Who is it? I'm busy!
[Fatima] 'Sir, your son is here.'
Sir, I'll call you later.
Come.
Hi, Dad.
You can go.
Did you have a half day today?
No.
I got into a scuffle with some boys.
So, the principal suspended me for three days.
Suspend?
Has there been a single day...
...when you've not caused us any trouble?
My psychology teacher says that my parents' divorce...
...is probably the reason for my behaviour...
...especially, because I was only 11 months old.
Yes, Seema? Tell me.
Raghav, can you leave from office a little early today?
Why?
My mom is here.
Her friend, Sheetal auntie, knows a very good lawyer.
So, she was asking us to meet him once.
Did she tell her friend everything?
No, no. She did not tell her anything, Raghav.
She was just suggesting that we should go and meet him once.
Seema, I don't think that we...
[Seema] 'Raghav, I've spoken to him.'
He has given us an appointment for 3:30 PM.
Seema, I don't know if we should do this...
Raghav...
...I messed up.
Give me a chance to fix it.
Okay.
Send me the address, I will meet you there. Okay?
Okay.
Mom, please calm down.
Sunny doesn't know that you know everything.
[Seema] 'Please.'
[Title Montage]
[Judge] 'Number ten, seven, sixteen, eighteen'...
...twenty-five, one, twenty-one...
...and... what have I written here... Number four.
[Judge] 'Please step forward.'
You guys have not been selected.
[Judge] 'You can leave.'
I figured you would need this.
You mean you were sure that I'd get rejected?
Obviously.
You are not meant to play such petty roles.
Shreya, you are meant to do lead roles.
Only you seem to think so.
Isn't that enough?
But this won't do the trick.
I need a lot more carbs today.
Let's go to our den, then. Which pizza would you like to have?
[Shreya] 'Four cheese with two cold coffees.'
- [Kunal] 'Two?' - [Shreya] 'Obviously.'
I'm heading out for a bit.
Where?
To visit Kavita auntie. She is unwell.
I'll be back soon.
Grandma is home.
Bye.
Come on, I'll drop you home.
What will you tell mom?
No need to say anything to her.
You come here for the next three days and sit with me.
[Raghav] 'Okay?'
Can I watch movies here?
Come on now.
Easy, dude.
This attitude won't work with me. Come on.
- Fatima. - [Fatima] 'Yes, sir.'
I am going out for some important work.
- Call me if anything comes up. - Sure.
- Ajay. - [cell phone vibrating]
[Fatima] 'Get the housekeeping in here.'
'Get that thing cleaned up. Near the column.'
Hello.
You were supposed to call me back.
I'll speak to you later.
Yeah, anyway, I'd prefer to discuss this in person.
Let's catch up in the evening.
[Irfan] 'Versova, Amara Magic Beans Cafe?'
Okay.
[Neelima] 'Sunny?'
- Do you want something to eat? - No.
- Do you want something to drink? - No!
[Shreya] 'I actually wanted to start yoga.'
Thank you.
I have to, but I don't have the time for it.
Sorry.
Yash had come to my office. I had to drop him off at home.
Why did he come to your office?
He has been suspended from school for three days.
- Let's go, we are getting late. - Come on.
[Debashish] 'You asked me in your inquiry'...
...about your chances of winning the sexual assault case...
...against the well-known Bollywood actor/producer...
...Right?
Yes.
The chances are the same as your bank balance.
And what if we arrange for the money?
You have come for a free consultation.
How will you arrange lakhs of rupees?
Anyway, in such cases...
...contacts, power, pressure, image...
...play a vital role.
Only your mom could find such a lawyer.
How will you help us when you are not even ready to listen to us?
I am trying to help you, Mr. Vashisht.
Your son is only 15 years old.
[Debashish] 'But the defence doesn't care about this.'
They will summon your son for every hearing...
...make him stand in the court...
...and will try to prove that he is a liar.
[Debashish] 'Society, media, your acquaintances'...
