Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am,
they'll be with you shortly.
Alright. Okay.
Noor, listen.
Yes, sir?
You need to go to Mrs. Shalini's place.
You're doing her full body wax,
hair color,
and a beauty facial.
Okay, sir.
Tell Nitesh. He'll drop you.
Okay, sir.
Nitesh?
Sir said you have to drop me at the customer's house,
and I'm ready.
At your service, ma'am.
I'll drop you wherever you say.
How about into a ditch?
What?
My foot!
How many times have I told you not to mess with me?
Can I tell you something?
You know, when you're angry,
you look even more beautiful.
Are you taking me, or should I go to the boss?
No, no, ma'am.
All this anger isn't good for your health.
I'll take you.
Well, are you or not? Because I'm leaving.
I'll take you, I'll take you. Go on, I'm coming.
Hurry up.
Noor, listen.
30.
You have another client to get to. Got it?
Okay, sir.
Be back soon.
Here, sweetie, have another one.
No, Mom. I'm full, I don't feel like it.
Honey, if you don't eat, how are you going to become an IPS officer?
To pass all those exams, your mind and your body
have to be in top shape.
And that kind of health only comes from home-cooked food.
Sweetie, just have one more.
Mom, Dad,
you two are going to make me fat.
I'm just worried that when you go to Chandigarh,
you'll only eat out.
I'd rather you just stay here to prepare
for your exam.
What's the need to go so far away?
See, Dad?
How am I supposed to become an IPS officer like this?
Oh, honestly.
I served on the border for years.
She's just going to Chandigarh.
It's only two hours away.
Just give me a ring anytime,
and I'll be there.
Right, sweetheart? Of course.
The winner of the CU Fashion Show is...
Miss...
Jia!
Jia, sweetie...
You know your dad doesn't approve of all this.
When you get to Chandigarh, you need to focus...
...only on your studies, sweetie.
You have to make your father's dream come true.
Stay away from modeling and social media.
And one more thing, don't you forget it.
Our family's reputation is in your hands, child.
Yes, Mom.
Noor... I'm heading home.
What's wrong? Is everything okay?
My mom's not well. I'm going to go check on her.
What happened?
I'm thinking of bringing her here.
I can get her checked out at PGI.
That's a good idea.
Alright then.
You travel safe, and take care of Aunty.
Okay.
Aunty was saying...
...a new girl is supposed to be moving in here.
Oh, that's great.
Plus, our rent will go down, too.
That's true,
but what if she's not as easygoing as us?
So what if she isn't?
If she's not like us, we'll bring her around.
You can be the one to do that.
Fine, I will.
Alright, fine.
Okay then. Bye. Bye.
Mom...
How many times have I told you, please take care of yourself.
What can I do... this illness just won't leave me alone.
Sis...
I'm thinking of taking the non-medical stream next year.
Go for it, dear.
But sis,
I'll need tutoring for that, and the fees are so expensive.
You just focus on your studies.
I'll handle the fees.
Rupi dear, your job is such a huge help to us.
The expense of your mother's medicine,
the school fees for these two,
their little dreams... I don't think I can manage it all on my own.
Rupi, you're not a daughter to me, you're my son.
You've shouldered half of the responsibility.
Dad, why are you talking like that?
You educated me, made me capable of this.
If I don't do it, who will?
I'm so proud of you, dear. So proud.
I'll always be here for you, Dad.
Dad, I have to leave early in the morning.
Can you drop me at the bus stand?
Of course, dear. I'll drop you off.
Okay.
Alright Mom, I'm off now.
Okay, dear.
Make sure you eat properly.
I will.
And yeah, try not to eat out too much.
Don't you worry.
Alright Dad, I'm heading out.
Look, dear, we're sending you there to study.
I know.
Just focus on your studies. Okay?
Okay, Dad.
Bye.
God bless you.
Bye.
Yes, yes, of course.
No, no, it's no trouble, man. Don't worry about it.
The girl is here with me now.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, it's fine, no problem. Okay.
Alright then, young lady,
this is your home now.
Okay? Rupi's in this room, and that one's Noor's.
This is your room.
And one more thing, listen up.
I like to keep this place tidy.
I don't want any messes in the house, alright?
And if you need anything, just give me a call.
Got it?
Thank you.
Hello.
Hi.
Put it on properly.
That's what I'm trying to do!
So, what is it you do?
Don't call me that.
We're both the same age as you.
I'm Rupi, and she's Noor.
Okay, fine, didi.
'Didi' again?
Anyway, you never told us what you do.
Well, I wanted to do something else, but for now...
I'm working at a salon.
And I did a course in fashion design, but my...
...dream is to open my own boutique.
Wow!
But for now, I'm working at a café.
Okay.
You know all about us now.
So, what about you?
I came here to fulfill my dad's dream.
He wants me to clear the UPSC exams...
...and become an IPS officer.
Whoa!
UPSC?
So, what does UPSC stand for, anyway?
Uhh...
You told us your dad's dream.
What do *you* want to be?
Me?
I... a model.
Wow, a model.
Nice.
Very nice.
Hello, Mr. Walia.
How are you doing?
I'm doing very well, bhaji.
You tell me, how's business?
That's why I called you, Walia.
The police are really cracking down.
Because of that, our last two big...
...assignments were compromised.
What if we found a girl to make the deliveries?
Not a bad idea, bhaji.
Alright, we'll find the right girl.
Please, handle this quickly.
Okay, I'll let you know soon.
Go ahead and check the order.
Noor.
Hmm?
Sir said if any product from the makeup kit is running low,
you need to make a list of it.
Okay.
Give me five minutes, I'll check.
And Noor, there's something I told you.
Have you done anything about it?
