'Imagine that you like someone... '

'...and that person likes you back.'

'Imagine that you confess your feelings to them at the right time.'

'If your families approve of the match...'

'...and you decide to get married... '

'...then the entire wedding feels like a festival.'

'Well, the ones who made this possible...'

'...are the bride and groom.'

'The stars of the ceremony.'

'Made for each other.'

After the 'made for each other' line...

...we'll show the grand entry of the bride and the groom.

I'm going to make such a beautiful wedding video...

...that they'll want to get married every time they see it.

We will be the Suraj Barjatya of wedding movies!

- Right? - Yes. Great!

I wanted to be a film-maker like Raju Hirani.

Instead, I'm taking shots of the groom's 'sherwani'.

Don't laugh. Trust me. This is the last wedding I'm shooting.

The film-maker inside me is dying!

As long as you've got money in your pockets, you can do anything.

Without money, the film-maker inside you won't survive.

Can we hurry up?

We are still not done with the 'eternal love' pose...

...'blessings from the parents' pose...

...'good wishes from the elders' pose. All that is left.

- Okay. - Listen.

What about the couple poses? Look at me.

The bride and groom are supposed to smile at each other.

Hey! Romeo and Juliet!

If romance over, we do photography?

Marquee ready. Bride's entry time. You both!

Exit time!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

I think he just said every English word he knew.

Why do you care about his English-speaking skills?

But I do care about making movies!

Let's go.

Consider this wedding as a research opportunity.

You won't find more interesting characters anywhere.

That's right.

- Just make sure... - Why is he always running when I see him?

It's a case of much ado about nothing.

Don't enter the altar with your shoes on!

The in-laws are missing!

Missing! Did they elope?

- The in-laws are missing! - The in-laws are missing!

You're the priest! Keep your voice down! There's no need to shout.

Chant a few mantras! 'Om! Peace unto all!'.

Stop shooting! This is not a documentary!

'The in-laws eloped!'

'The stars of the ceremony have changed!'

'I'll have to start the story from the beginning.'

'This time, let's focus on the characters...'

'...instead of the event.'

'This shadow may seem dark... '

'...but the din this man is making is much louder.'

'Chaos and anarchy follows this man wherever he goes.'

'And this man is the bride's father in our story.'

'Hasmukh Mehta.'

Can someone come here and help me?

They'll come running as soon as the dinner is served.

If you don't help me, I won't be putting ghee on your tortilla.

'The poor guy is single.'

If it is not going to start with one button, why give it?

'He does all the household chores in this family.'

'But when he is at his job...'

Sir!

- Sir! - The milk will boil over!

The milk...

Good morning, sir.

- [FLUTE SOUND] - [SIGHS]

[DOORBELL CHIMES]

The guy's family is here! Hurry up!

- Did you have trouble finding the house? - Not at all.

We had the right address. So, it was easy.

- Please sit. - Welcome.

- Greetings. - Please be seated. - Please sit.

'This is the senior most Mehta.'

'He is the reason why the father of the bride can't catch a break.'

'And the one sitting next to him is Kukku.'

'Not him. This one is very cute.'

'The short guy sitting at the back is Kukku.'

'Hasmukh does everything that Kukku is supposed to do.'

'When your junior becomes your senior's favourite... '

'...you can imagine what happens.'

'Bonjour, c'est quoi ton nom?'

'Mon nom est Kukku.'

Kukku!

He is Kookie.

Kookie seems to have given you her seal of approval.

I'm sure Krina will do the same soon.

'The centre of attention of this family.'

'Krina.'

'When a girl is old enough to get married...'

'...she becomes the centre of attention for the entire neighbourhood.'

'That is what's going on in Krina's life.'

Krina is here.

Hello.

Have you seen my charger?

Is that important right now?

She is apologising for being late.

It's okay. That happens. Don't worry about it.

Go and show your room to Satvik.

Uncle, it's Advik. Not Satvik.

Advik? Yes. Show your room to him.

Advik is a good name too.

[FOOTSTEPS]

So, Krina...

What do you like to do in your free time?

Tea... I love drinking tea.

Even I love tea.

But it's more fun if you have a cigarette in another hand.

You're quite outspoken, I must say.

How many guys have you met before me?

Will you ask for dowry?

No. Not at all.

Car, TV, refrigerator... You don't want anything?

I'm sorry. I'm against the custom of dowry.

Please take some dowry.

My dad is a rich man.

And we work for animal rights.

Even I love animals.

That too, chicken. 'Tandoori chicken' to be specific.

I am a sapiosexual.

- You? - Any time.

I mean... Whenever you want. Whenever you feel like it.

But when I started participating in cultural activities...

Where is your grandpa?

Not now. Please go!

I won't!

Please go!

- Do you watch Big Boss? - No, I don't.

- Why? Why don't you watch it? - I'll start tomorrow.

Sometimes, my grandma's spirit enters my body.

But very rarely. Hardly once a day.

Don't worry. She is harmless.

'The poor girl can't say yes to any of the prospective grooms... '

'...and she can't say no to her dad.'

That was the thirty-fifth guy we met.

We've met doctors, engineers, businessmen, CAs...

How come every guy rejects you?

At this rate, all the good guys in Ahmedabad will be gone.

You finally admitted it, dad.

I have said this multiple times before.

That's not what I meant. Today, you made me realise...

...that I belong to someone else.

That this is not my family.

You consider me as your responsibility.

No, sweetheart.

I mean...

Listen, my dear.

- That is not what I meant. - Meaning is not found in words...

...but in thoughts, dad.

Please don't say that.

We are your family and will always be.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Hang on.

I wanted you to do your PhD.

You're the one who said that you wanted to get married.

Then, why are you blaming me?

So many guys have rejected me. That means, I'm flawed.

Not everyone is perfect, Hasmukh.

Hey! Half-baked linguist!

If you say another word in English...

...I'll bombard you with the choicest expletives!

You won't find their subtitles anywhere!

Got it?

Dad, you need to relax.

I am relaxed. I am very calm, sweetheart.

I know what's going on.

I know you're making the guys reject you with your antics.

Are you trying to play games with your dad?

Fine. I'll play along.

Your next meeting will be a blind date.

- A blind date? Really? - Yes.

You won't be able to use your tricks if you don't know who the guy is.

'Hasmukh doesn't know that guys who resort to antics...'

'...are exactly Krina's type.'

That is the problem with love!

If you express your love, they call you clingy.

If you don't, they call you emotionally unavailable.

What's the trending trait these days?

Toxic!

I am a human being, not a snake!

'That is Krina's full-time boyfriend...'

'...and part-time struggling actor.'

'And that's why, a sorted girl like Krina...'

'...fell for this guy who can be seen monkeying around.'

We live in modern times, my friend.

The man that the queen likes...

...gets to be the king.

[THUD]

Come on, Sammy. I thought you were going to propose.

I'll do that soon.

Listen! Today's audition went great!

The first round is cleared. I'm just waiting for the final call.

Krina, get used to living in small spaces.

We'll be moving to Mumbai soon.

I am already trying to get used to it, Sammy.

Because I have rejected proposals from...

...so many guys living in huge mansions in Ahmedabad.

Why did you tell your dad that you wanted to get married?

If I hadn't told him that...

...he would've forced me to get a PhD.

And you know...

...that I hate books.

Excuse me.

Forget about that.

You told me that the audition was just a formality.

I thought you had the contract in your bag.

Instead, you got an egg.

You know how difficult it is to make it in movies these days.

Even Mr Bachchan got a break after struggling for ten years.

That's why I'm asking you to be more realistic.

Will you stop racking your brains?

What will I do if not acting?

I don't know anything else.

Become a gym trainer. You'll earn a lot.

You have our entire future charted out, haven't you?

This is typical girlfriend behaviour!

Do you want me to sell off my motorbike...

...and ride a moped like one of those middle-aged hustlers?

Stop being a drama queen!

The rate at which my dad is going through prospective matches...

