It comes to my heart

That I fly away like a bird

After eating grains

I can return back to my home in evening

Sister, look.

How much?

Five rupees.

I have just two.

Keep it.

But...

Just two bucks in our pocket

But the world's
Under our thumb

We care two hoots
For joy or despair

Virtue and sin braided
In our hair

While we frolic without a care

'Cause we are like this

This is how we are

Our style is bliss

This is who we are

Each lane speaks of
A different God

One invokes Allah

One lane resonates Azaan

The next plays flute

While blood flows
In others veins

The Holy Ganges flows in ours

The sun or moon without
Our summon

Hide

Can't rise or set

I said 'hide'

Life's wheel in the
Hands of a brat

'Cause we are like this

This is how we are

We're almost Voguish

This is who we are

At the riverside we float

Look, sis, a boat

Life's too short

So never miss a ride

It's time you taste
Our city's flavor

Start with a dip in
The mother's arms

Sweet rabdi melts
Fingers and time

Noon brings intoxication
Of bhaang

Lips blush with the
Redness of paan

Simple pleasures
Meant to disarm

Patna or Paris, whatever
Your route

Swim here in your
Birthday suit

Visit for comfort or for cheer

Before death's arms
Carry you here

'Cause we are like this

This is how we are

This city is bliss

This is who we are

Hey, the match-maker

With her bag of proposals

Run with all your might

From her ungallant knights

Run quick!

Uncle Rajju's freeloading again.

His son is all muscle, no brain.

Greed is this duo's bane.

No. I hope God blesses them.

And keeps them far from us.

Your nagging makes me shudder.

You're more like a brother.

If you had a moustache so

Sis, I'd call you brother

If you, li'l sis, had a tail

You'd be a cow, just think
I would call you a cow.

Wonder why sis quit school?

To fight with mom?

No. To help her, fool.

Why must mother toil this way

Grinding life's miseries away

While father waits
At home all day

For money Goddess to smile his way

3-2-1-2-7-2.

I won.

Not 7-2, dad.7-1 .

Lost by a number, what fun.

Life can be a sad abyss

But never give your smile a miss

'Cause we are like this

This is how we are

I often wish to fly away

Like a bird, free as day

And bring back with the night

A few grains and some light

'Cause we are like this

This is how we are

Another classic sold to
the recycling world.

This book by Mahadevi Verma,
will probably wrap peanuts.

Lovely.

And this Premchand
might wrap spices...

This, Premchand had personally gifted
it to father.

Think I'll keep it.

But the weight is less. Please give.

Chaucer's naval lint.

These classic gems
are light weight for you?

Which classics?

Anything is classic these days.

This is literature, you jackass.

Not your dad's graffiti.

Don't get personal.

My shoe will get personal with your bum.

Your father's an old buddy of mine.

So?

So I know your tactics well.

You buy cheap and resell
at triple the rate.

Here, keep your gems.

You talk like you're selling
whole Benaras, not books.

-Bloody fool.
-Control yourself.

And for God sake change before
the film crew arrives from Mumbai.

Why bother?

I know what is going
to come out of it.

More than the treasure we get
from your silly lottery tickets.

Mom...

They're here.

-Greetings, uncle.
-It's okay.

This is Mr. Taneja and Miss Sophia
from Apex company

Hi.

Wow. That's awesome.

Please sit.

Pink lace.

This is the latest fashion on MTV.

Hello. You're Mrs. Sahay's daughters?

And your names?

I'm Vibhavri and...

I'm Shubhavri.

Do you see shooting everyday?

Shooting is my job.

So you must be meeting Shahrukh Khan?

No, not till now.

But you must have seen him
while coming and going

-In the market or during his morning walk?
-No.

-Sophia.
-Yes?

-Just look here.
-Coming.

-But somewhere-
-I'll talk to you later.

Always Shahrukh, Shahrukh.

Pappu, hope you have explained to them
we don't want any breakages.

Look Aunt, they're paying you well,
aren't they?

They just want uncle's room and
chandelier and all in the living room

Your uncle will never agree.

I thought you needed money,
so I got them here.

-But if it's a bother, I'll...
-No, no.

I'll convince your uncle.

If you will, then it's okay.

I just hope they like this house.

Please don't show them other places.

When I'm here, why do you worry, aunty?

Mom, tea's ready.

-I want to shoot in the temple
-It'll be done.

-Ma I'm serving. Sophia, tea?
-Thank you.

My dear, please eat something.

-Chutki...
-Biscuit?

Please take, they've got cream inside.

Aunty, this tea tastes very nice.
What's in it?

Ganga Jal.

Ganga Jal?

Come on uncle. That's a joke, no?

-Funny, isn't he?
-Mr. Sahay, I was saying...

The schedule's for 30 days...

So we'll pay you 50 grand.

Fifty thousand?

Just for you, I'll make it 75 thousand.
Is that okay?

One hundred and seventy five.

This house is 175 years old.

There were 3000 books in it's library.

Most of it, my father donated
to the Banaras Hindu University.

We'll take care of the electricity bill.

-Okay.
-I'm sure you have a phone.

Just get STD. It's quite cheap these days.

Even I have heard that.
How much will that cost?

A buck per minute.

-Okay.
-Very cheap.

So Banaras has a real Maharaja?

How pretty.

This is called a jhumka, right?
Where did you buy it?

From a neighbor's lane.
I'll get you a pair too.

Really? How sweet.

What else do you get here?

Our spicy Kachori lane is world famous.
We'll take you there.

Here's 20 thousand, as advance.
Please count.

Please sign the receipt, here.

SM, I need to see
a traditional mujra for research.

-Mujra?
-Mujras are illegal now.

Though Dulari Bai will have a private
performance tomorrow at lawyers house.

-But ladies are not allowed.
-Hey, what?

We'll take you there.

I lost my little pearl, O'Lord

Wow. Superb costume.

She's so beautiful.

You'd look prettier if we decked you up.

Quiet.

I lost my little pearl, O' Lord

I wonder where it could be

First the ancestral jewelry...

Now you're after this house.

I'd sell it all in an eye blink.
But there's no such luck.

But Brother Rajju has a legal
noose around our necks.

I know we're going to lose our home
when the hearing begins.

You're pigeon hearted.

All of Benaras knows that
Rajju was thrown out by dad.

Will the court take the
city's word for it?

I know he is good for nothing.

But legally, he's elder
and real brother too.

This house is like a white elephant.

At least earned us 75 thousand
from the shoot.

Money, money, money.

Yes, money.

This is what troubles me day and night.

So, what can I do?

They stopped my pension
because I wasn't corrupt.

You tell me, should I have succumbed
to dishonesty?

Never.

But you can only see chandeliers.

Not people. I sew through the night.

Badki had to quit school.

And have to struggle
to pay the chutki's fees.

I lost my little pearl

Oh my, look at her swagger.

