Five word
I like the writing style of Chetan Bhagat. He writes books you can read at a go with our getting bored most of the times. Mostly because one is able to relate with it, some how or the other. Other than that I must admit that all his novels have the makings of a typical bollywood masala film. But moive making is a different art than story telling. You need to understand the nuances & technicalities when you adapt a novel into a movie. While all of his books have gone on to best sellers, the movies inspired them have been a dud & super duper block buster.

Reason hello had a very poor star cast, even worse direction, screenplay & performance. He copied everything word by word. No creativity, no imagination, no nothing. result a poor cinematic experience.
3 idiots while taking the basic plot out of the movie developed different charecters. My mind didn't revert back to the book to understand them. They expressed their own uniqueness. this along with n no of factors forged together in one of the best movies of all time.
