It's a strange story.
Despite being married to a travel agent,
I never stepped foot outside Lucknow.
Scooty!
When I came to Jaipur, my life changed completely.
Here you go.
Don't miss me too much, okay? I'll be back soon.
Don't.
I was leaving all my old habits behind.
It was difficult,
but I knew, I have to do everything alone now.
I was really nervous.
It was my first time.
First times are always scary.
-This is Namrata. -Your fake girlfriend?
This is Sunny.
-Hi. -Hi.
-Hey. Celina told me you're still here. -Don't disturb me.
-Aren't you coming? -Where?
Tech fest?
-That's today? -Yeah.
-That's today. -Shit!
Go and take a shower.
First.
Will you please pack all my stuff? Thank you.
She did say pack everything, so…
Hey! Pack this, too, please.
What? Do I still have soap on me?
I know Cuz.
He's been fighting since he was in diapers.
Just give him some time.
Leave him alone. He always comes around.
Yeah, but come on. It's getting too much.
Simran! Krish!
By the way, what is a technical festival?
You're a tech fest virgin!
Virgin?
-It's okay. Zeenat ma'am, listen to me. -Yeah.
I'll explain everything.
Rules and regulations, what to do and what not to do.
Will you be doing cosplay?
-Cosplay? -It's…
It's like a fancy dress competition, but for teenagers.
You dress up like your favorite superhero or film character.
That's it.
Okay.
Nice. What are you going to dress up as?
Cosplay rule number one.
You can't tell us anything, and we can't tell you.
But…
-But, I… -Zeenat, finger on your lips.
So cosplay means wearing a fake costume.
Like Silly Celi.
-Hi, Z. -Silly Celi! Oh, my God!
Fake costume. Fake confidence.
These are the new methods of Gen Z,
to hide their fear.
-Hi. -Celina 2.0. I like--
Bub! You know what I was thinking?
-Let's drive. -Do what?
Let's drive. We'll get some time together.
-See ya later, Barbie. -Hey, Simran.
-Hey! -Hi!
I thought, since people think we're different,
why not travel differently? Come.
Why is this world like this?
That people have to take different roads to reach the same destination.
And yet, they are always afraid that they might be choosing the wrong path.
-Sir! -Nice!
Listen! Can I come with you?
I mean, we'd get there sooner this way.
And I'd like to buy something on the way.
-Why not, Karim? Come. -Thank you.
We won't treat this trip as a vacation, but as a work-ation. Okay?
-Every night, at least three hours… -Dimple.
-Have you watched The Lion King? -What?
Hakuna Matata for two days.
Okay? It means, no worries.
Hey. I put my things inside. Do you wanna go in and sit?
Yeah. Let's go.
Anyway, to hell with fear and nervousness for today.
Aunty Z and Gen Z, both are ready.
And excited too.
Because… YOLO.
-How was the journey? -Good, sir.
Awesome.
Entry to the fest is at 11:00.
Go and check-in. Get your rooms. Freshen up.
And registration is that side.
-I'll see you. -See you, sir.
I can't believe you didn't say we'll go check out Nandini Nahata.
Dimple.
-Hi. -Hi.
Did you get my message?
-Yes. -You didn't reply.
That was my reply.
Text to the ex?
Bad idea.
I've even changed my ex's name in my phone to "Bad Idea".
-Let's go. -Come.
Welcome to BLTZKRG.
Hello. I'm Nipster.
-Welcome to BLTZKRG. -It's cool, right?
-Yeah. -It's an ultra-realistic 3D display.
We're currently expanding our business in India.
Okay.
If you're looking for animators, our man here is brilliant.
Nice.
You need to pull up your socks.
You need to focus on your goals.
Actually, why don't you email us?
Thank you.
Don't worry, sir, I'm on it.
Cryptocurrency, nanotechnology, cybersecurity. Android development.
Hey, this one has started. It's in room B3. Let's go.
I'm an iPhone guy.
-What would I do with Android development? -Come with me.
Why are you so excited?
Understand what I'm trying to say to you. Eat something.
Eat something. What is this?
What kind of a nonsense diet is it where you can't eat at all?
Please, no…
This is not a toy.
This is a very expensive piece of state-of-the-art equipment.
Understand? Please go from here.
-Bloody lovebirds. -Sorry, sorry.
-Oh, my God! That guy got so hassled. -Yeah.
Okay, listen, I really want to check out the hydroponics stall.
-There? -Yeah.
-How's the therapy going? -Fantastic.
Exactly what Dr. Suri told me.
Look here, Gen Z peeps, this is what they call a showstopper.
And that's how you pull an ace prank, my Shimmers.
No hard feelings, Aunty Z. Just say hi to my followers.
Can I have your number, ma'am?
Can I get a picture ma'am?
What the fuck?
This reminded me of my bachelor days,
when the boys used to hover around this Gen X girl.
I've broken many hearts, too.
I must say, SGI.
Still got it, Zeenat.
Hey!
Are you a celebrity?
We must take a selfie.
Smile.
I lost interest in girls after Damini.
I hope I turn out to be gay.
