A few weeks ago, a video circulated on social media showing a man sitting on a bench in a park. He was holding what appears to be an expensive camera. Suddenly, without warning, three men approach him and proceed to grab the camera from his hands before running off. The man shouts after them as they walk away with the camera: "My baby's worth more than this!” This occurred because the three men stole the expensive iPhone from his handbag that he carried around all day long without realizing that it was there. This is the same with our lives. We carry money around with us, but where is our soul? Are we so busy living in the fast lane that we do not realize what we are doing? Is the value of 3 idiots better than our soul? The film is set in Pune, India, and depicts some of the cultural mores of Indian society despite how outdated some of them may be. The movie speaks to everyone on some level for it deals with social issues that are relevant today more than ever before. The film begins in 1971 in Pune, India. Farhan Qureshi (Ridhhi Patel) is a university student who is interested in poetry and photography when he meets Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi), an electrical engineering student. Although their meeting was unpleasant at first, they become friends after Raju corrects Farhan's pronunciation of his name "Raju" with the proper pronunciation "Rajoo." The movie then moves to 1988 when Farhan (Aamir Khan), now 32 years old, still lives with his parents, who are ignorant of his passion for poetry. Raju (Sharman Joshi) is married to his wife Preeti (Payal Ghosh) and they have a son called Bunty. Farhan, Raju, and Farhan's best friend Madhav Aamir Khan (Mayank Tewari) are all unsuccessful in life except for Farhan who is a Hindi-to-English translator at the government's publishing house, "Bawarchi". One day when he goes over to Raju's place for dinner with Raju and Preeti, Bunty tells him that his parents seem intent on having another child if he does not get into engineering. Farhan's parents want him to become a lawyer instead of a poet, and Madhav advises Farhan not to take his parents' opinions too seriously. After Farhan leaves Raju's house, he gets into an argument with a man from the local government claiming that Farhan does not have the right to translate text from Hindi into English. In an attempt to prove his point, he sends a number of pages of text from the "Bawarchi" books which Farhan transcribes. The government employee then destroys all this work saying that it is blasphemy. 8eeb4e9f32 26
