"Of fate's games"

-Are you happy now? -We just reached home.
Are you my daughter or my enemy?
No, it's not like that. We did leave on time.
But they're building the metro here, so...
All the roads are dug up.
So, we got late and missed the flight.
He's here. Speak to him.
Greetings, sister.
No, it's not.
No.
I did try.
Why will I make excuses?
It's my nephew's wedding.
Okay, I'll send the ticket for you to check.
I will come for sure.
I'll do something. Hang up for now.
Did you hear your aunt?
That I didn't book the flight tickets,
that nobody misses a flight,
and that I am making excuses.
How do I tell her my daughter ran away, so I missed the flight?
I didn't run away.
-I went to my friend's house. -Enough.
Had I run away, you wouldn't find me.
Did you hear that?
So, we must work hard all our life for them,
-and then listen to this. -Calm down.
I will lose face in our clan because of my daughter.
-Dad, please! -Calm down.
You too... Have water.
Think with a calm mind.
Cholu's getting married. Won't we go?
Think of a way to get there.
You keep quiet.
That's Cholu calling. Now he'll taunt me.
Talk to him and be calm.
Yes, Cholu.
No, son, we left 2 hours earlier.
Thanks to the metro's construction, we missed the flight.
I do many corporate gigs.
I make a lot of money also, but it's not much fun.
Quite a lot of fun today.
Don't do those shows. Do more of these. Who's stopping you?
But you gotta make money also, right?
Do 1 or 2...
Yeah, guys...
Let me through. Let me through.
That was a tight set, guys.
-Hey, thanks so much. -Liked it so much.
-See you at the next gig. -See you, bro.
I think we should also bounce like...
I've to wake up at 5 am.
It's late and I've to be a responsible driver. The usual.
-Hello. -So, I'll go. See you guys tomorrow.
-Jigs... -Bye.
-Take your leave. -Are you sure?
Yes.
-Okay. -So sorry.
All right. See you, guys.
What are you saying? Listen, I'm not doing this. I'm sorry.
Imaad sir, you...
Imaad sir, won't you do this for your brother?
Don't start with your emotional drama.
You're my junior, so I'm doing this gig. We don't do wedding gigs.
I know that, sir.
Just do this little favour for your brother.
What are you saying? I'm not doing this. I'm sorry.
Imaad sir, try to understand. They are nice people.
It'll be a hassle-free journey.
-No, just... -No...
My mom is crying, sir.
Fuck you, man! Why drag your mom into this? Idiot!
It'll be unseemly if the brother doesn't reach there.
I've promised them, Imaad sir. Please don't do this.
Do one thing. Just send me the location.
I'll send my uncle at the time you decide.
-I promise... -We're not changing our route
or our plan at all. I'm warning you.
I love you, Imaad sir. Just come here.
Fuck.
I checked on the computer, Hussain. The ticket costs 55,000.
Only one ticket is available.
Airlines loot people during the festive season.
Please do something.
Okay, Hussain.
Want some tea?
Your daughter's serving me poison anyway.
Hussain suggested that we hire a cab.
Now, how do I travel with you, Arshi, cash and gold?
Who can we trust in these times?
-We won't get a cab. -Okay, calm down. Have tea...
I don't want tea! That's all you think of!
I don't want tea!
Your BP's shooting up.
That's Cholu.
Yes, son. I'm trying.
No, Uncle. Don't worry.
-I've made the arrangements. -How?
The band that will play at my sangeet ceremony,
their bus will leave tomorrow morning from Mumbai.
I spoke to them.
I'll send the location. Be there at 5 am.
And please, Uncle, don't miss the bus.
But, Cholu, who are those people?
You know your aunt and Arshi are with me.
You understand, right? Hope it's safe.
Uncle, they're my friends. They are nice people.
You'll enjoy the music on the way. It'll be a hassle-free journey.
Okay, son.
Cholu is busy with his wedding. He's the groom.
Yet he arrange for our travel.
And look at our child!
