It's that big?? - Yes.

Mr. Monu, have you taken it to any expert for evaluation?

We don't need to get it evaluated, Mr. Sunny. We are aware of its value!

Oh, I see!

I so wish I could see it once!

That's easy! I'll show you the day you come to my place.

Why then? Why not before that?

Before that? How can I...

You see, that stone is our household deity.

He remains safe in the prayer room, under lock and key!

How sad!

Anyway, forget about that!

Listen, Jhonti.

How did you like this?

I already told you.

It's exquisite!

Then take it. It's yours!

No, no! I couldn't!

This is your family heirloom after all!

And its priceless. I can't accept something this valuable!

But sweetheart...

Valuable things like this look good on you! Put it on!

Just see how beautiful it looks on you!

It really is very beautiful!

I don't know what to say!

You don't have to say anything! Look! Your food's here!

Anyway, time for me to leave! I have an early morning flight!

Don't worry about it!

And besides, I have no intention of being the third wheel here!

Enjoy your meal, Mr. Monu!

Ciao! - Bye!

We'll catch up over the phone! - Okay!

What's wrong, Monu?

Tell me!

My appetite's gone!

I get it!

You're jealous!

Come on, darling!

Come on, darling! Please look at me!

You see this?

This will remain here...

This will remain here... Close to my heart...

And this, on the other hand...

Where have you taken my necklace? Where??

Since I'm the only thief in this house...

... I guess it's very easy to suspect me.

I don't want to suspect you!

I don't want to suspect you! But who else is there?

You tell me?

That's a start!

I'm grateful knowing that you don't want to suspect me.

But if I had really taken your necklace...

... do you think I would have returned?

Where are you going?

I have to tell Grandpa.

I have to tell Grandpa. He needs to know!

Everything? - Yes, everything! I tricked him...

... and this is the result!

Just a minute.

Can I make a request?

Request?

Its very late now.

Don't tell him anything tonight.

If you don't get back what was stolen by tomorrow morning...

... tell him then.

Please?

Alright.

Tomorrow morning then.

Not a moment beyond that.

Who is it?

Who is it??

I'm coming!

You??

Shut the door.

Shut the door. - Why?

Where... did you get this?

That is not important.

What is important is who you gave this to: Lily.

She is a very dangerous woman. She preys on rich, single men.

That is her profession!

You rascal! So you went to her place and stole it from her...?

Just you wait! - Where are you off to?

To tell Grandpa!

To tell Grandpa! - That's great! I'll come with you. Let's go!

Huh? - Yes.

You tell him what you have to, and I'll tell him what I have to!

What will you tell him?

Your grandfather will be happy to know who you gave your sister's new necklace to! Let's go!

Leave! Get out of my room!

There's still time, Manmatha.

If you go any further, you might not be able to show your face in public anymore.

Yes, Lily!

What??

How??

No, no! Let's not get the police involved!

I'll look into it. No, it's alright. I'll look into it myself!

I'll call you back a bit later. Alright?

How can I ever...?

So, you heard everything?

I hope you won't have to tell your grandfather anything now.

What am I supposed to tell him?

That my brother is a thief?

One can't really blame him.

He is unknowingly mixing with bad people.

I understand now...

... whom Dada spends so much money on!

Can I say something?

What?

It won't be right of me to stay in this house any longer...

Why??

Last night, I had to resort to stealing again.

This addiction...

... is a very complicated addiction, you know?

So you see...

I won't ever suspect you of anything again.

Maybe you're saying that now...

... but the next time something goes missing in this house...

... you'll go back to suspecting me again.

Forget about it.

What's the point?

I don't want to add to your problems.

You don't have to worry about my problems.

You don't have to worry about my problems. - Of course I have to!

After everything you have done for me...

After everything you have done for me... - Yes!

If you have the capability to understand what I have done for you...

... you won't leave.

I won't?

Your neckla...!

Good morning!

There's nothing good about it!

The paper's filled with news of murder, accidents and...

Now, what was going to ask you...?

Isn't day after tomorrow Mahalaya? - Yes, Sir.

Good grief!

Nanda! Nanda!!

The Puja shopping hasn't been done yet!

What do we need to buy?

What do we need to buy? - How am I supposed to know all that?

That is Nanda's department!

Before the Pujas and Holi, a shopping spree occurs!

New clothes for ourselves and for everyone working in this house. Its a time of...

Are we going Puja shopping today?

Do you want to go today? - Hmm!

So go on then! - And you?

Leave me out of it, dear. My knee still isn't completely...

Where is Manmatha?

Have you ever seen him awake before 10am?

Being lazy is a side effect of having Ketu in the Ascendant.

Why don't you take Dibakar along?

Alright. I just need someone to come along.

Sebak!

If we can make a list of what to buy...

If we can make a list of what to buy... - I have the list ready.

Of course you do!

You called, Master?

Tell Binoy to get the car ready.

Binoy? He's on holiday.

Binoy? He's on holiday. He'll be back to work after Mahalaya.

Oh yes! That's right! I had completely forgotten!

What now?

You can go shopping after he gets back to work.

If you don't have any problems, I could take her shopping.

You? You can drive?

Yes. I drove a taxi for a short span of my life.

Amazing!

You are quite the Jack of all trades!

And why won't you be? You're an Aries, after all!

Do you have a driving license?

Do you have a driving license? - Of course!

What are you waiting for?

Go out and get it over with!

Give me 5 minutes!

You want me to fire Dibakar? But why?

I don't like him.

You don't like him?? Do you have a reason for that?

Reason...?

Because... - There has to be a reason!

He is a good, hard-working boy.

That Bhuban was a crook!

After Dibakar arrived, our weekly expenses went down by half!

But still...!

He is...

... a rogue!

A rogue?? - Yes!

Can you show me any evidence to support your words?

What evidence? I know that he is not a good...

What evidence? I know that he is not a good... - No, Monu.

You have no right to call someone a rogue if you don't have any evidence against him!

If you can prove his guilt, I will get rid of him at once!

But...

... I won't even disown house pets without a valid reason.

What does your shopping list say?

Complete!

Complete! - Great! So we can go home now?

You're in a hurry to get back home!

You're in a hurry to get back home! - Not really! But after this entire shopping episode...

Our funds are pretty dry now so if you enter one more shop, we'll be broke!