Love, that's not how it works.
It's just an experimental machine. We are collecting data here.
But we will show you some images.
And the machine will check your brain activity, blood pressure,
and give a percentage on the sexuality scale.
-78% asexual. -Nice.
What… No, this app is still at beta stage so it might not be accurate. Listen!
-It's just an experiment. -It's a useless experiment.
-We need you to fill the questionnaire. -I'm telling you, I'm straight.
-Please. -What about my progeny?
-Hello. -Hi.
-Would you like to check your preference? -No, I would prefer to leave. Goodbye.
Hey, Namrata.
Hey, what's up?
-Very important question. -What happened?
-Have you watched Jaani Dushman? -What?
I didn't know you are a Bollywood fan.
I hate Bollywood.
But love tacky sci-fi.
Bolly Tech Quiz is about to start.
I just need one more person, and we're a team.
You know, I know just the person for this.
But?
-It's great. -I can see
-by the way you have eaten it. -Listen.
I need your help.
-Okay. -Actually, we need your help.
Who's "we"?
Me and Ayesha.
Oh!
What was the name of Harman Baweja and Priyanka Chopra's AI companions
in Love Story 2050?
QT, a robotic female,
and Boo, a robotic teddy bear.
-Amazing! That's the right answer! -Yes!
What is the name of the special device
in Ra.One that gives the video game characters their powers?
H.A.R.T.
Hertz Amplifying Resonance…
Transmitter?
Yes boss! That's the correct answer!
Which was the first Indian film
to be based mostly in space?
-Mission Mangal! -What a joke.
-Antariksham 9000 kmph! -Right answer.
It's okay, it's fine.
Now, for the last question.
In Krrish 3,
what device brought life to dead tissues by the use of solar energy?
It's a pen.
A pen?
You did it, girl!
Oh, my God!
And with that, the winning team
is Ayesha Duggirala, Namrata Bidasaria and Rishi Singh Shekhawat.
Thanks, you guys. I never won in the last four years of BLTZKRG.
Hey, maybe Namrata is your lucky charm.
Hey! Maybe she is.
I have been mulling over an idea for years now.
To do something which will
bring a lot of young and brilliant minds together.
My very own institute.
Nandini Nahata Institute of Technology.
From the top 10 institutes of the country, I'll select 50 students.
Five per institute.
-Not bad odds. -It'll be awesome.
For now, enjoy this amazing fest.
Next up, we've got Siddharth Kumar…
Ma'am? Nandini ma'am?
Ma'am, I'm Dimple Ahuja.
Ma'am, I'm a huge fan! You are my idol. Ma'am!
I have a fan page for you on my Instagram.
Don't bother with her. She's trouble.
Ma'am, just one minute. I…
Go ahead. Make fun of me. You're always looking for a chance.
I don't want to kill your buzz. I just want to give you some honest advice.
I know you will dream day and night about going to this institute.
You'll ask your parents to dip into their savings to pay the tuition.
Don't. Let it go.
It won't work. Apply somewhere else.
It's not the only institute in the world.
Thanks, Anmol.
Just leave her alone, man.
Nobody cares for sound advice.
I learnt a new word from these kids. "Crush."
Siddharth!
Excuse me.
I hope my heart won't get crushed.
Nandini, how's world domination coming along?
Congratulations for NNIT.
Let's keep the formalities aside, and get to the point.
I'm looking for a principal for NNIT.
I'm not looking for a job.
Think of it as an opportunity.
Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity.
These TED Talk lines won't work on me.
The two of us can build
the best tech institute of this country, Siddharth.
Calling something "best" doesn't make it the best.
You have to make it the best, and that takes years.
Do you think these students will drop everything
and join a college with less credibility?
-I'm the credibility. -Yeah.
Standing on stage four times a year and giving speeches is not enough.
If you really care about education, you have to spend time with your students.
And in my experience, you never have time.
I'm building their careers.
Every student will get placement in my companies.
Wow, there it is!
The bottom line is still your business.
You never think of anything but business.
Hi. Sorry.
Can I steal you for a minute? It's urgent.
Regarding that Elon Musk project.
-Thank you. Sorry. -Excuse me.
Elon is important.
Elon Musk! Couldn't you find a believable excuse?
I had to protect you. I won't let you go back on that track.
Anyway, you seem to be on a new track now.
What?
What? You know I have eyes.
-She's my student. -So what? She's older than you.
You know, I have eyes, too.
And she's younger than you.
But she won't be my student from tomorrow.
Come on. Bro!
Let's go.
-Where? -It's a dance off.
Do I look like I'm in a mood to dance?
Are you not in the mood or are you afraid of losing?
This one here is no loser.
-Dimple-No-Damsel, right? -Hey!
I tell everyone about that night of the League of Legends championship.
Good to see you here. Go kick some ass.
-All right then. All right. -Let's go.
-I have never done this. -Hello.
-Hi. -Hello.
-Here it is. -Thank you.
-So, come. Follow me. -Yeah.
I'll understand if you wanna back out.
No. If we back out now, he'll think it's because of him.
Listen, let's back out.
