Sister-in-law, look at this. Poonam has 8,000 followers!

What? She sings really bad!

I know, right?

Sanju told me, you can buy followers.

Is it? Really Sanju?

I am telling you. Pay Rs. 2,000 and you can get 20,000 followers.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

Let it be. His followers will be as spend thrift as him.

I will elbow you to death.

How can they say no so easily?

They said yes, right?

I don't know, suddenly they said the seniors said no.

They can't give the retainer. What can I say then?

The retainer was going to run the expenses of the shop.

What do we do now?

Is Ratan very upset?

I don't know.

I told him in the afternoon.

He hasn't spoken since then.

That's why mom called you to patch up in case of trouble.

Please handle it.

Here you are.

Here is the 'kheer'.

Here you are, sister-in-law.

-For you. -Oh!

-This smells good. -Yes.

Give me the bowl with more.

-Take it. -Thank you.

Here, take this.

Ratan, you made 'kheer'.

Sit down.

Ratan.

You know, I say

would Mr. Goel still be interested in our shop?

Should I call them?

No.

Why? We have to sell the shop now, right?

We won't sell the shop.

Since two years we've been playing a losing game.

-Do you admit that? -Yes.

We never got on the ground, we sat in the pavilion and lost.

Now we have a new batsman.

He has hit the ball for four runs, consecutively.

He may have been bowled out on the fifth ball.

But he showed us we still have a game.

I mean...

I mean, we should celebrate with sweets.

Because it is happy news that we aren't selling the shop.

Celebrate with sweets, everyone. This is good news.

Come on.

-It's good. -That's great.

Come on. Cheers to that.

That's amazing.

I want to eat imartis!

-Now, she wants imartis. -Okay. In the morning.

Here's the basic rule of life.

Travel with the correct folks and every journey is memorable.

In my case, I went with A-1 Paradise Travels.

It's at Geeta Bhawan to the left of the temple.

For all your customised travel needs, A-1 Paradise Travels.

What is going on, Sanju? You came into office on a Sunday?

Uncle, I came to meet you.

What is it?

I need to speak to you.

So, tell me.

Change the gear! Listen to the sound.

Listen to the sound of it! It ruins the average!

Oh, gosh! Brother, please stay calm.

You want to get to the station, right? I will get you there.

I got the car after so many days!

Fine, enjoy yourself.

Listen, while returning, we must get Kachoris from the Red Bucket.

-Oh no! -We need a proof we went there.

I can't risk it.

You don't have the heart to be romantic.

Just tell mom, you are going to see off your future wife at the station.

Let's ask mom, has she met her Punjabi son-in-law yet?

He is really handsome!

So, a heart attack free to go with the trauma.

Oh, that hurt.

I can see mom's furious face!

Yes, so you have some time?

Well, some of us still have a job.

I read your message.

You crapped all over the HealthyFine interview again?

I didn't crap all over it, I left it midway.

The interview was going very well.

Why?

What can I say?

-Very good. -That's good.

Any future plans about applying to jobs?

Nothing yet. I am stuck right there.

I am tired of applying everywhere, you know.

I don't think you are up to any good.

You've gone home and slacked off.

Just shut up! Not up to any good, it seems!

Listen, let me call you back. I have something to do.

Work? On a Sunday?

In love, you work every single day.

But you won't get that, so get off the phone.

Wow, my corporate poet!

"In love, you work every single day."

Uncle, you were right.

I should have done the paperwork. I messed up.

Uncle, I am a first-class fool.

I never should have gotten into this business.

I made a mistake. I am not capable of this.

If I had gotten the paperwork done then...

Things would have never gone so out of hand.

Forgive me, uncle.

Son, when the horse loses the race

it's not his fault.

It's often the rider who is to blame.

And your gaming business idea

that's your horse.

It was healthy and fine and was running well.

But you bet your money on the wrong rider.

He ran away with your horse.

Wait and see.

When you ride that horse yourself that's when you will win.

-Okay uncle, the money-- -Son...

The loss of the money is the fees for your tuition.

Forget about it.

Go and get to work.

Your dad got enthused and told me not to sell the shop.

Now all of us have to do the hard work.

Go on.

Get to work, son. Get to work.

May I have you attention please...

Does Ridhima know you will be coming to say bye?

I told her I would be busy. I thought I'll surprise her.

What's that one?

No, this is the platform. There are 12 minutes to spare.

No.

We are late, brother.

Did you keep all the documents?

Papa, I kept everything. Don't worry.

Did you give her money?

-Now, what to do? -Listen, we don't do anything.

-Let's go from here. -What?

Someone may see, it won't look good.

