Original subtitles

Sayali, you shouldn't bring just the cup.

Get the saucer as well.

Oh, yes...

This is our Sayali.

She is not only beautiful but talented as well.

And liberal thoughts.

And the beauty queen contest in college...

Sayali won that as well.

She had a lot of modelling offers.

Yes, but she is interested in her job.

In spite of all this she has chosen 'arranged marriage'.

That reflects the culture of our Chaudhary family.

But she has one condition.

Our Sayali wants to live independently; only with her husband.

Is it?

Independent?

Cup & Saucer

[Inaudible]

Jitu...

No luck today either?

I have lost all hope.

Even the 'pohe' here are tasteless.

What was the reason today?

What didn't match? The mole, zodiac sign or 'constellation'?

A fourth reason!

Aruna...

You just got up and left.

You shouldn't have.

All three conditions laid down by your Acharya Alaukik...

Were being fulfilled.

Did you hear what her mother said?

What?

The girl doesn't want the husband's family.

Aruna Sister these days girls don't want to live with her husband's family.

Even those who are very particular about the husband's family...

Move out of the family house in 6 months.

Don't delay your son's marriage for this trivial condition.

Bro, get me a plate of poha. -Okay.

Aunty, girls these days, live separately after marriage.

That is after marriage.

Bro, cancel the 'pohe'. -Why?

I don't think I'll get married in this lifetime.

You will, my child.

But how? -You will. Trust me. Have it.

Enough. -Have some.

Listen to me... Matches are made in heaven.

Aruna, what is the problem in heaven? Why don't you go there and check it out?

Dad, marriages are made in heaven.

I have been listening to this for the past 5 years.

Aren't you worried that I am getting older.

I am fed up now.

We are fed up as well.

"Beware!"

"Step up!"

"Step up... Hurry up..."

"Lest the wedding season pass us by..."

"Let us come together in this search of a bride..."."

"Let the wedding bells ring..."

"Shubh Mangal Savdhan...!"

"The search for a bride..."

"The search for a bride... The search for a daughter-in-law..."

"Find that girl..."

"Mom, find me that girl..."

"The search for a bride..."

"The boy is getting older by the day..."

"The father's sandals have worn thin..."

"The girls conditions are so childish..."

"Mom, find me that girl..."

"The search for a bride..."

"Shubh Mangal Savdhan...!"

"The boy's age..."

"The boy's age- 34..."

"The girl's conditions - 35..."

"Matching factors- 36...!"

"The search for a bride..."

[Doorbell rings]

"I want a doctor husband..."

"I want a CA husband..."

"I want a doctor husband... I want a CA husband..."

"Expectations are sky high..."

"Just wow..."

"I want a 2BHK flat..."

"Brand new..."

"That is an absolute must-have..."

The search for a bride... The search for a daughter-in-law..."

"Find me a bride..."

"Mom, find me that girl..."

"Shubh Mangal Savdhan...!"

"Mom, find me that girl..."

"Shubh Mangal Savdhan...!"

"Mom, find me that girl..."

"A boy from Kokan? No way..."

"A boy from Vidarbha... not at all..."

"Mumbai- Pune are the places to be..."

"Khandesh is a burning furnace..."

"US... UK..."

"US... UK... That's what I want..."

"The search for a bride..."

"No mother-in-law or father-in-law..."

No sisters-in-law..."

"You'll cook all the meals And both of us will happily eat..."

"The search for a bride..."

"Shubh Mangal Savdhan...!"

[Music]

"No child for three years..."

"Let's go travelling every weekend..."

"Motherhood kills romance..."

We're modern girls we don't adjust..."

We're in no hurry to get married..."

"The search for a bride..."

"The search for a bride..."

"The search for a daughter-in-law..."

"Mom, find me that girl..."

"Shubh Mangal Savdhan...!"

We're getting married!

I am proud to tell you.

That even at the age of 56, you can get married.

Thanks to our matchmaking society.

Applause.

Look at that.

Great.

They're getting married. -Great.

I guess I will be married by the time I get dentures.

Yes, you will.

Everyone has their own destiny.

Who knows?

Don't do that.

Look.

God had written her in my destiny.

I'll be right back.

[Laughs] - Hello.

Aunty, I think...

Uncle's destiny was written so thoroughly...

They ran out of ink for him.

[Laughs]

Namaste

I am Bhosle.

Sudesh Bhosle

I'm Aruna.

What are your expectations?

Not much.

The horoscopes must match.

And... must be sensible.

That's perfect.

My birthdate is 21st December, 1960.

Once I know yours, I'll check whether the horoscopes match.

I am looking for a bride for my son.

So what?

Once we get married, we will get them married too.

Husband on Monday and father-in-law on Tuesday.

Right?

Nonsense.

Mr. father-in-law, what am I supposed to do in all this?

I have already called dibs on her.

What kind of language is this?

Stop it.

Keep your dibs to yourself.

You see this 'mangalsutra'?

I have made it for her 35 years ago.

Got it?

Aruna, let's go.

Jitu, let's go.

Jitya.

Damn...

You are so unlucky.

We can't find a single match for you.

While it's raining men for Aunty!

Sulochana!

Did you think it over?

Aruna...Put that phone away.

Let's go and sleep peacefully.

You sleep peacefully.

Don't take any efforts for your son's marriage.

How is that going to help in any case?

Is something wrong with our Jitu?

No...

The only obstacle here...

Is your list of conditions.

Her zodiac sign has to be Aquarius.

She must be born under the 'purva bhadrapada nakshatra'.

And the biggest one...

Your 'Tritil yog'.

The girl must have three moles on her body...

In the shape of a triangle!

Two on the face and one on... -Enough.

I am not his enemy.

I am his mother.

You only see the conditions that I have put.

But you don't want to look at the reasons behind those conditions.

If he marries a girl of the Aquarius sign and 'Tritil yog'...

Jitu is going to flourish.

[Radio static]

Mom, Dad... don't fight because of me.

It's 9 o'clock and your Gupshup Queen is here.

Superhits 93.5 Red FM.

Bajate Raho...!

Knock, knock.

Can you hear me?

Here she is. -I am here.

Turn up the volume.

Your favourite...

Gupshup Queen.

So welcome to my...

Our show, 'Natyancha Funda' with Gupshup Queen.

You see...

We are always chasing something in life.

But we don't always get it.

When all hope is lost...

And in such a moment of gloom...

'Chhoo Mantar'

And once again we begin to chase our dreams and...

Dream new dreams.

Guys, life has become so stressful these days.

Correct. -Stress makes you lose sleep.

Oh my God.

And when you can't sleep at night...

There comes mother.

She just adjusts the blanket on you...

Gently caresses your hair and...

And then you sleep like a baby.

Just like that...

Chhoo Mantar...

[Laughs]

Let's continue the show with this energy.

And the next important segment is...

'Let's write a poem'.

In this segment, I will tell you the three lines of the poem.

And fourth line of this poem?

You have to call me and tell me.

Here's today's poem.

Listen carefully.

The path of life is difficult.

But there is greenery all around.

Sometimes it is strewn with stones...

At others it is in full bloom.

Weave together joy and sorrow...

Make beautiful every morrow...

Dash Dash Dash Dash Dash Dash

You finish the rest.

Aruna, think of a line.

Weave together joy and sorrow... Make beautiful every morrow...

Tiny little compromises...

Weave in happiness galore...

Wow!

And we have our first call.

Let's see who it is.

Hello!

Gupshup Queen? -Yes...!

Hello, I am Sandhya Bhambare speaking.

Hello, Sandhya ji.

Come on, complete your poem.

Don't give a damn to this world.

You build your own life and world.

Isn't it nice?

[Laughs]

Wow! Sandhya ji, not bad.

Congratulations!

You have won a voucher of 5000 rupees from Kalamandir Sarees.

Congratulations!

Wow!

Yeah!

Thank you!

Sandhya ji's poem was good.

But as for me, I'd say...

Adjustment is not so bad...

Nurture your bonds.

Something like that.

It would have been so much fun.

Look, Aruna.

Your lines were definitely better than that Sandhya Bhamre.

You should have called her.

Never mind.

Aruna, why do you like her voice so much?

I don't know.

But it feels like she is my daughter...

Pouring her heart out to me.

And both of you think alike.

I guess so.

But friends, let me tell you something.

Nowadays, our generation whom we call...

Gen-Z

We are used to being alone.

Being alone without any strings attached...

Seems peaceful for a while.

But definitely not for a long time.

Anyway, let's move on.

Let's listen to a new poem.

But after a short break.

Till then, 'Chhoo...'

Mantar!

Ajoba...

Wait a minute.

Ajoba...

Please wait...

Such a sweet girl.

I want a girl like her for a daughter-in-law.

Girl?

Where?

Where is the girl?

Aruna, you have crossed the limit.

You're looking for girls on the street.

Don't defend the young generation.

You were all alone trying to cross the road.

No one helped you.

Tell me...

Don't they see their grandparents in you?

Tell me. Tell me...

