When did the last time you had the feeling while watching a Bollywood movie that you are watching the best film ever and then suddenly after the movie gets over you start to get mixed feelings about the movie you saw. Admit it; it has frequently been this way. And then what do you do, you go to watch the movie repeatedly to reinstate your earlier feeling about the movie. The hysteria and invincibility that Bollywood makers manage to create in their storytelling, is what makes it so special. "3 Idiots" is the latest of such hysterical movie with such aura around it.

Rajkumar Hirani"s latest offering is based on a popular cult novel "5 point someone" by Chetan Bhagat". So, it"s easy to have lot of expectations for this film right? Wrong! See, this is not Chetan Bhagat"s first novel adaptation to the big screen, it"s his second. The first one was a disaster called "Hello" based on his book "One night at a Call Center". Hence, there were lots of apprehensions about his latest book to screen adaptation. But hopes were there for the creative team for the film production and the star of the film Aamir Khan. Both Rajkumar and Aamir have impeccable record and status in the industry. Hence, the opening they got for this film was not surprising, even with the steep Ticket prices. But, when the word of mouth began that this is the best bollywood movie ever made, the expectations crossed the limits. And the film about three engineering students in Imperial College of Engineering (a.k.a. a reference to Indian Institute of Technology) does not disappoint. The story is with difference, but the characters are clichéd and true stereotypes of their species. Even the several of the movie sequences that make us laugh in the movie are far beyond being original. But the story is new and relevant to today"s youth. Engineering and medical fields of study has started to take a toll on today"s youth and the more than half a dozen student suicides that you would witness and hear in the movie is not at all a overreaction. It is turning into an epidemic; hence this film is definitely important. The young India is lapping up the support this film provides to their cause with great hysteria and is enjoying the many jokes and potshots the movie takes on the countries rigid educational system and social norms. The quirky and over the top turns that the lives of these idiots take is bringing joy and happiness to the young India. I should mention the best written character and surprisingly the best actor of the film "Chatur". Chatur is the typical Indian student that one sees around the campuses of Indian Colleges. Played by newcomer Omi Vaidya, it is the character the audience loved to see fail. Though he does not, his sequences have brought cheers across college campuses in India. The hysteria of "3 Idiots" becomes easy to decipher for the Indian audience and hence they are flocking the theater with large numbers and are cheerfully encouraging the next person to go watch the film.

For rest of the world this film is irrelevant and has nothing new to offer in terms of the movie flow and character development. But if they are able to put that aside, they would too probably enjoy the funny moments that this movie provides and would end up saying that this is the best Bollywood film they have ever seen

印度一個(gè)富人家有個(gè)小傭人從小愛(ài)讀書(shū)，這個(gè)富人就讓這個(gè)小傭人用自己兒子的名字“蘭徹”去讀書(shū)，富人出錢(qián)，條件是冒名頂替拿到畢業(yè)證書(shū)后，小傭人就得消失。

蘭徹去大學(xué)報(bào)到的第一天就做了個(gè)簡(jiǎn)易的導(dǎo)電裝置，捉弄學(xué)長(zhǎng)，讓大家瞠目結(jié)舌，也顯出了他的與眾不同。蘭徹始終靈活學(xué)習(xí)，不拘小節(jié)，不會(huì)死記硬背、像完成任務(wù)般學(xué)習(xí)，雖然老師、院長(zhǎng)長(zhǎng)不喜歡他，但他的成績(jī)始終排第一，惹得一個(gè)叫查圖爾的學(xué)生（此人擅長(zhǎng)死記硬背、討好老師、院長(zhǎng)）很妒忌。

蘭徹有兩個(gè)室友萊俱（想當(dāng)工程師，但是沒(méi)自信，迷信神佛）和法涵（熱愛(ài)攝影，但迫于家里壓力而上工程學(xué)校）。三人關(guān)系很好。