Let me say bye. We will say bye, right?

Are you mad? Should I go and say bye amidst all these people?

-Let's go. -No, brother. That would be crazy!

-What crazy? -Listen to me.

Don't eat the besan laddoos alone on the way.

I have sent them for your colleagues, right?

Offer it to them on the first day and make a good impression.

Mom, those who want to be impressed

will be even after eating bitter gourd.

She does have a point there.

Okay, dear. Tell me one thing. Can you stay there alone? Sure?

Dad, you know your daughter is strong.

Why do you worry...

Go on and meet her.

Her parents are there. What will I say...

Hi, Ridhima!

This is wrong! You are leaving without saying bye.

Hello, uncle. Hello, aunt.

I am Suruchi and this is Shekhar.

-We are Ridhima's colleagues. -Hello.

I mean, ex-colleagues.

See, she was about to leave without saying bye. That's wrong!

Thank you, guys, for coming.

Sorry, you left early on the last day, I could not say bye.

Yes, yes. Uncle...

I didn't know, you'd come.

Actually, I was...

We thought we would give you a surprise.

-Since she is leaving, right? -That's good, son.

Very good.

Okay...

Actually, can we three of us...

Yes, why not? Carry on.

Come on over here.

-Let me get some water. -No.

Okay, then. Bye.

Bye.

Have a great time in Bangalore!

Come on, guys! One last time. Group hug.

Come on.

They seem to be very close friends.

But Ridhima never mentioned them.

Yes. Listen. Didn't a guy like him study in Ridhima's school?

He was a goon!

These two are so sweet!

They do seem really sweet, right?

They are hugging it out.

Listen, I told you not to drink lemonade followed by soda.

You have no self-control!

You threw back two glasses. Of course, you will vomit.

Let's go quickly.

Yes, I told Dr. Chourdiya we are coming over.

We are going to ruin his Sunday as you can't control your tongue.

You are suffering and I am feeling nervous.

You went to Mandu for Shekhar's business, right?

Yes.

Wasn't he going to buy the fuel?

He probably forgot, poor guy.

He's not the poor guy, you are!

Go and stand there instead of the municipal corporation bin!

It says 'use me' on your forehead too.

Why do you grunts so much?

Either you grunt or you keep going on about Shekhar.

Darling, where are you going?

Just keep hovering around Shekhar.

-Darling, Dr. Chourdiya is waiting. -I won't come.

What do I say to him?

Why didn't you marry Shekhar?

Darling, I will get a taxi.

What are you doing?

Smile a bit.

Why are you looking so mournful?

You said bye for a short time then you will go to her.

By the way, I want you to stay at home.

Because when you are home, mom is fully focused on you.

So, I get time for Kunal. Do you get that?

Do you understand my calculations?

You're so self-centred.

Yes.

Yes, I have some news for you.

Yes, tell me.

No, I can't tell you like that.

I will meet and tell you. Where are you right now?

I am out right now.

I will meet you. We will meet this week.

This week?

Okay, fine. That will do. See you then.

Maneesh.

One minute.

I need to ask you a personal question.

Go ahead.

Why did you come back from Chicago?

Forget it.

Why do you want to know?

It's a waste of breath, that's all.

Anyway, it's all history.

We can't change it once we know it.

I mean, we could know and learn something from it.

Take it.

-Hello? -Hello, Mr. Kachra.

Kanak Sethi here.

Oh! Hi, sir.

Hello? Hi, sir. Good morning.

Morning.

I hope your family issue got sorted.

Yes, sir. It's all good now. Thanks for asking.

After our last meeting I was a little curious about you.

So, it's highly unusual that somebody bails on me twice.

I know, sir. I am really sorry about that. Actually...

No, no. It's okay.

I thought, I will check out your profile

and I also spoke to your ex-boss Ramesh.

How about we give this another go?

Do you have ten minutes?

Sure, sir. Could I have a minute, please?

Okay.

Yes, sir. We can talk now.

You're lucky to have a husband who peels oranges to feed you.

I did eat it.

Look at these amazing proposals coming up on our group!

The Bhardwaj group. That matches with us.

What's the use?

I beg you.

Please don't say anything to him, this time around.

He is worried about his job and the agency.

Listen, let's say if he finds a girl that would be good.

Don't say things like that.

He can't find a girl!

How old is he anyway? He's just 28!

He has two years to go before he turns 30.

Your calculations are strange.

Otherwise, he is getting way beyond the eligible age.

But speak of him finding a girl, and he is still too young.

Sir, where are you going?

Nowhere. I have had this for some time now.

It needs to get repaired. I will repair and sell it.

I don't play this anymore.

