So time spent with me now is time wasted?
Then what about those past three years that I have spent waiting for you?
If you wanted a divorce, why didn't you ask for it on the night of marriage?
Why did you ruin my three years? Can you return those three years to me?
This is a pointless argument, Kajal. You'll have to sign those papers. Okay?
It takes time to build a relationship...
it also takes time to break it
I won't sign those papers so easily, I got to show these papers to my lawyer
what will you show your lawyer? What's he going to see?
Who knows what you've written in those papers?
I'll have to consult a lawyer, right?
So now you trust your lawyer more than you trust me?
You shouldn't even talk about trust Arav
My grandma and I trusted you. Else, why would I marry you?
By asking for a divorce, you have broken everyone's trust
why should I trust you anymore?
Okay, you may consult your lawyer but just tell me how much time it will take
That I can't say!
When you can't trust anyone easily nowadays...
I don't know when will I find a lawyer I can trust
Tell me something. I have heard that in America when a man divorces his wife...
he goes bankrupt. Is it true?
This is not America, this in India and it doesn't happen in India
True. It doesn't happen here because a wife never divorces her husband
But not to worry. I'll think about it.
Kaka! Fetch a bucket of water. Quick!
Go on... - where? No!
Go inside, I say!
Kaka, I'll give it to him
Are you here, Kaka? Hurry up and give me the water
Kaka! Can't you see...? Pour it on my hands! Hurry!
Kaka! You've really gone blind! Pour it on my hands... my hands!
What are you doing...?
Give me the towel. Where's the towel?
You!
What are you doing here?
What noise is that in the bathroom?
That's what happens when there are two people in the bathroom
Two...? You mean, Kajal and Arav?
Watch the fun!
There's the water. - You played this prank, didn't you?
No, no,
It's hurting me... but it's such a sweet pain
The pain of love is always sweet
Oh my God! What sound was that? I think they've fallen down.
Happens. All the time
Aunty I'll also take a shower with you! - Shut up!
Learn! Learn something from your brother!
But in the bathroom...?
In a tight hug, smooching away... drenched in the water!
Hi Anna! - Hi Arav, how are you?
I'm fine
Don't pick up the phone, I was trying your number and you called
That's telepathy for you. We both miss each other at the same time
we might be in far away lands, but our hearts are together
Anyway, how's your dad? - He's much better now
So come back immediately. I don't like it here without you
Same here, but a property litigation has cropped up...
and I can't ignore that. I want to get those papers signed...
and return to you with all my issues resolved
Okay, baby, I love you
I love you too
How are you?
You didn't even inform us that you were coming to India!
It wasn't planned, it happened all of a sudden
were you missing your wife?
Forget about me. Tell me what's up with you guys?
Nothing much! Days of romance are past. We're now slaves to our wives
Forget that. Let's do something. - What?
Let's play a game. - Sure, but what game?
Word power. - Word power?
What's that? - I'll tell you
There's always a word to explain anything in every language
Like "khushi" is the Hindi word used for happiness
Correct. That's right. - So I'll give a word in English...
and you must translate it into Hindi. - No problem! Simple translation!
That's okay, but what will the winner get?
Yeah, what's the prize? - Whatever the winner asks for
Sounds great! So who's the first? - Me
Tell me what you call a button in Hindi?
A button? I'll tell you! It's called "Ast vyast vastra niyantra gotika"
when your clothes fall off...
then the ball used to bring them together is called a button
Great! Mind-blowing!
Merely saying mind-blowing is not enough
How about my prize? - Anything you want!
God bless my soul! Give me a Punjabi kiss then!
C'mon... let's do it!
Enough, stop it! It's my turn now
One moment. If I answer your question, what will you give me?
Whatever you ask for. - Yes!
It's a promise in everybody's presence. - Sure, all right. But what if you lose?
Ask me the question first. - What do you call divorce in Hindi?
Very simple..."talaak". - Yes! Bravo, Arav! You've won!
No Arav, you have lost. Because talaak is an Urdu word, not Hindi
And however hard you try, you won't find the answer...
because in our culture, there's no such thing as a divorce
So how can there be any such word? You've lost, Arav
Now that Kajal has won, here's her opportunity to ask Arav for something
what? - Ask for whatever you wish
Ask for something. Go on!
