All language subtitles for Gullak S01 2019 [Complete Season]

"What spell did you cast on me,
o magician."

Everyday they leave their underwear in the machine.

All grown up,
but they haven't learnt to wash their underwear.

"What spell did you cast on me,
o magician."

"What spell did you cast on me, o magician."
- Moreover they reuse it without washing.

"My crazy heart keeps calling beloved's name."
- And I always end up washing it. - Mom.

No one listens to me. - Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom.

What is it?
Why are you screaming?

With all that racket that
washing machine is making..

..what else do you expect me to do?

Of course, its like music to my ears.

And I can't control myself around it.

Come and join me.

Then you'll learn to
wash your own underwear.

I always wash my own underwear.

That one belongs to your beloved son.

Earlier he would just leave it
on the bathroom floor...

...and now, he dumps it
in the washing machine.

Progressive man.

I'm going to give him an earful
when he comes back.

He's been missing since afternoon.

And, why on earth were you screaming?

It's 3 o'clock and I am starving.

And also getting late for coaching.

- The food's ready.
- Serve it then.

I see...

You see...these clothes are tired
of dancing to the washing machine's tune.

And I need to take them upstairs
so they can get some fresh air.

I'll be right back.

Until then you can feast
on the shame that's stopping...

...you from taking your own food.

Go ahead, and feast on it, Mr. Engineer.

You've been sitting at
home for almost a year now.

And now it only shows up every Sunday.

Go ahead. Feast on it.

I am not sitting idle at home.

I am preparing for the SSC exam.

Do you even know what it means?

Staff Selection Commission.

Once I get selected,
I will give it back with interest.

No need to seek retribution.

The least you can do is fix this place.

It will be as good
as exacting revenge on me.

Hold this.

No one wants to talk straight.

Do you?

Fine, I am going.

Look at this.

She's made yellow
rice again with potatoes.

It's called 'Tehri'.

No, it's called a disappointment.

Stop calling names,
because that's exactly why..

..you don't get any nutrition.

- Just eat what I've made.
- Do I have a choice?

If you want choices,
then go stay at a hotel.

Oh, God... Mom.

'After watching this
mother-son argument...'

'...if you're imagining that this is
some kind of dark cinema...'

'...where the mother kills her
son in the end, then fine...'

'...you can imagine whatever you like.'

'You see...people of this country
judge everything too soon.'

'Because you'll find examples of such
arguments in every home in this country.'

'There is no beginning,
middle, or end to these anecdotes.'

'They start abruptly..'

..and also end in the same manner.'

'And get stored in the
cache of your memories.'

'In the piggy bank of memories.'

'Yes, that's me.'

'Comfortably sitting
in an ordinary home of India...'

'Piggy Bank.'

'Because this ordinary looking home..'

'..is a plethora of such anecdotes.'

'Pay attention, anecdotes.'

'And not a story.'

'Because, if this was a story..'

'..then the murder would've
already occurred.'

"Sometimes high, sometimes low..."

"Sometimes twisted.."

"..and sometimes straight."

"A little twisted,
and a little restrained.."

"...but I held on to it."

"A little wet, and a little dry."

"Sometimes low and sometimes high."

"Sometimes melt in
the mouth like cardamom..."

"...otherwise as hard as ginger."

"Life was a piggybank of memories."

"Life was a piggybank of memories."

Bhaiya. What are you up to?

I texted you on whatsapp.

Keep it down there.

I thought its one
of your older messages...

...which I then would have
to forward to 11 people.

And I don't have the time.

There are some people who
have all the time in the world...

...and forward messages.

Even I don't have time.

My husband has been keeping me busy.

We're renovating our home.

Rebuilding the entire first floor.

He's borrowed money from the Committee.

I see...so it was you who borrowed
money from the Committee this time.

No. This is another one.

He's been investing in a number of them.

People cannot be trusted these days.

Like the incident in Alley no. 04.

The cable guy fled with everyone's money.

- Really?
- Yes.

I even sent its video on whatsApp.

The people gave him a sound thrashing.

Really, dear, I couldn't even watch.

- But, how did you get injured?
- This is nothing.

If you ever renovate your home..

..then you can keep your
stuff over at our place.

No. We never store trash on our terrace.

We sell it off.

But some people like to hog all the junk.

We don't either.

But I guess there's still
time before you renovate your home.

Not at all.

Even we are thinking
about renovating our home.

My husband's been investing too.

Yeah...and soon
your children will get jobs.

- Did Annu clear his SSC?
- No, he's still trying.

He's been working really hard.
I am sure he'll clear it this year.

He's not too smart in his studies.

I met him when I went
to link my Aadhar card (ID).

He was smoking a cigarette.

I was wondering whether
I should tell you or not.

Not at all,
I am sure you saw someone else.

Annu doesn't indulge in such bad habits.

Yes, it must be someone else.

But he looked like Annu.

You'll have to renovate your home
before his wedding.

No. We'll do it much earlier.

And he's just 22.

These days boys don't get
married before they turn 30.

Yeah...

And he'll turn 30 by
the time he finds a job.

Annu.

Annu.

- I think someone's at the door.
- Yeah.

Annu.

He must be busy studying.

I'll go take a look.

Annu.

Annu.

He must be studying.

Good for nothing, and

not to mention he's
a complete embarrassment.

Don't you hear the doorbell?

- I am eating.
- Eating...

What happened?

Aman. What happened?

Did someone hit you?

Huh...?

Annu, come out.

Come out.

Someone hit Aman.

What happened?

Why aren't you saying something?
What happened?

What happened, Aman?

Tell me. What happened?

Tell us.
Mom is asking.

Who hit you?

What happened?

I was playing in the park
when Ravi from Lane no. 4 arrived...

...and wanted to bowl.

But when I refused he hit me.

Ravi, who?

The cable guy's son who ran
away with the Committee's money?

That bloody Ravi...

- Calm down.
- Where is my phone?

Where is my phone?

Calm down. Calm down.

You won't' get into a fight.

- You won't hit him?
- Where are your friends?

They are still getting thrashed
and I came home with my bat.

You did the right thing, son.
I'll go talk to his mother right now.

What go and talk?

You're not going to talk to anyone?
I will talk to him now.

Lucky.

Where are you?

Buying bananas?

My brother's been beaten up.

Yes, Lucky. It was Ravi.

The cable guy's son who ran
away with the Committee's money?

Stop trying to justify him.

Get to the ground with your boys,
understand.

Go get a chain.

No.

No.

We're going to show
them once and for all today.

Those boys are in for trouble today.

Gather around all your
boys and get to the ground.

He hit my brother. That bloody...

- Now hang up.
- Come on.

Hit him with this bat.

No, no, no, no.

Where do you think you're going?

Come on.

Come.

You won't go anywhere, Annu.

Wait.
Aman. Annu.

'The women in this country have
an infallible weapon at their disposal...'

'...right from the time
they become mothers.'

'For most of the mothers,
this weapon is their temper...'

'...and they use it to
keep things under control.'

'But some things are
beyond its influence.'

'And that's when she
resorts to her other weapon.'

'Papa, of course.'

It was entirely his fault.

All he asked was to let him bowl...

...but he tried to be a wise guy.

You could've ruined our friendship..

..not to say severed our
cable connection for good.

Who was it?

That Ravi from Lane no. 4.

The cable guy's son, who...

Yes, The cable guy's son
who fled with everyone's money.

And I have a video about him.

Do you want to see it?
Do you?

What am I trying to
explain to you?

If someone hits his younger brother,
it's natural for his blood to boil.

Yes.

They didn't get in a fight,
go get me some tea.

It must be boiling now, like you.

I wish I had daughters instead.

At least they could've
lent me a hand in the kitchen.

Girls of his age only know how
to make instant noodles and Musically.

What's that?

Show him.

I am talking about you.

"Your love has made me..."

Why do you see videos of guys?

By the way, who brought this pineapple?

I told Lucky to get
something to hit the guy.

Since he was at the market,
he brought this pineapple.

So...

Can we have pineapple with tea?

What's wrong?

- What's wrong?
- Nothing is wrong.

What do you want me to say?
Nothing is wrong.

Nothing at all.

- Annu, say sorry to your mom.
- But...

No, no, don't tell him to apologize.

Tell him to embarrass
me some more in the locality.

- How did I embarrass you?
- What else do you do?

I study hard,
I exercise and go to coaching classes.

- Did you go today?
- I...

Because he got in trouble today.

Wonderful, son.
How do you hope to find a job like this?

And married too?

I'll cover up what I missed...

...and I am not getting
married before I turn 30.

Let me make that clear.
Son, when I turned 30...

...even your class 3
teacher used to hit on me.

She looked just like
Anuradha Porwal, I swear.

Yeah...because you look like Anil Kapoor,
don't you?

