All language subtitles for Aachari Baa (2025)_track3_[eng]

Chopped some ivy gourd
and marinated it in salt and vinegar

...for six hours.

Then heat some oil in a wok.

Add asafoetida,

and let the oil cool down.

Once it cools down,

add some salt,

turmeric,

red chilli powder,

and... fennel seeds.

- Fennel seeds?
- Yes.

Why fennel seeds?

- It gives it a tinge of sweetness.
- I see.

Okay?

Now we add the marinated ivy gourd,

and mix it well.

We'll not let it marinate
in this oil for three days.

Done.

- Done?
- Hmm.

Now Pinal's pickles too
will taste like yours.

No, it won't.

Right, Rupa.

- You are absolutely right.
- Why so?

It's Jaishnavi's blend of special
spices that makes it taste so good.

Come on now, grab the bags,

I need to go to
the post office as well.

Listen...

Don't forget the red
chilli powder, 3 kilos.

I remember.

Let's go.

Let's go, Baa.

No, there's no way
I'll sit on your bike.

We'll get there sooner, Baa.

Haste brings waste.
I'm going.

Come on!

Here's the form.

Sign over here.

It's wrong.

It's got the wrong name.

Her name's Jaishnavi, not Manoj.

Hey Manoj bhai!

All good?

Look at your age.

Pulling someone's
leg doesn't suit you.

You know I don't like
being addressed as Manoj.

Manoj bhai,
here's your pension. Rs. 950.

Manoj?

Then Jaishnavi?

My mother wanted a son,
but she got me instead.

She got upset
and named me Manoj.

This name ruined my childhood.

You know we used to tie
Rakhi to her? Right?

Anop bhai loved the pickles
I used to make for him.

He said, "I'll give
you whatever you want."

I said, "Give me a name
that makes me feel feminine."

That's how I came to be
known as Jaishnavi.

But Jaishnavi ben,
you still sign as Manoj, right?

Yes, for all official work.

But my name is Jaishnavi.

Everyone should know that.

Why are you laughing?

Let's go.
You need to cut raw mangoes.

Lazy to the bone.

- Let's go.
- Okay.

Hello, Bacchu bhai.

Hi, Jaishnavi ben.

How are you?

I'm good.

Let's settle the account.

No hurry.
Have a seat.

Kaju, get a stool for her.

Recharge my phone
with 30 rupees' credit.

Jaishnavi ben, recharging your
phone won't make your son call you.

Don't hurt her feelings,
Bacchu bhai.

I mean it's okay to have hope but
not when you expect disappointment.

I am a mother after all.

- Yes, you are right.
- Come on.

I just want to say that you
should look after yourself.

You should slow down
now and relax a little.

You should stop going door
to door to sell pickles.

Anop bhai still takes
good care of me.

And why should I slow down?
Don't you like my pickles?

Everyone in Rapar loves it.

Our meals are incomplete without it.

That's more like it.

- You just gave me a ton of energy.
- Okay.

Now I can go around
Rapar using this energy.

Wonderful.

Let's go.

Baa, aren't you
forgetting something?

Pension, phone...No.

Chilli powder?

Yes, red chilli powder.

3 kilos of red chilli powder.

Here you go.

You don't need to be related
by blood to support someone.

What would I do without you,
Kanu bhai?

I am not going anywhere, Baa.

Did you talk to mom?

Let me think about it.

What do you need to think about?

There is no place in the crèche.
No one's ready to take care of the dog.

- Dad!
- Hmm?

I want a backpack.

The one we had seen in the mall.

Kaushu!

You said you'll buy me once
if I score distinction in math.

I score 74.5 %.

I just missed by an
eensy-weensy margin.

Can't you be eensy-weensy
more generous, please?

Okay.

Bang-bang promise?

Bang-bang promise.

It's anyway been so long
since mom met Kaushu.

She'd be happy to see him again.

That's why I told we
should go on the bike.

We would have reached by now.

Walking helps strengthen your legs.

And you don't feel scared
if you have strong legs.

The old crone is so blind.

You want me to blind you?

Laughing for no reason!
Get lost! Shoo!

- Let's go.
- Shoo!

Let's go, let's go.

I don't like dogs.

I am scared of them.

Here.

Stay. Have some tea.

Nope, I don't want to
be the third wheel.

Hey!

Anop bhai,

I am used to being alone now.

I now have two cups of tea assuming
you're keeping me company.

Bacchu bhai said that everyone in
Rapar loves my pickles.

I used to love it when
you used to praise me.

Ketan also used to love my pickles.

Anyway, it's his life.

He has a right to
live it as he wants.

But I had a right on you.

You left too soon, Anop bhai.

Kaushu, you have to eat the veggies.

You cannot give all of it to Jenny.

But I don't like veggies.

Kaushu, you should eat
all kinds of veggies.

Kaushal, I was just like you.

I, too, didn't like eating veggies.

So, my mom used to pickle
them all in order to feed me.

Then I used to love eating them.

Why don't you call her up, huh?

Kaushu, would you like to meet
your grandma aka Baa?

- Baa?
- Hmm.

Remember, you spoke
to her on Diwali?

The one you showed
me in the album?

The one who stays in a village?

Hmm.
She stays in Rapar.

She works there just like
your parents work here.

But you'll soon have
vacation in school.

So, would you like to meet her?

Yes, I'd like to meet her.

Then tell papa.

Papa, please, I'd like to meet her.

Please!

Okay son,
I'll make sure you meet her.

Hello?

Hello?

Who is it?
Hello?

Mummy?

Ketan?

Ketan!

Hello, mummy.

Hi.

How are you?

I am doing great.

What about you?

