[Bell rings]

After living in London for 25 years..

..he has returned to India now. - Really?

But he is a true Indian. - Wow.

London.

One house there..

..one house, here.

Shalini.

[Sighs]

Happy, happy birthday, dear.

The priest gave me a garland to put on your picture.

But garlands are put on the dead.

You are not dead. You are close to me.

You are with me every moment.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday, Shalini.

Happy birthday, dear.

Dear.

I love you, darling. I love you.

Love you. Love you.

Inspector, my daughter's name is Sanya Puri.

And she has been missing, sir.

Hello Lalit, No, no news of Sanya.

It's 3 AM. Ok. Let me check out the house once again.

Ok. Ok, bye.

See you, darling Sanya. See you.

Where have you been? - A friend's birthday.

I went out for a party. - Do you know what time it is?

Yes. It is 3 O'clock. - [Thunder rumbling]

Aren't you ashamed? For four hours, I've been looking for you.

Why? I'm not a kid! Go to bed, Papa. We'll talk in the morning.

Why not now?

Because I am not Ok.

Why? - Because you are not Ok, man.

Man? You've been drinking? - Not alcohol. Just wine.

You drink wine?

Big deal. Just leave me alone.

I told you! Let's talk in the morning

Shut. - Don't. Don't dare hit me.

Or I'll complain to the police, I'll report you.

Do you understand? You better do.

Saniya, are you out of your mind?

Unless a parent has answer to his children's questions..

..he cannot be their friend.

Drinking coke in the store? - Why not?

I know your weakness, I've stocked up on Coke at home.

Not one but I have two weaknesses.

First is coke and the other is your beautiful hair.

Stop it. - Besides, this is the best coolant for my hot head.

Here's a coolant for your hot head. Look at this greeting card.

Sanskrit shlok.

The only time I heard Sanskrit, was the only time I spoke Sanskrit.

And that was during my wedding, and then the priest..

..recited the mumbo-jumbo and then on..

..to Buckingham, Birmingham, and all over.

Sorry. Sorry.

You are the scholar, you are the professor of Sanskrit.

And you teach in London university. - Yes.

You translate that for me.

[Sanskrit shlok]

Meaning?

Till the age of five, children are to be loved.

After they turn ten, you ought to keep an eye on them.

Once they turn sixteen, you ought to make friends with them.

Get that, love? At sixteen, make friends.

That's if you want a happy home, forever.

Old hat. - Also today's new message.

Striking a friendship with my daughters!

For a father like me! In an alien land.

Return the trolley. I'll be in the car

Yes, sir. Yes. Always.

[Police siren wails] - [Gunshot]

Come on. Come on.

Stop it!

[Car horn blares]

Shalini!

Shalini!

Shalu!

Help!

Shalu. Oh God!

[Screams] No!

They've withdrawn the support system.

I am sorry, sir. You have just a few more minutes to speak to her.

Shalu.

How can this be?

The doctor gives me only 2 or 3 minutes to talk to you.

No love, I'm with you.

In 25 years, I haven't even taken a breath, without depending on you.

You've taken care of everything, what am I to do?

The homes, the daughters, how do I take care of them?

What will I talk to them about?

You will, my dear. You are their mother and their father too.

Just promise me one thing. - Tell me, love.

Until they get married, don't stay away..

..from them, be friends with them.

How will I do it, love? Ever since they have grown up..

..I haven't even had a simple conversation with them.

Remember that Sanskrit shlok?

Yes.

Shalu.

Give our three daughters happy farewells.

Understand them, give them understanding.

Sure.

[Crying]

I will tell you when I meet you.

There! I've slapped you. Go to the police. - Isha!

Report me. - Shut up!

Isha.

Don't worry, Raj. Don't worry.

If not me, your friend of 25 years, who else can you open up to?

You're my kin. - Of course.

Before whom else, can I bare my heart?

Stop bickering over every small thing.

So what if they're daughters? The world is full of daughters.

If he can't, he can't.

If you're my son's best friend, why can't you be best friends..

..with your daughters? - L. K, daughters are different.

He can't. He just can't. Right, doctor Javed?

What will you do then?

I'm thinking of returning to India, for a change of environment.

For a father, playing mother is tough.

I will try. I'm off now.

Bye. - Bye.

Kids these days!

Thank God, LK.

Ever since he was a child I put Ronit in a hostel

Let him grow there. Just let him grow there.

That's why I left mine in Lahore. Kids, stay where you belong.

[Door opens]

I am sorry, papa. I am very sorry.

[Crying]

Beat me up. Give me a beating. I lost my mind.

No my baby, you're the best child.

Papa, we three have promised never to make you unhappy, never to fight.

Come here baby.

It's all my fault children, it's my fault entirely.

Now I understand what a great friend your mother was to you.

A father is merely the provider of money, comforts..

..but a mother, is your best friend, sharing your sorrows, your trials.

I did care.

But I didn't. I couldn't share your feelings, children.

I just couldn't share your feelings. I am sorry.

I am sorry. I am really sorry. I am sorry.

No Papa. Now that mother is gone, you are our friend.

We'll do whatever you say.

Ok. Thanks.

Thank you. Thank you, children.

For me today, the only true East where the sun rises is my India.

Ever since my friend Raj went to India

London appears like a ruin to me. My friend is gone.

Now think about your son. He too will go to India after Raj. Right?

100 percent.

It is obvious, sweetheart.

Raj is like a mother, father and friend for him.

Yes. We are not his parents.

We are. But only in name.

Come on now. Let's accept this, sweetheart.

Ronit is Raj and Shalini's son.

In heart, mind and nature. You know that.

That's why he has become middle class.

100 percent, sister.

Look, brother. He has left this big palace and opened a studio.

Dance, music. Love dot com.

He is an artist. Artist.

[Humming]

[Clapping]

Indian music.

Unites millions of Asian Indians across the world by a single thread.

Right? - Right.

The end of all quarrels over race and creed? Indian music.

Right? - Right.

Teaches one language to Punjabis, Maharashtrians, Gujaratis, Bengalis

Indian music. - Right.

Makes every Indian a global Indian. - Indian music.

For friendship, love, marriage...

...log on to our website, cdguru.Com

[Clapping]

How was that? - Great.

Ronit, uncle Raj called for you. He emailed too. Read it.

Uncle Raj. - Yes, uncle Raj. - Let's go.

So how was it? - Fantastic. - Cool.

Rita tell them that after coke-mohobbat.com..

..we aren't accepting sponsorships..

..for anything less than five hundred thousand dollars.

Right. - If they agree, great, or else ask them too.

Because Rita, our little dotcom, is no more little.

We are heading for big times, darling. - Ok. - Alright.

[Raj] 'Sorry for going to India without telling you.'

'Lalit will tell you why.'

'Sorry pal, I had to.'

'I am really sorry.'

'It's pointless telling you that we miss you. We keep talking about you.'

'Just today I was telling Isha and Avantika..'

'..about the incident in your college..'

'..when Shalini and I were visiting you.'

'You had just been awarded..'

'..the trophy for the best student in the college.'

'You sidetracked Lalit and Nalini, and headed straight for me.'

'You forgot your parents and you touched Shalini's feet.'

'Lalit was so jealous! I remember.'

'And it made Shalini twice as happy.'

'With memories like these, we're trying to settle down to our new lives.'

'Isha will have to go to London to complete her education.'

'Take care of yourself, Ronit.'

'Your best friend, Uncle Raj.'

[Sanskrit mantras]

New York, Mr. Black.

Morton Stanley. Excuse me, sir. Excuse me.

Our shares were down till yesterday, not today. Just watch..

..by next Monday, they're going to peak. Yes, we're praying..

..to the Goddess of Fortune. Now she will grace my home.

Good morning, sir. - Hi.

Inform Enam Mutual Funds. Yes. - Thanks. - Oh yes!

Join us for the prayers.

Sorry, mom. Sorry, dad.

Your uncle is very angry. Come, say the prayer.

An artiste! That's what your son is.

Doesn't he know how important it is to propitiate?

