Laatu

These amazing songs have made the morning even pleasant.

I've a fantastic playlist awaiting for you.

So, the next song is...

Yes, I am talking about you.

The one who's smiling right now. It's for you.

Guess the song.

-Hey, Laatu! -Yes?

Give me the thin comb.

Use the one you already have. It's not like you need to remove lice.

Look at him, Dad!

Pass me the bottle.

Isn't it too early for that?

-Hey, brother. -Yes.

My hair is rough and dry. What should I do?

-You should apply eggs. -Yes.

You cannot make scrambled eggs for your father...

and you advise others to use eggs.

Do you know that he drank a little too much last night?

Greetings, Dad.

-Laatu. -Yes!

Sprinkle some water on the streets.

As if the streets are going to faint!

"Sprinkle some water."

Dad, charge him for a haircut and a massage.

Give it to me.

Hail the Goddess.

It isn't Diwali that you have put up so many lights!

Switch them off.

-Laatu! -Yes.

Yes. I'll switch those lights off, just let this let me live on.

It doesn't cost me much to have you around anyway. Don't worry.

Laatu, do I pay you to play with the switches?

No, you don't pay me at all.

Should I slap you?

Laatu, switch on the light.

Dad, I might injure someone.

Are you going to cut the hair with scissors or with a light bulb?

My father is crazy.

He switches lights off even when we are bathing.

Do you need lights or water while you bathe?

Brother, my grandpa is doing much better now.

When we were kids...

he used a lantern instead of a light bulb while teaching us.

Really? What did you become then?

I became an officer.

Can't you see that I am a hairdresser? Keep your head straight!

Son, you don't know...

about the battles that I had to fight for a light bulb.

Battles? Are we talking about a light bulb or the Red Fort?

There was a time...

when light bulbs were available only in foreign countries.

I am talking about the time

when they used to come all the way from Kolkata.

Unlike today when it is available at every shop.

The house which had a light bulb...

was popular in the town.

It felt like they were having a wedding at home.

-Gajjan Singh's house is shining! -Yes, I agree.

He actually did it.

Bring some sweets for me as well.

Sweets are delicious.

Give it to me.

Hello, Aunty. Have some sweets.

Thank you.

Please have some sweets.

Heartfelt congratulations to you.

-God bless you. -God bless you, Ginda.

-Hello, sir. -Hello, son. God bless you.

Hey, serve some hot milk with the sweets.

It will be shining here at evening.

I've had more than enough. Thank you.

Thank you for your presence.

Hail the Lord.

Today, the light bulb will brighten this place for the first time.

Sir, how long before the light bulb arrives?

If there is time, can I go for the evening prayers?

Wait for some more time.

Waris! Go to the boundary of the village and find out.

Okay, Grandpa.

Grandpa, he's here!

Hail the Lord.

Jat Mirza Khan, while leaving...

Beware, don't fall.

Move aside.

-Wait, let me pour some oil first. -Hello.

Then you can get in.

-Go ahead. -It's an auspicious task.

Yes.

Let me pour some oil.

The most awaited day is here.

Done.

Now put your right leg forward.

I'll put my right leg forward, but tell me

which tire of the cycle should I get in first, the front or the rare?

I think the best would be

that you carry the cycle on your shoulders and get in.

Get in.

Move aside.

-Move. -Move aside.

Move aside, everyone.

-Dad, it looks like a turnip. -It's shiny.

This is what's called a light bulb.

-Gajjan Singh? -Yes.

You have bought it, but who will install and run it?

Sir, the Executive Engineer is here for a reason.

He will be here soon. He'll come and install it.

I think he is here.

Hello, officer.

Hello.

How are you? Come in.

Come this way.

Move aside, everyone.

-Move aside. Come here. -Please come.

-Hello, sir. -Move aside.

-Hello, officer. -Hello, sir.

You sent this idiot here. I wondered what took you so long.

-You are late. -I can't help it, sir.

It's a huge department. I have a lot of responsibilities.

I must handle everything.

-Oh, my God, Mom. -Look at the light bulb!

Lord Almighty.

What happened, sir?

-This way. -Move aside.

This way please. Up there.

Be careful, sir.

Here you go.

There the light bulb is in its place.

Look over there.

Shall we switch it on then?

Look up.

Sir, if you want to really enjoy it...

-Yes. -...then wait till it gets a little dark.

Dad?

Shall we switch it on now?

-Ginda. -Yes.

I want this light bulb to be switched on by someone

whose face shines like the moon.

Dad, why don't you just say that

your darling daughter, Jeeti will switch it on?

Yes.

Wonderful!

It's incomparable! Great brightness!

Hello.

Sattu.

Pass me the sweets.

Here, Grandma. Have it. The devil is asleep.

Sattu.

Continue the story that you were telling me.

What happens next?

Son, what is this trouble you have created for me?

There she goes.

Grandmas tell stories to their grandchildren.

Here, the grandson tells stories to his grandma.

Mom...

you have been fighting with grandma all your life.

Aren't you tired yet?

Don't worry, son.

I had consoled myself the moment I saw her after the wedding.

Let it be. Tell me the story.

Grandma, then the jinn tells the princess--

Don't you dare! Don't you dare mention jinn.

Don't you have any shame?

Making fun of your mother!

I mean the beast.

He tells the prince to answer his three questions.

"If you do, then you can take the princess with you.

If you don't, I would turn the princess into a fly and stick her to the wall."

Sattu.

When you were young and grandma used to tell you a story,

it would take five-six nights for the prince to reach the beast.

You've cut the story so short.

Brother, I am cutting it short because the lamp is running out of oil.

Don't worry, we will add more oil to the lamp.

But at least tell the story properly.

Forget the lamp.

We have only enough oil that your father can apply to his mustache.

You don't know the importance of a man's mustache.

Tomorrow everyone at the fair will see the wonders of this mustache.

When I will bathe with a fragrant soap,

apply oil and set my mustaches, and roar at the first light...

Grandpa, get jalebis for me.

Okay, dear.

How about I get you those sweets that your grandma used to?

Will do.

-Sattu! -Coming, Dad.

Here.

You're looking very handsome today.

Let's take you to a cockfight, darling.

No, you go ahead.

You can tolerate the noise they make

but you won't be able to tolerate the one I'll make.

-Look at this, Grandma. -Come here!

-Bless you. -You also come, dear.

They get amazing sweets there.

-I'll be right there. -Wait, I'll teach you a lesson.

-Let's go. -I am going to the fair

It's rightly said that you never get what you deserve.

It's the same right here.

A rooster is getting dry fruits and Dholan is getting grams.

Enough now. You've had enough. Let me have some as well.
