Delivery with vacuum Cleaner.....and this movie has 8.0?


???

deserves less than 7.5

reply

I must admit, that (ridiculously stupid) part of the movie almost ruined the entire film. ALMOST!

Luckily the rest of the film is brilliant.

FYI vacuum assisted deliveries are real..... Its called "Ventouse". C'mon at least know before you bash something

Most over-rated movie of Indian cinema...obviously made for dumb masses...!!!
Aamir Khan has again duped the audience after his ridiculous Ghajini.
You can't handle the truth...!!!

reply

Though I agree that Ghajini had some serious faults, I didn't think that 3 Idiots was over-rated at all. Don't you think that you are being unfair to the movie and is overly criticizing it. The movie I watched did not match the comment you posted.

I personally loved the movie. I don't know if me watching a subbed version of it dramatically changes the circumstances but I really liked the movie. I thought it had some really good points, and thoughts that a person could hold on to. 3 idiots was the first bollywood movie that I watched and paid attention to from start to finish. It made me laugh, I made me cry, sometimes both at the same time. I am not an Indian and the movie made me really really interested in the other movies India has to offer.

P.S. I am a scholar from a very prestigious school in my country. My entire school loves it. We love Aamir Khan, and I watched it four times over the weekend, nonstop.

I hope you realize the truth.

"Aal izz Well!!!"

dude...seriously...The child kicks on hearing aal izz well and you cal this a good movie ....c'mon.
I'm not saying it's a bad movie. All i'm saying is it is an out and out commercial movie and should not be appreciated in a critical way. It is entertaining but 8.2 is seriously too much for a movie that has as many flaws as this movie

reply

No one has yet explained to me why the vacuum cleaner scene is considered "stupid" and "ridiculous"

Why don't you just ask an engineer to deliver a baby using a vacuum cleaner and mark your own observations.

reply

First off rancho is portrayed not as a regular engineer but as a genius on many levels; second off every movie has its miracles and the baby delivery's success is by no means unbelievable

i am sorry if my sense of belief doesn't manage to get any closer to yours.

That's your argument, that really is a lame comeback you know!

Think about it & think how that can be used against every single film. Not.

Wrong. You argument is the lame one.

There was nothing wrong in what he said, his argument were perfectly logical.

Tip: Use your brain.

when hulk jumps from 70 story building no buddy says it's ridiculous ?

reply

That's because it makes sense in the context of the movie world that this character exists.

reply

I agree to what you said, my sister has been bugging me to watch it but I was a little worried that it is a stupid movie. It turned out to be a movie for intelligent people who are in touch with the realities of life, there are really genius people, mediocre people and those that are plain lucy :) The movie tried to cover a lot of bases. It is true that talent and skill is important but at the end of the day it all boils down to who you know and the relation ships you make along the way. The narrative was impeccable, entertaining and touching. I can't help but love all the characters even the guy from Uganda :) This is the kind of movie that you will ask friends to watch, and you just know that it is impossible that they will say it is horrble. This is the kind of movie that I will watch over and over again :)

Your P.S. ruined all credibility. Now I believe you are in someway connected to this film. Whether as a runner, or soundmixer who knows. But you cannot even attempt to convince anyone that you saw this film four times in a row, nonstop.

This film was fine it held my interest for the most part. The song and dance was a bit unnecessary since the lyrics added nothing that the dialogue did not already explain. But to compare this alongside other films even the low ranking films below 3 idiots such as In the Mood for Love, Papillon, Incendies, and even Jurassic Park seems absurd. People can always rebut and say this is simply my opinion and it might just be but I sincerely doubt this film will ever be mentioned in any cinematic discussion, or classroom.

This is just another example of people overloading these Indian films with perfect ratings. I just cannot understand why anyone would care enough to go make a bunch of accounts (or pay people) to drag this films up the 250. The criteria for the top 250 should seriously be revisited because this is getting out of control. I understand a high ranking will increase the views, but so does making a quality film.

