[chanting the Hanuman Chalisa prayer]

Hail Lord Rama!

Hail Hanuman!

Stand in queue...

one behind the other.

Praise the Lord.

Yes, how many of you?

Stand in queue as per your delivery date.

...nine months pregnant, come forward.

Behind her stand... eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two and one.

And women who are trying to get pregnant,

eat tikkis first, you'll be served golgappas later.

I'm due in two weeks, serve me quickly.

How many times does the baby move?

Three or four times.

Get admitted in the hospital by day after.

You'll deliver in the next four days.

Here you go.

Lala, will eating these golgappas guarantee a son?

What do you want?

For a mere 25 rupees,

you want golgappas and a certificate too!

If the government can't give you a guarantee...

nor can ministers, doctors and engineers...

You want a golgappa-seller to give you guarantee?

- Gaffar... - Yes?

- Take his bowl away. - Give it back.

I'm just confirming...

Go stand right at the back.

Get lost.

You mean, it may not be a boy?

Come on, I'd heard so much about you, Lala.

I just satisfy the cravings of pregnant women like my forefathers did.

I don't grant boys... God does.

Aunty, eat this with faith, you'll have a son.

Even this 70 year-old board says -

'Eat chaat here and a son will be born'.

You need to believe.

- Come forward. - Please stand aside.

Seven months pregnant women come forward.

You can't park here, mister.

Drop the lady off here... park your scooter over there.

Durga didi is calling.

Yes?

What? The boy's family has arrived?

So early?

Weren't they supposed to come in the afternoon?

Okay... make them comfortable...

Yes, I'm wearing my slippers.

No... listen...

Let the guests eat the samosas

Don't eat them yourself! Take it.

- Manage the shop. - Sure.

We haven't eaten yet, Lala...

Madam, the golgappas ensure a son.

I don't...

He will serve you golgappas.

But I'll have a boy, right?

We're all after boys...

you want one and I want four!

Take this. Serve them.

Don't forget to take money.

Satinder, give me a kurta.

I'm sure this boy will be a good match, brother.

I hope so.

Lala... take some sweets with you.

And milk?

Don't need it today.

- I'll pay you later. - No problem.

Make way...

Lala, the boy's family is here.

- You better hurry. - Lala... listen....

Laxmi took some gram flour.

Adjust from my rent or pay me now?

You pay a measly 275 rupees and

you want to deduct 25 rupees from that too!

Why even bother with the 250!

Lala, return my mother's bangles.

Get lost, you rascal!

I refuse to pay you any money.

Your son takes all the bottles of cold water from my house.

There... I've adjusted your money. Get lost.

Paying a measly 275 rupees

and you want the world at your feet!

Brother-in-law is here.

Go take a bath, boy.

Madam Durga...

Doesn't any brand sell clothes your size?

Brother...

Are you wearing a child's t-shirt?

This has shrunk after a wash!

Give this to me.

Why don't you shrink too, after a bath?

Geeta, take this.

Move.

Please wear something that glows in the dark, Laxmi.

Hello... I'm not that dark-skinned!

And don't smile in the dark...

only your teeth will be visible!

Oh, sorry...

I'm so sorry, Uncle.

Our neighborhood is so crowded,

couldn't get here sooner...

- I'm sorry, Aunty. - No problem.

I'm sorry.

What is this behavior, Lala?

Already making the groom's family wait?

Please excuse me, Aunty.

Thankfully, so many pregnant women,

- wait at my shop every morning... - At your shop?

It's more like I'm running a hospital.

Will eating golgappas at your shop

guarantee a son?

I only promise a son but in my grandfather's times

all boys grew up to be officers too.

Gayatri...

Please serve them tea.

Neeraj was born after eating golgappas served by your father.

I see...

I can see that...

boys born after eating at our shop stand out.

Is that your younger brother? The one wearing a jacket.

No. She is my youngest sister,

- Saraswati. - Oh.

- Do you watch action films? - No.

She does, that's why she's like this.

Come here...

All my sisters are named after goddesses, Uncle.

But I swear on my dead mother,

she's the most dutiful one.

The most obedient one.

You can keep the tray.

Excuse me.

Yes... okay.

Brother, Saharanpur has lifted the milestone!

- They're offering 12. - 12?

- They're offering 12. - Who is he?

My brother-in-law.

Wow, they're offering 12.

But when I spoke to the priest, he said 11.

12... okay, fine...

I don't have a problem.

No problem!

- Put the tray down. - Hold! Hold!

Yes... okay.

The milestone has been lifted again.

They're offering 14 now, plus a honeymoon package via Vaishno Devi.

Hail the goddess!

But...We had agreed upon 11, then 12...

and now 14?

Okay, Mr. Gupta... I agree to 14.

There goes my college fee.

...no more, please.

- Put the tray down. - One minute...

the milestone...

I'll break your head with that milestone!

Enough!

14.25...

That's it! Final!

It's decided! Put the tray down.

Wait a minute.

16 is the new milestone.

Brother...

Keep quiet, you rascal.

I'll give you a few thousand...

stop talking.

- Put the tray down, Gayatri. - One minute...

The Saharanpur party is offering me 1 lakh, plus a tuxedo.

Mr Gupta, let's seal the deal at 16 lakhs (hundred thousand).

16, final!

- Put the tray-- - 17.

Shut up, you rascal!

I'd have to rob a bank to get 17 lakhs, Mr. Gupta.

I would've managed for one sister but I have four!

Mr. Kedarnath...

I paid dowry for my daughter,

hence I want dowry for my son.

We have a long day ahead... let's go.

They don't have any money!

- Let's go. - Let's go.

Bye.

You!

Let go of my samosa

Let go.

Take a video of this.

I won't let you have it.

Take this. Eat it! You too!

Eat it! You too!

You witch! Mummy...

I won't give it.

Witch!

My samosa!

Promise me, Kedarnath...

till you get your four sisters married...

you won't get married.

Promise me.

I promise you...

Only after getting my four sisters married...

will I think of getting married.

Papa, please...

Why are you being so petty?

Kedara would've told us had the match had been finalized.

- No. I want to humiliate him. - What?

I want to insult him in front of everyone.

He should know what it's like to be burdened with a young daughter!

'Burden'?

Are you saying I'm a burden, Papa?

You're not a burden to me, child. I worry about your marriage.

