01x08 - It's all about forgiving your family

Post by bunniefuu »

- It's right hand side.

- Yeah.

Strange choice.

- Oh, hey, sis!

- Oh!

- God bless!

- God bless!

No. Let's all go together.

- God bless!

- God bless!

Kay!

Dude,

I can't wait for Monday. Right?

Dennis is testing the new algos

for the entire customer base!

Now, we'll know if those positive

numbers in the sample tests hold up.

I think they will.

Did he send the demos already?

Yes. You didn't see?

I would have seen them if

they were in my inbox, JC.

Oh, sh*t!

I'm just not used to

forwarding stuff to you, man.

Anyway,

let's check'em out directly on Monday then.

Akhil, uh, you'll have to shut

down your old algos, yeah?

- Yeah.

- And it's urgent, okay?

- Urgent.

- Yeah. Yeah.

Uh, JC,

can you drop me back at the Kechup office?

I'll take my car from there and

go to my sister's art exhibition.

You guys are

welcome to join too.

I'd love to come, man,

but I need to crunch some

numbers for the final LFA with JC.

And, um,

I have three back-to-back meetings, man.

The hustle keeps me going.

Fatty,

how many footfalls have we had so far?

Total twenty.

Six of them were

guys I right-swiped.

I think they must be stuck

in the Bengaluru traffic.

Guys you right-swiped?

I was worried that no

one would show up.

So,

I right-swiped almost everybody on Kechup.

Okay.

Okay. Today,

I'm gonna be zen like the Enso circle.

So, whatever chaos,

whatever f*ck-ups happen,

it's zen in, zen out.

What's this?

No description here.

It's a sculpture by Bhaskar.

I think he forgot to

send a description.

Lemme call him. If someone asks about it,

it'll be embarrassing.

Right.

- That's the first red dot!

- Yeah.

We've made our first sale babe!

How do the North Indians say it?

Rock n Roll!

It was a great idea to hire Kutty Uncle.

- Yes.

The sound of the bell sounds

so lovely early in the morning.

Sweet!

Two!

Oh my God!

Amazing!

Akhil, on second thoughts,

I'll go with you.

I'll come and say hi to Vasu.

- Okay.

- You're cool with that, right?

- Bye, JC.

- See you, man.

Hi, Anvesha.

Sweetheart,

Papa will be home in one hour.

Today,

we can read 'The Cat in the Hat', okay?

Okay, baby. Bye.

What cat has

gotten into your hat?

It's become very

difficult to deal with him.

He's having secret meetings!

I wanna punch him

and break his teeth.

- It's all your fault.

- My fault?

Okay, it's not your fault. But

let me rant. We're old partners.

My stress levels are off

the charts. Look at this. Look.

I'm surviving on Antacids.

So, take a break, bro.

Listen. There's a meditation camp

for families in Ooty this weekend.

Attend it. R&R yourself

over the weekend.

We'll deal with

Monday when it comes.

We'll have the government

approval by Monday.

Then he's here to stay.

I had never thought JC

would start to behave like this.

Go on. Say, 'I told you so.'

That's the look

you have right now.

Go to Ooty with

your cat and hat.

- Relax yourself and then come back.

- Hmm.

Really, man.

See, he's texted again.

Please crack the algos

by tomorrow morning bro

Or else, this BDSM relationship

will be official from Monday.

- I'm on it. I'll go now.

- Okay.

I've got to go and

pick up Rinzing and Ila.

Bye.

The artist is making a

statement against gravity.

Definitely, sir!

But, sir, the jelly is down so…

Anyway, guys,

thanks so much for

coming. It really means a lot.

- Definitely!

- It's okay.

Actually,

ever since I became a feminist,

I've started taking all the

female employees out with me.

It gives them exposure

and promotes equality.

Look,

if I hadn't fired you that day,

could you have

done all this? No.

You should really thank me.

Because great bosses

push their employees.

Sometimes,

even out of the office.

Hold on a minute!

You've not understood

the art in this!

This is a fluid soul

stuck inside a rigid body.