I am sure she even wrote you
a love letter with her blood.

Show me.

Where are you hiding it?
In which closet?

Show me.

Show me.

Shut up!

If this continues,
Annu, you will never get a job.

And never get married...

...and even this home will
continue to be the way it is.

And you can stay right here.

In this home.

Just like this.

No.

The home needs urgent renovation.

Hmmm... The home needs urgent renovation.

You're right,
the home needs urgent renovation.

We'll have a staircase up there,
and below it, we'll build a bathroom.

No, we'll have separate bathrooms.

You're right, father.

If ones bathing and the other wants to
use the loo, then that will be a problem.

Yes.

And you visit the bathroom
atleast five times a day.

Wait. I'll tell you.

The staircase won't go straight,
we'll make it spiral.

First the bathroom,
then the loo, and the kitchen.

I see, so you want to build
the kitchen next to the loo.

We'll install tiles here first,
then wooden cabinets on this side.

And a big fridge on this side.

I am thinking let's first
break the house down and...

No. My father built this house.

- He personally built every brick...
- Father.

Grandpa even built the roof,
but unfinished.

You broke it down and made a new one.

And your father only built
this house but never lived here.

Don't get emotional.

Mom, we'll build an English bathroom.

No. Indian toilets are better.

Haven't you seen Film 'Piku'?

Amitabh Bachchan's constipation
problems were cleared.

- Where did he go?
- Indian toilet.

Yeah...

But it will be very
problematic when you get old.

Imagine the plight of your knees.

That's right, Annu.

Fine. We'll build an Indian loo below,
and an English one above.

- Right.
- That reminds me.

We'll build a room instead of the hall.

The room will open towards the kitchen.

And we'll have open space over here.

What say?

Mr. Rathi.

Mishra speaking. From Lane no. 7.

From the electricity department.

What is the rate of bricks these days?

And cement?

That's too expensive.

Back in the days,
bricks would cost only a rupee.

No. We're renovating our home...

Mr. Rathi, I'll call you up later.

Let's talk at your shop, okay.

Goodnight. Hang up.

Aren't you going too fast?

Call up the carpenter as well.

We'll have to find a good carpenter...

What is this garbage
you've piled up here?

Get rid of it.
Give it to the junk seller.

That's not ours,
it belongs to Bittoo's mother.

She gave me a hard day today.

That's all she can do actually.

Don't say that.

She is our mother's best friend.

Yes...and my best friend was
saying that she saw you smoking.

- What?
- You were smoking?

No, no, no...

No, mom. No, father, that's not true.

Don't believe her.

Do you know what happened
with her at Shani market?

What?

You don't know.

No.

She went to brother
Bille's shop to buy a suit.

Now, brother Bille being brother Bille.

He refused to give it in 150 rupees.

She stood there at
his shop for over an hour.

Kept saying to his customers don't
buy from him, his products are overpriced.

...don't buy from him,
his products are overpriced.

Then he called up his wife.
She came down immediately.

That Punjabi lady, who eats non-veg...

She taught her a lesson, she cleaned
her clock, in the middle of the road.

Every other person who
came along took a chance too.

Even her video is
circulated in the village.

And now she's covered in bandages.

Listen...

Stay away from that creepy woman.

Don't try to teach me.

What do we do now?

What else? Ignore her.

What about the house?

Ohh...that.

Let's make a budget first.

So that's for the iron rods.

Yes, father.

Now for the bricks, 20.

Don't forget the sand and stones.

Yeah...

- What about gravel?
- I already added that with grit.

And...labour.

Yes, Labour.

That comes to...

That's about it.

What's the total?

Father, lets put it on hold.

or let's get it build.

Yes, but we'll have to borrow money.

Meaning we'll need a loan.

And you haven't saved up any money either.

Listen, let's not be hasty.

It's not like homes are built every day.

We'll do it once he finds a job.

And we'll do a good job when we do.

Well, it's getting really late.

I've to finish making dinner as well.
- Listen.

Yes.

How about some chocolate Ice-cream?

After dinner.

Annu, go get some ice-cream after dinner.

Okay. Let me take some rest now.

Let's go.

Your demands are never-ending.

Father... teach me to woo girls.

Staircases from here...

'One can often see
in the homes of India...'

'...when the mother gets
restless over some issue.'

'Be it the elder son's job,
younger one's wet pants..'

'..or their own home.'

'Her restlessness never
demands a solution.'

'And even if she does,
all she wants is an assurance.'

'Just assurance.'

'And these assurances
turn into anecdotes.'

'...and gets deposited in the
bank of memories.'

Annu, go get some curd from the diary.

And he still owes me 5 rupees for
the milk I bought from him in the morning.

Don't forget that.

Are you making a salad?

Don't forget to use cucumbers.

With salt.

Where are you going?

I am going to take a
bath because it's too hot.

If I see your underwear
in the washing machine again...

...then I will tear it apart.

You and your underwear.

Understand.

Now get lost.

What's so funny?

Go and get milk.
I mean curd.

Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

What?

What are you making with the curd?

Oh, God. Mom. Not that again.

What?

Yellow rice with potatoes?

It's called Tehri.

It's called a disappointment.

"Ram walks in front. Laxman at the back."

"Ram walks in front. Laxman at the back."

"And Sita walks in the middle."

"And Sita walks in the middle."

"The cow walks in front.
The calf at the back."

"The cow walks in front.
The calf at the back."

"And the cowherd walks in the middle."

"And the cowherd walks in the middle."

I am leaving. - Okay.

Who is she?

Aunt Mishra.
She lives in the alley behind our house.

Lane no 7?

Yes. Her husband works
in the electricity department.

He has moustache. - Okay.

He has a lot of attitude.

Her son is very good.

Annu.

He lifts iron early morning.

Where is my tea?

In the kitchen.

I am aware of that.
Why didn't you bring it?

My hands were full.

Go get it.

Can't you see? I am having tea.

Get it yourself.

I am not your servant.

Annu's mom, you are leaving so soon.

Yes. It's time for his papa to return.

I haven't made dinner yet.

Bittu's mom wasn't to be seen today.

I didn't invite her.
She comes and starts dancing.

Last time she fell
on my legs while dancing.

Look. Broke my bone.

How is your leg now? - Fine.

Have you heard?

Someone's cylinder got stolen in A block.

My sister-in-law stays there.

She told me. This is the eighth cylinder.

That's why I don't leave the house empty.

Today Annu and Aman are at home. So I came.

I have not seen Annu and
Aman since so many years. - Yes.

Earlier whenever I would see them..

..they would be fighting.

Kids are bound to fight.

Lower the volume

Lower it.

Lower the volume.

Why don't you sit outside?

Don't you have your paper tomorrow?

It's practical. My preparation is done.

I have to only make the chart.
You make it.

I was waiting for you. - I said..

Don't increase the volume.
Let me warn you.

Will you switch it off or not?

I am doing my work.

Now try to increase it.

Don't increase it, Aman. I will kick you.

Don't you understand?

Lower the volume.
Aman, or else I will beat you.

Stop.

Both should live amicably.

I will come some other time at leisure.
Okay? - Yes.

Bye.

"The world cannot function
without Lord Ram."

"Lord Ram cannot function
without Hanuman."

"The world cannot function
without Lord Ram."

"Lord Ram cannot function
without Hanuman."

"Without Ram. Without Sita and Ram."

"Without Lord Ram."

"The world cannot function
without Lord Ram."

"Lord Ram cannot function
without Hanuman."

"Lord Ram cannot function
without Hanuman."

"Lord Ram cannot function
without Hanuman."

"Lord Ram cannot function
without Hanuman."

"Lord Ram cannot function
without Hanuman."

"Lord Ram cannot function
without Hanuman."

Mama!

Annu's mom.

Bittu's mom. How are you? - Fine.

You didn't come for the discourses.

Mrs. Gupta is envious of me.

She didn't invite me
because I dance really well.

Hello, aunt.
- Hello. How are you, son?

Fine.

Buy vegetables.

Isn't he Chaudhary's younger son? - Yes.

He was doing some business.

Yes. He had started online business.

He used to sell vegetables on internet.

Nobody purchased it online.

So he is selling it on a handcart.

Yes.

What happened to your eyes?

It's nothing. Just like that.

Did you hear? - Yes.

Someone's cylinder got stolen in A block.

Yes. Mrs. Gupta was telling me.

There were voices coming
from your house too.

Go and check.

No. Annu and Aman...are at home.

- I will leave now.
- Okay?

At least give me offering.

Oh yes!

Here.

Okay.

I will eat it at home with tea.

Why have you kept the door open?

What if someone steals the cylinder?

Often people of our country
gain inspiration for a happy..

..family life from wordings
written behind autos and trucks.

For example,
we are two and we have two children.

