In a grand mansion somewhere in Australia, a young woman of about twenty years old is seen tuning her guitar, ready to sing. The room that surrounds her is adorned with an array of pictures featuring a young girl and a smaller child, and as she takes a moment to reflect, tears gather in her eyes, recalling the bittersweet memories of her childhood.

As she begins to sing, her gaze fixates on a particular image - that of a young girl clasping her mother's hands, both enveloped in laughter. The lyrics resonate through the air, creating an emotional ambiance that echoes with poignant sentiment.

Listen to the song to get the feel.

Ungli pakad ke fir se sikha de

Godi uthaale na maanAanchal se mera moohn ponch denaMaila sa laage jahan.
A aa e ee oo oo ri ae ae..
O oo ann ahaa

Aankhein dikhaye mujhe jab zindagi
Yaad mujhe aati hai tere gusse ki
Daata bhi toh tune mujhe, phoolon ki tarah
Kyun nahi maa saari duniya teri tarah

Maatha garam hai, subah se mera
Rakh de hatheli na Maa
Tune kuch khaaya?
Der se kyun aayi?
Koi na poochhe yahaan

A aa e ee oo oo ri ae ae..
O oo ann ahaa

Heera kaha, kabhi nagina kaha
Mujhe kyun aise paala tha Maa
Teri nazar se mujhe dekhe na jahaan
Duniya ko toh daantegi na, daantegi na Maa

Teri nazar se mujhe dekhe na jahaan
Duniya ko toh daantegi na, daantegi na Maa

Mujhko shiqayat karni hai sabki
Mujhko sataate hain Maa
Ab tu chhupa le
Paas bula le, mann hai akela yahaan

She ended the song and sat down, crying, remembering her mother.

Some time later, she gets up, wipes her tears, and vows to fulfill her mother's dream of becoming a singer whose voice touches the hearts of many. Music is the only thing that brings her peace and keeps her sane. She has a storm inside her, trying to pull her down. No one guides her when she goes astray, and no one cares for her when she falls sick. Perhaps she is charting her own path, learning by breaking herself at every step of life. She needed to be hurt to learn. It was her last day in Australia, the country that witnessed her growth, and she had been called back to India. Due to the way she shaped her identity, she refused to stay with her namesake family who only remembered her after so many years. Life always had a new storm waiting for her, urging her to face it with more strength each time. Tired of it all, she wanted to explore freedom, experience love and care. She wanted to feel loved, but her insecurities always hindered her progress. So, abandoning all the negativity, she decided to move back to prove her worth in a not-so-familiar yet new country: India.

On the other hand, there was a band of five people, laughing and chilling. They had been through thick and thin together. They were more than a band; they were family. They were loved, cared for, and had everything they needed.

Girl1: Hi guys. Come on, get up; we need to go to the orphanage for our performance. 

Boy1: Yes, those cutiepies must be waiting for us. 

Boy2: Yeah, and those delicious treats too, which we get after the show. 

Girl2: God, Cabir! You and your love for food! I don't know how anyone can handle you. 

Cabir: Oh, Alia, just like how you love makeup, I love my food, and you know FOOD IS LIFE. Right, Manik?

 Manik: Yeah, right. Now please, let us continue, and thank you, Mukti, for making these duffers realize that we have a performance...

So, they were Fab5, the most popular youth band in India. All these rich kids had everything: money, fame, and lovely families, but the most precious thing was their golden hearts. They teased people, but it was harmless. They always made it a point to visit THE HOME, an orphanage under MALHOTRA GROUPS, and spend some time with them. Fab5 reached the orphanage, surrounded by all the kids eagerly waiting for their heroes to come and perform for them. It was like a ritual for them to gather around and get lost in the beautiful world of music. This side of Fab5 was hidden from the harsh world.

Ashi (a girl from the orphanage): Manu bhaiya, please sing for us that song where Mukti di acts like a tree, Cabu bhai opens a tap, and Alu di and Dhruv bhai make us dance. Manik: Sure, my princess; we will sing that song today. Right, guys? Fab5: Absolutely.

