Plot
Maahi Puri is a 15-year-old girl who is the only child of a high-class family. Kabir is a 17-year-old from a lower-middle-class family. As they become friends, they are attracted to each other's lives. Their friendship and intimacy grows day by day. On a New Year's Eve camping trip, the young couple have sex and Maahi becomes pregnant. Both sets of parents oppose her going through the pregnancy, and the young couple run away together. Maahi refuses to have an abortion. Kabir and Maahi's friends take them to an abandoned cottage, where they stay to protect their unborn child.

The four worried parents have no choice but to work together and find their children. Kabir's parents overhear his friends talking about where he might be, and go look for them. Meanwhile, Kabir finds a job in a construction site and then gas delivery to earn money to support his family. Maahi keeps the house clean, makes dinner every day, and secretly sells fruit.

When the parents find the two, the young couple tries to flee. Catching up with them, the parents realize they are allies. While all six are traveling together in a bus, Maahi goes into labour. The group takes Maahi to a hospital where she gives birth to a boy.

A lawyer fights the case about teen pregnancy, and Kabir is charged. Having come to agree to the couple's relationship, Maahi's father opposed the lawyer. Kabir is sentenced to 3 months' remand.

Reception
Taran Adarsh of Bollywood Hungama gave the film 2.5 out of 5, writing "Ruslaan underplays his part beautifully. The best part is, it's not one of those conventional roles that show the hero flexing his muscles or beating up 10 people at the same time. He enacts the boy next door part with complete understanding. Sheena is a surprise. Dew-fresh and adorable, the debutante looks perfect for the part. Her confidence and performance, both are wonderful. Rajat Kapoor is excellent. Neena Gupta is natural. Satish Kaushik delivers a winning performance. The viewers will love him. Sushmita Mukherjee Bundela is first-rate. Anupam Kher, in a brief role, is perfect. On the whole, TEREE SANG has a new story tell and that is its biggest USP." Shubhra Gupta of The Indian Express gave the film 2 out of 5, "The central idea has been stolen from Juno, bittersweet indie Hollywood hit about teenage pregnancy and parenthood and responsibility. If only Satish Kaushik had retained more of the honesty of the original, Tere Sang would have been a revolutionary Hindi film." Sukanya Verma of Rediff.com gave the film 1 out of 5, writing "Coming to the kids in this Kidult caper, why do they speak to each other like Koi... Mil Gaya's Hrithik Roshan? Ruslaan and Sheena are neither experienced enough to shoulder the burden of badly written roles nor charismatic enough to project irresistible screen presence. Unlike Kya Kehna, despite its glaring flaws and excessive sentiment, Teree Sang evokes no sympathy nor merit debate or discussion."
