What shall we do now?
We are not even half his age.
Not like he would have lost anything
by giving away my dad's trademark.
Bloody thief.
Forget it, Shakes.
It's okay.
We'll figure it out.
Gondogol?
But honestly speaking,
no one could get the name right.
So… maybe it's a good thing.
-Firoo. -What?
What's the name of our beer?
Oh, wait, I know.
It was… Gogodol.
No, wait. I've got it. It's Gondomol.
Because I remember at one point it was Gandogelo.
But last I remember it was something like…
Golmatol.
See what I mean?
I guess we need a new name.
Oye Beery.
No.
Brewstrap.
-No. -No.
What about Daru Daisies?
Isn't that a song?
Daru Daisies…
Probably!
Beeritas sounds cute.
Cute… but…
it's not like Gondogol.
Put me in a magazine, girls,
because I look hot.
Tell me honestly, how do I look?
Is it giving? Is it a ten out of ten?
-Tell me. -You are looking… so chakachak!
What the… What does that mean?
It's a compliment.
-Are you sure? -Yes.
Chakachak.
-Chakachak. -Chakachak.
-I love it, chakachak. -Chakachak.
What?
Name?
Chaka Chak.
Firoo.
Chaka Chak.
Alright, fine. You don't have to keep repeating it.
What do we do?
-Should we give it a try? -I think so.
-Okay. Good. -Why not? Add it to the list.
Yeah.
-Chaka Chak. -Chaka Chak.
My companion
My eternal partner, all day long
I find myself telling stories That begin with you
My eternal partner, all day long
Life is nothing but the moments I spend with you
My eternal partner, all day long
I find myself telling stories That begin with you
My eternal partner, all day long
Life is nothing but the moments I spend with you
You know, I used to always say,
I invest in people and not businesses.
But lately, I have come to realize
that it's the intention behind the business
and the learning agility that really matter.
Yes.
But you two have caught a cultural shift,
and along with that
you are building your team, too.
-You have got Hanna Kroos on board. -Yes, sir.
So it's not just about numbers.
It's about leadership and building your tribe.
-Right. -Absolutely. Yeah.
So, well done, girls.
-Thank you. -Thank you. Thank you, sir.
Hanna is truly a visionary, and
we are really lucky to have her on our team.
By the way, where is this visionary Hanna of yours?
Is she on a cruise?
No, sir…
You know Delhi traffic. She isn't familiar with the roads here.
She will be here.
Must be on her way, sir.
-Did you send her the right address? -Yes. I sent it yesterday.
Excuse me a second. I will just be right back.
Nice glasses, sir.
Shakes.
Can I talk to you for a second?
I can't believe that
she used us to get a better deal.
I knew that Hanna would do something shady.
It's a strange world.
Nobody trusts you until you are successful.
What do we do now?
Something radical.
Look what I got you.
Keep it.
Salli boti.
Hold on.
Why did you make salli boti, instead of dal and roti today?
What do you want?
Actually, I wanted to talk to you about
-Granny's… -Ghost?
I also feel her presence. I feel petrified here.
I am not able to sleep.
Why are you laughing?
I was going to talk about Granny's FD. But okay.
Yes, yes. I was also kidding.
Right.
What the hell, Anahita?
What do you want? Just tell me.
I need to break the FD.
What?
Why?
I need seed capital for the business
and your signature too.
Have you taken my words too seriously?
You have the ability and stability.
Once upon a time, you had a salary too.
You used to tell me…
that I am always doing things for other people.
Now I want to do this one thing for myself,
and you can't even support me with that?
Support?
What more do I do to support you?
You took over my office. You want our wealth also.
After a few weeks, you can take my kidney too.
Have you… you know, this whole place runs on my bank account.
No salli boti for you.
And I am breaking the FD.
I am breaking your face, Anahita. Bring that back.
What the hell!
Hi, how is Cal?
Stuck in time, babe. Stuck in time.
You tell me. What's going on?
So finally, I spoke to Firoo. And he is being really difficult.
But I will manage.
Now you convince whoever you have to convince.
"Whoever"? Haven't you met Radha?
Nobody can be more difficult than Radha.
Good luck with that.
And good luck to me also. Because hopefully,
today, I will register the trademark.
-Pray for me. -Sis,
we need payers, not prayers.
True that.
Okay, bye then, I am getting late for the wedding.
