Original subtitles

You tell me, sir.

If a man and a woman have a child,

do they both have rights to it, or just the woman?

No, both parents do.

Then tell me, what exactly is the case?

That is the case.

My neighbour Chaudhary sold the child for 1.5Lacs.

And that rascal didn't give me a single penny!

You mean he sold the child? - Yes.

Then who are the child's parents?

Well, the child's mother

is Chaudhary's cow, Lalita,

and the child's father

is my bull, Moti.

So what do you want me to do for you now?

A DNA test for the calf.

You just need to get a court order.

Man, poor Kataria...

The kind of cases he has to hear just to keep the house running.

The poor guy's really struggling.

And I hear

he even took out a loan to send his daughter to Mumbai to study.

He's got some nerve, brother.

Tripathi, what if...

What if we dump Tyagi's mess

in Kataria's lap?

Kill two birds with one stone.

Brother, it'll save your life.

And it'll do him some good too.

You've got a point.

Should I get to work?

Go ahead.

All the best.

How are you doing, Mr. Kataria?

New place,

same old situation.

I hear you're taking on some big-shot cases now.

Hang on.

Pushpender Tyagi.

He needs a lawyer.

I'd take him on myself, but you know... bandwidth.

So I thought, why not send him your way?

It'll be good for you too.

At least you won't have to put up with this circus anymore.

All right? Shall I leave?

All right, Mr. Tripathi.

(Sanskrit chants)

(Sanskrit chants continues)

Mrs. Sharma isn't coming to the kitty party anymore.

Yeah.

Don't you know? Her daughter-in-law

is divorcing her son, you idiot.

She won't be living with them anymore...

What a shot! - Grandpa!

Quiet. Quiet.

Priest, sorry.

Sorry.

Someone shut off the motor!

Bunty!

Bunty!

Priest...

'Brilliant fielding!'

I told you to keep the puja to one day.

But no, it had to be five days.

Why are we even doing this puja?

For the well-being of the men in this family. Do you see any here?

Well, I'm back from court, aren't I?

Where's Ajay?

I sent him to bring Bunty down.

Looks like Bunty's kept him busy upstairs. Go check.

Hey, Bunty! - Six!

Grandpa...

Grandpa...

Yes? - Quiet.

Sorry. Last over.

Captain Visfot.

These magazines, these comics...

They were the reels of our generation.

Come on, Uncle!

You're hoarding a comic you rented!

Hey, Bunty! Can't you hear me?

Dad, you lecture us so much,

and you used to read stolen comics yourself.

Hey...

Where did this come from?

Naina kept it safe, brother.

Show me, show me.

Show me Agniveer. - Agniveer.

Oh, yeah. Your favorite.

Wow, what great entertainment!

Brother, I am glad you invited US over for the puja.

Our whole childhood is right here.

Yeah.

I'll be right back.

Hey...

Show me that one too.

Hi, Ishita.

Your jhumkas are slapping!

Thanks, Bunty.

Ishita, don't call me Bunty.

It's Bharat.

Really?

But doesn't everyone at home call you Bunty?

Oh, that's just a pet name...

Though if you're saying it affectionately, then...

Bharat, dear.

I've been calling you forever.

Mom, Uncle was showing me Captain Visfot.

Oh, really?

Come on.

Aunty, I cut this fabric for the kurta.

Yes, dear. Go ahead.

Would you come with me for a moment?

Go change out of those dirty clothes.

Put on a kurta-pajama

and join the puja.

Beta, this has to go tomorrow. - Yeah.

Okay.

(Sanskrit chants)

(Sanskrit chants continue)

(Sanskrit chants continue)

(Sanskrit chants continue)

Hail Goddess Lakshmi.

(Sanskrit chants) - Father...

(Sanskrit chants)

Dad...

Don't send me to school today.

My slipper is broken.

Look, Dad. Look.

Father, there's no school today.

It is?

Really?

Go on inside and get some rest.

Okay.

Come on, I'll put you to bed.

(Sanskrit chants)

(Sanskrit chants)

(Sanskrit chants continue)

Sushma...

Does the girl who works for you come every day?

Yes, that's how I've been able to get more clients.

She's a very hardworking girl.

Tea!

Coming!

Judging by her clothes, she seems to come from a good family.

Yes, she lives just down the lane. She's very smart.

There was a wedding in the neighborhood.

She saw someone wearing a blouse I'd designed

and said she wanted to learn from me.

Oh, that's great.

Aunty... - Yes?

I stitched it like this.

Is it right? - Yes.

Very good. It's just like my design.

Very good, dear.

Excuse me.

Excuse...

You know what, guys?

Sometimes war is low-key necessary.

I mean, if you give every

hostile country a free pass, they'll walk all over you.

And push even further.

You can't let hostile regimes do whatever they want.

And a foreign superpower decides whether a regime is hostile or not?

What about a country's sovereignty?

What are you talking about, Tina? Come on.

Countries don't have besties.

They have agendas. Okay?

Bombs don't distinguish between

innocent children and dictators, you know.

At the end of the day,

only power keeps the whole system

from going completely off the rails.

What do you think, Naina?

Me?

I think, uh...

I think topics like these, uh...

Boom!

Another bomb went off while you were thinking.

Shut up.

The vibe is getting very dull here.

Let's go to Taj for dinner.

You're right.

Let's plan.

But I'm really hungry right now.

I'm just craving a good vada with chutney right now.

Vada? - Vada?

Yeah. - Really?

Anyone wants to join?

I'll join.

You two can carry on with your fight.

Thanks for saving me.

Otherwise, I'd have had to borrow money.

I had so much to say.

On one side, they're talking about geopolitics, on the other, ideology.

And who's suffering in between?

Civilians like us.

Then why didn't you say it?

My mind just freezes when I'm translating Hindi into English.

Why do you translate?

Say what comes to you naturally.

Because if I answer these British brats in Hindi,

they'll judge me, Mr. Kevin.

Just answer them first.

Let them decide if they want to judge or not.

Like right now, I'm judging this chutney.

A little more chutney, please.

First, bring your feet together.

Ground down from your feet.

Now, you must...

It has a terrace too...

That's great!

How do I convince brother?

Crispy, crunchy Ram Laddus!

Does that Ram Laddu vendor still come around?

Ajay, get out of your flashbacks

and think about your future.

You need to get Aman settled and expand the shop.

Yes, yes.

You need to talk to your brother. You still haven't, have you?

I'll do it. - Another day gone by.

I'll do it. I'll do it.

Naina called.

She said she needs some more money.

We just sent her money on the first.

Mumbai is an expensive city.

Ten thousand rupees a month must not be enough for her.

I told her from the start,

she could've done her post-graduation here.

But no. We had to take out a loan because of all this.

If she studies at a good college,

she'll get a good job too, won't she?

What's so special about Mumbai?

What does it have that we don't have here?

How would I know?

I never got the chance to go there.

If I had, maybe I'd be in Mumbai today,

working as a designer.

Don't worry. Look...

I got a payment of five thousand today.

Send that to her.

You've handled everything until now, haven't you?

Now, at least I can help you out a little every month.

Look, I'll manage.

Don't worry. I have a meeting with an important client tomorrow.

If that works out, all our money troubles will be over.

Everything will be fine.

Don't worry.

You and I are a team.

Just let me help you this time.

Hmm?

Okay.

Then do me a little favor.

Make me some tea.

Please?

I'll get it.

I don't know about Dad and Uncle,

but it sure worked out for me.

Ishita came into my life.

You know, when she's around, Mom doesn't even miss you.

Can you talk about something other than Ishita for once?

She's a better all-rounder than Maxwell.

From fashion to media,

and from media to current affairs...

Bunty, just hang up.

I'm already stressed about my term paper.

You worry too much.

What's the worst that could happen? You'll fail.

If you can't be good-looking, at least be good at talking, Bunty!

What do you know about the pressure of studying?

Sis, you've only ever seen success.

Look at me.

I've seen so many failures

that the day I finally see success,

I'll dance naked all over Ghaziabad!

You'll dance naked?

Sure you will.

Is that Naina on the phone?

Give it here, let me talk.

Hello? Nonu.

Hello, Mom.

I spoke to Dad.

He'll transfer the money to your account.

Don't worry, okay?

Thank you, Mom.

And...

I'm sorry. I know I spent a little too much this month.

But I'll be more careful next time.

It's okay, dear.

It's all for you anyway.

Just take care of yourself.

You soaked your almonds, right?

Just focus on your studies.

Okay?

Okay? We'll talk tomorrow morning.

Bye, dear.

Yes, Bharat. Go ahead.

Hello?

Yes, Bharat. Go ahead.

Sorry, sir, for calling so late.

I wanted to ask...

I gave the RCC trials...

When will the results be out?

These things take time.

Just focus on your game.

Keep playing well,

and your chance will come sooner or later.

Not sooner or later, sir.

I need it to happen this season.

Please put in a word for me.

Yes, son.

I've made plenty of careers.

I'll make yours too.

Don't worry.

Okay, sir.

But please, do something.

Okay, fine. All right. - Okay.

Mr. Tyagi...

I'm here to see Mr. Tyagi.

Yes, he's over there.

No, no, no.

Look, brother.

If I forgive you for God's sake,

God won't forgive me.

Listen...

My men are asking you nicely to leave.

So leave.

Otherwise, do you really want to be dragged out with your wife?

Talk to Bholu.

Mr. Kataria.

Mr. Tripathi has spoken very highly of you.

