Original subtitles

-That's wonderful! -Thank you.

Shaukat has given a new definition to the art of writing.

And only I can redefine it.

Shaukat and I were no longer the same.

You might think that I'm kidding.

But I honestly don't have any more words left to say.

I've already penned down what I had in mind.

Now, I'll start writing my next book.

I will be authoring something interesting, yet again.

And last but not the least...

Thank you.

We'll be eagerly waiting for Shaukat's new novel.

Shaukat's new novel lacks experience.

Experiences can be different. They cannot be measured.

This time, Shaukat's work has not been good enough.

His words seem to have gone astray.

That was exactly my intention.

Please tell me.

Can you tell me what reality is?

Shaukat's isolated life is affecting his characters.

What's the truth?

No one can relate to these characters.

As humans, we have a tendency to live in denial.

I don't write for the sake of it.

Writing is my sole purpose in life.

I'll write over and over again.

And I'll prove it to you.

My characters are not fake!

-It's a lie. -It's an illusion.

Shaukat Vashist's novel is nothing but a lie.

-All of it is a lie. -It's an illusion. A lie!

There's nothing genuine about the novel.

Lies!

-This story is unreal! -It's a fake story.

Shaukat Vashist's novel...

I am ready, Antra.

Of course, you are.

Shaukat, shall we go out this evening--

I am ready to write again.

A new novel. Really?

Yesterday, at college--

It will be very exciting.

I'll be engrossed with the characters of my new novel.

A new world, altogether.

I wish you could experience it.

What have you named it?

What's the subject?

Look.

The laundryman is an idiot. He can't even iron it properly.

Ramakant!

Why does this happen, Antra?

They are not passionate about their work.

They are reckless.

Why can't people be serious about work?

You were telling me something about your new novel.

Don't worry, I won't scold Ramakant.

So far, with regards to the novel there's nothing worth talking about.

I will surely start writing today.

After two years!

Shaukat, what are you--

Tell me, what should I wear?

Tell me! What I should I wear?

After two years!

I will surely start writing today.

Ramakant!

Coming, sir!

-Yes? -What is this?

Who did this?

I did it.

It looks better now.

I'm sorry, sir. It's her first day at work.

Why are you apologizing?

Sir...

she is my wife.

I must apologize on her behalf.

He's right.

I don't mind apologizing if I know that I'm wrong.

She asked me to clean the room.

That's what I did. What's the issue?

She's not aware of it. It's her first day at work.

-If she does this again-- -I won't.

But what's the issue?

-Rajni, actually-- -Let me tell you.

If someone walks into your kitchen

and rearranges...

the designated place of the utensils,

how would you feel?

Antra! Shut the door when you leave.

Rajni. Don't move anything in the study.

Just sweep and mop the floor, that's all.

Okay?

-Let's go. -Let everything lie around?

Let's go.

Okay.

If something gets rearranged in my kitchen,

I scold my husband.

Listen to me.

Do you scold your husband?

Yes.

If he is at fault.

Who is at fault?

Who decides that?

How are you?

Dissatisfied, like always?

I'm Shaukat Vashist.

I'm about to start writing my new novel today.

I'll tell you about the subject at the right time, Mrs. Bose.

I am not Mrs. Bose.

Where is Mrs. Bose?

Mrs. Bose is not in the office at the moment.

Fine! Let her know that Shaukat had called.

She'll be happy.

And--

The world is full of disgusting people.

People change after they get successful.

Women!

It's not easy to understand women.

Have I understood them?

This time, I'll write something about a woman.

Her emotions. Her desires.

Nothing about the relationships that define her.

I'll write only about her. It's going to be her story.

Who is she?

-Listen to me. -What is it?

-You might fall down. -Why are you scared?

I am not scared.

You've been working for him. You don't have to be afraid of him.

He won't eat you up.

He needs to focus on his writing.

You don't understand.

You worry too much!

Hey!

Don't disturb him, he'll get angry.

Stay right here.

Hold this.

Stay right there.

-He's such a coward! -My wife is weird!

A woman!

Big dreamy eyes.

Or, small...

naughty eyes.

Curled tresses.

Or perhaps, straight hair.

Missing smile and a sad face.

Or a radiant face, almost like the sun.

She has traveled the seven seas.

Or wishes to travel the seven seas.

Desires.

Desires.

Desires.

Desires.

Love.

Hi, Tamanna.

I'm...

Shaukat.

Will you come with me?

Let's pen down your saga, together.

Let's see what happens.

Tamanna.

That's a nice name.

Tamanna, where are you going?

I asked you to come with me.

But you are racing ahead of me.

Where are you taking me?

On a new journey?

Do you want to tell me something?

Talk to me, Tamanna.

What do you like?

Are you happy? Are you sad?

Are you angry?

What do you want from life, Tamanna?

Lady finger, bottle gourd, kidney beans.

What are we going to do with all these vegetables?

Don't worry, you won't have to cook all of them.

You can go.

I don't mind cooking.

The food I prepare should be consumed.

Look at this.

You didn't eat.

Did I ask you why you came late?

-I was-- -Checking the papers, I know.

When I'm writing I don't keep track of time. You know that.

Will you help me in the kitchen?

Where do you get such nice ideas from?

If someone asks me about my life

I won't be able to express it in words.

Because you don't try.

Try?

No matter what I do,

I won't be able to write a single line.

And those people have a lot to say.

Who?

I don't know anything about how real it is.

But what you've written is very nice.

They'll realize it when they will write something.

I know it is difficult to pen down reality.

This time, everyone is going to be amazed.

Will that make you happy?

My happiness lies in yours.

You must focus on your own happiness.

What makes you happy?

Me?

Don't laugh, answer me.

I don't know. I never thought about it.

Think about it, Antra.

Does cooking make you happy?

Prayer?

Prayer!

Okay.

Have you ever done something...

that you shouldn't have?

Yes, many a times--

I don't mean petty qualms, quarrels or trivial things like coming home late.

Something that changed your life.

Life?

Don't you regret getting married?

Because you can't pursue the things that you could have.

Are you really asking me that?

Don't you miss your parents and your home?

No.

