Why can't a father tell his son…
how much he loves him?
Why can't he embrace his son, and tell him…
I love you, my son.
And the mother?
She keeps repeating it, even if the son doesn't listen to her.
But it doesn't mean that the father doesn't love his son.
No one can fathom the amount of love that a mother has for her son…
not even the mother.
Because a mother's love cannot be measured.
It's an emotion that can only be felt…
by a mother!
Rahul, my son…
my life!
The match between Woodstock International and Manor House
is at a very interesting stage. Five runs needed in one ball.
Can Woodstock International's nine-year winning streak be broken in just a ball?
Captain Vivek Singh spreads his field towards the boundary.
And the two batsmen have taken their positions.
The excitement among the students is rising.
The tension is mounting!
Manor House needs five runs in one ball.
Will Rohan do it?
-Rohan! Rohan! -Rohan! Rohan!
It's up to Rohan to break
Woodstock International's nine-year winning streak.
-We love you, Rohan! -Seems impossible.
Nothing is impossible.
The entire game rests on Rohan's shoulders.
Manor House is confident that Rohan will do it!
-Rohan! Rohan! -Rohan! Rohan!
Five runs in one ball.
He needs to hit a six.
It's ridiculous!
Nothing is ridiculous for Rohan Raichand!
If you want to be someone in life, if you want to achieve something…
if you want to win, always listen to your heart.
And if your heart answers you,
close your eyes and think of your parents.
And then, you will cross all the hurdles…
all your problems will vanish… victory will be yours.
I promise.
Catch it!
Yes!
Mom! Dad! I won!
I was the Man of the Match!
What can I say? I'm just the best!
Hey, Dad, I watched you on CNN.
You looked great.
Now I know where I get my good looks from.
Anyway, I have just completed my final term and
I'm coming home for Diwali.
Can't wait to see you guys.
Lots of love, Rohan.
Before I come home, I'm going to Hardwar to meet my two favorite girlfriends
Hardwar? Who are these girlfriends in Hardwar?
My two grandmothers… maternal and paternal!
Tomorrow at 8:00 a.m.
-Sure. -Sure.
Are you watching the photograph and crying again?
Where am I crying?
Of course not… why would you cry?
That's as true as the fact that you are very young.
Stop joking with me early in the morning.
What's the matter?
I miss Rahul very often these days.
So do I.
But in the last few days…
I have been feeling extremely restless.
But why?
Listen…
We have already lived our lives.
Speak for yourself! I have a long life ahead, touch wood!
Yes…
but I'll be meeting my creator soon.
How will I face Him there?
How will I explain why I couldn't unite my scattered family?
That I couldn't bring my grandson back home?
How will I face him?
Don't worry about it.
-You won't be meeting God anyway. -Why?
Because He doesn't meet anyone in hell.
-Stop joking early in the morning. -Hey, sweetheart!
Rohan!
Naani!
My child.
What's the matter, Naani? You're looking really sexy.
I know. Everyone says the same thing.
Rohan!
Daadi.
-Greetings, Daadi. -May you live long.
You have become very weak my son.
Now everyone can't be as healthy as you are.
Oh! Just shut up now.
What's the matter, Naani?
What happened? Is she crying?
Then it's fine. I get very worried when she doesn't weep.
-She always does this, Rohan! -Oh, stop it now, you two.
Please stop crying.
Please stop.
Your tears will raise a lot of questions in Rohan's mind and
we won't have any answers to his questions.
What do I do? What should I do?
Whenever I see Rohan,
I think of Rahul even more.
Don't you think we should tell him everything?
How can we tell him?
Yash has warned us against it.
Rohan was not even in town when Rahul left home.
He doesn't know anything.
I think we should tell him everything.
Where do we begin? What do we tell him?
He doesn't even know that Rahul was not born to Yash and Nandini.
He was adopted.
Rahul was two-days-old when Yash and Nandini brought him home.
His tiny footsteps made a place in all our hearts.
He became Nandini's lifeline and Yash's dream was fulfilled.
Nine years later, when you were born…
we felt that our family was now complete.
I still remember…
the astrologer saying that…
you fought destiny to be born.
You would be our strength.
Did Rahul know that he was…
Rahul was eight years old when they told him.
That was when Yash decided that…
it should never be discussed again in the house.
Never again.
Rahul was our son.
The eldest son of the house.
It was a truth that could never be changed.
But someone did discuss it again…
suddenly.
And that was Rahul's last Diwali with his family.
The last one.
-DJ! -Oh God, Rohan!
You've become so fat that nothing fits you anymore.
-DJ! -What's DJ? Call me Daijaan.
Through smiles or through tears
We shall never part
Through smiles or through tears
I feel you in every breath of mine
My life is but your shadow
I feel you in every breath of mine
My life is but your shadow
I pray to thee as long as I live
These are all your boons Our smiles and our tears
We shall never part Through smiles or through tears
I feel you in every breath of mine
My life is but your shadow
I pray to thee as long as I live
These are all your boons Our smiles and our tears
We shall never part Through smiles or through tears
We light the lamps of love at your feet
We see you everywhere And in everything we see
We light the lamps of love at your feet
We see you everywhere And in everything we see
Our lips chant
no name but yours
Our lips chant no name but yours
Let our hearts be filled With nothing but your love
These are all your boons Our smiles and our tears
We shall never part Through smiles or through tears
Hey, Mom! How do you always sense my presence much before I arrive?
Through smiles or through tears
We shall never part
Through smiles or through tears
Hold on! Come here!
Oh, God!
It's so good. I've come back home!
Yes, it is.
Rahul, just tell me one thing.
Emails, letters, faxes, I sent everything I could and you didn't reply to any.
Very rude!
MBA is a tough job, Naina.
Was it just MBA that kept you busy? Or was there something else?
I mean someone else.
Well, it was more than just one. You know me.
You stud you!
Yeah, me stud me.
-Tell me, Rahul. -What do you think?
-I think-- -What do you think?
-I think, Rahul-- -What do you think, Naina?
Rahul, I think no one but me will bother wasting her time with you.
In any case, what do you know about treating a woman?
Oh, really?
Is this how we treat women?
-Stop it! Stop it, Rahul! -No, you tell me! Tell me!
Tell me. What?
Did you miss me at all?
Should I tell you the truth or lie?
Lie.
If I have to lie then I'd say I did…
not remember you at all…
-How sweet! -Sweet, right?
Let's talk about you.
Are you still the same or is some mad guy interested in you?
-What do you think? -I think…
What do you think, Rahul?
-I think-- -What do you think, Rahul?
I think, Naina… I will beat you to that door.
Really?
Really.
Don't bet on that.
-Hey, Naina! -Come on, Rahul!
Come back here! Come here!
-I'll-- -Come on!
Out! Come on! Yes! Out!
Out! Out!
Out! Out! Come on! Yes!
"Yes! Yes!"
-Don't you have to go to school? -DJ, one minute please!
I'll take that! Thank you!
Here, eat this. Buzz off!
What's the score?
104 for 6! Isn't that great?!
Damn good, man. How many overs?
-We got them! Yes! -Out! Yes!
-Here you go. -God!
Brother, I think India is going to kill England.
Anything can happen at the last minute.
You can't bank on them too much.
You never know with India, Rohan.
-Here, take this! -Thank you, Daijaan.
-Daijaan, we're winning! Yes! -"Out! Out!"
-What's the big deal? -Out! Yes!
England was out of India in 1947.
DJ, that was a bad joke!
Oh, God! Why are your legs so heavy?
Come on, Daijaan! Why can't he tie his own shoelaces?
So what? He's a child. He'll learn.
But if you don't allow him to do it himself, how will he learn? Fatty.
Why did you come back from London?
Hey! DJ!
What's happening here?
Mom, you have overfed Rohan and turned him into a pumpkin.
-Rahul! -Pumpkin.
Yes, please laugh at me.
When I go away to the boarding school you will all miss me.
-Nobody loves me! -No, sweetheart.
By the way, Fatty… Mom loves me more than you.
-DJ, just look at him! -Calm down. He's jealous of you.
Rahul…
God! I missed you, Mom.
I missed you too, baby.
You won't leave me again, will you?
I won't, but promise me…
you will not feed me the way you fed this pumpkin.
Rahul!
Nandini!
Yes, I'm coming.
You have forgotten me as soon as your son has arrived.
Who will knot this tie?
Can't you do it without me?
Wait.
Now you truly look like…
Mrs. Yashvardhan Raichand.
-Thank you. -Have a good day, sir.
Morning, Anubhav!
Good morning, sir.
-Your faxes from Malaysia. -Thank you.
Cancel all engagements for today and set up an appointment with my son.
-11 o'clock. -Sure, sir.
Nice machine.
Must get a couple more of these.
This is for you, my son!
Now…
the Raichand empire belongs to you!
-Cheers! -Cheers, Dad!
Sorry, Dad!
That's your grandfather.
Greet him.
He was a great man, Rahul!
Great man!
Just look at him. Look at him. Just look at him.
What a personality!
What stature!
Sometimes I…
wish I could just…
stand like him.
Stand like him!
-Hey! Forget it. -Sorry.
You know, Rahul…
thirty years ago, in this very chamber…
he told me a few things, that I will now tell you.
He said life offers you many paths to choose from.
You must always choose the one that is right.
The one where you don't have to bow, where you don't fall.
Never do something…
that will bring shame to your family name or prestige.
Anyone can make money but earning respect…
is not everyone's cup of tea.
I have not forgotten his words to date.
You shouldn't either.
Promise me that you will follow the traditions of the family.
Promise me that you'll never compromise with the prestige of our family.
I promise, Dad.
I will always keep the family name flying high.
I promise you that I will always keep you happy.
Always, Dad!
We have won!
Pooja!
BHARAT SWEETMEAT SHOP
Pooja!
-What happened? -Pooja!
We have won the match.
God, Sachin played so well… 100 runs not out.
