2. 3 Idiots
A comedy about three college buddies that doesn’t let its more serious theme of “self-actualization” get in the way of the entertainment, “3 Idiots” takes a while to lay out its game plan but pays off emotionally in its second half.
In college, Farhan and Raju form a great bond with Rancho due to his positive and refreshing outlook to life. Years later, a bet gives them a chance to look for their long-lost friend whose existence seems rather elusive.
Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra under the banner Vinod Chopra Films, 3 Idiots received widespread critical and commercial success upon its release on 25 December 2009. The film was the highest-grossing film in its opening weekend in India, had the highest opening day collections for an Indian film up until that point and also held the record for the highest net collections in the first week for a Bollywood film. It also became one of the few Indian films at the time to become successful in East Asian markets such as China and Japan, eventually bringing its worldwide gross to ₹392 crore ($90 million) it was the highest-grossing Indian film ever at the time. The film also had a social impact on attitudes to education in India.
