Kamlesh, you've come to Mumbai for the first time.
You will fall in love with this city.
This is Versova. People call it mini Bollywood.
Anyone who comes here, does not return.
This way.
This water you see here is because it rained heavily last night.
Else this place is very clean.
- Does it stink like this all the time? - That's because of the rain.
Else this place never stinks.
Come. Come. This is our building.
The flat is very nice.
Even Nawaz bhai used to live here.
When he did that role in 'Munna Bhai'. Do you remember?
"Take a look."
"Look into my eyes and..."
- Can I help you? - No, no. It's okay.
You get electricity and water 24x7.
All are actors in this sharing facility. You will build a good network.
How many people share the place?
It was quite crowded earlier.
Two have left now.
Only seven people are now.
With you the total will be eight.
Consider it your own house. Come on in.
- Hey, Shikhar. How are you? - I'm good, bro. How about you?
Good!
- Hey, welcome him. He's a buddy. - Hi.
- How are you? - Kamlesh. Welcome.
Kamlesh. Kamlesh.
Hello.
- Hello. - Hello.
I was wondering when you'll come home.
I have a team presentation tomorrow,
so I'm thinking of staying over at Saumya's place.
- I see. - Hmm.
Okay then, I'll get back to work. Okay?
Yes. Alright.
One. Two. Thr...
Hello?
Who else lives here, sir?
You.
Is it small?
No, no, it's fine.
Hey, BTS.
Yes, sir.
- This is BTS. - Greetings.
Your personal assistant.
He will run all your errands hereafter.
- He will even wash your underwear. - No, sir.
He will. And your entire focus will be on the game.
Get it?
Come on. Go and get ready.
Let's sit.
- No need, BTS. - Give it to me, sir.
Hello.
Yes, Shushu. Let's go out for lunch.
Listen. Whatever it is, text me. I'm on a call.
Hello?
Rolling! Tilt the name 'Parivartan' to the front. Tilt it to the front.
Yes!
- Shall we? - Yeah.
Roll! Look at the camera and smile, kiddo.
And action!
You see?
You are content when your family is with you.
"Parivartan Chakki Atta"
And cut!
- How did that go, sir? - It's better.
I hope you recorded it, sir.
I want to upload the story.
Are they taking auditions here, bro?
They were. Ritvik Sahore bagged the role again.
Cry baby! Bad actor!
Sanchi, Mini TV is talking about four more seasons of Jamnapaar.
I'll talk to them.
Tell them there should be no heartbreak this time.
Okay.
- Isn't that Ritvik? - It is Ritvik.
- Ritvik. - One photo.
Just a second, bro. Just a second.
- Huge fan, bro! Huge fan! - Yes.
- I have watched all your series. - Thanks.
- I'm an actor too. - Oh! Good! Focus on your craft.
Thank you, bro.
- Come, Sanchi. Sanchi, come. - Just one.
- Sanchi... - Huge fan, bro! Bro, huge fan!
Yes. Thanks, bro.
- Shushu. - Huh?
It's the weekend.
Let's go out for lunch.
I have to study today.
I've taken up that course.
Yes. Let's go out for dinner then.
You will be done with your studies by then.
I've planned to go home this evening.
I haven't seen my mother for a while.
- You can see your her tomorrow. - Tomorrow...
I have office.
It becomes hectic.
Yes, you're right.
Office is important.
- Go ahead and study. I... - Hmm.
Have some.
- Okay. Thank you, BTS. - Thanks.
Mummy misses you.
Why don't you come home tomorrow evening?
Dad won't be at home.
- Aren't you getting late? - Don't ignore me.
I paid the EMI recently.
Dad sent the money back.
7-8 lakhs of the loan is pending. I will pay off the whole amount.
That's when dad will realize that a stamp on a document
is more important than unrealistic words.
Chatty, why are you so obsessed with defeating dad?
There is no obsession, Chetna.
I just want to see you guys happy.
