All language subtitles for Gul 1.mkv3

I took half a day's leave so that
I could make a plan on my own.

And here I am stuck with this.

What all have you stuffed in it?

Did you buy out the entire market?

Only some utensils.
The curtains and sheets are old.

We'll buy new ones tomorrow.

Why tomorrow?
Why didn't you buy all of it today?

Today, there was no fun
in seeing the curtains.

Yes. So, you mean
it will be fun tomorrow?

There will be the Thursday Market
at Takrohi Square tomorrow.

It takes time to choose stuff
but we get quality goods.

Not good stuff, but inexpensive stuff.

You love buying inexpensive stuff.

You have become addicted
to spending unnecessarily.

We have such beautiful walls at home.

Any fabric will look good on them.

Really? Let's put your torn tunic
on them, instead of curtains.

Why just the tunic?

I can wear the tunic
and hang from the hook.

Give it to me.

-Get the stuff placed.
-I won't.

Call those brawny souls.

What have we raised them for?

Aman!

-Aman!
-Dad, I am in the bathroom.

Nowadays, your younger son
takes quite a long to bathe.

I see. Come out soon.

Help your mom in the kitchen.

It'll take me some time.

This...

Here.

-Shall I tell you something?
-Yes.

You are a good lady, I mean

a nice lady.

Really? Where did this
noble thought come from?

Dad used to say that a man and
a woman together make a home.

A man is like the walls of the house.

Strong. One who carries the roof firmly.

Yes. The woman is like
the upholstery of the house.

Something that adds charm to the house.

By that measure, you are good.

I mean you manage everything well.

The walls are built only once

but the upholstery needs
constant upgradation.

So basically you saved a lot of money.

How is that?

Your father built the walls.

You got them painted
a few times. That's it.

I see.

Do you mean to say I make
no contribution to the household?

If trouble befalls us,
then you shall see.

Santosh Mishra will get in his element.

He is here.

Yes. Tell me.

-House no. 534?
-Yes.

DK Srivastav from the municipality.

Santosh Mishra, Electricity Department.

A notice for you from
the municipal corporation.

What is the notice for?

Your house has not been built
as per the plan sanctioned.

Then which plan has it
been built according to?

You will tell that to us
in a reply to this notice.

It has all the details.

You tell me what this is all about.

In short, your house has been
declared as an illegal structure.

The municipality will take action on it.

What action?

The illegal structure
will be demolished.

What do you mean by demolishing?

-Demolish what? -Listen, sir.
I need to go and issue many notices.

It has all the details in it.

The language is complicated.

But you're in the electricity
department.

You'll understand everything.
If you don't understand anything,

my number is here. Do call me.

Goodbye.

'Executive Officer, Municipality.'

Aman, pull your dad's tongue out.

If you see a mole on it,
scratch it away.

Dad, open your mouth.

Shut up! Go and wear clothes.

'Listen to me with
the utmost attention.'

'In this winter, stories
are ready to unfold.'

'There are four members in this family.
Santosh Mishra heads it.'

'His ordinary moustache
carries an extraordinary ego.'

'I hope you remember.'

'The elder son, Anand Mishra,
is MR by profession.'

'The younger son, Aman,
aspires to become a novelist.'

'I hope you remember it.'

'The tanginess
in their life is provided by'

'the pointed comments made
by their mother, Shanti Mishra.'

'I am sure you remember that.'

'I am here. A piggy bank
sitting comfortably on the table.'

'Once again I am here
with interesting stories.'

'The first example
of interesting stories.'

'The government has
sent a show cause notice.'

'Episode 1, Show Cause Notice'

Sir, you have to attend
the OPD in CP Hospital from 2 p.m.

-It's better if you leave by 1:30 p.m.
-Sure.

I'll get your lunch prepared by 1 p.m.

-Okay.
-Okay.

-Good morning, sir.
-Good morning.

How are you? Please wait for a while.

The patients are more today.
Please wait. It will take time.

Yes, sir.

We have been waiting for two hours.

-Oh.
-Let's go to another place.

Hello, sir.

-Hello, sir.
-Hi.

-How are you, Mishra?
-Sir.

Sit.

Since when are you here?

It's been 20 minutes, sir.

How much is your CTC?

Including incentives,
it is Rs. 3.6 lakh.

-Twenty rupees.
-What?