Don't tell me anything about this young generation.

Idiot!

Stupid

Useless

Call this young generation useless.

I don't know where this world is going. -To hell.

I wanted to go that side.

You dragged me here.

Where are you taking me?

Get lost!

Let me take you back.

Get lost! -Listen to me.

Sorry!

Sorry! -Madam, watch out.

Where is the world going?

Look where you are going.

[Cell phone rings]

Yes, mother?

Amruta, where are you?

You know they are coming to see you.

Oh no...

Oh no?

Did you forget?

How did you forget the meet up? You want to get married, don't you?

No, I haven't forgotten.

I am on the way.

Come soon.

What is your name?

Amruta.

What have you studied?

I have graduated in mass media.

Wow!

Did you like our Jitendra?

Yes.

Great.

But I have one condition.

Tell us.

What is it?

Rickshaw!

Listen. -The times have changed.

They have a never-ending list of conditions.

Mrs. Samudre, she has only one condition.

Yes, that's what I was saying.

The other girls' list of conditions is better ...

Your daughter's one condition is worse. -I know.

Rickshaw! -Correct.

You know, right?

Then go and explain it to her..

This is such a weird condition.

Mom, but the girl is nice.

Really? -Yes.

Gone.

Even this 18th suitor...

Gone.

Amruta.

Hey!

Saudamini...

Count properly.

You said the last one was 18th.

Wow!

Nice.

You think this is a joke?

What kind of a father are you?

The younger sister got married on time.

She's already on her way to be a mother. - [Laughs]

And the elder one?

She is still unmarried, sitting at home.

Vinod?

Sitting at home?

I have a job.

I mean... -Then what should I do?

Sing praises of you?

[Laughs]

Mrs. Samudre is gone.

In a rickshaw.

She even got the rickshaw so quickly.

Saudamini...

We've just told her our condition.

She will figure it out.

Till today.

Has anyone come back once they find out about her condition?

You always... -Good shot!

What a shot! -Vinu!

Saudamini, it's okay if they don't come back.

But my daughter will only marry into a household that accepts her condition.

You have pampered her.

Pampered?

Just a minute.

Just because I agree with her doesn't mean I am pampering her.

Every time... -And listen.

I don't have outrageous expectations for Amruta's future husband.

Did I ask a single question when Disha got married?

We met...

We fell in love.

We waited for Amruta to get married.

In the end, we just got married.

With your blessings.

Without asking too many questions.

I did not ask you questions because I had full faith in my daughter.

Saudamini,

You think Amruta's condition is strange.

But she too has thought it through.

I am fine with that.

Who is going to ever accept her strange condition?

She is right.

What?

Sister, tell me.

Who will accept your strange condition?

There must be someone.

Who can understand...

My feelings.

[Crying] -Sister, don't cry.

You'll run out of tissues.

This is ridiculous.

Shashikant Bhuaji...

Sister has been crying for over an hour.

Have this.

Jitu sent a photo of her crying on our family group...

And I was so distraught.

Just like birds in a wildfire...

I was lost in the whirlpool of thoughts.

That is why we came here as soon as we could.

What do you mean?

She is stressed. That's all she means.

Aunty, don't cry.

Jitu will get married soon.

Yeah right.

She has built this mountain of conditions...

Under the weight of this mountain....

Jitu will remain unmarried.

Unmarried and old.

Sister...

The biggest problem is...

'Tritil yoga.'

Two on the face.

And one right here...

Dad, Uncle, I haven't married yet thanks to Jitu Dada.

Wait a minute.

Kiran Aunty...

You get him married.

At least someone in the family will have a wedding.

At the right age.

[Crying]

What a weird family I have.

Dada, the poor boy is fed up.

You think he will actually get married?

Sister, you've gone through all the tissues.

But the issue still remains.

If the issue has to be resolved...

Go to Acharya Alaukik.

Ask him...

When will Jitu be married?

[Doorbell rings]

Greetings.

At my door...

Stands the mother, Aruna.

Her face sullen.

Her eyes void of hope?

A mother's dream remains unfulfilled.

While Jitu remains unmarried.

Isn't it?

I guessed it, didn't I?

That's not enough Acharya Alaukik.

Find me a solution.

What did you tell me?

He will be married before he turns 30.

He is almost 34 now and still not married.

It will happen.

Your prayers will be answered.

Destiny will play its hand.

Never mind.

Hold the ears...

Tilt the neck...

Bow down...

And you'll find the answer.

Acharya Alaukik...

Like a comet...

The daughter-in-law has passed...

In prose.

Acharya, say that in prose.

In this past week...

Your daughter-in-law crossed your path.

She passed by your side. But you did not realise.

Oh dear.

Now?

Look for it...

Tell me...

Coming...

Week...

Will be extraordinary.

You will get a chance to see your future daughter-in-law.

It will be a meeting like never before.

That celestial nymph...

The nightingale...

The moment you see her...

A fierce wind will pick up.

Lightening will light up the sky.

You'll experience rainfall like never before.

You will meet each other under extraordinary circumstances.

Your daughter-in-law will be right in front of you.

Understood?

Yes, I understand.

So, my daughter-in-law is somewhere close to me.

Once I find her...

That will be the beginning of Jitu's married life.

[Engine stalling]

Do you need 'tochan'?

What?

I mean, you sit on your scooter.

I will put my leg on you.

What? -Yes.

Oh no... I mean...

You are mistaken.

Sorry, sorry.

'Tochan...'

I mean, you sit on your scooter.

Your silencer...

I will put my feet on your scooter's silencer.

Like in the movies.

They push the bike like this and straight to the petrol pump.

I understood.

There is petrol in the scooter.

Enough petrol? -Yes.

Carburettor?

The carburettor is clogged.

Wow.

Isn't it great?

My scooter broke down right in front of a mechanic.

I am not a mechanic.

[Laughs]

I am just kidding.

Let's go.

'Tochan'!

Yes, let's go.

Hey.

That's mine.

[Laughs]

I'm loving this.

What?

'Tochan'

How far?

I am going to turn left at the next chowk.

Yes.

Then you'll have to... -Cool. I too have to go left.

Really?

I am also going to the left.

I am going to Sanai Chaughade Mangal Karyalay.

Super.

I'm going there as well.

That's great.

Are you going to the match making meet up? -Correct.

That means we're both on the same path!

And the destinations too.

Boy #26

Mandar Hornekar.

32 years old.

Well built.

He is an apprentice in the telephone department.

He will be on permanent payroll in a year and a half.

He is the only son.

Is there a girl for him?

Raise your hand.

Gosh...

Are there any hands left in this country?

Boy #27

Uday Jagdale.

Oh dear.

This boy is still here?

His parents live in Kokan.

God knows when he'll be married.

Boy #29.

This is so sad.

Marriage is a happy union of souls.

They've turned it into a marketplace.

Aunty, difficult times indeed.

I'll be right back.

He is absolutely right.

The situation is really difficult.

I tell you. -Don't tell her.

Tell me.

Tell me the name.

Amruta.

And you?

Hi, I am Jitu.

Hi.

Jitendra Karekar.

Okay.

What is your zodiac sign?

Trying to find a bride right here?

No.

[Laughs]

I almost thought you were different than the rest but you too are quite typical.

Really?

But I just asked casually.

There you are.

The typical step number 2.

She is a girl.

She is not yet married.

How can she be called a bride?

A girl's mother has to be hopeful.

As for a boy's mother...

A girl's family is averse to the boy's mother.

Dustbin!

That is what the boy's parents are called these days.

Really?

'The groom's family' is a thing of the past.

Surname?

Paradkar.

Groom's family?

Is the boy here?

Not yet.

He will be here soon.

You are the bride's family?

Blood type?

Wait. -O positive.

Is the girl here?

Not yet.

She said she will be here.

Hope she shows up.

Baokar.

Your son is about to be married and you're still a dimwit?

[Laughs]

Baokar.

I will hang up.

It is terribly hot here.

Please turn on the AC.

They're going to break into a sweat after the wedding.

Better get used to it.

[Laughs]

Baokar.

We will organize your stand-up comedy gig later.

Turn on the generator first.

Prakash.

Check the lights.

The guy who fixes the light is...?

Prakash!

My God!

[Laughs]

Tell me.

How do I look?

Look here.

Awesome.

Will I find 'the girl' today?

Sister-in-law

Any luck?

No.

This is so difficult.

Oh dear...

Sudesh Bhosle?

Aruna!

Take it quickly.

Oh, master.

Aruna.

Aruna.

My husband told me...

O God! Sudesh Bhosle! -Saudamini.

Saudamini, listen... -Oh, God!

But... -This man is too much.

Aruna.

Aruna.

[Lights flickering]

[Acharya] 'Fierce wind.'

'Lightening.'

'Magical rain'

Mom...

How do you always read my mind?

Thank you.

That's enough.

Why don't we directly go and meet them?

What's the point in dilly-dallying?

Dilly-dallying

What a ridiculous word.

Then tell me...

