SUMMARY:
The film starts with Farhan Qureshi ( Madhavan) and Raju Rastogi’s ( sharman Joshi) quest to find their long lost friend Rancchordas Shyamaldas Chanchard also known as Rancho (Amir Khan) with the help of a college nerd Chatur Ramalingam ( Omi Vaidya). While on the way to find Rancho, the film takes us to their life in college where Rancho was an extremely talented student filled with out of the mill philosophies. This made the college principal Viru Sahastrabudhhe’s (Boman Irani) ire. The film portrays that Rancho has the capability to do the impossible possible. He convinced his room mate and best friend Farhan to convince his father to take wildlife photography as well as nursing his suicide attempted friend Raju. He even befriends their principal’s daughter Piya (Kareena Kapoor) and helps her to realize that the guy whom she plans to marry is an absolute jerk. With plots and subplots it was proved that Rancho can outsmart any student and won their principal’s affection.
However after changing everyone’s life after graduation Rancho vanishes. Farhan and Raju’s quest begins here. As told earlier most of the film is done in flashback but the present situations also bring a comic relief. Anyways, after spoiling Pia’s marriage and tolerating Chatur’s narcissist comments. The two friends finally met Rancho who is a famous scientist Phunsuk Wangru.
The film, inspite of being a comedy carries a message and it’s about humanity and the rat race. The film is going to stay in your mind for a long time.
IMPLICATIONS:
For me, this movie implies wisdom about life. Gain knowledge and you will succeed. Apply every klnowledge you have in good way. Help other people to guide them about life. You'll be happy if you are successful and still has true friends even after lots of years.
REACTION:
These days people mind is already set to be succesful, but often we have a wrong way of percieving life, we chase success but then when it comes to knowledge, we are poor. For me, this film is worth rewarding for it guides us of what life should be, what it will gives us in the future if we follow the right perception to life.
