Of Hindi Movie

昨天, 我看了生平第一部Hindi Movie!!! 是一部名叫 " 3 Idiots ” 的戏...不要看名字而下定论哦! 虽然名字翻译成华语, 不太好听...哈哈,但是,内容可是比"刺陵", 甚至有的人说比" Avatar " 还好看!!

3 Idiots (Hindi: थ्री इडीयट्स) is a 2009 Bollywood comedy film directed by Rajkumar Hirani. It was loosely adapted from the novel Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat. 3 Idiots stars Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor, Omi Vaidya, Parikshit Sahni and Boman Irani. 哈哈…我知道通通都是很陌生的明星的名字…我自己也不懂这些明星，他们到底有多出名呢…我也不晓得…

Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi), and Rancchoddas "Rancho" Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan) are three engineering students who share a room in a hostel at the Imperial College of Engineering, one of the best colleges in India. While Farhan and Raju are average students from modest backgrounds, Rancho is from a rich family. Farhan wants to become a wildlife photographer, but has joined engineering college to fulfil his father's wish. Raju on the other hand wants to uplift his family fortunes. Rancho is a wealthy genius who studies for the sheer joy of it. However, Rancho's passion is for knowledge and taking apart and building machines rather than the conventional obsession of the other students with exam ranks. With his different approach Rancho incurs the wrath of dean of college, Professor Viru Sahastrabudhhe (ViruS) (Boman Irani). Rancho irritates his lecturers by giving creative and unorthodox answers, and confronts ViruS after fellow student Joy Lobo hangs himself in his dormitory room. Joy had requested an extension on his major project on compassionate grounds—his father had suffered a stroke—but ViruS refused, saying that he himself was completely unmoved by his own son's accidental death after being hit by a train. Rancho denounces the rat race, dog-eat-dog, mindless rote learning mentality of the institution, blaming it for Lobo's death.

Threatened by Rancho's talent and free spirit, ViruS labels him an "idiot" and attempts on a number of occasions to destroy his friendship with Farhan and Raju, warning them and their parents to steer clear of Rancho. In contrast, ViruS’ model student is Chatur Ramalingam or "Silencer", (Omi Vaidya) who sees a high rank at the prestigious college as his ticket to higher social status, corporate power, and therefore wealth. Chatur conforms to the expectations of the system. Rancho humiliates Chatur, who is awarded the honour of making a speech at an award ceremony, by substituting obscenities into the text, which has been written by the librarian. As expected, Chatur mindlessly memorises the speech, without noticing that anything is amiss, partly aided by his lack of knowledge on Hindi. His speech becomes the laughing stock of the audience, infuriating the authorities in the process.

Meanwhile, Rancho also falls in love with ViruS' medical student daughter Pia (Kareena Kapoor) when he, Raju and Farhan crash her sister's wedding banquet in order to get a free meal, in the process further infuriating ViruS.

Meanwhile, the three students continue to anger ViruS, although Rancho continues to come first in every exam, while Chatur is always second, and Farhan and Raju are inevitably in the last two positions. The tensions come to a head when the three friends, who are already drunk, break into ViruS's house at night to allow Rancho to propose to Pia, and then urinate on a door inside the compound before running away when ViruS senses intruders. The next day, ViruS threatens to expel Raju lest he talks on the other two. Unable to choose between betraying his friend or letting down his family, Raju jumps out of the 3rd floor window and lands on a courtyard, but after extensive care from Pia and his roommates, awakes from a coma.

The experience has changed Farhan and Raju, and they adopt Rancho's outlook. Farhan decides to pursue his love of photography, while Raju takes an unexpected approach for an interview for a corporate job. He attends in plaster and a wheelchair and gives a series of non-conformal and frank answers. However, ViruS is unsympathetic and vows to make the final exam as hard as possible so that Raju is unable to graduate. Pia hears him and angrily confronts him, and when ViruS gives the same ruthless reply he gives to his students, she denounces him in the same way that Rancho did over the suicide of Lobo. Pia reveals that Viru's son and her brother was not killed in an accident but committed suicide in front of a train and left a letter because ViruS had forced him to pursue a career in engineering over his love for literature; ViruS always mentioned that he unsympathetically failed his son on the ICE entrance exams over and over to every new intake of ICE students. After this, Pia walks out on the family home, and takes ViruS's spare keys with her. She tells Rancho of the exam, and he and Farhan break into ViruS's office and steals the exam and give it to Raju, who with his new-found attitude, is unconcerned with the prospect of failing, and refuses to cheat and throws the paper away. However, ViruS catches the trio and expels them on the spot. However, they earn a reprieve when Viru's pregnant elder daughter Mona (Mona Singh) goes into labour at the same time. A heavy storm cuts all power and traffic, and Pia is still in self-imposed exile, so she instructs Rancho to deliver the baby in the college common room via VOIP, after Rancho restores power using car batteries and a power inverter that Rancho had dreamed up and ViruS had mocked. Rancho then delivers the baby with the help of a cobbled-together Vacuum extractor.

After the baby is apparently stillborn, Rancho resuscitates it. ViruS reconciles with Rancho and his friends and allows them to take their final exams and they graduate. Rancho comes first and is awarded ViruS's pen, which the professor had been keeping for decades before finding a brilliant enough student to gift it to.

