Mehandi function (opening credits with a song)

Its kajal mehandi and various shots of her getting ready and looking all happy, how all her
friends and family are also very happy and shots to establish how happy she is and everything
she ever wanted is finally happening
The film begins with a sweet looking 17 year old boy, Chintu, waiting outside a Udipi restaurant.
You know he's been waiting for sometime 'cause he looks bored and even looks at his watch a
couple of times.
Suddenly, a plain but pretty looking 23 yr old girl with long hair and wearing a salwar
kameez, Kajal, walks out of the restaurant hurriedly. AND, she's crying uncontrollably.
Chintu is shocked to see her crying.
Chintu (approaching her, very concerned): What happened?
She doesn't answer, she continues crying and walks past him hurriedly. Chintu follows her,
looking worried.
Chintu (following Kajal): Didi......didi
Kajal stops an auto and quickly gets in, Chintu gets in too.
Chintu (to the auto guy): Friends colony.
Chintu (very concerned, to Kajal): What happened?
Kajal doesnt answer, she is crying uncontrollably.
CUT TO:
A college classroom. A lecture is in progress.
As the professor turns to write on the blackboard, a cute looking guy, Vivek, taps the shoulder of
the girl sitting in front of her and gives her a note and gestures her to pass it on.
The girl hands it to a guy sitting in front of her who then passes it on to the guy sitting in front of
him who then passes it to the girl sitting in front of him, who happen to be Kajal, who is much
younger looking now.

She opens the note and it says 'Coffee?' She looks back and Vivek smiles at her, she gives him a
dirty look and crushes the note.
CUT TO:
Kajal in the library.
She is at the book shelves looking for a book.
She takes out a book and on the other side of the shelf is Vivek's face, staring right at her.
Vivek (very sweetly): Tea?
Kajal ignores him and keeps the book back, blocking his face.
CUT TO:
Kajal sitting in the library.
Vivek quietly comes and sits opposite her.
Vivek (whispering): Ice-tea?
CUT TO:
The college indoor staduim.
Kajal is watching a college basket ball match. Vivek is sitting behind her. It's loud as everyone is
cheering the players.
Vivek (leaning towards her ear and shouting): FRESH LIME SODA?
Kajal just rolls her eyes.
CUT TO:
Kajal sitting with her friends on the lawn of the college.
Suddenly she gets a message on her cellphone. It's a message from Vivek and it says 'Pepsi?'
Kajal quietly smiles to herself, a minor smile. She is softening up.

CUT TO:
College chemistry lab.
The chemistry practical class in in progress. Kajal wearing a lab coat is pouring a liquid in a test
tube.
Opposite her Vivek, also in a lab coat, is doing the same.
Vivek (very sweetly): Soup?
Kajal looks at him for a few seconds, there is a hint of smile on her face as she shakes her head
almost to say, 'you never give up, do you?'
Kajal (after a pause, softly): Which soup?
Vivek (excited): Manchow.
Kajal (with a smile): Sweet and sour.
Vivek (nodding with a smile): Sweet and sour.
Kajal: But.....
Vivek: But?
Kajal: I'm not allowed to go out alone.
Vivek (taken aback): What do you mean?
CUT TO:
A Chinese restaurant. We hear the sound of a Chinese gong.
Kajal is sitting opposite Vivek and next to Kajal is Chintu, who is now 12.
All three of them are having sweet and sour soup.
CUT TO:

Kajal and Chintu in the auto where we had left them, with Kajal still crying her heart out.
Chintu looks worried, he doesn't know why his sister is crying. He takes out his cellphone and
calls a number.
Chintu: Hello maa.
Mom: Haan, where are you both?
Chintu (ignoring her question): Didi is crying?
Mom (taken aback): Crying? Why, what happened?
Chintu: I don't know.
Mom: Give her the phone.
Chintu tries to give the phone to Kajal.
Chintu: Maa, wants to talk to you.
Kajal refuses to take the call.
Chintu (to Kajal): Didi please talk to her.
Kajal refuses and continues crying.
Chintu (to his mom): She's not taking the phone.
Mom: Where are you?
Chintu: We're on our way home.
Mom: Ok, get here quickly.
CUT TO:
Kajal and Vivek enjoying a movie in a theatre.

Kajal has a bag of popcorn in her hand. Suddenly a hand comes from out of frame and takes
some of the popcorn.
Camera pulls back to reveal Chintu, now maybe 13, is also there with them.
Kajal and Chintu are laughing since it's a funny movie, but Vivek doesn't look very happy as he
looks at Chintu.
CUT TO:
Kajal's house.
You can see that a wedding preparation is in full swing. Various people are doing various jobs,
the flower guys are putting up the flowers, the light guys are fixing the lights, the mandap guys
are putting up a mandap.
In the corner of a house, we see Kajal's parents discussing something, both looking serious.
Dad: Did she say anything?
Mom: She didn't come on the phone.
Suddenly Kajal comes running in crying, with Chintu following her.
Kajal is running upto to her room.
Mom (following her): Kajal....KAJAL....What happened?
But Kajal doesn't look back, she runs into her room and closes the door.
Mom (to Dad): Call Mr. Sinha.
CUT TO:
Inside Kajal's room.
Kajal, is lying on the bed, face down, still crying.
We hear her mom knocking on the door hard.

Mom's voice: Kajal open up......What happened beta?.....Will you please say something.
Kajal doesn't answer or open the door.
CUT TO:
Again, a much younger looking Kajal and Chintu outside an apartment building.
Kajal: Stay here, I'm going up to meet Renu, I'll be back soon.
Chintu (irritated): Why do you have to meet Renu every Sunday morning?
Kajal looks at him for a second or two and then takes out her purse and gives him 10 bucks.
Chintu looks very happy now.
Chintu (with a mischievous smile): You should meet Renu everyday.
Kajal gives him a mock dirty look.
CUT TO:
The 4 floor landing.
We see Kajal run up the stairs. She goes to one of the apartment door, opens it with a key and
walks in.
Inside Vivek and his 2 friends are fast asleep in the living room after a night of drinking. The
room is a mess with pizza boxes and beer bottles everywhere. One of his friends has his hand
inside his underwear and a smile on his face. Kajal makes a face and looks away.
The TV is still on, a man on Asian Sky Shop channel is selling a abs machine.
Kajal picks up the remote and puts the TV off. As soon as the TV goes off, all 3 guys wake up
with a start.
CUT TO:
Vivek and his 2 friends sitting at the breakfast table.
Kajal emerges from the kitchen and serves them omlettes.

1st friend (to Kajal, gobbling down the omlette): No one makes omlettes better than you.
Kajal (with a proud smile): Thank you.
2nd friend (to Kajal, gobbling down the omlette): Do you have a younger sister?
Kajal: No.
2nd friend: Older sister?
Kajal: No.
Vivek (to the 2nd friend): Her mom is cute and she can make omlettes.
Kajal slaps the back of Vivek's head hard.
Kajal (to 2nd friend): Don't worry if your friend here doesn't propose to me in next 3 months,
we'll hook up.
2nd friend (extending his hand): Deal.
Kajal (shaking his hand): Deal.
She then goes back into the kitchen.
1st friend (to Vivek): You have 3 months buddy.
2nd friend (loudly, to Kajal who's now in the kitchen): What do you see in this guy anyway?
Kajal (from inside the kitchen): Money.
And everyone laughs, except Vivek who sitting there looking left out.
Vivek gives both his friends a dirty look, they instantly stop smiling. Vivek then gets up and
goes into the kitchen, where Kajal is.
Suddenly the atmosphere is serious as both the friends look at each other, as they quietly eat their
breakfast.

After a few seconds, Kajal comes running from the kitchen to where the 2 friends are sitting, she
has a butter knife in one hand and a toast in the other.
Kajal (very seriously): Guess what?
Both friends look at her with a questioning look on their faces.
Kajal (almost screaming with excitment): He PROPOSED.
Both friends (surprised): What??
Kajal (loudly): HE PROPOSED, YOU IDIOTS.
Vivek cooly comes and stands behind her, leaning against the wall and eating a toast.
Kajal starts running all over the living room, over the sofa, the chairs etc, screaming in
excitement, with a butter knife in one hand and a toast in the other.
CUT TO:
Kajal at the tailors giving measurements for a dress. And as usual Chintu is standing outside the
shop.
Suddenly her cellphone rings, it's Vivek
Kajal (with a big smile): Hi sweetie.
Vivek: Where are you?
Kajal: At the tailor's. Why?
Vivek (after a pause): Are you free to meet for a few minutes?
Kajal (smiling): Sure, anything for my future hubby.
CUT TO:
Kajal's house.

It's late in the night and Kajal's dad and mom are sitting at the dinner table, looking glum. The
small wedding decoration lights are shining outside.
Mom (angry): How can they do this? The wedding is 3 days away, all the cards have gone
out.....I think you should talk to Vivek directly.
Dad: I told Mr. Sinha I wanted to talk to him but he said it's not a good idea 'cause he's upset
too.
Mom (very angry): HE'S upset? What is HE upset about? If there's anyone who should be upset
it should be Kajal.
Silence for a few seconds as both of them wonder what to do.
Mom (concerned): She hasn't eaten all day.
Dad: Has she even come out of her room?
Mom shakes her head, indicating 'no'. Her eyes are wet with tears.
Silence for a few seconds.
Dad: What will the people say?
Mom (irritated): All you worry about is what people will say, why don't you, for once, worry
about your daughter.
CUT TO:
Kajal and Vivek at a Udipi restaurant. Vivek is in formal office clothes. He's meeting Kajal
during his lunch break.
Vivek (very apologetic): I'm sorry.
Kajal (almost in tears and in shock): Who...who is she?.....Do I know her?
Viveks shakes his head.
Silence for a few seconds as Kajal tries to make sense of it all.

Kajal (her eyes wet with tears): And how long has this being going on?
Vivek: Three....Three months.
Kajal (with disbelief and tears start rolling down her cheeks): Three months???
And tears start rolling down her face.
Vivek places his hand on hers, she takes her hand away.
Kajal (almost shouting with anger and hurt): 3 months? And you tell me this 3 days before our
marriage?
Vivek: I'm sorry.
Long pause.
Kajal (tears rolling down her cheeks): Do you love her?
Vivek doesn't say anything, he just looks away.
Vivek's silence tells Kajal the answer. She looks absolutely heartbroken. It's too much for her,
she bursts out crying loudly and gets up and walks out.
Vivek (following her): Kajal....KAJAL.
But Kajal doesn't look back. She continues walking.
CUT TO:
Outside the Udipi restaurant. Chintu is waiting for Kajal.
Suddenly he sees Kajal walking out of the restaurant crying.
CUT TO:
Kajal, her dad, mom and Chintu driving somewhere late in the night, everyone is quiet.
Kajal's dad is driving, Kajal is sitting next to him, looking out and looking lost and sad. Kajal's
mom and Chintu are in the back seat.

There is a sign saying take a right for 'Indira Gandhi International Airport'.
The car takes a right
CUT TO:
The dinner table scene where Kajal's mom and dad were sitting and having a chat.
Suddenly Kajal's door opens and Kajal walks out.
You can see that's seen been crying all day, her eyes are red. But there is a certain calmness and
determination about her.
She quietly sits down on one of the chairs on the dinner table.
Her mom and dad look slightly relieved that she at least got out of her room.
She looks at them. They both look back at her, waiting for her to say something.
Kajal (after a long pause and very matter of factly): I'm going on my honeymoon.
Both mom and dad exchange a surprised look.
Mom: Honeymoon?
Dad: If there is no marriage, where is the question of a honeymoon?
Pause as Kajal looks at both of them.
Kajal (very matter of factly): I'm going alone.
Both mom and dad, again, exchange a shocked look.
Mom (surprised): You want to go on your honeymoon alone?
Kajal: Yes.
Mom (trying to be calm): But....but how can you go on your honeymoon alone beta?

Dad (a little angry): Sitting in that room all day has made you senile.......You don't know what
you're talking about.
Kajal (very determined): I've made up my mind dad, I'm going.
Mom: This is ridiculous, a girl who's never been out of Delhi, who takes her brother everywhere
she goes, now wants to go to Europe ALONE???
Dad: You're not going anywhere.
Pause as Kajal looks at her parents.
Kajal (with finality in her voice): I'm leaving the day after.
CUT TO:
To earlier scene where all 4 of them in the car.
We see them entering the departure area of Indira Gandhi International Airport.
CUT TO:
Kajal's dad taking out her suitcase from the car boot.
Mother (to Kajal): Why are you doing this?......Let's go home, I'll make you parathas.
Kajal: Maaaa....
Dad (closing the car boot): Do you have your passport and ticket?
Kajal: Yes dad.....This is the 3rd time you've asked me that.
Kajal then looks at everyone, all set. All 3 look back at her, hoping that she has a last minute
change of mind. But no such luck, as Kajal hugs her mom.
Kajal (hugging mom): Ok maa
Mother (hugging her back and almost in tears): Take care sweetheart......Eat apples everyday.
Kajal then hugs her dad.

Kajal (hugging dad): Bye dad.

Dad (hugging her back): Call once you reach......Did you take the phone charger?
Kajal: YES dad.
Kajal then hugs Chintu.
Kajal (hugging Chintu): Be good, partner.
Chintu (hugging her back): I'll try, ditcher.
Kajal then picks up her suitcase and walks towards the entrance.
As she reaches the entrance, she turns back and sees all 3 still waiting and they wave goodbye to
her.
She gestures them to go home, all 3 turn to go.
CUT TO:
Inside the airport.
Kajal slowly and nervously walks in, and she's wearing what she always wears, a salwar kameez.
The CREDITS start.
The credits run over the following scenes:
Kajal is overwhelmed by the huge airport and looks lost, she has no idea where to go.
She stops a man and asking him something, the man points to the Air France counter.
Kajal slowly walks towards the ticket counter. As she's walking, she looks to her right and she
suddenly stops.
She sees her mom, dad and Chintu standing pressed against the wall (on the outside), looking at

Woman behind the counter (handing Kajal her boarding pass): Gate number 3, boarding begins
at 1:30.
Kajal (questioningly): Ga...Gate number 3?
Woman behind the counter: Yeah, go right, straight down.
Kajal starts walking to the right. As she's walking, she looks to her left and she can't believe what
shes seeing.

CUT TO:
The cockpit.
One of the pilots is reading the last minute check-list, the other pilot is repeating what the first
pilot is saying and flipping switches and turning the knobs.
CUT TO:
Kajal in her seat, looking panicky. The other passengers have taken their seats too.
Kajal can't take it anymore. She is almost in tears. She quickly gets up, opens the overhead
compartment, takes her bag out and starts to walk out. The camera stays next to her seat, as we

watch her from the back, walking past the rows of seats towards the entrance of the plane. She

she very slowly opens her eyes, her palms let go off the arms rests slowly and she looks slightly
relieved.
She then slowly looks at the empty seat next to her, where Vivek would have been sitting. She
looks a little sad, she's thinking about Vivek and what they shared, you can see it in her eyes.
She then very slowly turns her head and looks out of the window for the first time.
She sees the tiny lights of the edge of Delhi way way below.
The camera goes closer to the window and outside where it's pitch dark. The screen fades to

CUT TO
The cab finally comes and parks outside a grand hotel.
CUT TO:
Inside the grand lobby of a beautiful and expensive looking hotel.
Through the glass door, we can see Kajal paying the cabbie. She then walks in and is
immediately taken in by this beautiful and grand hotel, the high ceiling, the paintings on the wall,
the antique furniture, the plush carpet, the broad staircase going up. Every inch of the lobby is
screamiing luxury.
She slowly makes her way to the reception desk, her eyes still checking out the lobby.
Man behind the desk: Bonjour.
Kajal (nervously): Hi....My name is Kajal, I have a reservation in the name Mr. & Mrs. Sinha.
Man behind the desk (In a French accent): One moment please.

He then searches the computer for a few seconds.

Man behind the desk (Still looking at his computer sceen): Mr. & Mrs......
Kajal: Sinha....S-I-N-H-A.
Man behind the desk (After a few seconds and looking up): I'm sorry madame, your reservation
is cancelled.
Kajal (completely taken by surprise): Cancelled??......Who...who cancelled it?
Man behind the desk: Your husband, Mr. Sinha.
Kajal: But I'm not married.
Man behind the desk (surprised): You're not Mrs. Sinha?
Kajal (confused about what to say): No.....Yes.....No.
The man behind the desk is confused, he looks at the Kajal wondering what's going on. So do the
other people waiting near the reception desk.
Kajal looks embarassed and frustrated. She just picks up her suitcase and walks out of the hotel.
She stands outside the hotel, not knowing what to do or where to go. She looks worried and
confused.
She runs back into the hotel and to the reception desk.
Kajal (pleading): Is there any other room you can give me?
Man behind the desk: Sorry madame, we are full till September.
CUT TO:
Chintu in his room in Delhi.

