Who is the spoilt brat here?

Can't you dry your own knickers?

Who threw it in my bucket? Who did it?

I did.

Fine, I'll have it dried.

Iron it as well.

He anyway doesn't do anything.

Uncle, stop playing with the drums. How about feeding us?

I can only cook if you get me groceries.

There is nothing left in the kitchen.

There is nothing left in the pocket as well, uncle.

You never had anything.

And you won't part with it even if you have it.

Do you have any?

Right, like you don't know.

I don't hang my clothes on the hook because of you.

I had folded and kept it under the pillow.

You stole two pounds which were in it to buy glue.

Like you are going to run in a marathon.

- We would have bought carrots instead. - Yes.

You are starving but you won't give up on style.

He's wasting money on his shoes.

We could have brought rice instead!

I am dying with hunger here.

- Hello? - Yeah! Good morning.

- Is this pizza store? - Yes, sir.

- Just a moment, please. - Okay.

What will you have, from pizza store?

Four pizzas, one garlic bread..

Slow down, bro.

One garlic bread.

Okay, one garlic bread, please.

- Okay. - Chicken wings.

- One garlic bread. - One supremo, one.

Dessert?

Yes, do it.

Two brownies with vanilla ice cream, okay?

- Ask for extra sauce. - Surely, sir.

Please add sauce. How much is total?

- 20 pounds. - Okay.

Can you make it fast? I can pay you extra, okay?

And the address is.. 76 Clarence Road.

Thanks, cheers mate. Okay.

- Hi! - Good morning, sir.

- Morning. - Very fast service.

Thank you, sir.

- Where is bread crumbs? - Here's your order.

Okay. Okay, thank you.

And bread crumbs?

- Here. - Okay.

Can you give me the bill, please?

I'll come back in two minutes.

- Here you go. - You've got nice hair.

Okay. I am waiting here.

- Stay there. - Thank you.

- Get them out quickly. - Hello! Please give me my money!

Give it!

Please, give my money. I am getting late.

Hello!

- Anybody there? - Sauce? Where's the sauce?

- In the bag. - Hello!

Hey, man! I am getting late. I got to go.

It's not here.

- Hello! - Uncle, I think I forgot.

- Please, give my money. - Please, get it. I don't enjoy it without the sauce.

- I have to go for another delivery. - I'll be right back, uncle. Don't worry.

Come on uncle, because of the sauce?

Hey man, why are you shouting?

I delivered my food. I am waiting for the money.

- Here? - Yeah.

Nobody lives here, man.

I've just delivered food.

Look, my kids are sleeping.

- I'll call police otherwise. - Okay, sorry. Sorry.

- Do you have any extra sauce? - Yeah, I have.

- Here it is. - Thank you.

Thank you.

Yes?

What time?

Okay, brother.

Okay cheers, buddy. Bye, bye.

Whose call it was?

There is a musical show.

- He sent us an invitation. - Who is coming?

Lakhaari keeps getting such invitations.

Take us along.

Take us along, we too will get to enjoy it.

There are a few places I like to go alone as well.

I cannot take you with me everywhere.

Take us along, we'll manage to pay for the expenses.

Fine, I'll think of something.

- Shall we? - Let's go.

- Where is Mr. Khan coming from? - Lahore, Pakistan.

Jinder, first you make a promise..

..that you will handover our full wages and won't take a commission.

I don't want to kill you by lying.

You should be grateful that we are getting food to eat. Let's go.

Come.

"The who befriended a bird.."

Today is with me here harmonium master Tabrez Wasim..

..and along with him here is Mr. Khan.

"And I fed her my flesh.."

Did you speak to Chaudhary?

You can talk to him later.

How much time do we have left for the train?

Only ten minutes.

"She fled away.."

"And never came back."

"Whenever my broken heart.."

"Whenever.."

Let's go, hurry up.

I don't understand.

Chaudhary's phone is switched off.

Father must have gone to sleep by now.

Now where will we spend the night?

This is a very cold country.

Why did you leave your shawl on the tabla? What is shivering?

You covered your harmonium so I too covered my tabla.

I thought maybe there is..

..a custom of leaving something behind for the maestro.

Thank God for giving us arms so that we can do this.

If only God has blessed us with hair as well.

Let's hope we get a place to spend the night.

I am wondering where should we sleep.

Binder, you had called?

I am working, I didn't realise.

But I can't hear you working.

I am kneading flour. Should I also scream while doing so?

Well..

I wanted to talk to you.

Come to the point, I am getting late for work.

Rupi's future in-laws want the marriage to take place soon.

Okay.

- When? - They are eager.

They say we can even do it next week if we want.

Fine, we have to get her married someday anyway.

Today or tomorrow doesn't make a difference.

- Talk to them. - Okay.

I'll talk to the matchmaker.

It's your father. Here.

- Talk. - Video call..

Hello, dear. How are you?

- Hello, daddy. - Hello.

Daddy, you shouldn't knead flour in front of me. I don't like it.

I am doing it for you.

- Move it a little. - Hello, dear?

How are you, Rupi?

- Hello, brother. - Hello.

Let me know if you need anything. I'll send it over.

Let him know, dear. He is anyway not going to send it.

Come on, uncle!

- Hello, aunt. - Hello, son.

- God bless you. - Thank you, thank you.

Take good care of my sister.

Of course I will, son.

You should take care of your uncle.

Don't worry about uncle, aunt.

We have girls surrounding us idlers but no one spares a glance at him.

- Come on! - We are keeping him in line, let me tell you.

Bye, I'll talk to you later.

- Bye. - Bye.

Okay.

This place is getting rented..

There go our chances of free meals.

The tenant is hot but.

Shall I try?

She is looking at you.

Let's take other things out later.

Hey girls, how are you?

We are living there.

- Neighbours.. - Hello. Don't you have any shame?

You already started flirting?

Hello, how are you! Take the bags!

- This is.. - Not that one, this one.

Go and tell them that I'll be a little late.

Okay?

Let's go.

No it's okay, we'll carry them.

I've only left Punjab and not Punjabi culture.

My uncle says that..

..you should take whatever help you can in a foreign country.

Let's go.

What happened?

I'll feed his lunch to the birds today.

Let's follow him before he flees away with our bags. Come on.

Let's go.

You want them in the closet?

No.

Kitchen is at the back, washroom is right next to it.

Bedroom is upstairs, I think.

You are quite lucky to get neighbours like us.

We have a very sporting nature.

You should feel proud of being a lyrist's neighbours.

I am a lyrist.

- You are a lyrist? - Yes.

I too love poetries.

Oh really? Then shall I make some tea?

Your poetry along with my tea, it will be great fun.

Hey mister, you won't get anything from here.

We too are daily wagers. Thank you.

How many times will you thank me?

I'll keep coming to help you.

Bye, I'll get going now. Myself Jinder.

- Myself Bal. - Hi.

Let me know if you need anything.

Cheers, bye.

Jinder?

- Yes? - Just checking.

Also get the taps checked then.

There is no hot water in the kitchen.

Okay..

How does he know so much about this place?

He must be bluffing.

Neither Chaudhary nor your father is answering the phones.

Nor does God answering my prayers.

Then they say that Buta curses.

I think we should go back to Mr. Khan and apologise.

You know I had trouble sleeping last night.

I faced no trouble.

I slept on the street. It was quite breezy. I faced no trouble.

I felt someone licking my face at night.

When I woke up, I saw that it was a dog.

I tried to scare him away, and his owner took him away.

I faced no trouble.

The building we were sleeping in front off..

We cursed by a local.

I faced no trouble.

I went back to sleep on the street.

No, I too don't have any problem sleep on the street.

It's not like someone recognises me over here.

The only thing troubling me is that there are cameras everywhere..

..if police learns about this then we will sleep here..

..and wake up in our homes in Punjab.

- Excuse me. Excuse me. - Yes.

- He answered? - God answered my prayers!

- He answered? - No.

I think this country is very poor.

This is not a poor country, son.

If it was poor then they wouldn't have gold statues everywhere.

Here we have gold statues without any guards..

..whereas they even chain steel glasses in Punjab.

Come on, let's check it out.

It's made out of gold. I thought it was some dog..

Let's take a selfie with it.

Okay, let's take a selfie.

It is very lanky.

I think it is diabetic.

No, I think this is the result of starving in this country.

No, I think the one who made him, slapped him later.

I think the maker didn't have a lot of material to work with.

Look at his moustaches. They look like a dog holding sticks.

Do you want a selfie with me or get me a marriage proposal?

He's one of our own!

- Really? - He has coloured himself golden?

I think he's happen to see his own countrymen.

- He is happy. He is happy. - Yes.

- You are happy to meet us? - Lift your foot!

Get lost!

Get to your work! Don't disturb me.

- We are disturbing you? - Go!

People who aren't even lent cycles back home manage to bag a UK visa?

Bloody idiots!

No hot water for real.

Shall I call him?

Don't make me hurt you.

"Oh farmer from Punjab, why did you work for daily wages?"

Get them!

Coming, brother!

Move faster. Hurry up now.

I am coming!