Manik starts singing, and all the children giggle and dance along with Fab5, making their Sunday incredibly special and living their lives with joy.

Dekho Dekho Kya Woh Ped Hai

 Chaadar Odhe Ya Khada Koi 

Mukti comes out of the chadar and continues singing

Baarish Hai Ya Aasmaan Ne

 Chhod Diye Hai Nal Khule Kahin

Cabir acts as if the taps have been opened and starts singing

Ho Hum Dekhe Yeh Jahaan Waise Hi Jaise Nazar Apani
Khulke Socho Aao, Pankh Jara Failaao

Alia dances as if spreading her wings and sings 

dhruv continues singing 

Bum Bum Bum, Bum Bum Bum Bole
Hey Bumchik Bole, Are Masti Mein Dole

fab5 sing together

Bum Bum Bole, Masti Mein Dole
Bum Bum Bole, Masti Mein Tu Dol Re  

Manik starts singing again

Bhala Machhliyaan Bhi Kyun Udati Nahin, Aise Bhi Socho Na

Socho Suraj Roj Nahaaye Ya, Baal Bhigoke Yeh Budhdhu Banaaye Hame
Saare Taare Tim Timaaye, Ya Phir Gusse Mein Kuchh Badbadaate Rahein
Khulke Socho Aao, Pankh Jara Failaao
Rang Naye Bikhraao, Chalo Chalo Chalo Chalo Naye Khaab Bunle
Ye Ye Ye Ye Ye.....
Bum Bum Bole, Masti Mein Dole
Bum Bum Bole, Masti Mein Tu Dol ReO Rat Ratke Kyun Tanker Full, Tanker Full, Tanker Full
Aankhein Band Toh Dabaa Gul, Dabaa Gul, Dabaa Gul
O Band Darwaaje Khole Re, Khole Re, Khole Re, Khole Re
O Ja Bindaas Bol Re, Bol, Bol, Bol, Bol Re
Main Bhi Hoon, Tu Bhi Hai
Main Bhi, Tu Bhi, Hum Sab Milke
Bumchik Bum - Bum Bum Bum Bum.....
Bum Bum Bole, Masti Mein Dole
Bum Bum Bole, Masti Mein Tu Dol Re
Aisi Rangobhari Apani Duniya Hai Kyun, Socho Toh Socho Na
Pyaar Se Chunake Inn Rango Ko Kisine Sajaaya Yeh Sansaar Hai
Jo Itani Sundar Hai Apani Duniya, Uparwaala Kya Koi Kalaakaar Hai
Khulke Socho Aao, Pankh Jara Failaao
Rang Naye Bikhraao, Chalo Chalo Chalo Chalo Naye Khaab Bunle
Bum Bum Bole, Masti Mein Dole
Bum Bum Bole, Masti Mein Tu Dol ReBum Bum Bole

All the children giggle and dance alongside Fab5, making their Sunday incredibly extraordinary and carrying on with their existence with satisfaction.

This was what Fab5 did – shared happiness. They had everything they needed, so why not spread joy? This group of kids was happy just by listening to their songs.

 They were among people who faced storms but together, surrounded by the love and care of their friends and family. They too had problems but never left one another. 

Manik was their protector,

 Cabir was their joker, 

Mukti was their fiery girl, 

Dhruv was their mind, 

and Alia was their character. 

There they were, FAB5 – one for all and all for one.

Standing close to one another in extreme conditions, wanting only happiness for each of them.

Remaining close to one another in extraordinary conditions needing just satisfaction for every one of them.

Amidst these parallel narratives , a girl who runs away from love and a boy who spreads light waiting for his love , a question lingered:

 Could Manik bring love into Nandini's life?

Love. The enigmatic force that awaited its moment to weave its own melody into the intricate tapestry of their intertwined destinies.
