Yeah, Simon.
Of course, I am coming. It took some time to push the bid.
Just... Just hold on.
How much longer?
Sir, within two minutes we'll reach.
It's a huge deal. I have no doubt...
Hey.
-Really? -Seriously.
-Here he is. -Shekhar!
Finally.
Where have you been, man?
You arrived so late! You missed Ramesh's speech.
Good I came late then.
It wasn't that bad.
He specifically thanked both you and Anuj.
-Amazing. That's surprising. -Yeah.
Where is Ramesh sir?
Guys, I'll quickly catch up with Pallavi,
I'll be back in a minute.
Yeah, sure.
Listen, give me a beer soon.
-You? -Yeah, same for me.
Good music, man.
Thank you.
Cheers.
Peace finally!
Dude.
In the last six months, you've slogged so much.
I have to say thanks for all the effort you've put in.
Anuj, come on! We're a team, man.
Seriously, I mean it.
Thank you. I appreciate it.
Anuj.
It's all very well with the credit and all.
But the appraisals are coming next week.
You must take care of it this time, please.
Please try and understand. There's a lot of pressure.
I have two EMIs to pay off.
I have to send money back home.
Don't let it be like the last time again...
Relax.
I just don't know what else to say.
-Just chill, okay? -Yes.
I will do my best, okay?
Let's forget about all this.
Let's discuss this at work tomorrow.
-Let's party today. -Yes.
-Come on, cheers. -Cheers. Cheer up!
Sanju, don't take so long. Hurry up.
I am coming. I cannot hurry.
Shekhar must be here.
The train left Laxmi Bai Nagar half an hour ago.
Our friend is coming back after three years today.
He came two years ago on Diwali.
-Really? -Yes.
He must have come for a short time or he would have told me.
He stayed for two weeks.
Let's go.
Everyone is busy during Diwali, right?
We have prayers at our shop too.
How much is he offering?
1.5?
That's all? 1.5?
The car isn't even two years old.
The EMI is still ongoing.
I should get 3.5, minimum, okay?
Three people have seen your car after you left.
No one's buying it.
Rs. 1.5 lakh is the maximum we are getting.
Find a better offer. I don't know about this.
Okay, I will call you later. Bye.
Hello!
What's up, Darshan?
-How are you, Sanju? -How are you?
Great.
-How did you come? -Our car is being serviced, so he...
I'm coming straight from the market, bro. With piping hot fritters.
Waiting for you in the car. Let's pig out, dude.
Okay, can we go home first?
I am here, right? I will keep eating.
Hey, what are you getting busy with?
Is the hug all I get? Won't you touch my feet?
You're acting too big for your boots.
That's a lot of stuff. Did you get fired?
Sir, can we go?
Yes. Get the luggage.
-Is the car outside? -Yes, it is.
Listen, Rs. 550 is final. Not a rupee more.
Hey, you! Put that down.
-Put that down, now. Put it down. -What is it?
Are you crazy? Will you pay Rs. 550?
We just have to go out!
You're not dropping the luggage home.
Listen, we're Indore native too! Who grew up eating poha-jalebi.
He ain't a foreign tourist just because he has fair skin!
-Forget about it. -Let it go. Let it be.
We will carry it ourselves.
Scam artists!
Wow! He's still dancing?
HEY, WHAT'S DARSHAN'S WIFE'S NAME ?
PRERNA
So, Darshan, how's Prerna?
God willing, happy wherever she is.
My wife's name is Priyanka.
You don't remember, right?
You'd remember if you had come to the wedding. Never mind.
-Sorry. -It's okay. No big deal.
It's not your fault you couldn't make it to our wedding.
Oh, man! I saw your TikTok from college.
That's an EDD talk.
Yes, same thing.
You were really belting it out in English!
All the kids seemed totally inspired by you.
Firing things up in Bangalore, buddy!
Tell me something.
Even the girls must be inspired by you?
Just drive on, will you?
Okay. Remember Asthana sir from our coaching class?
He saw your video too. He said he would call you to his class.
To lecture the kids.
Let the kids from Indore be inspired by you and make it big too.
Okay, see you, Darshan.
Wasn't the seat confirmed?