...'his classmates, and everyone else's eyes would be on him.'
God forbid, if you lose the case...
[Debashish] ...'then I can't imagine what it will do'...
...'to your son's mental state.'
Anyway, no one talks about male sexual assaults in our society.
[Debashish] 'Let alone filing a case and winning it.'
If you still think that the truth is enough...
...then I am ready to file the case.
Give it some thought.
[cell phone vibrating]
[Shreya] 'I'm ready. Call me once you leave, okay?'
Okay.
- Sunny. - Hmm?
You never told me about your 'post pack-up' fun.
What do you mean?
I mean, I don't think you just worked in Sri Lanka.
- After pack-up, did you try anything... - Quiet.
With grandma there?
Grandma can't stay awake after 10:00 PM.
[Shreya] 'It must have been like an open field for you, right?'
Didn't you try any R-rated things?
[Neelima] 'Shreya.'
What nonsense is this?
Grandma, you are very innocent.
[Shreya] 'You don't know what happens on shoots.'
Nothing happened, okay? Nothing.
You are reacting as if something definitely did happen.
Is this the same thing that mom and dad...
...were asking you not to tell me?
Come on, tell me! What have you done...
Hey, di!
You have lost the plot! Nothing happened!
Why are you screaming?
- Why are you hounding me then? - You both need to calm down.
Hey, you stay out of this!
Sunny, don't be rude to grandma.
Then why are you badgering me? I told you nothing happened.
I have to say that this is looking like an ideal case...
...of guilty conscience.
- Shut your bloody mouth, di! - [Shreya] 'Sunny!'
[Neelima] 'Shreya, Sunny, please keep quiet. Enough!'
What happened? Why are you both fighting?
[Seema] 'Sunny?'
Sunny! Son!
Shreya, why are you always starting fights?
Do you even know what happened?
Or like every time...
...did you assume that it is my fault?
Shreya.
Of course, your son is a famous star now.
He can get away with even murder.
- Shreya. - Excuse me.
What...
Sunny!
Sunny, what happened?
Nothing.
Something must've happened...
- You both fought... - I said, nothing happened!
And even if something did happen, what can you even do?
Please leave me alone.
Namaste.
What would you like to have? Tea or coffee?
No, thank you.
I am fasting today...
...so I'll only take the rent.
Mr. Dubey, the rent...
Before you start with your excuses...
...I want to tell you that I'm aware of yesterday's party.
[Dubey] 'I even know'...
...that the cost of the cake alone was 3,500 rupees.
Anyway, days of excuses are over now.
Your son has signed such a big film.
And I heard that there is going to be a sequel as well.
Mr. Dubey, what would it take you to mind your own business?
Rent.
The rent... Come with me to the ATM, I'll give it to you.
Mummy ji, let it be.
It's okay, son, we're all family.
Come with me.
Mummyji, we need to pay Rs. 80,000.
Please sit.
Mr. Dubey, give me a week's time.
I will pay your rent by next Wednesday.
Okay.
But please don't break your promise this time.
Okay.
You may not be ashamed of asking for time repeatedly...
...but I feel embarrassed asking for my rent repeatedly!
Hope you understand.
Yes.
I will take your leave.
Goodbye.
Sunny.
Sorry.
I'm also sorry, di.
Are you okay?
Good night, di.
Good night.
[all] '♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪'
'♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪'
'♪ Happy birthday, dear Tanya ♪'
'♪ Happy birthday to you! ♪'
- [Woman 1] 'Cheers!' - [All] Cheers.
[Woman 2] 'What can I gift you?'
[Waiter] 'Ma'am.'
Would you like to place your order now?
Water.
Okay.
[Tanya] Cheers!
[laughing]
[Woman 3] 'Cheers.'
[Woman 4] 'Any special wishes this year?'
You know, once my Juhu house gets renovated...
...I'll be happy.
That's really all I want.
It's taking too much time.
Excuse me.
Yes?
I'm Shaurya Vashisht's mother.
Shaurya Vashisht?
