Everything is over.
Nothing's left.
Everything is over.
How much stock has been contaminated?
Well…
All of it.
Oh, God. What has happened?
As it is, pressure is a serious issue here. You don't worry.
Let me assure you, I won't spare the contractor.
What purpose will that serve? Will I get my beer back?
What happened to him?
He looks as if his house has been robbed.
Brother, take it easy.
-It's just beer. -Just beer?
What did you say? Just beer?
This beer is worth more than your entire lifetime's work.
No matter what you say, it was still just beer.
-Bastard! -Look. What's done is done.
Let's move on. Let's find a solution for this.
Hey. Keep your pep talk to yourself.
Madam, you are crossing the line now.
Do you have life insurance?
Because you're going to need it.
Shakes, insurance! Insurance!
-Yes. I have insurance for this. -Yes!
Insurance will pay much more than the damage.
-Darshan. -Yes.
How much time will it take for the insurance claim to get cleared?
If I use all my contacts, then…
it will take two to three months.
But until then, I will have to keep the brewery closed.
-What? -Close it?
What kind of a bastard are you?
-What are you saying? -Disgusting, madam.
Such ungraceful language doesn't suit a girl as beautiful as you.
Give me time to think. I will do something.
Let me make some calls. I will do something.
Hold on. Look. I am on it.
-I will just come. -We will have to change the launch date.
Everything is over. Our life is over. What will we do…
Bobby, if we don't deliver on time,
we'll be charged with hefty fines.
How much time will it take
-to make a new batch? -New batch?
We could make a new batch, but I don't even know if it will turn out the same.
Bobby, is it possible or not?
You don't understand, Anahita. Shikha, please explain this to her.
Where will we even brew the beer?
We will do it.
We will definitely brew it.
But money?
Our entire working capital… I mean…
This is what everybody wants.
That we fail.
But unfortunately,
that's not an option for us.
My companion
My eternal partner, all day long
I find myself telling stories That begin with you
My eternal partner, all day long
Life is nothing but the moments I spend with you
My eternal partner, all day long
I find myself telling stories That begin with you
My eternal partner, all day long
Life is nothing but the moments I spend with you
Uncle Ronnie, please?
It's such a small amount. I am sure you will ma--
Hello? Hello, Uncle Ronnie?
Uncle Sudhakar? Hi, I'm Shikha.
Radha's daughter.
Marriage?
No. I've not gotten married.
When it happens, I'll invite you.
Not a beer bar, Uncle.
The money is for a beer business. Beer brand?
Uncle, do you understand?
Hello, Shri Bhandar Cooperative.
Hello? Hello?
-Hello! -Inder.
Listen to me. Okay?
Technically, you are not going to compete with Walia. I promise.
We are way too small in the market.
Inder, I've never asked you for any favor until now.
It's the least you can do for me.
Get lost, you bastard!
I will shove a bamboo in your mouth, and it will exit from your arse!
Dumbshit.
He's a friend…
Okay. Fine. If you cannot do anything, I'll manage somehow.
Yes. Don't worry.
Hey.
What?
Inder has finally agreed.
He is arranging a contract brewery for us.
So, that's good, right?
Brewing in a brewery requires money, Bobby.
We're still unable to get a loan.
Damn it.
We don't have any money.
There is a hack.
What?
Never mind. It will cause problems.
What kinds of problems?
She'll create a scandal.
-What scandal? -She?
You're saying she's a woman?
Yes.
Laila Singh.
-Who is Laila Singh? -Who is Laila Singh?
O Laila
Both of you have done good work.
But your destiny…
is testing you.
Absolutely, ma'am.
We have heard a lot about you from Bobby.
Really?
Bobby, I have become the talk of the town
-and I had no inkling. -I…
No, ma'am. Nothing like that. All good things.
Like the way you've supported so many startups. It's…
And just meeting a female funder is both rare and reassuring for us.
-In fact, all your ventures… -You want two khokhas right?
