Plot
The story revolves around Pooja who belongs to a typical middle class Gujarati household but strives to fulfill her dream to become a film director just like Karan Johar. Pooja takes her first bold step towards fulfilling her dream of becoming a film director by making the decision to join a hip n' happening college like St. Martin's while keeping her father in the dark about this. When Pooja enters the awe-inspiring yet strange world of St. Martin's along with her best friend Mandy, they are immediately thrown into a world of myriad experiences; a culture that is alien, modern and sometimes shocking. On her very first day in college, the simple and straightforward, Pooja comes face to face with the hip and high-class students of St. Martins's and is made intensely aware of her middle class looks and attitudes. But, ever optimistic, she not only accepts this new world but decides to take everything in her stride. Here begins Pooja's journey of constantly learning from this newfound society while keeping herself untouched by its worldliness. The fire and desire within her to make her mark in the film industry drives and inspires her through thick and thin. Modern in approach and dynamic in thinking, Pooja struggles with her orthodox family and economic barriers; sometimes succeeding, sometimes failing, sometimes confident, sometimes fraught with insecurities, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing but yet always emerging a winner! The cast received accolades from several critics, notably the performances of Sama Sikandar and Amit Jain.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“But, when to Sin our byast Nature leans,
The careful Devil is still at hand with means;
And providently Pimps for ill desires:
The Good Old Cause, reviv’d, a Plot requires,
Plots, true or false, are necessary things,
To raise up Common-wealths and ruine Kings.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
“We have defined a story as a narrative of events arranged in their time-sequence. A plot is also a narrative of events, the emphasis falling on causality. “The king died and then the queen died” is a story. “The king died, and then the queen died of grief” is a plot. The time sequence is preserved, but the sense of causality overshadows it.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
