Exactly what I thought reading some of the negative/so-so reviews the film has got. It seemed like they've woken up late to Hirani's ways of ramming a sugary feel-good message down the audience's throat.Quote:

But there's a sense of relaxed atmosphere in the film that was so fresh and was something a wider range of urban audience could connect to in some sense. And of course, beyond all that, I think it's a very well written film.Quote:

For that matter, I think even Cheran is more resourceful than what many people allege him to be. I detect there's a sense of anxiety with respect to his looks in such criticisms.
I've very often found that people's complaints about Cheran's acting invariably fall on "how bad he looks" in certain scenes, song/fight sequences or "how loudly he cries" etc. (Why, I've even heard quite a few people jeer at him because he gets thrashed by V. Natarajan in the film!) So, I'm wary of critics when they say Cheran should stick to direction etc.
equa, to be fair, Cheran didnt endear himself with attempts such as mAyakaNNAdi.
As a director, Cheran is equally culpable of hamemring his message in, sometimes without the comic diversion that Hirani provides.
But surely, that's not what he did in most of the other films he acted in? (Even here, you've to concede that the idea, however poorly executed it might have been, was not to simply parade himself in designer clothes throughout the film without any semblance of connection to what the film is about.) How many actors are out there who can play his roles in a 'solla maRandha kadhai' or 'pirivOm sandhippOm' without hijacking the film? His limitations as an actor are fairly obvious, but he has been competent in these kind of roles.Quote:

I don't remember when I laughed this hard. I have laughed enough for the rest of the year.
'They missed the point' is the most polite way to put it.
They got everything wrong. Every thing.
That was another era. ippO reverse-la sirikkarAnga on 'our' remakes of 'their' films.Quote:

LOL @ Dayavan. Now there is a film that was just spectacularly stupid on so many levels.

2. Songs... rAmA! Basically, kareena kapoor is a sappa pigar. And, they trying to make fun of their own Bolly stuff was :headbang:
3. Characterisation.. sollanumA ennA? Typical is the word. What did they change from MBMBBS?
4. Won't the Bollywood style of making the entire movie in a studio, shifing to a colorful landscape for the climax after a brief travel and make a trolly shot to roll credits end at all?
5. It was funny okay, but I can't laugh again. And above all, the balAtkAr scene is not classic and all.. FB-la ellAm kosu tholla thAnga mudiyala

It was general. Just oppose my 1st point alone, I'll accept you win. I don't mean to bring this in favour of Bolly vs. Kolly battle simply because I know people here can only make kadi college films. But, 3I was not classic and all.. its not RDB level, atleast... Come on. And for godsake don't tell me Aamir Khan is the second best actor here.Quote:

"3 Idiots" பார்த்துவிட்டேன்.
கதையும், சொல்லப்பட்ட விதமும் ரொம்பக் கவர்ந்தது.
மூத்த மாணவர் இறந்து போனதை ஒரு குட்டி helicopter படம் பிடிப்பதாக சொல்லும் திரைக்கதை சூப்பர். அதுபோல, Javed Jaffrey பாத்திரச் செருகலும் அருமை.
"Silencer" - சிரிச்சி மாளவில்லை.
"Rancho" பாத்திரம் முதல் மதிப்பெண்கள் எடுக்கும் மாணவராக காட்டாமல், இயல்பாக ஒரு Average மாணவனாக காட்டியிருந்தால் இன்னும் இயல்புத்தன்மை கூடியிருக்கும். செயல்முறை ஞானம் அதிகம் இருக்கும் நிறைய மாணவர்கள் தேர்வுகள், மதிப்பெண்கள் என வரும்போது சாதிக்கத் தவறுவதை பெரும்பாலான இடங்களில் காண்கிறோம். அதுபோலவே Ranchoயும் காட்டியிருக்கலாம்.
மேற்கத்திய படங்களில் காணப்பட்டாலும், இதுவரை இந்திய சினிமாவில் காட்டாத பிரசவ நிகழ்ச்சியை அரங்கேற்றி வைத்திருக்கிறார்கள் என நினைக்கிறேன். நல்லத் தொடக்கம்.
Muraleetharana ஒளிப்பதிவு, Shantanu Moitra இசை அருமை.
"Give Me Some Sunshine" முதல் முறை கேட்டபோதே பிடித்து போனது.
கல்லூரிக் கதை என்றாலே, மாணவர்களை குழுக்களாக பிரித்தும், அவர்களுக்குள்ளே சண்டைகளை உருவாக்கி, காதலை மையப்படுத்தியே படம் எடுக்கும் இந்தியத் இயக்குனர்களுக்கு மத்தியில் Rajkumar Hirani வானவில்லாக தென்படுகிறார்.
Rajkumar Hirani, இதேப் பார்வையில் நீங்கள் எத்தனைப் படங்கள் எடுத்தாலும் எல்லாமே கவனத்திற்குரியதாக இருக்கும் என நினைக்கிறேன்.
Boman Irani , Aamir Khan , R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi என எல்லோருக்கும் ஒரு ஓ!
