In a swanky villa/bungalow resort in Goa; 5 friends enter in style; Ankush Patel, Dinesh Khaitan, Aditi Goswami, Nikita Roy Chaudhary and Mritunjay Sharma. As they check in; the concierge hands out the keys; to the bedrooms of the villa; one set of keys for each bedroom. Aditi and Ankush are shacking in one room; DK and Nikki have a room each and Mritunjay is sharing a room for Kaushiki and when the concierge doesn't find the 6th occupant, there is an awkward silence which is broken by DK who scoops in with a charming one liner to the concierge. While DK is flirting away to glory with the concierge; Ankush scribbles a question for Aditi on the key cover; Bathroom or Bedroom? Aditi scribbles; pool. Nikki, already bored of the check in process, takes out her headphones and when Mritunjay asks her where did she got the headphones, Nikki tells her it was a gift from Kaushiki. And now, we hear a sixth voice, proclaim- ing; Main hun Kaushiki....yeh hain mere dost....aur yehi hai mere qaatil. At midnight, Ankush looks at a stunning Aditi as she steps inside the pool and walks over to him and just when she is about to kiss him; DK jumps in to the pool. The intimate moment is replaced with high energy shennanigans of DK who insists on playing pool games but needs some beers first. Ankush leaves the pool to get some in '2 minutes'. All this while, Nikki is rolling a cigarette and Mritunjay is looking at the ocean. DK and Aditi are in the pool and DK tries to show Aditi the back- flip game where he will go under her legs and flip her back. Aditi refuses to engage in such games as she has had a long day and her back is aching. DK stops his buffoonery and offer to give her a back rub. Ankush comes back witht the beer and sees DK giving Aditi a backrub and ribs DK by telling him to keep his hands off his girl. Ankush and DK try to convince Nikki to come to the pool but she refuses. Ankush manages to threaten Mritunjay to enjoy for a bit and Mritunjay decides to step in to the pool. Flashback: 2 Months Ago: In an Ahmedabad Resort, Mritunjay steps in to the pool and we take in the entire step up. It is a management development program and Mrintujay, the topper of his class in IIM (A) is a part of it. As the convener tells the participants to pair up for trust exercises; Mritunjay is paired with a pretty girl, Kaushiki, who looks as if she hails from the NorthEast. Mritunjay tries to coax Kaushiki into water but Kaushiki is petrified as she doesn't know how to swim. Mrintunjay, thinking that she is joking, pushes her in the pool. But when he sees her flailing and struggling, he quickly pulls her out and apologises profusely. Post their initial debacle, Mritunjay and KAushiki get along really well and win the trust exercises. At the end of the MDP, Mritunjay comes to know that Kaushiki has come from Darjeeling and has just been recruited in a small IT firm as a management trainee. Over a drink, Mritunjay tells Kaushiki about his gang in Ahmedabad. Ankush wakes up in his palatial home to his father, Parag Patel giving him a dressing down about his credit card bills. His mother, Tejal, a typical Gujarati housewife, with a penchant for forced and incorrect English, keeps her husband at bay. All this while, Ankush is distracted by the continuous ringing of his phone; someone called Naushad is calling him nonstop. When Parag asks about the incessant phone calls, Ankush tells him it is DK. and just then, DK walks in. Ankush covers up by telling him not to call him so many time when he was already coming her. DK is confused. Ankush pulls him out of the house and they decide to go to Vapour, their favorite sheesha lounge. On their way, DK mentions something about their joint venture and how things are not going the way he hoped. Ankush is completely distracted because Naushad keeps calling. They reach Vapour and Ankush tells DK to go on as he has to make a phone call. Once alone, he calls Naushad. In the lounge, we see Aditi and Nikki at their corner where Nikki is really upset because her elder sister, Yamini, is going through a tough separation. Aditi is also pissed to see her friend upset and she launches in to a rant about these 'other women' who walk in to a taken man's life and ruin everything. She insists that the women can never be emancipated unless they look out for each other instead of being home breakers. Nikki is too upset to say anything. She gets a call from Jiyaji and moves away to take the call. At the gate of the sheesha lounge, Mritunjay arrives with Kaushiki and they see an animated Ankush talking to somebody on the phone. Ankush looks at Mritunjay and signals at him that he will catch him the lounge. We stay with Ankush as he is pleading and begging for time and he blames Batuk Lal for all this confusion. The phone call ends with a serious threat from Naushad. Ankuhs breathes in and walks up to the lounge. In the lounge, DK is hogging all the attention as he shares his newest stand up routine with the rest of the gang. Kaushki is feeling a little awkward as it is a little obscene. Ankush joins the party and we see a different Ankush; warm, endearing, funny. He makes Kaushiki comfortable and asks about her living arrangements in Ahmedabad. Kaushiki also notices that Ankush is an ideal boyfriend to Aditi and she warms up to Ankush almost immediately. She also comes to know why Ankush is called Maggie because he claims that he can fix anything in 2 minutes and thats what he promises when decides to host a house party to welcome Kaushiki to the gang. In the evening, Mritunjay is leaving from the hostel, all decked up ready for the party when he sees an ambulance in front of the gate and a few haggard looking students carrying books. He comes to know that one of the students has passed out because of the stress of the coming semester exams. Mritunjay laughs it off and leaves as the other students wonder about him. At Kaushiki's house, she looks at the only interesting thing in her entire house; a bath tub. As she slips inside the tub, she holds her breath and submerges herself and we hear her VO about how hu- man bodies are 70% water and thats why it fascinates us so much. At the same time, we see Nikki sending a provocative picture to someone. In the meanwhile, Ankush has decided to ride his supe- bike and while is riding, he gets a call that he receives, not knowing who is calling him. It turns out to be Naushad who says he has a gift for him and cuts the call. Suddenly, a jeep starts to follow Ankush. After a thrilling chase, the jeep hits Ankush who skids on the road and hits a tree. While Ankush is groaning, his phone starts to ring again; it is Naushad.

