On this glorious occasion of Independence Day...

My best compliments to all my fellow countrymen.

On this bright, sunny morning surrounded by lush green trees

this ancient yard of the Red Fort revels in this gentle breeze.

The birds are chirping in the sky flying freely...

Hey. Hey.

Hey!

Fool. The whole building must have known by now.

How would they know? Don't things fall?

- But-- - Shhh.

- Oh! - Oh, God!

- How much is left? - Maybe another batch.

These jalebis are ready now.

JALEBI AVAILABLE ON 15TH AUGUST

May I get two kilos of jalebi?

Two kilos! We hardly have anything left!

We are already sold out.

See if you can.

I swear. I won't lie on Independence Day.

Why don't you take chakli instead? Both are spirals.

What say?

Yes, but I wanted something sweet.

There are guests coming over.

For Jui's marriage proposal?

Yes.

Oh. Then you'll get something.

Not until you show us the photo of the suitor.

Don't start with that now.

Hmm.

Nice, isn't he?

What was wrong with the last one?

Since we are talking, I just wanted to ask.

Sonu's mother was telling me

that Jui and Raju, the painter, still meet each other secretly.

No way!

I didn't believe her, either. Jui is a nice and simple girl.

- The flag! - The flag!

A second's delay

and our independence would have been fried.

Enough! Start packing it now.

Get ready, quickly.

Idiot! How many times do I have to tell you

that there is shortage of water?

In our country 20 minutes is the limit.

We have to get everything done. Brushing, shaving, shower...

What rubbish? He's not going to shave.

If you keep pampering him, he will never grow a bread.

What?

- What is happening outside? - Look at him!

Looks like Gavaskar will give a speech.

Rascal! Traitor!

Oh, come on.

I'm sure! The one who hung the rope outside our house is this Gavaskar.

And I... Ouch!

Don't blabber. Do you have any proof?

No matter how he is, he's won't do cheap tricks just for a speech.

I think you should divorce me

and marry that old Gavaskar instead.

Why divorce just for a few days more?

Wear this shirt. Flag hoisting will start soon.

I am not coming.

I can't bear to see that old man hoisting the flag.

No need to take out your anger for Gavaskar on our nation.

Get ready soon.

Hello! Today is 15th August.

Today is our Independence Day.

To earn our independence...

What the hell are you doing?

To achieve the independence...

Why are you memorizing it?

Even the Prime Minister looks at his notes.

And what are you ashamed of?

If I were the Prime Minister, I would have memorized everything.

First learn to take a stand in the general meets of the tenement.

Nobody lets me talk there. Thus, the whole speech!

Nothing should be left out!

You just wait and watch!

I love you, Raju.

Do you know? No, you don't.

I had my first crush on you on 15th August.

I was staring at you nonstop.

The flag in the sky, Raju on the ground...

Sonu! What's going on? I don't hear the water running!

It's running!

Get ready now! Stupid girl!

Still there? Not me, the phone fell.

I am well.

Woke up at 4:30 am today and was chanting in the veranda.

I saw the parents leaving

with both their kids for a picnic.

No. It was a picnic. No one wears fancy hats to weddings!

They left the grandfather outside the house.

They will have to bear

the consequences in this lifetime itself.

Yes, he's here. I will meet him.

Yes. Okay.

Grandpa, can you hear me?

Looks like you have sinned in your past life.

Did you help the British during the Independence struggle by any chance?

I was joking. Happy Birthday!

Can't even ask you for a party?

Wow! Going out for a show?

Ironing the flag and making it look

as if you fought for independence! Good for nothing!

MR. AND MRS. GOKHALE.

Don't show off. Everyone knows what you are.

Good for nothing!

The kids will mock you now. Mend your ways.

Go, do some work.

Who will give you a job anyway! You won't get a job even as a janitor!

Ninad, Pappu, Soham! If I see any more marbles here

I will grind them to a powder!

Sister, just this one! This is my lucky marble.

I can aim anything with this.

Please!

Okay. But don't mess with my Rangoli!

Rangoli!

Who will thank me for this? Your father?

Will say it in the evening!

Raju! Raju! How is my Rangoli?

- Nice! - Thank you!

Raju! Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day!

Happy Independence Day to all! Vini, close the door!

Take this. Perfectly ironed flag.

Will it fly in the wind?

Or will it be ironed stiff?

Good joke!

- Show me please! - Hey!

Don't put dirty hands on the flag.

What's the problem? Anyway, where are the rope and flowers?

Here's the rope.

Good! Now I will teach you how to tie a rope to a flag.

Not today, please! Next year?

My child!

What if this building gets demolished before next year?

Once apartments are built all this fun will end.

Everyone will live behind closed doors.

Nobody cares if their neighbor is dead or alive!

Everything will be personal. Nothing social.

It's okay.

Girls won't date boys who live in a house with common toilets.

Cool!

Anyway, let's wish Grandpa before we forget.

- Raju, come on. - Sonu!

What is this?

Rangoli!

Really? Very good! Why the chairs?

We will stand up for the national anthem.

Mr. Gavaskar is giving a long speech. Let's get some blankets, too!

Good One!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa!

Wish you a happy Independence Day and a Happy Birthday!

Dear God! Tuck it in there.

Every year the flag goes up

I pray that Grandpa's soul is freed.

But it's God's will.

Uncle, who taught you to hoist the flag?

I have a great idea.

- Check if we've a motor in the office. - Motor?

This year we will use a motor to hoist the flag.

One push of a button and we are done! Go check!

Okay.

Jai Hind!

Come on! Get out now!

Watch out!

What was Lalya doing with the dog inside?

They can do anything. It's Independence Day!

Let's keep working.

- So, Uncle-- - Wait! It's not like that.

Wait, I will show you.

- I've got nine marbles. - I have eleven.

- Come on, let's place them. - I will. Just wait.

- All you do is talk. - No, look! I've placed them.

...flag in the courtyard for now.

The early morning breeze showers the rose petals...

Look at this photo now.

Look how handsome he is!

Jui!

- Hello! - Hello!

- Who's this? - It's Mr. Inamdar.

Oh! Greetings!

- Inamdar! Inamdar! - Is it Mr. Deshmukh?

- Yes, it's me. - We're starting from here.

Are you leaving now? Good! Good!

- We'll be there in an hour or so. - Ok, it's a holiday, so no traffic!

Yes, we are waiting!

When are they reaching?

In an hour or so. And they want to discuss everything.

But you be careful. Let's not repeat what happened last time.

Let's grab this opportunity.

Of course! Have you taken the jewellery out?

I will now.