Tell me...

how long will you wait for this guy?

First he'll marry off ALL his sisters...

and only then he'll marry you!

This dutiful son is honoring his promise to his mother...

but I'm the one paying a price for it!

How long will I have to wait to get my daughter married?

I'm not that old...

You're not, but he is.

How long will he go around pretending to be young?

We'll have to come to a decision!

I'll decide who gets the samosa.

I'm the eldest--

Kedarnath!

Here comes Sapna's father, enjoy!

Kedarnath, come out.

It hasn't even been 10 minutes since they left...

who informs him?

Where are you, Kedara?

Saraswati...

tell him I've left.

Tell him...

Don't say that I've gone to the shop,

else he'll land up there.

- Don't tell him. - Kedarnath!

Namaste, Uncle. Namaste, sister-in-law.

Let her become your sister-in-law before

you call her that.

Did you finalize Gayatri's wedding?

What did the boy's family say?

They left within 15-20 minutes.

They were asking for 17 lakhs.

See. I told you so.

Tell me...

where's your dear brother?

He has... gone to the bank!

Look at how that rascal has taught this poor child to lie.

What does he even have in that bank, to withdraw from?

- Papa. - Be quiet.

Tell me the truth. Where's your brother?

It's the truth... he has left.

He left right after the boy's family did.

- Go... - Rascal...

Witch!

...building a nest here.

Where do you think you're running away like a fugitive?

Who's running away?

I'm going to the doctor.

I have a blister right here.

Saraswati said you've gone to the bank.

I had gone to the bank to withdraw money

to pay the doctor's fees.

Then what are you doing up there?

There's a nest here with a crippled duck...

I was feeding it.

You're such a liar.

Have a conscience.

You couldn't finalize Gayatri's marriage...

all four of your sisters are unmarried...

when will you get them married?

When will I get my daughter married?

Just see...

how rudely your father is talking.

See for yourself.

What?

What was so rude, Kedarnath -

'Have a conscience'? 'Gayatri's marriage'?

Talk of our marriage or of having a young daughter?

Tell me. What was so rude?

Are you on his side now?

Don't you earn enough feeding golgappas to all...

pregnant women?

Can't you afford a 17 lakh dowry for your sister?

You think you'll take this money with you after you die?

What money are you talking about?

I pay 15 lakhs to the bank every month.

You think I'm running away?

If Sapna wasn't my childhood sweetheart,

I would've run away by now.

Really?

Really?! Come on.

Why don't you tell your father about the EMI's that I pay?

- EMI for what? - 'EMI for what'?!

He is asking me about my EMIs. Please tell him...

Everyone in Chandni Chowk knows, Harishankar.

During World War II, Lala's grandfather had a contract

- to supply chickpeas to the Germans. - Hear him...

and he'd taken a loan of 20 lakhs from the bank...

Lala is still paying off the loan.

If his grandfather hadn't been cheated by Hitler...

his family would've owned this entire neighborhood.

'Chickpeas'? And who is Hitler?

'Who is Hitler'? The very same German Hitler!

The one who stands like this!

The very same Hitler.

He's the reason your daughter is still unmarried.

Hitler is dead but I'm still alive...

I'm retiring in eight months...

...and I want her settled before that.

You have six months...

Marry her or I'll marry her off to someone else.

And you can forget about your sweetheart.

Idiot. Let's go.

Hitler my foot!

Come.

Let's go.

And what about my promise to my mother?

Fulfill it. You don't have much time...

get all four sisters married and then marry Sapna.

Take some money to get your blister treated.

...talking about Hitler.

36 thousand in July... 34 thousand in August.

Nothing in September?

We only get what is destined, Brother.

Mine... that of my sisters...

and your destiny too is to be blamed for this.

Come here...

Sit.

Your destiny is not to blame.

My ledgers are to blame for this.

You're my pride.

It's these boys who are unlucky, not you.

How will you manage, Brother?

Even if you manage to put together my dowry...

you still have three more to take care of.

Do you know what Ma would say?

She'd say - Lord Mahadev takes care of all daughters.

He will provide for us.

Why do you worry?

Silly girl...

There's no love like this...

There's no love like this...

There's no jealousy like this!

If a sister asks her brother for something...

He'd take a life...

Not 'take a life' he'd give up his life.

There's no love like this...

Praise the Lord...

Praise the Almighty.

...there's more stuff.

I like the boy.

Go. Come next week.

But... why?

I know of boys like him...

they get famous on TikTok. I'll get you married to him.

He's a scrap dealer!

He'd come to pay for the cupboard.

Fine, get me married to him...

Coloring his hair and fooling everyone...

- Give me 500 rupees, Brother. - Why?

Did you lend it to me?

I have to go to college.

Do you have to pay to enter the college?

I'll take a taxi...

Take a bus.

No way. I'll take a taxi.

Else everyone will know that I come from a lower middle class family.

I'll drop you off.

No, I want to take a taxi.

Brother... drop me to my tuition class on the way.

Wait...

drop me to my dance class too.

Let's go.

You're always asking me for money.

I need to buy laboratory stuff for my Chemistry practical.

Why do you need to buy them? Steal them.

Watch out!

You want your sister to steal?

Sister? You're witches. All of you.

And I want you to become robbers.

Wow... Where are you going?

She looked at me.

Crazy boys.

Fine, they're whistling at you two.

I wish I was in that jeep.

Keep quiet.

What's wrong?

Get off.

But why?

- Get off, I need to do something important. - But...

Take 500 rupees and take a taxi.

- Go. - I can't believe this.

Take a taxi.

Be careful.

Auto.

- Whistling at girls?! - Hey...

- But... - I just whistled, what was so wrong?

Grab him. Don't let him go!

I just called a fat girl Fatty...

I'll call your mother Fatty. Will you like it?

Feel the heat?

It's hot.

Should've told me!

Lala...

Let me go.

Let go of me.

- Move. - He will die.

Get lost!

Forget it, Lala.

Will you kill him for such a small thing?

'Small thing'?

'Small thing'?

Do you really think it's a 'small thing'?

Move it to the center of the road.

Wait, let me get up!

Move this!

Wait! Stop.

People of Chandni Chowk, listen

...to three things.

Pay attention.

First...

four-wheelers aren't allowed to enter Chandni Chowk.

Second...

all boys in Delhi will have to control themselves.

Else, I'll thrash them.

