Ok if you could “steal” something from SMZS and bring it in your life, what would it be???

[theaceaquarius]

Spoilers for SMZS!!!

idk if I'm really late to the party or if I've actually uncovered smth here, but I think I figured out where the "aap hi duniya ho" scene was supposed to go.

Ok, so, by clothing we can deduce that the scene comes directly after when mama tripathi tells everyone that Aman has agreed to marry Kusum, "if no one hurts Karthik". In that scene they make a point of having aman disappear from the first floor and sunaina asks where he's gone.

From there I'm guessing the camera would pan down to see Aman w/ Karthik a.k.a. the Forhead Touch scene and then it would eventually end with the "aap hi duniya ho" line.

Now, on one hand we could suppose that it was cut because it'd feel too much like an ending before the actually climax BUT having the scene IN would:

Recontextualise why Karthik is so pissed and confused with Aman's wedding getup

Give reason for sunaina, chaman and eventually shankar's change of heart

Be amazing

In conclusion, we were ROBBED

Kartik makes sure the flag is correctly set around his neck.

He isn’t nervous. He probably should be, considering what he’s gonna do, but there’s this rush of adrenaline in him, and he feels invincible.

He is so thankful Rajni convinced him to do this. This was his Amitabh Bachhan moment, and he’d be damned if he didn’t saviour every moment of it.

He takes a deep breath. With the microphone in his hand, he steps forward, so he is in everyone’s view.

“Bhaiyon aur Behenon” He does a dramatic turn, ready to give a speech on homophobia, that was bound to leave them speechless. (He’d prepared for it the entire time they’d taken to reach here, and he was proud of it.)

As he turns around, the first thing he sees is all the family gathered in front of the tree, looking at him. He has an audience, exactly what he wan-

And then he sees it. Aman. No, not Aman. A framed photo of him. And the garland of flowers around it.

His heart drops. He looks at the scene below him, frozen. There’s the pundit, and there’s the entire family… except for Aman.

“Chalaa ja yaar.” Aman had said. But, Kartik hadn’t listened. He’d been selfish, he’d stayed. And now…

“A-Aman..”, he whispers. His eyes fill with tears, his throat tightens, and there’s this ache in his chest. Everything hurts.

Aman. Aman. Aman. Where have you gone? It’s unbearable how he feels. He’s crying and crying, and his heart feels so heavy. He drops down on his knees.

“Arey khana to khaale yaar”, Aman always pestered them before they went out for their job.

“Bas kaar na!!”, Aman had laughed that day, when they were both in their bed, and Kartik wouldn’t stop throwing the pillows at him.

“Kya baan raha hai?”, Kartik always asked, himself not helping Aman at all, letting him do all the work in the kitchen. Whatever was the answer, the food was always god-tier. “The secret ingredient is love.”, Aman would always say when asked how he cooked so good.

Who would take care of when and what he ate? Who would love him? Who would he have pillow fights with now?? Who would he call family now??

Kartik’s cries have turned into screams, and they’re horrifying, pain-filled screams. His cheeks are damp with all the tears, and yet they never seem to cease.

How will he ever live with this? It’s all his fault. All of this. He should never have insisted they come here, he should never have kissed him on the train, he should never have stayed. Aman was.. dead.. and it was because of him.

-

Down at the courtyard, the entire Tripathi family is looking at Kartik with a baffled look on their faces.

Champa is the first to realize what’s going on. She looks at Kartik, who is on his knees, and then at the base of the tree, where there’s Aman’s photo, with the flower garland around it, and suddenly it's all clear. Her heart drops for a second.

Kartik is shouting now, and there’s agony written all over his face. Champa decides she has to do something. Something before...

She shakes her head, removing any negative thoughts, and starts going towards the roof. Shankar and Chaman Tripathi, both clueless, watch as she goes past them. “Kaha ja rahi ho?”, there’s an edge to Shankar’s voice, but Champa ignores him. She starts ascending the stairs.

