-(WHISPERING) Chanel, snap out of it.
-The song is over.

-But they loved us.
-Who?

The fans?

That's it?

It's kind of rough.

Well, we're still working out the kinks.

-Yeah, we used to be a foursome.
-Yes.

Then Galleria got into Cambridge...

Which, you know,
is great and amazing...

Especially considering
her study habits.

But that's why she's in summer school.

-But trust us, we totally got this down.
-Yeah, whatever.

Look, you get your act together,
you give me a call.

Then we can talk about representation.

Thanks.

(DORINDA SIGHS)

DORINDA: Now what?

AQUA: It just seems so hopeless.

-What happened to your laptop?
-Nothing.

You are not messing
with your computer

so you can flirt
with that tech support guy?

No.

Maybe.

He has a name.

Kevin, extension 347.

Wow.

What is your dad going to say
when he finds out

you've been wasting
precious study time

flirting with the nerd patrol?

Okay. We cannot all have a gorgeous,
devoted Spanish boyfriend.

Well, actually,

no one has a gorgeous,
devoted Spanish boyfriend.

-What?
-AQUA: Joaquin broke up with you?

-I'm so sorry, Do.
-I'm okay.

What happened?

Time differences, phone bills.
I'm here, he's there.

Things changed.
It just got to be too hard.

Yo, I'm so sorry.
I know you really liked him.

I'm cool. And I'm hungry.
Anybody else?

-Starving as usual.
-Yeah.

Let's get out of here.

CHANEL: You pick whatever spot
you want, Do, all right?

Anything but Spanish.

(SOFT INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING)

I see you've met Ganesh.

-The statue?
-Mmm-hmm.

He's known as the remover
of obstacles.

Well, that's perfect.
We've got nothing but obstacles.

-Such as?
-No work.

-No agent.
-No singing career.

Sometimes all you need is a little faith.

Okay, this is depressing.

We've been on, like, a million auditions
and what have we booked?

That would be nothing.

I can't deal with the stress of failure.

I'm already behind
in my reading for Columbia.

We still have two months until college.

Yeah, but when it does start,

we're not going to have time
to rehearse.

Maybe it is time for things to change.

I really should be taking
that college prep class.

Yeah, and I've got that dance camp
lined up for the summer.

Are you guys seriously ready
to give up the Cheetah dream?

-No. I don't want it to end.
-Me, either.

Well, it's now or never,
so let's make it now.

Look, I promise from now on,
I will stay so focused,

nothing will get in our way.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Exactly.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Okay.

Are you kidding?
Of course we're interested.

What? Who is it?

You want us to audition for a movie?
Where?

Somebody wants
the Cheetah Girls to audition for,

like, a huge Hollywood musical.

(SQUEALING)

Hello? Definitely, we will be there.

(SQUEALING)

(LAUGHING)

Okay, what's the movie about?

Yeah, I don't remember,

because I kind of lost my focus
after the whole "Hollywood" part.

-We have to get this.
-We will.

I haven't been this nervous in so long.

Our luck is changing. I can feel it.

Well, what are we waiting for?
Cheetahs, it's on!

(ALL HUMMING)

(SINGING) No one can hold us back
when we're set to go

Go!

No one can tell us that we're not
ready when we're ready to flow

Flow!

Lead by example
Here's a sample on the floor

Yeah, try a little harder
Move a little faster

If you can't find the strength
you're after

Dig a little deeper, dig a little deeper

Just like we had to do it
Just like we had to do it

You got to dig a little deeper
Dig a little deeper

(RHYTHMIC CLAPPING)

(HUMMING)

We're celebrating
like we never did before

Before!

Went through the fire,
took it higher, check the score

Score!

If you wanna be a leader,
check your ego at the door

Right there

Yeah, be a trendsetter, be a go-getter
if you want to do everything better

Dig a little deeper, dig a little deeper

Just like we had to do it
Just like we had to do it

You got to dig a little deeper
Dig a little deeper

Don't ask the question
what it is you should do

Don't ask

Just take some action, it'll come to you

It will

It's all connected
All you have to do

Is move, baby, move, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah

You're on a roll, let it go, lose control

Don't you know it's the best thing
you can do?

Yeah!

Go!

-Dig a little deeper
-Here we go

Dig a little deeper, dig a little deeper

Just like we had to do it
Just like we had to do it

Like we had to

You got to dig a little deeper
Dig a little deeper

Just like we had to do it
Just like we had to do it

You got to dig a little deeper
Dig a little deeper

Just like we had to do

You've got to dig a little deeper
Dig a little deeper

Yeah

Just give us a moment, please.

(WHISPERING) Okay. All right.
How do you think we did?

-We nailed it.
-I so want to go to California.

-We are going to California.
-Here he comes.

Hi, and thank you for coming.
I'm the director. Well, I'm Vik.

But actually my parents say,
"Hello, Vikram." But I prefer Vik.

So anyway, I'm Vik, the director.

You were very, very good.

-Amazing, really.
-Thank you.

We have a plane to catch.

Right. So, here's the deal.

I would like you, all of you,
to star in my movie.

My first Bollywood movie.
If that's okay with you.

(SINGS) We're going to be in a movie

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Thank you, thank you.

You have no idea
what this means to us.

No, thank you.

If it wasn't for you, I'd be packing
my bags for dental school.

Nothing, it's...
Well, just my parents, they...

Never mind.
So you're cool with the schedule, right?

Your flight leaves
the day after tomorrow.

Things move fast in Bollywood.

The Cheetahs are going...

-What did he just say?
-Bollywood.

That's what I thought you said.

India? Bollywood?

The movie-making capital of the world?

India?
Like the other side of the world, India?

-Chanel.
-Bollywood. Hollywood.

My cell phone connection
was bad, okay?

Stupid teléfono.

I'm positive I said that we'd be
shooting in Mumbai.

Okay. Well, like, in my defense,

I didn't exactly know
where Mumbai was.

It's the biggest city in India.

You'll love it.
I mean, I hope that you'll love it.

