INT. DESHMUKH HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY

A spacious, high-end kitchen bathes in natural light. A lively PARTY VIBE pulses through the air. Upbeat music thumps
in the background. ANIL (Mid 20s, carefree, stylish) tosses ingredients into a sizzling pan,

stylish shot of Anil cooking.

Surrounded by 2-3 FRIENDS, laughing and vibing.

FRIEND 1
Bhai, yeh kya bana raha hai tu? Looks deadly!

ANIL
bro. Trust the magic, tere hosh udd jayenge kha kar.

Laughter erupts.

FRIEND 2 sneaks a spoon into the pan, tasting the dish with a dramatic flair.

FRIEND 2
Bro, tere cooking skills ke after-effects kal mere pet mein bombarding toh
nahi karenge na?

friend laughs.

The CAMERA PANS across a disaster zone: flour dusted on the counter, sauce splattered on the wall, open spice jars, and
dirty utensils teetering in a pile.

friend 1

Look at your kitchen.

ANIL
(grinning)

Chaos is part of the creative process.

DISSOLVE TO:

INT. DESHMUKH HOUSE - KITCHEN - MOMENTS LATER

Anil and his friends sit around the counter, devouring his dish with gusto. The DOMESTIC HELP (KAKA, 50s, weary)
peeks from the doorway, visibly horrified by the mess.

FRIEND 2
Cooking school khol le bhai.

They HIGH-FIVE Anil with exaggerated enthusiasm.

ANIL
Kaka, papa ke aane ke pehle,saaf safai ka dekh lena.

KAKA sighs heavily and shuffles off. Just then,

DATTA DESHMUKH (late 50s, powerful, composed) enters. The room falls silent. His piercing eyes scan the chaos—half-
eaten food, an overflowing sink, Anil lounging carelessly. A dirty spoon sticks to Datta’s shoe as he steps forward.

Datta’s expression tightens with disappointment. He bends down, picks up the spoon, and holds it up like evidence.

DATTA
(controlled anger)

Dekho isko.

(gestures with the spoon)

Yeh hai tumhara passion?

..Time waste karna koi sport

hota toh, I’m sure tum har baar gold medal laate.

(adjusts his glasses precisely)

Yeh fukat ke baraati jaise tere friends..jo free ka khana khane ke liye tere aage peeche ghumte hain..Hobby ek pal ki khushi de
sakta hai, par do waqt ki roti nahi. Mera surname nikal do na tere naam ke aage se toh... you are nobody.

Anil stares, speechless, as Datta’s biting words hang in the air. FREEZE

nobody

Datta stands holding a dirty spoon, his piercing gaze locked on Anil. Anil’s FRIENDS shrink into the background, visibly
uncomfortable.

Now, just two men remain in the kitchen —

Anil, frozen, spatula in hand. Messy apron. A heart caught between rebellion and respect. Datta Without waiting, he folds
his sleeves and steps forward

BEAT.
Anil steps back.

Datta walks to the sink. With mechanical precision, he grabs a greasy patila. The scrub begins — furious, rhythmic.

Anil

papa, rehne do na… Kaka kar denge

Datta (not looking up) )

Kaka toh kaam dhang se karte hai tum kab kuch dhang ka kaam karoge.
Another thali goes under water. He scrubs harder.

The silence now is volcanic. Only water sound is coming.

Anil stands rigid, eyes fixed forward, jaw clenched.

DATTA
Tumhari age mein maine

Annapurna ka pehle outlet khol diya tha woh bhi sirf Paanch chamach, paanch plates, aur teen bartanon se.(cleaning
utensils one by one)

(checks his smartwatch)Ab last chance hai tere paas. Humari least performing outlet—jo quarterly

losses de rahi hai—uska turnaround six months mein chahiye mujhe. Do it. Prove yourself. (leans in, voice razor-sharp)
Fail hua toh... no inheritance, no equity..mere will mein tumhara naam bhi nahi hoga.

DATTA

Fail hua toh... no inheritance, no equity..mere will mein tumhara naam bhi nahi hoga. Anil. Six months. Prove yourself. Ya
phir bhool jao ki tum mere bete ho. (shakes his head, with finality)

Mujhe tujhse hope nahi hai. Honestly, kabhi thi bhi nahi.

ANIL lifts his head. His eyes shift from submission to controlled fury, burning with resolve.

Kaka and other servant enters in the kitchen, They are shocked to see Datta washing utensils.

kaka swiftly goes and takes utensils from Datta's hand and closes the tap.

ANIL
(quiet but cutting)

Hope? Hope ek feeling hai jo desire se aati hai, Papa. Jahan interest nahi hota, wahan hope bhi nahi hoti. Aapko life mein
mujhme

kabhi interest raha hi nahi... toh hope kahan se aayegi?(small, sad smile—more understanding than bitter) Not your fault...
you were busy building empire.. Maybe mere upar koi price tag laga hota toh shayad aapka attention mujh par hota... not
complaining... just stating the fact.

anil

(voice gains strength, precise) ..aapko lagta hai cooking sirf meri hobby hai? Nahi.

Remove his apron and holds it in front of his father.

anil
Cooking meri identity hai. Bachpan mein, jab sab so jaate the... main kitchen mein hota tha. Innovate kar raha tha. Aapne
notice nahi kiya... par main us world mein jee raha tha. (steps closer, conviction rising) Aapko lagta hai main chef banna
chahta hoon...so main underachiever hoon? Kamzor hoon? Annapurna ke layak nahi? Fine.

He removes his gold chain , throws in front of his father.

anil

Anil walks out with newfound purpose, his footsteps echoing. Datta stands motionless, The kitchen feels suspended in time,
charged with unresolved tension.-

SCENE 2. INT. KITCHEN CORRIDOR - DAY

A narrow, sunlit corridor hums with life—clinking trays and murmurs drift from the main dining area. A YOUNG
WAITER (20s, nervous) strides forward, balancing a steel tray loaded with cups and a steaming kettle. He halts mid-step,
stunned.

Anil blocks his path, radiating determination. The WAITER glances behind him,

ANIL
(gently)

Brother…tumhara uniform chahiye.

The WAITER’s eyes dart to Datta , who has just entered the corridor. Datta’s face tightens, disbelief flashing in his eyes.

WAITER
(stammering)

Sir… main… main kaise…?

DATTA
(angrily)

Khud chal kar dekh lo, mere bina yehi pehchaan hai tumhari.

ANIL
(to WAITER, reassuring)

Trust me… it’s okay. kuch nahi hoga.

The WAITER hesitates, clutching his tray. Anil extends his hand—not as a boss, not as the owner’s son, but as a man with
nothing to lose.
Slowly, the WAITER sets down the tray. He removes his apron, hat, and half-jacket, still dazed. Anil slips into them with
deliberate care, like a warrior donning armor. The uniform smells of sweat and old spices.

Anil hands the WAITER his expensive shirt,

ANIL
(grinning, facing DATTA head-on)

Challange accepted papa ...Main us dubte hue outlet se profit bana ke dukhaunga .. WIth My way. With my innovations.
With my vision.

datta

Yeh tareeka nahi hai kuch prove karne ka..yeh life hai koi film nahi hai .

anil

Game jeetne ke liye mujhe apne privilege ki jaruraat nahi hai .

Anil meets his father’s gaze—not with arrogance, but with unshakable certainty. He turns and strides out, dressed not in
legacy, but in purpose.

FADE OUT.

EXT. DESHMUKH BUNGALOW PORCH – DAY

The front porch of Datta's home, early morning light. Anil, now dressed in the Annapurna junior chef uniform, stands by
the door. A couple of house staff members—those who've known Anil since childhood—gather around him.

One of the older staff applies a traditional tikka on his forehead, wishing him luck.

Anil touches the feet of the oldest staff member ,whom he affectionately calls "Kaka"

anil

Kaka, jeet ke aaunga. Mere khusaat papa ka khayal rakhna.

This lighthearted farewell underscores both Anil's arrogance and genuine affection for the people who raised him. Anil,
wearing a false air of confidence, heads toward the family car parked at the driveway, ready to embark on this new chapter.

SCENE 2 EXT. PARKING LOT - CONTINUOUS

Anil strides toward the car, tossing his bag into the back. He reaches for the door handle.

A hand lands on his, firm yet delicate. Time slows. The soft chirping of morning birds fades to a hush.

Anil pauses, then turns. Standing before him is SHAMBHAVI (20s, elegant, composed), her eyes sharp as a blade wrapped
in silk, calmly calculating.

