Masaba Masaba (2020) s02e06 Episode Script

Blurred Lines

1
Behave yourself today.
Sit quietly. We'll get a customer soon.
Do I have to sit quietly the whole day?
Yes. The whole day.
I should've run away with Mom!
I'm going to get bored with you.
-Will you go to Patnitop?
-Yes, definitely.
Come.
Look, it's not just your wedding. Okay?
It's my collection launch too.
And my brand cannot suffer
because of you developing cold feet.
I just need a little more time.
Think of it as my last hurrah!
Please.
Fateh, you're not dying,
you're getting married. Get in.
Potato. Potahto. Come on!
Guess I won't get bored today after all!
Yes, Gehna! Don't worry, we're on our way.
We'll reach before the Sangeet ceremony.
Yeah, Aisha's lehenga is with me.
And the groom also.
Just my luck to be stuck
with other people's grooms.
Yeah, yeah, his phone
His phone is dead.
Okay? Tell everyone. Right,
my battery is very low. I gotta go. Bye.
Thank you so much.
You know, I'm cleaning up
your mess right now.
And you're behaving like a complete brat.
You know that, right?
You know what? I've heard that before.
Charming brat, though.
I wonder why.
Okay, look. It's not
just about cold feet, Masaba.
I just I didn't want to get married,
and then later think "what if," you know?
Okay, so Aisha's Mom is
your role model right now.
No. If anything, she is
a handbook of what not to do in life.
But, she has a point, you know?
I mean, what if this is just not it?
What if there is more to life?
You know?
What if there is someone
you haven't met yet?
Or someone you've met at the wrong time?
Well, it is what it is.
Dad, stop the car.
What happened?
I want to pee.
Hold it for a while.
I can't hold it. I need to pee now!
Ma'am, sorry,
we have to stop for two minutes.
The kid had to use washroom.
If you want, you can also freshen up.
Can we stop near a shikara?
-Fateh!
-What? Kid needs to pee, or poop.
There is no signal here.
We came here every summer
when we were kids.
Should we go?
What do you mean "go"?
We don't have that kind of time, Fateh.
What difference will 15 minutes make?
Please.
Let's go. Maybe we'll get signal there.
Shit! None of the messages are loading.
What if Dhairya's messaged?
Maybe I should message him.
What is wrong with me?
I'm staring at my phone,
and missing all of this.
I'm in Kashmir.
On a lake.
In a shikara.
With decent company.
There are worse ways to spend a morning.
So you used to come
here every summer break?
-So lucky.
-Yeah, I was.
It was the best.
We did whatever we felt like doing.
"Touching base with our roots."
Dad would say.
But, for me, it was just fun, you know.
Cousins, cricket, boat rides.
All that pampering, and tons of food.
You know, that was
the last free time of my life.
After that, it was just
Study here, work there,
marry this person. I mean
I don't even remember
what I wanted from my life.
-Yeah! I get it.
-You do?
You look like you do whatever you want.
It's a compliment.
It's actually what I admire about you.
You just have to listen to your family.
I have to listen to magazines,
editors, social media everyone.
And my mom's always ready
with her life lectures.
But, I mean, it has been okay so far.
But, nowadays,
it's starting to bother me a bit.
Perhaps, I've also forgotten
what I wanted from my life.
So we both needed this time today.
Come on, let's forget
the real life for some time.
Let's pretend we are 12
and that this is our summer vacation.
Let's.
I haven't had this much fun in years.
Thank you for indulging my stupidity.
Like I had a choice.
I wish this ride never ends.
You can go on this endless journey alone.
I actually like my life.
Actually, I've some people
I would like to go back to.
Hello! Yes. What?
You found her? Where?
Okay, I'm coming.
I'm coming. Don't let her leave.
They found mom?
-What happened?
-They found my mom.
What do you mean?
Rami, be quiet!
Mom ran away again.
Dad goes on long tours,
so mom gets bored,
and she runs away in anger.
Then dad has to find her
and cajole her to return home.
It's repeated every month.
What's my fault, sir?
She wants me to quit working
and keep running behind her.
Sir, madam, I have to go this time also.
What do you mean?
I mean, if I don't go now,
she won't come back. Sorry.
Wait! Do you want us to get off here?
Sorry, ma'am, I have to go now.
How is this possible?
We can't get down in the middle of road.
The bus stop is right here.
You will surely get something.
Aunty, if you don't get down,
we'll take you with us.
Hey, this is not my fault, "aunty."
I don't think this bus stop is functional.
And of course, there's no signal here.
Hey! Excuse me!
Listen, can we get a bus from here?
Madam, you have to go to
the other side of forest for a bus.
Let's go.
Hey, listen! I really wanted to say sorry
for getting you in to this mess.
You must really hate me, right?
While I want to hate you, but
look at where we are.
So, you said that there are certain people
that you want to get back to.
Who were you referring to?
Where is he going with this?
You know, my mom,
my friend Gia, my employees.
That's all? You sure there's no one else?
Someone special, perhaps.
Oh, that's where he's going.
I mean, there is someone.
But it's kind of complicated.
And it hasn't even started properly.
Then just fuck it, man.