No, I'm sorry.

Why are we sorry? We're not sorry.

Is there a problem?
There can't be a problem.

Yeah, I don't have time for a problem.

Yeah. There is.

I'm sorry. There's not a problem.
Could you just give us a minute?

VIKRAM: Sure.

Come on. This is a chance of a lifetime.

Hello? Once again, India,
other side of the world!

Yeah, I thought we were going to try

to make it big
on this side of the world first.

And I have a college prep this summer.

And I'm teaching dance camp.

Dance camp and college prep?

This is an opportunity for
the Cheetah Girls

to become international movie stars.

How can you pass this up?

You're serious?
You really think we should do this?

I am more sure about this
than I've been about anything.

This is our Cheetah destiny.

It is the movie-making
capital of the world.

I guess I can get some
studying done on the plane.

And I could probably teach
the second session of dance camp.

Yo, and come on.
That director's mad cute.

I know.

Wait. No. No talk about boys.

-Cute or not cute.
-All right, cool. No talk about boys.

Anything else?

Yeah, just one thing.

ALL: We're going to India!

(LAUGHING)

One girl, Vik.

You're supposed to bring back one girl.

What's your uncle going to say
when you show up with three?

Once my uncle meets them,

he'll see that they should
all be in the movie.

Don't you maybe just
want to talk to your uncle

before you make this decision?

Look, okay,
the Cheetah Girls are my stars.

I'll just rewrite the script for
three beautiful leading ladies.

Why do I have to tell my uncle?

Because he's the producer.
He's paying for the movie.

(GIRLS CHATTERING EXCITEDLY)

Right. There's always that.

DORINDA: It's going to be so good to
get out of New York for the summer.

AQUA: I know, the heat.

CHANEL: And all that crazy traffic.

(HORNS HONKING)

(GIRLS SHRIEKING)

CHANEL: Watch out! Watch out!

-Okay, slow down!
-Oh, my God!

(SIGHS)

Okay, so it's crowded and hot.

Yeah, but we're in India.

And it's Cheetah-licious!

(LAUGHING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(CALL DISCONNECTS)

(HORNS HONKING)

(TIRES SQUEALING)

Loving Mumbai. This hotel is beautiful.

Room service.

And jewelry for sale
right by the front door.

Oh, wow.

(LAUGHS)

Yes.

(SINGING) Cheetah...

CHANEL: Are you sure you got it?

(AQUA SQUEALS)

Okay. Right this way.

Please don't drop
the bag on the bottom.

It's muy importante.

Well, at least she packed light.

(LUGGAGE THUDDING)

MAN: Here you go. Have a good day.
DORINDA: Thank you.

MAN: You're welcome.

Miss?

-Come here. Come.
-CHANEL: Thank you, sir.

-My mom will love this.
-You're welcome.

-Take this string and tie it in the tree.
-(CHUCKLES) Don't get me wrong.

I mean, it's colorful, but I think
there's enough strings in this tree.

It's for a wish.

You make a wish, tie the string,

and when it comes true, you return,

untie the string, and say thank you.

-To the tree?
-Who else?

Come on, Cheetahs,
we could use the luck.

Everybody grab a string.
Come on, let's make a wish.

Thank you.

Who would ever think
that a girl from New York

would be in this beautiful hotel room
next to the Indian Ocean?

Arabian Sea.

Pardon me for ever
cracking open a guidebook.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hey, should I call Kevin 347 now?

'Cause it's night back home.

Or should I wait until tonight,
which is yesterday?

Honestly, why are you
even wasting your time?

Phone relationships are doomed.

(SCOFFS) You used to think
it was romantic.

Yeah, well, learn from my mistakes.

Ready for your close-ups,
amigas Cheetahs?

Vik just sent over
the rehearsal schedule,

and if we don't hurry up,
we're going to be late.

-Ch-chop.
-All right.

Hey, Chanel?

-Thanks.
-For what?

You know,
for believing in the Cheetahs.

Yeah, if it wasn't for you,
we'd never be here.

You were fierce.

You guys know
there's nothing I wouldn't do

to keep the Cheetahs together.

Including kick their butts and tell them,

"We have got to go."
We've got to get ready.

-Bollywood, here we come.
-CHANEL: Yeah.

AQUA: Look at that.
CHANEL: Check that out.

(GUARD SPEAKING HINDI)

Let them know
the Cheetah Girls have arrived.

(GUARD SPEAKING HINDI)

I can't believe this is really happening.

-Really.
-This is amazing.

Better than amazing.

AQUA: The Taj Mahal.

Built in 1643, it's one of
the Seven Wonders of the World.

And one of the most
romantic places in all of India.

They say if you kiss
someone there at sunset,

you'll know in your heart
if your love is true.

Well, you can count me out.

-What?
-Glad you made it.

Me, too.

Shall we?

So I really wanted to do
a more traditional remake

of the classic hit Namaste Bombay.

But, Uncle, the producer,

well, it was his idea
to make it more marketable.

Cast Americans, make it more modern,
more contemporary.

Well, what's the script about anyway?

Well, there's still a couple of
adjustments that we have to make.

But basically... It's a love story.

I love romance.

I can't wait to tell
Kevin about our movie.

Hello? Does anyone
remember the deal? No boys.

My bad.

Anyway, it's classic Bollywood cinema.

It's all about singing, dancing,
romance and intrigue.

-That's Rahim. He's your co-star.
-He's our co-star?

He's a big star,

like Bollywood royalty.

And Uncle gave him his first movie.

Here he comes now.

(GIRLS CHATTERING EXCITEDLY)

GIRL 1: Please, can I have
your autograph?

-Please, please, please?
-GIRL 2: Sign mine, please.

-Gorgeous.
-GIRL 3: Thank you, thank you.

-Who should I make this out to?
-My mom.

No, wait, wait, me!

No, no, no, no, my mom, my mom!
Sorry.

My mom loved your parents
in Namaste Bombay.

And they actually fell in love
with each other while filming.

Wow, that is so romantic.

-Yes, it is very romantic. Thank you.
-Thank you!