Jinder, for how long will we keep working in shifts like this?

We won't die for another10-15 if we keep getting food.

Father's calling.

Tell him how much shifts you have been on.

I seek your blessings.

And here I am begging those from whom I have taken a loan.

You are right, but tell me what do you want me to do?

I am still at work.

Let's do a video call.

Then I will know whether you are at work or in bed.

You don't trust me?

You want me to curse you?

Don't you know me?

- Do a video call. - Fine, answer it.

- Tell me. - Tell me how many shifts you did last week.

Four shifts, daddy.

But you send me money only for three.

You don't want me to eat? You want me to die?

Didn't we do five shifts, Billa?

He isn't asking how many you did. I did four, daddy.

Then how did he do five shifts?

Forget it, daddy. He is my friend.

He will help me become a citizen.

Let me talk to him.

Jinder.

Hello, uncle.

Are you a citizen here, son?

Yes, British passport.

Okay, let me talk to Billa.

- Yes? - He looks like a cheat.

Beware of him.

I sent you abroad by borrowing 15 lakhs rupees.

You have only returned 300,000 in the past two years.

I am sending all that I can, daddy. Now do you expect me to rob a bank?

Did Nathu's son rob a bank to build a bungalow?

He went abroad with you.

I am selling frozen water here.

And you?

You cannot find work in UK?

Gaffer is coming this way, daddy.

We'll first destroy Nathu's bungalow after you become a citizen.

Yes, we will.

You know what, dear?

We will sit here..

..and settle everything today.

What a view!

It's your son.

I hope everything is fine.

I hope UK didn't ban him after looking at his face.

- Hello. - Greetings, father.

I have been calling you all night. Your phone was switched off.

Ask him whether he has reached there safe and sound?

I will. Did you meet any girl who is a UK citizen in the plane?

They don't serve such girls for breakfast here.

I have managed to come to UK, haven't I? I'll find one here.

He'll find one there! Our relatives refused to marry their daughters to you.

And he think he'll find one in UK.

Son, I told you, I have a friend there.

Kamran from Gujjarawala.

He lives in Birmingham.

I have already called him up. Just go and meet him.

He'll find you a girl and get you the citizenship.

You had asked me to meet someone before as well.

- He won't meet us. - Where are you right now?

Wandering around in the streets.

I think we will see the entire UK like this.

Chaudhary has switched off his phone.

- I'll send his other number. - Okay, father.

- What did he say? - He said he'll send another number.

Here it is.

Hello?

- Greetings, Mr. Chaudhary. - Greetings. May God be with you.

I am Wasim's son.

Oh yes, your father had called me.

Did you face any problem?

We spent the nights on streets.

Your phone was switched off.

I keep my work phone switched off at night.

We called you in the morning as well.

I was busy in the morning.

Where are you right now?

- Mr. Chaudhary? - I am in my office.

I think I am close to your office.

Hello? Hello? What happened?

- Mr. Chaudhary? - What happened?

He isn't dead. He's just gone silent.

Thank you.

Yes? Yes, Mr. Chaudhary?

A client had come over.

I'll send you over my address.

Let's meet in the evening. - Please hurry up.

Bye, brother. See you tomorrow.

Not tomorrow. We have enough men for tomorrow.

I'll call you if I'll be needing you two.

Please take us along. You can pay 10 pounds less if you want.

I'll at least have a shift to work on.

I cannot redo my house just to give you a job.

Take us along, at least one of us.

Take him along.

Billa, run!

Hold on..

It's an ambulance.

You made me lose.

Here are two pounds. - You won.

I had made a bet with him that I'll reach the signal before the ambulance.

He won.

Don't worry, you can race with the ice cream van next.

Don't worry, you can race with the ice cream van next.

Wonderful. This is such a beautiful house.

Thank God we finally found it.

Chaudhary has a very big house.

Look at his name! Chaudhary Shamsher!

His chest must be as wide as the door.

I am sure he must be sitting far beyond his 1500 rooms..

..on an elephant or a horse.

You cannot have an elephant or a horse in a bungalow!

I think Chaudhary must be lying like this in the swimming pool.

A dozen white girls must be standing outside with a towel.

So that they can help him get dry after he comes out.

Why isn't Chaudhary coming out?

Are you crazy? Chaudhary won't come on his own.

He must be having a servant to do this job.

They are the same people.

Have they come here to curse me?

What is it? What is it?

What's happening with you?

Your nose is as sharp as a nail!

You should be grateful that it didn't pierce through your hand.

Brother, did you get this nose later?

Go call Chaudhary.

- What do you want? - Behave yourself.

You shouldn't do that.

Go and call Chaudhary.

Such people keep twirling like this and then say that..

..they saw everywhere but couldn't find Chaudhary.

Go and call Chaudhary.

I am Chaudhary.

You had said he'll have chest as wide as the door.

This Chaudhary can slip through closed doors.

Go and call Chaudhary Shamsher.

And who do you think I am? I am Chaudhary.

Are you going to call him or should I complain to him..

..that his servant claims to be Chaudhary.

- Go and complain. - Chaudhary Shamsher!

Yes?

I am Chaudhary Shamsher! From UK!

He is Chaudhary!

Hey tong..

- Go, call Chaudhary. - Hey rusted nail..

- Go, call Chaudhary. - Have you seen your face?

You look like a roadkill.

- Go and call Chaudhary. - You look like a hairpin.

Go and call Chaudhary.

Do you recognise me or should I leave?

Chaudhary Shamsher!

- Chaudhary Shamsher! - Yes.

I knew that you are Chaudhary the moment you came out.

Who else could have such a glowing face?

Your face suggest that you make all the decision in UK.

Mr. Chaudhary, you have such a tiny nose.

You should have had a big one.

Now come to the point.

I am Sheikh Wasim's son from Lahore.

You are Sheikh Wasim's son?

- Yes, Mr. Chaudhary. - You are Sheikh Wasim's son?

Yes, Mr. Chaudhary. Mr. Chaudhary, I am not that.

I am not like that.

- My name is Buta (plant). - A plant without a single leave?

He is a cactus, Mr. Chaudhary.

He has no leaves.

I brought him along with him.

He is my friend.

- He is? - Yes.

But he looks like a thief.

- Tavrej, I am a thief? - Yes.

You look like what he says.

No, no, no. It is not so.

Your father told me such.

Oh I see, your father calls me a thief there and you call me a thief here!

And then they say that Buta curses!

Don't curse!

His father called me and said that he and his friend..

..are coming over to stay with me.

Oh I see.

- Mr. Chaudhary, will we be sleeping here? - No.

- Is a lady changing her clothes inside? - No.

- Then the dog is unleashed? - No way.

Then why don't you ask us to come inside?

Actually, I am so happy to see you two..

- Oh I see. - ..that I am lost my mind.

Let's go.

- This way. - Mr. Chaudhary, the door is over here.

Oh yes. Come on in. Really sorry about that.

Come in, no problem. Come inside.

Oh damn!

Not coming inside?

We will, after we get ourselves bandaged.

Oh, I am sorry. - Are you hurt?

- No, let's go. - Sorry! Let's go.

- After you. - No, after you.

You are right.

Mr. Chaudhary, this doesn't seem right.

- You go ahead. - I don't like his face.

- You two.. - Let's go.

Come this way.

Mr. Chaudhary, this is so messy. Who stays here, a dog?

Don't be crazy. I think Mr. Chaudhary's servant stays here.

He caused this mess.

Where are the other rooms, Mr. Chaudhary?

This is all it is.

You stay with a dog?

I will have to, henceforth.

You should give me a different room then.

Hey Mr. Different Room, this is the only room!

Here's where you will sleep, sit and eat.

And the staircase outside? Do they lead to Paris?

It is owned by the landlord.

Don't look at or touch anything.

You will eat, sleep, sit and stay here.

And what if one wants to walk?

You can walk till the kitchen.

How is he a Chaudhary?

He has no white girls working for him. He has no pool.

And then they say that Buta curses.

Listen to me, if you want to curse then curse in this room.

The sound shouldn't go outside.

This is a private property.

You will have to stay cautious.

Listen to me, we'll have to share the electricity, water and gas bills.

A third each.

How much will it be per person, Mr. Chaudhary?

Around 350 pounds per head.

It's okay, my father will pay that.

Mr. Chaudhary, I think we should get another person.

That will bring down the rent.

Oh noble man, I want two more to join us.

So that the rent decreases and I can stay for free.

Mr. Chaudhary, don't rent it to so many people, it will be too crowded.

Very good.

Eight people have stayed in this room before and no one objected.

- Who are you to object? - Then invite everyone from Lahore.

It is a very big room!

Mr. Chaudhary, how will we two sleep on this bed?

No, no, no!

I'll sleep on this bed.

I cannot sleep on floor.

So we will be sleeping on the floor?

Mr. Chaudhary, you know that we are artists.

Oh, sorry. I forgot.

You are artists.

- Yes. - Come here.

Let's throw the mattress down there.

We won't shift for another year, I swear.

Let's sleep now. We have an early morning shift tomorrow.

