Manav, focus.
Yup.
What happened to you last night?
You went home all of a sudden.
No, well, actually...
Tejal is going to Bangalore next week, so I got a bit nervous.
Kritika, tickle him.
Manav, hold her tight.
What does he want?
Don't get nervous.
Just look into my eyes as if I'm
the most important woman in your life.
Anyway, I am, but...
You know what I mean, right?
Should I move your hair?
Amazing! Just like Virat and Anushka!
I need to pee.
Now, if I drink 3 litres of water daily for good skin,
-then I'm bound to go, right? -Yes.
I'll be back.
Manav, do you want to see your pictures?
-Yeah. -Come.
Manav!
You guys are killing it.
Our entire calendar is packed. It's nice.
-And you, good job. -Thanks.
-You guys carry on. -See you.
I love people in love.
Bro, tell me one thing.
I have a girlfriend too.
Our vibe check is great,
but I'm not sure.
How did you know Kritika is the one for you?
What do you mean?
I mean, how did you get to know that she's the one?
When we met,
we didn't think we'd be like this with each other.
We were very different.
Were?
And now?
Opposites don't attract each other; they complement.
I know we're not a perfect couple, but...
She makes me a better person.
I feel like waking up every morning thinking
about spending the whole day with her.
She's not just my comfort zone,
she's also my motivation.
Wow, bro.
You're in love.
-This... -What?
What? What did you say?
I think you're in love.
Was this your first relationship
or were you in...
No, I've been in relationships before.
And did you feel the same in those?
I guess...
Maybe.
Not sure.
Tell me one thing.
What do you think, was my and Samara's relationship real or not?
Why?
Just asking. I felt like asking, can't I?
No, no. Not like that.
Then?
If tomorrow you have to reconnect with Samara,
can you be purely friends with her again?
Yeah, I mean...
The breakup was amicable.
In fact, after that I wasn't feeling anything, so I was like
what's the deal?
Practically breakup, this maturely getting over,
what kind of love was this?
Look, brother, I've seen your and her relationship.
I think you just liked her.
Maybe because you both are very similar.
But love is a bit different, right?
But why are you asking?
I was simply asking.
-Really? -Yes.
Come on, else you'll miss your flight.
Do you want to reach Bangalore or not?
Hey!
What's up?
You're here?
All good?
Yes. Well...
Deeksha and Naman are always so into each other,
I get bored, so I came here.
Anyway, I thought
you probably hadn't set up your place yet.
And I was right.
So early?
And in a night suit?
It's called cords.
It looks like a night suit though.
I know why you're here,
it's because I'm probably feeling alone here without Tejal.
Sweet, sweet.
-Look, I'm not that nice. -Very sweet.
But if it makes you feel good, then fine.
Okay, listen,
just because Tejal left,
it doesn't mean that just because you're alone now,
you'll do anything.
I'm your family. Okay?
Family has a lot to do.
Yeah, I'll do it.
Let's set up your place. Manav, you haven't done anything.
Do you remember how, that day, in the heat of the moment, we said
"To heck with love! To heck with relationships."
How angry we were.
And now look at us.
We don't even think about that day anymore.
Right?
Yes.
Anyway, what's the point?
Who has the time to think about love and relationships?
Right now, all I need to focus on is my career.
I need to grow the account, make it huge.
Really huge.
A boy and a girl can never just be friends.
This is just a curtain! A curtain!
In those scorching nights,
to extinguish the fire of hearts racing and burning.
Darn it! Stay quiet!
Checkmate, bro.
You've fallen for Kritika.
Where's Kritika?
Thank you, ma'am.
Don't make me feel old by calling me ma'am.
-Bye. -Bye.
Manara? Hi.
You're an influencer, right?
Content creator.
I've seen your reels on my feed.
Do you remember the Creators Meet-Up?
You checked my profile there and even told me
that I don't have a niche.
Honestly, I'd be lying
if I said I remembered.
I truly don't remember at all.
I say things like that at every Creator Meet, so...
I'm sorry.
It might've been generic or normal for you, but
that advice changed my life.
And if you hadn't given me that advice,
I would've been lost.
-Manara? -Manav!
Come on, just accept it! You're in love with Kritika!
Yes, I love her.
-You agreed, right? -Yes!
I love Kritika!
I do! I do!
Don't go around telling everyone. It might jinx it.
It feels so good to say it out loud for the first time.
I am in love.
I knew it all along.
I didn't tell you because I'm not Kritika,
the one you'd actually listen to.
Alright, so tell me— when are you going to tell her?
I'm sorry to bother you.
But why haven't you posted any content in such a long time?
I was taking a mental health break.
It's all getting too much.