-Setting? -A bus is leaving in the morning.
We have to board it.
Be ready at 5.
-Such a long journey... -What do we do then?
There's no other way.
Don't make faces.
Wear a salwar suit.
Make some food to carry.
Go to sleep now.
We are a bit late.
-Hope they haven't left. -No.
They'd have called had they left.
Should I call them?
Yes, if you have the number.
Call them.
I saved it.
Hello, this side Cholu's uncle.
Yes, son, we all are waiting.
Where you are reaching?
Okay. They're close by.
Why do these uncles insist on talking in English when they can't?
I spoke in Hindi. What's the problem to reply in Hindi?
What is this Europhilia, man?
They're scared as our generation is taking over the world.
Stop.
Hello.
Let Dad get in first.
I'll help with the luggage.
Come, keep that up.
This way. Come.
Come.
Welcome abroad.
Mister...
can you please not smoke?
Sir, sorry, if he doesn't smoke, he'll fall asleep, so...
-Dude, play something. -I don't know.
Increase the volume. We're on the road, after all.
Good morning.
Wow, good morning in English!
Yes, just like that.
Foreigners visit here.
They give huge tips.
Foreigners? Here?
They clean up after themselves.
You too seem like a hippie.
Son, get a plate.
You have beer?
-Yes. -Get 2, please.
-Do you have tea? -Yes.
You'll have tea?
-One more. -2 tea.
All this is making me suspicious of Cholu also.
Such indecent people.
It's so funny.
We're travelling with our daughter. I don't know what to do.
Please ignore him.
Imaad...
Please no more of your philosophy.
I'm asking seriously...
Stop looking. She won't come. Eat.
She hasn't eaten since last night.
-Should I go feed her? -Keep your voice down.
Wow, Sehwag!
-What? -You're the opener.
Please spare us.
I can't bear your PJs anymore. Just shut the fuck up.
You haven't eaten since last night. Please have something.
Why refuse food?
Please eat.
Cholu's calling. Please eat, child.
Cholu. Yes, Cholu?
You landed us in a mess.
It's not a family setting.
Auntie, did someone say something?
They don't have to.
Their bus is a smoke factory.
And they drink in the morning.
Auntie, please adjust. It's a matter of a few hours.
I am adjusting, but you know your uncle well.
Auntie, manage Uncle.
-Cholu sir... -It's just a matter of one day.
Hang up. If the sun gets high, we can't shoot. We'll lose the feel.
Auntie, I'll call you back.
Take care.
Okay.
I've hung up. Get your feel now.
Why are you getting angry?
It's your wedding. Look how happy she is.
Sir, do this... Ma'am, you bend
and you hold...
I'll show you.
You fool, I'll hold your waist.
Where are you holding?
You...
Not like that. Do this...
He knows.
You've seen DDLJ, right?
-Yes, do that. -Please bend.
Wow.
Please bend.
Wow.
Look into each other's eyes.
Hold her waist nicely.
Kiss each other now.
What? Why would I kiss my fiancee in front of everyone?
Will you make us consummate the wedding here?
Wait two minutes. Let's see.
What rubbish is this?
This rubbish gets us money, you fucker.
Or we'd be washing buffaloes' arses in the village.
Ma'am, the aroma of carrom seeds is reaching here.
Did you add that to the paratha?
Yes.
I love it.
Have some.
A few are left.
Here.
Damn.
Thank you.
-Wow, it's great! -Please pass it to them.
It's been a long time since I had home-cooked food.
I guess you're out most of the times.
Yes, ma'am, we have shows to do.
I don't go home to Himachal for 6 months.
So this is our home.
-Sorry, we didn't introduce ourselves. -Please eat, dear.
I'm Freddie.
That's Imaad, she's Sasha.
He's Jigme.
Hello.
Hi, everybody. Hello.
I just want you guys to say hello to this lovely Indian family.
Hello.
-Say hi. -Hi.
Take.
Sir, will you please pass the beer?
There.
Want some?
