[Harsh] In sixth grade,
Miss Brown said every question can be resolved with a pros and cons list.
So here goes.
Cons. Um, Dimple could laugh in my face.
Pros. Happiness forever.
-Dimple? -Hmm?
[Harsh] Bless me, Miss Brown.
-There's something I need to ask you. -Yeah?
I was thinking, and correct me if I'm wrong--
[woman 1] You just can't barge in--
The warden is here. Please hide. For two minutes. She'll make a scene.
[woman 2] No rules between a parent and a daughter.
I'm going to meet my daughter. I'll be back in two minutes.
-Surprise! [laughing] -Hi!
Hi! What are you doing here?
I'm sorry. Actually, my wife tends to get excited.
We are meeting our child after so long. Really sorry.
-Yes, but-- Sir! -Yes.
-Surprise, my child! Surprise! -[chuckles] Hey, Dimple!
-Hi, Papa. -Hi.
-How are you, my dear? -Good. How are you here?
-It's Mr. Gill's brother's wedding. -Oh.
Hi. I'm Harsh. Uh, Dimple's partner.
We're project partners. We're making an app together.
Assignment's been given, so Sid sir has--
Yeah, I think she got it.
-American? -One second.
-Yup. -You--
Were you not with--
[Simple] One minute, please. Just one second.
You were talking about rules? Under your nose,
there's a boy in a girl's hostel! Go and resign. Just go. Go away!
Step aside.
Come here, son. Sit down.
Sit, sit, sit. Sit down.
My sister-in-law's daughter,
she also got married to person in America.
She sends me Givenchy eyeliners every year without fail.
Harsh, you had to go, right? You go ahead, I'll catch up.
No, no, uh, tell us what are your plans, son.
I mean, graduation, then a degree, then a job,
then settling down, a wife, children--
Actually, I applied to music school and I got in.
-[Dheeraj] Really? -Yeah.
Can I be frank with you?
This musician's line, you see, it's as solid as these lines we read.
-It won't take you anywhere. Drop it-- -Harsh, you had to go, right?
Go ahead. I'll see you in a bit.
-[whispers] He's a good boy. -Hang on.
I'm sorry. I actually got to go. Um, it was nice meeting you.
Hope you have a pleasant stay, and I'll think about what you said.
-Thank you so much. -Bye.
-Bye-bye. -Bye.
Here. You should also attend the wedding.
You're here for Rishi's mom's wedding.
No, I told you.
It's Mr. Gill's younger brother's wedding. The groom is a wildlife photographer.
And the bride is Rishi's mummy.
-Your Rishi? -What do you mean, my Rishi, Mummy?
His mother has had a divorce already? Nobody bothered to tell us.
And we were marrying off our daughter into such a family.
-Don't judge, Simple. -Every family has its own problems, Mummy.
Forget it. Look. I've got two lehengas. Which one will you wear?
I'm not going. I have a lot of work to do for my app.
Y'all go ahead.
Oh, your poor papa.
Just here for a day in Jaipur.
He was so excited about spending the whole day with his daughter.
-Hmm? -Papa.
Imagine all the fun you'll have there. Rishi's there.
[Harsh] To go or not to go, that is the question.
-[phone chimes] -Pros of Berklee.
You get to make music, learn from the best, eat rib-eye steak.
I mean, it's freaking Berklee.
Cons of Berklee.
Dimple won't be there.
[cell phone chimes]
I need to tell her.
Gross, Harsh, who are you?
You're now the guy who's gonna tell a girl he loves her?
At a fucking wedding?
What is this, the Hallmark Channel? My God.
[theme music playing]
I don't wanna do this, please.
[clicks tongue] The wedding's today. I need a good bite from you, Shekhu.
-Don't you want to make your mom happy? -[chuckles]
Okay.
[chuckles softly]
A legendary Bollywood film taught me a life philosophy long ago.
