She wins the elections. Whatever the final outcome might be Gippi makes sure she has a great time in the journey, filling it with delicious desserts, funny teachers, school crushes, and Shammi Kapoor dances. `Gippi` is a coming-of-age story of an ordinary, overweight girl, who through the course of the film learns to love herself for exactly who she is.
