Bazodee (2015) - full transcript

Anita Panchouri is the doting daughter of a deep in debt Indian businessman. She's on the verge of willingly marrying a wealthy suitor when she meets a romantic rasta singer, Lee de Leon who's drafted last minute to perform at her engagement party. There are sparks, naturally, but Anita refuses to acknowledge them, focusing instead on playing matchmaker to a constantly bickering, secretly-in-love couple: her sarcastic cousin Poorvi and her underachieving future brother-in-law, Partiv. Of course, no one can see these sworn enemies are made for each other...no one except Lee who vows to unite the two. Anita is skeptical that Lee, the newly arrived stranger, can pull off a feat she's been trying to accomplish for years. When he succeeds in transforming the fighters into love birds through a little creative Cupidry, however, Anita's moved by Lee's romantic gifts and decides she wants to be with him, just once, before she enters a loveless marriage for the sake of her father's future. But Anita's designs on Lee don't go unnoticed. Nikhil, the territorial younger brother of Anita's fiancé, picks up on the attraction, especially when Lee unexpectedly switches his set to sing a love song at a big soca show. And when Nikhil learns the true state of the dismal Panchouri finances the family's been hiding, he sets about a plan of revenge that will destroy Anita and her father and crush her chance at true love. Set in beautiful Trinidad and Tobago, BAZODEE is a Bollywood style Caribbean musical about being true to yourself and honest in love at all costs.

Oh, God.

If this is your airport look,

I"d hate to see what you're
doing for the engagement party.

I don"t want him to forget
what he"s been missing.

Poorvi, some lip gloss.

No.

Partiv"s going to be there.

That"s nice. They let the
non-achieving branch

of the Kumar family tree
come along for the ride?

He"s not like the rest of them.

He is his own man.



Come on.

You look so beautiful.

I"m sure you'll knock
his socks off.

Come along, let"s go.

Mr. Panchouri,
you need to sign these.

Oh, no, Gopal, not now.

We"re getting late,

and we can"t afford that.

Glencoe. Sande Grande.
Arima. Toco.

No, thank you.

Your size good,
We ain"t 'fraid to small up.

We going off-route, dread.

All right, boss, next time?

Yes.



What did you say to that guy?

I told him

while we don"t mind
squeezing into his vehicle,

our stop"s off the beaten path,

which means he"d have
difficulty getting

a return fare.

He"ll be mayor
in a week, your brother.

You just have to do
your pre-travel research.

They"ve sent a limo.

You cannot stop here.

Well, if you did
your job, officer

and moved these cars along,

I wouldn"t need to
stay here, would I?

Listen, don"t get smart,
just move the jeep.

Right, I"m not afraid to give a
nice car ticket, you know.

Don"t worry, officer, be happy.

Papa, Papa, don"t stress.

I"ll go get them.

Wow.

I love that song.

How you know all them words?

Played it, like,
a million times.

Yeah, right.

Why"s that funny?

"Cause I wrote it.

You wrote "Gyal Wuk"?

Lee de Leon.

Mr. Gyal Wuk
at your service.

Anita Panchouri.
I love your music.

Where have you been?

I don"t really do music no more.

I took a break from that.

A break?

You make happy music.

The world needs that.

Believe me.

I gotta go.

It was nice meeting you.

This is not your car!

You"re cutting it fine
arriving on the day

of the party.

Well, I did bring
a peace offering

for staying away so long.

So...

Beautiful.

You"re forgiven.

Good, how are you?

Hi.

Papa, you look great.

Lokesh, my old friend.

Welcome to Trinidad and Tobago.

Such a pleasure to come back
and see you, eh?

And my humble home is yours.

Just a minute, I"ve had an idea.

Can I show you
what Papa"s been building?

I know you"re really tired.

Splendid idea.

Come along, it"s on the way.

Easy.

All right, partner,

who say I don"t come
through for you?

I got you the best one.

Concrete pourer number one.

Nice.

You"re starting tomorrow.

All right?

And a good thing
you ain"t playing no more

"cause a guy lost his finger

in an accident last week.

What?
Don"t worry.

Tell me about London.

London.
London.

Here we are.

This is the first
of 28 stand-alone structures

in my resort of 180 units.

Studios, one-bedrooms,
luxury suites,

a great gym, a pool.

Prime beachfront.

Seventy-four acres of land,

surrounded by sea
on all three sides.

Means the spa can have
fresh fruit and juices

from its very own orchard.

That, too.

How did you secure
all this then?

