Miss India (2020) - full transcript

"Greatness is a quality.

It's neither acquired
through one's recognition…

nor lost because of being unacknowledged."

My grandfather told me
this when I was young.

But then, I was not mature enough
to understand what it meant.

And when I understood
what it meant, he was no more.

If you really want to know
the meaning of this statement,

you need to know my story.

My name is Manasa Samyuktha.

I come from a small
village called Lambasingi

near Visakhapatnam in
Andhra Pradesh, India.



I belong to a simple, middle-class family.

Disgusting! What's with this dirt?

You are supposed to come straight
home when Dad leaves for the camp.

Don't say anything to her!
She fell into the gutter by accident.

Enough with the nonsense.

Do you think I am your teacher
to believe all your lies?

I am your mother.

What other things have
you done discreetly?

Did you eat something
on your way back home?

No, Mom. We didn't eat anything.

You ate something, didn't you?

No, Mom.

I know that you look at
your feet whenever you lie.

Don't look at your feet.
Look at me, and answer me.



You ate something, right?

Okay. Dad must be on his way.
Go and take a shower.

Wear your nightclothes
and come back here in ten minutes.

-Kamala!
-Yes.

-Dad!
-Dad!

Dad… why do you look so dull?
How was the camp?

-It was okay, dear.
-Give it to me.

One's stress also increases when
there's an increase in the salary.

This is what a middle-class
man has to go through!

Dad, I had asked you to get me a watch.
Did you get it?

I forgot about it, dear.

You and your forgetfulness!

Last time, you forgot your watch.

And this time,
you forgot to get a watch for him.

What's happening?

I will get it next time.
Go and set the table. I am starving.

-Go.
-Come.

Arjun, Sahana, Samyuktha.
What's happening?

-Is everything okay at school?
-Yes, Dad.

Why hasn't Dad arrived yet?

There are experiments going
on with a new drug in the clinic.

I guess he would be back
only when those conclude.

Today, they got their
progress reports at school.

Arjun, is there any progress?
Or is it the usual regress?

I got a B, Dad.

Wow!

What about you, Sahana?

I got an A, Dad.

I topped the tests, Dad.

Remember, good grades are of no
use if you don't have any goal in life.

It's been six months since I asked
you what you would like to become.

By the time you get your next report
card, tell me what your goal is.

If you're unable to do that,
then your good grades wouldn't matter.

Samyuktha, what happened?
Are you not able to sleep?

-No, Dad. I have a stomachache.
-Oh.

I can't sleep.
I want to go to Grandpa.

Now? I will give you some medicine.
Take it and sleep. We shall go tomorrow.

No… I want to see Grandpa.

At this hour? Keep quiet and go to sleep.

No, I want to be with Grandpa.

If your mom wakes up,
you are going to be grounded.

Get up slowly, and come with me.

BHARAT AYURVEDA CLINIC

Dear, are you feeling better?

Now that I helped you feel better,
what are you going to give me in return?

A kiss.

I don't want it.

Then, what do you want?

I want my Samyuktha to become
as famous as the Queen.

The entire nation should
sing your praises.

They should be proud of you.
They should like your work.

Promise me that you will do that.

Grandpa, I don't know about that,

but I promise you that I will show
the world what a great man you are!

There's nothing great about me, dear.

I love this country, so I worked
in the military for a few years.

And now, with my little
knowledge of medicine,

I am looking after
the people of the village.

This tea is enough to prove
what a great person you are!

And people should know about this tea.

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Samyuktha!

Happy birthday to you

-How many students are there?
-I'd say approximately 500.

Samyuktha, what do you want
to be when you grow up?

I will finish my MBA,
and then I'll start a business.

Yeah, right! As if she is really
going to start a business!

No, dear. Men do business.
This field is not meant for women.

A girl should be educated,

and she should marry a guy chosen
by her parents and settle down.

No. I am not that kind of a girl.

I will do as I please,
and be whoever I want to be.

-Brother.
-Yes, Samyuktha?

I've finished my project research.

I'll be there in some time.

Come. Everyone is waiting for you.

If someone tries to scare you, you
should be scared, Mr. Siva Rama Krishna.

Who are you, dear?

I am from Blue Dart, sir. I've come
here to deliver your daughter to you.

-Kamala!
-Yes?

Someone is trying to prank us!

I was just acting,
but you are going overboard.

Samyuktha, come.

Hi, Mom! Not just Samyuktha,
it's Manasa Samyuktha.

Alright, come.

-Hello, lawyer!
-Hello.

-How is your practice going?
-Perfect.

-Dear!
-Grandpa!

Is all well with you?

Yes, Grandpa!

Hey…

Dear! What happened to you?

-Dad!
-What happened?

-What happened?
-What happened, Dad?

When Samyuktha came home after two
months, he couldn't recognize her, doctor.

Arjun… what I'm about to discuss
with you is a sensitive matter.

Your father has Alzheimer's.

Stage five!

There is a moderately severe decline.

It means that his brain
function is declining.

He's suffering from memory
loss, and that's why…

he is unable to recognize people.

So… please don't do anything
that may give him stress.

Make sure the people he loves are
beside him, and take care of him warmly.

Just like a kid.

I strongly feel that…

it would be better if he doesn't
work in a situation like this.

I understand what you're saying,

but the family's responsibility
is on his shoulders.

People of his age generally
do not get this disease.

Maybe, he got it at such a young age
because of the stress at his work.

He's been continuously working
to provide for the family.

As his eldest son,

it's time for you to take
the responsibility of the family.

Both of you are mentally strong…

that's why, I am discussing this with you.

You need to subtly break this
news to your family members.

Grandpa, it's quite late.
Please, have your dinner.

No, dear. I am not hungry.

It's not advisable to go to bed
on an empty stomach at your age.

Please, have it.

Alright… I'll eat after some time.

Samyuktha, sit with me.

He lost his mother when…
he was just two years old.

Since then, I didn't pay attention
to him or this household.

He used to wake up
at five o'clock in the morning,

finish all the household work,
and go to school by himself.

In the evening, by the time I
came home from the hospital,

he would get the food ready.

I never urged him to study.

He studied hard on his own.

And he worked hard to get
to where he is now.

And now, he's suffering memory loss.

Samyuktha, fate is very strange.

So…

the amount of hard work you put in
life is not the most important thing.

How happy you are in life is
the most important thing.

Nothing matters if one is not
happy, Samyuktha.

Keep that in mind!

What happened, Mom?
Why do you look dull?

It's been more than a month
since he went to work.

We have to pay the fees.
There are education fees,

medical fees, etc.
They are increasing day by day.

Kamala, don't worry. I am here.

I am going to take care of their
education fees and his medical fees.

Sahana is starting her practice as well.

That would help us in one way or another.

Arjun, I am going out.
Take care of the house.

Stop!

Sahana… what's this?

You didn't tell us anything about this.

How dare you marry some stranger
and come to us for blessings!

Please, let us explain--

Don't you dare speak!
I have no reason to speak to you.

Mom, he is my husband.
We've been in love since a long time.

We knew that you wouldn't agree. That's
why, we had to get married this way.

How could you do this despite being
fully aware of the situation at home?

Instead of being sensible…

you have just been selfish!

It's better to be childless…

than having a daughter like you!

Mom…

Perhaps, his memory loss is God's way

of shielding him from
seeing what you've done!

Had he seen what you have done,
he would have died of a heart attack.

Before he comes to know any of
this, get out of the house!

-Go away!
-Mom…

Sahana.

-Kamala--
-Dad, don't you have to go to the clinic?

I am ready.

I'm going to the bank.
Come, I will drop you off.

No, son. There's still some time left.
In the meanwhile, get some rest.

-Why should I get rest?
-Just do it!

-Arjun, take him inside.
-I am alright.

Dad, I spoke to you about my
semester results the other day…

Kamala, what happened?
Why is the house lit up?

Dad… it's Diwali today.

Diwali?

A lot of bad things have
happened in this house.

What's there to celebrate?

Diwali is celebrated
when good wins over evil.

Dad used to tell this
to us when we were kids.

Really? When did I ever say that?

Dad, brother has completed his studies.
Soon, he will get a good job.

After that, I'd also be done with my MBA.

I will start my business immediately.

We wouldn't have any
kind of stress or fear.

Ours is not the kind of household
that indulges in businesses.

It'd not be a right decision in
these circumstances, Samyuktha.

Be smart about it.
Finish your MBA, and get a good job.

Get rid of those thoughts of
starting a new business, Samyuktha.

When I wake up in the morning,
my tummy is all bloated

and my throat is entirely dry.

He gets irritated as soon
as he gets out of bed.

He gets impatient and agitated for
every single thing. Please, take a look.

Here's what is wrong with your husband.

Every night, he has alcohol with soda.

