"I said I didn't have two trucks,

they're away for servicing"

"One had an axle broken,

another's bonnet wouldn't open"

"And I said, I couldn't

give him the trucks"

I asked him to have a cup of tea...

and go his way

He went his way too

Everybody went his way

at the office today

Where do I keep these utensils?

- Keep it where you picked it up from

But here...

- They're washed utensils

I washed them

So I washed them again!

These big vessels

get dirty very soon

One must wash them

as often as one can

Look at this one...

gleaming!

"Raj, I know what you're trying to say.

But you needn't do all this"

That you realise it

is enough for me

"Go and sit down. Let me warm the food.

- No, we're having carrot halwa"

with our dinner tonight.

And I'm making it.

Can you?

- But I'll keep trying till you hug me

And what's so great about carrot

halwa? Grate a bit of carrot and...

Does it hurt?

Know what Priya?

It isn't that finger...

this is the one I nicked

I've cut my finger.

Please give me a hug!

How are you doing?

"Manubhai, coming for

a cup of tea?"

"Good morning, my foot!

Have you read the newspapers?"

Why? Has news of your fight with

your wife been printed in it?

Look at this.

The company you worked for...

has closed down overnight.

It has gone bust

What are you talking about?

- Read it

"Yes, Raj.

We're in serious trouble"

The bankers called thrice.

They want to see you

How will he be able to repay

2.5 million in a single week?

I can't do anything about that

"Mr Mathur, if the bank is not

repaid its dues in a week..."

we'll have to seize

all your properties

"Raj, where have you been

all this while?"

I've told you so often to telephone me

if you're going to be late

Your telephone in the office

wasn't reachable

I spoke to Vivek and Deepak. Even

they didn't know where you were

"You know how worried

I get for you, Raj"

What is the matter?

"What is it, Raj?"

Tell me what happened

The company we have most of

our business dealings with...

has gone bankrupt. With that

goes the money they owed us

You mean?

I have bank loans and other

debts to repay...

I don't know what to do

Don't be upset. Come and

eat something first. Come on

No

Do you want me to

have a word with Papa?

"No, Priya"

Every decision I have taken in life

has been my very own

I never sought any help

"And from this difficult situation,

we will have to find our way out"

"Don't lose hope, Raj.

The two of us will think of a way"

"You have your Friend with you.

You have faith in Him, don't you?"

He will help us

I expected business from your

company and took an extra loan...

"for two trucks, sir...

- You're getting so worked up..."

as if it's not my company

but yours that has sunk

"Actually, sir, there is lot of

money your company owes me"

"No, no... the company

owes you nothing"

"It "owed" you money. Past tense.

Because the company is no more"

"But I did my work with

all honesty, sir..."

Why did you?

Did I ask you to be honest?

Look at me! My company has sunk!

But have I sunk? No

Learn something

"I'm no match for you, sir.

All I want..."

Now don't bother me. I'm going

away to Europe for two months

I'm very tired.

I want to relax

"But yes, I'm thinking of starting

a new company after I return"

You can meet me then.

I'll do something for you

"In the meantime, you can

take a holiday too"

Where do you folks go?

What do you call that place?

"Khandala? Go to Khandala.

- Thank you, sir..."

but I don't want to go anywhere.

It's just that by the time you return...

the time the bank has given me

will be over

You're ruining my time

and my mood now

There are many people like you who

are upset at the company going bust

And I haven't started a charity to

distribute alms to everyone coming here!

"I'm not asking for alms, sir.

I'm asking for my rights"

Rights? You don't ask for rights!

You only ask for alms

"If you want your rights,

go to the courts"

"Raj, have this coffee.

And change your clothes quickly"

"What is the matter, Raj?"

"What happened, Raj?"

I... I just felt like crying

"Nothing's working, Manubhai.

I've tried everything"

We'll have to sell the trucks

Everything's going to go away.

- No way

I'll telephone Jignesh right away.

- Why keep calling Jignesh!

How many people will you talk to?

You spoke to... Saeed earlier

Did he give you any money?

Nobody's going to

You've given me so much already.

This chap is cancelling his wedding

"Everybody's trying his best,

but nothing's happening. Nothing"

"Look, have patience. Ups and downs

are part of business. Right?"

"Oh yes, don't lose hope, Raj.

We'll find a way out"

What way will we find? What?

Someone else's company closes down

and the bank holds me by the throat!

Let me try

There's another notice from the bank.

- What new notice is this?

"It says, you've got to 3.5 million,

not 2.5"

3.5 million? How come?

I've settled it at 2.5 with the bank!

"Look at how the bankers

are behaving, Manubhai"

I had a clear understanding

with them that...

This is a cheque. For 2.5 million

It's yours.

- Ours

Don't worry. I haven't taken it

from Papa. I swear

Remember my assignment

from the Australian company?

It has been approved.

And this is the advance

"But who'd give 2.5 as an advance?

- Big folks, big business"

They have hefty advances too.

They aren't beggars like us

You can have the money.

I'll manage on credit

"What a narrow escape! Else,

we'd have lost this office too..."

and we'd sit under the

staircase with our accounts

"Manubhai, don't drink too much.

- This is my first drink!"

This is the photograph Raj had

torn up in a fit of emotions

Why're you roaming around

with the photo?

I've had to work so hard for Priya...

and the photo's damaged anyway

"What are you upto, Raj?

What will Priya think?"

It's Priya I'm doing it too.

- I see. Go ahead

"Know what, Manubhai? I'll telephone

Sameer and call him over"

"All right... who's that?

- Her friend from Europe, remember?"

"No, he'll find it odd here!

- He'll talk to her..."

"and she'll be happy. Else,

we keep talking only about the garage"

"Sameer, this is Raj here.

Where are you?"

You're so close to our house!

Come over

"We're having a party,

a small get-together..."

come over. Priya's here too

Talk to her

It's Sameer. I've called him over

"No, it's a small get-together.

- One moment"

"Sameer, Priya's busy

for a second"

"Yes, Sameer. Talk to her"

Raj insists that you must come

"And listen, I'm talking to you

from another room now"

Don't even make the mistake of

telling Raj...

that you're the one I took

the money from

"It should remain between

you and me, Sameer"

Raj mustn't get to know

I've been talking to Sameer

"Is there anything you want, Raj?"

No

So Sameer was the one

who gave you the money?

Just tell me whether Sameer

gave you the money or not

"Raj, I...

- Yes, or no!"

Yes

Why did you take the money from Sameer?
