Fizzy! Fizzy!
Why did you have to ask for a pitch?
You compromised our position.
- Compromise? - Yes!
You looked desperate.
You put me in charge of Motibagh.
Still want to meddle from New York?
It's simple.
Our partners must be competent.
- With a name like Couch Potato-- - WorkPotato!
- That changes everything.
What kind of work do you think they'll deliver?
- Dude, what are you doing? - Modelling.
- You are not cut out for modelling. - Exactly!
Modelling is not my thing. So, I don't do it.
Running Motibagh palace is not your thing. So you shouldn't do it.
I had already finalized the deal.
Our lawyers have gone through their contracts ten times. Ten times!
I want to hear their pitch once. Just once!
- You want to hear their pitch? - Yes, I want to hear their pitch.
Fine. Meddle some more. I'll ask them to come tomorrow.
- Okay. - You be there!
- Sure. - On time!
What time?
I'll tell you. Good night!
This Maharaja will be a handful.
International cover boy.
He's dated Lily, Taylor, Deepika--
Ma'am, he's a Swiftie! That's an excellent sign.
He's not just a green flag, he's a green forest.
I don't care!
We came here to close this deal,
and it's shameful that we didn't even know who the actual Maharaja is.
It's embarrassing, Kunal.
He thinks we're amateurs, that's why he has asked us for a pitch.
Soph, that's not what they're thinking. Trust me.
We were under a time crunch, and we slipped up.
Why are you getting so worked up?
What?
Don't overthink about the Maharaja. Do what do you best.
Focus on the pitch.
- Guys... - Niki, no.
Fine. Niki, I want to see the designs once again.
- Keertana, set up an office in my room. - Yes, ma'am.
Kunal, fix up the meeting with Digvijay for tomorrow.
On it.
Let's show this Maharaja, who really rules the world.
Why did you have to call me at this hour?
- Greetings. - Greetings, Hukum.
I wanted to show this to you.
Wow, great handwriting, Pankaj-sa.
Thanks for the compliment, Hukum, but these are bills.
- And what should I do? - Sign, Hukum.
- Right now? - Yes.
Can't we do this in a couple of days?
Or you guys do it, please. I have to wake up early.
I have my friends coming to the airport. I can't make the ladies wait.
And what about this lady waiting over here?
For years, Fizzy, I've been waiting,
for you to return and relieve me of my responsibilities.
Why didn't Dad hand over these bills to Maurice along with the money?
Speaking of which, did you find him?
Do you see him here?
- Give it to me! - Here, Hukum.
From the second page. Here.
- This is the electricity bill? - Yes. After 30--
Electricity bill of 30 lakhs?
Oh, how come? Don't we light oil lamps here everyday?
This is ridiculous. What is this?
Are we bathing in single malt?
We bathe with water only, Hukum. This is the water bill of 10 lakhs.
Are we bathing Morpur's peacocks here? Shut off the fountains!
Gifts? What do you mean, gifts?
The palace gives its guests special gifts, Hukum.
Worth 1.25 crores?
Yes, pashmina shawls, stoles from Banaras,
exotic dry fruits, big bottles of single malt.
It's a tradition, Hukum.
Girdhari-sa, henceforth, our guests shall receive only the gift of memories.
Please.
Are we exporting saffron and almonds?
Everyone in the palace drinks saffron-almond milk.
That's also tradition, Hukum.
Please enjoy it. Please serve only water to our guests from tomorrow.
Hukum, these are the smaller bills--
Who is buying so many diamonds?
Why is everyone looking at me?
I'm the Maharani of Morpur.
I've got my duties, but I also have my own interests.
This is also a tradition.
Are there any affordable traditions in this family?
Why did we get so many paintings from the museum?
Why are you all questioning only my interests?
What about your vintage cars?
And your horses. Huge ones.
Don't you dare touch my horses.
Then sell your vintage cars. They consume too much fuel.
What about your entourage?
It's like you're leading an election rally.
My staff handles the work here which none of you can do.
I apologize, Your Highness, but you'll have to lower your staff.
What's miscellaneous, Jinnie?
I don't buy diamonds like Mom.
I just invest in people who are precious like diamonds.
- Excuse me? - Invest in mutual funds, Jinnie.
Your boyfriends don't even give you any returns.
And, Mom, why do you need eight ladies to wait on you?
You only have one set of limbs to massage.
I might be a widow, but I'm not dead yet!
Girdhari-sa, you have to...
cut down your staff, please.
Reduce the kitchen staff. Cooking is not a big deal anyway.
