Sapne Vs Everyone (2023) s02e02 Episode Script
Hero Kaun?
Bhaiya!
How are you, bhaiya?
You've become fair, Toni!
I've moved to Indiawith
my wife and daughter.
Whatever the issue is between
you and Dad, I'll sort it out too.
Let's talk it out.
Let's not, Toni.
Your heart will break.
Jimmy bhaiya!
Jimmy bhaiya!
Can I join you?
Why? Don't you wanna
play video games?
If you're not going,
I won't go either.
Come on, I've got
a deck of cards.
I'll teach you an
awesome trick, Toni.
Do you need any help?
Yes, please.
I'll manage.
Thanks.
So, are you fulfilling
your acting goals
by taking people's auditions?
When I see actors
better than me auditioning,
I pick up tips from them.
My auditions have improved.
When are you making your debut?
I don't know.
But this is fun.
Oh, wow!
So, you're chasing
"fun" now too.
You're saying that as
if you feel sorry for me.
No. I'm feeling
sorry for myself.
Why?
I tell everyone that I need
money, followers,
and fame in life.
But you know,
there's a problem here.
If I don't accomplish these
things, it will be evident
that I've failed.
But spiritual concepts like fun,
artistic satisfaction…
"Find joy in the journey…"
These are the things
one should chase in life.
There's no way to measure
success or failure here.
Just say, "I'm
having too much fun!"
These were my only life goals,
and that's why I'm successful.
See you.
I'm hosting a party
tomorrow. Please come.
I have 500K followers now.
My proof of success.
-You okay?
-Yeah.
Well, I have proof
that I'm having fun.
I don't need anxiety
pills to fall asleep.
That's a bloody medical thing!
How can you even say
something like this, man?
Oh! You're back!
-Oh, wow! Having a party?
-Your pint is in the fridge.
Ashvin bhai…
did you manage to
sell your film script?
I finished writing the
script for my new film today.
This is me celebrating
typing "The End."
Hey, you!
Do you think I'd celebrate
with just a pint if I sell my script?
I'll run naked on
Versova Beach that day!
Just tell me in advance, though.
I won't go to Versova
Beach that day.
Don't wanna see me naked?
Can you see his naked face?
What have you done to him?!
An actor has to get
naked, Ashvin bhai.
To step into another character,
you have to shed everything.
Yeah, you made
me shed everything!
And don't give me that
acting philosophy crap now.
Just get me
confirmation for the ad.
Dumbfuck's preaching to me.
So, how did it feel
typing "The End"?
Man!
I don't know.
It felt very different
finishing the script this time.
Either I've written
a masterpiece,
or it's a complete pile of crap.
Send it to me. I'll read it.
By the way…
we need to transfer the
rent to Uncle tomorrow.
I'll transfer the
money to you tonight.
Bro!
Will you be paying this time?
I don't think so.You
manage this time.
That will add up to four months,
including this month's rent.
-Eighty thousand.
-Anything else?
I'm saying this so that
you're aware as well.
I also have limited
funds in my account.
No, no, no!You
are not just saying it.
You pity me
for just bumming around on
a couch, mooching free beers.
You thought of ruining my
mood by bringing that up.
I haven't paid rent
for four months.
My naked face is bothering you.
Bhai, why are you
stretching this out?
Just tell him when you'll
pay him back. That's all.
Well…
I'm waiting to hear back
from two or three auditions.
-I'll pay after that.
-Which auditions?
You stepped out of the
house today after two months.
Dude, you're constantly
breathing down my neck.
You even keep tabs on
when I take a dump or a leak.
Whether I've sent
my audition or not.
Don't expect a response
from today's audition.
Why?
Did the client reject it?
You must've had
some unresolved issues.
Tarun refused to
send your audition.
You didn't send the audition?
Asshole, why did you
even call me for an audition?
Hey!
Why the fuck did you ask me to shave
my face and look like some floozy?!
Generally, Tarun doesn't
follow up on the auditions sent.
And…
you probably pulled
some bullshit on him.
He clearly mentioned
that you have an
attitude problem.
Call him! Call
that bloody Tarun!
Ask him, what attitude
problem do I have?
Call him now, asshole!
I'm an actor.
I'm way fucking better
than everyone out there!
That's why I don't
go for auditions.
You bloody casting
people fuck us over,
just to fit your damn
roles. You assholes!
You think I don't knowwhy
you joined the casting company?
Yes.
We are fooling you.
So?
Out of a hundred places,
only one would do things fairly.
At the other 99 places,
you'd just get screwed over.
So?
He has written five
scripts in the last five years,
but hasn't sold a
single one. Is he crying?
He writes ads,
jingles for ads,
and script dialogues.
That's how he makes money,
pays his rent,and
treats his friends to beer.
I have an audition tomorrow.
And I've come to
know that it's fixed.
So, do you think I won't go?
I will.
I will go,
and I will smack my
bad luck right in the face.
I will hit it hard
until I defeat it!
I'm not going to sit around
at home, moping like you.
"I'm so damn talented! Come on…
come home and pick me!"
Yeah, talk louder, man.
Come on.
Be louder. Scream.
Hey, writer!You should
also scream at me.
I'm not able to pay
the rent after all.
I've already been
declared an asshole.
No issues, man.
Once I get my security deposit,
I'll give your money back.
Time to leave the
fucking heartbreak city.
And you both should
move to a different house.
I've not seen anything good
happening to anyone in this house.
The writer couldn't sell the script.
The actor couldn't land a role.
This fucking house is cursed.
-Hi, Prashant.
-Hello, Simran.
Did you check
yesterday's auditions?
Yeah, I saw them, Prashant.
Honestly, they weren't good.
Let's do some more.
Actually, there's been
an amazing audition.
I'll mail it to you.
See and let me
know if it is good.
-Yeah. Okay.
-Okay.
Take this. Now, we
will start the havan.
Pandit ji.
This house used to be
occupied by wealthy people.
Perform such a powerful havan
that not a single germ remains.
Hey, Prashant.
Ready for the audition?
Let's go.
Jimmy…
what's in that?
It has a protective
charm inside, Dad.
The English protective charm.
It is called "foo-foo."
It's huge!
Why are you going for
the auditionif it's fixed?
It'll be a waste of time.