A soul?

It wants to wander,

but the body

The body is confining it.

And the body

Sorry.

I'm Pradeep Bhaiya,

Vasu's cousin.

Vasu,

why don't you tell us what this means?

Yes. Fatty,

tell us what this means.

Uh

What do you think this is?

Ahem.

Anti-gravity

spirituality.

It's a soul fighting a body.

You both are totally correct!

This is a soul,

- that's fighting gravity.

- Yes.

- Hmm.

- Hmm.

Great, guys.

What's up,

champ? You're acting very shy today.

That day,

you wanted to see and show a lot.

Hey, sis.

Hey!

- Oh, you guys made it!

- Of course!

- You look great!

- Kay?

- Kay is coming with Dhruv.

- Okay.

- Hi. I'm Ila, the plus-one.

- Ah!

So, nice to finally meet you.

- Congratulations on this.

- Thanks.

And you've got a nice haircut.

Thanks.

Hey, Pradeep Bhaiya!

Excuse me.

- This is really good.

- Thanks.

Give this to that woman

with the new haircut.

Congratulations, guys!

The jelly is gone.

How much is this one for?

- This one is also for 35,000.

- Okay.

Rs 35,001.

Hmm.

- Hmm.

- Oh, the bell?

Oh, yeah.

You forgot to ring it.

Applause, please.

I'll get your invoices.

Don't you use a chequebook?

It's in my Mercedes.

Which Mercedes?

Red It's a red one.

Congratulations, Vasu.

Thanks, Dhruv.

- Kay?

- Oh, she's on her way.

Okay.

Um, here.

- Pancake bonanza?

- Yes.

I'm sure you've not eaten

anything since morning.

Yeah.

See? I know you so well.

Good luck to you.

- Thank you.

- And to me, for the chat.

Uh

Tell me which one

of these is good.

I'll buy it for our house.

I like them all.

Of course!

So,

shall we talk tonight?

- Yeah

- Um, we can talk tomorrow too.

- So, no stress. Okay?

- Okay.

Continue.

Yes.

- When was this made? It smells so stale.

- I'm so glad you made it.

- It's just absolutely

- I'm so bored.

- Oh my God!

- These olives are so dry.

- You have to change them.

- Sorry, ma'am.

- I will change them.

- Please.

Very boring, but it's okay.

You know,

I don't want my story to

- When did you both get here?

- Ten minutes ago.

Why do you look so stressed?

Isn't it obvious, mom?

I asked you why

you looked stressed.

Whether you're stressed or not,

it doesn't matter.

Vasudha,

you should project confidence.

People pick up on that.

Back straight, smile,

at least,

look like you're winning.

My dear,

why aren't there any vegan options?

Not everyone's devoted

their lives to spirituality, dad.

Oh!

- And who's the pretty lady?

- Oh!

Ila, my girlfriend.

Occasional or serious?

Sorry.

Akhil's girlfriends

change so frequently

- that we just can't keep up.

- Mom!

Occasional, serious

I don't believe in labels,

you know?

Good, bad

Rude, polite

You know?

- So good to see you!

- Good to see you too.

- That's my girlfriend Ila.

- Hi!

Nice to meet you.

Hey.

Hey, kiddo.

You haven't spoken to your

mother for even a minute.

What are you thinking?

I don't know, uncle.

I mean, I just want an internship,

and just want to f*ck off from here.

All these emotions

are meaningless.

My dear Kay,

I'll miss you.

Sangram Seekar Is he famous?

Yes, Mrs Ramaswamy.

Sangram Seekar was

very popular 15 years ago.

And one day,

he just got fed up with the art world

and disappeared quietly.

Now,

her creates art only for himself.

But he's really quite a genius.

But Rs 12 lakhs That's too much,

isn't it?

I think I'll look for

something else.

- Sure.

- Okay.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

We've sold 18.

Dhruv bought two, and Akhil one.

- Oh, that's great!

- I know!

Yeah

Creativity spurs without

the toxic macho masculinity.

- Doesn't it?