Mr. Kataria, I've got a little problem.

Please, tell me.

I own a piece of land.

Some people have encroached on it.

I just need them evicted.

All right. Where is this land located?

Right here, near Jewar Airport, in Rabupura.

The land legally belongs to me,

but look, they still won't leave.

It's an open-and-shut case, sir.

This... this is the file.

Everything's in there.

Mr. Kataria, this has to be done.

Right?

Here you go, sir.

Your five-day puja has now concluded.

And from now on, all the men of the Kataria family

are free from any

unfavorable planetary influences.

Come on, touch the priest's feet.

May you be blessed.

Here's the man of the house.

Priest, bless my son too.

May he be victorious.

Priest...

May you prosper.

While I pack up the puja items,

why don't you get me a nice, hot cup of tea?

And after giving me my offering,

you can send me on my way.

Why just tea? We'll get you some samosas too.

I'll get it.

I'll get the bag right away. - Yes, get it.

Ajay, here. Take this.

Brother...

I need to talk to you about something important.

Don't start something on your way out.

Just eat and leave!

Brother, at least hear what he has to say.

I know what he's going to say.

He's my younger brother.

I can read his face. I know what's on his mind.

Sir, my offering.

If you can read my face, why not hear me out?

No, I don't want to hear it.

And mind how you talk to me!

I'm not some employee at your shop.

Sir, please give me my offering.

Priest, please stay. Have your tea first.

And I'm not some criminal in your courtroom!

Priest, what kind of peace ritual was that?

Pack up your sermons and commentary

and get out of my house.

Your house? - Yes!

This is our house too, brother. Don't forget that!

As if you'd ever let me forget.

What surprises me is...

What's going on?

...you've been staying here for the past five days...

and you haven't brought it up even once.

But what's the matter?

Does he even let me bring it up?

Calm down.

You blow everything out of proportion.

What am I blowing out of proportion?

Calm down. - Just calm down!

Sir! My offering! - My...

I've run out of patience!

Breaking news! - Listen to me.

Enough.

Several areas in South Ghaziabad

are facing flood-like conditions.

Ajay, our house... - Following heavy rainfall

in the region, water from the dam has been released.

It's flooded.

What?

Causing the Yamuna's water level to rise.

Authorities say it could take up to a month

for things to return to normal.

Residents have been advised

to move to safer locations.

'Looks like they'll be living under one roof for who knows how long.'

'And the bickering begins.'

Come on, serve breakfast.

Give it to me.

Here.

Here, you have it.

No, you eat. You eat.

Tea...

I don't want any.

You drink it.

Brother, call out to Bunty. He's been in the bathroom forever.

He'll come out after emptying the whole tank.

Hey, Bunty!

Bunty, come out!

Mr. Lawyer,

I don't understand how someone who doesn't get heard at home

ever gets heard in court.

Don't even get me started on you listening.

What do you even hear?

Yes, give it to me.

It's time for his medicine.

I'll get you another.

Dad, you eat. - Yes, thank you.

Bless you.

Alka, bring some butter, please. These paranthas are so dry.

Hey, serve me some breakfast. I'm getting late!

Dad, we're out of shampoo.

Ajay, we're out of butter.

We're out of gas.

I'll get the gas cylinder, Sushma.

And other things too.

Ajay, son,

get my glasses fixed, will you?

Okay. - Thank you, son.

Now, most of you have done

a pretty decent job with the term paper.

But, if you want to make it here,

decent won't be good enough.

Good luck with your internship.

All of you can leave now.

Naina, stay back.

Look at this.

Passion refers to strong inclination

towards activities, ideas or goals

that inspire dedication and sustained effort.

While identity encompasses

the values, beliefs and experiences.

Is that you or is that AI?

Sorry, ma'am. I used AI

to correct my grammar and phrasing.

See, Naina. I am not against AI.

But in this copy-paste world,

if there is one thing that will set you apart,

then that's your voice.

The one that used to be distinct once.

Don't lose that to AI.

I hope I am clear, Naina.

Yes, ma'am.

Now write this term paper again.

And bring it back after the semester break, please.

I've never felt this lost in my life.

I wasn't this average.

This out of place.

Kevin, you know,

Dad took a loan to send me here to study.

And he's paying the rent for my PG.

And my term paper was so bad!

I don't know what to do, Kevin.

What am I going to tell my parents?

You know, Naina, when you're lost,

you know what you should do?

Eat a vada pav?

Another one?

You can do that too.

But... - Thank you.

when I don't know what to do,

when my mind is overwhelmed,

I go to... - Therapy?

Correct.

I go home.

Naina, you've been here for a year.

You obviously need that

Vitamin H.

So much brightness.

I'll go home...

What will you do without me?

Me?

I'll just continue with my research gig

with that senior journalist.

Besides, you already know,

there's nothing like getting paid work during the summer break.

Oh, yes, yes, sir.

I'll convince my elder brother.

Now, just give me some time.

Yes?

Yes.

Okay, fine.

Yes.

Hello? Hello?

I can't hear you, sir.

I'll call you back.

Everything good, Ajay?

Yes? All good, brother.

Hello?

Keep all the paperwork ready.

Yes.

Of course we need parking!

We agreed on five floors, not four, didn't we?

Is he refusing to build five floors?

Tell him we'll talk to someone else.

Yes.

So?

Yes, yes.

Uncle... - I'll call you back.

Yes... - Put on some good songs on TV.

There aren't any good songs on right now.

There's that request-song program coming on tonight, right?

Chitrahaar.

Uncle, change the channel on the TV.

There must be some good songs playing somewhere, right?

TV?

Where's the TV?

This is a radio, isn't it?

We're ordinary people. Where would we get a TV from?

Everyone in this house is crazy.

You're absolutely right, Uncle.

She is crazy.

People like us,

how could we afford a TV? - Yes.

This is just a radio. - That's what I said. It's a radio.

Come, let's sit together and listen to some songs.

Yes.

Bunty!

Bunty...

Potatoes, onions...

Coriander, chilies, and yes...

Soybean oil.

Make sure you get King's oil because it has...

Yes, I know, Mom.

Omega-3, Omega-6, and it's economical.

It goes through extensive quality checks.

If only you'd put this much effort into your studies...

Bunty...

Yes. - Along with the tomatoes...

I'll get the coriander and chilies for free. - Okay.

Come back soon. - Okay.

The water tank is full.

Please switch off the motor.

Someone, turn off the motor!

The water tank is full.

Please switch off the motor.

Alka!

Coming, Sushma.

Oh, yes, yes.

I've put the lentils on. Keep an eye on them.

I have two orders today.

They're very urgent. - Yes, yes.

Yes, what were you saying?

What? Diabetes?

That's why I keep telling you to take care of your health.

You should do yoga. I sent you a reel, remember?

You're really good at cutting.

Thanks.

But I don't understand.

You could have worked at the top designer studios.

And here you are in this four-by-four-foot room...

You're not here because of me, are you?

Oh, hello!

The world's biggest designers

started out in four-by-four rooms.

Real talent is hidden right here...

Bunty!

It's ready. Move!

Give her the order.

Sushma, you should really open your own proper boutique now.

I've been telling aunty that for ages. Ask her.

I barely have any free time as it is.

Do come again. - Yes.

Okay.

This one goes tomorrow.

You know that, right? - Yes, I'm on it.

Come on.

Come on, come on!

I'm coming, Mom. I'm coming.

Let's go.

Come on! - I'm coming, Mom.

Yes, she takes online classes.

You can comfortably do yoga at home.

Hey, Alka! Did the dal burn?

I'll call you back.

No, Sushma, I've checked.

Sushma, you know...

Aman's holidays are starting.

So he's coming.

When we booked the flight, we didn't think the house would

be flooded. - Yes.

It won't be a problem for you, will it?

No, it's not a problem.

Aman is family too.

It'll be nice to have everyone together.

It would've been so nice if Nonu were here too.

Then let's do one thing. We can call her too.

No.

Not yet. Let her focus on her studies.

Right?

I want it taken in from here.

From here?

Okay.

And make it one inch longer.

Okay.

And I don't want the neckline to be too deep.

Okay. About this much.

This much. This deep? Here?

Yes. - Okay. Sure.

I'll have it ready in three days. - Okay.

Thank you.

If they ever make a biopic about me,

the writer won't have to do any work.

It's all here.

A mother who runs a sewing business.

An honest lawyer for a father.

And a...

And this villain in my life.

Why isn't Mom answering?

Ugh! It took you a whole year to figure out

that we don't answer your calls!

Mom is busy.

She's gone crazy juggling the kitchen and the boutique.

Why?

Didn't you say Mom had hired

some silly little assistant?

Hi, Naina Di.

Hi, Ishita.

Did Bharat put the phone on speaker?

So, how's it going working with Mom?

It's wonderful. Your mom is a really good designer.

That she is.

Bharat, take the phone off speaker.

What did you want?

Are you crazy? Don't you have any sense?

You put the phone on speaker

in front of a third person!

I'll talk to Mom about whatever I need to now!

Hang up!

Idiot.

Darn moron.

She's a little crazy.

Don't mind her.

Is she crazy, or are you?

I'm crazy about you, though.

Bunty, shut up.

Aunty...

Go get Mom.

I'm going.

Oh, Mr. Kataria.

You didn't come.

I... - I've been waiting for you.

Mr. Tyagi, I... - Here, take this.

What's this?

A gift for you.

And some files related to the case.

I don't understand. What's this about?