-Long live… -India!
Okay, now listen, take care of the shop I will be back.
-Hey, Haldiram! -Hey, hold it properly!
-What a game! What a game! -What a game! What a game!
-What a game! -What a game!
What game are we playing?
-India has won the match! -Really? How nice.
If you didn't know, what were you dancing for?
I was dancing because…
my wife's laddoos are sold out!
Sold out? How come?
There was a customer who told me he wanted to eat laddoos
that would drive him crazy.
Eating her laddoos cures people who are insane and
the ones who are normal, they are…
Clean bowled!
-It was just a joke! -Stop it now.
-I haven't even started it yet. -Come on.
Rukhsar!
Stop shouting so loudly.
The groom's family is here to see Rukhsar.
Sit down, my child.
Greet them.
-Greetings. -Greetings to you as well.
Grandma, wake up! The bride is here.
Greetings!
Oh, my God!
Her face is bright like the full moon.
She is just what I had imagined.
Well, it's not me.
-This is my daughter, Rukhsar. -Greetings!
What? Fever?
Not fever, mother, she's Rukhsar!
-Rukhsar! -Rukhsar!
Rukhsar!
What happened?
We have won the match.
My daughter's very quiet and introverted.
We have won!
God! What happened?
Quiet and introverted?
Well, how old is she?
-Hundred! -Hundred!
-Grandma, she's hundred years old. -What? Nine years old?
She's going to be twenty-one soon.
Well, the blossoming of youth.
Actually, we live in Lucknow.
But this is Chandni Chowk.
-I guess, anyway, -Who scored it?
-Sachin! -I forgot to tell you.
my son's name is Ashfaque.
Sachin?!
Sachin?
Sachin? In case there's someone else in her life--
No! No! Please don't say such things.
It's her Uncle Sachin… her late Uncle Sachin.
She was very attached to him.
She always remembers him on happy occasions.
Sachin?!
Right, Sachin.
Poor Sachin…
I will whack you! Get lost!
I'll teach you a lesson. Wait, let me talk to your father.
-Oh, God, Is everything alright? -Dad?
Forget about me. Tell me what has she done this time?
Ask me what she hasn't.
A nice wedding proposal would have slipped out of our hands.
What?
180 by 100… your blood pressure is high.
You mean BP is high?
Yes, it's high because of you.
Mom!
I have just increased the dosage. Please get these medicines.
Sure, alright.
-Come. -Please come.
-Mr. Om, you must take care of yourself. -It's just some--
Yes, Auntie. You don't take care of yourself.
You just keep quiet. I don't want to talk to you.
-Why? -Why? What is Sayeeda saying?
I wasn't serious at all.
I was just joking.
That's surprising. You have spoilt my two daughters…
Aren't they like my children as well? Anyway, leave all this aside.
The good news is that they liked this mad girl.
-They have accepted the proposal. -Really?
Yes.
Didn't they see you properly?
Shut up!
So, you will leave us and go?
Someday all you girls have to leave.
No way am I leaving my father.
-I'm not going either. -So then should I leave?
Stop it, Dad?
Some day you have to get married, my child.
The only prayer I have to the Lord is that…
the man you marry must love you even more than I do.
Come on!
I don't think such a man exists in this world.
-I am here. -Oh, shut up, Rahul!
-You've behaved very badly today. -I'm sorry.
You did not eat, dance or even talk to anyone at the party tonight.
You didn't even tell me how beautiful I look tonight.
You look very beautiful, Naina.
Really?
How sweet.
I'm sweet and a good liar!
-Just go. -No!
Hey, Naina, you look very beautiful.
-Are you lying or telling the truth? -What do you think?
-I think-- -What do you think?
-I think, Rahul-- -What do you think?
Rahul, I think you should go now.
In any case, I wasn't planning to come with you.
But thanks for the offer.
Good night!
-Bye! -Buh-bye!
I was lying!
Which is the longest river in the world?
Nile!
Sure?
Confident?
Shut up!
Hey, Dad! Hey, Mom!
Grandma!
-Fatty! -Dad!
Rahul, stop it.
Sorry, Dad.
What's happening, Mom?
Nothing much. They're just planning Dad's surprise party.
-Rohan! -Fatty!
He can't keep his mouth shut!
That's because you're always stuffing it with food!
Idiot.
Rahul, how are you back so early?
Mom, these society parties are very boring.
Really?
In that case, you have not taken after your father in these matters.
He used to love these parties.
Because there used to be a lot of girls there.
Nandini!
He used to get very happy watching those girls.
Mrs. Nandini, if I hadn't watched those beautiful girls…
how would I have found you?
What did you do?
Your father brought Nandini's proposal.
When he saw her for the first time
he was very pleased.
And said,
he approved of her.
But he said we would have to ask for dowry.
He insisted that the girl should bring from her parents' house…
lots of love and a long, long ladder.
It's a great tradition.
The elders of the house choose their daughter-in-law.
One can't trust these mad children.
What?
No, Mom.
It was way back in time.
Things are different these days.
Nothing has changed, Nandini.
But these days children make their choices themselves.
Nothing has changed, Nandini.
-What I meant was-- -Nothing has changed.
-But-- -I said it… didn't I?
That's it!
Your beauty is going to steal His sleep at night!
-Shut up! -You shut up!
Where is your Ashfaque?
I haven't even seen him yet.
Introduce him to me. Let me see how he looks.
He is arriving from Lucknow today and…
he will come to meet you as soon as he comes.
Tell me what you thought of him.
Stop this coy bride act now.
By the way, what does he do in Lucknow?
-He is a poet. -A poet?
Then I'll get along very well with him.
Really? Why?
That's because I write a bit of poetry myself.
Wow! Poet Anjali Ali Khan.
-Let me say a few lines. -Go on! Go on!
What heartache have I gone through for thee…
Wow!
What heartache have I gone through for thee…
On one end is Rukhsar and on the other is Auntie!
Shut up, you brat.
Do you know that the morning papers have a photograph
-of my boss and his son? -Really? Can I see?
-Wash your hands first! -Oh God!
Tomorrow is his fiftieth birthday.
There's going to be a big party. There will be a lot of people.
I made it very clear to his wife that the desserts will
come from Chandni Chowk.
That too, specially, made by dear Anjali.
-Really? And what did she say? -She agreed.
But now you make sure that you don't mess things up.
Both Rukhsar and you come to the party with the kulfi.
Sure.
Oh, God! But tomorrow is Dad's birthday as well.
So what? Come a little late.
In any case, their party is not going to start early.
Oh, God! Do I have it?
No!
You don't know anything.
Please dress appropriately for tomorrow.
Yes, Mom, I will wear my new shimmering, embroidered outfit.
Of course… you must.
After all, everyone at the party will be dying to know
what Rukhsar is going to wear.
-Really? -Idiot!
-Come on! Rukhsar! -No, not today.
-Rukhsar! -No, Mom is not feeling well.
I'll return it.
Your groom is coming to visit us today, isn't he?
Where are we?
How tacky!
You brat. Mother has sent some medicines for Daijaan.
I'll be back.
Hey, girl!
-Oh, God! -Mom, stop it and get some sleep.
Hey, girl!
My love…
Hey, girl!
-Anjali, let's go. -Coming, Dad!
Shit.
How downmarket!
Where is Rahul?
The shop's closed. It will open at 10:00.
Okay.
Is that Ashfaque?
Well, I--
Let me say a couplet.
So what if the evil wishes harm…
I don't know.
So what?
The only will that triumphs Is the will of the Lord
Wow!
Okay.
Your turn.
Look up there.
Hey, Laddoo! You can't enter Chandni Chowk.
-Why? -Because I said so.
And if you want to enter, you have to say this.
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? Say it fast.
What exactly am I supposed to say?
-What? -I don't…
Never mind. Don't say it. May I say another one?
-One more. Please. -Yeah, if you insist.
Okay.
Love is not an easy path, Understand ye all…
Okay.
It's a trial by fire To be crossed bravely
-Right? Right? -Right!
Peter… Piper… pick… peppers… What was it?
You're here to meet me, right?
Not really.
I am here to meet Daijaan.
So, you call her "Daijaan"?
Of course… she has raised me.
She has raised you?
In that case, I must have played in her lap as well.
How?
Peter piper pick pepper…
Look up!
Catch him.
When's the wedding?
Whose?
You and her.
How can I marry Daijaan?
You have a great sense of humor. And you are cute as well.
Rahul! Save me.
I'm going to tell Rukhsar that I really liked her Ashfaque.
Excuse me.
Who is Ashfaque?
You are asking me who Ashfaque is?
You have a great sense of humor!
-Okay. -You have a great sense of humor!
What?
Do you know where Sayeeda begum lives?
Oh, God!
-Hey! -Hey!
-Do you know? -What would I know?
-You seem to know everything. -Right.
Do you know my Auntie? Your future mother-in-law, Sayeeda Begum.
-Do you know where she works? -Yeah.
Big businesses of the big people.
Have you heard of the Raichands? How could you have heard of them?
Their photo has been printed in today's newspaper
-Really? -Yes.
-Tip-top! -Very nice.
-Have you seen it? -No.
Then come with me. I'll show you.
-I don't read the newspapers. -Here it is.
Yashvardhan Raichand! He's a big snob!
Absolutely!
And this is his son. God! He looks exactly like you.
Show me.
No! That's Ashfaque!
-I'm a dead duck. -Not at all.
You have a great sense of humor. You have a great sense of humor.
-Really funny. -Rahul! Rahul!
Rahul! Some goons are chasing me!
Oh, God!
-Hey, wait! -Help!
My lovely brother.
My younger brother.
Listen…
you really do have a great sense of humor.
Greetings, I'm Ashfaque.
And I'm the Queen of Jhansi.
Happy birthday to you!
Happy birthday! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday to you!
Thank you, my dear.
Thank you.
Excuse me!
Excuse me, please.