How could I? Till last year you were trying to..

..propitiate the Goddess Vaishno Devi.

[Laughs] - Worship didn't bear fruit. Therefore the change.

Baub! - [Clears throat]

The pundits say he fell foul of the Goddess of Fortunes last year..

..with the worship, she will be placated.

Dear, the Goddess has been invoked. Seek and you shall be given.

Really? - Seek, and then watch.

Do I seek it aloud?

[Laughs] As you wish.

Oh Goddess of Fortune, you are the Mother of..

..he mighty, the lowly, the rich, the poor. They are all devoted to You.

Millions of India's poor worship you.

Why do You not go there to eradicate their poverty?

Here, we are all so rich. What use is your staying here?

Oh Mother, desert the rich, go to the poor.

All of India awaits thee.

Sorry, Mother. Actually we're all fine here. Quite fine.

All we need are your blessings.

Ma, I'm going to call Uncle Raj. Carry on with the prayers.

Did you hear your son's insolence?

That's the result of not keeping children on a tight leash.

Brother, it is really too bad. Just too bad.

Ronit.

You should be ashamed! Such insolence! - Because I spoke the truth?

God isn't meant to be propitiated for our own purpose.

A prayer should be heartfelt.

Where to, now? - To Uncle Raj's.

He is your friend, but I know his pain.

Just think. After all the years abroad..

..sheer agony drove him home.

If we don't share his sorrow, who will?

I understand, son. - Thanks.

I will be here, dad.

Nalini, who gave birth to Ronit? You or Shalini?

Oh, brother-in-law!

Children, your mother always said that after all of you were married..

..she wanted us to retire and come to live in India, in this farm house.

You left me all alone..

..telling me to not just be their father but their friend.

Mother was 500% correct.

Father, when did you meet for the first time?

Who said I love you first? Mom or you?

Please tell me. - I did.

All right. Now tell us when mother said I love you for the first time.

Now you are crossing the limit.

You claim to want to be our papa and friend, but look at you now!

So will you tell me if you fall in love?

What love are you talking about, father?

I will slap anyone who does that.

You should directly get married and leave for your in-laws' house.

That's not fair, Isha.

Father means that if something like that were to happen..

..then we tell father first.

That's fair. That is all right.

Very good, children. Very good.

So today, on our anniversary..

..all of us will become friends and make a pact.

An agreement. - Agreement?

What agreement? - We don't understand.

There is no need to get anxious.

I just want to say that someday, somewhere..

..a boy you want to marry will surely come into your lives.

So what's wrong with that? - When did I say it was wrong?

I said you I have every right to get married. And I will agree to it.

Wow! - But remember something.

I have every right to choose the family of that boy.

Will you give me this right?

Why, father?

Child, you are so innocent.

When you get married it's not only the boy..

..but his whole family that you accept as your own.

The whole family. Right, children?

You are right, father. We accept your condition.

Right? - I think it is fair.

So, my children. Today all the four friends will make a promise..

..to openly share our feelings. - Yes.

We will be a united family.

Promise. - Promise. - Promise, father.

Children. Thank you, my children.

Happiness. Forever!

Now child, go quickly and bring all the sweets and snacks. - No.

Why? - No sweets and snacks. First you have to sing a song. - Yes, yes.

Which song? - The same favourite song.

Ok. Ok. Come on, ready? - Yes. - One, two, three.

[Strums Guitar]

"There are songs and complaints."

"There are tales and words."

[Music]

"Words are forgotten."

"Memories return."

Oh my God, it's Ronit! - "Words are forgotten."

"Memories return."

"Memories. Memories."

How are you? - Avantika.

Hey Sanya!

You have been bad, uncle Raj. - How?

You left me alone and came to India.

See, I am a true friend. I have come. - I knew you would.

And you, Sanya, idiot.

You come to India, you forget! Not even a phone call?

Sorry, friend. - And that Isha. Where is she? Isha.

Hey! Friend. - Uncle Raj. - How are you?

Isha! Isha! Where are you?

Isha! Where is she? Isha.

Stupid, remember me?

All forgotten.

Our memories, coke-mohobbat.com..

..the whole world has turned into a dotcom, which draws..

..Indians in every corner of the world closer.

Really? - Rubbish. - That's it.

Those who don't want to fall in love, can get married straightaway.

How come? - Take yourself. Assuming we are to choose..

..a handsome boy, worthy of you..

Our "Shaadi.Com" can tell you where..

..and how to find the most suitable boy.

Right, boys? - Right?

Now you get to the point! Tell us.

Computer, advise us where to find..

..a suitable, handsome boy, the right match for Avantika.

Here you are.

You are lucky, Avantika. 3 eligible boys.

You have a choice.

I like all three.

Let's get all three married off. It's solved. Right?

Wrong.

The boy in the middle is Pankaj. Pankaj Kudesia. I know him.

How? - We studied together in London.

Presently, he's a vice president with Hotel Surya in Delhi.

He was in London, but he stayed Indian.

And this is the best thing about him.

Well Avantika? - I don't know.

There's a boy for Sanya too. Take a look.

Wow! Tom Cruise.

Tom Cruise.

No, no, no. I don't like film stars.

[Laughs]

Find someone for our Isha too.

Yes. Of course. Just a minute.

Scan Isha's snap into the computer.

Here we go.

Wait. An eligible man for Isha.

Found.

[Laughs]

What is this?

It's not my fault. What did I do?

Come here. Get it. - I am gone. - Stop.

Your mom used to always complain. Ties are always a hassle.

Talk to the groom's people clearly, openly.

You know Isha, I can't make small talk.

What little pluck I have is because I have Ronit with me. Otherwise..

What can Ronit do? He's a baby. The elder people talk to each other.

Stop depending on him. - But I..

No ifs and buts.

Be bold and brave. - Ok.

Mr. Raj for me, Ronit is like my son Pankaj.

Ronit has told us everything about Avantika. All I wanted..

..was to meet you. Now we've met. - Me too. Exactly what I wanted.

What I wanted, Ronit.. - What he wanted was to meet you.

And ask you, you know, wedding matters.

If you have any conditions, demands.

Exactly! Whatever it is, be sure to ask. I'll fulfill everything.

Look, Mr. Raj. Decent parents..

..a good girl and a simple wedding are my 3 conditions.

Nothing more. - Yes, and don't worry.

Avantika won't face the slightest hardship with us.

That's exactly what I meant.

Well, have I been talking too much?

Not a question of excess.

All I've been trying to tell him is to make a clean breast.

One colour, you know. Differing shades create problems..

Black or white. If it's black, let it be black, completely.

If it's white, let it be all white. But some people will ruin..

..the best of situations, trying to mix black with white.

That's where the confusion arises, and confusion creates problems.

And for every problem, finding a solution is tough.

With good company, a solution is found.

One must be alert. Not that there's any problem..

[Laughs]

Babulal is on the line. - Excuse me.

Dear, how about tea or something? It's been quite a while.

No. Thank you. Thank you.

How long have you been working here?

Uncle Khanna isn't a servant.

He's Daddy's friend of 35 years. He owns a golf club.

[Laughs]

Oh, sorry. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I am really very sorry.

Please, as good as a servant.

Being friends with Mohanlal is just like being a servant.

[Laughs]

Enough! Let me leave before another faux pas.

And look at the little master staring me down.

[Laughs]

Because of your cross-matched socks!

I am telling you, he is such a simple man.

And Avantika is also so simple. You will love her. I Know.

[Music]

"Tell me, Oh Tell me "What riddle is this friend?"

"Why are such strange things happening?"

"Tell me, Oh Tell me "What riddle is this friend?"

"Why are such strange things happening?"

"My restlessness..."

"My restlessness, my loneliness."

"In my restlessness I am so lonely."

"Tell me, Oh Tell me "What riddle is this friend?"

"Why are such strange things happening?"

"Tell me, Oh Tell me "What riddle is this friend?"

"Why are such strange things happening?"

[Music]

"What strange breeze blows this year?"

"Try as much as I will, but my feet are unsteady."

