-Hello? -Hello?

Mr. John?

How do you do, sir?

Hello? I'm good, but, who's this?

Dubey!

Manoj Dubey, sir. Remember?

I show you girls in UP?

You eat chole-kulcha?

Very spicy, sir!

Oh, yeah.

Yes, of course. Mr. Dubey, how are you?

Fantastic, sir.

So… you still in Delhi?

No, we left, actually.

We're going to Rajasthan.

Okay. Great, great.

Rajasthan is very beautiful.

Good news for you, sir.

We have some beautiful young girls here for you.

That's nice, Mr. Dubey.

But we actually don't want your girls.

-Sorry. -But, sir, we got new stock here…

like you wanted.

I'm whatsapping you their pics.

You'll definitely like, sir.

Just see the pics and call me back.

Mr. Dubey, I've discussed it with my wife.

And we're gonna find our own surrogate.

Thank you, Mr. Dubey.

Sir!

Is that the surrogacy clinic guy?

Yeah.

And he has "new girls" for us.

Those girls are physically weak, John.

Have you seen that place? It's like…

a factory out there.

I know.

I told him, but obviously, he just wants to make money.

Well, money is not the problem.

We need a young and healthy girl.

I know, honey. I know.

We'll find her.

-Hi, guys… -Thank you, madam.

-To you… -Thank you.

Sir?

Sorry?

Girl? You want a girl?

I want a girl?

You and ma'am are very forward.

We cannot handle one woman and he wants two.

What, John?

Are you telling him that you want another woman?

No, no.

Bhanu, when did I say that?

You were talking in the car about…

a healthy and fit girl?

Oh, my God, no! Bhanu, listen.

We want a girl, but not for John.

You are really fluent in Hindi!

I've spent six years in Delhi.

I had taken some Hindi classes.

Wonderful.

Why do you need a girl?

We need a ma for our child.

Ma?

You mean a dayima?

What's a dayima?

A dayima is someone who looks after your child when you step outside.

No, no.

We want a girl who looks after our child on the "inside".

Inside?

What do you mean?

In her womb.

Our child…

-Okay. -in her womb.

We want a surrogate mother…

because I can't conceive a child.

Your child in her…

I'll explain it to you. Come on.

So, that's how it works.

This is amazing.

I've been married for 12 years. We don't have kids either.

I'll ask my wife if she'd be interested in something like this.

It's not cheap. It costs lakhs of rupees.

Oh, God.

It's not our cup of tea.

Poor people like us borrow money to educate our children.

We can't borrow money to have a child.

What's he saying?

He's saying that he's been trying to have a baby for a long time too.

And that he would never be able to afford a surrogate.

No worries, ma'am.

A poor man can always work harder and have one naturally.

Bhanu?

-Yes? -I'm sorry to hear that.

So, you understand what we're going through?

-Yes. -Yeah.

So, could you help us find a surrogate?

You are family, sir. Why not?

But I am a poor guy.

Money?

Of course, we'll pay you.

How much?

Five.

No way, sir.

Do you know how expensive cooking gas is?

-At least make it ten. -Ten?

That's a lot.

We can't afford it.

We can only afford to give you five lakh rupees.

Bhanu?

Five?

Five lakh rupees.

I'll personally carry your baby for that amount.

Done, sir.

Deal.

Deal.

Rajendra?

Go, call her.

Go on!

Amma, come on!

Shanu Amma.

She has had 14 kids.

Two pairs of twins.

She is quite experienced.

Best surrogate.

Bhanu!

She won't work.

Why not?

She is talented!

She could climb a tree in no time when she was young!

-Amma, can you still climb a tree? -Yes.

Go and climb one for us.

No! No! Please stop.

-Stop. -What is happening?

Bhanu!

She cannot be our surrogate.

We want a young girl.

She's old.

Bhanu, the surrogate doesn't decide the look of the baby, it decides the health.

Can you explain this to him?

We have to be safe.

One of our friends had picked an Indian surrogate.

The girl was really weak.

So, unfortunately, the baby didn't survive.

I get it.

Amma, you may leave.

I'll get you the best merch.

Merch?

Merch?

Ma!

I said, "Ma."

Please come with me.

Let's go, sir.

Hey, Bikaneri chick, you are so slick!

Already lost my house because of you

Do you plan to make me lose my job too?

Hey, Romeos!

Roadside Romeos!

Innocent-looking deceptive liars!

Hey, Romeos, worthless boyos!

Stop bothering me You good for nothing fellows!

You have already stolen our hearts

Don't leave us behind scarred

This isn't right, my love

You sometimes look like Mona Lisa

And sometimes like a mesmerizing Lolita

You are sometimes like a mystery

You are a super super super Supreme beauty!

You are a super super super Supreme beauty!

From head to toe, an absolute beauty!

You are a super super super Supreme beauty!

Hey, beautiful!

I am not someone who can be tied down

I am like the wild wind

I have a long way ahead of me

I am not interested in gems or jewels

I am interested in chasing my dreams

My dreams come true They are meant to

I don't want men chasing me

I want to make it to the big screen

You have already stolen our hearts

Don't leave us behind scarred

This isn't right, my love!

-You sometimes look like Mona Lisa -Buzz off!

And sometimes like a mesmerizing Lolita

You are sometimes like a mystery

You are a super super super Supreme beauty!

You are a super super super Supreme beauty!

From head to toe, an absolute beauty!

You are a super super super Supreme beauty!

Don't touch me!

I don't want to be yours for anything

I don't care even if you beg For my company

Hey, Bikaneri chick, you are so slick!

Already lost my house because of you

Do you plan to make me lose my job too?

I look at your waist

My heart starts to race

Just like the hands on the clock Going hickory, dickory dock!

To all the drivers' hard work!

Sometimes the rewards make the drive worth the effort.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Hey, Jolly Brother!

How are you?

When are you coming here, Mimi?

It will take some time, brother.

Time is money, Mimi! We can't afford to wait.

Thousands of girls flock to Mumbai every day to become a star.

The more you wait, the slimmer your chances.

I need to have enough dough to come to Mumbai.

You need to hurry up, girl.

I had a word with Dabboo.

He charges five lakh rupees for a photo shoot,

excluding costume and makeup.

Five lakh?

For a photo shoot?

Does he do it with a diamond-studded camera?

He's the most sought-after photographer in Bollywood.

How about we shoot a music video instead?

It'll go viral.

It won't cost you much either.

You'll just need ten lakh rupees.

-Let me have a word with Bhushan. -Jolly?

You're on a set?

Who was that?

Hello?

That sounded like Shah Rukh Khan!

-Really? -Yeah!

What did Jolly say?

"Do you have enough money?"

How can I possibly achieve my dream with this, Shama?

It will all happen in due time. Be patient.

Patience bears fruits.

I've been on a diet of "fruits of patience" for years.

Bhanu!

Sir.

I was offering my evening prayers.

What is it?

Bhanu, we have something we'd like to tell you.

Yes?

Honey…

We liked a girl.

We want someone like her to be our surrogate.

Who is this girl?

Who? Who?

Well, she's beautiful, she's tall and she's a dancer.

Oh, the tall girl who was dancing downstairs?

Why didn't I think of her?

If we could get someone like her…

Why "someone like her"? You can have her.

Really?

Is that possible?

Yes, of course.

You are family.

Please make sure you have the money.

-Money can buy everything. -What is happening?

He's saying that he thinks

-he may be able to get-- -Sir?

How much do you plan on paying her?

Money?

