A small-town boy needs to break through the class divide to gain acceptance from his childhood sweetheart who is in love with big city ideals.
Director: Aanand Rai
Writer: Himanshu Sharma
Stars: Dhanush, Sonam Kapoor, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub
Story Line:
The pundit's son Kundan (Dhanush) has fallen for the 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 idealistic and political culture of the place. She discovers a
long-lost strength as she confronts and then falls for student leader
Akram (Abhay Deol). The film takes a turn when Zoya returns to her
hometown after eight long years only to find some things changed, and
others surprisingly the same.
