I am Sayali Sanjeev and
I welcome you all to this...
...Grand Finale of Pretty Princes 2021.
[Applause]
This contest claims a special importance
in the life of every aspiring model,
as this not only gives
the winner a new identity...
...but it's a game changer
for the winner.
This contest has given us many
successful models & actors so far.
And here we present our top 10 finalists.
And the winner of
Pretty Princess 2021 is...
Juee Pagnis!
It's a pleasure to announce
that this is the fifth consecutive year,
that a girl from the same academy
has won this title.
Hence, sponsors have announced
a special award for the academy.
To give away this award,
I would like to invite...
Mr. Dhruv Joshi - CEO of Fincraft Media,
and Mrs. Amruta Rao - Film producer
and Director of Rao Group.
[Applause]
I would now like to invite
the whole and sole of VR academy...
THE Vikram Rajadhyaksha.
- Thank you, Sir!
- Congrats!
Thank you!
Hi.
Hello!
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
How dare you drop 3rd ice-cube, Dattu!
Haven't you been working here
long enough?
Vikram sir is on TV!
Now a days,
any Tom, Dick & Harry comes on TV!
Congrats! Vikram.
Thank You!
I am the biggest admirer of Vikram.
I am a big fan of his work
and his training institute.
I'm impressed not only by his academy,
but also by his grooming techniques.
I have been wanting to
work with him for last 2 years.
Vikram Sir!
I would love to work with you someday.
[Laughs]
Here!
Thank You!
Thank You!
I have been inviting
you for last two years, but-
I was a bit tied up last year,
I am travelling to Milan...
...but let's plan to meet next year,
sorry next month.
- Sure!
- Call me!
Thank you all!
I'd like to thank our judges.
I am so proud that girls from...
...my academy have been winning this
pageant for five consecutive years now.
Juee!
I am so proud of you, Congrats!
Bob Knight...
...a famous basketball coach says...
"the key is not the will to win."
"Everybody has it."
"It is the will to prepare to win!"
and that's more important.
Many say that "participation"
is more important than winning.
[Chuckles]
I beg to differ.
Each one of my girls
participates ONLY to win.
I have imbibed this
killer instinct in them...
...of course coupled
with Extreme Hardwork.
Because success without
hardwork is "By Chance"
and I don't believe in
"Living By Chance".
In fact , I don't live by chance,
I "Live By Choice".
Sir! Your dialogue!
Yes sir!
'So friends the bar is open now.'
Mere memorising my words...
won't make him "Me".
He has crossed 35 now...
...having 35 affairs doesn't
count as achievement.
I had earned 35 medals by this age.
Mind you!
There is a big difference between
popularity and cheap publicity.
Yes, sir.
Only two cubes!
Enough Vikram!
You are drunk.
It's your 5th drink.
Five years, five pegs.
Makes sense, right?
Cheers!
Saurabh!
So?
Hey! Saurabh!
Thanks! Thanks!
Hey!
Hey! Thanks!
Welcome Sir!
All bites done, finally!
[Laughs]
- Hello
- Hello!
Cheers!
Saurabh!
Twenty years since college
and see where I am today.
With a special award...
...and a special reward!
Vikram! That's enough.
We have a presentation tomorrow afternoon.
Don't underestimate him.
He used to drink the whole
bottle the previous night...
...yet could attend the
early morning lecture.
But the real motivation behind it was...
[Both laughs]
Who was she?
Richa.
Richa!
Richa Oswal.
Double malt!
What a girl!
She used to adore me!
Yea!
But, didn't she choose that
Taneja's son over you? Right?
I only broke that news to you.
That was a real breaking news then.
[Saurabh laughing]
Don't you get tired by this
sarcastic tabloid journalism?
Do some real work.
The way I do.
- Well!
- Excuse me, boys, Vikram let's go!
Excuse me, please.
It's too late...
You are drunk.
Real work, and you?
Vikram, you enrol only trained
models from affluent families,
and by merely using VR academy's branding,
you get undue credit.
You owe your page three status...
...as Godfather of Grooming to
friends in media like me.
Are you doubting my capabilities?
You are doubting my capabilities?
It's only because of my grooming...
...that my student is crowned
"Pretty Princess" for last 5 years.
You know why?
Because of my grooming.
Did you hear her answer?
"I want to solve issues faced by farmers"
Where do my girls get confidence
to give such impressive answers?
It's only because of
MY training and grooming.
The judges were just floored with this!
Well!
I promise you right here today,
that even next year my student
will win "Pretty Princess Pageant"
Mark my words.
Do you get me?
Congrats!
Thank you!
[Shevanta] Hey, you there
in that black suit?
[Security] Where are you going?
[Shevanta] Let me go!
[Security] Who is this girl?
- I won't leave that Zingya! Come out!
- Wait, don't you hear me?
Wait!
Either you call him out or let me in.
I want my money!
If I let you in, I will lose my job.
- Then you pay me.
- Why?
Better than losing your job.
Hey!
What's the problem!
That guy conned me.
He bought bouquet and
gave me this soiled note.
I want my money, that's it!
Oh!
Oh, he sold the bouquet to you!
At what price ?
What?
Do you know who he is?
Must be some misunderstanding.
No, no!
Bouquet costed Rs. 450.
I had a doubt right when
he asked me to keep the change.
He literally conned me.
Hey, don't make a scene.
Here is your money.
Why unnecessarily?
Oh, my God!
Is this the famous Beauty Pageant?
What award is this for?
That's for grooming.
He is that expert grooming trainer.
In fact he can turn
anyone into a beauty queen.
He has won the award.
What's so special in grooming?
I know how to cat-walk!
In full attitude. Isn't it?
I know it all. In our colony too,
we have a beauty contest.
I have already won it 3 times.
Take a look, my fancy look!
So? What do you say, Vikram?
Can you take a challenge to groom
such girl into Pretty Princess?
This girl?
Challenge taken.
THIS girl will be my
next year's Pretty Princess!
Hey!
What's your name?
Shevanta Tandel.
Shevanta!
You will be my Pretty Princess next year.
Oh! Forget it!
Hey, what?
Where are you going?
You think I'm joking?
I'm serious.
I, Vikram Rajadhyaksha...
...promise my friend Saurabh
right now, right here...
...that Shevanta will be
my Pretty Princess next year.
Mark my words.
Breaking news!
Vikram Rajadhyaksha
has taken up a challenge...
...to turn an ordinary florist girl
into the next Pretty Princess!
[Car honks]
'Vikram Rajadhyaksha
has taken up a challenge...'
'...to groom local florist
Into a beauty queen.'
Oh God! Vikram, you are impossible!
Babu!
Ramesh!
Babu!
Where's everyone?
[Watching Vikram's video on mobile]
'She will be my Pretty Princess next year.'
'Mark my words.
'Breaking news!'
- 'Vikram Rajadhyaksha has taken up
a challenge...' - Babu!
'...to turn an ordinary florist girl
into the next Pretty Princess!'
What the hell!
What's going on, Sushila?
You guys watching Sir's video?
Has he woken up yet?
Not yet.
He came late last night!
Oh! Really?
What a mess!
Good gossip for the media
the whole day now.
My gosh! Vikram!
Vikram!
Get up please!
Get up, Vikram! Look at the clock.
Come on!
Listen, listen
We need to speak!
What mess have you made!
Come on, please!
Get up!
Do you have any idea what
havoc that video clip has caused?
37K views already.
That's it? Just 37K?
What!
Should have been at least 1 million.
[Chuckles]
Vikram Rajadhyaksha
has won a special award.
5 of our girls have won!!
Not that one.
The one in which you took that challenge.
[Cell phone rings]
Oh God, Brigadier?
He must have seen it too, now explain.
[Dad] Morning!
[Dad] And congratulations!
Well! Not for the award,
as anyone can get it now a days...
Congratulations for that stupid challenge
you took up in front of the media.
I only hope, that you didn't accept it for
cheap publicity and while you were drunk.
Anyway, I'm proud of you.
Wish you all the best, my son!
Bye.
Do you too think that I accepted
the challenge 'coz I was drunk?
Fine!
So what?
I am Vikram Rajadhyaksha.
Nothing is impossible for me.
- So, do you really...
- Of course!
For the first time today
brigadier said he was proud of me.
I know he was being sarcastic...
...but now you will see,
I will actually make him proud.
This is all going wrong Vikram!
Let me tell Saurabh to
delete that video from all sites.
I'll manage it, don't worry.
Find that girl!
Vikram!
At any cost...
Hey! Come on! Let's agree on this price.
I can't afford!
Hey, Balya, pack these.
Put that other one also.
Don't be greedy.
Why there is shortage of Mogra
(type of flower) in the market?
It's expensive.
Let's take those cardigans
and Orchids as well.
No, no. Those flowers
are for hi-fi people.
- We don't have such customers.
- So, now?
Let's go for the Chinese rose.
It remains fresh for a long time.
What about this rose?
How much does this cost?
Behave yourself, you prick!
Don't mess with me.
My hand hits hard.
Hey! She is the same girl
from that video clip.
I'll teach you such a lesson...
Hey, you florist girl!
Hey you!
I am Shevanta Tandel.
I'm not just a florist.
I'm the Floral Queen!
Oh! I see.
Yes.
You are rich people.
I am a poor handicapped man.
Handicapped?
I mean one who doesn't have any job.
I'm always drunk and jobless.
This house runs on Shevanta's income.
If you take her away...
...you have to take care of my livelihood,
alcohol and stuff, you know!
You don't worry about that.
Let's decide an amount right away.
Say Rs. 50K till such time
Shevanta remains with us.
Ok?
Doesn't it sound less for a year?
MONTHLY!
50K per month, Mr. Hanmant! Ok?
You are not a human.
Not a human at all!
What nonsense!
You are God! Ma'am!!
[Scoffs]
Madam.
Come.
Hey!
Wine shop?
If you go to the left, wherever you
see a longest queue, that's the wine shop!
It's a gift for you.
So much?
Your regular wine shop
guy spilled all the beans.
You owed him a lot of money, right?
Don't worry, we have settled
all your debt.
So, what do you say?
Take her with you.
No problem, absolutely!
You are doing this for her wellbeing
so take her.
But mind you,
she is a bit short tempered.
Doesn't stop talking when angry.
Just like her mom.
Oh! I see.
Ok.
I need tea.
- Let's go!
- You want tea all the time
You don't think of anything else.
Oh! What's the matter here?
It's my father, I'm sure.
Was he drinking all night?
Yes, but I went home at 3 am.
You both bring this home.
Let me handle him first.
Ok.
What could be the matter, Sumi?
Why are you wasting flowers?
They are so expensive.
Akka, say something.
My dear Shevanta! You will go a long way!
It's ok, Akka!
That breaking news guy is
going to make you a beauty queen.
- Is it?
- You are going to be a star!
Oh Akka! All these drunkards are the same.
They all talk rubbish when they are drunk.
My father drinks local cheap liquor...
...and that yesterday's big shot,
must have had imported one.
That's the only difference.
Let me go, there seems to be some problem.
What a damsel!
Really! Superb!
Hey you all, get out of here!
Come on, run.
There comes my lovely daughter!
Hi!
You are the ma'am I met yesterday, right?
Yes!
Which is why so much
buzz that some damsel...
What!
Sorry..."Madam..."
Why are you here?
Coz you want to become
a beauty queen, right?
Oh! So all of that was true?
Of course!
I thought your sir was blabbering
under the influence of alcohol.
Just like my father after he is drunk!
She is funny!
Madam is here for you.
I will leave you both
to discuss things!
So, Shevanta are you all
set for the beauty pageant?
For the fourth time.
What?
I have already won the local
pageant 3 times. I told you.
You?
I can prove it.
I am Miss Fishermen's Colony,
Shevanta Tandel...
Take a look at my fancy look!
Good morning, Sir!
- Good morning, Sir!
- Good morning, Sir!
I know...
Riya, let's...
Hey! welcome, Vikram.
There is a breaking news for you.
No more breaking news, please!
[Laughs]
It's right here
Oh!
Dhruv.
What a surprise. You were
supposed to be in Milan today, right?
You are the one to surprise us all.
Come, sit!
I postponed my travel plans as
soon as I saw your breaking news go viral.