I am a very ordinary girl, Shaukat.

Why are you searching for a story through me?

Don't you ever feel like being looked at

from a different point of view, other than mine?

Really?

What if you meet someone and he says...

that there's no one like you?

Has anyone said it?

Are they scared?

Who?

What do you mean?

I mean, had I been your student...

I would've given you a rose every day.

None of your students do that?

No.

I would never accept a rose from any of my students.

Why?

It's wrong.

Why?

Because I am a lecturer, and they are my students.

I was your lecturer as well.

That's different.

You are elder to me.

What if I was younger?

Then my husband would have been a professor.

It's wrong.

Is it wrong to be the younger one?

But for me...

it's wrong to accept a rose from someone else.

Because I love you Shaukat.

Wrong.

I found my subject.

No.

Things that are forbidden.

That's my theme.

Boundaries are never desirable.

But when something is out of boundaries, we automatically get attracted to it.

When a relationship is not justifiable,

it gets stronger.

Don't you want to have such a relationship, Tamanna?

I'm sure you do.

That's your desire.

A relationship that is not acceptable to the others.

The beginning.

After two years.

The body is

Just a medium

The souls

The souls need to unite

Ever since we held

Each other's hands

I felt the world

In my palms

Love is the beginning

All over again

We are coming closer

And alleviating the distance

A story

A story is being weaved

A story is being weaved

The words are missing

And the meaning is lost

Love is beginning

All over again

We are coming closer

And alleviating the distance

The heart wants

To love you

Let me

Love you

The heart wants

To love you

Let me love you

Preserve

Preserve these moments of love

Preserve these moments of love

Clench this moment

It's slipping away

Love is beginning

All over again

We are coming closer

And alleviating the distance

The ambiance

It was never so youthful

The world looks slightly anew

There will be many

Many such moments

There will be many such moments

Love has always been around

Between two hearts

They'll keep you happy the entire day.

Have a nice day!

I will.

Today, I'll begin writing the central plot of my story.

That's how I'll be setting out into a whole new journey.

I'm sure there will be a new beginning today.

Tamanna, I promised Antra

that I'll begin writing the central plot of my story.

The first chapter in the story is all about love.

Why don't you fall in love with someone, Tamanna?

When in love, the city streets will seem like clouds to you.

You will be able to touch the skies.

Try to soar high with someone, Tamanna.

Please try.

The fragrance disappears when you open your eyes.

Close your eyes. I can talk to you later.

Go ahead.

-Are you a new student? -Yes.

Dr. Tripathi.

He's not in the staff room.

Okay. But where is the staff room?

Like I said, you'll find Dr. Tripathi in his office.

Antra.

There he is.

You'll find Dr. Tripathi in his office.

Got you!

Got you!

That's what you say to a girl when you are down on one knee.

You scum! You came here from the village.

And you didn't carry the pickles made by my mother.

Oh God! What's going on here?

What are they doing?

No, ma'am.

He's on top of me.

-I am a teacher. -Really?

Don't tell me you are a teacher.

Oh, Yash?

-Surender Singh Sodhi. -Get out of here!

What are you doing here? Come on.

Come on!

But where's the staff room?

I gave you freedom.

But you're still alone, Tamanna.

Why? What are you afraid of, Tamanna?

You're not bound by any relationship.

You are free.

Free!

These days, there's no discipline.

Please shift to the right.

-A little to the left. -This is ridiculous.

A little to the right.

A little more.

-Hello. -He is very annoying.

Yash.

Let it be.

Your hand is plastered.

No, it's cured.

Then get it cut.

-It's an old companion. -Sir?

I've grown fond of it.

It's very difficult to set everything right.

It takes a lot of energy.

Let's do this.

You can share your lunch with me. I'll share my jokes with you.

There was a man.

Please laugh.

Why?

Because everyone laughs whenever I start telling a joke.

Mr. Bhargava.

-Would you like to listen to a joke? -Sure.

There was a man.

What do you mean?

Okay! No more jokes about men.

We are lecturers.

We shouldn't be laughing.

Is that what you think?

What are you doing?

Excuse me?

Tell me something.

How did you two meet?

Sorry?

You must have met him before you got married to him.

So, where did you meet him?

We shouldn't have met each other?

-It's not-- -I know that you don't like me.

And you want me to go back to my village.

I understand everything.

All these years, you never took him seriously.

Now that I'm here, my presence bothers you.

Don't even try.

I've taken an oath.

I'll always be with him, no matter what.

Your name should have been Miss Talkative.

Rajni is not a bad name.

I'm not going to leave.

I'm not asking you to leave. I need to know how you guys met.

How did you fall in love?

Love?

My father told me that there's a man who lives in the city.

I didn't want to marry anyone with bad vices.

My father told me that he is a teetotaler.

That was it.

I had a friend who moved to Mumbai after getting married.

But she had to live in a house full of 14 people.

My father told me that he had a space of his own.

And that's how we got married.

Would you like to have some tea?

What is it?

Sir.

Why do you call me "sir"?

What else am I supposed to call you?

You talk too much.

I asked him if he wants to have some tea.

Actually, I wanted to join your photography class.

I wanted to show you some photographs of mine.

Actually, I study Fine Arts.

-In fact, I have a folio-- -Karishma!

I'll see all your photographs.

-Wow. -Antra!

Antra!

Antra!

Antra!

Antra!

Antra. That's a very nice name.

Who named you? Your mom, or your dad?

I'm sure your mom named you.

Only women can think of such nice names.

Do you want to say something?

Yes, but I forgot.

What?

Please smile for me before you leave.

Why?

I don't know.

Please smile for me, like you did earlier.

For the first time in my life I've heard such a request.

Are you meeting me for the first time?

This is ridiculous.

Please smile for no particular reason.

Remember that joke I was trying to crack?

I think I'm falling in love.

Will macaroni and cheese do?

There's a new lecturer in college.

His name is Yash.

You can't make out whether he's a student or a lecturer.

I've never come across such a lecturer.

A plaster on his left hand.

His hand has healed, but he still hasn't taken off the plaster.

That plaster was unique.

And the entire day he kept trying to make me laugh.

Such a shameless guy.

