[phone dings]

What will our relatives think if they find out about this?

Tch…

Mom, she's not a random girl. She's our Tara.

What the relatives think doesn't matter to me at all.

But we care about what they think.

An unmarried boy and girl living together in the same house. How is that possible?

Nowadays, people hire detectives to check on prospective grooms.

If people find out about this, no girl will marry you.

Oh, you idiot, you fool, you've gone and kissed him.

[sighs]

What am I gonna do now?

[Arun clears throat]

Hi, Uncle. Hi, Auntie. When did you get here? How are you?

We are fine.

How are you, Tara?

All good, all good.

-We had come to the treasury office. -[Tara] Uh-huh.

We have to come there at least once a year

and show them we're alive, or we won't get our pension.

So we thought we'd just drop in and say hello to him.

Mom, your rickshaw is here. Let's go. Dad, let's go. Come on.

-[mother sighs] -[father grunts]

All right, see you then.

So you're the reason he keeps rejecting all the other girls we suggest.

Oh no, no, Auntie, not at all. We're just friends. Nothing beyond that.

I'm only crashing here for a few days. That's all.

We've been trying for four years.

We're quite fed up.

Try and talk some sense into him.

Don't you have to find a groom for yourself?

Or have you found one?

No, not yet, Auntie.

I hope you find someone soon.

Oh! So the two of you were discussing work on the beach, right?

Listen, you can't fool us, okay?

Okay, I… and…

Last night we…

[sighs] Um…

On Pondy Beach, Matthew and I went for a walk.

Went for a walk?

We kissed.

[gasps, chuckles]

It was a mistake.

If the feeling was mutual and you both kissed,

how is that a mistake?

So the challenge wasn't to make him a life partner,

just to make him my business partner, right?

What was I thinking?

Mm-hmm.

[chuckles]

And not just that. I did another stupid thing.

[humming]

[continues humming]

Hey! So, you found my place.

Have you been stalking me?

I didn't think our date would happen this soon.

-I can leave. -No, no, please stay.

Can't get better than this, right?

Lonely beach, romantic getaway.

Are you always like this?

Like what?

Cool, charming…

[sniffs] Seductive?

-[Harish laughs] -Delulu!

Delulu is the only solulu, madam.

[chuckles] Okay, I'll play your song. Wanna hear it?

Mm-hmm.

[playing guitar]

[vocalizing]

[Tara] Sorry, the other day, when you showed up for the date,

what were you expecting?

Wanted to make a friend, obviously.

No strings attached.

That's such a big joke. This "No strings attached."

It's all hunky dory at first, but eventually,

unnecessarily…

Unnecessarily? Could you please elaborate?

Unnecessarily all the…

All that…

emotional turmoil, attachment, confusion.

Okay, listen.

You don't know me.

My strings are only attached to my guitar.

-God! What a line! -[laughs]

[sighs]

[Harish humming]

I'm sorry. I…

[Harish] Hey!

Sorry, I've had a very confusing day.

Hey, Tara. Tara, wait!

[Tara] God, I'm so stupid!

What?

[laughs]

[Tara] Stop.

-[Arun clears throat] -[Tara] Don't laugh.

-[laughs] -No matter where she goes,

-she brings home a bag full of drama. -Yeah.

Doesn't she?

-[phone dings] -How?

[phones ding]

[Tara] Over a thousand bad ratings.

More than half of them haven't even created a profile on our app.

Then we should get rid of the fake ratings.

It's not that easy.

We need to flag it, report it,

and then review it. It's a headache.

Arun?

Ratings are dropping as we speak. By point one every second.

Uh, yeah. All these are from actual users.

On the App Store, Found has fallen from fourth place to eighth.

Something is definitely wrong, and we need to fix it.

Boss, don't you think what you're doing is unethical?

Unethical?

This is business, Kowshik.

Good morning, guys.

This is a social experiment.

I can't divulge any more right now.

Once you sign an NDA, I'll give you all the details.

But it will give you quick money.

I'm taking you down, Tara.

She'll take money from our Matthew,

and we should just stand on the sidelines cheering for her.

We'll break them first

and then make them crawl towards us.

-We won't stop until that happens. -Yes, sir.

Let's write stories on all our successful couples.

Post them with a hashtag, "Found for Love."

Use their quotes as captions.

Okay. Got it.

Yeah. Um, I can also talk to the influencers who we can afford.

We can't afford any influencers.

