(poignant music)
(rain showers)
(car's door closes)
(poignant music)
(Charu) Enough.
(Charu) I have tolerated and wept enough.
(Charu) Not anymore.
(Charu) Now, I will have to seize my right,
my place, and my dreams.
(Title song)
j& In intentions, there's obsession j&
j& In emotions, there's obsession j&
j& Obsession j&
j& Pure Obsession! j&
(Charu) Guys. This is for Pride Fest. Some more energy!
(Charu) 1, 2, 3... go!
j& You've brought with yourself j&
j& Endless Rays of hope j&
j& An unheard melody j&
- j& That has mesmerised our world j& - Okay, stop.
SRK, very nice.
Just on the word 'new', try some movement.
Maybe you can do...
j& New dawn. j&
(Charu) Yeah.
- (Charu) That will work. Okay. - (footsteps)
What is going on here?
(Charu) Practice for Pride Fest.
(Gagan) Pride fest?
Why is my choir rehearsing for Pride fest?
And didn't I assign these lead parts to Bikram and Swati?!
(Charu) Yeah, Gagan, but that decision was for the GOATs performance
and this song we are preparing for Pride Fest.
Adah and SRK's voices are more suited for this track,
so I gave the lead parts to them.
(Gagan) And you didn't think
you should have discussed the Pride Fest thing with me?
I had a plan--
As a vocal coach, it is my job to pick the lead singers.
And who picked you?
Change of plan,
change of song.
We will now rehearse on the Kashmiri folk song 'Hukus Bukus'.
(Gagan) Our focus should be on GOATs,
not these distractions.
Okay?
(footsteps)
They will still be the lead singers, no changes there.
(suspenseful music)
All right!
Why don't we decide the lead singers on merit?
2 hours, you'll have 2 hours to prepare the song.
Gear up!
(footsteps)
(door opens)
(Sebi) I don't know, ma'am. I have no idea about these papers.
We cannot take our privileges for granted.
(Dean) You have till afternoon to think about it.
Pearl.
(Dean) Sebi, you may go.
All okay, aunty?
How many times have I told you, I am not your aunt in college?
(Dean) And how many times have I said to avoid conflict?
But you seem to have a problem with your listening.
I know you are the mentor of the Misfits.
I only agreed to help them with logistics and all.
(Dean) Hmm.
I did not stop you; I thought it'll be a good distraction for you,
(Dean) but let me be straight.
I checked the staff room logins.
(Dean) When Professor Dutt's papers went missing,
you were the only one in the staff room during those 15 minutes.
(Dean) And that too two hours after your last class.
Now, I have not told this to Prof. Dutt
because I know you did it to help this boy.
(Dean) My question is, why?
Ma'am...
why would I?
I have no connection to Prof. Dutt or Sebi's papers.
I am just a signature for those kids.
I had left my notes in the staff room that day and...
Because of your actions, this boy is now going to be in trouble
because the Disciplinary Committee will question him.
You both planned this so he that he can perform at the Christmas gala.
Either you confess or the committee will do its thing.
Either way one of you will have to take the fall.
Sebi deserves to get what he has worked so hard for.
He is passionate about Misfits
because he wants to create a legacy.
Not just for himself, but for this college.
(Kush) How are you, bro?
(Kush) Aunty said you have not been eating well lately.
(Kush) What is wrong?
We all miss her, Tuzi.
She broke her promise.
She abandoned me.
No, Tuzi, you are not abandoned. We are all here for you.
Yeah, and if you don't feel like coming to college, that's OK,
but at least come to the warehouse.
Come for rehearsals.
We are all working on a new piece of choreography.
(Kush) And you know what, Pearl is our new choreographer.
(Kush) Jasmeet was so happy...
Without Ta, life feels pointless, Kush.
And you are telling me to come dance?
Take your time.
Come when you are ready.
Why don't we do anything?
We don't learn.
We lost our friend, Shona,
just because she never felt safe.
She never found that space.
And we just keep going on with life as if nothing needs to change.
What can we change?
I also don't know exactly what,
but we need to create an eco-system,
where people feel comfortable discussing their mental health.
We need to move beyond just #positivity,
and take actionable steps.
Hey, student elections are coming up!
We can create the system we want through that.
Talk to Ashutosh.
He is going to get elected as President this time for sure.
But will he listen?
It is worth trying.
(motorbike starts)
(Gagan) Guys, take it from the top.