No one calls my name out loud like he did.

And that too, from a distance of 500 meters.

He was shouting! So shameless!

Shameless?

Maybe he has fallen for you.

Fallen for me?

Why can't someone fall for you?

I am married.

And if he has fallen for me, then he is utterly shameless.

That's how I am.

Ever since I married you...

I don't like anyone who tries to get close to me.

He doesn't know that you are married.

He has fallen for you. It's not his fault.

Alright.

It's not his fault.

I'll speak to him tomorrow.

I'll give him a piece of my mind.

Instead of giving him a piece of your mind...

why don't you befriend him?

You are scared. Tamanna is also scared.

It's only friendship, Antra.

No.

Why not?

Firstly, I don't agree to it.

What else?

I don't feel the need to befriend anyone else.

Because you are married?

Because I am very happy with my life.

Because you haven't experienced anything else.

You never shouted out anyone's name.

Because you think it's wrong.

Because you are married.

You need to be broadminded, Antra.

And see what happens next.

You are scared.

Scared?

Because you think that Yash will make you do things that you are not supposed to do.

You love me.

Don't you believe me?

I do, but maybe you don't.

Because you're scared of falling in love with someone else.

I never will.

If you try to evade it, you obviously won't.

But only when you get close to him...

you'll be able to prove it.

I am writing the story of a woman.

I'm confused.

I need some help with this book.

But unfortunately, I have a class to attend.

Lalaji would have been proud about his shenanigans that make you laugh so much.

If I keep laughing at Lalaji's foolish antics,

my students will laugh at me.

They won't respect me.

All this talk about respect is old-fashioned.

But going to class on time is still in fashion.

You never spare a chance to act like a teacher.

Laughter.

What does Tamanna's laughter sound like?

Laughter?

What does it sound like?

Like a waterfall.

Pitter-patter, pitter-patter.

A resonating laughter.

Why are you laughing so much, Tamanna?

Is someone making you laugh?

Who is he?

So, you've found someone?

Who is he, Tamanna?

You never showed me your face.

At least, let me see his.

Yash.

I am Shaukat.

Shaukat controls every event out here.

You'll be the medium of the events' occurrences.

Everything is real.

The readers want reality.

That's why there will be a real Yash in Shaukat's story.

Now onwards, you won't just be a part of Antra's life.

You'll also be a part of my story...

with Tamanna.

Do you like Tamanna?

Yash?

I think I should meet your mother.

I must thank her for the delicious lunch she prepares.

When can I meet her?

Don't you cook?

Neither does my mother.

Rajni is my maid. She is the one who cooks.

Where is your mother?

Mother!

Where are you?

She's far away.

And it's best that she stays away.

Every time we meet, she insists that I should get married.

You should get married.

Oh, no!

What's wrong?

My landlady's daughter.

My landlady has grown fond of me.

My mother has sent this for you.

She thinks that you shouldn't be borrowing lunch from others.

Today, I'll have her lunch.

Maybe tomorrow.

-Good afternoon. -And ask you mother

not to worry about me.

I've grown up now.

She seems nice.

I like someone else.

Her tresses...

are not very long.

She has naughty eyes.

Her eyes are very expressive.

She is still quite childish.

She behaves childishly every now and then.

I feel like staring at her.

-All the time-- -And?

She doesn't know how to laugh.

When she laughs, it seems like a dam has broken

and the water is gushing out.

Do you know such a girl?

Can I tell you a joke?

-There was a man-- -There was a man--

-Okay, Lalaji-- -Okay, Lalaji--

Only the thought of a joke makes you laugh.

That is more than enough for me.

I just wanted to see you laugh.

I like you.

You are falling in love.

Aren't you, Yash?

You will have to.

The story has to continue, Yash.

Antra, do you know how Lalaji ties his laces?

But I can't laugh out loud.

Because they are checking the papers.

I didn't expect this from you, Antra.

Your laughter can be heard at the other end of the corridor.

-Am I right, Mr. Bose? -Well...

Run!

Antra, what did you have for breakfast?

Your laughter can be heard at the end of the corridor.

Your jokes are a better booster than any breakfast.

She usually never laughs like that.

Am I right, Mr. Bose?

You give all the credit to the one cracking a joke.

Where are you going?

I'm going home.

I have one more class.

Then, I'll...

Unfortunately, she had to go home.

I don't like being alone.

Especially, not today.

Mrs. Kapadia, how many classes are you yet to attend?

Why?

Actually, I am very upset today.

I've taken off my plaster.

But I'm in pain.

It's a heartache.

Let's go.

Once, a man's bicycle broke down.

His friend told him that his bicycle had broken down.

He reminded his friend that his relationship with his daughter

had also broken down.

A man was walking on the road and he spotted a banana peel.

So the man said...

Yash changes the names of the characters in his jokes.

He makes them up.

I am not joking.

Being funny is not easy.

But Shaukat, these jokes are stupid.

I laugh at them. And later, I feel embarrassed.

Why?

Have you ever heard me laugh out loud?

Mrs. Kapadia stares at me.

And also taunts me, at times.

Yash is crazy.

But all the girls are crazy about him.

What about him?

He was telling me about the kind of girls he likes.

What kind of girls does he like?

Someone like you?

Exactly opposite.

But at that moment, I felt like telling him

that I am married.

Why?

You just told me that

his preference

is exactly opposite.

Yes. But Mrs. Kapadia--

Don't bother about Mrs. Kapadia.

I am telling you.

I'm glad that you didn't tell him.

If you had told him that you are married

his behavior would have changed.

There will be restrictions.

It is forbidden.

But, don't bother.

This is not the right time to tell Yash about it.

I'll tell you when you have to reveal the facts.

-It's not for us. -This is impossible!

The concept of a rose day is nonsensical.

We might as well adopt the western culture wholly.

They've lost their sense of respect and honor.

Yash, I heard that one of the students gave you a rose.

Not one, but 15.

And I can't decide whom I should give it to.

That's the problem with this generation.

They have forgotten their culture and their morals.

Capture every moment, Yash.

Don't let anything slip away.

Antra, please smile for me.

Yash, stop it.

