'Mrs. Shastri!'
- Yes! - 'No!'
Please don't go in this elevator!
It will take you above.
It is enough now.
You have already announced
my death four times in ten days.
Please stop reading
my face and predict about me.
I am not predicting.
The elevator is faulty.
It is not going down.
It will only take you above.
I wanted to go down
but I am returning from the 18th floor.
Who is she?
You will not like it if I predict.
Forget it. It is time consuming.
I'll ask her.
Listen. What are you doing at Sameer and Naina's house?
Wait.
I was doing my job.
Tell me.
Listen!
Do you work at Sameer and Naina's house?
For how long do you work? What do you do?
Wait a moment, please.
Ma'am, why do you care?
You mind your own business. Please!
Yes.
This is the problem with the ladies of reputable societies.
They don't have any work to do, but to
gossip about everyone
else the entire day.
Yes.
That's why they die
of cardiac arrest every so often. Yes.
Do you know the lady who lives on
the Valencia's 26th floor?
She died!
Cardiac arrest.
Oh, my God!
I know!
Naina has hired such a mannerless maid
and Sameer didn't tell me about her.
I knew you will be insulted.
- Oh, my God! - Why did you not inform me?
You asked me to stop predicting the future, right?
Oh, Kulkarni!
Don't talk to me about that mission in Burma.
I stayed there like a girl for six months.
What do you mean it was not difficult?
I was never scared of the enemy's torture.
Do you know what I was scared of?
I was scared of waxing.
'Yes! I will surely give you a treat when we meet.'
Oh, okay.
Are you going to get an award?
Kulkarni called you, right?
Who is he?
I read your face.
Today all my predictions
have been correct!
Today I read the face of Mrs. Shastri
and predicted that
she is going to be insulted.
- And guess what! - Don't tell me she got insulted.
She did.
Did my mother in law get insulted?
Who dared to do that?
Your maid.
- What! - Yes. - What!
My mother got insulted. Why are you over-reacting?
That's fine.
Did you hire a maid?
I was here to tell you that.
Actually, I have a tournament coming up, right?
I need someone to take care of the chores.
Why do you need a maid for that?
Why don't you ask your husband to work who is
always seated on that bean-bag?
Dad.
He is a reputed game developer.
We can pay the house EMI because he earns.
You didn't do the background check of your husband
while introducing him to us but
what about your maid?
Don't worry, dad. I hired her through an agency.
I know all about these agencies.
I worked as a maid for six months in Burma.
That's confidential.
I don't trust these maids at all.
I'll look into it personally.
- Manjari! - Yes?
Just give me my black sunglasses.
I can't tell you how
much I got insulted today.
You would have known
if you were present there.
I'm not so fortunate to
witness you getting insulted.
Misfortune.
In fact, I am unfortunate.
As soon as our son got married,
my beloved child has started taking
bold decisions all by himself.
He hired a maid without consulting me.
He should not have made such a bold decision.
His wife must have influenced him.
It's not just his wife who is doing that.
What is it? Why did you call me urgently, mom?
I got insulted, okay?
What are you up to, dad?
No! It contains Tulsidas' food.
Here, take that.
Son, did you hire a maid?
Yes. I was about to tell you.
We have found a great maid.
Forget about the maid,
tell me who
dared to insult you?
The same maid!
Fire her right away!
Did Kamla do that?
But why?
She is really nice and perfect at her job.
- Is that so? - Yes.
The person who only knows to
prepare instant noodles will
teach us how a perfect maid should be.
No. Even Naina said that she is a great maid.
Okay.
So a person who doesn't even know how to prepare
instant noodles will teach us how a perfect maid should be.
I'm making mashed bitter-gourd. Would you like to have it?
Fire her right away.
I will find a nicer maid for you.
Mom, it is simple to find
a nice wife in Mumbai.
It is extremely tough to find a nice maid!
You couldn't do either one!
Forget about all that.