I'm fine, what about you?

How's Manorama?

And Kaushal?

Kaushal is a big boy now.

It's been so long since
I last saw him.

Work keeps us busy, mummy.

It's very difficult to
get a break here.

But I am done with this now.

I want Kaushal to meet his Baa.

I, too, want to meet him.

When are you coming over?

It won't be possible for me to
get a couple of days off.

So, I won't be able to make it.

No problem, then I'll come over.

Yes... yes, that would be perfect.

Should I come there to get you?

No, no, no, you don't need to
take a leave to come and get me.

I am not a kid, I'll come on my own.

Okay then I'll book your ticket
and sent it over to Kanu.

Okay. Don't worry, I am coming.

Okay, mummy. Bye.

Bye-bye.

See, didn't I tell you my
son won't forget me?

I'm going to meet him.

You stay here.

I'm off to meet my grandson.

Rupa, you package
them so quickly.

One after another,
just like a machine.

A couple of females like Rupa,

and we'll be all set to
start a pickle factory.

What say, huh?
Stop it, dumbo.

I'll be happy if we manage to
make 100-150 packets a day.

We are three old crones.

One's blind, one's lame
and one's lazy.

We are good for nothing.

Young mind old body, Manoj bhai.

When will you learn to
keep quiet, Sharda?

Hey, hey, hey,
what's made you so angry,

that you are just packing
your bags and leaving?

Ketan asked me to
join him in Mumbai.

And when were you going
to tell us about it, huh?

I must say that you're lucky.
You got a good son.

"The fruit of the margosa
tree tastes salty to me,"

"The fruit of the margosa
tree tastes salty to me,"

"My mother-in-law keeps taunting me,"
"She feels like a saw to me,"

Manoj bhai, your days of
shedding tears are over now.

Hmm.

Now you prepare to
leave for Mumbai.

Yes.

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

Kaushu, your vacations
begin from tomorrow.

Make sure you note down all
the homework properly, okay?

Okay, papa.

By the way, papa,

when is Baa coming here?

Baa is coming.
She'll be here soon.

- Bye.
- Bye.

"My son is very dear to me,"

"My daughter-in-law has too much
attitude," "She feels like a saw to me,"

"My son's my life, O' my beloved,"

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

I won't lie,

all my anger just disappeared
as soon as I heard his voice.

I cannot...

just cannot tell you how
happy I am feeling.

But I know...

that you understand.

"Let the drums play."

"I want to dance my heart out today,"

"Let the drums play."

"I want to dance my heart out today,"

"Let the drums play."

"I want to dance my heart out today,"

"Let the drums play."

"My beloved likes to keep his pride intact,"
"He likes to keep his pride intact,"

"My beloved likes to keep his pride intact,"
"He likes to keep his pride intact,"

"I don't like anything without him,"

"My heart's always with him,"

"My beloved likes to keep his pride
intact," "I like my beloved's hometown,"

"I don't like anything without him,"

"My heart's always with him,"

"It feels like a spicy pickle,
O' my beloved,"

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"I feel like dancing today,"
"Let the drums play."

"Let the drums..."

- I've kept your bags inside, Baa.
- Okay.

I guess know we'll only be able to
keep in touch via Kanu's phone.

Don't forget us, okay?

Manoj bhai, do send us his address.

I need it to send you a Rakhi.

I'll miss both of you.

Who'll make the pickles now?

You two.

Don't stop the business.

What about your secret
blend of special spices?

I've told Rupa how to make it.

Huh?

Her?

Why not me?

Am I not your friend?

I don't trust you.

You are good at cutting veggies.

You should stick to that.
Ketan's address.

Keep it in your bag.

Give this blend of
special spices to Pinal.

Tell her it is my special
blend of spices.

Her pickles will taste just like
mine if she'll add this to it.

Okay, Baa.

I'll get going now.

You'll come back, won't you?

Hello, ma'am.
Where do you want to go?

Ketan... Ketan Anopchand Vasaria.

I see, I see.
So you are Kaushal's grandma.

Where's Mr. Ketan?

He had gone to receive you.

Yes, my phone's battery died so...

No problem.

Come with me,
I'll take you to his place.

I haven't seen you here before.

Are you coming here
after a long time?

My name's Mukesh Mishra,

but everyone here likes
to address me as Mishraji.

You can call me whatever you want.

We are going to welcome Lord Ganesha
into our society the day after tomorrow.

So everyone's busy preparing for it.

He'll be here for five days...

Our Navjeevan's King.

- This way, please.
- Oh no.

So now?

She should have charged
her phone before leaving.

This is a limit.

Yes, no, wait,
there's someone at the door.

Yes.

Mom.

- Baa.
- Okay.

You are my Baa, right?

Okay, listen...

Kaushal?

My baby!

You've grown so big!

Baa?

- How are you, mom?
- I am good.

- Help me up, dear.
- Okay.

Come with me.

We're meeting after so many years.

God bless you.

- Hey..
- Jenny!

Calm down.
She won't hurt you.

- She won't hurt you.
- Take him away.

- Jenny, go. Go.
- She won't hurt you, mom.

Jenny, in you go.

Okay then ma'am,
I'll get going now.

Come here.

Thank you very much, Mukesh.

- Come, mom. Have a seat.
- She scared me.

- Come.
- Keep her inside, okay?

Okay.

You told Ketan?

He'll worry unnecessarily.
You told him I've reached home?

Yes, I did.
He'll be here soon.

You shouldn't have come
here all by yourself, mom.

My phone's battery's died.

I couldn't think of anything
else, so I came here.

Hey!

Take her away.
Take her away.

The dog won't hurt you.
Let it get a whiff of you.