That we live once, die once,
get married only once and fall in love also just once.
[chuckles] Rubbish.
This is a film-like fantasy notion, and "one true love" is a myth.
[chuckles]
Ma, you had also taught me a life philosophy.
And what it says is,
it's not important that every love will be successful.
That's fine. We have to move on.
So here's to you, Ma.
Congratulations.
And…
I love you.
Yeah, that was great. Really nice. I'll just take this out.
Yeah.
Mm.
Oh, fuck. Oh, no! Please don't die on me, man.
Um, can you get your laptop tonight, please?
Just as a backup?
Okay, my queen. Anything else for you?
Yeah, maybe quite a few, milord. But only after your consent.
-[both chuckle] -Um, may I?
-What are you doing? -I know what goes on in your house, okay?
Move!
[indistinct chatter]
We are together.
Sorry for the hijacking.
And… [sighs]
I'm just really sorry for everything else.
That day, there was like this…
this volcano going on inside me.
It just erupted and I couldn't stop it.
My intention was to never hurt you.
And it will… it will never be my intention.
In fact, if anyone hurts you, I'll hurt him, or her, or even… me.
[chuckles]
Thank you for saying that, Celina. Really.
But there's no point now.
It's a bit late.
Please stop this rickshaw, yeah?
Thank you.
[brakes squeak]
I have a request.
Will you not you tell anyone about my delivery job secret, please?
[sighs]
The idea is good.
You were the one to make my secret public.
Now I'll reveal your secret to everyone.
Then we'll be even, right?
I'm joking. I'm not gonna do that.
Thanks.
Celina?
-Hmm? -If I don't, someone else will.
How long will you hide it?
I mean, you're delivery girl. You bring people their food.
So what?
Own your secret and don't let your secret own you.
Trust me.
-Bye. -Bye.
Brother, you're back?
Ashish.
Mom did leave Dad, but she didn't abandon us.
On every important day, through thick and thin, she was with us.
I know you're better than this.
Very dishy in a sherwani, Mr. Agarwal.
-Naughty. -[chuckles]
-Cel, looks like this'll be a problem. -I am your problem solver.
Girl, come sit.
-My middle name is Hickeypedia. -Beautiful.
[cell phone chimes]
Man, this younger Shekhawat is now calling me for the wedding.
That's perfect. You should come along.
All this wedding business is shady business.
Celina, don't do this. Imagine. Rishi, Rishi's parents, my parents, Harsh.
Everyone in one place.
-Bro, it's a lot of stress. -[laughs]
Even exams don't get me so stressed.
Dimple's swayamvara.
Full on drama. I'm in.
Listen, tell me one thing.
All just decking up you're doing for Rishi?
Are you mad? The lehenga Mummy has given. The hickey Harsh has given.
You're hiding the hickey Harsh has given and asking about Rishi.
There's no rule that says because you start liking someone new,
you can't have feelings for your ex.
It's not an on and off switch, yo.
Done.
Thank you.
By the way, you can hide your hickeys,
but not your feelings.
Look, I really want you to come. But Namrata's gonna be there too.
It's cool.
-[camera clicks] -[Harsh] Pro or con.
Pro. Look, feel, vibes, everything will be fuckin' A.
As soon as I find a special moment, I'll tell her how I feel.
Con.
I hope no one becomes a buzzkill between us.
-Hi. -Hey, hi.
You were absolutely right. You should not judge anyone in haste.
-All families have problem, isn't it? -Hmm.
Oh.
Stalker alert.
Like this.
-I invited them. -Oh.
-Hi. -Hi.
Meet my parents.
You're Rishi, right?
Hello, aunty. Hello, uncle.
-It's okay. -Thank you so much for coming.
I'm so glad Dimple brought you both to the wedding.
Actually, Dimple has come with us. Randeep's elder brother is my boss.
That's great. That means you're guests of both bride and groom.
-You must have dinner twice tonight. -How sweet.
