Original subtitles

Fear your deeds, not God. God forgives. Karma does not.

Since childhood, we are taught

that good and bad deeds are tallied by the one above.

So no matter how badly someone harms you,

you should forgive them.

The fire of revenge often burns one from within.

But if everything you love has already been burnt to ashes,

only one option remains...

Karma!

-Oof, you're killing me. -Thank you.

Where is your Prince Charming?

On the beach. Taking a walk.

On the night of your engagement party, can't you two control this drama?

Now please go and pacify him. The auspicious timing is nearing.

1, 2, 3!

Don't you have a better idea than this?

I do.

An Indian bride in a white dress. Interesting...

You shouldn't be here.

Neither should you.

Amazing.

Despite living in Mumbai, I've never seen Alibaug in full glory like this.

We keep it hidden from the public on purpose.

Or we'd have to contend with the crowds and traffic here too.

Hmm.

Indrani ma'am is asking for you, Mr. Kothari.

All right.

Being summoned by the boss, are we?

There's no contending with her.

She's the CEO of the home and the heart. Excuse me.

Shit, Dash.

Race you!

I don't like speeches at all.

But this is the only way to stop you all from gossiping.

Kaushal and I are overjoyed

that you all

have come to celebrate with us

the love and the engagement

of our

darling Ahaan.

And the lovely

Karma.

The Kotharis have a tradition.

The family of the bride welcomes all with jaggery.

But we will fulfil this obligation for you.

Hey! Who's there?

-Some fucking creepster. -Come on, dude, it's a private party.

Karma has won over the heart

that was not easy to win.

Mine.

And these two together

have turned me into a mother-in-law.

But don't worry. Nothing is going to change.

Neither my opinions...

nor my outfits.

After all, one must eventually

embrace one's Karma.

Where is my son?

Mom! Mom!... Ahaanu…

Get away from my son.

Ahaan!

Ahaan!

Usually, houses here don't go on rent. One has to buy them.

Why are you thinking so much, ma'am?

I know you've come from Dubai.

But equally posh people live around here.

And post-COVID, the market has only gotten hotter.

And this house,

Ashiana,

is even more famous.

And you're lucky

because the owners are getting a divorce.

His wife created such a ruckus that between them it's absolute war!

A divorce was inevitable.

He was having an affair with a girl half his age.

-Found you! -Oh, you found me!

Papa.

I love you infinity.

And I love you double infinity, my baby.

There is a storage shed outside that's included, so...

That? That's the Kothari Mansion.

The Kotharis are the big boss of billionaires.

You will not get a better location in Alibaug.

Which is why rent is a bit high and--

Draw up the papers in the name of Karma Talwar, please.

Sure.

Did Viresh tell you they were putting up Ashiana on rent?

Dolly didn't mention anything to me.

Hold on a sec.

An unknown has entered Alibaug without your permission?

Who's the lucky party?

Luck?

Well, I for one need some luck.

Yeah, I'll wait for your call. Hmm.

-Khanna? -Hmm.

Someone else must have made a counteroffer.

Someone from Ahmedabad.

They're scaring him by saying

the rules in Alibaug have gotten quite strict.

Rules are not for kings.

He was going to come tomorrow.

Now he's using his wife as an excuse.

-There's some holy festival tomorrow? -Karwa Chauth.

Invite them both. I'll handle the rest.

How will you take care of all this--

Just come home. I'm so hung over.

-Papa! -Mira!

I swear I'll turn off the Wi-Fi in this house.

But then how will you spy on everyone?

Kaushal, this is not funny.

Why do you travel so much?

When you're not here, there's no one to take my side.

Listen, I got you the shoes from Tokyo.

-Really? -In your room.

-Go on, have a look. -Thank you, thank you.

She's getting out of hand, Kaushal--

Uh, I have to go. Okay?

-Where? Golf? -How... how do you know?

I'll see you.

Here you go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Capt. Vedant Koli, I'm happy you are thinking of settling down with me,

but I need to go to Mumbai for just an hour.

-Thank you, Percy. That will be all. -Sorry, Mr. Khan, I can't take you.

-What? -I've told my friend. He'll take you.

Don't be ridiculous. Zane Khan does not change his plans.

And anyway, I'd go with your friend,

but I doubt his biceps are as big as yours.