This is the first time
it is meeting you.

This is how they meet everyone.

- It is just trying to say hello to you.
- Take her away.

Hey! She came back.

- Take her away. Take her away.
- The dog won't hurt you.

Take her away...

It's a nice dog.
Doesn't hurt anyone.

I'll get a heart attack.

Give me your phone,
I'll charge it for you.

Here, take it.

You are so big and yet you
are so scared of doggies.

Kaushu!

Yes, I am very scared of dogs.

- I am very scared.
- Our dog's name is Jenny.

I see.

- My dog's my best buddy.
- I see.

Come mom,
I'll show you around the house.

This is our room
and that one's Kaushu's.

We also have two bathrooms.

Kitchen's that way.

We have a maid,
but she's currently on a leave.

Our refrigerator.

Here's where
you will find everything.

Tea powder, lentils
and other things.

And most importantly,
here's where we keep Jenny's food.

You just need to put
some in the bowl...

and it will be over in
a matter of minutes.

That's the water filter.

Your kitchen's quite big.

Yes, it is.

Here you go.

That must be Ketan.

Come on, mummy,
I told you to wait there,

but you decided to come
here all by yourself.

You know I was worried
sick trying to call you.

Why was your phone turned off?
Do you know how...

She managed to come
here safe and sound.

Let it be, Manorama.

You feel lighter once
you vent all your anger out.

He was worried about his mother.

Why are you still standing there?
Come here and touch my feet.

Have these ten years made you so old

that your back hurts
when you bow down?

Greetings, mummy.

Greetings.

God bless you.

So mummy,
what have you been up to?

Are you still selling pickles?

My business is doing well.

Rupa and Sharda ben help me out
so I manage to scrap through.

How much can you possibly
make by selling pickles?

You have to stop it.

You'll be staying here,
with Kaushal.

That's why I am here.
Right.

Did you get me anything
from the village?

Kaushu, today's dinner
was made by Baa.

Baa brought these Theplas
(spicy bread) and pickles from there.

Wow, that's a lot of pickles.

Did you get a sweater for yourself?

But it doesn't get too cold
in Mumbai, does it?

Take her away. Take her away.

Jenny is a very friendly dog, mom.

You just need to befriend dogs.

Look at her.

She is eating his food.
She's on the table.

I was bitten by a dog
when I was a kid.

Take her away.
Take her away.

Baa, what serials do you watch?

Yes, Baa.

We get all the channels here.

A couple of Guajarati
channels as well.

I don't watch them,
I only listen to them.

I can't see properly.

Take her away.
Take her away.

She won't do anything, mom.

Will she always be here?
Huh?

- Jenny, come here.
- Take her away. Take her away.

Come here, baby.
Come, come, come.

You only have to
take care of him now.

What do you mean?

Tomorrow, we are going to
Darjeeling for ten days.

This is the first time we
are taking Kaushu out.

We cannot take Jenny along.

So please, you will have to
take care of the dog for ten days.

You're leaving tomorrow?

Yes.

I thought Baa too is going with us.

Kaushu, we too wanted
to take Baa along,

but Darjeeling is a hilly place.

It will tire her out very easily.

That's why we aren't
taking her along.

Mummy,

I know it will be
inconvenient for you,

but now that you are going
to always stay here,

it will be better if you get used
to this place and Jenny.

Anyway,
it's just a matter of ten days.

Yes, mom.
It's just for ten days.

Anupbhai,

there isn't a single photo
of us in this house.

Even after coming to
my son's house...

I feel all alone.

I wouldn't have come here,
if Ketan had told me about this.

That poor boy too
was helpless, I guess.

Mom, call us if you need any help.

House keys.

We don't have a duplicate,
so make sure you keep them safe. Okay?

Let's go, Manorama.
Our Cab is here.

I am ready.

Let's go, let's go.

- Take your bag.
- I will miss you.

Here.

Thank you, mom.

Kaushal, take Baa's blessings.

You are going out...

so buy Kaushal something nice.

It would be so nice
if you'd come with us.

But you are old so...

Goodbye, Baa.

Let's go.

- Bye, Jenny.
- Bye, Jenny.

Bye.

Hey... Jenny!

Goodbye, Baa.

Mom? Can I go with you?

What will you do with
a bunch of ladies?

Stay home and study.

I have already finished studying.

I'll carry your bag for you.

You'll get bored.

Don't leave me alone.

I feel scared.

Come.

Thank God.

Milk... should be in the refrigerator.

Where is it?

There is no milk here.

Sugar... sugar, where is the sugar?

Hello.

You rang the bell?

Yes, I am scared of Jenny.

Me too.

I am Dhanashree Madgulkar.

Manorama had told me
that you'd be here,

so I thought I should ask you
if you need anything.

Are you alright?

I am fine, but I don't understand
what Jenny needs.

I feel scared that
she might bite me.

She has never bitten
anyone so far, but...

Should I make you some tea?

- Yes, please.
- Okay.

Praise the Lord!

- Hello?
- Hello, Baa?

Hey... Kanu bhai!

How are you?

I am fine, Baa.

Both your friends are here with me.

Wait, I am putting
you on speaker.

Here, talk to her.

Hi, Manoj bhai!

- How are you?
- Hey!

How's everyone?

Fine. Everyone's fine.
Just fine.

His house is very big.

It has all the amenities.

What about your grandson...?

Did you he even recognise you?

You have become quite busy.

I am sure you spend most of
your time with your grandson.

Hmm?

Yes.

He's very smart.

And he's so talkative!

How's everything else?

Have you adjusted well?

Yes.

How are you doing?

Are you still making pickles?