Khokha?
Crore.
Yeah. Actually. Right?
And presales?
-The entire inventory is sold out. -Yeah.
From liquor shops to hipster bars,
-everybody is dying to sell our beer. -Oh.
Everything was going rather smoothly.
Then this brewery disaster happened.
Only in times of distress does one remember me.
If everything did go smoothly,
you won't need my help.
-No, ma'am. -That's not true, ma'am.
Can I offer you some advice?
Woman to woman.
Even if you wind up with a good-for-nothing husband,
you'll somehow still manage to spend your life.
But if you get a bad business partner, then you're actually screwed.
I like both of you.
Take it at 20 percent. For six months.
But banks charge 12 percent?
But you didn't go to the bank, right?
No.
Okay, ma'am. For us, why don't you--
I will discuss that with David Jones.
I will have to answer this. I will have to take it.
-Sure. -Yes.
Mukesh. Tell me.
-David Jones, again? -You seem quite busy…
-Even she knows about David Jones. -Laila will never change the deal.
This will cost us big time. We should leave from here.
-Let's go. -Calm down.
Wait for two minutes.
-She is definitely robbing us. -Yes.
But at such short notice,
she is ready to give us two khokhas. Why am I saying khokha?
I mean, she is ready to give us two crores.
It's not a small thing. We should think about it.
-We should seriously think… -Shakes, it's a bit ridiculous,
to be honest. I mean,
twenty percent. Is she crazy?
-Yes. -But so is our ask.
Mak, trust me.
She is the person we need.
-She is so cool. -No.
Yeah. Actually, even I was thinking…
-nobody has ever spoken to us this nicely. -Right?
-Yeah. -I do.
I am telling you, I've got a small crush on her.
Did you see her shoes?
-They're legit! -I was seeing the same thing!
They're not off the rack.
Did you see how she styled it?
With a sari. It's so beautiful.
-Can you believe that? -Our business is screwed…
-She's such a fashionista! -and you girls are talking about shoes.
-Just appreciate the good things, Bobby. -Yeah, so…
Don't I?
Balbinder Bagga, you are a coward.
Yes. I am a coward.
What will we tell Laila? Where is David Jones?
He is traveling. He is busy. He is sick. We will say anything.
You guys don't know Laila Singh. Try to understand.
Anahita, she doesn't know Laila Singh. She is very dangerous.
-You guys continue. -Go later.
-Where is the washroom? -Try to control it.
-Before Laila comes… -Why are you…
Here. Hold this.
-Why aren't you repaying the money? -I am unable to…
You know how to take a loan. Shall I teach you how to repay it?
No!
Bastard!
Seven days. I swear.
Bastard!
Chintu.
Madam. Madam, I just need one week.
Ask for money.
I will give it.
But I don't have time for anybody.
Madam, had it been in my hands,
-I would have definitely… -It's not in your hands.
So your hands are not required.
-Ma'am, please. -Chop his hands.
Madam.
Please, madam. Please, ma'am.
Don't plead so much.
My heart will melt.
-Please. -I am tender-hearted.
Fine. I'll take pity on you.
Not the hands.
Chop his thumb.
No. No, madam.
No.
Guys. Shakes. Bobby.
-We can't. -What happened?
-Loosies? -We can't. We can't.
-What happened? -Hand.
-Hand. Hand. -Are you hurt? What happened?
-No. Thumb. Thumb. -Thumb?
-She chopped it. -What? Whose?
-What happened? Who? -She cut his thumb off!
-What are you saying? -Laila. Laila.
Yes.
She is NCR's biggest gangster, Tokas Pehlwan's "close friend."
-What? -What the hell!
You have brought us to a gangster for a loan?
-How smart, Bobby! -I told you it's risky.
It's not just risky. She is literally chopping fingers, Bobby.
My uncle's son took a loan from her.
But he repaid it on time.
We will also repay it. We will repay it, right?