ANIL
(taken aback)

Shambhavi...? Tum?!
A charged silence hangs between them. Anil’s confidence wavers—not fully, just enough to hint at the storm brewing
ahead.

FADE OUT.
EPISODE 5 FADE IN: EXT. PARKING LOT - DAY

Continuation from Episode 4. The Deshmukh bungalow looms in the background, its grandeur softened by morning light.

Anil stands by a sleek family car, his bag slung over one shoulder, still rattled from Shambhavi’s sudden appearance.
Shambhavi faces him, her eyes sharp with quiet confidence.

ANIL
(Shocked)

Shambhavi, tum...?

SHAMBHAVI
(firm, hint of superiority)

Golden spoon , shocked ho gaye...

Anil

Yahan kya kar rahi ho?

shambhavi

I have a shocking news for you..Tumhare papa ne mujhe Annapurna ka COO banaya hai..hum dono ek restaurant mein
honge.

Anil’s brows furrow, agitation flashing across his face.

ANIL
(biting, sarcastic)

Post COO ki..kaam watchman wala... Papa ko mujh par bharosa nahi, isliye tumhe mujhe par nazar rakhne bheja hai.

Shambhavi gives him a measured look, her lips curling slightly, savoring his discomfort.

SHAMBHAVI
(cool, pointed)

Unka concern bhi logical hai.Tum par bharosa ho sake aisa koi kaam bhi toh nahi kya.

She points to a rattling AUTO-RICKSHAW passing by, its faded paint catching the sun. An amused smirk plays on her
face.

Anil ignores her and walks towards the car.

SHAMBHAVI
(teasing)

Apne School se refund mang lo Anil...they have done a very bad job with your education..logical thinking or common sense
par kaam hi nahi hua.

Anil stops and turns.

shambhavi

Tum undercover junior chef banke ja rahe hoo..luxury car mein pahunchoge toh tumhara jhoot pakda jayega.

Anil winces, her logic hitting home but resentment simmering beneath his scowl. Shambhavi flags down the auto with a
casual wave.

ANIL
(incredulous)

Seriously? Is mein? Main Deshmukh hoon, auto mein nahi jata.

SHAMBHAVI
(sharp, challenging)

Method acting, Anil. Commitment dikhao. Ya phir abhi se haar maan liye?

ANIL
(snapping back)

bahut maza aaraha hai na tumhe

SHAMBHAVI
(calm, cutting)

I wont deny, Maza toh aaraha hai...aur roz aayega jab ..tum mujhe Ma'am keh ke bulaoge...job ke first day par late nahi
hote. MOVE!

Anil stands frozen, torn between annoyance and the sting of her words. With a grudging huff, he slings his bag tighter and
climbs into the cramped rickshaw, its torn seats creaking under him. His face is a storm of dread and defiance as the auto
sputters to life.FREEZE

EPISODE 6
FADE IN:

6/1 INT. SMALL LODGE ROOM - DAY

A modest room near the Annapurna outlet, sparse and worn. Sunlight filters through dusty curtains, illuminating a
SINGLE BED, OLD CUPBOARD, and a wobbly plastic chair—bare minimum. ANIL (mid-20s, intense, in a junior chef
uniform) enters, dropping his backpack on the creaky bed. A cloud of dust rises.

ANIL
(sarcastic, under breath)

Self-respect ka vibe check bhari pad gaya...khud hi apni life ka epic roast kar diya

maine.

He wipes sweat from his brow, running a hand along the flaky wall paint. Slumping onto the bed, the springs groan in
protest.

ANIL
(softly, to himself)

Teen mahine ka game hai bas. Slay karke out. Phir back to resort life.
Muffled VOICES drift from the hallway. Curious, Anil rises and peeks through the half-open door. Outside, SHAMBHAVI
(20s, elegant, composed) speaks to the LODGE MANAGER, her posture commanding. Anil’s jaw tightens, eyes
narrowing.

CUT TO:

FLASHBACK - INT. DATTA HOUSE - HALL - NIGHT

A lavish, warmly lit hall glows with opulence. ANIL lounges on a plush couch, surrounded by 2-3 FRIENDS joking loudly.
DATTA (late 50s, powerful, composed) and SHAMBHAVI enter, carrying files, their focus intense.

DATTA
(ignoring Anil, to FRIENDS, proud)

Shambhavi se seekho tum log. World-class outlet ka model develop kiya hai. Uski dedication aur work ethic observe karo.

Excellence ke standards set kiye hain usne… Proud of you, Shambhavi!

Anil watches, silent, a sting masked by a smirk flickering across his face.

FRIEND
(whispering)

Chamchi moment alert.

CUT TO:

FLASHBACK - INT. DATTA HOUSE - HALL – EVENING

Shambhavi near the lodge manaher…her eyes fall on anil in his lodge room…lounging on the bed…she gets a flash…

SHAMBHAVI stands near the stairs, clutching a file. ANIL snatches it, folding it into a paper plane with exaggerated flair.

ANIL
(loudly, laughing)

Yeh paper shayad NASA se mangwayi hai? Dekho, udd bhi nahi rahi.

He tosses the paper plane—it smacks SHAMBHAVI in the chest.

ANIL
(mocking)

Oops! Mere papa ki chamchi ko lag gaya kya?

His FRIENDS burst into laughter. Shambhavi freezes, her face flushed with embarrassment.

SHAMBHAVI
(sharp, controlled)

Tumhara problem kya hai? Mujhse problem hai… meri ability se problem hai… ya tumhre lack of talent se problem hai ?

ANIL
(biting back)
Bas ek hi problem hai. Tum log khane ke magic ko business banane mein lage ho. Tumhe toh yeh bhi nahi pata
ki adrak ko slice karne aur crush karne mein flavor ka kitna farak padta hai. Nahi pata hoga kyunki... tum aur
tumhare papa ka sirf ek hi talent hai—mere papa ki chamchagiri karna.

He shoves the file back into her hands, smirking.

DATTA
(furious, stepping forward)

Mind your language! Naseeb se pehle talent aata hai… aap naseeb ka kha rahe hain… aur woh talent ka. Accept kar lo. Pack
your

bags… aap India se bahar jayenge. That’s your punishment.

Datta’s hand cracks across Anil’s face—a sharp SLAP echoes. Anil stands stunned, his smirk gone.

CUT TO:

INT. SMALL LODGE ROOM - MOMENTS LATER

Anil sprawls on the creaky bed, scrolling on his phone, the dim light casting shadows. Suddenly—THUD!—a stack of files
lands on his face, papers scattering.

ANIL
(sitting up, irritated)

What the ffff—! Tumhari problem kya hai, haan?

FADE OUT.
EPISODE 7

FADE IN:
INT. SMALL LODGE ROOM - DAY

Continuation from Episode 6. A small, dusty room near the Annapurna outlet, its bare bones exposed: creaky bed, chipped
cupboard, wobbly plastic chair. Sunlight slices through broken blinds, casting jagged shadows. ANIL (mid-20s, intense, in
a junior chef uniform) sits on the bed’s edge, rubbing his forehead where a file hit him, anger simmering. Scattered papers
lie around him from the earlier THUD.

ANIL
(sitting up, irritated)

What the ffff—! Tumhari problem kya hai,haan?

SHAMBHAVI (20s, elegant, composed) stands in the doorway, arms crossed, her gaze stone-cold.

SHAMBHAVI
(sharp, commanding)

Tum, Mr. Golden Spoon, your resort life is over. Welcome to the real world—jahan kaam se izzat milti hai, sirf surname se
nahi.

Grind mode on kar do… yahan swag mehnat ke paseene se aata hai, expensive perfume se nahi.

ANIL
(bitter, sarcastic)
You know, tumhari baatein sunkar mujhe kya feel ho raha hai? As if main koi foreign show ka Hindi dub dekh raha hoon.
Tum bhi tumhara normal mode on kar lo. Baba ki good books mein rehne ke liye yeh sab drama kar

rahi ho na, right?

SHAMBHAVI
(smirking, loaded with sarcasm)

I don’t care tum kya sochte ho. Mera job tumhare ego ko nahi, Annapurna ko sambhalna

hai. Datta sir ne sirf ek business nahi banaya—yahan job karne wale logon ki life banayi hai. Aur tum kya ho? Spoiled brat.

Jise samajh hi nahi aaya usse abroad kyun bheja gaya tha. Jo cooking ka passion leke

ghoomta hai, lekin life mein kabhi kitchen ki asli heat jheli hi nahi.

Anil’s jaw clenches, his eyes flashing with fury.

ANIL
(cutting)

Oh no, tumhara toh revenge mode on ho gaya. Badla le rahi hai mujhse. Abhi tak move on nahi ho payi.

