What would you do?

We are talking about you, not me.

We are talking about both of us.

Our meeting is not a co-incidence.

Even if it is.. then there

is a purpose behind it.

What? That we dissatisfied

husbands will form a club?

What if I say.. I can help

you get rid of Preeti?

I.. don't understand.

Look, Rahul.

We are strangers.

We have met for the first

time in this train.

Apart from this.. we are strangers.

So?

Nandini is at home the whole day.

All the neighbours go for work.

You kill Nandini. And

I will kill Preeti.

That's the only way

to change our lives.

We just need a perfect

plan. That's all.

We will reach London after 4 hours.

Are you with me?

We are not doing anything wrong.

This is the only way to

claim our lives back.

All the best.

Ten years later, he said the

same thing, how do you do.

How do you do?

It's our advocate's call.

Hello. Yeah.

Oh hi.

Yes, Vinay.

Not to press charges against

the bus driver. I told you.

What will I do with

the compensation?

Amit won't come back!

Yes, please.

You too will leave me!

Please don't leave me! Please!

Okay, okay.

Okay.

Amit! Amit!

Tomorrow.. I have

an official dinner.

You too come.

Is that so?

Why? What happened?

Actually.. tomorrow I have

kept veneration for Amit.

So veneration will take a long time.

Is it okay if I don't come?

Fine.

If its possible for you to come..

then you too come.

What happened?

I have forgotten some papers.

I will just come.

At least finish your dinner.

My breaths are smouldering.

All my desires are aroused.

My lips are smouldering.

There is a new fragrance

in my each fragment.

My breaths are smouldering.

All my desires are aroused.

My lips are smouldering.

There is a new fragrance

in my each fragment.

If you have no objection,

can I sit here?

Look.. I am in a hurry.

It's okay.

You have to wait for some

things. Am I right?

Let me guess, this is your

first time here right.

And you won't tell me your

name till the time..

..I don't ask you.

Well in that case, forgive

me for my manners.

I am Sanjeev Das.

Well I am Priety, and l

hope you forgive mine.

Thank You.

You know, in a place like this

if you leave your drink..

..at the table, you generally

never see it again.

For in that matter, if you

leave anything at the bar..

..then you can forget it forever.

Well in that case.. you must

be leaving liberal tips.

The waiters seem to be your fan.

Actually.. many times I have

done favours on them.

When did you come here from lndia?

Why?

Indians don't do favours

for each other.

I thought lndian s believed

in community living.

Maybe that's why people

can't live alone.

Wow, Sanjeev! You are

anti-establishment!

How come you are here?

That too alone!

Did you have a fight with your wife?

There was no need for that.

My wife.. understands

my need to be alone.

No! This doesn't happen

in marriages.

When you are married, you

tend to drink alone..

..when you are bored

with your partner.

What do you do?

Troubling people sitting alone.

You are not troubling me.

In fact.. I was troubled.

But now.. I am all right.

Sure.

Sure.

And what if I say, at this moment..

..my husband is sitting somewhere

in this restaurant..

..at a table and watching us.

Gotcha!

I will just come.

Preeti.

Preeti, I don't think..

Preeti

Preeti.

Nowadays he drinks everyday.

And then he follows me too.

He thinks.. I sleep

with every man I see.

At times.. I stay out

the whole night.

Just because I know he is waiting.

And today.. tonight l..

I actually thought I will do it.

I thought I will be the person

I am pretending to be.

Preeti, what you are doing..

its very risky.

Was your husband at

the restaurant today?

Maybe no.

Today he was really drunk.

Well in that case.. I got saved

from being in his hit list.

Look, Preeti. It's really late.

I think you should go home.

Here is my card.

If you need anything, just call me.

In fact.. if you just feel

like talking then call me.

Thank you.

I am sorry, I don't

carry business cards.

The phone connection has been cut.

I don't need it. If you need

it, then pay the bill.

I told you to pay the bill.

Hello. Aren't you forgetting

something? - What?

That I am unemployed.

Who doesn't earn? I. How

will I pay the bill?

Then why don't you earn?

What is the need? You are there!

You go out with so many men.

You sleep with them.

Don't you take money?

Just for free?

these purple night.

Thank God they are well.

These people look great

from a distance.

Am I also like these people?

Not until now.

Cheers to that

Bottoms up.

No

- 1.. 2.. 3!

Sh*t!

Oops!

Two glasses please.

And a bottle of tequila.

And a bottle of tequila.

And I used to go fishing a lot.

Amit and me.

Your son!

He was 6 years old. The

bus driver was reversing.

He didn't see Amit.

He was a smart boy.

Extremely naughty.

Too smart boy.

When did you come?

- Just now.

Are you tired?

- No. I am fine.

I was thinking let's

go for a stroll.

Yes. Come.

- No. Let it be.

No, no, it's fine! Come!

- You go and change.

No! I am fine! Let's go.

- Okay.

Are you feeling cold?

- No.

Remember.. once we had gone

to Himanchal. - In '97.

Yes. In '97.

I had a habit of drinking

too many teas there.

Once strolling like this.. we

were searching for a tea stall.

We must have walked for 2.5 km.

We didn't find any tea stall.

And we both caught chill.

We couldn't go anywhere

else in the holidays.

It has been so many years.

What happened?

Do you know them?

No.. who are they?

They recently had a child. And their

child's pram is just like Amit's.

Hello.

Same time next year.

What are you saying?

There is a performance this evening.

Yes. So are we going?

You tell me.

Pick my up at 5.

Then we will have dinner outside.

- Okay.

Bye.

- Okay.

Listen.. carry an umbrella.

- Why?

No. Unlike boyfriends..

..in London rains are

not predictable.

But if your boyfriend has a car..

..then rains don't make

any difference.

Fantastic.

So what time is it now?

- My watch is on the table.

No, it 3.25.

I am going to get a cup of coffee.

God knows what paths

this life shows.

These eyes had lost

the brightness.

Then I met you.

And life has become beautiful.

God knows what paths

this life shows.

So.. did you like the play?

It was a great play

But very less audience. Am I right?

I guess that what happens

to great plays.

Without you, I felt

something is lost.

Whom should I have told..

what has happened.

Without you there

was such a dearth.

What happened?

- Nothing.

Something is the matter.

I don't like evenings very much.

I don't like the light coming up.

Why do people like evening so much?

If evening didn't exist.. then

even we couldn't have met.

Isn't that something to

look for award too?

Honestly, that's the only thing

I look forward to these days.

I found you. And l

found everything.

I have found the

reason for living.

Now every moment smiles.
