...3 Idiots is an Indian comedy movie with a great message, directed by Rajkumar Hirani in 2009. I like this movie because the message they conveyed through this film. The education system in India is very strict and with strict I don’t mean that by school rules; I mean the level of judging according to the book knowledge. One played the famous Indian actor, Amir Khan the main character, with other famous co-actors. The film also won Film Fare Award at 6th position and also best director award. The idea behind this movie was to highlight the mentality of the educated people in India, especially if they are on higher position then how badly they want their kids to be on top of everything. The competition is very tough and its all about to make proud of your parents as it doesn’t matter what children want to do with their career life. Now in these days, competition is so hard that kids don’t want to understand things and logic behind their work, all they want is to cram so they can do best on their exams and beat other kids. In this movie, the main character, Amir Khan conveyed the message that getting good grades on the exam doesn’t mean excellent academic standing. In the film, there was one incidence where one boy committed suicide because he was not qualified to sit for final exams, as he didn’t pass the pre-engineering exam because he was working on his project where he was using his knowledge instead of cramming book definitions. The dean of the university was very hard to the...

...understanding and applying the concepts. He believes that one should follow excellence, not success, as success will come by itself if excellence is followed. However, this different approach is sneered upon by the faculties, including the dean of the college, Professor Viru "Virus" Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani). In contrast, Virus' favorite student, Chatur "Silencer" Ramalingam, (Omi Vaidya) believes in mindless memorizing over understanding, in order to reach his goals of corporate and social status. Meanwhile, Rancho falls in love with Virus' medical student daughter Pia (Kareena Kapoor) when he, Raju and Farhan accidentally crash her sister's wedding banquet to obtain a free meal, which infuriates Virus. Virus labels Rancho and his friends as "idiots" and continually attempts to break Rancho's friendship with Farhan and Raju. Things further escalate when the three friends drunkenly break into Virus's house one night to allow Rancho to confess his love to Pia, and urinate on the front door before fleeing. The next day, Virus threatens to rusticate Raju unless he squeals on Rancho. Not wanting to betray his friend or let down his family, Raju attempts suicide and ends up in a coma. However, with two months of extensive care from his mother, Rancho,...

...Mumbai, Dec 22 (IANS) Aamir Khan, whose "PK" has opened to rave reviews and roaring box office success, says he chooses a film on the basis of the script and not box office prospects. "PK", which came out Friday, has managed to gross Rs.95.21 crore in three days. When asked if it is true that he chooses films on the basis of box office prospects, Aamir said: "It's a very unfortunate trend because the moment creative people start thinking about numbers, then the shadow of the numbers influences the kind of film they choose and pick." If the team of Aamir, director Rajkumar Hirani and producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra created history with "3 Idiots" in 2009, the trio have repeated the same success with "PK", a film that boasts of a unique concept. It uses an alien to talk about the ills of society and not only makes viewers laugh and cry but also makes them think. "The moment I start choosing films that can do Rs.100 crore business, then my choice becomes very limited and I can only do films like 'Avengers' or 'Spider-Man', which go on to achieve those numbers. This really kills creativity to an alarming extent, so I have always selected my films based on what I feel towards them," he said. "Like 'Taare Zameen Par' went on to do good business and I didn't know it would. I just did it because I liked the script. Also, I selected 'Rang De Basanti' because I loved the script. I did 'Lagaan' when the entire film industry thought it was a disaster. "So these films I have not picked looking...

...1. Describe the system of education in the movie. To be able to fully describe the system of education in the movie “The Three Idiots”, one must know the educational system being implemented by the Indian government. Although some states in India have already used modern teaching methods such as creative learning by Howard Garner, Modern education in India is often criticized for being based on rote learning rather than problem solving. The system of education in the movie is Authoritarian because the teacher, in this case the university professor, is the law and the only authority in the process of learning inside the classroom. It is also is based on the Traditional Method because it emphasizes rote learning which was already replaced by other more effective teaching methods because of its limitation in developing higher learning skills in students. Instances in the movie have shown how the emphasis in rote learning has stifled the students’ full comprehension of a theory that also hampered the development of their creative abilities because they must always follow what is being prescribed them by their mentors. Insubordination will mean being rusticated from the school system. With this fact, it is no surprise that this dysfunctional engineering school system portrayed in the movie, pressures huge numbers of students into suicide. 2.

...the estate. For many years, Vanya and his niece Sonya, have been looking over the estate that belonged to Vanya’s sister, Maria who is also the first wife of the Professor. Meanwhile, the Professor and his young wife, Elena are living in city off the earnings of the estate. Retired with no job, he is simply a mooching cradle robber who needs constant care by Elena or Sonya. In the play, it is clear that he is no longer the brilliant man that he was once was. Naturally, the Professor is selfish because he has become extremely dependent on others due to his old age. He requires a lot from those around him and gives nothing back. Simply he is a burden as demonstrated in his own words to Elena “You are quite right, of course. I am not an idiot; I can understand you. You are young and healthy and beautiful, and longing for life, and I am an old dotard, almost a dead man already. Don't I know it? Of course I see that it is foolish for me to live so long, but wait! I shall soon set you all free. My life cannot drag on much longer. (Chekhov)” This does not only apply to Elena but also to Sonya and Vanya. Throughout the years, they looked after the Estate and contributed to the wellbeing of the Professor for nothing. Uncle Vayna said it perfectly “For twenty-five years I have managed this place, and have sent you the returns from it like the most honest of servants, and you have never given me one single word of thanks for my work, not one--neither in my youth nor...