Come on! Hurry up!

We won't find a ride home!

-Give me the money. -We will.

Give me the money.

Here.

Let's go.

No, I can talk.

Bhanu Pratap.

I'm an art-lover.

That was an amazing performance.

-My God! -Thanks.

How are you guys going home?

By rickshaw?

If we get one.

You'll take a rickshaw?

Such a big star will travel in a rickshaw? I cannot let that happen!

How will I face the society?

How will I face God?

No way!

Well, you only have one face. You don't have an option.

Your friend is really funny.

Come, let me drop you home in my taxi.

You own a taxi?

-Yes. -How much will you charge us?

Come on, how can I take money from you?

I am an art-lover.

I am your fan.

A big fan.

-No, thank you, we'll manage. -No.

He's a fan.

We cannot refuse him.

Give me the rickshaw fare.

-Let's go. -Never break a fan's heart.

-Let me help you. -No, I'll manage.

-Where's your taxi? -It's parked right outside.

Your performance was mind-blowing!

I learnt to walk holding your hand

I thrived under your care

Mother!

Oh, my mother!

Mother! Oh, my mother!

A mother is God's best gift to mankind.

Right?

Yeah, of course.

The relation a mother shares with her child

is the most pious relationship in the world.

You seem to really love your mother.

Of course!

-What's her name? -Kaikeyi.

You don't say! And you still love her?

Love her?

I owe my life to her.

She nurtured me in her womb for nine months.

Being a mother is greatest gift on earth.

If I could, I would carry a child myself.

And how would you deliver it?

From the rear end?

That's the problem with men.

We cannot give birth.

What should I do?

Take a right, drop me home, and then you can do as you please.

You can pull over.

Bye.

Yeah.

You have the dagger, right?

You have the dagger, right?

Yes, I do. I do have a dagger.

Call once you get home.

I'll call you.

-Good night. -Good night.

Step on it.

Drive!

You can pull over.

-Here? -Yes.

Excuse me?

What's wrong? Did I forget something?

No, you didn't.

Well…

Well, like I said,

being a mother…

is greatest gift on earth.

So what?

I hope your dagger isn't too sharp.

You want me to chop something off?

Something?

Anything you want.

No, thank you.

So, you were saying something?

Come on, tell me.

What is it?

Well…

I mean--

You have something that men don't.

A womb. A place where babies can grow.

Are you drunk?

No.

Well, I did drink a little.

-Bloody drunkard. -Please hear me out.

Do you know the American couple staying at Amar Mahal?

You must have noticed them.

I didn't.

I'll introduce you to them tomorrow.

They… like you.

They want you to have their baby.

Because you are a dancer.

You have a great body.

God has blessed you with great features.

Who was that?

No one!

Did you see the number of likes on I got on FB?

I have got 855 likes!

I am sure it'll be 1000 by tomorrow.

Just read the comments.

"Hot!"

"You set fire to the rain!"

I have quite a fan following out here.

Call me to Mumbai already, my Romeo!

Hot!

Let me go, you bandit!

You're crazy!

You girls are really lucky that I'm unlucky.

You will be out of work once I get there.

No one will even think about you.

All the male actors will be chasing me!

They'll be screaming, "Mimi! Mimi!"

I am coming!

Wrong scale, Dad.

You should pick a higher scale.

You're gonna teach me music?

She does belong to a family of musicians, Uncle.

Hello!

I have an identity of my own.

I have done 72 shows.

How many?

-Seventy-two! -Seventy-two!

Right.

She has uploaded her videos on YouTube as well!

Sis, what's the name of the magazine you read?

Cosmopolitan.

You wouldn't have to read this nonsense if you had finished college!

Mind your own business, Mom.

I know what I want from my life.

Well, enlighten me! What do you want from life?

Mr. Jadawat's daughter got married at the age of 21!

Look at her!

There! That's where they go wrong, Aatif.

They just don't get it.

PC wouldn't be where she is today if her parents hadn't encouraged her.

PC?

Priyanka Chopra, Uncle.

A girl from Bareilly who went on to become a Bollywood star.

But her father was a doctor in the army, not an average Joe.

Come here.

Who did you call an average Joe?

You.

Tell me something, how do you know about all these things?

Social network, Uncle.

I am telling you!

I think you should have a Facebook account as well.

It'll only cost you 200 bucks. Think about it.

Facebook?

You've dropped your money.

Someone stole your sandals.

Excuse me.

Excuse me, please. Auntie, your veil's touching the floor.

Your veil as well!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

Priest!

I hope you are putting in a good word for me.

I am coming twice a week these days.

I had a word with God.

I asked Him to bless you with a handsome husband and a beautiful child.

You don't say! No wonder it is taking so long!

That's not what I want.

I want to go to Bollywood.

Where's that?

Choosing the wrong priest can mess up your plans.

You should reconsider your choice, Aunt.

Hey!

-Hello! -Put it on my tab.

-Hello! -But the veneration plate?

Put that on the tab as well.

Hey!

Does she come here every day?

Mimi Ji?

Mimi Ji?

Can I have a minute, Mimi Ji?

What is it? Why are you following me?

Do you want another slap, or should I hit you with my shoe?

Please hear me out.

You can thrash me after that.

Look, I'm offering you the other cheek.

Please, just hear me out.

Fine, out with it.

You slapped me for no good reason.

For no good reason?

You asked me to sleep with that foreigner!

You're lucky that I just slapped you.

Where I come from, one usually gets their bumper thrashed for it!

"For no good reason."

You're getting me wrong.

You don't have to sleep with John Ji to have his baby.

He won't even touch you. No physical contact.

Are you drunk again?

Mimi Ji, this is a new method.

It is known as surrogacy.

What legacy?

Not legacy.

How do I explain it?

Do you own a farm?

My uncle does, in Dholpur. What does it matter?

What does he grow?

Sugarcane.

Perfect.

So, assume that John Ji and Summer Ji want to grow their sugarcane on your farm.

What do they actually want? Sugarcane or a baby?

Sugarcane is equal to a baby.

Carry on.

Summer Ji's land is barren.

She will lease your farm.

John Ji will plant the seed.

Summer Ji will provide the necessary manure.

You'll hand over the sugarcane to them as soon as it is ready,

and they'll pay you the rent for using your farm.

Your womb…

their child!

So, I won't have to sleep with anyone?

No.

-And a baby will be born? -Yes.

You don't say!

Science has surely made a lot of progress.

Does this really happen?

Yes.

Many people do it.

This is what I've been trying to explain.

Right.

So, I need to carry their baby in my womb for nine months.

You got it.

Have you lost your freaking mind?

Why on earth would I do that?

I want to be a movie star and he wants me to be a mother.

There are so many women in this country. Go find someone else!

Crazy man.

Zip it!

Stop crying!

Get him to shut up.

Crazy woman!

Mimi Ji, you'll get 20 lakh rupees to do it.

Twenty lakh rupees!

You want to go to Bollywood, right?

You were praying for it, right?

It's a sign from God.

Twenty lakh rupees!

Mom, does giving birth to a child hurt a lot?

It hurts more when the child goes astray.

Mimi Ji, you'll get 20 lakh rupees to do it.

You want to go to Bollywood, right?

You were praying for it, right?

It's a sign from God.

Twenty lakh rupees!

Stop bullshitting me.

I'm just telling you what he said.

He's a nutcase.

Stay away from him!

It's really common these days.

Girls are making millions by renting out their wombs.

We cannot eat shit just because someone else does.

