Tere Ishk Mein (2025) Movie Script

Eight thousand to the right,
five miles to South.
Westbound.
Speed 4000 kilometers per hour.
Eagle, you're flying way below
the instructed altitude.
Follow instructions.
Eagle, again, you're violating
the instructed altitude.
Stick to exercise height band.
In short, I've got to be sure
It's an unidentified carrier.
Confirm any suspicious activity.
Will not wait for that.
Ready to engage.
Waiting for your orders.
Eagle, you're flying too close
to the international boundary.
No engagement.
Base team, Delta approaching target.
Waiting for clearance.
Gentlemen, this is Eagle speaking.
You're approaching
my military secure area.
Stay away to avoid
any wrong judgment.
This is the Indian Air Force.
Your actions are unfriendly
and dangerous.
Leave the area at once and stay away.
Shankar, standby.
Your actions will have
major consequences.
We're conducting a lawful exercise
as per international law.
Everyone, standby for scramble.
Station clear. Initiate drop process.
Get ready, everyone.
- Yes.
- Yes.
- Open the door.
- Yes, sir.
Push. Quick.
Hello, gentlemen.
Eagle, we are in our territory.
Stop hostile action now.
Any aggression will lead
to serious consequences.
Aggression is not a reaction, my friend.
It's a choice, and I already made mine.
So have we.
Well, it was nice talking to you
Neighbors.
Sir, these are the latest
satellite images.
There's a lot of movement
happening, sir.
We need to plan some action.
- Sir.
- Alright?
Jai Hind, sir.
All that's been going
on since 7th May,
you exactly know that.
Twenty-five of our military establishments
have been attacked.
And now four of Pakistan's
Tughril-class frigates,
three Tariq-class destroyers,
and two Hangor-class submarines
Are heading towards INS Vijay
at a speed of 30-plus knots.
According to our intel,
in the next couple of days,
we are heading to a full-fledged
war with the Pakistan Navy
in Indian waters.
And in the middle of all this,
you were about to start
a war on another front!
How dare you pull out a weapon
in international airspace!
It was an enemy airplane, sir.
And how do you know that?
There was a sound
And may I know,
where this sound came from?
From my stomach.
And when you fly,
who are you supposed
to listen to, officer?
The Fighter Controller
or your stomach?
I fly my airspace every day, sir.
There was something wrong.
I could sense it.
I'm grounding you, officer.
There will be an inquiry
into this incident,
and till we get a final report,
make sure
I don't see you near any airplane!
Get lost!
Sir.
But, sir, he's the best we have.
Good morning, sir.
He just has a problem controlling
his temper, sir.
I don't have a problem
with his temper, Jaideep,
I have a problem with his distrust.
There's something that doesn't
allow him to trust anyone, sir.
Not even his teammates.
You think counseling will help?
Sir, in my opinion,
given the current circumstances,
we really need him. You know that, sir.
- Sudhir
- Sir.
Arrange a counselor.
Till he completes his counseling
and is not given a clean chit
by the Disciplinary Committee,
he won't fly.
- Clear?
- Yes, sir.
And this is his last chance.
This is the Indian Air Force,
and he isn't our only pilot.
We have many.
Divyanka,
I need this boy in the air. ASAP.
So just make sure headquarters
puts the best counselor on the job.
Sure, sir.
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
- Hello, Mukti.
- Hello
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Have you been drinking?
No.
Come on, don't lie to me.
Think about your health.
Are you meeting the doctor?
What did she say?
Will you be back in time?
Yes?
You're aware of the attacks
on Kalvari and Karanj
The situation is very tense here, Mukti.
We may get into a war anytime.
Do you think I'm having
a party over here!
Don't you understand
what I'm going through right now?
We need you.
You cannot die on that boat, dammit!
I don't care how,
but you have to...
I'll call you back.
Hello, Mukti, listen...
Come in.
Good afternoon, ma'am.
- Good afternoon, officer. Please
- Thank you.
But sorry for intruding,
this is an important one.
Leh AFS Group Captain Shekhawat
personally recommended this case.
Okay, I'll look into it.
Thank you.
Excuse me, sir.
Yeah, come in, Mukti.
I need to handle this case myself, sir.
What's this?
Look at your condition, Mukti.
Just recommend it to
any of your colleagues.
This is important, sir.
Leh Air Force Station
has issued a special request.
Are you sure?
Absolutely.
Dad
I know where Shankar is.
I have to go, Dad.
One large
- Okay.
- One lemonade.
Jai Hind, sir.
Jai Hind, sir.
Thank you.
Excuse me, sir.
Come in.
Jai Hind, sir.
At ease.
Ma'am, meet Flight Lieutenant Shankar.
Hello, Shankar.
Sir, I feel like throwing up.
Can I take your leave?
Thank you.
From the beginning of human evolution,
one particular emotion has been
troubling all of us greatly.
This emotion has been a threat
to civil society
for thousands of years.
And that emotion is
Violence.
Brutality, inhumanity,
mercilessness
It's just one emotion,
yet you'll find thousands
of synonyms for it.
This accounts for 20 percent of
all problems in modern psychology.
The Hindi word for this is "hinsa".
So what exactly is your paper
proposing, Ms. Mukti?
Yes, sir, I'm just coming to it.
So, in my belief,
violence is pretty
much like an appendix.
It's pretty much useless,
but it causes a lot of pain.
And what I'm proposing is
-Just like an appendix,
-Catch him! Shankar, catch him!
-This too can be removed
-Shankar, catch him!
- From the body.
- Shankar!
In modern psychology,
we can cure violence.
It can be completely eliminated
from any person.
Theoretically,
and if given a chance, practically,
I can prove that human beings
are actually capable of
Capable of
Of of giving up
any kind of violent behavior.
Forever.
I know it may sound
a bit radical right now
but my research suggests
that some personality assessments,
a few social psychology experiments,
psychotherapy, hypnotherapy,
and if needed, medication
Can reform the most violent subject.
And that too, permanently.
Yes, my dear teachers
and my fellow scholars,
I hereby submit
my 2200-page thesis,
for your consideration and approval.
Think about it, when...
- Hey!
- Look, look!
Come out!
Search upstairs.
Search the corners.
Come out now
Search upstairs. Search the corners.
Look over there.
Search everywhere
- Chetu
- Hey!
- Chetu where are you?
- Don't you see there's an important...
Search for him!
- Is he there?
- Checked there?
Look up, look behind.
Chetu, stop hiding,
come out now.
Chetu Chetu.
Bro! Sorry, bro
Sorry, bro. Please hear me out.
Please
Bro, please listen to me
I won't do it again, sorry.
- Calm down!
- Quickly sit down!
This is a third-year BSc student.
- Please do something, ma'am
- Chetan Malhotra.
Stop him, sir.
- He's very eager to contest
- Call the police.
In the election.
We'll just rough him up a bit,
so that he's not so eager anymore.
What nonsense is this!
- What the hell!
- Friends, I'm sure you all know Shankar.
Make sure you cast your vote
in favor of Shankar on the 20th, else
Shankar will hunt you down.
I will vote for you.
Get him.
- Stop it.
- You need to remember three things
- Come on, let's go, Mister.
- Time's up.
- Let's go.
- Come on.
Are you okay?
- Commissioner sir
- What is it?
Please give me a minute.
I'm a regular
at Kamla Nagar Police Station
Please.
Fine.
Go on, try your luck.
If you weren't so pretty,
I would've never done
something like this.
If a girl this gorgeous
raises her hand
It deserves to land
on somebody's cheek.
"Violence is just like the appendix,
it can be removed from the body.
Human beings can be cured of violence."
Isn't it?
They are the society's appendix.
Bloody sewage rats!
- What, man!
- This 2200 page thesis of yours
can never reform any such guy
like him, Mukti.
Of course, it can, sir.
Only the Indian Penal Code
can reform a man like him.
Sir, please read it once. Please.
