00:22.273 --> 00:23.218
Daanu, my dear…

00:24.186 --> 00:25.506
Daanu, should I do your braids?

00:26.194 --> 00:27.494
Should I do your braids?

00:28.442 --> 00:30.783
Daanu, should I braid your hair?

00:32.146 --> 00:33.526
Daanu, should I braid your hair?

00:36.570 --> 00:38.046
Should I braid your hair?

00:40.073 --> 00:41.465
Should I braid your hair?

00:41.796 --> 00:43.233
Should I make some cute braids?

00:43.573 --> 00:45.530
Daanu, come here,
I'll braid your hair nicely…

00:51.705 --> 00:52.222
Okay?

00:54.432 --> 00:54.963
Look,

00:56.485 --> 00:58.070
I packed this from home, especially
for you.

01:00.634 --> 01:02.164
Care for some parathas?
- No.

01:04.193 --> 01:05.537
How much longer before we reach?

01:05.538 --> 01:06.512
It'll take another two hours.

01:06.513 --> 01:07.794
Do you want some
chips? I got some chips.

01:08.200 --> 01:08.802
No.

01:10.890 --> 01:11.709
Just trust me, I know...

01:12.433 --> 01:14.687
We'll make the best photo
essay for you at grandma's house.

01:19.795 --> 01:22.301
So, Daanu, I was just thinking…

01:23.914 --> 01:24.676
We shouldn’t rummage
through grandpa's old…

01:25.858 --> 01:28.166
Belongings, when we are
over at grandma’s, okay?

01:29.520 --> 01:31.784
Mom I have to make a photo
essay on YOUR side of the family…

01:32.517 --> 01:33.803
And grandpa is a
part of that, right?

01:34.922 --> 01:36.322
Of course, of course.

01:37.099 --> 01:37.907
Just that…

01:39.256 --> 01:40.920
We’ll try not to mention grandpa…

01:42.033 --> 01:43.623
A lot…in front of grandma…

01:45.219 --> 01:47.499
We’ll try not to seek
out his photos, hmm?

02:06.648 --> 02:08.367
'Perfect Family'

02:18.355 --> 02:20.459
I'm not a bad mother,
Megha, trust me.

02:22.018 --> 02:23.443
I didn't mean to hit Daani.

02:24.507 --> 02:26.009
It all just happened
so fast that day.

02:28.376 --> 02:29.187
She is wrong here!

02:29.188 --> 02:30.907
Even though we're
the “older generation”,

02:31.114 --> 02:33.154
But, we also know that one shouldn't
hit children.

02:33.818 --> 02:35.607
And this isn’t the first
time that she has hit Daani.

02:37.714 --> 02:39.592
Kamla, let’s just please calm down.

02:40.354 --> 02:41.864
See, all of them try to corner me.

02:42.754 --> 02:44.958
Every time there's an argument,
they all gang up on me.

02:45.185 --> 02:46.603
Yes, that’s because you don’t
have control over your tongue!

02:49.698 --> 02:53.174
Neeti, hitting your child is
definitely not okay.

02:54.658 --> 02:56.616
But if we want to move
forward in therapy…

02:57.458 --> 02:59.108
You’ve got to
forgive yourself first.

03:00.602 --> 03:03.281
Megha, my dear, we really want to
build a happier family…

03:04.250 --> 03:05.773
But she spares no efforts.

03:09.633 --> 03:10.763
Mom doesn't like Neeti much,

03:10.764 --> 03:12.756
because Neeti doesn't behave
the way mom wants her to.

03:14.458 --> 03:16.342
Is that how you think
of your own mother?

03:17.473 --> 03:19.111
She likes to keep control.

03:19.618 --> 03:22.236
What are you going on about?
Have I bound you in shackles?

03:27.669 --> 03:29.991
'Potatoes that are
boiled and mashed.'

03:31.210 --> 03:32.097
Hey, listen…

03:32.098 --> 03:33.929
Those undergarments
of yours in the bathroom…

03:33.930 --> 03:35.801
Why haven’t you
laundered them yet, huh?

03:37.308 --> 03:39.060
They’ll go damp and start to smell.

03:39.698 --> 03:40.591
Don't make such faces.

03:40.970 --> 03:42.371
Mom, what's your problem?

03:42.458 --> 03:43.833
'Finely chopped.'

03:43.938 --> 03:45.380
Your hair is so dry and frizzy…

03:46.314 --> 03:47.662
Should I apply some coconut oil?
- No.

03:57.521 --> 03:59.257
Mom, can you share the
that aloo tikki recipe with me,

03:59.258 --> 04:01.578
I want to try it at the
shop, for the snack counter.

04:01.802 --> 04:03.734
I'll tell you once your
father comes back later.

04:06.111 --> 04:07.845
Look at Vishnu, he isn't
answering any of my calls.

04:08.065 --> 04:10.556
Vishnu and your father seem
to be lost in some kind of bliss…

04:14.914 --> 04:16.465
God knows what channel
you keep watching?

04:16.466 --> 04:18.626
“…The film has been running for more
than five continuous years…”

04:19.058 --> 04:21.059
“DDLJ's Raj and
Simran brought such a

04:21.060 --> 04:22.981
romantic saga to
the big screen that…”

04:23.338 --> 04:25.134
“Even after 25 years, it still
lives fresh in people’s hearts.”

