"Seeing you,
I was no longer my own"
"Wherever I looked, it was your presence I felt"
"Seeing you,
I was no longer my own"
"The promises we made
together, felt most sacred"
"Seeing you.."
"How do I speak of the
rush I get when we meet"
"Oh how I lose myself in your silent ways"
"How do I speak of the
rush I get when we meet"
"Oh how I lose myself in your silent ways"
"Let me linger a while in your gentle embrace"
"In your lovely fragrance, I always lose my breath"
"Seeing you,
I was no longer my own"
"Wherever I looked, it was your presence I felt"
"Seeing you.."
"A bond formed quietly from soul unto soul"
"A thread woven tightly that made us feel whole"
"A sweet bond formed from soul unto soul"
"A thread woven tightly that made us feel whole"
"I am so enveloped in your colours that.."
"Even in my dreams
I am drawn towards you"
"Seeing you,
I was no longer my own"
"Wherever I looked, it was your presence I felt"
"Seeing you.."
Best selling author..
The next 3 book deal is already
signed with the publisher.
She's my best friend.
I am Aru Ma'am's manager.
Is it?
Ma'am, firstly..
.. what was your inspiration
behind this story?
We are all surrounded by inspiration.
At some point, all of us go
through something in our life..
when we feel that it's all over.
But it's not really over.
What feels like an end is actually
the start of something new.
All we need is some courage to adapt.
You will relate to every character.
Correct! Beautifully said.
Arundhati Ma'am, are you
writing your next book?
Yes.
I want to base my next
book on my own life.
I'll write my own story.
It's not easy to share your
personal story with the world.
We all have secrets.
I..
.. won't reveal my secrets.
I'll write the truth.
How nice!
- You've composed it well!
- Thanks grandma!
I haven't finished composing yet,
so let's see how it goes!
It will go well.
The music will be a hit!
All your songs are hits!
And how did your
publishing event go?
I would have come
if I wasn't recording.
Yes, the event went very well.
The journalists wanted to
know the topic of my next book.
Wow, that's amazing! I'm surely
attending the next event.
Okay! What about
your concert preparation?
Yes! We are ready!
Good!
Wait a minute. Did you take
your photo for your Instagram page?
Why do we need a new one?
Just upload one of my old photos.
An old photo? But you look
beautiful right now grandma.
- Right now? No way..
- Please, lets's go.
- No, please..
- Stand here for a minute.
Now look here!
Okay!
Okay, nice!
Maybe this angle?
- How many more?
- Face this way please.
Okay!
"The board is set, the pieces gleam.
A battlefield of thought, a waking dream"
"Every win, every loss,
makes you more.."
"Checkmate!
That's love, that's life, for sure"
"For sure.. for sure"
"Life is a game of Chess
Check check check"
"Wins and losses
Yes yes yes"
"Gotta play fast, can't play slow
One wrong step, and you go oo"
Good morning everyone and
welcome to the music and chess festival.
You must have seen music
festivals and chess tournaments.
But this event is very unique.
Today's music isn't entertainment..
.. it's going to be a reflection of the
moves, strategies and gameplay of chess.
On one side we'll have two chess
masters going head to head.
And on the other side we'll have a violinist who
captures their moments, emotions and chess moves.
For this unique experience let's
welcome the Queen of Strategy!
The magician of Chess!
Grand Master, Tanvi Deshmukh!
Tanvi!!
(everyone cheering)
Tanvi!! Tanvi!!
Tanvi.. Tanvi.. Tanvi!
Tanvi.. Tanvi.. Tanvi!
Now we need a talented musician.
Who not only plays the violin, but
also knows the language of chess.
Let's give a round of applause
to music composer Sagar Vaidya!
Sagar.. Sagar.. Sagar!!
Sagar!! Sagar!!
It's time to start this unique game
of chess and music. Let's begin!
We had a solid performance today!
As soon as I go home grandpa
will ask, "How was the end game?"
And mom as usual..
"How fast did you win?"
My grandma will say..
"You won people's
hearts with your music!"
Dad will say, "Your face shows
the performance was a success!"
And mom will ask, "Did it go
well or did you make mistakes?"
We're going to tell them right?
About us living in?
Yes of course, we'll
tell them tomorrow.
I think my mom will overreact a bit.
But it's okay. I'll handle it.
- You sure?
- Yes, yes.
Which is this?
Okay..
This one too..
- Mom?
- Yes?
What are you doing?
Just sorting the
book store books.
- Are you listening?
- Yes, go on!
Tanvi and I have
decided to live together.
That's great!
I mean, for how many days?
One minute.
How can you share
this so easily with us?
- How long?
- For a few years at least.
But I..
You're right but that's
why we want to live together.
We want to share our messy mornings
and see if we can handle weird habits!
What's the need?
It'll help in practicing for our shows
and to see if we're compatible.
Hmm!
But then why stay
together at night for that?
Such conservative thoughts dad?
One minute.
Not conservative.
- It's not our culture.
- Correct!
You have your career pressure,
Sagar has his new studio's pressure.
On top of that you
want to live together?
My dear, do you realise
how stressful this will be?
Mom listen..
If we live together we'll have so
much time to practice for our concerts.
In fact we can focus more on
our careers so there's no stress!
That's the point!
You should be focussed.
But we work together mom!
- That's it then..
- Listen to me.
What if, she comes and stays here sometimes
and you can stay at her's, right Rashmi?
Come on dad, I'm not
talking about a house swap.
One minute, the issue
isn't about living together.
There can be financial, legal and
social problems when you live together.
- How will you handle it?
- They haven't thought about it.
Wait! That's why we want to live together and
find out if we can handle it and pass the test!
Good. And what if you
don't pass in that test?
You'll change the girl?
Don't forget that you're a woman.
Don't you trust me?
It's not about trust, it's
about protecting boundaries.
Grandpa said the same.
He'll talk to you when
he's back from Delhi.
Mom, give us some time, please?
And after all of this..
what about your marriage?
We'll deal with that later!
Dad? What's the
hurry to get married?
- What?
- Listen to me..
Rashmi the fact is that,
they have already decided.
They are just letting us know.
Do we have a choice?
It's delicious mom!
Tell Shekhar breakfast is ready!
He went for a client
meeting in the morning!
Is it? Have some more..
My food never tastes
as good as yours!
That's not true! You cook
everything very well.
But the same dish is so much
better when you make it!
Enough for me!
Why aren't you eating?
Eat well.. I'll eat after you.
No! Fill your plate,
we will eat together.
Okay, let's go.
I wanted to have a
serious chat with you.
Go on.
I discussed with Sagar at length.
I spoke to Tanvi as well.
They are both very stubborn.
Look Rashmi, I've known some
long term live-in couples.
I've also known couples who got
divorced 2 years into marriage.
What makes you think they
won't get divorced after marriage?
This generation doesn't
compromise like you and I had to.
It's their life and they should
decide what's best for them.
Honestly speaking, I don't understand
the concept of live-in relationships.
Sagar and Tanvi are
both mature enough.
Don't worry so much.
And give it some time.
- Sagar?
- Hmm?
Have this.
- Let's go?
- Hmm..
Lets.
Oh!
That's interesting! You've never
played that move before.
I was stuck in a loop and you
played an unexpected move.
Wait, can you do it again?
Okay?
- That was nice!
- Hmm!
Okay, continue.
Nice!
Okay, let's continue.
Surprise!
Mom? You..
I was missing you a lot.
Double surprise!
What are you doing here?
What? Why?
Did you plan to come here together?
And dad..
- Is mom here?
- You're so scared!
Mom isn't here! Just me.
Please come inside.
We met downstairs
at the society gate.
We became friends
in the lift on the way up!
Let me seek blessings!
What about me?
Always be successful!
Hey! You don't have to!
You shouldn't do that.
I'm younger than you!
She got scared!
God bless you.
- Come inside..
- Let's go!
Wow! The food looks amazing!
- Good!
- Enough..
How is your new
studio doing Sagar?
- Good! Almost settled.
- Great!
That's great! You two
are a power couple.
The house looks good too.
Looks like a married couple's house!
They should get married.
Correct!
- Dad?
- Huh?
- How is mom?
- Your mom is doing great!
We had a huge fight
yesterday over the TV remote!
That's a regular thing.
That's the mark of a
happily married couple.
- Isn't it?
- Yes, it's true.
I don't think live-in
couples like them fight.
Yes.
They discuss everything together.
- Nothing like that..
- You're wrong dad!
- We fight a lot.
- Is that so?
Does he fight with you?
Does he cause trouble?
He never troubles me and he
always apologises after we fight.
What? You say 'sorry' to Tanvi?
That means you're ready for
marriage. I'm proud of you!
You cook very well Tanvi.
Have some more mom!
Isn't it crazy?
Out of everything my mom said, I can
only remember, "When are you getting married?"
You know, after a while, I actually
started hearing wedding chants in my head.
And if my mom were here today, all of them
would've definitely got us married then and there.
We took the right decision right?
What?
Are you serious?
We just moved in together Tanvi.
And does our
relationship need a label?
Are you afraid to give it a label?
What's wrong with you?
Everything is fine between
us, so let's not ruin it.
And didn't you say you're not
ready to get married yet?
Yes, but I'm not saying we
should get married right now.
So let's cross that bridge when we
get there instead of fighting right now.
Tanvi..
Tanvi..
What's more important is that
I love you and you love me, isn't it?
And I'm not saying we
shouldn't get married.
But let's take one step at a time?
Okay?
- Okay?
- Okay!
- You sure about that?
- Hey!
- You sure?
- Stop! I'm ticklish..
Hi Sir, may I take
your order please?
1 Assam black tea.
Water boiled precisely
at 95C, no sugar.
- Anything else?
- No, thank you.
Your order will come to
your table Sir, thank you!
Hmm!
You make very nice tea.
The water has to be exactly
95C while making tea.
Only then your
tea will taste great.
Who checks the
temp while making tea?
The water should boil for
2 minutes to reach 95C.
Oh wow!
You soldiers are spot on.
Your discipline shows in your shoelaces
as well as in your cooking skills!
Very spot on!
You observe me so closely?
Sometimes I feel like..
taking you somewhere far away.
Hmm?
Where?
Anywhere.
A place where no one can find us.
Aru?
I feel my life is very easy
and beautiful with you.
What else do you feel?
What else do I feel?
I'll tell you?
Tea is getting cold.
My dear Hari..
.. first love is like
an unforgettable memory.
There is a corner in everyone's mind where
the memories of their first love are protected.
Some sweet, charming, delicate
and painful memories.
Hari was my first love.
People used to think it was
foolish of me to love a soldier.
But one can't
choose who to love.
Every moment I spent with
Hari was priceless to me.
Hari loved me, but I?
I loved him like crazy.
