Story:
The story is nothing new but 3 IDIOTS. Pani (Vijay) is an intelligent student in the Ideal College of Engineering. His classmates Nikhil (Jeeva) and Venkat (Sri Ram) become his close friends. Nikhil hails from a very poor family while Venkat comes from a middle class family. Pani has stinking rich background and excels very well in studies as well.
Srinu, who is known as silencer is another good student who competes with Pani in marks. In an emotional tiff, Srinu challenges Pani that he would settle very well in life than anybody else in the college. He demands Pani to come to a place on September 5th after 10 years to check who settle well. What happens after 10 years, unleashes the rest of film.
On the other hand Pani falls in love with the daughter (Ileana) of his college Principal Viroopaksha Sundaram (Satyaraj).
Artist performances:
Vijay is ok but for the eyes those watched Aamir Khan in original he will be repugnant. Ileana is not impressive. Her zero size figure is no way spilling any erotic rays. Jeeva is adequate while Sri Ram is perfect. Satya Raj did his part very well taking inspiration from the original perfectly. Rest of the artistes and technicians did well up to the requirement.
Plus points:
Story
Dialogues
Narration
Expensive songs
Minus points:
Length (almost 3 hrs)
Nothing original
Analysis:
The film grips the youth audience well but fails to sustain the interest of those who watch the original 3 Idiots. The songs are good to watch but not enticing to listen. No song haunts or rests in the minds of audience when they come out. The delivery scene is convincing in original due to the presence of artistes and the intact narration, but in Telugu the scene ended up like a Tamil concoction. Delivering a baby with vaccum cleaner is something out of sensibility but Shankar adopted that as usual from original. The film will not disappoint and at the same time it will not boost up the mood. It's a passable entertainer.
Verdict: Watch it if you wish
