EXT. UNDER A BRIDGE - NEAR FERN HOTEL -- EVENING

(For this scene - 16 MM - Orange tint - One shot)

SUPER IMPOSE : JAN / 2019 ( AHMEDABAD )

There is no one under the bridge, except one boy who is

sittin’ on a bench whilst eatin’ a burrito wrapped in a white
paper. Meet Luv ( 21 / Olive complexion / Lean built ) - a
pretty boy with a broken smile on his face. Orange light of
sun is still glimmerin’ across the sky.

Luv looks in front and smiles for no reason. There is

somethin’ poignant in his smile, but he shakes off the
sadness on his face real quick, and widen his eyes whilst
smilin’ in a happy manner. Luv starts walkin’ towards the eye
of the camera which is capturin’ him in the action. Luv walks
on the other end. Luv eventually gets so close that he eats
up the whole frame. Luv then let goes off the eye of the
camera and the darkness is gone once again. Luv smiles again
like a kid. Luv then throws the buritto in his hand whilst
cleanin’ his mouth a little.

LUV (V.O.)
Hello ! Mera naam luv hai aur meh
biss saal ka hu aur pichle umm...
kuch salon seh, takriban akele ji
raha hu. Par yeh matt samjna ki
meh, you know.. hila hua hu.
(sad chuckle)
But it’s just that log mujhe samaj
meh nai aate .. Ya unhe meh samaj
meh nai aata ..toh meh kitabein,
gano aur filmon keh sath you know
.. ashiqui ladata hu. Aur phir jab
unse tang aa jata hu toh phir yaha
vaha gumta hu akela.
Mere gin ke ek ya doh dost hai ..
Usme seh ek seh meh baat nai karta
utni.. Toh tehcnically sirf ek dost
hai mera. Par meh jabhi bahar jata
hu toh meh koshish karta hu, to
have a bloody good time. Aur haa...
kafi mazeddar hote hai woh
khusnaseeb lamhe jab meh logo keh
aur khud keh bhi chehre peh doh pal
ke liye muskan la pata hu. Par yeh
sab shuru hua ek ladki ki vajah
seh.
 2.

Luv then moves in the middle, standin’ on the railway lines.

Luv takes out his mini note pad and starts writin’ somethin’
real quick, he then puts back the mini note pad in his
pocket. Luv then looks at the sun, he swallows a lump whilst
lookin’ at the sun, his eyes start to get little wet whilst
lookin’ at the sun.

LUV (V.O.)
Voh meri pehli girlfiend thi,
Karish. Meh aur voh humesha sath
meh sunsets dekha karte the.
Karish keh jane keh baad meri halat
pata nai din bha din battar hoti
gayi, usseh bhulane keh liye mene
sari koshishien ki. Meh ek seh ek
ajeebo gareeb chize karne laga, iss
ummeed meh ki kabhi na kabhi meh
usseh bhula pauga. Par phir dhire
dhire mujhe yeh sari ajeebo gareeb
chize karne meh itna maza aane laga
ki abb meh yeh duniya seh bahar
nahi aana chata hu. Ek pagal
sarfire ki tarah idhar udhar gumna
mujhe pasand sa aane laga hai,
akelepan seh ishq kar betha hu meh
abb.
(Luv keeps starin’ at
sunset whilst twistin’
his jaw a little)
Sunset, isseh haseen lamha aur koi
nai. Har din isika intezzar hota
hai mujhe. Koi iske pyar ke liye
nai tarasta. Koi iske deedar ke
liye nai tarasta. Jabhi bhi meh
sunset dekta hu, toh mujhe anadaza
lagjata hai, ki abb mere sare dard
kam hojayege.
Kyonki iss ke baad andhera
chajayega. Aur phir puri raat chand
ke sath aayashi ladate hue nikal
jayegi. Aur raat koi nai chin sakta
mujhse. Koi bhi nai. Raat meri hai.

EXT. ROAD OPPOSITE FERN HOTEL -- EVENING

The day will end soon. Still the orange light is glimmerin’
across the sky. Luv is on his Honda Dio - two wheeler (
drivin’ ). Luv then see the fern hotel’s decoration.
Beautiful flowers all over the building.

Luv can’t help himself. Luv pulls over his Dio real quick and
grabs his pocket camera ( Sony - cyber shot ). Luv then
starts shootin’ the building’s beauty.
 3.

Luv then starts to walk further whilst shootin’. Luv walks

little further, he is now standin’ in the middle of the road.
But this road is usually not that busy, so one can get away
with standin’ in the middle of the road for few a minute or
two.

Luv is lookin’ in his camera’s display panel passionately.

Now comes this beautiful girl on her scooty. Luv has no clue.
The beautiful girl arrives and honks her horn at Luv. Luv
looks at the beautiful girl and swallows a lump. Luv just
keeps starin’ at the beautiful girl. The beautiful girl looks
at Luv and puckers her eyebrows. The beautiful girl honks her
horn again. Luv just stands there whilst lookin’ at her,
captivated by her beauty. The beautiful girl shakes her head
and drives around Luv. Luv just keeps starin’ at the
beautiful girl. Luv breathes a little. Luv looks little sad
as the beautiful girl takes a right & disappears from his
sight. Luv bites his lower lip a little whilst lookin’ little
sad.

LUV (V.O.)
Bass yahi ek cheez hai jo kabhi nai
milti mujhe. Kisi vishkanya ka
undivided attention, pyar.
(chuckles)
Par milega bhi kese uske liye ghar
seh bahar nikalna padta hai. Uske
liye uni ya college join karni
padti hai. Uske liye dost bana neh
padte hai. Aur mujhse yeh sab nai
ho pata. Even though.. Iss saal toh
iss jaduyi duniya koh chor kar asli
duniya meh jana hee padega. Par.. I
wish ki humesha issi tarah akela
gumta rahu, khurafati cheezien
karta rahu. But, first love ka
hangover abhi bhi nai utara mere
sarr seh. Usski jagah sirf koi
special ladki hi le payegi. Aur
zydatar ladkiya.. you know, not so
special hoti hai. Anyways..
(exhales a deep breathe)

Luv slowly looks up to the sky. Luv then grabs his Marlboro
pack and gets one cigarette outta it. Luv lights it up real
quick with his lighter. Luv then takes a deep puff. Luv then
chuckles for no particular reason.

EXT. ROAD - FOOTPATH NEAR THE GH - 4 PARK -- EVENING

SUPER IMPOSE : April / 2017 ( GANDHINAGAR )

 4.

Luv is sittin’ on his Dio with his friend, Pranshu ( decent

lookin’, one year older than Luv, but still Luv is more
strident than him). Dio is parked near the footpath. Both of
them are lookin’ pretty relaxed.

PRANSHU
(lookin’ at luv)
Nai mazak nai kar raha meh.
Rickshaw ka teesra paiya upar
hogaya tha.

Luv shakes his head whilst blowin’ out the tobacco smoke
outta his smoke. Luv chuckles.

LUV
(smilin’)
Rickshwale. Kamine sale kai peh bhi
gus jate hai. Kuch bol bhi nai
sakte varna pura auto union hath
meh dande aur chaku leke nikal
aayega support meh.

Pranshu chuckles a bit. But then all of a sudden Luv’s

attention goes to a beautiful girl on a activa (with two
other chicks sittin’ on the backseat of the activa). Luv just
stares at the beautiful girl (the one in the front, drivin’
whilst sportin’ a green t shirt & black jeans, she has a pale
complexion, a sharp yet adorable nose). Luv keeps starin’ at
the beautiful girl, the one with in the green tshirt, she
takes a turn to the right and disappears outta Luv’s sight.
Luv is lovestruck.

LUV (CONT’D)
(whilst lookin’ at the
green tshirt’s wali
girl’s direction)
Kya ladki hai yar. Isseh toh hi
hello bolna hee padega.

Pranshu shakes his head. Pranshu isn’t the romantic one, he

is little conservative, the one who believes in followin’ the
rigid societal norms.

PRANSHU
Nai dande padege. Rehne de. Aur abb
tak toh usne aadha kilometre nikal
diya hoga almost, nai chase kar
payege. Bhul ja romeo.

Luv shakes his head. Luv starts to prepare himself. Luv

whilst holdin’ a cigarette in his hand, starts to get his Dio
ready for some high octane chase. Pranshu arranges himself on
the backseat and holds the flat back handle for the some
support.
 5.

Luv takes a quick puff outta his cigarette and throws the
cigarette on the ground real quick. Luv starts the Dio by
usin’ the self start and rams the handle over & over as tho
he is on some sort of a sport bike.

PRANSHU (CONT’D)
Bail keh pese pade haina tere pass?

Luv smirks. Luv then accelerates like hell, off his Dio goes.
Luv is already rammin’ the handle to the max, in order to
achieve the maximum speed. Pranshu is little scared.

PRANSHU (CONT’D)
Bhai dhire seh chala, Ismeh balance
bhi kuch khas nai hota !

LUV
(whilst drivin’)
Chup beth, distract matt kar mujhe
abhi!

Luv cuts a car comin’ at him real fast whilst drivin’. Luv
then accelerates real fast. Pranshu looks back and shakes his
head as he sees the car owner lookin’ little scared. Pranshu
then turns his head forward.

PRANSHU
Chorna yeh sab, chali gai hogi ab
tak voh yar!

Luv slows down a little. Luv takes a turn to the left. Luv
then rams the handle, the Dio picks up the speed once again.
Luv keeps drivin’ like hell. Luv then slows down a little as
another turn comes in front of him. Luv then takes a turn to
the right. Luv then raves the Dio real fast. But Luv then
quickly slows down his Dio a little as the he realizes that
there’s little traffic in front of him.

EXT. ROAD OPPOSITE FORTUNE HOTEL -- EVENING

Luv is drivin’ little slow cause the traffic is little hectic

right now, at least near the fortune hotel. Luv still
maneuvers like a pro even in the midst of this hectic
traffic. Vehicles are movin’, but in a slow manner. Luv is
tryin’ to get in the front as fast as he could manage. Luv
has his eyes locked on the beautiful girl’s black activa. Luv
keeps movin’ forward, takin’ cuts here & there, leavin’ cars
behind him. Luv then takes a deep breathe as his Dio starts
to arrive near the beautiful girl’s activa.

Luv rams the accelerator handle real quick as a car tries to

come between him & the beautiful girl’s activa. Pranshu feels
the sudden jolt of the gravity.
 6.

Pranshu grabs the seat whilst hittin’ his leg. The beautiful
girl’s activa moves a little faster as the traffic in front
of her eases up a little bit. Luv keeps drivin’, tryna catch
up with the beautiful girl’s black activa.

PRANSHU
Bhai mujhe utarde. Mujhe nai marna.

LUV
Pagal hogaya hai beh. Pau matt marr
Dio par. Balance kaharb hoga toh
dono girege. Bass pahuch hi rahe
hai abb. Sidha beth doh minute.

Luv has his eyes on the target - green tshirt wali ladki. Luv
is maneuverin’ thru the heavy traffic real quick. We can see
little nervousness on Luv’s face as he realizes that he is
gettin’ closer to the green tshirt wali ladki’s black activa.
Luv arrives near the beautiful girl’s black activa. Luv slows
down his Dio real quick. Luv’s Dio is just a tad apart from
the beautiful girl’s black activa. Luv is almost beside the
beautiful girl’s black activa. Luv looks at the beautiful
girl, the one who is wearin’ the green tshirt & drivin’ the
activa.

LUV (CONT’D)
Hello !

The beautiful girl drivin’ the activa ( green tshirt wali )

looks at Luv.

LUV (CONT’D)
(deadpan)
Khubsurat dikti ho aap.

The beautiful girl in the green tshirt ( drivin’ activa )

looks shocked at first, but then smiles a little. Luv starts
to smile at her whilst bitin’ his lower lip. Luv knows that
he has scored a point in her heart. Pranshu starts to clap
his thighs whilst sittin’ on the Dio’s backseat, tryin’ to
tell Luv to leave quickly. Luv smiles one last time at the
beautiful girl and rams the accelerator’s handle. Luv leaves
the green tshirt wali girl & her black activa far behind.
Pranshu starts laughin’. Luv has a smug look on his face.

PRANSHU
(laughin’)
Kisi din tu pakka marwayega mujhe
kamine. Woh smile de rahi thi
tujhe, what the fuck ?

Luv is smilin’ whilst drivin’. Pranshu then looks back.

 7.

PRANSHU (CONT’D)
Beh kya mazak hai ? Humari hee side
aa rahi hai beh.

LUV
Toh aane deh, aazad desh hai yeh.

Luv slows down his Dio a little. The black activa passes
Luv’s Dio real quick. The green tshirt wali girl looks back
at Luv and smiles. The other two girl sittin’ on the backseat
of the black activa start to giggle as well. Luv smirks.

LUV (CONT’D)
Bass abb toh nai jane duga isseh.
Puri dheel deh rahi hai.

Luv rams the handle. The Dio starts to catch speed.

PRANSHU
(as luv starts to drive
like a maniac once again)
Bhai nai.. Nai.

Luv sees those girls take a turn near the vegetable market’s
road.

EXT. ROAD NEAR THE VEGETABLE MARKET -- EVENING

The green t shirt wali girl is drivin’. Luv’s Dio arrives in

the green tshirt wali girl’s black activa’s vicinity. Luv’s
Dio arrives closer & closer. Luv now starts to drive side by
side with the green tshirt wali girl’s black activa. Luv
smiles at the green tshirt wali girl. The green tshirt wali
girl smiles whilst shakin’ her head.

LUV
(smilin’)
Dosti karogi mujhse ?

GREEN TSHIRT WALI

(smilin’)
Nai. Bilkul nai.

LUV
(smilin’)
Mere pass ghar hai, ghadi hai,
bangla hai. Aur plus ek iphone bhi
hai, android bhi hai if you’re into
ummm..

GREEN TSHIRT WALI

(smilin’)
Mere pass bhi hai yeh sab.
 8.

Luv is like “That was a brutal take down”. Luv bites his
lower lip whilst smilin’. But Luv’s not backin’ down.

LUV
I mean. Sirf dosti karni hai
tumhare sath.

GREEN TSHIRT WALI

(smilin’)
Kyon karni hai ?

LUV
(flirtin’ game strong)
Yeh pehli baar hua hai mere sath.
Tumhe dekh ke meh khud ko rok nai
paya.. bhawnaon meh beh sa gaya.

GREEN TSHIRT WALI

(smilin’)
Kese vishwas karu ki tum yeh pehli
baar kar rahe ho?

LUV
Well, voh jane keh liye tumhe mujhe
peh chance lena hoga.

Green tshirt wali girl on the activa accelerates her activa.

Luv shakes his head a little.

LUV (CONT’D)
(Loud)
Arey.. Atleast naaam toh bata do.
Naam nai toh instagram id toh bata
do.

Luv is on her tail. Pranshu is little worked up.

PRANSHU
Bhai voh dekh. Uske piche wali
ladki kisi koh phone kar rahi hai.
Police na ho yar ?

LUV
Chill kar. Woh itni welcomin’ nai
hoti agar usseh interest nai hota
mujh meh. Aur kya meh raste ka
chapri dikta hu toh police koh
bulayegi. Chill kar.

Luv keeps followin’ her activa. Luv notices that green tshirt
wali girl is headin’ for the road ( road near the society’s
ground which is used by kids for playin’ cricket ). Luv
smiles and starts to drive fast.
 9.

EXT. VARIOUS ROADS - SECTOR - 2 -- EVENING

Luv reaches close to her black activa. Luv is now drivin’

side by side with the green tshirt wali girl’s activa. Luv
smiles at the green tshirt girl.

