I think a main point that western audiences miss out on when watching indian movies like these is how important parents consider education to be for their kids. In an emerging economy like India's, most of the time the only way out of poverty or to escape the "middle class" is through education, or a technical degree or qualification and not based on connections or family businesses. And what jobs pay the most, well in the minds of an indian parent, they are either doctor or a software engineer. Hence this much importance of making their son/daughter an engineer or doctor.
@XLR8yeah , the invaders made us validation seeking servants, but don't worry we will come out of this, it's been just 75 years of independence after 800 years of physical and mental colonization and the process has started
Exactly. Except I would change 'Indian' for 'Asian.' A high pressure environment is unfortunately widespread throughout almost all Asian cultures. This movie shined a spotlight on that phenomenon.
Well software engineering is actually a good career path. But it highly depends on one's interest. As someone who is a software developer without a degree, I have found that I am able to excel in software development because it is something I genuinely enjoy and do not find difficult. On the other hand there are people in my company who have graduated with degrees in software engineering but struggle to solve problems and build logic. This is mostly because of the fact that they entered the field just to get a high-paying job or due to parental pressure rather than a genuine interest in software development.
@@siddharthsharma9283 Oscar wasn't the validation it was recognition you can't deny the fact that Oscar is biggest award show in the World we won that award bcoz we got recognition in western world nd nothing wrong in that.
the netflix subtitles always sck! even for kdramas they butcher the translation so bad when compared to other sites especially for this movie, they could've done the subs a lot better
@@ritz721 Exactly, they have genuinely ruined K-Dramas subs, specially when English is originally spoken by the Koreans in a heavy accent which requires subs.
@@ngultrum1 don't know about that part much but when they translate calling someone "hyung" (brother), with calling them with their real name i used to get so confused coz i am pretty sure i am hearing something else but then i realised it later that they replace it with names in the subs other sites don't do that with their subs and there are so many instances of it
Regarding what you said about following passion, I think the movie does not said that and tackle engineers also as necessity because only one of the three follow their passion outside of the engineering field, the photographer, Farhan. Rancho was never about money because he was sponsored but Raju chose to work in engineer because he needs it. Silencer also shown in the movie as successful man, he gets a good life that he wanted from the beginning. It's more about knowing yourself and how to learn to get more of the subject/knowledge than just following the book. It's about critical thinking in the centre and pressure to become the best is about how to be the best version of yourself. It's not about following your passion blindly, it's about pursuing excellent but it's also fine if you aren't the best of the best, you can always get what you want when you do your best. The movie started with the idea of competition and then develop into competing and crushing other, having one way to success but it doesn't mean that your success is always based on other's validation or following exactly what everybody did, it's fine when you aren't being the top of the top as long as you are content and at ease with your heart. Even the antagonist of the story like Suhaz, Silencer, Virus is also shown as successful in the eye of society and also by their own standard.
You guys really enjoyed, i enjoy you guys alot... As an Indian guy, i've Watch this movie again and again, What i like about you all we've same reactions😂, You guys Got my whole reaction when i watch for the first time. Thank you guys for your reaction on one of the best movie in india, Im subscribing right now. And I've watched pt.1 and 2.
This is the movie which i haved watched more than 30 times but still not bored. It might be just a movie for you guys but for me it is an emotion (all is well) ❤
So the pressure thing is underplayed in this movie. It's not just the families being dependent on the outcome, but also the chances of getting into an "approved" relationship, the comfort of your future generations and even the quality of education they might recieve. I was a student at PESIT (2013 - 2017), and there have been 4 suicides in 2023-24 with the most recent one being in January this year. We felt the pressure as well, but then my friends and I got into recreational drugs and alcohol, and then completely rebelled to the norms of trying to impress our families. I would focus completely on Math and Signal Processing, and not so much in the other subjects which would bring my average score down, and as a result would hamper my chances at finding a job. But fuck that. Thinking of what could have gone differently , if I'd stick with the norms; was a prospect that haunted me. And what still haunts me the most is, when I was a student here, I'd sneak onto the terrace of the building with friends and huck rocks into this nearby lake. And now, two of my juniors have jumped off it. The abuse of power, lack of passion and outdated learning methodologies / syllabi at educational institutes catering to a broader populus is very disgusting. We need a change. We do not need to cower and adhere to the echoes of our past.
