More so the characters and the setting ... I wouldn’t say the story

5 point someone was abt 3 guys who suck at their grades in IIT because of the pressures of the system and the need to conform...so they get sick of it and attempt to steal papers and get caught and almost thrown out...but they somehow manage to pass through with pass grades and secure some jobs except Ryan( aamirs character in the book) who has the lowest gpa of them all...meanwhile the deans daughter and Madhavans char have a thing as a side plot...and sharmans character has financial pressures and attempts suicide when he gets caught stealing papers...a teacher who understands them helps them out and prevents them from getting rusticated ..that’s it 


3 idiots has this whole arc of searching for a friend, Rancho is actually the topper because he dosent conform , he’s with the deans daughter, the quest for excellence message, The flashback and forward, the individual scenes themselves the whole change of mind Boman Irani has after the delivery scene, Rancho being a poor boy who only wanted to study and didn’t care abt having a degree ...all of that is the screenplay writers 


It’s definitely inspired and adapted...had they not credited him it would be glaringly obvious ...but they did ...and they did make changes to the story and changed the screenplay and message  completely ..

So if he feels they breached his payment terms that’s a diff issue ...