He's on the computer, surfing a soft porn site, you can see a picture of a semi nude woman on his
screen. And Chintu semi nude too, he is sitting bare bodied and in his shorts and is getting
majorly turned on.
Suddenly his cellphone which is on the computer table starts ringing. Without taking his eyes off
the computer screen, he reaches for the phone and picks it up.
Kajal (on the other side): Chintu.
Chintu (excited to hear her voice but realising the bad timing): DIDI......One sec, one sec.
He then puts the phone down, wears his jeans, puts on a tshirt, minimises the porn site window
and then picks up the phone again.
Chintu (feeling better now): Are you calling from Paris?
Kajal (on the other side): Ya.
Chintu (excited): Wow....How is it?
Kajal (sounding very down): I lost my suitcase.
Chintu (surprised): Already?? I thought it would take you a few days.
Kajal (on the other side): Please don't tell maa and dad, they'll get worried.
Chintu: I won't. What happened.
CUT TO:
Earlier shot of Kajal outside the hotel, not knowing what to do or where to go. Looking worried
and confused.
A super appears on the screen which says: 5 minutes earlier.
Kajal runs back into the hotel and to the reception desk.
Kajal (pleading): Is there any other room you can give me?
Man behind the desk: Sorry madame, we are full till September.

She walks out, dejected. And then, her face changes colour and she looks horrified.
She had left her suitcase out when she ran into the hotel and now the suitcase is gone.
She looks around frantically but it's nowhere to be seen. It's gone.
CUT TO:
Kajal standing in a cute and very narrow cobbled stoned lane, next to the hotel. She's on the
phone (continuing the conversation with Chintu)
Kajal (almost in tears): All my clothes are gone.....What am I gonna do?
Chintu (on the other side): You have your passport and money with you?
Kajal: Ya, they are in my handbag.
Chintu: Ok, I have good news for you.
Kajal (surprised): What?
Pause.
Chintu (excited): You'll have to buy new clothes.
Kajal (surprised): New clothes? Are you crazy?
Chintu: Ok fine, spend your entire holiday in one salwar kameez and spoil India's name.
Pause as Kajal thinks. Till now all her shopping been limited to buying salwar kameez's with her
mom in Delhi. And now she has to buy new clothes alone and that too in Paris. The idea terrifies
her and yet, excites her in a way.
Kajal (after a pause): Alright, I guess I have no other option.....And one more thing?
Chintu: What?
Pause.

Kajal: Put the computer on and find me a hotel room.

CUT TO:
Kajal standing at the reception desk of a dingy looking hotel.
A man behind a reception desk is writing down Kajal's passport details. While he's doing that,
Kajal looks around the so called lobby. And she clearly looks disappointed, it's the complete
opposite of the grand lobby of the earlier hotel. It's small, bare and almost shabby. Even the
guy behind the desk looks like he'd rather be somewhere else.
Man behind the desk (handing Kajal her passport back and the room key): Room no. 402.
Kajal (taking her passport and room key): Thank you.
She then turns around to go to her room but she can't seem to find something she's looking for.
Kajal (turning around and asking the man behind the counter): Elevator?
Man behind the desk (looking up from his newspaper): No elevator, only steps.
Kajal walks towards the staircase and looks up. It's a spiral staircase and the 4th floor seems a
long way up.
Kajal (to herself): Thank God my suitcase was stolen.
And then starts climbing.
CUT TO:
The door of room no. 402 from inside the room.
Suddenly the door opens and Kajal walks in and her face changes, you can see the look of
extreme disappointment on her face.
CUT TO:
The room from Kajal's point of view.

You can see why she's disappointed. The room is like the lobby, very small, bare, almost shabby,
there is a small wardrobe, a single bed, a wooden chair, tacky wall paper on the walls and what
looks to be a long window with tacky curtains on it.
And thanks to the thin walls, we can hear a couple making out in the next room, the bed creaking
and loud moans. Kajal stops for a second to listen to them and then just rolls her eyes. She then
keeps her handbag on the table and gently lies down on the bed.
She's tired, she's had a long and eventful morning and it's 2 in the afternoon now. She's looks
almost relieved to be lying down and there's a small sense of achievement in her eyes. As the
moaning and bed creaking in the next room continues.
The screen slowly fades to black.
FADE IN TO:
Kajal still lying in bed, she slowly opens her eyes.
The room is dark, except for some street lamp light which is coming through the curtains on the
long window. She looks at the watch. It's 10 in the night. She can't believe that she just dozed off
to sleep for so long.
Kajal (quickly getting up): Shit.
Now the couple next door are fighting loudly. There is a full blown screaming match going on in
German. We then hear the sound of the door opening and shutting (the guy leaving), the woman
is still screaming at him loudly.
Kajal, smiles to herself, shakes her and walks to the curtains where the light is coming and parts
the curtains. To her surprise, it's not a long window but a glass door. She opens it and in front of
her is large sized balcony, which she didn't expect in THIS sort of a room or hotel. She
slowly steps into the balcony.
The breeze flies her hair back and slowly her mouth half opens and her eyes widen. The kind of
look you have on your face when you're mesmerised with something beautiful, something you
can't describe in words.
In front of her and across the street is the Seine river and the Notre Dame all lit up and looking
stunning, couples are walking hand in hand by the river, two young women are skating on the
pavement, there's a small crowd of people singing along to a song being played by a bunch of

musicians on the other side of the river bank, below her balcony on the street people are eating,
drinking wine and laughing, people on the night river cruise boats wave to her and she half
waves to them. It's like she's in wonderland, it all looks and feels magical.
She just stands there for sometime taking it all in. Suddenly she runs in and comes back with her
camera.
She then turns her back to the street, raises the camera with her right hand, gives a fake 'camera
smile' and takes a picture of herself with the Notre Dame in the background. She then looks at
the picture and makes a face.
CUT TO:
The display sceen on the camera.
Most of her head is out of the frame and all you can see is her fake 'camera smile' and tiny bit of
the Notre Dame.
We pull back and see Kajal getting ready to try again.
She raises the camera and gives a fake 'camera smile'.
Suddenly the balcony door of the next room is flung open and a wild but cute looking girl, with
tattoo's and short blonde hair, wearing only her lingerie walks out to the balcony. She has a
cigarette in one hand which she is smoking furiously and an apple in the other hand. And she
looks angry and is muttering to herself in German.
Kajal is distracted and stops taking the picture and looks at the German girl, Kajal has never seen
a woman like this before. And she's shocked that she's standing in the balcony with only her
lingerie on. They both exchange a look.
German girl (in European accent): Do you have a boyfriend?
Kajal (taken aback and shaking her head): No
German girl (angry, smoking the cigarette): Good.....All men are bastards.
Kajal doesn't know what to say, she nods slightly, with a hint of a smile.

Suddenly the German girl looks down from her balcony and shouts at someone below in
German.
Kajal looks down and sees a guy outside the hotel with a suitcase. The guy ignores what the
German girl said and starts walking.
Kajal: Is that your....boyfriend?
German girl takes a drag of the cigarrette and nods, indicating yes.
Kajal: Did you ask him to come back?
German girl (taking a bite of the apple): No, I told him he has a small dick.
Kajal looks shocked, she puts her hand on her mouth and looks a little amused. She's never heard
anyone say that.
German girl: You treat them like shit and they run after you, you treat them nicely and they run
after some other bitch.....Picture?
Kajal: Huh??
German girl: Do you want me to take your picture?
Kajal realises that she is holding a camera in her hand.
Kajal: Can you?
German girl: Yes, no problem.....Throw the camera.
Their balconies are not very close. Kajal looks down and it's a long way down.
The German girl sees that the Kajal is worried that the camera might fall down.
German girl: Ok....wait.
And she looks down and waits, Kajal wonders what she's doing.
After a few seconds, the German girl sees a guy walking below their balconies.

German girl (calling out loudly to the guy below in French): MONSIEUR?
Man stops and looks up.
German girl (loudly in French): MON AMI EST EN ME JETANT UN APPAREIL PHOTO, SI
ELLE TOMBE, JE VEUX QUE TO LE CAPTURES.
Man below (still looking up): OUI OUI.
The German girl holds the apple between her teeth and gestures Kajal to throw the camera. Kajal
is still not sure, she looks down.
CUT TO:
The man below looking up and standing with his hands up in a catching position. He looks very
enthusiastic.
CUT TO:
Kajal thinks what the hell and throws the camera across. The German girl catches it and points it
towards Kajal.
German girl: Say cheese.
Kajal poses and gives her fake 'camera smile'. The German girl takes the picture and without
warning throws the camera back to Kajal who manages to catch it with great difficulty.
Kajal: Thank you.
German girl: No problem.....Apple?
Kajal: No, I'm going out for dinner.
German girl: Bon apetit.
Kajal smiles and goes back into her room.
CUT TO:

Kajal still in her salwar kameez, stepping out of the hotel, which is on the Left Bank, on a
bustling small cobbled stone street full of bars packed with people.
We see that the man is still standing and looking up with hands outstretched, in a catching
position. A small crowd is gathered around him, some people are looking at him and some are
looking up, wondering what's happened.
Kajal's a little nervous and tentative as she walks down the street. Her curfew back home is 7 and
she has to be accompanied by Chintu and now here she is walking the streets of a foreign city
alone at 10 in the night.
As she's walking down the street a bunch of young boys are walking towards her. And they all
check her out as they pass her.
One of the boys (directed at Kajal): D'o vous tiez-vous cach?
The other boys start laughing.
Kajal gets a little unnerved and quickens her pace. She comes to a big street which is running
parallel to the river. The street is full of restaurants with large sitting areas outside facing the
road and the river.
Kajal nervously approaches a restaurant, she walks to the entrance but sees that it's packed with
people. The thought of walking into a restaurant full of people and eating alone, terrifies her.
Feeling intimidated, she walks out and goes to the next restaurant. The next restaurant is packed
too. Disappointed and very hungry, she walks away.
CUT TO:
Kajal walking below, on the banks of the river, eating M&M's. Suddenly she spots a large boat
restaurant which is on the river. She slowly walks up the wooden gangplank. And she sees that
it's a cute little restaurant on a boat with great views of the Notre Dame and small lamps on the
tables. And, it's not packed at all. Quickly a waiter approaches her.
Waiter: Bonjour....One persone?
Kajal: Yes.
Waiter: This way please.

Kajal follows him and he leads her to the best table on the boat, right next to the water and
politely gestures with his hand that this is your table. Kajal sits down, looking pleased with what
she's stumbled upon. The waiter disappears for a few seconds and comes back with the menu.
Waiter (handing her the menu): Viola.
And he disappears again.
Kajal looks at the menu and it's all in French. She looks confused about what to order. So she
closes her eyes and slowly brings her finger down on the menu. She then opens her eyes and
looks at the dish her finger landed on.
Just then the waiter comes back.
Waiter: Are you ready to order madame?
Kajal (with her finger still on the dish): Yes.....This one.
Waiter: Oui.
He then writes it down on his pad.
Waiter (to himself as he writes it down): Une portion d'escargots.
Waiter (to Kajal): Anything to drink?
Kajal: No...thank you.
The waiter takes the menu and leaves.
Kajal feels proud that she's managed to find a great little restaurant with a great view. She looks
at the beautiful sight of the Notre Dame and the river next to her and then quickly takes her
camera out and takes pictures of the Notre Dame. She then turns around, so her back is to the
Notre Dame, raises the camera, gives a fake 'camera smile' and takes a picture. She then looks at
the picture and makes a face.
CUT TO:
The display sceen on the camera.

This time, the bottom half of her head is out of the frame. All you can see is her forehead and
hair and tiny bit of the top of the Notre Dame.
We pull back to see her looking disappointed and keeping the camera on the table. She then turns
towards the river to see a boat passing by.
For the first time since she's arrived, she's got some time to think. So naturally, her thoughts go
back to Vivek and what happened to her and before she starts feeling miserable, she hears the
waiter's voice. She turns.
Waiter (keeping the plate in front of her): Une portion d'escargots.
Kajal (looking at the waiter): Thank you.
She then looks at the plate in front of her and she freezes and makes a face of disgust.
CUT TO:
A plate of snails on Kajal's table.
CUT TO:
Kajal still looking disgusted and is about to throw up. She tries to control but she can't, she
throws up in the river, making noises. And everyone turns to look at her. Kajal looks
embarrassed and throws up more.
CUT TO:
A Japanese tourist on a river cruise boat passing by spotting Kajal throwing up.
Japanese tourist (very excitedly, in Japanese): Look, a girl is throwing up.
30 other Japanese tourists turn excitedly and quickly start taking pictures of Kajal who is still
throwing up.
CUT TO:
Kajal and the German girl sitting in the German girl's balcony, on the floor, and eating apples.
Both look lost. Of course, the German girl is still wearing only her lingerie.

Kajal (looking straight ahead): My mother would like you.

German girl (looking straight ahead): Really? Why?
Kajal (biting into her apple and looking straight ahead): Because you like apples.
Silence for a few seconds as they continue to eat their apples, and then:
German girl (extending her hand but still looking straight ahead): Julia.
Kajal (shaking her hand but still looking straight ahead): Kajal.
Silence again for a few seconds as they continue eating their apples.
Kajal (after a pause and still looking straight ahead and sounding a little apologetic): I need your
help.
Julia (turning her head and looking at Kajal): My help?
Kajal, still looking straight ahead, nods her head.
Julia (looking at Kajal and wondering): For what you need my help?
Kajal slowly turns her head and looks at Julia.
CUT TO:
The next day, Kajal and Julia in a clothes store.
(The song 'Rich Girl' by Gwen Stefani is playing over the scenes).
Julia is helping Kajal with her shopping.
Kajal is picking up conservative styles while Julia is showing her wild, daring stuff. Julia
is disapproving of Kajal's choices and Kajal is shocked with Julia's choices.
CUT TO:

Kajal coming out the changing booth wearing different clothes and Julia giving Kajal
her approval or disapproval. And everytime Kajal walks out of the changing booth, she looks
conscious, shy and awkward 'casue she's never tried on such funky and cool clothes.
CUT TO:
Kajal's credit card being swiped.
CUT TO:
A different store.
Julia and Kajal picking up more clothes. Julia picks out a very short sexy skirt and shows it to
Kajal, Kajal looks horrified and shakes her head.
CUT TO:
Kajal coming out the changing booth wearing different clothes and Julia giving her approval or
disapproval. Kajal looks slightly more confident now.
CUT TO:
Inside the changing booth.
Kajal takes off the long skirt she was trying and keeps it on the side partition wall next to her
salwar kameez. She then takes off the top she was trying and when she goes to keep it on the side
partition wall, she looks horrified.
Her salwar kameez and the long skirt she was trying are missing.
She doesn't know what to do. She stuck in a changing room in only her lingerie and a top.
Just when the panic is about to get out of hand, Julia's head pops up from the next changing
booth.
She peeps in, smiles, and dangles the short sexy skirt she wanted to Kajal to try over.
Kajal shakes her head, indicating she can't try it on.

Julia keeps dangling it in front of her. After a few seconds, Kajal very slowly takes it with her
right hand, while covering her chest with her left hand.
CUT TO:
Julia waiting for Kajal to come out of the changing booth.
The door opens and Kajal walks out, awkwardly pulling the skirt down because it's too short
AND looking hot.
Julia gives a very approving smile.
CUT TO:
Kajal's credit card being swiped.
CUT TO:
Kajal's dad, over lunch, seeing the credit card bill and then in shock spraying the
water, which was already in his mouth on Chintu and his mom who are also eating. They
both look utterly disgusted and give him a dirty look.
CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia coming out of the store with Kajal holding a lot shopping bags and looking
pleased. The shopping all done.
The song fades out.
They come to the pavement and stop and look at each other, not knowing if they are supposed to
hang out together or go their own ways.
Kajal (looking and sounding grateful): Thank you.
Julia (wearing her big sunglasses): It's no problem.
Kajal (after a pause): You wanna have....lunch?
Julia (looking at her watch and shrugging her shoulders): Ya...ok.

Kajal looks around trying to find a restaurant and she spots a Mcdonalds.
Kajal (excited and pointing towards it): Mcdonalds?
Julia (almost horrified): Mcdonalds??? In Europe we only go to Mcdonalds to use the toilet.
Kajal (smiling): Ooookay.
Julia (grabbing Kajal's arm and dragging her): Come, I take you to the best restaurant in Paris.
CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia sitting on the grass in a small park on the banks of the Seine river and eating long
baguette sandwiches. It's a beautiful summer day and Kajal is wearing Julia's big sunglasses.
Julia (looking at her watch): Ok, 15 minutes are up.
Kajal takes off the sunglasses and gives it back to Julia who wears them.
They continue eating.
Kajal (looking pleased): This is definitely better than Mcdonalds.
Julia (smiling): And Burger King.
Kajal (smiling): And KFC
Julia (smiling): And Starbucks.
Kajal (smiling): And Pizza Hut.
Julia (smiling): And Subway
Kajal (smiling): And Shiv Sagar.
Julia (stop smiling and looks at Kajal): Shiv Sagar??
Before Kajal can respond, Julia sees a man peeing on a tree nearby. She quickly gets up, looking
very angry.

