Aal iZZ WeLL
3 idiots is a fantastic movie. but i feel aamir khan should have given chetan bhagat the credits as his story is the skeleton of the whole movie. ofcourse quite a few things has been added to the story of the movie. ok ok lets dont create a furore.
But it must be said that aamir khan has given a new motto, some sort of proverb like 'Aal izz well'. what he wants is that he wants the young generation to take things lightly but in the correct spirit. lets see what is happening in our country. right from the birth of the child the parents are deciding the future of the children. just like in the movie the parents proclaim ' our son will be an engineer or doctor' Are there no jobs other than that. if every parents think like that there will be no one to do other works. In a nation where opportunities are far and few children are made to compete in a rat race where every one needs success. pressure is enormous on children. The pressure piled upon them drives them crazy and they end up reaching no where. if sachin tendulkar's dad had shunned him to play cricket in his school days couldn't we have missed the making of the greatest batsman ever in this world. imagine if a r rahman was not allowed to pursue his keyboard classes he could have ended up achieving a mediocre job.... forget the oscars. its upto the parents to leave the decisions to their children. they want the children to pursue what the parents could not become. every child is gifted in some or the other way. if he uses his gift properly he can shine in what ever field he is good at. But it is ultimately the parents who should decide whether to make or mar his future.
Yes the movie has given an important message to every one. one should do what he or she feels and have the belief 'aal izz well'.

A Tribute to the late heath ledger
Heath ledger the actor who passed away recently got the oscar for the best supporting actor for the film the dark knight. he was playing the character of the hideous joker who is the villain of the movie. but his performance as the joker was a revelation in the movie which fetched him the oscars at the age of 28 although he was not alive to receive the award with his own hands. to get an oscar at this age is definitely a great thing. it is an achievement every actor would be proud of. but unfortunately ledger died of accidently consuming toxic drugs which were unprescribed.but ledger has already left his mark in hollywood. he is perhaps one of the most versatile actor in hollywood may be after johny depp.let me analyse two characters played by heath ledger. these characters are quite contrasting. one is the 'casanova' in the movie 'casanova' and the other is 'the joker' in the movie 'the dark knight'.
Heath ledger-the casanova
it is a medieval period story of a man called giacomo casanova who was notoriously famous in italy for his womanising qualities. nobody knows his identity but he is a charming and damn goodlooking fellow who is quite good in luring women to bed and sleep with them. he was like that till the day he met francesca a girl with whom he really fell in love with. the first time he realised what love was and what he had for other women was pure lust and nothing else. the second half of the story is all about how he confesses his love to her and how he wins over her with his sincerity. what this story proves is that even a casanova has a heart which melts like ice. so it was one character which was loved by everyone.
Heath ledger-the joker
it is a batman story. but first time ever the protagonist of the story ie batman was overshadowed by the villain joker. it was a flamboyant performance which makes the movie memorable and ledger was posthumously awarded the best supporting actor award for his role. such a performance that it swept away all the awards in the planet for movies. the character joker was a hideous character who was brutally tortured by his father during his childhood that he knows nothing but hatred. but the performance was simply stunning. after the death of heath ledger there was a debate about who should be given the role of joker in the next edition of batman. johny depp is the most likely candidate to bag the role as he has shown that he is capable of handling intense roles.
heath ledger has done two contrasting characters and lets pay tribute to one of the most versatile actor hollywood has seen.
