You are a Vegan, right?
No! Not at all...
Then it's a problem
"IT'S NO! IT'S NO!"
"IT'S NO! IT'S NO!"
"One doesn't like this face..."
"They want no belly, only six-pack"
"One wants a car..."
"One wants farmhouse"
"One wants in-laws"
"Where do I get the six-pack and house?"
"Where can I get parents,
they're long gone..."
"Every day I'm plagued
with these questions"
"A new one comes everyday

"IT'S NO! IT'S NO!"
You...
Have you given someone else's photo?
You have cheated me...
No, no... please
Here, take this...
You don't know what dreams I
had painted... - Yes, here, take this
What do I do now?
Please, calm down... calm down
- I hate you...
- Oh...?
Hey...?
I want a Couple Goal...
Not a rotund couple...
I'm so sorry... Better luck next time...
The face is all right...
But the smile is off...
Huh?
You know what? I want a smile like Nawaz
Hello, uncle...
Yes, you... um... hasn't your son come?
Uh... I...
I was telling you... exercise.
But no! Now take this...
- Do you have any that sort of problem?
- That sort of-
OMG! No, no... I'm perfectly all right
Then how come you aren't married yet?
- Well, you see...
- Hmmmm...
"IT'S NO!"
24 lakhs
What?
My package...
Ohhh...
Let's talk further only

"IT'S NO!"
Wow! Great! So? What have you decided?
Actually...
Another boy is coming here...
What a...

Dear Mom and Dad, please bless your son.
I've met 34 girls before this one but your
blessings perhaps weren't enough...
And someone meeting 34 girls is no joke...
You fully blessed the 35th, and
today, your son is getting married to her
Please bless me...
Ah! Aha! Mukta
Bishop moves in cross.
- And I use it to kill.
- I swear.
You are unbelievable.
Engaged?
How can she talk to anyone on phone now?
Isha Mahajan, where-
'Not Mahajan, Ghatpande...'
'If you want to meet, come
to the next sqauare right now!'
NOW?
- 'Yes! Right now!'
- But....
'Come fast, yeah?
I don't have time...'
- I mean...
- 'Else I'll go...'
'You have 3 minutes! Come fast!'
- You mean NOW?
- 'YES! NOW!'
- Coming...
- 'Right!'
I'll go... Hmm...
"IT'S NO! IT'S NO!"
Now the 36th...
If we want to riot
We can do it right now...
My daughter's marriage
isn't getting fixed, Babaji
We have tried so much...
But all we hear is a NO!
How many vows can I keep, after all?
Whatever you told...
I did everything
I... I kept the holy ash under her pillow
- I daubed it on the throat...
- Uh oh...
When did this happen?
I mean daubed the ash on HER throat
Ah!
Whenever she goes to
meet the prospective groom...
Every time I observe silence...
But no use, whatsoever
Today is the last Monday
of what you said, Babaji...
Today something must happen...
Jai ho!
Listen...
Have you joined Hindi speaking course?
Will you please shut up?
Babaji...
Come what may, I want to hear YES today
You think it's easy to
keep quiet the whole day?
Of course not!
Then...! It's so very
tough... My God!
Let's keep that aside for now...
But tell me...
In fixing HER marriage
why did you stop MY Old Monk?
That I did... So that this old monk
lives the rest of his life happily
- Got it?
- Hmmm...
Oh God! It's past 9 am? This girl has no
sense of time, I tell you...
Gayu... Hey, Gayu...
Do what she wants... Baba...
Gayu...
Gayu...
Gayu, wake up, girl...
How long do you loll in the bed...
You have to go see that boy...
come on get up
Mom, you can't see your
daughter happy, do you?
Yeah, I know that...
Let me sleep, yaar...
Look here, drape a nice sari from these...
and a nice, little
bindi matching it... OK?
Now wake up... you...
Wake up... fast... come on...
What is this?
To hell with your saris...
They suffocate me... you know..
Oh, is it?
And these skimpy clothes don't?
Even my handkerchief is bigger than them
And yes...
Don't forget to daub
Amarendrababa's holy ash...
Last night I had kept it under your pillow
What the-?
I don't want to get married...
Gayu, don't you do that, yeah?
I don't want to get married and all...
This is getting too much...
Girls your age have two children now...
and you are still at seeing the boys ...
Look at that Vanita...
The other day she brought sweets...
Her son has passed tenth grade...
Nothing doing, Gayu...
Today, you must fix it...
Vanita had eloped when
she was in 12th grade
Looking at that...
She should have in fact come with
her son's wedding card...
Hey... listen, Gayu...
Today' boy is very nice...
Yeah? ...I mean...
He looks a bit younger in the photo...
But I really liked him...
- Hmm?
- Yes!
- Then marry him...
- Don't fool with me, Gayu, OK?
And... preferably choose the green sari
Do you hear me?
Oh, gosh! Aai, I'm not
going to wear sari yaar...
Aai... Please give me my bathrobe...
Everything you want served
to you... don't you?
You are one lazy girl...
- Here...
- Thank you...
And basically, sari is not worn...
It's draped... OK
And don't forget the bindi...
Don't go with plain forehead...
Aai...
- Now what?
- Shall I do one thing...
Shall I go like this... in a hot pant? Um?
And a crop-top above it
You know, he will be flat
the moment he sees me
We are preparing for marriage...
Not for honeymoon...
Shameless girl!
- Vibha...
- Yeah?
- See who's there?
- Yes....
Who was it? Vibha?
Ummm....
Hey, this breakfast...
Have you gone crazy, or what?
I told you not to eat bread...
and you eat sandwich?
You're pregnant! Look at your
tummy, in case you have forgotten
You can't eat no junk food...
Dadu, it's wheat-bread... Chill!
Look... If you order
and eat such products...
I will dispatch you to
your in-laws' house...
- I'm warning you! You just don't listen...
- All right!
You too be like my in-laws...
There, that woman, my
mom-in-law does the same...
Eat this, eat that, don't
eat this don't eat that...
I'm sick of all that...
You must eat all that...
the baby will be a genius
She's MY baby... she WOULD be a genius
I'm worried precisely
because she is your baby
You must eat all this...
That would make the baby healthy.
What? You want my baby
to be a wrestler, or what?
OK, don't you teach me things
And all this apple, mixed grain flour...
almonds, cashew nuts, dates...
all this must be eaten...
Until you finish all this
I'll stand here
Hey, Dada please... don't
you stand here, I'm eating
Come on... start... I'm eating...
you go and do your things. I'll eat it
Hey... where are you going?
I'll go in and eat at the table
Hmm...
Parcel arriving today?
What did I order?
Why are you laughing?
Sari for dear sister from Sundaram Silk
Every time I go to meet a
girl, you're going to purchase a new sari?
Of course! I'd need
for the wedding, won't I?
And I know... this is my only chance
Once you get married,
you will forget me...
Let me make hay while
the sun shines, please?
Oh, I see!
Just wait till my marriage is fixed
I'll not buy you even
a towel, you will see...
OK. Don't buy...
I'll ask Gayatri to indulge me...
Haha!
I'll tell Gayatri, don't-
How do you know I'm meeting Gayatri today?
Gayatri Desai
Dada, it's a beautiful name...
- Please don't change it after marriage...
- Shut up
Gayatri Shrikant Desai
Age 25
Product Manager...?
I see, Product Manager...
Dada... wait, wait wait
Don't you talk to her
in your boring language, ok?
And listen, listen...
Tell me something... Are you
meeting her at Hippie@Heart?
Do you even know what they serve there?
Don't teach me things, ok?
And how many times have I
told you not to touch my things?
Didn't your mother-in-law teach you?
Not to poke your nose in others' affairs?
On the contrary, I'm being
taught how to do exactly that...
Wow!
What kind of upbringing
the baby is going to have...
By the way Dadu, listen...
You are going to wear THIS shirt?
What a stupid shirt?
What lousy combination?
Not looking good...
Hey! This is my lucky shirt... got it?
Oh no, Dada...
- Yes?
- Be warned... She's going to judge you
Listen to me... Please change the shirt
Why don't you wear
some vibrant colour shirt?
Let me decide what I
should wear... and you...
Don't call and tell Suman Atya anything
until something works out...
- Got it?
- I've already told her...
You already told her?
Why did you have to tell her?
I have told you umpteen times...
Never tell things before they are final
Sometimes even the
close ones' eyes can prove evil
Hey, the close ones
never have evil eyes, OK?
On the contrary, their
concerns are well-meaning
Hah!
What hah? It's true...
You tell me and I listen...
You are convinced, that's enough
- Inside...
- I'm doing it, I'm doing it...
I'll eat the mixed flour...
almonds... walnuts...
That's my sister!
OK. Shall I?
Yes
Bye! Bye!
And listen... I'll message you
what to order, order only that...
Bye...
- Bye!
- All the best!
Good Morning!
Good Morning!
Girl got educated, progressed and
she has become adamant. Tell them.
Don't ever listen to me OK?
Go away... I won't indulge you
- Did I ask too much in draping a green sari?
- You are looking great!
- But why listen to mom?
- Thank you!
Well, your praising isn't
going to help avoid this, Baba
Ah, yes!
Extend your hand... sorry
It's sweet...
Too much, in fact...
You sugar has shot up, Baba...
If you sneak up to fridge today...
- You've had it...
- Go on, eat...
Steal and eat all the ice cream
Hey, I won't even go
near the fridge today...
- Haha!
- I swear!
Don't look at me like that...
Gentleman's promise!
- Hmmm... Shall I check gentleman's BP now?
- Yeah, go ahead!
Baba, it's on borderline...
You behave like this
and I have to listen to the doctor uncle
Who? That Bembtya?
I don't know who made
that Barve a doctor...
You know... I too have decided now...
What? Henceforth I too shall
take medicines from compounder
But Baba, jokes apart...
Please take this seriously now...
My dear, today there's no
question of my BP shooting up
Why?
You are going to meet
a boy today, aren't you?
That means, the moment you step
out, your Mom's vow of silence begins
Amarendra Baba...
So, the chances of my
BP shooting up are zero
All right!
I'm getting late,
I'll leave now...
I got to go
Baba, what's this?
That's not mine... I have
stopped a long time ago
- Oh, is it?
- Yes!
All right
I guess I'll throw this now...
Ugh... why...
Listen... that...
What... did you say the
name of that professor is?
Oh my god! That's tough...
Umm...
Some Kesari...what's that?
Athashri Mahajan...
Ah! Athashri
But you will... - Yes... I know
He is the one I'm meeting now
But I'm going to be quick and go to office,
I've a very important meeting, Baba
Gayu, Gayu, Gayu... Gayu
Just, just one minute, wait...
Daub these ashes...
Eek, no, no...
Then at least carry this pack-
- Aai, please...
- No, I'm not going to listen...
Let it be...
Now you will see, you are going to
hear YES.
Bye...
My little baby...
Bye...
Be safe, yeah?
Gayu...
Hey, Gayu...
- Yeah, I'm on my way ...
- Bring durva and flowers on the way back...
Tomorrow is Angaraki...
I need it for my puja...
Yes, I'm on my way...
Come downstairs I'll pick you up
Hello, now I am observing silence...OK?
You do your things by yourself...
Listen Adu, don't
reschedule our 11.30 con call...
I'll reach in time...
And Paddy?
Tell him to shut his trap...
Just don't talk in front of the client
Whatever it is, I'll handle when I come...
- And I'm supposed to say this to him?
- Why? Of course!
So what if he is senior?
Remember the mess
he had created the last time?
He was being so overdramatic...
That Steve too was upset with him
If you want we can postpone this call
What if you get late?
Have I ever been late, yet?
Spend some time with
him this time at least?
10 min max
So same old trick... is it?
Yes...
Same photo... when I was 25
Only the boy is different...
You're impossible Gayatri
What impossible? It's win-win situation...
Aai-Baba are happy I'm seeing a boy
And that boy would come
seeing my photo of mid-20s...
And when he sees me
in 40s he'd be disappointed
He'd reject me, so I'd be happy as well
There you go...
I just don't get it. Why aren't
you serious about marriage?
Of course I'm serious. Why else
am I going all the way to meet him?
This way...
Shall I take right or left turn?
To the right...right...
Why don't you tell Aai-Baba
you don't want to marry?
Poor souls are so hopeful...
And you play games with them...
Would you withhold your ethics lessons
till I come back to office? Please?
Right now, just
concentrate on Steve's call...
I knew it...
I'd say something and you
would start being my boss
Pull up here... I'll take an auto...
- You go...
- Okay...
Here you go...! Thanks
All the best!
Thanks...
Hello, this way... No, carry on...
Hmm. And you handle him.
OK, bro... I've reached...
Yes, this is it... stop, stop
- How much?
- Eighty
Please give exact amount
Keep the change...
One moment, one moment...
Handsome... shall I?
Shit...
Wha-
No...
Shit...
Bye... I'll talk to you later-
'What's so funny in this?'
Hey, listen, listen...
Disconnect the call,
I'm sending you a video...
Check it out on WhatsApp...
'What is it? What...'
There's a character here ...
In the photo she looks
like Rekha of Umrao Jaan...
And in reality, of Koi Mil Gaya?
Till now I used to think, only I lie...
But he too has kept his younger photo...
What if he too doesn't
want to get married?
I mean that's good if he doesn't...
Why she must be single yet?
In fact, why would someone say no to her?
Her features are so beautiful...
Honestly, he looks older than me...
How old is he?
Umm...Forty?...
No... Forty-two...
Confirmed. 42.
I have heard women hide their age...
But to this extent?
I guess thirty-eight... thirty-nine?
Confirmed, forty...
It's difficult for a girl to
be hitched at this age...
Ahem... We better not talk about this...
About what?
I... I haven't said a word yet...
Whatever is going through your mind...
I can see it...
- Even now?
- Hm. Hm.
That means the actor in me is still alive-
If I hadn't been in this field...
I'd surely have been an actor-
Can we come to the point?
Let's keep the photo...
profile aside and talk, shall we?
Frankly, we both should...
What?
Nice...
It's beautiful... book...
The book is very nice...
Honestly, you should also
read Tuesday with Morrie...
What?
A book called Tuesday With Morrie...
written by Mitch Albom...
You must read that as well...
Everyone should read it...
That would be available on some website...
It's even available on Kindle...
Wow, impressive...
A Marathi professor...
is citing an English book
and that too with author's name...
Really speaking, erudition
cannot be limited by language, does it?
But anyway, please forgive me, I...
had come here in time, but I...
was standing outside,
when the pigeon did-
What?
Sorry...
Sorry, I mean... you were...
looking in the glass of that car...
as if it was a mirror...
It was my car... and I was inside...
This...
This is like...
A thief tried to disguise
hard but still was caught...
Hmm...
Um... so... um, I'm...
Athashri Vinayak Mahajan
Hmm...
I'm a professor of Marathi...
You must have read my details...
Honestly, I took to Marathi language
since my school and college...
I developed a liking for it and later...
I thought my field of work should
be related to Marathi language...
and so, now... I'm engaged in it...and-
The amount of Marathi
I'd speak in a whole month...
You have spoken it all now... sitting here
Um... anyway!
Shall we order something?
Yes... Sure...
Um... Dada...
Ha, Ha, DADA...
What's the matter?
Um... this is your first time here, right?
It's self-service here...
Aah!
Oh!
Will you order or...
Wha-?
I mean... it's I...
who should order... actually...
Of course...
I'll be just back...
Vibha's message.
- Good morning, sir! - Good Morning!
- What would you like to have?
- This...
- Mocha... Large or small?
- It's pronounced MOKA, is it?
- Yes.
- Large.
- OK.
And for her... this
- Espresso?
- Yes
Small or large?
- Large.
- OK.
Your name, sir?
Athashri Vinayak Mahajan
Mahajjan?
Not Mahajjan. Mahajan.
Oh, OK sir!
Listen... lot of noise here...
Shall we sit inside?
Ah, yes. Wherever you wish...
Go, sit... I'll bring coffee
By the way, I am carrying your bag...
Rs. 345/- sir...
Oh, yes...
Just check...
Done.
Thank you...
- Can I ask you something?
- Um? Hmm...
Why do you want to marry?
You... You don't?
No!
Why?
No. I don't want to marry...
But then why you didn't say so earlier?
You should have made
it clear in the beginning...
That's what I'm doing...
I don't want to get married...
Let's finish this coffee...
Then you go your way
And I'll go to my office
But why? Why don't you want marriage?
Arre...
Then why at all you are doing all this?
I... I have my own reasons...
Yeah, but what... tell me, no...
Look, this is personal...
Why should I tell you? You
are my husband or what?
If you let me-
Look... I... um
I'm a bit...
- I mean... I...
- Ah, yes...
Got it...
I got it...
Your...
parents... you don't want them to know
so, you...
You haven't the foggiest idea...
You just don't know anything...
- I know...
- Ugh?
You...
Don't like boys...
You like girls...
- Wha-?
- But now... it's legally accepted...
Are you mad? or what?
Shh... what?
What language?
I'm supporting you...
Shut up!
I'm straight...
Look...
Not to want to marry...
That's not the only reason...
I have my own reasons...
and I don't want to reveal them to you.
You know what?
You can talk all the shit about me...
But can we leave now?
Just wait for some time at least?
We have ordered this coffee...
wait till we finish it?
Forget for life...
at least wait for 5 minutes?
Umm... one moment...
Yeah, tell me, Aditi...
What?
No... I...
Was trying to understand...
I mean...
Even though I was late, you waited...
You were disappointed when you saw me...
and yet you talked...
but...
You want ME to say No to this alliance...
But...
Your eyes are telling me something else...
That means you do want to marry...
But why do want to say no...
God knows...
You are into face-reading, or what?
No
I read...
people...
- That... - What?
- That...
What is it?
Ah... this... in your hair...
- Oh...
- Namaskar... Mr. Mahajan...
Ugh...
Remember me?
Little fun... man...
Namaste...
Mrs. Mahajan...
Hey...?
So...?
Indulging your honey
in a public place... is it?
Mr. Mahajan...
This is inappropriate...
No, no...
W... What, Kshemakalyani...
how are you? All well?
Yes, yes... All well..
We were supposed to meet
at Powai... for conference...
You didn't show up...
Vahini, he did tell you, didn't he?
On your wedding day, we
had an important conference at Powai...
But he was a no show...
because he was with you...
at Andaman...
on honeymoon trip...
What? What?
Athooo...
It's OK...
We had fun in Andaman...
Isn't it, Athoo?
Oho, wow... way to go...
Time was put to good use...
that's important...
By the way, sis-in-law...
You both look romantic...
Athoo, your friend is sooo...
Very handsome... Six-packs and all...
Er... Kshemakalyani -
Don't mind her words.
Please don't you feel bad.
- Mahajan, times indeed have changed...
- Yes...
I mean, earlier the wife
addressed the husband respectfully
I think you have a reverse case...
Not at all... I'm speaking truth...
Athoo...
I didn't understand a word...
That's the reason we were speaking in-
No, no... Don't quarrel with her...
Newly-wed couple must not fight...
Do one thing, Mahajan...
You teach Vahini Sanskrit...
Hmmm
I'm going to have to teach her things...
She is very naughty...
Is it?
I mean,
In family life the partner
should be crazy like this...
That brings a fun flavour, doesn't it?
Just pulling your leg...
OK, listen. Kshemakalyani,
we'll talk about our work later...
Right now, we just...
- Oh yes, yes... I get it... I'll leave now...
- Yes.
But before I leave, can I
take a photo of you two?
No, I mean I've taken one already
When you were like this...
But that was without
your permission, sorry!
- Just one selfie...
- No, what for...
My photos don't come out well...
Athooooo...
He always does this...
Do you know... he didn't
allow even one photo during our wedding
- Athoo please come...
- But...
You are a limit Mahajan...
Hold it... selfie, selfie... one... one...
Hold it there... yeah? Beautiful!
Aha! ...Thank you...
What, Mahajan...
you have such a beautiful wife...
Why do you say no for a photo?
Why is it your business, Kshemakalyani?
Athooo...
Don't get so mad, your
BP will shoot, yaar...
Please stop calling me Athoo...
Let her...
It... it's an affectionate name, isn't it?
And if she doesn't call
you that, who should?
Now you please...
You will go or drink
our coffee and then go?
No, no... I'm going...
Yes
By the way, Vahini,
Our professor's charm is still intact...
Who will know it better than me?
Ohh, yes, of course...
- I'm going... I'm going
- Yes.
By the way
- You have to come to my place... together...
- Yes. Yes.
- Bring Vahini along.
- Yes, yes.
- Without fail... yes...
- 100%...
- Yes... bye...
- Pleasure...
Need to ready wedding gifts and
post pictures on group. It will be fun.
What was that?
This you will tell me...
You gave me an earful for so long...
And you are married already...
That too, including honeymoon?
No, no... I am not married... I-
I was lying to him...
And what all you were blabbering?
Athoo and six pack...
had fun in Andaman...
What was that?
I really love making such people
awkward in an already awkward situations
You know in plain language, this is...
Thank you...
Now those photos he took...
He will go and show others...
So? Big deal!
Forget it, yaar...
People who simply
don't matter in our life,
Why should we take the load
of what they think about us?
By the way...
I truly enjoyed this...
- But... Mr. Professor...
- Hmmm...
Professor of Marathi...
What's your story of life?
Forget it...
What does it matter to you, now?
Arre? Why? Just now...
Even if make-believe it was,
wasn't I your wife?
Athooo... I want to know it...
My marriage was fixed with Isha...
The date was finalized
At my house...
We had decided to
do a registered marriage-
She simply didn't show up...
Where is she?
Uh, oh...
What... what's this, Isha?
Wh... what... why you
called me here? Inside-
That registrar is waiting...
he was about to leave...
I somehow stopped him... come on in...
One minute, one minute, listen...
I want to tell you something important
Don't bring up something
important at this time, let's...
Go there first and do the signing...
I cannot marry you...
That's what I wanted to tell you...
April Fool, right? OK, I was fooled
Let's go...
NO...
I thought a lot last night...
About you, me, our future...
You... this... Look, I... now...
aged 40 years... OK?
Don't give me shocks like this...
If my BP shoots up... I might...
Come, let's go and sign...
I just got married...
Uh... how beautiful is the mehandi... you-
Have you named me Bunty lovingly?
What?
Look, it's written here...
- Bunty!
- Bunty?
Bunty...
Dark glasses, golden bell in the neck...
Dark glasses, golden bell in the neck...
He's one in a million, my dear Bunty...
Bunty who?