I'll beat the living daylight out of them.

Third...

if any boy harasses a girl,

he will have to marry her.

- Well said, Lala. - Get it?

I will make sure he marries her.

Get it?

They think they'll catcall and get away with it!

Where's my slipper?

Tastes okay. Add more lemon juice.

I like it. One more, brother-in-law.

Come on, really?

You've already eaten a lot. These golgappas are very spicy,

you'll have a tough time tomorrow morning.

Leave.

- Kedara... - What?

You didn't stand up to your father for me yesterday.

What could I have said? Papa was right.

What was he so right about?

He is retiring in eight months.

Focus on your precious sisters...

never mind me!

Lala...

Move aside...

- Lala. - What is it?

Here is your invitation card.

Invitation?

Chandramukhi is getting married next week.

Please come to the party tomorrow...

bring only one sister along.

Chandramukhi is getting married?

Yes.

Hear that?

Chandramukhi is getting married.

Who is she getting married to?

A boy, of course.

He is a government clerk.

Is he a normal, regular guy?

Yes.

- A widower? - No.

It's his first marriage.

Dowry?

Not much.

Who is the matchmaker?

There's a wedding manager, Ms. Shaanu.

She can find a match for any girl,

at a nominal cost.

The lady who runs Saubhagyashaali Wedding?

Yes, her.

With the tagline - 'Your daughter, my headache'?

Correct.

- Do you know of her? - Of course.

She has called us so many times to cater at weddings.

- And what did you say? - I refused.

We don't have time for all this, Lala!

Such an intelligent boy.

Listen... hand me my slippers.

I told her, we don't cater at weddings...

it's through us that the Lord blesses pregnant women.

Where to?

Idiot...You've kept me from meeting this amazing lady!

Did you forget? We have four sisters...

Sapna, we have to meet this lady tomorrow and take her help.

Okay?

What is it?

When you looked at me

I fell in love

I fell madly in love

Sapna...

this Undertaker

is Chandramukhi.

If Ms. Shaanu can find a match for her,

she'll find someone for my sisters as well.

Gaffar deserved a thrashing.

Ms. Chandramukhi...

where's your father?

I think that's Ms. Shaanu.

Madam, I am Lala Kedarnath Agarwal.

Take this.

She is my fianc*e...

And... She is Sapna.

We've come from very far, with a request.

I have a shop nearby - 'Premlata Chaat Bhandar'.

But you said you've come from far.

Actually, the shop is nearby...

But the request is a far-fetched one.

What's the name of your shop?

'Premlata Chaat Bhandar'

Oh, I see...

- you're that pompous Kedarnath. - No, ma'am.

How could he possibly be pompous with four unmarried sisters...

There's a stupid boy who works at the shop,

he didn't recognize you.

We'll set up a stall wherever you want.

Isn't it, Kedara?

I have four sisters...

I can't get married until they do.

If I don't get married, nor can she.

Correct.

All our lives will get ruined.

See...

Later, child.

It's not a big deal for you.

- I need four grooms. - Move aside.

Please see if you could help...

nothing too expensive...

Wait...

- I'll try. - Please, listen...

Hold her.

Kids, be careful!

- Listen... - Yes?

Are you free tomorrow evening?

Er... I'll work something out.

I'm not asking you out on a date only to cater at an event.

Of course, I can...

Send me the address, I'll be there.

Bring your sisters with you.

Sure.

Good night.

I won't give you money.

Do you want an ice cream?

Hello?

- Have you reached? - Yes, we're at the entrance.

Why can't I see you?

- Where? - There he is.

Yes. Come here.

Take a look at them.

Why are you three dressed like this?

Why? Don't we look good?

'Look good'? Rubbish. She's looking like a clown.

Go, stand with those clowns over there.

And you... why are you wearing a chessboard?

Go, stand in that corner.

Your multi-colored dress...

looks like someone has spat on it!

Come on, we're looking good.

Why don't you introduce us to Ms. Shaanu.

You want to meet Ms. Shaanu?

Want to ruin her business?

Silly girl...

Go, make yourselves scarce.

Gayatri, come with me.

You too, Sapna.

My son had told you, he wants an expensive car.

Why are you arguing about this now?

You're absolutely right.

It's a national holiday today,

that's why the car wasn't delivered today.

But I've already booked the car,

sent you the papers as well.

Just hear his excuse...

Since Mr. Uppal has sent us the papers,

he's suggesting...

we make a paper boat with those papers...

and take our son home in that!

Mr. Uppal, after all... a deal is a deal.

Papa, I've told my friends

I'll bring my wife home in an expensive car!

Sir, listen to me.

This man is requesting you with folded hands...

it's a national holiday, the car showroom is closed today,

You'll get your car tomorrow!

Really...

you're being too greedy.

What did you just say?

Greedy? Are you calling me greedy?

No, sir. She didn't mean it like that.

I don't care, Mr. Uppal.

Gaffar, that man who'd come with sweets...

after having a son...

- Doesn't he own Rastogi Trading? - Yes...

call him.

Now?

Either get the car right now or

get this woman to apologize!

Really?

Mr. Rastogi, thank you for helping us at this hour.

The money...

Take the car... we'll discuss this later.

- Thank you so much. - No need to thank me.

After three daughters...

thanks to your golgappas, I finally have an heir.

Take the keys... go.

Let them call off the wedding.

My name is Shaanu. I don't apologize to anyone

and definitely not to them.

Please, Ms. Shaanu... apologize to them.

Else they'll call off the wedding.

Why are you so worried?

Let them leave.

I'll find other grooms for your daughter.

Don't worry, I'll do something.

Let's leave!

Angad, bro...

Here's your brand new car.

Look, the car is here!

It's yours! Take it away.

Here's the duplicate key.

- God bless you! - Never mind.

Let the celebrations begin!

Ms. Shaanu, I am always there to help you.

You don't need to apologize to them.

They wanted a car, they've got it

...look at those fools dance.

Thank you.

Well done, Lala.

Here you put in so much effort

all I get are excuses.

I'm not even asking for a car.

Gift me a bangle and I'm yours.

I've given you my heart

My love.

More precious than my life

Is your acceptance of my love

Like a silken thread...

I will gift you a ruby bangle, my love

I will gift you a ruby bangle, my love

Your beautiful smile

Makes me fall in love with you

You are what I desire

Say you'll be mine

Like a silken thread...

