This is a bad trip.
This just isn't ending.
Do you have KC's question papers?
I'm really stressed right now. Please come later.
Brother Gurpreet seems determined to break us up.
It seems like Gurpreet
is bothered by you.
-Naman... -Sorry.
Why is their thinking so narrow-minded?
We can't change people's thinking, can we?
Why can't we?
We can do anything.
I say we go live right now and debate
whether a boy and a girl can just be friends.
-You're talking about going live? -Yes.
We'll have to explain.
No, if we debate among ourselves, people will think
we're just defending ourselves because we're guilty.
Exactly.
This time, you and I will team up and debate with them.
My bro's smart!
Is this 'carrot halwa' sugar-free?
'Hi, guys.'
'So, first tell me this.'
'In Harry Potter, '
'weren't Harry and Hermione friends?'
'They were, right?'
'And their priorities were very clear.'
'That's why there was never any confusion between them.'
'Exactly.'
'Look, I believe...'
'that you can't define relationships by gender.'
'Because relationships can exist between any two people, right?'
'And friendship...'
'Friendship doesn't even exist without personal jokes and fun, guys.'
'Where does gender come into this?'
Your content is cringe. You both are cheap!
Imagine how bad your family must feel.
Cheap.
Mom, who added water to the shampoo?
'Kadakbanda28' says a boy and girl can never just be friends.
And if she's not your girlfriend,
no guy would tolerate a girl's nagging.
No offense, 'Kadakbanda28',
but people who nag are
usually irritating themselves.
And such people just naturally become like that over time.
Can I make a confession?
I agree with their followers.
A boy and girl can never be friends.
After some time, it happens.
No, they can be.
But if their relationship level keeps changing so fast,
then obviously people will get confused.
Manav is changing himself.
He's fighting as a team with Kritika, not against her.
Look, bro...
Look how he's holding her hand.
Something's definitely going on.
Why don't you hold my hand?
'Without personal jokes and fun'...
You two are definitely a couple.
The vibe is love, not friendship.
-*** this! -Sir?
-Yes, Karishma. -Sir, the file.
Also, knock before entering.
Sorry.
Only 415 followers were left at the end.
Our audience has such a narrow mindset.
They're just jealous of us.
They've never seen such a dynamic friendship.
Whatever the dynamic is…
...it's still a bit below a boyfriend-girlfriend dynamic.
By the way, I saw Deven was live too.
Yeah, I know.
Brother was chatting with 'Saktlaunda 98.'
I should've told Mom about Deven at the resort itself.
She was in a good mood then.
Now, I'll have to be brave.
By telling Aunt about Deven,
how will the guys online think you're not a couple?
Once Aunt knows,
she'll upload a photo with Deven saying,
"This is my boyfriend." Problem solved.
-Good idea. -You two are smart.
Oh no…
I have to leave for the office.
-Today? -Yes.
-It's Sunday today. -I know,
but that stingy Bansal is celebrating his 25th anniversary
at the office, and he wants me to shoot a video for him.
-Deeksha… -Sorry.
You had to give water to your tortoise. Hurry up.
-Yeah. -Remember?
-Come on, let's go. -What about my box...
Forget it!
-Look... -Are you okay?
Don't worry, okay?
I'm here for you.
Did you eat onion?
Sorry. Uh…
Not onion…
I ate your favourite dish.
Sushi.
Raw fish and fat basmati rice. Urgh.
Listen, if you want, I can come tomorrow to talk to Mom.
No.
This is something Deven and I have to do.
Actually.
That makes more sense.
Fine, I'm leaving.
-I'll see you. -Bye.
Have fun.
Me too.
Bro!
It's not a rave party.
It's an office party. With these flashy lights,
how will anything show on my camera?
Use some warm lights.
Sir, they want flashy lights.
Since when did Baniyas figure out what they want in life?
That's racist.
Why are you stereotyping so much?
This is Samara, she's half a CA,
'and a full filmmaker.'
'She's chill and non-judgmental too.'
'Basically, good vibes only.'
Say sorry. BLM.
Baniya Lives also Matter.
Sorry.
Jitu, put this on charge.
Good call on the warm lights, by the way.
Thank you.
Are you here to cover the event too?
Yes.
A favour for a family friend.
So, I thought I'd check the lights before the event.
Bansal's got it right.
Even we are doing a favour, the caterers are doing a favour,
and despite being so rich, he gets all the work done for free.
Naughty Bansal.
Maybe that's why he's rich.
I never thought about that.
Hi.
Manav.
I'm doing articles hip here.
And do you see that gol-gappa stall?
That's my seat.
I'm Samara.
CA intern but also an aspiring film-making student.
And which one is Plan B?
Let's see.
According to Dad, girls only take photos for fun,
but according to me, since Dad has given me so much freedom,
the least I can do is complete my studies.
Of course, before becoming a poor, creative person.
Sweet.
-Is this a mirror-less camera? -Yes.
