Five Point Someone Free Pdf

In the book, the boys jump hostel to catch a movie and we realise the differences in their outlooks. Alok wants to conform to the system, Ryan wants to beat it and Hari, the narrator is in between while in the movie, Rancho demonstrates right at the beginning that he likes to bathe in public and learn things himself by opening up parts of machines.
Have to agree that Hirani and Abhijat Joshi do a much better job of writing and fleshing out the interview scene and the actors rock it too. We do learn in the book that Hari wanted to be a writer, so here Hirani makes Farhan talk to his Dad about his dream internship with a wild-life photographer.
Well, so almost all of Five Point Someone but for a chapter has found its way into 3 Idiots in one form or the other. And just for that reason alone, Chetan Bhagat ought to have got a story credit right upfront. Coming up with a parallel narrative of what happens 10 years ago alone does not change the entire story, however interesting or entertaining the twists are.
Hirani and Co ought to learn from Vishal Bhardwaj who credited a rather unknown Cajetan Boy for just the idea of Kaminey right at the beginning of the film and even named a character after the screenwriter he met at a seminar.
1. I completely agree with your point.
2. I had started re-reading the book day before I was to watch the movie.
3. I did not have the will and patience to write this stuff. Better explained by my leaving chapters in between. Kudos for the huge job.
Though I did not find the book to be too great and found the movie to be much better than the book, this article has made me change my opinion. Its a brilliant comparison and Iam glad you wrote this. I feel sorry for Chetan, and yes Aamir *was* being a bully by using his star power and by calling Chetan an attention seeker. A clear case of a big production house squashing away a small time writer. Great to see someone with balls of steel call a spade a spade. A great article. Cheers.
I will be glad if you review some tamil movies as well. There are quite a lot of people who review English & Hindi movies but hardly anyone who writes good tamil movie reviews. You might save me time, energy and $$ by just mentioning the tamil movies that are worth watching. I am enjoyed reading your articles in The Hindu and am enjoying reading your blog even more. So keep writing!
Well said Sudhish Bhai.. Talented writers like Bhagat should be groomed and encouraged.. if they get bogged down by such ill acts by the superstars and filmmakers, then the quality of Indian movies will be stagnant.. i appreciate your guts..
My take is that the credit given was what it was worth. They did say it was based on the novel. The basic thread of the story is different and as per screen play, the book gets about 20% on screen time.
look at a harry potter film, there the story is maintained, with little changes. here even the love story that is the main part of the book is not kept as it is.
Very aptly said. 5 point someone is the story and 3 idiots is the screen play version. Admittedly, there has been a lot of creative inputs from Hirani and Ahijat Joshi to have made 3 Idiots the rib tickler it was. The book was a plain yet grasping narrative whereas the movie was a laughter riot. But still, it seems imbecilic that someone would claim the movie is not a remake of 5PS.
To a person like me who read the book well before the movie was even thought of, I could connect every scene in the book to what the actors were brilliantly enacting!
I had watched 3 idiots a couple of months ago and read Five Point Someone only yesterday.I do agree that the basic idea of the film is from F.P.S but it would be harsh on the film to call it a copy.The film is a Bollywoodised version of the book and the narrative structure is modified to coat the movie with messages and ideals which Raju Hirani , the director is a master at.The film is more about populating its message for the masses and Hirani and Abhijat Joshi have rightly taken the mainstream path.The film may be called an idealistic version of the book..
"3 Idiots is based on Chetan Bhagat's Five Point Someone but it's not the book that you want to see in the form of a film when you go out. There are only a few points from the book in the film. Otherwise it's a totally different screenplay and story," Sharman told IANS on phone from Mumbai.
"Five Point Someone was an extremely popular book and loved by people and so it is very important for people to know that it's not the book they are going to go out and see. It (the movie) is very different from what the book was," he added.
Sharman stressed on the differences between the book and the movie and said: "There are three guys who are studying in an engineering college and there is a love interest as it is based on Chetan Bhagat's book and so he has been given the credit for that. But the story is completely different."
Releasing Friday, 3 Idiots has been produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and stars Aamir Khan and R. Madhavan alongside Sharman. Kareena Kapoor and Boman Irani also play pivotal roles in the comic-drama.
Throwing light on his character, Sharman said: "My character's name is Raju Rastogi. He is brilliant at what he does which is engineering. He comes from a very humble background as his father is a postman.
"Because he is doing well academically they start building hopes that he will pull them out of poverty and help them enjoy the pleasures of life. And it is because of this pressure that he is not able to live his life," he added.
Sharman explained: "The way we are interpreting idiots is quite different from what the dictionary meaning of idiots is. Our interpretation of idiots is someone who follows one's own heart and who probably goes against the norms because it is something he believes in. And 'I Did It On my Terms' is the full form of it."
"Sure, it has. It's narrated in a lighter way and there are moments which are rather dramatic. There are things which can fundamentally change the way you think. I hope it goes across to the people and they appreciate it," he said.