But once you have two children..

..there are innumerable
fights that follow.

Because in today's times if
there is love between two brothers..

..then there are fights too.

Also, there are tales. Not stories.

Because had it been a story..

..people wouldn't have
got inspired by these lines.

"Sometimes high, sometimes low..."

"Sometimes twisted..

"..and sometimes straight."

"A little twisted

and a little restrained.."

"...but I held on to it."

"A little wet"

"and a little dry."

"Sometimes low and sometimes high."

"Sometimes melt in
the mouth like cardamom..."

"...otherwise as hard as ginger."

"Life was a piggybank of memories."

"Life was a piggybank."

What do you want? - Me?

What do you want? - Nothing.

Mama. - Tell me.

I have my practical tomorrow.

My preparation is complete.
I have to only make the chart.

So make it.

You know I am bad at drawing.

Yes. I know.
In 9th standard your teacher told you..

..to draw cup and plate.

And you drew shoes.

Brother told me in the morning.

That he will make the chart for me.

Yes. So tell him to make it.

If I tell him, he won't make it.

Never.

Okay.

Did you guys fight when I was out?

Huh?

Tell me. I won't scold you. Tell me.

What happened?

Mama, I was watching TV.
He didn't let me watch it.

He started beating me.

Mama, my lips started bleeding. See this.

Show me. - Here.

If I go out,
I have to worry about you guys.

Your voices could be heard outside.

Annu. Annu.

Come here.

Will you guys kill each other?

Annu.

What am I saying?

Come out, Annu. Come out.

Your hands are working a lot.
Will you kill him?

Will you kill him?

Yes. He also beat me.
He also punched me. You do not see that.

See this. I have got a scratch. - Oh God!

He is younger. Don't you have any sense?

Let your father come. I will tell him.

What happened?

Why have you kept the door open?

What if someone steals the cylinder?

Forget the cylinder. See your sons.

They have quarreled
and scratched each other.

Should you fight like that?

What happened? Tell me.

Papa, I was watching TV.
He didn't let me watch it.

I said.. - He is lying.

I told him to lower the volume.

He was showing attitude.
And he spoke in a raised voice.

He said, "Am I your father's servant?"

How many lies will you speak, brother?

Look. He is back answering.

He is bound to.
He takes after his mother. - What?

What did you say?

I was saying...I have got chicken.

Chop onions. I will prepare it.
- I know everything.

Under the pretext of chicken,
you will start drinking.

It's okay once in a while.

Come on.

Come on. Say sorry to each other.

I won't tell him sorry.

I won't say it at all.

Fine.

Father has no respect in this house.

Don't say sorry.

If I see you talking to each other,
then I will show you.

And you. Don't you
have your paper tomorrow?

Practical.
- Yes. Exactly.

Go and study.

You also go and study.

If you don't pass this time,
I won't spare you.

I will give you a nice chokeslam.

Got that?

You also listen.

What?

Fridge in ice..

Is there ice in fridge?

Yes.

Yes. Fine.

I will take it.

Why are you staring at my face?

Go and study.

Silence.

The silence between two brothers.

Look. It's very rare.

Brothers are those..

..who might mean anything to each other..

..whether friend or enemy,
but there is never silence between them.

Watch ahead. There's a lot coming up.

Ibrahim is selling chicken so expensive.

Rs.150 for 750 gm. Tell me.

It's bound to be if everyone eats chicken.

Yes.

Tell me something.
- Yes.

Chop onion lengthwise.
Don't chop it so finely.

Add whole spices.

Ginger, garlic..
- I know.

Yes.
- Mama.

I am not able to do it.

I won't come first.

See this.

Annu.

Annu.

Annu.
- What is it?

Help him in making the chart.

What did you say?

What did you say? Say it again.

What did you say?

He has his practical exam.
He is unable to make the chart.

You said you will help him.

Come on. Help him.

No.

Tell him I don't want
him playing GTA on my laptop.

The laptop belongs to both of you.
- Yes, mama.

Everything I have belongs to him.

That's why he wears my t-shirt
and dances on the street..

..like Shahrukh Khan.

If you touch my t-shirt,
I won't spare you.

What not spare you?

Shall I show you?

Your younger brother
is telling you to help him.

- So help him.
- Leave it.

Since childhood I have faced
exploitation in this house..

..because of my younger brother.

In childhood I would
want to watch Dragon Ball Z.

He would watch Doremon.

I didn't come to know when Goku died.

Yes. You also sold papa's
liquor bottles without telling me.

You didn't even give me money.

Once he sold your packed
liquor bottle, papa.

What are you saying?

You are backbiting on me. Backbiter.

Didn't you backbite on
me when I used to go to play?

I taught you how to hit the ball.

Did you teach me? - Enough!

Oh man!

Fight.

Both of you fight.

Break each other's limbs.
I will call an ambulance.

No. I am not fighting, mom.
I am just telling you.

You have pampered him.

That's why he backbites. Backbiter.

If you don't want to make the chart,
it's fine.

But don't call me a backbiter.

Did I tell mom and dad that
you had misbehaved with a girl?

Oh God! - No. No, mom.

No. Papa, it's nothing like that.

I will tell you.
Let's have a one-to-one conversation.

Tell me. If you approach
a girl for the first time..

..doesn't she feel you are misbehaving?

Yes or no? Papa, speak the truth.

It's possible.
- What are you saying?

You won't understand. Hold on.

What? - Listen, mom and dad.

I will tell you.

He gave a greeting card to his senior.

He wrote a love letter.

Her friend thrashed him on the road.
Bashed him up.

You are speaking so many lies.

Brother, you will incur a sin.

I am not lying. I went and saved him.

I don't speak about myself.

I am Anand Mishra. What is my name?

Anand Mishra.
- Annu.

When they found out in school..

..no girl gave me any importance.

It's your mother's doing.
Your uncle's name is Pinky.

His name is Vishwa Pratap.

Yes. But he behaves like a girl.

His wife beats him.

Look. They have fought.

Now we will start fighting.
Let me warn you.

Now you are feeling bad.

End it. Come on. End it.

Don't spoil your mood.

Go and make chicken.

Okay?

Make it.

You know he is bad at drawing.

Yes. In 7th standard his teacher..

..told him to make a lotus flower.

He made Mahatma's flag.

Yes. He is dimwit.
And let him remain dimwit.

Mama, I don't care
whether he fails or passes.

Mama, nobody fails because of four marks.

Leave it. I will make the chart.

Okay. Make it.

Here.

Go and make it.

Go and make it.

Acting too smart.

Go and make it.

Papa, shall I go to Bittu's mom's place?

Bittu is good at it. His drawing is good.

Bittu's mom is wearing dark glasses.

Yes.

I saw her on the street.

Why is she wearing dark glasses?

Don't you know?

She offered Rs.150 at Hanuman's temple.

She didn't get sweet ball as offering.
She got offended.

She sat down on the floor.

And started shouting slogans.

I will sacrifice myself for the temple.

I will sacrifice myself for the temple.

A Naga sage was meditating over there.

The sage got offended.

He picked up an urn filled with ashes.

And threw it at her eyes.

Good. - The ashes went into her eyes.

Her eyes got damaged.

She is wearing dark glasses.

Dark. - Yes.

Mama.

Dark glasses. - I am unable to do it.

Yes. Score less marks.

You also do SSC after engineering..

..and sit and eat at home.

Yes. Even the ground abhors a freeloader.

Don't take it seriously.

They say it in their anger.

Son, listen. Annu. Annu.

Annu.

Son.

Nothing..

Both mother and son say anything.

You dislike it that I am sitting at home.

Fine.

Annu.

Annu.

Annu. - Annu.

Where are you going? Listen.

Annu.

Because of him I scold him a lot.

Wonder where he is gone.

Don't worry. He will be back.

Say sorry when he comes back.

At times you overdo it.

Mama.
- Stop saying that.

Or else I am going to beat you.

Can't you do your work on your own?

Why are you yelling at him?

Come on. Go.

Wait, son.
I will make your chart or whatever it is.

In my school days I have made many huts..

..flags and natural landscapes.

Come on. Get up. I will make it for you.

Come on.

It's so easy.

Look. Keep it here.

And draw a line.
- Papa. Papa, it's wrong.

Why are you trying to be M.F. Husain?

Leave it.

Are you underestimating your father?

If Salman Khan can paint, can't I paint?

It's straight.

Papa, it's not straight. Look.

Hey! Look. - It's going like that.

Shall I make it or not?

Don't make it.

Now watch how I make it.

Here. It's simple. Keep it here.

And from here..

I am definitely not going to come first.

You wouldn't have
come first otherwise too.

You have grown so big.

If you draw it on a pink chart paper..

..everybody will think you are a sissy.

That's why I was wondering
why my talent is not revealing itself.