Even God willed this...
Oh no, God! You have erred...
What did you see in him? Tell me...
In this goon... What did you see?

He spits on the road every week
through the tobacco he buys every week...
That's bad... That Bunty darling...
What... what... what... what
am I forced to see...
This... I can't believe this is true...
and if you had an affair,
why didn't you tell me earlier?
You should have mentioned it...
- How could I? How could I?
- And even your family...
I had shown them YOUR photo...
And yes... they would
come here any moment...
- HERE?
- For OUR wedding...
Oh No!
- What's this?
- Hey Bubbly, come, let's go...
How much do you talk?

There are... and they somehow find me...
OK. But tell me...
Bunty?
And not just Bunty... With respect...
Dark glasses... golden bell in the neck...
He's one in a million, my dear Bunty...
- Shall we leave?
- Yes.
After you...
And about that honeymoon, the tickets
were there, so I went alone...
- Seriously?
- Yes.
Vibha, my sister...
and my mother termed me fool
Then I had to go...
And precisely that time
there was Sanskrit Conference
I was absent there... so everyone mistook
it was my own marriage...
and then honeymoon...etc.
How could I explain to everyone?
This Kshemakalyani and others
got more confused because of that
Sorry for that...
Okay...
So, time to go...
Hmm...
Athashri...
- It's really nice to meet you...
- Thank you, same here!
Um... Can I ask you something?
Yes?
Your... decision not to marry is firm?
Unfortunately...
But I'm not the kind
of villain you think I am...
- No...
- We can be good friends to each other..
You know, what I think?
You are going to get a great girl soon...
- 'Coz you're really a good person...
- Thank you!
Your p... thief, thief...
And you are just looking on? Run

- Then why are you taking it?
- I...
- Thank God!
- Policeman: Come

- Sir, listen to me...
- Hey, where are you taking him?
Stop...
- You are not listening to me.

Why will I use ladies bag?
Listen to me first.
Mahajan, Mahajan... Mere Mahajan...
Athashri Mahajjan... Mahajjan, Mahajjan
Professor of Marathi... Ha, Ha...

Sir... um... Not Mahajjan... Mahajan...
Mind the J...

