(water splashes)

(Little Pearl) Come on, Cherry!

Come on. Yeah, good boy.

Come on, yeah, good boy. Go, go, fetch, Cherry.

(glass breaks)

RASCAL!

(Pearl's father) You good for nothing rat!

You are going to pay for that now.

(whacking and grunting)

(Title song)

j& In intentions, there's obsession j&

j& In emotions, there's obsession j&

j& Obsession j&

j& Pure Obsession! j&

-Hey Sebi! -Yeah?

Hey Sebi, hurry up!

We are running terribly behind schedule today.

(speaking in Marathi) Give me two minutes?

(Sebi's mother) Come on, hurry up!

-(Sebi's mother) We need to rush! -(phone rings)

Ugh! Damn it.

-Let met get that. -Yeah, check.

Everybody has to call at the wrong time.

(Sebi's mother) See, it's there.

Hello!

-(Brandy) Subhash? -Yeah.

-Hey Sebi! -(Brandy) This is Brandy.

(Brandy) The producer of Dance Meri Jaan.

Yes, Sir?

My new season is kicking off,

and I am going to launch you as a dancer.

(Brandy) I need a three-month commitment from you.

(Brandy) The pay is 10 lakh rupees.

(Brandy) Deal locked?

10 lakhs?

(Brandy) This offer exceeds market standards.

No obligation if you are not interested,

(Brandy) I'll get someone else.

But if you're ready to commit, we need to finalize the contract today.

So, are you in?

Where is that diva of yours Swati.

Who could not hold a straight note for 3 seconds.

(Swati) Sir, I am here.

(footsteps)

Welcome, ma'am.

(chuckles)

It appears that discipline has also taken a backseat

along with your singing.

I am sure you are all wondering why I have summoned you here

after that grammy-winning performance at Pride Fest.

Well, singing in a closed room,

having control over your voice is easy.

And I have seen how you guys go stray on easy paths.

That is why, here,

let's test your projection with the iconic song...

Breathless.

What?

For as long as I play the music, you will sing;

without losing control of your voice or running out of breath.

And till the very end, I should be able to listen to you

loud and clear.

Understand?

YES SIR!

Go!

j& When I met someone, it felt like j&

j& My whole world was filled with songs j&

j& And a downpour of colors, a breeze of fragrance j&

j& Now the air is fragrant j&

j& The winds are intoxicated j&

j& Directions are lost j&

j& Gestures have changed j&

j& Hope has ripe, my heart is racing j&

j& There's a storm in my breath, songs on my lips j&

j& Dreams in my eyes, moments from the past in my dreams j&

j& When someone came and captured my gaze j&

j& and settled in my heart, how do I tell you j&

j& How we connected, j&

j& with lovely curls dropping on their face j&

j& It felt like behind the fog j&

j& A dew-kissed flower bloomed j&

j& A moon that is hidden in the clouds j&

j& Is looking at us from behind the night j&

j& A bright morning j&

j& A morning shining in my eyes j&

j& Like a sea of dreams covered with a blanket of love j&

j& When waves communicate, it's like a rain of pearls j&

j& Like somewhere silver anklets are ringing j&

j& Like somewhere glasses are falling j&

j& And breaking softly like a Sitar plays a tune j&

j& Like someone sings in moonlight j&

j& Like someone pulls you close j&

j& Those words were sweet j&

j& What lovely meetings were those j&

j& When I realized j&

j& How hearts melt when eyes meet j&

j& And how desires meet their destiny j&

j& And how the moon descends to the earth j&

j& How it sometimes feels like heaven is right here j&

j& They told me and taught me j&

j& We were meant to meet like this j&

j& Flowers were meant to bloom like this j&

j& Bonds and relationships of lifetimes j&

j& Whenever we are born, we meet like this j&

j& In my ears, those sweet words rang j&

j& The doors of dreams began to open in my eyes j&

j& The world of dreams was so beautiful j&

j& It was colourful so to say j&

j& But it was nowhere j&

j& When my dreams broke, when my eyes opened j&

j& When I came to consciousness I saw and I understood j&

j& That one who once came, captured my gaze j&

j& Settled in my heart, is now gone j&

j& And my heart is all alone j&

j& Now there are no wishes j&

j& Now there are no desires j&

j& And no dreams j&

j& Now my days and nights j&

j& Are only filled with tears j&

j& and there is only pain and sorrow in them j&

j& And cries for help j&

j& I don't have a companion now j&

j& It's just me and the memories of lost love j&

j& It's just me and the memories of lost love j&

j& It's just me and the memories of lost love j&

(breathes heavily)

(thunder rumbles)

(sobs)

(rain showers)

What happened?

