Mom. Why can't I eat marshmallow sandwich...
...with vanilla ice-cream and chilli sauce for evening snacks?
Yes, sister?
Even I like to have pepperoni pizza for breakfast.
Aunt Shefali, do you make hotdogs and doughnuts also?
Ah... No.
[doorbell ringing]
Zoru, it's your turn.
I can't even have my breakfast in peace.
So, guys. What's the plan for today?
-[Reva] Hi, kids. -[Yohan] Hi.
Are you having fun? Aunt Shefali is so much fun, right?
- You know what, Shef? - Hmm.
Pratik loves coming here.
And he loves your cooking too.
It's just cereal, Reva.
[Shefali] You get it in every supermarket.
Come.
I have understood your entire game plan, Reva.
You leave Pratik here every other day...
...so that you can go to the gym and stay fit.
But what about me?
I have no time to go to the gym.
You are drinking healthy smoothies.
What are you drinking?
Hmm. Apple, banana? Kale?
So come. Why don't you join me?
Because there is no Shef in my life, Reva.
But there can be one.
What do you mean?
Take out the class list. Play Eeny, meeny, miny, moe...
...and then call one of Yohan's friends' moms.
Give her the responsibility of handling these two.
Give her a headache.
And then claim your destiny.
You're an evil genius, Reva.
Your name should have been Chucky and not Reva.
[Title Montage]
Hmm.
So, after making someone else responsible for the kids...
...how did you feel?
It felt good.
I feel that sometimes when I get caught up in pushing myself from being nice to very nice...
...I end up neglecting my own self.
It felt good to do something for myself for a change.
The virtue of selfishness.
Rishabh. What do you think about this?
- Ah... Rishabh. - Hmm.
Sorry, I was thinking about something else.
Actually, Rishabh is a bit distressed about financial difficulties these days.
And because of this, his behaviour has become quite strange.
For instance?
Dude, I don't understand one thing.
Why did you fire the car cleaner?
Surya, we should get used to doing our own work, man!
Plus it's damn good exercise.
Okay, fine.
But you had said that Yohan will clean our cars when he grows up.
Even I was let down, man!
Unfortunately, Yohan has not learnt the value of hard work.
Sad.
Hey, do you know...
...Mrs. Lakdawala is selling her flat?
She has some financial crisis.
What are you saying, man?
I wanted that same flat. What is she asking for it?
I don't know. Do you want to buy?
The thing is, Surya, anyone can have a financial crisis anytime.
That is why we should know...
- ...what is the value of a house in our area. - Correct.
- Shall we call and check? - Yes. Call her...
- Hey... - Yes.
Call her on the landline number.
Otherwise if she gets to know that we are calling her...
...she will increase the rate.
It should be real.
Obviously, bro.
I didn’t become a bank manager just like that.
[phone ringing]
[Mrs. Lakdawala] Hello.
Hello.
Mrs. Lakdawala.
I heard that you're selling your flat.
- What are you asking for it? -[Mrs. Lakdawala] Who is this?
This... This is Surya speaking.
- Hey... - It could also be some other Surya, right?
Relax.
Yes. Hello, Mrs. Lakdawala.
Hello... My name is Retired Judge Kamat.
What price are you selling at?
[Mrs. Lakdawala] But who are you?
Actually, Mrs. Lakdawala, we both are calling together.
To save our phone balance.
By the way, Mrs. Lakdawala...
...how old are you?
Going by your voice, you appear...
- It could also be some other Mrs. Lakdawala, right? - What are you doing, man?
[Mrs. Lakdawala] You ill-mannered person.
I don't want to sell my flat to you.
Mrs. Lakdawala...
Please don't be offended.
We are genuine buyers.
- Yes. - We'll pay more than the market rate.
Much more.
- Okay, seven crores. - Eight crores.
Nine crores.
[Mrs. Lakdawala] It would be possible to make a deal for 10 crores.
Congratulations...
What are you saying, dude?
When we bought our flats, they were five and a half crores.
Now, they are worth ten crores.
Our property value has increased so much, man!
- Cheers. - Cheers. Cheers.
- Rishabh, really... - I know...
I got carried away.
But in these times of heavy inflation...
...if a lie is comforting, you should believe it.
The roots of financial anxiety...
...are usually connected with one's childhood.
Did some incident occur in your childhood...
- ...because of which... - Of course, it happened.
Really? When?
