3 Idiots or AVATAR... Which one is Better ???

Well I have been asking this question to myself for last 40 hrs and to others too, and the very first response I get is " Both are incomparable"..

Yes I Agree, but I am not asking for a neck to neck comparison and neither this post is to convince readers towards my point of view. In fact both movies are classic and "one of a kind" in their own arena but as we can not wear two diamond rings in one finger (considering sane people only), neither two watches on the same wrist and not 2 ties on the same day though how so ever lovely they are.. similarly My question is "preferring" one over the other and not about "Replacing" one by other.

Let me begin with the conclusion (???) , (Yes You read it right, beginning with conclusion, the corporate world calls it Executive summary)...

I Prefer 3 Idiots over Avatar. And The reasons are listed below..

(Well I know the headers I am using to describe my thoughts are not the Key Result Areas (KRAs) of a producer or director But these all are important to me, to make any piece of literature (Movies included) impressive)

Story Line : 3 Idiots is "Five point some one" +, therefore it has a very strong story line. Avatar too have a sensible & sensitive storyline but it is far from reality. Its not like that I o not like Terminator or other Sci- Fi movies but all the movies which looks like a reflection of your life (or the worlds you are living in) makes audience much connected to it. Be it mythological period movies or Sci-Fi 2012=2022 or 21XX those story lines are definitely at a distance from where we are.

Impact : There are 2 things about an Impact which makes it an Impact.

1. The amount of it.
2. The place where it hits.

Avatar leaves an impact on 'Mind' while 3 idiots leaves it on 'heart'.


The key Impact of Avatar was its visuals apeal, how one can create 'just another world' and that too so perfectly planned. Every thing about Pandora was thoughtfully created not much to explain, I would just copy the words of Karan Johar.." There is GOD and There is James Cameron..." 'Splendid Job'

The Key impact of 3 Idiots is on our education system, grading system and the way we look upto the future of our children. More over the way we look upto our careers.

We all have seen students in Engineering colleges preparring for GRE, CAT, GATE, IIIT and also for JE post in BSNL and othercompanies too. What is more important is a 'key to dream package'. Even if they are asked to do a dog's job for it (and most of us actually do the same)

Our Indian Brains are running the best firm in the world but how many aptents idians get in their name?

How many innovations we do? (What ever we try it termed as "Jugaad" and killed with in local circles)

How much wealth we create..??


Message : Sitting on a tinking table anyone would say global warming and environment issues are far more or at least equally important as reviving the education system.
Infact Global warming is an international issue and not related to just one or few nations... (sounds good if you are invited to speak or even to spect at G77 conference at Copenhagen)

But Games Cameron has burnt 2250 Crs. INR to convey the message. The amount is higher than GDP of several nations. (These are facts, I would have added reference but there are many source confirming it)

To tell the world-save environment, save earth, dont fight, respect the nature James cameron has blown the resources like anything. (what an Epic contradiction) If I were Cameron, I would have written a novel and not inveted Rs 2250 Cr of natural resources to enrich my bank balance further.

While 3 Idiots, which was build in 35 Cr. INR gives a message and stands by it.

Anyways... The debate wil continue..

Just to finish, let me convey the best thing I liked in 3 Idiots:

" Kamyaab Nahi Kaabil Bano, Kamyaabi Apane aap Tumhare Pichhe chali aayegi"


Luv..
