I Love New Year

Injurious To Health

While plying between

office and home in the taxi..

...l often feel that the

entire city is so standardized.

The same old sky-scraper buildings,

matchbox homes..

"The same old numbered streets.

The same old McDonalds,

Starbucks at every corner of the city.

And the same old routine

life in this standardized city.

Unaccounted moments

in the office..alone!

The same old fast-food

lunch..on the go.

And the same old

coffee. Vanilla Mocha.

On the go.

This routine never changed.

"But now I intend to change it.

Now..no more office on Sundays.

No more fast food lunch.

And favorite coffee.

Since it's the last day of the year..

...l already made the

first resolution of the year.

Riya..

...what's your thought about marriage?

Riya..would you like to be Mrs.

Randhir Singh?

Riya..we're losing time.

Shall we get married?

Oh, God!

Riya..let's make this

relation official.

Riya...?

Riya...!

I can do it.

Riya? What are you doing

here so early in the morning?

Randhir, what's wrong with you?

Where are you going in the morning?

Remember, it's 31st December.

It's a Holiday.

Office is closed for everyone..

except for you, of course.

There's little work

left in the office.

I'll pick you up in

the evening for the pany.

Exactly.

That's what I came here for.

Tonight's party is cancelled.

- Cancelled?

You're cancelling the party?

No! Come here.

On this New Year,

let's make it a party for two.

Just you and me, no one else.

But Riya?

Jigar and lshmit have

invited us over. - So?

So?

So the point is..

...you don't want to spend

New Year's with me alone.

Look at your face.

Just look at yourself,

you're sweating.

It's not like that.

Look..where will we

have this party for two?

Where?

Here. At your home.

Here it'll be party for three.

Papa's here too.

I've a wonderful idea for papa.

It's Bollywood Nite over

at Jamshed and Jeevan uncle's home.

So..booze, buffet and free

item-numbers for 30 Dollars.

What else could he want?

Free booze!

Fabulous idea, right. - Bloody hell!

We'll be happy and so will papa.

Papa happy? - I don't think so.

I don't think so?

Come on, Randhir.

Whenever it comes to just you and me..

...you're always like

"l don't think so".

Papa is just an excuse, I know it.

0K8'!-

Okay?

Okay for party for two, right? - Yeah!

Love you!

I've a gift for you this evening.

Surprise!

Actually,

even I have a surprise for you.

Coming! - Surprise?

I'll get it. - You?

I'll tell you in the evening.

Happy New Year, uncle. - Rumi, you?

Is Randhir at home?

- No. No one's at home.

I already wished you

Happy New Year. - Yes.

Why do you drop in without calling?

Get lost.

It's a surprise, uncle.

I've been getting enough

surprises since morning.

Get lost now.

So what's going on inside?

Plans to get rid of the old stuff.

Happy?

Now get lost.

You see, uncle,

I am heading to New York tomorrow.

So I thought I'll go to

the gym with Randhir now.

Lala and Firoz will be there too.

So I was saying let me in just.

I said get lost.

Papa..

Perfume? - No.

New Year's Card?

Give me a hit. Come on.

Actually..l'll tell you after

drinking two glasses of wine.

Where are you going?

You can't escape me like this.

- Breakfast.

Randhir Singh needs

wine to gather some courage?

What dangerous surprise

do you have planned?

You..

Is it in the pocket? - What?

Hold this. - What?

But.

These are your house keys?

Oh my, God..

Your house.

I don't believe this.

Your house keys..for me.

I know..l know..it's not much.

It's.

Oh, God..it'S..

Oh, Randhir, what a surprise.

Keys and all..so sweet.

Such a romantic way of proposing,

coming from you.

I don't believe it.

Poor guy's in trouble.

I won't need wine anymore.

- Honestly.

You needed wine for saying this?

Yes..l needed it once.

What? How many times

have you proposed before?

This happened 10 years ago. - But who?

You never told me.

Obviously, it was a girl.

Obviously, it was a girl!

Then why didn't you marry her?

Why tell her all that?

Fool.

What happened? - What else?

I ran to Amritsar! - Amritsar?

Yes. - And what about that girl?

I don't know.

But I've heard she's

in New York these days.

I see..she's in New York!

So what are your intentions now?

Will you run away to Jalandhar?

I have changed now. - Really?

Yes.

Then tonight's party for two..will

be our last bachelor's pany.

Exciting, right?

Last bachelor's party?

Last bachelor's party?

Randhir, you look tense.

- No, no, I am happy.

I am very happy.

- You don't look happy.

It's not funny, Randhir.

- Last bachelor's party?

So I'll leave.

Where?

I've to prepare for the evening pany.

Drop me to the hallway.

Papa..l think I'll

get married this time.

I think so too.

Papa..do you like, Riya?

You're marrying her, what do I care?

Your opinion is important.

Children often forget

this after the marriage.

Do you like her or not?

Well, she's smart.

She already got the keys to the house.

Papa, I won't find a better girl.

And she likes me, and I like her.

Only..like?

Tell me..do you like her?

Son, look here..

I'm spreading out the crockery

your mother brought on our wedding.

Why?

Only for you. Party for two.

And I'll go see that

oldie Jamshed in the evening.

Not for the bloody free drinks.

Only for you, son. Only for you.

Thank you, papa.

If you want, I can turn

this house into a restaurant.

Look. Look.

House makeover in just 8 hours,

by Dolly and Polly!

8 hours? How do they do it?

Dolly and Polly!

No, thank you.

But you must thank me for one thing.

When you were proposing inside.

...l drove your friend Rumi away.

Otherwise you would've remained

a bachelor even next year.

Papa. - Yes.

Thank you for accepting Riya, papa.

- What for?

When the Lord has

already bestowed her..

With the keys to this house,

who am I to say no?

And then..how long can

this old man be with you, son?

Papa.. - Stop making those sad faces.

Go meet your friends.

They're waiting for

you at the health club.

And yes, before you go..take

these duplicate keys.

Thank you.

Bye.

Bye. - Have fun.

Hi, Ira. - Hi, Randhir.

How are you?

Happy New Year. - Same to you.

Sorry, guys, I am late.

Why the long faces? What's wrong?

What's wrong?

You know..poor Romi's new in Chicago.

He lost all his hair trying

to find your home. - Leave me.

And your papa kept the

cake and alcohol he had brought.

And told him to get lost.

Is this how you treat

your best friend?

And you want to know why we're upset?

Sorry..actually, papa didn't want.

Actually, there was a girl.

I see..there was someone in.

So what?

You were only kissing her right.

Could've waited for a minute.

You didn't exactly elope

with her from her wedding?

Well..it's about a wedding.

You..

You're getting married. - Yes. Why?

You? - Why not?

This born-bachelor's getting married.

When did you get hooked?

I've grown sman like the rest of you.

I've decided. I am getting married.