I haven't ever told you about it.
It was the summer of 89.
Dad had promised me that we'll go to Switzerland for my birthday.
Really? Switzerland?
I mean Switzerland or Kerala. I can't fully remember.
But that's not the point.
And just at that time, dad's business incurred a huge loss.
And he became completely depressed.
He used to get headaches daily.
Mom and I couldn't see dad in this condition.
That's why we cancelled our Switzerland plan...
...and, after a few days, he became totally alright.
- But I never went to Switzerland. - You mean Kerala.
Yes. May be it was Kerala.
This incident had a really bad impact on me.
And, even today, if there's a problem in my business...
...I get very anxious.
I mean look... Look at my hand right now.
And just like his dad...
...Rishabh makes sure that his entire family has to live with it.
Specially on their birthdays.
Oh.
Okay. I will read the names from the list.
You keep writing on the birthday party invites.
Shef...
Please, please let's send WhatsApp messages, man.
This is such a waste of paper, time and money.
So, that the rumours about us are proven right?
- What are the rumours? - That we are a miserly couple.
- Start writing. - Okay. I'm ready.
- Okay. Amar. - Wait.
Aman, Amaan, Arman, Ayan...
- One minute, man! - Get with it.
Arhan, Aryan.
- Aryaman, Aryamaan. - One minute...
- Aryaman or Aryamaan? - Both.
- Uh-ho... - Now continue.
- Homar with an H. - One minute.
- Hrishanth with an H. - One second, man!
Hridaan we an H.
Rishabh. How will I come to my own party?
I don't need an invite.
- Hrishabh with an H... - Yup.
Karan Patel, Karan Poddar, Karan Patwardhan.
Karan Mehta, Karan Mehra. Karan Malhotra.
- Karan Mehrotra. - How many more, man?
How many Karans are there? Is there a battalion of Karans?
Do you remember we were going to name Yohan Karan?
Let's continue.
- Liam. Lakshya. - One minute. One minute, Shef.
My hands are aching already.
How many names are left?
About 35 more.
- 35 more? - Yeah.
What is happening in this house?
Yoyo.
- Yoyo. -[Yohan] Yes, Dad.
Yohan, why do you have to be friends with so many people?
Can't you be a little selective, difficult and moody?
Are you a cycle that anyone can hop on to it? Huh?
Don't you dare make any more friends? Okay?
[Rishabh] Look, Yohan.
Your childhood will never come back again.
Spend some time with yourself. Alone.
Yes, Dad. I guess now I should go to my room.
Yes.
Amazing.
Now that's the man I married.
The one who grew up with absolutely no friends.
Correct.
But I must confess, when this happened to Yoyo...
...I was a bit relieved.
After all organising a birthday party...
...for 50 plus kids is a real nightmare.
And as you know Rish is not of much help.
But I never thought that Rish will do the same on my birthday too.
One minute.
So, you remembered Shefali's birthday this time?
Of course... Reminders.
So, what went wrong?
I mean, what did you do?
I went to the mall and everything was on sale.
So, I mean I just couldn't resist.
This is mom's new birthday present.
And this is mom's old hair dryer.
Break this motherfattu.
Very good.
Very good, my boy. Very good.
[Shefali] Rish.
What are you doing here? Get out of here.
Huh? What happened to it?
How did it break?
I don't know. It must be cheap.
It wasn't cheap. I don't buy cheap stuff.
[Shefali] Thank God, I have another one.
Let me see.
Have you lost it?
I don't know what happened, Shef.
It was a reflex action.
I felt as if the dryer is plugged into a socket...
...and I am getting electric currents.
What is wrong with you, man?
Forget all that.
Your birthday is coming.
And this year I've bought such a gift for you that you will really need it.
- Got it. - What is this?
This is my portable hairdryer.
- I use it when I travel. - Let me see.
Let me see. One minute. It's so cute.
I just want to see how nice it is, man.
Rish!
What kind of a terrible dryer is this? Huh?
It's not at all durable.
Speaking of durable, I remembered that your birthday is coming.
And this year I have got a very special gift for your birthday...
...which is the day after tomorrow.
It's the day after that actually. And what's wrong with you?
- Let me think. - Love.
Love. Baby, love.
- I have once again fallen in love with my wife. - Oh.
[Shefali] Found it.
Look at these carefully.
Don't you dare touch even one of them. Okay?
What?
