Dhansukh Dilemma
[woman sings in foreign language.]
[chair vibrating.]
Dhansukh Bhai.
[rewinds song.]
[theme music.]
It's been, like, three weeks.
You know how many times I broke up with a girl? I snap back.
I'm back.
I'm back, too, you know.
Plus, I think she's dating somebody else.
I haven't thought about her in seven days.
You know, I just wanna get back to my first love.
-That chubby chick? -Business.
We need to get back to our roots.
Taxi business.
It's in our blood, Hyder.
Lemont, I told you, there's no money in the taxi business.
I met this guy while you were away.
He's a TV producer.
What are you talking about? You talking about the TV business -or you talking about the taxi business? -Both.
He has a reality show called Taxi Confessions.
He's looking for qualified taxi drivers.
You see where I'm going with this? Why didn't you tell me you were coming, Dhansukh Bhai? I could've come to the airport to pick you up.
Here you go.
A little gift from Shree Ganesh.
So what brings you here so unexpectedly? I'm here on business.
I'm representing Shree Ganesh at the IPL.
Oh, the International Cricket League.
It's International Peanut Liaison.
Oh, wow.
That's great news.
It's excellent news! -Yeah! -We are currently the fifth largest exporters of raw peanuts in India.
By next year, we will be number three.
So what have you been up to? Well, Shree Ganesh is the IT division of our-- Shree Ganesh is peanut and peanut-based products.
Just because you put the family name in the business, does not mean it's the same business.
I took my share of the family business and invested it in this company.
This IT company.
Your share was supposed to be in the peanut butter division, Hasmukh.
Please don't start this again.
You know that I'm allergic to peanuts! What allergy?! It-- It's all in your head! [in Gujarati.]
You can't even speak our language! [in English.]
We lost a major share of the peanut butter market in India just because of you! There is no peanut butter market in India.
-You don't know the new India! -I know India! Of course not! I told Dadaji, do not send him to New Zealand! Now look what has happened! You can't even speak our language! [speaks foreign language.]
Please don't start this again with me, Dhansukh Bhai.
I don't want to fight about the same things over and over again! Okay, all right.
Let's relax.
Okay, tell me.
How is this IT business of yours doing? It's good.
We're on the right track, you know.
We're gonna make it.
We're currently the fifth largest provider of Citrus software in the nation.
But when Citrus 3.
0 releases, we will be number one, Dhansukh Bhai.
But are you making any money? Yeah yeah.
[stammers.]
We're making money.
I mean, you know we have our ups and our downs, just like any other company, but we're on the road to making money.
Yeah, absolutely.
-[knocking.]
-Hasmukh, you gotta get on a call.
Triboro Tech called again.
They're threatening to leave us.
Thank you very much, Roli.
Triboro Tech is a minor client.
Don't worry, we'll flush this problem right out.
Excuse me, Hasmukh.
The toilet won't flush again.
So you two never dated in school? Oh, God, no.
-[man.]
Nope.
-That came outta your mouth quickly.
[all talking at once.]
See? All we gotta do is make them forget that they're in a cab so that way they relax and then they'll open up.
I think that's gonna be easy.
You know I was a child actor when I was a kid.
I was the face of a local camel dealership.
You can say I basically grew up in show business.
Um, we're talking about a different set of skills here.
It's still "lights, camera, action.
" We need a good story, all right? Once we get a good story, then all we have to do is ask these people to sign a release form.
Network approves of the story, they give us ten grand.
But, you know, they gotta be good stories.
Juicy ones.
Now did you ask them maybe about potential brand sponsorships? Like maybe I could be drinking a Pepsi and driving the car.
And then we could get some sweet, sweet Pepsi money.
We're sitting on a goldmine here, all right? We already own a cab.
We gotta pick up people regardless.
So, next thing we gotta do is record it.
Mmm two birds, one stone.
We're not driving a taxi anymore, we're driving a story.
[in Hindi.]
Some wheat ï¬our ï¬rst.
[in English.]
That's it.
The cooking oil.
And switch it on.
