"3 Idiots" Blu-ray Cover
The 2009 Hindi-language movie 3 Idiots was a big deal in India. How big? Well, it became the highest-grossing Bollywood movie of all time in that country. It also set a new standard for overseas grosses as it was the first Bollywood movie to gain a wide release in China. The resulting success there helped garner the film a box office of US $23 million. To emphasize how successful this film was in Asia: it actually screened longer in Taiwan than James Cameron’s Avatar. (Thanks, Wikipedia!)
Over at trusted retailer DDDHouse, you can pre-order the film on Region A Blu-ray for $27.56. The disc contains Cantonese and English subtitles. Meanwhile, the Region 3 DVD goes for only $13.46. Both the Blu-ray and DVD release on March 23.
3 Idiots is a quirky, loveable comedy about two engineering students who race to reunite with an old friend. If you’ve never experienced the cinema of Bollywood before, this inspiring but hilarious flick might be a good place to start.