What you are going to do...

What is that called?

Donga...

No silly questions today.

Mom only wants to see the third mole now.

Right? -Yes.

Shinya.

Where is the third mole?

You know, right?

Jitu.

Got it?

What do you mean?

What?

You haven't told us.

Now tell me

How to check the mole?

Why are you so curious, Dongya?

Come on. -Aunty...!

Jyoti, do you have all the pointers?

Yes... -Just mail it to me please.

I'll just go through it.

Careful.

RJ Bandya!

I listen to all your shows.

But I am not an RJ.

No?

But I listen to all your shows.

Who is she?

Amruta.

Hey.

Did you read the mail?

Yes.

Listen, I won't be able to do it.

You have to do the show from that site.

I know but...

But my mother just schedules these meet ups for me.

I understand.

But it's a studio shift.

It's sold out.

You will have to do it.

Shruti, when is Padmashree Londhe ma'am coming?

She'll be here.

She just called me.

Sure? -She is in the lift.

I have to go on air.

Yes. Go.

Sure?

It's time to go live.

[Laughs] -Bandya is...

Listen.

Can I go as well?

Go. But you'll do it, right?

Yes, I will do it.

Bye. Thank you.

Children of the sun.

Solar system.

On the pages of the comet.

If you've read these books...

You can easily imagine.

These are the names of the books?

Yes.

You are right.

Sit down.

And listen carefully.

On Superhits 93.5 on Red FM.

The author of these books...

The renowned space scientist

Padmashri Londhe is with us in the studio.

Welcome.

Ma'am, tell us about space.

I mean other planets.

Jupiter, Mars.

Yes, Mars.

Yeah that is very problematic in the horoscope.

What?

But don't be afraid.

No?

There are some rituals for that.

You see, Mars is very ...

What is all this?

The interview is going on.

That's what I am saying.

Why are you interviewing her?

You are supposed to interview me.

Why?

Come on Bandya...

It's me...

Padmashri Londhe.

You?

Yes?

Then sit down.

Sit here.

And come on time.

If you're punctual, you may actually get the Padmashri award.

He said, I want to meet her.

Oh!

I told him she is my friend. -[Laughs]

Your voice has been approved for the jingle.

I will mail you the details.

Super.

Bye.

Sorry, sorry.

Sorry, sorry.

I spilled the coffee.

It's okay.

No problem.

That's fine. No problem. -It's not fine.

It's not okay.

There's coffee all over you.

It will leave a stain.

Take this off.

Take that T-shirt off.

What?

I will have to see if the stain comes off or not.

But I'll take care of it.

How can you? I will see it.

I will have to see it.

What are you saying?

What am I saying?

Please take off the T-shirt.

How can I take off the T-shirt?

Like this...

So what...

It's all good with other women.

Take it off. Please.

I'm like your mother, aren't I?

You are scaring me.

I will go.

You don't go.

Don't be scared.

You stay here.

You stay here.

I will go.

Take off the T-shirt.

O God!

"Oh I found it..."

"The one I was looking for..."

[Music]

"Oh I found it..."

"The one I was looking for..."

"Some god has surely blessed me today..."

"My heart is full..."

"My heart is racing..."

"My heart is skipping a beat..."

"Chhoo Mantar..."

[Music]

"I've wandered for ages and ages..."

"I'm finally at my destination..."

"My heart hung in suspense for no reason..."

"And now, I've finally found it..."

"Everything feels like magic to me..."

"But who can I tell?"

"Everything feels like magic to me..."

"But who can I tell?"

"Chhoo Mantar..."

"Oh I found it..."

"The one I was looking for..."

"Some god has surely blessed me today..."

"My heart is full..."

"My heart is racing..."

"My heart is skipping a beat..."

"Chhoo Mantar..."

[Music]

"Happiness has arrived at my doorstep..."

Soon the trinkling of anklets will fill the air..."

"My poor little heart is so excited..."

"How do I hold it back?

"My poor little heart is so excited..."

"How do I hold it back?

"Chhoo Mantar..."

"Oh I found it..."

"The one I was looking for..."

"Some God has surely blessed me today..."

"My heart is full..."

"My heart is racing..."

"My heart is skipping a beat..."

"Chhoo Mantar..."

[Music]

"Chhoo Mantar..."

"Oh I found it..."

Please have some...

Please be comfortable... -Careful...

Hello.

This is not that girl.

How could she be?

She is my Disha.

Sit...

He is my younger son-in-law.

Vinod Gupte.

Disha's husband.

Amruta...

Come.

I think we've met before.

Saraswati Vidya Mandir.

Marathi.

She teaches Marathi.

Did you go to the same school?

No.

No?

I told you so.

Stop it.

You had come to my radio station.

She told me to take off my T-shirt.

What?

Aruna?

Mom? -No.

I accidentally spilled coffee on her t-shirt...

She spilled coffee on me.

Coffee.

Okay.

Jitendra.

Hi! -Hi!

Did he also go to Saraswati Vidya Mandir?

No.

I gave her the 'tochan' the other day.

What? -[Laughs]

'Tochan'?

I mean...

No, Jitendra. I will tell them.

If a bike is broken down.

Someone else on another bike pushes it with their leg...

That's 'tochan'.

Right?

Perfect.

Really?

You need to read the newspaper. To improve your language.

Aunty...

These days even newspapers cannot be trusted for its language.

You are right.

'Mumbai becomes Tumbai'

These are their headlines.

This 'tochan' is not so bad.

In fact, it is nice.

It is nice.

Jitu...

Jitendra, if you want to ask her something, go ahead.

Okay.

Go on...

Do you like Kathmandu?

Yes, I like it.

Wow.

I have been there three times.

Wow.

What?

We know each other.

Yes.

But do you like Jitendra?

Yes.

She is actually blushing..

Have some more pohe..

I will make us some tea.

Have it, please.

Carry on.

Well...

I have a condition.

The tea is boiling.

Brewing.

It will be ready in five minutes.

Okay.

What is your condition?

We will agree with everything you say.

[Chuckles]

Wait a minute.

What is your condition Amruta?

My condition is...

Look...

Arunrao wants to go to the washroom.

Me?

It must be a custom in their family...

Go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Actually, my condition... -Donga dada...

Have you seen our garden?

Oh dear...

We have a lovely garden.

Vinu, show them.

Show them.

Come.

What is your condition?

Aunty...

4:33?

What 4:33?

Mom, have you forgotten?

The doctors have told me that at sharp 4:33...

I must take a walk.

Really?

It is already 4:33.

Yes. Let's go.

Go.

The doctors have advised it.

You have to do it.

Go. -Yes.

Let's go. -Let's go.

It is 4:33 -I'll be back.

Careful...

Not fair, Mom...

[Sighs]

What is her condition?

Nothing.

She is an RJ on FM radio.

She must be talking about her working hours.

I see.

Her show is in the evening.

She is Gupshup Queen?

Gupshup Queen?

Yes.

Amruta?

Yes.

Oh, you mean... 'Chhoo Mantar'?

Our Amruta?

Why don't you let me tell them?

[Music]

Happy...

Before all this,

I want to tell you and everyone something.

Saudamini has told me everything.

We'll do as you say.

Yes.

I agree with you.

You agree?

Yes.

So, where is it?

What?

What are you asking for?

The card.

The card?

We haven't printed it yet.

[Laughs]

What do you mean?

My mother hasn't told you about my condition.

Here's my condition.

My mother-in-law's and my horoscopes must match.

Only then will I marry the boy.

Or else I won't.

Amruta...

Sister...

You are thinking about Amruta, aren't you?

The other day when she mentioned her condition...

I was sceptical of how the family behaved..

We should have asked about it clearly.

Then why didn't you ask her right there?

You should have asked.

Puranpoli?

No.

How would I know that she had such a strange condition?

Yes.

I mean...

We were blindsided by the sudden joy.

That's okay, Kiran.

But Aruna...

You know what I think...

Listen.

Amruta's condition is a little different but it is not strange.

Isn't it?

Isn't it?

I was also thinking the same.

"I don't want my in laws to meddle..."

That is what most girls want these days..

But this girl...

Wants to match her horoscope with her mother-law!

Yes.

She wants to live together.

Isn't it?

You like her, don't you? Then go tell your mother.

We will give you...

Support.

Support you.

We really like Amruta Paradkar for our sister-in-law.

I also like her a lot.

As a sister-in-law?

As a wife.

Yes.

Everyone likes Amruta.

Yes.

Jitu also likes her.

You check if your horoscopes match.

No...

This is ghastly.

You are chalk and cheese.

What do you mean?

These horoscopes are terrible.

India and Pakistan.

Their enmity is legendary.

These two horoscopes are opposite ends of the pole.

What do you mean?

I mean...

According to the horoscopes, you are arche-enemies.

If one is fire, the other is water.

If one is oil... The other is a lit match.

If they come close there is bound to be an explosion.

When 36 points match up...

That is an ideal horoscope.

But all I can see here is a battlefield.

However this union...

