She cheated, I swear.

I'm sure, Mike. - You better eat up your curry, Myra.

You too, fish head.

[Chuckles]

Nervous?

Well, 13 years ago I was standing exactly where you guys are.

Rice and lentil curry. That's all I knew.

British cuisine was not easy for me.

But you know what helped?

This.

The fire.

It's the soul of your food and the spirit of your heart.

So, are you guys ready? - Yes, chef!

Well, let's go then.

[Door opens and closes]

What have you done now?

I had to leave work halfway.

Just chill, mum! Relax!

Really?

Let's go. "Relax"!

I'm worried for you, Miss D*** S***.

Sir, it's Dixit.

[Laughs] - Oh, well.

Sorry sir, what did she do?

She missed her lessons and raced outside the school.

She is a bright student.

But she doesn't follow the rules. This is ridiculous.

I'm sorry, sir. This won't happen again.

Have a word with your daughter.

Otherwise you are going to have to find another school.

Sorry, sir.

Sorry, I promise. We won't let this happen again.

Thank you for your time.

[Bell rings]

What, mum!

Myra, schools have rules that you must follow.

You cannot behave as you please.

Oh really!

Then what was that, huh?

"Myra, let your mind wander. Just be free!"

You have been telling me this since I was little.

Why the sudden 360-degree switch?

Where is the freedom of my mind? - You can have it after school hours.

There should be a balance in life. That's all!

Oh really?

No, mum. Listen, I want to be like water.

Completely free.

Is it? Then be a river.

Not a sea which is stuck in a storm. Right?

Boyfriend?

No, mum. Eew!

It's ok! - Stop it, no mum!

[Music]

"Simple little moments becomes so special"

"These moments bring grin on face and feels magical"

"when you are around"

"When you are around"

"You are the thrill of my life"

"Though hot but you chill my life"

"Though you are my family you give a feel of friendship"

"Everything feels vibrant and lively with you around"

"World feels alright with you around"

"Everything feels well with you around"

"I feel alright with you around"

"Everything is wonderful with your around"

"You are my only Best Friend and life line"

"You are my job full-time"

"You are my search engine, my GPS"

"Though cool like me but still you are craziest"

"When it gets dark, when thoughts clouds in the heart"

"why it freezes with worries for you?"

"I look for you when you are around"

"With you around"

"World feels alright with you around"

"Everything feels well with you around"

"I feel alright with you around"

"Everything is wonderful with your around"

Close the door.

Now, go change quickly. Hmm...

And then immediately sit for your homework, ok?

[Gasps] - Mum! I...

Wow! - Grandma!

Surprise! - Hi!

Oh my god! - This is crazy!

Grandma!

You should have told me. I would have come to pick you up.

We didn't want it to be hectic for you.

What did you get for me? Show me! - Take a look.

Myra, please. - First go wash your hands.

Why are you telling her off? It's fine.

She's just a child! - Not at all!

Tell them about your antics in school.

What happened? - Don't exaggerate.

I won the race!

Wow, that's amazing! - Wow!

Did your school organise the race?

No, your dear granddaughter bunked class to organise it.

Oh my god...

But you won the race, right? First class!

When I was in school, I used to bunk classes too.

And race towards the forest to pick and eat plums.

Plums? - Come with me.

Please don't encourage her with these stories.

I will see what to do.

Come!

Let's eat these laddoos. - Bye!

Bye!

Show me, what did you get?

This time, I even got jackfruit for Myra.

Wow! - I know right!

Wow! Today's menu is all your favourites, Myra!

Lucky you!

Wow!

Here you go. - I'm so hungry.

Of course, she is my darling granddaughter!

Grandma!

The jackfruit curry is too good. I love it!

She loves it only when you make it.

But you don't get good jackfruit here.

That adds to the flavour really.

Grandpa, you are only staying for five days?

You must stay longer.

Just wait for a bit.

Once I retire next year, I am free!

And we will be back for your birthday.

Better still, take her with us to India.

What difference will it make by setting up a Maharashtrian-cuisine restaurant here?

Instead if you come to India as a chef returning from the UK...

You will get so much attention.

But, dad, I'm not doing this for attention.

This is my dream.

And shifting your base is not so easy.

I have a life here.

The thing is, Sharvari... [Clears throat]

People think of Chicken Tikka when they hear about Indian cuisine.

Who is going to ask about your Puran Poli?

Exactly my point.

That's exactly what I want to change!

Indian cuisine doesn't only mean North Indian food.

We have dumplings, indigenous vegetables, fish curries...

There are so many things to experiment with.

Once people are introduced to these flavours. They will go crazy.

I don't agree.

You will go crazy in the process.

She always sets unrealistic expectations.

Calm down.

It was the same thing last time around.

Didn't listen to us, came here. Got married, and look what happened.

Why are you bringing up things from the past?

I'm not bringing up the past.

Is divorce that easy?

We had warned you to not marry that person.

But you didn't listen to us.

You did what you wanted to.

It's the same thing again.

A restaurant with Maharashtrian cuisine.

Who will give you funding for it? Tell me!

Who will care about your Puran Poli?

It's not possible to change the face of Indian cuisine in a day.

It's not that easy.

Grandpa...

Just wait and watch.

See how mum's Puran Poli replaces Chicken Tikka.

She will change the entire fate of Maharashtrian cuisine in the UK.

And no matter the struggle. She will fight back.

Just like a superhero.

Myra...

Enough with the phone now. It's sleeping time.

Come on. - Hmm...

Mum? - Hmm?

Where am I from?

London. Why?

Is my accent off?

What happened?

Did someone say something to you?

Do you remember Meghan from school? - Hmm...

She asked me today...

"Where are you from?"

Then she looked at me weirdly... And asked again.