Next, please.

Who should I make this out to?

-That is so embarrassing.
-Girl, he's just a guy.

Rahim. Meet your co-leads.
Chanel. Dorinda. Aqua.

Nice to meet you. I hear you're great.
I'm looking forward to working with you.

Well, if you'll excuse me,
I have to get busy writing.

Well, rewriting.

Come on, ladies. They're ready for you.

Bye.

I don't understand. These Americans
are supposed to be on time.

Hey, ladies. I can't spend
half my day chasing after...

Hi, Rahim.

That's Gita. She's our choreographer.

(GITA GRUNTING)

-She's our choreographer?
-Yeah.

Whoa.

-Hi, Rahim.
-Gita, let me help you.

-I didn't know you were...
-You're fine, yeah? You okay?

-Okay.
-I'm okay. He was supposed to be...

Careful!

(LAUGHING NERVOUSLY)

(RAHIM SNORTS)

(RAHIM SNORTING)

Rahim. Rahim. We have to go.
He's got his costume fitting.

-It's okay.
-It's okay. Okay, bye.

-Bye.
-Excuse us, ladies.

-Bye.
-DORINDA: Later.

-I think he just snorted.
-Yeah, twice.

Yeah, kind of over him.

Okay, ladies. Come on in.

GITA: Okay, listen up.

I've managed to track down our stars.
This is...

-Aqua.
-Dorinda.

-What's up? Chanel.
-Hi.

And these are your dancers.

Vik says you're amazing dancers,

so you shouldn't have
a problem picking it up.

-You ready?
-Yeah.

So it's one, two, three, four,
one, two, three, four, one, two, three.

One, two. Pop.

One, two, three, four.

Bollywood 101.

Well, what if you haven't had,
like, Bollywood one?

-Is it all going to be like this?
-GITA: All right!

Five, six, seven, eight.

One, two, three, four.
One, two, three, four. One, two, three...

(DANCERS LAUGHING)

Hold it. Hold it. Hold it.

Sorry. It's just, you know,
we've really never done this before.

Yeah. I can see that.

Are you saying we can't dance?

It's okay.

It's my job to make sure you look
like you can, even if you can't.

All right, people. I think we have to
break it down even more.

A lot more.

That's it. You got to stop!

Chica, look, she's the choreographer.
It's her vision.

-Whatever. Just chill.
-We'll get it. It's new. Come on.

All right. Whatever.

But nobody tells me I can't dance.
Let's see your moves.

Come on, bring it, bring it.

-Yeah, let's see what you've got.
-Come on, girl.

(SINGING) Are you sure
that you're up for this?

Do you think you can handle it?

It's complicated
You might get frustrated

We got the moves that you never seen

Let me show you just what I mean

There's really no chance
that you can do our dance

Can't keep up, can't keep up, no

Try to keep up, try to keep up, yeah

Can't keep up, can't keep up, no

Oh, no

Oh, no, show me what you got

Try to follow, watch me now

If you think that you know how,
then dance me

Dance me if you can

Get it together or fall apart

If you think it's not that hard,
then dance me

Dance me if you can

Dance me if you can

Dance me
Dance me if you can

I know you think that you're in control

But watch and learn
'cause this is how we roll

Work it just like this
Let's see you try and do that

What's the matter?
Can't you figure it out?

'Cause you look confused,
mixed up, no doubt

There's really no chance
that you can do our dance

Can't keep up, can't keep up, no

Try to keep up, try to keep up, yeah

Can't keep up, can't keep up, no

-Come on, come on
-Yeah, yeah

Show me what you got

Try to follow, watch me now

If you think that you know how,
then dance me

Dance me

Dance me if you can

Oh, yeah

Get it together or fall apart

If you think it's not that hard,
then dance me

Dance me

Dance me if you can

Yeah!

Is that the best that you can do?

You're gonna have to try much harder

Now's the time to make your move,
you know

Hey, hey, get ready!
Hey, hey, let's go!

Yeah!

That's right

Here we go

What?

Yeah, yeah!

Try to follow, watch me now

If you think that you know how,
then dance me

Dance me

-Dance me if you can
-Dance me if you can

Get it together or fall apart

If you think it's not that hard,
then dance me

Dance me

-Dance me if you can
-Dance me if you can

-Everybody wants to win
-Wants to win

If you think you can handle it,
then dance me

Dance me if you can

-Make it look easy, that's the way
-That's the way

If you think you got what it takes,
then dance me

-Dance me if you can
-Dance me if you can

(ALL CHEERING)

Yeah!

(WHOOPING)

-That was great!
-Awesome.

Hello, ji.

Myself, Kamal Bhatia.
Who might you be?

We're the stars of the movie.
We're the Cheetah Girls.

Stars? Vikram Kumar Bhatia!

(EXCLAIMING)

KAMAL UNCLE: Why you hiding?

I see you.

(CHUCKLING NERVOUSLY)

Yes, Uncle-ji.

One star.
Your script is saying one star.

Your budget is saying one star.
So I am saying, one star.

-What?
-But there are three of us.

Well, I just made a couple of changes.

But budget has
not made couple of changes.

Listen, Uncle, these girls are fantastic.

If you would just take
a moment to watch them perform,

I'm sure that you'll see that they have...

-Good idea.
-But I really think that they have...

What? Excuse me?

Each Cheetah performs.
I will choose best one.

What? Like, audition?

-Against each other?
-Correct.

I will choose one star,
others go home. Goodbye.

Otherwise,
two ladies are having Indian holiday

and Kamal Bhatia is paying.

-No, no, no, no. No, no.
-Okay. Uncle, please.

But I'm the director.
I spent days rewriting the script.

-Do you want to make movie?
-Yes.

Or shall I telephone your parents

and tell them you would
prefer to be dentist?

Good point. I'll start rewriting.

-Again.
-Good idea.

Goodbye.

(SPEAKING HINDI)

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

What is going on?

You can't book one of us
and not the other.

Okay, we're a group.
You cast the Cheetahs. Plural.

