The film begins with wildlife photographer Farhan Qureshi ([[R. Madhavan]]) boarding an airplane from [[Delhi]] when he receives a phone call from Chatur Ramalingam ([[Omi Vaidya]]), his biggest rival from college, who claims to be knowing the whereabouts of his long-lost college friend, Ranchhoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad ([[Aamir Khan]]), also known as Rancho. Shocked at learning this, Farhan immediately fakes a heart attack to create an emergency landing of his flight and is rushed back to the airport in a wheelchair. Farhan later manages to escape from the airport in a taxi and meets with another college friend, Raju Rastogi ([[Sharman Joshi]]). Subsequently, the duo races to their former college campus, the Imperial College of Engineering (ICE), and meets up with Chatur, who reminds them both of the bet he had made with Rancho ten years ago, about who would end up more successful in the next ten years, and boasts to them both about him being the prosperous vice president of a reputable company in the United States. Frustrated, Farhan and Raju berate Chatur for wasting their time when Chatur reveals that he has located Rancho's home in [[Shimla]] and the three of them begin their journey from Delhi in search of Rancho. | The film begins with wildlife photographer Farhan Qureshi ([[R.

Over a flashback ten years prior, it is shown that Farhan joined the prestigious ICE in his first year of college since his father ([[Parikshit Sahni]]) forced him to pursue engineering despite his passion for wildlife photography. Farhan befriends his two hostel roommates; Raju, whose family has hopes that he will bring them out of poverty and is afraid of both failure and job, and Rancho, who comes from a wealthy family and is passionate about experimenting with different scientific theories. Rancho's carefree approach to education always results in him being at odds with the [[Dean (education)|director]] of the ICE, Dr. Viru Sahastrabuddhe ([[Boman Irani]]), who believes in a strict and competitive education system and is nicknamed "Virus" by the ICE students. When a senior student named Joy Lobo ([[Ali Fazal]]) is denied graduation by Virus on grounds of failure to follow his project deadline, Rancho recreates Joy's project of a [[Unmanned aerial vehicle|drone camera]] with the help of Farhan and Raju in an attempt to cheer him up. Unfortunately, Joy commits [[suicide by hanging]] in his room before he can see the drone camera come to life, provoking Rancho to confront Virus about the extreme pressure placed on the ICE students. An offended Virus writes letters to Farhan and Raju's parents explaining that Rancho is a bad influence to their children, causing the trio to be confronted by Farhan and Raju's parents at home. | Over a flashback ten years prior, it is shown that Farhan joined the prestigious ICE in his first year of college since his father ([[Parikshit Sahni]]) forced him to pursue engineering despite his passion for wildlife photography.

An offended Virus writes letters to Farhan and Raju's parents explaining that Rancho is a bad influence to their children, causing the trio to be confronted by Farhan and Raju's parents at home. One night, the hungry trio gatecrashes a marriage ceremony to enjoy the dinner and befriends Virus' younger daughter, Pia ([[Kareena Kapoor]]), only to later realise that the marriage is for Pia's older sister, Mona ([[Mona Singh]]). | ||
Although initially upset by Rancho's behaviour, Pia falls in love with him after Rancho pranks her shallow, materialistic boyfriend, Suhas Tandon (Sanjay Lafont), in an attempt to demonstrate his obsession about money and status. As a result, Pia angrily breaks up with Suhas after he abuses her for wearing an antique watch which belonged to her late mother. Meanwhile, Virus warns Farhan and Raju about the effects of them being friends with Rancho by pointing out the modest financial situations of their families, provoking Raju to move in with Chatur, a [[Tamil people|Tamil]], Uganda-born, arrogant, competitive student who believes in learning by rote memorization but is not fluent in [[Hindi]]. Chatur is nicknamed "Silencer" by the ICE students as he consumes some memory-enhancing pills with the side-effect of silent but lethal flatulence. In an attempt to teach Chatur a lesson about memorization, Rancho and Farhan make obscene modifications, like "chamatkar" ("miracle") to "balatkar" ("rape") and "dhan" ("wealth") to "stan" ("bosoms"), to the script of Chatur's Teachers' Day speech. After a disastrous speech in front of Virus, the Minister of Education and the ICE professors, a humiliated and furious Chatur drunkenly challenges Rancho to meet with him after ten years and see who is more successful. On the night before their final exams, Raju's paralyzed father (Mukund Bhatt) suffers from a medical emergency, but Rancho enlists Pia's help and rushes Raju's father to the hospital on time on Pia's scooter. After learning from Pia and the doctor how the timely intervention saved his father's life, Raju realises his mistake and reconciles with Rancho and Farhan. At the end of their first year in the ICE, Rancho comes first in the class, while Farhan and Raju are last and second to last, respectively. During the yearly class photograph, Rancho makes a bet with Virus that if either Raju or Farhan gets a job from the on-campus interviews, Virus will shave off his moustache. | |||
Back in the present, Farhan, Raju and Chatur arrive in Shimla to meet Rancho, but are extremely shocked to come across a completely different man (Javed Jaffrey) identifying himself as "Ranchhoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad", whose face is pasted over that of Rancho in their first year class photograph with an ICE degree of Rancho's name. When Farhan and Raju ask Chatur how he got Rancho's address, he reveals that he managed to do so when his secretary had come to Shimla to make a business deal with "Phunsukh Wangdu", a sensational scientist and inventor with 400 patents to credit. On learning this, Farhan and Raju confront the so-called "Ranchhoddas", who is initially reluctant to reveal anything and threatens the duo with a gun, but when Farhan and Raju threaten to flush his late father's ashes down the toilet, he explains that he is the real Ranchhoddas and the "Rancho" at the ICE was his family's gardener's son, who was incredibly intelligent and gifted and was adopted by the Chanchad family after being orphaned. While Ranchhoddas himself went to London for four years, his father (Arun Bali) paid for Rancho to attend the ICE on his son's name on condition that he cut off all contact with everyone there after graduating. Rancho, who was more interested in learning than in getting a degree, agreed but warned Ranchhoddas afterwards that "two idiots" would come searching for him one day. Ranchhoddas tells Farhan and Raju that he is grateful for what all Rancho did and provides them with his real address in Ladakh, where Rancho is promptly leading a simple life as a schoolteacher, and Farhan, Raju and Chatur begin their journey once again from Shimla in search of Rancho. | Back in the present, Farhan, Raju and Chatur arrive in Shimla to meet Rancho, but are extremely shocked to come across a completely different man (Javed Jaffrey) identifying himself as "Ranchhoddas Shyamaldas Chanchad", whose face is pasted over that of Rancho in their first year class photograph with an ICE degree of Rancho's name.