04:25.225 --> 04:27.736
I watched this film for the
first time when you were little.

04:28.555 --> 04:29.840
You know, the actor
who played the father in it,

04:29.841 --> 04:30.813
the late & much
respected Amrish Puri…

04:31.094 --> 04:32.422
His character was so strict…

04:33.042 --> 04:34.555
That despite living in England,

04:34.556 --> 04:35.810
He didn't let his
children enjoy any liberty.

04:36.338 --> 04:39.592
And look at us. We live here,
and yet we grant so much freedom.

04:41.042 --> 04:42.969
Hmm. - What happened?
Why are you laughing?

04:45.722 --> 04:46.490
Pinky!

04:47.770 --> 04:49.537
Don't do all of this in front of me!

04:49.744 --> 04:51.103
But, you were saying something
about ‘giving freedom’, right?

04:53.721 --> 04:54.761
Your father is right...

04:55.458 --> 04:57.731
You do act oversmart.

05:00.442 --> 05:00.972
Pass me the remote.

05:02.234 --> 05:04.634
We've never treated her
and Vishnu any differently.

05:05.052 --> 05:07.492
Whatever we provided for
Vishnu, we got her the same.

05:08.138 --> 05:09.826
I've always thought
about what's best for her.

05:09.827 --> 05:11.387
I can think for myself too,
you know.

05:11.482 --> 05:13.179
When you become a mother,
then you'll understand.

05:13.180 --> 05:16.266
I don't want to be one. I'm scared
that I’ll turn out to be like you.

05:16.810 --> 05:17.486
Please relax.

05:19.083 --> 05:21.168
The stress that you're experiencing…

05:21.169 --> 05:23.373
It depends on many things…

05:24.329 --> 05:25.872
Especially the upbringing.

05:26.810 --> 05:31.766
Neeti's anger, the long-standing
resentment between Kamla and Pooja,

05:32.714 --> 05:35.665
and Kamla's misunderstanding
towards Neeti and Pooja…

05:36.490 --> 05:38.425
All of it comes from
a deeper place.

05:38.910 --> 05:42.151
And today, we’ll try to
stand in each other's shoes…

05:42.755 --> 05:45.292
In order to understand
one another, better.

05:45.874 --> 05:49.928
In this house, nobody understands
everybody’s needs, better than me.

05:50.538 --> 05:52.413
There's a big difference
between understanding…

05:52.553 --> 05:55.153
People's needs and
understanding their feelings.

05:56.338 --> 05:58.088
Empathy comes from
truly understanding…

05:58.089 --> 05:59.530
What someone feels on the inside.

06:00.138 --> 06:01.655
And today, we'll try…

06:01.864 --> 06:03.204
To make sure your family…

06:03.714 --> 06:05.142
Understands your perspective,

06:05.913 --> 06:07.416
And you understand theirs.

06:20.673 --> 06:23.433
‘May no evil befall upon you…’

06:24.081 --> 06:27.001
‘Om Shanti Shanti…’

06:27.416 --> 06:29.072
How many times have I told you mom,

06:29.431 --> 06:30.902
To operate the touch screen phone.

06:31.244 --> 06:32.876
You've just kept it in the
cupboard in mint condition.

06:35.442 --> 06:37.452
Nowadays, nobody checks their
talktime balance like this mom.

06:46.971 --> 06:47.361
Hmm.

06:48.098 --> 06:48.994
There’s about an
eighty-nine rupee balance,

06:49.530 --> 06:50.647
With two months
of validity still to go.

06:50.962 --> 06:53.061
So it's done right?
What are you still going on about!?

07:02.939 --> 07:04.010
You know, when we were little,

07:04.219 --> 07:05.663
Grandma wouldn't even
allow me or your aunt Preeti

07:05.882 --> 07:07.945
To go anywhere near that mango tree.

07:08.562 --> 07:11.399
We used to joke that the mango
tree is granny’s favourite child.

07:12.410 --> 07:13.745
You used to pluck the raw mangoes.

07:14.426 --> 07:15.816
Yes, because I liked raw mangoes.

07:16.672 --> 07:18.513
You’ve come here to
click photos my sweety?

07:19.242 --> 07:20.594
It’s a school project?

07:21.034 --> 07:23.296
Yes, I have to capture
the maternal side of my family…

07:23.297 --> 07:24.861
For a photo essay.

07:25.498 --> 07:26.377
Well all of that just
went over my head!

07:27.258 --> 07:29.307
For me, the fact that you came
to visit is more than enough.

07:30.531 --> 07:33.037
Otherwise, whether I live or die,

07:33.633 --> 07:35.100
Nobody asks after me.

07:36.395 --> 07:37.654
Did you have fun on
your birthday, sweety?

07:39.026 --> 07:42.546
To seek birthday blessings for you,
I even offered sweets at the temple.

07:44.122 --> 07:45.722
But grandma, why didn't you come?

07:45.858 --> 07:47.165
Your mother didn't invite me.

07:47.546 --> 07:49.154
Mom, I invite you every single year.

07:49.242 --> 07:50.310
Are you serious!?

07:50.463 --> 07:51.451
At this age, you expect an old woman

07:51.452 --> 07:52.560
to board the train and
travel all the way alone?

