This meets all the criteria of a small company.
Roma Joshi Trading Limited. Okay?
Then why can't they enjoy the benefits of a small company?
This should be the answer to this question.
The answer is in the question.
The name of the company is Roma Joshi Trading Limited.
That means the company is public.
A public limited company cannot enjoy the benefits of a small company.
Oh, no. Shit. I was afraid of making a basic mistake like this one.
What else, man? You have forgotten us in the last two months.
No, man, nothing like that. There's so much to study.
I'm yet to finish the syllabus.
Let it be. I thought of you as a one-person company.
But you have an Annual General meeting going with Archie all night.
Where is she, by the way? She isn't seen around a lot.
-I don't know. -We have our exam in five minutes.
Did you call her?
Six times.
She didn't answer her phone.
I don't think she will come.
What happened to her was sad.
But nothing is surprising.
Do you remember the crowd here during the first paper?
And look at it now.
Raavan has 100 vices, Archie.
But he never laughed at someone scared of the single-entry system.
I'm not laughing.
Let's go. We'll be late.
Where did all of you go leaving the board job halfway?
Complete this first.
I sent you the GST number.
Please write that here. Don't mix up the order.
Wrap this up by 2 pm. You have been at this since yesterday.
Mr Goyal, I have purchased items for Rs. 10,000.
But you ruined my mood with the bill.
Give me a discount at the least, sir.
Mr Varma, I have done the best I could.
Please see if you can give me a further discount.
I can't go any further.
This is the best I can do.
Uncle Varma, why don't you claim GST?
All of these items are for a religious ceremony.
There's no GST for this.
That's what you have missed.
Look at this.
The lamp wicks, sandalwood powder, and other things.
These items have a GST exemption.
But the rest of the items like bindi, kumkum, and sindoor,
and rangoli powder.
These have 18% GST on them.
Because it comes under makeup and beauty preparations and skin care.
Since your invoice is in the name of your business, you can claim GST.
In the end, you will pay... Give me your bill.
You will pay this much in the end.
Mr Goyal, you have taught your son well.
Some things are learned through education, uncle.
Pack this.
You can pay there.
-Is all well at home? -Yes, everything is great.
What is your son doing?
My son is studying right now.
'Brother, are you free? I wanted to understand a few things in law.'
What is your sacrifice?
One meal of your day?
Your sleep?
Woman, what sacrifice are you making?
Expensive saris? Or new jewellery?
This isn't a sacrifice but your duty towards society.
And stop crying.
I'm not going to go to Bittu's wedding in Nainital.
Cut!
Take a break.
Siraj sir,
can I write the next play?
I have an idea for a satirical comedy.
The chess players. You, me, and the system.
Interesting. Write a draft first.
-Then we'll see. -Okay, sir. Thank you.
Santosh, where is my lemon tea?
Man, you killed the last monologue.
-Thanks, man. -Sure.
You killed my zone and vibe.
In the rehearsal, you were an awful husband.
But today, you were a sweet husband.
-I felt love for you. -Oh, is it?
Well, if you are free, we can rehearse before lunch.
I wish I could. I need to meet a friend.
-I had promised her. -Then call her here.
She hasn't left her PG in a month.
She's a typical Indian woman.
Caught in the trap of a metropolitan fuck boy.
I don't know about a fuck boy but she's definitely caught in a trap.
My friend is giving her CA exams.
She studies notes during the day and gives a mock exam at night.
She has taken eating and sleeping on time so seriously
that she doesn't eat or sleep longer than she should.
Her parents have given her their blessings.
-But they are worried about her. -'Sure?'
Just so they don't stress Archie this time,
-they have blocked themselves. -'Yes, dear. Just block us.'
She has learned to type on the calculator at the speed of light.
I'm telling you. The rate at which Archie is studying...
One second.
Yes, Tejas, I was about to leave. I was talking to a female friend.
Forget your conversation. Archie isn't opening the door. I'm scared.
Get here quickly.
One second, Tejas. I'll be there.
Archie, open the door.
Archie, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that fools pursue CA.
Just before the exam?
Tejas, there's a time for every comment.
-Come to the theatre class. I'll teach you. -Are you taking a workshop here?
-Archie! -Archie, open the...
-It's very tight. You can't open it. -Aunty, that's very tight.
Wow, thank you.
Are you sure you were studying?
Shut up. Parth, why didn't you lock the room?
Hey, I told you not to lock doors.
Rule number 13. Be focused.
Did you hear that?
And why are you not answering your phone since yesterday?
Parth and I have exchanged phones for zero distraction.
Emergency contacts only.
And I put the phone on silent mode and hide it in the drawer.
Archie, pass the law notes.
Before there is another amendment.
-Good one. -See? Comic timing.
Come on. Now, do lines with me.
I only look like I'm from South Bombay. I don't do all of this.
The script lines, Tejas.
I know. I was doing an improv. Come on. Don't teach your father.
Okay, now act like Romeo. I'll be Juliet for a change.