Casting is planning to send
my bad takes to the producer…
which is why I have a plan too.
I will not give a
single bad take.
Hey, hero! All the best.
Bro, are you ready?
And…
Action!
Jimmy bhai, Jimmy bhai.
Jimmy bhai, the client is coming
tomorrow with the full payment.
Five crores, after deducting
five percent for paying early.
But we need to arrangeanother
five crores before the week ends.
So, let's aim to sell one more floor
of this house as quickly as possible.
Okay.
Bhaiya, I didn't quite understand
everything you did yesterday.
In fact, I felt like
it was wrong.
That poor half-bald man
came to see the house,
and there I was flaunting my
silky hair, making him feel inferior.
Why would he buy
a house from me?
Jatin, we weren't
making him feel inferior.
We were priming him.
Priming? What's that?
The foolery button.
Everyone has plenty of
such triggers in their mind.
And by pressing different triggers,
you can fool them in all sorts of ways.
Okay…
but what does
priming actually do?
Priming gets someone
into a mental state where,
even if they hadmade
up their mind before,
suddenly they believe whatever
you're selling is the right choice.
For example, you strike
the iron only when it's hot.
You need to charm her first, and only then
does your girlfriend let you put it in…
First…
Uncle triggered his insecurity
the moment he arrived.
And then…
stirred up his insecurity
once more, in front of his wife.
And then, by sending him tothe
wrong floor, we bruised his ego
by reminding him, in front of his
father,that he couldn't become a CA.
And here's the thing, Jatin.When
a man is burning with insecurity,
even a simple glance from
another man can ignite it further.
That glance could even
come from a mere photograph.
Oh!
And when that half-bald,
CA-fail man's ego
was wriggling on the floor,
the priming was done.
Later, when Uncle
referenced the rooftop proverb,
he wasn't sellingthe
terrace floor to him.
Uncle was offering him
a final chance to restore
his pride in front of
his wife and father.
A shot of testosterone
for his fragile ego.
Are you getting it?
But, bhaiya, why did you ask
Grover Uncle to rhyme the proverb?
Why prime, why rhyme?And
when they asked about me,
why did I make you saythat
my aunt died of a heart attack?
Come on, use
your brain a little.
Put it up.
Mood and… action!
I knew you'd get upset,
but I can't pretend
anymore, Ishan.
I don't feel anything
for you now.
I have tried to force
myself to feel, but…
there's nothing
that comes out now.
It doesn't feel
good hearing this…
but I'm not angry either.
I actually want to
thank you, Ridhi.
Are you being sarcastic?
No, I mean it.
I have no misconceptions
about myself.
I'm a below-average actor.
-That's okay.
-I've always been one.
But when I was…
I truly was.
I felt it, deeply.
Very few people
get to feel that, Ridhi.
And for that…
Thank you.
And… cut!
-That was good.
-Your reactions were great.
Thank you.
Let's do one more. Okay?
Want to tweak something?
You already have two takes.
Yeah, but it can still get better.
I'll take a quick smoke break.
We will do it again
once I'm back.
-Shalini, a minute, please.
-Yeah.
Shall we start?
Ready?
The lady… giving cues?
Shalini has another audition to prepare
for, so Sandeep will give the cues now.
Alright?
Let's go.
And… action!
I know you'll be upset,
but I can't keep
pretending anymore.
I don't feel anything
for you now.
I've tried to force
myself to feel,
but there is nothing
that comes out now.
I'm not angry. In fact…
I want to thank you.
Are you being sarcastic?
Let's do one more. Sorry.
Come on, man!Don't
stop until I say "cut."
It was going really well.
-Really? Was it good?
-Yeah.
Sorry. Let's go again.
-Jimmy…
-Fufa ji.
Just a moment.
-Please.
-Namaste.
Namaste. Namaste, dear.
This is my wife,and
this is my daughter.
Both mother and
daughter are very beautiful.
Three months ago,when I
moved here from Australia,
that's when I found outthis
is Jimmy bhaiya's new house.
Since then, I'd been
waiting for you all to move in.
Waiting for what?
Cute son of my beloved mama.
Eva, this is Jimmy bhaiya.
My wife.
I keep talking about you.
Really? What does he talk about?
-All those things--
-Oh God, cousin!
Don't you father-son duo
let your wives speak at all?
Eva will answer. Eva…
what does he talk about me?
He…
he tells me he spent the best
childhood with you and Prince.
He also told me he gave
you the nickname "Jimmy."
He told me that the family
is not on talking terms now.
And…
he feels really bad about it.
Good, good, good. Well done.
Now, that's three
good things. Okay?
Now, you tell me
three bad things that
he or his father
told you about me.
Nothing.
I'll give you options
to choose from.
The scam or the slap?
The pain of losing money
or the sting of the slap?
What does his father
cry about more?
Toni?
Bro, she's gettinga
bit uncomfortable now.
It's my first time
talking to a foreigner.
-Maybe I made her uncomfortable.
-I didn't say that, bhaiya.
Jimmy, let them eat.
Come, kids. I'll serve you food.
Come on.
How are you? This is Toni.
My brother-in-law Kukreja
ji's son.He's from Australia.
This is his wife and daughter.
Toni, come, I'll
show you the rooftop.
Jatin will help
Dad with the food.
His English is good, Eva.
Hi!
-I'll go. You'll be fine, right?
-Yeah, yeah.
Please come.
Mood… and action.
I know you'll be upset.
But I can't pretend anymore.
I don't feel anything
for you now.
I've tried to force
myself to feel,
but there is nothing
that is coming out now.
Actually, Prashant…
I didn't know youwanted
to pursue acting full-time.
If both of us wouldwant
to pursue acting full-time,
we'd run into a lot
of financial problems.
Look, Prashant, I'm
just being practical.
It's okay, Anjali.
I'm not upset.
Sure, I feel a little sad, but…
I want to thank you.
-Are you--
-I've always wanted to, you know?
Thank you.
I'm a below average boy,
I've always been.
Academics, looks, personality…
average at everything.
And when you are aware of this,
you don't really
have the confidence…
to walk up to a girl and say,
"I like you."
My entire school life was justa
series of one-sided love stories.
But at a college fest, after a few drinks,
I ended up spilling my heart to my crush.
