Asmara, that's your grandma's friend, right?
What's she doing in Canada?
What did you tell your friends?
What is your grandma's friend doing…
in Canada?
We brought you here…
for your medical treatment.
I see.
And what excuse will you give them next time?
Why did you shut down your computer when I walked in?
I'll make some excuse, Grandma. Please.
I want to know, Asmara.
Tell me.
I'll say my laptop ran out of power.
So you have thought of everything.
I know that…
I don't hold any special place in your life.
But I never imagined,
that for you and your friends…
I'll be nothing but a joke.
At times, I am your grandma's friend,
or I'm in Canada for treatment.
What other lies have you told your friends?
Is your grandpa even alive, or is he dead?
Asmara?
Where could she be?
Why isn't she back yet?
First, you scold her
-and then worry for her. -What choice did I have?
She had it coming.
I thought maybe she came downstairs.
-Where could she go at this late hour? -She will come home soon, dear.
Be patient.
-She's not a kid… -She is a kid!
She stormed out of the house because I yelled at her.
-If anything happens to her-- -She will be fine.
She will be alright.
Here.
And next time you want to yell, fight, or get mad at someone,
I am right here.
Here.
I made this tea with a lot of love.
She'll be back. Don't worry.
Are you okay?
No!
What are you doing here?
Grandpa sent me to look for you.
Is Grandma okay?
How could she be?
Alright, let's go.
Okay.
Sit.
Hold on to something at the back or you'll fall off.
I am very sorry, Grandma.
I am really very sorry.
It's okay, dear.
Thanks to you, I enjoyed some tea made by your grandpa.
Which you swore never to drink again.
Actually, I've set the standard so high,
it's impossible to top that.
Well then, let's go and have some of your high-standard food.
Of course.
This is why he's my darling.
-Shall we? -Grandma,
give me a minute. I'll be right back.
Come back soon. I'm getting dinner ready.
By the way, what's for dinner?
Have you made Bisi Bele Bhaat?
Farzaan.
-What happened? -Thank you.
What for?
For dropping me home.
And for my first-ever bike ride.
It's okay.
Goodnight.
Where is Rukhsana?
She isn't even answering her phone.
Where is she?
Stop!
Where is Rukhsana? Why isn't she answering her phone?
What happened? Is everything alright?
-First, tell me. -She must have gone shopping with Mom.
Maybe she left her phone at home. But what is wrong?
What time does Akhtar Begum sleep?
Now why do you want to know that?
Are you going to answer every question with a question?
Fine.
Normally, Grandma sleeps by 10:30 p. m.
Perfect.
Grandpa and Grandma sleep by 10:00 p. m.
Listen, tell Rukhsana to meet me in my kitchen at 11:00 p. m. tonight.
And use the terrace to get there,
-not the main door, okay? -Fine, I'll tell her.
-Can I ask something now? -Ask.
What is going on?
I want to learn the recipe for Grandma's pudding.
It's going to be a surprise.
Okay.
Your kitchen, 11:00 p. m.
Done.
-Perfect. -I'll send Rukhsana.
Thank you, Farzaan.
Where am I going, Uncle?
Thank you, Farzaan!
Come on, Naina. Fast.
So what are we doing next?
Can do a quick breakie.
But after that, I have to head for my training.
Wow!
You're pretty serious about your training, right?
I have to be.
After all, I have to win the Tennis Federation Championship.
You'll definitely win it.
After all, you are so disciplined.
That I am.
But…
I could actually use some help.
If… the renowned tennis champion of India…
Rohan Kariappa trains me,
then, I will be undefeatable.
Would you ask him to train me? Like one-on-one.
So all this while,
you've been using me to get to my dad?
What?
Naina, no.
Naina, I thought I could speak freely with you,
and share my dreams with you.
But you know what,
just forget that I even asked.
Why don't you ask him yourself?
Because if I asked, he might say no.
But if his little princess asks him,
then it's a done deal.
But, Naina, just forget about it.
I thought we were close, but…
I was clearly wrong.
So…
how close are we?
Close enough that this feels special.
But, Naina, you really hurt me by saying that…
I am using you.
Well, then…
how about a special post for this special friend?
Okay.
Come on.
Yeah.
Got it.
No, I am not looking nice in this one.
How does it matter, Naina?
Oh, my God!
I can't believe you did this!
Guess what?
Daddy never says no to his little princess.
-Really? -Really.
Great! Come on, let's jog again.
The number you're trying to call Is currently not reachable.
Please try again…
-Did you see it? -Yes. Just now.
-What the hell! -Dude, she isn't even picking up my calls.
Same.
What's going on between her and Armaan?
