Do you both have any idea...
....what mom and dad plan to wear for the costume party?
Guys, they're planning to come...
- ...as... - No, not this again.
Mom and dad can't do anything simpler?
- Right? - I feel...
...it's their way of bringing some excitement back into their life.
Well, bro, last year you were looking damn cute.
Yeah! Last year's theme was favourite vegetable combo, right?
- Correct. - Vikrant's a-do-ra-ble.
- Hi. - Tease all you want.
I'm sure to win this time.
Nidhi, listen...
...I think this year you should just give up, okay?
With Zia around,....
....your chances are looking very slim. She's hyper excited.
- What happened? - What are you doing?
You know how competitive she is.
By the way, what are you going to be?
Oh I was thinking I'll come as an owl.
Yeah, brilliant! Owl.
Such a low hanging fruit for you!
You look like one anyway. In Indian context,...
...owl is like bad luck....
...which is the current state of your life and affairs.
Bro, are you going bald?
Your hairline is receding from both sides within a week.
- Look. - That's not funny, Prerna.
- You are losing hair. - That's personal.
- That's not funny. - I don't think it's funny either.
Bro, Akansha's still observing vow of silence? I thought it was only for 3 days.
It's really good for her. It's very important.
Bro, it's amazing! I like this change.
We've never been happier.
Alas, only 7 hours to go.
Such a dog!
Prerna, don't tell us,...
...let's guess what mom and dad are coming as.
Try, you won't be able to...
Swans.
A pair of swans, that kind of vibe.
Elephant.
They create havoc wherever they go without even realising it.
Just bulldoze their way.
I think she should come as a parasite.
If an animal is passing by, mom will pounce and suck its blood!
- Dominate everyone. - It's not fair.
Suck's our lives out.
- That's amazing! - We'll all die in hell.
- You guys are horrible. - Parasite is spot on.
It's kinda true...
A little higher.
You hold it at that level.
Wait, I'll show you.
Hold it like that.
Pramila, how do I look?
Deer or mongoose?
You look foolish!
What are you looking at? Get to work.
- Hold that. - Listen,...
..I won't be a snake, understand?
Pramila, don't say these things before the party.
You know I get sensitive about these things.
I don't care!
Pramila, I've planned a story around these costumes.
I don't have time for this, Govind.
How can you do this to me? C'mon!
- Pramila, listen. - Nisha!
What are you looking at? Are you married?
Get to work.
Nisha, have you chopped the vegetables?
Have you put the chickpeas in the cooker?
Yes, madam.
But, what if we make humus instead of chickpea gravy?
We can try that with' bhature'.
Sorry.
Oh no! We're not going to do a compatibility test.
Oh c'mon! How bad can it be?
It'll be fun.
Are you scared?
No, I just think you can't handle the truth.
Oh really? Oh then we must play this.
- All right, are you ready? - Bring it on.
Okay, the first question.
Your favourite thing to have with tea.
That's a rustic compatibility test!
Are these your shady magazines?
Just answer.
Okay....
...Marie... No!
The evergreen, the little G, Parle G.
Shrewsbury biscuits always, please.
- Fancy. - Very.
All right second question, your favourite romantic song.
''Channa mere aa''
- ''Channa mere aa'' - What?
The song says remember me in your prayers!
That's your romantic song?
What do you know of the value of one-sided love, Prerna Babu?
Oh no! You're filmy!
Okay.
All right, next question.
Favourite vacation.
Today you've reached the last step of your temporary vow of silence.
The next 6 hours are crucial for you.
Just think.
After maintaining silence for three days...
...what will be your first word?
What's this? I look like Yogi Bear!
Papa, not Yogi Bear but Winnie the Pooh!
Wish I were a bear!
I'd hibernate for 6 months!
Free yourself from things....
....happening around you.
Today Zia will draw a bear.
Zia, please put the fork back.
No, papa.
Ziu, forks and spoons are friends.
You took one away. They're missing their friend. Is that good?
There you go.
Papa, let's go. The competition will start.
Wait a minute, Ziu. We're to draw noses for the panda bears.
Then we'll go. You play.
''Have no fear''
''Papa bear is here''
''All I want is a nice cool beer''
Crap, Naksh! No!
Crap!
I'm so sorry.
- Crap. - Zia, no.
Very bad. Don't say those words.
Yes, dad.
What happened to mom now?
What?
F**k.
Yes, I'm minding my language. Yeah, I'm alone.
Okay, bye.
There are parents at home.
How many hotel rooms can one book?
Calm down.
- You tell me where we should go. - Calm down.
Let me talk.
Sir, sorry. We'll go elsewhere.
Madam, this is public area.
- You... - Better tell her.