Because of this pink chart paper.

Why are you sulking?

I will make it.

My son has come.

I have kept leg piece for you.
Shall I bring it?

Let me first do the work.

Then I will eat it.

Bring ice-cream after dinner. Okay?

Why this sudden change of heart?

So that you also don't
become a freeloader like me.

As it is,
even the ground abhors a freeloader.

I went out and wondered.

That you need me a lot.

You see, you are dim-witted.

You see, we are two sons.

I am elder to you. I will progress.

I will have money and car.

You will remain poor.

If you want to do any business..

..you will come to me for money.

What will you do if
I refuse to give you money?

You will commit theft.

You will steal nuptial chain,
purse and cylinder.

My image will get spoilt.
- What intoxicant did you take..

..when you went out?

Annu has become so sensible.

He takes after his father.

Do you remember?

Both brothers had stole iron rods
from the neighbours construction and sold it

I had beaten them a lot.

Why did you remember it just now?

No. It came to my mind. So I said it.

Nothing..

Did you meditate the chicken?

- Mariate.
- Marinate.

Yes. Whatever.

I have made his chart. Give me money.

I will go bring ice-cream.

Oh yes! Take it from my purse.

Listen. Take it from my purse.

And take Rs.100 extra.

Tidbits have got over. Buy it for Rs.20.

And both of you keep Rs.40 each.
Fine? - Good.

They are bringing ice-cream.

Let them enjoy. Go, son.

Come on.

No. It's okay. It's good.

But salt is a little less.

Regardless of the fights between..
..two brothers in modern times.

Just a little love is
enough to resolve the quarrels.

No matter how the relation is in this era.

Sour, sweet, bitter or spicy.

But it shouldn't be bland.

And when they savor this tangy relation..

..that's when it becomes
we are two and we have two children.

Do you know how much it hurt?

Yes. You were talking too much nonsense.

Now keep your mouth shut.
Bholu. - Bholu.

Bholu, give me my favorite.

Shall I take a toffee? - Take it. - Yes.

How is sister-in-law?
- She is fine.

Oh Lord!

I thought you will spill
the beans about this too.

Did I tell them?

You are a kid. Got that?

You don't start smoking.

If he comes, tell me.

Bittu's mom.

You moron!

"The world cannot function
without Lord Ram."

"Lord Ram cannot function
without Hanuman."

"The world cannot function
without Lord Ram."

"Lord Ram cannot function
without Hanuman."

"Without Ram. Without Sita and Ram."

"Without Lord Ram."

"Wake up, wake up, wake up..
it's a brand new day!"

"Wake up, wake up, wake up..
everything begins today!"

"Wake up.."

"Wake up, wake up, wake up..
it's a brand new day!"

"Wake up, wake up, wake up..
everything begins today!"

Even on a Sunday he
sets an alarm for 6 am!

"Wake up, wake up, wake up..
it's a brand new day!"

Get up Annu's papa.

Why are you yelling
at 6am on a Sunday morning?!

Spoilt my sleep!

I am not yelling your phone is!

How did you know its 6am?

From the alarm.

If you are awake and the phone
is besides you, can't you switch it off?!

I am not awake. I am still sleeping.

I am talking in my sleep.
Go to sleep.

Make potato stuffed
Indian bread for breakfast.

This man doesn't forget to
ask for favors even in his sleep!

Good morning. Today is Sunday.

And something different on a Sunday.

"Wake up, wake up, wake up.."

That one is for 6.15 am.

I am done sleeping now!

Great! Just one Sunday I get to relax..

..and you can't even bear that much!

Why are you accusing
me early in the morning?!

Don't you have any other work?

If you don't,
then start the motor and fill the tank.

Fill it up please.
The water supply will stop.

If you are so concerned,
why don't you do it yourself!

I am sleeping.

Good morning.

Theirs isn't so good,
so thought I will wish you.

And anyways,
doing something special on a Sunday..

..has been a part of a rule
in these ordinary households since long.

It includes some special
food to some special sleeping.

I mean sleeping till late specially.

And many times,
these are rules are broken very easily..

Just like it happened just now.

But don't worry.

There is no punishment
for breaking these rules.

What you get are just episodes..
not stories.

Because in stories, hearts don't matter.

And then, this episode is of a Sunday.

"Sometimes high, sometimes low..."

"Sometimes twisted.."

"..and sometimes straight."

"A little twisted,
and a little restrained.."

"...but I held on to it."

"A little wet, and a little dry."

"Sometimes low and sometimes high."

"Sometimes melt in
the mouth like cardamom..."

"...otherwise as hard as ginger."

"Life was a piggybank of memories."

"Life was a piggybank. "

Mummy, make some tea.

Did you brush your teeth?

There is no water in the bathroom.

Just gargled and came.

So you will have tea without brushing!

Give him! A lion never brushes!

He is no lion.. he is Mishra-ji's lamb!

And he is just like his father!

Annu.. get the tool box please.

Yes.

Mother, did you wake up early?

I mean when your sleep isn't
complete you become irritable.

I see! I am irritable!

I am irritable, is it!

Both father and son are alike!

Really! Then call the one who is like you.

Keeps sleeping till 9 in the morning.

And when we go there, he will cry.

I am not sleeping. Am in the toilet.

The water is over. I am trapped inside.

Son.. are you trapped
or is your trapped?!

Great! Keep sitting!

Will send some hot potato
stuffed Indian bread inside.

And come out only after
you brush your teeth!

Forget it.

Bittu, get at tin of water from mummy,
or else he will sleep inside.

She is not home. She is in hospital.

Hospital?!

You don't know?

She had greying hair.

So she used to eat Indian gooseberry.

Someone told her she
should eat the seed also.

And so she started eating it too.

And day before, the seed was
too hard and she broke her tooth.

Does anyone go to a
hospital for a broken tooth?

But she also got kidney
stones because of the seeds.

She is being operated for that.

Dr. Mahawar is treating her.

Annu.. take this..
get some water from the buffalo guy.

Don't make me struggle
so early on a Sunday morning!

You very well know what
an aggressive woman that lady is.

Not more than your father!

She won't fight with me just
for taking some water from the hand pump.

And don't give me this Sunday excuse!

Every day is Sunday for you.

Take this and get going.

Go on!

And why are you fretting with it.

You won't be able to do it,
call the plumber!

Why won't I be able to do it?

Of course! You're a magician!

You will spit on it and
it will start working, right!

Call the plumber, he will do it quickly.

Forget it.

This is a technical job.
Bird brains can't do it.

Plumbers are smart. That is their job.

I am talking about you.

Are you in a mood to fight?
Tell me if it is so!

Are you in a mood to fight?

Go away lady!

Mummy.. I am trapped
here since fifteen minutes!

I have to go for a game of cricket.

We have a match today.

Annu has gone to get some water.

The motor won't be repaired today I think!

Not even a single holiday
passes when I can spend..

..a relaxed day with the family.

Last Sunday,
you started painting the cooler.

And also colored the
whole terrace doing that.

And to top it,
you fainted after inhaling the paint!

Have you ever smelled paint? Have you?!

It is intoxicating.

A person can faint in no time!

And anyways I was doing
something for the house.

What rubbish!

And the Sunday before that..
you were distributing invitation..

..cards, whose daughter was that?!

And the man never invited
you for the wedding!

So.. it is modern times.
These things happen!

Yes, it is modern time.
And everything bad happens to you only!

All your holiday passes just like that.

You will take up some job,
waste 4 hours doing it.

And still that job
would be not done properly.

And then, your condition
will be like that of Sunny Deol's..

..in the movie,
'Border', after the war ends.

He doesn't do any job,
just keeps roaming..

..because all the work
is done by the soldiers.

Right now,
stuffed Indian bread is being made.

The house is left to be sweep and swopped.

The utensils need to be washed.

And to add it clothes also to be washed!

And there isn't a drop
of water left in the tank.

And when I tell him,
he says it is technical job.

Bird brains won't understand.

If I had known that
you were so over smart..

..I would have never marry..

What were you saying?

I am Sunny Deol of the movie, 'Border'?

I can't do any job properly.

If you had known before,
you wouldn't have married me.

Yes. That's what I was saying.

Aman..

Aman..
- Yes..

Did you get any water?

Yes. Enough to wash myself.

Then go on.

Here comes some more.

Flush with it and if any is left,
take a bath too.

Annu.. the plumber's
number is lying under my bed.

Go and get it.

Have you ever seen a mountain
built from a mole hill?

You surely must have.

In the houses in these lanes,
it is very common.

But over here,
before they become mountains..

..they become arguments.

Just as the argument between parents.

In the parents don't stop at arguing..

..then the problem so
created is called a clash.

Today, in this house of the lane,
there will be a clash.

Mummy, I will leave as
soon as I eat the breakfast.

