Good morning, miss.
I've said a dozen times,
always wish me in English when in English class.
Come on, everyone sit down.
Does everyone remember their introduction today?
Roll no. 11.
Stand up.
Introduce yourself.
Good morning miss
My... This is my introduction.
I am a 13-year boy.
- My name iss... - is...
- Iss! - My name is...
My name is... My...
My name is Surbhi.
- Silence. - Madam, the fan is squeaking.
Krishna ji, do something about it.
Someday this fan will fall on our heads.
It won't, madam. It's pretty tough.
But the roof is weak.
That could fall any day.
Grandpa.
Here you go. Thank you.
Where are you coming from?
Not too far.
And you?
I always go out on a stroll.
This tree...
This tree that you see...
From here...
...to those two mango trees that you see.
All that is your share.
Except for 2 acres,
the remaining fields belong to Aatish.
How does it matter who owns how much share?
I can only see fields as far as I can see.
You're just like your father.
Tell me something, Grandpa.
Such a beautiful village, beautiful people, big family.
Why did father suddenly leave all this behind?
I'm preparing a special dinner for you tonight.
I'll make it myself.
Hello. Hello.
Turn up the volume.
I'll punch you in the nose. Get lost.
Hello...
Special announcement for brother Aatish and his lackeys.
Salman Khan's best friend,
brother Nirmal...
...is heading toward home.
Where did you go with your phone turned off?
Aatish won't stop wailing.
Aatish is crying. Why?
Shankar, hit the like button.
- I already did. - Then hit like again.
If I hit like again, it will become unlike.
Brother is back.
What happened, Aatish? Why are you crying?
What else did you expect?
He's such a big fan of Salman Khan.
Show him, brother. Show him.
Show him that tattoo.
See...
"Won't you welcome me?"
Leave me.
Brother.
Brother. You hurt me.
Bhaijaan is a friend of yours.
And you never told me. Bhaijaan...
I don't know him personally.
I've a friend Vikram Bajpayee.
He's got contacts with him.
So he got him for mom's book launch.
Vikram Bajpayee.
- You mean the Vikram Bajpayee. - What do you mean?
Deputy CM Manish Bajpayee's son.
- Yes. - I was just reading about him.
- Imagine. - What?
We studied together in London, so...
He knows Salman. It was just a favour.
What is it this time?
Brother Aatish is running as a candidate...
...in the elections from Bajpayee's political party.
Aatish, you never told me you're running for the candidate.
You came home after 24 years.
What did you expect me to tell you?
Brother, is Vikram Bajpayee a friend of yours?
Find his picture too. We'll put a like too.
Brother, first teach him how to like and unlike pictures.
I know how to.... You got a tattoo.
Who does that?
Aatish is running for candidate.
He's getting married to some big minister's daughter.
In this scenario.
The atmosphere is pretty different.
At least I am relieved that you found the urn.
You do as you feel right, son.
I'll see.
What did you buy, son?
These are some clothes.
- Let me keep them properly. - No, no, I'll keep them.
Mother, I am hungry.
Everyone's waiting for you.
Go upstairs. Nibha has served breakfast.
I'm bringing the chillies.
Did you have breakfast?
No, brother, I'll eat after everyone has eaten.
No one's going to eat before brother does.
Keep it down.
Come, brother. We've been waiting for you.
Come, sit.
Nibha, get some pickles.
Why aren't you eating?
I've already eaten, brother.
I see.
Brother.
- Thank you. - Where are the chillies?
I got a little confused, brother.
- I'll get it right away. - Getting things one by one.
- Where is the water? - Wait, I'll get it.
- Keep seated, brother. - Where are you going?
Brother, why will you go?
Nibha is here. Nibha, hurry up.
Wait, Nibha.
Since I got here I've been noticing,
that everyone's barking orders to Nibha.
Did anyone ask whether she had breakfast or not?
Did you have breakfast?
Listen, you listen to me, don't you?
Yes, brother.
Then make a rule.
Every man in this house will get his own glass of water.
Is that clear?
Yes, brother.
Your words are the rule. I'll get my own glass of water.
Go get it.
I didn't ask for water.
Shankar asked for water first.
- You asked for water, didn't you? - Go on.
I just remembered.
One shouldn't drink water during meals.
"Loha Baba" has said
Look...two drops of life.
Can't you see the pot's empty?
You're not a fish to die without water.
- I don't want to drink water. - What?
