What are you doing?
Here, taste this.
What have you made?
What do you mean?
Pinniyan
Someone will die if they eat this..
What's all this? trying to be a scientist in my kitchen
you know I hate a messy kitchen
Stop. Don't touch my Pinniyans.
Name this poison something else,
these aren't pinniyans
Tanie. Please taste this.
- Do these seems like Pinniyans to you? - Tell me one thing.
Did you call aunty after Sumer and I broke up?
Yes. But that was long ago.
And what did you say?
Just that Sumer hurt my daughter's feelings.
Was that all? Didn't you yell? Didn't insult?
Broke off the friendship.
Okay that's fine.
After that
you disclosed about their open marriage to your kitty party gang,
like it is a piece of gossip.
I told you this in confidence.
Yeah but tanie, what sumer did with you was correct?
who are you to judge other people's punishments?
Parents always do things to protect their kids.
I need protection from you.
You can't see that.
What I should eat, what I should wear, what I should do?
You even controlled the strings of my love life.
What are you saying?
I am your project.
Taught me Mandarin, French and poetry.
But didn't teach me the basics.
Tanie it's okay to fail.
It's okay to stand up for yourself.
It's okay to take your time if you haven't written your book.
You didn't teach me this.
- Tanie. - Rather what did you do?
Made me fake a relationship for PR reasons.
No. And then forcefully made me write a book,
which stole all my confidence.
I don't even have an iato of confidence in me today
You know I don't have any dreams or aspirations.
Tanie.
I don't even have an iato of confidence in me today
You want me to run the rat race.
I quit the race.
Tanie. Why are you crying?
Tanie.
They re so engrossed reading it
as if they're going to pass a bill in the parliament.
I can't even seem to apologise to Sumer
I can't find him alone at all.
Right.
- Did everyone read it? - Yes.
What do you think?
To be honest. It doesn't work.
Screen play is shaky, no graph in the characters,
and the story isn't making any sense.
I also feel the same, Tanie. It is not working.
But I have followed your instructions and feedback to the T.
We had discussed the protagonist,
but it is missing in the script.
The draft was written after the discussion.
I haven't written it on my own.
That's okay, but the protagonist is throwing tantrums.
Every time she wants to call somebody out.
Why is she always in a victim mode?
Sumer sir had said that too.
Had given many examples too.
If it so clears to you'll, then why don't you write it?
- What? - Just a moment.
Your writing a screen play for the first time.
Its your first project. If someone is giving you a feedback.
Learn to receive the feedback, Tanie.
Sumeir Singh Dhillon, you asked me to add a scene, and I have done it.
Tanie please. It's our job to give feedback, and your job to accept it.
I completely understand that,
but random disconnected thoughts are not called feedbacks.
You want to change everything I write.
I don't get it whether you are confused or me?
Just a minute, this is feedback not mathematics,
that calculations will be perfect.
If someone is giving a feedback, use your creativity and write.
That's what called a writer.
Are you going to be teaching me my job over here?
Tanie, again.
Its your first project. If someone is giving you a feedback.
there are multiple drafts, you should be aware of it.
I don't have a problem of rewriting it.
Problem is that, I don't know what exactly you want.
And if my writing is so pathetic, reject the episode.
In fact, get it written from someone else.
- Tanie. - No.
Before you guys can insult my writing any more,
I want to inform that I am leaving.
I am quitting this job. Have a great day Sumer.
Now, what do we do?
I can't work with somebody who can't take feedback.
It's fine.
There are better writers, we will find someone.
Manali, just send me a fresh list of writers.
And Sumer if you have any better writer from your personal list.
Please contact them,
and ask for sample work from them.
Since when did you start liking pinniyans?
You have made such delicious Pinnia.
Could have asked with a smile?
I don't feel like smiling.
I don't like it without Tanie.
So, tell me, for whom are these?
Friend from India. For a friend.
Which friend?
This is where the trouble starts from.
Who, when, how? Relax. Stop it.
Did you speak to Tanie?
No.