Mr. Kataria, you need everything spelled out for you.

There's some money in here.

Some new clothes for your family,

and just take care of the mess with my case.

Here, take it. - Mr. Tyagi...

I haven't even started working on your case yet...

Bholu! - Bholu!

Bholu! - Bholu!

Bholu!

Bholu, you idiot!

Are you scaring him?

I'm going to have to take you to the doctor.

Don't be scared. He's always like this.

Mr. Kataria, take it.

Take it. - Oh...

Keep it safe.

And keep this case out of court.

The moment I hear the word "court,"

my heart starts racing.

Take it!

Mr. Kataria, take it.

Let's go!

You're back?

This...

It's not ours. It's someone else's. I have to pass it on.

Yes.

Go freshen up. I'll bring you tea.

Yes, bring it.

Come on, have your tea. It's getting cold.

Great, Bhabhi

You made tea.

And we brought jalebis and pakodas.

Here, I'll serve them. - Yes, go ahead.

Brother, I'll say one thing.

There's something about the places we grow up in...

Even the little streets and lanes feel so familiar.

Don't they?

There's one more thing.

They don't flood either.

I ran into Mittal at the market today.

Who?

Madan Mittal. Wasn't he in my class?

We used to call him Dhanu.

Yes.

He's really made it big.

Dad, I'm going to the floodlight tournament.

He moved to Bangalore.

And he had this house redeveloped by a builder.

They've put up such a great five-story building, brother.

With basement parking.

He's living the good life now.

Sushma, give me some tea. It's completely cold.

Give me a fresh cup.

Forget the tea and snacks and just listen to me.

I'm hungry. I'll have my tea and snacks first!

Go on, eat.

Brother, have this hot tea. - Yes, thank you.

Listen to him while you drink your tea.

Alka...

I don't want to sell this house.

Brother, who's asking you to sell it?

We're not selling it.

We're going to redevelop it.

Come on, both families can live together.

I don't understand your schemes, man.

A mattress free with a bed.

Buy one, get one free.

Redevelopment free with a house.

Then let's talk about your schemes.

Poverty with free tension.

Stubbornness with free fights.

Ajay...

If Dad had put him in his place when he was younger,

he'd know how to talk to his elder brother.

Teach him some manners! - Enough!

It's because of this stubbornness that you're struggling financially!

You've held the whole family back.

And you can't do anything for your family.

Your daughter is studying in Mumbai.

Your son will study further, he'll play too.

Fine, forget that. Look at the state of this house.

Three Diwalis have gone by,

and you couldn't even fix these little things!

That's enough! Shut up! - Ajay...

What are you even saying?

Bhabhi, someone has to say it someday!

Ajay...

Just because you ignore a problem doesn't mean it'll go away.

Ajay...

The moment you face it,

it'll still be right there.

Take your money.

And don't ever say that we're struggling financially!

Naina?

It's done now.

I lost my temper.

You heard the rubbish Ajay was talking, didn't you?

I'm used to your anger, and so is everyone else.

But what you said, that the money belongs to someone else, and now...

Well...

Could you make me some tea?

My head is killing me.

You probably think I'm only good enough to make you a cup of tea.

Don't you?

The water tank is full.

Please turn off the motor.

The water tank is full.

Please...

Hey, Ishita!

Where's Ishita?

"Where's Ishita? Where's Ishita?"

"Ishita? Ishita? Where's Ishita?"

Are you crazy?

The bathroom's free.

Nonu, Bunty, one of you go take a shower!

No, I'll go first... Me! Me!

No, you're not going. I'm going first today! Move!

Let go of me.

Bunty!

Hey! Let go of me!

Wait! You went yesterday too!

Wait! Please! Bunty, please.

Bunty!

Please, let me go.

Bunty...

Bunty!

Mom!

What's going on?

What's going on? - He threw water on me.

Bunty, you...

Bunty!

Get out. Come out, I'll teach you a lesson!

It's okay.

You sit down over there.

Please throw this brat out of the house. - It's alright.

I'll get you some hot parathas. You sit down.

"While raising your arms, try to touch

your ears with your biceps."

Mom, what's wrong with Aunt?

She's doing yoga.

So how come you suddenly came home?

And what about the ticket?

Savings, Mom.

The money you send me every month,

I used some of it to book my ticket

and saved the rest for Dad's gift.

My Nonu has grown up.

Had you told me, I'd have made your favorite kheer.

That's alright.

Mom, what happened to Dad yesterday?

Nothing. Why are you worrying?

It's a family. There are bound to be arguments, right?

Take the lunchbox, or he'll be late. Go.

Good morning, brother.

Good morning.

Your parantha is ready.

He's waiting. - Looks yummy. I'll take it.

I'll bring some more. You go sit outside.

Okay.

Dad.

Your lunchbox.

Are you settling in Mumbai?

Yes, Dad. It's great.

And...

How's the internship going?

Are you on semester break?

Yes, Dad. I'm working on

some research for my term paper.

I'm not interning right now.

Okay.

Okay, Dad. Bye.

Aunt!

Oh, my boy! - Mother!

Bunty! - You're finally here!

You've gotten so thin.

Stop embarrassing me, Mother. - What's going on?

Aunty, it's so lovely to see you.

Bless you. - How are you, Aunt?

Good... - Listen!

The Britisher is here!

Oh... - Simon, go back!

Simon, go back!

Simon, go back!

Simon, go back!

Uncle... - Simon, go back!

Simon, go... - Fix your machine.

He's not Simon. Look, it's our Aman.

Touch his feet, son. - Aman?

Blessings, Uncle.

Bless you, son.

Mom, can you get me something to drink, please?

Well...

Bhabhi, get him something

Sister! - Aman!

How are you, my brother? - Good, good. How are you?

Showing off that accent, huh?

Why are you stepping on his feet? - Bunty...

Bro, what are you wearing?

Bro, please.

Bro went from a scruff to a proper gentleman.

Yeah, just hear his accent.

Yeah, just look at him.

It's nothing like that. - Bunty.

Will you please call aunty?

I'll get her.

Oh, hello.

Hello.

Hi, I'm Aman, from London. Kensington.

Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

You must be...

Ishita.

Parmar!

Bharat Kataria's friend.

Nice to meet you, Ishita.

Nice to meet you.

I'll see you around.

Excuse me, dear.

Juice.

Mom, I wanted matcha.

What would you like, son?

It's fine, I'll order it.

Tell me what you want.

Is Aunty busy? - Yes.

Sushma, I was saying...

Has Uncle been like this for a while?

Look at him. He's saying all sorts of things, mumbling to himself.

Dad's getting old.

You know what they say,

when a man gets old, he becomes like a child.

That's what's happening.

Yeah, he's certainly acting like one.

I said green tea!

Why the hell did you bring this herbal juice?

Get lost!

Sir...

See that, Mr. Kataria?

People think you're an idiot just because you have a cute face.

But I'm the Batman of Ghaziabad too!

I'm Batman and you're...

Baahubali.

Barrister Baahubali!

Laugh!

Go on, Mr. Kataria.

Mr. Tyagi, I've read these documents.

According to them,

many people living in the settlement

still have a legal claim to this land in the future.

Really?

Yes.

Are you sure?

That's what the papers say.

Which papers?

Which document?

This one...

Bholu,

have you seen any such document?

No, sir.

Forget all that, Mr. Kataria.

Tell me one thing. The land belongs to me now.

The 40-year lease I gave those poor people

has expired, hasn't it? It's over!

So when are you throwing them out?

When?!

Mr. Tyagi, listen.

We need to...

I mean, we have to send them a notice first, don't we?

You already sent them one.

Come on, Mr. Kataria.

Come on...

I gave you money, didn't I?

You gave one lakh of it to Mr. Pramod at the municipality.

He got the notice put up.

He even took a picture for the record.

And he tore down the notice too.

Mr. Kataria, you forget things awfully quickly.

Sir...

Wait.

Here.

Take Mr. Pramod's number.

And yes...

Go there and meet him once.

And teach him a thing or two

that he'll understand quickly.

Yes.

All right?

The sketch is done.

Looks like my selection is pretty much done too.

Nonu, look at this. These are all the new designs.

Yeah. Look.

Especially this new green one.

It looks beautiful, Mom.

Doesn't it? - You made these?

Who else would have?

These designs? - Yes.

Okay.

Sis, come sit with us. It's so much fun.

This isn't for her.

She'll be bored in ten minutes.

Yeah, Mom, because I have to study.

I have to decide on my term paper topic too.

And then I have to put up with Bunty's nonsense.

Actually, Nonu, could you do me a favor?

It's time for Grandpa's medicine.

It's in the drawer. Give it to him.

It's a little urgent.

Pink would look best.

Mom, which cabinet?

Sis, it should be in the glass cabinet.

Mom, there's nothing here.

Look near the curtain.

It should be on the second shelf, inside a box.

Mom, which one?

There are so many here.

Sis, not the white one. It should be the red one.

"Not the white one. The red one."

What's your problem?

What's her problem?

She's always butting in.

Of course she'll butt in.

She will be the daughter-in-law of this house.

Bunty, you have to pick out the gift.

And Aman, you have to pick the cake. Okay?

Remember that.

Oh, most important.

No one wishes Uncle until tomorrow.

He should think we've forgotten. Okay?

Okay, okay.

That's brutal, but beautiful.

What's going on?

It's Uncle's birthday tomorrow.

We're planning a surprise party.

Come join us.

Why are you stressing over it?

Because it's her right!

