I'm calling from flat no. 401

Take down my order, please

A bottle of Jhonnie walker..

One bottrle of old monk rum...

One bottrle of teachers whiskey

And..

Do you have wine?

And some white wine..

Three bottle white wine..

Add two bottle of red wine

any cheap indian wine will do..



And..

- Yeah?
- Can I talk to you..?

why don't you call and tell them?

Why are you bothering me?

I've placed such a big order..

Thank you..
Yes, tell me

- I wanted to talk to you..
- I'm listening..

- Not like this.. can't we sit and talk?
- Don't waste my time.. Who are you?

- My name is Raghav..
- Raghav?

Raghav..

Have we met before?

No.. but you kind of know me.

I am your blood relation

How are we related by blood?



Raghav doesn't ring a bell?

I am Chhaya's husband.

That might be a better
introduction for you

Now can we talk?

What do you want to talk about?

Do you want to do it here?
It might be better inside..

Please come in

Thank you

I've been wanting to
meet you for some time..

But something or the
other comes up..

Some office chore or the other

Domestic life..

.. and its problems

Its never easy..

How long have you been married?

Eight.. eight years

Your wife is not at home?

She has gone out.
But she'll be back any minute, so..

I wont take too much of your time

Actually I just came
to see you out of curiousity

If your wife..

How to put it delicately,
likes somebody..

one gets curious- who is this guy,
what does he look like?

Please don't fret- shit happens but
we are grown ups, we can deal with it

I haven't come here to fight with you

I have just come to
make peace with myself..

Nothing else

Raghav..

I really don't know
what to say to you..

I'll tell you what to say.

You should ask me if I want some tea.
I'd say, 'yes', and then we'll have some tea

- Tea?
- Tea..

- Would you like some tea?
- Yes please

Sure.. Just give me a minute

Sure...

Just wait...

Let me tell you something about me.

I am a very philosophical man..
spiritual

Anger, jealousy..

..these are all negative emotions-
worthless.

I have denounced them.

Careful, its hot..

Have you read this book?

No, not yet..

You must. Its a good one..

Nice tea

From Assam..
Its' supposed to be very calming

How long have you been at it?

6- 7 months

6 or 7?

- In the beginning, it wasn't..
- serious..

When did it get really serious?

About 4 months..

July

We had just returned
from our vacation.

Where did you guys do it?

Do what?

Do what? Sex, fornication,
making love, fucking..

What is there to understand?

Calm down, Raghav, calm down!

One thinks that one is
the master of his emotions-

but the emotions control you..

Where did you guys fuck?

Raghav, I don't think this is..

Is it inappropriate?
Am I making you feel awkward?

Am I being a nuisance?

My wife will come any minute now..

Why don't I come and
see you another time?

You don't want me to meet your wife?
That wouldn't be proper, right?

Come on Raghav, you said we can
deal with this like adults

You are bang on.
Lets deal with this like adults

That'll be the best

Raghav please..
Calm down, please..

Try and understand..

I am calm. You are the
one who does not understand.

Why would I take revenge on you?

My wife has cheated on me- not you.

I am not married to you.

If we were friends, it would be betrayal-
but you are not my friend either.

You are answerable
to your wife- not to me..

Raghav, please believe me,
its over between me and Chhaya

I know that. I know its over.

There, hold this.
I have spent a lot of money on this

But money is not everything, right?

- No, no..
- Then answer me

Where did you guys fuck?

At the office..

and sometimes on the tour..

- Did anybody else know about it?
- No, no, no.. we were very discreet?

No body knows..

And how was it?

How was the sex?

- It was.. it was
- It was what?

Good.. it was good..

It was good..?

Raghav, please understand..

it didn't mean anything.
It was just sex

It was just sex

- What?
- No, I didn't mean that

- What?
- I mean..

What do you mean it was just sex?

You could have said
a hundred things-

what do you mean
it was nothing, just for sex?

How is that supposed to make
me feel better? Have you lost it?

You could have said something else

How do you think it's
going to make me feel better?

Do you have any idea
how much this hurts man?

She is my WIFE. I love her.

Atleast you could have loved her.
She is my wife

She is my WIFE. I love her.

Do you know how much this hurts?

What kind of a man are you!
You buy books but you don't read them.

Screw it all!

Sunil..

Sunil

Why don't you pick the phone?
I was trying to call you!!

You wont believe what happened

That flower seller I go to,
they broke his little shop

Poor guy.. where will he go?

These flowers are so pretty, right?

These cops, I tell you
I parked the car for 10 minutes..

and they towed it away

Can you imagine?

Left it for 10 mintues...
and it was gone

Then?

Then I took a cab and got the car back,
otherwise you'd have sulked

Are you okay?

What happened, Sunil?

What happened?

Malti you know I love you, right?

You know I love you no matter what!

Yeah Sunil, what happened?

Promise me you wont freak out

- You are freaking me out now
- Promise me..

- Okay.. will you tell me now?
- Some shit has happened..

What?

Who is he?

Did you know him?

- Is he..?
- He's dead

Did you?

Not I.. He killed himself

What are you saying Sunil?

Some random guy walks
in here and kills himself?

Did you know him?

He is Anand, from my office.
I fired him last week

He came in today, said he was depressed,
I thought he just wanted to talk..

But he had a gun.. he just..

- Sunil you are not lying to me, are you?
- Malti, please..

Don't start this now, okay?

Why did you fire
him if he was depressed?

I didn't fire him because he was depressed,
he got depressed because I fired him.

Why did he come into the bedroom?

I got him into the bedroom, later..
Come here, I'll show you

See this.
It happenned right here

I was sitting over here.
At first I thought..

We have to call the police

Don't be mad- we can't
call the police. I am involved

There is a dead man in our house,
we haven't done anything!

They will never understand that.

He is in our house.
And he is dead.

So what do you want to do?
Nothing?

Let me think.. maybe we can call
somebody. Somebody who can help us.