You've become,
like the godfather to the media.
How do you mean?
The way that clip has gone viral, oh!
Unimaginable!
It's all your fault. I had warned you...
I said I'm sorry!
Sorry!
Why sorry?
On the contrary, I see a
huge business opportunity here.
All telecast rights of Pretty
Princess are with my company...
Fincraft Media for the next 5 years.
This simple clip has created
such a huge media hype...
...that the advertisers are willing
to buy the ad slots for double the rate.
So I have an idea.
Why don't we encash
this unique opportunity?
If you really groom that girl...
...and if she even qualifies
for the Pretty Princess, 2022...
...imagine the media hype.
We all make money.
The show will get a huge hype.
Absolutely
And next year, this event
will be showered with sponsorships.
You just say "Yes". Then me &
my media team will manage the rest.
What do you think?
Hey! Wait! Where are you heading?
Who are you?
My name...
You...
Who are you to stop me?
Are you hitting on me?
Don't even think about it.
I will show you your place.
Hey! Slow down.
I need to inform inside
about all the visitors.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
Inform them that Shevanta Tandel
has arrived.
3 times beauty queen,
Miss Fishermen's Colony!
Take a look at my fancy look!
[Laughs]
You think it's funny?
I'll land a blow on your face.
Then you will understand.
Tell them, Shevanta has arrived.
Shevanta?
Hey! you got to wait till I....
I'll lose my job because of you.
What's the matter?
Madam...
Megha madam has called me here.
You are Shevanta, right?
It's ok. You can go!
Just give me a minute.
Hello!
Megha ma'am,
Yeah...
Ok.
Vikram! She is here.
I saw her pictures.
She is the same girl. She's already here.
OMG! Riya, just look at her.
Just watch.
What you doing?
Don't worry baby, just watch!
Good one!
Oh, Riya, OMG!
Riya, are you ok?
Hey, I am a fisherman's girl
who swims in the deep sea.
I won't drown in this shallow water.
What's going on?
Why did she push me then?
[Saurabh chuckles]
She is so crude!
Megha, just clean her up.
What, ya!
Let's go!
I'll see you!
So crude!
[Sighs]
Oh God!
It's going to be a tough
challenge for you, Vikram!
That's where his skill lies,
and he is very serious.
What say, Vikram?
Then let me sweeten it further.
If this girl wins, I will sign her as
my Brand Ambassador for the next 3 years.
And between you and me,
I will pay you Rs. 10 million per year.
Oh!
What a spacious bathroom!
It's even bigger than my house.
[Chuckles]
I have seen such bathrooms in films.
Heroines say songs while in the tub.
Not "Say" songs, but "sing" songs!
Right!
Come on! get undressed
and get into the tub!
What?
What's the matter?
Totally undress?
Yes.
I mean, you get fully
undressed while bathing?
Don't you feel shy?
What's there to feel shy?
Vikram sir has asked me
to get you ready asap.
You are aspiring to
be a beauty queen, right?
It won't work if you
keep feeling shy this way.
Come on now!
Now I get it.
What?
I have to become shameless
if I have to become a beauty queen.
By the way, you need to work on
your speech and pronunciations.
It's beauty queen.
Beyuuuti
Beautiful.
Beauuuuuutiful
Beauuuuuutiful
Vikram!
Don't I already look like a beauty queen?
Take a look at my fancy look!
There she comes.
Who?
Downmarket. See her shoes...
How will she know?
Watch the fun now.
Hey housekeeping!
Clean that up.
[Both laughs]
Hey, look what she is doing.
Stupid girl!
See the merry go round...
ringa ringa roses..
1,2....1,2 come on girls!
1, 2... 1, 2...
Don't drop your energy level.
So tacky!
Wow! Yes, yes. Come on!
Lovely! Shevanta!
So downmarket! Koliwada....
This is not your fishermen's colony...
Wow! Nice.
Awesome!
There comes the housekeeping girl!
Look at her duckwalk!
Hey, jumping monkey!!
Let me help you.
Now relax and...
[Crying]
Ma'am she has no sense
of how to use the pool.
Crudely dances
in Zumba sessions!
she has no sense
where to eat, where to sit.
Everyone's complaining about her.
- Look...
- [Vikram] Hey, Megha!
- Good Morning!
- Good morning Sir
Yes?
Let's carry on later.
So?
You say!
Dhruv has paid first
instalment of the contract.
Ok.
It's really fun working with such
professional people.
no one can stop Shevanta
from winning the beauty pageant.
My entire focus is on grooming her now.
She is...
Impossible!
She is too crude for that.
It all depends upon
how skilful the trainer is.
A good trainer can even
make a lame horse a winner.
And what if it's a donkey?
She doesn't realise what's good for her.
I'm sorry I can't train donkeys.
She has been creating havoc
since the very first day.
My academy's...
I can't compromise our academy's...
discipline for her.
No trainer is willing to train her.
All are shirkers here.
No one wants to take up a challenge.
Oh!
Forget it! I will train her myself.
Oh yes!
Where?
In her fisherman's colony?
She's already left.
That's correct!
She ran away this morning.
Don't even look at me.
I'm not going anywhere.
And if at all you get her back,
I suggest you don't keep her here
with the other students, please.
I won't tolerate any more
mess of the discipline here.
I'm saying this for the sake
of our reputation, hope you understand.
Vikram!
Vikram Sir?
Sir!
Where's Shevanta?
There she is! There...
There...
Ok, let's go!
Shevanta!
No...I will jump in the sea!
I don't want to become a beauty queen.
I belong here,
and here's where I am going to be.
I don't want any headache
for you or myself.
Girls from your academy are
so hypocrates,
it's easy to deal with
"Men" from our flower market.
At least they don't
hide their real feelings.
Academy girls are vultures,
bullies and can backstab anytime.
I am not coming back. No way.
You have guts, Shevanta!
Hats off to you, I must say!
You don't even know what
this ocean has in store for you.
Yet you are willing to jump in there.
But you ran away from my academy,
where you could see your bright future.
Just because a few girls bullied you,
you let go a lifetime opportunity?
This ocean is as good as my mother.
It has fish in it but
there aren't any aligators.
In fact your girls
are as good as aligators.
Within a day they bullied me
so much that it shattered me.
I was singled out there.
They bullied me in English
knowing that I won't understand it.
I did try to fight it out, but...
...they entangled me in their
net of "English language".
They isolated me.
I am not coming back.
They bully you because
they are insecure.
They want to scare you
away coz they very well know...
...that if you win,
they will be humiliated.
Can't you see through this?
[Clicks tongue]
I don't understand all that politics.
I won't be able to gel with them.
You please go back.
Hey, hey! Just listen!
Ok, let it be.
Why don't you teach me fishing?
Since I have come this far, thought,
I will take home some fresh catch.
It's not a child's play.
Not everyone can do it.
Why?
Why can't I do it?
Well yes, one can, but...
...one has to really work hard to learn it
and practice for about 7-8 months.
Once you practice well,
you will be a pro.
I see!
Yes
There you are, Shevanta!
You said it yourself.
Everything is achievable by practice.
Nothing can be achieved
without efforts and practice.
Look, I am willing
to groom you personally.
But you have just given up.
Come on, let's go.
But now there has been
a beef with those girls.
They won't let me in so easily again.
Don't worry.
How will they trouble you
if you don't stay with them?
Let's go!
Then where do I stay?
With me. In my house.
Mind you,
I am not the kind of girl you think.
I'm not going to share
the bedroom with you.
Listen to me.
In my house,
but in separate bedroom.
In separate bedroom. Ok?
Come!
I am going to get a special separate room?
But I won't pay rent for it.
Not a problem.
Let's go!
Room has a lock, right?
Come in!
You live alone here?
Sushila Mavshi!
Yes!
She is Sushil Mavshi.
And she is...
Shevanta, right?
Oh! You are already famous.
Ya! I saw her in the clip...
Megha madam has called her there.
No, she will be staying here.
I will speak to her.
You show her around.
Ok.
Come!
Hello!
Where is sir's room?
Upstairs.
And mine?
Ground floor.
Lock?
What?
It has a lock, right?
Oh! Of course!
Let me show you.
"A small fish from the sea
has landed up in an ocean"
"To make her own mark"
"To show the world that she
wouldn't be intimidated"
"So, do not even try"
"So, do not even try"
[Music]
"A little, cute girl"
"A bit mad, but special,"
"A girl with fire in her belly,"
"Will now make her mark"
"Happy go lucky,"
"A bit crazy, but classy,"
"Will now make her mark"
[Music]
If you're done with the food,
put it like this.
If you don't like the food,
make it cross.
Can't we talk it all
instead of the sign language?
It's much easier.
Means, this is not good,
yesterday's item was better,
Get the next course,
get something to drink. Etc?
Shevanta!
Behave yourself!

[Reciting poem incorrectly]
[Reciting poem incorrectly]
Hey! What are you up to?
Is this the way to recite a poem?
Mr. Borkar will never forgive me.
Who is Mr. Borkar?
He is a great poet who
has lyricised this poem.
I asked you to recite it so that
you improve your Marathi pronunciations.
Do you know how this
is supposed to be recited?
[Poem]
[Poem]
If its recited in your voice,
I can by heart in no time.
Sorry?
I mean, if you teach me like this,
I will learn in no time.
Really?
So you mean, if you hear poems in
MY voice, you will easily by-heart them.
Absolutely! No doubt.
Promise?
100% promise.
You can begin, I am all ears.
Very good.
I have recorded all
the poems in my voice here.
So you listen to them
for an hour every day...
What?
Poems...
So you listen to them for an hour
every day so you will master all of them.
Here. Come on.
All the best.
Hey! You too can't read Marathi?
Hey listen!
I am not fluent with Marathi coz
I have studied in Cambridge IGCSE board.
I chose French as my subject
instead of Marathi after 5th grade.
That means we both are "Shame"
What shame?
Shame to shame.
Shame to shame!
Oh okay.
It's "same" not "shame"
Oh!
So down market!
You may be more educated than me...
...but we both are "shame"
as far as Marathi is concerned.
but we both are "shame"
as far as Marathi is concerned.
We both can't read Marathi.
We are not and will never be same.
It's way too different.
You are right!
There IS a difference.
I am under Vikram Sir's "personal training"
and you are under "general training".
In other words,
I am the first-class passenger...
...and you are a third class passenger.
[Clicks tongue]
There surely IS a difference.
What a lavish place!
Bigger than our fishermen's colony!
What a classy crown!
Will it fit Shevanta?
No worries!
Whoa! What a beauty! Come on.
Let's talk to her.
We need to show a lot of attitude.
[Clears throat]
Can I help you?
Excuse me!
Hello!
Inform Vikram Sir,
that Mr. Hanmya and
Mr. Pintya are waiting for him.
Hello!
There is some Tandel here.
[Megha] Tell them I'm busy.
But...
Say, Hanmanta Sir aka Shevanta's father.
And myself, Shevanta's BFF.
Aka Best Friend Forever!
- [Door knocks]
- [Megha] Excuse me, Vikram!
He is Shevanta's father.
He wanted to meet you and only you.
What?
Please sit.
Thank you!
Myself Hanmantrao.
My dear daughter is here.
I miss her every single day!
You see, you see, I can't eat, "drink",
hence can't sleep well.
I want to see her.
The thing is, Hanmya was missing
Shevanta like anything.
More so as he ran out
of alcohol crate you gave him.
Every evening, he gets withdrawals...
I miss her, that's all!
She is busy...
...and not allowed to meet
people at her free will.
But.. my throat gets dry.
Ya.
I will let that go as it's
happening for the first time.
I don't want to see your face
for the next 3 months now...
What if I miss her again..
- Taker her back now itself if you like.
- I'm sorry.
Only because Pintya insisted I came.
- When did I say?
- Will tell you later.
One more crate would have been just fine...
since I get withdrawals!!!
Sure
When did I say?
Shevanta's dance Performance ?
Bro, don't you worry.
Leave it to me.
This is my word.
You continue as per your plan.
Ok bye.
Sir, do you have a minute for me?
Of course.
I am all yours, baby.
Why do you look so stressed?
Come here, give me a hug.
Come on, cheer up.
Tell me.
Do you really mean it, Sir?
