On behalf of the board of trustees of SVM university of medical sciences
the dean Dr. Sarla Desai has appointed you as the president
of the student body.
You got the hint my dad gave you, ma'am.
Yes. It was quite a good hint.
It matches with my handbag too.
Our taste is quite similar, ma'am.
Had I been in your place, I would have appointed myself as the president.
Well, now that we are on the same wavelength
these are some of the NOCs that we needed from the student body.
I like it. You don't waste any time, ma'am.
I am glad the watch is in good hands.
Now that's interesting.
Spare some water for others too.
I don't wake up early morning and stand in the queue for others.
Saw that? It's got over.
- Now... - Oh man!
The warden will refill it in an hour. Don't shout.
Hey!
What? Water got over?
Water has got over.
The tank is empty. Water has got over.
The tank is empty.
Water has got over.
'In another news'
'the dental girls were recently shifted to a new third world hostel.'
'In the hostel tension is escalating like Border movie.'
'Jo didn't find any fucks to give.'
'She applied for a holiday and went home.'
'Due to water crisis Mili got a new excuse to skip bath.'
'Rest everything is fine.'
'So let me put my hostel life this way.'
'Our new hostel is so small'
'it's like UP's population has been shifted to Goa.'
'Each room has three instead of two girls.'
'Which was already their in our room. '
'Due to overpopulation there is water crisis.'
'Rest everything is fine.'
If you wanted to fill 8 liters of water you should have brought a bucket.
I drink 8 liters of water.
That's my basic skincare routine.
Your skincare routine doesn't seem to be working.
Use a moisturizer like normal people do.
- Hey! What? - Hey! What are you saying?
- Don't act smart with me... - Water.
Water. Water.
'We were shifted from one stable to another like pigs.'
'The only difference is'
'that the other hostel doesn't have water for even muck.'
'But in India water shortage is as normal'
'as dentist's existential crisis.'
'Speaking of pigs I remembered.'
'A new branch of girls' hostel view point'
'has opened next to our hostel.'
'But still, the sex ratio at a tea stall at any given time'
'is like that of Haryana.'
'So girls, don't come here to chill.'
'As it is, there is only one track of our life.'
'Library after college and hostel after library.'
'Internal exams are after one and a half month.'
'And my exam prep isn't good at all.'
Ma'am.
Where can I get today's newspaper?
News and media. On the right.
Thank you.
'There is overload of studies.'
'Like skip ads I am skipping it all.'
'Sadly speaking, Aarav and my romance is still textual instead of sexual.'
'Even if we could meet,'
'there is an invisible wall of dental and medical.'
'What is left in life that's good?'
'On top of all of that,'
'each year the president of student body is appointed.'
'But this year has been a disappointment.'
Ramya, I am working as a personal secretary.
At least make me general secretary.
Sukanya, people look at you here and call you a bra thief.
Do you want to be one?
Thank you.
I am already getting sick of these handshakes.
I get now why Hitler made people hail for him.
Alright everybody.
Lend me your ears.
Now.
Thank you.
We have organized 'Holi' party in the medical campus this year.
Faculty members will be invited.
But once they leave, the real party will begin.
You guys can also come.
There is no water shortage in medical campus.
Hey!
You left your pad inside.
It's not mine.
Listen. Just accept that it's yours.
Okay? Disgusting bitch!
Hey! Hey! Relax.
I am saying it's not mine.
It could be anybody's. Anybody could forget it.
- Yes. - Who went to the washroom before you?
It's not mine.
Who has got periods from both of you?
Both.
We are that kind of friends.
Don't you have such friends?
Doesn't seem so.
Yes, that's why she is always grumpy.
She mustn't be having any friends.
I won't leave the pad.
Mili, I think it was mine.
I don't know where my mind is these days.
I think I am losing my mind.
I hate this hostel.
No, Richa. I think it must be mine.
You see, I change four pads a day.
Because I come from a well-to-do family, my flow is heavy.
Sometimes I forget.
