3 Idiots perfectly exemplifies Hirani's filmmaking strengths. The film's central narrative revolves around three engineering students, Farhan (R. Madhavan), Raju (Sharman Joshi), and Rancho (Aamir Khan). Farhan and Raju are burdened by the immense pressure to excel academically, mirroring the anxieties many students face in India's competitive education system. Rancho, on the other hand, embodies a more unorthodox approach to learning, prioritizing understanding and passion over rote memorization. His unique perspective and unconventional methods challenge the status quo and inspire his friends to re-evaluate their goals.

The film's popularity can be attributed to its relatable themes. It resonated with audiences not just in India, but across the globe. Students grappling with academic pressure, parents yearning for the best for their children, and individuals seeking to pursue their true passions all found a connection with the film's message. 3 Idiots sparked conversations about the importance of fostering creativity and critical thinking in education systems, and the need to encourage students to follow their passions rather than solely focus on grades and societal expectations.