"Why do these thoughts cross my heart...?"

"When I see my friends wearing the henna...?"

"Makes me wish I could wear it too."

"Tell me, Oh Tell me "What riddle is this friend?"

"Why are such strange things happening?"

[Music]

"The days are too short, these nights too long."

"Before the monsoons it has begun raining."

"In my dreams I have met someone."

"Go away! Don't teach me these strange things."

"The two of you have harassed me."

"Tell me, Oh Tell me "What riddle is this friend?"

"Why are such strange things happening?"

[Music]

"Oh look, this is no picture, this is a message."

"From far away, someone sends you greetings."

"He's handsome, he has a cute name."

"And good friends bring hearts close."

"One of you is to be a bride."

"Tell me, Oh tell me "What riddle is this?"

"Why are such strange things happening?"

"Tell me, Oh Tell me "What riddle is this friend?"

"Why are such strange things happening?"

[Music]

Ronit!

Ronit!

Ronit!

Ronit!

Ronit!

Madam, cyclist. Cycles have brakes, you know.

What nonsense! Off to London without a bye.

But I met everyone. - Except me, idiot.

Didn't think it necessary. Idiot, you were busy working out

I would've missed my plane. Hey, did you miss me?

Not at all!

On the day of the wedding, Papa gave me a gift for you

I forgot about it.

Sorry. Here's your message.

Your gift. From Papa. Not from me. - From Papa?

You can put it on, can't you? - Of course.

Cool!

I've seen two nice boys on my "shaadi.Com"

One for Sanya, one for you.

For me?

Don't play this game with me.

Why? - I don't want to get married.

Until when? - Until college is over.

And afterwards? - I'll do whatever Papa says.

Arranged or love marriage? - I don't believe in love.

I know. But why?

Romance is silly. Like in a movie.

In real life, love's an entertainment package that comes with youth.

When girls like you fall in love, great love stories are made.

Girls like me only make history, not love stories.

Remember, there will come the day..

..when a handsome young man will move you to tears.

That day, your love story begins.

Thanks for the watch. Bye.

Stupid.

This is pre-destined.

I ask you, who is this boy? Who is he?

Papa, he's Sukant. I've known him for a year. He lives in Delhi.

And I'm in love with him.

But I've seen him with ruffians, outside our house in London.

Yes Papa, but Sukant has a good heart.

Besides, we've decided to get married.

Oh I see. So the decision has been taken?

So why am I needed? Right?

Papa, it is my life, after all.

I should at least have the right to choose my husband.

My life is my life.

Yes. Your life is your life.

Oh! Love-romance.com?

Shut up, Isha!

You shut up. Nonsense. - Such a pain!

Look, you daughter loves our son.

And our son loves us both.

He is our only son.

He has returned after completing his education in London.

What do I tell you, sir?

Many proposals came for our son. But we turn them all down.

Actually in this case, the children are in love.

How can we crush their love?

Our son is a gem. Gem.

Your daughter is also very pretty. She looks prettier in clothes.

[Laughs]

Mother, please. Don't talk too much.

I am not talking too much. It is a question of marriage.

We should talk openly.

Right, Raj? - Yes. I want you to talk to me openly.

All right. [Laughs]

Brother, we are not greedy for dowry.

You can give your daughter whatever you choose.

We have no objection. We have no objection.

We don't want these suits and clothes.

But the wedding must take place in a 5 star hotel. Hotel Surya.

[Laughs]

We have status that we want to maintain.

And the relationship is not just of marriage.

This relationship continues after marriage.

The real relationship begins after marriage.

We visit each other. [Laughs]

Brother, we are not greedy. We are not greedy.

Uncle, you have not eaten anything. - No, son.

I don't feel like eating. I am in a hurry.

That's it. - Great.

I don't understand. Am I marrying Sukant or his family?

I have explained this to you time and again.

After marriage your name will neither be Mehbooba nor Mrs. Sukant.

After marriage, the girl is given many names in the in-laws' house.

Daughter-in-law, aunt, etc.

And you have to fulfill your duty towards those relationships.

His family is not worthy of you.

You don't want me to be happy.

I understood. But I have my decision. That's it.

Then listen to my decision.

No means no!

Did you see that? Did you? I will never allow this.

I will never allow this. - Papa.

Papa!

Isha. - Avantika.

I heard everything. I will try to talk to her.

She is so stupid, friend.

It is a big problem for a father to convince her daughters.

What are you saying? Get out. Get out. Get out from here.

Where do they come from?

Leave me alone! I don't want to live!

Why are you crying? - Sanya doused herself with kerosene.

She's trying to set herself a fire!

Leave me alone! Let me die! I want to go to my mother!

Have you gone out of your mind? Forget yourself, think of us.

Think of Papa! Do you know what you're doing?

Does anyone care about me? I don't want to live.

Sanya! You've gone crazy? - Yes! I'm crazy!

Leave her alone.

Sanya, what is the matter? - [Crying]

You aren't my Papa! - Sure, I'm not.

You aren't! - No, I'm not. Come here, and listen to me.

Calm down. Relax. Come and listen to me. Listen to me, child.

Listen to me, child.

I tried to make you see reason, but you won't see reason.

It will be as you want.

You're going to marry the man you want. Ok

Sukant. - Yes, Sukant but remember one thing.

The future of this marriage is solely your responsibility.

Done. - I'll manage. - Ok.

Avantika, Isha, let's prepare for the wedding? Ok.

[Sanskrit mantras]

[Clapping]

Cheers!

Delhi folks with a heart..

Salaams from the heart. - Salaams.

So finally, today, Sanya and Sukant's love triumphs.

Right? - Right.

What a thing, love is!

At sometime or the other, somewhere or the other..

..everyone without exception has fallen in love.

Some loves have been consummated, some have gone unrequited.

But love lives on.

Right? - Right.

In the name of love..

..we the youngsters, have decided that tonight's song..

..isn't mine. I'm not singing.

Uncle Raj will sing. - Yes!

[Clapping]

Amazed, Uncle Raj?

Come on. Be a sport. - No, no.

"..return once they're gone."

[Cell phone rings]

Hello. Avantika.

How are you, child? - Fine, papa!

What are you doing? How's Isha?

Isha is away in Malaysia, for a cycle race. - You know, Papa..

..in London, Uncle Ranbir Rai has been named..

..best businessman of the year. It was on TV. - Really?

[Applause]

Thank you. Thank you very much for giving me this award.

Congratulations, brother. Congratulations.

Thank you. - Congratulations, sister-in-law. - Thank you.

Congratulations Mr. Rai. - Thank you. - Congratulations.

Thanks. - Congratulations.

Malhotra, you're wonderful! - How come?

No sooner than I get the award, you throw me a party!

I gave you my hand in friendship, never to let go.

You haven't sampled my friendship yet. - [Laughs]

Raj keeps praising you to the skies. - Raj is like a son.

I've known him since he was a baby.

We couldn't attend his daughter's wedding.

You know, business matters. - I know..

Monishka hasn't come? - There she is, with your son.

American Indians and British Indians.

I keep visiting your cdguru. Com

Interesting.

There are more dotcoms. dosti.com, mohobbat.com, shaadi.com.

Right from friendship to love? - And from love to marriage.

Marriage? How boring!

[Laughs]

Interesting. Interesting. I like it. - So are you.

What does the pair look like? - Great.

What's the program for tomorrow evening?

Tomorrow, I'm flying to Malaysia.

To cover the Asian Cycle Race. - Cycle race?

Yes, big race.

Here we are guys.

Welcome to Bicycle Championship.

Wow!

Isha is here too? - I know.

But she doesn't know I'm here. - But sir, where's she?

Son, you can't even see her. Only I can see her.

Today's the first day of the Asian Cycle Race.

Companies from 21 countries have sent their best racers here.

Sunday, the biggest day of this event will see..

..Preeti Sawhney of Dubai (UAE) participating.

She is an Indian, and she has won this race the last two times..

..consecutively. This year too there seems to be no competition for her.