Julia (shouting and throwing an empty Coke can at him): QUE LA BAISE VOUS FONTELLES? VOUS SALISSEZ LE COCHON.
The man, half done, quickly zips up and starts running away.
Julia (sitting down): I told you, all men are bastard.
FADE OUT.
FADE IN TO:
Kajal and Julia lying on the grass after a nice lunch. Julia is smoking a cigarette.
Julia: You still love him?
Kajal (after a pause): I don't know.......I think so.
Julia (taking a drag of her cigarette): You crazy.
Kajal doesn't say anything.
Kajal (after a long pause and looking at her watch): 15 minutes are up.
Julia takes off her sunglasses and gives it to Kajal, who wears them.
Camera slowly pulls up and see a top angle shot of Kajal and Julia lying on the grass. Both
looking cool. One wearing sunglasses and the other smoking a cigarette.
The scene slowly fades out.
FADE IN TO:
Outside the park.
A shot from across the street of Kajal and Julia waving goodbye to each other and going their
own ways, in opposite directions.
CUT TO:
Kajal changing in her hotel room.

She quickly gets into a smart skirt and a cool top. She then slowly turns and checks herself out in
the mirror.
She looks and feels like a new person. And she's looking gorgeous.
She then picks up her salwar kameez and looks around the room. Her eyes fall on the dustbin at
the other end of the room. She makes a ball out of the salwar kameez, lifts her hand, very
carefully takes aim and throws it. The salwar goes flying through the air and falls right into the
dusbin.
Kajal (punching her fist in the air): YES.....10 points to Kajal Mehra from Friends Colony.
CUT TO:
The man behind the reception desk reading a newspaper and eating a sandwich.
He hears footsteps and looks up and his eyes and mouth slightly widen, his mouth full of bread.
CUT TO:
Kajal walking through the lobby, heading out.
FADE OUT:
FADE IN TO:
Kajal on a cruise boat on the Seine, making it's way through the city.
She is leaning against the railing, lost in her thoughts and watching the city slowly pass by. A
few kids on the banks of the river wave to her and she waves back.
After a few seconds or so a young couple come and stand near Kajal. They are kissing and
whispering sweet nothing's in each other's ears. Kajal looks at them and she can't bear to watch
them without thinking of her and Vivek, so she slowly walks away and goes to the other side
of the boat.
As she leans against the railing, she turns to her left and she sees another couple kissing. She
makes her face as if to say, 'DAMN!" She doesn't know where to go, she finally goes right in
front of the cruise boat and stands there, looking at the river in front of her.

CUT TO:
A frontal mid shot of Kajal standing in front of the boat and enjoying the breeze, with the 2
couples kissing in the background.
She finally looks relieved that she can't see any more kissing couples. After a few seconds, she
makes an exasperated face and has a 'I-don't-believe-this' expression on her face.
CUT TO:
Kajal's POV to show what she's seeing.
The boat is about to pass under a bridge and on the bridge are a couple kissing.
Kajal just gives up and puts her head down and rests it on the railing.
FADE OUT:
FADE IN TO:
Kajal walking down the stairs of an underground metro.
She reaches the ticket counter and sees that there is a long queue. So walks towards the ticket
machine and looks at it wondering how to use it. She can't seem to figure it out. Suddenly she
hears a male voice behind her.
Male voice: Puis-je vous aider?
Kajal turns around and she's face to face with a really cute French guy, who's smiling.
Kajal just looks at him.
Cute guy (with heavy European accent): You speak French?
Kajal (nervously): No.
Cute guy: You want ticket?
Kajal (shyly): Ya.

Cute guy (smiling) : Ok, I help you.

Kajal hands him the money. He puts in the ticket machine.
Kajal (nervously): To the Louvre.
Cute guy (working the machine): It's no problem, you go anywhere with this ticket.
Kajal: Oh ok.
The ticket comes and he gives it to Kajal.
Kajal (grateful): Thank you.
Cute guy (with a smile): It's no problem.
Kajal gives him a coy smile and slowly turns and walks in the station.
CUT TO:
Kajal walking up a few stairs and coming to an area from where she has to take the stairs to the
left or the right depending on which platform she's going to.
She stands there looking at her metro map and figuring out where she has to go. Suddenly, she
hears a familiar male voice behind her.
Male voice: You should go to the right.
Kajal looks back and it's the same cute guy.
Cute guy (smiling and pointing to the right): The train to the Louvre is from there.
Kajal (smiling coyly): Thank you....Merci.
CUT TO:
To the platform.
We see Kajal coming down the stairs and on to the platform.

She then looks to the left and she sees the cute French guy on the opposite platform and he's
looking at her.
He smiles at her and gives a small wave, Kajal shyly half lifts her hand and returns his wave.
Just then her train arrives. She gets in and sits down. And looks out towards the opposite
platform. She sees that the cute guy is still looking at her, she looks down, too shy to hold his
gaze. She feels awkward.
The train starts to move.
CUT TO:
Kajal's face.
She is smiling to herself coyly and her cheeks have turned almost red.
She's been with Vivek most of her life. He was the first and only guy she's ever been out with.
The thought of her even looking at another guy hadn't occured to her when she was seeing Vivek
or even before she met him. And because she had led such a sheltered life, she wasn't used
to being looked at or appreciated by other men. And now for the first time, she sees a guy
checking her out and that too a cute French guy. It's an experience that's new and thrilling and it
also perks her ego up slightly, making her realise that she's still beautiful and desirable.
The trains enters the tunnel and the screen fades to black.
FADE IN TO:
Kajal on the escalator of the Lourve Rivoli metro station, coming up to the street. And she still
has a sweet smile on her face.
CUT TO:
A bunch of tourists in a large room in the Louvre and behind them, we see Kajal jumping up and
down. She is trying to get a better look at something.
CUT TO:

We are behind Kajal now and we see her jumping up and down to get a better look at the
Monalisa.
CUT TO:
A different room in the museum.
Kajal is standing behind a tour group of very old American's tourists and listening to the tour
explain a painting.
CUT TO:
A different room in the museum.
Kajal is again standing behind the same tour group of very old American's tourists and listening
to the tour explain a different painting.
Suddenly the tour guide notices Kajal and realises that she is not part of the group. He stops
talking and gives Kajal a dirty look, all the old Americans also turn to look at Kajal and look
surprised and wonder who she is.
Kajal gives a embarassed smile and quietly slinks away.
CUT TO:
A different room in the museum.
This time Kajal is again standing behind a tour group of Chinese tourists and listening to the tour
explain a painting.
CUT TO:
Kajal in front of the pyramid outside the Louvre and taking a picture of herself. She raises the
camera, gives a fake 'camera smile' and takes a picture. She then looks at the picture.
CUT TO:
The display sceen on the camera.

Half her face is out of the frame. All you can see is her ear, half her nose and the pyramid is
nowhere in picture.
CUT TO:
Kajal sitting with a sad face in a thinking pose, with her fist resting on her chin.
The camera slowly pulls back to show that she's sitting below Rodin's sculpture and imitating
Rodin's famous thinking pose in the garden of the Rodin Museum.
CUT TO:
Kajal walking down the stairs of an underground metro with a spring in her step, she is slowly
gaining in confidence.
She walks towards the ticket machine to get a ticket and sees two young Japanese female
tourists trying to figure out how to use the machine.
Kajal (to the Japanese girls with fake European accent): You want ticket?
Japanese girls (smiling): Yes
Kajal (with fake European accent): Ok, I help you.
The Japanese girls hands her the money. She puts in the ticket machine and gives them the
tickets.
Japanese girls (smiling and almost bowing with gratitude): Merci, merci.
Kajal (with fake European accent): It's no problem.
CUT TO:
Kajal in a underground metro train, standing between commuters and acting every bit Parisien.
CUT TO:
Kajal walking up the stairs of the Bir Hakeim metro station and coming up to the street. It's late
evening now and almost dark.

She reaches the street, looks up and just stops, her eyes and mouth wide open, she looks like
she's just seen the most beautiful thing in the world.
CUT TO:
A shot from Kajal's POV to show what she's seeing.
It's the Effiel Tower, in the near distance, all lit up and looking absolutely stunning.
CUT TO:
Vivek's house in Delhi.
Vivek is on the computer and Kajal is sitting on his lap.
On the computer screen is a picture of the Effiel Tower in the night, all lit up.
Kajal (looking at the computer screen): It's beautiful.
Vivek: I told you, it looks even better in the night.
Kajal (lovingly kisses Vivek on the cheek): Right as always Mr. Sinha.
Vivek (after a pause and looking at Kajal): You know what's even more beautiful than seeing the
Effiel Tower in the night?
Kajal (innocently): What?
Vivek: Seeing it with you.
Kajal (hugging Vivek): Awww.....
CUT TO:
Kajal sitting on the grass just 25 meters from the Effiel Tower.
She looks up at it slowly, trying to control her tears but she can't. She starts crying. She can't take
it anymore, so she takes her cellphone out and starts to look for a number.
CUT TO:

A close of shot of her cellphone.

We see she's on V. Her thumb starts scrolling down, Varun, Vedangi, Vidya, Vivek. She stops at
Vivek. Her thumb is over the green button. It lingers there for a few seconds.
CUT TO:
Kajal looking at the Effiel Tower, tears running down her cheeks. She closes her eyes, trying to
think straight and talking to herself in her mind, telling herself to be strong.
CUT TO:
Kajal's thumb slowly circling the green button.
CUT TO:
Kajal slowly opening her eyes and putting the cellphone back in her bag.
Not being able to sit there any longer, she gets up and starts walking to go back.
As she's walking, she is followed by two Arab looking guys and a black guy. All three are in the
their early 20's. They are the kind of guys who hang around tourist spots hitting on female
tourists.
1st guy: Mademoiselle.
Kajal turns to look and sees these 3 guys, she ignores them and continues walking, tears still
running down her cheeks. They continue to follow her.
2nd guy (to Kajal): Pourquoi pleurez-vous?
1st guy (to Kajal): Quel est votre nom?
Kajal ignores them and quickens her pace.
3rd guy (to Kajal): Je crois que vous avez besoin d'un peu d'amour.
All three of them start laughing.

Kajal takes a left turn and finds herself in narrow lonely lane. She doesn't know what to do, tears
are running down her cheeks as she walks quickly.
The guys quicken their pace to catch up with her.
3rd guy (to Kajal): Venez avec nous.
They are getting closer to her. Kajal quickens her pace even more. So do the guys.
Kajal puts her hand in her bag and takes out a cellphone and dials a number, tears running down
her cheeks. You hear the phone ringing on the other side.
CUT TO:
Julia and a guy kissing and necking each other in a corner in a crowded bar.
Camera pulls back slowly to show Julia bag and her cellphone ringing on a table close to them.
CUT TO:
Kajal holding her phone against her ear and walking down the lonely road with the 3 guys
following her.
Kajal (to herself): Pick up....pick up.
But there is no answer.
She hangs up.
The guys have caught up with her now and walking a few feet behind her.
1st guy (to Kajal): O vas-tu bb?
Kajal has no idea what to do, she looks very scared.
She dials the number again. You hear the phone ringing on the other side.
CUT TO:
Julia and a guy kissing and necking each other in a corner in a crowded bar.

Suddenly she stops kissing the guy and tries to pick up a sound.
Guy (disappointed): Pourquoi avez-vous arrter?
Julia: Shhh....
She hears the faint sound of her phone ringing above all the bar noise.
She turns and sees that her phone is ringing. She goes to get it and the guy she was kissing tries
to stop her, she pushes him hard so he goes crashing against the wall.
Julia (picking up the phone): Hello?
CUT TO:
Kajal crying and on the phone and the 3 guys have now surrounded her.
2nd guy (to Kajal): Qui appelez-vous la chienne?
Kajal (crying, to Julia): Julia.....Julia
CUT TO:
Julia making her way out of the bar so she can hear clearly. Her one hand is pressing the phone
against her left ear, her other hand is blocking her right ear to drown out the noise in the bar.
Julia (concerned): Kagel....Are you ok?
CUT TO:
Kajal on the phone crying.
Kajal: These men....these men are after me.
3rd guy (to Kajal): Qui appelez-vous? Huh?
CUT TO:
Julia on the street outside the bar.

Julia: What happen?

Kajal: These men are following me.....I don't know what to do?
Julia: Where are you?
Kajal: I don't know.....What do I do?
Julia (after a pause): Give them your phone.
CUT TO:
Kajal.
Kajal: What?
Julia: GIVE THEM YOUR PHONE.
Kajal hesitates but slowly extends her hand to give one of the guys the phone.
1st guy (confused, to the other two): Que fait-elle?
2nd guy (to the 1st guy): La baise sais-je?
The first guy hesitates but takes the phone.
1st guy: Allo?
We see him listening and see his face changing. He suddenly looks very scared, he then throws
the phone back at Kajal.
1st guy (looking scared, to the other 2 guys): Courir.
And he starts to walk away fast. The other two follow him.
3rd guy (to the first guy): Que la baise s'est-elle produite?
The 1st guy doesn't answer as he continues walking fast while the other two catch up with him.

Kajal looks stunned wondering what happened.

Kajal (to Julia): What did you tell him?
CUT TO:
Julia outside the bar.
Julia (very cooly): Oh don't worry, I told him you have Aids.
CUT TO:
Kajal.
Kajal (laughing and crying at the same time): WHAT??.....You're crazy
Julia: It worked no?
Kajal (wiping her tears): Yea.
Julia: Where are you?
Kajal (looking around): I don't know.
Julia: Ok, you take taxi and come to Harry's Bar at 34 rue Carnot, C-A-R-N-O-T.....I'm waiting.
Kajal: Ok.....And thank you.
CUT TO:
Julia outside the bar, smoking.
Julia: It's no problem.
CUT TO:
Kajal in a cab.

She's looking out if the cab window as the cab makes it's way to 34 rue Carnot. She catches a
glimpse of the Effiel Tower all lit up in the distance. She stares at it. The cab takes a right turn
and the Effiel Tower slowly disappears out of sight.
CUT TO:
A narrow lane.
A cab comes into the lane and stops outside Harry's Bar.
Kajal gets off, pays the cabbie and slowly and tentatively walks inside. The bar is packed with
people drinking and smoking and there is music playing.
She makes her way through people, looking for Julia.
She spots Julia kissing a guy in the corner. She walks upto her and taps her on the shoulder.
Julia turns around.
Julia (excited): KAGEL
Kajal (still looking a little rattled but relieved to see Julia): Hi
Julia: Are you ok?
Kajal: Yeah....I'm...I'm fine.
Julia: C'mon, we go to the bar.
Julia picks up her bag to go.
Guy Julia was kissing: H, o allez-vous?
Julia (to the guy): Nous sommes faits.
The guy looks disappointed as Julia and Kajal walk towards the bar.
Julia: So who are the guys who trouble you?
Kajal: I don't know.....they followed me from the Effiel Tower.

Julia: I told you, all men are bastards.

Kajal (gesturing towards the guy Julia was kissing): Then what was that?
Julia: I said all men are bastards, I did not say all men are useless.
Kajal (smiling): What's his name?
Julia (shrugging her shoulders): I don't know.
They reach the bar and they sit on bar stools.
Julia (to the bartender, a serious, fat guy in his early 40's): Deux lunettes de vin rouge s'il vous
plat.
Kajal (shocked): You don't know his name??
Julia: No....I want to kiss him, not marry him.
Kajal looked shocked and amused at the same time.
Bartender (keeping 2 glasses of red wine in front of them): Deux lunettes de vin rouge.
Kajal looks at the glass in front of her.
Kajal (to Julia): I don't...drink wine.
Julia: No wine?....Ok....You want Vodka? Beer?
Kajal: No no....I...er....don't drink...alcohol.
Julia (very surprised): You don't drink?....Nothing?
Kajal shakes her head.
Julia: You don't like taste?
Kajal (a little embarassed): I don't know, I've never tried.

Julia (shocked): You never try??

Julia (smiling, to the bartender): Elle n'a jamais got d'alcool.
Bartender: Si elle vit avec ma femme pour un jour, elle commencera boire.
Julia laughs.
Kajal: What did he say?
Julia: I told him you don't drink alcohol, he say if you live with his wife for a day you will start
drinking.
Kajal laughs.
Julia: C'mon, you have to try some wine, only a few sips....ok?
Kajal: Noooo.
Julia (smiling): Wine is made with grapes, so it's grape juice, you know.
She then shows Kajal her little finger indicating that she's going to pee.
CUT TO:
Julia coming out of the bathroom stall and washing her hands.
She then steps out and walks to the bar. She reaches the bar and she freezes.
Kajal's wine glass is empty and she's no where to be seen. She picks up Kajal's glass, she's
obviously finished the entire glass in minutes. Julia keeps the glass down and looks around
but Kajal's nowhere to be seen.
Julia (to bartender): O mon ami est all?
Bartender (shurgging his shoulders): Je ne sais pas.
Julia walks out of the bar and looks up and down the street but Kajal is nowhere to be seen. She
starts to get worried.

