Together, they make life miserable for "Virus," the school’s uptight and heartless dean. But when Rancho catches the eye of the dean's daughter, Virus… From TMDB

positive · AI labelView post →It’s kind of an Indian cinema cliché, I’ve learned, but Lagaan (Hindi) 📽️ made a huge splash on the world cinema scene when it came out. The film 3 Idiots is a comedy, also starring Aamir Khan, that I think should be seen, but others in DesiWatch disagree that it’s a must.
neutral · AI labelView post →but here we go. firstly: 3 Idiots. only the greatest movie ever made, and def the one where young men are prob fucking. the plot is “two college friends reunite to find third friend” but it is SO much more than that, brilliantly written & acted, hilarious, sent many tourists to Lakadh. I adore it.

When I pointed him out, the waitress asked “How do you know that?!?!” and then I started pointing out the ones on the wall for Sholay and 3 Idiots 📽️. She forgot the name of the film, but he’s a coolie? In a comedy?

neutral · AI labelView post →Nice '3 Idiots' is a bit of a silly but fun movie, even if Hirani's love of twists at the end brings a conclusion that is the opposite of what he has been preaching throughout the story.

neutral · AI labelView post →It's a great movie. I've seen it a couple of times. There's a pizza place around here that makes 3 Idiots pizza: garlic chicken, BBQ chicken, and spicy chicken. Not as spicy as I'd like, but what can you do?
positive · AI labelView post →It reminds me to a Bollywood movie titled 3 Idiots, when a guy point out to the girl tht her bf doesn't care bout her at all, instead he's just buying her expensive things to show off his own pride. The guy prove it by unknowingly stealing the girl's watch & told the bf tht she lost it.

neutral · AI labelView post →I have not, but I’m looking it up now and seeing it’s directed by the same man who did 3 Idiots, a film I watched recently. I’ll be checking it out for sure!
neutral · AI labelView post →I think I caught that on my second or third watch. I think after MKDNH, 3 Idiots is next best intro to Indian movies. The music is feels well integrated into the movie (and all the songs are amazing), it's story is relatable and it translates very well for Westeners getting into Indian movies