Before I raise this toast to Dad…
I want to tell you something.
I've always dreamt…
of being like my Dad.
To walk like him, speak like him, sit like him.
To do everything the way he does.
Like the way he is standing right now…
Like this!
Can't do it.
I know I can't do it.
And maybe I will never be able to do it because…
there's no one in this world like my Dad.
I know that someone up there is happy with me to have bestowed on me…
the right to say that I am Yashvardhan Raichand's son.
To say it proudly.
Thank you, Dad.
Thank you.
And today, Dad…
and the three most beautiful women in the world.
Thank you. …three most beautiful women in the world,
Ms. World, Ms. Universe, and Ms. Asia Pacific,
-and Fatty! -Rahul!
We just want to say to you that we love you very much.
You're the best, Dad.
Look what he's done to me now.
What's wrong?
I'll just have a look. Grandmother, you come with me.
Ladies and gentlemen!
Oh, forget it!
This one's for you, Rahul!
Thanks, Dad.
And for you, my lovely.
One, two! One, two, three, four!
Come shake a leg

I will die without you
Oh, God! I will die without you

Alright.
That's enough.
Hey,
what do you say?
Hey!
What do I say?
-Listen -Tell me
Join me at Khandala
What will we do there?
We'll roam, we'll sing, we'll dance…
What more will we do?
You'll have fun!
Idiot! Come on.
-Come on. -Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry, Auntie.
I'm a dead duck. I'm a dead duck.
Rukhsar, he is--
Happy birthday, sir.
-Fax this to this office. And the… -Come on. You stand here.
-original on my desk. -You come.
-Okay? -Yes, sir.
Excuse me, sir!
You can go.
Thank you, sir.
Sir.
This is Anjali. She is here to apologize.
-Apologize? -Yes, sir.
That's not necessary.
Wait! Wait!
No, sir. She broke your vase. I'm sure it was expensive.
She must apologize.
And, I must tell you, she is really foolish.
-In her own house-- -Auntie! May I speak?
Yes, go ahead. Apologize.
Yes.
Greetings.
Sir… when I listen to songs,
I tend to go off the hook.
And the Khandala number is one of my favorites.
Hey, what do you say?
-Shut up! -What did I do?
Watch what you are saying!
Enough!
-Apologize. -Auntie!
You? Leave right now!
Me?
-No. Not you. -Rahul. Rahul.
Sir, I smashed your expensive pot.
-Vase. -Yes, vase. Whatever.
I'm ready to repay you.
By the way, how much was it worth?
I don't know. Sayeeda, why don't you explain--
Shut up!
-Shut up? -This is all your fault!
My fault?
-No, it's not your fault. -Anjali!
-What are you doing? -It's going wrong.
You see, sir…
Dad always says that…
asking for forgiveness doesn't diminish one's stature.
And the one who forgives has a big heart.
You have a big heart don't you, sir?
I mean…
-So, do you forgive me? -Yes, I do.
That's really kind of you.
Okay, I'll take your leave now.
Please give my regards to ma'am.
May the Lord always protect your family.
Greetings.
Yes, to you as well!
Quiet now.
The pot!
A vase, not a pot!
Sayeeda, please take her.
-Come on now. -Sorry! Not a pot, a vase.
Sorry!
My love…
A pot!
-Isn't this Laddoo's school? -Yes, it is.
-Come on, let's go and hit him. -Yes, come on.
Hey, be quick!
Run!
-Hold them! -Hold them!
These are the same goons I was talking about.
Really?!
Are they from the underworld?
No, no, they're from Chandni Chowk.
-Chandni Chowk? -Chandni Chowk?
Look at her clothes! So dirty!
Look at her hair! So oily!
So verny! Can't she speak English?
Hey, you speak Hindi, don't you?
-Verny! Verny! -Verny! Verny!
What? And you didn't do anything?
There were too many of them! I couldn't do anything.
Here you roam around like a don. What happened to you there?
-Oh! Sister! -"Oh! Sister!"
But why did she go to his school?
Lord Almighty! What are you saying?
She just entered the school, she didn't murder anyone.
Why did the other kids say all that nasty stuff?
If I would have been there,
I would have caught each one of them and bashed them up.
Yes. They have hurt my sister.
Let me meet that Laddoo and that coward!
I vow on Sachin Tendulkar that if I don't hang them upside down…
in the middle of Chandni Chowk I won't call myself Dad's daughter.
Anjali…
You don't know, Dad. All these guys have is money!
I curse them--
That's a good line. Did you write it yourself?
Yes.
Idiot.
-Greetings to you. -Greetings.
Anjali, they have come to our house for the first time.
Get them something to eat.
I'm sure they have had their meals before coming.
Haven't you seen the size?
Rahul--
Don't worry, sir, we have eaten.
How can you say that? I'll just get you something in a minute.
No, sir. Please don't trouble yourself.
And you also…
don't bother.
-What's the name? -Rohan!
-Not you. Her name. -Pooja.
You are an idiot. Come on.
Hi, Pooja!
What pretty eyes!
Hey!
You must never hurt anyone's feelings.
Specially that of a girl.
And specially, of such a pretty girl.
Come on, say sorry now.
Besides, someone has told me that…
asking for forgiveness doesn't diminish one's stature.
And the one who forgives has a big heart.
Right?
What are you looking at? Come on, apologize, Laddoo.
I'm sorry, Pooja.
-It's okay. -Friends?
Friends.
Hello, ma'am!
If those two can become friends, why can't we?
-Friends? -Yes.
I just want to be friends with you. Do you have a problem?
-Really? -Yes, friends?
-Come on, just do it. -Friends.
Okay, ma'am.
I can't see your dad. He went to get some food…
Dad is inside--
I'm telling you, Rukhsar. There's something fishy going on.
-Anjali, you think he's-- -What?
-He is-- -Yes, you're right!
-Don't you think? -Correct!
-You think the same, right? -You are right, Rukhsar.
He wants to take my shop away from me.
Oh, God!
What do I do with this girl? I'm saying
-he might be in love with you! -Love?
Yes!
Wow, Rukhsar, you are really great!
Are all the girls in Delhi dead?
Why will he be in love with me?
No one loves me here in Chandni Chowk.
Why would that Yashvardhan's son be interested in me?
Stop kidding, I'm telling you.
-You're wrong. -This is the best bakery in Chandni Chowk.
These sweetmeats are fifty rupees per kg.
These laddus are fifty rupees per kg.
Excuse me.
This is my wife. You can have her for free.
-Take her away. -What are you saying?
-It was a joke. -Stop it.
All I want to is where's the Red Fort?
So you don't want to buy sweetmeats?
Red Fort's not here! It's in Agra!
-Leave! -When did they move it?
Red Fort moved to Agra a long time ago and
the mental asylum from Agra has been moved here.
Not a dime in the pocket and he wants to know…
the whereabouts of the Red Fort.
They are mad.
Bharat Sweet Shop. Sweets for all occasions like engagements and weddings.
Both will happen in due course.
-What's the hurry? -Who's that?
-Who? It's me, who else? -Who's me?
What do you mean, who? It's me your new friend.
You know, the children are planning to go to the fair.
I was thinking if you could join us, it would be great fun!
What fair?
The fair at Chandni Chowk, which else?
Oh, God! This fair?
But this fair doesn't match your standards.
But we make a good match. Please join us.
Tomorrow at 4:00 p.m.
-Buh-bye. -Yeah, bye.
Shut up!
Come on! Get me!
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers? Say it!
Stop it, guys!
Lord Krishna is here decked up in a suit, to ruin my day.
You sing very well.
Yes. By the way, do you always wear such clothes?
Yes. When I wear clothes, I wear these.
Otherwise most of the time I'm--
No. I asked because we have a proverb that says,
"He who wears a kurta from Lucknow and Pathani salwar…
stands for a true man and the one who doesn't, who knows?"
Very good!
By the way, your hair looks beautiful when your leave it open.
Isn't it a coincidence that our fathers share the same birthday?
-Twins! -Of course. One with a large heart,
the other with a large pocket to pay the bills.
Joke!
Very funny.
Funny, funny.
Let them be. They look nice.
Bangles?
-Fair are my wrists -Bangles?
Get me those green bangles
-Make me yours, my beloved -Oh, God. He's back.
You-- Sorry, I mean Mr.--
Please don't be formal. It feels nice.
Nice?
This is getting too much.
Now listen to me, Mr. Raichand…
-I want to say something to you. -I'm listening.
What I want to say is that I can't give you what you want.
-Why not? -I just can't.
At least give it a try.
I can't! Dad won't allow it.
I'll talk to him.
-I'll ask him. -Lord save me!
Why would Dad give you our shop?
What's the big deal--
Shop? What shop?
-Our Bharat Sweetmeat shop, what else? -What shop are you talking about?
-I don't know-- -Friendship is fine
but what is all this intimacy about?
You sneaked into my house. Lord save me, you kissed me.
There's a limit to friendship, right?
Shut up!
There are many bonds other than friendship.
Bonds that we don't understand,
that we don't need to understand.
I hope it's not hurting you.
Bonds that are nameless,
that are just to be experienced.
I hope it's not hurting you.
Bonds that don't have any boundaries.
Don't have any limits.
I hope it's not hurting you.
Bonds that bind hearts together.
Bonds of passion.
Bonds of love.
Did that hurt?
It hurt me as well.
And one more thing…
I'm definitely going to take over your sweetmeat shop!
The sun dims into twilight
The moonbeams simmer brightly
I wonder why this sky Is melting all around us
The sun dims into twilight
The moonbeams simmer brightly
I wonder why this sky Is melting all around us
I stand still as the Earth moves around me
The heart beats faster As my breath goes deeper
Is it the call of first love?
My love Is it the call of first love?
The sun dims into twilight Moonbeams simmer brightly
I wonder why this sky Is melting all around us
I stand still as the Earth moves around me
The heart beats faster As my breath goes deeper
Is it the call of first love?
