Synopsis: Bangkok-based Tara Mishra and Nikhil Singh meet at a wedding ceremony and fall instantly in love with love with each. They move in together and continue to live a fairly blissful lifestyle until Tara is invited to India to attend a wedding. Nikhil not only refuses to accompany her but also refuses to introduce his widowed mother, Meera, who is now living with another male, Dilip, to her. Tara, a talented singer/dancer, feels neglected as he is always focused on his business, is not prepared to make any long-time commitment, and forgets important events. An encounter with a taxi-driver compels Nikhil to change his mind, but things do no work out, Tara leaves him and shortly thereafter passes away in an accident. A devastated and guilt-ridding Nikhil returns home, cradling her photo and falls asleep. He wakes up the next morning with Tara alive and well next to him. Was he hallucinating the events from the previous day or was he being warned by fate to change his ways?

...in the morning or not!

What's special this evening.

Nikhil!

- What?

I float on the breeze!

I say to the drops of rain.

These moments... these

are the golden moments!

I don't understand,

how can you forget it?

For the last 6 months, everyday...

...I have been going for rehearsals.

Romeo and Juliet! Remember!

Wasn't it tomorrow?

Are you sure no one

changed the dates? - No!

No one has changed the dates.

It has always been on the 21 st!

And today is the 21 st!

And I had reminded you too, Nikhil!

Anyways, it's just a play right.

No big deal.

Come on!

I am sorry, all right.

Come on, now don't look so sad!

I remembered! It was

just at the back of my head.

That's the problem Nikhil.

It is always at the

back of your head.

Hey! I am sorry, okay!

I swear I will reach

the green room on time.

Okay!

- We will see.

Now, don't make me pay such

a hefty price for my mistake.

You are just amazing.

You know I didn't mean it

like that! I was joking.

Yeah, whatever!

I was just joking.

- Yeah, whatever Nikhil.

Nikhil!

It's just three

metals of three colours.

It's nothing compared to your smile.

Please, whatever! Let it be!

- Come on!

Face to face!

Face to face!

Face to face!

Face to face!

God!

Today is an important day, okay!

So, smile.

Alright!

All the best for your meeting,

yeah! - Yeah!

Thank You.

Hey guys!

- We are up.

15 minutes.

Do you want any backup

copies of the brochure?

I want a couple. Ok.

Sharma!

- Yes.

My phone stopped working.

Just see, there will be

spare phone lying there.

And you were going to give

me the colour variation!

Nikhil, I can get some printouts...

...only when Mr. Sharma

would stop sending mails.

Why don't you just zip it, man?

Robin, just shut up.

He is talking...

about your pant, idiot.

That's what I

always tell all of you.

Even on the day of

the presentation...

...instead of the pitch, you

concentrate more on the stitch.

Coffee, sir.

- Thank you.

Alright, alright,

alright! Enough! Enough!

Try to find out from Anthony,

whether...

...he can bring the

clients for dinner.

We are meeting after Tara's show.

You remembered!

- What?

Never mind! Never mind!

Nikhil!

- What?

Will Nadia be there? - I hope

for your sake, she will be there.

And, did you buy a present for Tara.

No!

We will buy it after

the presentation! Okay!

Sharma, get this

phone fixed. Please.

Hi mother!

- Where are you?

Listen, tell uncle Billu that

I will bring clothes for him!

There is no need for that.

- Why mama?

Are you coming tomorrow?

Yes, my flight

is confirmed tomorrow.

And Nikhil, isn't he coming?

- No, mother.

Nikhil was going to come,

but I asked him not to. - Why?

Mother, he is very busy at work...

and his clientele...

...and he can come to

India whenever he wants.

Hello! Hello, mother!

Yes.

He will come, mama.

- Fine.

How are you?

- I am fine.

And your dance classes?

- They are fine.

Say hi to Nadia!

- Okay, fine.

Okay dear.

- Okay, bye!

Take care.