A1 Paradise Travel Agency has a record
in confirming emergency tickets.
You're too much.
-Bless you, be happy, my son! -Come.
Come on. Bless you. Let's go.
-Keep the stuff here. -Lift it. It's got wheels.
Oh, really? Thank you!
But, brother, you always come by flight.
Why take the train this time?
My child, there's a 15 kg limit.
And he's got a ton of luggage.
But why did you bring so much luggage?
Did you leave the city?
No! It's not like that.
Why did he come? How did he come? Why did he bring so much luggage?
You should be happy that he's come back!
After two years!
Shekhar, you've lost weight.
-I've lost weight? -Yes.
I have put on five kilos, Mom.
That's amazing! When did we get this new sofa?
We just got it this time at Holi.
Even the carpenter gave up repairing it.
It was seventh time in all these years.
Shut up.
It just needed some repairs. Would've lasted for 2 more years.
No, of course.
-What is he saying? -Not at all.
Go on and freshen up, son.
Then meet the kids I'll tutor this evening.
Career counsel them.
Mom, I just arrived here.
They will feel like becoming engineer when they see you.
Is that the only thing that will inspire them?
Poor naive kids.
While some folks idle away at home.
Anyway, one idle loser is all this city needs.
Mom, this idle loser runs your husband's travel agency.
Tell him, that I took five people to Mahakaal temple yesterday.
-Is that right? -Yes.
He never takes me to the temple.
But gives everyone else tours!
Suruchi, don't you have to go for tuition?
Yes, I'm leaving.
Listen, has the platter arrived?
Check on the extra ghee and the laddoos.
Check it yourself.
-Let's go. -Let me do that. It's better.
See that, brother!
They've ordered a platter of dal baati for their darling son.
This is how it is, Sukku!
If we lived in the city and made tons of money
in a corporate firm, we'd be pampered too.
What can we do?
Sunny is a league apart, while we're on the other team.
-What can be done? -Oh, dear.
Life is so tough.
Yours?
Don't you have to go?
I am leaving.
One moment, excuse me.
"Excuse me!" Corporate crap!
"Excuse me."
Is he going to apologise for sneezing too?
-I am sorry. -God bless you.
-I've got to go, you know. -Get lost.
-Yeah, Reema. -Hi, Shekhar, how are you?
Just going on. Tell me.
Your FNF is processed. Relieving letter was emailed to you.
-Okay. -Email me your updated CV, please.
I will float it around.
You're bound to get something or the other soon.
Okay, I will send it to you. Thanks.
Reema, I don't want to hear it.
You guys do whatever you want, okay? I'm out of here.
Anuj! At least listen to me.
Shekhar. Come.
I am Sorry. After this fund-raise
we are letting go of the entire team.
Shekhar?
Do you understand what is he saying?
I am sorry, actually, no.
I mean, we just rolled out new features and
just last night, all of us were together and Ramesh was...
you know all...
Well, that's how it is at present, Shekhar.
See, we are happy to help you with the outplacement.
Or in any other way.
But how can you just...
There has to be some...
Some... explain... I don't know, I...
I just don't...

♪ Indore will surely do it the sixth time ♪
Sanju!
Sanju, get the garbage out. The truck will leave, then...
Mom, softly!
Sunny, I am glad you're awake.
Go and throw it out. Throw wet garbage to the left.
Put the dry garbage to the right.
Mom, don't you put the garbage out when you sleep?
What are you saying?
We don't own a flat.
The exhaust fan in the bathroom is not working.
The smoke will go to the kitchen and mom will know.
Heck!
That's so true, sir.
Yes, of course.
Since when you started smoke?
Give me a moment, please.
There is an old cupboard on the terrace.
That blocks the view.
Watch out for the neighbours.
The lady comes out for drying clothes.
No, I am not telling you to dry clothes!
Yes. This is a great idea.
I'll come.
Come on, this is needed.
Well, then make it for spice.
The kids keep asking...
Yes, it's coming via Chomali.
So, I just wanted to say that...
No, listen. I will come and talk to you.
There is no privacy at home.
No, nothing has happened. Just like that.
Okay. Hail Mahakaal.
Who is this?
I asked you something.
He's a senior from college.