-Now, can we please leave? -Sorry, sir.

Anyway, I'm going to Lakshadweep next week with Ambika

-to become a diving instructor. -What?

Are you okay?

Do you know how much therapy I had to do

just to overcome my fear of water and...

become comfortable with Ambika?

And now you're taking her to Lakshadweep?

I can't travel without her!

Okay. If you, Captain Sexy, want to go, you can go.

Just sell me the boat. Name your price.

Not for sale, sir.

Everything has a price tag.

-Just show me yours. -Brother.

Sell it for double the price and buy a better boat.

-I like you, Darsh. -Dash.

So, you've started talking like these rich people.

I'm going to be one of them, so why not?

This is all menial labour to pass the time.

Come on. I'll give you a sweet deal.

Sorry, Mr. Khan.

No deal.

Why do you love Ambika that much?

Captain?

Whoa.

Mother Durga?

Not Durga, Ambika.

Softer version.

But the vibe is the same as Queen Indrani's, right?

Very... full on.

-Who? -Oh, my God.

Come here right now. I have five minutes to update your data.

Okay.

Okay, so...

Indrani Kumar. Nineties Bollywood Queen.

And now Alibaug's Queen Mother.

She's changed the entire geography of Mumbai's high society.

In fact, she hosts so many parties

that they had to appoint an in-house event planner.

Moi.

Actually, in a weird roundabout way,

it's all thanks to you.

So, madam got the idea that tomorrow there will be a lavish event

to celebrate Karwa Chauth for all of Alibaug's who's who.

And naturally, if the event doesn't go viral,

then it's back to waitressing in Wimbledon for me.

Will I get an invite?

You are now part of Alibaug's rich set, fresh off the boat.

You will get an invite.

But first tell me this.

Whom do you plan on fasting for, hmm?

For my future husband, of course.

-Oh. Look at us. -Aww.

Oh, shit! Shit, I'm late. I have to run.

Bye-bye! I'll call you later, bye.

Oh, yes, of course.

No problem at all.

Buh-bye.

Ah.

The whole festival committee's here. Great.

Where's Dolly? In the foyer.

Okay.

What would she even do here? We're discussing Karwa Chauth,

and her marriage met with a bitter end.

Shall I send for some more sweets, Sharmilee?

To get rid of that bitter taste in your mouth.

All right, ladies, let's start.

For the first time, a Karwa Chauth function isn't taking place

in Ashiana

but here.

In my house.

If you all don't mind.

We should be thanking you.

So, we'll have to dress up...

Ma'am, we have the confirmations from everyone in Alibaug.

We're getting requests from Mumbai too.

Refuse them.

This is a holy ritual, not a spectacle.

There will be no press. And no one will be taking any photos or videos.

This function is only for those in Alibaug who are fasting

and, of course, your families.

Are you okay?

Why didn't you tell me you were putting Ashiana on rent?

How could I tell you, Indrani?

It's so goddamn embarrassing.

He wants to buy his mistress a love nest.

As soon as everyone hears the news,

these witches are going to be all over it.

As it is, they're jealous of me because of our friendship.

Now they'll have an excuse to send me back to Navsari.

No one is sending you anywhere.

You're my best friend.

But you have to be strong. If you show weakness,

they will destroy you.

So, don't.

Cheer up.

Papa, I'm scared of the waves.

It's all right.

Just stand your ground.

And no wave will dare to move you.

Really?

You know Papa always speaks the truth

because my name is Satyajeet!

Don't be scared. Go ahead.

I'm with you.

Careful.

The currents are quite strong today.

You'll get carried away.

I'll be fine.

You have rented Ashiana, right?

Oh, you're Dolly Bhatia?

It's so nice to finally meet you.

It's a beautiful house. Visit whenever you feel like.

I make great masala chai.

Sweet.

A bit of advice.

Over here, people see niceness as a weakness.

They will eat you alive.

Be careful out there.

The People's Cooperative Bank scam continues to unearth new secrets.

Due to the biggest bank scam in the country till date,

thousands of middle-class families have lost their life savings.

In an instant, people went bankrupt.

The main accused in the scam,

General Manager of the Kothari Group, Satyajeet Mehra,

ran into more trouble when his personal assistant, Dolly Bhatia,

took the witness stand.

