This hallowed home of ours...
we hold sacred
Here we dreamt our dreams
Like a prayer in a temple
Like a ray from the skies
Here we find succor
We sing to the glory of our Lord
"Unto to Redeemer of His flock, we pray"
You won't get this
Lord, take care of Ma. Take care of Om and Jagadish too
9:30. Get to the factory. 10:30. Cassette distribution meeting
11 am meeting with Rehman. Agenda, piracy
2pm. Recording the new album 3:30pm. Shekhar
Put my agenda on that list. Got to find a girl for you
Ma, there's a time for everything. It'll happen in it's own time
At times, one must take the initiative...
and in yesterday's newspapers I have placed an advertisement...
along with our phone numbers
Looks like the calls are coming in. Not my call, Not yet
Yes Saraswati Batra speaking. Three daughters?
They have taken computer courses? Floral arrangements too?
Wonderful! Fair
Great! Tall
Gulmohar Villa on Juhu beach? That huge old mansion?
Grand! - I see. Let's talk later
Why don't you use this car? I will, of course I will
When? All in good time
Namaste, sir. (Greeting) How are you Ramprasad?
To that usual everyday question I usually lie everyday
You lie? About being fine
You aren't fine
How could I? I want to become a singer
I took up the liftman's job here in hope that you'd notice me someday
I sing extremely well. Would you like to hear...?
Not now. Only in-between floors
That was folk, but I can change it to rap
Let's talk later
I told you. Try to understand. I'll try to put in a word
Mr Om, why did you lodge a police complaint? He's a poor guy
Because you are a traitor who pirates my music
So what's wrong? It's only business. If I make a few cents pirating...
I can spare a bit for you too. Fast-forward your life, Mr Om
Don't you ever step into this office.
Peace Mr Om, peace
Let me know if you ever need me
It's a treacherous world and I'm honest
Like that, Shekhar?
These KK-Mix guys are trying to pass off a re-mixed old number
This song isn't working
Shekhar, he says KK's mix won't work!
Better give him on anotherjob
What's wrong with my number? Not one, several
The original is a classic. And you...
Rape...?
I have raped so many songs but all my rapes are super-duper hits
My liftman can sing better
Then call your liftman
Yes sir? - Here's the moment...
you've awaited all your life. If you can sing today...
you'll be singing for the rest of your life
This is an insult to KK-Mix! I have mixed a superhit
Om, you have proved your marketing genius
Ramprasad is transformed into the latest singing sensation RP
All this my friend, by dint of money
Not because of money. He's capable
Oh yes, I know your philosophy. Love is mightier than money
But love cannot beget you money; yet money can buy love
That's why my family is with me and that's why you're a loner
You are with me. Because of Love, Not for money
How's Jai?
I hope he gets his degree and settles down
Come in with the chequebook
We've been childhood friends. Don't hesitate about money...
if it concerns Jai's education. He's my brother too
Please sign there
Here's a million. ForJai. Repayable when able
You have taken God's place for me on earth
How's Jagadish? - Jagadish? Oh, he's fine
I'm sure he's going to make it bigger than Jai, despite his education here
He's so fast!
Not even I can catch up with him. He wants to outpace time
You'll know more once the principal has noted your attendance record
Do you know how many classes you attended this semester?
What a brilliant record!
You will see the principal at nine am tomorrow
Stop going around with that bunch. - I'll try to, sir
Jags! I'm dead! Dad will kill me! Why...?
Only you can do something!
We'll see tomorrow
Where are you going? To class
Latest printout of the class attendance
Something's wrong with the computer! Who got the printout? You or I...?
Jags! Guess what happened? - My attendance is 90 percent
Never mind and pay up the internet cafe. 150 bucks
You took pocket money five days ago. Pay your obeisances
Hold on... here's a fifty
Also keep this coin
What do I do with this buck? Son, that coin...
was the first token your father placed at our shrine
You're always running out of money. Keep the coin. It augur well for you
Good-luck coin...? Yes
Hi Jai! How are you?
How is Om? How is Ma?
She must be standing right there to hear my letter
Stop chattering. Read on
America is a great country. People here are very hard-working
This is a land full of opportunities if you want to make it in life
All I miss are Ma's love and home-cooked food
Tell Ma that my taste buds are always tingling to memories of her dishes
Jags, take a look, is Ma in tears? Is she wiping her tears?
If it's evening now, Om must've changed into casuals
Yes Ma...
Om... Jai sends you his regards. May he be happy
Anyway Jags, I can't write anymore. Any more of this and I'll cry
Take care of yourself. My regards to everyone
Jagadish, tell him I'll mail him his money soon
What else did Jai write? Ma, the letter is over
Are you forgetting something...? Om... girl... wedding...?