Twenty rupees is the price
of your twenty minutes.

I see.

Do you know what's the price
of twenty minutes of this doctor?

No, sir.

He charges 500 rupees.

He examines 6 to 7 patients.

The doctor makes us wait long.

It's because he knows
the value of your time.

Sir.

Accept the truth.

I have heard a lot of praise about you.

Shankwar said you are a go-getter.

Nothing like that, sir. Just...

I take work as a challenge.

You are a salesman.

How will you work if you don't
take it as a challenge?

Absolutely, sir.

-Did you get targets?
-Yes.

-Meet them.
-Yes.

You'll be given more targets.

If you fail to meet them,
I won't be talking nicely to you.

Sir?

You should have the ability
to bear scoldings.

Who are there in your family?

Sir, I live with my mom,
dad and younger brother.

The eldest son in the family.
Apple of parents' eye.

Well, sir.

I am sure you bully your brother.

Not always, sir. Sometimes I do.

Sometimes.

You know, I am the youngest
of three brothers.

-Really? -From childhood,
I developed the stamina to hear abuses.

Today I earn more than my brothers.

-Shall we?
-Sir.

Lucky will be here in two minutes.

Do you know the value
of two minutes of mine?

Mr. Shashi. Long time.

-All good?
-Yes, sir.

Hey! Shashi! Come in.

Good afternoon, Dr. Singh.

I thought you had gone
to the Delhi office.

I won't leave you so soon, sir.

-Sir, this is Anand Mishra.
-Yes.

He's a very bright boy.

-Hello, sir.
-Hello.

He's trying to meet you for two weeks.

I told him that you'll make
him wait and he should oblige.

Even five minutes with sir
is so educating.

Come. Sit.

Thank you, sir. Sit.

Looking fit, sir.

What?

Joined some gym?

Come on, Shashi.

Sir, is the AC working fine?

I know your company got it installed
but we can't run it in winter.

Let's get a heater fixed then.

Anand, write it. A heater for sir.

-Where?
-Right here.

Tell me.

Sir, you are receiving
goodies from Steady Life!

That's why you didn't reply
to my Diwali wishes.

Don't be greedy, Shashi.

We can't be biased.

There is no bias in this.

In your expert opinion,
our medicines are the best. That's it.

Sir, you are an Indian,
our company is Indian

and so is the AC.

Sir, at least do this
for the sake of our country.

Yes, sir.

Tell me. What will you have?
Tea or coffee?

-Sir, tea.
-Sir, I already told you.

Sir, I heard you are starting
a clinic somewhere else as well.

Yes, I have seen a location.

-My daughter, Priti.
-Sir's daughter.

I am setting it up for her.

You will need a water purifier,
an AC and a heater for that clinic too.

That's for later, Shashi.

Sir, at least show some bias here.

Don't deprive us
of a chance to serve you.

We shall discuss that later.
Leave your literature with me.

Let me see what I can do.

Sir, did you get the AC
and cooler installed?

How else do you think
I am able to barge into his cabin?

That is the mantra.
Respect the egoist and feed a greedy.

Your work will be done.

But if you feed the egoist
and respect the greedy,

your work will be screwed.

Yes, sir.

Sir, I will get to learn a lot from you.

I see. You seem to be respecting me.

-No.
-I am the greedy one.

I am not egoistic.

What happened?
Did Dr. Singh drive you away?

Sir, he insults people more than you do.

This is no longer your concern.

You can go home.

I'll take my parents to the temple.
I'll be back in two days.

Go to the temple, perform
veneration, and become a priest.

Collect your full and final payment
from the account department.

Good luck.

Good job.

What was he saying?

You are fired.

He said good job.

You are an idiot, pal.

Pull it.

Hold it straight.

Against the wall.

Hold it down.

-Down.
-Hey.

Hold it down.

Here, it is 18.

18 feet. That means
the courtyard is 18 feet by 30 feet.

Here, it says 21 feet by 28 feet.

-What is the width of the staircase?
-1 foot.

We have made it 1.5 feet.

-What's illegal? The stairs
or the courtyard? -Both.

No. When the plan was sanctioned,

the courtyard was big
and the staircase was small.

The contractor said
since the stairs take up more space,

we should widen them.

This should be acceptable.

Dad, tell us what exactly he said.

He said nothing.
He just gave us the notice.

