No, uncle.

Iwas just feeling tired.

Right, I guess you don't

get much sleep these days.

Listen, tell Keshav that

Sunny's new film is releasing.

We'll go watch it together.

Uncle...

- Let me talk properly...

Dear...is everything fine?

Yes..

- When are you coming home?

Hello-hello.

Hello.

- What happened?

There's always a villain

in every love story.

And in my case, it's the toilet.

I must fix this once and for all.

I have an idea.

Take your problem

to the Pradhan.

Get out of here...

the Pradhan.

Pradhan!

[Folk song]

[Folk song]

I'm asking you for the fourth time.

Why bring me here at the crack of dawn?

Wait, sweetheart. Be patient.

Everyone must change with time.

I've heard she's well educated.

Are you planning on letting

her take up a job as well?

Oh, no...

It's up to her.

She can do what she wants.

Jaya, go and meet grandma upstairs.

She's bedridden and

can't move or walk. Go on.

Yes, why not.

That's why they had to

build a toilet in grandma's room.

I'll send her.

No-no,

she will manage herself. Go on.

Don't he hasty.

Haste makes waste.

Right, wifey, right.

Radhe-Radhe.

- Radhe-Radhe.

What now?

What are you fuming about now?

It's nothing.

What do you want?

What kind of a question is that?

Don't you know what I want?

Ifelt like a thief

just to go to the loo.

You've made my life miserable.

- I can say the same for you.

You've done me a big

favor by marrying me.

And now I must tolerate

your educated tantrums.

What?

You really think

I am throwing tantrums.

Isn't a woman even entitled

to a toilet in her home?

For years women

have been adjusting...

...to the methods practiced

in her in-law's home.

It's nothing new.

Education has got to your head.

Chauhey, check the

tubes before you buy them.

Or else we'll get the

defective stuff again.

Brother,

did you get the hike serviced?

Father has to leave for Mathura.

Wouldn't I rather

sabotage the brakes?

Here.

And don't forget

to wash the lunchbox.

Frankly speaking, brother, God

has put you in a really fine mess.

I'm sure he wrote

my fate in the loo.

Yes...and flushed it too.

You know what,

brother why don't you buy...

...sister-in-law

her own personal field?

That way, you can have

your cake and eat it too.

Have you lost your mind?

Go mind your own business.

- Don't come asking me for advice again.

Keshav.

Keshav, wake up.

Keshav, wake up.

Wake up. Wake up.

- What's wrong? Is it an earthquake?

Take me to the field quickly.

- Field.

No ifs or huts.

This is not the time

for your tantrums. Let's go.

I am sorry.

I was very rude to you yesterday.

I apologize.

- Doesn't matter. Let's go.

By the way,

the fields are very romantic.

We can romance...

- This is no time to he Shahrukh Khan.

Curses.

Radhe-Radhe.

I'm right here.

Good luck.

Father!

Peel these.

Are you done with

your work in Mathura?

First wash my hands.

- Yes.

What's all the racket about?

Clear your throat for good.

Father.

She's just tensed about

what happened today in the field.

You're worried about

what happened to her.

And what about the fact

that I fell in a pile of garbage.

These things happen.

Don't complicate things.

It wasn't so serious.

Daughter-in-law did cover her face.

Then.

- I see...

That's a fine example, father.

Then we don't need to cover

our faces anymore in this house!

Jaya.

Father...

Brothermare you planning

to jump in front of the train?

No...

I'm thinking of throwing

you in front of the train.

Why didn't you stop

me from getting married?

That doesn't make sense.

Why would I stop you?

First of all, I am not

getting married because of you.

Father was the hurdle in your life.

And you're in mine.

He's been married twice.

But no lane's concerned about me.

My brother,

you don't know how happy you are.

I don't want to he happy.

Even I was overexcited

to get married.

And Idid.

You can see how she's

turned my life into hell.

What are you saying, brother?

Your wife's one in a million.

It's better not to

have one..not like her.

She's got my

life trapped in an urn.

Stop discussing our

family problems outside.

What family problems?

When there's a problem at home a

man's going to vent it out somewhere.

Right, Rastogi.

What happened, brother?

Be a little more specific.

How about I tell you in detail?

Stop provoking brother, you rascal.

- Naru!

Show some respect.

He's 35 years older than you.

Shameless...

It's nothing, Rastogi.

Life's a big mess.

Will you he a little more specific?

Who made a mess and where?

I am stuck.

Actually, your poor sister-in-law

isn't asking for too much.

One toilet.

I am ready to give her open fields,

the jungle, trees and bushes.

But no...

She insists on a 4x8 toi...let.

Bloody hell..

Where do I get her a toilet?

So that's the problem.

It's not a problem, its blasphemy.

And then there's Panditji.

He's like the permanent

problem in my life.

He's like father-in-law from hell.

I pray no one has to

go through this ordeal.

They have made my life hell.

Look, brother Keshav,

my advice to you is...

...take sister-in-law to Gorakhpur,

to see your grandma.

The train halts for

7 minutes in your village.

So...when do I hook your tickets?

I don't want to go anywhere.

- Give it to me.

Okay.

What did you say?

How long will the train halt?

- 7 minutes.

Will the train halt for 7 minutes?

- Yes.

Remember our first

meeting and climb up.

Go on, you have seven minutes.

"Your love's

slowly growing on me."

"Like ginger blends

with the morning tea."

"Your love's

slowly growing on me."

"Like ginger blends

with the morning tea."

"I eagerly wait for you,

like for the morning rays in winter."

"I'm prepared to ride

all the way to the moon."

"The morning train..."

"Your love's

like the morning train."

"The morning train..."

"Your love's

like the morning train."

"I stay awake all night..."

"Your love's

like the morning train."

"The morning train..."

"Your love's

like the morning train."

It's three...

Oh, God!

- Yes.

Iwon.

- What is this? I don't want to play.

You know what, you go.

Your sister-in-law

and I are going to play.

Where are you taking the game?

Brother's going to play

another games with you now.

How are we going to play now?

Let's vlav-

"We set out before dawn."

"Let the world he envy."

"We set out before dawn."

"Let the world he envy."

"The heart keeps chugging."

"Keeps stopping on the way."

"The heart keeps chugging."

"Keeps stopping on the way."

"And sometimes heats fast

like an express train."

"The morning train..."

"Your love's

like the morning train."

Keshav.

- Yes, father.

Give this to the Pradhan when

you go out for one of your joyrides.

Yes.

Oh no!

We're late today.

- No, we're not.

I'll just go deliver this

to the Pradhan. Okay.

Come hack soon.

- I'll he hack in a jiffy.

Check the next compartment, dear.

You'll find an empty one.

- Thank you.

Move. Move, mister.