07:53.562 --> 07:54.822
It’s customary for
the son in law to come

07:54.823 --> 07:56.003
and accompany his
mother-in-law in person…

07:56.554 --> 07:58.237
Whenever there’s an invite to
the daughter’s in-laws’ house.

07:58.907 --> 08:00.613
He’s got a job, you know that.

08:01.890 --> 08:03.337
He doesn't have
the time even for us–

08:03.338 --> 08:04.881
What did I even say to you?

08:06.019 --> 08:06.764
Just eat your mango.

08:13.782 --> 08:15.659
Daanu, there's still
a lot of pulp left in it.

08:15.660 --> 08:16.553
Squeeze it properly,

08:16.554 --> 08:18.074
And eat it like this, see.

08:24.491 --> 08:27.017
Grandpa called to wish me
on my birthday.

08:36.338 --> 08:37.304
Very good.

08:50.554 --> 08:52.397
Have you packed my thick
wool sweater? - Yes.

08:52.689 --> 08:54.377
I have wrapped it in the newspaper.

08:54.378 --> 08:55.273
Hey brother, take this.

08:57.156 --> 08:58.897
I'll call you once
I reach Delhi airport.

08:58.898 --> 09:00.678
What will I do here without you?

09:01.121 --> 09:03.601
It feels like someone is choking me.

09:03.714 --> 09:05.659
Renu, just stop with this melodrama.

09:06.050 --> 09:08.456
I'll earn dollars over there.
Our lives will improve.

09:08.882 --> 09:10.526
What would I do with the money,

09:10.527 --> 09:11.973
If my whole world is
slipping away from me?

09:13.736 --> 09:15.509
I have the responsibility
of two daughters on my head.

09:15.871 --> 09:17.405
Stop it now.

09:26.220 --> 09:28.010
You have to swear
on Neeti and Preeti,

09:28.249 --> 09:29.805
To return to us!

09:32.849 --> 09:34.739
Else I’ll die!

09:45.057 --> 09:46.859
I’d never seen my
mother act like that before.

09:48.434 --> 09:49.861
I felt scared for her.

09:55.962 --> 09:56.688
And after that,

09:57.795 --> 10:00.313
She got caught up in all kinds
of strange, superstitious beliefs.

10:01.642 --> 10:02.297
Mother,

10:04.065 --> 10:06.377
He will return to me, right?

10:08.170 --> 10:11.330
Would a ‘fair skinned’, woman
snatch him away from me?

10:32.579 --> 10:34.296
That was all that kept playing in
my mother's mind, everyday.

10:39.122 --> 10:41.090
I had to run the house…
Take care of Preeti.

10:42.378 --> 10:44.495
Preeti, are you hungry?

10:44.932 --> 10:45.715
Yes.

10:52.097 --> 10:54.297
So eventually, I learnt to
do everything by myself.

11:24.186 --> 11:24.979
I used to think…

11:26.161 --> 11:27.784
That, if I helped around the house,

11:28.370 --> 11:29.401
Became a 'good girl'...

11:30.770 --> 11:31.607
My mother would be happy.

11:35.026 --> 11:35.662
But that didn't happen.

11:45.739 --> 11:47.777
Hey, Scotchy!

11:47.778 --> 11:50.788
Come here, my baby. Eat this, eat!

11:52.199 --> 11:53.390
Just think about it…

11:54.153 --> 11:56.008
Raj was different, wasn't he?

11:56.914 --> 11:58.439
Instead of eloping with Simran,

11:58.440 --> 12:00.641
He tried to win over her
parents’ approval instead.

12:01.115 --> 12:03.513
And now imagine how much
better Kuljeet was.

12:03.514 --> 12:05.511
Strong, well-built young man–
- Kuljeet who?

12:06.336 --> 12:07.136
Parmeet.

12:08.250 --> 12:09.274
You know Archana right?

12:09.275 --> 12:11.997
The woman who keeps laughing
on Kapil Sharma’s show? Her husband.

12:12.498 --> 12:13.673
He even owned so much farmland.

12:13.674 --> 12:14.559
That guy?
- Yes.

12:14.754 --> 12:16.473
You’d prefer him to Raj?

12:17.386 --> 12:18.546
Wow!

12:19.035 --> 12:21.267
I'm thinking about Simran's future.

12:21.434 --> 12:22.297
And what does Raj have?

12:22.298 --> 12:24.586
An easy go lucky lad, roaming
around playing his little ukulele.

12:25.138 --> 12:28.154
Had she married Kuljeet, he
would've treated her like a queen.

12:28.691 --> 12:29.731
Right, Scotchy?

12:30.859 --> 12:33.943
But Scotchy, Simran loved Raj.

12:34.475 --> 12:36.016
Love etc. happens... eventually….

12:44.666 --> 12:45.910
Prince, this is the last time…

12:46.969 --> 12:48.129
After this, you can fail,

12:49.642 --> 12:51.473
For all I care.
- Sorry.

12:53.019 --> 12:54.899
I don't know…I just
blank out at economics.

12:55.041 --> 12:56.450
But it's so interesting!

12:56.882 --> 12:59.202
Supply and demand is my favourite.

