Dear Mr Chetan Bhagat
I saw the movie 3 Idiots which is based on your book '' Five Point Some one''.I also noted your name being there in the credits at the 'end' of the film (and obviously hope that some credit has also materialised in your bank account too as per the agreement signed on the dotted line with the Film Producers).
We are also aware of your writing prowess which itself is a God's Gift and is limited to few individuals who can manipulate and impose their views on their readers unknowingly,albeit quite effectively.
We are obviously proud that some Indian has finally sprung up on the Horizon and who can weild his PEN very effectively and portray a wide range of emotions from being extremely bouyant to the person contemplating suicide,one who can gauge or visualise the emotions of the readers in such way that the reader does'nt read the words but is mesmerised by the depth of the swaying 'Poetry'that is being thrust upon him and carrying him to a Place which is absolute bliss.
I am sorry but the Praise stops right here and right NOW.What happened to the movie''Hello '' based on your novel -One night@the Call Centre??Probably you were ashamed that how come ONE of your best creations till date and 'translated' on the BIG SCREEN was relegated to the sidelines after failing Miserably at the BOX -OFFICE? It has been reported that Farhan Akhtar, has Purchased the rights for making a movie based on your book -The 3 mistakes of my Life as well.The Indian masses who are already mystified by your WORKS would be eager to 'test' this Movie as well.
It is an accepted fact that a movie is destined to be a HIT on account of a good story line-the Message it wants to convey,the way it is directed,the way the actors/actresses throw their emotions into it ,the way the film is edited and the PUNCH LINE -the way it ENDS.
It should be able to take the People watching it with them, even reviving their own Childhood memories and making fantasies look like a reality even though for a LIMITED PERIOD of 3 ODD Hours.
Let me narrate a short incident in my own life.I was studying in the 8th Std Class (NEW ENGLISH SCHOOL,BANDRA-East) and our English teacher an elderly lady,Mrs Cherian wanted us to write an essay on -My Favourite Hero.This was to be written in a time span of 35 minutes.For the next 10 minutes all were in a quandry, as whom to Choose the right person as our Hero.One of my classmate, Kaustubh Bhagwat narrated a story in Marathi about a Soldier Sacrificing his life for our country.I just ''Borrowed'' the STORY and wrote the essay using my own creativity and Imagination.Mrs Cherian was very impressed with the essay and made me readout the essay in the Whole Class.While Kaustubh, complained that the story was his, Mrs Cherian fondly asked him whether he could have written the essay in the same way?
This is the PUNCH LINE, Mr Bhagat though it may be your own story, the script writers have used this as a base and using their own fantasies have created a MAGIC which has unfolded amongst the masses and woken them from a deep slumber which we Call - Competition, where our Students mug Up subjects like Parrots, devoid of the Knowledge and only the Opportunity to squeeze ahead of our nearest Opponent in whatever manner it may deem fit. Something like...SURVIVAL OF THE SWIFTEST..to many....
Let us in unision, thank the true architects of the 3 IDIOTS viz.Rajkumar Hirani -Director,Abhijit Joshi-for Screenplay,Producer-Vidhu Vinod Chopra and the Outstanding actors/Actresses of this film for protraying an image larger than Life and entertaining us all, aging from 6 to 60 rather than fighting over some miniscule ''CREDIT RATING'' which GENIUSes like you should avoid, by stooping so low and making a fool of yourselves amongst the masses.
I know that I am a NON-ENTITY in front of you but hope that you would take my sincere and humble advice before ''twiiting'' or blogging or intimidating someone just for some cheap Publicity.
