Waqt: The Race Against Time

Laxman...

the kids' bus has arrived.

Bring them in

The kids? Or the bus?

- The kids

Now...?

- Yes. Now

Which means...?

Laxman, go out and bring

the children in. Now

What are you doing? Let the gifts be.

Babu will pack them

No, Sumi, let me also learn this

l want to personally pack the first gift

we'll give to our grandson

Grandson? First let your

own son grow up

Till then, amuse yourself with

the kids you call your grandchildren

Hurry... your little friends

have arrived

Welcome! Welcome!

Come to me...!

Look ! There are gifts for you !

Go and collect them. Quick!

Hello, son

See that air-filled house over there?

How about jumping with me?

No, l suffer from polio.

l can't even walk properly

Never mind. l'm with you.

We'll have fun together. C'mon

Hey Sumi! This is how the three

of us will rock someday!

You, me and Adi's son !

Can't you make it quicker, mister?

l own a camel. lt's not a horse!

As if the camel knows that!

Make it faster! Good!

Pooja...

For me?

- No, it's for me!

lt's a bit tight. But when l step

out in a ghagra-choli...

the cat-whistles people let out...

- Ha ha ha! Very funny!

lt looks expensive.

- No. Worth just 45,000

Just 45,000 ?

That's very reasonable

Try it on.

- How can l wear it?

Why not?

- The henna's still wet

So take it off.

- No, l applied it for you

Dad chartered a plane for just one day.

We haven't time to go and exchange it

But how can l wear it, Adi?

Want me... to dress you?

Want me to dress you up?

- No!

Why? l'll close my eyes, l promise.

l'll play blind. That's it

No, Adi... no way!

- l swear it on daddy

You know, l wouldn't take

a false oath on daddy

''Go into hiding...''

''hide somewhere...''

''my crazy heart

will still find you''

''l'm moving away,

l'm leaving...''

''l'm better of

being away from you''

''There's mischief in your heart''

''My heart...

l can't control anymore''

''Go into hiding...''

''hide somewhere...''

''my crazy heart

will find you''

''l feel so shy''

''You ought not to be shy

of those you love''

''Go away...''

''go on, my love''

''There's deceit in

the air...''

''l can barely contain my desires''

''Don't make my heart

beat wildly, my love...''

''don't give me a scare, my love...''

''Come to me...''

''stop being stubborn''

''Don't please squeeze my arm''

''Look...''

''there's a scare in my heart''

''But what are you

afraid of?''

''Let me go...''

''stop acting crazy''

''l know it

deep down in my heart...''

''my obsession,

you will surely understand''

''l haven't a clue of it...''

''if you could explain

it to me, sweetheart?''

''Don't act so innocent now''

''l implore you...''

''let me go''

''Go into hiding...''

''hide somewhere...''

''my crazy heart

will look for you''

Adi! lt's perfect!

- lsn't it?

And l think you're more perfect

l love you.

- l love you, too

What happened?

- The bite!

When did l bite you?

- The watch, l mean !

lt's already 11.

l got to be in Mumbai by 2, Adi!

Why're you so worried? The flight

literally belongs to my old man today!

Mind-blowing, dad!

The trip was mind-blowing!

Not that one, that one is raw.

Eat this... this is a ripe one

What difference, dad...?

They're the same colour

lt isn't the colour, son.

lt's the aroma

You tell a good mango from

its smell. Here you are

Useless fellow! You've been coming

to the farm for the last 25 years

And you still can't tell a good mango!

With an expert like you around, why

must l worry? This is mind-blowing!

There's a crate for your friends.

Don't forget it

And what did your friends have to say?

Who else went with you to Jaisalmer?

Well, there was Hari,

Raj, Happy...

Your mother was furious.

But l side-stepped the issue

You didn't tell her that l chartered

a plane for you, did you?

No, l didn't. Am l out of my mind

to tell Mother lndia about it, dad?

You know what Mother lndia

would have to say

Aditya! You've blown up 1.5 million

in just a single day!

lshwar, how could you give this useless

son of yours a chartered plane?

''lshwar, this boy spends

money like water''

''And we've never been so liberal

even with water''

Mother lndia!

Sumi... so you've overheard?

Yes, she has overheard!

Do something, quick!

Mom, it wasn't dad's fault.

l insisted on a chartered plane

Yes, Sumi. He had promised to take his

friends to Jaisalmer on a chartered plane

And how could he break a promise?

- Why...?

Haven't you taught him

how to break promises?

You're so good at breaking promises.

- Me...?

Yes. You make promises and

break them every day

''That's it, Sumi. l'm going to stop

spending money on Adi's indulgences''

''l promise. l also promise not to

buy him another bike''

''And his everyday parties at 5-star

hotels are off... l promise''

Ma, l...

- Better if you don't talk to me!

l was talking about this tree.

When it was one year old...

lt has grown up. And it also

realises its responsibilities

The gardener looked after it. So it is

repaying a debt by bearing fruit now

Do you understand?

- Aditya will bear it too... the fruit

Sumi, Aditya has changed.

l mean, he's in the process of changing

Have some patience, Ma. l...

- For how long?

20 years more? Or 25 ?

- Taking a dig, eh?

Here, look at my photographs!

They'll appear in top magazines

Producers are betting their shirts

to sign me. You'll see...

Why, Adi? Why would

the producers sign you?

Well.. because l'm good-looking...

l'm rich and...

- You're lucky!

Yes, l'm lucky.

- Wait and see, Sumi

This boy will feature in our

ad for the toys

As you know, as a postman earlier,

l used to give people their letters

And this boy will

get tons of fan-mail!

After all l'm a star, Mom!

Look at the lines on my palm!

They reach out to the very end!

- Don't trust the lines so much, Aditya

They seem to imply one thing,

and give you quite another

Pretty serious, isn't she?

Mother lndia!

Excuse me...

What a pretty sari.

- Thanks

But it's ordinary compared to yours!

That trademark flower-band in

your hair looks very pretty

lt's lshwar's gift, literally.

He personally brings one for me everyday

ls that all? A measly flowerband?

l give my Ashalata a bouquet everyday!

Really? Does your wife go around

with a bouquet in her hair everyday?

The two of them are at it again.

Shall we...?

Wasn't me, it was Natu who took off

He says, ''That's nothing''

at everything anyone says...

So Mr Naidu...?

What are you gentlemen discussing?

My son Venkat! He wants to ignore

my hotel business and turn a Pop singer

l spent half a million rupees!

''You're pregnant,

l'm a beggar at heart...''

To record that cursed song,

he had six sessions!

That's happening in every family.

- But that's very good, Mr Naidu

You ought to be happy with your son,

his cassettes are selling quickly

Two cassettes! Only 2 cassettes!

l bought a cassette

which got spoilt

So l was the one who bought

the second cassette, too!

He's forgotten all about