But why did you bring us here?
You said it yourself!
We will have to pay penalties. We will have to close the company.
We won't be able to make beer. So I thought I might as well
-take a risk. -How can you decide that, Bobby?
Shakes, after starting our company, we also have to stay alive, right?
-Yes. -With all our body parts intact.
-Yes. -Who wants to stay alive?
So, what were we discussing?
Oh, yes.
I will have to meet David Jones.
-Would you like to do a video call? -That will be good.
No. Absolutely not.
I like new businesses.
But not so much the new ways of business.
Only face-to-face.
Okay?
So, how about Monday?
Monday.
She's part of the mafia, Shakes.
I told you.
-I had informed… -You don't say a word. This was your idea.
Mak, we don't know why she cut that man's thumb off.
We will repay her loan on time.
If we are trying to build our business, we will have to take a risk somewhere.
How much more risk? I can't take any more risk.
Aren't we forgetting something?
Where are we supposed to conjure up David Jones from?
We can make countless excuses. Let me think. You don't worry.
You guys don't understand.
If Laila wants something, she wants it no matter what.
If she wants to meet David, she most definitely will.
I think we know that by now, Bobby.
There must be some other option, Shakes.
-Another option… -Mak.
-Scared is what you're feeling… -Very damn stupid is what we're doing!
Okay. Okay.
I know.
I am stupid. All this is stupid.
-But just think logically. -Logically?
Whether we take a loan from a bank or from Laila,
it's still a bridge loan at the end of the day.
We will repay it.
We will.
Mak, I believe in our product.
I believe in us.
-Don't you? -I do…
Nothing will happen to your fingers. Okay?
My finger…
We will sacrifice Bobby's finger.
Don't worry. I am here. I am not going to let anything happen.
You have to promise me one thing.
In our long list of stupid decisions,
this will be the very last stupid decision.
I swear on your brother.
Poor guy will die.
Now, where do we find this David Jones from?
Shall we go to the Bagpackers street?
Carefully, man!
Not Bagpackers street.
Park Street.
Auntie Gugi, how are you?
Hi, Auntie.
Shikha.
Hi, Anita.
Anahita.
How come you suddenly remembered Auntie Gugi?
What to do, Auntie?
When there's work to be done, one tends to remember.
And when will Auntie Gugi get a hug?
Auntie!
Sit.
Green tea.
-Drink. -Actually, it's a little urgent.
Auntie, who was the man
who called you a soft croissant?
I need his number.
Victor. He is my boyfriend.
But why do you want his number?
Victor is not your boyfriend.
He is.
I know who your boyfriend is.
Bittu is your boyfriend.
Ouch!
Shikha.
For so many years, we spent our summer vacation at your home.
I have seen both of you together many afternoons.
Bittu didn't just massage your legs.
Shikha.
Why is everybody so stunned?
Everybody knows.
Baby, come here.
I don't think you are too well.
Victor is my boyfriend. And he is from France.
My boyfriend is not from India.
Oh, so you can get a French boyfriend in just 15000 rupees?
What?
I saw you, Auntie.
You gave that man 15000 rupees.
The one who was pretending to be your boyfriend.
And now, I need an actor for hire.
And you need to come out of the closet.
But I am straight, Shikha.
Closet of classism.
Hiding your relationship is so last century.
Look at Bittu. He is so cute.
He is so sincere. He takes such good care of you.
Anahita, is there any flaw in Bittu?
No.
He is actually way better arm candy than most of your handbags.
Why don't you take him to your parties sometimes?
It's been ten years.
Make it official.
Write down the address.
I want to ask why blood boils.
I want to ask why pain spreads.
There are so many questions on my mind.
I keep searching for the answers.
Everything is fair in love.
So they say.
War leads to funerals.
So does love.
The only difference is that the funeral of war smells of hatred.
And the funeral of love smells of immortality.
-I wish that… -David Jones.
