-Straight? -What? Oh, shit! Left!
-Which left? -The one we just passed.
-Can you stop scrolling for five minutes? -Why are you speeding like crazy?
Are you trying to catch a train or something?
-So this is my fault? -Yeah, totally!
I gave you one job, and you still messed it up.
If you want to keep scrolling on Instagram, go sit in the back.
Pihu, come sit here.
You've taken this route so many times. How do you not remember?
Am I your personal GPS?
Shruti and I cherished the madness we shared.
We held the sky in our hands and reveled in adventure.
Nice one! Just jump.
Good to go.
I love you!
All we wanted was a carefree flight through life.
But our families weren't cool with our freedom.
Your dream to be a musician… gone!
Your freedom… gone!
All your dreams… gone!
We got married.
Responsibilities pushed us from Delhi to Bangalore.
Then came the corporate job, the tie, and a used car on EMI.
I didn't even notice when the keyboard replaced my guitar.
Why does life after marriage Change so drastically?
Even though we've changed…
-Our love remains pure -Our love
-The rush, the madness, all the fun -You and your crazy, still as one
Your obsession with doing it out in the open
is going to get us in trouble one day.
But if we don't wrap ourselves in the blanket of the stars above,
how will we feel the heat, my love?
But soon the world cast shadows On our joy
In two short years Our bed turned into a stadium
-When do we hear the good news? -Exactly!
You've done enough net practice.
-Time to play the actual game. -Exactly!
You've got your whole life ahead of you to "build your careers."
Exactly!
-Your biological clock's ticking! -Exactly!
-You want pure shilajit? You'll get it. -Exactly!
A cot beats a bed any day,
-just stick a pillow under the waist! -Exactly!
It says two full pink lines.
-Right? -These are two full pink lines!
They're not dark enough to be sure.
Please try once again.
Why don't you try? My bladder's empty.
-He's lying. -He's totally lying!
This is from last night.
-Where'd you meet her? -Online.
Does your wife know?
He thinks I don't know.
Extra-tight T-shirts, expensive deodorants,
spending hours in the bathroom.
-Shibhu, it's not funny. -Yeah, I know.
-Did you guys kiss? -Just a peck.
-No tongue. -She's got an MBA.
And I'm a mechanical engineer.
MA in Psychology. I mean, what are we doing, girls?
No tongue, no cheating.
No cheating?
Seriously.
Ma, I'm heading out with Anaya!
Okay, but no going past the gate.
You've got such a perfect life, Kajol.
Perfect? Nonsense!
Perfect holidays, perfect food, perfect relationships!
I swear! It all looks perfect.
They've got the wrong idea
because of what I post on social media.
When life grows dim and loses spark
My posts turn more colorful To light the dark
But real life…
Real life hides somewhere
behind those posts.
Kajol, please try to understand, I'm not arguing with you.
I'm explaining!
And I'm not listening to you. I'm ignoring you!
At least look at me when I am talking to you!
Humans have evolved, for your information!
We listen with our ears now, not our eyes!
How many times do I have to tell you? Don't leave your wet towel on the bed!
Ever since I started having an affair, my married life has actually improved.
I mean, all that nagging and irritation of married life?
It's all gone now.
I met Kajol 19 years ago.
Before her, I'd met plenty of girls…
but none of their hands ever fit into mine.
Our fingers would always get tangled up.
But when I first held Kajol's beautiful hands,
everything just clicked.
Like a long-lost puzzle falling into place.
What happened next?
One day, I finally worked up the courage and took her out on a date to Mamta Momos,
and popped the question.
Yes!
Kajol, look. They're tearing down Mamta Momos!
-What? I can't hear you! -They're tearing down…
What?
What about Mamta Momos?
They're tearing down Mamta Momos, the monument of our love!
Can you see this?
Oh, shit!
Damn it! Does this look like the time to talk?!
Just record it!
When you get used to each other
Every special thing becomes ordinary
Electric bill and kids' vaccine
Flat's EMI, a broken washing machine
We've found so many ways To stay busy every day
That we meet each other Like strangers every day
Even while lying next to each other in bed,
our eyes stay fixed on our screens.
We're scared that if we actually look at each other,
maybe there won't be anything left to say.
We had a lot of fun.
I'm forgetful.
One time, we left the shopping mall…
A family photo at the Taj Mahal
hangs on the living room wall.
Even if it were lost, no one would notice.
Just a square mark would be left behind
No one would miss it, trust me
That's my status in the house, too You see
I'm like that photo
Before marriage, I had a few dreams of my own.
But I set all my dreams aside
To dedicate myself to everyone else's
Everyone's dreams Took their flight eventually
And now, they don't have Any time for little old me
My only regret is that I kept my dreams at bay for so long…
that even they grew cold and turned away.
Now, there's only one question in my heart
Who am I living for?
How do I spend the rest of my life?
For I've always been the caretaker
But I never learned to take care of myself
We don't get a holiday for Holi here in Bangalore.
It's just us covered in colors.
You should've come.
It was so much fun!
So much fun!
By the way, my flight's delayed by an hour.
-Is he the same guy? -Okay.
Anand, right?
-No, it's… -Oh!
The one from Delhi?
-See you at home. -Okay. Bye.
Home? Finally, some action?
Hey! We're serious, okay?
-Very serious. -Serious!
He's the one!
-Not possible. -Are you sure?
He's the one, I'm sure.
-One hundred percent! Sure! -Hundred percent!
Oh, my God!
Hundred percent… sure.
Okay, Chumki.
Actually, I'm not sure.
I'm never sure.
I'm permanently confused. My status is unsure.
This is my first problem…
and it's got no cure.
I was the class topper and my family's biggest hope.
Everyone expected me to become a doctor.
But then I realized it wasn't the human body that intrigued me,
but the mysteries of the mind.
So, I switched to psychology.
But that too was not my cup of tea.
Finally, I dropped everything and did my MBA.
Standing in line, CV in hand. It's a rat race.
It's a crazy maze.
In fact, the only thing I'm sure of is that
I'm confused.
Always confused.
My second problem? I just can't confront anyone.
Bullying in school, ragging in college.
Now my boss harasses me every day.
It's… disgusting!
I feel like giving him a whack! But what can I do?
I'm a coward like that.
Third problem? I'm a little awkward socially.
I have a thousand emotions And no clue how to express them
There's always a raging battle between Thoughts in my head and the words I say
Thank God for emojis!
So I can have a conversation without having to say anything.
I need two drinks to start talking,
but after four drinks, I can't stop throwing up.
So my situation is such that…
What a guy!
We thought he came down to Bangalore for us.
Did you know he has a girl here in Bangalore?
-Not interested. -What's her name?
Why even bother to find out?
He switches girlfriends every three months.
Nonsense.
We're already into the fourth month.
-She's very special, okay? -Yeah.
So what's this "special" girl's name? What's her name?
-Of course, I know. -Have some shame.
I know her name. Are you mad?
-Have some shame. -Wait… Are you crazy?
One second…
-It's something sweet… -Fruity!
Sweetie!
-Oh! -See!
-Sweetie! -Sweetie!
Sweetie's the love of my life right now, guys.
Hotel?
No, I've got arrangements in every city.
Hey, listen, stop on the left.
Stop on the left, yeah.
Look at that guy!
-Okay, see you guys! -Okay!
Bye!
-Bye! -Bye!
-Full-style, bro? -Happy Holi, bro!
-Happy Holi, bro! Check! -Catch this.
Tell me the address, quick! We've been going around in circles forever.
Undress?
No, address! Not "undress", address!
-Just tell us already. -Note it down.
-301… -Speak up.
301…
Bhakti Niwas.
Bhakti Aaa--.
301, Bhakti Niwas.
Sixth Cross.
-Miller's Road. -Miller's Road.
-But… -Bye!
The keys?
-I'm fine. -Look in her bag.
Under the mat?
-Where are the keys? -I found the keys!
Listen.
-She's so cute. -We can't drive.
We can't drive, so call a cab.
Yeah, baby?
How long?
Yeah, the house is empty. No one's here.
Don't wear anything with buttons.
Okay, baby, bye.
Hurry up, okay? I'm in the mood.
Bye.
Hello?
Hello, who's this?
You called, so you tell me.
Where's Chumki?
Give her the phone.
Bro, I'm not her servant.
Who the hell are you?
Listen, I want to speak to my girlfriend.
She's not interested, bro.
Let her be. Let her live her life.
This is not funny.
Why do you even have her phone? Chumki!
"No one can claim another's soul.
True love needs trust to make it whole."
Bye.
Hello!
Hello, wake up!
Wake up already!
Baby…
Meow.
Hello!
Who are you?
Thief!
Please!
Thief…
Help!
Thief! Thief!
Help…
-Thief! -Stop!
Is this your home?
Is this your place?
Seriously, look around.
-Is this your place? -Is it--
Where's my house?
Your body language kind of gave away what you were talking about.
He hinted that he's involved in infertility.
Infertility?
You mean infidelity.
Yeah, infidelity.
It's nothing really. He's just fooling around.
-Fooling… -Probably dealing with boredom, I guess.
And you're justifying it?
I'm not justifying it.
Everyone has their own sense of morality.
I feel really bad for Priya, you know.
Good night, Ma. Good night, Papa.
-Good night. -Good night.
-Love you. -Love you too.
So, do you keep things from me?
I know you also want to fool around.
Look, if you do it, I'll do it too.
What?
But I haven't done anything, right?