-I'm capturing these moments. -Stop it.

Yash. He's uncontrollable now.

He has found what he was looking for.

What?

I'm capturing these moments.

Yash has fallen in love with Tamanna.

He has fallen captive to my story as well.

I am not lying.

But you won't believe me until you meet him.

I want to meet him as well.

Fire.

Sometimes, light.

Commotion, at some places.

Grandeur.

At times you are like fire.

At times, you are like fume.

Sometimes, quite close. At times, you are all around.

You are too noisy.

And at times, you are silent.

Who are you?

I am a stranger to myself

Unknown

Deeper than pain. Better than my thoughts.

Brighter than love.

I have an image of you in my mind.

I am a stranger to myself

Unknown

What do you think of me?

Tell me

I am a stranger to myself

Unknown

What do you think of me?

Tell me

I am a stranger to myself

Unknown

What do you think of me?

Tell me

Two eyes

What do you see in the eyes?

An image

Whose image is it?

Ask your heart, ask the breeze

I was lost, lost in the world

After meeting you, I am lost in your eyes

I was lost, lost in the world

After meeting you, I am lost in your eyes

I was lost, lost

I've given you a name. Now, I'm giving you a face.

Innocent eyes, innocent face.

A smiling face.

Are you a part of my fantasy? Or, a reality?

Or are you just a confused thought?

-What happened? -What just happened?

Why am I restless?

-Everything has changed -With your presence

-Don't say anything -Why shouldn't I?

I might just lose myself

I was lost, lost in the world

After meeting you, I am lost in your eyes

I was lost, lost

The image that I have of you...

I've immersed myself in that image.

The image was fresh like the ambiance.

Your victory.

My loss.

Of the refusal, the wait, the acceptance, and the quarrels.

A faint color of love.

-What are you? -You tell me

What do you think?

-I think you are... -At least you thought about me

-Tell me now -Don't trouble me

-I might do something I never imagined -I might do something I never imagined

I was lost, lost in the world

After meeting you, I am lost in your eyes

I was lost, lost

Your innocence is invaluable.

The character is unique.

Whatever you are, you are wonderful.

Are you a thought, or a question?

You are extremely adorable. Everyone will love you.

Tea!

Don't you have a class to attend?

Come on!

Yes?

Antra Vashist, the professor?

She's a very nice lady.

But she left during lunch time.

Is it something urgent? I'll pass the message.

I'll pass the message.

Antra? Shaukat!

You are Shaukat.

I am a huge fan of yours.

And my daughter...

That day, your program was aired on TV.

Antra left a while ago.

She isn't home yet?

I am Mrs. Kapadia.

I love your writing.

You have a unique style.

Some people don't understand such unique writing.

That's why, your last book--

But I loved it.

Come on.

Yash, the new professor?

Yes, the new boy.

He's strong, very strong.

I wonder what he does the entire day.

Was it today? No.

He leaves in the evening.

He has a class

in the amphitheater, right there.

He teaches photography.

Do you have a message for him?

-No. -I'll pass the message.

-No, thanks. -Sure?

-Okay. -No, thanks.

Yash.

Exactly like I had imagined.

You?

It's the first time, you weren't at home when I returned.

Where are Rajni and Ramakant?

They were at home until lunch time.

You were supposed to come home for lunch.

Yes, but--

-Yes. -I knew it.

-What? -I knew that you'll be late.

Women!

Antra, you lied to me.

Now, Tamanna will lie to me.

I won't let that happen.

I decide everything. I do!

Let's walk alone

What's the matter?

Yesterday, your husband was here to pick you up.

-Really? -Yes, he was here yesterday.

But you weren't here.

By the way, my desire to meet him was fulfilled.

It was fulfilled.

I wanted to introduce him to Yash.

But Yash wasn't here as well.

Keep him under wraps. Or else, there can be trouble.

Thinking about me?

Did you go to my college yesterday, to pick me up?

Shaukat?

Did you?

I knew that Mrs. Kapadia will tell you about it.

Are you scared?

Are you scared that Yash might...

-Exactly-- -Don't turn around.

If Yash falls in love with you, it's not your fault.

But I shouldn't lie to him.

You didn't lie to him.

Did he ever ask you if you were married or not?

No one ever asks that.

What?

Tell me, what do you want?

Do you want Yash to find out?

Would you like to break the friendship?

A friendship should not be based on lies.

Why is this friendship so important to you?

I am myself with him.

For example.

Just...

laughing at silly things.

Discussing silly things.

Silly...

Yes, silly challenges.

Snapping-the-fingers challenge.

Or the staring challenge.

Such silly and stupid things.

Childishness, is what I like.

But... I don't love him.

I love you.

Then why are you scared?

Don't be scared, Antra.

If you are scared, the story will come to a halt.

I'll make everything alright.

-Hello, may I speak to-- -Yash, just a minute.

Antra, there's a call for you.

Antra, there's a call for you.

What were you doing?

-Thinking about me? -No, I was getting a haircut.

Cutting them short?

No. Why did you call?

To tell you that we are going to Habitat Center to watch a play.

-Yes. -I don't go out on Sundays.

Who passed the phone to you?

Tell me.

-He had a manly voice. -Go.

-You know, the sexy types. -Go, Antra.

Which play?

Why did you avoid my question?

I get it, you don't want to tell me.

"Antra, there's a call for you."

I was scared!

You didn't tell me that your father lives with you.

What time?

The play starts at 7:00 p.m.

But we can meet right now.

See you at 6:30.

Where?

Can you come to Habitat Center?

Alright.

-I can come and pick you up-- -No.

You don't have to come here.

I'll be there.

Yes.

You will have to go.

Because I want you to go.

Dress well, Tamanna.

It's a special day today.

Your beauty makes me forget my age.

What kind of magic is that?

I fall in love with you, all over again.

There's one thing missing.

Now, there's nothing missing.

I am selfish.

Once you are gone, I'll eagerly wait for you to return.

Go. Aren't you getting late for the play?

Go, Antra.

Here's an idea, Yash.

Don't take Tamanna for the play today.

Let's see what happens.

We were going to watch a play.

Where have you brought me?

