Things aren't finalised yet. This is Hamlet...
This is for Hamlet and this is for the Lord.
This is Ophelia's skirt.
Twirl in it.
Good boy.
And this is for Horatio.
I mean this is the colour that we're going for.
Besides this, as such...
Who's playing Horatio?
We haven't found anyone yet.
We're still looking but it's tough casting.
What about Anuj?
-That fool! -Oh no.
His audition was great.
Let's try.
His audition was indeed nice.
He must be around.
Anuj.
Present, ma'am.
Enough with the attendance.
Come here.
Yes.
Hi, Shivangi.
I see your dedication.
If not a role, you took to back stage!
Yes, helping here helps with proxy attendance
and I learn a lot from you all.
He's born to be an actor.
Way to go.
Nidhi,
here's my two cents.
He's desperate to be in the play.
Should we give him a role?
Should we?
Please.
Let's do it.
Wow, you impressed the writer!
I've got to cast you now.
It's a small role. Will do?
Of course.
I'll do any role at all.
I can be a tree if you like.
Demo please.
I just want to go to Ahmedabad.
Why?
What's so special about Ahmedabad?
Ahmedabad!
Yes.
Ahmedabad!
Yes.
Ahmedabad!
Incredible!
You surely cast an impression
on the writer girl.
No way!
She's a smart girl.
You know, she's great at poetries.
But of course I know.
You've only been talking about her.
I think you're bedazzled by her charm.
Ritu,
are you jealous?
Oh, shut up.
I'm not like your Bhopali girlfriends
to get jealous.
And I know
you won't find anyone better than me.
Ritu,
just tell me if you're jealous.
I won't get offended.
-Hello! -Anuj, don't irritate me.
One cold drink please.
The snack isn't hot!
Is this seat taken?
Please sit.
What brings you here?
Why?
Am I not allowed in here?
I mean, you're an Arts student.
Those guys don't frequent here.
I came to meet you.
Me?
Why?
I'm sorry, Anuj.
We gave your role to someone else.
Sorry.
Just kidding. Sorry.
Oh, come on!
Just kidding. Sorry.
Well,
you're a good actor.
You got me.
-Thank you. -I should be thanking you instead.
You're helping me meet my girlfriend.
Thank me one more time
and you'll be out of the play.
No! I'm sorry.
No sorry either.
No sorry and thank you. Then?
First, quit eating that.
Let's eat at our canteen.
You'll love it.
What say?
I have a lecture now.
What lecture?
Don't you bunk classes?
Never?
Come on, Anuj.
Listen, there's always a first time.
Shall we?
Let's go.
See, our library.
-Nice? -Who cares how a library looks.
You'll only find books inside.
Very funny. Typical engineering PJ.
Whatever.
What happened?
You carry on, I'll join you.
Hello, Ritu.
Hi. What's up?
Well, nothing much.
How's your day going?
Good. How about you?
I was headed to the canteen.
What are you doing?
I came to the university
with Shivangi.
Oh.
Are you done with your lectures?
No, I'll bunk the next lecture.
Anuj!
Yes.
Talk while you walk.
The canteen will run out of snacks.
Coming.
Okay, enjoy the snacks.
Okay.
Bye, Ritu.
Bye.
Am I in the frame?
Nice.
You should see Ritu's photos.
She has a distinct POV.
I'll show you some day.
Well,
don't you feel insecure?
She's in Ahmedabad
all alone.
What if she finds a new boyfriend?
She won't do that.
I trust her.
Does she trust you as much?
Of course.
In fact, she's certain I won't find anyone better.
Okay.
If I post this photo tagging you,
she'll be okay?
Yes.
No problem.
Sure?
Yes.
In fact, I'll repost it.
She's cool.
Show me.
Moody scenes!
Being a visual art student,
I feel
these cups of hot tea
depict Anuj and that girl's steamy passion.
There's some female playwright.
She's an Arts student from a different department
and now they're friends.
He's bunking lectures
and strolling around the university.
-There's a comment too. -Show me.
Show us the lucky one.
Let me see.
-Are you jealous? -No, why would I be?
Then?
Why are you upset?
I'm not upset. I'm just worried
-lest she uses him. -She's a poet at heart.
-Wow. -Enjoy the cringe stuff. I'm off.
-Ritu, wait. -Where are you going?
I've ordered hot tea for you.
Please, darling.
I just want one thing.
Yes, will do.
'We're two sides of a road'
'Poor souls lost in the crowd'
'It takes 2 hours to see you'
'People say home can be a place or a person.'
-'But for me, home...' -Hi, guys, it's me Shivangi.
This year our cultural fest Navrang
will have my open mic event...
What are you thinking of?
