Not sure this is the right way to go about the promos. I’m sure the film is a dark comedy of sorts so to promote it like an Akki comedy will actually dissuade a lot of people IMO. Aamir-Hirani spell class and that is what their audience expects.
This is just a lot of juvenile stuff happening, which by itself is okay. Except that a 44 year old Aamir in such a part doesn’t cut it at all. Also, my own belief is that Aamir is just not very natural with comedy.
BTW, I warmed up to the first promo quite a bit. That one actually gives me good vibes..it’s pretty funny overall. And whoever I know saw it loved it.
But all the same, an overdoes of this scatalogical humour is putting me off a bit.
Any idea why Hirani only wanted SRK or Aamir for this role? SRK had acepted it, which means he’s okay with playing a 22 year old too!
What is up with your top 2 stars! Is the script so good?
Sandy….you surely don’t think that Aamir wants to do an Akki comedy with Hirani This is all about script. Also, I beg to differ that this is an Akki sytle song. It’s basically bunch of college kids just going nuts after a tough day at school.
“dark comedy ” ?? Hirani will never have dark comedy in his movies. And comeon ..IMHO Aamir is looking younger than Maddy and Sharman – fresher than DCH days! (which was a decade ago). Sandy you are being over skeptical.
Are bunty all izz well…..
One thing Hirani has been telling in all his interviews again and again – this is NOT 5.some1 … I think people who are looking at the movie from the perspecive of it being adoption of that book…they are in for a disappointment.
Are bhaiyya all izz well…..
I somehow concur with Sandhya, I liked the first trailer a lot, but too much of toilet in this one.
I still won;t call it Akki humor, but it seems to me that its focused on college going youth, and they will like this.
And the content is very relevant in today’s world, so even their parents will lap it up.
And I will assume that its just one off song, a fun masti kinds.
Al in all, BO wise, its very very strong.
Why is Aamir always taking the center place when all the three friends are present in the same frame? Even in the scooter scene, Aamir took the center spot. INSECURITIES???
You know filmmakers have this misconception that scatalogical/toilet humour always evokes laughter. That’s not true, esp not with families. I think most would find it plain tasteless. It spoils a good film for me honestly.
Coming back to 3I, that first promo makes me believe this will be a huge entertainer, but this kind of stuff above is just making the film look trivial. I think they need to bring in some of the serious stuff. There is a lot of that in the film hopefully. Tht’s what I’m looking for. I do not want RDB – pre interval again.
I-D-I-O-T: I do believe the 2 Munnabhai’s were dark comedies. Yes, they were very entertaining, but they tackled serious issues.
“Why is Aamir always taking the center place when all the three friends are present in the same frame? Even in the scooter scene, Aamir took the center spot. INSECURITIES???”
Sandy…I believe that excpet for this song, there wouldn’t be any toilet humor in the movie. Though toilet humor done tastefully is really funny (Andaz Apna Apna Salman scene with Raveena when he has to repeatedly go the the bathroom).
“Why is Aamir always taking the center place when all the three friends are present in the same frame? Even in the scooter scene, Aamir took the center spot. INSECURITIES???”
One just has to watch RDB to see who is generous over what?! He certainly doesn’t mind sharing screen space with his comrades and like RDB this is evident in 3I! All 3 are supremely talented actors, and in some ways the underdogs of Bollywood (Sharman and Madhavan), then you have Aamir, who isn’t an “underdog” as such anymore, though his favourite onscreen persona from the likes of JJWS, RDB and LAGAAN have been that!
Song is Good, dont care much about how its picturized, Aamir has reached a stage where even if he puts crap on the plate, audiance will taste it once, to Hit hai bhai.
In that case the OSO promo’s made PHIR HERA PHERI look like a masterpiece What does all this REALLY achieve? Nothing! we all know the opening is going to be MASSIVE! We know this is Hirani and it’s Aamir….
Kunal’s right. That first promo of 3 Idiots really grows on you.
Akshay: I’m not sure one is looking for a massive grosser here – it could earn a lot. But I think primarily everyone – whether Aamir fans or not – would like to see a good film I would think.
He already proved his BO might with Ghajini. I mean no one has come anywhere close to that film yet. So now, he would need a prestige hit, no doubt about it. And Hirani IS the man. Look at Lago Raho.. he beautifully blends mass with class.
I think there are two parts to 3 Idiots – one where they are supposed to be in their 30s possibly. And another part which explores their student life. Right now, it is an eye sore to see the men act like 20 year old, which is why I seriously think the next few promos should bring in the mature stuff.
I said it before and say it again. If Akki did this then we would be calling it more cheese and puerile stuff, when Aamir does it we search for class even in the crass!!! If SRK did it, he would come for much more flak, the relevance of SRK posts 1-10 would be written (although that may have been a past phenomenon), and jokes made about him covered in foam among so many other guys or sharing a box with two other guys!
Maybe Hirani and VVC and the cast were still in the phase of SIK and Welcome working hugely with audiences when this film was planned. Aamir is always forced in humor, but he has a strong cast to support him so All May Be Well. But IMHO Munnabhai was not this puerile. It was more simplistic though, and I hope Hirani will show us simple and not simplistic in this one.
You must be pleased to see Aamir in the center in the rest of the shots.
Akshay Shah,
One just needs to watch Dil Chahta Hai to see how ungenerous he is!!!! He had atleast double or maybe even triple the screen time of Saif Ali Khan and Akshaye Khanna in the film which was actually supposed to be about three friends and their friendship.
Folks…all this talk about Aamir at the ‘center’ of everything is puzzling. No one said this when RDB released. As for DCH, Farhan narrated the movie to Aamir and gave him a choice. He obviousl picked the one which had the most screen time. If he had given the same choice to Saif or Akshay, they would have done the exact same thing.
IDIOT – thanks, I will do one just for you. And I will remember to add the news about the moon crater that was just named after SRK! But this is a post about Aamir and how he has single handedly changed the “quality” of Indian cinema. Still waiting to see how the “quality” of this promo (which is all we have) is evaluated against the crassness of say OSO or KI! Let the debates begin.
Thank god Aamir was wearing a towel while dancing.
If Aamir had attempted a comedy with a message in the end it would be a disaster.But we cant deny his multiplex prestige.
If the film is not a comedy it can be a hit.So we will have to wait for the film.
That was areply to Akshay Shah’s post who said Aamir was generous in RDB as he didn’t mind sharing screen space with unknown actors. So going by your logic, he didn’t direct RDB either. then why say Aamir is generous!!!!!!!!!
“Folks…all this talk about Aamir at the ‘center’ of everything is puzzling. No one said this when RDB released. As for DCH, Farhan narrated the movie to Aamir and gave him a choice.

