Poor excuse for a big girl
"Go, do a 100 sit-ups as punishment"
"Hurry, it's late"
What have you done? Butter-fingers!
"Namaste, Miss Lobo. - Let me greet Miss Lobo properly"
Sasriya-kal
You're so clumsy. Made a mess of the food
Myself - Bunty daddy She-self - Bunty mummy
Who is he? - Our son
We call him Bunty. Tell her his proper name
Sardar Parminder Singh Ahluwalia
What is Miss saying?
That our child speaked good English. - Speaked?
Meaning he talks good English. You can't understand even that?
Our Bunty speaks good English! Thanks to you
"No, he only speaks Punjabi"
"When we're Punjabi, will he speak Japanese?"
She wants to speak in Japanese?
"See - he sleeps, wakes, drinks, eats - Punjabi"
Our son has a Punjabi appetite. - It seems Miss likes Punjabi food
"Here - mustard greens, tandoori chicken, rotis..."
"Careful, Sardarji"
You must taste Bunty's father's delicious lamb curry
You always think about food? - Yes
Never 'padhai' (lessons) - At times 'parhhai' (women)
Women? When married to me? I'll show you
Don't you understand anything? She's is talking of studies
Odd language
Teacher wants my homework
We can follow English. Where are his books?
"At home. If his bag had books, where would the food go?"
She's a simpleton. We'll get the books
Guard our food. We'll return soon
Look - the lady from the temple
Adi's your son? Bunty is ours
He's taken after his Dad
Bunty's taken after me. - You never stop doubting me
Your father hasn't come?
"No, he had some work"
He could've skipped work this once. For his son's sake
Miss Lobo's waiting
He's afraid of Miss Lobo. Let's get his books
You play with Adi. We'll hurry back
"Adi, see- I have a moustache"
Soon you'll have a beard
I'll keep your bag in your room and come back
We're the same height
One chocolate? Let's share
Give
Shorty's got a big chocolate
Give it back to me! - What will you do?
He'll call Mom. She'll scold us. I'm terrified!
I'll call my Dad. He'll box you
My Dad will kick your Dad and he'll land on the roof
My Dad will jump off the roof and show your Dad
Shorty's dad? Jump off the roof?
"Liar. You don't have a dad, so how will he jump?"
I have a Dad
"Call him then, sweetie"
"Liar, liar, liar"
Catch them
Adi's Dad is here Adi's Dad is here
Now he'll jump from up there.
Jump? From where?
"From here? - Yes, I told them you would"
Is he a dad or a Super-dad?
He's so confident
Did we make it too easy?
Didn't you promise too much? You could have asked.
Now what do I do?
Jump. Show them!
What will you do with a dad who has no hands and limbs?
"Adi, come down quickly. Use the stairs"
What's all this? Tell Raj to use the stairs
Raj... JUMP!
"No more tall claims, I hope?"
What do I do with this?
Kick it on to the roof. - What?
Kick it with your foot
Try telling my leg that! Couldn't we have done this first.
You won't do it?
Come on.
There?
I caught it!
You did it! Now you're ready for the cricket team
"Miss, your textbooks"
"First time catch, madam"
What did I do? - You hit me with that ball
"Miss, not he"
I just caught it - my first time ever - Your first catch and you get a slap!
You're history
It was a mistake. They're kids
Who did this?
I'll tell you
"Respected Teacher, the football, launched by the lotus-feet of..."
the respected father of your cherished student...
"Aditya Kumar Srivastav, having encountered a pillar..."
of your educational institution and then your venerated posterior...
descended into the lotus hands of this learned being.
No English. Only Hindi. Mixed with Punjabi
"We'll explain our Hindi to you, in your English, okay?"
A. B. B. G.
T. P.O. G.
"I. P. K. I. U.P. O. G."
"Have some tea, ji"
"I already did, You have some, ji!"
"Imagine a world that was just the way..."
we wanted it to be?
"Hey, Bibi-Ji Have some tea, ji"
"I already did, You have some, ji!"
"From Monday to Saturday we'd relax"
"And go to school only on Sundays"
"Teachers would be happier the later we were"
"We'd get ice cream and chocolates in every class"
"School would be just the way we imagine it..."
Imagine if it were so...
"O.P.R.A. My love?"