"No no, where are you really from? You sound off. "

I was so angry.

What did you say to her?

I told her to get lost!

What? - Yes!

She doesn't think that I'm British.

And my cousins from Mumbai joke about my Marathi.

I don't know where I come from.

You belong where your heart is, Myra.

The world is your oyster.

Be like water, remember?

And what about my accent? - My accent is off too.

Mum, you don't need to... - No, seriously.

I mean, listen Myra...

It's better to have an off accent than being an off person.

Hmm?

This is Usain Bolt, right?

And what's her name?

Mum, it's Allyson -

Yes, it's Allyson Felix.

They are your idols, right?

If they had concentrated on their accent instead of their running...

Would they have become great runners?

No...

So just be you.

Ok?

Where is your home, mum?

Here.

You are my home, Myra.

I love you, mum.

I love you too!

So, here we are.

Where all the magic takes place.

Well, I would call it hard work.

Magic is just a result of all our efforts.

This is one of the most popular restaurants in London and yet...

It is very famous for its authentic British food.

Thank you.

But as a female head chef, what do you think about this?

"Female" head chef?

It must be hard for a female head chef...

To handle all this work.

Perhaps your beauty makes things easier?

You tell me.

You're a male journalist whose talent is just being a man.

So, how do you do this?

Do what?

Think with your brains down there.

Excuse me? - Out!

Female head chef, my foot!

Chef?

What?

Table no. 8 has a complaint.

He says he's not happy with what he got.

Hello.

Excuse me, sir.

Is there a problem?

Yes, I'm not happy.

Sorry, what's the problem?

My problem is that you did not stay in touch.

Sorry? - Correct.

You should be saying sorry, duffer!

Oh my god!

Sorry!

Oh my god! I can't believe this.

Vaibhav, what are you doing here?

I was in Scotland for two years.

My company has transferred me to London.

As a regional head.

Wow, that's so nice.

I'm so happy to see you here!

Really?

Really!

When does your shift get over?

In an hour.

I will see you then.

Are you sure? - Of course.

I will have some dessert till then.

Can I have the Chef's special please?

Sure.

Right away, sir!

Please sit.

So...

You finally made it.

Not yet.

I want to open my own Maharashtrian cuisine restaurant.

Then I'll make it.

And after that you would want something more.

And still you will feel you haven't made it.

Ya, I guess.

I mean...

Your wishlist never gets fulfilled.

Mine did.

When?

Just now.

But seriously... It feels like ages.

It's been 20 years!

But even if it's been 20 years...

I still have dreams where I'm missing my school bus.

And I wake up scared to check the time!

But you always missed your school bus.

And your grandmother would run after you with your lunchbox.

You would make us wait for so long.

And what about you?

You have been missing since you came here.

I went missing looking for myself.

But you don't lose touch with your friends!

I was a mess, Vaibhav.

I came to the UK to study.

Everything was perfect.

A new place, new friends, my career.

I had a different kind of freedom.

I met Vishal in University.

He was just like me. Passionate and career-driven.

Everything happened so quickly.

I didn't think much before accepting his proposal.

I was on a high.

In just 3 months of being married...

It all went down.

He would lose control when he was angry.

He wouldn't hesitate to raise his hand.

But I was expecting Myra.

That's when I decided that I had enough.

That I won't tolerate this further.

The thing is...

If a man wants a divorce, it's the woman's fault.

If a woman wants a divorce...

It's still her fault.

I didn't have the strength to face people.

So, I had to disappear to find myself.

I'm...

I'm really very sorry.

Don't be. I am very happy.

With my dreams and my daughter... My life is absolutely great!

How old is she? - She is thirteen.

Her name is Myra. This is her.

She wants to become an athlete. She loves running.

I want to meet her.

Really? - Of course.

I must warn you. She is a brat.

So, she's just like you. - Please, stop it!

Myra! - I'm getting late!

But... - I wish your parents were here to save me.

They have gone back home. They won't be coming to save you, ok?

Now, drink this milk.

How can I drink milk right before I go for a run?

Then eat something, wait for a bit and then go.

Mum, just...

I'm leaving. - Myra!

Myra, stop. - Mum, what are you doing!

Myra, hang on!

Hi!

Boyfriend?

Myra, stop it. - [Chuckles]

Listen. - Myra, wait!

Wait, I'm getting you some fruit. - Hi Myra, I'm Vaibhav.

Your mom's friend. - Oh, hi Vabs!

Vabs? - Nice name!

Nice timing!

Will you please finish my milk?

Please? - Milk?

Myra, your milk!

Don't tell me that the other bicycle is for my mum.

Yes, of course.

All the best! Good luck!

Myra, wait for a minute.

Bye, mum! - Myra, finish your fruit at least!

Did you see that? - Who will drink this now?

This is unbelievable! Hey!

[Laughs]

What is this!

"The path I'm treading on... "

"It takes me into the past. "

"The path I'm treading on... "

"It takes me into the past. "

"It takes me back to the taste"

"Of sweet and sour memories. "

"Let's leave behind all our worldly wisdom. "

"Let's relive our childhood!"

"Let's leave behind all our worldly wisdom. "

"Let's relive our childhood!"

[Music]

The rain here is stormy.

Mumbai rains used to feel perfect.

Just the perfect temperature.

Hey, what are you doing? - Making it rain!

Just the perfect temperature.

"The good old days are back. "

"The good times are with me again. "

"The good old days are back. "

"The good times are with me again. "

Hey, hey! - Pass!

See this... - Pass!

[Phone vibrating] - Happy? - Excuse me...

I will be back.

Hello?

I won against your boyfriend.

Myra, stop it okay?

Ok, I'm going for a jog now.

Love you, bye! - Love you!

Bye!

Yes... - Yes, I will get back to you.