Or did you start slacking
as soon as I left?

Sharda keeps skipping work.

I have to force her to work.

Good. Good.

Baa... is everything alright there?

Yes.

Looks like Kaushal is here.

I'll hang up now.

Jaishnavi cannot
lie to save her life.

- Jenny! Jenny!
- Hey!

- Go back! Go back!
- Jenny! Jenny!

- Jenny!
- Jenny!

- Hi!
- Hi! Hi!

Go back! Go back!

Hello.
You are?

Ketan's mother.

You are Kaushal's grandma!
Cool!

We are here to invite
you for Ganesh Chaturthi.

So what are the Vasaria's
going to give as offerings?

Baa, every year,
every flat offers an offering.

That's what they are asking about.

- You didn't need to be so formal.
- It's for Baa, Harsh.

Well, Manorama aunty didn't inform
us so we came here to enquire.

Well... they have gone to Darjeeling.

They'll come after ten days.

So they called you here
to look after Jenny?

Yes.

No.

Well...

Well, they had to leave
when I got here.

We haven't here you here before.

This is my first visit.

I see.

Hey, you gave a lot of
dog food to Jenny.

You shouldn't give that much.

You shouldn't overfeed the dog,
it can do them more harm than good.

I don't know anything about dogs.

Then how will you look after it?

Look Baa, put the food in this
bowl and water in this bowl,

but in small qualities.

And you need to take the dog on
walks in the mornings and evenings.

What for?

Hey!

Hey!

Come on!

Hello, ma'am.

Looks like she has
started listening to you.

You seem to have befriended her.

What have I gotten myself into?

Good God!

Oh God!

Come back!

Come back, where are you?

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey!

Hey!
Shoo! Shoo!

Shoo! Oh no!

Hey! Shoo! Shoo!

Hey! Shoo!

Hey! Hey! Shoo!

Don't raise your hand to hit them
if you cannot raise it to love them.

- Who are you?
- Er...

How did you get in?

I am...

This is not a public park, madam.

Who are you?

Sir! Sir! Sir!

You know Mr. Ketan from 1201?

She is his mother.

Oh.
Sorry.

I didn't know.

I am sorry.

Mr. Ketan has gone out
with his family, sir.

So he called his mother
here to look after Jenny.

I see.

I am Brijesh Malhotra.

He stays in the L wing, 502.

He's our society's secretary.

I am scared of them.

I worry that they might bite me.

I don't know how to look after them.

- Sorry.
- Yes, sir.

And her eyesight isn't
too good either.

Right, ma'am?

Sorry, I was very rude.

I love dogs.

Yes. He too had one, Gifty.

He used to love him
like his own son.

Why don't you only
tell her everything?

All I would say is that you
should feel scared of Jenny.

You should consider
Jenny as your friend.

No one is ever more
loyal than a dog.

Where is she?

Hey! Jenny!

I am elder to you, am I not?

You should let elders
reprimand you at times.

Are you still feeling scare?

I won't hit you anymore.

Okay?
Yes?

We'll only become friends
if you don't bark at me.

There is no chance, otherwise.

So you decide.

Get up, we need to go get milk.

Get up. Are you still upset with me?

Let's go already.

Come with me. Come on.

Come with me.

The tea you made for me
was delicious, Dhanu.

Now try this dal-bhat
(rice and lentils)I have made for you.

What are you doing this, Baa?

You didn't need to bother.

One should never
return a plate empty.

And I also needed to befriend you.

Fine.

Let me get some for her as well.

Here's Jenny's dinner...

Dal-bhat.

Here, have some.

Eat it. Come on.

- Jenny's hungry.
- Yes.

You too should have some.

Have some Jaishnavi's
special pickle.

One bite and its taste will
forever stay in your tongue.

Got it?

Oh, I need to give some
pickle to her as well.

Here, you too have some
pickle made by me.

You'll thank me for it.

There.

It feels so nice to have someone
else serve you food for a change.

I had brought some
chocolates for Kaushal.

But as he is not here,
I'll give one to you.

- Here's your dessert.
- Thank you.

I will never say no to this.

I don't care who you brought it for.

I should give one to Jenny as well.

I'll go give one to her.

I'm sure she'd love to
have a chocolate.

Yes.

Here, you too have some chocolate.

Thank you.

Will Jenny be okay at home?

Why won't Jenny be okay?

Remember Baa is staying with Jenny.

But Baa is scared of Jenny.

Papa, I want to talk to Baa.

Hello?

- Hello?
- Hello, Baa?

- Yes, Ketan.
- Are you alright?

Yes, I am.

- Don't worry.
- Is Jenny alright?

We are friends now.

Yes.
How are you?

Is Jenny missing me?

She is missing you.

And I too am missing you.

She was crying a lot.
She just went to sleep.

Okay.
Let Jenny sleep with you.

Jenny will feel better.

Mummy too would make me
sleep next to her when I cry.

I should let her sleep in my bed?

Oh Good Lord!

Where are your parents?

They are here with me.
Should I give the phone to them?

They don't want to talk to you.

Hello, mummy?

She hung up.

This is too much, Kaushu.

It's okay.

Baa won't feel bad of
anything Kaushu says.

Don't spoil your mood over it.

We are on a holiday.

We still have to go sightseeing.

We have to go shopping!

Okay? Cheer up.

Go to sleep.
Don't feel scared.

It will stop in some time.

Go to sleep.

Thank you God for everything.

Ganpati Bappa Morya!
(Hail Lord Ganesha!)

Mangal Murti Morya!
(Praise Lord Ganesha!)

I'm so late!

Tea first? No.

Hey, Jenny?

Come on, get up.