"Have some tea, ji"
"O.P.R.E. My love..."
"You have it, ji."
"We'd return from school without homework"
"And nobody would mind the racket we'd make at home"
We'd play cricket in our bedrooms
We'd dance on the dining table
Trains would stop at our doorstep
Planes would land on our rooftop
"We'd buy anything we wanted without a single rupee."
Imagine a world...
"Imagine a world that was just the way we wanted it to be..."
"Imagine a world that was just the way we wanted it to be"
"Don't cry, child"
"It's school, not a prison"
"Excuse me, this is my son"
"They look alike, in their uniforms."
"Sister, seen my child? He looks just like this"
"Naturally, he's your son. Since when am I your sister?"
You're crying?
Lion cubs don't cry before school. - Lion cubs don't go to school
I mean... I always went to school happily
Lies. You dropped out in the fifth standard.
I also want a Super Dad. - Take him
He's a Super Uncle.
Please visit our place
Our guest house is nearby
Some other time. I have to go now
We're sure to meet what with our kids studying together
"Namaste - "Satshriyakal"
Call other men Uncle
"Take care, eat well and write to me every Sunday"
Time flies and you'll be home before you know it
"Till then be strong, don't cry..."
"Mom, I'm fine, I like school. Will you be ok?"
"You're going too, Raj?"
Can I always call you dad?
Looks like you'll have to
"Hurry up, Adi. - Coming"
Do I drop you to the train station or the bus stand?
The station
"Raj, what you did today... - I shouldn't have"
But I'd promised Adi
You misunderstand
I'll never misunderstand you again
Let me say what I have to
You said enough at the station that night
That night...
I admit I shouldn't have
You know nothing about my past
I do
Your husband left you
And I'm sure it was your fault
Stop the car
"It's always the woman's fault, isn't it?"
"Namrata, I meant... - You're right"
I am to blame- for marrying him
For trying to please him in every possible way.
"How can he be faulted? He's the husband, after all"
Why should he care about his wife's happiness?
"To me, he was everything. To him, money was everything."
I lost him to his obsession with money
Every day I wondered what I'd done wrong
To be together and yet so alone
Only a wife knows this Ioneliness
One day I discovered that I was pregnant
It gave me hope that we'd be happy again
"Doctor, Sanjeev's card. Please call him"
"Sister, let her husband know. - I'll call him"
Don't be stubborn
Any further delay may be a risk to your life
We've both waited for this day
He will come
"Madam, there's no answer"
"Madam, your son"
Seven years and he hasn't seen his child's face
Till today I don't know why he left us in this way
He didn't care to look back even once
What did I do so wrong?
Do you realize you're punishing yourself for someone else's sins?
You're punishing Adi
And me
Could I ever betray you?
Have you asked yourself what you really want?
We can't be together.
"Raj, I have to tell you something. - So do l"
"Me, first. - It's more important that I tell you"
"If I don't speak now, I'll always..."
"If I don't, neither of us will ever speak again"
Meaning?
The branch we're hanging on to...
is...
What did you want to say?
We met by chance
We barely spoke
"But before I knew it... What can I say?"
Why is my heart racing?
Why do I feel this way?
"How do I explain this day dreaming..."
Say no more...
"Each day, and every night I'm lost in thoughts of you"
There's so much to say...
Come and listen
I have so many hopes and dreams
I want to share with you
Say no more...
I feel so much
"Yet, I am speechless"
What I cannot say
My silences convey
"If you can, listen to the things I have not said..."
"Because the truth is there's nothing left to say..."
Say no more...
We met by chance
We barely spoke
"But before I knew it what can I say?"
Why is my heart racing?
Why do I feel this way?
"How do I explain this day dreaming..."
Say no more...
Back to the temple? Don't you trust me?
I don't want to lose you under any circumstances.
Want to make a wish?
I got what I wished for
Then return my coin. - Now it's mine
It's your first gift to me. I'll never give it to anyone
...not even to God
It looks really good
I missed you so much
Really? That's why he hasn't called me once since he got here.
He has no time for us these days
He just vanishes! - Am I missing something?
Someone. A beautiful woman. Wait till you meet her
What?
You've already met her?
Wait - what's going on here? Who is this girl?
The one you made Raj's match-maker
Namrata
Namrata!
Do you know what you're saying?