Hukum, they've worked for us for years.
I'm going to bed. Good night. Please arrange for a car tomorrow.
The cars are gone, Your Highness.
A good Maharaja always leads by example.
So how do I get to the airport then?
- Oh, my God! - What the fuck!
You're an actual effing prince?
Actual effing prince?
- I mean... - Oh, my God--
It's just ceremonial. That's all.
You never said that you have a fucking carriage
with the horses and guards.
- We use carriages all the time. - Oh, my God.
They're more reliable than cars, to be honest, so...
Wow! It's so beautiful.
Thank you.
Oh, wow!
Wait.
You could've at least sent two carriages, Girdhari-sa.
- Hukum-- - The luggage was also loaded on this one.
Baby, what is this?
This is...
- Water. - This is blessed water.
- Blessed water? - Please help yourselves.
Cheers, guys.
Come on.
Soph.
- The pitch meeting got pushed. - Huh?
The pitch meeting got pushed.
Apparently, the Maharaja is busy.
Cheese!
What?
Oh, no!
They are taking my cars.
Perfect timing!
- Where's Pankaj-sa? - Pankaj-sa...
Greetings.
Ms. Shekhar.
Do you ever come down from that high horse?
It's our tradition. You won't get it.
You asked for a pitch and we're ready. Then why wait till tomorrow?
- I'm busy today. - I can see.
You're really busy.
Look, Aviraaj, we have a lot of money to offer.
We don't need funding from a Mumbai-based start-up.
I anyway live off my father's inheritance, right?
Sir ji, why not sell the Rolls Royce too? You'll get a good deal.
- Sir... - Come with me. Come on.
Look, what happened between us was very unfortunate,
but, Aviraaj, I'm very good at what I do.
I turned this Mumbai-based start-up into a unicorn.
Just take the money. Motibagh clearly needs it.
Ms. Shekhar, if you'll excuse me,
I have some actual lovely ladies waiting for me. So, I'll see you later.
Wait, wait... C'mon guys.
- Hey, shall we go in? - Oh, yes!
- Yes. - All right.
This is the Royal Road leading to the Palace.
What is that?
That is the Late Maharaja Yuvanath's chamber.
There's nothing to see there.
Come along, I'll show you the nicer parts of the palace.
Rambha, my paintings.
Without my paintings, my jewelry,
what's left, really?
- Your children, Hukum. - Yeah.
Things are changing at the palace.
The two of you have served the royal family very diligently.
We'll extend any help you need
to find new jobs.
Greetings.
Namaste, Girdhari ji.
Namaste, Sophia ji.
How long have they been working here?
40 years.
Just like me.
I have been here for less than 40 hours, but I still feel bad for them.
You and your staff are a part of this palace.
Girdhari ji, together,
we can change this situation.
For this, I need to learn more about the Morpur family, Girdhari ji.
If you are willing to help me.
Ms. Shekhar!
It's our tradition, Hukum.
- Ms. Shekhar! - Hi!
What a lovely surprise.
- Sophia, please. - Sophia.
- Kunal. - Digvijay.
- You already know him. - Yes.
I call dibs on that one.
- They're definitely fucking. - What?
It's great that we're all here.
That's my Head of Design, Niki.
- That's my EA, Keertana. - Hi.
Hi, Diggy sir. So big... fan. I meant fan.
- Don't mind her. - Hope you're joining us for dinner?
- Yeah, of course. - Yes, of course.
- I'll be back in a second. - Okay.
- Who's the one in that purple dress? - Hey!
- Cheers. - Divyaranjini. His twin sister.
- Diggy sir's. - Hi!
- Thank you for having me. - Hey. So wonderful to see you.
I'm so glad you made it.
Hi. Sameera Kashyap.
- Hi. - She's the Head of Raghanis.
- Hi! - Oh my God, I know her.
- What a surprise! - Hi. How're you?
- Good to see you. - Good. How are you?
- And I know you too. How are you, Kunal? - Hi. I'm good.
- This is my younger brother. - Pleasure.
Nice to meet you. Stunning property. Beautiful.
- Thank you. - Stunning indeed.
Come through. I'll show you around.
- See you around. - How was your flight?
Bar's right there. I insist you have a drink.
- I'll be with you in just a second. - Of course.
- Thank you so much. - All right.
- Kate. Sameera. Sameera. Kate. - Hey.
Nice to meet you.
What is she doing here?
I have no idea.
- Act normal. - I am acting normal, Kunal.
You probably don't remember, ma'am, you met her at the business awards.