Quiet.

I lost my little pearl, Oh, Lord

Soaked in Kahwa

We're in Dulari Ji's room.

My eyes, my face seem the same.

So what is it that I have lost, Nasiban?

You must have lost that only...

that the rich seem to have gained
from you.

Come here, little mouse.

Come here.

What were you hiding and seeing?

Mother says, Dulari doesn't dance.

She makes the rich dance to her tunes.

But I saw you dancing.

Ma is right. Kiddo's blind.

Stop it, you two.

I apologize on their behalf.

Such crystalline eyes.

I hope the Lord protects
their innocence.

Come on, sis.

Mother will eat you alive.

That's if she finds out.

How do I ask him,
O' how I blush

O lord

Like we need another black sheep.

A bleating one at that.

Why did you go there?

Mom, father will hear you.

You keep shut.

Mom, don't wake father.

Father? No one gives a
damn about the mother.

O how sis blushes

You brat.

Sis.

Enough, ma.

It's really late.

Go to sleep.

How can I sleep with so
much work pending?

You sleep.

And tomorrow get the payment
for the whole consignment.

-Hello.
-Hello.

May we get the whole
payment this time?

They're 25 medium and
35 large petticoats.

I'll give you half now, half later.

But mother was hoping...

Sir, there's a bulk order.

Give her half the payment now.

-All right?
-Yes.

Awesome digestion, bro.

Hogged the entire film crew
money without a burp?

What do I know? Ask her.

I hope you know I'm still alive.

It's your addictions
and this roguish behavior

that compelled your father
to throw you out.

-For him you were-
-Not dead yet.

This house is sub-judice.

When we win, you'll be out in a flash.

And remember, half the film money is mine.

How about half the expenses?

You claimed the house a minute
after father-in-law died.

Do you really care so much for this house?

The house weeps in the monsoons.

The roof will probably
fall this time.

And this courtyard...

Enough, Sabitri.

Why don't you stop him for a change?

Chill, dad.

She only understands legal jargon.

The eviction notice will knock
some sense into them.

That film money will bring
you bad luck, aunt.

Let's go, dad.

Impudent boy.

I'm being bullied by the child
I helped deliver.

And you're watching
all this drama silently?

Drama?

If I had a robust son like him
maybe I'd have a voice today.

They're rascals, not relatives.

Rascals listen to money or muscles.

We have neither.

But there must be some way.

Mom, what's there to eat?

I'm hungry.

Did you get the entire payment?

No, ma. He said next time.

I'll set that fatty right.

Shut up.

I'll lose my only client.

Why are you always so scared?
What happened?

Brother Rajju and Ratan had come.

Ma...

So, what happened?

Stop lying. I'm not your step-daughter.

Didn't Ma tell you we
found you in a gutter?

Ma...

Now I'm really hungry.

Stupid candles.

Where are the candles, ma?

ln the drawer.

Which one?

The consignment will be incomplete.

But other homes have power.

Did you pay the bill?

How?

Can't we use some of the
film crew money, ma?

Counter no. 2 will stamp the receipt
after you pay the money.

And you'll have power in two hours.

I'll do it, father.

Uncouth.

What's up?

Lives in a palace, acts like a King.

And doesn't have a penny
to pay for electricity.

Cranky old fart.

How dare you? What did he say?

-Nothing, sir.
-What do you mean?

What did you say?

I said nothing wrong.
Beggars don't give speeches.

Worthless clerk.

Don't know your backside
from your head.

Don't make me humiliate you.

I know your class.

Father.

What a wretch.

What's the matter?

His power was cut due
to bill non-payment.

Showing us attitude.

Just take this money.

But, sir.

I don't want money.

I want an apology.

Father.

Mom, hurry. The rickshaw's here.

Hello.

We were just going to the hospital.

What's the matter?

They have a problem.

Don't worry, I'm sure she'll understand.

Last night, some people protested
outside our hotel.

I don't understand.

Mrs. Sahay, the shoot's cancelled.

We can't shoot anywhere
in this city now.

Ma, let's leave.

But the advance?

You'll have to return that, aunty.

-Ma...
-Quiet.

Return?

I really feel bad.

So all your big talks
amount to zero?

I'll get the money.

-The director's a coward.
-How's that our problem?

Don't worry about a thing, father.

Mom will be here any second now.

I was in charge of crowd control.

Even got permission to shoot
at the river. What a waste.

Money seems a little less.

It's okay. I'll consider it
cancellation charges.

Shall we leave, mom?

Good bye.

Sis, why don't you rest? I'm here.

Okay.

Mother.

There's a new problem
at every step.

How much can I mend?

I can't do this anymore.

The film crew money
was a slight relief.

I felt I could breathe for a while.

What will I do now?

Nothing.

It's my turn to do something.

Like what?

A job.

A school drop-out won't get a job.

No one cares about that
in Bombay, mother.

Bombay?

Alone, in that city?

No. With Sophia from the crew.

That tailess chimp?

Yes. It's all set.

They'll pay me eight thousand.

Eight thousand?

A job in Bombay?

Even I wanna go!

Eavesdropping again?

Don't tell dad, you snitch.

Where will you live, my darling?

I told you it's all fixed with Sophia.

Sophia?

All fixed and you never
told me anything?

Never got a chance, ma.

How much could I earn
from sewing petticoats there?

Mother...

You have a petticoat for brains.

Sis?

I'm not naive like ma.

-Tell me the truth.
-You heard.

Tell me the truth.
Did you really speak to Sophia?

I was with you throughout.

Tell me.

So l'll talk to her. Now sleep.

Hello, Sophia. It's me Vibha.

Oh. Hi.

The job is confirmed, right?

What job?

Thank you, Sophia.

What?

And stay with you?

You out of your mind?

If you insist.

Mother will be so relieved.

What?

See you. Thanks.

Hey.

Totally crazy, man.

What happened?

I think that chick from
Banaras is coming here.

Will her father allow that?

Father...

You won't achieve a thing
and will return a loser.

Wants to be a son.

Always wanted a son, right?

I'll become one.

And I won't return a loser, watch me.

Drink water after you've eaten.

Don't worry, Mom.

Say hi to Sophia for me.

Go in, daughter.

Study hard, li'l sis.
And take care of father.

And tell him...

What?

Nothing. Take care, ma.

I'll get there and call you.

Send me a snap of Mannat.

What's that?

Shahrukh Khan's bungalow.

Idiot.

Either I'm on cloud or have left my home

No, we are in full swing it's our day

Either I'm on cloud or have left my home

No we are in full swing it's our day

Who? Where?

Whom?

To meet whom?

There's a Sophia here.

Sophia? Ten.

She returns at 10:00.

Daughter?

It's 10:00 p.m.

So?

She hasn't called yet.

Train must be delayed.

That's it. Just stop here.

You have a visitor, ma'am.

Mine? Who?

