Madhav Jha, a rural Bihari boy gets admission in a prestigious Stephens College in Delhi through sports quota. Riya Somani, a rich Delhi businessman’s daughter also gets admission in the same college through sports quota. They both love to play Basketball, and soon they become best friends. Madhav develops love feeling for Riya, which he tries to express her on different occasions. But Riya was too reserved as she takes him only as a friend and nothing much.
Once, when they were alone in Madhav’s hostel room, he tries to make a physical move which she rejects. This made Madhav angry and he gives out a rudimentary comment. Riya takes her leave from his room and decides never to befriend with him again. A year later she gets married to one of her cousin/close family friend. Madhav, with no interest in working with renowned bank, gives up his job offer and returns back to his village. There he helps his mom, who runs a public school in Bihar.
They fight for funds, infrastructure etc from the local MLA but to of no use. Later on they come to know from MLA that Bill Gates is coming to Bihar to fund some schools and if they succeed in impressing him, he would fund their school. Madhav, decides to prepare a speech for Bill Gates in English, so that his school could be save but, he lacks confidence as he cannot speak fluent English. Hence he thinks to join an English speaking class in Patna that could help him prepare his speech.
Madhav accidentally meets Riya once again in Patna. She has been divorced for a while because of domestic violence and harassment from her in-laws and husband. They become good friends and Riya decides to teach him proper English to give a good speech in front of Bill Gates. And then one day she disappears again. Madhav gets a letter from her where she confesses that she has lung cancer and she was about to die. And, that is why she ran away.
