Spoilers ahead
Narayan Shankar is the stern and traditional principal of Gurukul, a prestigious all-boys boarding school that he has led for 25 years. He upholds the values of honour, discipline, and tradition, and strictly forbids any form of romantic relationships, threatening expulsion to those who fall in love.
Raj Aryan Malhotra, a music teacher who believes in the power of love, joins Gurukul. In contrast to Narayan’s rigid worldview, Raj gradually encourages students to embrace emotion and pursue their feelings. His presence begins to challenge the conservative atmosphere of the school.