I don't know.

Shit!

Vibha.

Sophia...

Babe, you can't just land
up without calling.

I had.

But that was...

Come up now.

What can I do? She just landed up.

Don't know how long.
A week I guess.

Yeah, I'll handle it. Okay, bye.

Vibha.

I promised to get you earrings.

Oh, yeah.

Thanks.

How sweet.

Who is it?

Karan is my name.

What do you want?

Molesting girls is my game.

Sophia, open the damn door.

It's me Karan, man.

Wrong flat? Right flat.

Get aside, excuse me!

Hang on a sec.

I see why my name and passport
number were being asked.

I'm Karan.

I live downstairs.

I'm Sophia's friend.

Where is she?

At a shoot.

And you?

Too many clothes.
So can't be a model.

Not her type, so can't be Sophia's friend.

So you are Tina, Mina or...

Vibhavari.

Very good.

Just arrived from Banaras .

So Vibs, tell Sophia...

The beer has arrived,
so let's party tonight.

Please give her the message.

Bottle.

Oh, yeah. Bottle.

Party, my foot.

Picks up free booze from office
and hogs a mini country at my place.

Do you know call centers?

He's a Group Leader there.

Gets 50-60 grand a month,
with these perks.

I've got a job for you tomorrow.

Really? What do I have to do?

Where the hell is Sasha?

Get her fast.

Hey, where's Sasha?

She's in the bathroom.

For 45 minutes?

I didn't want to disturb her.

Why can't you follow instructions?

Sasha, open up.

What are you doing?

What?

Hurry up.

Hey guys! Move.

I can't take you back.

You got in everybody's way.

lt was my first time,
I was nervous.

In Bombay no one gets a second
chance or a training period.

No more shoots for you, sorry.

A friend of mine owns a salon
Needs a temp for four days.

You wanna?

Oh, yes.

Okay.

-It's your sister.
-Chutki...

Hello, Chutki.

Hi, sis.

Guess what. Three ruffians
caught us on the road...

And said vacate your house.

Why would we leave our own home?

Shut up.

Wasting precious blood
should be avoided.

Or I could choke this
sparrow with my pinky.

This city has gone to the dogs.

We should all come to Bombay.

Or you come back.

Stop your silly prattle.

Please don't listen her.

I've borrowed from
too many people.

We might need a lawyer too.

Can you
send us some money?

Sure, ma.

Could you put sis back on?

Sure.

Hi, sis.

You're afraid of ruffians now?

I wasn't scared.

But ma was there so...

Now tell me about your office.

My office is in a skyscraper.

Haven't seen Shahrukh's house yet.

But soon, I promise.

Loads of TV stars
in my neighborhood.

What a city. And the
people are lovely.

Car?

l'll get one real soon.

Lingerie?

Laundry?

Lingerie, don't you get it?

No laundry here.

Can I help you, ma'am?

Why can't you hire English
speaking people?

I'm looking for the lingerie section.

l'll show you the right section.

Our salesgirls must know English.

You won't achieve a thing.

You'll return a loser.

Wants to be a son.

Always wanted a son, right?

I'll become one.

I won't return a loser.

Watch me.

Vibs...

It's me Karan.

Hi. Come in.

Hang on, buddy.

Sit.

Vibs, this is Michelle.

Michelle, this is Vibs...

I mean Vibhavari.

The new inmate of Bombay prison.

Hi.

Hello.

-Do you know of any-
-Jobs?

No way.

I wouldn't inflict my weird boss on you.

But you know so many people.
Help her out.

Have a resume?

We'll make one.

For now, take down these
contact numbers.

We'll figure it out.

Not a graduate?

Any computer skills?

Not yet.

But I'm a very quick learner.

We'd shut shop in a day if we started
teaching everyone who walked in.

No qualifications, no skill.
This resume is useless.

So you're clueless about Event Management.

Karan's such a weirdo.

We'll call if something comes up.

Please file this.

See you.

Sir.

You're Shivshankar Sahay?

Court's notice for you.

'Shivshankar Sahay, son of
Rudra Shankar Sahay

is served a notice of eviction

by Rajshankar Sahay, son
of Rudra Shankar Sahay,

to leave the premises by 7th March

and until a verdict is passed...'

Sir...

-Ma'am?
-What happened?

I don't know what's happening to him.

I try to find you

My heart heavy with dreams

Hello, ma'am.

Where were you?

My room mate's back tomorrow.

So you'll have to leave, ok?

But where will I go?

Figure it out, babe.

But where...

Relax. This is Bombay.

There's a solution for every problem.

By the way, your mom had called.

Karan?

I need a job, now.

Need a job now. Wake up.

Let me meet your boss.

What for? Your qualifications--

I'd like to try once.

Vibs, if it's money, I can give...

It's not about money.

It's about a promise I made
to my family and myself.

I can't go back.

Please help me.

-Karan...
-Sir.

You'll get the papers for...

Hi.

I'm K.K. Gupta and...

This is Vibha, sir.

I gave you her resume.

but you felt she's underqualified.

Come sometime later, okay?

No, no. It's alright.

Did you finish school?

No, sir.

There are always exceptions.

But, sir...

You have a problem?

No, sir.

Come into my office.

You should've attached
a photograph here.

Damn.

Daughter, ask someone.

Vibhavari Sahay.

Knitting and sewing.

What else can you do?

I did some typing in school.

Used to get great marks in English.

But never got to converse in it.

But I'm very hardworking, sir.

I'll learn everything
in a heartbeat.

I like that. In a heart beat.

Anyone from the Sahay family?

Yes.

We need one more oxygen cylinder.

Why?

Hang on, Ma.

All these medicines are needed?

Yes, and immediately.

Ma, give me some money.

But...

Ma, think later...

200 won't be enough.

You get going, I'll arrange for more.

You don't have the qualifications.

But don't worry.

You have a lot more.

Come on.

I'm sure you understand.

Don't you?

We can make an exception,

if you wish.

Sir?

lt goes like this.

I'm a lonely man.

So why don't you spend
a night with me?

Do that...

And the job's yours.

Right here, right now.

Come on, it's a deal.

Don't you want the job?

Yes?

Ma? It's me.

Now you call back?

Your father is really ill.

We've got a court notice.

Ma, I'm coming back.

People are wretched here.

Stop ranting.

'Nice' people don't exist.

Did you send some money?

Your father needs
a better hospital.

Ma, there's no job. No office.

No job?

No, Ma.

You lied?

Your father was right.

How can you be a son

if you can't face a tiny hurdle.

But Ma, you're not listening.

I hear you.

They'll give me a job only if I...

My gold chain?

Spend the night with them.

There's nothing left to pawn.

-Ma, I'm returning.
-No.

You can't.

You're an adult now.

Do what you think is right.

But Ma?

My gold chain.

Lord...

Hello.

Daughter, I'm sorry.