I'll first serve you breakfast
then have some tea.

[Prayer]

[Prayer]

Get up already.

How much more do you
want to sleep, huh?

Get up, I'm getting your breakfast.

Jenny!

Get up, baby.

Who could it be?

Coming!

Jenny!

Coming! I'm coming!

[Prayer]

Are you ready, Baa?

Let me give Jenny something
to eat then we will leave.

Okay. We are getting late
for the veneration.

I am coming.

Get up.

- Jenny?
- Your breakfast is ready.

- Jenny!
- Jenny?

Jenny!

Where is she?

Jenny!

Oh God.

Jenny?
Jenny?

[Prayer]

[Prayer]

Are you okay, Jenny?

Jenny?

Oh God, what have I done!

- Jenny! Jenny!
- Baa, what is wrong with Jenny?

I closed the balcony door last
night while she was still here.

I completely forgot about her.

She spent the whole night outside.

She is shivering.

I think she has caught a cold.

Jenny...

[Prayer]

Jenny...
Come on my baby, get up.

Please get up.

What have I done!

Come on, let's go.

Get up.

Yes, come on, get up.

Come on, come with me.

- What is wrong, ma'am?
- I don't know.

She looks unwell to me.

- Jenny...
- Don't worry, I'll go get my car.

We need to take her to a
veterinarian right away.

Please hurry up.

That's Kaushal's doggie, right?

What is wrong with Jenny?

I hope Jenny doesn't die.

No, ma'am. Please don't worry.
Jenny will be fine.

What did you feed this dog?

Same things that I ate.

I was having ivy gourd pickle,
so I gave some to her.

And some chocolate.

Jenny is an animal,
and not a human being.

You shouldn't give these
things to your dog.

They act like poison for them.

My pickle is poisonous to her?

Pickle isn't but chocolate is.

You shouldn't give
chocolate to a dog.

You should avoid giving
them pickles as well.

She will make it, won't she?

Yes.

But you need to take
good care of your dog.

Don't worry.

Just keep giving boil water
and milk to Jenny.

Baa, call me if you need
anything at all.

Don't forget, love is the
best medicine for Jenny.

Bye.

Thank you very much.

Forgive me, Jenny.

I'll take good care
of you from now on.

Hmm?

I'll make sure that
nothing happens to you.

Hmm?

O my baby...

You were in so much pain.

You were in so much pain,
weren't you?

Hmm?

Nothing will happy to you now.

Your mother is here with you.

"Your eyes are a mystical box of dreams,"

"Oh my baby, I wish you sweet dreams,"

"Under your lids, you hide
a small world of dreams,"

"Oh my baby, I wish you sweet dreams,"

"O' Moon, behind the clouds
I want you to hide,"

"O' Sleep, I want you to you
stay in my baby's eyes,"

"Go and hide for some time,"

"I'll give you anything you want,"

"I just want you to sleep some more,"

Jenny, walk with me daily
and you will recover soon.

It will be an exercise
for me as well.

Isn't it?

Now, Jenny has become
quite obedient, Baa.

You tend to Jenny lovingly
and take it out for a walk, too.

Moreover you also brought
Jenny to the temple that day.

I bet Mr. Ketan will be envious
of your friendship with Jenny.

"I'd like to go ahead in your company."

"Make my day and nights memorable."

"This animal is innocent,
it only shares love with us."

"You've made me tension free."

"You tolerate all my mischief."

"Let's live happily in life."

"Let's take control of all our pain.."

"..and fly up in the sky lightheartedly."

"Let's take control of all our pain.."

"..and fly up in the sky lightheartedly."

"You've made me tension free."

"You tolerate all my mischief."

"Let's live happily in life."

"Let's take control of all our pain.."

"..and fly up in the
sky lightheartedly."

- "You're my happiness."
- Hello, Anopbhai.

At this crossroad of life,

our son has gone far-away.

But the other one has
reminded me of my past.

See for yourself.

This is my daughter.

Her name is Jenny.

Call Jenny, a son.

Sorry, I came in directly
as the door was open.

Never mind. Neighbours have the
right to enter without permission.

Did you mention son?

Well, Jenny is the male
dog and not female.

What are you saying?

Baa, I thought you already know.

How would I know?

I can neither see clearly,
nor anybody informed me.

That's why I wondered..

But..

Isn't Jenny a female name?

That's right.

But these people had
a female dog earlier.

Poor puppy died in an accident..

Keeping Kaushar in dark,

Mr. Ketan got another dog that
looked exactly the same.

And they named it Jenny.

But in reality, it's a male dog.

Not done.

We should never give a male
name to female or vice versa.

I know how unmanageable it is.

Why? It's just an animal.

It doesn't know that difference.

We should never try and snatch
away anyone's identity.

We will give you a male name now.

Suggest some.

Jackie! Johnny!

Jimmy!

Doesn't sound close to the heart.

Okay, Jitu! An indian name.

J.. J.. J..

J.. J.. J.. Jenny! Jenny! Jenny!

Jigar!

Yes.

Even he liked the name Jigar.

- Cool.
- From now..

What's this cool now?

Actually cool means cold. But..

Is Jigar a cold name?

No, the name is really good.

But the word 'cool'
is commonly used these days..

Which means nice.

Oh! Cool!

Jigar is cool.

Jigar! Come to me.

My baby!

So, you're Jigar.
Cool Jigar! What are you?

Cool Jigar.

Jigar?!

Is there somebody like you?

Jaishnavi sounds happier.

Listen to Rupa.

Is everything alright?

Absolutely.

Yes, I've found my Jigar.

Piece of my heart.

Sounds great!
You sound very happy meeting Jigar.