SHAMBHAVI
(leaning in, with attitude)

Aww, still the victim, Mr. Golden Spoon?Sorry to break your bubble—main tumse badla

nahi, tumhari aukaat yaad dila rahi hoon. Tumhare jaison ke liye sympathy nahi hoti— sirf deadlines hoti hain. Just doing
my job.

ANIL
(hitting back)

Tumhare papa Annapurna mein manager the, isliye tujhe yeh job mili hai. Self-made nahi ho tum. You and me, we are on
the same boat.

SHAMBHAVI
(cold, cutting)

No, we are not on the same boat. Main apni capability roz prove karti hoon, aur tumhare paas attitude ke alawa kuch bhi
nahi hai. Main Datta sir ko

phir se fail hota nahi dekh sakti. So files uthao and get started.

Anil chews his teeth, fuming.

SHAMBHAVI
(tersely, professional)

Aur haan, contract ke hisaab se tumhe outlet pe aadhe ghante mein report karna hai. Clock’s ticking.

She tilts her wrist, glancing at an imaginary watch.

SHAMBHAVI
(leaning in slightly)
...ya phir tum wahi karo jisme perfect ho— being a failure.

ANIL
(low, seething)

Shambhavi…

SHAMBHAVI
(curt)

It’s ‘Ma’am’.

She turns and strides out, heels clicking with mic-drop energy, leaving Anil stunned, his face a storm of rage and shock. He
glares at the scattered files and clothes on the bed.

CUT TO:

INT. SMALL LODGE ROOM / CORRIDOR - MOMENTS LATER

The room is a tornado of clothes—bags half-unzipped, suitcase spilling over. He is looking for his chef hat and his name
tag…rummaging through his suitcase…

ANIL
(muttering, breathless)

Shit... shit...name tag kahaan gaya mera!!!

Finally he finds his name tag…stands near a mirror…puts it on…takes a deep breath…and rushes out

FADE OUT.
EPISODE 8

FADE IN:
EXT. ANNAPURNA HOTEL - DAY

A rundown hotel facade looms under a harsh sun. The “Annapurna” signboard, chipped and faded, flutters in a lazy breeze.

ANIL (mid-20s, intense, junior chef uniform) rushes into frame, apron half-tied, chef’s cap clutched in hand. Slightly out of
breath, he adjusts himself on the move, determination battling uncertainty in his eyes.

CUT TO:

INT. HOTEL CORRIDOR - DAY

ANIL steps in, scanning the space, trying to find his bearings.

His eyes catch a small sign: “KITCHEN →” with a faded arrow pointing down the hall. He quickens his pace, footsteps
echoing. The CAMERA PANS over an old service bell,

Anil stops at a door marked “KITCHEN.” He steels himself, takes a deep breath, and pushes it open.

CUT TO:

INT. HOTEL KITCHEN - DAY

The kitchen splits down the middle, a clash of energy and attitude. One side is grim: two JUNIOR CHEFS (20s, weary)
work in silence, chopping and stirring with robotic precision, their eyes darting nervously.
The other side is a hangout zone: ANKITA (late 20s, sous chef, confident) lounges atop a counter, flanked by her TWO
LACKEYS—RASHMIKA and PRIYA (20s, sycophantic). They munch snacks, legs swinging, laughing mid-bite.

ANIL enters, his expression shifting from cautious to mildly horrified. He scans the chaos—no order, no hierarchy, no
respect. Dirty pots pile in a sink, spice jars sit open, and a faint burn smell lingers.

ANIL
(softly, to a JUNIOR CHEF)

Hi... Anil.

The JUNIOR CHEF barely glances up, rushing off, pretending not to hear.

A whiteboard catches Anil’s eye: “TODAY’S SPECIAL: Kokum Sherbet, Masala Bhindi, Kadhai Paneer...”

DING! The customer order bell rings sharply.

ANKITA
(not missing a beat)

Yeh, slow train… pick up! Today’s special mein se Paneer ganjyong in 7 minutes.

The JUNIOR CHEFS spring into frantic motion. Ankita turns back to her snacks, grinning at Rashmika’s giggle.

Anil stands frozen, lost in the battle zone. Nobody directs him. Nobody cares.

ANKITA
(eyeing him, annoyed)

Hey you?

Anil turns, startled.

ANKITA
(mocking)

New recruit, haan? Statue ho kya? Go get me a Kokum drink, make yourself of some use.

Anil faces her fully. Their eyes lock—hers playful, mocking; his nervous, but masking it with a flicker of defiance. Ankita
smirks, like a cat sizing up a new mouse.

FADE OUT.
EPISODE 9

INT. HOTEL KITCHEN - DAY

ANKITA
(mocking)

New recruit, haan? Statue ho kya? Go get me a Kokum drink, make yourself of some use.

Her tone slices through the noise. ANIL (mid-20s, intense, junior chef uniform) flinches, nodding hastily, his chef’s cap
slightly askew.

ANIL
(nervous)
Yes... abhi laya

ANKITA
(mocking)

Koi spark hi nahi hai kisi mein. Sab ke sab ekdam thande. Juice.

Anil scans the kitchen, lost. Shelves blur, stations overwhelm. His eyes dart like a trapped animal’s.

JUNIOR CHEF #1 (20s, weary) passes by, barely pausing.

SUMIT
(half-whispering, pointing)

fridge mein..storage shelf ke pass mein

Anil bolts to the fridge, yanking it open. He grabs a bottle of kokum sherbet, hands trembling slightly. Snatching a tray and
glass, he pours carefully, pink liquid glinting. Behind him, the kitchen rages—pans sizzle, orders bark.

SUMIT (20s, shy, thin, junior chef) mops the floor nearby, slow and silent, fading into the background.

Anil steadies the drink, sets it on the tray, and turns toward Ankita. Her eyes burn a hole through him, impatient.

ANKITA
(stern)

Dulha banke aa raha hai kya? Come fast.

Anil hurries, tray wobbling. He doesn’t see the wet patch Sumit just mopped. His foot hits it—

SLIP! CRASH! SPLASH!

Time slows. The kokum sherbet arcs through the air, a pink-red streak. It
lands—

SPLASH!—on ANKITA. Head to toe. Her hoodie, hair, face, shoes—dripping.

Utter. Dead. Silence.

The kitchen freezes. Pots stop clanging. Even the fans seem to hush. All eyes lock on the scene.

Anil stands frozen, clutching the empty tray, eyes wide. He opens his mouth—

ANIL
(stammering)

I—I’m so sor—

Too late. ANKITA strides toward him, face burning with rage.

THWACK! A hard SLAP cracks across Anil’s face. The sound echoes.

CLOSE ON: Anil’s face, turned by the impact.

FADE OUT.

EPISODE 10
 SCENE 1. INT. HOTEL KITCHEN - DAY

Kokum juice drips from Ankita's clothes and hair. The kitchen remains frozen in silence after the slap.

Ankita, seething with rage, pushes their hands away. Anil stands motionless, his cheek still red from the slap. Sumit steps
forward nervously, his thin frame trembling.

SUMIT
(voice quivering)

Ankita Ma'am... please... meri galti thi...maine balti beech mein rakh di...upar se Floor geela tha..iska fault nahi hai..pehla
din hai iska aaj .

Ankita whips around, eyes blazing.

ANKITA
(venomously)

Shut up!!!...corner mein ja ke khada hoga tujhe toh baad mein dekhungi.

Sumit shrinks back, Ankita turns back to Anil, scanning him from head to toe with disgust. She notices his uniform name
tag.

ANKITA
(yanking off his name tag violently)

Anil, haan? Aaj ke baad yeh naam yaad rakhungi main. Tujhe pata hai kitne log line mein khade hain is naukri ke liye? Ek
second mein fire karwa dungi

She steps closer, her voice dropping to a dangerous whisper.

ANKITA
(with cold precision)

Ghutne tek ke maafi maang. Abhi. Sabke saamne. Varna job par tera pehla aur aakhri din hoga.

ANIL
(trying to sound reasonable)

Slip ho gaya tha main, intentionally nahi kiya...accident tha.

ANKITA
(cutting him off, screams)

Maine kaha... ghutne tek...aur maafi mang.!

The kitchen door swings open. RAJIV (35 s, manager, formal demeanor) enters, taking in the scene with raised eyebrows.

RAJIV
(authoritative)

kya Kya ho raha hai yahan?..

ANKITA
(immediately playing victim)
Sir! Dekhiye!Is naye ladke ne mujh par poora kokum sherbet gira diya! Deliberately! Mera uniform kharab kar diya, baal
kharab kar diye, aur attitude dekho—maafi bhi nahi maang raha hai dhang se!