(Gagan) Why did you stop?

Come on, get up!

(Gagan) Get up!

Come on, hit that note higher! Hit it!

Sir I can't.

You can!

That's it?

That's your potential?

Is this what SuperSonics is?

If embarrassment had a face,

(Gagan) this would be it.

(Bikram) Sir, what are you saying?

This is torture!

You can see that we are all trying our best.

Best?!

If you think this is your best,

then both of you, sit at home!

Bloody losers.

What happened?

What are you guys waiting for? Huh?

GET OUT!

(Gagan) GET OUT!

(rain showers)

(door opens)

(Female 1) Can I help you?

Yes ma'am.

Umm, is this the office of 'Dance Meri Jaan', the show?

Are you from the creative team or production?

No, I have come to sign the contract.

-Oh... -Subhash? Hey, hi.

We have been waiting for you.

Your contract is the only one pending. Come.

OK, thank you.

Listen carefully now.

After signing the contract, please collect your ID from here.

Do not forget, or else later on it will be a problem.

Our accounts team is here; you will get your signing amount from here later on.

Whom to send the invoice, on what date, etc. etc.

they will let you know. Alright?

The ops team sits here.

They will tell you the session schedules, timings, holidays,

-and all. -(sobs)

And over here, we have our HR department.

Hopefully, you will never need to visit them.

And finally, Brandy's room is right there

and he is expecting you.

-So yeah, you can go in. -OK, OK, yes. Thank you.

Thank you.

(Sebi) Hello Sir.

Come, take a seat.

Here is the contract, sign it.

Want to read it?

Go ahead, it is just a formality. Take a look.

Sir, in this... uh...

Hmm?

There is an... exclusivity clause,

which means I won't be able to perform anywhere else.

Hmm.

Our college performances should not be a problem, right?

Because, I mean, we have formed a group this year

and we are already set to perform at GOATS.

Son, GOATs is a huge platform.

And you are supposed to be exclusive.

Not possible.

Sir, we have worked hard the entire year for GOATs.

Boss, people spend their whole lives waiting for this opportunity.

You are talking about just one year?

And wasn't this what you have always wanted?

The real stage, the big stage.

So why do you want to go to the competition?

Sir, would it be possible for me to take the contract with me?

I will sign it and return it to you.

That is the problem with you GenZ kids.

If you had not made up your mind, why waste my time?

No, Sir.

I would like to take it home and sign it in in my mother's presence.

(Sebi) If that is alright with you. Please.

Even God bows down to mothers.

(chuckles)

Alright, take it, but bring it back signed tomorrow.

If not, I will have to give the opportunity to someone else.

-You may go. -Okay.

Thank you, Sir.

I do not want to talk to anyone about it, Bikram.

Just go away.

You need not share the problem if you wish,

I can understand it must be something personal,

but if you need any help, I...

I do not need your help. Don't you understand?

You think playing my knight in shining armour

will somehow win you a chance to date me?

I'm sorry, Bikram.

Fuck!

What the hell is this bloody idiot's name?!

Aryan.

And he is threatening me that if I do not meet him again,

he will upload the video.

Seems like a psycho!

(Swati) When we met, I did find him weird.

I mean he showed up in a thong.

But I assumed he is just adventurous.

(Swati) I can go to the police,

but if he gets even a hint of it, everything will fall apart...

(Swati) And now, my dad's entire business relies on my reputation.

Our family's image, our reputation

-everything will be ruined.

I am too scared at this point.

(sighs)

Wait a minute!

The police will help us,

and that moron will not even get a whiff of it.

We have got Salunkhe sir on our side!

Who?

(laughs)

(speaking in Marathi) You will now appear TV,

(speaking in Marathi) maybe we will too...

Hey, I will appear too, right?

(laughs)

Hey, come in Sebi, the Kohinoor of Koliwada! Come in.

Come, bro! Everyone has been waiting for you!

What a surprise? You are all here. Namaste.

Yes, everyone is here to congratulate you!

You are the first guy from our neighbourhood

who will be on TV! Isn't that, right?