The gas in the soda gets trapped in his
stomach, so it's bloated because of that.

He is responsible for that!

Don't worry.
I will write you some medicine.

Hello, Doctor Viswanatha!

Please come in, Miss Manasa Samyuktha!

You came right on time.

Take this medicine,
and brew him a cup of tea with that.

-At your service, Grandpa!
-Thank you.

She's my granddaughter.
She loves me a lot.

She's got all of my qualities.

Wow! This tea tastes like ambrosia.

I've never had tea that tasted
this good in my entire life.

It looks like your granddaughter will be

your serious competition when it
comes to brewing such kind of tea.

I'd be the proudest person

if my granddaughter becomes
more successful than me!

Come on, Grandpa.
I learned all this from you.

You should thank my grandfather, not me.

Darling… make me a cup of tea every day

until my last breath.

I don't want anything more
from you in this life.

Grandpa, not just here…

but no matter where you go,
I will never leave you.

It's not so easy to escape from me.

M. Tech Mechanical engineering…

2020 batch…

third rank goes to Mr. Arjun Chaitanya.

Thank you, sir.

-I hope you get done with your MBA soon.
-Don't worry. It will be done.

-Arjun Chaitanya!
-Hello, Professor GK.

Congrats again, my boy!

Thank you but why, sir?

I saw your robotic design.
It has impressed me a lot.

My gut told me to send it
to American universities, so I sent it.

They are immensely impressed.

You know what?
They have offered you a job in America.

If you are interested,
you can go and join next month.

Sir, is this for real?
I cannot believe it.

Yes, you've made it.
I'm totally proud of you, my boy!

Thank you so much for your help. I am in
desperate need of such a job right now.

-I know. Good luck.
-Thank you, sir.

Thank you, sir.

I need to immediately tell
this to Dad and Grandpa.

I am confused about how to tell
this news to father-in-law.

We sent the children from our village
to the town for their education.

For their higher education,
we sent them from towns to cities.

We made our peace…

with the fact that they're living
far from us in the same country.

And today…

they have to leave us behind
to pursue jobs abroad.

Our condition will improve…
if all of us relocate along with Arjun.

And that is what all of us feel.

My husband would get
a better treatment over there.

Samyuktha will have better
job options over there…

after she gets done with her education.

You've sacrificed a lot for us.

At your age, you need to rest more.

That is why, we think it would be
the best if you come there along with us.

Nothing's wrong with my age. I would
still be sturdy for another five years.

You all can go to America
as per your wish.

Don't think about me.

Grandpa, if you don't want to
go, I will stay here with you.

I am not going if you're not going.

I don't want to impede your
desires, dreams and opportunities.

It is up to you.
You can do whatever you feel like doing.

Grandpa!

Grandpa, here's your cup of tea. Once--

Grandpa.

Grandpa!

Get up, Grandpa.

The memories we have of
the person we love the most…

give us a great deal of happiness.

And when that person leaves us forever,

those very memories bring
us a lot of pain as well.

But this is life.

We cannot be sad forever.

We should not miss
the opportunities at hand.

We have to leave in two days.

Be ready.

Greatness is neither acquired
through one's recognition…

nor lost because of being unacknowledged.

You always believed in that,

but I believe that everyone should
know what a great person you are.

Samyuktha.

Come. Get in the car quickly!

We're getting late.

I hope you didn't forget any luggage.

-Let me help you.
-No, I got it.

I am feeling very proud.

Everyone in the village used to ask me

what my achievement in life
was other than working in a bank.

Look, it is with the same bank job that…

I have managed to get
you all here to the USA.

That's true.
We are all here because of you.

She is definitely an Indian.

Let's go talk to her.

Hey!

-Hi.
-Hi.

Are you from India?

I am Padma Nayana from India.

I am Preethi from India.

Hi. I am Manasa Samyuktha from Lambasingi.

-Wow!
-Oh, nice.

-I am pursuing an MBA in Marketing.
-I am pursuing an MBA in HR.

I'm in Finance.

-Nice.
-First day?

Oh, is it that clearly visible?

Chill! First day here is usually like
that. Let's go and have a cup of coffee!

-Yeah.
-Actually, I am a tea addict.

I've been looking for a good cup of
chai ever since I got here, but no luck.

Everyone here drinks coffee.

Forget chai.

Let's have a cup of coffee,
and KSK Coffee is the best.

You should definitely try it.

So, what are your plans
after completing your MBA?

I want to start my own business.
That's my dream.

But my mother and my
brother don't like the idea.

Let's see what happens.

-Hi, girls. What's up?
-What's up, Alex?

You do remember, right?
Be there at seven o'clock, sharp!

Even if we try to forget it,
I don't think you will ever let us.

Oh, you silly girl! If beautiful
girls like you don't come to the party,

what will happen to the beauty
of the party? See you there.

-Right.
-Bye!

Who was that? What was he talking about?

That is Alex, a local wannabe guy.

He arranges parties around.

So that Indians like us
can get to know each other.

If you come,
you would get to know a lot of people.

I don't like to go to parties.
You guys go ahead.

Samyuktha, this is America…

the most happening place on the planet.

Please, come.
You will realize why I am saying this.

-Anyway, we are in the final year.
-Yes.

We might not get a chance
to enjoy ourselves again in life.

So, enjoy it to the fullest.

-Alright, I'll think about it.
-Here.

Thank you.

Come on.

Four!

Dad.

Samyuktha, come.

Kohli is doing a fantastic job
with the batting. Sit down.

His score is 56. He's going strong.
India is just 50 runs away from a win.

-Exciting!
-Dad, that was yesterday's match.

India lost the match.

What are you talking about?
They are playing really well. Watch it.

Damn!

-Let's go dance, Preethi.
-No, wait.

Hi.

Hey! Look, Samyuktha is here!

-Hey! What a pleasant surprise!
-Hi.

-Thank you for coming.
-Hello! How are you?

Hello.

-Three tequila shots, please!
-Hey, I don't drink.

Oh, really? Then, why did you come
to the pub? To perform prayers?

"A life spent without tasting wine,
whiskey or vodka is a big waste."

That is what my grandma used to say.

I have a cup of chai when I am happy…

and a cup of coffee when I'm angry.

I don't know any other
beverages than these two.

Alright. The three of us are together
for the first time at a party,

so we should do something crazy.

Shall we play "Truth or Dare"?

-Yes.
-Yeah, come on.

-Truth or dare?
-Truth!

-Okay.
-How many times have you kissed until now?

-How was it?
-No, only one question.

-Okay.
-Come on.

Truth or dare?

Dare.

Look over there! Do you see that couple?
Create a rift between them.

What? They might hit me!

Rules are rules.

-Are you sure?
-Yes! You must do it.

Alright!

-Have you been to India?
-India?

No, Vijay. Never.

Hi. What's up?

-Hey, who are you?
-I'm Manasa Samyuktha.

-Samyuktha?
-Manasa Samyuktha!

Okay. Do I know you?

Hasn't he told you that we
are getting married next week?

Sorry, what did you say?

I said we both are
getting married next week.

Okay, Vijay! See you, bye.

Stella!

-Stella!
-Hey.

Stella!

Actually…

-This is your phone, right?
-I am so--

-Stella!
-Wait, Stella!

-Stella!
-Stella!

Oh, God!

-Sorry, I didn't mean to do that.
-Why would you do something like that?

Well, my friends had given me a dare.

They asked me to create
a rift between you guys.

That's all. I'm really sorry.

Please, give me my phone.

Dinner?

No, it's not possible.

-Then, I cannot return your phone.
-Hey!

You're taking a disadvantage
of the opportunity.

Didn't you do the exact same thing
earlier, Miss Manasa Samyuktha?

What should I do now?

If you want your phone back,
come and have dinner with me.

Going with him for dinner
doesn't make him my boyfriend…

and me his girlfriend.

-It's okay. I'll go.
-It is alright.

It's just dinner.
I am not asking you to date me.

Let's go.

Oh, man!

Having dinner with you is just
like watching a silent movie.

I am here to have dinner.
I am not on a date.

I'll tell you something.

And if you don't want to
speak with me even after that,

I'll keep quiet.

I saw you at the pub earlier…
even before you saw me.

I found you very interesting
from the moment I saw you,

but I couldn't approach you as I
thought you might misunderstand me.

But look at my fate.
Amid all the people in that pub,

you came and spoke to me.

I've invited you to dinner so that we can
understand this situation.

I hope you're not uncomfortable.

If you don't mind, could you ask
them to pack the leftover food?

Why? Let's order something fresh.

Well, I don't like wasting food.

So, I will give it to someone else.

Oh, charity, right?

Not really. It's more like humanity.

Giving for the sake of giving is charity.

And sharing because we have
enough is humanity.

That's quite clear.

I know.

Yes, sir? Anything else?

Samyuktha?