I will gift you a ruby bangle, my love

You bring love and light

Wherever you go

You spread beauty

All around

I can lay down my life for you

You are magic

I can lay down my life for you

You are my true love

I declare to the world

You are my destiny

Like a silken thread...

I will gift you a ruby bangle, my love

I will gift you a ruby bangle, my love

That's dog food.

Ms. Shaanu, I have four sisters to wed...

I deserve a discount.

Come on...

I've already given you a discount.

20 lakhs include the dowry and my commission.

20 lakhs per wedding is too much.

With the variety that you've brought...

this gangster-girl...

this pitch-dark one...

this double-decker...

I deserve twice the commission.

Consider this...

20 lakhs per girl...

adds up to a total of 80 lakhs.

I'll need another 10 lakhs for the wedding arrangements--

Fine.

I'll work something out.

I'll get her married first for 18 lakhs.

Alright?

But you'll have to work on the others.

Stop her from eating.

Stop her from going out in the sun.

And this one... Van Damme...

We'll have to turn her into 'Damn Hot'.

Sorry.

- Sapna? - Yes.

- Aren't you Harishankar's daughter? - Yes.

Why are you wasting your time here?

Go and get ready...

there's a boy coming to meet you in two days.

I've arranged the match.

What?

I'm the boy she's marrying.

She pesters me to marry her.

Who asked you to find a match for her?

Her father did.

He wants her to get married before he retires.

He has already paid my fees.

- Oh, she's an unfaithful one! - Oh, she's an unfaithful one!

- She didn't really love you - She didn't really love you

Keep quiet!

...I can save 15 lakhs.

It adds up to 60 lakhs...

Stop mumbling to yourself, Lala.

Look at these account books.

See if you've inherited...

a house, shop or even a brothel

that you can sell.

'Brothel'?

This is an antique chair, sister-in-law.

Should sell for five thousand.

If I sell you along with this chair,

it'll still not sell for five thousand!

- This fool wants to sell a chair! - One minute...

Why would my ancestors buy a brothel?

Lala, sell these too!

You...

Get lost!

Sister-in-law...

we'll get two thousand at least for this.

Keep it back!

I got this tailored for him to wear at our wedding.

How dare you touch it!

It's been eight years already.

It's an antique now...

sell it.

You know what, Lala...

your sisters don't want us to get married.

What do you want?

Want me to wear this? Fine.

I'll wear this sherwani. Happy?

Wear this and sit at home for the next 20 years.

I don't care.

Tell me, when are we getting married?

As soon as my sisters get married, so will we.

Getting these girls married?!

These girls?

All the girls in the city will get married but not them

not them

because they don't want to get married!

Don't say that, Sapna.

They're my sisters not strangers.

you're only concerned about your sisters.

I've been waiting to marry you since we were kids...

but you're only concerned about your sisters.

Sapna... don't cry.

Go away.

She'll go on a diet from tomorrow.

You'll eat just one leaf from tomorrow.

One leaf!

Laxmi, you'll marinate yourself in fairness cream!

Get it? I'll make sure she becomes fair-skinned.

And... this girl is perfect!

And she'll be a child-bride!

Happy? Please don't cry.

Excuse me, Mr. Lala...

I love my body.

Big is beautiful.

I love the color of my skin.

Black is back!

Mark my words, Lala.

These girls don't want to get married.

They only want to pout and take photos for Instagram.

What gram?

Irritating man!

You just stand here

and do nothing!

We can't get married because of these witches.

I'll go and marry that other boy.

I'll agree to marry him.

You carry on with this nonsense.

Sapna...

Let go!

Sapna!

Are you happy now, you witches?

Happy now?

Got what you wanted?

Lala, what will we get for this?

Shit. Want to eat it?

Who eats shit?

You... sell me instead!

Just see.

We won't get anything if we sell you...

selling your kidney might fetch a few hundred--

Shut up!

It's just a suggestion.

Lala... wait up.

Stop laughing, all of you.

This is a serious matter.

We'll have to handle Sapna's problem...

I'll take the lead now.

Get it?

Sir...

please have some snacks.

You haven't eaten any...

- try some, they're delicious. - Sure.

Mr. Harishankar,

I see you're serving snacks to your guests.

Send some over to us as well.

Sapna is our sister-in-law after all!

Namaste, sister-in-law.

I'm here, you dog.

So?

This is not enough.

Exactly, this is not enough.

Lala, go and speak to the people you're paying the EMIs to...

the bank.

Ask them to either forego the money

or to lend you some more.

Sit.

These girls are a nuisance.

She's not their sister-in-law.

Lala and she are childhood friends. Friends!

Sure! I've seen them play 'doctor-patient' as kids.

She's lying.

Harishankar, a man and a woman can never be friends.

It's a facade...

for what goes on in their pulsating bodies on hot, steamy nights.

What rubbish are you saying?

- 'Pulsating bodies'? - 'Hot, steamy nights'?

What rubbish.

This is a line from a film, sir.

- I'll give you a tight slap! - Really?

Please do something, Mr. Dua.

If you can't give me a loan,

pause the repayment of the old one for some time.

Come on, Lala.

It's not possible.

Tell you what.

You should run away.

Go and start your life afresh.

You think he'll help if you're so casual?

Rubbish.

Look sad, broken from inside...

like a dead man.

Yes. Like this!

And add some... tears.

What is she doing?

If you marry our sister-in-law, take our brother along too.

He'll sleep between these two.

If you separate childhood lovers,

you'll burn in hell, you rascal.

What nonsense!

Do you even realize what you're saying?

Kedara, only if your mortgage your shop

can I give you money.

I can't give you any money for this.

Leave.

Keep this back.

Get anything?

Nothing. It didn't work.

How insulting!

It's not what you think...

- Let's go. - Mr. Dinanath...

- So insulting... - Madam...

Move.

What have you done?!

Just wait and watch what I do.

Get lost, Harishankar. I don't care.

I'll teach them a lesson.

- Forget it, Papa. - The entire family is crazy.

You were awesome!

What was that?

Our Gayatri is unstoppable.

Nobody tell Brother about this.

Hurry up, let's go home.

[singing devotional songs]

Gaffar, what're you waiting for?

Get the yoghurt.

Hello...

do you have any idea how much this guy makes

by singing at these gatherings?

How much?

One lakh.