Yes.

What if we show them the cause
and they don't like it?

They will demolish the house
and take away the land.

-How can they do it?
-What will the municipality

gain from such a small house?

What else? They will
build a public toilet here.

-That's not done.
-The city needs public toilets.

Are you counting them?

I told you he has an affinity
for bathrooms.

Hey, stop this nonsense now.

Our house is not sitting
in the middle of a market

for the municipality
to build a toilet here.

Dad, imagine. If a public toilet
comes up in place of this house,

Bittu's mom will be enraged
upon learning that.

-Indeed, that's true.
-Right.

Yes.

At least they will have
a roof over their head.

-But you will be homeless.
-Hey.

Stop joking and read what it says.

-Read it.
-Hey.

Read it, Mr. Novelist. Read it.

House Construction Rules 1973
has been mentioned.

-According to this,
a serious criminal... -Serial.

Yes. And has been at large
for quite some time,

then as per rule 83,
his house can be confiscated.

But Santosh Mishra is neither
a criminal nor is he at large.

-He's not serious.
-It's serial.

Exactly, dad.

It also says that if a person
hasn't followed

the legal process of
constructing a house,

the municipality will
take action against him.

-In other words, a bulldozer.
-I get it.

Dad, if they run a bulldozer
on an illegal building,

what's the guarantee that
the legal structure be unharmed?

-That's true.
-It's a bulldozer, not a needle.

It won't work with pinpoint accuracy.

Every wall is in danger.

All right. Make note of one more point.

The municipality will also charge us
for running the bulldozer.

Should we pay for the bulldozer
that is demolishing our house?

This is the limit.

-One more thing.
-Read it.

It's not here.

I was saying that let's get
the illegal staircase demolished.

Bittu's mom uses it to sneak in anytime.

Then how will you climb on the terrace?
From Bittu's house?

Hey, brother, we get good
ladders made of bamboo.

We'll get one, use it whenever needed
and keep it aside when not in use.

Speak sense for a change, dear.

Dad. If the staircase is demolished,

we will have parking space at home.

We can have a car.
Hold the steering and park it here.

-Not a bad idea.
-There is a mirror attached as well.

-Is it a big car or a small one?
-It's a 7-seater, dad.

-I, too, can hop on.
-Sure!

-Turn on the AC.
-Sure.

-Play some music.
-Here it comes.

Come on, mom! Come on!

Hello.

What say, mom?

I would say that the men of the
Mishra family have lost it completely.

They behave strangely

and start driving imaginary
7-seater cars and flying aeroplanes.

What do you mean by
the men of the Mishra family?

It is you who gave birth to these two.

They must have inherited
this madness from you.

What did they inherit from you and your
dad? The notice from the municipality?

I am telling you.
Don't drag dad into this.

I am not doing it, the municipality is.

Think of an idea to solve this problem.

-I will solve it.
-How will you?

-I will...
-Tell me.

-Tell me!
-Mom, hang on!

-The madness...
Cook some disappointment. -Hey.

-It's called 'Tehri'.
-Right. 'Tehri'.

Dad, what caused this enquiry?

I called up and they said some
new government officer is here.

-He gave government contracts to
four bulldozer contractors. -Four!

Yes. That has instilled fear in all.

People have started calling him
'Bulldozer Man' out of fear.

Did the Bulldozer man place some demands

or ask for houses to be
demolished right away?

He has sent a show-cause notice.

-I called up and said.
-Yes.

Replying to the notice won't solve
the problem. To that, he replied this.

-Give it.
-Give what?

Grease his palms
and everything will be fine.

You mean convenience charge, right?

I said the same, but he said
inconvenience charge.

We must pay him to get
out of this inconvenience.

Dad, what's the problem?

Call it whatever.
Bribe, convenience fee.

Say it whatever. Pay the greedy guy
and put an end to this.

No, dear. What is wrong
will remain as such.

The wrong has been done.
Things will be rectified now.

I suggest sending an apology
to the Bulldozer man

and get the right plan sanctioned.
Bribe him if needed.

No! We can't give in
to such corrupt practices.

Do you remember what
happened with Dubey?

He was dragged from
the air-conditioned bathroom.

-Dad, his property was seized.
-Hey, hang on. Seized, he says.

-Dad, he was accepting a bribe.
You are giving it. -So?

Giving bribes makes one respectable.