Do you have chai?

Chai? Oh, no! Sorry, ma'am.

They don't serve chai.

Why do you look so sad as if
you've lost a million dollars?

I've lost something more
valuable than a million dollars.

But you don't need to know that.

You seem to have found something
in the water over there.

You've been observing it seriously.

Nope, not really.

You told me that you lost something
more precious than a million dollars.

May I know what it is?

My grandfather!

He left this world, and left me alone.

I have always adored him
ever since I can remember.

I am not at all feeling good…

about leaving the house I grew up
in, my village, and my country.

If everything happens as per our heart's
desire, why would we call it a "life"?

Anyway, nothing is permanent here.

Neither you nor me.

There is nothing much we can do
other than forgetting and moving on.

For someone like you who's
been away from his country,

forgetting someone
might not be such a big deal.

I remember every minute
detail about him even today.

You wouldn't understand.

Samyuktha, wait a minute!

I lost my mother when I was ten years old.

I stayed in my room for a month
after her death and cried.

My mother never came back.

But the pain always remained.

So, don't think that I don't
understand your pain.

I said that to console you.

I won't deny the beauty
and charm of India.

But America is beautiful as well.

If we could inculcate the simplicity

that we see in nature
into our thought process…

we would be at peace.

You are using your pain as an excuse

to stop yourself from enjoying the beauty
and happiness that exist in this country.

If you give it a chance, you will see it.

I have saved my name
as "Vijay" on your phone.

If you think I made any sense
today, call me.

I will be waiting.

Hello!

Thanks, Vijay! Ever since I started
seeing the beauty that surrounds me…

I started feeling better.

That's great!

-Are you free tomorrow evening?
-Yes, I am.

I have two tickets for a movie.

My friend has some work,
so he can't make it.

Would you like to join me?

I was waiting for him to ask me out.

Now, he's asked me out just
like they show in the movies.

Well… I'll think about it.

What do you mean?

Mr. Vijay, if a girl says she will not
come, it means she is thinking about it.

If she says she will think about it,
it means she will come.

If she blatantly tells you that she
will come, that means she isn't a woman!

Oh!

Which movie is it?

You will know if you come.

Okay, see you there.

In India, it didn't matter
how you used to dress up.

But this is America.

It's time you flaunt your
beauty to this country.

What do you mean?

Do you mean I don't look beautiful now?

-No, that's not what--
-Hi, miss. May I help you?

Wow! You look beautiful!

I like your style. Where are you from?

-India.
-Oh! Let me show you our collection.

Please!

Vijay.

No.

No.

No, Samyuktha.

Black doesn't suit you.

Let's go with Grey.

How do I look?

-Beautiful!
-Thank you.

I don't know how you would
look in a Grey dress,

but you look really gorgeous in black.

I'm happy.

The world is going to look
at you in a new way.

Thank you.

Manasa Samyuktha, shall we go?

It's all quite new, these colors
Flow across the sky as a rainbow

Time is dragging its feet
Because it doesn't want to be shortened

You don't have to look back
On yesterday's tears

This endless unattainable happiness
Is all around you

Even if the paths have changed
The spring hasn't hidden itself

Let me explore this extension
Of friendship and try something new

Thank you, Vijay.

I was very sad when I was
leaving India to come to the US.

But after knowing you,
I've become an entirely new person.

Thank you so much!

Coffee?

Coffee is not my cup of tea.

Thank you.

Will you at least say "cheers"?

Cheers!

I am confused about
What I want to wish for

When I am with you
I don't feel any kind of bitterness

I listen to the sweet music
Coming from the bamboo flute

I am looking at the corner of
My heart that houses immortality

Wow!

This cup of tea tastes 100 times
better than a cup of coffee.

Superb!

The darkness that's present in the east

Only dawn can make it disappear

This distance keeps shrinking
As we come together

I can feel the heat in this light

How is it?

Do you remember?
When we'd met for the first time,

I had said that KSK Coffee is the best.

I was wrong.

-This is ten times better than that.
-True indeed!

Thank you.

-Cheers!
-Cheers!

Now, I'd like to announce
the topper of this trimester.

Miss Manasa Samyuktha!

It's all quite new

Where are you off to?

Can't you see? I'm going for a jog.

Jog around the house!
Don't go elsewhere.

You will forget your way back.

Oh! Are you questioning my memory?

People used to say that I have
a very good memory and the knowledge of

each and every document in
all the cupboards of the bank,

the number of currency
notes in the locker,

and the amount of money in
each and everyone's account.

Just because I moved here, do you think
that will affect my memory, Vimala?

You remember all that,
but you forgot the most important thing.

-My name is not Vimala. It's Kamala.
-Oh!

So, you changed your name
after moving to a new country!

Don't hit yourself so hard.
You will suffer memory loss.

SWOT analysis is very important
before starting any business.

Listen.

This is important because of
the clear overview it provides.

What?

It is "SWOT."

"SWOT" means…

the strengths, the weaknesses,
the opportunities…

and the threats that exist in the market.

It's a self-analysis to understand
our situation.

Actually, this analysis is quite
useful in our lives as well.

How does that work?

Take my life as an example.

My decision to pursue my goal of
starting my business is my strength.

My inability to champion
my goals and dreams

in the company of my mother
and brother is my weakness.

The life that is ahead of me in the world
as big as ours, is my opportunity.

My insecurities about not
fulfilling my goals are my threats.

Wow, Samyuktha! It'd have been great if
I had the same clarity of thoughts as you.

Despite the clarity I have,
nothing is ever in our control.

The toughest thing is to
put your ideas into action.

And that is what life is all about.

So, being positive is the best solution.

Samyuktha.

Yes, brother?

What's this?

Open it.

Wow, a watch!

I really wanted it.

Thank you, brother.

This is my favorite color.

Time is the most valuable
thing, Samyuktha.

This gift is to remind you the same.

How does it look?

It's very nice.

Thank you!

Here is your interview letter.

Go for this job interview tomorrow.

Alright?

Brother…

I know how important time is to you,
but I also value my time a lot.

I wouldn't like to waste my time on a job.

I have a goal in my life.

And you know that very well.

Samyuktha!

We enrolled you in an MBA course…

so that you can do what is
necessary for our family.

If you want to stay
with us in this house,

you must listen to me and do as I say.

It's your choice.

Mr. James Patrick… cabin one.

Mr. Peter Dillion… cabin two.

Mr. Goyal Gabeth… cabin three.

Miss Manasa Samyuktha,
please go to the cabin number four.

Excuse me, sir!

Hey, Samyuktha. What a sweet surprise!

Hey!

There won't be any interview for you.

You are selected!

Had you informed me earlier,
I'd have hired you right away.

Thanks…

but hire me only if you find me fit
for this job after interviewing me.

That would make me happy.

Well, Samyuktha.

I am well aware of your talent…

so I'll skip all the technical questions.

I will ask you only one general question.

There are three guys waiting outside to
crack this interview and get the job.

Why should I reject them and hire a woman
instead? Well… why should I hire you?

I am an MBA graduate.

I've been a topper right from my
nursery to my post-graduation.

That means… no guy ever surpassed me.

That means they did not surpass a woman.

Other than education,

there are many things that a girl
learns to do since her birth.

She does multitasking,
planning, organizing…

handling the house, protecting herself,

sharing love and affection, and whatnot!

No man can ever go through the pain that
a woman undergoes while giving birth.

According to a scientific research,

women are more mentally stable
than their male counterparts.

In business, men cannot surpass
the financial models put forth by women.

And when it comes to me,
I never waste my time.

That means I wouldn't
waste your time either.

If you hire me,

I'll make sure that I perform better
than the best employee of this company.

So, hiring me is only advantageous
to you and you'll not regret it.

Wow!

Electrifying!

You are selected.

You can start working from tomorrow.

Make calls to all these people,

and close at least ten sales
by the end of the day. Okay?

Okay.

Okay.

-Hello.
-Hi, I'm calling from Matrix Advertising.

-This is regarding an ad sale.
-Okay.

You can get the best space on the print,
web and digital media to place your ads.

Please, do let us know.

Sorry, not interested.

Thank you, have a nice day.

-Yes?
-Hi, I'm calling from Matrix Advertising.

-This is--
-Call me later.

-Okay, thank you.
-Hello.

-Hi, I'm calling from--
-Get lost.

Samyuktha, you need to impress
the customers by bluffing a little.

Samyuktha, we expect you
to perform nothing less than the best.

Good, Samyuktha.
I see that you are adapting.

Good job, Samyuktha.
Keep going!

Great job, Samyuktha!
You are now the Employee of the Month.

Sitara…

those people from Vijayawada would like us
to give them our decision by tonight.

Did I study hard since my
childhood, came to the USA…

and got a good job so that
I can quit it and get married, Mom?

It is a very good match, Sitara.
Job is not a big deal.