We see Kaushiki in a hospital, being revived, her stomach is pumped off water and a hassled Parag reaches the hospital. Parag waits for Kaushiki to regain consciousness and we get to know that they are accomplices in a plan that has been hatched by Parag. Parag is apologetic that he got her into this mess. he didn't anticipate that the kids would get so vicious. She smiles and appreciates that she got paid well. I'm glad I survived the job, given how psychotic these spoiled desperate brats are. Kaushiki insists that she wants to leave but Parag requests for one last thing. Back in the villa, we see Kaushiki, Parag, and Sumer sitting in front of the friends. Mritunjay is the most shocked to see her. Kaushiki only has hatred for all of them and she wants to give them a piece of her mind but instead, Parag tells the story. We see a flashback where Kaushiki approached Parag for a job; Parag saw something in her that he gave her a special job; infiltrate his son, Ankush's gang and report back to him.

We see Kaushiki getting ready for the Epic part, she is sending a delayed mail to someone and we hear Sumer's VO about how in a game, no player knows that if the player is playing the game or he/she has been played. Simultaneously, we see Sumer closing the file on Kaushiki's case and he gets a mail, on this, we hear Kaushiki's VO about how some players don't want to play but are still pulled in to a game and we see Sumer calling Raje and checking the whereabouts of the gang of friends. Finally, we see Parag looking at a row of car keys and he picks one. Kaushiki's VO says but nobody knows who has dealt the cards. Back in real time at the villa, while the gang is a little apprehensive seeing Sumer, he puts them at ease and tells them that he has come in peace; in fact, he has just been transferred to Goa and he has come to check out the place. He is very friendly and he brings out a deck of cards and says; let us play poker and I will also tell you about Kaushiki.

Later that night; Kaushiki and Nikki are listening to music and chilling at Nikki's place and Nikki really likes Kaushiki's headphones and Kaushiki gifts them to her. As they are waiting for Aditi, Nikki is teasing Kausiki about her scene with Mritunjay and if they have done it as yet. Kaushiki is also indulging in cute details and Nikki's phone rings; it is JIJI. Nikki says I have to take this and she goes in the other room to take the call. Kaushiki is alone in the room and suddenly a male voice booms from the bluetooth speaker; Listen...I found a nice fuckpad in London....and then the voice goes away. Kaushiki is stunned as Nikki comes back to room. One look at Kaushiki, Nik- ki knows that Kaushiki knows. Just before Nikki can say something; the doorbell rings and Aditi walks in. A Falguni Pathak song begins and we see Nikki, Aditi, and Kaushiki in the middle of their Garba/Dandiya practice, dressed in their loose t-shirts and PJs. While Nikki is subdued and silent, Aditi is all full of energy. Every time she hits the sticks with Kaushiki, Aditi says a fuck you; to everyone who used to think that she is just a pretty face; a fuck you to people who will now see her in a different light as she will be- come the CEO of her new venture etc. Kaushiki is faking interest in learning the dance but she is only watching Nikki and is trying to gauge her reaction. Nikki abruptly leaves the practice; Kaushi- ki is surprised but Aditi tells maybe she is upset about her sister dealing with a home breaker. Ankush calls Aditi and tells her that he has got the initial seed money; Rs. 20 Lakh for the startup. Aditi meets DK and they have a best friend conversation whereDK congratulates Aditi for finally getting her due in the new venture that they are getting in to; all her dreams will come true with the new venture and Aditi thanks DK and manages to congratulate herself and tells him that how both of them have been true friends and have stood by each other. DK looks at Aditi and smiles and tells her that he never gave her much credit for her intelligence but this latest move is really special and maybe they should celebrate. Ankush gets called to the office and the father asks Ankush why did he request 20 Lakhs from the express account of his company. Ankush tells him it is for a business. Ankush's father throw's a fit and in front of the entire office and tells him that from now on; no money will be released on his Ankush's signature. Ankush, now financially blocked for the first time, has to take a call; give the 20 Lakhs to Aditi or to Naushad. And he tosses a coin. The city is all lit up and celebrating and Kaushiki is bright-eyed with wonder as she goes to pick Mritunjay up from his hostel. At the hostel, she is waiting outside for Mritunjay and she gets approached by the students of placement committee and she tells them that she works in Infotech