2 words for our dotcom, please. - Please.

I am grateful to God and to my parents, who brought me up..

..and made me the winner I am. Preeti Sawhney greets you all.

Thank you very much. This was Preeti Sawhney.

Now we will introduce you to Isha Puri of London.

Excuse me, miss. Where are you from? - England.

Where from originally? - India..

Your name? - Isha.

Your goal?

Always number one. - You have a boyfriend?

Never! - You don't believe in love?

Not at all. - Is there someone who loves you?

Are you crazy? - No.

Ronit! - Finally. How are you, Isha?

Trying to make a fool out of me? - And make a fool out of a fool?

A love from childhood. - Mandy, would you shut up?

I didn't expect to see you here. - I managed to get here somehow.

I knew you'd be here. - Papa must've told you.

Also true. But you had to be here, you're the cycle-event star.

I'm just a small-time reporter here.

Look Ronit, no offense, but I'd like to be independent here.

Far from the world, far from home. - And far from me?

Maybe, yes. - Yes?

So in this event, you and I...

Strangers. - Right! Stranger!

Ok. Whatever you want? Done.

Come on, only an hour to go before the heats.

Bye. - Bye.

Guess, who this girl is? I bet you can guess.

Wait, wait, wait.

Soft fingers. Warm hands..

..and solid wrists. You can be only one, one person.

World number one Preeti Sawhney.

Got you. - You guessed it. - How are you, baby?

Look.

Preeti, you are the best. - I stopped rehearsal to hear that compliment.

If you said I'm the best, I'll become the best.

Now the race starts!

Preeti, I like your nature. - I like everything about you.

Pass-Pass. Want some?

Oh, yes of course, Pass-Pass.

Look, plying him with Pass-Pass to get closer to him.

My belt is a bit too tight.

So you want me to. - Yes.

Ok.

Look! Undoing her belt.

Just a minute. Almost there.

How will I win tomorrow's race?

Preeti, remember baby. You are the best.

You better believe it. - Ok. Thank you.

That's more like it. All right.

[Laughs]

Sanya. - Papa. - What happened?

Papa. I don't want to be with Sukant. [Crying]

That is not a house but hell.

His mother ill treats me.

His father curses me day and night.

Sukant is passive.

They are very bad people.

I've decided I want a divorce.

You were right. I'm so sorry!

Love is nonsense.

Isha was right.

[Crying]

You go and relax, it's your home.

Come on. Come, child. Take rest.

Come on!

Go.

Miss Preeti Sawhney is on her way at full throttle.

Everyone's eyes and hopes are on Preeti Sawhney.

Preeti Sawhney, world number one.

First time in the competition is..

Preeti Sawhney is in the lead with vigour and control.

And Isha Puri is behind her, trying her best.

Can she do it again? Preeti Sawhney, world number one.

You are the best. Come on.

Her face is red and she looks exhausted..

But Preeti is our favourite.

Come on, Preeti. Come on.

This bicycle race is between 2 girls.

Isha Puri and world number one Preeti Sawhney.

Yes, baby.

The heroine of Hero Cycles, Miss Isha Puri has..

..won the Asian Bicycle Championship.

Yeah!

[Applause]

Hi. Hi, Isha. Congrats. - Thank you.

I've got to tell you. You were great.

It is easier to win if the heart is jealous. Well done.

Did you hear her dialogue? - After all she is an actress.

Isha, a few words for our dotcom?

Yes. I don't want to thank anyone right now.

I have won because of my determination and persistence.

And by God's grace.

No one deserves the credit for this.

And these TV, website reporters tell you half truths and half lies.

Please don't trust them. Thank you.

Please. - Congratulations.

But winners shouldn't be so arrogant.

So should the losers be arrogant?

You know Isha, modesty is something I don't think you can never..

Go to your "Pass-Pass" friend.

All right. So that's the problem. You know it was just a joke.

Look, Mr. Stranger. I want to make one thing very clear.

I am going to Tuba-island with my group.

There is no need to come there with me. Come on, Pinky.

Ronit, Tuba Island. Dangerous animals reside there.

It is a very dangerous place. Stop her. - Yes.

[Screams]

Stop. Stop. Isha has been left behind. Please stop. Stop.

Stop the boat. Stop.

Isha is on Tuba Island! In trouble!

Her friends deserted her and.. - What else?

Isha!

Isha!

[Engine stalling]

Did you hear anything?

How can I know? Because of your heroine, the hero is stuck.

Even the mobile doesn't work here.

[Pulse monitor beeping]

Things are under control. Let's watch. - Ok.

Last night, the doctor said Ronit isn't going to survive.

I must see him. - Don't be stupid, you aren't supposed to get up.

You may not care about him, but what he did was unimaginable, Isha

Sister, how is Ronit? - He is out of danger now.

Hey! You can't go. - Isha.

Remember what I said? One day, there will be tears in your eyes.

What is this?

Let go.

Let go of my hand.

Look, uncle. I told Sanya at the outset, that..

..my mother is very hot tempered.

And says anything that comes to mind.

And Sanya can't stop herself from retorting.

Whatever I said was right. Your mom is brash. - Sanya.

Papa, I don't want to live in that house.

Look, uncle. I am unnecessarily middle between wife and mother.

Sukant has come to take Sanya back.

Uncle, I will arrange for a house as soon as I get the job.

I can't stay in the same house with his mother. That's it.

Sanya! What nonsense! - It is not done, Sanya.

Look, son. I understand everything.

Wait for a few days.

It was your choice to get married.

You will have to resolve it yourself.

"Someone bans while someone bows in front of love."

"Someone bans while someone bows in front of love."

Lies! All a lie.

Lies, everything! Friendship, love, romance, all a lie.

All deception! What a mistake I made, conceding! You lied to me.

A father can never be his daughter's friend, never.

I wish I had not listened to Sanya.

Damn this love! My life is my life.

Avantika, Sanya!

Papa!

I am in love!

I am in love!

Papa, everyone is in Udaipur and you are still here.

It is so late. You should leave now.

It is your best friend's silver jubilee.

Isha and Ronit have arranged for a grand show and..

But... - No ifs and buts.

I know you are worried about Sanya.

I will handle her.

Please. Don't tell anyone about Sanya. Not even Isha.

Why spoil the mood?

All the VIPs of the world have gathered there.

Just go and celebrate, papa. Don't worry. We are here.

Just enjoy yourself.

[Laughs]

That's not the case, Miss Nalini. Rajasthan, Udaipur is our village

But I don't understand one thing. In spite of being in England..

..why did you choose the Maharaja's Palace for the fancy dress party?

It is our son Ronit's idea.

This whole arrangement, this fancy dress party, this celebration..

..has been organized by Ronit and Isha.

But you have not introduced me to Ronit.

Yes. Where is Ronit? Call Ronit.

Ronit!

Ronit, don't force me to dance at the party. I don't know how to.

Who else is going to dance with me? - Latch on to some butterfly.

Lots of them flying about. You love flattering them, don't you? Do that.

What are you staring at? - Your eyes.

Just keep sitting.

Ever since we opened our eyes, we've been friends.

And today we're lovers.

Tomorrow. - Tomorrow?

Just you and I, together. - Just us?

Just us. - Yes, just us.

[Raj] Ronit! Where are you? - Papa.

[Raj] Your friend has come. - Go to Papa.

Okay, I'm off.

You'll talk to Papa, won't you?

About what? - You don't know?

Oh yes! I'll tell him, get Isha married fast.

If she falls in love with someone, it could be a problem. Right?

Uncle Raj. - Ronit.

Ronit.

Welcome to Udaypur!

You're late, but I forgive you.

Thank you. Thank you very much. - It's okay.

I'd like to tell you something, before someone else does.

Me first. - First listen to me.

Me first. - Me!

Me! Thrice over, and it's me.

Listen my friend, Sanya married her lover.

Now she's back home. She wants a divorce.

She can't put up with his family.

Such is what comes of love, my friend.

This love-story love affair business.

Do you remember, uncle Raj

I know! I have to be happy, smile, and sing.

