Aamir Khan always delivers a bomb at the year end, and so he does this year too. An extremely well made movie which runs impressively till the last 30mins. After which the movie lets you down. In trying to connect with the Indian mass and putting through sentimental scenes what Hirani forgets is the big loopholes he creates. The child's delivery scene was a big big letdown. The ingenious engineer and "Aal is well" could have been put forward in a much more presentable and palatable way. Performing a complicated delivery like the one shown in the film is least to say kiddish. After that scene the movie picks up again only to reveal that aamir himself is Mr. Funsukh Wangru. Who on earth earns that kind of money within 10yrs of graduation? Chatur on the other hand is so rich within 10yrs that he owns a Lamborghini!! A bit unpalatable will you say? In trying to squeeze in lot of pleasant surprises by these means Hirani brings down a 5 star movie to a 4 star one. Ofcourse overall the film was brilliant and the performances great. But then you expect even better from Hirani and Aamir. Go and watch this as it is refreshing and may help you form some fundas of life. But definitely "Aal is well" won't help you in turning a baby alive needless to say that it won't start the kind of mass awakening as Munnabhai aur RDB did. That is the Achilles heel of the film. But enough of criticism if I had watched this 5 years ago I would have given it a four and a half. Thanks to watching critically acclaimed English films that I give this a three and a half on five!! But go..go and watch 3 idiots!!
