"In a city where dreams are built and broken every day, two rivals discover that the hardest formulas to solve aren't in their textbooks-they're in each other."
Nagpur, Maharashtra-a pressure cooker where 16-hour study days, rank wars, and sleepless nights are the norm. Here, Krish Yadav, a charming IIT aspirant with a 98%ile in his pocket, believes life's too short to take seriously. Until he meets Krunali Sharma, the ice-cold NEET topper who treats emotions like academic distractions.
Their first encounter is a disaster. She calls him a *"noise pollutant"*. He dubs her *"RoboDoc"*. But when a brutal ranking test forces them to collide, Krish uncovers the cracks in Krunali's armor:
- Why does she eat lunch alone every day?
- What's the story behind the **"AIIMS or Nothing"** tattoo on her wrist?
- And why does she secretly feed stray cats behind the coaching center at midnight?
