it's my only daughter's wedding.

- Here you go.

- There was no need for this.

- We're not greedy for money.

- Mr. Tiwari.

- There's something I would like to say..

- Hello!

Look... we're in an urgent meeting.

Please come back later.

- I can clearly see what's so urgent..

- Madam.

Please spare us the speech

on 'women empowerment'.

We know what's wrong and right.

- Out!

- Shut up! And don't interfere.

I don't want to talk to you.

I didn't come here to stop you.

I only came here to

invite you for dinner.

And anyway, I already gave up on trying

to reform this country long ago.

You see... all your guests

are loitering around.

So I request you to continue

your business deal in the room.

Yeah!

See... that's all I wanted to say.

Do you like pudding?

- No.

- Do try, it's really delicious.

I guarantee you will love it.

Goodbye.

Come.

She looks like a bachelor.

I am only taking a picture.

I will find her a groom.

You just watch.

Fine, go.

Attention friends...

No, Mr. Prakash will tell us

about his experience...

He has nothing to say, allow me...

just a second.

Hello.

My name's Badri.

Prakash's best friend!

First and foremost, we're grateful for

the hospitality, you have shown us.

The pudding was simply

delicious today...

so I figured we must

show them a thing or two.

Hit it.

Come.

Uncle, this cylinder...

Yeah, I have a bit of...

What do you call your company?

'Weddings-in-a-snap.com'

It's a unique name.

Our work is unique too.

I saw both your daughters

at Prakash's wedding.

Beautiful.

If you could give me their

bio-data and birth-chart...

I will find suitable

grooms for them immediately.

- Both of them?

- Of course, aunt.

I know some great

boys from good families.

By the way, I am a bachelor too.

You're doing a great job, son.

We're already under a lot

of pressure to get them married.

Have faith in God, aunt.

Both of them will get

married on the same day.

I assure you.

Please have this.

You're quite the sly guy.

Both the sisters have

some amazing features.

Why did you climb on the bed? Get off.

I am so happy-

By the way, whom are you focusing on?

I was thinking about the younger one,

but she's a rebel.

I want peace.

So you can keep the younger one.

Thank you very much, sir.

The elder one is Kritika

and the younger one is Vaidehi.

Surname Trivedi.

Show me.

Vaidehi Trivedi.

What a nice name.

Badri... are you in love?

You must be crazy.

My time to fall in love is over.

If father fixes my marriage

with someone else...

then I'll have to spend the rest

of my life looking at her picture.

And who needs two love-lost

Romeos in one house?

My brother is enough.

I am looking to get married.

Now do one thing...

take this bio-data to my father.

Have you lost your mind?

I am not going to stick

my head into the lion's den.

Then who will?

Speak up.

Mr. Romeo...

Excellent idea!

How are you, brother?

This is the first time

you've ever checked in on me.

- Must be something very important.

- No...

I thought I'd have

a drink with you today.

- Soda or water?

- Neat.

Neat?

L see...

- By the way, she was really beautiful.

- Who?

The same girl you were

dancing with at the function.

Her name is Vaidehi Trivedi.

You're in a hurry.

Brother, do you miss Sakshi?

Are you trying to fix

your marriage or destroy mine.

I seriously want to know,

I'm not joking.

Tell me.

I used to for a couple

of months in the beginning.

But Urmila's an amazing girl too.

Yes...

Brother, please speak

to father about my marriage.

- I can't talk to him.

- Just say it...

He'll get another heart-attack...

and maybe this time

he won't make it.

We will all be free from him.

- Did you talk to Vaidehi?

- What do I talk to her about?

Does she want to marry you?

That doesn't matter.

Her parents do.

And they are under a lot of pressure.

And anyway, they won't

find anyone better than me in UP.

Look, take my advice.

Talk to her once.

Vaidehi didn't look like

the obedient type to me.

And we'll involve father

at the final stage.

- Badri, slow down.

- There's no time to slow down.

I've must get to Kota...

and you don't drink too much.

Vaidehi, you tell us.

'Claustrophobia.'

Anxiety caused by being

confined in a closed space.

Didn't she recognize me?

How could she when you're

wearing those glasses?

How can she not recognize me?

We danced together,

don't you remember?

Who was dancing with you?

I was just dancing.

Just dancing!

By the way,

do you teach English here?

I am a student, not a teacher.

That's nice... everyone

should learn English.

If the mother knows English...

the children

automatically learn English.

By the way, I own a really

big car showroom in Jhansi.

That car Somdev's driving

is from our showroom.

My brother looks after it.

My father... My father is a

well-known money-lender.

Brother lends money on interest...

and I recover it.

Our family is very respected

in Jhansi, you can ask anyone.

Why are you telling me all this?

- You must know.

- Why?

Why? If anyone asks

what does your husband do...

what are you going to say?

- Husband?

- Why are you laughing?

- Have you lost your mind?

- What is so funny?

Whoever told you that

I am looking for a husband?

No one has to tell me... it's obvious.

If you don't get married now,

what else will you do?

Don't be shy, tell me?

You can drop this

stupid idea for good.

I am not interested in marrying you.

Let's go.

'It's hard to believe

that she's annoyed by me.'

'l am sure there's

a different reason for it.'

'The reason behind Vaidehi's annoyance

was her father Mr. Trivedi...'

'...and the reason behind Mr.

Trivedi's weak heart...'

'...was his younger

daughter's love story.'

'Vaidehi and Sagar met

in college and fell in love.'

'They had all the intentions

of getting married...'

'...but also hoped to start

a saloon business together.'

The place is really nice

but the rate's too high.

Oh, sir... it's a road-facing shop.

The owner wants 2 million in cash

and 1.5 million in cheque...

he won't budge from his demands.

I can borrow 1.5 million...

but I only have

600,000-700,000 in cash.

'Asking a middle-class

Father for his provident fund...'

'...is as good as

asking for his kidney.'

It took me 25 years

to save 2.5 million.

I've to think about your marriage.

Start thinking about

getting married...

and forget these stupid

dreams of starting a business.

There's no way you can

get us both married in 25.

We hope to profit around

600,000 per year from the saloon!

You don't have to worry

about my marriage, father.

Sagar's parents are

not hungry for dowry.

We get married in court.

Think about the future.

If the business does well...

you can expect a life of leisure.

Otherwise, you'll still

be sitting in patched up clothes.

'Well... everyone likes

to lead a life of comfort.'

'Mr. Trivedi did regret

dipping into his savings...'

'...but he swallowed his