I did call Alisha.
Just a minute.
Bittu, I have made chicken curry.
Tanie's favorite.
Please drop it at Alisha's place.
Please.
Happy, I know this over protectiveness is your love
After parents left, you gave immense love to all,
and this is the only way you know.
I know.
You are not wrong Happy
Just that your ways are wrong.
Tanie is very upset.
I made a really big mistake, didn't I ?
I just want Tanie to return home, that's all.
Just want her to remain happy in life.
Look
You are my first friend,
so have the first bite.
- I don't want. - Please eat.
Tanie will be back, everything will get sorted.
Just give her some time.
Have it.
Thank you.
It's very tasty.
Your hair is tasty too.
Yes Rajiv.
Hi sister, heard your writer quit.
Rajiv, web is my division. I'll manage it.
I have worked very hard for this company.
And I can't let anyone destroy it for me,
not even papa's darling daughter.
I've seen your hard work
for the past couple of years,
Meraki hasn't managed to produce a single hit film
When I have a say in things, it is going to look very different.
Not when, if.
If this continues, I find your chances very low.
Rajiv, I just have a single chance,
and only one project.
If I am unable to do, then I will stay away from your company and you,
but until then leave me alone.
Yes, Manali. I went through the writer's profile.
Call Mishka, Durjoy and Sumrit for the interviews
Okay, yes.
Call writers for interviews?
Why sir? What happened?
Tanie quit.
Tanie quit? My trick worked, Sumo.
I knew it.
The books sent at her office. I had sent.
Good riddance. Let's celebrate.
Feel like I should be slapping you
Did I ask you for help?
- Why are you getting angry? - Why am I angry!
Tanie quit on her own.
The universe is on our side.
Don't worry about writers.
There are abundantly found in South Hall.
From South Hall.
Your troubles are endless, should keep your hands tied.
Sumo, don't tie my hands.
Why?
Because if you do, how will I hug you?
Stay away, don't touch me.
She has already distanced away.
What was the name of the novel?
Too Close to Home.
I am looking for it but can't find it.
What?
Tomorrow. No, it's too difficult.
Maybe after a weekend.
Yeah
Monday.
I have to call you back,
yeah yeah..
Tanie, why are you not in office?
I am not telling you.
You will scold me.
No, I won't. Tell me.
I know you will.
No, I won't. Tell me.
I quit my job.
- What? - See. See.
You quit? Why?
That Sumer is so irritating.
He has turned everyone against me.
Even Gautam.
Gautam wanted to take me out for coffee.
Why do you give so much importance to Sumer?
I am working with him too, and he isn't so bad.
Since you have turned actor, you are Team Sumer.
15 pages. I had written half an episode.
And the four of them didn't even like a single page..
Not one thing.
I wrote it from my heart.
- He really insulted me. - I am sure.
I don't want to write.
Can I tell you something?
You quit for such a petty reason?
Why are you hitting?
I'm hitting you so that...
all the evil spirits leave from you.
Finally, you wrote a good story, then fought.
You of all should know, that creative differences keep happening.
What is this?
I don't want to talk to you.
Hey.
Karan's novel is with you.
Is this Karan's novel?
Was wondering how you had such a good novel at home?
What's in the box?
Karan's stuff. I have to return it. Just don't get the time.
Are you and Karan breaking up for good?
Yes. It was just a fling.
And anyways, I should focus on my career now, right?
It's a big opportunity.
Alisha. You take such good care of me.
Let me give it to him on your behalf.
You don't take the trouble.
I won't take the trouble. Thank you so much.
You are most welcome.
My mood is already off.
Maybe seeing a beautiful scenery might change my mood..
So smart you are.
Okay do you want to eat this? Or something better.
Something better.
My uncle has sent me chicken. Will you eat?
Yes. Please.
Let's go.
Where were you?
I've been ringing the bell for so long
In the shower. Come inside.
Come. Come.
Isn't he unnecessarily hot?
How can a person feel attraction and sadness together?
- Tanie. - Yes.
