EDITOR'S PICK
The story of the film is set in St. Marks School, Delhi. It
introduces to a set of friends. The last year in school, a year about first
kisses and crushes. Of being so safe and yet so insecure. A year filled with
living it up and living up to expectations.
Tariq Naqvi, the Bill Gates of St Marks – The geek who had the cheek to be
cool but carried the burden of having to excel at everything.
Aishwarya Dhawan, she was breath taking, if a beautiful face can launch a 1000
ships, Aish could launch a million. A mother, who wanted her to be a film star
no less than Aishwarya Rai!! Nandini she was to put it mildly the bitch. I
don’t think she had a single friend in the 12 years she spent at St. Marks.
Except Toy boy her 25-year-old boyfriend, who perhaps was too dumb to understand
the full impact of her acid tongue. All he was interested in perhaps was getting
his tongue around and then there was Sameer aka Sam. He was Mr. Shortcut always
figuring out a way to do something faster and quicker. Tariq used to say that
Sam is the kind of guy, who would find a short-cut for a shortcut. Sam did not
wan to spend his life counting monthly installments like his accountant Dad.
The year at St Marks began with a lot of excitement, Principal Khan and Ms Das
had decided that the school was going to participate in the interschool
Shakespearewallah contest and present Romeo & Juliet! The story then unfolds
a series of dramatic incidents that take place in each of these characters’
lives and how they find the answers to each question on a youthful journey
together.