She quickly walks to the left to check the adjoining small lane. No sign of Kajal. She runs to the
right, to check the adjoining lane on the other side.
She looks into the lane and sees Kajal, sitting on the pavement, 'cause she's too high to stand.
She's crying and trying to dial a number.
Julia (running towards Kajal): KAGEL.
Kajal doesn't even look up.
Julia runs upto her and squats opposite her.
Julia: Why you leave?
Kajal (slurring 'cause she's drunk and tears running down her cheeks): I want to call Vivek.....I
miss him.
Julia: You miss him because you drunk.
Kajal (slurring): I'm not drunk....I told you I don't drink.
Julia (grabbing Kajal's phone): You're not calling him Kagel.
Kajal (not letting go off the phone): I MISS HIM.....I WANT TO CALL HIM.
Julia (pulling the phone): GIVE ME THE PHONE.
Kajal (not letting go off the phone): NO....I have to call him, please let me call him.
The struggle ensues for the phone. Finally Julia manages to take the phone,
while Kajal continues crying.
Julia (sitting down next to her): Listen Kagel....If you call him you will look like fool.....You
want to look like fool?
Kajal shakes her head.
Now they are both sitting down on the pavement, next to each other, resting their backs against a
building.

Julia: If you want, you call him tomorrow, ok?

Kajal nods her head.
Julia is doing something on Kajal's phone.
Kajal (slurring): What are you doing?
Julia: I delete his number.
Kajal (slurring): 9820314142.
Julia shakes her head.
Suddenly Kajal takes her camera out, puts her arm around Julia, brings her head close to her and
raises the camera.
Kajal: Smile.
Both of them smile.
Kajal takes a picture. She then looks at the picture and there's a look of disbelief on her face, she
keeps looking at it from different angles in her drunken state.
CUT TO:
The display sceen on the camera.
It's a perfect picture, with both their faces perfectly in the frame.
CUT TO:
Both of them sitting.
Kajal (showing Julia the picture): Look, you can see my full head.
Julia (looking at the picture): It's good picture.
Kajal keeps the camera in her bag, while Julia gets up.

Julia (extending her hand): Let's go.

Kajal (grabbing Julia's hand getting up, and almost talking to herself): You can see my full head.
But she is too drunk to walk straight, so Julia supports her and they start walking back to the bar.
Julia (looking at Kajal as they walk): Are you ok?
Kajal (slurring): Yes.
Julia (after a pause): He is not a good guy Kagel.
Kajal (slurring): He's not a good guy Julia.
They continue walking.
Kajal (suddenly screaming very loudly in her drunken state): HE'S A BASTARD.
Julia is taken aback. She's never heard Kajal abuse or even say anything bad about anyone or
anything. While a couple walking by look at them thinking, 'crazy drunk women'.
Kajal (tilting her head up and screaming even more loudly): VIVEK SINHA, YOU'RE A
BASTARD.
Julia starts laughing. Seeing her laugh, Kajal starts laughing too, while still being teary eyed.
Other people on the road turn to look at them, wondering what's going on.
They reached outside the bar now.
Kajal (again, loudly): BASTARD....BASTARD.....BASTARD.
Kajal (slurring, to Julia): I want more grape juice.
Julia: No grape juice for you.
Kajal (loudly): I WANT MORE GRAPE JUICE.
Julia seems to be really enjoying seeing Kajal like this. Even people from inside the bar look
outside to see what's going on.

The guy Julia was kissing comes out of the bar with his friends and they are going somewhere.
Guy Julia was kissing (to Julia): Nous allons Quai Saint-Bernard pour la soire dansante. le
besoin pour venir?
Julia: Aucuns merci vous.
The guy and his friends continue walking.
Kajal (slurring): What did he say?
Julia: They are going to a dance party by the river, he asked if we want to go.
Kajal (loudly): DANCE PARTY? LET'S GO, LET'S GO.
Julia: No we are not going to dance......TAXI.
Julia stops a taxi.
Kajal: Where are we going?
Julia (leading Kajal to the taxi): To the hotel.
Kajal: Noooooooo.
Julia puts Kajal in the taxi and gets in with her.
Julia (to taxi driver): 12 Rue de la Harpe.
The taxi driver nods and they start moving.
Julia turns to say something to Kajal but Kajal is fallen asleep, with her head head tilted back and
her mouth slightly open. Julia looks at her for a few seconds, feeling protective towards her.
CUT TO:
A long shot of the taxi going through the streets of Paris.
CUT TO:

Inside the taxi.

Kajal is still sleeping and Julia is looking out of the window.
CUT TO:
Beautiful shots of Paris in the night. Almost like photographs. Well known places like Place da
la Concorde, Pont des Arts bridge, Pont Neuf bridge, Canal St. Martin, the Moulin Rouge,
cobble stoned lanes of Monmarte, unknown lanes and roads. And these place are almost
deserted.
CUT TO:
Rue de la Harpe.
Julia supporting a sleepy and still high Kajal as they walk into their hotel and we see the taxi
leaving.
CUT TO:
Julia and Kajal approach the reception.
Julia (to the man behind the reception): Quatre cent et deux, quatre cent et trois.
The man hands Julia the keys.
Julia: Merci.
And they walk towards the stairs.
CUT TO:
Julia opens Kajal's room and leading Kajal into the room.
She gently leads her to the bed, makes her lie down.
Julia then takes Kajal's shoes off, draws the curtains shut and slowly walks out, gently shutting
the door behind her.
Kajal (softly mumbling to herself, half asleep): Let's go to the dance party.

Camera stays on Kajal for a few seconds, showing her asleep.

FADE OUT.
FADE IN TO:
Next morning. A close up shot of the menu board outside Breakfast-In-Amercia on Rue des
Ecoles.
The board says:
Our tasty special.
Blueberry and chocolate pancake with maple syrup.
Mushroom and cheese omlette.
Ham steak and eggs.
English muffin.
CUT TO:
A table full of plates with little bit of food left on them, there are also tea/coffee cups and half
drunk glasses of water. The table is over flowing with plates. Looks like someone's had a large
breakfast.
Camera slowly pulls back and tilts up to show who it is and it's Kajal and Julia. They are sitting
outisde, on the table which is on the pavement. They look content after a nice large breakfast.
And they are both cooly dressed. And Julia is wearing her big sunglasses.
Julia is smoking a cigarette. She takes a drag, blows the smoke in the air and casually gives the
cigarette to Kajal.
Kajal takes it, holds it between her fingers, brings it close to her lips, pretends to smoke, blows
imaginery smoke like in the air like Julia and slowly hands it back to Julia. The camera follows
Kajal's hand. We see Julia's hand come in the frame and take the cigarette.
The camera pulls back and we see that they are sitting on the parapet opposite the Sacre Coeur
and looking at the city below them. And now Kajal is wearing Julia's sunglasses.
Kajal (after a pause): Do you miss your boyfriend?
Julia: Karl? The one who left?

Kajal: Ya.
Julia: Noooo, I don't miss him....I miss Danny.
Kajal (looking at Kajal): Who's Danny?
Julia: My cat.
Kajal (surprised): You miss your cat more than your boyfriend?
Julia: Ya.
Kajal just shakes her head and smiles.
Julia: What you say for cat in Indian?
Kajal: Billi.
Julia: Billy?
Kajal (smiling): BILLI.
Julia: Biili.
Kajal (smiling) Ya.
Pause.
Julia: You miss Vivek?
Kajal: Ya, sometimes....when I see couples or drink grape juice.
They both laugh.
Julia: You should get a billi.
And they both laugh again.
Julia: Ok, we go now....are you sure you want to do this?

Kajal (nodding her head): Yes.

CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia coming fast down the narrow cobbled stoned streets of Monmarte on bicycles,
screaming their hearts out. Kajal is still wearing Julia's sunglasses.
They narrow manage to avoid hitting a parked car and people, as they zip down, they twist and
swirl down the streets screaming in excitement.
CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia coming out of a small lane and into a large street, on their bicycles, almost into
the on coming traffic.

CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia buying delicious looking fruits on Rue Mouffetard, with their bicycles next to
them.
CUT TO:
Chintu in his room in Delhi.
He's on the computer, again surfing a soft porn site, this time he's seeing pictures of a semi nude
women posing with different fruits. And Chintu is semi nude too, he is sitting bare bodied and in
his shorts and is getting majorly turned on.
Suddenly his cellphone which is on the computer table beeps indicating he's got a message. He
makes an irritated face and picks up the phone and opens the message. And makes a disgusted
face and can't believe what he's seeing. He closes his eyes, almost telling himself, 'no no no'.
It's a picture of Kajal biting into an apple, with a message saying, 'show this to mom'.
Chintu quickly closes the porn pictures of semi nude women posing with fruits.

CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia in a designer chocolate and pastry shop.
You can see the excitment on their faces as they can't decide on what to buy. Everything looks
heavenly and sinful. Everytime they point to something, they see something which looks even
better.
CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia coming out of the chocolate shop, eating chocolates.
Julia sees a tall, very good looking guy walking in their direction.
Julia (suddenly): Give me your camera, quick.
Kajal quickly takes out her camera and gives it to Julia.
The guy is about to pass them now.
Julia (to the guy): M'excuserpouvez-vous prendre notre photographie?
Kajal looks at Julia, shocked.
Good looking guy (taking the camera): Bien sr.
Julia puts her arm around Kajal who is still recovering from Julia's gutsy move. She manages a
nervous smile.
The guy takes the picture and hands the camera back to Julia.
Julia (taking the camera and smiling): Merci....Me et mon ami va la barre de harry ce soir. vous
fait nous joint pour une boisson?
The guy looks a little surprised.
Good looking guy (after a few seconds and smiling): Oui.
Kajal is wondering what's going on.

Julia (smiling): Bien, tre l neuf.

Good looking guy (smiling): Bien.
And he starts walking away.
Julia (loudly to him): ET AMENER UN AMI.
The guys turns around, smiles, nods and continues walking.
Julia (before Kajal can ask her anything): I invite him to Harry's bar tonight.
And Julia cooly starts walking, eating chocolates. Kajal follows her.
Kajal (surprised): WHAT?
Julia: Yes.....And I asked him to get a friend.
Kajal (laughing): You are a crazy....Is he coming?
Julia: Of course.....All men are horny.
A shocked Kajal can't stop laughing.
Julia (poking her elbow into Kajal): You wear short skirt tonight ok?.....You look sexy.
Kajal (still laughing): NO.....I'm not wearing a short skirt.
Julia: YES, you are.
Kajal: NO.
CUT TO:
Kajal checking herself in the mirror in the room, she's wearing a short skirt and a cool thin white
shirt. She's looking gorgeous. She turns left, turns right, checks herself out from different angles.
Satisfied with the way she looks, she then sprays a perfume in the air and swirls her head
into/around it.

CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia sitting in the underground metro train.
The guy sitting opposite her is checking her out. Kajal looks at the guy, their eyes meet. Feeling
shy and conscious, she looks down. Julia pokes her elbow into Kajal's ribs joikingly, making her
even more conscious.
CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia in the middle of a conversation with the good looking guy and his even better
looking friend at Harry's Bar. They are all standing by the bar.
The guys are drinking Vodka and Kajal and Julia are having wine. You can see that both Julia
and Kajal are smitten by them. The first good-looking guy is talking to Julia in French and his
friend seems to like Kajal, so he's talking to her, in English with a heavy European accent.
2nd good-looking guy (with accent): You stay in Paris for long?
Kajal (taking a big sip of her wine): Just two days, I'm going to Rome tomorrow.
2nd good-looking guy (with accent): You going to Rome tomorrow?
Kajal (taking a big sip of her wine): Yes.
2nd good-looking guy (turnng to his friend): Elle va Rome demain.
1st good-looking guy (to Kajal): You going to Rome?....It is a beautiful city....We go last year.
2nd good-looking guy (to Kajal): I tell you where to go, ok? In Rome.
Kajal (taking a big sip of her wine): That would be great, thank you.
The 2nd good-looking guy starts asking his friend in French about the bars they went to in Rome.
While Julia starts talking to Kajal.
Julia (softly to Kajal): You drink too fast.
Kajal (very innocently but a little loudly): But I like it.

Julia (softly): Yes....but you will get drunk again....You take one small sip in 5 minutes,
ok?.....Only one sip.
Kajal, nods, sipping her wine.
2nd good-looking guy (to Julia): You go with her to Rome?
Julia (sipping her wine): No, I go back to Berlin tomorrow.
1st good-looking guy: Oh, you leave too....We must enjoy tonight huh....Your last night in Paris.
Julia: Yes.....We must get drunk and have some fun tonight.
2nd good-looking guy (raising his glass): Yes....Salut.
The other 3 raise their glasses too.
All four (clinking their glasses together): SALUT.
Julia (to Kajal): I go the bathroom, ok?
Kajal: I'll come with you.
They both keep their glasses down.
Julia (to the guys): Nous allons aux toilettes, sera de retour dans une minute.
Both of them (nodding): Oui...oui.
Kajal and Julia start walking to the ladies room.
Kajal (blushing with excitement and a slightly high): Oh my God....they are cute.
Julia (excited): They are SEXY.....We have fun tonight, ok?
Kajal (obediently): Ok.
CUT TO:
The ladies room.

Kajal comes out of the stall and sees Julia is trying hard to get something out of a small dispenser
on the wall.
Kajal washes her hands and starts checking herself out in the mirror, adjusting her hair.
Julia is cursing the herself and really working on the dispenser. She finally manages to get what
she wanted. She quickly puts one in her bag and throws one to Kajal. Kajal catches it.
Kajal (without seeing what she's caught): What is it?
Julia (casually): Condom.
Kajal lets out a small disgusted screams and lets go off it, so the condom falls down.
Julia looks surprised.
Julia (picking up the condom): You don't want condom?
Kajal (still looking disgusted and shaking her head): No.
Julia (very matter of factly): You like to do without condom?
Kajal (looking horrified): To do...what?
Julia (putting the other condom in her bag and dragging Kajal by her hand): You drunk again
Kagel....come.
Kajal still looks horrified as they walk out.
They walk out of their ladies and they suddenly stop, they're frozen and have a shocked look on
their face.
CUT TO:
What Kajal and Julia saw which made them freeze.
The good looking guys are kissing passionately. They're gay.
CUT TO:

Kajal and Julia slowly looking at each other, shocked and crushed at the same time.
Julia (disappointed and quietly walking out unnoticed): Let's go.
Kajal (following her): Where we going?
Julia: To another bar.
Kajal: What about them?
Julia: Fuck them....Scheie fhrt.
They get out of the bar and start walking. Julia is furious that the hot men turned out to be gay
'cause she was all set to sleep with one of them. She is walking fast. Kajal is trying to keep up
with her.
Kajal: I want more grape juice.
Julia (angry): Bastards.....All good-looking men are gay.
A very fat and short man is walking in their direction.
Julia (as the fat man passes them): And we are left only with this fatty.
Kajal laughs and turns to look at the fat man.
They come to a bar where loud music is being played.
Kajal: This one, I like the music.
Julia: Ok.
They walk in.
CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia sitting by the bar and drinking wine.

Julia downs her glass of wine and is quite high. Kajal is taking big sips of her wine too and is
also quite high.
Julia (to the bartender): Un plus vin rouge.
Kajal (slightly slurring): They were cute.
Julia lights a cigarette, takes a drag, blows the smoke in the air and gives the cigarette to Kajal.
Kajal takes it, pretends to smoke, blows imaginery smoke like in the air like Julia and
slowly hands it back to Julia.
Suddenly the music changes and the next song is 'Jab chahe mera jadoo.....'
Kajal can't believe her ears, her eyes light up.
Kajal (very excited, screaming): THIS IS AN INDIAN SONG....I LOVE THIS SONG.
And before Julia can react, Kajal gets up from her bar stool and starts dancing.
She is a little high so she's not feeling consious at all, as she does Bollywood dance moves. Julia
looks stunned.
Kajal then makes get up from her bar stool and makes her dance too. Now Julia is dancing too,
imitating Kajal's moves.
The people standing nearby start turn to look at them dancing. Soon everyone in the bar is
looking at them as Kajal and Julia groove to 'Jab chahe mera jadoo....'
Suddenly Julia climbs up the bar stool and gets on the bar counter, and she pulls Kajal up. And
they both start dancing on the bar counter.
The crowd seems to be loving it, some are clapping, some are whistling, some start moving to
the beats slowly.
Kajal and Julia continue to groove without a care in the world.
Even passers by stop and are peeping in, some are walking in just to see the dance.
CUT TO:

The bar entrance seen from the pavement, where a mini crowd has gathered and is looking in.
One of the guys in the crowd calls out to his two friends who have walked ahead.
The guy (loudly): PHILIPE..PHILIPE.
His friends stop and turn back.
The guy (loudly): DEUX FEMMES DANSENT SUR LA BARRE, VOUS DEVEZ VOIR
CECI.
His friends quickly start jogging towards the bar.
CUT TO:
Inside the bar.
Kajal and Julia are driving the crowd wild with their dancing.
Even the chefs from the kitchen have comes out and are watching them dance on the bar counter.
Soon, another girl climbs up the bar counter and starts dancing with Kajal and Julia.
And then one more climbs up and joins them.
The crowd is simply loving it.
The bar counter is now like a stage.
They continue dancing for a sometime with the crowd cheering them on.
The song and scene slowly fades out.
FADE IN TO:
A drunk Kajal and Julia leaning against each other and laughing uncontrollably and loudly on a
beautiful and cobble stoned street. They are laughing so much that they can't even walk. It is
very late in the night, so the lane is quiet and lonely, the only sound you hear is of them
laughing.

