Birthdays are so overrated.
What are we even celebrating here?
That we are growing older?
And the world is just waiting for us to arrive?
I'm turning 25 and I feel like the world around me is crashing and burning.
The question is,
can I walk through that fire?
Will I make it through to the other side?
La Dolce Vita!
-How are you? -Good.
-Flight was nice? -Yeah, yeah.
Hi.
Your papa and I always wanted to come here together.
Varun!
But now, we are here with Rajan.
Right?
Hi.
Let them say what they want Like I care
I will do whatever I want
A little attraction And then some action

Enough with the formalities
Gimme four more shots please
There's no time to waste now
Gimme four more shots please
Hello ladies and gentlemen!
And the little girl!
Let's begin the treasure hunt.
-All right! -Yes!
When I blow the whistle everyone go and collect all the tiaras you can!
What's the prize?
There's the prize.
Hi everyone.
Hey!
Good to see you.
-Hello, man! How are you? -How are you?!
-Good to see you. -Good to see you.
Excuse me!
Partner selection time.
-Go! -Yes.
Okay…
Rajan.
Sneha.
Mihir.
Sean.
Jeh! You and I in Italy!
You were always the one!
-Damini was just an excuse, right? -Yes.
And the treasure hunt starts now.
Grab your partner, basket and cycle.
Hey Mihir, good luck.
You too, Uncle.
La Dolce Vita!
So you and my mom are friends?
Yup.
And what else?
Well, I'm very fond of your mother.
And the feeling is mutual.
We like each other's company.
How long has it been since your wife died?
Five years.
Yeah.
Well it hasn't been that long for my mom.
I know that.
She needs time on her own.
To be alone,
or to be lonely?
These are two different things.
Look,
she's really vulnerable right now, and I need to protect her.
And I won't expect any less.
I'm trying here, Siddhi.
Could you also please try?
I just wanna be
Forever and always
In your company
Just for a moment
Living our best life
Chasing the blue, blue skies
There's no place I'd rather be
-There's no place I'd rather be -Sean?
You're really into her, aren't you?
Yeah!
Who?
Yeah.
So tell her!
Isn't she into women?
Umang is one of those people who falls in love with a person and
doesn't really care about their gender.
But if she rejects you, don't take it personally.
Sometimes two people
are right for each other and still
they just can't make it work.
You know?
Let's get some tiaras.
There's no place I'd rather be
I found one!
I found one too!
All right!
We are crushing this. Let's look for more.
Go, go, go.
So, hey, congrats!
Moving in and all.
Yeah!
That happened too.
Wow, that's a lot of enthusiasm!
Was I ready?
I don't know.
Any advice?
Bro, you're just moving in, right?
What advice you want?
I got married, had kids, everything.
Without being ready.
And that too twice.
And now I think the second one will end in a divorce as well.
So, yeah man, I'm the king of fucking things up!
Wait.
You think I'm fucking it up for myself?
No man, you…
you're a martyr.
You will die for love, and you won't even say "ouch."
A martyr? Me?
Yeah because you just told me that you got forced into moving in.
Oh, I wasn't forced.
No?
I was bulldozed.
Wow.
That's the harshest thing I've ever heard coming out of your mouth.
Well,
I'm learning from the best.
Me?
Yes.
Oh….
Umang?
All well?
Dude, has it ever happened to you that
someone loves you madly
but you just don't feel the same?
Nope.
The other way around.
To unrequited love.
That's a 20-year vintage Sangiovese.
Sanju who?
This poor thing has been lying neglected for 20 years.
He needs our love.
The guest-list is top brass, Dhananjay.
I just got the confirmations from everyone.
Okay, stay in touch, really excited!
Dee?
Can't you survive without working even for a day?
I dropped all my work to come here.
It's only fair.
Phones off.
Fine.
Okay.
Damini, is this really so hard for you?
You were the one who wanted me to move in.
But since I've moved in,
for some reason, you're unhappy.
I mean….
All I know is that you're in your own world
and I'm constantly pulling you away from it.
Because as hard as I try,
somehow,
I just don't fit in.
Not with you,
not in your world,
not with us,
not in our world.
Jeh, you're overthinking this.
Really.
-Sangiovese! -Sangiovese!
As long as I…
So, we are here.
This place….
Anjana.
May I ask you something?
Yeah, of course.
How did you learn to be single again?
It's been so long….
I don't even know who I am without him.
You know, Sneha?
In my case,
I chose to be single, right.
You didn't.
It's different.
Yeah, I know.
It is different.
It takes time.
But maybe you should…
take the time to find yourself again.
-Dada, I was the one who found that! -Arya!
-Arya, we're in the same team! -Stop throwing tantrums!
-No! -Just put it in the--
Arya, Varun, what are you doing?
These bloody tiaras!
Why can't we all just stay single?
Why are relationships even necessary?