- Thank you.

Let me know. - Yeah, I will call you

after the show.

Okay!

- Okay, love you.

Love you dear.

- Bye.

What the hell?

Nikhil, he is going to kill me.

Damn!

Nikhil, Nadia is coming

in the evening, isn't she?

You are thinking about Nadia!

Let us do the

presentation first, come on.

Concentrate!

Taxi!

- Hey.

Hi! Hop on!

Nadia! Nikhil's office.

- Okay babes.

Quickly!

He has forgotten his papers,

he has got a presentation.

Hi. There is a telecom

conference with Nikhil's name.

To the left!

- Thanks.

Excuse me please.

We at KaliBlue believe, that all

quantitative research is clear.

In the case of Utah telecom...

...all research models

point in the same direction.

Which is, it is a very

cut-throat business.

And we will not get a second chance.

A second chance to

convince the consumer.

A second chance to

hit the competition...

...where it really hurts.

In other words, simply a

second chance to be number. One.

For which, not only our consumers...

...but also the

market won't forgive us...

...if we don't hail

this opportunity...

Hi!

I am so sorry, I thought you...

- What are you doing here?

I thought you had

forgotten your... I am sorry.

You know, he forgets so...

Sorry, it's my fault.

It's just that, I thought he

has forgotten his papers...

...because he usually

forgets his things.

I should be going.

Excuse me!

- Sorry!

Is this the only day you could find?

Really, I am sorry.

But... you know, he has

been working all night on it.

So I think, he is... really good.

I should go now.

Stay... stay connected.

Sorry about that... that was...

thank you, Tara.

As I was saying... can we go

back to the last slide, please?

As I was saying, the

quantitative research...

...is all indicative of...

So, where do you stay?

- First bar, around the corner.

Oh really? Well!

- Yes.

Okay, bye!

Hey babes, what happened?

Was he happy to see you?

I am such an idiot.

I should have thought, what

will he do with the old papers?

And... I am so clumsy.

Your intentions were good,

right. So just chill.

No, it was very

embarrassing for him!

Why? Why will it be

embarrassing for him?

Every boyfriend would want that...

...his girlfriend comes to

meet him mid-presentation!

Oh, really!

And you are the

biggest expert on boyfriends.

Because you change them every week.

If you say too much, then I

will stop giving you a lift...

...till the dance class.

Please, give some respect.

Because of these dance tuitions...

...I can pay for my holidays!

Madam, you spend half your

money on your boyfriend.

So, he deserves it.

According to me, he

doesn't deserve you at all.

Shut up, Nadia!

Come on, let's go quickly!

- Come on.

Hey.

Okay, I am going inside.

Fine, you go I am coming.

Alright now, 1... 2... 3... 4

everybody on the dance floor.

1... 2... on the dew.

Orange rays, I miss you.

Puffy nose, bubble rose.

Move again, on your toes.

Round and round, kiss the ground.

Little hearts, hear you shout.

1... 2... on the dew.

Orange rays, I miss you.

Without you, how can this girl go?

This moment doesn't stand still.

Without you, how can this girl go?

This moment doesn't stand still.

Say hi, say hi!

Say jump and touch the sky.

One more time we jump.

Come on, let's see us fly.

Hey Robin, move.

- Robin!

Robin!

- You can't do it.

Give it to me! Give it to me!

Get free! Get free!

Get free. Come on, Jay.

Oh God!

Get free! Get free!

I don't think this

client will stay with us.

And if we lose this client...

...then we will be back on

the streets again! - Nikhil!

It will take us

2-3 years to recover.

We are going to

lose everything, man.

Go get it, Nik!

Hook line and sinker.

I don't know, Robin.

Maybe we should have

stayed in furniture, man.

God!

The presentation was smooth.

What smooth? Tara disrupted...

Hey!

- Sorry boss.

Is everything else fine?

Fine won't do.

Fine won't get us anywhere.

We won't have offices all over Asia!