They are here

Send them away.. tell them
its cancelled. I can't breathe..

Go inside.. let me handle this

Hold on.
Go inside

Please open the door.
This gift is so heavy

- What have you got?
- I don't know.. some dry fruits..

Some dry fruit?
You don't know what you got for them?

Whatever!

Malti, open up- I need to pee

- Are you going to tell the whole building?
- I don't care

What took you so long?

- Hello.. Am I invited or not?
- Yes..

Happy Diwali

- Mama, get me some water.
- Get it yourself

Please tell me you guys
have ordered chilled beers

Or should I order?

No, Sunil has called for some

- Where is Sunil?
- He is in there.

I'll go check on him..

- Had water?
- Yes

Malti I didn't get those fancy lamps
so I just got the normal ones.

- Where did she go?
- She's gone to check up on Sunil

Check up, hunh?

I guess afternoons
are still the best..

- For what mama?
- For wifi..

- Hi Sunil..
- Hi guys.. Happy Diwali

You okay?

No, he is not feeling too good today

Completely under the weather..

Did you take any medicines?

Lets cancel it..

- He is not warm..
- No but he is really under the weather

Oh you cuties..
Hold that, let me take a picture..

Smile a litte..

Crazy traffic today..

Help me with this.

You are looking very nice

Takes a lot of hard work, okay?

- Shall I keep it in the freezer?
- Not the freezer

Happy Diwali, Mister master chef

Why such a sad happy diwali?

- He wants to cancel the party
- Are you mad?

I have got 5 kilo of mutton.

So many goats have given up their lives,
and you want to cancel the plan!

Just one goat!

How selfish are you!
What about her partner?

He must be all alone now, suffering

..and their 18 kids
who are now orphaned!

And his parents, his siblings?
Give them a thought!

How much you talk, Joshi..

If you really pity them,
turn vegetarian

What's with you?
Do you have fever? Stomach ache?

- Throat?
- Are you a doctor?

- He is fine!
- He's shivering.. it could be malaria

Malaria is not contagious

Lets do it another time,
maybe this Sunday.

You can't cancel it right now

Today is Diwali- not Sunday

All morning he was asking
me what time I'd reach.

Can't cancel..
I have invited a very special guest

- Who is your guest?
- Will tell you.

These online apps have
solved all my intimacy issues

What are you on?

mixer, blender, grinder,
I'm on all of them

What is with Joshi?
Cackling all the time

Does it look like he has
just come out of a broken marriage?

- Stop judging people..
- I will, I'm sorry- he is just so shallow

Alka, you know somebody
in the police, right?

Yes, what happened?

There's been an
accident on the highway

- You had an accident?
- No, a colleague at work.

It wasn't his fault really..

Nobody admits their mistakes

If somebody just jumps
in front of your car?

- Listen is this blouse very tight?
- Let me check..

- How bad was it?
- Don't know.. He didn't stop

So now, should one
report it to the police?

Are you mad? No way..
This is a hit and run case.

If the man is badly injured,

then this guy will be going
to the cops for the next 15 years..

and if he died..
then your friend is done in!

That's what I thought

- But this is not right.
- Right for who?

You don't go out looking for trouble!

What would you have done?

I would have done something..

That is what we all think-
I'd have done something.

But when the moment arrives,
your brain shuts down

- You're such a cynic..
- I am a realist!

So tell me..

Whatever is on your mind..

- I fucked up big time..
- I know that. What happened?

An affair

You are such an idiot.

Why would you do that?
Everything is going well for you.

Who is it?

- Somebody..
- Call if off, right away

- Its done
- Not a word about it now.

Whatever you do- just don't
tell anyone. Especially me

Don't sulk now.

What is the worst that
could happen- divorce.. Its okay.

That is the worst, right?

The only problem is, where would we go
for the party next year- yours or Malti's

Ah, the goddesses
descend on this earth

Joshi, don't sing..
how is the mutton doing?

Takes time to marienate it

Go take a shower- you'll feel better

How is it that I love
you more everyday, butterfly?

Aww so cute..
Look at you two

There is no romance left in my life!!

Nobody calls me butterfly..

What is this butterfly nonsense?

This is his new word for me,
for the past 3 months

I guess they're getting romantic
in their old age..

Yeah, we try..

Am I the only one
drinking at this party?

You guys go, party.
Don't mind me. I'll slave on..

How much you complain, Joshi!

Dhruva, get me one more beer

Submitting my son to child labour!

Stop pretending..

He's still in the shower?

Let him have a shower in peace..

We work as the master takes a shower.
Such a chauvinist!

- Happy Diwali
- Happy Diwali

How are you?

- You're looking beautiful
- wish them..

Happy Diwali, Sheetal

Happy Diwali Joshi

What are you so happy for?

Greetings!

- Where is Sunil?
- He is in the shower

He's been in the shower for an hour!

Call him- I have some news to share

- What is Rahul's news?
- He is dying to show off. Please don't ask..

Sunil.. are you okay?

Is he okay?

Sunil, hurry up-
Rahul has some great news

Is everything okay?

- You think he's fainted?
- I can hear the water running..

- Paro?
- He said he had the shivers..

Sunil say something

Break the bloody door

Sunil, Rahul has reallly good news,
come out!

I have more than good news

Sunil, come on out, man..

- No option but to break open the door.
- Do it guys, break it open

Stop these attention
seeking tactics Sunil..

Sunil, say something

- Is he fine?
- I don't know..

he had the shivers and all earlier..

- Happy Diwali
- Happy Diwali

- He is out finally
- You're okay?

- Can't a man shower in peace?
- For so long?

- We were going to call for the fire brigade.
- Water pressure was too low..

I don't know how you deal with him.
He is worse than Dhruva

What is the noise about?

- Can I tell you my good news now?
- Yes please..

We've been waiting for you

My book is finally getting published

He is dying to show off

That is great news Rahul

This is the happiest Diwali ever

Have some sweet.. have it

Happiest Diwali ever!

