Hi, Ritu.
-Hi. Had breakfast? -I just did.
You?
Look.
Finish your breakfast.
We can always chat later.
Oh no, I can manage.
Sure?
Okay.
So, what plans?
I'll drag Saba out of the bathroom and go to college.
What about you?
[indistinct lecture]
What are you looking at?
Nothing, sir.
Where was I? I was talking about
the effect of...
A big water container.
Yes.
Heart.
Love.
5th word.
Adi and Umer came along.
We had snacks
and went to see Amit's match.
You know Amit.
As always he got out on 0.
But his team won.
These chips taste better than mess food.
-I love this. -I don't like this flavour.
How are you?
-Ritu, Garima. -Hi.
-Where are you? Hurry up. -Put them behind.
-Hello. -Hello, Ritu.
Did you reach college?
Yes.
I couldn't sleep well last night.
Who asked you to talk all night?
It wasn't because of you.
I was just scared.
-What about? -Well,
once you get busy, we won't talk as much.
Nothing like that.
All right then.
-I've reached college. Call you later. -Okay.
-Bye. -Bye.
Give me two mins. Yes.
Take that over there.
Keep that over there.
Get 2 chairs quick.
Do you want it in writing?
Get to work. Stop laughing.
Put that in the centre.
Keep it here.
Get a chair.
Hello!
-Chair. -Hamlet.
Hello, momma's pet!
Are your hands full?
No.
Bring that here.
-Quick. -Yes.
Not like that, put it straight.
I want this colour.
-Okay? -Ma'am, where do I keep this?
There.
Nidhi,
Hemant refused to come to Ahmedabad.
Bloody hell!
He can't back out at the last minute!
His sister's getting married.
-It's a main role... -Ma'am,
I'm Anuj, first year.
So?
Ma'am, I heard about your actor.
I'll do it.
Any role will do
and I'm ready to visit Ahmedabad.
Do you have experience with acting?
Yes, I've performed before my parents many times.
I never get caught.
This is not the same!
Ashu, give him two scenes of Hemant.
Let's see.
Okay?
Thank you.
Look, acting is no joke.
Don't do it if you're not serious about it.
Okay?
Here.
Rehearse it.
-Nidhi, listen... -Ma'am...
Ma'am, this is an English play.
Can't handle it?
I will do it.
I want your audition at 9 sharp on Wednesday.
Buzz off.
-Go, prepare. -Yes.
Nidhi, he's a newbie. Why...
Let him try. There's something.
-I'll do it. -Never mind...
Let's check out the costumes.
It's by Soni Jadhav, right?
-I saw her click it. -I know.
-Really? -What a great click!
Oh my god. I love her photos.
She's too good.
Roshni Iyer.
Analog photography is her forte.
But she's a snob.
She thinks she's Raghu Rai!
There's so much to learn from her.
Meet her once and you'll know.
Wait! Don't open.
-What do you want? -Um, I'm Ritu Chauhan and...
-I'm in my first year. -Sweet.
I want to assist you.
Why?
I love your work.
And I'm also interested in analog photography.
What?
Analog photography.
Come inside.
Shut the door behind you.
This is exposed.
Develop this and then you can be my assistant.
I need it by evening.
So just be quick.
Ma'am, this course hasn't begun yet.
It starts next year.
Come next year.
Ma'am, you want to see few of my pictures?
And then you can decide.
Seriously?
Clicking pictures on the phone isn't photography.
Try learning that for starters.
Still here!
I don't have all day.
Good talk.
See you next year.
Why take Roshni's words to heart?
She might be an ace photographer
but she can't be rude.
No, Anuj.
I mean, she's right.
I should know things.
If photography is my passion then I should know it all.
Yes, that makes sense.
You agree with everything I say.
-That's true. -Again!
What else do I say?
Try saying
prove her wrong and learn how to do it.
Prove her wrong and learn how to do it.
You're a joker, really!
Well, you messaged
about an audition.
Oh yes. There's an English play called Helmet.
It's an adaptation.
It's Hamlet not helmet.
Exactly.
When is it due?
By 9 on Wednesday.
I'll record my auditions.
You select the best one.
I'll send that ahead.
Done.
Your choice is always the best.
Acting comes from the heart.
When I was in the 1st year like you,
I played Bhagat Singh.
For real?
Of course.
You guys know me.
I lost myself
in Bhagat Singh's character.
'Give me your blood'
'and we'll give you freedom.'
Wow.
Subhas Chandra Bose said that.
He's right.
Subhash... I played two characters.
-Bhagat Singh and? -Subhas Chandra Bose.
Right.
I got confused but you
better remember.
Take this for example.
Feel it.
Wow. Too good.
Love is friendship.
If she can't be my best friend,
I can never love her.
-Wow. -Too good.
-Got it? -Too good.