Come on
Son, you won't refuse me, will you? Refuse what, Ma?
I have chosen a girl for you. What...?
No refusing
She will see you tomorrow at the club
You will see her, won't you?
After my life
Isn't he looking cute?
Give me that hand
What are you upto, Ma?
Are you here to see Shanti? Yes
Ma ends up choosing this one for me?
I was shocked when I heard your name
You too aren't what your name suggests (Shanti: Peace)
What to do? God paired us off, did He?
That's a colourful dress
You look like a movie hero
I wanted to wear a suit. But little brotherJagadish forced me into this
We're three of us. Jai is the other brother. He's studying in America
Om-Jai-Jagadish! It's like a prayer
Our photo
When we were kids
Have you ever fallen in love at first sight?
I have just chosen my mate for life! And his name is Om
What are you doing, Shanti?
He promotes new singers
So I think I'll sing for him
I tell you, I love you
What have I landed myself in? So horribly out of tune
Now I'd like to hear Om saying that to me in front of everyone
If I must, I must
How do you feel? I feel like a scapegoat
I welcome students from all over the country...
who are participating in this finale of...
Best of Best Generation Next
Two teams have made it to the finals
The girls' team from Bangalore. And the boys from our college
The theme is something your generation doesn't believe in
Marriage
I'll marry you
I'll be yours forever
Whatever you want...
I'll always do, I swear
Oh how I wish...
"you'd make love to me all your life..."
endless love
I'll marry you
I'll be yours forever
Whatever you want...
I'll always do, I swear
Oh how I wish...
"you'd make love to me all your life..."
endless love
"My first romance, my first love..."
"without you, my love life's miserable"
In the pursuit of desires...
"I too have learnt how to wake sleepless nights"
My love, my darling...
I'll marry you
I'll be yours forever
Any girl will die for me
Every girl pines for me
"Day and night, I chant your name I pine..."
I'm dying to take you in my arms
Then tell me, why this distance?
I'll marry you
I'll be yours forever
Oh how I wish...
"you'd make love to me all your life..."
endless love
Puja from Bangalore... where is she? In the other bus, maybe
Sorry, I missed my bus
You're going to be on that bus before it reaches Bangalore
Somehow I don't know what held me back
You've taken a liking to me
I know, from that line in your song
Any girl will die for me
At least 15 romances spring up at every college fest
Yes, and by the end of every fest, every romance has dried up
Not necessarily
What wish did you make? - Can't tell you that
Okay...
I just wished some love stories wouldn't end with these fests
Hey stop
Didn't I tell you? You'd get the bus before it gets to Bangalore
Goodness! The prayers
Lovely place
Just imagine... right here...
a skyscraper with a flat on every floor
Sea-facing balconies on every storey...
making every passer-by wish he was here
But would you take away someone else's dream...
to make your dream come true?
Whose dream am I taking away? - My late father's
Ms Tanya, in 20 years since my father died...
not for 20 seconds have we felt his absence
Our home is our temple. No one in this family ever forgets that
So no one gave you a chance to forget?
How about me giving you one chance?
I've only written in the figure "1". Fill in as many zeros as you fancy
Then you'll see how easy forgetting is
Are you joking? Or are you illiterate?
I'm lettered, but not for sale
Is it the wrong time on a wrong day?
No, you're welcome anytime. My decision won't change
Nice knowing a man who can't be bought whatever the price
But if you want to sell...
Are you responding to our ad? Not quite what you assume
I'll see her out
Om, how did you find her? Forget it, Ma
Your exams are around the corner and you're keeping up at nights
What are you upto? Studies? Or are you at the computer?
I make my grade, don't I? In studies, in sports, entertainment
You ask my principal what I mean to the college
I need a loan to buy a software. Loan...?
Yes. Loan. I'll pay it back
You will...? First, prove something to me
Prove...? What did Jai prove to you?
You're spending millions on him. - Cunning! He's using Jai
Jai knows where he's headed. He's focussed, he's ambitious
What do you want to do with your life?
What I want to do?
I want to beat you
For me, that will be a happy day. - Don't get sentimental
Who can beat you? My loan, please. Get lost
You won't marry me without a dowry? Goodness! Help me... someone help
What's going on? - Let's take a look
She's the one who fooled Om
Watch, I'll give her a taste of fun!
Right at the wedding altar! How dare you ask for dowry?
What happened, lady? I had To run away from my wedding
My fiance's father is greedy!
At the eleventh hour, he demanded a million from my father!
No, only 800,000
800,000...? - Okay, 400,000 will do
And the sad part is, he kept mum
Don't cry, come with me. Oh no... no...
Come with me. - Let go of my wife's arm!