Read what I said to Idiot in my above comment.
“Claufied…I don’t care if Aamir is in the middle, right or behind in taking a dump on of these shots. All I know is that the movie will be really good.”
It is CAULFIELD!!!! And I do care if an actor screams it loud that he is a method actor with all those changing hairstyles, I think he should have also understood no one takes the center seat in a good friendship!!!! Period.
Caulfield, my friend – Your barbs against Aamir do not make any sense and not relevant to the post about the promo. It is apparent that you have a personal grudge against the actor. The moment one loses objectivity his/her ability to do a good discussion ends.
RKS – Absolutely Bang on. This reminds of engineering / college days . The movie has already started building up and we all can see the anticipation by the number of comments each and every 3I post is drawing
As Doga said HIT hai bhai. The promo works for me too
I was expecting more from the trailors since this is aamir and Hirani…Neverthless trailors are not bad either…Just avg…But at this momnet avg stuff can gross 80 cr for a Aamir/SRK starrer…Thats their star status…
Only hope the movie is better than these trailors…If the movie is as avg as the trailors then i will be dissapointed…
“Caulfield, my friend – Your barbs against Aamir do not make any sense and not relevant to the post about the promo. It is apparent that you have a personal grudge against the actor. The moment one loses objectivity his/her ability to do a good discussion ends”
Which comment of mine made you think I have a personal grudge against Aamir? I repeat it is surprising that you guys aren’t noticing that Aamir is at center in almost all the frames. Or maybe you don’t want to notice it!!!!!!!
Why call the film 3 Idiots???? Call it AN IDIOT!!!
Akshay – I hope they represent the college hostel life well. I don’t think I remember much of what use to happen at college but hostel was fun with so many incidences(nude holi, Gaali competition between wings during load-shedding, almost no sleep during exams, night chai outings, playing cricket in aisle…).
Sadly this thread has become a oneupmanship between Aamir fans and others.
Caulfield, if this film did not star Aamir then it would not be sold for upward of 60 cr and come with huge expectations. So I think the director has made sure his BO draw is front and center. That and the promos tell us what the tone of the film will be. But then HIrani is NOT subtle, even though he is very effective. I see nothing wrong with having Aamir as the centerpiece of the triumvirate.
After watching the scene with Aamir, Sharman and Maddy inside the classroom, I realized that Aamir is indeed the tutor of Darsheel in TZP. He has got the mannerisms of a 8 year old perfectly.
I think the potty shots are required to show authentic college life. Plus I am sure they will also bring in the noble cause of highlighting the cheap bathing arrangements in colleges today in spite of heavy fees for facilities.
I am sure this promo is not an indication of how the film will be. The film MUST have something more. Because Hirani and Aamir SHOULD be relied upon to created something better than “3 stooges with mental devlopment of 8 year olds”.
What will it take for VVC to get a decent soundtrack going? Even that production house’s love stories like Kareeb and Parineeta had a snoozefest of a soundtrack. I can’t think of a VVC song I have liked except for “Tum se Mil Ke” (Parinda) and “Kuch Na Kaho” (1942)…
This promo was ok, but has a hangover from other college films; nothing new here.
Though what caulfield is talking about is more in the nature of framing of shots. It is hardly coincidental that Aamir is in the center of the three in EVERY shot (but one). That is simply not natural in a friendship between three people, but if Hirani chooses to frame his shots that way then that is how it is.
What I do not understand is how any of this has turned into Aamir and anti-Aamir. It is a mere discussion on a promo of a hugely awaited film. It is another thing that fans are generally less critical than the general public.
I loved songs of ‘1942 A love story’. Kareeb is the last good album of Anu Malik and even Mission Kashmir has some great numbers.
Its Hirani’s music sense that is reflected in this one. VVC always goes for slow melodious numbers. Hirani goes for very Indian tunes with massy touches, which fitted Munnabhai series perfectly. And the same shows in this.
Raju has overdone the toilet bit here … an entire toilet song! he surely wants to attract all akki and sallu fans who cant get enuf of corny jokes on pee, shit, nude bathing, cock scratching or ass scratching … they will love this!!! … and also all the gay fans of SRK (just look at the toilet-chemistry of these guyz!!!)
BUT there is more to this movie than these gimmicks … i sense a another 100 cr grosser for Aamir here!
By the way, this song has got everyone frenzied. Everyone around me is doing the elephant walk step (as seen at 1.05 in the song promo) singing “All izz Well, All Izz Well”. Buzz is as thick as bees swarming around someone who disturbed the honeycomb. This is a historic event to be witnessed once in a lifetime.
Hmmm why shouldnt Aamir take the center stage..after all VVC doesnt expect MAddy and Sharman to fetch him the numbers right. So all this is hogwash. Let any A lister step into this movie and i bet he would hv been made the centerstage.
SIGH! No one got it I guess. It is about framing every shot so one person is in the center of the group. If that person is on one side once in a while does it mean he is playing second fiddle?
Sandhya, I think you are reading too much in 40s stars playing college guys. I guess you are watching as a critic, which is ok, but this is not how I think audience watch movies. I think all audience care for is entertainment, and if the movie is entertaining enough, they will see it. DCH had no problems with Aamir playing college dude, neither 3 I will have any such problem. Audience dont even care about Aamir beating 20 people just by his 8 packs (Is it even possible to have 8 packs BTW?) neither do they care about Suri not being recognized by Taani. All they care about is if movie entertains them, and if they can feel for the characters. And my humble request to all reviewers will be to keep that in mind only.
I totally agree with Akshay and RKS that this song very much reminds me of my college days, though I was a day scholar, but this madhouse is veru much like what I heard and witnessed in hostels. From dancing on traffic signals, to actually begging just to buy a samosa, what all have we not done?
And I don’t even see a mid life crisis in actors trying to portray 20 year olds. What can we all not do to get back in time?
Liek they say, if I get my wasted days back, will I use them to get back on track? FUCK NO
3 I is actually growing on me, I still do not like this trailer much, not too copacetic, but I bet I will like the movie.
I think promos can prove to be very decpetive, so yes Kunal, I don;’t want to read too much into it.
But just to note, the comments here are getting very predictable. One can look at an avatar and guess what they’re going to say – that I feel totally takes away the charm out of a site. Displaying good faith is very important in a discussion.
In all this, some comments by certain members are of course par for the course, but I find CAULFIELD’s comments especially silly and unnecessarily restenful. Don’t think we need that sort of stuff. What do you mean about Aamir being ungenerous? He’s obvious the lead star – DCH got sold on his name! The makers would be foolish not to give him maximum screen time.
As for RDB – it was brave to give Siddharth the climax.
I personally would not even dignify such comments with a response. And am surprised some members did reply to this!
PS: Saw APKGK – lovely film, doesn’t evoke an emotional response but a great date movie nevertheless!
Kunal: Toilet humour I do not like and this song has too much of it I think. Forget the age factor. I think if this is the flashback, then Hirani might justify that to an extent.
I don’t think anyone doubts much that 3 Idiots would be a good film – this song is a very small snippet of a film that I believe runs deeper.
“One can look at an avatar and guess what they’re going to say – that I feel totally takes away the charm out of a site”
Are you talking about me? I wont change this gravator. What about your Surya Gravatar? Is having one star as gravatar makes the site more “charming” than having other star??
And even if you dont like toilet humor you cant stop it happening in engineeing colleges.
All izz well
“Raju has overdone the toilet bit here … an entire toilet song! he surely wants to attract all akki and sallu fans who cant get enuf of corny jokes on pee, shit, nude bathing, cock scratching or ass scratching … they will love this!!!”
Gorilla,Sv: Please leave Raka alone for 3 days… Its a monthly thing you know
IDIOT: Oops, I wasn’t talking about any one member. And certainly nothing to do with one’s choice of gravitar! Fans tend to be partial/anti, but nothing to prove that they can’t be sensible in what they say
“Thats not even a question, what should Aamir do then, play second fiddle to Sharman?”
Why should Sharman and Maddy play the second fiddle?????
What’s the name of the film??? 3 Idiots!!! Right?
So in the film none of the 3 idiots should play a second fiddle. So why have Aamir in the center and Sharman and Maddy play the second fiddle to Aamir!!!
But this is just a trailer. So Hirani might only be trying to promote his film well by keeping Aamir in the center in the trailer. I hope things aren’t the same in the actual film.