...he'll marry me off to someone soon.

He won't do that.

This is a scam. Dads never make good on their threats.

This is just a ploy to scare you.

No, it isn't.

My next meeting with a guy is going to be a blind date.

I won't even have time to come up with a plan.

Blind date?

I hate the concept of a blind date.

You become awkward even before you meet the person.

You tell me.

If you have nothing to talk about, it shouldn't be a problem. Right?

What if you and dad have a blind date?

- No! - Yes.

'Let us leave the world of dreams behind...'

'...and come back to hard-core reality.'

'I'm talking about the mother of the groom.'

'The undefeated queen of the papad industry.'

'Hard-working businesswoman.'

'Someone who hasn't lost touch with reality.'

'Pankorben Papadwala.'

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Hi, Priyam.

- Hello, ma'am. - How is your mom doing?

Did she get her surgery?

Yes, ma'am. It went well.

She is able to walk now.

That's good to hear.

I know she can climb stairs too. I saw it on your story.

You posted about your family trip to Vaishnodevi.

Very good. Keep it up.

It is impossible to pull it off in just fifteen days.

- This is peak season for us. - Good morning sir!

It's impossible.

Why don't you order a consignment from China?

It will be cheaper and it will get delivered faster.

But the papad might be stale!

Hello! Would you like Gujarati snacks with an American twist?

Where?

I'm holding it. You'll get it quickly.

- Good morning. - Morning.

I'll call you later. I have a meeting.

How's it going?

Is your nephew going to grace us with his presence?

He'll be here.

Let's go.

The meeting is today.

Hey! What are you doing?

The CCTV camera is on.

- It's off. - You think you know everything.

The CCTV has been installed to show everyone...

...that we are a corporate.

In truth, this is a family business.

- I'm sure it's off. - It's the same thing...

...as packing old snacks in a new package.

Exactly.

This is Pankorben Papadwala Private Ltd.

PPP.

This is how every meeting should start.

First, feed everyone some nice snacks...

...and then ask them about their performance.

- Did you like it? - I'm sorry, ma'am.

- Good morning. - Good morning. Please sit.

- The agenda for today's meeting is... - Snacks before the meeting.

Pintoo.

Chaska's is a new company in the market.

They have an interesting approach.

We will approach them for the expansion.

Of course, this is the first time for us.

But there's no need to be scared.

We can handle it.

But, sir...

Who will handle this project?

- Hardik. - Jhanvi.

Jhanvi?

Yes.

The founder of Chaska's.

We will offer them a position.

I don't want to take over her passion.

But a merger will be beneficial for all of us.

- What do you say? - Yes.

So, all of us should get to work.

Yes!

- Mom, can I take this? - No.

- Why no? - Because I said so.

- Target in sight. - You can't take it. Put it back.

I said no. No!

A frustrated mom with a difficult kid.

Okay. Almost ready.

The customer is coming towards the Chaska's counter.

AIDA, the basic principles of sales.

- AIDA. Do you remember? - Yes, I do.

Attention. Interest. Desire. Action.

But...

Why can't I sell my products the normal way?

Because, in today's age, every business needs a story.

When you become a shark on Shark Tank...

...this lesson will come in handy.

We are just preparing for that.

- Mom! - No. We're not buying that.

Put it back.

Mom!

Grab the customer's attention.

Papad nachos!

They sell anything these days!

Product number two.

'Shakkarpara' nuggets.

If kids don't eat 'shakkarpara'...

...project them as nuggets to feed them!

[LAUGHING]

Our target audience is the kid. So, say that line.

Do you think it will work?

This is my guarantee that it will happen one hundred percent.

Do you have kids?

Look at him. He can be so stubborn!

My nephew is the same. He's very mischievous.

But what can we do? We have to do as they say.

Dear customer, special offer on apparel is only till 5:00 p.m.

'You are making me do such awkward things.'

These are the fundamentals. AIDA. Don't forget.

You have invoked the customer's desire.

Only the last part is left. Action.

Hardik, why are we putting up this entire charade?

Her left hand is on the 'khakhra'.

She will pick up the nachos.

Her right hand is on the nachos.

'Khakhra'... Nachos...

She is going to pick up both!

[LAUGHING]

I should be teaching MBA students.

Right.

'He thinks he can teach MBA students just because he sold a few packets.'

'Hardik Pankorben Papadwala.'

'He wakes up at noon.'

'He starts his day by playing games with his uncle.'

'Then, he fights with his mom.'

'And he spends the rest of his day...'

'...selling packets like this.'

[MUSIC OVERLAP ON DIALOGUES]

[MUSIC OVERLAP ON DIALOGUES]

'Well, in truth, he sells them like this.'

Rs. 500 for you.

Rs. 100 for the kid.

Mom, this is...

You said you'd pay Rs. 200 for him.

I know. But I'm deducting Rs. 100 for overacting.

It's okay. We'll make up for it in the next project.

Next project?

This is not a film school.

Buy candy with this money. Bye.

Let's go.

Hardik, this is very expensive.

You shouldn't have spent so much money.

Nothing is more valuable to me than you.

I don't understand how you save money when you get paid so less.

Do you want it or not?

Okay. Bye!

Hardik!

Is it an egg?

Packed in a box!

Wow!

I was wondering what to give you since so long.

Finally, I decided to give you this.

Listen.

We will nurture this...

...just like our relationship.

What? What is it?

It's a nice gesture.

But please don't use such big words. It doesn't go well with your image.

[ENGINE REVVING]

Hey, stop!

Stop.

Are you the costly guest?

What?

The guest of honour! Can't you speak English?

Minus ten!

Who are you?

Future owner. Current helper.

Do you want to do all the talking outside?

Let's go. Homecoming!

What the...

So, sir... How's your college going?

It's going well.

These days, they keep talking about recession. What's that all about?

No matter what happens in the economy...

...it rarely affects the education industry. Right?

Right.

Is Hasmukh supposed to answer questions or ask them?

- The teacher becomes the student. - Right.

Sir, I wanted to know. How much do you get on hand each month?

I'd just like to clarify...

...that you are the one giving the interview right now.

Not me. Okay, buddy?

First over done. Not a great start.

So, tell me, Scammy.

Sir, it's Sammy. Not Scammy.

What do you do for a living, Sammy, not Scammy?

I'm an actor.

Disappointing wrist action.

But I have never seen you in any movie.

I watch one movie every three or four years, don't I?

I haven't got a break in movies yet.

Any web series?

Not really.

TV commercial?

The batsman hasn't been able to get any runs yet.

- Then... - I've given many auditions.

But I haven't got a call back yet.

You see... I've planned my career in a way that...

Hang on.

Acting is more of a hobby than a career.

Dad, if he can't make it as an actor...

...Sammy can always consider to be a gym trainer.

Gym trainer?

Sir, I'll treat Krina like a princess.

And do you think this princess will live in a chawl in Mumbai?

I won't let your daughter suffer any kind of discomfort.

Are you trying to say that I haven't...

...provided her with a comfortable life?

Do you know?

I've installed a split AC in her bedroom.

I even bought her new Airpods.

The pro version.

Tell me. What are you capable of doing?

Sir, we live in a very bad world.

I'll protect your daughter from all harm.

Do you want to be her brother or her husband? Make up your mind.

I have more than a hundred reasons to reject you.

Give me one reason why I should give you a chance.

Can you please come here?

- Are you talking to me? - Go. Don't be scared.

- [GLASS SHATTERING] - [THUD]

Aunt says no.

[VEHICLE APPROACHING]

[DOOR OPEN]

Let's go.

Oh god!

[FOOTSTEPS]

Come on.

- Sir. - Yes.

I'm a driver. Please let me stick to driving.

I can't act.

In desperate times, even Bumrah hits fours and sixes.

Forget that you are a driver. Think that you're Bumrah.

It's your time to shine.

- Don't worry. You can do it. - But...

- Please listen to me. - I'll be there with you.

Hardik, I couldn't even grab that customer's attention before he left.

