When an Aamir Khan Movie comes out, there's quite a lot of buzz. In fact the hype starts much before the release - given that Aamir talks to the media only when a movie of his is about to be released. After the spectacular Taare Zameen Par (2007) and the disappointing Ghajini (2008), this Aamir Khan starrer had everything going for it, especially because of the success of Chetan Bhagat's work - Five Point Someone. Well, the creators of the movie now claim that the plot is only 'inspired' from the book. Whatever! 3 Idiots is the story of three engineering students (Aamir Khan, Madhavan & Sharman Joshi) at the Imperial College of Engineering (Chetan Bagat's book had the IIT as the backdrop). Boman Irani plays the role of the eccentric college Principal - much like his character in Munnabhai MBBS (that too was directed by Rajkumar Hirani). Predictably, the three don't get on well with the Principal and the first part of the movie is pretty much set around this.
