And best of all, the film never takes itself too seriously, even indulging in a spot of subliminal self deprecation once in a while. Check out the scene where Kareena flees from her wedding to go look for Rancho and halfway down she’s told by Raju that they have no idea if Rancho’s married or not. Some people have been counting the clichés in the movie; I wonder how many of them noticed how they have been smartly refreshed to retain their entertainment value without being tacky.
The three lead actors do a stupendous job, Aamir confounding us again with his brilliance making it look too easy for a forty something to portray a twenty something while Madhavan is effortless as the ‘photographer’s soul trapped in an engineering student’s body’ and Sharman Joshi brings in equal measure of carefree abandon and world weariness to Raju Rastogi. But special credit is deserved by Omi Vaidya who plays the geeky Chatur with aplomb (his comic scenes are surely the most hilarious) and establishes himself as the de facto 4th idiot. Boman Irani, of course, adds another memorable character to the annals of Hindi cinema with his pitch perfect portrayal of ‘Virus’ – the close to anal retentive director at the college.
It is a film that will endear itself to you with playfulness in its heart and a message of introspection in its soul. Hirani and the rest of the team put in a lot of ‘heart work’ in the project and it shines through in the result which is sublime.
When a film’s lines take only half a week to become part of conversations nationwide, there is no denying its impact. And, since it is that rare and exceptional outlier with a near perfect meter, TSI can't help but award the movie an unprecedented 11 stars out of 10!
