Never mind the disappointment that 2009 has been thus far, the action is all set to begin as we enter the last week of the year and await 3 huge mega budget releases from the biggest Khan’s in the industry.
Its Aamir Khan’s turn first with 3 Idiots directed by Rajkumar Hirani. The expectations are high, but the good news is, those who have watched it, have loved it. Kajol Devgan, who was the first choice for the role that eventually went to Kareena was all praises for the film on twitter “Just came back from 3 Idiots!!! Laughed till death… cried till death!! In one word- MASTERPIECE. Want to work with Aamir Once Again.”
Come January, its time for Veer with Salman Khan. The promos have created enough buzz, the music is pretty good and Salman along with Anil Sharma promise a classic that will be watched for years to come. The film though, looks the riskiest of the lot with high costs and the fact that costume drama’s never really carry the craze of a masala actioner like Wanted or Ghajini. Veer’s opening isn’t expected to be earth shattering and a lot would depend on the quality of content and word of mouth. It could go either way, disaster or masterpiece!
Shahrukh Khan returns to the big screen in February with My Name Is Khan, a film that is expected to break every single box office record overseas. Business here in India too is expected to be very good. More on My Name is Khan HERE and HERE
Our Picks (off the 3)
- Best Film – 3 Idiots
- Biggest Opener both India and Overseas – My Name Is Khan
- Biggest Hit – 3 Idiots
- Best Performance Male – Aamir Khan / Salman Khan
- Best Performance Female – Kajol

WANTED has earned approx. Rs. 64.7 crore NET excluding tax It is 2009’s biggest hit so far with approx Rs. 37 crore distribution share and second superhit of 2009.The film was one of the biggest hit of 2009. Surprisingly more than 70% of its business came from single screens rather than multiplexes. It was released on the same day as Dil Bole Hadippa. However, Salman Khan’s stardom didn’t let people go watch Hadippa.
Worldwide, Wanted had excellent opening. It shattered records in Pakistan. It has grossed over 7 lakhs in Pakistan first weekend, which is a record for any Indian film
AJAB PREM K GAJAB KAHANI

Review 3 Idiots:

