No curfew. No dress codes.
Student council. College fest. Inclusive policy of college.
Bio-waste management. Water conservation.
Mental health campaigns.
It's a bit too long.
Zahira, what are you doing to improve your scores?
Ma'am, I have applied for reevaluation. I am sure I will score better.
Sure.
Before working on your manifesto it's better to work on yourself.
I am sorry, ma'am. I don't understand.
And why are you here, anyway?
Ma'am, I am the vice president of the student council.
Then let me make it easy for you.
Because for us to work together
we definitely need to come to an understanding.
I need you to sign this document.
Ma'am, it says that 15 lakhs has been spent on student welfare.
It's true. Why?
Don't you girls love the new whitewash done in your hostel?
Ma'am, paint worth 15 lakhs?
It took three coats.
And a new water tank has also been installed.
Somebody will have to do the work.
While you do your internship.
So now, the college is giving only 60000 rupees for student welfare fund?
Welfare.
Student welfare. Why?
What difficulties are they facing?
Ma'am, we did a students' survey.
And for one, our hostel fees are very steep.
And facilities are quite few.
Ma'am, we want transparency between the students and student welfare funds.
But all that is not your concern.
I think you guys took students election a bit too seriously.
If Ramya Mantri had been the president
she would have never interfered in all these matters.
But unfortunately...
You are the president.
The decision is yours.
Heed me.
Sign the document.
Otherwise, your student council will be good-for-nothing.
'Attitude.'
'What is that? Mili and I learnt it two days ago.'
'Because now, we are also cool seniors.'
'Look. Whether you get good rooms in the hostel or not'
'but it's guaranteed that you will get good friends.'
'The dean didn't allow us to have freshers' party.'
'But Zahira has organized free camps to welcome the freshers.'
'Mili says that we will be the best student leaders of SVM.'
'But Mili speaks rubbish.'
Some of the sperms rush towards the egg.
The way asteroids head towards earth.
But one asteroid races towards earth.
-And we... -Get pregnant.
Yes. Anything is possible.
Sonu. Monu. Varun. Shagun. Ria. Gonnorhea. Lydia. Chlamydia.
That's why. Use condom. And enjoy.
'Mili also said that Aarav and I are soul mates.'
'But when Aarav went to Delhi AIIMS for better placement'
'we broke up.'
'Today, without the dean's permission'
'we have organized dance, music, dramatics club in the hostel.'
'I couldn't be a good long distance partner.'
'But perhaps in the long run I will be a good vice president.'
'And a good president next year.'
Hi, guys. I am Richa.
Also, please submit your content for the Truth Canal.
Sorry. I am Hot Mess.
I don't submit to anyone.
Hi. I am Vipassana.
What is Truth Canal?
It's a journal for students.
You can publish anything in it.
We are trying to make this hostel more student friendly and inclusive.
Inclusive.
But in the hostel form there are only two gender options.
Male. And female.
Right.
We are trying to change that.
'Last year Zahira won the election'
'and thus set the example of being a good leader.'
'Boys' entry was allowed in the hostel.'
'And hostel's in time was extended from 7 to 8.'
-Hi. -Hi.
Can I get this top?
Sure.
-Can I have a selfie with you? -Sure.
Thank you, Ramya.
Hey! It's Zahira.
'Sadly, Ramya Mantri is still the popular one.'
'Because her dad Mr. Mantri is on the SVM board.'
'And the dean is in the board's pocket.'
'That's why our manifesto's promises have halted like metro's construction.'
'But our efforts are not.'
You can wash and use one cup for 4-5 years.
You will save money and the hostel will collect less waste.
Richa.
I have written an article for Truth Canal.
-Did you read it? -I will read it later.
What is this?
-It... -Show. Show.
-Show. -What secrecy is this?
We are your only friends. At least tell us.
It's none of your business.
Hi. One menstrual cup for me.
Mili, give her a cup.
Mili ma'am.