Let go of her. This is a shoot. Let her sit on the pillion
I'll miss out on my tv programme. Don't you watch Mtv? Drop me, please
Where have you brought me?
Why here... in a haunted house? Haunted house! Come in
I told you, it's a tv programme. It's all a sham! I'm faking
I'm for real, my mother's for real and my brother is for real
Om went and got married? Wrong
I warned Cyrus... Who Cyrus... what Cyrus?
What happened, Ma...?
He knows me!
My brother's bride. Bride...?
Do you like her? - Bride!
But why have you eloped?
Did your parents object? Only Om objected
Who are these guys? - You're watching MTV Scapegoat
You are the scapegoat
I want you to meet Agesha my sister-in-law to-be
Scapegoat
Om! My sister-in-law is here
Whose sister-in-law? Agesha, your bride
Be seated
Your only daughter? Yes
Lovely... What...?
Tree
That tree is about a hundred years old
And this is a lovely house
And this house is also about a hundred years old
Even my brother is hundred years old
Can I ask you something? Straight from the heart...
Love's no tv show for fun
Love is life. Love is an emotion...
that touches hearts, enthralls for a lifetime, forever
Sorry, did I say something wrong? How do you manage that candour?
I remember the sincerity with which you showed me your childhood photo
That sincerity I liked. I see that candour in you again
Can I ask you one more thing?
What will it be for you?
An arranged marriage or love marriage?
Love marriage
One day, I met her...
and she enthralled me
When she held my gaze...
I was spellbound...
but she said it all...
I even tried to get away...
"but when I looked back, there she was, right in front of me"
"Then I smiled and she smiled back; when I took a step, she came along"
"Then we became breathless, and a moment stood stilled"
And then, we were in love
That's our love-story
That's our life-story
3 months, 28 days and 8 hours ago we fell in love
You're crazy
Why do you drag him everywhere? He won't leave us alone
What does that mean? - You're bananas
I'll be home by eight. Yes, I'm with Jai. Brian is also with us
Why talk to your mother like that? Like how?
So irritably...? Because she irritates me
At times, I hate her. Maybe Because of the familiarity?
When you're far from home, you realise...
what mother means, what a family means
This monkey is hovering around all the time...
particularly when I'm with you
Yes, because of you
You're seeing my parents today
After we drop Brian. Won't take long
Now smile and give an okay
Watch! The poor thing will fall off
Just flatter Mummy... it'll do just fine
Go on, I'll be right back. Come soon
Giri should be here soon. Let me show you around
We built this house a decade ago, outside the city
We're just 20 minutes away from town
And Giri loves the hustle-bustle
Say, what's your favourite dish?
Indian
You turn out to be exactly like Giri
Who's Giri?
Giri Saxena. Nitu's Papa. Jai Batra
That's your Mummy?
I took her for your sister
You know Giri hasn't changed in these 25 years
In my stupidity, I took your simplicity for sex appeal
Wonderful names. Om, Jai and Jagadish
Why Om-Jai-Jagadish? Daddy wanted names that...
could be said all in one breath. Therefore... Om, Jai and Jagadish
Jai wants to build the fastest car in the world
And where would you drive your fastest car? On Indian roads?
Let's think about that once the car has been designed
Is this flat of yours on Juhu sea-facing?
Not flat. Villa. Yes, it's sea-facing
How big is it?
Nothing too large. Some are hard put to make out what's larger...?
Our home, or our hearts?
One day, I found her
"She looked at me and she blossomed like a flower"
"In my wondrous seasons, it was an exotic thing to happen..."
"a mild drizzle under a mellow sun"
"Then I hid under a church awning and she stood under a tree..."
when lightning struck...
"she ran to me, in fear of thunder"
And then, we were in love
That's our love-story
That's our life-story
Landed the job! My project is through
I'm elated
You'll see Jai here. Look into the camera when you speak
Hi Om
Jai... how are you?
I'm fine, how are you? - Okay, I'm okay
What about your results? - They're out
Hi sister-in-law
How have you been? Fine. Tell us About your results
Results? As expected
I topped the college
Is this how you deliver great news? Yes! Why are you underplaying?
I'm so happy, I could hug you! Get back to India right away
One more good news. Tell me
An automobile giant has offered me a job. It's about my project
I don't want to lose out on this opportunity
So returning home will be a bit difficult
You have bagged such a good offer and that's just as well
People with education go out to serve that country
I'd rather that you returned to serve your country
Daddy used to say, lose your land, and you have lost everything
We ought to be together, Jai. Right now, I need you, Jai
E-mail from Jai?
Jai has topped his college. Congratulations, son. Bless you
Enough of it, now come home. For five years...
I have only seen you growing up in pictures. Now I want to see you
Om, why did it black out?