Come on.

Time for some practice, boys!

Jinder, I don't care how well or how badly you write..

..but I cannot sleep till I don't listen to your song.

No uncle, I am too tired today.

I swear, we are dead.

It doesn't take too much to sing.

- Start singing. - I am not in the mood either.

We don't have work in the morning. Gaffer said not to come tomorrow.

I have an offer.

Both of you come with me.

I have a booking.

You always convince me with that.

Come on.

I think we might have to move in the morning itself.

"Well done, young man."

"I am so proud of you."

"Oh farmer from Punjab, why did you work for daily wages?"

"May God have mercy on you!"

"God bless you, the one from UK!"

"May God have mercy on you!"

"God bless you, the one from UK!"

"Your Taxi can be found on the streets, you may always get good fares."

"Now they ride trucks and trailers who used to ride Mahindras and Fords."

"And Fords!"

Uncle, this is for our future.

"Now white men are jealous of you, you are now a top class businessman."

"May God have mercy on you!"

"God bless you, the one from UK!"

"May God have mercy on you!"

"God bless you, the one who got sponsored!"

Well done.

No matter how he is, but he writes better than you do.

You bore me with your poetry.

Oh I see.

Shall I make him my master?

Don't make me hurt you.

Come on, go to sleep.

Switch off the lights.

Hello, maestro!

Go on. You are 10 minutes late.

This is UK. You'll get scolded at work.

Are you spying only on us or the whole locality?

"He stayed out for 12 years, he came back with sweets."

"Come on, let's meet!"

"Come on, let's meet!"

- Take this. - "Come on, let's meet!" - Two, three, four.

- Take that. - "Come on, let's meet!"

Seven, eight, nine.

25 notes.

Stop counting. Sing.

"Say it!"

"Say it slowly.."

"Say it!"

"Say it slowly.."

"Say it!"

"Say it slowly.."

Uncle!

We are in trouble today. Now teach us how we should run!

Don't follow me! Run! Run! Run! Do you want me to get into trouble?

- Take me along. - Run alone! Go!

Uncle, I..

Run, Jinder!

Hey dude!

Hello!

Where to, Punjab's farmer?

Don't bug me, I am already late for the show.

Sing me a song.

We'll give you a ride if we like it.

You are taking Jinder Batalvi lightly.

I will soon have my shows in Camberley.

You will need to buy tickets to watch my shows.

Oh I am so sorry, superstar. Come on, get in.

Bless the car with your presence.

Get in.

How much more time will it take?

You are bound to take longer just because I took a lift from you.

What's the hurry?

You already lost your day's job.

The wedding must be over by now.

Poor me needs to find another job, right?

Oh, do you know anything else as well?

I thought you only know how to sing and dance.

I can sing and dance. I can work on construction sites as well.

- I know electrical work. - Oh I see.

- I can somewhat handle plumbing as well. - Great.

Do you get anything?

I know a lot of things, but what are you two doing?

You shouldn't be working at this age.

You are in UK, you should have fun.

Spend your father's money and live a good life.

I don't have a father..

..so no good life for me.

"We girls no longer live in the dream world, mother!"

"Worries have taken over our smiles, mother!"

"We girls no longer live in the dream world, mother!"

"In the dream world.."

"Beautiful girls take a step outside.."

"They leave to be at the par with the boys."

"Matching them at every step, mother!"

"We girls no longer live in the dream world.."

I kept calling you yesterday. Why didn't you answer the call?

Is everything alright?

Don't ask, Binder. We barely escaped. We ran to save our lives.

It would have been good if we got caught.

I would at least be able to come back to you.

How are Jinder and Billa?

Jinder and Billa are okay and safe. We are fine.

But I lost my drum.

Don't worry about the drum.

You can buy a new one.

You have the tuner and the adjuster, right?

What will I tune and adjust with them?

What are you saying?

I'll talk to you later.

Don't worry, uncle.

We have put on name and address on the drum.

Who knows some decent person might come across it..

..and they might return it to us.

God answered your prayer pretty soon.

Decent people got hold of it.

Oh damn!

Take your emergency bags.

Let's go, Jinder!

Go, go, go!

Yes, daddy?

Tell me about your shifts this week.

Shifts?

Monday I went to construction site.

On Tuesday I went to the housing site.

- On Wednesday I.. - Start driving.

He did three shifts last week.

And four shifts this week.

And the Gaffer didn't pay for 23 shifts.

And we will be in big trouble if we don't hang up now. Drive!

- Yes? - We are looking Bikkar Dholi.

- Sorry? - Bikkar Dholi.

It's Bikkar Dholi.

No, we are standing on the street. Police has raided our house.

Listen, do you have a place where we can stay?

Let me know if you know any place.

A place to stay? No, bro.

I'll still to find out.

I'm a little busy.

Can I talk to you later?

Okay, bro.

All of them are useless.

Your friends are just like you.

I am telling you, there is nothing to worry about.

I'll do something about this.

I don't feel like trusting you, but unfortunately I'll have to.

Uncle, I have 20 places I can go to alone.

I am not going because..

..I know you'll keep wandering in the streets if I leave.

Why aren't you two sleeping?

Can't sleep, Mr. Chaudhary.

Why?

Family needs money.

Mr. Chaudhary, how much time will it take for us to get a job?

Even citizens don't get jobs easily here.

You are still strugglers.

Mr. Chaudhary, how did you become a citizen?

Oh, like this.

I never told this to anyone.

Fine then don't tell us as well.

- What did you do? - First I stretched my legs.

It was a bloody long journey.

Did you come in a plane or a crow.

Listen to me..

If you want to make money, you'll need to work three shifts.

I used to work three shifts.

But I was unique.

Because I quite young.

Switch off the lights.

Uncle?

Uncle?

Please spend the night in the car tonight.

I'll find us a home by tomorrow.

I have no other option.

My back's hurting.

My back's hurting.

Hello?

Yes, who is it?

You didn't recognise me?

Oh, you.

No girl has ever called me from a UK number.

That too at this hour. That's why.

Where are you? You are still not home.

I forgot to tell you. We left that house.

- Why? - It is very congested.

Three of us using one washroom.

We are looking for something big.

The cops gave the drum to me.

You can come and take it whenever you want.

Oh, I see.

Anyway, take care, wherever you are.

Fine, okay.

Bye.

Who was it?

The Queen, from the Buckingham palace.

She said she'll arrange for a room there, don't stress.

I'll be right back.

Be careful.

There is good news for you, uncle.

You found us a home?

I found your drum.

Excuse me!

- Jinder.. - "It is time to meet.."

Excuse me!

Did you realise this is private property?

What's your name?

Where are you from?

Your thumb. Here.

Right. Come with me.

[speaking gibberish]

No, what is your name?

Name?

[speaking gibberish]

When were you born?

[speaking gibberish]

You're just saying the same thing again.

You're not trying to answer my question. You're just repeating yourself here.

Where are you from? So obviously, you're in England.

You've come here, haven't you, so where are you from?

You're in England.

[speaking gibberish]

No, no, we're in England now.

[speaking gibberish]

How did you get here?

- Sir, I'm gonna show it to you on the map now. - Yeah!

Come with me.

- No, no, no. - No, no.

- Come here. - Come here.

So now, me..

From.. UK.

Where are you from?

[speaking gibberish]

No, no, no. You're not from England, are you?

You're from somewhere else. Where in the world are you from?

[speaking gibberish]

[speaking gibberish]

Okay.

- Do you want to take a seat again? - [speaking gibberish]

- No, no, no. - No, no, no.

- Just take a seat. - You're not getting out of here.

Brother, I hope they haven't deported him already.

Not if they didn't find any proof on him.

Then it should be fine.

And you have a good lawyer, okay?

Your work is done.

- How are you? - Thank you for spending so much?

- Who does this for anyone else? - Shut up.

Please don't tell father about it. That I got caught.

Sorry, your father had called. You have many missed calls.

Call him up.

Yes, daddy? Hello.

Where are you?

At work.

Did the police release you?

Why did you tell him?

I told him.

So what?

I didn't bother you, did I?

Or did I ask you for the money?

My friends bailed me out.

I sent 1000 pounds to your friends.

Counsellor, how much did it cost us?

800 pounds.

You took 1000 from daddy.

You should be grateful to God that you got out.

Come on, let's go house hunting.

We've been running from pillar to post for you since last night.

- Find a small one for me. - Let's go.

"He keeps your in his pocket."

"He assumes.."

Mr. Chaudhary, you know how do you look like with that helmet on?

- How do I look? - Like a basking frog.

Shame on the life you've spent and on that you have left.

Mr. Chaudhary, don't you this cycle is too big for you?

I am sure you stand and ride it.

Give it back to the kid you took it from.

His mother will find your house soon enough.

She will come here and curse you.

That too in English.

Excuse me!

I have purchased it from my salary. I spend 200 pounds on it.

Have you ever seen 200 pounds?

Mr. Chaudhary, what is your salary?

It depends on weather.

More on a sunny day and less on a rainy day.

Mr. Chaudhary, I guessed what work you do from what you just said.

