Dum Laga Ke Haisha Page #3

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 know what expiry means

I was trying to help

Why do you keep taunting me?

I asked about my medicine bottle

If you must, here it is

Answering back, eh?

We'll talk later

The way you talk. Making

a mountain out of a molehill

You should be grateful

Without me...

Prem wouldn't have married

a fat girl like you

As if Prem was some movie star

If you made him marry me...

...you should've taught him

how to treat me

Listen to her!

I was married too

I ran a house, but I never

answered back

Don't talk to your elders like that

No one cares about me. They only

think of themselves

- What is it?

- Ask your dear aunt

Where are you going?

Just ask me to unpack

Why did you marry me?

Get my clothes. I'm late

Here. I'm late

Greetings

- Raghubir, what brings you here?

- For you

- What is it?

- Sweets

And an invite

A wedding invite?

Nirmal's wedding?

Congratulations!

Listen, everybody. Prem

They met at college? So that's

what they teach nowadays

She's a dentist

Prem got left behind because

of English. Otherwise...

Stop it! Call Sandhya

She is busy. Why call her?

I called out for you

But Prem took you away

You must come to my party

Ok

Saying okay won't do

Sandhya, he won't listen to me,

so...

...grab him by his ears

and bring him there

Have your tea. It's getting cold

I told my father-in-law...

...to hire a community centre.

We'll have 500 guests or more

A 21-gun salute for my family

They agreed. Their gift.

Made in Japan

Amazing sound

What song do you want hear?

- Any song

- Which song?

I am a cut from the

old matrimonial school

Prem is the new generation

I fancy matrimony, but my

girl's father doesn't fancy me

Our Youth Club leader said

we must avoid domesticity

Why think now? You're halfway there

Marrying Deepti is not wrong

Show her photograph to Prem

That's Deepti. Fresh as a rose

Anyway, tell me how's married life?

Can't you tell?

- If Sandhya sees you drinking...

- She can go to hell

Prem, you're drunk.

Give me your glass

Sir, I respect you...

I listen to your advice. Don't

say anything now

Leave me alone

My father ruined my life.

I stood no chance

None of you help me one bit

Control yourself, Prem

Nirmal, my friend.

You got it right

You worked hard. You're

a gentleman. I'm illiterate

And your Deepti - she's perfect

- She'll make you happy

- I know

No one asked if I wanted a life

like this

Papa hitched me up. We're like

oxen under a plough

Wait, Prem

Sandhya is a good girl.

Looks aren't every1hing

Then why show me

Deepti's photograph?

Why do you love Suman?

You're like my brother

Drop in

She's so fat. I don't feel

like touching her

Sleep with Sandhya one night...

...you'll know what hell is

Stop him!

I'll kill him

You hit me

I hit my sister, thanks to you

Stop him

Where to?

Let's sit down

and sort things out

Papa has hit him enough

Prem's father knows what's best

for him

- Take my shoe and beat him

- Never mind, Papa

It's not his fault. It's yours

You should've helped him study,

instead of getting him married

Don't go

What are you doing?

Tell me, will you?

You gave my room to Samar

No phone. No letter.

How come you're back?

I've left Prem. No more questions

Left him? Are you crazy?

Did he hit you? I'll son him out

Look! She tore up my school files

How will I get an A+?

Don't eye my room! I'll fix you too

Why are you waiting?

Call her in-laws

- Ask her what happened

- Don't dare call them

Over my dead body

As if you were sparkling with life.

Why are you here?

He does not need me.

I do not need him

He wanted a wife

He has no manners

He insulted me in front of

the whole neighborhood

He called me a fat cow,

and other things, mother

But you are a fat cow

Men are men. They talk nonsense

when they're angry

Why argue with him?

Even if he was rude, you're smart.

You should've kept mum

Kept mum?

I gave him atight slap

He won't talk to a woman like that

for the rest of his life

This is what too much education

does to a girl

No need for your tears, mother

Nothing happened. I am intact

Have some shame

Be modest in front of your father

Explain to her

Listen, women have to...

That's enough

Please listen

The warhorse Chetak galloped,

setting the earth on fire

When Chetak rode into the battlefield,

the enemy was destroyed

Now it is time for you to run.

Fly with the wind

Enough

Time is short and the task is hard

We have to win

Sure

Being sure will not make you win

Sure

Ok

Use your brawn and brains

to win this race

H ow?

Hop on, son

That's it

This is how you'll win

Son, get off now

Stan exercising

Why, sir?

Are they avoiding me?

Nothing of the sort. We're busy

preparing for the contest

Am I not invited?

We wanted to invite you but after

what happened

Yes, sure

You hypocrite. Lecturing me

and licking Nirmal's boots

Mind your language

Just because my wife left me,

everyone is ignoring me

Calm down. Let's talk

I know you people

They're enjoying my predicament

Stop talking nonsense

Let go. I'll slap you

You'll hit me?

Scum

- Showing me your pretty wife's photo

- Don't drag her into this

I'll drown you

What's all this?

Go

He's upset. I'll talk to him

I've had my eye on him

No unruly boys here

- He'll be ok

- Take him away

Throw cold water on him

He's too hot-headed

Aunty, you don't worry at all

These days the law is with women

You should believe in yourself

and the power of women

You know there are many amendments

favouring women these days

Sandhya's case is super strong

- Will they stay together?

- She's talking about divorce

- Then why is she smiling?

- Must she cry?

Water

Move!

Did you change your surname

on your passport, or...?

No

Did you give any dowry?

Any TV, VCR, sofa scooter,

anyihing?

- Who is giving us a TV?

- She asks if we gave anything

Let me talk

We spent about 20,000

Jewelry, clothes, etc

Madam, we spent very little cash

- Herjewelry is still with her mother

- In the bank locker

What about my humiliation?

Who pays for that?

Sandhya, that's not how you speak to

your parents

They also want your good

Say sorry

Stop stirring up my daughter.

We educated her

She wants sister to apologise

- To whom?

- To you, for being rude

Sandhya, don't lose heart, ok?

Just concentrate on your exams

Aunty, don't take tension

Divorce is very cool these days

It's the means to a happy life

I did not study law

But I know we had a happy marriage

lam sure

Come with me

Are you drunk?

Don't be stupid.

Go, get your wife back

Like hell. I won't

I'm won't be a loser anymore. I'll

make something of my life

Good movie lines, that's how

film heroes talk

People like us must live

connected to reality

I'll re-sit my high school exam

I will not live with my gloomy family

Are you nuts? You're a married man

Your wife will soon be a teacher and

you want to carry a school bag?

Look at me

Don't I dream of becoming an actor?
