3-idiots: miss takes
So you’ve seen the movie, read my previous post about 3 idiots. Its a fun movie, alas with many not-so-well-thought-of miss-takes and am not talking about slip-ups. These are mistakes in the very story of the movie.
1. Raging a senior: So Aamir knows conductivity. First of all that prank isn’t all that original. Its been used in many colleges especially IITs, Jadavpur etc for years. They make you piss over the heater. Try doing that. Don’t worry you won’t get electrocuted, cuz you’ll automatically stop peeing as soon as you get the first jolt.
That apart, he shocks a senior. That’s a death sentence in most colleges. You do not get away with that, esp in a college where they can make you strip openly. They get back at you, gag you up and beat the shit out of you. they might as well give you the same treatment as you gave them (read electric shock). The only way you can escape that is by tying up with the particular seniors rival, if there is any. Again chances of that happening are low as it is. You cannot rag a senior esp not on your first day in the college.
2. The Quad-Copter
The cute little versatile helicopter you see in the movie “designed” by Joy. The design is called a quadrotor. It was invented way before the movie’s apparent timeline, around 1923. Check out Quad Rotor on Wikipedia
Now I don’t understand how it was an original idea. Its been there for years, even in the robotics field for years. I also don’t understand what Aamir did, because apparently he did nothing. I hope he changed the direction of rotation of 2 of the rotors to opposite that of the other two. But again that’s not so apparent.
3. Cellphones, guys, cellphones.
When they go to get the papers from the office, Aamir calls using the principal’s office phone. What the hell happened to cellphones. I mean he’s careful enough not to grab a paper later and run. He neatly opens the seal, xeroxes the paper, replaces it and seals the package, but no cellphones. Hell no cellphones. Why use a cellphone to call his girlfriend when there’s a perfectly suspicious and tracable landline phone right ther. give me a break
4. No Generators, are yo kidding me?
So ICE is the top college in India, dragged from #28 to #1 by His strict highness, Mr. Veeru Sahasrabuddhi, but I’ll be damned, the hostel doesn’t have a generator. They have to use an inverter made just to get the lights on. I mean, you got to be kidding me. No generator in the top college of India. Even our college has a generator.
Also add to that the fact, that when the city is knee deep in water, eletricity out, ambulance services out, the internet connection works just fine.
5. And ofcourse, forget Defibrillators and respirators, just say “Allizwell”
So you can revive a dead child just by saying Allizwell. You got to be kidding me. ROFl. Go to a graveyard and say Allziwell 3 timesand you’ll have a nice army of zombies at your disposal.
Am I the only one, who thinks this is crzy?

Its a Masala Movie first of all , so normally *they* know that People will come to the MultiPlex while leaving there logic at home , well most atleast.
They just want Pretty Faces + Songs (with Silly dances) + Jokes (we heard zillions of times) + Senti Dialouges ! and a Happy Climax (whether its logical or not) and you have made a good Masala Movie.
Thats it