So many expectations.
And even more disappointments.
I mean, take me, for example.
Samara.
Meher.
Pinky.
Before them, no problem.
Only happy.
And now, so many explanations!
Okay, but who needs explanations?
Everybody!
Speaking as an experienced jilted lover.
Siddhi clearly explained to me twice, why she can't be with me.
But I still don't get it.
Maybe because I don't want to?
You just want them to say that they want to be with you
and those are the only words that'll ever work.
There's never any closure.
Is that why you're here?
Because I saw her stand-up.
And you saw how fucked up she is.
And because she asked me to come.
And if there is any meaning in that at all,
I don't want to let that hope go.
Hey!
How are you?
Are you a masochist?
Yeah.
Why do you act like such a do-gooder all the time?
-Don't you get tired? -That's it?
Why don't you troll me some more?
-You can do better. -What the fuck does that even mean?
Well, you're a comic.
An angry comic, apparently.
So roast me.
I could seriously punch you right now.
Then maybe I'll get a reaction from you.
And you're still just standing here and listening.
Don't you ever get angry?
Just-just say something back to me!
Why do you love torturing yourself so much?
Because I still love you.
Love makes your brain stop working.
Just fuck off.
Oh shit!
You're going to break my heart and my bones too?
All okay?
If Viju was here….
he would've seen his little girl become a woman.
Where did my life go?
Nowhere.
What's gone….
is simply a story.
Your life is right here.
Right here, right now.
But there are so many memories, Rajan.
What about your desires?
You have much to live for, Sneha.
Your story…
isn't over yet.
Mom?
Got you!
-What? -One second…
Perfect.
Like the queen that you are.
Was that a pick-up line?
That's my life, man.
Using lines, writing lines.
Plus, well-crafted dialogue is how I won you.
-Did you now? -You know I did.
-Dada! -Yeah?
-I found one! -Oh!
We're winning this, we're winning!
Come on, let's go.
-And the winners are… -Give it to me, quick!
Varun and Jeh!
-Oh! -And me!
-The little girl! -The little girl!
-Yes! -Thanks a lot!
-Where's Siddhi? -I thought she was with you.
Look here. There you go!
Got it!
Thank you.
Alright!
Nice.
Drunk yoga.
Are you…
What's up?
Meher.
I completely understand where she's coming from.
It's hard…
getting over you.
Meaning?
I'm crazy about you, Umang.
You're crazy!
You're just….
Buddy, are you mad?
About you.
-You're crazy! -About--
You've had a little too much to drink.
Not really.
Thanks for fucking up my already fucked head, Sean.
-Thank you. -You're welcome!
I'm sorry.
I don't know what came over me, I….
It's okay.
I have narrow ear canals.
It affects my balance terribly.
-You're wrong. -What?
I was diagnosed by an ENT doctor when I was a child!
About still being in love with me.
You barely know me, Mihir.
What are you saying?
I know you since we were kids, Siddhi-Piddhi.
But we're not kids anymore!
You don't know this me.
Jeh….
Here.
Come.
It's okay, it's okay.
Jeh….
The bed is right there, bubba.
Okay wait, let me go get some water.
The only person I've ever loved.
Jeh….
But maybe you don't love me anymore, Damini.
When did I say that?
You didn't say anything.
I'm left guessing.
Do you not see me, Damini?
Or am I not good enough for you?
Because you are
a great intellectual?
And me, a mere bartender?
I'm just a fucking bartender.
-Happy birthday, Sids! -Happy birthday, Siddhi!
Oh my God!
-Oh my God! -Oh my God!
Oh my God!
This place is unbelievable.
You also cheer up, Sulk Smitha.
Yeah, sure.
In other news,
Sean says that he is crazy about me.
Oh?
I told him that Italy was making him channel his inner Romeo.
Wow. And I thought I was rude.
How do you feel about him?
I don't know.
I mean….
He's a good guy. He's honest, and fit too, but
-But? -I mean,
there's definitely something that I like about him,
but with men, it's like…
I've just never had a meaningful relationship with them
outside of sex.
Like, I don't even know if I can be in a relationship with a man, so….
But Mangs, I think that's….
fine.
Sean is just your close friend, not someone you love.
And, I guess, that's why the confusion.
Just imagine being stuck with dick for the rest of your life.
Actually….
I don't mind being stuck with dick for the rest of my life.
Of course.
Yeah!
Cheers to that.
-Where's your drink? -Wait, don't take my drink.
Salut!
-Hi! -Hi, birthday girl!
Oh partner!
-Cheers! -Thank you!
Watch out for me
What you gonna do, what you gonna do When I come for you
-Let's eat! -Cheers!
What you gonna do, what you gonna do When I come for you
What you gonna do What you gonna do
-Would you like a top up? -Yes please.
-Sean? -Good.
Umang, do you want a top-up?