Will bring great fortune to Jitu's life.

But you will never get along with her.

Listen to me, Aruna Sister

Cancel this marriage.

[Indistinct chatter]

Quiet.

Everyone, quiet.

Madhav.

Yes?

Get up.

Lesson number 10.

Start reading from where we left yesterday.

Pay attention to your pronunciation.

Read.

Go on.

So Dinu lied.

That's why his father took the stick to hit him. - [All laughs]

Scared, Dinu's was went pale.

[All laughs, shushing]

Face went pale?

Yes.

Pale.

That's when Dinu's mother stepped in and said ...

[All laughs]

"Stop, Dinu's father."

Have you forgotten what Lord Krishna has said?

A lie uttered with a good intention...

"That lie is bigger than the truth."

If a lie paves the way to the betterment of an innocent life...

If it is a catalysis for a better and flourishing future...

Then such a lie must be told.

Lifting the burden of a noble intention...

On the little finger of a falsehood...

Is not a sin.

Parth.

I'm done.

Madhav.

Madhav.

What is this?

I have already seen these before.

You must match them.

Match them?

No way...

That is impossible.

Acharya!

Think about it.

Understand how important your role is in this marriage.

If they marry each other...

The happy couple will shower blessings on you.

Acharya...

The Paradkar and Karekar families...

"We exist thanks to Acharya Alaukik!"

That's what they'll say.

Acharya.

Your photo...

Will be put up in the Karekar house for the next 70 generations.

Acharya you will be revered forever.

Women will worship your name.

The 70th generation will wear lockets of your name.

That's not all.

People will tattoo your name on their body.

Acharya.

Acharya they will build a grand tomb for you.

Acharya, your name will be chanted.

You will be immortal.

Incredible!

Simply incredible!

They will get married.

The birth date in the horoscope will have to be altered.

And after that everything will be as per you wish.

I'll be back.

Rickshaw.

Rickshaw.

Amrutnagar.

Amrutanagar? Not Amruta, you fool.

Amrutnagar.

Don't mention Amruta's name.

How much?

33.5

Give me 70 rupees.

Forget your 70 rupees.

33.5 points were matching in the horoscope.

The Paradkars threw me out of the house.

It's difficult.

It's very difficult.

I am telling you.

It's a big problem.

Rikshaw, tell me.

Who matches the horoscope of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

Who? -You.

I mean, did you match it?

I did something.

What? -I made it happen.

I made a Guruji make a flawless horoscope for me.

All it took was 2100 rupees.

When they found out it was fake, we're out!

Out?

Let it be.

Is your horoscope also doctored?

No way.

No, not me.

Then?

I always come here to sell pickle.

Then where is the pickle?

I have just made it...

Mom, don't we buy pickle from her?

Shut up.

Will you move aside?

The whole family is crazy. Come on.

Are you coming or not??

I want to match my horoscope with my mother-in-law.

This is ridiculous.

[Indistinct chatter]

Aunty!

Hi.

Amruta, you live here?

Zodiac sign - Gemini...

Constellation- Punarvasu...

Gan - Devgan!

Wow!

You have a nice horoscope.

You...

You were sitting right here.

When did you go there?

No, I have been here all along.

Paradkar...

I have never seen a better horoscope.

Wonderful!

This is nice.

Wait a minute, Mrs. Paradkar.

Show me your birth certificate.

No... I have come to meet the girl.

I'd have brought the birth certificate if it were a job interview.

I need to see it. Only then can we decide the right time.

Mrs. Paradkar.

Are you sure they haven't forged the horoscope just like the Samudres?

No, Guruji.

Aunty, why are you standing?

Come sit down.

Please sit down.

Joshi Guruji, she won't to do that.

I trust her completely.

She is a teacher.

What do teachers teach their students?

Subjects.

[Laughs]

Hey.

No...

They teach students not to lie.

Yes...

One must never lie.

I teach that every day.

That is the first thing I teach.

I have been writing this on the blackboard every day for the past 24 years.

One must never lie.

Then this is settled.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Hi, hope you aren't busy. -Thank you!

Congratulations.

Congratulations to you too.

Thank you so much.

Jitu's marriage has finally been fixed.

Shut up.

Actually, I wanted to ask you something.

Shall we meet?

Yeah, sure.

Where?

Anywhere... Just the two of us.

[Music]

"So silken... your rosy spell..."

"Drifts in like a blissful dream..."

"A new bond is born a new journey begins..."

""In this tender moment I wish for you by my side..."

"New colours fill my world a rainbow blooms within

"As our melodies come together my heart blossoms, losing itself in you..."

"So silken... your rosy spell..."

"Drifts in like a blissful dream..."

"A new bond is born a new journey begins..."

"In this tender moment I wish for you by my side..."

[Music]

"My heart keeps playing this new game of love..."

"Your love has cast a spell on me..."

"Your honey-sweet words linger all around me..."

"I hear them everywhere..."

"So silken..."

"So silken... your rosy spell..."

"Drifts in like a blissful dream..."

"A new bond is born a new journey begins..."

"In this tender moment I wish for you by my side..."

[Music]

"Who has given my heart these newfound wings?"

"I yearn to gather all the moonlight in my hands"

"These scents are new...."

"New are these feelings..."

"I find myself entwined in you..."

"So silken..."

"So silken... your rosy spell..."

"Drifts in like a blissful dream..."

"A new bond is born a new journey begins..."

""In this tender moment I wish for you by my side..."

"New colours fill my world a rainbow blooms within

"As our melodies come together my heart blossoms, losing itself in you..."

[Music]

Time for the 'ukhana'. Don't be shy.

Okay... Fine...

I had memorised it a long time ago.

[Laughs]

I grew up.

I cast my vote.

Then I craved for my honey moon.

I had dreamt of Kathmandu.

But we will go to Nainital.

I know I have married a bit...

Quite late...

Now Amruta is my wife.

Destiny ushered her into my life.

Wow! Wow!

Thank you, thank you.

Nice. Nice.

Now it is your turn.

Yes, yes. - Amruta!

Yes, yes.

It took almost forever and finally my horoscope matched with my mother-in-law.

[Coughs]

It took almost forever and finally my horoscope matched with my mother-in-law.

My only condition for this marriage...

Aruna Bai fulfilled it.

'' Wow, that's great.

I am a daughter of the Paradkars.

Now the daughter-in-law of the Karekars.

As I utter Jitu Rao's name today...

I am blushing like never before.

Wow... lovely...

Victory to Sister-in-law Saheb!

Let's go, let's go.

Come Amruta.

Welcome.

Win over the Karekar household in five steps.

Sister-in-law has 5 feet?

Shut up.

When a new bride comes into the house for the first time...

She takes five baby steps.

Emo baby.

Why just five? Why not seven or nine?

Sister-in-law, you tell him.

Tejas...

Every single ritual that we follow...

Has a hidden reason behind it.

What is the hidden reason in this case?

I'll tell you Donga Bhauji.

The first step is of trust.

The second is of sacrifice.

The third is of tender affection.

The fourth...

Is of character.

And the fifth step...

Is of 'Annapurna'

This way...

So...

Now I am going to the kitchen.

Quickly now, what do you want to have?

Wow!

After a dark, dark night... when you see a ray of hope.

You've waited far too long...

But your daughter-in-law is a real gem!

Wow Aunty!

Let's have a cup of tea for everyone.

Yes.

Tea is the drink for real celebrations!

And only after a cup of tea there is.... Chhoo

Mantar!

Yes.

[Laughs]

Now you have the Gupshup Queen right here, at home!

[Calling out]

My mother.

Okay. -Mom...

Your granddaughter-in-law, Amruta.

My mother has been unwell today.

She couldn't come to the wedding.

Come.

Bless us.

May you have a long and happy married life.

Grandma...

How do you like your grand daughter-in-law?

Name?

Amruta.

Mrs. Amruta Jitendra Karekar.

Great, Amruta.

You are very lucky.

What's going on?

Won't you take my blessings?

Again?

Sister-in-law...

I will tell you.

Our grandmother is a bit 'Ghajini'.

Who?

Short-term memory loss.

Things that are happening or already happened...

It just gets deleted from her brain.

There is a pooja tomorrow.

Yes, Grandma.

Then you can come together.

Did you hear that, Sister-in-law?

[Laughs]

This is a special gift for you.

Touring bangles.

Touring bangles?

Yes.

Like the trophy that changes hands with every winner.

These bangles keep changing hands in this family.

The mother-in-law gives these bangles to her daughter-in-law.

And then the daughter-in-law takes care of the house.

Till her daughter-in-law comes along.

Now this is all your responsibility.

You are the owner of this house.

But... so soon...

Sooner or later...

I had to hand them over to you.

This is the right time.

Take it.

Just the way you took charge of the kitchen...

Take the reins of the entire house.

But remember one thing.

The woman plays the most important role in the family.

When should you be emotional...

When should you be strong...

When should you sacrifice...

When should you be practical...

The woman who understands this,

She understands how to keep the family together.