I just overheard you talking on phone
about keeping your word or something.
I'm sure it's about Shevanta.
I don't see any sense in we continuing
here if the winner is already decided.
In fact, dad was saying if...
The winner is already announced, then
Look, half knowledge is
worse than none.
But you are training her
personally and...
...we are treated like
some third class passengers.
[Laughs]
I am and will always train you all.
What's wrong with you?
What happened to your confidence level?
You are getting insecure
coz of some uneducated girl?
Not insecure.
But since you have accepted
this as a challenge,
you will go to any
lengths to accomplish it.
It's a stunt, baby.
It's a stunt.
Can't you see it?
You are my real diamond.
How can that crude girl compete with you?
Look, she being here is to our advantage.
If a crude, uneducated girl,
like her, reaches even the semis,
there will be a tremendous media hype.
The TRP of the show
will be more than double.
And who is going to
benefit the most from this?
The winner?
And it's you.
Are you getting it?
Come on, Riya!
Oh! Really Sir?
Yess!
I'm so sorry!
Tomorrow you both
have dance performance,
so concentrate on that.
Show your skill there.

Wow! Riya, fabulous.
Wah!
Wow! Wow!
That was a superb performance, girls.
Superb!
The telecast will surely
attract superb TRP...
...and more than 10 million views
on YouTube.
Superb. Congrats, Riya.
- Thank you.
- You always perform like a winner.
Great! Great! Vikram congrats.
Of course!
Riya is known to be a professional.
You were too good.
But the real surprise...
...was Shevanta.
You were fabulous...
amazing.
Mark my words, Vikram.
This is going to be
A good underdog story.
Well done!
Hearty congrats!
Of course!
Ok, lovely, ok lovely
All the best.
Nice!
'Shevanta Tandel!'
'Now everyone will look at ONLY me!'
You know, girls, you all are my
Pretty Princesses and I'm proud of you...
Someone has said it right.
This is that, that is this.
Got it?
Who said so, Sir?
Riya, my darling!
It's not important who has said this.
That's hardly important.
Well! I actually don't even know.
Get up!
What's going on?
What's going on?
You think it's all a joke going on?
Or you think I'm a fool here?
Go!
You were right.
I AM a fool who is dreaming of making...
...this uncultured crude girl,
winner of a prestigious pageant.
It's ok. Calm down, please.
- No, it's not ok, Megha.
- Please calm down.
You were right!
One should bet on horses and not donkeys.
If one bets he himself becomes one.
Vikram, please listen to me.
She is getting us a huge windfall
of 30 million, don't forget!
- Okay?
- Ok, then!
One last chance.
LAST chance!
I won't tolerate any more insubordination.
You want to mimic me right?
Sure.
This exactly is your punishment.
you need to recite
a poem or read a para...
...from any book of your choice,
exactly the way I would.
With proper diction and pronunciations,
that too, today itself.
Or else...
Vik...
Serve the dinner, please.
Yes.
Where's Shevanta?
She left with you in the morning
and hasn't returned since.
Megha!
Vikram!
She is nowhere to be seen.
Vikram!
[Reciting poem]
[Reciting poem]
Have some juice
No, Thanks.
I won't have anything
till I by-heart the poem.
Have it.
Let me handle this.
You can go.
You have to finish this juice.
Starving is not going to help.
You should take up any challenges...
...only if you have guts
and will to work hard for it.
Finish it!
[Burping]
You are impossible.
[Reciting the poem with wrong words]
Is this a way to recite a poem?
Pay attention to the words.
[Reciting the poem with right words]
Continue...
[Reciting the poem with right words]
Happy birthday to you....
Happy birthday dear Vikram sir!
- Thank you.
- Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday Sir!
Thank you.
Happy birthday Sir!
Thank you.

Very good!
Shevanta, that was awesome,
congratulations!
Thank you!
Let's celebrate!
Sorry, I don't drink.
It's very bad.
It makes a monkey out of my father.
I have seen my father.
Shevanta! Again slang?
Come on! Cheers.
No, I don't want alcohol.
This is champagne.
You should taste all this.
By now you should know the difference
between wines, champaign, liquiors.
Don't you want to mingle in high society.
Hmm...
Here, it's called "a drink" not alcohol.
Oh! It seems my father has
always been a part of high society.
I was angry with him for no reason.
Come on, Shevanta.
Have it!
Cheers!
Cheers!
[Phone vibrating]
Yes?
Many happy returns of the day
and many more to come!
Thank you so much.
Hope you remember
the next week's party!
Yes, I do.
Bring that girl along.
Yes, Megha is joining me.
Oh not Megha.
That "breaking news" girl.
Florist girl.
Shevanta?
Yes, do bring her with you.
Enjoy your party.
Ok.
7 Years Earlier
Vikram...
I need to have a word with you.
Really?
You really want to communicate With me?
What have you decided about your career?
Look at your friends.
All are well settled.
You don't seem serious at all
in anything you take up.
Firstly, you started with literature,
then fashion designing, then music.
Every year you take up something new.
Nothing concrete.
I gave you all the freedom,
but you are taking undue advantage.
Vikram!
Say something, Vikram!
You are son of Brig. Viraj Rajadhyaksha.
Please speak up, for God's sake.
Well! being your son
has been my biggest curse.
Your aura put me in shadows.
In fact I lost my way completely.
You conveniently gave me freedom
...shrugging off your responsibility.
Instead, you should have guided me.
I understand that you
were busy at the frontier.
But did you ever think how lonely
I was after Mom passed?
Fine, fine!
Now you have taken up this grooming?
It needs a lot of discipline,
which you don't have yourself.
Why are you bent upon teaching...
what you yourself don't have?
Challenge.
That's it!
Vikram, You should
take up any challenge...
...only if you have guts and
a will work hard for it and achieve it.
Well, then thanks to you.
That now I do have guts
to dream and take up challenges.
Challenge accepted!
And now on, I too want to live
my "Life By Choice"...
NOT "By Chance".
Hey!
What's the matter?
Why are you so tense?
Hope she doesn't mess up.
Where?
At Brigadier's.
What about that?
She is specially invited there.
What?
I'm sure she is going to let me down.
Don't worry.
I will manage her there myself.
Yes, but you are not invited there.
You prick! I won't...
Hey, hey! What is this?
All my efforts on you are going waste.
What is this slang
language and behaviour?
Megha, you have to see to it
that she behaves.
I don't want any nonsense there.
We just have to get done
with the Brigadier's party.
Useless!
You are good for nothing.
You will get nowhere.
You mess up everywhere.
Again and again.
No manners, no sense.
Now forget it.
You can't even speak Marathi properly,
let alone English.
Your baseless attitude
is not going to help.
You mess up.
Again and again.
You still don't know the difference
between Champagne and spirit.
Nor can you dance salsa.
Haven't learnt even the table manners.
[Snaps finger]
Concentrate!
Shevanta, concentrate!
You need to do better.
Enough of mess ups.
Enough of messing up.
Enough of blunders.
Aren't you in love with him?
Then you have to slog
to make his dream come true.
Give your best shot.
Work for his dreams
whom you have started loving.
Put in efforts day and night.
Forget everything else.
One day he will feel for you
realising your feelings for him.
Will you feel for me?
Surely, he will!
(Navigation App lady giving directions)
This woman makes mistakes
of English and you tolerate.
And when I go wrong,
you say that I mess up!
I haven't invented that app.
Besides, who is she to me
that I scold her?
So, who am I to you anyway?
Just a challenge. Right?
Sir, the road ahead is dangerous!
What?
The board is saying so.
Let me have a look.

my life a starry night"
"I can't stop myself
from thinking about you"

"You are so alluring..."
"You are so alluring..."
"the journey of love with you is like a
fragrant, picturesque, cloudy mountain trail"
"The air around us is like
a musky evening breeze of heaven"
"I forget myself when with you,
my life a starry night"

"I can't stop myself"
"I can't stop myself
from thinking about you"
"I forget myself when with you,
my life a starry night"
Coming, coming.
Shush!!
Shush.
[Snoring]
Sir...
Oh my God!
Well! I am confused.
Who exactly is grooming whom?
Did you have traditional
costumes round or something?
How should I bless you?
"May you become a beauty queen"
Isn't it?
Sugar?
And cream?
Your grooming seems on track?
One more thing.
Don't let the milk curdle in your tea.
Stir it well while you pour.
Meaning?
I mean, you should keep stirring
while pouring the milk...
...so that it doesn't curdle.
[Laughs]
No one's judging you here.
Sit.
You're Shevanta, right?
My father has named me.
Sorry?
Shevanta is my father's favourite name.
So he has named me Shevanta.
So he has named me Shevanta.
Sorry!
[Laughs]
Anyway! You are already a princess.
Coz you have inner beauty.
This grooming etc is the packaging
only for the people to know it.
You must learn these
etiquettes and all...
...because as they say "when you are
in Rome, do as the Romans' do".
Meaning, one should follow the rules
of roaming network...
...when in that particular network.
[Laughs]
You are smart.
Good, good.
Old wisdom needs to
be understood in today's context.
You are intelligent
You talk so well!
Why can't our Godfather...
sorry Vikram sir, do the same?
Everyone has his own methods.
He is a bit short tempered and whimsical.
Once you know that he shouts at you out
of concern for you, you won't feel hurt.
Once he decides, he won't listen to anyone
till its achieved, not even his father.
He works tirelessly for his aim...
...and he won't give a damn about
what others think once he is convinced..
He not very social,
prefers to be a loner...
...exact traits of a tiger.
During his formative years, I could
never pay enough attention to him...
...that's why he has become
a loner, whimsical.
You said it so right!
How do you manage that?
Experience counts, my dear.
[Both laughs]
Come on now, go.
Get ready for the party.
Have a nice evening!
Done with your exam?
What did he say about me?
How do you know that?
Talk softly
How do you know?
That's not important.
Just remember one thing.
Whatever he told you about me,
is completely untrue.
I thought so!
He said your extremely hard working,
determined, emotionally soft etc.
I know, nothing is true.
What?
He actually said that?
What else did he say?
[Roars]
He said you were a tiger.
This is the bullet and these two people...
Capt. Bhosale and
Major Ravindra saved my life.
Angles, thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Or else God knows what
would have happened!
Good evening, Sir!
Hey, Dhruv!
- What a surprise!
- I invited him.
He is an ad man.
Meet Capt. Bhosale and Major Ravindra.
my colleagues in operation
Blue Star in eighty four and..
Oh my God! She looks like a princess!
Wow, you are looking absolutely gorgeous.
- Just couldn't recognise you.
- Thank you.
Oh my my!
Young lady you look gorgeous!
Thank you!
Shall we dance?
Really?
Of course
Sure.
[Music]
Superb, Sir!
Care for a dance?
Please!
I need a word with you.
You surprised me quite a bit.
Let's have a drink.
Vikram...
Hey Vikram.
Let's have a drink.
I need to talk to you.
They look so good together,
what do you think?
They are a perfect match for each other.
She could've been my daughter in law
if I had one more son.
Well, one has to think of
her life as well? Right?
What do you think?
Well I don't exactly where I was posted...
...my driver narrated a story of
a diver from Kanyakumari.
What story?
Story of how they extract
pearls from the ocean.
Diver said that they get all the praises
for extracting the pearls from the seabed.
He was well aware
and polite to admit...
...that he owed his respect to
the real "pearl" he found in the sea shell.
Without the "pearl",
he would be worthless.
True its logical.
Because that pearl changes his life.
But unfortunately,
all divers don't realise this.
All divers don't realise this logic!
Waiter!
Please call the man in beard there.
The one who is dancing.
Okay, sir.
Sir is calling you.
Do you mind if I?
- Ya, sure.
- Thanks!
Excuse me.
[Sniffs]
Someone seems to be feeling jealous!!!
Tomorrow morning,
I need Vikram here.
We need to see a plot of land.
Can you give a ride
to this girl back to Mumbai?
Of course!
Why would I be jealous?
All I mean is that...
...you need to use your discretion
while dealing with people.
Oh really?
Like what?
I mean...
...you don't have to hug...
...or give a peck to everyone.
Ok!
Well! I thought you will actually
appreciate my etiquettes.
By the way, you only asked me
to behave like Megha, remember?
Forget that.