This is a place that two travelers ought to visit, sooner or later.

Since when have we become "two travelers"?

Ever since the day we met.

But you just don't understand.

Are you afraid of your family?

Why are you angry?

It's not my fault. You were getting bored.

You were bored with the usual Sunday routine.

I am here to entertain you.

Mother was right.

She used to tell me that I shouldn't care about people so much.

Yash, you talk too much.

I often forget what we were talking about.

What goes around comes around.

So, no matter how far I go,

I'll always come back to the same place.

Why are you sulking?

Because I don't feel like laughing.

Fine, I'll try to make you laugh.

By the time I reach there, I'll make sure that you laugh.

Otherwise...

I'll die.

That's ridiculous, Yash.

I just want you to smile for me.

Once upon a time, Lalaji and his wife came here.

Yash, I am going home.

Lalaji said to his wife...

Yash!

No.

He told her, "What will you give me if I reach that peak of the mountain?"

His wife felt shy.

Lalaji asked the same question once again.

He asked her, "What will you give me if I reach that peak of the mountain?"

Do you know what she said?

She said...

Yash!

She said, "I'll push you."

Let's go.

What about her dinner?

What happened?

Why did she go out all alone?

Why did she leave him alone?

He's going to mess up the entire house.

We can't even stop him.

Take the blindfold off my eyes, Yash.

My eyes are open.

You can ask her anything.

Damayanti knows everything.

-Who? -Am I right, Damayanti?

-Sit down. -Damayanti?

About you, about me.

About today, about the future.

About everything.

Crazy!

You'll find something, you'll lose something.

The truth is about to be revealed.

Do you want to know the truth?

The same old story, yet again.

From childhood, to youth.

We had dreams when we were young.

But now you dream about your youth.

Tell me, tell me

What is love?

Tell me, tell me

Why am I restless?

Why do we

Miss someone?

I have the same feelings

Just like you

What's happening?

Never let anything like that happen

Don't lose your heart

Let it be, let's just forget this

Don't say that

Tell me, tell me

What is love?

Tell me, tell me

Why am I restless?

Someone is falling in love.

Tamanna is feeling young again.

Love is something that is

Uncontrollable

Or is it the saga of our hearts?

You don't just grow fond of someone

That's the biggest proof

The one that my heart loves

Is she falling in love with me as well?

Never let anything like that happen

Don't lose your heart

Let it be, let's just forget this

Don't say that

Tell me, tell me

What is love?

Tell me, tell me

Why am I restless?

This path is new for you, Tamanna.

You can decide where you need to stop.

And where you have to tread.

Where you need to let go, and where you need to control yourself.

I have to keep walking

On this path

Even if the world

Says that I am crazy

It began from you

And it ends here

My story and my saga

The one that my heart loves

Is she falling in love with me as well?

Say yes, Tamanna.

-Tell me -Never let anything like that happen

Don't lose your heart

There's a thin line between losing and attaining.

Don't refuse, go ahead.

Hold his hand.

Or else, your refusal will make me wait.

I want to move ahead.

I want to see what's beyond this love.

Go ahead!

Antra!

Antra, it's you!

Tamanna's character is a reflection of your life.

How could you be Tamanna?

Antra.

Congratulations, Shaukat.

The story has become real.

And it's the day she is going to admit her love.

No, Shaukat. This is not right.

Your wife's love affair?

Antra cannot fall in love with Yash.

Why not? Do you think it's wrong?

Forbidden? Taboo?

That's the theme.

Why are you being possessive now?

What about reality?

Don't you care about reality anymore?

You can't change anything now.

She'll fall in love, no matter what.

She...

She is your wife.

You need to stop writing this.

She is your wife, but she's just a character in my story.

And plots of stories cannot be changed.

Why can't I come inside your house?

-There are some things-- -It's just a place where you live.

This is strange, Antra.

I am quite strange.

You're hiding something.

-Maybe. -Why?

Because... I want to hide it.

I want it to be that way.

I need to go.

Fine, I won't enter your house.

But do you stop thinking about me after you get home?

-Yash, there are some things-- -Antra, I don't want to know anything.

We met each other, that's enough for me.

I like everything about you.

Even your secrets.

Even the fact that you are a reserved person.

Even the fact that you have something to say to me.

But you never say it.

There must be something.

There's something that keeps you from smiling.

Doesn't matter.

Because that's exactly why I'm attracted to you.

I like you just the way you are.

You!

Your secrets, your innocence.

Your reservations.

Your weaknesses.

Where were you?

Where were you until now, Antra?

Will she be out the entire night?

Only then, will your story be real.

Shaukat.

Answer me.

You decide everything, don't you?

Do you have an answer?

How was the play?

You're still awake!

I was waiting for you.

Remember?

-But-- -Until when?

I was waiting for you until 4:30 a.m.

Why have you been out all night?

Did you guys go out for dinner as well?

Actually, we didn't watch the play.

Really?

I knew it.

What do you mean?

I mean, the weather is beautiful.

You should be out there instead of watching a play indoors.

I didn't realize how late I am.

Sometimes you don't realize the time rushing by, Antra.

I understand.

Did you guys go to the beach?

I'm sure you had a good time there.

It must have started raining.

The rain washes everything away.

Even time.

Trees, saplings, sorrows.

Even sins.

But sometimes, you meet with an accident.

The car skids.

Is your car alright, Antra?

I trust you, Antra.

I know that you will come back to me.

Such things do happen.

What do you mean?

Why do you trust me so much?

It makes no difference to you?

Shaukat.

Shaukat, I am your wife.

Ask me why I'm late.

"The rain washes everything away." Really?

What are you doing?

What are we doing?

Let's see what happens.

Shaukat.

Reality.

Here's the truth.

He's just a boy, after all.

He's young and handsome.

Why doesn't it make a difference to you?

What if something goes wrong?

What if I fall in love?

Damn it!

Books, lives, stories.

Everything has merged.

Let's see what happens.

Don't be scared, Antra.

You won't have to do anything.

I'll decide everything.

Shall we go out?

Shall we go to Kodaikanal?

Do you want to run away from Yash?

Is it wrong to do so?

What's the right thing to do?