(peppy music)
j& My wandering heart beats to the rhythm j&
j& Echoing in my heartbeat is the madness of this melody j&
j& I shall fill the unwritten pages of my destiny j&
j& I own the world, I will seize my destiny j&
j& Who are you, and who am I? j&
j& Tell me, who is the creator? j&
j& I breathe in and out j&
j& And experience the divine j&
j& I become one with God j&
j& Transform this discord into harmony, my friend j&
j& Light up the path with vibrant hues and music, friend j&
j& Who knows, where we are headed j&
j& Then why be elusive, when your story resonates in every note j&
j& A face vanished and now dreams are guarded by fear j&
j& It flew away, soaring, soaring, and vanished j&
j& Who are you, and who am I? j&
j& Tell me, who is the creator? j&
j& I breathe in and out j&
j& And experience the divine j&
j& I become one with God j&
j& A spectacle of desires j&
j& What kind of spectacle is this j&
j& This spectacle unfolds every passing moment j&
j& Why this spectacle, after all j&
j& This Spectacle j&
j& Yes, indeed! j&
j& This Spectacle j&
j& Who are you, and who am I? j&
j& Tell me, who is the creator? j&
j& I breathe in and out j&
j& And experience the divine j&
j& Who are you, and who am I? j&
j& Tell me, who is the creator? j&
j& Who are you, and who am I? j&
j& Tell me, who is the creator? j&
j& Who are you, and who am I? j&
j& Tell me, who is the creator? j&
j& I breathe in and out j&
j& And experience the divine j&
j& I breathe in and out j&
j& And experience the divine j&
Bikram, Swati, well done.
(Gagan) SRK, Adah could not control their breath.
Need I say more?
(door opens)
Good morning, Sir. Ma'am.
(chair creaks)
Settled?
Have you thought about what I said?
Yes ma'am, but I am genuinely not taking my privileges for granted.
(Sebi) I really have nothing to tell you...
You're in Mrs. Dutt's Political Science class, right?
(Committee member 1) You must know her papers were stolen recently.
I do not know anything about the theft.
Four students failed that exam,
(Committee member 2) and you are the only one who failed thrice.
What happened to the papers, Subhash?
Honestly, I do not know.
All I know is that our exam results were cancelled,
and now everyone must retake the test... that is all.
And if it were not cancelled,
you would not have been able to perform at Christmas Gala.
I must say, you're a very lucky young man.
Ma'am, for that, I...
Sit Down!
Sorry, ma'am.
I really cannot do such a thing.
(Sebi) I am not that kind of a person.
When I found out that I have failed, I went to my crew
and told them that I won't be able to perform.
I asked them to prepare without me.
We were working on a formation that did not include me.
If you do not believe me, ask Pearl ma'am.
Pearl? Isn't she just the admin support for your group?
(Sebi) No, ma'am.
Pearl is very involved; she supports us in everything.
She is also doing our choreography now.
She knows what happened.
You can ask her.
Mumma, you used to stay awake ALL NIGHT and sing songs?!
Yes, my love. Your mother was the life of every party.
And you know what her nickname was in college?
She doesn't need to know that!
Okay, enough college stories for now.
Party pooper.
Thank you.
No, Gagan uncle, I want to hear more stories.
Done.
One night, she decided that...
We've almost reached Gagan uncle's house anyway.
And he has rehearsals early morning,
(sighs)
which I am sure he does not want to miss, right?
Yup, sorry. True that.
- Ok? - Why can't he go for rehearsals
from our home?
(grunts)
Driver, take a left ahead.
Why can't he stay with us?
Bro, that is a good strategy!
Let me think about it...
We can have a confession hour at every party
where people can confess their feelings after getting drunk,
you know, to clear their minds.
No no... that is not what I meant...
I know what you think.
Let us take it up a notch -
we will introduce a weekly Happiness Day in college.
Every week we will call a stand-up comic.
He will entertain people, relieve stress, and spread joy.
You know, a fun activity!
No, Ashutosh. We need permanent initiatives.
Not these gimmicks.
So, you are saying I should let go of festivals, events, parties,
and focus on students' mental health?
(laughs)
(male 1) He must be joking?
How many students are struggling with mental health?
1-2% of our college, maybe?
Kush, you are new, you won't understand.
Elections are won by majority, not by these petty issues.
Got it?
Yes. I have understood everything now. Thanks, man.
(gives high-five)
This guy is too emotional, man. (chuckles)
Come on.
Buckle up!
No matter how hard I work, I get no followers, no opportunities.
You think Swati was selected because of her followers?
It was not because of her talent for sure.
You know, I feel like, I should just quit.
What is the point anyway?
It is not like that, Adah.
The song just suits her voice better, that is all!
Are you serious?
You are taking Gagan and Swati's side too? Really?
I am not taking his side
I am just saying the song suits Swati's voice better. That's all.
You think I would side by the man who almost derailed my career?
Oh, by the way, about that...
how was the recording with Dad?
It was fine... but I do not think I will get a callback
Anyway, get the idea of quitting out of your head.
You are an extremely talented singer.
Do not let this egoistic man tell you otherwise. Okay?
You are right.
I was actually thinking, how did he stay back so easily?
What do you mean?
He is a Grammy-winning musician, super popular.
Till the day before Founder's Day,
he was doing international concerts almost every week.
And then suddenly, he just decided to stay,
that too for an entire year?
I am sure he had prior commitments, right?
And it is quite difficult to get out of those. Legally speaking?
Anyway, let's go.
Yeah...
(door opens)
(cheery music)
(dynamic music)
Interesting!