He runs a gaming parlour in Indore.
He brought in the pool and billiards culture.
Last month, brother set up SP 5.
Brother is just killing it in Indore!
Is that right?
You've never called me brother.
You need to earn it.
-I see. -Yes.
Suruchi calls me brother.
Suruchi says what everyone wants to hear.
And Suruchi is...
Forget it.
What about Suruchi?
You won't beleive it.
Can you stop being so dramatic and just tell me?
Your sister has grown up.
She has snared some guy at the coaching class.
Punjabi. Pahwa!
What? Such nonsense!
Pahwa! As if she would have told me.
Oh, brother is hurt!
Sukku didn't tell her brother about her boyfriend.
It's okay, don't believe me.
You can believe the neighbours when they say it.
-Take this. -Which has more tea?
This has more tea.
Son, your tea.
Listen, set up your cupboard.
There are old things. Just check that out.
-Okay, listen, mom. -Okay?
Where is my cricket bat that used to be here?
We cleared it out during the last Diwali cleaning.
How could you just throw it? It had MS Dhoni's signature!
Listen, you were insisting, right?
So, I signed a plain bat.
If you had looked closely it didn't say, MS Dhoni.
It said Madhuvanti!
Mom!
Sunny!
Yes?
Sunny, Asthana sir has called you to the tuition class.
Fine. I will go there.
Thanks, Shekhar.
For inspiring these young kids with your experience.
Let's have another huge round of applause for Shekhar.
No, that's okay.
Please.
So, Steve without Jobs! How does it feel to be home?
You also taunt me!
It's not happening. I want to leave.
People revere me so much here, I just can't lie.
I feel awkward, I swear.
I would still advice you that tell the truth to your family.
No, if I tell them they will be heartbroken.
I know it. I will see about it when I get a new job.
What's the new job scenario?
I have applied. The market is down.
I just need a reply from LD Finance.
Wait. Can you take me to old Palash Nagar?
Please come.
Listen, brother.
Healthy Fine is out of reach, presently.
You won't get a reply from there.
They only hire hotshot MBAs.
Try to get into Bill pay.
They have a vacancy opening up. It's inside news.
What are you saying? The Bill pay gig? Are you mad?
I am not in such a bad situation yet.
Don't you know how toxic the work culture out there is?
I see. The last company had fabulous culture. What happened?
Listen, you are...
Listen to me. There are problems everywhere.
Some have appraisals which don't go beyond 5 per cent
some have work-life balance issues.
Some have a CEO who is guilty of Me Too.
You have to work somewhere, right?
I get it, but...
It's just that. They will pay less salary for one thing.
I can't afford a pay cut right now.
I have two EMIs, a student loan, a loan for the car.
Dad asked me why I didn't send money this month. What do I say?
That's why I say, just hold on to a job.
Then you can choose at will.
Listen, I will call you back, later. Okay?
My meeting is about to begin. Goodbye.
That's right.

-Here you are. -Here, dad.
Okay.
So, listen.
Get ready in the evening.
We have to go to the temple.
Dad, I have some work in the evening.
Hello! Do you know mom's rules?
It's Monday.
First, pray to Lord Mahadev and then do your other work.
I had to go there this morning.
I got off the hook because of you.
If we don't go... Then you see this?
She will chase us with it. So just get ready.
Okay, okay.
♪ Why stop me? I am not aware. ♪
-Dad, tell me something. -Yes.
Are you retired or what?
Son, the thing is our travel agency
is actually
as redundant as a landline phone in the era of cell phones.
There isn't much work anyway, son.
It's a bit of work and it gets done.
As for my being here at this time
you will find me here, nearly every day.
Because this is when your mom sings inside. Do you hear her?
So do one thing.
Go and water the curry leaf plant there.
It will ease my work. I will do this.
Okay?
Stop! What are you doing?
-What? The curry leaf... -That's neem!
You were sitting in front of it, right here.
They are from the same family!
The curry leaf plant is further ahead.
-I get it. -You eat curry leaf in sambar daily.
Don't you remember?
May God grant you everything that you want.
Go and ask.
I need a job, God.
The shops were outside, first.
Now they are inside.
They have changed quite a lot.