I went to the owners one by one,

and I cobbled it together.

Took him five years.

By the end of the year,

half these units will be open

and so will the Revive Spa.

Caribbean Airlines
is already asking

about their package deals
for London flights.

It"s the heaviest flight load.

Impressive.

Location specific.
Yeah.

It"s beautiful.

The photos don"t do it justice.

As always, Ram,
an eye for an opportunity.

Finally, it"s all coming
together.

Come, let"s go.

Hey, what"s her name?

Forget her.

Tell me about her.

Stop playing that, man,
tell me the names, stats.

Remember, I"m a married man,

so tell me everything.

Bud, it"s pictures I took,
not an inventory.

Man, you"ve been living
your life in London,

playing with all
the big pop stars.

Backup rhythm guitar
on a few acoustic covers.

Guesting on all the big tracks.

Cut from all the album versions.

You"re right, who needs it, uh?

You"re gonna love
construction anyway.

Yeah, but...

I been thinking.

Dread, it"s Carnival.

It would be crazy
not to take a shot.

Shot? Nah, nah, nah.

You said you were done.

You said to shoot you
if you sing another song.

Hey, de Leon, you reach back.

You done know.

Yes, man.
Big brother.

Yeah.

You know, he and Cynthia,
they are...

Break up.

And getting back together.

You leave spies?

It"s always the same news.

Hey, watch.

Invite me up.

And what"s your news?

Eh, Bud, your boy is back.

Who would take you back now?

You"ve been away for so long.

We could cut a few demos.

Demos cost money.

I ain"t hear talk
about money yet.

So book some gigs.

Yeah, but nobody
hires musicians anymore.

There"s only DJ work now.

I find this on the board.

This?

This has been all around town,

some guy looking for a set
of musicians.

Plus, must be skilled
in tabla and sitar.

Not a problem.

Since when you play sitar?

Brother, I play life.

Just book it.

All right, boss.

Namaste.

Proceed this way.

Sita, I haven"t seen you
since the ballet in Delhi.

Welcome, welcome.

Come and join the party.

Poru, you look fantastic.
So good to see you.

Welcome, welcome.
Always a pleasure.

Hey, Rakshan!

Hey.
Hey.

That"s an awfully small sitar.

I play sitar on the ukulele.

Yeah?

Yeah, I been doing this
for some time now in England.

Really?

Mmm-hmm, I just echo
what you play.

Yeah... echo.

Excuse me.

No.

I say we pack up and leave!

Oh, my gosh, you look gorgeous.

Just putting her
best foot forward.

When young Kumar
see her tonight,

for sure the hook going
all the way in.

He will set that date one time.

Haha! Looks like we don"t
need our passion fruit anymore.

We need you downstairs.

Oh, my God.

Sweeter, hotter.

Uncle is stressing
about the roti skins

or something.

Oh, really?

God, your father will drive
me crazy.

I am gonna have a
little pow-wow with Poorvi.

Child, you need to put
some clothes on.

Come along.

What? No, I have things
to do.

It"s an engagement party.

You have to dress
a little better.

It won"t take a minute.

I"ve got plans for you, Missy.

Oh, my God!
Anita you look amazing.

Jasmine, two minutes,
two minutes.

Papa, is everything okay?

Oh, yes... fine.
They"re just bluffing.

They want me to make
a higher offer.

But I won"t.
You know why?

Business 101.

They are here with all
their musicians, technicians,

in front of the cream
of Trinidad society.

They"re not just gonna
walk away, are they?

Papa, I think...

Go, go!

They will rue the day.

Don"t worry,

everything is gonna be okay.

I"ll play.

Oh, uh, you a
professional musician?

Absolutely, sir.

And, uh, your band?

Me, and me alone.

You and your...

Ukulele.

Ukulele, right.

Sanjay, bring my CD
collection, please.

Papa, let him play.
He"s good.

How do you know?

I"ve heard him.

Come on, I"m not gonna
ruin the party.

Okay, I trust you, my darling.

Sanjay, show our musician friend

where he can set up
with his, uh, ukulele.

Come this way, sir.

Ah, Mr. Panchouri.

Oh, hey!

Hi.

Hi.

You"re um... Partiv.

The other brother.

Right and you are... The blogger.

Poorvi"s coming.
Say something nice.

What do I even say?

Tell her she looks beautiful.

Poorvi, you look...

Ridiculous, I know.

Anita painted me up
like drywall, hmm.

Okay. Landa.

I"m going to get a drink.

