Update 33
INT. HOTEL ROOFTOP RESTAURANT – NIGHT – SOFT WIND & CITY LIGHTS IN BACKDROP
ek classy, cozy rooftop — golden pendant lights latak rahe hain, kuch tables pe couple candles jali hui hain. ek kone mein long table reserved hai, sab usi par baithte hain — freshly post-movie. waiter menu cards de raha hota hai.
TABLE ARRANGEMENT:
ek side: asad, ammu, asma
doosri side: arjun, nikhat, taz
corner side: zaheer & shanu
nikhat ka sacrf bar-bar udta hai, arjun usse gently pakad kar uske kandhe par set karta hai, casual smile ke sath. nikhat slow blink karte hue uske haath par lightly touch karti hai.
ammu un dono ki movement side-eye se notice kar rahi hoti hai — uske haathon ka spoon aur zyada zor se plate pe takra jata hai. tingg!
asad ek mild glance deta hai — kuch kehne ka mood nahi, bas observe kar raha hai.
cut to: zaheer & shanu
zaheer ek glass paani le raha hota hai, shanu casually uska haath thoda avoid karke salt shaker ki taraf jhukti hai. unka haath again brush hota hai.
zaheer:
"ab to aadat ho gayi hai."
shanu:
"haan, tujhe meri har cheez ki ho gayi hai lagta hai."
zaheer halki si hansi rokta hai. aankhon mein shanti hoti hai, dono ke gestures ab natural aur soft ho chuke hain.
cut back to arjun & nikhat
nikhat uske ear ke paas lean karti hai:
nikhat (softly):
"waise tum kaafi decent behave kar rahe ho… movie ke comparison mein."
arjun (smirk karta hai):
Itne sare cctv yahaan bethe hain, isliye mujhe manners yaad aa gaye."
nikhat giggle karti hai, uske haath par haath rakhti hai.
ammu finally react karti hai — ek cold sip lete hue asad se:
ammu:
"tumhe kaisa laga jaipur... Pasand aaya yeh shaher
asad (calm tone):
Pasand kuch jyada hi aaya actually,or sabse jyada yaha ke log
ammu thoda stir hoti hai, nikhat ki hansi ek baar fir uske kaan mein padti hai wo glance maar kar dekhti hai arjun ka haath nikhat ke haath ke upar rest karta hua hai.
waiter aata hai, order le raha hota hai.
taz loudly:
"ek chicken tangdi, do mushroom lajawab, teen lemon soda, aur ek break-up special bhi bhej do!"
asma:
"break-up special?"
taz:
*"haan, tu bachi hai abhi tu khana kha" (side eye ammu ki taraf, jise arjun ignore kar raha hota ha
EXT. JAIPUR KI RAAT – NIKHAT KA GHAR – LANE OUTSIDE – NIGHT
ek halka breeze chalu hai. street light ki naram roshni mein ek hi gaadi rukti hai arjun ki bike. peeche nikhat utarti hai, uske baal halki hawa mein udte hain.
nikhat (softly):
“aaj ka din… seriously, i didn’t expect this.
arjun helmet utarke uski taraf dekhta hai, ek thaka hua sa lekin confident smile.
arjun:
“you handled it well. aur waise bhi... team mein agar tum nahi hoti to yeh jealous-ka-tadka itna tasty nahi banta.”
nikhat (laughs, then steps closer):
"tum mazak bhi serious tone mein karte ho,
ek second ki khamoshi. dono aankhon se baat karte hain. nikhat apne bag ka strap theek karte hue uski aankhon mein direct dekhti hai
ek second ki khamoshi. dono aankhon se baat karte hain. nikhat apne bag ka strap theek karte hue uski aankhon mein direct dekhti hai.
nikhat (lightly teasing):
"good night waise toh bol doge... lekin... Amm agar tum samajh jao to
arjun (eyebrow raised):
Kya nikhat
"
nikhat (shrugs):
"tum smart ho, khud samajh jao."
arjun thoda hesitate karta hai. ek second ko uski aankhen left-right dekhti hain, fir wo slow lean karta hai aur nikhat ke gaal ke paas soft sa kiss karta hai. gentle, respectful. nikhat aankhen band kar leti hai.
nikhat (whispers, with a shy breath):
"wow... matlab tum bas dikhte nahi ho, smart bhi ho."
arjun thoda smile karta hai, peeche murta hai, bike start karta hai. helmet pehente waqt ek baar aur nikhat ki taraf dekhta hai is baar kuch bolta nahi, bas aankhon se goodnight wish karta hai.
nikhat (under her breath, uske jaate hi):
"it was such a wonderful day, arjun… thank you."
wo sigh leke andar chali jaati hai. camera uske peeche band hoti darwaze par tik jaata hai.