RAJIV
(looking sternly at Anil)

Tum naye ho? First day pe hi drama? Sorry bolo aur kaam par lago

ANKITA
(manipulative)

Sir, aise nahi. Proper maafi mangni padegi. Ghutne tek ke. Staff ke saamne respect dikhani padegi.

She turns to Anil, triumphant gleam in her eyes.

ANKITA
(with false sweetness)

Maafi mang lo, varna Rajiv sir, poora management yahi dekhte hain... jhat se naukari chali jayegi.

Anil's jaw tightens. His fists clench and unclench at his sides. For a moment, the old Anil—the arrogant, privileged
Deshmukh heir—flashes in his eyes. Then he remembers his mission, his promise to his father, his own words about proving
himself.

RAJIV
(checking watch impatiently)

Jaldi karo. We don't have the whole day.

Every eye in the kitchen is fixed on Anil. Sumit looks away, unable to watch. The junior chefs exchange uncomfortable
glances.

Slowly, reluctantly, Anil lowers his eyes. His body tenses as he begins to bend his knees—

SHAMBHAVI
(voice cutting through the kitchen)

What the hell is going on?

All heads turn to the doorway where Shambhavi stands, arms crossed, eyes taking in the scene with cold calculation.

FREEZE.
EPISODE 11

SCENE 1. INT. HOTEL KITCHEN - DAY

The kitchen remains frozen in tension. ANIL stands with eyes downcast, on the verge of kneeling. ANKITA's
posture radiates triumph despite her kokum-stained clothes. Just as Anil begins to bend his knees—

SHAMBHAVI
(voice cutting through the silence)

what the hell is going on ?

All heads turn. SHAMBHAVI strides in confidently, her heels clicking against the floor. Her eyes scan the scene
with cold calculation.
Ankita straightens slightly, uncertainty flickering across her face.

SHAMBHAVI
(surveying the scene methodically)

yahan aisa drama roz hota hai ...ya aaj koi special day hai ?

She gestures at the scene - Anil's ripped name tag, Ankita dripping with kokum juice, the tense staff watching.

ANKITA
(suspicious, still maintaining authority)

Excuse me, who the hell are you ? Aur mere kitchen mein kya kar rahi ho?

SHAMBHAVI
(with cool authority)

Shambhavi. New COO, Annapurna Foods. Aur aap...?

Ankita's expression shifts quickly, trying to adjust to this new dynamic.

ANKITA
(recovering, putting on professional charm)

Ohh ..hume kisi ne inform nahi kiya tha..! Welcome, ma'am.I am ankita.

She extends her hand but then pulls back, indicating her stained clothes.

ANKITA
(turning accusatory, pointing at Anil) Ma'a, yeh new recruit hai.
First day, aur dekho kya kiya isne… Irresponsible, tacky, Ma'am,
isko abhi ke abhi nikal do. My hotel has some reputation... I
can't keep such losers in my kitchen.

Shambhavi's eyes narrow slightly at the phrase "my hotel."

SHAMBHAVI
(firm, with razor-sharp clarity)

Yeh outlet kiska hai?

ANKITA

Datta Deshmukh

SHAMBHAVI

Toh next time se unke behalf par tum decide mat karana , ki yahan kaun rahega aur kaun nahi...name tag do.

The kitchen grows even quieter. Ankita, momentarily stunned by the direct confrontation, slowly places the
name tag in Shambhavi's outstretched palm.

SHAMBHAVI
(turning to address everyone)

Rajiv ji , costumer wait kar rahe hai... I need order restored—immediately.

RAJIV nods quickly, suddenly eager to demonstrate efficiency.

RAJIV
(clapping hands)

Chalo, chalo, sab log kaam pe lag jao! Ankita, tum change kar lo uniform.

As the staff disperses, Shambhavi turns to Anil. Her face betrays no familiarity, only professional detachment.

SHAMBHAVI
(coldly professional)

You—come to my office. Now.

Anil gives a slight nod, his expression carefully neutral despite the relief in his eyes. He follows Shambhavi
toward the door.

ANKITA
(to her friends, sotto voce)

SCENE 2. INT. SHAMBHAVI'S OFFICE CABIN - DAY

SHAMBHAVI places ANIL's name tag on the desk. An awkward silence fills the room.

SHAMBHAVI
(uncomfortable)

Humein tumhari identity reveal kar deni chahiye? Staff ka behavior instant change ho jayega.

ANIL
(determined)

Not now. Undercover aana blessing hai...

Anil picks up his name tag, pins it back on his uniform.

ANIL(with resolve)

Meri identity tab bataunga jab ..is jagah ko insaano ke layak bana du..bahut sare log hai yahan jinko expose
karne mein mujhe bada maza aayega.

SHAMBHAVI

EPISODE 12
SCENE 1. INT. HOTEL KITCHEN - DAY
ANIL enters the kitchen, eyes downcast but shoulders squared in an attempt to appear composed. The kitchen staff glance at
him with curious looks, some whispering. He spots SUMIT at a prep station, methodically chopping vegetables.

SUMIT
I'm so sorry... meri wajah se itni problem hui. ...

ANIL
(casual, waving it off)

Chill, Sumit..tumne jaan bujke thodi kiya tha.

Sumit looks relieved but still concerned.

SUMIT
(lowering his voice)

COO ne kya bola? Naukri...?

ANIL
(with a small smile)

tere saamne khada hoo..matlab job safe hai.

SUMIT
(urgent, glancing around)

Sablog dekh rahe hai..chopping shuru karo..warna naukri unsafe ho jayegi.

Anil picks up a knife, subtly examining it. His grip is awkward, betraying his inexperience with this basic task.

ANIL
(trying to sound confident)

Kya cut karna hai?

SUMIT
(pointing)

Capsicum, Julienne cut.

Anil begins slicing, his movements hesitant. The cuts come out wildly inconsistent - some pieces fat and chunky, others
paper-thin. Sweat beads on his forehead as he tries to speed up.

ANKITA approaches with RASHMIKA and PRIYA flanking her. Her uniform is changed, but her smug expression
remains.

ANKITA
(loudly, for everyone to hear)

Oh! new COO ne tumhe second chance de diya. But tumhare cutting skills dekh kar lagta hai, zyada der tikoge nahi yahan.

She picks up one of Anil's mangled capsicum pieces, dangling it between her fingers.

ANKITA
(mockingly)

Kya tumhe lagta hai ki humare guests aisi vegetables kha payenge? School ke bacche bhi isse behtar cut kar sakte hain.
The kitchen staff pause their work, watching the confrontation unfold.

ANIL
(maintaining composure, with slight defiance)coustmer , scale leke ek ek
piece naap ke thodi na khaane nahi wale..taste matter karta hai.

Ankita opens her mouth to deliver a biting retort when—

COMMANDING VOICE
(booming from behind)

Really? Is that so?

The kitchen falls silent. Everyone, including Ankita and her friends, turns toward the voice. Their expressions shift to
immediate deference or fear. Anil, confused, turns around more slowly.

Sumit frantically straightens his posture. Ankita's smug expression vanishes, replaced by a professional mask.

Anil stands frozen, knife still in hand, unsure how to react to this new presence that has clearly altered the entire kitchen's
atmosphere.

EPISODE 13
SCENE 1. INT. HOTEL KITCHEN - DAY

COMMANDING VOICE
(booming from behind)

Really? Is that so?

The camera pans to reveal RAVIKANT (50s, imposing, meticulous), the Head Chef, stepping forward with authoritative
presence. His chef's whites are pristine, in stark contrast to the general state of the kitchen.

SUMIT
(leaning in, whispering to anil)

Head Chef hai..Ravikant sir..Bahut strict hain.

Ravikant squares up to Anil, folding his arms across his chest in a show of dominance. His eyes scan Anil's uneven
vegetable cuts with cold assessment.

RAVIKANT
Toh tumhe lagta hai magic sirf taste mein hota hai, huh? Presentation,
consistency, technique—yeh sab kuch nahi hai?

Anil holds his gaze, trying not to appear intimidated.

ANIL
(attempting confidence)

Sir,i didnt say presentation important nahi hai, bas—

RAVIKANT
(cutting him off)

Kitchen mein baat nahi, kaam bolta hai. Aaj tum sous chef ho.
He turns abruptly to Ankita, who appears surprised.

RAVIKANT
(with authority)

Ankita aaj tum audience ho, Let's see what our... new recruit can do.