Look, as a kid, I was taught...
...that it's the thought that counts.
See. For one to take care of their family...
...three Cs are much required.
Consideration, co-ordination and communication.
Wow. All three words start with a "C".
That's what he just said, Rish. The three Cs.
Yes. Sorry, I was a bit lost.
Please continue.
Even "continue" starts with a "C".
Just saying.
I meant to say that...
...if you two really consider each other's views...
...then with the right coordination and communication...
...your additional and useless expenses can be reduced.
Of course. And I try my best.
For instance?
For instance, I think there's no need of buying new books for school.
I buy used books.
Because that saves trees as well as money.
- Isn't it, Rish? - Of course. Of course...
True.
Jia... Look.
- My new old science textbook. - Nice, Yoyo.
Let me guess.
The one whose book it was...
...must still have their answers in the book. Correct?
- Yes. All of them. - Awesome.
Wow, look.
Chicken salami.
Eww, Yoyo. You're gross. Yuck.
Yummy...
Now, what are you looking for?
Who knows I might find a cheese slice too?
Now obviously, if Yoyo is involved...
...then there will be side effects.
I agree with you.
No matter what...
...kids should know the value of money.
Oh, absolutely. Especially our kids...
...who take money from us to buy things...
...but they don't give us back the change. Never.
Of course. I think that Yoyo will become a delivery boy when he grows up.
They also never give me my change back.
There has to be a solution for this problem.
Of course, there is. Right, Rish?
What?
[Rishabh] Yohan. Come here.
Son, you wanted a new geometry box, right?
How much does it cost?
The new one costs 95 rupees and the used one costs 36 rupees.
So, tell me clearly that you want 36 rupees.
Here you go. Done.
Jia, you want new socks for gym class, right?
- Yes. - How much is it?
One pair costs 120. But they have an offer.
Buy three, get one free. So, ahmmm...
That would be... Three times 120, I guess.
Wow. Don't waste your time, Jia.
When they have a buy one, get three free offer, use your intelligence then.
Okay? 120.
Dia, you wanted some money for donation, right?
There is no fixed amount.
You can give as much as you wish.
Just one rupee?
- Double it. - Okay.
Here.
You taught your kids a lesson.
But how do you control your own useless expenses?
We owe that to Shefali's genius.
Okay.
Dude, this time I'm thinking of buying a land in Alibaug.
I'll build a house there.
No... Relax, Surya. Relax.
[Rishabh] The rates have skyrocketed there.
You have got to save your money. Don't be reckless.
But it's not that steep yet.
We need a holiday home, right?
Yes, dude. And what is the use of saving so much money?
I'll get the home loan approved from my own bank.
Everything will be set.
I'll build a house with a swimming pool...
...for my wife.
Yes, man. A swimming pool would be so nice.
- Where is Shefali? - Hi, guys.
Wow. We were just talking about you.
Rish, your car is packed up.
Surya, we will have to go in your car.
In my car?
Hey... But my car has just come back from servicing.
What happened?
You know that the engine has a red wire and a blue wire, right?
Well, the red wire is not connected properly to the carburettor.
The first symptom of which is overheating.
That's leading to the toxic smoke coming out of the rear exhaust.
[Shefali] And there's an oil leak...
...in the AC vent that's resulting in the emission of carbon dioxide.
So, one minute, we'll be singing a song.
And in the next minute, we'll all be dead.
- Huh? - Get it?
Totally, I guess.
So, Surya. We'll have to go in your car.
In my car? To Alibaug?
Hey, it's only a 103 kilometres via National Highway 66.
We'll reach in three-four hours.
Yes, but where does the engine have a red and a blue wire?
- Yes. - I have never seen one.
- Are you calling me a liar? - No... Not at all.
Look. What is the problem, man?
I'll drive half the way, you drive the other half.
Plus, Vaishali wants to see the farmhouse. Right, Vaishali?
Yes. I guess I want to see it.
So, come on.
Let's meet in the parking lot in 10 minutes.
- Grab the basket. - Okay.
-[Rishabh] Okay. - Yup.
- 10 minutes, huh? - Yeah.
- Thank me, Rish. - Thank you but why?
Do you realise how much money you saved today because of me?
If we take our car, we also end up paying for the petrol.
Do you know how much it is per litre?
Ah... I don't know the exact price.
- But I know it's a lot. - Exactly.