[in Hindi.]
Just watch now.
Wow, like a printing press for chapathis? Who needs a wife now? Almost, almost.
[both laugh.]
Dimple, see what Dhansukh brought us.
Automatic chapathi maker.
[in English.]
Chapathiomatic, I've seen this online.
I've always wanted it.
-It's out on the market? -Not yet.
But I have my connections.
And I got you some cooking oil.
Export quality.
Made in our Surat plant, just a few weeks back.
You can cook anything with this and it will taste good.
How do you think I've been able to stand Pithaji's cooking for so long? [both laugh.]
Thank you so much, Dhansukh Bhai.
[in Hindi.]
It looks so good.
[in English.]
It smells really good, too.
[in Hindi.]
But, Dimple, I want to say something.
Cholesterol is an enemy of my health.
[in English.]
Hasmukh, I don't know whether I should feel more insulted about your Hindi, or your general knowledge.
Cholesterol in peanut oil? At least don't embarrass yourself in front of your in-law.
It's okay.
We'll use it sparingly.
Peanut oil has the lowest cholesterol of all the oils.
But you don't know that because the olive oil industry rules the media.
That reminds me, Hasmukh, you have still not responded to my meeting request.
-Meeting request? -Check your Blackberry.
I sent you an email one hour ago.
We were eating together an hour ago.
Why didn't you just tell me in person? Hasmukh, I separate business from personal matters.
And I think you should also do the same.
-Ah! Look! -Wow! [in Gujarati.]
Saw that? [in English.]
Perfect every time.
[in Hindi.]
Wow, this thing is amazing! And so quick.
[in Gujarati.]
How fast! I have a lunch with Sneha tomorrow.
Kunjin says her film career is not doing too well.
She needs moral support.
You remember Sneha? One, two, three, four, five, six Vaguely.
She's getting really big, you know.
[scoffs.]
Wasn't she always big? I'm talking about her fitness career.
What are you talking about? [Papaji and Bhai laughing.]
There they go again, talking about me out there.
And your papa, he laughs at everything he says.
At least Papa has someone to talk to.
[Hasmukh.]
I hate it when he turns up unexpected like this.
He always has an ulterior motive.
Why don't you just go talk to them instead of pretending to work over here? I'm busy with my paperwork.
Looks like you're just punching holes in Costco flyers to me.
No, Linda-- Linda, look-- No, we completely understand, Linda.
I understand.
No, we know how big the cloud is now.
If there's anything that we can do to change your mind, Linda-- What if Matt and I came by personally-- Hello? Hello? -[taps receiver.]
-Hello, Linda? Hello? Now our number one customer is gone.
It's days like these that make me really question myself.
[sighs.]
Well this was a waste.
Mr.
Hasmukh, your brother in the conference room.
Nice guy.
Great.
Really great.
All right, that should be it.
It's good to be back in the real world again.
Oh, this is better than the real world.
This is reality television.
-[laughs.]
-Let's do it! Yes, yes! Ooh, fist bump.
Hasmukh.
Come on.
Come on in.
Come on, take a seat.
[in Gujarati.]
Sit, sit.
[in English.]
You want me to call in some tea, coffee for you? No, that's-- That's fine.
Dhansukh Bhai, this is my office, I can get my own tea.
Okay, let's get started.
Can you tell me what this represents? I've already read this book.
We're only using two percent of our brain power-- -No.
-No? This is your profit margin.
Two percent.
I had a chance to go through all your balance sheets.
You can't do that.
This is confidential information.
What confidential? Confidential.
I[in Gujarati.]
have seen you running around in the house naked.
-Okay? -Yeah, I got it.
[in English.]
Let's get serious here.
Remember my idea about the peanut butter facility? It's more than an idea.
You've built the plant already? Of course.
Who else is going to do that? We are ready to export fine quality peanut butter internationally.
We have also started ad campaign.
Look.
"Butter can't get better.
" That's my idea.
That's great, Dhansukh Bhai.
I always knew you had a passion for peanut butter.