Yes!

Yeah, I have been saying that all along!

Yeah, right!

I told you, didn't I, that our Sebi would make a name for himself in dance?

Oh, please, mom! When Sebi used to dance as a kid,

you were the one who used to get the most annoyed, remember?

Never! I told him. Ask him. Isn't it, Sebi?

(speaking in Marathi) Yes, true.

Yes.

(speaking in Marathi) I'll just have some water and be back.

Okay...

Aunty, struggle is over now. It is time for rewards!

Quickly get a new house, OK?

(laughs)

Yes, yes! May your words come true! Everything will happen.

Now, everyone relax, I will bring some tea and snacks.

Sit, sit, sit. -Yes, aunt.

(speaking in Marathi) Are you done? If yes, can we leave!

-Shut up. Let us have some snacks. -Okay, let's sit.

(Female 2 speaking in Marathi) He is always in a rush.

(Female 2) If someone is doing better in life, he gets jealous.

(Female 2 speaking in Marathi) Here, have a biscuit.

(footsteps)

Sebi, you are happy, right?

Yes, I am very happy. Why do you ask?

What did the TV people say?

Nothing, they said nice things.

Sebi, I am your mother.

I can sense what is left unsaid.

They said if I sign up for this show,

I will not be able to perform in any competition.

That means I will not be able to perform even in GOATs with the Misfits.

Now, to fulfil one dream, I will have to give up on another.

I don't know what to do.

You should be happy.

Most people don't even have one dream to fulfil,

and you have two. Right?

(laughs)

How do you even think like that?

You are the only one who thinks like this.

This perspective did not even occur to me.

(laughs)

Whatever you choose,

I will always be with you. Hmm.

I am a bit crazy, an overthinker.

I am blessed with an amazing mom,

and if my dreams do not bring her joy,

then what is the purpose of chasing them?

Now I know what I need to do.

You are just like your father.

He would always say,

'I'll do anything for your happiness, Shailu'

(laughs)

And you would always say,

'My happiness lies in your happiness.'.

(laughs)

(speaking in Marathi) My sweet mother.

(sobs)

(speaking in Marathi) My child.

(sobs)

Look, Sebi, it is a no-brainer.

Opportunities like these will come a hundred times,

but if Misfits falls apart, it will never come back together.

Don't you have any faith in yourself at all?

It is not about faith in myself, Shona.

I had faith in myself at the Pride Festival too.

What happened there?

-You are unnecessarily arguing, Sebi! -I am arguing unnecessarily?

-Yes, you are! -Fine then!

You cannot just leave Misfits

-like that, Sebi! -OK, I'll not leave;

I will not abandon Misfits.

But tell me, what about my mom?

She is my family, my everything.

She has been there for me since childhood, doing everything for me.

This is not your last chance, Sebi. You will get many more offers after this.

Who says that? Where is it written?

People like me do not get multiple chances!

You will just say anything, won't you, Sebi?

You think I'm bullshitting.

You know what is your problem? Listen up!

You have no idea what my life is like.

You have never been in my shoes.

Do you know what my reality is?

Your mom has never had to work as a maid in someone else's home, has she?

Has she ever had to make meals for others to earn a living?

If my mom does not work for a month, we will go hungry.

That is our struggle.

You have no idea what opportunities mean to us?

Have you ever dealt with a burst pipe in your house, a flooded home?

No! You cannot relate.

It is easy for you to talk from your penthouse, driving your Mercedes.

Try stepping into my shoes!

I thought you were someone

who would not hide behind your circumstances.

But that is exactly what you are doing, Sebi.

What am I doing? What am I doing?

And until now, you had no issues with my penthouse.

But the moment I spoke some truth; you immediately attacked my status.

You think I am attacking your status?

Everyone was right.

What was everyone right about?

It's only a matter of time before Sebi calls out your privilege.

And, you know what, they were absolutely right!

(poignant music)

(sobs)

(indistinct chatter)

(phone rings)

Sir, sir, I did not do anything!

-Oh, really? You did nothing? -Salunkhe Sir.

Hey, Sonu Nigam!

Check this out, we have got another legendary singer here!

Watch how he sings. What did you say?

You 'accidentally' stole the mobile.

You think the police are idiots?

-(slaps) -(shouts) AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!.

Did you hear that?

Isn't he a phenomenal singer!

