“Main Hoon Na \u2013 The Importance of Support During College” <\/p>\n

\"Main<\/p>\n

Growing up, I didn\u2019t understand much about my culture. It wasn\u2019t until I was in middle school that I really started to appreciate my ethnic background. Bollywood movies<\/a> changed my entire perspective on a hidden part of my identity that I had neglected to explore. I began to immerse myself in India\u2019s film industry, enamored by the music, dancing, and storylines. Main Hoon Na (I am there)<\/a><\/em> quickly became one of my favorite movies and a staple pick for family movie night. <\/p>\n

Main Hoon Na<\/a><\/em> explores the journey that a young soldier (Ram) takes to find his half-brother after the death of their father in the midst of a peace treaty between India and Pakistan. Indian terrorists threaten to destroy this peace and are after Sanjana, the Indian General\u2019s daughter, who happens to attend the same college as Ram\u2019s half-brother. Ram goes undercover as a student and must protect Sanjana without compromising his position for his half-brother. What follows is a charming and action-packed adventure that will test them all. <\/p>\n

College, especially after COVID-19, has proven to be a mental challenge for both students and professors. We continue to see deaths of college athletes by suicide and a rise in demand for mental health resources. We often forget that it\u2019s ok to reach out for help, and that we don\u2019t have to go through college alone. Main Hoon Na<\/a><\/em> is a reminder that we can lean on our support systems, no matter what. Although fictitious, every Bollywood movie has real-world lessons or morals to learn from. Ram\u2019s dedication to his family and his friends when they need it the most carries over into our daily lives \u2013 we can both give and receive support. <\/p>\n
