Why's everything so pink? Red is the color of love, isn't it?
- These colors look really elegant, okay? - Rishi bhaiya won't like it at all.
I know Rishi very well. He's going to love this.
I slept with him for three months. I am closer to him, get that?
Slept with him?
- Listen to him! - I'm closer to you, right?
- He's saying he slept-- - What is wrong with you guys?
There's an "arranged-marriage" look on your face.
- Just shut up! - What? You got a booty call from Nandini?
Need to go to Dimple. It's an emergency.
- Oh, booty call from Dimple? - Shut up!
Rishi.
Dadi has sent a voice note just for you on our family group.
Can you please send her a reply?
- She's been messaging me constantly. - No, I won't reply.
I'm very upset with her. How can she not be around?
Oh-ho, she's gone there for you, no, beta?
Please, listen to it and answer, okay?
Tejmal ji?
Rishi, I know you're very upset. But it's just your engagement, beta.
I'll take care of everything at your wedding.
- Hey, Rishi… - Yeah, what happened?
Uh, are you sure about all this?
Looks like it, Dad.
These are the best years of your life, and you're busy getting engaged.
- You should be playing the field. - No. Thank you.
I know some nice young girls!
Save them for Ashish, then.
I'll save them for myself. I need a drink.
- How's the photographer? - I have my doubts.
Actually, I had a damn good photographer in mind.
So then?
Three years ago, you broke her heart, remember?
Wow.
You need to stop hanging out with my dad.
It's going to be an emotional day.
I don't usually go for this lovey-dovey talk,
but you know the best thing about a relationship?
Whenever and whatever the tension you are under…
It's not like my daughter's happiness is more important than mine,
but today is a special day for her, and we just can't…
…you always have a 24-hour helpline at the ready.
You're allowed to laugh.
Oh God!
Sorry. Made a panic call to you. Celina's on the way.
Oh no, just see how my poor baby is looking.
- She spoiled the entire makeup. - Really?
You had given her this makeup reference.
You're going to fight with me today? You look pretty.
Why do you feel you're not?
- Isn't it, beta? - Aunty, there are some fresh kachoris.
Why don't you eat? I think you're hangry.
The onion ones? I'm not too fond of dal kachoris.
- Gives me acidity. - They'll make whatever you want.
Don't worry about it. You go.
- Come. - I'm not going anywhere looking like this.
Arey, just get up, na.
You're happy?
Ooh!Freaky.
Dadbot?
Deleted.
Thank you.
And for this, you get…
Ah, it's already ruined. It can't get worse.
…a star!
All set for Technovate?
Yeah, but before that, there's a very important event in my life.
What event?
I'm getting engaged, actually.
And I'd really like for you to be there.
And if you come to Technovate--
Have no fear, Celina is here.
What's the damage?
Okay…
We have a lot of work to do.
War is man-made.
You're an Indian. I'm from across the shores.
I must spend my life with you, my heart knows.
So, after much thought,
I've decided to give it a shot.
To tie us forever in an unbreakable knot.
Sai, please don't take this the wrong way, hmm?
If Rishi had given me a little notice, I would have cast someone else,
anyone else for this leading role.
But please, add some intonation, inflection, intensity, emotion,
something in your lines, please.
See, the problem is, this is all bad writing, okay?
- Okay. - See, the meter is all wrong.
And… Ah! Let me give you an example of a good rap.
It's not meant to be a rap--
No, it's not!
♪ Steppin' up to be The brown Romeo we need ♪
♪ So much knowledge in me Makes my motherfuckin' wonder ♪
♪ Wanna get a college degree? ♪
- ♪ But no one quite likes me ♪ - Sai miyaan.
You seem a little under the weather. Go get some rest.
Aalif! You're back.
Yes.
Well, I thought it's only a matter of a day.
So, let me come help you.
The other day, you just left before we could finish our conversation.
I…
Oh, we don't need to finish that conversation.
Your face is really expressive, you know.
You knew it very well, right?
That I really like you?
Your face is also quite expressive.
Then why didn't you tell me?
Because, Aalif, we're friends.
And I didn't want to spoil our friendship.
So, you could have told me directly
that, "Aloo, I'm out of your league, okay?"