Just give her a cup.
Call me Mili ma'am. Okay?
Thanks.
Actually, I am gender fluid.
So I go by them and not her.
You go by who?
I go by them.
You go by them. You go with them.
-I don't care. In time. At 8 o'clock. -Mili, stop it.
Is this comfortable?
No. It's not.
But you get used to it.
Just like this hostel.
What?
That's helpful.
Thanks, Jo. Really nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you, Jo.
She saw Jo. But not us.
All the time Jo.
Yes, Jo.
We are also cool seniors. But you steal our thunder.
Mili ma'am.
Listen.
You are a dewdrop.
You have to evaporate in the heat.
You have to condense and turn into a cloud.
You will collide with other clouds.
That's when you will thunder a little.
Mili ma'am. Mili ma'am.
-Your order. -It's arrived.
What is this?
Jo, I am planning burp battle for the juniors.
Tomorrow is bubble wrap battle.
Day after tomorrow fake orgasm battle.
No. Not in my room. Please do it outside.
Jo, please let us have fun sometimes.
All the time, don't touch this, don't touch that.
Don't touch me. Don't touch yourself.
During my breakup you didn't even let Mili cry properly.
Why don't you find another room? Find other friends.
-I am thinking about it. -Thinking about it.
Okay. Listen. Here.
Read it.
Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes around in another form.
Rumi.
-Will you read? -Yes.
Jo, I am also your roomie.
My gift?
-Not roomie. The poet Rumi. -Guys! Guys! Guys!
@hotmess 79K followers is making a dance video with the warden.
And we need background dancers.
-Come on! Come on! -Let's go. Let's go.
-I will keep it here. -Come on.
I want to dance. I cannot do it with the book.
That's our warden.
Come, Mili.
-Come. -She seems fun.
She is in love.
His name is John.
I am tired. It's so hot.
Oh, my God! My followers are going to love this.
Hello. Hello. Hello.
Love. Live. Laugh. Everybody.
I did eeny-meeny-miny-moe and allotted everybody's room.
If you want it as per your choice, come and choose your roomie.
Live amicably and listen to each other.
Come on. Weave new dreams.
Warden, I want to change my room. Otherwise, I will kill this vegetarian.
-Hey! -How did you put your non-vegetarian hand
in my vegetarian pickle?
Like this. Keep your pickle with you and leave from my room.
Ever since boys' entry has been allowed from 10 to 11
her boyfriend comes everyday for a powernap.
Yes. Because he likes the breeze of my fan.
Every fan's breeze is the same.
No. I don't think so.
I think so. You stink.
I want a new roommate.
-Anand, ring the bell. -Smell it. Do I stink?
-Yes. -Anand, ring it.
Wait and watch.
You will be my first roommate.
Don't get attached. You will be my eighth.
You stink? Raise your arms.
It smells nice. I will use your perfume.
Do you snore?
Yes.
Two snorers cannot live in the same room.
Next.
Before we become roommates, I have a few rules.
Yes. I have seen your life. I am a big fan.
What are the rules?
I do not have straighteners, notes, lighters, primers
hair extensions, extension cords
money, time, space, feelings or the content of my reels
to share with anyone who doesn't value the said things
but still comes to borrow them.
If you steal something, but are not a diagnosed kleptomaniac
there is more respect in telling me that you stole my perfume.
Or be an out and crowd about it
and borrow it for an infinite number of days.
Also, if you act basic and cheugy or get insecure about
how I look, let me just tell you, it's not a privilege.
So don't stress me out and do not be a sus.
It takes a whole weekend to restrict people and block DMs.
So yeah. I don't have time to clean.
-Cheugy? -Cheugy?
Okay. Great. I like you.
Found her.
-Are you vegetarian? -Yes.
Show me your ID card.
You are from Bhopal. I am also from Bhopal.
-That's great. -Let's stay together, Vipassana.
Do you know? My room is so good...
What's happening here?
