The story begins with Farhan and Raju embarking on a journey to find their long-lost friend, Rancho, who disappeared after college. They trace his steps back to their engineering college, where they reminisce about their time together.


Flashbacks take us back to their college days, where the trio first meets. Rancho, a brilliant but unconventional student, has a unique outlook on education and life. He challenges the conventional methods of teaching and believes in pursuing knowledge for its own sake rather than focusing solely on grades and rote learning.


The three friends face various challenges and pressures throughout their college journey. They have to deal with the strict and authoritative college director, Viru "Virus" Sahastrabuddhe (played by Boman Irani), who epitomizes the traditional education system. They also face the expectations of their families, who believe that success is solely measured by good grades and securing a high-paying job.


Rancho falls in love with Pia (played by Kareena Kapoor), the daughter of Virus. Meanwhile, Raju struggles with financial problems and the fear of failure, while Farhan is caught between his passion for photography and his father's wishes for him to become an engineer.


As the story progresses, Rancho's revolutionary ideas and unorthodox methods of teaching begin to influence his friends and challenge their own beliefs about education and life. The trio navigates through hilarious and heartwarming situations, including pranks, exams, and college competitions.


Amidst the laughter and fun, "3 Idiots" also tackles serious issues such as the pressure on students to conform to societal expectations, the importance of pursuing one's passion, and the flaws in the education system. It emphasizes the idea that true success lies in finding one's own path and following one's dreams.


The climax of the movie reveals that Rancho had disappeared after college to become a successful scientist. He reappears, bringing positive changes to the lives of Farhan and Raju. The film ends with a message of friendship, chasing dreams, and questioning the status quo.