You're totally off track here. "If you do it, I'll do it too."
I'm just saying.
I'm so sorry.
-Yeah, yeah, no problem. -I thought this was my…
-My bag. -Oh, yes.
Oh shit!
Not now.
Hurry up and leave, my girlfriend will be here any second.
Parth?
Great, one girlfriend leaves, and the other walks right in.
-No, baby. -Who's next after me?
You cheat!
-Excuse me, there's been a-- -Shut up!
-Baby, she just got here by accident. -Oh wow!
Her clothes were taken off by mistake.
You have shown your true nature.
-What? -Unbelievable.
Don't call me again.
What's your address?
301, Bhakti Awaas.
What?
301, Bhakti--
Bhakti Niwas.
Let's go.
Bhakti Awaas.
Be careful there.
Watch your step.
Helmet, my helmet.
What?!
I can't believe this.
Sis, this isn't funny, okay?
It's not funny.
Kajol, you shut up.
-This is serious. -Oh God!
His mom's already called like three times
and said they'll delay the engagement.
Should I call her, Ma?
Absolutely not.
No need for any explanations.
He should trust you.
Who would trust this story?
Who'd believe the confusion between Bhakti Awaas and Bhakti Niwas?
Chumki, you're the only one who could pull this off.
-This isn't funny! -I have an idea.
Take Anand to Bhakti Awaas.
-It's Bhakti Niwas, Ma. -Whatever.
Take him there, he'll see it with his own eyes
and believe you.
Chumki, you're not doing that.
Anand should trust you.
You two are going to spend your lives together!
Don't mislead her, Kajol.
Ma, I agree, we need to do something.
Take him there. He'll see it himself.
It wouldn't be an issue
-if he were that easy to convince. -What a jerk he is, you know!
Just stop it.
Fine, hold on. Should I talk to him?
Guys, please, stop it.
Don't give him that much importance.
I'll talk to him, explain it nicely, and he'll understand.
Chumki, don't listen to her. Listen, I'm telling you.
No, I think I should talk to him.
I'll sort it out.
No, Chumki, just listen to me.
One sec, you listen to me first.
-Kajol, stay out of this. -I'll handle it.
You don't need to do it. That's what I'm trying to say!
Can I say something, guys?
Let her decide.
-She'll decide, Ma. I'm just telling her. -Let me decide.
-You just have to… -I can't handle two mothers at once.
-She interferes with everything. -Fine, bye-bye.
I'll handle it.
-Bye. -Bye.
-Hey, you! -Watch out.
-What? -You're trying to run me over?
You go back inside.
Baba!
Can't you see the signal?
Just keep quiet and come inside!
-Look at me, you were trying to-- -Baba, come inside.
-No, I wasn't! -Come on.
-Baba! -I'm coming!
Are you coming, or should I come down?
-Go on. -Baba.
-Coming! -Baba!
-Alright, go. -Just come inside!
Why do you do that? Scold me in front of everyone?
Why do you keep doing stuff like that?
If you don't do it, I won't have to scold you.
Here are your meds.
Don't forget to take them.
Anything else?
Just turn off the washing machine.
You don't need to dry the clothes.
And you've got some invites.
Go through them when you can. I'll be late today.
Oh, you forgot your charger.
I forget everything because of you.
So this is my fault too?
Yes, of course.
Who else do I have?
Announces the departure of its flight…
Hello? Who's this?
All passengers are requested to please proceed towards the gate…
Who?
Okay. So, who are you?
Your wife's friend.
And I am?
My friend's husband.
The one who dropped me off at home.
On his bike?
The one who spoke to him over the phone?
-Who? -Anand!
-Okay, so I'm both. -Yes.
Okay.
Good. Nice.
Okay, so what's the plan?
Tonight, my colleagues are having a party.
Alright.
So you and your wife, aka my friend,
will run into me and Anand.
Okay?
It'll clear up his doubts.
He'll obviously see that we didn't…
Yeah, yeah, I got it.
If he's that suspicious, why don't you just leave him?
I didn't ask for relationship advice.
If you can't help me, then…
But who's going to be my wife?
You have someone in mind?
Single, under 25, and beautiful?
Know anyone?
Fine, I'll take care of it.
In the meantime, book me a flight and hotel.
-Business Class, of course. -Done.
I only stay in five-star hotels.
Hey, Shruti…
So we are a couple.
Chumki was with us. We got sloshed.
And my boss's name is Anand, and you hate him.
Yes, yes.
I know all of Chumki's friends,
but I haven't heard of you two before.
Shruti.
She's a colleague. I told you about her.
Yes.
Shruti what?
Shukla.
And you?
Parth Nakul Sahadev.
Wait, you're a Shukla and he's a Sahadev?
Confusing, right?
Yesterday was even more confusing.
-So we got… -Don't drink, don't drink.
-You really shouldn't be drinking anymore. -I'm fine.
-You're not fine. -Yeah, exactly.
The same thing happened yesterday, too, right?
It's so embarrassing.
You didn't tell us what you do.
Well, my target is to win the Green Nobel 2025.
I'm working on the automated absorption and assimilation
of the cosmic vitality for the self-irrigation and sustainability
of the human condition.
Basically, I invented human photosynthesis.
What?
Trees…
Ever seen trees working?
Getting scolded by their boss?
-No. -Why?
Because trees make their own food.
So, what's the basic need for humans?
Food, right?
So, we need to become like trees.
-How? -Very simple process.
Wake up early, face the sun,
and raise one hand.
It acts like an antenna.
Put the other hand down here.
Look down, aim, and pee on your feet.
You've got to nourish yourself with your own water.
That's it. Human photosynthesis.
Produce your own food.
That's the idea.
He's joking.
He's actually a travel blogger.
He has 150,000 followers.
He's got a weird sense of humor,
but he's a good soul.
He's got a big heart.
Yeah, I can't show you what is bigger than my heart.
Come on, Parth.
It's a joke.
Brain, guys. You guys have dirty minds.
This is actually a tradition in our group.
We all share our love stories musically.
Just wait. You'll have fun!
So, listen, here's what happened…
We're a couple, you know.
And Chumki was with us.
My boss's name is also Anand.
Parth really hates him.
So, in his drunken stupor,
he picked up your call and screwed you over.
Both Tinder and Aisle Matched our profile
His bio was unique And radius within a mile
After 52 right swipes This miracle transpired
I was totally worth it, okay?
Muskaan Dua entered my life To change it forever
The first time I saw her smile so wide
And her braces twinkled just like mine
We tried to kiss, but got stuck in a mess
Our braces tangled, leaving us In a state of crazy distress
It was such a shocking sight
That even the dentist was taken by fright.
That was then, and this is now.
We've been together for three years.
But he still hasn't deleted Tinder,
because what if he finds someone better!
Is this just Netflix and chill
Or wedding vows And the morning-after pill?
Tell us, guys, how do we differentiate?
Is this love, or just lust at play?
Is it heart-driven indeed?
Or just a mind's itch?
Tell us, friends, how do we differentiate?
Is this love, or just lust at play?
Nice!
-Your turn, your turn, Chumki! -Yes.
-Sing. -Yeah, come on, sing.
Yeah, yeah, please, I'd love to know this fairytale too,
so I can die in peace.
Sing it.
Was it a coincidence or was it destiny?
First same college
Then the same company
How do I describe us as a couple?
We're like the same phone and charger
Tell them how I proposed.
-Go on, tell them. -Yeah, tell us.
On my pizza, he drew a heart with ketchup
Then with mayonnaise, I made an arrow Pointing through
He wrote, "Sweetheart, I love you forever"
From that day on, I've had no more pizza Just this screensaver
Right from our first day
We became each other's soulmates
Our hearts are sure There's no space for doubt
This is love, true love And we claim it out loud!
Is it heart-driven indeed?
Or just a mind's itch?
Tell us, guys, how do we differentiate?
Is this love, or just lust at play?
I set out to meet one
But someone else crossed my path
My plans took a turn
And so did my heart
-Wow! -Mind blowing!
Drunk, she shamelessly Embraced me with flair
Then softly she whispered Something in my ear
What?
My heart skipped a beat Then it raced like a train
Somehow, in that moment I fell for the game
So do we chase the fun
Or seal our fate with a lifelong run?
Guys, tell us For how do we stay in this dilemma?
Is this love, or just lust at play?
Is it soul-driven indeed?
Or just a body's plea?
Tell us, guys, how do we differentiate?
Is this love, or just lust at play?
Do we pay heed to the heart indeed?
Or listen to the mind's desires?
Tell us, guys, how do we differentiate?
Is this love, or just lust at play?
Lust! Lust, 100%!
I don't know how people manage to remove time on the weekdays.
I don't get it.
-Even I don't get it, bro. -Exactly!
I don't know!
I have all the time in the world, bro.
Hang on a second.
You're trying to imitate me, right?
-No, bro, just exercising. -I know you are.
My cab is here.
-What can I do? It's an old habit. -No…
Have you saved my number?
Yes, of course.
Show me.
Show me?
I'm deleting it. I'm so sorry.
Please don't mind.
-Bye. -Bye.
-Chumki!
Bye.
-Bye. -Bye.
Yeah, bye-bye.
Feeling screwed?
She deleted her number!
-That's embarrassing! -It's crazy.
But…
Let's go.
-No. -Why?
Parth! You're such a rascal.
No! Parth!
MISCHIEVOUS HUSBAND
Hey, Siri.
I'm 15 years old.
How do I figure out if I like girls or boys?