If you both need anything, give me a call.

Get some hot Kachoris if they are frying them.

Keep talking about food all the time.

Okay, I will get some.

Don't you think since Shekhar arrived, this one has improved too?

Yes, so he has.

Melons ripen with their own kind.

Don't cut a melon now.

It's not the season for melons.

Why are you talking about it, then?

Okay. Sure, sir.

Thank you so much.

Yes, mom, I ate it. Did you take both the meds?

And the syrup?

Okay, let me call you later.

Yeah, okay.

What's up, hero?

I got into HealthyFine.

What are you saying, hero?

Congratulations!

You did it! When do you join?

Next week.

Let's party.

What is it?

Actually, you were about to tell me something outside.

I got a call mid-way.

Come with me.

-Where to? -Just come along.

You still have a week, right?

Chill, have fun.

Spend some more time.

Maneesh, again?

Back to the game?

We aren't playing, brother.

Sit down at least.

Sit.

You know when I had a job what I missed most of all?

This stuff.

Sitting aimlessly, without doing anything.

I mean, those empty moments that you don't account to anyone.

Why? Because they are yours and not your company's.

I thought I should get you to experience it once.

So, you left everything and came back for these moments?

No, Shekhar.

But I wish

I could come back for that.

The thing is when you run blindly, you stop when you fall.

Do you want to know why I gave it up and came back?

♪ What do these teary eyes hide? ♪

♪ A sigh nestles in suppressed sighs ♪

♪ The words are not spoken, the feet halt ♪

♪ Say what is in your heart anyway ♪

♪ I have got what I wished for, what is the sadness for? ♪

♪ The words are unspoken, the feet halt ♪

♪ Say what it is, that is on your mind ♪

♪ Even the tears that flow by ♪

♪ were hidden at one point ♪

♪ What is the reason, why even today... ♪

♪ It still flows ♪

♪ It still flows ♪

That was fun!

I saw your marks.

-You killed it today. -Yeah!

Which means you top the mock test?

Tell me something new, you know?

You've grown so smart in my company.

Rascal, you're barely scraping through by learning by rote.

You've grown so smart...

Okay, listen. Parikshit was asking about the Pachmadi trip again.

Ask the family. You've scored well now.

They won't let me go.

Tell your brother to convince them.

How does my brother come into it?

He has his own troubles. I won't involve him in this.

So, I should go alone?

It's your wish.

I don't mind if you want to go with someone else.

I am not that kind of possessive girlfriend, you know?

Yeah, I spoke to Nikita.

Nikita and me, me and Nikita.

I will kill you! Nikita!

But seriously, please try.

Kunal, do you think I don't want to go?

I definitely want to go, but...

Mom won't allow it at all! No way.

That's the kitchen.

By the way, only veg food allowed.

Moving on, this is our common area. Isn't it cute?

This is the bedroom. I've set it all up. And that's my bed.

That's great. The bed looks great.

Yes. It is great.

But what is the use? Alone, all alone.

By the way, I got the job. HealthyFine.

When? How?

And you're telling me now? Shekhar! What?

Come on! I've told you now, right?

Did you tell the family?

Yeah, about that.

I didn't tell them yet.

Why?

This is what you wanted, right?

I don't know.

What is going on in your mind?

I can't figure it out.

I have been away from home for so long.

But I never thought staying at home would feel so good!

I have been here for the last two months.

I keep getting the thought, I'll leave all of this behind...

For what? For a job?

I mean.

Is it really worth it?

I get it.

But, Shekhar, just for one moment forget the past two months.

And think of what you always wanted in life?

Yes. Work for a company like HealthyFine.

That's it.

No, Ridhima! I forget about home for a moment.

But I will remember the family the rest of the time.

Out here, you know

the life is easy.

No issues about food, paying bills and the afternoon naps!

You know what? After so long I am at my own home

living like an actual family member.

If I leave now, I will turn into a guest again.

Sorry, I am talking something totally random.

I don't know. Just...

I am just confused.

I think that

what you feel just now it's just a phase.

While leaving home, one is bound to feel bad.

But...

I just think you need some time. Think about it.

And I am here if you want to talk.

Thanks.

Sir.

Sanjay Dwivedi would like to meet you.

Does he have an appointment?

No, sir. He doesn't have an appointment.

But he said, this is urgent.

It's a family matter, apparently.

-A family matter? -Yes, sir.

Where is he?

He is waiting outside.

You've got dandruff.

Yes, that happens in winter.

The camphor in the oil is feeling very cold.

I didn't add any camphor.

It must be the fenugreek.

-Listen. -Yes?

Poonam has 12,000 followers.

I don't even have 1200 yet.