To me, Hari was like a melody
that wouldn't get out of my head.
"A new touch, a new fragrance.. Each moment overflows within itself"
"Life has found a new meaning.. Which I never knew without you"
"A new touch, a new fragrance.. Each moment overflows within itself"
"Life has found a new meaning.. Which I never knew without you"
"Words feel true, emotions feel new.. Even music is overwhelmed with feeling"
"Why does my innocent heart
get carried away this way"
"A new touch, a new fragrance.. Each moment overflows within itself"
"Life has found a new meaning.. Which I never knew without you"
"Your heart is beautifully coloured in my sweet dreams of us"
"Seasons have blossomed, my heart
enchanted, as your hand rests in mine"
"New illusions, new longings.. The scent of love lingers in the air"
"Why does my innocent heart
get carried away this way"
"A new touch, a new fragrance.. Each moment overflows within itself"
"Life has found a new meaning.. Which I never knew without you"
"Your world seems to smile with every intoxicated sigh of mine"
"Your wandering heart is tangled, drenched within my embrace"
"I long for a new path with you,
the bonds of love softly hum"
"Why does my innocent heart
get carried away this way"
"A new touch, a new fragrance.. Each moment overflows within itself"
"Life has found a new meaning.. Which I never knew.."
"Without you.."
"Without you.."
"Without you"
Caught you!
- Give the diary back!
- No give it to me!
Aru, my poem is still incomplete.
Let me read it!
You can when it's ready.
It's about me so let me read it.
You shouldn't read a poem.
Nevermind.
You're meant to
feel the emotions.
Fine.
Aru!
Hey Aru!
Please listen to me!
You can catch waves if you wish..
You can catch waves if you wish..
Or etch our names in the sand..
Or etch our names in the sand..
If you happen to tear up..
If you happen to tear up sometimes..
then you can lose
yourself wholeheartedly..
.. wholeheartedly.
And?
That's all I've written so far.
It's still incomplete.
I'll write more.
Because you're here.
I'll think of something nice and sweet.
You write and I'll watch you.
Sure.
Aru!
Aru!
Everyone is looking for you
and your dad is very angry.
Let him look for me,
I'm not going home.
Hari!
Make her understand.
Careful!
She's still not back.
Go and check.
Where were you?
Is this the time
to come home?
Raghav, you joined them
instead of bringing Aru home?
- Aru..
- Actually..
.. the three of us met
after a long time.
We got busy catching up and got late.
If we knew Aru was with you,
we wouldn't worry at all.
Yes!
Anyway, why don't
you have dinner here?
Aru, wash your hands
and set the table.
I better go home.
My mom is waiting for me.
Hari, why don't you stay?
Tell us your army stories.
I would have loved to, but
I prepared dinner already.
Some other time?
I'll leave now.
Come inside.
Aru?
Aru, come have dinner.
I won't have dinner
till I get permission.
Fine, you'll come back to your
senses when you're starving.
Aru?
Aru?
What are you doing, you fool?
I got homemade 'modak' for you!
Homemade 'modak'?
I'm not hungry.
Hey!
- Are you going?
- You're not hungry!
Give me that box.
How dare you leave!
How will it fit like this?
Slide it from there!
Dad is knocking!
Don't just stand, leave!
Aru?
Have your dinner.
Eat please..
I won't eat till I'm allowed
to go to college in Pune.
Our town has a college.
But I want to study
in a big Pune college.
I'm aware of your ambition.
You have big dreams and
I want them to come true.
Then?
How can I send you
alone to a big city?
After all you're a girl.
You're a girl so we're
worried for your safety.
And you'll be alone?
- I won't be alone.
- Then?
Raghav and I will both
apply to the Pune college.
I'll have Raghav with me.
He's not your lifetime bodyguard.
- Raghav will go with you?
- Yes dad!
I see..
After Hari decided
to join the army..
.. Raghav and I decided to go
to a big Pune college to study.
I won't be worried if
Raghav goes with you.
Because Raghav takes
care of you like a sister.
I'll see if we can find a
suitable place for you in Pune.
- Really?
- Yes.. yes!
But before all that,
you need to eat!
Dad you leave, I'll eat.
No, I'll wait till you finish.
Pune!
Definitely! Eat now.
Raghav!
Raghav!
Wait a minute, slow down!
Calm down! What happened?
My dad allowed me to take
admission in a Pune college!
Hearing your screams I
thought he kicked you out!
- Listen..
- Hmm?
Did you tell Hari?
I will.
I need your help first.
- My help?
- Hmm.
You know I'd do anything to help!
- Really?
- Yes.
I've told my dad that you're also taking
admission in the same Pune college.
What?
What will I do there?
I can't come.
How can you decide
without asking me?
What will I tell my mom?
I can't leave her alone.
Can't you do this for me?
Didn't you say you'd
do anything to help me?
- Aru?
- Hmm?
Listen..
I'll do something.
I always took Raghav for granted.
I always assumed Raghav
would never leave me.
I went to tell Hari
about the Pune college.
That's when I found out..
that a war had
started at the border.
And Hari's holiday
was abruptly cancelled.
Hari left to fight in
the India-Pakistan war.
And..
And he..
.. he never came back.
"Jai Hind."
"A few hours ago, Pakistan suddenly
attacked 11 airports at India's west border."
"Pakistan's airforce repeatedly
attacked Amritsar airport."
"Cities like Pathankot,
Jodhpur, Avantipur, Amritsar.."
".. Srinagar, Agra, Jamnagar and Okha
have been bombed by Pakistan jets."
Raghav and I got married.
Raghav got a job in Mumbai.
And then we permanently
moved to Mumbai.
Eventually Raghav got
my parents to Mumbai.
I started falling in love with Raghav
because of his selfless love for me.
No news is a good news.
That's how I knew
that Hari was still alive.
But I still don't know..
.. where Hari is.
Or what he's doing.
And why he never came back.
"Seeing you.."
- Dad..
- Hmm?
Everything for the children is packed.
Only the caps are left to
be packed later today.
Don't forget the caps.
Are the blankets packed?
Everything else is packed.
There are a total of 50
boys and girls in this orphanage.
Okay.
Sir, a new batch of uniforms arrived.
Good. Have the Airforce
and Navy uniforms arrived?
Yes they have.
- Jai Hind, Col. Prakash.
- Jai Hind Sir.
The uniforms just arrived.
Thank you very much.
On the contrary, we have
to thank you Major General.
- Thank you.
- Welcome.
- Jai Hind.
- Jai Hind Sir.
Truly Dad, I'm getting to do
meaningful work because of you.
- Ah!
- Truly..
- Tanvi's call.
- Hmm..
Must be about your evening plan!
Yes Grandmaster?
Grandpa, I'm going home tomorrow
so let's not miss today's plan okay?
Absolutely!
No Major General!
Okay! Okay..
- That's enough.
- Yes.
- Stay back..
- Should I help?
We don't need anyone's help!
- Curry leaves?
- Yes.
Step back a bit.
Not so far back silly!
Give it to me.
I'm not a kid anymore!
Go ahead and add the onions.
- It'll burn otherwise.
- I'm adding it.
Turn down the gas.
It's down already.
- Take this.
- Yes.
- Carefully..
- Yes.
Looks great!
- The colour looks good.
- Hmm!
It smells great too.
The potatoes are cooked well.
The 'rotis' are soft and square!
Who needs round
'rotis' everyday right?
Please eat!
Yes.
- Grandpa?
- Huh?
You forgot to put
salt in the potatoes.
I thought you added it.
Last night I dreamt that
we were in Switzerland.
And our hotel was surrounded by snow.
I saw that we were walking over
the snow on a cold, windy day.
Someone needs to remind
her that she's 65 years old.
She's behaving like she's 16 again.
Seema, love isn't dependant on age.
Aren't you pleased to
see how happy she is?
She's too old for this.
Age is just a number.
It's rare to see such pure love.
My husband bores me a lot.
He's addicted to his phone and forwards
messages without even reading them.
- What will people say?
- Which people?
People will always have opinions.
What's important is being
in love and staying in it.
That's perfect!
Play the red card!
Who is winning?
- Come see for yourself.
- Coming..
We're like two puzzle pieces.
Thanks for always being my..
.. missing piece.
Happy fourth!
This is so sweet.
Thank you!
This is perfect!
- Was my reaction okay?
- Hmm!
What're you waiting for?
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your shadow
So dont ever leave me alone"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your embrace
So dont ever leave stranded"
"I can't hold back this pull towards you And now I'm losing my balance"
"Tell me how do I gather myself This madness for you refuses to fade"
"How can I ever leave your presence Nothing makes sense anymore"
"Your intoxication has taken over me I have lost awareness of my own self"
"I am alone, and you are too Dont ever stay distant from me"
"This moment, this closeness, May it always remain this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your shadow
So dont ever leave me alone"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your embrace
So dont ever leave stranded"
"Your touch takes my breath away, Your name always rises to my lips"
"I see you in the stars my love And I forget myself in it"
"Your touch takes my breath away, Your name always rises to my lips"
"I see you in the stars my love And I forget myself in it"
"How can I calm this storm within me?"
"I am drenched in your intoxication"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your shadow
So dont ever leave me alone"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your embrace
So dont ever leave stranded"
- Ma'am?
- Hmm?
- 'Bangarwadi'?
- Yes, I need it.
'Vyakti ani Valli' and
'Shriman Yogi' as well..
I'll go and get my laptop
that I left at home.
You don't have to go!
Mahesh will bring it.
He won't find it. I'll go.
Ma'am, you have a book
signing event in sometime.
I know!
I'll be back soon. Rashmi's
book list is in the laptop.
I'll be right back.
- Hari?
- Ma'am?
Oh!
Is it the same list
you emailed me?
Oh! Yes, I forgot I had
emailed you that list already!
After so long!
Yes!
- How are you?
- Good, and you?
- The best!
- Yes.
How is retired military life going?
- It's great!
- I live close by.
- Come home?
- Hey!
Maybe some other time.
We never meet!
- Come with me..
- No.. no.
- Please.. please..
- One minute.
What?
Oh!
Is everything okay?
Someone from my society died.
I'm the secretary so everyone
is waiting for me to reach.
- You should leave!
- Come home soon.
Sure, I promise.
- Bye then.
- Bye.
Give me your feedback.
It's great that you
read Marathi books!
You have to promise
me you'll come back.
You swear on my life.
You'll come back right?
Either I'll return after waving India's flag..
.. or I'll be wrapped in it.
But I'll surely come back.
You write so beautifully!
You guide me through your books.
This makes me very happy.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you ma'am.
Hi, I'm Ali. Your books
are amazing Aru aunty.
Wow Ali!
I'm happy to know that youngsters
like you read my books. Thank you!
Thank you!
I am Major General Harishchandra Deshmukh..
