Mom would never allow it.
We celebrate new year in jail every year.
Then how about
you spend new year watching 'Rangarang' on Doordarshan like you do every year
and then get bored before midnight and fall asleep.
Isn't that what happens?
It is.
Do you know that
if your year starts off bad then your whole year is jinxed?
God...
Come on Sonal,
you know how Kiran Bedi is.
We have to be home every evening by 7 pm no matter what.
Then make up an excuse.
An excuse?
There is a good reason why I call Kiran Bedi our jailer.
She can smell a lie before you open your mouth.
Okay, I understand.
I will meet Dhruv alone at Sahani uncle's party.
Dhruv is coming?
Yeah!
Then...
why didn't you tell me earlier! You idiot!
Both of you have even roll numbers.
You're both right-handed.
You're both from the same planet.
Same to same!
Made for each other!
I know right?
But then why did he move to Kota to prepare for IIT?
Yeah...
Look...
I could somehow convince Kiran Bedi.
But Dhruv didn't even invite me to the party.
-No, no, no. - Yes, yes, yes.
-No! -Yes!
I will not call him!
Ritika, if you don't meet him today
then your story will reach the end.
Don't say that.
If he goes back to Kota then he won't return for a whole year.
Phone?
Are you a kidnapper asking for ransom?
-Remove this! -Sonal...
H... Hello?
Hello?
What happened?
He said "Hello."
And?
And then he said it again.
Then?
Then he cut the call.
Ritika why didn't you ask him about the party?
Hold this.
I will call him.
What if he gets suspicious?
Why would he be suspicious?
He is my childhood friend.
Move your hand.
Hello? Dhruv?
This is Sonal speaking.
My mom won't let me come to the party alone.
So can I bring Ritika with me?
I see...
Okay.
-What happened? -He...
What did he say?
He refused, right?
That is why I told you not to call him!
But you never listen!
Why did you call--
He said yes!
He said yes?
He said yes.
Now hurry up and get permission from Kiran Bedi
and get ready to leave.
-He said yes! -Ouch. Ouch.
Sonal! Party, party, party...
You're not attending any parties.
Oh come on mom.
Can you say yes to something for once?
What will you do at the party?
Giggle with your friends.
Eat unhealthy food.
And then you will fall ill.
There is no need.
Then why don't you pack a tiffin for me?
Please mom, I really want to go to this party. Please.
What is this party nonsense?
The new year happens every year, doesn't it?
What is so special about this year?
Neerja, let her go.
Remember how she scored so well in Maths this year.
And she even took care of everyone when we fell ill.
Please mom.
But there is a party at home too.
Dad will buy some chicken.
And we will light a bonfire and eat peanuts.
And watch Doordarshan?
-Yes. -No!
Okay fine.
I will even make some rasgullas for you, okay?
Mom, you're supposed to cut cake on New Year's Eve!
Not rasgullas!
Now this girl has a problem with rasgullas!
I just don't understand her.
Exactly. You don't understand me at all.
What did you say?
Mom, I just don't want to talk to you.
You're a teacher at school and a principal at home.
This is a house!
Not your school!
Ritika that's enough...
Don't talk to me.
You can talk to your dad when he comes home.
Stop smiling.
He still hasn't said yes.
Because she is the one in charge of always saying no.
Sometimes even before I say a word--
-Mom? -No.
No!
No.
No!
Rishi is going with you right?
Yes! Of course he will come.
-Then go ahead. -Thank you dad.
Wait a minute.
Did you ask your mom?
Dad, you just said yes.
I said yes? That's ridiculous...
Dad you just said yes!
Please dad! Let me go! Please--
Okay fine, you can go. But you have to take Rishi too.
Okay fine. Thank you.
Here. Have something sweet.
Chewy bubblegum.
Bael powder.
Sweet cigarettes.
Trump cards.
I need 10 comics.
That's it.
Would you like 10 kicks?
Five rupees.
Five kicks?
Two rupees.
Two kicks?
One rupee!
Don't come. Why would I care?
They will have unlimited cold drinks there.
And even a coffee machine.
And they will also be serving Chow mein.
It's fine. I will just go alone.
Fine.
I will come for free, just for you.
Hi Dhruv.
How are you?
When did you get back?
That's not good enough Ritika!
My hair...
Happy New Year.
How is Kota?
Oh, nice.
My clothes...
Mom!
Why is he laughing?
Tail! Tail!
Yes, that's what I said. Why is he laughing?
You have a tail stuck to you!
What?
I stuck a chewing gum to paper and left it on the chair.
Dabloo taught me.
I will prank people at the party.
I see.
And you thought your dad was the perfect victim for this prank.
-Should I tickle you now? -Grandma! Help!
I told you, you won't be getting any new clothes.
We made new clothes for you on Diwali.
And even on your birthday.
Now you will only get new clothes at your aunt's wedding.
Come on mom!
Did you know that the fabric jeans are made of is so tough
it lasts for at least eight years.
You don't even need to wash it regularly!
Mom?
Grandma? Look.
Don't you think it's too tight?