It's only fair she teaches

Aman and me how to plan things. - Yes.

How to plan a surprise. - Yes, yes.

Sis, this surprise needed a woman's gentle touch.

Hmm, gentle touch.

Anyway,

we need to stop Mom, or she'll start with the birthday wishes at 6 a.m.

I'll handle aunty, that's not a problem.

I'll tell you two what needs to be done.

Absolutely.

Okay. So who's getting the balloons?

I'll get them. - I'll get it.

Then who's doing the decorations?

I'll do it. - I'll do it.

You're both doing both?

Yes. Why not? - Anything for you.

Guys, just decide who's doing it.

Me. - Tell me, I'll do it.

I'll do it. - Is there anything else?

I'll do it. I'll do it.

I don't know.

The house feels different this time.

What do you mean, different?

Was it renovated?

No.

How do I explain?

Remember I told you about this girl, Ishita?

She works with Mom at the boutique.

I don't know how, but she's become everyone's favorite in the house.

She's downstairs planning

my own dad's birthday surprise with my brothers

without me!

But Kataria, you're never scared of competition.

Please, there's no competition.

Even if there is...

our Naina here can take them all on.

Did you just call me fat?

You heard that!

But you didn't notice how much better my Hindi is getting.

Not that much. What do you call it?

Just a little, just a little.

Oh, Malayalam.

Anyway, how's your summer job going?

It's not going. It's barely crawling.

But I like this job.

Exploring India one article at a time.

I make enough to afford a chutney sandwich every week.

So it's not that bad.

But why a chutney sandwich?

Go to the canteen and eat something proper.

The canteen food feels so depressing without you.

Canteen food is depressing no matter what.

Not in your company.

Wait, wait, wait.

Did you just tuck your hair behind your ear?

No! What?

No.

Oh, Kataria, don't raise the temperature anymore.

Mumbai's hot as it is.

Kevin, stop.

Okay, bye.

Alright, see you. Bye.

Good morning. - Good morning.

Good morning, brother. - Good morning.

Today...

what is it?

What is it?

I mean...

It's Thursday, right?

Of course, brother.

Yesterday was Wednesday, so today has to be Thursday.

No, you're right.

Today...

Well, today...

It's pretty hot today too.

Oh, Mr. Today!

Why do you keep going on about today?

It's hot every day.

You're right. - Here you go.

Yeah.

Hey, listen... - Yes?

You haven't forgotten anything today, have you? Got everything?

What?

I gave you your wallet, your watch... - I mean...

Today, something... - Oh!

How could I forget?

One minute.

The grocery list. Look at my memory.

Get everything on it, okay?

My milk is boiling.

I'll get it.

Sushma, today the...

kids aren't around.

Kids? - Naina!

No, no, no!

Don't wake Naina.

She was up studying all night.

She's sleeping. Don't wake her, okay?

And Bunty?

Bunty too. I don't know what's gotten into him.

He was up studying all night. Don't wake him either.

He's sleeping today?

Yes.

Okay, fine. So everything's... everything's...

Everything's perfectly normal, so I'll...

I'll get going.

Okay, fine.

I'll leave now.

Yeah, yeah, go on. - Absolutely.

Oh, I forgot one thing.

Yes, brother?

The...

the mason we spoke to about the dampness...

Yes, yes. - He's not coming today. Tomorrow.

Oh, okay, brother. - Okay.

Today! Today!

Is there something today?

This is so spicy!

Hey, tubby!

You used to polish off four plates at a time.

Now you can barely finish one.

Better?

Best!

Boyfriend?

No, no.

Is it five already?

Five! Guys, it's five. Bunty, Aman!

It's five o'clock. Come on, hurry.

We still need the cake and gift.

Ishita and I will get the cake! - Ishita and I will get the cake!

I'll get the cake.

I'll come with you, Ishita.

No, you know what?

You three get the cake together. I'll get the gift by myself.

No, Aman can go with you.

How much is the total?

Bunty, you go with Naina.

Aman, come with me.

Yeah, yeah. Bunty, you go. - Go with her.

We'll get the cake. Don't worry.

See you around, man.

Thanks.

This one looks good. How much is it?

It's 280.

280.

Look at this one, Bunty. How does it look?

It's good. Get it.

You think it looks good?

No, I'm not really feeling this one.

Oh.

Look at this one.

Yeah, get that one. That one's great.

Look at this. Come on, check this one out.

Yeah, that's the best one. Get it.

Bunty, at least look at it!

I am looking.

Looks like that's all I'll be doing.

Look at this one. I really like it.

It's a wallet. It'll be fine. Just pack it up.

At least look at it once... - It'll be fine.

Happy birthday!

May you always be a happy bride.

Come on, dad.

I thought you all would forget.

I almost forgot myself. - Really?

But then the flowers arrived, and I remembered.

Really?

Dad, who's sending you flowers?

Oh, it's one of my clients.

Oh. Lovely Properties?

Yes, yes. Why can't it be?

Dad, forget all that.

How did you like our surprise?

Oh, I loved it.

It was Ishita's idea, Dad.

Whose? - Yes.

Ishita. - Ishita.

No, Uncle. The four of us planned it together.

Thank you, dear.

It was a great idea, truly.

Thank you Aunty.

Brother, a little gift from us.

Thank you, thank you.

A sweater?

Who gets a sweater in summer?

Oh, what a lovely color, brother.

A gift is a gift. Just keep it.

Thank you, thank you.

It's very nice.

Oh, my children!

This is from us, Dad.

Thank you, thank you. - What did you get?

Happy birthday! - Shall I open it?

Open it.

Yes, Dad, it's all yours.

When did you guys leave? I didn't even notice.

Surprise. - Surprise, Mom.

Oh, wow! Look at that. A wallet!

That's a great gift, kids.

Now Dad even has money to put in it.

Nice.

Open it. - Open it.

I'm looking.

Nice wallet. - Wow!

This just broke.

It's fine. It'll still work.

What are you looking at now?

What did I do?

I told you at the shop,

check it properly!

If only you were paying attention!

Why are you talking to him? Talk to me!

You ruined the whole surprise, you idiot!

Don't blame me. - Keep quiet!

Oh, dear...

Oh... - No, Dad, please.

What's the matter?

All that effort for nothing! - No, dear.

It's just the zip. It can be fixed.

Mumbai has spoiled your daughter. - Keep quiet.

Take it easy. - Nonu!

Why is she blaming me?

It's all right.

She'll be fine in a little while.

Tell me, how was Uncle's birthday?

The gift was a flop.

The wallet turned out to be defective.

What?

But that's very on-brand for your family.

This has been a bad day, Kevin.

A really bad day.

Kataria, you know the best thing about a bad day?

It comes to an end.

The sun always rises after the darkest night.

Bravo, bravo!

I'm missing this silly wisdom of yours.

Why aren't you here, Mr. Joseph?

I am here, Kataria. With you.

Oh, go to sleep.

Tomorrow will be much better.

I promise.

Okay. Good night.

Good night.

Kataria, this kachori is way too spicy!

That vada pav was much better.

See?

Come on, help me finish this plate.

Please give me some water.

Yeah, yeah, water.

Why aren't you here, Mr. Joseph?

What?

You're in Ghaziabad?

Kevin, are you really in Ghaziabad?

Yes, Kataria.

You are too, right?

Oh shit...

Yeah... - Please turn off the motor...

Hey, someone turn off the tank.

Who was that?

Nothing, nothing.

Nothing.

Bunty!

Kevin, are you really in Ghaziabad?

Yes, Naina.

Come here quickly now.

There's samosa, chaat, kachori, everything here.

I love it. It's actually spicy.

Yeah, yeah, too spicy for you, I know.

Okay, Kevin, I'll come over.

What are you doing?

What am I doing?

My friend Kelly is in Ghaziabad.

I was talking to her. What else would I be doing?

Why are you standing there? Come on, let's go.

Kelly...

Look, sir, the notice has been sent.

You'll have to vacate the building sooner or later.

We have to vacate?

Why should we vacate, sir?

We have a right to it.

We've been living here for 40 years.

And you're saying we'll have to vacate.

Great!

Mr. Tyagi has legally bought this land.

How could he just buy it?

Who did he buy it from?

I understand your situation,

but the law won't understand, will it?

My husband bought that house, sir.

And he's no longer with us.

Where will I take my child?

Kataria!

Over here! Over here!

Surprise!

What? What are you doing here?

You called me, so I came.

Whatever. When did I ever call you?

"Why aren't you here, Mr. Joseph?"

Well, I'm here now.

Now, I'm your responsibility.

Show me around Ghaziabad.

No, there's not really much to see in Ghaziabad.

Are you sure? - Yeah, yeah.

I feel like there's someone worth seeing.

Okay, forget it. Here, take this.

Thank you.

Come on, show me around. That place looks great for food.

No, no, it's not...

No, no. - It's not... It's not that...

No. Come on, let's go. - Kevin, but...

It's just moisture!

Not an actress you're staring at!

Removing the moisture won't solve the problem.

I think

the wall will have to be rebuilt.

What are you talking about?

Just look at it. See how bad the wall is.

Aunty... - Yes?

Aunty, I've cut both these pieces. They just need stitching.

We have to give Bindra Aunty her blouse on time today.

Oh, I completely forgot.

Ajay, please take care of it and get whatever needs to be done.

I have some very important work. - Okay, Sushma.

Come on, hurry.

So...

Tell me honestly, how many days will it take?

How much work is there?

