Student of the Year 2

Rohan Sachdev, a middle-class student from Pishorilal Chamandas College, transfers to the prestigious St. Teresa's College to reunite with his childhood crush, Mridula "Mia" Chawla. Initially mocked by the elite students, Rohan quickly gains popularity through his athletic talent and begins dating Mia. He becomes friends with Manav Singh Randhawa, the current holder of the "Student of the Year" title and son of a major school donor, and clashes with Manav’s sister, Shreya.

During a dance competition, Rohan and Mia lose to Manav and Shreya. Rohan later discovers Mia and Manav in an intimate moment and confronts Manav. For striking the trustee’s son, Rohan is expelled and beaten by Manav's group. After a period of discouragement, Rohan returns to Pishorilal and rekindles his friendship with former classmates. Shreya, having grown sympathetic toward Rohan, asks him to partner with her for a dance competition. The two gradually fall in love.

Meanwhile, Mia seeks forgiveness from Rohan for her past actions. Though she initially attempts to rekindle their relationship, Rohan maintains his focus on the tournament. Shreya and Mia support Rohan’s efforts, with Rohan eventually accepting Shreya's love.

Pishorilal advances to the finals against St. Teresa’s. In the climactic match, Rohan leads his team to victory, defeating Manav and securing the "Student of the Year" title. Rohan and Shreya reconcile, while Mia departs on a positive note, happy for his success.