What? What?

Let it go, Mr. Chaudhary.

You'll be in a bad mood the whole day.

Who knows what he has in his mind.

You should use your hands like you use your tongue.

We are new here. We shouldn't be using our hands.

I mean to clean utensils.

You need to clean utensils with these hands.

- He will. - And you will dust the house.

He will.

Mr. Chaudhary, who will take care of the meals?

You two, together.

I don't like lazy people around me.

Caution is necessary.

And he won't do anything?

He's go straight into the ICU.

And then they say that Buta curses.

You should have said it to his face.

Then you would know how he would throw Buta out.

Find me a house, please. Please try.

I don't even mind a small one. A room will also do.

What is it?

Uncle, don't sit before him.

You too look like a beggar by sitting before him.

He is at least steady. But you even stay steady on your word.

You have been saying that we'll find a house since two days now.

You want a house?

- There. - Hear that.

Do you have one for yourself?

People like you stay in burrows and not homes.

Hey golden owl.. the likes of you sleep upside on a wire.

Careful, they often attack on the knees.

Be careful.

Do you want a house or not?

Oh the counsellor for idiots. You look like a pigeon's beak.

Worms like you hide in the tap. He will get us a house.

Stop your nonsense and hear him out.

You don't look smart but you say smart things.

Hear that.

I have a house, but you'll have to find it.

Note down the address.

6 Kennington road, Birmingham, West One.

Listen to me. Go there and say Mr. Chaudhary..

- What will you say? - Chaudhary..

Not Chaudhary! That's why people don't give you a place.

Say Mr. Chaudhary. Show him some respect.

- Mr. Chaudhary.. - Yes.

He will let you stay on rent. Okay. Go.

Go. Get lost!

Hey bumblebee, if this is a joke then we will do some serious damage.

You'll be lying statue from tomorrow then.

I'll turn you into a sticker and..

Where are you? Mr. Khan keeps calling.

Mr. Khan is calling?

Yes. He keeps asking if you have come back to Pakistan.

He has the passport. I cannot fly away.

We never know with you. Men who leave their homes anyway grow wings.

Don't get married to a white female there.

Stupid, which white girl will agree to marry me?

I got married to you with great difficulty.

Take care of the kids, okay?

Tell me about mother, is she fine?

She misses you a lot.

Take care of her.

Take her for regular check ups.

Yes, we had done it.

Doctor says we will have to do the operation.

I'll send so money over as soon as I can.

Okay. Goodbye.

Goodbye.

- Back off. - Buzz off!

Isn't he the same beggar who stands at that juncture?

Son, we steal from beggars too.

This isn't a juncture which has no walls.

We have a room here, we'll strip you off all your belongings.

- I'll.. - Listen to me.

Don't beg from us. To beg from beggar is a sin.

- I am Chaudhary.. - If you want to meet Chaudhary then meet him outside.

You cannot meet him here. That's it.

And he is Chaudhary only in name. He is our servant.

He is such an idiot, this Chaudhary!

Trust me, we make him do all the household chores.

I sleep on the bed whereas he sleeps on the floor.

Chaudhary cleans the whole house.

I beat him up and make him do it.

I cannot sleep till he doesn't massage my calves.

He also washes my dirty laundry.

He cleans our dirty dishes too.

Oh!

- He left.. - Just..

Keep the cycle and the bag inside..

..because precaution is necessary.

He is Mr. Chaudhary.

Yes. You say anything without thinking.

Then you say that Buta curses.

Now Chaudhary will curse.

See, I told you, I massage Mr. Chaudhary's calves before I sleep.

I consider you as my father, Mr. Chaudhary.

Mr. Chaudhary, you are the boss, I am the servant.

You don't need to say that.

I have three guests coming over.

When they ring the doorbell..

- We will open the door. - No, don't open the door.

They will jump the wall and come inside?

Can they walk through walls?

They shouldn't know that three people are already staying here.

Clean this room and place this mattress back on the bed.

And disappear when they come here.

I want to do a one to one conversation with them.

Mr. Chaudhary, considering the size of the room..

..no matter how much ever I try to hide myself you'll see some part of me.

You should listen to your elders. Then you say that Buta curses.

- Pick up the mattress. - Come on. Pick it up.

Stand still. Remove your earphones.

- Straighten your collar. - Okay.

You should act decent before the landlord.

You let it be, you look decent.

But you aren't, actually.

You shouldn't ring the bell so many times, it might get stuck.

- We want to meet Mr. Chaudhary. - Why?

We want to rent a room.

Oh! Come in, come in. Come in.

This is the house.

And don't consider it as your own.

Follow me.

This is the room where we live together.

Do you stay here alone, or does someone else too live here?

No, I am usually alone.

- Where's the kitchen? - First left.

And the cook is checking out the kitcehen.

What?

Uncle, since you are out there also check out the washroom for Jinder.

- Which one of them is Jinder? - I am.

- You will stay in the washroom? - Mostly.

Well, the kitchen is better than the last one.

There are only four of us anyway. It won't be used much.

Keep a distance, man. Then they say that Buta curses. Stay back!

- Does anyone else too stay here? - He said he is alone.

Yes, I have partners.

Partner?

Partners, come here. No problem.

You were behind the curtain?

We were sitting behind the curtain and calculating.

We have so much money.

We got 50,000 pounds deposited in the bank..

..but he forgot which bank it was.

You shouldn't worry.

You are worrying only for a small amount of 50,000.

What is 50,000 pounds?

We have so much money..

- ..that we wonder what we should do with it! - Please, sit down. Sit.

- Please, sit. - Wait a minute.

I'm getting a call from Punjab.

Papa. How are you, papa? Are you fine?

No papa, you don't.. You don't understand.

I cannot have dinner with Imran Khan on Friday.

He won't listen to you. Let me talk to him.

Uncle, he cannot go out for dinner on Friday.

He will be getting thrashed here.

- Uncle is laughing as well. - Don't joke.

Hello? Yes, papa.

I'll talk to you later. I'm in a business meeting.

Hang up.

Fine, don't hang up. You too can listen in.

It will only consume a balance of 1500 pounds.

- It's okay. - Listen, shouldn't we hire a boy?

Yes, let's find an ordinary person and give him 15,000 pounds.

It will help a poor man.

We have a lot of money.

- What happened? - Oh no.

What happened, brother?

I had 50 pounds, I dropped it somewhere.

- You dropped it? - Here?

- Yes. - Now?

- In this room? - Yes.

Wait brother, we'll find it. We are here for you.

You are so careless. How can you drop money?

It must be here somewhere. Calm down.

Get up, brother.

Stand up.

Oh God, please help us find it.

Stand up, uncle. I doubt you.

They were sitting here. It must be here. Check over here.

We will find it from here.

Brother, you should give me one pound if I find your five pounds.

- Yes. - Yes.

- We'll find it right away. - Brother..

..you should take them outside.

I'll tidy up this room.

We will share the chore.

We will find them.

Look you are a brother. There is nothing to worry about.

You just need to pay the rent on time.

I'll handle them, I need a pound.

- Okay. - Deal done?

- Done. - Then get your bags and start partying.

Making deliveries in the mornings.

Working in the coffee shop in the afternoons. And packing in the evenings.

You sleep on a mattress filled with pounds?

Are you crazy?

I use the pounds to wipe my hands clean.

Right. Cheers, bye.

Did you manage to find 50 pounds?

50 pounds?

If I had dropped even 2 pounds, I would've even opened the floor to check.

You are such a fool!

He told me that we'd spilt it equally.

You shouldn't make fun of the poor.

Some of us have weak hearts.

- And the way you pulled our legs? - What did we do?

We left everything over there. Do you know how much loss we incurred?

You were there?

- You know that VIP table? - Yes.

- Where all the VIPs sit? - Yes.

We were serving them cold drinks.

- You were wearing black suits? - Yes.

You are such clever people.

You didn't speak up when they were acting to be rich.

I thought they have just come. I shouldn't insult them.

It's amazing that you recognised us.

It is not difficult to recognise you.

It's not you can change your hairstyle like this.

Don't say that. Otherwise then don't say that Buta curses.

Brother, don't curse.

We too are just like you from within.

- Yes. - This means you too are artists?

- Right. - Right.

He plays tabla and he plays harmonium..

Uncle plays drums and I write.. and sometimes sing as well.

And what does this boy do?

He collects the money on the floor.

Mr. Chaudhary, what do you do?

I too am artist just like all of you.

I am no doctor either.

- Do you have a pound? - Yes.

Throw it over here and you'll know what Chaudhary does.

- Can you sing? - Yes.

You sing and he will dance.

- I don't want to dance. - Why?

- My teeth are aching. - Then don't dance on your teeth today.

Get my diary.

This is a big deal. Someone served you right!

The other one.

You can settle the accounts later. Sing us a song first.

I thought you weren't only blessed with hair..

..but you weren't blessed with a brain either.

He has penned his songs in his diary.

Billa, give me the drum.

Give it here.

He says..

"We escaped the fields only to end up slogging abroad."

"We escaped the fields only to end up slogging abroad."