-

Rajni enters the gate. At the sound of the door opening, both men look towards it. Seeing Rajni enter, Chaman’s face immediately lights up with a smile.

“Rajni!! Beta tu aa gai?” he asks. But Rajni pays no heed to his question, she’s looking at Kartik, who is shouting. She’s confused. This wasn’t what they’d plann-

She looks at the courtyard and sees Aman’s photo. And the garland around it. She immediately brings up both her hands to cover her hands, her whole body numbing.

Aman wouldn’t… he couldn’t have.. Shankar and Chaman follow her gaze, and they both finally realize what is going on.

“Nahi.. Beti nahi. Esa kuch nahi hai..”, Chaman starts moving towards his daughter.

“Aghe maat aana aap.” she says, her voice breaking. “Khush hoge na aap log? Ho gayi na aapko tassalli? Tut gayi na Kartik aur Aman ki jodi!!!” She is crying now.

-

Champa reaches the roof. Kartik has stopped screaming and now looks more broken than ever. He’s whispering, “Aman. Aman. Aman.”, like it’s a prayer that will bring him back to life.

“Kartik.” she says. He doesn’t seem to hear her.

She reaches out and puts a hand on her shoulder. He flinches and turns up to look at who it is.

The look on Kartik’s face breaks Champa’s heart. His eyes are red and swollen, his cheeks are wet with all the tears, he looks heartbroken.

“Kartik. Kuch nahi huwa hai. Sab thik hai.” But he ignores her, and goes back to staring at the floor, whispering the same word, tears falling from his cheek to the ground.

Before she can explain any further, she hears Rajni shout.

-

When Sunaina and Aman get out of the room, Champa is trying to console Kartik, Rajni is crying while Shankar and Chaman are trying to explain to her that everything is fine. “

"Arey, yaha kya ho raha hai??” Sunaina asks. At the sound of her voice, Rajni turns to look towards her.

She sees Aman.

“Aman?” her voice is filled with disbelief. She runs towards him, and hugs him tightly. Aman is confused, but hugs her back. He feels her teardrops on his shoulders. He breaks the his, looks at her and asks, “Kya huwa? Sab thik toh hai?”

As she looks at Aman, she’s reminded of Kartik.

Oh God. Kartik.

“KARTIK!!” she shouts, turning towards the roof.

Champa looks towards them. Rajni points to Kartik, so as to ask her to make him turn around.

-

Kartik feels his entire world crumbling. He feels numb. He has nothing left to live for. His heart is still aching, and he feels so powerless.

“Beta. Dekho toh sahi.” Champa chachi is saying, but he ignores her.

“KARTIK!! KARTIK!!” Rajni’s voice reaches his ears. He turns his head to look towards the direction of the voice.

His vision is blurry from all the tears. But he sees that Rajni is pointing towards someone… Aman?

He wipes his eyes to make sure he isn’t hallucinating. He really hopes he isn’t. He can’t afford to have his heart broken again.

He looks again. Aman. Is. Still. There. Aman. He’s alive.

The feeling he feels in his heart is unreal. This, he realizes, is true happiness. He slowly stands up, his legs shaking. Champa holds his arm, giving him support. He shakily comes down the stairs, looking at Aman the entire time, not blinking even once, afraid he’ll disappear.

Aman has a tired look on his face. He’s wearing glasses, and a shirt which Kartik knows wasn’t Aman’s choice. He looks fed up, like he’s gonna let the world win. Like, he’s ready to give up.

“Aman.” he says just this one word.

“Woh ab Aman nahi hai. Hum usko naya naam de rahe hai. Mar gaya hai Aman.” Shankar Tripathi says, in an icy voice.

Kartik feels anger boiling within him. “Aur kitna karoge aap??” he snas. He points towards Aman. “Dekha hai aapne bete ho?? Halat kya ho gaayi hai?? Khush lag raha hai kya vo?? Kya paaoge ye kar kar??”