Ma - ra - thi...
Hey... teacher... Don't teach PSI Dange...
My boss too couldn't do it...
what you are teaching...
Remember. And let any
big man come before me
Howsoever big... I keep him under my Dang
- Where?
- Under the Dang... Dang
Always remember that...
- Excuse me... - And who are you?
- Can we know why we are here?
Who called you? You came by yourself...
Haven't you brought him here?
And with him, this, my purse...
This purse is yours?
That's what I said just now, didn't I?
Are you sure, this is your purse?
Do you want to hear it in some different
language?
Oh! Attitude?
Look here, Shelke... teacher...
You two are witnesses, yeah?
This purse is yours?
- Hello, you are sure, this is your bag?
- Arre?
Do you want me to reveal what's in it?
Or what?
What a woman...
She knows exactly, what I want...
Come on, start...
What is in the purse...hmmm?
i-Pad, diary, money...
To be precise,
there's 3,700 rupees in it...
There's lip balm... my office ID Card,
credit card, debit card...
BP medicines...
BP? At this age?
You have BP issue?
But you... - Prescription of
my father's medicines...
There are wet tissues...
Freshener and... my sanitary pads...
- And...?
- Athashri: What are you doing, sir?
She described the whole lot and...
you are again...
- We are leaving...
- Hey, teacher...
Teacher...
Fish's stomach and a woman's purse...
you never know what you'd find in them...
Tell me, what's more in it...
Cigarette and lighter...
Cigarette?
Can't believe
- Sir, one moment... One moment...
- Hey, sit down!
- Sir, just one moment... one... one moment
- Hey...
You... you SMOKE?
And... you hid it?
What more are you hiding?
In the information you
hadn't written you smoke
Are you mad? It's not mine...
It means you rent out your purse
I was kidding.
Do you really smoke?
You... Just shut up...
Why are you shouting at me? You
are the one lying, and you shout at me?
Arre, it's not mine... I'm carrying
it so that Baba doesn't smoke...
- But, you...
- Hey, Tom and Jerry...
Shut up means shut up... Go, sit there...
Sit down.
Sir... sir...
What more is there in it?
- What more? I've told you everything...
- Oh, yeah?
Now, I'll show you what's in it...
Aha!
What?
Hmmm... cocaine...
Coc... cocaine?
Heroine's purse contains cocaine...
Hey, heroine...
Whose cocaine is it?
Your purse had THIS? I never
thought you are into all this...
- Gayatri: No...
- Athashri: Had I known this earlier...
I'd have never come to
meet you for marriage...
No, listen, that packet isn't mine...
Look at her... sir... sometime ago...
She was yelling that this is her purse...
She even described all the contents...
And see, she is denying
the purse is hers...
Whose cocaine is it?
Sir, don't you show her so much respect,
she is a criminal. - YOU-
Now I understand...
When you caught him, this
purse was in his hands, right?
Now I tell you, this
purse is not mine at all...
He has done something,
he is a peddler...
Shit... Shelke... teacher... peddler?
No, no, no, no... sir...
I'm telling the truth...
I... Even my medicines are Ayurvedic...
I... How would I do this? - Is it?
Sir, I'll tell you... I met this
man just a couple of hours ago...
It was my mistake, I trusted him...
I'm telling you...
He is the one who has
put cocaine in my purse...
Ugh... What are you saying?
Heaping all false allegations on me...
Sir, I had...
Third policeman: Caught this thief...
Snatching women's purses...
He is the thief I was chasing...
- Shit, Shelke...
- Shelke: Identical purses messed up
Full Two filmy yaar, Seeta and Geeta...
May I? - Yes... Why not? Take it...
Gaikwad, take him away...
Sir... i-Pad...
yes, yes... diary... yes...
Shall I take out everything?
No... no... This much is fine...
Now, do you believe me?
Speak up, professor...
Shelke, take the vehicle and
drop them where they were...
- Yes sir. - Sir, no need... we will...
- Hey, we must drop you...
We nab criminals... likewise
we have to drop them as well...
Please forgive...
Police friend, chapter end...
And... just reduce the addiction...
Say this to your Papa...
Else, they will show your film in
the theatres before the main film...
Bye, sir...
Earlier I was no one
but now look how special I am.
Like this.
Policeman: Bye... Yes...
Do invite for the wedding... - Yes...
Let's go.
How can you do this being on duty?
You called me drug peddler?
Drug peddler?
That thief ran away with your purse...
I ran after him...
I fell down, my knee was injured...
Yet I ran...
And you called me a drug
peddler in the police station? Me?
Sorry... Forget whatever happened...
For..forget? How can I?
I never went to a police station in my life
Now thanks to you, I have done that too
Firstly, I have said sorry, didn't I?
Look, I too was scared... confused...
And I don't go to police station
everyday as if it's fun...
The allegations you made against me...
Made me say all that...
Sorry...
I said sorry... Hello...
'Where are you?
You said 10 mins...'
Wait a moment, I...
I'll call you... wait...
I too was scared...
That Landge was like this...
and interrogating me...
Dange...
Yeah, whatever... Dange...
All right... I accept... We were caught
up in this whole mess because of me...
So... um... Just to say sorry...
I want to give you a treat...
There was nothing in
it to deserve a treat, was it?
- But it's chow time, so let's eat something
- No, let it be... Please? No
- No, let it be...
- Please?
No
- Pleeeease...
- What are you doing?
- I'm so hungry...
- You are impossible...
One moment... Hello... yes...
'Gayatri, where are you?
You were supposed to come in 10 mins...'
'Do you plan to get married and
finish honeymoon as well or what'
You couldn't wait for even
5 minutes and called me... What?
- 'What Paddy has screwed up royally...'
- What?
'Steve is
real pissed off on you...'
What do you mean?
But I had told you to lead, didn't I?
'Yes,
I was but Paddy won't listen'
What do you mean,
he didn't listen to you?
'No, he didn't.
Will he ever listen to me?'
This... door...
- How-
- 'And all this is because of you.'
'You always put everything
on my head and go...'
How's that possible?
'How can
you be so irresponsible?'
- 'Steve is mad at you...'
- Yes... OK... No, no, I'm reaching...
I'll come now... you...
you don't panic, OK?
- What if we lose the project?
- We will work out something...
'I'm really scared. Nobody
listens to me and Paddy especially...'
Yes? OK. Listen, listen...
No... OK... I'll... I'll
join Zoom from here
- I'll speak to him...
- 'Join the Zoom meeting right now'
- 'Steve is ranting'
- Will you please wait?
Oh, yes...
You... you just calm down yaar...
I said I'll call you, wait...
My... Where's my key?
What happened?
My car keys...
Did you check in your purse?
Yes, yes, I did... You know what I think,
In this whole mess it's lost somewhere...
- Oh my God!
- Sorry, I've to attend a Zoom meeting...
Uh... Gosh!
Hey, hey, calm down, calm down...
Do one thing... Go and sit inside...
Do your office work, I'll go and get the
key maker...
- Hey, hello, these keys can't be duplicated-
- Why?
It's with a remote...
Why do they make technology
so complicated?
- How do I know that?
- Oh, Oh, OK... OK
Now what?
- We have one option...
- What?
There's always a spare key...
which is at my house... - At the house? OK
Yes. OK.
What?
No... No! No! No!
No... Had we married today,
wouldn't you have
- gone for the sake of your wife?
- No... No... Please...
- Pleeeease, pleeeease...
- Wha... what are you doing?
OK, OK... I'll go...
Send me the location...
Sent...
All right... Who's at home?
- Baba would be there, I'll inform him...
- Hmmm...
- Rickshaw!
- Baba...
Baba, listen.
Please take out the spare key of my car
I'm sending someone to collect it...
Stop, stop...
You wait here, please... I'm coming
Namaskar... This is...
Gayatri Desai's house, right?
- Hmmm... hmmm?
- I... I... have come to take the keys...
No, no... keys... car...
No, no... listen..
- This is Desai residence, no?
- Hmmm...
- But I... no...
- Hmm...
Sorry, I don't understand this... language
sorry...
Hello, I... what? Keys... keys...
I have come to collect keys... K E Y S...
One moment... You go, I'll talk to him...
You observe silence. Go...
Yes. Who do you want? - Namaskar... I...
I've come to collect Gayatri's car keys...
Oho... I see... Gayatri had called...
Come... come...
- Um... shoes?
- It's OK, come in...
Watch your step, please...
- Sit...
- Yes...
You came to collect the spare key, right?
Yes. Here... ready...
- Take it......
- Shall I take your leave? - Wait... wait...
Have water at least?
Will you bring a glass of water?
Have it... have water... and have the
sweet She has made it herself... - Nice!
Tell me something...
How did the key get lost?
- No, I mean... our daughter is very careless
- Yes. -
Um... No, she had tied it to her purse,
so perhaps, in the rush...
Ah ha... so that's how it happened...
Tell me... Who are you? Do you
work under Gayu in her office? No, no...
I... um... I...
Athashri Vinayak Mahajan...
WHAT? ... Wh... what happened?
- That means the prospective groom...
- Yes...
Sorry, sorry...
we were mistaken... Hello...
HE is the one who Gayu had
gone to meet for marriage...
- Sit, sit... at least have a sweet...
- No, but... I...
Take it... take it...
God is great! That means it's fixed...
Today, finally my
Amarendra Baba heeded me...
Here, the holy ashes...
Dear son-in-law,
I'm so happy to meet you..
Oh, why am I sitting here talking...
I'll make tea for you...
- She can speak?
- Of course...
I truly don't want anything...
You've misunderstood... I...
- Masala milk? Yes, Masala milk
- No... You must have Masala milk...
- You've given us such a great news...
- Yes, yes...
You see, once she gets married,
we are free
You are mistaken, it's nothing like that
at least hear me out...
What is more to hear now?
A man comes home to collect spare car key
and that too after the first meeting...
What's more romantic beginning than this?
Tell me...
If you know the fact, you'd faint...
Did you just say something?
I said, I'd leave now,
rickshaw is waiting...
his meter is running... Sit, sit...
Tell me who all in your family?
- And whoever it is, we have no problem...
- And the house is your own-?
Even if it's rented,
we have no problem...
- What's your salary?
- Whatever it may be, we have no problem
Son-in-law, have you
decided about the gifts?
We will bear all the expenses
of the wedding. No tension...
All this is Gayu's after all!
Just tell me...
Do you have any... addiction...?
Before you speak to me...
Can you please talk to your daughter?
I'd leave now, rickshaw is waiting...
- I am leaving...
- Son-in-law... - One moment...
Son-in-law... Wouldn't you even bow to
your would-be in-laws?
Well... - Ha, ha... you are lucky
She is only speaking of bowing before us
I was expecting her to do much more...
- OK
- Listen... happy married life...
Take a selfie with him...
Oh, great! Can you take a selfie?
- Um... yes...
- OK. Quick...
Here... take it... Smile, wife...
Look, they made me take a selfie...
What does that mean?
All the women in your family are...?
Dangerous like that?
My mom, really did this to you? OMG...
You touched their feet as son-in-law?
Goodness Me!
And Masala milk is her pet thing...
You know, in her first
appearance, I thought...
She was like making hand-gestures...
I thought if she is probably mute...
I mean... she... can't talk...
Wha......
That's an altogether story...
You know, my mom...
...was told by Amarendra Baba...
that, the day the girl goes to meet a
boy, if she adopts Mauna...
Her marriage would get fixed immediately
Wow!
Your folks are quite positive people...
My family has perhaps
given up on my marriage...
But, why you are so desperate to marry?
- That too, at this age...
- What do you mean, this age?
Age is just a number...
- What do you mean desperate?
- Hmmm...
When I was still studying,
my parents passed away
I had a younger sister... Her education,
marriage... all was my responsibility...
and in fulfilling them, I was past the
right age to marry, I didn't even know when
And someone may have some dream...
Shouldn't he pursue it?
And I'm quite well settled in my career
I have a decently
paying and respected job-
I mean, speaking of my personal life...
Shouldn't I live it? eh?
You have a point...
But, let's play a game...
The game of kande-pohe...
Game?
- So, Mr. Athashri...
- Yes...
Tell me...
What do you expect in a partner?
Don't laugh... Your face is writ with
the fact, you want to answer this question
What... what a woman you are...
Arre, I'm normal... but you talk...
No excuses...
Look, I'm no Shah Rukh Khan... So I don't
expect a Deepika walking into my life...
- Hmmm...
- So looks... are out...
OK. Money was never a criterion for me...
For me, there's only one criterion...
and that is... meeting of minds...
Thank you...
Thank you!
You revealed a tough criterion
in so simple words...
But, is meeting of
the minds really so easy?
I mean... what about other things?
Like?
Nature... Likes and dislikes...
Lifestyle... Compatibility?
Meeting of the minds is most important...
- How can you say that?
- Um...
Tell me... Why did you order Uttappa?
Um... Firstly, I like the Sambar here...
And the cheese they use in Uttapam...
It's out of the world... and this chutney-
it-
What did I ask?
Why... did you... order... Uttappa?
You love the Sambar... You love chutney...
Why didn't you order just Sambar
and chutney?
Because, the dish they accompany...
If that's not there, they are meaningless.
Your Uttappa... is mind...
that ought to be good
If that's good, then nature, lifestyle...
and all that, have a meaning...
else, it's useless...
So... meeting of minds is important...
OK. So, with this I end my speech here...
And direct the questions to you...
Tell me, why didn't you get married?
I mean why you don't want it?
There must be some reason, right?
There's no reason not to speak out now...
One sec... Hello?
Hello... hello...?
One sec...
Hello...?
Hello?
Hello?
Can you hear me? Speak...
I... I have to go...
We will speak later...
- Athashri-
- Please, Please...
Rickshaw... hey... stop!
Rickshaw... listen... this way...
No! Listen... this way... hey, rickshaw...
What the heck?
- Athashri... What happened? All OK?
- Yes... I...
I have car... can I drop you?
Will you? I have to go, it's important...
No rickshaw is available, will you drop me?
Yes, yes... - Please, please, please
Let's go, let's go...
Athashri, please... calm down...
Please drive faster...
Yes, but... at least tell me what's wrong?
Dr. Shastri... Have you left? Yes...
I am coming... reaching...
- Yes... Why don't you drive faster?
- Yes, yes... - Faster, faster...
- FASTER!
- OK, OK, OK...
Look,
Don't wait for me to start the treatment
You get started... and please tell her
Not to fear, I'm reaching...
Dr. Shastri, please, please...
Yes, I'm reaching...
Straight, straight...
You are too slow... step up... Yes, yes...
Please, please, please...
Take the next right turn...
- From here?
- Yes, right from here...
Go on, go on...
This way... yes, yes... here?
Take it in...
That's it, that's it...
That's it! Stop...