Of course, I'll go through your thesis.
But I will only approve it
when I see some solid proof on this topic.
- Ma'am
- There are so many topics
in behavioral psychology
Classical conditioning,
cultural norms,
non-verbal communication
You could've chosen any one of them.
But you had to choose this topic!
I mean, are you trying
to get a doctorate degree
or the Nobel!
Ma'am, I really believe that...
- Disappointing!
- Let's go.
Ma'am, sir
please just read it once.
The exit polls are being discussed
on television
The person handing out freebies will win.
- Ma'am please just
- Everything will be free
Shit!
Need to speak to a lawyer.
Bro,
do you think Uncle will bail us out?
Have you watched the film
Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham?
Twenty-five times.
Just like the mother
would get a whiff
- of her son's arrival
- Yeah.
I know when my father
is about to arrive.
See. He's here.
Mr. Raghav, hello
- Hello.
- Lalit,
open the door.
The lawyer is here.
Yes, sir.
Uncle.
- What do I do?
- Nothing's going to happen, don't worry.
Hello, Uncle.
- Dear God.
- Come here.
At least pull me by my hand.
Shut up. This is what you deserve!
Why are father and son fighting?
File Articles 204, 214,
317 and 380 against him.
- I see, he has got good marks.
- These aren't his marks, sir.
These are Articles of the IPC.
They're antisocial,
they'll never reform.
File a case with these Articles.
Dad, you're not the only lawyer in Delhi.
There are many lawyers in this city.
You can leave now.
I'll be home for dinner.
Make sambhar and potato curry,
- I'll be there.
- Why are you going back in?
I'll break your leg!
Come. Break it.
Get lost.
As if the Chief Justice will come
to save him.
Did you file an FIR?
Thank you.
It's Valentine's Day next week.
We can't find a girlfriend anyway,
at least we'd get to see girls in college.
You should've stopped Uncle.
He would've bailed us out
after a couple of slaps.
I'm stuck with you on Valentine's Day.
You could've shaved at least
Thank you.
What is your name?
Which god is this temple dedicated to?
To Lord Shankar.
Shankar?
So, Shankar
I'm here to discuss something
that'll help you.
My professors think you're
You're like
Well
like a
What's this thing called?
Sewage pipe.
What's that thing
that's found inside it?
Small things that crawl?
- Rat.
- Right. Sewage rat.
Not me. This is what they think.
Oh, no.
I can actually turn you
into a human being.
I mean,
I could turn you into a nice,
non-violent kind of guy.
And how will you achieve such
a big task?
So, we will conduct some experiments.
You're in luck.
No, no!
I'm talking about experiments like
The boy you were beating up
You just have to publicly apologize
to him.
Then we'll have some one-on-one sessions,
like I'll get to know you a little better.
Then I'll give you a few tasks that
you'll have to do.
Will you do all this before
we get married or after?
Excuse me?
You can even do all this
after you become my girlfriend.
Are you crazy or what?
Why would I become your girlfriend?
On what basis, then,
will you conduct one-on-one sessions?
Why would I listen to you?
Why would I complete these tasks for you?
And why would I apologize
to that bloody rascal?
Will a man do all this for his wife or
Some random person
who buys him a cheap soda?
But you'll become a better person!
Get up.
- Listen to me at least.
- Rickshaw!
Listen to what I have to say.
- Shankar, we should give this a try.
- Come on, come on.
- Don't use your beauty to get your way!
- Wait a second.
Oh, man!
I'm better than 99 percent of boys anyway.
I'm almost as perfect as Lord Krishna!
Take madam home.
Excuse me.
Where is the biochemistry department?
I'm going that way.
I'll show you.
So you're a lecturer here?
Ad-hoc lecturer.
Wow.
I'm going to the USA for my MD,
I have some time before
my scholarship comes through.
There was a vacancy here,
and I got through.
Damn!
I'm struggling with my PhD here, and
you're getting a
bloody lectureship and all!
Some luck, dude.
A little hard work also.
I'm sure.
Jasjeet.
Mukti.
Oh, no!
What the...
Just a minute.
Hey.
Let's hit another Romeo.
Give me another one. Fast!
Here, take one more!
Move.
- Careful.
- That guy.
Get them!
Run everybody.
Run!
- The one in blue?
- She's back, Shankar.
Are you setting off fireworks?
No.
They stand up on their own,
get lit, and fly off!
Are you bloody out of your minds?
Want me to call the police again?
- Police!
- Police!
And what will the police do, madam?
The state government won't be able
to do anything to us.
Your only option is
to call the CISF, madam.
Go on.
Tell me, what's your problem
in life, Mr. Shankar?
- Have you lost your mind?
- No.
It's my destiny.
Just look at these guys
Tall, broad, and handsome,
yet none of them has
a girlfriend on Valentine's Day.
Never mind them,
they're still students
But me
I am the President of DUSU!
Correct.
There isn't one girl who'd keep her
head on my shoulder and say,
"Listen, are you crazy?"
Why do you worry so much?
"Everything will work out."
Exactly! There's no one!
Do they even know the meaning
of whether it's
Valentines Day or valet parking?!
I love you!
There's another lovey dovey
couple over there.
Bro, we're just friends.
Friends?
Jai and Veeru were
the actual friends in Sholay.
The rest were just
hoodwinking each other.
If I don't have a girlfriend,
- no one else will.
- Listen,
are you crazy?
Why do you worry so much?
Everything will work out.
If this is what you want
to hear, I'll say it.
You have to keep your head
on his shoulder and say it, madam.
Look
Unbelievable!
Oh, Eiffel Tower.
Listen, are you crazy?
Why do you worry so much?
Everything will work out.
Today is Valentine's Day,
come on a date with me.
Your wish will come true,
and I'll get to complete my thesis.
What do you say?
Why are you bent on ruining
the life of a young guy, madam?
If I fall in love,
I'll burn down the city of Delhi.
That's between you and Delhi.
Let me be clear, I'm in this
because I want to get my work done.
But if you want to do it for love,
go ahead.
So there's not even one percent chance
that you'll fall in love?
No chance.
Tell me,
do you want to take this risk?
You said you think I'm beautiful
Don't you guys take a risk
for a beautiful girl?
Fine.
Let it be.
The city is full of sewage rats anyway.
If not you, someone else will.
Wait
I'll take a risk.
Who knows,
you might just fall
in love with my sewage.
Calm down, bro, calm down
All I want is you around
Calm down, bro, calm down
Let me share how I'm feeling now
Who are you?
Who are you?
Shankar.
Dancing Shankar.
I appear when the girl appears.
Look.
She's here.
Calm down, bro, calm down
All I want is you around
Crushing on you, but if it goes wrong
I'll lose my mind, can't stay strong
Calm down, bro, calm down
This love for you is spinning me around
Who all are there at home?
My father and I.
Your mother?
How's your relationship with your father?
Very good.
He hands me over to the cops
and then bails me out.
Well, tell me,
what do you like about yourself?
Me?
Everything, actually.
Especially my nature.
And what do you like about me?
Your body.
When I'm with you, it feels like
My whole world starts to shine bright
Small, petty thoughts make me mad
And I say, "Oh, damn that!"
Even the heat feels like spring's delight
And everyone around seems just right
Calm down, bro, calm down
This love for you is spinning me around
Hello
What do you keep writing?
It's in English.
You won't understand.
- Excuse me.
- How can you just barge in?
Thank you. Move aside.
- Hello. I want to learn English.
- Why have you cut the line?
Okay. But please wait in line.
I just get confused between
"if, it, had, has"
- In, on.
- "In, on."
Everyone has the same confusion.
- Please stand in line.
- Right.
- What?
- Okay. Okay.
This old city of Delhi's lanes
-Feels alive with you again
-Oh, shit.
Even the creaky buses, worn and gray
Seems like they're ready to soar away
Feels like truth, but truth it's not
You're just a crafty, tangled plot
-Calm down, bro, calm down
-What are you doing?