-We don't drink. -Want some?
Here.
Go on.
Look ahead.
Cheers.
Look, Jigs, that's our country.
All three trucks moving parallelly.
A country's character is seen on its roads.
This is herd mentality. A real sad state.
There's no hope for their thinking.
One follows the other.
Be it one lane or four,
hundreds will vie for one prize!
"I asked for you From a falling star"
Nice.
Speak to Arshi. She's embarrassing us.
Leave it.
Don't mess with her now.
She's behaving as if we're her enemies.
You know her. Let it be.
Yeah. Something like that.
-Hello. -"I asked for you..."
Yes, brother-in-law.
Yes, all is well. Yes.
"I asked for you From a falling star"
Hello.
Go aside and speak. There's some disturbance.
Hello! What? Udaipur?
-Hello. Hello... -"I asked for you from a falling star."
Hello! Hello!
Would you stop that noise?
Yes, tell me. Send me the address.
Yes, I'll get it. Okay.
Okay, how's sister?
Fine? Hello?
Sir...
Which is your favourite song?
I didn't get you.
Do you have a favourite song?
Well, he's not much into music.
All of us listen to songs.
What kind of music do you like?
I listen to old songs sometimes.
Who's your favourite?
Mukesh.
Sing a Mukesh song for us.
I can't sing.
Just try a line or two.
I haven't sung in a long time.
You have to sing a line.
He hasn't sung in a long time.
He'll sing today then.
Right, sir? Please try.
Oh, no, please.
Sir...
Okay.
"Sometimes I think..."
"As if you were made for me"
"You were"
"Amidst the stars before"
"You were brought on earth for me"
Sir, when you know nothing
about tune, rhythm or mood of the song,
how can you call our music noise? Why are you judging us?
Did we cross into Gujarat?
Freddie, stop the bus!
-What happened? -Did we cross into Gujarat already?
10 minutes ago.
Asshole, why didn't you stop then?
What happened?
-What's wrong? -Dude, we fucking drove into a dry state.
All we have is beer in the bus.
-Sorry, buddy. -U-turn...
Go slow. Go slow.
We have a situation here.
We just crossed into a dry state.
Take this. Take this.
He's logged in.
Uncle, get tea.
Sasha, Imaad, tea?
I didn't see you drink.
Ma'am, don't talk about alcohol.
It's a sin to drink.
I don't do that like them.
Good. Have this.
Freddie!
Hey, you okay?
I know.
How many hours still, man?
5 hours more.
That's it?
What disgusting people Cholu got us to travel with?
They drink first thing in the morning.
They verbally abuse in the presence of a young girl.
What could Cholu do?
He tried his best.
He made arrangements for us to reach the wedding.
Gujarat lies ahead.
When we get caught with these drunks,
you'll see the arrangements.
What do we do then?
Shall we get a cab?
We'd do that if we could!
You know I'm travelling with you and Arshi.
We have gold and money too.
You hear on the news every day.
Incidents keep taking place on highways.
May I say something?
Let things be.
We've travelled this far. We'll see in Rajasthan.
You know about Arshi.
Try something else, and she might react.
Let things be.
-Your tea ran cold. -I don't want tea.
"Where do I go?"
"Everyone left my side"
"Where do I go?"
"Everyone left my side"
"Where do I go?"
Oh, shit! Stop! Stop!
What happened?
Shit!
What happened?
Fuck!
Seriously, bro? It's not funny.
-Jigme, is it okay? Show. -What happened?
-It's not funny, seriously. -It's not funny.
-The camera lens... -Let's...
-You guys, man! -Okay, show...
You...
You like to humiliate us?
What do you want to show them?
Why don't you speak to them?
You want to show them how terrible we are?
"I won't eat."
"I won't talk." Do one thing.
Start a protest.
Print a poster saying your dad is your enemy.
Calm down.
I'm doing this for your good.
We won't benefit from this.
I'm putting up with all this for your sake!
Do one thing. Get us hanged to death.
Calm down. She'll get angry.
