Alexa, play shower sounds.
Akhil.
Akhil, it's mom.
Oh, mom!
Wh What a shock! I mean,

We'll stay here till evening,

On your way to
Do you want me to talk to you
through the door? Come out.
Mom,
I'm in the shower. Gimme five.
Okay.
Alexa, play some heavy metal.
Where's my phone?
Where is it?
Alexa, shut up!
'There is no need to be rude.'
Where's my phone?
Alexa, where's my phone?
Good morning, Mrs Iyer.
Good morning,
beta. You're up so early today.
- Aunty, actually, my mom's visiting us.
- Okay.
She was so impressed looking
at the beauty of our colony.
She wanted to know
whose idea it was.
I mentioned your name,
obviously.
Wow!
Mrs Gayatri asked about me?
Aunty,
could you come up now to meet ma?
Yes. I'll be there in some time.
See you soon.
Good Morning, Mrs Gayatri!
I brought some
coconut 'barfi' for you.
- Okay. Good morning.
- Good.
- Greetings, Mrs Iyer.
- Greetings.
Please sit.
We're lucky this time. The
'neem' tree grew so well.
I didn't have to
add fertilisers.
Do you think we should
plant some Eucalyptus trees?
Mrs Gayatri,
you have some beautiful new plants at home.
Very nice. Even the little
succulent looks so gorgeous.
Akhil!
Hi, Mrs Iyer.
- How are you?
- Hi, mom.
I'm in a hurry. I have
to go to the office.
- Today
- Son!
- Hi.
- Have a seat.
Dad,
I'll be back in the evening.
You could go in late sometimes.
Come on. Spend some time with us.
Selvi told me that you go
to the office around 11 am.
If I didn't know better,
I would think you are trying to avoid us.
Come on, mom.
No, Mrs Gayatri. Akhil
is a good boy. Am I right?
It depends, Mrs Iyer.
I'm a very good boy on
Tuesdays and Thursdays.
But on the other days,
tough to predict!
Amazing!
- Hi, mom
- Mom
Come.
- Hello, uncle.
- Hello, Dhruv.
- What the
- Good to see you.
Did I travel through
time in my sleep?
And then, today
Is today one year ago?
Lovely to see you, Dhruv.
You too, Vasu.
Hari Om!
Why did you not tell me?
I found out from Kavanya.
Why did you keep it from me?
And now what? Are you back?
What chutney is this?
Is it the garlic one?
Tomato, onion.
Okay. In that case,
it's fine. As long as it's not garlic.
I hate garlic.
And garlic.
Mom, I'll manage.
I'm almost 40 years old.
If getting old had anything
to do with smartness,
your cousin What's
his name? Pradeep!
He would've been a genius.
Talk to me, Vasudha. I can
help you with this, you know.
It's done.
Now, please let me manage this.
Vasudha, you had one job.
You had to maintain your marriage,
but you couldn't do that.
Mom, you know Dhruv had an
affair with his assistant, right?
I saw them in my
bed with my own eyes.
That aside,
we were not in
sync for a long time.
And I was not happy.
Are you happy now?
Oh my God!
Dhruv is a good guy. You're
not perfect either, Vasudha.
20 years of marriage
is a big investment.
You have to sort
this disaster out.
I've been so stressed.
Why are you
calling it a disaster?
Wow! I have to interrupt
this family drama.
This chutney is so good, Selvi.
It's garlic chutney, Akhil.
Sorry, I added it by mistake.
What? But it is so tasty.
And I was refusing to have it.
Okay. I have to
go to the gallery.
So, I'll see y'all later.
Yeah. Me too.
See you guys later.
Did we get the
results from Dennis?
His codes run on the UI, right?
Well, guys,
the good news is that
the test results of Dennis'
sample code are looking great.
In fact,
some of our customers are saying
that our new interface is high on fun,
safety and is modern.
- So
- It's way better, man. Seriously!
Like,
my cousin is back on Kechup.
Basically,
she was a part of this sample test.
And guess what,
guys? She liked it a lot.
And she also told me how
many 'throuples' were there on it.
'Throuples' refers to three
people dating each other.
1.2 million!
What do you mean by 1.2 million?
If 125 guests confirm the RSVP,
and if 40 of them
spend Rs 30,000 on an art piece,
do you know how much we'd make?
- 1.2 million.
- Rs 1.2 million!
Do you know how much we'd make if
you sell three of Sangram's paintings?
I don't know. I mean, I don't know
how they'll react to Sangram's paintings.
I'm really nervous.
Excited, but
But nervous.
What do you mean by that? Of course,
it's gonna be great.
And people are not that brutish
that they will ignore an
original artist like Sangram.
That reminds me,
I have invited the Proficient crowd too.
I'm not sure whether they'll come
or not. Please, don't be upset.
No. Very good.
- What?
- We're just one week away.
Be paranoid or
android or whatever!
Anyway, what we can do is
we'll wait for a few more weeks
to see how Dennis'
new algo performs.
And then we can
launch it officially. Okay?