You know what, you drink first.
You really drank first.
You seriously drank it
Brother Nirmal made a rule.
Everyone will get their own water.
You guys make such a fuss.
It's a good thing brother didn't tell me to make tea.
Screaming for a cup of tea all day...
This is Lablabiya's cup.
Brother.
Why didn't you tell brother Nirmal that you're running for elections?
I thought I'll drop the bomb.
Brother, I'll show you my constituency today.
Yeah, we'll show real Buxar to him today.
- That's right. - Yes.
Brother, Father-in-law has been elected MLA four times from Buxar.
This time he's running for Parliament.
So he's coronating me on his seat.
He said, son, it's your turn to rule now.
And I replied as you wish father-in-law.
Brother has quite a reputation here.
Of course, he does.
Next time you come here,
you'll see brother Aatish at every crossroad.
That reminds me.
Buxar's most famous sweetshop is at the next crossroad.
Saiyyanji Mithaiwala.
- If you haven't tasted them. - You haven't tasted anything at all!
Anybody at the shop.
Son...
First, get some sweetmeats for everyone.
With extra cream.
Extra cream.
And two fritters each with a bowl of chickpea curry.
I know the fritters will be spicy.
And after the spicy stuff, we'll need...
Jalebi.
And Malpua is a must for brother.
And until you incorporate the orders, son.
Get some balushai for each one of us.
Who is going to eat all this stuff? Listen, son.
Go...Go...Go
Listen, brother.
When Bhramin eats, They eat with full heart.
Tell me, am I saying anything wrong
Don't worry, we will eat everything.
And don't fret about the money at all.
Forgive me, brother Aatish,
I'm praising you on your face.
But people all over Buxar don't give anything to brother Aatish...
They offer it to him.
- What do they do? - Offer.
Uncle said you guys won't get anything!
Leave now!
I'll punch your teeth out. Get lost.
Uncle!
Stay seated. Sit. Sit.
Sit, son. Let me see.
Why won't he serve us?
What is this?
What is it?
Tell me what this is?
Why should I tell you?
You tell me, what it is?
Is this any way to treat your customer?
Are you a customer?
What am I?
Am I not a customer?
He's your future father.
He's running for elections.
Don't be a wise guy uncle, or else I'll break your head.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
What happened?
- Nothing happened. Sit down, brother. - What happened?
What do you expect, mister?
Every time they come here and eat half the stuff in my shop.
And never paid a penny.
Do you know who are you talking to?
Do you?
- Should we show you our true colours - Hold on. Hold on.
What's the bill?
What bill? Sit down, brother.
- How much does he owe you? - 13,490 rupees.
- Thirteen thousand. - Exactly.
Hasn't paid a penny in over two years.
I'll pay you today.
I'll pay you in full. Do you have an account?
- Yes, I do. - Show me.
- I will. - Show me.
- I've kept a record of everything. - He's lying. He's a liar.
- I'll show you. - Yeah, show me.
- See...he's searching for it. - He doesn't have any records.
What is this?
- Take a look. - What is it? What...
16th June 2020...six fritters.
Six fritters? I had only two fritters that day.
- Didn't I have only two fritters? - In fact, you had only one.
See...he's added five extra.
6th July 2021.
Sweetmeat.
I never had sweetmeat on that day. I was having dysentery...
- Exactly. I took you to the doctor. - Liar. Fraud.
You won't get a penny.
"13,490 rupees received on CTM."
Let's go.
It's okay, come on.
- I'll punch your nose. - It's okay, come.
Brother, how about some water pancake?
Shut up!
I don't eat this ladies' stuff.
Offering me a water pancake
Shankar, where is brother?
Getting a trim.
Trimming.
That shop owner ruined everything today.
He had to settle the accounts today.
I wonder what my brother would be thinking about me.
What? I am asking you what he must be thinking.
What will he be thinking?
- That's what I asked. - Asked what.
Not me, he asked.
No. He's telling you...
I'll whack you in the face. You're confusing me.
I am asking you what brother might be thinking about me!
You don't butt your nose. I'll punch you.
What will he be thinking?
He must be thinking that you're full of air.
Who asks the future leader for the bill?
Lablabiya come here.
Do one thing.
Let's teach the shop owner a good lesson tonight.
You've my blessings. Okay.
And listen, don't let brother find out.
- Where is he getting a trim? - Over there.
Okay.