At the age of 15, it is entirely normal to be exploring your sexual identity.
It is a personal journey, and it may take time.
There is no right or wrong…
I've gotta be up at 5:30 a.m. tomorrow.
Pihu's got basketball practice.
Oh, okay.
Let's do it on Saturday?
I'll be late that day.
Oh, got it.
Wanna try Sunday instead?
Sunday.
Sunday…
Maybe we just do it next weekend?
Okay.
What are you looking at?
My hand.
It's starting to look like my dad's.
Same wrinkles on the fingers…
Same crisscross lines on the palm.
Feels like my life's turning into his.
He was an amazing singer, you know.
But he lived such an ordinary life.
Average job, average income.
Why? Because he was raising me.
He had to keep the house running.
And then?
Then what?
Then…
Amazing father.
Unrecognized singer.
A very average life,
and an unremarkable death.
Why are you going in circles?
Just say it.
It's not that easy.
What's not easy?
If I say it, you'll feel bad.
I won't.
Just tell me.
You quit your job.
I feel stuck in a loop.
And I'll have to keep slogging like this forever.
You weren't comfortable…
with Bangalore-Delhi, long distance.
I didn't just quit a job,
I sacrificed my career.
Akash…
you know you close your eyes when you sing?
It's like you drift off to another world.
That's where you belong.
I don't know where that freaking "la-la-land" is.
I know…
and that world will disappear.
If we try to build this new world here.
Wonder whether we will ever get it.
At least try it once.
Or else you will regret it all your life.
I don't know.
Of course, you do.
We both do.
Know what?
That this…
this can wait.
It takes a lifetime
-For a sigh to take effect -Sign here.
Who lives to see everything work out?
Ma'am, just change into this and give me your bag.
A hundred beastly mouths
-Lie within each wave -I'll be back in two minutes.
Look what the speck endures till
It becomes a pearl
The sky and the ground stood still Until the sunrise
I have paused, and you should too Wait till things are alright
When I am with you The distances will vanish
What to say with words? Let's wait until the decision is made
-Monty! -Come for the photo.
Coming.
Is everybody here?
-Are you sure? -Hundred percent, sir.
Look at Rodriguez. He quit the job four years ago.
He wanted to write a novel.
Ended up exhausting his funds.
You should give it a shot, too.
Why don't you take a month off and try it out?
Safety net kills the drive, sir.
I'll take my chances.
Yes, definitely. I can start next week.
Yes, sir. I'm ready to focus on my career this time.
And thank you for taking me back.
Are we surrounded by answers Or are the answers unreachable?
Are we drowning in questions Or are the questions suppressed?
FIND ME A HOUSE FIRST
Why does the light hide in both? Tell me, will you?
Surrounded and pressed Light hides until it's through
-The sky… -Hi.
-And the ground stood still… -Hi.
-Here. -Look at this, how is it?
Here. Speak.
Show us the view.
Nice.
Until the sunrise…
All the signs are there.
Don't you think? It could be.
Darling, what are you doing?
Put it on the table. We should be able to see the screen.
Or are you trying to hide something?
What to say with words? Let's wait until the decision is made
-Shruti, hi! -Hi, how are you?
-Ritu? -I'm fine!
-All ready? -Yes, sir…
Sir, just…
I need…
-Hi. -Shruti, meet Amay.
He's your new cameraman.
-Hi. -Hi.
-Shruti, right? -Shruti.
Amay.
Nice to meet you.
I asked life,
"What's your address?"
Life said, "Take the first right, then go get lost!"
I stood still, and the ground started to move.
What happened?
-Ready? -Sir, this is Akash,
-the guy I told you about. -Akash!
-Heard you quit your job. -Yeah.
Do or die?
I've made some songs I'd love for you to hear.
Alright, send them to me.
WhatsApp them.
-Give him my number. -Yes, sir.
Sir, if I could play them live, that would be great.
I'll listen when I have time, no? With a free mind.
I'll hear them. Just send them over.
Stick with it. Don't quit.
My paths no longer know Of your path lies for sure
My city is yours no more
It's the tenth day, and the students are still going strong with the protest.
But the national examination officer…
Life feels twisted, like lost in thought Even with spring, joy is not brought
We drift apart, step by step each day Until all trust fades away
The sky and the ground stood still
Until the sunrise
Like I have paused, you too Should wait till things are alright
I'll live and die with you as distance Grows and strays
What to say with words? Let's wait until the decision is made
Till things are alright
Hi.
Hey.
Single or married?
You first.
Married and bored.
It's the story of every home and household.
Same here.
Why? Your wife is boring?
Yes, yes. A little.
What about your husband?
He's right now in the same room.
Oh, poor thing.
Don't sympathize, he's a cheating rascal.
Oh, sorry.
WBU? This is your first affair?
Hey, what does "WBU" mean in a text message?
What about you?!
Okay.
Are we having an affair?
No, I'm just here looking for siblings.
You are quite funny.
Not boring, right? Like your wife?
You aren't like her at all.
What do you look like right now?
OUR ROMEO AND JULIET LOVE YOU BOTH
-Done? -Yeah.
Rohan!
Hello, Uncle.
When did you get back?
Day before yesterday.
And you're showing up now, after two whole days?
Well…
Bantu, come back tomorrow. Go on.
Okay, see you tomorrow.
If Aabir were with us,
you'd have come straight from the airport.
Well…
I couldn't avoid this trip.
There are a few things I need to wrap up.
You're staying for a few days?
Yeah, about eight to ten days.
Once I leave this time,
I probably won't be back for a couple of years.
Baba, I'm heading out.
Weren't you going somewhere too?
Rohan will drop you.
No, Baba, I've already booked a cab.
-Uncle, I should get going too. -Alright, go ahead.
-I'll come see you before I leave. -Okay.
Take care.
Jhinuk! Jhinuk! What do you want?
You could've just called and said you changed your mind.
I rushed all the way from London…
just to head back alone?
Rohan, please don't push me.
We can't be together.
Why not?
Jhinuk!
My friend likes you.
Friend?
Which friend?
Just reply to her.
She's waiting.
You'll get me in trouble.
Hello? Sir, hi.
Hey, Bombay Boy. What's going on? Did you become a composer?
Nothing, just making music for ads.
What?
Just to survive.
I get some money out of it.
If you're having money problems, come back.
We have a senior developer job open.
Just thought I should ask our guy before the interviews start.
Oh, okay.
It comes with a 20% hike.
Thank you. Okay.
Think about it and call me.
I have no idea what he's up to.
Look, it just keeps showing "typing."
Just call him already.
If he wanted to talk, he would've called.
Why the ego, Man?
It's not ego.
Some things are just hard to say on a call.
It's easier over text.
That's probably why he's messaging.
Shruti, stop forgetting your lunch!
Oh! Thank you so much.
I will pick you up at 8:00 a.m.
Hello? Hey, bro.
Listen, Parth.
Bro, enough with the suspense.
You've been typing forever.
-Wait, are you with Shruti? -I'm always so forgetful
Yeah. Want me to hand the phone to her?
No. No, I'll talk to you later.
-They're calling me inside. -Okay.
-Bye. -Bye.
Bye.
Lunch exchange.
So, he's the single father?
Yeah.
What?
Nothing.
Say something.
See, my logic is pretty simple.
Everyone deserves to be happy.
Do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Just don't hurt anyone in the process.
I think I really like this guy.
He's got a ton of responsibilities,
but he's still so sorted, not boring at all, and he's really…
Parth!
Sorry.
Modern love is so confusing.
It's like a cheese Chinese Schezwan masala dosa.
It's got stuff from Chennai all the way to China,
but doesn't really belong anywhere.
Please don't laugh.
Don't make me more embarrassed than I already am.
So, where are you originally from, Delhi or Bangalore?
Actually, Pune.
But I work in Delhi.
And my company's headquarter is in Bangalore.
-Oh, got it. -So, I have to go there once a year.
That's when…
You?
You do theater, right?
Homework!
I just do theater to pass the time.
I'm actually currently working on the stabilization
of the follicular cells for the epitherial…
Okay, I get it.
Basically, I'm trying to find a way to permanently remove men's chest hair.
You like a clean chest? What is your thing?
The doors will open on your left.
I'm in HR.
Human Remorse?
Hit and Run?
Hardly Relevant?
Sorry.
You and your beau work together?
Yeah.
Actually, I'm engaged.
We're getting married soon.
Why are you getting married?
I like being with him.
He's like my comfort zone.
In behavioral psychology, that's called the "house slippers syndrome".
-What? -You know house slippers?
They're all worn out,
but we still wear them.
Because they're comfy.
We're used to them.
And we don't toss them out
until they make us slip and fall.
So, why are you here?
Sex--
Explore the unexplored. And you?
To catch-- I'm looking for something.
You wrote that letter, right?
I like you too.
Look, what's this? How'd it become black?
It'll come out.
So this is the lifeline.
-Hi. -Hi.
-Are you busy? -No, go ahead.
I've been messaging you for a while.
Sorry, I missed them.
Are you okay? What is it?
Yeah…
Well, Sameer called.
He's offering me a promotion with a 20% hike.
He wants an answer by tonight.
So what did you say?
Nothing's really working out, Shruti.
I'm making jingles for damn iron rods.
I'm just done.
Here, everything runs on contacts, and I don't have any.
What are you looking at?
No one.
So, what have you decided?
I think I should take the job.
What do you think?
You've already made up your mind. Why ask me?