She's your competitor. Even her outfit color matches with yours.
- How can that be? - I know, Keertana!
So, what brings you to Morpur?
This. Raghanis are always looking for heritage properties.
And when Aviraaj personally invited me,
there's no way I could've said no.
How could I not invite you?
Raghanis are the royals of the hospitality industry after all.
Isn't it?
Are they both CEOs?
Add their net worth together,
and Morpur's nowhere near.
That's good. Thank you.
Rani-sa, who doesn't know about your brilliant art collection.
So, a little something from us to you.
- Wow. - Wow.
Raja Ravi Verma was my mother's favorite artist as well.
So, it just felt right.
Really sweet of you. Thank you so much.
You're most welcome.
- Congrats, Paddy. - I'm so happy, Bhabhi-sa.
So sweet.
- Incredible. - Thank you.
What a lovely gift. Thank you, Ms. Shekhar.
That was really nice...
Fizzy?
What is this? Portion control?
Are we all dieting?
It's the first course, Maji.
There will be more.
I hope so.
Hi. I'm Divyaranjini.
Everyone calls me Jinnie.
Hi, I'm Niki.
And everyone calls me Niki.
And what do you do, Jinnie?
Darling, we're Royals.
We don't do anything.
We just are!
We are!
Aviraaj, I saw your cover story.
It's pretty cool.
Thank you. Appreciate it.
So, how did you two meet?
Last month, was it? Sri Lanka, yeah.
During the business awards.
Business awards?
- Don't get Avi started on Sri Lanka. - What!
He had a terrible time, didn't you?
- Really? You were in Sri Lanka? - What?
- Horse guy? - Soph was also there last month.
Yeah? Yeah.
She received the Entrepreneur of the Year award for WorkPotato.
Why didn't you tell me?
Really? That's amazing. Congratulations to the two of you.
- Thank you. - Well, it's all her.
Yeah, it's all her.
Stop it.
I received this award two years ago.
- Congratulations, Sophia. - Thank you, Sameera.
If the two of you were in Sri Lanka,
didn't you guys bump into each other?
You know, I was thinking, how exceptional is this.
How often does this happen?
I mean, we have two reigning CEOs with us.
We should have a competition.
- A what? - How about a pitch-off?
- Sorry? - What?
A pitch-off!
I'm game. Let's do it tomorrow?
I know.
- I don't think you understand, Digvijay. - I'm sorry.
No, I don't think you understand how embarrassing this was for me.
- I know. - You said we had a done deal.
We're an experienced company, Digvijay. We came to close the deal.
That turned into a pitch... And now there's another company?
Please ignore my brother. He's crazy.
How can I ignore your brother? He's the Maharaja of Morpur.
- Yeah, but... - Look, Digvijay, with all due respect,
if we don't find a solution by tomorrow,
I'll have to look for other options.
I can't hold off my board any longer.
- I'm on it. - Okay.
Just shut up and follow me.
Okay, go! Go, go.
- Please, guys! - Don't make him mad.
- You guys have lost it. - Come and see our state for yourself.
Yuck!
The two of you are lost in your own worlds.
No responsibilities, no business sense.
Yuck.
Oh, God, Diggy, where have you brought us?
- And what's that stink? - It smells like poop.
Yes! Correct.
Because it's a literal shithole!
- Sorry? - Bats have made this their home for years.
And that generates our annual income.
By selling their droppings to an organic fertilizer company.
Yeah, funny. Poop.
Shit!
Bat shit.
Laugh all you want.
But this is our truth. And Motibagh's.
But since this wall has collapsed, the bats have disappeared.
Now we're running out of time and shit.
You'll are finding this funny?
Sorry.
No bats, no poop. No poop, no fertilizer.
No fertilizer equals no money.
Without money, you won't have these expensive clothes.
Without money, we'll be in deep financial--
Deep shit.
- Just nonsense. - So good.
- Sorry. Sorry. - Okay, Diggy, stop. Stop.
Calm down. We're stopping.
- Yeah, we're stopping. - Tell me.
- Yeah. - All we're left with now is our title.
If we want to save face,
we have to lock a deal with Sophia now.
- And stop this Sameera nonsense! - Okay...
- Okay. - Yeah. I mean, Diggy has a point.
- Oh, yeah, does he? - He does. Yeah.
Can an upstart entrepreneur save us
from this shithole?
Fizzy also has a point.
- What do we do then? Die? - Dude.
- In a corner? Quietly? - Calm down.
- Relax. - I am calm.
Guys, I have an idea.