- One lakh? - That too in five hours.

How much do we make, serving chaat to hundreds of people?

Only 20 thousand. Think about it, Lala.

Don't waste your time.

Brother...

Your work is done.

We drove that boy's family away.

The ones who'd come to meet Sapna.

Come on, smile.

If you serve chaat with this expression,

they'll surely fall sick.

Don't worry, Brother.

They will work hard on themselves to get married.

Durga goes on a diet from tomorrow.

We'll try and improve her complexion...

and we'll fix her somehow.

You just relax.

As for me, I love my body...

but I'll do it for you.

Let's eat golagappas to celebrate.

[singing devotional songs]

Get ready, Gaffar.

We'll serve them chaat and entertain them as well.

Morning and evening

I sing your praises

Morning and evening

I sing your praises

Please answer my prayers

Please answer my prayers

Please answer my prayers

Dowry is a social crime.

It is the bane of every woman's life.

And it is because of this custom,

- people aren't happy at the birth of a daughter - Be quiet...

while the birth of a son is celebrated.

This is why daughters are neglected...

Who is this woman?

Why isn't she letting me sleep?

Is she crazy?

- ...they're seen as a burden. - Lala, she's here every month...

- ...second Monday of every month. - From the moment she's born,

- ...her father is burdened with. - with the same anti-dowry speech.

Both, taking dowry and giving dowry is a crime.

I've explained this to you earlier but

I've found out, dowry was given in Chandramukhi's wedding.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

We have to stop this custom.

Well said, madam.

Do you have children, madam?

- I do. - How many?

- Two. - Boys? Or girls?

Two girls.

Two girls, that's why

you're against the custom of giving dowry.

If you had two boys...

your opinion would've been different.

Of course a girl's mother will say that giving dowry is bad.

If it was a boy's mother saying this,

I'd take it seriously. Am I right?

I have four sisters, madam.

I'm breaking my back for their dowry.

We haven't started this custom anyway.

It's been going on for generations

that's why we're continuing with it.

Shouldn't this change?

Who will bring about the change?

You? With your speeches here?

This is Chandni Chowk, madam.

Chandni Chowk. A mini India.

Every house here has a daughter whose dowry is falling short.

But hoping to give them a lavish wedding their families slave away.

Now you want them to be ashamed of their hard work?

Madam, every man standing here...

is working tirelessly

so that he can give his daughter a lavish wedding.

You want us to be ashamed of this?

We won't.

We love our sisters and daughters dearly.

We can lay down our lives for them.

See how much I've managed to put together...

a flat-screen TV, washing machine,

microwave, cupboard, sofa, double-bed--

Lala...

it's Shaanu.

- Hello... - Hello, Lala?

What are you doing? Do it properly.

I want to speak to you.

Reach my office in ten minutes.

I'll be there soon.

What happened?

Are you sleepy?

Welcome, Lala.

Your sister is getting married on the 27th of next month.

Start the wedding preparations.

My sister?

Bless you.

Thank you so much.

The bride was all bedecked

The bride will be bedecked

Hiding his tears, your brother will smile

And see you off, and say

I am there with you

I am there with you

I am there with you

I am there with you

You're getting married.

Toys of our childhood call out to you

Let's play with them once again

Let's relive those moments

Of carefree days gone by

Those cold, wintry nights

Those carefree days

When fights were short-lived

So were our arguments

It seems just like yesterday

Why did we even grow up?

Let's relive those days of innocence

Let's search for those days gone by

I am there with you

I am there with you

We were young and carefree

Our childhood games seemed so real

There was no difference between us

And we smiled and cried together

Let us draw pictures once again

Those pictures we drew as children"

I will run and you catch me

I will put up a swing just for you

I am there for you

I am there for you

I am there for you

I am there for you

Cry... let it out.

You've finally done it.

See these cards and tell me which one you like.

What are you doing, Papa?

Showing him samples of your wedding invitation.

- Why? - He couldn't select you...

let him select the card at least.

This isn't the time or place for this, Uncle.

This is the time!

This is the time!

Did they see the time, when they humiliated me?

In front of everyone,

they were screaming from across the road

and insulting me.

Was it the right place,

to humiliate me like that?

- Come on! - Kedarnath,

you've just got one sister married.

You have three more to go.

What should I do with her?

Should she remain unmarried?

I've found a groom for her.

I've saved enough for her dowry.

Nothing can stop me now.

But you'd given us five months.

Yes, I had.

Now I take it back!

What can you do?

What can you do about it?

- God is witness to this, Uncle. - Really?

You're breaking your promise.

Look at Lala, he's working tirelessly

so that he can keep his promise.

And you're being so unreasonable.

What promise are you talking about?

Just like he adopted an orphan like you

so did their mother... adopt him.

- He acts like he's their real brother. - Please...

You say he promised his dying mother...

but she wasn't his mother.

And that man whose photo is displayed in the shop...

was not his father.

He was a homeless child, picked up from the streets

and brought home, to do housework.

Now he thinks he's the son of the family.

He's just a servant who'd been taken in.

And now he thinks he's the heir of the family.

Hey! Harishankar!

Keep quiet!

How dare you!

I called up the Municipal Corporation... they've still not picked up the body!

Let us cremate her.

Please don't cry.

Please stop.

I'll set fire to Chandni Chowk

if you take Harishankar's words to heart.

We take a year to learn how to talk...

but it takes a lifetime to know what to say.

Why are you feeling sad about what Harishankar said?

He doesn't know how much we love you.

Brother, friend, father...

you're all of these for us, Brother.

Don't cry.

I was a beggar on the streets...

You might have forgotten about it

but how did I not remember that?

How could I forget it?

Brother, sons abandon their own parents

but you...have always honored our parents.

Stop crying, please.

Okay, I say shut up now.

This is the first wedding in the family...

no one should cry.

Let's come up with a plan

on how to deal with Harishankar.

Else he'll get Sapna married off to someone else.

Go, talk to Ms. Shaanu

and find grooms for them.

Wipe your nose.

I'll figure something.

I can't get my sisters married to boys who stammer.

I know I'm desperate,

I don't have money and I'm in a hurry...

My sisters may not be perfect but

I can't get them married to these boys.

They're a rich family.

They own a ghee dealership.

They also own a lot of land.

But these boys have a stammering problem!

How would it feel,

if the husband takes ages to call his wife?

