3 idiots

As I have said before, many bollywood movies contain a lot of cultural meaning. The following movie is probably the best example that I can think of. It was made to address the issue of the educational system in india. In India the value of education is respected. And the best possible thing that a son or a daughter could do is become a doctor or an engineer. So a kid his whole life would be give those two options to chose from. Other jobs have no value as they are not as high paying. So parents force their kids to get into universities and pursue a career from between the two. However due to the number of people in india, the number of admissions are very limited. Thus there is high competition, Very high competition. Kids would study their entire youth for these entrance exams. And if they don't pass, A lot tend to commit suicide. This movie focuses on this exact issue. How parents in india need to allow their kid to chose their career path. It was a brilliant film and well executed.