Blame it on the alcohol
for my fake confidence.
That girl didn't just reject me.
She was also offended that…
I could even thinkI
had a chance with her.
She made sure I
didn't forget my "place."
She humiliated mein front
of everyone in the canteen.
That was it.
I decided…
I'd never confess my
feelings to anyone again.
And I guess…
I'll never know
what it feels like…
to love a girl and
be loved back by her.
But because of you, Anjali…
I learned what it feels like…
to love…
and be loved in return.
And if it's lost now, so be it.
What can we do?
But when it
existed, it was real.
I felt it deeply.
And for that…
thank you.
And cut!
Wow, that was amazing!
Buddy…
we'll have to do one more.
You said "Anjali"
instead of "Ridhi."
Does it really matter?
Even if I overlook that,
the script doesn't mention anything
about the character's eyes welling up.
How about we do
this one without tears?
Buddy…
With or without tears.
With a boy or a girl.
First take or the 50th take.
Nothing matters.
I'm a theater actor.
With every take,my
performance will get better.
I've got to get to work now.
I hope the director finds
something good in this.
Or else, I'll keep smacking
my bad luck in the face.
No, dude, I just thought…
I mean, if we could
get a variation…
-or a different flavor, maybe.
-Sorry, man.
I couldn't give a bad take.
I was telling Eva about your nickname
story a few days ago, Jimmy bhaiya.
-You remember, right?
-No.
Well, when you and
Prince had just moved in,
you used to say that everyone
had such cool nicknames.
Danny, Toni, Prince.
But you didn't have one.
Remember? We were all sitting in the
park, trying to come up with one for you.
That's when I said,
"Bhaiya, what about Jimmy?"
And you loved it.
Let me ask you
something. Just be honest.
Why are you here, Toni?
What do you want?
Bhaiya…
after coming backfrom
Australia, I noticed that
even now, whenever I
mention you guys in front of Dad,
there's still so much
bitterness in him!
And now, talking to you,
I can see it here as well.
The hate you carry inside.
So when I found out
you were moving here,
I decided that I
wanted to fix everything.
How will you do that?
You tell me, what's
your issue with Dad?
You mentioned something
downstairs as well, bhaiya.
The scam, the slap.
What was that about?
About my issues…
I'm sure your dad mentioned it
to you before he sent you here.
When has Dad ever
told me anything?
I asked Mom as well, but…
She only knows
what happened when we were kids.
After that, no one in the family knows
what went down between you two.
And… do you know your
dad's trying for an MP ticket?
Yes.
And…
that's why he sent
you here, Toni.
"Go and remind your Jimmy bhaiya
how close you used to be," right?
How can I even imagine competing
with the father of my dearest cousin Toni?
Come on, let me pack some
halwa for mami in those little cups.
Take it with you.
Dad didn't send me here, bhaiya.
I'm here by my own choice.
I swear!
Now, please tell me.
What did you mean
by "scam" and "slap"?
I scammed your dad, Toni.
Worth 30 crores.
But it was never
about the money.
In return for money,
I wanted to slap him.
I was going to return
your dad's money…
but then I found
out about his plan.
What plan?
Murder plan.
Whose murder?
Toni, if I spill the details,
you'll grab your wife and kidand
be on the next flight to Australia.
If you weren't this
cute, I might've told you.
The thing is,
if I return the 30 crores to
your dad, his problem is solved.
But after what your
dad did to me, Toni,
there's nothing you or he can
do to make this right for me.
I will do it, bhaiya.
Can you return the money?
Do you need my help?
Toni, I invested that money
into constructing this house.
I even started a firmin
my name and your dad's.
M cube B cube Builders.
So once these floors are sold,
I'll be able to pay
your dad back.
Oh, you see, Ori,
I don't know. It's--
You know how it is.It's
just really competitive.
Do one thing. Just…
Yeah, I'll give you my number,
and let's meet again.
Thank you so much,
Tarun. I'll call you.
-Great. See you.
-Yeah.
Yeah.
-I'll take your leave. Thank you.
-Alright. All the best!
Thank you.
Prashant.
Are you just coming to work?
I had an audition
today. I told you.
And I told you…
that the actor
was already fixed.
And yet, you went
for the audition!
Well, all the best.
Tarun, I…
-I showed Manish's audition to the client.
-Whose?
The one you said
had attitude issues.
Why?
I told you not to, didn't I?
All of yesterday'sauditions
got rejected, Tarun.
Even Amit's.That is
why I sent his audition.
And the client said,
"He is very good."
Audition, good. Attitude?
Shitty! Did you
tell the client that?
It's just an artist's ego, sir.
But he's very professional.
He's always on time
and comes fully prepared.
And…
he does show some
attitude to the casting people,
but on the set, he sincerely
follows the director's instructions.
You know…
your friend once
said something to me
during an audition.
What was it?
Buddy, a director's job
is to say "action" and "cut"
and to handle everything
that happens in between.
A casting director's job is
also to say "action" and "cut,"
but in between, they just stand
still without uttering a word,
so that the actor's
job isn't disturbed.
So, the director is respected,
and the casting
director is humiliated!
Why, man?
Do one thing.
Call the client. Let
me talk to them.
Tarun… he really
needs the money.
He's planning to go back home.
Please, Tarun. If he gets this ad,
he can stay in Mumbai a little longer.
Just let him go back home!
People like him can't
make it in this city.
Go and prepare for the audition.
Hey! Hi, Simran.
Listen, about that audition
Prashant sent you earlier today?
Yeah, I think you liked it.
But, Simran, the thing
is, he's a blacklisted actor.
Oh, no, no.
Prashant doesn't know that.
He's new here.
WHO'S THE HERO?
Hey, where are you going?
Home.
Already?
You just got here, man.
I'm not coming back.
You're leaving?
So, you're just
leaving with your stuff?
That moron farted on your face.
Revenge!
-Should I hit him?
-Long live Delhi NCR.
The first thought is
always, "Hit the bastard!"
Bro, you're an artist.
Even revenge…
should look like art.
Listen up, everyone!
Who here is a method actor,
who has that level of control,
who can, whenever he wants…
just fart?
-Sir! I can do it!
-Sir! I will do it.
-I will do it, sir!
-I can do it.
-Me, sir!