“Hum jo bhi kar rahe hai, soch samaj ke kar rahe hai. Tum bich me na aao, warna bhari padega tum pe.” Shankar says, glaring at his own son.

“Arey yaha par ho kya raha hai?? Kya kar rage ho aap log??” Kartik says, exasperated, laying his hands in front of him. “Bete ki aadhi zindagi nahi kati hai aur aap log antim sanskaar karne chale??”

“Hah. Hum Aman ki antim sanskaar kar rahe the. Uska naya janam hone wala tha. Ab yaha se chale jao, warna Aman ke saath tumhara bhi karna na pade.” Shankar Tripathi says, his voice curt and blunt, but mostly angry.

“Yaar..” Kartik puts a hand on his forehead, exasperated. “Laga tha aap log to samjhoge.” he turns around and starts walking away.

Kartik. Is. Walking. Away.

Aman feels helpless. He feels like he should do something, anything. He even opens his mouth to say something, but his mother digs her nails in his arm, so as to say, “No”. He looks at her. She isn’t looking at him, she’s looking at his father, who is glaring at him. He closes his mouth.

What is he to do now? Have they lost this battle?? His heart is breaking. Will they ever see each other again? Where is Kartik?? Is he leaving already, without a single goodbye?

“Chalo suru karte hain.” Shankar Tripathi says in a smug, satisfied voice.

They’re all just going to go to the mandap, when Rajni laughs. “Tauji, aapka problem yaha nahi waha hai.” She points towards the roof.

Aman looks. And there’s his boyfriend. Kartik. Shirtless. The pride flag around his neck. (How had missed all these details before??). A microphone in his hand.

“Bhaiyon aur behenon.” he starts, and Aman feels his heart clench with happiness.

The speech he gives is just iconic. And the look on Shankar Tripathi’s face is quite the sight to see. When Kartik shouts, “Homophobia!!! Homophobia!!! Homophobia!!”, each time doing a different pose, Aman feels his face break into a huge smile. He is so so so proud of Kartik.

Aman’s happiness spell is broken when he hears his father say in a voice filled with anger, “Beta.. Tu wahi ruk.”. Shankar Tripathi then proceeds to go inside the house.

Aman now, free from his father’s angry glared, runs up the stairs to the roof. As soon as Kartik sees him, he practically engulfs him with a hug.

“Tu thik hai.” Kartik says, and Aman feels teardrops on his shoulder.

“Main thik hi to hoon. Mujhe kya hona tha??” he is confused. “Arey, tu ro kyun raha hai?”

Kartik breaks the hug, and Aman sees his eyes are red.

“Yaar.. Tu.. Tu.. Tu maar gaya socha tha maine.” Kartik is crying again.

“Par… kyun..” Aman’s voice trails off as he turns his head towards the courtyard, where he sees the sight below him.

“Oh God.. Kartik” Aman turns towards his boyfriend, whose face is red from all the crying. He cups his face. “I’m alright. I’m right here, okay?” He wipes the tears. “Ab isse pehele ki papa aa jaye, nikalja yaha se.”

Kartik wipes his eyes. “Arey mein kaha jaunga? Kyun kahi jaunga? Aaj to ye solve karke rahunga.”

“Nahi yaar papa tujh ko-” Aman begins, but Kartik cuts him off.

“Bas papa ko shoot karne se rokle. Mere last wishes ke list hai yaar. Sun-” Before Kartik can finish, he sees Shankar Tripathi coming out of the house, holding something in his hand.

IS THAT A GUN??!! Please don’t let it be a gun, I’m not ready to die. God, no, you know I have so much left to do. Please don’t let him kill me.

Aman is pulled back by Champa chachi. Kartik is left all alone.

Shankar Tripathi isn’t carrying a gun (Kartik is so thankful). Instead, he’s carrying a stick, a huge one at that. He has this look of revenge in his eyes... 

Suddenly Kartik is once again a helpless 9 year old, he’s back in his room at Punjab.