Yeah.
I can keep sharing updates
on the weekly emails.
Yeah.
Akhil, do you want your chair?
I mean,
I can move in case you wanna sit here.
No, man I'm cool.
Alright.
Fine. Let's meet for the
5 pm daily huddle. Right?
And we have
gourmet pizzas today.
Which one? 16-inch?
Alright. Good stuff,
guys. I'll see you at 5.
- Thank you.
- See you.
- Panku!
- Yes.
Do you have a minute?
Yes. I have a meeting,
but I have a minute. Tell me.
He's doing well.
JC!
Are you alright?
This one is from Bhaskar.
He told me to
keep it in the fridge.
What is it?
I don't know.
The truth about the fucked-up
relations between my mom and me.
I don't know.
What do you mean?
- Panku, I quit.
- What?
Not like that.
I mean,
I quit my whining about JC.
He'd be a good CEO.
I mean,
we haven't formalised anything yet,
but he has picked
up stuff so fast.
His ideas are interesting,
and he's bonded well with the team too.
I don't know why I was so against him,
acting like a lone warrior.
I just got it, dude.
As it is, I'm under pressure
because of this exhibition.
And after what happened in the morning,
I might lose my cool soon.
Oh my God! Is your
mom Darth Vader?
I don't know. You know she
makes me feel small very fast.
I don't know. Sometimes,
it's so difficult to understand her.
And I'm at a loss of
words in front of her.
How did you come
to this conclusion?
Chutney, man!
- It hit me deeply.
- What?
These things
remind me of my life.
All of it.
It's all there. It's
scattered and messy.
A complete mess.
Hopefully,
it'll come together at some point in time.
You're quite weird, bro.
That's what I thought
in the morning.
We're finally on the same page.
I'm a fucking rebel
without a cause.
And now,
I'm feeling much better.
Okay. See you later.
Should I just fucking ruin
all his algo and codes?
Naah! fuck it!
- Hey
- Class.
Go late. Anyway,
Subramanian anyway bores with his
political discussions and all.
No. I hate going late. Come on.
I can't walk now.
That's your problem.
Is there anything
about you that's normal?
I mean, how can you love fries
and beer? Be so much like a 'bro',
yet, can be a perfect girl.
Do you like me,
or do you like my preferences?
I don't know whether it is normal or not,
but this is who I'm.
I guess you can call
me unpredictable.
What?
Well, there's something that
wasn't unpredictable about you.
You kiss like a boss!
No, I mean it.
And I'm sure that
when we finally do do it,
it's gonna be great.
There's gonna be fireworks!
Listen. Although I'm great in bed,
of course
Of course.
Expectation is the
mother of all fuck-ups.
The more you plan it or talk about it
It'll never match up to the real deal.
And let our first
time be different.
Okay. I'm listening.
Okay.
How about you, me
and her?
You mean you wanna go for a
triangle instead of a straight line!
Like a samosa.
I mean,
come on! Wine and popcorn!
Just weird.
So, why not just me?
Okay.
7 o'clock on your left.
She's chatting up someone
instead of looking at her phone.
It means her chances
of responding are high.
Watch and learn.
I'll be back.
- Hi!
- Hi.
- Mind if I join you?
- Sure.
Let's see what we've got.
- Oh my!
- Got it!
- There's a lot of hay.
- Wait, wait, wait.
Sameer Sawant's contribution.
Roots up, fruits down.
Are they idiots,
or do they think we are?
Is there anything else inside?
No. It's just grass.
Hi! I'm busy.
Rinzing!
- Meet Ila.
- Hi.
And Sonia.
- Hi!
- Hi!
He's cute.
Thank you? Same to you?
Beer?
- Bro, listen. You, Ila, Sonia and me.
- Thank you.
Foursome.
Fucker,
my Kechup date will be arriving.
That's why you're wearing
cologne and a cool shirt!
I knew you'd drop by today.
That's why I got dressed up.
I knew it!
The first day when you laid your
eyes on me at the breakfast table,
I knew that you and I
had something
But, bro, sorry.
I'm here because of Ilu.
Ilu
- Hi!
- What's up?
Hi!
Don't bother.
- Hi!
- Hey, Rinzing!
- Hi! How are you?
- Hey!
Hi!
- Do you have guests over?
- Come in.
- Ila.
- Sonia.
Akhil.
- Jasmeet.
- Hi.
Come on. We want to
discuss something with you.
Sure.
What the fuck is going on?
Discussion.
Hi, mom!
Right on time! Good. Will
Kavanya be joining us?
No. She's staying with Dhruv
tonight. She has a study group.
Oh, yes! Yes! She told me.
- Are you both fine?
- Yeah. Of course!
Okay.
Just gimme two minutes.
I'll freshen up and come.
Yes.
And Vasu,
do something about your hair.
Wear a scarf or something.
By the way, we'll have to do it
with one person at a time, right?
That's up to you.
Actually,
I haven't done it before.
But everyone has needs, right?
This feels more like
greed and not a need.
And I love being greedy.
