, the driver would have told them to share since they want to go to the same place. ANSWER: They don’t have money for the ticket, so someone else gets the ticket and they fall in love and sing a song.

    * Lovers should separate. ANSWER: A mysterious letter is delivered by a kid.
    What about the misunderstanding? ANSWER: The girl holds something that belongs to someone else and the postman thinks it is for the girl.
    There is no heart in it. ANSWER: Lets make the postman a ‘KID’ and lets make the something a ‘CAT’
    Will not the girl know that it is someone else’s letter? ANSWER: Don’t put the name of the receiver nor the name of the sender in the letter.

    * How does the girl meet PK? ANSWER: The girl becomes a journalist.
    She looks more like a model than a journalist. ANSWER: Giver her the Barkha Dutt wig.
    Why is she interested in PK? ANSWER: She has no good stories for her news channel.
    We see people like PK every day. ANSWER: Make him wear a yellow helmet.
    TV News scenes are boring. ANSWER: Put the news reader with coat on top but shorts below.
    Isn’t that too cliche? ANSWER: Lets change the shorts to track pants. Not cliche anymore.

    * We need some funny scenes. Audience should laugh. ANSWER: Everyone. Go through last years emails and send me all the funny jokes you have received. 1. Pictures – Flip flops locked with a bicycle lock (PK is a thief anyways, so he could have stolen some other shoes at the temple like the other man suggests…why lock his). 2. Kids – Why do humans wear clothes when animals don’t 3. Title PK – widely used for jokes for Prahlat Keshav Atre – PK Atre 4. Cartoons – Remove the turban, Sikh becomes christian. Shave the moustache, he becomes Muslim. Shave the beard, he becomes Hindu. Shave the head, he comes Buddhist. 5. Steal from the blind beggar. 6. Pee on the street, you will get an full paid night stay at the local police lockup.
    And the list goes on.

    * What about our other actors from Munnabhai series and 3 Idiots. ANSWER: 1. Boman Irani – He could play the news channel boss. Too little scenes, so lets add scenes where he is laughing watching the news and another scene where he laughs watching news and one more scene where he laughs watching news. 2. SUNJAY DUTT – PK nees a brother figure. Why? Don’t ask me. Munnabhai had Circuit, Rancho/Phunsuk had the 2 idiots, so PK needs one too. Also, we can kill him later. We need someone to die to make the story more emotional towards the end.

    * Protagonist needs a purpose. ANSWER: He loses his locket.
    What’s the significance? ANSWER: He cannot go back to his planet without the locket. He is stuck on earth.
    Another planet, why? ANSWER: If the protagonist is from this planet, he has to belong to some religion. Too risky.

    * PK will look like ET or Jaadu. ANSWER: No, he will look human
    So he wont look alien? ANSWER: We will add big ears
    What’s the significance? ANSWER: Don’t know so won’t say.

    * How can he land in India. It is too crowded. Everyone will be watching. ANSWER: He will land in a desert in Rajasthan.

    * There are no news channels in Rajasthan. ANSWER: The thief who steals the locket will sell it in Delhi. So PK will move to Delhi.

    * How does he get the name PK? ANSWER: People ask him if he is drunk
    You mean, PK aaye ho kya? But why would that sound like his name? ANSWER: We will change the dialog to ‘PK ho kya?’
    But that does not make any sense. ANSWER: Audience are stupid. This is poetic freedom.

    * Who helps the protagonist? ANSWER: Remember, we had created this journalist (thanks to the wig)
    Why is she interested? ANSWER: She is a journalist. For TRPs.

    * What triggers PK’s love story? ANSWER: He sees the journalist’s picture.
    But he sees her daily and even lives with her. ANSWER: Doesn’t matter. Audience like it when someone falls in love with the picture.

    * Another comedy scene is need. ANSWER: What is this? A condom. Who’s condom is this? Everyone denies… You see, people love condom jokes.
    But PK got his GK from a prostitute, so he should know about a condom. ANSWER: The prostitute was in Scene 3. This is Scene 13. Audience don’t remember the prostitute anymore. Remember, we put these funny scenes and 2 songs.

    * Whats the whole point of the movie? ANSWER: Don’t be too impatient. The actual story will begin after the INTERVAL.

    * How did you get the story idea? ANSWER: Did not have any idea. Was watching Munnabhai 2 and saw this scene where the godman controls the antagonist’s life.
    And you made that into a 2.5 hour movie ANSWER: 10 comedy scenes that has no relevance to the movie (remember the internet jokes) – 30 minutes, 4-6 songs (Sonu Nigam should be fine) – 15 minutes, Love scenes (again no relevance to the movie – these days smooch and live-in is mandatory) – 15 minutes, kill a few to evoke audience emotions – 5 minutes, random people repeat the catch phrase of the movie ‘WRONG NUMBER’ – 10 minutes, add a drunk scene – 5 minutes, scene after climax (lets get RK) – 5 minutes. This itself covers almost 1.5 hours. Remaining could be the actual story of the movie.

    * What about the climax? How does PK win against the godman? ANSWER: Remember, the love story in the beginning. This is where we use it.
    But that is the journalist’s love story? ANSWER: Don’t worry. We had made the guy Muslim. That resolves our problem. Remember, the misunderstanding because of the letter.
    Wouldn’t the audience mind? ANSWER: No. We will also show that everyone working in the Pakistan embassy has been waiting for all these years (if not months) for the journalist to call the guy in the embassy. So everyone in Pakistan cares. The Indian audience will care too.
    Really? That is not even convincing? ANSWER: We will have everyone cry during the scene. The girl, the girl’s dad, the girl’s mom, PK, the girl’s friend, the girl’s boss, the cameraman, the news audience, everyone.
    Now you made me cry too ANSWER: See I told you. That always works.

    * You never told me the girl’s name. ANSWER: Jaggu
    Huh, why jaggu? ANSWER: Don’t know, so don’t ask.
    Why didnt u tell me earlier ANSWER: I didnt want you to start thinking Jackie Shroff as the journalist

    * Why would Tapasvi Maharaj buy the locket from the thief? What is the power in the locket. ANSWER: It shines
    Really? That is the only reason why? ANSWER: Yes, it shines

    * I think I will love this movie. ANSWER- I told you this is a complete logical movie.

  • I saw both 3 Idiots and PK . Both are really good movie. But they are different from each other. Aamir is really good actor.
