Agastya! Do you remember

what day is today?

So far from Earth.

What difference does that make?

Whether it Monday or Friday...

every day is the same to us.

No stupid! Remember, exactly an year ago,

we left on this mission on 25th August.

25th August! Oh my God!

What happened?

I forgot to call my friend, Suhan.

Today is his birthday.

Suhan?

Yeah! He is an old friend of mine.

From Houston?

No. From Mumbai, India.

From India? -Yeah.

Well, what exactly are you trying to do..

...calling someone in India

at 5 in the morning?

That's true.

Well. Now that you have a

couple of hours before..

...you call him, why don't you tell me

about your friend, Suhan?

Well. Where do I start from?

Suhan. Let me start before I met him.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Good evening everybody.

And thank you Filmfare

Thank you Jury.

Thank you Meena.

I'd like to thank all my colleagues.

Kaka, Amit, Dharam, Sanjeev..

...Shammi, Shashi, Rajji,

And better luck next time.

There's a person in my life.

Actually the only person who's really,

really important to me.

I'd like to thank my little..

Probably, someone's

cell phone is ringing..

...near the control.

Can you please switch it off?

Oh sorry. Sorry.

Vikas. Secretary.

Yes, tell me Vikas.

I do only main leads.

I was saying my little uncle and..

Excuse me.

This is embarrassing.

Uncle. Uncle I was just talking about you.

Uncle will you call me in two minutes?

I'm giving a speech on the stage.

Uncle.

Come, I've an urgent matter

to talk with you.

Uncle, I'll just come.

Suhan! My hero! My superstar!

Uncle, basket.

Uncle, what is the trouble?

That you woke me up early in the morning.

You are right.

Give it to me. Sorry! Sorry!

What were you trying to do?

Sorry, uncle. I was trying to help you.

I won't do it.

You want to help me

because I am a dwarf.

No, uncle! Tell me from where

do you look like a dwarf?

Exactly. You are my real friend.

I know.

Are you the new assistant?

Yes, sir. Pandey.

Mr. Pandey, henceforth knock

before entering my office.

Sorry, Bonny sir.

What did you say? - Bonny sir.

It's not Bonny sir. It's Bonney!

I don't know why my parents kept

my name such..

...that it suits my personality.

Bonny! - Bonney!

Bo.. - Okay. You can call me sir.

Okay, sir. Sir!

Don't you sit down! Stand up! Stand up!

Don't ever sit down in front of me. Okay. - Sir.

Yeah. - Sir, this is the bona fide certificate.

- Sir, bona fide certificate.

It's not bona fide.

It's bonafide certificate.

Even I can see that.

But what are these for?

Mr. Bawarchee.

Mr. Pandey.. are you doing this deliberately?

What, sir?

Because you know that I..

Sir, you what?

Because I am.. because I am.. - You?

Because I am a dwarf.

Sir, how can you even imagine this!

Sir, I can't even imagine this!

Okay! Okay! Relax! Don't get emotional.

Bonney Singh. Okay.

Thank you, sir.

Sir..

Yes, Mr. Pandey.

Sir, todayl need a half-day leave.

Of course! Of course!

Why do you need a leave?

Sir, my car has broken down.

Its bonnet has broken.

Bonnet? Get out! Get out!

No need to hide your laughter, dear.

Very soon these tears of happiness..

...are going to be converted

into tears of sorrow.

No!

A notice had come today in the morning.

Of Piya's lawyer.

A year ago Mr. Suhan Kapoor and

Ms. Piya Goyal had divorced.

The court had declared that

every month on the 1st..

...the husband Suhan Kapoor

will send a cheque of 25,000..

...as alimony to his wife Piya Goyal.

But even after a year Suhan Kapoor..

...has not sent even a single cheque of

alimony to Piya Goyal.

Because of Suhan Kapoor's

carelessness Piya Goyal..

...had to undergo tremendous financial,

physical and mental stress.

Because it has been proved

that Piya Goyal..

...can't depend on Suhan Kapoor every month..

...so Piya Goyal demands

a one time settlement"

...of 50 lakhs as an alimony

from Suhan Kapoor.

50 lakhs!

You have one month's time to

repay the settlement amount.

Suhan! Suhan! Suhan!

Catch the ball!

Uncle!

I had heard that poison is

used to treat poison.

But shock is used to treat shock..

...I am seeing it for the first time.

50 lakhs! Uncle,

from where will I get 50 lakhs?

I don't have enough money to even pay..

...the telephone and electricity bill.

I have not paid my house rent

for the past 3 months.

This has no connection with the law.

Law had decided the amount.

And you have not paid

a single penny to Piya.

But uncle, Piya doesn't need money.

I don't have work.

She should be giving me the alimony.

But when you got divorced,

at that time you had work..

...and Piya had no work.

Correct! Correct!

But now the tables have turned.

She has work.

That too in New York.

She is earning in dollars.

Uncle, I have no work.

So we have to go to the court

and re-evaluate this case.

And you will have to get me

the alimony. Correct.

Really? How much?

I think 50,000 per month is fine.

50,000! I will strangulate you!

Why? You didn't like my idea?

Not at all! At least some time

take your work seriously.

This is a court case.

You have not given a single penny..

...to Piya in the past one-year as alimony.

If you will go to the court,

then you yourself will get stuck.

Uncle, what should I do? I don't get any work.

Whatever money I had, I spent that..

...on bodybuilding and photo session.

Where will I get 50 lakhs?

Dear, you will have to arrange

for the money.

Otherwise you will have

to rot in the prison.

I will not go to the prison.

If I went to prison..

then my dream of becoming..

...a super star will be completely shattered.

I will somehow survive. But you won't.

I will think of a brilliant idea.

I could have never imagined!

I could have never imagined that

Piya would behave like this!

I don't know what have I done that..

...she is taking revenge from me!

She wants to send me to prison.

What is this?

I am showing you the flashback.

So that you will get a rough idea about my life.

People who live for love they are lucky.

People who die for love they too are strange.

My saga is precious. Beloved.

We are away and still we are near.

"I know.."

"Love is naive."

"Heart tends to make mistakes."

"Love is oblivious of patience."

"I know that love is naive."

"Heart tends to make mistakes."

"Love is oblivious of patience."

"I know that love is naive."

"Heart tends to make mistakes."

"Love is oblivious of patience."

"Beloved."

"Beloved."

"Beloved."

"Beloved."

If you had not given me the stupid idea..

...of eloping with Piya that night..

...then today my plight

wouldn't have been this.

I couldn't see your plight.

What did I know that Piya would

turn out to be like this?

She looked so innocent.