Let's hear what she had to say to the press.

Satyajeet Mehra took out a loan of Rs. 3,000 crore

and had it transferred to his offshore accounts.

Because of this theft, the common people's hard-earned money

and life savings vanished instantly.

Simba, come here!

-Ambu! Ambu! -Check here!

-Papa! Papa! -Let go!

-Let her go! -Papa!

Ambu!

-What are you doing? -Papa!

-Ambu! -Papa!

-Ambu! -Papa!

Ambu!

Papa!

Thousands of middle-class families have been brought to the streets.

So many people drank poison. Children were orphaned.

But Satyajeet Mehra did not care.

He's a demon--

Place the camera somewhere around here

so that the moon can be seen on the screen. Okay?

Oh. Clouds. Great.

Karma.

Did you get my measurements?

Yes, I'm just waiting on the alterations.

Thank you, Reema.

You're such an angel for doing this.

And get something killer for yourself too, okay?

You don't get a second chance to make first impressions in Alibaug.

Don't worry.

I have a very special thing in mind.

Knowing you. I'm sure!

Bye.

Excuse me? Reema?

I can't believe that I'm actually gonna be at a Karwa Chauth party.

Mira, you're not fasting for anyone. You're too young.

It's not about the fast, Mom. It's about the 'Gram.

I wanna reach ten million followers.

Gen Z is with me, but the traditionals aren't committing.

-This is my chance. -This is our life.

Not some show.

No photos and no videos will be allowed.

Rules are not for kings. You say that, right?

-I want this one. -It's gorgeous, babe.

I'll get it myself.

-Thank you. -Good day, sir.

-How are you? Thank you. -Good day, sir.

Ahaanu!

Sir's in the pool.

Ahaanu!

Your clothes, they're all wet.

You can actually see her clothes?

Even Alibaug's heat couldn't melt you, Mom.

And Boston's cold didn't dim your enthusiasm.

I saw that ruckus.

Did you think I wouldn't find out?

I follow you...

and your friends on Insta.

That's not called following, Ma. It's called stalking.

Madam Remote Control, it was the end-of-semester party.

And we were dancing to the remixes of your Bollywood songs.

And if you saw the whole thing, was I good?

Mom, you have to do it! Come, Ahaan.

Stop it, Mira. The staff is watching.

-That's okay, come. -No, Ahaan.

Come, come.

-You have to, you have to. -No!

Come on, wasn't it something like this?

No! It's...

Love it, love it, love it.

Ouch! Ahaan, stop!

Where's Dad?

Now I know why Indrani glows so much.

You make me work too much, man.

In a hurry for Karwa Chauth?

Kaushal, what's wrong?

Kaushal! Kaushal!

Thank you.

Listen, here are the vendors' numbers. Here are the accounts.

Understand it properly, okay?

OMG, this place is so nice.

Oh, my God! Hi!

Tell me if you're going to be able to handle this or not.

If you don't trust me to, don't leave.

You can stay here and save Dad's cafe.

Works?

So what? Just clean it.

Hey.

Welcome to Bombil Cafe, ladies and, uh, gentleman.

Here's the menu.

-What would you like to have? -Waiter,

three gin-and-tonics, please. With extra ice.

Uh, first of all, it's not "waiter." I'm the owner.

-And outside food is not allowed. -I'm sorry.

Oh, this isn't outside food. It's from my home.

-What? -Nothing.

What?

Hello?

You just need to get the order.

She'll post with #BombilCafeIsTheBest.

She'll have to post that anyway because it is the best.

@TheLifeOfMiraKothari?

Really?

Well, I won't tag the cafe or you.

@WhateverYourNameIs.

Cool. I'll take my chances then.

-What? -Anyway...

It's complimentary.

@DashKoli420.

Welcome to Bombil Cafe again. Thank you.

Oh, my God!

-Don't worry. It will be all right. -What's wrong with him?

-Things will be taken care of. -He'll be okay, right? Careful.

Dolly ma'am? Oh, my God!

What's happened to your husband? Is he okay?

I can drop you to the hospital. I can--

No, umm...

-I have my car. -Are you sure?

Yeah.

S-see you.

Move.

Oh, thank God.

I thought you'd be in surgery.

-What happened? -Acute abdominal dyspepsia.

