i think the best lesson from the movie was what one of them said at the end : go after excellence and success will pursue you pants down...

Yes. We should pay more attention to our pursuit of excellence; success will not be an issue .

This movie would have been perfect of not for the damn dancing interludes. Please why do Indians do that thing?

All is well

Great post OP dearpreye,

Learnt a lot of lessons from this movie which I'll try to summarise:
>> Knowledge is useless... without application. Rancho showed that over and over again. Knowledge is gleaning information from texts and other sources. Wisdom is in applying it to real life.

>> If you really desire to succeed, invest in people. This is not by giving them money alone. Give them your care attention, wisdom etc. Rancho invested in everyone around him even Virus his teacher!

>> Success does not guarantee lasting happiness. When you succeed, you're happy for a while, then you're chasing the next best thing. Chatur kept chasing the best grades but all he got were little doses of happiness. Lasting happiness can only be got when you help people.

>> Think out of the box in all situations. There's more than one way of getting into a house. If you cannot use the front door, find the backdoor. Rancho demonstrated this many times. A typical example is how he got centimeter into schools.

>> Failure should not be treated as a leper but as valuable learning experiences. Most of what we know today was through someone's failure or mistake.
Raju's many failures later redefined him. He got his epiphany after his failed suicide.

>> Lies catch up to you someday and having all the wealth in the world does not make you invincible. All the money in the world cannot buy a brilliant mind. The one thing even a slave can own is his/her mind.
Case in point is the fake Rancho who eventually took Rancho's ICE certificate.

There are many more that have been well elucidated already especially the value of true friendship.

BTW, have any of you seen RISHTEY? It's an old, old Indie movie as well but will it make you cry? Will it teach you lessons? And will it make you a better person?
YOU BET!

Edit: India has the highest student suicide rates in the world and 3 Idiots was/is a perfect tool to showcase the problem and proffer solutions to the burgeoning problem.
Nollywood again take a cue.

If someone ain't doing well, you can always encourage them.
You can be what you wanna be..There's no limit to what you acheive.
Follow excellence, success will chase you.

They do the damn dancing interludes because it's a strong part of their culture and they try their best to project their culture. Nollywood should take a cue from that and stop failing terribly at imitating Hollywood.

Thanks for penning the above viral lessons.

The lessons are actually almost endless.

Invest in people. It pays the greatest interest.

My best Indian movie...."The chicken is clueless about d fate of egg, will it hatch or become omelette?
.........
All is well

PAT4HOT:
The movie never miss in my laptop no matter how many times I have to format it....

I have learnt a lot from the movie among which u guys have mentioned already but one important lesson is dat life is a competition, u must struggle/strive to survive. "Even in the process of fertilization, u must struggle with millions of spe.rm cells for u to fertilize.....

that's Virus premise. I'll rather go wit Life isn't abt competitn

LOL.. YOU GUYS SHOULD CHECK OUT THIS BOLLYWOOD MOVIE.. "BILEU".. This movie can even make a saddist or socio-path to cry.

Its so strange. I bought this same film the very first day my ex gf visited me. As soon as we got home I put it on and she was watching it. She got so absorbed in the movie that she didn't eve pay me any more attention!!!!
I, On the other hand was so frustrated bcuz I wanted to be intimate. I couldn't watch it.
At a point she was crying. I was surprised bcuz I wasn't following.
But subsequently she never missed a day without watching that movie each time she comes over during the weekends. #Crazy!

Never let people talk you down, and never give up on your dreams: I can't really remember the name of that guy who built a drone/helicopter for his final year project, i believe if he never gave up on his dreams regardless the threat and nasty words from Virus, he would have realized his dreams.

Make your passion your proffession. Ever since i watched that movie i have focus more on programming which is my passion.

ALL IS WELL

That's courageous. Our wealth and happiness are in our passion.

Nice observation and contribution dear brother.

in addition to your comment, I learnt many other important lessons;

>>YOU CANNOT BE RIGHT ALL THE TIME. No matter how intelligent you are, there comes a time when you will be wrong while others are right. Just accept your fallibility and move on. Rancho asked why the scientist spent millions to invent a pen while they can use pencil in the space. But he forgot that there is zero gravity in the space which a broken tip of a pencil would damage.

>>NO MATTER WHAT, NEVER QUIT. Sometimes, we quit because we couldn't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Had we exercised little patience, we could have succeeded. Joy Lobo quited when he failed to meet the submission deadline for his project not knowing someone is already watching what transpired between him and virus and ready to help out. Be Patient

Lovely movie indeed. People cn try out these also- Ghajini, We're family



...bt wait ooo u cn also help me wit another Hindi & emotional blockbuster movie

This is one of my most favorite movies ever

dearpreye:

Joy Lobo. I QUIT!

Yeah Joy Lobo!

I cried and laughed.... I love watching it....Love that lead actor plenty

ladyF:

Dont be a wicked lecturer. Go to school to be smart and not for the paper.

I think you should reverse this statement like this: Go to school for the papers and not to learn how to be smart in life.
No teacher will teach you how to be smart. If you see people that are really smart, ask them and they'll confirm this.

Millimeter is now centimeter. Not centimeter, you are kilometer

Haven't seen Ghajini and PK but I'll address that soon. You can try Baghban, Black, Rishtey, Tathatsu (actually a remake of Denzel Washington's "John Q", and Kabhi Kuchi Kabhi Gham.

I shed tears at that emotional scene too. I love movies from that young India man Amir Khan, try see LIKE STARS ON EARTH too if u haven't

Great movie, I cant get tired of watching it.

Chase excellence and success will follow you.
