Pakistani-origin entrepreneur books 250-seat US theatre for 3 Idiots screening; here’s the reason
In a world where people are constantly talking about work pressure, confusion about career choices, and the need for a break from routine life, a familiar Bollywood film has once again found its way back into public discussion. The reason is not a new release but a special screening announced in San Francisco that quickly caught attention online.
The initiative was announced by Farza Majeed, a Pakistani-origin entrepreneur based in San Francisco, who shared details of the event on X.
“I rented out a 250-seat theatre in SF to screen one of the best movies ever: 3 Idiots,” he wrote.
He also described the film as “a beautiful story set in India about 3 friends trying to figure out wtf to do with their lives.”
Majeed said the screening is not just an event but something he personally connects with. He shared that the film had a meaningful impact on him, and he wanted others to experience it as well.
“If you're in a rut, need some inspo, or just want a laugh, come watch,” he wrote.
The announcement quickly gained attention online, with users sharing their reactions and memories related to the film.
One user commented, “Make sure people are allowed to whistle and cheer; otherwise it's not a true screening.”
Another user wrote, “3 idiots one of my all-time favourites!! So epic! yeah this one definitely pulls you up :) I could hear the ‘All Is Well’ song in my head the moment I read this post.”
A third user shared, “Seen this movie 30+ times, and it still makes me laugh – I don't think I've seen a movie that encompasses so many themes like this one does to this day.”