Of course, but that's where you come in.
I am ready to start our U.
S.
sales office.
-Were you looking for an office rental? -Mmm-mm-mm.
I am looking for you to come in as our U.
S.
sales manager.
You.
I have talked to Dadaji.
Now he's ready to get you back in.
But, Bhai, I'm already running my own company here.
"Running your own company"? You call-- You call this a business, a company? [clicks teeth.]
You know, Hasmukh, back home, we are all really concerned for you.
[in Gujarati.]
Everyone is worried about you.
[in English.]
You want to do something in your life or not? [in Gujarati.]
You are getting old.
[in English.]
You're a grown-up.
You need to get settled now.
9th and Broadway, please.
-So how is it going today? -[woman.]
Good, actually.
You guys doing a little partying? Yeah.
He's in town for a week, so, showing him a good time in the city.
So, uh, how do you like the city so far? [French accent.]
Oh, it's beautiful, but the woman is even more beautiful.
-[giggles.]
-Love at first sight.
He's never seen a Puerto Rican before.
God, I love Puerto Ricans.
I'm thinking about proposing.
Right here, right now? In the car? What?! Are you drunk? -Calm down.
-No, no.
This is not a joke.
-You are already engraved into my heart.
-Stop the car.
[Lemont.]
That's what I'm talking about.
All right, you guys, if you could move to the left a little bit, that'd be great.
-Will you marry me? -You are freaking me out.
I told you already, I'm not looking for a relationship.
But, baby, this is not a relationship? This is-- Okay, fine.
This is just me.
[conversation continues indistinctly.]
Damn, that would've been perfect.
I just realized they didn't pay.
I saw the design of your new DVD.
It looks like a Dhansukh poster.
-Was it too much? -Oh, no, no.
It was good, it was good.
You gotta put yourself out there.
And you've always been good at marketing yourself, yeah? I know all this fitness DVD stuff is it's great and all, I still really miss acting.
Sneha, you'll get back into it, you know, when the time is right then do it.
Can I give you a piece of advice, Sneha? You cannot worry about the things you can't change, you know? Excuse me, I know this is very weird.
My friend and I are having a bet.
Aren't you the "constipation girl"? So, Hasmukh, I reorganized your organization chart.
Uh, this white guy here, he can be our lead salesman.
This guy will be the order filler.
[speaks foreign language.]
These two can be puns.
And this girl will be our receptionist.
Look, I know what you're trying to do here.
Okay? But I'm perfectly happy with my IT company.
Technology is like fashion.
What are you going to do when this IT goes out style? Our Dadaji went against the whole family when times got tough.
Shree Ganesh himself picked him up from the forest floor and put him in his bed.
All that is nonsense.
That was all his dream.
There was no elephant, there was no forest.
It never happened.
But how did he get his scars then? [in Gujarati.]
Our grandfather got drunk and got into a ï¬ght with Jagdish Mama's cow.
He had no clue on what happened.
All that elephant story was nonsense.
He wanted to hide his drinking from grandma.
[in English.]
Think about it.
We are peanut people.
Nothing changes that.
It's in our blood.
[in Gujarati.]
Don't worry, kiddo, I will ï¬x up your life.
[in English.]
I got this hot date tonight.
-Oh, very good.
-Oh, who's the lucky girl? -Oh, her name is Samantha.
-Oh-- Wait, Samantha? -Yeah.
Beautiful girl, like a 9.
8.
-[Hyder.]
Hmm.
She's a flight attendant.
Oh, my gosh.
This can't be happening.
This is a hidden camera show for me? You have to control yourself, man, be professional.
Remember the money.
Money.
-I'm sorry about that.
-Yeah, yeah.
I've always dreamed of dating a flight attendant.
And she's on the rebound.
Apparently, her last boyfriend was a jerk.
Hey, you wanna check that story, buddy? Uh, man, excuse him.
Excuse him.
He's suffering from a real bad breakup.
It's all right, man.
It's all right.
Because, you know what? There are plenty of fish in the sea.