The one who takes it
loses respect. For instance,

Uncle Pinky.

-Pinky?
-Yes.

How did Pinky lose respect?

-Don't you know?
-No.

Last year, Uncle Pinky took a contract

to admit students in engineering
colleges, under management quota.

One chap would visit him
every day for three days

to procure a seat
through the proper channel.

But Uncle Pinky...

He made the chap make tea for him,
and chop vegetables the next day

and also asked him to do the dishes.

The chap turned out to be an alpha male.
He refused out rightly.

'You are exploiting me, sir!'

He did the right thing.
What did Pinku say?

He replied 'I am like your father.'

'Along with engineering,
you will learn moral education'

'as well if I ask you to
carry out a few tasks.'

The chap left from
there and the next day,

he got thick wads of cash.

And then

Uncle Pinky touched the money.

He changed his approach.
Offered the lad a seat

and told him to consider this
to be his engineering seat.

Uncle was the Charles Bukowski.

-What's that? Okay.
-He's a writer.

And...

Dad, that is when I realised that
the one who gives a bribe is respected.

The one who accepts it loses respect.

No.

Dear. I won't be able to give it.

If you can do it, let me call him

and you give him the envelope.

I'll reply to the notice.

No, dad. I have an important meeting.
My manager is after me.

Don't look at me. You said you would get

into your element if trouble befalls us.

Now, you hesitate to act
when we are in trouble.

You must solve this.

When did he say that?

-Dad, can I be of some help?
-Mom.

Lucky was badly humiliated
by our manager.

If this happens to me,
I won't get my salary.

-If that...
-As if you are paying for my expenses.

-Who pays for your expenses then?
-Come and eat food.

This is something we need to...

'The notice sent from court,'

'ballot paper,'

'papers of dowry,'

'papers of school admission.'

'There are many such papers in India.'

'People living in this country
slip into depression'

'when the government
asks them to submit legal papers.'

'But he knows which paper
will help him maintain the status quo.'

'You know.'

'The paper which carries
the signature of RBI governor'

'and reads 'I promise to pay
the bearer so and so amount'.'

'Deals involving this paper
bring fear and tension.'

'These two are scary entities'

'but they have improved
the immunity of middle-class people.'

Ma'am, don't you have cream biscuits?

I just asked casually. Never mind.

The solution has come to you.

-Yes.
-Mr. Mishra.

Such work usually takes a lot of time.

-Hello, sir.
-Hello, dear.

Aman, go.

Go to the terrace.

It's a hot, sunny day, dad.

The elders are talking.

You should obey as we say.

If you disobey us, dad won't buy
you a motorcycle or chocolates.

Go now.

I am not a toddler, sir.

I am going.

Have some tea.

It's better if kids gain
wisdom late in life, Mr. Mishra.

Yes.

I hope you have prepared
a reply to the notice.

-No... Not...
-Never mind. Take it easy.

Take a couple of days.

Have you done the important work?

What?

The important work?

Annu's mom!

Hey. How come you are here, Bittu's mom?

She just crossed the terrace
and came here.

-Annu's mom, do you have a guest?
-What...

Listen.

The gentleman from the municipality,

you have parked your scooter in front
of our house. Move it.

How do you know
he is from the municipality?

It's a blue scooter with
red-coloured words that read

'Executive, Municipality.'

Is that done?

Your guest parks his scooter
in front of our house.

Ma'am, it's a matter of a few minutes.
He will be leaving soon.

Will his scooter be parked
in front of our house till then?

-What will people say?
-What will they say?

They will say that our house
will soon be demolished.

None of our relatives
works in the municipality.

Ma'am, the municipality has done
a lot of work for people's good.

Really? What good work brings you here?

Nothing, ma'am.
It's a petty work. He'll leave soon.

Fine. Go on.

I'll wait.

Sir, move your scooter.
It won't take long.

Okay. Yours is 534,

then hers would be 535, right?

-It's 536.
-I see.

Son, why are you staring at me? Move!

This is unbelievable.
I have to move it now.

Annu's dad,
suffering from bowel movements?

-No.
-Your expression indicates it.

This is how my husband looks
when he has loose motions.

He looks deeply distressed.

An unwell man faces a lot.

I force him to drink
the medicinal syrup.

-Sir, shall I get it for you?
-No.