If they do it for free, it's okay.

Or how about we do a limited-time deal?

Like, on subscription?

Yeah. Like, maybe a three-month subscription at 75% off?

We might get more visibility. Hopefully, more users and ratings as well.

Yeah. That works. Good idea.

Let's get to work. I need all hands on deck. Thank you.

[phone dings]

[Kishore] See you. Okay.

Hi.

-Hey! Arun Kumar! Happy Pride! -Happy Pride.

Want some face paint?

A little bit.

Give me your hand.

Hmm. The girl you saw,

she just went through a bad breakup.

So, to leave behind her pain from the past she told me she's planning to adopt a dog.

-So from one dumped person to another one. -[chuckles]

Poor Romeo!

Um, how is Find My Bae working out for you?

Um, work-wise or personal dating life-wise.

Haven't had any luck on either of them.

[both laugh]

Can I find you on that Found app?

What?

Uh… Haven't finished my profile yet.

Arun, I really think you should join Find My Bae.

We've also introduced a new LGBTQ feature, by the way.

If Tara finds out, she'll kill me.

It's just an internal beta version.

I can send you a link.

Give it a try,

and let me know what you think about it.

Cool?

Here.

Cute.

[Matthew] Hi.

How are you?

Good.

How are you? You're looking good.

Thanks.

So, uh…

that night, it was--

A mistake?

It shouldn't have happened.

Yeah.

Yeah. I was about to say the same.

It shouldn't have… happened.

Let's forget it.

Yeah.

Coming back to the challenge.

Yeah.

The challenge.

We're already halfway through.

But now, I was thinking for a change,

I myself will find you a profile.

Hmm. Mrithula.

You've already met her, right?

Shiv Raj's daughter.

Both your families have a lot in common.

I think you two would be a perfect match for each other.

You really need this investment, don't you?

It's not just that.

You deserve true love, Matthew.

Oh really? [chuckles]

Mm-hmm. You do.

Everyone does.

So do you, right?

Trust me, she'll be perfect for you.

[gasps] Shit.

[phone dings]

Thank you.

-Honestly, I didn't think you'd show up. -Hmm.

To be honest with you, I didn't expect to either.

But then, my laptop needed to dry,

I needed to get out of the office, and this ice cream looked good.

Mm.

-Cheers! -[chuckles] Cheers.

-Harish? -Hmm?

I'm not who you are looking for.

I just came here to tell you that.

Who am I looking for?

You said it the other day.

"No strings attached."

That night was quite something.

It was nice.

How can we not talk about it?

Let's call it what it was. It was just a kiss.

And nothing more than that.

All right. Moving on.

But honestly speaking,

your loss.

[chuckles]

[phone dings]

[sighs]

-You know what's happening at work? -Hmm?

App crashes, funding issues, negative reviews.

Anything that could go wrong has gone wrong.

You know, the harder you try, the worse it gets.

But it shouldn't, though.

You know my friends and I, we have a band, and…

-Hmm. -…we regularly jam at this terrace.

Hmm?

There's good food, great music, and amazing company.

It'll also be a change of space for you.

You really don't have any stress in your life, right?

Some guys are lucky.

So after everything that happened in Pondy,

Tara has still set up a date for you?

Hmm.

Tch. Something doesn't feel right.

And is what you are doing right?

Shit!

What if Dad and Lilly hear about Sunny? What will they say?

Aw. At least I'm solid about how I feel, dude.

You're the one who's confused.

I don't know what you're doing.

And yes!

I got you! I got you!

Hey, no. Not fair.

I want a rematch. I was distracted.

Yeah, you are always distracted.

Goes and kisses a girl,

and then the same girl sets him up for a date with another girl.

You're really confused, bro.

Mmm, nice.

I'm glad we're doing this instead of the usual coffee shop date.

-You look amazing, by the way. -Thank you!

Interesting, isn't it? An AI bot choosing our date?

But a human touch is still missing.

-And I think love is human. -Right?

Finally, someone who agrees with me.

[Mrithula] We clearly have a lot of similarities between us,

even without Sam pointing them out.

Starting with our rich dads. [chuckles]

I'm sure yours is not as judgmental as mine.

Oh, no, no, no! He is.

-[both chuckle] -Just a little bit.

And you're an adventure freak?

You know I was a swimmer once?

Once?

You don't swim anymore?

It's a long story.

I quit after I met with an accident.