LUV
I mean agar tum chahti ho ki meh
chala jau, toh meh chala jauga.

Green tshirt girl smiles a bit.

GREEN TSHIRT WALI

(smilin’)
Haa toh phir chale jaona.

LUV
Aapka hukum sar aakhon peh, madam.

Luv leaves whilst givin’ one last smile. Luv drives real
fast. Luv then takes a right and then left, heads for another
road, a road adjacent to lotta posh houses.

PRANSHU
(whilst lookin’ back)
Woh hass rahi hai. I think usne
kuch bola tujhe.

LUV
Piche aa rahi hai kya ?

PRANSHU
Nai lagta nai. Don’t thinks so.

Luv is drivin’ real slow whilst hopin’ that this beautiful

strange girl would take a chance on him. Pranshu is still
lookin’ back.

PRANSHU (CONT’D)
(loud)
Beh yeh ladki wilayti hai kya ?
Kuch zyada hi bold hai. Woh apne
piche aa rahi hai.

LUV
Mazak kar raha hoga toh sarr phod
duga tera, Pranshu.

Luv turns his head backwards a bit, he notices black activa (

with that pretty white girl wearin’ a green tshirt ) comin’
in his direction. Luv smiles.

LUV (CONT’D)
Bass ladki mil gai samjo.
 10.

Luv parks his Dio ( with the help of the side stand ) near
the edge of the road. Luv then turns around whilst sittin’ on
the Dio’s driver seat.

PRANSHU
(curious)
Kya lagta hai ? Khadi rakhegi idhar
aur baat karegi tujhse.. Haa ?

LUV
(normal expression)
Umeed peh duniya kayam hai.

Luv is starin’ at the green tshirt wali girl, her activa is

arrivin’ closer and closer.

PRANSHU
Aa rahi hai.

LUV
(whilst starin’ at green
tshirt wali ladki)
Dikha mujhe.

Luv’s heart is beatin’ real fast. The black activa arrives

near Luv’s Dio, but instead of slowin’ down, the black activa
keeps movin’ forward. Luv is still on his Dio, with his feet
on the ground. Luv simply observes the green tshirt wali girl
as she moves further & further away from his sight. Luv sees
that she is takin’ a turn, to the right. But somethin’
magical happens, the green tshirt wali girl turns her head a
little, she keeps starin’ at Luv whilst drivin’. Luv just
looks at her, in a hope that she would stop. But the green
tshirt wali girl disappears.

PRANSHU
Chali gai.

Luv looks little annoyed by Pranshu’s live commentary.

LUV
(still lookin’ in the
direction of the green
tshirt wali girl)
Dikha mujhe.

Luv then removes the side stand, prepares for another high
octane chase.

PRANSHU
Beh rehne deh abb. Yeh moh maya
chor abb. Kuch faida nai ?
 11.

Luv pauses a bit whilst hittin’ the self start. Luv bites his
lower lip & takes a deep breathe.

LUV
I had her. Chor, maybe tu sahi hai,
takdir meh bas itni hi lambi
mulakat likhi thi hum dono keh
bich.

Pranshu looks at Luv, Luv is lookin’ little down. Luv is

lookin’ at Dio’s petrol meter whilst sportin’ a sad grin. For
couple of seconds, neither one of the boys utter a single
word outta their respective mouth. Then Pranshu breaks the
silence.

PRANSHU
Voh zyada dur nai gai hogi. Chal.

Luv smirks whilst shakin’ his head. Luv hits the self start.
Luv rams the accelerator’s handle. Luv starts to drive like
hell. Luv takes a quick turn to the right. Luv then keeps
drivin’ straight for a few seconds.

EXT. ROAD NEAR A BALLOON SHOP - EVENING ( DARK )

Luv & Pranshu spot the green tshirt wali girl, she is
standin’ near a small flower shop adjacent to the road.

PRANSHU
Beh voh balloons kahrid rahi hai.
Uska bhai bhi khada hai shayad.

LUV
Iss kamine koh bhi abhi hi tapak na
tha. Hutt ! Puri game kharab kar
di. Chor chal.

The green tshirt wali girl isn’t aware of Luv’s Dio

scarmblin’ on the street. The green tshirt wali’s brother is
payin’ the shopkeeper. Luv keeps starin’ at the green tshirt
wali girl whilst drivin’. Luv sees her smilin’ whilst lookin’
at the balloons, she then starts to laugh a little as two of
her friends ( the two girls who were sittin’ behind her on
the activa ) say somethin’. Luv smiles and shakes his head a
little. Luv then takes a turn to the right. Luv turns his
head a little & looks at the green tshirt wali girl for one
last time. Luv’s face looks little broken, he knows that he
will never see her again. Luv turns his head forward. Luv
swallows a lump. Luv keeps drivin’.

LUV (CONT’D)
(whilst sportin’ a sad
grin)
(MORE)
 12.

LUV (CONT’D)
Kisi aur duniya meh. Kisi aur
duniya meh.

Luv keeps drivin’ whilst sportin’ a sad grin on his face.

EXT. STREET - PARKIN’ NEAR THE BANK OF BARODA - GH/4 - NIGHT

Orange light is shimmerin’ all over the place due to the

various lampposts that are installed on the footpath near the
street. Luv & Pranshu are standin’ whilst their bums are
restin’ on the edge of the Dio’s seat. Luv is havin’ a
cigarette whilst lookin’ in the front. Pranshu starts
coughin’ a little as he inhales the second hand smoke.

PRANSHU
(smilin’)
Aaj puri raat voh soyegi nai. Tu
sapne meh aayega uske pakka.

Luv chuckles a bit whilst blowin’ smoke outta his mouth.

LUV
Kaash usne haa kaha hota yar. Kaash
woh khadi rehti.. kash.

PRANSHU
Phir bhi man na padega. Flirt kar
rahi thi tere sath.

Luv chuckles.

LUV
Kya faida. Bill toh koi aur hee
katega uska. Hum toh bass ek hassi
chura keh chale jayega iss jaha
seh. Par dusre ladke toh... Khair.

Beat.

PRANSHU
India hai yeh. Yaha pick up culture
ya datin’ shatin’ nai chalta utna.
Koi nai.

Luv grins a little.

LUV
Kya look tha yar uska. Tikhi si
naak. Kale lehrate hue baal. Green
tshirt aur black jeans.

Pranshu chuckles a little.

 13.

PRANSHU
Tikhi si naak ?

Luv looks at Pranshu & smiles. Luv throws his cigarette on

the ground whilst blowin’ bit of a smoke via his nostrils.

LUV
Kal vapas issi time peh aauga. Kya
pata yaha par ho.

Pranshu shakes his head a little whilst smilin’.

PRANSHU
Roadside Romeo.

Luv smiles a bit. Luv then grabs a Marlboro pack out of his
shirt’s pocket. Luv takes one cigarette outta the pack. Luv
lights it up with his lighter whilst takin’ quick puffs.

PRANSHU (CONT’D)
Kam piya kar. Kitni pita hai beh
tu.

Luv then signals Pranshu to move. Pranshu moves a little. Luv

gets on the Dio. Luv removes the side stand. Luv then hits
the self start. Pranshu sits on the back. Luv fires up the
Dio. We see Luv & Pranshu leavin’ the place on the Dio.

EXT. CONSTRUCTION SITE - 16TH FLOOR - AFTERNOON

SUPER IMPOSE : JAN / 2019 ( GANDHINAGAR )

( FOR THIS SCENE - 16 MM - ORANGE TINT - ONE SHOT )

Luv looks at the camera and smiles. Luv blows a kiss to the
camera whilst stnadin’ near the corner of the floor. Luv then
grabs his marlboro pack.

Luv gets one cigarette outta his marlboro pack. Luv lights it
up with his lighter. Luv takes a quick puff outta it and
blows out the smoke via his nostrils. Luv keeps smokin’. Luv
then grabs his mini note pad and starts writin’ whilst
smokin’.

LUV (V.O.)
Sach kahu. Mujhe bada hona bilkul
nai pasand. Kuch ajeebsa mehsus
hone lagta hai.
Mano jese chehre seh dhire dhire
hassi gayab si hone lagti hai.
Cheeze marri marri si lagne lagti
hai.
(MORE)
 14.

LUV (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Joh sapne bachpan meh sajoye the,
abb voh hakikat keh pero keh niche
apna dum tod rahe hai.
Jese hi insaan ekkis ka hota hai
toh sare khushnuma lamhe ek sath
dimaag meh gumne lagte hai. Kyonki
kahi na kahi insaan ko yeh pata
chal jata hai ki abb asli zindagi
shuru hone ja rahi hai.
Par mujhe zyada pachtava nai hai.
Mene kafi haseen lamhe gujare hai
inn ekkis salon meh.

Luv starts to roam around and looks at the scorchin’ sun

shinin’ on him. Luv starts to move towards the edge of the
floor. There is no safety railin’, it’s open, one could
easily fall down. But Luv keeps movin’ further. Luv stops
right near the edge of the floor. Luv stands there, lookin’
real calm. Luv then looks at the sun. Luv smiles a little.

LUV (O.S.)
Mere zyada seh zyada khusnuma lamhe
aurton ke karib hee the.
(chuckles a little)
Pata nai kuch baat hai unmeh. Jab
aap unke karib hote ho toh sare
gumm bhul jate ho, mano ki koi
khubsurat sapne meh ho tum.
Par sapne kabhi bar karar nahi
rehte, kabhi na kabhi toh tute hai,
aur jab sapne tute hote hai, toh
sirf ek hi cheez nazar aati hai,
dukh bhari hakikat.

Luv then slowly looks down. Luv keeps starin’ down. Luv
sports a sad grin whilst lookin’ down.

EXT. EXAM CENTRE - IGNOU - NEW C. G ROAD - AFTERNOON

SUPER IMPOSE : JUNE / 2017 ( AHMEDABAD )

Luv is standin’ outside the university gate. There is this

beautiful girl standin’ near him. Luv is starin’ at her. Luv
swallows a lump. The beautiful girl looks at Luv and locks
her eyes for a while. Luv is enjoyin’ every bit of it. The
girl then looks at her watch.

LUV (V.O.)
You see. Mujhe garme pada rehna aur
raat ko akela gumna bahut pasand
aata hai.

Beat.
 15.

LUV (V.O.)
Isliye mene open uni meh admission
le liya. Aur aaj mera aakhri paper
hai par mujhe lagta nai ki meh pass
ho pauga. Sach kahu toh akhri hafte
seh yaha aane ka ek sirf hee maqsad
hai... iss ladki keh aas pas bhatak
na. Shayad iss ladki koh bhi pata
hai ki yeh ladka mujhe roz aware
ashiq ki nazron seh dekta hai. Aaj
akhri din hai, aur aaj khone keh
liye mere pas kuch bhi nai hai. Aur
vese bhi iske baad hum phir kabhi
nai milenge.. kyonki meh exam meh
pakka fail hone wala hu, aur agle
saal seh toh open university bhi
chor duga, toh joh hona hai voh aaj
hi ho. Aar ya par.

Luv swallows a lump & starts to move closer to the beautiful

girl standin’ near him. Luv stands besides her.

LUV
(smilin’)
Hello.

The beautiful girl turns to the right & looks at Luv.

THE GIRL
(smilin’)
Hi.

Luv rubs his chin a little.

LUV
First year ?

THE GIRL
(smilin’)
Exam first year ki hai toh...

Luv chuckles a little.

LUV
(smilin’)
Stupid question, I know. Umm..

Luv licks his lower lip a little.

LUV (CONT’D)
Open university kyon ? College jana
pasand nai hai tumhe ?
 16.

THE GIRL
Woh meh computer ka course kar rahi
hu sath meh. Abb doh chize toh sath
meh nai kar sakti. Plus call centre
meh kam karti hu.. So..

Luv nods whilst lookin’ at her. Luv just wants to ask her out
for a cup of coffee as soon as possible.

LUV
Good.
(pauses whilst lookin’ at
her eyes in a serene
manner)
Good.

The beautiful girl looks at Luv. A moment is buildin’ up

between Luv & the beautiful girl. But before Luv could make a
move, comes a chapri ( street thug sorta / weird facial
structure ) on a pulsar ( two wheeler bike ). Luv knows that
his dreams are about to be crushed by this sub human. The
chapri looks at the beautiful girl. The beautiful girl looks
at the chapri, & then looks at Luv. Luv smiles at her whilst
givin’ her a polite nod.

LUV (CONT’D)
Bye.

The beautiful girl starts to walk towards the chapri’s

pulsar, she reaches near the pulsur and sits on the back seat
of the pulsar bike. The chapri rams the handle & off they go.
Luv stares at the road in front of him. Luv looks little sad.
Luv then sees a couple sittin’ in the park in front of the
university, the couple is smilin’ at each other whilst
sittin’ on a bench. Luv closes his eyes with an anguish.

LUV (V.O.)
Khun keh aasu rula rahi hai yeh
duniya mujhe.

EXT/INT. APNA ADDA - CAFE - GANDHINAGAR -- NIGHT

SUPER IMPOSE : MARCH / 2018 ( GANDHINAGAR )

Luv has a pack of marlboro in his hand. Luv’s standin’ inside

the shop to get his monster/redbull can. Luv pays the owner
of the shop. The owner knows Luv very well, since Luv visits
this cafe too often. Luv is waitin’ for the change. As Luv is
waitin’ for the change, comes in a beautiful thin built woman
in her early 20’s. Luv stops breathin’. The beautiful woman
stands near Luv, she looks back, tryin’ to find her
boyfriend. The beautiful woman’s boyfriend arrives.
 17.

THE BOYFRIEND
Kya lena hai tujhe ?

THE BOY’S GIRLFRIEND

Redull aur ek cigarette.

The beautiful woman’s boyfriend nods at her then walks in

further whilst wavin’ at the owner. The owner smiles. The
beautiful woman’s boyfriend rests his hands on the counter &
pulls out his credit card from his wallet. Meanwhile, his
girlfriend’s and Luv’s eyes meet for a split second. Luv
swallows a lump.

The beautiful girl moves closer to Luv (unintentionally or..

Kiddin’.. women don’t have those devilish desires in them)
, she stands besides Luv as she watches her boyfriend pay for
her redbull & marlboro, for some reason (unintentionally) she
stands too close to Luv, her right arm starts to brush Luv’s
bare (left) forearm, she is little smaller than Luv in terms
of her stature, Luv doesn’t move, not even a bit. Luv just
takes a deep breathe quietly whilst standin’ still. Luv eyes
start to become moist. Luv just looks at the beautiful girl’s
face.

The beautiful girl is unbothered by her naked right arm

brushin’ Luv’s forearm, over and over. The beautiful girl
moves a little, Luv opens his mouth a little as her naked
elbow starts brushin’ his left forearm even further, in a
little fierce manner. Luv doesn’t say a word. Luv just looks
at the beautiful girl’s sleeveless black denim jacket and her
black denim jeans, Luv then looks at her eyes.

LUV (V.O.)
Iski aknhien samundar seh bhi zyada
gehri hai.
(luv now looks at the
black mole that she has
near her upper lip)
Zehrile hoth ke uppar ek til jo
kisi bhi ladke koh madhosh karne
keh liye kafi hai.
(luv now looks at her as
she smiles whilst lookin’
at her cell phone)
Muskaan joh kisi koh bhi apne sare
gumm koh doh pal ke liye bhula de.
Just.. Perfect.

