My Birthday Song (2018)

1
Its been a year.
and like every year,
we had a party at home.
The same old friends,
the same music,
food and celebration...
and the same old jokes.
Dude, Delhis rain,
politics and traffic...
are so unpredictable.
I wont be surprised if
it snows next month...
and we have to walk around in snow boots!
I dont see her.
Shes gone to see her grandmother,
shell be here soon.
Oh. And the kids?
Theyre with Ritu.
They'll be here soon.
Have you got any tests done?
Yes! On Monday when he was at school,
he got fever.
And then, I took him to the hospital
for a blood test.
The doctors confirmed
what we were scared of.
Dont worry. He will get better soon.
His ad agency is also doing so well.
Look there!
When did this happen?
Well, it just did.
What do you mean by that?
or else Ritu will kill me
for telling you before her.
Where have you reached?
-When?
span style="style.default1"-That I dont know. Shes not telling me./span
Give me the phone. Ill tell her.
Achala, will you marry me?
Could you give the phone to Rajiv please?
Excuse me. Yes, Ritu?
Where have you reached?
Her fever is still very high.
Should I come over?
I was so excited!
she needs you more.
Birthdays come around every year.
Hey! I was on time this time.
I was outside on a call for half an hour.
I swear.
Really? Show me your phone.
Wait.
Sandys from Toronto.
By the way,
Here.
Happy Birthday.
What is this?
Are you giving me blessings?
Dude! Bali. Three nights, four days.
Gift from you?
Did I say that?
Its from Ritu.
Im just the travel agent.
What do you mean, "knew it"?
Were getting married.
Oh no!
Why?
"To the dude! The greatest friend!"
Hey, where are you going?
It was great fun.
Wait for a while?
No man, I have to wake up early for work.
Ill drop her.
Don't be silly bro,
wouldn't have missed it for anything
But, you were still late.
Dont look at me like that, Im married.
Okay, listen!
Look, Sir.
Someone spilled their drink.
Vijay, clean it tomorrow.
Sir, just two minutes.
Clean it in the morning.
You can go now.
Okay, Sir.