My love
Is it the call of first love?
Savor these beautiful moments When everything changes
Our dreams blend into The realms of reality
I wonder if our love Traveling through centuries…
Has bound us in its silken threads
Let this season of love remain eternal
Let our bond last beyond this life
I stand still as the Earth moves around me
The heart beats faster As my breath goes deeper
Is it the call of first love?
My love
Is it the call of first love?
The colors of our souls Have melted into one
I can't say which of me is you And which of you is me
O beloved The waves of your love drown me
Before transporting me to the shore
It's the thirst of the ocean It's the dream of the night
The hearts of the flames Have been set afire
I stand still as the Earth moves around me
The heart beats faster As my breath goes deeper
Is it the call of first love?
My love Is it the call of first love?
The sun dims into twilight Moonbeams simmer brightly
I wonder why this sky Is melting all around us
It's so much fun.
-Dad, let it go! -Let's go inside.
Dad!
May the sun continue to shine
Let the moon wait
These dreams are too far-fetched
Our union seems impossible
I love her.
I really, really love her.
She's slightly crazy.
Actually, she's completely crazy.
She makes strange faces.
She talks a lot.
And she has some lovable mannerisms.
And wherever she goes she breaks a vase.
A pot.
-Pot? -That's what she calls them.
But whenever I'm next to her, I don't know what happens to me.
I love her, Mom.
But she's slightly crazy.
Actually, she's completely--
Crazy.
No.
I--
What's the name of this mad hatter?
Naina!
She is the perfect girl for this family.
I wanted to know your opinion.
I'm very happy with this alliance.
Naina is a very nice girl.
Have you spoken to Rahul about this?
What's the need to speak to Rahul?
He can't take these family decisions.
Naina will be the daughter-in-law of this house. Of our house!
DJ, who's gonna do this for me there?
-Dad… -Come here.
Dad, why can't I stay with all of you here?
Why are you sending me to the boarding school?
Traditions, my child. Traditions.
Your grandfather went there, I did, so did Rahul.
You can't break the traditions of the house, can you?
No.
Right.
Yeah, right.
Dad, see!
-I… -Rahul!
Hey, Laddoo.
I love you very much, okay?
Always remember one more thing…
Mom loves me more than she loves you.
Dad!
-Stop it, Rahul! -I'm sorry.
You have given me so much already. I can't take these.
Sayeeda, if Rahul and Rohan can be your sons,
then don't I have a right over your daughter?
Of course, you do. But all this is too much.
Just tell me what time is the actual wedding?
-Rohan, listen to me carefully. -Sir's here.
Rohan!
No more crying on the phone. Okay? Bye.
Take care of your food and sleep.
Rohan, he has reached his school.
Hey!
What's all this?
Tomorrow is Rukhsar's wedding. So, the two of us--
Congratulations to you, Sayeeda!
If you need anything just ask for it.
Thank you, sir.
I'd be very happy if you and ma'am could attend the wedding tomorrow--
I have asked Rahul to attend the wedding, he will be there.
What?
Alright.
Rahul must be back.
Let me just check. I'll check.
Listen to me.
Tomorrow is a big day for Sayeeda.
I think we should go as well.
How can we go there, Nandini?
I can understand.
But, we--
End of discussion, Nandini. We cannot go there.
Please think about it--
I said it, didn't I? That's it!
My hands are decked up with bangles
Hold on, my love You will have to wait
Yes, we will meet Just wait another night
What happened?
-Haldiram, what happened? -What happened?
Listen…
let me say a couplet.
"Kurta from Lucknow or a pathani salwar does not maketh a man…
He who gives away his heart stands for a true man.
And the one who doesn't… who knows?"
Oh, the bride's decorated hands
Oh, the bride's bejeweled finery
Oh, she looks like a floral ornament
Oh, the bride's kohled eyes
Oh, she looks the most beautiful Of them all
Oh, may Lord bless her
Oh, the bridesmaid
She looks like a silken thread
She peeps from behind And steals a glance
Oh, the bridesmaid She looks like a silken thread
She peeps from behind And steals a glance
Whether she admits it or not She's stolen my heart
Oh Lord, this damsel! Oh my Lord!
These lanes of my childhood I will never leave them
Why don't you get it?
These lanes of my childhood I will never leave them
Why don't you get it?
He is hurling himself onto me
Oh Lord, this young man! Oh my Lord!
Whether thy lips speak or not
Your eyes divulge the story
You can't hide love in disdain
A veiled silence speaks More than a thousand words
Words don't always do justice, my friend
The heart knows what it wants
So does the Lord!
Oh Lord, this damsel! Oh my Lord!
Oh Lord, this young man! Oh my Lord!
My love…
You can't demand a hand in betrothal
Pairs are ordained in heaven
I will come to your doorstep With a wedding procession
Our pair has been ordained in heaven
Go away and stop daydreaming
Oh Lord, this young man! Oh my Lord!
Oh, the bridesmaid She looks like a silken thread
She peeps from behind And steals a glance
These lanes of my childhood I will never leave them
Why don't you get it?
Whether she admits it or not She's stolen my heart
This damsel…
Oh Lord, this damsel! Oh my Lord!
I agree.
-I agree. -She agrees!
Haldiram! She has agreed!
She has agreed.
So have I.
You're in love, aren't you?
You love her, don't you?
-Yes, Dad. -Yes!
Didn't I tell you, Nandini? What did I tell you?
Do I know my son or what?
I'm very happy today, Rahul! I'm very happy.
Just promise me that you will keep her happy as well.
-You will keep my daughter-in-law happy. -Yes.
You will keep Naina very happy.
Oh, I'm so happy, Rahul!
Your face has fallen as if we are already married.
Generally, this happens to men after they are married.
Hey, Rahul…
what's wrong?
What's her name?
Naina…
I wish that was the name.
But it isn't.
-Naina, it's just-- -Rahul!
Ever since I can remember I have loved you.
Loved you a lot.
But it isn't your fault.
Just because I dreamt of marrying you doesn't mean you have to marry me.
And if you are worried about me being sad…
Yes, I will be.
I will feel very bad.
It will hurt a lot as well.
But life doesn't stop, does it, Rahul?
Perhaps a few years from now I can laugh at the fact that…
I loved a certain Rahul who could not be mine.
Because he was never mine!
And my love story will always be incomplete.
But do me a favor, Rahul.
Please complete your love story.
Please?
For my sake.
Please say something before I cry.
Well…
Can I get a hug?
No.
Please.
Thank you.
Raichand!
The name and the respect has been given to us by our ancestors.
To honor and respect them is our foremost duty.
And I will never tolerate an ordinary girl becoming a hurdle…
in performing that duty.
You didn't even think once…
about the background of the girl, her status, her stature.
You didn't give a thought to whether…
the girl will be able to understand our culture and our traditions.
Will the girl ever understand our rituals and our rites?
Will the girl understand our ethics and principles?
Will she adhere to the values of our family?
Will she…
How could you even dare to think that she can be a part of our family?
That she can be a part of my family?
How did you think?
I didn't think, Dad.
I didn't think at all.
I just loved her.
That's all.
Love?
It's such a pity that I couldn't understand my own son.
I thought he knew me.
That he understands the traditions of this family.
He understands my emotions, he understands everything!
I was wrong.
I was really proud of you.
You were my self-respect.
You were my strength.
You've taken it all away.
Everything.
You have hurt me.
You've--
I never wanted to hurt you, Dad.
I only wanted to see you happy.
What have I done?
How could I bring tears to your eyes?
Please don't forgive me.
But please, don't say that I have hurt you.
Don't forgive me.
I will do as you say.
Just as you say.
Dad! Dad!
Please don't leave us!
Don't leave me, Dad. Don't leave me, Dad.
I will be alone, Dad.
Wake up, Dad! Don't leave us, Dad!
Dad!
Don't leave me, Dad!
Sister!
Will the girl be able to understand our culture and our traditions?
Will the girl ever understand our rituals and our rites?
Will the girl understand our ethics and principles?
Will she adhere to the values of our family?
Today…
you have proved that…
you are not my blood.
You are not my blood.
You have proved that…
you are not mine.
Dad!
You have lost the right to call me that!
He's abandoning me.
Dad…
Does that mean, I have no place in this house anymore?
Am I right, Mom?
Please, tell me.
If I am, let me go.
May I go?
Through smiles or through tears
We shall never part
Through smiles nor through tears
My blessings are with you
To protect you from evil eyes
My blessings are with you
To protect you from evil eyes
My wishes for you…
Wherever you go
May happiness and joy Be at your feet forever
These are all your boons Our smiles and our tears
We shall never part
Through smiles nor through tears
Promise me…
that you'll take care of him.
Promise me.
Go!
But--
Rahul, we didn't take Dad's blessings.
Go Sayeeda.
Go with my son.
Wherever he goes…
I don't want him to miss the warmth of a mother's affection.
If you want to be someone in life,
if you want to achieve something…
if you want to win,
always listen to your heart.
And if your heart doesn't answer,
close your eyes and think of your parents.
And then…
you will cross all the hurdles.
All your problems will vanish and victory will be yours
You will remember all this, won't you, Rohan?
Why are you going, Rahul?
Please don't go.
Quiet.
Listen to me.
Promise me, Rohan, that after today you will never ask anyone…
why I left and where I went. Promise me.
Just remember.
Just remember, I love you, fatty.
I love you very much.
-Take care of Mom. -Yeah.
And…
make it to the cricket team.
Yeah.
And, listen…
lose some weight.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
Yeah.
And thus, Yash's ego and Rahul's stubborn stand ripped our family apart.
They ripped our family apart!
Enough.
I will bring you back, Rahul.
I will bring you back, Anjali.
To your home.
To our home.
Nandini…
Nandini!
Yes?
You forget me as soon as your son gets here.
Where is Rohan?