Oh!

Hey!

Can I call you 'Mom'?

Please.

This is what I wanted.

I don't want a daughter-in-law.

I always wanted a daughter.

Psst!

What is it?

What is it now?

Come here.

Get up early tomorrow.

My Jitu is getting married.

[Laughs]

I got married and they are romancing here. - [Snoring]

[Phone chimes]

Jitu...

Can I ask you something?

What exactly did you like about me?

I like you...

I liked everything about you.

Everything?

Yes.

[Laughs]

Jitu...

Everything?

Shall I tell you the truth?

When I spent years finding a bride...

I used to say yes to any match that came my way.

I just wanted to get married as soon as possible.

I want to have a nice family.

I have tiny little dreams for my family.

I mean...

When I look in the mirror to shave...

There would be a few of your bindis stuck to it.

Where should we go in the evening?

Gateway of India or Juhu beach...

That should be the debate of the day.

Finally, we would go to Gadkari Rangayatan

And watch a nice Marathi play.

Mangalagaur would be yours but look at me.

But I would be fussing.

Haldi Kunku would be yours... But I would be excited.

You would do the Vat Pournima pooja...

But I would vow to be with you for seven lifetimes.

Bhel at the beach...

And spending a lot of time with each other.

That is all I ever wanted.

I mean...

That is all I want.

Jitu...

Jitu, you will have it all...

What do you mean?

Of course I will.

Are you up already?

We're coming to your place for the pooja.

Mom... -Yes, we'll be there soon.

Mom, I miss you.

Don't you get it?

You think I don't understand.

Waiting. -Mrs. Karekar!

Come soon.

We're on the way.

Was that your mother?

A mother's love is irreplaceable.

I cried a lot in Aruna and Kiran's wedding.

Hey...

The children that are born after sunset...

Love their father

more than their mother.

Isn't that interesting?

Grandma...

Then my mother-in-law must love her father...

more than you?

Since she was born at 2.30 in the night.

Not at all... Aruna was born in the afternoon.

Yes.

When she was born...

A big storm broke out.

Grandma...

The horoscope has her time of birth...

At 2.30 in the night.

Amruta...

I went through labour...

My father was a great astrologer.

He told me, "Vinaya..."

"This girl born in the zodiac sign of cancer..."

"Is going to be very lucky for you."

No, Grandma.

I don't think you remember.

But her zodiac sign is...

Gemini

Who told you?

So... The storm broke out.

Mom...

Let's go downstairs.

Everyone is here.

Even Acharya is here.

This is your jewellery.

Mom, did you take the medicine?

You take it.

I was having a lovely conversation with her.

Yes, Mom.

She is telling me stories from the past.

It is so funny...

She doesn't remember what happened a minute ago.

But she remembers things that happened half a century ago!

Exactly as they happened.

Mom, let's go.

Is Acharya Alaukik here? -Yes.

Give me the cane.

Careful now...

Mom...

How do you remember these old things?

You didn't come to the wedding.

I couldn't either.

I see.

I was not well.

I'm fine now.

Nandu, do it nicely.

Let it drop down from above.

Are you fasting today?

Nothing like that.

Hold on.

Sabudana khichadi!

It's for everyone.

Do you want some curd?

[Indistinct chatter]

They're married now. - Come on, come on.

Take everyone's blessings.

Yes. Come on. - Hurry up.

Grandma...

Bless us.

May you always be happy.

You are going to get engaged.

[Laughs]

There you go, Grandma.

Isn't it Acharya?

Yes.

So, Alaukik?

Yes.

Dad, give us your blessings.

May you always be happy.

Have a happy married life.

Sister-in-law...

You were sent away after the wedding?

Not sent away...

Handed over to us.

Dad...

Your blessings... -No...

Don't touch my feet.

Touch Aruna's feet.

The real household is in the hands of the mother and daughter-in-law.

[Laughs]

Tell me your date of birth.

Date of birth.

Now?

What's going on?

I'll tell you when I know.

As soon as you know.

11th November, 1968.

Time of birth.

But...

Why do you need the time?

What does that mean?

Mom, tell me your time of birth.

2.30 in the night.

No way.

You were born in the afternoon.

I think she forgot.

Aruna...

What's going on?

What do you mean?

There is a pooja in the house.

What kind of question is this?

Right. Amruta...

What's going on?

Will you tell them?

Or should I?

Let me tell them.

She gave us her fake horoscope.

What?

She has tricked me.

All of you

Have broken my trust.

Amruta.

Amruta.

There is no need to talk about this now.

You are married.

I have been cheated into it.

I don't believe in this marriage.

Amruta, you shouldn't take such decisions in a fit of rage.

Listen to me.

Who told you that the horoscope is forged?

Acharya has matched the horoscopes.

Ask him.

Acharya, you tell her.

She came to me with the horoscopes.

Why do I stand accused?

That's not necessary.

Mom, call Joshi and tell him to come here.

Amruta, there is no need to call Joshi Guruji.

Mom, it is necessary.

This is about my belief. Dad?

Okay, I will call him.

Listen.

Amruta, there seems to be a misunderstanding.

It is not what you think.

It is really not what you think.

[Cell phone rings]

Namaste Joshi Guruji.

I will call you later.

Joshi, listen to me.

Dad, put the phone on speaker.

Put the phone on speaker.

Can we talk later?

Joshi, I am Paradkar speaking.

I will call you later.

No, listen to me.

There is a big problem here. I need to talk to you.

I am sending you Amruta's mother-in-law's birth date.

Please match the horoscopes again.

Paradkar, listen to me.

My mother passed away an hour ago.

I won't be able to check the horoscope for the next 13 days.

I am in mourning.

I can't check the horoscope when in mourning.

I can understand.

Listen to me please...

Hello.

Dad, let's go.

What's wrong with you?

Amruta...

Listen to me.

Look, I won't let you come home like this.

Dad...

Listen.

If you leave and come home and if the horoscopes actually match...

Then?

Then your mother-in-law will be humiliated.

And everyone will remember this.

So, don't come home like this.

I will stay.

But in these 13 days...

Don't expect anything from me as a daughter-in-law.

Amruta, wait...

[Door slams]

Forgive me, Amruta.

I have hurt you.

Your faith has been shattered.

I confess that our horoscopes do not match.

But in these 13 days, I am sure I will win over your heart.

I won't let you go from my life like this.

This is not the end of our bond.

If at all...

This is...

An interval.

"Cup and saucer..."

Hello...

Hotel Lovebird, Nainital?

Yes, there was a honeymoon suite booked for Jitendra Karekar?

Cancel...

Brother...

Cancel it.

Brother...

Don't take it...

Don't take it to heart.

Sister-in-law will change her mind.

You should show her...

Your performance.

Brother...

To convince his wife...

All it takes is the husband's performance.

Yes.

But I don't know how to dance.

He is impossible.

What?

Hello. -Donga Dada...

Hush.

Hold please...

I'll talk to him.

Tell me.

Brother... speak softly.

You should've said that loudly.

I was at a distance.

Sorry...

Prajapati Travels?

Brother... you pay attention here.

Little brother's big...

Advice!

Tell me. - Listen.

Winning a woman's heart.

Lies in a man's... -Get up...

Just get up all of you.

This is not a match to win or lose.

Get up and get lost.

I didn't say anything.

You need special instructions? -Sorry.

I was only thinking the best for you.

[Knock on door]

Amruta.

You are here?

Look.

If you are done sitting and plotting with your mother...

Then go to sleep.

Amruta, what plot? What are you saying?

Please don't be upset.

And...

And... Please don't sleep on the floor.

Please.

Please.

You are sleeping on the floor.

Not me.

I was looking for a life partner in you.

But a liar like you... Life partner...?

Can't even be anyone's friend.

Before making such a big accusation...

You should've thought about it, Amruta.

[Saudamini crying]

I don't understand why are you crying like it is the end of the world?

What do you mean? -Mom..

My daughter is ending her marriage the very next day after the wedding.

You have always defended her. That's why.

Mom, please.

How is that Dad's fault?

I mean, I agree she is wrong... -Actually, I think Amruta is right.

She was very clear about her condition.

She has the right to question her mother-in-law.

Vinod.

Disha, Amruta is like a sister to me...

I don't appreciate that she has been cheated.

If it is proven that Amruta has been cheated...

She must come back home right away.

It will be her decision entirely.

And I will always be on her side as a father.

But before that...

Joshi Guruji has to give the decision.

Speak up.

There must be some mistake.

It is a great sin.

Open your heart... Put an end to this crisis.

Match the horoscopes.

Tell a tiny lie.

If not... That will be the end of me.

Acharya Alaukik...

His mother has passed away.

Please go easy on your words.

Guruji, we agree we have made a mistake.

We have accepted it.

But our intention wasn't evil.

Please, give the decision in our favour.

I beg of you.

Why is he not speaking?

Or is it my fault?

He won't say anything.

His mother passed away.

He has taken a vow of silence for 13 days.

Oh, God!

