Dum Laga Ke Haisha Page #4

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.

Look at the ham actors today

My father forced me to live here.

I'm wasting my life

My only hope is that Suman's father

accepts me

Then life is set

You love Suman, right?

If her father marries her to someone

else, would you do nothing?

There's a big difference between

reality and the movies

Do you know the truth of my life?

...36B..

"Sister, 36D. The elastic is strong

and long-lasting"

Dog! Siding with my enemies.

I'm better off alone

Do as you please

- Saraswati Coaching Centre?

- Yes

I want to re-sit the high school

exam

Show me your certificates

She's made bland food

Don't interrupt.

Let me see the recipe

She'll make us sick, dieting

I won't stop you. Eat what you like.

This is for me

This is the last straw.

First she left her husband

Now she's dividing the kitchen

- What are you cooking?

- Poison. Want some?

No. You go ahead

Papa?

- A new CD shop is opening

- Whose shop is it?

It's here

- Isn't this Nirmal's shop?

- Let's see

How can one market have two

recording shops?

Is this Nirmal's shop?

Yes, it is

When does it open?

The opening ceremony is over

We're in trouble

What will happen to our business

if you open a music store, Nirmal?

You have every1hing

A decent wife, too

He misbehaved at the Youth Club.

I came because of my father

Be polite, Nirmal

Don't act pious, Nirmal. It took you

no time to ruin us

Have pity. His wife dumped him

Not surprising

You got him married to that hippo

against his will

I'll break your head

See how he behaves!

- Think before you talk, sister

- What did I say?

The shop is our bread and butter

We are not here to do charity either

You must be happy. Bankrupting others

You're just jealous.

Jealous of our success

Success? My foot!

We know your father paid a bribe

to get you into college

Who is stopping you from using

your brain cells?

The only thing that's free is whining.

That's all you do

Stop taunting me

Have some cake first

It's her birthday. Some respect

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

I'll give you a chance to save

your shop

Take part in the wife-carrying

contest

Win and the shop is yours

Nirmal, don't talk rubbish

This is too much

I'm serious

You'll never learn.

Go, open your shop!

We have 15 years of experience

recording tapes

If I was married...

- ...I'd take part in the contest

- Naina, keep quiet

That's enough from them

Take part in the

wife-carrying contest

I will not. Let my father carry you

You will carry your wife and run

It's your birthday, but don't talk rot

I have told him. He'll run

- I won't

- Yes, you will

Has she gone senile?

Haven't we been humiliated enough?

What's wrong?

Why is she lying down?

- She tripped

- How come?

Are you ok?

What's wrong?

The divorce notice

The bet is off

No

Yes, we get it

Hurry! Thejudge is leaving

Hope I don't leave this world

before him

What is it?

I'll sit in front

- What shall I do?

- Take my hand

Push me

Going to bring the girl back?

You must wish us bad luck,

right?

Drive carefully

Sinister man. He curses everyone

Your sister's husband went to

the mountains looking for God

Pervin's husband is in jail

The bra seller can't convince his girl

And Prem has a divorce notice

Chant in the name of your mother,

not God

She keeps talking nonsense

What did I say wrong?

There'll be lots of crying

Stay calm

So cry once and for all

I'm very proud of you, Sandhya

ls everyone here getting divorced?

- Is that right, Prem?

- It's a divorce court

Stop talking

Is there anything I should know?

- What's that?

No need to beg Sandhya.

Papa will carry you and run

No way

Why is God punishing us?

A disaster

Don't cry. We're the guilty ones

Who wants a "divorced" sign

outside their house?

Look what happened to me

Sandhya Varma, Prem Prakash

Tiwari. Divorce Petition

Tiwari is accused of insulting

Sandhya Varma in public

Hurting her physically

and emotionally

She asks the court to grant

her divorce

The Tiwaris must pay a divorce

settlement of 50,000 rupees

But she filed for divorce.

Is it mutual consent?

Yes

Was it a love marriage?

Just a marriage, no love

Then why did you marry him?

I liked him

And you?

Financial pressure. Sandhya

would teach and earn

Papa wanted a bride

who earned a salary

So I agreed

Anyihing happened -

kisses, intercourse, etc?

- I won't discuss private matters

- He loves humiliating me in public

- Hitting me made you proud?

- I am ashamed of that

- You humiliated me

- As though you didn't do the same

And what's this ridiculous

settlement demand?

- Don't you know our situation?

- What about me?

Did you think before slapping me?

Quiet, please!

Do the family members

want to say anyihing?

Your Honour, what can I say?

You're wise. Misunderstandings

are commonplace

That doesn't mean separating.

Just come home

Prem's father and I fought too

Once I added extra salt

in his mother's food

He hit me hard with his shoe.

But I didn't leave home

Am I talking Greek? I'm asking her

to come back

Do only men have the right to talk?

Must we just cook and clean?

This is your chance. File a case

of domestic violence

Discuss your emotional

matters outside the court

As per the Marriage Act, the court

asks you to live together for 6 months

If matters are not resolved by then...

...the court will approve the

divorce papers

Sandhya, come back.

We're pleading with you

I'll get my room back

Forget the law. Just come back

- Ask him to say sorry

- Prem, come here

The one who slapped first,

apologises first

Who insulted me in public?

Apologisel

All right

sorfY

She's your new mother.

You'll look after her now

Hold this

Please come

I'm already feeling better

The time has come to carry

your personal load

Right here in the heart of Rishikesh

All husbands! Flex your muscles

All wives, lose some weight

The winner gets 10,000 rupees

"Heave-ho, carry that load"

The wife carrying contest

Can I say something?

It's not "of" Monday.

It's "on" Monday

And we say "in" August.

Not "on" August

The preposition is used differently

Why did you touch my book?

Iwasjust...

But why? Don't show off

your education

Ok. I know you're very smart.

I know nothing

I'm a fool and uneducated

But stop putting me down

Listen, bear with me

Better we accept the farce

happfly

I'll go in six months

"In" and not "on"

Leave this in room 12

I am a student...

Roll Number 317

- Take a seat

- Thank you

Dear Teacher...

I am 25 years old

This is my third attempt at

the English exam

My father was right. I'm a loser

My struggle to make something

of my life ends here

If you feel any pity...

...or this letter moves you,

or your eyes moisten...

...or if you're unmoved and want

to throw away my letter

Or give me a zero

Remember you are zeroing

the fate of a family

Today I accept...

...that I have failed my family,

my wife...

...and myself

Prem Prakash

Stan serving

Give Prem some of this tasty