I know this must be a little bit
shocking right now.

That's an understatement.

Whatever. No deal.
Cheetahs, we're out.

What were we thinking?

-I gave up a college prep class.
-I gave up teaching dance camp.

Maybe the Cheetahs are over.

(SINGING) All right

Hey

(HUMMING)

Oh, yeah

We're standing on the edge
of something

Do we stay or do we run?
It's obvious everything's changed

My head can't seem to figure out
why my heart is full of doubt

Maybe we're just tired of the game

Guess you never know
what's going to happen

So you do the best you can

Following your soul
might bring you back

Or it may have another plan

Please don't let it fly away, high away

Gotta keep it together
Feel for the flow

Don't fly away, high away

Please don't
Don't let it fly away

We've never felt this place before
Wondering if anymore

We can find in us what it takes

It's not about who's to blame
I pray that they're just growing pains

Laughing while they're testing our faith

'Cause you never know
what's going to happen

So you do the best you can

Following our souls
might bring us back

Unless it has another plan, yeah, yeah

Please don't let it fly away, high away

Gotta keep it together
Feel for the flow

Don't fly away, high away

Please don't
Don't let it fly away

It's yes, it's no
We stay, we go

We go

Feels like we're questioning
everything, yeah

-We run, we fall, but through it all
-Through it all

We never thought we would break

We never thought we would break

Please

Please don't let it fly away, high away

Gotta keep it together
Feel for the flow

-Fly away
-High away

-Please don't
-Please don't

Don't let it fly away

(EXCITED CHATTER)

Thank you.

So, what do you think?

Cute earrings.

No, about the whole auditioning thing.

I don't know. What do you think?

I think it stinks.

What? This color is perfect on you.

(SIGHS) Aqua, the audition.

Yeah, it does.

I mean, they can't really expect us to
audition against each other, can they?

Look, I'm really sorry for
getting us into this mess.

And, Do, you should take the part.

Come on, you actually
turned down a job for this,

and you really need the money.

No, Aqua should do it.

This is an awesome opportunity,
and you're an amazing actress.

No. Vik clearly wants Chanel.

What?

"What?" He barely even looks
at us when you're around.

That is so not true.
And even if that were true,

I would never use that to get
an unfair advantage over my girls.

Look, seriously, we could all do this.

This is an opportunity of a lifetime.
How could we pass this up?

Okay. I think we should audition.

-Fair and square, Cheetah-style.
-Yes.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

That's weird, there's no caller ID.
Hello?

Aqua? This is Kevin from
Totally Tech Support.

Kevin 347.

You guys, it's Kevin 347.
He's never called me before.

What? What are you doing, girl?
Talk to him.

Hi. Hello?

I hope it's okay that I'm calling.

I was just following up
on your computer problem.

You were right.
I just needed to defrag the disk,

and replace the corrupted registry file

and reload the 802.11 B driver,
and it was fine.

Now I'm officially impressed.

I knew you really didn't need my help.

Is that the only reason why you called?

Not entirely. Are you busy?

-No. I'm not doing anything.
-Me, neither.

I mean, other than looking at the most
beautiful sunset I've ever seen.

It is beautiful.

Wait a minute.
You're watching the sunset, too?

That means...

We're in the same time zone!
There's this beautiful temple.

With white carved elephants?

-Yes.
-Wait a minute.

Describe exactly where you are.

Okay. I'm on a gorgeous path...

Along the Arabian Sea...

And there are people out,
and they're holding hands.

And there's an ice cream stand,
and it's called...

Naturals?

That's right!

You didn't tell me
you were coming to India.

You didn't tell me you lived in India.

(CHUCKLES)

Wait, you don't sound like
you live in India.

See, I watch a lot
of American television.

Aqua?

Kevin 347?

Amar.

Actually, I'm only Kevin at work.
No, really.

This is him!

Yo, I think we should
give our girl some privacy.

No, I know how these long-distance
things end. I'm going to talk to her.

What? Are you crazy?

This is so romantic.
We are in India, anything can happen.

Fine.

(MAN SPEAKING HINDI)

Have you noticed that
every elephant looks at me?

(CHUCKLING) Are you serious?
It's an elephant!

No, I'm not kidding.

It's like they're wanting
to tell me something.

Okay, now.
The elephant is wanting to tell you

that it's okay for your friends to flirt
and have some fun.

It doesn't mean they're
going to abandon you.

Good. Because this is our
last summer together.

I'm really nervous things are going
to change when we go to college.

Nothing is going to change.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

We'll always be there for each other.

-Okay.
-Hold up, this is Vik.

I'm going to tell him about the audition.

-But your...
-Hello? Hey, how are you?

Having doubts?

What, me? No.

(BELLS TINKLING)

Maybe.

Sometimes what we wish for
is not what we really need.

Don't miss where you are now
because you're anxious for the future.

Understand?

But what if I'm afraid
of where I'm going?

Look at this tree.

The branches grow out to the sky,
but the trunk remains the same.

Life brings changes,

but the things that really matter
always stay with us.

Yeah, well, I'm not really
a big fan of change.

Change will take place
whether you like it or not.

Yeah.

I can see
you have been through a lot in life.

So you know, when things are bad,
they don't stay that way.

Here.

Ganesh?

He was supposed to remove obstacles.
Now we have more.

Do you have anything else
that will help me?

Oh, yes. I have just the thing.
Close your eyes.

What was that for?

Clarity.

(CHUCKLES) Clarity?

-Too spicy?
-Are you kidding?

This is like breakfast in Texas.
What's it called again?

Chaat. Papri Chaat, actually.

I like it. It's like Indian nachos.

It's crunchy, with a little bit of kick.

I love a girl that can handle her chilies.

See, I bet you cannot find
this in New York.

Well, maybe you could
bring me some?

You know,
Columbia has one of the best

Physics departments
in the whole world.

My father would never agree to that.
It's all planned.

I start at the Indian School of Business
in the fall.

Can't you just tell him you want
to keep your options open?

The only time I talk to my father

is when I'm listening to him
telling me what to do.