Since they're already here,
let's listen to their pitches, and then we can just decide.
What else have I been saying?
Yes, but now I'm saying it, right?
This is the uninterrupted, secluded side of the palace.
There are no guards!
You've been clocking that?
I have been. They've been following us everywhere.
Why would you ever wanna leave?
New York's got that Kate energy.
- But, frankly, it just has better coffee. - It does.
- It's just the coffee. - It's just the coffee. Come here.
The power's out!
Why did the lights turn off?
Didn't we pay the electricity bill?
It's just a family ritual.
- Okay. - Yeah, we call it Pratha.
Where are the candles?
- What the-- - Hukum.
I'm sorry, Hukum. Actually...
Rani-sa is asking for you.
What?
Who is Rani-sa?
That's my mom.
I'm gonna...
- Should I come? - No, no!
That's fine. That's fine. Not just yet.
That's strange!
The entire palace is in darkness, and your wing is all lit up?
- Aviraaj. - Oh, new weed babies.
I know! Aren't they lovely?
Aviraaj?
I know about you and that girl.
Which girl? What do you know?
You cannot have an unmarried girl stay in your room.
Ohh, Kate!
But how would you know she's unmarried?
- Hey. - I'm not a child anymore, Mom.
Sure, but you also are Morpur's Maharaja.
Unless you are ready to make your girlfriend, your Maharani.
French Maharani.
Bonjour. Ça va? Je m'appelle Rambha.
Joie de vie. C'est la vie.
Bon appétit. Croissant.
Pas français.
No croissant.
She's American.
- Stars and stripes forever! - Whatever.
Mom, you can relax. She's not my girlfriend.
Then?
It's a situationship.
What's that?
A casual, undefined relationship.
Which has everything else,
apart from drama.
You can't have anything without drama.
Oh, Paddy,
how many things do we need to teach you?
Please do this without me.
My situationship is waiting for me.
"Situationship." Yay!
- Undefined, casual... - Causal relationship.
It's just a pitch, Sophia.
You're a strong girl.
You're a strong girl, Sophia.
If this project gets green-lit, then by the first quarter--
I'm really sorry, Kunal.
And I'm so grateful that I have you in my life.
I feel guilty for constantly taking my frustration out on you.
It's okay, as long as we're together.
- Professionally, I mean. - Of course.
- What did you think? - Same.
- You assumed something else, right? - Not at all.
So far, people have just read about you
or seen your photos.
Through The Royal B&B, our customers will stay with you
and get to experience your history and art closely.
These are great.
Thank you.
Basically, you want us to become royal show pieces.
Absolutely not.
In fact, we want you to become the global face of Indian royalty.
Raghanis. Pioneers of luxury hospitality for the last 90 years,
who've made their mark across the world.
Seven countries, 32 hotels, 21 award-winning restaurants.
Ten Michelin star chefs.
But there's another reason for our credibility.
People associate the same things with our brand that they do with Morpur.
History, tradition, and legacy.
And only a 90-year-old company can earn that.
Fair point.
We'd love for people to come here as guests
and leave as your friends.
Some of our guests will get a chance
to learn gourmet recipes from your royal chef.
And some will get a chance to celebrate festivals with you. Like Holi, Diwali.
While learning to ride horses,
some will forge a friendship with the rare Malani horses of Morpur
that have inward-curving ears.
These numbers, these projections, these are all fantastic.
But this would be possible,
only when you make arrangements to move out.
What?
Sorry, Sameera, I think we're a bit confused.
Yeah, I can see that.
I apologize if I wasn't clear enough.
Listen, let's be honest.
Motibagh is in dire need of a renovation.
And to do it well, you must move out of this property.
There must surely be another way.
Look, I understand your hesitation.
Let me assure you that your palace is in really safe hands.
After all, we're converting this palace into a hotel, right?
So, eventually, you will have to move out.
Fair point.
The Royal B&B is an extremely authentic royal experience,
so, we really need you all to stay here at the palace.
Without the royal family, The Royal B&B is impossible.
This is great.
It would've been impossible without your support, Zubin.
Of course I'll keep you posted.
Bye.
Soph, you're all praises for Zubin.
If you're showering fake compliments, throw one my way as well.
Kunal, I can never praise you enough.
For example, what a brilliant presentation.
Oodles of charm.
The charm was mine, but the presentation was Keertana's.
- Well done, Keertana. - Thank you, ma'am.
Okay. Can you guys stop flirting? It's really weird for me.
We're not flirting.
What are we doing, Kunal?
