Will arrive in

these posh farm houses.

Shruti kakkar and bittoo Sharma...

I told you, no partnership,

now stop following me.

But you already have

trained under anu aunty...

Anu aunty does low

budget weddings...

Small community hall types, with

grooms arriving in small cars.

Chanda narang does

massive farm weddings...

Where the grooms arrive in choppers.

An investment of a few

million is no big deal.

A wedding planner's commission

is at least 15 million rupees.

15 million rupees!

Of course... these

are the weddings...

That superstar

shahrukh Khan dances at...

And chanda maam organises them.

I'll learn a lot and be high

class if I work with chanda maam.

Chanda maam!

Ya, tell me...

You wait here... Me too...

Maam, I am a huge fan of yours.

Maam, you are too good...

You are my inspiration.

Please let me assist you.

Please just have a look at my file.

Maam, I've...

Maam, I am a fan. Let go. I can

do any sort of work. Please, maam.

Yes diwakar...

Who? Yes, tell me...

Get off. Don't show off

in your stupid uniform.

I can work better than you.

Please leave.

When will they

discharge him? Oh dear...

Why do they enter this profession

if they have to get jaundice!

Now who will do his duty?

I'm leaving.

What's the problem?

You can't stay here.

No. I will work only

with her. Not alone.

But I have place

only for one person...

And a girl can't handle it.

She?

Girl?

Only from the outside...

There are ten

bouncers hidden inside her!

Look, I can pay a

salary for one person only.

So then bittoo comes

free at the price of shruti.

Are you two...

Boyfriend-girlfriend?

Not at all... just

partners... guaranteed!

Thank you, maamji... thank you...

Each chandelier was

supposed to have four circles...

Why have you put only one, maqsood?

How long have you been working here?

Only five days old, and you

have been around for years...

But don't think you can fool me.

If you don't make four circles

I'll complain to chanda maam.

Go ahead!

Your chanda maam would have charged

the client for 50 circles...

But I have been paid only for one.

You've to put three

over there at the back...

Chanda maam?

Flower shower from above.

The wedding planner promised red

roses for my niece's wedding...

But eventually there

was a marigold shower.

You relax... you like red

roses... you get red roses.

Maam, the catering

guys are asking for you.

Chill!

Who will get the work done,

if I keep giving them demos?

Thanks, buddy you saved me...

Why starve... have biskut!

What sort of people

are you dealing with...

They expect roast chicken

at the price of dried grass?

Even her abuses sound sweet,

like fm radio.

Oye radio? Do you know what a

big cheat your madam really is?

She delivers only half

of what she charges for.

That's why she drives a BMW.

She is so clever.

It's not clever, it's cheating.

Not cheating, it's business sense.

It will never happen in my company.

Ok, we won't cheat.

- Bittoo!

- Yes, maam!

Boss or employee...

He doesn't spare anyone.

Are you trying to cheat me?

Where are the lilies?

Sir?

There is no

arrangement of any flowers...

Due to the drivers' strike,

the delivered stock is less.

The arrangement my wife

approved had lilies...

All we have are carnations...

- Maam... that...

- What that?!

There were no lilies.

Why? Why were there no lilies?

Maam...

Enough is enough.

We are out of this.

No one can stay after this insult.

Come on, shruti!

Yes, I know, big-shot army man,

doesn't mean you can

abuse in English...

You know very well

whose fault it is...

Don't stretch it so much that we are

forced to expose. - Expose what?

Bittoo, this will get us a bad

reputation. Think of the future.

It is the future...

Your shaadi mubarak.

Come on partner.

Will get the uniform sent.

Keep the cap. Dupe someone else.

See you around in the market.

Nice name... shaadi mubarak.

But in our families

traditionally uncles...

And aunties get together

and organise the wedding.

What will we do with

a wedding planner?

See I told you so...

Thank you, uncle.

How much money do you

intend spending on the wedding?

200 thousand. Or 250

thousand rupees maximum.

You spend 250 thousand only...

And leave the arrangements to us.

Where's the venue?

Venue? Same one as where the rest

of the colony gets married from!

Here it is... our

first wedding site.

Let's inspect the site.

Why are we dealing

with these small-timers?

They don't even have cars.

Their groom will

arrive on a scooter!

Let's directly

attack the farm houses.

Let's become prince of

smaller budget weddings...

And then become king and

queen of the farmhouses.

There is lesser risk here.

Things are bound to go wrong

in the first few weddings!

It's our area, we can smile,

apologise and get away with it.

What can be done for 25o thousand?

That's the challenge. 250 thousand.

Let's see how much your brain works.

Really! Now you watch out.

All this is possible in our Lane?

Anything's possible

with shaadi mubarak.

Bands horns and revelry.

I say, I say I will

plan weddings...

I will make the altars...

I will do the dances.

Bands horns and revelry...

Which one?

Quick, quick, hurry up. The

lights have to be tested...

Have you stolen the

connection from the pole?

So? Should I pull

it from your house?

Cut the line now... cut it!

Why?

I told you... no

cheating in shaadi mubarak!

A generator and

diesel will cost 15,000.

Doesn't matter, but no cheating.

Just cut it or else

I'll call your office.

Bands horns and revelry.

The beautician's cost is

included in the budget.

Don't worry. Is this ok?

Send the van back after off-loading.

Bring the stuff here...

And keep it carefully.

Don't trample the flowers,

they should look fresh.

Did you call him?

Yes... why?

Shaadi mubarak's first

wedding without maqsood's flowers?

Maqsood, we are on a small budget.

But you are a big person

in the brigadier's wedding the

fault was all chanda's and mine...

But you took the blame...

Don't worry about the budget,

tell me who is doing the catering.

I've spoken to bansal.

Remember one thing... what do

guests enjoy most in a wedding?

Food!

Lighting and decoration

will be all forgotten...

Bansal will serve

rubbish and charge double.

Rajinder is our man...

He has a small

restaurant in trilokpuri...

And makes the best food.

He has been trying to get

into catering for years...

Here, talk to him.

Oh no... no first-timer.

What if he screws up?

You are doing it for

the first time as well.

Hello, mr rajinder!

Why are you dealing

with these planners?

I would have

arranged for better food.

What are you saying?

It's great food.

The arrangements are brilliant,

how much have these

shaadi mubarak people charged?

Depends on your budget.

We have paid 250 thousand.

That's it? 500 thousand was

spent on monty's wedding...

And yet the food was stale.

Don't worry, it's a gift.
