- Sounds good... Checking focus.
- Roll sound!

Yeah.
- Great... Let's start!

5 years 4 big songs
...all hits and all non-film
Congratulations!
Thanks... and thanks to all of you.
- The lyrics of your
songs are by a certain...
- Saba Taliyar Khan...
...and she's a lesser
known poet. Right?
We had a very special relationship...
A
- Past tense! And now?
She's a really good friend...
- And all your songs hint at
LI
unrequited loved... Does that mean...
No. No. No...
My love isn't unfulfilled...
- And still... unrequited?
I'd only heard of the
power of one-sided love...
Now I understand it.
Does this love have a name?
What kind of hug was that?!
- Means?
- 'Mmmmm.
I wasn't aware that
hugs had standards.
WA
Listen... save these sentimental
Z
hugs for your family...
...not girls you're hooking up with!
And what was that kiss!
YA
Excuse me!
All my ex-girlfriends say
I'm a great kisser!
Really... People will say
anything these days...
Great kisser...
RE
A
No way!
Short or skimpy?
Both. She showed up
LI
in a bikini, I swear!
Man... It's up to her!
You stink of male chauvinism!
Are you saying it's my fault?!
I know too many boys like you!
You're so judgmental!
Happily judgmental!
Now... If you're done.
Can we get out of here?
Where to?
Bar hopping!
With me?
Well. I'm not going alone!
WA
Okay. Let's go!
Z
Let's go!
We haven't been properly introduced!
My name is Alizeh Khan...
YA
A
You don't look the
the business type!
Another one of your Daddy's dreams?
LI
Don't you have a dream of your own?
I...
What? Is it illegal?
I want to sing.
Sing!
But my voice won't help
my father's company... so...
Sink it, maybe!
- Hey!
- Sorry WA
I sing really well! Lots of people
think I sing like Mohammed Rafi...
Shall I sing for you?
What did I ever do to you?
Z
And doesn't Mohammed Rafi
always sound like he's crying?
What's better than crying?
YA
- I wish!
Do you do anything but talk?
Or do you rip apart
men's ego's for a living?
Please... I'm really busy!
Sometimes I do yoga...
SH
Buddhist chanting...
I'm learning French...
Bollywood Dance class.
Sometimes...
Like the wind.
I'm everywhere...
My name is registered
in any and every course.
But this register
has someone else's name.
Who's Ali?
Nobody.
Hello. Ali... Who you?
Let me go. He's no one!
- Look the train is here.
- Who is Ali?
Who is Ali?
My apocalypse.
I was studying in Lucknow
when I first met Ali...
The sexy, smoldering, deep DJ Ali...
It was like music
was a part of his soul...
He was as absorbed in his music...
as I was in him.
I thought we were in love...
he never bothered to correct me.
But, in truth,
he was the love of my life...
...and I was just his habit.
So, what Happened?
What could happen?
He found another habit...
Decided that was love.
She was this goddamned
beautiful air hostess...
She showed him where
her emergency exits were...
...and that was that.
And me and my broken
A
heart found our way to London.
But you still love him?
That question makes me feel weak...
LI
So thank God for Dr. Faisal...
At least he's nice to look at...
- Great distraction!
My Lisa is very, very hot.
What do you mean 'very hot'?
Very hot.
Wanna bet?
Bet what?
Come on...
I bet mine's hotter than yours.WA
Done! Double date... tomorrow night?
It's on.
What if I win?
Then I'll let you kiss me again...
Z
But you won't win!
Shall we?
I'm very drunk...
YA
Crooked!
I'll make you an
offer you can't refuse.
I see... Can you offer me
your address?
- Wine?
- Yes. Please.
Two. Please.
Hi! I'm looking for Alizeh Khan...
Hi!
Doctor Faisal!
Alizeh...
Lisa!
Hi guys!
I'm Lisa D'souza.
But you can call me Lisa.
That's your first name...

Exactly!

Stop touching me right now!
Come on; Let's get a cab...
Baby... don't cry...

You have to admit...

Not again!
Why are you getting annoyed?

Stop it!

Hi, bro!
Alizeh...
Weds...
Ayan!
Ayan!
You're spinning like a top!
You're seriously like Mohd. Rafi!
I was wrong about you, man!
You really can sing!

Follow your dreams!
Not like you can't afford to!
Today you sang such...
Pain?
Love?

Tell me, Alizeh...
Did I sing with love today?
Who was it for?
Who was it for.
Should I tell you?

I love you. Alizeh.
I love you...
I'm madly in love with you.
And now. It's too late...
Now, I want that DJ Ali
to die in the wedding procession...
And from that shock,
I want you to die, too.
If I can't have you. No one can.

Actually, fantastic!
Without a lover in his arms,
what else is a man to do...

Ah, Natural...

You could have shown

Let the one who is lost.
Find his own way...
SH
I hate you.
A little... no, a lot.
Such hatred... so soon?
Give me a chance...
Hating you is
completely justified...
Because I still love Saba...
I gave your love a chance...
It's time for you to
give my friendship a chance.
Isn't that hard?
- What?
To love someone...
who doesn't love you in return?
It's the most beautiful
feeling in the world...
- Doesn't it make you feel weak?
- Not at all.
There's nothing like
the power of unrequited love...
Unlike other bonds,
It isn't shared...
It's mine...
and mine alone.
For a love like this,
I don't need Saba to love her...
There's no better love than that...
"If you gamble in
the name of love..."
Stake whatever you put,
Not to fear?
"How wonderful if you win..."
"Even if you lose...
all is not lost."
Don't hang up!
Hello?
Hello?
Shit!
- Hello?