Darwaza band hote hi NIKHAT ek lambi saans leti hai or bolti hai lucky girl Ammu... Or apni aankho se behta aansu saaf karti hai or apne room me chali jati hai
CUT TO:
raat ki wo thandak, arjun ki bike chalti hui... uski aankhon mein kuch thoughts churn ho rahe hote hain. music fade in hota hai... ek layered emotion — jahan thrill hai, guilt bhi... aur kahin na kahin ek buried longing.
INT. ARJUN KA GHAR – LIVING ROOM – NIGHT
andar thoda sa silence hai, dinner ho chuka hai. arjun bas abhi nikhat ko drop karke ghar aaya hai. ghar me calmness hai lekin hawa me kuch heavy feel hota hai. arjun jaise hi apne room ke taraf badhta hai, samne asad baithha hota hai — aankhon me aaj ki har baat, har reaction clear hai.
asad (smirk ke sath, slightly sarcastic):
Nice game, arjun… honestly, tumne bahut convincing act kiya aaj.you think ki yeh sab karne se tum humein rok paoge... Forget it... Or wo koi bachi nahi hai,uska baap bimar hai waha niche... Wo usi ko dhyaan me rakh kar decision legi not for your these silly acts....
arjun ruka nahi. uske chehre pe ek thandi si winning smile aayi, lekin usne kuch bola nahi. asad ki aankhon me dekh kar ek calm sa head nod diya — ek aisa nod jisme har ek jawaab chhupa tha, bina ek lafz kahe.
arjun quietly apne room me chala jata hai. lights off karte hi uska phone blink karta hai —
SCREEN TEXT:
"chhat par aa sakte ho? please. – ammu"
arjun screen ko kuch seconds tak dekhta hai. aankhon me softness aata hai... aur bina kuch delay kiye, wo quietly slippers pehenta hai aur chhat ki taraf badhta hai.
EXT. CHHAT – NIGHT – JAIPUR KA AASMAAN THODA SA CLOUDY – HALKI HAWA
ammu already waha hoti hai. railing ke paas khadi. aankhon me thakan, andar se bhaagti hui feelings. arjun dheere se aata hai, uske kuch kadam peeche ruk jaata hai.
arjun (softly):
"bulaaya tumne..."
ammu palat kar dekhti hai, aankhon me aansuon ki nami. uske chehre pe koi blush nahi, koi expression nahi — sirf ek raw, sachcha emotion.
ammu (ghusse bhare tone me, rokti-rokti):
"tumhe kya laga? tum nikhat ke saath flirt karoge... mujhe jalane ki koshish karoge... sab log mazak banate rahenge aur main chup rahungi?"
arjun uski aankhon me dekhta hai. calm rehta hai, lekin serious.
arjun:
"main tumhe kabhi dard dena nahi chahta tha, ammu."
ammu (taunting tone):
"nahi chahte the? toh itne dino se kahaan the tum? jab sab kuch bikhar raha tha… jab mujhe lag raha tha main akeli hoon… kahaan the tum tab arjun?"
uske aankhon se ab aansu tapakne lagte hai. arjun dheere se uske paas aata hai.
arjun:
"main tumhare paas tha… bas samajh nahi paa raha tha ki wapas kaise aau. mujhe laga tum mujhe bhool chuki ho. par main har raat... tumhare ghar ki light dekhta tha, tumhare darwaze tak aake laut jaata tha."
ammu (emotional):
"tum mujhe ignore karte rahe arjun... sabke saamne, mere saamne. mazaak bana diya mera."
