"Hey, aren't you the gal from 3 Idiots?" he enquired. Now that’s some instant recognition if you ask us!
But wait, hold your popcorn, because Spielberg's fondness for 3 Idiots doesn't end there. As it turns out, he's a huge fanboy of the Indian flick—so much so, he clocked-in no less than three viewings of the movie [1]. He raved about it, calling it "emotionally powerful" and even considered diving headfirst into a global adaptation [2].
Now, you might be thinking, "Steven who?" Well, in case you've been living under a rock, let me get you up to speed—Steven Spielberg is Hollywood's leading director, with classics like E.T., Saving Private Ryan, Jaws, and even The Godfather under his belt [3]. So, you know, no biggie.
But while we're here, we can't forget about Rajkumar Hirani—the brainchild behind 3 Idiots. The film, with its heartfelt moments, punchlines that'll make you LOL, and a well-deserved critique of our education system, has been a beloved part of India's cinematic history. And now, thanks to Spielberg's admiration, it's secured a global crown as one regal piece of world cinema, one fit for the likes of Hollywood's elite [4].