It"s a free bar.

Still playing matchmaker?

And failing miserably.

Congrats.

I never thought
you"d be my sister-in-law.

But you made the right choice.

I did.

Whoo!

Thank you.

At least the drinks
are priceless,

even if the jury"s out
on the entertainment.

Strange Ram sent
the musicians home.

Is there some sort
of local strike?

I"d like to strike them
with my fist.

He"s Ram Panchouri.

He"s the reason half
of them have houses.

Yes, of course.

I"m Jasmine.

Nikhil Kumar.

You"re the other brother.

Indeed.

It was nice meeting you.

Oh, my God, this is ridiculous.

Who gets married in a palace?

A princess.

When all this is over

and we"re back in London,

it"ll be breakfast in bed,

morning jogs,

and evening strolls.

Just the two of us.

Yeah?

You"ve got to dump India Steel.

I don"t care what
they"re telling you.

They"re in a slide and
their internals aren"t good.

However, there is
an engineering firm

out of Bangalore we"ll want
to take a look at.

Did you notice he let go
the first set of musicians?

It"s odd to be changing plans
mid-stream, don"t you think?

Ram can be eccentric.

Chaotic more like it.

It"s taken them three hours

to set up one buffet table.

They just want to make
the best impression.

Nikhil, they"re doing
a great job hosting this.

Let"s not spoil it.

Do you think we should
take our seats?

I"m just gonna have a little
bit of a stroll around.

I"ll see you then.

Poorvi, I think you should
sit next to Partiv.

Anita, stop.

Partiv is, like, a very sweet,

very lost big brother.

I live in the real world,
and in the real world,

he gets motion sickness
from a tire swing.

Let"s face it,
he"d be the first one

voted off the island.

Let"s go.

He wouldn"t.

I hope he doesn"t sing
about weed.

I hope he does sing about weed.

And share some, too.

Ooh.

That one guy is doing
all the music?

He better be good.

Dad"s a stickler for music

now that he"s a season sponsor

of the Bristol Philharmonic.

Where"s Nikhil?

Friends...

may I have your attention,
please?

This celebration tonight
is to welcome the Kumars

from London with our famous
Trinidadian hospitality.

And, and with these words
of wisdom:

Nobody teaches the volcano
how to erupt.

Nobody teaches the tsunami
how to sweep everything

before it.

No one teaches the hurricane
how to wreak havoc.

No one teaches a man
how to find a wife.

Nobody teaches a woman
how to find love.

Natural disasters just happen.

Let the music begin.

Here we go!

Well, this one is about
uniting the nation!

Why can"t we all get along?

You have to work,

even while the big party"s
going on.

There were a few pressing
emails I needed to attend to.

Vertical gardens.

Tea lounges, steam rooms.

The largest hamam
in the entire Caribbean.

Oh, Mr. Panchouri has thought
of everything.

It"s amazing that Ram
is able to manage

his cashflow during
the construction phase,

before the revenue starts
coming in.

There will be advances in place.

Yes, of course.

Anita mentioned that.

Mr. Panchouri is
a visionary.

Very wise man.

Well, do come join us.

Of course I will.
See you in a bit.

Enjoy.

That was great!

Come here, you.

Fantastic show, uh?
Thank you.

Not too bad yourself.
Oh, you"re teasing.

You were amazing.

Good, right?

I don"t know how much
encouragement

I wanna give a stalker.

Stalker? You"re the one
singing all my songs

all the time.

How did you find me?

Fate and a flyer.

I was singing the song
in my room.

How did you know?

Listen, I just followed
your lead.

Followed my lead?
What?

Anyway, why"s your dad
having this big party?

Oh, my God.

Hello, we need to talk
about your man, okay?

So, I was finally able to pry
him away from the aunties.

And I am sorry,

he is amazing.

I"m so jealous of you.

You have the perfect
engagement party,

perfect husband, perfect ring.

I"ll tell you all about it.

Lee, you were fantastic.
Thank you.

You must meet my friend, Vijay.

He"s been organizing some
fantastic concerts here lately.

Lee, I remember you,
another big hit.

Went to London, disappear.

Bud still managing you?

Still with Bud, man.

Have a drink,
catch up on old times.

Tell ya everything
would have been perfect.

Everybody talking about how

it"s the best engagement party

they ever went to.

They like the food,
they like the decorations.

And everybody saying
you look so nice.

Except Nadia.

I see her watching you.

You know, she want to look
like you for her wedding.