- Does it?

It does.

- Good work, guys.

- Thank you.

Cheers!

How's it going?

Um, good. Very good. Very,

very good.

Actually, it could be better,

dude Aunty, I mean.

I'll see you.

Ila, did Golu share with you

his football story from school?

- Golu?

- Golu.

On the football field,

Golu looked like a football himself.

I mean, while running.

And nobody would talk to him.

And this gentleman

wouldn't talk to anyone either.

A perfect relationship.

I encouraged him so much

to wake up in the morning and attend

a spiritual sermon for ten minutes.

But Golu being Golu

'No, no, no.'

'No' was his favourite word.

- Mr Rao, you're too funny.

- Akhil!

Look,

who would let someone who runs

like this hold a football in their hands?

Dad, in football,

one uses ones feet, not hands.

He and his sister

Rebel number one.

We've gotten used to it.

Oh! That's why Akhil

didn't get married!

Although you will now,

right? Ila, make him do it.

You know, boys never listen.

We just need one

more! Just one more!

- Yeah!

- Okay.

- We did it!

- We did it!

- I can't believe this, Fatty!

- Neither can I.

Here's the proof!

But none of Sangram's paintings got sold,

right?

It's okay. The

gallery will be open.

- Someone will surely buy it.

- Yeah.

And I'll have sex tonight!

Definitely!

Actually,

Vasudha is the rebel number one.

Think about it. She

left such a lucrative job

to do this.

And to prove a point that she

can do something with her career.

The fact that she got a

job is a big deal in itself.

It's so worrying for us parents,

you know?

Grandma, did we get a slot for that

video interview with Dilip uncle yet?

We'll have it in

a couple of days.

Now, that's a good child!

She listens.

- Excuse me.

- Oh!

I have collected

samples of more than 100 men

and mixed them with a chemical

compound of sulphur slime

and added a touch

of orange colour to it.

- Hmm.

- Oh!

And I call it 'The

Element of Unity'.

Basically, it's semen.

- Huh?

- What?

- Ugh!

- f*ck!

No!

Anyway Congrats,

Vasu. You're not stressed anymore, right?

- We sold semen, dude!

- I know!

- But we did it!

- Yeah!

The gallery stays!

You get paid.

We always knew

you'd do it. Congrats.

- I'm just so

- Happy?

Yeah!

You should be. It

was a tough target.

- It was.

- Yeah.

- The invoices babe.

- Okay.

Don't worry.

It'll be alright.

Vasu, where have you been?

Come on, it's time for your speech.

Why are you hiding from the celebrations?

Come.

Yeah.

So,

it's one of those climatic moments

that no hero

forgoes in any movie.

The winner's speech.

Vasu, we trust you.

Yay, Vasu!

- All yours.

- Thanks.

Hi, guys. I'm Vasu.

Short for Vasudha.

Thank you, all of you.

Enso's 'The End of an Era'

exhibition has been a success.

Yay!

And now, you all may heave

a sigh of relief and be happy.

You too, mom. Hmm?

You deserve a special congratulations,

mom.

Your prediction turned

out to be 100 percent true.

I'm not capable of making this

exhibition a success on my own.

Sorry, guys. Let me give

you a little bit of a backstory.

She's the goddess of success.

My mother, Mrs Gayatri Rao.

And the biggest

disappointment of her life

Me!

And so, even today,

I was all set to disappoint her,

but she wore her superhero cape,

and through her company Casper,

she bought five expensive

paintings as an act of charity

Hmm?

And saved the day once more!

What the f*ck?

So, f*ck, wait! No targets?

So, Kirit, Som, I'm sorry.

This exhibition

wasn't successful.

And I'm a loser.

But, mom,

I'm not ashamed of being a loser.

And I don't need

you to rescue me.

So, Fatty, please.

Reverse all the

invoices from Casper.

And, mom,

find someone else for your rescue missions.

You know,

after what you did today,

I had only two options.

Either to quietly

accept your charity

or admit that I'm a failure.

And I choose failure.