and might ask the recruitment department to take Management Trainees from the college. Mritunjay ar- rives and as they leave; Chris's boyfriend is leaving with Chris's stuff from the room and he see Kaushiki and Mritunjay leaving together. While on their way, Kaushiki tells Mritunjay that there is something about Nikki that she has to dis- cuss and when Mritunjay asks her what is it she says she will first talk to Nikki tonight and then tell him. At the pandal; they meet Aditi and DK who have turned out in ethnic clothes and are really excited. Although Nikki is expected anytime soon Ankush is real and he is not answering his phone. Ankush in the meantime is sitting in front of Naushad and sipping Rooh Afza with a smile. There is a bag of money in front of them. Naushad is counting the money and seems satisfied. He wants to know if Ankush had any problem securing the money and Ankush casually shrugs it off. Naushad tells him that this money was not really a major concern and the only thing he wanted to check was if Ankush is worth his salt. Naushad tells him now he is ready to do bigger deals with Ankush. Ankush recently locked out by his father, hangs on every word that Naushad says about moving from mere lakhs to crores of deals. Naushad convinces him if she plays his cards right, Ankush can actually, run the city and earn millions. But Naushad wants to know one thing; has Ankush been talking to anyone about Naushad? Ankush is perplexed and says no. Naushad says ok. Ankush reaches the pandal and meets everyone. Nikki still hasnt arrived but the friends decide to play garba/dandia anyway. They all begin together but in a choreographed way, the friends get sepa- rated in different circles; DK and Aditi in one; Kaushiki and Mritunjay in another. And Ankush gets strategically isolated in the different circle and after a bit, they can not be seen anywhere. Ankush's circle is energetic and keeps moving away from the other circles. Kaushiki and Mritunjay are having a blast. And in an intercut, we see DK and Aditi making out furiously in a car. Kaushiki is trying to figure out where the group is and she sees Ankush in a different circle. Mritunjay leaves the group to go to the loo and just when Kaushiki looks at Ankush's circle she sees something. As Ankush bangs his sticks against another set of sticks; in a flash, a small knife appears at the end of the stick. As the music reaches a crescendo, Ankush is attacked by dandiya knife in a sea of people. He defends himself while being a part of the raas and eventually runs away. Kaushiki scared and concerned runs to find Mritunjay but can't find him and comes across the car where DK and Aditi are making out. She is stunned and they notice her looking at them.

We see a hospital room, the entire set up of a patient in bed with the monitors and machines. A nurse smiles at the patient but when we see the patient, it is not Ankush, it is an old, weak man. And sitting next to the man is a younger Nikki, in her school uniform. The super says; 8 years ago. The man seems to be dying and Nikki seems out of tears. Suddenly the machine beeps as the man fid- gets in the bed. Nikki is up in a flash and holds her father's hand. Nikki father becomes lucid for a moment and asks for Yamini. Nikki tells him that she has gone to meet the doctor but the father's sanity fails him and he assumes that it is Yamini who is holding his hand. He tells Nikki, thinking it is Yamini that how she has to take care of Nikki because she is the black sheep of the family and is a big disappointment for everyone. Nikki is heartbroken to hear her father and he continues that he will die fearing that Nikki will never amount to anything and is not in the same league as Yamini. As a stunned Nikki receives this information, her father passes away. She just gets up and leaves. When she comes out of the corridor, we see the Nikki of today as she comes and sits on a bench. DK and Ankush are settling the bill at the billing counter and DK tells him about the joint venture. DK and Ankush had invested 5 lakhs each and the project has run in to a loss of Rs 10 Lakhs. To cover the losses, they both need to shell out 5 lakhs more. Ankush is shocked as the demand 20 lakhs from Naushad is still lingering in his head. And then, DK asks him if Ankush can shell out DK's share too as he is a little short. Just when you expect Ankush to throw a shit fit, he looks at DK and tells him; anything for my best friend. Aditi also joins them and Ankush tells DK and Aditi that he has some good news that will cheer everyone up. Ankush mentions that Ripu Daman is coming from Detroit; DK is surprised by the info. but Aditi is stunned. While they are all driving away, Ankush reminds them how Ripu Daman is still the same and asks Aditi if she remembers him. We travel back in time to a different car, where a younger Aditi