Isn't it wrong to want a married woman as your wife?
What is wrong is that she was deserted by her husband
What is wrong is that till today... Adi has not known a father's love
Mom...
for the first time in my life I have fallen completely in love
Is that wrong?
I want to be true to that love- Is that wrong?
"Ask your heart not your head, Mom"
It's not for me to decide. It's a question of your life
"Son, if you're sure..."
You have my blessings
"Tell me, when will you bring her over?"
Mom has sent them...
for her daughter-in-law
When can I meet your mother?
After I get a cup of tea
Mom said to come at ten
What? - It's already eight. Go now
"The door's closed, I can't go"
Go
What happened?
You forgot something. - What?
You were to get me a cup of tea
Mind-blowing tea
Now what? - I forgot something
I have to get ready
What are you looking for?
My family. It will always be with me now
"I called to check if you had left"
How can I if you keep bothering me
Please come soon - I'm coming
"I'm back, Namrata"
You can't believe it? Neither can I
You look beautiful- More than I remembered.
"Why have you come now, Sanjeev?"
"You didn't ask, 'Why did you leave?"'
"What's the point, after seven years"
"This time I am here to stay, forever"
There's no place for you in Adi's life or mine
Adi?
Aditya?
The son you've never met
Whose name you didn't even know
Suddenly he's 'our' child? - I know that...
Know what?
That I'm guilty. - Guilty
"Namrata, listen"
"The truth is, you were right"
Money isn't everything
"I was wrong, to leave our home in search of wealth"
I didn't stop to think about my wife or my unborn child
I was obsessed. I wanted to be a very rich man
...To buy anything I wanted
She worked in my office
Sunaina
She said there's money to be made abroad
I didn't tell you I was afraid you would stop me
"Saying, 'What we have is more than enough"'
I left with her. For four years we ran scam after scam...
and kept raking it in
I got carried away by her promises
And Sunaina? She cheated me and took off.
She left me for another man!
I was left with no money and no... - Sunaina
I made a terrible mistake
"That day I thought of you a lot, your face, the things you'd say"
"I thought of returning, but how could I face you?"
I slogged for three years. Now that I've earned enough...
I have come home. I know you will forgive
Only you can forgive me
Please go away
Leave me alone
"All right, I'll go now. But I'll be back"
"For my wife, for my son, for my family"
"Aunty, look here"
You have to come
I'll talk to you later
Open your eyes. She's here - Hurry up
Where is Raj? - What do you mean?
First meet Raj's sister
"Now you're my sister-in-law, I'll call you "bhabhi"
"Aunty, this is Namrata. Namrata, Raj's mother"
Give me a hug
"I welcome you to our home. Be happy, always"
What's this? How can you welcome her?
I'm from the girl's side. I'll welcome you
Quiet. Let me meet my daughter-in-law.
"I told you, she's perfect for Raj"
What's wrong?
She's nervous - meeting her mom-in-law for the first time
"Namrata, come with me"
Just sign here. I'll handle the formalities
What's this? - An affidavit
The fact that Sanjeev hasn't contacted you in seven years
is sufficient grounds for a divorce
These are adoption papers. Now Adi will be Raj's son
Where is Raj?
I know. Come with me
Come...
Smile please...
"Aria, that's enough. Tell Aunty we're just coming."
There's something I have to...
Don't say a word
If this is a dream...
don't wake me
The only thing missing...
is Adi
When I tell him...
I'm really going to be his Dad
"Listen to me, please"
I know. You want to tell him
"But let me, please"
"He'll be so happy, he'll make me box..."
till I collapse
"Remember I'd said, I can't live without you?"
I was wrong
The truth is...
I can't live without either of you
What's wrong?
Sanjeev is back
I don't know what to do
O beloved...
"your memories, I shall clutch to my bosom..."
and spend the rest of my life
"It's all around me... This absence..."
"Reminding me there is someone missing"
Reminding me that you're gone
"This unbearable ache is more than I can endure"
"It's all around me... This absence..."
And it's telling me to
Say no more...
Why has he come back now? What does he want?
For seven years he forgot his wife and child
Now he claims his rights? Outrageous!
I think Namrata should... - He is Namrata's husband
Does he know what the word means?
He can't come and go as he pleases
He has no rights left in this marriage
He's still Adi's father
That boy hasn't seen his father's face. He takes Raj as his...