Try this. It has hazelnut and nutmeg in it.

I'm not ready for this, Vaibhav.

For coffee?

You know what this is about.

It's ok, Sharvari. - No, it's not, Vaibhav.

I know what you feel.

But it's not just me anymore.

I have some responsibilities. I have a commitment towards my daughter.

And I have given up on love a long time ago.

I have been hurt once.

I don't want to get hurt again.

And the thing is...

More than love, I'm scared of the expectations that come with it.

Hmm...

You know what, Sharvari...

I have seen you at your restaurant before too.

But I didn't have the guts to face you.

And then I thought about Asmita.

She never compromised.

She never gave up.

Who is Asmita?

We were going to get married.

I was doing it to make my parents happy.

She ran away with her boyfriend on the day of our wedding.

She prioritised her love over everybody else.

Everyone was sad to see my wedding being called off.

But I was so happy.

Because she found true love.

Sorry, but I had no clue.

I texted you. I had emailed you as well.

I know, but... - Oh, I know, I know...

You didn't wish to face people and answer their questions...

But I thought we were friends. And friends always understand.

You know what Sharvari... It's easy to compromise.

Being scared is even easier.

But loving someone is the most difficult thing.

And this time, I'm not going anywhere.

Take your time.

One more thing...

If you are still not ready after taking time...

We will still be friends.

Cold coffee... - Hmm?

It will become cold.

[Laughs]

Here's to old duffers!

[Mom] People who love us deeply come by rarely.

But mom, you know that...

I want to focus on my career and Myra, and I-

Sharvari...

Your demand list will never end.

[Mom] And... Our hearts always desire something or the other.

Then why do you wish to remain all alone?

I'm not alone, mom. I have you, Myra -

If you clutch on to motherhood so tightly...

You will never be able to live for yourself.

Beyond me and Myra, you have a life of your own.

If you keep thinking about others first,

you will have to bid goodbye to your own happiness.

And just because you faltered once doesn't mean you will falter again.

I need time.

Take your time.

Take as much time as you need.

But don't shut the doors to your heart like this.

Hmm...

Mmm... perfect!

Thank you, sir.

Have a seat, Sharvari. - Ya.

Sharvari, we must change the strategy of the restaurant.

Ok. - That food critic, Ken?

I don't know what happened between you two.

But he has criticised the quality of our food.

Sir, he was being very disrespectful.

Sexist, and rude! - Sharvari...

I have hired you.

The restaurant should be our priority, right?

I understand, sir.

Buckle up, Sharvari.

It won't take me a lot of time to replace you.

You know how competitive this world is.

I know, sir.

Sir...

Can we experiment with the food a bit? You know -

Sharvari, please!

We have had this discussion so many times.

Look, I want this restaurant to be an authentic British restaurant.

And moreover...

I'm taking a huge risk by having employed an Indian chef.

So, just play the game.

And better play it safe.

Ok, sir.

I won't give you a chance to complain.

That's better.

[Cellphone rings]

Hello? Yes?

What?

Myra, are you ok?

She fainted twice today.

She got her first period.

Oh.

Mum, I don't feel ok.

Can we go home, please? - Ok.

Myra will experience a bit of discomfort.

But I've given her painkillers.

I would still suggest you take her to the gynaecologist.

Sure, thank you so much.

Come.

Careful.

Careful. - Easy there.

Let's go.

Take this.

Are you feeling better?

Rest for a bit.

Mum... - Hmm?

Let me go for tomorrow's practice, ok?

Please, I can't lose this race.

I can play the inter school competition only if I win the selection tournament.

And it's very important to me.

Myra, it's just a matter of one week.

Is the race more important than your health?

No, but why me!

My child...

Periods are very natural.

And resting is the least you can do for your body, right?

No, mum. I can't lose this race.

Myra, is it possible to always win?

No, right?

Give it your best. Don't just think about winning.

Do you want me to lose?

Do you think I won't win this race?

Why would I want you to lose?

I'm just saying you should focus on giving your best.

All I'm saying is there is more to life than winning or losing.

Enjoy the process, and give your best. That's all.

Mum, why don't you get it?

Winning is important for me.

But why are you getting upset? - Mum, please just go.

Don't irritate me.

But...

[Retching]

[Thuds]

Careful...

Lie down.

Don't worry, she will be fine.

Is she ok? - We have run some tests.

She has Endometriosis with Dysmenorrhea.

What does that mean?

It means she will have higher than normal pain during periods.

The inside lining of the uterus has grown abnormally.

Which does lead to a lot of hot flushes.

She will experience a lot of cramping and low blood pressure.

Is there a cure for it?

I mean, how do we treat this?

Unfortunately, there is no cure for it.

But Myra really has to keep up with a good diet.

And she also has to take her medicines regularly.

Doctor... Will it affect her strength?

She can't quit her running.

Don't worry, Sharvari.

For now, let's just focus on her rest and regular medicines.

We will be monitoring her health.

But we have to make sure she doesn't over-exert herself.

Ok.

Thank you so much, doctor. - No problem.

Let's go.

Thank you.

I will always be there for you and Myra.

You know that.

Take your afternoon tablet on time.

And eat your fruit without fail. - Mum, I know.

Mum, stop the car. - Huh?

Mum, stop the car.

What happened?

Nothing...

I can walk.

Don't drop me right at the gate.

Are you embarrassed?

Mum, please!

Do you see anybody else's mum coming to drop them?

I told you, I'm fine.

Myra, it's just a matter of one week.

I'm taking my cycle from tomorrow.

Why are you getting so upset?

Just leave me alone. - Ok, bye!

Hey, watch it!

Ugh, what's that smell? Is it you?

Yuck!

Come on, let's go. - Let's go.

Don't listen to them, they are idiots.

