Some things you didn't know about the movie 3 Idiots.

Rajkumar Hirani’s 3 Idiots is one of those few films that will remain etched in the memory of film lovers in India. The drama narrating the lives of three friends touched a chord with the audience, when it released in 2009. Starring Aamir Khan, Ranganathan Madhavan and Sharman Joshi as engineering students, the film is inspired from Chetan Bhagat’s novel, Five Point Someone. The film also saw Boman Irani as the strict principal of the engineering college and Kareena Kapoor as his daughter. It was however, actor Omi Vaidya as Chatur Ramalingam a.k.a. The Silencer, who made his Bollywood debut with the film, and won hearts with his superb performance, despite acting alongside a host of talented and experienced actors. Be it All Izz Well, Zoobi Doobi, Behti Hawa Sa Tha Woh to Give Me Some Sunshine and Jaane Nahin Denge, the songs of the film were also loved by the audience. Hirani’s freshness in terms of treatment also earned appreciation. The film received as many as three National Awards in the Best Popular film, Best Lyrics and Best Audiography categories. 3 Idiots was not just a hit in India but also did well overseas. It is been ranked as the 12th favourite film in China, in Korea the audience rated the film an average of 9.4 on 10 on their popular website Naver. 

• For the drunk scene, Aamir suggested that the actors get drunk in reality so as to make it look convincing. But what happened was that the actors had to give numerous retakes, even the stock of camera roll exhausted, and the crew had to go and buy new camera roll. Hirani apparently kept asking for retakes so as to keep the actors busy till the rolls arrived.

 • Aamir does not stand still in the entire film, he is seen swaying in some direction. Apparently, the actor concluded after observing his nephew that the present generation never stands still.

 • The film reportedly was shot in reverse; all the present day scenes of the film were shot first. The college scenes were shot later.

 • Aamir, who is known for his prepping procedure to look convincing in every role he plays, was on a strict diet and even avoided eating his birthday cake. Talking about it the actor had said, “I am surviving on milk and few bananas as I have been asked to lose weight for the role.”
 •And last but not least there is a chance that the iconic film will have a sequel. Aamir had once revealed that Abhijat Joshi is writing the sequel to the film.
