00:14When Prashant Bhaiya needed Rana Tigrina for Biopractical,
00:20we used to search the village for her.
00:25We used to follow her.
00:28In English, it's called Ribbit Ribbit.
00:35While following Rana Tigrina, we used to wonder
00:39if there's only one frog in her life
00:42whom she calls Tar-Tar.
00:45Or else, whenever she sees a frog,
00:48her tongue starts fluttering,
00:50and she starts saying Tar-Tar.
00:53Bro, are we also frogs of the weather
00:57who are saying Tar-Tar for a frog?
01:14You guys don't let me study in college.
01:16Let me study here.
01:17We came here to have some fun.
01:18Come on, get out of here.
01:19Oh, my dear.
01:21Now, wherever you are, we are there.
01:24We're friends.
01:25It's not like we're just hanging out.
01:27From tomorrow, we'll hug, kiss,
01:29coaching, classes.
01:30We'll do everything together.
01:32Don't start chit-chatting now.
01:34We'll chit-chat.
01:35Even the kids will do it with you.
01:37Because we're friends.
01:39We'll have to do it, right?
01:41Yoban.
01:43Shashank.
01:44Rajat.
01:45We're Shashank.
01:48Muscle.
01:49And you're our brain.
01:52Your face and your gym.
01:54It's not going to work for IAS.
01:56Why?
01:58Are people who go to the gym useless?
02:01We have 20 friends, IAS, IPS,
02:04who go to the gym and build bodies.
02:06Look, bro.
02:07First of all, we're here to study
02:09instead of hanging out with him.
02:11And he's showing us around.
02:15Topper.
02:17Yes, bro.
02:18Do only toppers have the right
02:20to prepare for UPSC?
02:22No, no.
02:23Anyone can try.
02:25You two can join whenever you want.
02:29Thank you, bro.
02:35The three of us will come tomorrow.
02:47What happened?
02:49Why did you two refuse to join?
02:52You'll understand in a few days.
02:54They're not stupid.
02:55I see.
02:57And what were you like as a kid?
03:02He's still a kid.
03:05Life will take his fun too.
03:09Let him have some fun.
03:10What's the problem?
03:13Life took your fun away.
03:16That's why you're so serious.
03:18You study all the time.
03:20You don't even come to the village.
03:23Everyone has forgotten your face.
03:26It's good if they forget.
03:34I had a mother.
03:37I wanted to have one.
03:40I wanted to have one.
03:43My mother
03:47used to wait for me.
03:51But what about people?
03:54They only have questions.
03:57How old are you?
03:58What will you do?
03:59When is your last attempt?
04:01What will you do if you fail?
04:02When will you get married?
04:03I'll get married when I feel like it.
04:11Brother.
04:13When you're in the blue light,
04:15everyone will shut up.
04:22Blue lights aren't that bad.
04:24There are people who love them.
04:29Your student's grandson is in coaching.
04:32If he's selected, why won't you?
04:34Because even Ramakant Acharya couldn't make himself Sachin Tendulkar.
04:41When we used to play cricket in the village,
04:43you used to do the opening.
04:45You used to play tuk-tuk all the time.
04:48But in slow-mo, you used to hit sixes and fours.
04:52You used to read the whole game.
04:57You're in the blue light, brother.
05:01Your last attempt is in slow-mo.
05:05This isn't your last attempt.
05:07It's in slow-mo.
05:11You're Prashant.
05:15The boy from our village who cracked the Central University exam.
05:20You're the boy who taught all the boys in the village to dream.
05:25We came here because of you.
05:27Who will it be if you don't succeed?
05:31You've started talking a lot these days.
05:36Good.
05:38Prashant is not just our elder brother.
05:41He's also our brother-in-law.
05:44He's our guide.
05:46He's our role model.
05:48If we want to follow in his footsteps,
05:51we have to chant the mantras given by Newton and Pythagoras.
05:56We have to burn the love of acetylene, sulphur and methane in our hearts.
06:07He's right. Clap for him.
06:12Rajat!
06:15Sorry, we have to stay away from such distractions.
06:26Let's go.
06:42Rajat!
06:44Rajat, wait!
06:47Where have you been?
06:50Just like that.
06:52Where are you going?
06:53I have to go to the chem lab. I'm getting late.
06:55Okay.