Jui, wear my red saree. Red is lucky for you.

- I will not! - Shut up!

And Jui, behave yourself unlike last time.

Who do you want to marry? Prime Minister?

I feel she still thinks about the painter.

Ask him to be a street artist. At least he will earn some money.

Jui, everything will be all right.

Even I didn't like your Dad at first.

- Hey... - But did you ever realize that?

And you, please dress well today. Don't embarrass us.

Come on. Go wear that saree.

I will not!

Will you at least wear a Punjabi dress?

Wear something traditional, okay?

Get some snacks before it starts raining.

I will get some.

Don't forget to take the bag. The grocer stopped giving plastic bags.

Now what do we do when it rains?

What did you do when there was no plastic?

But...

Do we have a motor?

Motor!

You just push a button and the flag...

Rohit, stay at home. The Inamdar family will be here soon.

Get over your social work.

Do we have a motor?

Hey, move!

Close the door!

I will.

It didn't hit anything.

- Wait! It's tangled up. - Uncle!

Is it done?

Uncle, we don't have the motor.

Go, check it in the office.

Don't pull it!

Soham! Come home!

Coming!

- Ashish! - Coming!

Come quick!

Hello, Mr. Rajadhyaksha!

Hello!

We do not care about 15th of August.

I don't think we got Independence on 15th August.

Happy Independence Day!

- Daddy! Daddy! - Yes?

Mom is calling you!

Sonu! Sonu! Where is the turmeric?

Here!

Take all the spices and vegetables and dump it in your decoration.

Let's eat there! Idiot!

I was out of yellow color, so...

There is no motor in the office.

What now?

Don't worry.

I will show you how to hoist the flag. Hold this.

Oh! Hi!

Do you have to doodle all the time?

I was waiting for you.

What is this? I can barely discern it.

Go back to the office, I will finish it meanwhile.

Why are you wearing torn shoes again?

It just happened.

Here, buy new shoes!

Don't! It's fine.

Let's go now.

Not now! Are we meeting for shoe shopping? Sit!

Then keep the money!

I'm getting some money.

Really? From where?

There is a job at an agency.

- You are opting for a job? - Yes!

Why?

Had a fight with dad, again. He wants me to earn.

He is not wrong either. Money...

I am working.

Just be patient.

Everything will be fine. Keep painting.

Once I get promoted we will run away.

Once we are married

we are independent.

It will be all right! I can see it.

I want you to become a famous artist.

Will you be?

Yes.

Life is beautiful as it is.

Trying hard is not the need.

Why dig up the earth

to see the growth of a seed?

It's beautiful. Who wrote it?

Are you sure this is a flag?

- Yes. - Okay.

Ninad! Come home and take a bath.

Or else, I'll pour a bucketful on you.

Isn't there a shortage of water?

Idiot! You are wearing a new shirt without taking a bath!

Pass me a marble.

- Hand it quick. - Over-smart brat!

Undisciplined! Just like his mom!

Don't laugh! Play!

I will go visit the temple!

If I win this round, I will get one more chance.

So, you will play twice?

Yes, dumbo!

Don't you dare say anything to my sister!

I am warning you!

Jui!

Can you get me some chewing gum?

Vini!

I will be back. Fill this part with green meanwhile.

Make sure you respect the boundaries.

Go, get it now!

Let me get it! It's my lucky marble!

I said, no!

Stupid!

I'm going over to his house to play.

Do you know how to play?

Way better than you.

- You always cheat! Cheater... - How dare you!

- Sir, can you buy a flag? - No.

Then give it to that girl.

- How much? - Just 5 Rupees.

Give me one.

Where did that girl go?

There.

Happy Independence Day!

They are coming to finalize everything.

What should I do? I can't avoid it anymore.

Horoscopes are so much matching!

The boy has already liked me.

He lives in the US. He's an only son and very rich, too.

He is handsome, too!

Look.

I know! Why are you repeating yourself?

Don't think you got in the first try.

I didn't know you would lose your job.

Were you just dependent on my job?

What have you done in the meantime?

I am trying.

Right. Trying you are!

I feel I am trapped between you and my parents.

And you guys are doing fine.

Artists are not appreciated in this country.

Yeah! Don't curse the country when you can't do anything.

Don't pretend to be a patriot when you are ready to meet that American!

He is not an American. He is an Indian who lives there.

How convenient!

But aren't you a patriot? The big artist? Global citizen?

Weren't you the one talking about "the world is a family"?

Weren't you a global citizen so far?

I still am! You decide who you are!

Don't talk, just go! Okay?

Let's run away.

Seriously. Let's not fight.

We have always managed to find a positive in our fights.

Look what I got for you.

- What is this? - A ring.

- Where did you get that? - Churmure Jewellers!

- Not like that. I mean, why? - Give me your hand.

- Are you crazy? - Give me your hand?

- Why are you wasting money? - Will you wear it?

We are engaged now.

Darn.

Aren't you Raju?

Yes.

Who was that girl?

Who? I don't know.

The one who just left.

- That wasn't a girl, it was a guy. - Oh, Lord.

This cataract has made me blind.

I don't have the freedom to see and they call it Independence day.

Government should give an allowance for cataract patients.

We see things that are not there.

- Was that your girl? - Mind your language.

Not the old one, the one before.

Oh, it's a serious love story.

Yes.

Then what's the problem?

Don't you dare meet her again!

Don't underestimate me!

Warn him! Don't come to me if the matter goes out of hand!

Did you hear that?

Did you hear that?

If you want to do such things, get lost from my house.

Right away!

Don't have brains to earn a dime and you want a dame?

Jui, I am his father.

I know him well. You are a good girl.

Don't fall for him.

He will keep painting at home and both of you will go broke.

Only rich ones can afford to be artists.

Dreaming of becoming

like Picasso, MF Hussain.

I will make it one day.

Wait and watch.

Shut up! I will slap you!

My apologies, Mr. Deshmukh.

I'll deal with him.

Just take care of your daughter. That's not in my hands.

Yes, I will take care of that.

Jui, just promise us that you won't see his face again.

Just grab her phone and delete his number.

What rubbish! Anyone can get any number from anywhere.

Swear on the Guru that you will not see him ever again!

Yes, do that!

Are you going to say something?

No!

You... Oh!

Are you okay?

Mom, don't worry. He is faking it!

I will slap you, Rohit.

- Oh, God! - Your father is suffering and you...

Okay, I promise!

- With God as your witness! - Yes.

I'm not tall enough to reach the frame!

- Dad! This is just too much! - Hey!

If you do something like this, I will hang you upside down!

It's just a matter of time before I do that.

What did you just say?