"We manage stay healthy even when we are under the weather."

"We manage stay healthy even when we are under the weather."

"We get tired working shifts day and night.."

"We escaped the fields only to end up slogging abroad."

"We escaped the fields only to end up slogging abroad."

- Tavrej.. - Yes?

You cannot sleep even though you don't owe anyone any money?

Don't we have to go meet Kamran?

Why aren't you ready?

I am feeling sleepy. You go ahead.

What if he has a girl who is a citizen already waiting there?

And what if she looks at me and says:

Handsome, let's get married today itself.

I think you too need some more sleep.

Pour some water over your head so that you can think clearly.

- Greetings, brother. - Greetings.

- Are you good? - I'm good.

- Would you like some tea? - No, thank you.

I had kept some milk here.

That's why I said thank you. I used it.

- Not even a little was left? - Yes, there was a little left.

- Where is it? - I made coffee from it.

Then there is none left. Anyway, I'll get some more milk.

Tavrej, do you think he hit me on purpose last night?

No, you are mistaken.

It happens when you are high.

Once a man had my alcohol and then slapped me.

Tavrej, if you want to have bread then bring your own jam.

You used up half the bottle on one slice of bread.

Bloody hogger.

I was about to have a heart attack!

You too want to go to the bathroom?

Yes, I do. You can go first if you want to.

No, I am getting the pressure, but I can control.

You are elder to me, you should go first.

- No. - I'll go later.

No, you go on. Go.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

Jinder?

Did you fall asleep inside?

Come out if you are done with the album.

His album takes time to finish.

He takes a lot of retakes.

Jinder, how about acknowledging me atleast?

There is something called as patience as well.

There is something called as shame as well.

Forget the rent of the room..

..first let's decide what will pay me per month for the bathroom.

You say such sweet things, Mr. Chaudhary.

Whereas your face resembles an elbow.

You didn't get it?

Like this.

You can match it and see.

Caution is necessary.

Hello?

I forgot, you know Bhola from the neighbouring village..

I have sent it with him.

Take Shinda along and get it.

He will go to meet his relations soon.

Then you will have to keep hunting for him. Yes, okay.

Okay, I'll talk to you later.

Okay. Bye. Okay.

Jinder Batalvi, don't let your tea go cold while thinking about the lyrics.

Jinder, is Chaudhary gone?

Even people like Alexander couldn't last forever then how can Chaudhary.

Chaudhary is a scoundrel, he won't die so soon.

How do I send money to Punjab?

Go to a moneytransfer shop.

Take your passport along.

Passport why? I don't want them to personally go to deliver the money.

I want to send it from here.

You will need an ID, brother.

But my passport is with Mr. Khan.

Then give the money to Mr. Khan, he will send it.

Brother, give it to me.

I'll do it when I'll go to send his money.

Tell me how much money do you wish to send?

I want to send 20 pounds.

All of that is pound?

Yes, all of it.

Brother, that's a lot of cash you are carrying.

You should hire a gunman for protection.

Learn to shoot and I'll hire you.

Bloody donkey!

Then they say that Buta curses.

Actually my family needed some money.

Brother, 20 pounds is the fees.

Atleast send 100.

Do what do I do with this?

Put it back in your pocket.

Buta!

We are going to meet Kamran! Why aren't you ready as yet?

I am ready. It's not like I need to wet and set my hair.

But son, you still need to shine the surface, don't you?

Brother, please pray for me.

Yes, please pray for him. He's getting operated.

Let's go, son. Come on.

Is this the shop?

I think this is the shop.

- Come on, let's go. - Wait.

I think we should go back.

You walked all the way and you want to go back now?

Then they say that Buta curses.

You know, we are only going to get embarrassed inside.

Why? Why will we get embarrassed?

When we go inside and Kamran asks who is he..

- ..then I will say that he is my friend. - Yes.

- And you know what he will say to that? - What will he say?

That he looks like a thief.

Tavrej!

You won't stop saying this, will you?

You spread this rumour all across Lahore that I look like a thief.

Even my kids had started hiding their toys when they say me coming..

..fearing that their father might steal them.

I check my wallet 50 times whether I stole something from it.

Listen, you won't call me a thief over here.

I am not crazy to call you a thief. You are my friend.

- Why would I call you a thief? - Yes.

Can I call you a thief? You have always lived a decent life.

- You are not a thief. - Yes.

Who calls you a thief? Do you look like a thief?

I'll break their legs if anyone addresses you as a thief.

People will only once you stop.

You just won't stop.

- That's it, I am leaving. - Wait, wait. You are my brother.

I'll never call you a thief again.

- "Come with me." - Okay listen..

There are a lot of things here, don't flick anything.

You have come here to see a girl and not statues.

I'm just checking the designs, son.

Then check out the tall ones, there no tall ones at your home.

Stop your nonsense. Come with me.

Kamran?

- Yes I am Kamran. - Greetings, uncle.

- Greetings. - Did you recognise me?

No.

We are meeting for the first time, how will you recognise me?

I am Wasim's son, from Pakistan.

How is it possible? He looks as old as you.

Actually uncle, get got married at quiet a young age.

- How young was he? - On his wedding..

He was the one bursting crackers.

Yes, I was there.

- He asked me who are you? - I said I want to be your son.

Come on, uncle. You are so funny.

Anyway, forget it. Tell me, what do you want?

A girl who is a citizen.

If you don't have a citizen then arrange for two non-citizens.

- Who is he? - He's my friend.

He looks like a thief.

You told him? I am a thief? Am I a thief?

You are not a thief, keep this down.

Uncle, you shouldn't say such things to someone's face.

You should take the person to a corner and whisper it into their ears.

"Buta, you look like a thief."

Right?

Why say such a thing in the first place?

Then they say that Buta curses.

Show me a girl.

I don't have girls on the shelves here. "Show me a girl!"

And it is difficult in UK to find a female citizen who is willing to get married.

It takes time.

It's okay, uncle. You can take all the time you want.

But she is should be a citizen and not aged.

Father also told me to ask for work.

How can I offer you work, your papers aren't in order.

You'll either have to do construction work or go to the fields.

People still go to the fields?

Uncle, we are artists.

Then I can send you to the restaurant next door.

"Alarm is ringing, it's morning!"

"You'll lose the job, if you keep delaying."

"Come on, my boy!"

"Come on, my boy!"

"Alarm is ringing, it's morning!"

"You'll lose the job, if you keep delaying."

"Come on, my boy!"

"Come on, my boy!"

"You will have to get out of the warm blanket.."

"Come on, my boy!"

"Come on, my boy!"

"Come on, my boy!"

"Come on, my boy!"

"Come on, my boy!"

"Come on, my boy!"

"Come on, my boy!"

"Come on, my boy!"

"We live abroad. Even when we are under the weather.."

- Come. Come. - Welcome, brother.

- Move back. - Oh my..

Jinder you sing so well.

I am honestly your fan.

Wonderful. Mr. Chaudhary, do you know singing too?

- I do. - Then sing something for us.

I don't know how to sing.

Come down here.

We are all sitting down here while you are sitting up there.

- Okay. - Come on.

- Here he comes. - There he comes.

Here comes Chaudhary.

- Wow! - Talk to me.

Cover your legs.

- Okay. - If Chaudhary bites you, you'll get boils.

Hello, I make decisions for the whole village.

Such Chaudharys cry before making a decision.

- Why? - Why?

I cannot do this.

Such Chaudharys cannot bend well.

They tell boys to milk the cattle.

If you are done making fun of me then let's get down to business.

- Go ahead. - We are joking around because we don't have any work tomorrow.

That's why I am saying this.

I have a job for one person in the morning.

Who would want to take it on?

You want to go?

- No. - Buta, you?

No, I have a labour job for tomorrow.

Fine, then I'll go with you.

If you don't wake up on time in the morning..

..then I shall put hot water on you.

I'll wake up, Mr. Chaudhary..

May God bless you with a long life. I hope you get up.

Shut up. Caution is necessary.

Jinder!

How about a selfie?

- You too join in, uncle. - Please come.

Smile!

- Very good. You look good. - Thank you.

Can I get a straw?

Your lipstick won't come off.

Drink it.

I thought no one would recognise me. I would get good money too.

So what if anyone recognises you?

You are working hard for it.

You won't believe it but when I first came to UK I have even dug graves.

Not for real, right?

For real.

It is not easy to pay fees.

Why did you have to take up tough courses?

You could have learnt embroidery or something.

Just because you're a boy you can do anything?

Tell me something, what will you do with all this money?

Do you have kids back in Punjab?

I'll have kids in UK.

British born.

- I want to marry here. - Why are you already betrothed?

I'm destined to.

"You never heard rain romancing the grounds, I think.."

"I think you have never heard the peacock sing."

"You have no clue how many times I sought your attention."

"You have no clue how many times I sought your attention."

"Flowers add fragrance our path.."

"Flowers add fragrance.."

What's with so much oil? Do you plan to fry fritters on my head?

Ouch!

Tell me something? What do you think about Jinder?

You are talking about the maestro! You're going in the right direction.