“So Caulfield, you seriously are expecting that Aamir wont be the main hero here?”
I was expecting all three friends to grab equal amount of attention whenever they are together. That’s all what friend ship is about. No one takes the center stage.
“Why dont you question than about the song sequence that only Aamir is having with Kareena.”
No. Why??? I don’t she is playing the role of Draupadi in the film!!!!
“Aamir plays the role of Rancho, a young free spirited man and ever confused about kissing. In the past, Aamir has performed roles of a college student in movies like Dil Chahta Hai, Rang De Basanti and now once again he would be seen playing the role of a college student in his film, 3 Idiots.
R Madhavan who has worked with Aamir in Rang De Basanti, will be seen playing the character of Farhan Qureshi, who willingly goes on the wrong path making him look like an idiot in the film. He said, “My name is Farhan Akhtar… Farhan Qureshi. This is my idiocracy. I love animals a lot and there is an adage in English ”Barking up the wrong tree”. So, I am like that always walking upon the wrong path with full enthusiasm.”
Thread ka direction bhaanp lete hain gravataar dekh kar!
This site is going down no doubt, fans are out of control. It might be better for us to move to another site that has fair, balanced, non-fan focused and unbiased discussions!!
From promos it looks like that this film will remind my engineering hostel days.I think that this movie can do 70-80 crore nett in india as raj also said if it is an average entertainer and it may collect upto 100 crore nett in india as ach(raka) said if it will a good entertainer movie.
Gorilla dear where r u ? r u really lost in jungle after KI and blue?
Yes I(d)I(o)T or IIT , we need some spicy comments of Gorilla and Katrina is on a roll AJAB stars with a bang and can hit bull’s eye for kat after newyork and also DDD looks like a winner for kat and akki so dear Gorilla come on start promoting DDD.
Now what’s so silly about my comment BTW? Not liking something in Aamir Khan is silly in your opinion?
My point was to explain to Akshay Shah that if Aamir wasn’t ungenerous in DCH as Farhan Akhtar directed it and Fahan gave Aamir more screen time, similarly you cannot call Aamir as generous to have given the climax to Siddhartha as he didn’t direct RDB either!!!!!!!
Sandhya, since you think my comments are silly, plz don’t bother reading them again. Thanks.
Coolp, you should clarify with Rohit about this.(I was going to tell you this before it happened).
I am not sure about this one, but if it was me i would have left it the way it was.
I personally have read similar things on NG over the time.(But as i said, let Rohit have the final call on this, i also want to know what the limits are, lol).
* ( For ultra interested people, RAKA’s comment was not aimed at any member).
wow .. anna makes me feel like a celebrity! Thanks!!!
Aside, the only reason Coolp cud find offense in my comment is becoz he/she is a blind fan of aamir or srk and takes it as a personal offence if one comments about 3I or SRK.
‘Gorilla dear where r u ? r u really lost in jungle after KI and blue?’
I am searching for economy’s recovery in the jungle. Nothing interesting came after Blue till Ajab Prem happenned and 3i’s promo rocked the wood out of few fans here.
BTW, i too am against editing comments. Surprisingly, the person whose comments have been edited did the same to me few weeks back. Now he is complaining. Yeh duniya badi goooooool haaai!
Let me also say that Hrithik is incapable of doing comedy films like 3 idiot. The last one he did was in Main Prem ki pareshani hoon. Man what a masterpiece. I wonder where are his fans now. Or is Raka the famous one who is back now with his usual antics. Man this guy has been after Aamir, Akshay and Ranbir for long. He needs a break, though not as long as what Hrithik is taking.
I am eagerly waiting for the magnum opus International 120Cr budgeted sex comedy – KITES. Just hope that Rocket Singh does not cut the Kite on his way to the top. Ohhhh…i just… just about gave the reason for the diatribe. Ab hoga Raaka ka inteqaam. Reminds me of chacha chowdhary days. Where is Saabu? Chaacha chowdhary needs him!
As expected akshay fans are here to support this brilliant trailer … but then wherever there is crassness either Akshay or his fans will show up … no surprises here.
now that everything has flopped for akshay, the fan is after hrithik and kites … aare itna curiousity hai toh ja ke deklo movie … kites is already available in redtube.
‘Nasseruddin Shah says in KARMA…”kone kone main chuppe huye hai salle”!
He also said – Phata poster niklaa hero!
BTW two great things happened in India in last 2 days –
Sachin’s masterpiece innings and Amitabh’s Paa look. Anybody who saw that are bowing their heads in appreciation. What they are showing is masterpiece performance. We are simply awestruck.
“”"Sachin’s masterpiece innings and Amitabh’s Paa look. Anybody who saw that are bowing their heads in appreciation. What they are showing is masterpiece performance. We are simply awestruck”"”
Yes..Indeed..Grerats will always make their presence felt in between to remind us who they really are…
BTW, this promo has really gone OTT in catching your attention. I know it connects with engineering students in India but it’s a little different from what we had thought it would be. Aagey dekhtein hain kya hai iss 3i mein. I am expecting a comical duet between Aamir and Kareena next.
I think the makers were able to capture few things in the bathroom because they stayed at IIMB and shot the film there.
Watch this song that captures the mood of students perfectly. The video is picturised at IIM Calcutta ->
- There are shocking reports coming from throughout the world that all gays in india and abroad has vowed that they will watch 3I FDFS to witness the bathroom orgy of IIT male students … after the release of this promo aamir has become an overnight gay sensation!
- With 3I set to shatter all opening records; SRK is in panic mode as all his gay fans have now changed sides … he can now count only on the aunties to open MNIK well … but reports are pouring in from house-full multiplexes that all these aunties have gone wet after watching the sensational lead hero of a ghazab kahani … causing SRK double panic attack.
- The effect of 3I promo has also dampened the Akshay Kumar camp … they feel its useless now to spend the dozens of crores for promotion and hype of Akki’s next release this month … as his fanbase is captivated by 3I … this promo promises that aamir in one movie can give more intoxicating stuff to akki’s fanbase than akki’s 4-5 movies in a year!
- also with the gay celebration in bathrooms and towels proved to be the spices (read maala) of the season, thus the overhyped sex comedy called Kites have gone for a direct redtube release as Brett Ratner presentation!
- it has also been heard that now there will be a towel dance included in upcoming movie Paa … director Balki has had the unique vision of watching son and dad bachchan dancing and pulling each other’s towels … this he believes is the only way to recover the investment made on the movie.
I do not know what has happenned post Kal Ho na ho, but we male friends have suddenly become cautious to good friendship bonding. The reason for caution is quite understandable. look at some of the comments here- if two friends in engineering college are dancing in shared bathroom, how does it become gay act?
Man, i think people have not shared accomodation with friends, otherwise, they will understand what friendship masti between males are all about.
I do not know why the sexual aspect, now famously termed as gay act, came from and dampened the spirit. Karan Johar is responsible for senationalising it with Dostana. Now two friends cannot put arms around each other and walk. It will be called Dostana. I remember we used to be told that this gensture between two males is unacceptable in western world and we used to laugh as it was so common and unpretentious in India. Unfortunately in aping the culture and education of west, we have also aped that thoughts between two male friends and has completely ruined the male bonding. Those who understand male friendship will know what i am telling.
Raka, dude, you are so homophobic….
Whats up man??/
Your gay lover dumped you or what?
Relax with homophobic humor, man.
HR is there, he will get fans from every demography, even aunties….
Kites will do well, don’t lose your sleep, or even sense of humor (ok that you never had, so sleep part).
Again guys! Homophobic humor, Dostana and Kal Ho Na Ho are not the kind of topics to be discussed on a thread about Prestige Khan’s most prestigious release of this decade. Historic moments SHOULD NOT be ruined by discussions like these.
For every RAJA HINDUSTANI there is a SARFAROSH, for every LAGAAN there is a FANAA, for every TZP there is a GHAJINI. The publicity of 3I has just STARTED folks, the funn frolic first, but the later promo’s (which Aamir wanted to show first) will come later.
Also DHOBI GHAAT and DELHI BELLY sound like prestige projects!
I don’t think anyone is going to speak, so let me chime in
I personally don’t have any problem with Raka’s comment and many more members probably have no problem. But there are silent members who probably don’t like that comment and are quiet because there is nothing personal. But IMO mods have duty vis-a-vis NG betterment. I understand few members are right when they question coolp about authority as tech mod. But I think his actions were for NG betterment.
Rks:I don’t think anyone is going to speak, so let me chime in

