Bring cinema to life with a human touch

“The reason why IITs do so well is because they do a fine job of filtering candidates and they get the cream of students for input” says Agarwal to TSI. He points out that, “the basic flaw with the system at IIT is that it is very bookish…there isn’t enough faculty with industry or field experience. Let me clarify that I graduated about 35 years back and things have possibly gotten better now. Basically, back then there was a lot of inbreeding at IITs; after B.Tech, M.Tech, PhD, they’d start teaching. So it was very theoretical. The problem with the IITs is the same as that of most Indians – lacking when it comes to application/implementation.” It might as well have been Rancho speaking in the film.

“A lot of people in the world are disappointed simply because they feel life is passing them by just because they do what they don’t care about at all.” says actor Himanshu Malik, who has a degree from Delhi College of Engineering, but decided to pursue a career in modeling and films because his interest in engineering “waned”. Asserts Madhavan, “The whole idea is to let the child blossom when he is a kid and not put the pressures of academics but put the pressures of education on him.” Thoughts, which right now are pounding through a million minds, thanks to the sudden draft of the breeze that was “3 Idiots”.

It’s fairly simple to decode the Hirani formula, but like Coca Cola, very hard to replicate. Says trade pundit Taran Adarsh, “On a personal level I feel that his movies not only entertain but also enlighten and educate and I feel that's his mantra for success.” There are those three words again – enlighten, educate and entertain. And at this moment, only Rajkumar Hirani seems to know how to create a perfect blend of the three.
