Among the supporting, Boman Irani as the eccentric head of the institution was too good. Madhavan and Sharman adds up with commendable performances. His looks and mannerisms as a college student was genuine and consummate. Coming to performances, all of them comes out with convincing portrayals, but it is Aamir Khan, the real showman of Bollywood, steals the shows with yet another stellar portrayal and will go down as one of his best performances. Music was good and well placed with the flow of the narration. Technically, it rocks with astounding and visually arresting cinematography, the aerial shots of Shimla and Ladakh are a pleasant treat for our eyes.
The intermission point offers a twist that is totally out of the blue and keeps you hooked to the movie ! Just when you think this feel-good comic caper is leading to its culmination, there is another surprising element at the climax which is brilliantly weaved out by Hirani. Film offers lots of quality rib-tickling moments throughout.
Both humour and emotional quotients are amalgamated in the right proportion, full credits to Raju for that.

As the journey starts off, their college life and old memories of their friendship, with a unique free-thinker Rancho who inspired them and changed their lives, are unfolded through flashbacks and followed with some twists and turns. Plot Two idiots Farhan (Madhavan) and Raju (Sharman) sets outs on a journey to find their lost friend and the 3rd idiot Rancho (Aamir).