Just tell me, how much are you paying her?
15,000.
I'm asking about the maid's salary, not your own.
I told you my maid's salary.
What!
Hey!
Even a maid gets paid Rs. 15,000 in Mumbai.
Did you see that?
Even a maid earns Rs. 15,000 and here we have you
who keeps sitting at home the entire day.
I get Rs. 60,000 as pension.
You get that for your earlier job, right?
Now you are sitting at home the entire day.
Are you trying to say that
- I can't earn Rs. 15,000? - You can't.
You are challenging Dr. Giriraj Shastri!
- Yes. - Ouch!
If you both are done, I am leaving.
Hey!
What is it?
Keep it here.
Oh, man.
- 'Naina.' - Yes?
You need to explain to Kamla.
She takes care of my stuff so much
that I don't find them.
She keeps your stuff in it's place.
You are too lazy about trying to find them.
Mend your ways.
Ma'am!
What happened, Kamla?
Why are you so late?
Oh, ma'am!
I was thinking I should not come here.
I thought I should head to the police station directly.
To the police station? Why?
Sir.
A man is stalking me.
As soon as I left after work,
he stalked me till my home.
When I left home, he was waiting outside.
So I boarded a taxi to get rid of him.
When I returned,
he was standing at the gate of the building.
Oh my, God! Sambo.
- This is sounding serious, okay? - Yes.
We should head to the police station.
We should. I mean get ready, board a taxi and...
No need.
- What! - I mean
no need to go till there.
I can complain online, right?
- Oh, okay. - Yes.
- Thank you, sir. - No need to thank me.
Just give me a cup of tea with fritters.
Fine, sir!
Where is she?
Where is the one who
dared to insult my beloved wife?
What happened, dad? Why are you so supportive of mom today?
In fact, I am extremely happy.
She did what I couldn't do
in my life. I just want to see a glimpse of her.
Where is she?
Mother, actually Kamla didn't know
that you are Sameer's mom.
I apologize on her behalf.
Why would you apologize?
You didn't insult me.
First insult her,
after that you can apologize.
Please sit.
- I'll bring hot tea for you. - Yes!
What is the use of hiring a maid
when you will prepare the tea?
Kamla is preparing tea.
Kamla, go.
Wow! The tea is here.
Ma'am, sorry.
Sir told me that you are his mom.
Please have some tea.
Wow!
I've had such a great
cup of tea after a long time.
Drink it. It's great.
I don't drink tea made by a maid.
So tell us,
what work do you do for Rs. 15,000?
I clean the house.
Washing utensils and preparing the food.
Is that it? Who washes the clothes?
The machine does it.
How many hours do you work?
One hour in the morning and an hour in the evening.
Just two hours?
- Yes. - Actually she has a lot of work
but Kamla finishes it all in no time.
I'm telling you. She is perfect.
Sameer said the same about you too.
You said that your maid is absolutely perfect.
Such a dirty box.
Is this how you wash it?
It is ours.
You washed it last night. I brought eggplant. You remember?
No problem. I will wash it nicely.
No need.
I know to wash utensils.
I am leaving.
Are you coming or will you sleep here?
Let us go.
- Dad. - Yes?
- Mug. - Mug?
Okay.
Oh! I scalded my mouth!
Your mom is having a bad time.
First she got directly insulted
and now indirectly.
Don't poke fun at her.
What if your dad was insulted?
Why would he be insulted?
He never does anything that would get him insulted.
Naina.
- 'Hi, dad!' - Hi!
We were talking about you now. Where have you been?
You weren't around since a couple of days.
I was on an important mission.
Really? What was your mission?
Well, actually...
He is that man! The goon!
Perverted old man!
He's the one who was stalking me.
Now he has come here.
Kamla, what are you saying?
She is saying
that he is that goon
perverted old man!
He has been stalking her since two days.
- Kamla. - Yes? - He is my dad.
- What! - Yes.
Listen to me.