.. aka, Hari.
You swear on my life
that you'll be back.
Neha, let's take a break.
I'm okay, I'm okay.
Hari?
How are you?
I'm fine.
You?
I want to apologise to you.
Please..
Please don't apologise like this.
If you have time..
.. can we have tea?
Won't you ask me..
.. why I didn't come back?
What's the point of asking now?
I came back to the village to
meet you but it was too late.
You and Raghav were already married.
I had to get married.
Back then, I don't know how I
would've survived without Raghav's support.
I waited a long time for you.
You remember my friend Abhijit Raje?
In the war, he literally
took a bullet for me.
He became a martyr.
I lost a close friend.
He had a son named Vijay.
Abhijit's wife had also passed
away so the kid had no one.
All of this happened so quickly that..
.. I couldn't process any of it.
Then I..
I adopted Vijay.
I had come to the village
to tell you all this but..
But you had already left
after marrying Raghav.
And no one in the village
knew where you had gone.
Then, I came to Mumbai
with Vijay and settled down.
Everything changed for me.
Ma'am, should we leave?
We're very late.
Yes, we'll leave in 5 minutes.
Sure.
Sorry I'll have to leave
for a meeting now.
Yes.
Let's leave?
I'll leave?
Our conversation was incomplete.
Can we meet again?
Can you please
give me the book?
I'm happy that we met.
I'll leave?
"Don't leave me just yet"
"My heart still craves for more"
"In a hidden corner of my heart,
a heartbeat rises."
"While steadying myself,
I begin to stumble."
"At every step, I grow intoxicated
with the sound of anklet chimes."
"Only then, in life, does
one truly fall in love."
"Then you can lose
yourself wholeheartedly.."
"You can catch waves if you wish."
"Or etch our names in the sand."
"If you happen to tear up sometimes.."
"then you can lose
yourself wholeheartedly.."
".. then you can lose
yourself wholeheartedly."
"Today I realised that no matter how
much it hurts, we're willing to do it again."
"We are able to give
love another chance."
"Hari came back into
my life after 50 years."
"Just like he had suddenly left.."
".. he suddenly came back."
The thing is..
.. a few society members have
an objection to you living here.
Why?
We've discussed this.
What's the problem if we've submitted
our documents and police verification?
In our society we have some
personal rules that you're breaking.
Which society rule did we break?
We pay rent, we're not
doing anything illegal.
So how does it matter if we're
roommates, dating or married?
Exactly.
Our society is traditional.
It has children and families.
Your relationship is setting
a bad example for them.
This is pathetic!
You'll harass us just because we don't
fit into your outdated idea of a family?
Sagar..
If we were married, would you
interfere in our personal life?
There would be no issue then!
Your relation would be lawful.
Which isn't right now.
Our relationship isn't illegal either.
Enough. We're not going anywhere.
We have the right to live
here so do what you want.
- Tanvi, let's go.
- Sagar?
Tanvi?
Tanvi.
Our society is so orthodox.
Should we move?
We'll probably face the
same issues everywhere.
I was thinking why we should
fight these stupid battles?
Should we get married?
We're living together
so what's the problem?
One minute, why should we
change our plan for someone else?
And we'll get married when we
feel like we've made and achieved it.
Because we live together we'll
have to face these problems.
Look Tanvi, this is our choice.
- We're in it together.
- I agree.
But you can't get irritated when
we face practical problems like this.
Deal with it.
Dad, are you feeling okay?
You forgot to drink 'solkadhi'.
I'll have it later, keep it.
I've noticed that you've been
a bit restless since yesterday.
What happened?
Nothing at all. I'm fine.
What happened dad?
You can tell me.
Yes.
When I suddenly met Aru after so
many years, I realised how lonely I am..
Don't say that dad.
Our family is perfect.
After Vijay died, you
stood strongly by me.
You even raised Tanvi.
We both love you very much dad.
You're like a daughter to me.
And Tanvi's childhood..
.. brought me immense joy.
Both of you are amazing to me.
But, one thing about me..
.. is for a long time I had closed off a
corner of my heart completely.
Suddenly after so long..
when I met Aru, my..
.. closed corner got swung open.
But..
.. what will Tanvi say
if she finds out?
She will be happy that
you and Aru finally reunited.
Don't overthink it.
Go to sleep and drink the juice.
Dad?
We are with you no
matter what you decide.
Don't forget that.
Please rest and sleep soon.
"Seeing you,
I was no longer my own"
"Wherever I looked, it was your presence I felt"
"Seeing you,
I was no longer my own"
"The promises we made
together, felt most sacred"
"Seeing you.."
When you see yourself in the mirror..
you'll see..
.. how beautiful you look even now.
"How do I speak of the
rush I get when you get shy"
"Oh how I lose myself in your silent ways"
"How do I speak of the
rush I get when you get shy"
"Oh how I lose myself in your silent ways"
"Let me linger a while in your gentle embrace"
"In your lovely fragrance, I always lose my breath"
"Seeing you.."
Raghav should have been here today.
He would have been very happy.
He tried very hard to find you.
You didn't get married?
I never felt like getting married
after being separated from you.
Are you happy?
I am happy.
I waited so long for you.
- I even wrote a letter.
- A letter?
I didn't get any letter.
In that letter I had written that..
I need to tell you something.
I never thought we'd
meet again like this.
Should we talk to our families?
No, we shouldn't.
We'll tell them when the time is right.
Hari?
We'll have to deal
with this very gently.
Sagar and Tanvi's relationship
shouldn't break because of us.
"A sweet bond formed quietly from soul unto soul"
"A thread woven tightly that made us feel whole"
"A sweet bond formed from soul unto soul"
"A thread woven tightly that made us feel whole"
"I am so enveloped
in your colours that.."
"I feel like I'm living in a dream"
"Seeing you,
I was no longer my own"
"Wherever I looked, it was your presence I felt"
"Seeing you.."
Wow! Aru ma'am
what's special today?
- It's a lovely day!
- Oh!
How did you think of such
a brilliant idea like this?
To a soldier, his uniform is very special.
And by the time a soldier retires,
he has collected almost 12-13 uniforms.
Writers know everything!
It's true.
It's not like that.
I just took a guess.
You're great mom!
You guessed right grandma Aru.
Dad thought that..
if uniforms are recycled or upcycled..
..they can be disposed off respectfully.
We gained legal permissions
and started this endeavour.
Great!
Sudha works hard at the workshop.
In fact, she handles all
the production design.
Commendable!
If you ask me, such great work
should be advertised in public.
Tanvi created our
foundation's Instagram page.
Mom, why don't you write an article on
grandpa Hari's 'Vardi Cha Sanmaan' foundation.
I don't want any fame through this.
There's no need for any articles.
But I do agree with Rashmi.
How else will your work reach a non
tech-savvy generation like ours?
Your work will inspire people.
Your great work should
be known to everyone.
Hari met everyone for
the first time today.
I'm happy, but worried at the same time.
- Reached home?
- Yes.
- Sagar is a good man.
- Yes.
And Tanvi is so affectionate.
Both of them are a couple
that's made for each other.
- But Hari..
- Hmm?
They shouldn't break
up because of us.
They won't.
I won't let them break up.
Don't worry about anything, okay?
Okay.. okay.
I'll call you in the
morning okay? Good night.
You didn't sleep yet?
A friend from the army had called.
We met after years.
So we couldn't stop catching up!
- Dad?
- Hmm?
You're a bad liar.
- You can keep talking!
- Time to sleep, good night.
Bye dad.
- Good night dad!
- Good night.
"Don't leave me just yet"
Good night.
"..craves for more"
"Don't leave me just yet"
"My heart still craves for more"
Isn't that grandma Aru?
Is he your mom's friend?
I've often seen them together.
Yes, they're old friends.
- Is it?
- Let's go.
Today afternoon I went to the book
store and you weren't there.
Where were you?
Oh yes!
I had gone out to meet a friend.
Have you known Tanvi's
grandpa for a while?
What happened?
Have I missed anything?
I saw mom with Tanvi's grandpa today.
Oh!
My friend 'Sathe' was with me.
She said she had often seen them together.
That surprised me,
so I thought I'll ask her.
Tell me.
Hari, Raghav and I..
.. grew up together in Kudal.
You've known him for years?
You didn't say anything when
we met him at the workshop?
Hari and I suddenly
met after 50 years.
He wasn't just my friend.
We were in love
with each other.
But we couldn't get married.
Since my childhood we've never
hidden anything from each other.
You never hid anything
from me and..
.. you hid such a big fact from me?
I know she hid it from you
Rashmi, but she shared it now.
What do you mean?
She hid such important information
from us and you're okay with it?
Why did you do this mom?
Rashmi, I've hidden
another detail from you.
What is it?
Mom..
.. I cannot handle this any further.
Just be honest and tell me.
You're not Raghav's daughter.
What?
What is this?
A catastrophe or a mistake?
You forgot your culture?
Oh God! Why did you bring
this difficulty upon us?
We can't show our face
to anyone because of you.
I know we've made a mistake.
- Please forgive me.
- Forgive you?
Forgiving you won't matter.
Weren't you ashamed
to behave like this?
Yuck.
We'll take her to a hospital
outside the village and get it aborted.
Father..
We should do this
before anyone finds out.
What are you saying?
Mom! Say something to him.
I.. I..
I wont get an abortion.
I'll slap you if you speak.
You will come with us
or get out of this house.
- What are you saying?
- I'm right.
I won't kill my baby.
Aru wait.. Aru?
Let her go!
When I lost my balance,
Raghav was there to catch me.
After my parents kicked me
out, Raghav was there for me.
Even when I tried to kill myself,
Raghav was there to save me.
What?
Why are you suddenly telling
me this after all these years?
Neither you nor dad told me
anything and now suddenly..
You have betrayed me.
Betrayed me..
No dear.
We didn't want to hurt you
dear, that's why we didn't tell you.
And you did exactly that.
You didn't just hurt me..
.. you abandoned me.
You abandoned me in a second.
Rashmi listen.. I..
Yes mom?
One minute.
Your phone is ringing.
Hmm..
- Yes?
- Hello dad?
But why?
But what happened?
So suddenly?
What can't happen?
Okay, I'll reach by evening.
Don't be stressed.
You're with me.
So there's no stress.
Look mom..
Tanvi and I don't care
about grandma's past.
You don't know everything.
What?
Tanvi's grandpa Hari..
.. is my biological father.
- What the hell?
- Sagar!
Pardon my language, but..
.. now what?
Tanvi's dad was grandpa Hari's
adopted son right?
Yes.
So? What's your point?
It means you and Tanvi
aren't related by blood.
It's okay grandpa.
You and Sagar's grandma
loved each other 50 years ago.
And this doesn't matter to us.
Dad, there's no need
to worry about this.
