Synopsis

Rascal. Joker. Dreamer. Genius... You've never met a college student quite like "Rancho." From the moment he arrives at India's most prestigious university, Rancho's outlandish schemes turn the campus upside down—along with the lives of his two newfound best friends. Together, they make life miserable for "Virus," the school’s uptight and heartless dean. But when Rancho catches the eye of the dean's daughter, Virus sets his sights on flunking out the "3 idiots" once and for all.

Logic fail by nina137 · 12 Apr 2016
Farhan's line contains a technical error regarding family relationships. Since the baby is Mona's child, he is Virus's daughter's son, which makes him a "nata," not a "pouta," as "pouta" specifically refers to a grandson from a son.

Continuity by dennismclean · 29 Aug 2016
The group photo in 3 Idiots changes significantly across the three times it is shown. While Rancho stays in his original position in every shot, the placement of everyone else around him shifts or disappears entirely between the different versions of the image.

Continuity by natalie30 · 23 Nov 2011
When Rancho stands up after being beaten at the end of the film, his pants have very little sand on them. However, when the scene cuts to him meeting Chatur, the amount of sand has noticeably increased. It is a clear continuity inconsistency regarding his costume, as the dirt and debris on his clothing did not match between the two shots.

It’s almost precious that they thought we wouldn't notice Raju’s "website" is just a static screenshot. The Recycle Bin sitting right there in the corner and the complete lack of an internet connection icon really sell the illusion of a live browser session.

The continuity in that landing sequence is definitely off. During the touchdown, the plane clearly has four wheels on each side, but when it cuts to the side shot, the landing gear has changed to a two-wheel setup similar to a 737. It is one of those obvious editing mistakes where the equipment doesn't match between the different camera angles.