Ankita's initial shock transforms into a wicked smile as she realizes what's happening.

ANKITA
(sweetly venomous)

Yes, Chef. Of course.

She exchanges a knowing look with Ravikant, then steps away from the main work area, positioning herself where she can
watch Anil's impending failure.

RAVIKANT
(addressing the entire kitchen, setting a digital timer)

45 minutes! mein main dish complete hona chahiye. Perfect presentation, perfect taste.

He slams the timer down on the counter with finality.

RAVIKANT
(with deadly precision)

Listen everyone —koi bhi isko help nahi karega. Understood?

The kitchen staff nods nervously. Sumit gives Anil an apologetic look before reluctantly stepping away.

Ravikant turns back to Anil, leaning in slightly.

RAVIKANT
(quietly threatening)

Tumne taste ke baare mein bada claim kiya hai. Let's see if you can back it up.

He steps back, gesturing to the ingredients spread before Anil.

RAVIKANT
(louder, to everyone)

Timer starts... now!

The kitchen springs into action around Anil, but a small circle of emptiness surrounds him—no one dares approach to help.
Anil stares at the ingredients, then at the timer already counting down.

ANKITA
(from the sidelines, just loud enough for Anil to hear)

Ab dikhao apna... phenomenal taste.

Anil takes a deep breath, picks up a knife with slightly more confidence, and begins assessing the ingredients. His
expression shifts from anxiety to determination as he rolls up his sleeves.

Close-up on Anil's face—a mixture of intensity and apprehension as the timer ticks loudly in the background.
Freeze.

EPISODE 14
SCENE 1. INT. HOTEL KITCHEN - DAY

The timer counts down mercilessly. ANIL moves frantically between stations, his chef's coat now stained with various
splatters. His movements show determination but lack the practiced efficiency of a professional chef.

ANIL
(to himself, rushing)

Come on, come on...

He nearly slips when salt spills across the floor. Spices scatter as he fumbles with containers.

Rasmika

(watching, muttering to colleague)

Khatam hai yeh.

Ankita

(nodding, mumbling)

Ravikant sir ko khud ke alawa kisi aur ka haat ka bana khana accha hi nahi lagta.

Ankita has to be given exit somewhere because next scene she is with rajiv…

RAVIKANT stands at a distance, arms folded across his chest, a smirk playing on his lips as he watches Anil struggle.

RAVIKANT
(calling out)

Ten minutes left! Presentation bhi perfect honi chahiye.

Anil's eyes dart to the clock, panic flashing across his face. He juggles multiple pans, trying to time everything perfectly.

ANIL
(under breath, determined)

ho jayega ...ho jayega

The clock zooms into focus: 30 seconds remaining. Anil grabs the plate, hands shaking slightly as he arranges the final
elements.

RAVIKANT
(counting down)

Five... four... three... two... one...

BUZZER SOUNDS loudly. Anil places the final garnish just as time expires. He steps back, disheveled and sweating, but
with a hint of pride in his eyes.

The kitchen staff holds their breath. SUMIT looks on with a mixture of hope and anxiety.

A rich, complex aroma fills the air. Even the junior chefs inhale appreciatively despite themselves.
Ravikant approaches slowly, deliberately, like a judge approaching the condemned. He picks up a spoon, scoops a precise
amount, and tastes it.

A brief flash of surprise crosses his face—the flavor is genuinely impressive. He quickly masks it with his usual stern
expression.

Pujit - If we have exposed what the beggars are eating yesterday while shooting then food has to be the same…agar zyada
nahi dikhaya hai then lets be clear what he will cook…

Just then, his phone RINGS loudly. He checks it.

RAVIKANT
(professional tone)

Haan, Shambhavi ma'am.

Short pause as he listens.

RAVIKANT
(nodding)

I'm coming right away.

He puts down the spoon without comment, wipes his mouth with a napkin, and turns to leave.

ANIL
(tentatively)

Sir?

Ravikant pauses briefly, turns to look at Anil with an unreadable expression, then walks out without a word.

The kitchen remains suspended in silence until the door closes behind him.

SUMIT
(hurrying to Anil's side, whispering)

Kuch bhi nahi bola... bina kuch kahe chale gaye. God knows kya socha unhone dish ke baare mein.

Anil stares at the doorway, then down at his creation—a beautiful dish that took everything he had.

The camera lingers on Anil's face—sweat-streaked, tired, but showing a mixture of relief and apprehension. For the first
time, he's genuinely invested in the outcome of his work.

rajiv

Accha hai , Jitni bheed kum utni humari freedom zyaada .

He reaches for her hand casually.

Their fingers intertwine. Ankita leans closer, a conspiratorial smile on her face.

Suddenly, the door CREAKS open without warning. They hadn't heard a knock.

RAVIKANT stands in the doorway, arms crossed, his expression unreadable. Silence falls like a heavy curtain.

She pulls her hand away from Rajiv's quickly.

Ravikant says nothing, his gaze moving from their hastily separated hands to their guilty faces. The silence stretches
uncomfortably.

Close-up on Ravikant's face - calculating, cold, unreadable. Power has just shifted hands, and they all know it.

compromising position. The tension is palpable.

Long, uncomfortable silence fills the room.

RAVIKANT

He steps into the room, door closing behind him with an ominous click.

NEW COO..Usne abhi hum teeno urgent meeting ke liye bulaya hai.

Ankita's smug expression wavers, a flash of genuine worry crossing her face.

He checks his watch with exaggerated impatience.

RAVIKANT
(with biting sarcasm)

High heels waali madam Humein kitchen chalana sikhayegi ! Next, mujhe cooking sikhane ke liye koi 5-saal ka bachcha bhej

RAVIKANT, RAJIV, and ANKITA enter SHAMBHAVI's office. Despite its small size, the space is immaculately
organized - a stark contrast to the chaotic kitchen. Shambhavi sits behind her desk, reviewing documents with methodical
precision.

The three of them stand awkwardly, still processing their earlier confrontation.

SHAMBHAVI
(looking up, professional but cold)

Aayiye. Baithjiye.

They take seats, Ankita visibly uncomfortable.

SHAMBHAVI
(addressing each with deliberate formality)

Head Chef Ravikant, Operations Head Rajiv, aur... Sous Chef Ankita, right ?

Her gaze lingers on Ankita a moment longer than necessary.

ANKITA
(attempting confidence)

Yes, ma'am.

SHAMBHAVI
(with a pointed smile)

Ankita , Do promotions ek hi saal mein—impressive...kaise ?

ankita

Hard work.

Her tone makes it clear she's not entirely convinced of Ankita's qualifications.

shambhavi

Hardwork ka result ..outlet ke profit sheet par nahi dikh raha hai..Outlet toh wahi ka wahi hai, par tum sabhi graph
upwards hai... (pause) strange,

She arranges some papers on her desk, letting the silence stretch uncomfortably.

SHAMBHAVI
(direct, authoritative)

I’m reporting directly to the Founder—Mr. Datta Deshmukh. Mujhe yahan bheja gaya hai to fix this outlet—My staregy is
to keep it simple..agar koi cheez outlet ke liye work nahi kar rahi ..then replace it (smiles coldly) Aur mujhe lagta hai sabhi
samajh gaye hain?

She looks each of them in the eye.

SHAMBHAVI
(firm, no-nonsense)

Mujhe khushi hai ki hum sab same page par hain.

Ravikant and Rajiv exchange subtle glances, realizing their under-the-table operations might be in jeopardy.

RAJIV
(cautiously)

Of course, ma'am. Hum fully cooperate karenge.

RAVIKANT
(professional but with underlying resistance)

Kitchen ke matters mein, as Head Chef, mujhe thoda freedom chahiye hoga

SHAMBHAVI
(cool smile) full freedom hai..jab tak mujhe profit dikhega..Fair ?

Ravikant nods stiffly.

SHAMBHAVI
(standing, signaling the meeting's end)Good.Every monday, I expect
detailed reports on kitchen inventory, staffing, and customer feedback

They all rise, preparing to leave.

SHAMBHAVI
(casual yet calculated, to Ankita)

Oh, aur Ankita...

Ankita turns, already halfway to the door.

 SHAMBHAVI
(with a final smug smile)

Cooking ke alawa, team leadership par bhi kaam kijiye... it might affect your next promotion. After all, chef sirf taste se nahi,
teamwork se bhi banta hai.

Ankita's face flushes with anger and embarrassment. She manages a tight nod before exiting.

Shambhavi watches them leave, satisfaction glinting in her eyes as she realizes she's successfully unsettled the established
power dynamics.

unnervingly calm.