萊俱家里很窮，學(xué)習(xí)上的不如意讓他想要遠(yuǎn)離蘭徹，但是某天萊俱爸爸病重，蘭徹在琵亞的幫助下把他及時(shí)送去醫(yī)院，萊俱對(duì)此很感激。三人又在琵亞的幫助下趕到學(xué)校參加了考試。老師說(shuō)他們遲到不愿意收他們的卷子，蘭徹在確定老師并不記得他們名字和學(xué)號(hào)的情況下，弄亂卷子，趁亂把卷子混進(jìn)去，三人迅速逃走。

查圖爾要演講，因?yàn)榈胤讲町?，他不?huì)說(shuō)那種正宗的語(yǔ)言，于是找人翻譯，他死記硬背，蘭徹他們偷偷換了他稿子里的詞，使查爾圖在眾人面前出糗。查爾圖向蘭徹挑戰(zhàn)，十年后兩人在學(xué)校天臺(tái)相聚，比誰(shuí)賺錢(qián)多。

3個(gè)人有一天喝酒喝多了，晚上到院長(zhǎng)家門(mén)口小便，后來(lái)被發(fā)現(xiàn)了，院長(zhǎng)逼他們退學(xué)，后來(lái)找到萊俱和法涵，說(shuō)只要跟蘭徹?cái)嘟^來(lái)往就可以放過(guò)他們。萊俱左右為難，最后在院長(zhǎng)辦公室跳樓自殺，后搶救過(guò)來(lái)，但遲遲不醒，法涵和蘭徹想盡辦法，如給萊俱媽媽買(mǎi)新的紗麗等，看到萊俱對(duì)于錢(qián)有反應(yīng)的時(shí)候，蘭徹騙萊俱說(shuō)法涵愿意免費(fèi)娶萊俱姐姐，結(jié)果萊俱竟然醒來(lái)了。

為了怕萊俱考試過(guò)不了再想不開(kāi)，蘭徹和法涵在琵亞的幫助下溜進(jìn)院長(zhǎng)辦公室偷試卷，最后還是被發(fā)現(xiàn)了，蘭徹被迫在一個(gè)雨夜離開(kāi)，巧遇琵亞的姐姐要生孩子了，困在路上，于是大家把產(chǎn)婦轉(zhuǎn)移到大學(xué)里。

琵亞的弟弟本想當(dāng)一個(gè)作家，但是被院長(zhǎng)逼著當(dāng)工程師，最后跳火車(chē)自殺，得知院長(zhǎng)要逼走蘭徹，琵亞離家出走。

蘭徹用手機(jī)聯(lián)系琵亞，琵亞通過(guò)電腦指揮他們?nèi)绾谓由?，中途停電了，蘭徹拿出了他自制的發(fā)電機(jī)，又用吸塵器和清潔鏡頭的氣囊制造了一個(gè)幫助吸嬰兒出來(lái)的機(jī)器，最后順利接生出一個(gè)小男嬰，當(dāng)大家以為是死嬰的時(shí)候，眾人的一句句“一切順利”，讓孩子活過(guò)來(lái)了。院長(zhǎng)對(duì)他們釋?xiě)蚜耍言洪L(zhǎng)的院長(zhǎng)留下來(lái)象征榮譽(yù)的鋼筆給了蘭徹。

蘭徹要萊俱摘掉迷信的戒指，自信點(diǎn)去面試，要法涵去當(dāng)攝影師，兩人要求蘭徹跟琵亞表白才肯答應(yīng)。最后三人均如愿。

可惜畢業(yè)典禮之后蘭徹按照最初約定徹底消失，十年后查圖爾想起天臺(tái)之約，找到萊俱和法涵，說(shuō)有蘭徹消息，已是著名動(dòng)物攝影師的法涵不惜裝病逼飛機(jī)返航，工程師萊俱連褲子都沒(méi)穿就跑出去與他們會(huì)合，最后三人開(kāi)車(chē)把準(zhǔn)備結(jié)婚的琵亞接走，眾人一起去找到了真正的蘭徹，了解了事情的真相，后來(lái)眾人來(lái)到一所充滿(mǎn)創(chuàng)意的學(xué)校，接待他們的是當(dāng)年在大學(xué)打雜的小伙子（是假蘭徹寄錢(qián)給他，讓他到了現(xiàn)在這所學(xué)校），查圖爾看不起當(dāng)老師的假蘭徹，最后眾人團(tuán)聚，才發(fā)現(xiàn)假蘭徹除了是老師，還是一名炙手可熱的科學(xué)家，是查圖爾一直想要合作的人，真名叫奉蘇克?望杜。

