Mannerless and Arrogant Reliance Staff is a Put off!!
These people at call center start calling me to pay my bill since 25th of every month. After repeat requests which eventually became very ugly conversations over a time, they still wont stop calling since 25th and will go on till you wont pay, which is not before 2/3rd in my case as I am salaried employee.
Not only this staff at Borivali Webstore is Mannerless, but is also such a put off, that eventually they have pushed me to think of abondining this number which I have been using this since a long time now. I have decided to gradually stop using this number and for my peace of mind, I dont mind even if my investment of Rs 16000 for a HTC phone goes waste in just 6 months.
Reliance staff from Borivali Webstore is succesful in pissing me of and truly wish that this company keep loosing customers purely becasaue of their customer service staff.
They nailed me down with my above decision when they sent a personn over to my house to collect a mere Rs 650 when my credit limit is more than Rs 2500..
I truly wish Reliance Communications guys be doomed, soon.

its only 1 idiot, not 3 idiots
"An intelligent person is one who learns to swim with the tide, one who does not is a fool. All the progress in this world is due to these fools".
3 idiots revolves around these philosophical lines given to mankind by George Bernard Shaw. I am sure Bernard Shaw was observing someone whom Amir Khan enacts in this picture. He is playing a genius mind who is not accepting the stereotypes of an Established Engineering Institution. Story is modification of a Pink Floyd song to a movie- "Brick in the wall". Institutions are only educating and giving us no knowledge. Institutions discourage inventions and any thing which does not fall in the syllabus. They are factories churning out products (students) who will make no difference.
10/10 for taking this stance and with two thumbs up, highly recommended to experience. You will re-live the time you liked most. Your college days. Music by Shantanu Moitra is amazing and more amazing are the lyrics by Swanand Kirkire.
The risk what Hirani is running into is that he is giving a laathi to all to claim a buffalo. In a country where religion and movies have arguably the same influence, one may not try to encourage anti-establishment motivates specially when the core target audience is students. Hirani has crafted a brilliant niche for his ideas but has over done a little in this one. May be his direction got a little swayed by Amir Khan who is known for it. But then there is no one else who could have done this better or with such finesse.
The movie is "1 idiot". The other 2 (Sharman Joshi and Madhavan) are converted idiots by a father idiot. They accept it gracefully pulling their pants off bending backwards saying "Tohfa Kabul karo". Knowing their acting strengths they have been greatly under-utilised. They could have done much better. I mean Amir Khan coming out of a college 20 years ago is still coming out. Not that Amir is not outstanding, but I am sure there's a talent in other artists to explore, not going far, Sharman could have played this easily.
Boman Irani playing head of the Institute is rougher and tougher, blamed more than required for extremes committed by his students and his own son. Students better not object to the deadlines and decorum which has to be maintained. Sure there will be challenges for students to face when they get out in the real world. Students may not get inspired by this movie and get converted to idiots. For, "all genius are idiots, but all idiots are not genius".
Beautiful Kareena has a very little role to play in treasure hunting (Amir hunting) story. She does well. She is a readymade idiot, waiting for a father idiot to be discovered.
Ragging pranks in the college are normal and probably all of us would have gone through. They are hilarious at times.
"All is well" is well. But not quite well when you will have to deliver a baby pulling out of the pregnant mother through a vacuum cleaner with controlled sucking power with no electricity..
Well, still go for it!

Papa Amitabh Bachchan – Paa (Poo)
Ha ha, yes, its BUM.. He is so obsessed with the organ, that he calls one of his characters (vidya’s mother) “BUM”. Without any significance, or may be to try to make audience laugh a little in this serious story, every now and then either the BUM is shown through fingers or spoken about! AURO calls her grandmother BUM, why? B’coz she has a big BUM..
Story (if I may dare call it a one) starts with a couple (abhishek and vidya) humping anywhere and everywhere.. on a sofa set in a drawing room, in an open field, in the toilet of a train..they are so much into it that they don’t mind it even without contraceptives. This is when a child is conceived and pain has begun..
Bum acts like a BUM to encourage her daughter (still a student) with whatever she does and help her raise a very rare child called AURO..
Ok, too much of BUM
Abhishek inherits a political life from his father (Paresh Rawal). He wants to change the overall Indian perception for country’s Political scenario and politicians.. So, rather than accepting responsibility of his pregnant girlfriend, this irresponsible guy (who goes around humping without condom) accepts a far more challenging task, hercules task of making Politics a viable career option for young Indians. To pursue his political ambitions, he asks Vidya to abort the child and not bother him and leave him for India’s development..which she happily agrees..
Udi Udi ittefaq (se phir gir gayi! In this song and a scene where she absolutely rejects any sympathies for her 60 years looking child from an unknown lady in the garden, AURO the special child has grown to 12 years.. The best thing movie does is avoid showing all the pain and hardships of a single mother raising a special child..(lesser pain is better)..
So far, if I am unable to discourage you to watch this film, the story goes on and takes round and round and round..literally!
Hero taking on with Indian Media for his fight to get better homes for slum dwellers and reminding us Spiderman’s lines “with great power, comes great responsibility”..is anyways not connected to the main plot which is like a boring documentary and has no explainable justification to be in the subject attempted..
BUM and her BUM like daughter completely ignore AUROs a fatal stroke while playing, and a subsequent warning from doctor that he s aged as much as 80 years and he must stop going to school.. To top it up, they send him with Abhishek (responsible MP and an irresponsible humper) to all the way to Delhi for 2 days .. washing their hands off his responsibility till AURO calls from Abhisheks phone and reconnects..
Meanwhile, there are illogical coincidences of Abhishek (successful MP) who claims he doesn’t have time to eat and shit, .. finding his overgrown child, developing friendly relations thru email and online video chatting, he takes him all the way to Delhi in a flight to see Presidents house, sharing his room and bed and going out in a public train without his defense.. making AURO a potential potty minister and many more stupid not hilarious scenes .. of course, not knowing so far he is his son..
I literally laughed out loud when AURO makes his folks run round and round his deathbed..
We would have spared this agony and saga only if he carried condoms packet
So, the Moral of the story? Always carry one..for the sake of mankind!