Just focus on the selection tournament, ok?

Come on, let's go.

Myra!

What is this? - Why can't you knock?

What is this, how many times do I have to tell you?

Your medicines were lying under the sofa.

You missed your afternoon tablet again, didn't you?

I forgot to take it. - How can you forget?

Why can't you understand?

You will have to take your medicines on time if you want to control the Endometriosis.

What will you do if you end up fainting on the day of the tournament?

Let your monthly cycles get regularised...

I'm speaking to you! - Mum, please!

Stop complaining all the time!

It's very irritating, you know that?

Mum, just give me my space.

I told you I will take my tablets!

I have only missed it for two days. - Myra, I'm tired of running after you.

My mum was never this patient with me.

Mum, please, just give me a break! - Break?

My parents would break bones!

Are you threatening me?

Do you want to break my bones?

Did I say that?

Mum, you just said it! - Myra, it is impossible to talk to you!

Myra!

Myra!

Wait!

Myra!

Mum has been acting strange these days.

You know, she tries to control me.

She doesn't even let me go out.

I feel like I'm stuck trapped at home.

You know, she wants me to share everything with her.

But she never shares anything with me.

You know, she is hiding her relationship from me!

She has a boyfriend?

Ya...

She says Vabs is just a friend.

But I'm not a kid.

[Line ringing]

Of course I will be happy if mum wants to move on in life.

But she doesn't tell me anything.

Then why should I?

Do you like Vab...

What's his name again?

Vaibhav... - Hmm...

Ya, he's cool.

Wait, don't move.

Don't look. Nope, don't. Noah's coming. - Huh, what?

Hey, Myra!

Hey! - Hey!

Hi, Noah!

I was just wondering if you have time to discuss the assignment.

I'm busy next week. So, I thought...

We could head to the library and discuss. - Ya!

Of course.

Hmm.

[Car alarm chirps]

Did he know I lied? - No!

I think he got angry when I said that.

No, I'm serious!

And I think... He does get a little too angry about the two of us.

I'm laughing, but inside I'm giving you a big...

Oh my god. - Yeah, that's not going to...

Hey, Noah! - Hey!

Hey babe!

Hey, Curry! Does this mean you are going to lose the selection tournament?

[Boy laughs] - Such a baby!

What race is that?

A race for losers.

Why don't you get lost before I punch your face?

Oh, I'm so scared!

Oh, sorry!

Myra! - What a loser, I swear!

Myra! - Oh look, your mommy has come to take you home.

Aww! - Myra!

Bye, princess! - I swear.

Goodbye, baby girl!

Myra... - Mum, stop embarrassing me!

What! Listen...

Why didn't you answer my call?

I was waiting for 40 minutes.

Why can't you understand?

Things are stressful at work and home, and now with you too.

I get tired with all the running around.

You aren't a small kid anymore!

At least you can avoid giving me stress.

I'm talking to you, Myra.

Myra, wait. I'm talking to you.

Myra!

Hi, champ! - Hi...

[Car alarm chirps]

I have been calling you since ages.

Sorry, my phone was on silent mode.

Did you two fight again?

Vaibhav, please.

Please don't add me to your fight club.

Thanks for the medicines.

You don't have to say thanks. The medical shop was on the way.

Will you have coffee?

That's one hot coffee! And bitter!

Vaibhav, please! - And spicy!

I'm good. You enjoy.

Bye!

Wait a second. - Yes?

Looks like something is missing.

What's missing?

Found it.

Bye!

Bye!

Bye!

Go!

You first.

Myra...

What is this?

Your room is a mess.

You can keep it a little tidy.

Look, you have left stuff out here as well.

You are unbelievable. Here you go.

Careful.

Mum... - Hmm?

I'm going running tomorrow.

The selection tournament is approaching.

And I can't miss practice.

Ok.

Mum...

Am I beautiful?

What happened?

Answer me. Am I beautiful?

Of course, my child.

You are very beautiful.

And you know what?

Beauty doesn't matter.

Your heart should be beautiful.

And you have a very beautiful heart.

Do you mean to say that I'm not beautiful?

Are you calling me ugly.

When did I say that?

Of course, you are beautiful and talented. - Then?

Why did you tell me about inner beauty?

What is the matter with you?

Are you ok?

Mum, it's not always about you.

And what do you mean by ok? Do you think I'm crazy?

What?

I'm grown up now, stop talking to me like a kid!

Myra, stop shouting.

I'm trying to have a normal conversation.

Why are you screaming?

You are also shouting!

I'm not shouting! Myra...

I need air.

Myra, don't behave like this ok? - I'm done.

I'm not done! - Wait!

Myra, you can't go like this. - Wait!

[Doorbell rings]

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday to you!

Happy Birthday-

Already? - It's not 12 AM yet.

It is in India.

[Laughs]

Come in.

Cake, seriously?

I have baked it, seriously.

When did you find the time?

I always have time for you.

Are you flirting with me?

Did you just notice that?

Shut up! - Ouch!

You are still a brat!

And yet you keep complaining about Myra.

Should I tell her what is it that you call her?

Where is Myra? Myra? - She is not at home.

She has gone out for some fresh air.

She has started throwing tantrums.

I have no idea how to handle her.

[Laughs]

Why are you laughing?

Why wouldn't I? You were just the same.

How do you remember all this?

I don't know.

It's all coming back to me after we met again.

Hmm...

Look, Myra is here. Come here, let's cut the cake.

Come on.

Did you get your fresh air?

Let it go.

Let's cut the cake, shall we?

Myra, please help me.

Happy Birthday, mum.

Thank you.

Come on.

Blow the candles - that's right!

Happy Birthday to you!

Thank you so much.

You're a sweetheart.

Now you are the one flirting.

Vaibhav, please!