Do one thing, call Poonam and ask her...

I did ask her.

She said I need to make my Insta game stronger.

Is that a new game which is out?

Press this shoulder. I will tell you.

Take advantage of the situation, why don't you?

-Mummy! -Yes.

Come, let's make your Insta game stronger.

That's my big boy in the house. Let me massage your head.

-Get up. -That's great.

-It's done, now get up. -You are done, dad. Please get up.

-Get up. -Come on, sit.

Come, it's been a long time.

-Explain from right here. Go on! -Yes.

Okay.

-Okay, so this is Insta snap, okay? -Okay.

You go there, okay?

-It's like Friendsbook. -Okay.

You can upload photos and videos, okay?

What's the use?

They take everything and make something new out of it.

Right here, focus here.

Look, we go to Aunt Poonam's page.

This is her page. Look at how much she has uploaded!

-Do you see? -So many.

She shot tiny videos of her songs and posted them.

And she used hashtags too.

Hashtags? What are those?

Hashtags mean...

Do you remember you came to fetch us at school?

You found, Sanju, me and Suruchi despite the crowd.

How come?

Oh, that? I gave all three of you bright orange bags.

So, I could spot you in a crowd.

Hashtags are like those bright orange bags, okay?

If anyone wants to find content related to this

you can spot it even in a crowd easily. That's all it is.

Wow! This is very good!

So, tell me, if I post a video, will the followers

know about it?

They will see it on their feed.

I mean, let me explain feed, one moment.

-Here, look. This is my feed. Okay? -Yes.

Now I follow people and I see whatever they post, here.

Which means, what they are doing, eating or where they go. Anything.

-Look at this. My friend Palash. -Yes.

-My friend from Bangalore. -Yes, that's right.

Now, he must have gone out to eat and put up this photo.

Now I can see this on my feed.

-See? -This is a nice place.

-It's nice. -Yes.

Then there is this.

-Shekhar, go back, please. -What was it?

-Go back. -Look at this.

This is... Go back?

-It must be one of my random pals. -Show me.

Give me your phone.

-You've got oil on your hands. -Shekhar Dwivedi, give it to me.

-Mom, let's-- -Give it to me.

-Let me see it. -Here you are.

-What is it? -Dad, no!

-It's just a game. -Give it to me.

-Back off! -What is it?

Oh God!

Kissing?

Let your young daughter take more liberties!

I told you! She is getting out of hand, but no way!

She is dad's princess and must be pampered and loved.

Do you see what it amounts to?

And you? Were you hiding this from me?

-Did you know about this? -Yes, mom.

Oh, God! I told everyone so proudly!

Look! My kids would never do this.

We don't know, but the world is watching! See?

Look at your dear daughter...

Mom, it is too much! You're on a tangent.

What does it have to do with studies?

How many times do I tell you my studies aren't affected?

The photo you saw was after I topped the mock test.

It was taken after that.

I see! So, the studies aren't being affected.

So should we wait for that to happen?

For you to fail because of your romance? Tell me!

You know how much CA classes cost. Does she know?

-Mom, please calm down. -Let her speak.

And on top of that, what kind of boy is he? A Punjabi!

She is kissing him!

Why are you speaking that way? It's just sick!

It was a light peck for the photo!

Dad, I swear I haven't done anything wrong.

She is yelling as if I went off and got married to him!

Why don't you?

After all the kissing what else is left?

There's lots to do.

What did she say? Did you hear that?

That's it! That is the last straw!

I sent you to study, but she is learning something else!

Learn from your brothers!

They aren't like you! They don't go out with girls!

Madhu.

It's okay. She's a child. She made a mistake.

She won't speak to that boy again.

You won't speak to him.

Of course.

Do you hear that?

You won't speak to that boy again.

Why not?

What kind of stricture is this? Did I commit a crime?

Dad, if Sanju and brother did this would you tell them to sit at home?

They would never do this.

They know what we are doing is right for them.

-They know that. -I have a girlfriend too!

The amazing thing is she is on the next level of forbidden.

Is she Sindhi?

She is divorced.

Sunny.

Your mom has BP.

Why are you still joking?

I am not joking, dad.

It's true and so I am telling you.

The joke is what is going on here.

I mean, it's 2022. What era do you guys live in?

Mom! It's 2022.

People date.

It's a kiss on the cheek. It happens, it's normal.

Gay marriages are legal now

and what are we stuck on? Sindhi, Punjabi, divorcee?

Listen to me, Shekhar.

You told us about being unemployed and we didn't say much.

But all this is not going to be allowed in this family.

-Do you understand? -What won't be allowed?