12:59.298 --> 13:02.046
Yeah, all that is fine.
First, eat this.

13:08.291 --> 13:08.957
Did you eat?

13:09.313 --> 13:11.777
People who work need more food.

13:15.538 --> 13:17.072
Did you love him?

13:21.794 --> 13:22.260
Huh!

13:22.962 --> 13:23.881
Kamlaji!

13:24.969 --> 13:27.240
Oh sorry. Kindness.

13:28.698 --> 13:29.636
Continue, Pinky.

13:30.882 --> 13:31.699
I did.

13:32.938 --> 13:33.769
Not anymore.

13:35.642 --> 13:37.511
Kamlaji, now you can speak.

13:38.881 --> 13:42.281
Look, teenagers don't fall
in any real kind of love.

13:42.914 --> 13:44.764
And the Mehras used to
be mechanics back then,

13:45.195 --> 13:47.656
And their son, Prince was
a good for nothing...

13:49.010 --> 13:50.062
Like an empty taxi
wandering on the road.

13:50.258 --> 13:51.530
I loved him.

13:53.386 --> 13:54.010
Kamlaji,

13:55.793 --> 13:57.918
Did you ever fall in
love with Mr. Somnath?

14:05.282 --> 14:08.602
Congratulations!
- Congratulations to you too!!

14:08.746 --> 14:10.802
Both our families were Punjabis.

14:11.818 --> 14:13.607
Our class and caste also matched,

14:14.459 --> 14:15.779
And even our parents were happy.

14:16.338 --> 14:18.138
Oh my, such a lovely girl…

14:24.683 --> 14:25.667
To be honest,

14:26.915 --> 14:28.945
At first, I wasn't
impressed seeing him.

14:29.715 --> 14:31.765
His face was all tanned…

14:32.171 --> 14:33.397
And he had this big moustache…

14:35.027 --> 14:36.355
Were you expecting to have superstar
Rajesh Khanna as a match?

14:37.158 --> 14:38.258
He’s hardworking...

14:38.588 --> 14:40.197
He has even built a big
shop all by himself.

14:40.707 --> 14:41.846
And before you’ll even have to ask…

14:41.847 --> 14:43.564
He'll put his earnings in your hand.

14:45.434 --> 14:47.352
He'll treat you like a queen.
A real queen.

14:47.857 --> 14:49.470
There’ll be servants
at your service.

14:51.174 --> 14:52.753
Not everyone lucks
out like you Kamla.

14:53.818 --> 14:55.569
Did you see that burly
moustache though?

14:56.306 --> 14:58.554
Then get it shaved off
after the wedding.

14:59.395 --> 15:01.195
Who doesn't follow a beautiful
bride’s orders after all?

15:02.627 --> 15:04.589
So did Mr. Somnath finally
shave off his moustache?

15:04.986 --> 15:07.088
Not really, he seldom listens to me.

15:08.338 --> 15:09.433
Then how did you fall in love?

15:09.826 --> 15:11.384
One eventually ends up
loving their husband.

15:11.979 --> 15:14.266
You take such vows, make promises…

15:15.129 --> 15:17.938
There isn't really any option.
One has to make it work.

15:21.794 --> 15:24.607
And if you ever had an option?

15:24.963 --> 15:26.563
That's immoral to even imagine.
No, not at all…

15:27.506 --> 15:30.670
We weren’t raised like that... To
leave one man and seek another.

15:32.042 --> 15:33.776
So Kamlaji, do you think…

15:34.458 --> 15:37.073
The women who choose
to do so, relish it?

15:37.187 --> 15:38.948
Maybe they do, who knows?

15:40.585 --> 15:41.804
God knows what these girls do!

16:46.690 --> 16:47.371
Daanu.

16:48.162 --> 16:48.715
Yes?

16:50.402 --> 16:51.281
Where did you find these?

16:51.818 --> 16:53.578
Here. In your diaries.

16:54.979 --> 16:57.921
Daanu, the whole house is available
for you to take pictures.

16:57.922 --> 16:59.625
Just leave grandpa's photos, okay?

16:59.626 --> 17:00.580
But why?

17:02.074 --> 17:03.283
I explained it to you
on the bus, right?

17:04.050 --> 17:06.690
Grandma won't like it.
Try to understand, please.

17:06.778 --> 17:08.294
It's just photos…

17:08.769 --> 17:13.377
And I love grandpa. He even sent me
the Gigi Hadid lip balm from the US.

17:35.100 --> 17:37.795
Let the girl do her project
the way she wants, Neeti.

17:38.073 --> 17:39.569
Why the drama?

17:41.442 --> 17:42.679
Use whatever you need my child.

17:43.506 --> 17:45.897
There are some more photographs too.
I'll give them to you.

17:49.603 --> 17:50.485
Thank you, grandma!

18:10.618 --> 18:12.578
Gosh, you're slicing up
such big chunks…

18:13.099 --> 18:14.578
Big chunks don't mix
evenly in the milk!

18:17.995 --> 18:19.215
What’s with you?
Why do you get irritated easily?

18:19.873 --> 18:20.973
Can't you just be joyful?

18:22.338 --> 18:24.058
Only if you ever let there be
any joy, maybe then I’ll be joyful.