When Sharman and Aamir’s chemistry is back after great success of Rang De Basanti
When R Madhuan joined them again after rangde Basanti
When bebo is opposite Aamir first time in her 10 year career
When Boman Irani is back as a college professor after Munna Bhai MBBS and Main Hoo Naa
When Vidhu Vinodh and Rajkumar Hirani are back after blockbuster success of Munna Bhai series.
Do u have any excuse to stay at home ?
Just dress up get your violet and get auto , taxi , kick your bike or start your car and reach your nearest cinema
Story:
Amir khan, Sharman Joshi and R. Madhuan are engineering students. Aamir’s thinking about study are different then others and he tries to guide every one in different and positive way. He thinks that if u don’t like any subject or any profession then don’t do it and just think what your heart wants to be .Bhoman Irani is college director and he hates Aamir due to his different thoughts. After study Aamir left every thing and went away and no one knows that where did u go and what was the reasons.after 10 years Sharman and Madhuan goes to find him.
Story line is very good and different then other movies. You can compare it with Munna Bhai MBBS. Aamir’s role is same like Sanjay Dut’s role even Bhoman’s role is also same as his role in Munna Bhai MBBS. Even we can compare a lots of other scenes with Munna Bhai MBBS, but this is not a negavite point. Every movie has resemblance with other movies.
Scenes which have worth:
1.Aamir’s first entry in the movie. He looked very fresh and just 22,23 years old student.
2.Wedding scene when Aamir meets Kareena 1st time and he says her that she shouldnt get marry with her fiancée.
3. A student Chattur’s speech on college function, it was really funny.
4. Hospital scenes when Sharman was admited in hospital
5. Sharman’s interview for job
6. Madhuan’s convincing his father that he want to be wild life photographer
7. Interval point is really shocked and you will surprised that what is going on?
8. Mona Singh’s Delevery scene is also very good executed especially when Aamir invent the light
Performances:
3 Idiot is really Aamir Khan show. After Rang De Basanti he is back again in a young and comic role and this type of roles really suite on him and this time he is 2 step ahead as compare his performance Rang De Basanti.
Sharman Joshi and R Madhuan are also superb and they did their career best performances. Both proved that they are also good actors and they just need good banners and good movies then they can proof their self.
Kareena is ok in her role. She appears after 40 min and she doesn’t have enough screne appearance
Boman Iranai was in his career best performance.
Music:
Music is good but not like Aamir’s previous some releases.
Behki hawa is fantastic song comes in title. This song has three positive points. 1 song is very good melodious 2nd lyrics is mind blowing and this song should get best lyrics awardand location is also very beautiful. After this song you will want to go that areas .
Zoobi Doobi is good dancing song. Dance is old style but accoding to situation it is perfect.
Give me sunshine is also good
All is well is just ok
Direction:
Rajkumar Hirani has proved his self in Munna Bhai series and now after 3 years he is back with Vidhu Vinod Chopra and their chemistry is also fantastic like Munna Bhai series. It is finest combination in comic movies after Vashu Bhaghnani and David Dhawan. He managed script very sensitively and especially 2nd half is absolutely genius the way he creat the subject which makes very different to other movies. Javed Jafery’s entrée at interval was shocked and suspense and he create the suspence and he carried the subject very carefully.
Negative Point:
Very difficult to find. But , I can mention that romance between is Aamir and Kareen was not enough even there was no love story or chemistry between them and kareen’s screne appearance was not enough.
A scene when examiner was not accepting their paper then Aamir mixed his paper with all other papers which were laying on the table is copied by a funny English clip which we normally have in our mobile phones.
Overall 3 idiots is finest movie of 2009 Aamir’s star power , best movie of the year and Christmas release are crump cards of it , it will get huge opening and it has potential to sustain in next 3 weeks.
My Rating
4 /5
Very gud review Nauman..:) Indicine will give it 4.5-5/5 then…;) As always aamir rocks……:) He s d real Santa claus for Bollywood every X-mas….;)
guys with 3 Idiots cinema showed Trailer of Rajniti as well
trailer is fantastic especially ranbir Kapoor looks very mature and decent at this time , Katz is also rocks as sonia gandhi
movie gonna release on 28 may 2010. i dont know why they show this trailer now , u hv 5 more months to go and i think promotion should start 2 or 2.5 months before.
indicine:
tell me did indian cinemas showed trailer of Rajniti….
i think in india didnt start
indicine :
did u like my review of 3 idiots ?
Thx Amish for ur compliment.
when i watched it i was thinking to give it 4.5 but then i relised 2,3 negative points then i dicided to give it 4 even u can give in 4.5 as well because those negative points are not a big issue .
dont worry amish next yr inshallah akki will be santa claus for tees maar khan
Nauman,a very good review indeed I must say ,good that no spoilers been given away.In general ,I am
finding the reviews ranging from 2-2.5 to 4.5-5,one critical point being talked about is
1.There are a number of unreal situations in the movie
2.The characters are very simplistic,specially that of Rancho,no grey shades.
3.The 2nd half is too overbearing in terms of emotions and the pace is too slow
4.The movie fails to live up to Munnabhai series.
Could you clarify these points in your review please?
awsm comment n analysis by nauman………….
really v nice…………………
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm……
ab to kal hi jana padega movie dekhne…………..
@Nauman..Very good review.Actually I can associate this movie with my engineering days.N good thing is all of my x-classmates are planning to watch it together in the cinema.The way u have explained aamir,I can relate atleast 5 guys like him in my class.Really looking 4wd to 3idiots.Aamir Khan rockzz.
Kanishka:
did u see movie ?
if yes then where coz i dont think so any one in india has seen it yet in paid preview shows.
i dont know which unreal situations u r talking abt, if u think that ragging scene then i never lived in hostels but i know that ragging is must in every single hostel but i dont know that they hv to take off their all clothes eccept underware. and i starting when aamir invent a current for his seniour it is true it happened and i know because i hv also done my architectural engg and i had physics subject .
entry in the wedding of Mona singh it is also real, it can happen
javed jafferi’s entry at interval and creation of great suspence is also real it also can happen
stealing the exam paper cant digest may be it looks like un real
sharman’s suicide , his interview , madhuan’s discussion with his father every thing look real
Mona’s delevery was also great executed and aamir’s invention of electricity all these things are great
so just let me know which situation u think or ur other reviewers think is not real .
some times some movies need slow pace so 3 Idiot was one of them
compair with munna bhai mbbs , i do understand even i felt same that theme was munna bhai mbbs and treatment was also looks same.
if charactors are simple then tell me it is negative point or positive point?
and which reviewer gave it 2 or 2.5 star ???
Hina:
u r not only one who did engineering , i was also student of architectural engg , i started my engg in 2000 and i had to quit it in 2003 when i was in 3rd yr due to death of my father . i m elder one in my home so i have a lots of responsibilties of my family on my shoulders.
i also remembered my college life and we were 4 boys in our group and same situations and same subjects same style of classes . i really enjoyed all college scenes of this movie.
even one of our friends was same like aamir , he always thought some thing diffrent and he tried to do some thing unique.
u will realy like aamir in 3 idiots.
Nauman,I haven’t seen the movie ,that’s why I am asking.I have gone through a number of reviews,
and they have been mixed.eg-Rediff has given the movie 2 stars .Some other siteshave also been negative towards the movie.The points i mentioned are beingdiscussed as the cons of this movie.
@ Kanishka– dont just go by d reviews yaar… watch it n decide….;0
By d way wat s d rating from our super reviewer– Rajeev Masand…;)
3 idiots gets 5 out of 5 stars from toi.most of them gave it 4-4.5 stars.only two negative reviews 2,2.5 stars n both r from rediff.i think its a publicity stuns for redif.n u can expect 2.5-3 stars from masand cause it is not hollywood film like hangover.but the avg rating of the film is 4.recently no other film get so positive reviews like 3i. Some r saying one of the best film of this decade…..:-)
Btw numan good review.just one request, next time try to avoid spoilers.don’t ask me wat spoilers-not in review but in a commend about ur review.don’t want to highlight it….:-|
Indicine when u will put ur review? I guess after dhobighat release…..:-)