Keep this. Please.
No, Our happiness lies in you quitting this and returning home.
All day mummy worries about how you must be.
We are afraid for you.
In India, 370 million people indulge in betting.
The maximum jail time is 3 months
and if you have money, not even that.
I don't want to debate right and wrong with you.
Then don't.
Please keep this.
I'll come tomorrow.
Did you give an intro at Mukesh Joseph's place?
There is no place in Aram Nagar where I haven't auditioned.
We are no longer taking open intros.
All of you may please leave.
- Thank you. - What is this?
Never mind casting agencies,
I've gone from production houses to the sets and begged for work.
Silence!
Please go away.
There is no point coming here.
Go to the casting agencies.
Nobody is willing to offer work.
You can only get work through contacts.
And I had only you as a contact and that was yours.
Please do something.
I have only 4000 rupees remaining.
How much money did you bring with you?
40000 rupees.
I thought I will get another 30000 for the ad that I did.
And I will be able to last for another 3-4 months.
But the ad isn't releasing and they aren't releasing my payment too.
Why did you come to Mumbai?
You called me for the ad.
You should have left after doing it.
Who told you to stay?
There are more actors than mosquitoes in Aram Nagar.
It could take up to one year to get your first proper job,
provided you're lucky.
You might be special in your city
but special people from every city
come here thinking someone will make them a hero.
The glamour is only visible on the outside.
On the inside there's only labor.
Juniors work for 500 a day. They queue up outside all day
just so their thumb is visible on screen, never mind their faces.
I will work hard, but I cannot go home.
I am not special.
My friends and family only curse me.
I won't move from here until the cursing turns into applause.
You idiot! I have seen several actors getting destroyed
because of these dialogues.
I have a project. I'll try to do something for you.
Please don't have high hopes.
And listen, leave quietly the day
you run out of money. Don't listen to anyone.
Auto!
Seven bungalows?
I also came here to be an actor.
Let's go.
You know, if our clients ever know how we talk about them,
nobody would sign up with us.
Please. They should not find out.
But thank you so much for dropping me.
Hey, come on. Don't be silly.
- Your bag. - Yeah, I'll take...
Sorry.
No.
- Okay, I'll take it. - Yeah.
- Well, goodnight. - Goodnight.
I'll see you tomorrow.
- Bye. - Bye.
- Take care. - Drive safe.
Thank you.
- What are you doing? - Protecting you from falling.
Let go. I am working.
Hold on. The towel.
What are you doing?
I told you I am working.
- Rohan, what are you doing? - I won't take any excuses.
Rohan!
Rohan. What are you doing,
Rohan, what are you doing? Don't you understand?
I said no.
Mummy, let's get that cricket card too.
What kind of games do you play?
Do you want to be a gambler?
Why are you yelling at the child, sister-in-law?
The situation in this neighbourhood is bad.
Mom...
What's the matter, mom?
I made a mistake.
I thought when I will wear this necklace and go out,
I will be able to look people in the eyes.
I was wrong.
Did someone say something to you?
- Tell me. I... - What will you do?
Do you have goons as friends now?
People are talking because they are jealous of us, mom.
We would also feel jealous. We would find faults.
Look, they have black money. Their ancestors left them money.
Had they been jealous, they would have tried to be like us.
They would have wanted to affiliate themselves with us.
But these people are running away from us.
It doesn't matter to me what people are doing, mom.
The only thing that matters to me is this family.
This family is in debt.
I shall repay it.
Chetna wanted to go abroad to study. I will send her.
You wanted to start coaching classes. I will help you start it.
Why will you help me to start my coaching classes?
Are you father and son always going to dictate
what I am going to do?
A teacher teaches her students to stay away from bad company.
Today, my own son is bad company.
Yes, I have become bad!
I have accepted it. You should accept it too.
When I could do nothing for the family, I was worthless.
Now when I am doing everything for the family, I am still worthless.
