-Hello. -Hi.
Sandhya.
Mariam.
Nice mehndi.
Was the wedding in Ratlam?
In Mandsaur.
We came to Ratlam to catch the train.
Sorry,
I don't know you.
Are you a big star?
No, no.
Actually, I'm trying.
Not to be a star, but to be independent.
Your poetry is the real star.
I wish I had recorded it.
Actually, it'll be up on the internet soon.
"Myna", my channel's name.
This is my first trip alone.
With two people I barely know.
Same story.
This is my first trip after marriage.
With 50 people I barely know.
I mean I know Shishir well.
But new relatives, a new world.
I was feeling quite nervous.
Then I heard your poem.
I felt better.
Now I have to climb on the cycle of fear
and overcome it.
Which I shall.
Can I take a selfie?
With me?
Yeah, sure.
-Thank you. -Welcome.
Can I say something?
This is the first time someone has taken a selfie with me, so…
thank you.
Just wait and watch.
When you get famous, everyone will want a selfie with you.
That's when I'll show this selfie to everyone.
And say, "Myna is my friend."
Thank you. That's so sweet.
This is for you.
Thank you.
Passengers please pay attention, train no. 10002…
Mimi.
That's them.
-Hello. -Hello.
-Hi. -Hi. Hi.
-Gurmeet. -Gurmeet.
-Kaur. -Singh.
I know it's a little confusing.
So Doctor says to call him Singh and call me Kaur.
-Absolutely. -Singh-Kaur.
And you?
-Psy. -Hi.
-Mariam. -Hi, Mariam.
-Robo. -Hi.
Give me a twenty on the taxi, please?
Luggage, you too. Yes.
-Welcome. -Welcome.
Thank you.
Welcome.
You too.
-Shall we? -Let's go.
This way.
-There's no end to delusions or desires -Hey!
Why are they blabbering about a "doctor"?
Are they on some kind of medication?
They're going to sell your kidney.
Quiet.
Doctor heads BMS.
Doctor is our guru.
Doctor is our friend.
Doctor is our mentor.
Doctor is our idol.
Doctor is a visionary,
who dreamed of making a small city like Jabalpur,
a part of the larger world.
She knows the pulse of the internet.
She has a solution for every problem on the internet.
That's why she's called the Doctor.
She could have been an influencer herself…
but no, she completely dedicated herself
to helping others become influencers.
You guys rest now.
You'll meet Doctor in the morning.
We're trying.
I didn't understand a word she said.
Is there going to be some kind of surgery?
Shall we get you a vasectomy?
To become an influencer you need a unique idea.
Or a talent that's unique.
And we've really liked the talent and ideas of these people.
That's why they're here.
Back in the day, people wanted to be engineers or doctors.
But the new generation wants to become influencers.
You see those people?
Right by the golden statue?
Everyone's stuck in a loop
Have you met him?
They are one of our strongest influencers.
-Big contender for the selection. -Absolutely.
And his specialty is that he gobbles…
not just food,
but likes and followers as well.
Everyone's stuck in a loop
The elders have said
-About this foundation… -This is just an illusion
Even got a tattoo made
Dude, it's just an illusion
-Hi. -Hello.
-How am I looking? -Amazing.
Oh, please.
Uncle, step aside.
Stressing about summer, winter, and rains
Tension
Meanwhile, the frog is busy trying To be fashionable in its well
Session
Been God-gifted since childhood
What's your channel?
Myna. Poetry.
And how many followers?
Not many.
What's your TG?
Target Group?
Anyone who listens?
Words with no meanings Everyone's a drama queen
Told the truth and got caught up in a lie
Feel like an unwanted guest Feel confused if I need tea or I want milk
Well, we received around three hundred entries.
But the one that influenced us the most was a poem which is…
"O Moon, don't be my uncle."
"Be my aunt instead."
"Chanda Maasi."
Meet Mariam from channel Myna.
We loved her poems.
If our computers, numbers, and algorithms like her too…
then she's onto something.
Mariam, recite a poem?
"I am not right…"
So sorry, I just need some time.
Sorry.
Everyone… is stuck in a loop
-Hello. -Hi.
Hi.
Mom is about to leave for church.
I have to ask…
Do you really want to marry me?
I mean if Mom makes a decision and something happens after that…
She'll be heartbroken.
