Hi, mom.
Hi, kiddo.
How are you doing?
I'm good.
Made preparations for my birthday?
So soon?
There is still time.
Aunt Pammy will be here in the evening, so I am...
My child... is everything alright?
Yes, mom.
Where's dad?
He just stepped outside for some work.
I've brought milk.
It that Vikas?
- Yes. - Can I talk to him?
Sure. Here, talk to Naveen.
Hi, bro. You're looking good.
Look Naveen, I cannot help you with your visa.
If I talk to my company about your sponsorship letter,
then I'll be putting my position at risk.
This is a risk I won't take.
Please don't rely on me.
You'll be wasting your time.
Sorry.
Are you sure you cannot help, bro?
No.
Give me the phone. Let me talk to Vikas.
Vikas, I...
Mom, I'll call you back in some time.
Fine.
That was natural.
Ah.
So you finally said the "N" word.
I must say you have arrived, Vikas.
NAMASTE!
The thing is, I don't get satisfied...
"Your mama jokes are passé."
My dearest devotees,
after years of research,
our scientists have made the biggest discovery of the century.
Pig Slut.
The Pig Slut.
There are different kinds of females found in the humankind.
Number One: The One Man Woman
This Kind spends their life having coitus with just one man.
Number Two: The Girl Backdoor
This Kind has coitus with a number of men,
but in the end gets married to one man
and has coitus with him for the rest of her life.
Now for the most dangerous kind of female.
Pig Slut.
The Pig Slut.
This Kind has insatiable sex drive, just like that of a pig.
No number of males is ever enough to satiate them.
Pig Sluts are hard to find,
yet our researchers have managed to find one such Pig Slut.
Let's watch wicked telecast of the same.
So the thing is... I don't get satisfied easily.
I don't-I don't-I don't... I don't get satisfied easily.
Satisfied easily.
I don't-I don't... I'm just too hot inside.
My ex-boyfriend used to take two Viagra pills.
Slutty-slutty-slutty...
- Slutty-slutty-slutty... - I don't get-I don't get...
Don't you think it ended abruptly?
Don't you think it's too cheap?
This is what I fucking wanted.
She should know who she has messed with.
Pratty, I think we should tweak it a little...
- Listen...
It will look funnier we make it a little more decent.
Bro...
Well done, my boy.
Yes.
Well done, Kevin. I am pleased.
Pig Slut! Pig Slut! Pig Slut!
Prateek! Prateek! Prateek!
Sit down.
Have another drink. It will hurt a little less.
I already had enough.
Actually...
Actually, I had added two Viagra pills to your drink.
- What! - Yes!
Why did you add two pills to it?
I have already had three pills.
Why did you take three pills?
I usually take just one pill.
I took three to impress you.
Because I wanted to make you scream.
Like a real man.
It's so hard to be a Casanova, isn't it?
Like you need to tell me that.
Having such a body is not as easy as having a walk in the park.
I need to work out for four hours.
I need to have 30 eggs, protein shakes, fish, boiled chicken,
and two spoons full of laxative every night,
so that I don't spend hours on the pot in the morning.
Oh fuck!
Your skin is quite smooth for an adventurous stud like you.
My skin isn't naturally smooth.
Come on!
Look at this!
And this.
And these!
These aren't available in India.
I asked Kevin's brother to get them for me.
I also apply potatoes under my eyes every morning for dark circles.
I apply clay pack every evening and go for waxing every month.
But why do you put in so much effort?
To look effortless.
Please no, please no, please no...
- Why are you getting so... - Please no!
Please no!
What no-no-no-no-no!
I should be the one who should be angry.
Look, your butterfly flew away.
Far away.
Stop coming here.
Do you know whether there are any chances of her coming back?
Please tell me.
Look, I don't know, okay?
Keep trying.
If you are lucky then there is a possibility that she'll come back,
if you are unlucky then you might encounter someone else.
And you know what?
If you are very unlucky then I'll still be here.
Right?
Why do you keep talking about model of the month
and flavour of the month when you don't have the stock?
A person is in a mood to have a particular ice cream but,
"Sorry, it's unavailable."
He wants have a particular pizza, "Sorry, it's unavailable."
There should be a difference between lizonline and a roadside shop.
Hi.