Yeah. And did you read the caption?
Getting sweaty with #MyGirl.
One, who says that?
And two, what does it even mean?
I'm proper pissed, dude.
We told her to stay away from that idiot.
Yeah, this is so not her.
Listen, call me when you get through to her.
Babe, I've been trying for 15 years. It's not happened.
Get through on a call.
On a call, T.
Oh? Okay, sure.
-Wait. Will you be awake? -Yeah.
No!
Always, for the Awesome Threesome.
Bye!
All my friends are such weirdos, dude.
I can't keep bringing you tea so many times.
Grandma will get suspicious.
What is it this time?
I've finished writing the song. Do you want to hear it?
That's what you called me for?
Suhail, I've to meet up with Mom at the market.
-Okay, bye. -Listen…
Just listen to the verse, please.
You've never insisted like this before?
I've never written a song for you either.
This is my song?
No, it's for Grandma.
Of course, it's your song. Now will you listen?
Sorry. I really can't right now.
You can sing it for me on the rooftop tonight.
Mom is waiting for me right now. Can I go?
Okay.
Hey…
Bye.
No, Noons, not cool at all.
Now social media will update us on your relationship status?
T, there is no status to update. Really!
But what about the post?
We have eyes.
What are you hiding, Naina?
I didn't see what he posted.
Plus, I don't even know what caption he's written.
Listen, you were happily hugging him in that picture.
Also, the caption read "Gettin' sweaty with #MyGirl. "
I mean, yuck!
Noons, what is going on?
Listen, get your mind out of the gutter.
I was jogging at Inner Circle,
and he bumped into me.
What could I do if he asked for a picture?
Say no and get out of there.
Also, since when do you jog at Inner Circle?
Or anywhere?
Since a while.
Now stop being so aggro.
Asmara! Take my side, babe.
I'm sorry, but T is kinda right.
He's not good for you. Or us.
You didn't even answer our calls today.
I was with him.
It would seem rude if I took my phone and started chatting.
Oh, wow!
And you had no trouble taking his calls when you were with us.
Good point.
Stop being so shady, guys.
Your face is shady.
Okay. Let's pretend that the third-class comeback didn't happen
and move on.
Now let me tell you what I wanted to tell you.
Is Nandini Auntie upset with me?
No. What?
Why would Mom be upset with you?
Because I spotted her at a coffee shop,
and I said hi,
-but she didn't say hi back. -Coffee shop?
That's strange. She should have been in court.
Yeah, my thoughts exactly.
And she was with some guy, and they seemed a bit cozy.
I don't know.
Oh… I know what this is.
Dad's birthday is coming up.
And Mom is planning this big birthday party for him.
Like a big bash.
And since I'm busy interning at the office,
Mom must be planning this party with Shankar.
Cousin. He's my cousin.
She must be making plans.
Yeah, now that makes complete sense.
And they were just looking at the phone.
So yeah, got it.
There is no way Nandini Auntie would step out on AB Uncle.
They are so marriage goals.
I want it too.
Yeah, yeah, great for you guys.
Listen, I gotta run.
I've to write some lame copy for some lame brand.
Too much work at the office. Catch you later, bye.
And you, stay away from that creep!
Tell him to stay away from me!
Bye, guys. Miss you.
Yeah, yeah, me too.
-Hey, T. -Hi, Mom. Where are you?
I'm at court. What happened?
No actually, where were you this morning?
This morning…
At court!
All okay?
Mom, Naina was saying…
No. Actually, it's nothing.
Catch you later. Bye, Mom.
T--
Hi, Dhruv.
Yeah, hello.
Listen, I need your help.
I need you to do me a favor.
Listen.
I am texting you my address.
Be here by 09:00 a. m. tomorrow.
And my Mom, Nandini.
You have to follow her all day and click pictures.
You have to literally like spy on her
and tell me what she did all day.
Where she's been and who she met.
Where is Rukhsana?
I'm sure Farzaan forgot to tell her.
How do I make pudding now?
You?
What are you doing here?
You want to learn how to make pudding, right?
-Yeah. So? -So, I'm here to teach you.
You know how to make--
You know how to make pudding?
Grandma taught me herself.
Where is Rukhsana?
She must be sleeping.
Fine, then teach me.
Come on.
Time and again
I check my inbox for no reason
I talk in dreams, and with myself I hold a conversation
Are these ties freshly spun
Or echoes of old refrain?
It feels like opening arms
At the onset of the first rain
Am I here? Perhaps over there
Who am I and where?
