Badhaai Do (2022) Movie Script
1
How many more cups of tea
before you wake up?
Do you come to my parents'
only to drink tea?
Just take a laxative!
Mummy, can I skip school today?
No! You are not skipping school anymore!
So, it's decided, right?
Yes, sure.
Mom, if you've already decided,
then why have this family meeting?
We dropped all our
morning chores to be here!
When it came to our marriages,
there was no such discussion!
But of course
he's the son of the house!
When it comes to his marriage,
caste, religion, nothing matters!
Auntie, they're even ready to
let him marry a Muslim girl!
I wasn't even allowed to choose
a boy from our own caste.
You had an affair before our marriage?
It was just an example!
You really have zero imagination!
-Look
-Yes.
it's not like we readily agreed, right?
He's been adamant since four years
that he won't marry anyone except her.
So, what should we do?
Let him remain a bachelor forever?
And can't you see
how noble your brother is?
He's upheld our family honor
for the last four years.
Absolutely, Mom!
He's been living alone
in Dehradun all this while.
He could've easily eloped if he wanted.
But, did he?
Baby
what do you think?
What will Auntie say?
It's been a year
and she still can't decide
whether she wants her cataract
operated or not.
Enough, now!
Auntie Baby, please speak up.
What can I say?
If his father were around,
he'd have counseled him.
He passed away eight years ago.
Is it still his responsibility?
Baby, say something.
He is your only son!
You seem to have lost two biscuits.
Really?
Really?
A naughty bunny
nibbled them away last night!
Come on, sir!
Any more photos?
Can't see any more.
She's not on my friend list.
You think they're a good match?
I mean, our brother's so fit
and she's kinda plump, no?
So what? Nothing like some
meat to grab onto!
I meant
I was just trying to say that
She should be healthy, right?
You tell us.
What do you think?
I think
That we should meet Naaznin's family.
-No!
-Yes.
-And fix a date!
Yes.
He says we should
fix a wedding date!
Very well, then.
You'll gorge on sweets soon.
WOMEN POLICE STATION
Sir's here.
-Jai hind, sir!
-Jai hind!
Jai hind, sir!
WOMEN HELPLINE
Hello, Women Police Station.
Madam, Sections 354, 368, 498A
I'm bored dealing
with domestic squabbles.
If I had Section 302, 307
that would be exciting.
What's your problem?
Why do you want a transfer?
Other men would kill to get posted
at a Women's Police Station.
Let me open that for you.
And there's you, playing saint
in a garden of temptation!
People only come here
to rant about their in-laws,
or swap knitting
patterns and recipes.
And now there's a nursery
right behind my cabin.
Those yelling kids make my ears bleed.
I'm not enjoying it here, ma'am.
Are you here for enjoyment or work?
Tell me!
Have you seen the FIR
your team has typed?
Do you know how much the state
spends on Computer Training?
Go, get it redone!
Give that back.
It's stuck.
I'll get it opened.
Go.
OFFICE INCHARGE
That's the mouse, keep it down.
Naaznin.
Yes, sir?
What's this?
It's the report, sir.
You call this a report?
There are six fonts on one page.
Spacing, alignment
it's all a mess.
Come on, put your heart into it.
But it's an FIR, sir
Not a love letter.
-You think that's funny?
-Sorry, sir.
Hey, kiddos!
SUB INSPECTOR'S ROOM
Watch your tongue.
I'm your senior officer.
Redo this.
-Hold on a second.
-Okay, sir.
Hello, Auntie.
Hello, Shardul.
So, we had a discussion at home,
about you marrying Naaznin.
One moment.
Open this and give it to ma'am.
Okay.
Yes, Auntie.
Well, everyone's agreed!
What's the matter?
Aren't you happy?
How can I be happy, Auntie?
You all took so long to say yes,
she said yes to someone else.
Oh, God!
He's saying Naaznin got married.
Hello, Shardul.
What happened?
Did she really get married?
Yes Mom, do you want to
see her marriage certificate?
He hung up!
What now, Mom?
Why are you all so sad?
This is great news!
Let's find him a girl
from our own caste now!
Yes.
AMIRAH
IT SUITS YOU WELL
What are you doing?
Papa, the under-18
team selection is on.
The coach asked us
to shave our arms and legs.
Selectors are strict these days.
Check this out!
Everyone thinks I'm
your older brother.
We pointlessly got you
a fake underage certificate.
What is it?
Sumi?
"Tell her"
What do I tell her?
"Shave?"
Why would Sumi shave Naman's arms?
Text me. I'm running late.
Mom's vow of silence
includes texting as well!
Did she leave again?
Good going! Concentrate!
Well done, Kavita, Simran!
Vishakha, pass it to Vaishnavi!
Vaishnavi, shoot!
Come on Vaishnavi, concentrate!
Pass the ball.
Everyone, assemble here.
Get started.
Rotate!
Clockwise.
Anti-clockwise.
That dating app you told me to join.
A guy wants to meet up.
Go ahead!
Or do you want to chat endlessly?
Right!
Just don't get physical
on the first date.
Left!
Switch!
-Sir.
-I'll break your legs!
Wait till your Dad discovers your antics!
Think you can outrun me?
-Get in line!
-Sir.
Another Runaway Romeo, sir!
He left that girl and ran!
Sir.
Cops appear and love disappears?
-Sorry, sir.
-You think he'll be loyal?
One more?
Hey, stop!
Catch them!
Sir!
-What?
-"Laasbian", sir!
Lesbians? Get them out!
Come out, quick!
Come out now!
Why so shy?
Sir, please!
They're homos!
Sir!
We caught two homos.
Come on! Get in line!
Hey! Get lost, you two. Scoot!
Such people are
ruining this country.
But, sir
Shall I call your mother?
Do it properly.
-What's up?
-Go on, have a look!
-Sorry, sir.
-Here you go.
-Think you're in a park?
-Sorry, sir!
Left!
Left, right, left! Left!
-Ms. Suman!
-Left, right, left! Left!
Someone's here for you.
-Good morning, ma'am.
-Good morning, ma'am.
Sumi's a very senior teacher here.
Didn't you say she's very fair?
She looked very different in the photo.
She's much darker in person.
Not at all!
-Sumi, unzip your jacket.
-What?
Don't be shy, it's just us!
See!
What are you doing?
See how fair she is!
Come with me!
She's just got a bit tanned
being on the field everyday.
She won't be working
after marriage anyway.
Why would I quit my job?
Then who'll take care
of the house?
Whose house is it?
As of now, it's a rented place.
But my Sanju has bought
a big plot of land in Daalanwala!
-Really! In Daalanwala?
-Yes.
Can I see his picture?
I meant Sanju's picture,
not your husband's!
This is Sanju!
Oh!
By the way,
auntie probably didn't tell you
I was engaged once before.
But just before the wedding,
the boy passed away.
Sanju's your only child, right?
Are you willing to take such a big risk?
Hey, Kusum!
Tell your mother
to never call me again!
Kusum! Listen to me!
What did you say to Auntie Priya?
Did you see the guy's picture?
He was an uncle!
You're 31 already.
Are you expecting young boys?
You'd be lucky to even get an "uncle."
New excuses every time!
What excuses?
I did like a boy once, right?
Agreed to marry him as well.
Remember what happened?
He's been dead for six years!
Even his parents
would've moved on by now.
But you still won't let go!
Am I destined to remain
a wedding guest forever?
What future do you have?
Couldn't you become
a Math or Science teacher?
Became a sports teacher instead!
You can't even take up private tuition!
So, now you're concerned
about my future?
Why didn't you let me pursue handball?
I was selected for the nationals!
I could've landed a job
in the railways.
You went out of your way to get
this loser a fake certificate.
Was he selected?
What did he achieve?
Want a loudspeaker?
Go on, tell the entire neighborhood!
Don't you act cheeky with me.
Didn't you tell him?
I paid for your fake certificate!
Whiny little Mama's boy!
-Mom!
-Tell me something.
Why can't you play with boys your age?
Because he's a duffer!
My colleague Urvashi,
she stays near the school.
I'm moving in with her.
We'll split the rent.
Papa, are you listening to me?
-Prem?
-I'm leaving!
-Always after me--
-Hi!
Those documents I gave you
Here.
All done?
How much?
Bye!
Saw that?
She's younger than you.
See how she flirts with me!
Papa, I'm serious!
I'm leaving home.
I can't take your wife's
daily taunts anymore.
What will people say?
Couldn't get our girl married,
so we washed our hands off her?
Why do you take
mom's words to heart?
Learn from your father.
Turn a deaf ear to her.
And we can live in peace.
Peace will arrive in our house
only once she departs.
That's going to be one helluva long wait!
You should also move with me!
Why be stuck with that old hag?
Maybe you'll find someone
to flirt with as well.
Yeah, right!
What is it?
-It's Sumu.
-Hello!
Hello, Nonu!
Ask, "How are you?"
How are you?
I'm great! How about you?
I'm fine as well.
-Bye.
-What?
Damn, she ran away!
She misses you a lot.
-Keeps asking, "Where's Sumu?"
-Why have you called?
I'm coming home next week.
Let's meet?
Don't avoid me this time.
Just focus on your family, okay?
CAN WE MEET?
-Hello.
-Sorry, but I'm waiting for someone.
Suman Singh?
Raju.
Surprised?
Suman!
Hold on for a moment, please!
Suman! Hear me out.
Just listen for a bit?
You don't like boys at all?
Try me out once!
Get away from me!
And don't try to
contact me ever again!
Have some roti.
-Hello?
-Hello, Suman. Raju.
I've got your number
with great difficulty.
Yes?
Photocopy this, please.
Chapter 16.1 to 16.3.
Go away or I'll report you.
Oh, really?
Go ahead.
I'll expose you as well.
Buddy!
Make it two copies.
Look
I'm requesting you.
Please stop bothering me.
I'm also requesting you.
I'm not asking
you to be my girlfriend.
Just do it once.
20 rupees.
20?
Bye, ma'am!
Who was that?
Ex-student.
-Name?
-Suman.
Ti--
Hello, Mom. What is it?
No, I've not seen the photos.
I'm on duty.
My heartbreak's still fresh.
I'm not done grieving yet.
At least let my wounds heal!
I'll call you later.
I'm busy.
Yes, later. Bye.
-Title?
-Singh.
-Punjabi?
-No, I'm a Thakur from UP.
Gender?
Take a guess?
Female of course.
This boy harassing you,
what's his name?
Rajeev Paadi-set
Paddisetti, sir.
Rajeev Paddisetti.
Squat!
Now that you look like a cock,
you better lay some eggs
for our dinner.
But hens lay eggs, not cocks.
Sorry, sir.
Being cheeky with a cop, engineer?
Should I wrench out your nuts?
Come on, show me your hand.
-Hand in front, now!
-Sir, please, not my hands.
Sir, please.
-Do it now!
-Sir, please!
Sir, please, not the right hand.
I have an exam tomorrow.
Ma'am!
-Namaste, sir.
-Namaste.
-Did you find him?
-Of course!
He won't bother you again.
I told him off.
-Just told him off?
-Yes.
Why didn't you beat him
naked on an ice-slab?
You could've broken his limbs at least!
I
"Told him off"
I mean
Don't worry.
He won't harass any lady again.
Sorry! "Lady" suits older women
You are
you're young. A girl.
Fresh as a daisy!
Sir, I--
What do you teach?
Social Sciences?
No. Physical Education.
Oh, P.T!
I'll get going.
Yeah, sure.
I'm never assigned any senior classes.
She doesn't tell me a word.
I'll be back.
Hello!
What are you up to?
Are you stalking me?
Women go to the police
for their safety.
Where do we go if
policemen start stalking us?
Hey
It's not what you think.
-This isn't a police matter.
-Then, what is it?
Can I speak to you
for two minutes? Alone?
Why?
It's kind of a private matter.
First of all, thanks for
coming here with me.
Couldn't you find a better place?
There won't be any disturbance here.
Like I said, it's a personal matter.
Go on.
Sure.
So, as you mentioned in the report,
you're from the Thakur caste,
female, age 31.
There must be pressure
from your family to get married?
I'm 32, the same caste.
What are you suggesting?
That we get married?
Damn, I was so nervous!
You just spoke my mind!
This is great!
Look, brother
I was engaged once
and the groom died two
weeks before the wedding.
How?
In an accident!
Was he driving? Where?
Which police station?
Is this an interrogation?
Don't you get it?
I'm cursed. Deadly cursed!
Hey, one second!
Hold on.
Please sit.
Two minutes, please.
Look, I
Sorry. Protein shake.
Look, I'm pretty broad-minded.
I don't believe in curses!
And honestly, I feel we are
a match made in heaven.
Don't you get it?
I have no interest in marriage.
-I don't want to get married!
-I know!
What do you know?
Raju told me
that you have zero interest in men.
I get it.
That's fine by me!
Look
just like you're
not interested in men right?
But
What?
You know
I
You know what I mean
-What?
-I'm I'm just like you.
I'm homosexual.
-What are you?
-Homosexual!
Who's there?
Sirohi!
Sirohi!
-Jai hind, sir!
-Wha what did you hear, Sirohi?
Nothing, sir.
But don't worry,
your secret's safe with me!
What what secret, Sirohi?
That you and ma'am
here
Yeah, we were just
-Now scoot, come on!
-Carry on, sir!
Get going!
Actually
You think he heard me?
-So
-Water?
Yes, water
No, it's okay. Thanks.
-So, what was I saying?
-That you're gay.
Yes, I am
So, I was saying that if we get married
our families will get off our backs.
Right?
And then we can live in peace.
Live freely, together
Like roommates?
How can I be sure you're gay?
The state doesn't give certificates
to prove it, right?
I am what I am. Right?
Anyway, why would someone
just say they're gay?
Doesn't make sense, right?
What do you say?
Plus, you'll be under my protection!
-Ma'am, a bit to the left.
-Yes.
A little more.
Raise your legs. Outward!
And smile!
What a pretty pair of swans!
Sarita, Vinita, Nishita, Udita,
and myself Rekha.
Dad finally gave up his dream
of having a son after me.
I'm Dr. Anup Parihar.
Doctor of Homeopathy.
-My brother-in-law.
-Namaste.
Let's raise a toast!
Let's raise a toast!
Let's raise a toast!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no! No!
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Raise a toast!
The moon and lovebird
Entwined by a thread of fate
Families have joined the party
Uncles let loose and gyrate
The couple have blissfully wed
Look how the bride blushes red
This moonfaced lass would pick our boy
Could anyone have guessed?
Oh, no! No!
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Raise a toast!
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Raise a toast!
Shanti, you're here.
Sir, please have a seat!
Please come.
Naaznin didn't come?
A heaven-made union
Never to be undone
No one quite knows
Where the plots lead here-from
A couple of parched souls in heat
Here comes the proverbial twist
Quickly gather cotton
Assemble a fluffy quilt
Oh, no! No!
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Raise a toast!
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Raise a toast!
Sir, now that the kids are married
if you could get them
a flat at the police colony.
Dance and raise a toast!
Dance and raise a toast!
Dance and raise a toast!
Dance and raise a toast!
Raise a toast!
Raise a toast!
Raise a toast!
Raise a toast!

Hi. Are you ready?
Yeah.
Shall we head out?
No, actually Kabir's coming,
so I'll be with him.
Oh
so you're on a real honeymoon!
Good for you.