RAVIKANT

Itna tension kyun le rahe ho?

He pushes himself off the wall, standing tall.

RAVIKANT

Usse Kuch pata nahi chalega. Humne is jagah ko saat saal se chalaya hai. Ab tak koi humein hila nahi paya...certainly not

utensils, spilled ingredients, and food scraps - evidence of his inexperienced but enthusiastic effort.

RAVIKANT enters, eyes sweeping across the kitchen before landing on Anil's messy station. His lips thin with
disapproval.

RAVIKANT

Yeh kya hai? kitchen hai munciplaty ka dustbin.

Anil looks up, suddenly aware of the mess he's created.

RAVIKANT
(pointing at the disorder)

Clean this up—now.

ANIL

Yes, sir.

Anil immediately starts tidying, wiping counters and sweeping spilled salt from the floor. SUMIT glances over
sympathetically but doesn't dare help with Ravikant watching.

ANIL
(between cleaning tasks, cautiously hopeful)Sir, kaisi lagi meri dish ..
Kya yeh aaj serve karne ke liye theek hai?

Ravikant remains silent, offering only a dismissive shrug as he inspects another chef's work.

ANIL
(persisting, respectful but determined) Sir, aapka feedback mere liye
important hai. Main chahta hoon ki flavors perfect ho—

RAVIKANT
(cutting him off, temper flaring)

Jo kaha gaya hai, woh karo. Tumhe babysit karne ka time nahi hai mere paas.

Anil pauses in his cleaning, torn between backing down and pursuing his passion.

ANIL

But sir, main bas—

RAVIKANT

Tasteless hai! Useless hai! garbage hai yeh.

Ravikant grabs the dish with clear intention of dumping it in the sink. Anil reacts instinctively, reaching out to stop him.
Their hands collide over the dish.

The kitchen falls silent. All activity ceases. JUNIOR CHEFS freeze, wide-eyed.

RAVIKANT
(voice dangerously low, seething)

How dare you hold my hand! Tumhari himmat kaise hui?

Anil doesn't back down, his fingers still firmly on the dish, preventing Ravikant from tipping it.

Their eyes lock in a battle of wills - Ravikant's fury meeting Anil's determination. Neither man willing to yield.

The camera zooms in on their hands - locked in tension over the dish. Ravikant's knuckles white with rage, Anil's steady
despite the clear danger of his defiance.

The tension builds as the audience is left wondering if Anil has just sealed his fate at the restaurant.

He snatches the dish fully, turning toward the sink.

RAVIKANT

As Ravikant moves to dump the food, Anil steps forward again.

ANIL

What's going on ?

Ravikant still holds the dish, caught between his intent and Shambhavi's interruption.

RAVIKANT

This is between me and the new recruit. Kitchen ka matter hai. In this kitchen, at least, it's my way or highway.

SHAMBHAVI
(coolly)

I asked what's happening.

ANIL
(stepping forward)

Ma'am, Ravikant sir mere dish ko discard karna chahte hain. Maine suggest kiya ki ise waste na karein.

Shambhavi approaches, takes the dish from Ravikant's hands. He reluctantly lets go. She picks up a spoon, tastes a small
bite, considers it thoughtfully.

SHAMBHAVI
(matter-of-fact)

It tastes fine.

RAVIKANT
(defensive)

Standards maintain karne hote hain! Yeh quality—

SHAMBHAVI
(cutting him off)

Package it. Staff ko de do ya phir needy ko distribute kar do.

She hands the dish to SUMIT, who takes it carefully.

RAVIKANT

Kitchen mein head chef ka decision final hota hai!

SHAMBHAVI

Better it feeds someone than end up in the drain.

She turns to leave, then pauses.

A small group of UNDERPRIVILEGED PEOPLE sit in a circle on the pavement outside the hotel. SUMIT distributes
containers of Anil's packaged food. Their faces light up as they receive the warm packages. ANIL stands nearby, watching
quietly. RAVIKANT observes from a distance, arms folded tightly across his chest.

UNDERPRIVILEGED MAN #1

mazaa aa gaya! Itna accha khana!

He takes a bite and his eyes widen with delight.

UNDERPRIVILEGED MAN #1

Ravikant's jaw tightens visibly. He shifts his weight, uncomfortable with the praise.

UNDERPRIVILEGED WOMAN

She licks her fingers, not wanting to waste a single taste.

UNDERPRIVILEGED MAN #2

Bhai, jisne bhi banaya hai, usko bolna...uske haath mein jaadu hai

Sumit smiles and glances toward Anil, who tries to remain humble but can't hide the small, satisfied smile forming on his
lips.

SUMIT
(proud of his colleague)

Haan, inhi ne banaya hai.

He gestures subtly toward Anil.

UNDERPRIVILEGED WOMAN
(looking at Anil with genuine gratitude)

bahut accha banaya hai. Dil khush ho gaya aaj.

Ravikant watches this exchange, his scowl deepening. He sees the genuine praise Anil is receiving and the quiet respect
forming in the staff's eyes.. Ravikant's expression grows darker with each compliment.

He turns abruptly on his heel and storms off toward the hotel, not bothering to hide his irritation.
The camera lingers on Sumit's satisfied smile as he watches the people enjoy the meal. He exchanges a glance with Anil,
who stands in the background with a mixture of humility and quiet pride on his face.

Anil nods, his expression suggesting this small victory means more to him than any fancy restaurant review ever could.

Shambhavi notices, rises, and picks it up. It's a short note of thanks. She opens the door swiftly, spotting Anil trying to slip
away down the corridor.

SHAMBHAVI

Itne formal kabse ho gaye tum?

Anil pauses, turns back with a sheepish smile.

Thank you kehna chahta tha. Aaj kitchen mein Ravikant sir ko rokne ke liye.

Vibe check fail ho gaya wahan. Kitchen fallen red flag energy de Raha hai

SHAMBHAVI
(irritated now)

Toh yeh tha tumhara determination? Yeh tha passion? Ek do challenge aaye aur tum toot gaye?

Anil remains silent, refusing to engage.

SHAMBHAVI
(frustrated, moving toward door)

Fine. Bister mein pade raho. Main Datta sir ko call karke bata deti hoon ki unka beta surrender kar chuka hai.

She waits for a reaction. None comes.

Anil's face.

presence.

Anil's face.

ANIL

Real problem tum ho,, Never ready to take ownership! escapist no 1.

Anil rises from the bed, water dripping from his hair and face, anger building.

ANIL
(agitated)

Main kisi ko kuch prove nahi karna chahta! This toxic environment isn't worth it—I'm done! for real.

SHAMBHAVI
(challenging)

Toh jao! Bhago! Wahi toh karte ho tum humesha!

ANIL
(grabbing a towel, wiping his face)

Mera janam ..Ravikant jaise toxic insaan ka ego pamper karne ke liye nahi hua ..I don't need this drama!

SHAMBHAVI
(with unexpected determination)

Fine! Jao tum! But I'm staying—with or without you. Uncle ne mujhe tumhe support karne ke liye bheja tha... Maine
promise kiya hai, aur main woh nibhaungi.

She moves toward the door, pausing with her hand on the knob.

SHAMBHAVI
(disappointed)
Tumse expect nahi kiya tha ki tum itni jaldi toot jaoge.

She storms out, slamming the door behind her. Anil stands there fuming, then starts angrily throwing clothes into his bag.

His phone RINGS. He snatches it, answering irritably.

ANIL
(into phone)

Sumit, agar tum yeh kehne ke liye call kar rahe ho ki mujhe wapas aana chahiye, toh bhool jao!

ANIL
(without preamble, direct)

Sumit ke account mein paanch lakh transfer karo. right now.

SHAMBHAVI
(blinking in confusion)

What? Kyun—?

ANIL
(cutting her off, voice firm)

Just do as I say.

Shambhavi studies his face, noting his newfound resolve.

SHAMBHAVI
(slowly nodding)

Alright... main kar dungi.

Anil pivots on his heel, heading for the door.

SHAMBHAVI
(calling after him)

tumne apna mind kyun change kiya?

He pauses at the doorway, turning just enough to see her.

ANIL
(with quiet determination)

Main tab tak nahi jaunga jab tak is jagah ko theek nahi kar leta.

RAVIKANT and ANKITA lounge near the prep area, relaxed and smug. JUNIOR CHEFS work quietly while ANKITA'S

RAVIKANT

The kitchen door swings open. ANIL strides in, head held high. The idle chatter ceases abruptly. Ravikant and Ankita
exchange stunned looks.

Anil walks directly up to them, stopping just a few feet away. The kitchen falls completely silent.