-Can I see it? -Yes.
Does it use E-mount lenses?
Yeah. That's why I got it. Maximum versatility.
Best hybrid camera.
I agree.
But it's very expensive. Very expensive.
Oh, I see.
Are you shaming me for privilege?
Being shamed for privilege is a privilege in itself, my friend.
Sir, where should I keep this beer?
I agree.
If someone spends 200 on a movie ticket,
it should be full value-for-money entertainment.
-Right. -Show arty films on online platforms.
Those who want to watch will watch.
Because the elite have made art so boring...
...that people keep watching useless,
silly online videos.
I mean, mindless scrolling.
That's why I'm not on Snapgram at all.
And you?
Zero me.
Meaning?
0 posts, 0 following, 0 followers.
Like that.
Same.
By the way...
...what does this mean?
It means one should maintain balance in life.
Oh.
There's only one thing I don't like in life.
What?
Uncertainty.
Deep.
-Are you making fun of me? -No.
-No, go ahead. -No, absolutely not.
This was quite unexpected.
Meeting a super fan of 'Hera Pheri'
at Bansal's anniversary party.
Isn't it?
And meeting someone who has more
sunset pictures on their phone than mine.
Of course, mine are better but...
It's okay.
And I also liked
meeting someone
who shares so many common interests with me.
Like my mirror image.
Just in a cute,
handsome boy's body.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
So, if I kiss you right now,
would that be self-love?
And I love self-love.
My family has a camera set up on the phone.
-I have to go. -Yeah?
By the way, I'm wearing a black lehenga.
And you?
Me...
Quickly!
Yes, I'm also wearing black.
Okay.
Yeah, Naman! Where are you?
Do you have a black kurta?
Kritika!
'I've been calling you for so long!'
'- Where are you?' - What happened?
'I'm freaking out here, '
'and you're wandering around'
'in wedding attire, drunk.'
It's not alcohol,
it's the intoxication of love.
Samara... I didn't tell you. Her name is Samara.
I met her at Bansal's party.
Samara?
Doesn't she have a star kid-type name?
She's a complete star herself.
Wait a second, anyway, I called for myself.
Manav, Deven is reaching home.
Look, if there's no call in 2 hours,
just assume it's honour killing.
Yeah, I'll assume that, but...
You were right about the hype around love.
If it happens, you feel it from within.
I'm agreeing with her on everything.
It's your hormones talking.
Do you get it?
How much did you drink?
Just a little.
But listen, look...
your mom is very understanding at heart.
-Everything will be fine. -But what if it's not?
I'm here. And...
Deven isn't going anywhere, but
I'll always be here.
All the best with Shanaiya!
Best of luck with Dharmesh!
Now add a few couple shots.
Why are you escalating it?
They're not an actual couple.
Just do what I'm telling you.
Come on.
Akshat, why are we even doing this?
We'll just say it was the hotel's brief, and we had to follow it.
If anything, I'm trying to help them, okay?
Edit it and send it to the hotel staff.
Are you sure?
Look at me.
Do you trust me?
Yeah.
I have this all figured out.
Everything.
Everything?
Focus.
Edit.
The monthly target will be met.
100 percent sure.
Hey!
Have you come to a wedding?
Rascal is wearing a new hoodie and acting all high and mighty.
There's that too.
Listen, there was a girl here who was supposed to cover the event.
She's Bansal's family friend. Have you seen her?
I think...
Someone in Bansal's family...
What a performance, Mr. and Mrs. Bansal!
So now, for the next performance
we have Mr. Amit Bansal's daughter,
Samara!
Bansal's daughter? Son of...
Kittu,
go check if the lentils are cooked or not.
And yeah, make me a cup of tea while you're at it.
Go and help her out.
You do know where the kitchen is, right?
Sure.
Aunt suddenly hates me.
Did you see her death stare?
Deven!
2005!
That year, a show was released that became quite famous.
Even in the bookshop, kids...
...would talk about that show.
That show popularized a term.
What was that term?
Yes.
Bro code.
'Bro code means that rule of friendship'
'where your friend's sister is like your own sister.'
All the kids used that term.
-Aunt, I... -Stop!
Deven, I've seen relationships form and break in universities.
People recover from breakups...
...but not from losing friendships.
-Aunt, I'll talk to Manish. -There's no need!
He is already stressed about his work.
It's better that you both keep this hidden from him for now.
Something you both are very good at.
But we're in a serious relationship.
If you were really in a serious relationship,
you would've taken this seriously
and gone to talk to Manish first!
You can expect anything from me,
but don't expect happiness.
And yes!
You should watch that show.
Which show, Aunt?
How I Met Your Mother.
No, no, I didn't mean that at all.
Bansal is such a good boss.
He's not stingy at all.
You have time. Do some damage control.
Sorry.
Good colour combo, by the way.
Looks good on you.
Good deception, by the way.
Everything looks good on you.