How much?
-Hi.
-Yeah?
Your family wants a selfie,
shall we take one?
Selfie? Yeah, sure.
This hotel's pretty fancy.
Must be expensive, right?
It's Kabir's choice, after all.
Where's Kabir?
Kabir
I've been calling and
texting him since morning.
No response.
No idea where he is, or what he's up to.
You know, I've never spoken
about Kabir to anyone till date
except you.
Thank you!
-The selfie?
-Come--
Yeah, of course!
Let me put this glass away
or they'll think I've been drinking.
A bit closer.
Sorry.
You know what?
Let's do this tomorrow.
Sure, tomorrow it is!
No big deal.
Where are you going?
Sit for a while!
No, I'll carry on.
I'm a cop!
Don't be nervous!
Come! Come, sit.
So did you always
want to join the police?
Police?
Are you kidding?
I just
I wanted to be this.
One second, wait.
What are you doing, Shardul?
-Please! It's okay.
-Wait a minute.
Look here.
See?
See those pecs.
Yeah!
Look, triceps.
These were double the size
a decade ago!
Look at this.
Touch it?
Hard as a rock!
Back.
Can you see it?
Abs see these abs?
This
See?
This
See what I wanted to be
"Mr. India"!
How can I see?
Mr. India's invisible, right?
-You're making fun of me
-No.
Fine, go ahead.
Make jokes.
Destiny already played
the biggest joke on me.
Although
I trained my ass off for three years.
Sweat it out at the
gym for six hours, daily!
Never took steroids or anything.
You know Pumping Iron?
I watched it 35 times!
I flicked the VCD from a store.
Watched it every day!
What?
Did you say something?
-No.
-Okay.
And then the year I was
to enter the competition
my father kicked the bucket!
He was martyred, right?
Yeah, he was martyred.
My dream of becoming Mr. India
was also martyred with him.
The government offered me this job.
People in our country don't
even let go of a bus seat.
Would you?
Of course, you wouldn't!
How could I let go
of a government job?
Imagine, a gay man in the police!
I fear the police
more than criminals do.
What if someone finds out?
Have you watched Robocop?
Robocop?
Robo
Well, I'm
Homocop!
That's right, I'm Homocop!
Who am I? Homocop!
And if
-Shardul?
-It's okay. I'm okay.
Did I not eat last night?
Right there.
Hi.
Kabir. He arrived this morning.
Suman.
I'll grab some breakfast, and then
we can all honeymoon together?
Tiger!
I'll be back.
Hey!
Is he a schoolboy?
He looks so young!
Of course not!
He's doing his MBA.
Even alone in my room
It's your presence I feel
Upon the cradle of my thoughts
I carry you with me
When you put your palm on mine
Our lifelines shall intertwine
Now all that separates us
Is a distance of few steps
Seeking assent
Seeking assent
Seeking assent
Assent, yours and mine
Amid tiny window panes
In the verandah of my heart
Peeking mischief a pair of eyes truant
Scribbling a request
With crooked alphabets
A song of love
Whispering sweet nothings
A silken thread away
This breathy distance
Seeking assent
Seeking assent
Seeking assent
Assent, yours and mine
You've been together for three years.
Doesn't he have any problem
with this marriage?
No. Why would he?
How did you two meet?
Blow into this.
Blow into this.
Carry on.
This isn't working. Hold this.
Stop the car. Stop!
Are you drunk?
No, sir.
Really?
In my hand.
Now.
Do it!
But sir, you told me to
I asked you to blow, not spit!
-Get some water! Come out!
-Sorry, sir. Really sorry!
-Get out!
-I'm very sorry, sir.
He spat!
Bye!
At least say bye properly.
I did, of course! Let's go.
-How much?
-1,000 rupees.
Got 500 bucks?
I don't.
All expenses will be split equally.
We're roommates, after all
not an actual couple.
That's your room
and this is mine.
Aren't we a little
too cut off from the city?
It's better this way.
No one knows us here.
There's zero risk.
Let's move to Siberia then!
There's no one there.
I've been waiting since
7:00 p.m., Shardul!
Why are you making
a big deal out of it?
I'm sorry I got late.
Let's move on, please!
Why are you ruining the mood?
Come on
Why does it always have to be me?
Shardul, you know I have a problem.
Why do you say
we're versatile then!
Versatile, my foot!
This isn't fair.
I also feel like
Look, if it's such a problem,
then let it be!
-I'll leave.
-Kabir!
Get up.
Prem, your entire machinery
is rusting from inside.
You only look young on the outside.
Hello
I've come to the doctor with Papa.
No, I won't come today.
Ask Shardul to come home.
Okay, bye.
I've prescribed some tests.
Let's find out
where the problem lies.
Naman!
Naman?
Naman?
Where did he disappear?
What?
Now, I
Listen.
The clinic's on your way, right?
What's this?
The doctor asked for a stool test.
What the hell, Papa!
At least pack it discreetly!
What's wrong?
-It's an airtight container!
-Please!
Millennium Pathology.
Yes sir, we have all the tests.
Yes, sir.
I need a urine test.
You can put your sample in this
and go to that cabin over there.
Okay.
Sample?
Here.
This much!
-Sorry.
-No. One second.
This much is enough for a sample.
If you could
-Okay.
-Yeah.
Must be half a kilo of shit!
I've kept the sample.
What about the rest?
I flushed it down.
Okay.
Rimjhim, when shall I come
to collect the test results?
You needn't come.
Why?
You'll get the reports online.
While on the straight and narrow
Our eyes committed an offense
At night they break the law
By day they feign defense
While on the straight and narrow
Our eyes committed an offense
Again?
This isn't mine!
This is for Pinky.
Okay.
Pinky!
Didn't you get the reports?
I did.
Then?
I wanted to get a test.
Which one?
There are many different kinds of tests.
Blood sugar, blood culture,
sugar, hypoglycemia.
Eye test, hearing test, urine test,
CT scan, MRI, PT scan, ECG, EEG, X-ray.
Or AIDS?
Why would I get tested for AIDS?
No.
I'll get this one, for 299 rupees.
You flowed into my life
Like a cool evening breeze
You're a knock that bruised me
And the balm that soothes me
You flowed into my life
Like a cool evening breeze
You're a knock that bruised me
And the balm that soothes me
Feeling scared?
You can hold my hand.
Your beauty's boundless
And I'm obsessed
The eyes, once restless
Focus on you, relentless
While on the straight and narrow
Our eyes committed
Sure you want to give blood?
An offense
We could have coffee instead.
So, fully legal?
There were about 500 guests
at the wedding.
You live like a normal couple?
More like flatmates.
We even have separate rooms.
We're not even friends, really.
And your families?
They have no idea?
Look I wanted to be
completely honest with you
so, we don't have problems later.
That's cool.
My parents don't even speak to me.
I thought my sister
would understand
but she won't even let me
near my niece now.
Why did you tell them?
I thought they're family,
they'd understand.
But, no.
No one understands, man.
Because we're different,
they think we're perverts.
And why must we
explain ourselves, anyway?
This is just a part of us.
It doesn't define who we are.
Get away from the railing!
Move back!
No, we won't come down!
Hey, get away from the railing!
Move back!
Move back from the railing!
Sirohi, don't scold them.
Cajole them.
Yes, sir.
Look kids
life is a God-given gift.
Don't throw it away in a fit of passion!
And suicide is a crime.
You know that, right?
We've called your parents.
-They've agreed to your demands.
-Jai hind, sir.
Are these lovebirds
building a nest up there?
Get them down!
Call them if you don't believe us.
Shardul, call for sweets.
Your work is done!
Get ready to shift.
Thank you, sir!
Thank you, ma'am!
Why, ma'am?
Thank your aunt!
She's the one who requested me.
My aunt?
She asked me to get a flat allotted
for you in the police colony.
You can shift on Monday.
Don't mess up your lives.
All eyes are on you!
All eyes are on you!
Great! At least we're in the city now.
Good morning, sir.
Start unpacking.
-Shardul.
-Yeah?
-What the hell?
-What?
I got the smaller room in Goa,
the last house, and here as well?
Yeah! The house is allotted to me,
as part of my allowance.
Fine.
My rent contribution
will be smaller as well.
Hey!
Where are the car keys?
In my pocket.
What happened?
It's a gift from my father,
not your dowry!
-Hello!
-Hello!
-Why don't you drop by sometime?
-Yes, of course.
But first, you must
come over with sir!
We can't hire housemaid here.
It's risky!
Fine. All chores will be split equally.
Nice!
Traffic control, please take note.
I sent my maid to your place.
You didn't hire her?
-Yes, actually--
-We don't need one!
She does all the work!
School gets over by afternoon anyway.
She gets bored at home.
-We're getting repeated calls
-Sir.
from number 420.
-Ma'am, please sit.
-Please come.
Alpha three, come in.
Go make us some tea!
Ma'am, we got this flat.
Thanks to sir.
Now if you put in a word,
I could get a transfer from
the Women's Station.
It's been three years.
No kickbacks, no income.
It's parched out there, sir!
Now that you're living above me,
you think you can
dance on my head?
Sir
Cheetah one to Tango three.
Tango three to Cheetah one, copy.
Street dogs have wreaked havoc
in the neighborhood.
Swing your batons at them.
That'll scare the dogs away.
-I'll be back in a second.
-Okay.
Why aren't you making tea?
It's your turn today. You make it!
Keep it low, I have a
reputation to maintain!
If you hold your reputation
so dear, watch your tongue!
Got it?
I'm not your servant.
Acting cocky in front of your boss!
Of course not!
It's just to make us look
convincing as man and wife!
Really? Should I chase
you with a broom then?
You'll do all the chores today.
Wash the dishes and the bathroom.
For the entire week.
Okay?
Say, "you will."
Say it!
I will.
Please have some.
Sumi makes amazing fritters.
Ketchup?
Dogs are roaming in a pack,
five or six of them.
Please reassure the public
that the police is at their service.
Hello?
The public and the dogs,
they're both a nuisance.
The green chutney? Get it.
Scare both the public and dogs with
batons if needed, to maintain order.
You've really given him free rein!
Take charge, or he'll lord over you!
Very impressive!
Best to grab the reins early,
then they stay under control!
Control room, please note--
Occupied!
The next destination
You alone know
Every hidden treasure
You alone know
To find daylight in darkness
You alone know
How we pacified the heart
You alone know
We are contented
You are stupendous
You are stupendous
Bringing calm to the mind
You are that soothing thought
I was an obedient one
Want to come home?
But
But my eyes have captivated you
Yes, they have
Hi.
Rimjhim.
Title?
What?
Title?
Miss?
-Surname.
-Jongkey.
Who's that?
Who's she?
Ms. Bathroom?
She's a friend.
Really?
Here, at home?
Does she know about us?
You told her?
So, Kabir knows about us as well!
But I've never brought Kabir here!
So, get him!
Have I stopped you?
Are you crazy?
This is a police colony.
I'm a cop!
What if someone finds out?
What's the big secret?
Is there some "good news"?
No, of course not!
We're still kids ourselves!
I got you temple offerings from Shirdi.
Cousin just got back.
-Sir's cousin?
-My cousin.
Your cousin!
Who's she?
-She's--
-Cousin.
Whose cousin?
Your cousin.
Yours got back from Shirdi, right?
This one's Sumi's cousin.
Her real cousin!
Timtim Jhilmil.
-Rimjhim.
-Rimjhim.
So, she's Sumi's sister?
Yes.
Namaste.
Good morning.
She's convent-educated,
so, she speaks in English!
What's this?
Is she going to stay here?
She's my cousin, right?
So, she can stay with me.
Those bags there,
put them up in the loft.
-One second. What?
-Bye.
Hey, please keep that over there.
-This?
-Yeah.
Passport!
It's blank! You didn't go anywhere?
Then, why'd you get one made?
I told you about Komal, right?
Komal.
A few months after marriage,
she came back pregnant.
Her parents live two streets away.
Obviously, we started meeting again.
She made me do all the
chores during her pregnancy.
Nonu was born to her,
but she felt like my own child.
She was so tiny when she was born!
Such tiny little hands and feet.
When she got her first shot,
I cried louder than her.
That baby-smell of hers, Rimjhim
wow!
I would hold her
in my arms for hours.
Only I could put her to sleep.
Then Komal's husband came
and took them both back to Delhi.
I didn't feel as bad
about Komal's marriage
as I did about being
separated from that child.
I wanted a child
so, I agreed to get married.
Whenever that guy touched me
I felt so repulsed
and sick.
I even contemplated suicide.
Look at the irony.
Two weeks before marriage, he died.
Poor guy.
That's when I realized
that if I want a child
I'd have to move abroad.
So, I got a passport made.
I tried my best.
Filled many applications
but nothing happened.
I don't have any suitable qualifications.
Well, you shouldn't have
any problem now.
You have a husband.
You can go for IVF.
I want to adopt.
A child will get a home,
and my dream will be fulfilled as well.
I have a passport.
So do you.
Let's go abroad
and have a child!
If she stays here, expenses
will be split three-ways.
A kid with him?
She'll have to do the dishes as well.
Dude, mommy had warned
No romantic shenanigans
Get into an arranged and simple alliance
Like the neighbor's kid who eloped and ran
Told you not to follow after that dunce
Dude, mommy had warned
No romantic shenanigans
Get into an arranged and simple alliance
By God, rightly, destiny would have it not
The heart beats wild
Says love you lots
Should we add her name as well?
My head flew in a tizzy
So hard this heart was shot
Lassie's hot!
Lassie's hot!
So hard this heart was shot
Lassie's hot!
Hi!
Lassie's hot!
-Hello, how are you?
-That's fine.
I'll get Sumi.
We've come to meet you as well.
Namaste.
Mom, how come you're here suddenly?
Who's this?
-She's--
-She's Sumi's cousin.
What?
What?
Come on!
How can she be Sumi's cousin?
She's my cousin!
Real cousin!
That which is to happen will happen
Why shed tears, worry without cause
What we have today
We may not tomorrow
Embrace this joy, it's now or never
Such a gay thing!
Go with the flow!
-Hello.
-Kabir, can't hear you!
Hello?
Let me in your heart now
By God, rightly, destiny would have it not
The heart beats wild, says love you lots
This crazy head spins like a top
When are you giving
us some "good news"?
Everyone's waiting here!
Did you book your tickets?
-It's Sumi's first Diwali with us!
-Yes.
This crazy head spins like a top
Lassie's hot!
Have some.
Lassie's hot!
This crazy head spins like a top
Lassie's hot!
This pairing of yours and mine
This love story, crazy, yea crazy bro
Freedom newfound, unfurling
Every shackle is shattering
I'm so confused, yeah
Everything's new, yeah
What shall I do, yeah
O God, show me the way
By God, rightly, destiny would have it not
The heart beats wild, says love you lots
This crazy head spins like a top
So hard it was got
Lassie's hot!
Lassie's hot!
This crazy head spins like a top
Lassie's hot!
How do you do all this?
What?
Whatever you were doing out there.
All that cringy PDA,
eating from the same plate.
-How do you do it?
-It's just an act, Rimjhim.
People must be convinced
that we're a real couple.
So, why don't you just
have sex in public?
Their doubt will be cleared forever!
Why are you shouting?
This is a police colony.
And what do you expect me to do?
Sit in your lap and shout,
"Rimjhim is my real partner,
not Shardul!"
