5. 3 Idiots (2009)

1. 
   Indian cinema’s one of the best films 3 Idiots was directed brilliantly by Rajkumar Hirani. The film shows the struggle that a student passes through during pursuing a high demand course like engineering. The film taught us to be happy always in what you are doing. Rancho (Aamir Khan) in the film teaches us many things and one such head towards your goal without bothering about the success or failure that will come with it. The college life of Aamir Khan, R. Madhvan, and Sharman Joshi also gave us a nostalgia ride of our college days.
