Plot

[edit]

The story begins in Ajmer, in the state of Rajasthan, where Rajnandini Khandelwal passes her 12th class examination and is the state-topper, winning three scholarships. Everyone is happy, but in keeping with her father's conservative tastes, he and his wife want Rajnandini to get married. However, she wants to study further and wishes for her mother to support her, and so her mother tricks the father to send her to Mumbai to a relative's house, ostensibly to learn the culinary arts, as preparation for her marriage. However, secretly, the mother enrolled her in a college, and instead of staying with her aunt, as had been agreed with the father, arrangements have been made by the mother and her sister (aunt) to put her up in a hostel.

At the college, the principal instructs Rajnandini that she must join one of the various extracurricular societies, and so she volunteers for the college's Dramatics Society (DS), headed by Vivaan. When she introduces herself as Rajnandini Khandelwal, the others mock her name as being "long," and Vivaan abbreviates her name to "RJ."

The DS under Vivaan decides to participate in a National Theatre Festival, and Vivaan chooses William Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew; however, when a member of the DS objects that the play is "MCPish," Vivaan declares that he will modify it to remove the misogyny and that the play would be known as The Taming of the Shrew - Reborn.

Vivaan and RJ become good friends, and love seems to be in the air. RJ helps Vivaan to overcome his hostility towards his demanding father and come to a compromise about his (Vivaan's) future career possibilities.

But on her birthday, RJ and her friends-including Vivaan go to her aunt's house, where, surprisingly, her dad opens the door. He is enraged with her for being out partying with her friends and her modernized dress and demeanor. He takes her back to Ajmer, where her marriage was fixed with the son of an old business associate, Nareshchandra.

A heart-broken Vivaan decides to go to Ajmer with the entire DS gang, reaching RJ's home during the preparations for her engagement ceremony.

On being confronted for the real reason of his presence by RJ's hostile father, Vivaan confesses that his play cannot work without RJ and that he wants her to resume her leading part, even if only for the final play. RJ's father angrily rejects the request and denounces Vivaan and his friends as having no regard for or respect for traditions.

However, as the day goes by, RJ's father is under increasing stress due to Nareshchandra's escalating financial demands and comes to appreciate Vivaan and his friends for their help in meeting these expectations, coming to the realization that "one's own exploit and abuse while strangers aid and succor," so much so that, as RJ and the groom are to exchange vows, her father forbids her, breaks off the marriage alliance with Nareshchandra's son, and decides to allow RJ to pursue her passion and fulfill her dreams.

The play wins the 1st prize, and everyone in RJ's and Vivaan's families is extremely happy; Vivaan and RJ get engaged, and RJ is sent to New York to hone her natural passion for choreography, after which it is planned that they will get married. The story ends with the last scene, where everyone is at the airport to drop RJ.
