There's more of them?

Sure, sure.

Those poor guys mustn't have

ever seen such a grand hotel.

You know what their

biggest mistake was?

They met the boy's

mother empty-handed!

And that Madrasan called

ME uncultured at that conversation.

Why did I have to get carried

away and buy her a silk sari?

Rs. 2,000 down the drain.

How pretty the sea is!

Yes, but Chennai's sea is

cleaner and prettier than this!

Hanging Gardens!

What a nice view!

What?!

People are hanged here?!

It's called Hanging Gardens

because it's on a hill!

Oh... you scared me...

Your mom is so rude!

Your family's not

exactly friendly, either.

What do we do?

I have an idea.

But you can't feel bad.

Depends.

First, you'll need to get my

mother a really nice present.

- Okay...

- Next.

Whenever we're eating out,

insist on paying.

Snatch her purse if you have to!

Punjabis consider this affection.

And?

Third, right now, in the middle

of this beach, you and I should...

Absolutely not! Not until the

wedding. I'm very stressed!

But it's a great stress buster!

Control yourself, Krish!

You know what the worst

part of getting married is?

First, you have to discuss

clothes and jewelry.

Second, all women lose their

tempers at the same time! I mean...

So many demands already...

God knows what will

happen in the future!

This is for you.

Oh, you shouldn't have!

This too.

Please come! Sit!

Have some chicken!

It's delicious!

We're vegetarians...

Oh.

Well... no problem.

Who would have thought...

One day the kids would

be introducing their parents!

It came as a

shock to us, too...

But once we met Krish,

we were okay.

Oh, don't pull my leg!

You must have thanked your stars...

that your daughter found

such a handsome and qualified boy!

Actually, 90 percent of

Tamilians are highly qualified.

All of Ananya's uncles

are engineers in the USA.

I'm sorry but 90% Tamilians

aren't fair-skinned either!

Mom! Mom, let's have dessert

Oh by the way...

Krish's uncles are also

very rich and successful!

Ananya met them at our place!

What a magnificent wedding it was!

My brother gave his son-in-law

a car as a wedding present!

How lucky you are... to have

landed such a wonderful boy!

Luck by chance!

Mom, what are you saying!

We haven't conned

your son into this.

He came to our house everyday,

we couldn't say no.

- Mom...

- It's true!

We're making a big

effort for you, too.

Everyone knows Krish's father

is against this marriage.

We're still here, aren't we?

Well, you're not

doing me any favours.

Millionaire Punjabi girls

are lining up for my Krish.

There's no need to yell.

We are educated people.

- Oh and we're illiterate?!

- Mom...

He said we.

All of us are educated!

Shut up!

You're blind to everything!

Go... live in Chennai

with your in-laws!

Krish. This is not right.

- Let it go, mom.

- You be quiet!

This won't work out.

She won't keep our child happy.

Look at the things she says!

What are they muttering

in their code language?

How would I know'?!

I thought they'd

have taught you by now!

This is not okay,

let us get going.

This is way too much. Come.

- Dad, please...

- That's it! We're leaving!

Aunty we did

whatever Krish asked.

But nothing is enough for you.

Ananya, we'll talk to them...

It's not like that.

Thanks for lunch.

So, you told them to

buy these saris for me.

Yes. What's the point

of doing all this?!

Of course.

It's always my fault!

People are right.

Falling in love changes

the best of men.

That's not true!

Did you see how rude

your dear Ananya was to me?

I know she's a little brazen,

but you were wrong this time, Mom.

You're going to

treat me as a servant?

My life is doomed.

No one is making

you a servant, mom!

Daughters-in-law

can't be so rude!

Just think.

What if Minty speaks

in this way to Duke's mother?!

We rule our daughters-in-law

with iron fists!

Okay.

You can do it too.

How! You always take her side.

I won't!

Once we're married,

you show her who's the boss!

You know how passive

her parents are.

They can't do anything.

Please just handle

the situation for now.

Please?

Fine.

Ananya.

- We were just talking about you-

- I heard.

I wanted to make one

last attempt to fix things.

But not anymore.

Ananya, Ananya!

Just listen to me!

Ananya, please listen to me!

I was trying to pacify Mom!

You're telling me the

same lies you told her!

The problem's not just

your mother. It's you, too.

We're done, Krish.

Are you insane?

For such a minor thing...

Minor thing?! My parents can't

take any more humiliation!

- They've done a lot for me!

- I can fix this, Ananya.

By lying to your mother.

Right?

How many people

will you lie to?

All your lies will

destroy us one day!

Everything will be okay.

We've made a huge mistake...

You know, Krish, it's

not about the communities...

it's about the kind of people

we want to spend our lives with.

Certain things are

just not in our destiny...

Like this.

"Without you... there's

no fire in the sun"

"No song in the songbird"

"if the moon reigns

with such abandon"

"Why is there only

darkness in my grasp?"

"Without you... there's

no spring in the springtime"

"No waking in wakeness"

"Without you, my love,"

"My heart is a deserted island"

These incomy?ete stories...

And these incomwete goodbyes

"Will they remain

incomplete..."

forever?"

These incomy?ete stories...

And these incomwete goodbyes

"if the moon reigns

with such abandon"

"Why is there only

darkness in my grasp?"

I've made fresh,

hot parathas...

Please eat?

So... you've stopped talking

to your mother as well?

What wrong could she have done?

I'm tired, Dad.

Forgive me.

I can't fight anymore.

"Such anger..."

"Let me tell you a secret"

"This body is an empty shell"

"Its spirit...

its soul... is you."

So as I was saying...

She's an optimist,

she has her dreams...

but she's not afraid

to write her own life story.

"Without you, my love,"

"My heart is a deserted island"

Why are you here, Krish?

To say sorry.

It's not your fault.

But I'm the one suffering.

You look terrible...

You know your mom will

never accept my family.

Let's run away?

Isn't it enough that

we love each other?

It's never enough...

Ananya, you're killing me.

You think it's not hard for me?

If it's hard,

then why are you doing this?

So that we both stop

hurting each other.

I love you, Ananya.

Please leave, Krish.

Listen.

Please, stop calling me.

Otherwise...

Otherwise, I'll have

to block your number.

"Without you... there's

no fire in the sun"

"No song in the songbird"

"if the moon reigns

with such abandon"

"Why is there only

darkness in my grasp?"

These incomy?ete stories...

"And incomplete goodbyes"

"Will they remain

incomplete..."

forever?"

These incomy?ete stories...

"And incomplete goodbyes"

"Will they remain

incomplete..."

forever?"

"Without you, my love,"

"The days feel like rivers,

islanded by the nights..."
