Though some sequences were predictable and has become trade mark of a Rajkumar Hirani movie, all these can be ignored because of the laugh riot we will have.
Anyway, to be honest, I had tears of laughter in my eyes while watching this movie and had to work hard to control the noise coming out of my laughter because my son was sleeping in the next room. Thanks to the makers of this movie to strart this New Year with a lot of laughter. I have never laughed so much since the Munnabhais.
This movie has created history in collection but I would still rate it below the two Munnabhai movies.
In fact, this movie has similarities to the MBBS movie. There is a comic strict Principal who has to learn his lesson. The hero falls in love with the principal's daughter. The principal keeps missing the target every time he tries to wrong the hero. The comic sidekicks of Munnabai are converted into co-students here. The 'Jadoo Ki Jhappi' has become 'All Izz Well'. Like Munnabhai awakens the brain dead Anand Bhai, Rancho makes the new born cry and kick like Jet-Li with 'All Izz Well'.
Again, to be honest, all these came and vanished from my mind when I watched the movie as the next scene would have made me laugh my stomach out.
Aamir had limited scope to showcase his acting talent but he was great. Kareena was just there and has nothing significant to do. Bomman Irani is brilliant as usual. Madhavan and Sharman also did their role well. The fourth Idiot, Omi Vaidya was also very good.
The movie has a good message. Its the creative freedom that is not 'freely' available for the youth of India. Like Ranchod says, We make students who make great grades but we lack in researchers and inventors. Its a very healthy dig at our education system.
I'd rather not elaborate on the plot any more as it has to be watched with fresh pair of eyes to get the most out of it.
Just go and watch the movie with a sole movtive to laugh. You will be more than satisfied.
PS: Be prepared to see Aamir and Madavan as Engineering college students.

I hated your review posts...
They look out of place.. The ones in which you presented interesting and conflicting and confusing reads are more exciting....