I have a big match today. Don't stop me.

Papa, the plumber is on the way.
Why are you trying to be the expert?

Alright then.. u start now.

May be your engineering
degree can be put to use.

Mummy, I have done civil engineering.

And this is a mechanical job.

And now I am doing SSC.

To hell with your SSC.

I never see you studying.

Yes. Tell me what is
happening in Syria these days.

- Yes, tell me.
- Yes, tell me.

In Syria, plots are being made
for the creative people..

to make Oscar deserving film
for the year 2050.

If you want to know any more than that,
visit youtube..

..watch it and read it.
And let me lift my weights!

Look, look..
how the boy is back answering!

And why not! After all he
has learned it from his father.

Hey! Why should everything end,
by accusing me!

Do something. Go inside and sleep.

When your sleep is incomplete,
you're irritable all the day.

I see!

I should go and sleep?!
Then who will do the chores?

You had demanded stuffed Indian bread.

Who will make it? Tell me!

Who will make it! You?

Why not?! Can't I make?!

I will also make chutney
to go with the bread!

I won't serve it with sauce like you do.

Annu.. get some coriander,
chilly and tomato from the fridge.

Aman.. take some money from
mother's purse and get some butter.

I will apply butter also.

Dare you touch my purse!

It is my money lying in your purse.

Alright! Keep your
money and the purse too!

In an argument, after pointing
out each other's shortcomings..

..things move towards
each others' relatives.

Everyone in your family is a gambler..

All the time they can be
seen shuffling cards under a tree!

And everyone in your family is fraud!

Your maternal uncle's son
swindled 10000 bucks of mine..

..in a network marketing scheme.

He said I could buy
a BMW in a couple of years!

Nonsense!
He is riding a bicycle these days.

Ok. But your mother is no less!

She came and lived here for four months.

I served her so much.
But she goes back and says..

..daughter-in-law ignores me!

And your father..
your father.. just a minute!

What sickness your
maternal grandfather has?

OCD..

Yes! Your father has OCD!

I sent him to get a haircut for the kids.

But he came back bald
and had the kids go bald too!

Don't get my father in to this!
I tell you!

So you also don't bring my
mother into this, ok! I tell you!

And the whole family knows about
what you did after getting drunk..

..at my brother's wedding!
You climbed the drummer..

..and danced on his shoulders!

Yes. So? Are you any less?

When my people come,
you are always in the kitchen.

And when your people come,
you behave like..

..the Americans who have seen a UFO.

- How is that?
- Over excited!

Oh sister-in-law!
You are here! Please sit! Please sit!

Aman.. Aman.. start the cooler!

Scream! Scream louder!

Let the entire neighborhood
know what is going on in this house.

Get aside!

I will make my own bread.

Just made a couple of stuff breads
and he has ruined the whole kitchen!

Who is playing these songs?

They have been playing since four days.

There is a wedding at
the buffalo lady's house.

Tell her to stop.

I won't! You don't
know how dangerous she is.

She fought with her husband
and chopped his ear off.

He became blind.

How can one become blind
if an ear is chopped?!

He already had a weak sight.

He couldn't wear his glasses
when his ear was chopped.

And thus he became blind.

Yes Lucky..

Wait. Hello..

Hello..

No. Not playing at our house.

It's been playing in the
neighboring buffalo lady's house..

..since four days. Can't even study.

What will you do!

Alright. Do whatever you want.

But be careful.
She is a treacherous woman.

She releases her buffaloes to run after.

Hey mummy!

Why do you do this!!!

Come here.. sit down. Father, move.

Dip her finger in water?

Dip her finger in water.

If there is any water!

You shut up!

I don't want to talk to you.

Even I don't want to talk to you!

Shut your mouth.

I shouldn't have married you at all!

Ok, you should have married someone else!

You could have married
that engineer who rejected you.

Tell why he rejected you? Come on, tell!

I will tell.

Because she had head lice.

I have got a rejected piece!

What are you saying, papa?!

Mummy, you eat your stuffed bread!

Mummy.. mummy..

mummy..

Go on eat!

Mummy, come on eat. Take.

Hello..

What!

Wait, I am coming. Ok, wait.

Papa..

Papa..

Lucky has cut off the electricity
supply to the buffalo woman's house.

He climbed the pillar.

He is not being able to come down.

He has called me.

Silence..

The most emotional part of an argument.

If the father loses in this battle,
the silence is short lived.

But if the mother loses.. only
the mother can tell how long it will last.

Most of the time, mothers don't
say anything in this silent period.

They just lie on one end of the bed.

But papa tries to do a lot.

Have your tea.

The plumber had come.

He has repaired the motor.

Now it won't break down.

We will install a bigger tank.
I have discussed with him.

A branded one.

In summers,
the water in it will not get warm in noon.

It also has a warrantee
of 17 and half months.

Is your sleep complete?

Ok.. shall I massage your head?

Satyaprakash Tiwari..

That was the name of the engineer, right?

He had visited my office the other day.

God knows why..
he rejected you for head lice.

And he himself is totally bald now.

Just like Anupam Kher.

I admit I am bit reckless.

But definitely smarter than him.

Smile.

Half of Sunday passed this way.

Get chicken. Annu had asked me to cook.

Annu keeps saying that every week.

You tell what you want to eat.

Will you have 'Rohu' fish?

No.. alright.

Ok. I'll get chicken.

At least smile now.

Properly.

Properly.

"There is a popular saying in English.

And they lived happily ever after.

For more than half
couples of this country..

..this saying makes no sense.

Because here,
people, along with happiness..

..also tolerate sadness,
quarrels and insult.

Anyways, there is a
popular saying in Hindi..

..it says that if you only get happiness..

..happiness loses is value."

Remember, last time we
had a fight like this one.

I came to console you and Aman was born.

Think over.. they do need a sister.

'Raksha Bandhan' is also approaching.

You talk a lot these days. Understand.

Hello. This is Rabish Kumar.

I am taking you into darkness.

There is no technical glitch.

Your signal is working fine.

This darkness is today's TV's reality.

Brother Annu isn't with you?

- We have purposely caused this darkness.
- Where are you?

- You can say that your drawing room's light is switched off.
- Fine. Fine.

- And I am..
- I will inform you if he comes home.

Yes.

I know that I will do the same thing.
- Fine. Fine.

That I have been doing.

Yes. This is Balaji temple
where ghosts and spirits are exorcised.

These women who are spinning their heads..

..have been possessed
by ghosts and spirits.

This Balaji temple situated in Mehandipur..
- This is the temple.

Where witches are exorcised.

Everybody in the locality has rubbed..

..henna and turmeric outside their home.

I am also thinking of
observing fast on Fridays.

You also start observing fast.

Okay. At least organize discourses.
- No, Bittu's mom.

I don't believe in such superstitions.
- Okay.

There are dim-witted people
who believe in all this.

Witches get exorcised.

Lord Ganesh's idol drinks milk.

Sacred fig tree.. - No. No.

Sacred fig tree's saying
is absolutely true.

In our village the grocery
shop's owner.. - mummy.

I called brother Lucky.
He isn't with him too.

Where is Lucky?

He is celebrating his girlfriend's
birthday on the bridge.

What happened?

Nothing. Annu hasn't returned home yet.
It's 10 o'clock.

His number is also unreachable.

Is that so?

Did he elope with a girl?

No, Bittu's mummy.
My Annu isn't into all this.

Does anyone elope these days? - Yes.

People used to elope during our times.

Girls used to watch movies
and run away from home.

"I have lost my heart."

My sister had also eloped. - Yes.

You know. - Yes.

Long hair. Red lipstick.

Yes. I know.
She had come to our house a few times.

Who?
- Her sister. You know her.

Who? I don't remember.

The one whose children
had put brick in the water tank.

You had beaten them.
- No. I had beaten them.

You had made her husband
drink liquor on 'Holi' (Festival).

And he was dancing on the street,
wearing a sari.

I have done that with many people.

Papa, you need two
people to do her mimicry.

I had showed you.

Okay! That one!

No.

Shanti does wonderful mimicry.

Is that so? - He is lying.

No.
- Do it. Do it. No.

Do it. Do it. - No.

Annu's mom, do it.

Unless you do it, I won't leave
from here. That's it.

Better do it then.

Show it.

Show it. Show it. Show it.

I will also see. Show it. - Yes.

Yes. Come, Aman.

Come, son. Sit.
- Come on.

Come on.

Papa. - Yes.

Do it.
- Come on. Start.

Start.

Come on.
- Yes.

Sister...how are you?

Are your children fine?

I came in the evening.

You..

I will leave.
It's time for his papa to sleep.

Wait. Where are you going?

I have got delicious mangoes. Do eat it.

Son, bring mango from the fridge. - No.

