The ‘All Is Well’ song in Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots showed Rancho (played by Aamir Khan) trying to fix a helicopter like device – which ultimately records the suicide of a classmate in its maiden flight.

The whole of the week gone by has had the trade people talk about just one thing – whether Shah Rukh Khan’s My Name Is Khan is a hit or a flop and whether its box-office collections have been bigger than those of Aamir Khan’s 3 Idiots.

Actually, not so surprisingly.