Rashmi seemed progressive to me.
I think she'll understand.
Rashmi won't understand.
Why do you feel so
grandpa? She's really nice.
Even Sagar's dad
is very understanding.
No, she won't understand.
Why do you feel so dad?
Rashmi is mine and Aru's daughter.
What?
- Are you kidding grandpa?
- You didn't tell me?
I didn't know either.
I had gone back to the
village with Vijay to meet Aru.
There I found out,
Aru had left the village.
I was told Raghav
and her got married.
I really didn't know about Rashmi.
I'm responsible for all this.
Please forgive me if you can.
Grandpa?
Are you never
going to talk to me?
Don't ask me this right now.
I don't know.
Maybe I'll never talk to you.
I need time to process all this.
How can you shock me and then
expect everything to be normal after?
That's not possible mom.
You shouldn't have lied
about this grandma.
This is not fair.
How could you
hide this from me?
I thought we were friends.
I'm not a kid anymore grandma.
You could have
told me everything.
Sagar..
Why did you hide it?
Sagar, some things are
meant to be private.
There's no intention of hurting
anyone by hiding some things.
But some memories are
meant to be dearly protected.
Grandma, wasn't I worthy enough
to know your past and heartbreak?
It's not like that. You
were and still are worthy.
But I wasn't ready to share this.
Was our bond so weak grandma?
You were my world grandma.
I told you everything.
And you..
.. alienated me in a second.
It's not like that Sagar..
I shouldn't have lied.
Everyone is very hurt.
It's complicated now.
Can I..
talk to Rashmi..
.. and Sagar?
We should stop meeting.
You're right.
Tanvi and Sagar..
.. shouldn't break up because of us.
We are parting again.
I don't have the strength..
.. to live without you.
Aru..
.. will Rashmi ever talk to me?
I don't know.
Let some time pass by.
I'll see you.
Take care of yourself.
Take good care of yourself.
Hello?
I've been calling you,
why aren't you picking up?
We need to talk.
I agree, that's why
I've been calling.
Not now. Let's meet
day after and talk.
I'm going to Bengaluru for
an event, I'll see you home.
Okay..
I missed you.
You don't have to
hug me right now.
Why are you
treating me like this?
It's hard for me
to process all this.
What's going on with us!
Should we have tea?
I need it badly.
We'll talk after
I make tea for us.
I'm really angry
with this situation.
Even I don't
know what to do.
How could your grandpa do this?
My grandpa?
What do you mean?
You know the context
of their situation.
Look, I'm not angry with you.
But I'm angry
with this situation.
Why are you justifying it?
Don't you get it?
Don't question if I'm understanding
it without knowing anything.
I'm understanding everything Tanvi.
Your grandpa has
cheated my grandma.
No. He hasn't.
Don't take your grandpa's side.
He could have written
a letter to my grandma.
Why didn't he?
Even your grandma could have
written to my grandpa, but did she?
- Don't blame my grandma.
- Don't blame my grandpa either.
Look, I'm not blaming anyone.
How convenient Tanvi?
Your grandpa never thought of what my
grandma went through and he still wants to meet her.
I mean look at his audacity.
Are you serious? Do you
realise what you're saying?
And what's the problem if they are
meeting now? What's the issue?
- Are you in your senses?
- Are you?
Sagar..
I'm talking to you.
"This love..
Tell me, how it begins?"
"Tell me"
"These feelings..
Tell me, how do they come?"
"Tell me"
"Tell me, why do I suddenly
stop while walking?"
"Tell me"
"Tell me, why do I day
dream while talking?"
"Tell me"
"A bell keeps ringing deep inside me"
"And everywhere I look,
it's you I find."
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose myself?"
"Tell me..Tell me"
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose myself?"
"Why does love lift
me so far into the blue?"
"Why so far?"
"Tell me, why do I tie
my heart forever to you?"
"Tell me"
"Why does my heartbeat race so fast?"
"Why do I feel your presence
even when you're not here?
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose you?"
"Tell me..Tell me"
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose myself?"
"Tell me"
"Everything feels like
a fail without my love"
"Love is the reason,
that's why the world rotates!"
"Tell me, why does it feel
so safe to be with you?"
"Tell me..Tell me..Tell me"
"It's not something easy to explain"
"Love arrives quietly, without a name"
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose myself?"
"Tell me..Tell me"
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose myself?"
"Tell me.. Tell me"
"Tell me"
Aren't you hungry?
Lets go and eat.
I'm really not hungry.
You both go ahead.
I've made 'puranpoli' today Shekhar.
Please eat it.
Rashmi really likes it.
Even if Rashmi isn't talking to you,
she's not going to eat without you.
Rashmi I've made your
favourite 'puranpoli'! Have it..
I don't like it now.
Rashmi listen.. Rashmi?
Rashmi, what's the issue?
How long will you be quiet?
People make mistakes.
You have to let it go now.
Easy to say.
You haven't experienced something like this.
I wouldn't mind it at all.
If only she was alive today.
Fine.
Tell me, how has your life changed
after your mom told you her secret?
What about people
gossiping about us?
Oh! I couldn't figure
out why you're so upset.
Are you upset because of your mom's
secret or what other people will say?
Dear Rashmi, you must be
surprised reading my letter.
You must be wondering why I'm
writing a letter instead of talking to you.
Yes dear, I would have talked.
But you are not
talking to me right now.
I have a lot to say to you.
But you don't like
your mother anymore.
It was your astrological birthday yesterday.
That's why I made your favourite 'puranpoli'.
But you didn't eat.
I had forgotten that my Rashmi
doesn't like food cooked by me anymore.
Speaking of forgotten,
I remembered something.
I need a medicine.
I didn't find it anywhere. Can
you please get it if you can?
I have a very understanding
daughter named Rashmi.
I need a medicine to forget her.
I need a medicine to understand
that no one understands me anymore.
I'm very lonely now.
I need medicines to fix this.
Will you get it?
Your, mom.
Mom!
I was wrong mom.
No dear.. No.
I abandoned you.
Forgive me.
Okay dear.
"I'm silent.."
You've composed it very well.
Now write some nice lyrics too.
Thanks mom, but I can't
find the right lyrics yet.
Meet Tanvi and you'll find the lyrics.
Look Sagar, she's in
as much pain as you.
Think about her.
What's her fault in all this?
We're both wrong Sagar.
Neither of us thought about
how we hurt grandma's feelings.
Go and get Tanvi, otherwise what's the
difference between you and Tanvi's grandpa?
You need to communicate.
Mom, I'm very confused right now.
I don't know what's right or wrong,
and what I should do or not do.
I need some time.
You haven't slept yet grandpa?
Neither have you.
I can't fall asleep.
Queen to b8, Check.
- Grandpa please..
- Come on Tanvi, focus.
Fine. You can start.
King to h7.
d8 equal Queen.
Queen takes f2, Check.
- Oh my!
- It's a forced mate.
Rook takes f2.
Rook to e1, Check.
King to h2.
Rook takes f2, Check.
King takes h3.
Rook to h1, Check.
- King to g4.
- f5, Check.
Oh no!
King to h5 and
g6 is Checkmate!
Come on grandpa!
Well done!
I remembered..
There's an 'old age home' in Pune.
The people there want
to play chess with you.
Will you come?
- I'll come.
- For sure?
Yes grandpa. I'd love to
play chess with them.
Very good.
Grandpa? What if we do a
music event along with the chess?
Will Sagar join?
He might not come for me,
but he will for a social cause.
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"The music of your anklets' chime,
Rings softly through my heart"
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"Again and again she turns to see,
And hides her smile for me"
"I am yours and you are mine,
And suddenly the world shines"
"This tender pull I never knew
Has left my heart in pursuit of you"
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"The music of your anklets' chime,
Rings softly through my heart"
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"Again and again she turns to see,
And hides her smile for me"
"Let us weave with gentle care
Silken threads beyond compare"
"Let our names be etched forever
in our hearts, beyond time's domain"
"The world has blossomed all around,
My heart has lost its sense of ground"
"Even shadows glow with colours,
Drunk on the magic of this night"
"Hold me close if my steps stray"
"This sweet longing steals me
away and drives me crazy"
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"The music of your anklets' chime,
Rings softly through my heart"
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"Again and again she turns to see,
And hides her smile for me"
I'm so sorry Tanvi.
I behaved badly with you.
In fact, with everyone.
- It's okay.
- No, it's not okay.
Tanvi you know, you've opened my eyes
by inviting me to this 'old age home'.
Grandma Aru's friendship, her
love, felt like an affair to me.
I couldn't handle that situation.
But you..
.. but you made me realise
without saying a word.
This endgame between us..
.. you have won.
I didn't want you to lose.
I wanted to get you back.
We both were on
the same side isn't it?
I had faith in our love.
And I had faith in you.
After all our love is here.
Right?
Grandma?
You asked for me after days!
I'm sorry grandma.
I was very angry. I thought
you didn't trust me at all.
It's not like that dear.
My past wasn't mine alone.
It was Hari's and Raghav's equally.
Raghav didn't want anyone to know.
And I wanted to keep
my promise to him.
I was very selfish grandma.
I didn't think about your feelings.
I'm.. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
And I missed you grandma.
I can't live without you.
Calm down. Don't cry.
Happy Birthday to you..
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear grandma Aru,
Happy Birthday to you!
Great!
Happy Birthday!
Wow! Great! Be careful.
Will you pass the cake
before finishing it?
Yes, but before that..
.. Tanvi and I want say something to
grandma and grandpa in front of everyone.
Tanvi?
Grandpa..
Grandma..
We both think that you
two should get married.
In fact, we insist.
And grandma..
.. I insist.
Mom?
My dad passed away when
I was very young in school.
Since then I haven't
felt a father's love.
But I'm feeling it again
today, thanks to you.
But I was wrong and behaved badly.
I didn't understand you and mom.
Please forgive me, dad.
My mom has waited years for you.
I genuinely think you and
mom should get married now.
You spoke my mind Rashmi.
Dad, you've been
alone for 50 years.
Even I think that you
both should get married.
You want us..
.. to get married.
But you didn't get married.
You are living together.
So..
.. we'll also live together.
Live in?
I couldn't adjust to
the kids living together.
And now I have to adjust with
my parents living together as well?
That's great!
Are you sure?
Don't fight with me later!
This is a Kodak moment!
Sagar take a photo!
Get up everyone!
Grandpa, this way!
Yes!
Is everyone in the frame?
"Everyone insisted that we get married."
"But the bond between me and Hari
doesn't have a name and we don't need it."
"We have nothing to
gain from each other."
"We just want to spend time together,
laugh and take care of each other."
"We want a selfless relationship."
"Everyone understood us today."
"They respected our love."
"And accepted our relationship."
"There can't be a more
perfect ending to my story."