-I'll do it.
Threesome! What else?
-Boring, bro. You're very boring.
-Amit.
I'll call you back.
There's a brief.
Wanna audition?
First time you've come
to me on your own. Nice!
Let me know if you want
to eat something now.
When the take begins,I
want non-stop fart bombs.
-Don't worry, sir. It will be done.
-What's the ad for, sir?
You've apprehended a
spy working for the enemy.
But he won't talk.
You've tried every
kind of torture,
but nothing's working.
I won't break. Do
whatever you want.
If you want to defeat
me, bring something
that can strike from within,
that can attack the
passion burning in my heart.
Sir, how can we
attack him from within?
I know exactly
what will break him
by striking him from within.
JNG torture!
JNG torture?
Jeopardous Natural Gas torture!
-Tape his mouth shut.
-Yes, sir!
Position!
Load!
Explode!
Reload!
Explode!
And now…
one final attack!
From point-blank range,
place the cannon
right on the nose.
The momentJeopardous
Natural Gas torture begins,
the spy loses all his passion.
And then, the brand
message appears…
"If this gas can break
even the strongest spirit,
it can just as easilytake
the lives of your loved ones.
Hing Raj Goli,takes
care of your digestion."
Uncle, my candidate
has messaged me.
I need to go.Something
urgent has come up.
-You'll handle things here?
-Yeah, don't worry.
And a truck's coming from
the old house with Dad's stuff.
-Have them taken upstairs.
-Done.
Why did he come?
He wanted to fix everything,
but I know his dad
sent him to negotiate.
He's scared shitless that
Jimmy might raise money
for another candidate's ticket.
Jimmy, if possible,sort
things out with your mama.
You're using all the money
you got from selling floors
for your candidate's ticket.
You've already given 15 crores.
Will you make me a Taj
Mahal with those 15 crores?
If mama becomes an MP, you'll be
a widow before you even tie the knot.
Mahasingh ji, another five crores will
be added to the party fund in two days.
And I heard you wanted to
tell me something important.
Jimmy bhai…
what I wanted to say is that…
we don't need more money now.
That's it.
What happened?
Because there's no waywe
can match Kukreja's numbers.
Why not, Mahasingh ji?
I've already put in twenty crores into
the party fund, including today's five.
You managed 15 more,
and that makes it 35.
How much has Kukreja
put in? 40 crores?
We can cross that easily.
Jimmy bhai, I've got fresh numbers
from the party president this morning.
Total…
In total, Kukreja has given
80 crores to the party fund.
-80 crores?
-Yes.
Where the hell didhe
get that kind of money?
Some Ellora Real Estate
guy alone gave 40 crores.
Must be tight with Kukreja.
Mahasingh ji…
-keep the party president engaged.
-Jimmy bhai--
Let him know our
funding will exceed this.
-But how?
-I will manage.
Just make sure your name
stays in the running for the ticket.
Son of a bitch.
Jimmy bhai, the truck
with your dad's stuff is here.
But he's refusingto
bring his things inside.
He's sending it back
to the old house.
He says once the guests
leave, he'll leave too.
-I'll come and figure something out.
-Hey, listen! Listen!
There's some good news as well.
A client called me.
He wants to buy a
floor in our new house.
So then call him.
Here's the best part, Jimmy bhai!
He has already seen the place.
He mentioned he'll give the advance first,
and we can settle the price afterward.
Everyone is talking
about you, Jimmy.
Once you quote the
price, there's no going back.
We'll have to buy the
house for that amount.
And if someone negotiates,
then even on a higher price.
You know what, Yadav ji?
If you quote a higher price
and then reduce it,
you are devaluing your own word.
Fair point.
I also work in a certain way.
The price I set
after calculating
is the price I'll
pay for the house.
But if someone
pushes me too hard,
-I'll go even lower.
-Really?
You don't negotiate either?
In that case, Yadav ji,whether
we are closing the deal or not
will be decided instantly.
You give me your number.
If the numbers match,
we shake hands.
Otherwise, we walk away.
Five.
It was nice meeting
you, Yadav ji.
Five per floor.
Fifteen for three floors.
Five percent advance… right now.
I'm doing you a favor.
My assessment
was lower than this.
But Toni ji asked me
to be a little lenient.
Now if the numbers
match, it's all good.
Otherwise…
Jatin, where is
the heart located?
Sorry, Yadav ji.
You've underquoted once again.
That's alright.
Looks like you're notin
the mood to sell today.
Yadav ji.
There's one thing we can do,
even if we can't
negotiate the price.
Let me speak to Toni ji.
How will I pay 15
crores in two days?
I'm sending 75 lakhs
as an advance right now.
I'll pay the rest of the
price in a month.Trust me.
Nope. Two days.
Bhaiya, I'm genuinely
trying to help you.
The sooner you sell the floors,
the sooner you can repay Dad.
And then we have to
dealwith your issue too.
I'm returning the advance.
If you really want to help,make
the full payment in two days.
Paying 15 crores in
two days isn't possible.
But whenever you're okay
with giving me a month,
I'm ready to buy your floors.
Jimmy, will you drop me
off, or should I take an auto?
Listen, Toni.
I have an idea.
Jimmy, you asshole!
You told me earlier today
that we urgently need
five crores for the MP ticket
and that we have to sell the floor
of this house as soon as possible.
Now that we could have
sold the whole house,
why did you say no, you moron?
He was locking up my 15-crore
inventory for just 75 lakhs upfront.
We would have gotten
the money after a month.
I need the money
this week, Uncle.
Do you see how this father
and son are trying to scam me?
So…
shall we go?
Sure.
But first, let's meet mama.
Mama? Why?
I'm planning to return
your dad's money anyway.
Okay?
But shall we meet mama
and discuss my issue once?
Sure! When do you want to meet?
Today.
Right now.
You told me that he's upset
because I didn't return his money.
Let's settle everything
today for good.
After that, if you like,
you can either go back
home or move in here.
Namaste, fufa ji.
Please come.
Dad, they're here.
Should I get your bottoms?
You look different.
You look like an uncle.
Yeah, okay.
How much?
And what kind of milk?
Okay.
Alright. One kilo of tomatoes,
one kilo of potatoes, and
half a liter of toned milk. Okay?
Yeah, okay. See you.