Bal, you know that my father is dead and my brother is younger than me.

Mother is always worried about me.

That's why I feel scared.

And it is justified to be feel scared.

Jinder is a nice boy.

He is hard working as well. But he isn't citizen.

That's not an issue. Not everyone who aren't a citizen are the same.

We too were not a citizens once.

If you have thought so much then why wait, go and talk to him.

We did 23 shifts, brother.

You must have.

But I can't pay you anything from my pocket if the company doesn't pay me.

We worked for three weeks, pay at least for one.

You know how difficult it to so survive out here.

Why just one, he has to pay for all three.

I won't even pay for a single shift. Do whatever you can.

I'd have taught you a lesson if my papers were in order.

Saw how he spoke to us?

He kept begging us to work for him.

It's okay.

It's not okay! My father took a loan to send me here.

Moneylenders are at our doorstep every day!

He never got cursed otherwise.

But he is being cursed now, because of me.

Here we have to beg for our own money.

We stay hungry, we work long shifts! Tell me, what are we doing wrong!

Tell me, what else should we do!

We work so hard!

And we don't even get the money we deserve!

You keep eating the same things every day.

Don't you get anything to eat at the restaurant?

I'm on a diet. I am going to get married in UK.

You don't need to diet for that, you only need to have a good face.

Then how did you manage to get married?

Because of my elders.

If you look this ugly, I am sure your elders look worse.

Pour only as much as you can eat.

Let's have tea.

Great.

- Looks like you scored big today. - Oh yes.

Come here, brother.. don't sit with a beggar.

What are you saying, brother? He's an artist.

Doesn't anyone give you notes?

Our department doesn't accept notes.

Breeze blows them away.

Why don't you buy some milk if you want to have it?

We need to spend money to get milk here, there is no cattle tied in the backyard!

I think he realised there is no milk.

They are always having milk.

Why don't you be considerate of others?

Everyone here wants to trouble us.

The employee doesn't pay and they here think they own everything.

We spend our money to get the milk and they consume it.

Clean up, work hard and get milk for them!

Learn to live property!

Gaffer didn't pay up.

He will be fine by evening.

You look ugly even when you are this close.

One cappuccino.

Maestro!

Don't say it in front of everyone.

What if everyone knows? I cannot just teach everyone!

- Anyway, what's up! - Sorry.

What bring you here today?

I was going to work.

So I thought I'll have some coffee before I leave.

Bal.. Make us one nice cup of coffee!

Why? Are you two going to share?

Don't make me whack you! Get the coffee!

Okay.

- Is it good? - Yes.

Jinder, may I ask something?

Are you going to spend your life like this..

..or have you thought something about your future?

I want to become a citizen at any cost.

I'll settle down with a girl who is a citizen.

What about you?

Same here.

I too am not a citizen.

It's okay, don't feel disheartened.

I know many boys.

I'll keep you in mind if I come across a nice boy who is a citizen.

You too might be coming across many girls.

Keep in mind and let me know if there is a girl who is a citizen.

I am even ready to pay.

Sure.

Okay then, I'm getting late for work.

- Bye. - Bye.

- Savy, may I say something? - Yes?

You are a very nice girl.

If I didn't have to become a citizen..

..then I would have married you for sure.

They sit idle. They don't do their work.

They have nothing to do.

They eat and leave. We don't have maids here.

One should do their own dishes.

What do you think you are here for?

I am here to do your dishes?

- What happened? - Look, you didn't need to interfere.

It was a small quarrel.

Billa, please wash them, it's not like you'll chip a nail.

This is a limit, why can't he wash them?

Fine, I'll wash them if I feel like next time.

You can wash your utensils whenever you feel like.

Hello! No violence.

These utensils belong to me.

Careful, Billa.

Do you know how he gathered these utensils?

Is it easy to stand under the sun?

Like you have come from a hill station!

That's why I am saying, caution is necessary.

Caution is fine, but we aren't here to do their dirty dishes.

Do your own dishes.

Leave them if you don't want to wash them.

Divide the utensils.

- This is fine. - Okay then.

Why stop at utensils, divide everything.

- That's fine too. - It will save us a lot of milk.

And don't turn the bathroom into a library.

The one who wants to write songs can write them outside.

Write them outside? But I don't hit the right notes outside.

- That's fine. - This is my vest.

Take it.

By the way, why are we getting separated?

I swear, I too don't know.

No!

What happened? Are they distributing something inside?

Do you have anything inside?

I'll go next.

One of yours followed by one of ours.

After you, two of ours can go.

This is a place where two cannot go together.

Great!

You are such a smart man.

If I weren't in a hurry, I would've rewarded you.

Mr. Chaudhary..

Say something.

Why aren't you drinking it? Just pour and have it.

He has marked it. Bloody miser!

Oh, I see.

We will have to get our own milk now.

How much longer will you take?

I need to make a few omelettes.

- It will take me some time. - Not a few.

You will make one then I'll make one.

Oh, I see.

This onion is made from stone, its tough to cut.

Take an onion like this..

And cut them like this.

- And cut it like this. - Okay.

- You are cutting big pieces. - I'm not talking to you.

Oh.

By the way, one can cook a meal in this much time.

- Uncle? - Yes?

- Don't put me on the roster today. - Why?

I'm going to sign.

Maybe they might deport me.

Can't you say something good instead?

They won't send you anywhere.

People like you are not needed there.

Everything else is fine, but just in case..

If father calls, tell him, I'm working.

Give me my boots at least.

They are new.

Who know whether or not you will come back.

Fine, pray for your shoes then.

And maybe I too will come back.

You will come back. Nothing is going to happen to you.

Bye.

What are you doing? Tea is ready.

I was about to call up Tavrej.

"God has given me such a fate!"

Who is calling me?

Hello? Who is it?

People address me as your father.

Greetings, father.

- Where are you? - At work.

- What work? - I am the prime minister of UK now.

The person you sent me to has got me working in a restaurant.

- I'm cleaning up. - Cleaning up? With what?

I'm mopping with a sword.

Damn you.

Do you want to insult me on purpose? You know what one uses to clean up.

We never know it with you.

You can clean anything with anything!

Fear God, father. What are you saying?

It's not Pakistan that police will show up after seven days.

They come within five minutes here.

They handcuff you and then hold you by the neck and load you into their car.

Fine, don't joke around. Now tell me are you wearing nice clothes to work?

Father, clothes don't get dirty over here.

Here you have to put a stain on purpose otherwise nothing catches stain.

Anyway, why are you asking about my clothes?

Kamran has found a girl for you.

Go and meet him immediately.

Don't worry, father. You have given birth to a Spiderman.

I'll be before Kamran as soon as you hang up.

I wonder what kind of a girl has Kamran found me.

Date of birth?

24th August 1987.

- Greetings, uncle. - Greetings.

Who is this miss?

She is a citizen here.

- The one you found for me? - Yes.

I would have agreed even if she wasn't a citizen.

- Where did you find this angel? - From Poland.

You two will need to get married to get the papers in order.

She should just agree to marry me.

I already feel like a citizen.

- How are you? - Hello! She doesn't know Urdu.

Uncle, no language is a barrier for love.

Her eyes say, "Tavrej, take me away! I am in need!"

"Tavrej, take me away! I am in need!"

Keep your hands away, she is indeed in need.

She wanted 15, I confirmed it at 12.

- Really? - Yes.

No problem, I'll talk to father right away.

- Fine, talk to him. - Okay.

- Father praises you a lot. - Really?

You can hear him now.

- Hello! - Greetings, father.

You can greet me later, first tell me did you talk to that donkey?

Who donkey, father?

The donkey you were going to meet at Kamran's..

Hold on, father.

What are you doing, father! She is right in front of me.

Father is praising you.

Now tell him that now it will be 15 for the praises he just said.

Father, one word by you has increase the price by 3000.

The way you curse, I think you will have to spend 40 to get a daughter-in-law.

I want to talk to him.

Yes. You should be cautious, father.

He wants to talk to you.

Hello?

You know that Chaudhary Wasim has a lot of money.

I'll transfer as much as you want into your account whenever you say.

But remember one thing.

My son should become a legal citizen there.

Okay, fine. Don't worry, go do your job and I'll handle this.

Okay, bye.

I spoke to him.

- Is it done? - It is done.

- The deal is done? - Done.

- So does this mean she is mine? - Yes, she is.

The deal is done. It's absolutely done!

How are you, neighbours?

Get me a coffee from your staff's quota.

Stopped offering staff coffee.

Oh really?

Is it only for me or are you too starving?

Maestro!

God bless you! May your poems get published.

Did you find a citizen for yourself?

You told her too?

Good, now both of you look for one for me.

I anyway don't realise who is or isn't a citizen.

- Did you close the till, it's four o'clock. - Yes.

It's four o'clock?

Hello uncle, did my shoes return?

Okay.

Looks like you are shopping for the wedding.

No, Billa has gone to sign.

He has worn my shoes.

See you then. Okay, bye. I'll go find out.

He is no maestro, he's worried about his shoes.

He isn't worried about his shoes. He is worried about Billa.