And you gave mom and dad a dance as a gift?
Miser.
Now after this, if I don't stereotype baniyas, what should I do?
What should I do? After all, I'm Bansal's daughter.
To be honest, I wanted to gift mom and dad
a framed picture from their college yearbook.
Wow.
But sadly, I couldn't get access to the Chandigarh University Library.
You know they were both toppers.
Yes. And they had to get a picture taken together,
spent half an hour and
fell in love.
Do you think love happens that quickly?
I mean...
Bansal saved you from answering.
Fine, I have to leave.
I'll see you around.
I'll get your number from Bansal
to call you.
Oh, such hard work.
I already texted you.
Huh?
You can borrow my kurta to dress up
and I can't even get your number?
Bye.
Took you a long time to call.
I've never felt this embarrassed in my life.
Your mom was looking at me like I was a criminal.
And from childhood, she called me 'son',
and today suddenly I'm Deven.
What happened?
I'm a decent guy.
I feel so shady right now.
What are you doing now?
Deven, look,
brother has to find out,
whether it's today or tomorrow,
I don't care.
I'll upload our photo.
Everyone online will shut up.
Let's do this.
Enough!
Why create a scene, Kritika?
What should I do, Deven?
Now aunt will tell us what to do.
Hold this, I'm going home.
But...
Please.
Manav, please, I can't talk now.
It's urgent.
Hey Kritika...
Hurry up!
Pick up the helmet.
Why do you carry such a big helmet?
'Bansal was quite handsome.'
Wow! Wow!
Yes!
Thank you, Kritika! Thank you!
You're the best!
I think...
I've fallen in love with her.
Love.
What's with you, Manav?
You'll fall for any girl wearing cute sneakers.
No, it's different with her.
Easy.
Free flowing.
-Special! -Manav...
Manav...
You know, right, you're just having a crush.
Oh, what do you think?
Love can't happen so quickly?
Oh, love at first sight.
Law of attraction.
Connections. All of this is real, Kritika.
Manav, real relationships
can't happen without getting to know each other.
And please, first dates are just performances.
Love is not a moment...
...love is a process.
What are you talking about? Love is a moment, Kritika.
Love happens in a moment.
A moment. That perfect moment.
Not today. Not today.
Okay, come here.
You're such a good friend to me.
You've helped me so much.
-You're so good... -I don't need fake sympathy.
Okay.
Sorry.
Well, a little alcohol and this lovely feeling
messed with my emotional quotient a bit. Sorry.
Tell me.
Are you okay?
If I say I'm not okay, will you stop?
Always, buddy!
What are friends for?
To be there for each other, right?
As long as I'm in your life,
I won't let you rely on anyone else.
Don't worry.
I'm feeling really exhausted, Manav.
Deven also left angrily.
By the way, let me say one thing.
Personally,
I didn't find Deven's reaction quite right.
I don't know
how much he's hurting inside.
He's not at fault.
If you think it's right,
then it's right for me too.
That means you're not convinced.
Look, whatever seems right to you,
I'll make it right for myself.
It's not a big deal.
Don't move.
Exactly what?
Bringing my mom and dad's picture,
or staying up all night on a video call
with some random girl?
Or this...
Going for a morning jog with her
and then having tea.
You know, this is really unusual for me.
I thought I'd tell you.
Yeah, I know.
It's the same for me too.
My best friend Kritika was saying that this is just a crush.
I mean, it's not a crush.
That's sweet.
-What? -Tea.
It's sweet.
'I'm sorry, baby.'
'I will convince mom.'
'Please, answer my call.'
I don't want to eat!
I don't want to eat! Please.
I don't want to eat...
-Party time! -Hey!
Guys, leave me alone.
Are you guys kidding me?
I don't want to celebrate anything. What is all this?
Sister, but we even inflated the balloon.
Naman, first go and close the door.
As you command, my queen...
And what is all this?
What's there to celebrate?
Deven is still sitting there sulking.
There's nothing to celebrate about.
Bros before hoes!
And I can understand your pain.
After all, I'm also a new member of this world of love.
Kritika, look, this is important.
This is what will be remembered later.
And if you don't celebrate today,
tomorrow when you have a million followers
and you'll be like...
-Guys! -What guys?
-Look! -What are you looking at?
Hundred and one thousand?
Hundred and three thousand?
Hundred and nine thousand!
-Congratulations! -Hold on!
Which video has gone viral?
Sister, could you wait a little for me?
What happened?
Did you match with someone?
Oh no. Look at this.
This is my favourite content creator, Kritika.
She has released her new video.
You know, no one has ever seen her boyfriend.
And this video...
In this video, her boyfriend's tattoo is visible.
See, now it's easy to find him.
One second.
What's her boyfriend's name?
Name? I don't know his name, but yes,
his initial is M.
'What does this mean?'
'It means that
there should be balance in life.'
'My best friend Kritika was saying that this is just a crush.'
