'3 Idiots' is a 2009 Indian Hindi-language coming-of-age comedy-drama film written, edited and directed by Rajkumar Hirani and co-written by Abhijat Joshi, with producer Vidhu Vinod Chopra acting as a screenplay associate. Adapted loosely from Chetan Bhagat's novel Five Point Someone, the film stars Aamir Khan, R. Madhavan and Sharman Joshi in the titular roles, marking their reunion three years after the 2006 film Rang De Basanti, while Omi Vaidya, Kareena Kapoor and Boman Irani star in pivotal roles. Narrated through parallel dramas, one in the present and the other ten years in the past, the story follows the friendship of three students at an Indian engineering college and is a satire about the social pressures under an Indian education system.

The film received critical acclaim and commercial success upon its release on 25 December 2009 and is considered to be among the greatest Bollywood movies ever made; it was also the highest-grossing film in its opening weekend in India, had the highest opening day collections for an Indian film up until that point and also held the record for the highest net collections in the first week for a Hindi film. The film also had a social impact on attitudes to education in India, as well as education in other Asian countries such as China.