He was your husband's co-star on Superdad.
Oh!
Vikram praises your son a lot.
He says, "He is a star in the making."
Can I talk to you in private for a few minutes?
Please.
Are you out of your mind?
If there is one actor in this industry...
...with a spotless reputation, it is Vikram.
He has never even been linked with any of his heroines.
[Tanya] 'And you'...
He is not interested in his heroines, Which is why he has never been linked to them.
His interests lie elsewhere.
Just shut up!
If this is your attempt to blackmail us for money...
...then let me tell you, it's not going to work.
Why do you rich people always feel...
...that whatever we do is for the sake of money?
You are a mother too, right?
Ask yourself.
No matter how much you benefit from it...
...would you let this to happen to your son?
What exactly did your son say to you?
That he was...raped?
No.
Did Vikram touch him inappropriately?
No.
Then what are you trying to say, Mrs. Vashisht?
He...
...he took Sunny's hand...
Here, watch this video.
[Sunny] 'One second.'
[Vikram] 'Hey, champ.'
I'm sure this will be the...
... best birthday of your life Tanyaji.
Happy birthday!
Cut it!
- Well done! High-five! - Thank you.
- Yeah. - Well done.
Hey, birthday girl!
I am the one who is supposed to give you a surprise.
And you didn't disappoint.
You...
I... can explain.
This is what I always feared.
Like father like son.
He is never where he says he is.
Well, your teacher had called me.
Now that you have been suspended from college for three days...
...do not come back home.
Do something, go to Chawla auntie's house...
...take the key, take your stuff, and leave.
The pleasure is all mine.
Really? Then why don't you shift for good?
I'm sure your dad will be very happy with that.
Am I right, Raghav?
Actually...
No matter what your father says...
...his eyes never lie.
Meghna...
Meghna, listen to me. Meghna...
[Raghav] 'Please listen to me, Meghna.'
'Please listen to me, Meghna.'
Meghna, I can't take Yash to my house this time.
I'm not asking you, Raghav.
Meghna, the situation at home...
There's an issue. Please try to understand.
Do you remember what your reason for ending our marriage was?
That we don't understand each other.
Why would I understand you now when I didn't understand you then?
Manage him.
Meghna.
[Irfan] 'Mr. Vashisht.'
Irfan Akhtar. From Truth Serum.
You were not answering my calls...
...so I thought I'd meet you in person.
If someone is not taking your calls...
...then you should understand...
...that they are not interested in talking to you.
Which actor were you talking about that day?
Vikram Bajaj?
I don't know what you are talking about.
I am talking about the story...
...that you called me about that day?
You son is also working with him, right?
What heinous act did Vikram Bajaj commit?
The show is about to start. Hope you have bought a ticket.
Go and watch the movie.
The only stories you will find here...
...are the one in the movies.
Mr. Vashisht!
[Kavita] 'Please cut her some slack, ma'am.'
Seven clients have cancelled appointments in the last two days...
...because Seema was not available.
Didn't you tell them that Seema...
...doesn't care about this cheap job?
She wants to be that... What do they call it...
Star mom!
Then she will open her salon in front of mine...
...and will steal all my clients in a jiffy.
I apologise for whatever I said.
Please hire me again.
My family is under massive financial duress.
[cell phone vibrating]
Yes, Seema.
Listen, I got my job back.
That's great, that's great.
- Okay. - [Seema] 'One more thing.'
What is it?
I will tell you when I see you.
Well, I too want to tell you something.
[Seema] 'What is it?'
I'll tell you in the evening.
- [Raghav] 'Bye.' - Okay.
Go and keep your bag in Shreya and Sunny's room.
Hey, Yash bhaiya, what brings you here?
You always complain that I don't come for sleepovers, right?
So, here I am.
Till when is he going to stay here?
A few days.
Why? Where is his mother?
She has gone out of town for some work.
So?
He is 17 years old, can't he stay alone?
[cell phone vibrating]
Pass me my phone, Shreya.