18:25.091 --> 18:28.309
You behave like ‘Goddess
Sita‘ in front of my daughter…

18:28.818 --> 18:31.060
But, from the time you found out dad
wasn't coming back,

18:31.061 --> 18:34.367
You used to go crazy,
just hearing his name.

18:35.226 --> 18:36.468
And today you're
taking out his photos

18:36.469 --> 18:37.566
and showing them around yourself!?

18:38.370 --> 18:40.403
Because now it doesn't affect me.

18:41.074 --> 18:42.332
They're just pictures for me…

18:42.514 --> 18:44.106
At least unlike you, I don't go
around slapping people.

18:45.210 --> 18:46.895
That's because you’re old now.

18:47.835 --> 18:50.353
When you had the strength, you used
to slap me at the drop of a hat!

18:50.354 --> 18:51.630
What nonsense Neeti?

18:51.762 --> 18:53.177
I never hit you.

18:59.329 --> 19:00.607
She lives in denial.

19:01.667 --> 19:04.135
Or maybe just the
memory of it has faded.

19:04.849 --> 19:05.591
Mom?

19:06.618 --> 19:07.396
Mom?

19:08.258 --> 19:09.021
You’re back.

19:10.058 --> 19:10.607
Yes.

19:11.258 --> 19:12.962
Can you serve lunch?
- Yeah...

19:33.866 --> 19:34.605
I don't want more.

19:35.818 --> 19:37.289
But you’ve hardly eaten.

19:40.868 --> 19:42.539
Cook the lentil soup
thicker next time.

19:44.121 --> 19:44.465
Ew…

19:45.818 --> 19:46.613
Yuck...

19:51.769 --> 19:53.534
If you have a problem with it, why
don’t you cook it yourself next time?

20:09.362 --> 20:11.839
I think your mom couldn't…

20:12.258 --> 20:15.466
Handle the loss of
your father leaving.

20:15.467 --> 20:16.777
But for me, she was all I had…

20:18.626 --> 20:19.850
And she didn't care about me at all.

20:23.083 --> 20:24.006
It made me so angry.

20:25.035 --> 20:26.225
How did you express your anger?

20:27.169 --> 20:28.451
I used to work
really hard in school.

20:29.418 --> 20:31.286
I just wanted attention,
no matter how.

20:34.202 --> 20:36.211
Whatever little love there was,
It all went to Preeti.

20:38.210 --> 20:40.828
Maybe, Neeti, you're still…

20:41.514 --> 20:43.594
Holding all that anger inside.

20:46.091 --> 20:46.559
I don't know.

20:49.267 --> 20:50.926
You never told me this, dear…

20:53.289 --> 20:55.101
You never got to
live your childhood.

20:57.139 --> 20:58.379
This usually happens in families…

20:59.250 --> 21:00.796
Everyone feels like
their pain hurts the most.

21:01.328 --> 21:04.363
But, if we truly
listen to each other,

21:05.554 --> 21:07.548
We'll realize that in some way,

21:08.338 --> 21:09.837
Our pain is more in common than
one would assume….

21:13.418 --> 21:14.761
You'll make a mess of everything.

21:14.762 --> 21:16.922
Yes, I know. I mess up everything!
Even my memory is messed up,

21:17.018 --> 21:19.042
My work is a mess…
Even the food I cook is a mess…

21:19.130 --> 21:20.217
Everything I do is bad, right?
- Leave it,

21:20.218 --> 21:20.797
I'll make it.

21:20.798 --> 21:22.378
This damn mixer is
from another century!!

21:22.618 --> 21:24.017
Why don't you open the new one?

21:24.018 --> 21:25.205
I'm not doing the project!

21:26.299 --> 21:28.057
Please stop fighting, both of you.

21:28.907 --> 21:30.907
We're not fighting.
Not at all, we're not fighting.

21:31.002 --> 21:32.141
Mummy, we're not fighting, right?

21:32.266 --> 21:33.235
No, no, dear.

21:33.609 --> 21:35.013
We're not fighting at all.

21:35.562 --> 21:37.299
You sit outside,
I'll bring the shake.

21:39.833 --> 21:40.507
What the–!

22:00.978 --> 22:02.166
Ha ha!

22:21.578 --> 22:23.074
Neeti, I wanted
to say something to you...

22:24.498 --> 22:26.261
Your father didn't go away
because of you,

22:26.738 --> 22:28.363
Nor because of me.

22:30.306 --> 22:32.703
He wanted to leave, so he left.

22:34.658 --> 22:36.125
Mom, you just need to be all right.

22:37.283 --> 22:39.184
Nothing else matters to me.

22:40.826 --> 22:42.269
Nothing’s going to happen to me.

22:51.202 --> 22:52.882
You just get a grip on your anger.

22:55.106 --> 22:56.178
Look, who's talking...

22:57.018 --> 22:57.592
Yes, well…

23:00.026 --> 23:01.889
Anger hollows you
to the bone, dear...

23:04.714 --> 23:05.941
It tramples everything.
Leaves nothing behind.

23:28.285 --> 23:29.775
Now that the proposals have
started to come in, what can I do?

23:31.227 --> 23:32.204
No matter what I do,
your mom and dad

23:32.205 --> 23:33.103
are never going to
agree to this match.

23:33.923 --> 23:35.313
For them, I'll always
remain a mechanic's son.