This film has had 45.0% of voters giving it a perfect score, Like Stars on Earth (another Aamir Khan film)has 47.1% of voters rating it a 10. If we compare this to film classics such as Citizen Kane 35.9%, and Casablanca 37.5%, or even modern fanboy favorites such as Inception 43.2%, and Toy Story 3 30.9% we begin to see a trend.

I understand the sample is small and I will likely waste my own time digging deeper but I am tired of going into these forums to read straight lies when we should be sharing thoughts.

Oh... and it totally deserves more than 8.0...

The delivery scene is really not that bad... Movie was awesome...

"Aal izz Well"

reply

But as far as we can see, YOU certainly can handle it, right? The most famous movie critic or producer or director or...who are you? oh, I guess no one anyhow important to pay attention to ...I just wonder why some people cannot accept that there are different people with different tastes and with different brains...and I believe you haven't been a student under pressure if any at all, so you just watch the movie and see people moving and talking, whereas this is a movie with A MESSAGE to the society to bring changes to the educational system. But surely, "THE SMARTS" like you prefer to ignore it and continue living under the heels of the rules...

reply

WOW!! REALLY!! OMG!!! I NEVER knew that!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INFORMING ME!!

Don't be so condecending. Of course I've heard of Ventouse deliveries. But just because the technique exists, it doesn't stop that entire scene from being any less ridiculous.

reply

lol! I'm sure you didn't know that or must have just looked it up. And it does not make the movie ridiculous, it just makes YOU ignorant...

reply

WOW!! REALLY!! OMG!!! I NEVER knew that!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR INFORMING ME!!

Just would like to point out your condescending way of commenting right before you became a hypocrite.

And may I ask you a question? What on earth would you have done if you were in that situation? if you had the knowledge that Rancho had? Would you let the poor woman die? If it were me I would be on my deathbed regretting that I hadn't done what I could have.

Everything will be only what you believe it is.

reply

ok, PLEASE ENLIGHTEN US, o guru: why is the vacuum scene ridiculous?

You are so busted, everyone can see you just googled that! Don't be so obvious next time!

It's a comedy.

reply

right said. just enjoy the movie

reply

So one scene makes it deserve less than 7.5? Good logic there.

reply

this movie is better than any boy gets the girl type bollywood movie.its not the best film ever yes,but better than most bollywood films with crappy plots and ridiculous dancing


Haha. True.

The vacuum cleaner part had a humourous undertone to it. In fact every serious scene, except for the suicide scene, had humour in it:

1. The scene where they visit Hari's poor family.
2. When Aamir and Kareena drive Hari's paralysed father to hospital.
3. A paralysed Hari imagines his father riding a scooter.
4. And when Farhan hugs Hari and says, "Man kiya ki use apna sala bana loon," then looks at his sister's photo, "phir maine apni emotions ko control kiya."

reply

its supposed to show the genius of Rancho, and remember he did modify the vacuum cleaner.

and the others are right, once scene and that suddenly demotes the film? a bit unfair..

Sadly I think the context of this movie, the idea of pressure-filled education, etc...throwing away potential success for passion...it really is lost on a huge portion of the population.

This movie was tons of fun...I've known the space pencil and anonymous exam submission jokes for decades, but this is the first time I've seen them realized on the big screen.


Everybody likes the Shen.

After reading an account of a German doctor in Russian prison camps who had to improvise practically everything, I don't find this so unbelievable.

Did you even care to read what you yourself wrote...german DOCTOR.....DOCTOR

This movie became crap to me right after the dead child kicks his legs after hearing some BS phrase. Okay, not a crappy movie considering all the good things about it, but I wont give a rating of more than 7 for this flick.

reply

oh yes, sucking out a baby from mothers womb....and when it lies dead, after what like more than 30 seconds the baby kicks....listening to all is well...*claps*

in a more emotional and realistic scenario...they could have let the baby die, there are lots of babies that die when there are complications and not proper doctors around...and medical conditions. Rancho's efforts could still have been appreciated...its just that to make HAPPY CHEESY ending and portraying rancho as a god it was done.

A crap cinematic liberty such as this can spoil a movie and pull it down to 7.5 from 8.0+..but guess some fans are too biased to accept it.
