Doomed for her upcoming senior year to be a total failure, according to her astrology-obsessed mother, and doomed to a happily-ever-after with her first boyfriend, according to her family curse. Determined to prove the existence of her free will, Madhuri devises an experimental relationship with the one boy she knows she'll never fall for.</span><br style="font-family: open_sans; color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-size: 16.5492px; text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17); font-family: open_sans; font-size: 16.5492px; text-align: center;">Arjun Mehta is also at the mercy of the stars, but he isn't complaining. His astrological reading destines him for success, and he resolves to use his year of good luck to show Madhuri that they should be more than just childhood best friends.
