Hello, son. Where are you?

- We're in Greece right now, dad

By mistake the travel agent...

- lt's two months, son

Just another week, dad!

We'll be back in a week

This is such a lovely place...

- l don't like it without you, my son

lf possible, could you...?

Okay, dad. We'll leave

for Mumbai tomorrow

l love you, dad. And this is

not much of a place either

l love you, son.

- You take care. Okay, dad?

l hope you won't mind?

- l just want to be with you

Whether it's in Greece

or Ghatkopar!

You were right, Sumi

lt's time l told him the truth

We don't have a choice, do we?

But... how are we

going to tell him?

Just as you told me about it

lshu...?

l went home, Adi told me

that you were here. so...

What did they have to say?

Sumi...

- l don't want to hear it

Sumi, the reports...

- No! l don't believe it!

You mustn't believe it either!

There must be a mistake... they

could have made a mistake, isn't it?

Lung cancer

The last stage

l'll have a word with them.

These doctors have a way of...

talking any nonsense...

- Sumi!

Lung cancer

Let's consult other doctors

There's a very big cancer

hospital in Germany...

All the reports were sent to them.

You're the one who sent them, Sumi

The doctors have just one thing

to say:
9 months

Or a year, if there's a miracle

This is no less, lshu.

You promised me...

that we'd celebrate the 50th, the 60th

and the 70th wedding anniversary together

You will celebrate it, Sumi

After l'm gone...

you won't forget to wear a flower-band

in your hair, will you?

You will keep me alive even after

l'm dead, won't you Sumi?

How will l even live, lshu...?

He'll be shattered, Sumi

The two of us will

take care of him

We've been together

through happy times...

we'll live together

through sorrow, too

Which flight are they arriving by?

- 714, via Delhi

lt's 3 hours late.

- This is nothing

My uncle was returning

after his marriage...

the flight arrived so late,

he had two children on the way

Not again, Natu-bhai...

Hey Laxman, Natu-bhai wants you over

Are we here to receive

Aditya and Pooja?

Yes

Are they arriving on a plane?

- We're at the airport, aren't we?

So they'll be arriving on a plane

But we came here in a car.

- That's because we are locals, you see?

lt's different with those

who come in from outside

But l arrived in a train.

At the airport?

- The railway station

Trains don't arrive at airports.

Only planes land here

ls this an airport?

No, it's a rickshaw-stand.

They're arriving in a rickshaw!

Rickshaw-stand...? So where

will they keep their luggage?

On my head. Where else?

So why're you standing here?

Rather sit in a rickshaw

Not one head... l have ten heads!

Are you a ten-headed demon?

- Yes, l'm a demon !

And you're more devilish than l am!

Will someone deliver me from this moron?

There's Adi, lshu

We'll have to tell him

everything today. Okay?

Pooja... daddy!

- Hi!

Hey dad!

Dad, dad... l've heard of a

quick engagement and marriage

ln our case, there's no engagement,

it's straightaway a marriage and a kid!

You've become a grandfather!

Dad's become a grandfather!

What about the grandpa's hug...?

C'mon !

Aren't you happy?

- Happy? l...

Sure...?

- l'm going mad with joy!

Natu-bhai! Sister-in-law!

l'm going to become a grandfather!

Sumi... a grandfather!

l... a grandfather!

l've got full value for

the toy-factory l built

We'll soon have someone

to play with the toys!

Adi, Pooja... l love you !

Laxman ! Fetch some sweets!

Won't you ask who'll you feed the

sweets to and why? Question him!

Well, l know that the master's

going to become a grandfather

Adi's going to become a father!

- Really? l didn't know that

Are you going to become a father?

- Yes, Laxman

We're also going to become grandparents

and Pooja will become a mother

You mean, six babies in all?

Dad, if it's a baby-boy,

let's have everything in blue for him

Blue clothes, blue shoes, blue pot,

blue tub, blue swing...

And suppose it's a baby-girl,

let's have everything pink for her

Wow! We never had such

fancy ideas in our time

You mean all this will be wasted

if it's a baby-boy

And all that will be wasted

if it's a baby-girl?

What waste? We aren't misers like you

to have just one kid, Ma!

We're going to have two children

We're going to have two children.

What say?

At least learn to take responsibility

for one child first, Adi

So who's done all the shopping and

brought all that stuff? l have!

l'm the one who put things together.

My wife keeps sleeping all day

Tell her, Pooja.

- lt's the truth, Mom...

Adi has changed for the better.

He has become very responsible

Tell her about the jeans.

- We saw a pair of jeans worth 50,000