The beautiful girl in the black denim jacket looks at Luv as

she turns to leave (her boyfriend took his time durin’, due
to some technical glitch which kept him busy with the
shopkeeper). Luv can’t hide her vulnerable state. Luv’s eyes
are little wet by this time. Luv looks into the beautiful
girl’s eyes.
 18.

The beautiful girl looks deep into Luv’s eyes as she leaves
the cafe. The beautiful girl’s weird lookin’ boyfriend gives
Luv a look whilst walkin’ out.

LUV (V.O.)
(whilst lookin’ at the
girl’s dog faced
boyfriend)
Heere zevrat humesha kichar meh
kyon ja girte hai. Bhadva sala.

Shopkeeper offers Luv some change. Luv grabs the change real
quick. Luv then walks outta the cafe with his marlboro pack /
monster can in his one hand. Luv looks around & sees an empty
chair. Luv sits there & starts rippin’ his marlboro pack. Luv
gets a cigarette outta his marlboro pack & lights it up with
his silver lighter. Luv then looks at the beautiful girl with
whom he had a little moment back in the cafe. The girl is
laughin’ whilst listenin’ to her boyfriend, her boyfreind is
tryin’ his best to impress her.

Luv blows out a bit of smoke thru his nostrils. Luv looks
down. Luv grins a little, a sad grin.

CUT TO:

EXT. ROAD NEAR - WOODS NEAR THE GIFT CITY -- MIDNIGHT

A night owl sittin’ on a tree. Night owl widen it’s eyes.

Luv is drivin’ his Dio like a drunk maniac. Luv’s eyes are
little teary. Luv keeps drivin’ like hell on the road near
the woods. The silver moon light is shinin’ on him. Luv is
tryin’ to forget his pain ( emotional ) via drivin’ fast. Luv
is listnin’ to music ( earphones ) whilst drivin’.

Luv keeps drivin’ on & on. There is no one out there on the
road except him. Luv then takes his both arms off the Dio’s
handle, Luv widens his arms like a bird. Luv closes his eyes
for a moment. Luv then opens his eyes. Luv then gets his
hands back on the Dio’s handles.

LUV (V.O.)
Jabh kabhi bhi meh akela mehsoos
karta hu, toh meh meri doh paiyo

Luv then again looks at the red tshirt wali girl. Luv notices

Yeah. You look cute.

Luv also pouts whilst raisin’ his eyebrows, clearly lovin’

Divya’s compliment.

LUV
(smilin’)
Haa toh meh kya jaaaabbbbraa hu ?

Divya shakes his head whilst smilin’.

LUV (CONT’D)
Bata raha hu apne parents ki batein
kam suno, aur apne dil ki baatien
zyada suno. Khush rahogi.

Divya nods a little whilst smilin’.

DIVYA
So tum local nai ho ?

Luv pauses for a moment whilst lookin’ at Divya.

LUV (V.O.)
Kash meh isseh sach bata pata. Par
shayad kahi na kahi hummeh juth,
sach seh zyada pasand aata hai.
Kuch lamho keh liye humm iss
banajar si duniya koh bhulakar ek
banavati aur romanchak duiniya meh
khud koh bhigona chahte hai, juthi
hee na sahi, par voh duniya ek dum
jadui aur romanchak hoti hai.

LUV
(smilin’ a little)
Meh delhi seh hu. Mere uncle keh
garpe rehta hu yaha. I’m sindhi.
 36.

DIVYA
Oh ! WOW !

LUV
(smooth liar)
Yeah. Hum sindhi log italian family
ki tarah hote hai. Table peh ek
saath pagalon ki tarah khana khana.
Raat der tak batien karne. Kafi fun
hota hai.

Divya looks impressed.

LUV (CONT’D)
Parr Delhi jesi maza nai yaha..
Bilkul nai.

DIVYA
Kyon ?

LUV
Well, ladkiya kafi conservative hai
yaha.

DIVYA
Well, haa par sari Gujarati ladkiya
buri nai hoti. I mean, like, koi
koi ladkiya achi bhi hoti hai
yaha.

Luv smirks.

LUV
(flirtatious tone)
Shat pratishat sehmat hu aapki baat
seh.

Divya blushes a bit whilst sportin’ a lite smile. Divya then

looks at her watch. Divya then looks at Luv. We notice Luv’s
face starts to crack (sadness, my dear friend) a little.

LUV (CONT’D)
(sportin’ a sad grin)
Understood.

Divya bites her lower lip a little. Divya slowly gets up. Luv
gets up as well. Two kites goin’ in the opposite direction.
Divya looks at Luv. Divya smiles a little.

DIVYA
(mellow tone)
It was nice meetin’ you.
 37.

LUV
(smilin’)
Likewise.

Divya leaves whilst smilin’ & wavin’ a good bye at Luv. Luv
smiles. Luv turns around as Divya reaches closer to the exit.
Luv watches Divya push the exit/entrance door of the cafe.
Luv breathes a little. Luv looks little sad as Divya walks
out of the cafe. Luv just stands there.

LUV (V.O.)
This hurts the most. Mano koi aapke
dil ka ek tukda churakar, hamesha
keh liye apki nigaho seh gayab ho
jata hai.

EXT. FOOTPATH NEAR THE INFOCITY CIRCLE -- EVENING

SUPER IMPOSE : GANDHINAGAR

Traffic’s minimal. Sun has gone down. A blue tint is visible

across the sky.

Luv is sittin’ on a footpath (the edge of the footpath)

whilst havin’ a cigarette. Luv is lookin at the hoardin’ near
the entrance of the Infocity. A beautiful cologne advert :
with a beautiful European model on it. Luv is starin’ at her
passionately. Luv is lookin’ at her with a yearning desire.
Luv keeps smokin’ his cigarette (slowly) whilst starin’ at
the poster/hoardin’.

LUV (V.O.)
Sirf meh aur yeh mohtarma. Koi
mujhe iska didar karne seh nai rok
sakta. Har roj meh yaha akar iske
sath ashiqui ladata hu. Mere
khayalon ki rani. Sirf mere liye
banni hai yeh. Kabhi mujhe akelapan
nai mehsoos hone deti. Humesha pyar
bhari nigaho seh mujhe dekti hai
mujhe. Ankhon seh ankhien milakar
pyar jata ti hai yeh mohtarma.
Aur sabse khubsurat baat yeh hai
ki, koi ladka iske piche nai bhag
raha hota hai.
(chuckles)
Kisi bhi ladke ko iski parwa nai.
Yeh sirf meri iko sweetheart hai.
Kabhi kabhi sochta hu ki kash yeh
iss parde seh nikal kar, meri aur
chalna shuru karde.

LUV (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Bass meh aur yeh, chandini raat keh
niche ek dusre ki bahon meh bahen
dal kar kuch haseen lamhe guzar....
(chuckles in a sad manner)

Luv finishes his cigarette. Luv throws the cigarette butt

away. Luv blows the tobacco smoke outta his nostrils. Luv
keeps lookin’ at the beautiful model in the hoardin’. Luv
looks little sad. Luv fixes his black finger ring. Luv then
lights up another marlboro. Luv takes a slow puff whilst
lookin’ at the female model in the hoardin’.

LUV (V.O.)
Parr shayad yahi sahi hai. Agar yeh
parde seh bahar aagai toh bakki
aurton ki tarah pathar dil aur
marrial si ban jayegi. Behter yahi
rahega ki yeh sirf parde par rahe
hai. Kyonki uss tarah yeh kabhi
mere pyar ko nakar nai payegi.

Luv lies down with his back on the footpath. Luv just stares
at the sky whilst takin’ a slow drag outta his cigarette.

EXT. LUV’S HOUSE -- MIDNIGHT

It’s a beautiful bungalow. The bungalow is situated near the

city’s end. It has two floors.

INT. LUV'S HOUSE - 1ST FLOOR - LUV’S ROOM -- MIDNIGHT

The room is dark (lights are off). Luv is standin’ naked,

near the projector, but we could only see the upper portion
of his body. Luv eyes are little wet.

Projector is projectin’ a strip tease of Sunny Leone. Luv is

lookin’ at Sunny Leone talkin’ dirty to him. Sunny Leone is
still dressed. Sunny Leone is teasin’ him whilst openin’ her
shirt. Sunny Leone smiles. Luv opens his mouth wide whilst
movin’ his arm a little. Luv keeps movin’ his right hand.
Luv’s eyes start to become wet ( sadness ) as he reaches
closer to his orgasm. Luv swallows a lump whilst keepin’ his
mouth open.

Luv gasps a little. Luv just keeps starin’ at Sunny Leone

movin’ on the other side of the room. Luv just stands there.
A tear rolls down from Luv’s right eye. For Luv this act
wasn’t solely based on lust, or quenchin’ the sexual thirst
of the animal that lies within, for him it was a spiritual
experience.
 39.

LUV (V.O.)
Meri mashuka. Meri dost. Pata nai
sare mazhab esi aurton seh kyon
nafrat karte hai.
Jinhe koi apne dil meh panah nai
deta, unhe yeh auriten panah deti
hai. Do pal keh liye tumhare sare
dard kich leti hai yeh aurtien.
Tumhare akelepan ko mita deti hai
doh pal keh liye,
(a sad chuckle)
aur badle meh kuch nai magti.

Luv then takes a cigarette lyin’ near the projector & lights
it up with his lighter. Luv takes a deep puff out of it. Luv
then blows a thick smoke outta his mouth. Luv then smiles a
little for no reason whatsoever. Luv keeps starin’ at the
Sunny Leone dancin’ and movin’ in an allurin’ manner on the
projector screen.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. LUV'S HOUSE - 1ST FLOOR - LUV’S ROOM -- MORNING

Luv is on his bed. Luv has a white bedsheet on him. Luv opens
his eyes a little. It’s a beautiful room.

Luv gets up a little. Luv then grabs his cigarette pack real
quick. Luv gets one marlboro out of it & lights it up with
his lighter. Luv takes a little puff outta it. Luv then gets
up on his feet. Luv is wearin’ a greyish bathrobe.

INT. LUV’S HOUSE - STAIRS -- MORNING

Luv is walkin’ down the stairs whilst havin’ a cigarette. Luv

waves at the house maid.

LUV
Mornin’, Regina.

Regina ( the house maid in her early 40’s - pretty - wearin’

a typical maid uniform ). Regina smiles at Luv.

REGINA
Raat koh inti der tak kyon jagte
ho. Acchi baat nai.

Luv is near the end of the staircase. Luv smirks.

LUV
(teasin’ her)
Acchi baat nai.
 40.

INT. LUV'S HOUSE - GROUND FLOOR - MORNING

Luv reaches the ground floor. Luv looks around. Luv looks
little confused.

LUV
(to regina)
Breakfast nai laga abhi tak.

Regina is cleanin’ the floor with a big broom.

REGINA
Aaj sunday hai. Bhul gaye. Sunday
koh garden meh lagta hai breakfast.

Luv nods a little.

LUV
(whilst smokin’)
Thank you. Iss important piece of
information keh bina mera kya hota,
Regina.

Regina knows that Luv is pullin’ her leg. Regina tries to

clean the air by wavin’ her one hand like a car wiper.

REGINA
Aur yeh cigarette subah subah.
(coughs a little)
Marne ki jaldi hai tumhe, Luv,
Haaa ?

Luv smirks.

LUV
Tumhe kese pata yeh baat. Mind
reader ho kya tum, Regina ?

Regina shakes her head a little whilst smilin’ a little.

Regina then looks at Luv. Luv pouts at her whilst makin’ a
kissin’ expression. Regina chuckles a little. Luv smiles as
he sees Regina chuckle.

REGINA
Saal badhte jaa rahe hai aur tum
bade hone ki vajai bacche bante jaa
rahe ho.

LUV
(smirks)
Bacche cute hote hai.

Regina smiles whilst shakin’ her head a little. Regina then

looks at the ground whilst movin’ her broom.
 41.

REGINA
Abb jao isseh pehle tumhre pujya
matashri aur pitashri chilaye mujh
par.. “Ki mere bete koh abhi tak
uthaya kyon nai”.

Luv smirks at Regina. Luv then proceeds to head for the

garden.

INT. LUV’S HOUSE - GARDEN -- MORNING

It’s a beautiful garden. A beautiful round/white breakfast

table with three white chairs is present. The table has three
sandbitches along with three rava dosas on various white
plates. A flask filled with orange juice. Couple of glasses
with orange juice in it. Luv’s parents have already started
havin’ their mornin’ breakfast. Luv’s father is readin’ the
mornin’ newspaper whilst havin’ his breakfast.

Luv arrives. Luv’s parents look at him as he approaches the

table. Luv sits on the chair. Luv then puts his cigarette
down in the ashtray. Luv’s parents ( Amit - Luv’s father - a
business man - late 40’s - kinda hates Luv, but not enough to
pull the plug on him ) - ( Mita - early 40’s - Luv’s mother -
she is kinda neutral, but that’s what hurts Luv, her lack of
belief in him ).

Luv uses the flask to pour some more orange juice in his half
filled orange glass. Luv takes a sip outta his orange juice
filled glass whilst puttin’ the flask down. Luv then takes a
bite of the sandbitch from his breakfast plate. Luv’s father
just stares at him. Luv’s father puts down his mornin’
newspaper on the table. Luv looks at his father.

LUV’S FATHER
Good mornin’, Romeo !

Luv rolls his eyes. Luv just chews his food whilst lookin’
down at his breakfast plate. Luv is not in the mood. Luv’s
mother looks at Luv’s father.

LUV’S MOTHER
Subah subah matt shuru karo please
aap.

LUV’S FATHER
(smirks)
Janab neh iss mahine meh doh bar
police station keh chakkar kate

LUV’S FATHER (CONT'D)

Phir isske kisi awara dost keh sath
kisi college meh ek ladki koh
propose mara tha. Ek anjaan ladki
koh !
Aur socha hoga ki har bar ki tarah
koi ladki fisal jayegi. Par iss bar
toh surpankha khud ek khubsurat
ladki ka rup lekar inhe sabak
sikhane aayi thi. Ek hello ki note
keh vajah se thane keh chakkar kat
rahe the humare sarfire aashiq.

Luv’s mother looks at Luv. Luv eats quietly whilst ignorin’

his father’s arrow shaped words.

LUV’S MOTHER
Beta tum khana kha lo. Innki baat
mat suno.

LUV’S FATHER
Meri na sunne ki vajah seh hee toh
yeh yaha hai. Awaro ki tarah sadak
peh gumna, na school na college.
Bass pure dine note pad leke akele
pata nai, najane kaha gumte phirte
hai yeh janab.

Luv’s father amps it up a little bit.

LUV’S FATHER (CONT’D)

Mujhe khud koh tumhara pita kehne
meh sharam aati hai. Yeh gar bhi
chala jayega ek din, phir kya
karonge tum ? Gumte rehna sadko par
aese hi ?

LUV’S MOTHER
Aap bhi bass kijiye. Kal raat koh
bhi isne kuch nai khaya tha. Pure
din cigarette aur coffee par pada
rehta hai. Khane doh usseh chen seh
abhi. Phir toka toki sunana isseh.
Nasta pura karne doh isseh chen
seh.

Luv’s father hates Luv’s cavalier attitude towards his life,

his hate towards Luv has risen in past few years.

LUV’S FATHER
(chuckles a little)
Naste keh baad toh inn mahapurush
keh darshan hi nai hoge. Apne room
meh padde rahenge pura din. Kavi
raheem saab.
 43.

Luv isn’t sayin’ a word. Luv is just eatin’ whilst lookin’

down in his plate. Luv looks little off due to his father’s
mornin’ saga of how he is a fuck up.