I got home very late.

How could I have been so careless?

Enough, Antra!

I really don't mind that. I don't care.

I care about the fact that

marital responsibilities

and moral duties

should not tie you down.

My love should be the reason for you to get back home.

Don't come back home because of any restrictions.

We'll stay right here.

You have to face it.

Ramakant, don't water the plants.

It's going to rain.

Okay, sir.

I wish I hadn't met Yash.

It was bound to happen.

What?

What was bound to happen?

You can't hurt me.

And you can't hurt Yash.

Stop joking.

I'm telling you the truth.

People say that I don't understand reality.

I have the power.

The power of my mind.

And I love this power.

I love you as well.

But you are invaluable to me.

Do you love me more than you love your books?

That's what I can't decide.

But I do know that I love you a lot.

Come on, Antra.

-Where? -It's raining.

-I said so. -Shaukat!

Shaukat?

Where have you brought me, Shaukat?

The place looks familiar.

It stopped raining.

It stopped raining.

I can control the rain!

-Shaukat? -Come on.

Antra belongs to me!

And no one else can touch her, other than me.

What do you think?

Do you think she belongs to you?

I stopped the rain.

I'm the decision maker! I am!

I'll tell you when it has to rain.

Come here, Antra.

Shout! Let him know that you exist.

Shout, Antra! Shout.

Antra!

Let him know that you exist.

Shout, Antra!

God is our creator.

But I control somethings.

I can do anything! I can get anything done.

Silence!

I'm enjoying this!

When you enjoy writing...

life becomes enjoyable.

Antra.

You look very beautiful today.

But you don't look the same anymore.

Smile, Antra.

Please smile for me.

Please smile for me, Antra.

Smile, Antra.

Smile wholeheartedly. Please!

I have written about your smile in my book.

Smile, Antra.

Smile!

Smile, Antra!

You were scared, weren't you?

You were afraid that Antra would leave you.

Shaukat.

Story, life, reality, books.

Everything has merged.

Now, you must also merge well with the story.

What could be more real than this?

Now, the husband is also a part of the story.

It is forbidden.

That's the kind of love story it is.

What do you think?

Will Antra meet Yash today?

According to the story, she will.

Do you want to stop her?

Antra won't attend college today.

Antra Vashist.

I am her husband.

Please inform the concerned person.

Rajni!

She will go to college. I knew it.

Rajni.

Yes, madam?

Why didn't you wake me up?

-I am late for college. -You are not.

I've already informed them about your leave.

I cannot take a leave, I'll have to go.

I knew it.

What did you know?

I knew that you will go even after taking a leave.

Shaukat.

I need to go to college because--

You are a very sincere teacher.

Come on, get ready quickly.

Now you'll do exactly as I say.

Yash and Antra didn't go to watch the play yesterday

because I decided so.

The husband tried to stop her, but Antra still wants to go to work.

Because I decided so.

What should I do now?

You need to be quiet today.

Because Yash won't be able to endure your silence.

The next twist in the story is all about struggles.

What's wrong, Antra?

It's time for my lecture, and yours as well.

The story is predominant.

Now, the story will not be based on life.

Life will be like the story.

Antra, Antra.

I cannot wait any longer.

-Why are you ignoring me? -Can we please--

Can we please discuss personal matters after college?

-Good morning, sir. Morning, ma'am. -On one condition.

Please smile for me.

One day, Lalaji...

See you after college.

-Antra has said-- -That I need to have my medicines on time.

She'll be late.

That's how it should be.

You already know what she wants to say.

You didn't even have the fruits.

I'll take them back.

Can you read Ramakant's mind?

We got married recently.

We'll understand each other better in a few years from now.

Now, every time he asks me to leave

I know that he means the exact opposite of that.

Don't go.

I'll write about your love, Antra.

Whatever I write will be true.

But don't go.

I...

Prove me wrong, Antra.

Why does it hurt so much when fiction and reality tend to merge?

No matter what I write,

it will end up hurting me.

Why?

Please don't lie to me.

I can see the pain in your eyes.

Are you troubled because of me?

Yes, but it's not your fault.

Yes. It's because of my age.

I am younger than you.

I love you.

You're scared about the fact that you'll have to love me in return.

If you do, I'll go crazy.

If you don't, my love for you will keep me alive.

But, fear?

Fear doesn't suit you, Antra.

Antra.

Yash, don't worry about Antra's confused state of mind.

If she doesn't admit it, so be it.

You need to tell her that you love her.

What are you afraid of, Antra?

How do I...

I'll help you get rid of me.

Yash, what are you--

Will you marry me?

That's what you were scared of.

What will your answer be?

How and when will it happen?

Will there be a raging storm, or an upheaval?

What happened?

What happened, Antra?

Nothing!

I knew it.

I knew it.

Forget everything.

Done!

Please smile for me.

Smile.

What was the answer?

Shall I come home to discuss the alliance?

Scared you again!

Shaukat! The one you used to call quite often.

Shaukat.

Keep your floating candles ready, Meera.

Oh, Mrs. Bose.

Send it to me, I'll read it.

Women!

I've put my wife at stake for this book.

What's wrong, Shaukat?

Are you hiding something from me?

My story.

I'm waiting for it to end before I narrate it to you.

I am eagerly waiting for it.

The end is unpredictable.

I cannot help you with that, even if I want to.

You've helped me so far.

What do you mean?

That's why I want to take you out.

Strange. I was thinking about the same thing.

After being married for so many years, we've learnt to read each other's mind.

I have something important to do.

Don't wear white, Antra.

You look beautiful, pure.

But very weak.

Don't be weak, Shaukat.

The story will end just as it has to.

Red signifies independence.

My Antra.

My Antra will do as I please.

Let it go.

Focus on the present.

Immerse yourself in these colors, Antra.

Shaukat.

And for this, someone will have to sacrifice something.

Something has changed.

Why can't we be like we were, Shaukat?

Eyes.

Eyes full of dreams.

Questions, answers, words, silence.

All, in those eyes.

We are lecturers, we shouldn't be laughing.

Is that what you think?

Do you regret getting married?

Because you can't be yourself anymore.