Refreshing all day, counting likes
and comments— I mean…
But isn't content creation
a break from real life?
So, how can you take a break from a break?
You don't even realize when the lines start to blur.
Hey! Just wait.
Maybe your experience is different.
I know it'll be better if I tell her myself.
In fact, I really want to tell her myself.
After all, it's this honesty that keeps our equation going.
But there's a risk in telling her, man.
What risk? Whose risk?
To begin with, what if she outright rejects me?
And what if our friendship breaks because of it?
How long a break did you take?
I took a one-month break.
After that, I posted my first video, but it didn't perform well.
Then I posted another video.
That one didn't do well either.
Our followers, you know,
they follow us just based on watching our 15-second videos.
So I think it's fair, right,
that they forget us so quickly?
What do you think I should do
so my followers never forget me?
Content creation is exactly like a hamster wheel, Kritika.
You really can't take a pause.
You really have to make it your priority.
Because in this industry,
we're all replaceable.
Hey, listen.
I'm sorry.
Actually, I'm really going through an identity crisis and...
No, it's okay.
But I never want to take a pause.
I don't need a break.
My career is my priority, and it always will be.
You know, this account was her lifelong dream.
And now this account has finally started to grow.
I want everything to be professionally sorted.
Only then will there be time and space for personal things.
What are you saying, bro?
According to the online world, we're already in a relationship.
Yes.
We eat together, chill together, do everything together.
Who else do we have but each other?
In a way, we're already in a relationship.
Let it be like that.
Are you convincing me or yourself?
Trust me on this. Tell her.
And what about your boyfriend?
What does he think about all this?
What's there to think? He's my best...
He's my boyfriend, so...
we'll always keep creating something together.
We'll always stay together like that.
You know what? You really need to be practical about
what you want to do.
This doesn't work on whims and fancies
that everything will stay perfect forever and all that.
You need to know
when to take a pause.
Because the control needs to be in your hands, girl.
Was that some of your generic wisdom too?
No. This is tailor-made, especially for you.
Okay?
Open.
Open the door! What's taking so long?
Please, hold meetings in the office.
Meeting at home like this is very unprofessional, Manav.
Who invited you anyway?
-I definitely didn't. -Yeah, so Kritika...
-What? -Why were you two
planning to meet without me?
It was a very important meeting.
We were going to discuss hiring a new manager.
You could be his assistant.
This way, you can slowly learn the ropes.
No, come on, I'll get better.
-Really? -He's joking.
Manav, you're impossible. You didn't even lock the door!
Oh, by the way...
Manav.
-How are you? -What's up?
-I need to talk about something important. -I also need to say something.
I'll speak first. It's very important. Okay?
-Fine. -Okay.
So, I've thought a lot
and realized that sooner or later,
whatever this is between us
is going to have to end at some point.
I mean, yeah, obviously.
We're not going to get married because of Snapgram.
And it's stupid to think that
the journey will always stay the same.
The smart move here is
to always keep the ending in your control.
-Control. -Right?
Yeah, correct.
So, this journey of ours,
is stupidity?
No, Manav.
It's not like that, but
there should be an exit, right?
And the exit should happen when
our future is completely secured. Solid.
All three.
-All three should be secured. -No need to be selfish. - Of course.
And what... what is our future?
First, I thought about money.
But then I realized that
since the cash flow has increased,
our expenses have also gone up.
So, money as a goal doesn't make sense.
Then I thought about time.
But this media and platform is so finicky
that it didn't seem right either.
So, how will we decide
if what's between us...
it's over?
I have a plan.
Amazing.
You've planned everything.
First, a big house
where we'll live for life.
And then an FD, from the interest of which our expenses will be covered.
And last but most importantly,
5 million followers.
That's the goal.
Most important. Very nice.
5 million is a good goal. That's a nice goal.
-Right? -Yes.
One second.
When your supposed breakup happens,
-then who will get this Snapgram account? -Kritika.
Kritika started all of this.
If Kritika isn't here, then what will I do with this account?
It makes sense.
Okay then. Done deal?
Done deal.
Oh, they're having a moment. Okay.
I am actually an expert in amicable breakups.
Idiot.
I'll even do this for you.
And even though I'm a fake boyfriend,
-I'm a real friend. -Sure.
Does that even need an answer?
By the way, you had something to say too, right?
Nothing important.
Okay, should we discuss?
5 million. Manav, Kritika, come quickly.
-Come quickly. -I'll order something to eat too.
So what will we do...
'My decision is right.'
Manav, my brother,
had she said refused then it would've been a rejection.
What I mean is, if you had shared your real feelings with her,
and she had said 'no, '
then it would've been a rejection, right?