arjun (deep breath leke, softly):
"tum mazaak nahi ho, ammu. tum meri sabse badi sachchai ho. main accept karta hoon — maine tumse duri banayi. lekin wo meri confusion thi, cowardice thi… pyaar nahi kam tha."
pause. ammu bas khadi hai, aankhon se aansu girte ja rahe hain. kuch nahi bolti.
arjun (ek kadam aage badh kar, almost whisper mein):
"ek promise deta hoon tumhe... aaj ke baad, kabhi bhi tumhe ignore nahi karunga. tumhara haath chhodunga nahi. chahe tum mujhe maaf karo ya nahi... main yahin rahunga, har baar tumhare saath."
ammu ko bas ab or sabr nahi hota uska sab kuch bhar aata hai. uska gussa, uski takleef, uska pyaar... sab uske aansuon mein beh jaata hai. wo ek kadam badhti hai... aur arjun ke seene se lag jaati hai.
arjun usse tightly pakad leta hai. dono chhup chaap, jaipur ki thandi hawaon me, ek dusre ke andar girti hui tooti baaton ko jodte hain.
camera slowly pans up to sky — halki si bijli door chamakti hai, lekin yeh raat kisi naye safar ka aaghaz hai.
ammu ab bhi arjun ke gale lagi hoti hai… kuch der dono waisa hi khade rehte hain… fir ammu dheere se peeche hoti hai. aankhon me abhi bhi nami hai, lekin expression me thoda jhoota gussa aata hai. arms fold kar leti hai wo, aur arjun ke saamne khadi ho jaati hai.
zaheer (soft tone mein):
"tum achhi lagti ho jab aise bina soche bolti ho. jaise ghar ka part ho."
shanu diary band karti hai. aankhon mein thoda warmth, lekin she keeps it light.
shanu:
"main ghar ka part hoon bhi... tumhare maa-baap ke liye. tumhare liye nahi, right?"
zaheer (looking down, then slowly up):
"pata nahi... lekin jab tum aati ho... sab thoda asaan lagta hai."
shanu aankhon se bas ek baar use dekhti hai, smile karti hai — bina kuch reply kiye. tabhi andar se ammu ki awaaz aati hai.
ammu (door se):
"chalein? main tayyar ho gayi hoon."
shanu turant apne moment se bahar aati hai.
shanu (chalte hue):
"haan haan chalo. guest ko bhi uthao, nahi to uska 'aakhri din' sofa pe beetega."
zaheer uthta hai, lekin aankhon mein ek subtle warmth hai. dono silently chal padte hain, lekin jo vibe chhodi us living room mein, wo heavy nahi thi — bas ek gentle sa bond jo deepen ho gaya tha.
INT. PRATAP’S HOUSE – MORNING – DINING ROOM
subah ki halki dhoop dining room ke sheer curtain se chhan kar aa rahi hoti hai. table pe nashta lag chuka hota hai poha, aloo paratha, bread pakoda, aur chutney ke saath steaming chai.
SHANU sabse pehle uth kar chhoti thaliyon me sabko chai serve karti hai.
AMMU, ASMA aur ZAHEER table par aa kar baith chuke hote hain.
TAZ kuch der baad aata hai, ek hand me mobile aur doosre haath se baal set karta hua.
TAZ (thoda drama karta hua, kursi khinchte hue)
yeh sab tum log khud banate ho kya? ya swiggy ki bhaabhi ne bheja hai?
SHANU (chhoti smile ke sath)
poha mere haathon ka hai, paratha mummy ka... bread pakoda papa ne fry kiya.
TAZ (aankhein failakar)
arre waah... joint venture chal raha hai is ghar mein. kaash mere ghar mein bhi sab log milkar breakfast banate, waha to sab mujhe banake khilate hain — jokes..
ZAHEER (pakoda uthane lagta hai)
bhai, breakfast mein full family effort ho toh swaad double ho jata hai.
ASMA (ek bite leke)
aur calories bhi double ho jaati hain.
