He's not listening.

Son-in-law.

How long will you keep

milking the cattle?

What should I do, then?

Start thinking of

having a kid, now.

You've been married for 12 years.

- Right.

We are getting embarrassed

in public.

Why are you embarrassed

if I can't have a kid?

Mangal, I told your mom! The men

from this village are no good.

But, no way! He's a good

man, it seems!

What should I do

with the man, now?

Wipe the tea off your moustache.

Or the ants will swarm all over.

Brother, why do you keep

talking about that?

We're doing fine.

Really? - Yes.

God willing, we will have

a child, too.

Forget about God! Your husband

has to be willing, first.

Bro...

We've been through umpteen tests

with the same number of doctors!

Should I keep hankering

after that?

Rani!

Uncle, listen to me.

- Sure, tell me.

Let's clean up a little here.

That's okay.

Why don't you think about it?

- What do you mean?

I mean, give your Mangal

a sweet little brother!

We'll take care of him.

If you don't want to talk

about it, that's the last word!

I would like that!

Listen to me, I'm telling

you one last time.

What is it?

Sell all of this and come

to our village.

Does moving there guarantee

having kids, automatically?

What the...

Mangal! What's for breakfast?

I can't talk to him, he's too

insulting. - Make semolina pudding.

Brother, you're too willful.

Why do you go after him?

You know what he's like!

Okay, so what?

Now, don't get all cranky.

Have some tea before you leave.

I told you, I don't

want any tea.

See if you can get any money

for the milk, today.

That's what I'm going for.

Sister-in-law will be coming

over, right? - Yes.

We have to arrange for the cowshed

too, right? - I remember that.

Take the milk pail in.

See if he can leave, today.

Bring that here.

Kishan! Can't you watch

where you're going?

Fool! You numbskull! He's bashed

up your BMW!

Kishan! What have you done?

I just couldn't brake

the bike. - How is that possible?

You've dented it.

- What?

You dented it!

Look at that! - Yes.

How's going to pay for that?

I will never do that again.

If that happens again, you won't see

this mosquito repellent spray.

Wait, let me teach you

a lesson.

No! Not that. - She's here!

Bajranga!

Bajrang!

Listen, Bajrang, I want to

give the milk.

Go ahead, then.

There's the dairy.

Can I take your leave?

Why don't you take it?

I won't take it.

Can I leave?

Watch out, sir.

- Listen...

Why does he always do that?

Why do you always do that?

Aunt Shidore? - Listen to me.

You know, he's shy of women.

Right?

Listen to me. - Yes!

I wonder, how will he marry?

Listen to me!

- Now, you can't...

...be shy of women,

can you?

Pat. - See?

Now, see, when the whole

world was created...

...there was only one man

and one woman!

If the man had felt shy of the

lady at that time...

Right? If he were shy...

...would it be possible to populate

the entire world?

Oh, my God!

You're just too much!

I want money.

- For what?

For milk, that's what!

- Whose milk?

I give you milk every day, right?

I'm owed money.

How can I pay you?

You've already taken

so many loans. What about those?

You've been deducted the

money, for the past 3 months.

That's the interest.

- Listen to me, please.

What's the deal with the

principal amount?

I've to perform my brother's

annual memorial rites. Help me.

I've had two kids,

despite my advanced years.

Take a leaf out of

your dad's book!

Here.

That's Rs. 200 extra.

That's okay. I'll adjust it.

As always. I'll see you around.

Bye, Kishan!

Oh, God! All I ask is for my

body to be fit.

And specifically, let my

liver function really well.

I don't wish

for anything else.

Praise the Lord.

Sorry, I've slipped up.

Dad, what's up with you

early in the morning?

Should I tell mom? Should I?

Don't do that. Your mom...

- What?

I just told her yesterday,

that I've quit drinking.

Listen, I won't have you saying

terrible things like that.

Why? And switch that off.

Put on something nice!

Why don't you play Kumar G?

Yes!

' Yes!

That's what I'm talking about.

My boy.

What are you doing?

- What?

You had a drink! You drank!

My boy! You're going to have

kids in the future.

They will sit and drink with you!

Those kids will have kids

and they will drink together!

This legacy will live on!

We're doomed!

- Stop it. That's enough.

Don't howl early in the morning.

I don't think I'll get married

in this life, not in this village.

What's up, boss?

Have you had your first cup

of tea for the day?

Get lost, you!

Great.

Aunt Vatsala!

I'll be there.

Stop yelling!

Why can't you be ready?

- Yes.

Here.

- Okay, here's a thought.

Why do you need so much

milk, every day?

Your husband and the boy

are already hitting the bottle.

I have two cats, you see.

It's for them.

How does it matter to you?

You're so nosey!

Wretched milkman! He has to crib.

- No wonder they can't pay.

I have...

Sir.

- What?

I need some cash.

Can you arrange for it?

The school board has an

education committee. I'm on that.

On what?

- The body.

Which body?

- The education committee.

And the elections are

approaching.

So, I'll need money.

You give me some.

Sir, it's my brother death

anniversary.

How did your brother die out of

the blue, without prior notice?

I guess he forgot to inform you,

before he passed away.

And here you are, asking for

cash! That's just not done!

It's the anniversary rites.

Can't you... - Kishan.

He said no, right?

- Yes.

Leave.

- Go on.

There he goes!

- Go on.

This one just has women

tussling with each other!

Ram, who are you chatting with?

She's my Face book friend and

she's really slick!

What's her name?

- Allina DaCruz.

DaCruz?

- Yes. She's from Germany.

Is she fair?

- Just a little.

She said, she'll be right back.

- Oh, doggie!

How much for this load

of bricks?

A truckload of bricks is for 20,000.

- 20,000? That's okay.

Who are those two boys,

who are dressed alike?

My employer's sons.

They're twins.

They're born just ten minutes

apart.

But, they look really different.

Yes. One takes after mom

and the other, after uncle.

What?

They call their dad,

uncle!

What do they call their uncle,

then?

Their uncle...

That's none of your business!

Hey!

- Come on. - Uncle is here.

Surya, Ramya. What about

the Vodaf collections?

Uncle, we'll get it in

the evening.

What about the bricks?

The ones which were baked too

long and got charred?

You just can't focus

on your work!

Hello, sir.

- Hello.

I want to build a cowshed.

Congratulations!

Go for it.

That's why I'm talking to you.

- What?

What if I pay for the bricks,

sand and material...

...the next month?

Will that do'?

Build it the next month, then.

When you have money. Let's go.

I really need it.

- Hey, Kishan. - Yes.

Didn't you understand

what uncle said?

He has lots to do.

Get going.

Go on. Leave.

- Go on.

Ram, watch it.