I don't know. He left early this morning.
-Greetings for Eid. -Greetings for Eid.
Greetings to you as well. Wow! You are glowing.
I feel so happy that you're here.
-Greetings for Eid. -Greetings for Eid.
-Look at you, all grown up! -Yes, my wife has grown a lot as well.
-Stop it now. -Just joking.
-What's his name, Haldiram? -Ghasitaram!
Hello!
Greetings!
-Greetings! -Greetings!
Greetings for Eid.
-Greetings to you as well. -Greetings to you as well.
-Did you recognize me? -Yeah…
-Well… -I'm that guy.
-Right, that guy! -Right, that guy!
He's lying! He's just here to have some free drinks.
So sweet.
How is your mother?
Right, Rukhsar!
-How's Anjali doing? -They are all very well.
-I just spoke to them this morning. -Please give them our love.
Rukhsar! Come here.
You guys continue. I'll be back.
What a life Anjali is leading! From Chandni Chowk to…
Right! From Chandni Chowk to?
What?
-Where to? -What? Chandni Chowk?
-That's in Delhi. -You said she went somewhere.
-Where did she go? -Where did she go?
Where did they go?
-Where did they go? -Where did they go?
Didn't you say they went somewhere? Probably America or some similar place.
Have they gone to America?
Oh, I love America!
-But they didn't live there earlier. -Exactly!
-Where did they live earlier? -In Chandni Chowk.
-After that? -America. You just said it, right?
And in between?
-In between whom? -In between the two.
-What is between the two? -What is between the two?
What's the place between the two?
What is he talking about?
-I don't get it. -I wonder where these people come from.
I'm trying to tell you, the place--
-Which place are you talking about? -Which place? Where?
Silence!
Come here.
Haldiram is an idiot!
She is in London.
Someday, I will go there as well.
Thank you.
London.
London?
Why London?
MBA, Dad.
You have just come back, son. And you want to go away again?
I feel incomplete here, Dad!
Why don't you study here?
There are a lot of universities here.
Why do you want to go to London?
Traditions, Dad.
Traditions.
Grandfather studied there, so did you…
and so did Rahul.
How can I undermine the traditions of this house?
Right, Dad?
Right.
So, what shall I get for you?
What does a mother's heart yearn for?
A mother's heart?
It yearns…
for her son's happiness. No matter where he is.
No matter how he is.
He should be happy.
That's all.
And a son's happiness…
lies in his mother's laughter…
and in her smile.
Something that he isn't able to see.
I promise, Mother.
I will bring the laughter back.
I will bring the smile back.
It's a son's promise.
And a brother's promise!
Your heart aches when loved ones go away, right?
It aches even more when the ones physically close to you seem far away.
I praise thee,
Mother India
I praise thee, Mother India
-Mother India! -Mother India!
I praise thee, Mother India I praise thee, Mother India
I praise thee, Mother India
Richly watered, richly fruited
Cool with the winds of south, the mother
Richly watered, richly fruited, the mother
Cool with the winds of south, the mother
Dark with the crops of harvest, the mother
I praise thee, Mother India
I praise thee…
Mother India
We are its nightingales
And it is our garden abode
Better than the entire world, is our India
Rahul! Krishi!
-Yes, Mom?! -Yes, Mom?!
-Morning, Auntie. -Good morning.
-Has your princess woken up? -Oh, yes. Pooja!
No one knows her by that name.
Call her what everyone calls her.
-Poo! -Poo!
It's raining men!
Hallelujah, it's raining men!
Amen!
It's raining men!
Hallelujah, it's raining men!
Amen!
It's raining men!
Hallelujah, it's raining men!
Amen!
It's raining men!
Hallelujah, it's raining men!
Amen!
It's raining men!
How dare you?!
You have no right to look so beautiful.
Not fair!
Morning, Mrs. Raichand.
Morning, Sprightley!
The cunning vixen is here to drop her daughter.
Such a lovely day!
How can it be a lovely day if one sees you first thing in the morning?
Now, I'm running late for work.
I was wondering if you could take Annette to school for me?
Liar! Liar! Come on!
Thank you.
-Have a good time. Buh-bye! -Bye-bye!
-Who is it, Anjali? -Your future daughter-in-law.
Oh, really?
Come, let me serve you some cornflakes.
Good morning, Annette.
Morning.
-Morning, Mr. Raichand. -Morning, sweetheart.
-You like Krish? -No!
Don't worry, girls don't like me also.
-Yeah. -The land of my country
-Thank you. -The land of my country grows
-Gold, diamonds and pearls -Dad!
-The land of my country -Anjali, we need to talk.
What is it?
-You sing this song every morning! -So?
I love it!
I think it's wonderful!
You are my Madonna!
But the neighbors were complaining.
I don't sing for them, do I?
I sing so that my son learns about our country.
I know. Our Krish has learnt everything. Tell her!
-Yes, I have learnt everything. -He has learnt nothing!
He knows nothing about our country, about our religion, our tradition, our heritage.
-Get out of my way. -I'm gone.
Our country has…
Oh, stop it, Mommy! What is this?
Hey! India is the best country in the world. Don't you dare forget it!
-Mom! -Mom!
-Take a chill pill! -Take a chill pill!
Alright, I won't say anything.
He's already half an Englishman.
Don't blame me if he completely becomes one.
Why is she shouting?
Yes, become just like her!
How do they say it? How do they talk?
Oh, hello, Mrs. Sprightley!
Oh, hello, sugar!
Would you like some tea?
Yes, with a drop of lemon in it.
Oh, and something to go with it?
Some cookies, please.
-Cookies! Lovely! -Lovely!
Enough!
We were better off in Chandni Chowk, right?
Yeah!
-Morning, Rahul. -Morning, morning.
Hello, all you beautiful people!
Fat-free!
Wow, Auntie! You're looking hot!
Thank you, babe.
Don't call me auntie.
Let me do it for you.
Yeah, love. Yeah, take it.
-What happened? -What are you wearing?
The skirt's too long, isn't it?
I just knew it. Anyway.
What is it?
You scared me!
I scared-- You scared me!
Where's the back?
-It's backless. -Backless?
Anjali, don't wait for me.
I'll be late.
-Gym class today! -Here.
-Grow up. -Grow?
-Love you! -I grow up?
I grow up?
Hey! Anjali!
Anjali! Daijaan! Come here! Come here!
How do you allow Pooja to go out wearing such skimpy clothes?
-Rahul! -Yeah?
-Take a chill pill. -Take a chill pill.
-Poo! -Poo!
Oh, damn!
Never buy things at sales!
What a bright sunny day!
Voilà!
Poo, you're looking just…
-Wow! -Wow!
Whatever…
By the way, even the two of you are looking decent today as well.
Am I looking fat?
-Fat? -Fat?
P-H-A-T!
Pretty Hot and Tempting!
Gotcha!
What are we waiting for?
Christmas?
Morning, guys! This is Kings College Radio.
It's 9:45 and Poo's just entered college!
It's raining men!
-Hallelujah, it's raining men! -Poo!
Hey, Poo!
Hi, darling!
How are you this morning?
Okay.
Park the car.
Bingo!
Hi, Poo!
Hey, Leah!
If I remember right,
you had worn the same dress the day before, right?
Why?
It suits you.
Poo, you're such a…
B-I-T-C-H, I know.
-Hallelujah! -Hallelujah!
Hey, Robbie!
Hey, Poo!
Whatever…
Movie tonight?
Tell me how it was!
Poo, the whole college loves Robbie.
-And you? -And you?
-So much attitude! -So much attitude!
He's nice!
But he's not my type!
Poo…
who is your type? And, when will you meet him?
You never know.
He might meet me anywhere, anytime.
Shut up!
He could be right here somewhere.
Oh, God! Who is this disturbing Poo this early in the morning!
Stop!
Turn!
He's so hot!
Amazing!
How dare he?
He didn't even check me out!
Who is he?
-Oh, my gosh! -Oh, my gosh!
He's so cute He's so sweet
Got to be careful I don't fall in love
He's so cute He's so sweet
Got to be careful I don't fall in love
If I make him mine He'll steal my heart
Wonder why I feel this way?
Oh, tell me who is he?
My heart skips a beat every time I see him
Oh, tell me who is he?
My heart skips a beat every time I see him
-We're cool like that! -We're cool like that!
-We're hip like that! -We're hip like that!
-Groove like that! -Groove like that!
-We'll win like that! -We'll win like that!
Whatever…
For the first time, I've seen…
A stranger so familiar
For the first time I've seen…
A stranger so familiar
There are many fish in the sea
But yet the heart beats faster for him
O Lord, I don't know how? I don't know why?
Why is my heart is beating faster?
He's so cute He's so sweet
Got to be careful I don't fall in love
If I make him mine He'll steal my heart
Wonder why I feel this way?
Oh, tell me who is he?
My heart skips a beat every time I see him
Attitude, huh?
What does he think of himself?
Just go tell him who I am.
I want to drown in her eyes
That's what I long for
I'd give it all up in a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
For years I've been seeing A face in my dreams
Maybe she is waiting for me?
Oh, Lord! What do I say? When she looks at me
With so much love in her eyes
She's so cute She's so sweet
Got to be careful I don't fall in love
If I make her mine She'll steal my heart
Wonder why I feel this way?
Oh, tell me who is she?
My heart skips a beat every time I see her
Oh, tell me who is she?
My heart skips a beat every time I see her
Come on! Come on! Come, tell us!
Tell us who you are!
Who are you?
Come on! Come on! Come, tell us!
Tell us who you are!
Who are you?
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Did Peter Piper pick a peck of pickled peppers?
Pickled peppers.
Finally got it.
Who's Peter?
Laddoo!
-Who's Laddoo? -Who's Laddoo?
You know, Rohan,
Anjali always says that…
a married woman is an amalgamation of a wife and a daughter-in-law.
She is a good wife…
but she hasn't managed to be an ideal daughter-in-law.