You and Megha are different for me.
But it was you who
stressed upon following...
...the high society
party manners like her.
You are missing the point.
Don't you realise what I am trying to say?
I do.
What?
I can sense that someone is troubling you.
Who?
Him there, Dhruv!
Ya! That's a deal!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
You passed in all tests, my dear!
Remember, if you win hearts of the people,
you can be on top of the world.
And you are the winner!
All the best.
You have my cell no.
Don't hesitate to call me
whenever you need to speak.
All right?
See you.
I'll take your leave.
Ya!
Bid Adieu to her!
Well they look so good together.
I think even Dhruv is falling for her.
Vikram, why don't you
put in a word to him?
Her life will get set with him.
Where are you heading?
We need to see the land.
Something has come up suddenly.
Land can wait.
Has it?
Yeah.
I realise it exactly.
So now you may need to rush
back to Mumbai, right?
That's right.
Ok. Drive safe.
Don't chase the cars on the way.
Sorry?
Anyway, I need to go.
Dattu, have you taken the bags?
Yes.
Vikram, take just the bags
leave the baggage behind.
Let's go, Sir.
You sit at the rear, I will drive.
Sir?
[Horn blares]
I don't think we can catch up
to the speed of Dhruv Sir's new Audi.
Keep quiet.
Our car is no less.
Just wait and watch.
His is a new car.
Latest model.
Dhruv sir really drives fast you know.
Sir!
So, what's your favourite music?
Hey! Shevanta!
- [Horn blares]
There he comes!
That's an old song.
I may not have it.
Any other song I can play?
Tea.
I want to have tea.
Let's halt for a cup of tea.
Sure! As you please!
Your wish is my command!
Nice.
Lovely ambiance!
All good?
Yeah!
Beautiful! Good look and feel.
Absolutely!
Tea, right?
Or coffee?
Tea.
Two special teas please!
You got it!
Two teas.
This is great!
Please have a...
Hi!
Vikram, what a surprise!
You were to come later.
Yeah...
Some miscommunication.
I realised, I have to go
to a designer's studio with Shevanta.
I can take her there
if you give me the address.
No, thanks!
Actually, we both need to be there.
I need to speak about some sponsorship
and Shevanta needs to be there.
Let's go, Shevanta.
Tea is just coming.
You could leave after tea.
- Shevanta...
- Yeah.
Come on! Bye, Dhruv!
But!! Tea...
[Sighs]
What's the matter?
I am missing my father.
Especially after meeting yours.
It's his birthday today.
Don't tell me you need to go see him.
What about Pretty Princess Pageant?
Sir!
Just kidding.
You can take just half a day off.
Pretty Princess Pageant
is just around the corner.
Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday to Sir Hanmantrao Tandel!
Happy Birthday!
Come, celebrate with me.
Cheers!
Here I am, Hanmya Sir!
To celebrate your birthday.
I have a small gift for you.
Happy Birthday, Sir!
Cheers!
No more cheers.
All this will end within a month now.
Shevanta will come back then. After that,
I can't have this imported liquior.
Let me learn to be
without it right from now.
Shall we start having
the local alcohol like before?
But if she wins the contest, you
don't have to give up the imported one.
Who's come?
Who's come here this late?
Let's see.
My daughter!
My daughter has come!
My dear father!
- Careful!
- My dear father!
You look like a filmstar already.
Hey, these kind of attire
is fine in high society...
not here.
I need to speak to you heart to heart.
Let's sit!
I knew my girl would come for my birthday.
I don't like it here without you.
I won't lie.
I allowed you to go there...
...because I was getting money
to settle all my debts.
Which is why I consented
for you to go there.
[Crying]
But in the bargain, I became lonely.
Even those people stopped coming
to whom I owed money.
Dad!
Your father became completely lonely.
It's ok! I brought something
for you on your birthday.
A gift on your birthday.
Happy Birthday!
Let me see!
Wow! This is scotch.
A real classy stuff.
Is it from Vikram Sir?
No, no this is from me!
What?
You?
Something is wrong.
Now what?
I can't believe this.
You were the one who cursed me
for alcoholism all my life.
Now you yourself are
getting a bottle for me?
I always felt like giving up alcohol
at least for your sake.
Now YOU only are gifting me alcohol?
This is all going wrong.
Completely wrong.
Enough, Dad!
I don't want anything.
I only want my daughter back.
I don't want you to stay
in that camouflaged world.
I only want my daughter back.
Your daughter is always with you.
She is not going anywhere.
Nothing doing!
I am giving up alcohol
today right here, right now!
Dad...
I am sorry...
'I don't want you to stay
in that camouflaged world.'
'It's a stunt baby.'
'You are my real diamond.'
'How can that crude girl
compete with you?'
'One should bet on horses
not on donkeys'
'She is getting us a huge windfall
of 30 million, don't forget!'
'What is this crude
language and behaviour?'
'Stupid!'
'Vikram? He dumps everyone
after using just once.'
'Put your hands together
for Pretty Princess 2022,'
'Miss Riya!'
[Gasps]
Today's session was
Really special for all of us.
Not that we did anything different
than the usual, but it was more intense.
This session was different
in the sense that...
...from tomorrow we are
all going to be on our own.
You all are capable of being a winner.
Remember, you are competing with yourself.
While doing ramp walk, do it
in the way it suits your personality.
You have only a minute
to answer the question.
Judges would be convinced
with only an honest answer.
So just concentrate and
focus on your own performance,
give your best and once you do this,
I am sure you will succeed one day.
Each one of you is the winner for me.
But only that girl who will
be able to convince the judges...
...she will win the Pageant.
No one will defy me...
...no one will define me...
...and no one will tell me
who and what I am and can be.
Belief will change the world.
[Applause]
So here we go!
Welcome to the Grand Finale of
Pretty Princess 2022.

Mayuri
Some blunder.
And our fifth finalist is...
- 5th one is confirmed.
- Hold your breath....
Ladies and Gentlemen,
our 5th finalist is...
Shevanta.
Whooo!
Wow, Vikram.
Very good!
Hi! Congrats for getting in the top 5.
Congratulations to you too!
You know what, Dhruv is signing
a contract with Vikram Sir. For me.
Instead of you.
What?
Don't believe me?
Wait.
Watch this.
Who is this Shevanta?
You practically picked her up
from a dustbin, from a shithole.
That crude, idiot girl.
Vikram, I must say,
you are a real actor.
Your acting of falling in love,
for that 30 million contract,
Really conned her, hats off to you!
She is like, "best out of waste"
craft project at school.
Such idiots are always thrown away
and not brought home.
But that idiot,
crude girl won't understand your tricks.
She doesn't deserve
to be even seen with you.
Shevanta, you are next.
Come fast.
- No doubt.
- Absolutely!
She is here.
What's wrong with her?
[Indistinct murmuring]
Hello!
I am Shevanta Tandel.
I thank everyone.
Excuse me! Just a sec.
Wait.
What's going on?
I am sorry but
these costumes and...
this dialect...
is this ok, judges?
Let her speak.
We will see later.
Ok. I'm sorry.
Please continue.
My mother spoke in this dialect.
So, this is my mother tongue
and I am not ashamed of it.
Dialect and Language is only the
means to convey our emotions and culture.
So, there is nothing right or wrong.
It all depends upon one's value system.
If the value system itself is bad,
Whichever dilect/language,
one would remain crude.
Say, if I actually win this pageant.
What will I get next?
A big modelling contract?
There I will just be a puppet...
...in the hands of sponsors, ad agencies...
I'll have to dance to their tunes.
That's what a woman's
life has always been.
She is always a slave
in this male dominated society,
irrespective of which
social strata she belongs.
In the lowest strata she is physically
abused after consuming cheap liquior...
while in the affluent society,
after consuming single malts,
she is emotionally tortured.
What are the previous
winners of this contest doing today?
Did anyone really attempt to solve farmer
issues or work towards world peace...
...or "meaningfully contribute"
to social causes as promised?
Most of them are either
modelling in skimpy clothes...
...or acting and dancing in films.
Why do they need girls in revealing clothes
in advts for mens' products?
Be it advts for their vests,
shaving gel, perfumes
or even for advts of mens' underwear...
they need women in skimpy clothes?
I don't see a point in
winning a beauty pageant...
...in such a male dominated society
which only objectifies women.
I am grateful to Vikram Sir for his tireless
efforts to get me where I am today.
Some people say to him
he did "best out of the waste"
craft project.
and waste needs to be thrown away
and not brought home.
Right, Vikram Sir?
He taught me etiquettes, manners...
...but the family value system,
I already had learned from my family.
No doubt, he has taken a lot of
efforts for grooming me.
Fisherman can boast
his fishing skills...
but if his fishing net is not
strong enough, can he catch any fish?
All these girls have
taken tremendous efforts...
...they all have reached this
stage only because of their talent...
...and hard work.
So, Godfather Sir?
Didn't you see the efforts I took only
to fulfil the challenge that you took?
Why?
You think this ordinary
florist girl can't speak fluently?
Over last 1 year, even I have learnt
from the audio books.
It's all due to hard work...
...thanks to Vikram Sir, that this girl
from a shithole is standing here today.
Sorry Vikram Sir...
I am UNEDUCATED
but certainly not an IDIOT.
And you know why?
...because I have money meant...
... for my education being gulped
by my father every evening in alcohol.
When I met you Vikram Sir...
...I was just a florist.
And today...
...I can't even become a florist now...
...you have left me halfway
at such a juncture...
...which has a dead end
and doesn't even have a U turn.
[Crying]
After today, I can't even sell flowers.
But now I have decided...
...as my beloved Godfather
and his father Brigadier would say,
I will live my "Life By Choice"
and not "By Chance."
Where is she?
[Clapping]
What's the matter?
I have come back defeated, Dad!
Your little girl has failed.
You were so right.
That world is a big lie.
Full of hypocrites.
Nothing and no one is genuine and real.
But, I loved him wholeheartedly,
but he turned out to be heartless.
He didn't have a real heart.
I have become a popper
in a true sense today.
Lost her heart too.
[Crying]
Hello, I'm Saurabh.
And have a breaking news for you!
This is exceptional
that we are here straight...
...from the Pretty Princess
contest auditorium.
We are live from the
fishermen's colony here.
We have here with us Shevanta Tandel,
one of the top 5 finalists.
We have our host Sayali,
and the judges too.
So, Sayali, who do you think
is the winner?
It will be revealed in some time.
Any clue?
The organising committee and the judges
have jointly given a statement.
I would like to read it to you all.
This is exclusive on our channel.
Yes!
When this contest
was originally conceived,
the inner talent and the physical
appearance had equal weightage.
Even particular dialects or expensive
designer outfits, were not mandatory.
As the times changed,
any dialect in Marathi language
should be eligible,
there were no rules regarding
costumes and evening gowns,
even now they are not mandatory.
Can I say something?
Yes, Please!
Most importantly,
beyond dialects and costumes,
apart from physical appearance and beauty,
she should have kind heart,
elegant personality
and good value system.
In fact, today Shevanta's
thoughts have been an eyeopener.
So, based on these parameters...
...we unanimously announce
the winner of Pretty Princess 2022...
...to be Shevanta Tandel.
Yo! Hanmya Sir!
You did it, Shevanta!
Go!
See...
But Dad, I didn't win
what I really worked for.
Riya!
I'm sorry, Shevanta.
I should have shown you
the complete video.
You need to know this.
These illiterates don't deserve...
That's enough!
Just because you are my friend,
I've been tolerating your blabber.
I'm only incidental, in fact,
this girl is a gem.
I have been grooming all these girls
for last several years now.
She took just a year to achieve
what the others take 5-6 years.
And one can't turn stone into a diamond,
there has to be a raw
diamond at the first place.
Most importantly,
she is not greedy.
She doesn't expect anything.
She took all these efforts,
suffered my anger...
...just so that I could
meet the challenge I took up.
She loves me to no ends...
...truly she has won my heart.
I tried to groom her,
but in fact, she transformed me
into a human being.
I haven't done anything like
"best out of the waste",
but she is the one
who cleared dirt from my mind.
Thanks Shevanta.

I am Sayali Sanjeev and
I welcome you all to this...
...Grand Finale of Pretty Princes 2021.
