Next, Hirani set his sights on something even more ambitious – making the Mahatma and his philosophy relevant again. Thus was born “Lage Raho Munnabhai”. The real genius though was how his script managed to bring out the essence of Gandhi’s teachings without sounding idealistic and boring for even one bit. That a bhai would get down to Gandhigiri was the ultimate stroke of genius that made “Lage Raho…” a winner all the way, igniting a mini revolution in its wake.
And of course, now there’s “3 Idiots”. How is “3 Idiots” significant? “The most important thing about the movie is that it attempts to tell a story of self-discovery”, says Aamir Khan. The self-discovery was not just for those on screen and it spilled over to the audience as well, presenting a moment of introspection over the chinks in our education system. To be sure, the film isn’t merely an indictment of the system, as some naysayers are protesting. Rather it’s a careful juxtaposition of an interesting story with the paradox of the system – consistently refuting to redefine those round holes which young ‘square peg’ students keep trying to fit into. Noted film-critic and director Kunal Kohli tells TSI, “I really liked the movie and I feel it will have an impact on the education system in India…it has already started a debate.” Hirani’s films seem to have this uncanny knack to stimulate discussions and debates and kickstart action. Remember all those flowers and ‘get well soon’ cards sent in the spirit of Gandhigiri?
