One has to bear all the hardships one finds
in one's chosen path.
The paths which are easy to walk on
lack a destination.
They take you wayward, make you suffer,
feel tired and in the end,
they defeat you.
I realized this fact
after I took a shortcut in life.
My name
is Veera Mehrotra.
And today...
Today, I am going to die.
[♪]
Come, Ma'am.
Jai Hind.
Actually,
that's my daughter Siya's art project.
Oh?
Tea.
Sorry...
Sorry, I forgot to add the tea leaves... - It's okay.
It is natural to be confused at a time like this.
No, I'll make some again.
It's okay, Veeraji, I'll make do with biscuits.
Anyway, drinking tea can cause acidity.
Please sit.
Any chance you have a writing pad around?
Thank you.
Pen?
Thank you.
Please sit, Veeraji.
Veeraji, tell me how did this happened?
The more detailed an account you can give, the better it would be.
So tell me.
My husband...
It was my husband Jatin's friend,
Lalit Sardesai's fiftieth birthday.
Cheers! - Yeah!
So, we thought of coming here.
It was perfect.
[♪]
Kavi! - Hey...
The barbecue is tomorrow, not today?
Come here. Come on.
Come here!
Yeah, Kavi!
Come here!
Actually,
you have
spoilt her too much.
But don't worry.
That is my job.
I was 15 years old
when my parents died in a car accident.
After that,
I've never expected anything from life.
I got used to looking after myself.
Then came Lalit,
who spoilt me with his love.
No one will ever love me
the way he did.
Watch this.
Look out.
Oh, yes.
Oh... - Hello.
Champaign, baby! - Lalit, stop it.
Don't do it. - Lalit, stop it.
Lalit! - Move away!
Champagne! - Lalit, please don't do it.
Stop it, Lalit!
No idea, ma'am...
Mrs Tharoor.
I know this must be difficult for you.
The fact that your husband died at such an age...
And the way he died...
You mean my age?
28 years.
I am too young to be a widow, right?
I was planning a surprise.
I was baking bread.
For whom will I make bread now?
No carbs.
Let's go for a walk down the beach tonight?
Jaya won't mind.
Do you mind?
What are you doing?
You won't fit in the frame if you stand apart.
Stand close to each other. - Yeah.
Come on, close to me.
Kavita. Come on!
Lalit, stand really close to her. Very close.
Closer still?
Why don't you say anything?
You know how important he is for my business.
When Nilesh, Jaya and Kavita don't have
any issues, you should just ignore it.
Ready...
Let's go!
want to say something.
Last night, I had
a really weird dream.
It was about Nilesh.
Well, it didn't feel like a dream.
It was so real.
It was like
I was getting some signs
from another world.
That I should stop Nilesh.
But I didn't stop him.
I was making bread.
Kavita.
Is there anything you three would like to say about this morning?
[♪]
The beer is gone. Now, there's fresh bread.
What's the matter?
Have you poisoned the food or something?
There are other ways to kill a person, Jatin.
Why would I waste any food?
Oh! - Oh!
Do you remember
Our wedding vows?
That we would spend our
seven life-times together?
And that we'd die together.
So, we will also eat together.
Eat it. - Not now, Lalit. Please.
Eat it. I said
eat it!
What is he doing, man?
That's what I call breaking bread together.
I need to have some .
Oh, my head!
Do you really think
that Kavita could poison the food?
Kavita is not that intelligent!
Sorry!
Aren't all of you going on the boat?
Boat?
We're not in the mood.
Oh, okay. - Oh, why?
Actually,
the three of us had planned a surprise, so I...
Oh, a surprise!
And this breakfast...
Something is fishy.
Come on...
Come on. Let's go. - It's a good idea.
The boat's a good idea. - Oh, yeah.
It will clear your head. - Yeah. Darn it!
What happened?
Women!
Pack it and bring it, Okay?
Come on...
Wow.
Food.
There were three more to go.
I'm going on a boat ride.
I'm not going off to die.
I'm sorry.
Sorry for what? - Come on. Let's go.
Jatin.
What happened? - Come on! The daylight's getting wasted!
There's something on your cheek.
Bye.
Alright, steady!
Hey, steady!
What nonsense!
like it's my birthday.
We're going to party like it's my birthday.
Good woman.
Hey Guys, we got to Party!
Party!
We were shocked. Totally shocked.
I've never seen anything like that before.
I mean, I've seen it in movies.
But so much fire in real life...
The sound of that blast is still echoing in my ears.
It doesn't go away.
Take it easy!
I'm going to the villa. Let me know if you find anything.
Keep at it.
That...
I think, over there...
Veera!
Jay! - Kavita, there's no one there.