How do I calm down?
Am I celebrating here?
Am I celebrating?
I have no feelings, right?
Both of you
just want to humiliate me in front of others.
Now she'll start a drama outside.
Are you okay?
Hey, listen.
Okay, you can tell us.
If there's a problem...
Are your parents like this too?
Monsters!
Okay, what happened?
They're getting me engaged.
The day after, against my will.
Bloody forcing me into it.
But aren't we going to Cholu's wedding?
They're getting me engaged to Cholu's brother-in-law.
It's like a sale. Sister comes free with the brother.
Sorry, how old are you?
17.
I turn 18 tomorrow.
Fuck!
Why did they get me educated
if they were going to tie me up like cattle?
They should've killed me at birth.
It would've saved them the bloody trouble.
My life's over.
Let's go.
Have water.
I know...
you were inside for too long. It's stifling.
No problem. Unburden your heart.
We're waiting. Come back when you feel like it.
Tiger bro!
Freddie!
Good to hear your voice, man.
Where have you reached?
Udaipur awaits you.
Another 2 hours.
We might have to leave early.
Oh, man! Don't talk of leaving already.
Reach here first.
-Is Imaad with you? -Yes, he's here.
-Tiger? -Tiger.
-Hello. -Imaad brother!
Yo, TS!
What I promised in Goa...
Yeah, man, really looking forward to meeting you.
Come fast.
What did he say?
Mister...
will you be taking a halt in Udaipur?
Freddie is a bit tired, so we'll halt at a friend's place for a few hours.
I want to collect a parcel.
We'll take a break there. You finish your task and join us.
When you enter Udaipur, I'll get off.
I'll finish and call you.
Okay.
You're leaving us both here?
You said it's okay.
-Okay, come soon. -I will.
Hey, Arshi!
Do you like listening to music?
-Yeah. -What do you listen to?
Don't bother her. The child's upset.
Ridiculous!
She needs permission to speak now.
Might as well just handcuff her, you know.
Call her a child and get her married.
I don't know.
-Where are we? -I have no clue.
No reception, man.
Jigme, you have network?
None.
Shit.
Who's that?
Sir, do you know where Tiger's den is?
Yes.
Sir, where?
What just happened?
What exactly are you doing again?
It's the mystical ways of my ancestors
from Tibet.
-It's that way. -You sure?
You idiot, that's where the music is coming from.
Tiger!
My brother!
-How's it going? -Good. Good.
-Mr TS. -Imaad.
Hello, Tiger sir.
My lovely.
So good to see you.
-How are you? -Great.
-Who is this? -This is our new member.
Jigme. Okay.
-Nice to meet you. -I like this.
Thank you.
-Anyone else in there? -Yeah, there's this family.
They're travelling with us to Ajmer.
Call them.
-No... -I don't think they'll want to come.
Why won't they?
Not just Tiger's hotel, but his heart is big too.
-Understood? -Hello, madam.
Hello, young girl. I have come in
so you can come out. Come on, let's have tea.
Oh, no, we're fine.
You've come to my house for the first time.
It's festival season, and you're refusing tea. It's upsetting.
No, please don't bother. We're fine.
Do one thing, freshen up inside.
Have water and tea. Please come.
Actually, you see,
I accepted their challenge to get you out.
I'll lose face.
-Please come. -Okay, let's go.
Come.
You talk as if this is your palace. How do you like the place?
Where is your husband?
He got off midway. He'll join us soon.
-He's in Udaipur. -Where are you from?
We're from Mumbai.
I'm actually a king.
But I run a hotel these days.
I meant to ask where your ancestors are from.
Ajmer.
Ajmer?
That means you're a true Rajasthani.
You're our people!
Aren't we your people, Tiger?
Who are we then?
You...
are dearer than dear ones.
Sasha,
sorry, we're troubling you guys.
It's you who's troubled.
And it's your own doing.
No, you may go.
You okay?
I'm sorry we are bothering you guys.
You guys didn't have to get involved in this.