- Billa? - Billa isn't home as yet?

You are sitting back here? I've been looking for you inside.

There comes that idiot!

So.. what did the cops ask?

Nothing, uncle. They kept me waiting at first.

Then they made me sign and sent me away.

A lot of Indians are over there.

- Uncle, I met a boy from your village. - Is it?

Everyone remembers their own number.

You could have borrowed someone's phone and inform us.

What happened, brother?

Are you alright?

Wash my shoes.

I want to wear them day after tomorrow.

I'll wash them.

Also wash your jacket.

It was last washed in Punjab, I think.

- Do you want some tea? - Make it.

Did Buta drink all the milk?

He cannot be trusted, uncle.

Your father has a great network out here.

He found you a girl in just one week!

Right!

People have been living here for 15 years.

They keep dyeing their beard. But they didn't become a citizen.

Uncle, he is talking about you.

Wait.

Karnail, didn't you say there is a girl who'd marry for 15,000?

Find me two at the rate of 10,000 each.

Yes, we will get both the boys citizenship.

- Buta! - Yes.

Don't you think you're paying too much for sister-in-law?

We will pay in instalments.

I have a friend.

All the songs written by him have been superhit.

I have also come across such lyricists who have written so many songs..

..but yet haven't been able to release a single song.

There are still people here who came years ago..

..but they still stand at the juncture like a electrocuted rat.

- Who is he calling a rat? - You are the rat among us.

- He is calling me a rat? - You stand at the juncture.

There was a drummer in our village he plays amazingly, no repeats.

And here there are people playing the same beat since 15 years.

They don't know anything else.

I can beat everything..

But I don't remember where I kept my sticks.

It must be here somewhere, uncle. Check on the bed.

Is he calling me a stick now?

Among us, you are the one who looks like a stick.

- Is he calling me a stick? - You are the one on the bed.

Some people here claim to have ice factories..

..for all we know his father sells ice candies on the streets.

Did you see an icicle?

That too is on the bed I think.

I swear, he means you.

- He is saying it to me? - Yes.

Some people keep making fun of an innocent person.

There are some other brainless beasts here as well.

- Like him. - Shut up.

Then they say Buta curses.

Did you have to divert their attention towards me?

Shut up and go to sleep. You have nothing else to do.

You will wake up and leave for work.

I will have to work hard to stay idle the whole day.

Who is it? Oh!

In our village..

..people go to bed early..

How much advance did the Marriage Palace owner take? - 50?

- And three for the jeweller. - Fine, okay. Yes.

Ask Balli to make me talk to them over the phone, okay?

Fine.

Yes. I have spoken to Shaunki.

We will pay for the clothes after the wedding. Okay?

And make sure one of our men supervise the cooks.

They will otherwise cut corners.

Fine.

I've cooked the meals.

Billa, laundry my clothes as well. Okay?

Yes. Let me talk to the cook.

It's not like we have never had a wedding at home.

And listen, have you given invites to all the relatives?

I don't anyone getting upset.

Fine, I'll talk to you later. I'm going to work now.

Okay, fine, talk to you later. - Okay.

No, just take care of mother.

Everything else is fine. Don't worry.

She is surviving solely because of the medicines now.

Spend some more money.

Okay, okay..

We need to go to the doctor again next week.

- No, don't worry at all. - Buta!

Okay.

- Is the washing machine busy? - No, I have tied cattle around it.

I have put clothes on wash. I am standing right here. Can't you see?

- How much time will it take? - Some time.

Around 5-7 hours.

Let's go. We will do it once we come back.

The rest of it.. when the guests come over..

..make sure that they are well looked after and that nothing is amiss. Okay?

Not every father is destined to have a daughter.

I had prayed for one.

And I couldn't even attend her wedding.

"Happiness and problems are in his hands."

"He gives what he wishes. You keep on moving but all is in the hands of God."

"If you believe in God then you never feel dejected."

"You need to stay where God has destined you to. "

"You need to stay where God has destined you to. "

Savy, where is Jinder these days?

I don't know.

He wanted to become a citizen, right?

He might want to. I don't care.

I know a girl.

She said she would take money and make Jinder a citizen.

Why do we need to make him a citizen?

But you had said he is a good man.

If he comes a citizen then he can do something for himself.

You don't want to marry him.

So someone else will, right?

Here, call him up.

Do it.

What time does the girl want to meet him?

Five o'clock.

He's not idle. He's always at work.

I don't think he will come.

Atleast call him up.

- Hello? - Where are you?

In the office, I just need to send a few emails.

Are you sending the emails or slicing them. Switch off the saw.

- Tell me. - You wanted to become a citizen, right?

What do you mean by wanted? I still want to.

There is a girl. She will take money to make you a citizen.

Will you pay her?

Yes, yes, yes, sounds good.

Can you come at my work place at five today?

At five?

Don't you think it's too late? Shall we meet at half past four instead?

- Fine. Okay, bye. See you. - Bye.

What does he say? He cannot make it?

He's coming at half past four.

He wants to become a citizen, not raise a family!

Boys agree to it.

I know Jinder. He won't.

He'll say no immediately. And he will scold us too.

You can hear your maestro curse.

How are you? How do I look?

Should I keep the jacket on or take it off?

No. Keep it on.

Where is she?

There..

The kid?

It's hers.

You had to embarrass us.

Hello. I'm Jinder.

She must have told you about me.

Your baby?

- What's his name? - Avi.

Avi!

It's okay. Consider it done.

What's up!

She is okay, give her 15,000 pounds.

Five as advance and ten later.

15,000 is a lot. Can you bring it down?

Look, I am here to stay. I am not going to leave you after the wedding.

It's okay, let it be, if you think it is too much. She isn't an idler either.

- She is a busy woman. - No, no, no.

Consider it done. Finalise it.

Just take a little more time. I will take it. don't worry.

- Hello? - Greetings.

Hello, sister-in-law.

Buta has gone to the washroom.

Brother, ask him to send money home somehow.

Mother is not well.

Yes, I'll tell him.

Sister-in-law has called, talk to her.

My wife? Why did you answer it?

- It kept on ringing, so I answered it. - Just because it was ringing?

Don't you know you are not supposed to answer anyone's personal phone?

- So what if I answered it? - Yes, so what happened!

Your elders didn't teach you any sense?

They gave you a visa instead.

Why did you answer a call from my house?

Then they say that Buta curses.

Buta, don't make me curse you.

Call back. It's urgent.

What happened? Did you have a nightmare?

Shut up!

I was going to get married in my dreams.

- I woke up because of you. - Go back to sleep!

Okay.

Hello?

- Greetings. - Greetings.

Why did you need to talk when a stranger answered the phone?

You don't call for two days at a stretch.

We would be facing an emergency at home.

- Is mother alright? - How does it concern you?

Like you called and enquired about her health.

How do I call?

I can only call when I get a job and start making some money.

Whenever I call, I start getting worried.

When you tell me everything.

Doctor said that we need to get mother operated as soon as possible.

How much money will it require?

I don't know.

I'll do something.

I hope you don't once again resort to not calling home for two days.

I'll do something soon.

Shall I make a video call?

You will get to see mother.

No. I cannot make a video call.

I cannot sleep when I look at mother.

Goodbye.

I seek your blessings, maestro.

Where's your friend? She's not taking my calls.

- She is right here. - Can I talk to her?

Sure.

Hey.. maestro is calling.

I'm busy.

Who knows he too might be sad like you are.

At least talk to him.

Who says that I am sad? I didn't meet him.

Who knows, maybe he wants to meet you.

Boys are slow. Atleast talk to him.

- Hello? - Can we meet?

Tell me over the phone itself.

No, I want to meet you.

Okay.

Okay.

What does he say?

He wants to meet.

Yes! I told you, he wants to meet you.

Now you get dressed like a beautiful girl.

Don't go like this.

Why should I dress up? I'll go like this only.

Maestro.

Coming.

I'll be right back. Handle this.

- How are you? - Good. How about you?

You are working here?

Yes, I saw an empty plot.

I thought I should make homes and sell them as I have nothing else to do.

Careful, don't end up selling the whole of UK.

Spare some land for the Queen as well.

I will, if you take the guarantee.

What did you want to talk about?

I don't know how to say it.

You keep talking non-stop otherwise. Now you don't know how to say it?

Tell me, what is it?

I need 2000 pounds.

I need to give money to that girl and take things forward. She is waiting for it.

You wanted to meet me in order to borrow money?

Yes.

- That's why you called me? - Yes.

You know people don't take your calls after you ask them for money.

I thought of talking to you face to face..

..you will at least feel ashamed to refuse me.

You should feel ashamed.

You are asking money from me to pay that auntie!

Hey hello, don't call her auntie!

I don't have money because I helped a friend.

Otherwise, I had arranged for the money.

That poor woman is waiting for my money.

Let's give her the money and end this.

Unbelievable.

"Come on, my son. come on."

I think I asked for too much.

Why are you doing the cooking?

Where's our chef?

Uncle has gone out for some work.

- Did you send the money? - Yes, I did.

