Kal Ho Naa Ho
New York... one of the biggest cities
in the world
Business capital of the world.
Every breath of the city...every
heartbeat is filled with speed
People are always in a hurry here...
in a hurry to leave home...in a hurry
to reach the office...
always in a hurry to be a
step or two ahead of life
There is no place for anyone
who can't cope here
Miles away from lndia, this city
is infested with lndians
In fact they say every fourth face
in Newk is an lndian
One more thing...
Oh... by the way that's me!.
This city taught me
to be independent...
it taught me to fulfill
my responsibilities...
taught me to face life...
...but it couldn't teach me to love...
where was the time?
Whenever I watched the
city from far...
I felt Papa was closer
Whenever I missed him,
I came here
and this is my story
I understand Mr.Shah,
but try and understand my problem
I must have the loan extension, please.
I know the restaurant
is centrally situated.
But there's competition
around, Mr. Shah...
My mother, Jennifer.
After Papa passed away...
the entire responsibility
of the family fell on her
But she never allowed us to ever
feel the burden of her sorrows
Thank you...I.
- I'm home.
Where were you?
Central Park
Central Park? Why?
To meet someone.
- Who?
To meet my boyfriend...
Bill...bills...bills
Private & confidential.
That's mine.
What is this?
It's Sweetu's mail again
When will the mailman understand
that we are Kapur with a ' U'...
and they are Kapoor with an 'O'?
He always...
Were you crying?
No... you were crying...
No mom.
My mother and l...
We lied to each other everyday
Kunwari kudi
Kunwari kudi marriage bureau,
what's this?
Why don't you ask your grandmother?
It must some new plan
to find you a groom
But I don't want to get married...
Why doesn't Dadi leave me alone?
Why doesn't she just leave?
Mom! Where's she?
It's going to be eight...
Hi Guys, 10 seconds to go.
8 seconds to go.
4,3,2,1....bang.
My grandmother Lajjo...
She had three dreams
One that Newk
becomes a part of Punjab
Two, that I marry a Sardar
and three... that my mother dies
Saraswatiji, Lata, Asha and Usha have
served you with their music for years
But from today Kammo,
Vimmo and l, Lajjo...
Hello! will serve you.
So without delay further we are
going to present you a song
The words are ' Pritam come hither...'
The song is specially requested by
our neighbour, Chaddaji from Queens...
That's very kind of you
Kammo... Vimmo...
Go Lajjo...
Go Lajjo...
Pritam, come hither...
Pritam, come hither...
My sad heart calls out to you...
Pritam, come hither...
Come hither... Come hither...
Dadi!....Stop it.
Oh God! Interrupted our prayers?
Insulted the goddess?
Don't you have any shame?
Don't you have any shame?
Singing 'Come hither'
'Come hither' to Chaddaji?
Who's singing it to Chaddaji?
We are singing ' Pritam, come hither'
What is his first name?
- Pritam....
And what is this?
What? - This.
Wow! Pictures from Kunwari Kudi!
All three of them are so goodlooking
Three? They look
like the same guy
No, no my child...
they are different
Now what is that Kunwari kudi ad?
Hey girl, Hey Girl, hey Girl...
choose your groom and be free
Choose one, two or three
Dadi, I am not interested in marrying
anyone... one two or three
If you don't marry, my child,
how will you have children?
I can have my children.
There's no need to marry
My brother Shiv, a handicap.
He couldn't play basketball
like the other boys...
but he could be quite irritating
like the other boys
Shiv, put off the T.V.
Whenever I see,
it's always basketball!
Just because I can't play
doesn't mean I can't see...
Don't get cute with me.
All right. Hurry up.
Gia, help your brother.
Didi, did you see my new dolls?
- Gia!
This is Mama, this is you...
this is bhaiyya, this is me and...
Oh, so you are awake...!
Looking so good...
Iike Hari Putter...
Harry Potter, dadi...
Ya ya... whatever... Hari, Harry...
Good morning, dadi.
- Ya Ya...
What's your schedule today?
Dadi's love for Shiv was only
matched by her hatred for Gia
Gia was adopted and probably that's why
Dadi did not consider her, our own
And Gia... She always kept the
Dadi doll away from her perfect family
Distance was not just
between the two in the family...
their own battle in the house
It's so cold! Is the heater on?
You are always on, aren't you?
What?- Nothing!
Will it?- Shut up.
Bet? - Don't irritate me.
Chicken is just 1 dollar.
What's for breakfast?
- Fruit and cereal
What? - Cereal...
Has it started? The serial
Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki...?
Not the TV serial...
the cereal we eat
So what's new?
That we eat everyday
Poor daughter-in-law... she doesn't
know how to make lndian food
Our dear daughter-in-law, Jenny
Do you know, Naina?
I saw a lovely dream last night
In the dream, I was eating
hot aloo parathas...
with lots of white butter
Oh... how I missed Chandigarh!
If you miss Chandigarh so much
then you must go away there
What do you think Naina?
I'm going nowhere. If I leave,
what will happen to these children?
And I'm concerned only about them
Yes of course... why would
Who am I to you?
If only my son was alive today...
Only if he was alive...
Stop it. Just stop it.
Here's your dollar. You won.
As usual, are you happy now?
And both of you...just forget it.
My morning began
this same way everyday
Mama and Dadi's fight,
followed by my angry walkout...
and then listening to my stupid
neighbour, Sweetu's stupid chatter
Oh Hi!- One minute.
Okay, make that 2 glaced doughnuts,
2 blue berry muffins.
2 chocolate frappechinos.
And what will you have?
Sweetu. Full name, Jasprit Kapoor...
Kapoor with two '0's.
my neighbour....
& unfortunately best friend.
She has two problems.
The weight that she never loses...
and the fact that she
Tell, Na...
- One double expresso please.
Here's your letter.
It came again to our house
Your name had to be J. Kapoor...
Oh wow Naina! Blind date application.
- What application?
It's a very cool service...
it's very popular in Newk
Just fill in a form describing
the guy of your choice...
write something about yourself...
they match the details and bingo,
you get the guy...!
Wow! And what have you written
about yourself?
See Naina, I have written
what's the truth... what is... is
What did you write?
That from far,
I look like Aishwarya Rai...
And up close,
like Aishwarya Rai's house
Oh my god!
- Just look at me....
Oh my god! Just look at him
Look at me. I'm out of control.
- He's so cute.
Sweetu, look at me...
- I see you everyday...
He's so cute...
- Shut up...shut up.
Boys, boys boys...
That's all you are interested in
What will happen?
You will get the boy you want...
you will get married, you will
have his children and then...