Doesn't your grandson talk to you?

No.. Ketan, Kaushal
and Manorama takes good care of me.

But Jigar stays with
me the entire day.

So, I remain occupied.

Baa, don't forget this Kanu now.

How are you?
Has Pinal made the pickle?

Yes, she has.

She also used the same pickle mix...
...that you had given her.

Still, the taste is
not like that of yours.

How come?

Kanu, pickle mix makes
your work easier.

But it's sister Jaishnavi's hands
that brings in the perfect taste.

- Yes.
- That's true.

Bachbhai is right.

Jaishnavi has got magical hands.

What's it?

Okay, I will talk to
you all later. Yes..

What's the matter?

Hey, what happened?

How did you get hurt?

Baa, this is the first
time I'm bleeding.

So, cool! Isn't it?

Aren't you in pain?

Yes, I am.
But this is my first wound.

So, I'm enjoying it.

Courageous girl, I must say.

Absolutely.

- I've inherited my grandpa.
- I see.

Do you know,
my grandpa was in navy?

But I've never seen your parents.

They are no more.

They died in a car accident.

Indeed you're a courageous girl.

Grandpa says 'crying is weakness'.

Will you eat something?

First let me post my wound
then think about my hunger.

- Shall I show it?
- Yes.

You also pose with me.

Yo. Cool!

I should have said 'Yo' or 'Cool'?

Whatever!

- Yo cool! What...
- Now, I'm hungry.

Grandma, this pickle
is too delicious.

So many flatbreads?

Have you made them for all?

Wow! Flatbreads made by you.

- Take it.
- This is it! Wow!

- Give her one.
- Yes.

You were asking about the
offertory from Vasaniya family.

So, this is it, flatbreads
with pickle spread.

It's delicious, Baa.

It's just too good, aunt.

This much won't suffice me.

I've more at home.
Come and take it later.

- Baa.
- "Glory to.."

He's my husband Aniket.

She's Kaushal's grandma.
I had told you about her.

Bless you.

Dhanshree doesn't
stop talking about you.

Where do you keep busy leaving
your newly wedded wife?

My work is like that.

It demands visiting places.

Even this time I've got
just one day holiday.

Oh, so you won't be
there for the immersion.

I'm sorry.

We are busy actually.

Okay, Baa. Bye.

Strange!

Although being a
secretary of the society,

I've still not got the offertory.

This is cheating.

It's empty?!

Ketan, you're on holiday.

Just five minutes. I'm done.

You've taken holidays
from your work.

This is work and I can't
take my work for granted.

Good night!

They must be tired of visiting places.

Maybe they've slept.

By the way, they should
have given a call.

But we can do nothing about it.

The time has changed.

Shall I ask you something?

Myraa can't stop praising you.

Ever since she has
had the flatbread,

and pickle at your home,
she has been getting adamant.

What do you mean?

I mean, even I cook at home.
That too, daily.

And it always turns out delicious.

But she has never praised
me like she did for you.

So, I was thinking...

...of inviting you for the lunch.

- Yes, why not?
- Thank you,

Come on, it's been many days.

Doctor said, once in a week..

Come on, you've to take
bath once in a week.

Come on, come fast.

Come.. come.. come..
Come for the bath.

Come on.. come on..

Sit here.

Sit here. Sit down.
Sit down.

Hey, Jigar. Stop.

Baa.

- O my God!
- Why are you smiling?

- I was scared.
- You got scared.

After great difficulty I had
brought Jigar for bathing.

But my Jigar heard your
voice and ran away.

Will you eat parched rice?

No. Keep it there.

- Shall I bring Jigar back?
- Yes, please.

- Hey.. hey.. old lady fell down!
- Baa.

Baa, are you alright?

- Old lady fell down!
- Baa, you're too..

- Cool!
- Yo!

Whatever!

- Good you agreed to come.
- Yes.

Otherwise, Ketan and Manorama,

tried their best to find a
good caretaker for Jenny.

They neither found a
dogtrach nor a friend.

They asked us as well.

But it's a big responsibility
to take care of a dog.

Yes, of course.

But you're a mother, after all.

You can't refuse him. Isn't it?

Mom.

Mom.

- Listen.
- Wait a minute, son.

Dad.

I am missing Baa.

I want to speak to her.

Wonder what she must
be doing with Jenny.

He's my grandpa.

They are my parents.

Tell me who do I resemble?

Like your dad.

You've a moustache like your dad.

- Moustache?
- Yes.

But he doesn't have moustache.

That's why I said so.

Give me my phone, please.

K E T A N. Ketan.

Shall I receive it?

Shall I?

Baa, why didn't you allow
me to receive the call?

Sometimes, avoiding a
call indicates a lot.

Greetings.

Yeah!

- We've cooked today.
- I see.

Flatbread, curry and pickle.

- I see.
- Somewhat like you make.

I see, this is the ivy gourd pickle.

Navy officials like
to get challenged.

Please taste and tell me.

How's it?

Good?

Okay-okay?

Hope it isn't bad to taste!

Fail?

Absolutely failed?

It's delicious!

- Yes.
- But not like that of your taste.

Your pickle was too good.

I wouldn't lie.

I never knew that ivy gourd
can be used in pickle as well.

But I had seen a video.

I followed this video
to make the pickle.

Chopped it and keep
aside for six hours.

Okay?

- Now, I..
- From where did you get this?

I asked my sister.

She lives in Delhi.

She sent me this video.

There's a woman in Gujarat.

She makes awesome pickles
from many different vegetables.

This is me.

- You?!
- Yes.

See these are my hands.

See...

- Strange!
- These are my hands.

That's true.
It's you.

Yes, but how did you get this video?