"Today, in a true sense,
my book is complete."

Best selling author..
The next 3 book deal is already
signed with the publisher.
She's my best friend.
I am Aru Ma'am's manager.
Is it?
Ma'am, firstly..
.. what was your inspiration
behind this story?
We are all surrounded by inspiration.
At some point, all of us go
through something in our life..
when we feel that it's all over.
But it's not really over.
What feels like an end is actually
the start of something new.
All we need is some courage to adapt.
You will relate to every character.
Correct! Beautifully said.
Arundhati Ma'am, are you
writing your next book?
Yes.
I want to base my next
book on my own life.
I'll write my own story.
It's not easy to share your
personal story with the world.
We all have secrets.
I..
.. won't reveal my secrets.
I'll write the truth.
How nice!
- You've composed it well!
- Thanks grandma!
I haven't finished composing yet,
so let's see how it goes!
It will go well.
The music will be a hit!
All your songs are hits!
And how did your
publishing event go?
I would have come
if I wasn't recording.
Yes, the event went very well.
The journalists wanted to
know the topic of my next book.
Wow, that's amazing! I'm surely
attending the next event.
Okay! What about
your concert preparation?
Yes! We are ready!
Good!
Wait a minute. Did you take
your photo for your Instagram page?
Why do we need a new one?
Just upload one of my old photos.
An old photo? But you look
beautiful right now grandma.
- Right now? No way..
- Please, lets's go.
- No, please..
- Stand here for a minute.
Now look here!
Okay!
Okay, nice!
Maybe this angle?
- How many more?
- Face this way please.
Okay!
"The board is set, the pieces gleam.
A battlefield of thought, a waking dream"
"Every win, every loss,
makes you more.."
"Checkmate!
That's love, that's life, for sure"
"For sure.. for sure"
"Life is a game of Chess
Check check check"
"Wins and losses
Yes yes yes"
"Gotta play fast, can't play slow
One wrong step, and you go oo"
Good morning everyone and
welcome to the music and chess festival.
You must have seen music
festivals and chess tournaments.
But this event is very unique.
Today's music isn't entertainment..
.. it's going to be a reflection of the
moves, strategies and gameplay of chess.
On one side we'll have two chess
masters going head to head.
And on the other side we'll have a violinist who
captures their moments, emotions and chess moves.
For this unique experience let's
welcome the Queen of Strategy!
The magician of Chess!
Grand Master, Tanvi Deshmukh!
Tanvi!!
(everyone cheering)
Tanvi!! Tanvi!!
Tanvi.. Tanvi.. Tanvi!
Tanvi.. Tanvi.. Tanvi!
Now we need a talented musician.
Who not only plays the violin, but
also knows the language of chess.
Let's give a round of applause
to music composer Sagar Vaidya!
Sagar.. Sagar.. Sagar!!
Sagar!! Sagar!!
It's time to start this unique game
of chess and music. Let's begin!
We had a solid performance today!
As soon as I go home grandpa
will ask, "How was the end game?"
And mom as usual..
"How fast did you win?"
My grandma will say..
"You won people's
hearts with your music!"
Dad will say, "Your face shows
the performance was a success!"
And mom will ask, "Did it go
well or did you make mistakes?"
We're going to tell them right?
About us living in?
Yes of course, we'll
tell them tomorrow.
I think my mom will overreact a bit.
But it's okay. I'll handle it.
- You sure?
- Yes, yes.
Which is this?
Okay..
This one too..
- Mom?
- Yes?
What are you doing?
Just sorting the
book store books.
- Are you listening?
- Yes, go on!
Tanvi and I have
decided to live together.
That's great!
I mean, for how many days?
One minute.
How can you share
this so easily with us?
- How long?
- For a few years at least.
But I..
You're right but that's
why we want to live together.
We want to share our messy mornings
and see if we can handle weird habits!
What's the need?
It'll help in practicing for our shows
and to see if we're compatible.
Hmm!
But then why stay
together at night for that?
Such conservative thoughts dad?
One minute.
Not conservative.
- It's not our culture.
- Correct!
You have your career pressure,
Sagar has his new studio's pressure.
On top of that you
want to live together?
My dear, do you realise
how stressful this will be?
Mom listen..
If we live together we'll have so
much time to practice for our concerts.
In fact we can focus more on
our careers so there's no stress!
That's the point!
You should be focussed.
But we work together mom!
- That's it then..
- Listen to me.
What if, she comes and stays here sometimes
and you can stay at her's, right Rashmi?
Come on dad, I'm not
talking about a house swap.
One minute, the issue
isn't about living together.
There can be financial, legal and
social problems when you live together.
- How will you handle it?
- They haven't thought about it.
Wait! That's why we want to live together and
find out if we can handle it and pass the test!
Good. And what if you
don't pass in that test?
You'll change the girl?
Don't forget that you're a woman.
Don't you trust me?
It's not about trust, it's
about protecting boundaries.
Grandpa said the same.
He'll talk to you when
he's back from Delhi.
Mom, give us some time, please?
And after all of this..
what about your marriage?
We'll deal with that later!
Dad? What's the
hurry to get married?
- What?
- Listen to me..
Rashmi the fact is that,
they have already decided.
They are just letting us know.
Do we have a choice?
It's delicious mom!
Tell Shekhar breakfast is ready!
He went for a client
meeting in the morning!
Is it? Have some more..
My food never tastes
as good as yours!
That's not true! You cook
everything very well.
But the same dish is so much
better when you make it!
Enough for me!
Why aren't you eating?
Eat well.. I'll eat after you.
No! Fill your plate,
we will eat together.
Okay, let's go.
I wanted to have a
serious chat with you.
Go on.
I discussed with Sagar at length.
I spoke to Tanvi as well.
They are both very stubborn.
Look Rashmi, I've known some
long term live-in couples.
I've also known couples who got
divorced 2 years into marriage.
What makes you think they
won't get divorced after marriage?
This generation doesn't
compromise like you and I had to.
It's their life and they should
decide what's best for them.
Honestly speaking, I don't understand
the concept of live-in relationships.
Sagar and Tanvi are
both mature enough.
Don't worry so much.
And give it some time.
- Sagar?
- Hmm?
Have this.
- Let's go?
- Hmm..
Lets.
Oh!
That's interesting! You've never
played that move before.
I was stuck in a loop and you
played an unexpected move.
Wait, can you do it again?
Okay?
- That was nice!
- Hmm!
Okay, continue.
Nice!
Okay, let's continue.
Surprise!
Mom? You..
I was missing you a lot.
Double surprise!
What are you doing here?
What? Why?
Did you plan to come here together?
And dad..
- Is mom here?
- You're so scared!
Mom isn't here! Just me.
Please come inside.
We met downstairs
at the society gate.
We became friends
in the lift on the way up!
Let me seek blessings!
What about me?
Always be successful!
Hey! You don't have to!
You shouldn't do that.
I'm younger than you!
She got scared!
God bless you.
- Come inside..
- Let's go!
Wow! The food looks amazing!
- Good!
- Enough..
How is your new
studio doing Sagar?
- Good! Almost settled.
- Great!
That's great! You two
are a power couple.
The house looks good too.
Looks like a married couple's house!
They should get married.
Correct!
- Dad?
- Huh?
- How is mom?
- Your mom is doing great!
We had a huge fight
yesterday over the TV remote!
That's a regular thing.
That's the mark of a
happily married couple.
- Isn't it?
- Yes, it's true.
I don't think live-in
couples like them fight.
Yes.
They discuss everything together.
- Nothing like that..
- You're wrong dad!
- We fight a lot.
- Is that so?
Does he fight with you?
Does he cause trouble?
He never troubles me and he
always apologises after we fight.
What? You say 'sorry' to Tanvi?
That means you're ready for
marriage. I'm proud of you!
You cook very well Tanvi.
Have some more mom!
Isn't it crazy?
Out of everything my mom said, I can
only remember, "When are you getting married?"
You know, after a while, I actually
started hearing wedding chants in my head.
And if my mom were here today, all of them
would've definitely got us married then and there.
We took the right decision right?
What?
Are you serious?
We just moved in together Tanvi.
And does our
relationship need a label?
Are you afraid to give it a label?
What's wrong with you?
Everything is fine between
us, so let's not ruin it.
And didn't you say you're not
ready to get married yet?
Yes, but I'm not saying we
should get married right now.
So let's cross that bridge when we
get there instead of fighting right now.
Tanvi..
Tanvi..
What's more important is that
I love you and you love me, isn't it?
And I'm not saying we
shouldn't get married.
But let's take one step at a time?
Okay?
- Okay?
- Okay!
- You sure about that?
- Hey!
- You sure?
- Stop! I'm ticklish..
Hi Sir, may I take
your order please?
1 Assam black tea.
Water boiled precisely
at 95C, no sugar.
- Anything else?
- No, thank you.
Your order will come to
your table Sir, thank you!
Hmm!
You make very nice tea.
The water has to be exactly
95C while making tea.
Only then your
tea will taste great.
Who checks the
temp while making tea?
The water should boil for
2 minutes to reach 95C.
Oh wow!
You soldiers are spot on.
Your discipline shows in your shoelaces
as well as in your cooking skills!
Very spot on!
You observe me so closely?
Sometimes I feel like..
taking you somewhere far away.
Hmm?
Where?
Anywhere.
A place where no one can find us.
Aru?
I feel my life is very easy
and beautiful with you.
What else do you feel?
What else do I feel?
I'll tell you?
Tea is getting cold.
My dear Hari..
.. first love is like
an unforgettable memory.
There is a corner in everyone's mind where
the memories of their first love are protected.
Some sweet, charming, delicate
and painful memories.
Hari was my first love.
People used to think it was
foolish of me to love a soldier.
But one can't
choose who to love.
Every moment I spent with
Hari was priceless to me.
Hari loved me, but I?
I loved him like crazy.
To me, Hari was like a melody
that wouldn't get out of my head.
"A new touch, a new fragrance.. Each moment overflows within itself"
"Life has found a new meaning.. Which I never knew without you"
"A new touch, a new fragrance.. Each moment overflows within itself"
"Life has found a new meaning.. Which I never knew without you"
"Words feel true, emotions feel new.. Even music is overwhelmed with feeling"
"Why does my innocent heart
get carried away this way"
"A new touch, a new fragrance.. Each moment overflows within itself"
"Life has found a new meaning.. Which I never knew without you"
"Your heart is beautifully coloured in my sweet dreams of us"
"Seasons have blossomed, my heart
enchanted, as your hand rests in mine"
"New illusions, new longings.. The scent of love lingers in the air"
"Why does my innocent heart
get carried away this way"
"A new touch, a new fragrance.. Each moment overflows within itself"
"Life has found a new meaning.. Which I never knew without you"
"Your world seems to smile with every intoxicated sigh of mine"
"Your wandering heart is tangled, drenched within my embrace"
"I long for a new path with you,
the bonds of love softly hum"
"Why does my innocent heart
get carried away this way"
"A new touch, a new fragrance.. Each moment overflows within itself"
"Life has found a new meaning.. Which I never knew.."