What? Don't back out now.
She'll think it's because of her.
So game face on.
So, I'll guide you. First wear this
-and this. So, go ahead. -Okay.
As they say, whatever the age, love makes us dance to its tunes.
And we dance.
Welcome.
Adding players. Dance off loading.
Scanning movement.
Scanning complete.
Tutorial mode starting.
Let's go.
Good job.
Game mode starting.
Bonus points.
That was swift.
Awesome.
Perfect.
Quickly kiss your partner for bonus points.
Bonus points.
Congratulations! You are the winner.
Better luck next time.
Game over.
That was awesome.
-Yeah. Congratulations. -Congratulations.
Yeah.
Okay, babe, are you sure?
Yeah, just get my shades from the bag.
Fuck!
She can't swim, man!
-Just go! -Hey, listen. Do you have a cap?
-Someone jump in. Should I jump? -Hey, no! I'll jump! I'll jump!
Go, go, go!
Keep your head up!
Simran, you're okay. Don't worry.
If you look closely, you'll see all these kids are drowning.
They want to be saved.
But they remain silent.
They don't know how to ask for help. They just keep drowning.
Here's your phone. Here's your stuff.
Wait, wait! Please. Celina.
Trisha is 700 meters away. She must be somewhere in this fest.
Look, I won't tell on you.
But you, sir, are an A-grade asshole!
Sure. You can judge me because it's easy for you.
Celina, it's easy for you.
Think about me.
We've been together for a year. We've still not had sex.
What do you expect a guy to do? What do I do?
Use your right hand.
Swipe right on Tinder, of course.
Sometimes, even with a life jacket, people drown.
There was a time
when technology meant
sending emails from home and earning 10,000 rupees per month.
Looking at Gen Z's world today,
it's possible that by the time Gen Alpha takes over,
machines will do every kind of job.
Nothing will be impossible.
You're going to show me some biryani stall.
I don't want to see it.
-I have an amazing surprise. -No, our vibes are very different.
I don't think it's an amazing surprise.
-Please come. -This is pointless.
You're wasting my time and I…
What do you think?
Oh, my God.
This is a battery-powered wearable exoskeleton
with a motorized mechanical frame.
Which basically means that any amount of movement
-you can get in your lower back. -Hey, listen.
Stop yapping. Take my credit card and pack two of these.
-Wait. First of all, let me explain how-- -Listen.
Do you need a venture capitalist? Shall I be one? Do you need an investor?
-I'll invest. -Okay, sir. First…
Try it first. Okay?
Okay.
Sir, please don't make it faster.
What are you worried about, bro? Listen.
No, sir, please don't do that.
Come here, let me give you a kiss.
-Sir, please, just slow it down. -Why are you shying away?
-Sir? -Come here.
I was trying to tell you. It's only a stage one prototype.
The next version will be much--
You were like…
And a one, and a two, and a three, and a four,
and a five, and a six, and a seven.
And a eight!
Have you ever been in one of those?
No.
You should sometime. It's really beautiful.
Sucks that you're not staying the night.
I know. Sleepover would've been damn fun.
But I've got early meetings. What to do?
Bye.
Listen.
While testing Geeky-Nerdy Love, I checked our compatibility.
99%.
But, you know, I don't trust technology in these matters.
Shall we test it in real life?
Chill. There is no deadline for this submission.
Take your time and text me. Yeah?
So, back to our work-ation?
Have you watched The Lion King?
Hakuna Matata, Harsh.
Oh, wow!
-Oh, my God! -But you're right.
-There's so much to do. -No!
-I just-- Just one-- -No! No. That's it.
It's gone.
Hey.
We still have time for one more reading. Do you want to try?
What's the harm in trying?
Come. Sit.
Sit.
So this is just an experimental machine and we're only collecting data here.
We'll show you some images and the machine will check your brain activity,
blood pressure and give us a percentage on the sexuality scale.
Yeah?
Are you ready for this?
Yeah. Now.
Could not be determined.
It's still a work-in-progress. So, you know…
Will you at least fill up a questionnaire so that we get a better idea?
While you were chasing Nandini Nahata,
I was trying to get a 500-rupee note out of my wallet
so that I could give it to the guy.
'cause he was blocking us like this and I was like
Were you trying to bribe him?
Yeah, I was trying to, but he didn't even look at me.
I was like, all right.
-This is what they do in India, isn't it? -Hey.
-It was fun, though. -Yeah.
Don't tell Simran and Krish what happened here.
I won't.
Don't lose hope, Anmol.
It's just a matter of few years.
Today I realized
that we're already living in the future we've been waiting for.
One day, machines will be capable of doing everything.
But they will never be human.
They won't be able to feel
anger, sadness, friendship, love.
Did you kiss me to win the competition or…
You also kissed me back, no?
So, you tell me. Did you kiss me to win the competition or…
If you wish, maybe we can try it again some time?
It's nice. Is it one of yours?
A friend of mine sang it. But I helped with the production.
I like it.
My mood is changing.
We would have won if you'd kissed me earlier.
We did kiss earlier.
You kissed me.
