[Title Montage]
We can treat the physical injuries which we can see.
People are very sympathetic.
Doctors, hospitals, physiotherapy, rest,
we prioritize whatever we want.
But what about emotional trauma?
Heartbreak?
The pain of losing someone?
These are scars which can't be seen by the naked eye.
Sometimes the person is right in front of you
and you don't see the pain that he feels.
Healing requires help.
And to ask for that help, it requires a lot of courage.
But, first one needs to accept the fact
that he's broken.
[Smooching]
[Girl moaning]
[Cell phone vibrating]
Who is Ishavni?
It's none of your business.
By the way, I've called you a cab. It will be here.
[Door opens]
- Leave? - What?
We're done, bye.
Please, go, go, go.
Go, go, leave.
- Thank you. Shut the door. - What the f**k, man!
What the hell.
What did I do?
Open the door.
Hello. Listen.
[Turns up the volume]
F**k off, b*****d.
[Car honking, tires screeching]
[Door opens]
[Door closes]
Hey... can't you see the girl coming?
Come out. Come out.
- [Door opens] - Come out.
Come out, you rascal.
[Man] Alina says breathe.
Take long, deep breath.
But I just can't stop.
Rage! Uncontrollable rage.
To an extent where I can feel the veins in my brains exploding.
This often happens with me
which is why Alina tells me to count till 10.
My mind starts counting, but my hands still keep working.
Alina says that I have PTSD.
PTSD meaning Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Symptoms, uncontrollable rage.
And, Alina is not my shrink, she's my wife.
Alina says that this often happens after an extreme tragedy.
After some kind of tragedy.
Or some violent incident.
PTSD symptom 2; hallucination.
- [Door opens, closes] - He says that I am broken.
I've been put back together by reassembling broken pieces.
[Door opens]
But, even that is a temporary fix.
Maybe that's why I keep falling apart over and over again.
PTSD symptom 3; No Human contact.
My best friend is my wife's cat.
[Cell phone vibrating]
Ishavni, man.
Veer. Veer, you've been missing for a week.
- Shit! - And not answering my calls either.
- Veer. - F**k.
Veer.
Hello, Ishavni, I can't hear you. Hello.
- I know that... - What? Can you hear me?
- Veer. - Hello.
[Cell phone beeps]
Stupid, idiot.
- [Smooching] - [Both moaning]
[Veer] PTSD symptom 4; Emotional unavailability.
Sex is a disconnected activity.
And I believe, why should it be anything more.
Alina is very judgmental,
but
as usual, she is also right.
So...
was it a super evening?
Extremely mediocre.
[Sighs]
Actually, you're responsible for it.
You're the one who spoiled me.
Nobody matches up to you. Seriously, you spoiled me for everyone.
Veer.
[Exhales]
It's been three years.
Who are you waiting for?
And, how long are you going to be so stubborn?
[Claps]
Time Out.
People use headphones to listen to music.
Yes. And I use it to block out other people. Do you have a problem?
You know, this behavior of yours is completely crazy.
Oh please, stop nagging.
Does love come with an expiry date?
Was our love supposed to last for only three years?
No, Veer.
Love doesn't come with an expiry date
but people do.
- [Cell phone vibrating] - Don't get there.
Just, don't get there.
And is your sister crazy, why does she keeps calling me so many times?
[Alina] She cares.
You even have my house keys.
Yes, I have the keys
because I knew I would need it.
That's why I got another set made many years ago.
Because, you cannot be trusted, you crazy moron.
- What did I do? - What did you do tonight?
You beat up a man.
Just because Adil is a lawyer that doesn't mean
you just stack up pre-crimes, man. Okay.
Hello, hello, one minute.
Just because you're pregnant doesn't mean you can say anything you want.
I am pregnant, I've raging hormones,
this parasite of a baby that's inside me
has sucked all the calcium out of my bones.
And yet, this baby and this pregnancy haven't troubled
as much as you did.
I was going to call you.
- When? - Just now.
You didn't call me for a week.
And you haven't been to the office for four days.
Because I don't need to go to work, I can work from home.
Weren't you an investment banker?
You wouldn't come home for days in a row.
And, what do you do now?
I am a consultant. And, I've loads of money, I don't need to work.
Which normal man says that I have loads of money?
Someone who is not greedy.
Sit. Feel at home.
- Sit. - Literally...
[Sighs]
You need some normalcy in your life.
Since the day of the accident, you've only been punishing yourself.
That's the problem with you and your sister.
You two come up with your own theories.
I am worried about you, Veer.
You still talk to Alina.
You're in a relationship with a dead woman.
You don't need to remind me that Alina is dead, I know that.
And yet you talk to her the most.
You don't have any friends, and you avoid people.
And, you never answer my calls.
Hello, FYI, I am just coming back from a date, okay?
Oh.
What was her name?
Name? Just a second.
You can't remember, can you?
I do, I do...
What does she do?
She... she is doing that...
[Ishavni] Doing what?
She is a...
- What was she wearing? - Nothing.
These meaningless one-night stands.
You've gone on a self-destructive mode.
As soon as you feel any sense of commitment, you just avoid everyone.
Come on.
Alina was my sister.
She is not there anymore.
Do you realize that?
You stay in this half-constructed house. Why?
- Because I like it. - No.
Because Alina started working on it, that's why.
You're holding on to your past.
[Veer] I brought them, three clients, single-handedly.
Do you know what that means?
I am on the fast-track to becoming the VP now.