LUV’S MOTHER
Parr kuch na kuch kar hee lega.
Likta hai. Mene dekha hai apni
akhon seh. Scriptien likta hai.
Kuch na kuch toh kar hee lega apni
zindagi meh.

Luv’s father chuckles.

LUV’S FATHER
Scriptien likte hai, janab. Picture
ki scriptien aur shero shayri seh
zindagi nai kat ti.
Sab thikh chal raha tha. Par baarvi
keh bad pata nai inhe brahmand keh
rahsya samjne ka bhut savar hogaya.
Bass chor diyi padhai. Bass kamre
meh pade hue hai teen saal seh. Aur
jis hisaab seh chal raha hai mujhe
nai lagta ki inhe uss kamre seh
bahar aane meh koi tilschasvi hai.
Well news flash ! Mr Romeo !
Zindagi kamre meh bandh rehkar nai
jee ja sakti. Agar ashiqi ladane ka
itna hi shauk hai toh jao kisi
university, padho likho aur mauj
karo, koi mana nai kar raha. Par
nai, you’re scared.
Bass kamre keh comfort seh bahar
nai aana. Yeh toh aacha hai ki meh
tumahra pita hu, varna koi aur hota
toh road peh phek deta tumhe.

Luv throws his fork in the plate, little pissed. Luv stops
eatin’. Luv looks at his father. Luv is tryin’ his best to
not to lose his nerve, but he looks little pissed.

LUV
(intense)
Good mornin’. Shayad kal raat koh
khane meh Regina neh mirchi zyada
daal di hogi appke khane meh, iss
liye itne tikhe alfaz nikal rahe

Mujhe nai pasand hai yeh duniya, na

Mujhe nai pasand hai jab meh koi

 44.

LUV (CONT'D)
Mujhe nai pasand jab duniya inn
padhe likhe gawaro ki zindagi koh
zindagi kehti hai.. Dr, engineer ya
professors.. Jinhone kabhi zindagi
koh jiya nai hai, jinhone kabhi bhi
ek khubsurat sunset koh gurte hue
apna sar divider peh for na diya ho
bike chalate waqt.
Mujhe nai pasand hai jabb insaan ki
puri zindagi kagaz keh tukdo keh

Jab insaano neh jina hi chor diya
hai toh kya faida iss hakikat meh
reh kar. Mujhe pata nai ki meh iss

nikluga.
Mujhe yeh bhi nai pata ki meh lamba

Par mujhe itna pata hai ki kagaz

Luv finishes his speech. Luv’s father gives a tongue n cheek

expression.

LUV’S FATHER
Chalo kuch nai to ek acche
politican toh zarur banpaoge tum.

Luv’s father just stares at Luv. Luv flares his nostrils a

little.

LUV’S FATHER (CONT’D)

(little anger / a father
who still wants his son
to come outta the abyss)
Akkad tabhi karni chahiye jab

Yeh wahi Luv nai hai jisne athra

You’re a failure !
(luv looks little broken,
his eyes are become wet)
Tum jhese ek doh ladke meri college

beta ya toh drug overdose kar lash
bankar pada ho kamre keh kisi kone

bankar teher raha ho.

Tears roll down from Luv’s eyes as he tries to process his

father’s arrow shaped words. Luv starts to look here & there
whilst movin’ his jaw, tryin’ his best not to cry like a
baby.

LUV’S FATHER (CONT’D)

What I see in front of me, is a man
who has the potential to be amongst
the great.
(beat)
But is throwin’ away his life
because he is scared of the real
world, the responsibilities that
come with livin’ in a real world.

Luv’s father finishes his rant. Luv’s father shakes his head
a little. Luv’s father gets up & leaves for the inside. Luv’s
mother looks at Luv’s father, almost like “Don’t go”. Luv’s
mother then looks at Luv. Luv’s mother is sportin’ a grief
ridden expression on her face.
 46.

LUV’S MOTHER
Apne baap koh jine doh chen seh.

Luv’s mother leaves the garden area, and walks inside the
house to catch Luv’s father.

But Luv is still sittin’ in the garden. Tears are rollin’

down from Luv’s eyes, no noises or over the top exhibition of
grief is seen. Tears keep rollin’ down outta Luv’s eyes for
couple of more seconds. Luv then swallows a lump. Luv then
wipes his tears with his one hand. Luv then grabs a cigarette
outta his Marlboro pack & lights it up.

Luv takes a puff outta his cigarette whilst lookin’ little

broken. Luv puts down his cigarette in the ashtray near his
breakfast plate. Luv then grabs his fork & pokes the rava
dosa with it. Luv takes a bite & starts chewin’ it.

Tears starts to roll down again as we see Luv gettin’

overwhelmed by the sadness again. Luv’s face starts crackin’
again.

EXT. CAFE -- NIGHT

SUPER IMPOSE : July / 2018 ( GANDHINAGAR )

It’s rainin’. A black with a little bit of blue, a typical

rainy sky. There is a sunroof above the cafe’s entrance.
Luv’s standin’ beneath it, leanin’ on a cold drink’s fridge
near the cafe’s entrance. Luv’s standin’ alone in the corner.
Luv’s favorite spot is the corner. Luv usually like havin’ a
drink or a cigarette whilst leanin’ on the backside of the
fridge. Luv’s havin’ a cigarette. Luv’s cryin’ a little. But
best part about the rain is that no one can know whether
you’re cryin’, or it’s just raindrops workin’ it’s magic on
your face.

Luv sees bunch of beautiful girls on the other side of the

corner dancin’ in the rain. Luv just looks at them whilst
leanin’ a bit on the fridge. Those girls start to laugh &
giggle, they then start to move forward to get real wet,
leavin’ the sunroof completely to enjoy the rain, enterin’
into the cafe’s compound. The cafe’s compound is open, no
shed or roof, just chairs for people to sit. Luv looks in
their direction. Luv sees one girl outta the group, she is
sorta sits on a chair near her whilst rest are enjoyin’ the
rain like crazies. She sits on a chair & shakes her hair to
get rid of the water. She then pulls her hair back & puts a
plastic band on her hair. She is wearin’ a white shirt & a
blue denim shorts.

Luv swallows a lump as he sees the girl in the white shirt

rub her neck a little.
 47.

The white shirt girl has a moon like face, a moon like
complexion, and a moon like calmin’ presence. Luv just looks
at her whilst havin’ a cigarette. The white shirt girl wipes
her raindrop mustache, she then looks at Luv, she locks her
eyes, she is little amused by Luv.

Luv is lookin’ at her from under the shed (sunroof). Luv just
keeps starin’ deep into her eyes. The white shirt girl keeps
starin’ at Luv whilst rain drops hit her face & body. Luv
takes a deep puff outta his cigarette. The white shirt girl
swallows a lump as she sees Luv puttin’ his cigarette out on
his other hand’s thumb. Luv is projectin’ his inner pain,
tellin’ her in a way, that there is nothin’ here, except
trauma. Luv blows out the last bit of smoke thru his
nostrils. Luv keeps starin’ at the white shirt girl, she is
also lookin’ at Luv, she can notice the poignant & vulnerable
state of Luv.

As both of them are starin’ at each other, clouds start to

roar. The white shirt girl smiles at Luv for some odd reason.
Luv doesn’t reciprocate her smile. The white shirt girl is
still starin’ at Luv. Luv looks at her neck, then proceeds to
look at her lips, he then proceeds to look at her cheek,
finally stoppin’ at her eyes. Luv bites his lower lip, Luv
looks little broken. Luv swallows a lump. Luv then looks
down. Luv then slowly turns his head up. Luv looks back at
the white shirt girl. The white shirt girl is still starin’
at Luv, with a mellow face.

As Luv & the white shirt girl are starin’ at each other, a
gorilla man ( Tall/Al-Quada beard/Muscular :
Arnoldschwanegger) comes in & taps the white shirt girl’s
shoulder from the behind. The white shirt girl turns around.
The gorilla man smiles at her. The gorilla man then says
somethin to her & starts walkin’ away ( towards the car
parked in front of the cafe ). The white shirt girl gets up,
she stands there waitin’ for her gorilla man to take his car
outta parkin’. She starts walkin’ towards the road in front
of the cafe, as she sees the gorilla man’s car arrivin’. She
starts walkin’ towards the car as the gorilla man pulls over
& opens the car’s door. Luv is simply observin’ all of this.

The white shirt girl reaches near the car’s open door. She is
about to sit inside the car. But she pauses a little. She
turns her head a little & looks at Luv still lookin’ at her.
Luv sees her lookin’ at him. Luv gives her a sad grin. She
grins back. She sits inside the car. Luv is still lookin’ at
her. The car starts to move forward. Luv keeps starin’ at
her. Raindrops are hittin’ the car’s windshield. Luv takes
out a Marlboro outta his Marlboro pack. Luv lights it up
whilst lookin’ at the car leavin’. Luv takes a quick puff
outta his cigarette. Luv then throws it on the ground whilst
steppin’ outta the shed’s (sunroof) protection.
 48.

Luv is now in the cafe’s compound area, raindrops start to

hit him. Luv then wipes his face a little with his one hand.
Luv then looks up, and closes his eyes. Raindrops hit his
naked face. Luv swallows a lump whilst wipin’ his face again
,in a slow manner.

EXT. LUV'S HOUSE -- MIDNIGHT

SUPER IMPOSE : October / 2018 ( GANDHINAGAR )

We see Luv’s room’s light are still on. Luv has kept his
window open.

INT. LUV'S HOUSE - TOP FLOOR - LUV'S ROOM -- MIDNIGHT

Luv is sittin’ on a chair. Luv has his hands fixed on his

writin’ desk near the window. Luv is typin’ on his classic
type writer whilst sportin’ a cigarette in his mouth. Luv
takes a drag outta his cigarette whilst typin’. Luv’s room is
a mess. Typed papers all across the room. Some torn papers
near the steel bin. Ash tray is filled with twenty cigarette
butts.

LUV (V.O.)
Pichle kuch mahine kafi acche rahe
hai. Kyonki pichle kuch mahino seh
meh pagalo ki tarah likh pa raha
hu. Pata nai mano mujh par likhne
ka bhut sa savar ho gaya hai. Mujhe
iss baat ka dar hai ki meri maut
keh baad meri kahani koi anjaan
parinda na likhe, jisne meri duniya
koh apne nazariye seh dekhi hogi,
vajay mere nazariye seh.
Harr insaan koh apni kahani khud
likhni chahiye. Kyonki maut keh
baad agar koi ek cheez zinda rahegi
tumhare bare meh, toh voh hogi
tumhari kahani. Meh humesha manta
hu ki zindagi keh harr lamho koh,
dard bhare asuon seh lekar haseen
muskaane, harr lamho koh puri tarah
seh jina chahiye.
Jabb maut keh darwaze khade rahoge
tabb woh sare lamhe ek sath akhri
gadi par, tumahre dil aur dimag par
ek saath jabak neh lage geh.
Aur sirf ek hi saval uthega uss
waqt ki, kya tumne ek romanchak
zindagi ji ya bass sidhi sadi,
marri hui zindagi ji thi ?
 49.

Luv then stops typin & looks outta his window. Luv looks at
the beautiful full moon starin’ right at him. Luv stares at
it for a while, with a serene yet a little sad face. Luv then
sees his phone ringin’. Luv looks at it. Luv shakes his head.
Luv then picks up his phone.

PRANHSU
(via the phone)
Romeo ! Navratri hai aur tu gar peh

Oye aese matt bol yar, meh always

Luv then throws a fit all of a sudden, coughin’ like hell

whilst puttin’ a fist near his mouth.
 50.

PRANHSU
(via the phone)
Kam cigarette fuka kar. Yaha tak
dhua aa raha hai.

Luv chuckles a little.

LUV
(smilin’ a little)
Kal milta hu. Aur agar ho sake toh

PRANHSU
(via the phone)
Ek hi dost hai. Ussko bhi itne tane
marega toh voh bhi nai rahega,
sale.

Luv chuckles. Luv cuts the phone. Luv then closes his eyes.

EXT. GH-4’S PARK - PARKIN’ NEAR THE GANDHI PARK -- NIGHT

SUPER IMPOSE - 10:00 PM ( GANDHINAGAR )

Parkin’ is located on the opposite side of the Gandhi park.

There is a footpath outside the park, then there is a road
adjacent to the foot path, then there is the parkin’ place
adjacent to the road. Gandhi park is near the navratri
celebration’s venue : thanganat / cultural forum navratri.

Luv pulls over & parks his Dio at this parkin’ spot. There is
this gigantic neem tree near this parkin’ spot (very close).
Luv then sits on his Dio like it’s some sort of a relaxo
chair, restin’ his back on Dio’s steerin’ whilst strechin’
his feet over the Dio’s long seat. Luv then takes out his
phone & dials Pranshu. Ring goes on for a while. But no one
picks up, Luv still keeps the phone near his ear, hopin’ that
Pranshu will pick up his phone.

LUV (V.O.)
Kabhi kabhi sochta hu ki mujhe dher
sare dost banane chaiye. Parr phir
lagta hai ki koi samaj hee nai
payega mere iss ajeebo gareeb
dimaag koh, kya fayda soh dost
banakar phir.
Pranshu hi ek hai joh mere dimag
koh thoda bhaut samaj pata hai, toh
phir abb nakre toh uthane hee
padenge iss namune keh.

Luv cuts the phone whilst shakin’ his head. Luv puts the
phone in his pocket. Luv then lights one Marlboro up.
 51.

Luv takes a deep puff out of the marlboro. Luv looks around.
Luv sees no one. Luv just keeps smokin’ his marlboro whilst
lookin’ here & there. Luv then sees two pretty girls on a
white activa comin’ in his direction.

Luv keeps smokin’ as he sees the white activa bein’ pulled

over besides his Dio. Two girls on the white activa are
sportin’ a traditional navratri attire. The girl in the front
turns off the ignition. The girl on the backseat gets off the
activa & starts to cross the road, aimin’ for the footpath
that’s on the opposite side of the road. The other girl is
checkin’ her makeup in her white activa’s side view mirror.
Luv checks her out whilst she is checkin’ her makeup, she has
lustrous black hair, butter like skin, a sharp face, and a
fair complexion ( let’s call her khushi ).

Khushi looks pleased with her makeup, she gets off the
activa. Khushi takes a quick glance at Luv whilst yankin’ the
keys outta her activa’s key slot. Khushi then starts to cross
the road & joins her other friend who is standin’ near a
light pole (lamppost) mounted on the footpath. Khushi joins
her friend. Luv then puckers his eyebrows a little as khushi
& her friend take out their smartphones. Luv starts to shakes
his head whilst smilin’, as he sees khushi & her freind
clickin’ bunch of selfies from different angles whilst the
footpath’s light pole shimmers it’s orange light over them.
The selfie clickin’ marathon goes for a good minute, after
which both of them get tired.

Khushi’s freind starts checkin’ the selfies she clicked on

her phone. Khushi also checks the selfies she clicked via her
phone. Luv is lookin’ at Khushi whilst havin’ a cigarette.
Khushi feels it & looks at Luv from afar.

Luv blows the smoke outta his mouth. A thick smoke. Khushi
keeps lookin’ at Luv for couple of seconds. Luv is enjoyin’
every bit of it. Khushi’s friend taps Khushi’s shoulder.
Khushi turns towards her. Khushi’s friend signals that it’s
time to go & play Garba (it’s like a hip hop dance in India..
kiddin’). Khushi nods. Luv is shamelessly lookin’ at Khushi.
Khushi & her friend cross the road & head for the white
activa which is parked besides Luv’s Dio.

