Mucho similar thoughts have been aired about oppressive education \u2013 the kinds that does not allow the student to think for himself. \u201c3 idiots\u201d harps on the same chord. We have 3 supposed idiots come to study in an engineering academy. Why ? Because their parents pre-ordained it. Out of the three only one is a \u201cfree-thinker\u201d come to study just because he wants to learn. The other two are just more fodder for the education mill. But things change with association, when these two meet the one. <\/p>\n<p>Of course, that one is something special. He\u2019s named Rancho, really Ranchod. And a word about that \u2013 who actually names their kid Ran-chod ? Ran = battle-field, Chod = leave, i.e.; one who runs away from the battle-field \u2013 a loser. People name their kids <a href=\"http:\/\/reviewroom.blogspot.com\/2009\/05\/tweaking-reality-mtv-style-part-1.html\">Ranvijay<\/a>, i.e.; one who is victorious on the battle-field \u2013 a winner, but Ranchod ?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway the film high-tails it across the education experience of these three, especially Rancho\u2019s head-butts with a professor, Viru Sahastrabudhhe (<a href=\"http:\/\/hindimoviereviews.blogspot.com\/2007\/04\/review-honeymoon-travels-pvt-ltd.html\">Boman Irani<\/a>), and his romance with Sahastrabudhhe\u2019s daughter Pia (<a href=\"http:\/\/hindimoviereviews.blogspot.com\/2009\/12\/review-kurbaan.html\">Kareeena Kapoor<\/a>). But one day Rancho disappears. Why ? The two remaining idiots embark on a quest to find out. On their journey, they remember a long forgotten bet, crash a wedding, and become part of the congregation at a funeral that goes out of control. But after all this do they find what they have set out to seek ?.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xvszmNXdM4w?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cThree idiots\u201d is rumored to be based on Chetan Bhagat\u2019s book <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Five-Point-Someone-What-Not\/dp\/8129104598\/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;s=books&amp;qid=1260982299&amp;sr=8-1-catcorr\">\u201cFive Point Someone \u2013 What not to do at IIT\u201d<\/a>.