Shruti, I'm asking because it should be our decision.
No, it's your decision, and it's the right one.
It's practical.
What about you?
Me? I'll stay in Delhi.
I'm getting a promotion too.
You did the right thing by quitting.
You were right when you said you're average.
Like your father.
You know what your problem is?
You don't know what you want from life.
I'll talk to you later.
I have to go.
Is Maya your real name?
Nope. What about you? Are you actually a wing commander?
No.
At least with fake names, we can be real here.
True. I can tell you things I'd never say to my husband.
Hello, my sweetheart!
Hey, Auntie, are you free?
For you, I'm always free.
You know, my friend Anaya…
She's pretty confused.
She can't figure out if she's straight or not.
It's a confusion caused by the internet.
At the young age of 15, you guys have already seen
things we might not have even seen by 25.
Please just tell me, she's really upset.
Tell her not to worry.
One figures it out when the time is right.
But…
how will she know? I mean, how will she officially know?
It's very simple.
One day, she'll kiss a girl,
and if she feels butterflies in her stomach,
then she likes girls.
And if, while kissing a boy,
she feels like she's floating,
then she's straight.
Or maybe both.
But your "friend" will figure it out.
But, Auntie, this is…
What about science?
Baby, kiss test.
It's the oldest science there is.
Pihu, you'll know when the time is right.
Okay? Just chill out.
Okay, bye.
Bye.
Jhinuk!
This is your interview letter.
My university wants to interview you.
Don't do it for me…
do it for yourself.
Take care.
Jhinuk, I love you!
And I know you love me too.
I wouldn't insist if you were truly happy here. Jhinuk!
College reunion?
What's even the point of going? Waste of time.
People are just going to stand around
and boast about their lives.
No, my friends aren't like that.
You don't have to come, I'll go on my own.
On your own?
When was the last time you went anywhere alone?
Have you ever given me the chance?
Don't make this bigger than it is.
You're not going, that's final.
Chumki's getting married in two months.
We've got a lot to take care of.
For centuries. Time and again.
This is what happens, my friend,
when the foolish reign.
When the undeserved bark commands.
The head helplessly bows low.
While a silent, trembling anger starts to glow.
I knew you'd come.
There's something rare between us two.
When hands that hold the sun align to create,
that's when this happens.
You wrote this play?
Be honest.
Come on, madam,
you barely know me.
Take your time, get to know me bit by bit.
I'm like an onion, lots of layers to go through.
Tell me something…
do I have a chance?
Do I have a chance?
No.
-What? -No chance at all.
So there's no point trying to impress you?
Sure?
-Is that final? -Yes.
Alright then, let's just get drunk and enjoy the night.
I can't drink.
I lose control. I turn into a mess.
Nobody drinks to stay in control.
And history will vouch,
I don't take advantage of drunk women, okay?
-Excuse me, sir. Order please. -No? Okay.
-Just one beer and a Coke. -Okay.
Yes.
With Old Monk.
Okay.
I am dying to meet you.
Me too.
Can we meet now?
Sure. Where?
Bombay Coffee House? It's two minutes from my place.
Oh,
if I jump from my balcony, I'll land right in front of it.
Perfect. See you then.
Can't wait!
Hello? Heart attack?
I'm coming. Wait for me outside the ICU.
I'm on my way.
-Yeah. -Tell me.
-What? -What's your run rate?
How many affairs do you have in a year?
Around three to four, even if I don't want them…
-they just happen. -Wow!
-What? -And with all of them…
You sleep with all of them?
You're fun when you're drunk!
-That's what everyone says. -Crazy.
-Come on, spill it. -What? Yeah!
Otherwise, what's the point?
I mean, you must have been in love before, right?
With someone, somewhere?
But how do you even know that's love?
What do you mean?
This feeling…
Your heart's racing,
you can't sleep, you're not hungry…
is that love or just indigestion?
What?!
-You know what I'm saying? -No.
Say I do fall in love,
how do I know she's the one?
Like-- Okay,
how did you know that Anand was the one?
See, you took a pause.
Come over to my house.
Meet my parents, my sister, and her husband…
They are so happy.
They seem so happy in their marriage.
Maybe they're just pretending.
Look, from what I've seen, the one thing marriage is sure
to teach you is acting.
Like a wild wind Like a kite with no strings
Set it free and watch how it swings
-It's mischievous, it's naughty -Hi. Where are you?
I can see you.
-It'll kill me one day. -You have worn a blue shirt, right?
It forgets its promises It forgets old memories
It got excited and lost all its senses
Like a sweet melody
-Like a wet bar of soap -Why can't I see you?
It slips and slides right through my hand
Sorry. My husband is here.
-I had to leave. -Here it goes again
-My heart slips once again -Safety first.
But now that I have seen you, I can't wait to meet you.
In private. Just the two of us.
And my days fade to gray
So Anand didn't stand a chance if he wasn't from Pune!
Yeah, so?
-Love also needs a little bit of planning. -Planning!
-Everything is about planning for you. -Yes!
-First love, then marriage, then kids. -Yes.
See, at the end of the day, the bottom line is reproduction.
What do you say?
-Everything's about sex. -What?!
Dating, waiting, marriage Infatuation, heartbreak blues
Love and all, they are just excuses
Everything's about sex
Nonsense.
Shut up.
That's all this is about
It is a dessert.
-Love is the main course -You're mistaken
-I want… -Indigestion.
-Happy ending -Happy ending
To my love story
I want a happy ending too,
but just the kind you get at a massage parlor.
Stop being so childish, okay?
-I will, on one condition -What?
You leave Anand, and I'll stop being childish, okay?
What do you know about him?
Not much.
He shrugs, always in doubt
"I don't know, maybe, perhaps"
He's always so confused He's got nothing figured out
Will you just shut up?
Doesn't he shrug his shoulders?
He does, so?
He is what you call an "I don't know" guy.
When you'll need him the most,
he'll just shrug and say, "I don't know," and walk away.
He says, "I don't know!"
Are you very smart?
You're not.
You're a commitment-phobic man-child!
You're scared. You're a coward!
That's why…
you play with other people's emotions!
Because you can't even face your own.
A cowardly man-child.
The day you meet the right girl, all your ideas
will leave your system, just like that.
Then we'll meet and we'll talk.
Here it goes again
My heart slips once again
My nights slip away
And my days fade to gray
Kajol, stop it. You're overstretching this.
No, I want to see how far he'll go.
Just see that.
What the--
She wants to meet.
She wants to meet?
At a hotel?
At a hotel.
Online?
Online.
Since when?
I can't believe he got a match!
Not just a match. Matches.
In eight months, I've got seven catches.
How?!
This is wrong
This is so wrong, Monty
You're married
Yet you sneak around fancy-free
I stayed within the limits defined
-I never crossed the line -No.
I've built many castles in the air But I've never entered them
I hid these tunes in my mind But I never play them on the flute
How long are you going To play your flute all alone?
At some point, you'll have to let someone Else have a go, too
Why settle for being a henpecked husband?
The grass is greener on the other side Time to give it a try
We live and die for our wives and kids
The least we deserve is The joy of cheating
Issue such a license or permit
That lets married guys cheat without guilt
My heart does as it wants
It doesn't know how to follow A straight path
It chases its own delusion
Belongs to me, yet ignores my inclusion
Here it slips and falls once more
It doesn't know how to stop anymore
It falls, topples, rises, and soars
It's helpless by nature, wanting more
I'm in the shower.
The door's open.
Please, come on in.
Listen, I'm not dressed.
Can you turn around and close your eyes, please?
Are your eyes closed?
-Yes. Done. -Come.
Hey, what are you doing?
-Keep quiet. -I'm getting nervous.
-No, no, no. -Yes!
You seem pretty excited.
-No, no, no. -Two minutes.
-I can't… -Please keep quiet.
Please don't do it.
Please don't do it… Do it, do it.
-Do… -Naughty.
What are you doing?
Don't you trust me?
There it goes, my pants are off.
What's the fun in keeping them on?
It's fun for me.
-Let's go. -Where are you taking me?
Don't take me to the washroom.
I'm taking you to heaven.
-Heaven? -Just come with me.
-Darling, your voice is so sexy. -I know.
Just show me your face.
-I'm not so adventurous. -Come on.
Let's talk first.
No, I…
I mean…
Let's talk first, then we can…
You see, I've never been naked with anyone other than my wife.
-So, I'm feeling a little nervous. -Let's go.
Hello?
Stop.
Wait.
-My keys! -Yes, sir.
What about this heart?
What about my heart?
If your feelings matter
Then…
-Don't mine too? -I am feeling sleepy. Let's go, Papa.
-What about this heart? -Come.
What about my heart?
What about this heart?
What about my heart?
Sorry, I'm still at work.
I'll call you once I get home. Bye.
Want me to drop you off at home?
No, my friend will pick me up. Sorry. Bye.
Last time I saw you, you were right here
Then I turned around And you were no longer there
Why do you feel so far Even though you're mine?
Tell me why?
-Teach me how to love you -Hold the lift.
Where are you going?
Grandma's house.
Or teach me how to live without you
Papa, your tag…
-Why do you feel so far -Move!
Even though you're mine?
-Tell me why? -Mom! What are you doing?!
What about my heart?
If your heart is a heart, then My heart is also a heart, isn't it?
Hello? Hi!
I'm just stepping out of the washroom. I'll call you in two minutes.
Okay, bye-bye.
Bye.
Akash.
Where were you?