Don't even try.
You don't have the courage.
Whatever drama you're playing,
I don't wanna be
a part of this anymore!
One day I'm your cousin,
the next day I'm his.
I can't do this anymore!
It's thanks to this "drama"
that we can stay together!
For the first time in my life, I'm
living in my own house on my terms.
It's a huge deal for me!
And for this, I will lie if I have to!
Thank God you are
just a sports teacher
or you'd definitely turn
all the kids into liars.
At least I'm a sports teacher.
What are you?
You just collect
people's poop and piss!
Is she leaving?
Why will she leave?
Don't couples argue?
But aren't we the couple here?
Three bedrooms, two parking slots.
There's no stamp duty either.
And the best part is that it's on
the way to your college in Mussoorie.
It's a great deal.
Once I get that house
CALL ME, MAN!
You could move there as a paying guest.
Kabir?
Kabir, are you listening?
What did I just say?
Two bedrooms, fab deal,
something like that.
Two bedrooms?
Hello?
Hey, bro.
What!
No, shit!
What are you saying!
Now?
Cool, I'm coming.
Thanks, bro.
I got to leave, man.
They revised the deadline,
submission's tomorrow now.
Sorry, man.
Where's your phone?
-Why?
-Show me your phone.
-I won't!
-Show me your phone.
-Why should I?
-I want to see it.
-Why?
-Show me your phone.
-I can't--
-Show me the phone!
Show me your phone!
What are you doing, Shardul? Let go!
Do you take me for an idiot?
Are you fooling around with me?
I'd been planning this for a month.
Especially took leave from office
to be with you, and you're
-Let go, Shardul, you're hurting me.
-Tell me, who is it?
-Leave me!
-Show me your phone.
-What are you--
-Show me the damn phone!
Sorry. Sorry.
Kabir. Kabir, sorry.
Kabir, I
I did it by mistake.
I didn't mean to hit you, Kabir.
Kabir! Kabir, sorry!
Kabir, sorry.
You can hit me back, Kabir!
Kabir
You know, this entire obsession
with bodybuilding and gymming
I got it from Dheeraj.
He was my first boyfriend.
My gym trainer.
He was ten years older than me.
Married, with kids.
Two of them.
He even took me on holiday
with his family once.
But we looked at life very differently.
After a point, I started resenting him.
I got bored.
Then I started avoiding him.
I'd keep ignoring his calls.
He called so many times, man!
Tried so hard to meet me.
I even changed my gym.
And you know what's funny?
Now I'm the Dheeraj
in Kabir's life.
But it's okay.
It really is. I deserve this.
I totally deserve it.
Bye, Sister!
HALDWANI
Greetings.
Is everyone here?
Yes! It's her first Diwali
here, we'll all celebrate together.
-Look, they're here!
-They are here.
-Greetings.
-How are you?
-May God bless you with a son!
-Greetings.
-Greetings, Uncle.
-Greetings.
Bless you.
May you have many sons!
Go, show them their room!
Why the special treatment?
I'll sleep in the room
with all the other men.
Don't act all innocent now.
Like we don't know what you're up to!
You really have no idea what he's up to!
I'll tell you all about it sometime.
Why don't you have water?
Come on!
For a boy, for a girl.
She's been prepared for 12 years now.
Now you need to do your bit.
So? It's almost been a year!
You've had your fun.
This lovey-dovey romance
doesn't last long.
You don't know our brother.
He's been a ladies' man
since his school days!
Oh, come on, you
Let me tell you one thing.
A child is the glue that
keeps a marriage intact.
One must have one's own kid.
Children are the greatest investment.
After a certain age,
who do you depend on?
On them?
It's only your child
who will look after you.
Where are you going?
To watch TV.
Look!
Wants to sleep during study-hours.
And when it's bed-time,
he wants to watch TV!
Kids are a headache!
You have no life left,
apart from running after them.
You're confusing me now.
Should one have kids or not?
Anshu!
Anshu! Where's this brat!
I'll remove the batteries
from the remote!
Anshu!
Your family's putting so much
pressure to have a baby.
Why don't we adopt a child?
Adopt? Are you nuts?
What do you mean?
Have you lost it? My family
doesn't believe in all this.
It's your folks who've lost it.
Going on and on
about having a baby.
Is there nothing else to talk about?
Well, they complain that
you backchat too much.
What do you expect me to do?
Be a mute doll?
It's just a matter of few days.
Play the dutiful daughter-in-law.
-Why are--
-Stop the rickshaw.
-Stop the rickshaw, now!
-What happened?
What happened?
Hey!
Where are you going?
What happened?
I thought gay men are more
sensitive than straight men.
But you're a total MCP!
MC-- What?
I said "MCP"!
Men who consider women
to be inferior beings!
Oh, that!
That's cool.
What does being gay have
to do with it? All men believe that!
Nonsense!
Hold on.
Being gay doesn't mean
one forgets one's values!
Really? If you have
such strong values,
why don't you go tell
your family the truth?
Tell them that the light of their
clan is a torch with no flame.
And that you cannot light
the hearth of their home!
-You're crossing a line now.
-Am I, really?
-Shardul!
-Really?
-You're here!
-Hey!
-Shardul--
-Greetings.
-Hello. God bless you.
-God bless you.
-Namaste.
-That's Mr. Sharma and Mrs. Sharma.
They live two houses away.
This is Suman.
Stay blessed, my dear.
She's so pretty!
You're very lucky, son.
Hey, mister!
How long will you take? Come on!
I'll be there in two minutes.
Both defending champions
are baying for each other's blood!
Here.
What will be today's result?
Does it hurt a lot?
Will this truly become
hell in a cell!
This is where men mount
other men night after night!
He tries to treat him like a kid--
What's all this violence?
Don't you watch films?
I do.
Okay.
Who's your favorite actress?
Tiger Shroff's my favorite.
Favorite actress?
Don't have one!
Do you have a girlfriend?
I don't like girls.
Really?
His teacher told me that
he kissed a girl in class.
What's her name?
Hey.
-He kissed a girl?
-That's right!
Anshu!
The bout which began aggressively
has seen everything now!
But the defending champion
cannot escape humiliation now!
And you thought he was
up against a kid!
Where have you been, man?
I poured myself a drink already.
Sumi has a headache.
I just went to give her balm.
Your brother-in-law's a doctor,
and you're depending on balm?
No, I just--
Let me have a look.
I'll fix the root cause of the pain!
-What is it, migraine?
-No, not a migraine.
Then what?
It's just, since we got here.
What?
Everyone's after her to have a baby.
It's stressing her out.
But they're right, aren't they?
Tell me.
It's almost a year since
you got married, right?
Look at me.
First night, single shot.
Job done!
She was like
It's my sister you're talking about!
What?
No! I'm not talking about
that kind of sex.
Sex for procreation
doesn't count as sex anyway.
It's a moral duty
towards your family.
Understood?
Let's have a drink?
Here's a piece of advice.
Have a kid while you're still young.
Or else imagine, you're
on your way to the funeral pyre,
and your son is so small,
that he's clapping,
"Papa is dead!
Papa is dead! Papa--"
Now you're killing me?
You're in some mood today.
What's Sumi's age, by the way?
Sumi's almost 32.
Don't forget that
after a certain age, women
start having complications.
By the way, your equipment's
working, right?
Of course! I'm perfectly fine!
What's the matter then?
What is the problem?
The problem, well
Come on, you can tell me.
No, you'll tell someone.
Of course not. I'm a doctor.
Many patients confide in me.
Tell me.
I've never told this to anyone.
Actually, I took Sumi to a doctor.
He said that Sumi
can't have a child.
She's barren?
Please don't tell anyone.
Of course not!
Whom would I tell?
-Hurry up, Nishi!
-Greetings.
Where's she stuck?
There
-Hey, Baby!
-See you!
Come on!
Do I have to come as well?
Yes! Come, get inside.
What will I do there?
Come, quick!
Why are we here?
Just meeting the
doctor for two minutes.
Then we'll go shopping.
Looks like a boy to me.
No, Mom. You were just
like this during Chutki.
It's going to be a girl.
Rekha!
Let's go.
Will all of you come along?
Sumi, come.
Come on.
Why didn't you tell me?
Tell you what?
That you're having issues
regarding the "issue"!
Issue?
"Issue"!
-Where are they?
-28
Call them and ask,
what's the issue?
-Hello.
-Where are you?
In the bathroom, giving a sample.
Bathroom?
Didn't you go to the market?
And, what sample?
Urine sample?
Why are you giving a
urine sample in the market?
I'm not at the market.
I'm in a hospital bathroom
where I'm supposed
to give a urine sample.
Why? What's the issue?
Forgot what you did last night?
You told your brother-in-law
that I can't get pregnant.
So, your family lied
and brought me here.
Now what?
Hang up, what else!
Or will you help me pee?
Couldn't hold it in, right?
-Stop the car.
-Aunt.
-I need to pee!
-Go on.
Told you I wasn't needed.
-Hang the flowers.
-No, give it to me.
-Give me the lights!
-But you--
-Shardul.
-I want to--
I'll be back.
Put it over here.
-Get the other one.
-Okay.
-Lower. Keep the gaps equal.
-There is a gap.
-Shardul!
-The leaves as well.
Shardul!
Come down!
Can't you see I'm busy?
Will you come down,
or should I come up?
Go downstairs, I'll come.
Why are the flowers so dry?
-Hey!
-Come down!
I'll fall! What are you doing!
Where will you run?
I'm a sports teacher.
I run after kids all day!
I have lots of stamina!
What did you tell your brother-in-law?
What did you say?
Don't you think before you speak?
Shardul, stop!
Shardul Thakur, I said stop!
This was your plan?
Now everyone knows.
Soon it'll be on your
"Thakur Rocks" WhatsApp group.
What will you do
once the reports arrive?
-Have you thought of that?
-Here you are!
It's time for the prayer ceremony.
And here's a gift for you.
-Thank you, Auntie.
-And this is for you.
Wear them.
Consistent with the tested sample
this specimen--
The reports are all fine!
So, was Shardul lying?
No!
Our boy would never lie!
Right, Baby?
No.
The girl must've said something.
Whenever you bring up the baby,
she starts sulking.
You think Shardul is a saint?
I think they're hand-in-glove.
But how?
Ever seen them talk
nicely to one another?
They're always fighting.
Pihu has noticed as well.
Tell them?
Yes! There's something fishy.
I even offered them my room.
They didn't even take it!
-They sleep separately.
-Tell me.
Which man keeps his hands
off his wife in the first year?
I think one of us
needs to go to Dehradun
to keep a watch on them.
You go.
I'm talking to you!
You're his mother, for God's sake!
Of course!
-Alright, Auntie.
-God bless!
Thank God the reports are fine.
Next time we meet,
the baby should be
in your arms, not your womb!
Let's go!
Yes.
Someone take my bags, please!
I'll help you.
Where are you going?
-To keep watch!
-I will take it.
She kept saying that she
wants to see her son's house!
So I said, you don't need
anyone's permission! Go ahead!
But what about her ticket?
I got her a quota ticket.
Pulled a few strings!
Okay hurry up,
or you'll miss the train!
Auntie, don't forget your BP medicine!
What will we do now?
Who are you calling?
Don't we need to inform Rimjhim?
God knows what will happen now.
Shall I sit in front?
Keep in touch!
Can't reach her.
HALDWANI
The number you have dialed
What's up?
God knows why she's
switched off her phone!
-That Timtim!
-Her name's Rimjhim!
-Why don't you call her lab?
-I don't have the number.
-Search the internet then!
-My data isn't working.
-How the hell is it not working?
-What are you doing?
Oh, yeah! Mine isn't working either.
Sumi
Sumu!
Give me her number.
I'll try calling her.
If I knew it, would I be sitting
here twiddling my thumbs?
Thank God, just the phone fell.
What if I had fallen too?
Look at the bright side!
Sir, is the train on time?
It'll reach in an hour.
-Jai hind, sir.
-Hi, Naaznin.
Hold on a second.
Naaznin, you know Millennium Lab,
at the Jogiwallah crossing?
Yes, sir.
Okay, go there and ask for Rimjhim.
Call me when you meet her.
Who's Rimjhim?
-She's a cousin.
-Whose cousin? Yours?
Whether she's my cousin, your cousin,
Sumi's cousin or my Dad's cousin
who gives a shit!
Just do as I say!
Jai hind!
You still talk to Naaznin?
She works with me at the station.
Should I not maintain law and order?
Hello, ma'am.
Does Rimjhim work here?
What are we doing?
We're waiting for a porter.
Yeah, Naaznin.
Yeah, give her the phone.
Hello?
I've been trying
to call you for hours.
Why's your phone switched off?
I'm getting my number ported.
Couldn't you do it another day?
Was I supposed to
ask your permission?
Listen, stop arguing now
and quickly pack your bags.
-Mom's coming over.
-Whose Mom?
God, my Mom!
Nice try!
I'm not lying, swear on my mum!
-I don't trust you!
-What?
She wants to talk to you.
She talks to Naaznin as well?
Yeah, we're all friends now.
Let's go.
Let's go.
-Taxi?
-Yes, sir?
-Are you available?
-Absolutely.
Take it via the toll!
But that's a longer route, sir.
It'll have less traffic,
take it from there.
I can take it via the clock
tower, it'll be quicker.
You'll teach a cop
what route to take?
Show your ID!
ID.
Show it to him, not me!
Okay, sir.
One second, take this turn.
No, actually take that turn.
What are you doing?
Turn in your direction.
No, go back!
Take that turn. What are you doing?
We're stuck in traffic now!
Jai hind, sir.
-Yeah, tell me.
-She's leaving, sir.
I've booked her an auto.
Okay, great.
Thank you, Naaznin.
Jai hind.
Why are you taking such a long route?
Take this left, it's a shortcut.
Sir, stop!
We've reached, Mom!
There's a beautiful park.
All facilities, no stress.
Take it easy, Mom.
SHARDUL THAKUR
S.I, UTTARAKHAND POLICE
You are here!
What the hell are you doing here!
You scared me!
Mom's here! You--
Breathe.
I can't find my wallet.
You are--
Mom's here.
Get out!
Actually, go inside!
-Don't step out!
-My wallet
-We're here.
-Hey--
This isn't our house!
-What?
-Our house is upstairs!
It's been such a long vacation,
Sumi must be confused.
-Which floor do you live on?
-Mom, let's go up.
Let's go.
My back hurts.
Just a bit more.
Come on, Sumi!
How could we forget our house!
Don't know what's going on.
Can't remember anything nowadays!
Mom, can you soak almonds
for me like you used to before?
-Sumi, you must have them as well.
-Yes!
They just melt in your mouth!
-How much further up?
-We're almost there.
Who knows, one day Sumi
might forget I'm her husband!
Here we are.
-The terrace?
-We've reached?
-It's the terrace!
-We have reached.
Look Sumi, Mom!
We're on the terrace!
-Wow, the terrace!
-What a beautiful view!
Mom! Those mountains there,
that's Mussoorie!
Do I have to trek
up to Mussoorie now?
Of course not!
That tall building there
Already scaled a mountain
I'm done.
Our police station's right behind it.
And behind that is our school!
And Mom, that's-- Mom?
That's the one!
SHARDUL THAKUR
S.I, DEHRADUN POLICE
Who's she?
-She's--
-A cousin!
Whose cousin?
