3 Idiots, an Indian Hindi-language comedy film, has celebrated its 10th anniversary in China with the fans of the movie taking to Twitter to hail it as the “Film of the Century”.
The film tells the story of two adults who head out on a trip to find their extraordinary friend who used to encourage them to pursue careers they were really passionate about back when they were younger.
Debuting in Chinese mainland cinemas two years after its Indian release, the film may not have been a box-office winner, but it received high praise from audiences. On Chinese media review platform Douban, the film has a 9.2/10 based on 1.18 million user reviews – the 13th highest-rated film on the platform, the Global Times reported.
3 Idiots is also notable because it introduced Indian actor Aamir Khan, the hero of the film, to Chinese audiences. After 3 Idiots, he would go on to act in several other impressive films such as P.K. in 2014, Dangal in 2016 and Secret Superstar in 2018.
“I love 3 Idiots so much that I recommend it to nearly everyone I know,” Zhao Hongyu, a 29-year-old middle school teacher told the Global Times.
Having watched Khan’s other films, Zhao said she admires the star for his sincerity and determination in tackling tough issues.
“Khan’s films usually focus on social issues. For example, 3 Idiots criticized India’s exam-oriented education system and Dangal drew audiences’ attention toward gender equality,” Zhao said. (IANS)
