Exams Made Me Smart, Not Strong..

Prepared for Exams, Not for Life" is a thought-provoking short film that explores the harsh truth many students face in today’s education system. Directed by Poovendran, this powerful narrative uncovers the emotional and psychological weight of an academic journey that focuses solely on grades—while completely neglecting real-world skills, emotional intelligence, and life preparedness.

The story follows a young student who has always excelled in exams, memorized formulas, and filled answer sheets with textbook knowledge. But when life throws real challenges—like mental health issues, financial stress, emotional struggles, and decision-making dilemmas—he realizes that his academic success did little to prepare him for the unpredictable journey called life.

With relatable storytelling, cinematic visuals, and a hauntingly real message, this short film resonates with millions who have walked the same path—successful in school, yet lost in life.

This video is not just a critique of the education system, but also a wake-up call for students, parents, and educators alike. It raises important questions: Are we educating for the test or for life? Are we teaching to score marks or to build character?