How are you, Buta? How's it going on?

He's been going on since quite some time.

This is all he can do, it's not like he works in a bank.

Like you are coming here straight from your TESCO shop..

..after settling its accounts, right?

No, I am yet to settle TESCO's accounts.

I saw a person there.

He looked like a thief?

Mind your language! Then don't say that I didn't warn you.

What did he tell you? Did he hit your head with a stick?

Let him do it. Let him hit me with a stick.

I want someone to hit me so that my head can break open.

Then why don't you hit your head on a wall? Why are you bothering us?

But be careful, don't spill any blood on the wall.

Caution is necessary.

Where's the lunch?

It's kept over there, there is some leftover lentils in that as well..

Jinder is so eager to become a citizen.

He was asking money to give an advance to that girl.

Who?

Your maestro. Who else?

It is good that I didn't fall for him.

He would've gotten married to me, become a citizen and then left me.

It's okay. Take a shower.

- I'll serve dinner for you. - I realised at the right time.

Actually, it's good.

Is this your diary?

No.

Nindo.

Looks like a girl's personal diary.

Must be some old tenant's.

This is Jinder's photo.

Your Jinder!

7838821..

I came to UK from Jalandhar on a student visa but..

'..but I couldn't manage to pay the fees for the third semester..'

'..so I couldn't neither go back to the university nor go back to Punjab.'

'My friend Ruby used to work at a grocery store.'

'She got me a job there.'

'Ruby was born and brought up in UK.'

'Whenever I used to fumble in English while dealing with the clients..'

'.. she would handle it.'

'But there was one person we both couldn't handle.'

'And that person is Jinder.'

'Jinder used to work there..'

'..but even the owner addressed him with respect.'

'He is a boy with a very carefree..'

'..devil-may-care attitude who used to always stay happy.'

'Ruby used to like him but she was stay to approach him.'

'One day I told him that Ruby wants to marry you.'

Obviously he will say yes. He is too eager to become a citizen.

Read on, it's quite interesting.

Go on.

'Even Ruby was surprised by what he said.'

'Jinder refused to marry Ruby.'

'And proposed marriage to me instead.'

'What would he gain by marrying me?'

'I wasn't even a citizen. In fact my visa too was about to expire.'

'His career would have been made if he had married Ruby.'

'But when Jinder said that I don't want to get married to become a citizen..'

'..and he also said that you are lucky that it was love at first sight for me.'

'Jinder has never been in love before.'

'I too am Punjabi after all.'

'I told him that just because I am not living with me family..'

'..it doesn't mean that I don't respect them anymore.'

'I will marry the boy of my parents' choice.'

'He heard that and left.'

'Ruby too said that I am lucky..'

'..because he wants to marry me instead of her.'

'I didn't give her a reply.'

'And I came home. Next morning, I got a call from my father.'

'He told me that Jinder's parents had come..'

'.. to our house with his marriage proposal.'

'They liked his family, and I should let them know whether I like him as well.'

'Then they would say yes to them.'

'I said yes. We started preparing for the wedding.'

'He kept calling and asking whether or not I am ready.'

"Why should I leave?"

'I told him to reach with the guests, I'm coming with Ruby.'

'That day Jinder kept waiting for me, but I couldn't go there.'

Bal, there's nothing else written in this.

If Jinder was such a nice boy then why didn't that crazy girl Nindo come back?

Maybe she didn't write it in the diary. Maybe she got married.

If they were married then why would he want to marry a citizen?

Moreover, he could have married Ruby at the first place.

Now only Nindo can tell us that. Or Jinder.

Let me call up Jinder.

When he hasn't already told you..

..do you think he will tell you everything over the phone?

You should meet him and talk to him.

What are you doing, father?

I have work to do.

I need to make preparations for the wedding.

I am getting married tonight.

Yes. Hello brother, where are you going?

To work.

I am getting married today. Who will give the gifts.

Let the who looks like a scraper will give the gifts.

- Is he calling me a scraper? - Yes.

Anyway, it's his wedding today, you are forgiven.

- Fine, okay, bye. - Jinder!

You are wearing my shoes.

Going to sign again?

They are lucky for me.

Maybe I'll come back because of them.

Uncle, make dinner for me.

Stupid! We have a wedding taking place in a house.

We won't be cooking anything today.

We haven't cooked as much as you seem prepared to hog.

Why not?

Who knows whether or not you'll ever get married for real.

We should at least feast on this fake one.

- Mr. Chaudhary? - Yes?

Damn you.

Fine, okay, bye.

- See you. - Bye. See you.

- Date of birth? - 31st March 1994..

Balwinder Singh from Taran Taaran?

Yes.

John, can you come and pick up Balwinder Singh?

Take him into custody.

Oh God! Oh God! Oh God, please! Please save me this time!

Please save me this time, God! I don't want to go back.

Please save me this time, God! Please God!

I told you, Buta is not a nice man.

He'll get us into trouble.

Otherwise they would never get hold of the copies of our passports.

Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! Please save me this time, God!

I don't want to go back. Please God! Please God! Oh God!

- Greetings. - Greetings.

Mother is much better now.

I got her admitted in the morning.

Thank God.

And the money?

The money you sent in the morning was enough.

That brother from India is very nice.

He said I should let him know if I need more money.

He will send it across.

May God give him a long life.

People already say that they cannot get along.

They have separated.

If a partition could separate people..

..then you wouldn't need God to separate the soul from the body.

You fool, world awaits for an opportunity for us to make a mistake..

..so that they can talk against us.

You have broken our heart by giving them this opportunity.

We wanted to stay together.

But there are some people who don't want us together.

Today you have made them win.

Then you say that Buta gets cursed.

Jinder, my father will die if I go back.

You don't know how much money will owe others.

Oh God! Oh God, please! I don't want to go back. Oh God!

Please save us, God! No! I don't want to go back.

I don't want to go back!

Jinder, you know we are here because of our need.

It's not like we love work in shifts. Jinder, please save me.

Save me, please.

I don't want to go back!

Balwinder Singh!

You have a visitor. Your fiance is here.

My shoes are indeed quite lucky for you.

Balwinder..

Your signature. Same here.

Please do something.

Sir please, get Jinder out. Anyhow, please.

It is difficult to get him.

You are lucky that you have a fiancée.

That's why you are here.

Thank you.

Forget thank you, tell me where is Nindo.

Who is Nindo?

I have Nindo's diary. I have read it.

Where is Nindo?

You found that diary now?

Found that diary now? What do you mean?

I threw it there when you had just moved into our neighbourhood.

'Do you only spy on us or everybody in the locality?'

But when I learnt that you aren't a citizen I prayed to God..

..that you shouldn't ever find the diary.

So all those stories about Nindo are a lie?

- Yes. - So you aren't married?

No. No!

You were trying to fool me with a false story?

My story might be a lie but my love for you is true.

And when did you fall in love with me? You never told me.

I too realised it quite late.

You could have told me when you realised.

By the time I learnt that I love you, I also learnt that you are a citizen.

That means you just realised that you love me?

I feel like getting you arrested again!

Anyway, I got you bailed out.

I have all the papers.

Enjoy today's wedding. I'll see you later.

Bloody lyricist.

- Oh bless you, brother. - How are you, uncle?

- Sorry. - Good?

It's okay.

Brother, how do I thank you enough?

What's the use of such things now?

There is nothing left to give or take now.

If you want to thank someone then thank him.

He has been begging me since morning.

Buta, my brother.. thank you.

You forgave me..

..and thus saved me from being a culprit of both Punjabs.

We were getting separated because of my mistake.

It is not difficult to separate the Punjabis.

Instigate us and we are ready with our sticks.

But the day these sticks get together it will be Punjab from Delhi to Kyber.

Damn you, this isn't a funeral.

Chaudhary, along with 1000, we want another 500 bricks.

500 bricks? You want to build a grave?

Get lost!

Excuse me. Sit over there.

Sit over there. I'll handle you two later. Sit down.

Mr. Chaudhary, are you going to sell your mobile phone?

- Hello? - Greetings, father.

Bless you.

Listen to me.. Are you offering them a free meal?

- Yes, I am. - You have made us suffer another loss.

- What happened? - Listen to me, father..

- ..take the gifts from all the guests. - What?

Take the gifts!

What happened?

What happened was that a brother from India's Punjab..

..who was about to get deported..

..so I gave your daughter-in-law to him.

Did you take the money?

Father, it is not right for me to ask for money. I address him as brother.

God bless you, my son.

If you had taken money from it then I would have broken your bones.

I thought only a few elders of this side of Punjab..

..still feel the same pull.

But the sacrifice you made today made me realise..

..that the same pull is still running in our veins.

Okay, father.

Okay. Father, listen.

The gifts!

Damn you! It's raining cats and dogs here. Half the guests didn't show up.

Buta, you have a good heart. But you look like a thief.

Thank you, Mr. Chaudhary.

Billa, she got you out and she can get you back inside.

Caution is necessary.

- Buta! - Yes?

Damn you. - Same to you.

- Nikki, how's the tea? - Lovely, brilliant, man!
