Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogi want to re-unite with their fellow collegian, Rancho, after faking
a stroke aboard an Air India plane, and excusing himself from his wife - trouser less - respectively.
Enroute, they encounter another student, Chatur Ramalingam, now a successful businessman,
who reminds them of a bet they had undertaken 10 years ago. The trio, while recollecting hilarious
antics, including their run-ins with the Dean of Delhi's Imperial College of Engineering, Viru Sahastrabudhe,
race to locate Rancho, at his last known address - little knowing the secret that was kept from them
all this time.

Movie Reviews
We saw a sneak preview of 3 Idiots last night at Globus Cinema in Bandra, Mumbai.
Brilliant. Simply, brilliant.
Simple but articulate story telling laced with lots of humour and lessons from life. A wonderful
experience to watch as every single actor from Sharman, Madhavan, Boman, Kareena & Aamir
deliver probably the best performance in a movie this year.
Sharman & Madhavan start off on a journey to seek out their friend Rancho. Together they were
the 3 Idiots in college. And they take us the viewers with them on this beautiful journey with such
warmth, panache, humour and love, that we don't want the journey to end.
Sharman really shows why he's one actor to watch out for. His acting genes come through in
every single scene. He's perfect in his role. Sharman, you rock!
Madhavan as the guy who's chasing his father's dreams rather than his own is wonderful. The
character who learns to laugh at life and it's ironies thanks to his friend Rancho. Madhavan shows
his humorous side brilliantly savoring every scene and making it a pleasure to watch. His narration
of the movie is very good.
Boman Irani is probably the one actor we take most for granted just because he's so brilliant! His
characterization of the control-crazy, hyper-active, hyper-competitive, almost dictator-ish, college
principal, is beyond words. He plays it so so well, that you love to hate him. He's that Good.
Kareena comes through in this movie as one of the finest actresses we have. No one else could
have
played her part and also looked so beautiful at the same time.
And now take it from a hard core Amitabh Bachchan fan, Aamir Khan is the best actor in town
today after AB. Period.
His range is phenomenal and his characterization of 'Rancho' in this movie is positively brilliant.
The small mannerisms, the walk, the smile, the attitude, the brilliance of a young person who's
not restricted by the educational system, his positive attitude towards every thing in life, it's
Rancho you are looking at. Not Aamir.
Aamir's ability to transform himself convincingly from the super-huge well-built temporary
amnesia patient on a revenge spree in Ghajini to this whacked out college student, which is half
the age he played in last movie shows his prowess as a master actor to transcend age barriers to
play almost every role in the book.
This is THE best movie of 2009. Aamir again reigns supreme. Thank you Raju Hirani & Vidhu
Vinod Chopra.