The DSP's wife
Her cousin! She has the duplicate keys.
-Yes.
-Oh.
Right.
They don't have a western
toilet, so she uses ours at times.
How is ma'am?
-She's good.
-Great!
Oh, God!
Take your time.
-Namaste.
-Namaste.
Bye!
They stay in a tiny
room, with a small bed.
If it's a small bed, why
aren't they having a baby?
Baby, you must talk to
Sumi's family about the issue.
They must bear some
responsibility as well!
And don't keep napping.
Do what you've been sent to do.
Sumi.
-Milk?
-Yes.
Drink up!
-Namaste!
-Namaste.
-This is Naaznin. She works with Shardul.
-Namaste.
This is my son, Zoheb.
Children grow up so fast these days!
Who knows when she will go?
How is Mom?
She's exactly like Shardul.
Just the same, no differ--
Baby, listen to me.
Just sit there and watch TV all night.
Don't budge.
Watch any channel you want
You need me to tell you this as well?
Mom!
It's okay. We're all adults here.
What are you up to? Go, sleep inside!
Yes.
But I'm not sleepy at all.
I was watching this film.
I really like
Why are you snooping on us?
Will your sitting here help us conceive?
We are trying.
And if there's such a
hurry, we'll adopt a child!
-Should we?
-Adopt a child?
Adopt a child? Why?
She'll lose her figure by
bearing one, that's why!
How will she flaunt her jeans then?
Listen Baby. Enough of being a mother.
It's time to be a mother-in-law!
Be a mother-in-law? How?
Baby, go and get a pen and paper.
Can't I get her to
speak to you directly?
Just write!
Okay, one minute.
I'll note it down.
Yes, tell me.
Sumi, you should come home on time now.
If you spend all your
energy in school, then
what will be left for home and
And stop wearing
pant-shirt all the time.
Doll up a little because, you know
after all, it's a wife's duty
to entice her husband!
Is there more?
Shall I read it?
It is--
Is the handwriting legible?
"Turn off the lights while sleeping.
-It's because--"
-"Even men feel shy at times!"
-Can I keep this?
-Of course. It's for you, after all.
Thank God!
Just look at this!
Like my school sends a circular
your family has sent this.
A manual on "How To Have a Baby"!
Prayers in the morning,
adult talk in the evening,
and spying at night!
They're after my life!
She even spoke to my parents.
Now they're hounding me as well.
What did you tell them?
Told them off, what else?
I'm not like you!
Going on and on about a baby.
How do I give them a baby?
Should we have sex for them now?
Should we?
What?
Have sex.
I mean a child.
Our families will stop cribbing.
We could try.
You want to have a child.
Basically you want to have sex?
I always had my doubts about him!
-Quiet.
-I think he's Bi.
He stares at me when I wear shorts.
-I stare at you?
-Yes, you do!
She roams around in such tiny shorts.
I'm worried about what people will say!
And who are you calling "Bi"?
Who got drunk and forced her?
I forced her? Will you say something?
She's accusing me in public.
My colleagues will throw me behind bars!
They should!
All you do is talk rubbish
and make rubbish plans.
So, my plan was rubbish?
And what about you? Even made a plan?
No, because you're brainless!
You have dung for brains!
Go make dung-cakes, not plans!
What cakes?
Dung cake--
Dried cakes of cow-dung used
as fuel, with fingerprints all over?
Am I here to explain dung-cakes to you?
Go, make a better plan!
-What are they doing?
-Ma'am, stop these guys!
They can't marry like this!
It's illegal, right?
Don't get bothered.
They're just kids partying.
What party? It's a whole-ass
wedding procession!
They're dancing and mocking our culture!
-Do you see a groom on a horse?
-Get back!
Drums are played even during
India-Pakistan cricket matches!
Have faith in the law.
Such a marriage isn't
recognized by courts.
-Damn right, it isn't!
-Yeah, relax, why make a ruckus--
Get back!
Come, dance with me! Join the celebration!
-Sir, that guy there.
-Yes.
-Don't be shy, come on!
-Look at that guy.
-Dance and enjoy!
-What's your problem?
That guy looks high.
He'll cause trouble.
He must be a junkie.
Really? Dimri!
Yes, sir?
Call that guy, the one in the jacket.
Sir is calling you.
Sir's calling you!
Why are you wearing a mask?
Are you ashamed?
Sir?
Yes.
Name?
Unnamed!
Title?
Tytler.
Sir, he's definitely drunk.
-Are you drunk?
-No.
Here, in my hand.
Here. Blow, don't spit.
A turn upon a criss-cross path
Fireflies flit a luminous swath
When impish eyes flout every rule
Barriers break, mischief unspools
The mind is hooked
This sucker-mind's hooked
It's dazzled and shook
This sucker-mind's hooked
The mind is hooked
This sucker-mind's hooked
It's dazzled and shook
This sucker-mind's hooked
This love has me caught in a loop
Let's hold hands and fly the coop
This love has me caught in a loop
Let's hold hands and fly the coop
Mom?
Mom!
Is this fine?
Point number nine was
"entice your husband."
So, will this work?
Yes?
Yes? Then let's take a picture.
We can send it to Auntie.
Take a full-length one.
-Let's not send it to her.
-Why?
-Should it be shorter?
-No, no, no!
-I can make it shorter. No worries!
-No! This is fine.
The kheer is getting burnt.
Mom, I've been following
all your instructions
but it's futile.
Actually, Mom
it's your gun that's firing blanks.
What?
You know what I mean?
Your young gun
Shardul.
Oh, wow, kheer!
What happened?
Couldn't resist overeating?
Okay then, go take a run.
Will you have some?
Mom, what happened?
What happened? What--
Sumi? Mom?
Sumi?
Sumi!
Sumi!
I'm looking for you all over
and you're here, jogging!
What?
Drop the act!
Mom told me.
You lied about me to her!
So? You also told
everyone that I was infertile.
So, is this revenge?
I made a good plan.
It didn't work, but it
was well intended!
What the hell is this?
What have you done!
Why are you getting so stressed?
This time, the plan will work.
The report will say
your sperm count is low.
My sperm count?
We'll leave on Sunday, right?
My sperm count?
Have you seen my family?
We're like a child-rearing factory!
Papa was in the forces,
so he wasn't home often.
Or I would've had a bunch of siblings!
My sperm count!
Dude, your test will happen
in Rimjhim's lab, right?
So? Do men's sperm counts
dry up in Rimjhim's lab?
You're just like your mother!
But who is Shardul firing at?
Shardul, if the test
happens in Rimjhim's lab,
then the results will
be in her control, right?
But that's illegal! And I'm a cop!
And then you'll prove that I'm impotent?
I'm not impotent. Important--
It's very important that we go!
I'm not impotent, Sumi!
-I'll stay at my folks' today.
-Why?
Your report arrives today,
I might burst out laughing.
Did you pass the test?
It's not a civil services exam!
I saw your report, buddy.
Man, there's no scope
of passing the test.
Don't be disheartened
I've spoken to everyone.
And they've agreed.
Agreed to what?
Sumi, Shardul's here!
It's all God's will.
We just found out.
It hasn't shrunk.
Oh, his heart!
Don't let this shrink your heart, son.
Tonsils?
No, it's just her ritual vow of silence!
What are you doing here?
Can we talk?
-Please go ahead.
-Come.
Shrink-- Your brain has shrunk!
What happened?
-I kind of screwed up.
-What now?
You know how Mom
was always snooping on us
-Yes.
-and you were really stressed.
So one night, I just told her
Now what did you tell her?
Didn't you once say that
we could adopt a child.
Yes?
So, everyone's now on
board with the idea of adoption.
They agreed?
We can adopt a kid?
Yeah.
Did you really want a child?
Of course, since forever!
Really?
Why, you don't want one?
No, I mean I never
really thought about it.
It wasn't really possible, so
Sumi! I'm so happy!
Yeah?
NIBHA DEVI PANT ADOPTION CENTER
The adoption process is online now.
That's the official website.
You both can fill in your details on it.
Anyway, your case is genuine.
So, I think you should be
able to adopt a baby soon.
Thank you, sir.
Here it goes.
Oh, she's hungry.
Yes, looks like it.
Shall we go?
She is looking at you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Bye.
-Bye, Varnika!
-Bye.
To Junior Thakur!
Why Thakur? Why not Singh?
-The child gets the Dad's surname!
-Hey!
Why?
-It will be my child as well.
-Absolutely!
In that case, he's the Dad as well!
No.
I'm only interested in Senior Thakur!
Okay enough, it's a public place.
Sumi.
Let me tell you
I'll be a very strict Dad.
-Mom, hurry up!
-It's already on the move!
-Run faster!
-This--
-How much faster? It's gone!
-Hey!
Let it be now.
You barely brought anything.
How long does it take you to pack?
Why are you so hassled?
As if you booked the ticket.
Anup did it, he'll do it again.
I'll let him know.
Yeah, Anup can do everything, right?
It's not that easy.
I was just texting you.
You've got to leave.
-Why?
-We missed the train. Mom's with me.
Hello, Auntie!
Oh, no! You missed the train!
Well, at least I got a
chance to meet you.
-Won't you introduce us?
-He's my friend, Guru.
So, you're old friends?
No, we met pretty recently.
But we became really thick very soon.
Almost like a married couple!
You see, I'm a lawyer, he's a cop.
It's a love-hate relationship
just like husband and wife.
Right, Tiger?
So, you met in court?
No! At Amit and Harsh's wedding.
-Amita and Harsh's wedding!
-Amita?
Yeah, poor Amita.
He keeps calling her Amit!
How come you never told me about him?
Yeah, I
Auntie, you know what!
I don't believe in hiding my feelings.
-Oh, God!
-We've reached.
Wait, we're still talking!
Hold on.
Can I call you Mom?
I lost my mother, you see.
-Of course, you can call me Mom!
-Mom!
How sweet!
Come, Mom.
Please come.
Have a cup of tea.
Oh, no!
He's getting very late.
-You carry on, I'll get your luggage.
-Alright then.
-See you later, Mom!
-Yes.
What the hell was that?
I was just pulling your leg!
Why, can't I?
Can't I?
You're pointlessly getting hyper!
So today's plan is
No, why? I'll be right back.
Wait.
What happened?
What?
Yeah.
Sumi
don't tell them about me.
Please.
Pervert.
What did you just say?
Say it again! I dare you!
Isn't that what you really are?
What do I tell my friends,
that my sister's a lesbian?
Sick freak!
Watch your mouth,
or I'll smash your face!
You'll teach him how to behave?
-You?
-He's ten years younger than me!
How can he talk to me like that?
Look at her! Just look at her.
She doesn't have an ounce of shame!
Lower your eyes.
Lower them!
You've been cheating
your parents all your life.
Why didn't you just die?
I wish you died!
Will you say something?
Why are you silent?
I'm going to the shop.
What happened at home today,
it didn't surprise me one bit.
I had replayed this situation
in my head so many times.
How all of you would react
whether you'd even understand me.
Everything Mom said today,
I felt I had heard it before.
I felt really mad at Naman
but I knew he'd probably
say something like that.
But when it came to you
I thought that like always,
you'll wrap me in a hug and say,
"Sumi, no matter what happens
no matter what the world
says, your Papa has your back."
You're struggling to say it, right?
I understand.
But can't you still say it
once, just for my sake?
Please, Papa?
Scold me
if you're angry.
But please don't be like this?
Please say something, Papa.
Why did it have to be us?
Man, you're an experienced guy.
How could you not sense it?
Even while getting intimate?
Did anything even
happen between you two?
What kind of policeman are you?
You were being robbed in broad
daylight, and you just sat quiet.
He was quietly suffering for her sins.
I changed my clothes so
many times in front of her!
Imagine
she used to sleep next to me!
I feel repulsed thinking of it.
Even Homeopathy has
no cure for this disease.
What?
Do you all hear yourself?
You feel repulsed. Why?
And you're a doctor, Brother-in-law.
You should at least
know this isn't a disease.
It's perfectly natural.
No one asks you to decide and
choose between men and women.
The feeling comes from within, right?
God created them this way.
Homosexuals are as human as all of you.
And you know
who Sumi is?
She's a really nice girl.
She hasn't cheated me.
I knew everything.
This big family of mine
it's always given me
more love than I deserve.
And yet I've always felt alone.
I could never share
my truth with anyone.
There was no one
other than her.
So, if you're so repulsed by her
you should be repulsed by me as well.
If you think she's sick
Then I'm sick as well.
Because gay, homo, homosexuals
whatever you want to call it
it
I am that as well.
I'm gay.
Hello?
Hello, Shardul?
I can't hear you.
Hello?
Hello.
Sumi, I told them.
I told everyone.
Shardul, I'll call you later.
In the evening, okay?
It's time for my class.
Yeah, alright.
Our world is just as beautiful
As we are within
Wherever you are
Where there's peace
Is where will I be
Roads to the heart
filled with love
This caravan of ours
Fueled by love
Taking fresh wing
Anew, emerging
Souls unleashing
Seamlessly mingling
We are the color of each light
Together keep shining bright
We are the color of each light
Together keep shining bright
Bring forth a color
We bring another
From the sea drawn
Lifted off the dawn
A color sweet
A savory treat
The color of the moon
From a star strewn
DON'T BE AFRAID TO FALL IN LOVE
Our world is just as beautiful
As we are within
Wherever you are
Where there's peace
Is where will I be
We are the color of each light
Together keep shining bright
We are the color of each light
Together keep shining bright
Road to the heart, filled with love
This caravan of ours, fueled by love
Taking fresh wing, anew emerging
Souls unleashing, seamlessly mingling
-Our world is just as beautiful
-This caravan of ours, fueled by love
-Souls unleashing, seamlessly mingling
-As we are within
Wherever you are
Where there's peace
Is where will I be
The DSP's wife really misses you.
Keeps asking, "Where's Sumi?"
Really? What did you tell her?
The truth! That you're a hoe
who ran off with her cousin!
-Did you get the message?
-What message?
We have an appointment on Monday,
2:00 p.m. with the divorce counselor.
Am I such a bad husband,
that you're divorcing me?
Actually I got a message as well.
Our adoption application
has been approved.
Couldn't you avoid
getting caught a bit longer?
At least we would have a child.
Sumi and I have decided
not to get divorced.
We'll live together like before
as husband and wife.
Because we both want a
child, we're adopting a baby.
Single women can adopt,
but because I'm lesbian,
I don't have the legal right to.
So, we're adopting together.
Our country's law says that only
"normal" married couples can adopt.
Now how do we convince everyone
that we are as normal as anyone.
Now it's up to you whether you
want to accept our marriage or not.
This marriage was a compromise
before, and it remains a compromise.
Earlier it was because of all of you,
and now because of the law.
-Please sit.
-Okay.
King-King can happen.
King-Queen can happen.
But Queen-Queen can't happen.
But these two?
They're women.
I was talking about men.
-Shall we begin?
-Absolutely.
Parents, please extend their hands.
Please continue, sir.
Fold your hands.
-Go there.
-Namaste. Please come.
The ceremony's still on?
-Have a seat.
-Namaste.
Tea?
No, I don't--
Rimjhim.
Rimjhim.
Go sit next to Sumi.
Go!
Go on.
A mother must be
present at the ceremony.
Mr. Tytler, you also come and sit.
I'm not asking you to be a father.
I just want you by my side.
