Original subtitles

You've crossed the max level of cheesiness, Rishi.

Just some proof that you're also equally cheesy, okay?

Proof of the wall of the house? No. I'm gonna veto this.

You've already wasted your vetoes on the wallpaper options, buttercup.

Buttercup, again?

Okay, then you tell me what do I call you?

Cute pet names at this stage of the relationship are normal, right?

Oh…

How about Dimpiya babu?

It was yucky earlier, it's still yucky.

Falling in love is easy. But to be loved back, is tough.

So these are some of the most romantic cities in the world,

which we will visit together someday.

Who are all these random couples?

But sustaining the love, Placeholders.

Till the time we pose in front of them,

is the toughest.

-And where will your Bollywood posters go? -You know, love equals work.

All the dreams that we see together… We'll see… Okay, on that wall,

we'll hang your mom and dad's photo. they all take work.

Can we avoid mummy?

Whether it's setting up a home together… Shut up!

Okay. And out here,

an 88-inch TV plus console for your games and stuff.

Or accepting each other's hobbies and interests.

And in front of that, there will be a huge couch,

where we'll both relax and then we can…

or even keeping things exciting between the two. play some games.

But we can't even do this properly.

And surprising too.

Well, there's one thing we can do.

Thank you!

But we can't drink it.

Since when do you drink cold coffee?

Love equals work.

In fact, love equals work times two.

Because everyone, every single one of us, is living two lives.

One virtual,

and obviously, the real one.

Nandini Nahata Institute of Technology.

NNIT. My new world, my new home.

One thousand four hundred and forty three kilometres from Jaipur,

in Hyderabad's Adapt University campus.

NNIT is one of the ten colleges here, it is the strictest, it is the deadliest,

but also the best.

There is no room for glitches or malfunctions here.

Oh, hey, Rish! Love your motion graphics.

Here, work equals work.

Good morning, sir. You have to bring your A-game, otherwise,

game over!

My granddad would have died of embarrassment

if he saw my mark sheet. Because there's never been a

topper in my entire family.

-I guess my girlfriend-- -Raise your hand to answer the question.

-Five! -Long-distance

girlfriend, rubbed off on me.

I became studious out here, while in Ambala, she turned into a total dud in her

-studies. -Yes, correct. Now we, we move ahead.

Hi, Rishi. When are you leaving Nandini

and joining our institute?

-Can I get back to you on that? -Yes.

We are making an amazing immersive virtual universe in which everything will look

a 100 per cent real and alive.

Including you.

Yes, you will look exactly as you are.

That's why it's better than anything else out there.

It's, Betterverse!

It's going to be a better world for the best version of you.

So, ready or not,

you'll immerse yourself in our universe in just one year.

And remember, nothing is impossible in Betterverse.

And give me some lemon and cabbage.

One rejection by Nandini ma'am derailed Dimple's life completely. It's not easy

-for everyone to move on from the past. -Sorry, sorry.

The future in 8K is possible only when one moves on.

-Otherwise life stays stuck in 240p. -We are creating a space for you, where

you can make for yourself a world different from this

-world. A world of your own. -We were so busy talking about the future,

and didn't realise, that we are in it already.

-What's the update on that project? -I'm working on it.

I was just really hoping that we could…

-It's approved. -Oh!

What if the real world becomes worse while making Betterverse better?

Speaking of better, a whole lot became better

in my real world.

Rivals have become friends.

Sir?

No, not these.

-Hey, these are fine, right? Let's go. -Bro, you'll be meeting

her after two whole years.

You'll give her two flowers?

So I give her two hundred flowers, or what?

Minimum.

After two years and two hundred flowers, I should get two kisses no, Vin?

Those who stayed in hiding earlier have now become champions.

We make sure we have a lot of activities where people can be themselves. Ah, the

fact that you can be comfortable in your skin,

But there are also those who haven't changed at all in three years.