Not like it would've been some plot twist for me.
- I look at myself in the mirror every day. - Wait. That's not fair.
I've never thought or said any of those things.
That's how you think.
Because you keep telling yourself all these things.
You only show the world what you yourself see in the mirror.
But what's deep within you,
that I can see, why hide that from the world?
Aalif, I… How do I explain to you?
You're in a league of your own.
People always tell me that there are better things in life than alcohol.
But you know what I say?
Alcohol compensates for us not having them.
- The bar beckons? - Of course! Let's go!
Wow, Celina didi! Look at you.
You're looking so amazing.
You're not looking too bad either.
Well, wait till this evening. Romance max will happen.
Sorry, didi. Actually, you're not my type.
I swear, I'll kill you if you touch those flowers.
Red is the color of love, which is why I'm putting these roses here.
Red is also the color of blood. Want to see some of yours?
Hi.
How are you?
Fine. You?
Pretty good.
I heard about "Geeky Nerdy Pyaar."
- Congratulations. - Yeah. Touch wood.
Actually, your app is the real thing. "Proud and About," right?
Oh my God, how lovely!
- Hi. - Rishi's bestie and Dimple's bestie.
Come on, come on. We need to capture this moment.
- Uh… Okay. - Just move a little.
There you go.
Yeah, smile!
Nice.
Come.
Okay, that's great.
I'll see you later.
- See you. - Nice, na, this one?
What do you think?
Turn around.
Turn fully. Stop!
That's it. You look like Hrithik's brother.
Okay, listen,
what do you think of the engagement?
I mean, do you think I'm doing the right thing?
You're asking someone who's almost never done the right thing.
Fair enough.
Look, I think, you don't need to overthink it too much. Okay?
It's Dimple and Rishi. It's meant to be.
So I think, just do the whole world a favor and take the win.
Thought of a hashtag?
You know, it's a bit cheesy, I know, but I was thinking, DimpShi.
What do you think?
Listen, please don't ruin a perfect thing.
Regret is an absolute bitch.
Come here.
Bro…
You can still save this.
You should still save this.
A three-year-long relationship cannot end in just a few days or weeks.
There's a famous saying in gaming,
"Gamers don't die. They respawn."
I know, I know a relationship is not a game.
But maybe it can still respawn?
I'm sorry.
All the verbal vomit I spewed, please forget it.
I'm a top… A-grade…
if you allow me to swear, I'll invent the foulest cuss word to describe myself.
I was… I was frustrated with Maddy,
and it came out on you.
It's not about Maddy.
It's about us, Anmol.
Exactly, yeah.
Uh, just think about it. In three years, have we ever fought once?
Just one argument, and you're ready to let go of everything?
V, I fucked up.
Okay? I…
Just…
don't leave me, please.
You left me, Anmol!
You were my safe space.
I know.
And I'm sorry.
See, the truth is that I can't believe that you can love someone like me.
I'm always afraid.
I mean, what if it was just charity?
Just give me one more chance, okay?
I can't, Anmol.
Let's meet once and talk.
I… I can come right away. Look, I'm in Jaipur.
Say the word, I'll be there.
- No, no. No, no, no! - V?
Don't come here, please. I can't…
I won't be able to handle this. Don't come here.
Okay. Okay, V.
Just… just… just breathe.
Anmol…
If you ever loved me…
please just leave me alone.
All the lives are over.
And there's no restart button either.
My 24-hour helpline may have been disconnected forever.
Day drinking?
Bad day drinking.
Drink up.
My good deed of the day done.
Sir, bring your hand forward just a little. Place it on the shoulder.
Very nice.
Dimple, smile a little.
- I am smiling. - Just smile, na? A little bit, Dimple.
Sir, raise both your hands like Titanic!
- Like in Titanic. Stand in front. - No!
- I don't want to do it, Mummy. - Hold some coffee.
Yeah, go get some cold coffee.
- Do it. Do it. - No! Listen, why cold coffee?
- My clothes will get spoiled. - Let me look at this.
Put it on manual.
- Do the RK pose. - Please smile, ma'am. Smile. Yes, smile.
- What is "RK" pose? - Like this. Like this. See? Yeah!
Do it. Huh? Bend.
- Right. - Hurry up. We are losing light.
