3 Idiots – MNIK – Formula for successful movies

I may sound like the Most Wanted if I quote I know the formula for successful movies. Before all the movie producers flock my house, let me make it clear that these are just my views(right or wrong) and there’s nothing new I ‘am gonna say here.

We saw huge blockbusters like 3 idiots and MNIK. In today’s world, the reason that they became so successful was the fact that these movies have multiple messages in them. People go to multiplexes paying Rs. 350 or so and if they aren’t satisfied enough they feel cheated. But again nobody knows for sure what makes a movie run, it could be some magic that audience find in a movie if it doesn't have any message (Ishqiyan??)

Let me count the messages that 3 idiots gave

1) Aal izz well – It’s about hope. Never panic. Whatever problem you’re in, believe that everything will be fine someday

2) Excellence – Strive for excellence and not success

3) Friendship

Now let me list MNIK’s messages

1) Truthfulness, Innocence, goodness - Be good and say truth always. You will have your laugh at the end

2) Love – A person who can’t have feelings succumb to Mandira’s love and goes all out to gain it back. But in reality, does true love ever exist? (for that wait for my next blog)

3) Don’t generalize – Don’t brand any community as good or bad. There are only good people and bad people.

My best line from the movie is, when the TV reporter asks Khan about what kept him going in such a long journey, he replies confidently ‘my son Sam’s soccer shoes’ haha lol.

Well, having said all this, I feel MNIK is unrealistic. The thought of dividing people into good or bad is not correct because nobody is 100% good or 100% bad. Everybody have their own perspective to life. What I think is, there are two kind of people in this world. Problem creators and Problem resolvers !! And my appeal to everybody is, please try to be a problem resolver as much as you can. In that sense, I’m proud to be a service provider engineer.

Do you know any movie which had maximum messages? I feel it is a wonderful movie named ‘Khuda Ke Liye’, my all time favorite. It’s again based on Islamic world mainly. Very very apt movie.

I am not a great writer or something but the other day I had a nice idea on which a movie can be made. Planning to do some research on it and develop a movie script. It’s again about some syndrome. Only people whom I have told about this are Alpana, Sreedevi and Mathad. So, please wish me luck. Dharma productions, I am coming to you. Else Farhan Akhtar ?

Take care till I come up with a new blog. Please get back if I bore