I"ll tell you a story
about her later.

And I didn"t know Mr. Lokesh
could dance like that.

Hey, I saw that my dad
hooked you up with Vijay.

Amazing.

I got a gig Sunday night.

He has the perfect venue.

You"re gonna be amazing.

Whatcha looking at?

That is my fiancee"s brother.

I"ve been trying to hook him up

with my cousin forever.

Just get them in a
romantic place.

Where?

Like a island.

We"re already on an island.

Like a desert island.

You know, shipwreck,
two of them alone.

How am I supposed to do that?

Get them to Pigeon Point.

I can"t get these people
to the cinema.

How am I supposed
to get them to Pigeon Point?

Listen, I have a cousin
named Soul Boy

who rents boats in Pigeon Point.

Okay, but what if I can"t get
the two of them

both out there together?

You got me back into music.

This is way easier than that.

Congrats, by the way.

I didn"t know you's
getting married.

I am.

You make a great couple.

So, friends?

Friendship.

Thank you.

I"m turning in.
That was some party.

Your dad must"ve invested
a lot in it.

Papa doesn"t think
about money when it comes

to this kind of thing.

My dad doesn"t either.

That"s what you and I
have in common.

We have to protect our fathers.

Good night.

Good night.

So, what"s on the agenda
for tomorrow?

Let"s go paddleboarding.

You want to go paddleboarding?

I don"t care what we do.

As long as we"re together.

You make it hard
to respect the house rules.

But I don"t want
your father thinking

I take you for granted
because, well, you know.

I"m a good girl?
You"re a good woman.

I love you.
Good night.

Good night.

We had an amazing night
tonight, Ma.

And don"t worry,
I"m looking after Papa.

That"s fantastic.

Really, really great, yeah.

Yeah, so I"ll call you tomorrow.

Great, yeah, bless.

I just finished dealing
with that fella Vijay

I set you up with.

You set me up with?

Also got studio time for you.

So, when we finish eat,
we"re going over there.

Seen.
Seen.

Wait, wait.

Scratch that.

It"ll have to be another day.

What do you mean, Lee?

Carnival ain"t waiting
for you, you know.

It"s either you're in
or you"re out.

Yeah, but I promised
somebody I"d do something.

Well, un-promise it.

I can"t.

It"s a woman promise.

She"s a friend, and I owe her.

Look, let me just
do this one thing

for her and we"ll be even.

Be even?
Lee?

Lee!

You didn"t even
finish your food.

Okay, I"m off.

Don"t forget to update
the pictures

to the website.

I"ll do it as soon
as I finish this package

for young Mr. Kumar.

Nikhil?

Uh, yes.

We had a chat last night.

He seems very interested
in the spa resort.

I"d prefer if you don't
talk to him about that.

But he"s our guest.

I know, but I think he
might be involved

with other developers
and digging for information.

I don"t want anyone stealing
Papa"s great ideas.

Of course, but do you
really think...

Gopal, please.

No more private meetings.

We need to keep everything
on track.

Okay.

Come on, we"re gonna miss
the boat.

Which one you prefer?
This one or this one?

You already have a bag.

Come on, we"re gonna
miss the boat.

Look at the sea of boats.

Gorgeous islands.

Yes.

We can paddle
all the way out there.

All right.

This is how we"re doing this.

You and you.

You and you.

And you and you.

Uh, I"d really prefer not
to be paired with someone.

Hear now, partner.

Science does not care
what you prefer.

Science is a calculation
of weight and distribution.

Would you like
to drown today, brother?

No, sir.

Thought not.

That leaves you and me.

All right, everybody,
let"s head out.

I have no idea, either.

I don"t know.
Which side do you want?

Oh, no, no, no, not this boat.

That boat, all right?

But they look the same.

He"s still doing
the fashion retailing,

but he"s just got into
bed sheets and high-quality...

I don"t wanna bore you folks.

Nonsense, we need to know
about each other"s work.

It might be a good
partnership with the spa.

Oh, I"m sure there's
all kinds of, you know,

synergies between
our businesses.

Now, if only Partiv
could get started

on something.

By the way,
where is Partiv anyway?

Well, I have a feeling
that they"re gonna be back

any minute now.

Now, this one
on the other hand...

Tell Ram how in a single visit

to Gujarat last March,

you were able to get all
the textile plants together

in one go and double the output
of his London product, eh.

Actually came from
something Anita said.

Really?

I"m just gonna go
for a walk, okay?

You okay?