I have no clue
Everything's intertwined
The city of my heart
Is now open and unconfined
Looking for excuses to give you a call
With a grin in the soft glow of my phone
Sharing my days and nights with you
And keeping everything about you a secret From my friends
Making mixtapes of songs that you adore
And making sure that
I am not keeping unkempt anymore
I have no clue
Everything's intertwined
The city of my heart Is now open and unconfined
The city of my heart
I have no clue Everything's intertwined
Is now open and unconfined
The city of my heart Is now open and unconfined
The city of my heart
I have no clue Everything's intertwined
Is now open and unconfined
The city of my heart Is now open and unconfined
Oh, no, no, no!
Why? God!
I told you not to keep the window open, Asmara.
Anyway, give it to me. Don't be upset. I will get it fixed.
Grandma, this is not some old watch,
that will dry up in a bag of rice.
I know.
But where there is a will, there is a way.
What will I do now?
I was completely dependent on it.
Never depend on machines,
when you have people you can depend on.
And when people are good, everything is good.
Things will come and go.
Now, may I… get your computer fixed?
Miss T?
Forgive me.
What happened? You didn't follow my mom?
I even sent you a picture of my mother.
-Along with the… -No…
I did follow her, that's why I am apologizing.
What do you mean?
I just spotted them together.
What do you mean by "them"?
What is Mom doing in this coochy-coo matinee show with some random dude?
It's so embarrassing.
Oh! That's him! TB!
Tenzing Bhardung.
There is an esteemed school of music in my neighborhood.
He's the principal of the institution.
-If you hear him sing… -Shut up!
What else do you know about him?
-Age? Spouse? Fam? -In his thirties or forties.
-Dhruv! -I mean 38 or 39.
Same as your respected mother.
Please. Nandini is ancient.
Is that true?
-She has great skin for her age… -Shut up, Dhruv.
-No, I was just… -Duck!
Let's go.
Miss T, wait!
Sorry, madam.
Miss T!
I'll be back in two minutes.
Sure. I'll see you.
There!
Dhruv, quickly go to the washroom and get a picture of that TB.
-Go. -What?
Who takes pictures of others in the washroom?
Miss T, don't make me sneak around taking pictures…
Who is asking you, Dhruv?
Just shut up and do what I am asking you to do.
I am sorry.
I am just really stressed right now.
Earlier, I thought my dad was having an affair.
And that's why things are tense at home.
Now, I find out Mom is also having an affair…
And I'm completely alone in the middle of all this.
You are the only one I can discuss this with.
I know, Miss T.
But you are not alone.
I am here for you.
Thanks, Dhruv.
Photo. Washroom.
Go, please.
Oh! Looks like we're still in mourning.
She's so sad about being separated from her beloved laptop,
that the poor thing hasn't eaten since last night.
You haven't eaten either, dear.
That's nothing. I'm on a diet.
One of those crazy diets people do. Fasting for 16 hours…
That one. Intermission.
Intermittent, Grandma.
It's intermittent, dear.
You guys get the gist of it, don't you?
Yes, Grandma. We do.
But why are you lying?
Doesn't suit you at all.
Here… I'll feed you.
Hold on a minute.
Can someone feed me too?
-Please feed your grandpa. -He is having FOMO.
-Yes, FOMO. -Yes! Wait… what is he having?
"Fear Of Missing Out. " Come on, guys.
FOMO.
-Oh, my God! -What?
-Oh, my God! -What happened?
I…
Rukhsana!
I was supposed to have lunch with her.
She must be waiting for me.
I am so sorry. You guys eat, okay?
Afroz! Where is my tea?
Have you gone to Assam to bring the tea?
-The terrace! -Afroz!
We were supposed to meet on the terrace.
She just remembered they were meeting on the terrace?
Today's kids can't remember a thing!
Suhail!
Play that tune on the guitar?
-Which one? -Rukhsana and your tune!
How do you know?
I am not blind.
See! I knew it'd work!
What is going on?
Ruru! Our first order just came in!
-What? Are you serious? -Yes.
Hold on.
But…
we'll need a jacket,
yarn, fabric…
And we'll need money to buy all this.
I don't have the money.
So? You'll give up on your dream just because you don't have the money?
Spoken like a typical Riddley Road girl.
For us, money decides how much we can dream.
But you won't understand.
Cancel the order, please.
You don't get it.
Receiving an order, on a new account, this quickly…
You don't know how insane it is.
I am not canceling it.
I have money. Take it from me.
-We'll buy the jacket, yarn… -No, thanks.
But I can't take your money.
When Dad passed away,
Mom made me and Farzaan promise…
that we'll never borrow money from anyone.
So I definitely can't borrow money from you.
I am sorry.
Ask Brother Farzaan.
