There are a million ways to tell people that rote learning is shite without making rape jokes. Their pain and suffering should not be, as a matter of fact, cannot be used as a punchline.
#CHATUR 3 IDIOTS MOVIE#
The physical abuse alone would scar a person for life, not to mention psychological damages, coupled with stigma from society. A great memorable quote from the 3 Idiots movie on - Chatur: Definition of a machine - A machine is any combination of bodies so connected that. There are very real people men, women, trans people, hell children who suffer through this. These are just the cases that are reported by the way. Especially in a country where a woman is raped every 15 minutes.

It doesn't matter what your favourite stand up comedian says in the name of free speech, it's just not funny. These kids, most of whom want to be edgelords, grow up making these jokes, sometimes to people who have been victims, regardless of their intentions. Imagine, an entire generation of children has grown up watching this movie, has loved it and most likely thinks rape jokes are funny. And mind you, this is a film parents want their kids to watch. And why wouldn't they? Movies as popular as this only validate them. Source: Agent of ImaginesĪs a matter of fact, not just colleges, people make these jokes on every social media platform imaginable. Any woman who's ever stepped into an engineering college or any college for that matter in this country has been confronted with such lingo, often passed as jokes. And make no mistake, this isn't entirely fictional either. I mean, FFS, seriously? But despite the general acceptance it has received, this is a very misogynistic and sexist monologue.
This is a scene that was very well received by most of the audience, so much so, that even if you haven't seen the movie, you have seen the clip float around on social media, in whatever form it may be.
Our protagonist finds this out and in order to teach his friend a lesson messes with the speech, which leads to Chatur repeatedly accusing the Principal and the chief guest of committing gang rapes, much to everyone's amusement. But in order to impress the Principal, he hires a ghostwriter to write a speech for him. Rote learner Chatur Ramalingam is Tamil, so he doesn't speak Hindi. Source: Scroll Yes, it was a different time and all that but even then the jokes were out of line. But while we were all laughing at the Rancho's antics, the movie got away with passing of a bunch of rape jokes as humour. For the longest time, Aamir Khan's 3 Idiots has been hailed for his progressive coming of age drama.