Tell us more about this girl, uh You know it's not often that I get to meet a girl like this.
I want to treat her nice.
I want to invest in her, especially for the first few dates.
Hmm.
That's nice.
Hey, you guys mind stopping by this bank? I need to get some cash.
I think it's gonna be a long night.
-[both chuckling.]
-I know what you're saying.
My agent sent my pictures to Dharma Productions.
Yeah, he's really good.
Oh, my God.
That's Govinda's assistant.
Hello? Yes.
Oh.
Okay.
Thanks.
It's okay, Sneha.
You'll get the next one.
So, you know, you can't get everything.
-It's all right.
-I got it.
What? What do you mean? I got a role in a Govinda film.
Oh, okay.
That's wonderful.
That's amazing.
Okay, relax Sneha.
It's a small role, but you have to work yourself up, you know.
I got a lead.
[stammers.]
I got the lead in a Govinda film.
-Really? -[exhales deeply.]
You got the lead.
Well, how am I supposed to act? Okay, so far today, I've seen an idiot propose to a Puerto Rican girl, and now I'm giving rides to my fiancé's new boyfriend.
-Look, she's moved on already.
-Ahh! Deal with it, all right? We got some killer material we're filming here.
All right, let's remember, ten grand.
Ten grand! You know, sometimes life is not just about money, Lemont.
Look he's coming, all right? What are you gonna do? [Bhai.]
We are peanut people.
Nothing changes that.
It's in our blood.
-Got a second? -Hi, Matt.
Take a look at that.
It's all job offers I got from reputable companies.
You're leaving us? I rejected them all.
Why? Because I made a commitment to you five years ago, Hasmukh.
So what if Triboro Tech falls off? There's abundance of money in the universe.
Quantum physics tells us that.
Your mind controls everything about you.
-Hmm.
-[Joseph.]
Excuse me, Hasmukh? Joseph Shibu.
-Can we come in? -You're already in.
I just want to bring you the monthly rent.
I've been trying to reach you since last week.
See that? That's how the universe works.
When the time is right, money comes looking for you! Twenty percent.
For once in my life, I thought I was doing better than her.
She's a lead in a Govinda film, Hasmukh.
Everything just works out for some people.
Dimple, you have so much more talent than Sneha.
Please, Hasmukh.
I've heard all your comforting lines before.
I don't want to hear it anymore.
Maybe I should go back into the peanut butter business.
At least we won't have to worry about money anymore.
You really want to go back into the family business? Then we have move back into the joint family, and share a single kitchen in India.
[clicks teeth.]
That's not us, Hasmukh.
Do you really want to stay here and keep struggling? Yeah.
We're both following our dreams, Hasmukh.
You know me with my film career.
You with your computer office what, Citrus 3.
5 whatever.
God, Dimple, you're so understanding.
-I love you, Hasmukh.
-[door opens loudly.]
Hasmukh, you have still not responded to my second meeting request.
Check your Blackberry again.
-[door closes.]
-We're not going anywhere.
[Hyder.]
I guess in life, there are many roads you can take.
Some roads take you to the highway.
Others take you to some shady areas.
Some roads are bumpy and full of potholes.
Are you sure, Hasmukh? This is your final decision? Tell Pithaji I am so sorry.
But I will make him proud one day.
[laughs.]
-Take care, okay? -Okay.
I'll see you soon.
And Bhai, watch out for airport security.
-Mm-hmm? Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm.
[sniffs.]
[Hyder.]
But at the end of the day, it's not about the road we take, but where we're going.
It's about what we've learned.
How have we loved one another.
-[all laughing.]
-Appreciated their good and bad.
Mmm.
Mmm.
This is delicious, Dimple.
You didn't put peanut oil in this, did you? [gasps.]
[whispers.]
I forgot.
Sorry! [Hyder.]
And most importantly, "Have I left a path for others to follow?" Hasmukh, Citrus just tweeted the official launch of 3.
0! It's official.
We are going to dominate the industry soon! For me, that evening, I took the high road.
The road less traveled.
Samantha? If that's who you want me to be.