All my share of over-the-top stress
was being taken by Vishal, Tejas, and my parents.
I just wanted to study hard.
And Parth was fully supportive of that.
And to be honest, I never expected that.
And I don't even know what the scene with Parth was.
Sometimes, he would scold me and make me study.
But sometimes, he would be stubborn about studying alone.
I was reminded of another person by watching his dedication.
Who wasn't replying to my calls and messages.
Here you go, sir. Rs. 250.
Oh, uncle, hello.
Neeraj, you changed the way the shop looks.
That's great.
No, uncle, everything is the same.
It's just more visible now.
No, son, you must give credit where it is due.
-Isn't it, brother? -Yes.
Brother was saying he feels lighter ever since you have come.
-Good. -How come you're on this side of town?
I came here for some work so I thought of visiting you.
-You must have come to meet Mr. Rakesh. -Yes.
-Brother, you must retire now. -Yes.
Stay at home.
Spend time with my sister-in-law.
Ever since I met you, you haven't left this shop.
Once he's a little settled, I'll stay at home forever.
Everything will be well.
-Neeraj will also become a family man soon, right? -Yes.
No, son, don't take it as a joke.
It's very important to exit at the right time.
As I told you before, CA is very tough.
But that's all right. All the experience you have gained
in these years will come in handy.
Brother, even if our boy hasn't become a CA,
he has become a half CA at the least.
Handling the shop business won't be a problem. Right?
Satish.
Satish!
-Yes, sir. -I asked you to put a fan here.
Yes, I have told the boy.
I'll get it done right away.
-Send me a glass of water. -Okay.
-Hello? -You finally answered.
I thought you'd ignore me today as well.
Archie?
I was caught up with work at the shop. Tell me.
Neeraj, the CA Inter exams are coming up.
The first paper is Accounts.
I know it's my strength but I still feel like I'm going to a battle.
Say something at least, bhaiya?
All the best.
Just all the best? That's all?
Are you sure you are Neeraj?
You were the one who taught me what it truly means to be a CA.
Won't you tell me your golden words, your experiences and your wisdom?
Archie,
the people who advise,
just remain that, advisors.
They never succeed in life.
Then the whole world gives them advice.
And they just have to quietly listen.
I hope you turn out to be a doer.
Not a talker like me.
All the best.
-Archie? -Yes.
Come, let's practice the company schedule.
Yes.
You always forget to add outstanding expenses.
Look at this. The asset total is Rs. 49,110.
The total for liabilities is 49,110.
The balance sheet is matched.
-How will you pass if you make such rookie mistakes? -Thank you.
Hi, Parth. All okay?
Yes, all okay.
If the single-entry system takes this long,
how will I solve the rest of the paper?
This takes at least 20 minutes.
20 minutes?
It's impossible to solve it in under 30 minutes.
Raavan has 100 vices, Archie.
But he never laughed at someone scared of the single-entry system.
I'm not laughing.
It's just that, for the first time, I'm not stressed and you are.
Do you remember what you told me while solving financial statements?
-Sit up quietly. If you lie down, you will fall asleep. -No.
You said the exam should be in our control and not vice versa.
Everything will be okay. Just chill, bro.
I'm okay. Just don't call me bro.
Come on.
All the best, Parth.
All the best, Archie.
Last 30 minutes.
Here it is.
Here. Have some breakfast.
Listen.
Where is he?
Is he still sleeping? There is a delivery due today.
There's a delivery, so he left early in the morning.
He said the client was new.
So, he wanted to check everything himself before delivering it.
He left two hours ago.
Eat your breakfast.
-How many pieces are these? 12? -Yes.
-You counted them, right? -Yes, I did.
Come on, load them quickly.
And listen.
-Take the invoice and get it signed by them. -Okay.
-Don't forget. Be careful. -Okay, sir.
Okay.
That will be Rs. 20.
-Just Rs. 20? Is that all? -Yes.
-Give me a good rate. -Rates have dropped, ma'am.
How is that possible? Then weigh it again.
Nobody buys newspapers anymore. Look.
Please take these as well.
-Okay. -Neeraj.
It's of no use anymore, mom.
It's a waste of space and a waste of time.
Should I take these as well, ma'am?
She won't answer.
I'm coming from her place.
Some of your notes were left at hers.
Is she okay?
She's not okay at all.
She doesn't even want to talk to anyone.
She may not even appear for the rest of the papers.
What do you mean she won't appear?
Attempt skip?
It's more than that.
She's probably giving up on CA.
-Did you talk to her... -I tried a lot, man.
But she's right too.
What do you mean?
Don't you know Archie?
Imagine that you made a movie.
You thought it would be a super hit.
But it flopped on the first day.
A total flop. What would you do?
It's simple. I'd make another one that people would like.
Exactly.
But Archie won't do that.
She would just stop making movies.
Sometimes, when she's brushing and there's less foam,
she thinks she has mouth cancer.
After what happened in the accounts exam, she has nothing to root for.