-Sorry, I'll just be back. -Yeah, sure.
Thanks for coming. Hi, uncle.
See, this is what you call marriage material.
But they disappear from the matchmaking market quickly.
-[Dheeraj] Shh! Keep it down. -Hmm.
-Who's that girl now? Tell me! Who is she? -Friend of his, Ma.
[Harsh] India has such amazing music.
I'll learn here. I'll play music here.
Maybe even get a gig at Coke Studio. Composing, remixing things for Bollywood.
Why do I need Berklee? I can just--
-Thank God, you're here. -Oh, hey.
Very dishy in the Indian outfit, Miss Ahuja.
Hey, no sign of the, uh…
Celina's expertise.
-Ah. -You're looking quite handsome.
-Properly fitting in. -Thank you.
Maybe I should stay here a while longer.
Stay back a while longer?
Have you lost your senses completely?
You're going to Berklee to study music. Your house is in Silicon Valley.
-You can't make snap decisions… -[Harsh] You know what?
Forget waiting for a special moment. I'll tell her right now…
…sensible reason why you should stay back.
…and I'll make this very moment special.
-[fireworks bursting] -[dhol music playing]
[cheering]
-Rishi, am I looking okay? -[clicks tongue]
[chuckles] Isn't all this a bit much?
Is it appropriate at this age?
Ma, you're perfect.
Just make the most of this moment. I'm doing that.
And anyway, how many sons in the world
have the privilege to really walk their mom down the aisle?
And where is my other son?
[priest chanting in Sanskrit]
[camera clicking]
[Harsh] Pro. This.
When you're in love, the whole world celebrates.
Con.
-This. When you're heartbroken… -Uh, one double shot espresso.
-…you're all alone. -Sorry. What did you say?
Black coffee.
Oh, so black coffee is also called expresso.
You have added to my knowledge bank.
I will get you the most excellent black coffee.
Have a seat. Yes, and give me a minute.
[Harsh] My motto was "Never say forever."
But fuck that. Fuck being a fuck-boy.
I'll be a forever boy and I'll never mess it up.
Here is your black coffee.
[Krish whispering] I fucked up. I fucked up.
[whispering] You really fucking did.
But you could fix it.
-You sure? -Yeah, bro.
-Yo, you go fix it. -Yeah, you have fun.
Have faith.
[cell phone chimes]
[cell phone beeping]
[Harsh] Cons.
In the midst of so many people, this could get incredibly embarrassing.
Pros.
If I tell her, I'll be able to fucking breathe.
If not now, then never. Can't keep this to myself for too long.
[priest chanting in Sanskrit]
You were asking me, right, what I feel about the wedding?
I'm really immensely, immensely happy for Mom.
She's got a lifetime subscription to happiness.
Did I miss anything?
[gasps, chuckles]
[Ashish] And guess what?
Dad is here, too.
[Harsh] Everyone's being gutsy, man. My turn now.
Dimple.
I'll give you an invalid, illogical, nonsensical reason to stay back.
And that reason is you.
When I'm with you, Jaipur feels like freakin' Hawaii.
Meaning, you'll drop Berklee for that?
That depends on you.
That depends entirely on you. Whatever you say.
If you also feel that we have something,
then, uh, I'll stay back.
-Harsh, that's a lot of pressure. -There's no pressure.
It'll be my decision. I'll bear the pressure of it.
Just give it a thought.
Take your time.
You have about an hour.
In an hour, I've gotta get back to the counselor.
Meaning, along with my career, I decide about your career as well,
and that too in the next hour?
Sort of.
Are you crazy?
Harsh, this is about your whole career, man.
And you'll drop all of it just for me?
Not for you, for myself.
[applause]
[Harsh] Truth bombs, when they explode, there are chances of massive destruction.
Ready or not, it's been dropped.

-[in English] Your Highness. -How are you? All well?
[Mr. Bidasaria] It's good that we met.