-(Salunkhe) Deshpande. -(Deshpande) Yes.

Take this guy away.

Move it. Get up. Scram!

Tell me! What is the latest trouble you have managed to get yourselves into?

No trouble, Sir!

Swati here is my friend.

Oh, the one from the disco?

Yes, Sir.

Sir, Swati is being seriously harassed by someone.

-Really? -Yes.

Tell me, what happened?

I can't believe Gagan did something like this!

You know, I really don't know where the SuperSonics are headed.

But anyway, how are you feeling?

Today is your first commercial recording.

(exhales heavily)

Quite nervous. Just hope I reach on time, that is all.

Just enjoy the feeling.

-Thank you. -I'm so happy for you.

Thanks.

(phone rings)

Hello.

What?

Why?

OK.

What happened?

I just got a call from the studio.

(Charu) They have cancelled my recording.

What? Why?

I have no idea; they did not give me any reason.

They just said that Naveen Sir said they cannot record with me.

Naveen uncle... of course!

He is the studio owner and Dad's friend.

I am sure Dad must have called him and persuaded him not to record with you.

And he would never go against Dad's wishes,

given the amount of business Dad brings his way.

I just cannot believe Dad has stooped this low.

I thought I could just forget this incident like a bad dream

and focus on my career.

But your dad wants to ruin that too.

(sighs)

Every time I get close to my dreams,

some guy comes along and ruins it.

People assume our silence to be our weakness.

And I am saying it again,

forget that he is my dad.

Let's do this. Let's take him down.

Do not worry,

we have taken care of many such scoundrels before.

Just give me his phone number and go home and sleep peacefully.

We will handle him.

But sir, I am really scared...

what if he uploads my video?

-Can I wait here until he is caught? -(message beeps)

No, no, do not worry. There is nothing to fear.

(Salunkhe) He will not dare do anything.

(Salunkhe) We encounter people like him all the time.

(Salunkhe) Just go home, focus on your studies, and forget about this.

-Okay? -(message beeps)

Sir, he is messaging me again. How can I just go home like this?

Alright.

Call him over.

What?

He thinks he is above the law, doesn't he?

We'll teach him a lesson he will never forget.

(waves crashing)

(poignant music)

(glass breaks)

(suspenseful music)

(water drips)

(fan spins)

(door opens)

(Sebi) Gagan Sir.

(door closes)

Just when you thought the adventures for today were over.

Sorry, my bad. I forgot to knock again.

What do you want, Sebi?

How do you do it, sir? I just want to know.

(Sebi) You started from zero, from scratch.

You worked so hard, struggled so much, and kept moving forward.

You built a huge name for yourself, Gagan Ahuja,

and created a massive empire,

only to leave it all behind and start again.

And yet, you have so much fight left in you.

Doesn't it ever cross your mind, it must sometimes,

that maybe all this is not worth it?

And when it does, what do you do?

What goes through your mind? Please tell me, sir, I really want to know.

(chuckles)

Everything comes at the cost of something, Sebi.

That's very well said.

(Gagan) Sometimes, the cost of chasing your dreams is so high

that the dream itself starts to feel unworthy.

Exactly! But what do you do during such times, sir?

Sacrifice.

(chuckles)

There are many kinds of dreams, Sebi.

Big, small.

(Gagan) Long-term, short-term.

Those of our dear ones, and those of our own...

(sighs)

For the bigger dreams, you must sacrifice the smaller ones.

For the long-term ones, you must let go of the short-term ones.

And for the sake of those of our loved ones...

(chuckles)

sometimes, you must sacrifice your own dreams.

Otherwise, like me,

you will be left with a lifetime of regret.

Wow,

I never thought that someone as successful as

you would be holding so many regrets in life.

(clicks his tongue)

But there is one thing I don't regret.

(dynamic music)

Taking my art to the world.

Success is most times driven not by talent,

but the choice the talent makes.

Nature has made you an artist, so grab every opportunity man.

Because there is no better high than having people say -

you made it.

(poignant music)

(footsteps)

(sighs)

(Mak) Removing nails took more effort than hammering, didn't it?

Taking action in anger is easy,

but to mend the relationships we ruin,

it takes far more effort.

And even after that, the cracks that form in relationships

never fully go away.

(sobs)

I have hurt a lot of people.

Because of my anger.

I have been terrible.