Please. Just calm down.
There is someone over there! Look!
Over there! Nilesh!
He is calling out to me.
I don't want to go.
I promise I'll send you there.
Jay!
Jay, calm down.
I think we've made a mistake.
We shouldn't have killed them.
Perhaps we should have talked to them.
I'd read a blog which said
communication is everything.
Kavita, please. You know... - Excuse me.
We are done with you.
You may go.
What does that mean?
It means you need to calm down!
If the police starts suspecting that the blast wasn't
an accident, but it was done by us,
we will be done for!
Make her understand! - Oh, dear!
Kavita.
Stop looking out of the window. Okay?
Excuse me.
You will have to hire a taxi.
Why?
Your luggage has been loaded.
We need your car for the investigation.
You'll get it back by evening.
For now, it's a case of Section 304 A.
We shall meet again.
What does Section 304 A mean?
Death by accident.
[♪]
Who do you think it look like, Rinku ma'am?
For now, it looks like 'tandoori' chicken, Deenprasad.
Oh, dear!
What food have you ordered?
Should I order some?
Very well.
Darn it!
What do you think you're trying to do?
Are you trying to defy me? Are you trying...
Are you trying to challenge me?
Challenge this, you hag!
You can't do anything properly!
Let me know if you
don't need your eyes! I'll gouge them out right away!
No, no.
You were calling the police!
How many times have I told you, Jaya, that there is
no point in calling the police?
It won't help you. You see,
they're all my batch-mates.
Hag!
You ruined my favorite shirt!
Come here!
Fall at my feet!
Come on.
Say sorry, Jaya!
Say sorry!
Yeah, whatever!
I'll have to change my shirt now!
Darn it!
Oops.
Sorry, Lalit.
I'm a big darn failure!
Nilesh!
What are you doing? - Kavi.
I couldn't give you the life.
I had promised you.
I couldn't...
What are you saying? You are giving me that life.
I asked you to buy me a phone and you bought one for me.
I asked you for a bag and you bought me one.
I have to send you to other people for that!
Have you ever tried to understand
what I feel like when I
send you to other people?
I die a million deaths, Kavi.
Do you feel like
you are a prostitute? - What are you saying?
It's not like that.
It's okay. These things happen.
It's fine. It's okay.
Stop lying, Kavi.
Stop lying, Kavi. Stop lying or else I will cut myself!
Stop lying! - Don't do this, Nilesh.
Stop lying! Kavi, - No...
I hate what I'm doing.
I hate myself! I hate my life!
I have an idea.
Let's get it over with.
You slit your wrists first. Then, I'll slit mine.
We will build another life for us in another world.
Let's finish this life. Let's end this.
I want to end this.
Okay? - No.
No. No, Nilesh.
I'm really sorry.
It's my fault. Okay?
Your depression...
Everything is my fault.
I'm so sorry!
I'm so sorry! I love you.
I love you.
I love you. It's all ridiculous.
I promise you that everything will be okay.
It's all okay. - It's not okay, Kavi.
Darn liar!
How long do you think this will take, ma'am?
It is my wife's birthday the day after tomorrow.
Delay it, Deenprasad.
Unless we find the third body,
no one will cut a birthday cake.
Understand? This is not a kitty party!
Go! - No, ma'am.
Look for the third body! - Yes, ma'am.
Oh...
What are you doing? Keep searching!
Hurry up!
What nonsense is this?
Darn you, Rami!
That Medi Pharma chick may be a big shot.
But I'm no fool, understood?
I'll talk to her myself.
Haven't I told you not to touch my things?!
I was... - Keep quiet!
Where is it?
Dad!
You stay out of this! - Siya!
Get her out of here!
Siya. - Mom.
I never knew that Jatin had enemies.
Enemies?
Have you ever heard of a boat getting blasted off like this?
Someone did this to him.
Aunty it was an accident.
Even the police thinks so?
Someone killed him.
The truth will come out soon, you'll see...
It's okay.
You can go. Thank you for being here. I will
go and sit with Siya.
Hi.
Where is Papa?
Papa?
I am done! - So, leave.
Who's stopping you? Go.
Thanks for showing me that our marriage is over.
Siya and I are leaving... - Hey!
Only you.
Siya is my daughter. She will stay here.
If you even touch her... - What will you do?
Will you kill me?
Stop watching all those movies, Jatin.
Your threats have started getting stale.
So I'll just kill Siya!
And end this story!
Papa had called.
He has gone out for work. He'll be late.
But he said that he was missing you.
And he loves you.
Come here.
I have lied to Siya.
Jay, what if we get caught?
Calm down, Veera.
Jatin was Siya's father, Jay.
A bad father.