What's the matter? You good?
Sumit sir…
How are you, bhaiya?
You've become fair, Toni!
I've moved to Indiawith
my wife and daughter.
Whatever the issue is between
you and Dad, I'll sort it out too.
Let's talk it out.
Let's not, Toni.
Your heart will break.
Jimmy bhaiya!
Jimmy bhaiya!
Can I join you?
Why? Don't you wanna
play video games?
If you're not going,
I won't go either.
Come on, I've got
a deck of cards.
I'll teach you an
awesome trick, Toni.
Do you need any help?
Yes, please.
I'll manage.
Thanks.
So, are you fulfilling
your acting goals
by taking people's auditions?
When I see actors
better than me auditioning,
I pick up tips from them.
My auditions have improved.
When are you making your debut?
I don't know.
But this is fun.
Oh, wow!
So, you're chasing
"fun" now too.
You're saying that as
if you feel sorry for me.
No. I'm feeling
sorry for myself.
Why?
I tell everyone that I need
money, followers,
and fame in life.
But you know,
there's a problem here.
If I don't accomplish these
things, it will be evident
that I've failed.
But spiritual concepts like fun,
artistic satisfaction…
"Find joy in the journey…"
These are the things
one should chase in life.
There's no way to measure
success or failure here.
Just say, "I'm
having too much fun!"
These were my only life goals,
and that's why I'm successful.
See you.
I'm hosting a party
tomorrow. Please come.
I have 500K followers now.
My proof of success.
-You okay?
-Yeah.
Well, I have proof
that I'm having fun.
I don't need anxiety
pills to fall asleep.
That's a bloody medical thing!
How can you even say
something like this, man?
Oh! You're back!
-Oh, wow! Having a party?
-Your pint is in the fridge.
Ashvin bhai…
did you manage to
sell your film script?
I finished writing the
script for my new film today.
This is me celebrating
typing "The End."
Hey, you!
Do you think I'd celebrate
with just a pint if I sell my script?
I'll run naked on
Versova Beach that day!
Just tell me in advance, though.
I won't go to Versova
Beach that day.
Don't wanna see me naked?
Can you see his naked face?
What have you done to him?!
An actor has to get
naked, Ashvin bhai.
To step into another character,
you have to shed everything.
Yeah, you made
me shed everything!
And don't give me that
acting philosophy crap now.
Just get me
confirmation for the ad.
Dumbfuck's preaching to me.
So, how did it feel
typing "The End"?
Man!
I don't know.
It felt very different
finishing the script this time.
Either I've written
a masterpiece,
or it's a complete pile of crap.
Send it to me. I'll read it.
By the way…
we need to transfer the
rent to Uncle tomorrow.
I'll transfer the
money to you tonight.
Bro!
Will you be paying this time?
I don't think so.You
manage this time.
That will add up to four months,
including this month's rent.
-Eighty thousand.
-Anything else?
I'm saying this so that
you're aware as well.
I also have limited
funds in my account.
No, no, no!You
are not just saying it.
You pity me
for just bumming around on
a couch, mooching free beers.
You thought of ruining my
mood by bringing that up.
I haven't paid rent
for four months.
My naked face is bothering you.
Bhai, why are you
stretching this out?
Just tell him when you'll
pay him back. That's all.
Well…
I'm waiting to hear back
from two or three auditions.
-I'll pay after that.
-Which auditions?
You stepped out of the
house today after two months.
Dude, you're constantly
breathing down my neck.
You even keep tabs on
when I take a dump or a leak.
Whether I've sent
my audition or not.
Don't expect a response
from today's audition.
Why?
Did the client reject it?
You must've had
some unresolved issues.
Tarun refused to
send your audition.
You didn't send the audition?
Asshole, why did you
even call me for an audition?
Hey!
Why the fuck did you ask me to shave
my face and look like some floozy?!
Generally, Tarun doesn't
follow up on the auditions sent.
And…
you probably pulled
some bullshit on him.
He clearly mentioned
that you have an
attitude problem.
Call him! Call
that bloody Tarun!
Ask him, what attitude
problem do I have?
Call him now, asshole!
I'm an actor.
I'm way fucking better
than everyone out there!
That's why I don't
go for auditions.
You bloody casting
people fuck us over,
just to fit your damn
roles. You assholes!
You think I don't knowwhy
you joined the casting company?
Yes.
We are fooling you.
So?
Out of a hundred places,
only one would do things fairly.
At the other 99 places,
you'd just get screwed over.
So?
He has written five
scripts in the last five years,
but hasn't sold a
single one. Is he crying?
He writes ads,
jingles for ads,
and script dialogues.
That's how he makes money,
pays his rent,and
treats his friends to beer.
I have an audition tomorrow.
And I've come to
know that it's fixed.
So, do you think I won't go?
I will.
I will go,
and I will smack my
bad luck right in the face.
I will hit it hard
until I defeat it!
I'm not going to sit around
at home, moping like you.
"I'm so damn talented! Come on…
come home and pick me!"
Yeah, talk louder, man.
Come on.
Be louder. Scream.
Hey, writer!You should
also scream at me.
I'm not able to pay
the rent after all.
I've already been
declared an asshole.
No issues, man.
Once I get my security deposit,
I'll give your money back.
Time to leave the
fucking heartbreak city.
And you both should
move to a different house.
I've not seen anything good
happening to anyone in this house.
The writer couldn't sell the script.
The actor couldn't land a role.
This fucking house is cursed.
-Hi, Prashant.
-Hello, Simran.
Did you check
yesterday's auditions?
Yeah, I saw them, Prashant.
Honestly, they weren't good.
Let's do some more.
Actually, there's been
an amazing audition.
I'll mail it to you.
See and let me
know if it is good.
-Yeah. Okay.
-Okay.
Take this. Now, we
will start the havan.
Pandit ji.
This house used to be
occupied by wealthy people.
Perform such a powerful havan
that not a single germ remains.
Hey, Prashant.
Ready for the audition?
Let's go.
Jimmy…
what's in that?
It has a protective
charm inside, Dad.
The English protective charm.
It is called "foo-foo."
It's huge!
Why are you going for
the auditionif it's fixed?
It'll be a waste of time.
Casting is planning to send
my bad takes to the producer…
which is why I have a plan too.
