Today marks 15 Years of 3 Idiots
Where to watch: Netflix
Trivia:
3 Idiots is a coming-of-age comedy drama film, directed, edited and co-written by Rajkumar Hirani. The film stars Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi and Kareena Kapoor in the lead roles, with the supporting cast comprising of Boman Irani, Omi Vaidya, Mona Singh, Rahul Kumar, Farida Dadi, Parikshit Sahni, Amardeep Jha and Mukund Bhatt. The film is about how two former engineering students search for their long-lost friend, who changed their outlook towards the pressures of life.
The film was loosely adapted from "Five Point Someone", a novel written by Chetan Bhagat. Aamir's character Rancho is loosely inspired by innovator Sonam Wangchuk, whose inventions were also incorporated into the film. Other innovators/scientists whose inventions were incorporated into the film were Remya Jose, Mohammed Idris and Jahangir Painter.
Rajkumar visited various engineering colleges for references when it comes to the dialogues and costumes of the characters, as well as incorporating many anecdotes.
The Indian Institute Of Management in Bangalore was selected as Imperial College, the fictional engineering college in the film. Aamir stayed at the hostel of the institute, and the team mingled with the engineering students there. This helped the cast to portray engineering students.
Shahrukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor were approached for the lead role of Rancchodas Shamaldas Chanchhad, but they refused due to prior commitments. Finally, Aamir was approached for the role and he accepted the same. Similarly, John Abraham and Saif Ali Khan were considered for the roles of Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogi respectively, but they refused due to date issues. Aamir, Madhavan and Sharman reunite in this film, 3 years after the last film which featured them together, Rang De Basanti. Boman was hesitant to accept the role of Viru Sahastrabuddhe, and he had recommended Irrfan Khan to take the role instead, however the latter's refusal made Boman accept the role. Anushka Sharma had auditioned for the role of Pia Sahastrabuddhe, but she was rejected and Kareena was offered the role.
The pregnancy scene in the film was originally written for Munnabhai MBBS (2003). However, Rajkumar didn't know how to place the scenario in the film, so he decided to implement it later.
The soundtrack of the film was composed by Shantanu Moitra, with the lyrics penned by Swanand Kirkire. The album recieved positive reviews, with the song Aal Izz Well becoming extremely popular amongst the masses. Other songs like Zoobi Doobi and Give Me Some Sunshine were well recieved as well.
The "butt chairs" of the film were placed in various multiplexes as a part of the film's promotional campaign.
3 Idiots received universal critical acclaim upon its release. Made with a budget of 55 crores, it made 460 crores worldwide, making it the highest grossing Indian film at the time. It broke multiple box office records, and was listed in the Guinness World Records for the same as well.
The film is a popular classic today, and is considered as one of the greatest Indian films of all time. It resonated with the masses in China and East Hong Kong, becoming one of the most popular films there and propelling Aamir as a huge star in the country. Hollywood filmmaker Steven Spielberg praised the film as well. 3 Idiots has been remade in Tamil as Nanban (2012) and Mexican Spanish as 3 Idiotas (2017).
At the Beijing Film Festival, 3 Idiots won the award for Best Foreign Film. It also won the award for Outstanding Foreign Language Film at the 37th Japan Academy Film Prize. At the 57th National Film Awards, the film won awards for Best Popular Film Providing Wholesome Entertainment, Best Lyrics (Swanand Kirikre - Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh) and Best Audiography (Anup Dev). At the 55th Filmfare Awards, 3 Idiots won awards for Best Film, Best Director (Rajkumar Hirani), Best Supporting Actor (Boman Irani) as well as awards for Best Dialogue, Story and Screenplay (Abhijat Joshi, Rajkumar Hirani, Vidhu Vinod Chopra). The rest of the nominations were for Best Actor (Aamir Khan), Best Supporting Actor (R. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi), Best Actress (Kareena Kapoor) and Best Playback Singer - Female (Shreya Ghoshal - Zoobi Doobi)

How to talk to this guy?
Usually people find it easier to ghost than actually say that they’re not interested. It’s always a good idea to ask straight away if he is interested or not, and usually this boldness will catch them off guard but it’ll help you set boundaries and let them know that you can’t be treated that way. If he is a decent person he will be honest with you and tell you that he’s not interested.
This process is tough, I have been through it and now happily married. Keep faith and don’t lose heart. -

Came back to Bengaluru after 2 years. Got scammed the moment I got off the train.
Never pay in cash to cabbies. If they say cash, just don’t board. Clarify all this before boarding the auto. There are genuine hard working cabbies as well but because of these frauds everyone gets a bad name. And were you not alert when you paid double 500s?? How on heaven did he get the time swap the notes? What were you doing in the meantime? -

What's with this Gate??
This is called prembazar gate. This gate used to give easy connectivity with prembazar, a local market, till the diro VKT made it permanently closed. All the traffic and misuse are just BS logic as there were security posting in this gate too and traffic could not enter without any check. Mostly people with cycles and bikes (who had some work in the campus) used to come through this gate. They still come in via the Durga-mandir gate, only their hassles have gone up. Idiot diro. -