Trying.
This love for you is spinning me around
How do you feel about
the poverty around?
That the rich should be thrashed.
And how do you feel about rich people?
The same.
They should be thrashed.
What do you want to be in life?
Rich. But rich in the sense that
no poor person can thrash me.
I see!
Calm down, bro, calm down
Calm down, bro, calm down
-Calm down, bro, calm down
-Come here!
- Hey, Ved?
- Why were you running away?
- Why weren't you answering?
- I didn't see you.
- Of course, you can't see us now!
- Really?
Already?
Will you keep watching yourself dance,
or will you do something about it?
How do you know about the dancing?
Been there, done that, bro.
Tell me something,
will you keep wasting your time
and energy on this girl,
or will you do something about it?
I did.
- Yes.
- What?
I touched her hand with mine, once.
I touched her foot with mine, once.
I even touched her cheek once.
You're not supposed
to worship her, dude!
And bow before her!
While taking her blessings,
didn't you ring a bell in front of her?
I'm talking about fun. Fun.
You're supposed
to have fun with the girl!
Shankar, listen to me
Didn't you learn anything from films?
A boy and a girl are supposed
to have fun together!
Don't you get it?
Talk to her.
Okay
Alright.
Sir, sweets.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you, sir.
It's all thanks to your blessings.
- Sir, please have some more.
- No, that's enough.
Sir, it's your favorite sweet.
What is it?
Sir, I'll just leave it here.
Slept with her yet?
Oh, my God!
What the hell!
Hello
Bloody Don't let him leave!
I'm coming.
Child.
This guy is only here
For sex.
You'll keep experimenting,
and he'll get the doctorate.
I am so sorry, ma'am.
I'll handle him.
Sir, I'll rework this and be back.
Please just give me some time.
Where? Where is it?
Come on, hurry, let's go.
Shit.
How dare you make
a student get off, you rascal!
- You smashed my head!
- One second
Is this how you behave
with people who pay less?
What do you think of yourself!
- Set the bus on fire, Shankar.
- Shankar!
Look at the bus! Look over there.
He hit my friends. Smash it!
Set it on fire, Shankar.
Just wait and see,
we'll set it on fire.
Set it on fire, Shankar.
Mathur sir?
- Can you please come outside the gate?
- Let me see who interferes!
On the road.
Take a right once outside the gate.
Yes, thank you.
Get up, mister.
- Don't you get up.
- Get up, don't be scared.
Get up.
Apologize.
Slap him.
Slap him.
There's no point, madam. Let it be.
He hit you, didn't he?
He should know what it feels like.
Slap him.
Should I, mister?
Do it!
Shankar!
What have I been teaching you
for the last two months?
You won't hit him. Got it?
Get up.
Slap him again.
Why are you insisting, madam?
He won't do anything.
He's under treatment.
Slap him.
This man is an animal.
Listen to me, he won't do anything.
Slap him.
Shankar, control yourself!
- Control yourself.
- You think you can hit him!
What have I been teaching you?
Breathe
Breathe. Good.
Count backwards.
No matter what happens,
you won't hit him.
Got it?
You won't hit him.
Come on.
Hit him again.
- Shankar!
- Hit him!
- Shankar, stop! Stop.
- Why are you hitting me?!
Stop it, Shankar.
- Hit him!
- Stop!
Shankar, Mr. Mathur
will be here any minute
Shankar, Mr. Mathur will be here
- Want to hit me?
- Stop!
Everything will be ruined if
Mr. Mathur sees this.
I've been working on this
for three years.
My career is at stake.
Please don't ruin it.
Stop it, man.
Stop it.
Get two chairs.
Calm down, everyone.
Come sit.
Please step back.
- Keep calm.
- They have placed chairs.
Stop shouting! Move back.
He's acting over-smart!
What rubbish is this?!
I can't do this.
I'm bored.
Bored?
Of what?
Of doing this for two months.
Of answering these silly questions.
Of pretending to be a nice guy.
I want that
What?
That.
What's "that"?
Fun. I want fun.
F...
What do you mean by "fun"?
Fun means fun.
Fun... And how will you get fun?
How else?
It's been all work
One needs fun as well.
Done.
I'll give you your fun.
But you have to get slapped first.
I promise, I'll give you lots of fun.
Lots
But you have to get slapped first.
Okay?
Come on, Mr. Mathur is almost here. Hurry.
Stand up
Get up.
Good boy.
Get up, mister.
This time, he won't hit you.
- Slap him.
- Move back.
Sure?
Sure?
Come and slap me.
Are you sure?
Don't be scared,
I won't hit you. Slap me.

Hey!
Come, have fun.
Wear your T-shirt.
Why? What's wrong?
You wanted to have fun, right? Come.
This is what's meant by having fun.
You were bored.
Come, let's have fun.
Come.
Come.
What's wrong?
You were talking so big earlier!
What's wrong?
What happened? Listen
What's wrong?
Hello
Don't you want to have fun?
I'm not in the mood.
So I have to set the mood as well?
Let's see, should I put my head
on your shoulder again and say
"Are you crazy?
Why do you worry so much?
Just start,
you will end up having fun."
"I'm in this because
I want to get my work done.
But if you want to do it
for love, go ahead."
This is what you said to me.
You can take off your T-shirt
because it's work,
but I can't take off my shirt,
because it's love.
I shouldn't have done this.
I apo logize.
Apologize?
Did I say it correctly?
Yeah, good.
I'll get your thesis approved
in a month.
- Yours too.
- Thank you, mister.
Mom, the mister was saying
Calm down, bro, calm down
The lover and his beloved are
In a tangled plot
Calm down, bro, calm down
Love is a playful bird that
Flutters out of our chest
Whether things fall apart
Or turn out the best
The journey tests us like all the rest
Calm down, bro, calm down
These flashy moves make me shy
What was your mother's name?
- Pallavi.
- Pallavi
Actually, Radhika.
Actually, Padmini.
Actually, Mukti!
Cling to love, and you'll only sigh
- For love leaves no one untouched
- Actually, Mukti!
In first meetings, in gestures mild
In every greeting, a farewell hides
And when old memories quietly unfold
We walk ahead steady, calm, cold
Calm down, bro, calm down
These flashy moves make me shy
WINNER
MY HARD WORK, YOUR SUPPORWhat is this?
You're not liking it here, are you?
Take me to a place you like going to.
A pretty smile is a smart little art
Think of it as bait for the heart
If she looks and smiles
Comes close for a while
Don't mistake it for love
There's always a reason
A hidden play
That's how this concept works each day!
Calm down, bro, calm down
These flashy moves make me shy
Oh, my God, Shankar.
I didn't think this would happen.
You know, I've been working
on this for so long.
It's not just my hard work,
it's actually you.
No, I'm serious.
Just look at you.
You're the best.
I love you, I love you, I love you
Thank you.
Kaveri.
My mother's name was Kaveri.
I was ten years old when
One day
One day, I found her dead
when I returned from school.
She had burned to death.
My mother died while trying
to save a five-year-old child.
We couldn't save her.
Dad and I tried to save her, but
A poor man's mother
doesn't survive even 20 percent burns.
Ever since, I feel like
my skin is on fire
All day.
Here, here
It burns everywhere.
But when I'm with you,
it doesn't hurt so much.
You are like a soothing balm
that cools.
Look, I don't enjoy being
a soft-natured man,
but I'll do it for you.
I'll become whatever you want me
to become.
I've fallen in love with you.
Deeply.
Mukti!
Mukti!
Abeer?
Shankar, please
Can we sit and talk?
Please.
How are you?
You were studying for
the UPSC exam, right?
How did you end up
in the Air Force?
Your seniors told me
three things about you
Outstanding,
outrageous, and out of hand.
Some rules have to be followed
when you're flying, Shankar.
And it's a pilot's duty
to take permission
before any kind of engagement,
you know that.