23:36.618 --> 23:38.546
At least try to
prove yourself first.

23:39.073 --> 23:41.606
You know I can't do a 9-to-5 job,

23:41.607 --> 23:43.332
What else should I do?--
- And what exactly can you do?

23:44.690 --> 23:46.027
Love..you.

23:52.345 --> 23:55.913
If you truly loved me,
you would've put in some effort.

23:57.546 --> 23:59.264
You would’ve done something
with your life.

23:59.265 --> 24:01.697
I helped you twice.
I gave you two chances.

24:04.393 --> 24:05.393
You won't be able to do anything.

24:24.602 --> 24:27.756
Destiny…Is greater than love...

24:28.587 --> 24:30.507
No matter how true your love is,

24:30.682 --> 24:32.979
One day, it loses to destiny.

24:34.082 --> 24:36.276
Match is made in heaven.

24:36.634 --> 24:37.986
We just seek it out in this world.

24:38.658 --> 24:41.181
Like Raj and Simran…
Your father and I,

24:41.466 --> 24:42.955
Neeti and Vishnu
became a pair…

24:43.161 --> 24:45.276
Even you and Ashok
became such soulmates.

24:45.786 --> 24:47.134
Ashok is not my soulmate.

24:48.882 --> 24:50.834
But weren’t you the one
to pick out Ashok?

25:09.138 --> 25:11.365
Hmm
- How was your meeting?

25:11.676 --> 25:12.912
How did you like Ashok?

25:14.457 --> 25:15.882
He was fine. Polite.

25:17.242 --> 25:17.867
He was nice.

25:18.258 --> 25:20.218
I knew you'd like him.

25:20.539 --> 25:21.814
I'll just call up his
mother right now

25:21.815 --> 25:23.179
and tell her that we
accept the proposal.

25:23.512 --> 25:24.852
What! Wait, Mom!

25:26.095 --> 25:28.228
When did I ever say that?
- You just said it!

25:28.744 --> 25:30.242
I only said he's polite.

25:30.554 --> 25:31.932
Polite... Like the airplane steward
is polite.

25:31.933 --> 25:33.689
That doesn't mean
I'm ready to marry him.

25:45.469 --> 25:45.969
Pooja,

25:48.587 --> 25:49.813
I'm tired now, dear.

25:54.840 --> 25:56.697
Look at Kamal... His daughter,

25:58.411 --> 25:59.957
Is five years younger to you

26:00.554 --> 26:02.074
And her wedding
is already fixed…

26:02.274 --> 26:03.868
But, with you, we have no idea
where all this heading.

26:04.258 --> 26:06.782
Mom, when have I said no
to marriage?

26:08.467 --> 26:11.963
Look, dear, at your insistence,
we even gave that Prince a chance.

26:13.091 --> 26:14.635
It's been two years since then.

26:15.194 --> 26:18.034
What does Ashok lack?
He's a decent boy.

26:18.779 --> 26:20.454
There won't be any restrictions
at his home, either.

26:21.211 --> 26:21.985
Mom…

26:22.650 --> 26:25.117
I'm your mother and I'll always
want what's best for you.

26:25.118 --> 26:26.348
Why would I wish anything bad?

26:35.860 --> 26:37.586
Let it be, it's fine.

26:39.562 --> 26:41.415
I've cooked rajma for lunch,
just the way you like them.

26:42.387 --> 26:43.137
Come and eat.

26:50.891 --> 26:51.391
Come.

26:56.192 --> 26:57.500
I'll work after marriage though.

26:59.434 --> 27:01.880
Of course! Who's stopping you?

27:03.298 --> 27:04.298
Hand me your phone. Fast!

27:04.674 --> 27:06.699
Your father will be so
happy to hear this.

27:08.211 --> 27:10.804
“I got duped by my
mother's emotional blackmail.”

27:14.572 --> 27:16.374
Did I force you onto
the wedding altar?

27:18.098 --> 27:20.651
All the girls of your age were
happily settling down in their lives,

27:21.178 --> 27:23.175
And I also just wanted you
to be happy like others.

27:26.023 --> 27:27.250
Was that a mistake?

27:28.850 --> 27:31.242
I just didn't want to
see my daughter lonely.

27:31.579 --> 27:33.163
Mom, I was happy already.

27:34.298 --> 27:36.161
I was learning our business,

27:36.162 --> 27:38.897
I had plans to expand the shop,

27:39.875 --> 27:41.338
But you made it seem like,

27:41.339 --> 27:43.698
If I didn't get married, terrible
things would happen to me.

27:45.162 --> 27:47.386
You were badgering me for two years!

27:48.203 --> 27:50.929
And to add to that, your tears,
taunts, comments…

27:53.458 --> 27:56.070
I said yes to Ashok
out of sheer exhaustion.

28:01.706 --> 28:03.369
What's your problem?

28:03.370 --> 28:04.952
Is he an alcoholic?
A gambler? A drug addict?

28:04.953 --> 28:05.930
What exactly is the problem?

28:06.074 --> 28:07.372
Tell me!

28:07.373 --> 28:08.902
Mom, he's boring!

28:09.153 --> 28:10.619
I say something,
he gets something else.

28:10.620 --> 28:12.257
He says something
and I don't get it either.