If you come back, you won't get your Diwali bonus this year.

If I stand here, I won't even get my salary.

They are making good sales.

What is he doing here?

No problem. We have another customer.

Looking at his belly...

...grabbing his attention won't be a problem.

Jhanvi, let's drop this for today.

Why do you want to drop it? You were the one who said...

...that one lost customer is one lost opportunity.

Today, she wants to put all principles into practice!

Papad nachos.

These days, people sell anything in the name of innovation.

No. They're quite tasty, actually.

Why don't you try one?

- Really? - Yes.

He sabotaged my attention.

Abort mission. I repeat! Abort mission!

Why do you want to abort mission? Let me think of something.

Actually, my husband loves papad nachos.

And this is the last packet. So, if you don't mind...

You seem very young to be married.

Don't your parents know that child marriage is a social evil?

This guy is more interested in my personal life than the product!

I'm asking you to get out of there.

No!

I won't give up until we reach the desire stage.

I drive a BMW, not a Dzire.

Why change something that has been a favourite for ages?

In the past, they used messenger pigeons to communicate.

- And now, we're living in the age of 5G. - Yes.

But you can't tell me that a remix sounds...

...as good as Kishore Kumar's original song.

He is not giving in. What should I do?

- Who are you talking to? - Him...

Hardik!

- You... - What?

So, you're the son of Pankorben, the papad queen!

You're pronouncing it wrong. It's Pankor.

He has been her son since his birth.

How could you lie to me, Hardik?

How could you start our relationship with a lie?

All this time I was thinking...

...that I was so lucky!

Her English is so good!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Not later. Now. Please.

It's true that I lied. But I did it for us.

Yes. I am Pankorben Papadwala's son.

I didn't have a say in the matter.

I have money, but I didn't earn it.

I thought if you found out about my family...

You have struggled all your life, whereas I...

I've had a comfortable life. So, I thought... - So, you lied.

After all, I'm a girl. I'll give in eventually. Right?

Yes.

- You don't even realise your mistake! - Listen.

He has always been like that.

It takes time for him to come to his senses.

Once, when he was in the second grade...

...he peed in his pants in the first period.

But he realised it in the fourth period...

...when the teacher pointed it out. Right?

- Are you done? - No. It's still on.

Why are you butting in? Can you be quiet for some time?

You are talking as if you have never lied.

Jhanvi, why are you overreacting...

...over something so trivial?

You lied to me. You made assumptions about me.

You refuse to admit your mistake.

And I'm the one overreacting!

You know what?

I've had enough. We are done.

Jhanvi!

Did she just break up with you?

No. She is angry right now. She will come back.

Please stop poking your nose in my life.

I'm not poking my nose. I'm worried about you.

You need to worry about your sister.

Only then, you'll get to sit on that throne...

...and I'll get to coronate you.

Son, you are the lawful heir of that throne.

So, let's meet the queen regent now.

- I don't want... - Come on.

Where are you going? Come next to me.

I am next to you. How much closer can I get?

Not here. The enemy will kill us. We're low on ammunition.

- Pintoo. - And it's time for me to go.

Wasn't today's meeting important?

Yes.

Does he care about this family...

...our business or me?

He must have been held up somewhere.

Tell her I'm not interested in her papad legacy.

Papad is a stupid thing to sell.

I'm not surprised that you think my business is boring...

...since you've been addicted to another 'Chaska'.

Why don't you taste this new flavour and tell us how it is?

I see papad in the factory, I see them at home!

That's all I see and hear about all day long!

- Your world is made of papad. - Well, yours will be same.

She is going to hand over the business to you.

Excuse me. I'm not interested in handing over my business to him.

Why don't you talk to each other directly?

I'm getting caught up in this cross connection!

She doesn't want to hand over the business to me.

But she is certainly interested in poking her nose in my affairs.

I wouldn't have had a problem if you had been honest with me.

But you were lying to me.

And I hate lies! You know that.

Please relax, Pankor. Your blood pressure will shoot up.

Her problem is not that I lied to her.

She can't digest the fact that I'm interested...

...in anything other than her papad business.

That girl is going to be my life partner. Please tell her.

Wow!

You can't even make instant noodles...

...and you think you can make her your life partner!

A relationship built on the foundation of lies...

- ...will never last. - Come on, mom.

You, of all people, shouldn't lecture anyone on relationships.

What?

Krina, listen.

Your mom's photo frame has been repaired.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Is that all you wanted to tell me?

I also wanted to ask you something.

Did you suffer a fall that I don't know about?

I mean, did you have any kind of head injury?

No. Why are you asking that?

I mean... Only someone who is not of sound mind...

...would choose a character like him.

[LAUGHING]

Are you calling your own daughter crazy?

You are so toxic!

Now, I'm toxic! Wow!

What did you see in him?

I know he is cute but...

Do looks mean everything to you?

What about depth of character?

I'm looking for a partner, not an ocean!

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[LAUGHING]

- That was really lame. - Yes, it was.

The company we keep rubs off on us.

He is not that bad, dad.

No, he's not bad.

I'm not saying that he is a bad guy.

But...

He is not right for you.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Pintoo.

What he said is quite true.

Pankor, you've done everything in your power to make things right.

In fact, you've gone above and beyond.

Maybe, going above and beyond has backfired.

When Hardik asked for a bicycle...

...I gave him a motorbike.

When he asked for a mobile phone, I gave him an iPhone.

- [CLANKING CHAINS] - [CRICKETS CHIRPING]

I know what you're thinking.

Take my side for once.

Pankor, I support him only because I am on your side.

Do you remember? You wanted to teach him 'kathak'.

But I asked you to buy him a cricket kit.

He used to play with it all day long.

But do you remember?

He had hidden a bottle of alcohol...

...in that very cricket kit.

[GASPS]

You should give a chance to someone...

...who is going to use it to do something good.

[GASPS]

Give me one last chance.

Trust me.

If nothing happens this time...

...I will always take your side.

I promise.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Darn this door!

What is your favourite colour?

I already told you I don't want to meet prospective brides.

But listen to me...

Hang on. What are you doing, uncle?

- I'm writing pink. - It's red!

- Do you like chocolate or ice-cream? - Neither.

- Chocolate ice-cream. - It's ice-cream!

I'm measuring you to put your stats on the matrimonial site.

It is wise to measure oneself periodically after a certain age.

Why?

Jhanvi should know that you're not out of options.

She'll come running back to you.

Time of birth.

- 3:07 am! - Oh! The hour of ghosts!

- Please leave before I pound on you! - Okay.

It has everything.

Hardik's birth-certificate...

...his birth chart and his marksheets.

- How is Hardik related to you? - He's my nephew.

- Nephew! - Yes.

You don't look old enough to be his uncle.

Didn't Hardik's aunt come with you?

Well, she hasn't come into my life yet.

Okay.

- So, tell me... - Prathmesh.

But you can call me Pintoo.

People who are close to me, usually call me Pintoo.

It's a cute name.

Okay, Pintoo.

What kind of a girl do you want for Hardik?

Simple, docile, obedient...

No. Not someone like you.

He would prefer someone smart and mischievous.

My nephew is quite the character.

When he was in the ninth grade...

...he had a crush on his Sanskrit teacher.

She was as pretty as you.

He wrote a love letter to her in Sanskrit.

- What did he write? - He wrote, 'I...'

'I am in love with you.' Something like that.

Okay. Don't worry.

I have the perfect match...

...for your character.

Good.

Please find someone for him. As for me...

I've even put the AIDS test report in it. It's negative.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

The samosas are great. Aren't they? All credit goes to Gita.

They're very good.

I'm talking about Gita Samosa Centre.

- She didn't make them. - Good.

- Why are you engaging in small talk? - What do you mean?

Call mom here quickly and let's get this over with.

Exactly. Who are we waiting for?

My sister will be here soon.

She runs a big business empire.

She gets calls even on Sundays.

She is very busy.

Even my phone is on all day long.

