Bubblegum

There comes a day in life where...

questions like 'Who are you?' 'What do you want?'...

'What's your worth?' come into the picture.

Mom's love... Dad's teachings...

The confidence friends imbibe in you...

The recognition you worked for...

The life you craved for...

Is my desire the root of my current situation?

Or is it my ambition?

Or is it the love that came into my life without asking for it?

Which one is it?

Hi, school uncle. Happy Sankranthi!

-Where did you steal these? -Happy Holi!

That's gone, man. Let it go.

No, it's not. Hold on.

-Fly it higher. -Asif, that's your girl, right?

See how happy she looks.

How can you see her from here?

-Adi... -Huh?

Wasim is here.

It's time to settle old grudges.

I mean, I admit that he studied well.

But my father rubs it in my face everyday and annoys me.

I feel like punching his face whenever I look at him.

He's right there.

Let's wish him Happy Pongal and feed him jalebis.

Hold on. I know how to bruise their ego.

Are you making holes? I'm an expert at that.

What are you doing here, Fatima?

Shouldn't you be busy fooling Asif right now?

No, brother. Asif found out the truth about me.

I want a new boy toy.

-Oh, yeah? There's your new victim. -Look over there.

He's your friend. I don't have to fool him a second time.

Hey, Wasim! Eeeyuu!

Hey, Asif!

Delete the Instagram video LIVE.

-You better not mess with my sister. -What the hell are you going to do?

I had to sell my mom's gold bangles to fulfill your sister's fancies.

Hey, Asif! You loser! I'll screw your happiness, I swear!

You moron! Shut that chicken-y mouth of yours!

Oh, yeah? Who could be bigger losers than you three?

Back off! I'll tear your kite if you lose your tongue.

Hey, boots and cats! Stick to your DJing.

Bal, if you keep cutting each other's kites to get back at each other,

you'll be left with nothing.

Let's try and spread love, Bal.

What's to lose? They might actually love us back.

You do realize that you've already gone crazy in love, right?

Your girlfriend has eloped with someone.

Wasim, I'm going to cut your kite right now.

Stop me if you can!

Oh, yeah? Let's go!

-I got it. I got it. -Let the string lose, man.

-Pull it. Pull it. -No! No! No!

-You fuc*er! -Huh?!

What did you just say?

What got you acting like a hero suddenly?

I checked myself out in the mirror this morning...

and thought to myself, 'Wow! You look like a hero!'

I found the vibe comfortable and decided to go with it.

-What say, Asif? -Hmm.

I don't care what you think.

But if you mess with me, it's going to get ugly.

He's not worth it. Shut him up.

Listen! We're going to go upstairs and fly the kite now.

I dare you to try and cut our string off.

If you provoke me, I'll take your clothes off and beat you naked.

You fuc*er!

Guys, go hit him!

Hit him! Yeah, that's it.

Adi, I'll break this if you come close.

-Wasim! -I'll break it if you come close.

You idiot!

Stop right there!

Damn it!

Please call the men of your families.

I don't want you to hit me. Please.

-Hey! Don't touch me! -Hey!

I got nothing to do here. You can hit me.

I was just kidding.

Wasim, stop!

Pay up! Your dude broke my speaker.

-What the hell is this? -It's festive time, bro.

So, is this your pocket money?

Happy festivities!

-Pay up, dude! -I don't have cash on me, bro.

Send on Google Pay.

-I don't have my phone, bro. -Bloody hell! Are you messing with me?

You idiot!

As*hole! Pay up!

Is this what you give me for breaking the speaker, you loser?

You've got to be attentive, right? You missed it twice in a row.

Always make sure that your punches land, bro.

Hey... Hey, Adi...

I'll buy you a speaker on EMI if you want.

Let him go.

Bloody hell!

Pay up!

You feel like a hero now that you've hit me, huh?

I'll go back to Dubai again.

But you'll be right here. This is as good as your life gets.

You'll live in this shithole forever.

Hey, dad! Don't you know you should knock?

What the hell! This looks like Chor Bazaar.

-Who is this cartoon? -Snoop Dogg.

-What dog? -Snoop Dogg.

What's with all the beer bottles and then your mom's picture in the middle?

Where's my picture, you loser?

If you stop annoying me every morning, I'll put it up.

You're acting too smart. What do you think you're doing?

Brushing.

I meant what are you doing with your life?

'My name is Adi. I'm a musician.'

'My dream is to be a DJ someday.'

'I'm working as an assistant to a DJ at a club.'

Hey, go get me a beer.

Beer. Chilled.

Okay.

One beer, please.

If you're free on one of the weekdays,

please give my playlist a listen.

Today's Thursday, man.

I didn't even have non-veg.

Bring minced meat tomorrow.

Also your regular, spiced rice.

Get some curry on the side. Let it boil all the way.

-And pack everything before you leave. -Sure, bro.

Good boy. Be careful.

You know the equipment. Take care.

As*hole!

'One day, I'll play when everyone's listening.'

-Welcome, Mr. Sai Aditya! -It's Adi.

Tell your dad that the minced meat is full of bones.

Pull them out, dude. Who will figure it out?

If I rely on you and your dad, I'll end up begging on the streets.

Here. Get your dad's signature on this.

'The life I lead is pretty simple.'

'But I can't settle for that.'

'Nobody believes that I can do something big.'

'I'll change that.'

It's 12:30 in the afternoon. Who the hell wakes up so late?

On top of that, you want your own room, as if you're preparing for civils.

What did you achieve by waking up at 5 AM?

One word about him and you come to his rescue.

You think food and shelter are available for free?

One has to wake up early and grind.

He studied all night and also went to work.

He'll get a hike soon. Why do you keep breathing down his neck?

A good job is that which brings you a good pension when you retire.

Otherwise, he'll end up becoming a butcher like me.

Every father prays that his son doesn't end up like him.

But it's your son after all. Not Legend Ashoka's, right?

To hell with that logic.

Having fun with the punches, huh?

As if you hail from the Nizam dynasty.

Remember, your dad owns Saraswathi Wines.

He ends up drinking more than the customers.

Hey! Don't bring my dad into this.

We're doing well because of him.

Your dad left a heap of debt in your name and my dad cleared it.

I don't want to talk to you!

-Baba Adi... -Hmm?

Take those off. I have something to tell you.

I was bad at studies too.

I was roaming aimlessly in my 20s too.

But this can't go on for life.

Don't tell me to calm down. I'll hit you. Now, listen.

I'm giving you 6 months time to get a proper job.

Otherwise, I'll make you mince meat in our shop.

We don't need a DJ in the house.

To hell with you, man!

Wow! Just wow!

Smells delicious, mom!

Where's the spiced rice?

Sorry, mom.

I thought he likes the taste.

But I guess he got used to it. He wants it again and again.

I don't know much about your work drama.

I'm doing as much as I can.

I just hope that he's of some use to you.

Are you seriously drinking in the evening?

-I couldn't drink in the afternoon. -Here you go.

-What's that? -The bill.

Give me that.

Why don't you get me a car? It's too hot out there.

What else? A bungalow? A gold plated commode?

-Why are you being so cheap, daddy? -Don't 'daddy' me.

Get yourself a new daddy.

That sounds sweet. Let's get ourselves sugar daddies.

I have sugar (diabetes). I count as a sugar daddy too.

Oh, my god!

By the way, you owe me a commission.

You got this deal because I work at the club.

As if this is deal is worth millions. To hell with it!

If you don't want it, I'll get going then.

Why are you having whiskey when you're diabetic?

Have brandy with cloves.

I'll die no matter what I drink.

Adi, your dad wants brandy.