Our children's wedding should be a spectacular affair.
-[chuckles] -Maldives. How's that for the destination?
Um… [chuckles] I'm sorry, but the music is quite loud.
I'm not sure I understood.
If you are looking for a suitable match for Namrata,
then I could send a WhatsApp group's invite for that.
I found girl for Rishi in that same group. [chuckles]
Give me half an hour. I promise I'll get back to you.
-Papa. -Hmm?
When you chose Mummy to be your bride,
how did you do it?
[chuckles] It was a tough decision.
It was the mind-versus-the-heart problem, you know.
Mind was saying, "The girl is a bit hyper. Don't risk it."
But the heart overruled.
The heart knew that.
And if the heart was confused too?
The confusion is always of the mind.
The heart is always clear. It knows what it wants.
Dimple, are you okay?
-Hmm. -Huh?
Don't get so concerned about your mother.
She becomes Shammi Kapoor at every wedding she attends.
Eight-ten years back, we were here for a wedding in Jaipur.
No different then. She had taken over the whole stage.
[chuckles]
I'm pretty sure the venue also same.
-Papa, I'll be right back. -Yeah, go on.
[video game sounds]
Why are you dirtying the wall?
-Because this is my art gallery. -But why are you making on the wall?
You won't be able to take it with you anywhere.
You should draw on a computer. Or wait.
Use this.
Then you can take it with you.
I am never going to get married. How boring these weddings are.
I wish there was a game to escape from such parties.
On the day of my wedding,
there'll be a big entertainment zone for everyone.
-It will have video games also. -You must invite me also.
And you must have good dishes on the menu, okay?
-You didn't like the food here? -[clicks tongue]
Try this. You will never forget the taste.
Mm.
Mm!
What is this called?
Shrikhand.
-Sounds like a mountain's name. -[chuckles]
[Simple] Dimple!
Wish me luck. I'm going to own my secret.
All the best?
Thanks.
[Harsh] Celina.
-Have you seen Dimple? -Have you seen Dim--
I don't see her here. You check here, I'll check that side,
Okay.
That was nice what you did there, Dad.
Made mom really happy.
-[clicks tongue] -Thank you.
I didn't make her very happy when we were together.
Kalpana was never this happy when she was with me.
[laughter]
He's a good chap, this, uh, Ranvir.
[chuckles]
Randeep, Dad.
I messed up, Rishi.
'Cause that right there
was the love of my life.
I let her go.
I let her go and didn't plead with her even once to come back.
Look how happy she is.
And here I am, drowning my regrets in a peg of whiskey.
[scoffs] Pathetic.
I should have never let her go.
There's something I have to do.
-Hey. -Hey.
You okay?
Beyond a point, I can't handle wedding celebrations.
Since I was a kid.
You know, when I was a child, this place used to be my art gallery.
And what you're looking at right now is an original Rishi Sigh Shekhawat.
[young Simple] Dimple!
-Mummy's calling me. -[boy] One minute.
Take this drawing with you. It's a gift.
Wow. I'll stick it on my wall for sure.
Now remember, draw on a computer.
Just think, if you make a drawing on the computer,
you'll be able to move it also, like a cartoon.
Oh.
So then, finally your drawings started moving also.
-Just like cartoons. -Hey, this cartoon--
[gentle music playing]
And that pickup line about Shrikhand is also really old.
-No! -[chuckles]
That was you? What?
So it was you who planted this animation bug in my head.
-My life is a lie! -[chuckles]
This is the height of coincidence, man.
No. This is…
this is not a coincidence. It's a… This is kismet.
Wow!
It's not a film, Rishi. It's real life.
Honestly, even real life feels like a film now.
[both chuckle]
[sighs]
Listen.
I never really apologized to you properly.
I'm really sorry.
How about this?
So far, whatever has happened between us…
deleted, gone.
Tell me something.
How many Arijit Singh songs have you listened to?