He likes to binge watch.

I should check up on her. Don't you think?

Please go.

Perfect Sunday plans, dad!

Why? I thought we had a deal.

I agreed to have the blind date with Sammy.

Now, it's your turn.

I'm really sorry.

I'm sorry. I got a call from the factory. I...

You're here...

Did you have the samosas?

Yes, we did.

[COUGHS]

Hasmukh. Krina.

I'm Hasmukh. She is Krina.

That is my dad.

And he is dad's Kukku.

Hello!

Where are you from?

From that side...

He means, we live on the other side of the river.

- Old city. - Right.

Old city.

- What is wrong with you? - Why is he in shock?

I think it's because their garden is bigger than ours.

What is it?

You seem very shy. Why don't you say something?

Sing a song.

Do you have a charger?

[LAUGHING]

Listen, Hardik. Take her to your room and give her the charger.

This way.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

So... Krina.

- Which college did you go to? - L. J. College. Arts.

- How about you? - I'm a student of the subject called life.

That's funny.

'Why did she find it funny?'

'Hardik, you need to focus.'

By the way, I'm very short-tempered.

I hate tea.

I detest travelling and I never watch any movies.

'I see. So, he's using my tricks on me.'

What?

You seem very frank.

I really appreciate it.

- This way? - Yes. Please.

The 'khaman' is tasty, isn't it?

The credit goes to Lakshmi.

She is Lakshmi.

Pintoo, I think that's enough.

- The grinding machine... - We have a manager.

- He will supervise. - Why don't you do it?

You are professor of commerce. Right? In which college?

I teach in L. J. College.

My son teaches in the best college in Ahmedabad.

Yes. It's one of the oldest colleges.

Pankor was supposed to go there.

But she didn't qualify. So, she went to S. L. College.

He has studied in S. L. College too.

Is that so?

Actors, models, doctors...

After dating every kind of girl, I realised...

...that if a guy wants to marry a girl...

...he should choose a home-maker.

You have the personality of Ranbir Kapoor...

...but your ideas are from the age of Raj Kapoor.

- Thank you. - I love it!

- You love it? - Of course!

I love everything vintage.

Pankor, in what year did you graduate?

1993-1994.

I think he graduated in 1994.

With average marks.

You teach accounts. Right?

That means, you must have studied commerce.

Obviously. What a silly question!

Pankor, did you major in commerce as well?

- Well... - Dad, leave a few questions for Hardik.

That's right.

To be honest...

...I'm really fond of drinking and smoking.

Wow! Then, we can do it together.

I'm quite lazy.

So, I can never hold on to a job.

That's perfect! That means I will have your full attention!

- I won't let you work after marriage. - I don't even want to work now.

Don't you have even a little bit of feminism in you?

I mean... I've been saying nonsensical stuff...

...but you don't seem to have a problem with anything.

You're a novice at this game...

...but I'm a pro.

Even though I'm just a librarian.

Don't worry.

I don't want to get married either.

Thank God! Such a relief!

For the first time in my life, I've met someone...

...who resorts to the same shenanigans as me.

Does that mean you already have...

Is your family also not agreeing to that match?

Right now, it's the girl that's not agreeing.

Oh... Then, it's perfect.

We should reject each other.

What if we say yes to each other?

Did you never bump into each other at the college?

No.

I barely attended college.

I used to skive off classes all the time.

He is lying.

He used to spend all his time in the library.

Introverts!

I see. And Pankor used to be in the canteen all day long.

That's why they never met each other.

These two make a very good pair, don't they?

What do you think, dad?

They are quite wealthy.

The guy seems nice.

Their house is huge.

Their helper speaks such good English. I can barely understand him...

...but he seems smart.

The guy's uncle seems poor.

- What? - He has poor communication skills.

Can you keep quiet? We are discussing something important.

Why do you always bring him along?

There was space in the car.

No matter where Krina marries...

...we are definitely giving Kukku away as dowry!

Hasmukh seems like a very good-natured man.

He looks like a sweet little teddy bear.

Wow!

Pankor doesn't have a daughter.

I'm sure Krina will be like the daughter she never had.

She is his only daughter.

He has no other children to worry about.

I think we should do a more thorough background check.

Pintoo, this is a lifelong commitment.

It is not like selecting the package design for papad.

You can't do it after one meeting.

I need more time.

Why?

I knew you'd call me here to meet you.

I thought you'd stand me up once again.

- What do you mean by once again? - I mean...

I thought you wouldn't come out of fear of Krina and her grandpa.

'Fattu'!

Please don't call me that now.

- It was okay as long as we were in college. - I'm sorry.

It's been how many years? Twenty-seven?

I don't remember.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

However...

...I clearly remember how you hazed me.

This is where you did it. Right?

Everything has changed, hasn't it?

Yes. It's been years.

Things are bound to change.

By the way, some things still haven't changed.

Where is Mr Papadwala?

I didn't see him yesterday.

He left a long time ago.

That's how I became Pankor Papadwala.

How about Mrs Mehta?

She went a little further away.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

Do you want to have a cup of tea?

- Yes. - Let's go.

[FOOTSTEPS]

Krina liked Hardik.

Even Hardik said that he liked Krina.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Can I be frank with you?

I think I can be honest with you.

Krina is not right for Hardik.

- Why are you saying that? - Her career is going nowhere.

I asked her to prepare for her PhD, but she never listens.

She wakes up late every day and then...

...spends the whole day browsing her phone.

She doesn't know how to do any household chores.

If she comes to live with you, you'll have a hard time.

Tea?

She doesn't even know where the tea leaves are kept at home.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Do you know what's the worst thing about it?

She works as a librarian...

...at the college where I teach as a professor.

I see.

She was the one...

...who was in a hurry to get married.

But she is still a child.

But you seemed really happy that day.

That is because...

...after meeting so many guys, she finally liked someone.

And she was happy.

So, even I got happy.

And what is the truth?

I was just faking it.

You didn't even give me a reply to my letter when we were in college.

What letter?

I see.

You're scared that's why you're feigning innocence.

Forget about that. Did you read my message?

It's too long.

- Give me the gist. - I wrote that.

I will talk to Krina once. After that we'll decide...

...whether their alliance gets cancelled or ours.

Ours?

I mean...

Our friendship, I meant.

Oh! Friendship.

Done.

Good night, 'Fattu'!

Stop calling me 'Fattu'!

- Look! She's following me. - Why is Kookie barking?

- Where is Krina at this hour? - She must be in her room.

She is not there, dad. I already checked Krina's room.

- Shut up! - I'll check outside.

I'll see if her scooter is there or not.

- What is wrong with you? Calm down. - Hey!

What is this?

Her scooter is there. But Krina is missing.

'This is how kids react to strict parents.'

'Their reaction is usually equal and opposite.'

'One floated an idea... '

'...and the other took no time to execute it!'

'In short, we should reject each other.'

'What if we say yes to the match?'

'If we both agree to this match...'

'Our families will get off our backs!'

'Exactly.'

'You can elope with your boyfriend.'

'And I'll find a way to bring my girlfriend around.'

'They won't force us to get married if something like that happens.'

I request Jhanvi to come downstairs.

Hey! Radio-head! What is the matter with you?

It seems you are a fan of that band.

Have you never been in love?

Why don't you pay more attention to your wife?

Hi! You're here!

Happy birthday to you!

Where are you, Sammy?

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

It's midnight. What kind of behaviour is this?

This is how I am.

By the way, happy birthday.

As far as I remember, the last thing I told you was...

- ...that we were done. - You said that. Not me.

Okay.

I'm sorry. Look...

I realised I made a huge mistake.

To be honest, after that day...

...I haven't been able to sleep well a single night.

I really love you.

So, you think I should forget about what happened...

...and forgive you just because you brought me balloons and cake!

I also got this!

Okay, listen.

I agree that.

I hid my identity from you.

But today...

I want you to meet the real Hardik.

I'm Hardik Papadwala...

...son of Pankor Papadwala...