“Papa, nahi-”

His father hadn’t even let him complete his sentence. “Ladkon ke saath ghumta reheta hai? Haan??? Sharam nahi aati tujhe?” He’d been hit with the belt once, and then again, and then again. It’d hurt, and he’d cried, but his father had been ruthless, determined to beat the homosexuality out of him.

“Agar firse maine tujhe uss ladke, ya kisi bhi ladke ke saath paya na, toh tujhe kaat ke rakh dunga.” His father’s eyes had been red with anger, and he’s been so scared that day.

Shankar Tripathi’s eyes remind him of his father’s eyes. He gets an uneasy feeling on his stomach. Maybe this isn’t such a good idea…

Before he can complete the thought, his eyes meet Aman’s. And he just knows. It’s either him or Aman. The latter one is obviously never going to be an option. So, he straightens his back. Yes, he’s gonna take this. For Aman. He has to. For love, for the-

The first blow lands on his back, and every single thought flies out of his mind. The pain is excruciating. Before he can compose himself, Shankar Tripathi hits him in his shoulders with another blow.

Kartik can hear Aman shouting something, but his ears are ringing and his body is hurting everywhere and he cannot make out a single word. He can hear Chaman chacha shout out, and he can hear the little gasps from Sunaina’s mouth. But he can’t fathom any of it, because Shankar Tripathi just won’t stop hitting him-

Kartik realizes he isn’t hitting him anymore. He freezes, waiting for the next blow. But it never comes. He slowly straightens his back. He looks towards Shankar Tripathi, who is standing with a pained look on his face, his hand on his back. The stick is on the ground now.

This is your chance, Kartik. You can leave if you want to.

He looks at Aman. The look on his face stops him. There’s a look of helplessness in his face, and it breaks Kartik to see him that way. He’s not gonna run away, because running away means leaving Aman alone, and he cannot have his lover’s heart broken.

So, he picks the stick from the ground, and gives it to Shankar Tripathi, who is too shocked to say a single word. Kartik looks at Aman, and nods.

The beating resumes. Kartik doesn’t even have the time to register his pain from one hit when Shankar Tripathi is on him with another.

He can feel himself getting weaker. He doesn’t know how long he can stand up.

Suddenly, he sees Aman. Coming towards him.

Aman. Aman. Aman. I love you so much.

Aman is coming towards him, and his arms are opening, preparing for a warm hug. But, Aman runs past him, up the stairs. He doesn’t even look back once. Kartik is dumbfounded.

-

His father is beating Kartik. And he’s helpless.

Aman is shouting, and trying to get to them, but Chaman is holding him back. He’s fighting, but he’s too weak. He has to do something. Anything.

Suddenly, he sees his father drop the stick; he’s too tired. He looks at Kartik, who looks just about ready to break.

Kartik. Chala ja. Yeh tera mauka hai.

Kartik even looks like he’s contemplating leaving the courtyard. But then, their eyes meet, and Aman knows. Kartik will never leave him alone.

He cannot let this go on anymore. He loves Kartik, so he really hopes he understands. He takes a deep breath.

He runs towards Kartik. Kartik looks so happy, his arms open. Aman ignores him, and runs straight upstairs towards his room. He doesn’t turn back becuase he knows what he will see will break his heart.

He enters the room, and locks the door. He now knows what he has to do.

-

Kartik stares at Aman’s room in shock. He just.. really went in like that??

For a moment, Kartik is baffled. But then, he realizes. He is trying to get all of this to stop. It only makes sense, Shankar wa-

Before he can complete his thought, Shankar Tripathi is back in his business. It’s even more unbearable now.

Just as Kartik feels like he’s gonna pass out, he hears the sound of the stick dropping, and Shankar Tripathi sighing in defeat. He looks up to see his tired face. He looks around and the entire Tripathi family looks shocked.

He spots a tap at the far side. He staggers towards it, and opens it. He then ducks under the tap so the water falls on his head.

