Initially, I wanted to watch My Name is Khan. Then my friend recommended the 3 Idiots. She said the film is different from other bollywood movies.

The story was about three students of a famous university, Imperial College of Enginering. They were the Rancho (Aamir Khan), Raju (Sharman Joshi) and Farhan (R. Madhavan). After they had attended the entrance test and beaten thousands of applicants, they must stayed in the dormitory until they complete their education. Their journey on this campus was not easy. The students were always learning under pressure to become the brightest. They were applied to correct the statement that learning is the same as what is written in textbooks. Plus an authoritarian president who was always boasting the university. Until no one dared to oppose.

Their presence gave a new atmosphere on campus. Ignorance they often made the Chancellor snarled, particularly the genius Rancho. His two friends who eventually suffered the consequences. Raju who was from poor families nearly expelled while Farhan who enter college because of her father's insistence that the more distressed when her father knowing Rancho’s annoyence on campus.

Indignation when the president was increasingly becoming Rancho ignorance and his friends occurred at his home. Moreover when the Rancho fell in love with Pia, the daughter of the rector. It couldn’t imagine.

Rancho naughtiness and his friends couldn’t make us stop laughing. But when their friendship meant to teach how to love and care for others, not a few spectators to tears. This film really gave a lot of lessons, particularly about what kind of learning it. Rajkumar Hirani, the director of this film managed to make the audience was thrown in the opposite emotions of love, affection, and sadness. Between laughing and crying.

This film gives satire on the education world, especially Indonesia, that learning is not only done by memorizing books. The film also tells parents not to impose their children. That is not the task of parents and teachers, they just guiding.

It’s right, when my friend told me that this movie deserves to be the best. So many moral message is clearly understood. But in subtle and coherently conveyed by the director. The film is worth educating and inspiring me this really recommend until whenever. If in such film Laskar Pelangi Indonesia or Denias continue to be developed, with a little courage in doing touched on the reality of education, I'm sure the results will be close to or possibly equivalent to the film.