He hasn't spoken a word since he lit her pyre.

Or else he used to speak non-stop.

Like mother like son.

He won't speak but he is writing the horoscope.

Really?

Alaukik you will pay a price for your treachery.

And you...

[Laughs]

And you are a dagger...

Not the heart...

You're like a stab in the head.

That is so true.

What?

I know your tricking ways...

I know exactly how to deal with you.

He won't stop!

For that, I have decided a great pattern.

When I break my silence... You will face the music.

Anymore threats?

[In Sign Language]

Good bye, he says.

Let's go.

Now?

Now what?

This is the end of me.

Now there is only one way.

What?

What are you saying?

Aruna?

Sister, you?

What does that mean?

This is will destroy my marriage as well.

Listen to me.

Amruta's suspicions were true.

But Acharya Alaukik told me that...

Your horoscopes don't match.

But Jitu's life will flourish after this wedding.

That's why I did this.

Aruna, this is absolute foolishness.

Right.

Aunty you won't let Jitu go on his honeymoon.

He will.

It will happen.

He will go on his honeymoon...

And he will have a happy married life.

By lying?

'You should always speak the truth'

Now this teacher is teaching how to lie.

Trust me.

We still have 12 days.

We can bring everything together.

I need your support.

Then our Amruta will always be with us.

She won't go anywhere.

Sister...

Even if they don't sport you...

I will.

Not sport. Support.

Yes, I support you.

She won't stop correcting the mistakes.

I don't know what is right or wrong.

Sister...

Just like the helm of the ship...

I promise you... Where Aruna stands...

Kiran stands with her.

Kiran?

This girl has come to our house.

She must live like our daughter.

Support me for that.

Listen.

Now let's take an oath.

That we won't let Jitu and Amruta know about this secret.

Promise me.

Promise!

She hasn't come. -No...

Not yet.

She hasn't come. -She's here.

She is here.

Don't shout.

How did the honeymoon go?

How did the honeymoon go?

It went well.

Did you see that, Kiran?

Yes.

But what?

She handled it so well.

Where is the other player of the honeymoon?

[Laughs]

Grandma...

He has directly gone to office.

I want to tell you something.

What...

Grandma?

Grandma?

It was midnight when my stomach began to ache..

What?

Did you tell anyone about it?

No, wait.

I'll call the doctor.

When Aruna was born.

What?

Then I shook my father.

My father saw the clock.

He said, it's midnight now.

Will the doctor come so late in the night?

What happened next?

Then my father called for a cart.

Bullock cart.

He made me sit in the bullock cart... -Grandma!

He took me to the doctor.

The doctor was asleep.

We woke him up.

The doctor looked at the clock.

He said, "Oh God..."

It is 1.30 in the night.

How will we deliver her now?

It was childbirth.

It can't be stopped.

You know Aruna.

Always in a hurry.

She was born at 2.30 in the night.

My father said to me,

"This girl born in the middle of the night..."

"Is going to be very lucky for you."

No, Grandma.

Who was born in the afternoon?

No one.

Both of them were born at night like owls.

You are an owl.

Grandma...

On the day of the pooja, you told me a story.

What about that?

Mom!

Aruna!

Aruna!

Amruta, when did you come?

Come, come.

Aruna, I memorized everything you had told me.

And I told her everything.

How much more will you try to hide the truth?

If you lie once, you have to lie a thousand times.

Amruta!

She's gone.

Call her.

I want to tell her a story.

It was midnight.

Mom. -Then I shook my father.

Mom. -I woke him up.

Mom...

Look, Amruta, what your mother-in-law has made for you.

Eggplant 'bharta'...

Eggplant curry.

Eggplant fritters.

Sister... potato sabzi.

So there is a special dish for you?

Yes.

She doesn't eat eggplant, so this is made for her.

Don't you like eggplant?

How can I our tastes match?

The horoscopes don't match.

No, our tastes do match.

I like eggplant, I eat it.

Aruna!

I'll eat this as well.

Aruna, why are you eating it?

Why are you eating the eggplant?

Mom!

What's wrong with you? Why are you eating eggplant?

Jitu...

So what?

What's going on?

She is eating eggplant. So what?

Yes. - Amruta, Mom is allergic to eggplant.

Even if she eats accidently eats a bit of it, she suffers a lot.

This is your problem.

You are constantly lying.

You could've just told me that you're allergic to eggplant.

You are lying about that as well.

If something happens to her now, whom will you blame?

Me!

Amruta. -I have a request.

I request all of you...

Stop lying to me.

Amruta, don't do this.

Amruta, wait.

[Clears throat]

Let me apply the ointment. - [Groans]

It's too much.

Why didn't anyone stop her?

It happened so suddenly.

Why are you doing this?

To impress Amruta?

Mom enough now. We're going to the hospital.

No, I won't listen to you.

This is serious.

[Indistinct chatter]

Swami...

Swami...

Grandma...

Did Aruna eat eggplant?

Someone should have stopped her.

Eggplants for Aruna...

Are very harmful.

You...

You too pray to Swami.

This should not become serious.

Shri Swami Samarth.

Shri Swami Samarth.

Shri Swami Samarth.

Shri Swami Samarth.

Don't worry.

It will be fine.

No, I am not worried about the allergy.

The medicines will take care of it.

I'm worried...

The allergy festering in Amruta's mind about you.

We'll find the cure for that as well.

The way you and our family supported me today...

Stand by me.

[Phone chimes]

Look...

A message from Amruta.

What is she saying?

Are you okay?

Look...

She is worried about me.

What should I reply?

[Phone chimes]

I am going to bed.

[Phone chimes]

Look...

She has replied.

What?

'Good.'

Swami...

Day after tomorrow is 'Padwa'.

Let's see.

Whether we raise the 'Gudhi' of happiness...

Or we're left with nothing but the bitter leaves.

You will see.

There will be a showering of love.

[Celebratory band music]

[Anklets tinkling]

[Snaps fingers]

Are you going to keep staring at me?

We must hoist the 'Gudhi'...

Fulfil everyone's wish.

Let there be peace and happiness in this house.

Aruna...

I have the silver bowl for the prasad.

Give it to her.

Take it.

Good.

Mrs. Paradkar had said to me...

Our Amruta is a fabulous cook.

First I will offer it to God...

Then taste it.

I don't need to taste it.

The colour says it all. The 'srikhand' is delicious.

How can you tell just by looking at it?

Will you come with me this evening?

Yes, I will come.

At least ask me, where?

You want me to go with you. That is more than enough for me.

Gudhi Padwa special 'Mother-in-law Dance Competition'

Dhina-Dhin-Dha!

[Chuckles]

Amruta...

You should have told me earlier.

This has come as a shock to me.

Here she is, Amruta.

Hey, Bandya.

Amruta you're so late.

The competition is almost over.

Instead of L for Live...

You're L for Late? [Laughs]

What do you mean?

Aunty, the programme is going live right now.

What are you performing for your daughter-in-law?

Dancing is compulsory?

Of course.

Or else we'll assume that

You don't L for Love your daughter-in-law.

[Laughs]

Stop it, Bandya?

She is a mother-in-law.

Who can make the daughter-in-law dance.

She won't dance for her daughter-in-law.

Isn't it, Mother-in-law?

To announce the winners of the dance competition...

Here is the renowned singer...

Mr. Sudesh Bhosle.

Namaste...

Namaste...

Sir, you are Sudesh Bhosle... So am I!

You are Sudesh Bhosle...

I am Sudesh Bhosle.

Both of us are here.

[All laughs] -So, the winner of this competition...

And the best mother-in-law is...

Wait!

Aruna?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Now comes mother-in-law number 10.

[Music]

"A little mischievous..."

"A little hard to please..."

"A little playful at heart..."

"No no... you don't know me..."

"Immerse yourself in my colours..."

Let's paint each other in our hues..."

"Together, we'll create magic..."

[Music]

"Your ethereal beauty... has whisked my heart away..."

"O God... You're so beautiful!"

"With your sweet, sweet words..."

"you've stolen my heart away..."

"O God... You're so silly!"

"I'm completely smitten now struck by love's wicked sting

[Music]

"If only you'd listen to the melody of my love...

"And the song of my heart..."

Why does the bee of your heart keep humming its tune?"

"Why does it sing to me this melody of love?"

"No, I'm not... the moon you've been searching for..."

[Music]

"Your radiance shines like the moon your eyes are deep as a lake..."

"O your graceful gait..."

"How could I possibly do justice to your beauty, my love?"

"My radiance shines like the moon my eyes are deep as a lake..."

"And my graceful gait... is like a rose in bloom"

"Watch out, handsome..."

[Music]

[Applause]

Aruna.

Hey, wait.

Yes sir.

Look...

Ladies and gentlemen.

[All laughs]

All the mothers-in-law have danced very well.

And the winner of this trophy is...

The girl from my college.

The scholar of that time.

I am surprised to see her dance today. - Nice.

And I am in love.

But...

Let's announce this name?

Aruna.

Aruna Karekar.