Okay, I'll help you out. Ask Arav for a kiss!
He'd accept that punishment with pleasure!
"He does not understand what my eyes convey..."
"my beloved is so wicked"
"Goodness me..."
"every man and woman knows what I'm talking about"
"Secretly, silently..."
"secretly, he looked into her eyes"
"I stole a look into his eyes..."
"I stealthily looked into my sweetheart's eyes"
"How my friends burn in envy"
"when and how did you steal a look into your beloved's eyes?"
"I refuse to believe what you say"
"I stole a look into his eyes..."
"O Moon, your moonlight stokes fires of passion"
"My wicked sweetheart does not understand..."
"his eyes continue to rove"
"Secretly, stealthily..."
"My anklets chime, my dot shines..."
"I can't go to sleep, oh what do I do"
"A fire rages in my heart, my heart is pounding..."
"my scarf is slipping away... oh what do I do?"
"Against my ornate bangles, my bangles tinkle..."
"it's driving me out of my senses, oh how it all torments me"
"I can't spend my nights without you anymore"
"Secretly, I met my beloved's gaze"
"Relent now, buddy-boy, she's your wife after all"
"Go for her quietly, she's your honey"
"Be a man, make her day sunny"
"Give a kiss and don't be funny"
"The clouds reach for my hand..."
"they call me their beloved, it scares me really"
"They hover around me, quietly and secretly..."
"they tug at my hand... it scares me so"
"I'm a wanderer, to move on is my lot"
"Like the burning embers, I'm a wayward lover"
"why do you try to shackle your beloved?"
"When and how did you meet your sweetheart's gaze?"
"I refuse to believe what you say"
"Secretly, I met my beloved's gaze"
"Secretly, silently..."
"with the beloved..."
"my beloved's gaze..."
"I met secretly"
Kajal... where did you go and get drenched?
She went away without saying anything!
This is amazing! Kajal was drenched and so you are
where did you go and get drenched?
Funny! This guys walks away without a word too
what's up with them? They get soaked in the bathroom...
and go out to get drenched. - It's time you learnt from your brother
why? Does something great happen if you get wet?
As if I need to explain that!
There! She hasn't said anything too. Looks like I need to do something
You want to talk about something, bro? - Nothing much...
Finish what you're doing. I'll catch up with you later
what did you want to ask, brother? - Nothing important...
just for the heck of it. - Okay
Okay...? No, no! It's not okay
I do have something to ask you. - So go ahead.
Well, what is that getting wet all about?
What? Why have you stopped? Ask the question
Later. - Why later? Ask him right now
I might as well be enlightened too
what? - Oh yes
It had something to do with getting drenched, isn't it bro? So ask me
Getting drenched...? - That's right... getting drenched
It's like this, dad. The car Arav has designed does not have a roof...
so won't people get soaked in the rains?
Right. In the rains, that car's going to be flooded
Dad, this is a romantic car. A two-seater. Only for couples
Apart from the joy of driving, you can even enjoy getting drenched
But what do you do after getting drenched? I mean, don't you feel cold?
My son, when you have a girl with you, you don't feel the chill
Kajal, I'm sure this monsoon is going to do something
I can see its effect on Arav. - No sister-in-law
This monsoon's having an effect on everyone, accept Arav
It was this very rain that once brought us together...
but I'm afraid, it might separate us this time
But I won't give up so easily. As they say, pray sincerely...
and you will even find God
And then, Arav is not just my love, he's also my husband
I can see only one way of getting a divorce from her
what's that? - I'll produce a few witnesses in court
what for? - You've been in America for 3 years
During this period, this girl has had an illegitimate affair with two men
Mr Lawyer!