Khushi & her friend arrive near the activa. Khushi sits on
the activa & turns on the ignition. Khushi uses her legs to
make the activa move out of the parkin’ slot. Khushi’s friend
then sits on the back. Khushi’s friend looks at Luv, a quick
glance. Khushi turns the accelators handle & off they go.

As they leave Luv looks at his watch (silver omega). Luv

smirks a little. Luv’s phone then starts ringin’. Luv picks
up his phone.

Pranshu chuckles. Luv cuts the phone. Luv takes a deep

breathe.

INT. ROOM -- NIGHT (DREAM SEQUENCE)

MUSIC - I WARNED MY SELF - CHARLIE PUTH (JUST THE BGM)

 55.

It’s a dark room, we can’t see anythin’. Now all of sudden we

see a cigarette bein’ lit with a matchstick. We see rough
face of a person takin’ the puff outta the cigarette. Now a
spotlight hits on the person who is smokin’ the cigarette
whilst sittin’ on a round wooden chair, it’s Luv. Luv has a
book between his legs. Luv grabs the book & opens it up. The
book’s name is “Indra’s pearl”. Luv starts readin’ it.

Now we hear an allurin’ sound of heels, tik tok sound. The

tik tok sound stops. The spotlight hits on the person wearin’
high heels. It’s khushi. Khushi is wearin’ a stripper’s
uniform. Khushi is lookin’ at Luv. But Luv is readin’ his
book whilst ignorin’ Khushi’s presence.

A strip pole starts to emerge from the ground. Khushi grabs

the pole. Khushi starts to move in a sensual manner whilst
holdin’ the strip pole. Khushi then let goes of the pole.
Khushi now moves her hips & hands in a sensual manner whilst
lookin’ at Luv. Khushi is dancin’ like a typical stripper.
Khushi keeps movin’ her hips & hands in a sensual manner
whilst lookin’ at Luv.

Luv is turnin’ pages of his book, skimmin’ the content of the

pages. Luv is solely devoted to his book as Khushi dances in
front of him a sensual manner. Khushi keeps dancin’. All of a
sudden the room starts to spin. Colors start to pop - red -
blue - green.

We see black tears rollin’ outta Khushi’s eyes. Luv stops

readin’. Luv slowly looks at Khushi as she dances whilst
sheddin’ black tears. Luv takes a deep puff outta his
cigarette while throwin’ away his book with one hand. Luv
looks at Khushi whilst blowin’ the smoke outta his mouth.
Khushi starts to dance more intensely as Luv looks at her.
Luv slowly gets up from his round wooden chair. Luv starts to
move forward a bit. Luv then stands still, Luv is starin’ at
Khushi who is still makin’ sensual and allurin’ moves whilst
lookin’ at him. Khushi then stops dancin’ (stops movin’ her
hips in a sensual manner). Khushi & Luv just look at each
other for a moment. Luv throws his cigarette on the ground.

Khushi smirks a little. Khushi begins to walk forward. Khushi

stops walkin’ after a step or three.

Khushi is now standin’ ideally. Khushi is at one arms

distance from Luv. Luv swallows a lump. Luv extends her one
hand to touch Khushi’s right cheek. Room is still dark, only
two spotlights followin’ Luv & khushi, are visible. Luv is
about to touch Khushi’s right cheek, but he is unable to do
so.

Four white tubelights inside the room start to flicker real

slow. Real slow. We now see a round seated wooden chair, a
strip pole, & a book lyin’ on the floor.
 56.

There is also a transparent glass wall between Luv & Khushi,

apart from that, it’s pretty much an empty room with grey
walls.

Luv’s one hand is still on the transparent glass wall. Luv

can’t touch Lhushi’s cheek. Khushi puts her one hand on the
trasnparent glass wall. Khushi is tryin’ to mimic Luv. Luv
flattens his hand over the transparent glass wall. Khushi
mimics Luv’s move again. Luv slowly walks real close to the
transparent glass wall. Khushi slowly moves real close to the
transparent glass wall as well. Luv then puts his lips on the
transparent glass wall. Khushi also puts her lips over the
transparent glass wall. Luv tries to kiss Khushi despite the
transparent glass wall standin’ between them. Luv puts her
one hand’s palm down on the transparent glass wall whilst
kissin’ her. Khushi also puts her one hands palm down on the
trasnparent glass wall whilst kissin’ Luv. Both of them kiss
each other passionately, despite the transparent glass wall
dividin’ them.

EXT. ROAD ADJACENT TO GH-4’S PARK’S FOOTPATH -- NIGHT

Pranshu is drivin’ Luv’s Dio. Luv is on the back. Luv has one
red rose in his left hand & a cigarette in his right hand.
Luv takes a quick puff outta his cigarette.

LUV
(smilin’)
Agar uska koi body builder ya lemur
type boyfriend hoga toh tu taiyar
rehna. Tu mera backup hai aaj,
samja.

Pranshu chuckles.

PRANHSU
Kamina hai tu ek number ka, tere
sath mera bhi sar phutega kisi din.
(beat)
Vese ready hai na ? Kya lagta hai..
Haa bolegi ?

Luv takes a puff outta his cigarette. Luv then throws his
cigarette on the ground whilst blowin’ the smoke outta his
nostrils.

LUV
(confident as hell)
Piece of cake, brother. Piece of
cake.

Pranshu pulls over Dio near the footpath. Luv gets off
Dio. Luv takes couple of steps forward.
 57.

Luv steps on the footpath adjacent to the road. Luv starts

wallkin’ a little whilst sportin’ a smirk on his face. Luv
turns around & looks at Pranshu. Luv opens his arms & does a
couple of funky arm movements. Pranshu shakes his head whilst
smilin’.

Luv turns around again. Luv looks in the front. Luv sees
Khushi & her friend clickin’ selfies beneath the footpath’s
light pole (lamppost). Luv smirks a little. Luv is wearin’ a
black shirt & a black pant. Luv is also sportin’ black cuff
links. Luv has this royal look - black clothes, black shoes,
black everything, but his heart is red (:D). Luv is walkin’
towards those girls whilst sportin’ a devilish grin,
confident about his skills when it comes to ignitin’ a spark
inside a strange girl’s heart. Luv is the Famous Roadside
Romeo rite now, carefree & bold.

Luv finally reaches near those two girls. Orange light is

shimmerin’ down from the lampost. Luv is smilin’ as he sees
the back of what he thinks is Khushi’s back (the vampire like
skintone). Luv clears his throat whilst holdin’ the red rose.
The two girls clickin’ selfies turn around, & see Luv
standin’ there with a red rose in his one hand. Luv looks
little surprised as he notices that the pale complexioned
girl is not Khushi, it’s someone else.

LUV (CONT’D)
Oh..
(confused)
You’re not the one I saw the other
night. Unless tumne meri aane ki
khabar seh palstic surgery karwali
rato rat, aghhhh.

The girls are little confused but smile a little. The pale
complexioned girl is Khushi’s elder sister, but love is
unaware it.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(whilst smilin’ a little)
I think you’ve mistaken me for
someone else, apparently.

Luv shakes his head whilst smilin’.

LUV
I bought this red rose. Yeh fool
neh, ek fool kharida tha apki ek
dost keh liye par abb..
(breathes a little)
Ghaya fool pani meh. Par aapki dost
neh aaj yaha navazat nai diyi. Koi
nai.
 58.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’)
Do you know Khushi personally ?

LUV
Khushi ?

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

Jise rose dene wale the ?

LUV
(saracastic)
Well, no.

Khushi’s elder sister shakes her head whilst gigglin’.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’)
Jaan na pehchaan, ese hi kisi ladki
koh rose de doge.

LUV
(flirtatious)
Everyone’s a stranger until you
give them a chance.

Khushi’s elder sister is clearly enjoyin’ Luv’s banter, she

gives Luv a look. The other girl standin’ besides her (let’s
call her Ridhi) smiles at Luv.

RIDHI
(as she recognizes luv)
I remember you.
Tum kal yaha peh the na raat ko,
Dio peh beth keh cigarette pi rahe
the.

LUV
(sarcastic)
How sweet. It’s good to be
remembered, thank you.

Both of the girls laugh a little. Luv laughs a little as

well. Khushi’s elder sister then looks at Luv.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

Well, khushi meri choti behen hai.

LUV
(surprised)
Woh aapki behen hai ?
(flirts with kushi’s elder
sister)
(MORE)
 59.

LUV (CONT'D)
Ummm. No wonder voh itni khubsurat
hai, aap par gayi hai bilkul.

Khushi’s elder sister smiles at Luv. The other girl smiles as

well as she sees Luv & Kushi exchangin’ a quick look.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’)
Thank you. But meri behen ka
boyfreind hai.

Luv opens his arms wide open like jesus christ, whilst
lookin’ up to the sky above him.

LUV
(lookin’ up to the sky
above him)
Yeh duniya tune mujhe tadpane keh
liye banai haina.
(khushi’s elder sister &
ridhi laugh like hell)
Sari ladkiya ya toh shadi shuda yah
toh boyfreind wali hoti hai.
Kya karuga meh iss tanhe seh jaahan
meh ? Jawab deh tu ?

Khushi’s elder sister & ridhi are still laughin’ a little.

Luv then looks back at Khushi’s elder sister.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’)
Vese kam kaam kya karte ho ? Writer
ho ?

LUV
(smilin’)
Nahi meh roadside romeo hu par dil
behlane keh liye kabhi kabar kagaz

boonta rehta hu.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’)
Well. Woh single nai hai.

Luv bites his lower lip.

LUV
Kesa hai dikne meh ? Uska
boyfriend... Hmmm ?

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

Bilkul tumhare jesa hai.
 60.

Luv raises both of his eyebrows, surprised. Luv swishes his

tongue around his right cheek.

LUV
Kad meh lamba hai mujhse ?

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

Nai, bilkul tumhare naap ka hai.

Luv chuckles.

LUV
(sarcastic)
Mere ek judwa bhai hua karta tha
bachpan meh, par mele meh...

Luv shakes his head a little. Ridhi & khushi’s elder sister
start to laugh.

LUV (CONT’D)
Nai mana voh.

Ridhi & Khushi’s elder sister laugh even harder. Luv smiles
at Khushi’s elder sister whilst lookin’ at her beautiful
face.

LUV (CONT’D)
(lifts his chin up a
little)
Is he a bad boy ?

Khushi’s sister looks at Ridhi & then looks at Luv.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

Haa thoda bahut. Bullet chala ta
hai toh, I guess..

Luv’s words “Ohhh!” silently, actin’ surprised, mockin’ that

fella,

LUV
(pullin’ khushi’s leg)
Bullet chalata hai. Hardcore. Mere

usskeh vibratin’ dildo ki awaaz keh

Khushi’s elder sister & ridhi laugh a little. Luv smirks as

they laugh.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’)
Esa nai, but you know. Ummm..
 61.

LUV
Well..
(gives khushi’s elder
sister a look)
Iss khubsurat gulab ka kya kiya
jaye toh ?

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’ in a sweet
manner)
Tum apne pass rakh sakte ho.

Luv is like “no”. Luv raises his index finger & shakes it a
little.

LUV
Gulab, also knows as rose, ladkiyo
keh liye hi banaye jate hai.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(flirtin’)
Accha aesa ?

Luv nods whilst smilin’. Khushi’s sister & Ridhi smile as

well.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER (CONT’D)

(smilin’)
Job karte ho ?

LUV
Mujhe dekh kar lagta hai ki mujhe
job ki zarurat hogi ? Come on..

Khushi’s elder sister shakes her head a little whilst

smilin’.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’)
Listen tum sweet ho, but...

Luv smirks.

LUV
But.. But... But me no buts. Anjana
sheher, anjaani galiya, anjane log.
Aur ek anjana dil. Kese kare
bharosa kisi par itni jaldi ..
Hmmm?

RIDHI
(smilin’)
Bilkul sahi farmaya.
 62.

LUV
Manlo ki meh tumhe kahi seh janta

Khushi’s elder sister gives Luv a look.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

Well.. Toh baat hi kuch aur hoti.

LUV
Thik he ladies. I won’t hold you
up. Aapko zaruri cheeze karni hai
jese ki selfiyan kichni hai iss

Luv smirks & looks at Khushi’s sister. Luv gives Khushi’s

elder sister a look.

LUV (CONT’D)
But I would love it. Agar aap yeh
rose logi toh. I’ll die a happy
man, If I see this rose in your
hand.

Khushi’s elder sister blushes a little.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’)
Sweet, But I’m married.

LUV
(intense eye contact)
So what ? Mujhe single ladkiya vese

Khushi’s elder sister smile a little whilst shakin’ her head.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’)
Unbelievable. Koi aur hee duniya

(points at ridhi with her
index finger)
Isko dedo.

Luv shakes his head whilst smilin’ a bit.

LUV
Nai. Behen ka karz ek behen hee
chuka sakti hai.

Khushi’s sister smiles whilst shakin’ her head. Luv extends

his one hand which has rose in it.
 63.

LUV (CONT’D)
Come on. Varna kachre keh dibbe meh
fek duga. Aur gulab aurton keh
hathon meh zyada suit karta hai
vajai kissi kachre keh dibbe meh.
Kyonki jab tak aurton keh hathon

fools koh hausla milta rahega.

Khushi’s sister considers it for a moment. Khushi’s elder

sister takes the rose. Luv sports a cocky grin, impressed
with himself for playin’ with a married woman’s heart.

LUV (CONT’D)
Thikh hai. I’ll leave. Meh jaa rah
hu, anarkali.

Khushi’s elder sister & Ridhi shakes their heads whilst

smilin’.

LUV (CONT’D)
Par agar tumahri behan koh uski
life meh drama chahiye, ya tumhe
apni life meh drama chahiye
toh.....

Luv laughs a little. Khushi’s elder sister & Ridhi laugh as

well.

RIDHI
(smilin’)
Tum pagal ho.

LUV
(whilst smilin’)
Baddi deri hui tumhe yeh conclusion
peh aane meh.
(tries to stall khushi)
You’re too young to be married,
don't you think so ?

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER

(smilin’)
Leave. Abb jao. Kisi din ya toh
apna sarr ya kisi ladki ka bassa
basaya ghar todne wale ho tum.

LUV
(whilst grinnin’)
Happy navratri.

KHUSHI’S ELDER SISTER & RIDHI

(smilin’)
Happy navratri.
 64.

Luv turns around. Luv starts walkin’ towards Pranshu. Pranshu

is shakin’ his head whilst smilin’. Luv keeps walkin’ &
arrives near his Dio. Luv sits on Dio’s backseat. Luv then
quickly takes out a cigarette from his front pocket. Luv
lights it up with his silver colored lighter. Luv then takes
a deep puff outta his cigarette. Luv taps Pranshu’s shoulder.
Pranshu turns the igntion & rams the accelerators handle. Off
they leave.

Dio is movin’ forward. Luv waves a goodbye at Khushi’s elder

sister & Ridhi, who are still standin’ under the footpath’s
lamppost. Both of the girls, wave Luv a goodbye whilst
smilin’. The Dio leaves them behind.

EXT. PARKIN’ LOT NEAR UMIYA TEMPLE - NEAR GH - 4 -- MIDNIGHT

SUPER IMPOSE : RAAT KEH BARA BAJE ( 12 : 00 AM )

Luv is sittin’ on his Dio with a monster energy drink in his

one hand & a cigarette in his other. Pranshu is sittin’ on a
bike parked near Dio, it’s a royal enfield - classic 350 -
black. Pranshu has a redbull in his one hand. Luv is quite.
Luv is just havin’ a cigarette whilst lookin’ lost in a deep
thought.

PRANHSU
(whilst lookin’ at luv)
Kya hua ?