"Without you.."
"Without you.."
"Without you"
Caught you!
- Give the diary back!
- No give it to me!
Aru, my poem is still incomplete.
Let me read it!
You can when it's ready.
It's about me so let me read it.
You shouldn't read a poem.
Nevermind.
You're meant to
feel the emotions.
Fine.
Aru!
Hey Aru!
Please listen to me!
You can catch waves if you wish..
You can catch waves if you wish..
Or etch our names in the sand..
Or etch our names in the sand..
If you happen to tear up..
If you happen to tear up sometimes..
then you can lose
yourself wholeheartedly..
.. wholeheartedly.
And?
That's all I've written so far.
It's still incomplete.
I'll write more.
Because you're here.
I'll think of something nice and sweet.
You write and I'll watch you.
Sure.
Aru!
Aru!
Everyone is looking for you
and your dad is very angry.
Let him look for me,
I'm not going home.
Hari!
Make her understand.
Careful!
She's still not back.
Go and check.
Where were you?
Is this the time
to come home?
Raghav, you joined them
instead of bringing Aru home?
- Aru..
- Actually..
.. the three of us met
after a long time.
We got busy catching up and got late.
If we knew Aru was with you,
we wouldn't worry at all.
Yes!
Anyway, why don't
you have dinner here?
Aru, wash your hands
and set the table.
I better go home.
My mom is waiting for me.
Hari, why don't you stay?
Tell us your army stories.
I would have loved to, but
I prepared dinner already.
Some other time?
I'll leave now.
Come inside.
Aru?
Aru, come have dinner.
I won't have dinner
till I get permission.
Fine, you'll come back to your
senses when you're starving.
Aru?
Aru?
What are you doing, you fool?
I got homemade 'modak' for you!
Homemade 'modak'?
I'm not hungry.
Hey!
- Are you going?
- You're not hungry!
Give me that box.
How dare you leave!
How will it fit like this?
Slide it from there!
Dad is knocking!
Don't just stand, leave!
Aru?
Have your dinner.
Eat please..
I won't eat till I'm allowed
to go to college in Pune.
Our town has a college.
But I want to study
in a big Pune college.
I'm aware of your ambition.
You have big dreams and
I want them to come true.
Then?
How can I send you
alone to a big city?
After all you're a girl.
You're a girl so we're
worried for your safety.
And you'll be alone?
- I won't be alone.
- Then?
Raghav and I will both
apply to the Pune college.
I'll have Raghav with me.
He's not your lifetime bodyguard.
- Raghav will go with you?
- Yes dad!
I see..
After Hari decided
to join the army..
.. Raghav and I decided to go
to a big Pune college to study.
I won't be worried if
Raghav goes with you.
Because Raghav takes
care of you like a sister.
I'll see if we can find a
suitable place for you in Pune.
- Really?
- Yes.. yes!
But before all that,
you need to eat!
Dad you leave, I'll eat.
No, I'll wait till you finish.
Pune!
Definitely! Eat now.
Raghav!
Raghav!
Wait a minute, slow down!
Calm down! What happened?
My dad allowed me to take
admission in a Pune college!
Hearing your screams I
thought he kicked you out!
- Listen..
- Hmm?
Did you tell Hari?
I will.
I need your help first.
- My help?
- Hmm.
You know I'd do anything to help!
- Really?
- Yes.
I've told my dad that you're also taking
admission in the same Pune college.
What?
What will I do there?
I can't come.
How can you decide
without asking me?
What will I tell my mom?
I can't leave her alone.
Can't you do this for me?
Didn't you say you'd
do anything to help me?
- Aru?
- Hmm?
Listen..
I'll do something.
I always took Raghav for granted.
I always assumed Raghav
would never leave me.
I went to tell Hari
about the Pune college.
That's when I found out..
that a war had
started at the border.
And Hari's holiday
was abruptly cancelled.
Hari left to fight in
the India-Pakistan war.
And..
And he..
.. he never came back.
"Jai Hind."
"A few hours ago, Pakistan suddenly
attacked 11 airports at India's west border."
"Pakistan's airforce repeatedly
attacked Amritsar airport."
"Cities like Pathankot,
Jodhpur, Avantipur, Amritsar.."
".. Srinagar, Agra, Jamnagar and Okha
have been bombed by Pakistan jets."
Raghav and I got married.
Raghav got a job in Mumbai.
And then we permanently
moved to Mumbai.
Eventually Raghav got
my parents to Mumbai.
I started falling in love with Raghav
because of his selfless love for me.
No news is a good news.
That's how I knew
that Hari was still alive.
But I still don't know..
.. where Hari is.
Or what he's doing.
And why he never came back.
"Seeing you.."
- Dad..
- Hmm?
Everything for the children is packed.
Only the caps are left to
be packed later today.
Don't forget the caps.
Are the blankets packed?
Everything else is packed.
There are a total of 50
boys and girls in this orphanage.
Okay.
Sir, a new batch of uniforms arrived.
Good. Have the Airforce
and Navy uniforms arrived?
Yes they have.
- Jai Hind, Col. Prakash.
- Jai Hind Sir.
The uniforms just arrived.
Thank you very much.
On the contrary, we have
to thank you Major General.
- Thank you.
- Welcome.
- Jai Hind.
- Jai Hind Sir.
Truly Dad, I'm getting to do
meaningful work because of you.
- Ah!
- Truly..
- Tanvi's call.
- Hmm..
Must be about your evening plan!
Yes Grandmaster?
Grandpa, I'm going home tomorrow
so let's not miss today's plan okay?
Absolutely!
No Major General!
Okay! Okay..
- That's enough.
- Yes.
- Stay back..
- Should I help?
We don't need anyone's help!
- Curry leaves?
- Yes.
Step back a bit.
Not so far back silly!
Give it to me.
I'm not a kid anymore!
Go ahead and add the onions.
- It'll burn otherwise.
- I'm adding it.
Turn down the gas.
It's down already.
- Take this.
- Yes.
- Carefully..
- Yes.
Looks great!
- The colour looks good.
- Hmm!
It smells great too.
The potatoes are cooked well.
The 'rotis' are soft and square!
Who needs round
'rotis' everyday right?
Please eat!
Yes.
- Grandpa?
- Huh?
You forgot to put
salt in the potatoes.
I thought you added it.
Last night I dreamt that
we were in Switzerland.
And our hotel was surrounded by snow.
I saw that we were walking over
the snow on a cold, windy day.
Someone needs to remind
her that she's 65 years old.
She's behaving like she's 16 again.
Seema, love isn't dependant on age.
Aren't you pleased to
see how happy she is?
She's too old for this.
Age is just a number.
It's rare to see such pure love.
My husband bores me a lot.
He's addicted to his phone and forwards
messages without even reading them.
- What will people say?
- Which people?
People will always have opinions.
What's important is being
in love and staying in it.
That's perfect!
Play the red card!
Who is winning?
- Come see for yourself.
- Coming..
We're like two puzzle pieces.
Thanks for always being my..
.. missing piece.
Happy fourth!
This is so sweet.
Thank you!
This is perfect!
- Was my reaction okay?
- Hmm!
What're you waiting for?
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your shadow
So dont ever leave me alone"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your embrace
So dont ever leave stranded"
"I can't hold back this pull towards you And now I'm losing my balance"
"Tell me how do I gather myself This madness for you refuses to fade"
"How can I ever leave your presence Nothing makes sense anymore"
"Your intoxication has taken over me I have lost awareness of my own self"
"I am alone, and you are too Dont ever stay distant from me"
"This moment, this closeness, May it always remain this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your shadow
So dont ever leave me alone"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your embrace
So dont ever leave stranded"
"Your touch takes my breath away, Your name always rises to my lips"
"I see you in the stars my love And I forget myself in it"
"Your touch takes my breath away, Your name always rises to my lips"
"I see you in the stars my love And I forget myself in it"
"How can I calm this storm within me?"
"I am drenched in your intoxication"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your shadow
So dont ever leave me alone"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"Dont go far away
from me this way"
"I'm now attached to your embrace
So dont ever leave stranded"
- Ma'am?
- Hmm?
- 'Bangarwadi'?
- Yes, I need it.
'Vyakti ani Valli' and
'Shriman Yogi' as well..
I'll go and get my laptop
that I left at home.
You don't have to go!
Mahesh will bring it.
He won't find it. I'll go.
Ma'am, you have a book
signing event in sometime.
I know!
I'll be back soon. Rashmi's
book list is in the laptop.
I'll be right back.
- Hari?
- Ma'am?
Oh!
Is it the same list
you emailed me?
Oh! Yes, I forgot I had
emailed you that list already!
After so long!
Yes!
- How are you?
- Good, and you?
- The best!
- Yes.
How is retired military life going?
- It's great!
- I live close by.
- Come home?
- Hey!
Maybe some other time.
We never meet!
- Come with me..
- No.. no.
- Please.. please..
- One minute.
What?
Oh!
Is everything okay?
Someone from my society died.
I'm the secretary so everyone
is waiting for me to reach.
- You should leave!
- Come home soon.
Sure, I promise.
- Bye then.
- Bye.
Give me your feedback.
It's great that you
read Marathi books!
You have to promise
me you'll come back.
You swear on my life.
You'll come back right?
Either I'll return after waving India's flag..
.. or I'll be wrapped in it.
But I'll surely come back.
You write so beautifully!
You guide me through your books.
This makes me very happy.
- Thank you so much.
- Thank you ma'am.
Hi, I'm Ali. Your books
are amazing Aru aunty.
Wow Ali!
I'm happy to know that youngsters
like you read my books. Thank you!
Thank you!
I am Major General Harishchandra Deshmukh..
.. aka, Hari.
You swear on my life
that you'll be back.
Neha, let's take a break.
I'm okay, I'm okay.
Hari?
How are you?
I'm fine.
You?
I want to apologise to you.
Please..
Please don't apologise like this.
If you have time..
.. can we have tea?
Won't you ask me..
.. why I didn't come back?
What's the point of asking now?
I came back to the village to
meet you but it was too late.
You and Raghav were already married.
I had to get married.
Back then, I don't know how I
would've survived without Raghav's support.
I waited a long time for you.
You remember my friend Abhijit Raje?
In the war, he literally
took a bullet for me.
He became a martyr.
I lost a close friend.
He had a son named Vijay.
Abhijit's wife had also passed
away so the kid had no one.
All of this happened so quickly that..
.. I couldn't process any of it.
Then I..
I adopted Vijay.
I had come to the village
to tell you all this but..