Hurry up and come to India soon. See you.

Sitara.

Is there any problem?

My mom had called me from India.

Apparently,
they've found a good guy for me.

But they don't want me to continue
my job after the marriage.

I don't know if I am supposed to feel
happy that they got me a good match…

or feel sad that I have
been told to quit my job.

How can that be a good wedding match

if they're asking you
to quit your job, Sitara?

They have so many conditions
even before you're married.

Imagine what's going to happen
after you get married.

Don't get swayed by what your mother says.
Consider what you want and then decide.

This is your life.

You are its owner,
founder and the sole proprietor.

Okay?

-Bye.
-Bye.

You encourage others to live
their lives on their terms.

But are you really implementing that…

in your life?

Grandpa, I don't know about that,

but I promise you that I will show
the world what a great man you are!

I will start my business, Dad.

The amount of hard work you put in
life is not the most important thing.

How happy you are in life is
the most important thing.

Nothing matters if one is not
happy, Samyuktha.

I am not happy with my job at all.

This is so sudden. Why, Samyuktha?

See.

A sale is a beautiful bond
between a customer and a seller.

I don't want to do it with the lies…

adjustments and compromises.

Let's just lie and get it done.

I'll make sure that it'd seem
like an arranged marriage.

Okay.

We are just normal employees, Samyuktha.

We must work according to the policies
set down by the company.

Compromise is like a close friend
that pays us a visit every day.

A lie is like our neighbor.

And an adjustment is
a lover who never leaves us.

I hope you understand.

Hey!

-Hey!
-How are you here so early today?

Is everything okay?

Yeah!

You've finished your targets, right?

Why don't your rest for a couple of days?

No, I am feeling better here.

Is there any problem at home?

My brother saw us together
at the restaurant.

And that has led to a ruckus at home.

Everything will go back
to normal in two days.

Don't overthink this.

My name is Vijay Anand.

I got acquainted with Miss Samyuktha
even before she joined our company.

Though I have everything in my life,

I got this feeling that I found
something that was missing in my life

since quite some time,
and that was because of her.

And when she joined our company,
every moment that I spent with her…

every single thing I got
to know about her,

has increased my liking
and respect toward her.

She also likes me…

but I don't think she will take
it further against your wishes.

That is why, she never said
anything about liking me.

If you approve… I would like to marry her.

I can understand your fears as a mother.

I grew up without a mother.

If you approve…

I promise to treat her as
the most important woman in my life.

I am sure I will take good care of her.

Trust me.

Samyuktha.

When Arjun said that
he saw you with a guy,

I was really anxious.

But after he spoke to us,
I understood that he is a decent guy.

Vijay had come here in the morning…

and he convinced us to
get you married to him.

Vijay is in love with you.

You are lucky to find a guy like him.

We have decided to look for an auspicious
day and get both of you married.

Samyuktha…

The Queen that is supposed to be
trapped has now checkmated the King.

My little world

Has slipped through my fingers

Hello!

Why so serious?

You came to my home today
and talked about our marriage, right?

-I was just thinking about that.
-But why do you seem so serious?

You should be happy, right?

Vijay, I don't know what to tell
you or rather, how to tell you this.

To put it in a simple way,
I don't want to get married now.

Do you not want to get married?
Or do you not want to get married to me?

Vijay, let's not complicate things.
I just don't want to get married.

Samyuktha, do you know what
you are talking about?

It was so difficult for me to
convince your family members.

You can't do this now!

It'd have been better if you had spoken
to me first, before you spoke to them.

Just because you took the efforts
to convince them,

I cannot marry you against my wishes!

I was under the impression that
you'd abide your family's decision.

How can their wishes be mine?

This is my life.

At this moment,
I don't wish to get married.

But why?

Why, Samyuktha?

Marriage is a huge responsibility.

There is a difference between being
single and being with someone.

A lot of things and priorities change.

There are a lot of things that I need
to accomplish… before I get married.

What are those?

Everyone has a purpose in life.

And everyone is talented
in one way or another.

You, I… everyone!

I believe when a person understands
this, that is when his life truly begins.

I want to use my talents
and achieve something in my life.

Samyuktha!

I've been keeping a secret
from you since many days.

But I think it's time I tell you this.

The company that you've been
working for is my father's.

Which means, it is mine as well…
but I like to lead a simple life.

That is why, I've been working as
a manager instead of a managing director.

If you marry me,
you would also have a partnership in that.

In my opinion, I don't think you need
to achieve anything more than this.

Thanks… but I don't want all that!

I want to achieve things

by doing everything on my terms
and in the field I am interested in.

Money can only bring us happiness…

but when we pursue the things we like,
it leaves us with beautiful experiences.

You are not the same Samyuktha that I had
met months ago. You have changed a lot.

I've always been like this, Vijay.

It's just that you started
knowing me recently.

There are hundreds of girls who are
ready to get married to me happily.

But why I got attracted to you is because

I always wanted a simple
life and a simple wife.

But after knowing your plans today,
I understand that you aren't simple…

but a very complicated person.

I am going to end this right
here right now. Goodbye!

One minute, Vijay.

By the time you get to the office, you'll
find my resignation letter on your table.

My little world

Has slipped through my fingers

The bright light

Of my dreams has disappeared

Samyuktha, wait!

What is with your unreasonable behavior?

If you've already decided
that my behavior is unreasonable,

-anything I say would not matter.
-Correct!

Why did you say that you
don't want to marry Vijay?

Because I am not interested.

I am asking you the reason.

He told you that I'm not interested
in him, but didn't he tell you why?

Did you realize that after
dating for six months?

Or did you find someone
who is wealthier than him?

You might stoop so low for the sake
of money, but I won't do that.

-Hey!
-Samyuktha.

What's with that arrogance?
He is your elder brother.

And I am his sister. It would be better
if both of you realize that fact.

What does Vijay lack that you
felt he's not suitable for you?

Will we ever find a better guy than him?

Mom, I am your daughter!

How long will you consider the other
people better than your own children?

Stop thinking about getting
better guys for your daughter!

You should think they should be worthy
of getting married to your daughter!

I will be happy about it!

You're saying this very casually now.

But you'd know the burden
and responsibility of a daughter…

only when you give birth
to one and raise her.

Some people feel they're
lucky if they have a daughter.

And there are some,
who think of them as a burden.

And I am ashamed that
you are one of them.

Samyuktha, you are crossing the limits!

I wanted you to marry Vijay
so that you have an easy life!

If you have any sort of
respect for me, marry him.

I don't want to get married without
achieving something in my life.

You had a dream of becoming a doctor…

but you were pressured
into marriage by your family

and your dream remained unfulfilled.

And post marriage, your life has just
been about your husband and children!

What do you want to do?

Business.

Samyuktha…

I have told you numerous times…

to remove the thought of
starting a business from your mind.

All these days,
I just did the things as per your wish.

But from now on, I'll do what I want!
That's it!

Samyuktha…

you are living in a fantasy world,
and it is very far from reality.

You are a girl…
and we are living in the USA.

You come from a normal
middle-class family.

Unless you and your brother do
a job, we can't make our ends meet.

In such a case, doing a business--

Even if you start a business,

what is the guarantee
that you would succeed?

There isn't a guarantee for all the great
things that happen in this world.

They work because of the conviction.
That's it.

I don't have any faith in it.

I am least bothered about someone's
faith and belief. I'll do what I want.

It's alright if you don't want
to support me. Just don't get in my way.

I have been supporting
our family for long…

and now, you're telling me
not to get in your way.

If I leave this house,
I will never get in your way.

Why aren't you saying directly that
you want to move in with your girlfriend?

Stop!

Why are you accusing your brother

when you wanted to do something of
your own against everyone's wishes?

Yes! You'd never realize
the facts that I put forth.

He is about to get
married to his girlfriend

by making it seem like
an arranged marriage.

Ask him if this is a lie!

I need not stay at a place
where I am not respected.

There is no need for
anyone to go out of this house!

I was the one who caused this
problem, so I'll move out.

Am I confronting the question?

Can I ignore it despite
Knowing the truth?

The day you'd realize my worth…
I shall return to this house.

I've been waiting for that

When you wait, your future calls you

What's yours will always be yours

It wouldn't go away

Samyuktha… why did you ask
us to come here so suddenly?

I walked out of my house.

I quit my job and broke
up with Vijay as well.

What are you saying?

-Why?
-To start a business.

Business?

What business are you talking about?

Chai. Our Indian chai.

In India, chai is as important as petrol.

People don't spend a day
without having a cup of chai.

People drink chai when they're happy, sad,

angry, irritated and on other occasions.

And this place has been
accustomed to coffee.

They don't know the value
or the taste of chai.

And we must be the first ones
to introduce the taste of chai to them.

I need both of you to help me.

