Films that are special?

3 Idiots: Even though I was not an Engineering student in India, I have faced similar kind of situations here in Canada. Dealing with parents who have high expectations, trying to finish a curriculum in less than 4 months of time or fighting for the same job with 100 candidates, as students it has become a part and parcel of our lives. 4 years ago when I started applying to universities I had only 2 choices: study life science or engineering. I was pushed towards either becoming a doctor or an engineer (following on my dad's footsteps) from an early age. Up until this year my dad refused to see beyond the above mentioned career but thanks to my sister that has changed now since she refused to study anything but law.

Swades: Movie that makes you sit back and think. As an NRI myself I was to identify with the movie. The tough choices that we face regarding staying in a country you have lived in most of your life or going back to your homeland.

Dil Chahta Hai: Reminds me of the transition periods that I have faced and will face in life. The friendship between the 3 friends reminded me of my childhood and early school day sin India.

Hum Aapke Hai Kaun: One movie that I can watch with my parents, which is very rare now a days with the type of movies that are coming out. The movie also showed good amoutn if Indian culture and the lastly the movie makes me happy.