We're flirting.
Why did we ever break up?
Because we started scheduling meetings more than dates.
Okay, that's a great time for everyone to have a drink.
Right.
Ma'am, speaking of which,
it's Aviraaj sir's farewell party today. Shall we go there?
Kate ma'am has invited all of us.
Guys, they are our most recent business partners.
We should bond with all of them.
- Networking. - Right.
- With "all of them"? - Yes, Soph. With "all of them".
- "All of them?" - We've cracked a very big deal.
Let it just be us today.
Please convince him, Soph.
We should go.
Gastronautics welcomes all participants.
Today, the best chefs of India...
Diggy!
...will compete with each other.
Hey, what are you doing here?
I know your secret.
Secret?
Yeah, you're hiding Dad's single malts here.
Yes. Yes.
Yeah.
But I'm gonna take them for Fizzy's party.
- Party? - Yeah.
Another party?
Why does Fizzy love all this noise so much?
Because, perhaps the outside noise drowns his inner noise.
Diggy, he's leaving tomorrow, right? So...
Your heart must be bursting with joy.
Diggy might as well party.
Fizzy, I know you won't believe it, but it was good to see you, dude.
You wouldn't believe it, but you were right.
Am I ever wrong?
Always.
- And go! - That's a lot of eye contact.
- Jinnie! - Jinnie, we love you!
Back off! I need a champagne.
Yes, get some champagne!
- Excuse me. - We love you!
Get the whole bar!
It used to be my favorite--
What a great party, Jinnie.
Niki,
she's our client. Don't complicate it.
Speaking of complications,
did you tell Kunal?
Tell him what?
As if you don't know.
There's nothing to tell.
- Really? - Really.
Yeah! Get it!
Maharaja ji will leave soon.
Then everything will be okay.
Oh, I've seen that look before.
Just go!
- Hey, guys! - Hi.
Hi.
- How's your night? - Good.
Come dance.
- No. - Come on, it's my last night.
No!
No way!
Don't you know this song?
This was my parents' favorite song.
All right, ladies and gentlemen,
this song is dedicated to our favorite Maharaja,
HH Fizzy!
Your mound of Venus is so strong.
Are you interested in art and paintings?
Art was my minor in college.
You look like an artist.
It says you're a dancer too.
- I am? - Yeah.
I think we kind of jumped to conclusions
about each other last time.
Forgive me, Maharaja ji.
Forgive me, Madam CEO.
Can I ask you something?
The song that played...
you said...
that was your parents' favorite song.
What do you mean "was"?
Can I ask you something?
Shoot.
Why are you going back to New York?
I know this house is a little small for you,
but your fan following here is huge.
I have a huge fan following everywhere.
Really?
And, I mean...
I don't have a reason to stay here.
Unless you can give me one.
I can.
Your people here.
You are their favorite Maharaja.
I mean, can you blame them?
But you know what? I get it.
I love New York.
And I think you've gotten used to living there.
The lifestyle,
the people.
And Morpur is nothing like New York.
But luckily for you, Digvijay loves Morpur and its responsibilities.
So you can leave, hassle-free.
So, it's a win-win, right?
Okay. Is that what you think of me?
That going away from Motibagh is me escaping my responsibilities?
You knew who I was, didn't you?
- From the beginning. - Sorry?
- This was all an act. - An act?
- An act for what? - You tell me.
Aviraaj, I don't even know what you do here,
Your Highness.
What can I gain from you?
You're running away to New York anyway.
Avi, there you are.
Babe, I'm so drunk.
How're we gonna get past airport security?
- What are you doing? - Kiki!
Hey! Good Lord!
Why do you look so sad?
Shots? Shots?
Speech. You need a speech. Come on, speech!
- Speech! Speech! - Speech! Speech!
What a fucking night!
It's finally happening.
Congrats, partner.
Speech! Speech! Speech!
Speech! Speech!
- Speech! Speech! - Come on!
- Speech! Speech! - Speech! Speech!
My dear brother, Aviraaj,
handsome and dashing, is heading back to New York.
I'm very sad, but I'm very happy
he gets to return to his life in New York.
Aren't you happy?
Give us a good farewell speech, Fizzy.
Speech! Speech! Speech! Speech!
- Speech! - Speech!
Who knows when you're gonna come back, so...
bid us goodbye with love, Fizzy.
I will not bid y'all goodbye, Jinnie...
because I'm not going back to New York.
- What? - What?
From now on, your 'favorite Maharaja' will be taking over Morpur's responsibilities.
Oh, my God!
