3 Idiots
airplane movie #1 since apparently this movie has been taken off on all streaming platforms and is now under a paywall so will take any chances to watch it for free.
Rewatched this movie so many times and the 5 stars will always remain. I will say I forgot how many scenes are kinda weird or I guess very Bollywood style so felt a little judged watching this in the plane where everyone could see without ANY context but at the same time they are missing out on an amazing film here so jokes on them.
Crazy how friendships work like it was actually unhinged that Aamir khan’s character just ghosted all his college friends after graduation and that Farhan and Raju didn’t resent him or stop trying to find him this whole time. Lik all they had was a picture to go off of and they literally grounded a plane (very illegal btw), crashed a funeral by threatening to throw the dead persons ashes in the toilet and ruined a wedding by taking the bride away—-unhinged behavior but that is true friendship right there.
Even after they reunited, they just picked up right where they left off (granted we don’t get to see all tht) but after being out of each others life for 10 YEARS, it’s soooo heartwarming and nostalgic to see that distance didn’t make their friendship smaller. I mean they went through soooom much together in college, he’s literally the reason they both made it out alive.
Really made me think about quality vs quantity in friendships. I feel like sometimes there are so many friendships with people that you’ve known for such a long time—that’s you’ve seen them through different phases in life and grow into new people that you might not necessarily would’ve been friends with if you met them now but you’ve built a level of comfortability and foundation that it’s been built on. Then there are the ones that you haven’t known for a long time but they’ve been present in key life events, have made an impact in your life stronger than anyone else and you’ve had very deep and vulnerable conversations that you didn’t have with people you’ve known for 10+ years until later into the friendship. I think it really means something special when the closeness of a relationship doesn’t necessarily equate to the longevity of it.