What? Do you want us to sell chai?

Coffee is sold at a very exorbitant
price in the entire country.

So, we should sell chai as well.

Come on, Samyuktha. Stop joking.

Establishing a business
requires a lot of planning.

Moreover, this is very risky, Samyuktha.

If this idea doesn't work out,

our time, effort and money
will be wasted.

Every successful business
has potential risks.

Success can't be achieved
without taking risks.

And if it is achieved without
taking risks, it doesn't last long.

I know that this will
be a successful plan.

I am sorry, Samyuktha. I can't help you.

Chai? What is chai?

Chai is an Indian version of tea!

-A cup of chai makes everything better.
-No, thank you.

Would you like to have some chai?

-Not interested.
-It's Indian tea.

Hi. Would you like to have some chai?

You should try this.

Hey! Would you like to have some chai?

-No.
-It's delicious.

Hi! Would you like to have some chai?

What is chai?

Chai is an Indian version of tea!

You'll love it.

-Superb! I like it.
-Thank you so much.

Who gave you the permission
to put this here? Get out right now.

-Why are you…
-Sir, nobody made any mistake.

-Remove it.
-I'm just making tea.

Sir, please understand. This is my life.

Sir, please!

Sir, please!

Sir, please understand!
I'm not making any mistake.

-Please!
-Move.

Let's go, Mom.

If you give me 25 yards of your space,

I can give you a 25 percent
cut from my profit.

No, I'm sorry.

-Thank you.
-Alright.

So, if you give me 30 yards
of space in your hotel,

I can give you a 30 percent
cut from my profit.

No, I'm sorry.

But why don't you meet Mr. Kailash?

He is the owner and founder of
KSK Coffee Chain and Group of Companies.

He is also an Indian.
Maybe, he can help you.

Thank you.

Yes. May I help you?

Hi, I would like to meet
the Managing Director, Mr. Kailash.

Do you have an appointment?

-No.
-Sorry, ma'am. It's not possible.

Just tell him that he might miss out on
an opportunity if he doesn't meet me.

Wait a second.

Sir, but she says you are going
to miss out on an opportunity

if you don't meet her.

I'll build an office
just like this someday.

Okay.

Sure, sir.

Please, wait in the hallway.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hello.

Whom do you want to meet?

Wow! You are an Indian,
but you look like an American.

Is that a compliment or a complaint?

It's a compliment, sir.

My grandfather always used to say,
"Be a Roman in Rome."

Well, you didn't tell me
whom you want to meet.

I am looking for Mr. Kailash Shiva Kumar,
the Managing Director of this company.

I heard that he is also an Indian.

May I know the purpose of your visit?

-I am here with a business proposal.
-Oh! Do you have an appointment?

The receptionist asked
me the same question.

There are way too many formalities
for a person to meet another person.

Rolex watch, polished shoes,
smart dressing.

Seems like you are here
to meet someone, as well.

Do you have an appointment?

Does Kailash need
an appointment to meet Kailash?

The owner and founder of
KSK Coffee Chain and Group of Companies.

The winner of three
"Business Man of the Year" awards.

The one and only Indian to top
the American Entrepreneurs list.

And he's above all the busiest persons you
must have come across in your life ever!

Kailash Shiva Kumar.

An appointment is a simple rule

to ensure that a person spends
his valuable time wisely.

Well…

I was told that I'd miss out on

a wonderful opportunity
if you don't meet me.

And after looking at your beauty…

I felt I shouldn't miss out on
this opportunity and appointment.

-Thanks for the compliment.
-Welcome.

-Manasa Samyuktha.
-Nice name. Sit.

Congratulations for
building such a huge empire.

And thanks for being an example for
the people who aspire to become like you.

Samyuktha…

I've always wanted my life
to be a source of mystery.

But I never thought of
becoming an example to others.

How an Indian became so successful in
America should remain a mystery,

but my life shouldn't
simply be an example…

for the people to attain this position.

Well, what is your business plan?

Here.

So, if you could lend me
some space in your coffee shop,

it would benefit both you and me.

I am more impressed by your
presentation rather than your product.

Remember two things.

Samyuktha and Kailash might go together…

but coffee and tea
would never go together.

Secondly… America is a land of coffee.

So, tea has no place here.

Creating that place is the opportunity
that I am looking for.

One should look at

the necessity of the product in the market
before looking at an opportunity.

No one here even likes to taste tea.

People here love my coffee.

Here, my coffee gives them
the best form of relief.

I am sorry to say this…

but so far, the people
who have tasted my tea…

have complimented me saying that it gives
them more relief than your coffee does.

What?

Did people really say that…

the tea made by an Indian girl
tastes better than my KSK coffee?

-Very funny!
-What's so funny about that, sir?

They told me what they felt.

If you want, I would like to prepare
tea for you right now!

-Would you like to taste it?
-Sure, but not now.

I'll taste it the day you attain my
stature after starting your business.

Sure.

It is not about attaining your stature…

but I'll work hard to increase
the scale of my business.

And in this process, my fate will decide
whether I would attain your stature…

or I'd surpass it.

All the best.

I hope you don't have to face
any obstacles from my end.

I'm writing you a check
for a thousand dollars.

It's for miscellaneous expenses.

I'll be waiting to taste your tea.

Sure.

A thousand dollars might
be a small amount to you…

but I know what can be achieved with
this money, and I'll certainly show you.

Hot!

Move. A little more. Stay!

Hey, Samyuktha.

Hey, how are you?

What's all this?

I might not be able to start a business
with the little amount I have…

but I can advertise about
it with that amount.

That is why, I've decided
to perform a chai ceremony.

Our tea culture is not a modern one.

It dates back 5,000 years.

Monks like Bodhidharma used to organize
a chai ceremony in those days.

A great scholar used to invite…

his students and other scholars
to his place for a cup of tea.

The people gathered at his place used
to feel pleased to drink the tea,

meditate and go back to their place.
After going back to their place,

they used to spread the word
about the chai ceremony to others

and bring them next time to the ceremony.

Tomorrow, I am going to go around
and tell them about the chai ceremony

and invite them to the ceremony.

If we get to make the avid
chai drinkers taste our chai,

they'll spread the word about it
to those who don't know about it.

Hi.

Please, do come to my chai ceremony.

Chai? What is chai?

Please, attend to know more about it.

I will try.

Thank you.

-What's this?
-It is a chai ceremony.

Oh, I'll be there for sure.

Thank you.

You possess the talent to earn
thousands of dollars.

Why would you waste your life…
selling tea for ten dollars?

You can see my hard work, but you can't
see the fact that my heart is in it.

Our neighbor, Sujatha, saw you
selling your tea on the road.

Disgusting! I've been
embarrassed by her behavior.

Talking to her is of no use, Mom!

Look, there's still time.

You can still leave all
that behind and come home.

Point number one.

As long as we haven't done anything
wrong, there is no need to feel guilty

or embarrassed about anything.

Point number two.

I wasn't shouting on the road…

I was trying to sell my product.

Point number three.

Just because our neighbor
thinks it's wrong,

I am not going to stop myself
from doing what I want.

You might not understand
my words or deeds.

But I will wait for the day when
you'd properly understand me.

Hey… chai ceremony!

Nice concept, dear!

You are trying to introduce the concept
of chai to a foreign country.

It's really great.

I am proud of her.

Thank you.

What's your name?

Manasa Samyuktha.

Nice! What does your father do?

Go inside.

Someone like our daughter
is trying to sell chai.

-Okay. Get inside.
-Shouldn't we support her?

I'll definitely come, dear.

Hello, folks.

An Indian girl named
Manasa Samyuktha is organizing

an event called "Chai ceremony" at
7:00 p.m. this Saturday at Royal Theater.

Make sure you attend it.
It's going to be amazing.

Meanwhile, enjoy the song.

Hello, everyone.

Namaste.

My name is Manasa Samyuktha.

I welcome all those Indians who have come
here because they were specially invited,

and all those Americans
who have come here…

out of their interest.

I don't intend to waste your time.

I will finish the last line of my speech

before you finish
the last sip of your tea.

I have a very special
relationship with tea.

Whenever I suffered from cold,
cough or fever during my childhood,

I used to have tea made by my grandfather.

He was an Ayurvedic doctor.

He was a great intellectual
who believed that all ailments

could be treated with tea.

It's been a year since I moved to America.

People generally claim that America is
the most developed country in the world.

The most surprising thing
about this country is that

there is no Indian chai available here.

You won't find it anywhere
even if you search for it.

That is why, I have decided
to start my chai business here.

But we have green tea here.

That's green tea.
I'm talking about Indian chai.

One of which you are tasting right now.

Yeah. This is supreme!

Nothing like it.

Thank you! Coming back to the point…

my intention is to introduce the greatness
of the Indian culture to America

through the chai business
which I am going to start.