And your brother?
Not a single day…
not a single moment passes by when he doesn't miss his parents.
But he never says anything.
He has put up their photograph in the house.
But he doesn't even look at it.
We have made a small world for ourselves here, Rohan.
If you look from afar
it's filled with happiness…
but the closer you go,
the more sorrow you'll find.
Why are you here, Rohan?
Why now?
I had promised Rahul…
that I will never ask where he went or why he went.
But today I have realized that he doesn't think of us as his own.
That is a pain I can't bear.
I can't bear.
I have left some broken bonds back home, Pooja.
Bonds, that can only attain the status of a family only through my elder brother.
I have come to take my brother back.
To take my sister-in-law back.
But I can't do this on my own.
I will need your support, Pooja.
Will you support me?
No, no, never!
Oh, come on, Rahul. Don't be silly. He is Sonia's brother.
He's not my brother. And I didn't even know that Sonia had a brother.
So, Sonia, who's this brother?
-Brother? Who's brother? -Yeah.
Oh, my brother!
Yes, yes, Mr. Raichand.
-My first brother from India is here. -First?
I mean…
-my first cousin. -Alright, okay.
He can't stay with me.
I live in a girls' hostel. So…
technical problem, Mr. Raichand.
No.
No technical-- No! No! Come here!
Oh, come on, Rahul! It's just for a few days.
-No! -At least meet him once.
-He's a lovely boy. -I don't like lovely boys.
My house isn't a hotel for random people.
-Daijaan, please talk to her. -Why are you troubling him?
-Stop it, Auntie. -Look at the way she's talking! Yeah!
-Come on, Rahul! It's a big house and-- -No, he won't be staying here.
This big house has you wearing really small clothes.
I don't want any young man staring at you.
And I'm the boss of this house.
And I ring all the bells-- What is it?
I was just praying.
Who prays like this?
This whole family is crazy.
All the crazy people from Chandni Chowk have moved in here.
Yeah! All of them!
Anjali, Sonia's brother is in London and he has no place to stay.
Can't we give him a small room in this big house?
Pooja, you know Rahul, don't you?
Anjali, he's from India.
From India…
From our great motherland.
Remember?
-Listen to me. -No. No.
-She is trying to fool you! -Listen!
-Please listen to me! -No! No!
He is from India.
What am I supposed to do?
Do you know the population of India?
If all of them move here, where will we sleep?
-Rahul! -Let me do one thing.
I'll go to Heathrow and stand there to invite everyone arriving from India.
I'll tell them, "Please come to my house.
-My wife is crazy!" -Rahul!
She's absolutely mental!
-Chandni Chowk-- -You're being rude!
-Yes! Yes! -I don't care.
He is coming today, he's coming now, right now!
-Pooja! -Pooja!
No! He is waiting outside and I'm calling him in.
-Never! -Rahul!
-Thank you. -Thank you?!
She said "Thank you" to me?!
I will kill her. She said "Thank you" to me?!
Listen.
Excuse me…
Through smiles or through tears
We shall never part
Through smiles nor through tears
How helpless are we What is this trial by fire?
We stand so close, yet we are so far
If you are the body I am the soul
I'm your blood
We meet and yet we don't
Oh, what an illusion
These are all your boons Our smiles and our tears
We shall never part
Through smiles or through tears
Hi. Rahul.
My name is Rahul.
Yash.
My name is Yash.
He will…
stay with us.
Take his luggage.
Yeah.
Thank you, sir.
Thanks.
Namaste!
Go!
And this is your room!
Cool.
And listen,
if you ever need anything…
want anything,
don't bother asking me for it!
Listen.
What is it?
Thank you, Pooja.
Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
No!
Not yet.
No, you're not at all welcome.
If you want to live here you must follow the rules and regulations of the house.
No drinking.
No smoking.
No coming late.
And try and leave as soon as possible.
Dinner at 8:00 p.m. or starve the night
And…
stay away.
Stay away.
Hey!
Stop staring.
Let's talk more.
It feels nice.
Hey! What is so nice? Am I singing?
Why do you keep calling me "Hey"?
I have a name…
I know, but I can't say it.
Why can't you say it?
-Hey! I'm telling you I can't say it. -I get it!
So, you don't want to say my name as a sign of respect.
-That's great. -Respect?
In that case, I should return the respect as well.
-Yeah, yeah. -Can I call you brother?
Call your father that!
Don't you drag my father into this!
Actually, you can.
You have the right.
Relax! Relax!
He got scared! Poo, I think this one's a little…
I'm crazy?
You wear this jacket.
And let's go from here. She thinks I'm crazy. Hands down!
-Bye. -Shut up!
Brother.
Rohan, we were waiting for your call for such a long time.
Sorry, Mom!
Missing you guys.
Actually, not really.
Seems like both of you are right here with me.
Dad, you're looking great, Dad!
And, Mom! You look so beautiful, Mom!
Crazy boy!
By the way, Dad, the campus is giving me accommodation after a week.
Right now, I'm living with an Indian family.
Why an Indian family?
Why aren't you staying in a hotel?
They are very nice people.
When I met them, I felt like
I have known them for years.
A laughing, happy, and contented family, like we are.
Like we were.
Mom, Dad, I'll speak to you later.
-Take care. Love you. Bye. -Go on.
-Dad. -Yeah.
Is he going to pay for the call?
Yeah.
Go eat your food.
That's free as well.
Long distance.
O Lord of the entire universe…
Shut up!
There goes Madonna early in the morning.
Hi!
What happened? What happened?
If you are here, who is singing this prayer in the morning?
Goddess Saraswathi herself has incarnated in the house?
-Really? -Goddess herself!
Sorry, Goddess, my apologies!
What happened to Saraswathi here?
One minute.
The sorrows of followers
Please eliminate them in an instant
O Lord of the entire universe
You're my father You're my mother
Whom should I take refuge with?
Lord, whom should I take refuge with?
There is no one but you
Lord, there is no one but you
You are all I have
O Lord of the entire universe
What we have done, Pooja? We woke them up.
Come on. Take their blessings.
Greetings, sister!
Greetings, brother-in-law!
Greetings to you as well.
Who is this?
You are not able to recognize her because
you're seeing her fully clothed for the first time.
It's your sister-in-law.
You mean our Poo?
Very funny.
Have a sweet!
Sure.
My mother makes these.
I thought I should keep them as offerings.
-May I? -Sure.
Very nice.
May I?
-Please… -I mean…
Back home no one leaves the house without a tilak.
Mother says it's an auspicious start to the day.
Mother says?
Through smiles…
-Do it. -…or through tears
We shall never part
-Thank you. -Through smiles or through tears
Poo looks quite pretty when she wears some clothes, doesn't she?
I love laddoo.
Shit! Shit!
-Who did this? -Me, of course.
I enjoy puncturing tires.
Was that a joke?
-Yes, it was. -I don't like jokes.
I don't like you.
-Oh, really? -Yeah!
Oh, yeah?
Lift anyone?
No, I don't need it.
A guest is equal to a God. And you can't refuse a lift offered by God.
-Come on go now. -I'll take a taxi.
Give me the money you would have paid for the cab.
God, you're so cheap.
Yes, I am.
Listen, please come home early in the evening.
-Why? -Because I said so.
Okay.
I'm done. Let's leave.
You have such a big car. Why do you stay at my house? Sleep in this car.
By the way are you interested in cricket?
-Why? -Because there's a match.
India versus England!
At the oval.
I know.
I knew.
It must be the last over.
You mind if I hear the commentary?
Is it a stolen car?
No.
Is it yours?
-Yeah. -Then do as you please.
-Okay. -Okay.
Yeah.
Tremendous effort there.
This would've been a wonderful catch here by Sachin Tendulkar.
He had to make good ground
-and he almost got there. -Chill! Chill!
Now, bowled 'em!
We got them!
God! Brother I think, this time India is going to kill England!
Don't say anything now. Anything can happen at the last minute.
You can never bank on India.
You never know with India, Ro…
Did you just call me "brother"?
Why? Should I?
Why? Just drive the car carefully.
Hey! We won!
We will win!
Welcome! Welcome to the prom selection.
Like every year, Poo will decide on the boy
who will escort her to the prom.
So, here's presenting…
-Poo! -Poo!
Hello, boys!
I'll be rating you.
To go to the prom with me you have to be brilliant in three departments.
And that is…
Good looks!
And good looks!
So…
who wants to go to the prom with me?
-Me! Me! -Me! Me!
Are you ready, girls?
Let's start.
Follow me.
Two.
Three.
Not applicable.
Never mind.
-Five. -Five.
-Minus! -Minus!

You are not so bad.
I wasn't talking about myself.
I was rating you.
I like it.
I will go to the prom with him.
But, Poo, has he asked you yet?
Where will he go?
-Hallelujah! -Hallelujah!
I slipped.
I'm leaving.
Cool.
I'm leaving.
Listen…
I want to tell you something.
Finally.
Be quick. I don't have time.
Should I say it?
Say it.
Should I?
Please say it.
-You have… -Yes?
You have…
Say it, please.
Both…
Both of us.
-Both… -Both…
Both…
Both your shoes don't match.
That's the latest fashion.
I don't think you know.
Couture, darling.
You won't understand.
Robbie!
-Hi, Poo! -Robbie!
-For me? -Of course, darling.
-Thank you! -Hey, you're looking great.
And you, handsome hunk…
How're you doing?
Please tell Anjali to not wait for me.
I'll be late.
-Right? -Yeah.
Gorgeous!
Hey, guys! The DJ will take a break for five minutes
but you guys can party on with the live band.
I'll just powder my nose.
Hey, Poo! You're looking gorgeous.
Say something I don't know.
Didn't stick with the theme, huh?
You know me.
Bye.
Where are you?
-Right here. -Right here.
Wicked.
So, you and Robbie, huh?
What's up?
