3 Idiots: Down the memory lane without a map or GPS.

Sadly the movie does not have the Amir Khan stamp of a different or trendsetting movie.
In fact, while it may have a lot of college-level humor to attract the masses and some well tested plot elements, it does not live up to the hype that was generated around it.
This movie has been made using a standard recipe and Chef Azahar Machwe is here to teach the very same to you:
The 3-Idiots Curry
Ingredients:
1 Large helping of Munnabhai MBBS
1 Medium helping of Taare Zameen Par
1 Small helping of Dil Chahta Hai
Corporate endorsements - add to taste.

Recipe:
Take a large helping of Munnabhai MBBS (including copy - pasting characters and actors e.g. Boman Irani as a quirky head) and mix it properly with a medium helping of Taare Zameen Par (take a tried and tested concept and extend it a bit).

Then add a small sprinkling of Dil Chahta Hai (to give that 'coming of age' feeling to the movie).

Add corporate endorsements to taste (Reliance, Airtel, Millionaire Stores, Volvo etc. - remember more endorsements better the taste!).

Cook the mixture in the intense heat of a pre-launch media blitz till it is surrounded by lots of 'hype'.

Serve with a splash of cheap pan shop humour and a dash of spice (Kareena Kapoor).

Before eating:
Remove all the hype from the dish and DIG IN.. oh and don't forget a big bottle of whichever cold drink Amir Khan is endorsing these days, to wash down the mess!

After eating:
Feel satisfied that at least this movie was not half as bad as some of the other time-wasters of 2009 (e.g.: Kurbaan, Kambakht Ishq, Blue etc.).
