Super-Objective (What They Want):
To control the rehearsal so he does not have to confront the deeper truth behind the song.

If I can keep this about performance, I won’t have to admit what I did, what I lost, or what I still feel.

Farhan
Super-Objective (What They Want):
To push Kabir toward honesty while protecting the friendship from collapsing completely.
Hidden Subtext (What They Hide):
I’m joking because it’s safer than saying how much this hurt me and how helpless I felt.
A
Ananya
Super-Objective (What They Want):
To force the two men to stop hiding behind rehearsal and finally speak the truth.

KABIR
Theek hai... bas ek baar aur.
Is baar seedha.
FARHAN
Haan, bhai. Seedha.
Jaise tera life plan.
ANANYA
Main sirf sunne aayi hoon.
FARHAN
Breakup song hai ya apology letter?
FARHAN
Matlab tu har line mein kisi aur ko blame kar raha hai,
aur har line ke baad khud ko bachaa raha hai.
ANANYA
Aur tum dono ka favourite kaam hai...
“practice” bolke sach se bhaagna.
ANANYA
Yeh song tumne nahi likha, Kabir.
ANANYA
Maine likha tha.
Teen saal pehle.
ANANYA
Practice karo.
Iss baar gaana nahi...
baat karna.
