Synopsis: 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.

Kundan, we were immature then.

So now we are mature. Do it now.

You're mad, Kundan.

There is nothing of that sort.

Rashmi, let's go. Come on.

Who is he?

He was my friend when I was small.

He is mad.

Listen you rickshaw driver,

don't take money from madam.

She is your sister-in-law.

Which one, brother?

The tall one who is angry.

What are you looking at?

Look in front.

You're mad.

There is nothing of that sort.

Forget me. - You forget me.

Forget me means goodbye.

The 10 year investment

has gone down the drain.

Murari, I have come at the right time.

Here's some sweet.

I heard that the priest's son

has become a widower.

Oh Lord!

What are you going to do now, mister?

Your sweetheart has lost her memory.

Hide.

Murari, shut her up.

Or I'll beat her up.

Bindiya, stop deriving

pleasure from this.

The boy is serious.

Kundan, your Lord

cannot be such a liar.

I have been fasting on Mondays

for the last 15 years.

You are not marrying Zoya.

Do you want a beating?

I had told you. I had told you.

You'll get beaten up.

Okay. Okay. Leave her.

Don't push her down

and hit her on the back.

Don't throw her out.

Don't throw her out the house.

- Rascal!

Threw her out of the house.

You moron! I curse you.

What happened, Bindiya?

Aunty, he is drunk in the afternoon.

That dog.

Banaras will rejoice

the day you marry me, Kundan.

I would rather marry a witch

than marry you.

Why you...

You are the witch.

- Yes. Break the sandal as well.

Kundan. - Shut up.

You monkey. - You're the monkey.

Since you have a tail.

Zoya. - Oh no. - Curses.

It's stuck.

Kundan, thank God I found you.

- Tell me.

I was looking for you

in the university as well.

We have a small function

at home tomorrow.

We are expecting

around 50-60 guests.

Well, I have told Sunder

to do the decoration.

You also get some of

your boys to work on it.

Will come handy.

What's happening tomorrow night?

What's happening tomorrow night?

Nothing as such.

You have come after so long.

And nothing has happened

in the house all this while.

Great. - Not bad.

Kundan, what are you doing here?

Well...

- He has come to wear bangles.

Listen. Why does she laugh

when she sees you?

Because she feels shy.

Now would she stare her eyes out

at her future husband?

A little shyness. A little shame.

This is the mark

of a woman, Murari.

No. I think you'll have

a slit wrist again.

Darn you.

Get lost.

Everyone's looking so decent.

Pal, where is your madam?

And nor is her intelligent

friend to be seen.

No problem. Both of them

must be having a bath.

Shut up.

So Kundan.

Is everything under control?

Yes, uncle.

- Handle everything.

A match is coming to see Zoya.

He is a doctor.

We'll get her married to him

if he likes her.

I will also be retiring in two years.

Where is Zoya?

What did father-in-law say?

Stop.

You are fooling me?

What nonsense, Kundan.

Let go of my hand. It hurts.

I am also hurting.

I have slit my wrist once.

Mind you, this time I'll slit yours.

What's wrong, Kundan?

Why are you acting crazy? - Okay.

Don't you know that a boy is

coming to see you this evening?

That is why your father is

having this celebration.

Mummy, is some boy coming

to see me this evening.

Yes. - Why didn't you tell me?

What should I have told you?

Your father has fixed everything.

Mummy, I am not a kid anymore

that you can do as you please.

I don't want to marry.

Zoya, don't create a scene.

Meet the boy and then let's see.

Look, he is only coming to see you.

You're not getting married

in the evening.

I have lots on my plate. Let me go.

Listen.

- Sister-in-law. Zoya. Ms. Zoya.

Kundan will attend

the evening's party, right?

How can he not come?

The guru has given him

the job of serving sherbets.

Here, take all of it.

When will you people

stop acting silly?

Drink one at least first.

Keep it. Go.

Kundan, Zoya is calling you.

- Why?

Why don't you ask her?

I didn't know of all this, Kundan.

I don't want to marry that boy.

I see. So then?

Save me from all of this, Kundan?

Otherwise I'll slit my wrist

before you do.

Don't say so, Zoya. Wait and watch.

Move.

- These days you are rarely seen.

My marriage has been fixed.

- Here.

What a shame. - Get lost.

Aren't you ashamed to be a waiter?

Why should I be ashamed?

Your prince Charles is himself

serving sherbet to these rascals.

Oh God! Why?

What do you mean why?

It's sister-in-law's party.

She is your sister-in-law. And me?

You are also sister-in-law.

And her? - She's sister-in-law too.

As if your Kundan is a superstar...

...that every girl would marry him.

Isn't he? Turn around.

"Someone's come before me.

And my heart's pounding."

"Just a glimpse of hers

has driven me crazy."

"Someone's come before me.

And my heart's pounding."

"Just a glimpse of hers

has driven me crazy."

"She will chat and meet me also."

"She'll be friends with me

sooner or later."

"Someone's come before me.

And my heart's pounding."

"Just a glimpse of hers

has driven me crazy."

Ordinary boys often lose their love

to a doctor or a engineer.

Don't be disheartened.

Murari, this is Banaras.

And if the ordinary boy loses

here as well, then he'll never win.

Is that so?

Mother. Please tell me.

Zoya will die, right?

Kundan will marry me, right?

Bindiya.

I will not do anything for you.

Spare me.

Listen, Bindiya. - No!

You act so sweet

when you need a favour.

Otherwise you keep abusing me.

You're getting mad for no reason.

Aren't you my friend?

Wait. Let me see. Hold on.

Mother, she should

do things for us, right?

Look, she's saying yes.

- See. - What do you want from me?

Come here. - Tell her the idea.

Yuck. Gross. Not at all.

Bindiya, try to understand.

I'm not doing anything

for that wretch. - Murari!

Not at all. - Murari, come on.

Catch her. - I'll never do it.

"Banarasi guy. Banarasi guy."

"Banarasi guy."

"Banarasi guy."

"Is there is a mess up or

are things messed up?"

"Banarasi guy. "Banarasi guy."

"Are we fighting together?

Or are we fighting because we are together."

"Banarasi guy. "Banarasi guy."

"Banarasi guy. "Banarasi guy."

"Banarasi guy."

"Trickery is in the blood

of every man and woman here."

"Trickery is in the blood

of every man and woman here."

"They spend their lives

at the banks of Ganga."

"Residents of the bank."

No. This is not possible.
