After going through a medical check-up for an upset stomach, he is told that he has third stage cancer and has only a few months to live. He then sets about to prepare a 10-item 'to do' list which include buying a car; visiting his friend, Dr. Rajiv Jhukla, in Russia; taking guitar lessons; confessing his true feelings to Neha Banot; as well a plan for getting back at Dasgupta.

He had taken my lunch.

It's better you die.

I mean look at me.

My liver has shrunk due to drinking.

Still I come here everyday.

Ask him.

Look at me.

I have a wife at home.

Still I have two girlfriends.

One in Kandivli.

And the other in Antop Hill.

Saw my guts?

I took a loan of 3.5

lakhs from the bank.

I have not repaid a penny.

Saw my guts?

I forged my father's signature...

...and seized a

plot worth 30.5 lakhs.

Saw my guts?

You look like

Munnabhai film's Jimmy Shergil.

Woebegone!

Not a coward. But a dying man.

What do you want? What should I do?

I want that you learn

to live before you die.

Like this.

Sir, I want a long vacation.

Because I am going to die.

How irresponsible of you, Mr. Kaul!

At the time of year ending,

life ending!

Who will do the work?

Who will do it? Who will do it?

I said Samosa (Fried snack).

And not Laddoo (Sweet). Mama!

You won't reform even after dying.

You are making a list?

Make it! Make it!

Make your things to-do list.

What have you done in your

boring life besides this?

Drink more!

Boring man! This is not

the effect of liquor!

It's the effect of

your boring life!

But who are you?

Don't you recognize your face?

I am you.

I admit that grammar is not proper.

But I can't give you a

better introduction.

You see... I am you.

Relax! Relax! Relax!

Mr. Amar Kaul! This

had to happen someday.

The man who lives

with his own self...

...finally talks to

his own self too.

I won't live for

long to talk to myself.

I heard you are going to die.

Did you tell mama?

She won't be able to hear it.

Yes, which mother would be

able to hear her son's...

She really won't be

able to hear it.

Her hearing aid is

not working properly.

Even if she heard, she

won't be able to understand.

If she understood, she

won't be able to tolerate it.

Fine! Fine! Did you tell Vivek?

What's the use of telling him?

He never supported me in life.

What will he support me in death?

Fine.

Tell me. What's your plan?

Will you someday

just place your head...

...on your own lap and die?

No. I will fight.

You will fight? I see. With whom?

The doctor?

- No. Death.

All your life, you

couldn't fight with life.

And you will fight with death!

Look, you died a long time ago.

Got it? And this... its just

the printout of your death.

What do you mean?

I mean... what list

were you making just now?

Buying bottle gourd. Not zucchini.

Giving the account to boss.

Buying hearing aid battery for

mummy. Repairing the geyser.

Sitting on the donkey.

Blah! Blah! Blah!

A person will die of

boredom by reading your list.

So what should I do?

Tear my clothes and

roam around naked?

And shout... I am dying! I am dying!

Sister, I am dying. Brother,

I am dying!

I knew... nobody will understand.

But you are...

I am 37 years old.

I remained an accounts

manager all my life.

I didn't marry.

Don't you know what all

things I endured in my life?

You are not born with a

destiny like Shah Rukh Khan.

Fine. Whatever little God

has given you... enjoy it.

What are you trying to say?

What do you mean?

I mean to say, according to me,

your biggest ambition in life is...

...repairing geyser urgently.

Look, I too have many ambitions.

There are many things in life

which I want to do. - Like what?

Like... I want to buy a new car.

I want to take a foreign trip.

And...

- That's it!

Now you have understood!

Make its list.

'Things to do...

...before I die.'

New car.

Wow!

Foreign trip.

That's better!

And love... Iove...

Airbag, sir. Front and back.

Cup holder. Cigarette lighter.

Integrated rests on rear seats.

And yes, power

steering and power window.

For your safety.

My safety?

- Yes.

Sir, if you want, I will

take you on a test drive.

No!

What's the price of this car?

Sir, you can take the car by

giving a down payment of one lakh.

And the rest in installments. EMls.

How many EMls?

Sir, for 48 months

meaning four years, 18,907.

Four years is too long.

Any shorter term?

Yes, sir. Two years

which is approximately...

Yes! 35,215.

- Shorter than that?

One year.

Don't you have any

plan for three months?

Sir, we don't have any

scheme for three months.

You see, I want to repay

it all within three months.

Okay. I will just check.

It will be around

3,15,000 for one month, sir.

And it's not a very

advisable thing to do.

3,15,000!

I think I will have to

use my provident fund.

I will meet you later.

- Okay, sir.

Thank you very much.

- Thank you so much, sir.

Pleasure, sir. Thank you.

Thank you, man!

Fantastic, Savio sir! Excellent!

I want to learn Kal Ho

Na Ho's title track.

Kal Ho Na Ho!

Every moment...

That one! Oh! That Hindi film!

Very nice! Sir, will I learn this?

It's my big wish.

No worries, man.

I will make you a rock star.

In seven months.

Savio will make you a

rock star in seven months.

Sorry, Savio sir. But can't

you do it in three months?

Fool! What do you think?

I am sitting here and running

a crash course or something?

You thought you will come,

put the guitar in your pelvis...

...and become Elvis!

Playing the guitar is an art.

No matter how much

time you take, it's less.

Sorry, Savio sir.

There are ways to go there.

Why don't you understand?

Since the time I

have become sensible...

...I have been going to dance bars.

I've got work!

I've got work, Mr. Amar!

Please! Concentrate!

Give your time!

Otherwise, I will be in trouble.

Please! Concentrate on your life!

Listen!

- Yes, sir!

Did you get the files?

Yes, sir. Namdev just kept it here.

Fine. It should be

finished by tomorrow.

Tomorrow? But sir... Hello.

You too! He says and

you listen to him.

He orders you around

and you do his bidding.

He exploits you and you get scared.

People suppress the

weak ones. Got it?

Like button, bell etc.

This is Amar Kaul's problem.

People bully him and

he allows them to.

What?

Nothing.

What?

- Nothing.

Hang on!

What?

- Nothing.

What?

Nothing.

You fool! You are a coward!

Do something!

Got it? Otherwise...

Namdev!

I gave the car loan file

to boss. What's its status?

You ask him.

Okay. I will ask him.

Sir...

Car loan...

- It can't be done.

Why, sir?

- What do you mean?

Have you seen the state of our city?

There is so much traffic.

It takes me one and

half hour at least...

...to come here from Shivaji Park.

And so much pollution!

I don't want to add

to the city problems.

Mr. Kaul, before asking for a loan,

think how much money...

...the company has

earned because of you.

First earn and then ask for a loan.

Be an asset to the

company and not a liability.

What?

Nothing.

Nothing. Then go out.

And throw this in the dustbin.

Make the report and bring it.

I have to send the report to

the headquarters by evening.

Sir, would you

please take a look at it?

I want you to give it a look.

Let's have a look.

Take it outside.

Sir, here.

Good morning, sir!

Good morning!

- Good morning, sir!

Sir, I sit here.