In simpler language, stomach cramps.

On the phone, they told us it was a heart attack.

The symptoms are similar.

Your husband is perfectly fine.

Just have him stay away from kebabs.

Didn't you go to play golf?

Yes, but my game was off,

so I left.

I thought some nice kebabs might change my mood, so...

I'm sorry if I scared you, darling.

To change your mood...

don't change our life, Kaushal.

Are you here to book the boat service?

No.

I'm here for Mr. Dayanand Koli.

I'm from the District Bank of Raigad.

-From where? -Sir.

Come. I'm Dayanand Koli.

Dad, what's going on?

Simba, come on.

Simba, where are you going?

Simba. Simba, where are you going?

-Simba... -Simba?

Oh, my God, hi.

Simba, you're so big!

Hi!

Oh, my...

Hi, I'm Vedant.

Hi, I'm Ambika.

Your doggie is so cute.

Sorry, he usually doesn't behave like this, but...

One minute, his leash... One minute... sorry.

It's... it's fine. It's fine.

It's fine.

Okay.

Your clothes have gotten dirty. I...

can pay for the dry cleaning.

There's no need.

But it's my fault, so...

Why don't I get you something to eat?

My cafe's right here, Bombil Cafe.

Oh!

I'm not asking you to eat with me! No, no...

You can eat with whoever you want, whenever you want.

It's fine.

-Love the nose, by the way. -Dr. Swati's work of art...

Hi, ladies.

-Karma! -Hi.

Thank you so much for this outfit.

You look amazing.

Even Queen Indrani was agape. Stared at me for two seconds.

Now, come on. I'm going to give you a tutorial on Alibaug society.

Okay, over there?

The Queen of Murud-Janjira.

That snob with the cigar...

Whatever doesn't belong to Kaushal,

he owns it.

Who's that in the green kurta?

That is our poor little rich boy, Ahaan Kothari.

The heir to Kothari Global.

He was in high spirits, driving his Lamborghini on the Sea Link bridge.

And high on spirits too. So... boom.

God.

Lucky nothing happened to him.

Something did happen!

Ahaan can't drink for a year.

And the cheerleader he was with was made rich by mummy-daddy.

And all the news channels were silenced.

Oh, my God! I strictly said no filming.

But it's Zane Khan.

Have you ever felt like your phone is listening to you?

Zane is listening to you.

All the security systems for all sites and apps are made by his company.

He's rich, so he's on the list.

Like you.

Ooh.

And there's Queen Indrani, making an entrance.

The one and only.

You have been spotted.

Shall I introduce you?

Not now.

We know you are hungry and thirsty,

waiting impatiently to sight the moon.

Unfortunately, the moon is hiding behind the clouds.

Fortunately, we know how to slit the clouds.

Shall we?

But...

not without my best friend.

Dolly Bhatia, please join us.

Come on, let's go.

Indrani ma'am.

This is Karma Talwar. She's the one who rented Ashiana.

She was a big donor at the Commonwealth Fundraiser

where I worked.

Indrani ma'am, it's such a pleasure.

Dolly ma'am, how's your husband?

He got to the hospital on time, right?

Coast Side Hotel is quite far away.

Anyway, I didn't mean to interrupt. Please carry on.

Indrani.

Indrani.

Indrani.

Please...

Indrani, please!

Let me explain.

You're my best friend.

Actually, Dolly. Come sit here. Next to me.

Near the door.

What's wrong?

You're my best friend.

Attention, everybody!

Dolly hid something from all of us.

She's leaving Alibaug...

to go back to her Navsari.

What can I do? I must support you in your decision.

Otherwise, what kind of a friend would I be?

And anyway...

maintaining a friendship is a skill I learnt from you, Dolly.

Wherever you go, Dolly dearest,

I will never forget you.

Security, make sure you drop Dolly madam all the way outside.

Come on.

Please, ma'am.

Baby, I think Simba has run off somewhere. Get him.

-Ambu! Ambu! -Check over there.

Help me!

Help...

Help, Papa!

Help my papa...

You haven't changed, and neither have your conversations.

It's all the same.

Oh! I'm... I'm so sorry.

-It's okay. -I'm so sorry...

Uh, sorry.

I wasn't looking. Totally my fault. I--

Don't let all this get to you.

