Plot
Former principal Dean Yogendra Vashisht (Rishi Kapoor) of St. Teresa's High School, Dehradun, had aged and fallen ill. His last wish was to see the students from his last batch, who were part of the "Student of the Year" competition. Some former students arrive at the hospital to meet the Dean and talk about their regrets from ten years ago in college. They hold themselves responsible for the lively Dean having fallen ill. The film then goes into a flashback set ten years back at the college.
The richest and most popular guy in the college, Rohan "Ro" Nanda (Varun Dhawan), is the son of a huge business tycoon Ashok Nanda (Ram Kapoor), who also is the chief trustee of the college. His father wants him to be a businessman just like him and disagrees with his passion for music. Shanaya Singhania (Alia Bhatt), a fashion addict and the most popular girl in the campus is Rohan's girlfriend. She is dissatisfied with her family, as her mother constantly divorces and marries rich men. Shanaya gets upset with Rohan's regular flirting with Tanya Israni (Sana Saeed), another student and Shanaya's arch-nemesis. Abhimanyu "Abhi" Singh (Sidharth Malhotra), a new student, arrives at the college and becomes the classy new heartthrob. An orphan from a middle-class family, lives with his aunt, uncle, and grandmother. His dream is to become a big business tycoon like Ashok Nanda. Rohan and Abhi initially don't get along but soon become best friends. Rohan introduces Shanaya to Abhi, warning Abhi not to get involved with her romantically, though Abhi convinces Rohan that Shanaya is poles apart from him and that she better be with Rohan only.
Abhi is invited to Rohan's elder brother's destination wedding in Thailand, which Shanaya and other rich family friends are attending as well. In Thailand, Shanaya sees Tanya and Rohan flirting again and gets even more upset when Rohan is rude to her and takes sides with Tanya. Abhi tells her that they can teach Rohan to respect his girlfriend. At the sangeet, Shanaya openly flirts with Abhi, attempting to make Rohan jealous. The plan works but Rohan discovers she did this to get him back on track.
On the wedding day, Rohan apologizes to her and is easily forgiven while Abhi realizes that he is in love with Shanaya. They head back to India, where the "Student Of The Year" competition, which determines the best student intellectually and also the best sportsperson, commences. The first round is the quiz in which Rohan, Abhi, Shanaya and most of their friends win. The second round is the treasure hunt. Abhi and Shanaya's team wins the hunt, though Rohan's team also qualifies. Abhi's grandmother falls sick and eventually dies. Shanaya stands by him during this difficult time. Upset with his grandmother's death, Abhi tries to send Shanaya away, but she feels attracted to him, stays back and they happen to share a kiss. Rohan sees this and is heartbroken, which leads to a heated argument and fight between the two, resulting in them becoming enemies again.
In the third round, the Prom, a confused Shanaya picks Rohan's friend Jeet Khurana (Sahil Anand) as her partner as she can't choose between Abhi and Rohan. Rohan, who disowns Jeet and ends his friendship with him, goes with Tanya and Abhi goes with Shanaya's former best friend Shruti Pathak (Manasi Rachh) after she had a split with Shanaya. Shanaya is disqualified for leaving the dance before it ends. The last round of the competition is a triathlon. Abhi is winning but slows down and Rohan wins. In the award ceremony, Rohan declines to accept the award saying it's because of his personal reasons. Yogi is abused by a drunken friend of theirs, Kaizad "Sudo" Sodabottleopenerwala (Kayoze Irani) due to which he eventually retires.
In the present, Rohan has succeeded in becoming a pop star but is still single. Abhi and Shanaya married each other and Abhi at present is a successful investment banker. They all run into each other when they come to visit their ailing principal. Abhimanyu and Rohan fight and happen to release everything they were holding back for the last ten years. Rohan comes to terms with his anger when he discovers the truth about the triathlon, as to how Abhi saw Ashok Nanda happy when Rohan was losing, and that he intentionally allowed Rohan to win because he didn't want to be too evil like Ashok Nanda and that it was his way of surpassing Ashok in stature. Both of them realize how important friendship is, and reconcile.