06:56Let's go and eat something.
07:04Thank you.
07:09We're doing an iron test.
07:11Test?
07:12What's this?
07:14Potassium permanganate.
07:16What happens with this?
07:23Hmm.
07:25What do we have now?
07:28Come on.
07:29Pick up the pot and put it down.
07:30Go and get ironed.
07:32We'll do it later.
07:33Stop it.
07:34He's our brother.
07:35Let's go.
07:37Oh, hi.
07:39Hold this.
07:40We'll be back.
07:47We'll do an inorganic mixer test.
07:49We'll do an analysis.
07:51Make a team of two.
07:53And start the acid-oil test.
07:56Okay?
07:58That's great, son.
08:00We're your luck.
08:03I'll wash the test tube and get it.
08:05Leave some space for us.
08:06Yes, sir.
08:08Oh.
08:09I wanted to team up with you.
08:11I hope it's okay.
08:15What happened?
08:16Is there a problem in teaming up with me?
08:19Rajat.
08:20And Prerna.
08:21You haven't started yet?
08:23We're doing it, sir.
08:26Okay, tell me.
08:27What's your name?
08:28Rajat.
08:29Rajat.
08:30Rajat.
08:31Rajat.
08:32Rajat.
08:33Rajat.
08:34Rajat.
08:35Rajat.
08:36At least tell me what you're doing.
08:38Didn't you study in 12th grade?
08:40I told you my chemistry is weak.
08:44Why are you avoiding me?
08:47Ferric chloride is added to the original solution to test the acid-iodine.
08:51If the acid-iodine is present in the original solution,
08:54its colour will turn red like blood.
08:56His cheeks turn red like blood.
08:59When it comes close,
09:01his breath stops.
09:03Go.
09:04Bring the ferric chloride.
09:07Thank you.
09:18What's this?
09:20I asked for ferric chloride,
09:21and you brought ferric sulphate.
09:24Are you going to make me fail along with you?
09:28Mr. Rajat.
09:31I'm the only one who has the right to instigate students in this college.
09:34Why are you shouting?
09:37Lower your eyes.
09:39Lower your eyes.
09:42Go out.
09:44Out.
09:45Meet me outside.
09:59Prashant told me
10:01that a student like you wouldn't have come to the college before today.
10:05Thank God.
10:06A rude student like you
10:08has never come before today.
10:10There shouldn't be such rudeness in our class from now on.
10:18Shut up.
10:21Shut up.
10:23Rude fellow.
10:29Mr. Dixit.
10:31Did you see this girl?
10:32What?
10:35What do I tell you, ma'am?
10:38Prashant's...
10:39He's my brother.
10:40He told me.
10:41He told you?
10:42Yes.
10:43Didn't he tell you how she behaved?
10:46Okay.
10:47She yelled at her classmate.
10:51Prashant told me
10:52that he's a nice guy.
10:54He's a topper.
10:55He's preparing for UPSC.
10:57But looking at his attitude,
10:59I don't think
11:02he will crack.
11:03Really?
11:05The girl he yelled at...
11:07Yes.
11:08There's something between them.
11:11Yes.
11:15Rajat!
11:18Rajat!

12:10Rajat!
12:11Rajat!
12:12Are you okay, Rajat?
12:15You... My name?
12:18Prashant told me.
12:19We are Prashant's friends.
12:21Chaya Tripathi, Assistant Professor, Psychology.
12:24We were together in the first year.
12:26Then he started preparing for UPSC.
12:28I did my PhD and joined the professorship.
12:31I saw you in Prashant's cabin that day.
12:34But I couldn't talk to you.
12:35I also take classes there.
12:37Prashant talks a lot about you.
12:39He praises you a lot.
12:41In fact, he praises you so much that
12:42I was quite surprised to see Dixit sir shouting at you.
12:46What happened in his class?
12:50I have to go to class.
12:53Okay.
12:54See you.
13:01See you.
13:22What's wrong with you guys?
13:24Eating insects,
13:25scaring frogs,
13:26snakes and cold.
13:27Go to hell!
13:32I wish I was a frog.
13:34If I couldn't handle the cold,
13:35I would have gone into the mud and hibernated.
13:43You don't have to focus on your studies
13:44to shout at the world.
13:46You have to compete.
13:47You have to be proud of your knowledge.