I will not give a
single bad take.
Hey, hero! All the best.
Bro, are you ready?
And…
Action!
Jimmy bhai, Jimmy bhai.
Jimmy bhai, the client is coming
tomorrow with the full payment.
Five crores, after deducting
five percent for paying early.
But we need to arrangeanother
five crores before the week ends.
So, let's aim to sell one more floor
of this house as quickly as possible.
Okay.
Bhaiya, I didn't quite understand
everything you did yesterday.
In fact, I felt like
it was wrong.
That poor half-bald man
came to see the house,
and there I was flaunting my
silky hair, making him feel inferior.
Why would he buy
a house from me?
Jatin, we weren't
making him feel inferior.
We were priming him.
Priming? What's that?
The foolery button.
Everyone has plenty of
such triggers in their mind.
And by pressing different triggers,
you can fool them in all sorts of ways.
Okay…
but what does
priming actually do?
Priming gets someone
into a mental state where,
even if they hadmade
up their mind before,
suddenly they believe whatever
you're selling is the right choice.
For example, you strike
the iron only when it's hot.
You need to charm her first, and only then
does your girlfriend let you put it in…
First…
Uncle triggered his insecurity
the moment he arrived.
And then…
stirred up his insecurity
once more, in front of his wife.
And then, by sending him tothe
wrong floor, we bruised his ego
by reminding him, in front of his
father,that he couldn't become a CA.
And here's the thing, Jatin.When
a man is burning with insecurity,
even a simple glance from
another man can ignite it further.
That glance could even
come from a mere photograph.
Oh!
And when that half-bald,
CA-fail man's ego
was wriggling on the floor,
the priming was done.
Later, when Uncle
referenced the rooftop proverb,
he wasn't sellingthe
terrace floor to him.
Uncle was offering him
a final chance to restore
his pride in front of
his wife and father.
A shot of testosterone
for his fragile ego.
Are you getting it?
But, bhaiya, why did you ask
Grover Uncle to rhyme the proverb?
Why prime, why rhyme?And
when they asked about me,
why did I make you saythat
my aunt died of a heart attack?
Come on, use
your brain a little.
Put it up.
Mood and… action!
I knew you'd get upset,
but I can't pretend
anymore, Ishan.
I don't feel anything
for you now.
I have tried to force
myself to feel, but…
there's nothing
that comes out now.
It doesn't feel
good hearing this…
but I'm not angry either.
I actually want to
thank you, Ridhi.
Are you being sarcastic?
No, I mean it.
I have no misconceptions
about myself.
I'm a below-average actor.
-That's okay.
-I've always been one.
But when I was…
I truly was.
I felt it, deeply.
Very few people
get to feel that, Ridhi.
And for that…
Thank you.
And… cut!
-That was good.
-Your reactions were great.
Thank you.
Let's do one more. Okay?
Want to tweak something?
You already have two takes.
Yeah, but it can still get better.
I'll take a quick smoke break.
We will do it again
once I'm back.
-Shalini, a minute, please.
-Yeah.
Shall we start?
Ready?
The lady… giving cues?
Shalini has another audition to prepare
for, so Sandeep will give the cues now.
Alright?
Let's go.
And… action!
I know you'll be upset,
but I can't keep
pretending anymore.
I don't feel anything
for you now.
I've tried to force
myself to feel,
but there is nothing
that comes out now.
I'm not angry. In fact…
I want to thank you.
Are you being sarcastic?
Let's do one more. Sorry.
Come on, man!Don't
stop until I say "cut."
It was going really well.
-Really? Was it good?
-Yeah.
Sorry. Let's go again.
-Jimmy…
-Fufa ji.
Just a moment.
-Please.
-Namaste.
Namaste. Namaste, dear.
This is my wife,and
this is my daughter.
Both mother and
daughter are very beautiful.
Three months ago,when I
moved here from Australia,
that's when I found outthis
is Jimmy bhaiya's new house.
Since then, I'd been
waiting for you all to move in.
Waiting for what?
Cute son of my beloved mama.
Eva, this is Jimmy bhaiya.
My wife.
I keep talking about you.
Really? What does he talk about?
-All those things--
-Oh God, cousin!
Don't you father-son duo
let your wives speak at all?
Eva will answer. Eva…
what does he talk about me?
He…
he tells me he spent the best
childhood with you and Prince.
He also told me he gave
you the nickname "Jimmy."
He told me that the family
is not on talking terms now.
And…
he feels really bad about it.
Good, good, good. Well done.
Now, that's three
good things. Okay?
Now, you tell me
three bad things that
he or his father
told you about me.
Nothing.
I'll give you options
to choose from.
The scam or the slap?
The pain of losing money
or the sting of the slap?
What does his father
cry about more?
Toni?
Bro, she's gettinga
bit uncomfortable now.
It's my first time
talking to a foreigner.
-Maybe I made her uncomfortable.
-I didn't say that, bhaiya.
Jimmy, let them eat.
Come, kids. I'll serve you food.
Come on.
How are you? This is Toni.
My brother-in-law Kukreja
ji's son.He's from Australia.
This is his wife and daughter.
Toni, come, I'll
show you the rooftop.
Jatin will help
Dad with the food.
His English is good, Eva.
Hi!
-I'll go. You'll be fine, right?
-Yeah, yeah.
Please come.
Mood… and action.
I know you'll be upset.
But I can't pretend anymore.
I don't feel anything
for you now.
I've tried to force
myself to feel,
but there is nothing
that is coming out now.
Actually, Prashant…
I didn't know youwanted
to pursue acting full-time.
If both of us wouldwant
to pursue acting full-time,
we'd run into a lot
of financial problems.
Look, Prashant, I'm
just being practical.
It's okay, Anjali.
I'm not upset.
Sure, I feel a little sad, but…
I want to thank you.
-Are you--
-I've always wanted to, you know?
Thank you.
I'm a below average boy,
I've always been.
Academics, looks, personality…
average at everything.
And when you are aware of this,
you don't really
have the confidence…
to walk up to a girl and say,
"I like you."
My entire school life was justa
series of one-sided love stories.
But at a college fest, after a few drinks,
I ended up spilling my heart to my crush.
Blame it on the alcohol
for my fake confidence.