But yes,
since she's a product of his sperm,
he would have rights over her.
I've been summoned to the police station tomorrow.
Thank God, it's not my turn tomorrow.
I'm very busy, you see.
Oh! Ten hits already!
What? - It's a dating app.
15 hits!
Are you stupid? Just delete it!
But why?
Even Neena aunty has her doubts about this being an accident,
I've been called to the police station
and you're only thinking about having sex.
Just delete it!
[♪]
Sandwich?
[♪]
Where could the third body have gone, ma'am?
It's been two days since we started.
We must find it, Deenprasad.
It must be around.
If it isn't found, those poor ladies will have
to do a two by three split, like soup!
They're already shocked by the blast.
Plus, this wait..
Shall we go? - Yes, ma'am. Let's go.
Hurry up, Deenprasad! - Yes, ma'am.
Yes, I can see it, mom.
The third woman
has a crooked nose.
The seventh woman
has a lazy eye.
And the tenth woman has dyed her hair, mom.
Yes, I know I've crossed 40.
But I can take another year.
And I'll probably have kids in a year or two after that..
Kids...
Mom, I'll call you later.
Oh!
Is this how you park your car?
Couldn't you have left some space?
License.
Are you a traffic constable?
I...
What do you want? Registration? Insurance?
Wait.
Any other details?
This, Jatin... - Of course,
Why would you want to speak to a woman? Right?
People want to talk 'man to man' in this world.
So go deal with him. Best of luck.
What happened?
You want money now?
Oh! Give me your phone.
This is my number. Call me later. I'll give you the money.
Are you following me?
I'll report you.
Ma'am...
Excuse me. Veera Mehrotra.
I am here to meet Inspector Pankaj Mishra.
Sir, this lady wants to meet you.
Did Jatin have any enemies?
The blast...
The blast was an accident, right? So, why are you...
We've found a timer.
Oh!
Maybe... his work..
I really don't know.
How was your relationship with him?
What do you mean?
I mean
a married couple can have many problems.
How many problems did the two of you have?
Are you investigating Jatin's death
or my marriage?
Both.
Sometimes, marriage can also be the cause of death.
We had the usual problems that a couple married for
ten years would have.
Have you had these problems for a while or...
We didn't have any problems.
You just said you had problems.
I mean
we just had the usual problems.
Nothing better or worse than that.
Okay. Thank you, Mrs Mehrotra.
We'll call you if anything comes up.
Sir.
She just lost her husband.
And you decided to grill her about their relationship?
Samosa? - Sure! Is there any chutney?
You should have thought twice about it.
What were you thinking?
I was wondering why Mrs Mehrotra was lying.
What do you mean? How do you know?
Look at this photo, Rinku.
Mrs Mehrotra does not look happy.
Jayati Sardesai and Kavita Tharoor don't look happy either.
This is not normal.
How do you know? You're not even married.
One prepares well before sitting for an exam.
Am I right?
Would you like some more?-'no, thanks'
Who is it?
Who's there?
Yes! Hello, Veera!
You!
How did you come inside?
I'm Jatin's partner, Veera.
So, he would consider me a trustworthy person. Right?
What...
What do you want? - Cardamom.
Cardamom?couldn't find it anywhere.
Tea without cardamom is no fun.
Yes! That's lovely! Thank you.
Anything else?
What?
Money.
The money that Jatin was after? for which he has staged this whole drama.
What drama?
Boom!
The pretense of dying.
Jatin is a real drama queen.
Jatin has not done any drama.
He is dead.
Of course. Where's the money?
What money?
The money he wants to get his hands on.
Is there any milk?
There's no drama going on here!
There's no money! No milk! Okay?
Jatin is dead. Now, get out!
Let me make it plain and simple for you.
I hope you understand.
If Jatin comes back from the dead, then there is no problem.
And if he doesn't,
then I guarantee to send you
and Siya to him.
Rami Uncle! - Hey, Siya!
Do you want some ice-cream? - Yes! -She has a sore throat.
I don't have a sore throat. - then you'll get it.
Come on. - I love ice cream.
Me too!
She has a sore throat, Kavita. Go.
I'm leaving.
I'll come back tomorrow.
Say hello to Jatin from me.
Jatin.
Veera.
The blast.
It was an end to our problems. Right?
Why are they coming back, Jay?
The police should never find out
that Rameez has threatened you.
We don't know, Veera.
Those three men must have done a lot of bad deeds.
If the police starts investigating them,
the three of us will be done for.
Or maybe?
If they come to know about Rameez, the case will get solved.
The police will arrest him.
After that, they will deal with the case.
We won't have to get involved in it.
End of all the threats.
End of all the problems.