- Must be mine. - Guys.
A major scene is going on downstairs.
Please go.
- Quick! Quick! Quick! - Where are you going?
I forgot my pad. I will just come.
How will we wash our hair? Ma'am, just imagine.
- Ma'am, go and talk to the dean. - Ma'am, it's a very serious problem.
How will we wash our hair?
- You should talk to the dean. - Don't point fingers.
Don't point fingers and talk.
Hey! Don't point fingers. Don't point fingers and talk.
I won't speak. You girls can go on blabbering.
I won't speak.
There is no water supply since four days.
You have shoved three girls into a room unsuitable for habitation.
I turn around and I dash with Momo.
There is severe water shortage that I have to cook Maggi using my tears.
I watch Ashutosh Gowariker's entire movie
while standing in the bathroom queue.
When the hostel's capacity is limited
then why have you accepted extra girls?
Yes. I will look like an extra.
In your room. In your group.
Zahira still calls me Fomo.
My pet name is Momo.
Fomo.
Let me come to the point.
Can you see what's happening?
What are you doing about the situation?
Hey, listen!
You are not the only one facing water crisis.
I also stay here.
My Tulsi has withered and turned into a cactus.
She has got wrinkles on her face.
My Tulsi is only one-year-old. One-year-old.
Whether there is water or not, we are all on the same boat.
If things don't change, we will need lifeboats.
Why don't you talk to the dean?
Dean is the one who has transferred us from the ship to this boat.
You see, she will upgrade that hostel.
Next year she will extract extra money from management quota.
Hold on.
Such a major decision was taken without giving it a thought.
She should have spoken to the affected party.
When Ramya Mantri, who is in the hot seat, has locked the answer
what is the use of audience poll?
Come on.
Okay. Goodnight.
And please. Please take good care of yourself.
Ramya Mantri hashtag is not my president.
She hasn't come to even peep into the hostel.
It's better to appoint a Bisleri delivery guy as our president.
Our Prashant?
Why will he leave his lucrative business and become our president?
Listen, warden. It's enough now.
I am also watching you.
What's up Richa?
Hi, Jo. How was home?
That's Joshi Niwas. I had gone there to wash my clothes.
This is my home.
So from Pune you went to Kalyan to wash clothes?
Elections were going on. I had gone there to vote.
Who did you vote for?
NOTA.
So from Pune you went to Kalyan to choose NOTA?
Yes.
I have never voted in my life.
There's always a first time, Mili.
What's the use of NOTA, Jo? It's just one vote wasted.
But if the answer of a multiple choice question is none of the above
I will have to select that.
Girls, our guard has reported directly from the terrace.
All four tanks in the hostel are empty, just like my life.
There will be water supply for only an hour.
After that nothing.
Let's see who is first in the queue.
One. Two. - Jo, we are really sorry.
- Sorry. - And three.
Come on.
- Twitter. Twitter. - Hi, guys.
Twitter, listen. Do you know what happened?
I will tell you later.
I will remove all of it.
Turn it off. Come on.
Who is that?
Hey! Get a room, you guys.
Come out.
Who is it?
Come out.
Just wait a second.
Listen. What are you doing?
Listen. Jo, behave.
What is wrong with you?
Remove the rest too.
What the fuck are you doing?
Sorry. Use a bucket for bathing.
I take shower baths.
Why?
Is bending over too out of your style?
I don't bend over for anyone who asks.
Why should I suffer if the administration couldn't do its job?
Suffering has just started.
You will understand when you won't even be able to wipe your ass clean.
What the fuck is she talking about?
Water crisis is prevalent in the world.
Widen your bubble a little.
Listen. I am aware of the situation.
I didn't run away from home like you.
- I did run away. - Guys. Guys.
Shall we stop fighting?
You should go question the system. Fine?
If you want to fight, go and fight with Ramya Mantri.
She has organized 'Holi' party in her campus.
Exactly my point.
That's why I am going to go speak with the dean
and arrange for two water tankers.
