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.

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.