This is the magic of internet.

- Social media.
- Meaning?

I mean everything is
possible these days.

This video can be
made viral worldwide.

Anybody living in any part
of the world can watch it.

Anyways, your video
is already viral.

That means you're
hastag (#)trending, Baa.

You're famous now.

This is bigger than the cool.
Awesome!

Which are the other vegetables'
pickles you make?

What are you saying, Baa?

I had sent it to Pinal only.

I met Mr. Brijesh over here
in Mumbai. He told me.

Who's this Brijesh?

He lives in the same society.

Have some shame, old lady.

You're 65 now.

Did you get wings in Mumbai?

Shut up, you idiot.

Let me return to Rapar,
then I will set you straight.

How about Manojbhai?

But how did it reach to Brijesh?

Does he know Pinal?

He said he saw it in the interval.

- What?!
- Interval.

Baa, he must have said internet.

Yes, exactly.

He said I've become viral.

Oh no!

Then you will take
15 days to recover.

Bachubhai also suffered from it.

He didn't open the shop for 15 days.

Oh God!

Mumbai's weather is not suitable.

Stop it, ladies.
She doesn't mean that.

- Hey, I'm just a year older
than you, Kanu. - Yes.

Don't address me as
if I'm elder to you.

'Viral' doesn't mean
that she's sick.

Then?

Baa has become famous now.

She has been known to many now.

- Really?
- Yes, that's what they said.

Wow! Jaishnavi, that's good news.

You mean, does everybody know you?

In Mumbai, In Delhi?
In all the cities?

No, nobody knows me.

Okay, bye.

Have a good day.

Huh?

- As I said...
- No, Brijesh. I can't do this.

- Why can't you?
- I'm aged.

I don't need to do all this.

Don't say that.
Both of us are still young.

Uncle Brijesh isn't
saying anything wrong.

Yes, Baa. I've never had
such pickle in my life.

Don't you think this taste
should be known to the world?

Have you lost it?

How can I make pickle
in bulk quantity?

You won't be doing it alone.

You can appoint helpers.

Increase your production with time.

If you need more helpers,

I know many hard working
guys in my village.

They will rush to the
city on my single call.

I don't want to do it.

Why don't you get it?

Baa, even I think
it's not a bad idea.

Why don't you people get it?

I'm aged now.

I'm happy with my small
scale business in Rapar.

I don't dream big.

You said you've two more
friends in the village,

to help you in your business.

Yes, Rupa and Sharda.

Now, think about many
other women in Rapar,

like the three of you,
who will be facing financial crisis.

Some may not be living on pension.

Some are living alone
as their children,

living in the city,
do not care about them.

And those women have
no support now.

We can give a test trial.

There's a food festival
after three days.

We can start from there.

Good idea.

This will boost your
confidence, Baa.

You people are saying it,
as if it is that easy.

It's also not difficult.

I think we need a name.

A brand name, you see.

'Achari Baa' (Pickle grandma) !

'Achari Baa'?

"Walk through the curvy lanes
to reach your destination."

"Spend some sleepless nights
to achieve your goal."

"Dreams are little insane yet skillful.."

"..they are running on the busy streets."

"Get adamant, O heart."

"Face any challenges."

"Fly high, without any excuses."

"Do whatever you wish to,
do not fear of the obstacle."

"Do or die."

"Break all the bonds."

"This heart bounces on every lane."

"It measures every lane."

"It wouldn't notice any
wall but runs blindly."

"This heart bounces on every lane."

"It measures every lane."

"It wouldn't notice any
wall but runs blindly."

Dhanashree, I'm scared.

Why, Baa?

All this is new for me.

This place..

Hey, assort according to the size.
Keep that bigger piece over there.

This society.

So many people.

They don't just love me
but they trust me.

I'm not used to all this.

I've always lived alone.

I've fought alone in my life.

I may not be happy
in my small world,

but I wasn't even sad.

But this dream that you
all are showing me.

What if it breaks?

Shall I say something, Baa?

My dad always said that,

sometimes even the last key of
the bunch would open the lock.

There's nothing wrong in trying.

Yes, Baa.
And we are with you.

You just chill.

Yes, Baa.
You're our most cool Baa.

O God!

Oh!

This old lady has broken her
glasses all by herself.

I've checked your earlier
glasses number.

Your number has increased.

It seems you haven't changed
your glasses since ages.

Yes, I was using it
since Kaushal's birth.

Hey.. I am..

Everything looks different now.

Oh, Dhanshree.

You look beautiful.

Show me. Show me.

I could never see
you properly until now.

You look the same.

Okay, move now.

Let me see my baby.

My baby!

Jigar! You look so cute!

Earlier I could see
only your blur image.

Just the golden colour.

Jigar.

Now, you look cute.

Manubhai, had you been here today,

you would have been proud about me.

I still look beautiful.

Don't talk rubbish, you dumbo!

Quiet! Keep quiet!

Quiet!

There was an old lady in my village.

She used to make chili pickle.

But her pickle didn't
get this taste, Baa.

Nobody can compete with
Baa in making pickle.

Friends, see this.

How is it?

This is so exceptional!

Baa's pickle will steal the show
in tomorrow's food festival.

How do you like it, Baa?

Bigger than cool! Awesome!

'Achari Baa!'

Mom!

Yes, we will be back tomorrow.

And.. will you please cook for us?

Actually, Manorama will
be tired of the journey,

so she won't be able to.

Goodbye.

What?!

- We can?!
- How's the food?

Awesome!

Eat to your heart's content.
Did you take pickle?

Yes, that's the first thing
we served in the plate.

Tell me one thing.

I've had flatbread made by you,
curry made by you.

