Guess so?

Looks like you have a

teeny-tiny crush on her.

Papa, stop it...

So... what else?

Okay, papa...

I am getting late for school.

I'm getting late. Take care, bye.

Bye.

Was papa teasing you about Esha?

Please, go.

If you don't have a good

relationship with your son...

...then even three Michelin

Stars can't help you.

Come on, man...

- I am not a bad father.

- Really?

According to you,

you were not a bad husband either.

Go back to India, Roshan K.

It'll be good for you.

Who's will find me a new job?

I've got EMIs to pay, SIPs.

And, investments for

Armaan's education, and...

Simply paying for

your son's education...

...doesn't make you a good father.

The fact is Radha is

raising Armaan singlehandedly.

And, have you ever

asked him what he wants.

Tuition fee for some foreign

university 10 years later...

...or a little time

with his father now.

Don't call 'chicken soup' on me, okay.

- Be practical.

- Practical?

You know,

you've setup traps around you.

Dangerous... boring... upper-middle class traps.

And left out cooking.

Go home, it'll be good for you.

Gotta go.

I have a kitchen to run.

My kitchen.

Thanks for coming.

- Hey...

- Hey, buddy.

- God, look you've grown so big.

- I know.

Wow...

Exactly what have you

been eating these days?

And, have stopped eating completely?

Maybe I've been missing you two a lot.

Maybe you've been lying a lot lately.

- Come on, guys.

- Okay-okay, sorry.

Hey, have you heard

the latest 'Armaan' joke?

- No.

- Great, then listen to this...

Some girl calls up at

an old man's house for his son.

She says...

"Hello uncle, is Armaan (HOPE) there?"

He says...

"No dear, I did when I was young.

Not anymore.

What? It was nice

- Yeah.

- Wasn't it, Armaan?

Yeah...

- Then, what else is happening?

- Here we are.

Yeah...

Oh, my bag.

Ohh... my back!

- He's so funny.

- No, middle-aged.

Thank you.

No no...

I'll take it.

Anilettan, looking fit.

Still, doesn't like me, does he?

So... how's the entire gang?

- Okay, I guess.

- Nazrul.

"Still alive" is his

standard reply these days.

There are towels in the bathroom...

If you want to shower and change.

Thanks.

- Hello.

- Hello, Boudi.

- Nazrul.

- How are you?

- Did boss reach safe and sound?

- Yeah...

- How are you?

- Still alive.

- Are you crying?

- No, just a little upset.

Of course, you'll be upset.

Manori has no sense at all.

He's fired a gem.

But, don't worry...

...boss will figure out something.

And anyway, he was bored of 'Galli'.

Yes, of course.

- Well Nazrul, I am a little busy now.

- Yeah, okay...

- Okay. No problem.

- And, call again.

Tell boss I said hi.

- Okay.

- Bye-bye.

Namaste Amma.

Radha...

Only you can live happily

in such simplicity.

I can't sleep without a flat screen...

...and a comfortable

bed in the bedroom.

A Comfortable bed cannot

guarantee you sleep.

Isn't that what you used to say?

Ary.

Hey, dude.

Papa, we're all eating together.

It feels so good.

Just like his father.

In the evening you'll realize...

- ...that he's a little like his mother too.

- Yeah...

Dance competition.

- Papa, she's just my friend.

- Sure.

Hey... thank you.

It's great that you showed

up for his performance.

- He adores you.

- I am adorable.

Just because you're still so hot...

...don't underestimate me,

Radha Menon.

- Hi, Radha.

- Hey, Smita.

- How are you?

- Good-good.

So when is your performance?

- 15th... I'll call you.

- Sure.

- Hi.

- Esha's mom!

Even I think Ary's got a crush on her.

- On Esha's mom?

- Shut up.

- Hey, Radha.

- Hey...

Why didn't you attend

the class mom's lunch?

I... I had a bad migraine.

- You okay now?

- Yeah, much better.

I'll catch up with you.

A bad migraine... still?

And that too during the day?

Shall we sit here?

- Hello...

- Hey, what's happening?

Is Ajju performing?

- Oh, nice.

- Hello.

Somebody's very popular.

Do you still get crowned

as the 'Rose-queen' every year?

'Rose-queen?'

You're still stuck in the 90's,

aren't you?

By the way, can't you

spend some more time with Ary?

He needs his dad.

I know, but...

I must go back in a couple of days.

What's the hurry?

Cancel your ticket.

It's not like you

have a kitchen to run.

Did the local news say I got fired?

Your 'I'm Still Alive' told me.

Roshan, can't you stay?

Hey...

Come on, Ary.

Nice program...

Long program!

Listen, dude... I

don't want to be mean.

- But that step was a bit girlish.

- Huh...

You should've had a little masculine,

manly... Punjabi stance.

- Come let me show you.

- This is not your tofu stuffed 'kulcha'.

- Maybe mom...

- Hey, mom's sycophant in chief.

Start the music first.

Let me show you what Roshan

K can do on a dance floor.

Okay...

Wait... how am I going

to show you the step?

Should I, Mr. Roshan K?

Of course.

I am not scared of you.

Or, are you scared of me?

Excuse me.

You're scared because

your son's here.

He might find out who

the real dancer is.

Show me what you got let's see...

Come closer.

Learned these steps.

Okay, sorry... sorry....

I got it...

Turn this way.

"In this 50-50 life

just a few things missing."

"Like a spicy fritter...

with the chutni missing."

"You have some... but not all."

"Like you've Rum but

no cola to go with it."

"In this mumbo-jumbo

life only you're missing."

"Heart goes..."

"Ring the bells..."

"Pick a number..."

"Give the signal already."

"My heart goes..."

"Ring the bells..."

"Pick a number..."

"Give the signal already."

"There's a fire raging... in the sea."

"...that's how my ship sank."

"Look at my state...

"was headed somewhere

and I found myself somewhere else."

"It's going to swim...

and float on the waves..."

"High on life...

It won't stop at anything."

"My ship's going to find its shore."

- That was awesome!

- Right...

That was very nice.

Come on, Ary. Let's go.

- Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

Priya.

Good morning.

You're not ready yet?

I've asked a friend

to arrange a boat.

Ary is waiting.

- Cool...

- And, when you come back...

...I have something important

to discuss with you.

Are you getting married again?

Maybe...

I should take

Some dance lessons too...

Will help me stay in shape.

Right!

Papa, do you know

who this boat belongs to?

Some friend of your mom. Why?

Biju uncle's.

He spends a lot of time with us.

Is he any fun?

- This Biju uncle!

- Crazy fun.

He stops the boat in the middle...

...and catches 'Karimeen fish'

with his bare hands.

And, cooks it on the boat.

- You think that's a big deal?

- Isn't it?

I could do it.

You think.

Sure.

- Where's the 'Karimeen'?

- There... there...

- Can you see it?

- I can see it; it's right next to you.

Where?

- Where?

- There... there...

Yeah, right there.

- I can't see it anywhere.

- Look for it, dad.

- This okay?

- Yeah, great.

Hey... does your Biju uncle really

catch fish with his bare hands?

Of course... not!

I've got to be careful