What is going on, is okay? That will do?

I swear, after one point, parents need to grow up with kids.

He's going to teach us now.

I am not teaching you anything.

Okay, tell me something. What can we talk to you about?

Tell me.

The weather, what was cooked today and how it tasted? That's it?

I am done, she is done and do you know what Sanju's going through?

We can speak about me later. Focus on them for now.

Yes.

He didn't dare to tell you anything.

But honestly, I mean...

We live in the family and feel like we are in a Mold.

Play here, eat and drink this, only talk about this.

Get out of the box and chaos will erupt.

That's why best to avoid it.

You've barely lived here for us to talk to you about this.

How long did you come for in a year? Six days!

You expect us to tell you our problems during that time?

Let's say we told you, would you try to solve them?

You used to leave on the seventh day.

No, no, no, dad! That's not true!

I didn't leave home to go and work.

You people sent me away.

You said, go out, work, get some money.

I am working, I am busy. How is that my fault?

Why are you getting involved?

-Stay busy. -Yes, stay busy. That's it.

-Just stay busy. -Okay.

I am glad, this is a good chance. I will keep busy.

I am leaving next week. I got hired. Happy?

Okay?

So go then.

Go on! Stay as you want.

Stay where you want.

Stay with whom you want.

-Just go! -What are you...

-Okay, I will stay with the one -Go!

Okay, I will stay with the one I want and do what I want.

What did you say? I come for six days in a year?

I do come since I think of it as home.

Let me tell you.

When Sukku gets hired outside she won't come home once

in six years. I can promise you that.

Ask her.

And why won't she come? Because of this.

I don't know what I was thinking. I am such a cunt!

-Hey! -Dad. Just let it go.

I am one, so I said it. No need to get outraged. Okay?

I used to think, I could maybe stay here.

It's a family, we'll live together and it would feel nice.

No. It's not possible.

It's good this drama happened. It was needed, you know?

It was crucial! Everyone realised it.

It's not difficult to stay out of the house.

It's difficult to come back here after so long and stay.

I can't stay here.

Let's go, Sukku. Come on.

Let's go.

That's not bad.

When do you leave?

The train leaves tomorrow.

What is this? Really?

The BMT guys said no. Roshan Ahmed said no.

How did they agree?

It's nothing, I did some research.

I found out that he is a family man.

His kids are his weakness and they love SP5.

He could not find it in the market so...

The heck with this, mofo!

You gave him your SP5?

I didn't give it. I invested it.

On the correct horse rider.

He did his best to get our job done.

He convinced his seniors.

And he is happy, and so are his kids.

I am happy here.

You... what kind of person are you?

Listen to me. I want to spend more time with this version of Sanju.

Do you get that?

Don't go.

Brother, please?

What?

So now back home only on Diwali?

Yes, probably that is it.

You can visit at some point.

Sure.

They won't let me go out. They will let me go to another city.

You know what mom's like.

She will come around.

It is difficult this time around.

The one who makes her come around is leaving.

It's time for me to leave.

Eat an orange.

This time, they are very sweet.

Right?

So, then you're leaving?

Yes.

It's a good company and a good job.

Besides, I have loans to pay off.

So, the job is essential now.

Listen to me.

If you need money, let me know.

We will send some.

I still have FDs.

It's okay for now.

I get it.

These days, boys don't want money from their dads after a point.

And so, you can keep

Rs. 100, with you.

Buy comics at some station.

Read them.

Did she leave the kitchen?

Listen, go upstairs and meet your mother.

Listen, just cuddle

and hug her a bit. Okay?

Okay?

Mom.

Do you want to know why I gave it all up to come back?

That job gave me everything.

I mean, at least all that I felt I wanted from life back then.

An indecent amount of money, a set career path.

Life in a foreign country. Everything.

Then, one day, dad fell ill here.

He had breathing trouble.

I spoke to the doctor on the phone.

He said he's a bit serious, not too bad.

I had a project running there and I was heading that project.

The workload was heavy.

I mean, you could say I had no time to breathe.

Would you believe what I said to the doctor?

I said that

if it gets worse, tell me. I will book a ticket and get back.

The next day mom called to say dad got worse, overnight.

Meaning...

He would not stay until I got back.

What could you do back then?

That's not the point, Shekhar.

The point is that during my dad's last moments

I prioritised my bloody job over him.

The guilt I feel about that

I can never forgive myself for that.

Well, I am not saying all this to discourage you.

Just assume, that life is all about race.

Getting a job is a race, and so is running your business.

Which race do we want to be part of? We choose that.

Just make sure of one thing.

Don't run so fast that

your loved ones faces get blurry.

Do you understand?