I won't eat mango.

You should not venture
out at night after eating sweets.

As it is, nowadays witches
are wandering outside.

What happened to your leg?

Nothing. Just like that.

See you, Annu's mom.
- Yes. Yes.

Okay. Bye.

Great! It's good.

It's 10 o'clock.
Our son hasn't returned home.

You are not worried about that.

You want to offer
mangoes to the neighbors.

It's only 10 o'clock.

Even shops haven't closed yet.

He must be with his friends. He will come.

I called brother Lucky. He isn't with him.

Why didn't you tell me before?

If he doesn't return by 10:30,
I will go out and see.

Hope he comes soon. Wonder where he is.

He will come. Don't worry.

Son, bring those delicious
mangoes from the fridge.

What?

There is still half an hour left.

I will eat mango till then. - Oh God!

Bring it, son.

Finally, we got acquainted.

Otherwise in this tense situation..

..communication gap is no big deal.

It's not a tense situation.
But she is taking stress.

You see, in a middle-class family..

..the day ends as soon as it's 10 o'clock.

Many times the day might
end as soon as it's 10 o'clock..

..but it's also when certain tales begin.

For instance, today.

If son doesn't return
home so late at night..

..his mother starts
conjuring all horrible ideas.

And his father conjures romantic ideas.

Because even the shops haven't closed yet.

That doesn't mean the father is careless.

He will also get stressed.
But after 10:30.

Who knows? By then..

Where were you? It's 10 o'clock at night.

Your number is unreachable.

Are we mad to be waiting for you here?

Papa...I want a scooter.

I told you.

The day might end as
soon as it's 10 o'clock.

But it's when certain tales begin.

"Sometimes high, sometimes low..."

"Sometimes twisted.."

"..and sometimes straight."

"A little twisted

and a little restrained.."

"...but I held on to it."

"A little wet, and a little dry."

"Sometimes low and sometimes high."

"Sometimes melt in
the mouth like cardamom..."

"...otherwise as hard as ginger."

"Life was a piggybank of memories."

"Life was a piggybank."

At the temple near the coaching class
a woman experienced trance possession.

The priest thought she is
a witch who has fled from Balaji.

He got a heart attack.

What else? The news spread all over.

When I came out,
I couldn't find any tempo.

I waited for an hour or two.

I took out my phone and
saw that the battery is dead.

I kept on walking.

It's good I met Lucky on the bridge.
He dropped me home.

But he was celebrating
his girlfriend's birthday.

Yes. So?

Do you know how much
his girlfriend scolded him?

He broke up with her and dropped me home.

He was crying while riding the scooter.

This is how friends should be.
- There are such friends.

Buy me a scooter. I am telling you.

I want a scooter. I want a scooter.

No.

Papa, a scooter is very important.

To take mother to the market.

I have to go to the coaching class.

To take him. - No.

Papa, everybody has a scooter.

Only Mishra family doesn't
have a scooter. - No.

Fine. Fine.

Instead of explaining to
you it would have been better..

..if I had left SSC and joined UPSC.

It would have been easy for me.

No!

I will buy a Bullet.

Yes.

Hey!

Kids from '90s who used
to cry for cycle in childhood..

..have got upgraded in the 21st century.

Now they cry for scooter.

But struggle is the
same as it was for cycle.

Because not only '90s kids,
but their fathers have also got upgraded.

The poet's gathering
has stolen our power supply.

Yes. The government has
given them our power supply.

What has happened to papa?

I don't know.

When I reached office, what do I see?

Dubey was coming in a Bullet.

Wearing goggles.

Everybody was looking at him. And he..

He looks like Deepak Tijori.

And he was showing attitude
as if he is John Abraham.

He didn't even distribute
sweets in the office.

That's when I decided that
I will buy a Bullet with office funds.

And then I will show Dubey.

As it is, I have never indulged myself.

Is that so?

You used to eat tobacco
till three months ago.

There is a huge difference
between Bullet and tobacco.

I have quit that.

Yes. You quit it because
you got sentimental..

..on seeing cancer photo
on the tobacco packet.

Fan it.

Backbiter. I will kick you..
- Sit down.

Sit.

You will kick him. You will ride a Bullet.

Go and check whether there
is power in the neighbor's house.

Or has the power gone only in our house?

How did Dubey get a Bullet?

His son's in-laws gave
it at the time of marriage.

But his son is blind. - Yes. So?

His wife rides it.
That's why her father gave it.

She has written at the back.

Feminist.

She is quite a modern girl.
- Of course.

She has gone to her maternal house.

So uncle Dubey must have brought it.

You know everything.

Leave all that.
Papa, let's not buy a Bullet.

It will be difficult for
you to handle it at this age.

Your legs will break.
You won't be able to handle it.

I am telling you. We will buy a scooter.

You and I will leave early morning.

Listen. My legs are very strong.

I have swam a lot in Gomti river.

You worry about your legs.

If you don't pass SSC this time,
I will show you.

Then ask for a scooter.

Yes. Till then he will ride a Bullet.
- Yes. Of course.

It's my wish. So I will buy it.

I will sit on Bullet
and go to office proudly.

Why will you go to office? Go to Ladakh.

What? Who will go so far? Are you mad?

We will go to Vaishnodevi.

I am thinking you and
I will go there on Bullet.

mummy.

They have installed an inverter.
- Look at this.

Listen. We will buy neither
a Bullet nor a scooter.

We will buy an interver.

Inbeter.
- Inverter.

Inverter.
- No.

We will not buy an inverter.

I cannot betray my department.

Tell your department to be loyal to you.

They should at least
supply power in your house.

Everybody's house is without electricity.

It will be back soon. Why do you worry?

mummy.

We will get a scooter
as well as an inverter with..

..the money saved for Bullet.

Forget it. We will only buy an interver.

Inverter.

Whatever it is.

It's futile to talk to you people.

Go and bring water for me.
- No.

No! No!
- Hey!

They fight all the time.
- Why not?

It's dark downstairs. I feel scared.

Bittu's mom was talking about witches.

I won't go. Yes.
- Coward.

Come on. - Come.

Thank goodness.

Why had Bittu's mom come?
- She came just before you returned.

It's her habit.
She goes for a stroll after dinner.

She cannot walk.
So she was blabbering to digest the food.

Yes.

Why is she unable to walk?

Don't you know?

She was obsessed with yoga.

Early morning she
would watch Ramdev on TV.

She placed one leg here
and the other leg here. And then..

What else? She got entangled.

She got all knotted.

She started screaming.

Both of us heard her and we untangled her.

We dismantled her.

Or else she would have remained entangled.

Do you see this, Shanti?

He used to wet the
bed till fifth standard.

And now, he is dismantling aunties.
Our son has grown up.

What are you saying, papa?

I was a kid at that time.

I didn't do it deliberately.
It wasn't in my control.

Now you have become sensible.

If nothing else, at least pass SSC.

Do it for sure.- Hey!

Papa.

My preparation is perfect.

I will definitely pass this time.
I swear on you.

Just buy me a scooter.

All my friends have a scooter.
Only I don't have it.

I am 22-23 years old.

No girl gives any importance to your son.

Do you think I am Salman Khan's Pandey?

That I will help you entice a girl.

I admit I have Salman Khan's attitude.

Don't talk nonsense.
I am going to buy a Bullet.

Papa, a scooter is better.

I told you.
I will buy a Bullet. That's it.

Hey!
- We will buy an inbertor. That's it.

Inverter.
- Interver.

Inverter. - Yes. Whatever.

Look. There are two things.

Firstly, in our country
people don't feel sad..

..when the power goes off.

They feel sad when the power
comes back only to go off again.

Secondly, what will come in the house?

Only mothers have control over it.

Except for power coming back.

Hello. North West Power Department.

Huh?

Is that Pooja who sits on the third floor?

Yes. It's me. Mr. Mishra.

Mishra.

Yesterday I had brought bottle
gourd and Bengal gram in my lunchbox.

You had eaten it.

Yes.

I see. You have night duty.

That's why I was wondering
why I didn't see you.

Okay. Tell me.
Why is there no power in my colony?

I see.

It will be restored in an hour.

Okay.

No. I am not able to sleep.

Tomorrow I will come to office late.

Fine.

See you in office tomorrow.

Goodnight. - Great! Great, Santosh Mishra.

You were talking to her so lovingly.

You never spoke to me like that.

She is my colleague.

I am bound to talk to her lovingly.
Move. - Yes.

You share your lunchbox
also very lovingly. - Yes.

She sits with me during lunchtime.

So we share it. What's the big deal?

I see. I see.

Now I understood.

As to why you want to buy a Bullet.

That's why you had worn his t-shirt.

Bittu's mom had come. So I wore it.

I couldn't have come
before her wearing a vest.

