Jhankaar Beats (2003)

In the bustling world of advertising, Deep and Rishi, two colleagues sharing a mutual obsession for the classic movie "Sholay," find their careers hanging in the balance. Their mission? To conceive a catchy one-liner for Mr. Roy's condoms, a task that proves more challenging than expected. Deep, juggling work and home, lives with his expectant wife, Shanti, and their daughter, Muskaan. Rishi, on the other hand, is navigating through a stormy separation from his wife, Nicki, relying on Shanti's kindness for meals as he braces himself for an uncertain future. As the due date for Shanti's baby draws closer, her mother moves in, adding to Deep's growing frustration. Shanti hopes for a reconciliation between Nicki and Rishi, but Rishi is well aware of Nicki's extramarital affair and is reluctant to mend bridges. Amidst these personal upheavals, Deep and Rishi's shared passion for Bollywood music legend, Rahul Dev Burman, and the 'Jhankaar Beats' competition they have striven and failed to win, remains a constant. With the ticking clock to deliver Mr. Roy's punchline and an enticing job offer from America threatening to pull Rishi away, the duo's dream of claiming victory in the 'Jhankaar Beats' contest hangs in the air. Will they manage to balance their personal dilemmas and professional ambitions, or will the rhythm of their dreams fade away into silence?
