- Listen to what?!

Sometimes he wants to be a writer,

sometimes he's in love!

He's a kid!

He needs our support.

I will not support this rubbish!

He's wasting his time

and my money!

You could have heard him out!

Like you can do

anything but drink!

Then why don't you just leave!

Marrying you was the

biggest mistake of my life.

It was your mistake...

and it's my life that's ruined.

Get out of here.

Krish, please go.

I said get out of here!

Can't you hear what-

You're so fair!

How can you be a Madrasan?

Tarn I I ian.

Same thing! Oh, Kavita!

Your daughter-in-law?

I must say she's quite fair

by South Indian standards!

Rajji, come meet

our Krish's lover!

Anyay!

Anyay? Like... illegal?!

"This Punjabi

boy from Jalandhar"

"Maidens falling

for every glance"

"Chilling in the fields"

"Living life King size"

"It's my way or the highway"

"Who does it make

a difference to?"

"What, why? Who is who? Only

to whiskey friends are true!"

"And some chicken with

it only makes things better!"

"Where the pretty girls are"

"That's where you'll

find the Jatt boys"

"Even better if the

girls are up for it too"

"Punjabi girl,

not so easily charmed"

"She'll make you dance

on her every tune!"

"Boys fall by the dozen"

"for every sway

of their hips!"

"Dinky on the left"

"Pinky on the right"

"Like a fashion parade

of pretty girls!"

"What, why? Who is who? Only

to whiskey friends are true!"

"And some chicken with

it only makes things better!"

"Where the pretty girls are"

"That's where you'll

find the Jatt boys"

"Even better if the

girls are up for it too"

"Don't boast your

broken Punjabi to me"

"Tell me how much your

promises really mean?"

"Tell me how much your

promises really mean?"

"The word of a Jatt

boy is legally binding"

"He'll sign his

life over to you!"

"Chilling in the fields"

"Living life King size"

"It's my way or the highway"

"Who does it make

a difference to?"

"What, why? Who is who? Only

to whiskey friends are true!"

"And some chicken with

it only makes things better!"

"Where the pretty girls are"

"That's where you'll

find the Jatt boys"

"Even better if the

girls are up for it too"

Why is that chubby

uncle so angry?

He must be hungry.

Everyone's really serious!

Somethings up. Let's find out.

Horn!

What's happening?

It's too small.

Duke's tunic?

It's not funny!

The car Rajji gave

Duke is too small.

Oh! And their family

won't fit in it.

No! They saw the key

and thought it was a big car!

Oh! They were confused

by the big key!

I don't believe this!

Now?

They want a big

car or no wedding.

But Aunty, a gift is a gift.

Not gift... Dowry.

Anyway, what's the solution?

Well, Rajji doesn't

have the money.

So, we've decided to give them

our jewelry as a guarantee.

You wait, I'll be back.

Dowry.

Really?

Ananya...

Ananya!

Excuse me?

May I say something?

What?

Before you give away your

jewelry, can I talk to Duke?

No, no. You don't

get involved in this.

Please, let me try.

I promise there'll

be no problem.

Duke...

Hi.

Hi!

What's your salary?

What?!

- How much do you earn per month?

- What?!

25 thousand.

Who are you?

Doesn't matter.

I earn 50.

Can you tell me why you

deserve such grand wedding?

And you're getting

a car for dowry!

I'm the boy!

Really? So?

So!

So...

Look at Minty carefully.

You think you had a shot with

her without an arranged marriage?

- This is the limit!

- Oh no, I'm not done.

Do you know what they've

been through for this wedding?

They' re in debt.

And this car?

It costs as much as 15

years of your holiday bonuses!

And the car you want, you won't be

able to afford even after retirement.

If you twist their arm,

they'll give you the bigger car...

but don't you

have any self-respect?!

Look, you can get the big car.

Now you decide; do you want

to get married honourably...

or let go of a girl

like Minty because of a car?

Ananya... let it go.

Two minutes, Uncle.

You have two minutes to decide.

- I want to go to my Mummy.

- Why?

Why are you so dominating?!

Please, let me to go

to my Mummy.

Okay. We'll all go.

Come on then!

Mummy! I like this car.

But, the deal was for big car!

Can't I buy a

big car on my own?

Don't I have any self-respect?

Stop this silly fighting.

What's the decision?

Sorry, madam. Done.

Okay? I want to get married!

So Duke's parents

relented and...

Ananya became a

hero to my family.

Thank you.

Here.

Rajji and Shipra loved her.

So... yes?

Yes...

- But what about her folks?

- They've agreed.

Look, Ananya.

Both families need to

have an understanding.

You remember the convocation?

Your mom's right.

Meaning?

I mean our parents have agreed,

but they still don't like each other.

So what? It's not like

they're getting married.

If we've decided to make

them happy, let's do it right?

They have to meet again.

No, now enough, okay?

I can't play this game forever.

What more can I do?

Get Mom to Chennai?

No!

Let's go on vacation?

All of us!

That way they'll

get to know each other.

Please?

In this world, what's the most

important reason to get married?

Love!

In India, however,

there are a few more steps...

The girl's family

has to love the boy.

The boy's family

has to love the girl.

The boy's family has

to love the girl's family...

and the girl's family

has to love the boy's family.

After all this...

if the boy and girl still love

each other, then they get married.

What's bugging them? Look how

they're standing there looking surly.

Nothing like that!

What do you know of

the politics of marriage?

Thank you.

By the way, Krish... This

hotel must be very expensive.

Yes, but I've promised to hold

the next YES Bank conference here.

So, they've given

me a discount.

Come now, smile, please?

Smile.

Namaste, Kavita.

- Namaste.

- Hello, Aunty.

Hello.

Oh! This is for you.

Silk sari.

Tussar silk.

Specially for you

from Assam Emporium.

Thank you.

Our silk saris

are also very famous.

- Of course!

- Kanjeevaram saris.

Your husband couldn't come?

He's not keeping well.

The doctors have asked

him not to travel by air.

Isn't there a train from Delhi?

We don't travel by train.

Their toilets

are awfully small.

Shall we go, mom?

You know we Punjabis

are really large-hearted.

We never greet our

in-laws empty handed.

Especially, the boy's mother!

It's considered bad luck...

Shall we go sightseeing tomorrow?

Coffee Shop at 11 am?

Sightseeing! With her?

- Mom.

- No.

Dad, please!

Done! Sightseeing!

Oh, the hotel has upgraded us.

Please, take the bigger room.

There are more of you.

What about us!

- Let's go.

- No, no Aunty!

How shameless!

Who?! Him?

No. Them.

Who makes the groom

pick up luggage?!

- I'm not the "groom".

- What then, the bride?!

Don't talk rubbish!

What was the need to

give them the big room?