Yeah, I"m fine.
I can join you.

I"ll just be a minute.
Okay.

Hey.
Hey.

So, how"s the plan going?

Come see for yourself.

Amazing.

Yeah? Let me see.

Let me see, let me see.

Oh, my God, now they"re not
even talking to each other.

What?

I didn"t know you were gonna
sink their boat.

Don"t panic.

It"s up to us to add
the magic ingredients,

stir in a little love.

How are supposed to do that?

We improvise.

Look.

That"s sophisticated.

There you are.

You didn"t happen to see
Poorvi or Partiv anywhere,

did you?

Everyone"s starting
to get worried.

You okay?

Yeah.

Should we head back?

Mmm-hmmm.

What"s up?

Here you are, my man.

Look, a boat can"t
just disappear.

Okay.

Really starting to think
they killed each other.

I"m getting quite worried.

I think we should look for them.

Look at that.

Oh, my God.

I think I"ve had
too much to drink.

Or maybe, it"s just an
old fashioned sunstroke.

You little schemer.

You set this up.

Have another card?

You are a goddess
of love, you know that?

Uh... must be a mistake.

Run it again.

Declined.
Ran it twice.

Um...

Here, take this one.

Lokesh, I can"t let you.
You"re my guest.

Hey, Ram, we"re family now.
It"s okay.

- But...
- It"s okay.

You"ve been checking
your phone all evening.

Any update on India Steel?

Dad, you respect my advice.

Sure.

You"re better than
my best financial guys.

Then listen to me.

This is the beginning
of them living off

what we"ve built.

Nikhil, his card
didn"t go through,

these things happen.

It"s a bad investment.

They"re a bad investment.

Look, you"re not gonna get
very far in life

only seeing the worst in people.

Okay?

My old friend is fine.

Lee, about what happened...

It"s okay.

No, it"s just...

The music, I get carried away.

That song you heard me
singing last night,

my mom used to sing that.

Your mom?

She died when I was six.

Sorry.

But I know what
that could feel like.

My dad left us and
I couldn"t deal with it.

Then I found music.

Yeah, you can get lost in music.

Yeah.

The whole world
is black and white,

and then, boom!

You"re singing out loud.

And everything"s in color.

Yeah.

It makes me feel...

Bazodee.

Like you wake up
and you have no idea

where you are.

That"s how I felt
when I heard you

singing upstairs in that room.

But it"s not real.

Yeah. Exactly.

I"m sorry.

It was wrong.

Don"t worry, gone.

Forgotten, "kay?

You are never gonna believe it.

From Rambagh Palace.

They"ve had a cancellation.

Our full fee"s already in.

We can have the entire palace.

In three weeks?

I can be there.

Let"s do it.

Guys, this isn"t up to you.

It"s up to her.

Anita, everyone who needs
to be there will be there.

It can be just like
we always dreamed.

What do you say?

Yes.

Dads, we"re getting married.

Fantastic!

Let"s book our tickets
to magical Jaipur.

Come along.

Papa, we don"t have
the money for this.

We can always borrow
against the house.

It"ll be all right.

Let"s go!

It looks gorgeous on you.

Look as though
you"re getting ready

for a funeral.

Feel like I"m going
to a funeral.

You don"t write like it.

This is the one
you been working on, right?

You"re performing this tonight?

You have three verses
of new music

that you don"t want to sing?

Lee, whoever this woman is,

she"s your muse, dread.

She"s inspired you
to be amazing.

You don"t just shut
the door on that.

I"m looking for Lee.

Oh, there you are, hey.

Looking sharp.

Thank you.

How you feeling?

Really good.

Vijay.

Hi. Nikhil.

Vijay.

This is a very
impressive set-up.

I"d love to learn more about it.

Sure, anytime.

Ram has my number.

Let"s meet up, have some
drinks, talk about it.

Excellent.

Big crowd out there.

Big expectations.

You"re gonna rock it.

Gonna soak them with some soca.

I"m sure you will.

- Don"t let me down.
- Enjoy.

Hey, Vijay.

How you doing?

Thanks, thanks, man.

Ram, see, took your advice.

Show time!
Show time!

Come on, come on!
Let"s go!

Vijay, Lee, time to leave.

Let"s go.
Get up, get up, get up!

Let"s go, show time!

Thank you.

Hey, remember what you
said at the airport?

What?

You told me my music
make people happy.

Well, tonight, I"m gonna do it.

I"m gonna make everybody happy.

800,000 women on this island

and you had to choose the one

with the biggest rock
on her finger.