-Actually… -You lied.
-No. -You should've told me…
you were with him.
If I hadn't called,
you'd have spent the night with him.
-Akash! -How long has this been going on?
What are you saying, Akash?
He's Parth, our…
What are you doing?
-Don't act… -Listen.
-Stay out of this! -Akash!
Listen to me.
-Get lost! -Akash.
-I told you to stay out of this! -You wanna fight?
-You-- -Best friend, my foot!
-You're not my friend! You jerk! -Let him go, Akash!
You're sleeping with my wife!
What nonsense!
This is not nonsense.
I've been working hard in Mumbai.
And you two are just playing around here.
She's guilt-tripping me.
Guilt of long distance, sacrifice…
I don't even know if that baby was mine.
What are you trying to say?
Do you even know what you're saying?
-I don't know. -You have gone mad.
-You have gone crazy. -What?
What did you just say?
Look at your state!
Don't freaking touch me!
Stay away!
You're blaming me?
I can't believe it!
First your Dad,
then Bombay, and now the baby.
You're going to blame the baby that wasn't even born?
Let me go.
Once a loser,
always a loser.
You will die a failure.
Why did you leave me? Break me so carelessly?
I've fallen apart
My rotten luck took me away from you
Maybe there's something wrong with me
Why does every pore in me cry?
Why have I lost
Every reason to live and die?
Why have I carved you deep in my heart
I only wanted to make you mine From the start
I need to go to Mumbai.
I need to be with him.
Even after what he did today?
He crossed the line today, Shruti.
I crossed the line too.
We all do at some point.
That doesn't mean
we just give up on each other.
You two have such a toxic kind of love. I just don't get it.
You won't get it.
-What? -You won't understand.
Tell me,
what do you even know about love and relationships?
-I know enough-- -You don't know anything.
And honestly,
I don't expect you to understand either.
I've been knocking forever. Why weren't you opening the door?
My jacket…
-Papa, are you drunk? -Yes, I'm drunk.
So what?
Stop poking your nose into everything!
Last time I saw you You were right here
Then I turned around And you were no longer there
Why can I not have you After having you so close?
Can you please tell me?
Tell me how I should love you true
Or come and teach me how To live without you
Why can I not have you After having you so close?
Can you please tell me?
-I am lost, I am broken -Ma!
Is she upstairs?
I feel like my soul's been silently stolen
I'm upset with myself, just like you
My story's almost through
You are going to leave anyway, too
What about this heart?
What about my heart?
If your heart is a heart, then
My heart is also a heart, is it not?
What about this heart?
What about my heart?
If your heart is a heart, then
My heart is also a heart, is it not?
What about my heart?
If your heart is a heart, then
My heart is also a heart, is it not?
-Bye. -Bye, Mom.
Love you.
-Have a safe trip. -Hi, Papa!
Hi.
-I missed you, Papa. -Missed you too.
-Bye. -Bye.
-Bye! -Go on, go.
-Bye! -Bye!
Bro, he's right there.
Papa, you didn't visit Pune even once in the past three months.
I really missed you.
Papa, you're not trying your best.
If Mumma moves to Pune, I'll have to change schools.
When I come back,
promise me you both will pick me up together. Okay?
You good?
Guddu.
Sir, sir, Akash Arya here.
Not now, afterwards.
-I'm a musician, sir. -Afterwards.
-He said, "Not now." -Sir, I…
Sir, just a minute. I'm not struggling.
-Why are you pushing me? -Leave.
Get lost.
Hey.
I've got some sample invites. Take a look and pick one.
-Baba, what's the rush? We'll do it later. -Here you go.
-Biscuit? -Biscuit?
Where's the biscuit?
Look, your father isn't letting me go alone.
To Kolkata?
Baba, you choose.
Whatever you pick, I'm sure it'll be perfect.
Hey, why don't you come with me?
It's just a small reunion.
We'll stay for a couple of days after that and do some shopping.
Hey--
Hey.
You?
You…
You're drenched.
-I'll get you a towel. -Got drenched.
Monty? What are you doing here?
-Got drenched. -Don't come inside.
-Listen to me. -Please, leave.
-Listen to me. Just listen for a minute. -Why should I? What is it?
-Talk to me in private. Just for a minute. -Fine.
Wait, Baba, where are you going? Finish your tea. Sit, please.
-Here. -Finish your tea.
Why are you giving him a towel? He's leaving.
If not for me,
then forgive me for you.
Look at the pain you're in.
I'm not in pain.
-You're not? -No.
Well, I am.
I think I deserve a second chance.
What?
A second chance.
-A second chance? One minute. -Hey…
Kajol…
What?
After everything you did? You think you deserve a second chance?
You really think you deserve one after all this?
No, no, Kajol, please…
Should I post this on the WhatsApp group?
No, Kajol, don't.
-Chumki, come here. -Come with me.
I want to show you something very interesting.
Wait there. Just stay right there.
Just hear him out.
-Ma, you don't even know what happened. -Listen to him.
At least listen to him once.
-Why won't you listen? -What?
What?
You're dragging this too far.
-Am I? -Yes.
He admitted he was wrong. He said sorry, right?
Give him another chance.
Wow.
That's exactly what he said,
"I deserve a second chance."
And now you're siding with him.
He's not wrong.
In marriage, you have to adjust.
That's just how it is.
Oh, like you did?
By giving Baba a second chance?
You think I don't know about Auntie Sheila?
I was in tenth grade
when you found out about his affair.
And so did I.
For a whole year, every other day,
you'd lock yourself in the bathroom and cry.
And I'd turn up the TV volume so Chumki wouldn't hear you.
You didn't have the courage to leave him.
Or leave the house.
Chumki was just four.
You both were so young, so I…
For the sake of the kids, I…
How long are you going to keep hiding behind that excuse?
At least now admit it that you never had the courage.
You know, I never wanted to turn out like you.
But that's exactly who I've become.
All I think about is family.
I have no goals, no dreams, nothing of my own.
I was supposed to spend my life as a happy housewife.
Why?
Because marriage means adjusting, right?
I've become a doormat just like you,
and I hate myself for it!
You're getting married, right? Well, this is what marriage looks like.
Congratulations.
The fetus is 18 weeks old.
And by this time, they start developing very quickly.
Frankly, you should've made the decision to terminate long ago.
I tried…
just didn't have the courage.
You don't have enough time.
One to two weeks. Maximum.
I would say, discuss it with your family.
Whatever the decision is,
just make very sure it's your choice.
I…
One second.
One second, just a second, Shruti.
Hello?
Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I'm here.
Hello?
No, sir, please don't say that.
Sir, please.
Just please listen to it once more.
It's only a raw mix.
I'll rework it tonight and send you a new version.
Sir, please. Please, sir.
Instruments are not added yet.
It's just a matter of… a few tweaks.
You were saying something?
No, it's nothing.
Kajol,
when a relationship has lasted for years,
things like this… they happen.
I…
I understand your situation.
Really, Baba?
You were on the other side of this situation.
Right?
All these years, you've…
You've hated me all these years.
No, I deserve it, but…
But you never made me feel it.
I made a mistake.
A blunder, actually.
Monty…
Monty!
Wait, please.
Your mother gave me just one chance to make things right.
Despite what I did to her.
She's the only woman I've ever truly loved.
You,
Chumki,
your mother…
you're my whole world. My everything.
For the first time,
I'm asking you for something.
Why don't you go away for a few days?
-You know, to talk this through. -Oh, please.
Try to sort it out.
Falling out of love is normal.
It happens to everyone.
But no one talks about it.
That's why,
in a marriage, you've got to choose to fall in love
with the same person…
over and over again.
That's the only way it lasts.
Please,
just give it a try.
Honestly.
And if it still doesn't work…
I'll get you a lawyer. I'll help you get a divorce.
But, sweetheart, just one last try.
Please.
I'm sorry. I lied to you.
I've done this maybe three, four…
actually, six, no, seven times.
But I never crossed the line.
There was just one time
she kissed me near my lips, not on them.
-Stop the car! -Don't yell!
I only got caught because of you.
-I said, "Stop the car!" -You set a honey trap!
If it wasn't for that, I would have never been caught.
You have the nerve to say that!
Unknowingly, I was getting attracted to you again.
Bullshit! Pervert!
Rotten values, disgusting upbringing.
Oh, and your dad's not a pervert?
How dare you bring up my dad? How dare you!
You stop the car! Stop the car!
It was a mistake, Kajol. Both me and your dad made mistakes.
-You call it a mistake? -Yes.
Seven times? The same mistake, seven times?
Haven't you ever made a mistake?
What mistake? Tell me what I did!
Remember when your friend from London came and you met him?
You're seriously bringing up college right now?
-Something that happened ten years ago? -Yeah. So?
You're just digging that up to justify what you did!
I didn't follow you back then.
Otherwise, you would've been caught too.
-What were you doing for four hours? -Just to justify your mistake.
We had dinner! Just dinner!
Listen, I don't want to listen! Stop the car or I swear…
-Or I will jump! -Stop! No!
Stop the car now!
Ma?
Ma, I'm going.
Ma!
Sanjeev, I want to be alone for a while.
I'm going to the reunion. I'll be back in two days.
As I usually come back.
I'm off, Baba.
There were times you didn't answer my calls for a whole week.
I'm sure you can manage two days without me.
I keep hearing from the kids.
Space.
Maybe that's what I need right now.
Shibani.
-Drive next to her. -Okay.