CUT TO:
Kajal and Julia running down the stairs that lead to the metro station, still laughing.
They run down, and jump over the metal barricade where you validate your ticket.
They then race each other down the stairs which lead to the platform.
And get into the train just as the doors are about to close.
The compartment they get into is empty except for them.
The get in and catch their breath, still laughing.
As the train is pulling out of the station Julia sees a very old man sitting on the opposite platform,
who is waiting for a train, looking at them. Julia lifts her t-shirt and shows him her breasts. The
camera is behind Julia.
And Kajal can't believe it, she is shocked and starts laughing even louder.
Julia (slurring): He will die a happy man.
And they both laugh uncontrollably.
The trains enter the tunnel and the screen slowly fades to black.
FADE IN TO:
Kajal and Julia slowly and drunkenly climbing up the spiral staircase of their hotel, supporting
each other.
Kajal (singing): Jab chahe mera jadoo....
Julia: Shhhh....
They reach their floor. As they are walking towards their rooms, Kajal stops outside a door and
starts banging on it, hard. As Kajal is banging on the door, Julia quickly takes out the condoms
from her bag and keeps it in front of the door. And they both run and quickly try to open their
respective doors before the the person whose door Kajal banged on, comes out.

They manage to open it and get it quickly just in time. 'cause as soon as their doors shut, a old
and sleepy woman opens her door and looks to see who banged on her door. She doesn't see
anyone. She looks down and sees something, she picks it up and sees that they are condoms. She
smiles to herself and closes the door behind her.
Old woman voice's (from inside the room, in a thick British accent): Harry, wake up.
CUT TO:
The Paris train station, Gare Saint Lazare.
Kajal and Julia are standing opposite each other, with their suitcases. They both look a little sad
to be leaving each other.
Kajal (smiling but almost teary eyed): Thank you for everything Julia.....I'm glad I met you.
Julia (smiling): It's no problem.
Kajal (looking sad): I will miss you.
Julia: I miss you too.....You come to Berlin soon?
Kajal: I will....I promise.
Julia then puts her hand in her handbag and takes out her sunglasses.
Julia (giving Kajal her sunglasses): This is for you.
Kajal (touched): Nooooo.
Julia: Please.
Kajal: No....I can't take it.
Julia (thrusting the sunglasses in Kajal's hand): Please.
Kajal (very touched): Thank you.
Julia (smiling): It's no problem.

Kajal then hugs Julia.

Kajal (her eyes wet): Bye.
Julia: Auf wiedersehen.
And they walk in opposite direction, wheeling their suitcases.
CUT TO:
A long shot of them walking in opposite directions.
CUT TO:
Kajal walking towards her train wearing her new cool sunglasses and her funky clothes. There is
an air of confidence about her now, she looks like a completely different and new person.
CUT TO:
Inside the train.
Kajal gets in and walks down the aisle looking for her seat.
She finds her seat, keeps her bag in the overhead space and sits down by the window and looks
out, and slowly a smile comes across her face. A satisfactory smile which says, 'I didn't do too
badly'.
CUT TO:
A close up shot of Kajal's window from outside. We see Kajal looking out, the satisfactory smile
still on her face.
The camera slowly pulls back to show that the train is now speeding across a beautiful
landscape, leaving Paris behind.
CUT TO:
Inside the train, Kajal is still looking out with a smile on her face.

Suddenly her phone starts to ring. She turns and looks at the phone and the smile from her face
disappears.
It's Vivek calling.
She doesn't know what to do, she's stunned. The phone keeps ringing. She's still not sure what to
do. The phone continues to ring. She slowly picks it up finally.
Kajal (cautiously, her hand almost shaking): Hello.
Vivek: Hi.
Kajal (unsure of what to say): Hi.
Vivek (after a pause): I missed you.
Kajal doesn't know what to say or how to react, she is too stunned by what's happening.
Vivek: I want to meet you Kajal.
Kajal (after a long pause): Where are you?
Vivek: I'm in Paris.
The camera very slowly pulls back as Kajal can't believe what she's hearing. It's quiet except for
the subtle noise of the train smoothly making its way through the beautiful French countryside.
Will she be back to square one?
INTERVAL
(now Amsterdam so some of the scenes might have to be jumbled around and some of the play
out of the scenes might have to be changed)
We see Kajal sitting with the phone still pressed against her ears and a shocked look on her face.
Kajal (surprised): How did you know I was in Paris?
Vivek: I...er...I called your mom to apologize and.....she said you were in Paris.
Kajal (suddenly irritated): You apologized to my mom??? Why? You had promised to marry
her too?
Vivek: Kajal, please.......I thought it would be wise to talk to her before I talked to you.

Kajal: Talk to me about what?

Vivek: About us.
Kajal (with mock laughter): US? There is no 'US' Vivek......we stopped being 'us' the day you left
me for someone else a week before our wedding.
Vivek: Kajal....
Kajal (cutting him short, angry and raising her voice): DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT I
WENT THROUGH? WHAT MY FAMILY WENT THROUGH? DO YOU?
The other passengers turn to look at her.
Vivek doesn't say anything.
Vivek (after a pause): Can we meet and talk about it?
Kajal (after a pause and calming down a little): I'm not in Paris.
Vivek (surprised): What do you mean you're not in Paris? Where are you?
Kajal doesn't answer.
Vivek: Kajal please.
Kajal (getting up from her seat and walking down the compartment): I don't think I want to meet
Vivek....You should go back.
CUT TO:
Vivek sitting on his bed in his hotel room in Paris.
Vivek: I'm not going back.....Tell me where you are.
Kajal: No.
Vivek (frustrated and almost shouting): KAJAL....JUST TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE.
CUT TO:
Kajal walking down the compartment.
Kajal (in a pleading tone and with tears in her eyes now): Please don't do this Vivek.....Please!!!

CUT TO:
Vivek in his hotel room in Paris.
Vivek is silent for a few seconds as he's thinking.
Vivek (suddenly): VENICE....You're in Venice aren't you?.....Venice was our next destination
after Paris.
Kajal (with wet eyes): I'm hanging up now.
Vivek: Kajal WAIT....
CUT TO:
Kajal cutting her phone. She's in the train cafeteria. The cafeteria has a bar in the corner, a large
oval shaped table in the middle of the compartment and long narrow table running along the
large glass windows.
Kajal keeps the phone on the narrow table in front of her, takes a sip of her coffee and looks out
through the large glass windows at the beautiful scenery outside.
Her phone starts ringing again, it's Vivek, she doesn't even look at the phone, she's continues
looking out and with rolling down her cheeks. She wants to pick up the phone but she knows it
not the right thing to do.
CUT TTO:
A close up shot of a map of Europe.
A thick red line starts from the word 'PARIS' and makes it's way to the word 'VENICE'.
CUT TO:
A shot from inside the train of the train approaching Venice. In the foreground and next to the
train is the sea and in the background is Venice.
CUT TO:
Kajal's face as she looks out of the window and her eyes slowly lighten up and her mood slowly
perks up.
CUT TO:
Kajal coming out of Venice station with her bag and wearing her sunglasses.

As soon as she steps out people rush towards her, some ask her if she wants a room, some ask
her if she wants to hire a gondolo.
She shakes her head suggesting 'no' and with great difficulty makes her way through them and
walks ahead.
She keeps her bag down and looks around to find a taxi or a bus. But there are no taxi's or buses.
In fact there are no vehicles at all.
Instead, in front of her is a big canal. She's a little stumped.
She stops a porter passing by.
Kajal: Excuse me.
Porter (stopping): Si.
Kajal: How do I get to Pensione La Calcina?
Porter (Italian accent): Pensione La Calcina?
Kajal (reading from a tiny piece of paper in her hand): Calle...del....Carro.
Porter: Calle del Carro? Yes, you take the bus, No.1.
Kajal (confused): From where?
Porter: From here.
A confused Kajal looks around, there is no bus station or a bus stop, there's only a canal in front
of her and the train station behind her.
Porter (excitedly): There it is.
And points to a boat approaching packed with people.
Kajal (surprised): That's the bus??
Porter (nodding his head): Si.
Kajal (still surprised): Oh ok.....Thank you.
Man: Prego.
CUT TO:

Kajal on the boat among a crowd of people.

She looks wide eyed at the beautiful old buildings and the gondola's as the boat makes it way
through the canals.
The boat stops at a red traffic light at a canal intersection.
Kajal's fascinated that they have traffic lights on the canals for the boats, she's never seen
anything like this before. She looks at the traffic light and slightly smiles to herself with
amusement.
CUT TO:
Kajal dragging her bag over a small cute bridge which is over a small canal, and right in front of
her, in a beautiful old building, is Pensione La Calcina.

(may be a montage of Amsterdam while shes on her way to the hotel and shes feeling low and
completely lost.. just like she was in the beginning of the film when shes sitting in the car with
her parents who are coming to drop her to the airport, that one call from vivek has put her
back in the place she started)
CUT TO:
(its almost late evening when kajal lands at the hotel)
Kajal walking up to the reception. A fat woman is sitting behind a small reception. She is
fighting with someone loudly in Italian on the phone.
Kajal (trying to get her attention): Hi.
The woman ignores Kajal and continues fighting on the phone.
Kajal waits.
Finally the woman bangs the phone down hard.
Fat woman (muttering to herself in anger): Chi diavolo si crede di essere!!!
Kajal (again, but with a smile): Hi.
Fat woman (grumpily): Yes.

Kajal (in a soft tone, trying not to anger her more): I have a room in the name of Kajal Mehra.
The fat woman, still angry, opens a register and goes through it.
Fat woman (Italian accent and still angry about something): Passport please.
Kajal gives her the passport.
The fat woman gives Kajal a small form and a pen.
Fat woman (grumpily): Fill this up.
Kajal starts filling the form, while the fat woman checks her passport.
Kajal finishes filling the form and gives the passport back to Kajal. And also gives her the room
keys.
Fat woman (still angry): Room number 208.
Kajal (taking the keys): Thank you.
CUT TO:
Kajal outside room number 208.
She tries to open the door but realises the room is already open. She slowly pushes the door and
walks in and looks surprised.
There are already 2 young guys in the room. They look at her, she looks at them and she quickly
walks out.
CUT TO:
(almost night)
Kajal back at the reception.
The woman is again on the phone fighting loudly.
Kajal: Excuse me.
The woman ignores Kajal and continues fighting on the phone.
Kajal waits.
Finally the woman bangs the phone down hard.

Kajal: I think you gave me the wrong room, there's someone in room 208.
Fat woman (grumpily): I give you right room.....you share a room.
Kajal (surprised): With 2 men?
Fat woman: Yes.....you very lucky woman, you share room with 2 men.....I share room with my
mother, my sister and her 3 children, all girls.
Kajal: Don't you have another room?
Fat woman: No, all rooms booked.
Kajal looks disappointed and worried.
CUT TO:
(Here the boys could offer her food since its almost night and they could be sharing a pizza
but kajal refuses to touch their food out of disgust, she sleeps empty stomach and we can hear
her stomach growling really loud in the night and all three boys wondering where the noise is
coming from)
Kajal entering her room very tentatively. She's never shared a room with anyone, leave alone two
guys.
There's only one guy in the room now. And you can hear the shower from the bathroom, so the
other guy is in the bathroom.
There are 2 single beds in the room and above them are 2 bunks beds. The beds below has the
lugguage of the 2 guys, so Kajal keeps her bag on the bunk bed.
Guy: Hi.
Kajal: Hi.
Guy (extending his hand): Julian from Boston.
Kajal (shaking his hand): Kajal from Delhi.....India.
Julian: First time in Venice?
Kajal: Ya.
Suddenly the bathroom door opens and the other guys walks out wearing only his underwear and
scratching his crotch with his right hand.
Kajal, embarassed and making a face, quickly looks away.

2nd guy (casually): Hi.

Kajal (still looking away): Hi.
The 2nd guy takes his own sweet time to wear his shirt and jeans, while Kajal is too embarrassed
to look at him.
After getting dressed Julian and the 2nd guy start to go out.
Julian (to Kajal): See ya.
2nd guy (to Kajal): Bye.
Kajal: Bye.
Suddenly the 2nd guy stops.
2nd guy (walking towards Kajal, extending the same right hand he was scratching his crotch
with): Sorry.....Tim, from Manchester.
Kajal just looks at the hand and has a slight look of disgust on her face. She doesn't want to
shake his hand but the guy stands there with a smile and his hand extended, it's an awkward
moment.
Kajal (very slowly extending her hand and shaking his hand with a very soft grip): Kajal from
India.
After they leave, Kajal quickly runs to the bathroom and washes her hand with soap again and
again.
Kajal (talking to herself while washing her hand): Disgusting foreigners....couldn't he have
scratched it with his left hand?.....Now he'll eat pizza with the same hand....YUCK.
Suddenly her phone starts ringing, she comes out of the bathroom and quickly walks towards her
phone.
CUT TO:
Vivek on a boat in Venice with the phone pressed against his ear.
The phone is ringing at the other end.
CUT TO:
Kajal in her hotel room, looking at the phone ringing. It's on the bed.

She wonders if she should take the call. Her heart tells her yes, her head tells her no.
She slowly picks up the phone and places her finger on the green button, torn between taking his
call and not taking his call. With her finger still on the green button, she looks out of the window
with a look which says, please don't do this to me. The phone finally stops ringing and in a way
she is relieved as she slowly keeps the phone down.
(right after she is lying down on her bunker with the razor in her hand feeling a little insecure
and unsure of what the boys could be capable of doing she looks at her phone and she sees
some 17 missed calls from vivek and she finally feeds his number back into her phone book
still not sure what she wants but it is some sort of comfort for her to have him atleast in the
same city while she lives with three strangers)
CUT TO:
A plush and very expensive hotel suite.
The door opens and Vivek walks in with his bag. He keeps the bag down and looks around the
room. It's honeymoon suite he had booked for him and Kajal. He had cancelled it after the
wedding was called off but rebooked it since he was coming to Venice.
His eyes fall on a lovely bouquet and a card kept next to it. He walks up to it and opens the card,
inside is a message from the hotel addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Sinha. The message says,
'Welcome to Venice and have a wonderful stay'. (When Vivek rebooked the room, the hotel
assumed that he was coming with his wife).
Vivek crumples the card and throws it in the dustbin. He then walks outside on to the balcony
and looks out. It has a beautiful view of the sea and the boats.
He stands there wondering what to do next. Suddenly, he gets an idea.
CUT TO:
Kajal's house in Delhi.
Her mom, dad and Chintu are watching 'Indian Idol' on TV.
Suddenly Chintu's cellphone starts ringing. He picks it up without seeing who it is.
Chintu: Hello.
Vivek (in his friendliest voice): Buddy, this is Vivek here....How are you?
Chintu: One minute.
He then gets up and starts walking towards his room.

Kajal's dad (to Chintu): Who is it?

Chintu (in a very bored voice): Sahil.
He then goes into his bedroom and closes the door.
Chintu: Tell me.
Vivek: How do you like to earn 1000 bucks buddy?
Chintu (very matter of factly): What do I have to do?
Vivek: Just tell me where Kajal is staying in Venice.
Chintu thinks for a moment or two.
Chintu (after thinking): I want the money first.
Vivek: I'm in Venice, you'll get the money when I get back.
Chintu: Sorry, I want the money now or else I'm hanging up.
Vivek: WAIT...wait....ok.....you'll get the money in half an hour.....call me after you get it
Chintu: Outgoing ISD calls to Europe are 11 bucks per minute, YOU call me.
And he calmly cuts the phone.
FADE OUT:
FADE IN TO:
Chintu standing by the window opening an envelope.
A super appears at the bottom of the screen: 27 minutes later.
Outside, on the other side of the window, there's a guy standing wearing a helmet.
Chintu opens the envelope and inside are two Rs. 500 notes.
Chintu (to the guy outside): Don't have 10's?
The guy doesn't answer, he just glares at Chintu and leaves.
Chintu closes the window. As soon as he closes the window, his phone rings.