How many more cups of tea
before you wake up?
Do you come to my parents'
only to drink tea?
Just take a laxative!
Mummy, can I skip school today?
No! You are not skipping school anymore!
So, it's decided, right?
Yes, sure.
Mom, if you've already decided,
then why have this family meeting?
We dropped all our
morning chores to be here!
When it came to our marriages,
there was no such discussion!
But of course
he's the son of the house!
When it comes to his marriage,
caste, religion, nothing matters!
Auntie, they're even ready to
let him marry a Muslim girl!
I wasn't even allowed to choose
a boy from our own caste.
You had an affair before our marriage?
It was just an example!
You really have zero imagination!
-Look
-Yes.
it's not like we readily agreed, right?
He's been adamant since four years
that he won't marry anyone except her.
So, what should we do?
Let him remain a bachelor forever?
And can't you see
how noble your brother is?
He's upheld our family honor
for the last four years.
Absolutely, Mom!
He's been living alone
in Dehradun all this while.
He could've easily eloped if he wanted.
But, did he?
Baby
what do you think?
What will Auntie say?
It's been a year
and she still can't decide
whether she wants her cataract
operated or not.
Enough, now!
Auntie Baby, please speak up.
What can I say?
If his father were around,
he'd have counseled him.
He passed away eight years ago.
Is it still his responsibility?
Baby, say something.
He is your only son!
You seem to have lost two biscuits.
Really?
Really?
A naughty bunny
nibbled them away last night!
Come on, sir!
Any more photos?
Can't see any more.
She's not on my friend list.
You think they're a good match?
I mean, our brother's so fit
and she's kinda plump, no?
So what? Nothing like some
meat to grab onto!
I meant
I was just trying to say that
She should be healthy, right?
You tell us.
What do you think?
I think
That we should meet Naaznin's family.
-No!
-Yes.
-And fix a date!
Yes.
He says we should
fix a wedding date!
Very well, then.
You'll gorge on sweets soon.
WOMEN POLICE STATION
Sir's here.
-Jai hind, sir!
-Jai hind!
Jai hind, sir!
WOMEN HELPLINE
Hello, Women Police Station.
Madam, Sections 354, 368, 498A
I'm bored dealing
with domestic squabbles.
If I had Section 302, 307
that would be exciting.
What's your problem?
Why do you want a transfer?
Other men would kill to get posted
at a Women's Police Station.
Let me open that for you.
And there's you, playing saint
in a garden of temptation!
People only come here
to rant about their in-laws,
or swap knitting
patterns and recipes.
And now there's a nursery
right behind my cabin.
Those yelling kids make my ears bleed.
I'm not enjoying it here, ma'am.
Are you here for enjoyment or work?
Tell me!
Have you seen the FIR
your team has typed?
Do you know how much the state
spends on Computer Training?
Go, get it redone!
Give that back.
It's stuck.
I'll get it opened.
Go.
OFFICE INCHARGE
That's the mouse, keep it down.
Naaznin.
Yes, sir?
What's this?
It's the report, sir.
You call this a report?
There are six fonts on one page.
Spacing, alignment
it's all a mess.
Come on, put your heart into it.
But it's an FIR, sir
Not a love letter.
-You think that's funny?
-Sorry, sir.
Hey, kiddos!
SUB INSPECTOR'S ROOM
Watch your tongue.
I'm your senior officer.
Redo this.
-Hold on a second.
-Okay, sir.
Hello, Auntie.
Hello, Shardul.
So, we had a discussion at home,
about you marrying Naaznin.
One moment.
Open this and give it to ma'am.
Okay.
Yes, Auntie.
Well, everyone's agreed!
What's the matter?
Aren't you happy?
How can I be happy, Auntie?
You all took so long to say yes,
she said yes to someone else.
Oh, God!
He's saying Naaznin got married.
Hello, Shardul.
What happened?
Did she really get married?
Yes Mom, do you want to
see her marriage certificate?
He hung up!
What now, Mom?
Why are you all so sad?
This is great news!
Let's find him a girl
from our own caste now!
Yes.
AMIRAH
IT SUITS YOU WELL
What are you doing?
Papa, the under-18
team selection is on.
The coach asked us
to shave our arms and legs.
Selectors are strict these days.
Check this out!
Everyone thinks I'm
your older brother.
We pointlessly got you
a fake underage certificate.
What is it?
Sumi?
"Tell her"
What do I tell her?
"Shave?"
Why would Sumi shave Naman's arms?
Text me. I'm running late.
Mom's vow of silence
includes texting as well!
Did she leave again?
Good going! Concentrate!
Well done, Kavita, Simran!
Vishakha, pass it to Vaishnavi!
Vaishnavi, shoot!
Come on Vaishnavi, concentrate!
Pass the ball.
Everyone, assemble here.
Get started.
Rotate!
Clockwise.
Anti-clockwise.
That dating app you told me to join.
A guy wants to meet up.
Go ahead!
Or do you want to chat endlessly?
Right!
Just don't get physical
on the first date.
Left!
Switch!
-Sir.
-I'll break your legs!
Wait till your Dad discovers your antics!
Think you can outrun me?
-Get in line!
-Sir.
Another Runaway Romeo, sir!
He left that girl and ran!
Sir.
Cops appear and love disappears?
-Sorry, sir.
-You think he'll be loyal?
One more?
Hey, stop!
Catch them!
Sir!
-What?
-"Laasbian", sir!
Lesbians? Get them out!
Come out, quick!
Come out now!
Why so shy?
Sir, please!
They're homos!
Sir!
We caught two homos.
Come on! Get in line!
Hey! Get lost, you two. Scoot!
Such people are
ruining this country.
But, sir
Shall I call your mother?
Do it properly.
-What's up?
-Go on, have a look!
-Sorry, sir.
-Here you go.
-Think you're in a park?
-Sorry, sir!
Left!
Left, right, left! Left!
-Ms. Suman!
-Left, right, left! Left!
Someone's here for you.
-Good morning, ma'am.
-Good morning, ma'am.
Sumi's a very senior teacher here.
Didn't you say she's very fair?
She looked very different in the photo.
She's much darker in person.
Not at all!
-Sumi, unzip your jacket.
-What?
Don't be shy, it's just us!
See!
What are you doing?
See how fair she is!
Come with me!
She's just got a bit tanned
being on the field everyday.
She won't be working
after marriage anyway.
Why would I quit my job?
Then who'll take care
of the house?
Whose house is it?
As of now, it's a rented place.
But my Sanju has bought
a big plot of land in Daalanwala!
-Really! In Daalanwala?
-Yes.
Can I see his picture?
I meant Sanju's picture,
not your husband's!
This is Sanju!
Oh!
By the way,
auntie probably didn't tell you
I was engaged once before.
But just before the wedding,
the boy passed away.
Sanju's your only child, right?
Are you willing to take such a big risk?
Hey, Kusum!
Tell your mother
to never call me again!
Kusum! Listen to me!
What did you say to Auntie Priya?
Did you see the guy's picture?
He was an uncle!
You're 31 already.
Are you expecting young boys?
You'd be lucky to even get an "uncle."
New excuses every time!
What excuses?
I did like a boy once, right?
Agreed to marry him as well.
Remember what happened?
He's been dead for six years!
Even his parents
would've moved on by now.
But you still won't let go!
Am I destined to remain
a wedding guest forever?
What future do you have?
Couldn't you become
a Math or Science teacher?
Became a sports teacher instead!
You can't even take up private tuition!
So, now you're concerned
about my future?
Why didn't you let me pursue handball?
I was selected for the nationals!
I could've landed a job
in the railways.
You went out of your way to get
this loser a fake certificate.
Was he selected?
What did he achieve?
Want a loudspeaker?
Go on, tell the entire neighborhood!
Don't you act cheeky with me.
Didn't you tell him?
I paid for your fake certificate!
Whiny little Mama's boy!
-Mom!
-Tell me something.
Why can't you play with boys your age?
Because he's a duffer!
My colleague Urvashi,
she stays near the school.
I'm moving in with her.
We'll split the rent.
Papa, are you listening to me?
-Prem?
-I'm leaving!
-Always after me--
-Hi!
Those documents I gave you
Here.
All done?
How much?
Bye!
Saw that?
She's younger than you.
See how she flirts with me!
Papa, I'm serious!
I'm leaving home.
I can't take your wife's
daily taunts anymore.
What will people say?
Couldn't get our girl married,
so we washed our hands off her?
Why do you take
mom's words to heart?
Learn from your father.
Turn a deaf ear to her.
And we can live in peace.
Peace will arrive in our house
only once she departs.
That's going to be one helluva long wait!
You should also move with me!
Why be stuck with that old hag?
Maybe you'll find someone
to flirt with as well.
Yeah, right!
What is it?
-It's Sumu.
-Hello!
Hello, Nonu!
Ask, "How are you?"
How are you?
I'm great! How about you?
I'm fine as well.
-Bye.
-What?
Damn, she ran away!
She misses you a lot.
-Keeps asking, "Where's Sumu?"
-Why have you called?
I'm coming home next week.
Let's meet?
Don't avoid me this time.
Just focus on your family, okay?
CAN WE MEET?
-Hello.
-Sorry, but I'm waiting for someone.
Suman Singh?
Raju.
Surprised?
Suman!
Hold on for a moment, please!
Suman! Hear me out.
Just listen for a bit?
You don't like boys at all?
Try me out once!
Get away from me!
And don't try to
contact me ever again!
Have some roti.
-Hello?
-Hello, Suman. Raju.
I've got your number
with great difficulty.
Yes?
Photocopy this, please.
Chapter 16.1 to 16.3.
Go away or I'll report you.
Oh, really?
Go ahead.
I'll expose you as well.
Buddy!
Make it two copies.
Look
I'm requesting you.
Please stop bothering me.
I'm also requesting you.
I'm not asking
you to be my girlfriend.
Just do it once.
20 rupees.
20?
Bye, ma'am!
Who was that?
Ex-student.
-Name?
-Suman.
Ti--
Hello, Mom. What is it?
No, I've not seen the photos.
I'm on duty.
My heartbreak's still fresh.
I'm not done grieving yet.
At least let my wounds heal!
I'll call you later.
I'm busy.
Yes, later. Bye.
-Title?
-Singh.
-Punjabi?
-No, I'm a Thakur from UP.
Gender?
Take a guess?
Female of course.
This boy harassing you,
what's his name?
Rajeev Paadi-set
Paddisetti, sir.
Rajeev Paddisetti.
Squat!
Now that you look like a cock,
you better lay some eggs
for our dinner.
But hens lay eggs, not cocks.
Sorry, sir.
Being cheeky with a cop, engineer?
Should I wrench out your nuts?
Come on, show me your hand.
-Hand in front, now!
-Sir, please, not my hands.
Sir, please.
-Do it now!
-Sir, please!
Sir, please, not the right hand.
I have an exam tomorrow.
Ma'am!
-Namaste, sir.
-Namaste.
-Did you find him?
-Of course!
He won't bother you again.
I told him off.
-Just told him off?
-Yes.
Why didn't you beat him
naked on an ice-slab?
You could've broken his limbs at least!
I
"Told him off"
I mean
Don't worry.
He won't harass any lady again.
Sorry! "Lady" suits older women
You are
you're young. A girl.
Fresh as a daisy!
Sir, I--
What do you teach?
Social Sciences?
No. Physical Education.
Oh, P.T!
I'll get going.
Yeah, sure.
I'm never assigned any senior classes.
She doesn't tell me a word.
I'll be back.
Hello!
What are you up to?
Are you stalking me?
Women go to the police
for their safety.
Where do we go if
policemen start stalking us?
Hey
It's not what you think.
-This isn't a police matter.
-Then, what is it?
Can I speak to you
for two minutes? Alone?
Why?
It's kind of a private matter.
First of all, thanks for
coming here with me.
Couldn't you find a better place?
There won't be any disturbance here.
Like I said, it's a personal matter.
Go on.
Sure.
So, as you mentioned in the report,
you're from the Thakur caste,
female, age 31.
There must be pressure
from your family to get married?
I'm 32, the same caste.
What are you suggesting?
That we get married?
Damn, I was so nervous!
You just spoke my mind!
This is great!
Look, brother
I was engaged once
and the groom died two
weeks before the wedding.
How?
In an accident!
Was he driving? Where?
Which police station?
Is this an interrogation?
Don't you get it?
I'm cursed. Deadly cursed!
Hey, one second!
Hold on.
Please sit.
Two minutes, please.
Look, I
Sorry. Protein shake.
Look, I'm pretty broad-minded.
I don't believe in curses!
And honestly, I feel we are
a match made in heaven.
Don't you get it?
I have no interest in marriage.
-I don't want to get married!
-I know!
What do you know?
Raju told me
that you have zero interest in men.
I get it.
That's fine by me!
Look
just like you're
not interested in men right?
But
What?
You know
I
You know what I mean
-What?
-I'm I'm just like you.
I'm homosexual.
-What are you?
-Homosexual!
Who's there?
Sirohi!
Sirohi!
-Jai hind, sir!
-Wha what did you hear, Sirohi?
Nothing, sir.
But don't worry,
your secret's safe with me!
What what secret, Sirohi?
That you and ma'am
here
Yeah, we were just
-Now scoot, come on!
-Carry on, sir!
Get going!
Actually
You think he heard me?
-So
-Water?
Yes, water
No, it's okay. Thanks.
-So, what was I saying?
-That you're gay.
Yes, I am
So, I was saying that if we get married
our families will get off our backs.
Right?
And then we can live in peace.
Live freely, together
Like roommates?
How can I be sure you're gay?
The state doesn't give certificates
to prove it, right?
I am what I am. Right?
Anyway, why would someone
just say they're gay?
Doesn't make sense, right?
What do you say?
Plus, you'll be under my protection!
-Ma'am, a bit to the left.
-Yes.
A little more.
Raise your legs. Outward!
And smile!
What a pretty pair of swans!
Sarita, Vinita, Nishita, Udita,
and myself Rekha.
Dad finally gave up his dream
of having a son after me.
I'm Dr. Anup Parihar.
Doctor of Homeopathy.
-My brother-in-law.
-Namaste.
Let's raise a toast!
Let's raise a toast!
Let's raise a toast!
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
Oh, no! Oh, no! No!
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Raise a toast!
The moon and lovebird
Entwined by a thread of fate
Families have joined the party
Uncles let loose and gyrate
The couple have blissfully wed
Look how the bride blushes red
This moonfaced lass would pick our boy
Could anyone have guessed?
Oh, no! No!
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Raise a toast!
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Raise a toast!
Shanti, you're here.
Sir, please have a seat!
Please come.
Naaznin didn't come?
A heaven-made union
Never to be undone
No one quite knows
Where the plots lead here-from
A couple of parched souls in heat
Here comes the proverbial twist
Quickly gather cotton
Assemble a fluffy quilt
Oh, no! No!
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Raise a toast!
Where did our prince
Find this pretty little bride?
Raise a toast!
Sir, now that the kids are married
if you could get them
a flat at the police colony.
Dance and raise a toast!
Dance and raise a toast!
Dance and raise a toast!
Dance and raise a toast!
Raise a toast!
Raise a toast!
Raise a toast!
Raise a toast!

Hi. Are you ready?
Yeah.
Shall we head out?
No, actually Kabir's coming,
so I'll be with him.
Oh
so you're on a real honeymoon!