If you come every two years, things will change, brother.
That's true.
-You've changed a lot too. -Yes.
I have heard you've got a guy.
Sanju.
Brother, since when do you believe Sanju?
Since you stopped telling me.
Ask me, what do you want me to tell you?
There is nothing worth telling you so what can I say?
Okay, end of story.
It's end of story!
So, didn't Sanju tell you about himself?
What?
Sanju and Kamal.
Who Kamal? The guy who runs the gaming parlour?
Yes.
-What? -Brother.
Sanju and Kamal!
-No way! -Yes.
-That's nonsense! -Do you think I am kidding?
Okay, no. Till now, you had a girlfriend, I had a boyfriend.
Why didn't Sanju ever have a girlfriend?
-No! -Why don't.
Okay, don't believe me.
You can believe the world when it says so.
That's a very quick revert!
This is nice.
Thank you!
Yes, yes.
I think it is a very good direction to go in.
And it's innovative, it's very much required also.
True, true.
I think that
my core competencies match Healthy Fine’s vision quite closely.
And the vision it has for the health and the fitness sector of course...
So, yes. I would love to interview
for the junior PM role if it's still open.
Got it, Shekhar.
We will do our next round with our
co-founder and product head, Kanak Sethi
on Saturday.
Okay, okay.
I think, shouldn't be a problem. Saturday works for me.
Great! I will send you an email.
Okay, thank you so much.
What are you doing?
Do you have to make all the sounds right now?
No, I will do it later too, brother.
It was an important interview.
How was the interview?
-Yes? -It was amazing.
This place seems to be new. When was it set up?
I don't know when this opened but
don't you remember?
That guy, you know...
Maneesh!
-Mewani? -Mewani.
-Our senior? -Yes.
-And that AIR 3, CIT and so on. -That's the one.
-He is in the US, he's killing it-- -He was killing it.
He came back to Indore.
He set up this new place.
I mean, after studying so much and going to the US
and he has come back to sell tea, in Indore of all places!
Buddy
some people actually like the place they belong to.
-Good morning, Javed Bhai. -Morning.
Do some work at times. You play games all day.
What are you saying? It's not as if we are flooded with bookings.
You know what it's like.
When the T20 is on, who cares for test cricket?
-How are you, Javed Bhai? -I am fine.
This test match
paid for your dad and my expenses.
By the way, did you make any profit from the T20?
I did.
Let the final match get done. We will make a lot of profit.
Did you complete the paperwork?
Paperwork doesn't come into play with Kamal. He is my big brother.
We will only deal with one kind of paper.
Hi, hello, everyone.
May I have your attention for two minutes, please?
Maneesh.
Today, we've got some free pastries for all of you.
Yes. Please.
This is Prakash who set up a bakery on Racecourse road a year ago.
It is called Dessert Delight.
I invested a bit in that too.
So, the first year has been very good.
Maneesh invests in small businesses in Indore.
What went wrong...
-Angle investor type. -Please try these pastries.
-Angel investor. -That's my request.
-Brother! -Darshan!
Amazing.
-Sit. Sit. -No!
-Hi. -Hi, please sit.
-How are you doing? -All well, brother.
I mean, I don't even see you.
Brother, I am busy with work.
-That's fine. -How are you?
-I am fine. Doing good. -This is Shekhar Dwivedi.
He was the topper of my year.
Hi! Bro.
-How are you? -I am good.
Where are you these days?
I am in Bangalore. I have a job there so...
I came back home for some time.
-How are you doing? -Just happening.
-This is my work. -It's so good. I just love it.
-Is it? -Yes, it is.
So, since we are talking about it
I want to ask you something. I hope you don't mind.
Yes, tell me.
I mean, you lived in the US and lived a good life.
You were in the Forbes 30 under 30 too.
That was so good! You were the pride of Indore!
So, leaving all that behind to come here...
To run a tea cafe? I don't get it.
Shekhar, what are you saying to him?
-It's okay. -But--
That's a valid question.
Shekhar, I figured if a tea vendor can run the country
why am I in the US? So, I came back.
That was just too good!
So, do you guys need anything?
-No. -All good?
-Fine? -Yeah, all good, sir.