Sometimes I get frustrated
that I don't have as many options,

but I think I'd be terrified
if I had as many as you do.

The one thing my dad always told me
was to go after my dreams.

So what's one of your dreams?

To star in Vik's movie.

So go for it. What's stopping you?

It's a little bit more
complicated than that.

I mean, there's only one role
and three Cheetahs want it.

GITA: One, two, three, four...

One and two.

Three, four.

All right, guys. We'll just take a break.

-Yeah?
-Yeah.

Bye!

I'm fine. I'm fine. I'm fine.

Cool.

You got to be kidding me.

What?

You can't even rehearse.

Any time you're around her,
you act like a big dork.

I do not act like a dork.

Okay.

Really? A dork?

Well, a little.

No, that's a lie. A lot.

You act like a huge dork around her.

I know! It's just that I get so...

So nervous around her.

Why? You're the big movie star.

Because I've never felt this way before.

Yeah, well,
that's the oldest line in the book.

-I've heard it before.
-I mean it.

I've never even kissed a girl. Ever.

Seriously?

No, but I've seen you kiss.
In your movies.

Yes. On camera, but never for real.
Not off camera.

That's actually kind of romantic.

It is?

Dorinda, would you help me?

What?

Help me not act like such a dork
around Gita.

You really like her, huh?

No, sorry. Crushes lead to boyfriends,
and boyfriends lead to heartache.

-You're on your own, buddy.
-Hey.

If you help me with Gita,
I promise to help you with the audition.

I don't know.

I've seen you dance.

I can help you show the world
what you can do.

-You're rewriting it again?
-It was either rewrite the script or

(IMITATING DENTIST'S DRILL)

"Vik Bhatia, dental school,"
as Uncle likes to say.

Well, I guess if that's what it takes
to get your movie made.

I know what you're thinking,
but this is my one shot.

And, yes,
if I have to make some compromises,

at least I get a shot at my dream.

What if this was your
only shot to be a star?

Don't you think you'd give it
everything you've got?

I mean, how could you
spend the rest of your life

wondering if you really
could've made it?

Well, I have to get back to writing.

-All right.
-See you later.

Yeah.

(SINGING) Maybe this was meant to be

Maybe now it should be me

Been dreaming of this forever

But I'm feeling so confused, yeah

It's hard to see what's right
between you and I

And I don't know what to do

Oh, we'd stay together always
is the promise we made

But suddenly it's not so clear

And I'm being pulled both ways

And it's breaking my heart
Tearing me apart

It's impossible to choose

What if I don't try?

What if I do?

Everything that I've dreamed
is right in front of me

If I win, what would I lose?

How could I learn to live

Wondering what if?

Things would never be the same
Oh, no

Maybe that's the price of fame

Been waiting for this forever

It's close enough for me to touch

But if I don't go for it
I might always regret

But is it worth us breaking up?

Oh, we'd stay together always
is the promise we made

But suddenly it's not so clear

And I don't know what to say

And it's breaking my heart
Tearing me apart

It's impossible to choose

What if I don't try?

What if I do?

Everything that I've dreamed
is right in front of me

If I win, what would I lose?

How could I learn to live, wondering

What if I would've tried?
I can shine, even fly

I don't wanna realize
after it's too late, no

And see it all pass me by

If I do, if I don't
Will I ever really know

What the future could hold
before it slips away?

Could be the chance of a lifetime

And it's breaking my heart
Tearing me apart

It's impossible to choose

What if I don't try?

What if I do?

Everything that I dreamed
is right in front of me

If I win, what would I lose?

How could I learn to live, wondering

What if?

Chanel!

I never wanna say

"What if?"

So, are you guys okay
auditioning against each other?

Yeah. I mean, we're best friends,
and we completely trust each other.

And no one's going to betray that
just to get a part in a movie.

Wow, that's refreshing.

Obviously, you've never worked
in Bollywood.

-Do you want to be a star?
-Maybe, once.

But I don't think I could ever be a star.

I just love performing.
Acting, singing, dancing.

I've always loved to dance.

-You have to try this on.
-I could never pull that off.

Just something plain for me.

Oh! He's here.

Gita, is that
what you were worried about?

-It's okay. I know you like him.
-Yeah, so what?

He would never want to go out with me.
Like I said, I'm not a movie star.

That doesn't matter.

And besides,
when you're on that dance floor,

it's pretty clear that you are a star.

You don't need a guy to tell you that.

So, what do you think?
Isn't it fantastic?

This isn't my wedding set.

Where are the flowers?
Where's the set dressing?

(VIKRAM EXCLAIMING)

(SIGHS)

Vik, talk to your uncle.

He said this is what we could afford.

See this chair? We got it for free.

Your uncle sure hates
to pass up a bargain.

Tell me about it.

I just need one minute.

Okay, look, Uncle-ji,
it's just not what I had in mind.

-None of it is.
-Viku, beta.

You need to learn some things
about how real world works.

I went to film school, Uncle.
NYU. I won awards.

-I know how to do this.
-Oh, really?

You are already over the budget
and under the schedule.

You won awards for that also in NYU?

Look, I just need some more time.

Time is one thing you don't have.
Another thing is money.

So if you don't start
shooting next week,

I'm pulling plug
on American Girl in India.

Actually, you re-titled it
Kamal Bhatia's Namaste Bombay.

Correct. And if you don't fix it,
I'm going to re-title it

Vik Bhatia's Bye-bye, Bombay,
Hello, Dental School.

Actually, your name has
a nice ring to it.

Kamal Uncle, the palace set is a wreck.

I can't have it ready in a week.

-What about a location?
-What about?

If it's free, okay.
Otherwise, movie is over. And...

You think about how many cavities
you're going to have to drill

to pay back
what you have spent already!

Ah! Ah! Okay.

(KAMAL UNCLE SPEAKING HINDI)

No set?

I guess this weekend's auditions
are off.

Guess you heard.

I can't possibly find a location
in a week, let alone for free.

Uncle is going to shut down the movie
for sure.

