Wangdu’s Reflection in Rancho

Its 4.20 AM, and my urge to write is desperate. And when I am really writing something at this juncture of day and night, there has to be something irresistibly that important.
Much has been talked about and reviewed over the recent movie- 3 Idiots. The Director, Producer and Screen Play writer are among the most praised of the critics and reviewer. The lead role characters have also been reviewed and appreciated generously. Yet there is one thing which has eluded the nook of critics in the movie and which in fact has compelled me to consider for a write-up on the same. I have searched a considerable portion of digital media to confirm my conviction. All the time I have been negative.
This is about the character of Ranchod Das Shyamal Das Chanchad the lead character played by Aamir Khan. In the movie, this guy has been characterized by an impressive genuine look of innocence coupled with a surpassing talent and mind who has solutions for every problem. It is until the end of the movie, that we find the real name of this guy: Phunsuk Wangdu: a renowned Scientist. As per the story, this man went to ICE as pseudo Ranchod Das Chanchad. However he is a person who belongs to the mountains.
I came across with the video ‘Exclusive Styling of Amir Khan- Ghajini Se Idiot Tak’ on You Tube. This Video contains Amir Khan’s transformation from Gazani to 3 Idiots, from Hulk body to that of Idiot, precisely. He reveals his transformation along with the body language which he has put on throughout the movie especially to give the character of Rancho a look of genius and boyish at the IIM Bangalore Campus, mostly unconcerned about almost everything he does. And that has been successfully done not with the look alone but his attire as well. Look at the kind of T-shirts and Jeans he wears. As a matter of fact, these dresses were not purchased. “Actually we should not buy clothes…I strongly feel we should pick up clothes. For example, if you have a shirt which is two years old, I should take it from you…”, says Amir Khan. Oversized jeans and t-shirts are what have given him the look he is portraying in the movie.
However, willingly or unwillingly, he has done marvelous in the sense that he is carrying exactly the nerve of this character. Here is my point: throughout the movie, and even before we get the real identity, if we observe the role of Aamir Khan, he has outstandingly portrayed the role of a person who belongs to the mountain ranges, be that from Himachal, Tibet or North East. Here we have the most characterizing similarities in these people: they are genuinely simple, they carry an innocent look, they don’t get perturbed easily, their unusual dressing sense like low waist jeans, canvass shoes, unusual t-shirts which finally becomes fashion for the day and an ever-hanging bag around their shoulders. Now observe how Aamir Khan carries himself in the movie. His dressing in the movie, his body language, especially when Veeru Shahastrabuddhi drags him out of his cabin shows much of his innocence.
Now this is my personal opinion and association of the movie character to some specific traits, even though I have positively confirmed it with the people around me.
I have heard people say, “Rancho! You Rock!” However, I may prefer to claim, “Wangdu You are obviously unique!”…You got that…Right??