Hearty congratulations.

[Applause]

Aruna...

Who is she?

My daughter-in-law.

Daughter-in-law.

You are very lucky.

That you have got such a mother-in-law.

May every girl have such a mother-in-law.

[Applause]

They need to be thrashed.

What happened?

Instead of writing, 'This is the sun and this is Jayadrath...'

He has written, ' This is the sun and this is Jayesh's rath!'

[Laughs] -Idiot.

Never mind.

Kids these days know nothing about the Ramayan.

I will beat you now.

What happened? - Was it in Ramayana?

It was in Mahabharat.

Really?

After sunset everyone thought Arjun has lost the battle.

Shri Krishna made the sun rise up in the sky...

And said...

This is the sun and this is Jayadrath.

Now everyone will know.

Aruna Karekar who pretends to be truthful...

Is Jayadrath.

And her birth certificate.

Is the sun.

You get it for me from her village gram panchayat.

Consider your job done.

And send that birth certificate directly to me. Okay?

Yes. - And...

Don't let anyone know about this.

It looks difficult.

What's so difficult?

I said send it to me...

I meant to my office. You're impossible.

Amruta?

What happened?

Why are you so angry?

Is there parcel delivered to my name?

Courier?

I didn't take it.

Chandu - Nandu?

No.

Amruta, take this.

Have some water.

Is there a courier delivered in my name?

No, I don't know.

What courier?

Your birth certificate.

[Thuds]

She is dying... I think she is dying.

Tell me the truth. Who took my courier?

We didn't.

What about you? -I just came back from school.

The results are out today.

Your result too is going to be declared soon.

All of you, who are lying just to support her.

But I will find the birth certificate.

They think they are very smart.

All of you lied so well.

Give it to me quickly.

You took the courier, give it.

Me?

I didn't take it.

Give it quickly.

Give it.

I don't have it.

Give it to me.

Nobody has it?

Who took the certificate?

We didn't take it.

You didn't take it?

No.

We must find it before she does.

Look for it.

Find it quickly.

Or else Sister is going to be in a soup.

Sister's reputation will be ruined. She will lose face...

What?

Aruna Sister will be in big trouble. That's all.

Yes.

Find the birth certificate.

Shashi...

I'm looking for the nutcracker.

What's the point in looking for the birth certificate?

Zunzurke... Everything is over now.

Yes?

Do you have a pen?

Pen?

I will write it down.

If everything is over, Sister will never be able to fix the scars on her heart.

Kiran... - Huh?

Don't...

I'm already dizzy looking for the certificate.

Now your scratches... heart... please don't.

Scars...

I beg you. Stop.

Out of my way...

Move it.

Who is this?

Get up.

Grandma...

Get up. - Slowly.

Aruna.

Are they sealing our house?

Please calm down and sit.

We're already in a mess.

Shut up.

What is everyone looking for?

Mom...

In such a terrible situation...

You keep quiet.

Amruta.

Grandma

Amruta.

Grandma...

Amruta.

Why are you calling her?

Come here.

What happened?

A man had come in the afternoon.

He said give this to Amruta Paradkar.

Whether a child will be born in this family...

The doctor must have given the report.

I immediately brought it to Swami.

I told him...

This is now your responsibility, Swami.

And I forgot all about it.

I remembered when I saw them searching for something.

Take it.

Take it.

Thank you, Grandma.

Thank you so much.

Aruna.

Where are you?

Here...

I am right here.

I did this right, didn't I?

You did right.

Are you scared?

Then read it.

Read it.

Jitu is also here.

Jitu good you're here.

Mom is reading the details of her birth certificate.

Amruta, is that necessary?

I'll read it.

Yes.

Read it.

Name.

Miss. Aruna Saraf.

Mother's name...

Mrs. Vinaya Saraf.

Let's help Amruta pack her bag.

Birth place...

Kudal.

Time of birth...

Time of birth...?

Swami.

Termites...

Termites...?

Termites have eaten the time of birth.

Amruta.

It's just termites. Why are you so angry?

Mom, wait... -Jitu.

Let me talk to her.

Amruta.

I kept it near Swami's portrait.

Is she upset about that?

No, Mom...

My sweet Mom.

"Cup and saucer..."

"Cup and saucer..."

"Cup and saucer..."

"Cup and saucer..."

"Cup and saucer..."

"Cup and saucer..."

"Cup and saucer..."

"What an odd pair..."

"A pair of cup and saucer..."

"What a lovely pair...!"

"A pair of cup and saucer..."

"Steaming hot..."

"Sips of love..."

"Drink too fast and it'll burn your lips..."

"This scathing pair..."

"A pair of cup and saucer..."

Amruta...

Amruta...We're waiting for you.

So happy?

You always eat the food you like.

What's so special today?

Kiran loves to watch the commercials on TV.

Yes, that's true.

[All laughs] -There is good news.

Really?

Good news already?

No, not that kind of good news.

I guess...

It can't be that kind of good news, for sure.

Tejas, wait.

What is it?

I'll tell you.

He wants to tell his wife before anyone else.

I had applied for a job at a company in Dubai.

I had two online interviews.

They've selected me.

Great. What a good news!

I hope this is true.

Or are you lying about this as well?

Amruta!

She is already behaving like this.

Yes.

God knows what's in store for the future.

When she comes to know

That the horoscopes don't match...

Then?

Looks difficult.

Swami...

Bye, Sister

What is going on in this house? It doesn't make any sense.

Take care brother...

Bye Sister-in-law

Shall I drop you today?

That's not necessary. I'll go.

Please.

Don't say no today.

Why?

Please.

I am sorry.

I know you don't like this.

But... Sorry.

I am also sorry.

And...

Congratulations.

For Dubai.

Thank you.

Why are we here?

To get the divorce papers.

Look...

I know you may not fully agree with this decision.

But it is bound to happen sooner or later.

So...

So, your mother forged the horoscope.

You accept it now?

The same thing, again?

Look, Amruta.

I don't know anything about this.

Nothing at all.

All I know is that...

You are suffering... And I can't bear to see you in pain.

I loved you from the bottom of my heart.

Still do.

And I want to be married only to you.

I believed that...

You are so correct for me.

But I never thought...

Whether I am correct for you.

I'm not.

"I wonder whether this the truth or a dream..."

"The questions are varied... The answers are the same..."

"Just when our hearts are so entwined... "

"How can I untie this knot?"

4...

8... - Listen.

12...

Amruta is not answering her phone.

I hope she is okay.

Call the radio station.

I don't have the number.

She is not answering.

Let Jitu come back.

Once he is here...

Look, here he is.

Jitu...

Amruta hasn't come home yet.

Jitu, your mother asked you a question.

Yes, I heard her.

She won't come home.

What do you mean?

Jitu...

Amruta and I...

Have signed the divorce papers today.

What?

And I have sent her back home.

What?

Come...

Mom? -Aruna?

Mom, go slow...

Our darling son...

Is smart enough to serve divorce papers to his wife.

But he doesn't feel the need to understand...

Why did Amruta want to match horoscopes with her mother-in-law?

Amruta's aunt, Sunanda.

She loved her more than her mother.

[Amruta] 'Gentle... Kind...'

'She was not just an aunt for Amruta.'

'She was a friend.'

'She had a special place in little Amruta's heart.'

[Saudamini] 'Yes, it's true.'

'Our little Amruta's favourite Sunanda aunty...'

'Could never win her mother-in-law's heart.'

'She suffered every single moment.'

'Even her husband did not stand by her.'

'She was so fed up of the constant pain...'

'That one day...'

[Saudamini crying]

'Sunanda...'

Who could've imagined that Sunanda would take such a step.

How could you...

We check everything when we decide to get married.

Where does the groom work?

How is he?

Do their horoscopes match?

We check all that. But the mother-in-law...

How is she?

We don't check that.

I said that in a bout of emotions...

But little Amruta took it very seriously.

That is where this strange condition took roots.

Mom, I'm sorry.

I really didn't know anything about this.

No, you... -Jitu didn't know anything.

And she tried to find the truth...

That doesn't change anything, Dad.

Tell them.

Amruta...

Just a minute...

Shrikant Rao.

Whether anything changes or not...

That will be decided six days later.

For now she is the daughter-in-law of Karekars.

She should live with the Karekars, isn't it?

Please send her downstairs.

We will wait.

We are emotional fools.

The mother is good. The wife is good.

It is as simple as that for us.

But this simple equation has...

There has to be an end to this.

Why don't we directly go to Alaukik's house tomorrow?

Why are you looking at me like that?

One minute.

You had gone to Alaukik the other day.

When they matched the horoscopes.

When? -When they matched the horoscopes.

With Mom.

You know the horoscopes match.

Call Amruta and tell him.

Not now.

It is so late... -It is not late...

Not now.

Donga...

The horoscopes match, don't they?

Yes.

Amruta's and yours match perfectly.

Amruta's and my mother's horoscopes

Match or not?

We...

Aunty...

And I... We went to him.

We did go.