But you had already left
after marrying Raghav.
And no one in the village
knew where you had gone.
Then, I came to Mumbai
with Vijay and settled down.
Everything changed for me.
Ma'am, should we leave?
We're very late.
Yes, we'll leave in 5 minutes.
Sure.
Sorry I'll have to leave
for a meeting now.
Yes.
Let's leave?
I'll leave?
Our conversation was incomplete.
Can we meet again?
Can you please
give me the book?
I'm happy that we met.
I'll leave?
"Don't leave me just yet"
"My heart still craves for more"
"In a hidden corner of my heart,
a heartbeat rises."
"While steadying myself,
I begin to stumble."
"At every step, I grow intoxicated
with the sound of anklet chimes."
"Only then, in life, does
one truly fall in love."
"Then you can lose
yourself wholeheartedly.."
"You can catch waves if you wish."
"Or etch our names in the sand."
"If you happen to tear up sometimes.."
"then you can lose
yourself wholeheartedly.."
".. then you can lose
yourself wholeheartedly."
"Today I realised that no matter how
much it hurts, we're willing to do it again."
"We are able to give
love another chance."
"Hari came back into
my life after 50 years."
"Just like he had suddenly left.."
".. he suddenly came back."
The thing is..
.. a few society members have
an objection to you living here.
Why?
We've discussed this.
What's the problem if we've submitted
our documents and police verification?
In our society we have some
personal rules that you're breaking.
Which society rule did we break?
We pay rent, we're not
doing anything illegal.
So how does it matter if we're
roommates, dating or married?
Exactly.
Our society is traditional.
It has children and families.
Your relationship is setting
a bad example for them.
This is pathetic!
You'll harass us just because we don't
fit into your outdated idea of a family?
Sagar..
If we were married, would you
interfere in our personal life?
There would be no issue then!
Your relation would be lawful.
Which isn't right now.
Our relationship isn't illegal either.
Enough. We're not going anywhere.
We have the right to live
here so do what you want.
- Tanvi, let's go.
- Sagar?
Tanvi?
Tanvi.
Our society is so orthodox.
Should we move?
We'll probably face the
same issues everywhere.
I was thinking why we should
fight these stupid battles?
Should we get married?
We're living together
so what's the problem?
One minute, why should we
change our plan for someone else?
And we'll get married when we
feel like we've made and achieved it.
Because we live together we'll
have to face these problems.
Look Tanvi, this is our choice.
- We're in it together.
- I agree.
But you can't get irritated when
we face practical problems like this.
Deal with it.
Dad, are you feeling okay?
You forgot to drink 'solkadhi'.
I'll have it later, keep it.
I've noticed that you've been
a bit restless since yesterday.
What happened?
Nothing at all. I'm fine.
What happened dad?
You can tell me.
Yes.
When I suddenly met Aru after so
many years, I realised how lonely I am..
Don't say that dad.
Our family is perfect.
After Vijay died, you
stood strongly by me.
You even raised Tanvi.
We both love you very much dad.
You're like a daughter to me.
And Tanvi's childhood..
.. brought me immense joy.
Both of you are amazing to me.
But, one thing about me..
.. is for a long time I had closed off a
corner of my heart completely.
Suddenly after so long..
when I met Aru, my..
.. closed corner got swung open.
But..
.. what will Tanvi say
if she finds out?
She will be happy that
you and Aru finally reunited.
Don't overthink it.
Go to sleep and drink the juice.
Dad?
We are with you no
matter what you decide.
Don't forget that.
Please rest and sleep soon.
"Seeing you,
I was no longer my own"
"Wherever I looked, it was your presence I felt"
"Seeing you,
I was no longer my own"
"The promises we made
together, felt most sacred"
"Seeing you.."
When you see yourself in the mirror..
you'll see..
.. how beautiful you look even now.
"How do I speak of the
rush I get when you get shy"
"Oh how I lose myself in your silent ways"
"How do I speak of the
rush I get when you get shy"
"Oh how I lose myself in your silent ways"
"Let me linger a while in your gentle embrace"
"In your lovely fragrance, I always lose my breath"
"Seeing you.."
Raghav should have been here today.
He would have been very happy.
He tried very hard to find you.
You didn't get married?
I never felt like getting married
after being separated from you.
Are you happy?
I am happy.
I waited so long for you.
- I even wrote a letter.
- A letter?
I didn't get any letter.
In that letter I had written that..
I need to tell you something.
I never thought we'd
meet again like this.
Should we talk to our families?
No, we shouldn't.
We'll tell them when the time is right.
Hari?
We'll have to deal
with this very gently.
Sagar and Tanvi's relationship
shouldn't break because of us.
"A sweet bond formed quietly from soul unto soul"
"A thread woven tightly that made us feel whole"
"A sweet bond formed from soul unto soul"
"A thread woven tightly that made us feel whole"
"I am so enveloped
in your colours that.."
"I feel like I'm living in a dream"
"Seeing you,
I was no longer my own"
"Wherever I looked, it was your presence I felt"
"Seeing you.."
Wow! Aru ma'am
what's special today?
- It's a lovely day!
- Oh!
How did you think of such
a brilliant idea like this?
To a soldier, his uniform is very special.
And by the time a soldier retires,
he has collected almost 12-13 uniforms.
Writers know everything!
It's true.
It's not like that.
I just took a guess.
You're great mom!
You guessed right grandma Aru.
Dad thought that..
if uniforms are recycled or upcycled..
..they can be disposed off respectfully.
We gained legal permissions
and started this endeavour.
Great!
Sudha works hard at the workshop.
In fact, she handles all
the production design.
Commendable!
If you ask me, such great work
should be advertised in public.
Tanvi created our
foundation's Instagram page.
Mom, why don't you write an article on
grandpa Hari's 'Vardi Cha Sanmaan' foundation.
I don't want any fame through this.
There's no need for any articles.
But I do agree with Rashmi.
How else will your work reach a non
tech-savvy generation like ours?
Your work will inspire people.
Your great work should
be known to everyone.
Hari met everyone for
the first time today.
I'm happy, but worried at the same time.
- Reached home?
- Yes.
- Sagar is a good man.
- Yes.
And Tanvi is so affectionate.
Both of them are a couple
that's made for each other.
- But Hari..
- Hmm?
They shouldn't break
up because of us.
They won't.
I won't let them break up.
Don't worry about anything, okay?
Okay.. okay.
I'll call you in the
morning okay? Good night.
You didn't sleep yet?
A friend from the army had called.
We met after years.
So we couldn't stop catching up!
- Dad?
- Hmm?
You're a bad liar.
- You can keep talking!
- Time to sleep, good night.
Bye dad.
- Good night dad!
- Good night.
"Don't leave me just yet"
Good night.
"..craves for more"
"Don't leave me just yet"
"My heart still craves for more"
Isn't that grandma Aru?
Is he your mom's friend?
I've often seen them together.
Yes, they're old friends.
- Is it?
- Let's go.
Today afternoon I went to the book
store and you weren't there.
Where were you?
Oh yes!
I had gone out to meet a friend.
Have you known Tanvi's
grandpa for a while?
What happened?
Have I missed anything?
I saw mom with Tanvi's grandpa today.
Oh!
My friend 'Sathe' was with me.
She said she had often seen them together.
That surprised me,
so I thought I'll ask her.
Tell me.
Hari, Raghav and I..
.. grew up together in Kudal.
You've known him for years?
You didn't say anything when
we met him at the workshop?
Hari and I suddenly
met after 50 years.
He wasn't just my friend.
We were in love
with each other.
But we couldn't get married.
Since my childhood we've never
hidden anything from each other.
You never hid anything
from me and..
.. you hid such a big fact from me?
I know she hid it from you
Rashmi, but she shared it now.
What do you mean?
She hid such important information
from us and you're okay with it?
Why did you do this mom?
Rashmi, I've hidden
another detail from you.
What is it?
Mom..
.. I cannot handle this any further.
Just be honest and tell me.
You're not Raghav's daughter.
What?
What is this?
A catastrophe or a mistake?
You forgot your culture?
Oh God! Why did you bring
this difficulty upon us?
We can't show our face
to anyone because of you.
I know we've made a mistake.
- Please forgive me.
- Forgive you?
Forgiving you won't matter.
Weren't you ashamed
to behave like this?
Yuck.
We'll take her to a hospital
outside the village and get it aborted.
Father..
We should do this
before anyone finds out.
What are you saying?
Mom! Say something to him.
I.. I..
I wont get an abortion.
I'll slap you if you speak.
You will come with us
or get out of this house.
- What are you saying?
- I'm right.
I won't kill my baby.
Aru wait.. Aru?
Let her go!
When I lost my balance,
Raghav was there to catch me.
After my parents kicked me
out, Raghav was there for me.
Even when I tried to kill myself,
Raghav was there to save me.
What?
Why are you suddenly telling
me this after all these years?
Neither you nor dad told me
anything and now suddenly..
You have betrayed me.
Betrayed me..
No dear.
We didn't want to hurt you
dear, that's why we didn't tell you.
And you did exactly that.
You didn't just hurt me..
.. you abandoned me.
You abandoned me in a second.
Rashmi listen.. I..
Yes mom?
One minute.
Your phone is ringing.
Hmm..
- Yes?
- Hello dad?
But why?
But what happened?
So suddenly?
What can't happen?
Okay, I'll reach by evening.
Don't be stressed.
You're with me.
So there's no stress.
Look mom..
Tanvi and I don't care
about grandma's past.
You don't know everything.
What?
Tanvi's grandpa Hari..
.. is my biological father.
- What the hell?
- Sagar!
Pardon my language, but..
.. now what?
Tanvi's dad was grandpa Hari's
adopted son right?
Yes.
So? What's your point?
It means you and Tanvi
aren't related by blood.
It's okay grandpa.
You and Sagar's grandma
loved each other 50 years ago.
And this doesn't matter to us.
Dad, there's no need
to worry about this.
Rashmi seemed progressive to me.
I think she'll understand.
Rashmi won't understand.
Why do you feel so
grandpa? She's really nice.
Even Sagar's dad
is very understanding.
No, she won't understand.
Why do you feel so dad?
Rashmi is mine and Aru's daughter.
What?
- Are you kidding grandpa?
- You didn't tell me?
I didn't know either.
I had gone back to the
village with Vijay to meet Aru.
There I found out,
Aru had left the village.
I was told Raghav
and her got married.
I really didn't know about Rashmi.
I'm responsible for all this.
Please forgive me if you can.
Grandpa?
Are you never
going to talk to me?
Don't ask me this right now.
I don't know.
Maybe I'll never talk to you.
I need time to process all this.
How can you shock me and then
expect everything to be normal after?
That's not possible mom.
You shouldn't have lied
about this grandma.
This is not fair.