Everyone, everyone, everyone….
Everyone!
It's my birthday, guys!
-Yeah! -Yes it is!
Okay, okay, okay. Speech.
So, thank you all for coming out.
Really.
Okay, I know that for the last few days
I've been a bit of a sulk-pot but…
you guys are the best!
Okay, I promise that from now on I will try my best
to be that cute, bubbly, cuddly Siddhi again.
Sounds good to me.
Because, you guys, we're in the country of love!
Love, yeah!
So, to….
to all the lovely couples out here.
Dee, Jeh?
You both are looking so hot!
What's wrong?
Why do you look so awkward, guys?
Not really.
Oh shit, still not doing it?
Okay, my Anj.
And Aaru!
Hi! So cute!
Hey, what about me?
You're married. Did you forget about Kavya?
Anj, seriously.
You have got to stop snogging married men!
Siddhi, can you stop?
Mangs! I didn't forget you!
Mangs and Sean.
Guys!
There are so many rooms here, just go for it!
Siddhi, that's quite enough.
That's quite enough, darling.
Mom.
And your non-boyfriend.
That advice was not for you guys. Okay?
Like, just putting it out there.
And Mihir.
My Mihu-Pihu.
No luck this time buddy. Again.
Next time let's try it out in an even more exotic location, okay?
I promise.
So, a very happy birthday to me!
-Happy birthday. -Happy birthday to you.
Yeah!
You really got to get laid, man.
You need to get out of Anj's house, man.
I am happy where I am.
I mean, if you're doling out advice, then give some to Jeh.
He's the one that got bulldozed into moving in.
-Varun. -Excuse me?
Bro?
At least I'm not the one looking for handouts from my partners all the time.
What exactly have you achieved in your life anyway?
I made two smart, beautiful kids.
I swear!
My sperm is of the highest quality, top-class.
-I mean-- -It should be studied!
Speaking of kids,
Sids, you and Mihir would make some beautiful children.
But you're still a child, so I guess that'll never happen.
Go away, man! Go, screw Sean. Go.
And "bubbly" is the new route?
-You have a problem with that? -Yes, I do.
And what's that? No more marriages to wreck?
Now it's a party, guys!
Yeah, let's go!
Happy birthday to me!
Bellissima bellissima!
You and me together make felicita
I have been waiting for you All my life, my love
Come hold my hand And take me high let's go fly
There's something about you That makes me go crazy
When you move your hips Oh Mama Mia
You're right, Siddhi.
I know the childhood Siddhi.
But I know her today still.
I know that you bake the best red velvet cupcakes.
I know that you can do anything for your friends.
And by anything…
I mean anything.
And I know
behind your weird brand of dark humor, you hide your vulnerability.
That you're more instinctive and introspective
than you give yourself credit for.
I know that you're beautiful.
Inside and out. And I know that
you're hurting inside right now, because
you think life forced you to just suddenly grow up one day.
But I do know something else too, Siddhi.
I know that growing up
comes with loss, and pain, and sadness and heartache.
But it also comes with hope.
And love.
All the dreams we had All those tears we shed
Cake!
It's cake time! It's cake time!
Wow!
I'm a mess
Cake Fight!
I'm a mess can't even guess
I'm a mess I confess
I swear I don't care to impress
I'm a mess can't even guess
I'm a mess I confess
I swear I don't care to impress
I'm a mess…
-Where's your room? -Oh it's….
-Sids, I will… -Oh, sorry!
Let me, let me….
Let me try.
I'm a terrible person, right?
Nonsense.
Even more so with you.
But, for now…
you weren't always like this.
Mihir,
Mihir, please don't leave me, okay?
I just want to….
Varun, I'm really sorry about what Siddhi said.
I don't think like that about you and
-you should know that. -Anj….
You don't owe me any explanations.
It's me.
And it's you.
Yeah.
And it's us.
I wanna get lost in you
Take the night off with you
We can do what lovers do
Just you and I
Spell it out with your hands
Hold it like you never have
Moving on my command
Doing it right
Taste it yeah sweeter than honey
Surrender and you won't be sorry
Taking all over my body
Like here we go here we go
Gimme that good good love
Like I knew that you would good love
I shouldn't have dropped that truth bomb, right?
No, it's….
You have the right to express how you feel.
And you have the right to feel awkward.
I'm not being awkward.
Then why are you avoiding me?
I'm not avoiding you.
You're kissing me back.
Do it good Do it right
Do it just the way you like
Yeah you wanna take a bite
Oh boy!

What are you thinking about?
Sorry if I bulldozed you into moving in.
Damini.
You think you can do this with me?
Forever?
Dee, I think we should get married.
What?
Jeh….
I….
Just forget it.
I'm trying to find my way back to you
In the darkness
But I can't seem to find the light
I used to think our love Is strong enough to make it
