An industry insider discloses that Aamir has dove into 3 Idiots 2, which is deep in pre-production. The original dream team—Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan, and Sharman Joshi—will reprise their iconic roles in this eagerly awaited continuation.

The source drops more bombshells: expect a significant time leap, placing the characters far beyond their college days from the first film. The real shocker? The story’s timeline remains a mystery—will it rewind to the past or fast-forward ahead? Only Aamir holds the full script secrets for now. Rajkumar Hirani, the genius behind the original, is also on board to direct once more.
Rancho, Aamir’s witty, insightful free spirit, became a cinematic icon under Hirani’s vision, joined by R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Boman Irani, and Mona Singh. 3 Idiots won hearts with its heartfelt bonds, hilarious campus antics, and sharp critique of rote learning.

A global phenomenon, it raked in over ₹400 crore worldwide and dominated China—outpacing even Avatar—to etch itself as an Indian film legend.

Marathi films have been exploring various content heavy subjects and Dr Salil Kulkarni takes it forward. Ekda Kay Zal explores family bonds and father-son relationship and takes it to another level. Kiran (Sumeet Raghavan) is running a school of a different kind. In the school, Nandanvan, in Pune, children are taught various subjects through storytelling and the use of theatre.  He has support of his family which includes his wife Shruti (Urmila Kanetkar Kothare), little son, Chintan (Child artiste Arjun Purnapatre), father (Mohan Agashe) and mother (Suhas Joshi). His father was a reputed publisher but supports his son’s endeavour. Kiran tells one story every month through skits which allows students to understand subjects easily. He has bigger plans of expansion like to own an amphitheatre and gets assurance from the same from a Cultural minister Avinash Patil (Hrishikesh Deshpande). Meanwhile, Kiran’s friend, Jay (Pushkar Shrotri), uploads videos of Kiran’s storytelling and plays, which garners support from the public. But soon thereafter, Kiran is diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia. Although his treatment begins, Kiran feels depressed. What happens to Chintan, who is entirely dependent on his father, forms the crux of narration.

Dr Salil Kulkarni has kept everything simple here and that makes it more impactful. The dialogues are appealing and he has interspersed light humour to keep the proceedings not too heavy. The drama holds the audience’s attention and keeps them engrossed. But things slow down a bit after Kiran is diagnosed with leukaemia. Dr Kulkarni, being a medico himself, has shown medical processes and happening with authenticity. Music and lyrics are helpful to the narration. The movie scores high in acting department. Sumeet Raghavan is always a treat to watch while performing. The ease in his acting is marvellous. He has shown variety of emotions which makes his role humane. Mohan Agashe, Suhas Joshi, Urmila Kanetkar, Pushkar Shrotri are very good. The child actor Arjun Purnapatre impresses with his innocent portrayal.

Ekda Kay Zal is a slice of life film and will be liked by all generations.

Rating : ***1/2

Let us look at the few lessons that the film taught us:

Kehna Kya Chahte Ho
Legendary actor Achyut Potdar who plays the role of a professor might have played a small role in the movie, but it was significant nevertheless. His interaction with Rancho over a simple definition of “machine” stresses how we usually tend to complicate certain things and concepts in life. There’s always an easy way out, All Izz Well!

Life is not a race
The film throws light on the passion while pointing out that “Life isn’t a race”. We all should go at our pace and do not thrive to compete with others. Our biggest competition is with the self and not with the people around us. No matter how occupied we are, we should always try to borrow time to fulfil our passion and live for our dreams.

Designation doesnt matter, happiness does
The film’s climax is probably one of the best climax scenes in any Bollywood movie’s. The scene has the power to make you laugh while also simultaneously leaving you teary-eyed. More significantly, the scene inspires us to believe one thing – it doesn’t matter where you work, whether you are a scientist, a businessman or a school teacher, you should be happy with what you are doing. Your success is not necessarily another person’s failure.

No need for textbooks, just get your remote to tune in to ‘3 Idiots’ on 5th September at 8 PM only on Sony MAX.

