### Plot and characters
The story follows four friends whose lives diverge after a holiday and reconverge at a wedding. Kabir "Bunny" Thapar ([Ranbir Kapoor](https://www.edgepedia.org/ranbir-kapoor)) is a carefree young man who dreams of roaming the world and does not believe in marriage; he lives with his father (Farooque Shaikh) and stepmother ([Tanvi Azmi](https://www.edgepedia.org/tanvi-azmi)). His best friends are Avi ([Aditya Roy Kapur](https://www.edgepedia.org/aditya-roy-kapur)) and Aditi (Kalki Koechlin). Naina Talwar (Deepika Padukone), a serious medical student who studied in the same school as Bunny, impulsively joins the trio on a trekking trip to Manali to take a break from her studies.[10](https://filminformation.com/reviews/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani-review/) • [11](https://www.timeout.com/movies/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani)
During the trip Naina falls in love with Bunny, but he loves travel more and leaves India to pursue his career as a videographer on a travel show. Eight years after the interval, the friends reunite at Aditi's wedding, where Bunny and Naina must confront their feelings and reassess their priorities.[11](https://www.timeout.com/movies/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani) • [12](https://www.bollywoodhungama.com/movie/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani/) Time Out's review framed the film's central dilemma as one facing educated global Indians: whether to take a dream job abroad in Chicago, Paris, or London and risk alienation from friends, family, and "Mother India".[11](https://www.timeout.com/movies/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani)
The film was shot across Manali, Kashmir, Udaipur, and Paris.[2](https://pure.eur.nl/ws/files/52956536/dissertationfinding_bollywoodapoorva_nanjangudfor_websingle29_march_2022_624384f16e599.pdf) Madhuri Dixit appears as Mohini in the "Ghaghra" song, danced with Ranbir Kapoor, and [Rana Daggubati](https://www.edgepedia.org/rana-daggubati) has a special appearance as Vikram.[10](https://filminformation.com/reviews/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani-review/) • [4](https://www.justwatch.com/in/movie/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani)

## Music
Pritam composed the songs and the background score, and Komal Nahta's trade review called the music such a major asset that Pritam could be called a hero of the film.[10](https://filminformation.com/reviews/yeh-jawaani-hai-deewani-review/) "Balam Pichkari" and "Badtameez Dil" were super-hit songs picturized by [Remo D'Souza](https://www.edgepedia.org/remo-dsouza); "Dilli Wali Girlfriend" was choreographed by [Ganesh Acharya](https://www.edgepedia.org/ganesh-acharya) and "Ghaghra" by [Farah Khan](https://www.edgepedia.org/farah-khan).