is in the backseat, pale and weak, covered in a blanket and a guy is ranting about toxic relationships. The guy tells Aditi that for her own sake and sanity, she has to get out of this relationship. How can she be with someone who tortures her, knocks her up and then, doesnt have the balls to come for the abortion. We come to know that Ripu Daman and Aditi are classmates and Aditi is seeing someone in their college. Aditi, too weak to talk, gathers enough courage to express her inability to get out of the relationship and tells Ripu that she is addicted to her boyfriend's presence. She tells him that the boyfriend is one habit that she can never kick, despite trying hard. She asks Ripu to drop her to the boyfriend's place. A pissed off Ripu drops her a nondescript house and DK open the door to let Adi- ti in. We come back to the present time and DK mentions that he cant wait to meet Ripu Daman. Nikki meets Yamini at her house and witnesses a total breakdown. Yamini is running amok and is destroying the furniture. She tells Nikki that her bastard husband is not ready to let go of the slut in his life. She tells Nikki how the slut messaged Parimal last night and he ditched her. Yamini tells Nikki that she knows the homewrecking slut has to be one of the 3 suspects; Parimal's recenty di- vorced colleague Shaina; his college friend Dipali or his boss's extra seductive executive assistant; Sharon. Yamini vows to put a detective on his tail and tells Nikki that the other woman doesnt know who she is messing with and now she will find her and destroy her. Mritunjay takes Kaushiki out on a drive through Ahmedabad and we see the city gearing up for Navratris which are only a couple of days away. Mritunjay and Kaushiki do a little window shop- ping of Chaniya Cholis and Kaushiki is enjoying every bit of the attention. Mritunjay is funny without being crass like Dk and not overtly caring like Ankush and is smart at same time. Mritunjay and Kaushiki go to the Sabarmati promenade and Mritunjay opens up about his life. We see a young boy's POV in a one room house where his sarkaari afsar father goes to the same office in same clothes for many years. Mritunjay tells Kaushiki that all his life, he has seen mediocrity in his father and thats why he decided that he will never settle for anything less than the best. That is why he is India's best MBA college, that is why he is topping every subject and that is why he is with the best girl in the world. Kaushiki and Mritunjay kiss and emboldened by the new development, Mritunjay offers Kaushiki to show her the hostel. As they are making out in Mritunjay's room, someone keeps banging the door. An annoyed Mritun- jay opens the door to find his classmates crying. They tell him that his roomie, Chris, has been found in the bathroom, with his wrists slit. Mritunjay is stunned but then a student tells him it was a suicide and cops are talking about a suicide note, where he has named someone. Mritunjay goes pale.
Thu, Jun 14, 2018
We begin with the autopsy of the body and we see Mritunjay in the hospital, undergoing surgery. We hear Sumer's voice talking about how human being hold so many secrets that half of the questions will be answered by a dead body and the other half by a man whose life is hanging by a thread. We see a crying Rehaan in the interrogation room and Sumer meets Mritunjay in the hospital and tells him point blank that if he saw DK and Aditi with Kaushiki's body, why didn't he come clean in the first go, why did he use this roundabout way of telling the cops that DK and Aditi were last seen with Kaushiki. Mritunajy knows that his proxy server trick is out in the open and he puts up an honest front; telling Sumer that he did see DK and Aditi but he didn't want to snitch on his friends but his conscience didn't allow him to not do anything; Kaushiki was after all his girl friend. Mritunjay breaks downs and says he was so badly in love with Kaushiki that he could let her attackers/abductors/killers walk away. So he devised this clever way of letting the cops know. Sumer is really proud of Mritunjay and tells him that he is a true citizen and he will be rewarded; with a maximum of 10 years in prison. Mritunjay is stumped and he says what? I am not an accessory to Kaushiki's murder. And even if I am, being an accessory is very hard to prove in court. Sumer smiles and tells him; it is not about being an accessory to murder; it is about abetting a suicide. Mritunjay is shocked. Sumer tells him that Chris's parent will not leave any stone unturned to see the guy who made their son jump to his death, behind bars. Mritunjay is now sweating. Sumer tells him that all his friends had reasons to kill Kaushiki but only Mritunjay had the fear of actual imprisonment, so it is better that he comes clean now because Kaushiki's body is found and an autopsy is underway.