Time to book our flights home.

You can't go home yet.
You haven't seen anything of India.

Come home with me for Holi.
It's my favorite holiday.

In fact, you're all invited.

-What's Holi?
-It's the festival of colors.

I can't go. I only have a week
to audition, rehearse,

and find a location.

Vik, trust me, Rajasthan is
the best place to find a location.

The village that my parents live in

is a hundred times more beautiful
than any movie set.

And I just might have a palace for you.

Yeah, you can audition, rehearse.
I'll take care of everything.

Wow. Thank you?

How exciting! Cheetah road trip.

Viku, what you are doing sitting
talking to ladies?

You have no set and only one week.

We're just making a plan
to do some location scouting.

Location scouting? What do you know
about location scouting?

I'm coming with you.

(SPEAKING HINDI)

See you later, Swami.

Girls, don't forget to untie your strings!

(SCOFFS)

Looks like our strings
are going to be up there for a long time.

Look, I don't think our wishes
are going to come true.

The tree is still working.
You must give it some time.

Well, can you tell that tree
to get a move on it?

For real. Like, we're running late.

The point of time is
to help you understand where you are,

not to make you rush
to the next place, understand?

Not really. No.

I have just the thing
that will help you see more clearly.

Oh, no, no, no. No, we're good.
But thank you so much.

-Okay, well, bye, Swami.
-Bye.

(STAND UP PLAYING)

(SINGING) Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

What you waiting for, yo
Everything is here and now, all around

So don't be shy
It's time to party

Get your back up off the wall

You know what you came here for

For sure

-So don't be late let's get it started
-Started

Lean back
Walk it out

Stepping's what it's all about

Come on

-Rock with it now
-Now

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Huh? Huh?

No, no, no, no. No, no, no, no. Sorry.
No, no, no, 15%.

So why did you want
to be a director, anyway?

When I was a kid, my parents used
to take me to see movies,

like, all the time.

And sometimes
you'd go see Uncle films,

and it was the most amazing thing
to think that he made all that happen.

He created those great stories.

And now when I write a script,
it's like I can see the movie in my head.

It's like I've met the characters
and I've been to the places.

I want the whole world to see my films.

I get it. It's like when I sing.
I, like, go somewhere else,

-become somebody else.
-Yeah.

It's the greatest feeling in the world.

And I just want to share it.

-Stand up now, everybody
-Everybody

-Stand up and celebrate
-Celebrate

-Ain't now the best time of your life?
-Uh-huh

That's right

Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Everybody stand up

(INDIAN MUSIC PLAYING)

Do you see that?
That elephant is staring right at me.

Don't worry.
My grandmother says it's good luck.

-They're trying to help you.
-Like Ganesh?

It's a sign.

-You're lucky. They always ignore me.
-Really?

Well, maybe my luck is changing.

(EXCLAIMS IN DISGUST)

Or not.

(SIGHS)

(HINDI SONG PLAYING)

Glad you made it.

Did they just get married?

No. If this was a wedding,
he'd be riding a horse.

-Is that your palace?
-Don't be ridiculous. It's my parents'.

Oh, my. Oh, my.

Why didn't you mention any of this?

Were you just playing a joke
on the smart girl

who's too dumb to realize
you're a maharajah?

I am no such thing,
technically, until my grandfather dies.

You should have told me.

Okay, I'm sorry,
but it doesn't change anything.

If anything,
it makes my life more difficult.

It limits my options.

-Really?
-Yeah.

'Cause it seems to me
that you've got lots of options.

Not like you.

If the Cheetahs don't work out,
there are a million things you can do.

You can make your own decisions.

-I can never do that.
-Well, have you ever even tried?

That's just not how things work
with my father.

Amar, beta? It's time to eat.
Please tell your friends, beta.

(SPEAKING HINDI)

Ready? Come on.

(ALL LAUGHING)

CHANEL: Seriously... So good.

AMAR'S MOTHER: I'm sorry my
husband is away on business.

But we are both so happy
that you are here

celebrating the holiday with our family.

-Thank you.
-Thank you.

Personally, I had never imagined
the day

that Rahim Khan and Kamal Bhatia
would be seated at our table.

Most honored. Most honored.
Thank you. Thank you so much.

And another small thing.

I have prepared
all of Amar's favorite dishes tonight.

So, Aqua, pay close attention.

-Yeah, Aqua. Take notes.
-She's just being friendly.

Yeah, right.
I think it's a little more than that.

-Aqua?
-Yes.

Did you try the chicken tikka masala?

-Yeah. It's actually my favorite.
-Really?

I make it every time Amar comes home.
I'll give you the recipe later, okay?

Okay.

Don't worry.
She did this to his last girlfriend, too.

(THUMP)

-(EXCLAIMS) What?
-Thank you.

She did.

-I'm not his girlfriend.
-Not yet, anyway.

This is seriously incredible.

It's just like the palace
in Namaste Bombay.

I mean, I wouldn't ask
if this wasn't crucial or anything,

but is there any way
that we could shoot here?

I don't think my mom
would let Rahim leave, even if he tried.

I'm sure she'd be thrilled.

-I hope so.
-One thing.

For the guy that saved my movie?
Anything. You name it.

AMAR: Guess who the newest member
of the movie crew is?

What? You're in the movie now?

Well, not really.
But I am the new location owner.

Well, congratulations.

-There is just one condition.
-What's that?

-That he casts you in the lead.
-What?

Don't worry about Kamal Uncle.

I think I have a bit more pull
now that I am the new location owner.

Please tell me you're not doing
what I think you're doing.

-I was just rehearsing.
-The love duet? By yourself?

How long are you going
to keep running away?

How long do I have?

Do you really want to spend the rest
of your life doing half the dance?

What am I supposed to do?
I act like a total fool in front of her.

It doesn't matter. None of this matters.

Look, if you really care about her,

you have to be willing
to take the chance.

No more dancing in archways
or hiding behind fake doors.

None of that.

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

(CALL DISCONNECTS)

You give pretty good advice.
Ever take it yourself?