That is why, I'd consider this as
a responsibility rather than a business.

Very nice! My name is Krishna Murthy.

Though I am an Indian,
I was born and raised here.

So, I am not very familiar with the tea.

Could you tell us what's
so great about that?

Sure.

In India, most of the people can't
spend a day without having chai.

Right from the working-class
people to the lawyers,

from the students to the scientists,

and from the children to the old folks…

everyone has chai to get relief from
the work stress and tensions in life.

Chai provides answers to many questions.
It provides solutions to many problems.

That's its greatness.

Don't you think it should
be available in America?

Yes, it should be available.

-Yes, it should be available.
-Yes, it should be available.

-Yes, it should be available.
-Yes, it should be available.

If you think it should be available,
I need your help.

If you really liked my chai,
buy a packet which is over there.

And those who would buy it,

kindly share your experience
with your friends and relatives.

That is the help which you could offer me.

But Miss Samyuktha, what brand is it?

Miss India!

I am thankful that you have come this far
to see me and listened to me patiently.

Thank you!

Well, you didn't tell
me how my chai tasted.

-Superb!
-Superb!

Thank you.

-That was a really great chai ceremony.
-Thank you.

I've worked on a lot of businesses
and I've started quite a few as well.

But you are the only person I saw

who's publicizing a business in
an aesthetic and poetic way.

-Thank you so much, sir.
-A big business always starts small.

Good luck.

-Can I get one?
-Sure, sir.

-Here.
-Thank you.

Here is my card.

Just in case if you need any help.

Sure. Thank you so much, sir.

Oh! Please, call me Vikram!

-Thank you, Vikram.
-Cool!

-See you.
-Bye.

Bye.

We really didn't know how serious
you were about your business

until we saw the success
of your chai ceremony.

From now onward,
we will stand by you, Samyuktha.

Thank you so much.

America is the most
happening place in the world.

We need a good spot to launch
our Miss India product.

Nayana, could you tell me how much
it'd cost to launch this product?

It would roughly cost half
a million dollars, Samyuktha!

It'd cost three crores
as per our currency.

We need a really good investor.

Someone who trusts us.

Someone who has faith in our business.

Vikram!

Yes. Didn't you say that he was
impressed by your chai ceremony?

He is the President of
the Indian Entrepreneurs Association.

Before that, he was a venture capitalist.

He has encouraged a lot of
people to start their business.

If we ask him for help,
he might help us.

Yeah.

Miss Samyuktha is here to see you.

Hey, Samyuktha! What a pleasant surprise!

-Hello, Vikram.
-Please, sit down.

By the way,
didn't my people serve you anything?

Any soft drink or Miss India special chai?

Actually, I don't think your
guys can offer me what I want.

What is it?

The investment for launching
Miss India will cost three crores.

-If you could invest in our company…
-What would I get?

We guarantee you a minimum of
25 percent profit per year.

As per that, we'll return your money
along with the interest in four years.

How are you so sure that…

your brand-new product will be a success?

You've tried it, so you should tell
us whether it will be a success or no.

Do you know any such success story?

No.

You are not associated with
any other big brands,

and there isn't a company that has
launched something similar to yours.

There isn't a necessity for
your product in the market.

The possibility of your business
becoming a success is just 0,1 percent.

I started with nothing, so I'd consider
0,1 percent possibility a good sign.

Because… this is my dream.

Forgive me, Samyuktha!

Money should not be spent
on dreams and desires!

But I saw your perseverance
and determination.

So, I'll set my business rules aside
and invest in your business.

But there's one condition.

If your year's profit is even one
percent less than what you have said,

you must return all my money
along with the interest.

And you must sell your company to me.

If you agree,
we can start signing the agreement papers.

Get the money ready for the investment.

Every morning stands as
A ramp for your success

You can't reach your destination if you
Move in random directions like the wind

Every minute doesn't reveal it
But the next moment is not a myth either

When courage is your consort
There is no scope for defeat

-This is for you.
-Wow! This is fantastic, Preethi.

A good poster creates a good
impression about a movie.

Similarly, a good logo creates
a great impact for a business.

The dictionary doesn't explain
The meaning of unanswered aspirations

The unwritten tomorrow is the only thing

That stands in your way

Appreciation for your courage would
Be given forever by every generation

Won't the sunlight fight
And win over the darkness?

Appreciation for your courage would
Be given forever by every generation

Won't the sunlight fight
And win over the darkness?

For the first time in
the history of America,

an Indian woman starts a business
called "Miss India" with Indian chai.

Let's wait and see what she can do.

Every morning stands as
A ramp for your success

You can't reach your destination if you
Move in random directions like the wind

So, the day has finally come.

The beginning of a new era…
of chai in the United States of America.

Thank you, Vikram.

You are the reason behind all this.

We are launching Miss India
the day after tomorrow.

You are our chief guest.

Me? What do you mean?

Talent and willpower aren't
enough to achieve what we dream of.

We also need the people who
believe in us and support us.

And I understood that when I met you.

You have turned my dream
of Miss India into a reality.

So, who would make
a better chief guest than you?

I struggled a lot for
the money in my life.

I even helped a lot of
people with the money.

Despite all that, I still suffered
from some dissatisfaction in life.

But today…

I am able to realize
the greatness of my work

and the real purpose of my life.

This is because of you.

Thank you so much!

I will be there.

Don't worry.

Not because I was
invited as the chief guest,

but because my friend has invited me.

Thank you.

Miss India…
I think we should taste the chai here.

Chai? No, let's go to KSK please.

Jingle!

Oh.

-Is she your pet?
-Yeah.

So cute.

-Thank you. Thank you so much.
-Is her name Jingle?

-Jingle. Yes.
-Nice.

Now that you are here,
would you like to taste our chai?

-We just started today.
-Sure.

-Okay.
-Yeah, please have a seat.

Thank you.

There you go.
This is our special Indian chai.

Nice!

-Amazing!
-Thank you.

I'll keep coming from tomorrow.

Thank you! It would be our pleasure.

See you, Jingle.

-Here is your tandoori chai.
-Thank you!

-Hey.
-Give me five minutes.

Okay.

As usual… he's saying he needs
five minutes to flirt with her.

Hey… if you don't mind me asking…

you like her, don't you?

What's stopping you from talking to her?

My voice.

Would you talk to her if
your voice gets better?

Give me five minutes.

Indian special!

What is happening?

What is this tea magic?

Indian special magic!

The credit goes to the great Indian
woman and her beautiful chai.

Here is your love chai.

-Thank you.
-You are welcome!

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the Miss India family.

We are very glad to conduct our
first board of directors meeting.

And now, please welcome our
Managing Director, Miss Manasa Samyuktha.

The silence will break when
Your struggle will make the sound

The opposition will crumble

When you'll fight the war
With your silence

Every morning stands as
A ramp for your success

Won't the sunlight fight
And win over the darkness?

Every morning stands as
A ramp for your success

Won't the sunlight fight
And win over the darkness?

It is a great privilege
to be a part of this family.

We shall conquer the world soon.

Thank you.

Coffee is our competition
in this business.

We should take over them and crush them.

I appreciate it…

but we should be our only competitors.

If we better ourselves
every second and move ahead…

we shall be on the top eventually.

You are truly a Miss India.

You came from some remote part of India,

and now, you are going to rule
the American business world.

Simply great!

I only have one goal.

Brands such as McDonald's, KFC, Starbucks

started small in some remote areas,

but today, they've become global brands.

Miss India should become a brand as well.

Everyone in America must know this brand.

Miss India is not about me.

Miss India is a brand.

Samyuktha.

This woman is the reason
for our today's meeting.

She started a business with chai.

It was a company that didn't
even have a dollar as a turnover.

And now, it is at a stage
where it is competing with us.

If we don't control Miss India,

it will surpass the KSK brand someday.

Any ideas?

Seasonal sales offers?

Celebrity brand ambassador?

Cross promotions, sir?

Discounts?

Offering discount means sabotaging
the value of our own product.

Price fall of our product
means our downfall.

And we can't afford to have the downfall.

We should lure the customers.

A woman should be taken
down by another woman.

Make sure our KSK outlets
have hot girls every Saturday.

Every coffee that's ordered should
be served by a bikini-clad woman.

Put an offer stating that the one
who pays the highest bill

would get a chance to take a selfie
with the woman of their choice.

For every guy who works
hard the entire week…

KSK outlets should become their
only form of weekend entertainment.

That way, we can target the Americans…

as well as the Indians who are
the prime base for Miss India.

We'd target all of them
to lure them toward us.

Not only that, come up with a lucky draw.

Announce the prize money of…

one million dollars to the lucky
winners who drink our coffee.

Wow! You are a genius, Kailash!

So, it's not going to be
a Saturday from now on.

It's going to be a KSK.

-And here's your golden chai.
-Thank you.