About what?
Look,
you've been working at this salon for two years, and you never know when hard times might hit.
Have you put any savings aside?
No.
Besides, Nitesh,
you know what my situation is like at home.
I can barely keep my head above water.
I know, but you should still try to put some money aside for yourself.
You never know when you'll need it.
Nitesh, come here a sec, there's a customer.
Coming, sir. Alright, I'll go see the customer,
and you think about what I said.
Okay.
Coming, sir!
What happened?
What's this?
Roti.
Noor!
Come here, quick! I have to show you something.
What is it?
Look at this!
The map of 3B2.
What is this?
I was hungry and I...
...don't know how to make roti.
Tell you what.
You just sit down, we'll feed you.
If we keep eating rotis like these,
our stomachs will end up looking like a map one day.
I don't know how, so what am I supposed to do?
He can't make a roti!
Oh my God!
You've never made one before? -Never.
Go on. Go. We'll make them.
Come on, move aside.
Sit down.
Go on, go and sit.
We'll do it.
I'll watch.
Oh, hi.
Dinesh.
Hi.
It's been so long.
So, what can I get for you today?
Actually, I wanted to get a haircut and...
...a head massage.
Okay, wait a second. Nitesh!
Hello Jia, where are you?
I'm standing right outside the coaching center.
Uh...
Look straight ahead, Jia.
Over here. -Yeah.
Oh yes, I see you.
Hello. -How are you, Jia?
I'm good, you? -All good.
Jia,
as beautiful as you look in your Reels,
you're even more beautiful in person.
Thank you.
So...?
Um...
Could you introduce me to a director?
Of course.
I already sent your profile. We should get a time slot in a day or two,
and then I'll take you.
Okay.
And just you watch,
you're going to be the biggest actress after Sonam Bajwa.
Thank you.
Can I drop you home?
Uh... no, no. I'll... I'll manage on my own.
Okay.
Good evening, sir.
Good evening, sir. What can I get for you?
Sir, what can I get for you?
A protein shake, please.
Anything else, sir?
No, just this for now. Thank you.
Hm?
Rupi?
She's not saying anything.
Ustad ji?
Where are you lost?
Nowhere.
There's definitely something on your mind.
Jia?
Looks like our girl's fallen in love.
Something's fishy here.
Don't you two have anything better to do?
Just sit around idle all day thinking up this stuff.
Have a seat, Jiya.
Hello, sir.
Jiya, I want you to meet someone.
He's a very good friend of mine, and also a big-time director.
And he'll make all your dreams come true.
Hello, sir.
Hmm.
Jiya. Right?
Yes.
I got your profile.
You've got a nice profile.
Thank you.
But look, Jiya,
everyone dreams of making it big.
Just like how you want to become a huge star.
We're going to make you...
...the biggest actress in the Punjabi industry.
You know,
you have everything it takes to be a big star.
But, Jiya,
you have to start with small roles.
Once the audience takes notice of you,
after that, your face will be on posters all over the city.
Let's plan a photoshoot with you, Jiya.
Sure... sure, sir.
Hello, Rupi.
Hello.
Are you following me?
What can I say?
It's the nature of the job.
You have to follow people around.
Okay, sir.
Oh, come on... 'sir' again?
My friends call me Sidhu, but you can call me...
Joban.
Okay, Joban.
It's time for my shift. I'll see you later.
Oh... yeah, sure. I was just leaving too.
Got it? - Yes, sir.
I'll go check on it.
Listen, Rupi.
Yes, sir?
I'm going out of town for a couple of days. - Okay.
Look after the café while I'm away.
- Yes, of course.
And one more thing.
Hey, hello! Where'd you drift off to?
Oh, yes sir. Yes.
Got it?
Got it.
Alright, let's move.
Hi, what can I get for you?
Two lattes, please.
Okay.
Thank you.
Here's your order.
This order isn't just for me.
What do you mean?
I mean,
one of these two coffees is for you.
For me? Why?
Just because.
I just didn't feel like drinking coffee alone today.
I wanted to have it with you.
Joban!
Besides, there's something important I need to talk to you about, and it can only be done over coffee.
But Joban, I'm on duty.
Please, Rupi. Just for a little while.
Please.
Okay.
Thank you.
Uh... your coffee.
I'll just... I'll just put this aside.
Cheers.
So, what was this important thing you wanted to talk about?
I wanted to say that your eyes...
...are very beautiful.
Okay.
That's the important thing you wanted to say?
No, look...
There are a lot of important things, but I don't know how to say them.
So, Joban.
Can we talk about this another time?
Outside the cafe?
Right. Okay. Fine.
Here you go, Aunty. This month's rent.
So, girls...
You're not having any trouble here, are you?
No, Aunty. With you around, what trouble could we have?
Rupi,
make sure you fix my suit quickly.
Don't worry, Aunty. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Alright, then.
Okay sir, done. Okay, I'm ready. Okay.
Noor... Uh, yes sir?
That customer from two days ago, Vinay Gupta?
- Yes.
He's asked for you at his home...
...for a home service call.
Okay.
- I'm sending you the location.
Be there in half an hour.
Oh, Noor.
Hello, sir.
Come in, come in. Welcome.
Thank you, sir.
By the way, you have a beautiful home.
Thank you.
I keep this flat for myself.
My family lives in Delhi,
I handle the business in Chandigarh, and Dad handles the one in Delhi.
Great.
So, shall we start the massage?
Yeah, sure.
Man, my shoulders are really sore too.
You know, can I say something?
Yes, sir.
You really have magic hands.
Thank you, sir.
I mean,
I didn't even feel this relaxed at your salon.
Thank you, sir.
Give me, give me good poses, Jia. Good poses.