When im watched this i was in my 2nd year highschool and this hit me pursue my dream in collage as asian this movie teach me how to respect your friend and love your passion. Now im graduated with honor and with my degree in broadcasting . Still this movie make a person change. ❤
Rang De Basanti is one of Aamir Khan’s best movie, btw it has the same cast as the three idiots in this movie. It is a drama with lots of comedy here and there. I think you guys will love it. One suggestion don’t watch the trailer before watching, the spoilers might ruin the movie watching experience.
Being an engineer myself. I can say that this movie is pretty much the closest to the reality of higher education scene in India. I enjoyed the hell out of my 4 years of graduation. The Hostel life with boys, the campus fuck-ups, getting drunk, bunking classes. But eventually each and every student of my batch has achieved something in there lives. Not all of them are core engineers now, some are Indian Civil services officers, some are musicians, photographers, tattoo Artists, freelancers, gamers and much more. I am glad that you got a peek into our lives as a Indian engineering student. Thank you Badd Medicine💕🫂
Did not expect this reaction at all! I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. Would have loved to see Oak's reaction to this too though :( But ya'll never disappoint! One of the most gut wrenching movies for me. Saw this as a depressed student and it hit me harder than I would have liked lol it's not everyone's cup of tea and it takes a while to get into so really glad you all enjoyed and laughed as much as you did. It was an eye opener for other parents and teachers over here. ❤ As always, loved hearing your thoughts. Been a subscriber since the Harry Potter reactions and have since looked forward to your uploads. One of my fave reaction channels to date! Hope you all would be open to korean dramas too. The Glory is something I'd love to hear your thoughts too.
This movie is almost 10 years old now but the impact it has had on our generation is just unsurmountable. It is a legacy at this point of time. Your review for it and understanding of it is just amazing. Thank you so much for that. Do watch the movie Dangal after this.
One of mind-blowing thing in this movie that's really impressed me is when raju was told to choose between his dad or rancho n he choose die n i was like woah 👀
Taare Zameen Par and 3 Idiots define education system and family dynamics so brilliantly in Asia. Asian parents are mostly very conservative, they want to escape their own miseries and only seek perfection. The best way out of all this is through higher education and you can’t come less than A+. The pressure is really high in Asian students that’s why there’s so much tension and many students ends up committing suicide to escape. Let’s not forget the bigoted system where you have to only remember the exact definition from books instead of understanding things clearly. These movies really changed the mindset of people and the education system in general.
When you got to the part where Chatur mentioned Phunsuk Wangdu, I was holding my breath and hoping you wouldn't be able to make (or even guess) the connection between Phunsuk and Rancho. Good thing you didn't, just to make the ending more impactful 😊
Gangs of wasseypur?😑😑, bhai unko language hi smjh nhi aane ki or usme language or slangs ka khel h saara. Dusro ne bhi react kiya h uss movie pr or kisiko achhi nhi lgi
I always believed that 3 Idiots is one of those movies that a person has to watch at least once in their life. Especially if you're feeling a little lost, I cannot recommend this movie enough. This has been in my top movies of all time for more than a decade now, and it never disappoints. Thanks guys for reacting to this 😁
This movie really covered everything from the friendships and lessons in life. I don't remember how many times i watched this even if it was a long movie.
I cried so hard at the "Dad will never agree" part because this is (or was) the reality of so many students in India and southeast Asia. Being a developing country that got out of a 200 year oppression which left it in ruins, education is seen (rightly so) as the means to break that circle of poverty. For a long time, only engineering or the medical field were seen as the only two viable options to pursue to have a good career. No one cared about the students' passions (as Farhan's here). This caused so much pressure on the students, and led to so many student suicides (as u saw in the movie twice). I myself was forced to study science coz what else are you gonna do? As the dialogue says, parents did not use to understand that their children could have other aptitudes or passions other than science. I'm lucky that I'm finally getting to do what I've always wanted to do, but there are still many students (especially in the poorer regions of the country) that don't get that option. Poverty and parents and society expectations are the reasons. However, the situation is much better than it was a decade ago, and this movie has played a huge role in that. It had the biggest cultural impact and has literally changed the lives of many students and the views of the people in India. It made people realise that engineering and medical weren't the only two options in the world. It helped change the country. Truly an amazing and necessary film.
it's not our parents fault cz they r saying true to some extend, if u want to blame blame our ancestors who get colonised along with the colonisers who still practice bad karma till this day
You should explore more of Mr. Perfectionist(Aamir), some of his masterpieces are PK(One of the highest grossing movie worldwide), Taare Zamin Per, Dangal(One of the highest grossing movie worldwide) , Lagaan(Oscar nominated).