Listen.

I have fixed a meeting for you with an investor.

If he likes it, you might get funding for your Maharashtrian restaurant.

For real?

Yes...

Give your best!

Thank you so much!

I just hope it works out.

It will.

Ok bye!

Go now!

[Engine starts]

Impressive.

Miss Sharvari...

The restaurant where you are the head chef is pretty well known.

And is critically acclaimed, am I right?

That's right, sir.

Look, I'm going to be frank with you.

I don't think your idea of a Maharashtrian restaurant is going to work.

You see, when you go anywhere outside India...

All the foreigners know about is, North Indian cuisine.

They know Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka and Tandoori Roti.

Nobody knows about Maharashtrian cuisine.

I personally believe that Maharashtrian cuisine is so limited.

Sir, but that's why I want to challenge the food palette.

When it comes to vegan meat,

there are so many options in Maharashtrian cuisine...

Like Jackfruit and Banana Flower.

People are looking forward to these kind of vegan options to begin with.

Ya, but vegan is a very small community.

The West loves meat.

What are your options for meat lovers?

We have so many options for meat and seafood too.

How will you sell it?

What's your USP?

Ok.

Maharashtrian cuisine doesn't use strong spices.

But the base preparations in North Indian cuisine are uniform.

In Maharashtrian cuisine, spices are very well balanced.

So, the choice of tamarind, coconut milk, mango and tossed peanuts...

They offer a rich scale to experiment with.

They are easy on your palette and stomach too.

I'm sorry, Miss Sharvari.

I think your idea is great.

But your proposal is far too ambitious.

The West is not ready for a Maharashtrian restaurant.

And I want to invest my money in a North Indian restaurant.

I don't want to experiment.

I'm sorry, sir.

But I'm not here to compromise.

I believe in this.

I suggest you consider my offer.

Opportunity doesn't knock twice, Miss Sharvari.

Luck won't always be on your side.

I know, sir.

That's why I make my own luck.

Anyway, thank you so much for your time.

Really appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hi, Myra.

Mum is not at home. - I know. I'm here to see you.

Why? - Why?

Because you are fun.

Let's walk?

Yeah.

So, you really think I'm fun?

Of course.

You're such a good athlete.

And you are still so focused.

You are a dashing person.

Just like your mum.

Honestly, I'm scared of the two of you.

[Chuckles]

Shall I ask you something? - Please!

Actually, no it's fine.

Try me. - No, it's fine.

Try, at least?

Do you like my mum?

Yes.

Since when?

Since we were in school.

She was my first crush. - Huh?

My mum?

How was she then?

She was rude!

And funny.

And greedy!

[Laughs] - Greedy?

Seriously!

She used to get hungry during the lecture.

She would pass around chits to everyone asking what's in their tiffin!

[Laughs]

And you still liked her?

Was she the prettiest girl in class?

She was for me.

She was perfect for me even when she would come to school with oiled hair.

Why did you never ask her out?

I thought I wasn't good enough.

I used to think my friends were really cool.

But not me.

Do you feel you're good enough now?

Hmm...

Actually, we are always good enough.

You just have to be able to tell it to yourself.

The world sees us the way we see ourselves.

The world is tough.

We can't be tough on ourselves.

You should learn to let go.

Why don't you let go?

You should tell mum about your feelings for her.

Really? - Really.

You should tell her.

Let's race?

Come on!

[Laughs]

[Mom] Hello? - Hello, mum?

Sorry, I'm a little late. But I will reach as soon as I can.

[Mom] Don't worry. We are still waiting for our bags.

Ok. I will see you. Bye! - [Mom] Bye!

Have some more, Myra.

And you, take it easy.

Grandma, I beat Vabs in the race today. - Really?

Yes! - When is this Vabs coming?

What, Vaibhav is coming here?

Vaibhav? Then who is Vabs?

Vabs is Vaibhav! - Ah!

Why are you getting excited? - Vaibhav is just a friend.

Friend?

Let me tell you... - Mom!

He is just a friend. Can't I just have friends?

Of course you can have friends.

But how much time are you going to take now?

What is going on?

He is her boyfriend.

Boyfriend? - Yes!

Your boyfriend? - Yes!

Hang on! Myra, just shut up!

Got a taste of your own medicine?

[Cellphone rings]

I didn't know he was your boyfriend already!

Hello!

[Vaibhav] The setup for the rain is ready, but I'm getting nervous now.

What do you mean, nervous?

Just shut your eyes tight and say your speech.

[Vaibhav] But I keep forgetting.

Ok, I have to go now. Bye! - [Vaibhav] Listen!

Remember, he was in her class?

That tall and fair guy?

[Doorbell rings]

[Gasps]

Vaibhav!

Isn't this the perfect temperature?

The rain, just how you like it.

I know I'm bad at this... But I have been preparing since last night.

I've closed my eyes just to avoid feeling nervous.

You know... My dad got transferred to Mumbai when I was in the 7th grade.

I was so scared.

I had no friends.

Then one day, our teacher sat you next to me.

That was the first time someone spoke to me.

Do you remember what you had asked me?

You asked, "What's in your tiffin?"

And you two are "just friends"?

Vaibhav, please! - No, no!

Please Sharvari, don't stop me now.

I won't stop now.

I was a fool.

I don't want to waste time now.

I love you, Sharvari.

Will you marry me?

Hi...

Hi, auntie!

[All laughs]

[Laughs] - No way, no way!

"What's in your tiffin?" Oh, God!

This is too much!

My timing was a little off yesterday, that's it! - Yes.

I know, my timing was way too off.

I had no clue that your parents would be there.

Myra should have told me, at least! - Yes.

Yes, Myra should have told me.

Yes.

Yes?

What do you mean?

I said, yes!