- Yes, yes. Yes, sir. - Hi.
- It's getting dark. - Yes, sir.
You clicking the pictures or not?
- You're busy eating. - Go. I'll handle.
Mummy, Mummy, one second. Can you just calm down, please?
Sir, how about you take her photos?
Yes. Look this way.
Smile, ma'am, smile.
Lower the shutter speed.
One more, please. Hmm.
Yes, yes, ma'am, smile.
What are you doing?
Did you pay two and a half lakh for Technovate?
Two and a half lakh? Are you crazy? Where is the money?
- Thank God they didn't ask for any dowry. - Mummy.
- What if they ask after the wedding? - What are you saying?
- Tell your foreigner father-in-law-- - He's not a foreigner.
Tell your fair and glowing father-in-law that I won't sell my Ambala house--
Have you seen this haveli? You think they are interested in…
- Why do I even talk to you? - Twenty-one years, and even I don't know.
One second.
It's good that the registration fees have been paid, Dimple!
Rishi is lucky.
Where's Rishi?
Tell me the truth. You paid for my Technovate registration?
You're coming to Bombay now? That's amazing!
Please drop the act, Rishi.
Arey, I'm not acting at all.
Why would I pay your fees, Dimple?
Have you forgotten that conversation about your money plant?
Then who paid it?
Maybe it's an engagement gift from someone?
Oh man, that's so sweet!
Listen, I'm so excited.
Technovate is also set. Today's event is also set.
Now just there's one problem.
You're totally overshadowing me today.
You're too beautiful.
Thank you.
All the vibes scream, "happily ever after," bro.
But if I learned one thing as a gamer,
it's that if everything's going smoothly,
that means someone somewhere is just gonna mess shit up.
What the fuck?
We're done testing all the major worlds.
Two smaller ones left,
which Krish is checking, and then we're good for Technovate.
And ten days is enough time?
Yeah! Uh, A game. So…
Okay. I'll wait for the status report. Yeah.
Shit!
Nice outfit! Is it designer?
- Uh, actually, it's a gift. - Whoever gifted it to you has great taste.
- Can I take a picture? - Sure.
Thank you.
Paps and all, huh?
So much vanity will cause insanity, Mr. Joshi.
From now on, football jerseys cancelled. I'm a blazer kind of guy.
I see. I like it.
- You look great. - Hello!
Congratulations.
Wow, I can't believe this.
By the way, Ayesha, if aunties and uncles ask,
how do I introduce you to them?
Like, we're partners, but what if they think business partners?
If anyone's confused, just tell them, it's a romance situation.
Not a finance situation.
- Hey. All good? - Hey.
Look! The OG love triangle is back.
So cute.
Actually, it's more like parallel lines now.
Oh, nice.
Yeah. And, uh…
This story also happened because of you two.
How?
Your T-shirt prints?
What T-shirt prints?
Okay, that story I'll tell you guys some other time.
But right now, there's another love triangle that I need to sort.
So, see you later.
That's a good idea. We should do some GNP merchandise.
What do you want, Krish?
Fucking hell, Celina! I'm fucked!
I'm fucked, and it's all because of you and that fucking, goddamn bitch Rithika!
- I'm-- - Stop yelling.
What's wrong, Krish?
- Betterverse has been hacked. - What?
- Yeah. - Does Nandini know?
Are you mad? Are you mad?
Are you mad? Go and call her. Why are you calling me?
I'm calling you because it happened
right after that crap between you, me, and that bloody Rithika.
I'm telling you, it all happened immediately after that.
What exactly are you trying to say?
Celina, your boyfr-- girlfriend…
I don't give a fuck whoever they are. Okay? Whatever they are, okay?
They have hacked into Betterverse using my fucking ID.
Are you on something?
Rith has better things to do
than to sit around and hack into Betterverse!
Oh my God, man. Exact same date! It's happened
on the same date. Use your mind. Think about it.
Who else… who else would want to get me into trouble right now?
You know, you're clearly deluded if you think you have only one enemy.
Forget that, Celina.
If they're around you right now, then call them. Give them the phone.
Fuck off, Krish! This is too low, even for you.
Fuck!
- Krish? - Yeah.
He's completely lost it.
