I need some help.

I...

I want to kill myself.

Suicide.

Actually, I had come

to you for sleeping pills...

My folks don't believe

in counselling.

Punjabis thinks only crazy

people go to psychiatrists.

You came home pretty

late last night...

ls everything Okay?

My pension papers are held up.

I need a letter typed...

On the laptop...

I'll do it.

Thank you.

Hows your friend?

Which friend?

The one from Chennai...

who was at Minty's wedding.

I don't know.

She's probably fine.

Why don't you know?

Aren't you'll in touch?

Everyone's busy

with their own lives.

I'm going to bed.

If we try... we can...

speak to one another...

Good night.

I'll give you the

printout tomorrow

Where's Dad?

Do me a favour

and shave at least?

I want you to meet a girl.

If the money's good,

just say yes.

Look, Krish. I've never

forced you to do anything.

Don't behave like this with me.

Then how should I behave?

Fine.

I'll just shut up, then.

First my husband, now my son.

I thought at least my in-laws would

respect me once you got married...

but no.

You want me to go and

beg in front of those Madrasis.

Shipra's right.

Everyone is selfish. Everyone.

I've never, ever refused you.

I'm tired of making

up for Dad's faults.

That's why I'm in this state.

What are you trying to say?

For once in life, I needed your help.

And what did you do? You turned away.

Where do I go nov?

I'm a fool.

I disgust myself!

I love Ananya and

I'm still letting her go.

Mom, you talk of community,

religion, Madrasis, Punjabis...

you married a Punjabi,

right? What came of it?

And where were you?

What is it to you?

This family is beyond repair.

Hello?

Hello?

Krish.

Ananya...

Did you mis-dial?

I'm sorry about

the other day...

But you could have told me.

What?

That your dad was

coming to my house.

What do you mean?

He spent the whole

day with Mom and Dad...

He apologized on

behalf of your mother.

My dad... apologized?

Yes.

My parents are so happy!

In fact, they asked if

we had a date in mind.

Ls there?

A date you have in mind?

Krish...

In trying to bring

everyone together...

have we grown apart?

I haven't gone away, Ananya.

I'm right here.

I love you, Krish.

Me too, Ananya.

Do you mean it?

I'm losing my mind...

I can't eat or sleep.

All I think about is you.

Isn't it clear?

I love you.

Good.

Now, it seems convincing.

Hang on.

My dad was at your house?

Didn't you know?

No...

We'll talk in the morning.

Yes...

Good night.

Good night.

Did you go to Chennai?

Thank you.

You knew.

I'm a bad man.

Not a stupid one.

I didn't want to lose

my son in my old age.

They're nice...

Ananya's parents, nice people.

Yes...

I can't come to

your wedding, Krish.

For the first time in years

I've done something right...

I'm afraid...

if I come... I'll ruin it...

You know I can't get along

with your mother's family.

You won't come to my wedding?

Look, Ananya is

coming to our home.

Right?

Then why do you want

to put me through my paces?

That day...

I wanted to hug my father.

But that would've

been melodramatic, right?

Suddenly if everything

falls into place...

life becomes boring.

Okay, tell me what happens

in a Brahmin wedding.

A lot.

Prepare your family

to see a lot of new rituals.

All Punjabis want

to see is alcohol.

Done!

Everything will be fine, right?

Of course.

Ananya, come here.

Come soon.

I miss you.

I miss you, too.

"Hurray!"

"Hurray!"

"The bride and groom

make a gorgeous pair!"

Just pray we don't get

fall sick with all that sambar!

Joke!

"Breaking traditions

and reigning chaos"

"Weaving a love story

on the crossroads of destiny"

"The pongal pot is boiling

My love speaks to you"

"The husband brings

good luck, girl"

"Running with love

Did she catch me?"

"Or was she caught?"

"Here comes the

bride's carriage"

"With the fancy band dancing"

"Symphonising with trumpets!"

Namaste.

Excuse me...

Can we have a word with you?

Of course.

"Hope springs in the air"

"Hurray!"

"Oh, the bride..."

"Hurray!"

What happened?

They asked us what

gifts we wanted!

What did you ask for?

TV? Fridge? Bungalow? Boat!

Do I think I'm crazy?

She didn't ask for anything!

She got emotional unnecessarily!

She said she wished for

one MBA, she'd getting two!

What better gift than that?!

' Really?

Yes! '

You know what your

problem is, Krish?

You have no idea

how much I love you.

Let's g0!

Who on eanh gets married

at 6.30 in the morning?!

Only yoga classes

happen that early!

Boy's father?

J ust a second!

- Coffee?

- Yes, please.

"l can't tear my eyes away"

"As they seek your

acceptance, too"

"The kohl of your eyes

tinges my days"

"While the smell of your

perfume haunts my nights"

"Spellbound, this mind..."

"Speaks only your name"

"Spellbound, this mind..."

"Speaks only your name"

"Would that it could..."

but it can't forget"

"Spellbound, this mind..."

"Speaks only your name"

"Spellbound, this mind..."

"Speaks only your name"

The boy's mother will sit there...

and if the father isn't here,

then any senior member can-

Father is here.

What is he doing here?

He arrived last night.

Namaste!

Please.

I've made a lot of mistakes...

will you hate me all my life?

"Our hearts sing the song

That tells our story"

Why do our parents oppose this?

- It's not about communities...

It's about us finding love

without their consent...

If we fall in love with someone, doesn't

mean we love our parents any less...

Love doesn't need to be divided;

It's all encompassing.

They should be proud that, like them,

now our love is unconditional.

From our first word

to our first cigarette...

they've seen it all.

Now they suddenly

feel betrayed.

That's why they get angry.

Maybe after 25 years,

when we're in their shoes...

maybe then we'll understand.