13:52Do you want to play with colours?
13:55If you manage to shout tomorrow,
13:57you will have to meet all kinds of people.
14:02What will you do if you bump into an illiterate?
14:05Will you kick him out?
14:09You have come to study, right?
14:14I will talk to him.
14:17Come.
14:19Let's have tea.
14:20Let's go.
14:23What happened with the frog?
14:27Relax.
14:28Dixit sir has only complained about your misbehaviour.
14:31He hasn't given a reason.
14:33Your brother Prashant doesn't know anything about it.
14:44This will be our secret.
14:59Ma'am,
15:00Prerna is our classmate.
15:01Not ma'am.
15:03Chhaya.
15:07And the way Dixit sir was talking,
15:08she doesn't seem to be just a classmate.
15:11According to him,
15:12there is an exothermic reaction between you two.
15:21Raja,
15:22you can tell me anything.
15:24You can tell me anything.
15:26Even the things that you can't tell your brother Prashant.
15:35Chhaya,
15:37Prerna is our classmate.
15:40And we like her.
15:43That's natural.
15:45What's the problem?
15:48We haven't come here to do all this.
15:54So do one thing.
15:55Get up, sleep, toilet, toothbrush.
15:58Stop everything.
15:59Just sit and study.
16:05You don't understand love, romance,
16:07love, friendship.
16:13You need a little spice in life.
16:16You need a little pizza of love.
16:18You need biryani of friendship.
16:21You need a drink of friendship.
16:25Everyone comes to study, sir.
16:28But will you only study books?
16:31Who will study life?
16:36But,
16:38Prerna has a boyfriend.
16:41Who told you this?
16:44Prerna, her boyfriend or the world?
16:46She has a boyfriend.
16:48And they are together since school.
16:52I swear.
16:53You are so jealous.
16:55You don't even know if it's a friend or a boyfriend.
16:57You just want to burn the bonfire of disloyalty
16:59and dance around him.
17:02At least ask her what her scene is.
17:05And assume that she has a boyfriend.
17:07So what?
17:09Can't you be friends with her?
17:11You can't be friends with her.
17:13You can't be friends with her.
17:15You can't be her coach.
17:18Is there a relationship bigger than friendship?
17:24And if you want to be someone's boyfriend,
17:26then do some work for yourself.
17:30What kind of hairstyle is this?
17:32And you have come to college.
17:35And this check shirt of a government official.
17:39You could have at least put it on your arm.
17:41You have come to college as an uncle.
17:45And this meru dand.
17:47Straight.
17:48Do you understand meru dand?
17:50Spine.
17:51Spine. Correct.
17:54Lift your shoulder and walk.
17:56Like a man.
17:58And the most important thing.
18:02Look into his eyes and talk to him.
18:07Shows confidence.
18:10Understood?
18:13Understood?
18:15Understood?
18:23Rajat, have you gone mad?
18:25You shouted at Prerna in front of everyone.
18:27She has been going to Himalayas to shout at Prerna since morning.
18:29Now you guys don't come here.
18:31Don't be friends with her.
18:33What?
18:34Don't be what?
18:35Friends.
18:37Don't be what?
18:42Come on.
18:43Shop for us.
18:45We want modern clothes.
18:49But they are cheap.
18:52Modern.
18:54Cheap.
18:56Them?
18:58Cock wants to be peacock.
19:01Cock.
19:13Cock.
19:26Shopping is done.

20:28What's going on with
20:30Gyming and Shopping?
20:38We have
20:40Learnt something.
20:42The same knowledge that the Lord Buddha got under a banyan tree
20:47and Guru Nanak Devji got on the banks of a river.
20:53This is me.
20:56Let go of this.
21:00I didn't understand one thing.
21:05A boy and a girl can also be friends.
21:12Anyway, now I have understood everything.
21:27Lucknow has taught me everything.
21:30I see, son.
21:31You didn't understand our friendship of so many days.
21:34You have learnt everything from the friendship of tomorrow's girl.
21:39You pervert!
21:42Where did you get this knowledge from?
21:55Listen carefully.
21:57The teacher is here.
21:59Teacher?
22:00Where?
22:01The teacher is here.
22:13I am not a pervert.
22:16I am Rana Tikri.
22:21I am Rana Tikri.
22:31I am Rana Tikri.