And propose long term plans like
Installing rain water harvesting in all campuses.
When kids will come after 4 years
they will bless you for your 5-year plan.
Shall I tackle the present situation?
Hey!
From today everybody will bathe for 40 seconds instead of 40 minutes.
Every alternate day. Using a bucket.
From today it's going to be a dry 'Holi'.
Hey, Jo! Hey, Jo!
- You should whisper the plan in my ears. - Explain to her. What is this?
I have to make the announcement.
- Why we should listen to her? - What is your plan of action?
You can't go in.
I need to meet with the dean.
She is busy.
Yes. She is busy from the time she has become a dean.
Can you take my appointment please?
She has an important appointment.
You can mail your concerns to admin at svmuni.com.
I don't think you get it.
No. We get all the students mails in the spasm folder.
Don't worry.
What's your name?
Zahira Ali.
What's your name?
My name is Sheela.
Sheela Kechwani.
Ms. Kechwani, you must be new in this college.
I am here since three years.
I am the founder of science cultural and fight club.
And I have been university topper for the last two years.
Hey, Audi!
Ms. Mantri, ma'am is waiting for you.
What do we do now?
Defiance.
Oh!
There is water shortage. So we will uproot the medical's hand pump.
Love the idea.
I mean, mutiny.
Revolution.
40 seconds over.
You know, Richa.
I get Rs. 3000 monthly allowance from home.
I use Rs. 800 to buy pads.
It's better that I get pregnant.
I will save money for 9 months.
As such, children are future investment.
If children could be born with mere imagination
Aarav and my children would have been in second standard by now.
We are still stuck at the same place.
How can I bathe in 40 seconds?
I have to keep the conditioner for 3 minutes.
Come on!
What the fuck!
Everybody is saying only one thing!
Ramya Mantri is a cheater!
We will snatch water for sure!
Hey! Where are you going?
Hey! It's your number!
Everybody is saying only one thing!
Ramya Mantri is a cheater!
We will snatch water for sure!
Do whatever you want, Ramya darling!
The one whose blood is not boiling
has got water and not blood in his body!
What she means to say is...
We are...
We are starting a non cooperation movement against the management.
For which we need your cooperation.
Whoa!
It is so bad that even the gamers are here.
- Revolution! - Long live!
'Today I realized something.'
- Come on, say all! - 'There are two ways of living life.'
'One is to let things be the way they are.'
'To simply endure.'
'Or accept responsibility to change it.'
'The one whose blood is not boiling'
'has got water and not blood in his body!'
'If there is blood flow and you have got periods.'
'you still need to raise your voice.'
Hey! Where are you girls going all decked up as heroines?
The towel march won't stop now.
Fulfill our demands!
Fill our tanks to the full!
- Our.. - Hey! Get it done later.
Nobody will go out without wearing clothes.
Fine.
If we cannot wash our hair we won't tolerate brainwash in class too.
We will sit here all day.
All in all, you are just another brick in the wall.
Hema! Rekha! Jaya! And Sushma!
We will use it provided there is water.
Hey! Come back!
Hey! Naked girl!
The tank is full.
Fill water.
Hey! Only two bottles each!
This is day two of our protest.
And still, no word from the dean.
And I can't even tag her because I can't find her on Instagram.
As far as Ramya Mantri is concerned she has blocked me.
What kind of leaders are they?
If you abuse them on DM, they block you.
- Hashtag not my president. - What are you doing?
Demonstration.
I can see that.
Why are you doing it here?
We are exercising our democratic right to protest.
Democratic rights have its place in democracy.
Nobody will hear you here.
The water tank has been filled.
Those who want to bathe can bathe.
Jo, for how long will we bathe for 40 seconds?
This temporary solution is fine.
But we will have to think about a long term solution.
Yes. My hair has turned frizzy since I am not using conditioner.
I mean, you don't give a fuck about looks.
But at least you have got good personality.
Fine. But..
I mean, I am not an expert on protest. Because I haven't done it before.
But it's useless to protest here.