Hmmm...
I... yelled at you... please forgive me...
No, silly... you were tense...
What's all this?
Tell me only if you are comfortable...
When I was doing my Ph.D.
I had come here for some work...
To meet the chief of this Ashram...
Salgaonkar Uncle...
My work got over and I... was leaving
When the Mavshi...
Came in with an infant left at the gate...
That infant must be
about just 1 year-old..
It was howling...
Crying its heart out...
Kaka immediately called the police...
and asked me if I could watch out
for the baby...
To calm the crying baby,
I was trying things...
I whistled, waved my hands...
I took her in my hands...
lifted her high... and...
...she calmed down...
Then suddenly, the baby touched my hand
and that touch...
Awakened something deep inside me...
The police came, doctors came...
All the medico-legal formalities were done
But, I developed some kind of relationship
with that baby girl from that moment...
Truth is, I'd become her father
in that moment...
That baby, someone had left
at the gate crying...
calmed down in my hands...
You know the light
flower that flies around
and sticks to our body...
Something like that happened to me...
She refused to part with me...
and so did I...
Salgaonkar Kaka said...
Mahajan, the girl is happy in your arms...
Very nice...
And then this continued...
I started coming here regularly for a week
To talk to her, to play with her...
and then...
I opened up with Kaka... He was happy...
He said, Mahajan, give the girl a name...
And suddenly the name Mukta
came out of my mouth...
Mukta
And... I became Mukta's...
foster parent...
She has this infantile asthma...
So if she plays and frolics a lot...
She has a problem... and if I'm not with
her at that time...
I feel very guilty...
I have taken her to be my daughter,
after all...
I can't bear her suffering like that...
You shouldn't feel guilty.
You're doing a lot for her...
and these children perceive this...
Everything you do reaches them...
Haven't you come here
the moment you heard it?
and have brought the situation
under control...
You are indeed her father...
Alas! Not legally...
I want to adopt her... but...
Our law doesn't allow me...
A single man cannot
adopt a girl by law...
and so... I want to marry...
So that I can adopt her as my daughter...
Sometimes I fear...
what if I'm not able to marry anyone?
If no girl says YES to me?
And at that time if a couple comes...
They like her and take her away...
What would I do?
- That won't happen...
- But how?
I can't live without her...
and nor can she
That won't happen...
Don't worry, that won't happen...
Arre... you... why did you get up?
You were not well, no?
If you go without meeting me?
Ah... How could I go without meeting you?
Who's sitting here? Me, right?
- Sometime ago I was having a lot of trouble
- Yes-Yes
Suddenly it was dark all around
and I fell down... - Ohhh...
Doctor Uncle came to see you, didn't he?
He checked you...
He gave you a nice, sweet medicine...
And you know, I prayed to God...
To take away all the
trouble our Mukta has...
You know what magic God did?
What?
He said, Abracadabra... chhooo...
And Mukta's pain went away...
Do you know
what I learned to do yesterday?
What? Oh? Wow!
What a big aeroplane!
And... and sitting in this aeroplane...
How tiny would Mukta look?
Just this much... and she would fly
like this... - Tiny Mukta...
Do you know Gayatri...
Our Mukta, is a very brave girl...
She is scared of nothing...
Hey... we want to hear
Sun God's story, no? Yes?
Give it to me... come on...
Come on, let's listen to the story...
- Shall we sit here? Aah..
- OK
Arre, where has Sun God gone?
- Um... He's there... See there...
- Where?
He is hiding behind those clouds...
So far away?
But remember, Mukta...
Howsoever far is he...
He is watching you and all of us...
Whenever you look up...
He is looking at you!
And when Sun God comes in the morning
From that side... He is only this big...
Baby Sun God... Even smaller than Mukta
Then, just like Mukta gets ready and goes
to school... He too gets ready...
Takes his sack, water bottle...
Goggles, cap, shoes...
and the baby God reaches the top of our
head giving sunlight to all...
By then he is big like me...
And then again, travels back home...
to his mother...
at that time, he is old...
And then... he grows old and goes home
He is very tired...
His mother asks him, come, dear...
Why didn't you bring your child?
Then Sun God replies,
I was too tired to lift her up...
He says, I have headache, my hands have
pain, my back aches...
I'll take off tomorrow, I won't go...
and starts crying...
His mother said, you can't cry...
and you can't stay home...
Everyone is waiting for you... If
you don't go, who will give them energy?
If you don't go, who will give them light?
You have to go...
Then she pulls him close to her...
Pats him... Massages his body with oil...
Sings a lullaby... and then the old Sun
after going home to his mother...
Slowly... becomes a baby
once again... and falls asleep
But when he sleeps in the night, does he
forget us?
Sun is like Baba... and does
Baba ever forget his children?
No
When Sun God is
sleeping in his mother's lap...
He knows there's no one to give us
energy and look after Mukta...
He calls a friend of his...
Do you know who this friend is? That...
That one...
He says... Mukta, don't worry...
I'm there...
You will never be lonely...
We will see to that...
Say thank you to him...
Thank you Moon...
Thank you Sun God...
Come on, Mukta...
Time for meal...
Let's go... - We have to take medicine...
Come, come...
Here... Your aeroplane...
Go...
- Come on...
- Very good! Ta Ta...
See you tomorrow...
Ta ta...
OK...
So? You had fun?
Aha! Nice photos of you two...
And what a sweet girl, Mukta is...
She just wins you over instantly...
Truly. Nice snaps.
Send me... all... please...
Hmmm...
These aren't just photos...
They are memories...
When we feel someone close is going
far away, we hold them tightly... Hm.
That time that relation
becomes even thicker, isn't it?
The relationship between you and Mukta
is at that point now...
When you are alone... in ME time...
when you close your eyes...
That time you will remember all these
memories...
And then a beautiful smile
will grow on your face...
I'll remember those memories... and...
I'll remember you too...
I mean... All this has
happened because of you...
And I don't want to demean the emotion
behind it by using that word, but anyway...
Thank you!
Let's go...
- Yes, Aai...
- 'Gayu, where ARE you?'
and why your phone
is unreachable?
'Anyway, let it be... listen...'
Yeah, tell me...
'Why didn't you tell us,
son-in-law has said YES to you?'
- Who has said yes?
- What do you mean?
He, who had come today... Mahajan...?
'He who had
come to collect keys...'
'And second important thing is...'
Just a minute, just a minute...
Aai. Swapnil who?
'What are you saying?'
'Hadn't you met him
a couple months ago?'
One sec, wait... hold on...
Just a minute, please...
That Swapnil woke up TODAY, is it?
I tell you, no other girl
must have said yes to him...
That's why he is contacting us again...
'Listen, Gayu-'
He had said he didn't want in-laws at all,
hadn't he?
And today he agreed to
take you also to the US?
Yes, that's what...
I'd be happy to go to US
Aai, listen... When I come back, we will
sit across and talk in detail, OK?
Not on phone now... all right?
This girl, I tell you...
Do you have time, now?
Now?
Yes, NOW!
Do you have time to
come with me to a place?
Yes... I'll come...
I didn't know you...
have are such a believer in God
Don't laugh, I mean it...
I don't know that... but...
I like to come to this temple often...
I don't know why, but today
I felt like coming with you, ...
I have some connection
with Lord Vitthal here...
What, why... I don't know...
but there is...
You know, I used to live here...
slept here...
This was my home, once...
I don't get it...
I don't remember exactly... but...
..when I was young, my father...
Left me outside this temple...
At the main entrance where there are flower
shops... an old woman used to sit there...
She saw me and... kept me with her...
I started living with her...
She truly taught me to live life...
I... often said to her... I want to
work with you, teach me some work...
I don't know how old I was...
but she used to say,
you are just 8-10 years old...
what work do I give you?
But I insisted and had
learned how to pack flowers... you know...
Tear pages from books, put
some flowers and wrap them...
Once, on a book page...
I found a story called Lost Moonshine...
Seeing the title, somehow
I sat to read the story...
It was a story about a lost
childhood in a sky named City...
I began to see it as my own story...
Grandma noticed that I'm reading something
When she asked, I read
the story to her as well...
And I said to her I loved the story...
Then grandma said...
Check if there's the name of the
author and his address at the bottom...
If yes, write him a
letter and let him know...
Excited, I started writing the letter...
and I wrote in it that
I liked your story a lot...
You have written it very well...
And if there are more such books...
Please send me... I want to read them...
When I read out the
letter to grandma, she said-
Silly girl... where would he send
you the books? To which address?
Better that you go yourself to that
address and hand him the letter yourself...
I was thrilled as I set out to do that...
I reached his house...
But I was a bit scared as well...
I saw the letter-box on the gate...
I thought I'd drop the letter in it...
and leave quickly...
Just as I was about to drop
the letter in the box, he saw me...
Hey...
What do you want?
What?
Wait, I'm coming...
Saying this he came to me...
Yes, girl...?
What do you want?
Sir, you write story very well...
Is it?
But what do YOU want?
You had written that story Lost
Moonshine... I think it's about me...
Will you give me your stories to read?
Yes... Why not? Sure...
And... unknowingly, we became friends...
After that he started coming here...
He sent me books at the temple...
Sometime he would come and
read out the stories to me himself...
Sometimes, he would bring me nice clothes
Gradually, he started
taking me to his house...
He gave me something to eat...
He gave me a lot of love...
And then one day... he adopted me...
Gayatri... they named me...
And I got parents again...
They, who brought me into the world,
I don't even remember...
Of course, their existence
doesn't matter to me...
But I don't even hate them...
No?
Forgive and forget...
Instead of crying over what's gone, one
should be happy with what is... isn't it?
Do you know what I say to
my Aai-Baba lovingly?
Vithobaba and Rukhu Aai...
People like these...
Coming in our life really
requires a great luck...
You are truly blessed... really...
True!
They really dote me...
And I too adore them...
and literally...
They put aside own happiness and
have done everything for my happiness...
I...
Cannot even imagine being
selfish in matters concerning them...
But why do you even think you would be?
I said NO to you, the moment we met...
It's for some reason...
I too wish I should marry...
Just as my Baba has
taken care of my Aai...
Someone should take care of me as well...
But I don't know... I mean...
for this selfish feeling...
I am not convinced I should leave Aai-Baba
But I... don't understand
why you think someone said
No to you, just to avoid
taking care of your parents?
I have so many friends, who
take care of their in-laws very well...
Provide them everything...
But I don't want a boy, who would be a
provider of everything to my parents...
I want someone who'd love them...
Can't I provide everything to my parents?
If I'm not near them, I can provide
them whatever they would need...
Why do I need a boy to do that?
That's the reason...
I don't at all want a boy, who would
regard my Aai-Baba a mere responsibility...
This is my condition...
Excellent!
Bravo!
Can I tell you something?
Just a request...
Loosen all other conditions
from your expectations...
But this condition, about taking care
and responsibility of your parents...
Don't loosen it, even it means death...
Be firm on it...
OK. Why do you jump with
a sword in hand directly? Huh?
What is, is!
I liked your thoughts...
and I have liked them
so much that right now,
I want to treat you
to a great cup of tea...
Let us...
Let us...
To, your thoughts... which I have really
liked and am totally convinced about...
this fantastic tea...
- Thank you...
- Cheers...
Mmmm...
Wow, Dada...
- Shall I tell you something?
- Hmm
I have a lifelong regret...
I couldn't do anything for
flower-seller grandma...
I mean... I've never been selfish...
But I was very young...
and at that young age,
what life dished out to me...
After that, getting a well-to-do family...
Was a joy with which
I indulged myself there...
But as I grew up... I often saw her face
in my mind... even today it happens...
I have this nagging feeling that...
How could I forget her,
why did I do nothing for her?
And now I don't want that to
happen in the case of Aai-Baba, ever...
Don't you think you are paying the
EMI of your parents' love for you?
They have accepted you
from heart... loved you...
Why are you carrying it as
a burden, as if it's a loan...?
Being an outsider, how can you say this?
What do you know about
our family, our relations...
You yourself said your
parents are your pride...
- Hmm...
- Not the need...
If you don't make this clear...
How can you expect a new person
to start loving them right away...?
- It's nice... Tea...
- Mmmm...
All right...
I'll leave now... It's quite late...
Oh yes... I forgot...
Tomorrow's Angaraki...
I saw Ganesha idol with tusk on right...
Your Aai must be worshipping Him...
She would need this tomorrow...
Thank you!
- May I?...
- Yes...
How much is the bill? Twenty...
The tea was nice... here...
Here...
OK, may I go?
I'll visit again... sometime, for tea...
Thank you!
Do you snore at night?
What?
When you sleep in the night...
do you snore?
No, I sleep peacefully...
Woosh... then there would
be no problem... - What?
What, man? You are so...
Bring it quickly.
Set the cap properly.
- Where is the stole?
- Give him. - Here.
Welcome, welcome...