Deshmukh, we better leave!

Please calm down!

Raju! Hey, Raju! Come here.

Wanna drink?

Love stories are fake!

Stop this and find her a suitable groom soon!

Hey! I will hit you! Give me that!

Let's find her a nice groom and get over with this.

Why did he take my bottle?

Looks like I have to go to bar, again.

What are you looking at? Tell me the story!

Why should I tell you?

This is why I don't chase girls! These babes are better.

They come and go when I want them to!

Wow! Great job! First class!

And where are they running with the flag?

Nowhere, granny! This is just a painting.

As long as the painting stays, they stay.

You naughty! Come visit the temple with me instead of fooling around!

You will get blessed.

- Don't worry! I've plenty of blessings. - Oh, really?

Then, you join me!

No, Granny. I have lot of work here.

Okay!

- Run, guys! - Run! Run!

- What? - My Rangoli...

Let's get this and put it under the tree.

Take it slow.

Good work, Raju.

Tell me, should we run away with the flag

or make the enemy run away?

They are not running away! They are just running.

- And where will they run? - Wow!

They have to stop at the border!

I have seen Indo-Pak border!

But the partition still hurts.

Still? You were there when it happened?

Of course!

How old are you actually?

I am talking about my past life.

So, you were there during Mahabharata, too?

Why not? We all were there.

Don't remember who we exactly were.

- Maybe Lord Indra-- - It's good!

I didn't find it interesting.

Then you draw something!

Do you know who you are talking to?

- Hey, Sonu! Back to the Rangoli. - Come on.

Omkar, show me how to tie that final knot!

You never told us where you learned that.

I was this close to getting into the army but I was underweight.

- Did you like it so much? - No!

Why not?

No, it's good!

My 5 rupee coin fell into the hole as I was looking at it.

I will ask those kids. Hey, Ninad!

Don' worry! I will give you 10 rupees.

You think I'm a beggar?

- Sorry! - Pull it gently.

Sonu, it's just that I want the same coin!

Lucky coin?

- Yes - Who gave it to you?

MF Hussain.

Wow! Then we must get it out.

- Hey, Ninad! - Not now, in the evening!

Ninad, my coin has fallen into the hole! Get that out!

Then I want my marble, too!

That's fine. Come.

Hey! Mind my Rangoli.

Do it.

Did you find it?

Got it but doesn't seem like a 5 rupee coin!

- It's something round with a hole. - Yes! That!

But that's not a 5 rupee coin!

Just do as I say! Get it out.

Hurry up!

- Wait! I am looking for my marble! - The ring...

It's just like a ring. Get that. Then get your marble.

That's my lucky marble.

Get my coin first. Then your marble, okay?

But Sonu doesn't let me.

She will. Sonu, will you?

Yes!

Tell him.

Yes, sure.

Hey! Do it quick.

It's not that easy! Wait.

My Rangoli! Hey! Just get your hand out!

What?

It's stuck.

What!

- Hey! Stop! I will help you. - Raju, no!

- What are you laughing at? - It's ticklish!

- Shut up! - Hey! It's really stuck!

Hey! Stop! What's wrong?

My hand is really stuck here!

Don't worry. We will take it out.

Just don't lose that round thing.

Ninad's mother! Ninad's hand is stuck!

Wait don't tell her right now!

Let's lift this now. Get ready, all! The flag is ready!

- Take it easy Ninad, okay? - Be careful.

Turn it around?.

- Make way, everyone! - Make way!

- Wait up! His hand is... - Move! You'll get hurt!

Don't worry! Once the flag is here

he will be free!

I am not joking! It's really stuck!

Oh, really! Keep the flag here.

Careful! Show me...

- My Rangoli! - Hold on.

Ninad! Ninad! Move!

Ninad, what happened? How did your hand get stuck?

Move aside.

I keep telling you not to play with these guys!

Everybody else is fine. Only your hand is stuck.

Don't blame them.

When my Pappu loses his marbles, I get him new ones.

No need to finger any holes for that!

I had ordered you to stay home and study.

There was no need to play! Of all the games, you play marbles!

You know, I always tell him that sports is not for us.

If you have to play, play cricket.

Or even Kabaddi. But marbles?

I have been asking for a cricket bat for so long!

- Ninad! - Shut up! Idiot!

If I bought you a bat,

you would have stuck that in a hole, too!

Now, suffer! Idiot!

- Mommy! - Mr. Joshi! Listen...

Don't leave your troubled son alone now.

They may turn into gangsters.

Yes, I understand.

His hand won't be stuck forever. It will come out soon.

- But he needs a little discipline. - Watch my Rangoli!

He's a drama queen!

Doesn't eat vegetables.

Just junk food, like Americans!

But we need to take his hand out right now.

How can he eat vegetables otherwise?

Ninad!

Promise that you will listen to your mother and me.

Your hand will be out in no time.

Don't worry! Mr. Gokhale is here!

Wipe his tears, come on.

I will show you some magic now!

Make way now.

Don't you cry now! I am here.

Don't worry about the hand or the hole!

Just keep looking at the painting!

Very good!

Do you know any poem?

- What? - A poem.

I know a song.

Okay, then sing this devotional song.

I don't know that one.

Don't know any? What is this? My Pappu can sing all vintage songs.

Pappu...

The treasure called the body Be treasured for devotion

- Very Good! - Hey!

Is your hand stuck? Shut up!

Daddy!

Okay, which song do you know? Well, sing this one.

- How about the patriotic one? - Yes!

Good! Everyone, clap now!

Go ahead.

Let's wake the whole forest

Let's light a roaring fire

Let's lay down our lives

for the kingdom of farmers.

Let's wake the whole forest.

Let's light a roaring fire.

Let's lay down our lives

For the kingdom of farmers

Hey, Uncle!

Don't you get it? What if it gets fractured?

- Ninad, does it hurt? - What nonsense!

How can it get fractured?

Fracture needs serious injury! How can it get fractured?

Worst thing that can happen is a sprain! Nothing more!

Gokhale, come here! Get me down.

Me? Guys, help him!

- Us? - Go!

- Come quick. - Hold carefully.

- Don't drop him. - Careful!

You've gained weight, Patil!

What happened?

Nothing much. Ninad's hand got stuck in the hole.

I tried getting it out but the angle is bad.

I'll try again.

Not anymore! Don't you touch my son's arm!

Are you okay, Ninad? Don't cry, my boy!

- It's bleeding! - What! Bleeding!

- Let me see-- - Ma'am!

Don't worry! We'll get some Dettol or turmeric.

Sure, get it.

- Rohit, go-- - Wait!