-See. I told you. -Lovers would go to the border
with bombs and ammunition.
And soldiers would lie down on the terrace,
and count stars and weave beautiful dreams.
I wish…
Sorry. Sorry.
Shakes, the insurance guy is calling.
-I wish… -We have to take this.
-Right now? -Yes.
I wish…
-Yes, sir. -Madam, you didn't send the photos.
Sir, I have emailed all the photos.
I didn't get it.
Please check it once.
Check your spam folder.
What do you mean by spam folder?
-Hold on. I will check. -Please.
No, ma'am. I didn't get any mail.
Sir, I will send it again.
Yes, please send it quickly. It's important.
-Okay. Thank you, sir. -Thank you. Thank you.
DIL SIPAHI
He wants me to send him the pictures again.
-Let's go. -What's going on?
-Is it over? -Has it ended?
Uncle. Uncle, the play?
What happened?
-Play. -David. Dylan.
The actor on stage…
Where is he?
A great mess once again!
Great mess?
-What do you mean? -Dylan's… gone!
Stumbling, falling Sometimes running ahead
Where is the destination of dreams?
Making bargains in front of fate
We arrive, carrying our lives in our hands
This world is full of tricks, my friend Even the straight path
-Uncle, stop here. -Is twisted, my friend
Who knows what's good or bad?
Okay.
What kind of maze is this?
Time's wheel never stops
So why have you stopped here?
Break the old rules Adopt a new way of living
Carve your own path
Open your wings and spread them wide
Break free from the cage and fly away
Stay here.
I have explained to you ten times. You are crazy.
-You are mad. -Get lost.
Get out of here!
Useless.
Okay.
Yes? Can I help you?
-Only you can. -Your performance was too good.
We loved it.
-You did? -I mean, it was unforgettable.
Your performance with Auntie Gugi was even better.
-Gugi? -Gugi Sen. Your friend.
That French businessman story.
Victor Jehangir.
Victor. Yes.
But, how?
We have the role of a lifetime for you.
Come. Come.
DIL SIPAHI GULDASTA
Yeah…
He kept so many women engaged.
-He was so charming. -Quite the looker.
-Yeah. -I can imagine everyone being charmed.
Wall of fame.
Yeah. You have met Victor Jehangir.
That's General Anirudh Garewal.
The bride's favorite uncle.
The groom finds him intimidating.
Yes. Prince Mudit Narayan.
He is the star of bachelor parties.
What exactly is your event?
I mean, birthday…
Business meeting.
We need an international billionaire…
-who acts as our boss. -Billionaire…
Billionaire boss.
I mean, a little classy.
I get it. I get it. Don't worry about this.
Yeah. It will be done.
Have you thought about the backstory?
-Backstory. -Backstory.
I have some good ideas for this billionaire businessman.
-Let's discuss. -Yeah.
Just come to Delhi first.
Okay.
-Delhi? -Yeah.
-New Delhi? -Yes.
-No. No. -It's only for one day.
-No. -Just one day. In and out.
-I can't. -Don't worry about travel and stay.
We will sort that out.
No. No. No.
You will get perks too.
Free beer for life.
Would you like more tea?
No. What is the problem?
You are not telling us clearly.
Money? We will pay you more than Auntie Gugi.
By the way, how much did she pay you exactly?
She…
You cannot buy me. Okay?
-I have bookings. -What bookings?
-I have meetings. -What meetings?
I have it!
I don't have any kind of breathing space!
But that has been completed.
Madam, please understand.
No means no!
Sorry for…
You see, I haven't left Kolkata in 30 years.
It's just this house…
and banks.
I took a loan from the bank for plumbing work.
Forget the plumbing,
now even the roof is collapsing here.
Now, I will have to take another loan for that.
I couldn't repay the previous loan's EMI,
so the bank has sent me a foreclosure notice.
There is a meeting for the extension.
If I don't go,
I will lose the house.
The man who left just now, was he from the bank?