...whose net worth is somewhere around Rs. 1 billion.

And thanks to her, mine should be somewhere close to Rs. 100 million.

I don't wake up before 2 pm.

While bathing, I sing songs of Lata Mangeshkar.

Custard apple is my favourite ice-cream flavour.

I don't know how to ride a motorbike.

Sometimes, I cheat when I'm playing cards.

I'm very bad at mathematics. So, if we have kids...

...you will have to teach them.

But I am a diamond level player in PUBG.

I don't like being on any kind of diet.

I am a foodie. But whenever I eat 'pav bhaji'...

...I get acid reflux the next day.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Please forgive me, sweetheart.

Even I cheat sometimes when I play cards.

I know that.

[LAUGHING]

What is your seat number?

Get in quick.

Stow your bags in the upper compartment.

Don't put them near your feet.

Ma'am, have him put your bags in the luggage compartment.

- Please hurry. - Give me a couple of minutes.

The bus will wait. Right?

Ma'am, we're getting late We can't wait.

Hey! Hurry up! Come on! Mumbai!

Hey! Aren't you ashamed of yourself?

That's enough.

Just cut the cake and go home.

I know. I'll send some cake for you too.

I have seen him somewhere.

No. How could you have seen him?

I'm sure I have seen him before.

He looks like an average guy from Ahmedabad.

- That's why you felt that way... - Hang on.

I remember now.

That means, you sent him.

- Where? - That means...

All the customers who bought Chaska's snacks...

...were sent by you!

- Not all of them. A few... - Shut up!

Ma'am, are you getting on the bus or not?

Come on. Hurry. Close the luggage compartment.

Are Krina and Sammy here? Where are they?

- Krina! Sammy! - I'm Krina!

Sammy is on the way. Please wait for a couple of minutes.

Like an idiot, I thought my product was great!

But you were just fooling me!

I did all that only because

- I have feelings for you. - What about my feelings?

I can't believe I was in love with a liar!

- Was anything you just said true? - All of it was true!

It was all true!

- And... I wanted to make a fresh start... - Like this?

Looks like one can't count on this guy! Let's go!

Mumbai! Anybody left?

For you, my business was just a game.

And so was our relationship!

Hardik, you even treat your own life as a game...

...and I don't want to be a part of it.

Please go! Just leave!

Jhanvi!

Dad, I don't want to talk about it. Please.

Library is no place to talk, anyway.

Then, why are you here?

Why does a person come to a library?

To get books. Right?

I came here to borrow a book on Accounts.

It's by the author McKenzie.

Can you help me find it, Ms Librarian?

Thank you.

Did you find it?

I can't find anything by McKenzie, dad. Will any other author do?

No author explains certain concepts...

...the way McKenzie does.

So, that's the one I want.

Okay.

I checked all the columns. I can't find it.

Perhaps, a student took it. Please check the entry in the system.

Dad, I already checked it.

Check one more time.

[FOOTSTEPS]

- Did you find it? - It's not here, dad.

Why are you hung up on this author?

Move on to another one.

I want to tell you the same thing.

Why are you still hung up on that loafer?

It's time you move on. Don't you think?

It's not that easy, dad.

I know that.

But you have to try.

I wish I could tell you how I'm feeling.

How are you feeling?

Do you know what I'm the most angry about?

I'm not mad just because Sammy ditched me.

It's more because of the fact...

...that you were right about Sammy.

I'm not your enemy.

If you want to share something...

...I'm right here, sweetheart. Okay?

By the way...

...how would you have proven your point if I had found the book?

You wouldn't have found the book.

It has been with me for the past four years.

I was thinking of making a few investments.

If one of your ideas turns out to be promising, I could fund it.

Do you really think that much about me?

Wow!

Why is it so difficult to talk to you?

That's why I always keep uncle around when we talk.

We shouldn't need him every time we have to talk.

Really?

Fine. Tell me. What am I thinking about right now?

You don't know.

I'm not surprised.

Forget about now.

Were you with me during any of the important moments of my life?

You never attended any events in my school, mom.

I attended every Parents-Teachers meeting.

That's because it officially gave you a chance to be on my case.

Son, can you, for once, try and see things from my perspective?

Do you know what's the problem with your perspective, mom?

It is never in my favour.

Do you know why I hate your papad business so much?

Because your business has always been more important to you than me.

And perhaps, more than dad.

Why do you seem so lost?

I was enjoying the tea you made.

Is that so? Did you like the tea?

Yes. Why?

I forgot to add sugar. And you haven't even tasted it.

What's the matter?

- [WATER SLOSHING] - [BIRDS CHIRPING]

Children of separated parents...

...always blame their parents for all their problems.

It doesn't matter what the cause is.

For them...

...the culprit is always the mom or the dad.

Did Hardik argue with you?

When does he not argue with me?

It's okay.

After working so many years as a college professor...

...one thing is clear to me.

Once your child is old enough to vote...

...you should let them be on their own.

If you keep a bit of distance from them...

...everything gets better.

When you keep distance...

...they get a chance to understand things better...

...and even we, as parents, get a chance to think things over.

So, in the long run...

...temporary distance proves to be beneficial.

- [WATER SLOSHING] - [BIRDS CHIRPING]

Have you kept your distance from Krina?

- [WATER SLOSHING] - [FOOTSTEPS]

Our case has been a bit different.

Her mother passed away when she was very little.

I used to do everything I could.

I used to iron her school uniform...

...pack her lunch...

...and even braid her hair.

However, despite everything, things were a little hard for her.

A father can never understand the way a mother can.

And vice versa.

...a mother can't.

...Krina needs a mom...

...and Hardik needs a dad.

Akanksha Foundation...

Uncle... Uncle!

Why did you bring me here?

Uncle!

Why did you bring me here?

Such small tiffs are common in every family.

You didn't have to enrol mom in this women's shelter.

You know her nature.

Such fights happen...

In every family... That's what you said.

- [FOOTSTEPS] - [BIRDS CHIRPING]

I got married two years ago.

My family thinks that this happens to every woman.

I should just put up with it.

What do you want to do?

I want to do a lot.

I want to press criminal charges on him and get a divorce.

But, first of all...

...I want to earn a living.

Sunita will look after the legal proceedings.

You can start working on Monday.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

Didn't Pankor Ma'am come with you?

This is the last month's balance sheet and the court documents.

Thank you sister!

Your mom doesn't go to the factory every Sunday. She comes here.

I know you wonder why your mom doesn't...

...give you time or share things with you.

But my child.

'Before your mom became Pankorben Papadwala... '

'...she was just Pankor.'

'You have no idea what she was like.'

'She was happy-go-lucky and carefree.'

'She lived her life to the fullest.'

'Appearances can often be deceptive.'

'No one knows what kind of turmoil another person...'

'...is experiencing.'

'We just judge people from their exterior.'

'Sometimes, life throws challenges at you...'

'...that change you in a matter of seconds.'

[CHILD CRYING]

[DOOR OPEN]

- That means my dad... - He lied to your mom.

He had promised to treat her like a queen.

'I still remember the day I left my husband's home.'

'And look at where I stand today.'

'Hardik, my home...'

'...and my business...'

'That is all my life became about.'

[BICYCLE BELL]

I try very hard to forget everything and move on.

- [HORN HONKS] - [SIGHS]

But something always reminds me of my past.

[FOOTSTEPS]

But if we hold on too tight to the past...

...we tend to lose grip over our present.

It's best to shake off bad memories and move on, Pankor.

It's easier said than done.

Only the person who goes through that pain...

...knows how hard it is.

Humans have a tendency to underestimate the pain of others.

- [HORN HONKS] - [SIGHS]

Krina's mom, Jyoti...

She was very similar to me.

She was a woman of few words and many emotions.

Do you know what was the biggest regret we had?

Nothing ever happened in our lives.

Nothing out of the ordinary ever happened to us.

Krina's birth was...

...the greatest event of our life.

The rest of it went like clockwork. Everything went as per routine.

