You are keeping a fast?

Because there's a shortage

of good men in the country.

What about you...

the leader of all good men?

I am... but I cannot marry everyone.

There's something called chivalry.

Nonsense...

You're miles away from

any kind of chivalry.

Why? Have I ever said

anything vulgar to you?

Have I ever held your hand?

Or ever... pulled you like this.

What's this?

Sorry, I got carried away in emotions.

Control your emotions.

Think about Kritika.

I am out of

my wits thinking about her.

Why don't you look for some NRI?

Excuse me, I am not a traitor.

My own brothers are still bachelors.

You're quite a patriot.

Yes... I am.

- Found it!

- What?

Indian NRI.

A warm welcome to everyone

from Bhushan Patnaik.

We're devout of the Goddess.

You've all come here

seeking her refuge.

And she's a Benevolent Goddess!

One who alleviates all our sufferings.

So let's all Focus on Goddess...

And She will shower her grace on you.

So repeat after me...

- Glory to..

- The Benevolent One!

- Is that your local NRI?

- He's no NRI!

- He's one of my clients... from Jhansi.

- Shut up.

The entire family

is from Jhansi, but...

they spend half the year around the

world arranging religious programs.

I'll go talk to him

about the proposal.

- Shall I?

- Go.

- Promise?

- Yes.

- I'll go.

- Go.

Go on!

- Come on.

- I am not going.

Come on!

Stay back... There is no need

to approach the stage...

The Goddess will bless everyone.

- Bhushan, are you married?

- I'm still a bachelor.

But with the grace of Goddess...

maybe I will find

a life-partner soon.

Because the Goddess has a big heart.

Sing with me,

Glory to the Benevolent One!

Glory to Her!

Bhushan, I need to speak with you.

Let's talk after the program.

We must talk right now.

You see, father takes all

the bookings for the programs.

Well, actually I want

to book you... for marriage.

Marriage?

Bhushan's marriage.

Why isn't anyone saying something?

- She will definitely reject him.

- Hey, Romeo...

Don't jinx this.

I will kill you!

- Why are you so shy?

- No reason... l just...

- Can I say something?

- Of course.

I didn't like you at all at first.

But now I really

like your calm nature.

Can I say something too?

I always knew that the

fruits of devotion are sweet.

But I didn't know it

would be so beautiful as well.

Seems like everything is going well.

Looks promising.

I am leaving, I can't see this.

What are you doing?

- Do you like to sing?

- Yes.

During school and college...

I took part in many

singing competitions.

Good.

You can also sing

with us in our programs.

We've been looking for

a female singer for a while.

But I guess we won't need one now.

Why don't you sing something?

You are...

Listen...

I really like you.

But we'll keep looking for a singer.

Well... we conduct religious

programs all over the world.

Canada, America, Britain...

and so we have

modern thoughts as well.

That's a good thing.

In fact,

we would want your daughter...

to work even after her marriage.

- And not just sit idle at home.

- That's even better.

The children are

getting along just fine.

So... why don't we grownups

discuss things too?

Yes... of course.

So... how should we go about this?

You tell us.

His son looks like a horse...

what are they

demanding 2.5 million for?

Dear, that's the

standard rate these days.

I'll call the police right now!

They will learn a lesson

when they rot behind bars.

The police won't do anything.

Calm down.

Stop supporting them.

Don't worry,

I will make some arrangement.

How? By selling this

house or mortgaging it?

You're a heart patient.

If something happens to you...

- will you live out on the streets?

- What are you saying?

- Shut up!

- It's the truth!

They call themselves devotees...

- but feel no shame in asking for dowry..

- Vaidehi.

Papa...

I will speak with them. Don't worry.

I will fix everything.

Uncle, your demand was too high.

Be reasonable.

I see... so you're

here to bargain with me.

My boy's not on sale...

There's a long list

of proposals for him.

Bhushan, talk to your father.

You like Kritika, don't you?

Hey... don't try to provoke him!

We're not provoking him, just talking.

Are you her uncle...

that you're bargaining with me?

Bhushan, talk to your father

while there's still time!

Otherwise,

Kritika will marry someone else.

He will marry her.

- Yeah..

- I will... what will you do?

- Nothing.

- Just sit there?

- Listen to me...

- Talk to me... Say something.

- Throw these guys out.

- Be reasonable, father!

I've been asking you

to reduce it for a while...

How dare you back talk to your father?

I will remain a bachelor

forever because of your greed.

You even rejected Verma's daughter.

I will die a bachelor.

Shut up!

Even Sharma's daughter left.

Enough of this game.

Don't try to explain

these things to me.

Tomorrow when your father

puts forth his demands...

then how will you stop him?

Will he be reasonable?

I can adjust a little... not anymore.

Come on... now get out.

What's wrong? You look stressed.

I am under pressure for this dowry.

I've to arrange for

both the daughters.

You look more like their father.

Now I know why India

has so many heart patients.

If this goes on...

then soon I'll need

father's oxygen cylinder.

Is Mr. Trivedi unable

to arrange for the money?

Alok, why don't you suggest something?

Father won't agree to this

alliance without a dowry.

And every time Vaidehi hears

about dowry she gets violent.

What can I say?

I can't think of anything.

Badri, Mr. Trivedi has arranged

for half the amount, hasn't he?

Then why don't you

arrange for the rest?

Father or Mr. Patnaik will never know.

You can tell him that Mr. Trivedi

has arranged for the entire amount.

But how can I arrange

for such a big amount?

We can prematurely break

one of the showroom's FDs.

But the transaction

will show in the statement.

Father will ask about it.

You can say that someone wanted

to borrow a large amount of cash.

And since you didn't

have cash in hand...

you had to take it

from the showroom's account.

And anyway, we've multiple shares...

mutual fund investments as well.

And soon it will be time

for cash recovery too.

We can show multiple entries

in the book and adjust some of it.

Wow, Urmila.

You learned a thing or two

about this business...

spending time with Alok.

She didn't learn from me,

I learned from her.

What?

L... l topped my college

in Banking and Accounts.

Before the wedding...

I even got offers from three banks.

One from even Singapore.

But father didn't agree.

She has a big contribution...

in the expansion

of both our businesses.

Where to invest,

on what rate of interest...

she has pretty good

knowledge about it all.

L see...

So this is what you two actually

do during those lunch hours.

Does father know?

Urmila, you must be really

angry... with father, with us?
