is also a personal favorite of mine.

Tanuja Trivedi or Tanu from Kanpur.

And our old friend

Raja Avasthi from Lucknow.

And many more have

requested for this song.

Like Pappi Tiwari from Azamghar,

Payal Sinha from Patna.

Jaspreet Singh or Jassi from Kapurtala,

other than them Kishan Sharma..

..Rajendra Trivedi, Radha Trivedi..

..Anju Sharma..

Friends, for all of you..

song which dispels gloom..

Darkness has finally receded.

Darkness has finally receded.

There's light in the entire world.

Sister-in-law, you took a bath.

Cut them quickly.

Brother-in-law is in a bad mood.

Pappi.

You are just..

How are you?

And we have to begin from Kanpur.

Brother Manu, now quickly get me

Your sights pierced my heart.

Come on, hurry up.

Brother-in-law is here.

Listen to me. Have you gone crazy..

Brother-in-law is here.

Come in, come in, come in, come in.

Mr. Sharma,

'Samosas' taste good only..

..when they are cooked in refined oil.

Here. By the way,

sister-in-law, l must admit..

..that all of you are very lucky.

Your son has been living

in London for so long..

..but he still listens to his parents.

Wants to marry an lndian girl.

What are you doing?

lt is alright, mother.

Have some.

- Have this.

Eat this.

- This one.

This.

- Feed him properly.

She has won this gold medal.

- Yes.

No, no, no.

- Have it.

Later. Later.

- Okay.

A little more.

- The cups, sir. Have a look at them.

l don't want to eat it.

Manu wasn't ready to get married.

He finally agreed

after constant persuasion.

He said This is a task as well.

So let's get it over with this time.

Sense of humor.

The girls there

don't have such values.

lsn't it, Sister?

Our Tanu is..simply unique.

She knows all the

chores around the house.

All the food that you see before you..

..has been cooked by Tanu.

She has studied in Delhi..

..but she has all the values of UP.

Come on, let me read your palm.

Here, the apple has

come from Himachal.

l must say that your

lines are..truly amazing

Shall we show you our dance?

We learnt it from 'Nach Baliye'.

- Yes, yes.

She has done a course

on the Nagina dance.

Neetu, serve it.

l was saying let us see the girl.

lt has been a long time.

Let Manu eat something

and then he can see.

But..

- l was saying, Mr. Sharma..

God-willing if these

children like each other..

..then let's leave for

Vaishno Devi tonight.

Really?

- Yes. -

We have around 20 tickets.

One of my office

colleagues was supposed to come..

..along with his family

but his hand was fractured..

..so he was just discharged today.

Maybe Goddess didn't summon him yet.

Under that pretext we'll

visit the Goddess's temple..

..and complete the rituals.

l don't have any.. l mean,

it is a good idea. Right?

And then we can leave

for Delhi straight away.

Won't that be right?

- Yes.

Actually..Tanu isn't

feeling well since yesterday.

That is why she isn't coming down.

lf Manu could come up..

..then both the

children could see each other.

Then let's go up and take a look.

What will we do up there?

They are sensible children.

They will be able to

converse in privacy. - Yes.

Otherwise they won't be able

to speak out of hesitation.

lsn't it?

My heart sways.

My body sways.

- Don't bite anyone, snake-lady.

l am getting restless.

- Manu.

Manu. Please come up.

Tanu's room is up there.

Yes, go ahead.

Yes, yes, yes, go.

Please come.

Brother-in-law, are you scared?

Should l come along? Come on.

Sit here comfortably.

l will go call her.

- Okay.

'l love you. l love you.'

Careful, sister.

Careful.

- Hello.

Actually, she has been

suffering from viral fever..

..for the past three to four days.

- Okay.

So the doctor has given her sedatives.

So she is slightly drowsy.

That's why..

The viral fever is a

common disease in Kanpur.

The climate is changing.

Take a seat, son.

Why are you standing?

Sit down.

You two can talk to each other.

We are just outside.

Let's go.

- Come.

No, l..

- Talk..

Actually, you shouldn't take