TAZ (asma ki taraf dekhte hue)
kha ke mat gino, ginke mat khao. dono kaam dangerous hote hain.
sab hans padte hain. ammu cup se chai pee rahi hoti hai, aur uska mood fresh dikhta hai. wo shaant hoti hai, aankhon me ek sukoon arjun ke sath raat ka emotional patch-up ka asar saaf dikh raha hota hai.
SHANU (ammu ki taraf dekhkar aankh maarte hue)
aaj toh kisi ka mood full gulab jamun jaisa lag raha hai.
AMMU (sip lete hue, smile chupate hue)
bas subah ki chai ka kamaal hai... aur zindagi ki chhoti chhoti baatein.
ZAHEER (shanu ki taraf halke se dekhta hai)
haan, kuch baatein chhoti hoti hain, par unka asar bada hota hai.
SHANU (zaheer ki taraf dekhti nahi, par smile karti hai)
aur kuch log samajh jaate hain bina kuch kahe.
thoda sa pause hota hai. sab apne apne plate me busy ho jaate hain.
TAZ (pakoda uthate hue)
yeh pakoda kiska hai?
ZAHEER
khud uthaya tune, fir bhi puch raha hai?
TAZ
bhai emotional scene chal raha tha... confirm kar raha tha kahin kisi ke jazbaat ka pakoda na ho
SHANU (taunt maarte hue)
tera muh emotional scene ke beech mein ekdum breaking news jaise ghusta hai.
TAZ (dramatically)
kyunki main TRP hoon is kahani ki. tum log love angle ho... main logic hoon!
sab ek baar fir se hans padte hain. shanu apne papa pratap ko mess karne ja rahi hoti hai lunch menu ke liye.
cut to:
KITCHEN SIDE
zaheer aur shanu jaise hi table se uthte hain aur tray le jaate hain kitchen me, unhe thoda akelapan milta hai.
ZAHEER (shanu se casually)
kal ki barish ke baad... sab kuch alag sa lag raha hai na?
SHANU (paani ka glass rakhte hue)
hmm… kuch yaadein chipak jaati hain jaise bheege kapdon mein se nikalti nahi.
ZAHEER
aur kuch log... ek baar bheeg jaayein toh dobara nahi sookhte.
shanu kuch nahi bolti. ek thali dhone ka natak karte hue bas smile kar leti hai.
nashta chalu hai… halke phulke mazaak ke beech sab log apne-apne plate se chew karte hue ek comfort wali silence me hote hain… tabhi gate ki taraf se halki si awaaz hoti hai.
ARJUN aur ASAD ek sath enter karte hain.arjun casual grey tee aur track pants me hair messy sa, lekin aankhon me usual confidence.
asad thoda composed, lekin aankhon ke neeche halka sa stress. dono ka arrival sabko nazar aata hai.
TAZ (chamach thali pe maarte hue dramatise karta hai)
Arre arre… dekho dekho, dono hero aa gaye!
morning shift ke Shah Rukh aur Salman!
ARJUN (kursi kheenchte hue)
main to Ranbir hoon bhai, emotional aur charming… ye banda Salman hi thik hai, ready to punch.
asad slight smile deta hai, par kuch nahi bolta. ammu thoda asad ko notice karti hai, lekin aankhon ka attention kuch second arjun par tikta hai jise arjun catch kar leta hai.
SHANU (asad ko side ki kursi offer karte hue)
aaiye sahab, breakfast thanda ho gaya toh zimmedari aapki hai.
ASAD (baithte hue, softly)
sorry… thoda phone pe kaam tha.
TAZ (nakhli serious tone me)
haan haan, ammu se raat bhar baat karoge toh subah phone se separation anxiety to hogi hi.
AMMU (quickly)
taz, chup ho ja mere bhai
TAZ (hurting and whispering to himself)
bhai, aisi bhi kya narazgi
ASMA (arjun ko dekhti hai)
arjun bhaiya, aapki aankhen kyun laal hain? neend nahi hui kya?
ARJUN (bina blink kiye)
raat bhar Urdu padh raha tha… dil ko dard dene wali.taazgi subah ki chai se nahi, dard se aati hai.
SHANU (slow clap karti hai)
wah wah… Urdu bhi seekh li,
TAZ
agle hafte yeh shayari bhi bechne lagega, sabzi ke thele ke sath ek sher free.
