3 Idiots - The Abridged Bollywood Script



FADE IN:


As playing most of or at least half of the film in flashback is in vogue these days, we too start from a few minutes of unrealistic funny scenes and.....


INSERT FLASHBACK:

Joining the new college. After introduction of the Hero showcasing his extraordinary talent above others (by conducting electricity through pee), CUT TO-
see, we hang out atop the water tank, not on the institute roof. Ours was always an original story!


EXT. HOSTEL BUILDING
                                                                    RAHUL KUMAR
                            The principal is coming to deliver his annual intro lecture to the first 
                            years. Attention.
                    
                                                                    R MADHAVAN
                             Is he nuts? I mean, in the hostel compound, with students in their 
                             early morning worst state? Couldn't he settle for an Auditorium or  
                             something?

                                                                    RAHUL KUMAR
                              The character is supposed to be crazy & brilliant, okay?


Enters the Princi, & starts with an over exaggerated account of the Cuckoos' eggs story.

                                                                     R MADHAVAN
                               I get it there is stiff competition, but did you really assemble all 
                               those 4 lakh(or so) application forms of aspiring students?

                                                                     BOMAN IRANI
                               Wait till i show u guys my special NASA astronauts' pen.

                                                                      SHARMAN JOSHI
                               Hey, isn't that NASA joke been told like, a million times since we      
                               were kids. I thought engg college would have some higher standards.

Meanwhile, throughout this lecture, Amir Khan makes stupid childish face gestures, which no student of even a toddlers’ home can copy.

                                                                       AMIR KHAN
(thinking): Since our princi doesnt seem to know this joke, i can play the hero (even though every other student & audience also know it).
                               Why did they not use a pencil?

                                                                        BOMAN IRANI
                                Fuck You.


EXT. COLLEGE BUILDING
                           
                                                                        AMIR KHAN
                               The food is horrible here, lets break into any random wedding party 
                               which will surely happen to be of the Princi's daughter.

                                                                        R MADHAVAN, SHARMAN JOSHI
                               Jahanpanaah, tussi great ho…..

                                                                        AMIR KHAN
                              But we'll go there en-route your guys’ homes to make shameless 
                              distasteful fun of someone's poverty and disability.

So, after making shameless distasteful fun of someone's poverty and disability, CUT TO-

INT. Wedding Venue

                                                                        AMIR KHAN
(playing more hero, making fun of well settled, hardworking, deserving persons)
                              I’m making a stupid inverter rip-off to power wedding parties by car 
                              batteries.
                              And i also somewhat impressed the other daughter!


INT. COLLEGE
Exams are here.
                                                                        AMIR KHAN
                              Dont worry, we'll pass with flying colors.

                                                                        SHARMAN JOSHI
                              It’s you who is the hero, not me. So i need to study, we split. Bye.

INT. AUDI
Exams over.
                                                                        AMIR KHAN
                               Now i'll make fun of a hardworking studious guy in front of the 
                               entire college, for no apparent fault of his.

                                                                        R MADHAVAN
                              Taking advantage of his poor regional language skills? Isn’t this the 
                              legal definition of discrimination on the basis of language spoken?

                                                                        AMIR KHAN
                              No one will think about this aspect. The audience will be busy 
                               laughing.

                                                                        OMI VAIDYA
                              But why me?

                                                                        AMIR KHAN
                               Don’t you remember, this is a flashback? We need you to be pissed 
                               off to create that plot.

The guy is successfully pissed.

INT HOSPITAL

The Hero finally impresses the other daughter by taking a friends' dad to hospital, coz other regular guys would never do that!
As a by-product, the friend also reunites with him.

EXT. COLLEGE PREMISES
Results Declared.

                                                                       R MADHAVAN
                                        We barely passed.

                                                                       SHARMAN JOSHI
                                        Cheer up! Isn’t it unexpected that we did? 
                                         But hang on, Amir Khan topped.

