- Please... take him away from here

Pratap, l suggest you come with me!

He's not turning up

Will you keep quiet? My Adi is

a stickler for punctuality! Okay?

Oh yes, a great stickler!

He's always just five hours late!

The drop-out monkey!

My Adi's done his MBA.

With a first class!

That's nothing! My father was a

TC (ticket collector) on the Rajdhani!

l'm not talking about trains!

l'm talking about his degree!

He has two degrees!

And my uncle was running up

a fever of 105 degrees!

C'mon... come!

What's this guy...? Let's go

before he returns

Natu will come back,

but where's Aditya...?

We were supposed to meet at 8

and it's already 9 !

l'll phone him

Go on, Adi.

Get married to Richa

She's very nice.

She can even brew tea!

You will be happy with her.

- But l love you, Pooja

So why didn't you tell your father?

- My father...

You know what could happen

if l told my father

Yes, l do. Which is why

l'm asking you to go away

Even the phone's ringing now!

Adi...? Papa here

Yes, yes...

What...? Oh, l see, l see...

He's helping some poor man out

and got held up

Actually, we're here at the club...

Thakur...

- You can take your own time...

Your phone, Thakur...

your phone's ringing

Well... a wrong number.

The instrument isn't working

They're all bloody crooks.

- Really?

Relax, Thakur. He must be

caught up with a problem

l'm sorry, Pratap

The humiliation l had to face

because of him...

Yes, he even switched off his phone.

- What...?

His phone...?

- Yes! He switched it off.

There's a limit to irresponsibility.

- l tell you !

There's a limit to carelessness!

- Let him come. l'll take him to task...

Yes. Let him come

l'll take him to task in a way...

- Will you take him to task or ask?

''Where've you been, Adi?

What happened, my son?''

l will take him to task, Sumi!

Let him at least come home!

lf l don't break his legs,

l won't call myself lshwar again !

Dad...

- Adi...?

My son ! What happened, son?

Where were you?

Why the long face...?

Tell Daddy what's up, c'mon

Laxman, will you a fetch

a book of names?

We got to change the master's name.

- But l was about to scold him, Sumi...

This book...?

What have you brought the book for?

Go away!

Go where?

- Go and get to work!

Can't you see how upset he is?

Adi... no, my son ! Why're you crying?

Laxman ! Fetch some water.

- To drink...?

No, to bathe!

Get a bucket full of water!

No, Adi.. don't cry

Why must you cry...?

Sit down... take it easy

No, not the cushion to wipe tears.

- Use daddy's shirt

You mustn't be carrying a handkerchief?

- Can't you see how upset he is, Sumi?

Oh yes. Well, what's up son?

What's biting you?

Daddy, Mummy...

this girl, a friend of mine,

ran away to get married

And l helped her do it.

- ls that all...?

Was that what you were crying for?

You're really funny, Adi!

But daddy, the boy

she married...

the boy...

is me

Kidding...? Kidding!

Sumi, this son of yours...

you're kidding, aren't you?

No

- Marriage...?

Calm down... relax!

Let me talk to him!

You're not kidding, right?

- No

You know what you're saying?

Marriage!?

Who on earth have you married?

- A girl

Good thing. Else daddy

would've had a heart attack

What's her name?

- l fondly call her Mithi

Fondly whatever! What's her name?

- Pooja

Where does she live?

- ln my car

ln your car...? Since when?

- l mean, she's in the car right now

Go and bring her inside!

Go on !

As you say, daddy.

- How can l calm down? Marriage...

He gets married without

even telling us and...

Sir, the water

Take it away! Have a bath

on my behalf! Go on !

ln the kitchen or the bathroom?

- He bathes in the kitchen?

Wherever he bathes, lshu...

will you please calm down?

Whether we like it or not, we'll have to

welcome our daughter-in-law, isn't it?

Has the young master got married?

- Gawd! What a nuisance!

That boy decided to get married and

didn't even bother to ask us!

And this chap keeps asking

all sorts of questions!

Go.

Go away for now

Me...?

- Yes

Go inside now

Bless you

May you live long

Dad...

- Okay, okay

Do her folks know?

Or are they also...?

Mithi's an amazing girl.

She told her folks that...

she'd be staying at Rimi's house.

And Rimi, her friend...

will break the news to her father

that we've got a bit married

How much is a bit...?

A spoonful of marriage?

lshu..

- What lshu !

Her father can file a police

case against us, Adi!

That he will.

- You mean, that's for sure...?

Yes.

- ls your father an oddball...?

No, he's not an oddball. lt's just

that he's a bit eccentric

l see...

what's his business?

He runs a factory of knives and daggers.

- Hear that?

An eccentric man

who makes knives and daggers!

That's why we didn't tell him.

- But l manufacture harmless toys!

Why wasn't l told?

One moment... one moment!

My dear, is your father eccentric?

- Yes

He makes knives and daggers...?

Can you raise the veil, please?

You're Natu's daughter, aren't you?

Sumi! Call him over!

Make a phone call to Natu-bhai

and just call him over!

Well, Natu-bhai? Why're you hiding

your face like a nervous bride?

Your daughter has married my son.

They ran away together!

Natu-bhai... say something, please.

- What can he say?

My son's a crow that flew away

with a pearl...? Huh?

Adi's a monkey who dropped out?

That's nothing, Sumi! Natu-bhai is

now this monkey's father-in-law!

Your daughter Pooja ran away to

marry my son Adi!

lshu... please!

- Right!

Natu-bhai, we're now relatives.

Please say peace

Could you folks embrace...?

Well, if not embrace, you can

atleast sweeten your tongues...?

What will you have Natu-bhai?

Coffee? Juice...? Cold-coffee?

- You'll have to go there on your own !

We can't bring it down here.