Mrs. Mukti
A pilot's duty is to shoot down
every single enemy plane
in its patrolling area.
I fly a Tejas,
not a commercial airline.
Why have you come here?
Still aggressive.
Still angry. Alpha.
You love this image of yours, right?
Still imposing your point of view
on others.
You are still suffering
from God syndrome, aren't you?
Just sign on my papers, and leave!
Shankar, please.
I want to talk to you.
Security!
There's a pregnant lady inside.
- Take care of her.
- Okay, sir.
Are you okay?
You'll be fine.
Please move.
Stay with me. Stay with me.
Get a stretcher, quick!
Come on!
Move! Move!
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Do not cross the Indian side
unless radar orders you.
Do not attack until radar orders you.
Do not hesitate.
That is the only option.
Is that clear?
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.
Good luck, officers.
Carry on.
- Jai Hind!
- Jai Hind!
Thought we'll win the election,
and grant admission
to students under a quota.
And win the tender
for canteen parking
That way, at least we'd make
some money.
But you threw it all away
because of a girl.
And what good did that do?
The girl left you
to be with her boyfriend.
What are you staring at me for now?
When it actually mattered,
you couldn't do anything!
You've even become
a non-violent man now!
Hey, Shankar, Ved
Listen up.
Found out all the details
I did.
- I did.
- Yes.
- Booze?
- Here you go.
And what did you find out?
Working at the DRDO
Is a scientist named
Vikram Chawla.
He has a son named Abeer
who has recently returned from the USA.
Daughter.
- Sister-in-law.
- Sister-in-law
Both of them
Studied in France.
Both their fathers had the same
Mummy?
- Posting!
- Oh, posting.
Mummy?!
Both fathers were posted there.
Da... Damn...
- Damn close.
- They were damn close friends.
Both families want them
to get married.
He's your typical well-educated
NRI who has returned to his roots.
You don't stand a chance.
Wow, you spoke the last line
so clearly, Bablu.
It's the booze.
Mukti
So, finally, you're a doctor!
Dr. Mukti Behniwaal.
Yeah, finally.
- Felicitations!
- Felicitations.
Go and find out the details.
Tell Ashraf, he lives in Nizamuddin.
He'll deal with it.
Wake him up.
Tell him, I've asked him to find out
in ten minutes.
No, no, it's not that
I don't like you, Abeer.
I mean, we've been
friends since forever.
You're a lovely guy,
and Dad loves you,
- you know that, right?
- Yeah.
But it's just that,
I've just got my PhD.
There's so much I want
to achieve in life.
I want to go to the USA.
You know, honestly,
this whole marriage thing,
I'm not even thinking about it.
I understand.
Relax you don't need to worry.
- You sure?
- Yeah. Of course.
How was your experience
with the thesis?
- Chaotic.
- Really?
Yes, what?
Take a U-turn.
What?! Speak louder.
He flipped out when he saw me
on the bed!
Oh, God, I can't forget that expression.
He has become such a good boy
after that day, Abeer.
He completely changed.
I wish I could've shown his
"before and after" nature.
Ever since that day,
he has managed
to keep his anger under control.
Shankar!
Shankar!
Want this?
Or are you a non-violent man now?
You seem to be quite taken by this guy.
One more?
Sure.
People's lives outside books
are so different, Abeer.
I mean, clinical psychology,
American Psychological Association
None of their definitions
can truly capture
how deep childhood trauma really goes.
Today, for the first time, I saw
How much pain he is in.
I wish
I wish I could do more for him.
But it's complicated.
I'm glad I could
at least do this much.
I feel he'll end up doing
something good with his life.
Shankar?
Ved!
Music has been turned off.
Please step back, friends.
There will be no more music.
Hey, Mr. Fashion TV, move aside.
Thank you.
Hey. Masterchef, step back.
Ved
What's his name again?
Abeer.
Kabir?
- Abeer Chawla.
- Right.
Abeer
Abeer.
You're a good boy, Abeer.
I'm a good person as well.
I'm sure you've always been
a good person.
But me I've just recently
become a good person.
When she was with me,
she'd remind me to be a good person.
Otherwise, I keep forgetting it.
Good, bad
Bad, good
I'm under a lot of pressure.
I'm only here to return that pressure.
You guys are good people.
You can keep your goodness.
Wait, wait, wait
What the...
- What the hell!
- Keep quiet.
- What the...
- Hey!
Sit!
- My God!
- Hey
- Keep quiet.
- Mukti.
- What is he doing?
- Has he gone mad?
- Bro
- Mukti, what the hell!
- What the hell, Mukti!
- Stay calm, Abeer.
Stay calm.
He won't do anything.
I know him.
The boy is just in love.
What the hell are you saying!
He will set me on fire.
Do something.
It's just theatrics.
Now only I learn English.
Now this!
In the same language,
tell the girl
To set me on fire if she chooses you.
And if she chooses me,
to set you on fire!
DJ, music on!
Thank you, kids. Enjoy.
- Yeah, right there.
- Okay.
- Don't be scared
- Sir.
Alright?
You're here to meet Shankar sir,
aren't you?
Please be gentle with him.
He's our best pilot.
Do you know him?
He's the only pilot who,
when he's flying,
scares people on
both sides of the border!
He rejected three good postings
only so that he could keep flying.
And what about his family?
I don't know if he has one.
What do you mean?
Marriage? Children?
Once when we were drinking,
I'd asked him,
"Are you married, sir?"
He smiled and said
that it was because of this that
he went from being an animal
to a human being,
then back to an animal,
half an IAS officer,
and finally became a pilot.
He just said,
"I almost got married.
Almost."
To go outside in the middle of eating...
Shankar
- Hello, Uncle.
- Hello.
Hello.
Come in.
No, no, please continue
with your dinner. Please
Chair.
Give this to her.
- Please eat.
- Uncle, I've already eaten.
I insist please.
Thank you.
Actually, it's my fault, Shankar.
I was so caught up in my work
I didn't notice
What you were going through.
I should've understood that you
I mean, we we
I mean,
I should've understood
where this was heading.
And it's not about Abeer.
He's just a friend.
But the point is that you
I mean,
we need to understand that we
I mean
The kind of person you are
I mean, the kind of person I am and we
The kind of life I lead
Can you come to my house
To meet Dad?
Correct.
Go
Her father needs to know you.
You should go. Good idea.
Day after tomorrow?
08:30 a.m.
Day after tomorrow.
Don't be late.
- Okay?
- He will be there.
I'll take your leave now, Uncle.
Finish eating
No, I'm not hungry.
Sorry.
Okay.
- Please don't get up.
- It's alright. See her out. Go.
- Goodbye.
- Goodbye, dear.
It's okay. I'll go.
Well done!
The girl invited you herself!
-My prince, my king
-Bro, you're set now
My prince, my king
My prince, my king
My prince, my king
From now onward, you are my companion
From now onward, you are my companion
The one who will reach the shore
Rest in my embrace, my moon
My little one
My precious one
My little one
My golden one
Good times are here, my son
My prayers have been answered, my son
You are all that I want, my son
I don't want anything else, my son
The one who reached the shore
Reach higher, the sky is the limit
There is no one like you in the world
The time has come
For you to win
Shine and make me proud
You'll make me well-known My son
My little one
My precious one
My little one
My golden one
Good times are here, my son
My prayers have been answered, my son
You are all that I want, my son
I don't want anything else, my son
- All the best.
- Thank you. Bye.
Help me, God.
I've spoken with sir.
The problem will be solved.
Alright. Who is he?
Open the gate.
Yes, so what were you saying?
There is nothing dangerous.
Yes, your work will be done.
Stay calm, stay calm.
Stay calm. I said, stay calm.
- Sir?
- Please go.
Come here.
Hello, Uncle.
Get up.
I am Shankar. Well
Mukti must've told you about me.
She did.
Ask Mukti to come here.
Sit down.