Thu, Apr 26, 2018
We see a nondescript room that looks like it belongs to a student. And we see a young guy, dressed in a ganji and a pair of tight jeans. This guy is super good looking and has a pretty face. The hot guy keeps posing in different corners of the room, quite seductively as we see camera flashes. With the last pose, he comes closer to the yet unseen photographer and takes off his ganji and pulls the pho- tographer in frame; it is Chris, Mritunjay's roomie in IIM Hostel. They proceed to make out pas- sionately. And we see the action on a viewfinder as if someone is recording it. Their lovemaking is punctuated with the sound of aarti as in the Patel household, Ankush's mother starts the proceeding for the first day of Navratri. She prays for the well being of her family and to ward off evil but her husband, Parag, is worried about the situation in his company; Patel Brothers & Sons. The food packaging company has been loaning money constantly to Ankush for invest- ments in various businesses and over a few years this "loan" has gone up to 5 crores. Nothing has come off these investments and the board is baying for Parag's blood. On the other hand, Parag's brother; Hitesh and his son, Jignesh have been working extra hard to make a move on the board. And the relations between the Patel brothers are at the lowest and the writing is clear on the wall - if Ankush doesn't up his game and get into the business soon, Parag will have to relinquish his shares and give up control of the company. The mother dismisses his laments as the sounds of the aarti merge in to the sound of a catholic prayer and we see a funeral prayer meeting for Chris. Mritunjay is there with some of the other stu- dents. And we see the hot guy from before crying silently at the funeral. The hot guy and Mritunjay exchanges looks and there is a flicker of recognition. As Mritunjay is leaving the funeral, the Dean of the institute calls Mritunjay over and tells him that cops investigating Chris's suicide have reasons to believe that it was a foul play and someone was responsible to push Chris over the edge. Mritunjay goes pale and the Dean continues that Chris's parents are very resourceful and they will no let up until they find something; so if the cops ever in- vestigate him, just cooperate with them. Mritunjay can sense that danger is lurking. And while the Dean is having a conversation with Mritunjay; we see Mritunjay and Chris's story in 3 distinct flashbacks. In the initial days of Mri and Chris being roomies; Mritunjay was struggling with the pressure of being in IIM and was on the verge of quitting. And throughout his struggle, Chris made fun of him as a loser who didnt deserve to be in the college. Just when Mritunjay is about to leave the college, he chances upon Chris and his boyfriend having sex. Mritunjay records the act and confronts Chris with the video; reminding him that his career is at stake as homosexuality is a crime. Mritunjay starts to blackmail Chris and we see Mritunjay turn from an under confident geeky guy to a badass party animal who manages to top in his class; all because of Chris's efforts. The last thing we see Mritunjay's flashback is that Chris is losing his sanity. Back at the funeral, Mritunjay gets a call from Ankush, asking him to come home for a Navratri lunch but Mritunjay excuses himself by say- ing that he has to study. His classmates overhear him and smirk at his " I have to study" remark while they are standing with Chris's boyfriend. At the Patel residence, the mother is gleefully feeding Ankush, Aditi, Nikki and DK as he flatters her unabashedly, making her blush and the friends giggle. The mother asks them about the new girl in the gang and they build her up; how easily she has become a part of the group as if she was al- ways there. They also mention how Mritunjay and Kaushiki are getting closer. This gives the moth- er an opportunity to push Ankush and Aditi to make shaadi plans since they are so madly in love. They decide to FaceTime her and call her over for lunch but Kaushiki doesnt take the call. We see Kaushiki is standing in the middle of the road by a bus stop or paan shop and very impatient. She keeps cutting the FaceTime call and then reluctantly calls them back, telling them that she is working at the orphanage so cant come. Aditi tells Kaushiki to keep the night free as the girls are planning a sleep over at Nikki's place; planning their costume for Navratri. Kaushiki promises to be there. Kaushiki cuts the call and waits around the corner of a busy street. A White Jaguar drives over and Kaushiki sits in the car and leaves. Back at Ankush's household, Nikki gets a phone call from someone and she leaves and Ankush, DK and Aditi settle in Ankush's room. DK informs Ankush about how the ten lakhs Ankush had given him had been put to work. Ankush wants to know what would be the return and DK tells him about 20 Lakhs. Aditi butts in and says that she has an idea that could multiply the money ten times over but why would you or anyone listen to her because she is a girl; she gives example of how she faces discrimination at work too. DK laughs and says of course why should we listen to you when all we need to do is lech because there is no hotter girl in Ahmedabad. Ankush mock warns him - abbey meri girlfriend pe line mat mar...but this gets Ankush thinking and he says instead of investing such tiny amounts for a risk that gets tiny profits, it is better to invest in a robust scheme that ensures more returns. Since Aditi has been dying to start up on her own; the 3 of them can get in to a venture which will be funded by Ankush. DK and Aditi agree and decide to get the plan ready. Nikki in the meanwhile, goes to a ramshackle hotel, checking for a tail and when she reaches the door, it is answered by her Jiyaji, Parimal who makes sure that she isnt followed by any- one, since Yamini has put a detective on his tail. At the shady hotel, Parimal tells Nikki that he is expecting a big promotion and a move to London and it would be perfect if she can also come to London so this affair can continue. Nikki tells him that she has no intention of keep- ing up this affair more than necessary. Parimal grins and says but what about a new life in London? This makes Nikki think. At the same time Kaushiki steps out of the White Jaguar. She faces a Md. Ali kinda road where there are a few butcher shops and there is a lot of hustle. She steps up to a scary looking butcher and asks where she can get Dubai Visa done and she is sent to the end of the road and she reaches Naushad Tours and Travels. She flashes Ankush's pic on her phone and we see Naushad looking at her blankly.