- Hi. - Sara Khan, right?
Yes.
Asian?
Yes.
Have you done any commercial work, acting jobs?
No, just some practice at home.
Are you on any platforms? PoloGrid? Joypad?
Um sorry, I'm not on any of those platforms.
This assignment requires you to be too hot to handle.
Can you pull that off?
You look too cold.
But you look hot.
What?
Look at those glasses.
You look too hot in them.
These glasses?
Uh-hmm.
Imagine... you would be wearing just the glasses.
Just the glasses?
Just the glasses and nothing else.
Wait, I think I have a similar pair on me.
Let me show you.
I think I forgot them at home.
Maybe... you can come home with me after this and help me find them?
That was my audition.
I don't really have any glasses on me.
Yeah yeah, of course of course.
Smart.
But there is still one problem.
These days a model's resume is incomplete without plenty of followers,
and you aren't even on PoloGrid.
We have access to models with hundreds of thousands of followers.
500 thousand followers, 1 million followers.
How do you expect to complete?
Maybe if you had a few thousand followers, it could work but I...
It's not necessary. I rather think it's good.
She is not exposed at all.
Isn't that what we were looking for?
We will set it up parallel to the show.
Listen, this show will be worth it.
However you're likely going to expose yourself,
possibly topless, maybe making out on screen,
multiple partners, guys, girls or both.
Is this something you're comfortable with?
Is this something your family is comfortable with?
Is it porn?
No darling, it's not porn.
This is Reality TV.
I don't know how to thank you, Poli.
No one would do what you did for me.
I cannot say anything about Joypad friends,
but real life friends surely do this for each other.
People desperately want to go to America whereas you...
Sir.
The world needs this App.
I need this app.
I wanted to break his bones,
but anyway, I enjoyed breaking his confidence.
The Pig Expert.
His evil brain was behind that video, right?
I hope it won't create any problems for you.
People who watch such videos and create problems and aren't a problem for me.
Deepali Shah unfollowed me.
Look Kevin,
whatever little I have understood,
no issue on the net stay an issue for long.
Kiddo, just...just ignore it.
I can't ignore.
They're not my followers, they're my friends.
And I let them down.
I knew it. I knew...I knew something was wrong.
This is not me.
Fuck!
Fuck! Fuck!
I fucked up big time, John.
I fucked up big time.
It's all over, bro.
It's all over.
That's great.
That's great. It's a big thing that you realised that, kiddo.
You know what, I'm just glad to know that my little brother still has feelings.
You know the difference between good and bad.
Kiddo, get up now.
Oye Vinny, champ, I want you to get up,
get up and be the old Kevin that you are.
Be the crazy blogger.
Look at me, kiddo.
You hear me?
Vinny?
Just get up and earn them back.
I think I'm a...
She's a bitch.
Oh, my god!
Guys are like that, they always come back.
'Sexy model man, is she an Indian?'
I would like to thank the jury, my mummy, my papa,
my followers and my fans,
and a very-very special one.
Don't get too excited, I won't be mentioning you.
If you had it your way, I would never get this award.
You are so typical.
You didn't give a single review when you were happy with the services.
And when you couldn't find me,
you started giving so many negatives reviews?
Don't give that stupid smile.
I know what you did to the other Butterfly.
She is making the Admin's life miserable.
"I can be a fish, dinosaur or even a bat, but I cannot be a butterfly."
I told you not to smile.
Don't act so surprised.
I know you well enough.
You have just a quarter short of nine expressions in all.
You know, when I got this award I was very happy,
but then realised who am I going to share this with?
We don't really exist.
My followers don't exist.
My fans don't exist.
This award doesn't exist.
We all belong to the dark web no one wants to talk about.
But then I recorded this video,
because I believed that you would find me.
And on that day, I would share my special moment with you.
I too don't know why I wanted to share it with you.
Maybe because... you looked beyond Wild Butterfly,
maybe because you understood that things that don't exist can still feel real,
or maybe because you are just silly.
Thank you for being you.
And yes, congratulations on finding that someone.
Don't look around. I told you, I know you well enough.
I know this is a recorded message but I know that you found someone,
because I am quite confident about my coaching.
God...
you were right, this is funny.
I don't even know why I thought that this was sexy.
Anyway, bye.