The cold water jolts his body back to life. His steps still faltering, he stands up, facing towards the Tripathi family.

“My sexuality,” he points to himself. “is my sexuality. None of your sexuality.” Immediately after this, he feels his body give away, and he falls, losing consciousness.

[asktripathifam]

@ the whole Tripathi fam...what are your feelings concerning ducks? This question is very important to me

LOOK AT THIS BOY

LOOK AT HIM

HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU NOT LOVE DUCKS

~Aman Duck Lover Tripathi

He hasn't ever been that excited by a picture of me. I'm so hurt.

but yes to ducks <3

~kartik

Haan. I mean. No special interest but they're cute. For one thing they don't cause riots over vegetables so.

~sunaina

I don't have feelings for ducks what are you implying. Disgusting.

~shankar

Are ducks human beings? No. They are not. That automatically makes them valid in my book. It's a yes form me

~rajni 👓

Ducks! 10/10. super cute. I'd like a duck tbh.

(off topic but y'all maybe we should take Shankar tavuji off this blog. for our own sanity's sake, nahi?)

~your fave iPad boy

I like ducks. But I wouldn't eat duck eggs. Because I don't eat eggs. I'm pure vegetarian. Ducks are nice but eggs are bad.

~champa 😘

Sure. Ducks are nice, but.... What is this out of syllabus question I was told there would be questions about my epic cop shut-down keshav ye kya hai-

"Even if we lose," He said with a certainity that Aman never had, "Even if we lose everything we have, I promise you... me. I promise you my heart, over and over again."

When Aman was still in college and Kartik was just a random guy he met in Delhi and neither of them knew each other. Set four years prior to the events of Allahabad, an alphabetic prequel starring a very chaotic Kartik and a very unsure Aman. Hope you like it :)

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan Movie Review: Ayushmann Khurrana, Jitendra Kumar Carry The Film

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan Movie Review: A promotional poster of the film. (Image courtesy: ayushmannk)

Cast: Ayushmann Khurrana, Jitendra Kumar, Neena Gupta, Gajraj Rao

Director: Hitesh Kewalya

Rating: 2.5 stars (out of 5)

A gay rom-com that exhorts its characters – and its audience – to be extra wary (zyada saavdhan) is only acknowledging its own – and Indian society’s – ingrained inhibitions about same-sex love. But debutant director Hitesh Kewalya (who scripted Shubh Mangal Saavdhan before being put in independent creative charge of the follow-up) does a reasonable job of aiming sturdy, humour-laced jabs at homophobia while taking care to soften the blows so as not to rattle the public beyond a point.

The star of the film, Ayushmann Khurrana, and the actor who plays his romantic interest, Jitender Kumar, perform the difficult task of making the audience believe that the two men are so deeply in love that they think nothing of taking on the world. Not easy, but they make light of it, carrying the entire film with them.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan Movie Review: A still from the film.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan situates its story in the home of the Tripathi family of Allahabad. They are as middle-class as they come and are afflicted with all the prejudices and misconceptions about love, marriage and sex that Indians of their ilk have always nurtured. The brood is headed by Shankar Deenanath Tripathi (a terrific Gajraj Rao), a scientist who develops a variety of black cauliflower that is supposedly more nutritious than the gobi available in the market.

The breakthrough does not go down well with vegetable farmers and agitating cultivators target Tripathi’s abode. He thrives on the attention his invention has garnered. Even as matters spiral out of control and curfew is about to be imposed in the city, the Tripathis gear up for the long-awaited wedding of Rajni alias Goggle (Maanvi Gagroo, lively), daughter of Shankar’s younger brother, Chaman (Manurishi Chadha in fine form), a failed lawyer who lives in the same household with his combative wife Champa (Sunita Rajwar).

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan Movie Review: A still from the film.

To get to Gomtinagar for the nuptials, the family boards 0377 (note the number of the train) Vivaah Special Express. During the journey, Shankar catches his son, Aman (Jitendra Kumar), and his male lover Kartik Singh (Khurrana) kissing. The old man throws up: he is that repulsed by the act.

