My kids, who are American, have thoroughly enjoyed it. And so have we as a family film, having seen it on several weekends. Incidentally Aamir Khan, the main character in Three idiots, has been in many films and has been making many films. A recent film by him is Dhobi Ghat (or Bombay Diaries) and Taare zameen par (about dyslexia). Both I found to be good. Enjoy.
