I saw another masterful movie by one of the greatest actor in Hindi film industry Mr. Aamir Khan. I can write pages about the movie.
Basically the questions raised in the movie are simple-The education system; y should i learn by rote, why are people around you following this system which tests the memory not concepts; why should i take a beaten down path; why should I not follow my heart; why should I do what everyone does. And how does it do it. Not by being preachy. No that is not Raju Hirani's style. He says it a light hearted friend. A journey two friends take to find their friends who set them on the journey of finding their destiny; finding somethin they were really passionate about. And all this is done in a comic way. Hirani questions the education system without blaming anyone. And ofcourse cinema being cinema has to have a happy ending.One of my favourite dialogues is about MBA's- Engineers becoming MBA's ; then going to work with a bank; why did they do engineering.
Even though i started this post with Aamir Khan, this movie is not only about Aamir. It is a movie which would not have been that had 3 people in their 40's not been able to play 20 somethings. Madhavan, Sharman do a great job. So does Boman Irani. What an actor. Kareena does another Jab We Met kinda role and does it with ease.
The thing is this movie got me thinking. I know this is not the time. I have priorities. But i have started thinkin what am I passionate about. Do I follow my dream. What if I fail. Do I take the leap. Don't know. Still thinking.
