l'm Akash, not Sagar.

- Where are you going?

- To give Akash's letter to Pooja.

Give it to me. l'll give it.

l'm off to meet my beloved.

After much deliberation,

l've reached a decision.

After marriage a wife has

to perlorm many duties.

For example, looking after the

house, scrubbing the dishes...

lf you're willing to do all this,

l'm willing to marry you!

Ouickly answer me if

these conditions are acceptable.

l accept.

lt is accepted!

- It is accepted!

- Mom Dad...

- Young man...

- You're talking in Dad's voice!

- What is accepted?

- You didn't tell me...

Has he caught my childhood

habit of stammering?

- It got passed.

- Who?

You didn't tell them.

You sent the tender this morning.

Very good! A friend

should be like you!

You hid your friend's fault so well.

There is no limit to

this rascal's mistakes!

- How long will you cover up? He...

- Enough.

She chewed my brains at home

My eyes are pining to see the boys.

God knows what they eat!

Each day is like a decade!

My darlings! My precious!

Why are you laughing?

Am l holding your face?

- No, l'm enjoying it.

- Shut up.

Honestly the house seems

so lonely without both of you.

- The house is so quiet.

- House? The city is quiet!

There's a wanted poster for you.

Demanded reward for finder.

What have l done that people

are searching for me? Who's looking?

l'd tell you if it was one.

Every tall, short, fat, thin,...

Coming, going, every girl is looking

through binoculars for you!

l've given that up.

But why is he laughing?

Feed him and shut him up!

Don't you remember something seeing

these hills, this cool breeze?

When we came here for our honeymoon

after we got married....

We'd lie under the blanket

and talk sweet little nothings.

- Can't they be repeated?

- No!

- Why not?

- Have shame for this grey hair!

When l had no shame for black,

why should l feel shy from grey hair?

Because these are not our times.

Time belongs to our kids.

Do they take birth in planes?

How did their time come so fast?

Do you see what l see?

- Yes.

- They're not here!

- Come with me.

- l don't understand...

- There's something fishy.

- Where's the fish?

This fish is going to be

fried in our kitchen!

Where is everybody?

Who are you?

- We... are...

- Thieves?

Aren't you ashamed to be

stealing at this age?

- Do we look like thieves?

- They wear good clothes these days!

- Who can trust them?

- But child...

Where are you looking? You..

- No shame to call me child?

- Since when do you know Akash?

What's your concern?

Who are you to ask me?

- What?

- My parents.

What are you staring at?

Why don't you say something?

Had l not caught them,

they'd have wiped the house clean!

- They are my parents.

- They maybe your par...

What did you say?

So we look like thieves

in these clothes?

No. Please forgive me.

Everybody can make mistakes.

The young, old, she, you..

You ask the next question.

- Since when do you know him?

- Since l came here...

Ouiet. What's your name?

You look this way.

- What do you do?

- l run a book stall.

- Who lives with you.

- My mother, little brother.

- And?

- l'm a graduate.

When did you come?

Is everything all right?

Oh! So you are part

of this conspiracy?

- Mother..

- Come here.

After listening to all the witnesses..

This court has reached this decision..

The accused has committed the grave

sin of falling in love with Akash.

Hence this court

sentences the accused...

...to be tied together in the

bond of marriage for life!

The court's feet maybe touched.

- Where are you going?

- To get married. - Slap you?

- What are you looking at?

- When will she come home?

You are responsible for the

completion of this noble deed.

You know how much Akash

and Pooja love each other.

l know. But l also know

Akash is a millionaire's son.

l fear that this wall of

poverty and riches...

The ones who gave an orphan place

in their hearts, brought me here...

Wealth, richness, poverty

has no meaning for them.

Pooja will reign like a queen.

Dad will pamper her to the hilt.

Mother will protect her

with her maternal love.

And Akash will keep her in the sky!

Anybody who has a son like you as

their identity needs no other proof.

l accept this proposal.

By accepting you've kept my word.

- l'll take leave.

- Have a sweet.

No, l'll have it with Dad and Mom.

They must be anxious

to hear the good news.

l'd forgotten the key.

l came for it.

l don't know how we are related.

l don't know what

to call this relation.

Some relations are

better off with no name.

Wear these dear. They are a

sign of our family tradition.

They are given to the bride of

the house. They are yours now.

- First l'll go look for that

priest. - Which one?

The one who finishes the wedding

rites soon after taking a bribe.

You bribed him?

Could we ever have got married

if l hadn't done that?

- Come home early today.

- Why?

Always questions me! l've booked

3 tickets for this evening...

- You, me and Pooja.

- No. You go.

The architect is coming home

this evening. We have a meeting.

l can't come.

- Why are you working so hard?

- l'll see you in the evening.

Okay, l'm going. Work hard.

Friends, l'm grateful to you

that you called me once again.

Tonight l'm singing for you a song

composed by a young upcoming poet.

l'm confident that you will

like Sagar's new composition.

He'd come with me if he wanted.

- l just saw him there.

- You imagined it.

The Goddess of wealth comes to Laxmi

Nobody is watching. Put it in.

25 paise! Even a beggar

doesn't accept it these days.

But l do. l don't refuse wealth.

The greatest thing is cash!

Too much greed is bad.

l found a 50 rupee note in your pant.

- Keep it.

- Better to ask and keep.

Aman got dressed and

Ieft early morning.

5 paise? Money grows in this

trouser and reduces in this one!

This seems to have a lot of cash!

This looks like the ticket to a show.

That too used! l don't want it.

- Where did you find it?

- In Aman's trousers.

Wouldn't he come with me

if he wanted to?

- l just saw him there.

- You imagined it.

The architect is coming home

tonight. We have a meeting.

You go ahead. l can't come.

Why did he lie to me?

What's the reason?

Why does he stay away from me?

Can't understand it.

Can't understand it

The weather is pretty bad today.

Close the shop and go home early.

What are both of you doing there?

You'll get wet. Come in here.

Tea tastes terrific in rains.

Sit my dear. Sir you too.

Get 2 teas. Quick.

- What's wrong?

- Nothing.

Are you feeling all right?

The stranger is not seen these days.

- Has he gone back?

- No.

- Whom is he talking about?

- Aman.

- Does he know him?

- l can forget the whole world.

But not him. He'd often

come here and kill time.

And add on to my business!

- How is that?

- Tea here, eyes there.

And the bill would be 30.25.

Isn't that right dear?

Why are you laughing?