[Applause]
This contest claims a special importance
in the life of every aspiring model,
as this not only gives
the winner a new identity...
...but it's a game changer
for the winner.
This contest has given us many
successful models & actors so far.
And here we present our top 10 finalists.
And the winner of
Pretty Princess 2021 is...
Juee Pagnis!
It's a pleasure to announce
that this is the fifth consecutive year,
that a girl from the same academy
has won this title.
Hence, sponsors have announced
a special award for the academy.
To give away this award,
I would like to invite...
Mr. Dhruv Joshi - CEO of Fincraft Media,
and Mrs. Amruta Rao - Film producer
and Director of Rao Group.
[Applause]
I would now like to invite
the whole and sole of VR academy...
THE Vikram Rajadhyaksha.
- Thank you, Sir!
- Congrats!
Thank you!
Hi.
Hello!
Thank you so much!
Thank you!
How dare you drop 3rd ice-cube, Dattu!
Haven't you been working here
long enough?
Vikram sir is on TV!
Now a days,
any Tom, Dick & Harry comes on TV!
Congrats! Vikram.
Thank You!
I am the biggest admirer of Vikram.
I am a big fan of his work
and his training institute.
I'm impressed not only by his academy,
but also by his grooming techniques.
I have been wanting to
work with him for last 2 years.
Vikram Sir!
I would love to work with you someday.
[Laughs]
Here!
Thank You!
Thank You!
I have been inviting
you for last two years, but-
I was a bit tied up last year,
I am travelling to Milan...
...but let's plan to meet next year,
sorry next month.
- Sure!
- Call me!
Thank you all!
I'd like to thank our judges.
I am so proud that girls from...
...my academy have been winning this
pageant for five consecutive years now.
Juee!
I am so proud of you, Congrats!
Bob Knight...
...a famous basketball coach says...
"the key is not the will to win."
"Everybody has it."
"It is the will to prepare to win!"
and that's more important.
Many say that "participation"
is more important than winning.
[Chuckles]
I beg to differ.
Each one of my girls
participates ONLY to win.
I have imbibed this
killer instinct in them...
...of course coupled
with Extreme Hardwork.
Because success without
hardwork is "By Chance"
and I don't believe in
"Living By Chance".
In fact , I don't live by chance,
I "Live By Choice".
Sir! Your dialogue!
Yes sir!
'So friends the bar is open now.'
Mere memorising my words...
won't make him "Me".
He has crossed 35 now...
...having 35 affairs doesn't
count as achievement.
I had earned 35 medals by this age.
Mind you!
There is a big difference between
popularity and cheap publicity.
Yes, sir.
Only two cubes!
Enough Vikram!
You are drunk.
It's your 5th drink.
Five years, five pegs.
Makes sense, right?
Cheers!
Saurabh!
So?
Hey! Saurabh!
Thanks! Thanks!
Hey!
Hey! Thanks!
Welcome Sir!
All bites done, finally!
[Laughs]
- Hello
- Hello!
Cheers!
Saurabh!
Twenty years since college
and see where I am today.
With a special award...
...and a special reward!
Vikram! That's enough.
We have a presentation tomorrow afternoon.
Don't underestimate him.
He used to drink the whole
bottle the previous night...
...yet could attend the
early morning lecture.
But the real motivation behind it was...
[Both laughs]
Who was she?
Richa.
Richa!
Richa Oswal.
Double malt!
What a girl!
She used to adore me!
Yea!
But, didn't she choose that
Taneja's son over you? Right?
I only broke that news to you.
That was a real breaking news then.
[Saurabh laughing]
Don't you get tired by this
sarcastic tabloid journalism?
Do some real work.
The way I do.
- Well!
- Excuse me, boys, Vikram let's go!
Excuse me, please.
It's too late...
You are drunk.
Real work, and you?
Vikram, you enrol only trained
models from affluent families,
and by merely using VR academy's branding,
you get undue credit.
You owe your page three status...
...as Godfather of Grooming to
friends in media like me.
Are you doubting my capabilities?
You are doubting my capabilities?
It's only because of my grooming...
...that my student is crowned
"Pretty Princess" for last 5 years.
You know why?
Because of my grooming.
Did you hear her answer?
"I want to solve issues faced by farmers"
Where do my girls get confidence
to give such impressive answers?
It's only because of
MY training and grooming.
The judges were just floored with this!
Well!
I promise you right here today,
that even next year my student
will win "Pretty Princess Pageant"
Mark my words.
Do you get me?
Congrats!
Thank you!
[Shevanta] Hey, you there
in that black suit?
[Security] Where are you going?
[Shevanta] Let me go!
[Security] Who is this girl?
- I won't leave that Zingya! Come out!
- Wait, don't you hear me?
Wait!
Either you call him out or let me in.
I want my money!
If I let you in, I will lose my job.
- Then you pay me.
- Why?
Better than losing your job.
Hey!
What's the problem!
That guy conned me.
He bought bouquet and
gave me this soiled note.
I want my money, that's it!
Oh!
Oh, he sold the bouquet to you!
At what price ?
What?
Do you know who he is?
Must be some misunderstanding.
No, no!
Bouquet costed Rs. 450.
I had a doubt right when
he asked me to keep the change.
He literally conned me.
Hey, don't make a scene.
Here is your money.
Why unnecessarily?
Oh, my God!
Is this the famous Beauty Pageant?
What award is this for?
That's for grooming.
He is that expert grooming trainer.
In fact he can turn
anyone into a beauty queen.
He has won the award.
What's so special in grooming?
I know how to cat-walk!
In full attitude. Isn't it?
I know it all. In our colony too,
we have a beauty contest.
I have already won it 3 times.
Take a look, my fancy look!
So? What do you say, Vikram?
Can you take a challenge to groom
such girl into Pretty Princess?
This girl?
Challenge taken.
THIS girl will be my
next year's Pretty Princess!
Hey!
What's your name?
Shevanta Tandel.
Shevanta!
You will be my Pretty Princess next year.
Oh! Forget it!
Hey, what?
Where are you going?
You think I'm joking?
I'm serious.
I, Vikram Rajadhyaksha...
...promise my friend Saurabh
right now, right here...
...that Shevanta will be
my Pretty Princess next year.
Mark my words.
Breaking news!
Vikram Rajadhyaksha
has taken up a challenge...
...to turn an ordinary florist girl
into the next Pretty Princess!
[Car honks]
'Vikram Rajadhyaksha
has taken up a challenge...'
'...to groom local florist
Into a beauty queen.'
Oh God! Vikram, you are impossible!
Babu!
Ramesh!
Babu!
Where's everyone?
[Watching Vikram's video on mobile]
'She will be my Pretty Princess next year.'
'Mark my words.
'Breaking news!'
- 'Vikram Rajadhyaksha has taken up
a challenge...' - Babu!
'...to turn an ordinary florist girl
into the next Pretty Princess!'
What the hell!
What's going on, Sushila?
You guys watching Sir's video?
Has he woken up yet?
Not yet.
He came late last night!
Oh! Really?
What a mess!
Good gossip for the media
the whole day now.
My gosh! Vikram!
Vikram!
Get up please!
Get up, Vikram! Look at the clock.
Come on!
Listen, listen
We need to speak!
What mess have you made!
Come on, please!
Get up!
Do you have any idea what
havoc that video clip has caused?
37K views already.
That's it? Just 37K?
What!
Should have been at least 1 million.
[Chuckles]
Vikram Rajadhyaksha
has won a special award.
5 of our girls have won!!
Not that one.
The one in which you took that challenge.
[Cell phone rings]
Oh God, Brigadier?
He must have seen it too, now explain.
[Dad] Morning!
[Dad] And congratulations!
Well! Not for the award,
as anyone can get it now a days...
Congratulations for that stupid challenge
you took up in front of the media.
I only hope, that you didn't accept it for
cheap publicity and while you were drunk.
Anyway, I'm proud of you.
Wish you all the best, my son!
Bye.
Do you too think that I accepted
the challenge 'coz I was drunk?
Fine!
So what?
I am Vikram Rajadhyaksha.
Nothing is impossible for me.
- So, do you really...
- Of course!
For the first time today
brigadier said he was proud of me.
I know he was being sarcastic...
...but now you will see,
I will actually make him proud.
This is all going wrong Vikram!
Let me tell Saurabh to
delete that video from all sites.
I'll manage it, don't worry.
Find that girl!
Vikram!
At any cost...
Hey! Come on! Let's agree on this price.
I can't afford!
Hey, Balya, pack these.
Put that other one also.
Don't be greedy.
Why there is shortage of Mogra
(type of flower) in the market?
It's expensive.
Let's take those cardigans
and Orchids as well.
No, no. Those flowers
are for hi-fi people.
- We don't have such customers.
- So, now?
Let's go for the Chinese rose.
It remains fresh for a long time.
What about this rose?
How much does this cost?
Behave yourself, you prick!
Don't mess with me.
My hand hits hard.
Hey! She is the same girl
from that video clip.
I'll teach you such a lesson...
Hey, you florist girl!
Hey you!
I am Shevanta Tandel.
I'm not just a florist.
I'm the Floral Queen!
Oh! I see.
Yes.
You are rich people.
I am a poor handicapped man.
Handicapped?
I mean one who doesn't have any job.
I'm always drunk and jobless.
This house runs on Shevanta's income.
If you take her away...
...you have to take care of my livelihood,
alcohol and stuff, you know!
You don't worry about that.
Let's decide an amount right away.
Say Rs. 50K till such time
Shevanta remains with us.
Ok?
Doesn't it sound less for a year?
MONTHLY!
50K per month, Mr. Hanmant! Ok?
You are not a human.
Not a human at all!
What nonsense!
You are God! Ma'am!!
[Scoffs]
Madam.
Come.
Hey!
Wine shop?
If you go to the left, wherever you
see a longest queue, that's the wine shop!
It's a gift for you.
So much?
Your regular wine shop
guy spilled all the beans.
You owed him a lot of money, right?
Don't worry, we have settled
all your debt.
So, what do you say?
Take her with you.
No problem, absolutely!
You are doing this for her wellbeing
so take her.
But mind you,
she is a bit short tempered.
Doesn't stop talking when angry.
Just like her mom.
Oh! I see.
Ok.
I need tea.
- Let's go!
- You want tea all the time
You don't think of anything else.
Oh! What's the matter here?
It's my father, I'm sure.
Was he drinking all night?
Yes, but I went home at 3 am.
You both bring this home.
Let me handle him first.
Ok.
What could be the matter, Sumi?
Why are you wasting flowers?
They are so expensive.
Akka, say something.
My dear Shevanta! You will go a long way!
It's ok, Akka!
That breaking news guy is
going to make you a beauty queen.
- Is it?
- You are going to be a star!
Oh Akka! All these drunkards are the same.
They all talk rubbish when they are drunk.
My father drinks local cheap liquor...
...and that yesterday's big shot,
must have had imported one.
That's the only difference.
Let me go, there seems to be some problem.
What a damsel!
Really! Superb!
Hey you all, get out of here!
Come on, run.
There comes my lovely daughter!
Hi!
You are the ma'am I met yesterday, right?
Yes!
Which is why so much
buzz that some damsel...
What!
Sorry..."Madam..."
Why are you here?
Coz you want to become
a beauty queen, right?
Oh! So all of that was true?
Of course!
I thought your sir was blabbering
under the influence of alcohol.
Just like my father after he is drunk!
She is funny!
Madam is here for you.
I will leave you both
to discuss things!
So, Shevanta are you all
set for the beauty pageant?
For the fourth time.
What?
I have already won the local
pageant 3 times. I told you.
You?
I can prove it.
I am Miss Fishermen's Colony,
Shevanta Tandel...
Take a look at my fancy look!
Good morning, Sir!
- Good morning, Sir!
- Good morning, Sir!
I know...
Riya, let's...
Hey! welcome, Vikram.
There is a breaking news for you.
No more breaking news, please!
[Laughs]
It's right here
Oh!
Dhruv.
What a surprise. You were
supposed to be in Milan today, right?
You are the one to surprise us all.
Come, sit!
I postponed my travel plans as
soon as I saw your breaking news go viral.
You've become,
like the godfather to the media.
How do you mean?
The way that clip has gone viral, oh!