Actor #DusshyantWag, who has been a part of films like “#TeraMeraSaathRahen”, “#3Idiots” and “#Panipat”, is a self-confessed foodie but when it comes to cooking it’s a big no-no.

“I hate being anywhere near a cooking range. That’s just not my cup of tea. I can surely serve some instant noodles if someone shows up at an odd hour. I tried making a ‘sunny-side-up’ for my breakfast once and it was such a struggle. But I have learnt to make ‘Adrak and lemongrass tea’ during the lockdown and I am struggling for perfection, once again,” he said.

Talking about his love for food, he revealed, “I do like to try out new dishes, taste a variety of cuisines but my horizons in that sense are not very broad. I generally prefer going with my liking of specific dishes and restaurants. But sometimes, I do try out a few new things on my own.”

“I have a sweet tooth and I can go on and on when it comes to sweets. But spicy food is a big ’no-no’ for me. I really can’t take that. My choice of food also largely depends on the mood I am in. Sometimes it is just hunger oriented like ‘jo bhi hai de do. bohot bhookh lagi hai’ philosophy. But there are also times when I want to eat something specific for its taste or may be specific to the restaurant. The bottom line is, I am a ‘moody-foodie’ person,” he added.

When asked about his views on celebrities talking about having sugar-free food items, he said he doesn’t support that and added, “I personally don’t advocate it as they contain artificial sweeteners which are even worse for our health. Moreover, I feel that anything and everything is alright, when done in moderation. And as I mentioned earlier, I have a sweet tooth and I binge on sweets many times. But thanks to my higher metabolism, it doesn’t show up the way it does in the case of many others. I can literally eat whatever I want, how much I want, whenever I want. I consider myself really lucky in this regard.”

The young actor also asserted the need to have a balanced diet which consists of ‘Sattvik’ (nutritional) and seasonal food, fresh fruits, etc. He said, “The urge to have healthy eating habits should come from within as it implies a change in one’s lifestyle. I also think that persistence towards the choices one makes matters the most. Going on crash diets in order to lose weight isn’t a sustainable option as it is going to take its toll on one’s mind and body. As actors, having pretty hectic and erratic schedules, it’s very important for us to follow a suitable diet and maintain healthy food habits. We have to be careful all the time about what we eat as it directly reflects on our face and body.”

Dusshyant also shared his opinion on home cooked vs outside food. He called it a never-ending debate and said, “I love eating outside food. In fact, there are days which are ‘strictly-no-ghar-ka-khana’ for me. I am a junk food lover, and I have my episodes of binging on pizzas, burgers, subway sandwiches and whatnot. But as I said, such binges are alright only if you have them in moderation.”

“I do eat restaurant food on occasions. The delivery services have indeed made our lives easy. It is a convenient way for lazy people like me to order their favourite food items sitting at home instead of going to the restaurant, especially when one hates cooking. Also, in our busy and hectic lives, it’s time consuming and stressful to visit your favourite restaurant every single time. Home delivery services come handy and act as a boon,” he added.

Lastly, the actor, who has been a part of TV shows like “Ishq Mein Marjawaan”, “Mere Angne Mein” and “The Buddy Project”, said that there is one ritual that he follows in every meal. “I never ever waste food. You will always see my plate empty and clean at the end of my meal,” he said.

“I think there are thousands of people out there who are starving and don’t get to eat for days, sometimes they have to survive even without a drop of water. So wasting even a tiny portion of food is criminal, according to me. I consider myself blessed that I am able to have fresh food every day and I see to it that the food is never wasted everywhere I go,” Dusshyant concluded.

As the world celebrates Fête de la Musique or International Music Day this month, here’s a list of songs that we have loved throughout the past decade. These songs have been successful in capturing every emotion and making us fall in love all over again.