Right! We cannot eat shit because we are having quite a feast here!

Don't just look at the money. Think about what you have to do for it!

What should I do?

Jolly had called.

He wanted to know when I'll be there.

What should I tell him?

You know PC, Bebo, Kangana…

They did this as well?

No, but they became actresses at a very young age.

I am already 25 years old.

If I wait any longer, they'll ask me to play a mother myself!

I need to become a mother now to avoid playing one on screen.

Think about it, Shama.

It's a lot of money.

Hard cash.

Think about it!

I am tired of dancing for peanuts.

Please, let's just meet them once.

If it doesn't make sense, we can always refuse.

Good Lord, he is so handsome.

I wouldn't mind sleeping with him to have his baby.

Yes, he is hot.

Look at his eyes!

He is hot, but he won't sleep with you because he's my husband.

What the hell!

You speak Hindi?

Sorry, I didn't mention it. She speaks Hindi really well.

She knows Gayatri Mantra and Hanuman Chalisa as well.

Stop exaggerating.

I am not that good at it.

Good.

So, tell me,

does the woman who gives birth to your baby get twenty lakh rupees?

Yes.

Yes.

And we like you.

Why her?

You could have chosen any girl to have your baby.

Why do you want it to be her?

Because she is super fit.

She is healthy.

And she's a dancer.

Athletes and dancers, they have the best bodies.

Ladies like her give birth to healthy children.

Best body.

That's why.

Mimi Ji, if you have any questions for them,

about the baby, about the method,

please go ahead.

Right.

In how many installments will I get my 20 lakh rupees?

So, we've decided…

that we'll give you 50 thousand rupees every month for the first nine months.

And the rest, 15,50,000, after the delivery.

Really? 15,50,000, hard cash?

You betcha! Crisp bank notes!

You two can sleep on a bed of money.

I have another question.

Do I get paid double if I have twins?

-No! -No, I--

Why "no"?

-No, you won't. -Come on.

If I have twins, I'll have double the pain, right?

-Exactly. -What if I have triplets like Farah Khan?

What's she saying?

-Well, she's saying-- -She's saying, "Two babies, money double.

Three babies, money triple."

Mimi, listen, if that happens, of course, we'll pay you more.

But, please, I'm begging you, don't give us more than two.

We can't afford it.

Come on! That's out of my hands.

One more thing.

We will have to take you to a clinic in Jaipur for a check-up.

So, it'll be great if you can tell us your decision quickly.

If you aren't ready to do this, then we'll have to find another girl.

We'll give her all the money.

Neither wife, nor kids, nor parents Nothing matters

The whole thing is that Money rules over everything

All that is fine, but what will I tell my family about the baby?

It'll start showing in a couple of months.

I can't say that I have gained weight.

They won't buy it.

You don't need to tell them anything.

-What do you mean? -What do you mean?

I mean many surrogate mothers stay away from home.

Many of them don't tell their parents.

You could stay away from home as well.

Please don't ask me to find a place.

Do it yourself.

Where can I go?

Well, you can stay with me.

My house is far away from your neighborhood.

You don't have a family?

It's just me and my dad.

But he hardly comes home.

I don't get to see him for months myself.

Why?

He's a maulvi.

He barely steps out of a mosque.

And I cannot step inside.

It's the best solution… for you.

Think about it.

The whole thing is that

-It's the best solution. -Money rules over everything

The technique of IVF removes several eggs from the ovaries

for fertilization in the laboratory. For pregnancy…

Doctor, this is the girl we were talking about.

So, you are Mimi?

You don't say!

Aren't you on Facebook?

Have you willingly agreed to do this?

No one can force me.

Mimi Ji…

you'll have to keep a few things in mind after you get pregnant.

You'll have to eat healthy food.

You'll have to go for a walk daily.

You'll have to stay happy and exercise--

Yes, yes. Don't worry.

I'll carry the baby to term, hand it over to them,

and collect my payment.

Money?

Do you have any questions?

No.

Will I get stretch marks?

I mean, I hope it won't ruin my figure.

No.

-Have you done this before? -No.

So?

Did it ruin Shilpa Shetty's figure?

You don't say!

She is right.

Best body.

Mr. John, to start with, we will need your sperms.

Needhi will guide you to the sperm deposit room.

Okay.

Sir?

If you need any help, call me.

That's kind of you, Bhanu.

I've done this before.

So, Mrs. Summer, when was your last period?

This is the best news of my life

I swear!

It has made…

My barren heart rejoice

So…

It's time to celebrate

So…

It's time to shine

-So… -I am going to be mother of your child!

It's time to celebrate

So…

I have hit the jackpot

It's time to bid farewell to regrets And welcome good luck

God has been generous

My prayers have been answered

Everything seems fragrant

Everywhere there are celebrations

My happiness knows no bounds

Congratulations.

The pregnancy strip was right.

She's pregnant.

Congratulations.

That's great!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

I love you.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

We're gonna be Mom and Dad.

I love you so much.

Oh!

Mimi…

thank you.

You've changed our lives.

-Thank you so much. -Welcome.

No, not welcome.

-Bhanu, you too, thank you so much. -Twenty lakh rupees!

Cash okay, cheque okay, no tax.

Yes, yes, of course. Of course, don't worry about it.

Don't worry.

We did it.

Doctor, thank you.

You're welcome.

I'll… see you soon?

We are so happy, Mimi.

You could make us happy as well.

-Yes, yes. -Yeah. Yeah.

Mimi, this is for you.

-No. -Hey!

-For her. -Yeah.

This is for you.

Thank you.

And this is for the next four months.

We'll pay you the rest after we come back.

-Come back? -Where are you going?

We are going back to America.

We need to get back to work since we're becoming parents.

Need the money, right?

Need the money.

Don't worry.

I'll be here to make sure you don't face any problems.

We don't need you!

We can manage on our own.

-We don't need him. -No, no.

Bhanu is here to take care of you.

I'll always stay in touch with Bhanu.

They are planting their flower in your garden.

Please let me be the Gardener!

I'll take care. Sister.

Okay?

Come here.

So, please, let him stay.

What will you tell your parents?

We should go or we are not going to make the flight.

-Okay? -No problem, ma'am.

John sir, Summer ma'am, come.

A movie shoot?

For nine months?

Nine months?

It seems to be a huge movie.

It is, Mom!

It's four hours long.

Four hours?

What's the name of the movie?

-Name? -Yes.

Love in the middle of the ocean.

In the middle of the ocean?

Right.

What will they do in the middle of the ocean?

Love.

-Love. -Okay.

Let me explain.

-We will be shooting on a big ship. -Okay.

The ship will be sailing in the ocean for nine months while we shoot the movie.

They've already made a similar movie, right?

The ship sinks and everyone dies in the end.

No, no.

No one's dying in this movie.

No one's dying in this movie, Dad.

As soon as the ship docks, the parents give them their blessings,

and the girl and the boy get married.

The end. Happy ending.

Excellent!

-Right? -It's a good story, right?

No?

No.

You cannot go.

Why not?

No.

You don't need to do this.

Boys from decent families don't like girls who work in the movies.

Mom, once I become a star,

I will pick and choose the guy I want to marry.

-You? -Of course.

And look at this!

They have already given me an advance.

They are going pay me handsomely.

Think about it.

I'll be a movie star.

There will be huge posters of me all over the city!

I'll be on TV.

I'll do interviews.

What about me?

Of course, they will interview you as well.

You'll be on TV as well.

Yes!