Broken connection, happens sometimes
Ma told me, at the end of the story...
everything works out fine
If not, the story isn't over yet
I'm home, Ma
Bless you, son
Mummy, why is everybody screaming?
"Through the coming and going of times, of seasons..."
"may love never fade from hearts"
"Unto each other yive strength..."
"if need be die for each other"
"In joy and sorrow let us come together..."
may we never part
"Unto each other grant succour"
This hallowed home of ours...
we hold sacred
Here we dreamt our dreams
3 large white rums. With Pepsi
With Om...? Shut up. I got To talk To him...
about Nitu. Besides, we brothers are meeting up after years
It's a new drink. I ordered it. Yes, give it a try
But I don't take cold drinks. Yive it a try, for our sakes
Cheering a cold drink?
What drink is this?
This drink will become popular
Isn't she beautiful?
Very beautiful
Jagadish, just look. She's exquisite
What are you staring at, Jags? So beautiful
She and Agesha would yo along well. I'll talk to Ma
To Nitu
I would like to introduce you to my little brothers
This is Jai
That's Jagadish
I tried to evade them, but they forced me to drink some rum
Friends, in our times...
where will you find brothers who love so dearly?
My brothers are like my limbs
Get out
Time to buy a bigger car. This is the one that stays
Jagadish... - Take care of that kid. He's high
Playing big brother. Jagadish, you knock
What's up?
Tonight, we're happy! Reason being...
Jai has found a daughter-in-law for you
I even okayed her
But who is she?
She's a foreigner. But she's Indian
Say yes, Ma. - Ma's over there
Say yes, Ma
Say yes
Say yes, Ma... one minute! Happy days! Here again
Ornate bangles on her arms
Wedding music on the shehnai
Ornate bangles...
and the wedding shehnai...
and henna-dyed feet...
it'll be a happy wedding
Happy days are here again
"Somewhere between refusing and relenting..."
I fell for this marriage
"Sweetheart, she was yours until yesterday..."
"now she's a sister-in-law to me"
"There's someone, somewhere for you. Marriages are made in heaven"
"Somewhere, sometime, loving hearts come close"
"The goddess of fortunes has come to make a heaven out of my home"
"To weave glittering, golden dreams of joys into my life"
My mother is blessing you
May we never part
"God spare our home the evil eye"
"May never God's face be turned away from us"
I swear...
by my mother's love for me...
we'll love each other so much...
"everyone in the world will be jealous of us"
"Whatever anyone says, your writ runs in the family"
"We'll stay together forever, you and I have promised each other"
Happy days are here again
Jai, say hi to the guests
Excuse me Mrs Saxena, may I have a word with you?
Ma was saying that you hired this huge Mercedes?
We have some guests who have flown in from America, some from Delhi
Nitu can't possibly take this car... it's going to be very embarrassing
I would've conceded but...
that car is part of many memories, of my Daddy, Ma
And it's our lucky car. I took Agesha home in that car
But this one little thing will break Nitu's heart
Nitu is mature, she'll understand. Try and understand, Om
Jagadish, tell Ma to go home and prepare for the reception
Take Nitu home in our car. That car...?
Brother! Your turn now
Your brother-in-law-cum-chauffeur at your service, dear sister-in-law
Drive carefully. - I'll try
Move it! Batra family on the move
Stalling...
Let's take a look
Jagadish, take a look
Can't make out a thing
Here's hoping it isn't clogged dirt. Come on...
put to the real test your five years of American education. Get going
Nitu, stay inside. It won't look too nice
What about fixing a junk car on your wedding day? Does that look nice?
My Ma had another car waiting didn't she?
Oh come on, it's okay. - No it isn't okay Jai
Sister-in-law, Jai is jacked
Never expected you to be up so early
But I am an early-riser
Early to bed, then early to rise
And the dark circles under his eyes tell us he hasn't slept all night
Which firm have you decided to join? All three offers are equally good
But I'm thinking in terms of... Choose the job that gives you...
the best scope of advancement. - I'm waiting for the day...
when you'll build the fastest car in the world
Jai, just do it
What's all this? Nothing much
Just my stuff, my stock of mineral water, juices
My exercise kit, etc. Mamma sent it
Did you have to get it from your Mummy?
We would've bought it for you
I guess, that's a mother's love. Like when Jai was in America...
his mother would send over... what do you call those...
those sweet gramflour-balls and the mango pickle
So my Ma sent me this stuff
Careful. Juice cartons on the right
Changing lifestyles
Sorry, I had to change my dress
Rice, please. Mummy sends you her regards
The food also looks too spicy. It's no good for your health
Sister-in-law...
I hear your Dad runs a roadside Indian eatery in America