-Shall I help you, madam? -I don't want it. Get going.
-It must be heavy. -Get lost.
Hey!
-Hey! -Fools!
-Kajol, come on, get in the car. -I am fine.
It's getting dark.
You can be mad at me even while sitting inside.
Ms. Maya?
Is that really you, Ms. Maya?
Oh, my God, I thought so.
You didn't recognize me?
I'm Wing Commander Raina.
Please get in, I'll drop you home. Come on, let me drop you off at home.
I don't talk to strangers, sorry.
Sometimes you can tell strangers the things you can't tell your loved ones.
Remember, you texted me something like that once?
Two strangers on a path unknown,
by the end, we'll surely have a tale to tell.
Please, come.
Please, get in.
Come on.
Kajol?
Ms. Maya?
Tea.
Could I have some water, Mr. Raina?
I'll make it rain for you, just say the word!
Wow, a miracle! I'll get it for you right now.
-Wait here, I'll bring the water. -Bring water.
Hey, Kajol?
Kajol!
Babita, my God!
I'll give it. No, not yet.
After so long. Come. Come here, come here.
My hero, Parimal.
-Look who's here. -How are you?
Who'll listen to my stories now?
Wow! Look who's here!
-Bani! -Bani!
Back in the day…
Come on.
Now, if you could please sing our beloved "Majnu" anthem!
-Oh yes! -Yes, yes!
-Stop it, it's been 40 years. -Please sing.
I don't remember it.
You will have to recite it today.
I don't remember it. Please!
Hey, I'm so sorry.
Are you alright?
Please tell me you're okay.
I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
Our eyes have been talking To each other for eternity
The movement of our eyelashes begins To reveal secrets
Don't ask me about The condition of my heart
Day and night, it just wants to
Love, love, love you. Only you
Come on, Parimal!
I don't know.
We'll sing along.
Yeah!
Come on!
Why love, love, love? Pointless love
Even my secrets
You okay?
Aryan.
I'm Maya.
Maya.
-Maya -Hi.
We'll think about tomorrow when it comes
From afar, why don't we just
Love, love, love. Pointless love
My heart loves, loves, loves only you
Life moves so swiftly
Come sit with me for another cup of tea
Life moves so swiftly
Come sit with me for another cup of tea
I've had a bypass, my sugar's high
I eat, sleep, wake up, and live all alone
My boat's got two holes And is sinking slowly
My "oh wow" turned to "oh no"
My tool's rusted and worn
Shut up.
Now I share my feelings With my old buddies
And each one revealing Tales of grief untold
Life moves so swiftly
Come sit with me for another cup of tea
Bani, how about you?
I stayed at home like A pocket handkerchief, quiet
Every day, I played the roles Of mother and wife
My household became my joy and pride
I lost myself in the routine of life
Though I have everything for sure
I still wish and crave more
But maybe that's not in store
Life moves so swiftly
Come sit with me for another cup of tea
We loved to shop, the four of us
Sudha, my son, his wife, and I Oh, those days were a plus
One day, the four of us split into Two rickshaws
Sudha with Aabir
My daughter-in-law with me To make us all fit
A truck broke the divider Reckless and rash
It slammed the front rickshaw With a thunderous crash
Sudha was killed on the spot
My son, on the way to the hospital
An old man left alone to roam
A young girl widowed far from home
Why did such a thing have to happen
I can't say
We used to make four cups of tea
Now just two each day
This is a new initiative I've started. A theater workshop for kids.
Nice.
I'm getting married.
What?
People change, and so have I.
Just like that?
Just like that.
Love marriage?
Love can happen after marriage, too.
She owns a boutique cafe in Shimla.
She'll manage the boutique. I'll handle the cafe.
So sorted. See.
Now tell me…
You said love is the main course, and the rest is all dessert.
For her, I'd skip dessert altogether.
-For her? -Baby!
You want to…
-Actually, no, wait, wait, wait. -Yeah.
Hi, baby.
I'm staying in a rented apartment in London, uncle.
I plan to buy my own house in two years.
So, you're well settled there.
Yes.
You know, when you, Aabir, and Jhinuk were in college,
I could never tell if Jhinuk loved you or Aabir.
No, Uncle, there was nothing like that between Jhinuk and me.
-I know, I know. -We are just good friends.
I had a girlfriend in college.
She wanted to wait for me, but I didn't stop her.
I let her go.
Just like you're waiting for Jhinuk,
and she can't gather the courage to commit, just like me.
I know I'm the reason.
Am I right?
Uncle,
Aabir--
Uncle, before he left us…
You mean before his death?
Aabir told Jhinuk…
to always take care of you.
That she shouldn't leave you alone.
Aabir's last words are etched into Jhinuk's mind,
and they won't leave.
Then we'll have to get them out, son.
Otherwise, neither Jhinuk, nor you, nor I will be happy.
So keep meeting and talking to her.
You love her, right?
Then have some courage.
Have patience.
I'm already trying. You should keep trying, too.
-Hey, dear. -Hi, Papa.
Where is Mumma?
Darling…
She's in the washroom.
Where are you guys staying, North Goa or South?
Of course, South.
Okay, Papa, I have to go. Bye.
And here we are.
-I had fun. -Thanks.
So, let's meet tomorrow morning?
-Tomorrow? Again? -Yeah.
Thought I'd show you around a bit.
Actually, I'm busy tomorrow, so…
-Okay, I got it, yeah. -Okay.
-Bye. -Bye.
Actually, we can meet for breakfast tomorrow, if you want.
At 09:30 a.m.?
-Bye. -Bye.
Pihu!
Wow, Mom, you look so pretty!
-Really? You really think so? -Yes.
Anyway, are you alright?
Where are you guys staying?
North or South?
North.
-Hi. -Hi.
Where's Papa?
He's gone to the petrol pump. He'll be back soon.
-Listen, are you eating enough-- -Okay, bye.
Thank you, sir.
Hello.
So you didn't tell anyone?
Only my youngest daughter knows.
Why?
I just decided not to.
Running away at this age?
I've thought about running away many times before.
This time, I actually did it.
You're quite something.
He must be worried sick.
His name is Sanjeev.
Let him worry a bit.
I gave him 40 years,
can't he spare me 40 hours?
You may have wrinkles now, but you're still just as mischievous.
You should leave soon, the airport's far from here.
Are you really going to let me go again?
Don't worry, I'm leaving, I promise.
What's the point of stopping you now?
Neither our youth remains, nor that city.
The city looks the same,
but maybe we've changed.
Maybe.
Age is just a number, Parimal.
If you forget to count for a day, I'll forget my flight.
I like the weather in your city
It's so fine
Let me steal an evening
If you don't mind
If you can forget me
Then go on, be free
But to forget you
Might take a lifetime for me
Might take a lifetime
For me
To forget you
Might take a lifetime for me
Might take a lifetime
For me
To forget you
Might take a lifetime for me
Where could Ma possibly go?
But how do I contact her?
Okay, I'm not supposed to tell you this,
but she took my spare phone with her.
So you can just call her there.
I already tried that.
She has blocked me.
Who does that?
Baba, I'm just saying what you told Kajol.
You have to fall in love with the same person again and again.
Give it a try.
Go, find her.
Track her friends, her college…
locate her phone.
Just woo her again, Baba.
Okay.
Or your second option is to just give her space.
What?
I admit it this time The fault was mine
The one who once loved me
Now draws a hard line
Don't be so harsh There's pain you can't see
My heart keeps aching endlessly
If you must betray me
Do it so true
If you must betray me
Do it so true
That no one else
Feels like a betrayal after you
Might take a lifetime
For me
To forget you
Might take a lifetime for me
Bani, you used to forget your lines back then, too.
I miss that so much.
That fluttery feeling right before stepping on stage.
Those jitters…
Can't feel that anymore.
Why not?
You can, if you want to.
Are you doing a play right now?
Yeah, I am. But I can't do it alone.
There's this brilliant part in it for you.
If you do it, I swear it's Oscar-worthy.
-An Oscar? -Wow!
Okay.
So what's the part?
Stop.
Meet your new mom.
Shibani Ghosh Sarkar.
Hi.
Nice.
Where's our room?
Oh, big, nice room.
Hey, what's your name?
Whatever, whose room is this anyway?
-Mine. -You're alone, and there are two of us.
Put my bag here. We'll take this room.
Go on.
I'm feeling so bad. She's such a sweet kid.
Don't say that, please.
Okay, okay.
Pari, aren't you going to join me?
How can you be so cruel?
She was nearly in tears.
That's the point.
I want her to cry, get mad, hate me…
and then leave.
-He didn't even know it was you? -Nope.
Then I stripped him almost naked,
took his clothes,
-and left him in the hotel corridor. -Wow.
What's your story?
Your girlfriend dumped you? Ditched you?
Bang on.
What? Where?
Where did she go? She went up.
What?
She's dead.
That's a new one.
You mean dead to you, right?
No, like dead, dead.
Oh shit, I'm so sorry.
What was her name?
-Ria. -What?
Ria!
Life is shit!
Shit!
All men are dogs!
Dogs!
The world's biggest idiot is…
Monty Sisodia! Sisodia! Sisodia!
Let's get out of here.
Okay.
Gemini, my phone is stolen.
How to find it?
To find your stolen phone,
download the Find My Device app and enter your details.
No, Baba likes green tea in the morning.
If he drinks milk tea, he gets acidity.
My, my, you say it like he's always lived
with you and never with me.
I've always given him strong, milky tea with sugar.
