The movie is about an aspiring actor from Delhi who comes to Mumbai for a career in acting. The movie shows what happens behind the scenes while making a movie in India. The direction and acting by every actor is top notch. It's fun to watch the reality inside the film industry and how one becomes an actor over here, if he's not the son of a former artist.

3 Idiots (2009): Could have been better

Posted by maneesh On July - 7 - 2010

Cast: Aamir Khan
R. Madhavan
Sharman Joshi
Kareena Kapoor
Boman Irani
Omi Vaidya
Parikshit Sahni
Javed Jaffrey

The movie is about three guys from a reputed engineering college. The movie is based on the novel Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat. Well, for me the novel was better than the movie. The movie has some comic scenes but the background score was over dramatic. Apart from this the movie is okay and I liked many scenes. You will have fun if you are an engineering college student.