Thu, Jun 7, 2018
We begin with Sumer's VO about what goes on amongst friends can never come to light if the friends decide to hide stuff from each other and we see all the friends in their own spaces, mulling about the ongoing investigation; we see DK not taking Aditi's calls, Aditi not taking Ripu's calls. But Ripu turns up at Aditi's house and demands to know what DK is still doing in her life; Aditi comes clean in front of Ripu who is disgusted by the truth and says he will not have his childhood friend, Maggie, cuckolded by the scheming bastards. Aditi literally falls at his feet. Ripu leaves, leaving Aditi wondering if he will keep the secret or not. Ripu meets Maggie and tells him that he has something important to tell him. Aditi keeps trying DK but he doesn't answer and Aditi leaves a message on DK's voicemail; cursing him for being a pussy. Ripu in the meantime meets Maggie and tells him that he is going back to the US sooner because this is getting messier by the day; Maggie (fearing repercussion from Naushad) is ok with it. While Ripu is packing, Sumer pays Ripu a friendly visit and gets him talking; and Ripu, who has been waiting to get the DK Aditi secret off his chest, tells Sumer about the DK Aditi affair and how Aditi and DK might be living off Maggie's money. Sumer's mind goes in overdrive and he tries to figure out what can connect DK, Aditi, and Kaushiki. Sumer decides to make his next move when he has evidence and the motive. Sumer is at a local Cafe Coffee Day with Shaadi ka Rishta date when he gets a call from an ethical hacker friend from Delhi. The hacker has been trying to get to the source of the proxy server but its proving difficult. Sumer needs to know WHO has clicked these pictures and is sending them? This is the key to solving this case....he pressurizes the friend to hurry up and crack this one....he calls the shaadi date off midway (the story of his life!!) and sends a team to pick up DK. Another team is sent off to Parag Patel's office to snoop around and get some info. At the station, Aditi is also called in for questioning but she is kept in a separate room with no access. Sumer begins the interrogation; he asks DK what did Kaushiki know about you that you wanted to kill her? DK feigns ignorance and tries his wit against Sumer but Sumer outsmarts him and we find that Sumer is already a champion of the humor based defense mechanism. DK clamps up once he knows that he cant fool Sumer. SI turns up with the info she got from Parag Patel's office.....recently Maggie, DK and Aditi had charted a partnership with Maggie shelling out Rs 20 lakh seed money. Sumer puts 2 and 2 together He braces DK again and questions Aditi alternately and separately but this time; with the pictures and a wild guess about Kaushiki knowing their secret. They both freak out and start blabbering, but against each other. And we see two different POVs of their situation in the party; we see Aditi's version: she was panicking in the party and DK was cool and calculative and told her that he has it under control. In DK's version; DK is seen as a really good guy who is trying to tell Adiiti that they should speak to Kaushiki and try to discuss the matter but Aditi was adamant on removing her from their path. In DK's version; Kaushiki was running out with them but Aditi pushed in a way that she hit her head and fainted. In Aditi's version, Kaushiki got so panicked at the chaos and the bullets flying that she collapsed. Sumer, amused and disgusted by the lack of morals in DK and Aditi finds one of the CCTV footage where DK and Aditi can be seen arguing animatedly and he gets a call from his hacker friend that whoever is sending the emails is really sharp and he is using proxy servers from all over the world; Peru, Japan, Iceland. Sumer knows that he is up against a smart enemy. The hacker promises him the result in 2 hours and Sumer uses this time with DK and Aditi to get them to reconstruct their story. Sumer brings both of them together for the first time and tells (lies) to them that they have found Kaushiki's body and since they were the last two people seen with Kaushiki, they will be proved killer. Now DK and Aditi panic and tell him what happened. We go back in time and see how in the chaos, it was Aditi who drugged Kaushiki and while they were in the car, they noticed that Kaushiki was not moving. They get freaked out thinking that they have accidentally killed her, adding too much drug. A major fight ensues between the both of them about what to do with her and they drop the body in the forest and head back. At the same time, Mritunjay is still being followed by the guy in the black hoodie but this time, as Mritunjay is about to enter his hostel, the guy in the black hoodie makes a move and lunges in Mritunjay with a knife. Mritunjay narrowly escapes and a chaos ensues and the hooded man escapes the scene. But as Mritunjay is being helped by the people in the market; what he doesn't know that the hooded figure gets snatched by the SI who was tailing Mritunjay on Sumer's orders. Sumer gets a call from a hospital and the news is big; the unclaimed body is actually Kaushiki's. Sumer orders the team to get the body and get the autopsy done. He is called by the SI who tells him that Mritunjay was attacked by someone and the attacker is in custody. Sumer is about to interrogate when he gets a call from the hacker that emails were being sent by Mritunjay Sharma. Bewildered, he goes to see the attacker and we find Rehaan sitting there.