Dear Mom and Dad, please bless your son.
I've met 34 girls before this one but your
blessings perhaps weren't enough...
And someone meeting 34 girls is no joke...
You fully blessed the 35th, and
today, your son is getting married to her
Please bless me...
Ah! Aha! Mukta
Bishop moves in cross.
- And I use it to kill.
- I swear.
You are unbelievable.
Engaged?
How can she talk to anyone on phone now?
Isha Mahajan, where-
'Not Mahajan, Ghatpande...'
'If you want to meet, come
to the next sqauare right now!'
NOW?
- 'Yes! Right now!'
- But....
'Come fast, yeah?
I don't have time...'
- I mean...
- 'Else I'll go...'
'You have 3 minutes! Come fast!'
- You mean NOW?
- 'YES! NOW!'
- Coming...
- 'Right!'
I'll go... Hmm...
"IT'S NO! IT'S NO!"
Now the 36th...
If we want to riot
We can do it right now...
My daughter's marriage
isn't getting fixed, Babaji
We have tried so much...
But all we hear is a NO!
How many vows can I keep, after all?
Whatever you told...
I did everything
I... I kept the holy ash under her pillow
- I daubed it on the throat...
- Uh oh...
When did this happen?
I mean daubed the ash on HER throat
Ah!
Whenever she goes to
meet the prospective groom...
Every time I observe silence...
But no use, whatsoever
Today is the last Monday
of what you said, Babaji...
Today something must happen...
Jai ho!
Listen...
Have you joined Hindi speaking course?
Will you please shut up?
Babaji...
Come what may, I want to hear YES today
You think it's easy to
keep quiet the whole day?
Of course not!
Then...! It's so very
tough... My God!
Let's keep that aside for now...
But tell me...
In fixing HER marriage
why did you stop MY Old Monk?
That I did... So that this old monk
lives the rest of his life happily
- Got it?
- Hmmm...
Oh God! It's past 9 am? This girl has no
sense of time, I tell you...
Gayu... Hey, Gayu...
Do what she wants... Baba...
Gayu...
Gayu...
Gayu, wake up, girl...
How long do you loll in the bed...
You have to go see that boy...
come on get up
Mom, you can't see your
daughter happy, do you?
Yeah, I know that...
Let me sleep, yaar...
Look here, drape a nice sari from these...
and a nice, little
bindi matching it... OK?
Now wake up... you...
Wake up... fast... come on...
What is this?
To hell with your saris...
They suffocate me... you know..
Oh, is it?
And these skimpy clothes don't?
Even my handkerchief is bigger than them
And yes...
Don't forget to daub
Amarendrababa's holy ash...
Last night I had kept it under your pillow
What the-?
I don't want to get married...
Gayu, don't you do that, yeah?
I don't want to get married and all...
This is getting too much...
Girls your age have two children now...
and you are still at seeing the boys ...
Look at that Vanita...
The other day she brought sweets...
Her son has passed tenth grade...
Nothing doing, Gayu...
Today, you must fix it...
Vanita had eloped when
she was in 12th grade
Looking at that...
She should have in fact come with
her son's wedding card...
Hey... listen, Gayu...
Today' boy is very nice...
Yeah? ...I mean...
He looks a bit younger in the photo...
But I really liked him...
- Hmm?
- Yes!
- Then marry him...
- Don't fool with me, Gayu, OK?
And... preferably choose the green sari
Do you hear me?
Oh, gosh! Aai, I'm not
going to wear sari yaar...
Aai... Please give me my bathrobe...
Everything you want served
to you... don't you?
You are one lazy girl...
- Here...
- Thank you...
And basically, sari is not worn...
It's draped... OK
And don't forget the bindi...
Don't go with plain forehead...
Aai...
- Now what?
- Shall I do one thing...
Shall I go like this... in a hot pant? Um?
And a crop-top above it
You know, he will be flat
the moment he sees me
We are preparing for marriage...
Not for honeymoon...
Shameless girl!
- Vibha...
- Yeah?
- See who's there?
- Yes....
Who was it? Vibha?
Ummm....
Hey, this breakfast...
Have you gone crazy, or what?
I told you not to eat bread...
and you eat sandwich?
You're pregnant! Look at your
tummy, in case you have forgotten
You can't eat no junk food...
Dadu, it's wheat-bread... Chill!
Look... If you order
and eat such products...
I will dispatch you to
your in-laws' house...
- I'm warning you! You just don't listen...
- All right!
You too be like my in-laws...
There, that woman, my
mom-in-law does the same...
Eat this, eat that, don't
eat this don't eat that...
I'm sick of all that...
You must eat all that...
the baby will be a genius
She's MY baby... she WOULD be a genius
I'm worried precisely
because she is your baby
You must eat all this...
That would make the baby healthy.
What? You want my baby
to be a wrestler, or what?
OK, don't you teach me things
And all this apple, mixed grain flour...
almonds, cashew nuts, dates...
all this must be eaten...
Until you finish all this
I'll stand here
Hey, Dada please... don't
you stand here, I'm eating
Come on... start... I'm eating...
you go and do your things. I'll eat it
Hey... where are you going?
I'll go in and eat at the table
Hmm...
Parcel arriving today?
What did I order?
Why are you laughing?
Sari for dear sister from Sundaram Silk
Every time I go to meet a
girl, you're going to purchase a new sari?
Of course! I'd need
for the wedding, won't I?
And I know... this is my only chance
Once you get married,
you will forget me...
Let me make hay while
the sun shines, please?
Oh, I see!
Just wait till my marriage is fixed
I'll not buy you even
a towel, you will see...
OK. Don't buy...
I'll ask Gayatri to indulge me...
Haha!
I'll tell Gayatri, don't-
How do you know I'm meeting Gayatri today?
Gayatri Desai
Dada, it's a beautiful name...
- Please don't change it after marriage...
- Shut up
Gayatri Shrikant Desai
Age 25
Product Manager...?
I see, Product Manager...
Dada... wait, wait wait
Don't you talk to her
in your boring language, ok?
And listen, listen...
Tell me something... Are you
meeting her at Hippie@Heart?
Do you even know what they serve there?
Don't teach me things, ok?
And how many times have I
told you not to touch my things?
Didn't your mother-in-law teach you?
Not to poke your nose in others' affairs?
On the contrary, I'm being
taught how to do exactly that...
Wow!
What kind of upbringing
the baby is going to have...
By the way Dadu, listen...
You are going to wear THIS shirt?
What a stupid shirt?
What lousy combination?
Not looking good...
Hey! This is my lucky shirt... got it?
Oh no, Dada...
- Yes?
- Be warned... She's going to judge you
Listen to me... Please change the shirt
Why don't you wear
some vibrant colour shirt?
Let me decide what I
should wear... and you...
Don't call and tell Suman Atya anything
until something works out...
- Got it?
- I've already told her...
You already told her?
Why did you have to tell her?
I have told you umpteen times...
Never tell things before they are final
Sometimes even the
close ones' eyes can prove evil
Hey, the close ones
never have evil eyes, OK?
On the contrary, their
concerns are well-meaning
Hah!
What hah? It's true...
You tell me and I listen...
You are convinced, that's enough
- Inside...
- I'm doing it, I'm doing it...
I'll eat the mixed flour...
almonds... walnuts...
That's my sister!
OK. Shall I?
Yes
Bye! Bye!
And listen... I'll message you
what to order, order only that...
Bye...
- Bye!
- All the best!
Good Morning!
Good Morning!
Girl got educated, progressed and
she has become adamant. Tell them.
Don't ever listen to me OK?
Go away... I won't indulge you
- Did I ask too much in draping a green sari?
- You are looking great!
- But why listen to mom?
- Thank you!
Well, your praising isn't
going to help avoid this, Baba
Ah, yes!
Extend your hand... sorry
It's sweet...
Too much, in fact...
You sugar has shot up, Baba...
If you sneak up to fridge today...
- You've had it...
- Go on, eat...
Steal and eat all the ice cream
Hey, I won't even go
near the fridge today...
- Haha!
- I swear!
Don't look at me like that...
Gentleman's promise!
- Hmmm... Shall I check gentleman's BP now?
- Yeah, go ahead!
Baba, it's on borderline...
You behave like this
and I have to listen to the doctor uncle
Who? That Bembtya?
I don't know who made
that Barve a doctor...
You know... I too have decided now...
What? Henceforth I too shall
take medicines from compounder
But Baba, jokes apart...
Please take this seriously now...
My dear, today there's no
question of my BP shooting up
Why?
You are going to meet
a boy today, aren't you?
That means, the moment you step
out, your Mom's vow of silence begins
Amarendra Baba...
So, the chances of my
BP shooting up are zero
All right!
I'm getting late,
I'll leave now...
I got to go
Baba, what's this?
That's not mine... I have
stopped a long time ago
- Oh, is it?
- Yes!
All right
I guess I'll throw this now...
Ugh... why...
Listen... that...
What... did you say the
name of that professor is?
Oh my god! That's tough...
Umm...
Some Kesari...what's that?
Athashri Mahajan...
Ah! Athashri
But you will... - Yes... I know
He is the one I'm meeting now
But I'm going to be quick and go to office,
I've a very important meeting, Baba
Gayu, Gayu, Gayu... Gayu
Just, just one minute, wait...
Daub these ashes...
Eek, no, no...
Then at least carry this pack-
- Aai, please...
- No, I'm not going to listen...
Let it be...
Now you will see, you are going to
hear YES.
Bye...
My little baby...
Bye...
Be safe, yeah?
Gayu...
Hey, Gayu...
- Yeah, I'm on my way ...
- Bring durva and flowers on the way back...
Tomorrow is Angaraki...
I need it for my puja...
Yes, I'm on my way...
Come downstairs I'll pick you up
Hello, now I am observing silence...OK?
You do your things by yourself...
Listen Adu, don't
reschedule our 11.30 con call...
I'll reach in time...
And Paddy?
Tell him to shut his trap...
Just don't talk in front of the client
Whatever it is, I'll handle when I come...
- And I'm supposed to say this to him?
- Why? Of course!
So what if he is senior?
Remember the mess
he had created the last time?
He was being so overdramatic...
That Steve too was upset with him
If you want we can postpone this call
What if you get late?
Have I ever been late, yet?
Spend some time with
him this time at least?
10 min max
So same old trick... is it?
Yes...
Same photo... when I was 25
Only the boy is different...
You're impossible Gayatri
What impossible? It's win-win situation...
Aai-Baba are happy I'm seeing a boy
And that boy would come
seeing my photo of mid-20s...
And when he sees me
in 40s he'd be disappointed
He'd reject me, so I'd be happy as well
There you go...
I just don't get it. Why aren't
you serious about marriage?
Of course I'm serious. Why else
am I going all the way to meet him?
This way...
Shall I take right or left turn?
To the right...right...
Why don't you tell Aai-Baba
you don't want to marry?
Poor souls are so hopeful...
And you play games with them...
Would you withhold your ethics lessons
till I come back to office? Please?
Right now, just
concentrate on Steve's call...
I knew it...
I'd say something and you
would start being my boss
Pull up here... I'll take an auto...
- You go...
- Okay...
Here you go...! Thanks
All the best!
Thanks...
Hello, this way... No, carry on...
Hmm. And you handle him.
OK, bro... I've reached...
Yes, this is it... stop, stop
- How much?
- Eighty
Please give exact amount
Keep the change...
One moment, one moment...
Handsome... shall I?
Shit...
Wha-
No...
Shit...
Bye... I'll talk to you later-
'What's so funny in this?'
Hey, listen, listen...
Disconnect the call,
I'm sending you a video...
Check it out on WhatsApp...
'What is it? What...'
There's a character here ...
In the photo she looks
like Rekha of Umrao Jaan...
And in reality, of Koi Mil Gaya?
Till now I used to think, only I lie...
But he too has kept his younger photo...
What if he too doesn't
want to get married?
I mean that's good if he doesn't...
Why she must be single yet?
In fact, why would someone say no to her?
Her features are so beautiful...
Honestly, he looks older than me...
How old is he?
Umm...Forty?...
No... Forty-two...
Confirmed. 42.
I have heard women hide their age...
But to this extent?
I guess thirty-eight... thirty-nine?
Confirmed, forty...
It's difficult for a girl to
be hitched at this age...
Ahem... We better not talk about this...
About what?