During the wedding, Aman and Kartik do a defiant repeat of their PDA. The groom, a middle-aged divorcee, calls off the wedding. Goggle, who had arrived in the shaadi ka mandap on horseback, rides away disappointed. At the railway station, she meets Kartik, who, too, has been thrown out of the wedding as punishment for his intransigence. The former prevents the latter from jumping off an over-bridge and ending her life.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan Movie Review: A still from the film.

The two spurned souls decide to take the bull by the horns, setting the stage for the second half of the film. The build-up to the final confrontation – it pans out at another wedding on the eve of the Supreme Court’s September 2018 judgment on Section 377 – is messy and over-dramatized. Finally, the film trails off into predictable terrain in order to ensure that the audience returns home with some sense of the legal standing of consensual homosexual relations in an ultra-orthodox society such as ours.

On their part, the two principal characters go about their affair without much fuss. In an early scene, to drive home their commitment to all lovers irrespective of the sexual identities involved, Kartik (still wearing his Shaktimaan costume from an advertising drill in a shopping mall) and Aman (riding a mobike that’s in urgent need of an overhaul) help a girl (Bhumi Pednekar in a cameo) elope with her lover. It isn’t without reason that the film’s end-credits song is a remix of Yaar Bina Chain Kaha Re (from Saaheb, a film made 35 years ago), with the gender divides collapsed for good measure.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan couches its misgivings about how its target audience will respond to the ticklish theme and deal with the questions that it raises in a bright, breezy and occasionally surreal social comedy that takes swipes at Bollywood’s established notions of heroism (the screen persona of Amitabh Bachchan is frequently invoked) and heterosexual love (Laila-Majnu, Shirin-Farhad and Romeo-Juliet are alluded to).

But the radicalism of Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan has its limits. A smooch or two between the two men in love is all that the film is willing to risk. The homosexual lovers are understandably never shown in bed although they do discuss touch and sleeping together. To drive home the point that love, no matter of what kind it is, is science, Aman rattles off the names of a bunch of chemicals and hormones that excite physical passion – dopamine, cortasil, oxytocin. His parents, Shankar and Sunaina (Neena Gupta, outstanding), do not however budge from their belief that gay love is unnatural.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan Movie Review: A still from the film.

Ayushmann Khurrana, although he has been pushing the boundaries since debuting in the role of a sperm donor (Vicky Donor) and has played a man with erectile dysfunction, is all said and done a mainstream Bollywood star and he can go only this far and no further, which is absolutely fine given the dignified and matter-of-fact manner in which the film treats the relationship between two men.

The only time we see the hero bare-bodied is when he arrives in the midst of the Tripathis a second time around. With a clear plan in mind, he has the gay pride rainbow flag on his back. The timing is significant. The family is in the process of performing Aman’s last rites and of rechristening him in the hope that he will turn a new leaf and marry the girl of his mother’s choice, Kusum (Pankhuri Awasthy). A livid Shankar storms into the house, emerges with a lathi and rains blows on Kartik as Aman watches the assault helplessly.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6r8UYU7Zcs

The comic flights of fancy do not always take off in the right direction or land smoothly, but with the actors going all out to make the film work, some parts of Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan are genuinely funny and quirky. The film may be erratic in parts, but its entertainment quotient is delightfully high for a film tackling a clash between conservatism and freedom, between tradition and modernity.

Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan is anything but perfect but is easy to watch – and like.

It starts because of Goggle. Aman will swear to this till his dying breath; it’s entirely Goggle’s fault. Yes, she goes by Rajni now. No, he will not call her that, because Goggle was a nickname he came up with, out of love and affection way before everyone made into a Thing. So he’s allowed, Goggle said so. Anyway, it starts with Goggle adding Kartik to their family Whatsapp group. And really, if Kartik ever breaks up with him Aman will know this is why.