The wall is in pretty bad shape.

You can see for yourself. - Yes.

Here, here, and all of that.

So, I think

you should count on two weeks, at least.

It'll take two weeks?

It'll take two weeks.

Okay, then.

We'll do the outside first, then the inside.

Okay, shall I start tomorrow?

Yes, start tomorrow. - I didn't go to school today.

What?

Where's my bag?

Please sit down, Uncle.

No, my bag.

Come on, sit down.

I'll get your bag. Sit down.

Sit, sit. Take it easy.

The bag... Where's my bag?

I'll get it for you. - My bag.

Sit. - Get my bag.

You know, in London,

creative professions are highly respected.

You know, art for art's sake.

Yeah, as if we beat up designers around here.

You won't understand. But you know, like,

London has a vibe.

Like music, passion, proper art scenes.

London will be lucky to have you, Ishita.

Oh, oh, "proper art scenes"!

Son, London's vibe has nothing

on the vibe of Ghaziabad. Get it?

Oh, please.

Bunty, why don't you join Ghaziabad Tourism?

Just let me make it to RCC.

The selection results will be out today.

Then they'll make me their brand ambassador themselves.

Son, if you want a selfie, take one now.

Later, security won't let you in.

Mr. Tyagi...

Hey, bring a chair!

Take a breath.

Take a deep breath. Come on, breathe.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Now the mind is at peace.

Tell me.

Mr. Tyagi, I've already sent the notice,

but I feel the people in the settlement have a right to it.

Bholu...

You know

Mr. Kataria has a right too.

To what, sir?

Kataria House.

But his own brother wants to

throw him out of his own home,

in the name of redevelopment.

How do you know that?

I'm in real estate.

You have to keep an eye on the market.

You know who's cutting whose... - Sir.

No swearing after meditation.

How's Sushma's boutique doing?

And your daughter's studies?

I hear Mumbai is a very expensive city.

And on top of that, you've taken out a loan.

You have to repay it.

Look, Mr. Kataria, getting the land vacated is your job.

As for right and wrong,

it's just like inhale and exhale.

Okay.

Would you like a paan?

No, I'm fine.

Oh!

Tuk-tuk?

Yeah, tuk-tuk.

This is all there is to Ghaziabad.

This is all so nice.

I had such a great time.

Taking a break from work was so worth it.

You know, I've actually never spent a day like this with anyone.

Especially with kachori involved.

Same.

What happened?

Are the CID guys following us?

So, you won't invite me home?

She will, of course. - Bunty?

Why wouldn't she?

You?

Bharat Kataria.

Nonu's brother.

Oh.

And aren't you...

Kelly?

Kevin.

Kevin.

Come on, Mr. Kevin.

Welcome to the Kataria family.

You're with the kit, so you'll be heading for practice, right?

So you go, it's okay.

He can come another day. - That's where I'm coming from.

Practice.

Today, it's straight to the test match.

Come in, come in. - No! He has a flight, Bunty.

Come on, come in... - Listen, Kevin!

This is Kevin.

He's visiting from Mumbai.

He's my classmate. We study together.

What's your full name?

Kevin Joseph.

Joseph.

Bun...

Bharat...

Bharat!

Get up!

Thank you, Aunty.

Mom, Nonu is definitely seeing him. - Keep quiet.

He... doesn't he look like that hero?

Who was it...

Tiger Shroff?

Yes.

No, no, no.

No, that...

K. L. Saigal.

Yes.

K. L. Saigal?

Could you stop that for a minute, please?

Ma'am, the longer it runs,

the more it'll cost.

Are you from the South?

Yeah, Kerala.

I really like the banana chips from there.

I love them too.

I... I didn't bring any.

Wicked.

Wicked. Nice, nice, yeah.

You two are in the same class?

Yes, Aunty.

Kataria is one of the brightest in our class.

My Nonu has always been a topper.

Mom...

Yes, Nonu is the only achiever in this house.

The rest of us are just extra players.

Bharat...

Enough with the wisecracks.

Focus more on your batting.

Okay Aunty, I'll get going as I have a flight to catch in the night.

No, no, no.

How can you leave without eating?

It's okay. No problem, Mom.

He can eat here some other time.

No, no, no.

I'll get something right now. Two minutes.

Just two minutes.

Rajendra Kumar!

Yes!

No, Uncle. You just said Baba Sehgal.

Dad...

Me? - Yes.

Here, this is jeera mathri.

Our banana chips.

Thank you, Aunty.

Please have.

Is it good?

It's good.

Good, right? - It's good.

Uncle, Aunty, I'll get going. - Okay.

See you, man.

Okay, Aunty. - Okay.

See you.

Take care.

Bye. - Bye.

Bye. Take care. - Bye, bye.

Bye.

Come on, let's go see.

What a combination...

Ghaziabad and Kerala.

Let's go have some rasam today. - Yes.

Great guy.

Ma'am, by the way, the boy seems pretty good.

Go, do your work.

Mathri, banana chips...

Too good.

Your family is really fun.

Yeah, yeah. Everyone likes the trailer.

Watch the whole movie, then you'll know the story.

I'm very happy I came to Ghaziabad.

You should say it too. "Me too, Kevin Joseph."

What? You're not happy?

No, it's not that.

What happened, Kataria?

Kevin, I don't think we're on the same page regarding this.

It's okay. The page can wait.

See you.

No.

It's fine.

I'll go.

Bye, Kevin.

I liked it.

What?

You brought a friend home for the first time.

That too...

And the boy too.

Yes.

Hello, Sompal sir.

I was waiting for your call.

You didn't call, so I thought I'd call you.

So, what happened with the selection?

Your name isn't even on the shortlist.

What?

The selectors have picked players from the higher levels.

No, sir. Don't say that.

I was counting on you.

I really pulled a lot of strings for you.

But nothing worked out.

Sir, you said I was a sure thing.

How can this be, sir?

I've been slogging away for two years.

What will I do if I don't make it, sir?

Bharat, what can I say?

I think it's just not in your destiny.

No, don't say that, sir.

There has to be a way, sir. There has to be some way around it.

There has to be something.

Please, sir... - What can I say?

Sir, please. Please, please.

There has to be something, sir.

There is one way.

Tell me, sir.

If we can pay off someone in the management,

we might be able to make it happen.

How much? - One lakh.

One...

Sir, one lakh?

How am I supposed to pay one lakh, sir?

How can I even ask my family for that?

Fine, give me 50 now.

Give me the other 50 after you get selected.

Sir, where am I supposed to get that kind of money?

Look, I'm going the extra mile for you here.

Everyone does it.

Talent alone isn't enough.

If you want to play, you'll have to arrange the money.

And by tomorrow.

Fine. If you can arrange the money,

give me a call.

Otherwise, wait another two years.

All right, fine.

You've got some of the work done.

Just leave the ladder here. Take your things.

Come on time tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah, I'll be here.

What happened? How much work is done?

It's nowhere near finished.

Sir, there's moisture inside the wall.

If I'd known beforehand, I wouldn't have taken the job.

Now I'm stuck.

Well, you should've thought about that first.

You're charging 25,000 rupees. You're not doing it for free.

No, brother. Filling it with cement won't fix the walls.

All right, go home for now. Be here on time tomorrow morning.

Go on.

He's right.

Look at the walls. They're completely hollow.

Once we build a new house, we'll have new walls,

without any moisture.

I've just got home and you're starting that again.

You don't want to listen.

Just look at the state of these walls!

They're our walls. We'll deal with them!

Who asked you to worry about them?

Bhabhi said.

All you do is shout all the time.

What's this now?

Does Ajay get to decide everything?

And you spend all day sewing and stitching.

Take care of your home for a change!

I'm doing all this for the home.

You're venting about something else on all of us, aren't you?

No, no.

You're hiding something. Aren't you?

Aren't you?

You'll want some tea now.

Right?

The day I finally see success,

I'll dance naked all over Ghaziabad!

You'll dance naked?

Sure you will.

Bunty, why don't you join Ghaziabad Tourism?

Just let me make it to RCC.

Then they'll make me their brand ambassador themselves.

Talent alone isn't enough.

If you want to play, you'll have to arrange the money.

And by tomorrow.

If you can arrange the money, give me a call.

Otherwise wait for another two years.

She has sat down with the sewing machine in middle of the night.

I told you a week ago.

The suit still isn't ready.

What kind of tailoring is this?

I'll tell everyone in the neighborhood what kind of tailor you are!

Bunty!

I made a mistake too...

Who's making such a racket this early in the morning?

I shouldn't have done it!

I should've gone to better designer. - Here, drink some juice.

Who's making such a racket this early?

It's a customer making a huge fuss this early.

Customer...

What's that bloody noise?

I don't understand...

Hey, go lie down, you little Brit.

Daddy!

If you couldn't do it, you could've called me!

But perhaps you wanted to trouble me.

Isn't it?

Sushma, look, this is really not right.

I have my function today.

I've given you so much...

This is not done, Sushma!

You gave me your word.

You promised me.

Saturday at 7 a.m.

This is not done, Sushma!

Ritu ma'am, just half an hour.

She'd decided she wanted to wear that Kiara-style blouse

to the function.

Now what is she supposed to do?

Listen, dear.

You wanted a blouse like Kiara's, didn't you?

So why did you get Sushma to make it?

Oh, Dad... - What is he talking about?

It's just my dad...

Ritu, I stayed up all night working on your blouse.

Only 30 minutes of work is left.

Just give me 30 minutes.

