I can help you with

the presentation...

No, thank you.

You can walk from here.

Krish!

Yes, sir?

You're Ananya's friend... You

tutor my son... Thanks a lot.

But you can't marry Ananya.

But sir...

No! We are simple people.

Don't tarnish our

name in the community.

- Sir, just-

- Please.

We'll keep trying for a few weeks,

but if your parents don't agree...

Then what, Krish?

We'll try something else.

Your company's promotional

event is this week, right?

S.P. Balasubramaniam and

Shankar Mahadevan are performing.

They couldn't find

a third singer.

Can we come?

Of course!

I got passes for you all.

Great! I'm sure

mom will be happy...

ls he that fellow

everyone is talking about?

Shut up! I'll tell you later...

He's Manj u's teacher.

[Man] u!

Manj u! Teacher!

Listen...

Something special

going on today?

That's Harish

from San Fransisco.

Harish who?

Ananya and his

stars have matched...

And special food

for special guest.

I m very comfortable.

You start. I'll be back.

Congratulations!

Your groom is waiting

for you with his goggles.

- Krish, I'm sorry...

- That's great.

Do what you like

and then apologise.

Next time it'll be a wedding

card with an apology. Right?

Listen! This is only for Shobha Aunty!

Then why are you

wearing such a nice sari?

Thanks.

It's mom's.

Krish, I love you.

Breathe.

Let's run away.

Can't run in this sari.

She studied at llM Ahmedabad...

and now she's working

in sales at Sunsilk.

He asked if I'm a virgin!

Virgin?!

I said only till I turned 18!

The way he ran...

Good! Otherwise I would

have to beat him up.

Your folks hate me...

and now you're leaving.

- What am I going to do?

- Help dad with his presentation!

You'll become friends.

I offered.

- He threw me out of the car.

- This time he won't.

I'm leaving and

Manju can't do it.

Who else will help him?

Sir!

Ananya was saying...

your presentation isn't ready...

I can help you, if you like...

Why are you being so helpful?

No... ifsjust... Work is

a little light these days...

So, I'm free in the evenings...

And I don't know anyone here,

besides you'll.

I miss my family...

Krish.

If you're free tomorrow

evening... come home.

Thank you, Uncle! I mean...

Okay, sir.

I can't help you.

But, Master, if I practice...

Krish Malhotra.

I know it's meaningless

to talk to you...

But I thought I'd

try one last time.

One day when your

children disrespect you...

You'll understand what I went

through for all these years

I heard you were at my

house till pretty late last night...

Manju in the morning,

Daddy in the evening...

You should just hire me...

I'll buy the groceries also!

Come soon...

I heard your mother and

her useless sisters talking...

why you went to Chennai...

It's better if

we find you a girl...

Sir, you already have

two established singers...

I think you should

have one new singer.

Have you heard her sing?

Yes, sir.

She's very good!

No...

I can't do it.

I've never sung such songs!

Aunty, you'll be prepared

if you watch the songs on TV!

But... why me?

It's a YES Bank event...

They need a new singer.

And who's better than you?

Sometimes we make

impulsive decisions...

that fill our

whole lives with regret.

This girl may be the

biggest mistake of your life.

U nfonunately, your father.

Done, sir.

Oh... Good.

So, sir... all set for

your first presentation?

I had to prepare the report...

Verma will present it.

Why, sir?

Will you have another drink?

Radha's not home today.

No, sir, I should leave.

Won't be able to get rickshaws later.

Oh just relax. Relax.

Sleep here.

No, Sir. I'll leave...

Relax. One minute...

One minute.

Wear this to sleep in.

Very comfortable.

No, sir...

Thank you, sir.

What are you future plans?

Manager at YES Bank?

Actually, sir...

I want to be a writer.

Very good!

Working for yourself...

Very good!

Otherwise...

you'll be preparing all your

life for others' presentations...

Very good...

You've really got me in a fix!

Aunty, don't worry!

You're going to be a star.

- Just practice.

- No... I can't do it!

Aunty, you'll be very good!

I promise.

Just don't tell anyone.

- Hi, Krish.

- Hello, Uncle.

Hi.

Sorry, Krish.

Mom couldn't come.

She needed to urgently

go to her friend's house.

- Very sorry.

- It's okay.

Uncle, can I get you a drink?

I don't drink!

"The waves of music are rising"

"Desire is lingering in my mind"

"My heart yearns

to see you my dear!"

I was mesmerised by your words"

"l hesitated to come close to you"

"l longed for you to

come near and embrace me!"

"You made a place in my heart"

"You stole my mind."

"You gave me boundless joy,

oh my life!"

"Oh my dear, what have you done?"

"Oh my love, what have you done?"

"Don't you know I've

been waiting for you?"

"Don't love me so..."

"Don't love me so..."

"Oh, howl love you"

I was mesmerised by your words"

"l hesitated to come close to you"

"l longed for you to

come near and embrace me!"

"My heart yearns to

hear it time and again!"

"Say it's love..."

"Say it's love..."

"Yes, I love you!"

"Oh yes, I love you!"

And then Verma said...

"How did you do it?!" And I said,

"What? I know PowerPoint!"

- Aunty, any singing offers?

- No, no!

But I'm going to start

Contemporary singing classes now...

Uncle...

Aunty... Manj u.

I have something to say.

I came to Chennai

6 months ago...

But I've been in love

with Ananya for 3 years.

And she loves me too...

I think.

We thought love is

enough to get married...

so we introduced you all

at the convocation.

But that's when we realized...

the journey from

love to marriage...

isn't easy.

We could have easily eloped...

But Ananya wanted

you all at her wedding...

And happy-

Happier than her!

I know...

I'm no Harish.

But please, don't hate me.

For our happiness...

accept me.

Please.

I, Krish Malhotra...

hereby ask you all to marry me.

Nice.

Will you keep

my daughter happy?

Very happy-

Our cultures and backgrounds

are very different.

Horn!

Will your parents

accept my daughter?

I'll try my best.

I promise.

Krish is coming

at the perfect time!

All those pretty girls

at Minty's wedding...

he'll forget the Madrasan!

Basically, I just have to agree

with everything your mom says.

Yes! Plus it's

a good time to visit.

My cousin Minty

is getting married.

Minty!

You just need to win

over Mom and her family.

Dad won't agree...

but he's a lost cause.

Ls the flight on time?

I'm glad this Chennai

nonsense is over.

Few days being fed at home...

and everything will be okay!

Focus, Ananya.

There's nothing scarier than

a Punjabi mother-in-law.

Can't wait.

Sorry...

for leaving... suddenly...

Have you gained some

weight in last four years?

Sorry!

I still don't have any friends.

Anyway... -

This is my new problem.

10 publishers have

rejected it already.

I'm meeting the

11th tomorrow...

to be rejected again.

Maybe it was a stupid

mistake to leave the bank...
