Dum Laga Ke Haisha Page #5

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.

steamed food

Why the long face? Sandhya has

made a delicious meal

We'll eat together

- I am not hungry

- We've been waiting for you

Papa closed the shop early today

Have you already eaten?

You're drunk?

Freshen up. He is coming

I must say boiled vegetables

taste delicious

Spices cause acidity

Sandhya has made great food

Lentil broth

- It's really tasty

- I forgot to add carom seeds

It'll taste even better tomorrow

- It's fine

- Have more then

Let Sandhya have the cottage cheese

No, Papa. Let him have it

Eat up

I was thinking - Prem and

Sandhya should partake...

...in the wife-carrying championship

Great idea

No, Papa

It's embarrassing. It's too strange

What's strange about it?

Prem's father carried me

and ran four times

That's another thing we didn't win

Prem is very keen to participate

in the contest. Right?

Sure. Why do you think that

I brought her back?

He's always had a sense

of humour

See that?

Couldn't you have played along

and had your meal?

I can't pretend

You all know the tricks

You must know me by now

I know nothing of the world

You must think I am blighted

- Come here

- What are you doing?

My family's affections are a sham.

Lies!

They are eating what they prefer

We were hungry

It's my fault. I tricked her

into coming back

She'd run the race, save our shop,

get ajob too

It's all my fault

Let me end my life

- What are you doing?

- I'll kill myself

You've been sweet-talking Sandhya,

she doesn't care about us

Where are the matches?

Sandhya, diet or exercise...

makes no difference

Someone will love you

as you are

It's all a sham

The whole neighborhood

can watch me burn

Where are the matches?

Prem Prakash Tiwari -

Roll No. 317

What happened?

Well, he wrote his English exam

in Hindi

He had planned to commit suicide

This is all family matters. It's ok

Suicide? He couldn't even kill

a mosquito

Did you really want to kill yourself?

Did you really love me?

You never gave me the chance

To express myself or to feel

I am unworthy of being loved

You know...

I was very keen on marriage

But no one told me what

marriage really is

As if anyone told me. I was misled too

Be smarter the next time

Will you invite me to your wedding

if you found someone?

Who will marry me?

I'll find you someone...

...who loves and respects you,

cares for you

That's what I thought you'd do

sorfY

It's all right

I'll find you someone you are not

ashamed of

Who doesn't brag about her education

Where's a girl like that?

As if there were dozens of suitors

for me

Papa, let's sell the shop

Your call. You wanted a music shop

I'm off, aunt

- Bless you

- Wait

I'm coming

See that?

They wanted you back

for their selfish reasons

A team spirit is needed

True. We aren't a team

nor are we as one

Never mind

Listen

Best of luck

Go straight

Namaste

Sandhya Varma?

Documents, please

My file? I had it with me

You came for an interview

and forgot your papers?

I can't understand. I had the file

Can I come back tomorrow?

The interview is for today,

not tomorrow

Namaste

You forgot your file

Your file

Who is he?

My husband

Your husband?

MY Papers

Quite impressive

Have you gone through them?

We have no vacancy here

But there's ajob in Meerut

If your family allows you,

you could work there

I'll persuade them. Don't worry

- Is it possible?

- Yes

12 feet

Business is bad

I've been saying that for a while

I know. Put the shop on sale

at once

Inform us soon

"Wife-carrying contest"

I've made your song tape

I've left the tape here

Welcome

Did you hear about the interview?

No

I'm sure you'll get the job

How do you know?

Ijust know

May I say something?

You can leave whenever

you feel like

No one will stop you

My family is jinxed

There is no point suffering

on our account

Think about your future

Ok?

It'll turn out fine

I have the job

In Meerut

So you've decided?

There's no one here to stay for

There are very few buses

to Meerut from here

If someone wants to see me,

they'll find a way

Have you lived alone?

No

Never had a broken marriage

either

I am Siddhesh, your husband's

brother

Yes? How come you thought

of me after so many years?

Sister-in-law? Sorry, I didn't

recognise your voice. Bad news

Your husband has died

He went to the Himalayas on

a pilgrimage. He died in a landslide

He died the day he left me,

15 years ago

Can you come for his last rites?

What connection do I have

with your family anymore?

Did he ever call or write to ask

if I was dead or alive

I thought I should at least inform you

Who was it?

Siddhesh

What did he say?

I am a widow

I've been a widow for years anyway

Meaning?

Greetings, uncle

Where's Prem?

Are you ready for the race?

As long as you race when you

carry my funeral pyre

What's wrong?

That's enough

Come

Can I come in?

The door's unlocked

Vijay came to take you for the race

Your Papa told him to go

Look, I never got a chance...

...to be a wife

To have a family.

I've just lived as a widow

This is your time. You both

should make the most of it

No one is running in that race

What's the use?

Thinking of what's useful has done

nothing for us

Doesn't matter if you win or lose.

Do it for yourselves

Forcing never achieved anything

He doesn't want to

As if you do

Why ask if you don't want to race?

Haven't we lost enough face

in the town?

We've lost every1hing

Nothing left to mock

If there's nothing to lose...

...then why not run for yourselves?

Can't you carry me?

Of course I can

I didn't go to the Youth Club

for nothing

Shall I ask your mother

to phone your sisters?

Why not?

"Heave-ho, carry that load!"

I'll be back

You're here!

I've signed you on

Our honour is in your hands

God bless

Make sure you win

Don't pressure us. It's enough

that we're running

Why are you negative?

Look who is here

Can you carry her, Prem? Or do you

need your Papa's help?

Well, sir?

- What are you doing here?

- To hell with...

...my father and her father too

We got married this morning

Well done!

Brothers and sisters

The time has come to shoulder the

responsibilities of marriage

Let's see who makes it to the end

You'll face many obstacles

Who will win 10,000 rupees?

To inaugurate this race

we have with us the voice...

...that has captured

the heart of millions

I request Kumar Sanu to ring

the bell and start the race

One...

Run, Prem Prakash Tiwari!

Open your eyes, tie your shoelaces

Fire your breath like a bullet

Be careful

Both feet in one tyre, then the next

It's not easy

If you were in my place you'd know

Hold tight

I knew the Youth Club leader

was a fraud

The flying horse was no help

Prem Tiwari and Sandhya Varma...

...are advancing slowly

You look good together

- You too

- Can you talk later?

You never learn

Run like a true man,

kick up a dust storm

Will you make it?

Aren't I doing ok?

- Don't let go

- I won't. Look ahead

Scale all walls, cross all rivers