He's saying that you hacked Betterverse. That, too, from his ID.
I mean, how bizarre is that?
Wait.
Was it you?
Fuck!
- Bro, starts anytime now. - Yeah, one second.
- Bro, what are you doing? - These oranges are fucking sour.
- Sai miyaan. - Emergency! I'll come. I'll come.
By the time our child gets engaged,
we would've already become senior citizens by then, no?
- Silly Celi! - Oh, hello.
- How are you? - I'm good. You're looking so beautiful!
- I'll catch you guys in a bit, yeah? - Okay.
Okay.
So you're saying, you came to Hyderabad so that--
That's right. So that I could enter Betterverse.
I had no intention to do anything illegal, I swear.
I just wanted to experience Betterverse. Because I just couldn't wait.
And when I saw Rishi and Dimple over there--
- Saw them where? - In Betterverse.
Rishi had given Dimple access to it. So the firewall got compromised,
and that's how I could get in.
I just wanted to see how it feels. It was totally harmless.
- Then why the hell did you hack it now? - Because of Krish.
I was angry at him. It was the worst day of my life.
I wanted to kill him. I…
You understand me, right?
Only you can understand me, Celina.
You can understand…
Cel, I… I love… I love you.
Just leave me alone.
I can't even look at you right now.
Cel…
Sir, I need to ask you something.
You've never been this formal with me. All good?
- Sir, did you pay my registration fees? - Technovate?
Your registration's done?
That's great news.
If you didn't pay, then who--
We really tried to somehow get your sponsorship arranged,
but it didn't happen.
This is just strange. I need to find out who paid.
You don't need to find out anything.
Dimple, it's your engagement today. Focus on that.
Okay?
- Okay. - Hmm.
Hmm.
I'll just…
- Please eat, drink, have a great time! - Yes, carry on.
Dimple has been through so much lately.
Hmm.
It's such a happy occasion, but she's still not happy.
- Sir. - Thanks.
By the way…
you also seem to be in the same state.
Zeenat…
I don't think we should adopt.
I'm sorry, but…
I don't think I'm ready.
This game now has multiple levels,
multiple players,
multiple strategies.
Everyone has a different reason,
and it's impossible to reason out with any of them.
But just ask yourself,
was winning the game really worth it?
I know this feels like déjà vu, Dim.
But perhaps back then, my priorities were wrong.
I know what's important now.
I can't let history repeat itself.
I need to tell Rishi about it, Cel.
He'll blame himself for all this because he's broken the rule.
Just… just wait for some time, Dim. I'm sure Krish will figure something out.
Just, please wait.
No, I have to tell him.
It's too important for him.
But Dim…
Okay, okay, okay. Sai,
"The source of the virus is where the glitches are the most dense."
"So identify the corresponding code, and delete, delete, delete."
Listen, where's Rishi?
Of course!
Hey!
Aunty, have you seen Dimple?
Who?
Your daughter, Aunty. Where is she?
We'll wait and watch.
Rishi?
- Huh? - I need to tell you something.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go. - Yeah, tell me.
Sai, let's go, man.
What's happening? Why are you so lost?
Not thinking. Just looking at you.
It's rather difficult to overshadow you.
So then, Ms. Ahuja?
I'm ready. Are you ready?
Begum jaan, wear the veil.
Your dad will get mad.
Beta Khair,
Lieutenant Dan.
And please meet him,
Colonel James Kirkpatrick.
Where is Patrick? Someone call him.
- Where is he? Oh no! - James, where are you?
Colonel James Kirkpatrick?
Hello, Colonel James?
Nandini ma'am has called Sai for Betterverse work.
- Nizam sahab, Nizam sahab! - Huh?
Calm down, please. Let's go to the garden.
- Garden? - Shut up!
Alhamdulillah!
You learned Urdu just to impress me?
Uh, I'm a master of every language,
but still can't find words to say what I feel.
Love at first sight?
Love lasts for a few moments.
Begins with hope and ends with despair.
Wow, wow!
I hear your father has found a man for you.
But… what if I find a man for myself first?
Before every "happily ever after," there was a "once upon a time."
And nobody ever forgets that "once upon a time."
- It's beautiful, isn't it? - It is, but it's pink.