Very true, Rks, I think anything with an intent of betterment of NG should be welcomed. Now, we may or may not agree with it, or it might even don;t make NG any better (not talking about this instance, but in general), but if the intent is to make Ng a better place, we can thank atleast.
And one more thing, which may be I should not say, but I will, being an ass I am, I didn’t like Doga commenting on CoolP like this. If 2 mods are having a discrepancy, I think it will be a better idea to keep it in personal emails, and solve these issues there, don’t spill it in public. Anyways, my opinion, not necessarily right.
Akshay Shah: good to see you in form…chalo aap nahin hasse, atleast humko do hassa diya !
Seriously?
Seriously, thats all it takes to amuse you, Akshay?
A pic and a gay caption?
Wow, I can be a pretty funny guy
Sandhya: When this trailer didn’t even amuse you, and you are a fan, I assume, how you expect others to warm up to it?
I don’t think anyone’s gravtar has anything to do with it, its not exactly the kind of trailer we expected, and I am saying it while being a fan of Aamir’s movies. I expected something better, or say, less toilet-ish, and it has got nothing to do with my gravtar, its Penelope Cruz, her eyes, if I can be more specific, and I don’t think her eyes have any hatred or any feelings towards Aamir, or Hirani, or Madhavan, or Sharman.
You are seriously misguided by foolish theories of absurd individuals. The other day I read very ridiculous statement from you know where SRK had been affected by Akshay Kumar’s movies like Blue, KI opening well in the recent past. On the contrary, its the Prestige theory and the hype abouy Ghajini’s opening that has been affected.
Heck, even Akshay kumar movie after audience disappointments and critical disasters like CCTC/KI can open well. So what the hell is prestige of Ghajini and the apparent greatness. Its amazing that sometimes that people fail to think.
My point in this entire discussions, is how the Prestige theory followers here see a massy promo of 3I and make super stupid discussions about how the movie MUST be something more and blah blah … rather than accepting that this is just gonna be a fun movie.
By the very quality of the promos one can understand that this is not gonna have great authenticity or nonsense causes being endorsed. If it has, its not gonna do a 113 crore. This will mainly be a FUN film with as much quality one can expect from Munnabhai maker.
The audience goes for anything that appears interesting. Anything that has the promise of entertainment. A trailor of Ranbir and Katrina in APKGK promises that. Hence the great opening. The hype around the bugdet of Blue promises that hence the opening. This movie will open well. No toilet humour, bathroom scenes can stop it. Akshay Kumar is the proof for it.
Apart from that there is the concept of a star associated with a genre that attracts audience. We have Salman, SRK, Hrithik — being the real stars with loyal, crazy, dedicated fans. I don’t see Aamir anywhere in this. Aamir Khan needs to be associated with a good movie to attract the audience.
And the people who write blogs about cult classics, quality movies, history of cinema etc contribute very less to success of movies. Akshay Kumar is again proof for that.
Yes, the pressure is building up. Because I genuinely want to see what 3I is all about. Hirani’s movies in spite of the sweetened characters and little overdone sentimentalism, manages to endear with its simplicity. Not a big fan of his style. But I hope he’d try a different approach in this one. I am definitely more excited about this one that Karan’s wannabe ’serious’ film about terrorism, autism and what not.
“Raka, dude, you are so homophobic….
Whats up man??/
Your gay lover dumped you or what?
Relax with homophobic humor, man.
HR is there, he will get fans from every demography, even aunties….
Kites will do well, don’t lose your sleep, or even sense of humor (ok that you never had, so sleep part).”
LOL … look at the attempts of NG betterment … what a better world the likes of Coolp is creating … this ‘Ratner Presents Kunal comes and openly attacks a member (why so? ), but that is allowed .. while my jokes on SRK is edited?
Gay jokes always creates uproar within the gay community … i was expecting such random insults from that quarters, at least someone has not surprised me.
My advice to such g*ys are that dont get worked up with jokes, relax, keep watching this promo for your wet dreams.
For the record, i didnt have anything against Coolp’s decision(neither did i question his authority), i just stated my point of view after Anna had already brought up the issue.
So its all cool between us, no discrepancy nothing. No deal.
RKS too has said somewhat similar to what i had said and as he pointed out anything for NG.
Bash: The first Rang De Basanti promos also were only about college-y antics, they did not at all suggest the turn that film took. So, while it is possible that 3 Idiots is only going to be a fun, dumb film, the fact that the first promo is that way hardly settles the issue.