Mukti told me you love her.
And that you want her
to love you madly too.
That you'll live together for a while,
and then get married, right?
- Want some tea?
- Sure.
Hey.
Hi.
How long have you known Mukti?
Three months.
Where did you meet?
In college.
What do you do?
I am studying Law.
I am the President of DUSU.
I mean, ex-President.
Thank you.
How much do you earn?
Right now Well, what I earn
I mean, being the President
or ex-President of DUSU or whatever
Is not a salaried job.
So what do you do to earn a living?
Should I say it?
You pass tenders
for the canteen parking space.
You get a commission
from the college fund.
Cash kickback from the mess suppliers.
What's his father's name?
No, wait.
Raj no, not Rajiv.
Raghav Gurrukkal.
He works as a notary officer
at Tees Hazari.
You arrived in Delhi 12 years ago
from Chennai,
and currently you live in Kalkaji.
Do you know who I am?
There's a nameplate outside the house.
What is written on it?
Yashwant Behniwaal.
Under it.
I didn't notice.
You should have!
That's why I've put it up.
So that people like you notice it,
before they come inside.
- Dad.
- I am speaking, child.
Go, take a look.
Go!
Don't shout. Keep quiet, I said.
Don't make him angry,
he'll bite.
Calm. Calm. Calm.
Went back in?
What's written on it?
Yashwant Behniwaal, I.A.S.
Joint Secretary.
Under whom two hundred and twenty-six
District Magistrates work,
including 700 IPS officers,
four lakh government employees
whose job is to ensure that four crore
people like you stay alive.
I won't bother explaining
what it took to reach my position
because you can't even comprehend it.
All you need to understand is,
I thought of getting married
after I reached this position.
The fact that you want
to take a shortcut to reach here
just because you love my daughter,
and you want to marry her
Tell me,
is this fair?
Then how do you expect me
to give you permission?
Then to whom will you
give your permission?
Someone at this level.
And what did you have to do
to reach this level?
Dad.
I don't know about you, sir,
but I'm here to discuss my marriage.
I am serious.
It's called UPSC U P S C.
It has three rounds.
Prelims, mains, and interview.
Pass your prelims
and come and meet me.
Then we'll talk.
Okay, sir.
I don't know when and where
they give out forms for this exam, but
I'll call up your daughter only
after I pass the exam.
Shankar
Shankar.
Listen to me, Shankar.
Are you crazy, Shankar?
Fifteen lakh people appear
for this exam,
not even one percent make it
to the prelims.
So please, you don't have
to do what Dad said.
You've already done
so much for me.
You don't need to do anything more.
You'll only waste your years.
That's it.
You didn't think I'm poor, did you?
You didn't feel disgusted seeing
my father eat with his hands, did you?
Did you think those boxes in my house
would fall on your head?
No, Shankar,
why are you even saying this?
Your love has changed me
from an animal into a human being, Mukti.
This is merely an exam.
Listen to my words very carefully.
And don't make any errors
while listening to this.
I don't know what I'll achieve,
how I'll achieve it
or even if I'll be able to achieve it.
But I'll call you up only
after I pass this exam.
So the next time you see
my name on your phone
Be sure to answer it.
My mother's bangles.
Dad asked me to give them to you.
Keep them safe.
I'll make you wear them when I'm back.
Uncle
Chhole kulche!
Dad, I want ten thousand rupees.
Ten thousand?
What for?
I want to buy books.
Weren't you there
to talk about marriage?
Why does he suddenly want books?
He asked Shankar to
- Clear an exam first.
- Oh.
Which exam?
Well
CBSE.
Yes.
- CBSE?
- Yes.
- CBSE.
- Why?
No, it's the one that, if you pass,
you're allowed to put a blue
beacon on your car.
It's CBSE, isn't it?
No
- Not CBSE?
- Son, it's not CBSE
It's UPSC.
- Whatever.
- Really?
And you agreed?
Yes.
I refuse to eat this!
Alright, you two, tell me,
what's the full form of UPSC?
- Full form?
- Yes.
- UPSC U
- It's what it usually is.
UP? What's the full form of UP?
- UP
- U U
UP is Uttar Pradesh.
Yes.
And SC?
Uttar Pradesh. And SC is for
Secondary College.
- Secondary College, correct?
- Yes.
- Uttar Pradesh Secondary College?
- Secondary College.
Absolutely correct.
Look, I'll give you 20 thousand rupees
instead of ten thousand,
both of you should
start working as DJs.
He will play music while you
You pick notes off the floor.
Dad,
I'm determined to study very hard.
Don't push yourself too hard, son.
The result might come straight
out of your backside!
UPSC exam!
Hey, you, come here.
- Uncle, hold up. Hear us out.
- Dad! Dad!
Uncle, you're not taking us seriously.
At least give me 5000!
Don't overthink about it.
It was basically the addition
of the notes that I prepared.
Last question. Last question.
New aspirants who want to enroll
in the UPSC field,
what should their skills be?
UPSC
UPSC
UPSC
Like a girl hard to get
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
Like a girl hard to get
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
She outshines all the others
Turns them into drums
And plays them
And when this beautiful girl smiles
She sends your head spinning
Makes you dance
To her rhythm
Like a girl
She outshines all the others
Turns them into drums
And plays them
And when this beautiful girl smiles
She sends your head spinning
Makes you dance
To her rhythm
Like a girl hard to get
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
This girl is as tough as the UPSC
She'll show you sweet dreams
Then dash your hopes every day
She shows no mercy
She shows no compassion
She'll turn you into a rattling train
And grip you so tight
Sleep won't come your way
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
Like a girl hard to get
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
Like a girl hard to get
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
This girl's got me losing my mind
Yet this guy keeps chasing, never behind
UPSC exams are spinning my mind
Yet this guy keeps pushing, never behind
Stay strong, keep your eyes on the prize
Climb each rung, reach for the skies
It twists me up, it cuts so deep
-I often cry myself to sleep
-Like a girl hard to get
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
It twists me up, it cuts so deep
- Like a girl
- It inflicts pain so deep
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
It sends your head spinning
Driving you insane
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
Like a girl hard to get
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
Like a girl hard to get
Are UPSC exams, don't forget
- Why?
- You bring bad luck.
Put up a nameplate outside our house
with "Shankar Gurrukkal" written on it.
Put it up.
Within a year,
I'll have IAS written on it too.
Put up a nameplate.
Sir.
Sir
Shekhawat sir has called you
to the war room.
Jai Hind!
- Move, make way!
- Move aside!
Stay with me. You'll be fine.
All of these are made in China,
but we don't know
who's operating them,
or where they're being
operated from, right?
According to Intelligence,
they were operated from within
a radius of ten to twelve kilometers.
Find out more.
Sir, it doesn't matter
where they're being operated from
but the target is not what we think it is.
Go on.
They want us to focus
on the northern border, sir.
So that the Indian waters
become our second priority.
What do you mean?
I mean, 1959 Bhutan, '62 India,
Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam
South China Sea
They'll hit us where we're not prepared.
- Where it'll hurt us the most, sir.
- Which is?
Can't say, sir.
We can only respond.
How do you know all this?
Books, sir. I read.
Where did you read all this?
I I don't remember, sir.
Excuse us, gentlemen.
- I need some time alone.
- Sure, sir.
- Close the door behind you, Atul.
- Yes, sir.
I need you, you fool!
I can't revoke the order
for your discipline clearance.
I need those papers
to be signed, Shankar.
Who is this girl?
I don't know about you,
but she knows you very well.
Otherwise, why would a pregnant lady come
to a taxing air base like Leh!
I guess the stars
aren't on my side, sir.
For most people,
these are just phases,
but for me, it's never-ending.
Shut up!
I want this clearance!
I can't afford to lose my most
solid pilot during a war.
I want you in action.
Will she sign the papers or not?
Victory to Mr. Officer!
Down!
You smashed it, bro!
