I swearl didn't know

Daddy, you're great

That Vyomkesh may have

been a great hero

But this is the 3rd strike

ever since I came here

Only yesterday, we decided

to stay back here

Have you been

here for a month?

Actually more than a month!

More than 45 days

You seem to

have travelled a lot

Yes, we have

Are there strikes

in other places too?

No

What are the places

you've visited?

We are visiting

all the temples

My wife doesn't know Tamil

She is from Kutch

And I don't know Kutchi

So, what language do you speak?

Gujarathi or Kutchi?

Kutchi

It seems you know

many languages

"Whateverl wish to speak, beau

should be spoken by you"

"Day and night

we should interact!'

Come here

Vyomkesh, how old is Pyali?

She was born in

Gujarat, 4 years ago

Pyali, come and

play with me

They don't have a common

language to communicate

Can you ask him how he

professed his love to her?

Vyom, Nani wants to

ask you something

Go ahead

In what language did you

tell Lajju you love her?

Language is

no barrierfor love

Only the experience counts

- Did you understand that?

- No

Language is no barrier for love

Only the emotion counts

Pyali, come here

What are you looking at?

Are you wondering why I have

2 watches on my wrist?

One has the time

at which I found her

Other is the time that

we are living together

I've been using sign language

to communicate with her till now

But I want to ask her

something now

Before that, can I

ask you something?

Tell me

How did you get a baby if you

had no common language?

Why do we need

a language for that?

We've achieved

the impossible

Isn't this do-able?!

What do you

want to ask Lajju?

Ask her what

she likes about me

- ls that all?

- Yes, that's all

Lajju, what do you

like about him?

I like his moustache

So cute

- She likes your moustache

- Oh! Really...?

Look at this

Try smelling it

Coffee powder

Just imagine Vyom

and Lajju's situation

Without a common

language to communicate

Actually, it is ideal

They'll both have

peace of mind!

Otherwise the wife

should be like Hari

Who doesn't open his mouth!

Sir, are you tired?

Keep walking

How old are you, sir?

By next year I'd have

seen 1000 full moons!

So are you 100?

No, I am 84

Maybe my calculation

is wrong again!

- Sister...?

- I'm coming

Sister...brother Mustafa is here

Let me come in first

Little devil, is your

circumcision over?

Move aside

Master, come in

Please sit down

Come in, sister Nani

ls there a bathroom?

You want to

Just pee into the water

Your urine won't increase

the salt in the water

But if you want to crap...

...go the other side or

your pants will get wet

No need

What happened?

Hari, rub her

back for her

It is because she isn't used

to travelling on water

Yes

It is because

of the wind

as a teacher for 35 years

Her students are

like our own children

I went to Trivandrum only to get

a certificate attested for a student

Do you see that building...

...with the flat tiled roof

and white compound walls?

That was where my wife, Sharad ha,

Ramani, Thomas and I lived in hiding

When the case was over,

my wife and I decide to live there

Later on, she insisted on giving it

to our fellow party members

Now it is our favorite office

for our political party meetings

She has suffered a lot of

torture from the police

That's why she suffers from

repeated asthma attacks

She cooks excellent gravy of mackerel

with buttermilk which is very popular

She won't allow any guest

to leave without eating

That's her nature
