Hey! Are you going to take a bath or I should go?
No! I'm going.
Hey! Hurry up!
Bruce Lee.
What's going on, Anand?
Nothing, mother.
Nothing!
Sorry, Bruce Lee. I'll keep you with me.
Mamma, who put this photo in the dustbin?
Which photo?
Look.
I don't know.
Please sew a Bruce Lee uniform for me, mamma.
Like this?
You will look like a joker.
Bruce looks like a joker?
Of course.
You know nothing.
I bet nobody in India has a body like Bruce Lee's.
Not just India, in the entire galaxy.
I bet nobody has a body like his in the entire milky way.
It was such a lovely movie. I enjoyed it very much.
It's not just a movie. It is real.
Bruce Lee is not bloated like our actors.
He doesn't get duplicates to do his stunts.
He does them himself.
Dabba.
You want to be the next Bruce Lee?
Why? Don't you want to be like him?
Hey.
Sarojini Naidu was an Indian Political activist and a poet...
...born on 13th Feb 1879.
She was an important figure in India's struggle of independence.
For her lyrical quality in the poetry.
She participated in salt march held in 1930.
She was also the first President of Indian National Congress in 1925.
Stop it, Dabba.
You won't become Bruce Lee if you eat with chopsticks.
I know. And I also know how to become like him.
We will take the College road after school.
I've heard that karate classes are conducted there in the evenings.
Give me a lift.
Let's go and ask hum.
Uncle.
Sorry. Master, I want to be like Bruce Lee.
We have to come here every evening after school?
I won't join. I want to play.
- Me too. - Yes.
Hah! I shall join and then I will teach you.
We must have at least one black belt in the gang.
- Father. - Hmm.
Look. I scored nine out of ten.
Very good!
Good.
You should get ten out of ten.
Next time for sure, father.
Father, I want to learn karate.
Karate? Do you want to be rowdy?
What is the connection between karate and rowdy?
Only rowdy people learn karate.
Oh! Bruce Lee is not rowdy.
Look, Anand, don't even think about it.
Those people eat worms, ants, snakes and scorpions and fight all day long.
We are simple Brahmans.
Concentrate on your studies.
That's all.
Okay?
I know that my confession made my father feel absolutely safe about me...
...and increased his affection for me beyond my share.
So what did you learn from this story.
Why did you Gandhiji write a letter?
He could have just told him, no?
- Miss. - Yes.
Sometimes it's easy to write down than to tell.
Excellent answer!
Dear father, I badly want to learn karate.
I know you will give me permission but I also need your blessings.
I am doing this not only for myself.
When I become a black belt people will respect our family much more.
If you will allow me to learn karate...
...I promise that I will obey whatever mamma tells me...
...and that I will never fight with Sriram again.
I read your letter.
Very well written.
Convent has made you smart...
...but there was one thing I did not understand.
If you will allow me to learn karate...
...I promise that I will obey whatever mamma tells me...
...and that I will never fight with Sriram again.
That would mean if I don't permit you then you won't obey your mamma...
...and continue to fight with Sriram.
No, father. That wasn't..
That is what the letter suggests.
Anand, you must follow everything mamma and Sriram tell you.
No strings attached.
As for bringing respect to our family...
....you will be respected if you study well.
For you as well as for the family.
That is why...
...our family doesn't need karate.
Dabba, Shirish has joined the karate classes.
When will you join?
Father forbade me. As always.
Do you know who can teach us? Omi.
Who is that?
Omkar. We call him Omi.
Who is Omkar?
- The maid who works at our house.. - Yes! Shanta.
Yes. Her son is a waiter at Chandrika restaurant.
Hey, Vishak. I don't want to be idli.
I want to be Bruce Lee.
He's a black belt. He's been learning for the past 8 years.
Vishak, please introduce us.
Where's Omi?
Omi. Omi.
Give me a minute.
Yes, Vishak. You want something to eat?
No, no. My friend Dabba is hungry, not I.
- What can I bring you? - One plate karate.
He wants to learn karate.
I see.
I get a half hour break. I will see you then.
I want to do it.
It takes years.
Let's begin with exercises.
Okay.
Handstands.
Oh!
Wow!
Do it.
Down. Down. Down. Lower down.
Hurry up.
Do it.
That's for your core.
Start with this. Practice it daily.
I will show you the following exercises later.
Omi, when will you come next?
I don't know. Let's see.
It's tough for me to make time.
Thanks, Omi.
Oh! Mamma!
What are you doing, Anand?
Bruce Lee!
Enough already, Dabba. Return our bags.
No, Vishak. I am Bruce Lee.
Hey, Nijo! Nijo!
On the 16th of June 1730 we discovered..
Shirish.
Anand.
Get up.
Show me your knuckles.
Show me.
It hurts so much.
I don't feel it.
She must have hit you lightly.
No, she hit me just as hard.
Well? Are you Superman?
I eat eggs daily.
Oh! I am a pure Brahman. Eggs are forbidden.
Who says eggs are non-vegetarian?
Do you know how many protein they contain?
Bruce Lee eats 32 eggs in a day.
Mamma, are eggs allowed in our house?
If you even mention eggs in our house,
I will beat you like Bruce Lee.
- Mamma. - Hmm.
