Hey, as if you smell good.

You always stink.

She is just joking, son

Here son, this is your

wedding reception's invite.

Wedding reception?

Reception? It was not needed, mother.

You should give the

money to the poor instead.

Or you could have gotten

group weddings done.

You don't want a reception?

You got married and settled in Canada

I have given around Rs.

2.5 lakhs as gifts.

Don't I have a right to recover it?

It's a desire, dear.

Of the villagers as

well as the relatives

Yes. Now if everyone is insisting

then for how long can we refuse?

And then, Manveer is also here

He will get a chance to attend

his parents' wedding reception.

You also complete you wish.

What is wrong with her?

I think she felt shy after hearing

us talk about the wedding reception

But the way she got up,

she didn't look shy.

Now in what proper manner

should she feel shy for you?

- This is how a tired person feels shy.

- True.

Let's go home now.

Bye.

Let's go to the bar then

No, I mean the fields.

- Let's go. Let's go.

- Hurry up

Drink it, there's a sip left.

Let's go.

Stan moving now.

Finally.

What is this function?

It's just like a wedding reception

Villagers just eat

and have a gala time.

I didn't ask for a definition.

I am asking for the reason.

Why did they keep this party, Parghat?

I don't know.

I too was surprised

to hear about it, Jessica

My meal came up from my stomach

Oh God.

One lentil's dish..

Two dry veggies and chicken

That's all people would like to eat.

It's no use telling this idiot

anything I am going to meet the cook.

Okay, okay. You have to stop them.

Please Please, Parghat.

Just stop them.

Well, I will try.

But it's not in my hands.

It is all your fault.

If you wouldn't have

insisted on coming here..

...then they wouldn't have

printed the wedding invites

It is so difficult for me too.

Think about it.

I will be sitting with

someone's future wife

It's okay.

We will somehow manage this difficult

situation with a smile on our face.

Oh please

I don't know what have

I gotten myself into.

She says I felt shy. Don't feel shy,

this is your own house

She loves me a lot.

Look, how much your

parents love each other.

- Don't they, son?

- Yes.

The dinner was so tasty, mother.

I swear, I was yearning to

eat the food cooked by my mother.

Yes

I didn't cook it, son.

My daughter-in-law cooked it.

Oh really? But you must have

been standing next to her, right?

Even a mother's shadow

makes the food tasty

Yes, son. I was standing close to her.

- She is very nice.

- Yes.

When she came, she said I

will do all the household chores.

Cooking, handling the dung cakes.

Cleaning the utensils.

She is very affectionate.

- Let's go to bed, son.

- Yes.

Okay?

But we won't let her do it,

will we, mother?

We will handle it on our own

- We won't let her work

- No.

- And son..

- Yes?

I am not like my mother-in-law.

Two days after my marriage,

she tied her veil on her head

She said she is an asthma patient.

She stayed alive for another 10 years.

Nothing happened to her.

She was as healthy as a horse.

She was waiting for my mother to die.

When we got her eyes operated.

...she had kept the stove

right next to her bed.

The smoke gave her

eyes an asthma attack

Oh my mother!

Don't teach him bad things.

As if she was a good human being.

It was only me how managed

to survive living with her.

And plus you and your family.

And plus you and your family.

- Shut up. You better shut up

- Crazy guy.

She was good for nothing

and she is finding faults in others.

Stop it, father.

You are the smart one.

Dear, is this how you fight with him?

Tell me

No.

- No.

- No. No..

We don't fight.

Why will we fight? She is very good.

Only fortunate ones get such wives.

She doesn't eat till

I don't come home

Really?

- Yes. Yes.

- And what about him? Tell me

Do you have any

complaints against him?

Tell him that I too am good.

Yes. He is very good

He does much more than what

a wife expects her husband to do.

My son is very nice.

But let me tell you something.

There are many people

here who marry Canadian girls..

...to get permanent residency.

Let me tell you

They are very selfish.

You are absolutely right, father.

- Enough, Jessica

- Such boys are very..

What are you guys talking about?

Tell him about the time.

...in the zoo when the

monkey snatched your ice cream

I had scolded the monkey.

Talk about good things

Happy couples are those who have

done good deeds in their past lives.

- Enough, enough.

- Look at them.

Learn something from them

Here, garbage down your medicines

What do you mean by garbage down?

I mean, please have your medicines.

Oh so sweet.

Such sweetness,

I hope you are not offering me poison.

Poison won't kill you.

- Oh no.

- Lovely. You are amazing.

What are you saying

in front of the kids?

Have some shame

You have one leg in the grave

The legs are in the grave,

but my head it still out.

You think you are very smart?

Drama

Papa.

I want to go to school.

We came to India but

you don't go to school.

Now you say that you

want to go to school.

Now do you want me to go

to Canada to drop you off to school?

Go to sleep.

I want to see the

school of this village.

What?

Let me teach a few of

them a lesson until they come

No, sir.

Listen to me..

Let me hit one of

them until they come.

Both of us will feel better.

Use your brains sir.

We have to do a drama

According to Canadian schooling.

...beaming them up makes

them lose their confidence.

They are the future of our country.

If you teach them properly, our

country won't move towards darkness.

- They are the future of our country?

- Yes. Then what!

Think about yourself as well.

We have got the grant.

You can get a transfer.

Country's future, no.

They are our future.

Right.

Stand up, Futures.

Today the present saved you.

Go on, boys.

But how will I teach

them without beating them up?

No, you cannot beat them up

Make them your friends.

- WhatsApp madam.

- Yes?

Listen to him

He says make these

kids your friends Friends.

Yes, of course. They are our friends.

This means madam is also our friend?

- Your friend...!

- Oh it hurts!

It's only for a matter of minutes

Then it's back to your

stick and their hands.

- Right.

- Okay.

Yes

Uncle, he has arrived. Let's start.

Today's news

The government will pardon

all the dues of the farmers

Punjab overnight become

the world's No. 1 state.

Peoples from America, Canada and

Uganda wants to get settled in Punjab.

Wi-Fi free in the whole of Punjab.

name for no reason at all.

Everyone reads newspapers and books

Good riddance.

They are here They are here

- WhatsApp madam they are here.

- Stan teaching Hurry up.

Hurry up. Stan reciting the poetry

- One two..
