Chatur Ramalingam ("Silencer"), a vice-president of a reputable company, reminds his former engineering classmates Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogi of a bet he made with their classmate Rancho ten years ago. Meeting up, the three of them set out to Shimla to find Rancho, reminiscing about their days at the Imperial College of Engineering (ICE) in Delhi.
On the night before their final exams, Raju's father has a heart attack. With Pia's help, Rancho saves him. During the yearly class photo, Virus makes a bet with Rancho that neither Raju nor Farhan gets a job from on-campus interviews or he will shave off his mustache.
In their fourth year, Rancho tells his friends why they consistently place last: Farhan's passion is photography, not engineering, and Raju lacks self-confidence. After Farhan and Raju promise to confront their problems if Rancho confesses his feelings for Pia, the three of them drunkenly break into Virus' house; Farhan and Raju drunkenly urinate on his letterbox. Virus notices Raju and threatens to rusticate him unless he witnesses against Rancho. Not willing to disappoint his family nor betray Rancho, Raju attempts suicide but survives, leading Virus to revoke the rustication. Raju recovers and is successful in a job interview, while Farhan convinces his father to let him become a photographer.
Humiliated at Raju's success in getting a job and losing his mustache, Virus tries to destroy Raju's chances of success by setting an unfairly difficult exam. With Pia's help, Rancho and Farhan steal the exam paper but Raju refuses to cheat and throws it away, but the three of them are caught and expelled. Pia later confronts her father over her brother's suicide, which was prompted by similar pressure placed on him by Virus. That night, during a heavy rainstorm, a pregnant Mona goes into labour. Unable to drive to a hospital, Rancho modifies a vacuum cleaner into a ventouse and delivers the baby with the help of Pia, Farhan, and Raju. A grateful Virus acknowledges Rancho by giving him a valuable Space Pen, which he promised to give only to his most distinguished student, and revokes the trio's expulsions. On graduation day, Rancho suddenly disappears.
In the present, upon reaching Shimla, where Chatur has located Rancho's house, they come across a different man, whose face is pasted over Rancho's in their graduation portrait. The man explains that the "Rancho" at ICE was his family's gardener's son "Chhote", who was incredibly intelligent and gifted. Ranchhoddas' father paid for Chhote to attend ICE, on the condition that he use his son's name and, after graduating, cut all contact with anyone at ICE. Chhote, who was more interested in learning than in getting a degree, agreed, but afterwards warned that two idiots would come looking for him one day. Ranchoddas gives them Chhote's address in Ladakh. On the way there, Farhan and Raju gatecrash Pia's wedding to Suhas in Manali and convince her to come with them to find Rancho.
At the address in Ladakh, the group is astonished to find a thriving school. They are greeted by "Millimetre", formerly an errand boy whom they met at ICE, now Rancho's assistant, who tells them that Rancho has keenly followed their careers. They reunite with Rancho on a sandbar near the Pangong Lake. Rancho admits he is still in love with Pia and the two share a kiss. Chatur, who assumes that Rancho is only a mere schoolteacher, mocks him and takes Virus' pen from him. After being asked about his real name, Rancho reveals himself to be Phunsukh Wangdu, a successful scientist and entrepreneur which Chatur's company is courting. Chatur, shocked that Rancho is Phunsukh Wangdu, accepts defeat as the others run away from him laughing.
"Chetan gave me this book to read and I wanted to make a film on it. But I knew right from the start that I could not make a film completely on the book, as it was very anecdotal and a film needs a plot. So I had decided to rewrite it in a screenplay format. You'll see that the film is very different from the book. After I wrote the script, I called Chetan and narrated it to him. I told him that if he did not like the script, I would stop the project. But he was okay with it".
After the success of Lage Raho Munna Bhai (2006), the director Rajkumar Hirani and screenwriter Abhijat Joshi had plans for third instalment on the Munna Bhai franchise, titled Munnabhai Chale Amerika. But Hirani felt exhausted working on consecutive films on the same format, and decided to work on fresh script outside the franchise.[30] While writing the first draft of the film, he thought of a new project rather than the new instalment from the film series, but he had concentrated more on the project and then worked on the former first. While thinking about how the project coming under fruition, he got the popular novel Five Point Someone by the author Chetan Bhagat.[31] The latter gave this novel for Hirani to read, in order to have an idea about the script. Impressed by the novel, he decided to adapt the screenplay by making changes to the original novel and work on it as a feature film.[32]
An official announcement regarding the film was made during early-2008, after working in the script for more than one-and-a-half year.[36] During the pre-production, Hirani went to multiple engineering colleges, including those under the Indian Institutes of Technology in Mumbai and Delhi, to authenticate the lives of engineering students. In this he met, many students and took pictures along with them. He needed the references for the clothes used, their looks and things they brought as many IIT-students were older than the fictional characters.[32] The film also had shared many anecdotes from his college life, since Hirani had used to study in hostel during his young period.[citation needed] Hirani had carefully looked upon the notion in the lives of engineering students, as there are few things apart from drugs, sex and violence. However, Hirani had said that the film plays a satirical take on social pressures under an Indian education system.[7][8] Apart from that, the film also addresses the issue of tussle between parents and children, but in a "sugar-coated manner".[citation needed] During the promotions of the film, Hirani stated that "the film is completely different of the Munna Bhai film series; in terms of the characters, story and the environment. However, both the films fall in the same genre, where all three films are heartwarming stories with lovable characters making it feel good. Both films have true emotions in the heart, happiness, sadness and also leave a strong message to the audience in the ending that make us satisfy".[32]
The casting of the lead actors was considered to be "complex", according to Hirani.[32] He thought of many actors playing the lead roles, and also went on a six-month audition across the country; but thought of established actors playing the roles, since the film had two looks and the actors needed experience.[32] He had plans for Shah Rukh Khan playing the lead character, Ranchoddas Chanchad.[37] Hirani tried to rope Khan after the latter exited from the titular role Munna Bhai in the director's debut venture Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. (2003), which was later essayed by Sanjay Dutt. However, Khan refused being a part of the film due to his prior commitments.[38][39] Ranbir Kapoor, then a relative newcomer, also declined the lead role, but agreed to a short cameo as Varun Sahastrabuddhe.[40][b]Aamir Khan was later finalised to play the lead role.[43]
The team approached Sanjay Dutt, with whom Hirani worked in the Munna Bhai film series, to play the role of the main antagonist Dr. Viru Sahastrabuddhe, but for various reasons the role went to Boman Irani.[46] The character name was considered to be unique due to the look, lisp and mannerisms portrayed, and also got the nickname "Virus", as students give names to their professors and principals in their school and college life. For the preparation of his role, Boman wore costumes made of cheap fabric, designed by an old tailor who stitches clothes for Parsis in Dadar (North-Central Mumbai).[32] He wore the shirt with velcro attached, and a hook tie; with the same look, he attended the shoot to prepare for his role.[46] Initially, Boman was hesitant to act in that film and had recommended his co-actor Irrfan Khan for Viru Sahastrabuddhe, but his refusal prompted Boman to take up the role.[47] This was revealed by Boman after Khan's death in April 2020.[48]
