Plot:
In their first year of college, students Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogi join the prestigious Imperial
College of Engineering (ICE) in Delhi and meet Ranchhoddas Shamaldas Chanchad ("Rancho"),
their roommate. Rancho is passionate about experimenting and consequently tops the class.
Rancho's playful attitude to engineering puts him at odds with the rigid approach of the college's
director, Dr. Viru Sahastrabuddhe (nicknamed "Virus" by the students). When a student named Joy
Lobo commits suicide after failing to meet a project deadline, Rancho confronts Virus about the
extreme pressure placed on ICE students, but is rudely rebuffed.
One night, the trio gatecrashes a wedding party, not knowing that it is for Virus's daughter Mona.
Mona's younger sister, Pia, is initially upset by Rancho’s behavior, but then attracted to him after he
pranks her boyfriend Suhas to demonstrate his obsession with money and status. Pia breaks up with
Suhas after he scolds her for wearing a cheap watch, which belonged to her mother. An infuriated
Virus warns Farhan and Raju about the effects of them being friends with Rancho by pointing out the
modest financial situations of their families, scaring Raju into bunking with Chatur "Silencer"
Ramalingam, a competitive, arrogant student who believes in learning by rote memorization. To
teach Chatur a lesson about memorization, Rancho and Farhan secretly make obscene
modifications to the script of the Teachers Day speech that Chatur (who is not fluent in Hindi) is to
deliver in honor of a visit by the Minister of Education, replacing chamatkar (magic)
with balatkar (screw) and dhan (money) with stan (bosoms). Humiliated and furious, Chatur
challenges Rancho to meet in ten years and see who is more successful.
The night before their final exams, Raju's paralyzed father experiences a heart attack. With Pia's
help, Rancho rushes Raju's father to the hospital on Pia's scooter. After realizing that Rancho saved
his father's life, Raju reconciles with him. At the end of the year, Rancho comes first in the class,
while Farhan and Raju are last and second to last, respectively. During the yearly class photo,
Rancho makes a bet with Virus that if either Raju or Farhan gets a job from on-campus interviews,
Virus will shave his mustache.
One night in their fourth year of college, Rancho tells his friends why they consistently place last:
Farhan's passion is photography, not engineering, and Raju lacks self-confidence. After Farhan and
Raju promise to confront their problems if Rancho confesses his feelings for Pia, the three of them
drunkenly break into Virus' house, and while exfiltrating, Farhan and Raju drunkenly urinated on the
letterbox of Virus. Virus spots them during their escape, recognizing Raju, and the next day gives
Raju an ultimatum: to incriminate his friends or be expelled himself. Distraught, Raju attempts
suicide but survives, leading to Virus revoking the expulsion. Raju recovers, thanks to the support
and care of his friends and family. Raju is successful in a job interview, while Farhan convinces his
father to let him become a photographer.
Virus then tries to sabotage Raju's chances of success by setting an unfairly difficult exam. With
Pia's help, Rancho and Farhan break into Virus' office and steal the exam paper. Upon being given
the paper, Raju refuses to cheat and throws it away, but the three of them are caught and expelled.
Pia confronts her father over her brother's suicide, which was prompted by similar pressure placed
on him by Virus. That night, during a heavy rainstorm, Mona, who is pregnant, goes into labor.
Unable to drive to a hospital, Rancho modifies a vacuum cleaner into a ventouse and delivers
the baby with the help of Pia, Farhan, and Raju. A grateful Virus acknowledges Rancho by
giving him a valuable space pen, which he promised to give only to his most distinguished
student, and revokes the trio's expulsions. On graduation day, Rancho suddenly disappears.

Climax/problem in the story:


With a stopover to rescue Pia from her wedding to Suhas, the trio head to Ladakh and
eventually meet the real Phunsukh Wangdu. While Chatur has only his eyes on winning the
bet, Pia and Rancho's reunion and kiss is a sight to behold against the backdrop of the majestic
Pangong Lake in Ladakh
Resolution:
After that, Rancho was surprised to see pia driving towards him in bridal dress and he was more
surprised to see his old friends who came to meet him. Most surprised of all was Chatur when he
found out that Rancho is pungsukh Wangdu, the scientist he has been closing up a deal with him
for his business.

Moral of the story:


Throughout the story, Rancho is telling his friends that don't chase success. But achieve
excellence and success will come to you themselves. But, unfortunately, we only want success
and don't focus on excellence because it demands hard work, commitment, and passion.

What are the problem in the story:


Chatur vs Rancho - Pick Your Hero
This movie has not one but two conflicts. The first one is between Rancho and the eccentric
professor Virus. But they are not equals, so let us keep them aside. The second conflict is
between equals Rancho and Chatur.