How could you
hide this from me?
I thought we were friends.
I'm not a kid anymore grandma.
You could have
told me everything.
Sagar..
Why did you hide it?
Sagar, some things are
meant to be private.
There's no intention of hurting
anyone by hiding some things.
But some memories are
meant to be dearly protected.
Grandma, wasn't I worthy enough
to know your past and heartbreak?
It's not like that. You
were and still are worthy.
But I wasn't ready to share this.
Was our bond so weak grandma?
You were my world grandma.
I told you everything.
And you..
.. alienated me in a second.
It's not like that Sagar..
I shouldn't have lied.
Everyone is very hurt.
It's complicated now.
Can I..
talk to Rashmi..
.. and Sagar?
We should stop meeting.
You're right.
Tanvi and Sagar..
.. shouldn't break up because of us.
We are parting again.
I don't have the strength..
.. to live without you.
Aru..
.. will Rashmi ever talk to me?
I don't know.
Let some time pass by.
I'll see you.
Take care of yourself.
Take good care of yourself.
Hello?
I've been calling you,
why aren't you picking up?
We need to talk.
I agree, that's why
I've been calling.
Not now. Let's meet
day after and talk.
I'm going to Bengaluru for
an event, I'll see you home.
Okay..
I missed you.
You don't have to
hug me right now.
Why are you
treating me like this?
It's hard for me
to process all this.
What's going on with us!
Should we have tea?
I need it badly.
We'll talk after
I make tea for us.
I'm really angry
with this situation.
Even I don't
know what to do.
How could your grandpa do this?
My grandpa?
What do you mean?
You know the context
of their situation.
Look, I'm not angry with you.
But I'm angry
with this situation.
Why are you justifying it?
Don't you get it?
Don't question if I'm understanding
it without knowing anything.
I'm understanding everything Tanvi.
Your grandpa has
cheated my grandma.
No. He hasn't.
Don't take your grandpa's side.
He could have written
a letter to my grandma.
Why didn't he?
Even your grandma could have
written to my grandpa, but did she?
- Don't blame my grandma.
- Don't blame my grandpa either.
Look, I'm not blaming anyone.
How convenient Tanvi?
Your grandpa never thought of what my
grandma went through and he still wants to meet her.
I mean look at his audacity.
Are you serious? Do you
realise what you're saying?
And what's the problem if they are
meeting now? What's the issue?
- Are you in your senses?
- Are you?
Sagar..
I'm talking to you.
"This love..
Tell me, how it begins?"
"Tell me"
"These feelings..
Tell me, how do they come?"
"Tell me"
"Tell me, why do I suddenly
stop while walking?"
"Tell me"
"Tell me, why do I day
dream while talking?"
"Tell me"
"A bell keeps ringing deep inside me"
"And everywhere I look,
it's you I find."
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose myself?"
"Tell me..Tell me"
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose myself?"
"Why does love lift
me so far into the blue?"
"Why so far?"
"Tell me, why do I tie
my heart forever to you?"
"Tell me"
"Why does my heartbeat race so fast?"
"Why do I feel your presence
even when you're not here?
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose you?"
"Tell me..Tell me"
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose myself?"
"Tell me"
"Everything feels like
a fail without my love"
"Love is the reason,
that's why the world rotates!"
"Tell me, why does it feel
so safe to be with you?"
"Tell me..Tell me..Tell me"
"It's not something easy to explain"
"Love arrives quietly, without a name"
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose myself?"
"Tell me..Tell me"
"Tell me, where have I lost myself?
How did I lose myself?"
"Tell me.. Tell me"
"Tell me"
Aren't you hungry?
Lets go and eat.
I'm really not hungry.
You both go ahead.
I've made 'puranpoli' today Shekhar.
Please eat it.
Rashmi really likes it.
Even if Rashmi isn't talking to you,
she's not going to eat without you.
Rashmi I've made your
favourite 'puranpoli'! Have it..
I don't like it now.
Rashmi listen.. Rashmi?
Rashmi, what's the issue?
How long will you be quiet?
People make mistakes.
You have to let it go now.
Easy to say.
You haven't experienced something like this.
I wouldn't mind it at all.
If only she was alive today.
Fine.
Tell me, how has your life changed
after your mom told you her secret?
What about people
gossiping about us?
Oh! I couldn't figure
out why you're so upset.
Are you upset because of your mom's
secret or what other people will say?
Dear Rashmi, you must be
surprised reading my letter.
You must be wondering why I'm
writing a letter instead of talking to you.
Yes dear, I would have talked.
But you are not
talking to me right now.
I have a lot to say to you.
But you don't like
your mother anymore.
It was your astrological birthday yesterday.
That's why I made your favourite 'puranpoli'.
But you didn't eat.
I had forgotten that my Rashmi
doesn't like food cooked by me anymore.
Speaking of forgotten,
I remembered something.
I need a medicine.
I didn't find it anywhere. Can
you please get it if you can?
I have a very understanding
daughter named Rashmi.
I need a medicine to forget her.
I need a medicine to understand
that no one understands me anymore.
I'm very lonely now.
I need medicines to fix this.
Will you get it?
Your, mom.
Mom!
I was wrong mom.
No dear.. No.
I abandoned you.
Forgive me.
Okay dear.
"I'm silent.."
You've composed it very well.
Now write some nice lyrics too.
Thanks mom, but I can't
find the right lyrics yet.
Meet Tanvi and you'll find the lyrics.
Look Sagar, she's in
as much pain as you.
Think about her.
What's her fault in all this?
We're both wrong Sagar.
Neither of us thought about
how we hurt grandma's feelings.
Go and get Tanvi, otherwise what's the
difference between you and Tanvi's grandpa?
You need to communicate.
Mom, I'm very confused right now.
I don't know what's right or wrong,
and what I should do or not do.
I need some time.
You haven't slept yet grandpa?
Neither have you.
I can't fall asleep.
Queen to b8, Check.
- Grandpa please..
- Come on Tanvi, focus.
Fine. You can start.
King to h7.
d8 equal Queen.
Queen takes f2, Check.
- Oh my!
- It's a forced mate.
Rook takes f2.
Rook to e1, Check.
King to h2.
Rook takes f2, Check.
King takes h3.
Rook to h1, Check.
- King to g4.
- f5, Check.
Oh no!
King to h5 and
g6 is Checkmate!
Come on grandpa!
Well done!
I remembered..
There's an 'old age home' in Pune.
The people there want
to play chess with you.
Will you come?
- I'll come.
- For sure?
Yes grandpa. I'd love to
play chess with them.
Very good.
Grandpa? What if we do a
music event along with the chess?
Will Sagar join?
He might not come for me,
but he will for a social cause.
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"The music of your anklets' chime,
Rings softly through my heart"
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"Again and again she turns to see,
And hides her smile for me"
"I am yours and you are mine,
And suddenly the world shines"
"This tender pull I never knew
Has left my heart in pursuit of you"
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"The music of your anklets' chime,
Rings softly through my heart"
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"Again and again she turns to see,
And hides her smile for me"
"Let us weave with gentle care
Silken threads beyond compare"
"Let our names be etched forever
in our hearts, beyond time's domain"
"The world has blossomed all around,
My heart has lost its sense of ground"
"Even shadows glow with colours,
Drunk on the magic of this night"
"Hold me close if my steps stray"
"This sweet longing steals me
away and drives me crazy"
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"The music of your anklets' chime,
Rings softly through my heart"
"Silent are you, silent am I..
Yet our eyes speak a lot"
"Again and again she turns to see,
And hides her smile for me"
I'm so sorry Tanvi.
I behaved badly with you.
In fact, with everyone.
- It's okay.
- No, it's not okay.
Tanvi you know, you've opened my eyes
by inviting me to this 'old age home'.
Grandma Aru's friendship, her
love, felt like an affair to me.
I couldn't handle that situation.
But you..
.. but you made me realise
without saying a word.
This endgame between us..
.. you have won.
I didn't want you to lose.
I wanted to get you back.
We both were on
the same side isn't it?
I had faith in our love.
And I had faith in you.
After all our love is here.
Right?
Grandma?
You asked for me after days!
I'm sorry grandma.
I was very angry. I thought
you didn't trust me at all.
It's not like that dear.
My past wasn't mine alone.
It was Hari's and Raghav's equally.
Raghav didn't want anyone to know.
And I wanted to keep
my promise to him.
I was very selfish grandma.
I didn't think about your feelings.
I'm.. I'm sorry.
It's okay.
And I missed you grandma.
I can't live without you.
Calm down. Don't cry.
Happy Birthday to you..
Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday dear grandma Aru,
Happy Birthday to you!
Great!
Happy Birthday!
Wow! Great! Be careful.
Will you pass the cake
before finishing it?
Yes, but before that..
.. Tanvi and I want say something to
grandma and grandpa in front of everyone.
Tanvi?
Grandpa..
Grandma..
We both think that you
two should get married.
In fact, we insist.
And grandma..
.. I insist.
Mom?
My dad passed away when
I was very young in school.
Since then I haven't
felt a father's love.
But I'm feeling it again
today, thanks to you.
But I was wrong and behaved badly.
I didn't understand you and mom.
Please forgive me, dad.
My mom has waited years for you.
I genuinely think you and
mom should get married now.
You spoke my mind Rashmi.
Dad, you've been
alone for 50 years.
Even I think that you
both should get married.
You want us..
.. to get married.
But you didn't get married.
You are living together.
So..
.. we'll also live together.
Live in?
I couldn't adjust to
the kids living together.
And now I have to adjust with
my parents living together as well?
That's great!
Are you sure?
Don't fight with me later!
This is a Kodak moment!
Sagar take a photo!
Get up everyone!
Grandpa, this way!
Yes!
Is everyone in the frame?
"Everyone insisted that we get married."
"But the bond between me and Hari
doesn't have a name and we don't need it."
"We have nothing to
gain from each other."
"We just want to spend time together,
laugh and take care of each other."
"We want a selfless relationship."
"Everyone understood us today."
"They respected our love."
"And accepted our relationship."
"There can't be a more
perfect ending to my story."
"Today, in a true sense,
my book is complete."
"This 'marriage' isn't for us"
"This 'marriage' isn't for us"
"This 'marriage' isn't for us"
"This 'marriage'.."

And we want to be"

Just my bed and me"
"Wake up when you want
Sleep when you want"

Just our cup and tea!"

I don't count anyone else"

Don't irritate me ever"

I want to pay my own bills"
"I want to eat and
wear what I want"
"No home, no in-laws..
Just me and my blissful life"
"I won't ever accept defeat..
I'm enough for myself"
"Why to fix something
that isn't broken?"
"No."
"This 'marriage' isn't for us"

"This 'marriage' isn't for us"
"This 'marriage'.."
"No."