No, no, no, Jia.
Just let go completely.
Think of the camera as your friend.
I need that attitude, confidence, flair.
Yes, sir.
Sure? Okay. Let's do it.
Good.
Good, come on.
Good.
More attitude. Come on.
Turn around, turn around.
Good.
Right profile.
Yeah,
Hold it there, Hold it there.
Good.
Listen.
Yes?
Demand for the product is way up in the market, and
we're short on people.
We have to figure something out. Okay?
So we can get these deliveries out.
Go see who that is.
Sir, sir.
Sir, I didn't see anything.
I won't tell anyone.
Relax, Roopi, relax.
Why are you so scared?
I have an offer for you.
Here, take the product.
I'll give you the address, and you deliver it.
And I'm not asking you to do this for free.
There's good money in it for you.
But, Didi,
they'll need tutoring for that, and the fees are so high.
Your mom's medicine,
the school fees for these two,
their little dreams...
I don't think I can handle it all by myself.
Hello?
Sir, sir, there's a checkpoint.
The police are here. What do I do now?
Roopi, you know what you're carrying.
They don't know that.
Don't panic.
Just ride your scooter right past them.
Nothing will happen.
Don't worry about it.
Okay.
Sat Sri Akal, sir.
Welcome, welcome. Have a seat.
Roopi, right?
Don't be nervous,
don't be nervous.
I spoke with Mukesh,
he told me about you.
Sir... Wow!
Hmm, perfect.
Here's your money.
But sir, this doesn't feel right.
Forget about right and wrong.
You used to work so hard before,
have you ever seen this much money at once?
Uh-uh.
That's why you should just work hard and do your job honestly,
and earn as much money as you can,
okay?
Alright sir, I'll be on my way.
And one more thing,
in this business, keep your eyes open
and your mouth shut.
Yes.
See you.
Have a nice night, enjoy yourself.
Hmm, this is gonna be fun.
Ugh.
Hello?
Hello, Dad.
Didi?
Hey, it's you? What's wrong? Is everything alright?
Didi, I needed to tell you something.
I haven't paid my school fees yet.
And the teacher said,
if I don't pay it, she won't let me take the exam.
Don't you worry, I'll figure something out.
Okay, bye.
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, ma'am.
Could you trim it a little on the right side,
make it look good.
Just so it's balanced on both sides, you get me?
Alright?
- Okay. -Right.
You wanted another cut, right?
- Okay, okay. Yes, that's right.
Hello?
- Hello? Hi.
Yes, Vinay?
Actually, I'm just outside your salon...
I'm standing right here.
Come on out, let's go shopping.
I'm actually working right now.
Can we go some other day?
Oh, come on.
I'm going to be super busy after tomorrow.
Please? Let's just go today.
It won't take long.
Okay, let me arrange something. -Awesome.
Nitesh.
Hey, listen.
Could you please handle the customers today?
I have to go, it's an emergency.
Alright.
Thank you.
Excuse me, sir.
- Yes.
Actually, I'm not feeling well.
Could I step out and get some medicine? Please.
Sure, just be quick about it.
Okay, thank you, sir.
Jiya, have some.
No sir, I don't drink.
Jiya, there are a lot of talented people out there.
But opportunities only go to those who...
...are flexible.
Flexible?
It means understanding the situation,
keeping people happy, and saying yes to opportunities.
Jiya. Just one. Have it.
Come on, Jiya. Be a good girl. Have it.
Come on.
- Sir... but just a little bit.
- Yeah, sure. Have it.
Have it, have it, have it.
It's so bitter.
I know. It's like that for everyone their first time.
It's alright. Drink up.
Come on.
Jiya.
So, how was it?
My head is spinning.
Sir, this isn't right.
Jia.
The industry isn't a school. It's about survival.
There's no 'no' in survival.
If you want to become a big actress, this...
...is part of the package.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Give me a hand.
Come on, give me a hand, Jia.
I guess that whiskey didn't agree with you.
You've gotten so serious.
What's wrong?
Vinay, you wouldn't understand.
Only someone can understand...
...who has to support their family.
How am I supposed to know if you don't tell me?
Actually...
It's really hard to get by on my salary.
Like, the house rent,
groceries,
and then there are the medical bills.
Don't worry.
Just tell me, how much money do you need?
Tell me.
Okay, okay, finish your drink.
Noor, as long as I'm here...
...you don't have to worry about a thing.
I'm here, right? I'll take care of everything.
Hey, madam.
Here, take your tea.
Thank you.
Just stay glued to your phone all day.
Well, look at this!
So much money.
Yeah, man, my salary came in.
You're the only one who got paid?
Take a look.
I got paid too.
Uh, hello?
I landed a great project, too.
And they paid me online.
Wow, guys, all three of us got paid!
Hey, I have an idea. Should we go shopping?
Yeah! Let's go, let's go!
Yeah. Let's go.
Sir.
Their flat is just over there, sir. Just give me the go-ahead.
I'll clean up this whole mess within a week, sir.
Sir, they've ruined the peace in Punjab.
It's just this handful of men.
Sir.
Don't worry, sir.
Okay, sir. Understood. Jai Hind, sir.
Joban.
Starting tomorrow, you two...
...you and Manjinder will be on patrol.
I want you to be extra vigilant with your checks.
Don't lay a finger on anyone without proof.
Okay, sir.
Alright, let's move.
Jia, I've got another surprise for you.
Guess what.
What?
We're going to shoot a music video.
And the singer I showed your photo to...
...he said he has to have you as the model, and money is no object.
Really?
Mhm.
Jia, this song is going to be a game-changer for you.
The camera's gonna love you.
Your name will be on everyone's lips.