Unimaginable!
It's all your fault. I had warned you...
I said I'm sorry!
Sorry!
Why sorry?
On the contrary, I see a
huge business opportunity here.
All telecast rights of Pretty
Princess are with my company...
Fincraft Media for the next 5 years.
This simple clip has created
such a huge media hype...
...that the advertisers are willing
to buy the ad slots for double the rate.
So I have an idea.
Why don't we encash
this unique opportunity?
If you really groom that girl...
...and if she even qualifies
for the Pretty Princess, 2022...
...imagine the media hype.
We all make money.
The show will get a huge hype.
Absolutely
And next year, this event
will be showered with sponsorships.
You just say "Yes". Then me &
my media team will manage the rest.
What do you think?
Hey! Wait! Where are you heading?
Who are you?
My name...
You...
Who are you to stop me?
Are you hitting on me?
Don't even think about it.
I will show you your place.
Hey! Slow down.
I need to inform inside
about all the visitors.
- Is that so?
- Yes.
Inform them that Shevanta Tandel
has arrived.
3 times beauty queen,
Miss Fishermen's Colony!
Take a look at my fancy look!
[Laughs]
You think it's funny?
I'll land a blow on your face.
Then you will understand.
Tell them, Shevanta has arrived.
Shevanta?
Hey! you got to wait till I....
I'll lose my job because of you.
What's the matter?
Madam...
Megha madam has called me here.
You are Shevanta, right?
It's ok. You can go!
Just give me a minute.
Hello!
Megha ma'am,
Yeah...
Ok.
Vikram! She is here.
I saw her pictures.
She is the same girl. She's already here.
OMG! Riya, just look at her.
Just watch.
What you doing?
Don't worry baby, just watch!
Good one!
Oh, Riya, OMG!
Riya, are you ok?
Hey, I am a fisherman's girl
who swims in the deep sea.
I won't drown in this shallow water.
What's going on?
Why did she push me then?
[Saurabh chuckles]
She is so crude!
Megha, just clean her up.
What, ya!
Let's go!
I'll see you!
So crude!
[Sighs]
Oh God!
It's going to be a tough
challenge for you, Vikram!
That's where his skill lies,
and he is very serious.
What say, Vikram?
Then let me sweeten it further.
If this girl wins, I will sign her as
my Brand Ambassador for the next 3 years.
And between you and me,
I will pay you Rs. 10 million per year.
Oh!
What a spacious bathroom!
It's even bigger than my house.
[Chuckles]
I have seen such bathrooms in films.
Heroines say songs while in the tub.
Not "Say" songs, but "sing" songs!
Right!
Come on! get undressed
and get into the tub!
What?
What's the matter?
Totally undress?
Yes.
I mean, you get fully
undressed while bathing?
Don't you feel shy?
What's there to feel shy?
Vikram sir has asked me
to get you ready asap.
You are aspiring to
be a beauty queen, right?
It won't work if you
keep feeling shy this way.
Come on now!
Now I get it.
What?
I have to become shameless
if I have to become a beauty queen.
By the way, you need to work on
your speech and pronunciations.
It's beauty queen.
Beyuuuti
Beautiful.
Beauuuuuutiful
Beauuuuuutiful
Vikram!
Don't I already look like a beauty queen?
Take a look at my fancy look!
There she comes.
Who?
Downmarket. See her shoes...
How will she know?
Watch the fun now.
Hey housekeeping!
Clean that up.
[Both laughs]
Hey, look what she is doing.
Stupid girl!
See the merry go round...
ringa ringa roses..
1,2....1,2 come on girls!
1, 2... 1, 2...
Don't drop your energy level.
So tacky!
Wow! Yes, yes. Come on!
Lovely! Shevanta!
So downmarket! Koliwada....
This is not your fishermen's colony...
Wow! Nice.
Awesome!
There comes the housekeeping girl!
Look at her duckwalk!
Hey, jumping monkey!!
Let me help you.
Now relax and...
[Crying]
Ma'am she has no sense
of how to use the pool.
Crudely dances
in Zumba sessions!
she has no sense
where to eat, where to sit.
Everyone's complaining about her.
- Look...
- [Vikram] Hey, Megha!
- Good Morning!
- Good morning Sir
Yes?
Let's carry on later.
So?
You say!
Dhruv has paid first
instalment of the contract.
Ok.
It's really fun working with such
professional people.
no one can stop Shevanta
from winning the beauty pageant.
My entire focus is on grooming her now.
She is...
Impossible!
She is too crude for that.
It all depends upon
how skilful the trainer is.
A good trainer can even
make a lame horse a winner.
And what if it's a donkey?
She doesn't realise what's good for her.
I'm sorry I can't train donkeys.
She has been creating havoc
since the very first day.
My academy's...
I can't compromise our academy's...
discipline for her.
No trainer is willing to train her.
All are shirkers here.
No one wants to take up a challenge.
Oh!
Forget it! I will train her myself.
Oh yes!
Where?
In her fisherman's colony?
She's already left.
That's correct!
She ran away this morning.
Don't even look at me.
I'm not going anywhere.
And if at all you get her back,
I suggest you don't keep her here
with the other students, please.
I won't tolerate any more
mess of the discipline here.
I'm saying this for the sake
of our reputation, hope you understand.
Vikram!
Vikram Sir?
Sir!
Where's Shevanta?
There she is! There...
There...
Ok, let's go!
Shevanta!
No...I will jump in the sea!
I don't want to become a beauty queen.
I belong here,
and here's where I am going to be.
I don't want any headache
for you or myself.
Girls from your academy are
so hypocrates,
it's easy to deal with
"Men" from our flower market.
At least they don't
hide their real feelings.
Academy girls are vultures,
bullies and can backstab anytime.
I am not coming back. No way.
You have guts, Shevanta!
Hats off to you, I must say!
You don't even know what
this ocean has in store for you.
Yet you are willing to jump in there.
But you ran away from my academy,
where you could see your bright future.
Just because a few girls bullied you,
you let go a lifetime opportunity?
This ocean is as good as my mother.
It has fish in it but
there aren't any aligators.
In fact your girls
are as good as aligators.
Within a day they bullied me
so much that it shattered me.
I was singled out there.
They bullied me in English
knowing that I won't understand it.
I did try to fight it out, but...
...they entangled me in their
net of "English language".
They isolated me.
I am not coming back.
They bully you because
they are insecure.
They want to scare you
away coz they very well know...
...that if you win,
they will be humiliated.
Can't you see through this?
[Clicks tongue]
I don't understand all that politics.
I won't be able to gel with them.
You please go back.
Hey, hey! Just listen!
Ok, let it be.
Why don't you teach me fishing?
Since I have come this far, thought,
I will take home some fresh catch.
It's not a child's play.
Not everyone can do it.
Why?
Why can't I do it?
Well yes, one can, but...
...one has to really work hard to learn it
and practice for about 7-8 months.
Once you practice well,
you will be a pro.
I see!
Yes
There you are, Shevanta!
You said it yourself.
Everything is achievable by practice.
Nothing can be achieved
without efforts and practice.
Look, I am willing
to groom you personally.
But you have just given up.
Come on, let's go.
But now there has been
a beef with those girls.
They won't let me in so easily again.
Don't worry.
How will they trouble you
if you don't stay with them?
Let's go!
Then where do I stay?
With me. In my house.
Mind you,
I am not the kind of girl you think.
I'm not going to share
the bedroom with you.
Listen to me.
In my house,
but in separate bedroom.
In separate bedroom. Ok?
Come!
I am going to get a special separate room?
But I won't pay rent for it.
Not a problem.
Let's go!
Room has a lock, right?
Come in!
You live alone here?
Sushila Mavshi!
Yes!
She is Sushil Mavshi.
And she is...
Shevanta, right?
Oh! You are already famous.
Ya! I saw her in the clip...
Megha madam has called her there.
No, she will be staying here.
I will speak to her.
You show her around.
Ok.
Come!
Hello!
Where is sir's room?
Upstairs.
And mine?
Ground floor.
Lock?
What?
It has a lock, right?
Oh! Of course!
Let me show you.

If you're done with the food,
put it like this.
If you don't like the food,
make it cross.
Can't we talk it all
instead of the sign language?
It's much easier.
Means, this is not good,
yesterday's item was better,
Get the next course,
get something to drink. Etc?
Shevanta!
Behave yourself!

[Reciting poem incorrectly]
Hey! What are you up to?
Is this the way to recite a poem?
Mr. Borkar will never forgive me.
Who is Mr. Borkar?
He is a great poet who
has lyricised this poem.
I asked you to recite it so that
you improve your Marathi pronunciations.
Do you know how this
is supposed to be recited?
[Poem]
[Poem]
If its recited in your voice,
I can by heart in no time.
Sorry?
I mean, if you teach me like this,
I will learn in no time.
Really?
So you mean, if you hear poems in
MY voice, you will easily by-heart them.
Absolutely! No doubt.
Promise?
100% promise.
You can begin, I am all ears.
Very good.
I have recorded all
the poems in my voice here.
So you listen to them
for an hour every day...
What?
Poems...
So you listen to them for an hour
every day so you will master all of them.
Here. Come on.
All the best.
Hey! You too can't read Marathi?
Hey listen!
I am not fluent with Marathi coz
I have studied in Cambridge IGCSE board.
I chose French as my subject
instead of Marathi after 5th grade.
That means we both are "Shame"
What shame?
Shame to shame.
Shame to shame!
Oh okay.
It's "same" not "shame"
Oh!
So down market!
You may be more educated than me...
...but we both are "shame"
as far as Marathi is concerned.
but we both are "shame"
as far as Marathi is concerned.
We both can't read Marathi.
We are not and will never be same.
It's way too different.
You are right!
There IS a difference.
I am under Vikram Sir's "personal training"
and you are under "general training".
In other words,
I am the first-class passenger...
...and you are a third class passenger.
[Clicks tongue]
There surely IS a difference.
What a lavish place!
Bigger than our fishermen's colony!
What a classy crown!
Will it fit Shevanta?
No worries!
Whoa! What a beauty! Come on.
Let's talk to her.
We need to show a lot of attitude.
[Clears throat]
Can I help you?
Excuse me!
Hello!
Inform Vikram Sir,
that Mr. Hanmya and
Mr. Pintya are waiting for him.
Hello!
There is some Tandel here.
[Megha] Tell them I'm busy.
But...
Say, Hanmanta Sir aka Shevanta's father.
And myself, Shevanta's BFF.
Aka Best Friend Forever!
- [Door knocks]
- [Megha] Excuse me, Vikram!
He is Shevanta's father.
He wanted to meet you and only you.
What?
Please sit.
Thank you!
Myself Hanmantrao.
My dear daughter is here.
I miss her every single day!
You see, you see, I can't eat, "drink",
hence can't sleep well.
I want to see her.
The thing is, Hanmya was missing
Shevanta like anything.
More so as he ran out
of alcohol crate you gave him.
Every evening, he gets withdrawals...
I miss her, that's all!
She is busy...
...and not allowed to meet
people at her free will.
But.. my throat gets dry.
Ya.
I will let that go as it's
happening for the first time.
I don't want to see your face
for the next 3 months now...
What if I miss her again..
- Taker her back now itself if you like.
- I'm sorry.
Only because Pintya insisted I came.
- When did I say?
- Will tell you later.
One more crate would have been just fine...
since I get withdrawals!!!
Sure
When did I say?
Shevanta's dance Performance ?
Bro, don't you worry.
Leave it to me.
This is my word.
You continue as per your plan.
Ok bye.
Sir, do you have a minute for me?
Of course.
I am all yours, baby.
Why do you look so stressed?
Come here, give me a hug.
Come on, cheer up.
Tell me.
Do you really mean it, Sir?
I just overheard you talking on phone
about keeping your word or something.
I'm sure it's about Shevanta.
I don't see any sense in we continuing
here if the winner is already decided.
In fact, dad was saying if...
The winner is already announced, then
Look, half knowledge is
worse than none.
But you are training her
personally and...
...we are treated like
some third class passengers.
[Laughs]
I am and will always train you all.
What's wrong with you?
What happened to your confidence level?
You are getting insecure
coz of some uneducated girl?
Not insecure.