[giggles.]
[Hyder honks car horn.]
But sometimes it's just easier to lead the other guy down the wrong path.
[theme music.]
[chair vibrating.]
Dhansukh Bhai.
[rewinds song.]
[theme music.]
It's been, like, three weeks.
You know how many times I broke up with a girl? I snap back.

I haven't thought about her in seven days.

He's a TV producer.
What are you talking about? You talking about the TV business -or you talking about the taxi business? -Both.
He has a reality show called Taxi Confessions.
He's looking for qualified taxi drivers.

You guys doing a little partying? Yeah.
He's in town for a week, so, showing him a good time in the city.
So, uh, how do you like the city so far? [French accent.]
Oh, it's beautiful, but the woman is even more beautiful.
-[giggles.]
-Love at first sight.
He's never seen a Puerto Rican before.
God, I love Puerto Ricans.
I'm thinking about proposing.
Right here, right now? In the car? What?! Are you drunk? -Calm down.
-No, no.
This is not a joke.
-You are already engraved into my heart.
-Stop the car.
[Lemont.]
That's what I'm talking about.
All right, you guys, if you could move to the left a little bit, that'd be great.
-Will you marry me? -You are freaking me out.
I told you already, I'm not looking for a relationship.
But, baby, this is not a relationship? This is-- Okay, fine.
This is just me.
[conversation continues indistinctly.]
Damn, that would've been perfect.
I just realized they didn't pay.
I saw the design of your new DVD.
It looks like a Dhansukh poster.
-Was it too much? -Oh, no, no.
It was good, it was good.
You gotta put yourself out there.
And you've always been good at marketing yourself, yeah? I know all this fitness DVD stuff is it's great and all, I still really miss acting.
Sneha, you'll get back into it, you know, when the time is right then do it.
Can I give you a piece of advice, Sneha? You cannot worry about the things you can't change, you know? Excuse me, I know this is very weird.
My friend and I are having a bet.
Aren't you the "constipation girl"? So, Hasmukh, I reorganized your organization chart.
Uh, this white guy here, he can be our lead salesman.
This guy will be the order filler.
[speaks foreign language.]
These two can be puns.
And this girl will be our receptionist.
Look, I know what you're trying to do here.
Okay? But I'm perfectly happy with my IT company.
Technology is like fashion.
What are you going to do when this IT goes out style? Our Dadaji went against the whole family when times got tough.
Shree Ganesh himself picked him up from the forest floor and put him in his bed.
All that is nonsense.
That was all his dream.
There was no elephant, there was no forest.
It never happened.
But how did he get his scars then? [in Gujarati.]
Our grandfather got drunk and got into a ï¬ght with Jagdish Mama's cow.
He had no clue on what happened.
All that elephant story was nonsense.
He wanted to hide his drinking from grandma.
[in English.]
Think about it.
We are peanut people.
Nothing changes that.
It's in our blood.
[in Gujarati.]
Don't worry, kiddo, I will ï¬x up your life.
[in English.]
I got this hot date tonight.
-Oh, very good.
-Oh, who's the lucky girl? -Oh, her name is Samantha.
-Oh-- Wait, Samantha? -Yeah.
Beautiful girl, like a 9.
8.
-[Hyder.]
Hmm.
She's a flight attendant.
Oh, my gosh.
This can't be happening.
This is a hidden camera show for me? You have to control yourself, man, be professional.
Remember the money.
Money.
-I'm sorry about that.
-Yeah, yeah.
I've always dreamed of dating a flight attendant.
And she's on the rebound.
Apparently, her last boyfriend was a jerk.
Hey, you wanna check that story, buddy? Uh, man, excuse him.
Excuse him.
He's suffering from a real bad breakup.
It's all right, man.
It's all right.
Because, you know what? There are plenty of fish in the sea.
Tell us more about this girl, uh You know it's not often that I get to meet a girl like this.
I want to treat her nice.
I want to invest in her, especially for the first few dates.
Hmm.
That's nice.