Not sure this is the right way to go about the promos. I’m sure the film is a dark comedy of sorts so to promote it like an Akki comedy will actually dissuade a lot of people IMO. Aamir-Hirani spell class and that is what their audience expects.
This is just a lot of juvenile stuff happening, which by itself is okay. Except that a 44 year old Aamir in such a part doesn’t cut it at all. Also, my own belief is that Aamir is just not very natural with comedy.
sandhya 5 November 2009
02:55:38 am
BTW, I warmed up to the first promo quite a bit. That one actually gives me good vibes..it’s pretty funny overall. And whoever I know saw it loved it.
But all the same, an overdoes of this scatalogical humour is putting me off a bit.
sandhya 5 November 2009
02:57:06 am
Any idea why Hirani only wanted SRK or Aamir for this role? SRK had acepted it, which means he’s okay with playing a 22 year old too!
What is up with your top 2 stars! Is the script so good?
JustaFan 5 November 2009
03:06:33 am
Sandy….you surely don’t think that Aamir wants to do an Akki comedy with Hirani
This is all about script. Also, I beg to differ that this is an Akki sytle song. It’s basically bunch of college kids just going nuts after a tough day at school.
The song will become big….watch.
I(d)I(o)T 5 November 2009
03:07:11 am
“dark comedy ” ?? Hirani will never have dark comedy in his movies. And comeon ..IMHO Aamir is looking younger than Maddy and Sharman – fresher than DCH days! (which was a decade ago). Sandy you are being over skeptical.