I'd wake up and go to college.

In the evening, we always had dinner together.

We'd ask each other, 'How was your day?'.

'It was good. How about you?'

'Good.'

- [WATER SLOSHING] - [HORN HONKS]

That's it. End of conversation.

Apart from that...

We were never too much in love.

Nor did we feel any kind of resentment towards each other.

Our likes and dislikes...

We could never share them with each other.

We would convey our feelings to each other with our demeanour.

One day, perhaps, she thought there was...

...nothing more left to learn about me.

So, she left me.

Without telling me what I was supposed to do.

She just...

[WATER SLOSHING]

[GASPS]

Just because my story is different than yours...

...it doesn't mean I felt no pain.

Ego is a harmful thing.

We don't need to experience everything on our own.

Sometimes, another person's experience can teach a lot.

We should move on. Right?

How come you weren't so smart during our college days?

I was smart even then. But you were flying so high...

...that no matter how loudly I said it, you couldn't hear me.

Oh, I see.

And now...

...I'm back to earth. So, you are lecturing me.

I'm not lecturing you.

I'm just being there for you.

My mother used to say...

...that if you want to help someone and don't know how to do it...

...just be there for them.

Merely having someone by your side can give you a lot of strength.

Right?

Are you there for me?

[WATER SLOSHING]

If you have a problem with it...

You just said it and now, you're asking for my permission.

What can I do? You have always been so enigmatic!

Is everything okay?

Mom... I'm sorry.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

It's okay.

[ENGINE REVVING]

I can't believe you used to be so slim.

This step-well is in many photos.

Look. Here it is again. Was it a special place?

It was at that time.

It was our regular college hangout.

We used to skive off classes and go there.

You skived off classes!

Well... I used to go there when a class was cancelled.

Some places...

...become special for a lifetime.

- Can I ask you something, dad? - Sure, my dear.

After mom passed away...

...didn't you ever feel lonely?

I got used to it.

Humans have a strange relationship with habits.

Some habits are formed without trying...

...but for some, you need to make an effort.

[CLOCK TICKING]

First, I got used to living with your mom.

Then, I had to form the habit of living without her.

[CLOCK TICKING]

[CLOCK TICKING]

When you get married and live with your in-laws...

...I'll have to get used to living without you.

Don't worry. I'll form the habit of living without you.

Don't get any ideas.

[CLOCK TICKING]

But...

[HORN HONKS]

Can one form the habit of being in love after one gets married?

I don't know if that is possible form the habit of being in love.

But sometimes, people consider habit as love.

[LAUGHING]

[CLOCK TICKING]

Come on!

We are going out!

Stay here. Let's get your leash.

There it is!

My cutie pie!

What can I do?

I have another cutie pie in my life now.

[SHUSHING]

Look over there.

[SIGHS]

I think Kookie and Hasmukh are finally getting along.

What I am saying and what you are thinking!

Don't you find something strange...

...about that man's behaviour?

I'll find someone cute for you too.

The man who used to avoid bathing under the pretext of saving water...

...has started to spray perfume before going out.

- You're right. - He wears new clothes every day.

He keeps smiling all day long.

He is actually Hasmukh now!

He's finally living up to his name!

Grandpa, this happens...

...only when a person is in love...

...or if he is going to die soon.

What are you saying?

He is coming this way.

- Let's go! - Hey!

Where are you off to?

Me? I'm going for a haircut.

Oh! But why are you so dressed up?

Actually... Not me...

Kookie needs a haircut.

- It's an expensive salon for dogs. - I see.

I need to be properly dressed.

Come on. It's time for your haircut.

Come on!

[ENGINE REVVING]

[ENGINE REVVING]

He actually took Kookie for a haircut!

In the past, he used to get annoyed...

...whenever Kookie barked.

And now, he has got her here for a spa appointment! Stranger things!

Okay, Tom Cruise.

If your Mission Impossible has been accomplished, let's go home.

Grandpa, I think we should go inside and check.

Look at the rickshaw tab! It's still running.

- It's almost time for our salsa class. - Oh, yes!

- Miss Margaret must me waiting. - Yes. Miss Margaret!

Let's go!

[HORN HONKS]

[FOOTSTEPS]

Good afternoon, sir.

Hello! So cute!

My little cutie pie!

What package do you want for this cutie?

Her name is not cutie. It's Kookie.

I don't want any package.

She just needs a simple bath.

Okay, sir. Got it. Then, I'll suggest the signature package.

Signature...

No, sir. It's a package we offer.

It includes, nail trimming, shampoo, conditioning...

...oil massage and dry cleaning for the dog... - Dry cleaning!

It's a dog, not a quilt.

Sir, this is the bare minimum.

Sir, dogs have very thick fur.

So, only shampoo is not enough.

Imagine that your entire body is covered in hair.

Why would I imagine that?

Sir, all I'm trying to say...

...is that shampoo alone is not enough to clean a dog.

We should also give them a micro-bubble spa.

Just as humans do it in the jacuzzi.

I never sit in a jacuzzi bath.

Why would I want it for my dog?

Okay, sir. Would you like to go for a higher package than that?

Hii!

Listen, a simple bath won't do.

I would like to go for a higher package.

- The one called Royal Stag... - Sir, the signature package.

Yes. Let's go for the signature package.

Okay, sir.

Such a cute place!

The place is cute. But have you seen the prices?

I pay Rs. 125 for my haircut. I'll be paying...

...way more than Rs. 500 for Kookie's haircut.

It's called grooming.

Tell me why you called me here instead of the park.

Kukku and my dad had got suspicious.

They were following me.

[LAUGHING]

I got so scared! Why are you laughing?

You get scared very easily.

You got scared even when I wrote you that letter.

What letter?

[DOG BARKING]

Look at her! She hates baths!

I'm scared.

What if Kukku has followed me till here?

What if we tell our families?

Tell them what?

That we... I mean...

Me... And you...

I mean... You and I...

What about us?

I don't want to say it.

'Fattu'!

What if our families don't approve?

Then, we'll run away.

- Run! Run faster! - Good!

India! India!

India! India!

That's more like it!

What's the score?

We were watching an old match.

- For nostalgia's sake. - Can you please switch it off?

I want to talk to you about something.

Where is Krina? Krina!

[CLOCK TICKING]

Why is he pacing around like Gabbar from 'Sholay'?

What is it?

What I am about to tell you...

...might shock you.

But something has been gnawing away at me since the past few days.

I was wondering...

...if I should share it with you or not.

Then, I decided to tell you.

I mean... Our family is quite open-minded.

Everyone has the right to know everything.

Yes, we do.

Just give it straight to us.

- How many days? - Oh!

- What? - What did the doctor say?

What?

- Is it cancer? - What? Cancer?

Is it tuberculosis?

Don't tell me it's AIDS!

What is wrong with him? Please talk some sense...

...into this part of your extended family!

- Nothing has happened to me! - Quiet!

By God's grace, I'm perfectly healthy. Nothing is wrong with me.

Let me finish what I was going to say.

- Where was I? - Open-minded family.

Yes. Open-minded family.

In such families, people should be open with each other.

What I mean to say...

...is that people shouldn't hide things from each other.

I don't think it's appropriate to keep secrets from each other.

Everyone should be honest and upfront with each other.

I'm sorry, dad.

You're right. Everyone should be honest with each other.

I was going to tell you.

What?

I like Hardik.

Hardik...

That heir to the papad business? That Hardik?

The one whose mom used to study in Hasmukh's college?

Yes, that one.

And I want to marry Hardik.

Dad, that Hardik...

You were the one who fixed a meeting with him for an arranged marriage.

Do you remember?

'You know, in a parallel universe... '

'...we'd have been a great couple!'

'You're right about that.'

'But it was nice rejecting you.'

'Same here!'

What happened after that?

After that, I broke up with Jhanvi.

What after that?

Then, Krina called me one day.

Oh! And then?

Both of us were quite depressed after our respective breakups...