I... I haven't said a word yet...
Whatever is going through your mind...
I can see it...
- Even now?
- Hm. Hm.
That means the actor in me is still alive-
If I hadn't been in this field...
I'd surely have been an actor-
Can we come to the point?
Let's keep the photo...
profile aside and talk, shall we?
Frankly, we both should...
What?
Nice...
It's beautiful... book...
The book is very nice...
Honestly, you should also
read Tuesday with Morrie...
What?
A book called Tuesday With Morrie...
written by Mitch Albom...
You must read that as well...
Everyone should read it...
That would be available on some website...
It's even available on Kindle...
Wow, impressive...
A Marathi professor...
is citing an English book
and that too with author's name...
Really speaking, erudition
cannot be limited by language, does it?
But anyway, please forgive me, I...
had come here in time, but I...
was standing outside,
when the pigeon did-
What?
Sorry...
Sorry, I mean... you were...
looking in the glass of that car...
as if it was a mirror...
It was my car... and I was inside...
This...
This is like...
A thief tried to disguise
hard but still was caught...
Hmm...
Um... so... um, I'm...
Athashri Vinayak Mahajan
Hmm...
I'm a professor of Marathi...
You must have read my details...
Honestly, I took to Marathi language
since my school and college...
I developed a liking for it and later...
I thought my field of work should
be related to Marathi language...
and so, now... I'm engaged in it...and-
The amount of Marathi
I'd speak in a whole month...
You have spoken it all now... sitting here
Um... anyway!
Shall we order something?
Yes... Sure...
Um... Dada...
Ha, Ha, DADA...
What's the matter?
Um... this is your first time here, right?
It's self-service here...
Aah!
Oh!
Will you order or...
Wha-?
I mean... it's I...
who should order... actually...
Of course...
I'll be just back...
Vibha's message.
- Good morning, sir! - Good Morning!
- What would you like to have?
- This...
- Mocha... Large or small?
- It's pronounced MOKA, is it?
- Yes.
- Large.
- OK.
And for her... this
- Espresso?
- Yes
Small or large?
- Large.
- OK.
Your name, sir?
Athashri Vinayak Mahajan
Mahajjan?
Not Mahajjan. Mahajan.
Oh, OK sir!
Listen... lot of noise here...
Shall we sit inside?
Ah, yes. Wherever you wish...
Go, sit... I'll bring coffee
By the way, I am carrying your bag...
Rs. 345/- sir...
Oh, yes...
Just check...
Done.
Thank you...
- Can I ask you something?
- Um? Hmm...
Why do you want to marry?
You... You don't?
No!
Why?
No. I don't want to marry...
But then why you didn't say so earlier?
You should have made
it clear in the beginning...
That's what I'm doing...
I don't want to get married...
Let's finish this coffee...
Then you go your way
And I'll go to my office
But why? Why don't you want marriage?
Arre...
Then why at all you are doing all this?
I... I have my own reasons...
Yeah, but what... tell me, no...
Look, this is personal...
Why should I tell you? You
are my husband or what?
If you let me-
Look... I... um
I'm a bit...
- I mean... I...
- Ah, yes...
Got it...
I got it...
Your...
parents... you don't want them to know
so, you...
You haven't the foggiest idea...
You just don't know anything...
- I know...
- Ugh?
You...
Don't like boys...
You like girls...
- Wha-?
- But now... it's legally accepted...
Are you mad? or what?
Shh... what?
What language?
I'm supporting you...
Shut up!
I'm straight...
Look...
Not to want to marry...
That's not the only reason...
I have my own reasons...
and I don't want to reveal them to you.
You know what?
You can talk all the shit about me...
But can we leave now?
Just wait for some time at least?
We have ordered this coffee...
wait till we finish it?
Forget for life...
at least wait for 5 minutes?
Umm... one moment...
Yeah, tell me, Aditi...
What?
No... I...
Was trying to understand...
I mean...
Even though I was late, you waited...
You were disappointed when you saw me...
and yet you talked...
but...
You want ME to say No to this alliance...
But...
Your eyes are telling me something else...
That means you do want to marry...
But why do want to say no...
God knows...
You are into face-reading, or what?
No
I read...
people...
- That... - What?
- That...
What is it?
Ah... this... in your hair...
- Oh...
- Namaskar... Mr. Mahajan...
Ugh...
Remember me?
Little fun... man...
Namaste...
Mrs. Mahajan...
Hey...?
So...?
Indulging your honey
in a public place... is it?
Mr. Mahajan...
This is inappropriate...
No, no...
W... What, Kshemakalyani...
how are you? All well?
Yes, yes... All well..
We were supposed to meet
at Powai... for conference...
You didn't show up...
Vahini, he did tell you, didn't he?
On your wedding day, we
had an important conference at Powai...
But he was a no show...
because he was with you...
at Andaman...
on honeymoon trip...
What? What?
Athooo...
It's OK...
We had fun in Andaman...
Isn't it, Athoo?
Oho, wow... way to go...
Time was put to good use...
that's important...
By the way, sis-in-law...
You both look romantic...
Athoo, your friend is sooo...
Very handsome... Six-packs and all...
Er... Kshemakalyani -
Don't mind her words.
Please don't you feel bad.
- Mahajan, times indeed have changed...
- Yes...
I mean, earlier the wife
addressed the husband respectfully
I think you have a reverse case...
Not at all... I'm speaking truth...
Athoo...
I didn't understand a word...
That's the reason we were speaking in-
No, no... Don't quarrel with her...
Newly-wed couple must not fight...
Do one thing, Mahajan...
You teach Vahini Sanskrit...
Hmmm
I'm going to have to teach her things...
She is very naughty...
Is it?
I mean,
In family life the partner
should be crazy like this...
That brings a fun flavour, doesn't it?
Just pulling your leg...
OK, listen. Kshemakalyani,
we'll talk about our work later...
Right now, we just...
- Oh yes, yes... I get it... I'll leave now...
- Yes.
But before I leave, can I
take a photo of you two?
No, I mean I've taken one already
When you were like this...
But that was without
your permission, sorry!
- Just one selfie...
- No, what for...
My photos don't come out well...
Athooooo...
He always does this...
Do you know... he didn't
allow even one photo during our wedding
- Athoo please come...
- But...
You are a limit Mahajan...
Hold it... selfie, selfie... one... one...
Hold it there... yeah? Beautiful!
Aha! ...Thank you...
What, Mahajan...
you have such a beautiful wife...
Why do you say no for a photo?
Why is it your business, Kshemakalyani?
Athooo...
Don't get so mad, your
BP will shoot, yaar...
Please stop calling me Athoo...
Let her...
It... it's an affectionate name, isn't it?
And if she doesn't call
you that, who should?
Now you please...
You will go or drink
our coffee and then go?
No, no... I'm going...
Yes
By the way, Vahini,
Our professor's charm is still intact...
Who will know it better than me?
Ohh, yes, of course...
- I'm going... I'm going
- Yes.
By the way
- You have to come to my place... together...
- Yes. Yes.
- Bring Vahini along.
- Yes, yes.
- Without fail... yes...
- 100%...
- Yes... bye...
- Pleasure...
Need to ready wedding gifts and
post pictures on group. It will be fun.
What was that?
This you will tell me...
You gave me an earful for so long...
And you are married already...
That too, including honeymoon?
No, no... I am not married... I-
I was lying to him...
And what all you were blabbering?
Athoo and six pack...
had fun in Andaman...
What was that?
I really love making such people
awkward in an already awkward situations
You know in plain language, this is...
Thank you...
Now those photos he took...
He will go and show others...
So? Big deal!
Forget it, yaar...
People who simply
don't matter in our life,
Why should we take the load
of what they think about us?
By the way...
I truly enjoyed this...
- But... Mr. Professor...
- Hmmm...
Professor of Marathi...
What's your story of life?
Forget it...
What does it matter to you, now?
Arre? Why? Just now...
Even if make-believe it was,
wasn't I your wife?
Athooo... I want to know it...
My marriage was fixed with Isha...
The date was finalized
At my house...
We had decided to
do a registered marriage-
She simply didn't show up...
Where is she?
Uh, oh...
What... what's this, Isha?
Wh... what... why you
called me here? Inside-
That registrar is waiting...
he was about to leave...
I somehow stopped him... come on in...
One minute, one minute, listen...
I want to tell you something important
Don't bring up something
important at this time, let's...
Go there first and do the signing...
I cannot marry you...
That's what I wanted to tell you...
April Fool, right? OK, I was fooled
Let's go...
NO...
I thought a lot last night...
About you, me, our future...
You... this... Look, I... now...
aged 40 years... OK?
Don't give me shocks like this...
If my BP shoots up... I might...
Come, let's go and sign...
I just got married...
Uh... how beautiful is the mehandi... you-
Have you named me Bunty lovingly?
What?
Look, it's written here...
- Bunty!
- Bunty?
Bunty...
Dark glasses, golden bell in the neck...
Dark glasses, golden bell in the neck...
He's one in a million, my dear Bunty...
Bunty who?
May I come in, professor?...
What are you teaching my Bubbly?
You know what, boss...
Let it be an great... yeah?
This Bunty will take away this Bubbly...
Are you ready?
Bubbly...
Hey... a fly would go into your mouth
Story must go on Insta...
I have 3 million followers...
What's this?
He calls me Bubbly, lovingly...
My, my... my salted peanut...
We love each other...
But my family didn't believe it...
Naturally...
But love is blind...
I can see that...
We are made for each other...
What? Is it?
Of course!
Even God willed this...
Oh no, God! You have erred...
What did you see in him? Tell me...
In this goon... What did you see?
Hey...
Show some respect, I tell you...
What you earn in a month...
He spits on the road every week
through the tobacco he buys every week...
That's bad... That Bunty darling...
What... what... what... what
am I forced to see...
This... I can't believe this is true...
and if you had an affair,
why didn't you tell me earlier?
You should have mentioned it...
- How could I? How could I?
- And even your family...
I had shown them YOUR photo...
And yes... they would
come here any moment...
- HERE?
- For OUR wedding...
Oh No!
- What's this?
- Hey Bubbly, come, let's go...
How much do you talk?
Sit...
You handle that, OK?
And the most important thing is...
I told you all this before the wedding...
If I had eloped after the wedding?
You would have got screwed...
Hey, come on... boys are waiting...
Reel is to be posted...
Reel?
Oh... Uncle... don't you know reel?
What year of manufacturing
is this? Too bad...
Visit my Insta profile...
Reel star Bunty...
Let's go, let's go...
Sorry, Athashri...
But you are a very sweet guy...
- bye... let the lovebirds fly...
- See you, professor...
Oh, God...
Are there really such girls?
There are... and they somehow find me...
OK. But tell me...
Bunty?
And not just Bunty... With respect...
Dark glasses... golden bell in the neck...
He's one in a million, my dear Bunty...
- Shall we leave?
- Yes.
After you...
And about that honeymoon, the tickets
were there, so I went alone...
- Seriously?
- Yes.
Vibha, my sister...
and my mother termed me fool
Then I had to go...
And precisely that time
there was Sanskrit Conference
I was absent there... so everyone mistook
it was my own marriage...
and then honeymoon...etc.
How could I explain to everyone?
This Kshemakalyani and others
got more confused because of that
Sorry for that...
Okay...
So, time to go...
Hmm...
Athashri...
- It's really nice to meet you...
- Thank you, same here!
Um... Can I ask you something?
Yes?
Your... decision not to marry is firm?
Unfortunately...
But I'm not the kind
of villain you think I am...
- No...
- We can be good friends to each other..
You know, what I think?
You are going to get a great girl soon...
- 'Coz you're really a good person...
- Thank you!
Your p... thief, thief...
And you are just looking on? Run
after him.. But, the purse is yours, no?
You... I... I...
Hey, stop...stop...
Stop...
Stop...
Hey you, stop...
Hey...
Sto... You...
Stop... please...