- So proud of you Rahul..
- I'll change and come

- Where are you going?
- I'll change and come

- It's a bit much..
- Kids, some sweet?

- Who is the publisher?
- It's a new publisher

How many drafts, Rahul?

4 drafts, after that
looking for a publisher.

That took the longest time.

- When did this happen?
- Three days back.

But I thought I should
wait till diwali to tell you all

- What is the title of your book?
- WHAT IS DONE IS DONE

- It can not be undone..
- No no, not that far..

That's a friend

- Cheers to Rahul..
- He knows what I need

Rahul it takes a lot of
courage to give up a good job

Why, most writers have a day job

Even I have an announcement to make.
My name is not Joshi anymore- it is Sagar

- But your name has always been Sagar
- But you all call me Joshi

Stop it Joshi!

What happened?

Dhruva got burnt

Every Diwali there's an accident

How did it happen?

- I didn't do anything, it was an accident.
- You have to be more careful

I told you to go down and play

- Its okay, he'll be fine
- What do you mean its okay?

He's getting a blister

- Malti do you have an ointment
- Yes getting it.

He's such a brave boy- not even crying

- Let him cry if he wants to!
- But mama, I don't feel like crying..

But you have to!
Cry, whether or not you feel like it

Really, it takes a
village to raise a child..

Earlier we used to
live in joint families..

What are you trying to say?
That I'm not capable?

I'm not saying that..

But you are implying that
single mothers are not good enough

I raised him up myself-
there was no bloody village

- Paro, your courage is admirable
- What does it have to do with courage?

Its a matter of choice

I don't need to prove to
anybody that I'm a good mother

Exactly! You are a good mother

- I have made mutton for you all..
- Joshi, there is a time to joke..

- Vivan just say sorry to Dhruva
- But I didn't..

And no more fireworks now.

Why is she over reacting?

Okay fine, Joshi- say sorry to Paro

- For what?
- Just say sorry

And don't treat me like a victim.

You are a brilliant mother, Paro

I didn't plan on being a single mom, okay?

It just happened,
I'm trying to do the best I can

Come Joshi, lets check on the mutton

- He didn't mean it..
- Paro, seriously sorry

- Does everything have to be a joke?
- Let it go, Paro..

Whatever..

He didn't mean it

- Happy Diwali
- Happy Diwali

Happy Diwali..
Does anyone have 200 rupees? 200..?

Sunil get my wallet

Happy Diwali, Malti

What the hell is this?

They give the most bizarre
gifts at these corporate events

And you are trying to pass it on?

- Don't you like it?
- No

Sir.. this is for you. Happy Diwali

No, you must not refuse

- My fare?
- Wait.. I'm getting it

- Hi
- Hello.. You look wow

He is mad, I can't believe
he gave it to the cab driver

Take off your shoes please.

I'm not going to leave them outside-
they are very expensive shoes..

Besides, I don't trust any of you

- Not even me?
- Except Alka.

Give him the news

Breaking news-
Rahul's book is being published

After four years of struggle!

He was busy writing,
WE were the ones struggling

Come on Sheetal,
give the poor guy a break

Listen, I love him but the truth is
that we were struggling

Come on Sheetal,
lay off the poor man for once

- No no, this man is a hero.
- There he goes again.

He is the only one who
asked the universe correctly.

Sir, the universe is like your cook

Really.. This is a fact!

Every morning the cook asks you,
'Sir what shall I serve you today?'

And what do you say? 'Anything..'

That is why you are served veggies!

You have to be specific boss!

You have to say,
'No, I want mutton curry. Boneless.

With some onions
dipped in vinegar..

And for dessert- some kulfi..

And you shall receive

- Sunil
- That's all it takes? just ask?

You have to go shop
for the ingredients

I must tell you, the cook took
a long time getting the right order

The cook has many other
orders to look into..

Come on, show some money.
My husband doesn't give free advice

What are we going
to do with him Sunil?

I don't know.
We'll see tomorrow

- Yeah but where?
- I can't think straight right now.

We'll leave him on the terrace

Can't do that.
They put a lock on the terrace

What? Since when?

It was decided in
the last society meeting

This housing society is the pits

Why would they ruin it for everybody?

The terrace is for everybody.

- We'll leave this house
- Tomorrow morning?

No- but we won't renew
the lease next time

This house is inauspicious

You know we've been going
for couples counselling

These counsellors don't know a thing

We used to start
fighting in his office

Once we were so loud, another
couple ran away from the waiting room

The counsellor said, 'please leave.
I can't manage you guys'

Really. He said,
'your wife knows everything'

Yeah right, blame it on her

- It takes two to navigate, Joshi
- Call me Sagar!

What is this name change business?
Sagar doesn't sound like you

Sounds like a cheap food joint

And why would you change your name?

Why not?

If you can change the names of cities,
why can't a man change his name?

And then Sagar IS my name I am not
saying call me Arnold Shwarzeneggar

What has changed?
I still call VT by its old name..

Shh.. Have you reached?

Do you see a.. coconut tree?

Stay there,
I'm coming- don't helter skelter

How will you manage French, Joshi?

- Alka, keep stirring it
- You'll get burnt..

Unbelievable, you really are my hero.

Through all the hurt and humiliation,
you ploughed through.

- That's conviction. That is success.
- Thank you

You never gave up.

You never reacted to the fact-
my wife doesn't believe in me.

Are my friends laughing?

Is my book even good.
Am I even a writer? No!

You stuck with it boss

That is conviction.. Cheers

Who is the publisher?

Its a new company..
moonfool publications

And.. how many copies?

In the first run- 3000

3000? That is all?

It's a start

3000 is too little

What is done is done- just 3000?

It's a start, Yogesh!

Too late, too little. I told you,
Rahul- you must have a vision board.