"Desires and happiness... all swept away"
My path now leads me nowhere
"Just this prayer, just this memory..."
"only Ioneliness, only shadows"
Tears surge in my heart...
asking me to flow...
Say no more...
If I drop this coin in the well will my wish come true?
So they say
That's my coin. - Are both yours?
"No, just one"
Take either. What difference does it make?
It does make a difference. - Is it a special coin?
Is your name written on it?
"Not my name, my destiny..."
People come here to re-write their destinies
You keep both. I'll get another
One minute
No need for favours. Pick one
Even the wrong coin will work if your heart's in the right place
Anyway nobody can steal your destiny
"No arguments over who goes first, right?"
"Let's wish together, so you can't accuse me of doing you a favour."
"Where have you been all day? Sir was asking about you"
Call when you can
"I know how important family is to you"
Because you never had one
My parents took you in
"And after they passed away, I was your only family"
"I swear on Adi that I'm a new man"
Even enemies are forgiven once
"I am your husband. Give me one last chance"
"Do you want Adi to never meet his father?"
I'm staying at the Marriott
I'll wait... till you forgive me
This is Raj's mother
"I know that you and Raj love each other very much"
It'll be hard for you to part
"He grew up without his father..."
he would not want that for Adi
"I understand what you're going through"
"You are a wife and a mother too"
"I know how difficult it must be to take this decision"
But we are all with you
"You'll attend my sister's wedding, right?"
"Wrong. If the coin works, I'll come with my wife and son"
But you said you were alone and staying in this hotel?
You could say I locked myself out of my own home
"Years ago, destroying the life I had here, I went to America"
"Having suffered, I've returned to rebuild that life"
"You said, to get what you want, your heart needs to be true"
I think...
Today Namrata will come
She's here
I knew you'd come
"Sanjeev, I have... - You've forgiven me, right?"
How could you not?
You've come at a good time
Meet the one friend I have in this city
You know each other?
Very well. She almost got me to settle down
She works in my Uncle's office. My younger sister Nikki...
"whose wedding you'll attend, is a close friend of hers"
I even went to her son Adi's boarding school...
pretending to be his Dad
My Uncle assigned her the responsibility...
of finding me a suitable bride
Did something work out?
How could it? You came in the way
She's forgotten me.
You have a lot to talk about so I won't intrude
I think Raj has chosen a girl
That's why he was at the temple making a wish
And have you made your choice...
Of drink?
It feels good
It's a gorgeous night
This is the most beautiful and fragile part of a woman's body...
separating the heart from the head
The head cannot prevent the heart from wanting something
Meaning
Meaning my heart wants to stay here with you
But my head says I must go meet someone
I'll come back soon
"I should, right? - Yes"
What's the matter? Is Adi alright?
Someone's here to fetch Adi
I thought it would be good to have Adi with us too
Tell her
Please send Adi with him
Where are we going? - It's a surprise
My Dad is full of surprises
"When the boys were teasing me, he suddenly turned up at school"
"What Dad? - Raj, he's my Dad. Super-Dad!"
Your mother likes Raj too?
Yes. Everyone likes him. I like him the most
You're taking me to my Dad? - Yes
"Now, I'll always be with my Dad"
"Yes, you'll be with your Dad"
Give this to Namrata
"It's my fault, Raj"
"If I hadn't dragged you to India, none of this would have happened"
It's for him! Clown
"Now you, me and Dad will always be together"
I'll have to tell Dad
You called Miss Lobo and told her to send Adi?
"Adi, I'm not your Dad. - Not just Dad. Super Dad!"
The kids at school miss you I missed you too
"Adi's very sweet. After all, he's my son"
I haven't told him I'm his Dad
"That's your job, isn't it?"
Raj seems to be a favorite...
with Adi
The bride's looking much better than the bridegroom
Raj gave this for you
"My family It will always be with me now"
Raj is leaving today- for good
"Nikki, they're calling you"
It's time for the ceremony
It seems I've stolen your destiny
What?
Your special coin must have come to me
That's why my wish came true so quickly
That coin was yours. I got what I wished for
Then you can tell me what you'd asked for
Someone's happiness.
Aria says Raj is not my Dad
That this Uncle is my Dad
"She's lying, isn't she?"