Stop... please...
- I won't spare you.
- Come on run faster.
Stop...
Stop... please...
Stop...
Hey, stop. Stop please.
- Get away.
- I won't spare you.
- Policeman: Hey, What?
- Athashri: This... bag...
- Is it yours? - No... It's not mine...
- Then why are you taking it?
- I...
- Thank God!
- Policeman: Come
- Athashri: I... didn't...
- Sir, listen to me...
- Hey, where are you taking him?
Stop...
- You are not listening to me.
- My bag.
Why will I use ladies bag?
Listen to me first.
Mahajan, Mahajan... Mere Mahajan...
Athashri Mahajjan... Mahajjan, Mahajjan
Professor of Marathi... Ha, Ha...
and this is what you do...
Sir... um... Not Mahajjan... Mahajan...
Mind the J...
J... J... and it's not Marhati...
Ma - ra - thi...
Hey... teacher... Don't teach PSI Dange...
My boss too couldn't do it...
what you are teaching...
Remember. And let any
big man come before me
Howsoever big... I keep him under my Dang
- Where?
- Under the Dang... Dang
Always remember that...
- Excuse me... - And who are you?
- Can we know why we are here?
Who called you? You came by yourself...
Haven't you brought him here?
And with him, this, my purse...
This purse is yours?
That's what I said just now, didn't I?
Are you sure, this is your purse?
Do you want to hear it in some different
language?
Oh! Attitude?
Look here, Shelke... teacher...
You two are witnesses, yeah?
This purse is yours?
- Hello, you are sure, this is your bag?
- Arre?
Do you want me to reveal what's in it?
Or what?
What a woman...
She knows exactly, what I want...
Come on, start...
What is in the purse...hmmm?
i-Pad, diary, money...
To be precise,
there's 3,700 rupees in it...
There's lip balm... my office ID Card,
credit card, debit card...
BP medicines...
BP? At this age?
You have BP issue?
But you... - Prescription of
my father's medicines...
There are wet tissues...
Freshener and... my sanitary pads...
- And...?
- Athashri: What are you doing, sir?
She described the whole lot and...
you are again...
- We are leaving...
- Hey, teacher...
Teacher...
Fish's stomach and a woman's purse...
you never know what you'd find in them...
Tell me, what's more in it...
Cigarette and lighter...
Cigarette?
Can't believe
- Sir, one moment... One moment...
- Hey, sit down!
- Sir, just one moment... one... one moment
- Hey...
You... you SMOKE?
And... you hid it?
What more are you hiding?
In the information you
hadn't written you smoke
Are you mad? It's not mine...
It means you rent out your purse
I was kidding.
Do you really smoke?
You... Just shut up...
Why are you shouting at me? You
are the one lying, and you shout at me?
Arre, it's not mine... I'm carrying
it so that Baba doesn't smoke...
- But, you...
- Hey, Tom and Jerry...
Shut up means shut up... Go, sit there...
Sit down.
Sir... sir...
What more is there in it?
- What more? I've told you everything...
- Oh, yeah?
Now, I'll show you what's in it...
Aha!
What?
Hmmm... cocaine...
Coc... cocaine?
Heroine's purse contains cocaine...
Hey, heroine...
Whose cocaine is it?
Your purse had THIS? I never
thought you are into all this...
- Gayatri: No...
- Athashri: Had I known this earlier...
I'd have never come to
meet you for marriage...
No, listen, that packet isn't mine...
Look at her... sir... sometime ago...
She was yelling that this is her purse...
She even described all the contents...
And see, she is denying
the purse is hers...
Whose cocaine is it?
Sir, don't you show her so much respect,
she is a criminal. - YOU-
Now I understand...
When you caught him, this
purse was in his hands, right?
Now I tell you, this
purse is not mine at all...
He has done something,
he is a peddler...
Shit... Shelke... teacher... peddler?
No, no, no, no... sir...
I'm telling the truth...
I... Even my medicines are Ayurvedic...
I... How would I do this? - Is it?
Sir, I'll tell you... I met this
man just a couple of hours ago...
It was my mistake, I trusted him...
I'm telling you...
He is the one who has
put cocaine in my purse...
Ugh... What are you saying?
Heaping all false allegations on me...
Sir, I had...
Third policeman: Caught this thief...
Snatching women's purses...
He is the thief I was chasing...
- Shit, Shelke...
- Shelke: Identical purses messed up
Full Two filmy yaar, Seeta and Geeta...
May I? - Yes... Why not? Take it...
Gaikwad, take him away...
Sir... i-Pad...
yes, yes... diary... yes...
Shall I take out everything?
No... no... This much is fine...
Now, do you believe me?
Speak up, professor...
Shelke, take the vehicle and
drop them where they were...
- Yes sir. - Sir, no need... we will...
- Hey, we must drop you...
We nab criminals... likewise
we have to drop them as well...
Please forgive...
Police friend, chapter end...
And... just reduce the addiction...
Say this to your Papa...
Else, they will show your film in
the theatres before the main film...
Bye, sir...
Earlier I was no one
but now look how special I am.
Like this.
Policeman: Bye... Yes...
Do invite for the wedding... - Yes...
Let's go.
How can you do this being on duty?
You called me drug peddler?
Drug peddler?
That thief ran away with your purse...
I ran after him...
I fell down, my knee was injured...
Yet I ran...
And you called me a drug
peddler in the police station? Me?
Sorry... Forget whatever happened...
For..forget? How can I?
I never went to a police station in my life
Now thanks to you, I have done that too
Firstly, I have said sorry, didn't I?
Look, I too was scared... confused...
And I don't go to police station
everyday as if it's fun...
The allegations you made against me...
Made me say all that...
Sorry...
I said sorry... Hello...
'Where are you?
You said 10 mins...'
Wait a moment, I...
I'll call you... wait...
I too was scared...
That Landge was like this...
and interrogating me...
Dange...
Yeah, whatever... Dange...
All right... I accept... We were caught
up in this whole mess because of me...
So... um... Just to say sorry...
I want to give you a treat...
There was nothing in
it to deserve a treat, was it?
- But it's chow time, so let's eat something
- No, let it be... Please? No
- No, let it be...
- Please?
No
- Pleeeease...
- What are you doing?
- I'm so hungry...
- You are impossible...
One moment... Hello... yes...
'Gayatri, where are you?
You were supposed to come in 10 mins...'
'Do you plan to get married and
finish honeymoon as well or what'
You couldn't wait for even
5 minutes and called me... What?
- 'What Paddy has screwed up royally...'
- What?
'Steve is
real pissed off on you...'
What do you mean?
But I had told you to lead, didn't I?
'Yes,
I was but Paddy won't listen'
What do you mean,
he didn't listen to you?
'No, he didn't.
Will he ever listen to me?'
This... door...
- How-
- 'And all this is because of you.'
'You always put everything
on my head and go...'
How's that possible?
'How can
you be so irresponsible?'
- 'Steve is mad at you...'
- Yes... OK... No, no, I'm reaching...
I'll come now... you...
you don't panic, OK?
- What if we lose the project?
- We will work out something...
'I'm really scared. Nobody
listens to me and Paddy especially...'
Yes? OK. Listen, listen...
No... OK... I'll... I'll
join Zoom from here
- I'll speak to him...
- 'Join the Zoom meeting right now'
- 'Steve is ranting'
- Will you please wait?
Oh, yes...
You... you just calm down yaar...
I said I'll call you, wait...
My... Where's my key?
What happened?
My car keys...
Did you check in your purse?
Yes, yes, I did... You know what I think,
In this whole mess it's lost somewhere...
- Oh my God!
- Sorry, I've to attend a Zoom meeting...
Uh... Gosh!
Hey, hey, calm down, calm down...
Do one thing... Go and sit inside...
Do your office work, I'll go and get the
key maker...
- Hey, hello, these keys can't be duplicated-
- Why?
It's with a remote...
Why do they make technology
so complicated?
- How do I know that?
- Oh, Oh, OK... OK
Now what?
- We have one option...
- What?
There's always a spare key...
which is at my house... - At the house? OK
Yes. OK.
What?
No... No! No! No!
No... Had we married today,
wouldn't you have
- gone for the sake of your wife?
- No... No... Please...
- Pleeeease, pleeeease...
- Wha... what are you doing?
OK, OK... I'll go...
Send me the location...
Sent...
All right... Who's at home?
- Baba would be there, I'll inform him...
- Hmmm...
- Rickshaw!
- Baba...
Baba, listen.
Please take out the spare key of my car
I'm sending someone to collect it...
Stop, stop...
You wait here, please... I'm coming
Namaskar... This is...
Gayatri Desai's house, right?
- Hmmm... hmmm?
- I... I... have come to take the keys...
No, no... keys... car...
No, no... listen..
- This is Desai residence, no?
- Hmmm...
- But I... no...
- Hmm...
Sorry, I don't understand this... language
sorry...
Hello, I... what? Keys... keys...
I have come to collect keys... K E Y S...
One moment... You go, I'll talk to him...
You observe silence. Go...
Yes. Who do you want? - Namaskar... I...
I've come to collect Gayatri's car keys...
Oho... I see... Gayatri had called...
Come... come...
- Um... shoes?
- It's OK, come in...
Watch your step, please...
- Sit...
- Yes...
You came to collect the spare key, right?
Yes. Here... ready...
- Take it......
- Shall I take your leave? - Wait... wait...
Have water at least?
Will you bring a glass of water?
Have it... have water... and have the
sweet She has made it herself... - Nice!
Tell me something...
How did the key get lost?
- No, I mean... our daughter is very careless
- Yes. -
Um... No, she had tied it to her purse,
so perhaps, in the rush...
Ah ha... so that's how it happened...
Tell me... Who are you? Do you
work under Gayu in her office? No, no...
I... um... I...
Athashri Vinayak Mahajan...
WHAT? ... Wh... what happened?
- That means the prospective groom...
- Yes...
Sorry, sorry...
we were mistaken... Hello...
HE is the one who Gayu had
gone to meet for marriage...
- Sit, sit... at least have a sweet...
- No, but... I...
Take it... take it...
God is great! That means it's fixed...
Today, finally my
Amarendra Baba heeded me...
Here, the holy ashes...
Dear son-in-law,
I'm so happy to meet you..
Oh, why am I sitting here talking...
I'll make tea for you...
- She can speak?
- Of course...
I truly don't want anything...
You've misunderstood... I...
- Masala milk? Yes, Masala milk
- No... You must have Masala milk...
- You've given us such a great news...
- Yes, yes...
You see, once she gets married,
we are free
You are mistaken, it's nothing like that
at least hear me out...
What is more to hear now?
A man comes home to collect spare car key
and that too after the first meeting...
What's more romantic beginning than this?
Tell me...
If you know the fact, you'd faint...
Did you just say something?
I said, I'd leave now,
rickshaw is waiting...
his meter is running... Sit, sit...
Tell me who all in your family?
- And whoever it is, we have no problem...
- And the house is your own-?
Even if it's rented,
we have no problem...
- What's your salary?
- Whatever it may be, we have no problem
Son-in-law, have you
decided about the gifts?
We will bear all the expenses
of the wedding. No tension...
All this is Gayu's after all!
Just tell me...
Do you have any... addiction...?
Before you speak to me...
Can you please talk to your daughter?
I'd leave now, rickshaw is waiting...
- I am leaving...
- Son-in-law... - One moment...
Son-in-law... Wouldn't you even bow to
your would-be in-laws?
Well... - Ha, ha... you are lucky
She is only speaking of bowing before us
I was expecting her to do much more...
- OK
- Listen... happy married life...
Take a selfie with him...
Oh, great! Can you take a selfie?
- Um... yes...
- OK. Quick...
Here... take it... Smile, wife...
Look, they made me take a selfie...
What does that mean?
All the women in your family are...?
Dangerous like that?
My mom, really did this to you? OMG...
You touched their feet as son-in-law?
Goodness Me!
And Masala milk is her pet thing...
You know, in her first
appearance, I thought...
She was like making hand-gestures...
I thought if she is probably mute...
I mean... she... can't talk...
Wha......
That's an altogether story...
You know, my mom...
...was told by Amarendra Baba...
that, the day the girl goes to meet a
boy, if she adopts Mauna...
Her marriage would get fixed immediately
Wow!
Your folks are quite positive people...
My family has perhaps
given up on my marriage...
But, why you are so desperate to marry?
- That too, at this age...
- What do you mean, this age?
Age is just a number...
- What do you mean desperate?
- Hmmm...
When I was still studying,
my parents passed away
I had a younger sister... Her education,
marriage... all was my responsibility...
and in fulfilling them, I was past the
right age to marry, I didn't even know when
And someone may have some dream...
Shouldn't he pursue it?
And I'm quite well settled in my career
I have a decently
paying and respected job-
I mean, speaking of my personal life...
Shouldn't I live it? eh?
You have a point...
But, let's play a game...
The game of kande-pohe...
Game?
- So, Mr. Athashri...
- Yes...
Tell me...
What do you expect in a partner?
Don't laugh... Your face is writ with
the fact, you want to answer this question
What... what a woman you are...
Arre, I'm normal... but you talk...
No excuses...
Look, I'm no Shah Rukh Khan... So I don't
expect a Deepika walking into my life...
- Hmmm...
- So looks... are out...
OK. Money was never a criterion for me...
For me, there's only one criterion...
and that is... meeting of minds...
Thank you...
Thank you!
You revealed a tough criterion
in so simple words...
But, is meeting of
the minds really so easy?
I mean... what about other things?
Like?
Nature... Likes and dislikes...
Lifestyle... Compatibility?
Meeting of the minds is most important...
- How can you say that?
- Um...
Tell me... Why did you order Uttappa?
Um... Firstly, I like the Sambar here...
And the cheese they use in Uttapam...
It's out of the world... and this chutney-
it-
What did I ask?
Why... did you... order... Uttappa?
You love the Sambar... You love chutney...
Why didn't you order just Sambar
and chutney?
Because, the dish they accompany...
If that's not there, they are meaningless.
Your Uttappa... is mind...
that ought to be good
If that's good, then nature, lifestyle...
and all that, have a meaning...
else, it's useless...
So... meeting of minds is important...
OK. So, with this I end my speech here...
And direct the questions to you...
Tell me, why didn't you get married?
I mean why you don't want it?
There must be some reason, right?
There's no reason not to speak out now...
One sec... Hello?
Hello... hello...?
One sec...
Hello...?
Hello?
Hello?
Can you hear me? Speak...
I... I have to go...
We will speak later...
- Athashri-
- Please, Please...
Rickshaw... hey... stop!
Rickshaw... listen... this way...
No! Listen... this way... hey, rickshaw...
What the heck?
- Athashri... What happened? All OK?
- Yes... I...
I have car... can I drop you?
Will you? I have to go, it's important...
No rickshaw is available, will you drop me?
Yes, yes... - Please, please, please
Let's go, let's go...
Athashri, please... calm down...
Please drive faster...
Yes, but... at least tell me what's wrong?
Dr. Shastri... Have you left? Yes...
I am coming... reaching...
- Yes... Why don't you drive faster?
- Yes, yes... - Faster, faster...
- FASTER!
- OK, OK, OK...
Look,
Don't wait for me to start the treatment
You get started... and please tell her
Not to fear, I'm reaching...
Dr. Shastri, please, please...
Yes, I'm reaching...
Straight, straight...
You are too slow... step up... Yes, yes...
Please, please, please...
Take the next right turn...
- From here?
- Yes, right from here...
Go on, go on...
This way... yes, yes... here?
Take it in...
That's it, that's it...
That's it! Stop...

