1. 3 IDIOTS – A MESSAGE

2. NO COLLEGE MEANT FOR IDIOTS
COLLEGE IDIOT
 An institution where  A Foolish Person.

Dictionary)
there school is over.
(Ref: The Webster’s Dictionary)
 A person too

 A place of professional capable of rational
study. (Ref: The Gala’s conduct. (Ref: The
Dynamic Dictionary) Webster’s Dictionary)
One listens to his heart and chase his dreams. For
this if he works as opposed to the worldly norms or
in a different manner, he is an idiot.

3. LIVE LIFE KING SIZE
• Live life as if there is no tomorrow.
• Life is the beautiful thing that happens
only to living
beings.
• Don’t die many times before death.

4. PHOBIA OF NEW PLACES
• Never fear of entering into new places.
• Once you fear, you lose everything.
• Fear is the greatest enemy of self
confidence.

5. LIFE IS A RACE……LAGE RAHO
• Run faster in the race of
life or else you will be
crushed by others.
•Win the race or vanish.
•No one remembers the
second person. All
remembers the first one.
• In this race ain’t we lagging behind the basic
essence of education????
• Education is for learning and not merely for
getting good marks, money making, U.S. visa, etc.
• One must be competent enough to win the race
but one must also enjoy the race and never forget
his aim of running.

6. EXAM ORIENTED STUDIES
 Our education system has become exam
oriented.
 Due to a lot of burden on students they cram
the books of their syllabus.
 Engineering colleges today teach their
students to "GET ONLY MARKS" rather
motivating the students to research, and
innovate in their field. The students have been
molded right from their childhood with this on
their head "Perform or Perish" . Such a
thought will no way help in one's betterment,
instead abet them only to get marks and not to
get the real essence of education.

7. WHY CRAMMING??????
=
 Are we studying to become parrots or wise
men?
 By cramming one can get marks but no
knowledge.
 What will we call ourselves after getting
degree??????
 Well trained OR Well educated?????? Its your
choice.

8. CHASE EXCELLENCE
SUCCESS WILL FOLLOW
• Education should be a means to gain
knowledge and chase excellence and not a
pursuit of success.
• Once excellence is achieved, success will
have to follow.

9. HOW TO ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE?
 In our society education has not been pursued
to enlighten one's inner self but merely to fetch
degree to earn bread and butter for the life.
 If hardly any one comes up with the idea of
dreaming , he is bitterly and seriously
challenged by the society.
 But suppose that same person is given a
chance to put his thoughts into practice , really
he can bring a positive change , because that
very work shall include in it the interest,
desire , motivation and keenness , thus the sum
of all these qualities will lead to EXCELLENCE.

10. IDENTIFY YOUR PASSION
?
• Every cloud has a silver lining.
•One must identify his passion and work to achieve
excellence.
•When your hobby becomes your passion and
passion becomes your profession, you will be able
to lead up to excellence in life.
•Satisfaction, pleasure, joy, love and fame will be
the outcome of following passion.

11. THINK DIFFERNTLY
 On the very first lecture, Rancho asks the head
fountain pen and ball pen don't work in space so why
didn't astronauts use a pencil in space. Lacs of
dollars could have been saved.
 The arguments put forth by Rancho like 'Chase
excellence not success and 'Yeh College Hai
Pressure cooker nahin' are something that would
have crossed through the mind of many youth for
whom their professional colleges are 'pressure
cookers' rather than the places of learning and
attaining excellence.
 “Salt water is a good conductor of
electricity” – This is taught in class 8
Physics. Everyone learns but only Rancho
applied.
 Winners don’t do different things. Rather they do

12. IMPORTANCE OF ONE WORD IN
COMMUNICATION
• Communication is the basic
essence of mankind by which
one person interacts with the
other.
• If communication dies,
everything dies.
• Each word has impact and
value in communication.
• One word if used wrongly or emphasized wrongly
or paused at a wrong place in communication
then its consequences could be horrible.
• This is well demonstrated in the silencer’s
speech.

13. INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP
• Veeru Sahast Buddhe or
Virus, the dean of the
institute in 3 idiots shows a
very typical leadership in
the movie.
• It is well said
that.”Leaders are made
not born.”
•Virus has his own principles, values and ideology
and he leads the institute accordingly.
• He believes that he has lead his institution from
sixth place to the first place.
• This is an example of current institutional
leadership.

14. DON’T BE A ROLLING STONE
•A rolling stone gathers
no moss.
• Listen to all but act at
your will.
“Madiralay jaane ko ghar se chalta hai peenewala,
Kis path par jaoon asmanjas mein hai wo bhola
bhala,
Alag alag path batlate sab, Alag alag path batlate
sab,
Par main ye batlata hoon,
Raah pakad tu ek chala chal,
Pa jayega Madhushala.” (Harivanshrai Bachchan)

15. PRESENCE OF MIND
 Presence of mind is required in each and every
walk of life.
 It is the only thing which proves your talent.
 Rancho proves this by saving the life of Pia’s
sister and the child by using vaccum pump.
 Life Is Emotion Management Not Intelligence
Optimization.
 Memory and regular study have definite value
and it always helps you in leading a life.
 With artificial intelligence, you can survive and
win but you cannot prove yourself genius.
Therefore, in this process genius dies in you.

16. CRITICS
 Many of the movie reviewers say that 3 idiots
misguides our youth and evokes a feeling of
disgust towards the present education system.
 But that is not the case.
 On the contrary, it talks about the most
important part of human pursuit: Self
Actualisation.
 It only provides a message to the youth to take a
lead and fill up the missing gaps in present day
education system.
 It gives a message – “Learn for a cause and not
for applause.”

17. CRITICS…..
 This movie is compulsory viewing for anyone
under 30 with a dream (that’s about 70 per cent
of a billion) because when our Prime Minister
referred to the potential of our young
population, he said (quoting Victor Hugo), “You
cannot stop an idea whose time has come”.
 The time for young India to think for themselves
has come.
 This movie is not challenging the system of
education, it is saying if you’ve ever had a
dream and a passion, follow it because your
instincts teach you more than any text book can.
Don’t be a machine, be an idiot.
 Being an idiot, I think this is much bigger than
just a film, it’s a cultural phenomenon.