Wait. What is that?

-See, I told you.
-Wow, you were right. This is amazing.

(SIGHS)

I thought they said
they were going to play fair.

Who, Chanel and Vik?
They're a couple, aren't they?

-They are?
-Well, everyone kind of thinks they are.

Why wouldn't she tell me?

Maybe she didn't want you to know

so that if she gets the part,
you would think it was fair.

So, think this would be a good place
for the wedding scene?

Totally. This is incredibly romantic.

(CHUCKLING) Don't even get
any ideas.

The girls and I already talked about it.
No unfair advantages.

Okay.

So, is Amar going
to let you shoot here?

-Yeah. He said I could.
-Hot.

But only if I cast Aqua as the lead.

Don't worry.
I told him it wasn't up to me.

(SCOFFS)

But we promised each other.

Seems like you're the only one
keeping that promise.

The other Cheetahs,

they're not letting anything stand
in their way.

Look, I gotta turn in.

I have to meet Rahim and Dorinda
for dance rehearsal tomorrow morning.

Dorinda? Why is she rehearsing
with Rahim?

He's helping her get ready
for the audition.

What?

I keep telling you,
you're the only one who's playing fair.

Catch you later. Okay?

So what can I do
to be more comfortable around Gita?

You gotta tell her how you feel.

But rehearsing with her
would be a start.

I can't.

They look good together.
We should choose the dancer.

But, Uncle, you've really got to listen
to Chanel sing.

I truly believe that she's the one.

(CIRCLE GAME PLAYING)

(SINGING) It's a circle game
I don't wanna play

I think I'm over it

And then I hear your name
And I get lost in the sound

RAHIM: Okay.

And I can't find my way out

-It's a circle game
-It's a circle game

-Nothing's gonna change
-Nothing's gonna change

The better half of me
is telling me to lose your name

And I get lost in the sound

And I can't find my way out

-What is that?
-My string.

-From the wishing tree?
-Mmm-hmm.

But our wish hasn't even come true yet.

-Mine did.
-No, the... Wait.

I wished for the Cheetah Girls
to become the biggest movie stars.

What did you wish for?

I wished for the Cheetahs
to stay the same,

the way we've always been.

Thanks for canceling out my wish.

Sorry, I didn't want our group
to break up.

Well, that still leaves Aqua.

I wished that I would meet Kevin 347
in person.

Nice.

Did you also wish for your boyfriend
to buy your way into the movie?

-What? I would never!
-Yeah. Spare us.

Like you're any better?

I couldn't pry you off of Rahim
with a crowbar.

Really? Coming from the girl

who wouldn't bat an eyelash
at our director?

-I didn't have to.
-Yeah, all right.

Whatever.

Excuse me, ladies. Who is first?

(SINGING) I'm the one

Oh, yeah

Come on

Nobody can sing like me

I can hit any note you give for me

From A to Z
Yes, I can

Nobody can dance like me

I can move to the beat you're playing

Baby, with my feet
Yeah, yeah

Nobody can act like me

I can fall to pieces
and make you believe

In almost anything

I'm the one

I'm stepping out
and breaking all the rules

All alone

I'm gonna show everybody
what I can do

I'm the one

Put your bet on me

Can't you see that I'm the one?

Don't need anybody now
I'm making it on my own

Got a voice like an angel

She can turn every word
into a lovely melody

Yes, she can

The girl's got her own groove

Put the music on and watch her
as she does her thing

She can do everything

My girl is a drama queen

Any role you give her,
she does perfectly

Oh, can't you see that

She's the one?

She's stepping out
and breaking all the rules

All alone

She's gonna show everybody
what she can do

She's the one

Put your bet on her

Can't you see that she's the one?

She don't need anybody now
She's making it on her own

I wanna be the one
who everybody notices

I'm stepping out, stepping out, all right

I wanna be the one
who's always front and center

For the first time in my life

I'm the one

I'm stepping out
and breaking all the rules

All alone

I'm gonna show everybody
what I can do

I'm the one

Put your bet on me

Can't you see that I'm the one?

Don't need anybody now
I'm making it on my own

I'm the one

I'm stepping out
and breaking all the rules

All alone

I'm gonna show everybody
what I can do

I'm the one

Put your bet on me

Can't you see that I'm the one?

Don't need anybody now
I'm making it on my own

I'm the one

(CLAPPING)

Wonderful, wonderful. Wonderful.

Now, I can see why you wanted
to choose all three. Wonderful.

But we still cannot afford it.

So role goes to...

-Chanel.
-Yes, girls. Yes.

Big surprise.

Yeah, congratulations.
Fair and square, right?

Thank you, Uncle-ji.

Congratulations, Chanel.

Thanks.

(SINGING) I could be recognized
from a distance

Yeah, I could be the biggest name
on the screen

Singing and dancing forever

Signing my name for whoever

Yeah, it's all in my reach, yeah

If I give it all that I've got

I get there to the top

But I don't even wanna go

If I have to go there alone, so

Set me on top of that mountain

Let me fly to the end
of the world

Yeah, I can go anywhere

But if you're not with me there

It'll never be enough

There's no place like us

There's no place like us

If I find the other side of the rainbow

Will I find that the gold
ain't worth any price?

'Cause if we ain't there for each other

Then all I got doesn't matter

No, it won't be right to

Give it all that I got

And get there to the top

If you're not up there with me

There's nothing I wanna see, so

Set me on top of that mountain

Let me fly to the end
of the world, yeah

I can go anywhere

But if you're not with me there

It'll never be enough

There's no place like us

There's no place like us

It doesn't matter where we are

Or matter how far

'Cause even when we go
our separate ways

We'll be the place

I believe that I can do it

But alone, I won't get through it

We know we gotta stick together

'Cause no matter what

There's no place like us

You were great.

I'm sorry about what I said.
I didn't mean any of it.

Me, too. You sang your heart out.

Thanks. We were all great.

Look, it doesn't matter what happens,
where we go or what we do.

Change is inevitable,
but we'll always be Cheetahs.