You just entered college, right?
-Yeah. -So like...
what do you want to be or do in life?
Right now I just want to be you.
Tea!
Tiger, we're having tea?
This is no ordinary tea, but it's special tea.
"Orange-hued"
"Beloved"
"Welcome to my..."
I like this guy.
In tune, right?
Cheers.
-Cheers! -Cheers, guys.
Madam, say cheers.
I suffer from acidity.
I don't have tea.
Oh, come on!
-You have. -My child doesn't have tea at all.
Madam...
you turned out to be a fake Rajasthani.
You're from Mumbai.
You took upon the culture there.
It's not like that.
You have two options.
Either...
I call your husband and take his permission...
-No... -...or you honour my request.
I'll have lemon juice.
Have a sip.
Great.
You too.
Cheers, ma'am.
You're here.
Come on. There's your stage.
-Wow! -Play well.
This is gonna be fun.
I told you Tiger's cool.
-He's the man. -He's the man.
Yes, one more.
Madam!
"O darling, my beloved"
"O beloved"
"My darling made me fall in love"

-Hello. -Who's speaking?
-I'm Dayaram. -Where are you?
-I'm at my restaurant. -Restaurant?
-Where is it? -Near the highway.
-On the way to Udaipur. -Do one thing.
Is the owner of the phone around? It's a woman.
Please give her the phone.
Madam, get up. You have a call.
Get up. You have a call.
Get up.
-Cholu? -Auntie, where are you?
Uncle has gone berserk. He yelled at me.
I don't know, Cholu.
-Hey, uncle. -Tell me where you are.
We were having tea in Udaipur.
Uncle was about to head to the police station there.
-What? -I stopped him.
He's very angry.
Cholu, I... Arshi!
Thank God I spoke to you. I was also scared.
-Where? -They're coming.
Listen, send me your location.
I'll ask Arshi to send you the location.
-Arshi! -Where are they?
They're coming. They're held up.
Arshi!
Arshi, get up.
Get up. Where's your phone?
Take your phone. Send this location to your dad.
Sasha, please get up.
Arshi, get up.
Dear, send this location to your dad.
Wonder where we are.
I made a huge mistake.
Wonder what I did. I don't recall anything.
All my things...
The money is all there.
Let's go out. Do you recall anything?
No, Mummy.
My head is spinning. Send the location to Dad.
Here.
Hello, Auntie. You're 2 hours away from Udaipur.
-Okay. -Imaad.
I've sent the location to Uncle. Stay there, okay.
Which place is this?
-Uncle. -Yes?
How did we reach here?
You came on this bus.
And they came here and sleep.
I didn't drive.
Or did I?
Fuck.
Uncle, who drove the bus?
He's the one. He's the deliver.
Me?
-Yes. -"Deliver"?
-He drove you. -I brought us here safely.
We're still alive, man.
Jigme, hand me your phone.
-It fell, remember? -What's the pin?
0666.
-The Devil's number. -Apt for you.
-They're laughing. -Yes, laugh.
Too good.
Have tea, sir.
It's laced with opium.
Cool, man. Cool.
Opium in tea.
What?
Uncle, please give me some water.
He wants to bathe.
I'm really hungry, man.
Uncle, do you have something to eat?
It's only for me, and nothing is left.
Okay.
-Do you have any supplies? -Yes.
Okay, keep them ready.
Are you all right?
Why do you look so scared?
I messed up.
Yes, but why are you scared?
You didn't make a mistake.
Even if you did, you can say it was just a mistake.
Yes, but...
I never make such mistakes. He'll be very angry.
-Who? -Arshi's dad.
What's his name?
Hail Lord Shiva.
Am I intruding?
Can I ask you something?
Why don't you fight?
Why don't you run away?
You know you're screwing up your life, right?
How much?
I ran away to my friend's place,
refusing to go to Rajasthan.
But then Mom cried a lot over the phone, so...
I can't see her like that.
It's too fucked up.
Either they get destroyed or I do.