What will he tell? You tell me.
Where should a girlfriend and boyfriend go?
Wait a minute.
Girlfriend boyfriend?
Really?
Madam, take your boyfriend...
- ...to some corner. - Sir...
Okay.
- Okay. - Okay.
Okay, sir, we're leaving.
Sorry.
Do you want to come along? May I go?
Go.
- Really? - Don't....
Then what happened after you got your heart broken?
Oh the usual.
Seven steps of depression.
We just...
I think we wanted different things in life....
...you know...
And he...
Forget it. It is what it is.
Here
Wait a minute.
It wasn't that bad!
Are you serious?
Your favourite.
Oh my... I cannot believe you did this.
Thank you so much. This is amazing.
You know relationships and all...
...should be like tea and biscuits.
Tea and biscuits...
...taste nice separately but together they're amazing!
But if it's too much, it breaks.
Deep. Very deep.
Seriously, thank you so much. This is...
...amazing.
You are amazing.
Baby,...
...the costume party is at home.
It's not the Oscars!
I mean, you're so smart.
You're so intelligent.
You have so many degrees.
I just don't understand this weird superstition.
What are you talking about?
Have you completely forgotten?
Whenever I win a fancy dress, something great happens.
- Yes. - It's all connected.
- Correct. - Do you remember...
...when I was 7 and I won as Abdul Kalam...
...next day I got that doll house.
4 years back...
...when I won as Gabbar, I got a job.
- 14 years back when I dressed up as... - Cinderella...
That day you became a pumpkin.
And you saw Shah Rukh Khan!
Exactly.
This time I'm going to get that promotion.
Of course, now I understand. It's destiny.
- It's all connected. - Yeah.
Now c'mon help me. Make my whiskers...
...and then I think we should add a little hair here and there.
- Oh yeah. - For authenticity.
- Yes. - Do you think I should change?
This colour's fine?
I've got a mane but...
Help me with my role.
Akansha's calling.
- Dhruv, don't do this. Help me. - 2 minutes.
Hi, Akansha.
How are you? Yes.
Dhruv, get back here right now.
That's why it's my favourite.
- I... - Already.
Yeah.
It has been 4 hours.
Time flies.
Yeah.
Shall we?
Yes.
Okay.
1, 2, 3, 4...
...5, 50, 60...
Govind.
I'm tired.
I want everyone to be happy today.
I don't want anyone to feel bad or weird.
I'm tired of being called overbearing,...
...blamed for being blunt, I don't know.
I want everyone to be happy. It's our anniversary today.
What happened, Pammi?
I don't want to be a snake, you know!
Why did you make me a snake? Am I a snake?
You're getting emotional for nothing, Pammi.
We'd decided this. It'll be funny.
You'll be snake and I'll be mongoose....
- ....like in our lives. - No.
I don't want to be snake. I think I should change.
No, Pammi, you're no ordinary snake.
You're a female cobra.
Thanks! That makes me feel much better!
Pammi, a female cobra is different.
She can go to any extent for her love.
She can do anything to seek revenge.
You can do anything for me, right?
Yes...
....but I won't do this.
I think I will become a cow.
I'll sit in a corner.
I'll have nothing to do with anyone, minding my own business.
Before you get more hysterical,...
...Vikrant is coming over.
- And I... - Why is he coming?
Well, Nisha asked him to get dragon fruit and kiwi.
Dragon fruit?
Kiwi?
What happened to her?
I don't know...
...and I don't care.
What a family!
Anyway, 1, 2...
Keep sitting.
Come.
- Did you get kiwi? - Yes.
Listen, your mom is in a bad mood.
- I didn't say anything. - Grandpa, let's practice.
- Yes, child. - Handle it.
Vicky!
- Hi, mom! - I missed you so...
Oh my god!
Missed you too mom...
Do one thing,...
...your sister is here. I know you haven't met for a long time. You haven't talked.
You may talk if you like. No problem.
I don't want to control you. Only if you want it, okay?
- Okay. - Will you have falafel?
Special falafel, the way you like.
Yes.
Mom, wait a minute. I got you kiwi.
And dragon fruit.
My son, I love you so much.
Nisha, make the special falafel for Vicky....
...like I said.
Okay, mom. All right. Mom, you're okay, right?
- Of course I'm okay. - Okay.
- I don't look okay? - No, you look great, mom.
Why won't I be fine? Right?
- Absolutely, mom. - Have a nice discussion, okay?
- I'll check in the kitchen. - Okay, mom.
Falafel.
Okay, tell me exactly what happened.
- Mrs. Sugar Pots is back. - Oh no.
Yeah, she was being extra sweet since morning.
24 thank you....
...and she said owl is apt for me...
