“3 Idiots” in ragging row

The Maharashtra government will watch Aamir Khan’s blockbuster “3 Idiots” to judge if ragging has been glorified in the film and may ask the censor board to delete such scenes that could promote the menace. One of the scenes from the film showed freshers played by Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi and Madhavan being ragged by their seniors in the hostel.