Sushma, we agreed on 7 o'clock. - That's true.

We have a train to catch, you know.

That too, Rajdhani..AC 2 Tier

I'm sorry, but I want my refund.

Give me my refund.

Good morning, Bindra Auntyy.

Wow! Look at the natural glow on your face.

No, no. You got a facial, didn't you?

Which salon is even open this early in the morning?

It's natural.

Wow! Look at you. - Calling her "Aunty"

and buttering her up?

What's with that, huh?

Enough with the flattery. Just give us our refund.

Yes, give us our refund. - It's okay.

I'll get your money. - Mom, hang on.

What happened? - Aunty...

Sorry, Mrs. Bindra.

What are you doing? - You...

will be catching the train

from Anand Vihar station, right? - Quiet.

Yes. - Hang on.

Move aside. - Let her go. - Mom, hang on.

So you'll take the Indirapuram signal route

to get there. - Yes!

You'll be stuck in traffic for at least 15–20 minutes.

Fine, move, let me go. - Mom, hold on.

And if it's worse, it could take half an hour.

So what?

So just go home,

pack your bags and call a cab.

We'll coordinate with you

and deliver your blouses to you at the Indirapuram signal.

But how will you find us

in that crowd? - Yes!

The same way a pizza delivery guy finds your house.

Just send us your location.

I want that blouse.

Fine, do it.

Okay? Make sure it gets there!

And please make my blouse.

Just 30 minutes. - Okay.

Okay, fine. I have the Rajdhani to catch.

Bye, Aunty Bindra.

She agreed.

Wow! Wow! - He's really grown up.

Your son has become quite sensible.

You've become quite clever!

You guys have turned this place into a circus.

Come on, I've got half an hour.

Help me out, Nonu. Come here.

I spend all day arguing in court

then come home to more commotion.

I can't even get a decent night's sleep!

It's just today. It's not like I have deliveries every day.

You can't have it both ways.

Sooner or later, something has to give.

Whether this boutique works out or not,

our home is bound to suffer.

Dad used to say a good housewife

is like the engine of a home.

You can do whatever else you want,

but taking care of the home is your responsibility.

Don't lecture me about responsibility.

Bhabhi... - Okay?

I came here to get this knife.

I was just... getting some biscuits.

Mr. Tyagi, most of the people don't have any documents.

Some have a few papers, but their documents aren't complete.

But there are three or four people

whose documents are completely in order.

One of them is Durga Kumar, and another...

Speaking of Durga, last year we all went

to Vaishno Devi for Navratri.

Halfway there, my wife and kids started demanding,

"Dad, we want paneer!"

You know how there's no onion or garlic during Navratri.

Yes, fasting food. - Correct.

But the hotel guy didn't get it.

He put garlic and onion in the paneer.

So I put some things

inside him too... - Sir!

No swearing at the court.

It's this heat. I can't think straight.

Go get me a shikanji.

So I gave that hotel guy

a good dose of onion,

and an even bigger dose of garlic...

Poor guy was a complete mess.

Hey!

You take advantage of poor people!

Have you lost it?

Son! Let go! - My dad has every right!

Let go, son.

You son of a...

Quiet.

No, Mr. Tyagi. - I won't spare you!

Mr. Tyagi, I'll talk some sense into him.

Shatru! Iqbal! Come here!

You...

Mr. Tyagi... - Don't spare him!

He's just a child, Mr. Tyagi. - Mr. Kataria, keep quiet!

He needs to be taught a proper lesson.

So, what was I saying?

Yes.

Paneer.

You know how that hotel guy apologized to me?

He brought out a whole jug of buttermilk for me.

Hello, Sompal sir?

It's Bharat. - Who's Bharat?

Just kidding, just kidding.

Go on, tell me.

Go on, Bharat.

Sir, you got the money, right?

You gave it to me, so of course I did.

Okay.

So, sir, did you talk to them? I mean...

When will the seat be confirmed?

My dear Bharat Kohli...

You just focus on your game.

I'll take care of the rest.

Yes, sir. But...

When will you let me know?

Son, these things take time.

You've got to be patient.

Understand?

It'll take a few days.

Just wait a little longer.

Okay, sir, but please let me know soon.

What is it?

Why do you care?

I have work to do. Go outside.

This is my room, okay?

Fine.

Your Ishita will surely become

a daughter-in-law of the Kataria family...

But she will come at another home.

What's going on here?

What's going on in this house?

Bunty, look.

These are Aunty's designs.

They're looking good, right?

They always do.

Shall we proceed the photoshoot? - Hey!

Ishita, these are my mom's designs,

so let me do the photoshoot.

No, no.

We've got it sorted.

Come on, Ishita. I'll do it!

All right, fine.

Why don't you both do it?

Okay, okay.

Okay, pose. - Ishita!

Ishita, look here. - Ishita, pose.

Look here. - Ishita, over here.

Ishita, wait. - Ishita, look here.

Ishita, look here. Yeah, yeah, hold. - Ishita...

Ishita, look here.

Ishita, hold. Yeah, perfect. - Ishita...

Ishita, Ishita... - Look here.

They're both good.

This one's better.

See? Your right profile looks so good here.

Hey!

Stop profiling her!

What?

He doesn't know how to take pictures.

Oh, come on!

In London, your brother's taken

profile shots of practically every girl.

That's all you're good for.

Girls just make you their brother so you'll take their pictures.

Ishi, we're losing the light.

So, we'll lose the...

Oh, yeah! Aman, come on. - Ishita...

Bunty, wait two minutes.

Aman, quickly.

Bunty, just wait two minutes.

Okay? Just wait.

Over there.

Okay?

Aman, quick. - Yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry.

Yeah, lovely, Ishi. Lovely.

Yeah.

Yeah. That's the pose.

This damn father-son duo

is hell-bent on ruining their elder brothers' lives.

Yeah, look here. Look here.

Towards your left.

Perfect. Perfect, Ishi.

Yeah, left, left, left.

What's going on, guys?

Yeah, perfect, perfect. - Naina...

Hi.

Hi.

We are sending Aunty's design in a competition.

Yeah. Look, look. - Nice, huh?

Are all these Mom's designs?

Yeah, this too.

Wow. - Right?

Okay, let's finish this.

Two minutes, Di. - Yeah.

Okay, okay.

Ishi, pose.

Yeah.

Right, right, right profile.

Yeah, smile. Smile.

It'll last another 4-5 years, right?

It looks fine from the outside.

But it's completely hollow on the inside.

It's time to rebuild it, sir.

Don't lecture me!

Just give me the breakdown.

8,000 for cement.

3,000 for wall filler.

8,000 for paint.

6,000 for labor.

And 5,000 for the extra work.

That makes it 30,000.

30,000?

We agreed on 25,000.

What's the extra 5,000 for?

The wall was more hollow than we expected.

5,000 is a huge amount!

What's the extra charge for?

I'll pay it, brother. It's fine.

What do you mean, you'll pay?

You're always so quick to offer to pay!

What are you trying to say?

That I can't afford it?

Let him go. Go on.

Hey...

It's all the same.

I'm just saying I'll pay for it.

You take everything the wrong way...

I know what you're implying.

You want to put me down!

Come on! That's not it at all!

Sir, one of you just pay

and let me get on with my work.

Stand there quietly! I said I'll pay!

What's the harm if I pay? - Keep quiet.

It's fine. - You keep quiet!

It'll be done. It'll be done. Take it easy.

Do one thing. There's 30,000 in the cupboard.

Okay, fine. Drink some water first.

Drink some water first.

What happened?

Sorry, Mom. I knocked over the pot!

What happened?

Oh, gosh.

Mom, I accidentally knocked it over.

I'm sorry.

Okay, fine. I'll clean it up.

Listen, take 30,000 from the safe and give it to Dad.

Count it properly, okay?

Sushma!

Bunty is giving it.

Hey, Bunty!

It's 30,000, right?

It's done. Fine?

I was going to pay, right?

He was getting late, brother. I paid him.

He wasn't getting late.

You just couldn't wait to show off.

Brother...

I mean, every time.

What are you two doing? Just stop it.

Sit down, Dad.

Here, take this.

Otherwise you'll tAunty me later.

Take it!

Brother, why are you using Sushma's money?

She works so hard for it.

Who told you this is Bhabhi's money?

You think Sushma is paying for all this?

You think I'm living off Sushma's money?

Will you stop?

What are you doing?

Leave it.

You enjoy making that point too, don't you?

Come on, brother. You're taking this too far.

Let's just end it.

You want to end it, right?

Fine. Let's end it today.

You love this house so much, right?

Then tell me this...

Why did you leave this house right after you got married?

Because you never thought I was capable

of taking responsibility for this house!

You're so proud of being responsible, aren't you?

Want to hear the truth?

You couldn't even take responsibility for your own father!

Have some shame! Shame!

You turned my father against me with your sweet talk!

You made him think I was a worthless man!

I set out to become a lawyer. A nobody!

Don't cross the line!

I'll tell you who crossed the line. You did!

And you know when?

The day you took Dad away from here!

And filled his heart with hatred for me.

You turned him so far against me...

that he hated even my face,

even the color of my shirt.

He hated me until the day he died.

And you remained the apple of his eye.

Enough! This has gone too far!

Let go of me! Go take care of your boutique!

I don't need anyone to manage this household.

Brother?

Do you know what your problem is?

You don't want to fix anything!

You just want to keep complaining!

"There's a problem, there's something wrong."