What's in the box?
Your stuff.
Alisha has sent it.
- Thank you. - How is she?
Alisha.
She is absolutely fine.
In fact, very busy now a days.
I hope you are fine.
Absolutely.
And she has something really big coming up,
so she shouuld focus on it, right?
You both are so boring.
No fights, no crying, nothing.
Coffee.
Can I have a drink?
Actually, I can have the entire bottle.
Will this do?
Give me water.
Let me guess.
Is the director still harassing you?
Yes.
Tell me more.
You live a boring mature life, but want gossip from my life.
Fine, I'll tell you.
I quit. In front of everyone.
it's okay, right?
How would I know? It's your life.
I don't want a therapy session, but asking your opinion.
According to me everyone has different views.
Like me, if I had to play a character.
Then I would never let it go.
But you maybe you are okay to let go of things.
But I just gave an idea.
Then can make any story.
Can be better too.
But the story which you want to share with the audience,
only you can do that, right.
You are weirdly intelligent like my protagonist.
- You have written it. - That's true.
Anyways, I am sure they will find a good, decent writer.
Director has many options.
no no .. [laughs]
Director Sumer and writer Myra.
two of the most boring people in the world
Why?
They are constantly talking about cinema.
Nothing else.
They want to make a film together.
She is his writer.
They can talk on the sets. Same at home and at party too.
Wait.
Hey Mr. Cinema.
Look here too.
So did you tell her about your disaster at the shoot?
What disaster have you done now?
- I haven't done anything? - Nothing?
He couldn't lip sync his own songs.
Myra saved him.
Myra is too much of a perfectionist.
Let's be honest, Titu.
You are a good man. But rapper Titu is a punishment.
She is jealous of me.
Right, so tell me honestly.
did you write it when you were drunk ?
Anyone can rap like this.
Fine, then do it.
- Ohh. - Come on.
- Sure, I can do it. - Do it.
Chris, beat.
- Come on, Chris. - Go Chris.
Come on.
'I want to rap like Titu'.
'He doesn't know music, but he is a good chap'.
'The notes are missing from the song'.
'Remove the delusion from the eyes.
'You have a lot of money so the video will get made'
'And the check will get deducted from Dad's account'
Art has committed suicide
'Dhinchak Pooja is everyone's delight'.
'Earlier there was music but now it's just noise'.
'Money speaks, beat the thief'.
Hey, I'll bash you both.
'It's easy to beat, just play your song'.
'Swear on me, burn your lyrics'.
Fine, you guys can rap well.
Oh, so it's just fine.
Tanie, why are you there?
Come here.
I too want a stronger partner in my team.
How can I help? My tune is off.
Does anyone want a beer?
- I'll have beer. - Yes, sure.
Titu. You are a lovely guy.
Just stop taking our lives with your songs
You guys are always screwing me.
Wasn't the rap good? Accept it.
damn good team ya..
Wasn't it good?
Have some...
Are you going to mix wine and beer?
Okay I am here.
- Are you drinking coffee? - No having tea.
Met two writers for my show and got a head ache.
I have got a profile of a writer from Mumbai.
Will you please check his back ground?
Why writer? Where is Tanie?
Madam quit.
Drama.
Come on Myra. Don't do that.
I don't know much.
But Mr. Sumer, we don't punish people.
We punish our present because of our past.
You have become very philosophical.
Why don't you come here and write my show?
Really, you want me to leave everything and come after you?
I would have come; had we been married.
That can be negotiated
Really? Rubbish.
Okay enjoy your tea.
I'll talk to you later I have to go now.
- Please do my work. - Yes, I'll do it. Bye.
Sangu will you have Pinnia, I mean have dinner with me?
I mean go for dinner with me?
No Bittu that's not how you say it..
Go out for dinner.
Oh.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Bittu. - Hi, hi.
I was just taking a walk so.
- And who is he? - He is Will. That's Bittu.
- Oh hello. Nice to meet you. - Nice.
Is he your relative?
We met on an app.
Yes, app is the in thing now.
