The whole lot of almonds was defective.
Ma'am, you have a habit of nitpicking.
Well, one needs brains to nitpick.
Everyone tries to rip one off…
Mom, why do you go out every day?
I have told you many times that I can order groceries online for you.
-Oh! -See?
Shush, baby…
The granddaughter starts crying when you scold her grandma.
Your granddaughter didn't let me sleep all night.
My eyes are desperate to see my granddaughter.
But you won't even let me visit you.
Mom, let this pandemic die down,
I will myself come with the baby to visit you.
Ritu, my child,
you have just delivered a baby
take extra care of your nutrition in this phase.
What happened?
The mixer is slightly malfunctioning.
I'm trying to fix it.
Sometimes mixer, sometimes a bulb, you are always at it.
Why don't you ask Uncle Saini for help?
Why would I ask Uncle Saini for help?
His eyes are always fixated on our house like an owl.
Why are you being suspicious about Uncle Saini?
If Dad were alive, you know what he would have said?
"Sushila my dear,
to get your job done, you must meet the Owl's eyes too."
Shut up.
Listen…
Let me tell you a first-class recipe, for your health.
Another recipe?
Mom, I am sleepy, we'll talk later. Bye.
Hey, listen!
One…
two.
Four.
Five.
Hey!
Mrs. Sushila?
Remember, you had asked for Gooseberry marmalade?
Here it is.
And these sweets are to celebrate Ritu's baby.
Wow!
One is lucky to have a neighbor like you.
Mr. Saini always says the same too.
Is Mr. Saini home?
You know that trusted courier shop?
Well, I needed his help to book a courier.
Mr. Saini left for a tour this morning.
I was hoping to send homemade Gond Laddus to Ritu.
Well, these days everything is possible on smartphones.
Online.
No, no.
There are lots of scams in the online world.
Somebody whisked away money from Mr. Daulat Mal's bank
and he didn't even get a whiff.
Online!
The fact is, Mrs. Tripathi, smartphones are for smart people!
Not dummy types like us.
Pintu can get your courier booked.
Hey, Pintu, do you hear me?
You need a bank's card for online booking.
I don't have one.
But you must be having one right?
Yes.
I do.
Great!
Give your bank's card to Pintu.
The moment he has time he will book your courier.
Dummy type?
How to…
book…
a courier online?
Click.
Hello?
Are you looking for a special friend?
No, no!
Loneliness is a disease
Do you have a secret sexual problem?
-Hello! -Hello?
A man and a woman are tied in material lust.
Hello, madam! Do you want friendship?
I am not a dummy.
My darling daughter Ritu.
OTP?
Over a Treacherous Peak?
Your offline mom has learned to book an online courier.
On her own!
With small difficulties…
and big adventures,
I finally crossed this milestone.
Isn't it wonderful?
That I can look after your health
from so far away too.
You miss your mother's cooking, don't you?
Now, I will make
Fenugreek Cookies,
Wild Lemon Pickle,
Almond Powder…
I will make everything and send it to you.
It was my heartfelt wish
to make Gond Laddus for you with my own hands
See how my wish came true?
What does the company policy say?
Our courier gets delivered in 48 hours.
Or the customer gets a full refund.
Is that right?
But because of your poor performance,
the company is suffering.
So then?
A penalty must be deducted from your salaries, right?
How else will I manage my chocolate?
Please, sir…
we will treat you to chocolate anyway.
But a penalty from our salary?
Shut your nonsense.
And why doesn't your courier
ever get delivered on time?
And you…
What's your story?
Story, sir?
Speak up.
Sir, customers often write incomplete addresses on the parcel
so we lose time looking for the correct address.
It delays the delivery and sir…
we also end up spending extra on fuel.
So?
Sir, can the company have a policy for this too?
You want to fight with the company?
Want to become an activist?
Go.
Go sit on a hunger strike.
Go!
If you could ride your bike as fast as you move your tongue
things would be better for you.
By the way,
It was you who took a home loan application to the GM, isn't it?