CUT TO:
Vivek in a cafe.
Vivek: Got the money buddy?
Chintu: Ya.
Vivek (with a pen in his hand a napkin on the table): Great....Ok, what's the address?
Chintu: Take it down.
Vivek starts writing the address on the napkin.
CUT TO:
(this scene will come after the next scene since first the whole bra scene, breakfast and
cleaning the room scenes happen before she steps out and is standing by the bridge)
A back shot of Kajal standing on a small bridge. She's resting her arms on the parapet of the
bridge and looking at the canal below her and the pretty houses that line the canal.
She's wearing sunglasses and her clothes are funky and new and she's looking really cool.
She looks at her phone and sees that there are no calls from Vivek. She is relieved AND a little
disappointed at the same time.
She looks up and spots a cute cat in the windows of one of the houses. She quickly takes her
camera out and takes a picture of the cat.
As soon as she finishes taking the picture, she hears someone singing in Italian. She looks around
but she can't spot the singer. The singing is now louder and she realises it's coming from below.
She looks down and a gondola appears from under the bridge.
A gondolier is serenading an old woman wearing sunglasses and an expensive looking dress and
lots of make up. She looks weathy and classy but she also looks very sad and unhappy. Kajal
looks at her and wonders who she is and why she's alone and what's the cause of her sadness, as
the gondola takes the old women further and further away with the gondolier's song fading away
too.
FADE OUT:
When kajal wakes up in the morning the third guy could have joined them who is trying to get
the razor out of her hand coz he wants to use it, kajal screams and asks him to back off.. he
asks her to relax and the other two guys introduce the new guy to kajal and tell her that hes
also goin to be living with them and kajal has an unbelievable look on her face.
OR one of the guys puts on blasting music in the morning and kajal wakes up in a shock!
They wake up in the morning and there is a little bit of chaos in the room coz everyones
getting ready and kajal is still in her bunker coz she has no bra on and shes covered herself

behind the blanket tryin to put it back on with great difficulty thinking the boys will see her
who are so busy doing their own thing and then finally she manages and jumps out of her
bed)
Here may be the breakfast scene could be added
This is the kind of place where there is a kitchen thats open for people to make their own
breakfast.. kajal goes and makes her breakfast and the three boys are also struggling to make
something for themselves at the same time.. kajal is now sitting at the table outside in the nice
balcony with a big fat breakfast that shes made for herself and the 3 boys come out with their
individual plates which has some burnt toasts and horrible looking eggs while kajal puts the
first bite in her mouth she can see the boys eyeing her breakfast from the corner of her eyes..
they have hungry puppy looks on them kajal keeps eating for a while tryin to ignore this but
eventually gets up and offers to make breakfast for them, they love the omlettes she makes
and they tell her that she makes the best omlettes in the world.. just like the scene from viveks
apartment when he proposes. There is a little bonding that happens over here amongst them.
Over breakfast they show her the list of things they want to do and ask her to join them. All
four head out to explore the city there could be a montage here of all four hanging out
doing different things and then kajal finally lands up at marcellos shop and the next scene
could continue
May be here she just comes back to the room and starts cleaning and finds some really sweet
things lying around which are owned by the boys (yet to be cracked)may be the receptionist
sees how clean the room is and tells her to clean a few more rooms and make a few quick
bucks
(here she could step out and be standing by the bridge and she adds viveks number back to her
phonebook)
FADE IN TO:
(Marcello could own a small indian coffee shop or a restaurant.. kajal goes there to grab
something and she orders a particular dish and while having it she gives marcello some
suggestions to make it better.. another customer comes and asks for the same dish and we cut
to kajal in the kitchen making the dish for the other customer)
(conversation between Marcello and kajal to have their chat about the food and what she
suggests to do to the dish needs to be added and the below conversation to be changed
accordingly)
Kajal walking down a busy street filled with shops.
As she's walking, a lovely blue glass vase in a shop window catches her eye. She stops and
admires it.
She likes it so much that she walks into the shop and picks up the vase to look at it. Suddenly she
hears a male voice behind her.
Man (Italian accent): Can I help you?
Kajal turns around and it's a handsome looking man who is about 40 and smartly dressed.
There's a pause as they both look at each other, both a little lost in each other's looks.

Kajal (recovering but nervously): How...how much is this vase for?

Man: 200 euro.
Kajal keeps it back, it's too expensive for her. She starts to walk out.
Man: But for you I give for 175 euro.
Kajal (stopping and turning back): Still too expensive, but thanks.
Man (with a slight smile): 150.
Kajal smiles just a little and shakes her head, indicating 'no'.
Man (smiling): 130.
Kajal (smiling): 110.
Man (smiling): 120.
Kajal (smiling and thinking for a moment or two): Ok, I'll take it.
Man (smiling): You very good at bargaining....I must take you with me when I go to buy fish.
Kajal (smiling): Or a vase.
Man (smiling): Or a vase.
The man starts to wrap the vase in a newspaper.
Man (as he's wrapping): Where are you from?
Kajal: India.
Man (still wrapping): Aaah India.....I visit India, long time back, when I was your age.
Kajal (very innocently): My age? How old are you now?
Man (smiling): You don't ask man his age.
Kajal: No, it's 'you don't ask a WOMAN her age'.
Man: In Italy it is different, in Italy you don't ask a man his age.
Kajal (embarassed): Oh, I'm sorry.

Man (laughing): No...no...I make joke....I'm 40.

Kajal smiles.
He finishes wrapping the vase and gives it to Kajal.
Kajal (paying him): Thank you.
Man (taking the money): In Italy we say 'grazie'.
Kajal (smiling): Grazie.
Man (smiling): Arrivederci.
Kajal looks at him wondering what he's saying.
Man: In Italy we say 'arrivederci' for 'goodbye'.
Kajal (smiling): Arri...ve...derci.
The man gives an approving smile.
Kajal walks out and starts walking down the road. After she walks a few meters, she turns and
looks and she sees the man is standing outside his shop and watching her go. They both
exchange a smile as Kajal continues walking.
(May be here she could turn back and see a msg from vivek saying hes in Amsterdam, kajals
face falls she doesnt know how to react to it.. kajal ignores his msg and continues to walk
around when she gets a call from her family chintu is giving her a list of things he wants
from amsterdam and her parents call her and tell her that vivek has come visited them and her
mother says how she should give him another chance while her father is totally against it)
CUT TO:
Vivek coming out of a hotel called Hotel Vincente, looking very angry. He is furious.
As he walks out of the hotel, he gets an sms, he quickly opens the message, it's a message from
Chintu and it's a smiley with its tongue out. This makes Vivek even more angry.
Vivek (looking at his cellphone): Bastard!!!!
He's standing outside the hotel, for a moment or two, thinking. He then starts walking quickly.
CUT TO:
A chef putting tomato sauce, cheese and oregano on dough and putting the dough in a pizza over.

As he puts the dough, he removes an already done pizza from the over and puts it on a plate. It
looks delicious and fresh.
A waiter takes the plate and walks through the restaurant and goes out and keeps it in front of
Kajal who is sitting on an outside table.
We can see Kajal's mouth watering as she tears the a piece of the pizza with her hands and eats
it. It's the most delicious pizza she's eaten and you can see it on her face. As she's eating it the
sauce gets smeared on her lips and chin but she enjoying the pizza too much to care.
Suddenly she gets a message on her phone, it's from Vivek. She opens it and her face changes it
says, 'Call me, I'm in Venice'.
This is the last thing she wanted, meeting or bumping into Vivek in Venice, the most romantic
city in the world, especially when she was slowly getting back on her feet and getting her
confidence back. She knows that if she meets Vivek in Venice, there is a chance that she might
go back to him.
She puts her pizza down and quickly looks around, worried that he is close by. She starts
panicking. This is not how she had planned it. She sits there thinking and wondering what to do.
She looks at the message again and then with great difficulty deletes it.
CUT TO:
Vivek entering another plush looking hotel.
He goes to the reception, behind the reception is middle aged man smartly dressed in a suit.
Vivek (to the man behind the reception): Hi.
Man (with a big smile): Hello.
Vivek: Can you tell me if Kajal Mehra is staying in the hotel?
Man (in a very dignfied and formal tone): I'm sorry sir, we are not allowed to disclose any
information about our guests.
Vivek looks around to make sure no one is looking and quickly slides a 100 Euro note towards
the man.
Man (quickly taking the money and quickly keeping it in his coat pocket): One moment please.
And checks the computer.
Man: No sir, there is no Kajal Mehra staying with us.

Vivek (looking disappointed): Thank you.

CUT TO:
Kajal walking under a lovely archway.
She walks a few meters and enters the San Marco Square. We can hear the church bell tolling
loudly. It's late evening now.
As soon as she steps into the square, she stops and her eyes light up with what she sees.
CUT TO:
San Marco Square from Kajal's point of view:
We see the San Marco basilica and the San Marco clock tower, the outdoor cafe's filled with
people drinking and having a great time, families and couples walking and pigeons in the middle
of the squares. A small cute girl shoos (tries to scare) the pigeons, and the pigeons start flying all
around. It's picture postcard worthy.
On one side of the square a small stage is being set up.
CUT TO:
Kajal slowly starts walking into the square. As she's walking she's looking around, hoping Vivek
is not around. She's worried that she might bump into him any minute.
CUT TO:
A close up shot of the big church bell tolling.
CUT TO:
Vivek walking down a street and towards San Marco Square. Looking dejected and tired. He's
spent the whole day trying to find Kajal unsuccessfully. He is now going to San Marco Square,
hoping to bump into her there.
He enters the square from the opposite side.
CUT TO:
Kajal slowly making her way through the people and walking towards the centre of the square.
CUT TO:

A top shot of the San Marco square.

CUT TO:
Vivek slowly making his way through the people and walking towards the centre of the square
too. He looks out for Kajal as he walks.
They are both walking in each other's direction, not knowing that the other is there.
It's late evening time and it's just getting dark.
CUT TO:
Kajal slowly walking in Vivek's direction.
CUT TO:
Vivek walking in Kajal direction. He should bump into her any minute.
He reaches the middle of the square.
He stops and looks around. But surprisingly, Kajal is nowhere to be seen.
Suddenly a classical concerts starts on the stage that was being set up. A man is signing soulfully
in Italian, accompanied by classical musicians. It's dark now and the lights come on.
It's a beautiful scene in San Marco Square as people stop and turn to listen to the beautiful music.
Vivek turns and listens to the music too, and a feeling of loss comes over him. He looks for Kajal
frantically, but doesn't spot her among the people who seem to be having a wonderful time.
CUT TO:
Kajal sitting in the corner of the square on a table.
She is looking relaxed 'cause she is difficult to spot. She's enjoying the concert and trying to
distract herself from thinking about Vivek.
On the table next to her are bunch of young people laughing and drinking wine and eating bread.
She looks at them and the wine. She's tempted.
A waiter comes to take her order.
Waiter: Buona sera.
Kajal: One Coco Cola.

Waiter: Si.
As he's leaving, Kajal looks at the wine and bread again.
Kajal (to the waiter): Excuse me.
The waiter turns and comes back.
Kajal: No Coco Cola.....Wine.
Waiter: Rosso o bianco?
Kajal: Sorry?
Waiter: Red or white?
Kajal: Red....red wine.
The waiter leaves.
(the above montage could be changed since now its Amsterdam and she could be shopping
and buying various things for herself and her family she could also finally come to a shop and
buy hash brownies thinking they are regular brownies and have them sometime later) CUT
TO:
Vivek looking one last time for Kajal.
Not seeing her anywhere, he slowly starts walking ahead and making his way out, walking
towards the end of the square. The romantic setting is too much for him to bear without Kajal.
CUT TO:
Kajal dipping bread in olive oil and eaiting it and just when she picks up her glass of wine to
have a sip, she hears a familiar male voice.
Man: Good evening.
She keeps her glass down and turns and it's the handsome man from the store.
Kajal (with a slight smile): Are you following me?
Man (laughing): Yes....I follow all beautiful women who come to Venice.....May I join you?
Kajal smiles and thinks for a second or two.
Kajal (after the pause): Sure.

Man (sitting down): Thank you.

Kajal (smiling): In Italy we say 'grazie'.
Man (laughing): Grazie.....I'm Marcello.
Kajal: Kajal.
Marcello (quickly pointing to the wine glass): Did you drink the wine?
Kajal: No....Why?
Marcello: Don't drink it.
Before Kajal can ask him why, he calls the waiter.
Marcello (calling out to the waiter): CAMERIERE.
The waiter comes to their table.
Waiter: Si.
Marcello: Lei pu portare il vino e ci prende di nuovo una bottiglia di Cavalletta di Barolo?
Waiter: Che non va con questo vino?
Marcello: C' niente non offende con questo, noi giusto vuole un vino migliore.
The waiter looks irritated and takes away Kajal's glass of wine.
Marcello: Grazie.
Kajal (wondering what is going on): Why did he take away my wine?
Marcello: It's not good wine, I ask for a bottle of our best wine.
Kajal: A bottle? I can't drink more than a glass.
Marcello: You know, you can be arrested in Italy for drinking only one glass of
wine....According to Italian law you should atleast drink 3 glasses.
Kajal: And what does the Italian law say about trying to get a young woman drunk?
Marcello (smiling): The law says you can get her drunk if she's beautiful.

Kajal (smiling): I see.

Just then the waiter gets a bottle of wine and 2 glasses and pours the wine in them and leaves.
Marcello (raising his glass): Cin cin.
Kajal (raising her glass): Cin cin.
Both of them take a sip of their wine.
FADE OUT
FADE IN TO:
We see that they've had dinner and the wine bottle is nearly empty.
Marcello: So tell me.....why a beautiful girl like you travel alone?
Kajal: What makes you think I'm travelling alone?
Marcello: You come to my shop alone, you sit here alone....unless you travel with a ghost.
Kajal (after a pause): It's a long story.....Tell me about you....are you married Marcello?
(should she ask him so directly if hes married coz shes only met him a few hours back?(seems
a little uncool))
Marcello: Me? Nooooooo.
Kajal: Didn't find the right woman?
Marcello: I find many right women but I like to be alone.....single, you know.
Kajal: So you can be with many women?
Marcello: No, so I can be with you.
Kajal (smiling): Does that line work with women?
Marcello (smiling): Sometimes.
Kajal (smiling): And other times?
Marcello: Other times I tell them I own a boat.
Kajal (suddenly impressed): You own a boat???

Marcello (smiling): See, it's working.

And they both burst ut laugh.
Kajal (looking at her watch): I should get going now, it's late.
Marcello (looking at his watch): But it's only 11:45.
Kajal: I'm a good girl Marcello, I sleep early.
Marcello: Can I walk the good girl to her hotel?
Kajal: Yes, you may walk the good girl to her hotel.
Marcello (calling out to the waiter): CAMERIERE.
And makes the 'get the cheque' gesture.
FADE OUT:
FADE IN TO:
Kajal and Marcello walking down a quiet and lonely backstreet, along a canal.
You can see that Kajal is keeping an eye out for Vivek.
Marcello: Why you not married?
Kajal (after a long pause): That again is a long story.
Marcello (smiling): Do you have any SHORT stories?
Kajal laughs.
Kajal: Well, I wanted to get married.....It's been my dream since I was 15, to fall madly in
love, get married, have kids, you know....but.....
Marcello: But?
Kajal (after a pause): The man I fell madly in love with and wanted to marry, fell in love with
someone else.
Marcello: I am sorry for that.
Kajal (trying to convince herself more than anything): It's ok....I'm realising that there is more to
life than marriage and kids.

Marcello doesn't say anything, he just listens to her.

Kajal (looking at Marcello): This trip is the best thing that ever happened to me.
They come to a lovely archway and walk under it, it's very dark under the archway, you can't see
them clearly, they are almost in silhouettes.
Marcello (in silhouette): Travel is a good cure for pain.
Kajal (in silhouette): Yeah....travel, red wine and margherita pizza.
Marcello smiles.
FADE OUT
FADE IN TO:
They are walking over the little bridge which is opposite her hotel.
They walk across it.
Kajal: This is it....this is my hotel.
Marcello: La Calcina.
Kajal: Yup.
Suddenly Kajal's phone rings, she fishes the phone out of her bag. It's Vivek's call. She looks at
the phone and then at Marcello and then at the phone again. She wonders what to do, Vivek
persistance is weakening her defences. But she let's the phone ring.
Macello: You don't pick up?
Kajal (slightly shaking her head): No.
Marcello: Who is it?
Kajal (slightly smiling): The ghost.
Marcello looks at her, confused.
Kajal (before he can ask her anything more): Thank you for the lovely evening.
Marcello: No...thank YOU.

They look at each other and smile. It's a sweet moment where both are wishing they could talk
more.
Marcello (after a pause and very tentatively): Tomorrow my neice is....getting married.....you
come for the wedding?
(may be kajal doesnt tell Marcello about vivek, she doesnt feel like talking about him when
shes with Marcello coz shes having a really good time, but she could talk to the boys about
vivek instead so that when the scuffle happens the boys are aware of who he is but Marcello is
still clueless and one of the reason for the boys to start a fight with him could be because they
dont want vivek to hurt kajal again)
(May be the wedding could happen a few days from now and meanwhile the scenes with the
boys could be added and some of viveks montage could be cut out till this point and spread it
across the rest of the second half till the time the showdown happens)
Kajal (after thinking for a moment or two): I don't know, Marcello.....I...er....I don't know.
Marcello (smiling and slightly disappointed): No problem.....Goodnight.
Kajal (smiling back): Goodnight.
Kajal then crosses the small lane to get into her hotel.
Marcello (from across the lane): KAGEL!!!
Kajal, who is about to enter the hotel, stops and turns.
Marcello (loudly): SANTO STEFANO!!!
Kajal looks at him with a questioning look on her face, wondering what he's saying.
MARCELLO (loudly and with a smile): THE CHURCH....SANTO STEFANO....THAT'S
WHERE THE WEDDING IS.
Kajal just smiles and walks inside the hotel.
She walks to the reception where the fat Italian woman is again fighting loudly on the phone.
She sees Kajal and gives her the room keys without interrupting her fight.
CUT TO:
Kajal opening her room door and walking in.
She goes to the window and looks out.
She sees Marcello walking back. She watches him walk as he enter a small lane and goes out of
the frame.

