 INTRODUCTION
MOVIE TITLE – 3 IDIOTS

3 Idiots is an Indian film circling the tale of three best friends.It's an account of three idiots who
figure out how to seek after their fantasies battling despite seemingly insurmountable opposition
and entertain us greatly. Loaded with fun and lungs-bursting chuckling, this is perhaps the most
educational and persuasive Hindi films ever.

THEME-The fundamental theme of the film were parental desires , the inflexible mentalities of
instructors ,the impact of friends , students ' aptitudes and repetition memorisation.These subjects
were showed up using humor .Focusing on educational situations in an engineering school, the
film showed negative and faulty educational practices(relating to desires, parental pressure and
students' aptitudes). Three idiots meant to make mindfulness among guardians , teachers and
students with respect with the impacts of unjustifiable parental pressures in this regard.

GENRE – COMEDY

Some of the humourous moments are -

 At the point when they check their outcomes and get irritated with not discovering amir
khan's name,then they check again and finds that he has topped the test and afterward
they get more vexed. Dialogue “"saala dost k fail hone par itna gam ni hota jitna dost k
top karne par hota hai"

 The most humourous fragment in the film, was during the flashback appeared in the film,
in which Chattur (Can be said the antagonist of the film and, the second researcher of the
college.) gives a discourse, improvised by Rancho(The protagonist, Aamir Khan), to
show his companion Raju,who went on some unacceptable way of gaining from the
books and cramming, as opposed to understanding and learning.Chattur gives the most
interesting discourse of the century , before the dean(virus otherwise known as Boman
irani),

CHARACTERS
Farhan

He is the storyteller who has a passion for untamed life photography however he's studying
engineering since it's what his dad requests in spite of Farhan's reluctance.He doesn't care for
engineering and his evaluations are super-poor. Since his family can just bear the cost of one air
conditioner, Farhan's parents installed it in his room so he may have the option to focus on his
work and studies all the more easily. Furious at Rancho for being a terrible effect on his child,
Farhan's dad clarifies his intentions and desires, affirming, "We put all our money into Farhan's
education. We sacrifices our comfort for Farhan's future." For Farhan, finding a good line of
work would serve to vindicate all the sacrifices his parents have made for him.

Raju

He belongs to a family distressed with genuine destitution. He is a decent understudy and since
his youth he has been encouraged to study engineering so when he turns into an architect and
finds a new line of work, he can bring in enough money for his family. Yet, he's especially
apprehensive and confounded about the thing he will do in the event that his arrangements don't
work out. This psychological pressure harms his evaluations in each test in school. Compared
with Farhan, Raju and his family live in far worse conditions - the scenes at his home losing
shading to produce on the grungy results of black and white 1950s cinema, "A little, dirty room,
a paralyzed dad, a coughing mother, an unwed sister, a couch growing springs and a 24 hour
water supply from the spilling rooftop." His family in this way anticipates that he should
concentrate hard and find a generously good line of work so he that may bring in enough money
for his sister's dowry, pay for his dad's treatment and medication and by and large assistance
upgrade his family once again from their wretched everyday environments. So extreme was the
weight looked by Raju that he continually various different divine b to help him with doing in his
exams. For Raju, a university isn't a foundation to get educated yet just a spot to get a degree that
will help him land a good job.

4 | SOCIOLOGICAL GLIMPSE OF THE MOVIE 3 IDIOTS

Ranchod,

A youngster with an unusual name and more interesting conduct which Raju and Farhan can't
figure out.Ranchod has a genuine passion for engineering yet he is by all accounts contrary to the
principles and disliking the educational framework constantly. Any place Ranchod goes, he starts
to lead the pack and Farhan and Raju follow on the grounds that Ranchod has an charismatic
character and he's fun to be near. Rancho's character in the movie was being a genius among
them as well as he's the optimistic one. He doesn't carry on with his life as per what the society
needs, he lives with his own rules. Among the three, he had been not scared of doing what he
believe is correct. Indeed, even the school's principal, Mr. Virus, had become his enemy. He may
look as a stubborn individual from the start yet as the movie advances until the end, you'll before
long understand that the character of Rancho assumes the job of individuals carrying on with
their existence with the information on understanding what they really need for their future. It
might appear to be hard from the outset in light of the fact that nobody will scarcely uphold you
of your decisions throughout everyday life except the character of Rancho will allow us to
reconsider of our life decisions. It doesn't imply that what the society directs, or even what our
parents needs us to do will shape our future. Indeed, they may understand what's good for us
however we likewise understand what we need. What's more, what we need will lead us to
success as well as to our life's fulfillment.