ARJUN (asad ki plate ki taraf dekhte hue)
acha yeh kya combination hai? paratha ke sath ketchup?
ASAD
tumne kab dekha ketchup ke saath kisi ne bhavna jodi ho?
ARJUN
bhavna nahi… yeh taste ka ghapla ghap hai.
SHANU (amma ki taraf dekhke)
ammu, tu bol... kis team me hai? ketchup ya achaar?
AMMU (smiling calmly)
main taste ke sath hoon... team ke sath nahi.
TAZ (palak jhapkate hue)
yeh dialogue to kisi heroine ke liye hona chahiye tha…
ARJUN (pani ka glass lete hue)
aur heroine pe bhi apply hona chahiye tha.
ammu uski taraf dekhti hai... ek second ke liye aankhon me narazgi aur muskaan dono hoti hai.
asad quietly uss exchange ko notice karta hai.
CUT TO:
sab thali ke akhri tukdo tak pahunch gaye hain.shanu plates uthakar kitchen le ja rahi hoti hai, zaheer silently help karta hai.
TAZ (chair pe piche ho kar haath failate hue)
bhai, agar aaj lunch bhi yahi pe hai… to main apna mattress yahin bichha leta hoon.
ARJUN (laughing)
tu bas bata, rajai laa du?
SHANU (door se chillate hue)
laundry wale se mangwa lenge… tu bas time pe uth jaana.
AMMU
warna lunch ke sath dinner bhi yahin ho jayega.
ALL LAUGH
mood light, friendly and emotionally relaxed hota hai. sab ek dusre ke comfort zone me ja chuke hain, lekin neeche neeche tension ki kahaniyaan chhupi hui hain
asad arjun ko dekh raha hai, arjun ammu ke expressions padhte ja raha hai
INT. HOTEL ROOFTOP RESTAURANT – NIGHT – SOFT WIND & CITY LIGHTS IN BACKDROP

ek halka breeze chalu hai. street light ki naram roshni mein ek hi gaadi rukti hai arjun ki bike. peeche nikhat utarti hai, uske baal halki hawa mein udte hain.
nikhat (softly):
“aaj ka din… seriously, i didn’t expect this.
arjun helmet utarke uski taraf dekhta hai, ek thaka hua sa lekin confident smile.

sab hans padte hain. ammu cup se chai pee rahi hoti hai, aur uska mood fresh dikhta hai. wo shaant hoti hai, aankhon me ek sukoon arjun ke sath raat ka emotional patch-up ka asar saaf dikh raha hota hai.
SHANU (ammu ki taraf dekhkar aankh maarte hue)
aaj toh kisi ka mood full gulab jamun jaisa lag raha hai.
AMMU (sip lete hue, smile chupate hue)
bas subah ki chai ka kamaal hai... aur zindagi ki chhoti chhoti baatein.
ZAHEER (shanu ki taraf halke se dekhta hai)
haan, kuch baatein chhoti hoti hain, par unka asar bada hota hai.
SHANU (zaheer ki taraf dekhti nahi, par smile karti hai)
aur kuch log samajh jaate hain bina kuch kahe.
thoda sa pause hota hai. sab apne apne plate me busy ho jaate hain.
TAZ (pakoda uthate hue)
yeh pakoda kiska hai?
ZAHEER
khud uthaya tune, fir bhi puch raha hai?
TAZ
bhai emotional scene chal raha tha... confirm kar raha tha kahin kisi ke jazbaat ka pakoda na ho
SHANU (taunt maarte hue)
tera muh emotional scene ke beech mein ekdum breaking news jaise ghusta hai.
TAZ (dramatically)
kyunki main TRP hoon is kahani ki. tum log love angle ho... main logic hoon!
sab ek baar fir se hans padte hain. shanu apne papa pratap ko mess karne ja rahi hoti hai lunch menu ke liye.
cut to:
KITCHEN SIDE
zaheer aur shanu jaise hi table se uthte hain aur tray le jaate hain kitchen me, unhe thoda akelapan milta hai.
ZAHEER (shanu se casually)
kal ki barish ke baad... sab kuch alag sa lag raha hai na?