She could never be friends with her CA exam.
She never trusted the process.
She doesn't trust herself.
Regardless of how tough the CA exam might be,
the journey is tough for sure.
Hey, at least you should study.
You have an exam in two days as well.
You are beyond all of this, Parth.
You are the strongest in our group with all the great qualities.
You are CA Parth Nyati.
Now, study.
-Best of luck. -Thanks.
-Parth, I'm not in... -The mood. You don't want to talk. That's okay.
All of that, right?
Archie, I just came to say thanks for the notes.
Toppers don't have the habit of sharing, you know?
The day after tomorrow is the law paper. Don't ruin your career for me.
We'll talk after the exams.
Archie, I don't want to mug the alterations of share capital,
section 61 while eating Chinese.
Can we eat first, please?
Listen.
Close the shutter and go home.
You
don't have to come to the shop from tomorrow.
I'm talking to you, right?
I have never spoken to you nicely to date, right?
When you come back from Mumbai,
I thought you would sit with me at the shop.
I will be proud. I will feel good.
I'll tell people my son is running the business.
But now, when I come to work
and I see you,
my pride and joy
seems very small to me.
Look.
You have given this store a different identity.
But at the cost of this,
don't put your happiness
at stake.
You think by locking the shop, I have locked you inside?
I will give you the key to that lock.
I don't know why you are crazy about studying CA.
And I may not get it ever.
But yes.
I do understand
that you tried because I asked you to.
Now, on your word,
I would like to try once.
The next time you come from Mumbai,
this... Where is it?
Do you see this?
You won't be practising signing as CA Neeraj Goyal.
You will become CA Neeraj Goyal.
Because while pursuing CA
and the relationship between a father and a son,
there are no limits
in the number of attempts you can give, son.
No limits.
Do you understand?
They put colour instead of actual Schezwan sauce.
I have a plan.
Tomorrow, we'll meet Sridhar sir and go some place for lunch.
I had to buy some books and I was about to tell you...
I'm quitting coaching.
Are you leaving Sridhar sir?
I'm quitting CA, Parth.
Archie, look, I'm not Sridhar sir to say things and convince you.
But this happens in the first paper.
Yes, of course, it happens.
But I don't want to deal with this level of stress, Parth.
And it's okay.
Why does every CA aspirant have to reach the end goal?
We need to realise that anything done forcefully becomes obstinacy.
It becomes stupidity.
I can be a failure but I can't be stupid, Parth.
Archie, but you were the one who said there are no limits to attempts.
-You were right about it... -There isn't any limit.
But attempts don't matter
until you go blank in the middle of your exam.
You get so stuck on one question that the rest of the exam...
Just wait.
Look at this.
Look at it.
I solved this question ten times after coming back home.
And every time, I got it right.
Do you even know how that feels?
I was dreaming about getting an exemption.
That I won't have to reappear for my exams. I'll get a rank.
Give an attempt again. Cry again.
Feel like a loser again. And then attempt again.
Attempts can be limitless.
But patience, self-respect and hope.
That is limited in a human, Parth.
You can rewrite one thing in the notebook and correct it.
But that page will tear someday.
I'm done, man.
What would you do?
The topper. The studious.
The man with zero mistakes and full focus.
If this happened to Parth Nyati, what would he do?
If you don't become a CA after studying so hard,
what would you do, Parth?
Tell me.
Do you remember the Satyam stocks scam?
Yes. Why?
My dad was one among the million investors there.
He put everything he had in those stocks.
But when the share prices dropped,
everyone in the country went crazy.
People's life savings
was lost overnight.
And before I,
a four-year-old child,
before I could ask my father what happened,
he killed himself.
When I grew up and started understanding things,
I felt worse.
I was angry.
That's when I decided I will become a CA.
We hear about these scams on TV or in the papers
and then forget about it.
Who will make it right?
Who will prevent it?
As a CA, I will do my job well.
So, this doesn't happen again to another Parth.
I came here.
Because I still feel that if he had...
If he had spoken to someone
or if someone had told him
not to give up,
maybe today...
I'm really sorry.
Don't be.
And to answer your question, yes.
If was in your place, I would have felt bad.
And I may not even pass in this attempt.
But I'll try again.
And I'll keep trying.
Archie, because I feel that no matter what the limit
of a person's patience and self-respect is,
their hope is unlimited.
If a page tears because of rewriting on it, how does it matter?
Turn the page and start writing again.
There are many pages in a notebook.
And somehow, somewhere, the writing will be perfect.
The rest is up to you.
Sir, may I come in?
Come in fast.
Every course has two kinds of students.
The ones who know what they want are one kind.
The ones who have set goals.
And are focused.
But can be lonely.
And the other kind are the ones
who may have wavering focus.
Who may fall many times.
But even then
they will stand up again.
And both kinds have one thing in common.
They never give up.
I don't know if I'll become a CA or not.
But the journey to becoming one has taught me one thing.
I am not scared of any exam in my life anymore.