I was not stalking you.
I was just checking on her background.
Okay. Background.
Kamla, you may go home.
- But, ma'am! - Kamla.
I asked you to go home. I will call you.
Dad! What are you up to?
Do you know she was so terrified
she was about to file a police complaint against you?
She is mistaken.
If you follow any random girl
what will she think about you?
She will assume that he is a goon, and
a perverted old man
who stalks people.
At least eat the eggplant.
It's still in the box! I...
What is the matter, sir? Why are you so tense?
Nothing much. There was a misunderstanding.
Now, it's okay.
What was it about?
Well, actually...
I was
doing a background check on Kamla
and followed her.
- She assumed that... - That he
is a goon and perverted old man.
Who chases people around.
That is what
Kamla imagined.
Sir
if she had said that about my husband
she would have yanked her tongue out.
I may have believed her for once.
Because he has been up to that kind of foolishness.
But to think a sober man like you...
How could you say this about you?
I told you all already!
The maid is very rude.
Mother, don't get angry.
Stop being so angry. Drink some water.
No way.
Until the maid who insulted my son's father in law
works in this house
I will not even
drink water in this place.
- If you're done drinking the water, can we go? - Yes.
Let's go.
- Dad. - Yes.
The glass.
Dad, do you want some water?
Mrs. Shastri is right.
As long as Kamla works in this house...
...I won't even step into this place.
What is this, Sambo?
Mother won this game all out!
- Now we have to play doubles again.- No.
Now your sports technique won't cut it.
Now my coding will be used
to make them have a change of hearts.
What code should we embed, partner?
The kind which will make them feel guilty.
- Code guilt! - Code guilt!
VK!
My prediction was correct.
You've been accorded respect today, right?
- Yes. - Wow.
Guruji is great!
He told me that I would
predict perfectly!
Thank you, Guruji.
- Manjari. - Yes?
I have a prediction for
your guruji too. Do tell him about it.
Yes, what is it?
The day
I get my hands on him I will break off vital bits of him
and shove them into his face. Believe me.
Naina!
Why did you bring this kit here?
This is not useful for me for some days now.
I thought, I'd keep it here.
But, how can you practice without this?
Who has the time to practice, dad?
I have to do the chores at home and get up early to do that.
First, breakfast, then dishes, then lunch, then dishes.
- Cook dinner, and then dishes. - But
you hired that maid to do that, right?
- We fired her. - Oh!
Very good, excellent. Well done.
But now someone
has to do the house work, right, dad?
- Yes. What about that boy sprawled on the bean bag...- Dad.
Sameer has a deadline for submitting a game.
He is really busy.
I will leave.
I have to put clothes into the washing machine.
My dear, I have a suggestion.
Now don't tell me
that we should bring Kamla back.
I was about to say, don't wash sportswear
in the washing machine. It gets ruined.
Put it in a bucket and
wash and rinse by hand, okay?
Manjari.
Stop giving her washing tips
and think that if
she has to do all the chores
then when can she practice?
I will leave, dad.
I have decided that from now on
I will do all the household chores.
Washing utensils, sweeping, swabbing, all of it.
Are you dreaming?
In return you can
give me Rs. 15,000 a month to me.
No! You are dreaming.
Don't do that.
I know what it takes
to be a good servant. - What?
A scarf.
A slightly bowed back.
Ma'am, can I get you some tea?
Let me get that, ma'am.
Ma'am, master Sameer is here.
Come on in, master Sameer. Do come in.
Sit, please.
Can I get you tea or coffee?
What happened?
No, all the washing of utensils made my hands...
I have a bit of a rash.
- Why are you washing utensils? - Forget it.
I wanted to ask you
while swabbing
what do you use
in the water?
What oil do you use?
Why do you want to know?
From today, I will swab the house.
What?
Don't ask what! Ask why?
Why?
Because we fire Kamla, right?
Now someone has to do all the household chores
you see.