Cheetahs, say it like you mean it.

-Together.
-Now.

-And forever.
-And forever.

We're going to miss you so much.

You're not going to miss me that much.

-What?
-Why not?

I'm not going to take the part.

Look, it just isn't worth losing you guys
as friends.

(ALL GIGGLING)

So you're all bowing out?

Look, starring in a movie just isn't
worth destroying our friendship.

Well, I better start writing.

I have no idea
how I'm going to write a love story

without a love interest.

I think it's time you stand up
to your uncle,

and make the movie you want to make.

And if you can't, then maybe this isn't
the movie you should be making.

Yeah, Chanel,
but what if this is my only chance?

It's not your chance
if it's not the movie you want to make.

Don't give up on your dream.

If you can't be
my leading lady on screen,

maybe you'd consider
playing the role in real life?

Too bad we're not at the Taj Mahal.

-That can be arranged.
-Yeah?

I think so.

Sorry for the mess.

I was just trying to take your advice
and make things happen.

I meant for you to follow your dreams,
not try to buy me mine.

But I think you're cute for trying.

One question.

Would applying to Columbia
count as following my dream?

Because I talked to my parents,

and they don't think
it's such a bad idea.

Yes.

-Ready?
-No. I'm scared.

What if she doesn't like me back?

Sometimes you just got to
put yourself out there

and not worry about what happens.

Come on, you can do it.

Gita?

Oops!

Just ignore that.

You were saying?

Do you want to have dinner
with these flowers?

I mean, do your flowers
want to have dinner with me?

(LAUGHING)

(RAHIM SNORTS)

Yeah, I would love to have dinner
with your flowers.

-You would?
-Yeah.

And by the way,
I love the way you laugh.

GITA: Thank you. I love them.

-RAHIM: You like the flowers?
-Yeah, I do.

They're red. They match your dress.
It's beautiful.

(GITA GIGGLING)

GITA: Thanks so much. I love them.
They smell so good.

-RAHIM: You look so beautiful.
-Thanks, Rahim.

I picked these flowers out
especially for you.

-I knew you would like them.
-Joaquin?

I'm sorry I've been avoiding your calls.

We're in India,
which is kind of a crazy story, but...

Anyway, I've been doing
a lot of thinking,

and I realize that
just because we're not going out,

doesn't mean we can't be friends.

And I miss you.

Call me when you can,
I promise I'll pick up.

Thanks for helping me realize
I was the obstacle all along.

Hey, look what I got for Vik.

It's the original poster
to Namaste Bombay.

(EXCLAIMING)

Guys, I feel so bad for him.

Who's going to be the star
of his movie now?

Cheetahs? Look.

Where is this Raju?
Why he is not here?

Send him. Goodbye.

Why you are not filling out
application form for dental school?

We found the perfect lead
for the movie.

Me, too. Rahim in a wig is wonderful.

No, Uncle. It's Gita.

What you talking?

No one wants to see choreographer
on the screen.

That's why they are always
behind the scenes.

She's a star. And I'm going to prove it.

This is my movie.
And this is my one chance.

-So I have to do what I believe in.
-And?

And make a great movie.

Now you're talking like real director.

Thank you. Thank you so much.
I promise I won't let you down.

Let's see what you got. Come on!

-VIKRAM: Let's make a movie!
-Let's get you Cheetah-fied!

(ALL LAUGHING)

Silence, please.
We are going for a take.

Namaste Bombay, BBS, One World.

-Mark it!
-Playback!

(SINGING) Hey

Yeah

Love always finds a way

Every single time

Once we learn to trust our hearts

And look inside, it feels right

Now we see who we are

In a different light

We're not so far apart

Anything is possible

With all the differences,
we're stronger here

Now the truth has been discovered
Oh, yeah

After all we've been through,
now it's clear

That all of us, we share

-One world
-One world

-One love
-One love

-One and all
-One and all

We're a circle together

-One world
-One world

-One heart
-One heart

-One song
-One song

Now and forever

Everybody celebrate

Bring on the party, bring on the dance

Time to let the music play

The party never ends

Every guy and every girl

Stand up and shout, say it loud

Everyone around the world

-Come on and join in
-Yeah

We're gathered here today

-Everything just right
-Yeah

'Cause when you give from the heart

The things you do come back to you

Dare to be strong and brave

Not afraid to try

That's when we see who we are

The best of friends and that's when

With all the differences,
we're stronger here

Now the truth has been discovered
Oh, yeah

After all we've been through,
now it's clear

We're all right here to share

-One world
-World

-One love
-One love

-One and all
-One and all

We're a circle together

-One world
-One world

-One heart
-One heart

-One song
-One song, yeah

Now and forever

Oh, I never knew that love
would find a way

To bring together both of us

Now, inside, I know it's true

'Cause what we have is meant to be

You let me be the real me

Together here is where we belong

Hey!

Come on, now

Here we go!

Here we go!

Let's celebrate!

(RHYTHMIC CLAPPING)

One world

One love

One and all

-We're a circle together
-We're a circle together

-One world
-One world

-One heart
-One heart

-One song
-Song, yeah

Now and forever

-One world
-One world

-One love
-One love

-One and all
-One and all

We're a circle together

-One world
-One world

-One heart
-One heart

-One song
-One song

Now and forever

We're a circle together

Now and forever

One world

(ALL CHEERING)

(DANCE ME IF YOU CAN PLAYING)

(SINGING) I know you think
that you're in control

But watch and learn
'cause this is how we roll

Work it just like this
Let's see you try and do that

What's the matter
can't you figure it out?

'Cause you look confused
mixed up, no doubt

There's really no chance
That you can do our dance

Can't keep up, can't keep up, no

Try to keep up, try to keep up, yeah

Can't keep up, can't keep up, no

-Come on, come on
-Yeah, yeah

Show me what you got

Try to follow, watch me now

If you think that you know how,
then dance me

Dance me if you can

-Make it look easy, that's the way
-That's the way

If you think you got what it takes,
then dance me

-Dance me if you can
-Dance me if you can