It's not an ideal story for a first date. Trust me.

Actually, I too had met with an accident.

[laughs] I saw that.

[sighs]

-It was Matthew. -Hmm.

Five missed calls from him.

But now when I call back, he is not responding.

[groans]

He could be with Mrithula right now. Hmm?

If things work out between them, we win the challenge.

-Tara. -Hmm?

If I ask you a question, will you give me an honest answer?

[chuckles]

Um, do you like spending time with Matthew?

[Tara] Hmm?

Hmm.

Mmm. Do you find Matthew attractive?

Hmm.

Okay. Um.

Do you think you can share everything with him?

Can you sit with him for half an hour without speaking to him?

What exactly are you trying to say?

Why the hell are you and Matthew not in a relationship?

Happiness is knocking at your door, and you're turning it away on purpose.

People like you don't deserve coffee.

[phone dings]

-[iron sizzles] -[gasps]

[sighs]

[phone dings]

[phone ringing]

[Kishore] Hi, do you like the new update?

It's a little over the top,

but okay.

Hey, wait! Did you just swipe right on me?

[chuckles]

Yeah.

[dance music playing]

-What's up, boys? -Hey, Matty.

-Thank you. -Happiest birthday!

Come on, come on, come on. One more sip. One more sip.

Why aren't you drinking? Hey!

Let's go!

-Hey, dude! Where is Matthew? -What? Over there. Over there.

Have you seen Tara?

Not yet.

Ah, Tara and Harish.

I've seen them together once.

I thought I'd ask you about it.

Who?

Harish? Our guitarist?

Bah!

Not possible.

Is he a mistake from Pondy?

-Don't say anything. -What?

Hi!

-Hello! Hi! -Hi! Hi! Hi!

-How are you? -I'm good. How are you?

I'm good.

Looking good.

You too.

-Very nice. -Thank you.

-Um, Arun. Harish. -Hi! Ah, Arun.

-Hi! -Sorry.

-Ah, ah, sorry. Hi, Syl. -Yeah, sure.

-Where are you? -Later.

-I'll just… -Cheers!

Chill, chill. Take care.

Okay.

-Um, sorry. Syl just called me. -Hmm?

Her uncle had to be rushed to the hospital urgently.

And she has to be there. So, she is not coming.

Oh, God.

Seriously, man, I have no idea why I came here.

Hey, relax. You are here. That's what matters.

[chuckles]

[sighs] So, what would you like to have?

Hmm, excuse me.

Doesn't matter.

That's nice.

Ah. Hey!

Hi!

-You spilled booze all over your pants. -What? No way.

Happy birthday!

-Thank you. -Hi. Happy birthday!

Thanks, man!

-Happy birthday, Matthew! -Thank you.

-See you around. -Yeah.

Listen. I got something for you.

-Happy birthday. -I need to talk to you.

-We'll just be a minute. -Matthew?

What?

Firstly, you look stunning!

[chuckles]

[Matthew] I just can't forget what happened in Pondicherry.

It didn't feel like a mistake.

Evening by the sea, it just felt right, Tara.

Matthew, we are not compatible.

Give me your phone. Hmm?

-What? -Give it to me.

Why?

-Okay. -Sam, can you do me a favour?

[AI Sam] Voice unauthorized.

Activate temporary authorization.

-Temporary? -Hmm.

All right. Sam, check chemistry between Tara Krishnan and Matthew Jebaraj.

[AI Sam] Sorry. I'm not programmed to calculate chemistry.

Exactly!

No matter how much you upgrade Sam,

if you look for love in here instead of in there, only then you'll find it.

You can't catch lightning in a bottle. Right?

-[chuckles] -Right?

You shouldn't trust that feeling. Like a bolt of lightning, it'll disappear.

You won't find out unless you give me a chance.

Matthew.

I know exactly what's gonna happen between us.

Everything will be amazing at first, there will be chemistry,

there will be a spark, all good.

But as time goes by, that spark will fizzle out.

Mm-hmm.

[Tara] Doing something every day just to feel excited,

that's not love, Matthew.

Love is choosing someone every single day,

even if you're stuck in a mundane routine, even if you get bored of them.

You have to tell them, "You're the one I want. You make me happy."

That's love for me.

Will you ever be able to do--

Let's take a leap of faith, Tara.

It'll work out.

We will work out.

I can't take a leap of faith.

[Mia] Whoa, whoa, whoa! Take it slow.