-You can give the KSK bill to her.
-Sure.

-And this is your takeaway.
-Thank you.

-Hi.
-Hi.

Can you tell me about the offers?

-So, do you have the KSK bill with you?
-No.

Okay.

If you give us the KSK bill,
you get the signature chai for free.

And then, that's our masala chai,
tandoori chai and this is dum chai.

-Okay. I'll come back with the KSK bill.
-Sure, thanks.

Hi, guys! This is Manasa Samyuktha.

And if you really like our chai,

please visit Bloomberg and vote
for us in the ongoing competition.

And I would love to know your
feedback, comments…

anything that you would
want to share with us.

So please, put it in the feedback box
which is right there.

So, are you guys enjoying our chai?

-Yes!
-Yes!

We have been working on our
new marketing strategies

to counter our competition.

We shall update you by tonight, sir.

Sir, they have started something called…

the "Miss India Day"
just like our KSK Day.

It looks like we were the ones
who gave them the idea, sir.

I think we need to stop this.

These promotions aren't needed as we've
already been established in the market.

I'd heard the adage that a fox burnt
itself in stripes to resemble a lion.

But now, I actually got to witness it.

Miss India is just a start-up.

If this dents us financially,
it's not such a big deal.

But they will not be able to handle the
loss they'll incur by giving free chai.

And eventually,
they won't be able to compete with us.

They'd unofficially accept the defeat by
realizing our popularity among the public.

Forget it.

By the way, keep continuing
this offer for one more week.

Also, make grand arrangements
for the lucky draw contest

on the day of our company's anniversary.

-Sure, sir.
-Take care!

-Namaste.
-Namaste.

Have some more.

Okay. That's it.

What are you thinking about?

I forgot something.

What did I forget?

Do you have the KSK bill?

-KSK bill?
-Yes.

This one, right?

-Bijju!
-Yes, ma'am?

-Please, serve special chai here.
-Okay, ma'am.

This is the special chai
made exclusively for you.

Taste it and tell me how it is.

Wonderful! Divine!

Why have you come alone?

I mean, why didn't anyone else
come along with you?

-Who else were you expecting?
-Your wife and son.

I don't know. Perhaps, they were busy.

What about your daughter?

If you don't mind…
could you give me another cup of chai?

I love it!

Certainly!

KSK and CO extends a warm
welcome to each and everyone here.

We all have gathered here to pick
the lucky draw winner from the pool.

From several thousands of entries,
we have shortlisted a few.

And now, I invite the Managing Director
of the company Mr. Kailash Shiva Kumar.

KSK Coffee has been and is
the best beverage company in the U.S.

Some companies have come up
with some cheap beverages…

but KSK remains in
the hearts of Americans.

As a token of
appreciation for their loyalty,

we are conducting this competition

and giving away the lucky
prize to the lucky winner.

And the number of the lucky winner is…

9-1-1-2-3-3.

Can I see the lucky winner, please?

So, Mr. Kailash Shiva Kumar…

are you shocked…
to see me as the winner of your contest?

The risk I took to compete
with you has made me the winner…

and allowed me to stand
here on this stage with you.

My dad was one of the members
who drank your coffee.

I inherited his luck.

This will settle the expenses
of last month's free chai.

On top of that, I made profits.

I would consider this a donation.

What did you say? "Chai is a cheap drink!"

Let me tell you something.

Among the people who have tasted
KSK Coffee and Miss India chai,

90 percent of them have outrightly
voted for Miss India chai.

So, looks like chai has
a place in this coffee land.

I am not just a lucky winner
of this lucky draw contest.

I am also going to be
the winner of the competition

between tea and coffee in the coming days.

Remember that. Selfie, please.

Thank you!

In the ongoing neck and neck competition
between KSK Coffee and Miss India chai,

Manasa Samyuktha has come out

with flying colors putting
KSK in a big question mark.

It will be interesting to
see what his next move is.

Keep watching for more updates.

Chai… the fastest growing business!

Miss India!

Fantastic!

Truly fantastic!

You know…
when I started my coffee business,

it took me more than two
years to attain this position.

But you did it within two months.

Wow!

That's truly a great achievement!

I had told you on that very day… my
tea is ten times better than your coffee.

I'm sorry. I couldn't properly
understand you that day.

I don't think you even tried
to understand me that day.

Look, past is like a dream.

We should forget the past just
like we forget our dreams,

but shouldn't linger around it.

That is when you achieve success in life.

That is my philosophy.

But what is the motive
behind approaching me…

even when my business
is nowhere near yours?

Excuse me.
Can I have a cup of chai, please?

Samyuktha…

it's difficult to manipulate
a sharp person like you.

I'll come straight to the point.

This is a blank check.

Write the amount you want.

If that's not enough,
you'll get a partnership in the company.

But make sure your business runs
under the name of my company.

I want your brand, Miss India,
to be associated with my name.

You were the one who told me that tea
and coffee cannot go together, right?

Similarly, Samyuktha and Kailash
will never go together.

How dare you offer me
a partnership in my own business!

You have observed me closely,
and you know about me very well.

Despite that,
you came here with such a proposal.

I don't know if this is your
clever move or a foolish move.

The struggle is not an item…

that you can purchase
from a store and own it.

This is an empire which I have built by
working hard, Mr. Kailash Shiva Kumar.

It belongs only to me.

I'm ready to become a villain of anyone's
life to become the hero of my life.

That includes your life as well.
There won't be any compromise in this.

Remember something.

You came this far by
being under the radar.

But now, you've got my attention.
Let's see how far you can go!

I came this far with my hard work.

Not out of your mercy!

You should remember that.

I will see how long you can hold on
to that confidence and arrogance!

-Hey, hi.
-Hi!

Why had Kailash come to our cafe?

To buy Miss India.

I told him it would never
happen and sent him away.

Kailash is a very… dangerous man.

Even when we're not doing
anything wrong in life,

there are a certain people
whom we should fear.

And Kailash is the first
person among them.

Anyway, from now on,

we have to think carefully
before taking any step.

Okay. Forget it.

Be ready tomorrow evening at six o'clock.

I am going to give you
a special treat, okay?

-Bye.
-Bye

-Hi
-Please, have a seat.

Sweet.

-Wow! It's beautiful, Vikram!
-Yeah.

-Thank you.
-It truly looks like a special treat.

So, is this your first?

What?

First candlelit dinner?

Of course, it is.

What about you?

This is my first
candlelit dinner with you.

You didn't tell me the occasion.

-It's my birthday.
-Happy birthday, Vikram!

Thank you so much.

I make new resolution
on my every birthday.

So, for this year,
I have made my resolution.

What is it?

To get married.

Congratulations! Who is that lucky girl?

I've always lived my life by
believing in logic and reasons.

But ever since I met you, I've learned
to believe in the emotions. So, now…

I want to start a new life… with you.

Only if you are interested.

Vikram…

you are a very special person in my life.

You believed in me and my business.
You have invested a lot of money in it.

What I am trying to say is…
this is all because of you.

But I don't have anything in
my heart except Miss India.

This is my entire world right now.

I neither have time to think
about anything else…

nor any interest.

If I've hurt you…

I am really sorry.

Six months!

It's been a successful six-months
run for Miss India in America.

And the credit for all this goes to

our founder and managing director,
Miss Manasa Samyuktha.

Thank you.

Let's talk about our performance now.

Though nine percent profit is a big number

for our investment in
a span of six months,

we are facing a deficit of 16 percent to
achieve the projected 25 percent profits.

So, there is a pretty good chance.

But even if we perform
extraordinarily from now on,

we might not achieve our year-end target.

Actually, even if we perform normally,

we have a chance to achieve
our year-end target.

But there is a risk involved in it.

Two days ago,
we got a mail on our company account.

A business proposal from the BMC dealers.

-What is the proposal?
-For the next six months,

we'll have to deliver three
shipments of the material

within a month to the BMC Solutions.

But this is on the credit basis.

If we sign this deal,

we would be getting 30 percent
of the profits from the BMC alone.

Our company can't afford to deliver
the material on the credit basis.

It is very risky. We cannot go against
the policies for the sake of profits.

We all know that there is
a risk involved, Vikram.

If we continue to ignore these kinds of
proposals, we cannot grow this business.

Let's do a background check once,

and if we think it's really
safe, I think we can go ahead.

Okay, if you are convinced,
I don't have an issue.

But remember one thing,

one mistake and I'm out of this business.

Nayana, go ahead and start
the process tomorrow.

Sure.

-Hello, Samyuktha.
-Yes, Nayana.

I've just finished the inquiry
about the BMC dealers' track record.

-What does it say?
-The feedback is very positive.

I think it's safe.

-Great! Let's finalize the deal then.
-Okay.

Miss India is very happy and privileged
to be associated with the BMC.

