'If school life is a movie, the 11th grade is the interval.'
'Chhavi had left for Kota just two weeks ago but it feels like years.'
'Everything has changed, but nothing has changed.'
'The vendor of ice slushies at the corner went to the US.'
'Now snow cones are sold there.'
'But his brother came from the village to replace him.'
Uncle, I want the blue one.
Actually, watermelon is my favorite.
'Susu.'
'Even today his color blindness'
'ignorance'
'and ignorance of color blindness are things he contends with.'
Thank you.
Oh, f**k!
Thank God you are okay, Susu.
Dhruv! Kabir!
- He looks so strange, doesn't he? - Yes, he got injured.
Has he had plastic surgery?
Look at him! He looks so different!
Kabir, are you insane? It's still our Susu!
Listen to me. Don't prank me in this manner.
- This is not a TV serial. - What?
Who got blue flowers for me?
'Kabir is still trying to prove he is a bad boy.'
Mr. Bhuller, we took a girl to hospital yesterday due to Kabir.
What?
- Teenage pregnancy? - What are you saying?
Ma'am, let me tell you. She hurled a duster at my head.
So I threw chalk at her.
It's not my fault if it went into her eye by mistake.
This is a serious matter.
Yes.
This is a very serious matter! You raised your hand on a girl!
No, I did not! I just threw chalk at her.
How can you throw chalk unless you raise your hands?
Do you think I am a fool?
Here's the chalk. Hurl it and show me.
You think I am a fool!
- No, dad. - You are a fool! - You'll hurt him.
Don't say anything.
Who do you think you are?
- 'Kabir is still not a bad boy, even today.' - Dad, no!
- Buffalo Bill! Shush! - Sorry, sorry, dad!
- Sorry, dad! No! - Shut up!
- No, no, dad! - Shut up!
Lucky Bhaiya, have you lost it?
Why did you thrash me so much?
You told me to pretend to be your dad!
My dad used to hit me even more.
'This is Lucky Bhaiya.'
'He lives in Kabir's society. He smokes cigarettes.'
'He rides a bike. He is very cool.'
'But still he hangs out kids like us.'
What was the use of bringing you?
Okay.
The point is, Kabir
from today, your Lucky Bhaiya
and your Kavita ma'am have embarked on a love story.
- No, no, no, nothing doing. - What?
I always end up as a supporting character in everyone's love story.
Now, I won't allow any other love story to carry on.
- 'He is speaking about my love story.' - Kabir!
My and Chhavi's love story.
'I know, in terms of statistics and probability, '
'long distance relationships don't work. '
'But I have always been lousy at maths.'
'And when two people share such a strong connection'
'then nothing could'
'ever go wrong between them.'
'Oh, I guess long distance does lead to a bit of out of sync, right?'
'Things will be back to normal, right?'
"The world says watch your step."
"It says to me watch your step."
"The world keeps saying it, that's what it's supposed to do."
"We are infamous for no reason."
"The world tells us to watch our step."
You know?
You students must take permission even to go to the washroom.
While we expect that you will decide
which field you will go to and which college you will go to, on your own.
That is not fair at all.
But you...
You are an exceptional case.
Critical thinking, logical reasoning.
And verbal skills. You are an all rounder.
Sir, are you sure you are looking at my tests?
There is no section for sense of humor,
otherwise I am sure you'd score there too.
Good, very good.
Now there is only one question left.
What do you want to do?
I think, politics is the right option for me.
Yes, I mean, that's one option.
Actually, sir, the fact is
when it comes to bullying people or giving some attitude
when it comes to violence, I think I can really be of service.
See, Kabir.
These sessions have another purpose, too.
We should set realistic expectations for the students.
For example, have you ever thought of accounting?
How about an airline pilot? There's tons of scope in that too.
That's the best thing. I like it.
It will give me a chance to face my fear of heights.
Or how about the army?
That is fine too.
That will give me a chance to face my fear of bullets.
There are many other options.
IT, banking, government jobs.
Programming.
See, possibilities are endless, Kabir.
I will be honest.
I am a bit confused about you, buddy.
And I think it's because you are confused too.
Yes.
I feel like there is this distance between us.
You know? Like we are disconnected.
- I feel it too. - I know.
You want to speak to me.
But, for some reason, you are not able to.
It's okay. It happens.
Let's do one thing. I will schedule another session.
Specially for you.
We will discuss details during that.
Okay?
Okay.
And Dhruv? One more thing.
'We 11th graders get a premonition that'
'someone will dole out career advice.'
'And not because he is a career counselor. Because at this point'
'every f***g person you meet is your career counselor.'
Do you have plans for the future?
This is the time to think about it, son.