Did he go to office wearing my t-shirt?
- Shut up.

No. No. He didn't do that.

But he must be planning to.

He will wear t-shirt,
goggles and ride a Bullet with Pooja.

You are accusing me.

I don't want to listen to you. - Yes.

Why will you listen to me?
Now you will listen to Pooja.

You were laughing and
talking to Bittu's mom.

That's when I felt suspicious.

Listen. I am saying..
- Is there anything left to say?

Listen. - What?

Let's buy a scooter.

Yes. And an inverter.

What? Did you break up with her?

No. Dubey has broken his leg.
Do you want to see?

I have got the photo on whatsapp.
See.

You were absolutely right. - Yes.

I will not be able to handle a Bullet.

We will buy a scooter.

Papa. - Don't cling to me.

I am certain this happend
because he didn't distribute sweets

Yes

Someones evil eye must have affected him.

Hmmmm

Papa

Even I will drive the scooty.

Sure. Wash it daily as well.

Yes

I forgot to keep the milk in the fridge.
The cat will drink it.

Go. Go.

Come on, Aman. Come and pee.

I won't go. - Go.

If you wet the bed,
it will be nostalgic for Annu.

Come on. Come.

Massage my leg.

Hey! With your hands.

You have grown fat.

Annu must have last massaged
his papa's legs so happily..

..when he was going to get a cycle.

It's a very common thing.

In our country fathers
have got the best foot massage..

..when they have fulfilled
their children's demand.

We will talk about
this tale some other time.

Because it was 10 o'clock long back.

And the day has ended.

What happened?

Nothing.

It was a cat. She drank the milk.

Why did you scream?

I thought it's the witch
who has fled from Balaji.

It's your mother.

Yes, I can hear it.
Why don't you turn it off?

I enjoy hearing it.

Aman!

Aman!

Aman!

'I am coming.'

Oh, wow, you washed your underwear?

You have grown up.

I didn't wash it with just water.
I used soap as well.

Since past four days
I have been hand washing it.

Check the washing machine.

Every task you do for four day only.

Hey, don't hang it here.
Hang it on the terrace. Go.

And since you are going up,
water the basil plant.

- What is wrong?
- Nothing. I am having cold.

Get paracetamol for
me from the medical store.

There is lots of work today.

I will take the medicine
and lie down for a while.

I will feel better.

And do apply balm also.

Okay.

And when you get up
do hand the board outside.

Doctor Shanti Mishra.

All the illnesses are cured
here with balm and paracetamol.

Look, I humbly request you.
Today is festival day.

Your sister will be coming
today and I have lots of work.

So I don't want to waste
my energy in fighting with you.

Your obedient wife doctor Shanti Mishra.

Even fever cannot affect your tongue,
isn't it?

I don't have fever and if it
aggravates I will go to Bengali doctor.

Don't go to that quack.

Dubey's daughter-in-law
had consulted him.

He touched her in the wrong place.

Well, if you consult a
doctor for treatment of cold..

..he is bound to touch you somewhere.

Forget it. Your sister will
visit us and it is the month's end.

What are you going to give her?

I already knew that Raksha
Bandhan (brother-sister's festival)..

..will be during the
month's end this time.

I have withdrawn 2000 rupees
and kept under the mattress.

Oh, wow! So why didn't you buy a dress?

It will be delivered.
I have ordered online from Annu's mobile.

It will be delivered today.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

The last time you had bought something..

..and your sister
looked ridiculous in it.

SANSKRIT CHANT

SANSKRIT CHANT

Brother, Happy Raksha Bandhan.

Tie 'Rakhi' (thread) to me.
Shall I come?

Come and tie it.

What happened?

Nothing. Go down, I will come later.

Who is the girl?

What girl?

I mean I thought that you
are standing here in depression..

..so it might be related to a girl.

Go down. Go.

Listen.

Yes?

Come up. I want to talk
to you about something.

To me?

Yes, to you. Come up.

Give me your hand.

Will you tell my mother?
- I already knew it is about a girl.

It is not about a girl.

Is it about a boy?

You...sorry, tell me.

- I could not pass the SSC exam.
- What?

Were you standing
here to commit suicide?

No. I am not thinking of suicide.

Anyway, I will have to
jump four times from here to die.

You are right.

I am scared about how
to tell mother and father.

'Aman, where are you?'

Can you hear her?

Tell them. Come down and tell them.

There is going to be an explosion.

What kind of a person you are?

I am telling you something
and you are scaring me.

- I am leaving.
- Don't tell mother.

- When did your result come?
- Last evening.

I see. That is why you were
sleeping listening to sad songs.

I could not sleep.

I was awake the whole night.
I was unable to sleep.

- I will not going to say anyone.
- Don't you dare to tell about anyone.

Did you go upstairs to watch..

..how long it will
take the underwear to dry?

And you?
I haven't seen you since morning.

Where were you?

I was having some fresh air.

Yes, don't study, just have fresh air.

Let your results be declared.

I will thrash you with
shoes and rolling pin.

Go and buy medicine for me.

And two packets of milk
and half kilo milk cake, okay?

I too will go with you.

Mother, may I go?

Okay, go, but don't stay out too long.

This is festival day. Return soon.

And what is this?

Wear pants. Will you go out in shorts?

As you are going inside,
get my phone also. It is in my room.

- Mother.
- Yes?

What is it?

I am going crazy in this house.

'Festival. Every month there
is at least one festival every month..'

'..in the calendar of this country..'

'..when people are a bit more excited.'

'Why do they feel so
is a topic worth researching.'

'But it can be said with certainty..'

'..that people here need just
a chance to celebrate a festival.'

'That is why on some days
when there is no festival..'

'..it still feels like a festival.'

'For example the day of result.'

'If the child passes, the day of the
result feels like 'Holi' or 'Diwali'.

'But if the child fails..'

'In the calendar of this country
the days of mourning are not fixed.'

'And today it is not 'Holi' or 'Diwali'.

'Today is 'Raksha Bandhan'.'

"Sometimes high, sometimes low..."

"Sometimes twisted..
..and sometimes straight."

"A little twisted,
and a little restrained.."

"...but I held on to it."

"A little wet, and a little dry."

"Sometimes low and sometimes high."

"Sometimes melt in
the mouth like cardamom..."

"...otherwise as hard as ginger."

"Life was a piggybank of memories."

"Life was a piggybank."

Hello.

Hello.

Come fast.

I have failed and he
is busy with the phone.

Give me my phone.

So what have you decided?

I am unable to decide.

My mind is not working.

I don't have the courage to go home.

Listen. Let us go
to the stationary shop.

We will buy a paper and a ball pen.

We will write a nice note. Hello, sir.

I will buy things from
the shop and go home.

I will bring all your things
and meet you at the main bus depot.

Run away.

Yes, brother, and return
after becoming a big officer..

..and prove to our mother.

Doesn't she keep on scolding you?

It hurts me here very much.

Don't worry about home.
I will handle everything.

Now I have become quite sensible.

The lap...don't take along the laptop.

Come here. Come here.

Come here, I won't beat you.
Give me money.

Give me money.

Give me money and go home, okay?

I don't want to look at your face.

I will buy the thigs and come home.

Run away.

Mister. Mister. Mister. Wait. Wait.

Hold this. Hold this.

Give me today's newspaper.

Listen. Don't show
your face around here.

Today is 'Raksha Bandhan'.
Take the day off. Go.

Go. Move fast.

Go.

Why hasn't the newspaper
boy come till now?

He must be taking the
day off for 'Raksha Bandhan'.

Why are you wearing
new clothes right now?

Come here and help me.

Other than this I don't
need any help from you.

I am begging to you with folded hands.

Please don't tell anybody about this.

And about this also.

- I have told.
- What?

Idiot, whom have you told?
What have you told?

What have you told?
About what have you told?

About that, or..

- Have you told about this?
- No, no.

I will teach you a lesson.

Why is Lucky making a video call?

Meet me later.

Hello, aunt.

Hey, where are you blowing it?

Will you blow it in my face?

You are spoiling my lungs.

Aunt, the men are operating
a mosquito repellent machine.

Take it over there.

It must be coming to your street also.

Be careful. Keep the windows closed.

How are you?

No, no, I am fine. Everything is fine.

No, aunt, I failed by only four marks.
I will pass next time it.

Where is Lucky?

Is he crying?

Let me talk to him.
Give him the phone. Let me talk to him.

Hey, why are you crying?

Have you gone crazy?

Hey, I have failed but you are crying.

What kind of a person you are?

Brother Annu has failed.
Is it a small matter?

Failing is also an art.

You...what do they say? Chill, my friend.

Okay, wait, I am coming to your house.

I have come here for shopping.

I will leave the things at
home and will come to see you, okay?

Stop crying. Okay, fine.