Madam.
This isn't a park. There's a token system.
Please wait for your turn.
Sorry.
Shikha, I thought you must have learned something from your dad's mistake.
But you are one step ahead of him.
Mom, what happened with Dad was cheating.
That doesn't mean his idea was bad.
I really believe in it.
I am not hearing this for the first time.
I know. I know.
Mom, I didn't have any other option.
I lost my job, and I have mortgaged your home.
What?
Excuse me.
Are you strolling in a garden?
Can't you see it's a token system? Go to the back of the line.
Yell at me, Mom, yell all you want. But…
your silent treatment is really giving me anxiety.
When nobody listens to me, why should I waste my time?
Do you listen to me?
I have told you so many times
that your dad wasn't destined for this dream.
And neither are you.
So, will you please just let it go?
You think I haven't tried?
I can't.
This business is the only dream I have.
The current state of our family
is like being caught between two worlds.
My Marwari family thinks we are very artistic.
While Sunjoy's Bengali family thinks
we are too business-minded.
And now, because of you,
all these people will ridicule us behind our backs.
Let those people go to hell.
Your Bengali
versus Marwari war…
Nobody can solve that.
But the day my business is successful,
the same people will say,
"We knew Shikha would do it. She was so smart."
Oh, my God, Shikha!
When unsuccessful people preach, it's not called wisdom.
Okay. Smile.
I want a good photo.
Hello. Hello.
-Congratulations. -Thank you. Thank you.
-Congratulations. -Thank you.
Hello, Auntie. Hello, Uncle.
What is he doing here?
Excuse me.
He is our most esteemed guest.
We sent sweets and invites to all his houses.
That's why he came here today.
His presence is my honor.
Imma bounce.
All the best.
Congratulations.
Lunch break.
-Oh, man. -What?
Sir.
Hello, sir. How are you?
I have come for trademark registration.
I just want to know what exactly the procedure is.
Not procedure. A quick fix.
Look. You can either stand in line like ordinary people
and waste your life.
Or I can give you three offers.
Offer?
2000 rupees to skip the queue. 5000 rupees to skip the officer.
10000 rupees is the best one.
Direct stamp and the paper will be in your hand.
Yeah. One second.
Keep that inside.
Oh…
Oh.
So you mean a bribe?
-Payment sent. -Crazy girl.
Who's Aunt Gugi with?
Ladies.
Meet Victor Jehangir. My friend.
All the way from France.
Welcome to Kolkata, Victor.
Well, where in France?
Greetings, madam.
I am sorry.
Hello, ladies.
My name is Victor Jehangir.
I am from a petty village in France called Pons.
Come on, Victor. Don't try to be humble.
Victor is a famous venture capitalist.
He has come to India to find new startups.
That's just great, Victor.
How did you meet Gugi while looking for businesses?
You see, one fine day, I was strolling down the streets of Kolkata.
And suddenly, my heart craved
an authentic croissant.
Delicate layers, with a flicky personality.
Soft…
What do you say? Velvety.
Just in the right places.
And then, suddenly, voila.
Gugi was in front of me.
And I just knew
the search had come to an end.
Croissant and Gugi?
Had you said fulko luchi, it was understandable.
Sorry.
That was a good one, madam.
Gugi, you should be thankful
for having such friends.
Friendship is not friendship if it's not on the verge of breaking.
Correct.
So, why India, Mr. Jehangir?
Aren't there any startups in France?
Honestly speaking, madam, I have always been a settler.
Perhaps on the road, kind of a person.
So, whether I stay in Florence
or Patagonia,
my heart will always be Indian.
Hold on.
You said you are from the province.
Isn't Florence in Italy?
Where are you really from, Mr. Jehangir?
See this flower.
Does it truly belong to the place
where it bloomed?
Or perhaps…
it belongs to the lady
who will enhance its beauty.
Pardon my Hindi.
Who is he?
Thank you. Thank you.
Oh, my. You had got me in a fix, madam.
Was she Byomkesh Bakshi's wife?
It's good that I am a method actor,
or else we would have been caught.
Don't worry. They are just jealous.
It's 15000 rupees. Count it and listen.
Next Wednesday is bridge night at the Saturday Club.
I will say that my boyfriend is an African forest ranger.
So, prepare properly.
I could be…
-Very, very nice. -Thank you.
