Guilty

I'll ask you again.

Where were you on Wednesday, February 14th, 2018?

You've kept me here for over four hours.

Stop playing at 'True Detective'.

How can I remember something that happened a year ago?

Please answer the question, Tashi.

The same question again?

- Do I have to look at the camera? - Yeah.

On February 14th, 2018, I was in college.

It was St. Martin's Founder's Day,

Asif Shaikh was performing.

And everyone was there.

The rest of the band members?

What about them?

What were they doing?

What do college kids do at concerts?

Everyone was smashed.

Tashi, I hope you realize that you're all over 18.

No longer 'kids' in the eyes of the law.

When did you last see Vijay and her together?

Can you turn off the camera?

Sorry man, can't.

Look, dude, it's pretty simple.

Our bro's a decent guy,

and that bitch is a whore.

This is MeToo being misused, to its full power.

Listen, now that my lips...

- My man! - What's up?

- I'm good. How are you? - Good. Yeah, how is it going?

- How are you? - I'm using "silence" again.

- Thank you so much for this. - Thank you, sir.

Listen.

- Our man can never pull this off. - Of course he can.

It's not that difficult also.

He can't become Freddy Mercury.

Anyone can be anyone they want.

- Like in Metamorphosis. - What?

By Kafka.

Who fucked who?

Pass me the doob...

Listen. bro.

It's your composition. Your lyrics.

Why don't you sing it this time?

If you've the balls, then say it to VJ's face?

VJ's sycophant.

Stop screwing with him.

VJ scares the shit out of him.

And you love sucking up to him, right, KP?

Are you still in high school?

Ten days left for Transcend Fest submission.

- Exactly. - We still don't have a scratch..

Put it on my tab.

Just saying.

Nanki. My smoke!

Are we having a jam session?

- Do you know what you are, Tashi? - What?

You're VJ's balls.

The left one.

If I am VJ's balls, then you're my pubes...

- Asshole. - What shit.

- Nanki. What's up? - What's up?

I heard you stopped attending union meetings.

Been busy, Jha.

Actually, we need an interview for the student union's newsletter.

Can you help?

I'll speak to VJ.

No, not VJ.

We want to do an article on the songwriter of Doobydoo Crew.

You see, our star reporter, Arnab here

- is all set to write a fantastic report. - Very eager.

Nice try, but that's not going to happen.

VJ... VJ, stop it! Put me down!

VJ, stop it!

- The problem with you is you're too slow. - stop it.

Foucault's theory of power

What may I ask are you doing, Mr. Vijay Pratap Singh?

Sorry, sir.

Nanki Dutta, the future Rhodes scholar from our prestigious institution..

was found in a state of utter distress in the corridor.

I simply had to don my cape for the greater good of the college

and save our invaluable asset, Ms. Dutta.

And what distress could Ms. Dutta possibly be in

within these hallowed halls of St.Martins and under our watchful eye?

So, you see, I scooped her away from the evil clutches

of the diabolical debating society.

Sir, trust me you've no idea

how traumatising it is to be harassed by college intellectuals

#MeToo

All right, settle down, settle down.

So, let's get back to what we were talking about.

Foucauldian theory of power in the...

See? I even convinced your local guardian.

No more sneaking out.

Wow, my hero.

New tattoo?

- Show. - Stop it.

- Come on. - Stop it, he's looking.

And I thought you were not that into me.

I am not.

Yeah.

What could the V possibly be for?

Virginia Woolf.

...and other political theory.

Miss Dutta.

What was the last thing I said?

Dr. Roy, we were studying the Foucauldian theory of... power.

Why don't you come and sit down over here at the first row?

Come.

Sit. Right here in front.

So, the Foucauldian theory of power in the context of feminist literature..

Man, I'll be honest with you.

VJ, never really had to try hard.

It does not make sense, right?

The coolest girl in college was already his girlfriend.

And she definitely had the feels for him.

And her...?

Did she have these "feels" for him?

It was different with her.

She's a fuck girl.

"Out, out, brief candle!"

"Life's but a walking shadow,"

"a poor player, that struts and frets its hour upon the stage.."

Judges...

"and then is heard no more."

- Not applicable. - "It is a tale told by an idiot,"

"filled with sound and fury,"

- "signifying nothing." - Why are these guys performing today?

Hello, friends.

- Oh, hi. - DRAM SOC, hi, what's up?

Fuck off, please. Thank you very much.

Wait!

"Out, out, brief candle. Life's but a walking shadow."

"A poor player that struts and frets its hour upon the stage..."

- I said fuck off. - "signifying nothing."

And with that, Mr. Shakespeare, Tanu Kumar signing off.

VJ!

VJ,

unfortunately, I cannot join your band.

I've joined Kerbie's band.

And I am going to perform on stage.

You really love to perform, don't you?

- Come on, show me what you got. - Don't be an asshole. Let it go.

Should I escort you to Dhanbad now?

Should I?

"The poet tells an ancient tale

about a girl's lustful coming-of-age story.

What a delicate face o lord!

But her vagina was a bottomless fjord.

Small, fat...

short or long."

Bro, has she lost her mind.

"Hand her an electric rod.

Whatever the world could tender,

had not the might to bend her.

A sage then found something worth.

An elephant's hooked tooth handy in girth.

He shoved it in her steaming engine.

She rode it like a train in motion.

Moments and hours passed unbridled.

All her troubles fell by idle,

when she screamed in ecstasy,

'I am coming,

I am coming,

I am coming,

I am coming,

Don't stop, keep going,

I am still coming.'"

Can we practice?

You know the difference between a girl and a 'girl'.

So she was a bit like... that.

Yeah.

Like what?

An easy rider.

Bro, you look like Storm

from the X-Men.

I mean it's not exactly white.

It's a bit grey.

And you're exactly an asshole.

What do you think of the word 'Sargoshiyaan' (whispers)?

Whispers...

But how will this fit in the meter of the song?

What the fuck! You don't even listen.

- How are you, bro? - My professor screwed me.

Give me a smoke. What are you doing?

Nice change.

What about her look?

Shall we tell them best of luck?

I'll be back.

Hey, VJ!

When is it?

- Happy V Day. - What's up, bro.

I am performing today as well.

Opening act.

Watch me!

I'm gonna slay.

She's gonna 'slay'.

Of course, we're going to watch.

VJ, listen up.

You can even come backstage with me.

Interesting, but we've band practice. So let's go.