-You mean Avijit Singh? -[both chuckle]
My coping mechanisms are a bit different.
[giggling]
Well, that's it?
Hundred reasons you said and you're done with just six?
Listen, please send this video to me,
so next time I want to pick a fight with you, I'll watch this video first.
Found another reason. Shall I put it down?
You just feel like fighting all the time, isn't it?
No, but seriously, Rishi. This is too good.
You really should focus on your animation more.
Nandini Nahata institute is offering a virtual reality course
which is mind blowing.
[clicks tongue]
-It's just a hobby, Dimple. -Ugh.
[Rishi, on speakers] A legendary Bollywood film
taught me a life philosophy long ago.
That we live once, die once,
get married only once and fall in love also just once.
Rubbish. This is--
Uh, whatever y'all heard till now or saw, just cancel, ignore.
You may get married more than once, but love happens only once.
Honest, intense, love.
The one that makes you feel everything.
Some people make mistakes of letting it get away.
And some people, after some trial and error,
eventually find it.
The one that's not logical, or practical even.
It just is.
All a bit too cheesy, I say.
Um, anyway, what do I know?
I'm just a…
silly boy in love.
[Janmajay on video] So, Kalpana…
I don't want to make the same mistake again.
I must tell Harsh.
[running footsteps]
…my heartiest congratulations to you both.
Taught you so much.
What a waste.
Giving a speech is very easy, but face-to-face breakup…
[in Tamil] …hurts a lot.
[in English] I mean, it was only casual, technically,
But you do know how I felt.
You just didn't want to see it.
I'm sorry.
Between two people,
The person who loves more always gets hurt.
Can I just have one thing, Shekhu?
Please, let me break up with you.
Go to hell. Our relationship is over.
[in Tamil] Fool.
[in English] You'll never find anybody like me.
I won't.
Can I have a quick picture, though?
[chuckles softly] Yeah.
[camera clicks]
Oh.
Here. I didn't need it.
I've copied the wedding video on to this
and Ashish's cloud was open, so I uploaded a copy there as well.
[dance music playing]
Excuse me.
Excuse me, excuse me.
Listen.
-Have you seen-- -When did you come?
-Have you seen Dimple anywhere? -No.
-Okay. -But listen, C!
Hmm? Oh, brother?
I'm asking you one last time. Why is Dimple's code in your cloud?
Why'd you upload it from my laptop?
To give it to Celina.
I had to do it, brother.
She said, "Can't you do this much for me?" And I couldn't say no to her.
Brother, I'm really sorry.
Um, Dimple, I'm so sorry.
I warned you, C. I knew we'd get caught.
I can explain.
No, I really can explain.
Let's do one thing.
We'll sit down, and we'll talk. I'll tell you everything from the start.
I was coming here…
I was coming to tell you, and I'm here to tell you…
-Celina, not right now. -[voice breaking] No, please.
Just let me talk to her.
Dim, listen.
This is all because of Simran.
I'm a delivery girl and Simran came to know about this.
She was going to tell everyone, and that's why I had to do it.
And you know me, Dim.
Why would I do something like this to you?
Let's not… Let's just do one thing.
Let's go. We'll go to Sid Sir and we complain to him.
She framed it.
Please say something, Dim.
I'm really sorry. I didn't… I didn't mean to do it.
Listen to me. Please say something.
You were my best friend, Celina.
[sobbing]
[Harsh] There's something in the air.
This summer evening feels oddly cold.
My heart's burning, my breath is frozen.
This pain is kind of new.
Or is it as old as time?
I hadn't imagined this in my worst nightmare.
And boom, here I'm living it.
Fuck it. There's no need for a list.
A pros and cons list is made by those who need to answer someone.
I got my answer.
It was good while it lasted,
but the summer romance was bound to end before the end of summer itself.
Come on, cut your losses and pick up your bags.
Take your broken heart and turn it into art.
