Shanaya Kapoor takes on a dual role in Student of the Year, which appears to give the popular franchise a dark and mysterious twist. While the original Student of the Year, starring Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra, marked their Bollywood debuts and revolved around campus glamour, romance and rivalry, the new series ventures into the world of murder, secrets and suspense.

As she begins investigating, Aditi encounters Aayesha’s inner circle, including her best friend, roommate, boyfriend and a rejected lover. Each character could hold a crucial clue, but the deeper Shanaya’s character digs, the more she realises that there is more to the school than meets the eye.
Aditi's search leads her towards a hidden brooch and a secret competition taking place within the institution.