Hey, you guys mind stopping by this bank? I need to get some cash.
I think it's gonna be a long night.
-[both chuckling.]
-I know what you're saying.
My agent sent my pictures to Dharma Productions.
Yeah, he's really good.
Oh, my God.
That's Govinda's assistant.
Hello? Yes.
Oh.
Okay.
Thanks.
It's okay, Sneha.
You'll get the next one.
So, you know, you can't get everything.
-It's all right.
-I got it.
What? What do you mean? I got a role in a Govinda film.
Oh, okay.
That's wonderful.
That's amazing.
Okay, relax Sneha.
It's a small role, but you have to work yourself up, you know.
I got a lead.
[stammers.]
I got the lead in a Govinda film.
-Really? -[exhales deeply.]
You got the lead.
Well, how am I supposed to act? Okay, so far today, I've seen an idiot propose to a Puerto Rican girl, and now I'm giving rides to my fiancé's new boyfriend.
-Look, she's moved on already.
-Ahh! Deal with it, all right? We got some killer material we're filming here.
All right, let's remember, ten grand.
Ten grand! You know, sometimes life is not just about money, Lemont.
Look he's coming, all right? What are you gonna do? [Bhai.]
We are peanut people.
Nothing changes that.
It's in our blood.
-Got a second? -Hi, Matt.
Take a look at that.
It's all job offers I got from reputable companies.
You're leaving us? I rejected them all.
Why? Because I made a commitment to you five years ago, Hasmukh.
So what if Triboro Tech falls off? There's abundance of money in the universe.
Quantum physics tells us that.
Your mind controls everything about you.
-Hmm.
-[Joseph.]
Excuse me, Hasmukh? Joseph Shibu.
-Can we come in? -You're already in.
I just want to bring you the monthly rent.
I've been trying to reach you since last week.
See that? That's how the universe works.
When the time is right, money comes looking for you! Twenty percent.
For once in my life, I thought I was doing better than her.
She's a lead in a Govinda film, Hasmukh.
Everything just works out for some people.
Dimple, you have so much more talent than Sneha.
Please, Hasmukh.
I've heard all your comforting lines before.
I don't want to hear it anymore.
Maybe I should go back into the peanut butter business.
At least we won't have to worry about money anymore.
You really want to go back into the family business? Then we have move back into the joint family, and share a single kitchen in India.
[clicks teeth.]
That's not us, Hasmukh.
Do you really want to stay here and keep struggling? Yeah.
We're both following our dreams, Hasmukh.
You know me with my film career.
You with your computer office what, Citrus 3.
5 whatever.
God, Dimple, you're so understanding.
-I love you, Hasmukh.
-[door opens loudly.]
Hasmukh, you have still not responded to my second meeting request.
Check your Blackberry again.
-[door closes.]
-We're not going anywhere.
[Hyder.]
I guess in life, there are many roads you can take.
Some roads take you to the highway.
Others take you to some shady areas.
Some roads are bumpy and full of potholes.
Are you sure, Hasmukh? This is your final decision? Tell Pithaji I am so sorry.
But I will make him proud one day.
[laughs.]
-Take care, okay? -Okay.
I'll see you soon.
And Bhai, watch out for airport security.
-Mm-hmm? Mm-hmm.
-Mm-hmm.
[sniffs.]
[Hyder.]
But at the end of the day, it's not about the road we take, but where we're going.
It's about what we've learned.
How have we loved one another.
-[all laughing.]
-Appreciated their good and bad.
Mmm.
Mmm.
This is delicious, Dimple.
You didn't put peanut oil in this, did you? [gasps.]
[whispers.]
I forgot.
Sorry! [Hyder.]
And most importantly, "Have I left a path for others to follow?" Hasmukh, Citrus just tweeted the official launch of 3.
0! It's official.
We are going to dominate the industry soon! For me, that evening, I took the high road.
The road less traveled.
Samantha? If that's who you want me to be.
[giggles.]
[Hyder honks car horn.]
But sometimes it's just easier to lead the other guy down the wrong path.
[theme music.]