Ankush runs away in the bylanes of the dingy roads and knocks at a door. The door opens and it is Naushad. Naushad and his men attend to Ankush's wound and Ankush is livid with anger. He tells Naushad that in the process of getting his Rs. 20 lakhs, he has made some enemies and now they are trying to kill him. Naushad is also worried when he gets to know about the hitmen on Ankush's tail and he promises to help. All this while, Ankush is getting calls from blocked numbers; Naushad looks at the phone and asks him if he is any trouble. Ankush says maybe; maybe not but he doesn't need help to sort this mess. He will handle it himself and become the hunter instead of the hunted. In the meanwhile; Kaushiki, who has just seen Dk and Aditi having a go at each other, is desperately trying to call Ankush but he is not answering the phone. Back at Naushad's place, Ankush's wound is dressed and the phone rings again. Naushad takes one look at the phone and frowns; says that this is the girl who came for a Dubai visa and was asking about you, that's why I asked you before if you have talked to anyone about me. Ankush's mind gets racing as he figures that Kaushiki has been snooping around. Ankush gets the gun and on his way back, he calls Aditi. Aditi's phone starts to ring and we see Aditi and DK in DK's house. They are both panicking; realizing that their secret is out and probably Ankush is already privy to what Kaushiki knows. Aditi doesn't take the call and DK is getting fid- get as a heel. He has an idea to get out of the situation. He thinks that if they sit Kaushiki down and tell her the truth; maybe she will keep quiet and will not divulge the secret o Ankush. But Aditi tells him that the truth is she doesn't love Ankush, she loves DK but more importantly, now she cant afford to lose Ankush and is money because of the proposed venture. She is this close to getting her dream fulfilled and she is not willing to risk it. For her it is a matter of life and death; literally. Back at the pandal, it is Kaushiki and Mritunjay who are trying to look for Aditi, DK and Ankush. Kaushiki is really really troubled. Mritunjay asks her what is wrong with her, Kaushiki tells him there is something wrong with all the friends; they have been keeping secrets. Mritunjau laughs it off and says almost everyone has a secret, even you. Kaushiki, really angry by the tone, takes out her phone and gives it Mritunjay and says; look for a secret in my life. Mritunjay immediately pacifies her and takes Kaushiki's phone to click her pictures. While he is making her pose, the phone beeps and it is a mail from an anonymous email id. Mritunjay is about to ignore it but he notices the subject of the mail; CHRIS. Intrigued, he opens the mail without telling Kaushiki and reads it. It has just one line; if you want to know why Chris killed himself, meet me at Starbucks, day after, 6 pm. Mritunjay goes pale. Kaushiki decides that there is no point in waiting for the friends to turn and it is better to go home. She decides to go home but while she is leaving; she sees Nikki, Yamini, and Parimal near the pandaa. She confronts Nikki and says she knows everything about Nikki and Parimal and their Lon- don plans and she says for someone who has been crying about her sister, Nikki is a ruthless bitch for doing what she is doing. Nikki tells her to mind her own fucking business but Kaushiki tells her this charade will run out of steam and what if someone tells your sister about all that. Now it is Nikki's turn to beg and she convinces Kaushiki that she will come clean with her sister tonight. Kaushiki reluctantly believes her and leaves. Ankush is at home, late at night, drinking and playing with the gun and he gets a facetime call from Ripu Daman from Dubai. Ripu is super excited and tells him that he is reaching the next day and he hopes the iconic last day party like earlier days and Ankush, looking at the gun, tells him that the party will be indeed epic. The last thing we see is Kaushiki leaving the Durga Pooja Pandaal alone with the huge Dirga idol in the background and the aarti behind her are reaching a crescendo.

