Set in IIT, in the early '90s, Five Point Someone portrays the lives of the protagonist Hari and his two friends Ryan and Alok. It explores the darker side of IIT, one in which students- having worked for years to make it into the institute-struggle to maintain their grades, keep their friends and have some kind of life outside studies.

Funny, dark and non-stop, Five Point Someone is the story of three friends whose measly five-point something GPAs come in the way of everything-their friendship, their love life, their future. Will they make it?

Chetan Bhagat is the author of two blockbuster novels- Five Point Someone (2004) and one night @call center (2005)-which continue to top bestseller lists. In March 2008, the New York Times called him the �biggest-selling English-language novelist in India�s history�. Both his books have inspired major Bollywood films. One night @ the call center is an international success having been published in the UK, US, and translated into French, Italian, Dutch and Russian.