The night's still young.

Don't pass out before 12.

[chuckles]

Mia…

do you really think I'm an old man like that boyfriend of yours?

I can handle my booze.

I can take care of myself.

Maybe you can tell him to slow down.

Matthew, you are drunk. Just stop.

Just take it easy, okay?

Sunny, my man, what is wrong with you?

When I look at you, you look like her uncle.

Why the hell are you all with the wrong people? [groans]

Matthew.

Matthew, just stop it!

Dude!

Apologize to him!

Go and say sorry to him right away.

Sunny.

-Sunny, please wait. -Mia.

[waiter] Ma'am, your drink.

Tara! Tara! Tara!

How sad you couldn't retain talents like Rohit and Priya. Poor you.

Chakri, I didn't expect you to stoop to this level.

You are pathetic.

Please just go.

Yeah, fine. I may be pathetic.

But what about you?

Trying to trap Matthew for the sake of his money.

What do we call that?

[scoffs] Are you afraid?

Hmm?

Afraid that Found will become more popular than Find My Bae?

I always knew you didn't have any real talent to show.

You have to keep licking Matthew's boots all your life. That's your fear.

You are afraid to compete face to face.

Maybe that's why you always keep attacking people from behind.

Bloody coward.

I am not a coward. Hello! Hello, madam.

Who's afraid? Let them come. Let them show me their faces.

[scoffs] Hey.

Ladies and gentlemen!

Madam Tara here says I don't know how to fight face to face.

And I can only attack from behind.

Shall I prove you wrong? Face to face?

Who's this bloody joker?

Chakri.

You talk so much about gender equality. Why don't you come?

-Bro, hold this. -Harish! Listen, don't.

Look who is here. Look who has come.

Here. Come, come, sir. Come, please.

-Pass me the thing. -Ladies and gents.

Let's see our swimming pool transform into a fight club arena.

What do you say? Make some noise!

[people whistling]

[grunts]

-Hey. Wait! -Making fun of a girl? How dare you?

Hey. Stop. Stop.

Ooh! No!

Ooh!

Whoever beats him gets a 20% salary raise.

Matthew, what do you think you are doing?

Why are you creating a scene in front of all your guests?

[groans] I couldn't see you with him.

Who the hell is he?

-Why are you even with him? -That's none of your business.

Your ego is bigger than the mountains I climb.

It's not letting you accept the fact that you like me.

My ego is nothing compared to your ego

because you can't accept the fact that I said no.

And I'm not some adventure. I'm not something you need to conquer.

-[scoffs] -Go!

Go chill with that loser.

Matthew.

You remember the night we kissed?

I'd like you to know that I spent the whole night with that loser.

Yeah. Yeah. I'll call you back later.

Are you happy now? Everyone's feeling very awkward.

And I think Harish even got hurt because of that fall.

I have to go see him now.

Jay! Jay, you cannot jump. Jay, you cannot jump from there!

Matthew has changed a lot after he has met Tara.

We may have to talk to his dad again like

we spoke to him in the lobby for the Maverick Awards.

What the hell are you doing?

I was just messing around, dude.

He looks pissed off. Is everything okay?

Did you say something?

What the hell did you say to Chakri about Tara and me?

Calm down, Matthew. I'll tell you.

Go ahead. Speak up, bitch.

Hey, Matty! Everyone's watching. Don't create a scene, please.

You guys cheated for that award.

Did you and Jay ask Dad for it?

Jay.

You too, huh?

You don't give a shit about me. Whatever Chakri says, you do.

And I thought both of you were my friends!

Have you lost it, Matty? Huh?

You think Chakri is more important to us than you?

-We did this for the sake of the company. -Leave.

Matty, let's talk about it.

Get out! Now! Both of you.

Get out!

Let's go, man. No point.

Party's over, guys. Leave!

Thank you for coming!

Thank you. Thank you for coming. Thank you.

Happy birthday to me! Yes, thank you.

Hey, what the hell happened here?

Hmm?

Mrithula!

Hi.

How are you?

I'm good.

I could say happy birthday and leave,

or I could stay for some cake and whiskey.

[Matthew] Mmm.

Thank you.

It's 12.

Happy birthday, Mr. Matthew!

I hope you conquer the mountain

without falling again.

[both laugh]

No more falling this time.

Wait. Let me fix you that whiskey.

Are you sure you're in a condition to do that?

[groans]