Hello?
What happened?
Roysten wants to know if I want to get married.
How do I lie and say yes to him?
If you say no, you'll ruin the entire plan.
Look, everything is going well.
People already like us. We'll win the BMS sponsorship.
-Say yes. -How can I say yes?
Has anyone told you that his mother's decision is yes?
No, right?
Maybe she'll say no.
It's only a matter of 18 hours.
Everything will be clear.
Pick up. Say yes.
So, what's your answer?
Yes.
It's just an illusion
You did the right thing, Mimi.
Now the evening program should be your only focus.
But, Mom, I'm getting anxious.
I keep checking my phone all the time.
If Roysten's mom says yes, then Papa will call back.
I don't know what to do.
Let's say a few prayers
and then we will all switch off our phones.
We don't want to know what's happening in Kerala.
Concentrate only on today's program.
Once the program is done, we'll see.
Okay?
Let's pray.
God. Please don't let Mrs. Abraham come
between me and my dream of studying at MIT.
-I love you. -All the best.
Bye.
Are you anxious?
A little.
I have spoken to Father and arrived at a decision.
Mariam…
can become a part of the Abraham family.
Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Great!
Thank you so much.
You know, my daughter will exceed all your expectations.
She's a very good cook.
If you don't mind, I just need to call her once.
She'll be very happy.
I have informed Roy.
He'll come back immediately.
Okay.
And we must conduct the wedding at the earliest.
No problem at all.
We will do it.
We will do it very soon.
We are ready for that.
Just one small request.
If we can do the wedding in Ratlam.
You see, at such short notice,
it will be simpler for me there.
I have all my contacts there.
And Mariam has all her friends there.
And you will be absolutely comfortable. All of you.
Please don't worry.
You didn't even have to ask.
Start the preparations.
Yes. Thank you. Thank you so much.
If you don't mind, I'll leave now.
I'll have to quickly go back and do the bookings.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Okay. Everything should be conducted properly.
-Please don't worry at all. -Okay.
It will be all to your satisfaction.
-Please don't worry. -Yes. Yes.
Yes?
-So, you will excuse me now. -Okay.
Thank you. Thank you.
What time is the flight to Indore?
Check.
She isn't picking up.
There will be a lot of traffic on the way.
It leaves in three hours.
Doesn't matter. Book it.
Via-via. No direct flights.
What time will I reach?
Tomorrow afternoon.
Fine.
God. What an adventure!
Seriously, this is madness.
We still have the evening show to do.
We'll be amazing. Wait and watch.
Am I included in this "we"?
It's a band of three unique cartoons.
Strange, but nice.
Mariam.
Robo.
Psy.
Let's get ready?
One second.
One second!
-What is it-- -I can't do it! Sorry.
I can't!
-I can't stand his attitude anymore. -What happened?
Look.
Oh!
If I go on the stage, I'll go wearing this.
Or I won't go.
A lot of thought has gone into choosing our costumes.
You bring the folk element. That's why something Indian, ethnic.
Not this.
I know you want to shine like a firefly and make me look like a fool.
That's why I brought my own clothes.
-Look-- -If you wear this, I won't go on stage.
-Sorry, Mariam… -Doesn't matter, I'll handle it alone.
Wait a second. Can I speak?
Load shedding.
Robo-ji, do you trust me?
More than myself.
So what Psy has picked is nice.
Wear it.
You'll look really nice. I promise.
Fine. If you say so.
What are you going to wear? This?
No.
It's a dress. A gift.
From him?
Robo-ji, we'll all look nice. Trust me.
Let's go.
Let me wear it for a while.
-Of course. -It's worth 17,000.
Fine.
Thank you.
When I was just five The moon was five too
Cute and shiny

Genda Lal.
Genda Lal! Principal David speaking.
Go home and find out
why no one is answering my calls.
Go home and find out why no one is answering my calls.
Yes, and call me back.
Come on!
Guys.
So you guys are next and we have five minutes for the setup.
Do you guys need anything?
-No. -So break a leg.
I'll break your leg.
Robo Bhaiya, it's a saying. He's wishing us good luck.
What a horrible saying!
-Give me your phone. -Why?
The program will go live from your handle.
How else will we check the analytics?
My phone's switched off.
Okay, use my phone to log on to Myna.
But only Cynthia knows the password.
