It was really bad what Pia did with Price tag in 3 Idiots. - Page 2

It's that she ditched him, then got back with him when she thought Rancho was not an option, then ditched him again when Rancho was back! Total user.

Bollywood - actually commercial cinema around the world - has this bad habit of denigrating values like hard work and prudence, and the success which might come with said values is mocked. See: 3I, ZNMD.

While it is true that following your dreams can get you creative fulfillment, it is also true that 95% of those don't succeed. I'm sorry, but society/family has a right to expect you not to be a financial drag on it as long as you're an able-bodied adult. If you're so fond of your dreams, work on the side to support yourself instead of running off and expecting your parents to support you. If you want to be treated as an independent adult, be an independent adult.

Worse for me is the billionaire reforming trope in books and movies. OK, so the guy has already made his money😆, so the lady (it is mostly male billionaires) can now show him how to spend it. Talk about hypocrisy!

OMG. THIS!

Its easy for Arjun in ZNMD to listen to Zoya's life advice and go on holidays around the world with her. He has already made his millions! Will the same apply to a guy who is just starting out his career and just about gets by with his salary?? NO. A guy like that would think twice before spending his money on a mere uber ride!

The free spirit types in movies usually go for the rich dudes or dudes who have some alternate source of income which is not revealed on screen. 😆 Not for guys who actually need to work for a living. So Uber ride types shouldn't even bother to apply.

One of the reasons I loved Yes Boss is that the working dude got the girl who was also a working type.

I have a feeling these commercial writers somewhere look down upon regular jobs folks, there is inherent superiority of we are doing creative work, while day jobs working people are these low creative self ,who spend all their life busy doing work and there isn't hard work etc.involved.

If we look from moral perspective, there were many wrong things, and Pia ditching price tag won't even make into top 10.

First, that balatkar joke was not cool, but people laughed at it. If we stop laughing and look at the meaning, it's horrible.

Getting degree with fake identity.

Breaking into office and stealing confidential documents like Question papers. No sob story would justify it.

That virus guy was not a Teacher/Principle, but he was a bully who used to pressurize students to commit suicide...