Students are not allowed to form any societies or clubs.
Stop your carnival.
Guards!
-Richa... -Remove all this.
And boys are allowed only from 10 to 11.
So move.
Out.
Everyone out.
Ma'am. Ma'am.
-Ma'am. -Please.
Ma'am, we are the student council. I think it's allowed.
Wow! What a day!
Come. Come. Welcome to Safe Space.
'Safe Space. The biggest reason for Ramya's popularity.'
'Ramya did what Zahira's student council couldn't even imagine.'
'She uprooted the biggest problem of girls' hostel.'
Guys! Please don't judge.
I wrote this set while I was drunk.
So last night I drank a lot of beer
under peer pressure at Ramya's freshers' party.
Anyway. Thanks to Ramya.
Jo broke the tea stall last year. She thrashed so many boys.
But look at Ramya. She has given this place a new look.
It seems like it has got a plastic surgery. Isn't it?
Just like Zahira.
It looks like she has got a nose job done.
But she definitely doesn't get her president's job.
-Love it! -It's not true.
There are more jokes left. I am not done.
As usual, running away.
There are so many promises in the manifesto.
But nobody does anything.
What to do of Truth Canal pamphlets?
Give me.
Guys.
The entire crowd is cheering for Ramya.
Freshers are our fresh vote count. We need them on our side.
If this goes on,
then next year the dean will elect one of her puppets as the president.
Nothing will change.
It would have been better if Zahira had signed the documents.
We would have got 60000 rupees.
Here, student council has to borrow money.
The document is a lie, isn't it?
What difference does it make to us
whether the dean whitewashes the hostel or 15 lakhs?
The fact is, Zahira, to bring change we need change.
Aren't you guys listening? We are not getting any money.
Guys!
-We have got 100 entries in past 2 days. -Yes.
Four students from nursing have decided to perform Lavani dance.
I have also written a play for dramatics.
'Tamasha' from Deepika's prospective. 'Tamashi'.
I have also enrolled in a comedy club.
Wow, Twitter!
I have never seen you standing at one place and talking.
Exactly.
-This means, SVM has got talent. -Yes. That's true.
Let's do a talent show.
-Yes. Yes. Talent. Talent show. -Yes. Yes.
Let's do it. Yes. Let's do it.
Whether career and hostel experience is good or not.
But people should have fun.
And they should have some memories.
Of what student council did for the students.
Guys! You have to work on how you want to achieve your dreams.
Here, it's the question of money.
Why aren't you guys understanding? We don't have money.
Then buy money.
Ramya might be powerful, but she is alone.
She can't do this alone.
But we can.
Because we are a unit.
Zahira, the dean won't agree.
Why will she give us money for a fest? Huh?
Let's bring sponsors.
Sponsors' money control will be in our hand.
Yes. And the dean will take the sponsors' money.
She keeps harping about money. She is greedy for money.
-Exactly. -No. Let's give her a deal.
We will keep half the sponsors' money for student welfare.
And we will give the other half to the dean.
Thus our manifesto will be accomplished. And the dean will also be happy.
What an idea!
It's a great idea. Very good. Very good. It's good.
The dean will definitely agree.
No. And look, now we have agents in our college.
The only deal still on the table is the one Zahira did not sign.
Also, I make future doctors of the nation.
Not drama queens.
Richa.
I used to do makeup and costume of characters in my school plays.
I think we should have a makeup costume club.
There is no club. There is no talent show.
Fine. I will read then.
I was reading about trans exclusory radical feminism.
Mili.
Did you read Jo's article for the Truth Canal?
No.
But somebody has made a sketch of the male reproductive organ.
Isn't the sketch good?
Forget the fest. Let's go to Goa and relax. Okay?
I will call John too.
Good idea.
-But John won't come. -Why?
-Because he is not real. -He is not real. Because he is a dream.
Guys! Did somebody read Jo's article?
'SVM election.'