Jia, Jia, Jia.
Sir, I don't want to be just a model.
I want to be a big actress.
And the lead, at that.
Very good.
That's the confidence and attitude I was looking for.
You just wait and see, Jia.
I'm not just gonna leave you here.
I won't leave you hanging.
I'll make you the biggest superstar of the Punjabi industry.
I'll make you.
Thank you.
See, Jia?
I told you, right?
That whoever I introduce you to would be the best in the business.
And you know,
people don't get opportunities this fast.
But Jia, one thing...
When you make it big, don't forget about us.
No, sir, that could never happen.
Don't you worry, sir.
Jia will never turn her back on us.
You sure?
For sure.
Rupi, I talked to my parents.
Hmm?
Really?
Mm-hm.
I figured, if we're both happy,
then what problem could they have?
And what did they say?
They said if their son is happy,
then they're happy too.
So now the ball's in your court.
No, sir, the ball is entirely in your court.
Vinay? Can I talk to you about something?
Just one thing? You can tell me anything.
Will your family agree to our marriage?
Of course. I mean, why wouldn't they?
You're such a beautiful girl.
Because you're from a royal family.
You belong...
And I...
Noor, in this life, I have everything.
Everything.
Except for you.
And all I need is you.
Okay?
Ah, Rupi.
I'm very pleased with you.
I was just talking to Mukesh,
and you're really doing a great job.
I appreciate your hard work.
It's okay, sir.
It's just one drink. Please, have it.
You must be tired.
In my line of work, many people come,
and many go.
But I... I've always been alone.
But ever since I saw you,
it feels like...
God sent you just for me.
I want you to always be with me.
Sir, sir.
I'm not comfortable.
Sorry, please.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean anything by it. I am very sorry.
What have I done?
Once again, I'm very sorry, Rupi.
I'm very sorry.
Okay, sir. I should get going.
This late at night?
You should stay here.
No, sir. My friends will be waiting.
Don't be formal.
I had this rest house built just for you.
It was built for guests like you. Please.
Sir, I appreciate your support, but I have to go.
Okay.
You want to leave? Then please, go ahead.
Thank you, sir.
Bye.
Rupi, baby.
There's always a next time.
And I'll be waiting for it.
Rupi?
What are you doing here at this hour?
I was making a delivery.
A delivery? This late?
You know this road isn't safe, right?
Nobody even comes here during the day,
and you're out wandering around at night?
Forget about me. What happened to the scooter?
I got a flat tire.
Don't worry, get in the car.
I'll drop you home.
We'll sort out the scooter. Just get in the car.
Don't worry about the scooter.
Do you have any idea what kind of area this is?
You shouldn't be here at night.
Harpal.
Send someone over from the station.
Have them take this scooter to her house.
Jiya.
Yeah?
Hey, how much longer for the tea?
It's almost ready, two minutes.
Hurry up.
Rupi?
What's wrong? Why are you so sad?
My heart's just not in my work these days.
I feel like quitting.
But you get paid so well.
So why quit?
Well, I'm thinking I should focus...
...on my designing.
I want to do something I'm passionate about.
Yeah, that's fair.
But until you can open your boutique, you still need an income source, right?
Anyway, let's drop it.
Let me tell you something interesting.
Hmm?
So, I have a song shoot...
...starting in a few days.
And guess what?
What?
And they're paying me...
...exactly what I asked for.
That's great. Congratulations.
Thank you.
At this rate, our Jiya will become...
...the highest-paid model in the industry.
You know it.
The tea's getting cold.
Let's do one more take.
Alright, roll sound.
Rolling, sir.
Camera rolling.
Rolling.
Action.
I dance along, right by your side,
I laugh along, my joy I can't hide.
Cut, cut.
Bro, your body language is way too stiff.
And when we're doing a romantic sequence,
your body language has to be really fluid,
you know, like it has a flow.
Look, just listen to the song.
Let's go for another take.
Action.
I dance along, right by your side,
I laugh along, my joy I can't hide.
What are you doing, man?
I just explained this to you.
Even I could do a better job than this.
I dance along, right by your side,
I laugh along, my joy I can't hide.
I dance along, right by your side,
I laugh along, my joy I can't hide.
We're not two, we are one; you've won me over. Not two, we are one; you've won me over. I trust you more than God, my darling. Truly, this much...
...is how much I love you, my darling. Truly, this much...
I'm feeling the exact same way, girl.
A moment without you feels like a year.
I'm feeling the exact same way, girl.
A moment without you feels like a year.
You always stay closer to me than my own breath.
Closer than my own breath, you always stay with me.
May God never take you from me in my sleep, my love.
Truly, our...
My love for you is true, my darling... truly my...
My love for you is true...
My darling, my love is true...
My love, I swear it's you I love... I swear, I love you so much, my love... I swear... Cut it...
Cut it.
That's good for me. Good for me.
Cut it.
That was a good take.
So... uh, pack up.
Ganpati Bappa...
Morya! Mangal Murti...
Morya! Good, good.
Great take. It was really good.
Why can't I remember anything?
No, sir. I can't drink any more.
Come on, come on, come on... Drink up, drink up...
Drink up, drink up, drink up.
Down it, down it, down it.
Good girl.
One more.
No, no, sir. That's enough.
No. No, no.
Look what a beautiful shoot we had.
Come on. Just one last one.
You can handle it. One more.
Good girl. Very good.
Very good.
Alright, Jiya. Attagirl.
Sorry.
Ronnie... Ronnie, Ronnie...
Ronnie, what is all this?
Jiya, calm down. Come inside.
Jiya, get inside. Don't make a scene.
What is this? Tell me! What's going on?