-Okay, let's call Cynthia. -But her phone's switched off too.
Actually, everyone's phones are switched off.
Come on, guys, if we don't log in from your account and pair it with the channel,
you'll be disqualified straight up.
You know that, right?
-Do you have Wi-Fi? -Yes.
Okay, keep your phone on airplane mode and log in to Myna.
-Okay. -Phone.
Mimi.
Connect it, okay?
I'll take care of it. You guys go.
Okay. See you guys.
She has wings, but she bites.
Her dreams are vivid.
Her poetry is fire.
Her words breathe life into a small-town girl.
Her style is unique.
Boys and girls… please welcome Myna.
Start.
One, two,
three, start.
If you read from a diary, will anyone listen?
We, the audience, will give Myna a word
and she'll make up a poem on the spot.
How is that?
Yeah!
I'll give her the first word.
Eyes.
"Without eyes…
how would we wake up?
Without eyes…
how would we sleep?
Without eyes…
we would have no dreams.
Without dreams…
there would be no us."
Kachori.
"Milk and jalebi.
Tea and kachori.
Here comes the rains, instant love story."
Sex.
"Sex…
is what gave life to me.
Sex…
is what gave life to you.
Wonder why you make such a simple thing complicated."
Papa.
Come on.
Hey… quiet.
Pa… pap… papa.
Quiet. Quiet!
Is your train stuck?
Who threw that?!
Tell her to leave.
Check what's going on at the back.
Are you okay?
Mimi, look at me.
Mimi. What happened?
What happened? Why are you silent?
Come on. Come on. Look at me.
Hey…
Robo Bhaiya!
This mess has cost us more than five lakhs.
They broke all the chairs, the big gate we installed,
even the fountains at the venue.
Even we broke a few bones, right?
What happened to you? Doctor is very upset.
I'm really sorry.
I can't pay for your losses.
Of course, you can't.
And your apology is no good to me.
Just thank your stars, I'm not calling the police.
No, what's done is done, Cynthu. It's no one's fault.
Appan sent Genda Lal-ji home.
I made him switch off his phone.
Then I called Uncle Seb and he told me Mrs. Abraham…
I know.
The wedding is next week.
Appan must be on the flight.
He'll reach Indore by 12:00 p.m.,
and Ratlam by 3:00 p.m.
You must make it back before him.
There is a flight that arrives before him.
But it's very expensive.
And Mumma doesn't have the money.
30 thousand.
Cynthu.
Go to my room.
There is a cooler next to the door.
Open the lid.
But that's your money… Sarthak Bhaiya.
We'll see. Take it, Cynthu.
We're coming.
-The bird says -Okay.
I am a devotee of the Lord
Lord shows me the way
Haklati Haseena, right?
Thank you.
Just like the giant wheel in the Navratri fair.
It went up and came down.
Mimi, your father's flight has arrived.
Hi!
Haklati Haseena!
What is this, Jiggy?
Sorry.
Roysten called. Everyone called.
Don't you check your phone?
We've been trying everyone's phones.
How can everyone's phones be switched off?
Nonsense.
We must get a cab before him.
-Shit, yes. -But he'll see us.
So what do we do?
-Sit. Sit. -How can I?
Sit. Sit.
I'm taking a taxi.
-Cover her. -I'll talk to you when I get there.
Great, let's go.
What madness is this? What stupidity is this?
-Move. -We'll slip under his nose.
-Wait and watch. -Come.
Quiet.
He went that way, we'll go this way.
Mimi!
What? What--
Why are we behaving like criminals?
No!
Look at Appan. He looks so worried.
What if something happens to him?
-No, but-- -No!
Their phones have been unreachable since morning.
-Can you please check at home? -Papa.
Mimi, wait!
Oh, they are here.
Veena-ji, they're right here. Sorry, sorry. No problem.
Where were all of you?
I've been calling since morning.
The network in Ratlam has been down.
Cynthu, don't give me some absurd reasons.
No, no. I called Sebi from Shukla-ji's landline.
He told us so we came here to receive you.
You don't understand all this. Come.
-No, no, it's okay. -Father, I have to go to the washroom.
You guys get a cab, I'll be…
Go with her.
Where are you? Yes.
-What happened? -Here.
Will you tell me something or not?
-I'm daddy's little angel. -Having a party?
