The terms "reprise" and "unplugged" are absolutely distinct from each other, but have been largely misused in Bollywood music undoubtedly, leading to the meaning of the terms being lost.
Reprise is basically a reproduction or reintroduction of a part of a song or a complete song with different music arrangement, or even lyrics. This arrangement might be wider or more open than the original one.
Unplugged is a more romanticized version of the song, in the sense, that there are absolutely no electric instruments, say electric guitar, bass or even kick drums. This version is much softer than the original one.
The third term that people usually confuse with is "acoustic". This term is usually interchangeable with unplugged, because as you know all the songs that were played in MTV unplugged were basically acoustic. Acoustic is when there is minimum instrumental setup and distortion with no tricks and effects and usually with a simple acoustic guitar (not necessarily).