But since you have accepted
this as a challenge,
you will go to any
lengths to accomplish it.
It's a stunt, baby.
It's a stunt.
Can't you see it?
You are my real diamond.
How can that crude girl compete with you?
Look, she being here is to our advantage.
If a crude, uneducated girl,
like her, reaches even the semis,
there will be a tremendous media hype.
The TRP of the show
will be more than double.
And who is going to
benefit the most from this?
The winner?
And it's you.
Are you getting it?
Come on, Riya!
Oh! Really Sir?
Yess!
I'm so sorry!
Tomorrow you both
have dance performance,
so concentrate on that.
Show your skill there.

Wah!

That was a superb performance, girls.
Superb!
The telecast will surely
attract superb TRP...
...and more than 10 million views
on YouTube.
Superb. Congrats, Riya.
- Thank you.
- You always perform like a winner.
Great! Great! Vikram congrats.
Of course!
Riya is known to be a professional.
You were too good.
But the real surprise...
...was Shevanta.
You were fabulous...
amazing.
Mark my words, Vikram.
This is going to be
A good underdog story.
Well done!
Hearty congrats!
Of course!
Ok, lovely, ok lovely
All the best.
Nice!
'Shevanta Tandel!'
'Now everyone will look at ONLY me!'
You know, girls, you all are my
Pretty Princesses and I'm proud of you...
Someone has said it right.
This is that, that is this.
Got it?
Who said so, Sir?
Riya, my darling!
It's not important who has said this.
That's hardly important.
Well! I actually don't even know.
Get up!
What's going on?
What's going on?
You think it's all a joke going on?
Or you think I'm a fool here?
Go!
You were right.
I AM a fool who is dreaming of making...
...this uncultured crude girl,
winner of a prestigious pageant.
It's ok. Calm down, please.
- No, it's not ok, Megha.
- Please calm down.
You were right!
One should bet on horses and not donkeys.
If one bets he himself becomes one.
Vikram, please listen to me.
She is getting us a huge windfall
of 30 million, don't forget!
- Okay?
- Ok, then!
One last chance.
LAST chance!
I won't tolerate any more insubordination.
You want to mimic me right?
Sure.
This exactly is your punishment.
you need to recite
a poem or read a para...
...from any book of your choice,
exactly the way I would.
With proper diction and pronunciations,
that too, today itself.
Or else...
Vik...
Serve the dinner, please.
Yes.
Where's Shevanta?
She left with you in the morning
and hasn't returned since.
Megha!
Vikram!
She is nowhere to be seen.
Vikram!
[Reciting poem]
[Reciting poem]
Have some juice
No, Thanks.
I won't have anything
till I by-heart the poem.
Have it.
Let me handle this.
You can go.
You have to finish this juice.
Starving is not going to help.
You should take up any challenges...
...only if you have guts
and will to work hard for it.
Finish it!
[Burping]
You are impossible.
[Reciting the poem with wrong words]
Is this a way to recite a poem?
Pay attention to the words.

Very good!
Shevanta, that was awesome,
congratulations!
Thank you!
Let's celebrate!
Sorry, I don't drink.
It's very bad.
It makes a monkey out of my father.
I have seen my father.
Shevanta! Again slang?
Come on! Cheers.
No, I don't want alcohol.
This is champagne.
You should taste all this.
By now you should know the difference
between wines, champaign, liquiors.
Don't you want to mingle in high society.
Hmm...
Here, it's called "a drink" not alcohol.
Oh! It seems my father has
always been a part of high society.
I was angry with him for no reason.
Come on, Shevanta.
Have it!
Cheers!
Cheers!
[Phone vibrating]
Yes?
Many happy returns of the day
and many more to come!
Thank you so much.
Hope you remember
the next week's party!
Yes, I do.
Bring that girl along.
Yes, Megha is joining me.
Oh not Megha.
That "breaking news" girl.
Florist girl.
Shevanta?
Yes, do bring her with you.
Enjoy your party.
Ok.
7 Years Earlier
Vikram...
I need to have a word with you.
Really?
You really want to communicate With me?
What have you decided about your career?
Look at your friends.
All are well settled.
You don't seem serious at all
in anything you take up.
Firstly, you started with literature,
then fashion designing, then music.
Every year you take up something new.
Nothing concrete.
I gave you all the freedom,
but you are taking undue advantage.
Vikram!
Say something, Vikram!
You are son of Brig. Viraj Rajadhyaksha.
Please speak up, for God's sake.
Well! being your son
has been my biggest curse.
Your aura put me in shadows.
In fact I lost my way completely.
You conveniently gave me freedom
...shrugging off your responsibility.
Instead, you should have guided me.
I understand that you
were busy at the frontier.
But did you ever think how lonely
I was after Mom passed?
Fine, fine!
Now you have taken up this grooming?
It needs a lot of discipline,
which you don't have yourself.
Why are you bent upon teaching...
what you yourself don't have?
Challenge.
That's it!
Vikram, You should
take up any challenge...
...only if you have guts and
a will work hard for it and achieve it.
Well, then thanks to you.
That now I do have guts
to dream and take up challenges.
Challenge accepted!
And now on, I too want to live
my "Life By Choice"...
NOT "By Chance".
Hey!
What's the matter?
Why are you so tense?
Hope she doesn't mess up.
Where?
At Brigadier's.
What about that?
She is specially invited there.
What?
I'm sure she is going to let me down.
Don't worry.
I will manage her there myself.
Yes, but you are not invited there.
You prick! I won't...
Hey, hey! What is this?
All my efforts on you are going waste.
What is this slang
language and behaviour?
Megha, you have to see to it
that she behaves.
I don't want any nonsense there.
We just have to get done
with the Brigadier's party.
Useless!
You are good for nothing.
You will get nowhere.
You mess up everywhere.
Again and again.
No manners, no sense.
Now forget it.
You can't even speak Marathi properly,
let alone English.
Your baseless attitude
is not going to help.
You mess up.
Again and again.
You still don't know the difference
between Champagne and spirit.
Nor can you dance salsa.
Haven't learnt even the table manners.
[Snaps finger]
Concentrate!
Shevanta, concentrate!
You need to do better.
Enough of mess ups.
Enough of messing up.
Enough of blunders.
Aren't you in love with him?
Then you have to slog
to make his dream come true.
Give your best shot.
Work for his dreams
whom you have started loving.
Put in efforts day and night.
Forget everything else.
One day he will feel for you
realising your feelings for him.
Will you feel for me?
Surely, he will!
(Navigation App lady giving directions)
This woman makes mistakes
of English and you tolerate.
And when I go wrong,
you say that I mess up!
I haven't invented that app.
Besides, who is she to me
that I scold her?
So, who am I to you anyway?
Just a challenge. Right?
Sir, the road ahead is dangerous!
What?
The board is saying so.
Let me have a look.

Shush!!
Shush.
[Snoring]
Sir...
Oh my God!
Well! I am confused.
Who exactly is grooming whom?
Did you have traditional
costumes round or something?
How should I bless you?
"May you become a beauty queen"
Isn't it?
Sugar?
And cream?
Your grooming seems on track?
One more thing.
Don't let the milk curdle in your tea.
Stir it well while you pour.
Meaning?
I mean, you should keep stirring
while pouring the milk...
...so that it doesn't curdle.
[Laughs]
No one's judging you here.
Sit.
You're Shevanta, right?
My father has named me.
Sorry?
Shevanta is my father's favourite name.
So he has named me Shevanta.
So he has named me Shevanta.
Sorry!
[Laughs]
Anyway! You are already a princess.
Coz you have inner beauty.
This grooming etc is the packaging
only for the people to know it.
You must learn these
etiquettes and all...
...because as they say "when you are
in Rome, do as the Romans' do".
Meaning, one should follow the rules
of roaming network...
...when in that particular network.
[Laughs]
You are smart.
Good, good.
Old wisdom needs to
be understood in today's context.
You are intelligent
You talk so well!
Why can't our Godfather...
sorry Vikram sir, do the same?
Everyone has his own methods.
He is a bit short tempered and whimsical.
Once you know that he shouts at you out
of concern for you, you won't feel hurt.
Once he decides, he won't listen to anyone
till its achieved, not even his father.
He works tirelessly for his aim...
...and he won't give a damn about
what others think once he is convinced..
He not very social,
prefers to be a loner...
...exact traits of a tiger.
During his formative years, I could
never pay enough attention to him...
...that's why he has become
a loner, whimsical.
You said it so right!
How do you manage that?
Experience counts, my dear.
[Both laughs]
Come on now, go.
Get ready for the party.
Have a nice evening!
Done with your exam?
What did he say about me?
How do you know that?
Talk softly
How do you know?
That's not important.
Just remember one thing.
Whatever he told you about me,
is completely untrue.
I thought so!
He said your extremely hard working,
determined, emotionally soft etc.
I know, nothing is true.
What?
He actually said that?
What else did he say?
[Roars]
He said you were a tiger.
This is the bullet and these two people...
Capt. Bhosale and
Major Ravindra saved my life.
Angles, thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Or else God knows what
would have happened!
Good evening, Sir!
Hey, Dhruv!
- What a surprise!
- I invited him.
He is an ad man.
Meet Capt. Bhosale and Major Ravindra.
my colleagues in operation
Blue Star in eighty four and..
Oh my God! She looks like a princess!
Wow, you are looking absolutely gorgeous.
- Just couldn't recognise you.
- Thank you.
Oh my my!
Young lady you look gorgeous!
Thank you!
Shall we dance?
Really?
Of course
Sure.
[Music]
Superb, Sir!
Care for a dance?
Please!
I need a word with you.
You surprised me quite a bit.
Let's have a drink.
Vikram...
Hey Vikram.
Let's have a drink.
I need to talk to you.
They look so good together,
what do you think?
They are a perfect match for each other.
She could've been my daughter in law
if I had one more son.
Well, one has to think of
her life as well? Right?
What do you think?
Well I don't exactly where I was posted...
...my driver narrated a story of
a diver from Kanyakumari.
What story?
Story of how they extract
pearls from the ocean.
Diver said that they get all the praises
for extracting the pearls from the seabed.
He was well aware
and polite to admit...
...that he owed his respect to
the real "pearl" he found in the sea shell.
Without the "pearl",
he would be worthless.
True its logical.
Because that pearl changes his life.
But unfortunately,
all divers don't realise this.
All divers don't realise this logic!
Waiter!
Please call the man in beard there.
The one who is dancing.
Okay, sir.
Sir is calling you.
Do you mind if I?
- Ya, sure.
- Thanks!
Excuse me.
[Sniffs]
Someone seems to be feeling jealous!!!
Tomorrow morning,
I need Vikram here.
We need to see a plot of land.
Can you give a ride
to this girl back to Mumbai?
Of course!
Why would I be jealous?
All I mean is that...
...you need to use your discretion
while dealing with people.
Oh really?
Like what?
I mean...
...you don't have to hug...
...or give a peck to everyone.
Ok!
Well! I thought you will actually
appreciate my etiquettes.
By the way, you only asked me
to behave like Megha, remember?
Forget that.
You and Megha are different for me.
But it was you who
stressed upon following...
...the high society
party manners like her.
You are missing the point.
Don't you realise what I am trying to say?
I do.
What?
I can sense that someone is troubling you.
Who?
Him there, Dhruv!
Ya! That's a deal!
Thank you.
Thank you very much.
You passed in all tests, my dear!
Remember, if you win hearts of the people,
you can be on top of the world.
And you are the winner!
All the best.
You have my cell no.
Don't hesitate to call me
whenever you need to speak.
All right?
See you.
I'll take your leave.
Ya!
Bid Adieu to her!
Well they look so good together.
I think even Dhruv is falling for her.
Vikram, why don't you
put in a word to him?
Her life will get set with him.
Where are you heading?
We need to see the land.
Something has come up suddenly.
Land can wait.
Has it?
Yeah.
I realise it exactly.
So now you may need to rush
back to Mumbai, right?
That's right.
Ok. Drive safe.
Don't chase the cars on the way.
Sorry?
Anyway, I need to go.
Dattu, have you taken the bags?
Yes.
Vikram, take just the bags
leave the baggage behind.
Let's go, Sir.
You sit at the rear, I will drive.
Sir?