Stop giving yourself misleading assurances, Chatty.
You are not doing this for us.
You are doing this because the shortcomings of the family
make you look weak in front of outsiders.
Food is ready. Eat before you leave.
He isn't eating, bhaiya.
What do you mean by he isn't eating?
He says he doesn't feel like eating.
Obviously, he won't feel like eating when he is unwell.
One has to eat to become strong even if one doesn't want to.
Yes. Exactly.
- Let me talk to him. - Sure.
He is asleep now, bhaiya.
Does he take his medicine on time?
Yes. Sometimes.
The doctor said he should get an MRI done, but he refused.
Damn!
What's his problem?
Make him talk to me when he wakes up.
- Okay, bro. - Make sure you call.
Okay.
Kammo. You're late. Come in.
Kammo bhai!
Wonderful!
What's happening? What are you celebrating?
We don't know.
Shikhar has thrown the party.
Looks like he has landed a big role, but he's not telling us.
It doesn't matter why we are having a party.
What's important is that we are having a party.
This would not have been possible without you guys.
Yes.
You guys helped me make such a great audition!
Thank you so much!
And you delivered the lines so well!
You are the best, bhai.
Love you. You are my child!
Now drink it all.
Congratulations, bhaiya!
- When did you come? - I came just now.
Come here!
Come on! Let's dance!
Oh! You aren't drinking?
I'm not in the mood.
What's the matter?
Please speak to your team,
if they could give me a small role.
What happened?
Nothing, bhaiya. Just my dad at home...
Can I tell you something? You won't tell anyone, will you?
I haven't landed a role.
I am moving back home.
What?
I've had enough.
It has been four years of toiling.
I am not getting beyond ads for itching and prickly heat.
I had my own room at home.
Here, I don't have my room or my own people.
I will handle the business back home.
I will join a group if I feel like it.
I will do theatre.
I'm done. I can't do this any longer.
This city stinks to high heaven, buddy.
What is this, bhaiya?
You are leaving us alone.
Even my parents are alone at home.
- Hi. - Hi.
You got quite late today.
No, everyone left the office at the same time.
Let me get that.
Actually, I have a surprise.
So, close your eyes.
- Close your eyes. - Okay.
- Careful. - Yes. Here.
No cheating.
Open.
What do you think?
It's nice.
But my birthday is day after tomorrow.
Yes, I have planned an even bigger surprise for day after.
- More surprises? - Yes. Hold on.
We are going to Kerala.
I've booked the flights, hotel and everything else.
It's going to be the best trip for us.
Obviously, this big suitcase is yours and the small one is mine.
Our bags are packed.
If you'd told me before, I would have planned something.
How can you say that?
Do you tell people you are going to surprise them?
Hmm.
Yeah, but I can't come.
Oh man. Shushu, it's the weekend.
Surely your office will give you a day off.
- It's your birthday. - Yes.
But...
I don't want to. I don't want to go.
Oh yes.
You don't want to go to Kerala.
I see. It gets very hot.
Let's go somewhere close then. Let's go to Murthal.
That's too close.
Let's go to Kasauli. It will be cold. That will be more enjoyable.
No. I have a lot of work in office.
They've driven us crazy. It's very hectic.
Hey.
You have time to chill with your colleagues after hours every day.
You have time to go to the house you left to come here.
You have time to go for salsa.
You have time to go to Taj with Abhishek.
I'm the only one you don't have time for.
What?
Abhishek?
What the hell!
That was a joke, Rohan.
Do you understand?
My department planned a team building activity,
which fell on my birthday.
That's why this is happening.
Everyone is making fun about the expenses
that the company bore for my birthday.
But to hell with all of that!
How do you know about this?
You checked my phone, didn't you?
You're spying on me, aren't you?
- Damn! - No, no.
You can do it but I cannot even look. Don't put this on me.
- What? - No, no, no. Hold on.
Tell me what other option I have.
Tell me.