Luv shakes his head a little whilst blowin’ the cigarette

smoke outta his nostrils.

LUV
(smilin’)
Kuch nai. Bass. Soch raha tha ki
kitni ajeeb baat hoti hai...

Beat. Pranshu doesn't like the suspense Luv is tryin’ to

create. Pranshu looks at Luv, waitin’ for Luv’s follow up.

PRANHSU
Beh bolna aise matt lataka mujhe.
Kya ajeeb hai ?

LUV
(Drinks little bit)
Voh ladki umra meh baaiiss-tebbis
ki lag rahi thi, itni si umra peh
shadi ka bandhan... kya re
zindagi.
(chuckles a little)

Pranshu shakes his head a little.

 65.

PRANHSU
Aur meh samja ki kuch serious baat
ho gi.

LUV
Serious hee toh hai ye baat. Aurton
koh jagad keh rakha hai inn kamino
neh. Fatafat shadi aur phir fatafat
bacche taki dil meh kisi aur ladke
keh liye jagah na rahe hai. Bass
dibbe meh kat jayegi zindagi, phir
Ram nam staya hai.

PRANHSU
Par bura kya hai ussmeh. India meh
sab choti umar peh hi shadi karte
hai.

LUV
Zindagi shuru bhi nai hoti aur ek
bandhan meh bandh jate ho. Hum
ladko keh liye toh badiya hai,
shadi keh baad bhi doh teen gadhi
milegi, jinhe lagega ki pese wala
hai ya careet set hai tabhi toh
shadi shuda hoga, toh banjati hai
sidechick, aur leti hai muft keh
tofien aur tofees.
Par ladkiyo koh toh...
(luv chuckles. Luv then
drinks a little bit of
redbull)
Gadhi hai sab ki sab. Agar meh
ladki hota toh, married ya
unmarried, meh chance na choru agar
koi remotely good lookin’ ladka
meri aur dekhe.

PRANHSU
Ladkiyo koh safety chahiye. Unki
aaknhien idhar udhar nai gumti.
Balki woh khud shadi keh bandhan
meh bandhna chahti hai. Kabhi suna
hai ladkiyo koh baat karte hue..
Shadi keh liye bawali hojati hai,
life ki ultimate cheez hai unke
liye, “the weddin’ day”. Love or
arrange... Buddhi nai chalti zyada
inn logo ki.

LUV
Well. It’s a shame then.
(devilish grin)
Par humm abhi zinda hai.
 66.

PRANHSU
Tu limit cross kar rah hai aajkal.
Kamine kisi ka toh divorce karwa
kar rahega. Single ladkiya nai
pasand aati kya tujhe, ha ? Logo ka
ghar todne peh tula hua hai tu
aajkal.

LUV
Parr koi ladki single hoti hi nai
India meh. Sab bandhan meh bandhi
hoti hai.

PRANHSU
Juthe. Kal hi intro karwata hu
tujhe ek single ladki seh, mere
college ki hai, pretty hai dikne

Luv chuckles.

LUV
No.

PRANHSU

Tujhe maza aata hai yeh sab karne

hota hai voh jab ek shadi shuda ya
kisi relationship meh jakkdi hui
aurat apne mard koh doh pal keh
liye bhulakar tumhare zehreeleh aur
nasheele alfazon meh kho jaye.

PRANHSU
Adultery illegal hai India meh, I
think.

Luv chuckles. Pranshu chuckles as well. Luv then looks at the

sky. Luv keeps lookin’ at it. Pranshu notices this. Pranshu
also looks at the sky.

PRANHSU (CONT’D)
Ladki dikh gai assman meh kya ?

Luv chuckles whilst still lookin’ at the sky.

LUV
(mellow expression)
Kabhi kabhi sochata hu ki hum kaha

Kisine toh jaan fooki hogi iss
brahmand meh.

PRANHSU
Yeh allah ya krishna seh puchlena
maut keh baad.

LUV
(chuckles a little)
Nahi.
(sincere)
Na hi koi allah hai upar, na hi koi
krishna. Na gita, na koran. Koi nai
deh sakta iska jawab.
Kyonki iss brhamand koh banane wala
ya wale, khud behosh hai. Iska
jawab na maut seh pehle na hi maut
keh baad milega. Yeh bass hai. Kyon
? Pata nai, parr bass hai.

Pranshu is listenin’ to Luv, patiently.

PRANHSU
Kyon khud koh tadpa raha
hai esseh ?

LUV
Kyonki dard hi iss cheeze keh karib
le jata hai mujhe. Dard keh bina
meh iss brahmand ki jadd koh
mehsoos nai kar sakta.

Pranshu smiles a little whilst shakin’ his head.

PRANHSU
Duniya meh tu sirf akela hoga jo
yeh sari cheeze sochta hoga. Baki
tu dekh sabko, lagge hue hai nach
gane, guda guddi kehlne meh. Kush

LUV (CONT'D)
Kyonki jaab meh kisi anjaan ladki

dardnak hai.
Mano doh pal keh liye dimaag keh

Aur isliye mujhe iss tarah awara

an escape for me.

Pranshu smiles a little. Pranshu throws his monster can on

the ground.

PRANHSU
(smilin’)
Bahut shana hai tu.

Luv smiles a little.

PRANHSU (CONT’D)
Par wese ladki khusurat thi bhai.

LUV
(whilst smilin’)

Maza aati. Pati dev bahar kaam par

Dhina dhin dha.

PRANHSU
(chuckles)
Kamine sale teri bhi shadi hogi

LUV
(sarcastic)
Toh meh uski biwi par dore daluga.

Pranshu chuckles a little. Pranshu shakes his head a little.

PRANSHU
(smilin’)
Nautanki hai tu.

LUV
Nai bhai. Shadi mere liye nai bani
hai. Aur na hi bacche.

PRANHSU
Toh kya karega ? Randwa gumega puri
zindagi ?
 69.

LUV
(whilst smilin’)
Jee ha bilkul. Bass idhar udhar muh

phiruga. Jab tak koi mera sar na
phod deh, tab tak karta rahuga
awaragardiya.

PRANHSU
Keh ta hu teri mata ji koh.
Samabhalo apne ashleel launde koh.

Luv chuckles.

PRANHSU (CONT’D)
Picture ki script kesi chal rahi
hai wese ?

LUV
So so. Khatam hone aayi hai bass.

Luv throws his empty monster on the ground.

PRANHSU
You miss her ?

LUV
Miss who ?

PRANHSU
Teri maal aur kon.

LUV
Maal ?

PRANHSU
Apka pehla pyar janab. Jiske jane
keh baad aap devdas ban gaye. Voh
maal.

LUV
(grins in a sad manner for
a second)
Nai. She left me for a good reason.
Meh usseh woh sari chize nai deh

(looks little sad)
Family. Security. Normal life. Voh

LUV (CONT'D)

The show must go on.

PRANHSU
(empathizes with luv)
Tu janta hai ki voh tujhe bhi miss

Luv smiles a little whilst projectin’ a poignant aura.

LUV
Mene hi durr dhakela tha usseh

naaaa.

PRANHSU
Voh tujhe chahti thi.
Aur agar aaj voh yaha hoti toh

Luv licks his lips a little. Luv tries to shake sadness off
his face.

LUV
So so.
(grins a little)
Chal gumte hai kahi. Kudasan wala
cafe khula hoga abhi shayad. Kyonki
mujhe bhuk lagi hai baddi.

Pranshu gets off the royal enfield classic 350 whilst Luv un-
do’s the Dio’s side stand, and makes the Dio stand straight.
Pranshu sits on the Dio’s backseat. Pranshu keeps starin’ at
royal enfield’s black classic 350.

PRANHSU
Bhai bike sexy lagti hai.

LUV
(chuckles)
Gareeb. Mere garpe bmw r5 padi hai,

PRANHSU

No thank you. Gearless chala ne meh

Luv chuckles whilst hittin’ the self start.

LUV
(smilin’)
Kamine.

Pranshu smirks as Luv rams the accelerator handle. We see Luv

& Pranshu leavin’ on the Dio.

INT. GANDHI PARK -- MIDNIGHT

SUPER IMPOSE : January / 2019 ( Gandhinagar )

Luv’s listenin’ to a debussy - claire de lune, via his

phone’s speaker whilst lyin’ on the park’s bench. Luv is
lookin’ up to the sky :moon. Luv smiles a little whilst
takin’ a puff outta his cigarette. Luv keeps smokin’ whilst
lookin’ up at the moon in the sky.

LUV (V.O.)
See. Meh yeh nai keh raha ki mujhe

INT. GYM - INFOCITY -- EARLY MORNING

SUPER IMPOSE : January / 2019

Luv is wearin’ a black track pant & a white tshirt. Luv is

runnin’ on the treadmill. Luv looks little intense.

LUV (V.O.)
Nai mujhe body banane ka koi shauk
nai hai.
(MORE)
 72.

LUV (V.O.) (CONT'D)

Mujhe bass aurton koh pasine seh
lat pat hote hue dekna pasand hai.
Jab unka badan chand ki tarah
chamak na shuru karta hai. Jab unki
sanson ki awaz sunai deni shuru
hoti hai... Baya bhi nai kar sakta
uss ehsaas koh.

Luv hits the stop button. Luv slowly gets off the treadmill.
Luv starts to head for his hideout, the leg machine, it’s
placed near the wall, one could sit behind it & have a
wholseome view of the entire gym, one could surf his phone
without anyone lookin’ at him or her. Luv is halfway thru,
headin’ for his hideout.

Whilst walkin towards his hideout, Luv’s eyes fall on a

pretty girl doin’ squats, she looks at Luv whilst doin’
squats. As both of them are havin’ a moment, the pretty girl
loses her balance, she falls down whilst lookin’ at Luv. Luv
instantly runs to the rescue, Luv takes a knee. Luv then puts
his one hand over the pretty girl’s shoulder, she is wearin’
a tshirt, a black sport bra inside that tshirt, black
trainin’ shorts to spice up her look (let’s call her Laila).
Laila looks at Luv. Luv looks at Laila whilst lookin’
concerned.

LUV
You alrite ?

Laila smiles at Luv. Luv helps Laila to get up on her feet.

Laila leaves for the bench (bench to rest or do leg raises
whilst sittin’ on it) near her. Laila sits on it & whilst
breathin’ heavily, wipin’ her face with a towel. Luv heads
towards the leg machine. Luv gets behind the leg machine, he
then sits on the seat of the leg machine. Luv grabs his phone
& starts surfin’ the internet. Luv whilst sittin’ down on the
leg machine’s seat, looks at Laila. Laila is still sittin’ on
the restin’ bench. Laila looks at Luv. Luv & Laila are both
starin’ at each other.

LUV (V.O.)
Bass yeh nai hona chahiye tha.
Pichle doh mahino seh aa raha hu
meh yaha. Aur aaj yeh nai mohtarama
aa tapki, aur pyar bhari nigaho seh
mujhe dekhna shuru kardiya.

As Luv is lookin’ at Laila, Laila’s father walks in from the

other end of the gym. Laila’s father looks at Luv & then
looks at Laila who is starin’ at Luv. Luv notices Laila’s
father & deduces the father/daughter connection via the
uncanny facial resemblance between the both. Luv looks down
in to his phone, escapin’ Laila’s father’s gaze.
 73.

Laila gets up as her father tells her to workout instead of

sittin’ ideally. Laila starts to follow her father. Luv
notices this.

Luv then looks at his watch, it’s time to leave. Luv gets off
the giant castle like leg machine. Luv starts to head for the
gym exit/entrance door. Luv pushes the door. The door is made
up of a transparent glass. Luv walks out.

EXT. LUV'S HOUSE -- MIDNIGHT

Luv’s room’s lights are still on.

INT. LUV'S HOUSE - TOP FLOOR - LUV'S ROOM -- MIDNIGHT

Luv looks little tired. Luv rubs his one eye whilst typin’ on
his typewriter. Luv’s eyes are little dim. Luv just looks at
the type writer. Luv wants to sleep real bad. Luv closes his
eyes a little.

SMASH CUT TO :

EXT. INFOCITY CIRCLE -- NIGHT (DREAM SEQUENCE)

SUPER IMPOSE : 4:OO AM

Luv is beatin’ the livin’ crap outta some traffic policeman.

Luv is on top of him. Luv is sweatin’ him with powerful
punches. Repetitive punches. Luv has a broodin’ look on his
face. Luv’s one eye is little bruised (black/blue). Luv just
keeps punchin’ the policeman’s face.

A bleep happens. Screen goes black for a split second. Then

again comes back to life. But now we see Luv is beatin’ a
white pale man wearin’ spects. Luv is beatin’ him
mercilessly. Luv is punchin’ his nose like hell. Luv isn’t
holdin’ his punches. Luv just wants to smash the life outta
this weird lookin’ white lizard, a four eyed lizard (in
regards to his spects). A bleep happens again. Screen turns
black for a split second. Then again comes back to life.

This time Luv is lyin’ flat down on the circle’s centre.

Luv’s back is facin’ the road. Luv has a rope around his
neck. Luv is bein’ dragged by a fierce yet beautiful lookin’
woman wearin’ heels with an all black leather (black leather
pants & black lether jacket) look. Luv is scratchin’ the road
with his fingers, tryin’ to hold his ground whilst he gets
dragged by this woman in black.
 74.

Luv is findin’ it difficult to breathe. Luv starts to feel

like a turkey inside a burnin’ hell.

SMASH CUT TO :

INT. LUV'S HOUSE - TOP FLOOR - LUV'S ROOM -- EARLY MORNING

Luv wakes up. Luv lifts his head from the writin’ desk
quickly whilst lookin’ little tensend. Luv realises that he
has been dreamin’ all this time. Luv rubs his eyes. Luv looks
outside his window, whilst sittin’ on his chair. It’s still
little dark. Blue tint is still visible across the sky. Luv
breathes a little whilst lookin’ at his typewriter. Luv then
grabs a pack of marlboro lyin’ near the type writer. Luv gets
one cigarette out & lights it up with his lighter. Luv takes
a puff outta his cigarette. Luv then looks at his watch &
realizes that it’s time to hit the gym. Luv smirks a little
whilst shakin’ his head.

INT. GYM - INFOCITY -- EARLY MORNING

Luv is sittin’ on a restin’ bench whilst starin’ at Laila who

is workin’ out in the other corner of the gym. Laila gets
tired of doin’ sqauts & decides to sit on a restin’ bench
located on the other side of the gym.

Laila sits on the restin’ bench whilst takin’ a deep breathe.

Laila notices Luv starin’ at her. Laila looks at Luv.

Laila keeps lookin’ at Luv. Both of them are starin’ at each

other. Luv licks his lower lip in a nervous manner as Laila
wipes the sweat off her neck with a towel whilst lookin’ at
Luv. Luv looks at Laila’s neck. Luv then looks at Laila’s
beautiful face. Sharp nose. Wheatish complexion. Black eyes.

LUV (V.O.)
Sabse khubsurat gaddi hoti hai jab
aaap kisi anjaani aurat ki ankhon
meh ankh milate ho, aur voh bhi
aapki ankhon meh ankh milati hai.
(chuckles a bit)
Najane jese alfazon ki zarurat hi
nahi mehsoos hoti. Kabhi kabhi
sochta hu ki, kash hum sirf ankhon
seh hee batien karte, vajay alfazon
seh. Kyonki ankhien kabhi juth nai
bolti. Insaan ka asli roop dikhta
hai uski ankhon meh. Sare mukhote
tut jate hai. Pyar naftrat sab
nazar aa jata hai inn akhon meh.
Aur iss waqt mujhe iss ladki ki
ankhon meh pyar nazar aa raha hai.
 75.