Just hope it happens soon.
Fantastic. Congratulations.
That's it.
Such a cold reaction. Do you know what it means?
- [Cell phone ringing] - Our future...
- I have to take this call. - [Line disconnects]
Alina, what?
We'll paint murals on our wall.
Are you serious?
And the doors will be normal doors. I'll keep bookshelves on that.
It will look much better like that.
Are you even listening, Veer?
Yes. Why did you disconnect the call? It was from the office.
- I knew it. - What?
- You're never there. - Please.
No, seriously.
Everything begins from your work.
It starts and ends with your work.
It's all about the future. What about today?
You know what, I have a problem with your wild child attitude.
Live in the moment, live in today.
If we don't plan for the future, then what will we do?
- Don't I have a say in our lives? - Did I say that?
- You are saying that? - Stop yelling. Stop yelling.
- You stop yelling. - Oh, please.
Are you PMSing today?
- Stop the car. - Oh please, I am not.
- I said stop the car. - Stop yelling.
Why are you... What are you doing?
- Put the seatbelt back on. - Stop it.
- Put your seat belt again... - Veer.
[Car honking, tires screeching]
[Glass shattering]
[Car alarm]
[Ishavni] If you don't want to do it for yourself
you don't want to do it myself
then do it for Alina.
Let her go, Veer.
Come on.
Alina was my sister too.
You've turned this house into a tomb of her memorial.
You don't let me help you.
This way you'll soon end up in a mental asylum.
[Crying] And I won't be able to help you.
And now look at me, I am crying.
What... what is this? Why are you crying? Don't...
- It's all because of you. - No, please.
Please don't cry.
You were yelling at me one minute, and now
you're sending me on a guilt trip.
You can't be the good cop and the bad cop both at the same time.
[Screaming]
Alina bought this. Are you crazy? It will break.
You've gone mad.
You've lost it.
Totally lost it.
[Snoring]
Rascal, you're just like the Police in Hindi films.
Coming after everything is over.
[Bottles tinkling]
She scares me too, man.
But she is right.
You need to move out.
This is the third notice, and the building is going for redevelopment.
We'll get a stay on the redevelopment.
Veer... sooner or later you'll have to leave this place.
And listen, Ishavni has the keys to this house.
But only you will have the keys to your new home.
[Laughs]
She.
Your wife, she will get a set of my new house as well.
That will take at least a couple of months.
Her key maker is out of town.
Great, you know your wife's modus operandi so well.
I know what you're doing.
What?
Changing the topic.
The eviction notice is for two days later.
Two days?
How will I find a house so soon?
Your cousin Kartik is selling his home. Talk to him.
[Cell phone ringing]
- Hello. - [Kartik] Hi.
To what do I owe this call today? All okay?
Uh...
You say you're selling your home, aren't you?
Yeah.
Do you want it?
The papers are ready.
You seem to be in a hurry.
Any problem with the place.
No, the place is perfect.
The problem is that psycho-ex mayor.
She isn't ready to let go.
[Sniggering]
I've said it a couple of times that it's over, but...
So I am leaving instead.
Great.
Your love isn't ready to leave
and mine doesn't come back.
Sorry, I missed it.
What?
Nothing.
You...
Okay, done deal. Done deal.
- Send me the documents. - Okay.
[Kartik] Keep that here.
Where's the big one?
Bring it.
Thank you.
Papers and NOC.
What's the hurry?
The society is a chill place. We'll do it later.
Any problem?
No.
How can I move in without the papers?
Let me know if your lawyer is busy.
- I'll talk to Adil. - No.
Actually, there's a small thing to take care of.
I co-own this house with my ex.
My psycho-ex.
So I need her signatures on the papers as well.
I just need to talk to her.
Once I do that, it's done. It's...
And you're telling me this now. After I moved in.
Don't worry, man.
Well...
Keep these papers.
For your peace of mind.
My signatures are on it.
I'll get her signatures as well.
I promise.
Okay.
But just one week, after that I am out.
You're not going anywhere.
Welcome.
Thank you.
- Call me if you need anything. - Sure.
- See you. - See you.
[Door opens, closes]
Alina.
[Veer] Alina is gone.
Because my dead wife no longer talks to me.
And I can't see her either.
Alina.
I am sad. I am normal.
And I think sad is the new normal.
[Dog barking]
- [Door opens] - Hey, Mrs. Robinson.
Mr. Robinson, come on.
Hey, doggy... shoo...
Whose doggy is he? Hello.
Shut up.
Whose doggy is he? Take him back. I am managing two dogs.
- [Dog barking] - Shoo...
Come inside.
Shoo doggy...
Mad dog.
[Door closes]
[Cell phone vibrating]
Um...
Sandy, right?
I am Lavina.
Tinder.
Hi.
- Hi. - I am drinking?
Vodka?
One vodka for the lady, please.
Thank you.
- Cheers! - [Glasses tinkling]
Your photos are quite misleading.
You're very handsome in real life.
No, actually the lighting here is pretty good.
[Sandy] Hi, Lavina.
I am Sandy.
- Uh... - We were chatting on Tinder.
You lied to me.
Thank you so much.
Lavina, who?
Shit!
[Lavina laughs]
[Thundering]
[Door opens]
Lavina.
Veer... there's someone in your house.
What?
Yes, I can hear someone.
Alina.
- Alina. - Who?
- Alina. - Kartik.
- Who are you? - Who. are you?