That girl didn't just reject me.
She was also offended that…
I could even thinkI
had a chance with her.
She made sure I
didn't forget my "place."
She humiliated mein front
of everyone in the canteen.
That was it.
I decided…
I'd never confess my
feelings to anyone again.
And I guess…
I'll never know
what it feels like…
to love a girl and
be loved back by her.
But because of you, Anjali…
I learned what it feels like…
to love…
and be loved in return.
And if it's lost now, so be it.
What can we do?
But when it
existed, it was real.
I felt it deeply.
And for that…
thank you.
And cut!
Wow, that was amazing!
Buddy…
we'll have to do one more.
You said "Anjali"
instead of "Ridhi."
Does it really matter?
Even if I overlook that,
the script doesn't mention anything
about the character's eyes welling up.
How about we do
this one without tears?
Buddy…
With or without tears.
With a boy or a girl.
First take or the 50th take.
Nothing matters.
I'm a theater actor.
With every take,my
performance will get better.
I've got to get to work now.
I hope the director finds
something good in this.
Or else, I'll keep smacking
my bad luck in the face.
No, dude, I just thought…
I mean, if we could
get a variation…
-or a different flavor, maybe.
-Sorry, man.
I couldn't give a bad take.
I was telling Eva about your nickname
story a few days ago, Jimmy bhaiya.
-You remember, right?
-No.
Well, when you and
Prince had just moved in,
you used to say that everyone
had such cool nicknames.
Danny, Toni, Prince.
But you didn't have one.
Remember? We were all sitting in the
park, trying to come up with one for you.
That's when I said,
"Bhaiya, what about Jimmy?"
And you loved it.
Let me ask you
something. Just be honest.
Why are you here, Toni?
What do you want?
Bhaiya…
after coming backfrom
Australia, I noticed that
even now, whenever I
mention you guys in front of Dad,
there's still so much
bitterness in him!
And now, talking to you,
I can see it here as well.
The hate you carry inside.
So when I found out
you were moving here,
I decided that I
wanted to fix everything.
How will you do that?
You tell me, what's
your issue with Dad?
You mentioned something
downstairs as well, bhaiya.
The scam, the slap.
What was that about?
About my issues…
I'm sure your dad mentioned it
to you before he sent you here.
When has Dad ever
told me anything?
I asked Mom as well, but…
She only knows
what happened when we were kids.
After that, no one in the family knows
what went down between you two.
And… do you know your
dad's trying for an MP ticket?
Yes.
And…
that's why he sent
you here, Toni.
"Go and remind your Jimmy bhaiya
how close you used to be," right?
How can I even imagine competing
with the father of my dearest cousin Toni?
Come on, let me pack some
halwa for mami in those little cups.
Take it with you.
Dad didn't send me here, bhaiya.
I'm here by my own choice.
I swear!
Now, please tell me.
What did you mean
by "scam" and "slap"?
I scammed your dad, Toni.
Worth 30 crores.
But it was never
about the money.
In return for money,
I wanted to slap him.
I was going to return
your dad's money…
but then I found
out about his plan.
What plan?
Murder plan.
Whose murder?
Toni, if I spill the details,
you'll grab your wife and kidand
be on the next flight to Australia.
If you weren't this
cute, I might've told you.
The thing is,
if I return the 30 crores to
your dad, his problem is solved.
But after what your
dad did to me, Toni,
there's nothing you or he can
do to make this right for me.
I will do it, bhaiya.
Can you return the money?
Do you need my help?
Toni, I invested that money
into constructing this house.
I even started a firmin
my name and your dad's.
M cube B cube Builders.
So once these floors are sold,
I'll be able to pay
your dad back.
Oh, you see, Ori,
I don't know. It's--
You know how it is.It's
just really competitive.
Do one thing. Just…
Yeah, I'll give you my number,
and let's meet again.
Thank you so much,
Tarun. I'll call you.
-Great. See you.
-Yeah.
Yeah.
-I'll take your leave. Thank you.
-Alright. All the best!
Thank you.
Prashant.
Are you just coming to work?
I had an audition
today. I told you.
And I told you…
that the actor
was already fixed.
And yet, you went
for the audition!
Well, all the best.
Tarun, I…
-I showed Manish's audition to the client.
-Whose?
The one you said
had attitude issues.
Why?
I told you not to, didn't I?
All of yesterday'sauditions
got rejected, Tarun.
Even Amit's.That is
why I sent his audition.
And the client said,
"He is very good."
Audition, good. Attitude?
Shitty! Did you
tell the client that?
It's just an artist's ego, sir.
But he's very professional.
He's always on time
and comes fully prepared.
And…
he does show some
attitude to the casting people,
but on the set, he sincerely
follows the director's instructions.
You know…
your friend once
said something to me
during an audition.
What was it?
Buddy, a director's job
is to say "action" and "cut"
and to handle everything
that happens in between.
A casting director's job is
also to say "action" and "cut,"
but in between, they just stand
still without uttering a word,
so that the actor's
job isn't disturbed.
So, the director is respected,
and the casting
director is humiliated!
Why, man?
Do one thing.
Call the client. Let
me talk to them.
Tarun… he really
needs the money.
He's planning to go back home.
Please, Tarun. If he gets this ad,
he can stay in Mumbai a little longer.
Just let him go back home!
People like him can't
make it in this city.
Go and prepare for the audition.
Hey! Hi, Simran.
Listen, about that audition
Prashant sent you earlier today?
Yeah, I think you liked it.
But, Simran, the thing
is, he's a blacklisted actor.
Oh, no, no.
Prashant doesn't know that.
He's new here.
WHO'S THE HERO?
Hey, where are you going?
Home.
Already?
You just got here, man.
I'm not coming back.
You're leaving?
So, you're just
leaving with your stuff?
That moron farted on your face.
Revenge!
-Should I hit him?
-Long live Delhi NCR.
The first thought is
always, "Hit the bastard!"
Bro, you're an artist.
Even revenge…
should look like art.
Listen up, everyone!
Who here is a method actor,
who has that level of control,
who can, whenever he wants…
just fart?
-Sir! I can do it!
-Sir! I will do it.
-I will do it, sir!
-I can do it.
-Me, sir!
-I'll do it.
Threesome! What else?
-Boring, bro. You're very boring.