And it's 103 kilometres each way.
So, how many more kilometres have I saved you for your car?
I don't know the exact number. But I know it's a lot.
Yes, but I also saved the car from so much wear and tear.
- It will be so helpful during its resale. - Oh.
And Surya is such a messy eater.
Which means that we are even going to save money on getting the car cleaned.
And this is how you avoid unnecessary expenses.
Hey, do you have any other plan...
...so that Surya gets to pay for the hotel rooms?
Let me think.
Shefali, really.
You're the most innovative member of your family.
Thank you. Thank you.
But I do think it's unfair that Surya and Vaishali...
...never offer to take turns with these kinds of things.
- Really. - Hmm.
But Shef is so innovative...
...that sometimes she creates a whole new person. Remember?
Excuse me.
Hey, Yoyo. Yoyo.
This is that aunty who used to stay...
...I think on the seventh floor of our old building.
Mrs. Dosa?
Mrs. Disa, not Mrs. Dosa.
Come, let's go say hi.
No, Mom. Let's go home.
What do you mean let's go home?
Is this what I've taught you?
To run away from awkward situations?
Come on. Let's face it.
Hello. How are you?
Do you recognise him? Yohan.
He used to break all the glass windows of your house.
Yohan, do you remember...
...that once you peed in her letter box?
Yohan, do you remember...
...once you threw a banana peel under her feet?
She slipped and reached the hospital directly...
[Shefali] ...with the spine problem.
Just so he could steal your goldfish.
Hasn't he grown up?
Yohan, why don't you sit on her lap?
I'll take a photo. Come...
Smile, Mrs. Disa.
Oh. Excuse me, ma'am.
She isn't Mrs. Disa.
What do you mean she isn't Mrs. Disa?
This is Srilata ma'am.
And she didn't slip on a banana peel, she slipped on a bottle of alcohol.
[Woman 1] If you still want to take a photo, please go ahead.
Are your laces tight, Yohan?
Well okay.
Tell me one thing.
What did you learn from today's session?
I feel that time passes pretty quickly during these sessions.
We don't realise how we end up spending 5000 rupees.
Ah, actually, I'm taking away a very important learning from this session.
And what is that?
Thinking about money nonstop and talking about it is of no use.
It's just plain depressing.
Life is short. We should keep it simple.
[Anchor] Earlier this evening, 11 people lost their lives in a bus accident.
The bus was transporting workers.
Oh, no. How sad.
Poor people must have left early in the morning for work.
They had no idea that they would never return.
What's the point of earning money, Rish?
When I hear such news, I lose all my faith in work.
You know what, Rish?
I think we should go to Goa...
...and be at the beach for six months.
Just live life.
Really, man. Why do we save money in the bank?
[Anchor] The RBI has decided that the interest rates are to be increased.
This will make home loans more expensive.
Okay, Shef. I think we should go next year.
Okay? We need to save money...
...unless you want to sell this house.
Do you want to sell the house?
No. I love this house.
- We need to save money. - Okay.
[Anchor] The third richest man in the world has died of a heart attack...
...while reviewing his bank statement.
Oh, man. What's happening?
Listen. Pack your bags...
There's no guarantee in life.
I mean this old man died while reviewing his bank statement.
What chance do people like us even have?
I completely agree, Rish.
We should live our lives in the moment.
What is the point of savings?
- You're right. Call the kids... - Shall I?
[Anchor] Recent reports suggests that the average Indian...
...is not saving enough money for their old age.
Which is why they die poor on footpaths.
Okay, one minute. One minute, Shef.
- Let's hold. Okay? - Hold...
- I mean, this is getting scary. - Yeah.
I don't want to be on footpaths. I don't like footpaths.
- I think we should save some money for our old age. - Yeah.
- I think we should invest in FDs. - Yes.
I'll do one thing. I'll go to the bank in the morning...
...and I think we should start investing in stocks.
- Blue chip only. - Yeah.
[Anchor] Cancer rates have never been higher.
That's it.
- Yohan. - Jia. Dia.
- Zoru. - Jia, Dia, Yohan.
Come soon. We are going to Goa.
What about my swim suit?
We'll buy clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste, undergarments...
...everything over there. Let's go...
- But, Zoru. - Yes... - Zoru will also come.
- What about my project? - There's no point in finishing your project.
- Let's go. - We're all going to die. Let's go.
Don't cry. Let's go.