You look into the mirror every
morning and say, 'Boss I want success'

You want a Bentley, you imagine
yourself driving that Bentley.

- You must smell the leather
- I dont want a Bentley, ok?

No, whatever car you like,
that's not the point

You are scared of your own success

- You are scared of it
- Okay

But never mind, in this
loss also there is an opportunity

This is a loss?
This is the happiest day of my life

This is a loss?

3000 is too little..
I have an idea..

Hear me out.. Focus

How much does each copy cost?

About 300..

Okay, arrange 900,000 rupees
from somewhere.

When the book releases..

.. that month,
quietly buy out all the copies

- Are you mad?
- Everybody is doing it Rahul

If I buy out all the copies,
who will read it then?

That is the game Rahul-
Its a sureshot success

The publishing house will be zapped.

And the public will be like,
'oh he is successful...

we want to be part of that'

No, thanks..
My book will sell on its own merit

Merit? Where will 3000 reach on merit?

It's cool. Somebody will read it-
if not now, then after I die..

See, if somebody has to be found,
he'll be found

To be found? How sweet!
Are you oil?

If you are not oil, sir-
nobody is looking for you!

You must find yourself!
For 900,000 you will find yourself!

- You'll become a millionaire
- No thank you, let me just do it my way

Okay done.
No problem.

But I am happy for you. Cheers..

So what is the story?

You read the book

Tell me a little..

Please, Rahul..

Well its our story..

What do you mean its our story?
Its your story. How is it ours?

Yeah.. but it is
the story of all of us

We are all a part of your book?

- I'm also in the book?
- Yes

- I'm in the book?
- Yes

What's my name?

Anand. Anand.. nice.
So what does Anand do?

Anand is a motivational speaker..
and a part time priest

Part time priest.. nice

So what happens to Anand?

- Should I tell you?
- Yes please, this is exciting

Well, about two thirds
into the film.. No, book!

No, this is good!

See, subconcious wants it.

Now you're projecting Rahul- film,
TV series, success..

It's a book

So about two thirds into the book..

Anand kills himself

Because he realises that..

behind all the facade,
the empty words, there is nothing..

Its just emptiness..

There's no real person there,
you see..

This is a really fucked up idea..

Read the book first..
don't judge it yet

Really I'm quite amazed at you Rahul..

For 4 years, there is a myth about Rahul
writing a book, behind closed doors...

and you go and write
about your friends?

Its not about..

A man can only write about
what he knows- and I know you guys

There is a thing called imagination.
Murakami isn't writing about his day.

Rumi never said,
I woke up and had breakfast-

Toast was burnt,
what is this shit?

- Have you read Murakami?
- Why should I read it?

One doesn't become Murakami
merely by reading Murakami

- This is ridiculous..
- Why are you arguing about this?

I have built an empire. You are saying
I'm committing suicide. I'm depressed

When have I looked depressed to you?
I'm super happy

Its not YOU!

Fine, you should
remove me from the book

- Remove you from the book?
- I could sue you

Its going to be published
in three weeks..

I could completely sue you.
I'll sue you

I'll sue you, I'll sue you.
Boss what are you talking about?

I'm not dying.
I can't die. I'll sue you

Yogesh have you lost it?

OR, I'll sue you

Rahul I've got a great idea.
Just watch this..

I'll sue you.
Your book will be in trouble.

If you are lucky
it might even get banned

- Then people will really want to read it
- Yogesh I don't want your help!

- It's brilliant
- I don't want your help

You're scared of your success Rahul

- You're scared of your own potential
- I'll ask you if I need your help..

Enough!

- This is not your house?
- No, its a friend's house

- But that's not okay?
- No no it's okay

No.. I feel.. comment dire.. awkward

No need to be awkward.
They are like my family

- See this?
- Very beautiful

This is Rangoli

Today is Diwali. So doors
are kept open for Goddess Lakshmi..

Charming..

Shoes!

You like my shoes?

Very nice.. France?

Everybody,
here is my friend, Francoise Marie

Hello!
Happy Diwali..

This is Malti, that is Sunil-
Its their house actually

Well done Joshi

- Here's some wine
- She is so sweet

- Thank you for inviting me
- Of course, anytime

She has come with her shoes on..

Shoes..

Sorry, what about my shoes?

You have to take them off

I didn't tell you- in Indian
homes you have to take off your shoes.

You can sit and do it

Don't worry- she'll manage..

She seems uneducated

- It's okay..
- Her heels are so long

She'll manage

Go and put on your shoes

I got it on camera

Shit!

- The party just started
- Everything happens for a reason

This was your favourite
Vietnamese vase, right?

Sunil, go get a mop!

- I am really sorry guys
- It's okay..

Malti I'll get you a new one..

Maybe it's better I get out of here..

Get some flour..

- Hi I am Alka
- Alka, Francoise Marie

Yogesh

Calm down!

It was just an accident. So..

Calm down Alka!

I will put it back together

I don't want a broken vase

Nothing is broken..

Or else, everything is broken-
Perspective!

Everything happens for a reason

After I put it back together,
it'll be better than before.

Paro, its broken!

I am so sorry,
are you going to drink something?

I'd like a glass of red wine

- I'll get it
- Joshi sit down.

Baby get her a glass of red wine
and get me a beer please

No drinks for you,
you've had too many.

Guys relax!
No one died, it's a party

Are you switching
on the air conditioning?

There is a stench- can't you smell it?

The whole city is stinking-
either its garbage or piss

Why do you have to be disgusting?

Its just a word-
why is the word disagreeable?

- It sounds so down market, cheap.
- It's just a word

Sir, words also need branding

You guys are illiterate.
This is how they say it in Persian.

Persian used to be the language
of highly educated people

He is a great great author, our friend

His book is getting published

Please don't let it get to his head.

Can you just let him
enjoy his moment for once

- Listen it's not yet been published
- It will, very soon..

- She is saying, congratulations.
- I heard her, idiot!

So Francoise..