span style="style.default1"Greetings. I am Sapna. I am from Meerut./span
span style="style.default1"And this is my profile./span
span style="style.default1"I am 5'5" and I have done theater act./span
span style="style.default1"Thank you./span
Annie, its a commercial for perfumes,
not detergents!
Pull out the model database.
Yash, dont just stare at your food.
Start eating.
Okay baby, Ive spoken to the caterer.
When are you coming home?
I dont know, granny is still unwell.
Hopefully everything will be fine
by the evening.
How do you know?
I told you?
Yes.
When?
You desperately need memory tablets.
Who is this?
Oh! How did this get here?
She had featured
in one of our earlier ads.
Ill take it out.
What's this, bro?
You're calling me on your own birthday?
Couldnt wait for my call or what?
span style="style.default1"-Okay listen/span
span style="style.default1"-Shoot./span
Im going to ask you something,
but please dont ask me any questions.
Yeah, yeah, tell me.
Are you bringing someone along
to the party tonight?
You bum! Do you know her?
Why?
I dont know.
A lot of strange things
are happening since morning.
Are you alright?
Could you give me her number?
Shes staying at the Radisson Blu Plaza.
Ill see you in the evening.
You seem to be in quite a hurry,
what happened?
What's happened? Have you done something?
Where are you going?
-Sir...
-Show me your license.
What are you looking up for?
Wake up! Concentrate on the road.
And drive carefully.
Your car breaks down
on this isolated road,
and at that very moment, a mechanic
shows up with a tool kit in his hands.
A fortunate day like this
can only be someone's birthday, right?
Come, let's fix your car.
This is a really nice ride.
But, what to do?
The weather keeps changing.
And in this weather,
you must keep your cool.
An angry mind can prove to be dangerous!
There you go!
Ive fixed your vehicle.
Oh...
One problem leads to another.
You have a flat Tyre,
I'll need to change it.
These car manufacturers
have invented this great thing.
The spare tyre.
If you ever have a flat Tyre...
you can just replace the old one
and move on.
If only life was like that.
One could replace their problems
in the blink of an eye.
And move on, like nothing ever happened.
But in reality,
whenever a problem arises...
It takes its pound of flesh.
You can run from
one holy place to another...
But as you sow, so shall you reap!
How else will a person atone his sins?
One can't replace his problems
all his life.
What you see is an illusion,
and what you don't is real.
Youre surrounded by darkness,
there is no end to this night.
I am not me.
You are not you.
A single truth remains hidden
in all the lies.
As the dark clouds hide the sun,
they whisper a moonless night!
Your Sandy is ready, Sir!
span style="style.default1"My eyes have woven a dream,/span
span style="style.default1"And in this dream stands a man, wounded/span
Happy Anniversary Mr. Kaul.
span style="style.default1"Shattered memories,/span
span style="style.default1"splashed across a mirror/span
span style="style.default1"Her breath of longing/span
span style="style.default1"gathered on a cold floor/span
span style="style.default1"My lines of destiny have forsaken me/span
span style="style.default1"Running off and crushing my future/span
span style="style.default1"This wounded dream within me/span
span style="style.default1"Will destroy me,/span
span style="style.default1"becoming a reflection of my being/span
Madhu, see who's at the door.
Hello, Sir, happy birthday!
Ma'am, Sir is here!
How come you're here?
I was just passing by,
thought Id ask about granny.
Oh! I just got here too.
I was picking up
some groceries for granny.
Granny! Look whos here to see you!
Happy birthday, daddy!
Hey, kiddos...
What gift will you give me today?
No, silly! We are supposed to
give something to him today.
Come here, son!
Coming.
Hello, Granny.
Hello, son.
May you live a long life!
But Im feeling so guilty
that its your birthday
and Ritu has to be here with me.
Sorry, son.
Have you taken your medicines?
Yes, I have.
You rest for a while, Ill be right back.
Son, have some tea before you leave.
Sure.
Okay, Vicky, listen.
I'll have to hang up.
Ill speak to you later.
Who was it?
You hung up very abruptly.
Why do you look so scared?
No, Im not.
Sure?
Youre not hiding anything from me?
Nothing at all.
Whats all this?
Whats going on?
I saw you.
I saw the both of you together.
You were with Vicky!
I always knew there was something going on
between the two of you.
But you were buying groceries, right?
What is this whole deal with Sandy?
Tell me, what is it?
Tell me!
What are you trying to prove?
That Im going mad?
You really want to know?
Wait.
Three nights and four days
in Bali for all of us.
Dude, Bali! Three nights, four days.
I wanted to do
something special for your birthday.
Thats why I had gone to meet him.
Im not having an affair with Vicky.
After all these years?
Vickys friend.
I had gone to meet her at the hotel.
We both were talking, and...
Her head hit the edge of the table.
One minute.
Did you inform the police?
No.
I was really scared,
so I ran away from there.
But nobody saw you both together, right?
No.
We were alone in her room.
Why did you meet a friend's friend
alone in a hotel room?
I...
Tell me the truth.
Ritu...
Nothing like that happened today.
Today?
Today?
That means something has happened before!
Youve met her before?
Seven or eight years ago.
After that I never met her again.
Youve got it all wrong, I...
I never met her again.
I...
I'm sitting here,
planning your birthday party,
while youre off having fun
with a woman in a hotel room
I...
I had gone to tell her
not to come to the party.
What?
You invited her to the party?
No! It wasn't me, it was Vicky.
I had only gone to tell her not to come,
because I had a terrible nightmare--
Stop all this nonsense!
All these years
Ive been ignoring your affairs...
Just to maintain peace.
I know exactly what you were up to.
That's why you weren't answering
my calls, right?
You'd called?
When?
How does it matter when?
But I didnt hear the phone ring.

Whats her room number?
Im sorry, Sir, but,
there is no reservation under this name.
No Sir, there's no one.
Sir, Ive already told you.
Theres no guest in this hotel
under that name.
span style="style.default1"When everyone realizes/span
span style="style.default1"the darkness in your intentions/span
span style="style.default1"The world will witness you/span
span style="style.default1"bury you within yourself/span
What did you think?
Id actually leave you?
Everyone makes mistakes, Rajiv.
Nobody is perfect.
For me the most important thing is...
you told me everything.
Yes?
Okay, come on.
Everybodys been waiting for you.
You have to cut the cake too.
Okay, now.
Everyones waiting for you.
And then every morning,
