E4: The things we do for love

We see a nondescript room that looks like it belongs to a student. And we see a young guy, dressed in a ganji and a pair of tight jeans. This guy is super good looking and has a pretty face. The hot guy keeps posing in different corners of the room, quite seductively as we see camera flashes. With the last pose, he comes closer to the yet unseen photographer and takes off his ganji and pulls the pho- tographer in frame; it is Chris, Mritunjay's roomie in IIM Hostel. They proceed to make out pas- sionately. And we see the action on a viewfinder as if someone is ...

E7: One epic Party

We begin with a new voiceover; a male/female (depending on the star) voice over; it talks about Dussera; an auspicious day for many reasons but primarily for the triumph of good over evil. And while we see the elements of Dussera (B-roll from Mumbai), we hear the VO talk about; but I didnt have any idea about the quantum of evil coming my way and finding the truth will be the biggest challenge of my life. It all started with a party and a guy called Ripu. We see Maggie at his home, waiting for Ripu and he calls DK and tells him there is something about one of his ...