Use that yellow color from the Rangoli.

It's turmeric.

My stupid daughter has used up the whole box of turmeric!

No! It's probably dirty now.

Go get something soon!

Rohit, go get some.

Wait, he is getting something.

Why do we need antiseptic?

- We need turmeric. - Please keep quiet.

Mom, do we have Dettol?

We need at least 10 minutes to wear a saree and some makeup!

What's the point of it? I don't want to go to the USA.

Where's the bottle?

What difference does it make?

They were telling on TV that the world is getting smaller.

Someone tell me where it is!

Will you say something?

What do you want me to say?

Last time she rejected because he was a villager.

And now, because he is a foreigner.

Where do you want to live? On the moon?

Why are you bothering her if she doesn't want to get married?

You shut your trap!

And stay here. Those guests are arriving soon.

Don't tell them that she has a brother.

The wedding bells aren't gonna ring!

You scoundrel!

- Do social work at the cost of family! - Is it hurting?

Just wait, dear.

- Get it. - Wait.

- Wait. - Show me where it's bleeding.

Here it is.

Here? Okay!

- Does it hurt? Take it! - Don't cry, dear.

Should have used turmeric.

- Must be really painful. - Don't cry.

- There's some in the box. - Why are you crying?

Ninad, is someone pulling your hand from inside?

Shut up!

I have heard that the rats dig long tunnels.

- Shut up. - His hand is still stuck?

It will get out.

Everyone was singing, I thought he was free.

Mr. Joshi, I had told you earlier. Times are changing! See!

- My Rangoli! - Calm down, for God's sake.

- I think I know what is happening. - What?

Drop whatever you are holding and get your hand out.

Dropped it?

No.

Why?

I will get you a cricket bat today itself.

- Leave that marble. - Yes, drop it.

I can't!

Why the hell not?

Because I am not holding a marble.

What? Then why did you put your hand there?

Raju told me to!

My 5 rupee coin fell into the hole.

I had seen him taking marbles out of the hole.

So I just asked him if he could.

It's all because of you!

That's why you are silent!

You are not even helping us!

Ninad, leave that coin and get your hand out.

- Do it. - Brother, please don't!

What? My son is stuck here!

But you are worried about your 5 rupee coin!

Throw 500 rupees on his face.

500?

That 5 rupee coin is worth millions!

- A 5 rupee coin worth millions. - Yes.

No wonder she always fails in math.

Raju! What have you done!

- Let go of the coin. - Do it.

- Did you drop it? - Did you?

I can't! It's stuck.

How can it get stuck?

It's a coin with a hole!

- With a hole? - Listen...

Listen, drop whatever it is.

A coin, a coin with a hole, a marble...

If we can't let go of greed

we can't lead a peaceful life!

- Wow! - Wait.

I am going to put this point across in my speech!

From where did you get that coin?

Don't get angry, ma'am!

If his hand could go in, it will come out, too!

It won't be permanent.

- Right, Uncle? - Yes.

15 times 1 is 15.

- Write... - 15 times 3 is 45.

15 times 5 is 75. 15 times 8 is 120.

- 15 times 10-- - Mr. Joshi! Mr. Joshi!

Let's put something slippery inside.

Like soap water.

Correct! Vini, go home and get some soap.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Get the one from Switzerland, sent by your aunt.

It's a wonderful soap.

Doesn't wear off for 10 years, I have heard!

What should we do till then?

Hey!

Yes, let's use this foam.

- Rub more. Be careful. - Okay, I will.

- Feeling better now? - Are you?

- It will be all right, okay? - Don't worry.

- Is it properly spread? - Yes.

- Just pull it. - I am afraid.

Don't be. Let me try!

Wait! Wait! Wait!

We have tried individually. Now the society will help!

What are you looking at? Get ready!

Okay, let's go!

We achieved independence when society came together.

A hand is such a small thing!

No, Mr. Gokhale!

Last time you tried, he cried!

Sister! Don't worry! It's science.

The angle in which it went in

it will take same angle to take it out!

But nobody knows the correct angle.

So, let's all pull together from different angles

and the hand will come out

Understood?

Daddy! Mom has called you home.

It's going to be fun!

He doesn't know anything about science.

I am not convinced with this plan.

What's the doubt? We've got soap from Switzerland

and a fantastic idea about angles.

It will work! Hold this.

Get some water.

- Go, be quick. - Make proper soapy water.

Once we pour the water

it will help free the hand.

- Hello! - I'm wearing a saree!

Hello!

Yes?

Listen, I am going to make the worst possible tea for him.

While serving him, I will spill it right on his pants.

He should feel the burn in the middle!

He might be out of the market permanently if you hit it right.

I don't know about that, but he will be out of my life!

And then I am going to swear so loudly afterwards

that they will run for their lives!

What should I say?

Asshole!

That's normal! Tell me something you wouldn't say!

Motherfucker!

Yes! This is good! Motherfucker!

If you say it like this, then it has no impact.

Show me how it is done.

Motherfucker!

Motherfucker!

Correct!

Okay, bye for now!

No auto rickshaw comes here! My feet are aching.

What's going on?

His hand got stuck.

Anyway, let's see.

Be careful and spread it properly.

Uncle, the soap is finished!

- Really? - Yes.

- I was told it will last for years. - It ran out in minutes.

Now everyone hold his hand together.

- Yes. - Hold on a minute.

Together we will pull it upwards

only once.

Otherwise he will be in lot of pain

and think his hand was better off in the hole.

- Come on, hold it. - Come on.

I can't bend down as much.

Gavaskar, do as much as you can!

And grab what you can find.

- I can grab just the upper arm. - Upper arm?

If that's what you can, then do it!

I can neither bend down, nor can I see.

Just give us your blessings.

- Sure. - Okay? Come on.

- Ready, everyone? - Yes.

Now which song will you sing?

No, Mr. Joshi, let's not repeat the mistake.

This time, he won't sing.

We will sing now, he will only listen.

Let us sing an inspirational song.

That's nice!

Right? Thank you! Good!

Wait! Wait! Hey! Give me the whistle!

Very good!

Gokhale, be quick!

- Is there a pebble in it? - Yes.

On the first whistle, we start singing

and on the second whistle, we pull!

- Okay? - Okay.

We will be united We will be united

We will be united someday

O' deep in my heart, I do believe

We will be united someday

Enough! If anyone tries to pull his arm again, beware!

Wait! I will tell you what to do.

Get a hammer and chisel and break the floor

to get the pipe out.

But won't we need more time to get hand out of pipe then?

Are you dumb?

At least he will be able to move around

with that piece of pipe. What say?