(breathes heavily)

Now, you can either focus on these cracks

or see the light shining through them.

This is the wisdom you have gained from the effort of removing nails.

From now on, whenever you get angry, remember this.

So you can base your actions on this wisdom, not on anger.

Thank you so much for this.

(breathes heavily)

You know, I am who I am

because of my father.

And maybe he was who he was

because of his own past.

So nobody knows where this chain started.

But I will make sure it ends with me.

(sobs)

I won't pass this on to anyone else.

Your journey here seems to be complete.

(chuckles)

(sobs)

(Kritika) Don't you think you're being a little too harsh on the SuperSonics?

(Gagan) Harsh? Huh!

(Gagan) You have not seen their Pride Festival performance?

You and Meera can do reels better than that.

(chuckles)

For 15 years, the SuperSonics, led by Iyer Sir, have won the GOATs trophy.

Losing this year would be a stain on Gagan Ahuja's legacy,

and I can't let that happen.

Hmm... looks like it is more about Gagan Ahuja than SuperSonics, no?

Look, uncle, what I have made.

Well done, child!

You did not even look!

Yes, yes, superb, very good. Fantastic!

What did you say? What are you saying?

I must win the GOATs trophy at any cost, understand?

And I'm going to push them individually for that.

(piano music)

Uncle, look! I made ponytails on it!

-Uncle, please look! Isn't it funny? -Yes?

Very nice, kid. It is! So funny!

(laughs)

Until they master these sheets, I will not let them take a break.

I know they have the potential.

I will give Swati straight notes with the violin.

(piano music)

And Adah... Adah has to sing on a higher note.

She has the potential. She doesn't know that,

-and I'm going to make her tap into it. -Uncle... Uncle... look na.

(Gagan) And Bikram... He has the true potential.

-Uncle... -(hums)

Yes, very nice kid.

(Meera) Uncle...

Uncle, see now how this has become.

Uncle, please look.

Stop bothering me! What is it?! What do I do with this?!

Huh?! What?! I just said it is good!

(Kritika) Gagan.

How many times did I tell you it is okay.

It is a great drawing, very good!

(Kritika) What is wrong with you? She is a baby.

Come here baby, come.

Get a grip on yourself.

Or else you will lose everything you came back for.

Thank you, Mak.

You're most welcome.

(breathes heavily)

I have something for you.

Fit to work?

Absolutely. Can you believe it?

There is one more thing.

Now that you've learned to cope with your past...

Oh my god! For me?

Yeah.

(sighs)

(laughs)

Thank you.

I can't thank you enough for this. Thank you so much.

Have a good life, Pearl.

Thank you.

(eagle screeches)

Sebs, ready?

(clears his throat)

Let's go.

Hello everybody, welcome to The Safe Room with Kush.

Today, I have a special guest who wants to talk about destiny and choices.

He had to make a difficult decision that impacted many lives,

including mine.

However, that decision was his choice,

his right.

And there is nothing wrong about it.

Today, I won't speak much.

All yours, bro!

Choosing between right and wrong in life is easy.

Anyone can do that.

But here, you must choose between two rights.

That is what is tough.

(Sebi) I have two dreams.

Fate has not given me much,

but it has given me one incredible thing -my mother.

(Sebi) She is the best.

(Sebi) First dream

is to give my mother everything.

I want her to stay at home, live a comfortable life,

(Sebi) not work too hard, relax,

travel in a car with AC.

I want to buy her gifts,

a beautiful sari, the style that she likes, you know?

The second dream is the one I have given to others.

(Sebi) They adopted my dream as their own,

worked hard, put in efforts.=

(Sebi) And even made sacrifices to achieve it.

(Sebi) Now, I must choose between these two dreams.

This was the situation, and I had to decide.

I have made my choice, but I do not know if it is right or wrong.

I do not know what people will think.

Will my friends

be upset or happy,

I don't know?

I want my loved ones to understand,

(Sebi) but will they?

Yesterday, someone told me a wise thing -

everything comes at the cost of something.

It is true; nothing in life is free.

Every choice has a cost.

If I must pay this price

for my mother's happiness,

I will do it.

A hundred times over.

(thunder rumbles)

(Sebi) This decision is not easy for me;

it is extremely difficult.

(Sebi) But there is a voice in my head telling me that

what I have done is right.

Don't do this. Don't do this.
