Description: **Student of the Year 2012**
**Storyline:**
The former principal of St. Teresa’s High School in Dehradun, Dean Yogendra Vashisht, has grown old and fallen ill. His final wish is to reunite with the students from his last batch, who participated in the “Student of the Year” competition. Some of them visit him at the hospital and reflect on their regrets from their high school days a decade ago, blaming themselves for the Dean’s decline in health. The story then shifts to a flashback set ten years earlier at the school.
Rohan “Ro” Nanda, the wealthiest and most popular student, is the son of business tycoon Ashok Nanda, the school’s chief trustee. While Ashok expects Rohan to follow in his footsteps as a businessman, Rohan is passionate about music. His girlfriend, Shanaya Singhania, is a fashion-obsessed socialite and the most sought-after girl on campus. However, she feels discontent with her family life due to her mother’s repeated marriages to wealthy men. Shanaya often clashes with Rohan over his flirtations with Tanya Israni, her rival.
Abhimanyu “Abhi” Singh, a new student from a middle-class family, arrives at the school and quickly becomes the center of attention. Despite being an orphan living with his relatives, Abhi aspires to become a successful businessman like Ashok Nanda. Initially, Rohan and Abhi don’t get along but eventually become close friends. While Rohan warns Abhi to stay away from Shanaya romantically, Abhi believes Shanaya is better suited for Rohan.
At the wedding of Rohan’s elder brother, Shanaya witnesses Rohan flirting with Tanya again, realizing he’s betraying her. During the sangeet ceremony, Shanaya flirts with Abhi to make Rohan jealous, which works, but Rohan later discovers her true intentions.
This coming-of-age drama explores themes of friendship, rivalry, and ambition within the competitive environment of high school.