I somehow concur with Sandhya, I liked the first trailer a lot, but too much of toilet in this one.
I still won;t call it Akki humor, but it seems to me that its focused on college going youth, and they will like this.
And the content is very relevant in today’s world, so even their parents will lap it up.
And I will assume that its just one off song, a fun masti kinds.
Al in all, BO wise, its very very strong.

Why is Aamir always taking the center place when all the three friends are present in the same frame? Even in the scooter scene, Aamir took the center spot. INSECURITIES???
sandhya 5 November 2009
04:28:18 am
You know filmmakers have this misconception that scatalogical/toilet humour always evokes laughter. That’s not true, esp not with families. I think most would find it plain tasteless. It spoils a good film for me honestly.
Coming back to 3I, that first promo makes me believe this will be a huge entertainer, but this kind of stuff above is just making the film look trivial. I think they need to bring in some of the serious stuff. There is a lot of that in the film hopefully. Tht’s what I’m looking for. I do not want RDB – pre interval again.
I-D-I-O-T: I do believe the 2 Munnabhai’s were dark comedies. Yes, they were very entertaining, but they tackled serious issues.

One just has to watch RDB to see who is generous over what?! He certainly doesn’t mind sharing screen space with his comrades and like RDB this is evident in 3I! All 3 are supremely talented actors, and in some ways the underdogs of Bollywood (Sharman and Madhavan), then you have Aamir, who isn’t an “underdog” as such anymore, though his favourite onscreen persona from the likes of JJWS, RDB and LAGAAN have been that!

Kunal’s right. That first promo of 3 Idiots really grows on you.
Akshay: I’m not sure one is looking for a massive grosser here – it could earn a lot. But I think primarily everyone – whether Aamir fans or not – would like to see a good film I would think.
He already proved his BO might with Ghajini. I mean no one has come anywhere close to that film yet. So now, he would need a prestige hit, no doubt about it. And Hirani IS the man. Look at Lago Raho.. he beautifully blends mass with class.
sandhya 5 November 2009
05:58:08 am
I think there are two parts to 3 Idiots – one where they are supposed to be in their 30s possibly. And another part which explores their student life. Right now, it is an eye sore to see the men act like 20 year old, which is why I seriously think the next few promos should bring in the mature stuff.

pardesi 5 November 2009
07:45:44 am
I said it before and say it again. If Akki did this then we would be calling it more cheese and puerile stuff, when Aamir does it we search for class even in the crass!!! If SRK did it, he would come for much more flak, the relevance of SRK posts 1-10 would be written (although that may have been a past phenomenon), and jokes made about him covered in foam among so many other guys or sharing a box with two other guys!
Maybe Hirani and VVC and the cast were still in the phase of SIK and Welcome working hugely with audiences when this film was planned. Aamir is always forced in humor, but he has a strong cast to support him so All May Be Well. But IMHO Munnabhai was not this puerile. It was more simplistic though, and I hope Hirani will show us simple and not simplistic in this one.

pardesi 5 November 2009

Caulfield, if this film did not star Aamir then it would not be sold for upward of 60 cr and come with huge expectations. So I think the director has made sure his BO draw is front and center. That and the promos tell us what the tone of the film will be. But then HIrani is NOT subtle, even though he is very effective. I see nothing wrong with having Aamir as the centerpiece of the triumvirate.
Bash 5 November 2009
10:40:51 am
After watching the scene with Aamir, Sharman and Maddy inside the classroom, I realized that Aamir is indeed the tutor of Darsheel in TZP. He has got the mannerisms of a 8 year old perfectly.
I think the potty shots are required to show authentic college life. Plus I am sure they will also bring in the noble cause of highlighting the cheap bathing arrangements in colleges today in spite of heavy fees for facilities.
I am sure this promo is not an indication of how the film will be. The film MUST have something more. Because Hirani and Aamir SHOULD be relied upon to created something better than “3 stooges with mental devlopment of 8 year olds”.
RAJ 5 November 2009

What will it take for VVC to get a decent soundtrack going? Even that production house’s love stories like Kareeb and Parineeta had a snoozefest of a soundtrack. I can’t think of a VVC song I have liked except for “Tum se Mil Ke” (Parinda) and “Kuch Na Kaho” (1942)…
This promo was ok, but has a hangover from other college films; nothing new here.
Bash 5 November 2009

Nope. Its Hari’s narrative of his own coming of age, with heavy inspiration and support from the hero like Ryan.
pardesi 5 November 2009
10:46:11 am
Though what caulfield is talking about is more in the nature of framing of shots. It is hardly coincidental that Aamir is in the center of the three in EVERY shot (but one). That is simply not natural in a friendship between three people, but if Hirani chooses to frame his shots that way then that is how it is.
What I do not understand is how any of this has turned into Aamir and anti-Aamir. It is a mere discussion on a promo of a hugely awaited film. It is another thing that fans are generally less critical than the general public.

I loved songs of ‘1942 A love story’. Kareeb is the last good album of Anu Malik and even Mission Kashmir has some great numbers.
Its Hirani’s music sense that is reflected in this one. VVC always goes for slow melodious numbers. Hirani goes for very Indian tunes with massy touches, which fitted Munnabhai series perfectly. And the same shows in this.