He never complained about acidity.
Throw it away.
-Slow down, please. -Oh yes.
Hey. What was your name?
Doesn't matter.
Tomorrow morning, be up early and start working in the kitchen.
I didn't come here to be a maid.
Can I ask you something?
How long have you two known each other?
About seven years now.
One of his friends was a regular.
Regular?
My regular client.
That's how I met Parimal.
Since then, he's been my only regular client.
Others came once in a while.
But he never missed a single day.
Who else comes to people like us for entertainment at this age?
When his wife passed away…
I did feel bad for him.
But selfishly, I was happy too.
I thought he'd come to meet me daily instead of weekly.
I even hoped he might marry me!
But he made me wait five years.
You know why?
Because of you!
I was going to call you.
Ma, call Baba once.
He is really worried.
Hi! Hi, Ma!
-Hi, how's Goa? -Hi.
Oh, Goa's great.
Why are you wearing rollers?
Sis, your hair looks nice.
Really?
I don't know.
You sorted things out with your husband?
-Well, it's… -Hey, Maya, your helmet.
-Oh, thank you. -Yeah.
I'm coming.
-Maya? -I have been waiting for a long time.
I'll tell you later.
This is… this is Parimal.
Parimal, that's Chumki and that's my eldest, Kajol.
-Hi. -Hello.
Bye.
Listen, we need to leave.
Okay.
Okay, Ma, I have to go.
Chumki, bye. Talk to you later.
-Bye! -Bye!
Bye.
Hey, what are you doing over here by yourself?
I've got my eyes on you.
Stay off the phone.
What a total creep! Such a damn pervert.
I swear, I just want to smack him.
You really should've told people about us.
Have you completely lost it, babe?
If we tell him…
maybe he'll stop touching me all the time?
Come on, everyone knows he has a thing for you.
Correct?
If he finds out we're engaged,
who do you think he's going to take it out on?
Me, that's who.
Just three more months, babe.
I'll get my promotion, and he'll be gone.
Theater's got a fix for everything.
You've got to let that anger out.
Come on, let's get it out of your system.
Alright, throw me the name of a fruit or vegetable. Go on.
-Okra? Carrot? -No, not quite…
-Papaya? -Papaya!
Okay, papaya, very good. Okay.
Alright, now say "papaya" like you're really pissed.
Papaya!
Come on, more rage.
Papaya!
You've got more in you.
Papaya!
Mad at the whole damn world? Let it rip.
Say, "Papaya!"
Papaya!
-Papaya! -Papaya!
That really flipped a switch.
You were right.
Nothing's permanent.
Everyone's just pretending.
I've lost trust in every relationship.
You know, in cognitive psychology, there's a term for this, "HaSaAn".
What does that mean?
It's when you feel happy, sad, and angry all at once.
"Ha-Sa-An."
How do you invent all these words?
The first time we meet again
We'll smile and softly say
What's your name?
The first time you
Knocked on my heart
Called me out fast
Told me stories fresh and true
It cast a spell
Did its magic too
Then broke into a smile
And stole my heart
From now on, I'll give him his meds. Leave.
Why? Why can't you call her "Ma"? Call her, "Ma."
Don't raise your voice at me. Keep your voice down, alright?
Oh, this heart of mine
What's wrong with you?
Never touch a girl without her permission!
Chumki!
-Chumki! Have you completely lost it? -What?
Look, I don't care if you have to resign.
I'm not taking the fallout for what you just did.
You have to apologize.
I already did what I had to.
Maybe it was a bit late, but I did it.
And now that I have,
it's up to you to decide what to do next.
Take care.
Chumki…
Did you love Sudha?
She was really nice.
Very caring. A good mother and a good wife.
I think I loved her.
Living together, love became inevitable.
Same story there. Ditto.
I eventually fell in love with him.
What?
It's just weird, right?
Us, here in this room,
like this… It's so bizarre.
Thank you.
For what?
For going along with this strange little plan of mine.
I'm just doing it for the Oscar.
-Hello. -Sir, I haven't received the cheque.
-What cheque? -I really needed that money.
-I know I'm new, but money is tight… -The cheque is not ready.
Could you please…
Yes. I will call you later.
Perhaps somewhere on this land
New flowers blossom And meet the butterflies
In such a way
A lake descends from lonely mountains
The innocent asks where the abode is
Of yours
It cast a spell
Did its magic too
Please, Jhinuk. I've got a friend at the consulate.
He can get you an emergency visa.
Just say yes, okay?
I'll speak to Uncle.
It said
It is no stranger
Please think about it.
Then broke into a smile
My heart
Oh, this heart of mine
-Oh, this heart of mine -Come on.
Oh, this heart of mine
You will fall down.
Hang on, just a second.
Take it easy, okay?
-You good? -Okay? I'm okay.
-Alright, let's go. -Very good.
Let me go.
Please, stop it.
Kajol, you're going to fall! The water…
My name is Maya.
I'm Maya, okay? And no touching Maya.
-Okay. -No touching Maya.
-Stop it. -Okay, Maya.
-No touching. -You're drunk.
-Listen…
-Yeah? -I've had a couple of drinks, sure.
So?
-So what? -You'll fall.
So what? No, no, no.
I might be high,
-but I am totally in my senses. -Okay.
Okay? Leave me alone. Just leave me completely alone.
Stop it, stop it.
How dare you behave like this with women?
Who's here? Who else is here?
Excuse me, just see this man is…
he is harassing me.
-Hey. -Just stop it.
No…
Stop it.
You should learn to respect women.
Bye-bye.
-I've got a black belt. -Just go.
-What are you going to do now? -Bye.
I am her husband.
Take him. Come on, let's go.
You…
I sent the ticket on WhatsApp.
The wedding procession leaves the day after tomorrow.
The train departs at 5:30.
We've got two full bogies booked from Kalka.
We'll laugh and chat on the way. It's going to be--
Actually, I'm going back to Pune.
You're not coming to my wedding?
Sorry.
Tell me something…
why did you say I didn't stand a chance?
No chance at all.
Because you didn't.
Give me just one reason.
One? I've got four.
Okay.
No steady income.
No fixed job.
No clarity about the future.
-That's it? -No,
-the last one's the biggest. -What's that?
You're a total womanizer.
That is history, bro.
This is the new Parth 2.0.
One woman man, whose sole purpose is…
getting married, settling down, and being stable.
You're starting to sound like me.
Yeah, shit.
That's true.
We've both taken a complete U-turn.
If I ever feel like having an extramarital affair,
-you're the one I'm calling. -Deal.
-Promise. -For sure.
Shake on it.
-Will you even pick up my call? -Shut up.
Come on, let's get drunk and have some fun.
Let's do it.
Whether you sense it or you don't
Whether you accept it or not
I can't survive if you're not near
But that's the truth I hide in fear
How much more love can I give you?
I've already given you all the love I have
How much more love can I give you?
I've already given you all the love I have
Are you sure about this abortion?
Yes.
What does Akash have to say?
He doesn't even know I'm pregnant.
What?
Aren't you going to tell him before aborting?
I'll tell him when the time's right.
Not now.
I breathe because you breathe
I live because you live
I get somewhat scared When you're not around
Even living, I somewhat die
How much more love can I give you?
I've already given you all the love I have
I bow at your shrine
I've already given you all the love I have
Help! Someone help!
Parimal! Parimal! What's happening to you?
-Baba! -Are you okay?
Come on, try to get up. Careful.
Since you came, he's been doing things he's not supposed to.
-Sit down. -You give him alcohol and milk tea.
-Did you feel lightheaded? -He's already had a heart attack.
-Are you feeling better now? -Do you even know that?
I don't know what you want.
Forget what I want, it's pretty clear what you want.
She doesn't want us to be happy.
She just pretends to care.
You were right.
She's cursed.
If she weren't here, the accident wouldn't have happened.
-Are you okay now? -Baba, why don't you say something to her?
Tell her what you told me.
Say she's after this house.
Give her everything.
Your flat, your bank balance, everything.
Do it today!
We'll stay somewhere else.
I want Baba to say it.
You want me to say it?
Alright then.
Call the lawyer. Get the documents ready.
I'll sign.
-I'll transfer everything to you. -Baba.
You should've just told me that's what you wanted.
Now go and let us live in peace.
Go.
Was there no other way to do this?
You're hurting. And you're also hurting her.
Don't do this.
Some relationships don't break on their own.
You have to break them yourself, with force.
You're leaving today?
I'll take my leave now, Baba.
That understanding we once Had between us
Whether you remember or not
That promise to stay true Without complaint
Whether you remember or not
I recall it all in bits and parts
Whether you remember or not
Mornings, afternoons Nights that turn to dawn
We spent every stage of life intertwined
Each moment is etched within my heart
Whether you remember
No grudges or complaints
We met like sun meets morning rain
I have not forgotten a single feeling
Whether you remember
Whether you remember or not
How can you just let anyone into my room? It's not safe.
You have no idea who's coming in and out of here!
-Look, he's still standing there! -Sorry, ma'am.
-Don't you care about women's safety here? -Go, catch him!
I'm calling the police. I'll have this whole place shut down!
Sorry, ma'am.
-Go after him! -I have not forgotten a single feeling
Whether you remember
No grudges or complaints
We met like sun meets morning rain
I have not forgotten a single feeling
Whether you remember
Whether you remember or not
When's Arijit coming back from the US?
When's he going to respond?
When will we record it?
-When will we shoot? -I…
I told you to keep a backup ready.