Introducing to you,
the man to shut it down,

the one, the only, Lee de Leon!

Ay, you!

Come here!

Congrats, man.

Lee was amazing.

We have to go
and congratulate him.

No, not now.

He"s going to be
surrounded by fans.

Let"s go sit at the bar.

Lokesh, come.

We have to go.

I just knew it!
Knew it!

He definitely didn"t
let us down.

Excuse me.
Sorry, guys.

Anita!

Meet me tonight.

This is madness.

This is Carnival.

Go.

Go.

Come on, Anita.

You can get lost
in a place like this.

You need to do a better job

looking after your bride.

I will.

I"ll never let you go again.

Come on.

Hi, Lee.

Totally lovely show.

It was so good.

You were amazing.

May I have your autograph?

What does it say?

Sorry, Miss Anita,
didn"t mean to wake you.

Take me with you.

What?
Take me with you.

Your father would kill me.

It have all kind of rough men
and vagabonds out.

This is my last chance.

I hope this don"t have
anything to do

with that soca boy you know.

Come on.

Show me how you party.

Tonight is about us.

Mr. Kumar.

You are needing some help, sir?

No.

Just getting a spot
of fresh air.

Well, um, I just have to deliver
my peppers here now, eh?

Of course.

Peppers wait for no man.

That"s right.

Bharat, wake up!

Driver, you need to go faster.

No worries, man.

Hey, Nikki, I appreciate
a midnight run

as much as the next guy,

but this is a ridiculous
waste of my time.

You"ll see.
She"s playing you.

Stop worrying about the time.

I have to keep track.

You have nowhere else to be.

No Partiv and Poorvi to fix,

no daddy to please.

You know everything about me,

and I know nothing about you.

Well, stay and you can
ask me anything.

Okay.

Where"s your family?

You said I could
ask you anything.

I never knew my dad.

And my mom, she"s a nurse Miami.

I was raised by my granny
in deep south.

A country boy.

Granny teach us everything,

even to play the guitar.

She used to play for us
every Sunday in Sunday school.

You? Sunday school?

Haul your ass.
I was a choir boy.

How does a choir boy
wind up singing soca?

She used to play
all her records every day

except Sunday.

Kitchener was her boy.

Every time he win a crown

she would run out in the street

and ring this bell she had.

Like if she win the crown.

I wanna make people
feel like doing that.

I wanna write the songs
that make people feel

like doing that.

You"re doing it.

"Cause of you.

You"re obsessed with her.

What do you think
she"s stealing off

to do in the middle
of the night?

How do you know
she"s not at home?

Because she"s not
in her room. I checked.

There are 14 rooms
in that house.

Trust me, okay?

She"s not out buying
a wedding sari.

Isn"t that Vijay?

Young Mr. Kumar,

I didn"t know you wanted
to come Carnival.

You should"ve told me
to wait for you.

I"m going home.

Wait.

It"s crazy, really.

I mean, can you believe it?

Me, dancing and drinking
at a soca fete.

I don"t do these things.

Oh, my God!

And Partiv is talking
about us moving in together.

We can be together in London.

You and me in the city
of Shakespeare.

Will and Kate, Big Ben.

It"ll be amazing.

We could team up.

I could do custom remodeling,
you could sell.

We"re gonna be unstoppable.

Cup of tea, anyone?

Looking for something,
Mr. Nikhil?

Just hoping to find a stapler.

Have you got one?

There is one on the desk
right in front of you.

Silly me.

Now you have got to leave.

I must insist.

Whatever competitor
you"re working for

will have to come up
with your own ideas.

Mr. Panchouri"s vision
is completely confidential.

What on earth
are you talking about?

I suppose it"s that horrible
Club Caribe corporation.

They have wanted
that land forever

to build their God-awful
timeshares.

Club Caribe?

So, I"ve guessed correctly?

Correctly? No.

Perfectly.

Absolutely perfectly.

Tonight, Ariapita Avenue.
I"m taking you.

You have to tell him something.

He don"t even know you"re going.

There"s nothing to tell,
it"s over.

You can lie,
but your face can"t.

Go and tell him the truth.

The truth is that
I made a mistake,

and I need to fix it.

You don"t have to marry Bharat.

You want me to fail Papa?

And have everyone
say he climbed higher

than he should have?

Don"t nobody care
about that kind of thing.

They say they don"t,
but they do.

When I"m Mrs. Kumar,
no one will ever say that

about him again.