Wow. So this is what's been happening here.
Jiya, relax.
Just sit down, let's sit and talk this over.
You want me to relax?
How am I supposed to relax after seeing all this?
What do you take me for?
Look, I told you at the start.
In this industry, anything is possible.
And this kind of thing is just understood.
Excuse me!
What do you mean?
What do you think?
That you can just use me for your own profit?
Jiya.
This is just the beginning.
You have to do a lot to get ahead.
There's a word for it: compromise.
You should get that into your head.
Compromise, my ass!
Listen, Rupi.
This is my favorite single malt.
The taste is... unlike any other.
You'll definitely enjoy this.
Have some.
Rupi.
You've been a real lucky charm for me.
Business has grown so much since you arrived.
Thank you, sir.
I always try to do my best.
Hmm.
You know, I'm going to tell Mukesh to transfer you here.
So you can always be close by.
Sit down, Rupi.
Did you just barge in here?
Didn't anyone ever teach you to ask for permission before entering?
I didn't come here to ask for your permission,
Sher Pratap Singh.
I came here to give you a warning.
This shady business you've got going on...
Shut it down. Immediately.
Plenty of 'heroes' like you have tried...
...to take on Sher Pratap.
But messing with Sher Pratap is not...
...a walk in the park, son.
You're right about that.
Plenty of others might've tried, but you haven't dealt with me yet.
And enjoy these last few days...
...of your fancy life while you can.
Because after this, if I don't have you rotting in a prison cell,
then my name isn't Jogawar Preet Singh.
Kid, get that delusion out of your head.
Go on.
I'll give you a shot.
Forget jail. If you can even get me summoned to the police station,
then my name isn't Sher Pratap Singh.
Alright then.
You'd better start thinking of a new name.
All the best, son.
What's the plan now, sir?
Weren't you saying that yesterday...
...you met with some producer?
It was nothing special, man.
Let's do something big, sir.
We've done enough songs.
You should plan for a film.
Yeah man, my meeting was regarding that.
We'll plan something soon.
So, what's the timeline looking like?
Man, I got an offer for a photoshoot.
For a really big magazine.
But it's a... bold photoshoot.
But the pay is huge.
Then let's do it, sir!
Why turn down work when we're getting it?
Yeah, but I need a girl for it.
Someone with a killer figure.
Well, you've got me, sir!
I'm not asking you to do it. I need a girl for that.
I need a girl. You're unbelievable.
Jia's perfect for that.
Jia.
She and I had a fight.
I doubt she'll do it.
You can leave that to me.
I've got this.
I'll convince her.
You sure?
Positive.
Alright, give it a shot.
Okay, go ahead and order.
What are you having?
Pick something good.
Hello, brother.
Hello,
Hello. How are you? Everything good?
Yes. Doing great, doing great.
So, brother,
I saw our girl's music video.
I'm telling you, it's blowing up.
It's so popular,
you wouldn't believe it.
I mean, a couple more songs like that,
and a little more hard work, and she'll be doing movies.
Congratulations.
Hello? Dad?
You can keep your 'hello'.
What's wrong, Dad?
What, you think that by living so far from us...
...you can do whatever you want and we won't find out?
Despite everything I told you,
you've gone down the very path
I specifically forbade you from taking.
Dad, but...
I thought my daughter would become an IPS officer, but...
...but you've gone and become an actress.
No, Dad, it's not like that, listen to m— Shut up.
I'm not listening to a word you have to say.
Don't call me again.
And one more thing.
Hah!
Now that you're such a big actress,
you can pay your own way.
You are dead to us.
Hello? Hello, Dad?
The number you have dialed
is currently busy.
The number you have dialed is currently busy.
Please try again later.
Look, Jia, I'm really sorry.
I know what happened was completely wrong.
But whatever happened,
you just have to try and put it behind you.
Let's just move on from this.
And let's get back to work, okay?
It's not that easy, Amar.
If the singer had some kind of demand,
you should have told me beforehand.
I had a right to know.
I never would have agreed to do the song.
Look, Jia,
I told you before, this is what the industry can be like.
In this business, there are a lot of things
you have to compromise on.
Jia, that director has a ton of work.
And this stuff happens all the time, you know?
Try to understand.
You know what? It's been a whole month.
And I haven't been able to pull myself
out of this.
I know,
everything seems so easy to you guys.
But ever since that day, it feels like my whole world
has been turned upside down.
I can't even face myself in the mirror
anymore.
I get it, man.
You're not the only one this has happened to.
In this industry, it happens all the time.
And Ronny feels really terrible about it.
I set up a meeting with the director, and he has a lot of work
and a lot of brand-new projects coming up.
So let's just move on to the next project, okay?
Whatever happened, just forget about it.
Hello.
Vinay, Vinay, I need to talk to you.
Vinay, I'm pregnant.
Joban, just listen to me.
Rupi, what didn't I do for you?
Tell me, what was I not giving you?
I was sitting here dreaming of spending
my life with you.
And you?
You've got it all wrong.
Seriously?
After what I saw with my own eyes,
you're telling me I'm mistaken?
Rupi, I thought that we...
...were soulmates.
Just give me a chance to explain.
I had so many dreams.
That we would spend our whole lives together.
I had even...
I had even told my...
...my own mother.
Please, just listen to me. Try to understand.
There's nothing left to understand now.
You've ruined everything.
Our love, our relationship.
No.
No, no, no.
Jia, you were saying that you...
...want to be a star in movies.
I'm getting you out of the Punjabi industry...
...and launching you in Bollywood.
That's all fine, Rony,
but...
I don't want a repeat of what happened last time.
It won't happen.
This is just a photoshoot.
The producer...
...his friend has a magazine.