Are you married?
I knew that was coming.
Meaning?
I knew you'd ask me that.
No, not yet.
And that's because I chose not to.
And your parents...
-They must've insisted. -Yes, yes.
They sure want me to marry,
but I will marry when I want to.
With the one I want to marry.
Or I might not marry ever.
Has disaster befallen because I didn't marry?
You got married.
Look at yourself.
And what hurts me the most...
is that, instead of thinking of me,
Dad is sacrificing me for his society.
It's so easy for him.
But they are your parents first.
They shouldn't be doing this.
What kind of people are they?
They're typical.
So, as soon as possible,
find a so-called good suitor and get them married.
They have tick marks, you know.
For them, good home, one tick.
Graduate, one tick.
And transfer your responsibility
to another's home. That's it.
This is how they're conditioned.
Like a concentration camp.
That's why I'm telling you
just fight.
Run away.
Be selfish. Think about yourself for a change.
What difference will it make?
Eventually, they'll get used to it, no?
I did.
I tried a lot.
I cried and fought.
I ran away. I gave up food.
Then I saw Mom's face and...
I couldn't do it.
Even after trying all this, what was the end result?
I am going with them, right?
To sacrifice myself.
I'm just tired.
I'm sure you married young.
Thereafter you did as your husband said.
What if something happens to your husband?
What are you saying?
I'm telling the truth.
If something happens to him, you will be lost.
What and how to do something, you won't know.
Your husband is everything for you.
Your life is zero.
What did you achieve by getting married?
It's not like that.
You're always intimidated...
trying to keep your husband happy.
Look at me.
I am not scared.
I'm free.
I do as I please.
I live on my own terms.
I'd prefer dying than living like you.
I wish I had the courage to kill myself.
Society and family also matter.
You are unbelievable, woman!
You say typical things.
You should get offended with what I said.
But you're still talking about society and family.
They're leeches. They suck your blood.
Subjugate a girl when she's a child, subjugate her when she marries,
subjugate her when she becomes a mother to the extent that
she won't think about herself even if she wants to.
When a woman is in trouble,
the society goes missing. And that's when...
you can't do anything because you won't be capable.
It's not like that.
It's not?
I came to cook because I wanted to.
You came because you're conditioned to.
You think it's your duty, and you behaved like a machine.
You'll cook even if you don't want to. Why?
You know. I always wanted my 18th at Bali or something
with all my friends in a wild party.
How typical.
But in a weird sort of way...
something like this is also beautiful.
But I also realise that...
this is the last beautiful moment in my life.
Where are you from?
I'm from Tibet.
Tibet what?
-Have you heard of China? -Yes.
-Do you know where it is? -Yes.
Near Pakistan.
My country Tibet is
between Pakistan and China, a small place.
I see.
-China captured it. -Okay.
My parents escaped
-and came to India. -Came here.
-I was born here. -I see.
-Now I live in America. -America.
-Do you know America? -Yes.
-Where is it? -Near Pakistan.
How old are you, uncle?
-80 years old. -80?
-Yes. -Wow!
When was the last time you had sex?
What happened?
Nothing. You asked so directly...
When did you?
I don't remember.
Don't you feel like it?
When did you hug him?
I mean, when did you last embrace him?
I understand "hug."
When?
Or when did he hug you?
When you felt lonely or sad or just lovingly.
Look, Sasha, it's not like you think.
He thinks about everyone.
He takes care of everyone.
He doesn't even let you lean on his shoulders.
How will he think about others?
Who all are in your family?
Mom, Dad and elder brother.
No wonder.
-What? -Someone's there to look after them.
That's why you can work.
My brother is in the US. In America.
With his wife and kids.
Mom and Dad live in Indore.
And my brother hasn't come to India in 2 years.
How much do you earn?
Around 2,50,000 a month.
You must own a house in Mumbai.
No, I live on rent.
And I look after my parents.
You were saying, so...
Because I can.
Arshi can be like that too if you let her.