Same here. I hope our
association will last very long.

Sure, it will.

Yeah, Preethi?

Samyuktha, the first paycheck
given by Richard has bounced.

What?

I had warned you about this deal, but you
didn't pay heed and took this decision.

Three shipments! In these three shipments,

we've shipped the material worth
eight lakh dollars to them.

The first paycheck given
by Richard has bounced.

That means… we need to consider that our
present running capital is almost zero.

If we don't get out of this problem soon,

we might need to wind up the business!

The employees have figured out
that the company is in trouble.

We didn't even pay them
the last month's salary.

Many of them have already resigned.

But those employees who
still have faith in us

said that they would
wait another ten days.

If we don't settle their accounts in the
next ten days, they will leave as well.

I just spoke to the credit
insurance company.

They told me that they'd offer help in
returning the amount as soon as possible.

But we didn't get it insured, right?

We didn't get it insured… but I did.

The money we would be getting
now isn't ours… it's mine!

When I give my money to you,

I can't just afford to simply
watch whatever you do with that.

That is why, I took this precaution.

Vikram, please give me one last chance.

The employees are starting
to leave the company.

I must uphold the trust
those people have in me.

I will ensure that I don't
repeat this mistake.

I promise.

Samyuktha…

I never broke the rules I made for myself.

But I did that for the first
time, for you.

I didn't know who you were
and what your background was.

And yet, I invested so much
money into your business.

That was the first favor I did for you.

But you didn't uphold
that trust I placed in you.

But now, you have to return my
money as per our agreement.

And along with that, you must give
me your brand, Miss India, as well.

But I am not asking you to do that.

This is the second favor
that I've done for you.

But now, you are asking for
my help for the third time.

In fact, I do want to help you.

Do you know why?

Because I am very fond of you.

And you know that.

When a person offers help to someone
who is not at all associated with him,

you must understand how much love
he must have for that person.

If you can't understand,

there is no use no matter
how many times I offer help.

Favor?

Vikram…

approaching you for the investment…

is an opportunity that
I created for myself.

Investing in my business was your choice.

It means, it was purely a business deal.

When it comes to the second
favor that you mentioned,

there are still three months left for
our agreement's validity to expire.

It's not yet over.

If you help me in getting out
of the current situation…

then, yes.
That would also be called a "favor."

I will return your money
along with the interest, very soon.

Goodbye.

Ma'am…

all these days, we made a living
out of the salary you gave us.

And we won't desert you just because
you are in a tough phase, ma'am.

They say that sharing the problems
relieves us from the sorrow.

I've been with you in your good times.

Let me be with you in
these tough times as well.

Whether you give me my salary or
no, I'll always be with you.

I heard about it.

I am deeply saddened by
your state of affairs.

Had you sold your company to me that day,

you wouldn't have been
facing this problem today.

Well, Miss Samyuktha…

business is not a game for women.

Business is war.

Every minute, danger keeps stalking it.

And half of our strength gets
wasted in warding off the dangers.

You are a mere girl.
What do you know about this?

You assumed that just because
I am a girl I wouldn't know!

Do you even know
what a girl is capable of?

If you give her a house,
she will give you a family.

If you give her groceries,
she will give you food.

If you give her happiness,
she will return it with love.

If you give her love,
she will give you a new life.

Whatever you give her,
she always returns double of that.

Whether it's good or bad.

You seem to be quiet now.

You've mocked me stating that a girl
doesn't know anything about business.

Now, I'm telling you as that same girl.

Be ready to face double the amount of
trouble you have given me, Mr. Kailash.

The words of women don't make any sense

They don't make any sense at all

I never expected that we
would have to face this day

after establishing Miss India
with so much effort, Samyuktha.

Signing the deal in which a huge
risk was involved is not a mistake…

but I'm sure there has been an error
somewhere in my calculations.

Where is Nayana?

I don't know, Samyuktha.
I haven't seen her since two days.

And she isn't replying to my
calls and messages either.

I didn't tell you because I didn't
want you to go through more stress.

Excuse me! Have you seen this person?

-No.
-Thank you.

Samyuktha, I checked Nayana's landline
call records as per your instructions.

The last call she made was
to Mandalay Bay Hotel.

Betrayal has been a practice
since the times of Mahabharata.

I won't ask you why you did this.

What is it that you have
gained from doing this to me?

It's simple, Samyuktha.

Every person is greedy.

It is the greed to be more successful
than the people around them.

But not everyone gets such an opportunity.

I got that opportunity, and I used it.

Your name is Padma Nayana.
Your place of birth is Hyderabad.

Your mother is a homemaker,
and your father is a mechanical engineer.

You have done an MBA, but you are doing
a petty job in your friend's company.

Your ambition is to become
a reporter in the BBC news channel.

Am I right?

Nayana, let me tell you something
that has benefited me…

and that is going to benefit you now.

If you don't build your dreams, someone
will hire you to build their dreams.

It means, if we don't work
hard to fulfill our dreams…

we will end up working hard
to fulfill someone else's dream.

I will give you an opportunity.

If you do as I say…

you will be paid an amount you would
have never imagined in your lifetime.

I will fulfill…

your lifelong ambition of securing
a permanent job as a BBC reporter.

What do I need to do?

I am not hurt that you have betrayed me.

I am feeling bad for the fact
that I can no longer trust you.

Miss Samyuktha, how did
your own friend betray you?

Miss Samyuktha, is it due to your own
decision that you landed in trouble?

Miss Samyuktha, why haven't
you doubted Nayana before?

Miss Samyuktha, could you tell
us what happened in detail?

A guy couldn't stand to see
a woman doing business.

He tried to suppress her.

So, are you out of business?

I am born to do business!

Business is not a monopoly.

It is my birthright.

All these days, I've heard
people say business is war,

but I never took it seriously.

But I am telling you now…

business is war.

Here are the witnesses of the conspiracies
of Mr. Kailash Shiva Kumar.

I demand the jurisdiction to give him
a deserved price for his criminal deeds.

As the media, we'll do everything within
our capacity to bring this to justice.

But how is your company doing?
Reports say that you are broke.

With your permission,
I would like to make a special request.

Whoever recognizes
the struggles of a woman…

whoever desires the victory
of good over evil…

whoever loves the taste of chai…

whoever believes that there
is truth in my words…

I am requesting them to lend
their possible financial help.

Each and every one who helps us shall
become a shareholder of Miss India.

And we will share our
profits in the future.

All that I can say is…

I need your help.

Thank you.

It's simple, Samyuktha.

In a shocking revelation,

Manasa Samyuktha submits recorded evidence

against the conspiracy
done by Kailash and Nayana.

You'd said that you'd return home
the day we truly realize your worth.

We have realized it now,
so we have come to you.

I didn't feel as much pain when I
realized that I can't be a doctor…

as I am feeling today for not realizing…

the worth of my talented…

and intelligent daughter.

Mom, I left the house
to fulfill my dreams…

not because I was mad at you.

If I have hurt you in any way…
I am really sorry.

All these days,
we couldn't share your problems.

But at least now, we got that opportunity.

Miss India!

India.

I really miss India.

Samyuktha, look here.

We have already begun to get funds.

It's 60,000 and it's still counting.
Unbelievable!

Ma'am… look over there.

We are always with Miss India.

Thank you.

I have taken a new step

In my little world

The bright light of my dreams

Shows me such miraculous wonders

I have taken a new step

In my little world

The bright light…

Excuse me, ma'am.
Can I have another cup of chai, please?

Shows me such miraculous wonders

Miss Samyuktha,

as the Business Woman of the Year,
what is your message for today's youth?

The most valuable thing in
this world is your goal.

If you realize your goal, value and dream,

just get it.

If you don't realize it,
then your life is not worth living.

We are not meant to fear God…

or our college professors
or even the society.

We must fear the thought

that this world will never get
to know the hero within you.

Life is an opportunity.

It is a chance to prove yourself.

Just prove it.

Awake, arise, and don't stop
until you achieve your goal.

Thank you.

There is no defeat
Tomorrow is mine

It's a short life
Spend it with freedom

Forget all your troubles

There is someone within you that isn't you

Leave it behind
Take a new step and never stop

Hey, brother! Serve me a cup of chai.

The words of women make sense

But you don't pay attention

Oh, my God! What should we do now?

I had told you that a woman
will always increase your profits.

I've added a thousand dollars to the
thousand dollar check that you gave me.

Enjoy it!

Thank you, Miss India.

Cheers.

Wow!

Thank you!

Now, do you know the difference
between my chai and your coffee?

Every cup of coffee in your
KSK outlet is made with money.

But here, at Miss India,
every cup of chai is made with love.

Had I understood this before…

I wouldn't have been in this situation.

You still have time, Mr. Kailash.

You had told me that business is war.

Start the war again.

With your luck.

That's the spirit!