Whatever…
Hey, but where's Rohan?
I don't know.
And I don't care.
I hate him.
But I love you.
From the moment
I set my eyes on you
I marked you
To be mine
Don't turn your back on me
You are mine, only mine
She's the one I want
She's the one I love
She's sent to me from the heaven above
She's so cool She's so fine
Out of ten, I'd give her nine
From the moment I set my eyes on you
I marked you to be mine
Don't turn your back on me You are mine, only mine
Please say it, you are my sweetheart
You are…
You are my sweetheart
You are…
You are my sweetheart
From the moment I set my eyes on you
I marked you to be mine
Don't turn your back on me You are mine, only mine
I accede, you are my sweetheart
-You are… -You are…
-You are my sweetheart -You are my sweetheart
-You are… -You are…
-You are my sweetheart -You are my sweetheart
I'm wounded by your love
How is that my fault?
That's a nice line to fool me
But it won't work on me
It has taken years for us To meet each other
Hope these moments last forever
This moment of bliss intoxicates me
Please say it, you are my sweetheart
I accede, you are my sweetheart
You are…
You are my sweetheart
You are…
You are my sweetheart
Your presence drives me crazy
I can't think straight
I've been dreaming about
you day and night
I want to hold you tight
I am yours forever, I vow today
Let's both vow at this moment That we'll never love each other less
One! Two! Three! Hey!
Please say it, you are my sweetheart

From the moment I set my eyes on you
I marked you to be mine
Don't turn your back on me You are mine, only mine
Please say it, you are my sweetheart
I accede, you are my sweetheart
You are…
You are my sweetheart
You are…
You are my sweetheart
Dad, come here! These programs aren't working.
Come fast!
One minute. What happened?
Krish!
You should start from the beginning.
Hi! Good morning!
Any calls?
Mr. Vajpayee had called for you, he wants you back in India.
"Any calls?"
Funny!
Actually, I'm expecting a call from Dad.
Today's a special day.
-It's his-- -What's the date today, Dad?
6th September.
-Come on, Pooja! -Morning, boys!
Couldn't you wear decent clothes today at least?
You're wearing these strange black clothes.
Do you know everyone was staring at us in the temple?
If everyone was staring at me instead of God then it's not my problem.
Anyway, black makes me look thin.
And green makes you look fat.
Go to hell!
Did you hear that, Rahul? She speaks nonsense even on Dad's birthday?
Today is Dad's birthday.
Today is Dad's birthday?
Look at her, from Poo to Parvati… What happened to you?
Stop it, Anjali.
It's the Indian touch. It's in.
Please have some.
It's the offering from the prayer.
But aren't offerings on birthday done for the dead?
I know. But Dad was a very fun-loving man.
He used to say, even after I go always remember me on a happy day.
That's why every year on his birthday Pooja and
I have a special prayer for him.
If he had seen Pooja like this today, he would've been unconscious.
Anjali!
You must feel sad that he is no longer with you now.
Yes, we do.
It's important to have the warmth of elders in a house…
or else a family always feels incomplete, right?
Rahul…
Don't you miss him?
Don't you miss your father?
You guys haven't had your breakfast.
Pooja! Krishi!
Come on. Please come.
Come on.
Happy birthday, Dad.
Through smiles or through tears
We shall never part
-Through smiles or through tears -Happy birthday!
I forgot.
The one who is not here is etched in my memory…
I forget about the one who is right here.
What present should I give you?
Just get back my Nandini for me.
We have lost each other in this big house.
Just get back my Nandini for me.
I want nothing else.
Nothing else.
Listen…
What's the matter?
Your affection is quite overwhelming.
Yes, that's because you are looking extremely…
what do they call it? "Sexy."
No, no!
Krish will see us.
I know he's around.
That should have been my line.
Go now.
My bag and my coat.
I'll just get it.
Come on!
Give it! Thank you!
The day after tomorrow it's Karwa Chauth.
What am I supposed to do?
You don't do anything.
Like every year, there's an Indian women's charity function.
-Lovely. -Make a note of it.
Okay, I'll do that. I'll see you. Bye!
You are leaving?
"Sexy"?
Come here.
What is it?
Bite?
This is my apple, right?
Why are you eating my apple?
Come here.
He keeps popping up everywhere.
Bye.
Namaste.
So, Karwa Chauth!
Yes, it's the day after tomorrow.
So, you must have received the sargi.
Sargi?
Sargi…
Don't you know what sargi is?
It's a ritual for the festival of karwa chauth.
It's something that every mother-in-law sends to her daughter-in-law.
Hasn't your mother-in-law sent it to you?
I…
My…
Some elder person from your family must be sending it to you.
No.
Don't worry.
This year you will get your sargi.
My mother…
she will explain everything to you.
Hello?
Greetings to you, my child!
Greetings.
My son speaks so much about your family that I feel like…
I'm there with all of you.
He has become a part of our small family.
I hope he is not troubling you too much.
Child, sargi is something that
every mother-in-law sends to her daughter-in-law.
Some sweets,
a few almonds and…
signs of marital bliss…
and…
lots of love.
I'll send it to you.
I will think that I've sent it to my daughter-in-law.
Okay, my child,
I'll hang up now.
Okay.
Thank you.
At times…
why do strangers seem like they are our own?
Thank you.
And at times…
the ones who are our own seem like strangers.
Listen…
I'm fasting to mark the festival of karwa chauth.
Really?
For whom?
-What's going on there? -Something that doesn't happen here.
Okay.
The Karwa chauth fast?
For me?
Why?
Who am I to you?
You don't have the guts to tell your brother and his wife
how you are related to them.
Stop bragging.
Let me go.
-Why is she holding his hand? -Let me go.
Alright.
What if I tell them?
Today, right here…
what if I tell them the truth?
What will you do?
Tell me.
I don't think you will be able to.
You are scared.
What if I do?
Then I will tell everyone what's in my heart.
Really?
Is that so?
It's a bet.
Don't bet with me, you might regret it.
Maybe, that's what I want.
But looking at you…
Oh, my God!
I wonder if this is all a dream.
Dream?
Yes… How can anyone be so scared?
Oh, Lord Rama you're great!
What a pair you've made!
What pair?
Shut up!
To my brother and sister-in-law
Many congratulations
Oh, Lord Rama you're great!
What a pair you've made!
To my brother and sister-in-law
Many congratulations
The most essential tradition in this world
Is the union of two hearts
Oh, Lord Rama you're great!
What a pair you've made!
To my brother and sister-in-law
Many congratulations
Oh, Lord Rama you're great!
What a pair you've made!
So sweet!
Shut up!
Your turn.

No! No!
Feel it from here! From here!
Got it?
-No! -No!
Whatever…
-Your aunt's a bit silly. -I know.
And so are you.
Take it from the top!
One! Two! Three! Show!
-Idiots! -You are crazy.
My son has become a complete Englishman.
No. Not at all.
Really, Auntie,
sometimes I wish we were living in India.
And Krishi would sing the same songs that I grew up singing.
But we are here and I have become "mommy" instead of being a mother.
Why do you think so, Anjali? Whatever the language may be
the culture is yours, right?
-It's not the same, Auntie. -Mommy!
This is what I mean.
I'm coming!
Milk and cookies, anyone?
Crazy girl!
By the way, DJ-- Daijaan, What are these children doing?
There's some function in Krish's school. They are rehearsing for it.
We're going for it.
You will join us, won't you?
Yeah.
I'll be back.
Function?
Oh, God!
What do I do with this?
Let's try one more time.
One more time.
Okay, yeah.
What are you doing? I'll do it.
Leave it. Daijaan. I'll do it myself.
I'll do it myself, Daijaan.
Let me do it, Daijaan.
DJ!
My little child!
My child!
I knew it.
My heart kept telling me…
that it was my Rohan!
Oh, God! Look how big you've grown up to be.
My baby!
You lied to your DJ as well? You didn't even tell me?
Why? My child, why?
Didn't I keep telling you, Anjali? See, it's my little child!
It's my child.
You have come back to me.
My child!
Anjali!
Come on! Where are my keys?
Daijaan!
I'm coming!
Coming…
I'm coming!
Mr. and Mrs. Hollingsworth, table two, please.
-Ah, the Raichands! -Hi!
Mr. and Mrs. Raichand…
-Mrs. Khan… -Hello.
-And the lovely Poo… -Excuse me.
Go on.
Yeah.
And he is?
He is…
He is family.
He is family, yeah.
Come.
Oh! Where is Anjali?
-I'm so sorry! -No.
I didn't mind at all!
Nor did I!
-That's number 11. -Wine!
Come on.
Oh, my God! Is this our table?
They do this all the time. Look at this, Auntie.
They give the front-row seats to the shining white army.
Why do they always do it?
-Let it be, Anjali. -No, Auntie!
-Where is that silly principal? -Anjali stop screaming!
All that noise, had to be Mrs. Raichand!
Good evening!
The cunning vixen is here.
Oh, is this your table?
Yeah, it's our table, Mrs. Sprightley.
-Mine's right at the front, at the bar. -Look, Auntie!
Is she the Queen of England that she's got the table in the front?
Ladies and gentlemen, we're about to start.
Could you please settle down?
-We should all settle down. -Oh, time to go.
Please go, you silly woman. Hope your table starts shaking,
hope your chair breaks to pieces.
Same to you, darling.
Okay.
Should we sit?
Welcome, ladies and gentlemen to the Milford Primary School
Annual Day function.
Okay, Anjali.
Warning. Behave yourself.
People have been complaining about you.
Last year you had created a ruckus at this function!
Krishi is performing. Very nice. What's the big deal?
-There's no need to get so hyper! -Hey!
You just shut up and stop this Englishwoman act of yours!
-I think Pooja is-- -You keep quiet.
-I'm quiet. -My son's on stage.
I will at least whistle once.
-No. No whistling. No! -Just one--
And our opening act is by Class Four.
