I watched the first few episodes of the dub. It was okay.

Anyway, have I ever mentioned a movie called 3 Idiots? Because I really need to talk about it. 3 Idiots is the highest-grossing Bollywood film in history, and is arguably the best film Bollywood has ever produced. I have watched and rewatched on numerous occasions; in fact, I once watched it with two friends, one of whom was in California at the time, and they both enjoyed the film. It's a comedy that tells two stories—one that takes place in the present day, with two friends, Raju and Farhan (two of the three idiots), searching for the third idiot, Rancho, who they have been looking for in the past five years, with an old rival of his, Chatur "Silencer" Ramalingum; the other takes place ten years in the past and shows the story of the three idiots and how they met and interacted with one another in college for five years. There is a very pivotal twist involving Rancho that I have never seen done before in a film, and I will not spoil it here. The jokes are funny (even if you're not part of the intended culture of the audience), the musical numbers are well-choreographed and memorable, the acting is superb (Aamir Khan as Rancho is amazing, especially considering the fact that he was in his 40s at the time), and the aging of the characters is done quite nicely. Furthermore, given the recent trend of users being down in the dumps with life recently, it's an excellent film to lift spirits, and also provides wonderful insight about life. It's one of my favorite films, and I will watch it again and again (even if it is about three hours long). It can easily be found subbed on YouTube, and I highly recommend this film to everyone.

I also watched Oz: The Great and Powerful yesterday. I liked it. James Franco sometimes stuck out like a sore thumb against the backgrounds, but I think that might have been the intention—to make it feel like an old-fashioned film with painted backgrounds.