And we're just doing the shoot for that.
But Jia, it's going to involve body shots.
My face can't be in them.
It won't be.
And the last thing I want is for...
...my reputation to be ruined.
Don't you worry.
I'm in control of the visuals.
Look, I guarantee you,
nothing like that will happen.
Let's do it.
Okay, thank you.
Here, take this.
Take it on time.
And if you have any problems, just give me a call.
Take a couple days off from work and get some rest.
When you're feeling better, we'll go out somewhere.
Alright?
Okay.
Should I go then?
Mmm-hmm.
Hey bro, could you set this light up over here?
Yeah, that's good, that's good.
Let's stick with this frame. Bro, can you please call Jia...
...and ask her where she's gotten to?
I messaged her. She's on her way.
Listen to me.
We're going to get some really great light from here.
Let's check this frame from this angle.
We'll get good light from over there too, right?
Hi Jia.
Hi.
Ronnie, I wanted to say something.
Yes?
I've come to this photoshoot today, trusting you,
but I can't be betrayed again.
Jia, I give you my word, nothing will happen.
Don't worry, Jia. I've got your back.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Shall we begin?
Noor?
Hmm?
Just a second.
I want to talk to you about something.
Yeah, what is it?
I don't know if this is the right thing to say or not,
but I want you to be safe.
You're just trying to clear your path, aren't you?
You're jealous of him, aren't you?
Noor, I like you, and I care about you.
Whether you appreciate this or not,
I don't care.
Nitesh, back off.
Noor, just hear me out.
Noor!
Come on.
Rupi?
Rupi.
Wow.
Look, Rupi.
What's done is done.
It's not your fault, and it's not mine.
But...
for me, it wasn't just a one-night stand.
Never.
I... I'm not going to leave you hanging.
I'm with you.
Also...
Here's some money. It'll come in handy.
You keep it.
It would make me happy.
I'll always be there for you, Rupi.
Dad? You're here?
Sat Sri Akal.
What's going on here, Vinay?
Vinay!
This is our house, not a hotel.
A place where you can just do whatever you want?
Dad, it's not like that.
Cut the crap!
Is this what you're going to do with your life, stupid?
Dad, you're misunderstanding— Shut up!
We sent you here to work.
Are you here to run the business or just mess around?
No, Dad, it's not— Quiet!
Is this how we raised you?
Idiot!
Vinay, I'm leaving.
Noor, is everything okay?
You look sad.
Actually, I'm not feeling well.
What's wrong?
Just a slight headache, nothing more.
Oh, okay.
Excuse me.
Hello?
Vinay, why aren't you answering my calls?
Noor, I told you my dad is here.
Why do you keep calling me over and over?
But...
But it's not right to just ignore me like this.
Noor, listen to me carefully.
As long as my dad is here, you need to lay low.
Okay?
I'm hanging up.
Just listen to me.
Vinay, please just listen to me...
Excuse me, sir.
Yes, Noor?
Um... could I possibly take a day off?
I'm not feeling well.
A day off... Of course.
Go ahead.
Take care on your way out.
Make sure you take some medicine, alright?
Thank you, sir.
♪ My heart won't pound, my girl... ♪
♪ as long as you keep dancing. ♪
Thank you.
♪ No guy will stop cheering, girl, as long as you keep dancing. ♪
Hey man, the vibe is weird here. Let's go over there.
Dude, that other spot was better...
Man, it was so much better there. That was the spot.
Excuse me, one more please.
Oh, dude.
Isn't that the girl who had those risqué photos in the magazine?
No way, man.
- Bro, look again. - Thank you.
Yeah, dude, that's totally her.
Dude, go talk to her.
Excuse me?
Excuse me.
Yes?
Aren't you the one from those viral photos?
What do you mean?
Isn't this you?
So what's the plan for tonight? Should we go?
Come back to our place. We'll drop you off in the morning.
Don't be ridiculous.
It's just until morning, ma'am.
What'd she say?
Idiots.
Dude, she got pissed.
Dad, I made a mistake.
But I promise you,
I'll be completely focused from now on.
Alright.
It's time for my flight, I'm leaving.
I've explained everything to Mr. Gupta.
You'll be getting all the files.
And please,
work sincerely and take care of the business.
I'll get it.
Vinay? - Noor, what are you doing here?
Why aren't you answering my calls?
I've called and messaged you so many times.
Why are you ignoring me?
Vinay, you're pulling the same stunt again, aren't you?
Vinay?
Make it clear to your father. Go on, tell him.
Tell him the truth!
We love each other, don't we?
You said you would marry me.
Tell him.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Listen, girl. This whole love thing is nonsense.
Ask him.
How many other girls has he promised to marry?
Hmm?
Just any girl can't become this family's daughter-in-law.
I'm a businessman.
And my daughter-in-law will come from a good family.
And you think some girl off the street can just walk into my house?
That's not going to happen.
Vinay, what is your father saying?
Why aren't you saying anything?
Hey, girl. Take your price.
And from now on, stay away from Vinay.
Get out.
Vinay, your father is putting a price on our love.
Vinay, why aren't you saying anything?
Say something!
Speak!
Vinay! Vinay!
Get out of here! Vinay!
Sir's calling for you.
Come on, hurry up!
Should I load up all this stuff, sir?
Yes, load it up. For the delivery.
Sir, she wouldn't come. Let her go!
Rupi, there's a new address for the delivery.
Take the package and make the drop.
Sir, I won't do this job.
Take the money and make the delivery.
Sorry sir, but I'm not doing this work anymore.
What do you mean you're not doing it?
You have to do it.
I said I'm not doing it!
Don't you get it?
This package has to be delivered.
I'm not doing this job.
