The film continues to draw record crowds and is setting new benchmarks for Bollywood films.Inspired from Chetan Bhagat's novel, "Five Point Someone" the film chronicles the tale of three friends together in an engineering college. What seems to have touched the right chord in people's heart is the witty writing and terrific acting and the incisive look which the film takes at the education system in India. Shot on location the film has caught the audience's imagination like never before. From a small town like Wardha to a city like Chandigarh, from Mumbai to Delhi and from New York to Sydney theatres have reported record breaking collections.
