Shall we leave? - My

driver must've delayed you, isn't it?

You guys chat..I'll just get my Laptop

VVell...whatever it may be...these are known

drivers...you're safe with them...

Not only do they listen

to you...they're also scared of you...

Nothing like that...

So what about that Honda case?

I was getting late for a meeting

so I asked him to speed up...

...normal speeding up...he banged...

This time again you told

him not to stop after banging...

...and even if he did,

Delhi Police listens only to women...

...no matter whoever's

fault it may be...

You mean I am making

them break the rules?

No no I have no problems

with that...break them...

...as long as no one gets hurt...

...in any case I send the

damages to your office so it's ok...

No it's not ok...l can take

an auto... l can manage myself...

Come on Piku; he's just saying that he

has some decent drivers working for him..

So it's my fault?

See the point is, everything is mutual...

you don't like them, they don't like you..

Did they say this?

No, but does it matter...

...when it's the truth..

Got to leave...

Okay.

There won't be a

need to take an auto...

See you..

He's rude.

Don't be so judgmentaL.

Obviously he's your friend

you are going to take his side..

It's not like that.

Sit

You know what

What?

I need a break...

...I won't come to

office for a few days.

But we have a meeting...

Piku how am I supposed

to run this firm?

Piku..listen...

Miser, we're misers, ok?

Dad. - No no no..what

Dad it's late.

Sister...

...but you didn't open the

door so I called for Dr. Srivastava...

Nothing to worry...

...a bit of shallow breathing...

pulse drop...that's it...

...Dr Mukherjee has

given him medicines...

Right now he's ok..

At his age,

we should not take any risks...

Get his tests done...

It's a must.

- Sure.

How are you young man?

How's everyone at home?

All okay uncle, what happened?

Nothing serious...he just

enjoyed a bit too much...

Yeah.. cancel my meetings.

I won't come.

- Budhan, keep the lunch simple today.

Put the pan.

Where?

On my head...

obviously on the burner...

I'll go to...

I'll go to Kolkata...

Piku.

That idiot Nobendu...

...I won't sell Champa Kunj.

How are you'?

- Mother...

I will go to Kolkata.

No uncle, I am not worried for him...

...in fact it makes

no difference to him...

...if he wants to go he'll go...he

doesn't care about anybody else.

Now do I write on a stamp paper that

I will not die during this trip...

...will that be fine.

Look at his health.

Forget logic...from here to

airport and from there to Kolkata...

It's too much Dada.

Flight?

Who said I'll take a flight?

I'll get palpitations on it...

- Give me some tea.

BP fluctuates at that height.

Bathrooms are claustrophobic

palpitation, nervousness.

It's bad for my condition.

I am not going by train certainly.

Train? Never.

Never.. never... this train movement

shakes up everything inside...

I get constipation.

That is not a good option.

Just five days back

you've gotten up from bed.

Could've died...it was

my marriage anniversary...

...why did he have to drink and dance?

And then he comes home...drinks...

Budhan why did you give him the drink?

Piku you also didn't bother.

This old man has gone senile!

Look you don't interfere.

No one is asking you.

You're my sister's husband

that's why I am concerned...

But your sister is no more..

so keep quiet.

Hey shrivastava.

There is one way.

I've an idea.

I was thinking exactly the same...

...you might get tired but

then you can stop anywhere and walk...

Correct, correct, correct.

That way things will be in control.

According to my convenience.

Yes.

So?

So nothing...done...decided!

Who'll drive that madam

from CR park to Kolkata?

Day after morning at 4.30 am...

who's duty is it?

Come on she's not bad at heart.

Alright then Dhani Ream. take

the car that has a carrier on top.

Here...take this.

Here...

Take out the other two

suitcases kept in the garage.

Budhan.

All this will not

fit in one suitcase...

...need another one.

He should be here any moment.

Where's your Driver?

I am sure he must be on his way...

...or may have stopped

for some fuel perhaps.

I've been calling you since 4 am!

I check.

Hello. - I told you my father will

be travelling too...he's an old man.

Let me talk to him...and I am not old!

- Dad.

Sorry Piku.. I can't get

through any driver just now...so.
