Abhay (Imran Khan) and Aaliya (Deepika Padukone) have known each other since they were 4 years old. Their friendship turned into love at the tender age of 15, when Abhay realises Aaliya is the girl for him.
Aaliya’s life is defined by her burning desire to become an actress, and she is unmindful of what or who comes in her way. Abhay, who is still unsure about what he wants to do, finds himself competing with Aaliya’s incessant plans and projects to fulfil her dreams. While their relationship blooms because of their personality differences, the baggage because of these differences also grows silently.
Things come to a head when Aaliya decides to go to Australia to study, and Abhay has to deal with the prospect of a long distance relationship, secretly fearing that he will lose Aaliya forever. He takes a leap of faith, and they decide to take this time off from each other to figure out what they want to do. The choices Abhay and Aaliya make from here on tests their relationship.
Aaliya risks everything and everyone she loves only to realise that there is no joy in achieving one’s dreams if one has no one to share it with. Abhay risks losing every shred of his ego, dignity and self-respect only to realize that there is no bigger high than seeing your dream come to life, brick by brick. They make mistakes, deal with disappointments, even lose each other – and become stronger individually.
Break Ke Baad is not just a coming of age film, but a film about couples growing up - together. In a fickle world where relationships break up on the smallest of differences, Abhay and Aaliya manage to save theirs despite geographical ones.
