Fun connection—"3 Idiots" is a Bollywood film about the journey of three engineering students at an Indian college, inspired by Wangchuk's (the engineer's) life!

oh i was under the (probably mistaken) assumption that it is based off of 'five point someone' novel by mr. chetan-bhagat ?

IIRC "3 Idiots" was indeed based on "Five point someone", but the plot substantially changed. There was a court case filed by the author, etc.