Madam, please remember.
I am available for kitty parties, birthday parties, birthday dates.
Divorce parties.
I heard they're very popular these days, in your circle especially.
-Yes. Yes. I will. -Yeah.
-My card. -I have got that one.
-Oh, you… -See you on Wednesday.
Driver.
CHAKA CHAK
Hi.
How was it?
Walia scarred me again.
I know. I am so sorry.
He is like a demon in your life.
-Never mind. -Let's get to work.
Yes.
Okay. So, ideally, we wanted five crores.
-Yes. -But we only managed 2.5 crores as yet
between the two of us.
We will need a minimum of three crores.
How will we get it? I have no idea.
My kidneys.
-Can you just shut up and pay attention? -I am sorry. I am sorry.
Sorry. Yes. Speak. Sorry.
So I am thinking that we will focus on the funds we already have.
Okay? So, let's go step by step.
Brewmaster.
This is our secret ancestral recipe.
Rose and black cardamom.
There you go, ladies.
Thank you.
So, the deal is…
I am only available in the afternoons.
But you will have to give me a ride to and from college.
I observe fast on
Thursdays and Saturdays.
So, I cannot touch alcohol.
Is this beer or biryani?
Biryani.
Using a snifter glass will keep the aroma concentrated.
Next, you will ask what is the snifter pour for.
Because we fill it with American hops,
so the aroma keeps increasing.
Care-- Carefully.
Beer must be consumed at the right temperature.
-Right? -Right.
Take four deep breaths.
You are breathing too slowly. Breathe faster.
Okay, done. Now gulp it down.
Wait. Wait. Stop. What are you guys doing?
Set it back down, please.
Keep it down.
You are not holding a glass of buttermilk.
Correct.
It's beer.
The basic rule of beer is to drink it at the right temperature.
Don't let it get warm. Hold it like this.
Let me show you how.
Pick up your glass with respect.
Take a breath.
What is in this?
Wait. Let me guess. I know.
Something citrusy.
Orange.
Yes. Right?
No?
Normally, hops are not so overpowering.
But this is an IPA, so…
So this is not a mistake.
Nice.
You couldn't catch the coriander seeds.
Sorry.
Coriander seeds.
I will have to go.
Listen.
Don't touch anything.
Of course.
Shikha, stop it.
Shikha, don't touch anything.
Let me see whether he makes beer or if he does black magic too.
Shikha, don't touch anything.
If he makes such good beer, why isn't he successful?
Shikha. Shikha.
Don't touch anything.
-Oh, my God. -This one is good too.
Do you think he is like a serial killer?
He mixes people's blood in his beer,
and experiments--
Shikha.
We're doomed.
Get out.
Why are you so pissed off?
It's not like anything's on fire.
-I just spilled a little beer. -Little?
That little beer contains my blood.
If you cannot respect beer, do something else in your life.
Bloody hypocrites!
Your beer is amazing.
But as you can see…
Nice to meet you.
Wait. Wait. Wait…
I mean, I am…
sor…
so… sorry.
I am a little emotional about beer.
A little?
No. I am very emotional about it. I go crazy. I know. I…
I guarantee I'll stay in control.
I…
As you can see, I need this job desperately.
Dobby, say hello to these ladies.
-Shikha. Can we have a word, please? -Hello.
-Excuse me. -Yeah. One second.
I know what you're thinking, but I don't think it's a good idea.
You know, I am only sure of the beer that I tasted.
I am also sure of it. But he is a psycho.
How will we handle him?
You're only crazy or a psycho,
until you make it.
After that, you are a genius.
Making beer is not just work for him.
He'll put his heart and soul into it.
I think we should give him a chance.
I suppose so.
Don't you act in TV serials?
Sir, we were saying…
If you don't,
you should do it.
You see, you have the look…
of a serial heroine.
If you do it, you will be a hit.
Mr. Dubey, in the past month, there have been
twelve follow-up emails and fifty-five phone calls.
Can you give us a hint?
How soon can we get the excise license?
What can I tell you, madam?
Everybody wants to be an entrepreneur.
But you ladies
are smart and come from a decent home.
So, I'll be frank with you.
It will take at least eight to ten months.
No…
Sir, eight months? That's too long.
Excuse me.
Shikha, stop it.
What?
Bastard.
Velvet Salute.
Shikha!