What do you need to think about?
Four years of engineering, two years for an MBA.
Nothing comes out of doing engineering or an MBA degree.
- Biotechnology is the future. - Set up your own business.
I will arrange for capital.
Indian colleges are useless.
- You must get a degree from abroad. - Indian colleges
are the toughest to get into in the world, so yes.
- You have to go abroad. - Who will give you a scholarship?
Set up your own start up. I will give you the idea.
Can you do a government job?
Check out which government is in power, first.
No! E-commerce.
E-commerce is the future.
Set up your YouTube Channel.
I will arrange for the webcam.
So, have you decided on anything or not?
'But this was advice I was given for the first time.'
Dhruv, I just want you to focus on yourself for some time.
What do you like?
What do you want to do in your life? Okay?
What are you options?
Because, whatever you may choose
you will have to do it every day, for the rest of your life.
Okay?
Consider this your homework and do it.
We will manage the rest of it.
Okay?
Man, I just wanted Chhavi in my life.
I got her.
How do I invent new goals, now?
That teacher seemed off to me.
He told me, you can do whatever you want to do!
Who on earth talks like that?
Yes, he said the same thing to me.
What? Am I the only person hanging here?
Oh, man! If the family finds out, mom will kill me.
Kabir, tell me some three step process, please.
Something about 6 days to get mom in. Give me some ideas.
Oh, now you remember Kabir?
What do you mean?
You are always going to be a stupid!
Susu, please explain the subtext to him.
Dhruv.
With reference to the context, Kabir says
your long distance relationship isn't only with Chhavi.
It is going on with us, too.
What self centered friends you are!
I could not speak to Chhavi all through the day, yesterday.
And instead of helping me, you guys are being extra possessive!
Hey, you a***e!
Since the past three days, I have bowled and fielded as Jadeja.
It's not about being possessive.
Your relationship is directly affecting my health.
Yes, okay, so you need a bit of that too.
Are you body shaming me?
This is the 21st century, Dhruv!
- You can't say this... - Hey, sorry!
Sorry.
Okay, fine!
Tonight at Susu's house.
Cricket, play station, anything you guys say.
Done.
Damn!
Why hasn't he come yet?
Damn!
That's it, Susu. I've had enough.
Now we won't spare Dhruv.
And by that I mean we will let him go!
Man, you look so cute!
Sorry, focus on your class.
Dhruv!
- Did you short list colleges or not? - Yes, mom. I will do it at once.
Sorry.
Man, mom is going insane.
So tell me one thing.
Have you ever been for career counseling?
Hey, you.
What is that?
What is this?
What are you doing with that? Give it.
Listen to me.
- Susu, you rascal! - Yes?
You never told me you had such an amazing basement.
Brother, I just found out last Diwali.
Hi, Kabir sir. Hi, Susu.
Excuse me? Call me Susu sir.
Your CV is very strong.
Netflix subscription, your own self starter bike.
50 GB porn collection.
It's a bit less.
But I see your in hand pocket money makes up for it.
So, tell us, Mr. Sahil. Why do you want to be in our company?
I think that I can add a fresh perspective to this group.
I can bring something new to it.
And you know, Dhruv never had any personality as such.
It was the same old run of the mill underdog, under confident routine.
You guys need a group leader who is a bit charismatic.
- Who is cool. - One moment.
Buddy, I am the leader of this group.
This interview is for assistant to the group leader.
I thought, Dhruv was the leader of this group!
And you two were the sidekicks.
Should I kick you in the side, a***e? Get out of here.
We don't want your dad's pocket money. Get lost!
- Get out! - Get out!
Calm down. Calm down, Kabir.
B***y losers.
Next!
90 in science?
Yes.
Look, I am sorry but our cut off is 65.
Dhruvi. Nice name.
Next. Class 8 C.
Sorry, but we are looking for someone with more experience.
- Next! - Next!
What is this, Lucky Bhaiya? You are already in the gang.
Why did you come to give an interview?
I just came to ask the address.
Where does Barrister Ramesh Shirke live?
I have been slapped with 3 IPC clauses.
- Tell me. - Take the 4th left turn up ahead.
Next.
- Get lost. - Did you note that?
Kabir!
Look at the resemblance!
What's going on here?
He has the same voice!
F***s! Are you looking for my replacement?
Dhruv.
We regret to inform you that
- your performance over the... - Hey, f***k you!
At this rate, you're only getting into HR! Forget about politics.
And you? Et tu, Susu?
Okay.
Find a replacement.
Let's see who tolerates you because I quit!
Make sure the record reflects that he did not quit.
He was fired.
Next!
Copy that.
Hi.
So, page number 50
- and 25 have to be copied. - Okay.