...students (with consent) visiting the museum and asking about their knowledge on art. Fran Smith’s article, “Why Arts Education is Crucial, and Who’s Doing It Best” on Edutopia.org speaks about how art can apply to educational benefits for students to expand their potential. Honesty holds an important quality in life. Honesty means being truthful about a person instead of starting rumours. Being honest means admitting to lying about something, no matter how stupid, like a little boy forgetting to flush the toilet when clearly, the little boy was the last one to use the bathroom. Linda and Charlie Bloom in their article “The Cost and Benefits of Emotional Honesty”, speaks about how feeling like an idiot applies to honesty: “It's a small price to pay to feel like a blundering idiot while we are learning the skills of emotional honesty.” A student who had cheated on a test and then notified the professor of cheating also signifies a sense of honesty. Honesty comes throughout all types of art and proper usage and credit should...

Hold onto your hats as we begin a journey into apples. Social Factors There is cultural and institutional interdependence between members of any community. When Sir Bernard Chivilary said 'hounds will feast on society' [1] he failed to understand that if one seriously intends to 'not judge a book by its cover', then one must read a lot of books. A child’s approach to apples provides standards by which we may judge our selves. Special care must be taken when analysing such a delicate subject. On the other hand anyone that disagrees with me is an idiot. It breaks the mould, shattering man's misunderstanding of man. Economic Factors Derived from 'oikonomikos,' which means skilled in household management, the word economics is synonymous with apples. We will begin by looking at the Maiden-Tuesday-Lending model, a lovely model. Annual Military Budget apples Indisputably there is a link. How can this be explained? In spite of the best efforts of The World Bank the annual military budget plays in increasingly important role in the market economy. Many analysts fear a subsequent depression. Political Factors Posturing as concerned patriarchs, many politicians guide the electorate herd to the inevitable cattle shed of 'equal opportunity.' Comparing international relations...

...From: Anubha Bang To: Cast and Crew of 3 Idiots and Chetan Bhagat Re: Story Credit Row 3 Idiots is the highest grossing box office hit in India’s movie history. To date, the film has collected USD 60M worldwide from theatrical ticket sales. But, 3 Idiots is better known for the story credit controversy that surrounded its release in December 2010 than the actual content of the movie. The author of the book Five Point Someone, from which the movie is allegedly adapted, has accused the makers of the film from denying him due credit. This is a classic problem in the Indian movie industry where unknown writers are pushed over by more financially secure directors and producers. However, in this unique case, the author Chetan Bhagat was a celebrity in his own right and had enough public support to take the makers of the film to task. The book had been on the bestseller lists for more than 18 months and had almost half a million readers before the movie came out. Thus, public sentiment was in the author’s favor and when the producer on one incident lost his cool and yelled at assembled journalists, the media sentiment shifted in the author’s favor too. This memo outlines the intrinsic and extrinsic motivation behind the actions of each party involved. Self-Justification, Cheating and Abuse of Power by Makers of 3 Idiots After having legally bought the rights to adapt the novel into a movie, the producer and director of 3 Idiots assumed total ownership of the creative...

... But one day, there was an incident that changed my view on "what things". It was at noon, I was going out to eat with colleagues and we met him in the elevator. Because it was lunch time, the elevator was overcrowded as usual. When the elevator stopped at the main floor, there were a lot of people waiting outside to go up. As we hurried out of the door, I saw “what things” was standing by the door with his finger pressing on the button. When all the people went out, he still remained the same posture. I thought he was going to the garage downstairs but then I discovered that the elevator was ready to rise. I was so curious that I looked what in the end he wanted to do. “Does he forget something; ready to return to the office? What an idiot.” I talked to myself. I saw that he waited until the last person went into the elevator. Then, "what things" loosed his finger and dragged out of the elevator with his tired and motionless face. Suddenly, my colleagues and I looked at each other. Since then we call him...

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear. Education consists mainly of what we have unlearned. Everything has its limit – iron ore cannot be educated into gold.

...3 Idiots: Reaction Paper 3 Idiots is a story of true friendship, leadership and fulfilment of dreams. This is one of the best movies I have seen. I gained a lot of lessons in this masterpiece. This is a quite long movie yet worthwhile. Rancho, one of the main characters in the movie, is undeniably a great person, a great friend, a great leader and a great student. Though he did nasty things, he still done it for a good purpose. He never thought of his own sake. He was never selfish. He possesses a lot of qualities of an effective leader. Because of his principles in life, he was able to set the lives of the people around him. The part of the movie that really amazed me is the moment wherein they have to perform a vacuum delivery. Rancho really did well in making the students coordinate and make the delivery successful. That was really stunning This just crossed my mind, if all people will be like Rancho, I guess the whole world will be better but I know it will be hard because ‘Chatur’ and ‘Virus’ exist in real world. They represent the challenges all people are facing every day. They also represent those people who will do everything just to let you down. Competition is very usual in every field of life but everyone can be Rancho. We should just have a concrete vision enclosed with competency and a strong desire of reaching every goal you have set. “Make your passion your profession” is one the quote from the movie that really marked on my mind. You can’t accomplish...