@@Aro7241 I am mature enough not to argue with people who judge or think they know it all so i wont. My opinion is that it is BS becuase i genuinely think movie downplayed one particular religion more so than the actors own. glad you are enjoying your wokeness ... each to thier own.
as someone who's gone through the indian education system and is thinking of moving back to india, I'm really not looking forward to going back into the hamster wheel. good thing is that this movie did bring in a massive shift in the way of thinking w the parents and society at large. having non conventional jobs isn't looked down upon so much anymore as it is more looked at w curiosity. great reaction and insight! you guys understood most of the cultural humour as well so yay!
I'm glad to hear things are shifting. Back in high school my best friend was from Hong Kong and it was the same problem. Reading by age 2, writing by age 3, studying 16 hours a day, and so on. Meanwhile his father was working 18 hours a day to eventually send my friend and his sister here. It's a nightmare, but what do you do when you have so many people?
i think it’s really interesting how the subtitles said “michael jackson” and “mohammad ali” when rancho was really saying “lata mangeskar” and “sachin tendulkar” because the two latter people are famous in india but probably not known to the rest of the world
Not only one of the greatest Bollywood movies but one of the greatest movies of all time in my opinion. I have watched it multiple times throughout the years and it never disappoints. Some movies I can’t stand watching more than twice.
I recommend you guys react to the film PK, the one playing rancho is also the main lead in that film. But Imust say that movie might offend other people's because of it's plot, but I'm pretty sure you guys will enjoy it.
29:32 , yes, vacuum delivery is real, its commonly done when the mother is too tired to push the baby out. In fact, the vacuum cup is usually metallic rather than the rubber shown here
I don't know how much you guys related with this movie but i can bet that almost every Asian student can totally relate with the message of this movie and how education is pressured into us
Yesss I'm glad you're watching more Indian movies as a fan of Indian cinema myself! I wish Oak had seen this one too though as I think he would have enjoyed the messages 🙂 It's cute to see Answer do his research 😊 Indeed Aamir is one of the biggest names in Bollywood. He's one of the "3 Khans" (Aamir Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan) who have been 3 biggest Bollywood stars since the early 90s. Funnily enough they share the same family name and were born the same year but are unrelated. Shah Rukh is the biggest star out of the 3. Kareena is a wonderful actress. She comes from an illustrious family of actors going back to her grandpa Raj wjo was the biggest actor/director in Bollywood in the 60s and her great grandpa Prithviraj, also a renowned actor. I hope you guys can watch at least 1 or 2 Indian movies every month, there is SO MUCH great stuff to discover! Here a bunch of suggestions (these are all popular movies that got good reviews): *My Name Is Khan* (2010) drama set in the US. So that you get to discover Shah Rukh Khan now that you know Aamir. Also with Kajol, one of the most renowned actresses in Bollywood. Shah Rukh and her did a lot of movies together and are a much loved onscreen couple (and real life friends). *Bajrangi Bhaijaan* (2015) comedy drama with the 3rd Khan, Salman 😊 Also with Kareena. Written by SS Rajamouli's dad, who also wrote RRR and Baahubali! *Dangal* (2016) sports drama based on real events. With Aamir Khan. He went through big body transformations for the role, there is a video called Fat To Fit documenting the process. *Kaithi* (2019) action movie. The director mentioned Die Hard as an inspiration *Vikram* (2022) follow up to Kaithi, not a sequel but rather a spin off. One of my favourites movies of last year. With 3 super famous and super talented actors. You would get a kick out of these movies I'm sure! A 3rd one is planned. *Thallumaala* (2022) my fave movie last year after RRR! Super fun action movie, VERY creative, comic book inspired, amazing soundtrack! *Super Deluxe* (2019) hyperlink dark comedy/thriller, a unique movie, a bit eccentric, lots of fun! Also a great cast including the Queen Mother from Baahubali 😊 *Udta Punjab* thriller/dark comedy about the drug problem in the Punjab region, with Kareena + Alia Bhatt in a stunning performance (she played Sita in RRR and, not exaggerating, she is one of the best actresses in the world right now). Also with 2 male actors you don't know but who are very famous and talented. *Raazi* (2018) spy thriller based on a real story, also a great performance by Alia Bhatt. *Drishyam 1 & 2* I would suggest watching the Malayamam originals but the Hindi remakes may be easier to find. Mystery/thriller but the quiet type that makes you think and trying to guess. *Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara* (2011), fun and fresh road trip/buddy movie with some food for thoughts. *Eega* (2012) another blockbuster by SS Rajamouli 🙂 I would also strongly recommend the Amazon Prime series *The Family Man* , it follows a cop and his team trying to catch terrorists, it's a great show that has become known for featuring amazing long takes. A 3rd season is planned. And if you ever want to do something very out of the box and watch an old classic, I would suggest *Awaara* (1951) with Raj Kapoor and Prithviraj Kapoor (Kareena's grandpa and great grandpa), also directed by Raj. It's a social/crime drama that had big international success. It was nominated for Grand Prize at Cannes Festival. It's a great movie 🙂
I think there’s a misunderstanding, the movie isn’t saying forget about education, rather it’s saying be courageous in discovering and pursuing what YOU’RE talented at. It’s not to throw away your career, just don’t accept a life someone dictates for you when you have a clear talent because being true to yourself will keep you happy and allow you to contribute to society more meaningfully. Just like how our genius inventor was sharing the blog posts and photography with his students.