Dr. Viru Sahastrabuddhe

The school's strict chief known as "virus" and Pia and Mona's father who goes about as the film's
antagonist. He tenaciously adheres to a doctrinal strategy for teaching, putting him at odds with
Rancho. Toward the end, he is appeared to have changed his doctrinal techniques for teaching.
As the Director of ICE, he is both a teacher and father figure to all the understudies at ICE. Since
he is quite a critical figure in the film, Virus' faith in natural selection and disposing of
competition to make sure about one's place, additionally communicates the film's dominant

5 | SOCIOLOGICAL GLIMPSE OF THE MOVIE 3 IDIOTS

ideology and formula for success. The crowd is left with no uncertainty of Virus' drive and
focus. He is careful with his time the management – composing at the same time with two hands
and organizing his valet to give him a shave while he takes a seven and a half moment power rest
at definitely two o'clock every evening. Virus' "astronaut pen," given to him by the past Director
of ICE as a "symbol of excellence" additionally fills in as a validation (to Virus at least) of his
solid way to deal with life and tenacious quest for success. All things considered, as he gladly
announces at a certain point, ICE rose from a ranking of 28th to first during his 32-year tenure as
the school's Director.

Chatur Ramalingam

An Ugandan-Indian educated in Tamil-speaking Pondicherry who has little knowledge of Hindi,

and Rancho's opponent. His habit for being gassy because of consumption of pills to enhance his
memorisation acquires him the epithet Silencer. In the current story, he is VP of an American
organization (Rockledge Corporation) who finds his success being dominated by Rancho toward
the end of the movie. The film's entertaining antagonist Chatur plainly is an immense believer of
the dominant ideology of leveraging his university degree to make sure about a good job and
accumulate material wealth as an indication of success. Ten years after graduation, Chatur can't
hold on to gladly flaunt photos of the prizes he gained from his career as a businessman - a $3.5
million mansion, a living room with maple wood floors, a warmed pool, and a 6496cc
Lamborghini sports car.

Manmohan (nicknamed Millimeter)

a young adult, he makes money by doing errands for understudies, for example, laundry,
completing assignments, and getting staple goods. Rancho persuades him to purchase a school
uniform and sneak into school to pick up an education.

SYNOPSIS
This film is Based on Chetan Bhagat's novel, Five Point Someone (however just a miniscule part
has been adjusted from the book; the rest is all unique), here's an account of three companions
studying in an engineering school Rancho (Aamir Khan), Farhan (R Madhavan) and Raju
(Sharman Joshi).

Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi), and Rancchoddas "Rancho"
Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan) are three engineering students who share a room in an
hostel at the Imperial College of Engineering, perhaps the best school in India. While Farhan and
Raju are normal students from modest backgrounds, Rancho is from a rich family. Farhan needs
to turn into a wildlife photographer, however has joined engineering school to satisfy his dad's
desire. Raju then again needs to elevate his family fortunes. Rancho is an wealthy genius who
reads for its sheer delight. In any case, Rancho's passion is for information and dismantling and
building machines as opposed to the conventional obsession of different students with exam
ranks. With his diverse methodology Rancho brings about the rage of senior member of school,
Professor Viru Sahastrabudhhe (ViruS) (Boman Irani). Rancho disturbs his teachers by
furnishing imaginative and strange responses, and stands up to ViruS after individual student Joy
Lobo hangs himself in his quarters room. joy had mentioned an expansion on his significant
undertaking on compassionate groundships father had endured a stroke but ViruS can't, saying
that he, at the end of the day, was totally unaffected by his own child's unintentional passing
subsequent to being hit by a train. Rancho decries a futile way of life, vicious, thoughtless
repetition learning attitude of the organization, censuring it for Lobo's passing.

Rancho is the rebel among them continually addressing things and accepting that learning is
something other than the standard method of education.He urges his companions to look past the
normal and before long acquires the fury of the university chief Viru Sahasrabuddhe (Boman
Irani).

Notwithstanding his fun and skip around, Rancho consistently shocks everybody by fixing the
class. He even figures out how to win the warm gestures of the chief's little girl Pia (Kareena

Kapoor). Yet, Rancho's most prominent commitment lies is causing his companions to
understand their actual calling. The bend comes when on Graduation Day. Subsequent to being
granted the Student Of The Year title, Rancho bafflingly vanishes into oblivion.

A long time later, Farhan and Raju, finding a consistent idea, set out on an excursion to discover
their companion. 3 Idiots is an account of fellowship, expectation, desires and above all, the
integrity of life.

Like the perky All Izz Well tune drawing towards a shocking peak it's so keenly done that it has
the ideal impact. There are scenes that will make you laugh, they'll make you cry and they'll
make you think. The beginning to look all starry eyed at, the badgering by teachers, the mystery
drinking meetings, the ragging of individual students it's for the most part present. This movie
likewise sends across a message on student pressures yet there's no proclaiming here it's
completely done in a supreme style.

