By the grace of god, we still make

'jalebi's' in pure ghee.

Mr. Ramlal, are the 'pethas' fresh?

What? The Taj Mahal might have

lost its sheen in the past 50 years..

..but we make the same kind

of 'pethas'. Try it.

Gupta Sweet Shop is famous in Agra.

The business has come down from my

grandpa, my father, me and now Shyamu.

We won't get a bad name

for the family.

Budna!

- Yes, sir.

Pack 1 kg 'pethas' for him.

- Right away.

Mr. Ramlal, I've brought

Shyamu's results.

Show it to me.

Sir, I will take 1 kg of 'pethas'

along with the reward.

What's wrong?

He has ruined our reputation.

He failed once again.

What? Again?

- That's right.

Even I had failed in exams.

But he failed thrice

in the same class.

Budna! Budna!

- Yes, sir?

Don't stare at my face.

Bring that good-for-nothing to me.

He must be at a poetry recital.

"So what if I failed again."

Well said, buddy.

- Very good.

"So what if I failed again."

So what? - So what?

- So what? Nothing.

"So what if I tried hard

to no avail."

Well said, buddy.

- Fantastic!

"I might have fallen back,

but I am enjoying it, guys." - Great!

"I might have fallen back,

but I am enjoying it, guys."

"So what if I am not in a hurry."

This is excellent, buddy.

- Good! - Thank you.

Thank you. - Buddy, you're on

the right track. - Shyamu!

Shyamu!

- Who is it?

Shyamu! Your dad wants to see you.

Why is he always after you?

You dad wants to see you right now!

"Why does he call me so often?"

- Quiet. Listen to this.

"Why does he call me so often?

I don't want to meet him."

Great, buddy!

- Fantastic!

"Why does he say things

I don't want to hear?"

This is great. - "Why does

he say things I don't want to hear?"

"I am tired of listening

to the same stuff repeatedly."

"I am tired of listening

to the same stuff repeatedly."

"Either change his tone,

else I don't want to listen to it."

"I don't want to listen to it.'

- Amazing! - Get lost!

Why have you stopped?

Play the music.

Get lost! Don't stand there.

I'll hit you. Get lost!

You are early. You should've come

in the morning.

You are still awake?

I thought you would be..

What? I am in heaven?

You tried your best.

You have failed thrice

in the same class.

So I could've suffered

a heart attack.

Or I should have died

out of shame.

You don't have to study anymore.

You'll work at the cash counter

from tomorrow. Got that?

I don't want to be a confectioner.

- Is that so?

Do you want to be come

the Prime Minister?

I want to be a writer.

- Oh, I see.

You couldn't write properly

at your exams for three years.

And you tell me you want

to be a writer? Why?

I want to do something

so that people will remember me.

I want to be in the history books.

If you keeping failing in the exams,

you'll be in the history books for sure.

I want to see you at

the cash counter from tomorrow 9 am.

Else, you can't live in this house.

Got that?

God, you do something about him.

I give up.

Send someone who can

make him see reason.

"Wish she is happy all the time."

"Do not try to stop her,

she's like drifting breeze."

"She is like the flowing river."

"Like the waves on the shores."

"Lord, do not be stubborn."

"Everything is foggy in your name."

"Everything is foggy in your name."

"You can take everyone across."

"You can take everyone across."

"Dear, your eyes are mesmerizing."

"Dear, your face is

as bright as the stars."

"Dear, your bangles are tinkling."

"Dear, your eyes are mesmerizing."

"Dear, your eyes are mesmerizing."

Grandma!

Shyamu, wake up!

The sun is already up.

Budna, go wake him up.

I won't.

Are you crazy? Go on.

Shyamu.

Shyamu.

Shyamu.

- Darn you. Get lost!

You stay up all night,

and sleep like a donkey during the day.

Budna tried to wake you up thrice.

Mom, do you want to know

what I do staying up all night?

I'll recite you a poem.

I wrote it last night.

You'll go crazy listening to it.

I don't know about me.

But if you don't show up at the shop,

your dad would surely go crazy.

You know very well..

..who he vents out his anger at

if he loses his head.

"A storm is not scared of

the ruthless confectioner."

"Let him go crazy."

"A confectioner is not strong enough

to finish me off."

What do you think?

Thank God, your dad is not home.

'Thank God, he is not home.'

No. "Thank God,

he is not here at home."

"He couldn't do a thing even if he were.

My mom will make me breakfast."

"While I recite you a poem."

"So you won't go to the shop."

"Go freshen up and

then I'll serve you breakfast."

Mom, well done. My poetic qualities

have brushed off you.

Dad, you're risking pethas worth

Rs. 1500 and your son to save Rs. 150.

And you trust

this junk of a scooter.

I trust the scooter,

but not you.

It has served me well for 10 years.

Ever since you started to use it,

it has given me problems.

Ride slow.

- It doesn't go fast.

If it starts at all.

Don't just stand there.

Keep those here.

Come on. Keep those down there.

Kick the starter.

Move! Move!

This is how it is done. Ride on.

Are you all right?

Hello.

"You gave me a gift and left."

"You showed me a beautiful world

and disappeared in the crowd."

I will find you.

I promise you that.

"Can't stand that we separated

after our first meeting."

Buddy, what do we do about that?

Well, we have to find out.

- What?

Who it belongs to?

But you know that.

Yes. - So what are we

supposed to find out?

We know who it belongs to,

but we don't know who she is.

So what next?

We'll have to find out

where she lives.

Who she is? Where she lives?

What she does?

What does she eat? Where she goes often?

Where she wants to go? Everything.

Right?

- How do we do that?

Don't go to the ladies shop.

You'll get beaten up.

The old man is very mean.

- He's right.

You don't know him.

- Nothing at all.

They negotiated a lot

but bought nothing.

We are done for.

- Hello.

Tell me, how may I be of

service to you?

We wanted to find out if this

has been bought from your shop.

May or may not be.

Anything is possible.

Absolutely right.

He seems smart.

I want to know who had bought it.

I want to return it to her.

It is trending now.

I have sold about

200 pieces last week.

Half the women in Agra have it.

Who are you looking for?

Well, it's okay.

Listen!

- Yes?

Aren't you Ramlal's son?

- Yes.

Have you got the exam results?

Tell me whether you have passed

or you will be in the same class.

I told you. He asked about

your results. - Get some education.

Stop showing those clips to girls.

Where is she?

- Who?

What do we do now?

What can we do? Think of something.

Think of something.

- Think what?

Think of something.

- Do something.

We have to think of something.

Rickshaw! Rickshaw!

Rickshaw! - Why are you screaming?

- What about it? - The rickshaw driver.

Rickshaw driver?

The rickshaw driver might know.

What?

- What would he know?

Search for him. He might know.

It's possible.

- He's right.