Take some pastries if you need them.
Let me finish the first one.
It's free, take another.
Okay, I will see you around, right?
-Yes, brother. -Enjoy.
This is good.
What is that? Speaking to him that way is just rude!
How can you say that?
Are you a kid? We are adults and can talk.
Where is Abhijeet these days?
He left for Silicon Valley.
The guy already has a green card.
This is truly the age of Kalyug.
He is eating Western style Gulab jamuns.
Where is Ridhima these days? Do you know?
I see! Okay.
Now we get to the point.
I am just asking, okay?
She is in Indore. She came some months back.
So, tell me something.
You never spoke to her after school, right?
How could you anyway?
After that stunt, you pulled off she left school too, right?
Yes, I mean...
I was such a creep back then! What was I thinking?
Brother, don't beat yourself up about it.
If a girl breaks up with me to go to group study with another boy
I would shout at her from the palace with a mic, not just in class!
Only you could do that.
Although my dad would give me the third degree later.

Brother! Mom has called you to eat.
Mother, the curry is amazing.
Why don't you take any?
I thought, I'd finish yesterday's Ridge gourd and eat this later.
Thank God! Someone in this family likes the food I cook.
It's just khichdi, otherwise we like the food.
Of course.
So, you tell me. How are you doing at work?
It's going very well. All good.
But I am thinking of switching now.
Why?
Growth has halted. I am not having fun.
You are right. Growth
and salad with papad can never be enough.
Listen to me, carefully.
I called everyone for lunch on Saturday to meet Shekhar.
Since he has come back after so long.
Mom, Saturday isn't possible. I have an interview.
Which company is it?
-Wait. -It's--
Who has an interview on Saturday?
-Let me speak to them. -Let her speak to them.
It's not done, mom. You should ask before planning something.
I see, now I have to ask you?
The world will run as per your schedule.
If they are coming to meet me they will have to.
Say no for Saturday.
I will do that.
Thank you.
Brother, do you know why mom didn't eat cashew curry and carrot halva?
No, why?
The doctor told her not to. She had high BP last year.
Seriously?
Why doesn't anyone tell me anything?
Mom and dad had refused, since you are far and will worry.
Shekhar has an important meeting on Saturday.
You know what these huge companies are like.
One moment, sister-in-law.
I've postponed the interview to the evening. We can have lunch.
Okay, sister-in-law.
But I told Shekhar
that he should finish it all by lunchtime.
He will be there.
Yes, of course, for sure.
You know how quick Shekhar is at doing his work.
Yes, see you. Bye.
Why are you grunting?
You're so wily!
Yes, I learnt from you, the finest.
I didn't teach you anything. You'd been trained by your family.
Sanju, please take care of everyone.
Please come in! How long does it take to come here. Hello!
Come and sit.
Come in.
Shekhar. This is Mrs. Pathak.
-Hello, aunt. -This is Mrs. Sharma.
Hello.
Come in and sit.
-Come on. -Hello.
Eat well!
Listen, did you touch uncle Chaubey's feet?
Who is he?
The man with the blue muffler on.
Yes, I did.
Listen, touch his feet while leaving. He gets upset.
Okay? Tell him.
Tell me.
They are all new. Where are the old ones?
We have been waiting since so long! Come on in.
Come in.
Shekhar. This is Ankita.
-She is Mrs. Chaturvedi's daughter. -Hi.
-Ankita. -Hello.
This is Shekhar, he is my eldest son.
He has a job in a multinational company in Bangalore.
-He is a manager. -Mom.
I am junior product manager in a start-up.
So, you'll be a senior too!
Sister-in-law, didn't you want to see my chiffon sari?
-Yes. -I got it from the Kothari market.
Let me show it to you.
Suruchi, my dear, take care of everyone.
-Yes, mom. -Let's go.
Please sit. Don't stand. Ankita, brother.
Ankita, please be comfortable.
I will check on the rest of the guests.
-Ankita, please take something. -No, I am fine.
Okay.
So, Ankita, what do you do?
I just became a company secretary.
Wow! That's a tough one.
Thanks.
So,
what are your hobbies?
Hobbies?
Like, mine is reading books, listening to music, travelling.
That's great.