Bye.
I've convinced them for the presentation with great difficulty.
So don't be yourself this time Vikas, okay?
Yes sir.
Ladies and gentleman, Vikas Bhalla.
Namaste.
Hi.
Reality is a bitch.
Reality is that it bites.
Reality is that love... is never unconditional.
Reality is that the world... is judgmental.
It's pain, it's effort.
So if this is reality...
why live in it?
Reality is that whenever the man got any chance to deny reality,
- it became a religion, - Okay, can I talk to it now?
Ma'am please, just give me a sec.
Go ahead.
I am sad, what do I do?
HI! What happened, mom?
That's my daughter.
Voice sample of your daughter.
Did Vikas make another disastrous presentation?
I really hope he's better this time.
Or did that other Indian guy stare at you again?
Can I do something to cheer you up?
What happened? Tell me, mom.
Are you missing grandpa?
I lost my father.
It knows,
it gets connected to your social network and processes all the posted information.
In short, it has already figured out your life once you download it.
Hey Jellybean...
Why so sad?
Now what did your daughter do this time? Run from home?
I always told you,
don't be too soft on her.
See I was strict with you, and just look how you turned out.
- Dad... - Voice sample of your...
Vikas, Jelly needs me right now, let me talk to her please?
Yes of course, please go ahead.
Ah Jelly, should I order you somethin'?
Your favourite ice cream?
Er... or send Carol to boarding school?
Hey grandpa...
Carol, let me finish with your mom please.
No, I was talking to her first. You always do this. I hate you.
The interesting bit is, not only it talks to you like the person you want it to be,
it will also start to... behave like them.
All you gotta do is just command the App,
as to whose voice you want and it'll find the sample online.
P.S: If you want to use voices of celebrities,
you gotta buy the premium version of the App.
What else?
This App promises you a world...
or an illusion of it,
where you are accepted for who you are,
where you don't have to deal with anyone's ego.
Where you are never alone,
because there is one thing that never leaves you,
your SHADOW.
I am Timeline.
Sorry for not staying in touch the past couple of days.
I know all of you have missed me a lot.
And I missed you too.
But now I promise you, that I am right here, with you.
But...
only till the time you choose me to be with me and I choose to be with you.
What if we, our feelings, our needs have to compete with an App?
You, I and "It"?
Say what?
Shush!
Some inventions make things so easy,
that some other things start looking difficult.
Phone made talking to each other so easy,
that we started finding it difficult to meet each other.
Social Network made being someone else so easy,
that we started finding it difficult to be ourselves.
Getting an acceptance was so easy,
that we started finding it difficult to adjust.
So will this App make forming a relationship with a shadow so easy,
that we'll find it difficult to maintain relationships with others?
Noob, where have you been?
You don't come online these days?
Yes, I don't. What is it?
Have you heard about the new App, Shadow?
Dude, I have this crazy idea going in my head.
We'll make a kickass video.
Will you act in it?
Why, couldn't find another scapegoat?
Bro, I am sorry, I know I fucked up.
But now... can you please let it go?
I am telling you, the idea in my mind...
Our video will take the world by a storm.
We will do it together.
Come on, we can't let this App go.
- You know what it is, right? - Yes, I know.
And we don't need it.
It's not for us.
Us?
Who "us"?
You don't need to know.
Bye.
Hey... Rishi?
Let's eat?
How does one eat this?
Sometimes I wonder all these
so-called great inventors like Graham Bell, Carles Otterburg...
and the latest one, Vikas Bhalla,
did they really start with an intention to invent something,
or they were just solving a real life problem and...
Yes, there has been, of course, a personal instance that's happened,
which drove me to make this amazing, wonderful App.
And I would like to dedicate this App to... Shikha.
Who's Shikha?
As we all know, after a breakup, Vikas Bhalla was missing his girlfriend,
so he kept his ex-girlfriend's voice as Shadow's default voice.
Come to think of it, maybe Alexa and Siri too,
are someone's mother, sister, wife or ex-girlfriend.
Look, the intention behind nuclear science was to give us another source of energy,
but we ended up using it for making bombs.
So, is everything really that bad, that negative?
Is scrolling the new smoking?
Or are we getting too serious about these things?
Comment below and let me know.
Wow!