Every time I try talking to you,
it feels like you are ignoring me.
You're running away from me.
When was the last time we spent quality time together?
When was the last time we had sex?
Do you recall when it happened last?
I got into a live-in because I thought our love would grow,
but here it feels like we're in a long distance relationship.
You are getting closer to your boss.
I am not getting close to anyone, Rohan.
We are drifting apart.
Man...
What... What are you saying?
I can't do this anymore, Rohan.
You could do it until yesterday, but you can't do it today?
No, it's not about today.
This has been playing on my mind for the past one and a half months.
Hey...
- Oh man... - What is playing on your mind?
We are very different, man.
You are very happy in your life.
And I don't even know what makes me happy.
I'm yet to figure it out, Rohan.
This won't happen because we won't be able to grow together.
It's like...
I don't know if I can respect you like this.
How much more money do you want?
It's not about money.
Just tell me. I bought the ticket.
- I will earn. I am being genuine. - No.
How much money would make you happy?
I want nothing. I am done.
Done how?
- That's what I am asking you. - Okay.
When you come close to me, when you touch me,
I feel uncomfortable.
I feel strange. I feel weird.
I'm not attracted to you anymore.
If we go on the trip,
this will happen on the trip too. Again.
What is the point of all this?
Until now I was concerned about how you'd handle it if I told you,
but I can't be in this relationship for charity sake, right?
This is not the reason to stay in a relationship.
Shushu, listen. I have a feeling...
Listen to me. Listen.
You know what? You are overthinking.
That's all it is. You are overthinking.
No, no, no.
It's a quarrel, right?
We quarrel so many times.
Let's do one thing. Let's sleep on it.
I'll sleep in the living room if you wish.
Let's just seep on it.
It will be fine. Listen to me.
- Rohan... Rohan. - Listen to me.
- Rohan. - We'll sort it out.
Rohan.
One should want to sort out things.
I am not interested anymore.
"0129."
"Hair kept slightly long, age creeping up to 36."
"I held onto my Yamaha '94."
"Some know me by name, some by voice."
"Wherever I go, my pen is always with me."
"It's my smartness and God is always by my side."
"Warm greetings to everyone around."
"Hands raised in prayer when I..."
- Where are you going? - On an errand.
Quit this, Chatty.
- This is not good. I am telling you... - Drop it, bhaiya.
If anything, you need to quit interfering in other's matters.
I consider you my younger brother.
- And you should be more polite. - I am being polite, brother.
How much money did dad borrow from you?
- What? - One lakh? One point five lakh?
Wait.
Remove all the money there is in the glove box and hand it to me.
Keep this.
Consider the extra money interest on the loan.
Sorry.
You have gone too far ahead.
It is my fault.
"I find a new flavor, like a shadow!"
"Time is fleeting, but my season will come."
"I just keep singing, my heart tells me so."
"This world lies in my hands, yet I feel no connection."
"Life is beautiful."
"Dress it up a little, my friend."
"Hmm... it's beautiful."
"Keep your eyes open, my friend."
"Morning and evening, I roam my city."
"Wherever you come from, take a moment to stand still."
"Measured with joy, the crowd is buzzing."
"Tell me, dear one, where has the chaos gone?"
I told you I am on the phone, you f*****!
Keep coming on at me!
Sorry.
What was that??
Who speaks to customers like that?
You swore at him?
Sorry. It was a slip of tongue.
Come here.
Have you been drinking?
Answer me.
- Move. Leave! - Sorry, bro.
Please listen...
I said, leave!
"Now I'm the boss."
"The tune flows like truth itself."
"Dodging and weaving, my pen holds onto honesty."
"Stay strong, my smile speaks volumes."
"Another's puzzle unveils the secrets I hold."
"Spread the word! Play all my songs!"
"Listeners, listen closely to me, yeah."
"My stories are my own. I've never copied anyone else."
"If I don't fight with myself, why would I fight with you, brother?"
"Life is beautiful."
