Sony provided the opportunity to have a second go at Three IDiots.
Three Idiots provides interesting insights into the working of the Indian system. But the flick trips on occasions and could have been further edited.
The sight of three characters (Aamir, Joshi and Maddy) atop a water tank with Qutab Minar in the background brought forth the Aamir's recent releases having Delhi link.From Rang de basanti to Fanaa, the shots were in places like Humayun tomb, Lodhi Garden and India Gate. In 3id the taxi he boards at imperial college has a fictitious number plate DL 2T C 2347. Because majority of taxis in Delhi have DL Y number plates. Well, the SUV that maddy drives from Delhi to Shimla has a proportionate number DL 3C BA 0778. But the route shown in the first part where water is flowing alongside the road stretch comes on the way to Manali and not on the Delhi-Shimla route.
When Farhan is seen arguing with his father on the career he should take, there is a tinge of Bihari accent in it. Probably to do with his stay in Jamshedpur where he did his schooling. "Ignore kar yaar" is his riposte to every challenge that comes his way.
The character of Virus who goes by rule book and is the most inflexible specie on earth has a strong resemblance to the man from south who has been nominated to Upper House and his strong urge to see the games don't succeed as his nomination didn't happen earlier. Virus had the knack to kick off unnecessary ruckus, thus giving the three ids enough elbowroom to create nuisance. Punctuated with these situations, the film strays a bit in the second half but recovers fast when the action shifts to Shimla. Chatur character has been overplayed and his idiosyncracies on West triggered dreams and moolah is a bit unrealistic. The price tag character played by fiancé of Kareena brings the twist in the tale.
Finally the man with 400 patents and locked in the climes of Ladakh are something one needs to ponder over. All in all a good attempt with few glitches here and there.