What is your problem?

Your sisters won't give them a chance to speak anyway.

Think it over...

They're twin boys,

and the family wants them to marry sisters so that,

the family stays together.

You have everything to gain here.

You'll get Durga and Laxmi married off together.

Two weddings at the cost of one.

And what about my promise to my mother?

She'll slap me when I meet her in heaven.

Decide what you want to do.

This deal is valid only for today.

It won't be long before these boys find girls to marry.

- Get them married to other girls. - Think about it.

I won't get my sisters married to these boys!

- Sure? - Sure.

- Get them married elsewhere. - Think about it...

There's nothing to think about.

I refuse...

I flatly refused.

I may be in a hurry

but I won't get them married to random boys.

- You did the right thing, Brother. - Bye.

We won't get them married to these boys.

- Are you okay, Brother? - Yes, I'm fine.

- How are you? - I'm absolutely fine, Brother.

- Sure? - Yes.

- My girl... - Brother...

I'll call you back.

...everything is decided.

- The priest will tell us. - Hurry up.

...what to do.

Sapna... Swapnil, come.

Come here.

How did you like Chandni Chowk?

Very nice.

Good.

Panditji, you were saying...

Their horoscopes match.

That's good news.

Great.

Sapna and Swapnil, their names sound good together.

Like Jack and Jill...

And who are you?

I... am her friend.

Panditji, please find us the earliest possible auspicious date.

How about the first Friday of next month?

Perfect.

No way. It's not a favorable date...

next month is inauspicious in the Hindu calendar.

They shouldn't get married next month.

How do you know so much about astrology, madam?

Because I embody the divine feminine!

There's no auspicious date for the next four months.

I am the divine feminine.

- Mumtaz, listen to me... - But...

Come into the kitchen, I want to talk to you.

- No, I don't want to. - Sapna...

Let go of my hand.

What are you doing?

Listen to me, Mr. Harishankar...

Have you lost your mind?

You can't just walk into someone's house dressed like this?

I beg you, please give me some time.

I've given you ten years already.

Sir, Panditji is saying--

Don't you see she can't show her face to strangers?

- Please leave. - Listen...

Lala, I request you not to do this.

I'll go and fix the earliest date possible.

You have 25 seconds to talk to each other.

Let her get on with her life, you rascal.

Talk some sense into your father.

I will pray to god,

to make you Sapna, and me Lala Kedarnath in our next life.

You should also wait...

you should know what it feels like to have prayers go unanswered...

you should know how it feels to beg and plead with the gods...

How do you sleep peacefully, Lala?

Father told the girl to take the boy around Chandni Chowk...

she agreed to it with a smile.

If her lover asks her to wait... she'll agree to it with a smile.

A girl is not a person.

She's like chewing gum...

pulled by her father and lover in opposite directions.

I must've eloped with your wife in our past life,

that's why you're hurting me.

I don't want to hurt your feelings...

The second Monday of next month

is a very auspicious day, Mr. Shukla.

Give him a few more months, Papa.

You'll give me away anyway

wait a few more months before you do.

Uncle...

Sapna is not under any kind of pressure, right?

Stop talking like a feminist.

I'm dealing with so much already...

eat samosas.

We should be ashamed of ourselves, Gayatri...

people who stammer are human after all...

they're god's children too.

- It-- - Yes, it's very hot today...

- It-- - It will be winter soon.

Another month... and it'll be winter.

Go--

Gautam Buddha was a holy man.

He was knowledgeable, a good man.

- So-- - Subhash Chowk is very crowded, yes.

Which road did you take?

- We took the road around it. - Oh, I see.

- Brother... - Yes?

Let them speak. Why do you keep interrupting?

She's saying, 'let them speak...'

they're the ones doing all the talking!

They're the ones asking questions.

- Your-- - Here, eat this.

You should eat one too. Eat it.

They should get a chance to speak in private.

Isn't it?

In private? Why?

Then can talk here, with everyone present...

Brother, we want to!

Give me a minute. Let me talk to her in private.

Why didn't you find a boy, then?

I've got these two, you have to talk in front of me.

-- Please come... - No.

- Hey! - Let's go.

This is wrong.

- Hey! - Keep quiet.

What do they need to discuss that's so private?

You get great food in Old Delhi.

But...

Everything is so delicious.

Have this as well...

- No. - Eat it all!

So you're working in your father's company.

This way, madam... Don't say a word, boy.

Wait a minute.

Hurry up, you're too slow.

Tell me, is he Bulli or Gulli?

This is Bulli and that is Gulli.

Oh, so he is Bulli.

It would've been a mix up...

Bulli, you go there and Gulli, you come here.

You should speak to the right girl.

He is Bulli, your dream boy.

Talk to her, Bulli.

Mister, this is Gulli. And that is Bulli.

Will you please leave?

I'll explain...

We'll figure out who is Bulli and who is Gulli.

- Fine. - Listen, Brother...

Let their mother come too...

She will... please leave. Go!

Fine.

They're young, madam...

what if they get too close?

- What are you doing? - Forget it.

You stay with your husband and entertain him, I'll be right back.

Stop eating so much.

Gulli... I have bad news.

Your father has chest pain after eating 17 samosas.

- And now he's feeling sick. - But...

Let us talk for five minutes at least.

- You should take him to a doctor nearby. - ...tell him something.

...the nurses are very pretty, he'll like it there.

Come with me.

- What's wrong with you? - Let go of him.

- What happened? - Doesn't matter what happened...

Lala...

you can ask him in the car.

Don't waste any time.

Start the car. Hurry up.

Hurry up, madam.

Sit inside. Quick.

Don't wear a sari next time you come.

- What? - You should wear jeans.

Sit inside. Come on.

Get in the car, quick!

Press the chest...

not yours, his!

Let's go!

Move aside.

Gulli, drive...

Hurry up.

Bye, madam.

Let them pass.

Excellent!

Such a lovely family.

The boys are chatterboxes...

I'll speak to the priest and fix a date.

What's wrong?

There's no pleasing you all.

- Lala! - What is it?

Focus on work.

The curd is too sour.

Doesn't matter...

we'll figure out something. Let's go.

Where to?

To Sapna's father.

Move aside, Aunty.

Stop right here.

Sapna...

Sapna!

Sapna Gupta...

You?

Namaste, Papa.

Don't call me papa.

