I want to make her my

sister-in-law.

What can I say?

Renu will decide about it.

Times have changed...

Girls no longer agree comely

to their parents and marry.

These days unless a boy

and girl meet each other...

I understand.

The girl and boy have

already met...

and I've seen them

looking at each other.

That's why I've come to you.

Raghu Kaka and I have

approved the girl.

If you want to meet the boy,

you can do so.

Bhabi...

I mean the girl suffered

from pneumonia he treated her.

Renu keeps on praising him.

That's it. It's fixed then.

Sorry, mummy. I mean you

must have understood by now.

I do. If they have

agreed, it's good. But...

because you're his brother

I've have to tell you...

I don't have anything to give

to my daughter in marriage.

Why're you worried about it?

What do you think the groom can

give... aspirin or penicillin?

So the alliance is finalized.

Everything is ready.

Get me the horoscope.

We'll finalize the date in a week.

But we can't do anything

for three months.

Three months. Why?

Renu's father expired nine

months ago and so...

Then it's difficult. I won't

be able to attend the marriage.

Why?

Are you going somewhere?

Yes, I'll be leaving after

one and a half months.

Where are you going?

- Far away.

Can't you come back

a stranger...

and you're my son.

I hope God gives

you a long life.

Hey, you disrupted our

queue and went away.

Couldn't help it.

lt was an emergency.

We'll have to teach him a

lesson along with the tall one.

We'll cripple the girl.

Neither will she go out...

nor will anyone come here.

Did you understand?

- You seem to be sensible.

Hope you won't take the

trouble of coming back.

What are you saying? I'll have to.

There are strong vibrations.

So shall we be meeting again?

- Not only meeting but beating too.

What did he mean?

That means kicking.

- He's threatening us.

What's the problem?

Hello

- Hello.

What do you want?

- Dust. I want a little dust.

This is a wrestlers' arena;

you don't get dust here.

I want the dust of your feet.

You're the epitome of strength.

I want to be at your feet.

If you want to build your

body, discard your clothes.

You'll have to pay me my fees.

No, papaji, I don't want

to train under you...

I saw your strength and asked

for the dust of your feet.

Look at me; I'm so useless.

Neither can I save myself

nor my family.

What happened?

Who's troubling you?

There are a few men down

the street...

who trouble my sister-in-law

everyday.

I mean, I can't come freely to

my would-be sister-in-law's house.

Jeetu, I'll be back soon.

Come, let's see who's

troubling you. I'll...

Yes, please come.

Papaji, there they are.

Let me go first. When they

come to hit me, you arrive.

Papa, please come soon or

they'll make a pulp out of me.

Are you scared of them?

Go now.

Shall I...

- Yes, go on.

Here he comes again.

Hey mister... whom have you

come to fight with...

With us, or your Juliet?

First let us rehearse...

you'll find it easier later.

Yes, let us.

Papaji!

You swine!

You tease his sister.

Go, run...

Wait. What's this called?

- A drain pipe pant.

What does it mean?

- lt means a dirty drain.

Next time I see you wearing it,

I'll throw you in the dirty drain.

Papaji, you're great.

You are truly like Bhaimsain.

- God bless you Ghatodkach.

God, let Anand get well.

I beg of you.

Suman.

- What happened?

You're sitting here talking

to God and I'm looking for you.

Have these sweets.

- Sweets, what for?

Come here, sit down.

My Babumushai has been cured.

What happened to him?

- A dreadful disease.

Be thankful, I noticed the symptoms

and searched for the medicine.

But before I could find it, the

medicine found the patient.

I'm confused.

Who found whom?

Renu found Babumushai.

- Who Renu?

Babumushai's medicine.

You don't know, Suman.

Babumushai treated Renu...

and in the bargain fell

sick in Love.

How do you know?

- I got it from the horse's mouth.

You know him well and

yet you don't

I found out about it. You're

not bothered about anyone.

Don't pray for yourself.

Pray for others too.

But today I asked God

something especially for me.

What? What did you ask for?

Oh I know. Shall I buy toys?

I'm his uncle. What will

my nephew say?

What did you pray for?

My nephew or a niece?

Don't feel shy. Tell me

what did you ask for?

I prayed for my brother's life.

That rascal told you everything.

Look at me. You are my sister,

yet you're weeping.

You're so weak.

You pray to God everyday...

ls this the strength

that He has given you.

Are you weeping in the

fear that I'll leave you.

I'm alive today, aren't you

happy? Can't you smile?

Renu, come in.

Please be seated.

Where did you learn that?

From a body builder friend.

He's very strong.

Hey, Babumushai.

- I've come to meet you.

Me?

- Yes. Not your friend.

Speak softly or he'll be

green with envy.

Talk of the devil

and he appears.

When did you come?

No Babumushai, go back.

Wrong number.

She's come to meet me.

Tell him.

Yes, I've come to meet you.

Correct. He's jealous.

Muralilal. You talk to her.

I'll go meet Murarilal.

Who's this Murarilal

- Watch.

Hey, Murarilal how come

you're here?

What's this beard for

like king Shahjahan.

Didn't you recognize me?

We had beer at Qutub

Minar and we were drunk?
