Priya
comes over to talk with Raj. Raj hands her the rose, and wishes her a happy Rose
Day. Priya asks if the flower is for her, and Raj indicates that it is. Priya
gets very angry, and asks him how dare he give her a rose? She befriended him
thinking he was a nice simple boy, and here he is thinking she liked him. She
tells him to get lost, and throws the rose in his face.
Confused? Well don't worry, this was all Raj's imagination. Priya is still over with her buddies who are all busy furiously cutting a rug. Raj tries to compose himself after his hallucination, and Priya notices him standing there looking out of sorts. She makes an inquisitive face as Raj whips the rose he's holding behind his back. Priya walks over and asks him what he is hiding from her. He plays it off, and she helpfully doesn't press the issue. She compliments him on how he looks, and tells him they need to go dance. Raj declines, citing his lack of dancing skill. She tells him this isn't some serious dance competition, she just wants to go have fun with him. As they debate, a waiter comes over with a tray holding two drinks. Raj takes the one closest to him, and hands it to Priya. He then takes the other for himself.
From
a short distance away, the four roughnecks react in dismay. Apparently they've
slipped "intoxication pills" (as the subtitles label them) into one of the
drinks, intending it for Priya. However, Raj has picked up the spiked drink. The
guys are frustrated and think the plan is ruined, but the leader tells them it's
cool - now that Raj is drunk, he'll act "insolently" with her.
Several gulps later, Raj is indeed looking a little unbalanced. Priya asks him if he's all right, but Raj instead tells her that he was hiding a rose for her, and that he's loved her since the moment he saw her arrive at school. The four roughnecks come over and watch with proud smirks as Raj proceeds to spill his heart out in front of the whole school. Raj continues to rant for a bit, taking flowers out of everyone's hands (as well as the one in Priya's hair) and giving them to her, then he heads up towards the stage to truly confess his feelings in the way only a Bollywood hero can. Let's all enjoy "Oo La La Re Oo La La Re!"

This is a fairly standard issue love song about how much Raj loves Priya, but we do learn a few things about our boy here. One, he's got unsettlingly flexible hips. Two, he can do some fairly impressive acrobatics as part of his dancing involves mock-fighting with the four roughnecks. His overtures are apparently well-received however, much to the chagrin of the roughnecks and despite the fact she keeps hitting Raj in the face with her butt (seriously). Finally Raj collapses in a drunken heap having spent all of his energy.
The
scene fades out on Raj cuddling up in a pile of confetti, then fades back in
over at Priya's house. Ms. Priya is seen walking out of her front door and
getting into her car. She heads down the driveway and sees Raj is waiting for
her near the end of it. She stops the car and greets him. Raj immediately begins
apologizing. Priya asks him what he's sorry for. Raj explains that Grandma told
him he was talking in his sleep about Priya. Priya doesn't seem phased by this,
and even jokes with him a little bit. She tells him that she's not surprised,
since he said quite a lot in her presence too! She tells him to get in the car,
and they'll have a talk.
Priya
tells Raj that he was pretty wasted the day before. Raj tells her that he
ordinarily does not drink, and he thinks that he was a victim of a prank. She
tells him that whoever did this prank actually did him a favor. He cut loose for
once in his life, and got the whole party dancing and having fun. She does admit
that he did make one mistake. He told her that he was in love with her, but did
so while he was intoxicated. She explains that in order to do it properly, one
needs to be sober. She then proceeds to demonstrate her lesson. She leans
forward and gives Raj a kiss on the cheek, and tells him that she loves him.
Remember this everyone - getting drunk at a party results in true love. What other proof do you need?
