3 idiots

Story - 3 Idiots

The film is rumored to be loosely based on the famous novel, Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat, though denied by Hirani.

Two best friends (Madhavan and Sharman) go aboard on a quest for a long lost buddy. On their journey, they stumble upon a long forgotten bet, a wedding that they must crash, and then a funeral that goes out of control.

As they make their way through the terrifying landscape, a new journey begins: their soulful journey through the memory lane and the story of their beloved friend. A friend who’s an irrepressible free-thinker Rancho (Aamir Khan), who in his inimitable way, touched and changed their lives.

It's a story about their hostel days that swings between Rancho's romance with the spirited Pia (Kareena Kapoor), and his clash with an oppressive mentor, Viru Sahastrabudhhe (Boman Irani).

And then one day, all of a sudden Rancho vanishes. The friend, who influenced and inspired them to think creatively and independently, even as the conformist world called them three idiots, had disappeared. And what happens from hereon is a mystery. They do finally, in misty mountains of unparalleled beauty, find the key to the secret.

Kajol, who was supposed to play another lead role in the film will be making a special appearance.

Three Idiots is a laugh-riot that talks about the most important of human pursuits, self-actualization. The film is an insight into the life of these three IIT students, a comedy of ideas and promises to offer untamed entertainment.

The film is produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, who has a long time association with Hirani and has produced all his previous directorial ventures, whilst Abhijat Joshi and Raju Hirani have written the screenplay. The film's soundtrack is composed by Shantanu Moitra and the lyrics penned by Swanand Kirkir
