SCENE 10: The release of the supplementary exam results. Sameer comes to the principal's office to receive his results. He looks very nervous. There are a few other students also there to get their results. The principal hands out the results by calling the students' names. She gets to Sameer's result. She looks at it, looks at him, then back to the results. Then she hands it to him and shakes her head. Sameer takes it but he does not open it. He looks at it and starts to leave the principal's office
Principal: Sameer.
Sameer: Jhi Madam.
Principal: Result kolega nahin?
Sameer looking at the results: Ghar par kolunga, Mummy keh saat.
Principal: Hmm.
Sameer is in his car, he keeps looking at the results on the passenger seat. He eventually reaches home, his mum is waiting for him at the door. She looks at his face and gets worried.
Vishakha: Sameer result milla?
Sameer holds the result out to her.
Vishakha: Kolo!
Sameer: Aap koliye Mummy, please!
By this time the rest of the family as well as Munna and Pandit have joined them. Soumani has a smirk on his face.
Soumani: Dekh Vishakha tere beta mein himmat nahin hain uska results dekhne koh. Usko gabar hain keh number kam hain.
Sameer simply looks at him. Vishakha opens the envelope. Her face registers shock. All the others look at her:
Soumani: Kiya huwa? Zero aya. Mujhe pata tha, tera beta nikhama hain.
Vishakha hands the result to him. Poonam takes it from her before Soumani can react. Poonam looks at it and breaks into a huge smile and starts dancing. Mamiji stops her and takes the results from her. She looks at it and also smiles hugely. Mamaji looks at it and starts doing a hugely funny dance. Sameer, Munna and Pandit look at all this in wonder. Eventually...
Vishakha: Sameer, 95%!
Sameer: Kiya?
Vishakha hugs Sameer: Congratulations! Congratulations! I am so so sooo proud of you!!
Sameer's in a state of shock. Munna-Pandit take the result from Devang and look at it. They hug Sameer and dance around him, pick him up shoulder high. Devang and Mamaji join in and do a victory dance with Sameer shoulder high. Poonam, Mamaiji and Vishakha dance too.
Poonam: Ab party bant hain!
Vishakha: Zaroor.
Soumani is furious. He wants to see the result but Sameer is holding it well out of his reach. He storms off whilst the celebration continues.
SCENE 11: Sameer, Munna and Pandit are in his room. Sameer is looking at the results again and again.
Munna: Kiya huwa Bhai?
Pandit: Results par yakeen nahin hain?
Sameer: Yaar, yeh sapna toh nahin hain nah?
Munna and Pandit slap him on each cheek.
Sameer: Ooowww. Kyon maar the ho?
Munna: Laga?
Pandit: Toh sapna nahin hain.
Munna: Bhai hamara 95% number laya!!!!
Sameer: Yeh shart poora hogaya. Kal seh nayi exam shuru.
Pandit: Matlab?
Sameer shows them the letter from the College.
Munna: Toh tu hum seh alag class meh padega?
Sameer: Hmm.
Pandit: Aur us larkhi joh tere saat music room meh thi seh door rahega?
Sameer: Hmm.
Pandit: Principal koh kaisi gabar hain keh music room tere saat khon the?
Sameer: Principal neh kahan larkhi gud unne bataya. Toh Naina seh door rahunga. Woh maan bhi gayi.
Munna: Nahin! Matlab Naina seh door nahin!
Pandit: Haan, hum seh door!
Sameer: Kiya, tum log seh door kyon? Tum log tori mere saat music room meh the!
Flashback: Munna in Naina's clothes hugging Poonawala.
Munna and Pandit tell him what they had done. He listens in amazement.
Pandit: Haan yaar, Poonawala kha shakal dekhne liak tha.
Sameer: Toh tum dono neh yeh sab kiya mere liye?
Munna: Haan, bhai hain hamara.
Sameer: Ab hum kiya karenge college mein, akele akele.
Pandit: Yeh principal madam bhi bari chalak hain!
Munna: Kohi baat nahin. Ekh saal college keh baar milenge. Tere ekh saal waste toh nahin huwi.
SCENE 12: First day of the new college year. Sameer arrives at college alone. Munna and Pandit also arrive but they walk right past him without so much as looking at him.
Munna (under his breath): Good luck bhai.
Pandit (under his breath): Law Garden, paanch baje.
Preeti and Naina see Sameer going into another class. They are sad.
Preeti: Jijaji kah result aya?
Naina: Gabar nahin. Mujse door rehne kah shart maan liya ab uska chitti khi intizaar karne padega.
In class the Principal, JBR and Poonawala come. They inform the class of the conditions under which Sameer has been allowed to write the supplementary examination.
Kartik slaps the desk: Saala rusticate nahin huwa.
Sunaina: Aur mera plan fail!
Principal: Toh us larkhi joh Sameer keh saat music room meh thi, Sameer seh door rahigi. Agar saat dekhne meh ayi toh donoh koh rusticate karoongi. Samjhi?
