Plot
The central idea of 'Nahin Abhi Nahin' was inspired by the 1971 American film 'Summer of '42'. A teenage student, who is curious about sex and romance, misinterprets the affectionate gestures of an attractive lady and falls in love with her. Meanwhile, he meets another girl of his own age group and she starts liking him, but he continues to be obsessed with that older woman. The girl tries to convince him that it is a mismatch. But then, a naughty friend of his, encourages him to express his feelings to that lady. He actually does that. The angry lady scolds him for his cheap thoughts and makes it clear to him that she was kind to him only because he resembled her deceased younger brother. The ashamed and guilty teenager tries to commit suicide but is saved timely. Then the girl proposes to him to be her boyfriend but the boy has now learned his lesson. He refuses her offer by saying, "Our elders are right. Flowers that bloom before their time also die prematurely. I shall eat this fruit but ... 'no, not just yet (nahin abhi nahin)'."
