Dum Laga Ke Haisha Page #2

Synopsis: It is the 1990s, the tape-cassette is dying, CDs will soon be the rage and a regular arranged marriage will turn out to be a perfect mismatch. Prem (Ayushmann Khurrana) is a shy music buff who runs a tape recording shop in Haridwar. Sandhya (Bhumi Pednekar) likes to dance to the band tunes at her own wedding. He has nightmares about drawing a blank at his English exam. She is about to carve a niche for herself as a teacher. But now, they are married and they are supposed to spend a lifetime together - and he is still trying to find balance on their scooter ride together. From overcoming his fear of the English language to dealing with an overbearing father, he discovers that his oversized wife, who he thought was a spanner in his spool, will actually lead him to something quite cool.

I can't rebel. But in the bedroom

I can

It's my battlefield

If he is a little shy,

make the first move

Pleasing your husband is

your responsibility too

Walk slowly, please

I've finished engineering.

Have some sweets

Prem!

Straight and first right. You'll see

Vijay's shop. I have work

Aren't you coming?

Just take one piece - not

the whole box

You know Vijay. What will I do

in a ladies' store?

- See you later

- Listen!

Namaste, sister-in-law

- Will you have some tea?

- No, thanks

Where's Prem?

He's busy

I need some stuff

- These bangles are lovely

- Not bangles

Something like that

See this

No. Next to that

- This one?

- The one above

Sister, show them to her.

I have work

Can I help?

A nightgown?

- Sure. Any undergarments?

- Only the nightgown

It will really suit you

That's fine

And this is the inner...

All right. I'll take it

Tell me when you're done

inspecting them

I was looking at their handbags

Sure you were

Hey Prem, is that your wife?

Yes

- You brought your wife shopping?

- I'm Sandhya

That's Pervin

Very pretty. Visit me some day

I live nearby. Drop by sometime

- Hurry!

- Just shut up and wait

Tehmina, get my purse

- Let me talk

- Why do you want to talk to her?

Have some sweets. I've just

finished my engineering degree

Easy. I have to give some

to the others

What was the big hurry?

You didn't let me talk

Why are you getting angry?

What have I done?

I am talking to you

Take me to the government library

Ok, I'll walk home

- I'm telling you straight

- This is a library

I don't like talking to people

Who asked you to talk?

I was talking

What's your problem?

I don't like chatting with

all those shopkeepers

I don't like being interrupted either

Does it bother you if

I talk to someone?

You don't know these people

When I am alone, they will

get after me

Where's the celebration?

My father was right

People here like keeping

their money locked up

Sandhya wants to see a film. Papa

is setting up the VCR

She should've got her own TV.

Why must we miss the soap?

Nothing happens in those soaps.

You won't miss anything

I'm hanging up. Ask Hema to call

Can I please close the window?

Sure. Lock it

Listen

Please close the window

The window

Can you set up the VCR?

Are you ready?

"Ma,-tyrs' DaY"

Aren't you watching?

Not in the mood

Send the TV back

- I'll tell Papa...

- Why tell Papa?

We'll watch it together

Put the light off

Quilt?

Wate r?

Our child just became a man

Bless us, Lord

Where are you going?

I want to share the good news

with my daughters

Tell them tomorrow

Did you see the whole film?

I don't get tired halfway like you

I saw it till the end

Who heats the water at your place?

We have a geyser

- Did you have breakfast?

- No

How did your exams go?

Maths was tough as usual

Make sure you pass

No one in our family has failed.

I want top marks

You talk like your family inherited

the world's brains

She is Prem's aunt

You leaving?

She's going

- Let your brother eat

- I've eaten

They don't eat much.

But every grain shows

It's called metabolism

My respects

Where's Prem?

What are you doing?

Help her with the luggage

Give my regards to your father

Travel safe

I left a list of songs on the table

- Record them for me

- If I have the time

Come on the 4th

- Why?

- Why do you think?

Let's go, Samar

I couldn't say no to Papa

about marrying

I couldn't stop myself last night

Domestic life is going to

drag me into quicksand

What can I teach a person

who has no will power?

I feel suffocated. What will

power do you mean?

Don't live in denial.

Just accept the reality

How can I accept someone

I am not attracted to?

How do I look?

Do whatever, you will always

look a witch

Want a slap?

This is my life now

A gravitational pull is sucking me

Accept defeat then

It's not gravity

The pleasure in bed

is pulling you

Don't be ashamed of pleasure

It is not pleasure.

It's compulsion

So enjoy your compulsions.

Why else are you on earth?

All objects in this universe

are drawn to one another

The law of gravity

So why do some objects

not meet...

...and stay fixed in their place?

Although...

...they want to reach out to

one another, they cannot

Pl3Y

- From here?

- Press

Listen to the sound

Son, is this a CD?

A CD - a compact disc.

This is the future

Give up the old stuff

Listen to the sound

Really good

I'll get you a good deal. About 150K.

Plus a CD player

How much for this lot?

There are no buyers for this

Cassettes are only sold as scrap

No one cares for them

We'll have to start the business

from scratch

Why can't we get a loan?

I haven't repaid the loan I took

for my daughter's wedding

I told you

No borrowing money

Suggest something then

I suggest you put the radio

under your pillow

Listen to Kumar Sanu's love songs

We'll manage somehow

- When do you get Sandhya?

- On the 4th

That's today

She's waiting for him

and he's busy hogging

Give him more food

Why don't you call him?

He could call me

Are you keeping score?

Anyway I'm better than he is

Papa, please eat

Samar, come and eat

Don't give me too much.

Leave something for Prem

There's no need

I'll go check

Prem, welcome

We were expecting you

- God bless you, son

- Get him some snacks

Hello, brother-in-law

- Give him a plate

- No, thanks

- I have an early start

- Eat something

No thanks

Shall we go?

Prem, keep this money

No, please no

Take it. It's for good luck

Keep it. Buy something for me

Hold on to your bag

- What's wrong?

- I'm hungry

But you said you ate

Sit here. I'll sit over there

Give me some kachori

with onions

You eat onions?

- Yes. But my family don't

- My family eats onions

Must you go on about your family?

We eat onions. We don't sleep

before 12

What can I do if you all lie?

At least I know something

about you now

You smoke?

And drink. No one drinks

in yourfamily?

No

Don't tell anyone

Will your father hit you?

I am not scared of anyone

You're the fearless

warrior of the family

Eat up

- Want some?

- No, thank you

The threads of endearment...

...are entangled in your fingers

I cannot find a way...

...to untie the knot

My life is like that star...

...that passes through the clouds

You must be a little crazy

To have chosen me

How did you hear...

...my unspoken words?

What's wrong?

I want some water

I'll get it

The girls today know every1hing

What's good or bad for them

Good or bad... they also

enjoy their youth more

But what does Prem know?

Weren't you excited when

you were young? Wasn't I?

It's their time to have fun

Need something?

He was feeling hot

You're shameless! Hush

Here

Did you record my songs?

What?

The spices are on the top shelf

- Sugar and tea down below

- Where's my medicine bottle?

I threw it out. The meds had expired

You threw it out?

I bought it two months ago

Expired pills are not good

for the health

Don't show off your education.