Farhan Qureshi , Raju Rastogi and Rancchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad Ranchoare three engineering students who share a room in a hostel at the Imperial College of Engineering (ICE). Farhan is studying engineering to pursue his father"s wishes over his own wish ― to become a wildlife photographer. Raju is studying to raise his family"s fortunes while Rancho, driven by his passion for machines and devices, studies for the joy of it. However, due to this different approach Rancho incurs the wrath of the dean of the college, Professor Viru Virus Shahastrabuddhe Virus labels Rancho and his friends as idiots and attempts to break up Rancho"s friendship with Farhan and Raju. In contrast, Virus" favorite student, Chatur Silencer Ramalingam, believes in mindless memorizing over understanding, in order to reach his goals of corporate and social status. Meanwhile, Rancho falls in love with Virus" medical student daughter Pia when he, Raju and Farhan crash her sister"s wedding banquet in order to get a free meal, in the process further infuriating Virus.

Things further escalate when the three friends, who are already drunk, break into Virus" house at night to allow Rancho to propose Pia, and then urinate on a door inside the compound before running away. The next day, Virus threatens to rusticate Raju unless he squeals on Rancho. Not wanting to betray his friend or let down his family, Raju attempts suicide, jumping out of the third floor window and ending up paralysed. Following his recovery, Raju discards his fear of the future and takes a frank approach in an interview for a corporate job, while Farhan decides to pursue his love of photography with a Dutch photographer. The two friends succeed in their goals, further infuriating Virus and causing him to come up with a plan that will jeopardize Raju"s job. Pia is appalled a this and decides to help Rancho and Farhan by providing them with the keys to her father"s office. However, Virus catches them and expels them on the spot. Pia angrily confronts him, revealing that his son, Pia"s brother, committed suicide when he could not get into ICE, like Virus demanded, despite not even wanting to be an engineer. At the same time, Pia"s pregnant older sister Mona (Mona Singh) goes into labour. A heavy storm cuts all power and floods the streets, making it impossible for the ambulance to reach Mona, and Pia is stuck at her hospital, where she had fleed. Over phone and webcam, she instructs Rancho to deliver the baby in the college common room via VOIP. After the baby is apparently stillborn, Rancho resuscitates the baby by leading the students in saying All is well. Virus reconciles with Rancho and his friends, and allows the two to stay for their final exams.

Their story is framed as intermittent flashbacks from the present day, ten years after Chatur bet to become more successful than Rancho. Having lost contact with Rancho, who disappeared during the graduation party and went into seclusion, after five years, Raju and Farhan begin a journey to find him. They are joined by Chatur, now a wealthy and successful businessman, who joins them, brazenly confident that he has surpassed Rancho and also looking to seal a deal with a famous scientist and prospective business associate named Phunsukh Wangdu. When they find Rancho"s house in Shimla, they find a completely different Rancho From him they come to know that their friend was a destitute servant boy Chhote who loved learning, while he, the real Rancho, disliked study. After seeing the boy"s intelligence, the family agreed to let the servant boy study in Rancho"s place instead of labouring. In return, the real Rancho would pocket the qualifications and after graduating, the servant boy will cease all contact. The real Rancho reveals that Chhote is now a school-teacher in Ladakh. At the same time, they find out that without Rancho, Pia decided to marry the same price-obsessed banker that Rancho initially talked her into dumping, and they go to rescue her from the wedding.

Raju and Farhan find Pia and arrive in Rancho’s school. Pia and the fake Rancho rekindle their love, while Chatur mocks Rancho for becoming a school teacher. He asks Rancho to sign on a Declaration of Defeat document. When Rancho"s friends ask for his real name is, he reveals that he is actually Phunsukh Wangdu himself. Chatur finds out about this and is horrified; he accepts his defeat and pleads his case with Phunsukh to establish the business relationship he was after.
