Yes, 3 Idiots – the most talked about movie in recent few days. Rashmi saw it and was all praises about it. In fact everyone who has watched it has been only appreciating the movie.
It’s a 100% entertainer and a feel good movie. Of courses parts of the movie is just overly exaggerated; but that’s what made the movie light-hearted and extremely enjoyable. Thinking about it I guess it not a movie ‘just’ for entertainment but it has a very strong message: a true and substantial message. For us it’s all about being No.1 in the rat race; forget what you want. A lot of this is changing, but at a slow pace. It’s no more a must to be an engineer or a doctor or a CA.
However, the fact is that it’s still difficult and often a struggle to do what you want. There is a pressure of “log kya bolenge” or just as in the movie “padosi kya sochenge” – constant fear of what will the society think. We live in the mindset of “what will others think of us?”. I do agree that we live in a society where we are answerable to almost everyone; but often in this struggle to answer people we give up what truly makes us happy – personally as well as professionally.
I think we should just strive for what our heart believes and everything will fall in place eventually; but to give up without a struggle is idiotic J and that’s whats was the ‘feel good’ factor in this movie. If you think about it we all have been taught “you can’t get all you want in life. You have to compromise”.
This movie, however, inspires you to think that if we our efforts are in tandem with our dreams nothing is impossible.
Some parts of the movie are highly touching, like the scene Farahn has to convince his parents that he doesn’t want to be an engineer. It actually takes guts to stand for what you want. We all are a mix of Raju and Farhan; scared to believe in first ourselves and then in what we really want. I agree that the system is flawed but its up to us to believe in our own decision.
Finally I think, just pursue your dreams and you will always be happy. Convince the important people in your life to believe in you and your decisions then “All iz well” !! J
