That same year, Bhagat left his day job as a banker to write full-time. It grossed more than Dh92 million at the box office and won 16 International Indian Film Academy awards, 10 Star Screen awards and six Filmfare awards. Loosely based on his book Five Point Someone, the comedy-drama became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time in India, with considerable success abroad. It was the phenomenal success of the 2009 film 3 Idiots that focused the world’s attention on Bhagat. With the forthcoming release of Kai Po Che, based on Chetan Bhagat's book The 3 Mistakes of My Life, the 39-year-old Indian writer, columnist and motivational speaker is in the news again.