I had everything.

You make kickass food.

You can cook any item delicious.

Then why only the pickle?

Pickle is the moral of life.

It incorporates all the tastes.

Sour, sweet, spicy and bland..

Mrs. Jaishnavi.

A surprise for you.

Come in.

I think you need an
emotional support.

So, here you go.

Mr. Brijesh is a gentleman.

I liked him a lot.

He respects your emotions.

Shut up, you idiot.

But yes, I feel so good to see you.

Same here.

Now, I can see everything clearly
with these new glasses.

Earlier I could see
everything blur.

Baa, it feels so good
to see you happy.

Yes. Are your children
taking good care of you?

Even they are like my children.

They are a great support to me.

And this Jigar is my biggest support.

Seeing you all,
I feel so energetic now.

I'm little daunted for tomorrow.

Baa, you're still very strong.

- Don't get scared.
- Yes, that's true.

For tomorrow.. what do they say?

- What was that word?
- I will tell you.

- Best of luck.
- Yes, best of luck.

Thank you!

Thank you.

"It wouldn't notice any

"This heart bounces on every lane."

"It measures every lane."

"It wouldn't notice

This is a big market.

Yes, Baa, I had told you.

This is food and handicraft festival.

And Mr. Brijesh, Harsh and Bilva
have planned a surprise for you.

That's why I wondered
why I can't see them.

Mrs. Jaishnavi,
where's your attention?

Achari Baa's stall is here.

Is this my pickle?
So many bottles?

Pickle as well as
the entire stall is yours.

Yes, Baa. And people can't stop
themselves from tasting it.

Ivy gourd pickle is already
hit in this festival.

Is it?

Hello and welcome!

Welcome all of you to the food
and handicraft festival.

People from every corner
have come here,

to present their favourite taste.

This year's food festival theme is
'Hidden Gem' (dark horse).

Yes.

So, let's see who's the
'hidden gem' of taste this year?

They are all excellent.

I can see the whole meal here.

How long my pickle
will stand at them?

It will..

A pickle completes the full meal.

So, pickle is important.

These kids are so mischievous!

They come time and again
to taste the pickle.

That's what I like the most.

You too must be
planning a kid, right?

No, Baa. Not now.

We're recently married.

Listen, lesser the distance between
a mother and her child..

..lesser are the chances
of them being distanced.

Think about it.

Yes, but I haven't even
become a proper wife yet.

How will I be a mother?

There's only one
relation in the world,

that expects nothing in return.

A mother's relation.

And she's the oldest
contestant of our festival.

Jaishnavi Anupchand Vasaniya.

Achari Baa.

Childish name it seems.

That too, only pickle?

What's so special about this pickle?

This isn't even seasoned yet.

Will you sell raw pickle?

And it's too oily.

Nobody will eat such
oily thing these days.

But it's a hit amongst the crowd.

We sold so many bottles.

I'm not saying your pickle is bad.

But this is a competition.

It's little difficult to
impress the judges.

Better luck next time.

- Hello!
- Hello!

- How are you, sister Jaishnavi?
- I'm good.

I've made different
varieties of pickles.

If you can please
sell it at your shop.

Who would buy the pickle,
sister Jaishnavi?

Everybody makes
it at home in our area.

So what if you didn't win
the competition, Baa?

- At least you..
- Jenny. Jenny.

Hey, Kaushal!

My son.

For the first time,

I can see you very clearly
through these new glasses.

- My child.
- Have you won the competition?

You won't believe, Ketanbhai.

But Baa has done wonder today.

Thank you, Dhanashree.

Ketan!

- I can see you clearly.
- Mom. Mom.

Mom. I am not a child.

From these new glasses,
everything looks so clear.

Mishra told me.

You had participated in
some food festival!

Yes.
You didn't tell us.

What was the need, mom?

When will you stop
selling this pickle?

Forget it! The good thing is that

at least now you've
befriended Jenny.

Baa has cooked for us,
shall I serve?

Yes.

And then we had gone
by the toy train.

Wonder why it is
called the toy train.

It's quite big.

And it had a steam engine.

I couldn't decide
what to buy for you.

I thought of buying a shawl
but it's never that cold in Mumbai.

Is your vacation over, Kashu?

Yes, school starts from tomorrow.

Alright.

I'm going back to Rapar tomorrow.

Why, mom?

Your purpose to call
me here is solved.

Now, I'm not needed anymore.

Anupbhai.

I'm missing you a lot today.

Encourage me.

Mom.

Are you really going?

Yes.

Mom.

- Mom.
- Mom, listen. Mom.

Mom, please stop.

Mom.

What drama is this?

Is this a drama?

Huh!

I didn't expect this from you.

You rarely called me
up in past 10 years.

You neither came to see me,
nor did you call me here.

I've also forgotten
my grandson's face.

And when you called me,
it was by deceit.

Mom, let's discuss this at home.

Society members know

that you've called me here
as your dog's caretaker.

Then why feeling ashamed now?

You should have told me the truth.

I'd have come.

I'm your mother.

You shouldn't have lied to me.

As long as pickle is concerned.

That you are irritated with.

But it's my identity.

And you're in this position today
all because of my pickles.

I can never stop making it.

A spoonful of pickle which takes
a small space of your dish.

That same pickle made provision
of our full meal all our life.

I'm indebted to it.

Which I can never repay.

So, learn to respect your parents.

They are not there just to raise
your children or your pets.

Baa, are you going?

Whenever you wish
to meet me, tell your dad.

He will bring you to me. Okay?

And never forget
your mother. Okay?

- Promise?
- Promise!

Jenny! Jenny! Jenny, stop.