...and met each other.

'Look, this has happened to me for the first time.'

'Usually, no one calls me in a crisis.'

'So, I don't know how to handle it.'

'And on top of that... '

'...I have no idea how to pacify someone who is crying.'

'Just be there for them.'

[TRAFFIC AMBIENCE]

'I had given up all hope.'

'But I began to consider the possibility of Hardik...'

'...only because of dad.'

'I don't know if that is possible form the habit of being in love.'

'But sometimes, people consider habit as love.'

What you said that about habits and love made me realise...

...that it was time I formed a good habit.

- What happened after that? - Then, we started talking.

In the beginning, we thought we liked each other's company...

...because we were in the same situation.

But gradually, we actually started enjoying spending time together.

I felt like dressing up each day.

I felt like going to work.

In short, I took you to the NGO and told you your mom's story.

But Krina got all the credit!

- Perhaps. - I don't mind.

Does that mean...

- ...you are in love? - As mom says...

...if life gives you a chance, you shouldn't let go of it.

Mom, I want to take this chance.

Pankor, for the first time in his life, he listened to you!

[TRAFFIC AMBIENCE]

- [FOOTSTEPS] - [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[ENGINE REVVING]

We need to act fast before it's too late.

We don't need to do anything.

Krina broke up with Sammy.

She has agreed to marry Hardik...

...only to make me happy.

I'm sure Hardik is doing this for a similar reason.

Did you talk to Hardik about us?

No.

And I won't talk to him about us.

Hasmukh, everything has been finalised.

But that's normal.

Even if things are finalised now, they can be cancelled later.

Then, something new can be finalised.

Think about it.

This is not just about us, Hasmukh.

Our families are involved.

You are behaving like a teenager right now!

I'm behaving like a teenager!

What about how you were behaving?

'I invited them. Let them start.'

- 'We had to invite them. - Thank you, Prathmesh.'

'Uncle, is your name Prathmesh?'

'I never knew that!'

'From Prathmesh to Pintoo.'

'Just as I went from Krutarth to Kukku.'

'As Shakespeare says, what's in a name?'

'Please find a way to shut him up, or I will.'

'I think we should discuss the matter at hand.'

'I think...

I think we should fix a wedding date before Diwali.'

'Before Diwali?'

'What's the hurry?'

'They are still quite...'

'Do you both mind?'

'No... I mean...'

'Krina, listen, my dear. There's no need to rush this.'

'You can take more time if you want.'

'No, dad. I trust your choice.'

'When the bride and groom are ready, who are we to object?'

'That's right.'

'But, Anju, a month is not enough to make all the preparations.'

- 'That's why I'm here. - I know that you're here.'

'But before the wedding... '

'...we need to formalise the engagement.'

'That will give the couple a chance...'

'...to know each other better.'

'Hasmukh, perhaps, you don't know... '

'...but for today's generation the honeymoon period...'

'...gets over before the wedding.'

'I'm sure the power play is already done.'

'Don't worry about it.'

'There's no need for the semi-final.'

'Let us directly play for the finals.'

'But one needs to win at the semi-finals to play in the finals.'

'Listen, Brian Lara! Enough with the cricket analogies.'

'Let's just get them married.'

'Will it be ODI or T20?'

'Test match.'

'Hang on! I just remembered!'

'We have exams at the college before Diwali. I'll be very busy.'

'I'm sure she also keeps busy during the festival season.'

- 'Right. - Come on, Pankor.'

'What could be more important than your son's wedding?'

'All work and no play makes Pankor a dull...'

'What do you...'

[COUGHS]

'What do you think, Pankor?'

'Did you see how he addresses her so casually?'

- 'I think... - Don't worry about the wedding planning.'

'Prathmesh and I will handle everything.'.

Anju is a matchmaker.

I can understand why she is trying to rush things.

That doesn't mean we should just give in to her demands.

This is not a war.

Love is like a war, Pankor.

Maybe I'm exaggerating. But...

We need to find a way.

I see three possibilities.

One. We should call everyone...

...and decide together who will make the sacrifice.

Second.

We should do something to break up Hardik and Krina.

And the third possibility is that we should elope.

Of the three possibilities...

The third one is the best!

- We should elope! - Hasmukh, stop it!

[GASPS]

Think about it.

What if they had agreed to the match...

...the first time they met?

Would we have thought of all this?

[GASPS]

Maybe, we were destined to have only this much.

Okay?

Happiness doesn't always depend on one's destiny.

Sometimes, you have to grab the chance that's before you.

But there is a right time to grab a chance.

We have to accept the situation.

Okay?

Pankor.

Please consider eloping.

There's nothing without family.

Everything is family.

Nothing without family.

Didn't he say the same thing four times?

Shut up!

Hearty congratulations to Krina!

You see what I did there?

[LAUGHING]

Sometimes, Krina gets hungry...

...around 2 am in the morning.

So, Hardik should ensure that there are enough snacks and ice-cream...

...in the house at all times.

I think marriage is not...

I mean... I didn't believe much...

...in the institution of marriage before.

But since you've decided to get married, keep one thing in mind.

Pay all your bills before the fourth of every month.

Electricity bill. Gas bill.

Pay all your household help.

Give them one entire salary as bonus on Diwali.

That's not what we meant, uncle. Give them some advice on romance.

What does one need for romance? Air-conditioning.

If you pay your bills on time, the AC will keep working...

...and so will your romance.

That's not what I meant, uncle.

Just share your ideas on romance.

When I think of romance, the word that comes to my mind is matchmaker.

That's what brings two people together.

And you can give any name to it...

Anju... I mean... Meena... Gita...

You can call it anything you want.

When did your first fight take place?

No. We don't fight much.

Exactly.

What is your best memory with each other?

There isn't just one. We have many memories.

For example...

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

What's the point of thinking of past memories?

We are getting married to create memories.

- Right? - Yes.

We will create memories.

I'll start.

My blessings and good wishes for Hardik and Krina.

They have a long journey ahead of them.

- It will be full of ups and downs. - Mostly downs.

Hardik. Krina.

Be there for each other during good and bad times.

And if one of you can't muster courage...

...the other one should step up.

If one stays quiet, the other one should speak up.

No matter what you do, stay together.

Time is very valuable.

If life gives you a chance at happiness...

...grab it without missing a beat.

If you hesitate or get scared, it will be too late.

You'll miss the train.

And some trains run even without a driver.

Was that directed at me?

- No. It was not directed at you... - I know what you meant.

Come on. The interview is still on.

[LAUGHING]

[COUGHS]

Hardik and Krina.

We should...

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Pankor... Pankor! You're taking it the wrong way.

Why did you come back into my life?

How could I have known this would happen?

If you wanted to come into my life, you should've done it years ago.

You should have read the letter and replied to it!

I'm asking you for the twenty-seventh time!

What letter?

The letter in which.

I poured out my heart's feelings.

I even waited for you at our hangout to get your reply.

When did you give me a letter?

I didn't give it to you.

I gave it to your best friend Newton.

And I asked him to pass it on to you.

- [FOOTSTEPS] - [CROW CAWING]

Newton?

- 'For Hasmukh? - Yes.'

Pankor!

Oh, Marie Curie!

Why did you give the letter to Newton?

He had a huge crush on you.

And...

You...

If that were the case, you should've said it to me in person.

You should have at least heard my reply.

I thought...

I thought you didn't have feelings for me.

Of course, I did.

I had them back then and even now...

I feel the same way about you even now.

No. I'll do it.

I'll have to do it after you leave this house anyway.

You'll have to form a few new habits, dad.

That's what you said, didn't you?

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

You should form new habits.

I need to forget...

...a few old ones.

[FLUTE SOUND]

[TRAFFIC AMBIENCE]

Actually, I messed up.

I never got selected for any audition.

If I had been honest with Krina to begin with...

...she wouldn't be marrying Hardik today.

It's too late now. They're getting married.

Exactly! They are getting married.

They are not married yet. We still have a chance.