We can't do much, sir. Everyone wants Arijit.
I need a song, sir.
I need to shoot.
I want the song tomorrow, no matter what.
-Alright. -If he's not available,
find someone else and call them.
I want my song.
-Hello, sir. -Oh, hi.
How's it going?
Still sticking with it.
Why don't you make him sing?
-Try him. -Sir, he's just an arranger.
No, I know he's got a playback singer's voice.
I've heard his stuff. He messaged me on WhatsApp.
Are you sure?
I'm very sure.
Please, try him out.
Yes, sir.
Let's do this. Somu…
All the best.
Shruti Shukla!
Hello, Baba?
Ma…
Your Ma…
Baba, are you crying?
Got married…
Who got married? Baba, hello?
-Again… -Baba, I'm calling Ma.
Just relax. I'll be there by tomorrow.
Hello?
-Hi, Ma! -Hold, hold, hold, Chumki.
Ma, it's quite noisy there.
My college's reunion…
Hang on, I'll introduce you to everyone.
I'll bring sis on the call too.
-Hello, everyone. Chumki. -Hi.
Thank you.
No worries.
Oh, I have to take this.
-Hello, dear. -Hello, auntie.
-Hello! -How are you?
I quit my job.
I'm sorry.
I know
-I should've done it a long time ago. -Hi, Ma.
Hi, Chumki.
Hi, sis.
Chumki…
How are you?
When are you both coming back? I'll be back in a minute.
I'll be back tomorrow.
I'm coming back tomorrow too.
Okay.
Wow, Ma, it's so nice to see you like this.
Right? Even I'm surprised at myself.
I didn't even realize how fast these last four days flew by.
Madness, friends…
And I keep thinking how amazing it would be if life could just go on like this.
But you know,
we spend half our lives stuck in confusion,
not really knowing what we want.
We don't make the right decision at the right time.
And in hoping for something better,
we end up choosing what's safer.
Then we spend the rest of our lives swinging between "I wish" and "what if."
Deep down, your heart always knows what it wants.
It sends you signals, too.
We just forget to listen.
I'll tell you all the stories when we meet.
But it was bizarre.
So much drama, I tell you…
But honestly, that drama brought me
back to myself, the old Bani.
She now understands that instead of regretting
-the chances you never took… -Glasses.
It's better to take the risk and deal with the fallout later.
I had the time of my life!
Really!
Shibani!
Coming!
I'll see you at dinner tomorrow and tell you everything.
Okay, bye, Ma.
-Bye. -Bye, Ma.
-You forgot your glasses. -Oh shit!
-Thank you. -It's okay. No worries.
Goodnight, Maya.
Actually…
Actually, my name isn't Maya.
My name's Kajol.
Okay.
Kajol Ghosh.
Sorry.
One sec, one sec.
This song might sound romantic,
but it's not your typical hero-heroine kind of romantic.
Our protagonist had a baby.
He's singing it for his child.
So picture that it's your baby and sing from that place.
I don't have a baby.
But you've got an imagination, right?
Look
How your arrival changed my life
A closed room lit up
And a window opened wide
Look
How your arrival changed my life
A closed room lit up
And a window opened wide
Your tiny hands gripping my finger tight
Since I saw you, the world feels right
You waking softly in the night
You speaking to me without a word in sight
You sleeping as the morning breaks
Your breath is all my being needs
My shoulder is now your resting place
Your babbling sounds like music to me
Papa.
Cut.
I am sorry. Cut.
Is he alright?
There's a lot we never said to each other, right?
I felt there was something real between us.
We connected. Right?
Everything remained incomplete--
-Chumki… -My bag, please.
-Chumki… -I'm leaving. Lock the door when you go.
-I'm going to kill you! -Sanjeev!
Rickshaw!
Let him go! Let him go!
What are you doing?
What friend? What did you do?
Your husband just hit me!
-Please! -Sanjeev!
Rickshaw!
Stop. Stop.
Airport.
I can't!
Sorry.
What's going on?
Why do I still love him so much?
Who are you talking about?
Careful.
Ambala.
Shimla.
Kajol!
Hello! Wait! Stop!
Hello!
Say something!
I don't know if I like boys or girls.
When will you know?
I don't know.
Okay. I'll wait till you figure it out.
Chumki!
Hi.
I knew you'd show up.
Did you come straight from bed?
Where's your luggage?
Get off at the next station and come here.
Parth, I need to talk to you.
Yeah, what's up?
I really like…
your company.
I really like your company.
Me too. Ditto.
I know we haven't spent much time together,
but it feels very real.
It feels different with you. I…
I like myself more when I'm with you.
I… Okay.
And honestly, I'm very jealous
because you're getting married to someone else.
What?
I'm very jealous because you're getting married to someone else.
You haven't come here to "I love you", right?
Hi.
You didn't sleep?
Yeah, no.
You're done with the recording?
How did it go?
It was fine.
Hey, I can't connect to the Wi-Fi on my laptop.
Restart both the laptop and the router.
I'll hold.
Give me a minute.
It's turning on.
Alright, done.
Now go to settings and hit "Forget Network."
Then try connecting again.
Forget network…
Connect…
It's working.
Even without the laptop?
Parth!
I love…
I love you!
What! What's the guarantee you won't fall for a third girl tomorrow?
No, I guarantee that.
She's it, full and final.
This isn't a joke, son.
You're breaking off one engagement to marry her.
-What if tomorrow you want to marry-- -I'm not marrying him.
What?
-You're not marrying him? -What?
Then?
I'm not marrying you.
You don't want to marry me,
but you also don't want me to marry someone else?
Yes.
-Yes? -Yes.
What does that even mean? What?
It means I love you.
Maybe I'm not ready right now.
But someday in the future… maybe?
Maybe?
My grandfather came all the way from Madagascar.
He's 82. He might not be here "someday".
Auntie Neetu changed three flights to be here.
And I've already booked the honeymoon in Bali.
It's a nonrefundable thing, man.
Sorry.
Forget I was here. I'm so sorry.
Okay? Cancel.
I'm sorry.
Forget it.
Control. Alt. Delete. Sorry.
Dear…
-I'm fine. -Dear!
You shouldn't have had the abortion.
No…
I'm sorry.
I'm selfish. I'm very selfish.
Forgive me.
I am sorry.
Akash.
I…
I am always late.
I just want you.
I don't want anything else.
I just want you.
It's too freaking late!
You shouldn't have had the abortion.
-I freaking know it's too late now! -No, it's not too late.
No.
So, now?
Now?
Let's just get fake married.
Otherwise, they'll disown me.
Then promise me something first.
What?
From this moment on,
no one else gets to see you naked.
Done.
But for that to work, you'll have to see me naked first.
-Your mom? -Yes, Mom.
-Hi. -Hey.
-The one you lost -What's up?
Yesterday
How are you, buddy?
Still angry with me?
Hi.
The one who was upset smiled
Hi.
-Hi, baby. -Hi, Mumma.
Papa's not here?
No, he's not. He'll join us later.
Come, sit.
How can we ever part?
We are, after all, one
Love is like salt and sugar Both add flavor, but in their own way
This distance has been erased on its own
It's a wonderful journey
The wheel of life keeps moving
Instead of halting It's better to keep moving
It's a wonderful journey
We're out of chicken, please refill this.
Is it going to go on like this?
No response?
What do you want? A divorce?
How else can I tell you that I am sorry?
How many more times should I say sorry?
Can't we start again from the beginning?
You don't want to know what happened in that room in Goa?
No, I don't. I don't want to know anything.
All I know is that I was about to lose you.
Forget Goa, I don't care about anything that happened before this very second.
Stay angry, stay as mad as you want,
but please let me keep trying to win you over.
All this…
yoga, meditation, mindfulness, none of it works
Look, like a joker
I followed you around for so many days.
And I want to keep following you around.
For the rest of my life.
I want to charm you again.
Again, and again.
Forever.
Only with you, every time.
Your love for doing it in the open air will get us caught one day.
Bye…
See you.
Bye.
Which way do I turn?
Yeah, I'm just checking--
-Shit, it was that right we just passed. -Which one?
Oh no, one minute
If you hold your phone like that, then this is bound to happen…
How is it my fault if the map keeps changing the route?
Now I have to take the long U-turn.
-No… -Besides, this still hasn't been fixed.
We were supposed to fix this.
We'll fix it.
After losing you And then finding you again
I've developed a habit of it
Feels like now
True love is mine to claim…
How did this happen?
How will I know? You tell me.
But these aren't "two full dark pink lines," right?
Yes, they are!
The voice I heard
Feels like now
True love is mine to claim
Shruti, listen carefully. I'm playing two temp tracks.
First, stop this guy's singing!
The producer is coming in half an hour.
I have to present them soon, so please listen.
I can't hear anything right now! Can't you see he's crying?
Please, sweetheart.
Stop! I have a child with me!
Look, I can't talk right now. I have too much to do.
-I have to go. -You know…
-Everything is falling apart. Bye! -I don't present without you, Shruti.
Listen.
My hands were shaking, my heart was racing.
I was really nervous.
I aimed for the heart,
but I guess I shot too low!
Too good!
You're all mine
You are my responsibility
There are plenty of grievances, too
In my obstinacy to defeat you My life was lost to you
If I ever made you cry
I was also bereft of solace
My heart is yours, after all
It's all yours
What do I tell you?
The amount of solace I gained
After getting this pain
Feels like now
True love is mine to claim ed
