There's a lot to admire about the IIM Ahmedabad campus, not least its elegant, sprawling design; the seamless marriage between the newer concrete buildings and the older blocks. The charming red-brick library, the classroom complexes, the dormitories, and administrative offices that somehow don't feel archaic even after six decades.

Touring the premises last weekend, I gaped in awe at the Vikram Sarabhai Library building, then at the cobblestone plaza, only for amused students to point out that surely I'd seen the campus before, on screen in 2 States (2014). It was at the plaza where Arjun Kapoor's nerdy Krish and Alia Bhatt's cute-as-a-button Ananya hung out between classes. It was in one of these student residential blocks that the Punjabi boy and his Tam-Brahm girlfriend shacked up for the term.