SHANU (paani ka glass rakhte hue)
hmm… kuch yaadein chipak jaati hain jaise bheege kapdon mein se nikalti nahi.
ZAHEER
aur kuch log... ek baar bheeg jaayein toh dobara nahi sookhte.
shanu kuch nahi bolti. ek thali dhone ka natak karte hue bas smile kar leti hai.
nashta chalu hai… halke phulke mazaak ke beech sab log apne-apne plate se chew karte hue ek comfort wali silence me hote hain… tabhi gate ki taraf se halki si awaaz hoti hai.
ARJUN aur ASAD ek sath enter karte hain.arjun casual grey tee aur track pants me hair messy sa, lekin aankhon me usual confidence.
asad thoda composed, lekin aankhon ke neeche halka sa stress. dono ka arrival sabko nazar aata hai.
TAZ (chamach thali pe maarte hue dramatise karta hai)
Arre arre… dekho dekho, dono hero aa gaye!
morning shift ke Shah Rukh aur Salman!
ARJUN (kursi kheenchte hue)
main to Ranbir hoon bhai, emotional aur charming… ye banda Salman hi thik hai, ready to punch.
asad slight smile deta hai, par kuch nahi bolta. ammu thoda asad ko notice karti hai, lekin aankhon ka attention kuch second arjun par tikta hai jise arjun catch kar leta hai.
SHANU (asad ko side ki kursi offer karte hue)
aaiye sahab, breakfast thanda ho gaya toh zimmedari aapki hai.
ASAD (baithte hue, softly)
sorry… thoda phone pe kaam tha.
TAZ (nakhli serious tone me)
haan haan, ammu se raat bhar baat karoge toh subah phone se separation anxiety to hogi hi.
AMMU (quickly)
taz, chup ho ja mere bhai
TAZ (hurting and whispering to himself)
bhai, aisi bhi kya narazgi
ASMA (arjun ko dekhti hai)
arjun bhaiya, aapki aankhen kyun laal hain? neend nahi hui kya?
ARJUN (bina blink kiye)
raat bhar Urdu padh raha tha… dil ko dard dene wali.taazgi subah ki chai se nahi, dard se aati hai.
SHANU (slow clap karti hai)
wah wah… Urdu bhi seekh li,
TAZ
agle hafte yeh shayari bhi bechne lagega, sabzi ke thele ke sath ek sher free.
ARJUN (asad ki plate ki taraf dekhte hue)
acha yeh kya combination hai? paratha ke sath ketchup?
ASAD
tumne kab dekha ketchup ke saath kisi ne bhavna jodi ho?
ARJUN
bhavna nahi… yeh taste ka ghapla ghap hai.
SHANU (amma ki taraf dekhke)
ammu, tu bol... kis team me hai? ketchup ya achaar?
AMMU (smiling calmly)
main taste ke sath hoon... team ke sath nahi.
TAZ (palak jhapkate hue)
yeh dialogue to kisi heroine ke liye hona chahiye tha…
ARJUN (pani ka glass lete hue)
aur heroine pe bhi apply hona chahiye tha.
ammu uski taraf dekhti hai... ek second ke liye aankhon me narazgi aur muskaan dono hoti hai.
asad quietly uss exchange ko notice karta hai.
CUT TO:
sab thali ke akhri tukdo tak pahunch gaye hain.shanu plates uthakar kitchen le ja rahi hoti hai, zaheer silently help karta hai.
TAZ (chair pe piche ho kar haath failate hue)
bhai, agar aaj lunch bhi yahi pe hai… to main apna mattress yahin bichha leta hoon.
ARJUN (laughing)
tu bas bata, rajai laa du?
SHANU (door se chillate hue)
laundry wale se mangwa lenge… tu bas time pe uth jaana.
AMMU
warna lunch ke sath dinner bhi yahin ho jayega.
ALL LAUGH
mood light, friendly and emotionally relaxed hota hai. sab ek dusre ke comfort zone me ja chuke hain, lekin neeche neeche tension ki kahaniyaan chhupi hui hain
asad arjun ko dekh raha hai, arjun ammu ke expressions padhte ja raha hai