Francoise Marie

Marie.. I have a question.

I often notice the French people,

sometimes they kiss twice,
sometimes three times..

Yeah it's confusing

Baby, why do you care
what the French people do?

Quiet.. Its such
an interesting question

Oh its actually very confusing
In Paris we kiss two times

in the South, it's three times..

and sometimes in
Montpellier it is four times

No- that is not what I'm asking.
Why three times, what is the logic?

Perhaps in the confusion
we are hoping for an accident..

where the lips are meeting

I love France

- Joshi, stop drooling all over her
- Have you ever been to France?

No, never!

He doesn't have a passport

Sir here's your parcel

What is this smell?
Is it stale food?

No sir, its fresh

Fresh, my ass! smell it..

Its fresh sir..

Crap! Give me the bill

- Happy diwali, sir..
- What is happy about it?

Do I look happy?

Sunil

Hey Kaizaad

- Happy Diwali
- Happy Diwali, so nice to see you man

- Thanks for coming
- Thank you for having me

- Malti see who is here
- Coming

- Where is everybody else
- There are strolling in

- Happy Diwali
- Happy Diwali, please come.

Joshi, I feel this house
has a bad aura..

What?

Aura.. you know, energy.
I feel it very strong

- Hello beautiful, you like it?
- It's gorgeous

Come guys, come in

Happy Diwali.
Please come, come..

- Take the shoes off?
- Yeah, shoes right here..

She is my most dependable
source of alcohol in the house

Sorry, sorry carry on

- Make yourself comfortable.
- Sure I will

What are you drinking? No whiskey, no rum..?
Are you okay?

Excuse me,
can I just talk to him for a minute.

Don't be alarmed, nothing serious

Listen, the book launch is
in three weeks. You have to be there

Of course I will..

Can I tell you something more soppy?

I could not imagine a better
celebration for my big day.

This is the happiest day of my life

- We all love you, man.
- This is the happiest day of my life

And listen,
I'll do anything for you..

- Where you going?
- I am right here.

- I think Kaizaad is looking for you.
- For me?

Happy Diwali, Sunil sir..

Why have you come here?

Chhaya, think a little

Did you think?

Are you always careful?

By the way I am very touched.
You chose to wear this shirt tonight

Does Malti know I gave it to you?

No? Shall I tell her then?

Its not funny

Relax, I am not an idiot

He knows

She doesn't

Not her, Raghav.
Raghav, my husband- he knows

So then..?

Nothing. He has been completely
quiet for two days. Not a word..

And now I can't trace him

- Where has he gone?
- I don't know.

He is not answering his phone.
I've been trying to call him

I'm getting really worried now

You should go home. Today is diwali.
He'll return home eventually

- You are not listening to me. He knows!
- I heard you. You told me already

Look, just go home, Chhaya, okay?

He'll come back there

That is all you can think about.

Go home, leave. Why are you here?
Get out of my party

Hold this

- Read this
- What is it?

He left it on the fridge. Read it

- Francoise, this is for you
- Thank you

Sunil, come inside

- Hello
- Hi

Who was that?
You didn't introduce us

Joshi you are really
too much sometimes

- Why not? I am a free bird
- But she is not

She is married, that too happily

Marriages are not forever.
One must think of future investment

Every time you open your mouth,
some filth comes out

- What is filthy about this?
- Is everything okay?

Yes, he owes him some money

You have a date with you,
and you are eyeing somebody else.

That is the kind of filth you are..

He'll give you your money back buddy

Sunil, are you alright?

Crap! Why did everyone
have to come today?

You invited us today.
Today is Diwali

Go celebrate diwali then..

Bad aura

I feel it, its here

Is this the right house?

Their names are written there.

- Malti!
- Uncle is that you?

Take it off.
How will she recognise you?

You didn't inform us
that you were coming

Well you didn't inform
us about the party.

We were in your city,
thought we'd drop in

I told him to call you
but he wanted it to be a surprise

Malti, there's no vodka

Hello.. recognise me?
I am your wife's uncle!

Gave you a Japanese tea set
for your wedding

- He is not her husband
- No?

He forgets faces now a days-
one day he'll forget me too

- Happy Diwali
- Happy Diwali

He is the one? Are you sure?
Why are you looking so pensive?

Many happy returns of the day..

Gave you the japanese tea set
for your wedding, remember?

Will you give her the sweets or no?

Thank you..
please come in

- Are there many people inside?
- Do you want to count them from here?

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine

- Come here boy- what is your name?
- Dhruva

Uncle this is not my son
Paro- come here.. He is her son

I am just saying that
he has grown so tall

- Where is yours?
- We don't have a child

'Nothing is amiss Chhaya,
nothing has changed'

'I think to myself every morning
that today I will fight with you'

'But I don't have any anger towards you'

'You are still the same for me.
But what was between us, has changed'

'And that absence bothers me.
I can't live with these lies'

'Just remember, it wasn't your fault'

'Its not you- Its me. I am an idiot.
Yours, Raghu'

- Are you a non vegetarian?
- I am a vegetarian

Would you like to have some soup?
I'll make it for you

Are you guys doing okay?
Can I get you another drink?

No I have a drink

How long have you been
working with Sunil?

Its been a year

Really? I have never met you before

Yeah, I guess it never worked out

Are you from here?

I am from Ahmedabad- but
after marriage I shifted here.

Where do you stay in Bombay?

- Versova
- Oh I live in Thane

He lives very far

What's your name again?
Sorry.. excuse me

Just give me a minute

- Sagar
- Hi, Chhaya

Are you on facebook?

I am on facebook,
I don't use it that much

Now as fast as you can,
with instinct..

..you must tell which card
is red and which one is black

Okay okay black sorry

And now I want to do the opposite

Magic is not over.
Why are you clapping?

If everything go well this
will be all red and then all black

Yogesh, if he has done a good job..

It will be all red and all black,
am I correct?

