All of that is equally important.

But, to what extent'?

Isn't there any limit to it'?

My dad is so old and still

he has kids!

He's always got that

on his mind, 24!?!

Have you seen how red

his nose is?

He got married, within a year

after my mom died.

She's my aunt!

It was the same thing

with her, too. Constantly!

I feel sorry for her.

I felt sorry for my mom, too,

but...

I felt really bad for my mom.

But, what... no!

Well...

Bajrang, don't cry.

Bajrang!

Don't cry!

Come on, don't cry!

Forget about dad. Think of yourself.

Do you realise what a hunk you are?

If you were in our college,

the girls would swoon over you.

You know, if something scares you...

...confront it, directly.

For example, if you see a woman...

...look at her directly.

- What?

And just grin at her.

- What?

I mean, smile openly, nicely!

Okay? See, it's happening!

Grin! Just like that.

What is it? - NO, I...

We've made tea after so long!

Normally, it's every other brand.

Don't forget Smirnoff!

- Yes, that too!

But, our Arjun is a good boy.

He loves liquor.

No matter how drunk he is,

he can carry it.

He doesn't stagger around.

And he eats so neatly!

Whereas, my husband?

What is it?

- He calls Arjun, Ajrun!

He may fall! - I'm so doomed!

He's fallen down! - Hey!

Blackberries? Do you sell these, too?

No. We sell blackberry liquor.

I know, you like blackberries.

Yes. - Yes!

What's that for?

- To spit out the seeds!

I won't eat so much!

- Go ahead! Eat up!

Once you like something,

finish it off!

That's why, I finish 8 bottles

every day.

8? Growth oriented.

I'm not an ordinary man.

But, I have a thought. - What?

You set up a liquor store.

Why not start a Chemist's shop?

What a thought! Awesome.

Tell me, who drinks medicine

every day?

Does anyone do that? No, they don't!

But, one drinks liquor every day.

We're running a first class

service industry, here!

Wow! I love the way you think.

The highest mentality! - Yes.

An agricultural officer? Amazing.

But, after she marries our son,

why must she do that? - What?

Suresh will give her whatever she wants.

Hey, isn't Ramesh our son, too?

- What?

She's here. - Come on.

Why are you wearing sunglasses at home?

Because you like this.

- Oh, no.

That's not true. - It isn't?

Take them off. - No! - No!

Take them off. - No! - It's okay.

Oh, my! What happened?

We got it beached.

- It's got an L. Blee...

We got it leached. Ouch!

Hard work. We have a brick kiln, you know.

We were tossing the bricks in

when the flames hit us in the face.

So, the hair turned golden.

- Right.

You look like Angry Birds!

One moment, you were to the

registrar's office, right?

Your tongue is purple.

- What?

No. That's not what happened.

Pani puri (street food)?

You like it, right? - I do.

That's why, we got it

specially for you. - Yes.

The water is a gift from me.

And I've sponsored the puris.

It was such fun!

I wish, aunt were here. - Aunt.

She'd see how important girls are.

Forget it. Don't rake up the past.

They were such buffoons!

They are not buffoons,

they are monkeys.

Their dads are even worse than they are.

Each one is more priceless

than the other!

So, he's talking about

marrying Rupali.

They're not all that bad.

I mean, they need to grow

up a bit, but they'll do.

And Bajrang?

You should have seen him grin!

I really like him.

What? Are you really going

to get married?

What will she do, after

marriage? - They can do farming.

Farming? Do groundnuts grow

above the ground or below?

I bet those monkeys

don't even know that!

They want to farm, it seems!

What are they talking about?

Hey! Wait a minute.

Wait.

Can you swim?

- Sure! I use a pumpkin as a float.

Should I push you in?

- No, please!

Didn't you come to hit Suraj

the other day? - No.

NO? - No!

Tell me, or...

- Please don't hit me!

I hit him.

Who sent you?

I can't tell you that.

Tell me who sent you!

Kishan sent me.

Uncle. - What?

Uncle! - What?

What is it? - I'll go and check.

I didn't know you would

stoop so low.

What is the matter?

Ask him! - What?

What is it?

You sent men to hit Suraj, right?

What is this?

Who told you?

- That doesn't matter.

Yes or not?

I didn't send them to

thrash him. I just...

Forget about it.

I won't listen to anything.

I've lost my regard for you.

- What?

What...

But...

Listen to me, dear.

Let me bathe at least.

Why ask me about lunch, now?

It's not about lunch!

- What is it about?

Rupali isn't at home.

What do you mean?

Look properly.

No, I checked and I can't

find her.

You can't find her?

- No.

What do you mean?

How can she just go off?

Listen!

One moment.

- Roopali!

Listen!

- What is this? Rupali!

Kishan! - She must be here.

I'll tell her. Rupali!

She's not there. We checked.

You should have

checked, before cooking.

Listen!

- Where is my phone?

It's over there. - It's there.

Wait. Hello?

Listen! - No. - Well...

One moment, I'll check on her.

- Where are you going like that?

Where are you going

like that? - Yes!

One moment. Where are my clothes?

- Inside.

Where is my shirt? And

my trousers? - Listen, why...

Prabhakar. - Hey!

Have you seen Rupali since

morning? - No.

Where is Suraj?

- He went out in the morning.

Where did he go?

- He didn't tell me that.

I hope they didn't

elope together.

How can you jump to these

wild conclusions at once?

Our kids aren't

so crazy.

Prabhakar, my reputation is at risk

here. You have it easy!

Kishan!

Hello, vice chief?

He should be beaten up!

Slacker! Loser!

Sarpanch, this is not right.

- Yes.

You decree his punishment.

- That's right.

You are hereby ocstracised

by the village.

Forget about getting the land.

Let's see how you will live here.

- We'll see.

No, don't do that!

That's not his fault.

I won't allow you to enter my house!

Do whatever you want, to me.

But, don't treat him like this.

It's really not his fault.

We know whose fault it is.

- Be quiet, you!

Your son eloped with Rupali

and married her.

Come on, let's go.

- Come on, Ramya.

Oh, God! They are together.

Strange!

You rascal! - No!

You were trying to elope

with her! - Wait!

Wait! Wait. - You rascal!

Let him go!

Do you think, we got married?

- Of course!

How can we get married,

just like that?

We are from different

castes, aren't we?

So, you're not married?

No.

Oh, God!

- They're not married!

You're not married?

- They're not married!

They're not married!

- They are not!

They aren't married.

- Yes.

They didn't get married.

- Take the fridge back inside.

Come on, dad!

- Put it back!

Take the buffalo back in.

Put the shorts on.

On the buffalo? - You'll get

slapped! Put it on the line.

Hey, come on.

- Uncle, I was mistaken.

Rupali, I was mistaken.

You can hit me. Go ahead.

- No, it's okay.

Hit me, I said!

- It's okay!

Go ahead, hit him since

he's asking for it.

Go ahead and hit him!

- That's alright.

Alright, fine. Hey, Bajya!