21-year-old Sherry Oak.
You work in duty free. Have you forgotten your duty?
You have lost your mind.
I won't even pee on a ten-year-old bottle.
Get it from anywhere, you bastard. Whether it's broken or sold.
I don't know that.
What were we talking about?
That you will get it done in a month or two.
Madam, I never forget anything.
Eight to ten months.
That's the minimum.
Are you thinking what I am thinking?
Exactly. Who has lunch at 05:00 p.m.?
Only a ten-year-old is available.
You won't find a 21-year-old anywhere in the market.
The one who knows the taste of a 21-year-old bottle
won't like any other taste.
Sir, your choice is amazing.
Not mine.
Sweety's.
Your wife also indulges in such penchants!
I mean…
Not my wife.
Sweety.
My secretary.
I will get it done in two months.
-Thank you, Mr. Dubey. -Thank you.
-Thank you very much, sir. -You are the best.
This has the recipe in it.
Two ingredients are missing from the recipe.
G and K.
It could be anything from gulab jal to kaju.
This is your first assignment.
I know I last tasted this many years back,
but I remember the feeling like yesterday.
The whole scene will change
Gondogol's USP was
it's creamy texture.
The whole scene will change
Tomorrow a new day will rise
The dream is crystal clear in both my eyes And it's… colorful, so colorful
I remember at first it smelled tangy.
But somehow fruity flavors hit your palate as you sip it.
The dream is crystal clear in both my eyes And it's… colorful, so colorful
A new path begins beneath my feet A new sun shines, with brand-new heat
With hope in my chest, I carry it all…
Sweet, so sweet
On Christmas night, it's Park Street heat
My pajamas still got that elastic beat
I rap super fast, right on the click
Like the last ride Of bus 3C/1 real quick
Given a chance, I roll up my sleeves
And throw hands like it's a brawl With ten to twelve peeps!
I'm an electrical engineer So you know why
I short circuit when thoughts collide!
A tightfisted Bengali soul
Eyes flare up if you even ask for toll
Fare's 13 bucks, I'll pay only ten… nada!
Sorry, bro, I don't carry change, no
Bedtime tales like grandma's story
Playing marbles With people's emotions… gory
We Bengalis bagged six Nobel prizes, yo!
And when we say cricket It still means Ganguly!
Still sweet… so sweet
We got stuck.
-He's my guy. -One second.
Wait. It's Bobby's call.
Yes, Bobby. Tell me.
Shikha, listen to me.
I am unable to understand anything.
Give me a hint.
Was there any particular item that was used only in your house?
There are over a million items that start with
G and K, Hindi and English words included.
What do I look for?
Tell me about the artist whose painting's paint I am looking for.
Then I might get some vision.
Cooking.
Dad loved cooking.
He used to always cook some authentic Bengali dish every Sunday.
Bengali food.
Should I book a ticket for Kolkata?
There is only one place in Delhi. CR Park. Go check it out.
Okay. I will call you back. Bye.
CR Park.
Still sweet… so sweet
Wildfire, wildfire
My flow's a burning flame Lit like a torch
The country's gone Quite characterless
Guess I never read Sarat Chandra, that's why!
The whole scene will change Tomorrow a new day will rise
The dream is crystal clear in both my eyes
And it's… colorful, so colorful
A new path begins beneath my feet A new sun shines, with brand-new heat
With hope in my chest, I carry it all…
Sweet, so sweet
The whole scene will change Tomorrow a new day will rise
The dream is crystal clear in both my eyes
Don't let us down, Bobby.
A new path begins beneath my feet A new sun shines, with brand-new heat
Not nice.
Still sweet… so sweet
-Ready? -Yes, ma'am.
Gunnu, right?
-Harman. -Yep.
Hello, sir. Would like to place an order for barley.
-How much? -500.
500 sacks?
Are you making beer or bread?
We want to build a long-term relationship.
And we--
-Girl, I keep rolling through just for you -He hung up.
While boys throw fists like It's something new
My ride keeps cruising down your lane
You stand on the terrace And drive me insane
You talk with your gaze No words, no sound
Harman sir.
Yes, yes. Harman speaking.
Hello, how are you?
We're looking for a contract brewery
to order ten kegs.
Our brewery is state-of-the-art.
But not for you, madam.
Your order is too small.
That's only for now, sir.
We'll be taking huge orders later.
