3 Idiots

3 idiots is the biggest hit in bollywood but controversy around it has been even bigger not because it got more attention or time on news channel but because it raised a fundamental question. The question is how long will writers remain a suffering class in bollywood. Poor chetan Bhagat had to apologize in the end to end the controversy. He probably decided to end it not because he suddenly realized his mistake or something but because he understood that there is no point. The way Vidhu vinod chopra reacted on questions about bhagat's allegations showed his frustrations as if a child would react when caught cheating. A typical response of child in that situation would be to somehow try to show that whatever he did was not illegal. the book that he was using was just lying there and he does not know where it came from. Similarly chopra acted as if it was not he but bhagat who copied his story. the worst part of this whole episode was how a legend, the most professional person in film industry decided to jump in the fray and defended chopra but obviously being a professional he didn't forget to mention that he has not yet read the novel. Amir khan is from that class of people who believe that it is enough for them to just utter whatever they feel like and rules will change accordingly. he had the guts to question the morality of a writter who has written many bestsellers and is a regular writer of articles in national dailies. Chetan bhagat is a writter who has never written even a single line of controversy in his novels. He is perhaps even better than most people in Bollywood in selling the same stuff in form of novels that bollywood tries to make movies on. It is his this quality bollywood wanted to leverage on. but whatever the controversy may end into both parties ended up being happy as it boosted both the sale of novel as well as box office collection of 3 Idiots.