Rohan Sahota…
Either you will get a 5-Star rating today,
or you will be fired.
Sir… I…
5-Star…
or fired.
You know that Verma is mentally damaged.
But what happened to you?
Why did you have to talk back?
Look how…
he has dumped so much load on you.
How on earth will you manage so many deliveries today?
It was my heartfelt wish
to make Gond laddus for you with my own hands
See how my wish came true?
Stop staring at the letter now,
try the laddu and quickly call your mother.
Hello?
Good afternoon, sir.
Hello, sir?
Hello, Mrs. Iyer.
This is Gita from Foodonwheels.com
Don't waste my time!
Hello, sir, this is Gita from Foodonwheels.com
Can you hear me?
Yes, I can hear you, Miss Gita.
But I'd love to see you as well!
Yes, ma'am!
You can order pastries, lentils, vegetables everything on our app!
How amazing is that!
Well, I think you're a real foodie, ma'am.
You're absolutely right.
That's why we are giving you free recipes
and you too can share your recipes with others.
Where can I find your app?
You can download it from the App Store.
I will be on hold.
Hello?
Forget the dream of our own house now.
What?
One minute, just a minute.
Ma'am, you have to re-type the password.
Rohan! What happened?
Accident, what else?
Accident?
One minute. One-- One minute.
Congratulations, ma'am, your accident--
I mean, your account has been activated.
Thank you.
Rohan, are you okay?
A privileged man with a big car on the road
thought to remove a small fry like me.
So, he did.
Where are you?
I hope you aren't hurt…
No.
But one parcel got damaged.
Parcel?
Was is it something expensive?
Laddu.
Laddu?
I have rotten luck.
The day was going fine.
I was even getting a 3-Star average.
These Laddus will be the end of it.
What will I tell Verma now?
He gave me an ultimatum this morning.
What will happen to our home loan if I get sacked?
Tell him the Laddus got stolen…
How did they get stolen, Gitu?
Did I leave the parcel unattended to watch a movie?
What kind of Laddus were they?
Gond Laddus…
Found them.
Everything is available on Foodonwheels.com
What are you talking about, Gitu?
We can't just buy Laddus from the market?
Why not?
These--
These were homemade Laddus, Gitu…
Oh…
Laddus sold in the market and
the ones made at home can never taste the same.
The same happened with Chilly Paneer the other day.
Now where did Chilly Paneer come from?
Well, it did
and you should come home quickly too.
Why is every problem an adventure?
Ma'am, can I do half-day today, please?
I have a stomachache…
Rohu…
Oh, no…
What's all this?
Gita?
We will make Gond Laddus at home.
You spent all the money?
From savings…
This is not the way to solve a problem.
I will have to confess to Verma.
And you think he will understand?
Bollocks, he will understand!
We are just like a wheel…
Our whole lives we will keep moving round and round in circles…
and it won't matter to anyone.
So, what do we do?
Hit the brakes?
Or puncture the wheel, so it doesn't move at all?
You don't understand…
but Rohu understands everything.
We are like wheels…
we have come from far
but won't go much further.
You just keep blaming destiny, Rohu…
Stop calling me "Rohu".
I am a man, not a fish.
A fish is what you are that stinks from the head.
Enough. We can't sulk anymore.
Come open the ghee bottle.
This is not right.
And if the customer finds out
that the Laddus she made were crushed under a wheel,
will that be right?
You think you know the customer's recipe?
You think you can make the exact same Laddus?
What's the big deal?
From Delhi to Kerala, we have enough aunts who can tell us
how to make Gond Laddus at home.
Stop behaving like a child, Gitu.
These Laddus were made with a mother's love
something you will never understand.
I don't have a mother, how will I understand?
You felt hurt, Gitu?
You know my anger is very bitter.
But your anger has so many flavors.
English, Hindi, Malyalam…
Which flavor is it right now?
I just wanted to make Laddus…
not break someone's heart.
So, tell me.
How do we start?
Should I melt the ghee first…
or the heart?
