Our
movie starts with a nice CG title card that flashes at us for a moment, then
fades to black. We ease back in with a shot of a nice looking house at night.
The camera shows us a few different angles before settling on a well-kept older
model car. We cut to the interior of the home to find a young boy sleeping. The
camera pans around and we start seeing images of design schematics for cars and
a drafting table. A quick pan to the right leaves us looking at a close-up of a
hand on a computer mouse, clicking away.
After a cup of coffee is poured, we see who the hand belongs to. Devan
Chaudhary takes a sip of his drink and stares at his monitor for a moment. On
his screen are the bare bone drawings of a new car model he is designing. We
watch for a bit as he clicks around and adds various features until the car
looks to be fairly complete. A quick transition has us watching him as the sun
comes up. With a satisfied look, he has the computer perform a final render on
the model, and we can see the new car rotating in 3D. With his work completed,
Devan goes to wake up his son.
Devan
sits on little Raj's bed and tells him that it is time for school. Grandma also
comes into the room to give Devan some coffee and to fill the audience in on how
things have been lately. It seems these all-nighters are something of a common
event for Devan, and she's worried that he is working too hard. Devan reassures
her that the project that had been keeping him so busy is finished, and he shows
them the plans for the new car. He says that he has a few meetings today with
various manufacturers to discuss who will make the vehicle. His first visit is
to the Four Fox company.
Devan is introduced to the board: Mr. Saxena, Mr. Kapoor, Mr. D'Costa, and
Mr. Chopra. They all settle in to have a look at Devan's specifications. After
it is over, they are all very pleased with what they've seen. They ask Devan
what his terms are for buying his plans. Devan wants 20% royalties, and his name
to be the brand of the car. The board tells him they can't put his name on it,
and will pay him a flat fee for the designs - not royalties. Devan sighs but
politely declines their offer. The board members look at each other with shifty
expressions, and reluctantly return his materials.
We
cut to the conclusion of the same presentation at Harsh Motors. This
company has agreed to all of Devan's terms and plan to start production planning
within a week. Devan returns home with the good news for the family. Grandma is
pleased and even little Raj comes out to show Devan his own drawings of cars.
Everything seems to be looking good, doesn't it?
Later that day, Devan is outside washing the car we saw in the opening
credits while Raj looks on. Raj asks Devan why he washes the car so much and
spends so much time taking care of it. Devan explains that it is important to
take care of the things you love. This car belonged to his father, and was
passed down to Devan when he was old enough. Raj will one day own the car as
well.
Devan
gets into the car and dusts off a Tarzan action figure that hangs from the
rear-view mirror. He explains to Raj that the car is strong and powerful just
like Tarzan, so that's the name he gave to the car (and at some point added an
extra "a"). After a nice father and son moment, Grandma steps out of the house
to let Devan know that he has a phone call.
Oh, and yes those might be some ominous storm clouds gathering on the plot's
horizon.