Luv keeps starin’ at Laila. Laila isn’t backin’ down either.

As both of them are starin’ at each other, Laila’s father
walks in from the other corner of the gym. Laila’s father
looks at Luv whilst puttin’ his one hand over Laila’s
shoulder from behind. Luv looks at Laila’s father. Luv looks
at Laila’s father for a second. Laila stands up whilst
lookin’ at Luv. Laila starts walkin’ in the other direction
with her father. Luv simply ignores it & takes his phone out.
Luv starts to surf social media on his phone. Luv then starts
scorllin’ & clickin’, tryna act busy.

LUV (V.O.)
Kassh pyar sirf ankhon seh hota
vajai alfazon keh chalawon seh. Toh
shayad yeh duniya aaj khubsurat
hoti.

Luv puts the phone back in his pocket. Luv gets off the
restin’ bench & starts to walks towards the other side of the
gym. Luv picks up couple of weights & starts liftin’ them.
Luv looks at the mirror wall in front of him. Luv slowly
lifts the dumbfuckinbells, starts doin’ those stupid biceps
set.

LUV (V.O.)
Aur yeh namuno ki tarah vazan
uthavo. Janwar bano. Sach kahu toh
jis duniya meh janwar bankar izzat
hasil hoti ho voh duniya ka vajoot
nasta nabut ho jana chahiye. Parr
karna padega, inn namuno ki vajah
seh. If you want peace, then
prepare for war.

Luv is now liftin’ dumb-bells. Laila has arrived in the dumb-

bell area as well. Luv lifts his dumb- bells whilst lookin’
at Laila. Laila is on the other side, couple of meters away
from him. Laila is liftin’ girly dumb-bells. Luv is starin’
at Laila whilst liftin’ dumb-bells. Laila is lookin’ at the
mirror wall in front of her whilst liftin’ her girly dumb-
bells, avoidin’ Luv’s gaze.

But now Laila has had enough, Laila looks at Luv, via the
mirror. Both of them are starin’ at each other via the
mirror, none of them is concerned about the workout anymore,
they’re just eye fuckin’ each other. Both of them keep
starin’ at each other, even when the people workin’ out near
them notice them starin’ at each other whilst doin’ the bicep
set. Then Luv realizes Laila’s father comin’ in the dumb-bell
area of the gym. Luv breaks the eye contact, so does Laila.
Both of them are now lookin’ in front whilst liftin’ dumb-
bells. But Laila’s father knows whats up. Laila’s father
looks at Luv who is lifitin’ dumb-bells.
 76.

LUV (V.O.)
Kash mere pass jaduyi takat hoti.
Toh iss kamine koh yaha seh gayab
kar deta. Puri baazi bigad di iss
budhe neh. Acche seh ankhien mil
rahi thi dono ki par nai.. tapak hi
padna tha isko bich meh. India meh
ladki koh patane seh pehle uske
baap koh pata na padta hai, kya
musibat hai yar. Aur dekho toh
kamina kese gure jaa raha hai
mujhe.

Laila’s father then gets two dumb-bells. Laila’s father

starts doin’ the bicep workout with them. Luv has had enough.
Luv is look little uneasy. Luv puts the dumb fuckin’ bells
back to the stand & leaves.

Luv still takes a quick glance at Laila whilst walkin’ away

from the dumb fuckin’ bell area of the gym.

Luv walks to the other end of the gym. Luv sits on a

quadriceps workout machine. Luv takes out his phone. Luv then
starts surfin’ the net for couple of seconds. Luv then
rotates his neck a little. Luv then looks at the centre area
of the gym.

Luv licks his lower lip in a nervous manner as he sees Laila

lookin’ at him whilst sittin’ on a restin’ bench, situated in
the centre area of the gym. Luv just keeps starin’ at Laila.
Luv & Laila are starin’ at each other whilst Laila’s father
is lookin’ at them, both of them are eye fuckin’ each other.
Laila’s father ignores it & heads for his cardio session. Luv
& Laila are explorin’ each other’s mellow souls. Luv licks
his lower lip a little, again. Laila is lookin’ at Luv with
love.

LUV (V.O.)
Yeh pehli baar hua hai shayad ki
kisi ladki neh ek nahi, balki char
bari mere samne dekha ho.
Aur chan lamho keh liye nai par
puri minuton keh liye meri aur pyar

 77.

EXT. GANDHI PARK -- LATE MORNING

Luv & Pranshu are sittin’ on a bench. Luv has his both feet
on the bench. Luv has hugged his knees together whilst
restin’ his chin on his right kneecap. Luv is lookin’ in
front. Pranshu is havin’ a monster.

PRANHSU

LUV

PRANHSU
Aur nai toh kya aaj tak mene tujhe

Aur jis tarah seh tune iss ladki ka
description diya hai mujhe, lag

Luv says nothin’. Luv just stares in front whilst restin’ his
head on his right kneecap. Luv then breathes a little.

LUV
Pata nai par..

Iski ankhon meh masoomiyat jalak

LUV (CONT'D)
Pata nai, manno ki pehli baar

Luv just stares in front. Luv with all his intellectual &
creative talents, is findin’ himself lost when it comes to
somethin’ as simple as love.

LUV
(mellow)
Mujhe darr hai ki agar meh iss keh
pyar meh kho gaya toh meri dusri
manzil mujhse dur na chali jaye.

PRANHSU
(tryin’ to steer Luv in to
a pleasant direction)
Ajeeb insaan hai tu, pyar koi paap
nai hai ! Kisi aurat keh sath puri
zindagi bitana koi paap nai hai !

Luv says nothin’, he simply listen to Pranshu’s wise words.

PRANHSU (CONT’D)
Pyar seh zyada iss duniya meh koi
khusburat cheez nai hoti, luv. Aur
phir tera toh nam meh hi luv hai.
Phir ese kese chalega ?

Luv chuckles.

LUV
(smilin’)
Par sirf ek dikkat hai.

PRANHSU

LUV
Iska baap bhi kamina sala, uskeh

PRANHSU

Luv chuckles.

LUV
Sale, dalal hai uska baap kya ?
Dande marega mujhe. Nai nai..

PRANHSU
Toh phir kya ? Valentines peh
propose marna hai tujhe usseh toh
phir kuchna kuch toh karna padega

LUV
Pata nai kab aur kese karuga.

PRANHSU
Tu ajeeb hai, aaj tak tune hazaro

Sadak ke bich. Sadak keh baju meh.
Sadak peh let kar, aur aaj tu dar

LUV
Meh isseh pasand karta hu, Pranshu.
(Pranshu takes a sip from
the mosnter can)
Isseh biwi bana chahta hu meri.

Pranshu spits the monster drink outta his mouth. Pranshu puts
the monster can down on the bench. Luv is unaffected by
Pranshu’ theatrics. Pranshu is in shock. Pranshu turns
towards Luv whilst lookin’ pale.

PRANHSU
(intensely lookin’ at luv)
Kya ? kya ? Phir seh bolto ?

Luv smiles a little. Luv then turns his head towards Pranshu
whilst still restin’ his head on his right kneecap.

LUV
I love her.
(beat)
I want to marry her.

Pranshu’s mouth bcomes wide open as he hears this. Pranshu

then starts smilin’ at Luv. Luv looks in front again. Luv
still has his chin on his right kneecap.

PRANHSU

luv)

PRANHSU (CONT'D)
Pehli bahar tujhe mene pyar ya

Chote bacche jesi massomiyat seh

Luv chuckles a little whilst turnin’ his head towards

Pranshu’s direction.

PRANHSU (CONT’D)

Luv smiles a little.

LUV
Kuch baaki hai can meh ?

Pranahu grabs the monster can & gives it to Luv. Luv takes it
& starts gulpin’ it down.
 81.

PRANHSU
Meh aata hu tere garpe aaj, mithai

Luv chukles whilst throwin’ the monster can away.

Kabhi kabhi teri batien sach lagti

PRANHSU

Luv takes a deep breathe. Luv nods. Luv then smiles a little
whilst still restin’ his chin on his right kneecap. Pranshu
smiles as well.

INT. LUV'S HOUSE - TOP FLOOR - LUV'S ROOM -- AFTERNOON

Luv has a script paper in his hand. Pranshu is there with

Luv shakes his head after deliverin’ the dialogue. Luv looks
at Pranshu.

LUV (CONT’D)
Nai yeh wala kuch zyada ho gaya.

Pranshu looks little miffed.

PRANHSU
Pichle ek gante seh tin bar tune
nayi script likhi hai. Joh inassan
hazro bar bina plannin’ keh kisi

roadside romeo kehne meh.

LUV
Kamine tujhe pata toh hai ki yeh
ladki alag hai. She is special.

PRANHSU
(nods)
Ok ! Jesa app kaho writer saab.

Luv looks back into his script paper. Luv is about to read
another line from his script paper, but pauses a little. Luv
looks at Pranshu.

LUV
(licks his lower lips a
little)
Par main chiz toh bhul hi gaye.

PRANHSU
(tensed)
Kya ?
 83.

LUV
Uska baap bhi gym aata hai uske
sath. Aur uske baap keh hote hue
kese puchuga usseh date par.

Pranshu starts thinkin’ of a solution.

PRANHSU
Kitna bada hai yeh gym vese ?

LUV
Kaafi bada hai.

PRANHSU
Toh jabb yeh gadha gym ki dusri
side workout kar raha ho, tab gus
jana tu, fatafat propose mar dena,
simple.

Luv takes a deep breathe. Luv nods.

LUV
Genreally ese case meh, uskeh baap

(pranshu chuckles)
Parr yeh ladki special hai. Meh nai
chahta ki koi nautanki karke sari
baazi bigad du.

PRANHSU
Tujhe itna serious kabhi nai dekha
mene. Matlab yeh ladki tujhe charo
kahne chit gar gai.

LUV
Haa. Iski ankhien yar.
(closes his eyes a little)
Kya maal hai.

Pranshu chuckles a little. Luv & Pranshu then look back into
the script they have been plannin’ for proposin’ Laila. Luv
then gets this crazy idea all of sudden. Luv looks at Pranshu
with an intense look on his face.

LUV (CONT’D)
(excited)
Oiiii ! Aagar hum dono milke yeh
pata laga deh ki voh kaha rehti
hai.
(pranshu raises his one
eyebrow a little)
(MORE)
 84.

LUV (CONT’D)

(dramatic)
Propose, propose aur dher sara

Kabool. Kabool. Kabool.

PRANHSU
(shakin’ his head a
little)
Nai bhai ! Stalkin’ karte pakade

janta hee hai. Yellow is the color.
Filth. Policewale thokh dege
hummeh. Nayi bhai, it’s too risky.

LUV
Police ki maa ki ankh !
Yeh karna hai matlab karna hai
bass.

Pranshu shakes his head. Luv stares at him in a threatnin’

manner, flarin’ his nostrils. Pranshu finally gives in.
Pranshu nods.

PRANHSU
Toh kya plan hai kal suba keh
liye ?
Tu konsa vehicle chalata hai voh
dekha hai ussne kya ?
Hmmm ?

LUV
Haa, unfortunately. Fuck it, toh

PRANHSU

Luv puckers his eyebrows.

LUV
Isseh aacha toh police koh hee

PRANHSU

PRANHSU (CONT'D)
Meh bhul gaya tha ki teri bike meh

LUV
Car le lete hai meri mammi ki.

PRANHSU

Ha badiya nai. Silver color wali

Luv chuckles.

LUV
Toh phir tera pleasure le le te

PRANHSU
Thikh hai. Par meh chaluaga.

LUV
Kyon ?

PRANHSU
Kyon ? Tu kamina hai issliye.
Pichle kuch mahino seh teri drivin’
ek dum rough ho gai hai. Pagalo

Tujhe teri jaan ki nai padi toh koi

hai.

LUV
Pagal mat ban. Usseh mera chehra
dikh jayega agar meh piche beta

PRANHSU
Helmet pehen lena. Simple.

Luv rolls his eyes. Luv looks little pissed.

LUV
Haa ek dum normal lagega ki driver

keh gum rahe. Law abidin’ citizens,
nai ? Pagal. Log kahe ge ki dekho
doh gunde jaa rahe hai bank lut neh
subah subah.
 86.

Pranshu licks his lower lip, realizin’ how dumb his solution
was.

PRANHSU
Thik hai chal. Par please dhire seh
chalana. Mujhe blood pressure ki
goliya leni padti hai jabhi tere
piche bethta hu.

LUV
Ha roh matt. Dhire seh chalauga.

Pranshu starts gulpin’ down his monster can. Luv takes a long
puff outta his cigarette.

EXT. INFOCITY - CIRCLE - ROAD -- MORNING

Luv & Pranshu are on a pleasure pro ( two wheeler ). Luv is

wearin’ a black jacket to compliment his black helmet.
Pranshu is wearin’ a brown leather jacket. Luv & Pranshu are
lookin’ at the infocity’s gate.

PRANHSU
Bhai tune kaha tha yeh log 7:12 koh

Luv has kept his helmet’s windshield open.

LUV
Bhadve hai sab keh sab. Roz 7:12
koh nikal jate hai aur aaj.. Pata
nai konsa hawan kar rahe hoge
andar. Arnold schwaznigger ki maki
aakh.

PRANHSU
Mujhe toh bhukh lagi hai. Nasta bhi
nai kiya subah.

LUV
Roh matt. Sidha hotel jayege iske
baad.

Luv then looks at his silver omega watch. Luv then looks at
the gate. Luv shakes his head a little.

LUV (CONT’D)
Fuck it ! Meh cigarette pi raha hu.

Luv grabs his lighter & a pack of marlboro from his jeans
pocket. Luv then gets one marlboro out & lights it up.
 87.

Luv takes a puff outta it whilst puttin’ the lighter &

cigarette pack back in his jeans pocket. Pranshu inhales some
second hand smoke & starts coughin’.

PRANHSU
(whilst coughin’)
Kya beh subah shaam chuk chuk gadi.
Dhua dhua. Kam cigarette piya kar.

Luv keeps smokin’. Luv then sees gold honda city leavin’ the
parkin’ lot & headin’ towards the exit/entrance gate of the
infocity. Luv throws his cigarette on the ground. Luv puts
his helmet’s windshield on. Luv hits the self start.

PRANHSU (CONT’D)
Woh nikal rahe.

LUV
Dikha mujhe.

The gold honda city comes outta the infocity’s exit/entrance

gate. Laila & her father are in it. Laila’s father is drivin.
The honda city takes a mild right after comin’ outta the
exit/entrnace gate, it moves half way around the circle &
goes straight.

PRANHSU
Abb.

Luv hits the accelerator. The pleasure takes off like a

rocket. Pranhsu holds the side grip of the pleasure pro to
save himself from Luv’s rough drivin’. Luv starts followin’
the gold Honda city.

EXT. SOCIETY - LAILA’S RESIDENCE - MORNING

Luv slows down near the street opposite the society’s

entrance. Luv opens his helmet’s windshield a little. Luv &
Pranshu see the gold Honda city car parked near the third bun-
glow in the society.

PRANHSU
Bhai pese wali party lag rahi hai.

LUV
Mil gaya address. Dera laga keh
bethe geh 14th koh.

PRANHSU
Chall abb.

Luv shuts the windshield of the helmet. Luv twists the

accelerator’s handle & off the pleasure pro goes.
 88.

INT. RESTAURANT - 3RD FLOOR --- LATE MORNING

Luv & Pranshu are at this beautiful restaurant. Brown leather

chairs. The restaurant has a brown / black color palette.

