The film's good points, though, are marred by a slow start and a nerve-jangling soundtrack.

3 Idiots takes a while to lay out its game plan but pays off emotionally in its second half.
An all-time favourite of mine, 3 idiots is the perfect blend of comedy and deep social issues. For anyone seeking a good laugh, the film presents a 1 for 1 deal--a few laughs for a few tears. Emotional, hilarious, and just a fun time, this film is a must-watch for anyone who has ever done stupid things in their youth with friends.
No list of friendship movies would be complete without a mention of 3 Idiots. One of the best movies of recent times, Aamir Khan portrayed the eccentric and quirky Rancho to a T. Watching Raju and Farhan chase their passion (and later, their best friend across the country) and achieve their dreams is truly inspiring. Director Rajkumar Hirani captures friendship in a rare movie that inspires you, devastates you, and makes you clutch your sides laughing.
Funny, emotional, with a few nuanced takes about the rigid definitions of academic and professional excellence at Indian universities along with the deep central core of friendship. A true crowd-pleaser that's perfect for family movie nights.