I'll tell everyone how great our art and our lineage is.

Yes, you should.

-Right? -Right.

No.

Sit down.

Okay. Sit down.

Mom!

Come on, just think about it.

We will renovate our house every year.

Every year!

You'll be surrounded by servants…

who will be forever at your command.

Please let me do this.

Please let me go.

Don't ask me.

You and your father can do as you please.

Fine.

But I have a condition.

What condition?

You'll use your full name.

Mimi Maansingh Rathore!

Of course, I will!

Shama!

Salaam alaikum.

Walaikum salaam.

Where are your guests from?

You know my aunt from Kalyan, right?

Your aunt from Kalyan?

The one who had gray hair at a very young age?

Oh, yes! I remember her.

The one who wears tight dresses, right?

Right.

This is her niece.

Chand.

Salaam.

What's her name?

-Chand. -Chand.

And this is her husband.

Naseeruddin.

Salaam alaikum.

Walaikum salaam.

Walaikum salaam.

What do you do?

I'm a driver.

With God's grace, I have my own car.

PRAISE LORD RAM

It's a secondhand car.

I'm working on a new project. I'll buy a new car soon.

-See you around. -Okay.

Let me know if you have contacts at the bank.

Of course! We're happy to help.

We are family. Family always helps each other.

Hey!

Morning walk!

Wake up!

Wake up.

-Come on! -Mimi.

Mimi…

wake up!

Mimi, come on, wake up.

You are supposed to go for a morning walk. Get up!

We'll do it in the evening.

Morning walks are good for the baby.

You don't do it, let the baby do it.

-Get up. -But the baby wants to sleep.

Get up.

You look good.

Thanks.

Put this on.

Cover the whole face.

Is this alright?

Okay.

Salaam alaikum, Shama.

Walaikum salaam.

Where are you going?

We're going for a walk.

Chand is used to it.

Why didn't you tell me that Mimi is working in a movie?

-In a movie? -Yeah.

Mimi's father was telling everyone at the bus depot.

She went to Mumbai to work in the movies.

She'll be a movie star soon.

I am sure you know, right?

Yes, she had told me about it.

Chand?

Let's go, Chand.

I have to say…

Chand is really tall, right?

She'll need at least six meters of cloth.

Yeah, you're right.

Who is it?

What--

Wait.

Why don't you just break the door?

I'm coming.

Who are you?

I am Shama's aunt's niece's husband.

But who are you?

-Me? -Yes.

Shama's father.

That's wonderful! You've blessed me with your presence.

It's so good to finally meet you.

Salaam alaikum

Walaikum salaam.

May I come in?

Sure. Welcome to my house--

I mean, welcome to your house.

I should hide the alcohol.

What did you say your name was, mister?

-My name? -Yes.

Nawazuddin.

-Nawazuddin? -Yes.

So, you are Zohra Begum's son-in-law?

Zohra?

No, I'm the son-in-law of the aunt from Kalyan who wears tight dresses.

Yes, her name is Zohra Begum!

Her name is Zohra?

I didn't know.

I've always addressed her as "Mom".

Please forgive me, Mom.

Where is Shama?

Candle? I extinguished it.

We don't need it during the day.

I am talking about my daughter Shama.

She and my daughter--

She's gone for a morning walk with my wife.

-Walk? -Yes.

"Walk" means using your legs to move forward.

Let me show you.

This is what you call a slow walk.

This is a fast walk.

Hey, mister, stop! Come here.

Please come here.

I know what "walk" means.

I meant…

Shama doesn't go for walks.

What made her go for a walk today?

My wife loves going for morning walks.

And her doctor says that…

one should walk regularly. It's good for the heart.

Do you offer Namaaz?

Of course, I do. I do it regularly. I love it.

How many times do you do it?

Ten times.

Namaaz is to be offered only five times a day, mister.

I gave you a count for two days.

Did you offer the Morning Namaaz today?

I'll do it after I take a shower.

It is to be read at 5:00 a.m.

I'll read it at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Oh, Lord! This guy…

I have a heart condition.

May I get some rest? My heart's palpitating.

Yes, of course. You should rest.

Look at him! He's dozing off!

-Shama. -Dad!

Thank God you're back.

When did our guests arrive?

Do you remember my aunt from Kalyan? The one who wears tight dresses?

Is it important to mention the way she dresses?

No?

I asked, "When did our guests arrive?"

Yesterday.

This is Chand.

-Salaam. -Salaam.

-She is pregnant. -Okay.

She was just a baby the last time you saw her. Do you remember?

Well, you don't talk to anyone, so you don't know what's happening.

Well, she was facing some problems back home,

so I asked her to come here.

I did the right thing, right?

You did the right thing, dear.

This must be God's will.

-Right. -Zohra Begum has done a lot for us.

Go take a shower and accompany me to the mosque.

We'll offer the Afternoon Namaaz at the mosque.

Hey, Sparkler!

Hey, Sparkler!

You have been acting all weird

Sometimes, you are like Slippery dew drops on a flower

Sometimes, you are like A gum that sticks to the gums

Hey, Sparkler!

Hey, Sparkler!

Don't knock At the door of my heart so hard

You are a mystery

Oh, Sparkler!

You are a hormonal mess

Oh, Sparkler!

Everything you do is so absurd

Oh, Sparkler!

Hey, Sparkler!

You look like a fish out of water

Why is your temper…

As unpredictable as the share market?

Sometimes, you crave for a tamarind

And sometimes, for chilies

Sometimes, you're like Devdas' Paro…

Oh, Sparkler!

And sometimes, like Chandramukhi!

Oh, Sparkler!

Why so sad? Come on, give me a smile

Oh, Sparkler!

Oh, Sparkler!

-Hey, Sparkler! -Oh, Sparkler!

You have been acting all weird

You have been acting all weird

Look… at you!

You look more beautiful than ever, Mimi.

Right?

Do you wanna see something fun?

Touch here.

Feel.

Do you feel it? That's our baby.

Do you feel it?

I've never felt anything like that before.

That's our baby.

Well, it's time for you to make us feel like "never before".

We have something for him, right?

Oh, yeah, yeah.

That's our baby.

Bhanu.

Mimi…

Yeah.

I'm sure the count's alright.

Doctor? Doctor?

-Okay, yeah. -Good.

-Shall we? -Yeah.

I have put on some weight, right?

-No? -We've taken care of her, sir.

You've done a great job.

You're gonna be a great dad.

You're gonna be a great mom.

-Hey, doctor. -Hello.

-Please sit. -Thanks.

We had doubts after the last checkup,

so we did a battery of tests on Mimi yesterday.

What's wrong, doctor?

There is a problem with your child.

Your child is mentally challenged.

Your child has down syndrome.

What?

That's what the reports say.

I'm-- I'm really very sorry.

I know it's very hard for you to accept it,

but it happens sometimes.

No matter how much care you take of yourself or your child,

your child turns out to be disabled.

Can't you fix it, Doctor?

What any hospital can do is provide you with medical care and a specialist--

Summer, wait.

Wait, doctor.

Summer!

John, let's go.

Listen, just--

Listen--

Please, John, let's just go.

Babe!

We can make this work.

No.

No, I can't.

No, I can't.

We don't need this baby, John.

Please, let's just go home.

Please, let's go home.

What's wrong, Summer Ji?

What happened?

Bhanu, take us to Mimi.

What?

No! No, I can't.

I can't face her, John. Please! No!

No!

-I can't. -What happened?

What happened?

Bhanu, pull over.