Sandhya, I think you are reading too much in 40s stars playing college guys. I guess you are watching as a critic, which is ok, but this is not how I think audience watch movies. I think all audience care for is entertainment, and if the movie is entertaining enough, they will see it. DCH had no problems with Aamir playing college dude, neither 3 I will have any such problem. Audience dont even care about Aamir beating 20 people just by his 8 packs (Is it even possible to have 8 packs BTW?) neither do they care about Suri not being recognized by Taani. All they care about is if movie entertains them, and if they can feel for the characters. And my humble request to all reviewers will be to keep that in mind only.
I totally agree with Akshay and RKS that this song very much reminds me of my college days, though I was a day scholar, but this madhouse is veru much like what I heard and witnessed in hostels. From dancing on traffic signals, to actually begging just to buy a samosa, what all have we not done?
And I don’t even see a mid life crisis in actors trying to portray 20 year olds. What can we all not do to get back in time?
Liek they say, if I get my wasted days back, will I use them to get back on track? FUCK NO
3 I is actually growing on me, I still do not like this trailer much, not too copacetic, but I bet I will like the movie.

I think promos can prove to be very decpetive, so yes Kunal, I don;’t want to read too much into it.
But just to note, the comments here are getting very predictable. One can look at an avatar and guess what they’re going to say – that I feel totally takes away the charm out of a site. Displaying good faith is very important in a discussion.
In all this, some comments by certain members are of course par for the course, but I find CAULFIELD’s comments especially silly and unnecessarily restenful. Don’t think we need that sort of stuff. What do you mean about Aamir being ungenerous? He’s obvious the lead star – DCH got sold on his name! The makers would be foolish not to give him maximum screen time.
As for RDB – it was brave to give Siddharth the climax.
I personally would not even dignify such comments with a response. And am surprised some members did reply to this!
PS: Saw APKGK – lovely film, doesn’t evoke an emotional response but a great date movie nevertheless!

Kunal: Toilet humour I do not like and this song has too much of it I think. Forget the age factor. I think if this is the flashback, then Hirani might justify that to an extent.
I don’t think anyone doubts much that 3 Idiots would be a good film – this song is a very small snippet of a film that I believe runs deeper.

“One can look at an avatar and guess what they’re going to say – that I feel totally takes away the charm out of a site”
Are you talking about me? I wont change this gravator. What about your Surya Gravatar? Is having one star as gravatar makes the site more “charming” than having other star??
And even if you dont like toilet humor you cant stop it happening in engineeing colleges.
All izz well

Doga,
“Thats not even a question, what should Aamir do then, play second fiddle to Sharman?”
Why should Sharman and Maddy play the second fiddle?????
What’s the name of the film??? 3 Idiots!!! Right?
So in the film none of the 3 idiots should play a second fiddle. So why have Aamir in the center and Sharman and Maddy play the second fiddle to Aamir!!!
But this is just a trailer. So Hirani might only be trying to promote his film well by keeping Aamir in the center in the trailer. I hope things aren’t the same in the actual film.
Doga 6 November 2009
05:05:15 am
So Caulfield, you seriously are expecting that Aamir wont be the main hero here?
Why dont you question than about the song sequence that only Aamir is having with Kareena.
Bash 6 November 2009
05:15:23 am
Any more updates about 3I??? I am sure excited about this one.

Why not Aamir in the center? Aamir can do anything. He can even become the director of 3I – if he wants to.

Doga –
“So Caulfield, you seriously are expecting that Aamir wont be the main hero here?”
I was expecting all three friends to grab equal amount of attention whenever they are together. That’s all what friend ship is about. No one takes the center stage.
“Why dont you question than about the song sequence that only Aamir is having with Kareena.”
No. Why??? I don’t she is playing the role of Draupadi in the film!!!!

“Aamir plays the role of Rancho, a young free spirited man and ever confused about kissing. In the past, Aamir has performed roles of a college student in movies like Dil Chahta Hai, Rang De Basanti and now once again he would be seen playing the role of a college student in his film, 3 Idiots.
R Madhavan who has worked with Aamir in Rang De Basanti, will be seen playing the character of Farhan Qureshi, who willingly goes on the wrong path making him look like an idiot in the film. He said, “My name is Farhan Akhtar… Farhan Qureshi. This is my idiocracy. I love animals a lot and there is an adage in English ”Barking up the wrong tree”. So, I am like that always walking upon the wrong path with full enthusiasm.”

Sandhya –
Now what’s so silly about my comment BTW? Not liking something in Aamir Khan is silly in your opinion?
My point was to explain to Akshay Shah that if Aamir wasn’t ungenerous in DCH as Farhan Akhtar directed it and Fahan gave Aamir more screen time, similarly you cannot call Aamir as generous to have given the climax to Siddhartha as he didn’t direct RDB either!!!!!!!
Sandhya, since you think my comments are silly, plz don’t bother reading them again. Thanks.

a comment about nude dance, gays and a reference to underwear is offensive?
Then WTH is this promo doing here? Take it off .. heights of hypocrisy … this is what happens when u have fans masquerading as mods.

Coolp, you should clarify with Rohit about this.(I was going to tell you this before it happened).
I am not sure about this one, but if it was me i would have left it the way it was.
I personally have read similar things on NG over the time.(But as i said, let Rohit have the final call on this, i also want to know what the limits are, lol).

Let me also say that Hrithik is incapable of doing comedy films like 3 idiot. The last one he did was in Main Prem ki pareshani hoon. Man what a masterpiece. I wonder where are his fans now. Or is Raka the famous one who is back now with his usual antics. Man this guy has been after Aamir, Akshay and Ranbir for long. He needs a break, though not as long as what Hrithik is taking.
I am eagerly waiting for the magnum opus International 120Cr budgeted sex comedy – KITES. Just hope that Rocket Singh does not cut the Kite on his way to the top. Ohhhh…i just… just about gave the reason for the diatribe. Ab hoga Raaka ka inteqaam. Reminds me of chacha chowdhary days. Where is Saabu? Chaacha chowdhary needs him!