I will marry you.

No!

No?

Ok...

Sharvari!

Noah...

Noah...

Noah!

Don't worry.

Your friends aren't around.

Why are you avoiding me? - Look, Myra.

I'm sorry. But my friends don't like you.

They think you're weird.

As for me and you.

We're just partners in a project.

We're not friends.

I'm sorry!

Myra!

Myra, I want to tell you something.

Mum, not now. I'm not in the mood.

What happened?

I don't know. Just...

Do you want to talk about it? - Tell me...

Mum, I want to be left alone. Please.

How will that solve any problems?

Tell me, what's wrong?

You may not like it, but I do.

Just because my approach is different, does that mean it's wrong?

What is happening?

I need a break.

I'm going for the school's overnight picnic.

I won't permit you to go for an overnight picnic.

Oh god, I'm not a baby!

I'm a grown up now.

I've given you all the freedom, but that doesn't mean you sit on my head!

Mum, you can't "give" freedom.

Everyone has a right to freedom.

What is going on, you two?

What's wrong?

Why don't you ask your daughter?

What is this way of talking?

Why are you yelling at her?

Can't you see how she is fighting with me?

Didn't you fight with us too?

Please, dad. This is serious.

I'm going for the overnight picnic. That's it.

Didn't you go to the amusement park for a picnic too?

Their picnic is not at an amusement park.

Just... I'm done with this!

Myra, I'm not done with you. Wait!

Myra!

She's just a child.

Not at all!

Please, let me handle this.

You will handle this?

Didn't you "handle" your life all these years?

Am I right?

What came out of it?

You couldn't handle yourself...

How will you handle a child?

Of course, I did nothing right.

This house, my job, Myra...

Everything materialised out of thin air.

She grew up just like that.

You never saw my efforts, my sacrifices.

You only saw my mistakes and my divorce!

It was not easy to do this alone here. I did it all by myself.

Never asked you for a penny. But not even once...

Not even once did you say that you are proud of me.

Never once did you praise my efforts.

Not even once!

Am I such a big failure?

Sharvari!

Myra...

Your medicines.

Take them on time.

And I don't want any complaints from your teacher.

Bye, grandma and grandpa!

Hello!

Hi, are you the chef? - Yes, I am.

Is everything ok? - Actually, no.

The soup doesn't taste the same.

The previous British chef used to get it right.

Yeah, we were here 6 months ago.

It doesn't taste the same.

Are you new?

No, I'm not.

I've been in the business for more than 10 years.

And I have always been the chef here.

Oh, I just thought it was someone else.

You know, since this is a British restaurant.

Well, you know now.

An Indian chef in a British restaurant.

Have a good evening.

[Cellphone rings]

Hello? - [Thomas] Hi, Sharvari. This is Thomas.

Hi, Thomas!

[Thomas] So, we have received your proposal for the Maharashtrian restaurant.

[Thomas] But I'm not sure we can experiment at this stage.

[Thomas] I'm really sorry.

[Thomas] It's not going to work out for us.

Ya, I understand, sir.

[Thomas] You do? Great!

Thanks for calling. - [Thomas] Of course, no problem.

Bye. - [Thomas] Bye.

[Boss] 'I'm sorry, Miss Sharvari. '

'Your proposal is far too ambitious. '

'It won't take me long to replace you. '

'People think of Chicken Tikka when they hear about Indian cuisine. '

'Who is going to ask for your Puran Poli?'

[Sighs]

Here, have some water. - I'm good.

Are you still looking for funding?

Yes.

A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.

Why did you turn down the offer for the North Indian restaurant?

We have already discussed this.

[Chuckles]

When do we discuss anything?

You tell things to your mom. I only find out about your end decisions.

I am speaking out of concern.

My only wish is that you don't get hurt. Get it?

Listen to me...

Sometimes, even the smallest of compromises...

Make your life easier.

My child... You are a good mother.

Keep that in mind.

Dad...

Vaibhav and I... - Well, that is fantastic news!

Seriously!

[Laughs]

Are you hungry? - Not right now.

Alright.

Okay, now drop it.

Pour it. Come on.

Do you want to eat anything else?

Mike! - Myra has peed herself.

Boys!

Mike! - Leave her alone!

What are you going to do about it?

Mike! - Boys!

You want to see? - Let's see.

Boys, I say stop it. - Go inside now. Behave yourself.

Nice one, Mikey! - What a loser!

Myra, are you ok? - Don't worry, ok?

The smell has gone, finally.

[Laughs]

Such an idiot, I swear.

Forget about them.

They are honestly not worth it. - Kind of, finally got a bath.

How was your picnic?

It was ok.

Are the dates out for your selection tournament?

No mum, not yet.

Mum? - Hmm?

I want to talk.

Just give me 5 minutes. I will come downstairs, and we can talk.

Mum, it's very important. Let's talk now. - Ya, Myra. Just give me one minute.

Mum, please! - Myra, what!

Why can't you understand?

[Cellphone rings]

Hello?

Ya, hi!

Sure.

'The sun is rising... '

Aww...

So, how was your trip?

It was ok. - Hmm...

Has mum accepted Vaibhav's proposal? - Yes!

Did she tell you about it?

Nope. - Didn't I tell you she would definitely say yes?

Are you happy now?

What's wrong?

Nothing, I'm just tired.

I will sleep for a bit. - Myra... listen!

[Bell rings]

Umm... Are you ok?

I'm happy for mum and Vaibhav. Just...

I want mum to spend some time with me.

First, it was just me and mum.

But now with Vaibhav...

I'm afraid she will forget me.

You've known your mum longer than she has known Vaibhav.

Why would she forget you?

I know it's silly.

And Vabs is so nice to me.

I don't know, I'm just stressed.

You should tell your mum about the bullying. - No.

