3 idiots - Chetan Bhagat controversy

Initially I felt that the Commercial film team of 3 idiots had taken advantage of Chetan Bhagat but after seeing the movie, the freshness and the humour of the movie could not have been written in 5 point someone. Earlier I felt that I should read the book before commenting but then felt that spending 5 hours wading through 5 point someone would not be worth my time.

English August and Namesake were completely based on the novels. The English August movie truncated the book substantially but the treatment was same.

The difference in the plot between the novel and movie is substantial and there should have been no reason for Chetan Bhagat to have felt aggrieved even if there were some similarities.