- Fine. Namaste, Uncle. - Don't call me uncle too!

- Namaste, Mr. Harishankar. I-- - Don't call me Harishankar.

What do I call him then?

Call him by, 'Yo, man'.

Yo, man...

the four months' time that you'd given me

is what I want to talk to you about.

I'm getting Durga and Laxmi married.

I'll marry them off in a couple of months.

And dowry?

How will you arrange that?

Found a hidden treasure?

Finding treasure is for losers.

Winners need to have a kidney,

which we do... two of them!

Wait, listen...

Let me see Sapna at least.

Aww.

Now we'll add spice,

Lemon juice...

Perfect.

Ask Achan to put up lights...

in the courtyard...

in a straight line.

Ask Chandu to get flowers...

...and order sweets from Punjab Sweets.

Why are you so worried, Lala?

We'll make all the arrangements.

It's Gayatri's first Rakshabandhan after marriage...

It should be perfect.

Okay but where are you going?

I'm going to Bhopal.

But you said Indore.

I did, Bhopal is close to Indore...

I have a couple of catering orders there.

I'll return before Rakshabandhan.

Okay, bye.

This fragile relationship

Is a cherished bond since childhood

Are you okay, Mr. Lala?

You're being so affectionate, it's scary.

At least something scares her.

We'll be bound together forever

By our Rakshabandhan promise to each other

This way, please.

Where did you get the money for my wedding, Brother?

- I-- - Don't even try to lie to me.

I mortgaged the shop.

Oh no!

To pay for my wedding?

What will you do when it's their turn?

I have two kidneys... I'll sell one.

Come on, let's go.

Here's your advance of 25 lakhs.

You'll get another 25 lakhs after the surgery.

Can I get a receipt

...saying I'll get the balance payment

after you take my kidney...

My sisters are getting married.

I need the money for their dowry.

I don't have much time else I wouldn't have...

We've been trading organs illegally for generations...

Don't worry about it.

Our hearts are bound together.

Our relationship is a sacred one.

I am not myself without you.

You are not yourself without me.

I am not myself without you.

You are not yourself without me.

Our hearts are bound together.

Our relationship is a sacred one.

Are we doing the right thing by selling your kidney?

Idiot, this was your idea...

now suddenly you have doubts...

They've given me the injection already.

I am not myself without you.

You are not yourself without me.

I am not myself without you.

You are not yourself without me.

Hi.

Careful.

Happy Rakshabandhan, girls...

You're so late...

- Happy Rakshabandhan. - We're here...

What took you so long?

Wow!

This isn't how Gayatri would do it...

she'd keep the rakhi on this...

- Hello? - I spoke to her yesterday.

Stop eating this...

- I'll tell Gayatri... - Here...

Don't eat that.

- Lala? - Brother...What happened?

Is everything alright?

What happened?

What happened?

Brother?

Lala...

Brother?

Say something.

- Gayatri... - Brother?

- Sir... - What is it?

I got a call from someone saying my sister died.

That's why I'm here.

Come.

Make way.

No, madam. We cannot let you in

...a brother.

He's saying he's the brother.

Sir, I got a call telling me that Gayatri is dead.

- Are you from Chandni Chowk? - Yes, sir.

- Kedarnath? - Yes.

Come with me.

Move aside.

I called you.

The girl's husband called us at 8:45 a.m.

It looks like a case of suicide, prima facie.

Show him the face.

Sir... this isn't my sister...

she was light-skinned...

This girl is blue, sir.

Gayatri...

Gayatri...

Gayatri...

Gayatri...

Gayatri...

Gayatri...

You know my sister was a cheerful girl.

...please.

She was such a good girl...

was she not good enough?

Did she not love you, sir?

Didn't she cook for you, Aunty?

Did she not look after your house?

Why did you kill her?

Why?

They wanted a refrigerator...

- one with a double-door... - Stop.

Be quiet.

They made your sister's life miserable

with their endless demands.

I asked her to tell you what was going on.

She said, 'My brother has been through a lot because of me.

He worked tirelessly to put together my dowry.

How can I ask him for more?'

They told her she couldn't go for Rakshabandhan

if they didn't get a refrigerator.

That's why she consumed poison.

As you leave...

Bedecked with jewelry and henna.

And the palanquin decorated with flowers.

You were meant to belong to another.

Tears in our eyes, we watch as you leave.

As you leave...

May you be happy always.

My dear sister.

As your family sends you off

As your family sends you off

Tears in our eyes.

For our starry-eyed girl

May all your dreams come true

Our blessings are with you

As your family sends you off

As your family sends you off

You're leaving your family behind

And starting a new life

You will bring joy

To someone else's life

You brighten up our lives

And bring us happiness

Your husband will love you

Just as we do

You are wished happiness

As your family sends you off

Your new family is lucky

To find someone as precious as you

They are glad to have got a girl

Who will bring happiness to their lives

Congratulations

God bless you with a long life

And happiness

As your family sends you off

As your family sends you off

As your family sends you off

Gaffar...

Open the shop.

- But, Lala, we should-- - Come on, open it.

Open it.

I am a fool!

My father was a fool!

His father was a fool!

They served golgappas to women...

blessed them saying, 'you'll have a son'.

'You'll have a son!'

These very sons grow up and poison our sisters and daughters.

For what?

What do they kill them for?

For a refrigerator?

For a TV?

They set our daughters on fire for this!

Why do they kill our girls?

Take this board down.

I refuse to sell golgappas that ensure a son!

- Take the board down. - Okay.

Take it down!

Take it down!

I sent them my beautiful sister...

those dogs sent back a corpse!

Those dogs sent back a corpse.

They won't stop, Gaffar.

These boys' families won't stop...

they'll demand more and more...

and we'll keep giving in to their demands.

They'll keep asking for more dowry..

This lady was right.

You were right, madam.

The ones demanding dowry will never do away with this custom.

The ones giving it, will have to do away with it.

The landlord will keep asking for more

but the farmer has to refuse to give in to the demands.

I thought I'd give them what they were asking for,

to ensure that my sister is happy...

but, no...

they want more.

They want gifts on every festival...

when a child is born...

at various family functions...

When there is a marriage in their family, we have to send gifts!

We have to keep giving...

even when we can't afford to!

Their demands never end!

They demand more and more.

Just like I had promised my dying mother...

I promise you, my dear sisters...

