Aafat-e-Ishq (आफत-ए-इश्क)

I...

I am the red fairy.

Cursed

Doom is my Destiny

for I am the all-consuming fire to the moths that I attract.

Scared you?... Let it be...

Let's tell you a not so simple story of an old house in a little city...

...where lived an innocent, naive, and beautiful girl.

Her name was Lallo.

She had no one to cuddle up to.

An orphan since birth.

But as the saying goes...

When you've no one to turn to, there's always the ghost.

"Lover singing a song..."

"Is it love or is it a crime?"

"She has never seen joy..."

"...because she ignores her heart."

"The one blessed with this nature..."

"...and a luck that's rotten."

"You always hit a new low..."

"...when you're possessed..."

"...when you're possessed..."

"...when you're possessed by the ghost of love."

"...when you're possessed by the ghost of love."

Atmaram Kishore.

The world-famous singer of our town

One hit wonder. But also one-hit surrender.

Poor thing...his soul stuck to his phone when he died.

Lallo's parents bid her farewell when she was young.

Do you know where Lallo and Atmaram met?

At the crematorium.

Whenever the song plays, his spirit appears.

One more thing...

Except for Lallo, no one else can see Atmaram.

Lallo has two more friends in the neighbourhood.

Suhani from the parlour.

And the son of the parlour owner Pratap.

Lallo madam, mission accomplished.

Here's your identity card.

Thank you, Pratap.

Please use your right hand.

Lallo is technologically challenged

...And Pratap always comes to rescue her.

But they both hesitate

- to take their acquaintance further. - Pratap, at least have a cup of tea.

Another time maybe.

The future is waiting for me.

And this is me.

The angle's not right and I am looking weird

Paralysis and asthma.

Nothing can keep me away from fashion.

There's no way I won't get my eyebrow done.

I just call Suhani from the parlour downstairs.

Take a look, aunty.

I've to go downstairs and open the parlour.

Otherwise, aunty will start screaming at me...

O image in the mirror.... do you see

Even the mirror is looking at you in awe.

Bravo.

If my husband was here, he would say...

...the ruins indicate that the building was once robust.

'His eyes closed as he took a bite into the warm, melting mozzarella'

'And when he opened them...'

'...his love was there in front of him smiling.'

'Her face resting in her hands and watching him in intent adoration.'

Lallo's a sight to watch today.

Because she believes her fate is about to change,

Just like in her favourite book, 'The Ship of my Dreams'.

You know, Atma, how many boyfriends Suhani has?

And I can't even say hi to anyone.

Did you feel bad?

Sorry.

- I look much more beautiful. - Aunt,

you look stunning even today.

Tea is here.

I need my bed tea to wake up

Aunty...

Put the money on my tab.

She keeps asking about the money.

If we start keeping tabs on aunty's account, then we're doomed.

Lallo...??

What can I comment on Lallo's fate?

She's got her hands full dealing with a ghost, a spirit...

...and sick old me.

I've told her several times that she doesn't have to be alone.

At least find a handsome prince for yourself.

Thank God Lallo loves her books and stories

Her imagination helps distract her from real life

Two hours?

Is there a carnival in town that you need two hours?

I want to know.

There you go grinning again

I think you've been possessed by some ghost or spirit.

If I ever find him...

...I'll first twist his nose.

Then pick him up from his ears using pincers.

And throw him in a vessel of hot oil... boiling oil.

And fry him like a kebab.

Aunty...I...It's my birthday today.

You know I can't stay two minutes without you.

Why do you need two hours?

Because, aunty...I turned 30 today, so I...

No means no. There I've said it.

Turning 30 isn't an achievement like Olympic Gold

Turned 30,she says...

There you go with your tears again.

Okay, fine. Come here.

Laliya, I am telling you something.

Come here, Lalli my pony.

See what I have for you

You didn't think I really forgot your birthday, did you?

All this makeup isn't for nothing.

I had already told Suhani about the cake yesterday.

Look...

do you like my kebab cake?

It's lovely.

God bless you. God bless you.

I know what you’re doing

You're using me as an excuse to eat food that's not allowed.

I don't eat fried things every day.

Come here. Look what I got you.

This is from your collection of perfumes.

There was no need for this...

You need it

Young buds must spread their fragrance.

Dilip sir gave this to me very fondly.

I pray this perfume brings sprays love and joy to your life.

May you spread your fragrance in all seasons.

God bless you and your future family.

Do you want me to go on and on?

Now, will you cut the cake and feed me...

- ...or just keep watching? - Yes...

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday dear Laliya.

Happy birthday to you.

Dilip was the one who brought Lallo home.

He was always helping others.

He was a good man, bless him.

But I could never make sense of his hobby...

...which was collecting dead butterflies and caterpillars.

God knows what he did, and why?

Well, I guess it was just a hobby.

Aatma, you must be 27-years-old?

And look at me.

I went from 20 to 30 with you

And you're still 27-years-old.

What luck.

No fear of old age, forever young

How am I looking?

Lallo would look for books in her reality...

...and reality in her books.

And she was obsessed with this one book

The book said 30 is her year to find love

And she was ready at 30.

The place in the book was McNow so she set out for McNow.

"Welcome to McNow..."

One lemon soda free,

with one veg hamburger.

Have a good day.

Hello, madam. Welcome to McNow

How can I be of service to you?

One mozzarella cheese crosant.

Sorry ma'am, but that's croissant.

Yes, that.

How am I looking?

You would've said the fire died long ago, dear.

It's me who is still keeping the sparks alive.

Remember that song...

"O, my lover..."

"I will never be..."

These two idiot sisters always come in the frame.

Why don't you come a little closer?

Fine, I'll move a little.

"But in your court, I..."

Lallo!

- 'Everything happened just' - Excuse me,

but can I park my backside on this seat.

Thank you.

Don't you live in area pin code 226003?

Yes...

By the way, myself Birender Mishra.

Currently posted in GPO.

I am starving.

Wow...

'Everything happened just like I imagined it...'

Watching him eat his burger satisfied my hunger'

''and my cheese croissant lay there getting cold.'

'Has fate brought him to me?'

'Or is it just a coincidence?'

'The answer to this question can solve all the mysteries of..'

- Hello, Mr. Mishra... - Kusum.

Kusum, you bring the sunshine inside

Actually I was looking for you inside.

Where inside? In your heart.

'Lallo didn't find her prince charming on her 30th birthday'

But she didn't find alive either'

Oh, God. These two Kismet, Rehmet are back wearing their favourite purple dress.

Did you take the phone?

Bloody scavengers, will you loot everything?