"Do-Re-Mi" from the sound of music, headed by Krish Raichand.
Oh, God! Who's this woman? I don't know her.
Please sit down.
-Watch him! -Krish!
"Krish!"
How sweet my son looks!
-He looks just like you, cutie! -Yeah.
Cutie?
God, please protect my son.
Your son is just performing, not fighting a war on the border.
-Come on! -Come on!
What "come on"?
This one's for you, Mom!
-My son! My son! -Our son.
Now sing your, "Do-Re-Mi."
Thou art the ruler Of the minds of all people
Dispenser of India’s destiny
Thy name rouses the hearts Of Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat and Maratha
Of the Dravida and Orissa and Bengal
It echoes in the hills Of the Vindhyas and Himalayas
Mingles in the music of Jamuna and Ganges
And is chanted by the waves Of the Indian Sea
They pray for thy blessings And sing thy praise
They sing the songs of your victory
Thou dispenser of India’s destiny
Thou art the ruler Of the minds of all people
Dispenser of India’s destiny
Victory!
Sorry.
Victory, victory, victory to thee.
My son!
Hail India!
Did you do this?
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the star of the show.
Mr. Raichand, your son is really fantastic.
Hey, Krishi!
You were amazing!
Thank you, Auntie.
Don't call me Auntie!
Not here, at least.
Now tell me something…
You must have been a little nervous?
I was a little nervous. But someone said something to me…
and everything was alright.
Really?
What did the person say?
Just a minute.
If you want to be someone in life, if you want to achieve something
if you want to win, always listen to your heart.
And if your heart doesn't answer…
Close your eyes and think of your parents.
And then you will cross all the hurdles
all your problems will vanish, victory will be yours.
-I promise. -I promise.
Wow, that's cool advice.
Who said this? Your Dad?
No, he told me.
Through smiles or through tears
We shall never part
Through smiles or through tears
Did you take care of mother?
Did you get selected for the cricket team?
Good.
How did you manage to lose so much weight?
Come here!
Why didn't you tell me?
Come back home, Rahul.
Please come back home.
Come back home, Rahul.
-Did Dad send you? -Yeah.
Rohan, now this is my family.
These are my people.
This is my world!
And the home you are talking about
was never mine in the first place…
and will never be.
You go back now. Just go back. You…
I have seen you again,
that's enough for me.
Go back.
Go! Please.
Do you know, Rahul,
You always used to say…
that mother loved you more than she loves me.
I never liked it back then.
I used to get angry.
But today, I would like to tell you, that you were right.
Mother loves you more than she loves me.
I know.
She loves you too much.
And she will always.
She will always love you.
I know.
He hasn't forgotten Dad's words.
He will never come back.
He will come, Rohan.
He will definitely come back.
I know my brother-in-law very well.
Just get him to meet Mom and Dad.
Once.
Can you do that?
Good morning, Dad!
Hey, Rohan!
What's up?
You know, Dad? It's just amazing.
I had a strange dream last night.
I dreamt that you and Mom had come to London to surprise me.
Really?
-Then? -Nothing, Dad.
The alarm went off.
Dream over. I mean…
Why would you and Mom come to London to surprise me?
Right, Dad?
Yeah, right.
Rohan!
Yeah, I'm coming. Dad, I have to go.
I'll speak to you later
And, Dad…
Love you, Dad.
Miss you.
-Bye. -Bye, son.
Bye.
It's done.
Hey, Dad! How are you doing? What's up?
-Guess where we are. -Where, Dad?
London!
London? What are you saying? I don't believe it!
Is it ever possible that my son dreams of something
and I don't complete it?
You're the best, Dad!
Tell me where you are right now, we want to meet you right now.
Not so easy, Dad.
You are meeting me after such a long time.
You have to buy me a present.
Present?
Right now?
You meet me at 05:00 p.m. at the Blue Water Shopping mall.
But tell me what you want, my child.
You will find it there, Dad.
The Blue Water Mall! Yeah!
Yeah, yeah, Johnny! Yeah, I'll call you later.
You have a nice weekend.
Do you know if he has an iCam?
No, no.
What is it called?
iPack!
No?
Okay, I'll check here.
-What are you doing? -I'm looking for the receipts.
-What receipts? -To return the clothes.
If you have to return them,
why do you buy them in the first place? Indians!
India is the best country in the world, right, Mom?
-My son! -Mother's stooge!
-Hello! -Hello, Mrs. Meena!
Did you tape that?
That Indian serial, Kyon ki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi.
What a brilliant twist!
The son dies.
-Oh, God! Really? -Yeah.
You've spoiled it for me.
-Mrs. Chadha! Mrs. Chadha! -Not fair!
Please control Mr. Chadha!
-What are you doing? -I can deal with the hugs.
-But he keeps kissing me as well. -You have never kissed me so much.
-Come home, darling! -Yeah, go on.
If Chadha kisses me again I won't spare him!
-Did I ask him to kiss you? -Alright, enough.
I wish…
To give you a warm hug
To never let you out of my sight
I wish to give you a warm hug
To never let you out of my sight
We're so close, yet so far
How helpless we are
My heart cries out
And so do my eyes
Through smiles or through tears
We shall never part Through smiles or through tears
Hey!
Watch where you're going, young man.
Thank you.
Excuse me.
Lies!
You lied to me.
Yes, Dad…
I lied to you.
What would I have achieved had I told you the truth?
-I wouldn't be able to break your ego. -Rohan!
It is ego, isn't it?
That separates a mother from her child.
That takes away a brother from his sibling.
-That separates a father from a son-- -He's not my son!
I don't believe that he is my son.
Did he fulfill his duties as a son?
He didn't.
He did, Dad.
He did.
He has always fulfilled them.
He only made one mistake…
love.
If that is a crime in your eyes, so be it.
But isn't it your duty as a father to forgive him?
But you punished him.
What kind of punishment is this, Dad?
What punishment is this?
Just look into my eyes and say that
you don't feel the pain of parting with him.
Say that you don't miss him.
Say that you don't love him.
Say it, Dad.
Say it.
I don't love him.
I said it, didn't I?
That's it.
God has blessed you with everything, Dad.
Everything.
-I just wish he had given you a heart! -Shut up!
You irreverent child!
You love him.
You love him a lot.
I have my answer.
You really love him.
Let's go back, Rahul.
Let's go back.
This is not our country.
These are not our people.
We have set up a house here…
but have you ever wondered what kind of a home is this…
that doesn't have a mother's warmth or a father's blessings?
Let's go back, Rahul.
Mom and Dad are here.
They are right here.
They are our elders, Rahul.
They are a little angry with us.
But we will apologize.
I know…
they are as incomplete without us…
as we are without them.
We will apologize, Rahul.
-Let's go back. -Anjali…
Anjali…
You will never understand.
Taking a stranger in your family…
and then abandoning him.
You can never understand the pain.
I agree they are our elders…
but even they don't have the right to break my heart.
They don't have the right to break my heart.
It would be best if you could call him.
Yeah?
Yash…
Yash, it was her last wish to have Rahul…
Just wait for a while.
I know he will definitely come.
We don't need to wait for anyone.
Rohan.
Rahul and Anjali are leaving.
They are leaving tomorrow.
They didn't even come home.
If you ask them--
Do you know…
my mother always told me…
a husband is God.
No matter what he says…
no matter what he thinks…
he is always right.
You brought Rahul home one day.
You were right.
You gave him lots of love…
You were right.
He became a part of our family.
He became my life…
You were right.
Absolutely right!
Then…
one day he went away.
Wrong
You let him leave.
You were wrong!
You separated a mother from her child.
You were wrong!
Our family was ripped to pieces.
You were wrong.
How does that make you a God?
God can't do any wrong, can he?
My husband is just a human being.
He's just human.
He's no God.
You're no God.
Nandini…
I said it…
didn't I?
That's it!
Rahul!
Since the day you left…
Mom has only seen you through his eyes.
He is the one who gave a mother…
the strength to stay away from her son.
Please swear on him…
that you will come home at least once.
Just once, Rahul.
Even if it is for a moment.
Even if it is for a day.
Let Anjali feel at least once that she is the daughter-in-law of this family.
She is a part of the family.
At least see the photograph…
that has kept your memory alive in Mom's eyes for the last ten years.
Please, Rahul.
Just one time.
Then you can leave
No one will stop you.
That one memory,
that one moment, will give Mom
the strength to live her entire life.
To live her entire life.
Please do it for her.
No--
Why am I so helpless?
Why do I feel so powerless?
We are so close, yet so far away
Did my words really hurt so bad that you had to leave?
You didn't even look back once.
Didn't come back even once.
Didn't come back.
Did you call me back, Dad?
Did I have to call you back?
I am the elder one. Do I have to call you back?
I am the elder one.
I thought you didn't love me.
I thought you didn't think of me as your son.
How could you think that?
How could you?
I brought you into this house for the first time with these hands.
You completed our family. You fulfilled all our dreams.
How could you?
I thought you didn't love me.
Didn't love me…
I love you a lot, my son.
I love you a lot.
I Just…
just…
couldn't say it.
I've missed you every moment, every day, for these past ten years.
I thought of you so much that, I felt like embracing you and…
telling you how much I love you.
I just…
just couldn't say it.
When elders get angry,
their anger is a part of their love, son.
I was angry. My words hurt you so bad that you left.
And I didn't even call you back.
Why would you call me?
I should have returned.
-Yes. -I should have returned.
Why didn't you come?
Why didn't you?
This is your home. You are the eldest son of the family.
You are my son. My son.
And now…
I'm growing old, my son.
I'm growing old.
Please forgive me.
-Please forgive me. -Dad!
Please forgive me.
-Please forgive me. -Dad.
Come here, son.
Son…
sometimes, the youngsters in the house
show the right path to the elders in the family.
I kept you away from your brother for years.
Please forgive me if you can.
-Dad! -Please forgive me.
Dad!