No, this is Sophia.

Sophia.

Is my daughter there?

Nope.

Where is she?

Doesn't live here any more.

Doesn't live there?

Nope. Bye.

Vibha?

It's me, Chutki.

Yes, daughter.

Why haven't you left yet?

I'm waiting at the hospital.

I'm on my way.

Vibs, you don't have to do this.

You're not like other girls, dammit.

I hope Mr. Gupta doesn't
complain about that.

Shit.

Hi. Come in.

Come on.

You are beautiful.

Ma?

Why are you working in the dark?

What's the matter?

Ma?

So what time tomorrow?

Same time, same place, if you wish.

I meant to work.

What time?

Oh, your job.

I'm so sorry.

Want a drink?

Well, Vaibhavi, Vibha.

I can't give you that job.

Not with your qualifications.

But you-

Company won't accept it.

But you promised me a job, sir.

So what?

A beautiful girl like you
makes a man promise anything.

No, sir.

You know how it is.

You can't do this.

Don't you worry though.

You promised me a job, sir.

I've got something for you.

Ten thousand rupees for two hours.

No, sir. I want a job
like you promised.

You can't go back on your word.

Bloody bastard.

That bloody piece of shit.

Ma.

My child.

How's father?

Fine. How are you, child?

I was tense when you'd called.

I don't know what I said.

That decision has been made, ma.

Take care of father.

Now where? Sophia's?

Hello? Hi, Michelle.

I needed a favor, babe.

Could Vibha stay at your
place for a few days?

If you don't mind.

Thanks so much, Michelle.
You're such a sweetheart.

Key's in the usual place?

The usual place? Okay.

Come in.

This is Michelle's pad.

Stay for as long as you wish.

She'll be here soon.

Will you be okay?

See you.

I'm sorry.

You will return a loser.

Can't give you that job.

Wants to be a 'son'.

You can't return.

Wants to be a son.

You're an adult.
Do what you think is right.

A beautiful girl makes a
man promise anything.

Such crystalline eyes.

Do what you think is right.

May the Lord...

I'm so sorry.

Protect their innocence.

Go mad thinking about it, or
play their game on your terms.

You decide.

Come on, snap out.

Karan's told me everything.

-I've lost, Michelle.
-No, you haven't lost.

Not yet.

Listen to me.

They can break your trust,
breaking your spirit is on you.

You can't let them break your spirit.

The same spirit which brought
you here to achieve something.

You will find a Gupta at every step.

But if you want you could
use them instead.

And they won't be able
to touch your soul.

Do you hear me, Vibha?

No.

Not Vibha.

If you decide to do this
you'll need a new name.

Shaina or Natasha?

I'll talk to you later.
Someone's here. Bye.

Hi.

You forgot your money last night.

What?

What is it?

Don't try those tricks.

Black mail and all.

I get it.

That's all I have right now.

Though you're worth
much more, right?

You couldn't afford me if you sold
yourself to the highest bidder.

Next time, pay the full
price for your whore.

Don't break someone's
trust with a lie.

Natasha.

My new identity will be Natasha.

Right.

Now remember.

You don't belong to the streets.

You're a high level escort.

Top of the heap.

Exclusive and very expensive.

Hey, hold on.

Are you out of your mind?

Do you have an idea
what you're talking about?

Vibs, this is not your cup of tea.

You won't be able to
bear a life like this.

You have no idea what this entails.

-Listen, Karan.
-One sec, Michelle.

Hold on.

-Vibs, don't listen to her.
-This is my decision, Karan.

In the midst of a storm,
My feet are still

Each breath choked,
My voice is mute

I fight to live, defeated
By self

I am the mirror
And it's drugged reflection

I've fallen from grace

How do I hide my tainted self?

I've fallen from grace

How do I find my way back home?

I've fallen

Like white noise,
It echoes inside

Like the devil
It snakes inside

As I try to piece
My shattered soul

I am my modesty, it is my veil

We are tainted, we are torn

From untouched modesty
Of an untouched self

I've fallen

How do I look them in the eye?

How do I find my way back home?

How do I hide my tainted self?

Hi, I'm Natasha.

Sis, has sent us so much money, look?

Father, sis has sent us money.

I've ended
I've ceased

I'm black
I'm white

I'm the sand in a rainless cloud

The black of the night
The flicker of the flame

I'm a dream

An apparition

My own shadow I fear

Like a damp twig
I burn I sear

I am illusion
I am shade

I am flesh
I am soul

I am still

I am mute

I am resolved

Like your new apartment?

It's really nice.

Not as gorgeous as you.

But I guess, it'll have to do.

See you soon.

Bye.

0-6-5-8

That's what I call a lottery.

He asks about you daily.

Let me talk.

Shall I?

Hello?

Hello, father...

How are you, daughter?

Just don't worry about
money anymore.

We'll get the best lawyer possible.

All right.

Have the house repairs begun?

In full swing.

Please get marble.

But that's expensive, child.

Doesn't matter.

I've got to take another call, father.

Go ahead, daughter.

Wait till Brother Rajju meets
our hotshot lawyer in court.

The lawyer won't take
less than ten thousand.

But Vibha insists we go with him.

She's a son now. Our son.

Dad's hogged all the snacks
Can I have some more?

What's up?

lsn't everything okay now?

I've fallen from grace

Your uncle has hired
the city's top lawyer.

He doesn't have the balls.

He's grown them overnight.

What's the source of this windfall?

Putting marble in their courtyard.

How?

Have you met my PR associate? Natasha.

I hope you'll join us
for the conference.

Of course, she will.

What conference?

The Patents and Trademarks
conference is in Zurich.

You're coming.

But you didn't even tell me.

I was going to.

-Hello, Natasha.
-Hi.

Hello, Sunil, my boy.

Are you going to tell
us about your project?

I'm just about to make
a short presentation.

Get to work, idiot.

Sophia?

Sorry for the delay, ma'am.

Vibha?

You're totally changed.

Looking damn good.

Why didn't you call?
Maybe because I moved.

Clearly your life's rocking.

While I'm still stuck
in the same rut.

I wish I had your luck.

Don't even wish that by mistake.

Natasha.

Natasha?

You're really lucky for me, Natasha.

You've made every contract, every
collaboration a success

Just a coincidence.

A businessman shouldn't
be superstitious.

Businessmen don't like risks.

You'll get the Zurich tickets tomorrow.

Hello, Ma.

How are you, my child?

I'm well.

Any problem?

I hope the money reached you?

Yes.

Your sister has graduated
with flying colors.

Really?

She'll get a great job.

Your father's well too.

Everything's fine.

Come back, my child.

Come home.

What are you saying, Ma?

Haven't you understood yet?

I can never come back.

Ever.

Has sis called?

Hello?

Shucks. Got disconnected.

Victory to Hanuman who is the ocean of
wisdom and virtues.

