Presented by:

Section B - Group 3


2/25


3/25

Each character has been written (and researched, for that matter) very

beautifully, so much so that you can relate a bit of yourself in each, be it the

free-spirited Pia (Kareena Kapoor), or Farhans ideals clashing with hisparents, or Rajus constant fears and himself getting trapped in the myths

of the world, or even Ranchos ways of getting past the system by doingthings his own way. Rancho (Amir Khan), Farhan (Madhavan) and Raju

(Sharman Joshi) are classmates in a premier engineering college in India.

They are from different backgrounds (one ultra rich, one middle class and

another poor economic background). Dean Viru (Boman Irani) follows astrict regime and believes in putting peer pressure on students.

Introduction

RANCHO

Rancho has the courage to give wings to his dreams and

imagination, yet he doesnt forget to help others realize

their dreams making both Farhan and Raju follow their

hearts. He also spent time to make Joy Lobos plane fly.

A do-gooder in the world who hasnt forgotten the meaning

of the word 'good', a man of rebellious spirit in a world

that is ruled by conventions, a guy who believes that excellence is the

be-all-and-end-all of life and that success is only one of the many faces ofexcellence, that one should study to know the subject and not to get the

grade; A man who talks from the heart and preaches about the heart to a

world that has forgotten the relevance of the word, 'heart'!