Bro, she's talking about a fake relationship breakup
and here you are, scared to share your real feelings.
So a fake breakup can't lead to a real one, right?
You understand, right?
No?
Actually, it's my fault.
Whenever I try to have a serious conversation,
things end up a bit confusing.
Let's do this again.
Three, two, one.
Action.
I mean, she's talking about a fake breakup.
Not real. Not today, but in the future.
And who's seen the future, my brother?
So, I think this is a positive change.
Once she has a fake breakup,
only then will a real chance come, you know!
I don't think you should give up so quickly.
It's not over till it's over.
You're a lion!
Did you understand, or should I explain more?
Any question?
Who's that?
That's my grandmother! Darn it!
Akshat?
Yup.
Do you bring your dates to the office?
No.
It's not my office, it's a co-working space.
I just need to sign a paper and then...
-we can go to my place. -Okay.
I've seen their videos. Cute couple.
Manav and Kritika.
Yes. Manav and Kritika.
Someone mentioned them in the office.
Hold on, office...
Remind me, what do you do again?
Ad agency. In the creative department.
I'm about to direct my first ad for a chocolate brand.
I mentioned it in the chat.
All the best.
No, sorry.
Do you have your own agency?
Yeah. We usually cast actors,
but someone in the agency said we could try influencers too.
-For your ad? -Yeah.
Nice.
Is the ad you're directing going to play during the IPL?
-Yes. -Wow!
Okay. I can get you these guys for free.
Think about it. Your brand will get free visibility on their profiles and
my talents will get mainstream acceptance.
These two do anything, and the meme pages pick it up.
Think about it.
It's a win-win situation.
I'll think about it.
-Send me their showreel. -Yeah.
You know...
people like us need to stick together.
Don't manipulate me.
Let's change the topic.
Why are you staring like that?
Sorry.
For a second there, you looked like
the one who gives out golden eggs.
But a really sexy one.
You're really weird.
No, I mean, like the golden eggs...
Great story.
-You know... -The good kind of weird.
Thanks.
'Manav, Kritika, there's a surprise for you.'
'I'm sending the location, make sure to come on time tomorrow.'
-Come quickly! -Why did Akshat call us here?
Does he manage any big celebrities?
I mean, this looks like a big ad shoot.
Manav! Manav, this is our shoot!
Look, our names are written on the vanity!
Oh my God!
There must be another Kritika and Manav.
We haven't become that big yet.
-This big van and so many people here... -Manav!
Don't give me a bad trip!
Dude, this was my dream since childhood!
What? To become a heroine?
No! To become famous.
Hey! Alright! Look at you!
My ad's hero and heroine. Wow!
So good to see you. Okay, here are the scripts.
Your scripts are in here.
Remember your lines well and...
It's a big moment.
Money... Sorry, big moment for y'all.
Live it up!
Sorry, sorry.
-Is this okay? -Yes, thank you.
Thank you.
-Hi, guys. -Hello.
Did you read the script?
-Yes. -Yes.
Think of it as your vlog.
Like how you stay relaxed and chill in your videos,
we want that same attitude.
-Okay. -Okay?
Manav, you're giving your girlfriend a surprise for your anniversary.
Our brand is Choco Dairy.
We need to show that you're
making a chocolate cake for her
using the Choco Dairy melted chocolate.
Okay.
Keep everything completely natural, no acting required.
It's just you.
-Yes. -Yes.
And...
Yeah, that's it. Any doubt?
No, sir.
Okay, then I'll check the monitor, then we'll take.
-Yes. -Okay?
-All the best. -Thank you.
He's gone to check the monitor, I'll go check him out.
All the best, guys.
I'm feeling scared.
Something's happening in my stomach.
Manav, calm down.
Everything will go well, I'm telling you.
-I feel dizzy. -Look here. Listen, forget it.
Forget everything. Forget that there are lights here,
people, a camera, forget everything. Okay?
-Yes. -Look, it's our vlog, okay?
We don't need to behave like best friends,
we need to behave like girlfriend and boyfriend.
-It's so easy. -Yes.
-So easy. -It is!
Come on, this is your first line.
Do you know how much I love you?
With feelings.
-Do you know... -Manav...
Look into my eyes and say it.
Do you know
how much I love you?
Perfect.
And of course,
the way you love me
I love you much more than that, Kritika.
Manav! Perfect!
You know, that felt so real.
You both look great.
Good job, Manav.
Keep this eye contact in all the scenes.
-Brilliant job! -Thank you. - See.
I told you.
Thank you.
What should I do?
And action.
I said it, but now...
What do I do now? What expression should I give?
Manav, focus here.