"Dress it up a little, my friend."
Did you check your temperature?
It is 102.
He has never scored that much in all his exams put together
as his temperature.
Never mind me, first get the MRI done.
I refuse to sit in that machine.
- Why? - The sound it makes scares me.
So much stubbornness is not good, dad.
Both of you are stubborn.
Never mind him.
Did you take any medicine?
No. I'll take it now.
Have some food first, bhaiya.
I don't feel like eating, buddy.
Obviously, you don't feel like eating when you're unwell.
You have to eat against your will.
Do you understand?
Hello. Why aren't you eating?
Have you been eating?
Don't try to be my father.
If you wanted to be my father,
you should have stayed here with me.
I am telling you.
Don't worry about me. I will eat.
You eat your food,
take your medicine on time and get some rest.
Then get back to your work.
You also take your medicine and get the MRI done.
Yes, all right. All right.
I will get it done.
Goodbye.
Hello, Saumya. This is Rohan.
Is Ishita there?
Actually, she is in a meeting.
Don't sweat it. I'll have her call you as soon as she gets free.
Oh, okay.
No, no. Just do one thing.
Why don't you ask her to call me when she is free?
I think there's a network problem.
I've been trying her number for the past two days.
Her phone is busy.
I thought she might be worried.
I am worried too.
We haven't been able to communicate.
Or else, actually, call me from your phone
when she comes and hand it to her.
That way we will get to talk and it will save time.
Or if she wants to come over and doesn't want to talk over the phone,
she can come home. I mean, I am at home now.
Couples fight sometimes. You must know that.
And we had a bit of a thing, so I...
Else I would never call you like this, I know.
But if you could please do this for me.
And thank you. If you could get her to talk to me.
Thank you.
- How many down? - Six.
Make it eight.
Let's see if Rocky's hen lays gold this time or craps all over.
One lakh.
Two.
Yeah! Six!
Do you have the guts to play more?
Ten.
Fifteen.
- What are you doing, Chatty? - Trust me.
Stop, Chatty. Stop.
You are playing to defeat him now, not to win.
- Let's go. - Yes, Rocky is here.
To clean the crap his hen made.
Hey! Why are you harping about a hen for so long? Dog!
Wait, sir. I'll teach this mother f***** a lesson.
Hey! Chatty.
Sorry.
Please. Sorry.
Take over, Bunty.
Come. Come.
Damn!
Bear in mind.
Never disregard me in future.
You don't work with me, you work for me.
'You don't work with me, you work for me.'
'You work for me.'
- Hello, bhaiya. - Hello, Sonu. What's happening?
The MRI reports have come in.
What does the report say?
The doctor said he has to get the surgery done.
But uncle has refused.
He said he will consider it in a couple of years.
What's his problem? Why won't he get it done?
Talk to the doctor and tell him to set it up.
I am leaving right away. I'll talk to him when I get there.
- Okay, bro. - Hurry. Okay.
- Hello. - Hello, Kamlesh.
Yes.
You gave an audition day before yesterday, right?
Yes, I did. Which production house are you calling from?
I am calling from Red Beetles.
Yes, yes, ma'am. I auditioned for a role there.
You have been shortlisted.
You have to meet the director.
I will see him. Tell me when he wants to see me, ma'am.
Are you free tomorrow? It is kind of urgent.
The shoot date is quite close.
Kamlesh?
Hello?
He wants to see me tomorrow?
Yes, he wants to see you tomorrow.
Aren't you free tomorrow?
Kamlesh, are you there?
Yes, ma'am. I am free.
I will come. I will be available tomorrow.
Okay, great.
I shall see you at 11:00 at Aram Nagar Part 2, 127. All right?
- Okay, ma'am. Thank you. - Okay, see you.
What is this?
You took a loan for 1.5 lakh rupees?
Bhaiya, I... I...
- Bhaiya, I... - What?
- I... - Look, Ronny. Tell me the truth.