Your secrets, your innocence, your reservations.

And your weaknesses.

Where were you? Where were you until now, Antra?

It does happen sometimes.

I don't want you to be afraid.

Why are you scared?

You think you might fall in love?

Never!

I belong to you, Shaukat.

Don't you wish you were here with Yash?

Yash is somewhere around.

Don't you see him?

I can see him clearly.

Naught eyes.

Innocent face.

A smiling face.

He has lots of things to say.

But he's always chewing on his nails.

Am I right?

I've heard that you dance very well.

Shaukat, I...

I don't like hearing things about you from others.

Would you like to dance with me?

The brilliant gleam in your eyes

Who is it for? Who is it for?

The glow on your face

Who is it for? Who is it for?

Your smile, your eyes

Your smile, your eyes

They are for me

The brilliant gleam in your eyes

Who is it for? Who is it for?

The glow on your face

Who is it for? Who is it for?

Try to read my gestures

Everything that's mine, belongs to you

Try to read my gestures

Everything that's mine, belongs to you

I am flowing like the waves

You are the shore

My love, my loyalty

My love, my loyalty

You know it's all for you

The brilliant gleam in my eyes

It's for you, it's for you

The glow on my face

It's for you, it's for you

Smile for the crazy lover

Let things happen

Smile for the crazy lover

Let things happen

Let the heart express

Let the heart express its confusion

The delicate lips, the smoldering breath

The delicate lips, the smoldering breath

It's for me, just for me

The brilliant gleam in your eyes

Who is it for? Who is it for?

The glow on your face

Who is it for? Who is it for?

Your smile, your eyes

Your smile, your eyes

It's for me, just for me.

Antra.

You belong to me, Antra.

Only me.

Yash will have to go.

I thought, he'll make you happy.

But he's troubling you.

The story has ended.

Come on, let's go home.

I know it's wrong.

Maybe.

But that's how the story goes.

That's what I have decided.

I cannot kill you.

Maybe you'll have to kill yourself.

You'll have to die.

You know.

You'll be alive in my book.

Always.

Eternally.

Sorry Antra, I know you'll feel bad.

It was such a wonderful relationship.

But you'll have to do it.

He's your friend.

You're looking beautiful in the red sari.

Sugar in your coffee?

I think I'm about to be happy again.

I came late on purpose.

The thought of you waiting for me was quite tempting.

It's a special day.

Take a seat, Yash.

On the chair.

I wanted to give you some more time.

They want to meet you.

Yash, I--

Think carefully before saying anything.

Either yes, or nothing at all.

Don't say no.

If you say no, I'll die.

Either yes, or nothing at all.

Why are you crying?

Yash, I...

want to tell you something.

Now you're going to tell me the secret

that will make me change my mind.

Tell me, I am ready.

Antra, you can tell me anything.

And I'll still say the same thing.

Antra, will you--

I am married.

I live with my husband.

The voice that you heard over the phone, was his.

And I will continue to live with him.

I know I was wrong, Yash.

But I also know that your friendship is very valuable.

The moments I spent with you, mean a lot to me.

You know how to live, Yash.

And maybe, I felt alive with you.

Why did I do this?

I was selfish.

Laughing carelessly...

had become a reason for not breaking this friendship.

But I know it's wrong. It's wrong!

Everything was wrong. But the friendship is true, it's not fake.

Maybe I'm still being selfish.

Please forgive me, if you can.

Are you happy with your husband?

Fine. Be happy.

You wanted to be friends, but I grew fond of you.

It's not your fault, Antra.

You didn't tell me. And I never asked.

I just assumed that you are single.

It's not your fault, Antra.

Yes, there's just one thing.

There's no one like you, Antra.

That's it? Is this the end of our friendship?

Our friendship will remain as it is.

But we won't keep in touch.

No!

No.

This is not possible.

All he said was thank you and goodbye?

-Shaukat. -Yes, tell me.

I want to listen to you!

-Have you been lying? -Lying?

Have you been lying about his feelings for you?

You told me he'll be heartbroken.

What's wrong with you, Shaukat?

-With me? -Yes, you!

Why would I lie to you?

He asked me to be happy and then he left.

He left. He has gone forever.

Isn't that a good thing?

It doesn't seem so.

Did you see the pain in his eyes?

Think, Antra!

I didn't look into his eyes.

Because I don't have the courage

to look into someone's eyes while hurting them.

That's not possible.

That's not possible.

That's why I wanted to tell him that I am married.

But you stopped me.

And I agreed because I trusted your judgment.

It was a mistake!

It must be his ego.

I thought that you understand life better than I do.

You understand people better than me.

But I was wrong!

Because you don't live in the real world.

You live in a fictional world.

In a fictional world, people do as they please.

But humans, emotions and humanity!

These things are not easy to understand, Shaukat.

I should have known better.

What do you think?

Don't I know the human mind?

What do you think?

I know that he felt bad.

Yet, you--

Experiences enrich us.

Your friendship with Yash has given you the strength to confront me.

Right?

You don't even realize...

that you are talking to me rudely.

You felt bad, didn't you?

He must have felt bad as well.

That's what you wanted.

He's heartbroken.

Right?

This is not what I had decided.

I had decided something else.

There's something else on my mind.

Antra, there were tears in your eyes.

That's why you couldn't see the obvious truth.

He cannot live without you.

Because I've already written about it.

I know

The tears that trickled down

The pain that was relieved

I know

The tears that trickled down

The pain that was relieved

All the dreams have shattered

As you drifted away

All the dreams have shattered

As you drifted away

Don't go

Don't go

Don't go

Don't go

How am I at fault?

Don't go

What's true, what's fake?

I was always confused

Though I wanted to

I couldn't pen down my feelings

My pain turned

Into words

Don't go

Don't go

Don't go

Don't go

Don't go

Don't go

How am I at fault?

Don't go

How am I at fault?

Don't go

Come with me.

No! Let's write this together.

I've found my subject.

You need to experience love.

The first chapter is all about love.

Fall in love with someone, Tamanna.

You've found someone. Who is he, Tamanna?

I am Shaukat.

You'll be a part of Antra's life.

You are falling in love, aren't you, Yash?