Victory to the king of nonkeys
who is illuminating three worlds.

-Three worlds!
-Three worlds.

You are the messenger of Rama.
You are the abode of incomparable power.

-Son of Anjana and son of Kama.
-Son of God of Wind.

I'm going to die because
of your stupidity.

If I knew I was going to fly,
I would've mugged up.

Ladies and gentlemen,
this is your captain.

We're experiencing some turbulence.

Kindly fasten your seatbelts.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's just an air pocket happens.

Is that why my hand is turning blue?

Sorry.

So you're here on work.

Yes. On a Trademarks and
Patents conference.

-Your coffee, ma'am?
-Thank you.

-Sugar?
-No, thank you.

Life never ceases to amaze me.

Now what are Trademarks and Patents?

When big companies are done
manipulating developed countries

they start exploiting
developing countries

through Trademarks and Patents.

Good morning.

The city of Bern welcomes all the
delegates of the World Patients--

Patents and Trademarks...

-Hi there.
-Hi.

How was your flight?

Interesting.

Good.

The renowned Patents and
Trademarks attorney from lndia.

Mr. Rohan Verma.

Good heavens.

Good morning. It's a pleasure
to see you all here today.

Everyone sees Patents and
Trademarks in their own unique way.

But I heard an entirely
original definition of this today.

We might understand developing
economies slightly better.

When big companies are done
manipulating developed countries.

What happened? Do you know him?

Not really.

Hello.

You're such a liar.

I don't even know you, Mr. Verma.

But I know you.

You like sugarless coffee.

Very devout.

I know how you look asleep.

I know everything.

There you are.

Have you two met?

Rohan this is Natasha, our new PR
and Business Manager.

-Hello, Natasha.
-Hello, Rohan.

I'll take your leave.

Have to go to Nice tomorrow.

So why don't you take a day off.

-Okay.
-Just chill.

See ya later.

-Take care. Have a good flight.
-Thank you.

So, what's the plan?

Plan?

What will you tell
Chicky and Micky?

Who?

Your grandchildren.

I went to Switzerland

and I explored the hotel room
and the airport.

As opposed to?

As opposed to the real Switzerland.

The Alps, the churches.

The quaint restaurants.

Where you get the world's
best cheese fondue and rosti.

That's it. I'm hungry.

Change. Meet you in five.

I hate these conferences.

Me too.

Really?

What else do you hate?

Pumpkin or banana?
Bottle gourd or bitter gourd?

Litter bugs. Smelly cabbage.

And what do you like?

Hot tea in earthen cups.

Holi revelry.

The smell of wet earth.

A couplet maybe.

Evening by the river.
The festival shiver.

Old film songs.

Maybe an ex-flame?

Your turn. Cricket or football?

None at all.

Blue skies.

Pine and maple.

Oh, come on. Bikini or shorts?

Anything blue.

Make a song

Smile along

A stranger in a strange land

Was your friend all along.

Make a song

Smile along

Steal a moment from life

It's time to play along

Make a song

In a juicy paan's medley

I was at the Ganges merrily

When a stranger came along

And struck my heart temporarily

To drown in mystic eyes was fated

Magic, mirage, or was I intoxicated

Such naughtiness in a
Foreign land can't be clever

Behave, have you no
Shame whatsoever?

Make a song

Smile along

Come along

Steal a few sunny beams

From your wild dreams

Make a song

It's a tiny happy drop
In an eternity

That's life's ironic ditty

This is what will stay with you

So make it count, make it true

I was swept away by a rogue wave

The colors, the sights,
The effects were grave

See this medley of colors,
This incredible fusion

A new song, a happy confusion

Make a song

Smile along

A stranger in a strange land

Was your friend all along

Make a song

I'm craving hot ginger tea and pakodas.

Oh, man.

Kachori, samosas, jalebi and parathe.

Croissant, sir?

Oh, no. Yes, please.

Hello? Michelle?

Who?

Excuse me, may I have
your pen, please?

Yeah, okay.

Excuse me.

Sir, ma'am says she won't
be able to join you.

Enjoy your breakfast
and have a nice day.

Hello?

Ratan speaking.

Are you dumb or mute?

I'm right here.

Arrived before time.

Bless this swank car.

Your job's truly lucrative.

The chicks back home
dance for peanuts.

Don't talk rubbish.

Well, that's the heart
of the matter.

Now I know the source
of uncle's windfall.

Brother.

Don't call me that.

You didn't come all this
way to tell me this.

So I'll come to the point.

If the truth of your job was
to come out in Banaras

your father would be the first to...

What do you want?

Money.

How much? Take it and leave.

Not so fast.

Here's a letter to your bank.

instructing them to transfer 25 grand
to our account every month.

Twenty five thousand?

It's not much.

I know your rate per night.

Now sign.

But no one back home
can know anything.

How do I know you will
keep your word?

No guarantees there.

But only a fool kills the goose
that lays golden eggs.

And I ain't no fool.

Sister...

This city doesn't know
what's going to hit it.

Now that we're together
we're going to paint this town red!

How come you?

You're stammering out
of excitement, sis.

I've got a job here.

I'm a management trainee
at Matrix Advertising.

But how'd you enter...

I had to plead
with the watchman.

And Ma tried calling you so much.

Anyway...

Look at your castle, sis.

You must get me a job like
yours in event management.

We're going to have a blast, aren't we?

'Cause we are like this

Are you going to be
a brat at work too?

Absolutely.

Sis, how did you find
a mini Banaras here?

This is Baan Ganga.

Whenever I miss home,
I come here. Do you like it?

Now this is home.

This is who we are

I welcome the trainees
to their first session.

Lux. This agency's biggest brand.

Here's a sample of their
target audience.

Vivaan.

For God sake, wake up, man.

Vivaan's dead. Death by boredom.

So your task is to capture the
consumer so tightly in your fist

that she doesn't dream
of another soap.

Sir. Not in our fist... In our heart.

What's your name?

Shubhavari Sahay.

Continue, please.

We can't win our target audience's
heart by not respecting them.

I mean, she's more than a statistic, sir.

We need to understand her
dreams and aspirations

and make a place for
ourselves in her heart.

We're the ones in her fist.

Vivaan.

She's got brilliant insights.

Vivaan can handle the creative.

As a team, they'll rock.

Yeah.

Oh, Shubhavari. Yes, sir.

Meet Vivaan tomorrow morning

and get a complete low
down on the Lux campaign.

Okay, sir.

Good luck.

Babe, you're lucky.

I've been lusting over
Vivaan for two years

and you're already in.

God. He's hot.

Yeah.

Looks like he hasn't
showered for a month.

And advertises soap.

So you give him a scrub.

This is his last campaign.

He's being posted to Paris after this.

You're so lucky.

He's the lucky one.

He got to work with me.

I floored those Bombayites on day one.

Weren't you nervous?

And where did you learn all this?

