This is one more film just like our all time favorite-Taare Zameen Par, but still a little bit different. The theme is almost the same, but there were a few things that the director could not elaborate. Read on to see the points that the director could not elaborate due to shortage of time in the film.
It seems that Aamir has taken up the task of improving our nation and making the 2020 dream of Abdul Kalam true by doing niche projects which have a unique message for the ambitious and talented youth of our country. Did you know that Bill Gates was an unsuccessful student in his graduation days? But today all the top students of all the top engineering colleges are working under him! Why is it that Bill Gates became so successful in his life? Because he followed the theme of 3 idiots. He listened to his heart and moved further in the field he was most interested in- softwares. Do you know that 70% of all engineers become engineers just in order to earn more money out of their profession. But what about job satisfaction? Money does not bring satisfaction. Instead it brings lust. A person earning more money feels like earning even more money. The thirst of money is never quenched. But if you listen to your heart and choose the work which interests you the most, then there is no turning back. Even if you earn less money out of it you will still be happy in your life. The reason why job looks like a punishment to many engineers is because they do not like doing it. Their field of interest is completely different. Of course if you are passionately interested in playing cricket, making it a serious source of earning money is a whole different story. I just want to say that the first step is to decide what you would like to do in order to live a happy life. And this is what the film 3 idiots also wants to say.
Remember what Aamir says when he enters the principal cabin: ‘Everybody in your university speaks about gaining higher scores and going to U.S.’ This is what Rancho did not want Farhan to do’ because, Farhan was interested in wild life photography. If Farhan would do an Engineer’s job, he would not become so famous, because, he had no passion in Engineering and Machines. The reason why everybody thows their children into the engineering field is because the scope is higher. This is what the parents are always worried about. Believe it or not, nowadays there are lots of Virus-like and Hitler-like parents. All they say is: Life is a race. They never realize that even the children are willing to run. But the children should be given their chance of choosing the right racing track in which they like to run. If you keep Bengal Gram and Jaggery at the end of the track the horse will definitely run faster. But what if you hold a vessel filled with red chilly powder. Would you expect the horse to run with the same enthusiasm? The first thing that the parents should do is to ask the children their field of interest and then give appropriate suggestions. Counseling with the children is always the best option. Understand their dreams. Do not forget that it is their life that they have to live. It is their satisfaction which counts. You need to respect their freedom. Do not put the burden of your dreams on your children. If you do it you children will become like slaves and live like slaves in the society. The only difference is that these slaves will be earning a bit more than traditional slaves. Let your children be like free birds or else they will never enjoy the flight of life. They will never understand the power of their powerful wings. This is what the director wants to say in the case of Farhan in 3 idiots.
The second one among the three idiots: Raju is just an example to show that category of students who are reluctant in joining Engineering and getting placed in companies in order to handle their responsibilities. The lecturers need to understand the students belonging to this category. One more thing that was highlighted was the reason for his decreasing marks: fear. Its only fear that hinders the marks of some talented students. Fear of failing, fear of falling in the middle of the racing track. Fighting with fear was what Raju had to do.
And then coming to the third idiot: Rancho. A unique thinker and a very trustworthy friend. All he wanted was the happiness of his friends and hence he posts the wild life photographs of Farhan to his favorite wild life photographer. He also guides Raju and makes sure that he gets placed in a good company. Rancho wants to learn all the time from everything that is going on around him. Remember how he gets the idea of shocking his senior’s d_ck who wanted to rag him. He looked around and saw the electric wire. The moment he saw it the idea of giving a shock clicked in his mind and he worked it out. Just looking around us we can learn so many things. This is what the character of Rancho does. It does not just see things, it notices things. This is a very unique character and is found very rarely in the Indian society. Remember his words: “perfection ke peeche bhaago, phir dekho kamiyabi jhak maarte hue tumhare paas aayegi.” Which by the way is absolutely true and we all know it. Also there is another category of students. Students who are studious but are thrown into fileds they are not interested in. Take me for example. I am good at software programming but I had to choose electrical branch because it was the only option left. I was so much interested in learning computers that I was ready to opt for B.Sc in Computers. But my family members did not agree. My problem was that my marks were good and my elders wanted me to become an engineer. Even today I do not study well in my branch related subjects, but, if I touch computer related books I finish a book of thousand pages within five days and also make notes on them at the same time! I don’t want the future of many other Akshay’s to be ruined like mine. If I would listen to my heart then, I would be the topper of the university by now. Now I only realize how much I miss my world of Computers.
Did you know that there are thousands and thousands of Bill Gates in India? The only reason why they did not become as successful as the foreign Bill Gates was because these Indian Bill Gates dreamed of working ‘under the foreign Bill Gates’. Hope you understand what I want to say. You need to do a job just in order to gain experience. You just need to learn how to use your wings for flying. Later onwards when you become an expert, you may fly wherever you want to. My uncle worked as a civil Engineer in a company for two years for a salary of rupees twenty thousand. Now he has opened his own agency and is earning a minimum of sixty thousand rupees per month out of every contract! See! What if he kept working under the company? Do you realize how much he would loose in his entire lifetime? The ratio is 1:3 i.e. he would loose twice the money he earned out of his job. I don’t want this to happen to everybody.
The film challenges the Indian system of education. The actors are at their best (as always). This is all that the film 3 idiots has got to say. Remember these things very well. They shall help you live a better life henceforth. So be one among the 3 idiots and then you will watch everyone pulling their pants down and saying “Jahapana! Tussi great ho! Tofa kubool karo!”. Have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!