It's all for show.

Okay, umm...

-Thanks. -Are you new here?

Yeah.

I think I need some tips for survival.

Let me tell you something.

I'm from here, and I still need tips for survival.

Ahaan.

-Nice to meet you. -Nice meeting you too.

Gotta hand it to you, Kaushal.

Nothing is off-limits for the Kotharis.

Rules aren't for kings.

And especially not for queens.

-So? -All will be well.

So, whom are you fasting for?

Umm, Mr. Right?

-Don't laugh. -"Mr. Right."

Welcome to Alibaug.

Cheers.

Ms. Talwar, looks like you didn't wait for the moon to come out.

The moon came out at 8.09 p.m., Indrani ma'am.

It's just that we couldn't see it from here.

Who are you, Ms. Talwar?

CEO, Talwar Holdings.

That answer raises even more questions.

Come on, Ahaan. Let's go.

I'll see you around.

You didn't have to humiliate Dolly like that--

I couldn't humiliate you, could I?

That's why I had to do it to her. She was my friend, Kaushal.

You could've chosen anyone. Why her?

You answer that question. When are you ever with me?

When I changed my entire life for you.

And I destroyed a man's life for you!

That was your idea.

Ambika Mehra?

You finally came back.

I hardly recognised you.

But that's what you intended.

Welcome back, Ambika Mehra.

Do this again and I'll break your neck.

People ask guests if they'd like tea.

You prefer ninja moves, so I--

If your dad could see this, he'd be so hurt.

-He trusted me. -He trusted everyone.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to help you, Aunty.

I don't need help, Uncle Zane.

I saw what they did to your dad.

You need my help.

These people are dangerous.

I said I don't need help. Get out.

And what about Vedant Koli?

Who is still floating on hope in Ambika Mehra's little boat?

Don't involve him.

Ambika Mehra doesn't exist anymore.

SHRADDHANJALI REFORM HOME

Hi. I'm Zane Khan. You might've heard of me.

My company is Z.I.P.

I'm also on this month's Money Today's cover page.

Congratulations. I really don't care.

How rude.

You're a 49% partner in this very company.

-The same company that your dad-- -I don't have a dad.

And for the last time, I don't want to meet that demon.

Didn't anyone tell you?

Your dad...

Around six weeks ago...

It happened in jail.

I'm sorry.

This company of mine, Z.I.P.,

was born because of your papa--

I don't want this cursed money.

It was stolen from innocent people--

That's what they want you to believe.

There was only one innocent person, and that was your papa.

Your papa wanted to get this to you.

Here.

Go through it and understand it.

My darling Ambu. If you're reading this, it means I'm no more.

I know you think I'm a demon.

But I'm innocent.

Ambu!

-Papa! -Ambu!

I couldn't tell the world my truth,

and I can't hide it from you.

The letters in this box

will answer your questions.

But you have to make me a promise.

Forget everything and move on.

You have to forgive them.

Only this one promise, I can't keep.

These sinners have snatched your right to justice from you

and my childhood from me.

They will have to pay for that.

You had no other option but to forgive them.

But I do.

Revenge.

For the last four years, I've watered this revenge with my blood.

And today is the beginning.

An eye for an eye.

Blood for blood.

And betrayal for betrayal.

Betrayal hurts the most when it comes from a person you love intensely.

In your story, maybe she got her forgiveness.

But nobody in this story will be forgiven.

Find out who Karma Talwar is...

where she's from, who her family is.

I want to know everything.

Fear your deeds, not God.

God forgives,

but Karma does not.

If you want to know someone, you should look at their choices.

If only life gave everyone a choice.

This girl is trying to trap Ahaan. But I won't let that happen.

What do you think is an ideal marriage?

An honest one? Whatever it is, one should not lie.

She should also know there is a Romeo here too.

-Karma is your friend, right? -What do you want, bro?

Karma Talwar.

Everyone has a weakness.

And I will find yours.

-Vedant is just a friend. -I'm not fucking blind, Karma!

You say something, you do something else.

To cover it up, you just lie.

You never looked at me the way you looked at Satyajeet.

I love you, Satya.

They didn't just take away Papa's career.

They took everything.

Including me.

If you're out to bury someone for revenge,

then you should dig two graves.

One for your enemy and one for yourself.
