Together I think we'll make a great band.

But...do you know them?

Which friend? - The same friend who showed me the poster.

Hang on... No!

No.. No..No!

Not Pandit uncle! - Yeah!

Relax, nothing's going to happen.

Just tell him I am coming to Mumbai. Period!

You have to help me.

Please!

Okay.

'Now let's meet those guys...'

'...who don't have the slightest clue...'

'...how much they are in demand abroad.'

'The first member of our band...'

'Paper.'

'He delivers 'Newspaper' because it pays.'

'And plays for the band...because he loves to.'

'Actually...even Paper's father loves to play.'

'And his favorite instrument is...Paper!'

'Paper's mother... Drama Queen.'

'She has just one demand.'

'Like a pin.'

'Small in size...but believe me, hurts a lot.'

Son...go, get water.

'Whether it's day or night...'

Hey handsome!

'Under the scorching sun...or the thundering rains..'

'..whether he's got the loose motions or fever...'

'...in mourning or in celebrations...'

'...independence Day..' - 'Long Live Mother India!

'...or Love Day.'

'The queue for water.'

'And so Paper has only one dream.'

Doctor... - Sub-Inspector!

Where are you? - Right here!

Are you teasing me?

Object in the Mirror are Closer Than They Appear.

'There are two things Grease is perfectly tuned with.'

'First is the Engine.'

'Second...Drum.'

'But Grease is ashamed of his other talent.'

'Covered all over with grease, he has only one dream.'

'White.'

'White walls. White sofa.'

'White table...white cupboard.'

'Lamp...photo...chair...'

'...pant, shirt and white goggles.'

Let's get going.

How are you doing, Grease?

Let's go.

'The trumpet is called 'Vajantri' in Marathi.'

'That's why he was named Vaja.'

'The third member.'

'Normally the saddest person in a wedding is the bride's father.'

'Then the mother...then the ex-lover.'

'And then the...bride herself.'

'But the saddest of all is...Vaja.'

Hey...Vaja...let's go. Come on.

'But Vaja's face is worth watching...'

'...when he's playing the clarinet.'

'By the way, even Vaja has a dream.'

'He's heard that in the airplane...'

'...there's a button above the seat.'

'And when it's pressed...a woman appears.'

'And she gives you anything you want.'

Sir, how can I help you?

Taraat! Taraat!

Taraat!

Did he fall in again?

Taraat! Taraat! Taraat!

'And this...is the most important member of our band.'

'When he punches someone...he gets shaken.'

'And when he strums the Banjo, people still get shaken.'

'The Big B of Banjo world.'

'Taraat.'

'Extorts money for Corporator Patil.'

'But he couldn't earn his share of respect yet.'

Man, you guys play so well.

Everyone in our area said...

"No one will bother to come down..."

"...if you guys don't play at Navratri".

That song you guys played on Ganpati festival.

Absolutely wonderful.

People are just dying to shower money on you.

And now you demand double the fee.

I mean...you guys charge double if the client comes himself.

This isn't right.

Life gives you two choices.

'Either take whatever you get...'

'...or...snatch what you like.'

Now, you decide.

I want double.

It's fine.

See you.

How are you?

Please talk to him.

He's asking for double the fees.

Why double?

We're just getting in demand.

That's exactly why we can demand double.

Say what?

You won't understand just yet.

I will when you're old enough to understand.

Unbelievable, Taraat. Amazing.

What did you understand? - I didn't...

But if Taraat is saying it, it must be right.

Right...

I've been trying to explain you for three days, do I look crazy to you?

Can't you listen...or you don't want to listen?

You go...you must be getting late.

Don't forget to call after you reach, please.

Don't worry, mom. It's only for a few days...

...and everything's been taken care of.