Swipe left. Swipe right.
You see, it is important to meet.
How and where. That's not important.
So, I will see you soon.
Shall we?
- Bye. - Have a good evening.
See you soon.
Maybe you are okay to let go of things.
But the story you want to tell the audience, only you can do that. Right?
So. How did you like it?
I think the more important question is.
What's the plan?
- What do you mean? - I mean what's your plan.
Why are you writing after quitting?
I don't know.
I mean I got an inspiration and a protagonist.
So wrote it.
There were a lot of problems in the old draft.
So, you agree? There were problems in the last draft.
Yes.
But now I want to tell the world,
that Tanie Brar can also write screen plays.
The novel that I wrote, wasn't by fluke.
Honestly, I think, the story that you can write, nobody else can.
- Thanks. - Don't waste time. Send the email.
Okay. Let me.
Now what?
I am so stupid.
While I was trying to send the episode, they were trying to fire me.
What are you saying?
Have called me to the office to sign the NOC.
Sumer. Did you like any writer?
I met a few people.
Some genres don't match
and some dates doesn't match with our project duration and some are so.
But two writers are available at our timelines.
So. Is this personal?
No, not at all.
Listen we have a damn good story. Okay.
We need someone who can write a beautiful script,
not someone who takes the brief and writes like a steno.
Okay, my news article is going to be released in three days.
And we will have to announce something on official social media handles.
Now I can surely say that, we are searching for a lead actor.
But a writer. How can that be?
Okay, let me talk to Manali.
Let me meet the remaining writers. Okay.
And if I don't find, then maybe someone from India.
Lavanya. Tanie is in your cabin.
Did you read?
You know what, I don't want the drama.
I don't understand you Tanie.
I am sorry about the outburst the other day.
Apologies will not help.
Lavanya but.
Do you always have to quit to write better?
Did you read my draft?
Tanie, you have talent,
but drama too.
Find a balance or else nobody will hire you after such tantrums.
Anyways. I will have the legal team get in touch with you,
to discuss the commercials and credits with you.
We might use the episode written by you.
- Thank you for the opportunity. - You are welcome.
I read the sample draft of the last two writers.
Nothing great.
She has written well and sent. Tanie has written the episode.
- I read. - But Lavanya hates drama.
I know.
Actually, Lavanya was wondering if we like it.
We can give credits to Tanie for the episodes.
Have you read Harry Potter?
Wand uses the wizard.
But here the wizard has escaped.
Okay in Harry Potters series.
Wand chooses his own magician,
similarly the story decides by whom it will be written.
I know my Harry Potter.
Manali, just. Sorry, excuse me.
Tanie listen. I want to talk to you.
- I don't want to. - Listen. Listen to me.
Just a minute.
- There. - What?
Tanie. Tanie.
I won't eat you up.
Tanie, I want to talk. Listen to me.
I don't want to talk.
- Don't follow me, I'll scream. - Don't behave like a kid.
Can't you just talk?
What is the problem, if you listen to others?
You have a problem which has now solved.
It's all played out exactly like how you wanted it.
I have quit. You enjoy at work.
I never wanted you to quit.
Neither today nor...
But if you can't take feedbacks, then it is your problem.
Sumer you don't give feedbacks.
You taunt.
The problem is in your mind.
- Really. - Yes.
And you should be awarded by Nasa for your smartness.
Tanie, you wrote a bloody good episode.
You wrote very well, I read it.
And.
I want a good writer.
Find one, I am a bad writer.
You'll were discussing that the other day.
Tanie only you can write this story.
The soul of the story will be lifeless if written by someone else.
Tanie you are the chosen one.
The story decides it's writer.
I agree.
But on one condition.
You will forgive mom's words.
One more thing.
- What is left now? - I will not watch movies.
Don't send me these useless film references
And feedbacks should be polite.
I'll leave if you are rude. I am going.
Fine I won't.
What the hell.
What did you say?
I said, I will. This is what I said softly.
Okay.
I should stay back, isn't it?