She then shifts her gaze and looks at the city below, deep in thought. She then looks at her
phone, there are no calls or messages from Vivek.
She thinks and then slowly scrolls down to Vivek's number and stops. You can see that she's
confused about calling him. Her finger strokes the call button and then she calls him.
You can feel her heart beating as the call is connected and it starts ringing. She has no idea what
she'll say to him or whether she will meet him. The phone keeps ringing and there is no
answer. She lets it rings for a long time and then cuts it.
She turns around and leans against the window and looks at the phone.
Kajal (to herself): Shit!!!
And then goes and sits on the bed. She keeps the phone on the bed next to her and again looks at
it. She wishes she hadn't called him, she's feeling like a complete fool now.
And all sorts of thoughts go through her head. Is he upset? Did something happen to him? Has he
gone back? Why did I call?
Suddenly her phone rings, it's Vivek. She quickly picks it up.
Kajal: Hello.
Vivek: Hi....Where are you?
Kajal doesn't say anything.
Vivek: C'mon Kajal, I'd like to meet you....Just give me 5 minutes.
Kajal: I don't know if we should meet Vivek
Vivek: Why not?
Kajal: Becauseeee....
Vivek: Because?
Kajal doesn't say anything.
(here instead of hre hanging up the phone because the 3 boys walk in she could hang up cos
shes just not interested in talking to him and then she thinks of tryin the brownies shes bought
and by the time the boys return she could be completely high, when the boys come back they
see her acting funny and she offers them the same brownies and the boys know what those are
and they are happily eating the brownies and at the end of it all four of them are completely
smashed and talking about life and philosophies.. after which they could go on the topless

drive but I dont know if thats still seeming too soon or just keep the dancing sequence here
as it is)
Suddenly the door opens and Julian and Tim walk in.
Kajal (to Vivek): I gotta go now, I'll call you soon.
And she cuts the phone.
Julian and Tim are both high and are laughing and smoking a joint.
Without warning Tim grabs Kajal and starts dancing with her.
Kajal is taken aback and doesn't know how to react, so she plays along and dances
uncomfortably. She relaxes and gets comfortable as they dance a little more, she's slightly
smiling now and enjoying herself.
FADE OUT
FADE IN TO:
Kajal sitting on her bunk bed and thinking.
Tim is sitting on his bed and Julian is sitting on his bed smoking the joint.
Julian takes a drag of the joint and passes it on to Tim. Tim takes a drag and lifts his hand to pass
it on to Kajal who is above him on her bunk bed.
CUT TO:
(there could be a heart to heart conversation happening here amongst the four while passing
the joint around - bonding)
Kajal on her bunk bed.
She looks at the hand holding the joint. She doesn't know it's a joint, she thinks it's a normal
cigarette.
She wonders whether she should take a drag.
Tim (his voice): I can't hold up my hand all day.
Kajal slowly reaches out and takes the joint. She then slowly and tentatively takes a drag.
As soon as she takes a drag, she starts coughing and starts feeling dizzy.
Tim's hand comes up again to take the joint back, Kajal somehow manages to put the joint
between his fingers and then very slowly falls on her pillow sideways and passes out.

FADE OUT
FADE IN TO:
Kajal waking up in the morning.
She slowly looks down from her bunk bed, Julian and Tim are fast asleep.
As her eyes go around the room, she looks shocked.
There's a new guy in the room now.
He's sleeping in the bunk bed above Julian's bed. He must have arrived late in the night when she
was asleep. She can't believe she's sharing a room with 3 guys. She just shakes her head and start
to climb down her bunk bed.
(here instead of kajal talking to vivek (or she could still have a very short conversation with
him where she refuses to tell him where she is) she could have a conversation with the three
guys who tell her something about themselves and she also opens up to them and all four end
staying up all night chatting slowly the light goes off while they fall asleep chatting and the
next scene opens with a loud scream when kajal sees a lizard and the whole lizard episode
happens)
Kajal could be sitting here depressed or wet eyed after talking to vivek and the 3 boys could
walk in and see her upset, they ask her what happened but she doesnt tell, they offer her a
drag of the joint they are smoking/ or the hash brownies and all four get high and kajal tells
them all about vivek and how hes back and she just doesnt know what to do coz she thinks
that she might still be in love with him or something like that, they console her after hearing
her out and thats when all four start sobbing about their own love stories and its becomes a
really funny situation towards the end, post which the lizard scene could happen.
A song like Neil Diamond's 'I'm a Believer' plays over the following scenes (song continues till
it says 'Song ends'):
Kajal brushing her teeth in front of the mirror in the bathroom.
Julian and Tim come into the bathroom wearing just their shorts and start brushing their teeth
standing next to her.
Kajal is taken aback but continues brushing.
All 3 jostle for space in front of the mirror as they brush their teeth and take turns to spit in the
washbasin.
After a few seconds the new guy comes into the bathroom, also wearing just shorts.
(may be the new guy comes in earlier when shes sleeping there the first night itself)

He introduces himself and all 3 take a break from their brushing and shake his hands and go back
to brushing.
The new guys proceeds to pee in the commode.
Tim and Julian are not bothered by it but Kajal looks disgusted. She can't believe she's in the
bathroom with 3 half naked men with one of them peeing. She closes her eyes.
The new guys joins them and starts brushing his teeth too.
CUT TO:
Kajal, Tim and Julian, still in just their shorts, sitting on the beds, while the new guy is taking a

CUT TO:
Tim taking a picture of Kajal, Julian and the new guy.
They are standing in front of a canal. He gestures to them take a few steps back, they do.
He gestures them to further back. They are now at the edge of the canal and almost fall in
but manage not to with great difficulty and balancing.
CUT TO:
All 3 chasing Tim through the streets.
(may be a few more things like them driving topless on the streets etc could be added to the
montage)
Song ends.
FADE OUT
FADE IN TO:
(the play out of this scene will change)

Vivek at the boat ticket booth outside the Venice train station.
Vivek (showing Kajal picture to the guy inside the booth): Do you remember seeing this girl?
Man in the booth (looking at the picture): No.
Vivek walks towards the station entrance and shows
Kajal's picture to the porters and hotel agents.
They all look at the picture and shake their heads. Suddenly the porter who had told Kajal which
ferry to take sees the picture.
Porter (remembering Kajal): Yes, I see this girl.
Vivek (excited and relieved): You saw her??
Porter: Yes....she ask me which bus go to her hotel.
Vivek can't believe his luck.
Vivek (very eagerly): Which hotel?
Porter (after thinking for a moment or two): I don't remember.
Vivek (pleading): Please, try and remember.
The porter tries to think but doesn't remember.
Porter: I'm sorry I don't remember but she go to Calle del Carro.
Vivek: Calle del Corro?
Porter: Si.
Vivek quickly takes out a map of Venice from his back pocket and desperately tries to find the
street Calle del Carro on it.
And all the people who were witnessing the chat between Vivek and the porter crowd
around Vivek and start looking at the map too. They are all trying to find the street on the map,
arguing with each other loudly in Italian about where it is.
Suddenly the porter Vivek was talking to finds it.
Porter (pointing his finger on the map): Here it is....Calle del Carro.

The other men, disappointed that they couldn't find it, murmur to themselves in Italian and
disappear quickly.
Vivek (to the porter): Grazie.
And he runs down towards the ticket booth.
CUT TO:
After the montage song they stop at a certain local place to grab a quick bite and there they
tell kajal what is the next thing on their list, its to go to a strip joint and she completely rejects
the idea and she starts telling them ten reasons why they shouldnt go there and the boys may
be carefully listen to her and then give her one good reason for them to visit the place once,
theres a bit of silence for a while where kajal may be buys into the argument and has no better
come back after a few secs the argument continues and eventually they all land up at the
strip joint..while they are at the strip joint kajal at first is completely detesting being there but
once the show starts shes stark eyed and she refuses to leave, while shes completely enjoying
the show they three boys are getting hammered, eventually they boys get so drunk that all four
of them are kicked out of the club.. kajal realizes that none of the three of them can drive and
now she puts them into the car and she has to figure out a left hand drive and get the boys safe
back home (here another thing that could be done could be that vivek calls her and she
answers and she scared that he will find out that shes at a strip joint but since hes constantly
calling she answers his call and hes asking her whereabouts but she doesnt say and while
they ar talking the show is about to start and a certain announcement happens and he hears it
anf now he knows where she is so he immediately leaves for the strip club to find kajal but by
the time he gets there they could have already left..
And the wedding could be the next day
(may be this wedding could happen later sometime after a few days so we get time to establish
her relationship with the 3 boys and her status with vivek before he lands up at her hotel)
Inside the Santo Stefano church.
A priest reads the vows in Italian, as the young couple looks nervous and excited. Standing next
to them is a proud looking Marcello, dressed in a smart suit. His eyes are trying to find Kajal
among the guests who are seated in the church.
He looks a little disappointed as he can't see her. Suddenly his eyes light up and he smiles.
CUT TO:
Inside the Santo Stefano church.
Kajal sitting in the far right corner and watching the ceremony.

He sees a hotel and walks in.

Camera stays on the street.
After sometime, Vivek comes out of the hotel, looking disappointed.

CUT TO:
The post wedding party in a lovely courtyard with a band playing traditional Italian music. It's

Marcello (smiling): You having a good time?

Kajal (sipping her wine): Yeah, it's wonderful.

Marcello: You want to dance?
Kajal (smiling): No, I'm fine.
Before Marcello can ask her again, an old lady comes and drags Marcello away to dance. Kajal
laughs as she sees them go.
As Marcello is dancing, he looks towards Kajal and her chair is empty.
He stops dancing and looks around but she's nowhere to be seen. He quickly runs to the entrance
and he sees Kajal walking away.
Marcello (calling out): KAGEL.
Kajal turns around and stops, Marcello walks up to her.
Marcello: What happened? You don't like my family, my friends?
Kajal: Nooo.....they're wonderful....I just need to get back.
Marcello (after a pause): Can I walk you back? It's late.
Kajal: No, I'll be fine....you should be with your family.
Marcello: It's ok, I'm with them everyday.
Kajal smiles at him, he smiles back and they start walking.
FADE OUT
FADE IN TO:
Kajal and Marcello walking over the small bridge opposite her hotel.
They are in the middle of a conversation.
Marcello: So you go to Amalfi coast from Venice?
Kajal: Yeah....have you been there?
Marcello: Oh many times, it is beautiful.
By now they've crossed the bridge.

Kajal looks up and suddenly stops walking. She freezes and looks like she's seen a ghost.
CUT TO:
Vivek is standing in front of Kajal's hotel.
He sees that Kajal is with a guy and his face changes, he looks angry.
CUT TO:
A wide shot of Kajal and Vivek looking at each other from across the street. Kajal doesn't know
how to react.
CUT TO:
Kajal and Marcello.
Marcello: What happened?
Kajal: Nothing....you should go back now.
Before Marcello can answer Vivek has crossed the small lane and come to them.
He looks at Marcello and then at Kajal.
Kajal: What are you doing here?
Vivek: I told you I wanted to talk to you.
Kajal: And I told you we'll talk when I get back.
Vivek (raising his voice): I WANT TO TALK NOW KAJAL.
He the comes close to her face, almost to smell her breath.
Vivek (in disbelief): You've been drinking? YOU'VE BEEN DRINKING?? Since when did you
start drinking?
Kajal (almost pleading): Vivek please.
Marcello is looking at both of them and wondering what's going on.
Vivek (looking at her clothes and then at Marcello): And what the hell are you wearing?.....And
who is this guy?

Vivek (to Marcello): Who are you?

Kajal (flustered): Vivek, stop it.
Marcello (to Vivek): I'm a friend of Kagel.
Vivek (to Kajal): FRIEND? You have male friends now?
Kajal doesn't know what to say, and just then Justin, Tim and the new guy arrive on the scene all
drunk and smoking dope.
Justin (drunk): KAGELLLLL!!!
Tim (hugging Kajal): We missed you.
This is the last thing Kajal needed, she doesn't know how to react.
The new guy sits down on the ground and is quietly drinking his beer.
Vivek can't believe what's he's seeing, he looks stunned.
Justin notices Marcello and Vivek.
Justin (waving to both of them in his drunken state): Justin.
Marcello (with a smile): Marcello.
Vivek doesn't say anything, he is upset now.
A drunk Tim hugs Marcello and then tries to hug Vivek. Vivek pushes him back.
Vivek (to Kajal): Who are these people?
Kajal doesn't say anything.
Vivek (raising his voice): WHO ARE THESE GUYS KAJAL?
Justin and Tim look at each other and then at Kajal wondering who this guy is and why he's so
upset.
Kajal (after a pause): They're my roomates.
Vivek (not believing what he's hearing): You're staying with MEN?
Kajal (a little angry now): Yes Vivek, I'm sharing a room with 3 men.

Marcello (to Kajal): I go now.

Kajal (turning to Marcello and feeling bad): Ok....I'm sorry Marcello.
Marcello (smiling): No, please....Goodnight.
And starts to walk away.
Vivek (to Kajal): Pack your bags, let's go.
Kajal: I'm not going anywhere Vivek.
Tim (to Kajal): Who is this guy?
Kajal doesn't say anything.
Vivek: Tell him who I am.
Kajal still doesn't say anything.
Vivek (slightly raising his voice): Tell them who I am Kajal.
Suddenly the new guy tugs at Vivek's jeans. Vivek looks down, the new guy offers Vivek his can
of beer to take a sip. Vivek glares at him and hits the can from his hand, the can falls down, rolls
and falls into the canal.
Kajal (almost angry now): VIVEK, STOP IT.
Suddenly there is pindrop silence as everyone waits to see what the new guy does now.
The new guy, drunk, goes to the edge of the canal and jumps in to get his can of beer.
Kajal, Tim and Justin can't believe their eyes. They look at each other rush to the edge of the
canal, they see that the new guy has managed to grab his can of beer and is trying to swim back.
Justin and Tim start laughing uncontrolably even Kajal smiles a little as she finds it amusing.
This irritates Vivek even more.
Kajal (to Justin, Tim and the new guy): You guys go in, I'll see you in sometime.
Tim (concerned): Are you sure?
Kajal: Yeah.
Tim: Alright.

Justin (to Vivek, jokingly): Take it easy buddy, we'll be watching you.
And Tim, Justin and the new guy who's dripping wet, start walking towards the hotel.
Vivek (to Justin): Fuck you.
Justin stops and turns back.
Justin: What's that?
Vivek: I said FUCK YOU.
Kajal (disgusted): VIVEK!!!
Justin starts walking towards Vivek threateningly, and Vivek starts walking towards Justin
threateningly too.
Kajal quickly steps in between before things get out of hand.
Kajal (almost pleading): Guys, STOP IT!!!
Justin and Vivek face each other, eye balling each other, both not giving in. Tim comes
and stands next to Justin and starts eye balling Vivek too. While the new guy, in the background,
has sat down on the ground again and is drinking his beer.
Kajal (to Justin and Tim): Go back in....PLEASE.....I'll be up in a minute.
Justin and Tim glare at Vivek and then slowly retreat and start walking back.
Kajal (angrily to Vivek): What the hell are you doing?
Vivek (equally angry): What the hell am I doing? What the hell are THEY doing??
Kajal: They're my friends Vivek and they're being protective.
Vivek (rolling his eyes): Protective? Yeah right.
Kajal (irritated): For your information, not all men want to sleep with all women all the time.
Vivek doesn't say anything, he just looks at Kajal for a moment or two.
Vivek (shaking his head): I don't recognise you anymore.....You've changed.
Kajal doesn't say anything to that.
Kajal (almost defeated): What do you want Vivek?

Vivek: I want to talk to you.

Kajal: We ARE talking.
Vivek: C'mon Kajal, not like this.
Kajal: This is the best I can do.....And you seem to be forgeting a very important thing.
Vivek: Which is?
Kajal (angry but trying not to shout): YOU were the one who cheated on me......So don't show up
here and act like it's my fault.
Vivek (trying to calm her down): I am not saying it's your fault.....All I'm saying is, I realised I
made a mistake and....I want to marry you.
Kajal (almost pleading): Please don't do this Vivek, not right now.
Vivek: Not right now? Then when?
Kajal (confused): I don't know.....But I promise we'll meet soon and chat.....But not right now.....I
need some time.
Vivek: Time for what?....I said I'm sorry....we love each other.....let's get married.
Kajal: You make it sound so easy.
Vivek: It IS easy.
(here kajal could ask her to meet her the next day or vice versa instead of asking him to go
back to india right away)
Kajal: Not for me....I need some time Vivek.....I need to think about it.
Vivek doesn't say anything, he just looks at her.
Vivek (after a pause): Alright.....I'll...I'll wait for you, call me when you get back.
Kajal: I will.
She then turns to go.
Vivek: Kajal.
Kajal (turning back): Yeah?

Vivek: I love you.

