Movie Details:
Farhan Qureshi (R. Madhavan) is a young man who has just boarded a flight which is about to take off when he receives a call from someone who has news for him and, upon ending the call, realizes that he needs to get off as soon as possible. Since the flight has already taken off, he fakes a heart attack to make way for an emergency landing of the plane, and once within the airport premises, blows his cover in front of the confused medics who try to stop him. However, he escapes to the airport exit, faking his identity in the process to find a taxi driver, and calls up his friend Raju Rastogi (Sharman Joshi), asking him to be ready soon so he can pick him up, as he exclaims that long lost friend, Rancho, has been found. Raju joins Farhan, though he amusingly finds out he has forgotten his pants in a hurry. They reach the terrace of the Imperial College of Engineering, or ICE, their Alma mater, where they find their former classmate, Chatur "Silencer" Ramalingam (Omi Vaidya) waiting for them. Chatur, who was the one to have called the two, pesters them with details of his lavish life in the United States and exclaims that he kept his promise of returning to the same location, 10 years after he had challenged Rancho with the same. Although Farhan retaliates with Raju getting angry, Chatur reveals he knows where Rancho is – he's apparently living in Shimla. The trio sets off on a road journey in Chatur's car, with Farhan narrating the story of Rancho, who filled his and Raju's lives with fun and joy.
In the year 1999, Farhan enters the prestigious ICE in Delhi, and meets Manmohan a.k.a. "Millimetre", an adolescent boy helping the students with random chores, who escorts him to his room. There, he meets his roommate, Raju, who constantly engages in religious worship. During the time their seniors rag them, a newbie, Ranchhoddas "Rancho" Shamaldas Chanchad (Aamir Khan) arrives, and in an attempt to avoid being ragged, injures the head senior in the process by pulling off a simple trick. Farhan and Raju soon realize that Rancho, new in campus, is their roommate.
Millimeter is persuaded by Rancho the next day to sneak into school and get educated. While Farhan chose to pursue engineering over his passion for photography to appease his father, Raju has taken the course in an attempt to end his family's poverty and is always afraid of failing. Rancho, on the other hand, is genuinely passionate in science and engineering. He believes in hands-on learning and tends to give unorthodox answers in class, resulting in him coming into conflict with the professors, particularly the institution's director, Viru Sahastrabuddhe (Boman Irani), whom the ICE community nicknames "Virus", and whose traditional and strict philosophies on education contrast sharply with Rancho's carefree love of learning. Meanwhile, Chatur, who has a habit of silently farting, is shown to be an arrogant student with little knowledge of Hindi due to his Ugandan-Tamilian upbringing, who is obsessed with topping the exams and invariably learns by rote.
Sometime later, the trio finds that a student named Joy Lobo (Ali Fazal), whose interest in machines was as much as Rancho, committed suicide by hanging himself, which was caused by depression after Virus informs Joy's father that Joy would be unable to graduate that year due to a delay in his submission of an assignment. Joy had taken longer as he wanted to perfect his breakthrough drone design of a quad-copter, and also due to a break on account of his father's brief illness. Rancho criticises Virus' method of teaching and tries to show him how much pressure engineers face when they study, angering him further. Virus writes a letter to the Qureshis and Rastogis, and Rancho visits the two families, though none of them is able to pacify his hunger. Rancho suddenly notices a wedding in front of him while walking, and the trio then gatecrashes the wedding of Virus' elder daughter, Mona to eat good food. They meet and befriend Pia (Kareena Kapoor), who Rancho advises not to marry her fiancée, Suhas Tandon (Olivier Sanjay Lafont) because he's madly obsessed with expensive jewellery, brands, and prices and has no true love for her, by giving a demo on Suhas' attitude by spilling mint sauce on his shoes to annoy him. As it turns out, Pia is revealed to be Virus' daughter. When Virus spots the trio, who find out that the wedding is of Pia's elder sister Mona (Mona Singh), he summons Farhan and Raju on the next working day and warns them of the consequences of being friends with Rancho by comparing their families' incomes. He tells them that Rancho comes from a very rich family and does not need to worry about getting good grades and making a career.