Besides you, we don't have...
...anyone else.
I'm not doing it.
Look, Rupi,
it's easy to get into this business,
but it's very hard to leave.
Sir, I'm not doing this work anymore.
Don't you touch me.
Don't you get it? Let go!
Sir, she's not listening.
What should we do?
Forget it. Get rid of her.
Besides, she already knows too much about us.
Why get rid of her?
We can use her for something else.
We'll keep her here tonight.
Who are you to keep me here?
If you can spend the night with Sher Singh,
then why not with them?
You can't do this to me.
Grab her.
Hey, get her!
Stop her! Don't let her get away! Where do you think you're going?
Stop. Stop, stop.
Open the gate.
Boss, she got away.
What's a little thing like her going to do to us?
Let her go.
I told you,
my face wasn't supposed to be in it.
You betrayed me again.
I should never have trusted you.
You... you're all the same.
What do I do now?
You've ruined my life.
Hello.
So, ma'am, how much will it be?
You again?
Just listen to me.
Idiot.
Who could be calling at this hour?
Jia?
At this hour?
Here, give it to me. I'll talk to her.
Didn't I tell you not to call?
Dad, please just listen to me.
Roaming the streets in the middle of the night.
You went to the big city and forgot
all the values we taught you?
Dad, please just listen to me.
We have nothing to do with you anymore.
Don't call me ever again.
As far as we're concerned, you're dead to us. Got it?
Hello? Dad?
Man, we were going through so much stress.
The things I went through...
Yes, I needed the money.
But I had no idea
that a single misstep would lead me
to death's door.
This need for money...
it makes a person blind.
You can't even tell what's right or wrong.
Vinay was deceiving me from the very
first day.
I trusted him so much.
I kept falling deeper into the web he spun.
People like him don't know the first thing about love.
They use our emotions
to get to our bodies...
It's all just a game to them.
Look at me,
I couldn't fulfill my own dream,
nor my father's.
And that Ronny... that bastard is nothing but a liar and a cheat.
He promised me,
that he'd do a body shoot for the magazine.
And the scumbag used my face.
My face on an explicit shoot, with AI's help.
Rupi, Rupi, do you know?
Men... men were asking for my nightly rate.
What's even left now?
I should just die.
Men like Sher Singh and Mukesh...
they used me.
They deceived me.
You're right, Noor. We should die.
We should just die.
We're going to die anyway.
Besides, we have nothing left to live for.
So why don't we just have a blast today,
and live life to the fullest?
Come on, get up. Get ready.
Let's go out somewhere.
Get up.
Rupi.
What's wrong?
Hey, no crying.
We're going to have fun now. Okay?
Come on, smile.
Come on, we're going out, aren't we?
Come on, let's go.
Let's go. Smile.
Come on, come on.
Let's go.
A new dawn.
A new sun.
A new life.
If we had taken that poison today, Joban would still...
...be here investigating.
And my dad would've just said,
"My daughter was already dead to me."
And I was trying to run away from my responsibilities
at home.
What would have happened to my sisters?
I'm their only support.
We made such a huge mistake.
Hello, Aunty.
Hello.
How are you?
Hello.
We're fine.
Hello, Aunty.
Yes, hello.
Have you not even woken up or washed your faces today?
What's wrong?
Oh, it's... it's nothing.
What is this?
Is this what you came here to do?
Is this why your parents sent you here?
Which one of you three came up with this plan?
Tell me.
I see. So the three of you planned this together.
Shame on you. Shame.
I don't know what is happening in your lives,
or what's going to happen.
And frankly, I don't want to know.
But the things you're doing... this isn't right for you.
Aunty.
We're so sorry.
Don't apologize to me, girls.
If you had actually gone through with it,
I'm the one who would've been strung up.
Roopi?
I thought you were the sensible one.
The most level-headed of them all.
But you turned out to be just like them.
Listen, girls,
the path you were about to go down...
...that's no way to live your life.
Look at me.
I was widowed in the prime of my youth.
And my mother-in-law threw me out of the house.
With a two-year-old child.
I came to Chandigarh.
I worked in factories.
I worked day and night.
I worked with sheer determination.
People said all sorts of things, but I didn't listen to any of them.
And look at me now, I own four flats.
I never gave up.
You can't give up either.
Fight. Fight on your own strength.
Win your life's battles on your own.
I didn't even have any talent.
But you girls have so much talent.
Make a fresh start.
I understand.
Sorry, sorry, Noor. I was just in the middle of something.
How are you? You okay?
Ugh, don't even ask, Nitesh.
I know what happened to you was really wrong.
Look, Noor, I've liked you from the very beginning.
I flirted with you,
but I never meant you any harm.
And when you went off with him, I just knew he was going to use you.
And I even tried to stop you.
But you took it the wrong way
and just walked away.
Look, Noor,
I don't know if you like me or not.
But we can be good friends.
Besides, when you quit that job...
...I left that place too.
Why?
Noor.
I had a dream of starting my own business.
And after working for seven years, I kept saving up whatever money I could...
...so I could open my own salon.
But because of one problem or another, the plan...
...kept getting delayed.
And the day the manager fired you, I made up my mind...
...that I wasn't going to work there anymore.
But here's the thing, I've already rented a place.
And I need a business partner.
And I don't think anyone could be better for the job than you.
But Nitesh, why me?
I don't even have a single rupee.
Come on, you've got a real talent for handling clients.
What you can do, no one else can.
Look, I can at least do the shaves,
the haircuts...
...but you know the rest of the salon business.
As for the money,
we'll sort out the finances with whatever the salon brings in.
But... No 'buts'.
Just start your scooter and come with me.
I'll show you the salon. Come on.