....because I'm intuitive and intelligent.
- What, really ? - Yeah.
- Yes. - The day's ruined. You wait.
Vikrant, she also called me a doll this morning.
Noooo!! Vikrant!
Thanks.
Mom!
Mom?
Mom, why are you working so much?
You've taken all the responsibility?
What's the matter?
Nothing at all.
Don't teach me.
I mean to say...
...why are you so concerned about me?
- I'm fine. Are you? - Yes.
Is Akansha fine? Where is she?
Mom, what's wrong?
Is there a problem?
Problem?
I am the problem, right?
Akansha feels I'm judging her as a mother.
Nidhi feels I'm controlling her.
And you think I'm overbearing.
Right? That's it.
I don't want to do that now.
What's wrong, mom? Suddenly so much...
It's not sudden. It's just that I'm talking about it today.
Now excuse me.
I've to work.
Hey! Hi.
Hello.
Thank you.
- Why are you laughing? - Looking nice.
What's that?
- I'm a dalmatian. - Hi, mom.
Nidhi, you look so lovely!
What are you?
You look fabulous in everything.
And you too! My god, look at you. Both my kids...
Both my kids are looking so lovely.
- Thank you. - For you.
- I know that... - I'll get food.
You're looking so good.
But you're not going to win, guys.
I don't want to ruffle your feathers.
Oh what a joke!
- You take this owl thing very seriously. - Where's dad?
He's in the bedroom with Zia.
Who are you? Cow.
- No! - The cow from DDLJ!
Oh no! It's a dalmatian.
- Excuse me. - Okay.
You're like a cute puppy.
What's up, bro?
She's gotten intense about this whole thing.
Listen, mom's not in a good mood.
- Be careful. Don't say anything weird. - Yeah.
Okay, I'll take Nidhi.
Okay, I'll take mom.
- Meme. - Right.
I didn't ask.
Akansha,...
...did you see that?
Apparently it's a very funny meme.
Sometimes I think that I was always...
- ...for my snake.. - Bankrupt!
It's crazy not bankrupt!.
Bankrupt means something else.
You're looking so nice!
Thank you. For you.
- What were you doing? - We were....
- You want to help? - Yes.
- So now... - I don't want to do it with aunt.
I want to do it alone.
Kids!
Aunt is taking everything seriously.
She's got too competitive, that too with Zia!
If Zia looses, please placate her.
Okay? Because I can't placate Nidhi.
Mom!
It's okay. Don't think about it much.
Mom, since when do you get upset with what we say?
When your own kids think that...
Okay, mom.
Listen.
The problem with our family is that...
...unless we fight each day, the day doesn't end.
If there's a problem, tell me.
Mom, nobody can have a problem with you.
Yes, sometimes you can be a little overbearing....
....but only sometimes. But, mom...
...everyone knows, if anyone faces a problem,...
...first person there has always been you.
- Mom, you're the glue. Without you... - Enough!
Enough of buttering me up!
I'm not used to hearing praises from you guys.
Okay, good.
There! That's more like it.
You know, mom,...
...you're in such a mood today,...
...you should tell everyone....
...especially to Akansha.
Even Nidhi. And don't spare Dhruv.
Just say it.
Good we found you a bride.
Otherwise you would've never found one!
Wow!
My mother is back.
Anymore insults, mom?
Well, pairs of swans...
...penguins, doves, crabs...
People often associate them with love.
But Pammi's and my love was always different.
Grandpa, why mongoose and snake?
Because until your grandma and I fight,...
....I don't feel complete.
It's like no matter how late I come from work or Pammi's exhausted,..
...a little bit of bickering is important.
I know you didn't want to be a snake.
After all, who even willingly wants to become one?
But you tolerate my drama.
And you always...
...come with me just for a ride.
You know the fact that...
...we're always after each other, wants...
...me to be a mongoose to my snake!
So sweet!
I know we've grown a bit old,...
...our kids have grown up but that doesn't mean...
...our love has reduced.
Happy anniversary.
- Happy anniversary. - Thank you and...
...on that note...
...I would like everybody to leave us alone.
- Happy anniversary! - Happy anniversary!
One more thing before I forget,...
...there was loads to do today...
...so like always, for this competition...
- ...I forgot to get a trophy. But... - What?
Sorry.
But it's okay. How does it matter?
As long as we are altogether!
Happy anniversary.
So Cute.
(Watch alarm reminder)
- Mongoose? - Forever.
Thank you.
Dad, but Nidhi won right ?
Yes, well done. Looking very nice.
Nidhi won.
- Cheers! - Happy anniversary.
Happy anniversary Pammi.
39 years!
Thanks.
What for?
For not running away.
Cheers.
Thank you.