I've bought a suit for myself,
a safari suit for Uncle
and a loincloth for you.
Three of us will dress up
and go to that Behniwaal's house.
We'll also see that when a sewage rat
turns into a snake,
how those posh people tremble!
Vacate the throne!
The people have arrived!
Check, check.
Hello, hello.
- Can everyone hear me?
- Yes.
So, I'll take up a bit of your time.
Is that allowed?
Absolutely allowed, dear.
Some of you are aware that
I've been
in the USA for the last three years
for my post-doctoral studies.
But you may not be aware
that I'd applied to
the Defense Institute of
Psychological Research.
Two days ago,
I received a call asking me
to join the Indian Defense
as a Senior Counselor.
An officer now!
Dad always said
My son will shine in life
My son will shine
Today, we're not only celebrating
my selection,
I mean, of course we are.
But there's actually something
very personal
that I'd like to share with you.
Something rather, someone
Who is very close to my heart.
Give us some good news, Mukti.
Sometimes a person
is with you for years,
you meet them, talk to them,
they're around through
all your ups and downs.
Yet you never see them in the way
you were meant to.
And then years later,
suddenly you realize,
he's not such a bad guy after all!
What's happening?
What is the problem?
Soon we'll be allotted a house
in this very lane
- My son is an IAS officer.
- Yeah, whatever.
Two-wheelers have
to be parked there.
- Go park your scooter there.
- Why don't you understand!
You could get fired for this.
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome on stage
Mr. Jasjeet Singh Shergill.
My Jassi.
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
Auntie, you won't believe it, but we were
in the same college!
Even I'd forgotten about it
till he reminded me,
when we were dating in the USA,
that we studied together at DU.
Can you believe it?
Oh, hi.
Nice meeting you
Good. How are you?
- Long time.
- Have you come alone?
Security!
- We're leaving.
- Let's go, Shankar.
- Shankar, let's go.
- No, no, we're leaving.
Madam, let us pass.
- Come on, bro.
- Let's go.
- Let's leave.
- Don't do anything.
Let us through, madam.
Let us through, madam.
Let's leave.
Come.
Hey, Shankar!
What are you doing?
Have you lost your mind?
- Open the door, Shankar.
- Hey! Shankar!
Don't be crazy, Shankar!
What is he up to?
Shankar!
- It's here.
- Yes!
What's happening? Guys?
With reference to the Indian economy,
consider the following statements
If the inflation is too high,
RBI is likely to buy securities!
If the rupee is rapidly depreciating,
RBI is likely to sell the dollars
in the market.
Send more cops right now!
This guy has turned
the whole house upside down.
Careful.
If interest rates in the US
or in the European Union were to fall,
that is likely to induce
RBI to buy dollars.
- Choose from options A, B, C.
- Hurry up, go get him!
Options A, B, C!
- Shankar, stop.
- A, B
- Shankar!
- Mukti.
Shankar
Please let me go.
I wasted three years trying
to clear the UPSC, like a fool!
I have to stop him, Jassi, please
Jassi, I need to go.
No, Mukti.
I had told you, Mukti Behniwaal,
to answer when I call you.
Jassi, please
Why the hell didn't you answer the phone?
Jassi, leave me!
No, no, no!
Shankar, Shankar
please don't do this.
Shankar, everything will be ruined.
If there's a police case against you,
you'll never become an IAS officer.
I don't give a damn about the IAS,
Mukti Behniwaal.
Why the hell didn't you answer my call!
You're angry with me, right?
Go on, swear at me,
hit me if you want
But please don't do this,
Shankar. Please.
- Shankar.
- Mukti!
One second!
Jassi, just stay away.
Trust me, I know him.
I'll handle him.
- Move back, sir. Move back!
- Shank...
She'll handle it.
She can handle everything.
I'd told you,
if I fall in love,
I'll burn down the city of Delhi.
This party was paid for
at the cost of my marriage.
I will smear its ashes on
my forehead.
Now tell your boyfriend
how good you are at handling me.
- Take it inside hurry up.
- Escort the guests out.
Move back, quick!
Come this way.
We'd agreed on something
Yes or no?
Yes or no!
Yes, we had
Then why did you go back
on your word?
And if you changed your mind,
why didn't you tell me about it?
Shankar, please listen to me
Speak
I'm here to listen to
what you have to say. So say it!
Shankar, please
Calm down and think about it.
What you're doing right now
will undo all your hard work.
It's undone anyway.
I'm only here to get my due, that's it!
Why are you acting so out of control?
And what have I done wrong?
I'd told you in the very beginning,
I stood there on a similar terrace
and told you to
not expect me to love you back.
Had I or had I not?
I'd told you, "I'm in this because
I want to get my work done.
But if you want to do it
for love, go ahead."
Hadn't I told you this?
I was very clear, Shankar.
Your father set a condition for me,
in front of you
And I did my part.
If you didn't love me,
why didn't you tell him
"Don't set such a condition!
I won't marry this man even
if he fulfills your condition!"
How would I have told this?
Can you handle rejection?
Are you able to deal with a "no"?
I tried
I had come to your house to tell you,
"Shankar, this
This is not possible."
Would you have understood?
You were going around pouring
petrol on people.
Just look at yourself, Shankar.
You've burned down my house.
Can you handle being told no?
Can you?
And the "condition"
you're talking about
It's what could shape your life today.
Don't you see it?
Ask your dad,
he'll be able to see it.
Or ask that Ved, he'll see it too.
Or ask that tiny room of yours,
where there isn't even enough
space to sit and eat!
Even that room will see it, but...
Have I ever told you that
we feel suffocated in our tiny room?
"Please
Help us get out of
our dire poverty, Ms. Mukti!"
Why did you feel you had
to help my father or Ved?
Why did you make me
study Indian politics,
modern Indian history, and economics?
What did I care about
the Fifth Pay Commission!
What do you mean?
You've cleared the IAS prelims,
Shankar.
Clear the mains
and pass the interview
Don't you see the heights
of success this will lead you to?
I had absolutely no desire to reach
any height anywhere,
you silly woman!
Everything I did was for love.
If you found me, my father,
and my house so repulsive,
you should've told me.
Chasing that high-ranking
government job,
you took away the human in me.
Have you ever loved me?
Even for a day?
Even for a minute?
Or even for a second?
Have you?
No.
Damn!
I really thought she loved me.
But she didn't.
She didn't.
Love cannot be forced, Shankar.
We are very different.
The way I am
is beyond your understanding,
and the way you are
Is beyond mine.
- Move fast!
- Hurry.
- Please step aside, sir.
- Hey!
- Mukti!
- Move aside!
Open the gate.
- Quickly break it open!
- Mukti!
Mukti!
My skin is on fire, Mukti.
- It burns. Everywhere.
- Shankar.
Shankar
Do something, Mukti.
Do something.
Either shoot me
Or kiss me
- Or ask me
- No.
To jump off this terrace together and die.
Otherwise
Otherwise, with the way
I'm feeling right now,
I want to strangle you, Mukti.
Do something, Mukti.
Do something.
Strangle me then.
Because I can neither shoot you
Nor kiss you
Nor jump off the terrace
with you, Shankar.
All I can do is cry with you,
my friend.
Life is opening up for you,
Shankar, make it yours.
Please.
Just don't turn to me for love.
Don't go that way, there are cops.
Go the other way.
Does it matter to you?
No.
Not to me either.
My child.
Take him away!
Make sure I don't see him around!
Hurry up.
Be careful.
- Here, take this.
- Wait, stop.
Hold from here.
Hold it properly.
- Lower it.
- It's here.
Slowly lower it
- Careful.
- Yes.
Lower it carefully.
- Tidy up over there.
- Careful.
- Yes, I will. Keep quiet for a while.
- That's it.
What are you doing?
Do it properly.
There's someone here to meet you, sir.
Who is it?
This is nice for the
haldi ceremony, isn't it?
It's a nice yellow.