I swear, these things
should not be complicated.
Should be simple. Like this. Us.
This is easy, 'cause it's temporary.
Otherwise, ever relation has its problems.
So, then why even bother?
Yeah, that's what I thought as well
after my divorce, why even bother, right?
I just immersed myself in work
completely, and didn't feel anything.
And then, I started
to miss those complications.
Life is so dull without complications.
There's no fun in it.
And if it's with the right person, then
I guess those complications are
kind of worth it.
You know, I'm starting to think that too.
Masaba.
I've been thinking about this.
And I really believe that
If we had met sooner
I don't think I would've said
yes to this wedding.
Fuck! He actually said it.
And, I haven't felt this way before.
No, no. No, no, no, no!
I think the bus is here.
Stop, stop! One second.
-Will you go to Patnitop?
-No, this is going to Jammu.
We can drop them at Aru,
otherwise they will be stuck here.
Please come. We'll drop you till midway.
Thank you so much. Fateh, come.
What a fucking mess!
Come on, wake up! Get down.
Come on. You please get down.
We have to take a left ahead. Come on.
Fateh, wake up! We've to get off. Come on.
Thank you.
Fuck! Where's the lehenga?
Hey, stop! Please stop.
My lehenga, please stop!
Please stop!
Oh, no, man!
Fateh! Fateh!
Fateh! Do something, man.
The lehenga got left in the bus.
What can I do? Let it go.
What you mean "Let it go"?
I worked on that damn thing for weeks.
Come on. Let's go.
-We have to get it back.
-How long will you keep running for?
Let it go. Maybe it's a sign.
Sign of what?
My brand is on the line here!
Masaba, my entire life is
on the line here!
I just told you how I felt.
You are ignoring that
and running after a dress?
I mean, can you stop hiding
behind your work for five minutes,
and get real with me?
-Okay, you wanna get real?
-Yeah!
All right. Fateh, you can't
just drop a bomb on me like this
one day before your marriage.
I mean, what about Aisha?
Her family, your family?
What about all of them?
This isn't a dream sequence, Fateh.
Okay, so you don't feel anything?
Did you even hear what I said?
I heard you.
Now could you please answer the question?
I don't want to. Can we
not get into this right now, please?
Do you realize that
there is no perfect time for this?
If I can put myself out there
and risk everything,
why is it so hard for you
to answer one little question?
I don't want to.
You don't want to what?
You don't wanna feel something?
No I don't wanna feel anything.
You forgot this!
Masaba.
-Hey! Come, come, let's go.
-Come on!
Come, come, come.
I remember everything.
It's not that easy to forget you.
You shyly lowered your eyes.
Your hair drenched with rain.
The smell of your hair.
I remember everything.
And even today it's the same smell.
I spent all these years in these memories.
Nothing has changed.
Everything is just the same as before.
Can we give this marriage a chance?
This is not a hit.
This is super hit!
Come on. Clear your calendar.
Start shooting
the rest of the seven episodes.
-Enough work.
-Let's have a drink now.
Absolutely, sir. Super hit!
This is amazing!
Please come.
We are back, Neena!
You've killed it.
-Congratulations, sir!
-You too. Congratulations.
-Congrats!
-Madam!
So, be ready. Your show is
going to create waves again.
This is not my show anymore.
It's yours now.
You played your version of the edit.
See the response, Neenaji.
Everyone at the channel loved it.
That's what we wanted.
Now the rest of the episodes
are at your command.
I'm just your humble servant.
You'll go a long way
in this industry, son.
Come on, man. Let's have a drink.
Come on, let's celebrate. Come.
Hey! Hey, bathrobe party!
Where were you?
I tried calling you so many times.
Don't ask, man.
Such a roller coaster of a day.
But, you tell me.
How was your first therapy session?
Weird at first,
then we got talking and it was fine only.
Give it some time. It'll take some
sessions for the actual therapy to start.
Yeah. I'm just glad,
at least, that I went.
Baby steps, right?
Now you're sounding like Gia.
Listen, I know I haven't been there
for you, but you know I love you, right?
Yeah, I know that. Now tell me.
-What?
-I can read your face
that you're dying to tell me something.
So just spit it out.
Babe, I fucked everything up.
Oh, my God! Tell me everything.
I'm ready. Spill the tea.
So you know that guy, Fateh?
The groom,
whose wedding I'm designing for.
Fuck! You fucked him?
No! We just kissed.
Oh, my God, that's even worse!
Fuck, dude! How? When? What?
Aren't they getting mar
Fuck, did they call off the wedding?
No! Gia, it was a mistake. Okay?
It just happened.
And now everything is fucked.
And I have to go to this damn sangeet
and House of Shaadi launch shit.
Okay, chill. You can handle it.
This is all that Dhairya's fault. I swear.
Why? What did Mr. Rana do?
I thought everything was going well.
He was giving hint
after hint for so many days.
And when I started opening up finally,
he just backed off.
Then I felt super rejected.
I mean, I tried talking to him,
but we had a fight again.
-I bet, he is completely over me now.
-Boys!
Man, imagine all this mess
happening after I stopped dating.
My hoe phase had less drama.