- One moment. I will see you. - Okay.
At least you could call me after the class.
Dhruv, it's literally been five seconds since the class ended.
Anyway, this professor is slightly insane.
So don't even think of calling during his
class the next time. Please, I am serious.
There is an even bigger problem here.
Do you know what Kabir and Susu did to me?
- Chhavi, come on! - Yes, coming.
- Hello? - Okay, listen, Dhruv.
Some of us are just meeting for a group study.
As soon as it's over I will call you. Okay, bye.
Okay.
To heck with everyone.
I don't want anyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen."
"My love, my future baby mama."
Lucky Bhaiya, what are you doing here?
I found out your Kavita ma'am goes by from here on her scooty.
Daily.
What are you doing here?
I don't know.
Something has changed.
Chhavi has found new friends.
Kabir and Susu found a new Dhruv.
Everyone in school is more sorted in terms of career than me.
I mean, my life is just...
You high schoolers and your high school dramas!
This is not the time for drama! This is the time to have fun!
Do you know that?
11th grade was the best 3 years of my life.
People kept thinking about degrees, internships and the future.
And I did nothing of any consequence
wasted my time and flirted with multiple girls.
Now look at me. See where I am at?
F***k!
- You are right. - Yes.
Because of Kabir, Susu and Chhavi, I had almost forgotten about Dhruv.
- Correct. - It's time to focus on myself.
Otherwise, I will grow up to be a man listening
to a high schooler's problems by the roadside.
- Exactly. - Thank you, Lucky Bhaiya.
What just happened? What?
- Yes, and toss it like this. But... - Okay.
- Yeah! - Come on, man, do it now.
'No matter how much you think of your future'
'the present will catch up with you.'
'Dhruv!'
'You need to understand that I am in a new place.'
'I don't have a close friend semi circle like you do out here.'
'I need time to adjust and fit in.'
'And if you can't respect that, then'
'we need to have a bigger conversation.'
'Angry emoji.'
'Yeah, right.'
'Close friend semi circle.'
So, Dhruv.
How was the homework?
Well, sir...
I did a lot of research.
About colleges and courses.
I even spoke to many folks.
I think that
somehow I have become very confused now.
Sir, I know something about myself.
I am just average. Average at everything.
There are no skills, no ambition,
no hidden wildlife photography talent in me.
Even if I get pressured into going for engineering by my parents
there are 15 different versions of electrical engineering.
When I don't know the difference between BE, BTech and BSc
how can I choose a field?
And how do I do it anyway?
Should I choose the college as per the field or vice versa?
Sir, do you know what the worst part is?
The worst part is Susu!
The Susu who was asking me the meaning of urine, till last week
his life is more sorted than mine today, sir!
I am giving up!
I can't do this. All this adulting or this...
Coming of age, or whatever it is!
I just can't do this, sir! I am sorry.
S***t! Have I said too much?'
'I'm going to get scolded right away.'
Actually I should say sorry to you.
Just because the school decided there
would be career counseling this week
doesn't mean you give up on everything
and decide your entire career, within a week.
Things just take their own time.
Have you ever seen popcorn being made?
All of them are cooked together, same time, same condition.
But they all pop at different times.
So don't worry! Relax.
Let's do one thing.
I will give you my number.
You feel free to call me anytime, okay?
Oh my God, sir! You are a genius.
I will be right back!
What is this? Are you going to clear your exam by doing this?
I am sorry, sir.
'Chhavi.'
'I am sorry if I put pressure on you.'
'Just because I am sitting idle all day long'
'doesn't mean you have to leave everything and spend time with me.'
'Today I learned,'
'That things take their own time.'
'So, from today I promise...
Hey. I was just about to send you a message.
Dhruv, we need to talk.
- Listen, Dhruv Two. - Govind.
It's not as if we don't value you. Right?
- Yes. - It's just
- that our frequencies don't match, man! - Yes!
And we don't want you to be just a rebound friend.
Specially because you know it too, man.
We are too cool for you, man.
I mean, you try your best, but...
Man, you are not enough.
You were supposed to make things easier for me.
But thanks to you, it's getting to be even more difficult, Dhruv!
Chhavi, I was just going to message you that just now.
Dhruv.
I think, we should just take a break for some time.
I mean...
For a while, we should just focus on ourselves.
'Nothing has changed. But everything changed.'
- Favorite game? - Ludo.
- Favorite song? - 'Tu hi tu, satrangi re.'
- Favorite friend? - Dhruv!
All the answers are correct.
But I can't be the only one who sees this.
Something is different!
Something has changed.
Kabir.
Nothing has changed apart from the season.
By the way did you ever wonder why orange is called orange? hruv!