What man?
Him? No. He is a stupid builder.
He's been after my house for years.
No. He is hell-bent on buying my house.
But, I'll die.
But I won't sell this house.
The house is all I have left.
My family.
My reputation.
-My memories… -What's the loan amount?
I mean… total five lakhs.
We will pay it.
"We…
We will pay it?"
Excuse me.
Can we talk, please?
We will pay it?
Who will pay us?
Our budget was 20,000 rupees. Even by a stretch, a maximum of 25,000.
Not 20 times that.
Think of it like a minor investment.
Five lakhs is not a minor investment.
Shakes, we just need an actor. Right?
Let's go to a drama school.
We will find someone who fits our budget.
Where will we get his money from?
-Radha. -Radha?
Yeah.
If we repay your loan,
do we have a deal?
Did you watch my performance?
Yes. We watched it. You were just amazing.
No, I mean, what happened there… What about that?
-Whatever happens, we will handle it. -Means?
Means your problems are now our problems.
Deal?
Yes.
Okay.
Tea? Shall I make some?
-Sit down. -Sit down.
Actually, Auntie, that David Jones lie was my idea.
-Earlier, Shikha just-- -Don't take her bullet.
Whatever you want to say, just tell me directly, Mom.
-Just do it. -Is that so?
-What's my equity? -What?
-Means? -Means,
if I make a payment that turns your lie into a truth,
what will I get in return?
Mom, stop joking about it.
We don't have time to kid around.
I am not kidding.
I am just being honest.
Dear, I was never against business.
Shikha, there is a huge difference between you and your dad.
Your dad just knew how to make beer…
but not how to sell it.
-So what you are trying to say is… -I am in.
I will repay his loan.
Because of your dad's passion,
I have been repaying our loan for the past eight years anyway.
Our condition wasn't so bad.
-You just keep over-dramatizing it. -I am not over-dramatizing it.
Shikha, I worked really hard
so that you guys could never know the actual condition of our house.
Shikha, you know me.
But you've never tried to understand me.
Had you done that, maybe we would have been friends too.
Mom.
Partners?
Okay. I am coming.
Come on.
The mind drifts in the trap of wires
Where do the eyes get their signals from?
Plans of the mind, strength of the team
Where does the light Of knowledge rise from?
Talks now travel block to block
Rule the game Become the boss
What spell was cast, what mantra shocked
The brain's wires go into short circuit
Hey What have you done?
You played a scheme Got everyone tangled in circles
Hey What have you done?
So many are lost in thoughts Just left standing there
Beloved, what have you done?
What do you think?
Yes. Nice touch.
Yes. Thank you.
-Okay. -And action.
At the stroke of the midnight hour, while the world slept…
Dylan.
More mystery.
Less history.
Yeah. Yeah. I get it. I get it.
Yeah. But there should be some drama.
I mean, it shouldn't be one-dimensional.
So what's the conflict in Daniel's life?
David.
Yeah. But I feel more like a Daniel, you know.
-Let's change the name. -No.
-No chance? -No.
No problem.
If we cannot change the name, we can at least add some honor.
-Yes. Of course. -Right, Shikha?
Once again,
I am Anahita. She is Shikha.
Anahita. Shikha.
Dylan, anyway, it's just a matter of one day.
Can we please just stick to the script…
-if that's possible? -Of course. Script. Script.
David Jones. Mentor.
Jugaaro this. Jugaaro that.
Numbers.
Dylan.
David.
Good evening.
David Jones.
Pleasure to meet you, Ms… Mrs…
-Laila Singh. -Ms.
Ms. Laila Singh.
Absolute pleasure meeting you.
Not bad. I felt as if David Jones was right in front of me.
Thank you. Thank you.
-You should have been in films. -Yeah.
Yes. I also wanted that. But…
it isn't possible.
You know, my problem…
I know. Nepotism. I understand.
Sorry…
Bobby.