3 Idiots is diverse in light of the fact that each scene is unique and carries with it something that
is strange.

SEMESTER ASSIGNMENT- I

FAVOURITE CHARACTER AND WHY?

I want to be milimeter. A boy, from an under previledged class whom we regularly observe or
rather underestimate as our hostel lobby kid. He experiences childhood in the grounds watching
youthful engineering understudies mishandling and institute chief giving similar speech
consistently until he discovers Rancho whom he can help with making a "Virus Inverter", even
after being uneducated.

What's more, his relationship with Rancho. Rancho's recommendation to him,  “School Jane ke
liye bas uniform chahiye”, something what Rancho used to follow himself, is the best second. It
means, in the event that you need to learn, just your premium issues not cash . Milimeter turned
into his companion from their school days to the last possible second where, we find milimeter in
Rancho's school as his colleague. It was easy and encouraging that to be with a decent company,
you simply need the correct will to be in a correct place and that's it. Our inclinations choose our
place, not our money or economic wellbeing.

12 | SOCIOLOGICAL GLIMPSE OF THE MOVIE 3 IDIOTS

Once in a while, we covet the lives of Farhan, Raju thus and need our problems to be identified
with them and finally, feeling glad about it. . On the off chance that a kid, from an under
previledged segment can turn out to be such a huge amount of clear at his motivation, freed in
his contemplations and cheerful at an end, for what can't we? Our middle class problems are our
own comprehensions and that's it. A character like milimeter brings up that effortlessly.

SEMESTER ASSIGNMENT- I

WHY DO I LIKE THIS MOVIE ?

“3 IDIOTS” I like this movie because it was that only one movie that was out of blue and which
gave us some valuable lessons. Some of which are :

Real meaning of education

All through the film, Rancho taught us that education should make machines who remember
lessons without understanding it. He stated, "It is necessary that one should comprehend the
practical meaning too. What is the purpose of aimlessly cramming an academic definition?".

Encouragement to follow your heart

Rancho is a sort of a man who consistently attempt to encourage others. It flatters my heart
hearing him state to his friends to follow their heart and follow their talent. He even said that if
there is dread for the future, how might an individual enjoy the present? There are individuals

13 | SOCIOLOGICAL GLIMPSE OF THE MOVIE 3 IDIOTS

who seriously needed to take another program in college yet they proved unable. There are
additionally those people who need another profession however it stays untold. Rancho taught us
to seek after what our hearts need and what our expertise is for.

To be kind to everyone

Regardless of the fact that we are so near somebody or regardless of the amount we know in a
specific field, we will never think about somebody's struggles, so be kind. It is just single word
and one thing to do but can already help someone a lot.Being kind, sympathetic, and
understanding are three things we ought not fail to remember throughout everyday life.

Definition of true success

"Follow excellence and success will chase you," Rancho shared. It might not have been said in
words in the film however it taught us that chasing success isn't the way our lives expected to be.
All things considered, we need to follow excellence, do what satisfies us, and never waste chance
to apply what we realize throughout everyday life. At that point, success will just follow us.
Along these lines, carry on with a life that is worthy, in joy, and has a reason or significance.
Success isn't about what you noticeably hold on your hand.

SEMESTER ASSIGNMENT- I

CONCLUSION
The film's principle contention was that various pathways to success exist other than the
traditional ideology of working hard, acquiring a prestigious degree, making sure about a good
job and amassing material wealth. This story contains striking equals to how social
entrepreneurs, particularly our younger generation, settle on their pathways to success and what
this success implies.

The dominant ideology in India and numerous different cultures is that hard work and sacrifice
are the requirements for success in life and where the worth of a student is estimated by the
marks appeared on its report card yet little do we understand that marks apparently are numbers
which measure nothing but only the capacity to memorize things. Truly… this is a bitter truth.

14 | SOCIOLOGICAL GLIMPSE OF THE MOVIE 3 IDIOTS

Knowledge acquired but not applied become useless.. While 3 Idiots shows us an elective way to
success - one where inventiveness doesn't need to be sacrificed – the film by and by contains
some contradictory messages, both communicating this dominant ideology and challenging such
a worldview.

In India one should comply with one's parents and teachers to succeed in life and a few parents
even power their student to pursue a particular stream or job which in conclusion bring about
high suicidal rates which is essentially too high too pay which can be found in the character of
virus in this movie. 3 Idiots takes this belief and try to persuade the audience to have a second,
harder glance at this apparent creed. The film's portrayal of the connections among parents and
youngsters, just as teachers and students, feature the critical parts of this dominant ideology.

This movie is highly recommended to parents, teachers and students since it plainly means to
make an impression on its audience - parents and teenagers, teachers and students, old and
youthful the same - that it is conceivable to discover success in life, regardless of what sort of job
you get or what sort of life you wind up living.

The film's last message, "follow excellence and success will chase you, pants down"