But Lee"s out there thinking...

He will get drunk and
get back on the music truck.

No, he won"t.

He"ll come looking for you.

He can"t come here.

He"ll come

and then you"ll have
to tell him to his face.

What if it never happened?

You can"t change that.
Yes, I can.

All he knows about what I feel

is what I tell him.

Miss Anita,
I don"t think you understand

what you"re doing.

You"re lying about love
and it"s your future

you"re talking about.

Lalima, don"t you
have any other work?

Dad.

What?

I want you to forget
everything I said

about Ram"s project.

Good, because apparently,

he needs a little more
capitalization

to get to the finish line.

I think you should do a bit more

than capitalization here.

You said it was
a terrible investment.

The property itself is
the tangible asset.

The rest has some risk
associated with it,

which is why you need
to maintain power

of execution.

Am I to be
the majority investor?

Trust me, Dad.

I"ll draw up the deal memo,

you hand it to Ram.

Everyone will be pleased

and protected.

Don"t make it one
of those one-sided,

take-no-prisoners agreements.

Why would I do that?

It"s just a simple deal memo
to define the parameters

so that there are no
misunderstandings

down the road.

We all trust each other.

We"re family now.

Hello?

Anita.

Anita.

I think about you all day.

Can"t wait to see you.

I can"t come.

What do you mean
you"re not coming?

It was a mistake.

Babe, stop doubting yourself.

In what world can you
and I ever be together?

Anita.

There was a bet.

A bet?

A bet

to hook up with a black man.

Stop making this up.

Anita!

I"m sorry.

Ani...

Brilliant.

Thank you, Vijay.

Yeah.

Has Anita seen this agreement?

The idea for the two families

to collaborate on this project

was actually hers.

Of course.

In any case,

this is all a formality.

If one can"t trust family,

who can one trust?

Here you go.

Thank you.

Okay, here we are.

Okay, Anita,

so we had to travel halfway
across the country,

because everything"s shut
for Carnival,

but I went to the distributor,

and I managed to get you
a caseload

of that frangipani soap
you love so much

so we can take it home with us.

Thank you.

Time to get ready
for a big, fat Indian Wedding.

Shall we go?

One last piece of business.

Are we going to include
this photo on the invites?

Say this is a lie.

This can"t be true.

You betrayed us?!

What is this?

At least we get a
great deal of out it

to ease the pain.

Deal? What deal?

What deal?

The land, the resort, the spa...

I"ve signed it all over to them.

Now, because of some
stupid fling,

we"ve lost everything.

You signed over everything?

Everything.

Even this house
and everything in it.

I"m finished

because of you.

Shame on you.

This... this is...

This is all... this is all wrong.

It"s okay.

Please.

It was just a lapse in judgment.

On my part.

The ring.

I hope you"re happy

when he has you dirt poor,

run to ruin in some
country shack.

Let"s go, Nikhil.

Um, phone, please.

You"ve ruined everything.

Technically, you did

by being a lying whore.

Do you know why
I never went out with you?

Despite the begging,
pleading, weeping phone calls?

That was nothing.

It was just a stupid
little crush.

You have been stalking,

creeping, digging around.

What for?

Are you happy now?

Yes, actually.

That"s interesting

"cause you're the only one
in your family

who can"t build anything.

You earn points.

You pay people
to be your friends

and they still hate you.

Everyone around you
despises you.

Why is that, Nikhil?

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Excuse me.

Give me the strongest thing
you"ve got.

Make it a double.

It"ll work out.

Somehow, they"ll work it out.

You know your dad
always finds a way.

Yeah, I guess not.

But at least now you can go

after the person
you really love.

That"s the important thing.

Right?

Yeah.

That"s the important thing.

Your phone?

Blend it.

What?

Put this phone in that blender

and make me a drink.
Please.

Serious?

Partner, you riding with me.

I"m not waiting an extra day

because of him.

We need to check in right now.

Come on, we can"t leave him.

It"s just not like him.

He"s never been late
for a flight in his life.

Oh, my God.

Well, he certainly knows
how to make up

for lost time.

You can"t do this.

This is honest black man work.

I only said that
because we needed to stop

and I didn"t know
what else to say.

I didn"t mean it!

So, what parts did you mean?

And what parts was bullshit?

Nothing was bullshit.

You can"t stop your music.

Oh, so you want me to smile

with white bright teeth?

And play happy steel drum
for your rich friends?

I want the opposite
and you know that.

And what Anita wants,
Anita gets, right?