-Yeah. You can keep going. -Yes, Bobby.
Laila's on board for Monday.
Yeah. Okay. Thanks.
Yeah.
-You can keep that. -Shakes.
-Yes? -Meeting with Laila.
Confirmed for Monday.
-Confirmed? -Confirmed.
We got this?
They've been showing the same plane on TV for the past half hour.
Who has the remote?
So, Dylan, shall we discuss the flow of the pitch one final time?
Yes.
So, first, we start with brand history.
Followed by the business plan.
-Target demographics. After that… -If there is anything related to numbers,
just-- just pass it on to us.
-Sure. Sure. -But, Laila…
-Anything related to Laila… -Who is Laila?
Very funny.
I am sorry.
Can we do a recap once?
Laila Singh.
The person we are flying down to meet with.
Of course. Of course.
I know. Sorry.
Auntie Laila. Yes.
Your comic timing is just next level.
Sorry. Sorry.
So because of Jugaaro's unique and refreshing flavor…
Jugaaro…
-Jugaaro… -Jugaaro, Dylan. Our beer.
Where did the beer come from?
That's it, buddy.
Now my head is spinning.
I am sorry. Really.
It happens… My condition…
Condition?
Yes.
Just like it happened during the play.
What happened?
You watched the play, didn't you?
Oh, God.
You don't know.
You guys said you watched the play.
Dylan, don't beat around the bush.
Explain it properly. What happened?
My memory condition.
-What memory condition? -What memory condition?
I wish…
-lovers… -lovers…
"would go to the border with bombs and ammunition."
…would go to the border with bombs and ammunition.
I wish that soldiers would lie down on the terrace,
and count stars, and weave beautiful dreams.
"I wish…"
-Whose phone is it? -Oh, man!
-Go home and answer the call! -The insurance guy is calling.
I wish…
"Lines drawn on a person's hands."
Hello. Hello.
Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water
And God knows what they did out there
And came back with a daughter
To be, or not to be,
that is the question.
Look. There is no need to panic.
Once short-term memory changes into long-term memory, so…
-no issues. -Our meeting is in one hour.
Short-term won't change into long-term in one hour. So…
Can we postpone the meeting?
Oh, Lord… Help me…
-Relax. -Don't stress.
-Please, relax. -Relax.
Don't stress.
Don't stress. Please don't stress.
They don't call me the emperor of improv just like that.
Do one thing. Drink water, Shikha.
Shikha is my name!
It was such an important thing. Why didn't you tell us before?
I did tell you.
I remember.
You don't?
I asked you whether you watched the play.
You said, "Everything is okay.
Your problems are now our problems."
I also thought everything was okay.
How do you remember that?
Look. Acting is not only about dialogues.
Look at Chaplin.
Charlie Chaplin…
Oh, wow. This reclines, too?
Nice.
You should have told me before.
Please don't worry. I have a foolproof system.
I make notes. I stick posters and labels.
I use an earpiece.
My peripheral vision is great.
-That won't work. -I can read cue cards from off the stage.
So you know, if God takes one thing, he gives another.
Have faith in God.
You guys have saved my house. I will save you guys.
Stage is a different thing, Dylan.
You have a 20-foot distance from the audience.
We will get caught, Shakes.
What do you remember, Dylan? You must remember something.
-Yes. My name is Dylan… -What is your name on this job?
David.
Okay.
David Johnson.
We are screwed. We are screwed, Shakes…
Panicking won't solve anything!
Okay. Let's find another David Jones. Drama club?
-Good idea. -Okay.
But first, let's cancel the meeting.
-Girls. Girls. -What?
No…
The phone.
Bobby.
Yes. Tell me, Bobby.
Shikha, listen.
She…
O Laila
What the…
Laila has already reached the office.
Oh, Lord. Laila… Oh, God, please.
-We will do it. We can do it. -Lord, please…
-Hold on. Hold on. -We can do it! What?
Who is Laila?
What? Laila?