That life didn't turn out as expected
and what happened was beyond real.
-Navrang... -Crap!
Cultural fest Navrang...
The first open mic...
Saba, come out.
I'm always late because of you.
Wait, I'm at it.
Come out.
Yes.
Hello.
She updated you first thing in the morning!
If you like someone's 6 month old post
it's bound to be noticed.
Well,
why were you stalking her profile?
I wasn't stalking her profile.
Saba and Mansi were reading her stupid poems.
I clicked it by mistake.
My cute Ritu,
tell me if you're insecure.
Just shut up. I'm not insecure.
In fact, I'm worried lest she takes you for a ride.
It's your wish if you want to be her fool.
Bye, I'm getting late.
Ritu...
Now a noble heart breaks.
Good night, sweet prince.
May a host of angels sing you to your sleep.
Let four captains carry Hamlet like a soldier onto the stage.
You would've been a good king if you had a chance to prove yourself.
And for his funery progressions,
military music and military rights will speak for your bravery.
A sight like this
looks good on the battlefield but here at court
it proves that much went wrong.
Go outside and tell the soldiers to fire their guns
in the honour of Hamlet.
(Crowd cheering Anuj)
Anuj!
Anuj, you did great.
I didn't expect that from you.
Me neither.
You're an actor like me.
I was supposed to do that role.
Then?
Creative differences.
See you.
Bye.
Hi, Anuj.
You were so good. Amazing.
Congratulations.
Guys, announcement.
Party at my house.
I want no excuses.
Done.
Don't be too happy. It's BYOB.
Just come.
I'll be there.
You'll come, right?
No, I don't like parties.
I get bored.
Please come, it'll be fun.
I know but I have an early morning flight.
-Where to? -Home.
It's my parents' anniversary.
Oh.
So you won't come to Ahmedabad?
Oh no!
We'll miss you.
Will you?
Huh?
Of course.
Anuj,
if you don't mind, can you drop me?
Of course, let's go.
-Right? -Yes.
Thanks for dropping me.
Shivangi, you forgot your bag.
Oh yes.
Anuj.
Yes?
I think you should consider acting seriously.
For real?
See you.
-Bye. -Bye.
Are you hurt?
Anuj,
thank you so much.
Get going,
it's late.
Yes, it's late indeed.
I'll warm up the food for you.
You won't be able to do it yourself.
How many 'rotis'?
Two.
Yes, Ritu.
Hi.
How was the play?
Good.
Everyone appreciated me.
Congratulations.
Where are you?
With everyone.
We're partying.
Oh! Nice.
Listen, I just wanted to say
I know I overreacted in the morning.
And I don't mind you being friends with Shivangi.
Just don't bunk classes
to loiter around with her.
Yes.
You're right.
All right, enjoy the party.
Message me when you reach home.
Okay, bye.
Shivangi, I'll leave.
Anuj, wait for a while.
Please.
What happened?
Nothing.
Did Ritu call?
What did you say?
I don't know
why I lied to Ritu
that I'm at a party
when I'm here.
Anuj,
I understand.
It's natural to feel this way.
Meaning?
I mean...
I know you like me.
And I like you too.
You're in a long distance relationship.
It's common to feel like this.
I...
I'll tell Ritu the truth.
Are you mad?
She won't trust you again.
No trust,
no relationship.
Some secrets
better remain untold.
All okay, Anuj?
What are you doing on Manuabhan Tekri?
Is something wrong, Anuj?
What happened, Anuj?
Well...
Shivangi...
Yes.
What about her?
She likes me.
Did she say so?
When?
Last night after the play
when I dropped her home.
I called you
and you said you're at the party.
I was supposed to head to the party
after dropping her.
She sprained her foot.
So I took her home.
That's when you called.
You lied to me, Anuj.
I thought you'd get angry if I told you.
I was about to leave when...
What?
Did something happen between the two of you?
Did you cheat on me, Anuj?
You're mistaken.
It's not what you think.
Anuj, hear me out.
-No, I have to go. -Anuj.
I was helping her as a friend.
I didn't know her intentions.
Ritu, I swear on my parents
and my brother.
I am telling the truth.
Ritu, please say something.
Please believe me, Ritu.
I'm sorry. Forgive me.
Ritu...
It's okay.
I believe you.
I won't speak to any girl hereafter.
Certainly not to Shivangi.
No!
You don't have to do that.
Just don't lie to me.
Never.
Never?
Okay so tell me.
Did you not kiss her because of me
or you didn't want to?
Ritu,
I can't think of anyone other than you.
Well,
you went to Manuabhan Tekri
to say that?
I knew
nothing could go wrong
at our favourite place.
I miss you, Ritu.
I miss you too.