-Amit.
I'll call you back.
There's a brief.
Wanna audition?
First time you've come
to me on your own. Nice!
Let me know if you want
to eat something now.
When the take begins,I
want non-stop fart bombs.
-Don't worry, sir. It will be done.
-What's the ad for, sir?
You've apprehended a
spy working for the enemy.
But he won't talk.
You've tried every
kind of torture,
but nothing's working.
I won't break. Do
whatever you want.
If you want to defeat
me, bring something
that can strike from within,
that can attack the
passion burning in my heart.
Sir, how can we
attack him from within?
I know exactly
what will break him
by striking him from within.
JNG torture!
JNG torture?
Jeopardous Natural Gas torture!
-Tape his mouth shut.
-Yes, sir!
Position!
Load!
Explode!
Reload!
Explode!
And now…
one final attack!
From point-blank range,
place the cannon
right on the nose.
The momentJeopardous
Natural Gas torture begins,
the spy loses all his passion.
And then, the brand
message appears…
"If this gas can break
even the strongest spirit,
it can just as easilytake
the lives of your loved ones.
Hing Raj Goli,takes
care of your digestion."
Uncle, my candidate
has messaged me.
I need to go.Something
urgent has come up.
-You'll handle things here?
-Yeah, don't worry.
And a truck's coming from
the old house with Dad's stuff.
-Have them taken upstairs.
-Done.
Why did he come?
He wanted to fix everything,
but I know his dad
sent him to negotiate.
He's scared shitless that
Jimmy might raise money
for another candidate's ticket.
Jimmy, if possible,sort
things out with your mama.
You're using all the money
you got from selling floors
for your candidate's ticket.
You've already given 15 crores.
Will you make me a Taj
Mahal with those 15 crores?
If mama becomes an MP, you'll be
a widow before you even tie the knot.
Mahasingh ji, another five crores will
be added to the party fund in two days.
And I heard you wanted to
tell me something important.
Jimmy bhai…
what I wanted to say is that…
we don't need more money now.
That's it.
What happened?
Because there's no waywe
can match Kukreja's numbers.
Why not, Mahasingh ji?
I've already put in twenty crores into
the party fund, including today's five.
You managed 15 more,
and that makes it 35.
How much has Kukreja
put in? 40 crores?
We can cross that easily.
Jimmy bhai, I've got fresh numbers
from the party president this morning.
Total…
In total, Kukreja has given
80 crores to the party fund.
-80 crores?
-Yes.
Where the hell didhe
get that kind of money?
Some Ellora Real Estate
guy alone gave 40 crores.
Must be tight with Kukreja.
Mahasingh ji…
-keep the party president engaged.
-Jimmy bhai--
Let him know our
funding will exceed this.
-But how?
-I will manage.
Just make sure your name
stays in the running for the ticket.
Son of a bitch.
Jimmy bhai, the truck
with your dad's stuff is here.
But he's refusingto
bring his things inside.
He's sending it back
to the old house.
He says once the guests
leave, he'll leave too.
-I'll come and figure something out.
-Hey, listen! Listen!
There's some good news as well.
A client called me.
He wants to buy a
floor in our new house.
So then call him.
Here's the best part, Jimmy bhai!
He has already seen the place.
He mentioned he'll give the advance first,
and we can settle the price afterward.
Everyone is talking
about you, Jimmy.
Once you quote the
price, there's no going back.
We'll have to buy the
house for that amount.
And if someone negotiates,
then even on a higher price.
You know what, Yadav ji?
If you quote a higher price
and then reduce it,
you are devaluing your own word.
Fair point.
I also work in a certain way.
The price I set
after calculating
is the price I'll
pay for the house.
But if someone
pushes me too hard,
-I'll go even lower.
-Really?
You don't negotiate either?
In that case, Yadav ji,whether
we are closing the deal or not
will be decided instantly.
You give me your number.
If the numbers match,
we shake hands.
Otherwise, we walk away.
Five.
It was nice meeting
you, Yadav ji.
Five per floor.
Fifteen for three floors.
Five percent advance… right now.
I'm doing you a favor.
My assessment
was lower than this.
But Toni ji asked me
to be a little lenient.
Now if the numbers
match, it's all good.
Otherwise…
Jatin, where is
the heart located?
Sorry, Yadav ji.
You've underquoted once again.
That's alright.
Looks like you're notin
the mood to sell today.
Yadav ji.
There's one thing we can do,
even if we can't
negotiate the price.
Let me speak to Toni ji.
How will I pay 15
crores in two days?
I'm sending 75 lakhs
as an advance right now.
I'll pay the rest of the
price in a month.Trust me.
Nope. Two days.
Bhaiya, I'm genuinely
trying to help you.
The sooner you sell the floors,
the sooner you can repay Dad.
And then we have to
dealwith your issue too.
I'm returning the advance.
If you really want to help,make
the full payment in two days.
Paying 15 crores in
two days isn't possible.
But whenever you're okay
with giving me a month,
I'm ready to buy your floors.
Jimmy, will you drop me
off, or should I take an auto?
Listen, Toni.
I have an idea.
Jimmy, you asshole!
You told me earlier today
that we urgently need
five crores for the MP ticket
and that we have to sell the floor
of this house as soon as possible.
Now that we could have
sold the whole house,
why did you say no, you moron?
He was locking up my 15-crore
inventory for just 75 lakhs upfront.
We would have gotten
the money after a month.
I need the money
this week, Uncle.
Do you see how this father
and son are trying to scam me?
So…
shall we go?
Sure.
But first, let's meet mama.
Mama? Why?
I'm planning to return
your dad's money anyway.
Okay?
But shall we meet mama
and discuss my issue once?
Sure! When do you want to meet?
Today.
Right now.
You told me that he's upset
because I didn't return his money.
Let's settle everything
today for good.
After that, if you like,
you can either go back
home or move in here.
Namaste, fufa ji.
Please come.
Dad, they're here.
Should I get your bottoms?
You look different.
You look like an uncle.
Yeah, okay.
How much?
And what kind of milk?
Okay.
Alright. One kilo of tomatoes,
one kilo of potatoes, and
half a liter of toned milk. Okay?
Yeah, okay. See you.
What's the matter? You good?
Sumit sir…