I'll have to tell Namrata didi about this.
I got this made.
Sorry.
All that's happening here…
it's happening because I asked for it.
They are getting engaged at such a young age just for my happiness.
So, I thought I should also do something for them.
I feel they both will be super happy with this and…
and the engagement as well.
And I?
Do I look happy?
I can't really show the pain of losing my best half.
So now I have to be happy on behalf of two people.
What's wrong with you? Made me sad for no reason.
Come on, we have work to do.
The terms and conditions of a relationship clearly state…
Anmol?
…that a 24-hour helpline also comes with an expiry date.
It's such a happy occasion.
Why are you looking so sad?
Well, your happiness index also doesn't look too high.
I asked you first.
Six years ago, when I had my accident,
one thing became clear.
Forget about love.
No one likes a defective piece.
And then look at my luck.
Vinny came into my life.
Not for a second did she make me feel like I was some kind of a defective piece.
And it's not like she didn't have options. She had no shortage of them.
But she still chose me.
It just took me this long to realize that
my defect isn't here.
It's here.
Because I let her go.
Why are you talking like this?
Like as if
Vinny was doing some kind of a favor on you.
Show me
one person who doesn't have any defect in them.
Anmol,
every person in this world has different circumstances and dreams.
And in spite of that,
we all have the right to love.
Well, she sure makes sense.
This helpline called "relationship" needs to have
both an incoming as well as an outgoing service.
Otherwise, it means that the connection was never stable.
I'll give you guys a second.
Zeenat,
I know you're upset.
Siddharth…
if you're not yet ready for adoption…
it's okay.
I can understand.
Zeenat, I'm sorry.
Everything's happening so fast.
I thought it would take at least two to three years, like you'd said.
But now I need to become someone's dad in just one month.
My "dad capacity" and energy has already been spent on my students.
I don-- I don't know what I'm telling you, but--
Siddharth,
you please don't worry about all this.
No matter what happens,
I'll never force you to do anything you don't want to.
Thank you.
Speech!
For as long as I can remember,
I've been a silly boy in love.
Dimple,
after seeing one grumpy photo of you…
…without even meeting you,
I had manifested that there will be a day you will be my future wife.
That we were destined to be together.
And here we are.
I read somewhere that…
that falling in love with someone is a feeling.
But to keep loving forever is a decision.
I found it unromantic, actually.
So I have decided that…
this special feeling I have for you, Dimple,
I'll never let go of it.
Not only will I always love you,
but I will continue to fall in love with you every single day.
Aw!
I'll keep feeding you boxes of shrikhand.
I'll watch any and every movie just with you.
And no matter how scared I may be of heights,
I'll fly with you on that hot-air balloon again and again.
And if you ever face a problem in your life,
it's not your problem to deal with.
It'll be my problem.
Beta, if you face a problem in life, it's not your problem to deal with.
It's my problem.
I love you, Dimple.
I love you.
And I love you guys.
Well, these two defective pieces
have finally found their "happily ever after."
Vinny would have loved to see this.
It's fantastic, sir.
Looks great.
By the way, "happily ever after," is a fantasy.
- You know, the biggest issue in life… - All good.
…is that these problems are never-ending.
And they don't give you a heads-up when they are about to come.
I mean, no matter how much you prepare, even apply lube,
it's always gonna be, like,
"Surprise, mofos! Here I am, to screw you over!"
Dimple.
Join me.
Come.
- So, all set for Technovate? Awesome. - Did you pay my fees--
I hope you're a cocktail person and not a boring mocktail person.
- Thank you. - Cheers!
Cheers!
I thought I should check on you.
I can very well imagine
the last few months must have been pretty tough for you.
Well, my reputation over here is pretty fixed.
As an absent father.
But of late,
I've put in a lot of effort to do the best for my children's happiness.
And now, that includes you too.
So, I was thinking that you and Rishi should live together.
And I will buy you guys a nice house.
In Jaipur, Ambala, Hyderabad, or even London.
Wherever you want to be. No big deal.
An advance wedding gift from me to you guys.
I'm sure your papa would've also wanted the same.
So…
anything you need, Dimple,
as a friend or as a father,
I'm here. Okay?
Sorry. I'll be right back.