Zoobie Doobie – 3 Idiots – Zoobie Doobie was just the perfect way to describe how Rancho and Pia were feeling when they fall in love with each other. Swanand Kirkire’s brilliant lyrics blended perfectly with Shantanu Moitra’s tune and was sung by two of Hindi Film industry’s most charming voices Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam. The song that also features Boman Irani is not the usual running-around-the-trees kind of romantic song but it will still make you Zoobi Doobi for sure!  Still not convinced? Okay, then you must surely watch this song to see Aamir Khan shake a leg like a pro. Watch 3 Idiots on 20th June at 8 PM on Sony MAX.

Love is a waste of time – PK – We are staying with the dynamic quadruple of Swanand Kirkire, Shantanu Moitra, Shreya Ghoshal and Sonu Nigam – this time to talk about a love song, which ironically claims it to be a “Waste of Time”. The song comes just when you start loving Aamir and Anusha’s chemistry in the movie and makes you fall in “love” with PK and Jaggu all the more. The song leads to some interesting series of events in the movie but there is a high possibility your mind may be stuck on this duet. Watch PK on 27th June at 8 PM only on Sony MAX.

Jag Ghoomiya – Sultan – There is hardly a better way to describe love with Salman dancing, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan singing on Irshad Kamil’s lyrics. This track has love written all over it. If you were reading this and if you have watched Sultan before, there is a high possibility that you have paused to watch this song again. Correct? Well, not your fault. We would be right when we say Vishal – Shekhar nailed it with the composition of this song which captures Salman’s every emotion in the movie for Anusha. Be it magical lyrics such as baarishon ke mausamon kee, bheegee hariyaalee tu, sardiyon mein gaalon pe jo, aatee hai vo laalee tu or Salman’s signature spin – this song will offer just about everything. Watch Sultan on 21st June at 8 PM only on Sony MAX.

Raat bhar – Heropanti – Any playlist of Bollywood songs is probably incomplete without at least one Arijit Singh song. Agree? Well, assuming it is a yes, here’s a song that gave a glimpse of Tiger Shroff’s dancing capabilities and also introduced us to the gorgeous Kirti Sanon. This track sung by Arijit and Shreya in 2014 still rules our hearts and if you are wondering why, we suggest you to watch Heropanti on 24th June at 3 PM only on Sony MAX.

Tum Hi aana – Marjaavan – “Bande na, dil se gaya hay yaar” there is a high possibility you will say this once you hear Jubin Nautiyal sing this amazingly slow yet powerful track Tum hi aana from Marjaavan. Composed by Payal Dev this is probably the song you would want to listen to when you are in the mood for a slow love ballad. Watch Marjaavan on 18th June at 8 PM only on Sony MAX.

Sing along as you binge your favourite movies on Sony MAX this June

Talking about how he dealt with the criticism that he faced for the authenticity of Shikara’s story and how he has commercialised the plot, Chopra shared, “I have also heard people say that I have diluted or misrepresented the plot for commercial gains. I find these claims very dubious since most of the people who are saying this on digital media have not seen the movie. They probably have other motives to spread negativity. And also these trolls don’t know the exact meaning of commercialisation.

Some of the film’s I’ve made have opened at 30 to 40 crore. I spent many years of my life making Shikara knowing fully well that it will never have an opening like that because I wanted to tell a story about my people and their endurance and courage. I also wanted to fulfil the promise I made to my mother before she died in exile in 2005. If I wanted to make a movie with only commercial gain in mind, then I would have made a Munna Bhai or 3 Idiot’s sequel. That is simple logic that most people will understand. The commercialisation accusation is baseless and I would urge all to see the movie and judge for themselves.”

Chopra went on to share that his journey from a small town lower-middle-class boy to a successful filmmaker has been deeply satisfying. Talking about his four-decade-long journey in Bollywood, he said, “It has been a dream come true. I came from a small mohalla in Kashmir with a dream to become a filmmaker. My father slapped me when I told him that I wanted to make movies, he felt that I will die of hunger in Bombay. My journey from a small town lower middle class boy to where I’ve reached has been deeply satisfying.”

After being a part of stellar movies like 3 Idiots, PK, Sanju, Shikara, Parinda, 1942: A Love Story and many more, we are eager to see what more the filmmaker has in store for the audience.
