While having a decidedly Bollywood movie plot, the execution in "3 Idiots" is quite the contrast to Bollywood norms. Of course, it wouldn't be Bollywood without the choreographed dances to songs, but its tunes are uncharacteristically more varied and influenced by other music genres.

The movie pushes boundaries by challenging India's current model in its education system and overtly conservative traditions, which is a welcome to the usual love-and-crime type of storylines. Using the emotional weights of academic suicide resulting from family and societal pressures, plus good humour and body gags without going overboard, "3 Idiots" is both an entertaining and informational watch.