I mean... it's made of very strong material. It won't tear.
It will last 10 years! I am sure of it.
I heard you.
I heard it all.
I understand.
Did you hear what I said?
No.
You're going to the party right? That's enough.
Here is your tea.
It's not going to happen child.
Dad...
I thought you didn't like this song, sis.
From now on, this song will play over and over again.
From this day onward this is the best song in the world Rishi.
Let go of me, sis. What are you doing?
So who else is coming to the party?
Swati, Dhruv, Dabloo...
Ritika...
Don't eat anything too cold.
Should we leave?
-Okay mom, bye. Let's go. -Let's go.
Let's go.
Wait for me dad!
Dad!
Let's go.
What time should I pick you up?
What?
What time?
-See you later dad. Come on. -Let's go.
Should I come back at 9?
Yeah, you can take your time.
Those two left you behind.
Wait up sis!
Hey Sonal, do you see Dhruv anywhere?
Dhruv.
Dhruv? Who is that?
Rishi, why don't you go play?
Look there is a coffee machine there.
I won't go alone.
Listen to me Rishi...
Go eat some Chow mein.
I won't go alone.
Come with me!
Just go Rishi...
Look! Dabloo is here too!
Hi Ritika.
Dabloo, who should we put a tail on today?
There are so many people here.
Tell me, who should we prank first?
You're the best. You decide.
Should we eat some Chow mein first?
Yes, go and eat some Chow mein. Go.
-Let's go Ritika. -No, no...
Come on.
Hey listen! Should I get some coffee for us?
You're not going anywhere. Just shut up and keep walking.
H... Hello Dhruv.
Oh.
Hello... Ritika.
Just say something.
You can never shut up otherwise.
How is Kota?
It's good.
How are your IIT preparations going?
They're going well...
-IIT is very tough. -Yes it is.
All I do is study day and night...
I am sure you miss your friends, right?
Yes... friends...
Give me your address.
Sorry. Why?
Why?
You miss your friends, right?
So I will write you a letter.
I need to study.
My dad says that...
"There are five characteristics an ideal student should have.
Efforts of a crow, Concentration of a crane,
Alertness of a dog even when sleeping,
Sacrifice junk food and thoughts and leave your comfort zone.
The only way to pass IIT is by following all five."
I see...
But if I commit the sin of writing letters to girls
then how will I clear IIT?
I... think my dad is calling me. See you later.
Sis, did you try this?
Let's go Rishi.
Already? Why?
I said, let's go.
Let's go.
Hey.
Why are you guys back so early?
What happened?
Why did you come back on your own?
I was enjoying pranking people at the party
and then sis showed up and said mom is waiting for us.
Let's go.
I will just go change my clothes...
Rishi, go check on dad and the others.
What's wrong?
Did you go to the party to meet a boy?
What?
No, I didn't.
I told you didn't I?
Kiran Bedi can smell a lie before you even open your mouth.
Did she find out?
Yeah...
What will she do now?
Now...
I will get the third degree.
You mean the slippers?
The broom.
I will call you back later.
Mom, you can hit me if you want
but please don't ask me any questions.
I don't have any questions.
I don't want to know what happened.
Just stop crying.
That's enough.
The new year is about to begin.
If you cry now, then you will be crying the whole year.
Think about it.
Wipe your tears.
You looked so pretty.
Why do you want to cry and ruin your face?
Mom?
Am I a bad person?
Who said that?
You are my darling little girl.
The best.
Then why didn't he give me his address?
Honestly mom,
all I wanted was to write letters to him.
So what if he didn't?
So what?
Hey...
Why does him rejecting you matter?
Why does anyone rejecting you matter?
Whether you are a good or a bad person,
only you can decide that.
And no one else.
But mom...
we were totally made for each other.
Just like Sunday and 'Chandrakanta'.
Like peanuts and the winter?
Look.
Do you know what made for each other really is?
Those who like us
exactly the way we are.
Without any changes.
That is the real made for each other.
Just like...
New year and cake?
Cake?
Who eats rasgullas for new year?
You made cake?
Yes, of course.
I found the recipe in a magazine.
And I made it in the cooker.
Do you want some?
Come. Let's go outside.
Come on.
Stop crying now. Wipe your tears.
And tell me if you like the cake. Everyone is waiting.
We will eat it with everyone.
Come.
'Rangarang' is about to start. Take a seat.
-This will be fun. -Yeah.
Who will be presenting this time?
Madhuri Dixit will be the male presenter...
Uh, no, I am sorry.
I mean...
Madhuri Dixit and Pallavi Joshi will be the female presenters.
And for the men
Shahrukh Khan, Dara Singh and Shammi Kapoor.
Shahrukh Khan is in this?
Ten, nine...
eight, seven,
six, five,
four, three,
two, one!
Happy New Year!
Just give us your blessings.
That night I had the party I was dreading.
But it was not boring.
It was a lot of fun.
And that day I found out
Kiran Bedi is like this cake.
Hard on the outside
but soft on the inside.
Kiran Bedi might be a jailer
but she also understands me.