Good for you.
How much?
-Hi.
-Yeah?
Your family wants a selfie,
shall we take one?
Selfie? Yeah, sure.
This hotel's pretty fancy.
Must be expensive, right?
It's Kabir's choice, after all.
Where's Kabir?
Kabir
I've been calling and
texting him since morning.
No response.
No idea where he is, or what he's up to.
You know, I've never spoken
about Kabir to anyone till date
except you.
Thank you!
-The selfie?
-Come--
Yeah, of course!
Let me put this glass away
or they'll think I've been drinking.
A bit closer.
Sorry.
You know what?
Let's do this tomorrow.
Sure, tomorrow it is!
No big deal.
Where are you going?
Sit for a while!
No, I'll carry on.
I'm a cop!
Don't be nervous!
Come! Come, sit.
So did you always
want to join the police?
Police?
Are you kidding?
I just
I wanted to be this.
One second, wait.
What are you doing, Shardul?
-Please! It's okay.
-Wait a minute.
Look here.
See?
See those pecs.
Yeah!
Look, triceps.
These were double the size
a decade ago!
Look at this.
Touch it?
Hard as a rock!
Back.
Can you see it?
Abs see these abs?
This
See?
This
See what I wanted to be
"Mr. India"!
How can I see?
Mr. India's invisible, right?
-You're making fun of me
-No.
Fine, go ahead.
Make jokes.
Destiny already played
the biggest joke on me.
Although
I trained my ass off for three years.
Sweat it out at the
gym for six hours, daily!
Never took steroids or anything.
You know Pumping Iron?
I watched it 35 times!
I flicked the VCD from a store.
Watched it every day!
What?
Did you say something?
-No.
-Okay.
And then the year I was
to enter the competition
my father kicked the bucket!
He was martyred, right?
Yeah, he was martyred.
My dream of becoming Mr. India
was also martyred with him.
The government offered me this job.
People in our country don't
even let go of a bus seat.
Would you?
Of course, you wouldn't!
How could I let go
of a government job?
Imagine, a gay man in the police!
I fear the police
more than criminals do.
What if someone finds out?
Have you watched Robocop?
Robocop?
Robo
Well, I'm
Homocop!
That's right, I'm Homocop!
Who am I? Homocop!
And if
-Shardul?
-It's okay. I'm okay.
Did I not eat last night?
Right there.
Hi.
Kabir. He arrived this morning.
Suman.
I'll grab some breakfast, and then
we can all honeymoon together?
Tiger!
I'll be back.
Hey!
Is he a schoolboy?
He looks so young!
Of course not!
He's doing his MBA.
Even alone in my room
It's your presence I feel
Upon the cradle of my thoughts
I carry you with me
When you put your palm on mine
Our lifelines shall intertwine
Now all that separates us
Is a distance of few steps
Seeking assent
Seeking assent
Seeking assent
Assent, yours and mine
Amid tiny window panes
In the verandah of my heart
Peeking mischief a pair of eyes truant
Scribbling a request
With crooked alphabets
A song of love
Whispering sweet nothings
A silken thread away
This breathy distance
Seeking assent
Seeking assent
Seeking assent
Assent, yours and mine
You've been together for three years.
Doesn't he have any problem
with this marriage?
No. Why would he?
How did you two meet?
Blow into this.
Blow into this.
Carry on.
This isn't working. Hold this.
Stop the car. Stop!
Are you drunk?
No, sir.
Really?
In my hand.
Now.
Do it!
But sir, you told me to
I asked you to blow, not spit!
-Get some water! Come out!
-Sorry, sir. Really sorry!
-Get out!
-I'm very sorry, sir.
He spat!
Bye!
At least say bye properly.
I did, of course! Let's go.
-How much?
-1,000 rupees.
Got 500 bucks?
I don't.
All expenses will be split equally.
We're roommates, after all
not an actual couple.
That's your room
and this is mine.
Aren't we a little
too cut off from the city?
It's better this way.
No one knows us here.
There's zero risk.
Let's move to Siberia then!
There's no one there.
I've been waiting since
7:00 p.m., Shardul!
Why are you making
a big deal out of it?
I'm sorry I got late.
Let's move on, please!
Why are you ruining the mood?
Come on
Why does it always have to be me?
Shardul, you know I have a problem.
Why do you say
we're versatile then!
Versatile, my foot!
This isn't fair.
I also feel like
Look, if it's such a problem,
then let it be!
-I'll leave.
-Kabir!
Get up.
Prem, your entire machinery
is rusting from inside.
You only look young on the outside.
Hello
I've come to the doctor with Papa.
No, I won't come today.
Ask Shardul to come home.
Okay, bye.
I've prescribed some tests.
Let's find out
where the problem lies.
Naman!
Naman?
Naman?
Where did he disappear?
What?
Now, I
Listen.
The clinic's on your way, right?
What's this?
The doctor asked for a stool test.
What the hell, Papa!
At least pack it discreetly!
What's wrong?
-It's an airtight container!
-Please!
Millennium Pathology.
Yes sir, we have all the tests.
Yes, sir.
I need a urine test.
You can put your sample in this
and go to that cabin over there.
Okay.
Sample?
Here.
This much!
-Sorry.
-No. One second.
This much is enough for a sample.
If you could
-Okay.
-Yeah.
Must be half a kilo of shit!
I've kept the sample.
What about the rest?
I flushed it down.
Okay.
Rimjhim, when shall I come
to collect the test results?
You needn't come.
Why?
You'll get the reports online.
While on the straight and narrow
Our eyes committed an offense
At night they break the law
By day they feign defense
While on the straight and narrow
Our eyes committed an offense
Again?
This isn't mine!
This is for Pinky.
Okay.
Pinky!
Didn't you get the reports?
I did.
Then?
I wanted to get a test.
Which one?
There are many different kinds of tests.
Blood sugar, blood culture,
sugar, hypoglycemia.
Eye test, hearing test, urine test,
CT scan, MRI, PT scan, ECG, EEG, X-ray.
Or AIDS?
Why would I get tested for AIDS?
No.
I'll get this one, for 299 rupees.
You flowed into my life
Like a cool evening breeze
You're a knock that bruised me
And the balm that soothes me
You flowed into my life
Like a cool evening breeze
You're a knock that bruised me
And the balm that soothes me
Feeling scared?
You can hold my hand.
Your beauty's boundless
And I'm obsessed
The eyes, once restless
Focus on you, relentless
While on the straight and narrow
Our eyes committed
Sure you want to give blood?
An offense
We could have coffee instead.
So, fully legal?
There were about 500 guests
at the wedding.
You live like a normal couple?
More like flatmates.
We even have separate rooms.
We're not even friends, really.
And your families?
They have no idea?
Look I wanted to be
completely honest with you
so, we don't have problems later.
That's cool.
My parents don't even speak to me.
I thought my sister
would understand
but she won't even let me
near my niece now.
Why did you tell them?
I thought they're family,
they'd understand.
But, no.
No one understands, man.
Because we're different,
they think we're perverts.
And why must we
explain ourselves, anyway?
This is just a part of us.
It doesn't define who we are.
Get away from the railing!
Move back!
No, we won't come down!
Hey, get away from the railing!
Move back!
Move back from the railing!
Sirohi, don't scold them.
Cajole them.
Yes, sir.
Look kids
life is a God-given gift.
Don't throw it away in a fit of passion!
And suicide is a crime.
You know that, right?
We've called your parents.
-They've agreed to your demands.
-Jai hind, sir.
Are these lovebirds
building a nest up there?
Get them down!
Call them if you don't believe us.
Shardul, call for sweets.
Your work is done!
Get ready to shift.
Thank you, sir!
Thank you, ma'am!
Why, ma'am?
Thank your aunt!
She's the one who requested me.
My aunt?
She asked me to get a flat allotted
for you in the police colony.
You can shift on Monday.
Don't mess up your lives.
All eyes are on you!
All eyes are on you!
Great! At least we're in the city now.
Good morning, sir.
Start unpacking.
-Shardul.
-Yeah?
-What the hell?
-What?
I got the smaller room in Goa,
the last house, and here as well?
Yeah! The house is allotted to me,
as part of my allowance.
Fine.
My rent contribution
will be smaller as well.
Hey!
Where are the car keys?
In my pocket.
What happened?
It's a gift from my father,
not your dowry!
-Hello!
-Hello!
-Why don't you drop by sometime?
-Yes, of course.
But first, you must
come over with sir!
We can't hire housemaid here.
It's risky!
Fine. All chores will be split equally.
Nice!
Traffic control, please take note.
I sent my maid to your place.
You didn't hire her?
-Yes, actually--
-We don't need one!
She does all the work!
School gets over by afternoon anyway.
She gets bored at home.
-We're getting repeated calls
-Sir.
from number 420.
-Ma'am, please sit.
-Please come.
Alpha three, come in.
Go make us some tea!
Ma'am, we got this flat.
Thanks to sir.
Now if you put in a word,
I could get a transfer from
the Women's Station.
It's been three years.
No kickbacks, no income.
It's parched out there, sir!
Now that you're living above me,
you think you can
dance on my head?
Sir
Cheetah one to Tango three.
Tango three to Cheetah one, copy.
Street dogs have wreaked havoc
in the neighborhood.
Swing your batons at them.
That'll scare the dogs away.
-I'll be back in a second.
-Okay.
Why aren't you making tea?
It's your turn today. You make it!
Keep it low, I have a
reputation to maintain!
If you hold your reputation
so dear, watch your tongue!
Got it?
I'm not your servant.
Acting cocky in front of your boss!
Of course not!
It's just to make us look
convincing as man and wife!
Really? Should I chase
you with a broom then?
You'll do all the chores today.
Wash the dishes and the bathroom.
For the entire week.
Okay?
Say, "you will."
Say it!
I will.
Please have some.
Sumi makes amazing fritters.
Ketchup?
Dogs are roaming in a pack,
five or six of them.
Please reassure the public
that the police is at their service.
Hello?
The public and the dogs,
they're both a nuisance.
The green chutney? Get it.
Scare both the public and dogs with
batons if needed, to maintain order.
You've really given him free rein!
Take charge, or he'll lord over you!
Very impressive!
Best to grab the reins early,
then they stay under control!
Control room, please note--
Occupied!
The next destination
You alone know
Every hidden treasure
You alone know
To find daylight in darkness
You alone know
How we pacified the heart
You alone know
We are contented
You are stupendous
You are stupendous
Bringing calm to the mind
You are that soothing thought
I was an obedient one
Want to come home?
But
But my eyes have captivated you
Yes, they have
Hi.
Rimjhim.
Title?
What?
Title?
Miss?
-Surname.
-Jongkey.
Who's that?
Who's she?
Ms. Bathroom?
She's a friend.
Really?
Here, at home?
Does she know about us?
You told her?
So, Kabir knows about us as well!
But I've never brought Kabir here!
So, get him!
Have I stopped you?
Are you crazy?
This is a police colony.
I'm a cop!
What if someone finds out?
What's the big secret?
Is there some "good news"?
No, of course not!
We're still kids ourselves!
I got you temple offerings from Shirdi.
Cousin just got back.
-Sir's cousin?
-My cousin.
Your cousin!
Who's she?
-She's--
-Cousin.
Whose cousin?
Your cousin.
Yours got back from Shirdi, right?
This one's Sumi's cousin.
Her real cousin!
Timtim Jhilmil.
-Rimjhim.
-Rimjhim.
So, she's Sumi's sister?
Yes.
Namaste.
Good morning.
She's convent-educated,
so, she speaks in English!
What's this?
Is she going to stay here?
She's my cousin, right?
So, she can stay with me.
Those bags there,
put them up in the loft.
-One second. What?
-Bye.
Hey, please keep that over there.
-This?
-Yeah.
Passport!
It's blank! You didn't go anywhere?
Then, why'd you get one made?
I told you about Komal, right?
Komal.
A few months after marriage,
she came back pregnant.
Her parents live two streets away.
Obviously, we started meeting again.
She made me do all the
chores during her pregnancy.
Nonu was born to her,
but she felt like my own child.
She was so tiny when she was born!
Such tiny little hands and feet.
When she got her first shot,
I cried louder than her.
That baby-smell of hers, Rimjhim
wow!
I would hold her
in my arms for hours.
Only I could put her to sleep.
Then Komal's husband came
and took them both back to Delhi.
I didn't feel as bad
about Komal's marriage
as I did about being
separated from that child.
I wanted a child
so, I agreed to get married.
Whenever that guy touched me
I felt so repulsed
and sick.
I even contemplated suicide.
Look at the irony.
Two weeks before marriage, he died.
Poor guy.
That's when I realized
that if I want a child
I'd have to move abroad.
So, I got a passport made.
I tried my best.
Filled many applications
but nothing happened.
I don't have any suitable qualifications.
Well, you shouldn't have
any problem now.
You have a husband.
You can go for IVF.
I want to adopt.
A child will get a home,
and my dream will be fulfilled as well.
I have a passport.
So do you.
Let's go abroad
and have a child!
If she stays here, expenses
will be split three-ways.
A kid with him?
She'll have to do the dishes as well.
Dude, mommy had warned
No romantic shenanigans
Get into an arranged and simple alliance
Like the neighbor's kid who eloped and ran
Told you not to follow after that dunce
Dude, mommy had warned
No romantic shenanigans
Get into an arranged and simple alliance
By God, rightly, destiny would have it not
The heart beats wild
Says love you lots
Should we add her name as well?
My head flew in a tizzy
So hard this heart was shot
Lassie's hot!
Lassie's hot!
So hard this heart was shot
Lassie's hot!
Hi!
Lassie's hot!
-Hello, how are you?
-That's fine.
I'll get Sumi.
We've come to meet you as well.
Namaste.
Mom, how come you're here suddenly?
Who's this?
-She's--
-She's Sumi's cousin.
What?
What?
Come on!
How can she be Sumi's cousin?
She's my cousin!
Real cousin!
That which is to happen will happen
Why shed tears, worry without cause
What we have today
We may not tomorrow
Embrace this joy, it's now or never
Such a gay thing!
Go with the flow!
-Hello.
-Kabir, can't hear you!
Hello?
Let me in your heart now
By God, rightly, destiny would have it not
The heart beats wild, says love you lots
This crazy head spins like a top
When are you giving

Everyone's waiting here!
Did you book your tickets?
-It's Sumi's first Diwali with us!
-Yes.
This crazy head spins like a top
Lassie's hot!
Have some.
Lassie's hot!
This crazy head spins like a top
Lassie's hot!
This pairing of yours and mine
This love story, crazy, yea crazy bro
Freedom newfound, unfurling
Every shackle is shattering
I'm so confused, yeah
Everything's new, yeah
What shall I do, yeah
O God, show me the way
By God, rightly, destiny would have it not
The heart beats wild, says love you lots
This crazy head spins like a top
So hard it was got
Lassie's hot!
Lassie's hot!
This crazy head spins like a top
Lassie's hot!
How do you do all this?
What?
Whatever you were doing out there.
All that cringy PDA,
eating from the same plate.
-How do you do it?
-It's just an act, Rimjhim.
People must be convinced
that we're a real couple.
So, why don't you just
have sex in public?
Their doubt will be cleared forever!
Why are you shouting?
This is a police colony.
And what do you expect me to do?
Sit in your lap and shout,
"Rimjhim is my real partner,
not Shardul!"