-You can do whatever you want to do, -Ya, I guess you can really try and…

Keep going, lost of fishes.

Hi!

Hello!

Impromptu hook-up. She's too hot. Please--

Has to be.

Celina!

Fine! Catch you later if you can. Don't catch feelings!

Cool!

Hello Boston! I'm gonna be performing tonight

at 192 South Boston Waterfront.

I'm gonna be dropping some unreleased tracks.

It's at eight p. m. Ticket links in the bio. Be there.

Love you guys, see you soon.

-…The right time to show them… -As you can see… I had changed a lot.

-I love what I do. -She can be moody sometimes.

And I know that I'm incredibly lucky to be here.

Oh, look at that!

Listen, don't be sad, ya. I'm coming back on Valentine's Day, no?

How can I leave you alone on that day?

But, there are also such days when I remember that maybe

I'm too unlucky to be here, alone.

At the most… What do you think?

Uh, yeah. Sure.

You've made very good arrangements, yes dear. I liked it very much, really.,

Thank you. I will give him tea and come back. Yes, okay.

Here, take.

Simple! How will our daughter ever get better?

It's been three years since the rejection from NNIT.

She's aimless and still so upset.

She doesn't exercise, or go shopping.

She could have gone to the parlour, at least.

She doesn't talk to anyone. Doesn't even laugh,

doesn't cry. What is this?

Forget about that. She doesn't have a single friend.

Sometimes I think about that boy, Rishi. Will he still be available?

Why don't you come here. I'll be fully available to you.

The bio bubble is also gone now, Dimple.

So many guys have had their girlfriends visiting them here.

I'll also come to Ambala.

-One year ago. -Exactly!

It's been one year since I kissed you, Dimple!

That cop didn't even let that happen.

Saved us from causing a scandal in Ambala.

Shouldn't we give Hyderabad a chance too?

Maybe things could go beyond a kiss?

Can I please book your tickets?

No, Rishi.

-Hey, just be careful. -Can I maybe bribe you

with a business class ticket?

Listen, Prince Shekhawat.

Just come to the point. Has your glitch gotten fixed?

No, man. That Sai is still busy testing it, but…

Rishi!

Got to go, cutie.

-Yuck! -Love equals work.

Hm-mm. Correction.

Long distance love equals hundred times more work.

As you can see, this is our working space.

Betterverse is a hyper real virtual reality universe.

Where we are trying to create different kinds of worlds.

And also in that space we have a haptic suit which we are trying.

Did you get any haptic feedback?

No sensation.

In life, step number one is to set a goal.

It may be a hit or a miss, but you've got to keep trying.

You know, you can only lose, when you simply stop trying.

Come. Come in. Look. The company has given me my own cabin. Huh?

And see this, come here.

This, is my personal organic chair.

Ergonomic, papa.

That's what I meant.

The point is that, you remember I always thought,

I was stuck being a manager?

But here I am, Senior Manager Dheeraj Ahuja, sitting in my own cabin, with

-pride. Huh? -Wow!

Beta, what I'm trying to say is, hard work is always rewarding.

And if you…

What is it?

Oh that's just, that's--

-Beta-- -The doctor's warning also had

zero effect on you, na, papa?

Come on, why are you making this an issue…

-Where are you going? -What's the point, of a better position

in the company, if your health will get worse?

But listen, where are you going? Hey--

-But, listen, uh… -Sir, we are done

loading, we need your sign.

Come in.

Hello?

Oh!

-I thought you'd be happy to hear from me. -It was an excellent presentation.

-Isn't it. -Yes.

I am.

Tell me.

I was just missing you.

Hmm.

What happened, Dimple?

Nothing, man, sorry. I came to papa's office,

he spoilt my mood.

I have been telling you. Come over to my office in Hyderabad.

I can fix your mood.

Okay, papa's coming. I'll talk to you later. Bye.

Dimple, what are you--? What is this?