28:12.258 --> 28:14.377
There's no connection between us.

28:14.378 --> 28:16.751
Do you want a circus clown
for a husband?

28:16.946 --> 28:19.040
Who'll dance around you just to keep
you entertained?

28:19.210 --> 28:20.410
You've become so selfish Pinky!

28:20.658 --> 28:23.202
Am I selfish?
You'll just say anything now?

28:23.203 --> 28:25.061
Just because I said
my husband should be,

28:25.062 --> 28:27.258
someone I actually like,
that just makes me selfish?

28:27.778 --> 28:29.422
I'm not like you, Mom!

28:29.547 --> 28:32.027
Keeping everyone
and everything before myself.

28:33.162 --> 28:35.860
Look at yourself,
look what you've become.

28:36.138 --> 28:37.470
And tell me... What did you get
from your marriage?

28:38.162 --> 28:40.979
You're talking as if you found
true love in your damn marriage!

29:03.820 --> 29:05.085
That was love…right?

29:08.874 --> 29:10.314
Whatever I cooked,

29:11.354 --> 29:13.157
He never refused to it.
He’d eat it happily.

29:20.138 --> 29:21.568
He gave me happiness.

29:22.435 --> 29:23.755
He treated me like a queen.

29:25.338 --> 29:27.179
He never let me feel
the lack of anything.

29:32.946 --> 29:33.727
And I…

29:36.970 --> 29:38.473
I used to find joy…

29:40.227 --> 29:41.732
In the smallest things.

29:45.921 --> 29:47.852
That's love…Isn't it..?

30:05.442 --> 30:06.127
Kamlaji,

30:06.955 --> 30:09.017
You wanted Pooja's happiness,

30:09.395 --> 30:10.575
In the best of sense that
you could comprehend.

30:12.418 --> 30:14.458
And Pooja…
Kamlaji comes from a place…

30:15.138 --> 30:18.375
Where the zenith of happiness
in life is to get married.

30:22.203 --> 30:24.523
Kamlaji, you're the one
who’s always said that,

30:24.835 --> 30:27.026
You gave Pooja the best upbringing
you could.

30:27.938 --> 30:28.745
So, obviously…

30:29.211 --> 30:31.715
She grew up believing that she
could be anyone or achieve anything.

30:32.338 --> 30:34.395
That’s confidence... And you're
the one who instilled that in her.

30:49.091 --> 30:50.419
Grandma, that one…

30:50.658 --> 30:52.138
This one…

30:56.963 --> 30:57.803
Aah!

30:59.218 --> 31:02.040
Wow, you’d never let me
pluck the raw mangoes!

31:06.842 --> 31:08.950
Mom, where are the papers
for my fixed deposit?

31:09.130 --> 31:10.013
What fixed deposit?

31:10.995 --> 31:11.960
There's just one.

31:11.961 --> 31:13.935
The one Dad started
twenty years ago.

31:14.460 --> 31:15.955
There should be around
14 lac rupees in it by now.

31:16.513 --> 31:19.111
I don't remember…
Check it the next time you come.

31:19.922 --> 31:21.728
Should I pack some aloo-poori
for the road?

31:22.282 --> 31:22.671
Yes.

31:23.586 --> 31:25.444
Daani, go inside for a bit.

31:26.249 --> 31:26.639
Come,

31:27.507 --> 31:30.248
Let's wash these properly first…

31:30.562 --> 31:31.685
And then…

31:33.666 --> 31:34.255
You go on, dear.

31:37.130 --> 31:38.890
Wash them and eat.
- Okay.

31:45.018 --> 31:45.815
What did you do with
the fixed deposit?

31:47.858 --> 31:49.322
You came all the way
from Delhi to settle accounts?

31:49.786 --> 31:52.166
Last year, rain dampened the walls
of the whole house.

31:52.874 --> 31:54.236
How else was I
supposed to get it fixed?

31:54.237 --> 31:55.248
Would Vishnu have paid for it?

31:56.294 --> 31:57.442
That was my fixed deposit.

31:58.298 --> 32:00.857
You could've asked me once.
- It was a joint deposit.

32:01.498 --> 32:02.938
You didn't have
sole right over it.

32:03.027 --> 32:05.034
I did have a right.
I'm the daughter of this house.

32:06.266 --> 32:09.056
Papa made that deposit for me,
in case I faced any hardship–

32:09.057 --> 32:10.395
And what hardship are you
facing exactly?

32:11.611 --> 32:13.171
Married off into a
rich Delhi family.

32:13.172 --> 32:14.231
You guys have a business,

32:14.698 --> 32:15.897
Your husband even
earns additionally…

32:16.235 --> 32:18.131
I needed to fix my house.

32:18.482 --> 32:20.545
But, I wanted to buy my
own house mom!

32:22.139 --> 32:23.267
And that was my money!

32:25.018 --> 32:26.955
Gosh, now you can't even live
peacefully with your in-laws' too?

32:28.962 --> 32:30.897
Neeti, what do you want?

32:31.625 --> 32:32.608
How much more will you take?

32:33.338 --> 32:34.444
For once, look at your selfishness.

32:35.145 --> 32:36.225
It’s mind boggling to think of it.

32:36.890 --> 32:37.910
Can I say something?