Don't even try.
You don't have the courage.
Whatever drama you're playing,
I don't wanna be
a part of this anymore!
One day I'm your cousin,
the next day I'm his.
I can't do this anymore!
It's thanks to this "drama"
that we can stay together!
For the first time in my life, I'm
living in my own house on my terms.
It's a huge deal for me!
And for this, I will lie if I have to!
Thank God you are
just a sports teacher
or you'd definitely turn
all the kids into liars.
At least I'm a sports teacher.
What are you?
You just collect
people's poop and piss!
Is she leaving?
Why will she leave?
Don't couples argue?
But aren't we the couple here?
Three bedrooms, two parking slots.
There's no stamp duty either.
And the best part is that it's on
the way to your college in Mussoorie.
It's a great deal.
Once I get that house
CALL ME, MAN!
You could move there as a paying guest.
Kabir?
Kabir, are you listening?
What did I just say?
Two bedrooms, fab deal,
something like that.
Two bedrooms?
Hello?
Hey, bro.
What!
No, shit!
What are you saying!
Now?
Cool, I'm coming.
Thanks, bro.
I got to leave, man.
They revised the deadline,
submission's tomorrow now.
Sorry, man.
Where's your phone?
-Why?
-Show me your phone.
-I won't!
-Show me your phone.
-Why should I?
-I want to see it.
-Why?
-Show me your phone.
-I can't--
-Show me the phone!
Show me your phone!
What are you doing, Shardul? Let go!
Do you take me for an idiot?
Are you fooling around with me?
I'd been planning this for a month.
Especially took leave from office
to be with you, and you're
-Let go, Shardul, you're hurting me.
-Tell me, who is it?
-Leave me!
-Show me your phone.
-What are you--
-Show me the damn phone!
Sorry. Sorry.
Kabir. Kabir, sorry.
Kabir, I
I did it by mistake.
I didn't mean to hit you, Kabir.
Kabir! Kabir, sorry!
Kabir, sorry.
You can hit me back, Kabir!
Kabir
You know, this entire obsession
with bodybuilding and gymming
I got it from Dheeraj.
He was my first boyfriend.
My gym trainer.
He was ten years older than me.
Married, with kids.
Two of them.
He even took me on holiday
with his family once.
But we looked at life very differently.
After a point, I started resenting him.
I got bored.
Then I started avoiding him.
I'd keep ignoring his calls.
He called so many times, man!
Tried so hard to meet me.
I even changed my gym.
And you know what's funny?
Now I'm the Dheeraj
in Kabir's life.
But it's okay.
It really is. I deserve this.
I totally deserve it.
Bye, Sister!
HALDWANI
Greetings.
Is everyone here?
Yes! It's her first Diwali
here, we'll all celebrate together.
-Look, they're here!
-They are here.
-Greetings.
-How are you?
-May God bless you with a son!
-Greetings.
-Greetings, Uncle.
-Greetings.
Bless you.
May you have many sons!
Go, show them their room!
Why the special treatment?
I'll sleep in the room
with all the other men.
Don't act all innocent now.
Like we don't know what you're up to!
You really have no idea what he's up to!
I'll tell you all about it sometime.
Why don't you have water?
Come on!
For a boy, for a girl.
She's been prepared for 12 years now.
Now you need to do your bit.
So? It's almost been a year!
You've had your fun.
This lovey-dovey romance
doesn't last long.
You don't know our brother.
He's been a ladies' man
since his school days!
Oh, come on, you
Let me tell you one thing.
A child is the glue that
keeps a marriage intact.
One must have one's own kid.
Children are the greatest investment.
After a certain age,
who do you depend on?
On them?
It's only your child
who will look after you.
Where are you going?
To watch TV.
Look!
Wants to sleep during study-hours.
And when it's bed-time,
he wants to watch TV!
Kids are a headache!
You have no life left,
apart from running after them.
You're confusing me now.
Should one have kids or not?
Anshu!
Anshu! Where's this brat!
I'll remove the batteries
from the remote!
Anshu!
Your family's putting so much
pressure to have a baby.
Why don't we adopt a child?
Adopt? Are you nuts?
What do you mean?
Have you lost it? My family
doesn't believe in all this.
It's your folks who've lost it.
Going on and on
about having a baby.
Is there nothing else to talk about?
Well, they complain that
you backchat too much.
What do you expect me to do?
Be a mute doll?
It's just a matter of few days.
Play the dutiful daughter-in-law.
-Why are--
-Stop the rickshaw.
-Stop the rickshaw, now!
-What happened?
What happened?
Hey!
Where are you going?
What happened?
I thought gay men are more
sensitive than straight men.
But you're a total MCP!
MC-- What?
I said "MCP"!
Men who consider women
to be inferior beings!
Oh, that!
That's cool.
What does being gay have
to do with it? All men believe that!
Nonsense!
Hold on.
Being gay doesn't mean
one forgets one's values!
Really? If you have
such strong values,
why don't you go tell
your family the truth?
Tell them that the light of their
clan is a torch with no flame.
And that you cannot light
the hearth of their home!
-You're crossing a line now.
-Am I, really?
-Shardul!
-Really?
-You're here!
-Hey!
-Shardul--
-Greetings.
-Hello. God bless you.
-God bless you.
-Namaste.
-That's Mr. Sharma and Mrs. Sharma.
They live two houses away.
This is Suman.
Stay blessed, my dear.
She's so pretty!
You're very lucky, son.
Hey, mister!
How long will you take? Come on!
I'll be there in two minutes.
Both defending champions
are baying for each other's blood!
Here.
What will be today's result?
Does it hurt a lot?
Will this truly become
hell in a cell!
This is where men mount
other men night after night!
He tries to treat him like a kid--
What's all this violence?
Don't you watch films?
I do.
Okay.
Who's your favorite actress?
Tiger Shroff's my favorite.
Favorite actress?
Don't have one!
Do you have a girlfriend?
I don't like girls.
Really?
His teacher told me that
he kissed a girl in class.
What's her name?
Hey.
-He kissed a girl?
-That's right!
Anshu!
The bout which began aggressively
has seen everything now!
But the defending champion
cannot escape humiliation now!
And you thought he was
up against a kid!
Where have you been, man?
I poured myself a drink already.
Sumi has a headache.
I just went to give her balm.
Your brother-in-law's a doctor,
and you're depending on balm?
No, I just--
Let me have a look.
I'll fix the root cause of the pain!
-What is it, migraine?
-No, not a migraine.
Then what?
It's just, since we got here.
What?
Everyone's after her to have a baby.
It's stressing her out.
But they're right, aren't they?
Tell me.
It's almost a year since
you got married, right?
Look at me.
First night, single shot.
Job done!
She was like
It's my sister you're talking about!
What?
No! I'm not talking about
that kind of sex.
Sex for procreation
doesn't count as sex anyway.
It's a moral duty
towards your family.
Understood?
Let's have a drink?
Here's a piece of advice.
Have a kid while you're still young.
Or else imagine, you're
on your way to the funeral pyre,
and your son is so small,
that he's clapping,
"Papa is dead!
Papa is dead! Papa--"
Now you're killing me?
You're in some mood today.
What's Sumi's age, by the way?
Sumi's almost 32.
Don't forget that
after a certain age, women
start having complications.
By the way, your equipment's
working, right?
Of course! I'm perfectly fine!
What's the matter then?
What is the problem?
The problem, well
Come on, you can tell me.
No, you'll tell someone.
Of course not. I'm a doctor.
Many patients confide in me.
Tell me.
I've never told this to anyone.
Actually, I took Sumi to a doctor.
He said that Sumi
can't have a child.
She's barren?
Please don't tell anyone.
Of course not!
Whom would I tell?
-Hurry up, Nishi!
-Greetings.
Where's she stuck?
There
-Hey, Baby!
-See you!
Come on!
Do I have to come as well?
Yes! Come, get inside.
What will I do there?
Come, quick!
Why are we here?
Just meeting the
doctor for two minutes.
Then we'll go shopping.
Looks like a boy to me.
No, Mom. You were just
like this during Chutki.
It's going to be a girl.
Rekha!
Let's go.
Will all of you come along?
Sumi, come.
Come on.
Why didn't you tell me?
Tell you what?
That you're having issues
regarding the "issue"!
Issue?
"Issue"!
-Where are they?
-28
Call them and ask,
what's the issue?
-Hello.
-Where are you?
In the bathroom, giving a sample.
Bathroom?
Didn't you go to the market?
And, what sample?
Urine sample?
Why are you giving a
urine sample in the market?
I'm not at the market.
I'm in a hospital bathroom
where I'm supposed
to give a urine sample.
Why? What's the issue?
Forgot what you did last night?
You told your brother-in-law
that I can't get pregnant.
So, your family lied
and brought me here.
Now what?
Hang up, what else!
Or will you help me pee?
Couldn't hold it in, right?
-Stop the car.
-Aunt.
-I need to pee!
-Go on.
Told you I wasn't needed.
-Hang the flowers.
-No, give it to me.
-Give me the lights!
-But you--
-Shardul.
-I want to--
I'll be back.
Put it over here.
-Get the other one.
-Okay.
-Lower. Keep the gaps equal.
-There is a gap.
-Shardul!
-The leaves as well.
Shardul!
Come down!
Can't you see I'm busy?
Will you come down,
or should I come up?
Go downstairs, I'll come.
Why are the flowers so dry?
-Hey!
-Come down!
I'll fall! What are you doing!
Where will you run?
I'm a sports teacher.
I run after kids all day!
I have lots of stamina!
What did you tell your brother-in-law?
What did you say?
Don't you think before you speak?
Shardul, stop!
Shardul Thakur, I said stop!
This was your plan?
Now everyone knows.
Soon it'll be on your
"Thakur Rocks" WhatsApp group.
What will you do
once the reports arrive?
-Have you thought of that?
-Here you are!
It's time for the prayer ceremony.
And here's a gift for you.
-Thank you, Auntie.
-And this is for you.
Wear them.
Consistent with the tested sample
this specimen--
The reports are all fine!
So, was Shardul lying?
No!
Our boy would never lie!
Right, Baby?
No.
The girl must've said something.
Whenever you bring up the baby,
she starts sulking.
You think Shardul is a saint?
I think they're hand-in-glove.
But how?
Ever seen them talk
nicely to one another?
They're always fighting.
Pihu has noticed as well.
Tell them?
Yes! There's something fishy.
I even offered them my room.
They didn't even take it!
-They sleep separately.
-Tell me.
Which man keeps his hands
off his wife in the first year?
I think one of us
needs to go to Dehradun
to keep a watch on them.
You go.
I'm talking to you!
You're his mother, for God's sake!
Of course!
-Alright, Auntie.
-God bless!
Thank God the reports are fine.
Next time we meet,
the baby should be
in your arms, not your womb!
Let's go!
Yes.
Someone take my bags, please!
I'll help you.
Where are you going?
-To keep watch!
-I will take it.
She kept saying that she
wants to see her son's house!
So I said, you don't need
anyone's permission! Go ahead!
But what about her ticket?
I got her a quota ticket.
Pulled a few strings!
Okay hurry up,
or you'll miss the train!
Auntie, don't forget your BP medicine!
What will we do now?
Who are you calling?
Don't we need to inform Rimjhim?
God knows what will happen now.
Shall I sit in front?
Keep in touch!
Can't reach her.
HALDWANI
The number you have dialed
What's up?
God knows why she's
switched off her phone!
-That Timtim!
-Her name's Rimjhim!
-Why don't you call her lab?
-I don't have the number.
-Search the internet then!
-My data isn't working.
-How the hell is it not working?
-What are you doing?
Oh, yeah! Mine isn't working either.
Sumi
Sumu!
Give me her number.
I'll try calling her.
If I knew it, would I be sitting
here twiddling my thumbs?
Thank God, just the phone fell.
What if I had fallen too?
Look at the bright side!
Sir, is the train on time?
It'll reach in an hour.
-Jai hind, sir.
-Hi, Naaznin.
Hold on a second.
Naaznin, you know Millennium Lab,
at the Jogiwallah crossing?
Yes, sir.
Okay, go there and ask for Rimjhim.
Call me when you meet her.
Who's Rimjhim?
-She's a cousin.
-Whose cousin? Yours?
Whether she's my cousin, your cousin,
Sumi's cousin or my Dad's cousin
who gives a shit!
Just do as I say!
Jai hind!
You still talk to Naaznin?
She works with me at the station.
Should I not maintain law and order?
Hello, ma'am.
Does Rimjhim work here?
What are we doing?
We're waiting for a porter.
Yeah, Naaznin.
Yeah, give her the phone.
Hello?
I've been trying
to call you for hours.
Why's your phone switched off?
I'm getting my number ported.
Couldn't you do it another day?
Was I supposed to
ask your permission?
Listen, stop arguing now
and quickly pack your bags.
-Mom's coming over.
-Whose Mom?
God, my Mom!
Nice try!
I'm not lying, swear on my mum!
-I don't trust you!
-What?
She wants to talk to you.
She talks to Naaznin as well?
Yeah, we're all friends now.
Let's go.
Let's go.
-Taxi?
-Yes, sir?
-Are you available?
-Absolutely.
Take it via the toll!
But that's a longer route, sir.
It'll have less traffic,
take it from there.
I can take it via the clock
tower, it'll be quicker.
You'll teach a cop
what route to take?
Show your ID!
ID.
Show it to him, not me!
Okay, sir.
One second, take this turn.
No, actually take that turn.
What are you doing?
Turn in your direction.
No, go back!
Take that turn. What are you doing?
We're stuck in traffic now!
Jai hind, sir.
-Yeah, tell me.
-She's leaving, sir.
I've booked her an auto.
Okay, great.
Thank you, Naaznin.
Jai hind.
Why are you taking such a long route?
Take this left, it's a shortcut.
Sir, stop!
We've reached, Mom!
There's a beautiful park.
All facilities, no stress.
Take it easy, Mom.
SHARDUL THAKUR
S.I, UTTARAKHAND POLICE
You are here!
What the hell are you doing here!
You scared me!
Mom's here! You--
Breathe.
I can't find my wallet.
You are--
Mom's here.
Get out!
Actually, go inside!
-Don't step out!
-My wallet
-We're here.
-Hey--
This isn't our house!
-What?
-Our house is upstairs!
It's been such a long vacation,
Sumi must be confused.
-Which floor do you live on?
-Mom, let's go up.
Let's go.
My back hurts.
Just a bit more.
Come on, Sumi!
How could we forget our house!
Don't know what's going on.
Can't remember anything nowadays!
Mom, can you soak almonds
for me like you used to before?
-Sumi, you must have them as well.
-Yes!
They just melt in your mouth!
-How much further up?
-We're almost there.
Who knows, one day Sumi
might forget I'm her husband!
Here we are.
-The terrace?
-We've reached?
-It's the terrace!
-We have reached.
Look Sumi, Mom!
We're on the terrace!
-Wow, the terrace!
-What a beautiful view!
Mom! Those mountains there,
that's Mussoorie!
Do I have to trek
up to Mussoorie now?
Of course not!
That tall building there
Already scaled a mountain
I'm done.
Our police station's right behind it.
And behind that is our school!
And Mom, that's-- Mom?
That's the one!
SHARDUL THAKUR
S.I, DEHRADUN POLICE
Who's she?
-She's--
-A cousin!
Whose cousin?