We should stop the wedding.

Look. What is done is done.

We need to accept the truth.

- But I still love her. - But she's with someone else.

This is the reality for many people.

There is a difference between them and me.

I'm a fighter.

And sometimes, you need to fight for your love...

...even if it means fighting with the person you love.

All this sounds very impressive in...

...motivational videos and self-help books.

Not in real life.

Don't you love Hardik?

I came to you for help because I thought you'd understand me.

[BANGLES JINGLING]

Sammy...

Just listen to me once.

I'm really sorry for everything.

Krina, I've been feeling so guilty for so long.

The truth is...

...that I didn't have the courage to hurt you at the library.

That's why I lied to you about the audition.

I couldn't crack it.

Why didn't you say it to me before?

Your reaction scared me.

[BANGLES JINGLING]

There's no fun left in my life or in my work.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

I always thought...

...that my priority was my business.

But I realised...

...that without you...

...and without your little games...

...even business is no fun.

What's the point of telling me this now?

You were right.

I didn't give your passion its due respect.

Do you know?

I just wanted you to be successful in everything you did in life.

And I just wanted to be a small part of it.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

But the way I went about it was wrong.

That's why, when we decided to elope, I just couldn't come!

I didn't have the guts to face you.

I was a failure.

I'm sorry. You were right.

I am a bad actor.

Since the past one month, I've given up on that dream.

I am working as a trainer in a gym.

This was your idea, right?

Remember?

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

For me, you, your business...

...your life... All of it was one.

But you wanted to keep everything separate.

Janvi, to tell you the truth...

...seeing you here...

...makes a part of me very happy.

But now...

It's too late now.

Look. I'm sorry.

But I still love you.

Sammy, I can't hurt my father again.

Hardik, I know you are getting married in fifteen minutes.

But before you get married...

...I want to tell you one last thing.

I still love you, Hardik.

The pause you are taking...

...proves that you still love me.

Yes, I still love you.

But what about it?

Tell me the truth.

Do you love her?

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

- Kookie! - Your dog is very cute.

Yours too.

Listen, sweetheart. You've never been useful to me.

But today, you need to do something for your grandpa.

Will you do it?

Let's shake hands on that note!

That's my girl!

Come here.

Kookie, listen. Give this letter to your grandma.

Wrong grandma! Wrong grandma!

[HORN HONKS]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Come here!

What is it?

- Sit inside. - Hasmukh, are you serious?

The ceremony is about to start, and you want to go on a ride!

Trust me. We'll be back before the ceremony starts.

Please sit inside.

But where are we going?

- Sit! - Hasmukh...

- Hey! Let's go. - Yes.

[ENGINE REVVING]

The in-laws have eloped!

Grandpa!

Sir, please enunciate the mantras so that God could understand.

Sure.

There's no hurry. Take your time with the ceremony.

No short-cuts.

Consider this wedding as a research opportunity.

You won't find more interesting characters anywhere.

Move!

Why is he always running when I see him?

It's a case of much ado about nothing.

- Don't enter the altar with your shoes on! - Hey!

- Shoes... - The in-laws are missing!

Missing! Did they elope?

You're the priest! Keep your voice down! There's no need to shout.

Chant a few mantras! 'Om! Peace unto all!'.

- Stop shooting! - This is not a documentary! - Uncle Pintoo!

Switch off the camera and the microphone!

- Stop it! - But I...

Where did you see them?

I saw them with my familiar eyes.

Hello, Mahesh. Have you left from home?

Don't leave.

The function is over. We are leaving.

Everyone, please sit!

I request everyone to sit.

The buffet will start soon.

The food will be served soon. Please sit.

The food will be served soon! Please sit.

What will we do now?

- [BIRDS CHIRPING] - [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

We missed many opportunities in our lives, didn't we?

It's as if time has been playing hide-and-seek with us.

And it won.

But I want to steal a small moment from time.

As our relationship changes, our feelings will have to change too.

We have to look at each other differently.

But before we do that...

...just one moment...

So... What are your plans after you graduate?

I want to be a professor.

What about you?

I haven't planned that far ahead.

My parents are asking me to get married.

Tell me, 'Fattu'.

What should I do?

You and your reservations about everything!

- No. That's not true. - What is it then?

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Your major is accounts.

That's why you have a hard time articulating in words.

But I understand.

Shall we go now?

Do we have to?

The ceremony will begin any moment now. Let's go.

[FOOTSTEPS]

What are you doing here?

How could you elope with the mother of the groom?

Why did you choose this place to elope?

We didn't elope.

- We were just... - We came here...

...to discuss a few formalities.

Here? Why?

Why did you come here?

Because you both are not going to be in-laws now.

What do you mean, dad?

- I can explain. - Hold right there!

You will take too long to explain in English.

I'll explain.

'Grandpa and I went to look for Hardik and Krina.'

'Krina and Sammy were looking for Hasmukh... '

'...whereas Hardik and Janvi went looking for Pankor.'

- 'And all of us ran into each other. - Hey!'

'Hey! Why are you here?'

- 'Did you call her? - No.'

'I didn't call her.'

'Hey, karate kid. What are you doing here?'

'I came here to stop the wedding.'

'Whose wedding?

Did Hasmukh and Pankor run away because of you?'

- 'Who are they? - He's talking about my dad.'

'And Pankor is my mom.'

'But I am in love with Krina.'

'But Krina is in love with Hardik.'

'You said you love me.'

'I do.'

'Hang on. I'm in love with Janvi.'

'And I love Sammy.'

'Does that mean you're in love with a girl you're not marrying...'

'...and that you're marrying someone you don't love?'

'What are you saying, uncle?'

'Are you planning to ruin the lives of these two girls?'

'No, I'm not.

No, uncle. Even I don't want to marry Hardik.'

'Did you hear that?'

'And you're realising that now!'

'You love her. And you love her.'

'Then why did Pankor and Hasmukh run away?'

'I've told you so many times...'

'...that they're the ones who love each other.'

'Sounds like an old love story. They were college mates.

Right.'

- 'But where did they go? - I have no idea.'

'Where could they be?'

'This step-well is in many photos.'

'Look. Here it is again. Was it a special place?'

'Hang on.'

'I think I know where they are.'

'At their special place.'

- 'Let's go. - This way!'

'We're supposed to go the other way.'

So, we came here looking for you.

How could you believe what Kukku said?

Are you both sure...

...that you don't want to marry each other?

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

We've paid so much for the wedding...

That's why we came here...

...looking for the bride and groom.

But, dad, this time, a lukewarm proposal won't do.

You have to propose to her in a grand manner.

And, mom... Don't think too much. Just say yes...

...so that we could be next.

You guys are really putting me in a spot.

Dear Pankor...

- Is it okay if I do it while standing? - Yes, it will do.

Dear Pankor.

I am not charming like Rajesh Khanna or Shah Rukh Khan.

I was not romantic back then...

...nor am I romantic now.

But I fell in love with you...

...the moment you hazed me at our college.

'Fattu'!

We stayed apart all these years, precisely because I was 'Fattu'.

But look at us now. Destiny had better plans for us.

I fell in love with you all over again...

...when I saw you in this version.

I just have one regret.

If I had shown more courage back then...

...none of this would've happened.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

But I won't...

...repeat that mistake.

I love you, Pankor.

Pankor Papadwala...

...will you marry me?

[WHISTLING]

'They say love only grows stronger...'

'...with age.'

'The wedding expenses didn't go to waste.'

'The father of the bride became the groom.'

'As soon as they took the leap... '

'...it cleared the path for everyone else.'

'While someone decided to make a new start, even though late... '

'...another one decided...'

'...to execute an old plan.'

'And eventually, everyone ended up with...'

'...the person they were meant to be with.'

'And that's how we found our first story.'

'The moral of the story is...'

'Don't take too long to make a fresh start.'

'And whether it's a story or a feeling... '

'...don't wait too long to express it.'

'In short, as they say... '

'...all's well that ends well.'