Eggs have lot of protein.
Eggs are good for health. Eggs increase our height.
Anand,
you do what you want and eat what you want outside.
Don't come and tell me.
Scoot!
Mamma, are eggs allowed?
Omi. Omi. Please teach me something new.
I hope you have been exercising.
Yes.
But it is very difficult, and boring too.
For sure. It takes years. You have to continue working hard.
So, you can give me something new to work on.
I'm sorry, Dabba.
It is very difficult for me to make time.
But there's something you can do.
There are two very important things in karate.
One is strength and the other is fear.
One has to learn to conquer fear.
How?
Face your fear. Strengthen your mind.
Well, I have to go now.
I can't tell. Are you sure we are going to see Haley's comet today?
Let me look.
Ashwini. Ashwini.
It should be a little towards this side.
Yes. That's fine.
Let's go. It's getting late. I am sleepy.
Yes, let's go.
They will show the NASA pictures on TV next week.
In full close up.
Oh!
Alright.
'There are two very important things in karate.'
'One is strength and the other is fear.'
'One has to learn to conquer fear.'
Mamma! Bruce Lee. Mamma!
This is called a nanchaku.
This weapon has been invented by Bruce Lee.
To use it you have to know its mass and gravity...
...as it can hurt you when you use it.
You have to have control over it when you want to hit someone.
You can use it like so.
Got it?
Do you understand?
Giddy.
Yes.
Can I tell you something interesting, Giddy?
There are three things to follow in karate.
The first is strength. Second is no fear.
It takes time to master these two.
Anyway, the third is nanchaku. If you have it nobody will mess with you.
So? What do you want now?
Nothing, Giddy.
Let's go to the loco shed and bring a chain.
I want to make a nanchaku. Come.
No, I'm not coming.
Why?
Because you are selfish.
You only think of Giddy when you want something.
Do what you have to do yourself.
Giddy.
Mamma.
Bruce Lee.
Stop this, Bruce Lee's disciple.
What's the matter, Subbarao sir?
You appear to be deep in thought.
Anand is getting spoiled...
...although I admitted him to a convent school.
For some reason he is always up to some mischief.
He is obsessed with karate now.
He wants to be Bruce Lee.
He hit Sriram with a stick and a chain.
Subbarao, he is a child.
Let him learn karate if he wants to.
Karate will do the job of disciplining him which you failed to do.
How will karate teach discipline? It's all about beating.
Making noises and hitting someone. That's all.
That's even better. You won't hit the children.
They will beat the children to teach them discipline.
- Anand. - Yes, father.
You want to join karate classes, right?
Yes.
Go ahead.
But you are not to use...
...that stick and chain thing.
Okay, father.
Bruce Lee.
- Bruce Lee. - One. Two.
Three.
- Bruce Lee. - Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Continue.
Bruce Lee.
Another 20. Then you do stretches.
One. Two. Three.
Four. Five. Six.
Seven. Eight. Nine. Ten.
Eleven. Twelve.
He only let me exercise today. He didn't teach me karate.
This will go on for one month.
Abstract noun.
Name of quality, feeling, state or action.
Anand!
Guys, quiet!
So, types of nouns.
Frog jump. Start!
Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Slow. Slow. Come on.
Dabba! No cheating.
Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
Come on. Very good! Very good!
Very good! Yes! Very good!
Yes! Come on! Good! Good! Good!
Dabba, don't you have karate classes today?
I missed you guys. I took a break for one day.
Come on. Let's begin again.
Why didn't you come for the past three days?
Sir.. Master.. Loose motions..
Hmm.
Come on. Begin pushups.
Okay.
Once again!
Come on! One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Change your leg and stretch.
Move. Move. Move in line. Move in line. Line. Line.
Come on, Shirish. Line.
Sorry, Bruce Lee. I don't want to learn karate anymore.
Don't mind, okay.
I want to play. I want to read novels.
I know that everyone will laugh at me but I will handle it.
Promise.
Ahhhhhh! Mamma!
Ahhhh! Mamma!
What is the matter?
Where are you?
Listen. I think Anand has had a fall.
Ahhh! Mamma.
Were you bathing?
Ahh!
Good thing you didn't latch the door.
- What happened? - Ahh.
- How did you fall? - Oh!
- Oh no. - I slipped, father.
Where did you get hurt? Are you hurt?
I slipped, mamma. Poor guy.
Did you finish your bath or not?
Come here. Come here.
Take off your pants and show me.
What?
Come.
You get up to one antic or another daily.
- Here. - I slipped, mamma.
Switch off the gas, Sriram.
Come.
Come here.
Rest.
I'll apply some balm.
Hand the balm to me.
We'll go to the Doctor if the pain doesn't lessen by evening.
But I have to go for karate classes, mamma.
No need to go either to karate or to school until you feel better.
But I love karate, mamma.
No ifs and buts. No karate!
Get some rest.
Come.
I already received his letter.
And is everything okay at home?
Anand had a fall in the bathroom.
Huh?
Good. He stopped going to karate classes.
I hope he wasn't hurt.
He was not hurt. I know.
- I'll leave now. - Okay.
- See you. - okay.
Good.
Hey!
Hey! My cycle!
Mr. Subbarao! What's the matter, sir?
Hey!