Rupi,
you've done a fashion design course, haven't you?
Yes, Aunty.
And you know what you're doing?
I do, Aunty.
You see, I have a friend.
She's moving to Canada to live with her son.
And she has a boutique, right here in Mohali.
If you want, I could get it for you.
Aunty, where would I get that kind of money...
...to buy a boutique?
Let's talk to them anyway.
If they're willing to lease it, that works too.
If they hire you on a salary basis,
that works too.
Okay, Aunty.
You talk to them, and we can meet.
Alright, I'll talk to them for you.
Hmm, look...
It might look small, but it's perfect for a start.
We already have our own customers,
and they'll keep coming to us.
So don't you worry about the customers.
They're my responsibility.
That's right. Yeah.
You sure?
Positive.
Deal?
Done!
Hello, Manisha ji. How are you?
Hello. I'm doing well.
Is business going well?
Yes, yes.
That's great.
Please, have a seat.
Come on, Rupi, sit.
She's so lovely, isn't she?
Aunty will agree, right?
So, how have you been?
Doing great.
Hello.
Yes, everything's fine.
So, you're off to tour the colder countries?
Yes, yes.
This is the girl, Rupi, who I was...
...telling you about.
Oh, I see.
Look, dear, I've built all of this with a lot of hard work.
And I'm a single mother.
My son is really insisting that I come to him in Canada.
He's just so eager for me to get there.
And the boutique has everything,
we have employees,
and you'll have to manage them all.
Every customer who comes to our boutique...
...has a lot of respect for me and trusts me completely.
That trust must not be broken.
Ma'am, don't you worry about a thing.
I'll work day and night.
I'll take your business to the next level.
Look, just make sure the customers' trust isn't broken and the Tarz...
...Boutique name isn't tarnished.
Don't worry. Don't you worry about it now.
This is our responsibility now.
Good, that's what I was hoping to hear.
So tell me, how's your work going?
Work's good.
I'm getting a decent number of orders.
That's great, man.
Gotta keep the business running.
Well, look here, the tea has arrived.
Come on in.
We were waiting for you.
Here's the tea.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Oh, I forgot to mention one thing.
You should create a social media account.
Hey, wait, you've got Jia!
Make her your model.
Dress her up in some beautiful designer clothes and...
...start promoting your work on social media.
That's the name of the game these days.
Yes, dress her up. She really looks like a model.
And post a really nice...
...reel of her on social media.
Great idea.
But on one condition.
While you're making these for us,
you have to book our orders too.
Alright.
Yes, Harjit sir, you'll get it.
We'll deliver it, sir. Don't you worry.
Hey...
Hello.
Where are you?
I was at the boutique.
So, did you check your account?
No.
Go on, take a look.
Hold on a second.
Whoa, I've got so many views!
I know, right?
Your reels have gone viral.
Yeah.
Hold on, let me check my DMs.
Nitesh, there are so many orders here!
Hmm, that's amazing.
Thank you so much, Nitesh.
This is all thanks to you.
Rupi,
actually, we should be thanking you. Thanks to you, we're getting a ton of bookings.
Oh, that's wonderful.
Alright, I'll get on it. Okay?
Let me just check which orders have come in.
Yeah, go take a look.
Bye.
Alright, bro,
I'll call you later.
Hello.
I'm from Taras Boutique with your dresses.
Do you do any acting?
Uh... not anymore. I used to.
Well, we produce TV shows,
and we're looking for actresses.
Would you be interested in joining?
No sir, I'm not interested.
Give it a try, you'll like it.
No, thank you, sir.
Just give it a shot, you'll enjoy it.
Okay, but I have some conditions.
If you're okay with them, we can talk.
That's fine. Okay.
Aunty.
Here's the rent for the past three months.
And thank you so much, Aunty.
You've been so supportive.
If you hadn't been there for us,
it would have been so much harder.
Oh, don't be silly.
There's nothing to thank me for.
This is all your hard work finally paying off.
Huh?
Don't you worry so much.
Action!
See?
I told you this gang couldn't evade me for long.
I've sworn an oath to put anyone who breaks the law
behind bars.
Cut!
Great shot, Jiya.
Alright, let's set up for the next shot.
I'm asking you one last time.
Give me the names of your accomplices.
I've told you over and over,
I don't know anything.
I'm innocent.
He's not going to cooperate.
Give him the treatment.
Don't stop beating him...
...until he gives up his accomplices.
I'd like to see...
...just how long those who mock the law can keep running.
It's your dad's phone.
Should I answer? How is Dad calling me here?
Should I talk to him?
Hello.
Hello, sweetheart.
Hello, Dad.
Sweetheart,
sometimes we parents impose our own desires on you.
Sweetheart, we don't even know what your own dreams are.
But...
my child, seeing you where you are today... really, I'm so happy and proud of you.
Your mom and I will come see you soon,
sweetheart.
We'll come soon.
You... you take care of yourself, my child.
Bless you, sweetheart. Love you.
May you have great success.
Okay, Dad.
Are you done?
Yeah.
What did they say?
Dad said they're coming to visit.
What? For real? Oh, really?
Congratulations.
This is a success party for all of us!
Yes!
The paths we choose to make our dreams come true,
are not wrong.
But falling in with the wrong crowd
can often throw you off your path.
We stumble and we fall.
But to get back on your feet,
and fulfill that dream on your own terms...
that's the real goal.
The doves took flight from the village tree,
the sparrows soared while the parrots just watched,
as they passed by with a challenge.
Out to conquer the world, these girls had never even crossed
the little bridge over the canal...
Oh, they're off to become city girls, the city girls,
the city girls.
Oh, they're off to become the city girls,
the city girls.