Mum is finally happy.

I don't want to ruin her mood.

She is also stressed about the restaurant.

What about your grandparents?

I don't want them to think I'm weak. I can solve my own problems.

I'm sure they know you're strong.

Myra, don't react. Myra, please don't react.

Myra, what are you doing?

Stop!

Myra!

Please wait.

Myra, where are you going?

Myra, stop!

What's wrong with you?

Get lost!

Did you do this?

Why?

Do you like it?

Mike, did you do this?

"Did you do this!"

Yeah, I did.

Mike, you're being such an - Myra, wait!

Oh, look who's here.

Hi, Vicky!

Myra, stop! - I'm not a loser!

Myra, get off him! - Stop!

What are you doing? - Stop, stop!

I'm not a loser!

Myra, get off! - Stop, stop!

Mikey, are you ok?

Mike, get up. - It's ok.

Mike, get up. - It's ok.

What is wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?

Uncle, Vicky has done nothing wrong. Don't shout at him.

Myra, stop it!

I'm sorry. - It's ok.

Come.

Mike is in the hospital.

He has a fractured nose and several stitches on his face.

Sorry, I will not have a delinquent at my school.

No, sir. He bullied me.

He hit me and Vicky first. - Myra, keep quiet.

Why should I, mum? - I was quiet all this while.

What happened? Look at where we are.

Mike and his friends put up my posters all over school.

Did you know he bullied me at the picnic too?

He's just been so nasty.

And you expect me to stay quiet?

I'm sorry, I can't keep up with this shit.

Do you see what's happening, Miss Dixit?

She doesn't obey rules. She doesn't respect authority.

We will be suspending her.

I won't be able to play the selection tournament, right?

Don't say a word.

Myra, open the door. - [Knocking]

Myra, please.

No, you don't trust me mum. - Listen to me.

Myra, let's talk. - Come on, open the door.

No mum, go away for my sake. - Myra, open the door.

Myra! - Sharvari, you have to calm down.

Give her some time.

[Myra crying]

I'm sorry sir, I'm late.

You should be.

Sharvari, let me get a few things absolutely clear.

I have invested money in this restaurant.

The salary which you are getting every month...

That's for working in this restaurant.

I know, sir. I am...

If you don't want to work here, then please...

Walk out.

I had warned you...

I had told you to buck up.

I want returns on my investment, got it?

You are my employee.

Yet you are trying to raise funds for your own restaurant.

What did you think?

That I won't find out?

The investors that you are contacting...

They are from my inner circle. Got it?

Look, Sharvari...

Your contract will be up in a couple of months.

After that, you are free to look for your funding.

I think I have made my decision.

I'm sorry... - Sorry, Sharvari...

I cannot work with you.

You are fired.

Sir, please... - Please walk out, Sharvari. Please.

[Music]

When Myra was younger...

She would visit this beach frequently.

She would confide in these waves.

She would scream if she was sad.

And then she would burst out laughing.

But now, forget about the waves...

She doesn't even confide in me.

Maybe, even she doesn't know what she is feeling.

I know...

Her body is changing, her mind is a mess.

But it's frustrating for me to see her in pain.

How will that help, Sharvari?

If you keep getting frustrated, it will drive you two further apart.

But what can I do?

Do you have a solution?

Myra is all I have.

When she was younger, she would hold on to my hand...

...tightly whenever I had to step out. She would beg me not to leave.

I would be tempted to stay back and never leave her hand.

But I had no choice.

My friends were progressing in their career, my dreams were on hold...

But I never regretted it because Myra was important.

She was my world!

The same Myra...

Who would hide my shoes so that I wouldn't go out...

Today we are in the same room and we barely exchange a word.

I don't understand where I'm going wrong.

I don't know.

I feel like a complete failure.

I feel like a complete failure.

[Crying]

Come on, get up.

Where are we going?

Whatever you want to say to Myra, say it to these waves.

Let it be... - Come on, Sharvari...

No... - Let it out.

I can't do it.

Try, at least.

Come on.

Let's go.

Let it out, Sharvari.

I can't do this.

You can do it.

Try it one more time.

[Screams]

[Crying]

Do you know, Myra...

Back in Mumbai, a bunch of us would come together...

And make these laddoos.

Do you know what gram flour is?

[Cellphone rings]

Hello?

Myra, seniors' party tonight.

Let's go?

But, mum won't let me. - Please, try!

Let me try.

What's wrong, Myra?

Nothing...

It's Natasha's birthday.

Can I go?

Mum has given me permission to go.

Of course you can go. But come back home in time.

Do you want to try a laddoo?

No, grandma! - Have a bite, at least!

Try it once.

Did you like it?

[Laughs]

Sharvari's engagement date is almost here.

Should I gift a saree to Vaibhav's cousin?

Do you want to? - Oh, you are back!

I will make some tea for you. - No, it's fine.

Why not?

I will make some ginger tea for you. You will feel fresh!

Make some for me as well.

Are you my enemy? Why wouldn't I! Come, sit.

Mom, where is Myra?

Didn't she tell you?

She went to Natasha's place for the birthday party.

Natasha's place? - Yes.

Come on.

I mean, you see they are all really just a scam.

Yeah.

Hey Vicky! - Hey guys!

Vicky! - How's it going?

Skyler, Jade - this is Myra.

Hey! - Hi!

I've heard so much about you.

Vicky said you are an athlete.

Ya, I love running.

I'm running the city marathon. You should totally come with me.

Drinks? - We got drinks guys, you want anything?

No...

I don't drink.

Are you sure? - I will just have some juice.

Yeah, whatever. Great.

Come on, let's go. - Yeah, sure.

Vick, I think we should go home.

It's going to be fine. Let's go.

[Line ringing]

She is not answering my call.

