1 INT. WAITING AREA - HAIR SALON
3 PERSONS ARE SITTING IN THE CHAIR INCLUDING RAHUL. RAHUL IS
WAITING FOR HIS TURN AND HE IS SECOND IN THE LINE. THE
SALON IS MIDDLE CLASS. THE ONE GUY WHO IS AHEAD OF HIM HAS A
FUNKY HAIRLOOK WITH A DESI ACCENT. THE ONE WHO IS WAITING
AFTER RAHUL LOOKS TOO RICH AND RAHUL THINKS HE DOESN’T NEEDS
A HAIRCUT. THE SALON IS FILLED AS TODAY IS SUNDAY.
Rahul is a college student who wants to impress his crush
and friends. He goes to a rich Salon where he won’t go
regularly. He is still listening to that guy who is talking
with desi delhi accent with his friend on phone and thinks
of how he doesn’t wants to look like him. He is proud of his
beard.
RAHUL’S HEAD
Yaar yeh toh bahot desi lag raha
hai, issee to Shanu impress nahi
hongi sayad. Yeh wali cancel, ruk
brochures check karne de.
(Rahul asks for the brochures
and the guy looks at him like
he has asked for free haircut.
He tells rahul to wait for a
while.)
Rahul is looking at the guy who is after him. He does look
rich and he doesn’t need a haircut. Rahul takes the
brochure.
RAHUL’S HEAD
Shanu impress to honi chahiye, par
yaar yeh college me phir bachaa,
bachaa karke sab chalu ho jayenge.
Clean Shave to nahi hi karaunga is
baar. Kuch bhi ho!!Kya karu
ab....Shanu se toh puch nahi sakta
awkward ho jayenga..

Desi guy turn came and he tells elaborately about what he

wants. Rahul is looking at brochures and is still thinking.
One other kid comes in between and starts giving suggestions
to rahul about his hair style.
KID
Are bhaiya yeh Tony Stark wala, he
is so good. Apne avengers-End Game
ka trailer dekha kya? Kya trailer
hai bhaiya dekho!

(CONTINUED)
 CONTINUED: 2.

RAHUL
Ha bahot achaa hai. Main sochta
hoon.
(Rahul is still thinking about
that and now the hair dresser
has taken a PUBG break.)
Rahul decides to ignore.

KID
Phir mereko bhi dena, select karne
k liye.
RAHUL’S HEAD
Ruk ek kaam karta hoon, sayad yeh
bachaan sahi bol raha hai, kuch
naya try karke dekhta hoon. Aur us
bahaane beard bhi set karwa deta
hoon.
2 INT. HAIR SALON

Rahul is confident about what he wants for his haircut.

HAIR STYLIST

RAHUL’S HEAD
Ha AC bhi kaam karo thoda, bich
bich me toilet lag jaati hai.
HAIR STYLIST

RAHUL

RAHUL’S HEAD

(He dreams of tomorrow and
everyone in the college is
looking at him.)
At the time of shampoo.

(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 3.

RAHUL’S HEAD
Wah itne achee se toh main bhi
khudko shampoo nahi karta, kya maja
aa rahi hai. Oh ho ho bhaiya aur
thodi der. Wah kya massage hai.
Yaar aj toh tip karke hi jaunga, ek
mahine se aise shampoo wali feeling
nahi ayi hai.
At the time of haircut. The Hair Stylist guy seems gay to
rahul, rahul thinks about the way he is talking and looking
at his hair from the mirror.
RAHUL’S HEAD
Yaar wo spray nahi karna, bol saare
baal chipak jayenge, yaar phir sab
dekhenge.... bas ho gaye.. ab
nahi..
(At the start of the hair cut,
the barber makes his hair
looks like a small baby, he is
embarassed.)

In the middle of haircut.

RAHUL’S HEAD
Yeh toh bahot short kar diye,
sayad. Aur wo mujhe aise kaise dekh
raha hai, sayad ye gay hi lag raha
hai, jaldi....
(The Hair Stylist guy looks at
him with fierce passion. Rahul
decides to clarify.)

RAHUL
Bhaiya suno girlfriend khush honi
chahiye delkh kar....
HAIR STYLIST
Ha main hoon na, ladki kya ladke
bhi apko dekhte reh jayenge.
RAHUL’S HEAD
Yeh gay wala hi mamla hai, pakka.
Section 377 k baad pata hi nahi
chalta..

