THE THREE IDIOTS (8th Jan 2010, 1230 Hrs)

THE THREE IDIOTS (8th Jan 2010, 1230 Hrs)

The Maker: Vidhu Vinod Chopra

The Writer: Chetan Bhagat

The Media: Electronic News Channels!

As if we viewers are all foolish, the media frenzy just after the release of 3 IDIOTS and the on-going war of words followed by admiration and you scratch my back and I will scratch yours, by the above mentioned idiots were really hilarious and funny. I have neither read the book nor seen the movie but surely my friends and I were laughing our hearts out to see how agitated filmmaker of repute can make an idiot of self in front of the whole nation by irritatingly saying SHUT UP to media professionals, who were shamelessly covering the event even after being rebuked and insulted…

Surely, while the maker showed what an idiot he is by misbehaving with media professionals, the crying baby writer Chetan Bhagat was trying to sell his book, which must have not made enough money for him before the film, also showed what an idiot he is… to get into the game of highlighting the movie (after all he was paid to play his part for the publicity stunt) and last but not the least, the media made an idiot of self by covering the event endlessly for days to finally show Vidhu Vinod Chopra asking for FORGIVENESS from media professionals and Chetan admiring the cast and crew and the filmmaker days later.

Publicity Stunt just before the release of any movie has become so predicted that there is really no shock value left but laughter and PJs for one and all in trains, buses and drawing rooms and clubs… A maker, who has blatantly copied Robin Williams film PATCH ADAMS to make a successful film MUNNABHAI MBBS, was talking of being original… yes, it was really hilarious! What surprised me was how media professionals, who were insulted by the filmmaker stood shamelessly to cover the event with no self esteem and honour… I know, I know their respective channels must have bagged a huge package for ads from the filmmaker so but obvious the poor correspondents have no other option left but to cover the event with no self respect to show to the world what kind of idiots they are…

One really wonders, when will our creative brains think of something REALLY ORIGINAL to show to the world how brilliant they are and not just IDIOTS?