Their story is framed as intermittent flashbacks from the present day, ten years after Chatur vowed revenge on Rancho for embarrassing him at the speech night and promised to become more successful than Rancho a decade later. Having lost contact with Rancho, who disappeared during the graduation party and went into seclusion, Raju and Farhan begin a journey to find him. They are joined by Chatur, now a wealthy and successful businessman, who joins them, brazenly confident that he has surpassed Rancho. Chatur is also looking to seal a deal with a famous scientist and prospective business associate named Phunsukh Wangdu. Chatur sees Wangdu, who has hundreds of patents, as his ticket to further social prestige. When they find Rancho's house, they walk into his father's funeral, and find a completely different Rancho Jaaved Jaffrey. After accusing the new man of stealing their friend's identity and profiting from his intellect, the host pulls a gun on them, but Farhan and Raju turn the tables by seizing the father's ashes and threatening to flush them down the toilet. The householder capitulates and says that their friend was a destitute servant boy who loved learning, while he, the real Rancho, was a lazy wealthy child who disliked study, so the family agreed to let the servant boy study in Rancho's place instead of labouring. In return, the real Rancho would pocket the qualifications and the benefits thereof, while the impersonator would sever all contact with the world and start a new life. The real Rancho reveals that his impersonator is now a schoolteacher in Ladakh.

Raju and Farhan then find Pia, and take her from her wedding day to Suhas by performing the same tricks with his material possessions, and having Raju turn up to the ceremony disguised as the groom and eloping with Pia in public. When they arrive in Ladakh, they see a group of enthusiastic Ladakhi children who are motivated by love of knowledge. Pia and the fake Rancho rekindle their love, while Chatur mocks and abuses Rancho the schoolteacher. He asks Rancho to sign on a DECLARATION OF DEFEAT document. And sees that Rancho is using the pen which ViruS had gifted him. Chatur snatches the pen from Rancho and starts to move back. When Rancho's friends ask what his real name is, he reveals that his real name is Phunsukh Wangdu and phones Chatur, who has turned his back, and tells him that he will not be able to sign the deal with him because he has his pen. He asks Chatur to turn around meet his prospective business partner. Chatur is horrified and falls to his knees, accepts his defeat and continues to plead his case with Phunsukh to establish the business relationship he was after.

这个plot 是不是又点很长一下，哈哈哈… 我从 wikipedia copy 下来的…是有点太长了啦…简单的来讲，就是:

有3个好朋友， Farhan,Raju 和 "Rancho”，这3个好朋友在印度最好的 engineering college 求学，ICE (Imperial College of Engineering)...Farhan家境普通, 最大的兴趣就是摄影,尤其是 wildlife photography, 生平最大的梦想就是当个生态摄影师, wildlife photographer, 但由于父亲的期望,只好去读engineering… 而Raju, 家庭贫困, 有个瘫痪的父亲, 生病的母亲, 嫁不出的 sister… 而" Rancho” 则家庭富裕,天资过人, 读书喜欢活学活用, 厌恶其他学生以背书的读书方式,厌恶一个以考试成绩之上的 education system, 他对machine/ motor 等有 extraordinary 的 PASSION!!

有好人一定有坏人, 有一个同学，叫 Chatur,人称"Silencer”，是个读书狂…有时为了考试可以考获第一,会故意制造 distraction 去影响别人, 让别人考差一点,自己就可以 number one!还有一个好像是校长还是院长的人物,人称"ViruS” (他的名字的缩写) 就是一个成绩至上的人, 对"Rancho” 特别针对…

然后,当然，故事中间有不少他们3个好朋友的"历险"经验,搞怪,整人, 还有校长的挑拨离间, 甚至导致 Raju 身受重伤…还有" Rancho”和校长的女儿"Pia” 的邂逅… 有搞笑,有感动, 有亲情, 有友情, 有哭,有笑… (爱情只占了整部戏的百分之1…不要以为印度戏只是谈情说爱,在椰树下跳舞!!)

毕业后,"Rancho” 就没有消息了,好像人间蒸发一样… 原来, 毕业后, Farhan,Raju在经过Raju 受伤的经验后,都决定勇敢的去追求自己的梦想… 好几年后, 当大家都事业有成了, 想起怎么没有" Rancho” 的消息… 回到印度,才发现原来"Rancho” 并不是他的本名………并不是什么有钱人家的少爷……… 那他是谁?他在那里?

最后找到" Rancho” 了, 原来他开了一件学校, 教育偏远地区穷困的孩子, 并用自己的本名成了世界闻名的科学家!!!

我的看法: 让我对印度戏的印象彻底颠覆! hahahaha~ 我很少看 movie 会想看第二遍… Avatar 我也只是看过一次就算了, 刺陵连看都不想看! 他的笑点有不会太"傻" , 太 “stupid” 的那种! 感动, 真的是会哭的那种!

这部戏的经典名句: "All is well” 但是要念成印度腔一点" aal iss weell” ^^, 还有一句, 忘了发生什么事情需要 "Rancho” 十万火急的载 Raju 的父亲去医院是, (但第二天有考试) 对他的 Pia & Raju 说了一句, "exam a lot, but father only one!”

当然，整部戏是 Hindi 文, 我是靠 subtitle 来理解整部戏的啦! 还有, Hindi Movie 嘛,多少都有唱歌跳舞啦! ^^,