We begin with a new voiceover; a male/female (depending on the star) voice over; it talks about Dussera; an auspicious day for many reasons but primarily for the triumph of good over evil. And while we see the elements of Dussera (B-roll from Mumbai), we hear the VO talk about; but I didnt have any idea about the quantum of evil coming my way and finding the truth will be the biggest challenge of my life. It all started with a party and a guy called Ripu. We see Maggie at his home, waiting for Ripu and he calls DK and tells him there is something about one of his friends troubling him; DK is immediately on guard as he thinks MAggie is talking about him and Aditi. DK talks roundabout to get to know what Maggie is talking about but MAggie says not now; but tonight at the party he wants to talk to DK and Aditi about something. DK, shitting bricks, says ok. We see Ripu being greeted by Maggie who is clearly very excited about the party and finally reveals the gifts; 5 high end GoPros; also a bday gift. He tells Maggie that his friends back in US want to know how their Indian counterparts party; Maggie send 1 GoPro to Nikki; 1 to Kaushiki, 1 to Mritunjay; 1 he keeps for himself and Aditi and 1 stays with Ripu. In the mean time, DK who is with Aditi, is panicking; we now see the weak side of DK who is a lost puppy and Aditi is in charge. She tells him not to fret; she has it covered. Mritunjay receives the GoPro at the pool and while he is swimming, he keeps getting flashes of the mail and the possibility of him being blamed for Chris's death. He looks around and finds a girl crying to her dad; I dont want to swim; I will drown. Nikki calls on Kaushiki who is surprised to see her; Nikki says; ride with me to the party. They have their cams; on helmet and on the scooty/bike. While riding, Kaushiki asks her if she spoke to Yamini and NIkki switches off the cam and they stop for a cup of tea. Nikki tells her that she came clean last night; her sister threw a fit. But she assures Kaushiki that thanks to her; some ugliness has left her life as the sisters will finally rally around each other. Kuashiki is super happy to hear all this. As Nikki and Kaushiki take off, they are followed by a guy on a bike in a black hoodie. A little ahead on the highway, a maruti van is speeding with 2 guys in it and they are listening to music and generally happy. The van is flagged down by a man on the road and once the van stops, he comes over to ask for directions to the party villa. The drivers smiles and says that they are also going there, come join us. The man takes out a gun and another man appears on the other window and says; not any more and hits him with the gun's butt. The van stops at the party villa and 2 tough looking men get down with pots of biryanis; they tell the guards that they are the caterers team. they go inside the kitchen and as they open the pot of the biryanis; they take out guns and stick them in their pants. At the Villa; people start streaming in; everyone wishing Maggie when Aditi arrives. Ripu and Aditi meet each other with exuberance but while hugging Aditi, Ripu notices DK also coming in. He is stunned but Aditi manages to tell him to keep quiet and she will explain. MAggie introduces Ripu and DK and Ripu is a little cold to DK. Nikki, Kaushiki and Mritunjay also get introduced to Ripu and soon the party is in full swing. The 2 intense waiters are serving the food and drinks and keep an eye on the proceedings while we see a floater in the party; the guy in the black hoodie. Ripu is getting drunk-er by the minute and is having a ball, using her camera to film a ditzy girl; Neetu, who is acting all cool for Ripu's camera. Kaushiki mentions to Maggie that Ripu seems like a good guy and Maggie touches his gun, saying cryptic stuff like these days you never know who is good or who is bad. In the meanwhile; we see Nikki switches off her cam and goes to the bar and starts chatting up a hot guys; they talk as if they have chatted online before; some cool flirtatious behaviour follows which ends abruptly when she asks the hottie Yohan for her 'stuff'. He gives her a tiny bottle. DK and Aditi find some time alone to talk in the bathroom about their plan but keep on getting interrupted by rowdy revellers. Maggie finds an excuse to take Kaushiki to the rooftop where Kaushiki talks about how he is surrounded by people who arent what they seem; but Maggie can only hear his hearbeat while fidgeting with his gun. After a bit; the time is to cut the cake and Mritunjay asks Maggie if he has seen Kaushiki. Maggie says no but Kaushiki arrives to the scene and all the friends are standing together waiting for the cake to be wheeled and just then, we see the guy in the black hoodie switch off the light. The waiter take this moment to open fire towards where Maggie and Kaushiki are standing. Maggie returns fire in panic. 4 shots ring out and there is chaos. DK and Kaushiki grab Kaushiki's hand (since she is standing with them and it seems that they are trying to pull her to safety) ?????? and pull her with them as Maggie instinctively covers Ripu. Sometime later, as the junior cops reach the situation; they find Mritunjay come running to the Villa. When asked where was he; he says he had gone to find Kaushiki; who is gone missing. Mritujay is hysterical. And the junior cops go down where the first scene happens again as Sumer Singh joins and the cops inform him that 1 girl is missing. Mritunjay is doing full drama; someone please find KAushiki. he calls out the 5 friends and tells them to inform their parents; it is time to investigate. As he looks at the 5 friends; his VO talks about rich, educated smart kids; it will be difficult to find who is evil and who is not.