[Horn blares]
I don't think we can catch up
to the speed of Dhruv Sir's new Audi.
Keep quiet.
Our car is no less.
Just wait and watch.
His is a new car.
Latest model.
Dhruv sir really drives fast you know.
Sir!
So, what's your favourite music?
Hey! Shevanta!
- [Horn blares]
There he comes!
That's an old song.
I may not have it.
Any other song I can play?
Tea.
I want to have tea.
Let's halt for a cup of tea.
Sure! As you please!
Your wish is my command!
Nice.
Lovely ambiance!
All good?
Yeah!
Beautiful! Good look and feel.
Absolutely!
Tea, right?
Or coffee?
Tea.
Two special teas please!
You got it!
Two teas.
This is great!
Please have a...
Hi!
Vikram, what a surprise!
You were to come later.
Yeah...
Some miscommunication.
I realised, I have to go
to a designer's studio with Shevanta.
I can take her there
if you give me the address.
No, thanks!
Actually, we both need to be there.
I need to speak about some sponsorship
and Shevanta needs to be there.
Let's go, Shevanta.
Tea is just coming.
You could leave after tea.
- Shevanta...
- Yeah.
Come on! Bye, Dhruv!
But!! Tea...
[Sighs]
What's the matter?
I am missing my father.
Especially after meeting yours.
It's his birthday today.
Don't tell me you need to go see him.
What about Pretty Princess Pageant?
Sir!
Just kidding.
You can take just half a day off.
Pretty Princess Pageant
is just around the corner.
Happy Birthday to me!
Happy Birthday to Sir Hanmantrao Tandel!
Happy Birthday!
Come, celebrate with me.
Cheers!
Here I am, Hanmya Sir!
To celebrate your birthday.
I have a small gift for you.
Happy Birthday, Sir!
Cheers!
No more cheers.
All this will end within a month now.
Shevanta will come back then. After that,
I can't have this imported liquior.
Let me learn to be
without it right from now.
Shall we start having
the local alcohol like before?
But if she wins the contest, you
don't have to give up the imported one.
Who's come?
Who's come here this late?
Let's see.
My daughter!
My daughter has come!
My dear father!
- Careful!
- My dear father!
You look like a filmstar already.
Hey, these kind of attire
is fine in high society...
not here.
I need to speak to you heart to heart.
Let's sit!
I knew my girl would come for my birthday.
I don't like it here without you.
I won't lie.
I allowed you to go there...
...because I was getting money
to settle all my debts.
Which is why I consented
for you to go there.
[Crying]
But in the bargain, I became lonely.
Even those people stopped coming
to whom I owed money.
Dad!
Your father became completely lonely.
It's ok! I brought something
for you on your birthday.
A gift on your birthday.
Happy Birthday!
Let me see!
Wow! This is scotch.
A real classy stuff.
Is it from Vikram Sir?
No, no this is from me!
What?
You?
Something is wrong.
Now what?
I can't believe this.
You were the one who cursed me
for alcoholism all my life.
Now you yourself are
getting a bottle for me?
I always felt like giving up alcohol
at least for your sake.
Now YOU only are gifting me alcohol?
This is all going wrong.
Completely wrong.
Enough, Dad!
I don't want anything.
I only want my daughter back.
I don't want you to stay
in that camouflaged world.
I only want my daughter back.
Your daughter is always with you.
She is not going anywhere.
Nothing doing!
I am giving up alcohol
today right here, right now!
Dad...
I am sorry...
'I don't want you to stay
in that camouflaged world.'
'It's a stunt baby.'
'You are my real diamond.'
'How can that crude girl
compete with you?'
'One should bet on horses
not on donkeys'
'She is getting us a huge windfall
of 30 million, don't forget!'
'What is this crude
language and behaviour?'
'Stupid!'
'Vikram? He dumps everyone
after using just once.'
'Put your hands together
for Pretty Princess 2022,'
'Miss Riya!'
[Gasps]
Today's session was
Really special for all of us.
Not that we did anything different
than the usual, but it was more intense.
This session was different
in the sense that...
...from tomorrow we are
all going to be on our own.
You all are capable of being a winner.
Remember, you are competing with yourself.
While doing ramp walk, do it
in the way it suits your personality.
You have only a minute
to answer the question.
Judges would be convinced
with only an honest answer.
So just concentrate and
focus on your own performance,
give your best and once you do this,
I am sure you will succeed one day.
Each one of you is the winner for me.
But only that girl who will
be able to convince the judges...
...she will win the Pageant.
No one will defy me...
...no one will define me...
...and no one will tell me
who and what I am and can be.
Belief will change the world.
[Applause]
So here we go!
Welcome to the Grand Finale of
Pretty Princess 2022.
This pageant is a dream
for millions of girls.
It's not just a title,
but it's a benchmark.
This is the platform where
the dream of beauty, power,
popularity and glamour comes true.
Today we are going to have one such face
here who's this dream would be fulfilled.
So, firstly I welcome our judges.
Please welcome Ms Manjiri Nirgudkar...
Mr. Prem Jhangiani...
Dr. Shivani Mayekar Rao.
And here we present
our top 10 contestants...
...in this Grand Finale
of Pretty Princess 2022.
[Music]
Now we will announce
our top 5 finalists...
...but after a short break.
So I'll see you after a break.
Vikram, you are a lucky man.
You have them both Riya and Shevanta.
By the way, Dhruv has confirmed,
he would sign a contract
right away with you, if Riya wins.
This is awesome.
You are in a win-win situation
whatever be the outcome of the contest.
Riya is truly a professional,
graceful and hot.
She is the one who
deserves to be the winner.
She is superb.
She is superb.
Yes, I have spoken to Dhruv about it.
It's a great news.
Here we have our top 5 finalists
of Pretty Princess 2022.
[Applause]
Our first finalist is...
Riya.
Congrats, Vikram!
Our second finalist is...
Priyasha.
Third name is...
Richa.
Fourth one is...
Mayuri
Some blunder.
And our fifth finalist is...
- 5th one is confirmed.
- Hold your breath....
Ladies and Gentlemen,
our 5th finalist is...
Shevanta.
Whooo!
Wow, Vikram.
Very good!
Hi! Congrats for getting in the top 5.
Congratulations to you too!
You know what, Dhruv is signing
a contract with Vikram Sir. For me.
Instead of you.
What?
Don't believe me?
Wait.
Watch this.
Who is this Shevanta?
You practically picked her up
from a dustbin, from a shithole.
That crude, idiot girl.
Vikram, I must say,
you are a real actor.
Your acting of falling in love,
for that 30 million contract,
Really conned her, hats off to you!
She is like, "best out of waste"
craft project at school.
Such idiots are always thrown away
and not brought home.
But that idiot,
crude girl won't understand your tricks.
She doesn't deserve
to be even seen with you.
Shevanta, you are next.
Come fast.
- No doubt.
- Absolutely!
She is here.
What's wrong with her?
[Indistinct murmuring]
Hello!
I am Shevanta Tandel.
I thank everyone.
Excuse me! Just a sec.
Wait.
What's going on?
I am sorry but
these costumes and...
this dialect...
is this ok, judges?
Let her speak.
We will see later.
Ok. I'm sorry.
Please continue.
My mother spoke in this dialect.
So, this is my mother tongue
and I am not ashamed of it.
Dialect and Language is only the
means to convey our emotions and culture.
So, there is nothing right or wrong.
It all depends upon one's value system.
If the value system itself is bad,
Whichever dilect/language,
one would remain crude.
Say, if I actually win this pageant.
What will I get next?
A big modelling contract?
There I will just be a puppet...
...in the hands of sponsors, ad agencies...
I'll have to dance to their tunes.
That's what a woman's
life has always been.
She is always a slave
in this male dominated society,
irrespective of which
social strata she belongs.
In the lowest strata she is physically
abused after consuming cheap liquior...
while in the affluent society,
after consuming single malts,
she is emotionally tortured.
What are the previous
winners of this contest doing today?
Did anyone really attempt to solve farmer
issues or work towards world peace...
...or "meaningfully contribute"
to social causes as promised?
Most of them are either
modelling in skimpy clothes...
...or acting and dancing in films.
Why do they need girls in revealing clothes
in advts for mens' products?
Be it advts for their vests,
shaving gel, perfumes
or even for advts of mens' underwear...
they need women in skimpy clothes?
I don't see a point in
winning a beauty pageant...
...in such a male dominated society
which only objectifies women.
I am grateful to Vikram Sir for his tireless
efforts to get me where I am today.
Some people say to him
he did "best out of the waste"
craft project.
and waste needs to be thrown away
and not brought home.
Right, Vikram Sir?
He taught me etiquettes, manners...
...but the family value system,
I already had learned from my family.
No doubt, he has taken a lot of
efforts for grooming me.
Fisherman can boast
his fishing skills...
but if his fishing net is not
strong enough, can he catch any fish?
All these girls have
taken tremendous efforts...
...they all have reached this
stage only because of their talent...
...and hard work.
So, Godfather Sir?
Didn't you see the efforts I took only
to fulfil the challenge that you took?
Why?
You think this ordinary
florist girl can't speak fluently?
Over last 1 year, even I have learnt
from the audio books.
It's all due to hard work...
...thanks to Vikram Sir, that this girl
from a shithole is standing here today.
Sorry Vikram Sir...
I am UNEDUCATED
but certainly not an IDIOT.
And you know why?
...because I have money meant...
... for my education being gulped
by my father every evening in alcohol.
When I met you Vikram Sir...
...I was just a florist.
And today...
...I can't even become a florist now...
...you have left me halfway
at such a juncture...
...which has a dead end
and doesn't even have a U turn.
[Crying]
After today, I can't even sell flowers.
But now I have decided...
...as my beloved Godfather
and his father Brigadier would say,
I will live my "Life By Choice"
and not "By Chance."
Where is she?
[Clapping]
What's the matter?
I have come back defeated, Dad!
Your little girl has failed.
You were so right.
That world is a big lie.
Full of hypocrites.
Nothing and no one is genuine and real.
But, I loved him wholeheartedly,
but he turned out to be heartless.
He didn't have a real heart.
I have become a popper
in a true sense today.
Lost her heart too.
[Crying]
Hello, I'm Saurabh.
And have a breaking news for you!
This is exceptional
that we are here straight...
...from the Pretty Princess
contest auditorium.
We are live from the
fishermen's colony here.
We have here with us Shevanta Tandel,
one of the top 5 finalists.
We have our host Sayali,
and the judges too.
So, Sayali, who do you think
is the winner?
It will be revealed in some time.
Any clue?
The organising committee and the judges
have jointly given a statement.
I would like to read it to you all.
This is exclusive on our channel.
Yes!
When this contest
was originally conceived,
the inner talent and the physical
appearance had equal weightage.
Even particular dialects or expensive
designer outfits, were not mandatory.
As the times changed,
any dialect in Marathi language
should be eligible,
there were no rules regarding
costumes and evening gowns,
even now they are not mandatory.
Can I say something?
Yes, Please!
Most importantly,
beyond dialects and costumes,
apart from physical appearance and beauty,
she should have kind heart,
elegant personality
and good value system.
In fact, today Shevanta's
thoughts have been an eyeopener.
So, based on these parameters...
...we unanimously announce
the winner of Pretty Princess 2022...
...to be Shevanta Tandel.
Yo! Hanmya Sir!
You did it, Shevanta!
Go!
See...
But Dad, I didn't win
what I really worked for.
Riya!
I'm sorry, Shevanta.
I should have shown you
the complete video.
You need to know this.
These illiterates don't deserve...
That's enough!
Just because you are my friend,
I've been tolerating your blabber.
I'm only incidental, in fact,
this girl is a gem.
I have been grooming all these girls
for last several years now.
She took just a year to achieve
what the others take 5-6 years.
And one can't turn stone into a diamond,
there has to be a raw
diamond at the first place.
Most importantly,
she is not greedy.
She doesn't expect anything.
She took all these efforts,
suffered my anger...
...just so that I could
meet the challenge I took up.
She loves me to no ends...
...truly she has won my heart.
I tried to groom her,
but in fact, she transformed me
into a human being.
I haven't done anything like
"best out of the waste",
but she is the one
who cleared dirt from my mind.
Thanks Shevanta.