Avantika says..

"Don't go there with a sad face. Keep smiling, stay with Ronit"

And after all, it's my friend's silver jubilee, my friend..

I should sing, dance.

LN. - Raj. - LN, my friend.

Congrats on your silver jubilee. - Thanks.

Happy anniversary, my boy. Happy anniversary, sister-in-law. - Thanks.

That's enough. - I'm here to enjoy myself!

We are going to roll and rock!

Bye. See you later.

Sorry. I am sorry. - Hi!

You?

We met at the award function..

Right. Right. Of course.

How can I forget you?

I must say... I must say that you are very big bat.

What's that? - You are unforgettable.

Back in America, whenever I was on the computer

I would always log onto cdcor.com. - Oh, right, right!

I've memorized all your dotcoms, all your catch lines. - Thank you.

Thank you. - mohabbat.com, dosti.com. - Right, right.

Ronit, Isha is refusing to dance!

We need at least one lead girl.

Isha has ditched us at the last moment.

Isha is our dance partner. - What do we do now?

Would you be my dancing partner?

Me? I don't expose myself.

Not in a party like this.

For us, do it, please?

Come on, madam. This is youngster's fancy dress party. Help us out.

Madam. Come on, madam. Please.

Do it, for me.

For you, dotcom.

Ladies and Gentlemen: From Buckingham Palace..

[Music]

My brother, Ronit, everyone is gone. Today I'm leaving for London too.

I've heard about Sanya. What happened is awful.

But my brother has some good advice.

He says we can help Sukant get a nice job in a friend's firm in Dubai.

Sukant can send home a good amount every month for his greedy parents.

They'll be happy. Sanya will be happy too.

Brother is great.. how indebted I am to your family.

Not at all, Raj. Not at all.

Yesterday, my brother had another thing to say too. Quite strange.

What? - That Ronit should marry Monishka.

Ronit marry Monishka?

He hasn't completed his education. He must go places.

But Raj, Ronit likes Monishka.

What? - Yes.

Didn't you watch them at yesterday's party?

How he held her hand, how he drew her close while dancing?

Yes.

[Laughs] - Yes, oh yes!

Stupid of me, not to have noticed all this.

You are absolutely right. - And Raj..

My brother is very, very interested.

So what's the problem? - Why don't you bring up the topic?

So what do you think of this alliance?

What do you think of your daughter's airs?

Twenty-one proposals and madam likes none!

For the first time..

..she says "not-bad" about Ronit.

Not bad! She's your daughter after all.

I say, let's agree to Raj's proposition

Or she'll end up an old unmarried maid.

I like Ronit too. He'll handle Monishka well.

In that case you should see Raj.

Mr. Rai has come.

Tell Malhotra that I accept his proposition.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much, Mr. Rai.

We've known you for many more years than..

..we've known Ronit and the Malhotra.

We're giving our daughter away because we trust you.

Thank you, brother. Hail Goddess.

Lalit, congratulations.

Everything went off first class!

What are you saying? - Yes! - Really?

I'm coming to London day after tomorrow.

But remember not to tell Ronit anything until I'm there. Ok.

Don't worry. I will not tell him. Ok. Ok. Bye.

Papa, where are you? - At the airport?

We're in Thorpe Park. - I'm coming.

Come fast. - I'm just coming.

I love you. - I love you, child.

I have news for you! I've got something to tell you!

I have news for you! I've got something to tell you!

But we have the most exciting news to tell you! - I got news!

Me first. - Me first!

Uncle Raj, me first! - Me first. - Uncle Raj!

Thrice over. Overruled. - I defy you, uncle Raj

What do you mean by 'you defy'? Who is the father?

Who is the friend? - Both.

Both are friends, right. - I agree. Go ahead.

Ok. - Ronit, Isha. Come on.

Uncle, Raj. - Yes.

My company has a policy. - What?

Special messages are sent in style.

Like in this case.

What is this? - Read on.

We'll be back. And then we will take your blessings.

My blessings. - Come, Isha. Guys, let's go. Let's go.

On day one, I was refused.

On day two, she agreed.

On day three, she said I love you.

I love you.

We want to get married! We want to get married!

Where has Papa gone?

Uncle Raj!

Uncle Raj!

He just drove away. - Where did he go?

He drove away in the car.

Hey! Natasha.

He left the cards.

[Chuckles]

Initial shock. It was bound to happen. After all he is a father.

Now he's going to ask me a million questions, then he'll say okay.

You love each other. I love you. So it's okay. You know.

But he.. - Isha, don't worry.

I'm here to take care of everything. Ok.

[Cell phone rings]

Hello. - Ronit.

Yeah, Stephen. - Mr. Hudson has arrived from Scotland.

We saw our presentation. - Is it done?

Everything's set. We are waiting for you. Come soon.

I will be there as soon as we can. Yes. Bye.

Isha, I have to get to the office.

An important client has arrived. It is important to meet him.

I might be away for three or four days.

Now you don't worry, friend. Our case is very simple!

No problems at all. Do you love me?

Do you trust me?

Later. Miss me! Bye-bye!

[Casio playing]

Ronit was right.

'Your Papa is going to be happy, but he'll take his time.'

To tell you the truth, I've known Ronit ever since I was a kid.

For the first time, I got to know him.

Says, if he wasn't born rich..

..he'd have a small, ramshackle house..

..and it'd be lovely.

Fights, patch-ups, hope, despair, life lived moment by moment.

Having everything is so boring, isn't it Papa?

Oh yes, it was he who proposed to me, not I.

So now we like the boy and the boy's family too.

You know Sanya is back home

She wants a divorce from Sukant. Divorce.

If you want my answer in a word..

..then it's no.

You and Ronit never.

Papa. - No!

No.

Avantika?

Papa!

Thanks be to Allah, he has survived.

I keep tell him, London streets..

..aren't roads in Punjab, don't amble about.

Is this any way to express anger?

I don't like this approach one bit.

Those who shy away from responsibilities behave like this.

What was this? Some crisis?

Ronit just cracked a joke using his corporate greeting cards.

I just went along with him to see what your reaction would be.

And I've seen it!

You run amok in traffic like a kid!

If you're angry, why not take it out on me? Why on yourself?

My dear, papa, friend.

There's nothing of the sort between Ronit and myself..

It was only a bit of fun and games in Bangkok, you know how it is?

Why are you getting so serious? There was nothing.

Look at these keys..

..remember what mother used to say?

Make friends. Trust friends in family.

And happiness forever.

Papa.

You are lying?

Lying to your Papa?

I've seen through your lie.

Oh how will you go through life with the pain I inflict?

You love your Papa very much, don't you?

Think, what would happen to us if something happened to you?

What would become of us? Where would have we gone?

Understand one thing, my child.

They're high class.

You can't make a home with that family.

They're my friends. I know what their intentions are.

I went to Mr. Rai seeking..

..Monishka's hand for Ronit.

That's fine. Monishka is right for Ronit.

She is good for Ronit.

Good or bad, I really don't know.

But I'm with you, Papa. I swear by Mummy.

I swear by you.

I love you. I love you.

But first you must promise..

..never to create a scene like this ever again.

[Door bell rings]

I'll take that.

Look how she's conning me.

Papa, look who's here. - Who is it, child?

Avantika.

Greetings. - God bless you.

What have you done Papa?

Why did you have to tell everyone?

Why? Am I not your daughter? - Yes, but

You're not to date with the latest!

See who's here with us. - Who?

Sanya! - Sanya?

Papa! - Sanya!

Sukant. - Now don't look so shocked.

Uncle JKM sent us tickets to London and called us over.

He gave us an appointment letter for his Dubai office dated Nov 1st.

So we leave for Dubai, on the 30th.

God be praised!

I am so happy to see you together.

Uncle Lalit on the phone for you.

Yes Lalit, they're here.

Yes, I'm coming and so is Isha.

Yeah, I'll talk to Ronit. Of course.

Don't worry. Don't worry.

[Conch blows]

Hail Bholenath!