-We cannot accept such a small order. -You are the talk of the town too
You are famous, like the moon
The beer we're making is completely unique.
So we want to experiment first.
We'll take small batches first
and then place a major order.
Now women will teach us how to do business?
You can ask anyone in the market.
The order's not even enough to moisten NCR's tongue.
Sir, we will make that happen. Just give us a chance.
That's not how you do business.
You see, you need to spend money if you want to earn money.
We don't have it, sir. What do we do?
What I say is simple and best
Listen, you stay quiet But I hear the rest
Now tell me, who's that staring At you like a test?
Mr. Darshan, tell me.
What is the problem?
You are talking about buying flowers, when your budget is of a pot.
Sir, we want to establish a long-term relationship.
You are talking about a honeymoon before marriage.
Your maximum order is way below my minimum order.
Your boss will understand that.
But how do I explain it to you, madam?
Anyway, it's alright. Give me some time to think.
I'll call you tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.
Fine, let's do that.
Girl, I keep rolling through Just for you
While boys throw fists like It's something new
My ride keeps cruising down your lane
You stand on the terrace And drive me insane
You talk with your gaze No words, no sound
But why not come down? Let's talk on the ground
Tell me what's in your heart
Let's settle this now, once and for all
Bobby, this better be good.
What is it?
Finally, I found your G and K.
K was for Kanakchur rice.
KANAKCHUR 12/-
This is what gives it its nutty flavor and creamy texture.
G was for the king of limes, Gondhoraj Lebu.
Your dad's and this recipe's real hero.
How about a taste test?
Yes. Yes.
Alright.
Lovely!
This looks good.
-Thank you, Shikha. -Piss off!
-This is my house. -Shikha!
Your dad's recipe has made me really happy.
How did he think of Gondhoraj Lebu…
-I don't know… -Yeah!
why I couldn't remember this!
Do something. This party is getting out of hand!
We should wrap up quickly.
I know. I know. We have a call tomorrow morning.
-Don't forget. -Yes.
-At 09:00 a.m. with the contract brewer. -Yes.
Sorry.
Baby.
I know I don't know how to cook.
Okay.
But this is my first dish for you.
Very nice presentation.
This is what I've been trying to cook for 15 years.
Just like my dad.
What do you think?
Amazing.
-Bobby… -Did you like it?
-It's out of this world! -In the day and at night
It's growing in every conversation
Money's coming in lakhs
In sorrow or in love
Someone drinks in peace
Money is pouring daily
Money's coming in lakhs
We live for today Who knows about tomorrow?
Worrying about The world… that's old news
Old traditions must evolve
Youth dances in intoxicating drinks
We come, we come, we come
The wave will change today As we come
There will be an uproar As we come
We come, we come, we come
These talks aren't light Nor are the worries of tomorrow
Her aura feels like a blank check Limitless and rare
The girls want me too Showing off their charm
They keep tracking me
She stole eyes and sneakily stares at me
Wants to come close to me
Lowering her lashes, she spills onto me
Like an overflowing glass
I want to sip--
Oh, shit. Darshan's call.
Why do you call me, lover…
Hello.
Mr. Darshan.
Who is this?
We spoke just yesterday.
Our maximum order
was lower than your minimum order. Remember?
Yes.
But wasn't that a lady?
Well, we gents can have a conversation now. Okay?
No, it's not what you think…
I just have a sore…
No, you listen to me.
You see…
Those ladies didn't understand.
We can't accept orders lower than 5000 bottles, sir.
Listen, mister.
We don't have the funds or the capacity.
And how does it matter to you?
You already have a setup in place.
So? You just have to make it.
So do your job.
We are not telling you to do it for free.
So, you finally began to understand the passion for beer making.
Look,
when we work together,
we'll grow together.
Sir, since you explained everything so nicely,
I understood everything.
Look, sir, you don't get it.
Those ladies…
-That lady employee was-- -No, no…
Well, their intentions are good.
Take my wife, for instance.
She runs her own beauty parlor.
I support working women.
But ladies don't fit in our line of business, sir.
Right?
Absolutely.
So we gents can discuss everything henceforth.
There won't be any problem then.
Well, sir, we are in this for the long haul.
So consider it a yes from me.
Happy to do business with you, sir.
You haven't told me your name.
Hello.
Shikha. 't told me your name.