So, guys, there'll be a

party here today. We'll Party!

But the theme of this party is

losing with self-respect. Hmm?

- What say?

- Yes.

You're a winner, Vasu!

We trust you.

What's with you people?

Huh?

When will you stop

playing these mind games?

So disrespectful!

Oh, come on,

mom! Give me a break!

Vasu!

- It's okay. It's okay.

- I'm okay.

- It's okay.

- I'm okay.

- Yes. I know they've reversed the entries.

- Yeah.

No,

there's nothing I can do about it.

- I'll deal with it later.

- It's just the way life is.

Mom! Mom!

You both do such things,

and then you ask

why we ignore you!

I don't believe it!

It's not okay to say all

this in front of everyone.

When do you both talk to us?

Whether in front of

people or otherwise.

And every time we

share something with you,

you guys just g*ng up

on us and shut us down.

'Silence!'

Akku is right.

Since childhood,

we've been there for each other

and somehow manage

everything between us

That's why we've stopped

telling you all anything!

Have you all even noticed?

Oh, I've noticed.

You've stopped telling us,

but you've started

telling the world about us.

You both should

reflect on your anger.

Really? Like you shared my

football story with everyone, right?

Beta,

I was trying to lighten up the mood.

You had no idea that I jumped off

the school wall and broke my leg?

Because you just

wanted to pretend

that all I needed was to

attend spiritual sermons.

And that it was all an accident.

Well, no. No,

dad. It wasn't an accident.

I told you, 'I'm depressed.'

And as usual, you said,

'It's bullshit! Get over it!'

and dismissed it.

So, why aren't you dealing

with your depression?

Or do we have to do that too?

When we try to help you,

you say, 'I'll deal with it.'

This This is crazy!

You know? You were right.

You are a disappointment,

you guys!

Both of you!

That they are.

Why? Why must we keep hoping

and expecting that one day,

these two will understand us?

It's never going to happen, Vasu. It's never going to happen.

- I know.

- It's okay.

- I know.

- Let's go.

- Let's go.

Whoa!

You know?

It's not about

loving your family.

It's about forgiving them.

And I don't know when the

hell I'm going to forgive mine.

- Hey!

- Sorry.

Bro, you're too cool!

You spoke so freely on

stage! It was amazing!

Yeah!

So, I didn't just make a total fool of

myself and look completely pathetic?

I'm sorry.

You know what?

Want to celebrate?

f*ck, yes! Come on!

Satvik is a f*cking mor

Definitely!

Sure?

Definitely!

Satvik?

Satvik!

- Definitely!

- Definitely!

Yeah.

It happens.

That happens too.

- Don't mess it up!

- Hey!

What the

f*ck! Akku! Akku! Akku,

I can explain!

Akhil!

Akhil,

just speak to her Akhil!

No, Akhil!

You moron! What's

wrong with you?

Akku, hear me out! Akku, please!

Akku, just listen to me!

Akku, please!

f*ck! sh*t!

I know. Yeah.

Morning!

Thanks, bro.

Perfect. I need to go home

and urgently work

on Kechup algos.

Should I drop you?

It's just that I don't think

you should be anywhere near

steering wheels for a while.

I got it.

See you later.

Not worried at all.

Are you still

angry with Gayatri?

Did I overreact?

No. Not at all.

I think what you did

was absolutely fine.

You did the right thing.

Gayatri shouldn't have

done what she did secretly.

I'm completely with you.

- Really?

- Yes.

You are?

Of course.

Why are you so shocked?

After all, I'm your husband.

Vasu, uh,

let's get back together.

Back to our world.

Yes, Dhruv. I've decided

that we should get divorced.

I mean, I hate that word, but

Are you serious?

Tell me you're kidding!

All this started with Mekhla,

right?

Mekhla is not a part of my life

anymore. She's moved back to Delhi.

I'm not in touch with her. Check

my phone. Check my phone.

- I don't even have her number!

- Dhruv. Dhruv!

Mekhla was just the end of it.

I wasn't happy,

and you weren't happy either.

