over here, so over there he'll..

No, India is indeed

a beautiful country.

It has its own beauty.

Yes, it is indeed

it has a lot of beauty

Like unemployment, bribery..

..Drugs, traffic,

bullets, farmers suicide..

Tell me honestly, doctor".

If India was better than Canada..

..Then would you have come to Canada?

Wouldn't you have opened

a clinic in your village?

Nothing is wrong with him.

he is absolutely fine

When I was small someone told

me that a lizard fell into eaten.

...and someone died

after drinking that water.

Fearing that I didn't

water for quite some time.

I was about to die from dehydration

Slowly everything went back to normal.

He too will be fine He doesn't

have much to worry about anyway.

My son will be fine, right?

Manveer, let's go.

Thank you, doctor.

- You are welcome.

- Let's go.

Look, don't lose hope.

At least make an attempt towards this.

Sure.

I'll talk to the prime minister.

I'll tell him,

my son needs to visit India

Please make India better

than Canada for a few days

Down with - This government.

Down with - This government.

We will destroy it!

Down with - This government.

Down with - This government.

Hello?

Hello, father.

Yes?

Hello, father.

Hello, dear. How are you?

Is everyone fine? Hale and hearty?

Yes yes. All is fine.

- How are you?

- Yes?

Father, Manveer wants

to come to Punjab.

My grandson is coming?

Brar's grandson is coming?

You have added four years

to my life by saying than.

Come quickly.

I say you just come quickly.

- But there is a small problem

- Yes?

Can we somehow show Manveer

that Punjab is better than Canada?

- Yes?

- Father?

Can we somehow show Manveer

that Punjab is better than Canada?

What's happening over there?

It's nothing. It's festive time.

People are bursting firecrackers.

At happened?

It hit my bum

I'll talk to you later. I need to run!

Run?

Like you run every day, dear.

Now I need to run. Bye.

Hit them! Hit them!

It is hurting me

You!

Leave!

- Watch out!

- It really hit me!

Stop scaring me like that!

Headman, why did you

have to do that protest?

I can't help it. I am helpless.

I need to be with the people

lf I don't then they said

that I don't support them.

He made my bum hurt.

What can I say? We too are helpless.

We get strict orders

from the headquarters

Otherwise, would we want

to hit people like you with sticks?

Our helplessness always

gets the better of us

- Here, sign over here.

- Give. Where do I need to sign?

Take this.

Yes, dear?

Did you finish your run, father?

Yes I am very tired. Don't ask.

What were you saying?

Punjab what than Canada?

We need to show its better.

What is wrong with you?

54 rupees is equal

to one Canadian dollar.

If the rupees keeps

rising every year..

...then we won't be able to

compete with it for another 54 years.

What are you talking about?

No, no, no. This is impossible.

I know it is difficult.

But Manveer isn't well.

We don't know what's wrong

They said, he has depression.

Someone told him something in school..

He isn't talking to anyone

He isn't eating anything.

He isn't saying anything.

They said that.

We will have to take him to Punjab

They say that if he

doesn't come out of it..

...then he will face more

problems once he grows up.

It's okay. It's okay, dear. Don't cry.

Don't cry, my child. Don't cry.

You shouldn't cry, dear.

I will do something

I will do something about it.

Don't worry.

Don't worry. I will do something.

Thank you, father.

Please try.

So, this is what it is in brief.

We need to change

for good for 15 days.

Okay?

I shouldn't be saying this

I don't want to say it either.

No more local brewing.

And there will be no loitering around

in the streets in a drunkard state.

This is my only request.

Oh great headman!

Just because your

grandson is visiting you..

...you want all the

villagers to stop drinking?

Is your grandson visiting u;

or some prince?

You are right.

I didn't want to say it but"

If it would be great

if you can do that.

What are you doing, uncle?

According to Canada's list,

spitting is prohibited.

No spitting?

Where do I spit then? In his pocket?

Or should I sell it in the bank?

They can use it to count money.

Today you say that I should spit.

Next, you will say

that I cannot sneeze

Then, you will say that I cannot burp

Then, you will say that I cannot fan.

In this manner,

you will stop our innate reflexes

He is right as well.

Do we wish to stop

his innate reflexes?

It is a very natural thing

Right.

He is right.

But his manners are wrong.

Listen to me.

Whatever we do we in front

of that kid, we need to be polite.

Don't spitting in

your fists repeatedly.

One more thing

Whenever you pass each other,

without differentiating..

..between male and female,

you will smile at each other.

How can anyone do that!

I will behead the one

who even looks at my wife!

He is right as well.

We should behead anyone who looks

at anyone's wife, sister daughter'.

- He is absolutely right.

- Yes.

I am your headman

I help you when you are in need.

Now it is your turn, right?

What have you done for us, headman?

You have always only

stolen from our village

You had said that you would

install computer in our village

Tell me, where are they?

- I had said so?

- Yes.

- When?

- Hey,

I must have said

so in a drunkard state.

You are unnecessarily

bringing up ghosts of the past.

Tell me,

what will you do with a computer?

Have you seen your

face in the mirror, uncle?

Do you think you can run a computer?

You should be running

a bar or something

What if you run your

computer into someone?

Mind your language.

I can even make you run,

that too without any gears

We can no longer be fooled, headman.

We won't be fooled by you anymore.

We voted for you.

What did you do?

Tell us.

You are just acting stubborn now.

What if I say that you took Rs.

1000 to vote for me?

Look at me

I have noted in my diary.

You can ask him.

I think none of you

are going to listen to me.

Let it be. I will talk to Parghat.

How can you do that?

Listen to me, villagers.

If my grandson doesn't

come here because of all of you..

...then I will be your worst enemy.

Look into my stomach.

I have so many desires! When he

will come, he will bite my stomach.

If my grandson doesn't come here..

...then you will find my dead

body in front one of your fields.

It is also possible that

I tear my veil before I die

Then don't say that the

old hag got two cases on you

Have some shame

These people respect me.

I just saw how much they respect you

None of them listened to you

If you don't listen to me,

how will they listen to me?

Be grateful that I stayed with you.

You should be grateful

that I stayed with you

You tell us not to fight

when your grandson comes over.

But both of you aren't

stopping either.

Let's go, villagers.

Hold on

You guys have stooped so low now?

Can't you change