To Acharya Alaukik.

According to him...

Their horoscopes...

Don't match...

But...

Amruta, I apologise to you on behalf of my family as well.

My mother lied.

No, I...

Mom, please...

Let me speak.

Amruta, you don't deserve what has happened to you.

But...

But that is how mothers are.

They will go to lengths for their children.

All she ever wanted was...

That I should get married.

Right?

Yet...

She has no right to do injustice to you.

My mother is wrong.

My...

My own family...

They lied to me.

I forged the horoscope.

Forgive me.

I was wrong.

You know why?

I always wished for...

I always wanted a sweet daughter.

You have fulfilled that wish.

Will you fulfil one more wish of mine?

Why did you lie to me?

And you are a teacher!

I am a teacher, so what?

I think we take our professions too seriously.

I mean...

Teachers must always be truthful.

Doctors should never take a day off.

The police should be on duty at all hours. Without even thinking of their own family.

Why did you lie?

I had no choice.

I wanted a girl for Jitu with the 'Tritil Yog'

You spilled the coffee... Now I get it!

Finally your condition was met...

So you neglected my condition.

I told you.

I didn't have a choice.

Do you know how difficult it is to find a match for a boy?

I don't know what has happened to the girls these days.

They don't even realise that they too are getting old in the bargain.

Because they are so stubborn even the boys...

Don't find a match at the right age.

Jitu is 34 years old.

I was suffering.

What about the girls' families who have been suffering forever?

'Can the girl speak?'

'Show us, can you walk?'

'Did you prepare the pohe? Hope you can cook.'

What has actually happened is...

The tables...

Have turned.

You are right.

But Amruta...

All mothers-in-law are not obstinate.

Some of them are kind.

Look...

Even if our horoscopes did not match...

Does not mean we won't get along very well.

Have you realised this once your condition was met?

Then listen.

This mole...

This is not real.

I put it on every day.

Because Sunanda aunty had a mole on her cheek.

Never mind.

Even if my condition is not met...

My condition is no longer important.

It is far more important for me that you are a part of my life.

Sorry.

I won't be.

Don't go, my dear.

You have lost this game.

[Music]

"The bond ends...

"The knot is untied..."

"The bond ends...

"The knot is untied..."

"We're no longer together..."

"And our paths diverge..."

"How do I walk this path all alone..."

"The game we played... Remains unfinished..."

"The words fall silent but the ache lingers on..."

[Music]

"The bonds of the heart come undone in a moment..."

"All we're left with are bitter memories..."

"How far can one run from oneself?"

"How much can this tangled heart be untied?"

"How long will those lingering moments continue to sway within me?"

"The bond ends...

"The knot is untied..."

"We're no longer together..."

"And our paths diverge..."

"How do I walk this path all alone..."

May you always succeed!

Mom...

Bye...

Aruna...

Jitu is leaving for Dubai.

Knock-Knock!

I'm back.

With your favourite show that is...

'Natyancha Funda' with Gupshup Queen

I have a new poem for you.

Obviously...

You have to tell me the last line of the poem.

Listen to the poem...

At times it is a beautiful embroidery...

At times the seams come off.

At times the heart is weary of relationships...

At times it yearns for it.

At times you want to hold the hand and walk the path...

At times you want to turn your back...

And break the bond.

But one craves these bonds in this lone life...

Dash-dash-dash-dash

You have to complete the next line of this poem.

Don't waste time and call me and tell me the next line of this poem.

Come on, call me quickly.

You already know the number

I am waiting.

[Phone ringing]

Hello, what is the last line?

Sandhya Bhambare speaking.

Tell me Sandhya.

What is your last line?

Forget the last line.

Tell me, Gupshup Queen.

You are at loggerheads with your own mother-in-law.

You left your husband, family and mother-in-law two days ago.

And you are reciting poems to us about relationships?

Listen...

You tell me the last line of the poem.

You answer my question first.

Answer me...

I am sorry.

I can't hear her voice.

Let's go to the next phone call.

Hello.

The last call that you had... Is it all true?

If it is true, then the girls of today's society...

Only talk big. They cannot stick to their words.

Did you hear that?

This is the real world.

They will preach to the world...

But they themselves don't know how to behave.

Hello, do you know anything about her?

She was tricked into getting married.

Don't talk about things you don't know.

Sorry.

But I will tell you one thing.

People like you are called double faced.

Stop it.

Let's go to the next phone call.

Hello.

And daughters-in-law!

Let's not even talk about them.

They are always finding faults with their mother-in-law.

Gupshup Queen. You should be a good daughter-in-law first.

And then preach to the world.

You've been married for barely 15 days.

Why have you gone back to your parents' home?

Answer me.

Amruta.

Amruta.

Amruta.

See, I can understand.

But please, don't leave the show half way.

Shruti, I won't be able to do it.

Please ask someone else to do it.

You know that it is not possible, Amruta.

We get the sponsors for you.

No, Shruti.

You can very well fire me.

Amruta.

Amruta.

Let's move.

I am Aruna Karekar.

The mother-in-law of your Gupshup Queen.

The way you have trolled her...

I couldn't bear it. That's why I am here.

To talk to you.

Tell me.

Did anyone of you ever ask Amruta...

Why did you behave like this?

No.

Because our society no longer has time to understand the other person.

Everyone wants to voice their own opinions.

No one cares about how it hurts the other person.

Yes.

Amruta left our house two days ago.

But whose fault is it?

I am ready to tell the whole world.

The fault is mine.

Amruta is a wonderful daughter-in-law.

I am the one who has fallen short.

Neither the mother-in-law nor the daughter-in-law...

Is always right...

Or always wrong.

The age at which one becomes a mother-in-law...

Is about 50 years old.

The people that we have met in these 50 years...

The experiences that we have had...

The maturity that comes from all of that...

We expect that maturity from a daughter-in-law who is only 25.

That is the real folly.

Mothers-in-law should remember the time when they were a daughter-in-law.

Your mother-in-law had troubled you a lot.

Those are the stories you tell your children.

Today when you have a daughter-in-law...

Why do you behave like a mother-in-law?

I believe if the mother-in-law shuts up in the fight with her daughter-in-law...

There will be a 70% decrease in such fights.

[Laughs]

I know, not all mothers-in-law are like this.

Some mothers-in-law love more than their mother.

But many mothers-in-law can't keep quiet.

The reason for that is...

After so many years of experience... We still have one thing stuck in our mind.

To hold on tightly to the reins of the household.

No, I won't say that it is wrong.

Because it is our world.

But when we hand it over to our daughter-in-law...

She deserves freedom along with that responsibility.

And what is the relation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law?

If you ask me, the relationship between a mother and daughter-in-law...

Is like a cup and saucer.

The daughter-in-law is the cup...

The mother-in-law a saucer.

If it spills over from the cup, the saucer must gather it.

But that doesn't mean that the cup must keep spilling over.

The cup is held by the ear...

And the saucer bears the weight of the cup.

Those who understand this... Have a wonderful family life.

[Sighs]

Well...

Now I will play one of Amruta's favourite songs.

Every day, Amruta plays your favourite songs...

Did you ever ask her favourite song?

[Song playing on Radio]

[Crying]

Jitu...

Forgive me. - Mom.

I have wronged you.

I am a bad mother.

I am a very bad mother.

[Applause]

Look...

You are not a bad mother.

Mom, let's go home.

Can't you be a strong mother-in-law?

Your daughter is acting up.

But you didn't try to school her?

Tell me.

Why did you give up, Mom?

Tell me.

Let's go.

Jitu and I must enter the house again.

Let's go. Hurry up.

Mom, you've won.

I lost.

I have realised...

I was not afraid of my mother-in-law.

I was afraid of the stereotype of a mother-in-law.

A mother and daughter-in-law are like a cup and saucer.

I know it now, Mom.

Yes, but...

The daughter-in-law's husband...

The mother-in-law's son...

Is like the tea that flows from the cup to saucer...

Without him this relationship is meaningless.

That's important too, isn't it?

True.

I am sorry, Mom.

No...

I am sorry.

I made a mistake.

No...

"What an odd pair..."

Sorry.

"A pair of cup and saucer..."

"What a lovely pair...!"

"A pair of cup and saucer..."

"Steaming hot..."

"Sips of love..."

"Drink too fast and it'll burn your lips..."

"This scathing pair..."

"Cup and saucer..."

Chhoo- Mantar.

Every person in this Karekar will remember this forever.

A very special entry into the house.

Applause.

Wait...

First, the 'ukhana'

Oh, God! -[Laughs]

No...

No 'ukhana'.

Aruna...

You finish Amruta's poem.

[Laughs]

Wow! Great!

Dad...

At times you want to hold the hand and walk the path...

At times you want to turn your back... And break the bond.

But one craves these bonds in this lone life...

You have to forgive and move forward.

Without clinging to wounds of the past.

Nice. Wonderful. -[Applause]

Some say that a mother-in-law is a an enemy for a lifetime.

But, my mother-in-law is...

My mother...
