Finished reading FPS three days back. A story about three guys at the coveted Delhi IIT pursuing a degree in Mech. engg. The three losers who get low grades and one of them even manages to fall for the draconian prof's daughter. As it is, FPS reduces literary standards to a naught. A typical book about three losers at IIT is really no big deal. Unfortunately, I had to read it to comment on it. The movie is a lousy adaptation of a pathetic book. This comes after the the infamous "Shut up" by Vidhuji!!! Of course, the writers would never have conjured the story without reading the book. So to that extent, the poor author has the right to make hue and cry. Now, whether the sudden realization dawns after the stupendous success of the film or not, is a question of morality. But there are some differences, obviously there will be. Can a Hindi film hero be a loser? Never! So, while Ryan is a loser in FPS, Aamir Khan isn't. He can't be. So he did all the dumb things that the sidekicks did, but managed to top the insti. How weird is that! Madhavan particularly is wasted. What a talented actor! Wonder what made him agree to do the film.
