Shuddh Desi Romance Page #4

- Who is coming?

- Just go!

Don't let him pee.

He's planning a bathroom visit

I need the bathroom

- After the ceremony

- Can't hold it that long

Don't be stubborn

I can't wait

Be a good boy!

- I won't move

- But why?

I'll give you one

Move aside

What's going on?

Gayatri has gone

Where to?

The bathroom. To smoke

So where is she?

She's run away

You can pee now

A cold soda!

Offer my client a drink

How many sodas have you had?

Same number as my clients

I'll sell him your Benarasi veils

New stock tomorrow. Bring him back

And my money? New clients, eh?

I'll pay. Don't you trust me?

A man whose bride jilted him...

...can't trust God.

So how can he trust you?

His bride ran?

She dumped him? He never said

So? She didn't rob you

How are you?

You oddball! Vanished from sight?

It may surprise you,

but weddings terrify me

Gayatri isn't in Jaipur now

She left your suitcase with me.

Pick it up

Shove that suitcase!

I was backing out.

You sweet-talked me. Got me caned

You caned someone, too

Caned with your own stick!

Score even now

What do you earn now? Peanuts!

Earn double as a groom's guest

- No more weddings

- One more. Then stop

A grand wedding coming up.

Charging double, paying double

You'll get a new suit and a gold chain

You lost one girl at a wedding,

you'll meet another there

Don't wish that on me, please

I'm off to Ajmer tomorrow

on a pilgrimage

That's where the wedding is

Go to the shrine with a free ticket

and a gold chain

What time do you leave?

That's more like it!

The groom's family are in the bus.

Hop on

Must we go with them?

They reek of perfume

Go! Make sure no one drinks.

Keep my honour

As if you kept mine

Didn't even let me pee

Isn't that her?

Make sure you get her this time

Tasty food at your wedding

Get into the jeep. I'll take the bus

I want to talk to her

To say what?

To say sorry

She'll give you a tight slap.

Say sorry!

Get into the jeep.

Hurry!

Remember that song?

Rajesh Khanna's Queen of my dreams,

where are you?

Sing a Gulzar song,

if you want more emotion

She has the right to hit you.

But why hit me?

I'll smash your face next time

You almost broke my shades

Welcome to my humble city!

No formality!

We're only came from nearby Jaipur

Tell me where's the gents toilet?

The toilet? It's busy

Never mind. We're in-laws now.

Life is all about adjusting

- What can I get you?

- The gold chain

- Let the ceremony start

- It won't! You brought...

the mother of wedding spoilers

An international joke, sir

The groom's Dubai cousin

- A splendid wedding

- With your blessings

The groom's cousin

We know her well

Patience, my child

Sadly one stumbles

across wicked folk in life

May I show you the bathroom,

to freshen up?

The samosas are cold,

the tikkis are soft

The pompadums are ok.

Guzzling free food, you bums?

She's a relative

The groom's cousin

First you dump her, now you ogle

Why didn't you warn me?

I didn't know.

I only knew who was coming with me

You had better slip away

- What about my gold chain?

- Shut up!

The boy is ripe for marriage.

Or he'll be up to no good

Kishorilal, how are you?

Give me a paan

What news?

Does your older son

write from America?

Does he call?

That's great.

Children happy, parents happy

You're standing? Bring a chair!

Are you family?

What is he doing here?

I came with the groom's party.

I'm going to the Ajmer shrine...

---t Pay my respects

A sheer coincidence. I usually...

...avoid weddings

Listen, my son

- Come with me, please

- You come here!

But I am here

- What's going on?

- Nothing yet

But it soon will

What Will?

Come this side, please

- You come here

- I am here

I've waited ages to settle scores

with this moron

Boys!

Avenge your sister today

Did I ask you to do anything?

You don't need to

Have we no self-respect?

Your parents gave us

your responsibility

When?

When did they do that? Time and day?

I forget

They died in an accident in Delhi.

You weren't there

So what? Your responsibility

fell on us, right?

You're a distant uncle

who I met at weddings

Only the non-veg ones

Whatever happened is my problem.

Hejilted me

So please don't act on my behalf

This is my cousin's wedding

Not your vendetta party

Here

Money for your return

There's no need for that

You're our guest. It's our duty

Now go, please

Get him a cold drink!

Start the music!

Come on

Ticket?

What for?

- To ride on this bus

- So throw me out

In this desert?

Shouldn't be a conductor

if you're soft-hearted

- A soda

- Which one?

They're all the same

Give me a chance to explain

Explain what?

I didn't think before agreeing

Ten minutes before the ceremony,

I freaked out

You had come to see me

before the marriage

Why did you say yes then

Then I thought

such a beautiful girl...

How will I find again?

So you agreed without thinking

While you were garlanding me,

or hesitating to...

...a girl was watching you

She pretended not to look.

Who was she?

- Gayatri

- Your girlfriend?

Not then. But later

Who proposed?

It was me who proposed

You getting married?

We were about to. She changed her

mind at the wedding

So she jilted you?

She said nothing to me

She ran away?

Did a runner!

Well! We're even now

Why did she dump you?

She didn't say

Shall I tell you?

You ran from your marriage ceremony

in her presence

She may adore you. But would she

risk committing her life to you?

Get it?

Something good came out of your escape

My family agreed I could be

an air-hostess

I trained, got a job

Moved straight to Jaipur

They're free of me. I'm free of them

And we meet again

Were you born a smarty?

Or caught an infection later?

Will you be my boyfriend?

Will you?

No marriage. You're unworthy

I didn't want to hurt you

My flight's at 5.

Four days duty in Chennai

SMS me on Monday. We'll eat out

Where?

Can't you find a restaurant in 4 days?

Or must I do that, too?

When he had a willing bride, he ran

And when he can't get a girl,

he pants after her

Ok. Run!

We'll see if he runs

Now run

The girl turned out to be

quite the modern type

Flying must have done it

Air-hostesses are decent girls.

Passengers do the flirting

She's a good girl. I wronged her

Now enjoy the fruits of your deeds.

Sweet fruits at that

It's your life.

But marry her this time,

before anyone runs

She doesn't want to marry

What does she want?

To mess around?

There's something in between

What?

When it happens, you know it

So no one else knows?

Tell me something

She doesn't want to marry.

But don't you want to?

Would ajilted man commit

his life to anyone?

She won't marry because you ran

You won't marry because Gayatri ran

Gayatri won't marry because

she saw you run

You people run a lot.

After each other, away from each other

Must you run? Can't you stay put?

That's how it is

Who'll ever marry then?

How will I survive?

The marriage era is ending.

Better find other work