How long will Sanjay Kataria keep living on his own terms?

You two want to redevelop this place, right?

Then tear this house down!

The house you never considered your own!

And be happy!

Brother...

Yes, yes, fine!

Ajay... Ajay...

Dad... Dad, please listen to me.

Dad, tell me what you need. I'll help you.

Dad?

We'll live on the streets!

Calm down. - No, that's enough!

Move aside. - Aman, convince him.

Dad... - You keep quiet!

Ajay Chacha says things without thinking.

Don't take it to heart, Dad.

Don't stress so much.

Papa!

Papa... Get up Papa!

Papa!

Go check!

Wait.

Please let us through.

Brother, I'll go check the formalities.

No, no, I'll check. Wait.

Yes, Sushma.

Yes, they just took him inside.

Looks like it'll cost around 75,000.

Did you find the cash?

It's not here.

There's barely 20,000.

And another 10 or 12 thousand I'd saved.

That can't be.

There should be at least 60,000-70,000.

I've looked everywhere.

I checked your bag.

It's not in the other cupboard either.

This is ridiculous! Where did it disappear?

That money belongs to someone else!

Why are you yelling at me?

Bunty, you look around too.

Look over there. Check that cabinet.

We're checking.

Fine.

I'll figure something out.

Brother, the formalities...

I'm doing that right now.

No, brother, I did it.

Wasn't I handling it?

Brother, there's no time.

The doctor said all the tests have to be done right now.

Immediately.

It's just money, brother.

You can pay me back later.

Ajay...

When it happened with Dad,

how did you handle everything?

I didn't know what to do back then, brother.

I was scared. I was alone.

No, no.

Whatever you did,

you did it well.

You handled it better than I did.

No, brother, that's not true.

No, it is.

Ajay, even today, if you weren't here,

how would I manage all this?

Brother,

you always do whatever you can.

You have been doing it since then.

Ajay...

That redevelopment matter...

well...

If you think it's right, let's do it.

If you thought it through, I'm sure it's right.

Look, it's nothing as serious as a heart attack or a stroke...

Yes.

But I suspect something.

Okay. - We'll need to run some tests.

We'll keep him under observation.

I'll keep you posted.

Okay, doctor. Thank you.

Bhabhi, don't worry. Everything will be fine.

Alka, I have no idea.

Dad...

And now even our family is going through so much change.

Please don't take this the wrong way.

Maybe all this redevelopment is a good thing.

But for me, this house...

it's like my oldest friend.

You're right, Sushma.

It is a friend.

But with time, we make new friends too, don't we?

We've been through good times and bad together.

And the times ahead will be even better.

The whole family will be together.

Here's the list of injections and medicines. - Yes.

Please get them from the pharmacy.

Excuse me...

6 number counter.

Haan.

Thank you, sister. Thank you. - Okay.

Mr. Tyagi, I'm in an emergency...

Oh, there's a bigger emergency here!

You remember that beggar who came to court that day asking for money?

The one your men were beating up.

Just come to the office.

First, put a stop to that land issue.

And deal with that beggar's matter.

What happened to you?

Nonu, listen...

Well...

About that RCC selection...

Didi, Mom called. She was asking

who's going to the hospital tonight?

Tell chachi I'll go.

Okay, okay.

Yes, you were saying something.

No, nothing.

Tell me.

It's nothing.

Okay.

Okay.

I don't understand anything anymore.

Not my life, not my thesis,

not even with Kevin.

He's a good guy.

He's intelligent.

He'd even be cute if he stopped wearing checkered shirts.

But I don't know how you become sure about your life.

How do you know what you really want...

Brother,

look, here are some designs.

If you think they're fine, we can move ahead.

They're fine.

Aren't they?

Brother, they're good.

Brother, I'll go to the hospital.

Okay, go.

Hello, we're here for an investigation.

What's wrong, Inspector?

Which one of you is Bharat Kataria?

Bharat...

What happened?

Sir, it looks like this is the boy involved.

What's the matter?

Ask him.

What happened, son?

Dad, I... - No excuses!

There's no time for all this!

First, tell me this...

You know Sompal, right?

Son, who is Sompal?

Who is Sompal?

Sompal is a fake agent.

We've put him behind bars.

At the Royal Cricket Championship,

he's conned several people by promising them selection for money.

Your son is one of them.

You took the money from the cupboard...

Yes?

Yes?

So the money my son

gave Sompal...

we'll get it back, right?

First, an FIR will be filed.

Then we'll take action.

Yes, please do.

If we recover anything, it's your money.

Right?

You'll need to bring him to the station.

We need his statement.

I'll bring him to the station.

The boy's going to be roughed up badly,

it'll be quite the powerplay.

What do you mean?

I'm a lawyer. I know how this works!

So you stole that money.

Have you lost your mind?

I...

I never even dreamed that I would...

That's exactly it. My dreams...

No one ever paid attention to my dreams!

If Aman wanted to go to the UK,

if Nonu wanted to go to Mumbai,

you always managed to arrange the money.

But what about my dreams?

So you steal?

No, Dad!

I took what was rightfully mine!

The bigger the dream, the more support you need!

And I never got any.

But, son, we...

Dad, do you even know

how many subjects I have this term?

Bunty, listen...

Mom, when there are groceries at home...

no one remembers Bunty!

Do you remember when I scored my first century at school?

Do you remember?

Do you?

No, right?

Why?

Because Nonu's results were coming out that day!

I thought if I got selected,

I'd finally be a star in your eyes.

I didn't know...

Grandpa would end up like this and...

Sompal sir would turn out to be a scammer!

Dad...

Maybe Bunty tried to tell me,

but I just didn't listen.

In trying to hold this family together,

did we forget to pay attention to our own family members?

Yes, doctor.

Yes, I'm coming.

What happened?

No, Dad's being discharged.

I'll go get him.

Ajay, come with me.

Hang up, the doctor is here. I'll call you back.

Papaji is looking fit like before.

He seems fine.

But we've run some tests.

Okay.

He's showing early signs of dementia.

His ability to retain memories is slowly decreasing.

Where's the TV?

This is a radio, isn't it?

The Britisher is here!

Simon, go back!

What? - Simon, go back!

You mean forgetting the fan regulator,

calling the TV a radio... things like that?

There are a few things you'll need to be careful about.

Stress is a major trigger for dementia patients.

And they're very attached

to their surroundings.

Things like their room,

their home.

In such a situation, the fewer changes,

and the less stress,

the better it is for Uncle.

We'll take care of the discharge formalities.

You can check on him.

Thank you, sir. - Thank you so much.

Bunty...

Bunty, listen!

Bunty?

Bunty, we're out of coriander.

Really, Mom?

I'm really sorry, son.

Mom, don't apologize.

I'm already dying of guilt.

Look at this... Oh my, your bat is so...

It's so heavy!

How do you even hit a shot with this?

It's so heavy. - Mom, leave it.

Your stance is wrong too. Put it down, please.

Okay.

I just wanted to make you all proud.

I messed that up too.

I'm sorry.

You bring home free chilies with the vegetables.

That's enough to make me proud of you.

When hard work and talent come together,

that's when magic happens.

You're hardworking.

Aren't you?

And you've got talent in spades, my Bharat Kataria.

Just stand by the truth.

Never turn your back on it.

Okay?

Yes, yes, Mom.

He'll always stand by the truth. He definitely will.

And now, just watch. He'll work twice as hard.

Right?

Bunty?

Is my brother crying?

Bro, when you score a century at Lord's,

I swear I'll take my shirt off and run around.

I swear.

He's telling the truth.

Come on.

You okay?

And Mom's stance is pretty good too! Okay?

Look who's talking!

Welcome. - You're home.

Listen to me.

Do you remember what the doctor

told us on the phone? - Yes.

Everything is normal. Okay? - Yes.

Dad!

Welcome home, Dad.

Come in.

Kids!

Put the bags down. - Welcome back, Grandpa!

Aman, move this chair.

Come.

What's this...

Whose birthday is it today?

It's not a birthday, Dad. We're celebrating you coming home.

Me?

Where did I go?

I'm right here.

Yes, you were right here.

Yes.

But you can have some cake, right?

Cut the cake to celebrate.

Yes.

Okay. - Here, Dad.

Okay.

Who's this?

This... uncle...

Bunty! Your grandson.

Bunty? - Yes.

My grandson?

Oh, yes!

Bunty's grown so much!

Yes, Dad.

He certainly has.

Papa, I'm sorry.

It won't ever happen again.

It's okay, son.

And Dad, about the money...

Oh, we'll get the money back.

Your dad's a lawyer. I'll handle it.

Okay. - Don't worry.

Well, well, well...

Look at this!

What a happy family. How nice!

Bholu...

Want some cake?

If Bhabhi is serving it, I'll definitely have some, sir.

Then you'll definitely get some...

Bhabhi,

please set aside a few pieces of cake for my boys.

Sir, who are you?

Dad, so this is your friend?

Son, I'm your dad's best friend.

Your dad wasn't answering his best friend's calls,

so I thought I'd come see him myself.

This...

Bhabhi...

Sanjay, what kind of trouble have you gotten yourself into?

Brother, who was that?

Dad, he looked like some kind of goon...

Not like a goon, he was a goon.

That money was his, right?

Tell us! That money was his, right?

Yes, it was his!

He's my client!

Does anyone else have anything to ask?

But, brother, a client like that?

Why did you even need a client like that?

There are people like that in our line of work!

We have to deal with them.

Really?