Affected, Raju moves out and into Chatur's room. During the Teachers Day celebration, Chatur is humiliated when he delivers a Hindi speech modified by Rancho and as a result, he bets Rancho that ten years later, they would see who is more successful. Sometime later, Pia is at the mall with Suhas and spots Rancho with an invention named after Virus; The Virus Inverter. Rancho explains to Pia that he dislikes the way her father teaches his students and that they end up overly materialistic like Suhas. Rancho plays a prank on Suhas, pretending that Pia lost her watch, to prove that Suhas places more value on expensive things than on her. Fed up with Suhas' behaviour, she tells him off. Rancho and Pia save Raju's dying father; Raju reconciles with his friends while Pia falls in love with Rancho. The trio then writes exams the next day, but only Rancho tops, while Raju and Farhan score last. During a photography session of the batch, Rancho, who sits besides Virus and Chatur, earns a bet from Virus, who promises that he will get his mustache shaved.
Farhan, Raju and Chatur, at present, finally reach Shimla. When they reach the Chanchad Palace, Rancho's residence, they instead end up encountering a very different man instead, who reveals that he is indeed Ranchhoddas Shamaldas Chanchad . Initially shocked, Farhan suddenly spots Rancho's degree on one of the walls, and below it, the same batch photograph they had clicked, but the trio is shocked to find that instead of Rancho, the image of this real Ranchhoddas has been morphed into it. Perplexed, Farhan and Raju inquire more about Rancho's location from Chatur, who reveals that in pursuit of a world renowned scientist, Phunsukh Wangdu, who has 400 patents to his credit and is currently being searched by the Japanese and Chatur himself since a year to seek an appointment for a business proposal, he came to identify Rancho's location with the help of Phunsukh's secretary Tracy, and the two spot a photo given by Chatur in which Tracy had probably accidentally captured Rancho in her selfie. Farhan, convinced that there is more to the story than meets the eye, decides to confront the Ranchhoddas Shamaldas Chanchad they had just met. However, as this Ranchhoddas pulls out a rifle on Farhan and Raju, Chatur runs out of the Chanchad Palace in fear, but Farhan and Raju grab hold of Shamaldas Chanchad's ashes and threaten to pull a confession out of "Ranchhoddas", who ends up inadvertently confessing that he is actually the real Ranchhoddas Shamaldas Chanchad, and that the Ranchhoddas they knew, or rather addressed as Rancho, was actually Chhote, the son of their family gardener, who had a great interest in learning and would sit in on classes to accumulate knowledge. Once, when Chhote was caught by the school headmaster while solving a mathematical problem, he was summoned by the master to Shamaldas, who insisted that he be sent in lieu of Ranchoddas, who flew off and stayed in London for the four years that Chhote, or the "Rancho" they knew, masqueraded as Ranchhoddas Shamaldas Chanchad, so that the real Ranchhoddas could have a degree, while "Rancho" only wanted knowledge. Shamaldas also asked Chhote to cut off all contact with his ICE friends, but Chhote would always personally remind Ranchhoddas that, some day, two idiots would come looking for him, and he won't be able to stop that. Teary-eyed, Farhan and Raju promise to keep the real Ranchhoddas Shamaldas Chanchad's story a secret as he gives them Chhote's address, and reunite with Chatur, to whom they reveal that "Rancho" is in Ladakh, and the location is of a school, to which Chatur mockingly responds by concluding that Rancho is now a schoolteacher, and has probably failed the challenge.
