Bollywood drama, probably toned down enough that I actually liked it. For example, categorized as a musical, aside from the mid-film musical/dance interlude, the music was so well integrated that I never thought I was watching a musical. The story takes place at a premier engineering college in India, where students are taught to learn what they are taught. Meaning that those who "think" will likely have difficulty. The three idiots of the film are Rancho, who thinks and his two roommates Raju (who is moderately smart but really loves engineering) and Farhan (who has no interest in engineering). Rancho is the charisma in this group. They play pranks, struggle through class and combat the stress that the system of education is creating. The story is told out of time sequence so that we get long sections of flashback to set the stage for the last third of the film and the resolution. A moderately funny film with a good (if a bit trite) message about education and people and relationship and love.
3 stars (out of 5)
