Exactly!

What have you done to yourself?

In fact, what have you done to yourself?

You told your dad you're selling computer spare parts in Paris.

But there's something else going on here!

You think I'm afraid of him?

Tell him I'm not selling spare parts but bare parts!

You haven't changed a bit.

Will you have something? Tea, coffee...

Nothing at all! I just want the information.

Straight to the point! How nice!

You were in London for two years...

But not once did you visit me here in Paris.

And you made a dash for the girl!

What did you say her name was? Lalitha... right, Lalitha.

I looked her up.

She's here from New York on an Exchange Program.

A friend of mine takes classes with her at Sorbonne University.

What news do you have?

Monty detective got these pictures out for you.

It's her, right?

You had said she is a simple girl...

that she ties her hair in a plait. But she's a hottie.

Dude, she has changed.

Well, it happens.

Middle class girls come to France and get carried away.

They sense the freedom and sprout wings!

It's just a phase.

What's wrong, dude?

Did she break your heart?

No, actually... I think I broke her heart.

What happened? What's the story, dude?

We met two years back in London.

We spent an entire day together.

What a day! I mean.

And I promised her that... I would visit her in New York in six months.

But I didn't go.

I've been missing her a lot these last few days.

I got news from New York that she is in Paris.

So I called you.

Dude, you've come to the right place.

This is the city of love!

Ask your friend where can I find her now.

You think if you ban covering girls from head to toe,

the men are going to say...

it's okay darling, you can go out in your mini skirt.

No! They are just going to be locked up in their own house.

Feminism is about allowing women what they want to do..

..without being judgmental about it.

Because the purpose of feminism is Freedom!

Lalitha!

You look smoking hot!

I knew it was you from afar because...

only Lalithapedia is capable of this feminism blah blah.

Hello!

Lalitha listen. Have you drunk a little too much?

Get lost!

Lalitha, what's the matter?

You were thinking about me a few minutes back.

Trying to impress the Frenchie with my lines.

You're not just a liar, but delusional too!

Lalitha, I'm sorry, I didn't come to New York.

It's not my fault, I promise.

Lalitha...

Sh*t.

Lalitha...

Are you blind?

What?

Sorry... sorry...

Lalitha what are you doing?

Why are you living so dangerously?

What are you doing in Paris?

Looking for you, I swear.

I had the entire CBI squad looking for you.

I learnt that you left New York to come to Paris for some Exchange Program.

Lalitha, what's wrong?

Lalitha, I'm so glad I found you.

Lalitha, are you... are you okay?

Lalitha, listen, I know you must hate me and all but...

I was a complete wreck.

My life was going through sh*t and it still is...

I'll explain.

I feel... sick...

Lalitha, just let me explain...

I feel sick... like...

Nikhil!

Ah... mademoiselle is up.

Good morning.

There is hot le 'French' breakfast for you...

Nikhil, where are my clothes?

Last night you puked all over your clothes...

so I've sent them for dry-cleaning.

It's an express service. You'll have them ready by evening.

Come, have breakfast till then.

Lalitha, I know, I owe you an explanation.

I couldn't make it to New York because I...

Nikhil let's not talk about it please.

No! Let's talk about it.

I think we should.

I want to tell you why I couldn't make it to New York.

Nikhil, just leave it...

It's okay, Please.

I even wrote three letters to you but...

You didn't reply to any.

I received one, which said that you aren't coming to New York.

The one that said my dad had a heart attack?

Oh yeah, is he okay?

Wow! Thanks for the sympathy.

No, I really mean that. I hope he is okay.

Yeah, he is okay now.

The dude faked a heart attack so I'd go back to Mumbai.

That's the reason I couldn't make it to New York...

I hope you understand.

I am sorry.

It's fine.

Are we cool now...

just like, no... whatever.

Yeah.

Thanks. So good to see you.

I can't believe this.

I really like your...

this new look. It's really good.

Thanks.

You thought I was bluffing about dad's heart attack?

Just so I could ditch you?

That would be like the world's worst break up line.

I've heard worse!

A friend's boyfriend told her he was breaking up with her because...

he would die soon.

When my friend asked why, he said...

'geniuses die young.'

What rubbish.

Men are sh*t.

Okay.

As if girls never break up.

They do. But they give a full explanation.

What went wrong, why did it go wrong, whose fault was it and so on...

If you want to break my heart...

please do it with a joke don't give me a complete thesis...

I'll keep it in mind.

Feminine or feminist?

The pink one.

Lalithapedia! You've improved!

"Coming through..."

This thing is speaking in French.

It's saying 'enter your code'.

Okay.

2000 Euros.

Your parents give you their credit cards just like that?

They throw money to make up for love they can't give.

Reduces their guilt.

For not being able to love me as much as their first son...

so this is compensation.

My childhood was quite messed up, you know?

So was mine!

And I am sure so was your parents and their parents.

Point?

Move on!

You mean like you?

Miss Drunk in a bar and hungover in a hotel room.

Well, at least I don't blame my parents for every little thing.

I take responsibility for who I am and what I do.

You grew that to keep you warm in the London cold?

Goatee? It gives you a personality.

Gives me the 'director' look.

Why not just grow a beard?

A beard is so uncool.

I think it's romantic...

That someone is so caught up in his dreams that...

he doesn't have the time to shave.

Wow! Lalithapedia is back in action.

You have a PhD on 'male facial hair'?

Of course.

See, bearded guys are like poets...

Arty, intellectual, romantic!

Stubble means 'sexy, macho, cowboy' type.

A moustache is for thieves and rogues.

And goatee means...

metrosexual.

Really?

Goatee means metro-what?

Those guys who check themselves out in the mirror every few minutes...

who buy moisturizing creams and get pedicures.

I don't go for pedicures.

It's the next step. You already have a goatee.

I think it's sexy.

You should grow one too!

- Hey Gaspard! - Hey Lalitha.

You're look really hot today.

Oh stop it.

You're coming to the party tonight, I hope...

Of course.

See you in the evening.

See you.

Hey Lalitha! How are you doing?

Have you read this book? It has changed the world.

- I will. I promise. - Super. Thank you.

It's important. Don't forget to read the book.

I won't. I promise.

See you then.

Come...

Oh nice.

Nice room.

Your cheeks must be burning.

You must be quite popular with the white guys...

Exotic Indian girl, from the land of Kamasutra and all.

I find it all quite stupid that...
