You bet.

- Let's go! - It's wasted?

It's like putting donkeys on a

bomb disposal unit. - Of course.

They can't do farming. - No way.

Farming isn't easy. - No.

They have never farmed.

- Oh, no!

So, we have to do it all over again!

How would we know?

Where should we get the information?

Who can we ask, now?

We don't know anyone...

Uncle Zumbar!

I told you, I won't get

involved in your wedding.

That's not the issue.

Uncle, we aren't here for

that. - Then, what is it?

We need something else. - Yes.

We are all farming, currently. - Yes.

Which means all of you are sitting idle.

What on earth, you...

- Bharat Rao, stop it.

We are really farming.

We are growing to harvest

bell peppers. - What?

You don't know anything.

- Wait a bit.

Multicoloured capsicums.

And we need your back

direction for that. - What?

What did he say?

- He said, be our guide.

Oh, right. - That's it.

So, the boys are finally

on the right track.

First, make three foot beds of the soil.

Farming isn't easy.

You have to sweat it out.

Next, spread the plastic and sow

the seeds at one foot distance.

This crop need less water.

So, water it sparingly. Okay?

Wow! You're really working.

- Hey, it's Rupali!

Right'? - You have to be careful,

the next few days.

We are working hard.

- We will take care. - Yes.

Hey Pint!

- What?

How about a drink?

No, thanks.

- No?

It feels really good, without it.

Did you ever imagine

you would do something like this?

You sleep blissfully, after working.

And it makes you hungry, too.

Earlier, we used to eat,

since it was time to eat.

Now, we eat since we are hungry.

This is all because of Rupali.

That's true, Surya.

A woman is very important

in one's life. - Yes.

I mean, you need a woman

besides your mom in life. - Yes.

Someone to understand you.

She explains sensible

stuff to you. - Yes.

That's why, a wife is really

important.

Bharat Rae? - What?

What are you thinking about?

Hey, look! If you link up

the stars...

...it forms a bow!

- Yes, it does.

No, silly. - What?

Look closer.

It's a plough!

A plough? - A plough.

Oh, really, it is! - Bajya!

You're right!

What's up, folks? - Bandit!

Uncle!

You're taking it easy.

Rupali is giving her exams

and you're taking a holiday!

Once the peppers grow,

you're done.

Right. - Yes.

Will you come along?

- Where?

There is a dance program

in the village nearby.

Dance?

No, forget it.

We promised Rupali. - Yes.

We won't have any vices,

till we finish farming.

That's right.

Really? - Yes.

They say a very beautiful woman

is going to be dancing.

Really? - What?

Forget it. You promised.

Don't break it.

Go on, sleep with your cameras, then.

But, she is fabulous.

Ta da!

- Fabulous?

The woman...

"Your seeds are no good."

"It's messed up everything."

"Your seeds are no good."

"It's messed up everything."

"My land is high quality...

...don't get too attached."

"My land is high quality...

...don't get too attached."

"Her land is high quality...

...why are you getting attached?"

"You sow spicy chilies...

"You put a pump on an

empty well...

...and that's your hybrid

Charade."

"You brag a lot...

"You brag a lot, but

you can't match up!"

"My land is high quality...

...don't get attached to it."

"Her land is high quality...

...don't get too attached to it."

"Your crazy heart

is a fluttering bird...

...is pining away for someone."

"Why are you depriving

yourself?"

"Why don't you feed?"

"There is talk about harvest...

"There is talk of harvest

in the resplendent fields."

"The fields are daringly open."

"My land is high quality,..

...don't get too attached."

"My land is high quality...

...don't get too attached."

"Her land is high quality...

...don't get too attached."

"Her land is high quality...

...don't get too attached."

What is it?

- Why are you looking behind?

They are all gone.

My name is Sangeeta.

What's your name?

Oh, my!

So, folks! What's up with

the farming?

Right, Surya? Ramya?

You used to laugh at me!

Let's talk, now.

Show me whatever you want.

Bring anyone in front of me.

I won't be scared, even if you

bring all of Sunny Leone!

You know, what's happened to me?

Experience is the best

teacher, if you ask me!

Hey, what is up with all of you?

Why are all of you grimacing

so unhappily?

Bajya, the crop is infested. - What?

Forget the crops and the wedding.

We can't do anything,

except moan, now.

What happened overnight?

We lost it!

Rupali knew this soil

won't yield a harvest of this.

That's why,

she made us choose this crop.

She didn't want to marry us.

Here you are.

Ramya, take this. - What is this?

Bajya! - It's all ruined.

Bharat Rao, take this. Cheers!

What are you doing? We promised.

Forget the promise! - Yes.

Here, you drink it too.

We're ruined, anyway.

Here, drink this. You drink this, too!

I'll make sure they are all

drunk! Drink up!

Farming was such a waste of time!

Hey!

See, what has happened!

Our plants are better!

Oh, no! They perked up like

me after the drink!

Hey! The crop is safe!

Surya, Ramya! Bajya!

Bharat Rao! The crop is safe!

The farm looks so amazing!

Yes, that's right.

But, what is that smell?

- You can smell it too?

The fine quality peppers have

an odour. - I see.

Yes. - Yes!

Really? I've a BSc in Agriculture.

I studied all this.

Tell me, what is that smell?

It's liquor.

Did you drink?

He got drunk! - We didn't.

Besides, he put some in the

crops, too. - What?

No, actually, the crops

were diseased. - Okay.

And, in the chaos, I ended up

giving the plants liquor.

They were cured. - Yes.

Yes.

That's when I sprayed liquor

on all the plants.

Which is why I deducted

5 marks each.

Erase that. What?

They have got it!

See! Basically, you used your minds...

...and used things around you

to sort problems out.

And that worked!

You bet! I have been saying

that liquor is important.

Are you done? Don't fly so high.

No! - Okay, don't do that again.

There's another thing. - Yes?

See, how and where you can sell these.

Yes! - This is export quality crop.

That's why, you get the day off!

- What?

Go home and rest.

Look, we have here in this field...

...multicoloured bellpeppers

grown by us.

Yes. Look at this! It's so plump!

Alright, I'll come and survey it

in two days.

Oh, wow! He's Marathi!

Hello, I'm Bharat Rao Zende,

the vice chief of Tekawade.

But, it doesn't belong only to me.

- What?

You have to buy all our crops.

- Yes.

I will buy it, if it is a good crop.

See you, then.

So, you can use the iPad for

other stuff!

You bet! All you did was

watch tussling videos, so far.

Come on, it's time to go home.

- Yes.

Yes, let's go, Bajya. - Yes.

No, you can carry on. I will follow.

What is your problem?

You're such a loser!

Come on! - Let's go. Come on!

Come on, let's go. - Let's go.

It's done. - Put the peppers back.

Here's the special pepper.

- Hold that.

Uncle, both of us have passed!

- What?