He's out!

- Yay! It's my turn now! - No, mine!

- Gavaskar, see what he is showing! - See it yourself.

Gokhale, what are you showing him now?

How did it get stuck?

- Stop! - Mummy, water!

Sure, dear. Somebody, please get some water.

- Please ask someone to get water. - Go, get water.

Hey! Get water! Scuttle!

Sir, do you have water at home?

Is there any?

No! We did not get any water this morning!

Yes! Water is a big problem these days!

This is why, in my speech...

Gavaskar!

Go, get some!

Hey! Do it carefully!

- Be gentle. - The pieces are randomly flying.

- That day the water supply was limited! - My Rangoli!

Will you please shut up?

Don't worry about it now.

- Ouch! - What happened?

- It's flying into my eye! - Do it carefully!

Someone give him glasses.

We don't want him to get injured again.

I think I forgot my glasses at the temple.

She always forgets.

Here, wear this.

It won't hurt your eyes now. You hammer it gently.

Be careful, will you?

I don't think the hammer and chisel are working. Nothing is happening.

- Try harder. - Get to it.

His eyes must be hurting.

What happened?

My head hurts! I'm having double vision!

- Double vision? - He's in so much pain!

Which idiot gave him the glasses? It's power glasses.

- Take it off. - Come on, take them off.

- Pappu! - Yes, Daddy?

Go home and get our sunglasses.

Hold on. Which one?

The one from Switzerland, brought by aunt!

Let me tell you about sunglasses.

The legislator is here!

- Legislator! - Please talk to him.

Okay. Sir! Sir!

- Hold on! Hold on! - It will be done faster now!

- Sir... - Faster, my foot!

First free his hands from corruption.

Think positive for once!

- Hello! - Hello!

- Look at this! - So, this is the problem?

Yes.

How much time do we need to get the machine?

15 to 20 minutes.

You have a machine to get hands out?

No. It's the road excavator. It will get the job done sooner.

- Get it soon. - Okay, sir.

Hello, sir. Would you like to eat tricolor jalebi?

It's independence Day special.

I'm sorry, but I have 3 flag hoistings to attend.

Need to rush.

Don't worry, my boy.

Remember, keep your hands safe.

When you vote

they mark your fingernails.

- Your son? - Yes.

- Cute kid. - Thank you.

- See you then. - See you.

Sir!

- Please send that machine soon. - Sure.

Please send it soon. Thank you, sir. Thank you.

It will create a bigger hole.

- They are sending it soon! - Really!

I don't think it will be here.

Just false promises.

We shouldn't depend on politicians.

Right! British rule wasn't half as bad as this.

Forget democracy.

We need a king like Shivaji Maharaj.

What about Hitler?

Don't say it today, at least

Let's get the inspiration flowing. Sing!

We will be united We will be united

We will be united someday

O' deep in my heart I do believe

Jai Hind!

Look, Gokhale! Here comes our champion!

I have been hearing this yapping for too long.

He is still drunk.

I am over my hangover but this just doesn't seem to end.

- Heed my advice. - What?

- Call a doctor. - Doctor?

Why call a doctor?

He will numb his hand with an injection.

Then it won't pain as much.

For once this drunkard has made sense!

When I had my bypass, they numbed my body and did so much work, still no pain!

But what if something happens when we pull it up!

He won't know it now, but later on...

- Don't cry. - Ah! You bunch of cowards!

Let me tell you a safer option.

Tell us.

Today's Independence Day.

No alcohol day!

I have a spare bottle. Why don't you give him some?

- Rascal. - How could he say that!

- I want it, too. - Shut up.

Then his hand will go so deep

that it will touch the lava.

- Rascal! - Mr. Joshi, wait!

You talk about giving liquor to a child!

But I haven't given him any. Why did you smash my bottle?

I will smash all the liquor on this planet!

I'll smash every bottle in the country!

I'll ban liquor all over the country!

Drunkard rascal! You want to spoil my kid!

My Rangoli!

He is a drunk! He is a drunk!

- You dare talk about my son! - He has two hands!

Let it go!

- Just cut it off! - What did you say!

- What the hell! - Stop this, please!

Stop, Brother! Please stop!

You dare hold my hand!

How dare you! Just cut his hand off!

Let's see how you paint!

- Jobless, worthless person! - Get back!

- Wait! Don't get into this! - I'll kill him!

Stop!

Who is this now?

Is this Gandhi Chawl? Deshmukh?

Get down.

Thank you. By the way, nice shirt!

Ninad.

- Are they here for Jui? - They're visiting the Deshmukhs.

- So, it has to be for Jui. - Is the car from Switzerland?

Have you been there?

No, but daddy is taking me during Diwali vacation.

Please come in.

You reached in time.

Greetings. Greetings.

It's okay. Leave your footwear inside.

Jui?

Even we leave it inside.

- Oh, no! It's raining! - Get the umbrellas quick!

- Hurry up! - Hey!

- Be careful! - Get inside!

Hurry up!

- Move! - Hey!

- Damn! It had to rain now! - Let it rain!

How else will we get water?

And don't worry. We'll try again after it stops raining.

Okay.

Got a light?

Painting a picture doesn't change anything.

Can you seize the day?

If you run away on Independence Day

that would be a great story to tell your kids.

I will.

Really?

But don't you chicken out like last time.

But if you do, then we don't know each other.

I will do it today.

I swear!

Okay.

I will do something.

What?

Say it!

Got scared of that suitor, didn't you?

I know!

You feel that she is going to leave!

Stop it!

What?

Isn't he handsome?

Even you're not half as bad.

But he's a shade brighter.

Leave it, bro! You love her!

Love hurts.

Hello!

Okay! Coming. Bye!

Let's go.

Ninad's dad has calmed down.

And Gokhale has thought of a new trick.

Omkar...

The ring I got for Jui is in the hole.

So, that's why you...

Leave it! I will give you another one. Come on.

But that's pure gold with three small diamonds!

Your life's savings are in a hole now!

We will do something.

Come on!

Don't tell anyone yet. Wait for the right time.

Good idea!

Everyone close their eyes and start praying.

"Glory to thee, O' Lord Hanuman...

Glory to thee, messenger of Ram"

One, two, three!

- One, two-- - What the hell are you doing?

Don't worry! Pure science! Law of Gravitation!

It will be successful!

One, two, three...

Listen! Newton was as young as Ninad

when the apple fell on his head. Rest is history!

- One, two, three! - Let go of him!

- Let go-- - One, two, three!

His face is as red as an Apple!

It's upside down Yoga!

His whole body would have gotten released.