That's the point of a hoe phase.
Anyway, fuck all this.
Focus on your collection.
You've worked too damn hard
to let it fall apart now.
Dude, how come
I always know what to do at work,
but in my personal life,
I'm such a dumb fuck?
'Cause we're all dumb fucks
when it comes to love.
But figuring it out is part of the fun.
-Fun for you.
-Yeah!
Go to the sangeet and then call me back.
I need all the details.
-Aye, aye, captain.
-Okay, bye.
Hey! Neena?
Come, let's go.
We're all going for drinks to celebrate.
No, you go. I'm not in mood.
Come on, man. Don't you want to see
where and how Mr. Jamal and Jaffar live?
I also want to see
if their wives also wear
matching clothes like the two.
What happened? Why is your mood so off?
Tell me the truth, Shekhar.
Did you like this pilot?
The project got the green light,
what more do I want?
I want a good show.
This is nothing like Fursat.
You know, 30 years ago, when we made
Fursat, it was much more modern than this.
They have ruined the whole show.
Okay. Changing with the times,
it's not really that wrong,
if you think about it.
No! Hear me out, hear me out.
At that time, we were making
a progressive show.
Now, because of the web,
everyone is trying to make
progressive shows.
So, now if we make traditional show,
maybe we'll stand out a little more.
You think this a traditional show?
Be honest, it's ridiculous.
Just ridiculous!
You know, Shekhar, for so many years
our audience has stuck by us.
I'm not worried about
the expectations of the channel.
I'm worried about fulfilling
the expectations of my audience.
I can't let them down. I can't cheat them.
Okay, do you want us to talk to Mr. Jaffar
and Mr. Jamal? Is that what you want?
There's no use talking to them.
They liked this pilot.
Their taste is very different from ours.
It's no use.
So, then?
I was thinking about
talking to another channel.
Are you crazy? What are you suggesting?
The channel has the rights.
So, what? We'll change the name.
-Hey!
-Just listen.
We will be the lead actors.
We'll use my original script.
Audience will understand it's the same
show. Many people have done this before.
I can't believe you're saying this!
One minute.
If both of them get to know this,
they'll stop that show, we'll lose
this show also. Do you want that?
They won't know. I'm telling you.
Trust me. I'll figure something out.
-Are you that confident?
-Yeah.
Okay, then, I'm with you.
Thank you.
Now, at least have a drink with me.
Come on, man!
Listen, quickly take whatever photos
that you want. I have zero energy left.
Just dance with the bride and groom
for ten minutes,
I'll quickly take it.
Besides, you have to give
a personal touch in the wedding business.
I just need a picture of you
having good time.
Thank you.
What's wrong with you?
Ma'am, I need a drink.
Actually, I also need a drink.
Come, buddy, I'll give you orange juice.
I'll get you a drink also.
What're you doing? I'm going
to the stage for a dance. You also come.
-Please.
-Come. Come on!
Okay. Leave your drink. Come!
Hey, Masaba?
Why are you standing here alone?
-Come, come for a dance. Join us.
-Come, come, come.
It's only when you step away
from the chaos of everyday life
do you see things clearly.
And you realize that your head
might lead you astray
but your heart always knows what's right.
In that spirit, we give you a sneak peak
of our House of Shaadi collection,
bringing hearts together
on their most special day.
#Biglaunchtomorrow
Voice note?
He always calls me.
Hey, Masaba. Just wanted
to wish you good luck for tomorrow.
It's a big day for all of us.
But especially for you.
All your hard work and sacrifices
It's all gonna pay off.
And
About the other day,
it's not like I didn't want to kiss you.
I mean I've been wanting to kiss you
from the first time I saw you.
But I just didn't want it
to happen like that.
I just wanted it to be perfect.
Fateh, what are you doing here?
I don't know.
Look, you shouldn't be here.
You're getting married tomorrow.
Then why can't I stop thinking
about our kiss?
Hey, hey. What?
Fateh, are you serious right now?
You kiss me
and then dance with Aisha at the sangeet
and then show up at my door.
I was following my heart, Masaba.
Okay. So, is the wedding off then?
Fuck the wedding.
You know
I haven't stopped
thinking about you since we met.
And trust me,
I really tried
to do the right thing, but
I'm not able to do it.
You have this effect of me.
I know you feel it too.
You kissed me back.
I felt it. I was there.
Whatever happens, we'll face it.
Right now, all I know,
is that I really want to kiss you.
Are you done?
With your rom-com performance?
You know, when I was in my 20s,
these sort of lines
would have knocked me flat.
Yeah?
But I'm a grown ass woman now.
And I can tell romance from bullshit.
And this is bullshit.
Hey
We made a mistake.
That's it. Let's move on.
So, you're saying,
you don't feel anything between us?
That we don't have a connection?
You're not here because of a "connection."
You're here because you're a fuckboy.
Okay.
You're here to fuck me one night
before you're marrying someone else.
If that's not the definition of a fuckboy
then I don't know what is.
And whatever little connection we had,
you just cheapened it by showing up here,
drunk and horny.
It's not sexy, Fateh.
It's fucking spineless.
Aisha deserves better.
And so do I.