I have never heard about Natasha before.

I know all her friends.

Are you sure she said Natasha? - Yes, she mentioned Natasha for sure.

Hello! Hi, this is Myra's mom.

Is Vicky at home?

Just a little bit of juice for the lady.

Here you go. - Thank you.

You and Vicky want to check some?

Yeah, all night baby. All night.

I saw you looking. Are you sure you don't want anything?

No, I don't do drugs.

It's ok. Just enjoy your juice.

Do you still want to go running with me? - Of course!

Let's drink to that.

Cheers! - Cheers!

Myra!

Are you doing drugs?

No, mum... I haven't done anything.

What is wrong with you guys?

Do you know what you're doing here?

Do you know how old she is?

She's thirteen. She's just a kid.

Vicky, I didn't expect this from you.

Mum, you are embarrassing me. Can you please -

Myra, just shut up!

You lied to me.

Mum, please... - Not a word from you.

Get in the car right now!

I hate you!

Listen, Sharvari...

Send Myra back with us. She will stay with us in Mumbai.

What are you saying, dad!

What's wrong with what he is suggesting?

How long will this go on?

Will you be able to look after her all by yourself?

How will you manage when we go back?

And won't it be good for her to spend a year in Mumbai?

It will be a good change for her.

Sharvari, listen to us.

It's still not too late.

But once we cross that threshold, Myra will stop listening to us as well.

And we are not strangers, right?

Don't children live with their grandparents?

Myra is coming with us to Mumbai. It's decided.

We will take her with us after your engagement.

[Bhasin] Hello? - Hello, Mr. Bhasin.

Hi, Sharvari. What a pleasant surprise.

Sir, I'm interested in taking up your offer for the North Indian restaurant.

Oh!

Is it still open?

Does this mean you have finally given up on

your dream of having a Maharashtrian restaurant?

[Bhasin] That's great news.

I'm happy to meet you this week.

Thank you, sir. - [Bhasin] See you then!

[Sighs]

I heard you are not speaking to your mum.

Damn.

Looks like I'm getting the silent treatment as well.

Hmm...

I did nothing wrong.

I was just standing there.

I didn't do drugs.

Mum doesn't trust me.

Then who lied?

Why did you lie about going to the party?

Because mum would have never agreed.

You know, she hears me but she doesn't listen.

I feel like I'm shouting alone in a room full of people.

But no one sees me.

No one.

Your mum notices you, Myra.

She is always standing by the door.

She doesn't leave even when you shut the door on her.

She keeps waiting for you.

I wish I had something like this.

Do you know...

My parents would fight a lot.

Constant fights.

They would never pay attention to me.

So, I would throw utensils around, break them...

Hoping to get their attention.

You know what they would do?

They would hit me and lock me in a room.

And they would keep fighting all the time.

Your mom is only invested in you.

She loves you the most.

And where you are loved, you feel the most at home.

Homes made with love never break.

Am I right?

Where is your home?

Umm...

Right there.

My home will always be there.

[Laughs]

Hi...

Sir, you have to see this video.

Joanna recorded the bullying.

Myra cannot miss school.

Sir, you have to let her resume her classes. Please!

Thanks.

For speaking to the principal.

This selection tournament means a lot to me.

It means a lot to me too.

To us.

Am I right?

Myra, I want the best for you.

What you think cannot always be right.

Mum, your version is not my reality.

I'm trying.

I'm really trying.

I keep trying, but you don't let me in.

You're just pushing me away.

Myra, you lied to me.

And that's not right.

I thought we were best friends.

Hmm?

Then, what went wrong?

You tell me, mum.

What went wrong?

You never listen to me.

You don't have to be this perfect person all the time.

You don't share anything with me.

Because I don't want to trouble you with my problems.

But best friends share, Mum.

I know that you accepted the offer for the North Indian restaurant.

Having a Maharashtrian restaurant was your dream.

But you gave up.

Just like you gave up on me.

I didn't push you away.

[Alarm ringing]

Come on, we are getting late.

Sharvari, Myra - are you two coming already?

Mom, is Myra downstairs? - No, she isn't here.

Hang on, I will check in her room.

Come quickly. - Myra?

Myra -

[Knocking]

Myra?

Myra?

We are getting late.

I'm sorry, mum.

I lied to you.

The tournament is today.

Not tomorrow.

But today is an important day for you.

You deserve to be happy, mum.

I know...

I haven't been a good daughter.

I have troubled you. - No!

You must be mad at me.

But I'm going to make you proud today.

And I'm not going to give up.

So, please...

Don't give up on your dreams.

Don't let them go away so easily.

I have faith in you, mum.

You should do exactly what you want.

And even if the world doesn't believe in you...

I do.

You are my fighter.

[Vaibhav] Sharvari?

Come on, we are getting late -

What happened?

Vaibhav...

Myra's tournament is today.

She did not tell me so that I don't miss my engagement.

Myra needs me.

I can't do this without her.

Please.

I'm sorry!

Is this your sorry?

That's it?

Vaibhav...

Vaibhav, please!

If you are really sorry, let me drive.

We are both going to Myra.

[Sharvari] Myra... Is it possible to win every time?

No, right? Just give your best.

[Sharvari] Don't think only about winning.

Where is your home, mum?

You are my home, Myra.

[Whistle blows]

Come on, Myra!

Myra!

Go Myra!

[Whistle blows]

[Sobbing]

You are mad at me, right?

How can I be mad at you, my child?

We are mother and daughter.

Myra, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

I failed to understand you.

But Myra, I never gave up on you...

Or on us.

I will never leave you.

You will always be with me.

I promise.

I love you, mum!

I love you too!

Hope you are not already engaged to my mum.

Not without you, champ.

Go, get the cup!

Go...