There's not even a year left for the launch, and we are shockingly slow.

Ma'am, the designing of the Suburbs world house is 80 per cent complete.

In fact, Sai's even testing it right now.

Suburbs world is really not that important.

Focus on the rest of the worlds.

We need six full worlds, up and working, by the launch.

Ah, Krish! Welcome.

So guys, Krish will be joining the team from today.

We're short on time,

and we need more minds on the job.

If we need minds, then why is he here?

Because half of your mind rotted away in therapy.

Shut up, asshole!

-Shut up, asshole. -Uh, Kailash will bring you up to speed.

You will be managing the timelines from next week.

And you'll keep an eye on the minutes of the meeting.

Uh, umm, one second, ma'am. You mean, uh…

Like an assi… assistant?

I'm sorry, Mr. Katyal. Would you like to take my place instead?

Now, listen to me carefully.

The work that we are doing here

is extremely confidential.

Before the launch, Betterverse can't be accessed

by any outsider.

If you give anyone access to it,

then our firewall will be weakened and the code will become vulnerable.

I've invested all of this company's funds into Betterverse.

It's privacy cannot be compromised.

Is everyone in this room clear on that?

-Yes, ma'am. -Yes, ma'am.

I tried to talk to them about the noise and working different hours, but

apparently they have a deadline.

New institute, new hostels. Who's coming here?

Who knows?

Who cares?

I'm just coming after throwing water on Samay.

Hello, kids!

How are you? How are you? Oh! Hey, easy, easy.

-Hey, not there, not there… -Mohammad, c'mon kick it…

-Okay, once again. -Puchki, don't you want to go

-and play with Sid uncle too? -No.

-Why? You want to sit with me? -You are my favourite.

You know what? You are my favourite too.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

She said, I am her favourite.

The thought about Hyderabad is worrying you, right?

It's not just a three-month summer course.

It's the question of these children's entire life.

The people at Adapt have given me a very big responsibility.

Only given to visionaries.

And shouldn't you be happy about this?

I mean, just like you, there's someone out there,

who's chosen talent over fees…

But you know, LLIT's USP doesn't lie in its scholarship.

There are so many colleges in that campus, but it's only at LLIT,

that if a student tends up making a mistake,

he will not be checked for it.

And when, there's no fear of making mistakes,

then we can dream of the impossible.

And that's how a genius is born, isn't it?

Two geniuses had come to me as well.

You know,

Anmol's app could have easily helped thousands of people.

Hmm.

But he had something else on his mind.

He had love on his mind, Sid sir.

Hmm.

He's happy, isn't he?

-Ya. -That's it!

Good.

And Dimple.

You know, she was my catalyst.

NNIT's rejection really broke her heart.

Seeing her in that state made me decide that for minds like hers,

an institute is needed.

And she's the one, who doesn't want to join.

-Now she doesn't reply to my messages. -The process in which a function,

calls itself directly or indirectly,

is called recursion.

This call wasn't scheduled in your busy calendar.

I was missing you too much.

Why aren't we meeting in 3D?

Your Betterverse isn't fixed till now?

Oh, it's fixed.

But Nandini ma'am really scared us, ya.

But I have an idea through which we can meet in 3D.

What?

Come to Hyderabad, na.

This thing again?

I'm not asking for a visit.

I'm saying you should shift to Hyderabad for a while.

We can check out some colleges for you here, and,

I'll obviously take care of all the expenses.

Please, Boo-boo.

Boo-boo?

No. Rejected.

Why don't you come here?

This time we'll make a scene in Ambala, for sure.

Really?

How?

Can you be here on Thursday?

Mummy-papa will be in a satsang, so I'll be alone for two hours.

I like the sound of 'Satsang'.

So, venue arranged.

What about the performance?

Oh, you have no idea how much thought I've given to the performance.

So have I.

So, should we discuss the flow once?

See. We'll obviously start with kissing.

But we are already very good at kissing. What comes next?