Now look, I don't wish to make her life a butt ofjokes
In that case, you'll have to apply for divorce by mutual consent
Yes, I remember. I'll be back home soon
Okay? Bye
That was my wife. She's fasting for my long life today
Very well then. Have those papers signed...
and I'll handle the rest of the formalities
Aunty, are you not thirsty? - No
Aren't you hungry either? - Not at all
But I can't remain hungry for long
Kajal, Arav has gone to Delhi. He'll be late
You haven't had anything since this morning. So go and eat something
No, Mom. I'll wait for him
All these years when Arav wasn't here...
you ended your fast by looking at his photograph, didn't you?
That was different, sister-in-law. Today he is here with me...
he should be coming any moment, I'll wait for him
The young master's back! The young master has arrived
where were you all this while? Kajal's been waiting for you
You're just not bothered about her. - What was so important...
that you had to go away to Delhi on the day she fasts for you?
You could easily have gone tomorrow. It's so irresponsible of you
Go to your wife immediately
what the hell, Kajal! You very well know that I want to divorce you...
so what's this farce for? - This is no farce, Arav
It's our custom. - I don't believe in such customs!
There are so many things you don't believe in, Arav
But I do and so I observed this fast for your happiness
If you really want to see me happy, then sign these papers
what's wrong with me Arav? Why don't you love me?
Why do you want me to sign these divorce papers?
Because I don't love you!
I'm in love with Anna and Anna is waiting for me in America
Till you don't give me a divorce, I can't marry Anna...
so please set me free from this relationship
Sign these papers!
"I have loved you so much..."
"but you do not love me anymore"
"I've had so much of faith in you..."
"but no longer do I trust you"
Divorce! That's a word not seven generations of our lineage has even used!
And you want to divorce Kajal because you love another girl!
You're out of your mind!
I didn't want to marry her in the first place
You were the ones who forced me into it
My son, if you end this relationship...
our whole family will go to seed!
Mom, Kajal is just a friend to me. I'm not in love with her!
Today you don't love Kajal, tomorrow you won't love us!
You will leave all of us. - Dad...
please don't get worked up. It's a mutual decision
But what for? - Because this relation...
has reached a point from where it's going nowhere
Even if you wish to see me happy, how can I be ever happy with a man...
who doesn't even love me?
"You are unfaithful..."
"I have learnt"
"where do you go away..."
"your gaze lowered?"
"May you be blessed..."
"with the joys you seek"
"Loneliness..."
"is all I have"
"wait for you, I always did"
"wait for you..."
"I never will again"
"I have loved you so much..."
"I love you no more"
Parents must never force their decisions on their children
One mistake of ours is responsible for this situation
Please forgive us, my child. Our mistake has ruined your life
No dad, you did it only for my well-being
Maybe it wasn't in my destiny
My child!
Good bye
Aunty, are you leaving?
You will come back, won't you? At least to meet me?
"How I implored you..."
"to be loyal to me"
"You are my own..."
"do not ever betray me, do not ever cheat on me"
"For you, I could lay down my life"
"Lay down my life for you... I never will anymore"
"I trusted you implicitly..."
"Trust you, I do not anymore"
Isn't the lawyer there?
He's away for an important case in Allahabad
Okay, the documents are signed
Ask him to complete the formalities as soon as possible
Very well, sir
Hi babe, how've you been?
Hi sweetheart! I'm missing you so much
I miss you too, baby
when are you coming back? It's been so long
Is your work not over yet? Did you get the papers signed?
Yes, I've got them signed, now there's no problem
I'll be right there after Diwali
Now from where did this Diwali spring between us?
This is my last Diwali in India and then I'll celebrate all my Diwalis with you
All right, but you're coming here straight to me. Okay?
Okay, I promise
I love you
I love you too, babes. You take care. Bye
Mom, dad, let's light some lamps and perform a prayer to the Goddess
A lamp won't bring any light with our hearts so plunged in darkness
This was the last thing I expected
I thought this Diwali, all family members would perform the prayers
But now I feel as if the Goddess of wealth is annoyed with us
No daddy. The Goddess can never be annoyed with us
Kajal! - Sister-in-law
How are you? - I'm fine, how have you been?
May you be happy, my child!
Kajal? - Brother
How are you? - Chintu!
Aunt has arrived! Aunt is here!