It will be, it has to be..

Power to us..

This one will be opposite

- Can I give her a kiss?
- Please, please..

Shouldn't have had those shots guys..

Why do you mix your drinks?

Rahul, have you met my uncle and aunt?

Hello Sir. Rahul

Take his autograph. Next time
you come here, he will be a celebrity

Are you on television?

He is a big author.
His book is getting published

- What have you written?
- I have written a novel

What's the story?

I can't tell the story in
a few words.. Its a book in Hindi

I know Hindi. Tell me

Why are you wearing that mask?

Actually, my nose is very sharp-

like a dog's

I get all kinds of distant smell

And all kinds of diseases- malaria,
dengue, chicken gunia

How can I get chicken gunia
when I don't even eat chicken

She is going senile.

She wears the mask all day-
goes to sleep with it. Wont let me kiss her

Are you going to kiss me at this age?

There is no age for kissing.
Didn't I marry you?

- And I kissed you then
- There were no germs then?

Our metabolism was strong then..

I have found a new character

Take a bite sir, its good food.

Good food man.
Have a bite

Aren't we going to play cards?

What are you doing?

- Its smelling
- Mine is not smelling, sir, mine is fine

Its rotting.
Everybody will fall sick

What are you doing Sunil?
My mutton.

- Its gone bad
- Its not! Took me five hours to cook

Hold this

Are you mad?
people are hungry..

Sir this is good- this we ordered in

We'll order more

- Sir it's very late now.
- You guys have no values

Sunil, the watchman is calling you..
what's going on?

Everybody is eating rotten food

- Threw away all the food?
- All of it

- All of it?
- There is some rice left

Somebody has parked
a car in Asif's parking

- Nobody here
- Sir, he came to your flat..

Guys.. has anyone
come in a Swift Desire?

Guys.. has anyone
come in a Swift Desire?

- Is it yours?
- We took an Uber

- Nobody here
- He came to your flat..

Been here since the afternoon

- Go play outside please
- wait, in a minute

Right now. Move

Move out.
I have some work

Sorry, Asif saheb..

- Sir happy Diwali
- Bugger off

There is no food?

Are the children
supposed to sleep hungry?

- I'll make some noodles..
- What crap! Its supposed to be diwali.

She is always in a foul mood

There are eggs, noodles..

Clearly the counselling is not working

- I am doing all the work guys, come on.
- This box is so heavy

What is in this trunk?

What are you doing?
Why did you get this out? Malti!

Why have you get this out?

What are you doing?

We are setting up a casino-
to play cards

Your uncle had a knee surgery,
he can't sit down

- We'll get something else
- This will do fine.. move

- Why this?
- Why not this?

Let's get started..

Sunil, its okay

Who the hell are these people?

They are our friends

I feel like I don't know any of them

- Will you let me play in peace?
- Don't play blind

Aren't you playing?

What are the chances I'd win today?

You never know

- Don't touch my cards
- Why, they'll change?

You always spoil my game..

Do you want to play?
come join us..

Relationship goals..
oh my god!!

You two look so cute together

Shall I take a picture? I'll whatsapp
it to you. hash tag togetherness

Sunil, still blind?

Blind!

Lucky you.
Beautiful home, beautiful wife

Beautiful mistress.

You are truly blessed

Worst cards possible

You are just unlucky in cards,
lucky in love

Look at me. I lose at cards
and you know how good is MY love life

What was I for you? A fling?

Answer her- she wants to know

- Why did you do it?
- Chhaya, why did YOU do it?

- I haven't done anything
- Really? nothing?

- Was it just me? Was it all my fault?
- I agree with him there

Its not just him. It takes two to..

What is that dance?
It takes two to..

It takes two to...

It takes two to...

TANGO

Tango..

I've got a sequence again. I win..

If you want to have kids,
there should be a test- an audition

You are unemployed.

Your wife is an alcoholic- you
shouldn't be allowed to be a parent!

- But who is going to decide?
- I don't know

So the government will decide
whether I'm fit enough to be a mother?

That's not what I am saying

- Are you in or out?
- Show me. I have folded, show me

I am so touched by your love

Tell me honestly,
how good was your tango?

Just fold!

Okay fold

She only listens to you

- I have a pair of fours
- You win, sir..

- I could have won, see?
- Why did you fold?

Shit happens, Chhaya

- Why did you make me fold?
- He could have had anything. It's risky..

- Sir, you have to take a little risk
- He is the champion of risk taking

I could have won!
You made me lose

I didn't force you. You have to take
responsibility for your own action

Sheetal, give me some money

- I'll return your money
- Sheetal, his book is getting published..

Ask her for a quickie. Look at her,
she is upset- it'll lift her mood

- You are responsible for my loss
- Suggest it to her

All you care about is you and
your happy domestic life

I have a request- can I watch? Please?
She is my wife. I should be allowed.

Please.. let me.
Ask her.. We can do a menage de trois

- Sheetal!
- Shut up!

What happened?

Why are you begging
for money all the time?

There, take this, play!

And this is for your loss, okay?
There, take this- play now

Calm down, Sunil! I don't
want your money, take it back..

- Guys please don't do this..
- I'd just started winning..

Why are you spoiling the game..

I am saying, have kids. One or two
is fine, but you can't have 6 kids!!

- But who is going to decide?
- Don't you see?

Yogesh, his highness will decide..

He has the authority on this..

- Now you are getting emotional about this.
- Of course I am. I am a mother..

Her taxi is waiting,
she came in to say goodbye

Yes I came to say bye..

- Bye..
- Good to meet you..

Malti did you see her magic?

Yeah, I saw some outside,
it's really good

She's an amazing magician..

No, I'm not a magician.
Actually I am a mentalist

What's that?

I see things.. I read minds.. yes

Wow, good..

Can you read my mind?

Yes..

Oh you want me tell everybody?

Are you sure?

You don't want him
to write another book

I'm sorry, you asked me,
I didn't mean to hurt you.

