Well some time ago I posted some points regarding the movie 3 idiots and got some very interesting comments.
I enjoyed them so much that here i wish to share one of these written by Parmesh.

hahahaha sir your points stand countered.
first Chetan Bhagat wasnt seeking credit he was seeking publicity which he got in the end went home happy and gay. After all he wanted his book 5 point someone and the latest book to sell like hot cakes. The fact that it was a publicity gimmick was proved when in tbe end Bhagat silenced himself by apologizing when he realised that he ahd got the requisite publicity. The magnitude of credit which was his due he got as his name appeared in the end of the movie. As per the movie contract also there was no such clause where it was written that Bhagat's name shall appear in bold and that too in the beginning. Also he was paid the requisite money as the story was bought all in accordance with the rules.
second the movie doesnt deride either the students,their parents or the teachers. There is elucidation of the fact that those children who resort to rote learning and just mug up at the last minute dont always make for intellectual individuals.
Also these days parents have imposed streamline careers for their offsprings. Either the child must be a doctor or an engineer. Dabbling in other fields means wastage of time. Such parents must be ridiculed in the right earnest. Children should carve out careers in those fields where their interests lie not where their parents' intersts lie.
Raising the points of teachers. Although teachers want their pupils to scale unparallel heights but they must not encourage so much competition and a cooker environment where there is no scope of innovative thinking. Teachers of this type were made fun of in the movie ie those who lay emphasis on only book reading.
There is no adulation for and glorification of outrageous and lethargic students. Since the core interest of those students laid elsewhere they did not develop interest in what was taught to them and once they delved into a field which was their cup of tea they became successful a very plausible and true notion which holds true even in our cases.
I only agree with your last point that its a good comedy. It also highlights the flaws of the system in a very satirical way, the best way to leave an impact in a country like India.
The conclusion is that parents who impose strict regulations on their children must be ridiculed, others who are liberal and carefully gauge and assess the limitaions of their child must be applauded.
Because profession must be such that u derive pleasure while working so that eventually monetary satisfaction can also be reached.and thats what this brilliant movie signifies. Those teachers must be applauded who closely monitor their pupils' progress and do their duty well by explaining their subject so well that a laggard can also grasp what is taught, other teachers must not be cynicized but seen as flowing with the tide, since their criticism would be wrong.
Those students must be mauled who waste the teachers' and their parents time and money by being in the field in which they have talent but still lack the desire to excel and exhibit lack of hardwork and patience, others who work hard and know their destination must be doffed hats at.
Anyways its the point of view and consciousness that matters. Being a movie critic I analyzed the movie to the core and understood its hidden meaning to the full and found out that it counters just those points which are written as drawbacks in this blog entry.
