Plot Summary

Pundit's son Kundan (Dhanush) has fallen for a girl at first sight. That they're both kids makes us dismiss it as a meaningless crush. But a few years later, the boy is still in love with the girl, Zoya (Sonam Kapoor). When she's in school, he follows her around holding her hand and getting slapped in the process. Finally, she relents because of his "consistency". The film shifts cities when Zoya gets into JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University), and through her, we are introduced to the place's idealistic and political culture. She discovers a long-lost strength as she confronts, then falls for, student leader Akram (Abhay Deol). Zoya returns to her hometown after eight long years only to find some things changed and others surprisingly the same.—Sonia Chopra