We all know SS. Rajamouli is one of the biggest director in India but Rajkumar Hirani is one of the best indian director. He doesn't have a single flop in his career. Great director, great movie.
@@litmus2450both are great. You cannot underestimate SS. Rajamouli when we know this was the idea of Chetan Bhagat book It's great that hirani sir made such good dialogue and added story to it. SS. Rajamouli is a class director. His work is damn detailed and it need art to do that.
In India you have only two options..... Engineering or Medical ( in most cases) !! And the dude in middle is saying that if all people will follow their dreams then there's will be no engineers..... I think many people have dream to become engineer too ( as Rancho in the movie ) .... That's what movie want to say
And Raju too. That's one of the things I love about the film. You have Rancho who loves engineering and is naturally gifted, Raju, who loves it but has to work extra hard at it, and Farhan, who is pretty good at it but doesn't like it much.
Really loved your reaction guys... Wasn't expecting this movie reaction... I'm glad you did. My fav movie. I guess it's time for Dangal reaction since 3 Aamir Khan Movie has started here.
Aamir khan movies that you should must watch:- 3 idiots, Range De Basanthi, Lagaan, Taare Zameen Par, Sarfarosh, Dangal, Mangal Pandey. All must watch.
Of course the world needs doctors, engineers etc. But when you are asked to follow your passion, those are included. Engineering, medicine, even education itself are passion for some after all. Always enjoyed this movie and your reactions as well. Amir Khan's movie always includes some teachings. Taare zameen par is also one of my favorites. Try it out if you have time please!
Sometimes these issues of engineer, doctor might looks shallow or frivolous, not as deep to non Asians but it's so true. This toxic chokehold and old mindset of "you only have a worthwhile career and life if you're an engineer/doctor" is so HEAVY over countries like India, this movie isn't even an exaggeration. Now that I'm experiencing it myself, I can first hand relate to this. Even my father, a very stoic guy, who's an engineer by education deeply resonates with this film. It's literally targeted at his generation lmao
one of the things that is so good about this movie is that you can never get bored of it, instead the more you watch it the more you like it because you realize how each and every small detail which you would think unnecessary otherwise is linked with the larger plot of the movie in such a manner that it comes together beautifully.
Excellent reactions ! You were probably the first ones to predict a lot of the twists! 👏👏Impressive how well u followed the story and got invested in it! Enjoyed watching the movie again with you ! Here’s to more reactions! Cheers !! 👏👏😀
You can’t really hate any character in this movie even if they are sort of villains. They also somehow depicts real situation, necessity of people. Actually, they are not villains, system is the villains, society is villains, class difference, income difference, lifestyle difference is the villains. Power dynamics of world is villain. Social issues like poverty are villain. We have to fight them The only person I hate in this movie were those who were ragging freshers.
The movie is actually inspired from true person his name is 'Sonam Wangchuk' he is a scientist just as interpreted in the movie in Ladakh U should definitely check him out he has a RU-vid channel named Sonam Wangchuk' 😊
Hi! Since you're so open and nice to watch foreing things, I will recommend a movie from my country, Brasil, that I would like a lot to see your reaction: Bacurau. Please!