                                                                        R MADHAVAN
                                         What The F! How could he?
                                         This film is supposed to blame each n everything on the bad
                                          system of education in India.
                                          Then if a talented, brilliant, barely studying guy tops the 
                                          exams instead of a hardworking, stupid mugger; the system 
                                          should be kick-ass, instead of being sucked up. Right?

                                                                         VIDHU VINOD Ch***a 
                                                                     (in front of TV camera)
                                         This is my story, I have bought the rights, You havn't read the
                                          book. Shut up, Shut up, Shut up.

                                                                        SCREEN WRITERS
                                                                        (behind camera)
                                         Madhavan, ignore him. What was the film’s title, again?

                                                                         R MADHAVAN
                                         Oh, I get it.

EXT. BASE OF THE WATER TANK

                                                                         R MADHAVAN, SHARMAN JOSHI
                                         Why the hell do we get below average marks?

                                                                         AMIR KHAN
                                         Coz you wanted to be a photographer & don’t have the 
                                          skill/desire to be an engineer,
                                          and you are afraid of failing, respectively.

                                                                        R MADHAVAN, SHARMAN JOSHI
                                         Oblivious of the fact that we managed to secure a birth in 
                                          this college out of the 4 lakh(or so) best youngsters in the
                                          country, as explained in the opening lecture?

                                                                        AMIR KHAN
                                         Whatever.
                                          Lets go sneaking up to the Princi's daughter's room.

                                                                        SHARMAN JOSHI
                                          But u just explained I'm too afraid even while studying. Then 
                                         where do i get the courage to pee on princi's home address  
                                         plate?

INT. PRINCIPAL OFFICE
                                                                         BOMAN IRANI
                                         You have been caught for last night’s offence. You either 
                                         report against Amir Khan or i expel you.
                 
                                                                          SHARMAN JOSHI
                                          I'd rather try to commit suicide, so that when i eventually 
                                          recover, u'll automatically forgive all three of us.

                                                                          BOMAN IRANI
                                          Well doesn’t sound like me, but if you say so, Deal.

INT. HOSPITAL
After Recovering from the multiple injuries,

                                                                          R MADHAVAN
                                          Job interviews are today. Take my Tie.

                                                                          SHARMAN JOSHI
                                           Ain’t you coming?

                                                                         R MADHAVAN
                                           I've decided to be a photographer.

                                                                         SHARMAN JOSHI
                                           But after u tolerated 4 years, at least u can appear for the 
                                           interview. Then do whatever u want.

                                                                         R MADHAVAN
                                           But that won’t look half as adventurous. Plus i too get to 
                                           play the hero for a scene!


INT. COLLEGE
After The Scene & a highly unrealistic interview,

                                                                       R MADHAVAN, SHARMAN JOSHI
                                         Jahanpanaah, tussi great ho....

                                                                       KAREENA KAPOOR
                                         It was they who rose up to the challenge. why are they 
                                         kneeling to you?

                                                                       AMIR KHAN
                                         The heroine who gets only a couple of scenes will never 
                                          understand what it takes to show the audience who is 
                                          actually the hero.


INT. PRINCI's HOME

                                                                      BOMAN IRANI
                                          He might have landed a job, but i'll never let that poor guy 
                                          pass the final exams. I'll set up the most difficult question 
                                          paper ever.

                                                                      KAREENA KAPOOR
                                          But that will be same for all the students. What personal 
                                          disadvantage will the poor guy suffer?

                                                                      BOMAN IRANI
                                         Maybe u'll chicken out and tell those 3 to barge into my office 
                                        & get caught?

                                                                       KAREENA KAPOOR
                                          Anything for increasing my bit of role in the film!


INT. HOSTEL ROOM
They do get caught.
                                                                      BOMAN IRANI
                                        To escape prison, you 3 will leave the colz first thing in the 
                                         morning.

                                                                       AMIR KHAN
                                        Poor guy! If only he knew that his first daughter will get into 
                                        labour pain, city drains overflow, roads get closed & 
                                        emergency services stalled, all on this very fateful night.

                                                                      R MADHAVAN
                                        And then u'll do the ultimate hero act with the help of your 
                                        indigenously built machine (whose cheap imitation is popularly 
                                        known as UPS/Inverter) & Orkut®™ video chat.

