Plot
There are two groups in a college. The first group consists of Rahul (Nishant Dahiya) and Malvika (Tara Dsouza), who have good looks and great fan following in their college. Vishal (Saqib Saleem) and Preity (Saba Azad) form the second group who are creatively brilliant but are shy in expressing their views at public forums. Vishal is a good writer who pens lyrics for rockstar pal Rahul. Girls are crazy about Rahul, but Rahul seems indifferent towards them. Preity, good at photography, happens to be friends with the hot and happening Malvika.
Malvika's id pops up on Rahul's Facebook profile page and since he is disinterested in adding friends on his account, Vishal takes the initiative. However, unknown to him Malvika's id is being operated by her friend Preity. Vishal chats with Preity thinking it is Malvika and vice-versa. Meanwhile, the college is celebrating its silver jubilee. The theme for the festival is a photographic documentary (idea of Preity) of the romantic history of the college (idea of Vishal). Vishal and Preity are forcibly thrown together for the project. They get attracted to each other, but they still fantasize about their online relationship.
It is Rahul's birthday party where Vishal finds Rahul kissing Malvika, whom Vishal is unaware that its Preity who chats with him instead of Rahul. Preity is also unaware that she chats with Vishal, and not Rahul, however she comes to know later. Vishal fire Rahul how he can cheat with him, as Rahul's online love interest in Malvika, and then Preity tries to explain him, its not Malvika but actually she is the one who has chated with him all days.
It all ends in College silver jubilee festival, where Vishal instead of reading his lines to narrate proposes Preity.