No.

You don't want the baby?

Have you lost it?

-You think this is a game? -Bhanu!

We can't raise this child.

You think money can get you everything, right?

This is a poor country.

Just throw some cash and we'll do anything for you!

No.

Bhanu… that is not what we think.

We have been visiting India for a year now.

We have been to many surrogacy clinics.

You know why?

Because--

Because we wanted a perfect surrogate,

so that we get a perfect and healthy baby.

Not a disabled one.

Not a baby with down syndrome.

What will we do with that child, Bhanu?

What will that girl do with that child?

It is your baby.

You have to keep it, no matter how it is.

My wife and I would've treasured the child had it been ours.

Bhanu, please understand.

We can't raise a disabled baby.

We just can't.

We can't.

Don't ask us to keep this baby.

I beg you.

Please tell Mimi…

to get rid of the baby.

-Please don't-- -I can't.

No.

-Summer Ji? -No.

John sir?

Sir, I request you.

I request you, please take your baby.

Take your baby.

This isn't what we wanted, Bhanu.

I'll get you a place in Juhu, that's where all the movie stars live.

Great!

Get me a nice house.

It should be sea-facing.

-Sea-facing? -Yes.

Do you know how expensive those are?

You don't say!

-Don't worry about the money! -Move!

Shama and I will be there in a couple of months.

Listen, I have a question.

Shama can sing for our viral music video, right?

She is a great singer.

-Please have a word with Bhushan Ji. -Yeah.

-I'll talk to him and get back to you. -Yeah, okay.

Please send me the pictures of the house.

Right. Okay, bye.

Bhanu!

You too should come to Mumbai with us.

You can be my driver.

We'll have a great time, right?

Right.

What's wrong?

Why the long face?

What happened?

Summer Ji says that she doesn't want the baby.

What do you mean?

Are you drunk?

Doctor's reports state that there's some problem with the child.

Prob--

Problem?

What's the problem?

-What's the problem? What's wrong? -I don't know.

She wants you to…

abort the child.

Abort the child?

Have you lost it, Bhanu?

Are you out of your mind?

-Let me call Summer. -How can she say that?

She is carrying their child, Bhanu!

I cannot get through!

They agreed to do this.

They asked us to do this! How can she say that?

I cannot get through to her!

Where is Summer?

I just dropped them off at their hotel.

Get out of my way!

Mimi!

Shama, she will run away!

Hurry up.

Hurry up, Bhanu!

Where are John and Summer?

They just checked out.

They left?

Where did they go?

Mimi!

What have you done?

What kind of a movie were you shooting for?

I told you to not send her.

But you wouldn't listen to me.

Go ahead! Use your full name now!

Shama, you have committed a sin by hiding this from us.

We treated you like our own daughter and you betrayed us.

Is this how you repay your guru?

Do you remember what you had said, Mimi?

"I'll make my family proud, Dad."

"Everyone will learn about our art."

You've destroyed our family's name.

You have ruined my art, my honor, my reputation!

You have ruined everything!

You've betrayed my trust.

Come on, tell me!

Tell me who the father is!

Tell me the name of the man you have married!

Please don't tell me you didn't get married.

The shame will kill us!

I'll set this house on fire with everything else.

I'll set everything on fire!

Who is the father, Mimi?

-Why aren't you saying anything? -Tell us! Who is the father?

Tell us!

-Tell me! -He is!

He?

He?

He?

Me?

You got me into this mess!

You're the one who convinced me to have this baby.

Why the hell did you listen to him?

He is old enough to be your father!

No--

I'm not as old as you.

I am just 38 years old.

How can he be Mimi's husband?

He's a Muslim!

-What? -What?

-He's a Muslim? -He's a Muslim!

Oh, my God!

Muslim?

Oh, God!

This is a disaster.

What have you done?

I've seen him with his wife.

His wife?

His wife?

His wife?

That was his aunt, not his wife.

Listen, I am not a Muslim and I don't have a wife.

Hang on.

Here.

Age, 42 years.

Read my name first. Why do you care about my age?

Bhanupratap Pandey.

He's a Hindu.

That was a close shave, Aunt.

That was a close shave, indeed.

Shobha, please end this drama!

Your daughter is pregnant.

Let's look after her!

Maansingh, you are the one who should be blamed for this!

Why did you let her go alone?

Anyway, we cannot change the past.

You need to take care of her now.

She is expecting a child.

You are gonna be grandparents.

Mimi, you should stop crying as well.

Don't cry, my child.

Wipe your tears. Come on.

You should eat something.

You should not stay hungry during pregnancy.

Come on, get up.

Come on.

What will you have?

Should I make you your favorite meal?

Would you like to have it?

Come on, my child.

Why doesn't Mimi dress like a married woman?

Perhaps his face doesn't inspire her to dress like a married woman.

Mister…

do you have a house of your own,

or you plan to stay here with us?

What have you done, Mimi Ji?

I have a mother, a wife and a house in Delhi.

-Why did you get me into this mess? -You rascal!

I got you into this mess?

I got you this a mess, or was it the other way around?

What did you tell me?

"You should do it, Mimi Ji.

It's just a matter of nine months.

All your dreams will come true.

They are really nice people."

Nice, my foot!

They are nice people?

"John Ji! Summer Ji!"

What happened?

Where are they?

Where are they? They ran away!

And they left this baby inside me!

What was the example you had given me?

"You just need to grow their sugarcane in your farm."

I want to shove all the sugarcane up your behind!

Say something, Bhanupratap Pandey--

You better take care of this baby once it is born.

I won't keep it. Do you understand?

You've ruined my life.

I shouldn't have agreed to do this!

You should go to Mumbai. Be a movie star.

I'll take care of the baby.

And what will you tell people?

Where were these people when my husband divorced me?

Don't worry.

I'll handle it.

-Listen, Aatif. -Yes?

Mimi's husband--

Your son-in-law?

Yes!

When do you think they met?

When did they get married?

He must've bamboozled Mimi during one of her dance performances.

I don't think she would've fallen for a two-bit driver otherwise.

He must have used some black magic.

-Hey! -Mimi!

-Hey! -Mimi!

Shobha!

-What's wrong? -What's wrong?

I don't know what's wrong. It hurts a lot!

You are in pain?

What's wrong?

-Wait… -Let's take her to the doctor.

-I'll call the family doctor. -Yes, call him.

No, her doctor is in Jaipur.

She knows everything. We'll have to go to her.

Wear this, dear.

-Come on, my child. -Here.

-Easy. -Be careful.

-Be careful. -I'll come with you.

No!

You guys stay here. We'll go there alone.

That's right. No one's coming with us!

Shut up!

-We're all coming with you! -Alright, let's go.

We've had enough. We are done listening to you.

Let's go.

Get some rest.

Calm down. Take deep breaths.

-Drive faster. -Okay.

Easy!

Be careful.

What?

Relax, my child. Try to relax.

It has stopped.

-Stopped? -What has stopped?

The pain.

-It has stopped, right? -Yes.

-She is no longer in pain. -Are you alright?

Turn the car around.

-Home? -Take us home.

-I am feeling better. -Okay.

It has stopped.

Careful.

Relax, relax.

-It has stopped, right? -Yes.

Alright?

-Take us home. -Okay.

Are you alright?

-What's wrong? -It's back! It's back!

-The pain is back. -It's back.

-It's back? -Turn the car around. Hurry!

Come on! Turn around!

Why don't you drive?

No, you drive.

It takes time.