She looks at Sunaina, Naina, Preeti, Kamya, Swati and Munna in turn. Each one nods.
SCENE 13: Red Rose Restaurant: Sunaina, Kartik, Priyank, and Mithali are there very upset.
Kartik: Priyank hum neh kiya kuch nahin kiya, phir bhi saala Sameer bach gaya. Uska kismet achi hain.
Sunaina: Mein Principal ma'm keh paas gayi yeh soch keh woh humare parents bulayegi. Izzat bachane keh liye papa seh kehti keh woh meri shaadi Sameer seh maang lehta. Sab bekaar hogaya!
Naina, Preeti, Kamya, Hema, Pandit and Munna come in and over hear their conversation. They sit down and place their order. Just then Sameer walks in. Everyone except Priyank and Kartik get up to leave. Sameer looks confused. Sunaina pushes past all of them angrily.
Pandit: Kiya karein, plan fail hogayi. Ghussa ayega nah!!
They all laugh. Outside Red Rose Munna stops abruptly.
Munna: Ekh baat bataye aap sab kyon ut kar chale ayi?
Naina: Tu ne suna principal neh kiya bhola. Joh larkhi Sameer keh saat music room meh thi usse door rehna nito rusticate karogi. Mein neh Sameer koh bholdiya keh hum woh shart kha palan kareinge.
Pandit: Teek hain. Naina kyon nikal ayi, samajh meh aya. Tum log kyon nikle?
They each start telling their own story of how they had told the principal it was them in the music room. They all laugh heartily.
Preeti: Ab hum sab khi waje jaan gayi, bata tum donoh Sameer koh akela kyon chor diya?
Pandit: Matlab?
Naina: Aap donoh yahan kyon hain?
Pandit: Oooh! Munna tu bata!
Munna: Nahin Pandit bata!
Naina: Bataaa!
Flashback as Pandit and Munna tell their story.
Preeti: Matlab, tu phir seh Munni bana!
They have a hearty laugh.
Naina suddenly looks worried.
Preeti: Kiya huwa?!
Naina: Yaar Sameer akela hogaya. Ab woh Kartik aur Priyank usko tang karega.
They all look worried and deep in thought.
Preeti: Pandit tu principal koh nahin bataya keh tu Sameer keh saat tha nah. Matlab, tu larkhi nahin bani nah?
Pandit: Haan, nahin, mein larkhi nahin bani, mein bahar tha.
Naina: Toh tu Sameer keh saat mil sakta.
Pandit: Haan, woh sahin hain.
Kamya: Hema bhi bahar thi.
Naina: Woh acha hain. To tu aur Pandit Sameer kah saat reh sakte hain.
They're all happy. So Hema and Pandit go back into the restaurant. Kartik and Priyank are trying to bait Sameer. He just ignores them.
Sameer: Kiya huwa? Sab kyon chale gayi?
Pandit: Yahan nahin. Chal.
They go out and in a quiet place tell him what had happened. They all have a good laugh. Then there's an announcement over the intercom system.
"All students are required to congregate in the auditotium for assembly immediately.
They all make their way to the auditorium. Once everyone is seated the principal goes onto the stage.
Principal: Students, Welcome. Old students welcome back. New students welcome to VJN. This assembly has been called on short notice as Mr Padayachee from the Department of Education has an announcement to make. So let's welcome Mr Padayachee.
Mr Padayachee: Good Afternnon students. The purpose of my visit today is to announce the final results. These final results take into account the performance of students during the final examinations and include those who had to write supplementary examinations. I am very pleased to announce the results as follows. As I call out your name please come to the stage.
He calls out a number of names for various courses and years. Different students come up.
Mr Padayachee: And now for the second year BCOM degree in third place we have Punit Singh. In second place, Naina Agarwal.
Naina looks shocked. Preeti and the rest of the gang says Kiya?
Mr Padayachee: Silence please. Ms Agarwal please come to the stage.
Naina gets up and quickly walks to the stage wondering if she came second who came first.
Mr Padayachee: And in first place we have with 95%... Sameer Maheshwari.
Munna Pandit erupt into a dance of ecstacy. Kamya and Hema are happy. Preeti is happy but looks at Naina worriedly. Naina is smiling with tears in her eyes. Sameer is sitting stunned in disbelief.
Mr Padayachee: Sameer Maheshwari please stage par ayiye.
Munna and Pandit find him and escort him to the stage. He looks in a daze. When he gets to the stage he sees Naina and then looks at the principal. He goes to the principal.
Sameer: Madam mein stage par nahin jha sakta.
Principal: Kyon?
Sameer: Naina hain. Aap koh shart yaad hain.
Principal: Woh sab choro, ghushi kah mauka hain. Tu jha.
Principal takes him personally forward.
How will Naina handle this loss to Sameer? Will it spur a healhy competition between them and thus bring out their true potential? Will this achievement awaken in Sameer the will to fulfil his true potential? Who knows?