ANIL

Maine apni game change kar di hai..Tum log mujhe tod nahi sakte. ..Victim mode se bahar aagay ahoon main ..bring it on ..
Koi bhi kaam de do—main handle kar lunga. Main ab tumse darta nahi hoon.

RAJIV rushes in, his face tense with urgency. He pulls Ravikant aside to a corner of the kitchen.

RAJIV
(whispering urgently)

Shambhavi ne Sumit ke account mein paanch lakh transfer kar diye .

RAVIKANT
(shock morphing into fury)
Kya?!

He looks back at Anil, pieces suddenly clicking together in his mind.

RAVIKANT
(through gritted teeth)

Sambhavi aur Sumit kya game khel rahe hai?

RAJIV

He straightens his chef's coat with a sharp tug.

RAVIKANT

junior chefs exchanging worried glances.

SHAMBHAVI sits at her desk reviewing documents. The door flies open as RAVIKANT and RAJIV barge in without
knocking.

RAVIKANT
(barely containing rage)

Mujhe aur Rajiv ko inform kiye bina..5 lakh sumit ke account mein trasfer kaise ho gaye?

Shambhavi looks up calmly, setting her pen down with deliberate slowness.

SHAMBHAVI

BEAT, Rajiv and Ravikant look at eachother

rajiv

Nahi

sambhavi

Next time meri cabin mein enter hone ke pehle Knock karoge!

rajiv

(agitated)

Ab aap jawab dijiye.. Funds unauthorized use kyun kiye gaye?

SHAMBHAVI
(leaning back, crossing arms)
As per company policy, har employee ko medical insurance milta hai. Clearly, woh is outlet mein conveniently ignore kiya
gaya hai.

Ravikant and Rajiv exchange uneasy glances. Neither expected her to know this.

RAVIKANT
(defensive)

Hum policy ke according hi chala rahe hain outlet ko.

SHAMBHAVI
(gaze sharpening)

Really? Main find out karungi ki yeh policy kyun implement nahi ki gayi hai.

She lets that threat linger in the air before continuing.

SHAMBHAVI
(with quiet authority)

But for now, Sumit ke pita ji ko immediate medical attention ki zarurat thi, aur as COO, main fund transfer authorized kar
sakti hoon..yeh mera right hai yeh. By the way Accounts department se pichle teen saal ke records mangwa liye hain maine.
Unhe check karne ka bhi mera right hai.

Rajiv visibly pales at this statement.

RAJIV
(muttering under his breath)

This is going to be a problem.

Tension thickens as Ravikant clenches his fists, realizing Shambhavi isn't just a passive overseer—she's actively
dismantling their control.

The camera zooms in on Ravikant's clenched fists and Shambhavi's unwavering expression as they stare each other down—

bringing order to the modest space.

As he works, brief flashes of the morning scene play in his mind - Shambhavi scolding him, the water splashing on his face.
He smiles slightly, shaking his head.

A soft rustle draws his attention to the door. A small card slips through the gap beneath it.

ANIL
(curious)

Kya hai yeh?

He picks up the card and opens it - a simple "Thank You" message inside. Recognition dawns on his face. He quickly moves
to the door and pulls it open.

That's good.

He steps back, gesturing for her to enter.

ANIL

As Shambhavi takes a step forward, the door - already on weak hinges - lets out a long, ominous GROAN. The top hinge
suddenly SNAPS.

Anil's expression shifts to alarm as the heavy wooden door begins to tilt inward, directly toward Shambhavi. Time seems to

ANIL

Watch out!

Anil shakes his head quickly, trying to compose himself.

ANIL
Nothing... kuch nahi.

Shambhavi leans in, resting her chin on her hand, giving him a warm, curious look.

SHAMBHAVI
Toh phir mujhe woh baat batao jo tum bolne waale the.

Anil looks into her eyes, hesitating for a moment. The warm glow from the candlelight reflects off their faces. He
takes a breath, about to confess his feelings, when a bright camera flash blinds him. Anil instinctively turns his
head toward the source, his body tensing.
 SHAMBHAVI
Anil?

ANIL
(forcing a smile, standing up abruptly)
Mujhe suddenly kuch yaad aa gaya... I have to
leave.

SHAMBHAVI
(confused)
What?

Anil quickly places his wallet on the table.

ANIL
Tab’s on me. Hum kal baat karenge.

He rushes off, leaving Shambhavi sitting there, surprised and a little hurt. The camera lingers on Shambhavi’s
expression—puzzled and perplexed. It slowly pans to a close-up of the candle between their two half-consumed
lemonade glasses, flickering as though signaling the unresolved words between them. Freeze

EPISODE 42- SCENE 1- INT. SHAMBHAVI OFFICE CABIN - DAY

Shambhavi stops at the doorway, her eyes narrowing as she takes in the scene. Ravikant sits comfortably in her
executive chair, swinging slightly back and forth with an infuriating smirk. Rajiv is lounging on the office sofa,
sipping a cup of tea, completely at ease. Shambhavi’s face hardens.

SHAMBHAVI
Tum dono meri office mein kya kar rahe ho?

Ravikant leans forward in the chair, resting his elbows on the desk.

RAVIKANT
(mockingly)
I am sure is chari par baith ne ki adat ho chuki hogi ab tak..Lekin
dheere dheere adat nikal dena..kyun ki isse bye bye kehne ka time
bahut jald aane wala hai .

Shambhavi glares at him, not backing down.

SHAMBHAVI
GET OUT..

Ravikant ignores her demand and instead pulls out a tablet, tapping on the screen. A video begins to play—
images from the previous night showing Shambhavi and Anil at dinner, sipping lemonade, laughing, and
leaning toward each other. The footage includes multiple close-ups of their faces and the moment when Anil
appeared to confess something before leaving abruptly.

Rajiv chuckles.

RAJIV
junior chef aur COO ka affair...?

RAJIV
board ke nazar mein yeh
ek bada scandal ban sakta hai.
Shambhavi’s face remains calm, but her knuckles tighten around the coffee cup she’s holding. Before she can
respond, Anil walks in, unaware of what’s happening.

Ravikant grins, looking at Anil.

RAVIKANT
Wow..here comes your boyfriend..or should I say...toy boy.

The camera focuses on Shambhavi’s face, which flickers with a mix of rage and shock. Anil senses the hostility in
the room as Ravikant stands up, ready to deliver more damaging blows.

EPISODE 43- SCENE 1- INT. SHAMBHAVI OFFICE CABIN - DAY

The atmosphere is charged with tension. Shambhavi stands firm, her jaw clenched. Ravikant, leaning back in
Shambhavi’s executive chair, grins smugly. Rajiv lounges on the sofa, a smirk on his face. Anil stands near the
door, his expression unreadable. The SPY, Rajiv’s accomplice, is not yet visible.

RAVIKANT
(smugly)
Wow..here comes your boyfriend..or should I say...toy boy.
Shambhavi—tumhe demote karun ya seedha CEO ko infomr kar
dun ki tumhara ek junior chef ke saath affair chal raha hai.. usse
fancy restaurants le ja rahi ho?..apni position ka abuse kar rahi
ho..

Rajiv chuckles from the side, clearly enjoying the moment.

RAJIV
(grinning)
Board ko yeh story sunne mein bada mazaa aayega.

Shambhavi clenches her jaw, but before she can speak, Anil steps forward, his tone calm but cutting.

ANIL
Kyun, sir? Junior chefs insaan nahi hote? Unhe acchi jagah jaane
ka haq nahi?

Ravikant’s grin falters as he narrows his eyes at Anil.

RAVIKANT
(snarling)
Chup kar,

Anil cuts him off, his voice firm and unwavering.

ANIL
Aaj mood nahi hai...Aaj chup karana ma Mood hai.

Anil walks to the door and pulls someone from behind it—the SPY who had been taking the photos and videos.
The SPY stumbles forward, looking terrified as he faces Ravikant and Rajiv.

Rajiv’s face drains of color.

RAJIV
 (stammering)
Yeh kya—kaise—

Anil smirks, his confidence unshaken.

ANIL
Kya laga tha...mujhe nahi pata chalega?

The camera zooms in on Ravikant’s seething expression as Anil steps closer to him.

ANIL
(taunting)
Tell me... CEO pehle kiski baat sunna pasand karega—aapki ya
meri?

by the door, ready to act.

ANIL

Ravikant clenches his jaw, trying to keep his composure. The SPY, sweating, looks at Rajiv, guilt evident.

The SPY, trembling, steps forward and confesses to Shambhavi.