His eyes would have gotten better!

and his hand would have come out of the hole.

Don't touch his hand again!

And if you want to experiment, do it on your kids

by sticking their hands in a hole!

Quiet.

But for that we need to get your son's hand out first.

There are many holes in the universe, this is not the only one!

Go there and stick their hands in.

Then try your tricks!

He will never do that to his own kids.

Is it hurting too much?

That hole is filled with water.

His hand might rot! Look!

Stupid!

You've been doing dishes forever.

Even a dead body doesn't rot in such small time.

This is a living body!

Go, do my dishes!

Don't cry, dear.

The more you cry, the more it will pain.

Yes, dear. Why are you crying?

I always feel like this after it rains.

You always cry after it rains?

No!

What happened, dear?

What?

He wants to pee!

Don't I tell you to not drink water

when you don't need it!

Stop Laughing!

Every time I take him to a film or on a train, he has to pee!

Don't get angry, otherwise he will pee in his pants.

I don't care.

He is not a kid anymore but still wets the bed sometimes!

Joshi, what is this!

Pappu, Vini...

Which one?

- Swiss made... - No!

This time, Indians to the rescue!

I have a great idea for you!

Stop with your ideas already!

Gokhale, what did you tell those kids?

You won't understand, otherwise I would have told you.

Stop laughing! He thinks he's running the show!

What do you mean?

Hold on! What did you mean?

These people in our tenement are always up to something.

Don't mind them.

That's our Guru! Very powerful!

Get some tea!

- Ask him if he liked the snacks! - You made them! You ask!

I am not marrying him!

Then do it!

Jui! Go!

- Tea. - Wait! I will get it.

- It's okay. - Allow me to get it.

Okay.

- Motherfucker! - Motherfucker!

Jui!

I'm sorry! Really!

I will get the napkin.

It's okay!

- Shh... - Shut up!

Who's making these sounds?

Who is it? Who...

I'm sorry.

Though I live in the US I still curse in Marathi!

What more cuss words do you know?

Idiots around here are always cursing.

Sometimes, one or two just slip out you know...

Then why not curse on purpose?

Either ban the cursing.

Or why not give them the freedom to curse right, left and center!

Exactly!

- Is this even the topic right now? - Right.

You should listen to her poems.

She never uses cuss words!

- She is a poet. - Yes.

Though we live in a chawl her upbringing has always been nice

Jui...

Recite a nice poem

Even I write poetry.

- Oh! - Come on.

Right now, it's her turn, okay?

Come on, Jui.

Are you making one up right now?

Yes!

Then let us know when you are done!

I will, but will you get it?

"The tea spilt on his body.

The tea spilt on his body.

Still he is interested.

He just had a tea spill. It's cool he thinks still.

Go on, if you must.

But remember, safety first!"

Wow! Outstanding!

- Wow! - Outstanding!

Why are you clapping? It's not a poem!

I can do this all day long!

No but, we loved it! I'm going to clap!

- Right, dad? - Yes! Absolutely!

Wow!

- What's going on in there? - Prayers?

Must be for Mother India!

- Dad! - Yes! Good job, guys!

Take this pipe!

One end here and the other, in the toilet!

- What is he up to now? - Great idea!

Sister! It's not as simple as it sounds!

The pipe needs to be straight.

If the levels don't match

we might need a pump.

All right.

Ready? What is the matter now?

Just pee in the pipe.

You will pee with force, right?

- Will you? - But tell everyone to go away first!

Don't worry!

I am going to put it in your pants.

- In the pants! - What's happening?

That's my water pipe!

- I will clean it. - No way!

- Listen! - Hey!

See! No one helps each other when it comes to water!

Two states fight over river water.

Don't worry!

Necessity is the mother of invention!

There is only one way left.

- Bottle! - Bottle?

Bottle?

Okay.

Ninad, which bottle do you want?

Ninad, look here. Stop crying.

Please don't cry dear.

You like orange juice, right? Let's have an orange juice bottle.

Yes! Orange juice.

Yes! Orange juice it is! Here!

Let's do it now, okay!

No! Tell everyone to go!

Why so ashamed?

Even your dad has peed on me!

What!

When?

You silly! I have held your dad in my arms, when he was a kid.

Ninad! Please don't spill over my Rangoli place, okay?

I need to do my Rangoli again.

Go do it at your home.

- I want to do it here. - Tell everyone to go.

- What if you have to poop? - Shut up!

It's all because of you! You made my son feel ashamed!

Please don't forget we live in a chawl named after Gandhi!

Now save it for your speech!

Gavaskar, you are senior. Tell Raju to get lost, or else I will.

Why are you doing still standing here? Get Lost!

- Raju's dad... - Silence!

I have this fabulous idea!

- Give me your umbrella! - But it's not raining.

- Look at my idea! - What!

Listen up! We will all stand there.

Come on, everyone!

The umbrella will be between us and Ninad!

- Come, let's go. - Let's stand there.

Come on, Mr. Patil. Let's go.

Did you start?

- Just a minute - Okay. Come On!

One, two...

Now that's more like it!

Joshi, keep this souvenir!

This is one of a kind event!

Come here, take it!

Very good!

- Clap, everyone! - Thank you!

What happened, Granny?

Shrihari! Good you are here.

Done with the veneration?

- Yes! - Just check his hand!

- Come on! - Okay! Hold this.

- Granny, you did a wise thing! - Show me your hand.

On the occasion of Independence Day, let's all get our palms read!

These are from last year. January, during winter.

Oh, dear! Where is this big hole?

They have made it specifically.

South Africa! They extracted lots of diamonds!

So that kid whose hand got stuck... Is it out now?

Let it be! This whole chawl is a hole!

And we are stuck here!

Even we were stuck in India.

But Amit showed us the world as promised!

Doesn't he travel with you?

Well, it's either money or leisure. Work-home balance, you know!

Show us your house!

Amit, show them!

Wait a minute!

- It's okay! - Just be quiet for a while.

This is my house!

The land in the background is also ours. Amit has bought it last year!

How big is the house?

What silly question is that?

Their toilet would be bigger than our house.

Please, don't!

Should I go ahead?

Amit is interested in paintings, too!

And he likes them spick and clean!

So, this is my gallery...

Do you paint?

No, I don't!

Neither do I write like you, or sing.

Basically I'm not an artist. That's the regret!

That shouldn't be the regret.

You have achieved so much at this young age.

What is art after all? Just another name of poverty.

I don't think so! Wait.

You see this painting?

I spent 6 months' salary on this!

He is an Indian artist called Rajesh Vast.

Nobody knew him 4 years ago.