Did you see the photos? The boy's in the air force.
Very soft-spoken.
Again you've spoken with him.
How many times have I told you, mom,
I don't want to get married so soon.
It is not soon.
Coming March you'll turn 34.
In six years you'll turn 40.
- You'll be 60 when your child is only 20. - Mom...the phone is on the loudspeaker.
Can I call you back? I'll call you back.
Bye! Bye.
It was mom.
Is she trying to find you a groom again?
See, I told you, Reena.
This problem is not in the village alone.
All over India, parents believe in marriage at first sight.
You're Reena Dubey, aren't you?
She's the minister's daughter.
Belongs to a higher caste.
That's why she secretly works here.
Do you know her?
- Allow me. - Leave it, son. I'll do it.
I'll do it too.
How much work you do?
You were working when I left, and you're still working.
Which school do you go to?
I go to DAC public school.
We're having our vacations now.
- Winter break. - Yes.
Why not the local village school?
Who studies there?
Son.
Yes
Won't he come?
Who? Papa?
No, he's busy.
Will you stay for a month or two?
No, I've...got some work so,
I'll leave the day after the wedding.
Nibha, you tell him please.
Why should I? You tell him.
Don't you have the courage?
She keeps telling me that she wants to talk to uncle.
Hear his voice. Can you call him up, brother?
Yes, I will.
No excuses, call him now.
- Come on, call him now. - Yes yes
- Okay, fine. - Call him now.
- Yes yes - Call him.
What are you waiting for? Call him.
Call him.
He's calling him.
Hello, Nimo.
Why are you calling on his number?
Papa isn't picking up the phone.
Maybe he is busy.
I'll call tomorrow.
- Will you call again tomorrow? - Yes.
Hello, Mithaiwala, how do you do?
What happened?
Nothing happened.
You see, Lablabiya's bullets are expiring tonight.
I said why to waste the bullets.
Let's utilise them.
So he's confused now,
where to shoot.
Shall I fire in this direction, brother?
It's just a wall. No one will get hurt.
What are you doing? The kitchen is on that side.
The cylinder's over there. You'll blow up the entire shop.
Is your shop some kind of bird, that will fly away?
- Lablabiya, shoot. - Shoot now.
Sorry, brother. I made a mistake. It was my fault.
I'll return the money.
You humiliated me in front of my brother.
And you want me to forgive you. Why?
I'll give you sweetmeats.
- Sweets. Fritters. - Don't want it.
- Sorry, sorry, sorry... - Lablabiya, shoot.
Sorry, sorry, sorry. Forgive me.
Lablabiya...
Happy Diwali.
"Shyam came in my dreams tonight."
"The Lord made my heart skip a beat."
"My heart cannot prancing."
Nibha.
- Brother. - Yes.
I filled my own glass.
Take it.
Proud of you.
See...this is Lithi (bread).
This is choka (vegetable curry). And you...
Mix it with the curry like this and eat like this.
You know.
It's my favourite dish.
Papa cooks it every Saturday.
Brother still likes to eat them.
Lithi.
Does he still crush chilly and salt together and eat them?
You know, dear.
Earlier whenever I made Lithi,
brother used to say,
Genda, serve me hot.
Now he doesn't even call.
What was our fault?
Doesn't he miss us?
Aunt, don't cry.
Brother Nirmal promised he'll call uncle tomorrow at 9 o'clock.
Will you call Mohan tomorrow?
Brother, if I can get uncle's blessings,
it will make my day.
I will talk to him first.
No, first me.
I said I'll talk to him first.
He's my brother. I will talk to him first.
Aunt Santoshi will talk to him first.
She is not going to sleep tonight. Am I right, aunty?
Nibha, how did the leg of this chair break?
How can you be so careless?
We're going to talk to uncle tomorrow?
Hello, uncle.
- We haven't met since morning. - Yes.
How can we meet? I am always busy.
Nibha, dinner.
Where's my water?
Brother Nirmal made a rule.
All the men in this house will get their own water.
Water.
Take some Litti off my plate.
I won't eat this much.
Yeah, mom. I'm going to immerse the ashes.
I will call you back Yeah, bye.
Where are you going?
I got to recharge my mobile's data. So...
It's 9 o'clock.
Yes, I'll just take a quick trip to the shop.
Listen.
Does he not want to talk to me?
Lookout. Lookout. Lookout.
Whose ashes are these?
It's papa.
