Even I don't have

time to flirt and all!

I am here just for the DVD

and for some friendship.

Ok. Cool...

I edited it with my own hands.

I suggest you send it to Indian

idol... you will win for sure...

And then the bollywood

heroines will be out.

Indian idol, my foot. I am

going to start my own business.

Once the exams end... it begins.

What business?

What sort of business is that?

Weddings require so many things.

Tents, decorations, musical bands,

catering, etc, etc...

Who arranges all of that?

Wedding planners.

I want to be the best wedding planner

in Delhi... no... in India.

Good.

Good? It's the best business.

If a bollywood heroine's

films flop, she is out...

But be it recession or inflation,

people will always get married.

Thousands and millions of rupees

will always be spent on weddings...

And who will be required

for the entire planning?

A wedding planner.

Yes! I have planned everything.

Come I'll show you...

This is my company's

name:
Shaadi mubarak.

Very good... Isn't it?

I already have 3 years of

part-time work experience...

With anu aunty.

Whatever salary I get, i

give half to the home.

My father works for the government.

The rest is my own savings.

To start my new company.

There are various themes

in the market these days...

Like the fairy tale theme...

Prince-princess theme, Barbie

theme, magic theme, circus theme...

So is the groom a

joker or a ring-master?

Get lost... you waste your

time loafing about and...

When someone else plans something,

you laugh at them.

Can't even pronounce

"business" properly.

It's my dance...

Well I don't expect

you to thank me...

Buy me a bread pakora at least.

I have a lot of studying right

now... let's meet after the exams.

Ok, bye.

What a waste of time!

Exams over! Shaadi mubarak!

You are back again?

I've travelled all

the way from ambala

with the best proposal for you...

And you are showing attitude!

I said shruti will be

livid when she arrives...

But your father said...

Let's see the proposal now

that aunty has come so far.

My child, you've been working

with anu aunty for three years...

It's time to relax and get married.

After that you can start

your wedding business.

After the marriage the

in-laws will be after me...

For grandchildren...

And the husband's mouth

will be locked forever.

Within a year there will be a child,

and then soon the next one...

And then I just sit at home...

Being a mother all my life.

I will get married to

whoever you like...

But after shaadi mubarak is set up.

Look, I am 20 years old now.

Give me time, five years, and

when I am 25 marry me off...

With or without shaadi mubarak.

Had tea?

Now get lost.

Please ask Manoj if he

can wait for five years.

If not then best of luck.

No dude! Don't go.

Ok, don't be sad. Keep the shirt.

Come on, I am not so evil.

I am sad because you are leaving,

not for these clothes.

What will you do with an mba?

Whether you pass or fail...

You will still have to

return to your father's farm...

And chop sugarcanes with him.

But I have to make my own life.

- You want to do an mba?

- Yes.

Then do it... Don't lecture me.

Where is your suitcase?

Hello, uncle.

Hello, son.

What suitcase?

Didn't your mother tell you that...

We are in town to take the

delivery of the new tractor...

And will take you

with us on the way back?

Should I remember the

exam answers or mom's talk?

Sonu! Pack his bags.

Me?

He will do it... come with me

I'll show you... come outside.

Come.

Look at that.

Is it not the best colour?

We will all go back

home on this lean machine.

I can't come.

Why? Have you set up a shop?

Yes...

No...

Not a shop... a business.

Business?

What do you sell?

We don't sell...

We organise weddings.

Wedding planning.

Barbers organise weddings.

In small towns like saharanpur...

In Delhi it's a big business.

Be it recession or inflation

people will still get married.

People invest millions in weddings.

100 percent profit...

Oh silly...

Our boys don't do girls' jobs.

Now that your curiosity

about college is over...

Come home and manage the farm,

like everyone else.

I'll kill myself but i

won't chop sugar canes.

No one can die jumping

off the first floor...

You're good at nothing,

neither suicide nor business.

And listen...

Once the sugarcane catches blight,

it's cut off and thrown away.

You are a cane with blight.

You are no good to me now.

When you run out of

money then catch a bus home.

This is the fare...

Don't spend it.

Come on, sonu.

You...

So Mr. blighted cane...

What're you going to do now?

Dude, while bullshitting to dad,

i hit upon a brilliant idea.

I am gonna make a

partnership with miss janak puri.

You want to be a wedding planner?

I thought you were just

deflecting your father.

Why? What's the problem?

The turn over is in thousands,

recession or inflation.

Shruti kakkar will kill you.

Only if I hit on her.

I am not interested in her

and nor is she in me...

A partnership is

all I am asking for.

Shaadi mubarak is her idea...

Why will she make you her partner?

Why won't she?

You think she won't?

Laugh freely, or

don't laugh at all,

what sort of a laugh is that?

Did you smell the perfume?

It's horrible...

They bathe in it...

If you sit next to them you

can't enjoy the smell of the bread.

But your business idea...

It's great...

Shaadi mubarak.

When are you starting?

It's started.

I have to reach chanda

narang's office in an hour.

Her son's wedding?

Oh no...

Chanda narang is the superstar, like

sharukh Khan, of wedding planning.

I'll train with her for

some time and then...

My own company.

Well...

I too have a

brilliant business plan.

It's a bit complicated though.

First this and then that...

So I was wondering, till

mine comes in line...

Why don't I join your

shaadi mubarak as a partner?

I don't want any

partnership complications.

Such a big business...

Turnover of thousands...

How will you run it by yourself?

I have handled so

many weddings on my own.

I don't have any

business idea, dude.

I know.

If I don't find a job

or business here...

Then my dad will take me back

to the village to chop canes.

Please save me from the sugarcane.

Please make me your partner.

No.

You just bring all

the brilliant ideas...

And leave the running around to me.

I spent all night making

the DVD. You are my friend.

Today you say friend,

tomorrow you will say I love you.

I don't want any

emotional complication.

I just want to start

my business that's all.

Thumb rule of business - love and

business do not go hand in hand.

I am best on my own.

What are you talking about?

I promise I will never

go beyond friendship.

What's the guarantee?

Fine!

I swear on this bread.

No...

Bye!

Ok, if not a partner, a secretary,

assistant, peon - make me anything.

At least listen to me.

Moonstruck.

Chanda maam's company.

One day even shruti

kakkar's shaadi mubarak tempos...
