Year's last blockbuster "3-Idiots" has already hit the theatres today. And after seeing the film I can easily say that the Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, is not away from making his hat trick. From last two years he is been releasing his films on 25th of December religiously. Two years back Aamir's "Tare Zamin Par" created a history. Again last year he recreated the same magic with "Ghazini", which also rocked on the box-office. This year, this Indian Santa brings "3-Idiots" for his fans.

The film is directed by Raj Kumar Hirani of "Munnabhai" fame. "3-Idiots" was promoted as based on Chetan Bhagat's "5 point someone". But the story has hardly any resemblance, except the backdrop of the engineering college. The film stars Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Mona Singh and Boman Irani. The venture has been produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra.

I want to throw some light on the story. The story revolves around Ranchoddas Shaymaldas Chajaad played by Aamir Khan who leaves college all of a sudden. The flick starts with Farhan (R. Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman Joshi) beginning a journey in search of their lost friend Ranchoddas aka Rancho.

The movie proceeds through narrations that take you into the flashback when Rancho, Farhan and Raju arrive at a premier engineering institute to begin their course. They were best of the friends. Rancho's mantra was 'I'll Do It On my Terms'. This mantra always inspired all three friends.

Raju Rastogi and Farhan Qureshi remembered Rancho's romantic relationship with Pia (Kareena Kapoor). Pia is the daughter of their college professor Mr. Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani). They wondered about the disappearance of Rancho from the midst of the course without informing them.

Farhan, Raju are trying to locate him through their journey of Shimla, Manali, Ladakh etc. What happens to their quest and if they were able to find out the whereabouts of Rancho, is revealed in the later part of the flick. And, I am not going to reveal that.

Now, coming to the performances, nothing is enough to describe Aamir Khan's performance. He is a true genius. Once again he has proved himself. He is a true perfectionist. Madhavan is a great actor and his natural acting style makes him different from the other biggies. Sharman has proved himself by his brilliant performance in the flick. Raju Hirani's favorite Boman Irani is undoubtedly superb.

Well, we must mention Kareena Kapoor in the film. She has given her best in the film. She is a director's actor. Her outstanding performance in the film surprises everybody. She has revived "Geet" of "Jab We Met" in the film. This is Mona Singh's debut film. Her acting capability is not hidden from anyone. She is still remembered as "Jassi". But she should have gone for a better role for her debut. Her role is limited but she has marked her screen presence.

Music by Shantanu Moitra is pretty good. Audience has experienced a new fragrance of music. Over all it is a fun film and a good Christmas gift for all cinema lovers.