Okay, okay,
I will meet you on the bridge. Bye.

Come here.

In future if you touch my phone..

Yes. Yes, sister, tell me.

No, no, four o'clock will be too late.
Come earlier. Okay.

Is brother coming?

Yes, tell him that I am
making his favourite vermicelli.

Annu has gone to the market.

Yes, yes, come over. Come over.

It is nothing. Just having cold.

Do come soon.

Okay. Yes, he is here. Okay.

Go on, talk. Talk some more.

You alone talk.

Today is 'Raksha Bandhan'.
She is my sister.

I cannot talk to her.
You alone talk to her.

Buy mother's medicines form here.

Please give him medicines.
I will be back.

Can I get a paracetamol.

Uncle!

- Hello, uncle.
- Hello.

Give me two packets of
milk and half kilo milk cake.

Quickly give milk packets
and half kilo milk cake.

Annu, wasn't your result
supposed to be declared?

What happened?

Nothing, uncle, I failed.
How did you come to know?

The newspaper says
a boy committed suicide.

You are bound to fail
if you don't study, isn't it?

He used to make musicals.

What would the parents be enduring?

At least he should
have told his parents.

At the most what would have happened?

They would have thrashed
him he wouldn't have made musicals.

He would have lived, right?

Mister, you shouldn't hide
anything from your parents.

These are very bad times.

Only parents give support,
children don't do it.

Anyway, what do you want?

I don't want anything.
Doesn't your daughter make musicals?

Yes, so?

She is standing at the
main bus depot with luggage.

She is running away to
Mumbai without informing you..

..to become a heroine.

Chhotu, look after the shop.
I will be back in a minute.

Why is Gopal Sheth acting like Milkha?

Has his daughter run away?

They left a long time ago.
They still haven't returned.

I wonder if Annu has started to smoke.

Every time you send them to
the market they take half an hour.

When will they bring medicine
and when will I lie down?

So much of work is pending.

Are you listening?

Yes, yes.
I will scold them when they return.

Look, they have returned.

Were you busy making
milk cake at the shop?

What were you doing all this while?

- Speak up.
- Well?

Mother, I want to tell you something.

Speak up.

- Father, to you too.
- Speak up.

Last night my result was declared, so..

I have failed. I could not pass.

'Expectations.
Expectations have made human beings..'

'..reach the moon.'

'But everybody doesn't
want to go to the moon.'

'Some people's expectations
remain around their homes only.'

'These expectations make up
a story and the end of the story.'

'For example,
at the end of the parents' story..'

'..their expectation
of Annu becoming an officer.'

'And in Annu's story,
his parents being angry on his failure.'

'But some things are separate
from expectations and stories.'

"The end of the story
doesn't affect certain things.'

I rushed here as soon as I came to know.

Only neighbours can be
of help to neighbours, right?

By the way, what happened to you?

It is nothing. I was a bit unwell.

I did extra work so my
blood pressure became low.

Try taking Hempushpa.
Two spoons morning and evening.

What was the need to bring apples?

No, no, these are not for you.
They are for my brother.

Today is 'Raksha Bandhan' so
I am going to tie 'Rakhi' (thread).

One doesn't go empty-handed, right?

In any case,
my sister-in-law is very angry with me.

Why?

You don't know?

At my brother's wedding his
sisters-in-law stole his shoes.

I was the groom's sister.
I stole sister-in-law's slippers.

I see. So she is angry with
you because stole her slippers.

No, no, she had already left on foot.

There was cow dung on the road.
She stepped into it.

She slipped and fractured her bone.

She still limps.
But God knows why she is angry with me.

- Really?
- Yes.

There is WhatsApp message.

'Rakhi' is till four o'clock today.
It is already three o'clock.

- What?
- Oh.

I am leaving, Annu's mother,
otherwise just like last year..

..I will have to tie
'Rakhi' on the road only.

Sister-in-law didn't
let me enter the house.

I won't be able to
tie 'Rakhi' to my brother.

Why is Annu sulking?

- It is nothing. His stomach is upset.
- Yes.

- You may go. You are getting late.
- Yes.

Annu's mother,
do protect him against evil eye.

During festivals people
do get affected by evil eye.

- Our Biddu..
- Aunt, it is already three o'clock.

Yes, I am leaving.

Annu!

Annu!

Annu dear.

Hey, Annu.

Father, I am coming.

Father, please forgive me.

I have again disappointed you.

Earlier I could not clear
engineering and this time SSC.

It is not that I did not work hard.
I did work hard.

I used to study throughout the night.

I had written full paper in the test.

I had done everything
but I don't know why..

- Hey, hey.
- I..

Why are you being so sentimental?

You have failed. Your life is not over.

You are talking as if you
will go directly to the terrace..

..and commit suicide fro there.

You will have to jump four times to die.

It is good that I haven't
built another floor.

- You both are..
- We both are what?

I mean aren't you angry
with me because I have failed?

No, we are angry.
Of course we are angry.

But son, success and
failure will always be there.

So why had she fainted?

Why had you fainted?

Did I faint because of you?

I was not feeling well.

My blood pressure was low so I fainted.

I know that it is very difficult
to pass SSC at first attempt.

Duggal's son had made four attempts.

After that he attached a
certificate of being handicapped.

Then he passed.

Yours was the first attempt.

You used to keep on telling me..

..that you will take me
to task if I didn't succeed.

You will take me to
task if I didn't succeed.

Can't the parents even say anything?

- What is it called, negative mo..mo..
- Negative motivation.

Don't you understand
negative motivation?

Prepare well this time
and clear the test next time.

What if I can't clear it the next time?

Then you can open a tea stall.

We know that it is
beyond your capacity..

..to become the prime
minister while selling tea..

..but I do know that your
tea stall will become a landmark.

People will say,
turn right from Annu's shop..

..turn left from Annu's shop.

You are a hard working person.

You will surely achieve something
or the other in your life.

We are worried about this one.

Whole day he keeps wasting time.
Useless boy.

Annu.

Son. Come. Come here.

Come here.

Come here.

Don't worry.

We won't let you open a tea stall.

Prepare well this time.
You will clear it.

And parents can bear everything..

..but they cannot
see their children being unhappy.

That reminds me.
You must have seen Three Idiots.

But we have seen Secret
Superstar along with Three Idiots.

It was being shown on TV the other day.

Tell us if you want
to follow some passion.

Well? Shall I buy a guitar for you?

Brighten up your mood.
Aunt will be coming in an hour.

Take bath.

Why your mouth always smells
betel nut and chewing gum?

Annu, have you begun to smoke?

Tell me.

Father, the delivery man has come.

Had you ordered something?

He must have brought the dress.

He is asking for money.

Do you have some money?

I paid those 2000 rupees
to the doctor for your treatment.

The bank will also be closed.

I don't have money. Withdraw from ATM.

I have got money. I will give it.

The ATM nearby is out of order..

..and it will take long time
to go to the ATM on the bridge..

..so let me check.

At least you have been of some use.

I do a lot for the three of you.
Only I know about it.

'It is an old human habit.'

'To start thinking about
the end of the story..'

'..in the middle of the story.'

'And to become restless
if the end of the story..'

'..is different from
what you had imagined.'

'But it is not necessary
that you can imagine..'

'..the ends of all the stories.'

'Some things are beyond
expectations and stories.'

'Some things don't depend
on the end of the story.'

Because..

"When life was a piggybank of memories."

"It was a piggybank.

"It was a piggybank.

"This life was a piggybank of memories."

"It was a piggybank.

"It was a piggybank.

"Sometimes it was hide
and sometimes it was seek."

"Sometimes it was twisted."

"It was a bit arrogant,
it was a bit difficult."

"But we had jumped and grabbed it."

"It was a bit wet, it was a bit dry."

"Sometimes it was happy,
sometimes it was sad."

"It was cardamom if it was crushed."

"It was ginger if it was grated."

"When life was a piggybank of memories."

"It was a piggybank.

"It was a piggybank.

"When life was a piggybank of memories."

"It was a piggybank.

"It was a piggybank.

'Fate. Do you understand fate?

Destiny.'

'It is the fate of a piggybank
to enter someone's house.'

'To become a part of the
expectations of the house.'

'And then to break.'

- What is the cost of this piggybank?
- 50 rupees.

'Okay, so what was I saying?'

'Some things are different
from expectations and stories.'

'And these things are the tales.'

'For example the tale of the scooty.'

'The tale of Bittu's mother's tricks.'

'The tale of building this house.'

'The tale of the fight
between mother and father.'

'The tale of brother Annu's failing.'

'The tale of Aman making chart.'

'The tale of the strange activities
going on in the neighbourhood.'

'The tale of a piggybank coming
into a house and then breaking.'

'Because these tales become memories.'

'And then they accumulate
to become tales'..'