I think the makers were able to capture few things in the bathroom because they stayed at IIMB and shot the film there.
Watch this song that captures the mood of students perfectly. The video is picturised at IIM Calcutta ->

News Headlines Today:
- 3I website has been officially launched with domain name http://www.naachnanga.com
- There are shocking reports coming from throughout the world that all gays in india and abroad has vowed that they will watch 3I FDFS to witness the bathroom orgy of IIT male students … after the release of this promo aamir has become an overnight gay sensation!
- With 3I set to shatter all opening records; SRK is in panic mode as all his gay fans have now changed sides … he can now count only on the aunties to open MNIK well … but reports are pouring in from house-full multiplexes that all these aunties have gone wet after watching the sensational lead hero of a ghazab kahani … causing SRK double panic attack.
- The effect of 3I promo has also dampened the Akshay Kumar camp … they feel its useless now to spend the dozens of crores for promotion and hype of Akki’s next release this month … as his fanbase is captivated by 3I … this promo promises that aamir in one movie can give more intoxicating stuff to akki’s fanbase than akki’s 4-5 movies in a year!
- also with the gay celebration in bathrooms and towels proved to be the spices (read maala) of the season, thus the overhyped sex comedy called Kites have gone for a direct redtube release as Brett Ratner presentation!
- it has also been heard that now there will be a towel dance included in upcoming movie Paa … director Balki has had the unique vision of watching son and dad bachchan dancing and pulling each other’s towels … this he believes is the only way to recover the investment made on the movie.

Gorilla 6 November 2009
11:02:20 pm
I do not know what has happenned post Kal Ho na ho, but we male friends have suddenly become cautious to good friendship bonding. The reason for caution is quite understandable. look at some of the comments here- if two friends in engineering college are dancing in shared bathroom, how does it become gay act?
Man, i think people have not shared accomodation with friends, otherwise, they will understand what friendship masti between males are all about.
I do not know why the sexual aspect, now famously termed as gay act, came from and dampened the spirit. Karan Johar is responsible for senationalising it with Dostana. Now two friends cannot put arms around each other and walk. It will be called Dostana. I remember we used to be told that this gensture between two males is unacceptable in western world and we used to laugh as it was so common and unpretentious in India. Unfortunately in aping the culture and education of west, we have also aped that thoughts between two male friends and has completely ruined the male bonding. Those who understand male friendship will know what i am telling.

Very true, Rks, I think anything with an intent of betterment of NG should be welcomed. Now, we may or may not agree with it, or it might even don;t make NG any better (not talking about this instance, but in general), but if the intent is to make Ng a better place, we can thank atleast.
And one more thing, which may be I should not say, but I will, being an ass I am, I didn’t like Doga commenting on CoolP like this. If 2 mods are having a discrepancy, I think it will be a better idea to keep it in personal emails, and solve these issues there, don’t spill it in public. Anyways, my opinion, not necessarily right.

Sandhya: When this trailer didn’t even amuse you, and you are a fan, I assume, how you expect others to warm up to it?
I don’t think anyone’s gravtar has anything to do with it, its not exactly the kind of trailer we expected, and I am saying it while being a fan of Aamir’s movies. I expected something better, or say, less toilet-ish, and it has got nothing to do with my gravtar, its Penelope Cruz, her eyes, if I can be more specific, and I don’t think her eyes have any hatred or any feelings towards Aamir, or Hirani, or Madhavan, or Sharman.
Bash 7 November 2009
02:40:01 am
Akshay Shah,
You are seriously misguided by foolish theories of absurd individuals. The other day I read very ridiculous statement from you know where SRK had been affected by Akshay Kumar’s movies like Blue, KI opening well in the recent past. On the contrary, its the Prestige theory and the hype abouy Ghajini’s opening that has been affected.
Heck, even Akshay kumar movie after audience disappointments and critical disasters like CCTC/KI can open well. So what the hell is prestige of Ghajini and the apparent greatness. Its amazing that sometimes that people fail to think.
My point in this entire discussions, is how the Prestige theory followers here see a massy promo of 3I and make super stupid discussions about how the movie MUST be something more and blah blah … rather than accepting that this is just gonna be a fun movie.
By the very quality of the promos one can understand that this is not gonna have great authenticity or nonsense causes being endorsed. If it has, its not gonna do a 113 crore. This will mainly be a FUN film with as much quality one can expect from Munnabhai maker.
The audience goes for anything that appears interesting. Anything that has the promise of entertainment. A trailor of Ranbir and Katrina in APKGK promises that. Hence the great opening. The hype around the bugdet of Blue promises that hence the opening. This movie will open well. No toilet humour, bathroom scenes can stop it. Akshay Kumar is the proof for it.
Apart from that there is the concept of a star associated with a genre that attracts audience. We have Salman, SRK, Hrithik — being the real stars with loyal, crazy, dedicated fans. I don’t see Aamir anywhere in this. Aamir Khan needs to be associated with a good movie to attract the audience.
And the people who write blogs about cult classics, quality movies, history of cinema etc contribute very less to success of movies. Akshay Kumar is again proof for that.
Bash 7 November 2009

I(d)I(o)T,
Yes, the pressure is building up. Because I genuinely want to see what 3I is all about. Hirani’s movies in spite of the sweetened characters and little overdone sentimentalism, manages to endear with its simplicity. Not a big fan of his style. But I hope he’d try a different approach in this one. I am definitely more excited about this one that Karan’s wannabe ’serious’ film about terrorism, autism and what not.
Anna,
Sorry about boring you.

Gay jokes always creates uproar within the gay community … i was expecting such random insults from that quarters, at least someone has not surprised me.

Bash: The first Rang De Basanti promos also were only about college-y antics, they did not at all suggest the turn that film took. So, while it is possible that 3 Idiots is only going to be a fun, dumb film, the fact that the first promo is that way hardly settles the issue.