SPY
Rajiv sir ne mujhe kayi baar use kiya hai.. employees ko false
bribery aur theft ke cases mein phasakar job se nikalne ke liye

Rajiv, visibly shaken, stammers.

RAJIV
Yeh... yeh sab jhooth hai! Iska koi proof—

SHAMBHAVI
(sternly)
Main abhi police ko bula sakti hoon aur tum par snooping,
blackmail, aur harassment ka case laga sakti hoon. Ya phir tum
khud resign kar do.

Rajiv, cornered and defeated, lowers his head.

ANIL
(grinning)
Guards! Sir ko izzat ke saath humare outlet se bahar kar dijiye.

The two GUARDS walk in, grab Rajiv by the arm, and lead him away as he struggles weakly. The SPY quietly
slips out, knowing his role is over.

Shambhavi squares up to Ravikant, her tone icy yet composed.

SHAMBHAVI
Video jitne logon ko bhejna hai bhejo. CEO ko bhi bhej do...kyun
ki normal insaan ke liye do logo ko restaurant mein baithke
baatein karte hue dekhna..shocking nahi hai.

She steps closer, locking eyes with him.

SHAMBHAVI
Meri office ke vibes bahut bigad diye tumne...please get out.

Ravikant’s fists clench as he glares at her, but with no ammunition left, he storms out. The door slams behind
him, leaving Shambhavi and Anil standing tall, victorious yet aware of the battles ahead.
 FADE OUT.

EPISODE 45-SCENE 1- INT. SHAMBHAVI OFFICE CABIN - DAY

Shambhavi and Anil are alone in the office. Shambhavi smiles, leaning back in her chair, a sense of relief in the
air.

SHAMBHAVI
Toh, ab mujhe pata chal gaya kal raat tum kyun bina baat khatam
kiye chale gaye...ab bata do

Anil chuckles, leaning casually against her desk.

ANIL
Aaj nahi ...

They exchange a warm but knowing glance, the weight of unspoken feelings still hanging between them. Anil’s
tone shifts to serious.

ANIL
kaam pe dhyan dena hai.

Shambhavi nods, her expression focused.

SHAMBHAVI
Ravikant ne apne do partner in crime kho diye hai...pagal ho raha
hoga.

She flips through a few documents and gestures to the files on her desk.

SHAMBHAVI
Maine outlet ke zyadatar financial
irregularities aur leaks ko control kar liya hai.

ANIL
(concerned)
Par yeh kaafi nahi hai, na?

SHAMBHAVI
(thoughtfully)
Nahi. Humein nahi pata Ravikant aage kya karega. Woh
unpredictable hai, aur jab aadmi ke paas kuch khone ko nahi hota
, woh aur dangerous ho jata hai.

Anil clenches his jaw, understanding the gravity of the situation.

SHAMBHAVI
(soft but cautionary)
Anil, please sambhal ke rehna.

Anil nods firmly, his eyes meeting hers.

In the reflection of the window, we see both Anil and Shambhavi—partners in both battle and possibly
something more—standing together, determined and ready.

voice dripping with venom.

RAVIKANT
(under his breath)
Saala do kaudi ka admi mujhse aise baat karega?

His fists clench, and he slams them onto the desk, the sound echoing in the quiet cabin. Ravikant pulls out his
phone, dialing a number with trembling hands—not from fear, but pure rage. The phone connects. His
breathing is heavy.

RAVIKANT
(low, threatening)
tujhe mere liye ek kaam karna hoga..aur woh bhi bahut dhayan se

A VOICE on the other end, calm but obedient, responds.

smiles approvingly.

DATTA
Outlet ka Turnaround impressive hai.

SHAMBHAVI
Yes sir. Pichle kuch hafton mein numbers steadily improve hue

She hesitates briefly, then adds with genuine appreciation.

SHAMBHAVI
Anil ka bahut bada contribution hai ismein.

Datta smiles, a hint of pride crossing his face at the mention of his son.

DATTA
Hmm.

Shambhavi hands him a folder containing updated financials.

SHAMBHAVI
Yeh dekhiye - profitability increase hui hai, customer satisfaction
ratings bhi up hain,
Datta glances through the papers, nodding in approval.

DATTA
Very good.

Shambhavi shifts in her seat, her expression becoming more serious. She clears her throat.

through folders and documents. Nothing incriminating. Frustration flickers across his face as he mutters under
his breath.

ANIL
(whispering)
Come on... kuch toh hona chahiye.

His eyes land on a small, hidden compartment near the bottom of the desk. He kneels and inspects it—it’s
locked. Anil tries to pry it open, but it’s securely shut.

He frantically begins searching for the key, pulling open every drawer, overturning pens and objects on the
desk, his movements quick but careful.

The office is dimly lit, shadows dancing on the walls. Ravikant enters, his eyes scanning the room suspiciously.
Everything appears normal. He exhales lightly and steps toward his desk.

Ravikant kneels and unlocks the hidden compartment under the desk, revealing a stack of important files,
papers, and USB drives. He mutters to himself as he works.

RAVIKANT
(under his breath)
Yahan safe hai .
He quickly gathers the documents, double-checking each one before placing them in a leather briefcase. His
movements are deliberate, almost paranoid.

As he shuts the locker and locks it again, he turns around and pauses, sensing something off.

The camera pans to the couch, but Ravikant doesn’t notice Anil hiding just behind it, barely breathing, his body
pressed tightly against the furniture. Ravikant grabs the briefcase, straightens his jacket, and heads out of the
office. The sound of his footsteps fades away.

The camera pans down to Anil cautiously emerging from behind the couch, wiping the sweat from his brow.
His heart races as he whispers to himself.

ANIL
(whispering, frustrated)
Damn! Aaj hi raat usne saara saboot le liya...

Anil’s shoulders slump, disappointment washing over him at losing such critical evidence. As he turns to leave,
his eyes fall on Ravikant’s desk. A notepad rests there with handwritten meeting details: Tomorrow’s Schedule:
Prabhakar – 10:00 AM, Mr. Shetty – 11:00 AM...

Anil’s brows furrow as he picks up the notepad, studying it closely.

ANIL

Shetty looks intrigued, nodding slightly. Ravikant steps out of his office, watching Prabhakar and Shetty pass

checks the time on his wristwatch.

Late afternoon on a quiet street with trees lining the sidewalks. Anil is walking toward a local store to pick up
supplies for the office party. His phone buzzes occasionally, but he seems lost in thought.

Sumit comes jogging up from behind, smiling broadly.

SUMIT
Anil! bhai IPO ne toh Annapurna ka game hi change kar diya hai.
Ab sab kuch track par aagaya !

Anil smiles but is slightly distracted. He pats Sumit on the back.

ANIL
Haan , finally!!!

SUMIT
Shambhavi madam bhi bahut khush hai tujhse.

ANIL
Accha sunn, Party ki taiyaariyan karni hain. List check kar le ek
baar.
Anil's phone buzzes again. He checks it.

A van, sleek and black, pulls up to the sidewalk where Anil and Sumit are walking. The sliding door of the van
opens, and 3-4 burly men wearing masks jump out.

Anil instinctively pulls Sumit back, but they are quickly surrounded.One of the masked men lunges at Anil,
delivering a powerful blow to his midsection.

ANIL
Ugh!

Anil doubles over but quickly recovers. He fights back fiercely, throwing punches and kicks.

Sumit, though smaller in frame, tries to help, shoving one of the attackers and throwing random punches.

SUMIT
Chhod do usko! police ko bulaunga ..chhod usko

MASKED MAN 2

The fight is messy, raw, and intense, with both sides trading blows on the street.

As Anil lands a hard punch on one of the masked men, another attacker comes from behind and strikes him on
the head with a blunt object.

MASKED MAN 3
Le, ab bol!

Anil stumbles forward, falling to his knees, disoriented.

SUMIT

Seeing Anil down, Sumit rushes to his side, trying to lift him up. One of the attackers moves toward Sumit.

Just then, the distant wail of police sirens cuts through the air.

MASKED MAN 2

The masked men panic. They exchange quick glances and retreat to the van.

Tires screech as the van speeds away, disappearing down the road.

Sumit, now frantic, checks Anil's pulse and lifts him to his feet.

Anil groans, clearly hurt but still conscious.

Shambhavi’s expression softens, but she’s still stressed, torn between Anil’s condition and their setback. Anil
senses it and makes a bold call. He takes a deep breath and starts sitting up, grimacing through the pain but
pushing forward.

deshmukh ki jaan ko khatre mein daalne ke liye giraftaar kiya ja

gaye hain, aur paise ka trail seedha aap tak jata hai.