Well, I like surfing the net.
Binge watching...
I just got interested in crypto.
Take it easy.
-So-- -Don't you like kids?
No! I mean, it's not like that.
I like kids.
[Religious song continues]
Sister-in-law, what are you saying?
What? Stop it, sister-in-law!
We have been connected for so many years now.
How can you think like that?
No! But I will speak to him!
I will speak to Shekhar.
Listen, there must be some misunderstanding.
Sister-in-law, let me speak to Shekhar and then tell you.
Why are you so... Hello?
Hello, sister-in-law?
What is going on?
What did you say to Ankita?
I told her I am not interested in talks of marriage.
Oh, God!
She had no idea you didn't know about this.
With so much difficulty I got a proposal
from our Kanyakubja group!
Now no one will give moving ahead.
Mom, you need to tell me about this, first. Okay?
I see!
Do you tell us everything that we must ask you?
What is the big deal if I introduce you to a girl?
You could be nice for ten minutes! How would it harm you?
-You could have refused later. -Listen!
-Slow down. -Mom, please calm down first. Okay?
This is not done... "Talk for ten minutes and then refuse later."
You should not make decisions about marriage without asking me.
That's all it is.
I see, so would you say yes if we asked you?
-Yes! No! Of course not! -Calm down both of you.
Why should I calm down?
-Do you hear what he's saying? -Mom, you are shouting again.
-Mom, let me speak-- -Calm down.
-Get married! I am not shouting.
-Did I say anything wrong? -Sunny! Not another word.
Please calm down.
Do you want the neighbours to hear you
fighting with each other?
What are you saying? Calm down and speak. What is it?
Dad, it is simple. I don't want to get married right now.
There we go! He doesn't want to get married now.
Do you know you're turning 30 next year?
No, mom, 29, okay?
How does it matter whether it's 29 or 30?
Listen to me, now.
After a certain age, you get women, not girls.
He's bringing a woman home, I can bet on that.
So okay, I will go and find someone for myself a woman.
Are we done? Problem solved?
Please, Madhu.
-Just listen to his sharp retorts! -Calm down.
Breathe deeply!
-Madhu! -Can he say things like that?
-He will bring a woman! -You're hyperventilating!
Don't make yourself sick! Listen to me.
Sunny, what is your problem right now? You tell me that.
You are well settled in Bangalore and have a job there.
You have a decent salary and a car.
-You have a house, albeit on rent. -I don't have a job, dad.
What?
I don't have a job. I got fired.
It's been three months.
Oh heck!
So, I came back here, I thought I'll find a job from here.
Then I would go back.
I had an interview about that, in the afternoon.
But you wanted to host a lunch.
Are we done with lunch?
That was just amazing. Wow!
-Hey. -What?
Hello!
Yes. I know.
And I have said, I've cleared all payments.
Check your accounts, please.
Please stop calling me right now. I am in the middle of a meeting.
This boy is telling us now that he lost his job!
What is wrong with him?
I made a mistake, sending him to Bangalore.
This is too much!
You will raise your BP.
You are set on going to the hospital.
What should I do? Tell me, what should I do?
-What do I do? -Hey man, what's up?
He won't marry and he doesn't have a job!
Shekhar?
Is there something wrong in the line?
I can hear you.
Shekhar, hi. You're on mute.
No, I don't think he can hear us.
Shekhar, can you hear us?
No, of course not!
Shekhar, can you hear us?
He's not responding.
Should we try reconnecting again?
Yes, sir. Let me fix this. I will just figure out what happened.
So sorry.
I didn't even want to say it but I had to due to the situation.
-Give me that white one. -I just to be clear.
Your interview was scheduled with HealthyFine.
Your dream company.
And you crapped?
Palash, you don't get it!
I can't do it at home! I need to get out.
I thought I would come here, find a job and leave.
But there is no peace here!
Tell me, something. I have no job, I have loans to pay off.
And yet they want to get me married! Different priorities in life!
What can I explain to them?
I miss Bangalore at such times.
At least one gets drunk and passes out.
One can't even do that here.
I just have to get out of here.
Why did I come here? I lived in Bangalore.
I could have found a job there and this would never happen.
Heck, man!