It's Diwali night, so there should be no darkness in the house
Come, sister-in-law. Let's light some lamps
Kajal, you must have left this house...
but not our hearts, my child
Very true, my child
You are no longer our daughter-in-law. You are now our daughter
After ages I've seen smiling faces. Thank you very much. Happy Diwali
I've forwarded the case, but these formalities take time, Kajal
It's very important for me to get this loan sanctioned as soon as possible
I can't promise you anything, but I will definitely do my best
Thank you, sir
C'mon, Kajal. I'll drop you home
No, I'll wait for the bus. - Please Kajal, come on
Kajal, can I ask you for something as a friend?
What else do you want now?
Your anger is justified
But under the circumstances, I know I have hurt you
That wasn't a good thing I did. Please forgive me, if you can
when you look from a distance, the two ends of a road appears to be one
But when the journey gets over, you realize that they never ever met
Had we even lived together, we would have never been happy
Can't you find a nice man and settle down with him?
The end of a relationship is not end of the world
But how about a girl for whom the whole world revolved around one relationship?
Please stop the car. I want to get down
No, I'll drop you home. I need to talk to grandma as well
I haven't met her in a long time. I don't know how I'll face her
Everything's just as it was earlier. Nothing has changed...
when did this happen?
Six months after you left
Grandma passed away and no one bothered to inform me?
Grandma told us not to
She knew that if you got to know, you would come back...
and she didn't want to be an obstacle in your success
And I... I was so obsessed with achieving heights of success...
that I forgot my roots, my identity
Grandma so badly wanted to see my success
And now when the time has come, she is no longer with us to see it
You have shared your grief with me, but have you ever wondered...
what I went through?
I had no shoulder to cry on, I was all alone
Arav, got some work with me?
Yes, actually I wanted you to give cheque of $10,000 to Kajal
She needs it. - Why should I give it to her?
You want to give it to her, so do it yourself
$10,000 is 450,000 rupees.
Be honest. Is it your first earning?
No, Kajal, it's... - I don't want it
Kajal, please accept it. For the sake of our friendship
You'll need it. I'll send you more, should you need it in the future
Please keep this now. - Okay, I'll keep it
But I wish to show you something before I accept it. Come with me
which of these must I dispatch? - Drop this one. Send the other one
Call for you, madam. - Excuse me
Hi, Mr. Walker. How are you?
Yes, your consignment is already on its way
It should reach you the day after tomorrow.
The new orders? I'll check my e-mail and get back to you
Thank you, sir. Okay
when did you learn to speak such fluent English?
After you left, I had to learn to keep up with you
Do you work here?
No, this is my partnership firm. A & K Exports
You have a partner? - Yes, a sleeping partner...
but despite repeated attempts, he just doesn't sleep with me
Kaju, when did this all happen?
You've called me by that name after so many years
Sorry, it just slipped out
After you left, I had nothing to do
So I got together a few girls and women and started this factory
Business flourished and I applied for a bank loan
But grandma objected and she gave me 500,000 rupees
where did grandma get so much of money from?
She had some fixed deposits in the post office
Fifty thousand rupees in ourjoint account
And thus, it was A K Exports. Arav and Kajal
Our last three years have generated a profit of 570,000
Your share therefore works out to 285,000 rupees
You want it in rupees or dollars?
Then why did you go to the bank for a loan?
I have got a big order from Europe. To execute it, I need 25 million
Could you come here, please? - Sure. Excuse me
How we've lost track of time. Will you have something to eat?
There used to be an eatery around, remember? Famous for its parathas?
Yes, it's still there.
Remember how we used to run away from our homes and come here to play?
And I used to take you for a ride on my bicycle
And try to scare me as well. - But you never got scared
That's because you were with me
Kajal, isn't this the place where we had fallen from our bicycle?
You do remember everything
I can never forget those moments Kajal
whenever it rains, I can see us cycling on these tracks
You only remember the ride. - No, what happened after that too
when lightening struck
we planted trees somewhere here, right? - Yes
They must've withered away by now
Anything that's planted in the rains never dies
There's your tree
I told you Arav, I would never let them wither away
So this is my tree? And that one's yours? - Yes, mine
They have grown, haven't they? - Yes
Come here
Don't they look beautiful? - Sure
Let's knock off some mangoes
Pass me a stone, will you?
