3 Idiots (2009) is a popular Indian film directed by Rajkumar Hirani, which follows the journey of three engineering students, Rancho, Farhan, and Raju, at the Imperial College of Engineering. The movie highlights the pressure-filled environment of a competitive education system, where students are often judged by their academic performance rather than their creativity or passion. Through humor and heartfelt moments, the film explores the importance of following one’s dreams and the destructive consequences of chasing societal expectations.

The story unfolds as Farhan and Raju search for their missing friend, Rancho, who left the college years earlier. Through flashbacks, they recall the valuable life lessons they learned from Rancho, who challenged the traditional norms of education by encouraging them to focus on understanding rather than memorization. 3 Idiots not only critiques the flaws of the education system but also celebrates friendship, resilience, and the pursuit of happiness, making it a deeply inspiring and thought-provoking film that resonates with audiences worldwide.