Can I get you a scarf for you too, master?
Please be quiet.
You won't do anything of the sort.
Naina is still alive.
She can do all the chores.
Mom, she goes at 5 am
for match practice.
She has a tournament coming up, you see.
In that case, I know
a good servant for you.
Who?
Dr. Giriraj Shastri, himself.
He will always be at your service, master.
Stop it!
Wash that scarf, please.
It stinks!
Mom.
If you could give me the name of that oil...
It's eucalyptus oil.
Eucalyptus oil.
Sambo, let me tell you this.
We have
hired Kamla without their permission.
That is what is bothering them.
That's all it is.
Just wait and watch my code work it's magic.
They will come to request us
to hire Kamla back.
Then we will tell them.
Since you requested we
will hire her!
You will be very glad to know
that this is Pintu Singh Matiani.
19 years old.
His dad was the soldier, Manju Singh Matiani.
21/36, Keshav colony
Jageshwar road
Haldwani, Uttarakhand, 263134.
But, why would this information please us?
Because
from now on he works for you.
- And you will only practice. - Yes.
I have read his face, he is clear.
Yes.
Come on, don't be shy.
Come on in, quickly.
Say hello to everybody.
Hello.
My sister back in Rae Bareilli
has a Gardner who worked for her for 40 years.
This is his grandson.
He is a very well bred and hardworking boy.
He was working somewhere else.
I got him out and brought him here.
From now on, he will do your chores.
- He is Pappu. - Gappu.
Gappu.
Mrs. Shastri, you are a bit late.
Pintu has already been hired
to do the house chores. Right, Sameer?
No!
This means, Pintu is being forced on you.
I won't allow this.
I trust Pappu implicitly.
Gappu.
Pappu.
Listen, his dad
worked with me for 28 years.
I trust Pintu completely.
Dad, mom. One moment.
Neither Pintu nor Gappu will work in this house.
Who will work here, then, my child?
I will do the work.
I am the new servant of this house.
Dad?
What are you saying?
You tell me what to say, ma'am.
- Dad! - What, dad?
Master?
What is this drama?
This isn't a drama, master Sameer.
You can check my documents.
I have a scarf, too.
Why must you do all this, sir?
Mrs. Shastri, I can't begin to tell you.
A woman has
cast a stone at my fragile self esteem.
I wish to shatter her rock to bits.
I get that you want to crush it.
But what does the rest of the poem mean?
Mr. Shastri, what is this nonsense?
Pintu is the only one who will work here.
Sir, since you like him so much
have him work at your place.
We will only have
Pappu work here.
One moment. You came by train, right?
Yes. - Which means he left day before.
We spoke about firing Kamla yesterday.
Which means, before Kamla
was fired, you decided
you would fit in this one in this house.
Understand the chronology?
When did you board the train from Haldwani, my son?
The day before.
You should understand the chronology, too.
Sameer, you decide which one of them stays here.
Naina, you decide who stays here.
Kamla.
Yes, did you call me?
What is this rude woman doing here?
Didn't you fire her?
No.
And they can't fire me for the next 3 months.
Why not?
Because we contracted her agency and so
if we fire her before 3 months
and that too without a valid reason
we have to give her six months' salary.
Which means, for the next 3 months, I can't
come here to work!
What is wrong with all of you?
Why did you plot so much to fire me?
If you had said it nicely
I would have quit myself.
Please quit this job.
So cute!
But that was just talk, you know, words.
As if I'm going to quit just because you said so.
I have managed to snag
a job with such good folks with great difficulty.
- So sweet! - How sweet.
- Thank you, Kamla. - Yes, we are so
- grateful. - Fortune.
We love you, too.
Come on.
Kamla did it.
- Where did they go? - They went.
Where?
Where do we sleep?
Do one thing.
Go sleep in my bed.
Let's go, Pintu.
Hey!
Will you sleep on my bed? Get lost!
Get out of here.