Nice! Do one more..

On you?
- No..

Why?

- Nothing to read or what?
- How about me?

Okay.. Do you have
a purse or a bag?

Put your hand inside-
pick something..

Its round, its pink,
its your lipstick

Another time.. Round again..

Its your glasses,
your spectacles

One more time..

Its round again.. An orange strap
Its a watch- your orange watch

Oh my god!

One more time.
Do her..

No!

That's enough magic for one night

Yes, you're right.
I have my taxi waiting..

Thank you for coming..

Yes.. And I'm very
sorry about the vase

That's okay.. good night

- You enjoy your night..
- She is going by the way..

- Are you leaving?
- Where are you going? Sit..

- Thank you very much for tonight..
- No, thank you for coming

Everything will be okay

What will be okay?

Everything..

Bye

I'll see her off

"Careful now..."

"these are trying times"

"Careful"

"of these blurring lines"

"What's gone.."

"is not coming back"

"And the present is
thick with uncertainty"

Did you take my 500 rupees?

Is that my money?

No it had drifted that side,
I took it back.

Keep it in your purse

This man is lying through his teeth

You are stealing 500?

Go on, play the game

Screw the game.
That is my 500 rupees

- That's my money..
- Just because you said so?

I saw you picking it up

Sunil, didn't you see him?

But I saw him.
The man is a bloody scoundrel

Hold it. Even I know how to abuse

Please take her away

- Here, take this.
- I don't want your shitty money.

I want my money

What's going on?

See, we come to your house
and this is the treatment we get

Hello, aunty,
did I say a thing to you?

Am I talking to you?
What did I say to you?

Don't entertain her..

Alka, let it go..
- I wont let it go.

He is a bloody cheat man,
he is a snake

Did you call me a snake?

Look at your self.
You can't even stand straight

You should not drink.
Its not for women to drink

I drink with my own money

There is a grace to drinking.
You can't do it

Are you going to teach me?
Then teach me how to steal money too

What do you say, writer man?

- Rahul, he is a thief..
- I'm in no position to comment

You just lost your money,
I am being abused!

You deserve to be abused

Just stop it.

Stop this bloody game

Screw this shit.
Its a crap bloody party

It was so good to see
you after so many years

Festivals bring the family together

When your father was alive,
he kept the whole family together

He was something else.. he was

Now the family has drifted apart

Keep this..

What is this?

It's auspicious.
You should never say no to this..

Its Diwali..
Tell him

Keep it.. Its the same 500 that
I picked from that drunk woman

Lets leave..

Nobody saw me do it

- It's already 3am..
- Yes let's leave

I've been saying
for the longest time..

- You are leaving?
- Yes, I think we should..

Thanks for coming man,
So nice to see you.

Nice to meet you..

Stay in touch

- Bye! nice meeting you..
- Bye, happy Diwali

Sorry man.. about the food
- But the whiskey was great

Just have a bite on your
way back if you find something

- I ate before coming here
- So sorry about this food situation

Don't worry, it's okay. Bye!

Do me a favour guys. Take out
the garbage bags on your way out..

Sunil, the garbage guy
will take it out in the morning

- Not good to let it be here all night
- Its okay, we'll take it out

We clean up after him
even at the office

- Bye guys, thanks..
- Bye

Thanks so much for taking the bags..

Thank you for tonight

- Happy Diwali
- To you too..

You have a lovely house

Goodnight.

Chhaya..

If I had a little more money,
I'd have won big time

- How much did you lose?
- 1800

Not bad..

If you had more money,
you'd have lost more

Fate is on my side..

- You would lose, ask me why?
- Why?

Because you play like a gambler.
For entertainment.

He doesn't play to win,
he plays for the excitement.

What's wrong with that?

- Because you're an optimist.
- How that a flaw?

He is so optimistic that he
can not see the truth of his cards

That's a good line sir,
for my next book..

Dont put me in it, okay?

That man who came
from your office today

Naresh?

Earlier in the day, Anand..

Let these guys go, we'll talk

You are so full of shit.

How can you even look me in the eye?

What have I done?

Can you stop pretending,
for one minute?

What happened?

Go on, tell your friends
what happened

Let them leave,
we can talk about this later..

Guys, I think all
of you should go home now

Nobody is going.. stay!

Malti..

Malti? Not butterfly?

I'm not your butterfly?

Call me butterfly Sunil, one more time.

- Call me butterfly..
- Malti

Call me butterfly! No!

What happened, Malti?

Yogesh, shut the door.

There is no need.

Am I being hysterical?
I'm absolutely fine

Malti?

You were so right Paro.
I should have listened to you

I shouldn't have trusted a man.
What's wrong with me?

Malti, whatever it is.. its going
to be okay, we'll sort it out.

Yes, its okay, you are right.
Its no big deal

Everything will be fine..

He's only been cheating
on me this entire time.

But that is okay.
It happens in all marriages

But what I can not believe, is that
you had the gall to call her to our house

You invited her to my party

I didn't invite her,
she came on her own.

I swear

Who?

Chhaya

- You said it's over?
- It's over

Malti I am sorry.. guys..

It happened

What do you mean it happened?

You had nothing to do with it?
It happened by itself?

Is there anything else I don't know?

Any other butterflies that
I don't know about? Tell me now..

Malti, I said I am sorry

Malti I know its hard..
but it will be okay

It's okay?

Yeah it's okay..

No I am not saying what
he did is okay. Its not.

He has broken your trust.
He has been selfish..

Selfish..

You have no idea
how selfish this man is.

Shall I tell them Sunil?

Sunil shall I tell them about the..?

- Actually let me show them
- Malti, don't!

- Malti are you nuts?
- This is how selfish this man is..

- What happened?
- There's a dead body in the house

He has killed a man,
and he has called all of you here

- Who is this?
- Chhaya's husband

I didn't kill him..

Its not true. I didn't kill him.

