I was scrolling through the channels and I saw a news flash of “3 idiots” on “Aaj tak”. Out of my curiosity, I stopped by to see that the producer of the movie, vidhu vinod chopra made it to the headlines. In an interview with the media, he shouted out on the media for relating 3 idiots with Chetan Bhagat’s novel. Followed by his rage, Aamir Khan pointed to the media and said, “you guys are being used and so are we!!” what a statement!!! How can they trying befool people so easily!!
Readership of five point someone is more than 5lakhs. Everyone who will watch the movie cannot do anything but reconnect with the novel. No doubts, movie is great!! But work of Chetan Bhagat cannot be ignored and should be given the due respect.
Pre-release, the makers made press statements like the movie is only ‘very loosely’, ‘2%-5% inspired by the book’. But the movie portrays 70% of the books. The plot line was same. People meet at ragging, the first class starts with definition of machine, the friends separate, Alok’s paralyzed father, Alok (Raju) moves with Venkat (Chatur), Ryan (Rancho) helps Alok’s father, Alok rejoins group etc etc. From Alok (Raju) jumping to stealing the papers and calling out from Cherian (Virus’) office – the book came alive on screen. It cannot be a coincidence.
I seriously think that Chetan Bhagat should be given the credit he deserves and vidhu vinod chopra and the team of the “idiots” should definitely apologize for the issue. If they are not ready to give the credit, then Chetan Bhagat should take the legal action against the team!!