There, it's all a game of fate.

Here or there, it doesn't matter! It's all the same.

True.

I feel like, our entire life, we run in a rat race.

Live for it and die in a rat hole.

I believe an artist truly lives his life.

He is free.

Raju!

You are going to elope, right?

Then pack your bags!

I don't have that many clothes!

But I need to take these paintings, else, my dad will burn them.

What are you looking for?

Try exactly in 15 minutes to get his hand out.

Will it come out?

- Maybe a little bit. - What!

I can't guarantee complete release, but I need to see Raju's hand for that.

I will grab his hand!

I will visit the temple since there is some time.

- Again? - To pray for his hand getting out.

Touch Guruji's feet!

It's okay!

He won't suffer the same fate in future, would he?

When he turns 25 both his hands will get stuck somewhere.

- Oh, God! - Let his one hand get out first!

Jui Deshmukh, not Sui.

It's spelt J-U-I... Stays in the same chawl.

What do you mean how's she?

Raju is getting married to her, am I right?

Yes!

Yes? Then when are you going to tell her?

Should I?

What do you mean by that?

How will she know if you don't?

Call her and let me know!

What a nuisance...

What the heck are you doing here?

Oh, dear! I'm leaving, okay?

Tell others that Raju is taking a bath.

So, you guys are going to take a bath now?

Shall we?

I need to read Raju's palm.

Have a nice cup of tea!

You have it, too. It's free today!

Raju is taking a bath.

Here, Gavaskar, have some tea.

Thank you!

What is Sonu doing there?

Admiring his paintings. She's a fan.

Ninad! Eat quickly!

Ninad! Eat less, okay?

Joshi, don't restrict him. You eat what you want!

I have an idea for latrine, too!

Don't look at me, I will show when it is needed.

Can we get some biscuits along?

- Mom, look! - Eat up.

Eat fast, otherwise your fingers can get stuck in the snack.

That's good!

Forget me, but at least keep this ring as a souvenir.

I know it's cheap but it has the Indian flag on it.

It will look good on you!

You have huge fingers!

Just hold the brush and keep painting!

Keep it close, don't lose it!

How many more such affairs

are you going to have in this chawl?

Wasn't that one time enough?

You made that poor kid get his hand stuck.

And here you are holding hands with another girl!

Uncle! Don't doubt him!

He doesn't philander! He loves!

- Moreover-- - I will slap you! Get out!

Raju! If you keep doing this,

I will have to throw you out someday.

I am going to leave anyway!

Then leave, right now!

I am!

When you quickly realize your mistake

you will call me back.

And then, I will!

Here comes Raju!

Here comes Raju!

- Raju! Show me your hand! - Huh?

Just show it!

Wow! Wow! Wow!

Try exactly after 5 minutes!

It will be out!

Why are you clapping? Is it out yet?

Listen! We have two things on our side.

Srihari's prediction, means fate is with us

Secondly, my constant efforts! Assume the hand will be free!

What you are going to attempt this time?

I will not let you pull his hand out

with force!

Don't worry! Nobody will touch him!

Won't even hover around him.

I have realized something.

I don't think any human can pull this off.

What? No human?

What is this idiot up to now?

Have you told Jui yet?

Have you told Jui yet?

Are you planning to elope alone?

Amit, is this the time to play a game?

But everyone is silent.

Is there anything left to talk about?

- We like Jui a lot. - Right.

We like Amit as well.

- Right? - Yes.

I think Amit and Jui should have a chat.

No, I don't think she needs to--

I want to!

Why not?

Shall we go out?

I will change and be back.

Sure.

Hey! Shoo! Shoo!

Hey! Go back!

Shoo! Get out!

Simon, go back!

Get out, I say! Get out!

Shoo! Go away!

Gokhale!

What have you done?

If he barked for two more minutes, the hand would have been free!

You all lack patience!

Patience! My speech--

Stop it!

Everyone, shut up!

Should I try?

No, don't. They will insult you.

Our chawl is like India.

Only trash. No development.

Come, let's sit down. Amit, come on, sit.

- Get the jalebi! - Sure.

That lying public servant corporator.

Where is his machine?

He will turn into a beggar for votes.

I will go and look for that machine.

I'll be back.

It's okay, Dad. I am used to this now.

Shut up!

- Why are you shouting? - Sorry.

We haven't done anything yet. He's still shouting.

No matter how hard we try, he will throw insults at us.

Raju, don't feel guilty.

I was going to hit him when he attacked Raju.

Let it be.

Our Independence Day celebration is more important!

Just because you can speak, today is important?

You had gone for a picnic last year.

So, shall we do it today, or tomorrow then?

It's Independence Day! Not your kitty party!

The Flag hoisting should happen as soon as possible.

Everyone must have done it by now.

And we are just sitting here.

We should do it now!

But where can we hoist a flag when his hand is stuck!

Just near the regular hole. Our country is bigger than a hand.

But now we will need a stand to hoist the flag!

- And to drill another hole-- - We have one!

Really? Go get it now! Even you go now.

- Come on. - Move aside!

Where are you going?

IF we are putting a new flag I need to decorate it with Rangoli.

It doesn't feel right to hoist a flag

when his hand is still stuck.

Why not?

The flag and the sun will come down together, come what may!

Be it a hand, leg, head or anything for that matter!

Why hasn't the fire brigade arrived yet?

Fire brigade?

Nobody thought of that!

Fire brigade!

Tell me the number

It's 101, Dad!

- Call fire brigade right away! - Rohit, call fire brigade.

Why?

- Looks like Jui is all set! - He likes her, I guess.

Tell me a real poem.

Not now, please!

Okay.

"I blew on a wounded heart.

But I Ignited a fire of pain.

I blew on wounded heart but I Ignited a fire of pain.

For I never knew

that one ember remained inside.

I plunged into my tears and came up.

All that was left were remnants of that rusted sorrow.

What games do I play with myself?

When I run to happiness, you pull me back.

The newly bloomed flowers must remain unscathed.

Because as the soft wind blows

it carries their fragrance, as I breathe."

Wow!

Did you talk to Jui? Our friend is ready! See to it.

Or else, she might just run away in that handsome guy's car!

Pardon me!

But I won't give my stand for the flag hoisting.

Why?

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Get your hand off!

Bulldozer. Bulldozer! Bulldozer!

Bulldozer! Bulldozer! Hey, Bulldozer!

Today's India!

Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan

Sri Lanka! They were all part of India.

14 August was another partition!

I celebrate it as "Whole India Day"!

A sad day for us!

Mr. Rajadhyaksha, the whole world is fragmented.