I'll make you so capable that you'll get dowry.

The money that I've put together for your dowry...

I'll use it for educating you.

I'll make you so capable that you can demand dowry.

Swear on your father that you won't back down.

Self-respect is much more important than marriage.

I understand this now...

after losing my sister.

I sent off a lively girl and...

I've brought back a dead girl.

They killed her.

Sapna...

you've waited for me to fulfill my promise to my mother.

Now don't wait for me to fulfill my promise to my sisters...

Don't waste any more time, get married to

whomever your father wants you to marry.

Wait. Listen to me...

God doesn't want us to be together.

Don't fight it.

Don't.

I'll kill myself if you don't listen to me.

Marry whomever your father wants you to.

Leave me.

Cry...

Cry as much as you want today.

Cry your heart out.

But no more crying after today.

Wipe your tears.

We have to study very hard.

Brother did all he could for us.

Now it's time we did something.

Grieving your sister, drinking alcohol,

your exhaustion...

I get all this, Kedara...

But what I don't get is...

why are you punishing me?

Why should I marry someone else?

Why should I?

The person I've waited for since childhood...

if he can't be mine,

then a stranger surely won't be, Kedara!

Listen to me.

I'll wait for you,

for as long as it takes...

to fulfill your responsibilities.

I'll wait.

I'll fight with everyone... with Papa...

I'll listen to all their taunts.

But you're the one I want to marry.

After losing a sister and a kidney, Sapna...

I've understood...

nothing is more important than family.

Tell me,

will you be okay knowing your father died

worrying about your marriage?

Tell me.

You might find love again, Sapna

but you won't find another father.

Don't leave me, Lala.

Don't leave me, please.

This city has many people married to someone they're not in love with

so what if there are two more added to the list?

Listen to me.

Go, wear new clothes, have a meal...

see how happy this makes your father.

You'll feel better in a couple of days.

Sapna, the whole of Delhi knows that

Lala Kedarnath makes the best chaat in town.

I'll treat everyone to chaat on your wedding.

You'll die if you're separated from me

I'll die if I'm separated from you

Love will grieve...

Love will grieve...

And this is how our story ends

And this is how our story ends

My promise to you won't break easily

But it might break, if you're upset with me

No matter what

We will fulfill the promises we've made

We are both very much in love

You'll die if you forget

I'll die if I forget

Love will grieve...

Love will grieve...

And this is how our story ends

And this is how our story ends

I promise to be with you always

May we remain just as we are

You can test me any way you like

Our hearts are united

My heart knows the way to your heart

Way to your heart

You'll die if you change

I'll die if I change

Love will grieve...

Love will grieve...

And this is how our story ends

And this is how our story ends

Sapna, listen to me...

all the rituals we've had till now

don't really mean anything.

This is the real thing...

the pheras (circling the holy fire) that you're about to do.

Once you complete the pheras, it's final.

Don't go ahead with this.

When I meet your mother after I die...

If I make you sad,

what do you think she'll say?

How do you think she'll react?

Please.

Don't go ahead with this.

What will the groom's family say?

That's your lookout.

Won't they create a scene?

They will create a scene for sure.

Go ahead.

[chanting prayers]

Won't you handle it?

You have an affair

and I'm supposed to 'handle it'?

Look at Lala.

The rascal is staring at you.

Come on, Sapna. Do something.

Only two pheras are left out of the seven.

Do something!

Hey, Lala...

only two pheras are left to be taken.

Come and stop me, you fool.

Sapna! What nonsense is this?

Hey! I just saw him wink.

They're up to something.

You asked if Sapna was under any pressure...

now you have a problem with it?

Don't touch me.

- What is he talking about? - This is not done!

Aren't you ashamed?

That old man is willing to get beaten up for this and you...

just stand and keep staring at me instead of doing anything.

What can I do?

Aww, 'what can I do'?

'I've done the catering'.

I feel like hitting you, Lala.

You'd said...

'there's nothing more important than family'...

So who am I?

Am I not your family?

From tomorrow you and your father

can start pestering me

for marriage again...

Lala, you think I'll wait for you

and not even pester you?

Sure you can.

I'll go to your shop everyday

and ask you...

'when are we getting married, Lala?'

It's done. It's settled.

The family has agreed, so has the boy.

They're good people. He has a request, Lala...

- Tell him, son. - You tell him.

- I'm feeling shy. - Feeling shy?

A little.

Lala, he fancies Laxmi.

- Really? - Didi?

He's been staring at her all this while.

No, I was just... There's no pressure...

only if everyone's okay with it.

It took a lot of convincing, Lala.

- Agree to it. - Fine.

Come to Daryaganj after my coaching class.

- But I'll agree only if like you. - Sure.

Okay. 5 p.m.

Hope you know, we don't give dowry,

we take dowry.

Everyone here knows this.

Our family's story was now complete but

it would take a few more years to end.

Lala, you rascal, when will you get married?

- I knew it. - Lala...

I knew it.

My brother had fulfilled his duty.

But he was yet to fulfill his promise...

he could marry only after my three sisters did.

He worked day and night for this.

200 years ago we cremated women on their husband's funeral pyres.

But now we don't even wait for that anymore...

the husband sets his wife on fire and kills her.

But it's soon forgotten and forgiven...

After losing me, my brother and everyone realized...

a girl also has 206 bones...

her blood is also red in color

when her flesh burns, it smells the same as that of a man's flesh

and that if she's encouraged,

she too can be successful in life.

12 years ago, my brother had cremated me and said...

nothing is more important than self-respect.

Being independent is the first step towards gaining that.

The day every girl in this country is able to support herself,

that day people will stop demanding dowry.

A marriage is an equal partnership, my friend.

Neither spouse deserves more or less importance.

Neither spouse should give or take money to get married.

When will we understand this?

How many girls have to get beaten, threatened and even killed?

Superb!

My brother looks so handsome, even at 60.

May God bless him with a long life.

I wanted to dance at my brother's wedding

I wanted to live life to the fullest

I wanted to shine as bright as fireworks at my brother's wedding.

But it wasn't to be.

I want to bless everyone with a brother like mine.

My only wish is...

a girl is killed every hour in this country for dowry...

this should stop.

If only so that she too can see her brother getting married

...bringing her sister-in-law home.

In India, 20 girls are killed for dowry, every day. *data as per National Crime Records Bu
