We now know that the blockbuster movie 3 Idiots was made from the India’s and Asia’s best selling book FIVE POINT SOMEONE by Chetan Bhagat.But in real the writer and author of this book Mr.Chetan Bhagat is not happy with the directors and makes of 3 Idiots. The main director and producer of movie 3 Idiots are Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Rajkumar Hirani who made the Super Hit Blockbuster Munnabhai M.B.B.S and Lage Raho Munnabhai with Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Varshi. According to Chetan Bhagat, the makers of 3 Idiots had not given him enough credit in the film 3 Idiots which was based on his book.

Produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and directed by Hirani, 3 Idiots created box office history by fetching Rs175 crore just days after it was released in 1,750 theatres across the world on Christmas day, which makes it the biggest opening for a Hindi film this past decade.

While Bhagat believes that around 70% of the film is based on his book, the makers of the film have previously said that only 2-5% of it is based on the book and that it was like an original script after the changes.

He alleged in his blog that, contrary to what the makers have said, much of 3 Idiots is from his original.

In an interview to Mint Lounge on the eve of the film’s release, Hirani had said: “For cinema, we had to introduce a distinct plot since the book was more a slice-of-life kind of narrative. I had told Chetan about the changes and he was fine with the changes.”

On this comment of Hirani, Mr.Chetan Bhagat says that there were many scenes which were directly copied from my book which was not a part of our deal.

“I don’t care what Raju has said or what I have said before the release of the film. I saw the film only on the day of the premiere so what I said then was based on half the information.”

“My family sat in the theatre shocked, as sequence after sequence came from the book. 2-5% means three-six minutes, and I had told my family to look for the few FPS (Five Point Someone) moments and note them. However, there were so many that it became impossible to keep track. The plot line was same—people meet at ragging, the first class with definition of machine, the friends separate… From Alok (Raju) jumping to stealing the papers and calling out from Cherian’s (Virus’) office—the book came alive on screen. I was surprised and happy that FPS has made it in such a grand way.”

The book’s plot was adapted by Hirani and Abhijat Joshi, who together wrote the script and screenplay for the film.

The backstory of the principal’s son committing suicide and leaving behind a letter that his sister hides from their father is picked from the book. In the movie, Kareena Kapoor reveals the truth of her brother’s death to her father; her character in the book does the same.

The characterization of Rancho and his backstory is largely original. While the focus of the book is more on the pressures of life in an engineering college, the film script focuses on how education is imparted in Indian colleges—how our educational system is inherently antithetical to knowledge and free thinking.

Now we have to see what happens between the team of 3 Idiots and the author of the FIVE POINT SOMEONE Mr.Chetan Bhagat.If this news is not the rumor than the Image of 3 Idiots Team will surely go down.