All the Gods and Goddesses have been kind to us.

But ever since Lord Shiva entered our house..

..our shares have been soaring.

And you visit us on a Monday..

..Lord Shiva's auspicious day.

[Laughs]

Where's Ronit? - Ronit.

Getting dressed.

He has just returned after a two-day visit to Scotland.

Answer my one question, Uncle Raj!

Are you doing the right thing?

Is it reasonable? I have no right to choose my life partner?

I don't accept.

Anyone who tries to force me into it, is an enemy, not a friend.

Not your enemy and not my friend.

My friend, it was a friend of yours who finalized this match.

I did it. Am I your enemy?

I don't mean that. How do I explain to you? - Look son..

..the family, the background, matter when it comes to marriage.

You know that. Everything has to be considered.

What matters are matters of the heart.

Cut out my heart and see for yourself any other name is written on it.

Stop this. Give me that.

Stop this nonsense.

I don't even want to hear another name.

You must hear that name, Uncle Raj.

Look, son. Ronit.

Ronit. I've never asked you for anything.

Today, I want a promise.

Before your parents, before your uncle, you will not create a scene.

I bind you with mine and Shalini's oath.

"The millet seeds."

"The millet seeds are dispersed in the streets."

"My beloved is upset with me."

"And leaving me. Bring him back."

"The millet seeds."

"The millet seeds are dispersed in the streets."

"My beloved is upset with me."

"And leaving me. Bring him back."

"The millet seeds."

Congratulations, JKM. Congratulations.

Congratulations. - Congratulations.

We've finished with the priests.

Now get up, meet people.

Isha, show her around. Go. Enjoy.

What a choice for Ronit!

Yes. - The Rai family is one of the top ten families in America.

Stop this business talk! How about lunch? I'm so hungry.

This is the happiest day of my life, and it's all because of you.

I am obliged to you.

Raj, if the Malhotra's and Rai's merge, we'll be market leaders.

Watch our shares soar.

Ronit. Congratulations.

Thank you. - Hi Ronit!

I like your house, your family, the atmosphere..

..and particularly this interior decoration.

And Ronit? - I'm not about to tell you that.

That's our secret.

Of course.

Let me show you to your bedroom. Come on.

This jacket looks great on you.

Bye.

Raj, we're giving our daughter away on your say-so.

Monishka is like a daughter to me too.

I will keep my word.

Cheers. - Cheers.

Monishka, I have to be at the gym at four.

I'll call you later. Then we can go out.

Which is the best disco hereabouts?

Ronit knows about discos. Ask him.

Where's Ronit?

Should be somewhere around. Take a look.

Bye. - Bye.

It's chilly. Put it on.

What the hell do you think of yourself?

What is all this melodrama? You people are making a fool out of me!

But I am not going to fall for this. You understand?

Do you understand?

First put that jacket on, then.. - I won't.

Okay, first cool down. Then we'll talk.

I am. I am cool.

Go on, tell me.

Do you love me?

I hate you. I hate you right now.

Never mind that, just put the jacket on. Let me help you into it.

Look Ronit..

..give me a patient hearing.

In life, there are times..

..when young hearts are swayed..

..when they fall in love, when they romance..

..without giving a damn about the consequences.

They begin to believe that these romantic..

.. fairy-tale moments are reality.

Something like that happened to us.

It was the right season, the right atmosphere, the right time.

For a while we forgot who we were.

So you never were in love?

Was that an infatuation?

You were just swayed?

Ronit you know that..

..for me, such romances are entertainment package..

..influenced by films.

So you were entertaining me. You still are.

Ronit! - Look at me

Look at me and tell me that you don't love me.

I love you, I love you very much, I did ever since my childhood

But only as a friend would, like a pal.

Like a friend only?

That's it? - That's it!

Is it? - Yes, that's it.

Look at that house, this is reality.

Your Papa, my Papa, and there's Monishka.

She is a very nice girl.

I'm telling you, she's a great girl.

Isha!

And you. Take good care of yourself.

And yes, I'm your best friend,

Come Isha. - I'll always be.

Promise. Bye.

Isha did the right thing, Ronit.

I know your story.

She says she doesn't love me.

Whom do I fight?

How do I fight, if she's..

..she's the one lying?

But one day, she will admit the truth, and she's going to cry.

Ronit. - It's okay.

All right, yes it's true, she is my best friend.

Best friend!

[Chuckles]

Now I'm going to do exactly what she wants.

Now I am going to be her best friend.

Her best friend.

Ronit. - Hey, Monishka.

Baby. Where were you, darling?

I missed you so much.

Don't leave me like this because I miss that beautiful face.

[Music]

"In hearts.."

"as it happens in the world of hearts.."

"they smile while their hearts weep"

"Hearts.."

"no one knows, no one admits"

"But don't let anyone know where it aches secretly"

"It happens in the world of hearts."

"They smile while their hearts weep."

[Music]

"You have betrayed me"

"Will you ever find loyalty?"

"You have pained me"

"How can your pain heal?"

"Desires rage in my bosom.."

"like storms rising in sea"

"Sometimes it's the sailor who drown his own boat"

"In the world of hearts, it happens"

"We smile, while our hearts weep"

[Music]

What angle is that? - Triangle.

Excuse me. That's Rohit's bedroom.

Stay here. I'll be back after I see him. You wait here.

[Cell phone rings]

Hello. - [Raj] Hello. Isha! Where are you?

At Ronit's place

I was just knotting my tie, and I remembered you. Where's Ronit?

Inside. - I'm going to Mr. Rai's.

Papa, I'll talk to you later. - My child..

Wow!

Like this, Ronit. Ok.

You are so strong, Ronit.

You have beautiful eyes, Ronit.

And for my legs, Ronit.

I love this, Ronit.

Oh, like this Ronit.

[Cell phone rings] - You are such a darling, Ronit.

Thank you, Ronit.

[Crying]

[Cell phone rings]

Avantika! You're in the nick of time!

When someone bottles up her emotions..

..and tries passing up love by saying it's something else..

..then sometime or the other..

..the emotions burst out as tears..

..and the truth tumbles out.

Oh but Isha doesn't love me, and that's true too.

Because even without me, Isha can smile..

..Isha can cry.

But love me, Isha can't.

Because even without me, she can live.

Talk to your sister.

[Crying]

Then why don't you say you love me?

Why don't you say it?

I love you, I love you very much.

When I was in school, I loved you. When I was a kid, I loved you.

And I love you, still.

But you're my friend, aren't you? How can I be your lover?

It's just that I feel like crying at times.

I'm sorry, I broke down. Sorry.

You're supposed to take Monishka to Mr. Mittal's for dinner.

You don't remember a thing.

Go on, I'm leaving.

Sorry.

[Cell phone rings]

Hello. - Where are you guys?

Uncle Raj, where are you?

I've got to talk to you. - I'm seeing Mr. Rai at Harry Club.

Come there. - I will be there. Bye.

Morning. - Hi Dan.

Hi. I want to meet Mr. Ranveer Rai.

I am sorry, sir. This is a private party. Outsiders aren't allowed.

Mr. Ranveer Rai, please.

Do you understand English?

I understand more than that, mate.

Right. - Thank you anyway.

Can I take this?

Uncle Raj. - Ronit.

The manager won't let me in.

I need Mr. Rai to sign these papers and give it to brother Jagdish.

Let me get them signed for you. Stay here, I need to talk to you.

Ok.

Hey, Dan! - Ronit.

How are you doing big guy?

I just need to go in for a minute. - No worry. Just go straight through.

[Music]

Hi, Dan. Buddy, I need a favour. - Sure.

There is a friend of mine..

..who was just here a while ago. - Yes.

He needs to come in. - Ok.

Great. - No, worry.

Uncle Raj. - What happened?

I just spoke to the manager. You can go in.

Should I go alone?

There are big guys partying in there.

I felt a bit intimidated.

Ok.

You sure.

Darling, kiss me.

Oh God.

Nonsense!

[Clapping]

Thank you.

Depraved folks. - One coke and you think straight.

