I was in chemotherapy session when I first watched the movie on my laptop. I was laughing, and literally crying while in public. It was a roller coaster of emotions as I watched it. I was reluctant to freely outburst my mixed emotions as people might just think it as the fear and agony similar to those who are fighting the Big C.
More than ten times of having watched it is not enough as it boosts my guts, inspiration, will power, the eagerness to learn, explore new things and love for people that surrounds me. It had been the apple of my eye among the movies since then and I plan on watching it over and over without falter on the emotions and learnings it bring.
I bet; the people who helped the movie earn 90 million dollars worldwide agree with me on this. It has won six Filmfare awards, National Films Award, and the Best Popular Award.
Prior to watching the movie, I was puzzled by the title being “3 idiots.” Initial reaction to me was that of another nonsense comedy full of slapsticks. But my views towards it changed as I went through it.
Best effort to share the excerpt without being much of a spoiler. :D
This film highlights educational issues in most societies for a long time such as the traditional attitudes of teachers towards learning and old methodologies. It touched the themes on parental expectations too. The three main characters, Rajo Rastogi (from a poor family),Farhan Quraishi (was in love with photography), and Ranchhoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad (the passionate student).
Were they stupid to have been tagged as idiots? It was a big NO. They were monikered as such for having thought out of the box, for having broken the long practiced conservative traditions, and for having challenged the status quo. They thought of things in ways the society could not imagine and I relate to them profoundly on many things.
My take away on the 3 Idiots:
** Don’t follow success, follow excellence; success will follow
** All is well
** You can learn everywhere and from anyone regardless of their social status
** Learn concepts and apply them
** Have Some passionate idiot friends around – choose your friends wisely
** Do what you love and love what you do and put your heart in it
** Life is not a race – do not compare yourself to other people. You are meant to achieve
** Avoid negative people – there are always those who will doubt your abilities but they don’t know you. Believe in yourself that you can do the impossible.
** Take the risk – even if others discourage you. Winners are those who play the match. The cowards are always the spectators.
** Don’t give up in any situation – when your feet can no longer bring you to your destination, your heart can.
How about you? Have you already watched “The 3 idiots?”