I wasn't flying kites in my MBA course.

Sis, where did you learn
such fab make-up?

I wasn't flying kites
for so long in this city.

But, sis be careful here.

This is not Banaras .

That's what's so great.

New city, new life, new people.

Anything can happen.

Exactly. Anything can happen.

So you haven't liked anyone so far?

Be honest.

Not in this city.

So where did you like someone?

I'm off, sis.

Come on. I've come and you're going.

You know event management
has crazy time lines.

Bye.

Everyone's in a rush, Ma.

Like they're in a race.

Oh, Lord.

And the city's full of loony characters.

You got me, dude.

The lndian woman herself, Shubh.

Shubhavari.

I'll call you Shubhi.

I'm Vivaan.

Hi.

I'm sorry. I don't hug
on my first meeting.

So, what's up?

Well...

Hello.

What time?

Eight? Cool. See ya.

So you know all about the
modern lndian woman.

What do you think about her?

Sir-

Vivaan, please.

Vivaan...

I know as much about her as you do

about this lady.

She's modern, but probably not Indian.

And this one's modern?

Yes.

Sunita Jadli, MD Gynaec,
runs her own hospital.

She's the modern lndian woman.

And the potential consumer of Lux.

The one you want to
capture in your fist.

Not in our fist.

Like you said...

In our heart.

Yeah. ln our heart.

So what's the difference
between the two chicks?

One will spend five grand
in an evening.

-the other in the entire-
-Want some coffee?

Two coffees, kiddo.

Quickly...

So they're coffee buddies now.

Vivaan is Vivaan.

Your Indian woman definition's warped.

These chicks are merely Indian,
not modern.

It's so typical. Just like a man.

You judge a book by it's cover.

If clothes were the parameter
then you'd be a complete...

Loser?

Yeah. You should be.

Who can tell that this mayonnaise
dripping freak

is the creative director
of a big agency?

Where are the frikkin' coffees?

Why are you smiling?

I just figured you out.

You figured me out?

You're a male basher.
You hate men.

I don't.

You do. You don't know it.

-I don't hate men.
-Hello.

Today's Tuesday?

I'm in the car, man.

Alrighty, ma'am, gotta go.

May we continue your discourse later?

I hate men.

I told you.

You hate men.

I just love Bombay, Ma.

If we were all together,
we'd have a blast.

It's beautiful.

No, I haven't been able
to see Shahrukh yet.

Yeah, sis and I are going
out for dinner.

Sis, look. Call girls.

Nothing, Ma. Talk to you later.

Look, sis.

I wonder where my pearl

Stop it. They're girls, just like us.

With just different circumstances,
compulsions.

Sorry, sis. Nothing justifies this.

Choose anything but not this.

I don't agree.

How can you disagree?
Of course, this is a date.

This is not a date.

So I was joyous for nothing?

I was sure the lndian woman's
changed when you asked me out.

What are we doing here?

My assignment.

Of course, your assignment.

I need to show you the
real lndian woman.

Though the Indian male is changing too.

He actually buys a new shirt sometimes.

-Nice?
-Very nice.

Nice tags too.

-l'll do it.
-No, I've...

-I've got it.
-No, I've got it...

Look at her.

Nice. Hot. Sexy. Slim.

And works out like a beast daily.

Obsessed with one thing. Dieting.

Dieting?

I'm sure it's fat free.

Look at those ladies.

They're hands are in pizzas

but their minds are in
yummy road-side snacks.

Yummy. Hrithik's yummy, isn't he?

No. John's hotter.

And her? ln a tearing rush.

Possibly late for her kid's PTA.

Rubbish.

Excuse me.

Are you in a rush?

Yes. I've a flight to catch.

A vacation?

No. I'm the pilot.

Spicy, snappy and so aggravating

She hit me like a bolt of lightning

Spicy, snappy and so aggravating

It's not working, man.

Come on, guys.

Think out of the box.

One second.

Just let that hair fall natural.

A little giddy

A tad silly

With rare serenity

Casts her charm on me,
This fiery chilli

Hello.

All set?

Shall we see the presentation once?

I don't have a presentation.

What do you mean?

Don't know.

I'm blank. Completely confused.

-My first presentation, my job...
-Okay, relax.

Look at you. Relax.

Go freshen up. Go.

But there's no...

No presentation. I know.

We'll figure it out.

Get yourself a cup of coffee.

Hi, guys.

The quintessential lndian Woman.

Who and where is she?

We looked for her for days,
but in the wrong places.

She's actually right here.

But we couldn't see her.

Computer and cell phone savvy

but she never fails to pray.

On top of things at work

but family comes first.

She's groomed and dressed
for success

but her smile is
her biggest asset.

Honestly, she's got it, and
she's got the face for it.

The new average Jane is a
bombshell with a brain.

Nothing and no one
can stop her flight.

And that's the Lux woman
we're looking for.

The one we wish to capture
in our heart, not our fist.

This daft boy, half crazed

Has set my heart ablaze

This daft boy, half crazed

Has set my heart ablaze

An occasional stammer

Sings with such candor

Such a lying enchanter

Cast his net on me, silly gander

Sister, I'm going to Lugano.

Near ltaly, yes, on a shoot.

A wizard walked away
With my senses

Stupefied I dropped my fences

Chatty, naughty and full of beans

She'll drive you nuts
She's got the means

A little giddy

A tad silly

A prancing philly

Cast her charms on me
This fiery chilli

Silly billy

Spicy, snappy and so aggravating

She hit me like a bolt of lightning

This daft boy, half crazed

Has set my heart ablaze

An occasional stammer

Sings with such candor

Such a lying enchanter

Cast his net on me, silly gander

A green chilli in a vodka shot

O' Lord what a nuisance I've got

'Cause we're like this

This is who we are

Drinking with him is such a bore

But he saves me from
Villains galore

Usually grounded, he gets
High like a bird

And hides his dimples,
This bearded nerd

A little giddy

A tad silly

With rare serenity

Casts her charm on me,
This fiery chilli

Spicy, snappy and so aggravating

She hit me like a bolt of lightning

Good show, guys.
We have a winner.

Chutki...

Who's bike were you on?

Bike? Vivaan's...

I told you about him.

You've just stepped
into this city

and you're already
flirting with boys.

Sis?

What?

What do you know about him?

Who he is and what he's really about?

You don't know this city of wolves.

They'll tear you apart
and you'll break into so many pieces

you'll never be able to heal.

You'll be left with nothing.

Sis?

This is me your little sister.

What happened to you?

I'll tell you everything.
I'm dying to talk to you about it.

How about some tea and
Vivaan post-mortem?

Sis, could you pass
me some of that?

What?

-The dark stuff.
-Mustard seeds?

No, that...

Nigella Seeds?

What's that? No.

That brown stuff that
turns dark later.

Cumin seeds, sis.

Thank you.