The DSP's wife
Her cousin! She has the duplicate keys.
-Yes.
-Oh.
Right.
They don't have a western
toilet, so she uses ours at times.
How is ma'am?
-She's good.
-Great!
Oh, God!
Take your time.
-Namaste.
-Namaste.
Bye!
They stay in a tiny
room, with a small bed.
If it's a small bed, why
aren't they having a baby?
Baby, you must talk to
Sumi's family about the issue.
They must bear some
responsibility as well!
And don't keep napping.
Do what you've been sent to do.
Sumi.
-Milk?
-Yes.
Drink up!
-Namaste!
-Namaste.
-This is Naaznin. She works with Shardul.
-Namaste.
This is my son, Zoheb.
Children grow up so fast these days!
Who knows when she will go?
How is Mom?
She's exactly like Shardul.
Just the same, no differ--
Baby, listen to me.
Just sit there and watch TV all night.
Don't budge.
Watch any channel you want
You need me to tell you this as well?
Mom!
It's okay. We're all adults here.
What are you up to? Go, sleep inside!
Yes.
But I'm not sleepy at all.
I was watching this film.
I really like
Why are you snooping on us?
Will your sitting here help us conceive?
We are trying.
And if there's such a
hurry, we'll adopt a child!
-Should we?
-Adopt a child?
Adopt a child? Why?
She'll lose her figure by
bearing one, that's why!
How will she flaunt her jeans then?
Listen Baby. Enough of being a mother.
It's time to be a mother-in-law!
Be a mother-in-law? How?
Baby, go and get a pen and paper.
Can't I get her to
speak to you directly?
Just write!
Okay, one minute.
I'll note it down.
Yes, tell me.
Sumi, you should come home on time now.
If you spend all your
energy in school, then
what will be left for home and
And stop wearing
pant-shirt all the time.
Doll up a little because, you know
after all, it's a wife's duty
to entice her husband!
Is there more?
Shall I read it?
It is--
Is the handwriting legible?
"Turn off the lights while sleeping.
-It's because--"
-"Even men feel shy at times!"
-Can I keep this?
-Of course. It's for you, after all.
Thank God!
Just look at this!
Like my school sends a circular
your family has sent this.
A manual on "How To Have a Baby"!
Prayers in the morning,
adult talk in the evening,
and spying at night!
They're after my life!
She even spoke to my parents.
Now they're hounding me as well.
What did you tell them?
Told them off, what else?
I'm not like you!
Going on and on about a baby.
How do I give them a baby?
Should we have sex for them now?
Should we?
What?
Have sex.
I mean a child.
Our families will stop cribbing.
We could try.
You want to have a child.
Basically you want to have sex?
I always had my doubts about him!
-Quiet.
-I think he's Bi.
He stares at me when I wear shorts.
-I stare at you?
-Yes, you do!
She roams around in such tiny shorts.
I'm worried about what people will say!
And who are you calling "Bi"?
Who got drunk and forced her?
I forced her? Will you say something?
She's accusing me in public.
My colleagues will throw me behind bars!
They should!
All you do is talk rubbish
and make rubbish plans.
So, my plan was rubbish?
And what about you? Even made a plan?
No, because you're brainless!
You have dung for brains!
Go make dung-cakes, not plans!
What cakes?
Dung cake--
Dried cakes of cow-dung used
as fuel, with fingerprints all over?
Am I here to explain dung-cakes to you?
Go, make a better plan!
-What are they doing?
-Ma'am, stop these guys!
They can't marry like this!
It's illegal, right?
Don't get bothered.
They're just kids partying.
What party? It's a whole-ass
wedding procession!
They're dancing and mocking our culture!
-Do you see a groom on a horse?
-Get back!
Drums are played even during
India-Pakistan cricket matches!
Have faith in the law.
Such a marriage isn't
recognized by courts.
-Damn right, it isn't!
-Yeah, relax, why make a ruckus--
Get back!
Come, dance with me! Join the celebration!
-Sir, that guy there.
-Yes.
-Don't be shy, come on!
-Look at that guy.
-Dance and enjoy!
-What's your problem?
That guy looks high.
He'll cause trouble.
He must be a junkie.
Really? Dimri!
Yes, sir?
Call that guy, the one in the jacket.
Sir is calling you.
Sir's calling you!
Why are you wearing a mask?
Are you ashamed?
Sir?
Yes.
Name?
Unnamed!
Title?
Tytler.
Sir, he's definitely drunk.
-Are you drunk?
-No.
Here, in my hand.
Here. Blow, don't spit.
A turn upon a criss-cross path
Fireflies flit a luminous swath
When impish eyes flout every rule
Barriers break, mischief unspools
The mind is hooked
This sucker-mind's hooked
It's dazzled and shook
This sucker-mind's hooked
The mind is hooked
This sucker-mind's hooked
It's dazzled and shook
This sucker-mind's hooked
This love has me caught in a loop
Let's hold hands and fly the coop
This love has me caught in a loop
Let's hold hands and fly the coop
Mom?
Mom!
Is this fine?
Point number nine was
"entice your husband."
So, will this work?
Yes?
Yes? Then let's take a picture.
We can send it to Auntie.
Take a full-length one.
-Let's not send it to her.
-Why?
-Should it be shorter?
-No, no, no!
-I can make it shorter. No worries!
-No! This is fine.
The kheer is getting burnt.
Mom, I've been following
all your instructions
but it's futile.
Actually, Mom
it's your gun that's firing blanks.
What?
You know what I mean?
Your young gun
Shardul.
Oh, wow, kheer!
What happened?
Couldn't resist overeating?
Okay then, go take a run.
Will you have some?
Mom, what happened?
What happened? What--
Sumi? Mom?
Sumi?
Sumi!
Sumi!
I'm looking for you all over
and you're here, jogging!
What?
Drop the act!
Mom told me.
You lied about me to her!
So? You also told
everyone that I was infertile.
So, is this revenge?
I made a good plan.
It didn't work, but it
was well intended!
What the hell is this?
What have you done!
Why are you getting so stressed?
This time, the plan will work.
The report will say
your sperm count is low.
My sperm count?
We'll leave on Sunday, right?
My sperm count?
Have you seen my family?
We're like a child-rearing factory!
Papa was in the forces,
so he wasn't home often.
Or I would've had a bunch of siblings!
My sperm count!
Dude, your test will happen
in Rimjhim's lab, right?
So? Do men's sperm counts
dry up in Rimjhim's lab?
You're just like your mother!
But who is Shardul firing at?
Shardul, if the test
happens in Rimjhim's lab,
then the results will
be in her control, right?
But that's illegal! And I'm a cop!
And then you'll prove that I'm impotent?
I'm not impotent. Important--
It's very important that we go!
I'm not impotent, Sumi!
-I'll stay at my folks' today.
-Why?
Your report arrives today,
I might burst out laughing.
Did you pass the test?
It's not a civil services exam!
I saw your report, buddy.
Man, there's no scope
of passing the test.
Don't be disheartened
I've spoken to everyone.
And they've agreed.
Agreed to what?
Sumi, Shardul's here!
It's all God's will.
We just found out.
It hasn't shrunk.
Oh, his heart!
Don't let this shrink your heart, son.
Tonsils?
No, it's just her ritual vow of silence!
What are you doing here?
Can we talk?
-Please go ahead.
-Come.
Shrink-- Your brain has shrunk!
What happened?
-I kind of screwed up.
-What now?
You know how Mom
was always snooping on us
-Yes.
-and you were really stressed.
So one night, I just told her
Now what did you tell her?
Didn't you once say that
we could adopt a child.
Yes?
So, everyone's now on
board with the idea of adoption.
They agreed?
We can adopt a kid?
Yeah.
Did you really want a child?
Of course, since forever!
Really?
Why, you don't want one?
No, I mean I never
really thought about it.
It wasn't really possible, so
Sumi! I'm so happy!
Yeah?
NIBHA DEVI PANT ADOPTION CENTER
The adoption process is online now.
That's the official website.
You both can fill in your details on it.
Anyway, your case is genuine.
So, I think you should be
able to adopt a baby soon.
Thank you, sir.
Here it goes.
Oh, she's hungry.
Yes, looks like it.
Shall we go?
She is looking at you.
-Thank you.
-Thank you.
Bye.
-Bye, Varnika!
-Bye.
To Junior Thakur!
Why Thakur? Why not Singh?
-The child gets the Dad's surname!
-Hey!
Why?
-It will be my child as well.
-Absolutely!
In that case, he's the Dad as well!
No.
I'm only interested in Senior Thakur!
Okay enough, it's a public place.
Sumi.
Let me tell you
I'll be a very strict Dad.
-Mom, hurry up!
-It's already on the move!
-Run faster!
-This--
-How much faster? It's gone!
-Hey!
Let it be now.
You barely brought anything.
How long does it take you to pack?
Why are you so hassled?
As if you booked the ticket.
Anup did it, he'll do it again.
I'll let him know.
Yeah, Anup can do everything, right?
It's not that easy.
I was just texting you.
You've got to leave.
-Why?
-We missed the train. Mom's with me.
Hello, Auntie!
Oh, no! You missed the train!
Well, at least I got a
chance to meet you.
-Won't you introduce us?
-He's my friend, Guru.
So, you're old friends?
No, we met pretty recently.
But we became really thick very soon.
Almost like a married couple!
You see, I'm a lawyer, he's a cop.
It's a love-hate relationship
just like husband and wife.
Right, Tiger?
So, you met in court?
No! At Amit and Harsh's wedding.
-Amita and Harsh's wedding!
-Amita?
Yeah, poor Amita.
He keeps calling her Amit!
How come you never told me about him?
Yeah, I
Auntie, you know what!
I don't believe in hiding my feelings.
-Oh, God!
-We've reached.
Wait, we're still talking!
Hold on.
Can I call you Mom?
I lost my mother, you see.
-Of course, you can call me Mom!
-Mom!
How sweet!
Come, Mom.
Please come.
Have a cup of tea.
Oh, no!
He's getting very late.
-You carry on, I'll get your luggage.
-Alright then.
-See you later, Mom!
-Yes.
What the hell was that?
I was just pulling your leg!
Why, can't I?
Can't I?
You're pointlessly getting hyper!
So today's plan is
No, why? I'll be right back.
Wait.
What happened?
What?
Yeah.
Sumi
don't tell them about me.
Please.
Pervert.
What did you just say?
Say it again! I dare you!
Isn't that what you really are?
What do I tell my friends,
that my sister's a lesbian?
Sick freak!
Watch your mouth,
or I'll smash your face!
You'll teach him how to behave?
-You?
-He's ten years younger than me!
How can he talk to me like that?
Look at her! Just look at her.
She doesn't have an ounce of shame!
Lower your eyes.
Lower them!
You've been cheating
your parents all your life.
Why didn't you just die?
I wish you died!
Will you say something?
Why are you silent?
I'm going to the shop.
What happened at home today,
it didn't surprise me one bit.
I had replayed this situation
in my head so many times.
How all of you would react
whether you'd even understand me.
Everything Mom said today,
I felt I had heard it before.
I felt really mad at Naman
but I knew he'd probably
say something like that.
But when it came to you
I thought that like always,
you'll wrap me in a hug and say,
"Sumi, no matter what happens
no matter what the world
says, your Papa has your back."
You're struggling to say it, right?
I understand.
But can't you still say it
once, just for my sake?
Please, Papa?
Scold me
if you're angry.
But please don't be like this?
Please say something, Papa.
Why did it have to be us?
Man, you're an experienced guy.
How could you not sense it?
Even while getting intimate?
Did anything even
happen between you two?
What kind of policeman are you?
You were being robbed in broad
daylight, and you just sat quiet.
He was quietly suffering for her sins.
I changed my clothes so
many times in front of her!
Imagine
she used to sleep next to me!
I feel repulsed thinking of it.
Even Homeopathy has
no cure for this disease.
What?
Do you all hear yourself?
You feel repulsed. Why?
And you're a doctor, Brother-in-law.
You should at least
know this isn't a disease.
It's perfectly natural.
No one asks you to decide and
choose between men and women.
The feeling comes from within, right?
God created them this way.
Homosexuals are as human as all of you.
And you know
who Sumi is?
She's a really nice girl.
She hasn't cheated me.
I knew everything.
This big family of mine
it's always given me
more love than I deserve.
And yet I've always felt alone.
I could never share
my truth with anyone.
There was no one
other than her.
So, if you're so repulsed by her
you should be repulsed by me as well.
If you think she's sick
Then I'm sick as well.
Because gay, homo, homosexuals
whatever you want to call it
it
I am that as well.
I'm gay.
Hello?
Hello, Shardul?
I can't hear you.
Hello?
Hello.
Sumi, I told them.
I told everyone.
Shardul, I'll call you later.
In the evening, okay?
It's time for my class.
Yeah, alright.
Our world is just as beautiful
As we are within
Wherever you are
Where there's peace
Is where will I be
Roads to the heart
filled with love
This caravan of ours
Fueled by love
Taking fresh wing
Anew, emerging
Souls unleashing
Seamlessly mingling
We are the color of each light
Together keep shining bright
We are the color of each light
Together keep shining bright
Bring forth a color
We bring another
From the sea drawn
Lifted off the dawn
A color sweet
A savory treat
The color of the moon
From a star strewn
DON'T BE AFRAID TO FALL IN LOVE
Our world is just as beautiful
As we are within
Wherever you are
Where there's peace
Is where will I be
We are the color of each light
Together keep shining bright
We are the color of each light
Together keep shining bright
Road to the heart, filled with love
This caravan of ours, fueled by love
Taking fresh wing, anew emerging
Souls unleashing, seamlessly mingling
-Our world is just as beautiful
-This caravan of ours, fueled by love
-Souls unleashing, seamlessly mingling

Wherever you are
Where there's peace
Is where will I be
The DSP's wife really misses you.
Keeps asking, "Where's Sumi?"
Really? What did you tell her?
The truth! That you're a hoe
who ran off with her cousin!
-Did you get the message?
-What message?
We have an appointment on Monday,
2:00 p.m. with the divorce counselor.
Am I such a bad husband,
that you're divorcing me?
Actually I got a message as well.
Our adoption application
has been approved.
Couldn't you avoid
getting caught a bit longer?
At least we would have a child.
Sumi and I have decided
not to get divorced.
We'll live together like before
as husband and wife.
Because we both want a
child, we're adopting a baby.
Single women can adopt,
but because I'm lesbian,
I don't have the legal right to.
So, we're adopting together.
Our country's law says that only
"normal" married couples can adopt.
Now how do we convince everyone
that we are as normal as anyone.
Now it's up to you whether you
want to accept our marriage or not.
This marriage was a compromise
before, and it remains a compromise.
Earlier it was because of all of you,
and now because of the law.
-Please sit.
-Okay.
King-King can happen.
King-Queen can happen.
But Queen-Queen can't happen.
But these two?
They're women.
I was talking about men.
-Shall we begin?
-Absolutely.
Parents, please extend their hands.
Please continue, sir.
Fold your hands.
-Go there.
-Namaste. Please come.
The ceremony's still on?
-Have a seat.
-Namaste.
Tea?
No, I don't--
Rimjhim.
Rimjhim.
Go sit next to Sumi.
Go!
Go on.
A mother must be
present at the ceremony.
Mr. Tytler, you also come and sit.
I'm not asking you to be a father.
I just want you by my side.
