Sheila, you?

What's this?

You r g race.

MY grace?

Nice poster, isn't it?

This film

will release next week.

But right now, you're here to watch

Shaukeens(Romantic at heart)"

..so let's focus on that.

Delhi, a fun-loving city.

Frankly speaking,

this city has..

..more twists and

turns than my films.

You'll find romance,

but at someone's tomb.

Drama, at temples.

Comedy,

at some memorial service.

And fights

are common on streets.

And what makes this

city so fun-loving..

..are the men.

Take them for instance.

Lali, KD and Pinky.

They've all turned 60..

..but their nature hasn't changed.

The sight of a girl..

..still makes their tail wag.

The reason

behind their condition"

..is their loneliness.

Lali.

There's a serious dearth

of hair and fun in their lives.

Technically speaking,

he has a big family.

A shoe-store

at Connaught Place.

And respect in the society.

But still lonely at heart.

You'll ask why.

His wife

has turned religious..

..and distanced herself

from married life.

Due to which

Lali has been showing..

..a strong

interest in fashion.

Lali's younger sister,

Chanchal.

Poor girl got divorced

a week after her marriage.

And son..

He's a real sample.

He deliberately

gets pictures taken"

..for posters

at his father's shop..

Mom, my milk.

And thinks he's a model.

Anyway, Lali is not

interested in his son.

But he's very

interested in women.

Fed up of the austerity

in his house..

..Lali's found some

sanctity at his store.

Frontier Boot House for Men..

..is now Ladies Shoe House.

And finally Lali's life

has become a bit colorful.

"There is no relief from this pain."

"Are you a lover or a butcher?"

Similarly, his friend Pinky..

..is dealing with

an utterly boring life.

Harishankar Goyal.

His life is more like

an unfulfilled dream.

He had to take care of his

father's business at a young age..

..and couldn't

complete his education.

As soon as he was old enough

his father got him married.

So no girlfriends.

He had kids

right after marriage.

So no fun with the missus.

When his sons grew up..

..he thought he'll go

globetrotting with his wife.

But his wife went to

the heavenly abode instead.

By the way, Mr. Goyal is the

richest amongst his three friends.

He's the king of Catch

Spices at Chandni Chowk.

Two sons and their wives.

In fact,

he's even a grandpa now.

But he's unhappy.

And so he's

got a grumpy nature.

But recently

he's seen a ray of hope.

Hi. Excuse me.

"When there is love in the world."

"Wonder why this heart asks for more?"

An Angel has descended

right opposite to him.

Angie!

I guess Pinky's in

love with this masseuse.

But there's one problem.

'English.'

Frankly, Pinkly loves

girls that speak English.

And Angie speaks only English.

But he doesn't know English.

So how can they talk?

I guess this love-story

will always be incomplete.

I feel sad.

But not for the next one.

Kamal Dheer Sharma, aka..KD.

He's the real image

of Delhi's passion.

He's rich,

stylish, overly-connected.

..and a big gloat.

And why not.

He's a bachelor after all.

He's 60, but his attitude

is not a day over 30.

It's still

really easy for him..

..to befriend females.

Pinky considers him

as his love and sex guru.

But the truth is..

"that sex is miles

away from his life.

But still..he

runs an NGO for widows.

He's like an angel

for these helpless women.

But for KD, this is an opportunity

to prepare for the real thing.

KD tries these

tricks outside too.

Because in this ambiance..

..he can only be benevolent,

not a lover.

We've heard that

in his younger days..

..KD was in love with someone.

"Why to get stuck at one place?"

Later she got married..

..and KD decided

never to get married.

This is just a rumor.

I don't guarantee

this story's true.

You must be wondering

why Akshay Kumar..

..that's me, is so interested

in three old perverts of Delhi?

Take a look for yourself.

What's wrong, uncle?

She's like your daughter.

Forget it.. - No, dear.

You don't know these old men.

They come here to get in the mood.

Stop talking rubbish.

You've been doing dirty

things behind the bush..

..and blaming me

of being ill-mannered.

Do you see that?

Such shameless kids these days.

Stop all this. Or I'll have you

thrown out of the park.

Hey old man..

Gentleman. Gentleman.

Stay in your limit!

Gentlemen..please don't fight.

They are sorry. You can continue.

You can please carry on.

They are sorry.

Okay, let's go.

He was misbehaving.

Why did you have to apologize?

- Yes.

We weren't the ones

behind the bushes. - Right.

I would've ruined

that boy's career..

..even before it took off.

Do you know who I am?

I don't know about you.

But I know who I am.

How embarrassing was

that cheap behavior of yours.

What cheap, embarrassing behavior?

What did we do? - Not us, you.

Why did you have

to peak in the bushes?

If that boy hadn't interfered"

..he would be sitting on her lap.

Don't be so ridiculous, Lali.

lam ridiculous.

I am the Secretary of the

Shopkeeper's Committee of our area.

We can't act so cheaply in the open.

Try to be discreet.

Mr. Lalwani, how are you sir?

Hello, Mr. Sehgal.

It's been a long time

since you've been to my shop.

I definitely will, sir.

When is the committee meeting?

Next Friday..Friday the 13th.

Give my regards to Mrs. Sehgal.

Okay. - Okay, see you.