Our tuning's awesome, isn't it?

Cumin in pasta?

What do the ltalians know.

Taste pasta Vivaan ala mode.

Incredible.

I've never had a more
delicious cumin pasta.

So I'm pretty and talented

and a pretty talented cook too.

So if the agency kicks you out in Paris

you can always start
a restaurant.

No, Paris is going to be tough.

Luckily Shubhi will be with me.

He's kidding, sis. He's gone mad.

What do you mean?

Nope, I'm serious.

I was thinking that we could marry

and go to Paris together.

With your permission, of course.

Vivaan?

Have you gone loony?

Or we could live in sin there,
what say, big sister.

You know what I mean.

You haven't even asked me yet.

I haven't?

Dear lady, forgive me.
Allow me to propose now.

Shubhi...

You've turned my whole
life upside down.

And I completely love this new life.

And I want to live in it forever.

Miss Shubhavari Sahay,

will you please marry me?

Sis?

Are you nuts? Say yes.

What do I do?

Yes or no, babe?

Have mercy on my knees at least.

Yes, yes, yes.

Bless you.

First tell me.

How in God's name did you agree?

Scram.

Hey.

You sit with me, come.

This is the limit.

I can't believe this oaf has
landed such a lovely girl.

Gran, you've only met Dr. Jekyll yet
wait till you meet Ms. Hyde.

Vivaan.

If only you knew
how many girls pine for me.

My noble heart felt sorry for
this poor villager, or else...

Or she'd leave you too.

Yeah.

Gran...

Wait.

Welcome to our family, child.

Is that real?

Ma, this is Vibha here.

Ma, Chutki's got a proposal.

His name's Vivaan.

He works in her office.

With her?

Has a home in Bombay too.

Really?

Ma, his family's coming to Banaras .

But they want a quick wedding.

Vivaan is going abroad in 20 days.

No, daughter.

How can we manage this in 20 days?

Easily, Ma.

Don't you worry.

Chutki and I will manage
everything in Banaras .

And in no time.

I've already designed her trousseau.

But we'll buy her saris
only in Banaras .

It'll be so much fun.

But, daughter...

Yes, Ma?

Tongues have started to wag.

They say we've become
too rich, too quickly.

You understand, right?

I fear your coming here might...

Daughter?

You understand, right?

Yes, Ma, I do.

You're absolutely right.

I won't come. Don't worry.

I'll handle Chutki.

I'll make some excuse.

Daughter...

Chutki must take her vows
in our traditional sari.

You know which one, right?

I should go now. Bye, ma.

Where are my spectacles?

How do I hide my tainted self?

How do I find my way back home?

I've fallen from grace

I don't have patience
for this wedding stuff.

Let's elope.

In this trolley.

-You know what I mean.
-I do.

You do? Then listen...

-One last kiss?
-Last kiss.

Yeah.

Vivaan, leave.

I'm waiting for sis, remember?

So wait on.

I'll check her in just
in case she's late.

Okay, wait.

Really, come here.

Don't jump again.

-I'm gonna miss you.
-I'm not gonna miss you.

I told you, you hate men.

I don't hate men. I hate you.

I love you, but...

Bye.

Sis, where are you?

I was just about to call you.

Our flight's been-

What?

What do you mean can't come?

Office work. Now?

But your luggage is with me.

Why can't you tell them something?

Come on, sis. Hello?

Yeah.

l'll be there in 45 minutes.

No, you don't need to send the car.

l'll be there.

Sis?

Hurry up.

Your damn door's jammed.

Get the luggage. Sis!

Take this upstairs, please.

Come on quick.

Follow the black car.

Pick up the phone, sis.

-Drive faster.
-There's traffic, ma'am.

-But that black car is zipping.
-I'm trying to follow.

You're a crappy driver.

Come on.

Stop here.

Sis...

-How much?
-Ninety rupees.

Don't have change.

Just keep it.

Ms. Natasha.

Good evening.

Mr. Collins is waiting for you.

Natasha?

Who was that lady?

Miss Natasha.

Comes here often.
She's a permanent guest here.

And meets her friends here often.

Friends?

Like I said, she meets them here.

Isn't her name Vibhavari?

No. Not at all.

She's Miss Natasha.

That's what I call a lottery.

Crazy timelines in event management.

Look at your castle, sis.

Get me a job in event management.

How did you learn such fab make-up?

I wasn't flying kites
for so long in this city.

Miss Natasha.

'O how sis blushes

You brat.

Sis...

Li'l rat.

Stop the car.

Chutki?

Natasha?

Sis.

Please listen.

Sis?

You're disgusted, aren't you?

I know what you must
be going through.

But I never thought...

Or wished for you to find out.

Believe me.

Just wished for you and Vivaan to
make a life I'd stopped dreaming of.

I didn't want the shadows of
my world to fall on you.

That's why I wasn't coming to Banaras .

Forgive me, sis.

I've shattered your faith.

I've shamed you.

I'm sorry. Forgive me.

Shut up, sis.

Just shut up.

Don't you dare apologize
to anyone...

To me, mother or even father.

I ask for your forgiveness.

Don't...

For all of us.

How could we have become so selfish?

So blind?

How could I not read your eyes?

Why couldn't I feel your pain?

I fight with the whole world...

But I couldn't save my own sister.

I'm so sorry. Forgive me, sis.

You thought you'd keep sacrificing
and we wouldn't find out?

You'd keep selling yourself...

For the house...

For dad's medical bills...

For my education, my wedding?

Did you really think we'd build
our dreams on your grave?

Enough, sis. No more.

There will be no wedding
without my sister.

No, Chutki.

Yes.

You will come with me.

Come, sis. Let's go home.

Sis is here. Sis is here.

Ma.

Daughter?

You've become so thin...

Chutki just wouldn't listen.

She was so adamant.

Just pray that everything goes well.

Ma?

Speak.

Oh, really?

I think Ms. Big Bucks from
the big city should speak.

I don't have time for riddles.

Come to the point.

Then listen...

Ask your bloody lawyer to come
to an understanding with dad.

Pay us and we'll withdraw the case.

Got it?

We're winning and you want to
compromise with those devils?

By paying them?

Exactly.

Why? Explain, sis.

Explain what?

And to who?

We're away.

Ma and dad are alone
in this legal mess.

What if they send goons?

Burn the house?

Who will protect them?

Reminds me of father.

He had the same tone.

And would toss his plate
in anger just like this.

Let's eat.

Is this still necessary, Ma?

Sis.

Coming.

Oh, hello.

Our respects.

She's quit everything ever
since her patron expired.

Ma'am?

Oh, the little rats.

Where have you been?

In Bombay.

Lets see.

Just the same.

They couldn't rob that innocence.

But they tried real hard.

It's my sister's wedding.

You must come.

Congratulations.

Is the groom here?

Sabitri.

They are here.

Ma, this is Vivaan.