Luv & Pranshu are sittin’ at this table placed near the
window side. Luv is havin’ a rava dosa whilst Pranshu is
havin’ a pitsa.

PRANHSU
(whilst havin’ a pitsa)
Propose marne bike leke jana. Teri
bmw r5 sahi lagegi.

Luv furrows his eyebrows whilst takin’ a bite from his rava
dosa dish.

LUV
Kyon ? Dio meh kya kharabi hai ?

PRANHSU
Ladkiyo koh bike acchi lagti hai.
Dio ya pleasure meh personality nai
padegi.

LUV
(chuckles a little)
Karish koh toh Dio peh hi gumata
tha, usseh toh koi dikkat nai thi.

PRANHSU
Haa par voh char sal pehle ki baat
hai. Abb ladkiyo koh bike zyada
pasand aati hai.

Luv shakes his head a little.

LUV
Thikh hai pitaji, aur kuch.

Pranshu shakes his head a little. Pranshu & Luv start eatin’.
Pranshu then chuckles for no reason.

LUV (CONT’D)
Kya hua ?

PRANHSU
(smilin’)
Nothin’, I just realized ki karish
ki graduation khatam hogai hogi abb
tak. Internship bhi khatam hone aai
hogi. Writer ban gai hogi woh waha
shayad.
 89.

Luv swallows a lump whilst lookin’ at Pranshu. Luv is feelin’

re traumatized once again, the pain of pushin’ karish away
from her life, the pain of turnin’ into a cracked
intellectual after her departure is hittin’ Luv at once all
of a sudden. Luv starts to think of the old times.

DISOOLVE TO :

INT. SCHOOL GARDEN -- EARLY MORNIN’

SUPER IMPOSE : 2014

Luv is wearin’ a school uniform (grey trousers - white

shirt). Luv is waitin’ for some one whilst havin’ a monster
energy can. Luv looks at his watch. Luv is sittin’ alone. Luv
looks around, but no is around. Luv is sittin’ on a bench all
by himself. In the background of the Luv’s bench, is a thick
greeny grassy bushy wall. It’s almost like a fantasy garden.
Luv lookin’ little miffed. Luv puts down the monster can on
the bench. Luv then tries to take out his Nokia phone from
his tight pant’s pocket (pant’s front pocket). Luv hits the
monster can away (accidently) whilst takin’ out his Nokia
phone. Luv shakes his head a little whilst leanin’ down to to
pick up his monster can from the greeny grassy ground.

LUV
Satyanash.

Luv gets hold of the monster can & looks up, only to find
Karish standin’ in front of him. Karish has a moon like
complexion / black eyes / black hair / sharp nose. Karish is
wearin’ a grey skirt and a white shirt with a grey jacket on
it.

Karish smiles at Luv as Luv looks at her. Karish then all of

suddens squeezes a water pouch on Luv’s face. Luv’s face
receives the sudden jolt of water. Luv’s hands move in front
of his face, a natural reflex. Luv looks little shocked. Luv
starts wipin’ his face whilst starin’ at Karish. Karish
starts to laugh at Luv, her laugh is captivatin’, but Luv
looks little pissed.

LUV (CONT’D)
(pissed)
Thapppad padega tumhe aaj, mazak
nai kar raha meh.

Karish sits besides Luv on the bench whilst Luv starts wipin’
the water off his face. Karish starts to suck water outta the
pouch whilst lookin’ at Luv, childlike. Luv looks at Karish.
 90.

LUV (CONT’D)
Baddi masti suj rahi hai tumhe aaj.
Panch minute late ho tum upar seh.
Aese kese chalega ?

KARISH
(whilst smilin’)
Kyonki kal raat koh tumne mera
phone nai uthaya tha isliye. Yeh
tumhari punishment hai

Luv takes a moment. Luv licks his lower lip. Luv realizes his
mistake. Luv smiles a little whilst shakin’ his head, his
anger is coolin’ off.

LUV
(playful)
Humesha yaad rakhna yeh baat,
ladkeh der raat koh kabhi phone nai
utha te.

And Luv’s back to his true self, a toddler teasin’ & playin’
pranks on people.

KARISH
Kyon ?

LUV
(playful smile)
Kyonki raat koh hum busy hote hai.

KARISH
(playful smile)
Dusri ladkiyo keh sath. Hmmm?

Luv chuckles a little. Luv looks at Karish, all loviee

dovvie.

LUV
(smilin’)
Kon sikhata hai tujhe yeh sari
cheeze ?
 91.

KARISH
(playful)

KARISH
(smilin’)
Cute hai na tumse. Aur smart bhi

Accha ?

LUV (CONT'D) (CONT’D)

(such a diva he is)
Toh phir mere sath kya kar rahi ho.

Hmmm?

Karish hits Luv’s chest. Luv starts to laugh.

KARISH
(little annoyed)
Tang matt kar mujhe.

LUV
Ha toh kal seh late matt aana tu,

KARISH
(smilin’ in mellow manner)
Arrey baba, meri scooty meh petrol

 92.

LUV
(playful)
Meh ghar keh bahar aata tujhe pick

Sirf ek phone call, aur meh aa jata

KARISH
(smilin’)

LUV
(smilin’)
Kal aau tum kaho toh milne tumhre
pitaji koh.

KARISH
(smilin’)
Koi zarurat nai.

Karish kisses Luv’s cheek. Luv smirks whilst Karish kisses

his cheek. Karish then puts her head on Luv’s chest. Luv puts
her one arm around karish whilst smilin’.

KARISH (CONT’D)
Hum dono jab athra keh hojaye tab
aana mere ghar peh.

LUV
(smilin’)
Kyon ?

KARISH
(smilin’)
Mujhe bhi pata nai ? Kyon aaoge tum
hmmm ? Vese bhi kya lagti hu meh
tumhari.

LUV
(chuckles)
Shadi kyon karni hai tumhe mujhse ?

KARISH
I don’t know. Ese hee kabhi ki nahi
mene. Experience karna hai, you
know.

Luv chuckles.

LUV
(smilin’)
That’s a reason alrite.
 93.

Karish chuckles. Luv smiles. It’s a perfect scene, two lovers

in each other’s arms.

BACK TO PRESENT:

EXT. STREET IN KUDASAN - FRONT OF A SHOE SHOP -- MORNIN’

Luv is ridin’ a bmw r5 motorcycle. Pranhsu is sittin’ on the

backseat, carryin’ flowers & a gift for Luv. Luv stops his
bmw r5 motorcycle. Pranshu gets off the bmw r5’s backseat.
Luv gets off the bmw r5 as well. Luv then looks at Laila
walkin’ outta of a shoe store.

PRANHSU
(shakin’ his head)
Aaj kal ladkiya khud hee khud keh
liye giftien kharidne lag gai hai
valentines peh. Humari zarurat hi

Luv turns around to get the red flowers tied together with a
black thread from Pranshu’s hand, Luv then proceeds to get a
small red colored gift wrapped box from Pranshu’s other hand,
and from the looks of it, it looks like a watch. Pranshu nods
at Luv.

PRANHSU (CONT’D)
Khali hath matt lotna. Mujhe barat
meh nagin dance kiye bina chain nai
padega.

Luv smirks. Luv then turns around & starts walkin’ towards
Laila. Laila is surfin’ her smartphone whilst walkin’ down
the street. Luv starts walkin’ towards Laila. Laila is
walkin’ in Luv’s direction whilst her head down, surfin’ her
stupid smartphone.

Luv finally reaches in front of Laila. Laila looks away from

her smartphone. Laila looks at Luv standin’ in front of her.
Laila just stares at Luv. Laila then looks at the red roses &
the small red colored gift wrapped box. Luv takes a moment.
Luv just keeps lookin’ at Laila. Pin drop silent ( I know
it’s “silence”, but I prefer it my way ). Luv then swallows a
lump whilst lookin’ real vulnerable.

LUV
(with upmost sincerity)
Happy valentines.

Laila says nothin’. Laila just stares at Luv. Couple of

seconds pass like that.
 94.

LUV (CONT’D)
(smilin’)
Gungi ho ? Mute ?

Laila shakes her head a little.

LAILA
No.

LUV

LAILA

No.

Beat. Luv bites his lower lip a little whilst smilin’ in a

serene manner.

LUV
(takin’ it to the moon)
Non binary ?

Laila chuckles a little whilst puttin’ her one hand over her
forehead. Laila then looks at Luv’s smile.

LAILA
No.

Luv knows that he’s got her now.

 95.

LUV
(horrendous cowboy accent)
You fancy a cuppa coffee ? Ma’am ?
(looks at Laila’s lips)
Hmmm ?

Laila chuckles a little. Laila then stares at Luv whilst

Luv & Laila are sittin’ besides each other ( round leather
chairs. round brown colored table ) Television is on, fashion
Tv is runnin’ on it. Cafe is almost empty at this point (
duh... it’s mornin’ ).

Luv passes tissue to Laila. Laila wipes her coffee mustache.

Laila forgets a spot on her upper lip. Luv notices it &
raises her hand.

LUV
You missed a spot.

Luv proceeds to wipe the spot with his thumb. Laila looks
knee deep in love as Luv wipes the coffee off her upper lip.

LUV (CONT’D)

Laila smiles at Luv. Laila then looks at Luv’s coffee cup

lyin’ ideally on the table.

LAILA
Tumhe coffee nai pasand ?

LUV
No. I love coffee. Par tumhe coffee
pite hue dekh, mera pet bhar gaya.

Laila giggles a little.

LAILA

Luv opens his mouth a little.

LUV

Well, I guess you could say that.
Yeah. Abb tumhare pitaji seh

Laila chuckles a little.

LAILA
I mean, gym par smile kar sakte the

LUV
I think tumhare pitaji koh woh gale

Luv smiles a little. Laila smiles as well.

LAILA
Maybe you’re right.

Luv then looks at Laila’s lips. Luv licks his lips. Laila
notices this & looks at Luv’s lips . Both of them then look
into each other’s eyes. Luv then breaks the eye contact. Luv
looks sideways all of sudden. TOO MUCH SEXUAL TENSION GOIN’
ON HERE ! Luv then again looks at Laila. Laila smiles at Luv.
Luv smiles back.

LUV
(whilst lookin’ at Laila)
Kya tumhe der raat mere sath you
know..

Laila widen her eyes a little. Luv quickly realizes that what
he said came out little risquéish.

LUV (CONT’D)

her head over Luv’s shoulder. Luv swallows a lump as Laila
rests her head on his shoulder. Luv looks vulnerable.

Luv turns his head a little. Luv sees Laila’s head on his
shoulder. Laila is just restin’ her head on Luv’s shoulder
whilst lookin’ in front. Luv just stares at Laila, it’s like
some one just poured an icy cold water on his burnin’ heart.
Luv puts his head over Laila’s head which is restin’ on his
shoulder. Laila says nothin’.

LUV
(restin’ side of his head
on Laila’s head)
Tumhara koi boyfreind tha pehle ?

LAILA

Ummm.. Yeah. Highschool meh thi ek.

LUV
(chuckles)
Mujhe pata tha ki tum ajeeb ladki
ho. Par itni ajeeb.

LAILA

LUV
(chuckles)
Kyonki koi bhi ladki ek minute tak
ladke koh nai gurti. Koi bhi ladki
bina soche kisi naye nalaye ladke
keh liye raat der tak ghar seh
jhuth bolkar nai gumti.

Luv looks at Laila in a sincere manner.

LUV (CONT’D)
Koi ladki itni secure nai hoti ki

LUV
Well. Meh manta hu ki shaklien juth

LAILA

Me too. Par mujhe ek hi darr tha ki

LUV

Tumhe intellectual ladke pasand

LAILA

LUV
(asks for Laila’s hand)
Apna hath doh mujhe.

Laila gives Luv her hand. Luv locks his right hand’s fingers
with Laila’s left hand’s fingers. Luv just feels her hand’s
warmth.

LUV (CONT’D)
(mellow)
Tumhe nai lagta ki cheeze kafi
jaldi aagien badh rahi hai. Ya toh
yeh koi sapna hai ya toh tum mujhse

LUV
Meh kuch kehna chahta hu tumhe ?

LAILA
Hmmm bolo.

Both of them are lookin’ at each other’s hands.

LAILA (CONT’D)
Mene aaj tak ek ladki koh chor kar
itna pyar kisi aur ladki keh liye
mehsoos nai kiya.

Laila removes her head off Luv’s shoulder. Luv also retracts
his head. Both of them let go of each other’s hand. Luv
slowly looks at Laila. Laila looks at Luv. Both of them are
lookin’ at each other. Both of them have a mellowish look on
their mugs.

LUV
(vulnerable)
I want you.

Laila’s pupils dilate a little. Beat. Luv is patienly waitin’

for Laila’s reaction. Laila smiles a little.

LAILA
(whilst smilin’)
Tumhe nai lagta ki cheeze kafi
jaldi aagien badh rahi hai. Ya toh
yeh koi sapna hai ya toh tum mujhse
bhi zyada ajeeb ho.
(beat)
Either way I’m fine.

Luv smiles a little whilst starin’ at Laila’s lips.

LUV
(smilin’)
Well. Ajeeb wala option zyada accha
lag raha hai mujhe.

Laila smiles whilst lookin’ at Luv’s lips. Luv & Laila start
movin’ closer. Luv puts his one hand around Laila’s jaw.
Laila puts his one hand around Luv’s neck. Both of them are
proceedin’ to kiss each other. But before their lips could
meet, Luv’s phone start to ring.

RINGTONE : “BOOM BOOM BOOM! SHOOT YOU RIGHT DOWN” BY ANIMALS

Luv looks little pissed all of a sudden. Luv looks at Laila.

Laila puts her one hand over her mouth, tryin’ to control her
laughter. Luv shakes his head a little whilst sportin’ a
smile on his face.

LUV (CONT’D)
(whilst lookin’ at Laila)
Sirf ek minute.

Laila can’t help but grin like an idiot. Laila nods a little.
Luv stretches his one leg a bit, he gets his smartphone out &
puts it near his right ear.

LUV (CONT’D)
Haa Pranshu, bol bhai ?

PRANHSU
(via the phone)
I hope ki disturb nai kar rah hu
meh tujhe.

Luv shakes his head whilst bitin’ his lower lip. Luv has a
lite grin on his lips.

LUV
(looks at Laila for a
second)
Nai bilkul disturb nai kar raha tu
mujhe. Bol kya kaam aa pada tujhe
aadhi rat koh ?

Laila starts grinnin’.

PRANHSU
(via the phone)
Woh aatien waqt pizza pack karwa
diyo.

LUV
(slow manner)
Haa ek pitsa. Aur kuch ?

Laila chuckles. Luv just scratches his one eyebrow a little.

PRANHSU
(via the phone)
Nai bass, ek pizza. Aur monster
mile sath meh toh dal dena bag meh.

LUV
Order dene keh liye shukriya, sir.
Kuch minute meh bijwa duga aapke
ghar par keh dinin’ table par. Bye.

Luv cuts the phone. Luv puts his phone back in his pocket.

LUV (CONT’D)

Laila starts to laugh like hell. Luv looks at Laila & smiles.

LUV (CONT’D)
Funny rite ?

LAILA
(tryin’ to tone down her
laughin’ spree)
Pitsa ? Seriously ?

Luv shakes his head.

LUV
Bhukkad hai voh kamina.

Laila chuckles a little. Luv then smiles at Laila. Laila

again rests her head over Luv’s shoulder whilst smilin’. Luv
keeps grinnin’. The frame becomes frozen stiff, the fram
turns black n white, two pretty love birds smilin’.