                                                                      KAREENA KAPOOR
                                        Cool! plus i get another scene, although on a video chat, 
                                        which Orkut®™ will try to publicize so much.

                                                                     SHARMAN JOSHI
                                       To no effect. Most people would still prefer Facebook®™.

                                                                     AMIR KHAN
                                      Guys, u forgot i also have to make a still born baby come alive 
                                      after a full 2 minutes, just by muttering some stupid 
                                      theme/slogan/incantation.

                                                                    R MADHAVAN
                                     Thanks for reminding. And the vacuum cleaner too. Still, all is well....

(Afterwards)
EXT. EXIT GATE

                                                                     BOMAN IRANI
                                    U really are a genius. Here, take my NASA pen.

                                                                      AMIR KHAN
                                    Fuck you. I'm going to Laddakh, and will make do with my pencil.
                                    Coz, I’m a proxy student here, earning a proxy degree for my    
                                    poor family’s employer’s illiterate son.

Finally, the college ends.
FLASHBACK END.

(INTERMISSION)
                                                                    AUDIENCE (in front of screen)
                                    Hey didn’t the book end here?

                                                                    SCREEN WRITERS
                                    Told ya, it’s not inspired by the book. We’ve added some 
                                     indigenous  crap to it.

                                                                     VIDHU VINOD Ch***a 
                                                                   (in front of TV camera)
                                     This is my story, I have bought the rights, You haven’t read the 
                                     book. Shut up, Shut up, Shut up.

Warning: the following portion contains fresh original story.
(SECOND HALF STARTS)

EXT. ROAD TO LADDAKH
                                                   
                                                                      OMI VAIDYA
                                     I have an important meeting, but meanwhile, to make fun of 
                                     Amir Khan, I'll take u guys to find him.

                                                                      R MADHAVAN
                                    Let me check on for Kareena. She should have a couple of scenes 
                                     more.

                                                                      SHARMAN JOSHI
                                    Oops! She's getting married today.

                                                                      R MADHAVAN
                                   So how do we make her run away?

                                                                      SHARMAN JOSHI
                                  Maybe for some strange reason, the groom would be waiting for his
                                 wedding shervaani to be ironed at the last minute. I'll somehow get
                                 hold of that, and in his disguise manage to run with her.
                                                                      R MADHAVAN
                                 Full filmy style. Bingo!


EXT. LADDAKH
After successfully making her run away ,They meet Amir.
                                                                      OMI VAIDYA
                                  I admit you are of extraordinary brilliance, & I, the 
                                  hardworking guy, am worthless.
                              Take my bow.

                                                                      R MADHAVAN
                                  Strangely Amir, your actual (N-E Indian) name doesn't exactly match
                                  up to your ethnic looks. But, whatever....


(END CREDITS ROLLING)
                                                                      CHETAN BHAGAT
                                  Hey, you have obscured my name after all the supporting cast & crew!

                                                                      VIDHU VINOD Ch***a 
                                                                     (in front of TV camera)
                                   This is my story, I have bought the rights, You havn't read the 
                                    book. Shut up,Shut up,Shut up.

                                                                      AUDIENCE 1
                                    No one's gonna buy this horseshit of a script.
                                                            
                                                                      AUDIENCE 2
                                    Especially after we have already been fooled into making this
                                    film gross over INR 300 crore globally.
                                    That reminds me, wasn’t the movie supposed to be up on 
                                    YouTube™ after 12 weeks of release?

                                                                    VIDHU VINOD Ch***a
                                    They trust me, Dumb Fucks!            (© Mark Zuckerberg)

                                                                    AUDIENCE 3
                                    Guys! Forget buying. No one's gonna read it even for free….
                                                            
                                                                    AUDIENCE 1
                                 ….You never know. Some workless worthless bloke might actually 
                                     read it over the internet.

                                                                   The Abridged ScriptWriter
                                   Gotcha!!!

                                                                                                               FADE OUT.
                                                   
                                                                The End.