I won't scold you.
- Tell me. - It was Ishita's birthday, brother.
What did you do?
- What did you do? - I booked a trip to Kerala.
Where is Ishita?
Ishita!
Where has Ishita gone?
Where is she?
Tell me. Where is she?
She left, right?
I told you so many times to focus on your career!
He was in a great hurry to leave home.
You saw the results within four-five months?
Look at your condition.
You've living in a dump.
You end up begging in a few days.
- Stop it, Satish. - Look.
You can beg or do whatever.
Just tell me this much.
With whose permission did you make your sister-in-law the guarantor?
What are you doing, man?
You are defrauding us?
You could have simply asked.
Have I ever refused you anything?
You would have harped on about it all my life!
You just said I will beg.
I don't beg. You force me to beg.
Because you enjoy making me beg.
I have begged from you all my life!
Satish! What are you doing?
Did you hear him talk?
Calm down! Calm down.
I heard him.
I also heard the way you are talking to him.
You said what you had to say, right?
Now leave.
I am the guarantor, right?
I shall deal with it myself.
Go away. Please!
Ronny.
Ronny. Look...
Everything he said was true.
She left you long before she actually left.
Truly.
And you know what?
Girls don't like boys
who cry and chase them.
They break up with such guys.
Listen. Forget everything.
Forget everything and move on.
Everything will be okay.
Trust me.
How can I just simply move on, bhabhi?
For the past four years,
she meant the world to me.
I only focused on her.
For her mock interviews,
I helped her prepare all night long.
I didn't sit for my placement.
I was caring then.
I was understanding then.
At that time she did not feel that I don't care about my career.
She needed me when I was her senior in college.
She needed me when I left my home to get in a live-in relationship.
And now, she doesn't need me.
She says...
She says I make her feel uncomfortable.
She says I am not ambitious.
She doesn't want me to be a bigwig, bhabhi.
Her boyfriend should become a bigwig.
I am not a bigwig.
You know, even though I am telling you all this,
if she walked in right now
I would lay flat on the ground and apologize to her and ask her to
Please... Please take me back.
I would do everything that makes her happy.
Look.
Calm down. Calm down.
Look, everything you are saying is true.
Everything is true.
I believe everything you say.
But what now, Ronny?
Huh? What do you want to do now?
You want to let this house remain as it is or do you want to clean it yourself?
Because nobody is going to come, Ronny.
- Nab them! - What have I done?
Come on.
Nab them!
- Let me go. I haven't done anything. - Move it!
- I haven't done anything. - Of course. Now, move it!
Believe me, sir. I haven't done anything.
Come with us.
"Hundreds of drops fall from this waterfall."
"Each drop known by its name in this cascade."
"It will bear the weight, it will be crushed by the stream."
"Dreams of royalty bow their heads under the waterfall's regime."
"The seed of the waterfall sits in its own delight."
"Floating below in a little boat, basking in the light."
"The flavour of devotion-what would a drop know of it?"
"Yet it demands its own kingdom, seeking its own summit."
"What can anyone tell this drop? That kingdoms often fall apart."
"This drop seeks its own peak. For itself, it dares to chart."
"I gave it the summit, it found its honour too."
"But then, without hesitation, it said,"
"Now I want the sky as well anew."
"A magical waterfall was found."
"People ask, where is the waterfall?"
"Is it small or big?"

"You, whoever you are, pull the silence-don't just talk."
"Everyone's a wild card, no one weighs their words."
"Start again from the beginning. A curse comes first."
"The wild one lit yet another Marlboro Red."
"A mystic of the streets, drawn into the chaos."
"Kalu, Chitt, Bhuri followed right behind."
"Hey, my boy, don't you dare stop now."
"Whose itch on the forehead is it-who can understand?"
"Sitting firmly, head held high, a devotee of Lord."
"The one gathering the caravan stands, smiling, and says."
"Fire!" Left behind smoke and weight, my friend."
