3 idiots or more idiots

Recently i watched the Amir Khan movie: 3 Idiots. it was a block buster with record collection and turn over. Here i do not want to discuss about the movie or its content or its art value. I do discuss about the idiots!
with that controversy between Chetan Bhagat (the writer) and Amir Khan et al, media celebrated few whole weeks. Yes, i know that the controversy is over and there is no need to discern. But, i heartily felt the need of discussing about the 3 idiots and ofcourse other millions of pure idiots.
May be the movie would have been a success without that controversy; but ofcourse i am sure that it would not have collected the record revenue. so the first idiot is the movie group. They got huge publicity without much effort.
if the name 'Chetan Bhagat' would have figured in a prominent place at the starting of movie, few would have been noticed that name. Not millions(apart from illiterate). Now being the second idiot, he made a figure head at top news channel and papers for quite a long time. Ironically, he is now living very close to Amir bhai.
The third and biggest idiot in this group is the Media corp. In this industry, nobody wants to hear the credibility and reliability. We used to curse the Paperazi's in western world. What is the difference between them and top most, leading news channels in india. Here they sell emotions... peep into the private world.. talk nonsense. ultimately, they mould our ways of living and even, direct us how to think. We lack freedom of thinking and doing. there comes the final idiots: the millions of people including me who watched movie, followed the news and organise fans associations...

  1. Probably media should promote useful stuff than such publicity stunts!

  2. Dear Mr. Chellattan,

    You should understand that Mr. Chetan Bhagat is the son of my previous supervisor (Dr. Rekha Bhagat), so i can not bear any more criticism about him. SO beware!!
