3 Idiots

Three Idiots is a 2009 Bollywood Coming of Age film starred by Aamir Khan, Kareena Kapoor, R. Madhavan, Sharman Joshi, Omi Vaidya, Parikshit Sahni, and Boman Irani. It's loosely based in the novel Five Point Someone by Chetan Bhagat.

Ten Years ago, at the prestigious Imperial College of Engineering (ICE), Farhan Qureshi (Madhavan) and Raju Rastogi (Joshi) are assigned as roomates along with Ranchoddas "Rancho" Chanchad (Khan), and they quickly become friends. The three couldn't be more different: Rancho is an extremely talented inventor with a great love for learning; Farhan has a passion for photography that he unsuccessfully tries to suppress in order to get the engineer degree his family wants;: and Raju, coming from a very poor family, is so overwhelmed by his economical difficulties and his fear of failure that his grades suffer for it. Rancho's unconventional ideas about learning immediately put him in odds with the extremely strict and conventional director Viru "Virus" Sahastrabuddhe (Irani), a situation that becomes worse when he meets and falls in love with Pia (Kapoor), the lovely and way more openminded daugther of Virus. On their time in ICE, Rancho basically teach his friends to be more free and honest with themselves, wins Pia's heart, and eventually gains the approval of Viru. But the day of graduation, Rancho disappeared, never to be contacted again.

In the present day, Farhan (now a successful wildlife photographer) and Raju ( who has become a middle class corporate man) receive a call from their school rival Chatur Ramalingam (Vaidya). Chatur, who was humiliated by Rancho back in the day, is obsessed to prove which of them is the most sucessful, and will not stop until find him and show him his current success, preferably with Farhan and Rajo as witnesses. Realizing that Chatur has the only actual hint about Rancho's whereabouts, the two friends decide to join him in a road-trip, on which they'll find what was become of their old friend, will rescue Pia from an arranged marriage, and discover the truth of what happened a decade before.