Where the hell are you?!
I've been trying to call you forever!

What did you think I'd do?
Walk you down the aisle?
Did you marry him?
Yeah... I did.
Congratulations!
Now you're Mrs. DJ Ali!
Must be stuck on
him like headphones...
Ayan, stop your crap
before I hang up.
Hello!
You don't scare me!
Control yourself!

Flowers? Thorns? Nothing?

Saba!

Alizeh.
Welcome home...
- So Alizeh...
YA
- Not at all!
Give our intelligence its due!
Wine?
Maybe later...
Oh, okay...
But, Saba...
Beauty like yours often
overshadows intelligence...
Ask those of us who
live off our personality...
Beauty fades, Alizeh...
But Death, himself,
can't kill personality...
Wow... So the poetry
really was yours!
I thought Ayan was just
copying it off the internet!
If it weren't for poetry...
...I'd have died a thousand
living deaths already...
Cheese?
Will I sound phony
if I praise you some more?
Not at all...
Please go ahead...
No judgments!
Pictures do you no justice...
You're even more
beautiful in person.
Oh, so those pictures
were to show you...
To make her jealous...
...but why waste
envy on the resentful?
Wow, Ayan...
Saba, looks like you've
had an influence...
A little bit of it...
A little bit to go.
Well. It's not envy...
A
But you can't sing
to a mute person...
...and expect them
LI
not to feel inferior!
Speaking of singing...
This is my favorite song...
"O lover, don't ask me
to love like I did before..."
O lover, don't ask me...
To love like I did before.
Dinner?
Bread?
Why didn't you bring Ali?
He had a concert... 50...
DJ Ali's super busy, you see...

Why do you keep calling him that?
Like it's an insult...

Not at all!..
Who doesn't dream of making
people dance on their fingertips?

It's broken me once before...

Please don't try to
change my mind...

We can't choose who
to fall in love with...
RE

Your love was so strong that
mine couldn't live up to it.
What else have I ever done...

and fell in love.
You're fortunate...
Not everyone can love
so faithfully...
How's Alizeh doing?
You're serious?
You don't know?
I don't know... what?
Congratulations, man...
She left me.
Maybe I couldn't love
her the way she wanted me to...
WA
I haven't seen her in two years...
Z
Even her parents
haven't heard from her.
Last I heard, she was in London.
YA

'This is my happy place!'

and left you destroyed.
This can't be happening. Alizeh...
Well... It's happened.
LI
I thought I was so cool...
Love turned me
into such a loser.
Ali was making me act insane...
From checking his phone.
To following him around...
- I'd stopped being his wife
to act like a parole officer.
I can't even really complain...
I was even willing
to overlook the cheating...
Thankfully...
I finally gathered the
WA
last shreds of my dignity...
Z
...and left him.
- I decided that my husband does
not control my self-worth.
YA
A
anyway... let the Starship Enterprise fly!
We're young, we're free
and we're ready...

...to let the freak flag fly...
...with Jolly Good Bollywood!
Your tea, madam!
Careful, it's hot!
- Did it burn you?
- A little...
- Hi...
- Hi!
Ayan...
Sorry... WA
Actually. Sorry but I'm not sorry.
What do you want from me?
What do I do?
You think I'm dying
Z
to sleep with you...
I'm dying for you to love me...
I've tried everything...
YA
A
Go...
Get out of here...
Go.
LI
I can't explain this to you anymore...
If you can't understand. Just leave...
Take your stuff and get out!
Get out!
Get out. Ayan!
Alizeh...
Alizeh, I'm sorry...
It's a strange story...
of Love and Friendship.
Love, the hero...
and Friendship, the heroine.
The awful thing is that
WA
Love never understood Friendship.
'I do love you, Ayan...
Z
Just not the way you want me to.'
- 'Love is passion...'
- '...but friendship is peace.'
YA
understand my love...'
When Love realised that Friendship
is leaving him forever... He ran.
And how he ran.
In taxis...
Heathrow Airport!
In trains...
He ran!
He didn't stop to breathe...
Because Love knew...
Friendship was about to breathe her last...
And he wanted to be with
her 'til her last moments.
That was Love's right.
I need to get to BA 109!
I'm sorry, the gate closed
20 minutes ago!
Has the flight taken off'?
It's about to go!
- Hello?
- Alizeh!
I'm at the airport!
I'm here!
Please don't go Alizeh. Please stay!
Ayan. I'm taking off.
Hello?
Alizeh...
You can't die...
- Ma'am, keep that oxygen mask on.
Alizeh. Listen to him...
Put it back.
Ayan...
I'm acting, I'm not really dying...
Don't react... We'll get caught.
How else do you runaway
from a runway?
Cancer's got to have some perks...
You came to the airport, Ayan...
You fulfilled my dream!
Alizeh, I'm sorry for last night...
A
Friendship doesn't know
sorry's and thank you's...
I swear I'll never trouble
LI
you about this again...
Because, Ayan...
It's a lot like love!
I friend you.
I friend you, too.
I friend you for life...
I friend you, too'
for whatever life is left.
Come, now, sing something...
Anything you like... I'm sick!
