In a recent news Maharashtra government will watch Aamir Khan-starrer '3Idiots' to judge if ragging has been glorified in the successful Bollywood film and may ask the censor board to delete such scenes that could promote the menace. 

http://www.boloji.com/society/068.gif

The state government move on Monday came amid reports that the nature of the ragging incident in a medical college here was similar to a scene in the blockbuster.  As ragging has caused so much pain for many where many have gone to extremes and students have committed suicide due to ragging incidents in colleges. And there would be many who would have watched the movie by now, what do you think poeple, does "3 Idiots" movie promote ragging? do share your views.

I think yes, In a way they have promoted ragging here, though the scene is a funny one, but people do such things, and already a similar incident has been reported in a Medical college somewhere in the country, and only this incident was reported, but believe me there would be many incidents like these in many colleges but most of them dont come out in light, but many students will suffer, though ragging was done to create a bonhomie culture among the students, but many take advantage of it and we have seen many implications of it. So even small things in this regard makes big impact, so when a movie like 3 Idiots was having that scene, and literally most of the youngsters would have watched, yes the movie promotes ragging which is not good.

You cannot promote anything in a movie except the face of reality! There are so many cases of murders, ragging deaths, suicides, rapes, robberies etc. Does that mean that its only films which promotes these anti social activities??? Does the junta have no iota of intelligence to understand the good from the bad?? Why does it have to be that films face the brunt of all the misgivings that the people conduct in society??

Its a very thin excuse that people are attributing it to. Films are meant for entertainment and they could be in various forms of rality, thrills, drama, romance etc.... So please lets stop being so pathetic to offer excuses for ouyr LACK OF INTELLIGENCE!!

Unfortunately yes! Though the film don't glorify these things(Otherwise they will be censored) but they really provide new ideas. We have example of Munna Bhai MBBS, only after a few days when the movie was released some students were caught cheating in examination in the same way wearing earphones which the Hero did in that movie.I can give you many more!! There are only some movies like "Chak De India"which shows that it needs hard work and dedication to be a Hero, others just show glamour and provide dreams not hoe they are achieved.Teenagers of 16-18 are not matured enough to understand that its only for entertainment. Sometimes they take it seriously. Some bad things things shouldn't be shown, instead they should be corrected.

I agree to the fact that it did promote ragging but also showed how one can deal with it .Also by banning the scenes wont help because this is an age old practice .This movie does not inspire to do those things but shows a way how to deal with it .

There are lot of chances to follow such type things. Already medical colleges are worst in ragging and watching this type of movies mens, just encouragement only.

Shipra good points, I support you. Ragging is been happening everywhere and this movie is not going to initiate it. It was just added for fun and was also not offensive. So just watch and enjoy the movie friends.

Ragging is an age old "parampara" and "3 idiots" is just born. Movies usually show what is already happening. People here are talking as if, if the movie has not included the ragging scenes, people watching the movie would not have known what ragging is or it still  happens in colleges, big b schools, universities, etc.....

Instead of taking the message home that life and studies is far beyond books alone some people seem to have taken home the message that the ragging shown in the movie would have an adverse effect... I don't think it can get more funnier here!!

We have not had a movie such great in a very long period. The movie is made to almost perfection. It is better to have fun watching this great movie rather than pointing out things which are not even relevant.....

Fully agree with Mr. Bhave that films are meant for Entertainment only. 3 idiots have lots of good things also i.e. about excellence approach.. about practical life...

Had any body seen that somebody said that film is promoting good habbit ?... No.

No, i don't see anything in this movie that promotes such as ragging. In fact, i feel this should be an example to those who get into ragging others and don't realize to what extent that would lead to. The good should be taken and not the bad. Every movie has good and bad scene which directly or indirectly is affected to the general audience but why every time the bad is highlighted and not good. This movie is an excellent way to show the Management and those parents who really don't know to what extent their words can affect their children. ...... Thank you, Manish N

Cheers!!

No certainly not.Do you want to mean that before releasing '3idiots' there was no such concept of ragging?Then we should feel proud to have such film maker and simultaneously we should agree that we people are of without brain,we actually are influenced by movies,rather our life and lifestyle depends on those.is'nt it?

It indeed is rediculous to debate on such trivival issue. An incident is shown in a movie, keeping in view the over all storyline.....how can one even jump to discuss such things? If we conclude logically, it simply means that we can not show anything in the movie without being judged. As a matter of facts in most of the movies the romantic relationshps are shown to lack anykind of deapth....should we say, films are promoting promiscuous relationships or glorifying rapes or promoting villains? It sounds funny but in most of the movies, villains seem to be winning and getting away with rapes and murders till the last scene...then how do we interprete it? Someone in government does not know the meaning of movies. It is shown as part of graduation process and even if we look at it myopically, it does not "promote" ragging but make us take it in very light and affirmative manner.....Movie making is going to be a frightening exercise........!