"Mom, she's lying. Raj is my Dad"
Listen to me
"Tell him the truth, Namrata"
"Son, I'm your Dad"
You're lying. You can't be
Raj is my Dad. You are no one to me
Listen carefully. From now on you will call me dad.
I will not!
"Raj, I can't find Adi"
I've looked everywhere. I don't know where he is
I think I know where he'll be. I'll get him.
This house isn't big enough for Adi to get lost in it
Don't worry. When Raj was a boy he'd upset me in the same way
I'll look for Adi
Someone is very angry
"So, no matter what I do, he won't look at me"
Even if he does look at me...
he'll never smile at me
So he smiled. But I know he will never hug me
"I won't go with him, I'll stay with you."
You're my only Dad
"I wanted that too, but we don't always get what we want."
Your Dad is the one... who is married to your Mom.
You should call only him Dad.
You said I could always call you Dad
Your calling me Dad won't change the fact that he is your Dad
You and I have built this relationship together
It's our secret
But your relationship to your father was created by God.
Neither you nor I can change it
Can't God make a mistake?
The only thing missing
Is Adi
When I tell him...
"I'm really going to be his Dad... - Listen to me, please"
"I know. You want to tell him"
Please let me
I made a mistake
Raj is not my Dad
My real Dad -
You taught him to say that?
What a great man you are
Don't you think he's great? I met this man just two days ago
And he has already convinced my son to accept his father.
"And my son listened to him. Right, son?"
"Sanjeev, that's enough"
What did I say? I was just praising Raj
Or are you uncomfortable praising a stranger...
in your husband's presence?
"But then, Raj is no stranger"
Is he?
"If I said something to upset you, I am sorry"
I never meant to. I was only...
Great! Isn't he great? Now what?
Should I be noble too? And accept your apology?
"No, I'm not noble"
"Sanjeev, if Raj or any of us has unwittingly hurt you..."
I apologize for us all
"The entire family is noble. Why should you apologize, Uncle?"
"You took care of Namrata, gave her a job..."
and your nephew too.
What's happened to you? - I've understood everything
This man sweet-talked my son and won him over...
so that my wife would have an affair with him.
That's not true
"So, you seduced him? He must have liked that"
You're getting it wrong
So for him to wish for my wife in my presence was right?
He lied to me yesterday to cover up... Was that right?
Raj did no such thing - Stop defending him
"I am your husband, not he"
Why?
Does it hurt that much?
"Adi, my son."
"Namrata, my wife"
I'll talk to her as I please. I have the right to
I left her for seven years. And I'll do it again if I want to
You can't stop me. Let's go
I don't want to go with you.
Why should I? Just because you're my husband?
There's no need to discuss this here. It's between us.
"Sanjeev, you said what you had to in public"
Now you listen to me in public
You made me suffer the worst aspects of being a wife
Now you're the righteous husband?
"You ran away. Not for one month, or one year, but for seven years"
Why? To make money... arm in arm with another woman...
"In those seven years, did you try to find out how I was?"
"If I am alive today, it is only because I had Adi"
Adi... our son
Today our son called you Dad for the first time
And what did you do?
Instead of hugging your son you attacked Raj
Raj - who convinced your son to call you 'Dad'
This family invited you as a guest to their home...
And you insulted them
The very people who supported your wife and son...
when we had nothing.
But now I can give you and Adi anything you want
I've made so much money
"If I wanted to, I would have earned more in these seven years..."
than you could in seven lives
"But even in the worst times, I never compromised my self-respect"
That's why I am asking you to come with me
Come with you?
Tell me this: If I had left you to return after seven years...
"and asked your forgiveness, would you have taken me back?"
"If I had spent just seven hours with another man, what would you do?"
Answer me...
In front of everyone
"I'll tell you. You would kill me, wouldn't you?"
Then why don't you deserve the same punishment?
Because you're a husband?
I don't agree with society's worthless rules
which apply only to women
My patience has been tested enough
I don't want to be the perfect wife
Because I am an ordinary woman...
who has the right to live her life...
And the right to love a man who loves her equally
"Today, before everyone, I admit that I love Raj"
I worship him
"Because knowing my past, he accepted me completely"
"I cannot live without you, Raj"
"When I left, I broke up a family"
Now they're your family. Don't make the mistakes I made