Hello.
Seemaji, namaste.
I'm Deepali Guha, the Associate Producer of Superdad.
[Deepali] 'Vikram sir's team wants to meet you tomorrow.'
He told us not to tell anyone.
I know.
What did you gain from this?
Maybe, nothing.
But let them also be restless.
Let there be rifts in their relationships too.
Let there be despair in their home too.
Raghav...
Raghav.
Shall we?
This way.
Good morning.
Please, sit.
Would you like some tea or coffee?
- No. - Thank you.
Let's begin. Ms. Guha, my first question is to you.
You have been working with Mr. Bajaj for almost ten years now.
- Am I right? - Right.
In these ten years, has he coerced...
...or misbehaved with anyone?
[Brijesh] 'Or failed to take care of the cast and crew members'...
...'or hasn't released payments on time?'
- Anything of that sort? - Not at all.
And if I'm not mistaken...
...you were also present on the sets of Superdad, right?
Yes.
So did Shaurya Vashisht confide in you...
...about anything that happened to him, during the filming?
No.
At the outdoor shoot in Sri Lanka, did the boy seem a little lost...
...or uncomfortable, little out of sorts, anything like that?
No, nothing like that.
Okay.
So, Mrs. Vashisht, Ms. Guha told us...
...that you showed a video to Mrs. Bajaj.
Can we see that video, please?
Thank you.
[Sunny] 'I don't like it.'
[Vikram] 'Eventually, you will start liking it.'
'Don't worry'
[Sunny] 'But I don't want to.'
[Vikram] 'Oh, yeah, Sunny. Yeah.'
[Lin] 'Hello, ma'am.'
Can I get you anything?
- Thank you. - Okay.
- Excuse me. - Yes, ma'am.
How long have you been working here?
Almost two and a half years.
Is it a good place to work?
Yes, it is a very nice place.
The people here, their work ethic...
[Lin] ...'the work culture, they are the best, ma'am.'
Okay.
Excuse me, ma'am.
[Man 1] 'Sir, look, here is the file.'
[Deepali] 'Play it again.'
[Brijesh] 'Are you sure?'
[Deepali] 'What do you mean circumstantial?'
- [Brijesh] 'It is'... - [Lin] 'Sir.'
You can go in.
Okay.
Who else besides you two...
...knows about this video and your son's allegations?
It's not an allegation.
Well, everything is an allegation, Mr. Vashisht...
...unless, of course, it is proven otherwise in a court of law.
Who else knows besides you two?
The two of us and Mrs. Bajaj.
Are you sure?
- Nobody else... - Nobody else knows.
Around 850 people worked on this film...
[Brijesh] ...'and your son is an important part of it'
It is his debut film, and if you look at the reports...
...he's a bona fide superstar of the future.
[Brijesh] 'In such a case, any kind of negative publicity'...
...'will definitely have an impact on the film'...
...but at the same time, your son's bright career...
...will also be affected.
And what if we don't care about his career?
Despite of that, what you want is impossible.
Because the fact of the matter is that this video shows nothing!
What?
We can only see Mr. Bajaj entering the vanity van...
...and Sunny ending the video.
Apart from that, there are no visuals to substantiate your...
Are you all deaf?
Can't you hear what's going on in the video?
What happens next should not be...
...construed as an admission of guilt...
...but intended to avoid litigation and bring about peace.
This is a non-disclosure agreement.
You will sign it and promise that you will not only delete...
...this video from Sunny's mobile and every secondary device...
...but also never talk to anyone about this.
Are you trying to shut us up?
Are you out of your mind?
Tell us, what action are you going to take against your boss?
Where is he?
Doesn't he have the guts to confront us?
[Raghav] 'He is making his hired hands face us, instead. .'
Where is he?
Mr. Vashisht, the sum offered only stands for the next five minutes.
Think of it as a bonus from the producer...
...for a fantastic performance from Sunny.
[Brijesh] 'Ten crores. Think about it.'
[Theme music playing]