The whole point of protesting is to let the system know
that you are in dissent with their choices.
She has got a point.
And she is talking to us.
When is 'Holi'?
It's Holi! It's Holi!
- It's Holi! - Come on!
[indistinct chatter]
Ramya Mantri bye-bye!
Go back! Go back!
Go back! You cannot go inside!
Go back!
Ramya Mantri bye-bye!
Fulfill our demands! Fulfill our demands!
You cannot go inside with the banners!
- Go back! Nobody will come forward! - Let's us go.
Go back!
Don't yell! What happened?
- What happened? - Sir, if we don't shout,
how will you hear our demands? Tell me.
As it is, I can't hear. The music is so loud inside.
Sir, we are here for a silent protest. We are not here to hurt anyone.
This is no time or place for protest.
I am sorry. You guys are welcomed. But these banners are not allowed.
Sir, you can't do this!
- Sir, listen... - Sir, this wrong. This is unfair.
Sir, this is unfair.
What are you doing? Where shall we go?
- Why shall we go back? - Don't touch.
- What happened? - Move!
Aarav, they are not letting us take the banners inside.
How will you not let us go?
I have brought chart paper, waterproof pen.
- Please talk. - Hold on. I will talk.
Let me talk.
Brother KRK.
Mild or ultra mild would you like to have?
No! Go back! You also go back!
- At least listen to me. - Go back!
Fulfill our demands!
Give us water!
Fulfill our demands!
Sorry for interrupting the fun, guys.
Happy 'Holi'.
We have few esteemed guests in our presence today.
So I would like to welcome our dean Dr. Sarla Desai.
To honor our guest of honor Dr. Prasanna.
I will speak with her once this is over.
Thank you everyone for having me.
And happy 'Holi' to all of you.
As such, I don't play 'Holi' now.
But when I was a kid,
we used to play 'Holi' with turmeric powder.
Which has medicinal value.
You play 'Holi' and next day your acnes and pimples are gone.
Your face becomes clearer and fairer.
That is also how I was first introduced to medical science.
Now there are so many artificial colors
but we had a very different life then.
Even in our college there were only few qualified professors to teach us.
So we didn't need to bunk classes.
Because many times our professors wouldn't come to class.
But you would get water, wouldn't you?
Where is Palak?
Look. I am not denying that there is problem in your hostel.
But I also have certain limitations.
I am a doctor, not a civil engineer.
I mean, I cannot construct a new hostel for you girls overnight
and shift all of you there.
Rome was not built in a day, you know.
And you should have tackled internal problems among yourselves.
But now, I am answerable even to the trustees.
Do you know?
Dr. Prasanna is so traumatized.
He remembered his emergency days.
He was saying that the festival of colors has dug up his old wounds.
He was crying.
Ma'am, sorry. But all actions have consequences.
We have been voicing out our concerns since many days.
But nobody is listening.
If you have a problem, voice out your concerns.
It is your right.
But there is a certain way of doing it.
You need to go through a proper channel.
Why do you have student president for?
Ma'am, Ramya Mantri does not care about us.
If not for her,
this whole crisis would have been handled in a much better way.
But as you said, all actions have consequences.
Right?
So Palak, in the light of your despicable behavior
you are suspended for a week.
But ma'am.. - Why?
If only you submit an apology to Dr. Prasanna.
Or else you could be rusticated.
Ma'am, like you said it's our right to voice out our problems.
- Through a proper channel. - Through a proper channel.
Right?
But that proper channel should be available to us.
You girls have a problem with Ramya Mantri's appointment.
I have not received any other complaint.
That's right.
But the others?
Doesn't their opinion matter?
What do you mean?
Elections.
Students of SVM university will choose their own president.
Whether it's Ramya Mantri from medical
or from dental Zahira Ali.
Hey, Jo!
Yo!
Don't tell Tulsi that I smoke.
I can't lie if she asks me.
Guys!
The dean has announced elections.
It's going to be Zahira vs. Ramya now.
And it begins.