32:39.799 --> 32:41.777
Dad left because of you.

32:43.211 --> 32:43.941
And that's the truth.

32:46.210 --> 32:49.014
He couldn't tolerate someone
like you and that's why he left.

33:10.207 --> 33:13.355
I have dreams, which
can't be fulfilled staying here.

33:13.658 --> 33:16.098
And when did I ever stop
you from fulfilling your dreams?

33:16.297 --> 33:17.393
But why Delhi?

33:17.978 --> 33:19.792
Because I’m getting admission
to a good college!

33:20.058 --> 33:20.995
Why shouldn't I go?

33:21.467 --> 33:24.375
All I know is that girls, who leave
home young, never come back.

33:25.074 --> 33:25.976
I know that.

33:27.753 --> 33:28.593
I’m not Dad.

33:31.026 --> 33:32.730
You think if you go to Delhi,

33:33.586 --> 33:34.988
You'll get to trap some rich boy…

33:35.570 --> 33:36.738
And get rid of me that easily?

33:37.218 --> 33:38.145
Are you crazy?!

33:39.826 --> 33:41.099
Don't you ever call me crazy!

33:43.041 --> 33:44.393
Let me tell you something...

33:44.938 --> 33:48.910
Girls from broken families, never
make a happy family of their own.

34:06.098 --> 34:06.817
Neeti,

34:07.554 --> 34:10.196
Your mom has taken
a lot of blows in her life,

34:11.054 --> 34:13.656
And the stress of it all was
taken out on you.

34:16.606 --> 34:18.505
Whatever she said to you…

34:19.114 --> 34:20.106
Wasn't really about you.

34:21.372 --> 34:23.005
It was her own fear talking.

34:23.954 --> 34:25.249
Please understand this.

34:28.587 --> 34:30.085
And now that stress you're carrying,

34:31.841 --> 34:33.300
Doesn't have to come out on Daani.

34:36.106 --> 34:38.065
You have to break the chain.

34:43.683 --> 34:44.523
Kamlaji,

34:46.031 --> 34:47.851
Do you not like it when
Neeti and Pooja…

34:49.346 --> 34:51.144
Put their thoughts forward?

34:52.802 --> 34:55.682
Me…I–I love both of them…

34:56.361 --> 34:57.760
I’ve got nothing against them.

34:58.466 --> 34:59.791
I know Kamlaji. But maybe,

35:00.178 --> 35:01.580
Without meaning to,

35:02.122 --> 35:03.346
You end up hurting them.

35:04.115 --> 35:05.412
Because they are not like you.

35:06.642 --> 35:08.677
You compromised in your life…

35:09.865 --> 35:11.833
But, they don't want to.

35:12.583 --> 35:15.172
And maybe that is
what bothers you.

35:41.676 --> 35:42.876
“My grandma's house…”

35:43.138 --> 35:45.363
“Is in the Malihabad
area of Lucknow.”

35:46.152 --> 35:48.381
“For me, grandma's house means,”

35:48.970 --> 35:51.162
“Me, mom, and grandma.”

35:52.042 --> 35:53.037
“Grandma's house…”

35:53.858 --> 35:56.346
“Is like a time capsule of
old memories...”

35:57.122 --> 35:58.920
“You can find anything in there.”

36:02.538 --> 36:05.045
“My grandma and mom fight a lot,”

36:05.258 --> 36:06.552
“But they love each
other a lot, too.”

36:07.194 --> 36:07.994
“They're strange.”

36:09.202 --> 36:11.990
“Mom feels she's not like grandma,”

36:12.625 --> 36:15.465
“And I feel I'm not like mom.”

36:17.538 --> 36:19.338
“No matter what we do,”

36:19.786 --> 36:22.109
“We're never good enough
for our mothers.”

37:22.035 --> 37:23.755
“But that doesn't mean…”

37:24.058 --> 37:26.338
“We give up on each other.”

37:34.658 --> 37:36.523
Daani?!

37:37.351 --> 37:39.624
“We stay connected, no matter what.”

37:40.571 --> 37:41.101
Take this.

37:42.955 --> 37:43.717
This is yours.

37:45.730 --> 37:47.556
“As if nothing ever happened.”

37:48.802 --> 37:50.761
And take this,
- What’s this?

37:51.506 --> 37:52.504
See for yourself.

37:52.922 --> 37:56.084
“Like I said, it's
a strange relationship…”

38:03.002 --> 38:05.274
Work hard, dear.

38:19.880 --> 38:21.058
Mom…
- Hmm.

38:21.170 --> 38:24.012
Will my photo essay get
selected for the school magazine?

38:24.394 --> 38:25.316
Of course it will.

38:26.234 --> 38:27.468
You're the smartest one.

38:33.530 --> 38:34.258
Daanu,

38:36.130 --> 38:36.888
I'm sorry.

38:45.106 --> 38:47.842
“In this big, scary world,

38:48.906 --> 38:50.580
“When we feel like we
have no one,”

38:51.658 --> 38:52.898
“We always have our mother.”

38:54.579 --> 38:55.588
“Always.”

38:56.729 --> 38:57.276
Thank you.

39:01.818 --> 39:02.618
Come here.

39:05.707 --> 39:08.753
Three, two, one.
