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?

Come on! You know all of

us are focused on one thing.

It's our job as well.

Sorry guys, nothing is

going right since this morning.

Listen, we are meeting

the client in the evening.

Why are you tensed?

We will crack it.

Everything will be fine.

Fine! Bring them for

dinner after Tara's show.

And... we are going

to get them this time.

Okay!

- See you.

See you!

- You guys coming.

Bye!

- Thank you.

Shall we go?

Tired, aren't you?

Nikhil!

- Yeah, what is it?

Nikhil, why aren't you

picking up the phone?

Because I was busy!

I called you so many times,

you were just disconnecting it.

Anyway, mom had called.

What did mom say?

Nothing! She was asking...

...whether you are

coming to India or not?

Look, there is already a

lot of tension in my life.

I don't want this

mother-in-law tension now. Okay?

It is not just about mom, Nikhil.

Everyone wants to meet you.

Then tell them politely,

that I can't come.

I did!

- You did! Great!

I will see you in the evening, okay?

Okay!

- Okay!

Here!

- Thanks.

Nikhil isn't coming, isn't it?

I am not sure.

More importantly,

are you sure about him?

Of course... of course I am.

Okay, now ask him,

is he sure about you?

Meaning?

He doesn't remember your show.

Forgets to pick you up.

He doesn't eat your

half eaten food. - Nadia!

He forgets your anniversary.

One day, in the mid-sentence

he will forget even your name.

Very funny!

- It isn't funny.

Come on!

Yes!

Oh, so new earrings.

Who gave it?

- That sleazy friend of Nikhil!

What is his name?

- Who?

Wait? Jai!

He was saying that it is his

mother's last remembrance.

This!

But Jai's mother is alive.

- What?

Really!

Oh, maybe after

meeting you... you know...

I will slap you!

Come on!

- Come!

Seriously tell me,

is Jai's mother alive?

Have your tickets arrived?

Yes, mine have arrived.

Babe, why don't you

tell him clearly...

...that all this bothers you!

Because, right now I

cannot stress him out.

And what about you? Why

don't you think about yourself?

I love him.

Sometimes you should

love yourself too.

Appreciate yourself.

He doesn't!

You didn't consider

that important too.

Nadia, please.

What Nadia please?

He doesn't want to

meet your parents, fine.

But he should

introduce you to his parents.

He doesn't meet his parents himself.

After his dad's death, he just

couldn't handle another man...

...next to his mother!

Hello, my mother and

father don't stay together too.

But I don't mourn about it!

He needs to grow up.

Please, forget it.

You won't understand.

Ni...

Greetings sir!

Where do you want to go?

Take me to the National Theatre.

Does your... wife... work

in the theatre? - Yes.

Are you angry with her?

How do you know?

It is my job! Those who

deviate from their path...

...I show them the way

to their destination.

Tell me, what happened?

Nothing!

There is something!

Whatever it is, I don't

want to talk about it.

Never mind. It will be fine, soon.

I don't know. I do so much,

but still she is never happy.

Do you love her?

Why won't I love her?

What else do you want?

You love her, but don't

know how to express it.

It happens.

Take care!

You will know how to make her happy.

This time, when she comes back...

...I will make everything fine.

Back!

- Yes, she is going to India.

The whole world is swaying.

And what if she doesn't come back?

What do you mean?

Just think, if she

boarded the plane and left.

And didn't return!

Then?

What if you don't get the

chance to make everything right...

...then what will you do?

The answer is very easy.

Whatever you want to

tell her, do it now.

Isn't National Theatre up ahead?

Will you go empty handed, brother?

Thank you!

Brother!

Nadia!

Did Nikhil come?

Did you show me your thumb?

I do bite my thumb, sir.

Did you show me your thumb?

Is it the lower of

our side, if I say aye?

Why are you late?

No, sir.

I do bite my thumb sir,

but not at you sir.

Why are you late?

Do you quarrel sir?

Quarrel? No!

What do you do sir?

I am for you.

I serve as good a man, as you.

We are not that high.

Well sir, say better.

Here comes one of

my master's keepers!

Part fool! Put up your swords.

You know not what you do.

Are you fighting with these cowards?

Turn around Ben Olio!

See your death!

This is a goblet

of wine or my rival?

I gulped down all of

it kept by the devil.

Not even a drop is spared

for my message of death.

I am going out of the show.

Who is this

knocking at Kauzak's door?

Changez, this is not a dagger...

...but the sorrow of your separation.

It is killing me. Ouch!

She's damn good, pal.

Yes. Let's go.

- Jai, hang on.

Where is the star of the show?

Here she is.

Thank you.

- Well done! Well done!

It's marvellous.

You were just fabulous.

- Thank you very much.

It was real pleasure.

- Thanks.

Sorry Romeo, there are

many admirers of Juliet today.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Hi!

- Marry me?

Shut up!

Come on, pal.

- Shut up!

Hi!

- Hi!

You were so good!

Sorry, but I have to leave.

- Oh!

I'll call you later.

- Bye.

And I'll call you.

You were lovely!

- And you were bored.

Me?

- I saw you yawning thrice.

Were you performing

or counting my yawns?

I can do two things at a time, okay?

Okay, okay, guys, guys.

I've given money for the play,

not for your drama.

Okay I'm going now. I am late.

- Why?

Hey? Aren't you coming for dinner?

With you two love birds? No way!

Bye.

- I'll see you. Bye.

So?

- So?

My Juliet!

- Romeo!

Oh my God, you were amazing!

- Thank you.

You are a very lucky man!

Thank you. Thank you.

- Yes.

You were amazing.

- You were real good.

Everyone's been talking about you.

Honestly, you missed me crying

in the last scene. - Really?

Yes. Really.

You were great too. You

were lovely. Very good.

Thank you. Thanks again. Thanks.

Okay you know, the

scene before that... - Yes?

I completely forgot my lines...

Err... excuse me. We

have got to go for dinner.

We are getting late, you know.

- Yes, sure.

Would have liked to stay,

man, but we have to go.

Okay, very nice meeting you.

- Very nice meeting you.

Very glad to meet you.

- Enjoy your life.

I'II... I'll speak to you later.

- I'll see you too. - See you then.

Bye. Thank you.

- Bye.

Hi!

Nikhil, will you dance?

Have you ever seen me dancing?

How is the food?

- It's good.

You have ordered a lot of it.

I won't be able to eat so much.

Confine your

feelings to your heart.

Let it be in your heart.

- One minute. Excuse me.

I didn't eat anything the whole day.

I was so nervous.

How did you like the play?

- It was nice. - Only nice?

Yes, sir? - Can I have

another scotch with ice please?

It was nice. It was great.

Brilliant! Fantastic!

There are so many

differences among us like this.

I saw you today afternoon,

you were in great hurry.

Today afternoon I met a

very interesting taxi driver.

Thank you.

He was a little strange...