For the wedding, I don't want
to wear something too heavy, so
This Raw Mango sari,
I think, is perfect.
I've got a bandhgala
tailored for you
Let me know if you want it altered.
- Try it once...
- Do you want to talk about last night?
- He's my only child, sir.
- This entire portion.
- They will beat him to death.
- Take it all down.
He should've thought about it
before acting like a hero.
- Be careful with the chandelier!
- Yes, sir.
Here.
Sir, please
please forgive him.
Whatever happened
Has happened for the first and
the last time in our family history.
Excuse me?
"Family history"?
- Do you belong to the Dalmia family?
- No.
Or the Singhanias?
What bloody "family history"
are you referring to?
No, no. Please, please forgive him.
I don't want your drama.
- No drama!
- No, sir.
Careful, don't drop it.
People like you can only beg
with folded hands.
Why?
Is living with dignity
too difficult for you?
If a young man storms into your house,
hurls a petrol bomb
in front of your guests,
sets the place on fire,
pulls out a pistol
Worse, he locks himself inside a room
with your young daughter
As a father,
what would you have done?
- Well
- What would you have done?
I would have killed him.
This this is the difference
between people like you
and people like us.
His was a scary kind of love.
It was all so intense
I'd never experienced
anything like that.
Such dramatic love
And I didn't want that kind of life.
And I didn't know
how to explain that to him.
That's why I'd told Dad
To tell him something that
Would either defeat him
and make him forget me
or would turn his life around
for the better.
Whatever your intent, Mukti,
all of us witnessed
its outcome last night.
Don't you think you should apologize?
He returned after three years!
Was I expected to wait for him?
And I've never told him that I love him.
Never!
Never mind the apology,
just go and talk
to him at least once.
Is it possible to talk
to someone like him?
He might just set me on fire.
He's carrying petrol bombs, Jassi.
He
Mukti.
You should've put him
behind bars yourself.
I've been doing this for the last
ten years, sir.
But he hasn't changed.
What's the guarantee that
this won't happen again
within the next ten years?
I will take him away from here.
You will never see him again.
You bunch of buffoons!
I've been telling you
to be careful with this!
Subodh Gupta personally
gifted it to me,
and you broke it.
Sir, it's not my fault.
It was already broken.
It fell by itself.
Your son has caused trouble
For so many people.
You know what,
now that you are here
You should apologize properly.
Sir, please forgive him.
To everyone.
When he said, "Either shoot me",
or kiss me,
"or ask me to jump off
this terrace together and die"
You know what's scary?
For a second, I felt
I could do all three with him.
How is it possible for the same
person to do all three?
Tell me.
I saw it in his eyes
that he wouldn't stop.
Let's quickly get married.
I know the psychology of guys like him.
When they see a girl
in her wedding dress,
they leave.
Please, please, please,
I want this to end.
I want this to end, Jassi. Please.
Please forgive him, sir.
Please forgive him, sir.
Please forgive him, sir.
Please forgive him, sir.
Please forgive him.
Dad!
Please forgive him, dear.
You can pick him up
from the Parliament House Police Station.
I haven't lodged an FIR yet.
Because I'm a father too.
And make sure to stay out of Delhi.
Both you and your "well-established" son!
Sir thank you, sir.
This shouldn't happen again, understood?
Shankar
Shan... Shankar!
Shankar?
Shankar!
Shankar!
- Shankar!
- Stop shouting,
no one is deaf here.
- Speak softly.
- Yes, sir.
Shankar?
Shankar?
Shank...
Shankar?
Shankar?
Shankar
Shan...
Shankar!
Shankar!
Son Shankar
Oh my! What happened?
Shankar my son
Let's go.
Let's go home.
Careful
You know
When you were six years old
You'd love watching
airplanes in the sky.
You'd sit on the terrace all day
Waiting to spot airplanes.
When I would return from work,
you'd badger me every day, saying,
"Dad, I want to sit in an airplane."
I want to sit in an airplane.
"I want to sit in an airplane."
I was a mere notary officer
Sitting outside the court in Chennai.
How could I afford it?
Be careful.
You know what I'd do?
I'd tie your mother's scarf over your eyes
and make you sit on my cycle
and ride it very fast.
You'd put both hands up
in the air and shout,
"Faster, Dad. Faster, faster!"
And I would peddle as fast as I could.
The cycle would start rattling,
the chain would start creaking
But I wouldn't stop until
the chain came off completely!
Shankar, it was my dream
That one day
One day,
I will make you fly
in the world's fastest airplane.
And that both of us will sit
in it and shout
"Faster faster!"
Faster!
"Faster!"
- Who is it?
- Who is it?
- Have you called an ambulance?
- Dad
The other man isn't waking up. Mister!
Does anybody have water?
Get some water.
Dad, are you hurt? It's nothing
Dad
Dad
Someone check his pulse.
Check, please.
Mister, please check.
Mister! Someone get some water.
Dad
Dad Hey
Dad, I'll listen to everything you say.
Please get up. I won't repeat this.
I'll be a good boy.
Open your eyes.
I'll behave.
I'll study.
Look at me, Dad!
Open your eyes.
Hey! Dad
Hey! Dad!
Dad, Dad!
Hey! Hey!
Dad, please don't leave me.
Hey!
Hey!
Dad, get up. I'll study.
Open your eyes.
You have the world
My hands are empty and bare
Shattered dreams hang in the air
Wounds are fresh
My heart's aflame
Every part of me feels the same
You have the world
My hands are empty and bare
Shattered dreams hang in the air
Full of pain and despair
What can I say of the state I bear
Lost
A lost spark
Lost in the night
Roaming the sky
Why did I break?
I am neither glass nor a star
You have the world
My hands are empty and bare
Shattered dreams hang in the air
Wounds are fresh, my heart's aflame
Every part of me feels the same
A heavy debt weighs on my chest
Is it stone or heart, I cannot rest
Alone I stand, no one near
What kind of gathering is this here?
Half is mine, half belongs to you
You're the one I always view
Lava runs through every sigh
As cold evenings wrap me by
Lost
A lost spark
Are these tears
Or molten lead?
Why did I break?
I am neither glass nor a star
You're the one testing me
No favors now, let it be
I've learned to love
Learned passion
Even if hatred's all you give
In this country, all the broken-hearted,
burnt-out fools
They all start to look the same,
right, Mishra?
Get up, Mishra.
He is my client, not yours.
Name of the deceased?
Raghav Gurrukkal.
Why would Raghav be a corpse
beside Shiva's sacred river?
I want to know the name
of the one who'll be deceased.
Shankar.
Wow, Bhole!
You grant salvation to everyone,
but you couldn't grant it to yourself.
Her name is Mukti.
Whether you die or kill,
she'll never be yours.
Not in this world, nor the next.
I had a friend
A very dear friend.
He wasn't just a friend,
he was everything to me.
Such a friend, that one word
from me and he went to his death.
I've seen him so many times,
dancing wildly on the banks
of the Ganga.
Love will only lead you to death,
not salvation.
You can die for love,
but you can never escape it.
Save
Save me.
If
If even death won't lessen the pain
Then what will I do?
Your pain will never go away.
No one's pain does.
Get up.
Get up and take a close look
at your love, see it burn.
Come on.
Stand up!
Look. Look at your father's head burn.
Look!
His hands, feet, his heart
His liver and his ribs. Look at it!
Look at your father burn for your love.
You will die, Pandit.
Don't chase "Mukti."
Burn in your love so fiercely that
she falls at your feet, pleading,
"Please accept me."
As for the rest, don't worry.
Benares will perform your last rites
It does so for all the lovers.
Yes, they said that
her sari will be here soon.
- Why don't you come here?
- Yes, I have told him.
Yes.
- What are you doing? Take it.
- Phone call, sir.
One minute. I'll be back.
Have a sip. Nothing will happen.
- Yes!
- Yes, tell me.
He's taking out a bottle.