As far as I remember,

you didn't start practicing law with this intention.

You started it to fight for the truth, didn't you?

What did fighting for the truth ever get me?

Fighting for the truth

left me sitting on a chair under a tree!

The people I started with are sitting in air-conditioned chambers!

They've built mansions!

The walls of my house have become hollow.

A daughter...

whose living expenses in Mumbai I can't even afford.

A son...

whose dreams I couldn't listen to.

And he had to steal from his own home.

Tell me, Sushma...

what have I gained from fighting for the truth?

Really?

As far as I remember,

you didn't start practicing law with this intention.

What did fighting for the truth ever get me?

The walls of my house have become hollow.

The people I started with are sitting in air-conditioned chambers!

They've built mansions!

A daughter...

whose living expenses in Mumbai I can't even afford.

A son...

whose dreams I couldn't listen to.

And he had to steal from his own home.

Dad was probably crying yesterday.

You felt it too, right?

Where's Aunty?

I've been calling her for two days, but she isn't answering.

Well, actually, Mom is a bit upset.

Yesterday at home...

Because Mom just can't rest easy.

Even when the phone is at 80 percent,

she still keeps it on charge.

Tell us what happened.

Our entry has been selected for the final round.

So I thought I'd be the one to give her the good news.

See.

But I think it's gotten a little late.

Got it!

What?

Di, what?

My term paper topic.

Thank you.

She's a little crazy.

Ignore her.

I'll give Mom the good news.

And... the bad news too.

Bad news?

That...

you're not coming back.

Maybe I could come back.

If there's a reason to.

Silly!

Yes, Mrs. Gupta, she told me it's a huge order.

But I've already shut down the boutique.

Yes.

Yes, Dad wasn't keeping well either,

and there was more work to take care of at home, so...

Yes, okay. I'll hang up.

Mom...

Nonu, do one thing. Put this flour in there.

You know, I met Arora Aunty the other day.

You know, the one from the temple?

She was telling me that her daughter...

Who? Shreya? - Yes.

She also, like you,

is interested in Mass Media.

But Aunty was really worried about whether

she'd be able to manage on her own in the city.

So what do you think?

She'll manage... Shreya?

She's always managed just fine until now.

She'll manage this time too.

Then her mom will manage too.

Right?

Mom, your designs made it to the finals.

The finals.

And you're busy...

Now tell me the truth. Why did you shut down the boutique?

You'll think it's ridiculous when you hear it.

Nonu, but the truth is,

a housewife's real job is to take care of the home.

Mom, you can run a business while taking care of the home too.

That was the intention, dear.

But just because the intentions are right,

doesn't mean the results will be right too.

It happens.

What is it, Naina?

You pulled me away from important work for ice cream.

This is important too, Dad.

Oh, gosh.

Are you okay?

I'm fine. What's wrong with me?

Yeah...

We haven't talked in quite a few days.

We haven't really sat down together either.

Are you okay, dear?

You can't just brush me off like that.

What is it?

Fine, forget it.

Okay, I'll tell you first, then you tell me.

Deal?

Deal.

Go on, tell me.

I've started feeling suffocated in Mumbai, Dad.

Why?

Has Mumbai's AQI gotten worse than Ghaziabad's too?

No.

Then?

I've lost my confidence.

I feel like I dreamed too big,

coming to Mumbai, taking a risk...

What if it doesn't work out?

Let me tell you something, dear.

When your uncle got that shop,

he didn't even know how to comb his hair properly.

Forget about selling furniture.

And then?

Then he learned how to use a comb,

and even learned to sell furniture.

You have to take risks, dear.

Right?

That's how things work out.

Nonu...

Don't look at life

from the perspective of winning.

Look at life from the perspective of living.

Everything will be okay.

Yeah, okay.

Now it's your turn.

What can I tell you... I...

I'm fine.

Just a little stressed about work.

All dads have this problem.

Whenever we ask you something,

"I'm fine. Just work stress."

Okay, then share your work stress with me.

I...

You felt like crying yesterday, didn't you?

Dad, there's nothing wrong with crying.

It releases oxytocin.

It helps reduce your stress.

Crying is good for you.

Look at you, you know everything.

I have plenty of experience with crying.

Dad, Mom is shutting down the boutique

because she has started thinking

that running the household is only the dad's job.

And a dad's worth isn't

his bank balance.

It's who he is.

And Dad, if Mom is happy,

the whole family will be happy.

My child.

It'll get cold.

It's just tea.

I'm sorry, Sushma.

I've...

spent my whole life losing.

To lose to my own wife...

You saw it as your own defeat...

so maybe I lost too.

I was wrong.

Completely wrong.

I admit it.

Do you remember...

how much you wanted that perfume once?

You even went to buy it.

And then Bunty spotted an expensive bat there.

For a whole year, you used your phone with a broken screen.

Do you remember?

When Nonu needed a laptop, do you remember what you did?

We were going to Shimla.

Do you remember what happened then?

The house needed to be repainted.

What did you do?

You did whatever you could.

You always have.

For our children, for us...

For Kataria Kutir, that's what I was doing too.

Please, Sushma.

Please, don't...

don't give up on your work.

My thinking was wrong.

And you...

You need to stop being afraid of these goons.

Sanjay Kataria, LLB, we're all with you.

Nothing will happen.

It's too late now. I've already taken the money.

We'll throw that money right back in their faces!

How? Where will we get it from?

You've always done everything for this family, and now...

now it's our turn.

Yes, Sudha ma'am...

Yes... Move aside.

You need it by the day after tomorrow?

It'll be done.

Sir, you said you'd try after the FIR.

Oh, son, you too...

Sir, please.

Please get me some money. You said you'd...

I'm getting it done.

We're doing everything we can from our end.

Understand?

Done.

When the house looks good, the neighbors get jealous.

That's good.

Forty percent discount. Yes, this is good.

Sir, your papers look pretty good to me.

Everything seems to be in order.

Right?

And ma'am, the letter you mentioned,

the one from your father...

you'll need to attach that.

Yes, Mr. Tyagi.

I'm working on your case.

Yes, yes.

Hello?

Hello, sir. Sorry for calling so many times.

I wanted to ask,

did Sompal's money come through this time?

Yes, come over. - Thank you.

So I told him...

Even a smart dog knows better than to starve.

Oh...

Mr. Kataria, you?

I just came by to give you an update on the case.

What great news! Excellent!

Excellent, Mr. Kataria.

Wow!

So when are those beggars getting kicked out?

Got a court date?

Yes.

We've got a court date.

That's great, Mr. Kataria.

You've made my day.

Look.

Check it properly.

Sir...

He's gotten a court date for you.

What?

You've filed a case against me?

How dare you!

Have you lost your mind?

I had lost my mind.

And I was afraid of you too.

Later, I realized that what I was really afraid of

was disappointing my family.

Now that my family is with me,

I'm not afraid anymore.

You two-bit lawyer!

You don't know who I am!

You're wrong.

Now I know exactly who you are.

And this two-bit lawyer...

will now stand against you in court.

Here. Take your money back, with interest.

Bholu, tell your boss...

it's time for yoga.

Inhale.

Exhale.

Dad... - Hmm.

What are you doing sitting here all alone?

I'm looking at the sky.

And all the beautiful stars in the sky.

And that sliver of moon peeking through the trees.

Wow! Look at that.

Look at nature's magic.

The moon really does look beautiful.

Sanjay, why are you so hesitant about this redevelopment?

You understand that this will benefit all of us.

No, Dad.

It won't benefit everyone.

Look, Sanjay...

Kataria Kutir isn't just a piece of land.

It's our home.

And a home...

a home is made by the people who live in it,

by the family.

And these doctors...

Don't listen to them.

They keep saying all sorts of things.

Just remember one thing. Keep me in a slum,

put me in the Taj Mahal, put me anywhere,

just make sure there's a TV with me. That's all.

Of course.

Three words. - Three.

What is passion?

Passion is a girl coming to Mumbai in search of her identity.

First word.

No, no. - The third word, right?

Would the third word come first?

See? See? Only life partners understand these gestures.

Mom is going? - Yes.

Or a boy from Ghaziabad,

dreaming of playing for India one day.

Where does Mom go?

Where does Mom go? - The market?

The market? - Temple?

Temple. - Yes!

Temple! Temple. - Temple, it is.

Third word is temple. Now, the first.

Passion is a housewife,

who wants to take her designs from her little home

to the whole city.

World? - Family?

Chaos?

Katarias!

Wind! Wind! Wind!

Passion doesn't always mean winning over the world.

Sometimes it's about winning over your own self.

House...

"Home is a temple."

"Home is a temple."

Although our home is more like a battlefield.

Dad, can we all sleep on mattresses here?

Yes. - Dad, please, it'll be so much fun.

Uncle, let's do this.

Please, Dad. - Please.

Yes, of course.

And passion finds its identity

when your family stands with you.

Because even in contemporary India,

home is the place where passion and identity is born.

Home is where it all starts,

it all begins.

Very well said.

Okay. Settle down, everybody.

That was such a powerful and thoughtful message

given by Naina Kataria.

Passion and identity in contemporary India.

We are all evolving.

And so are our dreams, ambitions, relationships and identities.

The India we inherit

is not the India we are becoming.

The water tank is full.

Please switch off the motor.

The water tank is full.

Please switch off the motor.

When your heart is full,

don't hold it back.

Let it flow.

Because letting your heart flow is what family banter is all about.

But sometimes, along the way,

boulders block the flow.