So did you like my in-laws' foreplay?

Such decadence! - I tell you it is absolute nonsense!

So what do you think? - Why are you concerned?

Monishka is entering your family, not the other way around.

Ok. - Mr. Son-in-law.

Ok, Mr. Friend. - Yes.

If that's the case then you got to do me one last favour. - What?

I'm taking Monishka to Radisson Hampshire tonight.

All you have to do is ask my fiancee 3 questions.

3 questions? - So what are your three questions?

Ask her.

My child, here's the first of the 3..

..questions on behalf of the Malhotra family.

After the wedding, will you live with Ronit's parents?

Or your own home? - Of course, my own home.

After the wedding what do parents have to do?

They are nothing but interference.

Right. Right. She is right. I agree with her.

And they better visit only after making an appointment.

Parents too? - Of course. A guest is a guest, uncle.

She is right, uncle Raj.

She's from America. Life out there is so stressful, so busy.

No? - My child, question two is..

..I hear you like late night parties..

..and you come home late?

Nice! So what? No problems.

So even after you're married..

..these late nights will continue? - Of course!

Getting married doesn't mean giving up my friends, my independence.

Right. Correct.

After we're married, she can come and go as she wishes.

I don't mind. Why are you asking these questions?

Why? - Shut up!

My third question is..

..Lalit says that after marriage..

..you should have a little baby, like a blossom.

Excuse me, Mr. Raj. I've already clarified this with Ronit.

I don't want a baby in 4 or 5 years

I don't want to ruin my figure.

But this is part of our culture.

One has duties towards offspring, towards parents.

Ronit! - Give them happiness.

Your uncle seems to belong to some village in the backwaters.

A rural man.

I am a rural man of India.

Any objection? - Yes, I have.

I don't like to have discussions with small fry like you.

I don't think you are anything greater than Malhotra's servant.

Monishka! - I don't care. And I can't take this anymore.

I am really sorry. Please. Please sit down.

Please. Sit down. I will go.

No, uncle Raj. - No, My friend. Sit down.

Sit down. It is my mistake.

I am really very sorry, madam. I am really very sorry.

It is my mistake.

Ronit, I am sorry. I hurt you.

Oh, Monishka, baby. You are mind blowing.

No one ever did what you did today.

I was fed up of these people, but how could I tell them?

That is the reason I love you.

Mrs. Revera from Nastek.

Mr. Mahajan. - Hello, nice to meet you.

Hello.

[Laughs]

Excuse me, Lalit. Sister-in-law. One minute. - Excuse me.

What are you saying Raj? - I don't believe this.

It's true. I proposed this marriage. Now I am trying to break it off.

So what are you trying to break off?

Ronit's engagement to Monishka.

From what I've seen..

..neither the girl nor the family is any good for Ronit.

We're throwing him in a quagmire for the money.

[Chuckles]

Raj, I knew one day your patience would end.

Patience? - Before you came here

I received a call from Rai about what you've seen and..

..what reality is.

They are rich folks, Raj. They have a lifestyle..

They're different.

For a middle-class restaurateur like you..

..this may be amazing!

The girl's ideas aren't compatible with Ronit's.

Only you are opposed to her, Raj.

Didn't I always tell you Lalit..

..to stay clear of this poor friend of yours?

Because someday or the other, he will show you how petty he is.

Sir.

The truth is, Raj and Shalini always had an eye on your son..

..ever since he was a boy.

Ronit was a 50-billion..

..cheque for them.

But he was going to the Rai's.

In the heat of the moment he proposed..

.. that Monishka and Ronit get married.

But it shattered his daughter Isha's dreams.

She had her eyes on Ronit.

Lalit, this was their scheme to break up the..

..engagement, for Isha's benefit.

But now we all know, don't we, Shelley?

100 percent.

Want me to show you some photos for evidence?

Would you like to see Ronit's arms..

.. snaking over Isha's waist and all over?

Were you not my friend Lalit's elder brother?

The man whom I respected as my senior?

And then today and now..

..I would've slapped you so hard in the face that..

..you'd carry my fingerprints all your life.

Raj! - Let me speak, Lalit!

Listen carefully, Jagdish Malhotra..

Isha and Ronit love each other very much, very dearly.

But they have learnt to respect their elders.

And out of that respect, because of me..

..they buried their love and they wiped their tears.

And the photographs you speak of, had they wanted..

..they could've blown them up, and plastered them all over your house.

And then, neither you..

..nor your father could have done - Shut up!

You shut up! - You are crossing the limit, Raj!

I'm heartbroken, heartbroken! Let me have my say Lalit.

He has insulted our friendship. He has insulted my daughter.

I swear by my mother. I swear by Shalini!

Not I, not my daughter will ever enter this house again.

For us, you are dead, dead!

That's it. Finished.

Finished! That's it!

Raj.. - Forget it, man! You turned out to be a coward, Lalit! Coward!

My friend, a coward!

Uncle Raj!

Stop.

[Crying]

What's this Papa? Tears in your eyes? Didn't you console me?

No. - This won't do. Come home

"Loves.."

"grief's.."

"tales.."

"words"

"Words are forgotten"

"Memories return"

"Memories cherished, of beloved ones.."

"return once they're gone."

"Memories."

"Memories."

"Memories."

[Phone rings]

Hello. - Sanya, this is Ronit.

Yes. - Give the phone to Isha.

Isha isn't at home.

And I don't think you should call here.

[Phone rings]

Isha, take the phone.

Face the truth.

Hello. - Listen to me, listen carefully.

This is the guest list. All the VIPs in the world have been invited.

Come Monday, two big corporates are going through a merger.

Scions of two great families will get engaged..

..and the wedding date will be finalized.

Malhotra and Rai will climb to number two from number ten.

Here's your engagement ring.

See if it fits your finger.

Come, son. - Don't call me son, Madam.

Ronit, I am your mother.

Sorry, madam. You aren't my mother, you aren't.

You don't even know that your son has grown up.

Have you seen how long his fingers have grown?

Because you're one of those mothers..

..who never held her son's fingers, never taught your son how to walk.

Ronit. - You've never even taken a close look at your son.

You never looked into my eyes, never tried to understand my anguish.

You aren't a mother at all.

You're just an executive director in this marketplace..

..where relationships and emotions are cheap and expendable.

I'm not staying here..

..I'm not staying here, not in a home without a mother.

Without a father. - Son.

Don't call me son!

I'm your mother. - You are?

Then save me, save your son..

..save your son from the fires that your family wants to throw me into.

Can you save me?

You can't.

You can't save me.

Thank you, madam. Thank you very much.

For 40 years, I have put my blood..

..heart, soul and mind into building these companies.

I have taken the Malhotra family into the top ten!

Now what do you want?

You want the businesses that have prospered for years to be ruined?

You want this house to be turned into a memorial for lovers?

This is a business house, and stays a business house.

If anyone tries to insult me, if anyone tries to stand in my way..

..I'm going to shoot him! Then I'll shoot myself.

Anyone who sides with Ronit will be responsible for my death.

Is everyone listening?

Excuse me, sir.

You are not supposed to leave the premises.

Kuldeep, this boy has rebelled.

Stop, sir. Stop.

Look, Ronit.

I want to see Isha

Go on, go to him.

He's bleeding.

He is bleeding.

Yes, what do you want to say? - [Engine starts]

Isha. Ronit..

Where are you taking me?

Isha, I want your decision, not the verdict of the rest of the world.

Are you with me, or not?

Ronit. - Today, we must take the decision.

Life? Or death?

Death? - Yes death.

No, Ronit must be brought back.

Only one man can compel him to attend tomorrow's function.

Who? - Raj. Only Raj.

Never. - [Glass smashed]

To save this 500-million corporation..

..you must overcome your vanity. - And beg?

Maybe, yes.

Please try to understand how delicate the situation is, brother.

I'm only asking you to accompany me.

I'll talk to Raj. You needn't say a word.

Memories cherished, of beloved ones, return after they're gone.

Well said!

There is a lady waiting for you outside.