The film then flashes back to the past, when, one night during their final year, Farhan and Raju are upset that they are trailing behind in their grades every year and that Rancho is always in the front of every picture. Farhan and Raju accuse Rancho of not confessing his feelings to Pia, and they make a bet – if Rancho proposes to Pia, Raju will give up his meaningless rituals and multiple finger rings, while Farhan will confess to his father that he loves photography. The three friends drunkenly break into the Sahastrabuddhe residence after Rancho accepts the challenge. As the trio escapes, Virus recognises Raju and, on the next day, threatens to expel him unless he writes a letter recommending Rancho for expulsion. Unwilling to betray Rancho or disappoint his family, Raju unsuccessfully attempts suicide and ends up in a coma. With intensive care and support from his friends, Raju recovers just in time for his first job interview on the campus, which he succeeds in cracking. Meanwhile, Rancho and Pia post Farhan's letter to his favourite Hungarian wildlife photographer Andre Istvan, who offers him a position as an assistant. On Rancho's advice, he communicates his dream to his father, who though reluctant at first, gives his blessings for the sake of his son's happiness.
Infuriated by this and Rancho's influence, Virus sets a difficult final exam paper to fail Raju, wherein Pia tries to help the trio by revealing to them the location of the exam paper in her father's office; the film flashes again to present day, when Farhan suddenly remembers Pia and convinces Raju during a minute's halt to get her to elope. They find out that Pia is getting married to Suhas, and gatecrash the ceremony secretly. Farhan confronts Pia and reveals to her that Rancho has been found, but while she initially conveys her opinion of a changed Suhas, she hears Suhas cry out after Raju, who has substituted himself as an imposter in place of one of the housekeeping staff members, intentionally ruins his wedding robe. He escapes, and later, manages to replace Suhas during the actual wedding. When he asks Pia to keep mum after revealing his identity, she gets afraid, and he ends up revealing himself. Virus is shocked, but Mona holds him back. Raju convinces Pia to run away so they can all reunite with Rancho, and Suhas turns up a second too late, as Pia and Raju are conversing. Finally, they elope, though they confuse Pia further when they state that they aren't sure if Rancho is married. Pia remains miffed.
The film flashes back again to the past, when Farhan and Rancho successfully manage to steal a copy of the difficult question paper for Raju; unfortunately, Virus finds out and expels them all. Pia confronts Virus about her brother who had committed suicide because he couldn't meet Virus' expectation of clearing the engineering exam. That same night, the pregnant Mona goes into labour during a heavy storm that cuts off all traffic and electricity in the city. Rancho and the other students help them by using their engineering knowledge to quickly modify a vacuum cleaner into a ventouse and deliver the baby with the help of Pia over a video call. A grateful Virus finally acknowledges Rancho as an extraordinary student and revokes their expulsion. On graduation day, Rancho suddenly disappears shortly after the ceremony ends.
Upon arrival in Ladakh, the four head to the village school and witness the young students' inventions, which resemble Chhote's college projects. While inquiring for Chhote, they stumble upon a lad who takes them to a room; the lad shows Farhan, now revealed to have become a successful wildlife photographer, his own books on wildlife which he wrote, and narrates that "Chhote" reads them regularly. He also shows Raju glimpses of his blogs, and narrates that "Chhote" proudly discusses Raju's research works with the kids. After similarly showing Pia her scooter helmet, he reveals that he is actually "Centimeter", a grown up Manmohan, who has now become a helper for Chhote after receiving a letter from him to help him. After a cheerful reunion between Farhan, Centimeter and Raju, Pia asks where Chhote is.
Rancho is revealed to be flying a miniature plane when Pia rides a scooter to his location and passionately kisses him when he reveals that he has always been in love with her. Farhan and Raju initially hit Rancho and then hug each other out of joy, while Chatur, unaware of Chhote's secret and thinking he is Rancho, insults and asks Chhote to sign a contract stating that he is the least successful person; Chhote does so without commenting. As Chatur walks away triumphantly, the three friends ask Chhote what his real name is, and he reveals that he is Phunsukh Wangdu, much to the other three's surprise and delight. They try to stop Chatur, who continues leaving, so Phunsukh phones him, saying he can't sign a deal with his company. Realizing that Rancho is the real Phunsukh Wangdu, a horrified Chatur accepts his defeat and pleads him to sign his contract while Phunsukh and his friends run away laughing.
In the end, Phunsukh tells everyone his theory: "Pursue excellence, and success will follow, pants down".