What I want?

I only wanted to help my father

and ended up making him
lose everything.

His house, his dreams his money,

it"s all gone.
That"s what I got.

You got nothing?

Well, at least one thing
turned out right.

Mmm-hmmm.

Amazon?
Yes.

Venues by licensed people?

Fancy lights he wanted.

Hi.

Hi.
Hi.

Just give me one minute.

Hey, look, last time
you walked in,

I lost my job.

I lost my artist.

I lost my friend.

What happened?

Why isn"t he performing?

You"re asking me

why he"s not performing?

I mean, you...

Hold on.

Yeah, Mark.

Yes, of course, we still
want the lights.

Just not the ones that
break down

after the first set.

Yeah, LED lights.

Moving heads.

Yeah, all right, okay, thanks.

LED.

Expensive ones.

Expensive ones.

And up the budget.

Higher up the budget.
Higher.

Higher... no, wait.

You know, the ones with
the turning heads.

But the moving hea...

Stop touching things.

I don"t want your bad juju.

Not you, Mark.

Okay.

Great, thanks.

We have to get him back
in the game.

We don"t.

We have a show to do.

You can take your
bad lucky self and

go home.

Look, we"re very busy here.

Please.

The lights?

Budget.

What about his grandmother?

He"d listen to her.

He would...
if she were alive.

Look, Lee, the body dead.

And there"s no one
that can change that.

Not even me.

Okay, thanks.

Hmmm, that was sudden.

Lee grandmother dying.

Share my condolences.

I have two words for you.

"Night out."

Jas, that is not
my thing anymore.

Come on, it"s been four months.

Maybe when Poorvi
gets back for Carnival.

You haven"t even looked
at the invite.

You"ve got to be kidding.

You"re inviting me to the
Club Caribe groundbreaking?

They hired me to do their PR.

And I need help.

And you"re the person
that I want.

Well, I"m not working
for the corporate demons

the Kumars sold us out to.

Well, forget them.

Come to get back in the game.

Meet people.

Stop wasting all your incredible
conversational skills

on plants.

You know,

you should go.

Otherwise, they"ll think
they"ve won.

They did win.

Really?

What do you really miss?

The gardens? The servants?

Two big dining tables?

Hmmm? What?

I know, you miss... the boy.

I did this awful thing, Papa,

and...

it can never be undone.

Nothing can be undone
making sandwiches for your papa.

It doesn"t really matter
who"s gonna be there.

What do you have to lose?

You, too?

You guys need to stop.

What, you"re gonna sit
and suffer?

I deserve it.

For putting your father first?

For putting me and Partiv first?

Making us happier

than we ever thought
we could be?

What about Bharat?

Bharat got caught up in a storm.

It happens.

I see him, he"s okay.

Are you?

After ruining two generations
of friendship?

Anita, still worrying
about everyone else, eh?

Look,

I"m in London, job of my life,

man who loves me,

and sometimes I feel
like it"s a dream.

But it didn"t just happen.
You made that happen.

You did it.

Now go and do something
for yourself now.

It"s not that simple.

Just think about it, okay?

Hey.

Got your "message."

Couldn"t argue with that.

Hello.

Listen, that was
pretty sneaky of you.

It"s called "determined."

Okay, then.

Well, for the second time,

thanks for getting me
back into music.

I just wanted to say that.

I would do it a
thousand times if I had to.

I"ll always do it.

I believe in you.

Listen, I just...

Don"t.

Don"t say anything.

Yeah, I was never that good
with words anyway.

If I wanna say something
I"ll say it...

With a song.

Exactly.

Okay.

Anita.

Anita.

What are you doing here?

I came to a groundbreaking.

Nikhil, I feel bad enough.

I don"t need this humiliation.

Anita, wait.

Just, Bharat...

Just listen to me
for Bharat"s sake.

You said things
to me that no one

has ever said.

You asked me if I was happy.

I wasn"t.

Look, it wasn"t easy,
but I persuaded my dad

to buy out Club Caribe and

just so that we could partner
with its rightful owners.

So, how"s about this:

Your papa"s resort,
as run by me and you,

but we have to be honest
with each other.

Fifty-fifty all the way.

Why should I trust you?

Everyone makes mistakes.

Cheer up.

At least for the party.

All your friends are here.

I don"t understand.

Haha!

What a wonderful happening!

Papa, this is amazing!

Amazing? It"s terrible!

How can we have a party
without music?

The kind of music that you love!

Hey, you!

Come here!