- And then she came along. Okay?

- I was happy.

I was. I was very happy.

I just made one mistake.

And I'm really sorry for that,

but that's all about it.

I don't see it like that.

After we got married,

I locked myself up in a box.

And what were our lives, Dhruv?

It was just a routine!

And given everything

I've discovered with Enso

I couldn't have lived this

life while being married.

You're talking like a teenager.

Let's go to a counsellor.

Let's get counselling. I

think everything will be okay.

Dhruv,

we were together for twenty years.

But that doesn't mean we'll be

together for the next twenty years too.

Come on, Vasu!

You're deciding to

end our marriage!

Dhruv,

it's neither my fault nor yours.

It's just life.

I'm really sorry, Akku.

Akku, please.

Akku, at least, say something!

Just Akhil!

What do you want me to say?

How was yesterday's experience?

I said I'd be nice to her. Akku!

I really am sorry, man!

I don't know what to say!

It It didn't

Babe,

why didn't you answer my call?

Oh! Hey, Vasu.

Do you have anything to eat? I'm like,

starving.

I don't know how it happened.

But the truth is

that I was sharing

a joint with her.

And I was in a "f*ck it" mode.

So,

you decided to f*ck my relationship.

Akku,

you wrote on my profile,

I'll try everything once

I don't know. Maybe that thought

was lingering in my head then.

I don't know.

Don't look at me for answers,

guys.

I have no problem

with all of this.

What? Don't you know me by now?

This is me!

Akhil, listen. I'm into you,

okay? Big time.

My heart is open.

And my mind too.

But my mind isn't so open.

This is trauma for me.

You and her, you and me

Her and me

I just don't know.

I really don't know

how to react to you both.

What do I say to you two?

Who do I blame in this?

Do I even blame anyone?

Okay, I get it.

There was a lot of

dramatics initially.

Vasu and I made out.

- But get over it! So what?

- What?

- Kay!

- Mom!

Looks like more dramatics.

You made out with her too?

I mean, first Prashant, now Ila?

What is with you?

Mom, you're weird!

Thank you.

Okay, uh, you know what?

I think I'm going to let you guys

figure this out amongst yourselves.

Yes. Yes. That would be best.

I'll call you. I mean,

I don't know.

Maybe I will. Maybe I won't.

You will.

But I don't know if I'll

answer your call or not.

Just f*cking with you guys.

I'm really sorry, Akku.

You asked me not

to think too much.

So, I didn't.

And now, look…

I'd rather live with my anxiety.

'f*ck-it' and all that

It doesn't work for me.

What were you thinking or not thinking,

mom?

Kay,

I didn't know you liked Prashant so much.

Otherwise,

I wouldn't have done that.

Not that you can do anything with him,

okay?

Henceforth, I won't do anything.

I'm going to wear a

chastity belt around my waist.

Just like, no sex! I'm done!

Should I also meet Max?

No,

please! Find your own therapist.

What you said to grandma

yesterday was quite amazing.

I was quite proud of you.

Also, I like your haircut.

Yeah?

Yeah, I like it too.

I can't lose you, Akku.

Yeah, yeah. I know.

I can't lose you either.

Even if I wanted to.

There's something else. I've

decided to take a gap year.

As in?

As in,

I'll take a year to think and explore.

After what you said yesterday,

I got the final push.

Are you sure, Kay?

Very.

Guys, uh,

I'm going to drop another b*mb.

Dhruv and I

Mom.

I missed you, kiddo.

Oh, sh*t! Give me a minute.

What I came here for

- Your algo?

- Yeah.

It didn't work.

JC will be a part of Kechup.

f*ck!

- It's okay.

- It's okay.

Something will work out.

We've made it so far.

We'll figure something.

We won't give up.

Yeah.

- Fingers crossed.

- Fingers crossed.

But first,

let's just sit like this for ten minutes.

- It's been so long.

- It has.

- We just haven't been together like this.

- You're right.

I think the three of us

have some solid problem.

Why?

Something's wrong

with us. We're not normal.