-It'll be alright. Don't worry. -Don't worry.

Yeah, alright.

Come.

Follow me.

Doctor!

-She's in a lot of pain. -Yes.

Where's the mother?

What do you mean?

She's carrying the baby! Isn't it obvious that she's the mother?

Are you sure she's a doctor?

She's the surrogate.

What?

Nonsense! She is Mimi.

Did you change your name as well?

Surrogate means--

Doctor, it's hurting really bad.

-Please do something. -Alright.

Nurse, take her inside.

-Come on. -Let's go.

-Please wait here. -No!

-No, we will go with her. -Please wait.

-The doctor has asked us to wait here. -Let her go.

-No one is allowed in there. -No…

False labor pains.

They're known as Braxton-Hicks contractions.

It is very common during this time of pregnancy.

Where is Summer?

She ran away…

because you told her that there is some problem with the baby.

Oh, God! What's wrong with these people?

How many times has this happened before, Doctor?

Parents have refused to accept the baby in many surrogacy cases.

They run away,

especially these foreigners.

In these cases, most of the girls abort the child.

You know what I've felt, Doctor?

I believe that the child inside me is alive.

It grows,

it breathes,

it eats,

it moves.

I think it can hear us as well.

Killing a child after its birth is a crime,

but killing it inside the womb is not.

Why?

Why don't people accept the child inside?

Irrespective of its condition…

a child is a child, right?

Right?

You seem…

To be…

Like…

Yourself

But this…

Is not you

Your face…

Smiles…

But it doesn't reach…

Your eyes

Who'd understand…

Your pain?

Who'd set you free?

Set you free…

Set you free…

Set you free…

Set you free…

Why did your aspirations…

Hit a dead end?

All your desires…

Are locked away

All your dreams…

Have faded away…

And are wiped clean

The waves don't reach the shore anymore

They are upset

Who'd understand…

Your pain?

Who will set you free?

Set you free…

Set you free…

Set you free…

Set you free…

May I ask you something?

You know that you got me into this mess.

But you also know that I couldn't have chased you…

if you had run away.

I wouldn't have followed you to Delhi.

And even if I did,

you could've easily refused to help me.

This is not your child.

So…

why are you still here?

I am a driver, Mimi Ji.

We have some principles.

The passenger must always…

reach his destination.

We might face bad roads,

potholes, accidents…

but that doesn't give us an excuse to leave them stranded.

Anyway…

if--

If you… experience any pain during the night…

just… hit me with this bottle.

You are an expert at throwing things.

But please don't start screaming.

My heart starts sinking and I start feeling scared.

I won't scream.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night.

What's wrong?

Labor pains! I'm getting the car.

Get ready. We'll have to go to Jaipur.

Jaipur is too far away. She'll end up having the baby in the car!

Let's take her to the government hospital instead.

-Yes. -Let's go. Okay.

-Let's go. -Madam!

She is in pain!

-Excuse me, it's an emergency. -Relax! Relax!

Wait here.

Please wait here.

Hey…

She's in pain!

Sit down.

-Please have a seat. -Sit.

Shama?

Mimi is in labor.

We are at the local hospital.

Come quickly.

What happened?

Please sign this.

-Me? -Yes.

You are the father, right?

Yes, he is.

We didn't have a choice.

Sign it.

I'm about to become a father for the first time. I'm so happy.

My father had become a grandfather at your age.

We are against child marriages.

BHANU PRATAP

Mimi, push when you feel the pain, alright?

Take deep breaths.

-What's happening? -We can't go in there.

But I--

Sit down.

Yes, yes. Relax.

Yes, yes.

Calm down, we're almost done.

We're almost done.

We're almost done. Calm down.

-Relax, relax. -I can't do it.

You can do it, Mimi!

-You can do it. -I can't do it.

Very good. You can do it.

Push when you feel the pain, alright?

Take deep breaths.

One more push, come on.

We are almost done.

Calm down. Relax. Easy.

Push when you feel the pain.

-I can't do it. -You can do it.

You can do it, Mimi!

Take deep breaths. One more push.

Yes, yes.

You can do it. Yes.

Yes. Very good.

Very good.

Very good. Yes.

Yes, push.

Push.

One more push.

Yes.

-I'm sure it's a boy! -Really?

Ma'am!

Congratulations. It's a boy.

-Thank God! -Both mother and child are doing well.

Thank you, Lord.

This is great!

Can--

Can we meet them?

Of course, you can, but after some time.

Okay.

It's a boy!

It's a boy!

Doctor?

Yes?

Is the child normal?

Yes, he is. Why do you ask?

Previous tests showed that there was a problem with the child.

A problem? What was the problem?

-Where did you get the tests done? -Jaipur.

It's possible that the test might have suggested a problem.

But these tests aren't always accurate.

The test results could be wrong.

They are known as false positives.

Don't worry.

The baby is absolutely fine.

He is quite fair, right?

Yes, he is.

He has taken after his dad.

God bless him!

I've never seen a more beautiful child in my life, Mimi.

You have given us a lovely grandson.

No one in the city has a child as beautiful as him!

I forgive you for all your mistakes.

-Where's the baby? -How cute!

Here.

Is this Mimi's child?

You think they'd put someone else's child here?

Uncle?

-Uncle-- -Get your hand off me.

I think Mimi has tricked this driver.

I think it is someone else's child.

Hey!

No.

Mimi hasn't taken after her father either!

Right. Zip it.

Don't touch him.

Shut up.

Aatif, click a picture of us with the baby.

This way.

Smile.

What did Mimi do…

to get a baby as beautiful as this?

She ate a fabric chalk.

Morning walk.

Look at them. Unbelievable!

They're going crazy over a white baby.

-That's Mimi's baby! -Look, a white baby!

Hey! Stay back!

"White baby!" Do you think this is a bloody museum?

How will this country get rid of color discrimination?

First, let me ward off the evil eye.

You can enter the house only after I am done.

Let me have a look at him.

You never stop amazing us, Lord.

He's like a lotus blooming in muddy water.

Mud?

Come on, let's take our lotus inside.

Let's go.

He has become a star.

His mother is a star as well.

Right.

-Here, feed him. -Again?

Here you go.

What's wrong? You can stay.

She is your wife.

I am allergic.

Allergic?

To breast milk?

Feed him ten times a day!

I'll go make something healthy for you.

How do you feel?

I don't know.

I feel different.

I had never imagined this.

Life isn't what we "imagine" will happen.

Life is what happens to us.

I had never imagined…

that I'd lose my mom so early…

or that my dad would choose a spiritual life…

or that the man I'd marry would turn out to be a monster.

But what can we do?

We have to keep moving forward.

I guess you are right.

So…

what have you decided?

What's next?

Next?

Change his diaper.

Bhanu, what's the secret of having a fair child?

Please share it with me.

You'll keep it to yourself, right?

Boil red soil with a pinch of salt and drink it.

-Really? -Of course!

Have it twice a day.

And if you manage to get a strand of white goat's beard…

it will work wonders!

-A white goat's beard? -Yes.

Thanks, bro.

Hi, Rekhu!

What's wrong with you?

Why weren't you answering my calls?

I told you I am busy.

I am traveling with the American couple.

Are you showing them the whole country?

You remember you have a family, right?

Of course, I do. That's the reason I sent some money.

I had visited a few months back, right? What more do you want?

-How's Mom? -Mom?

Mom misses you.

She keeps crying.

Hello?

Yes!

Come back, son! I miss you!

I'll come back soon, Mom.