He found out. He came over,
and killed himself

You have to believe me.. Joshi

- Yogesh, you think I'd kill a man?
- I don't know

- Rahul..
- What have you gotten us into Sunil?

Tell me something Sunil,
there's a dead body in your house.

Didn't you think you should cancel the party?
Not once did it pass your mind?

- It was too late
- What do you mean it was too late?

Joshi had got 5 kilo
of mutton already..

- What?
- Mutton?

You could eat that mutton
for the next 10 days for all I care.

You got us all into this
shit because of Joshi's mutton?

- I didn't mean to..
- You did, you ass!

Malti you were absolutely right.

You are the most sick
and selfish man in the world

Last time you cancelled the party
because you had an upset stomach.

And now this?

- Guys it just happened..
- Just happened..There we go again.

Sunil!

You know what, screw you all man,
screw each one of you.

Screw you Sunil- and you, and you..

And you, you get up

We need to decide
what is to be done now?

Sheetal shut the door please.
And somebody call the police

- We can't call the police
- Why not, if you are innocent?

They will never believe me

What were you planning to do with it?
Live with it forever?

I thought once the party is over,
I'd think of something

But its good in a way
that all of you are here

Sorry, I am not a part of this.
Friendship is in one place- this is murder

Yogesh don't leave me, buddy.
You know people.

I'm not your undertaker

You bastard!
You bastard! I'll kill you..

You killed Raghav.
You know who Raghav is?

Chhaya's husband?
- To hell with Chhaya.

He is my publisher

I didn't kill him brother..

Bastard you killed my publisher

- I did not kill him.. He killed himself
- What do I care?

Why did you have to
go and sleep with Chhaya?

Why couldn't you sleep
with somebody else?

- Rahul, it happened..
- It happened, did it?

I will kill you!!!

- Just happened..
- Who is Chhaya?

Dhruva..

Dhruva, wake up-
there is a dead man

Who died?

I don't know, somebody.

- Where is he?
- In the other room

- Like, shot in the head
- Wow

Have some water

I am really sorry Rahul,
I didn't know he was your publisher

I had one chance..

one chance in four years,
and you did this

Rahul I'm really sorry

You're sorry?
Show me how sorry you are?

Take this..

- What's the matter with you?
- Take this.

Do what he did

You are the cause of every
one's misery- his, yours, mine

I don't know how much
more pain you are going to cause

Send it out to the universe, right?

This is what the
universe sent back to me

- I don't know what you asked for.
- Just shut up.

No more of your mumbo jumbo

Sheetal lets leave..

Rahul brother,
you can't leave me like this

I am leaving. But before I go
I'm going to call the police

Rahul don't do that..

What are you going to tell them?

I am going to tell them there has been
a murder here. Is that okay?

Rahul, your finger prints
are on the gun- and on the trunk.

- And yours
- What the fuck, bro

What a creep you are!

What do you expect? I am
asking for your help, as a friend

This is asking for help? This?

Can we decide what to do about this?

Mama.. in Breaking Bad they
use acid to dissolve the body

Vivan!

Acid!

A man who used to laugh, love,
cook- and in the end its just acid?

- Joshi get a hold on your self
- What does it all mean?

He is dead..

- Joshi, I didn't do it..
- I know. That is what is really sad.

He killed himself. Can you imagine how
much pain there must be in his life?

Joshi he is in a happier place now

How do you know?

How do you know that?

What if he is still unhappy?

All you smart people,
you have words..

..but no feelings

I hate all of you

Please Joshi.
Stop making this about yourself

This is no time to be emotional

He is dead, we are alive.
He doesn't have problems, we do.

He doesn't have to
go to work tomorrow, I do

Quite frankly he is the most selfish
man I've ever met, not you Sunil

Everybody has problems-
Everybody is suffering.

I don't go blowing my brains out

- That too on Diwali night.
- And in somebody else's house

Who does that, man?

What about this unfortunate soul?

Unfortunate? He?
What about us?

He escaped.
We are the ones trapped

He is my friend.
Not you guys..

I just want to hug him..
I feel so close to him

- Joshi what are you doing?
- I just want to sleep..

Go inside and sleep

- Joshi what are you doing?
- I want to hug this guy

I want to feel close to him..
I understand him

Stop being ridiculous

Joshi! will you stop it..

- I just want to feel close to him..
- Joshi stop it

Sheetal let him be

Why can't you all just stop this?
What are you doing?

There is a dead body here and you all are
just crying and thinking about yourselves

Sheetal stop being hysterical

Of course I am going to be hysterical,

How can you be so calm?
What's wrong with YOU?

Guys can we decide
whats to be done?

She is right..

Sunil?

Malti?

I want him out of
the house, that is all

Yeah, but where? You can't
just dump a body out on the road..

Anybody has any bright ideas,
speak now

Vivan, no acid- no knives..
Any other ideas?

Railway tracks

When you have it,
you don't realise its value..

but after its gone,
you know what it really meant

Sunil, is it okay if we skip?

Are you nuts?
I am not exactly mad about doing this.

Either we all go, or nobody..

Get the car Sunil, will you?

Don't you touch me.
You are a curse

- Baby promise me something
- Yeah?

Don't ever cheat on me

I'd rather die..

- Oh shit!
- What happened?

I left my cooking vessel
over there.. Tch!

- You haven't been cleaning the car lately
- No sir, just yesterday..

Do a good job of it today

Sir, Happy Diwali..

"Careful now..."

"Truth is, truth is the morning isn't coming"

"Careful now.."

"don't be lost"

"My heart feels empty"

"But maybe you're close"

"Is it just me on my own"

"Or are you close"

"It's hard to say.."

"Whether the heart's just bruised up"

"Or timid and afraid"

"Some moment somewhere is stuck"

"Cold and frozen and un-melting"

"Your love is a force of habit for me"

"it doesn't leave me "

"Careful now.."

"don't lose the way.."