The Hair Stylist guy slowly cuts his hair and is singing.
Nobody speaks for a while.
HAIR STYLIST
Shaving kar du kya?

(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 4.

RAHUL’S HEAD
kya karun? ab kuch toh bolna hi
padenga?
(Rahul thinks for a while and
Hair Stylist guy starts
speaking again.)
HAIR STYLIST
Sir wo Oval wali aur chin strap
bahot achii hai?

RAHUL’S HEAD
Ab isse kaise puchu iska matlab kya
hota? Yeh bhari chize kya hoti hai?
Agar pucha toh izzat k vaat lag jay
gi..... yaar zakir khan sach kehta
hai male ego bich me hi aa jaata
hain..
RAHUL
Chin Strap hi kar do..
(Rahul has no idea about what
this is, he fears to ask..)

RAHUL’S HEAD
Naam toh sexy lag raha hai... Are
thoda aaram se kat jayenga...wo..
After 10 minutes.. Rahul beard is so light, it feels like he
has not shaven cleanly. Rahul is in a dilemma, now. He
thinks he is looking so good.
HAIR STYLIST
Kya lag raahe ho bhiaya! Bahot
achaaa.
(Rahul smiles as he is hero)
RAHUL’S HEAD
Kal college me maaza ayenga...

HAIR STYLIST
Bhaiya, D-tan ya facial bhi
kardu...Skin bahot soft ho jayengi,
ek alag ehsaas hai wo toh apko skin
me regularly karwana chahiye..Bahot

HAIR STYLIST GUY’S HEAD

Ha bolo... subah se koi bhi badi
machli fasi nahi hai..

(CONTINUED)
CONTINUED: 5.

RAHUL’S HEAD
Karwa hi leta hoon, aise bhi thoda
kala hi dikh raha hoon.
RAHUL
Ha kardo par achaa karna, D-tan hi
kar do..
RAHUL’S HEAD
Phirse skin ko touch karega phir
awkward ho jayenga..

HAIR STYLIST GUY’S HEAD

Chalo aj ka pehla..
The Hair Stylist guy takes the D-tan cream and starts making
layer over his face. Rahul can feel his hand’s sensation and
it has become awkward for him. Rahul is regretting his
decision.
RAHUL’S HEAD
Iske haath aise kaise itne smooth
hai, yeh pakka gay hi haii, warna
koi aise kyun karenga... itna dhire
dhire...shanu k liye itna toh
sacrifice kar hi deta hoon.
After D-Tan..

RAHUL’S HEAD
Face to kya glow kar raha hai..kal
toh pakka college mein mera hi swag
hoga.

HAIR STYLIST
Your bill.
RAHUL
Aadhi pocket money se jyada ka toh
bill hai yaar. Baal kaatne ka kon
itna tax lagata hai. Ab dene toh
padenge.
(Here what happens is Rahul is
giving money to the cash
counter. Rahul has clenched
the money tightly while the
cashier wants to take all the
money from the wallet.)

3 INT. COLLEGE HOSTEL - NIGHT

Rahul’s friends are teasing him for his beard and haircut.
ONE FRIEND
Clean shave k paise nahi the kya,
yeh aadha adhura kya karwa k aye.
SECOND FRIEND
Hair style toh dekh iski, woh
rajpal yadav jaise lag rahi hai.

THIRD FRIEND
Iski shakkal dekh chikna lag raha
hai....
Rahul still thinks shanu will like the haircut. He goes and
check rajpal yadav and it looks the same on internet.
CUT TO:
4 EXT. COLLEGE CANTEEN - MORNING

Rahul and Shanu have just met and are sitting together.
RAHUL’S HEAD
Notice toh kar liya hai par
reaction nahi diya koi.. abhi takk,
kya karun samne se puch lu.

SHANU
Your hair cut seems a little odd.
It reminds me of something, like
some character. And for beard you
should have kept the dark one, it’s
too light and unfinished. It looks
funny, your face is glowing too.
RAHUL
Hair style toh tony stark wali
hai(He tries to cover, he doesn’t
want her to remember about Rajpal
Yadav), They gave me two option for
beard; oval ya chin..
RAHUL’S HEAD
Wo hasi to sahi, matlab kuch to
baat hai. Bhai set hai apna.
SHANU
You should have tried that oval
one, that will look good at you.

CONTINUED: 7.

RAHUL’S HEAD
Ha wo dusri wali hi karwani chahiye
thi, agli baar wo karaunga shanu
impress ho jayengii...

Rahul laughs and change the conversation.