People who go to Mumbai don't come back for years.

I keep visiting you, right?

Why bother?

Why don't you go to America with that couple?

Hang up!

Hello? Hello?

You wanna know the secret of having a fair baby as well, right?

Eat turmeric.

Drink half a glass of milk and use the other half to wash your behind.

Every day.

Something's wrong, Mom.

He hasn't come home for months!

He should've come home at least once, right?

What's wrong with this American couple? They don't want to go back.

I think I should talk to Altaf.

Uncle, my brother who lives in Saudi had called.

He's offering me a job in a hotel. He wants me to join him.

You want to work in a hotel after learning music for ten years?

I can't help it. I'll have to go.

Very good.

Go.

When you get there, find me a suitable job as well.

Sure, Uncle. I'll do that!

Have you seen him?

Him?

Of course, I've seen him!

He's the luckiest man in town!

-You know him? -Yes.

He is Mimi's husband.

-Mimi's husband? -Who is Mimi?

-He's Mimi's husband? -Yes.

He is Rekha's husband!

"Mimi's husband." Let's go, Mom.

Have you lost it?

I'll smack you!

What is this lunatic saying?

Your delicious meals remind me of my mother.

I'll introduce you to her someday.

Does Mimi live here?

Yes.

You are Mimi?

Yes. Who are you?

What do you want?

What's wrong with you? Why did you marry my husband?

Any boy would've happily married you.

What the hell are you saying? You've got the wrong house.

-Hey! Where are you going? -Stop!

God won't save you today! Don't you dare hide in the temple.

-Come with me. -Hey!

Why?

Why?

Why did you do this?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

Why did you do this?

Why?

You left your wife for this young witch?

Wife?

-His wife? -Yes.

Oh, God!

What is going on?

Son-in-law?

Is this true?

He is not your son under any law!

She is his wife.

And he is my son.

Who the hell are you guys?

Wife?

Son?

What is going on, Shobha?

What are they saying?

He's a married man!

How many more plot twists does your movie have, Mimi?

Start talking, you wretch!

You left your wife for this young girl?

I hope you at least remember your old mother!

Rekha!

Rekhu, please hear me out.

I don't want to hear a word.

My life has been ruined.

Rekhu…

Is she really your wife?

I cannot believe that two women are fighting for this driver.

He has a genie under his command, Uncle.

Hello, he has no genie under his command.

I am his wife. His first and official wife.

Are you the burqa-clad woman I'd seen with him?

A burqa-clad woman? Mom?

Oh, God! You have a Muslim wife as well?

I had told you that she was his aunt, right?

His aunt?

I don't have a sister.

Who was that woman? Why don't you tell us?

There you go!

Bastard! You were already married?

How dare you marry my daughter have a child with her?

-A child! -Yes.

-His child? -Yes.

A child…

Oh, hell!

This is a nightmare!

He had a child with her!

That's the reason he left you, Rekha.

He had a child with this tall witch because he couldn't have one with you.

Where's his child?

Where's his child?

Is that his child?

Easy! Easy!

He is sleeping.

Whose child is this?

He is my child.

Who is his father?

Your husband is his father!

Let me have a look at him.

What is this?

This is Bhanu's child?

Mimi please tell them the truth before someone ends up dead.

I am not going to die!

But I will take your dead body back with us!

-Where do you think you are going? -Hey!

You gave her such a beautiful child?

And all I got was hope.

He is not the father.

Yes!

And… I am not married to him.

Does that mean…

you are not married?

What are you saying?

I don't get it.

Tell me the truth.

Shama, please tell us!

An American couple had come here.

They had their child planted inside Mimi's womb.

They promised her a huge sum if she'd carry their baby to term.

But they didn't keep their word and they ran away.

Really? They ran away?

How can they just plant their child in her womb?

She must have done something with that American man--

No, Mom, she didn't. This is a new technology.

He is their child.

She just nurtured him in her womb.

-Oh, God! -I didn't, I swear.

She isn't married.

She didn't become a movie star.

She isn't his mother.

I am feeling dizzy.

Aatif, get me some water.

And please put some poison in it.

But, Mimi…

you gave birth to this child, right?

Yes, Mom.

So, you are his mother, right?

Yes, Mom.

I am his mother.

And he is our child.

He is your grandson.

He is our Raj.

Right.

Mimi!

Bunty was teasing me at school.

He called me a white ghost.

Why do I look so different, Mimi?

Bunty is a fool.

Don't listen to him.

You are not an ordinary child.

You see that star?

You were a star just like that one.

-Really? -Yeah.

A white angel came from the sky and she gifted you to me.

She said, "He is very smart.

He is very naughty.

And he… will need loads of chocolates!"

You don't say!

I didn't know that, Mimi.

You didn't know that, right?

The ones you've been humming since ages…

If not the lyric, at least…

Change the melody of those songs

It takes away so much

But always returns twice as much

They say…

Time takes pleasure in doing so

Life's a mystery Don't try to figure it out

Mimi, why did you name me "Raj"?

Because heroes are often named "Raj" in movies.

You are the hero of my movie, right?

Where's my heroine, Mimi?

What do you mean?

Who am I?

Mimi.

You don't say!

I didn't become a heroine because of him,

and he won't let me be a star in his life either.

People don't value talent and sacrifice.

Mimi, you lost!

Grandma! I won!

Grandma, who are these people?

Hi.

Hi.

Look at you.

This is not fair! You cheat every day.

Raj, go to your room.

Okay, Mimi.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Please forgive me.

Please, I am sorry.

I'm so glad you kept our baby.

My baby.

Mimi, this woman is saying that…

Raj is her son.

How dare you say that he is your son? Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

How dare you come back after four years and say that?

Mimi--

Mimi, we're so sorry.

-Sorry? -Yeah.

Please, just…

give us a chance to explain.

Mimi, after we left, we didn't try to have another baby through surrogacy.

Please…

we were really disturbed.

We were just trying to be happy for all this time.

One day, we saw a video on Facebook.

We saw a white boy…

dancing with his Indian mother in a hotel.

-We realized that the mother is you. -Yes!

I'm the mother!

Not you!

Okay?

You ran away.

Because you thought that your child is faulty.

The child isn't faulty!

Your thinking is faulty.

You're the problem!

You left your child in someone's womb and ran away.

You didn't even think about me.

What will I do?

What will happen to the child?

No, you'd asked me to abort the child, right?

And today, after four years, you realized that you love your child?

You think you are "mother-father" of Raj?

No!

No.

I am "mother-father" of Raj.

I gave birth to him.

I nurtured him. I raised him, not you. Do you understand?

Why are you here? What do you want?

Our baby.

Don't even think about it.

Don't you dare think about it!

Get out.

Please forgive me.

Mimi.

Mimi, look at this!

This is our house.

This is me.

That's you.

That's Bhanu.

That's Aunt Shama.

And they are Grandma and Grandpa.

What's wrong, Mimi?

Nothing.

You didn't like my drawing?

Your drawing is perfect.

What's wrong?

You'll never leave your Mimi, right?

Never!

Promise?

Promise!

How can we give the child back?

How dare they come back!

They think this is a joke?

Why didn't you slap her?

Shameless woman!

Do they think he's a toy?

"We left it behind. We want it back."

They have no right over the child.

Don't worry about them, I know a few cops.

We have brought some toys for Raj.

From the US.

I have personally bought them.

We don't want them!

Why are you back?

Mimi…

please understand.

We have faced a lot.

I have faced a lot as well!

Please, please listen.