Oh no, your mic is on, Dimple!

Then, I will, undress you.

Listen, will you be wearing a shirt?

I want to unbutton your shirt, slowly.

See, slowly I'm not going to do anything. I'm warning you.

Okay, tell me what is your take on hickies?

Hello, Dimple Ahuja! Can you not hear me?

There are going to be many hickies.

But you are not allowed to give hickies.

What the hell? Why not?

Because you can roam around with the hickies, I can't do that.

Please, can someone call her?

Any other restrictions, tell me now itself.

-I assume, you'll get the condoms, right? -Oh, my God, Dimple

Ahuja, what's going on?

What about flavours?

-Dimple, your mic is on! -I'll send you options.

But there's one problem.

-My bed creaks a lot. -Can you mute your mic, please!

That's okay.

We'll put the mattress on the floor.

But we'll need to keep the noise levels really low overall.

Our neighbours shouldn't hear anything.

Don't worry, a hundred and eleven people have heard everything now.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!

The father's finally a senior manager.

The daughter's finally of drinking age.

What do you say?

Hmm? Cheers to that?

Cheers!

Sit, beta.

I've spoken to Sid sir.

What's the use, papa?

I'm sure, I'll fail there as well.

Arey, that's life.

You won't at least regret the fact, that you didn't even try.

I have already tried.

IIT, NIT, BITS.

I didn't get selected anywhere.

Arey, that was only because, after Nandini Nahata rejected you,

you gave up on yourself, beta.

It's been three years. I can't see you wilting away like this.

Beta, Dimple,

beta, if you ever face a problem in your life, it's not your problem to deal with.

It's my problem.

I just want my firebrand daughter to shine again.

One minute, one minute. Look,

Look here, this, I will give it all up, beta. Just say yes once.

Just once.

-Do you know the full form of LLIT? -No, tell me.

-Lady Lovelace Institute of Technology. -Wow!

The very first computer programmer in the world was Lady Lovelace.

It's named after her.

It was a woman.

There will be a day, when an institute will be named

after my daughter. Yes.

What's going on here? Something illegal or what? Do you want us all behind bars?

-Drinking age is 25. -Hey… Uh…

In Delhi. It's 21 in Haryana.

Forget Haryana. Simple, sit here with us. Come, sit down!

Our daughter is going to Hyderabad! That calls for a toast!

-No, no. I don't want. -Arey, go on, drink up. You've been of

legal drinking age in every state for many years! Drink it! Drink it!

Take it easy.

-Slowly! Slowly! -Mummy!

-Yes! -Some make sacrifices in the real world

for their loved ones, while others take risks for them in the virtual world.

But you had said, no more Betterverse.

Fear is not for the people in love?

Okay, check this out.

I've worked so hard on this virtual world,

that I should be able to decide who gets to enter it.

After all, for me, love is greater than work.

Man, it must have taken you months to design this.

People build monuments like Taj Mahal for love. This Betterverse is nothing.

So you're in love with Nandini ma'am?

Guess what? There's a new tech institute coming

up in our university campus.

In fact, right next to NNIT. LLIT.

-And you know what? -Hmm?

Your very own Sid sir is starting it.

-Good morning, sir. -Good morning.

Wow! Sid sir's new college?

Ya, and apparently Adapt's investors have invited him to do this.

And you know the best part?

That it's fully scholarship-based.

For students who deserve it,

but lack the resources.

I really wish, you could be here too.

Rishi…

Hmm?

Look at that.

You know, there's a big difference between

the real and the virtual world.

But Sai told me the debugging is done. Maybe I should dig into UI.

No. I don't think it's a UI issue.

-Something else is going on. -When there's a issue in the virtual

world, I can get into the code, break it down and find a way to fix it.

But the solutions to the real world issues aren't found in any code.

You know when things really go wrong?

When someone has such a big issue in their real life,

that they start looking for solutions in the virtual world.