One is better than four!
Why not?
Of course! You're a smart girl.
You'll get four instead of one.
Have y'all done this before?
She's the most experienced one.
The rest of us are just
letting it go and trying our luck.
Under her leadership.
Come on, Jasmeet.
You've come to Bengaluru
to spend your holidays.
Take back some great
memories with you.
Or you might regret not trying
it once you return to Ludhiana.
Yes.
- Yes?
- Yes!
- Cheers!
- Cheers!
- Shall we?
- Oh! I'm so excited!
Wow! I like her.
- Come on.
- Come on.
Come, come, come.
All this is happening
because of the chutney.
- I'll tell you about it later.
- Oh! I see.
Okay.
Okay. Yeah.
Wait a second.
Fuck it!
I'll go that way.
I Should I try to get under?
I
Have fun, guys.
Akhil Rao, let it go!
What happened?
Well, everyone seemed quite
happy amongst themselves.
I stopped gate-crashing
parties since I was 13.
Rinzing is having fun.
Fuck yeah! I mean,
if this was an Olympic sport,
Rinzing would have
won a lot of gold medals!
Oops!
I got a dinner at
home with the parents.
Do you want to join us?
You want me to meet your
parents after a fivesome!
It's a bit much. Next time?
But you can drop
me off on the way.
You don't wanna stay!
I was doing it for you.
Why would I stay
here without you?
But you know what! I'm
glad we're back together.
Guys,
are we trying to recreate a family moment?
You know when we
used to watch TV together,
which, in my memory,
happened only twice.
Because mom had work calls,
and dad was busy with sermons.
Don't be like this, Akhil.
Like what? Myself?
Are you showing us the
photos you took on the cruise?
Hi! Hello, kids!
Namaste!
Akhil,
could you sit up straight? Please.
Mom
Where are these kids from?
They are our kids.
What do you mean?
I mean,
they study at Ramnath School.
It is an orphanage.
Our post-retirement plan
is to take care of them.
We adopted this orphanage.
We're going there
in the morning.
- Ramesh.
- Hi!
- Vinil.
- Hi!
Sita!
Rakhi! You're
wearing the pink dress!
Oh! We bought this from Bali.
You look beautiful
in that pink dress.
Thank you, ma'am.
Very nice.
How are you, Gagan?
Everything's well, Mrs Gayatri and
Mr Rao. We'll be meeting tomorrow?
Yes. We'll leave by 6.
Akku,
they've already ruined our lives.
Are they gonna destroy
the whole school?
They look so cute.
I feel bad for them.
Look,
we have to tolerate them until tomorrow.
- So, let it go!
- Okay.
Kids, this is your elder brother,
Akhil.
Akhil, talk to them.
Hi, brothers and sisters.
Hi!
Good luck.
If you have any complaints about
mom and dad, my toll-free number
is 9810098100.
He's just joking. Really,
Akhil! Please.
And this is your elder sister,
Vasudha.
- Hi!
- Hi!
Akku, these poor kids!
Just a minute. The kids
want to say something.
Come on, kids! Together
Thank you!
We've gifted them these tablets.
Why did he take the violin out?
And kids,
you will soon have your own Wi-Fi.
We've spoken to
two service providers.
It'll definitely be
ready by next week.
Wi-Fi! Yes!
Akhil! What happened? Wi-Fi?
Yes,
mom. This is what happens here.
That's why we couldn't answer your
calls when you were on the cruise.
I finally got the tune right.
And look at this.
This is really the pits,
you know!
This was our intro call. It
was supposed to go smoothly.
We'll have to do damage
control as soon as we reach there.
Mom,
are we your testimonials or your children?
I just don't get you,
Akhil. I don't get you at all.
Why can't you take
things seriously?
Mom, I have you for that.
CSO! Chief Seriousness Officer!
Akhil!
Anyway,
we'll meet them tomorrow.
Oh! Are you leaving
tomorrow morning?
Yes.
And we'll be back in a week,
right? To attend Vasudha's exhibition.
- Okay. Good night. See you then.
- Good night.
- Good night.
- Good night.
Poor kids! They were so excited.
You both could have
been a little nicer.
I guess you both are so busy
with your lives that it just
They're just kids.
Don't worry about them.
That's exactly what they thought
about us and our childhood.
Hate-same matches!
What if
we love those who hate
the same things we do?
Potatoes and veggies,
tea, coffee,
dogs, cats,
mummy and papa
If we hate the same dishes,
the matches will be higher.
Let's see, guys.
I mean,
putting this as our last shot.
Here. The perfect dessert.
Had gone for a fivesome.
I got it from there.
- Are you kidding me?
- No.
I finally got it.
Let it go!
- Forget about everything.
- Really?
Why didn't you let it go
in front of mom and dad?
There's a limit to everything.
I already finished
my quota today.
Okay. If you
really like Ila a lot,
I'll try and be nice to her.
You'll like her. She's fun.
We'll be fine.
But dad plays the
violin beautifully.
Yeah, man!
That's true! Beautiful!