Yes, sir. Sorry.
Cut it. Take it back!
-Sorry, sorry. -Manav, smile.
Should I put butter in this now?
-No... -No?
Just do it like this.
-Yes, you do it. -Ready, sir!
Ready. Let's do it once more.
-Yes, sir. -Manav, you're on this side.
Should I stay on this side? Okay, fine.
Take 20.
Action.
-Cut! -Take 32.
Come on, Manav. You can do it.
Come on, action.
-Sir, should I sit and do it? -No, cut!
-I love you. -Don't smile weirdly like that, Manav.
Take 45.
Do it after he says action.
Take 52.
-I love you so much. -Cut!
Why haven't you remembered your lines?
-You need to say the product line, sir. -The last line, Manav.
-This is Choco Dairy. -Choco Dairy.
What's the dialogue?
Someone help them with the lines!
Sorry, sir. I forgot. One second.
This is why content creators shouldn't be acting.
Cut!
Take a break, man!
Finally, did he do it?
I mean, he was doing fine.
This is the first time, he's not a professional actor.
Where is Manav by the way?
He's still under a lot of stress.
He's smoking outside.
You think I should go speak to him?
I think leave him alone for a while.
You screwed me!
Okay. Not yet.
-What happened? -Your boy can't act!
He's only doing the love moments correctly.
Everything else is absolute rubbish!
Okay, okay.
I need to sell the product!
This is how he smiles.
He looks like an idiot!
He's fumbling so much, he can't even say one line properly!
Arjun, calm down, okay!
This is my first shoot!
I can't afford any screw-ups.
We need to change the guy.
Not at all.
Sis, this isn't your Snapgram video.
It's going on TV screens.
It's going on stadium screens.
People will see your boyfriend's cardboard-like expressions
in big close-ups!
Excuse me!
He is my talent!
Please, calm down.
It's not just your first shoot, it's all of ours.
Let me think.
I've already thought, Akshat.
That guy won't be in my ad and that's final.
One second, let me make it very clear.
If Manav isn't in it, then I won't be either.
Can both of you please...
Excuse me?
What's this?
Didn't you beg me to take my talents?
Solve this!
I can't tell the brand
that I'm changing both actors on shoot day.
Okay, fine. Let me think!
I begged and all that!
Let me think.
Manav's romantic shots are coming out well.
Okay! Here's an idea.
You don't have a problem with Kritika's shots, right?
-Yes. -Manav's romantic shots are fine for you.
-Yeah. -Great.
Then why not change the narrative?
Like Kritika is celebrating.
Kritika is baking a cake, and Manav is watching her romantically.
Huh?
Now, you figure this out if you can make it work.
We'll need to talk to the brand.
But I think I can make it work.
Alright, great!
Who will tell Manav?
-I will... -There's no need to tell Manav.
Let's shoot my part first.
Later, we'll tell Manav that
during testing, the audience liked my part more.
Cheers, bro!
Guys, one really good thing happened.
My dad watches a lot of cricket with his friends.
And I have a pretty significant part in this ad.
So when this airs
he'll definitely be happy.
He'll be very happy, bro.
Who knows, he might even call.
By the way, by the end, my performance was spot on, right?
Yeah, why are you doubting?
-It was nice. -Yes.
That's good.
Congratulations.
-Arjun? -Yeah.
Now what does he want, he's already had the whole day.
I don't know. I'll go ask. Kritika, let's go ask.
Kritika, would you like something?
I'll order your favourite chicken lollipop.
Perfect.
Waiter, one chicken lollipop.
What happened?
Yeah, Arjun.
Bro, I had to tell her.
There's a lot of honesty in our relationship, so...
You know they say, right people at the wrong time.
But your right time will come.
Don't worry. Just be a little patient.
Whatever. Right people, wrong house.
Are you talking about my dad?
-Come on. -Denial.
I've placed the order.
What happened? All good?
What an asshole!
This Arjun dude.
-Yeah. -Why?
He's saying that...
He's saying that the second shoot we did...
he'll make an ad for that.
Some focus... Focus...
I'm not well-versed with this.
I don't know what he's talking about.
-Bloody weird. -No, so...
Does that mean my ad is cancelled?
I worked so hard since morning. It's all a waste?
But...
-We fought, man. Ask Kritika. -Yes.
It's not like that, I trust you guys,
but they're keeping the second one, right?
Kritika's?
Kritika's performance was flawless.
Her ad was even better.
So, it totally makes sense.
It's okay.
But your ad...
There will be plenty more.
Don't be sad, man.
Kritika's ad will air!
-Cheers to Kritika! -Cheers! -But...
-Cheers to Kritika! -Cheers to Kritika!