-I am daddy's little angel. -Having a party?
Who threw this shoe?
You know, the world of the internet is really unpredictable.
You never know what people may take a liking to,
and you never know how it can change your destiny.
Mariam, last night the world of the internet
made that scared, devastated, stuttering girl a star.
Yeah.
One million views in a single night!
Can you imagine?
Everyone's famous.
You, Sanki Chacha and Cute Chintu.
#HakalatiHaseena.
Now you have this opportunity to earn as much as you want.
There's a sponsorship offer from an English tutoring brand.
You'll get a lakh just like that!
So accept this deal. Pay for my losses and build your future.
What do I have to do?
Shoot a video as Haklati Haseena.
Doctor has already sent me the script.
We'll get a lakh before the wedding. And then freedom.
For you, me, and everyone.
We're doing this. We're doing this, Doctor.
The sky is the limit. All the best.
One lakh!
Lakh!
It's a miracle.
The entry can be from here. Or there. Both work.
Father is here.
Father, Father.
How are you, Father?
It's a miracle, Father.
Everyone said it couldn't be done.
They were discouraging me.
But I remembered one thing from your sermon,
"Where there is a will there is a way."
And just look, Father.
In five days, my daughter is getting married.
Right here in Ratlam. I'm very happy.
Amen.
What have you planned next?
Next?
So we've booked the church space.
And a resort for Roysten's family
-called… -"Vivah Resort."
Vivah Resort.
We've booked that.
And his sister is arriving tomorrow along with her son.
To see the wedding arrangements and everything.
Then when will we shoot?
Focus on stammering. We'll do the rest.
We?
Their relatives will come.
So everything should be well managed.
Thank you so much.
Father, everything has been organized. But…
Excuse me, Father.
Father, there is one request.
We have funds, but if we could get something from the community funds,
it will be a great help.
-I'll see what I can do. -Thank you.
-Have faith in the Lord. -Yes.
Bless you, my child.
Thank you, Father.
Happy?
Aren't you happy?
Dear…
tell me honestly.
Did you do something wrong to make this wedding possible?
For my daughter's sake, I did everything I had to.
Shouldn't you have asked her?
She spoke with Roysten.
She said yes.
But did you ask her?
You should, right?
Dear, Mariam is mature. She won't do anything stupid.
But you know how girls are these days.
They might want to say something but on the inside they…
What will Mariam do?
She can do anything.
Will she run away from home?
What have you guys been cooking?
What have you guys been cooking behind my back?
When I was in Kerala…
your phones were switched off.
Vatsala.
Don't embarrass me.
Understood?
Dear, our daughter…
No, she won't do anything like that.
But…
But what?
She has to spend the rest of her life with Roysten.
And if Roysten loves Priya…
Roysten likes Priya?
She likes something else. You like something else!
Did anyone ask what I like?
So will you do something wrong to get what you like?
What? How dare you say this?
All my life, I did what was right.
What did I get?
I got this!
Ratlam.
I studied hard. Thought of getting into the most noble profession.
I'll become a professor. I became a professor.
I educated my children with honesty.
Back in the village, my waste brother
wasted his life in the toddy shop.
He got the vanilla plantation,
and he became rich overnight.
What do we have?
Is that fair?
And my daughter…
who is more talented and beautiful.
Does she find a decent boy to marry?
She doesn't.
Because NRI kids these days…
want a traditional wife.
All my life,
I worked hard to make my family progressive.
But it seems I missed something.
I didn't know that orthodox is better than progressive these days.
Vatsala…
whatever I'm doing,
right or wrong,
I'm doing it for my daughter's sake.
So don't let me down.
Mariam!
They're coming…
to marry you.
I request you to not mess this up.
If you do anything,
your father will die!
Listen!
Please!
He will die!
Dear!
Sugar! Chocolate!
Open your mouth.
Jiggy.
-Jiggy! -Coming, sir.
Hail to Jesus!
The place where everyone's staying…
at the resort and at our home.
There will be security.
No one will come in or go out without my permission.
Okay, sir. We'll get MLA sir's security.
Right.
Get some rest.
-Just rest. -Enough!
-Jiggy! -Sir?
Don't ask the fish
-Don't ask the fish to grow wings and fly -Chocolate?
-Life-saving drug. -Mister
She'll fall on the surface and squirm