What's all this?
Tell me only if you are comfortable...
When I was doing my Ph.D.
I had come here for some work...
To meet the chief of this Ashram...
Salgaonkar Uncle...
My work got over and I... was leaving
When the Mavshi...
Came in with an infant left at the gate...
That infant must be
about just 1 year-old..
It was howling...
Crying its heart out...
Kaka immediately called the police...
and asked me if I could watch out
for the baby...
To calm the crying baby,
I was trying things...
I whistled, waved my hands...
I took her in my hands...
lifted her high... and...
...she calmed down...
Then suddenly, the baby touched my hand
and that touch...
Awakened something deep inside me...
The police came, doctors came...
All the medico-legal formalities were done
But, I developed some kind of relationship
with that baby girl from that moment...
Truth is, I'd become her father
in that moment...
That baby, someone had left
at the gate crying...
calmed down in my hands...
You know the light
flower that flies around
and sticks to our body...
Something like that happened to me...
She refused to part with me...
and so did I...
Salgaonkar Kaka said...
Mahajan, the girl is happy in your arms...
Very nice...
And then this continued...
I started coming here regularly for a week
To talk to her, to play with her...
and then...
I opened up with Kaka... He was happy...
He said, Mahajan, give the girl a name...
And suddenly the name Mukta
came out of my mouth...
Mukta
And... I became Mukta's...
foster parent...
She has this infantile asthma...
So if she plays and frolics a lot...
She has a problem... and if I'm not with
her at that time...
I feel very guilty...
I have taken her to be my daughter,
after all...
I can't bear her suffering like that...
You shouldn't feel guilty.
You're doing a lot for her...
and these children perceive this...
Everything you do reaches them...
Haven't you come here
the moment you heard it?
and have brought the situation
under control...
You are indeed her father...
Alas! Not legally...
I want to adopt her... but...
Our law doesn't allow me...
A single man cannot
adopt a girl by law...
and so... I want to marry...
So that I can adopt her as my daughter...
Sometimes I fear...
what if I'm not able to marry anyone?
If no girl says YES to me?
And at that time if a couple comes...
They like her and take her away...
What would I do?
- That won't happen...
- But how?
I can't live without her...
and nor can she
That won't happen...
Don't worry, that won't happen...
Arre... you... why did you get up?
You were not well, no?
If you go without meeting me?
Ah... How could I go without meeting you?
Who's sitting here? Me, right?
- Sometime ago I was having a lot of trouble
- Yes-Yes
Suddenly it was dark all around
and I fell down... - Ohhh...
Doctor Uncle came to see you, didn't he?
He checked you...
He gave you a nice, sweet medicine...
And you know, I prayed to God...
To take away all the
trouble our Mukta has...
You know what magic God did?
What?
He said, Abracadabra... chhooo...
And Mukta's pain went away...
Do you know
what I learned to do yesterday?
What? Oh? Wow!
What a big aeroplane!
And... and sitting in this aeroplane...
How tiny would Mukta look?
Just this much... and she would fly
like this... - Tiny Mukta...
Do you know Gayatri...
Our Mukta, is a very brave girl...
She is scared of nothing...
Hey... we want to hear
Sun God's story, no? Yes?
Give it to me... come on...
Come on, let's listen to the story...
- Shall we sit here? Aah..
- OK
Arre, where has Sun God gone?
- Um... He's there... See there...
- Where?
He is hiding behind those clouds...
So far away?
But remember, Mukta...
Howsoever far is he...
He is watching you and all of us...
Whenever you look up...
He is looking at you!
And when Sun God comes in the morning
From that side... He is only this big...
Baby Sun God... Even smaller than Mukta
Then, just like Mukta gets ready and goes
to school... He too gets ready...
Takes his sack, water bottle...
Goggles, cap, shoes...
and the baby God reaches the top of our
head giving sunlight to all...
By then he is big like me...
And then again, travels back home...
to his mother...
at that time, he is old...
And then... he grows old and goes home
He is very tired...
His mother asks him, come, dear...
Why didn't you bring your child?
Then Sun God replies,
I was too tired to lift her up...
He says, I have headache, my hands have
pain, my back aches...
I'll take off tomorrow, I won't go...
and starts crying...
His mother said, you can't cry...
and you can't stay home...
Everyone is waiting for you... If
you don't go, who will give them energy?
If you don't go, who will give them light?
You have to go...
Then she pulls him close to her...
Pats him... Massages his body with oil...
Sings a lullaby... and then the old Sun
after going home to his mother...
Slowly... becomes a baby
once again... and falls asleep
But when he sleeps in the night, does he
forget us?
Sun is like Baba... and does
Baba ever forget his children?
No
When Sun God is
sleeping in his mother's lap...
He knows there's no one to give us
energy and look after Mukta...
He calls a friend of his...
Do you know who this friend is? That...
That one...
He says... Mukta, don't worry...
I'm there...
You will never be lonely...
We will see to that...
Say thank you to him...
Thank you Moon...
Thank you Sun God...
Come on, Mukta...
Time for meal...
Let's go... - We have to take medicine...
Come, come...
Here... Your aeroplane...
Go...
- Come on...
- Very good! Ta Ta...
See you tomorrow...
Ta ta...
OK...
So? You had fun?
Aha! Nice photos of you two...
And what a sweet girl, Mukta is...
She just wins you over instantly...
Truly. Nice snaps.
Send me... all... please...
Hmmm...
These aren't just photos...
They are memories...
When we feel someone close is going
far away, we hold them tightly... Hm.
That time that relation
becomes even thicker, isn't it?
The relationship between you and Mukta
is at that point now...
When you are alone... in ME time...
when you close your eyes...
That time you will remember all these
memories...
And then a beautiful smile
will grow on your face...
I'll remember those memories... and...
I'll remember you too...
I mean... All this has
happened because of you...
And I don't want to demean the emotion
behind it by using that word, but anyway...
Thank you!
Let's go...
- Yes, Aai...
- 'Gayu, where ARE you?'
and why your phone
is unreachable?
'Anyway, let it be... listen...'
Yeah, tell me...
'Why didn't you tell us,
son-in-law has said YES to you?'
- Who has said yes?
- What do you mean?
He, who had come today... Mahajan...?
'He who had
come to collect keys...'
'And second important thing is...'
Just a minute, just a minute...
Aai. Swapnil who?
'What are you saying?'
'Hadn't you met him
a couple months ago?'
One sec, wait... hold on...
Just a minute, please...
That Swapnil woke up TODAY, is it?
I tell you, no other girl
must have said yes to him...
That's why he is contacting us again...
'Listen, Gayu-'
He had said he didn't want in-laws at all,
hadn't he?
And today he agreed to
take you also to the US?
Yes, that's what...
I'd be happy to go to US
Aai, listen... When I come back, we will
sit across and talk in detail, OK?
Not on phone now... all right?
This girl, I tell you...
Do you have time, now?
Now?
Yes, NOW!
Do you have time to
come with me to a place?
Yes... I'll come...
I didn't know you...
have are such a believer in God
Don't laugh, I mean it...
I don't know that... but...
I like to come to this temple often...
I don't know why, but today
I felt like coming with you, ...
I have some connection
with Lord Vitthal here...
What, why... I don't know...
but there is...
You know, I used to live here...
slept here...
This was my home, once...
I don't get it...
I don't remember exactly... but...
..when I was young, my father...
Left me outside this temple...
At the main entrance where there are flower
shops... an old woman used to sit there...
She saw me and... kept me with her...
I started living with her...
She truly taught me to live life...
I... often said to her... I want to
work with you, teach me some work...
I don't know how old I was...
but she used to say,
you are just 8-10 years old...
what work do I give you?
But I insisted and had
learned how to pack flowers... you know...
Tear pages from books, put
some flowers and wrap them...
Once, on a book page...
I found a story called Lost Moonshine...
Seeing the title, somehow
I sat to read the story...
It was a story about a lost
childhood in a sky named City...
I began to see it as my own story...
Grandma noticed that I'm reading something
When she asked, I read
the story to her as well...
And I said to her I loved the story...
Then grandma said...
Check if there's the name of the
author and his address at the bottom...
If yes, write him a
letter and let him know...
Excited, I started writing the letter...
and I wrote in it that
I liked your story a lot...
You have written it very well...
And if there are more such books...
Please send me... I want to read them...
When I read out the
letter to grandma, she said-
Silly girl... where would he send
you the books? To which address?
Better that you go yourself to that
address and hand him the letter yourself...
I was thrilled as I set out to do that...
I reached his house...
But I was a bit scared as well...
I saw the letter-box on the gate...
I thought I'd drop the letter in it...
and leave quickly...
Just as I was about to drop
the letter in the box, he saw me...
Hey...
What do you want?
What?
Wait, I'm coming...
Saying this he came to me...
Yes, girl...?
What do you want?
Sir, you write story very well...
Is it?
But what do YOU want?
You had written that story Lost
Moonshine... I think it's about me...
Will you give me your stories to read?
Yes... Why not? Sure...
And... unknowingly, we became friends...
After that he started coming here...
He sent me books at the temple...
Sometime he would come and
read out the stories to me himself...
Sometimes, he would bring me nice clothes
Gradually, he started
taking me to his house...
He gave me something to eat...
He gave me a lot of love...
And then one day... he adopted me...
Gayatri... they named me...
And I got parents again...
They, who brought me into the world,
I don't even remember...
Of course, their existence
doesn't matter to me...
But I don't even hate them...
No?
Forgive and forget...
Instead of crying over what's gone, one
should be happy with what is... isn't it?
Do you know what I say to
my Aai-Baba lovingly?
Vithobaba and Rukhu Aai...
People like these...
Coming in our life really
requires a great luck...
You are truly blessed... really...
True!
They really dote me...
And I too adore them...
and literally...
They put aside own happiness and
have done everything for my happiness...
I...
Cannot even imagine being
selfish in matters concerning them...
But why do you even think you would be?
I said NO to you, the moment we met...
It's for some reason...
I too wish I should marry...
Just as my Baba has
taken care of my Aai...
Someone should take care of me as well...
But I don't know... I mean...
for this selfish feeling...
I am not convinced I should leave Aai-Baba
But I... don't understand
why you think someone said
No to you, just to avoid
taking care of your parents?
I have so many friends, who
take care of their in-laws very well...
Provide them everything...
But I don't want a boy, who would be a
provider of everything to my parents...
I want someone who'd love them...
Can't I provide everything to my parents?
If I'm not near them, I can provide
them whatever they would need...
Why do I need a boy to do that?
That's the reason...
I don't at all want a boy, who would
regard my Aai-Baba a mere responsibility...
This is my condition...
Excellent!
Bravo!
Can I tell you something?
Just a request...
Loosen all other conditions
from your expectations...
But this condition, about taking care
and responsibility of your parents...
Don't loosen it, even it means death...
Be firm on it...
OK. Why do you jump with
a sword in hand directly? Huh?
What is, is!
I liked your thoughts...
and I have liked them
so much that right now,
I want to treat you
to a great cup of tea...
Let us...
Let us...
To, your thoughts... which I have really
liked and am totally convinced about...
this fantastic tea...
- Thank you...
- Cheers...
Mmmm...
Wow, Dada...
- Shall I tell you something?
- Hmm
I have a lifelong regret...
I couldn't do anything for
flower-seller grandma...
I mean... I've never been selfish...
But I was very young...
and at that young age,
what life dished out to me...
After that, getting a well-to-do family...
Was a joy with which
I indulged myself there...
But as I grew up... I often saw her face
in my mind... even today it happens...
I have this nagging feeling that...
How could I forget her,
why did I do nothing for her?
And now I don't want that to
happen in the case of Aai-Baba, ever...
Don't you think you are paying the
EMI of your parents' love for you?
They have accepted you
from heart... loved you...
Why are you carrying it as
a burden, as if it's a loan...?
Being an outsider, how can you say this?
What do you know about
our family, our relations...
You yourself said your
parents are your pride...
- Hmm...
- Not the need...
If you don't make this clear...
How can you expect a new person
to start loving them right away...?
- It's nice... Tea...
- Mmmm...
All right...
I'll leave now... It's quite late...
Oh yes... I forgot...
Tomorrow's Angaraki...
I saw Ganesha idol with tusk on right...
Your Aai must be worshipping Him...
She would need this tomorrow...
Thank you!
- May I?...
- Yes...
How much is the bill? Twenty...
The tea was nice... here...
Here...
OK, may I go?
I'll visit again... sometime, for tea...
Thank you!
Do you snore at night?
What?
When you sleep in the night...
do you snore?
No, I sleep peacefully...
Woosh... then there would
be no problem... - What?
What, man? You are so...
Bring it quickly.
Set the cap properly.
- Where is the stole?
- Give him. - Here.
Welcome, welcome...

Coming.