No, Bittu's mom.
Everyone is doing well here.

Really?

If so, why are you people so quiet?

Even Aman, the one who
is so talkative, is standing quietly.

Aunt, you always remain quiet.
That's why you feel we talk a lot.

He said it. The brat said it.

Dear, you have grown up now.

What if I take offence to your words

and stop visiting you, Annu's mom?

-Come, aunt. Let me take you
to the staircase and apologise. -Yes.

-Oh.
-Hey, dear.

-I shall go.
-Yes.

Come, Aman. Apologise to me
on the staircase...

-Aman, get cream biscuits.
-Sure, mom.

All right, let's resolve this.

-Sir.
-Yes.

-Where did you park the scooter?
-In front of your door. Why?

You see, none of our relatives
work in the municipality.

So, people may ask us why you came here.

Hey. Consider this notice to be a monkey

that has entered your house.
My scooter is like its tail.

Drive the monkey away,
the tail will also be gone.

It is the tail that got
this monkey here.

The monkey will be here unless
you give it what it wants, Mr. Mishra.

I don't think you want the monkey to go,
Mr. Mishra.

Your monkey seems to be
suffering from malnutrition.

It's a monkey, not a bear.

Should I serve a full meal to it?

The bulldozer contractor charges
more than this to demolish a wall.

You wish to protect your house.

Really?

Okay.

Tell me a suitable figure.

Something that's a multiple of 2.5.

One, twice, thrice.
Four times 2.5 is 10.

-Enough!
-Enough?

That is way too much.

Give it. I'll count.

Hey, congratulations!

Mr. Mishra, shall I tell you something?

Don't waste more money on this house.

That's enough.

-What?
-It's done.

Forget this courtyard

and buy an apartment
with a balcony on the 10th floor.

I can refer you to a friend
who is a builder.

There's no hurry.

All right. Congratulations.

No. Wait.

What about the reply to the notice?

You may give it later.

Sir, I gave you an envelope.

So, you tell me what I should
write in the reply.

Mr. Mishra, do I look like
a writer to you?

You have been sent the notice.
So, you should write it.

This is wrong, sir.

You are either lazy or greedy.

Really?

-What do you think I am?
-You are both!

I gave you the envelope.
You must do the work.

The work is done, sir.

Send a reply to the show cause notice.

I assure you that
there will be no enquiry.

That's not done.

How can I write just about anything?

This is about my house.

Would you be so careless
if it were about your house?

Mr. Mishra, I am getting late.

I am not here to put up
with this nonsense.

Wait, sir.

We have paid tax
for the money I just gave you.

I didn't earn it by issuing notices.

I have no ulterior motive either.

I have paid you and
demand your service now.

So, you must write
a reply to the notice. Okay?

What if I refuse to do it?

Really?

Then you should return
the envelope, take your scooter

and leave.

Do you know what I
will do when you leave?

I will expose you in
my written response.

Who will you write it to?

To your boss, the Bulldozer man.

I know for a fact

that I am not the only victim.
There are many.

I'll take signatures from a few of them.

I'll make a few copies of the same and
give it to journalist friends of mine.

All this will cost me very little money
compared to what I paid you.

I don't care if my house is demolished.

It's great if you build a three-storey
house. But your arrogance

should be less than that of mine.

Mr. Mishra, you are getting angry
for no reason.

You should've said that you are lazy.

The reply is short.
I'll message it to you. Copy it.

I can also send it in writing.

If you have a problem giving me money,
Mr. Mishra,

-take it back.
-No.

-No. Please take it.
-No.

I can't take it back, sir.

You see, I have never given
such envelopes to anyone before.

Today, I gave it to you and it has
brought such arrogance in me.

Oh.

It feels awesome.

A municipality notice has been issued
to the blue scooter parked outside.

Such uncouth people!

Did you issue a lot of notices?

Dad, he seems to be quite angry.

Hey. Brother Anand.

Dad, have you messed with the wrong guy?

Not at all, dear. He is a fraud.

His fear won't let him live.

What if a bulldozer
comes to raze our house?

We shall see that.

But I will live peacefully
as long as this house is safe.

Want some tea?

Along with cream biscuits.

-Shall I tell you something?
-Yes.

You are amazing.

You know how to protect the house
and its walls.

Listen. Let's go to the Thursday Market

to buy curtains.

Okay.