- The whole world is a family. - Really?

What do you do when someone asks you

where you live?

The world?

No, you don't! Anyway, moving ahead...

There's more?

Let me help you.

Take the call

No, it's okay.

Please go ahead and sit down. I will just take this.

Okay. Tea or Coffee?

- Coffee! Okay. - I will join you soon.

Jui, listen!

Get ready, Omkar and his friends have arranged everything.

After the flag hoisting is over, we shall elope, okay?

Hello! Jui! You there?

- Hello! - Yes.

I will give you a heads up in the meanwhile, okay?

But where are we going?

What?

Where are we going?

We will figure it out!

What do you mean?

We will manage something!

Maybe, could be, will be... I am tired of all this now!

What has gotten into you?

I am sick and tired of all this!

I have been waiting and watching

for all these years for that day to come.

When will that day come?

Thank you!

Raju, nothing happens suddenly!

Lots of time has passed!

What have you done all these years?

You have always taken me for granted

and I'm the idiot who is putting up a fight for you.

You have nothing else

but your half-done paintings and you!

Not even me!

Not even those paintings actually.

I don't think even you want them!

They're just lying around collecting dust.

Don't talk about my work!

Who stopped me from taking up a job and told me to pursue art?

I... I said it, okay! I accept that!

I apologize to you! Okay?

But you haven't done anything either!

I was not born to prove anything to you.

I never forced anything upon you.

Okay! That's my mistake!

I think my parents were right.

I should have gone for a rich boy.

I fell for you and...

Just say it, you liked this rich guy!

Why so silent now?

Even if I did, what is it to you?

Just the smart faces and posh cars don't make up for a better life!

Oh, really? Neither does jealousy!

Why are you defending him?

Raju, listen to me...

Are you insulting me in front of him?

No, I am not!

Now you listen to me!

Go on! Marry him!

I don't want to be with you anymore! Okay?

Okay! Thank you so much! Bye!

I am ready to marry you.

- Omkar, give me the keys! - What!

Your bike keys!

I have decorated a car! What are you...

I will paint my canvas with that American's blood!

- Who does she think she is? - Raju, wait!

Raju!

- Patil, drink Paya soup for the leg. - Any signs of wedding?

- Again? - Not for me, for Sonu!

I've to examine her hand.

I am giving it right now, but not for republic day!

- Let me make it clear! - I'll carry it!

I am even going to ask the government to change this day!

Eva!

My girlfriend.

Was...

She passed away 4 years back. Cancer.

I'm sorry.

No, it's okay.

Every year I offer flowers on her grave.

and will keep doing it for my whole life.

Does anyone get free after death?

Anyway, your turn. Show me his photo.

Whose?

Oh, come on! The phone guy...

We have no connection anymore.

Why are we talking about this?

I am ready to marry you.

If you are ready.

I was always ready.

You wanted to talk something, so here we are.

Anyway, show me his photo!

Oh, come on. You can show me his picture.

He looks alive.

I mean, I met him. He showed me your home.

What's his name?

Raju.

Raju! Nice!

Isn't that like

a very common name in India?

Anyway, what does he do?

He's a painter.

Wait a minute! So, back at home... Oh, God!

May I ask something?

Sure, go on!

After we are married, will you buy

one of his paintings?

So, when you visit

your girlfriend's grave

just that one day, I will look at that painting.

Why just one?

I'll buy them all if possible!

- I'll draw a small Rangoli this time. - Bring it.

Who knows?

What are you doing? Turn it around!

Turn it around, Omkar.

- Turn it. - Wait, I'll move this way.

- Watch your back. - Get back.

I am at the back.

- Hold up. - My knees hurt lately.

Go to Dr. VT Pol. He treated my knees well.

- Higher. - I can run for miles now.

- Take it up. - Yes, that's right.

I want to stand up, too!

Don't stress yourself.

We will do it at home once you are fine, okay?

Don't rush it.

Stop! I won't let anyone hoist the flag till my son is freed!

Joshi!

People have fought so hard for our independence

And you're fighting against flag hoisting. What are you doing?

We all feel sorry for your son.

But now you are insulting the entire nation!

Did he start his speech already?

I think you should not be insulting your country.

It's my son's mistake, I know!

I am with you! When will I get a chance to protest

at this age anyway? Get me a chair!

Granny! Do you think protest is time pass?

This guy was so violent earlier.

Now he is trying to stall the flag hoisting?

- I think we should call the police. - Right!

Do as you wish! I don't care even if I die!

Please talk to him! Joshi!

Raju, wait! Stop right there!

You created this mess and now you are roaming around free?

You get my son's hand out!

What are you doing, Joshi?

It's my mistake! What do you want me to do?

We should carry on with the flag hoisting.

His hand might spontaneously come out while saluting the flag!

Maybe.

Joshi, don't...

Why didn't you say this before?

Absolutely right! Freedom is most powerful!

Ninad!

You just have to salute the nation!

Only Mother India will save you now!

Come on, let's begin! Gokhale...

Yes!

Come on. Get in line.

- 47... - Make a queue.

Get in line. Don't you know how to?

I can't see from behind. I'm the secretary.

No favoritism here.

Hey, Rohit! Get back.

- I'll stand here. - This is my place!

- Why are you standing back? - Hurry up!

Hello, everyone!

Today is our Independence Day!

Really?

In the fight for freedom...

I think I have made all my points

throughout the day's incidents.

It's already late... Let's just hoist the flag.

Thank you.

Not like that. That's the wrong way.

Pull this now.

Very good.

This one.

Pull this now.

Now the national anthem.

- Jai Hind! - Jai Hind!

I'm free!

- Hey! - His hand is free!

Will you buy one of his paintings

after our wedding?

Why just one? I'll buy them all if possible.

I am not going to meet him again, I promise.

I am not worried about that.

We will be there in the USA, he will be here!

You won't even be able to see him.

And you know

you will feel that the life there

is beyond our dreams and imagination.

I will give you everything.

You don't have to do anything except...

Be beautiful and keep writing beautiful poems.

Our kids are going to be so cute.

We will raise them well, we will have fun

and live happily ever after.

Then one day, I will die peacefully in your arms.

Then one day, you will die, too.

And then, your entire life

will flash before your eyes.

Thousands of colors and images...

Countless memories...

And in those moments you will see a face...

Raju!

He will look at you and laugh and you will cry.

Because all his life he painted beautiful pictures

and we destroyed them.

You might want to live more just to recreate those poems, colors and faces.

But that won't happen.

You will die with regret.

Don't fall into this trap.

Today is a good day.

Hug him tight in front of everyone

and be free, forever.