It's a special day.

Don't take her for the play.

Antra, you?

Tamanna's character is a reflection of your life.

How could you be Tamanna?

He'll fall in love, no matter what.

-I am Shaukat. -Life, stories...

Reality has merged...

Someone will have to sacrifice something.

Sorry Antra... He has to die...

What is this, Shaukat?

You turned Antra into mere words.

I belong to you Shaukat.

Your wife!

Your love!

And you turned my life into a story.

But

when did you start believing

that your words can control someone's life?

And...

And what have you written on the last page?

I want to test the power of your words.

Let's see what happens.

Let's see if I am stronger than your words.

What happened?

What happened?

What happened?

Antra, did Yash feel bad?

Did he?

Read it!

-What is this? -You know everything.

You even know that he is always chewing on his nails.

Why couldn't you gauge what he might have felt?

-I gauged it. That's why-- -Lies!

Lies!

What did you gauge?

What did you gauge?

You wanted Yash to kill himself.

Do you want to know what's on my mind?

Read it.

Read it!

-I can't read it. -It's Yash's suicide note.

Read it.

-My dear, please read it. Read it! -Please...

My dear...

While solving the test papers, I'm stuck at the last question.

What should I do?

I am writing down the answer that I am well aware of.

-This time, I was late. -This time, I was late.

In our next life, I'll meet you before your husband does.

That's what's written.

Right? Keep reading it.

I'll capture...

-your smile. -He'll capture your smile.

How romantic!

Read it.

I don't know how far I'll be able to go.

I'm in a hurry, if I stop--

Maybe I'll become someone like Romeo.

But you are not Juliet.

You'll punish me.

And when I am destined to be punished...

then I'd rather say goodbye.

Please smile for me.

That's what's written.

That's what's written.

That's what's written!

I've written it.

I've written every word.

Every word!

You don't believe it, do you?

No one does.

I've written every word.

I'll prove it to you.

Everything occurred just as I had written it.

How could you believe it, Shaukat?

I've written it down.

I've written it down.

I've written about you as well.

Just a minute.

Where's that page?

Where's that page?

Shaukat.

Where's that page?

Antra, everything occurred just as I had written it.

Everything, Antra!

Antra, why are you standing there?

Come here, search for it.

Where is that page?

Oh, God! Where is that page?

Where's that page?

I've written every word!

Where's that page?

Where's that page?

Where is it? It must be here.

Just a minute. Where's that page?

It was right here. Where is it?

Search for it.

Where's that page?

I've written about Yash.

I've written about myself as well.

I've written every word!

I've written every word.

My words! All my words are true.

What's going on, Shaukat?

I've written it.

-It must be here, it must be here! -Yash is alive.

-Search for it, search for it. -Please!

I've written every word!

I've written it! I've written every word.

I've written every word.

I've written it.

Will I lose you?

This can't be the end.

It cannot be true.

I have faith in you. Please don't disappoint me.

Antra.

Antra.

Antra.

Antra.

Did you find it?

The last page! Did you find it?

Search for it, Antra. Or else, I'll go mad.

Everything I've written until now has come true.

This will be true as well.

-I'll go mad. -No.

-Words are very powerful, Antra. -Shaukat, come to your senses.

I kept searching for it all night.

I kept searching for it all night.

I want to write it again.

I don't want to kill anyone.

-You haven't killed anyone. -I don't want to kill Yash.

No, Shaukat.

Shaukat, you haven't killed anyone.

Look at me.

You haven't killed anyone.

You didn't.

I didn't want to kill him. But Yash is dead.

You haven't killed him, you can't!

A story is just a story.

Not reality.

Okay?

I asked you to let go.

But why didn't you stop yourself?

Why didn't you say, "stop it"?

Why didn't you say, "I love you, damn it"?

But I do love you!

Nothing will happen to you.

I won't let anything happen to you, Shaukat.

Nothing.

I want to burn it up.

Why aren't you listening?

Yash isn't dead, you are absolutely fine!

Why are you saying such things?

But why did you fall in love with him?

-I love you! -Why?

You'll be absolutely fine.

Nothing.

Antra.

Search for it.

I'll burn it up.

Search for it. I'll burn it up.

Search for it.

-Shaukat. -Antra.

Look, Antra.

Look!

My future.

He...

He is coming.

No, Shaukat.

No, Shaukat.

-No, Shaukat. -Stop him.

-I don't want to go. -No, Shaukat.

Stop him, Antra.

You'll be alright.

I don't want to go.

You'll be alright.

I won't let anything happen to you.

Reality!

The power of words.

Whatever I write becomes reality.

Everything I wrote about myself came true.

Why is it a coincidence?

Whatever I write will come true.

Hear that?

Death!

Death! You'll die!

Shaukat.

Just a minute.

Just a minute!

Just a minute!

Antra will tell you about it. I write and it comes true.

Words were proven victorious.

Words snatched Shaukat away from me.

But I didn't accept defeat.

I brought him here.

Antra, the power of words has been proven.

With my words, I turned everything into a reality.

I've shown them reality.

-Let's go, Shaukat. -Shaukat Vashist!

Tamanna.

-Come on. -Tamanna, you've come back.

Antra, take me home.

I don't like it here.

You'll be home. I'll take you back.

Tamanna, tell them that everything I write turns to reality.

Right?

You're crying, Antra.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Smile radiantly.

Okay?

This story isn't over. Am I right, Antra?

-Antra. -Relax.

I always scream out loud in this corridor.

Antra!

Antra!

Antra!

-Shaukat... -Antra.

Hear that? Antra!

Just a minute.

Antra?

Will you dance with me for the last time?

Love is beginning

All over again

We are coming closer

And alleviating the distance

The heart wants

To love you

Let me

Let me love you

The heart wants

To love you

Let me love you

Preserve these moments

These moments of love

Preserve these moments of love

Clench this moment

It's slipping away

Love is beginning

All over again

We are coming closer

And alleviating the distance

A story

A story is being weaved

A story is being weaved

The words are missing

And the meaning is lost

Come back, Shaukat.

Tamanna and Yash's story is over.

A new beginning and some new words are waiting for you.
