- Yeah...

She's coming to take you home.

I don't want to go back.

I want to work with you.

I want to stay with you.

This adventure ends here, Ary.

For you and for me.

Your school starts on Monday.

And, as soon as this

food truck business picks up...

...I'll find a buyer

for it and go back to US.

But you said you're having fun.

Of course I am having fun with you.

Hey... I don't want to leave you either.

But Ary, I've been

offered a really nice job.

But I thought finally you

have a good reason to stay with me.

I thought we'll always

have fun like this.

I don't know whether all this

will even work.

Sometimes one has to be practical.

What happened to your...

"I am sorry for all those days

when I wasn't around to yell at you"?

Hey, Ary.

Come on, buddy.

Amazing, boss.

Now this is a 'Kochuri'.

Not Kochuri, bengali... Kachodi.

- Kachodi.

- Kachodi.

- Back in our hometown...

- Shut up, Alex.

Ary.

My runaway boy, how have you been?

I've been good.

- Hi.

- Boudi, Kochuri?

You look really happy.

Best time of my life.

Mom, whatever the situation...

...is it right to bribe

to avoid a problem?

Not at all.

Says who?

Whatever the situation...

...what's wrong is wrong,

and what's right is right.

Exactly what I told him.

- Really?

- Really.

Are you packed?

Come, I'll help you.

- Nazrul, a cup of tea please.

- Certainly.

It's really cold.

Listen, Radha.

I won't drop you to the airport.

Why? Don't be silly.

I've already seen

you two leave me once.

- That's enough.

- Actually this time you're leaving us, Roshan.

Radha, I need that job.

You know, that's your problem.

You never understand in time.

You don't need that job you want it.

There's a difference.

- Tea... it's hot.

- Thank you.

It's time to go, Ary.

Our car is here.

Hey... don't trouble your mom, okay.

She won't let me.

Bye.

Boss.

Boss.

Are you okay?

Alex, start the bus. Follow Radha.

Really? You get clarity now?

Don't waste time talking...

...and, in a language I don't know.

Boss, this is Delhi.

By the time we dodge traffic...

...you would've already missed

your wife, your life, everything.

Boss... the drunkard's right.

Forget the bus, call her!

This is not something I

can say over the phone, Nazrul.

Right.

According to Alex they

must be stuck in traffic.

- Yes.

- Boss, run!

Run!

Sorry.

- Hi.

- Yeah, hello.

Where are you?

What's wrong?

Why are you out of breath?

- Are you okay?

- No, I am fine.

Just give me a minute.

- Is that an ambulance?

- Yeah, it's crazy.

It's stuck. We're right behind it.

- Who's that, mom?

- Papa.

Listen, actually I've

nothing to say in my favour.

But Radha, please.

Can you miss that flight and stay?

Please.

No Roshan, I can't.

You can't keep doing

this to Armaan all the time.

First you give him hope

and then break his heart.

Its best that Armaan doesn't

have too many expectations from you.

My timing isn't that bad today, Radha.

I am stopping you before you leave.

When I saw Armaan leave, I realised...

...what is most important in my life.

The last few days...

I felt complete.

I don't want to feel empty again.

Work...

Loving my work...

Working with love...

Somewhere I missed out on love.

But, now I want to make up for that.

With life...

My son.

And...

Radha, I am not taking that job.

I am not going back to US.

Really, papa? You're not going?

No.

I know I am making

a big mistake by staying.

But, what the heck.

Come.

Why can't you guys make up your minds...

...without troubling the

rickshaw and taxi drivers?

- Now, you got me stuck in this.

- Sorry.

Madam, you took a U-turn so easily.

But, I can't take

a U-turn in this traffic.

Why is he so upset?

Does he work for Biju?

- Roshan.

- Uncle... hello.

hello.

Radha, uncle.

- Hello.

- Hello, dear.

Radha... Roshan isn't just a chef,

he's a magician.

"As I met more crazy

travellers like me..."

"...that caravan increased."

Uncle, take a seat.

I'll join you.

Don't worry.

Just don't run me out of business.

"If you listen to me, then soon..."

"And, even if you don't...

let go of your worries"

"...sing along with me."

"Forget your worries and have fun."

"Get into the groove and have fun."

"Have fun without a care."

"Have fun..."

"Steal the night away and have fun."

"Give it all you got and have fun."

"Have fun without a care."

"Have fun... and sing along."

whole affair

Is in today's moment

Hello, father.

Who knows where tomorrow

"No need to look all over the world..."

"...the keys are in your pocket,

and will open all the locks."

"If you listen to me, then soon..."

"...you will find your shore."

Do I put the bill on your tab or,

will you send it later?

It's my son's restaurant.

Your son is a cook?

Chef! He's a big chef.

He's known all over the world.

"Steal the night away and have fun."

"Give it all you got and have fun."

"Have fun without a care."

"Have fun... and sing along."

"Lord, you are great.

You brought everyone together"

"All's well that ends well"

'People proudly say that their life...'

...was filled with little love,

and a little hard work.'

'But, I was in love with my work.'

'People often listen to their heart...'

'...but, I listened to my nose.'

And my nose...

finally led me to my destination.'

"Forget your worries and have fun."

"Get into the groove and have fun."

"Have fun without a care."

"Have fun..."

"Steal the night away and have fun."

"Give it all you got and have fun."

"Have fun without a care."

"Have fun... and sing along."