Kajal just looks at him and breaks into a small smiles, a very sweet small smile.
Kajal (nodding and slightly smiling): I know.
Vivek smiles back at her.
Kajal: Have a safe flight back.
Vivek: Thank you.....you enjoy the rest of the trip.
Kajal nods her head.
They stand there for a moment or two looking at each other. And then Kajal slowly turn and
starts walking towards her hotel.
Vivek stands there watching Kajal cross the road and enter the hotel, he looks a little happy and
relieved now.
FADE OUT:
FADE IN TO:
Kajal lying in her bunk head, it's dark and all the 3 guys are fast asleep. But Kajal is wide awake
and has a peaceful smile on her face.
FADE OUT:
(kajal goes back to her room and there is a little coldness amongst the four?? Or the three
boys could just ask her if shes ok and if vivek bothered her too much, she says shes fine and
she has to go and meet him the next daythey kind of give her a non approving smile but they
are still supportive of what she wants to do, they go off to sleep without talking for too long.. or
we could straight cut to next morning where the 3 boys are packing their bags and kajal is
getting ready to meet vivek, she asks the 3 boys where they are headed and they tell her that
they have a flight early morning so they are going to a concert and then they will straight head
to the airport from there, kajal is a little surpirised to hear this and wants to spend the last few
hours with them, they also ask her to join them but she tells them that she will have to go and
meet vivek)
(kajal meets vivek at a restaurant and they start talking but right from the beginning kajal is a
little agitated and restless while vivek is talking she realizes that she is probably making the
biggest mistake of her life wasting her time with vivek while she should be with her friends
spending their last few hours with them, so after waiting for a while for vivek to make sense
she finally tells him that she has to go be at that concert, vivek is stunned, she asks him to join
too, but he refuses finally kajal says that he should go back to india coz she still needs time
to think and after saying this she starts running like shes running for her life)

starts climbing the wooden stairs.
CUT TO:
Kajal in a large hall, standing opposite a thin middle aged man with glasses. He is behind a
wooden counter.
Man (in Italian accent): You have two choice, you wear no clothes or you wear a dress.

Kajal (shocked): No clothes?? Nothing?

Man: Yes....you wear nothing.
Kajal: I'll wear a dress.
Man: Ok.
He then calls out loudly to someone.
Man: ANNA!!!
A thin smartly dressed young girl comes out of a room.

The girl pushes the door open and they both walk in.
It's a large room and we see young students sitting with a canvas in front of them. They are
sitting in a large circle and in the middle of the room is a chair.
Kajal looks a little nervous.
The young girl leads Kajal to the middle of the room.
Young girl (sitting on the chair and posing): You sit like this.

The young girl gets up and Kajal takes her place.

Young girl: And don't move.
Kajal: For how long?
Young girl: One hour.
Kajal (surprised): One hour?
Young girl: Yes.....you want to go to bathroom?
Kajal (after thinking for a moment or two): No, I'm fine.
The girl then walks out of the room. And Kajal very cooly and confidently poses the way the

there are beautiful colourful buildings in front of her.
The camera slowly pans around and comes to the front and we see that she is holding one more

Camera goes close to her face and then slowly pulls back and we see that she's now sitting in a
gondola and riding through the canals.
CUT TO:
A 12 year old girl standing on a bridge on a canal and looking down at the canal.
Kajal's gondola appears from under the canal and the little girl looks at Kajal, who is wearing

CUT TO:
Marcello in his shop.
He looks up and sees Kajal standing outside the shop, looking at him.
Song fades out.
Kajal slowly walks in, smiling but looking a little apologetic.
Kajal: Sorry about last night.
Marcello (smiling): It's no problem.....Everything ok?
Kajal: Yea.....everything is fine.
She looks around the shop, still a little embarrassed about what happened last night. There is a
little awkwardness as both don't know what to say.
Marcello (trying to break the ice): Are you hungry?
Kajal (smiling): I'm always hungry....Why?
Marcello doesn't say anything, he just looks at her and smiles.

Kajal (with a smile): Thank you and madame would like more wine.
Marcello: Of course.
He appears after a few seconds with two plates of grilled fish and a bottle of red wine. He keeps
the plates on the table and refills Kajal's glass.
Kajal (eyeing the fish and teasing): You'll make a woman very happy someday Marcello.
Marcello smiles and sits down.
Kajal takes a bite of the fish.
Marcello watches her, waiting for a reaction.
Marcello: You like it?
Kajal (nodding and smiling): I love it, it's delicious.
Marcello smiles and starts eating too.
The camera pulls back to show them eating dinner on a beautiful moonlit night on the deck of the
yacht.
FADE OUT:

Kajal takes another sip of her wine and slowly nods her head indicating 'yes'.
Marcello (after a pause): He come to Venice to meet you?
Kajal (enthusiastically but slightly slurring): Yaaa....Isn't that sweet?
Marcello (a little down bit smiling): Yes....it is.
Kajal (slurring and with fondness): He's really sweet.
Marcello doesn't say anything. You can see that he clearly likes her and is not too happy about
Kajal calling Vivek sweet.
Silence as both drink their wines.
Kajal (slurring): I think I'm a little high.
Marcello: High?
Kajal (slurring): Drunk....I think I'm drunk.
Marcello (trying to take her glass away): Then you shouldn't drink more wine.
Kajal (not letting go of her glass): Noooo.....I like wine.
Marcello smiles and reluctantly lets go.
Kajal takes another sip of the wine.
Kajal (slurring and pointing a finger at Marcello): I like you....you're a nice guy....and you also
cook.
Marcello, not being able to hold himself back any longer, suddenly holds Kajal and kisses her,
Kajal taken in by the wine and the romantic setting kisses him back.. They kiss passionately.
Marcello then slowly leads her inside while they are still kissing. As they reach inside Kajal
suddenly comes to her senses and realises what she's doing, she feels she's betraying Vivek and
feels guilty.
Kajal (pulling herself away): No no no no.
Marcello (taken aback): What happened?

Kajal (after a pause): I'm sorry.....I can't do this......you're a great guy but...I don't feel right doing
this....I'm sorry
Marcello, clearly disappointed, just looks at her.
Kajal (suddenly picking up her bag): I have to go now.
And she sways towards the door as she is still a little drunk.
Marcello: Kagel, wait.
Kajal stops at the door and turns back.
Marcello: It's very late and you are a little bit drunk, so....you should sleep and go in the
morning.
Kajal looks at him, trying to figure it out.
Marcello (being very reassuring): I promise I will not touch you.
Kajal just looks at him, thinking.
Marcello: I will sleep on the couch and you can sleep on the bed....Please....It's no problem.
Kajal keeps her bag down and walks towards the couch and slumps on it.
Kajal: Can I have a glass of water?
Marcello: Yes of course.
He goes to the kitchen to get her a glass of water. When he comes back, she sees that Kajal has
fallen asleep on the couch, her body on the couch and her legs hanging out.
He keeps the glass of water down, picks up Kajal and gently puts her down on the bed.
He then sits down on the couch, removes his shoes and slowly lies down on the couch.
FADE OUT
FADE IN TO:
Marcello waking up early in the morning.
He slowly opens his eyes and looks towards the bed. It's empty.
Marcello (slowly sitting up): Kagel?

He gets no answer.
He gets up and goes to the deck, there's no one on the deck.
He comes back in and goes to the bathroom and knocks on the door.
Marcello: Kagel?
Getting no answer, he slowly pushes the door open. It's empty. There is no sign of Kagel.
He looks around the boat wondering where she is.
CUT TO:
A close shot of Kajal's face.
The wind is blowing her hair. And she has a small sweet smile on her face.
The camera slowly pulls back and we see that Kajal is standing inside a moving train, she's
resting her hands on the half open window and looking out.
CUT TO:
Inside the train.
Kajal is still looking out.
After a few moments, she suddenly gets an idea.
With the smile still on her face, she takes out her cellphone and dials a number, turns around and
waits for he phone to be connected. Chintu picks up the phone.
Chintu: Hello.
Kajal: Listen, the hotel you booked for me, how many Euros is it?
Chintu: 50. Why?
Kajal: I want you to cancel it.
Chintu: Cancel it?? Where will you stay?
Kajal (with a smile): I have another place in mind.

The slowly camera pulls further back so we don't hear the rest of their chat.
CUT TO:
A close up shot of a map of Europe.
A thick red line starts from the word 'VENICE' and makes it's way to the word 'NAPLES' and
then to 'POSITANO'.
CUT TO:
Kajal opening a door.
She opens the door, walks in and stops.
It's the most beautful and amazingly designed luxury suite of the top luxury hotel in Positano.
And she has never ever seen a room like this.
She walks slowly walks in, admiring it. After slowly ogling at the room, she walks to her huge
private terrace and looks even more stunned.
Her room is right at the edge of cliff and below her and ahead of her is the ink blue
Mediterranean, with yachts and the Island of Capri in the distance.
On the terrace is sundeck chairs, a lovely wooden table with a bowl of olives, bouqet of
flowers, a bottle of champagne and a note.
She stands there taking in the beauty, too mesmerised to move.
She looks to her left and sees the rest of the town with it's colourful and quaint houses clinging to
the hillside.
CUT TO:
The earlier shot of Kajal standing inside the train and talking on her cellphone.
Kajal: Listen, the hotel you booked for me, how many Euros is it?
Chintu: 50. Why?
Kajal: I want you to cancel it.
Chintu: Cancel it? Where will you stay?
Kajal (with a smile): I have another place in mind.

Chintu: Which one?

Kajal (with a smile): The honeymoon suite at the San Pietro.
Chintu: The one Vivek had booked?
Kajal: Yea.
Chintu: Have you gone crazy?? That is the most expensive hotel in Positano!!!!.....Do you have
any idea how much it costs?
Kajal: I don't care....you go for your honeymoon only once in your life.
Chintu: Honeymoon?? YOU ARE ALONE!!!!!
Kajal (very cooly): Will you shut up and book the room?
Silence on the other side as you can feel Chintu getting exasperated and giving up.
Chintu: Ok fine....Blow up dad's hard earned money.
CUT TO:
Kajal in the huge bathtub in the huge and equally beautiful bathroom of her suite.
Next to the bathtub is a large oval window from which you have a lovely view of the sea too.
Kajal is eating olives and reading the note, which says, 'Dear Mr. and Mrs. Mehra, Happy
honeymoon, have a pleasant stay.'
Kajal (giggling): Mr. and Mrs. Mehra?
She is amused 'cause it's her surname.
She then looks out of the large oval window with a satisfied smile on her face.
FADE OUT:
FADE IN TO:
Kajal's house in Delhi.

Vivek is sitting with Kajal's parents and Chintu, drinking tea, sheepishly. There is an
uncomfortable silence. This is the first time he has come to visit them since the marriage was
called off.
Kajal's dad doesn't look very happy with Vivek.
Kajal's mom (breaking the silence): How is Kajal beta?
Vivek: She's fine aunty.
Kajal's dad: I think it's better if you stay away from her.
Kajal's mom gives him a dirty look.
Kajal's mom: Do your parents know you went to visit her?
Vivek: Ya, I told them......And, I want to say sorry for the way I behaved.....I love your daughter
very much and want to marry her.
Kajal's dad: That is out of the question.
Kajal's mom (to Kajal's dad): Will you shut up??
Chintu is amused by his mom asking his dad to shut up and he quietly smiles.
Kajal's mom (to Vivek): Did you tell Kajal you want to marry her?
Vivek: I did.
Kajal's mom: What did she say?
Vivek: She said she needs some time to think about but I know she still loves me and.....
Kajal's dad (interrupting): She's a fool if she still loves you.
Kajal's mom: Will you please go in? Go in.
Chintu again smiles to himself, he is enjoying this.
Kajal's dad (defiant): Why should I go in?
Kajal's mom (sternly): Becasue I'm saying so.
Chintu can't control himself and he almost giggles.
Kajal's dad quietly gets up and goes inside.

Kajal's mom (to Chintu): And you too.

Chintu, still smiling, gets up and goes inside.
Vivek (to Kajal's mom): It would help if you could talk to Kajal.
Kajal's mom: It's upto her beta, we will go by whatever she decides but I'll talk to her......If you
both still love each other then we won't get in the way, we want both of you to be happy.
Vivek (sipping his tea): Thank you aunty.
CUT TO:
Kajal's hotel room.
Kajal is dressed in jeans and in a cool white top and is standing in front of a long mirror in her
room, checking herself out.
She looks at herself and her expression says that something doesn't seem right, she looks at her
jeans.
CUT TO:
A close up shot of Kajal riding a scooty
The camera pulls back and we see that she's wearing denim shorts, she cut her jeans and made
them into a pair of shorts.

her.
She looks happy and free as she zips down the road passing tourist busses and cars.

Suddenly her cellphone starts ringing.
She parks to the side next to a guy selling lemons and picks up her phone. It's her mom. As she
picks up the phone she can't take eyes off the lemons which are the size of oranges.

Kajal (excited to hear from her mom): Mooooom!!!!!

Mom: How are you doing?
Kajal: I'm doing great....you won't believe this.
Mom: What?
Kajal: The lemons here are HUGE, the size of mosambi's.
Mom: Where are you?
Kajal: Positano.
Mom: Where???
Kajal: Italy mom....It's beautiful.
Mom: Vivek came home today.
Kajal doesn't say anything for a moment or two.
Kajal (after a pause): What did he say?
Mom: He apologised and said he loves you and wants to marry you.
Again, Kajal doesn't say anything.
Kajal: He came to Venice to meet me.
Mom: Ya, he told us......do you want to marry him?
Kajal is quiet.
Kajal (after a pause): I don't know mom, maybe......What did dad say?
Mom: Nevermind your dad, he's losing it.....Vivek is a good guy and he realised he made a
mistake, you'll be happy with him.
Kajal: Let's see.
Mom: We all miss you a lot.
Kajal (with tears in her eyes): I miss you all too.
Mom: You take care sweetie.

on the glass outside. She then looks at her hair in the glass reflection and walks inside.
CUT TO:
Kajal sitting in the barber chair inside and a funny looking barber is standing behind her.
Barber (feeling Kajal's hair): You have very nice hair signora.

Barber (surprised): Chop it off?
Kajal: Yes, chop it off.
Barber: A little?
Kajal: No, a lot.
Barber: A lot?
Kajal (turning around looking at the barber): Yes.
Barber: Are you sure?

Kajal (again turning around looking at the barber) : Yes!!!!!

The barber, scared, quickly starts cutting her hair.
CUT TO:
Kajal's house in Delhi.
It's late in the night, Kajal's parents on the dining table talking.
Kajal's dad: We still have lots of old cards left, lets change the date and send them.....I'm not
printing new cards.
Kajal's mom: You want us everyone to laugh at us?....Stop thinking about money all the time.
Kajal's dad: Someone has to think about the money......Did you know the wedding hall people
never gave back the deposit?.....And plus her trip expenses....have you seen the credit card bill?
Kajal's mom: Be glad she went on a trip, they would never have gotten back together otherwise.
Kajal's dad: I wish they hadn't.....he is not the right guy for her.
Kajal's mom: What kind of a dad are you?
Kajal's dad: A sensible one.
CUT TO:
(may be this scene could happen between the 3 boys and her where they all have long hair and
they have all gone to a salon for a hair cut)
The barber shop in Amalfi.
The hair cut is done and Kajal looks at it in the mirror, with the scared looking barber standing
behind her waiting for her reaction.
Her hair is really short now and is looking really cute.

The barber get excited and is relieved.
Barber: You like?
Kajal: Yea....From now on only you will get my hair.

Barber (excited): Grazie.....grazie.

She walks in, it's empty and beautiful inside.
She sits on the last bench, she is still high.
CUT TO:
The next morning, the Sunday mass is on in the church which is full of people.
The camera then shows Kajal fast asleep on the last bench.

happened.
Kajal (to the people in the elevator): My hair....where's my hair?
The people look at her blankly.
CUT TO:

Kajal in her bathroom in front of the mirror, looking at her hair, still dazed and then slowly she
breaks into a smile as she likes her new haircut.
(TIGER, IM NOT SURE IF THE FOLLOWING PART WORKS, TELL ME WHAT YOU

Suddenly her room phone rings, she rushes out and picks it up.
Receptionist: Signora, there is a visitor for you?

Receptionist: Yes signora.....should I send him up?
Kajal: No, I'll come down.
Kajal hangs up and wonders who it is.

Kajal in the lift.
The lift stops at the lobby, Kajal walks out of the lift and she freezes.
She sees Marcello sitting in the lobby.
He looks at her and gets up.

She reaches close to him and they both look at each other.
Marcello: You left without saying goodbye.
Kajal (sheepish): I'm sorry......I er.....you were sleeping and I didn't want to wake you up.
Marcello: You did not even leave a note.
Kajal: I...I should have.....I'm sorry...really.
Marcello just looks at her.
Kajal: How did you know I was here?

Marcello: You said you were going to Positano so I called all the hotels in Positano to find
you.
Kajal (shakes her head and smiles): You are crazy.
Marcello (with a slight smile): A little......and this is for you.
And gives her a bottle of wine.
Kajal (taking the bottle): Thank you.

She looks at them, smiles and waves and walks towards them but they don't recongise her and
continue to look for her.
She is not standing almost right in front of them and they still don't recognise her and are still
stretching their heads to look for her.

Kajal takes off her sunglasses and stands right in front of them now.
All 3 look at her still not sure if it's Kajal. then their eyes slowly widen when they realise it is
Kajal.

the house.
Kajal just smiles at her.