'The illusion. By Anandi Joshi.'
'A very warm welcome to all the freshers of SVM.'
'I am your fourth year senior Jo.'
'We have always had the culture of ragging.'
'By our college management.'
'If you are from Dental,'
'then the college will also rag you for five years.'
'But you will still have the best time of your life.'
'I can assure you that. Because we are a unit.'
'And Zahira student council represents us.'
'Our student council thought that they can work with our dean.'
'Dr. Sarla Desai.'
'But the elections conducted by her last year'
'were an illusion.'
'Because the truth is that our college's system'
'is to keep the students under an illusion.'
'The illusion of elections.'
'Irrespective of which party wins.'
'But it has to dance to the tunes of SVM votes.'
'The illusion of student welfare.'
'Each need is labeled as demand and rejected.'
'You are heard in the college, but not understood.'
'Even the helpline number is an illusion.'
'When the hostel security illusion broke'
'no action was taken against the boys who trespassed in our college.'
'But I was suspended for a month for damaging the tea stall.'
'We are not rebels.'
'We are just in a system that is constantly working against us.'
'And I have a problem with the system's illusion.'
'The question is'
'why does SVM's dean has a problem with all our efforts'
'to make our campus and hostel life better.'
'The question is, do we accept it or speak out?'
Excuse me.
Ms. Sarla, this shouldn't be happening.
If children start engaging in politics, what will we do?
Do one thing.
Give SMV fest to the kids.
They will be happy.
And our family will also contribute to it.
Yes. Sure.
You are right.
Yes, minister. This is possible.
I grant you the talent show.
I have two conditions.
Zahira Ali and Ramya Mantri will organize the event together.
Agreed?
Zahira, I am sure. You can work with Ramya.
-Ma'am, can we... -Agreed.
Good.
My second condition.
I am banning Truth Canal.
It's okay, ma'am.
It's fine.
You don't have an option.
Now leave.
Thank you.
I just need one excuse to rusticate you from this college.
Your suspension period did not teach you anything.
It sure did, ma'am.
I did a campaign for Pune women's youth political party.
The party is organizing a protest along with student youth.
In case of violence against woman.
-So? -I want to join them.
I need a month.
I will be back for my exams after a month.
You know, you are the only girl who has the guts to
write utter rubbish against SVM
and then come here to ask for one month's leave from me.
Ma'am, if you could suspend me for a month...
This is something that I really want to do.
You know why I dislike you so much?
No, ma'am.
Because you remind me of my daughter.
She also wanted to leave home and live in a hostel.
But I didn't let her.
Because of women like you.
The way you dress up. The way you walk.
What do you think?
By riding a bike like boys.
By doing such nonsensical things.
You think you are different from other girls.
No, ma'am.
I am just the same.
But you don't seem normal.
A normal young girl, who is happy with life.
You have a lot of anger within you.
Concentrate on your studies.
Not on student politics.
Ma'am, there is nothing like student politics.
And politics is in everything.
I think you would know better.
I don't care what you think.
Some practices have been in place for years.
And you can't keep questioning them.
So ma'am, is it solely the education system's task to ask questions.
You know, I am not interested in your arguments.
Either you take this thing up or you keep your degree.
Make a choice.
Stop wasting my time. And leave.
What did the dean say?
She won't agree.
She has told me to choose.
Actually, no. She has ordered me to choose.
You have to choose.
I didn't sign that document. I made my choice.
What do you think?
What should I do?
I don't know.
Do what makes you sleep at night.
If I stay, I will feel stuck.
And if I go,
I will lose my degree and my friends.
Friends.
Richa and Mili.
Then stay.
Put some chutney. Why are you eating it dry?
What is this?
Look. Who do we have here?
SVM's Hira and Zahira.
This cafe is actually nice. Good job.
Thank you.
You have utilized your father's money nicely.
The same father told the dean to give you the talent show.
You are busy with that.
When is our talent show?
