Title: "Fast Forward to the Future"

Scene: A Reunion After 20 Years (The stage is set like a fancy café. There are five chairs
and a table in the middle. A "20 YEARS LATER" sign hangs in the background.)
Narrator: This is a reunion of the 5 friends Abdulah (Navi), Kushal (Abhi), Fatema (Insiya),
Meeth (Dhanya) and Nuhuman (Munira) who are meeting at a café after 20 years.

Insiya: (In Tamil) Nan deal sign pannuven, if enakkaku nalla protein shake varuvidum.
Priorities! Being a Grand Slam champion is exhausting! Even after 10 years, my vocabulary is
still, vanakaam and saapidalama.

Munira: Aamam Aamam, vanakaam, ennaku oru autograph tharengala?

Dhanya: "Wah bhai wah! Mera boss… matlab professor… matlab dictator!
Uske hisaab se toh main astrophysicist nahi, ek multi-purpose employee
hoon! Kabhi researcher, kabhi data analyst, kabhi telescope technician,
aur kabhi coffee maker!"

Navi: If one more client asks me if they can "technically" evade taxes, I
might just sue myself for emotional distress

Sarrah: "Sir, that was incredible! The opposition came in so confident, thinking they had us
beat. But you flipped the whole case in minutes! What was your strategy?"

Navi: (smirking as he leans back in his chair): "Oh, it was simple. Their argument was like an
expired warranty—completely useless when tested! They tried to build their case on
assumptions, but I poked one hole, and the whole thing fell apart faster than my uncle’s
new year’s resolutions!"

Abhi: Wait, I thought your uncle was dead

Everyone: Where’s our fifth person

Abhi: "Yes, sir, everything is under control! We’re making profits faster than a YouTube ad
you can’t skip!" (pauses, rethinks) "Okay, maybe not that fast… more like a government
office queue—slow, painful, and the only guy actually working just quit to raise goats."
(laughs nervously) "Worst case, we pivot. Worst-worst case? We change the company name
and flee the country.

Sarrah: Sir, table for how many?

Everyone: Table for four

Abhi: (Comes running) Ennaya enne marandhu poitenga.

Everyone: U r late

Abhi: its only 4:45.

Everyone: Its six

Abhi: Laughs nervously

Munira: Guys, gimme a min, I’ll be back

Cut
NEXT SCENE
Munira is about to take a phone call and she faints due to lack of sleep. She starts
shouting as she thinks she is in an ICU about to make a heart surgery. Then, later she
realises that she is in a café and everything is back to normal.

Munira: Dandapaniku heart attacka, varen varen varen

Sarrah: Sir wants pani

(Everyone will come to help)

(They’ll all pick her and go inside)

Sarrah: (cheerful) Welcome to our café! What would you all like to order?

Munira: Ange nadandhadu pathenga dhane, I really need my coffee!

Abhi: First, tell me, what’s the profit margin on your menu items? I
might consider buying this café if the numbers are good.

Sarrah: (confused) Sir, I just serve coffee.

Insiya: (laughs) Are you serving coffee or double faults? Because last
time I was here, the cappuccino was a disaster.

Sarrah: (nervous) I-I assure you; our coffee is world-class!

Navi: (smirks) I know I’m the lawyer, but I’ll be the judge of that.

Dhanya: (Gazing at his cup) You know, if you think about it, a coffee cup is just like a black
hole-dark, mysterious, and constantly pulling in money without giving anything back.

Insiya: Fine, I’ll have a latte.

Abhi: I’ll have an espresso. Need to stay sharp while making terrible financial
decisions.

Navi: Give me black coffee. Like my soul after arguing in court all day.

Dhanya: Just water. The universe is mostly empty space, and so is my stomach.

Munira: Give me a coffee. Hospitals run on caffeine and desperation.

Sarrah: (muttering) And cafés run on suffering…

Navi: So why not start with where we left off?

Insiya: Huhhhhh, I am first like always

FLASHBACK-Fatema (Insiya)

The scene is about how Insiya is studying and writing an exam and finally passing.
Then she goes to coaching from her coach where a lot of humour and comedy takes place.
Insiya plays against an opponent, becoming a champion and there ends her story.