You still have a good aim
Kajal, it's still the magic of your kiss
Take off your sweater, you'll catch cold.
"Rainy days usher in..."
"days of reunion"
"The pitter-patter of raindrops ignites fires of passion"
"How we have begun to falter in our stride, we're indeed in a daze"
"These days of rains..."
"bring with them times of a reunion"
"The night I so looked forward to is here at last"
"I burnt in the flames of fantasy. For years, I endured separation"
"But this magnificent cloudburst has rekindled my passions"
"These days of rains..."
"bring with them times of reunion"
"The night I so looked forward to..."
"is here at last"
"Neither are you in your senses, nor am I in my senses"
"I might yet stray... steady me, please"
"Those are just my desires, that's just my plea..."
"gather me in your arms tonight, my love"
"Here are the days we have felt for..."
"here are the days when we meet again"
"The night I so badly looked forward to..."
"is here at last"
"Youthfulness... it's crazy"
"A storm rages in their breath"
"Crazy... crazy moments"
"How desires seek to deceive"
"From my body billows a smoke..."
"let the clouds continue to pour"
"Pangs of separation, I can take no longer..."
"how long am I to pine like this?"
"Days of love are here..."
"days of reunion are here"
"The night I so badly looked forward to..."
"is here at last"
Arav, I am so very happy today!
Grandpa has decided that we are coming to India...
and that's where our wedding will take place
wedding?
We are flying out today. I am dying to see you baby
I love you. - I love you too. Bye
Arav, I am your elder brother and I know you very well
You're feeling guilty for having wronged Kajal
You feel sympathetic towards her and nothing else
Sit down
I want to know just one thing. You have left Kajal for Anna
But can you leave Anna for Kajal?
Never. Kajal is a friend, but Anna is my love
There you go! So where's the confusion?
You're right, brother. I've already divorced Kajal
She's my past and Anna is my future...
with whom I wish to spend the rest of my life
Hi Anna. - Hi baby!
How are you? - I missed you so much
I missed you too
welcome, sir. This is my elder brother, Dr Pranav
Hello. - Hello
And this is Anna's grandfather and this is Anna
Hello. - Hello
Haven't your parents come? - Ours is an orthodox family, sir
They will see the bride at a proper ceremony
Anna, I wish to say something to you. - What is it, Arav?
There is a difference between hiding a truth and telling a lie, isn't it?
Yes, but why are you asking me?
Because I have hidden the truth from you
I've a friend Kajal
Arav, is there any place for me in your life?
Anna! For a moment I thought I had lost you
For a moment, even I misunderstood you
But then I realised that you had taken the divorce for the sake of my love
Arav, you belong to me. Only to me
I will always belong to you
Promise me that you will never leave me again
I promise, I'll always be yours
Arav, shall I ask you something? - Sure
I wish to meet Kajal. May I? - Of course.
Arav, will you keep standing or even introduce me to Kajal?
Oh sorry. Kajal, this is... - Anna. Who else could it be?
Hello. - Come, take a seat
How are you, Arav?
Anna, I got some work to do. Have a chat with Kajal...
I'll join you later. Okay? - Okay
Kajal... - Yes?
Can I ask you a question? - Sure, go ahead
You don't get the feeling that I have snatched Arav from you, do you?
No, Anna. When he never really belonged to me, how could you snatch him away?
Arav has shared neither his sorrows norjoys with me
Our marriage wasn't a union of souls, it was a compromise between two families
Arav never really loved me
Kajal, whenever a relationship breaks, there's always a woman responsible for it
And I don't want to spend the rest of my life with this feeling of guilt
I don't want to break your family to build my own
I actually clung on to a relationship that never really existed
Kajal, Arav told me that you have a factory
Not a big factory like yours, it's just a small set up
It's so nice to see an independent young girl
It is very important for a girl to be independent
Despite living in such a small city, your ideas are so progressive
I am totally impressed. It was really very nice meeting you
Friends now? - Friends
I've no clue of Indian customs, I've no idea how a bride dresses
will you help me, Kajal?
