age in an old age home... - Raj.

Eight dollars.

When I came to this city,

I had only eight dollars.

I provided education to my brother.

He converted eight

dollars into eight billion.

I didn't ask anything

from him. Besides a job.

And if my son is capable,

he will run his business.

I don't think that

day will ever arrive.

I am there. I am a good son too.

Shut up.

If you think you will play

ice hockey, you are mistaken.

Don't worry, dad.

As a hockey star's father,

you can retire early.

Then you can rest on a beach and

see bikini... - Stop your nonsense.

Enough.

Henceforth you will

concentrate on yourwork.

And in yourfree time you

will do service in Gurdwara.

Henceforth, no hockey. Got it?

Don't do that.

Fatso. - Don't do it again.

Son, please finish your dinner.

I have lost my appetite, mother.

Son, try to understand yourfather.

I admit he is a bit stubborn.

When you cut your hair,

he kept quiet.

When you left university, he

arranged for a job for you...

...at your uncle Sammy's place.

You also have some duty,

don't you, son?

Please eat.

My darling son.

Rubbish.

Yes. Have confidence, friends.

We will give

Hammerheads a tough time.

What do you say?

Fine. Listen.

They are smarter,

speedier, and beefierthan us.

Yes.

Fair-skinned. Have you seen it?

Hi, guys.

Hi, Reena. - Hi.

Do you know me? - Bye.

Reena is So pretty.

She is my cousin.

Whenever I see her on news,

I wish I was her microphone.

Wow! You will surely

become the coach of the year.

So what should we do?

What do you mean by we?

If you know what to do to be

the coach of the year. Teach me.

Or be strong, break some

bones and give yourself a chance.

Hockey that you play on the street.

And real hockey.

I have told you so many

times I won't do a cookery show.

"Your beloved's truck is

Son, since you are going

to be my company's driver...

...let me tell you

what you have to do.

Atruck is delicate like a woman.

You should treat her

be a shortage of adornment.

But always drive safely.

You mean, seatbelt, right?

Right, uncle. Okay. Give it a name.

how you handle a woman?

Now, I know why you

don't have a girlfriend.