BACK TO REALITY
Insiya: Very chaotic right. I know. But it is perfect for me.

Dhanya: Mine is even worse.

FLASHBACK-Meeth (Dhanya)
He is in a lecture and when it gets over
Dhanya: Vidhya mam’s lectures were much better than this. Inga onnum soli thara matanga
ana they expect to do everything.
He continues to write an exam and passes. He gets an interview and that’s when
Sarrah: Finally, my assistant is here, go get me a coffee
Dhanya: Sir, I have come for an interview to get a job. You misunderstood me.
Sarrah: Someone has an interest, you are hired, go get me a coffee.
AUDIO
(Runs behind the boss and that defines his life)

BACK TO REALITY
Munira: LOL
Munira: I am a doctor, so it is obvious how mine is.

FLASHBACK-Nuhuman (Munira)

Munira: Ma, Appa, I want to become a doctor

Sarrah (Ammi): Nee, oru doctor

Munira: Yen, why are you doubting me?

Sarrah: You fainted when you saw your own blood last week.

Munira: That was last week, I wasn’t prepared

Next scene, while she is studying, Naufal comes to give her milk, and she slaps him or
pushes him away.

Munira: I really needed to hit someone, you came in, I hit you, Idhu en thap illa.
Insiya (Naufal): Walks away.

(Song starts playing)

In college

Munira drops the knife into a body by mistake while conducting a dissection.

Sarrah: I really feel pity for the patients.

BACK TO REALITY

Munira: Once there was something very serious that happened

FLASHBACK

Munira: Patients sonnan, doctor, naan evlo naal dhaan ipdi bed-la paduthutu irrukanum?

Munira: Apa ennaku sollanuma irunthudhu, Bill kattara varikum dhaan… apparum onga
health thaniya seri aayidum

Everyone starts laughing

Abhi: Mine is hilarious…

FLASHBACK

(Abhi is in a college lecture, staring blankly.)

Professor: "A solid business model is crucial!"
Abhi: (muttering) "I can’t even afford solid food over here."

(Cut to Kushal in a hostel room, brainstorming ideas with a friend.)

Sarrah: "An AI that tells students when they’ll go broke?"

Abhi: "Genius!"

(Fast-forward: Pitching to investors.)

Dhanya: "So… your app just tells people they’re broke?"

Abhi: (confidently) "Yes, but with predictive analytics!"

Dhanya: "No."

(Cut to Kushal in a tiny office, taking a call.)

Munira: "Sir, we closed a million-dollar deal!"

Abhi: "Great! Now let’s hope the Wi-Fi bill doesn’t bounce."

BACK TO REALITY

Abhi: From instant noodles to corporate taxes—what a journey!

Insiya: Good for you

Navi: I asked first, and I am telling at the last, its fine.

(Abdullah is staring at a football, worried)

Navi: Coach, I don’t think football is for me.

Coach: Finally! He realised! Everyone, it happened.

Navi: I’m not fit for this life.

Coach: That's what I’ve been telling you all this time! Are you deaf or what?

(Fast Forward: Looking for possible careers)

Navi: Law, eh? Fancy. It's exactly like football, but without all the physicality. You attack,
defend, and try to humiliate your opponent.

(Fast Forward: First Case)

Navi: Your honor, if you look at this video, you can clearly see the defendant attempting to
perform theft.
Judge: I see. The defendant has been proven guilty. Case dismissed.
BACK TO REALITY
Navi: Appo naan Messi aaganum nu nenachen… Aana ippo 'Case-y' aagiten apadieentu
sollikalam. These days I barely go anywhere outside of my home and the court!

Insiya: But those days were the og days. Krishaa, Trianna, I miss all of them.

THE REST: I agree bro, I wish I had a time machine.

ALL OF THEM LOOK BACK AT THE PICTURES OF THE DAYS AT SCHOOL, THE FUN THEIR
JOURNEY AND REALISE HOW THE TIME HAS PASSED BY IN A BLINK OF AN EYE BUT STILL
HOW THEY ARE WITH EACH OTHER AND TALKING.
