After the first 24 hours, Shreyas and Dinar are having an incredibly difficult time surviving at the retreat, and Prasanna challenges fickle-minded Shreyas to stay on for 48 hours. Dinar, who is ready to leave for Goa, is left fuming and summons Chotu, a local errand boy, to drink with him that night. Drunk Dinar shares a drunkard philosophy, and Chotu now sees him in a completely new light.