It's acid!
He's about to throw acid on her!
Look, he's about to throw it
I had gone to Benares
to cremate my father.
Thought I'd bring back some
holy Ganga water for you.
You're about to start a new life,
at least wash away your old sins.
I prayed to Mahadev for you
May Shankar bless you with a son.
Then you'll understand
that the ones who die for love
They, too, are somebody's sons!
In my lover's worship
So long did I stay
The world began calling me crazy
Day after day
Doting on your moods
Tender and bright
Keeping my memories close
Held tight
In devotion to my beloved
I stayed and drifted away
Shankar, it was my dream
That one day,
I will make you fly
in the world's fastest airplane.
From myself I broke
And sank into you
Are we the fragrance
Or is the fragrance us too?
Softly, slowly, spreading
Our fragrance everywhere
Softly, slowly, spreading
Our fragrance everywhere
My love
In my lover's worship
So long did I stay
The world began calling me crazy
Day after day
Every yearning has a limit
Tell me, where do you place ours?
Just say this much
These prayers of mine
Do they hold any value
In your eyes?
How many miles stretch between us
How far beyond me
Do you walk, my love?
In my lover's worship
So long did I stay
The world began calling me crazy
Day after day
Doting on your moods tender and bright
Keeping my memories close
Held tight
In devotion to my beloved
- My love
- I stayed and drifted away
My love
My love
My love
My love
My love
My love
Guilt is a pointless emotion, Mukti.
Don't give me your pity,
give me my airplane back.
I am not pitying you, Shankar.
I pity all the girls.
Girls dream of finding
their Prince Charming,
not a laborer.
They are used to being logical,
even in love.
But in that prince's love,
those logical girls miss that salt.
The salt that is found
in a laborer's sweat,
in his tears,
in his love.
You will strangle me, won't you?
If I tell you now
That I love you?
You've been drinking alcohol.
Alcohol?
I've even tried drinking petrol,
but I didn't die.
Waiting for your curse to come true
I've been spitting out blood.
But see, I'm still alive!
Then die.
Or don't die.
Just please sign my papers.
I really have nothing
to give you, Shankar.
You can ask me for anything
Except that one thing.
I won't sign on your papers.
Right now,
I'm not in the mood for love,
affection or forgiveness, Mukti.
I am only in the mood to fight.
I am in a bloody war!
So am I.
The Chinese army has just deployed
a hundred thousand soldiers in Doklam.
There are reports of tank
and artillery movement.
In the Indian waters,
INS Vijay is surrounded by
four Pakistani battleships and frigates.
And now they're making a move.
The Indian defense will then
be split into two parts, sir.
We are ready.
Let them.
What do you want, Mukti?
What will you lose
with that one signature?
You!
If you fly, you won't live, Shankar.
And what'll you get by saving me?
Every breath I take is
a struggle for me, Mukti.
It's not blood, it's hatred
that runs through my veins.
The only reason I'm living
is so that I can die.
The only reason I can't die is
so that you can live, Shankar.
Look at me.
Look!
My veins bleed
My feet get swollen every ten minutes
My eyes bleed, my nose bleeds,
even my mouth...
I am nine months pregnant.
I can't bend, but I'll still fall
- at your feet and beg you.
- Mukti
- Shankar, please don't go. Please!
- Don't do this.
- Don't do this, Mukti.
- Please, please
- Mukti
- I need you to stay, Shankar. Please.
- Please don't go.
- Don't do this, Mukti.
- I need you to stay. Please.
- Don't do this.
Stop it!
The cops smashed my soles.
I had three fractured ribs
here and here.
There was blood every time I peed.
Even I'm begging you
to please leave me alone!
I am so done with this bloody love!
I just want to fight now.
Fine.
I forgive you.
Please just sign my papers!
I'm not here to ask for your
forgiveness, Shankar.
I'm not stupid.
Cirrhosis has affected
my liver, not my brain!
I know it doesn't matter to you
if I love you or hate you
I'm here to ask you
for something else, Shankar.
Don't be scared, Shankar.
Our love is no less fierce
than bloodshed.
Please take care of my child.
Please take care of my child.
We've filed a movement order.
We'll take off as planned.
Sir, signal from AHQ.
So, finally,
it has started.
The Pakistani navy has started
an attack on INS Vijay.
It needs maximum air support now.
The entire Jaisalmer squadron
has been deployed there,
we have to be prepared too.
But, sir, if we give
air support to Vijay,
how will we handle the PLA on
our northern borders?
They are as deadly.
I want all my planes
on the tarmac in 15 minutes.
And every pilot in uniform. Now.
Sir!
I need you to plot the route now.
- I need your signature to approve this.
- Right there?
Over here. Take her.
- Make it quick, come on.
- Hurry.
A lot of blood has been lost,
surgery is needed.
- Please move!
- Move!
Jassi kept telling me not
to have a baby in this condition.
But I got him to agree to it.
I could never keep your heart.
Thought I'll keep your word at least.
What did you say to me?
"May Shankar bless you with a son."
See, I'm about to have a son.
Take care of him.
Mukti, look at me.
I am unworthy in my own eyes,
how will I ever be worthy of your son?
Call his father.
He's on INS Vijay.
He may never return.
If you fly, even you won't
return, Shankar. And I...
Who will raise him?
He'll turn out to be a sewage rat
if I raise him.
I've seen a sewage rat become
the best pilot in the Indian Air Force.
Sir, please step back.
Please
Please, do it.
Don't you guys take a risk
for a beautiful girl?
See how beautiful I am.
Losing in love isn't such a big thing
that I wouldn't honor your request.
I swear on Mahadev,
your son will not grow up alone.
I will be back.
Sign this.
Some people are destined for love,
and some for violence.
I am the second one.
Tell her
I'm lost, I'm undone
All alone, completely undone
My hurt blooms softly like a flower
Its fragrance alone gives me power
- Jai Hind, sir.
- They ask for this life that's mine
- Jai Hind.
- I hold these memories
Like lamps in my hand
Yet time doesn't seem to pass by
Tell her
Tell her
Not to be sad anymore
Tell her
No fire burns, no smoke in sight
After you
My world turned cold as night
Who knows what was lost
What stayed
And who I ached for
Even my passions fought, unafraid
From them springs
The scent of my shrine
They ask for this life that's mine
These dreams These games I play
Their beauty breaks me in every way
Tell her
Tell him
Half the story
Half alone, half together
To remain somewhere
Is this love or is this thirst?
Both equally cause me pain
This heart laughs like it's gone insane
Tell her
Hawk formation, clear for takeoff.
Tower copy.
Bloody hell! Let's tackle the F-16 first.
Roger. Turning right.
Turning left.
You are clear in contact
with F-16 formation.
We'll cover you.
- Copy.
- Go for the nearest frigate.
Turn right on radial 020.
One F-16 down.
Maintaining visual contact with INS Vijay.
Shankar, look out for frigates.
Shankar, check intention, initiate return.
Shankar, can you hear me? Respond.
What the hell are you doing, Shankar?
Eject.
Eject, Shankar! Shankar, Eject!
If I don't return
His father will.
Your love has turned my world around
In your love, I'm being drowned
Farewell, my friend
Farewell.
Tell your son,
Shankar never shied away
from drinking poison.
That his mother never loved
in half-measures.
In the din of daily life,
we let our first love slip away, Mukti.
Because time teaches us
how to trade love for routine.
We are the last generation with
the courage to love.
Those who come after us
will achieve great things.
Except love.
My heart longed to burn
some more in your love
But Mahadev willed only this much.
But I will return.
My love is far from finished.
See your son in his youth, Mukti.
He may not have my face,
but this boy will carry my lineage.
Hail Lord Mahadev!
In your love, I was never pure
In my love, you're not forgiven, for sure
Your love has turned my world around
In your love, I'm being drowned
Tell him
Salutations to the consort of Parvati.
Hail Lord Mahadev!