Yes. Thank you. Bye. - Bye.

Raj..

Sister-in-law!

Ronit has fled from the house. - What?

Ran away? - Maybe.

Where to?

Ran away?

He ran away? This had to happen!

Why doesn't Mr. Rich ask his 500-million dollar company to find the boy?

Find him if you can.

Come Raj, let's sit inside and talk.

Sister-in-law, we are his parents.

Parents, period.

Guardians.

You don't rule him.

Right!

They are lovers. They love each other.

The lovers have flown, sister-in-law.

They have fled.

Great, my friend.

As the girl's father, if I lodge a complaint with the police..

..you might land in jail. Do you know this?

That's exactly what I intend.

If our families refuse to endorse our love, let the world decide.

At 5 pm today, your engagement to Monishka will be announced officially.

The papers for the merger of the two companies will be signed.

Not today, I'm going nowhere, uncle Raj.

What if I told you to?

[Cell phone rings] - Not even then.

Hello.

Your mother is on the phone.

Hello.

[Applause]

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

For the families Malhotra and Rai, today is a historical day.

Along with the merger of two great corporate..

..two families are also entering into wedlock.

After this ring ceremony, our children Ronit and Monishka..

..will commit themselves to a married life together.

Question to the chairman of our company, Mr. JKM.

To whom goes the credit for this historical day?

Wait a minute. Let me come over to you.

Tell us, brother.

[Clears throat]

Go on.

Credit goes to all of us.

[Chuckles]

All of us? Or just one?

One? I mean all of us.

A person, without whom, this evening wouldn't have been made possible?

Possibly. - Raj Singh Puri.

Yes. Yes. Raj Singh Puri. - He spoke.

Applause.

The man who has united two corporate, two children.

A few words for this man.

Thank you, Raj.

Don't say it like that. Say it with an open heart.

I'm saying it with an open heart.

Thank you, Raj.

Our chairman, that is brother, wants to present..

..a bouquet and shawl to Mr. Raj.

[Applause] - Thank you!

Thank you very much. Please sit down. Please be seated. Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Very magnanimous of him to honour small fry like myself.

I consider the honour of his family to be my family honour.

[Chuckles]

I recall a few lines my wife once wrote..

"You enter life, you leave"

"when you enter, bring, when you leave, give..

..memories, memories and memories"

[Applause]

Thank you.

"Loves.."

"grief's.."

"tales.."

"words"

"Loves.."

"grief's.."

"tales.."

"words"

"Words are forgotten"

"Memories return"

"Words are forgotten"

"Memories return"

"Memories."

"Memories."

"Memories."

Stop Uncle Raj.

Stop.

Please, stop.

Just a while longer.

Well.

Everyone made grand speeches and achieved greatness..

..and included us your greatness.

Nice. Very nice.

For the first time today, my mother has encouraged me..

She called me home, and she told me..

'Son, speak out in public if it's the truth you speak.'

'She told me not to hide, not to resort to lies.'

These people who addressed you..

..all of them lied to you.

They lied blatantly.

Because this is a stage, a public place..

..even Satan speaks with God with dignity from a public stage.

Right, mom? - Yes son, you're right.

But you are the society, the public-at-large.

Let's see who amongst you supports the truth.

I have a few questions Each of you has the merger report..

..one side red, and the other green.

If I'm wrong, say I'm wrong.

If I'm right, say I'm right.

Don't you say yes, if I'm lying.

Now give me a few answers.

Brother, what is he up to? - It's a public trial.

My first question.

Apologizing..

Apologizing for fooling the public when your heart is filled with venom?

Is that right or wrong?

Wrong.

Thank you.

Sorry, uncle.

Now honour.

Family's honour.

Family's honour.

Turning a blind eye to the fact that..

.. greed is the cornerstone of family honor?

Is that right or wrong? - Wrong.

Thank you. Thank you, uncle Raj.

Culture is the cornerstone of family honor, Uncle Raj.

Not loads of money.

Now, let's turn to a love story. A girl who is in love..

..sacrifices her love because of her father.

Is that right? Or wrong?

Right.

And the boy accedes to his father..

..he sells himself to the market place.

Wrong.

And his family will force him..

..to marry a rich heiress, to jack up share valuation.

Wrong.

Listen, Raj.

So, this story ends with the triumph of money. Love loses.

I heard that parents..

..would sell themselves for their children's happiness.

But today they are selling their children for their ambition.

Money first and then children.

Company affairs first! Family last.

Is this betterment? Is this progress?

Progress. Growth.

Emotions, love, friendships, relationships, culture..

..they mean nothing? Nothing?

What gospel is this?

What gospel are our elders trying to teach us?

We hate it. And we will always hate it.

And we refuse to follow rules of money.

We want love.

Just love.

Just love.

All right.

In a while from now..

..I'll put this ring on Monishka's finger.

And I'll sell myself to this..

..company and Monishka.

But my question is..

..will this diamond, or the performance of some rituals..

..weds two souls?

Is the union complete?

Speak up. Give me an answer.

Am I to marry for the sake of the merger?

Or should I marry the one to whom I have given my heart and my life?

Speak up. Give me an answer.

I shall tell you.

Monishka?

Strange! You cannot answer Ronit's simple question?

Because you are a part of the Globex merger?

Are you evading the truth under influence of the high and mighty?

The truth is marriages are meant to follow hearts..

..not mergers.

Ronit is right. Diamonds and rituals don't make a marriage.

Marriage is a meeting of hearts and souls.

Right, Ronit.

I ask Ronit's true love to come on stage..

..and in the presence of all of us here, let her give Ronit this ring.

So I call upon Isha Puri, to come on stage..

.. and accept this engagement ring.

Isha's Puri! - Where did she go?

Isha's Puri!

Isha's Puri.

Thank you, Monishka. Thank you for your generosity.

Isha isn't here.

Today when you wish to insult your families..

..you may find Sanya and me to be part of this.

But not Isha.

She has left.

I am sorry, Ronit.

Where is Isha?

JKM, this merger won't take place.

For the first time, the young children have made me realize..

..how good and honest they are, and how corrupt we are.

Especially you and I.

Thank you.

[Laughs]

He was the worst, yet he understood the children.

And you are still thinking? Great!

Papa.

Papa.

Papa.

Papa. - Isha.

Isha.

Why did you leave me?

You tell me to face the truth and you run away?

Nalini told me something was going to happen on stage.

Did Ronit call you to the stage?

Did he call you? Tell me.

I left before he could do that.

Why? Why, child?

Remember you used to say..

..a girl who is not accepted by the family..

..finds it difficult to get respect.

There's more to life than love, there are other relationships..

..like aunt, sister-in-law, daughter-in-law.

My child for the first time, I've seen the world..

..through the eyes of my children.

We rise in life, yet we are so petty.

And I sunk to such depths, that I cannot ask to be forgiven.

But this much I shall ask of you, to marry into my family.

If you do, I will know I have been forgiven.

Go, daughter-in-law. Go.

He has come to take you.

Go.

Thank you, Raj.

Thank you, brother. Let's go.

Raj Singh's story doesn't end here.

He stayed a friend to the children, to the very end..

..even when he became a grandfather.

Supriya.

Where are you Supriya?

Supriya will go for a walk with us.

Then she will return home. Then she will exercise.

Then she will have a bath and pray.

After that I will take her to school.

And in the evening we will go out.

Where are you child? - I am here, grandpa.

My beautiful baby. Where is mother Avantika?

Everyone left me and went out. Mother, father, uncle, aunt.

Everyone left you. But I am with you.

Your grandfather. - Grandfather, will you be my best friend?

You mean friend grandpa? - Yes.

Dear. Did you hear that? Look at this.

Even she..

I love you, my darling.

All right, child. Give me your hand.

From today, I am your friend grandpa. Ok. - Ok.

Let's go. Wait a minute. One minute.

First let me take the keys.

What?

Grandpa, when did mummy-papa get married?

6 years ago.

Uncle Ronit and aunty Isha? - Four years ago.

When are you getting me married?

Tell me. Please.