Or...
she'll live in fear all her life like you...
worrying about her husband's opinion.
Hail Lord Shiva.
Where are you from?
Tibet, uncle!
Tell me something you really want to do
but couldn't.
You can't even say it, let alone do it.
I want to go away for 2 days...
alone...
without him and Arshi.
I want to be alone.
Where I won't have to think or do anything.
Even 2 days will suffice.
Do it.
How?
I have a husband. And Arshi too. Who will look after them?
If I go even for a day, problems arise.
You can't even do such a simple thing.
Soon Arshi will also become like you.
Freddie, Jigme, come.
Take the food.
I'll give this.
Okay, here we go.
10, 9, 8,
7, 6, 5, 4,
3, 2, 1
Happy birthday.
Thank you.
How dare you hit me!
What were you doing with my daughter?
Daughter what...
I was wishing her on her birthday.
So you can just hug her?
Filthy man.
It's her birthday.
-I was wishing her. -You'll wish her before me?
You'll wish her, rascal?
Yes, I will.
-What's going on? -It's normal. Everyone does.
You were missing with my wife and daughter for 4 hours,
and then you touched her!
What rubbish are you saying?
Who was missing?
Mind you tongue, understood?
You're so insecure, scoundrel.
You vent your insecurity and frustration on your wife and daughter.
Do you know she wants to fucking kill herself?
-Imaad! -You bastard! Because of you.
Calm down. Let's go there.
Come.
Arshi, let's take him.
-Good journey? -Yes.
Here are your belongings.
What's the hurry?
Better to get rid of others' belongings.
I was going to send my boy,
but you were coming anyway, so I asked. Hope you didn't mind.
Not at all.
That's enough for now.
Imaad bro!
-Full kurta and all. -It's my wedding after all.
Hey, what's up? Congratulations.
-That's Sasha. -Thank you.
-That's Freddie. -Hello.
-And that's Jigme. -Welcome. Welcome.
Hope you're all fine.
What were you doing in Udaipur yesterday?
All were scared here!
Shall we discuss that later?
Okay, get some rest.
Rakesh!
Show them to the guest house. Be with them.
Show them the venue also.
Apply turmeric to the groom.
Arshi, apply turmeric to your brother.
Wait.
Apply it nicely.
Practise for you wedding.
Practise now.
Give me a smile.
She's tired after all the travelling.
Have some. Have a little, come on.
Sasha...
your room is there.
-Where? -There.
Should I keep your luggage there?
Why?
Separate room for girls and boys.
-Separate. -But I don't want a separate room.
I will sleep with them.
-With them all? -Yes, Rakesh.
You have a problem with that?
I'll arrange for food.
Yes, please.
Flies have swarmed in before the food.
Fuck, man, I feel so bad for Arshi.
I wish we could do something for her.
What can we do?
She won't do anything for herself.
Nothing we can do about it.
The food is on the way.
Rakesh, can you just take us to the dargah?
Yes, very religious.
All religion come there.
And you ask for anything,
you get everything there.
Nice, I like that.

Where's Arshi?
She's getting dressed.
What's taking so long?
"You like my different thinking. So here I am"
"We're stuck in this mess Can't get out"
"I often wondered if we'll meet"
"Now that we met I ride on the wave of joys"
"My wavy scarf"
"My wavy printed scarf Costs 900 rupees only"
"My stubborn man Go buy it for me"
"I'm a fearless boat"
"Crashing against the waves"
"Don't be stubborn"

"My wavy scarf"
"My wavy scarf flutters In the bazaars of Jaipur"
"My wavy scarf flutters In the bazaars of Jaisalmer"
"My wavy scarf flutters In the bazaars of Jodhpur..."
Yes, sister.
What sister?
500,000?
You could've arranged at least for a million.
What's lacking with you?
You're the only maternal uncle. What will people say?
I'm trying, right?
The share market is down.
-Go from here. -Sorry.
-Click the groom's photos. -Sorry.
We're talking here.
