Ishq Vishk Rebound

Raghav Pandit, an aspiring screenwriter, is assigned the task of crafting a romantic story for Tips Films. His boss emphasizes the importance of completing the script quickly, warning that failure could threaten his job. Raghav claims that his story draws inspiration from his own life, setting the stage for his emotional journey.

The narrative shifts to Raghav’s hometown, Dehradun, where he shares a close bond with childhood friends Sanya and Sahir. They had been inseparable during school years, fostering a deep friendship that laid the foundation for later relationship dynamics. The story then transitions into their college years, where romantic relationships develop among them.

At college, Sanya and Sahir begin a romantic relationship, while Raghav also starts dating Riya Mathur, a socially conscious student and activist. Although Raghav is with Riya, his emotional focus remains divided, often caught between his friends’ volatile relationship and his own romance. Tensions start to build as these relationships intertwine.

Sanya calls Raghav to inform him she is breaking up with Sahir, as their unresolved differences and familial pressures become insurmountable. Riya grows frustrated with Raghav’s emotional unavailability and ends their relationship. Raghav’s emotional turmoil deepens as he tries to mediate the conflicts around him.

Raghav visits Sanya to reconcile but learns her and Sahir’s relationship has ended. Sanya requests the return of a dog she gifted Sahir, and Raghav steals it from Sahir’s house to return it to her. At this moment, Sanya kisses Raghav, risking their friendship and complicating their feelings further.

Raghav avoids Sanya’s call out of guilt, but Sahir finds out through CCTV that Raghav and Sanya kissed. Sahir warns Raghav not to visit his house, revealing that he knows about the dog theft. Raghav then receives a trip ticket meant for him and Sanya, which rekindles a bond between them during the journey.

During a trip to a remote location, Raghav and Sanya grow closer and share their vulnerabilities, culminating in a spontaneous kiss. A fire breaks out, and Raghav is left alone, terrified he might die, leading him to confess love to Riya via voice message. Sanya then comes back to save him, leading to her proposal and their subsequent romantic relationship.

Back from the trip, Sanya plans a date with Raghav, but Sahir joins them, causing disappointment. During a shopping trip for Sahir’s sister’s wedding, Raghav’s card declines, and Riya pays the bill, revealing her feelings for him. Sanya urges Raghav to confess their relationship to Sahir, creating tension ahead of the wedding ceremony.

At the sangeet ceremony, Sahir confesses he still loves Sanya and attempts to kiss her, but she pushes him away. She then reveals her relationship with Raghav to Sahir, who becomes furious for hiding the truth. Raghav expresses his frustration about the cycle of love and friendship, leading him to withdraw from everyone and move to Mumbai.

In Mumbai, Raghav throws himself into completing his screenplay, which ends with a storyline where he asks Riya for forgiveness and expresses ongoing love. His boss approves, and filming begins. Raghav, still emotionally strained, remains unaware of his friends’ lives for a year, until he receives news of Sahir’s injury.

Raghav returns to Dehradun upon hearing about Sahir’s false accident. He learns Sahir was beaten by his father for not joining the Indian Army, leading to a confrontation where Sahir’s father physically assaults Raghav. Sahir intervenes, stands up to his father, and they reconcile, rekindling their friendship.

Sahara and Raghav visit Sanya, who is emotionally unsettled by their return. She insists she only wants to remain friends, but Raghav confesses his love for her. He decides to leave her to move back to Mumbai and focus on his career, though his feelings remain strong.

During the last day of filming, Raghav learns from Sahir that Sanya is working at her mother’s café and wants to meet him. Sanya appears, revealing she still loves him, and they reunite. She laughs when discovering Raghav’s screenplay ends with his past relationship with Riya, symbolizing acceptance of their story and true love.