Hello.

Please meet my grandmother.

Greetings.

Please sit.

Bless you, son.

What a lovely family.

I pray that the Lord keeps
the evil eye away from you.

My elder brother, Rohan.

Bro, this is Shubha, her parents.

And her elder sister.

I believe the groom's here.

What the hell are you waiting for?

Savoring the silence
before the storm.

Stormy silence.

Sneaking around?

-Get inside.
-But...

Look at the tall rat I found, ma?

Pining for your bride, weren't you?

Go on, leave.

Here we go now

Sounds fresh

That's right

Now don't you go plucking buds

Or the gardener will
Kick your butts

Now don't you go plucking buds

Or the gardener will
Kick your butts

Ladies, we beg your pardon

We're here for the whole garden.

Ladies, we beg your pardon

We're here for the whole garden

Gardener, your blossoms
Are too cool

Row after row, like
A flowery spool

We're hungry bees, so love sick

We'll gladly get
our butts kicked

Now don't you go plucking buds

The gardener will
Kick your butts

Their cheeks are dimpled

Their ears have bells

Eyes have a drunken swagger

But

Eyes have a drunken swagger

But lips cuss like a sailor.

You're bulls, not bees

Your singing makes us flee

Tie them with a thick yarn

Take them back to
Their stinking barn

Don't go plucking buds

The gardener will
Kick your butts

Yeah, yeah

We the cool champions

Always number one

Never play with us

We the son of a gun

Try so hard to challenge us

Fall flat on your face
Beware

I'm young and beautiful

Stay away

My eyes are magical

You'll regret it

Get away

Don't scream
Don't shout

Be gentle with us

Break it down

Don't scream
Don't shout

My delicate arms

We're on the hook
We're on the line

You can't sing or rhyme

Time for some real music

And real rhyme

These bees cause upheaval

We know they're pure evil

Go gently

Go gently into that night
Young bee

These bees cause upheaval

We know they're pure evil

They try to look so cool

With brains in their drool

Listen up, lovely buds

If it wasn't for us
You'd be duds

It's 'cause we come here often

You stay green and not lonesome

Don't go plucking buds

The gardener will
Kick your butts

Ladies, we beg your pardon

We're here for the whole garden

Gardener
Your buds are too cool

Row after row, like
A flowery spool

We're hungry bees
So love sick

We'll gladly get
Our butts kicked

Sis, the caterer is calling you.

Now what?

I'm coming.

Did you send for me?

No. But Jhurri was looking for you.

Jhurri?

Not Jhurri. I sent for you.

What are you doing, Rohan?

Nothing yet.

I just wanted to say something.

Not now, Rohan.
I should be with sis.

I know.

Look, I'm not good at this.

I'm very unromantic and

know nothing but Patents
and Trademarks.

I used to laugh at love
and mushy stuff.

But after Zurich.

I don't want to see
you in my dreams

but by my side.

Rohan, please.

Messed it up.

I can do better. One sec.

I want to hold your hand through
every air pocket in life.

Please, Rohan.

Don't even think this.

Why?

I fell in love praying
with you that day.

Today at the banks of the holy Ganges.

I ask for your hand.

Even the logic is perfect.

No, Rohan.

You know nothing.

Absolutely nothing.

Vibha...

Refuse if you wish

but I think we're friends enough
for you to tell me why.

No, Rohan.

We're not friends enough
for me to tell you the reason.

Has everything reached?

Yes.

And the sweets?

Yes, mother.

What's the matter? Why so worried?

Nothing at all, Ma.

Don't you girls have to get dressed?

What is it?

Tell me, child.

Ma, there's a proposal for me.

What a proposal?

Whose?

Rohan.

No, child no.

I'd told you.

I knew it.

It's for the main hall, okay?

I feared this very moment.

Why did you come?

Why?

Who were you stopping, Ma?

The daughter who saved us all?

Chutki.

Who saved father,

who saved you from crumbling.

Shut up.

Was responsible for my education.

Who saved everyone
but couldn't save herself.

You shut the doors
on that daughter, Ma?

Don't interfere, Chutki.

I will.

Because you won't utter a word.

Such injustice?

You've carried the entire
burden alone, sis.

Try to understand me.

He's asked for your hand.

What can you possibly do now?

If you refuse,

it impacts Chutki.

If you say yes...

Then both your relationships will have...

A sword dangling
over them for life.

No, daughter.

Wait here. I'll do something.

No, mother.

You won't.

Sis, you have to do something.

For yourself, this time.

Say yes.

Then I'll have to tell him the truth.

So be it.

Don't worry about me.

If a bond can't bear the truth

then its best that it breaks.

No.

Yes, sis. Now go.

Daughter.

I thought...

Vibha's wedding was not to be.

Thought I'd see you married at least.

I tried so hard

but I lost.

Enough, mother.

Enough.

Used to see your tear-soaked
pillow every morning

but I understand it now.

You'd toughen up for
us every morning

and crumble every night.

Even met good news
with a sombre face.

Share the burden today.

All the tears.

Let it all out, Ma.

I failed as a mother.

I couldn't save my own daughter.

Mother and father.

You were both.

I left you alone in the storm.

You were all alone.

This is all my fault.

All my fault.

You sent for me?

You were right.

I think we're friends enough

for me to owe you a reason.

I'm not an event manager.

I'm an escort.

A sophisticated version of a prostitute.

That's it.

I won't insult you with any excuses.

I did what I had to...

To earn a living.

I don't regret it.

But why should you bear this cross?

Why should you be tainted?

But my sister's purer than the Ganga.

I beg you, Rohan.

Don't let this ruin her happiness.

I beg you.

I used to love you a lot.

But today...

I respect you more than that.

You think I didn't guess.

Back in Zurich?

I've seen your boss' new
PR managers for years now.

But never one who prayed.

Taint?

Cross to bear?

What are you talking about?

To me, you are the Ganga herself.

Rohan, you don't know.

I don't know anything.

Except that...

I dread living without you.

So if you can bear

living with someone

who doesn't even know his prayers...

If you can spend your life with me

then I think that life
should begin right now.

Just say yes.

Sis.

Please say 'yes'.

The dude's not half bad, I assure you.

Say yes, sis.

Stop bleating.

You guys start whipping a
drum at the drop of a hat.

This is not a wedding.

It's a shameful event in
my grandfather's house.

But you can't hide the truth.

Hear me out.

Then let's see how this wedding happens.

Not one, but two weddings.

Have you gone mad?

No, you have.

She's right.

Let me see who tries to stop us.

And speak with caution.

The women of this house
are its pride.

So beware when you
utter something

You get it, right?

But bro, they're here to celebrate, right?

What say, Bro-in-law?

Shouldn't we shake our booty now?

I often wish to fly away

Like a bird free as day

And bring back with the night

A few grains and some light

'Cause we are like this

This is how we are

This is how we are