Let's rehearse.
Name, ID, date and sign. Return it by 6:00pm.
Don't lose it or break it.
Hail to your lordship.
It's easy.
That's a long sentence!
Hail your lordship. Hail your lordship.
Lord,
I'm your poor servant.
I came to see your father's funeral.
I saw him once.
He was a goodly king.
What's this?
Can't you stand straight?
Come on. Action.
-Hailship lord... -Again.
I came to see your father's funeral.
And I saw him once.
He was a goodly king.
Don't forget us when you make it as an actor.
Oh come on!
Hail your lordship.
I am glad to see you well.
Lord...
What's going on?
He's doing an English play.
Really?
Good way to learn English.
What?
I can also speak English.
Give that.
That's the last batch of this chemical.
It will be restocked next week.
So make do with this.
Hail to your lordship.
I am glad to see you well.
My lord, I came to see your father's funeral.
I saw him once.
He was a goodly king.
Give me a nice relaxed pose.
Hold that.
Look at the left of the camera.
Crap!
The number you have called is currently...
Brother, Ritu called you many times.
Why didn't you answer?
Keep the fake anger
for the stage.
Don't vent on Ritu.
Hello.
Why didn't you answer my calls?
Did you reply to my calls and messages?
I see. You're taking revenge.
Ritu, I sent you my auditions.
You still haven't replied.
Anuj, I was busy.
You were busy with your hobby.
It wasn't like you were studying.
Anuj, why are you being so rude?
Do you know what happened here?
-What? -While trying to answer your call,
I ended up dropping and breaking the film camera.
Oh!
Pin that also on me.
Don't take it in a wrong way.
I told you I'll reply later
yet you kept calling and messaging!
Because you don't reply as promised.
Anuj, I said I was busy.
So every time you're busy you won't reply, is it?
Anuj, it's just an audition.
It's no big deal.
What you're saying, Ritu,
is that your work matters
and mine doesn't!
Anuj, photography is my passion
while your audition is time pass.
It's pretty late.
I'm off to bed.
Hail to your lordship.
I saw him once.
He was a goodly king.
Did you keep the science book?
Yes.
Anuj, why do you have dark circles?
Aren't you sleeping well?
Well,
there's a lot to study.
Working like a charm.
Go, submit it.
-Ashwin. -Yes.
Ritu Chauhan, sign here.
Don't do this again.
-Or you'll pay a fine. -Won't happen.
Okay.
Spare me the thank you speech.
I liked your effort so I helped.
If I need you to return the favour,
I'll let you know.
Sure, ma'am.
What is this ma'am?
I have a name.
What's my name?
Roshni.
Good.
Easy, right?
I have some negatives to process.
Care to help?
Come.
It's 1 hour 20 minute long.
Nidhi!
What about the audition?
Anuj, our actor is back.
Sorry.
-It's okay. -I'll let you know if something comes up.
-But... -Shivangi, meet me after this lecture.
-Yeah sure. -Bye.
Hi, Anuj.
Your audition was great.
Thank you but how do you know?
I wrote that play.
I mean, Shakespeare is the author. It's my adaptation.
Oh!
Then I'll take it as a compliment.
I'm Shivangi.
Okay, see you around.
Bye.
Ahmedabad!
Hi.
You finally made friends with Roshni!
Yes.
And she's not that bad.
Introduce me to her too!
Hello.
You left me on seen!
I thought I disturb you with my calls and messages.
Anuj, I love when you message me first.
But don't get offended if I can't reply on time.
Ritu, I get scared
when you don't reply.
Do you know what scares me the most
about this long distance relationship?
What?
That we can't patch up after a fight
on Manuabhan Tekri!
Great!
This was our first long distance fight!
A lot more will happen in future.
This is just the start of long distance relationship.
Ritu, what can be worse than this?
You never know.
Anyway, forget this.
I saw your audition.
It was great.
What came of it?
Well,
the lead actor came back.
Are you bored of engineering?
I am
but I had other reasons to do this.
Like what?
This play is happening in Ahmedabad.
What?
Anuj, why didn't you tell me?
I wanted to surprise you
in case I'd get selected.
I'm so sorry, Anuj.
I was so mean to you.
It's okay.
You didn't know.
Well,
the writer told me that she loved my audition.
Don't get too friendly with girls
-or I'll come to Bhopal and thrash you. -Really?
Let me talk to her right away then.
You come to Bhopal.
Did you have dinner?
No, they had porridge on the menu.
Serves you right for living in Ahmedabad!
It's better than being a mumma's boy!
Really?
So, what plans for tomorrow?
Same as usual. I'll rise early
and use the wash room before Saba does.
What about you?
I've requested dad to buy me a scooter.
I'm an adult now.
I'm an adult too but I can't ride a scooter.
Don't worry,
I'll teach you.