You've called me your friend. And I'll definitely help a friend
I'll certainly help you Anna, but on one condition
I want you to wear my bridal jewellery
Arav, Kajal's going to help me dress. - Yes, I heard that. Shall we go?
Bye, Kajal. - Bye
Kajal, do you have any idea what you are doing?
You are strangling your love with your own hands
You won't be able to do it. You have loved Arav more than yourself
It's going to kill you, Kajal. Take my advise. Go away from here
How can I run away from myself, sister-in-law?
Every tree, every leaf here has been witness to my love
Every lane shares a bond with my love
The clouds and the rains here have culminated in my love, sister-in-Iove
And tomorrow, when I come back...
won't they ask me where I was, when they saw my love being set afire?
No, sister-in-law
I will myself give my love a decent funeral
"A thousand goals there will be..."
"a thousand caravans there will be..."
"your eyes will look for me..."
"but there's no saying where I will be"
"My love, O my sweetheart..."
"I'm going dress your bride"
"I'm going to adorn your bride"
"The promise I made to you, I will honour"
"I will keep my promise"
"Amidst the shadow of the glittering stars..."
"may you be protected from the evil eye"
"I'll give you all my love..."
"I'll dedicate my life to you"
"Although my eyes seem cheerful, I weep at heart"
"when I take the blow..."
"Oh... how it hurts"
"My love, O my sweetheart..."
"I shall endure all the pain"
"I will dress your bride"
"I know it's difficult, it's a moment of test"
"I will be shattered in a moment..."
"I will transcend every limit"
"when I smile, she thinks I'm in the habit of smiling"
"Blissfully ignorant, little does she know..."
"this is my way of hiding my grief"
"Oh my love, sweetheart..."
"I shall keep smiling like this"
"I will dress your bride, O sweetheart"
"I will fulfill every promise I've made to you"
"O sweetheart..."
"my dearest love"
Please stand up for the vows and take the rounds of the sacred fire
This wedding is not happening!
This wedding can't take place!
Why can't it take place? - Your divorce hasn't come through yet
what rubbish!
I myself got the papers signed by Kajal and dropped them at your office
You got the papers signed by Kajal, but you forgot to sign them yourself
You mean they are not divorced yet? - No, not as of now
One moment, please
Mr. Lawyer, if he signs the papers right now, then will the divorce be complete?
Of course it'll be complete. What am I around for?
Does anyone here have a pen?
A pen, please
what nonsense! There are so many people around and nobody has a pen?
Arav, even God doesn't want you to sign these papers
Today I have realized what true love is
Do you remember the Chinese Temple?
What was written on that cookie, "Today you will meet your destiny"
That was so true, only we took time to understand it
Had I not come into your life, you wouldn't ever have come to divorce Kajal
And you would never realised how much you love her
I've only been a medium to take you closer to Kajal
Kajal is your destiny
Do you really think you forgot to sign these papers?
No, it was divine intervention
we often realize our mistakes after losing our loved ones
You are lucky that Kajal is still part of your life
Stop her. Don't let her go away
Go on
Don't say a word. Just go
Before I break down... just please go away
No! He can't go away like that! He can't do this to my child!
Let him go, grandpa. His goal lies elsewhere
That I met Arav was merely a coincidence
But it's not in my destiny to have him for myself
He has betrayed you! I'm going to ruin him!
You will do nothing of the sort, grandpa!
Arav loves me very dearly. It's just that he loves Kajal a bit more
I knew I'd find you here. - Why have you come here?
I've come to ask you something
what?
Why did you sign the divorce papers? - You were the one who forced me to
Couldn't you have turned me down? - How could I? You don't even love me
who says I don't love you? - You did
Forget what I said
Look at me
Tell me something, Kajal
who took you out cycling? - You
who ate raw mangoes with you? - You
who spent hours with you in the rains? - You
who haunted you in your dreams? - You
If I was the one who did all this, I also loved you
I have walked out of my wedding altar to come to you today!
Because I have realised...
I only love you, Kaju. Only you
Now quickly give me a kiss. - First you close your eyes
No. Today I won't shut my eyes. I want to see how well you kiss