Arshi's wedding is after 4 months.
I have to make arrangements.
Even then I'm doing my best.
What are you doing?
A man does everything for his honour if he wants to.
If you were in trouble, you should've told me. I'd have helped.
At least we wouldn't lose face.
You know under which circumstances I came. I still made it, right?
-It's to do my bit. -Don't talk too much.
You've seen your daughter's behaviour.
Everyone talks about her.
Would you get a good suitor without our help?
We did it, right?
She's my niece. But what do you care?
We're not doing this again.
No more favours, okay?
Wow! Is that your second helping?
Where did he get alcohol from?
-Rakesh, did you eat? -Yes.
-Your family is here, right? -Yes.
So, you may go.
Just go and be with your family. We're done.
Guys, let's party.
It's my fucking birthday.
Let's go to where you guys are staying.
I wanna get drunk.
Your father has clout here.
He's going to come after us.
Come on, guys. It's my 18th birthday.
I'm a fucking adult. I can do anything.
From tomorrow, I'm fucked anyway, so...
Okay, just sit for 2 minutes.
Let them finish their food.
Just give me 2 minutes, okay?
Arshi, should I get you food?
Bro, go.
It was great fun. The kids worked very hard.
They worked really hard.
Arshi's coming with us.
We'll drop her after some time, so don't worry.
Looking for your husband again?
If I could get his permission...
Enjoy your freedom for a while.
He must be busy.
Okay, I...
Sit here a while. Okay?
Sure.
She's Arshi's younger aunt.
Hello.
You know her. She's Sasha.
If it weren't for them, we wouldn't have reached on time.
They're nice people.
I'll leave. We have an early start tomorrow.
I'll be back.
Sasha,
I want to tell you something.
Yes.
What you think about Arshi,
what you feel, it's not like I don't get it.
Perhaps I agree too, but...
the quagmire of our society is hard to get out of.
The rest is all Arshi's fate.
Leave it. No point discussing this.
Okay, I'll leave.
I'll see you out.
Come.
Every society
has its share of good and evil.
Forget about good and evil.
You stay in your space, and I'll stay in mine.
These discussions are pointless.
We came here on a job, and we're done.
Why do you feel...
I'm not happy where I am?
I mean, managing my home
and looking after him and Arshi...
But I never said that.
What you're doing is also right.
In fact, it's difficult.
My mother does it too.
It's really commendable.
Now, whether you're doing this willingly or out of obligation
is for you to answer.
The problem is that you're still
talking about yourself.
Because you can't see beyond yourself.
You think, because Arshi is your daughter,
she belongs to your society and thinks like you,
so you're dragging her into this.
Nobody has the right to do that.
You're into music.
Can you sing every song in the same tune?
No, right?
Yet every tune has its place and value.
Likewise, we are both right in our own ways.
The tune is right, but our songs are different.
You feel I lack in some ways.
Perhaps I find you lacking too.
Of course.
What do you think?
What's lacking in me?
This.
The way you asked me what's lacking in you.
That's your biggest flaw.
You get angry easily.
You lose your cool on little things.
By shouting and fighting,
you don't have to show everyone that women are equal to men.
They can do everything like men.
Saying that shows your weakness.
Arshi...
Go. Come back soon.
You have an early start tomorrow.
-See you. -I'm coming.
-See you. -See ya.
Women like us fight so that
women like you don't have to fight in your world.
And the world you're sending Arshi into,
she will have to fight a lot there.
If I were in Arshi's place...
I'd have run away.
You're here?
Where's Arshi?
She's coming.
Leave it.
I'll do it.
What's wrong?
-I'm doing it. -Now onwards I'll do it.
I'm such a lowly person
that I can't even manage my undergarments?
You're not lowly.
Your grandma did it,
so did your mom. I'm doing it as well.
Arshi will do it too.
Do you mind if I do it from now onwards?
Your family?
Society?
Shall I say what I truly feel?
To hell with the society!
What the fuck!
What are they doing here?
Have they run away or something?
