3 Idiots
-------------------------------------------------
Plot/Summary
Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan), Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi) and Ranchhordas Shyamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan) are three students who share a room in the residence of the fictional Imperial College of Engineering (ICE). Farhan is studying engineering to pursue his father's wishes, over his own passion for wildlife photography. Raju is studying to get his family out of poverty. On the other hand, Ranchho studies for his simple passion in machines. Rancho believes that one should follow excellence, not success, as success will take care of itself if excellence is followed.
However, this different approach is sneered upon by the college director, Dr. Viru "Virus" Sahastrabuddhe (Boman Irani). Virus's favourite student, Chatur Ramalingam (Omi Vaidya), known by the ICE community as "Silencer", believes in mindless memorizing over understanding in order to reach his goals of corporate status. Raju, who is initially annoyed by Rancho's methods, moves in with Chatur, where he fares worse. In order to impress Virus on Teachers' Day, Chatur, with the help of the college librarian, Dubey, writes a speech in pure Hindi which he will memorize to deliver on stage. Rancho decides to teach him a lesson and provide Raju with an example. Chatur, due his lack of knowledge in Hindi, mindlessly memorizes the paper, of which Rancho had secretly changed a few words (e.g. "chamatkaar" (miracle) was changed to "balatkaar" (rape)). Chatur delivers this speech in front of Virus and the Education Minister, and becomes the ridicule subject of the night. Highly insulted and driven to vengeance, he swears retaliation and bets that he will become more successful with his methods than Rancho.
Meanwhile, Raju's paralyzed father goes into a cardiac arrest, and is saved in the nick of time by Rancho and Pia (Kareena Kapoor), Virus' daughter, a medical student who is doing residency in the city hospital. This makes Raju genuinely change