Go away.
Only four are left.
We will have to match this taste, Gitu.
Yes, Gond Laddus…
What? Rohan had a baby?
Malyalis don't make Gond Laddus.
No, my friend just had a baby.
Country Ghee, dates, almonds, pistachios…
No Country Ghee?
Peanut oil instead?
No dates either?
I can't figure what was the special ingredient in the customer's Laddu?
This is not happening.
I have one more delivery to go.
I'll go complete it.
Hello?
Congratulations!
You have won a million-dollar lottery!
And you'll win…
my thumb!
Hello?
Hello, Mrs. Sushila Tripathi?
Yes, speaking?
Ma'am, this is Gita from Foodonwheels.com
Ma'am from our food app you can order
lentils, vegetables, pastries everything.
No, dear child…
I don't buy anything without inspecting it first.
I'll hang up now.
But, ma'am, you can also share your recipes with others,
which people of our generation hardly know.
But the new generation
isn't interested in the old recipes, my dear child.
Anyway, everything can be found on the internet these days.
Is that a child?
Yes, ma'am, it's my baby.
I'm working from home, hence…
So, ma'am, I was saying…
every mother has a special recipe, right?
Just the other day, I was making Gond Laddus for myself,
I put almonds, pistachios, everything!
But I am sure there must be a special twist in your recipe.
What twist?
Anyway, I have to hang up now. I have things to do…
Okay, ma'am…
but I want to thank you.
Thank me? For what?
You called me your dear child…
actually I don't have a mom. So…
it felt nice.
There is no one to look after you?
Let it be, ma'am.
That's how it is.
Okay, ma'am, thank you. Have a nice day.
Wait, my child…
Yes, ma'am?
Next time when you make Gond Laddus,
do put some Nutmeg in it.
This is the special thing in my recipe.
Thank you, ma'am, you are so nice!
Now I will make laddus just like you
and your courier will also reach on time!
Courier?
Hello?
You have reached a number that is currently busy or no longer exists.
Rohu, I have made the perfect Laddus.
Really? How?
Don't ask too many questions, come fast.
My parcel hasn't reached Delhi at all!
What is this?
Your promise was delivery in 48 hours?
What is your order number, ma'am?
Ma'am, your order is out for delivery.
Ride safely…
Sir!
We are getting repeated complaints for order number 64.
Rohan Sahota should have reached by now.
Call him…
Wait, wait! Listen to me first!
I am not being given the full information.
Where has my parcel gone?
Who have you delivered it to?
Hello?
Where are you roaming around with order number 64?
Customer complaint has already come in.
48 hours are long over, Mister.
Instead of being a five-star, you have become a zero-star.
Sir, actually, I met with an accident.
And the parcel got damaged, Sir.
Got damaged? What?
Call the legal department, find out the damage compensation!
Right now!
-Hello? -Rohan Sahota!
-Sir… -You are--
Yes?
Courier?
Amit!
Look at this!
Mom has sent a courier.
Online! By herself!
So cute…
What a surprise!
Oh! Sorry, you are still here. Thank you so much, man.
Ma'am…
I have something to say.
Did you deliver the parcel?
Rohu…
I lied and got the recipe from Mrs. Tripathi, but…
I made a big blunder.
I have told the truth…
to Verma as well as the customer.
Now?
Now…
our home is a dream.
We opened our eyes and it disappeared.
Hello?
Rohan Sahota?
This is Mrs. Sushila Tripathi speaking.
Yes, ma'am?
I got your number with great difficulty.
Gita is your wife, right?
Yes, ma'am.
Ma'am…
Mrs. Tripathi… I want to apologize…
Yes, apologize you must.
Because you haven't made a small mistake.
You have put a little too much nutmeg in the Gond Laddus.
And now my daughter Ritu says…
"Mummy, this time the taste is way better."
What can I say?
Ask Rohan…
to send a box of laddus to me as well.
I also want to taste and see…
how both of your hard work and love…
have added a twist to a mother's touch.
Yes, ma'am…