Yes! Ask Brother Farzaan…
I mean… ask Farzaan.
But he doesn't know this side of me.
What if he says no?
Leave that to me.
Another thing.
Whatever you need to buy,
make sure you aren't shopping at Tibbri Road.
Otherwise, Akhtar Begum will be the first to know.
And business will shut down before it can take off.
Right. We'll manage that too.
But how?
Do you have an extra kurta?
What?
Asmara, what if my brother says no?
What if he tells Grandma?
The business will shut down before it takes off.
My stomach is churning!
Please, Asmara. We'll get into a lot of trouble! Let's not go!
Two minutes. Calm down.
I said that I'll handle him, right?
-Now just wait here quietly. -Don't go! Please.
Farzaan.
What are you wearing?
All that can wait. First, you listen to me!
Do you know how talented she is?
She's so good at embroidery. I gave her my denim jacket.
She put in such a beautiful patch and so quickly.
We created a social media account and instantly got an order.
Our business plan is ready. Everything is ready.
We just need money.
She's quitting her dream, just because she doesn't have money.
She is your sister!
If you don't support her, who will?
So you have to give her the money, right now!
What if Grandma gets to know? No…!
What do I do? He's coming here! What do I say?
Rukhsana.
This wasn't my idea, Brother! She forced me to come! Please don't tell--
Quiet!
Next time ask yourself.
Okay?
Yes, okay.
I told you!
Look at how they are dancing!
I didn't know big malls like these sell stuff so cheap.
I can't believe it!
You are unbelievable!
And now your designs are going to be the talk of the town!
Hopefully.
But how are we going to send the order across?
Leave that to me. I have the whole plan ready.
You always have a plan…
Oh, no!
What happened?
Asma--
Asmara!
-It's there. -Are you out of your mind?
The shopkeeper's watching us, Asmara.
How much longer, Naina? I have other plans.
Sorry. I just have to pick up some fabric for Mom.
But thank you so much for coming.
I really appreciate it.
Yeah, it's okay.
Madam. This is curtain cloth. You want curtain cloth?
-No, thank you. -No?
Have you lost your mind?
My mind is fine. Why waste time…
I am so sorry.
-Oh, my God! -Sorry.
Let's go. Why are you wasting time, Rukhsana?
Sorry.
What were you doing with the curtains?
Do you guys wear curtains, as well?
No, Ruru.
Forget all that…
We've got such great supplies!
Yeah. I'll do such good business.
Even I'll be an "entreprenar. "
It's an entrepreneur.
What did I say?
Let that be.
-Brother, Tibbri Road. -Come, sit.
Fifty rupees.
-Okay. -He's asking for too much.
It's okay.
-Let's go. -It's too much!
Oh! What do you want?
May I come in?
Yes.
I need your laptop.
It's urgent.
It's dead.
Anything else?
What do you mean?
It got wet in the rain and broke down.
Grandma took it to get it fixed.
No wonder…
No wonder what?
It took so long to get it fixed.
No!
Oh, my God!
You fixed it?!
Yes.
It's working. It's working!
Oh, my God!
Anything else?
What will you do now?
Browse on my laptop.
Let's go sit on the tank?
Sure.
This place is so beautiful.
Such a great spot!
Actually… all of Tibbri Road is quite beautiful.
Maybe.
Listen…
I'm right here.
Thanks for helping Rukhsana.
I didn't do it for you.
I did it for her.
But you're welcome.
And…
thanks for fixing my laptop.
I didn't do it for you.
I did it for Grandma.
But you are welcome.
By the way,
I saw some pictures of your house while backing up your laptop.
You have a very different life.
Different meaning?
Meaning… even though you're from here, you don't belong here.
Almost like Riddley Road will always be your home.
Maybe!
Listen…
I'm right here.
Someday, I will take you to my home.
When?
Some day.
Let's go now.
Now?
Yeah. Why not?
You're right.
Wait. How will we leave?
Leave that to me.
Okay.
Shall we?
Okay.
-Are you okay? -Yes.
-Shall we? -Let's go.
Wait a minute. Why are we walking?
Because we're sneaking out!
I get it now!
Wanna see my world?
Let me show you something.
I can see it.
Not this. Come.
Come on.
Can you believe it? They are dating.
And they think no one knows.
But I know.
Look at them. They look so happy.
How cute!
Oh, man!
Am I here? Perhaps over there
Who am I and where?
I have no clue
Everything's intertwined
The heart and the city
Are free and fresh
What are you doing?
Nothing.
Nothing at all.
I was just…
Nothing.
Listen.
Come here.
What happened?
There's a guy…
Nikhil.