Raj is our last hope.

You can have another child.

But I can't.

Raj will be happy with us.

You had to become a surrogate to secure your own future, Mimi.

How are you gonna secure Raj's future?

We'll make sure he has the best life in the US.

-You-- -Mimi!

Mimi!

Hi!

Hey!

Hey!

I hear your name is Raj.

My name is John.

This is Summer.

Hi!

Hi!

Auntie, are these for me?

-Yes. -Yes?

We brought these for you.

Have a look!

Look.

So many toys!

A remote-controlled aeroplane!

See!

It can fly.

Auntie, are you the white angel…

who had left me with Mimi?

Yes.

That's me.

Raj, come with me.

It's time for school!

Mimi, let me go.

I don't have school today!

Please let him play.

Look, it flies!

Thank you, Mimi.

I feel so alive being around him.

Auntie?

It has stopped working.

Okay.

Wait.

Let me help.

There you go.

I swear, Mimi…

I haven't seen Summer this happy in four years.

Stop this drama, John Ji.

Raj isn't your child.

He is Mimi's son.

No, Bhanu, he isn't.

Look at him.

Look.

You think he belongs here?

No.

He's our son and we're not going back without him.

You don't know this,

but Summer tried to--

Summer attempted suicide.

Now, do you want her to die? Because I don't.

I'm not gonna let that happen.

And I will go to any extent for my wife's happiness.

So, give me my son back…

or I will take legal action against you.

Do you understand?

-Raj! -Raj!

Stop!

Wait, you scoundrel.

Are you blind?

Are you blind?

-You couldn't see my baby? -Mimi! Mimi!

-What am I supposed to do if I lose him? -Mimi, he was playing on the road.

-So what? This is his home! -He was playing on the road.

-He will play right here! -Let him go.

-He is my son! -Let him go, Mimi.

He was playing on the road.

You don't get to decide where he plays and where he lives!

-Please go. -Buzz off.

-Go! -Go!

-Come on, Mimi. -Let's go inside, Mimi.

John Ji.

Summer Ji.

I am sorry to learn…

what you have been through.

I'm told you tried to commit suicide.

Summer Ji…

sometimes it is easier to die…

than to fight it out and survive.

You left her and ran away…

but Mimi survived.

She fought with herself, with the society…

and her dreams.

It has been a long, uphill battle.

You know that she wanted to be a movie star, right?

She is the most beautiful girl in Shekhawati!

She is the best dancer we have!

She wanted to go to Mumbai and join the film industry.

After Raj was born,

she bundled up all her dreams,

and threw them somewhere far away in the desert.

Raj is her world now.

And now you wanna come here and take legal action?

Listen, Bhanu--

Listen, John!

You think Mimi is alone?

No.

We are with her!

You can go anywhere you want. Go to any court you want.

We are ready to fight.

Let's go.

The angel is back…

to take her star.

How am I supposed to fight an angel, Shama?

The contract clearly states that you need to hand over the child after the delivery,

if they pay you what they had agreed upon.

You'll have to do it.

But they ran away and left the child with her.

That doesn't give Mimi legal rights over the child.

They will do a DNA test and prove their paternity in the court.

Bhanu, we can fight,

but it won't be easy.

It will be a long and an expensive legal battle.

Mimi and the child will have to appear in court for every hearing.

Why does the child need to go to the court?

His presence is really important.

We are fighting this case for him.

I'll take your leave.

Bhanu, let me know when the case is filed.

-Okay. -We will try our best.

Okay.

I'll walk you out.

Don't worry, Mimi.

You have our support.

You gave birth to him and you are the one raising him.

So…

how can she be his mother?

Raj might look like a foreigner,

but he is an Indian at heart, just like us.

He speaks our language.

He eats our food.

So, how can he be their son?

I've have asked the lawyer to go ahead.

I'll sell my car if we need the money to fight this case.

We can sell this house as well.

It is quite old.

Four people don't need such a big house.

Raj should go to America…

with John and Summer.

How can you say that, Mimi?

Don't let them beguile you.

Raj is your son.

It was my farm…

but the seed and the manure belonged to them, Bhanu.

Have you lost your mind?

Do you understand what you are saying?

I do, Mom.

I just needed money to go to Mumbai.

It was Summer who wanted a child.

She was the one who wanted to be a mother.

I wanted to be a movie star.

What about me?

Have you ever thought about what I wanted?

I just wanted everyone in this house to be happy

and Raj was the one who did it!

He is my grandson!

You considered him to be your son after you gave birth to him, right?

Not just you, we all did!

My wife says…

"It's a good thing we don't have a child of our own.

Raj doesn't have to compete with anyone for our love."

We keep looking for excuses to come here and meet him.

He is the soul of this house.

We will…

go to any court we have to.

We'll fight.

What will we achieve?

We will fight it out in court for years,

but what do you think we'll prove?

That Raj isn't their child?

Anyone who sees Raj with John and Summer will know that he is their child.

They will keep calling Raj to court and bombard him with questions.

What will he say?

He is just a child.

No.

I don't want him to go through this.

Mimi…

you have made wrong decisions all your life.

Don't make a mistake this time.

Our lives are at stake, my dear.

We cannot take a child away from his mother for our own happiness, Dad.

Summer is his real mother, Mom.

Let her have him.

Oh, my little birdie

Oh, my little birdie

Where are you going?

Oh, my little birdie

Oh, my little birdie

Where are you going?

Why are you leaving your home?

Why are you leaving your family?

Why are you leaving your mother?

Oh, my child

Why are you leaving your mother?

Oh, my little birdie

Oh, my little birdie

Where are you going?

Mimi!

Mimi!

Come here, my boy.

Mimi, why aren't you coming with me in the aeroplane?

-I have a show, right? -Yes.

You love Mimi's shows, right?

Yes, I love them.

I'll finish my show and join you, okay?

You know what you have to do, right?

I have to be nice to Aunt Summer and play with Uncle John.

I have to be a good boy.

Love is a strange thing

It is hard to comprehend

We won't hear you play in the house again

But your presence will be felt everywhere

Our tears will stop one day

But the void will never go away

We're…

going back.

Raj…

is your son, Mimi.

And that's my daughter.

Right there.

We drove past an orphanage.

There she was.

She was crying…

as though she was waiting for us.

She wanted a home and we wanted a child.

So, we met the lawyer.

We are adopting her.

Isn't she cute?

Summer Ji…

you are adopting her?

Yes.

Mimi…

I'll never be happy if I forcefully take Raj away from you.

And what about Raj?

Will he be able to live with me?

Without you?

That's not possible, Mimi.

You know what I realized…

after I saw you with Raj?

That you don't need to give birth to a child to be a parent.

And that you don't need to…

have your own child to be a parent.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thank you.

Thanks.

I will love her…

just as much as you love Raj.

Mimi…

we hope that we can raise our little girl the way you raised Raj.

Hi!

Hello.

What's your name?

Tara.

Tara.

Raj, say hello to Tara.

She is really cute.

Auntie, I want to sit in an aeroplane.

Raj, just get in my car and fasten your seat belt.

My car will fly faster than your aeroplane!

Your granny and your mom can be your air hostesses.

Do you have any more questions?

Mimi, when someone pees in the aeroplane,

does it fall on the ground?

See you, Summer Ji.

They say…

What you give is yours

Play…

In my lap, my moon child

In the middle of the night I still think of you

I see you in my eyes How will I get through?

All I can say is I'm sorry…

Oh, my blue-eyed son!
