Yun Hota To Kya Hota (यूँ होता तो क्या होता)

It was a day like any other..

The Sun rose..

..the world went about its business.

Unknown to one another..

..four completely unconnected lives were about to change forever.

The moving finger had begun to write..

...the last chapter in each of these lives".

..on the morning of August 31, 2001.

Mumbai.

Hemant! Hemant!

Hemant, aunty is knocking. - Who is it..?

Sorry to disturb you, darlings.. but it's waking-up time.

Your passport and tickets have been delivered.

Will you wake up, or won't you?

Yes. - In an hour, Ma. - But I was preparing breakfast.

Well, never mind.

Hemant! - Come here.

Come here. - Hemant.. someone may come in.

No one's going to come, I've said, one hour.

C'mon. Come here.

No let it be, it looks pretty.

So.. you're very kinky, are you?

What if it hurts? - Let it hurt, then we'll see.

Tilottama Das-Punj. Tilottama Das, until ten days ago.

Husband Hemant is off to America..

..just a day after the wedding reception.

Tilottama will live with her in-laws..

...until her visa arrives.

I hear you guys are spending a lot of time together?

No..

That's okay, I think you guys will make a lovely pair.

Rascal! You're the one who gets to stay with her..

But that's just till tomorrow evening.

I'm leaving for U.S. tomorrow. - Still, you're living at her place.

But whenever I go, uncle butler grills me who you are, whom you want to meet..

..won't let me in without asking her.

In fact once I went there her parents thought I was some pizza delivery guy.

Nitin you're affecting my concentration. - Sorry.

Anyway.. when you finally do come to the US..

...you'll have to do a lot of pizza delivering. - What's this?

Take this.. your visa slip..

..interview's on 5th Don't miss it, if you want to make it to America.

Nitin, I'm seriously having second thoughts..

..about this whole America business.

Rahul Bhide.. Baccalaureate in medicine..

..just secured admission in MS..

..in an American university.

A bright future beckons..

..but what compulsions still hold him back..

..not even his friends know.

Dhiroo. - I'm right here!

Count it. On Karsan bhai's account.

Phone, for you. - Who is it?

Mukesh bhai's. - Hey, forget him, he's useless.

He has heard you on the phone. Take it.

Cut that ‘ghunghat’ song for 2 minutes. - Music off.

Yes Mukesh bhai, no brother.. I'm not pissed.

You're bringing the cash, aren't you?

Then what comes out of coming?

Listen, listen..

...listen Mukesh bhai..

..you gave me your word, isn't it?

Yes, 1.2 million? Then? The promise once given and..

..a daughter once given, is given, have you understood? Reduce what?

Like the rates on Bata shoes. Fixed. Not 1 cent less, not 2 cents more, yes?

Hey Raju bhai, look at this photo.

Signal-cutting.. hello..

Cut him off.. where is she?

Not her, another lady has brought it. - Lady, who?

That one.. Tara Gandhi.

Rajubhai Patel. Carrying pigeons to foreign countries..

..and letting them fly, it's his business.

Meticulous in keeping his word..

..and accounting for every cent..

..so now he's quite well-off.

He only rues being ditched by his lover..

..it happened 19 years ago.

On the 5th, to America, Amma? We're to move that fast?

All right, I'll tell brother.

My SMS, love, check.

Brother, our green cards have been issued, we're off to America on 5th.

Done? Oh great. So soon?

Narender, have you updated the files on the computer?

I've news, I'm coming to the rehearsal

Yesterday the markets closed at 3518.

What's the mood on the market? How much is Reliance quoting?

Salim Rajabali.

Share broker by calling".

..with a romantic bent of mind.

The family is migrating to America..

..severing all ties with his country.

But some ties are such..

..that he would like to remain tied to.

I told you.. you'll get hurt.

Tea, steaming hot.

Kalpa? - Shit, Kalpa.

Tea.

Hemant!

I'll take a quick bath. - Tilottama, clear sister-in-law..

When will you guys emerge?

There's work in this house to be done..

..and it's not fair to make Mama do everything.

Come out, Hemant.

What.. has she done to you! Are you wearing anything at all?

You want to see my exploitation tool?

Ma..

Ma! Brother is his usual disgusting self..

..not ready and standing naked at the door.

Yeah and tell Ma you suspect me of sexually exploiting my wife.

Hemant. - Yeah.

Your family is very interesting.

Whose are those sleeping pills? Who takes it?

Kalpa. - Why are they in this bathroom?

Got to hide it from her, she's addicted to the damn thing.

But she's so sweet!

What happened between her and Anirudh?

You want me to tell you or show you? - No tell me what happened?

I can give you practical demonstration. - First tell me..

..what happen between her and Anirudh? - I'm sure you will like it.

Just tell me.

Not divorced yet legally, living apart since 3 years.

Never mention Anirudh to her, else she'll hit the roof.

What time is your flight tomorrow? - 0200 hrs.

0200 meaning.. - Two o'clock in the morning.

Two past midnight.

Which means, only 14 hours left?

Why do you have to go? - Oh, c'mon Tilottama!

But why can't you take leave on phone. - Let's not start again.

C'mon. - But you can.

If gotta be there at 8, don't be there at 8:01.

That's the way it goes in America!

So it's all fixed up? - What is?

No! Her parents have met your parents and..

Hi brother Rahul.. - Natasha! - Joy, our philosopher.

How are you? - Only alive.

No hugs.. I'm sweating like a pig. Oh this Indian weather..

What can be done to Indian summers?

This is my Joy friend. - Joy friend!

Quiet boys. - Found him at last!

Listen buddy seriously.. If you don't come there, okay...!

Eh brother, when you are in India, speak in Hindi, no?

Joy, don't whip my brain to yogurt, he's so much older than you.

Believe me brother, if you don't come there..

..you will be missing the chance of your lifetime.

What is this chance? Chance, in a stilted accent? - Hush.

Not everyone gets MS bio-tech. - Sounds like peace in Hindi.

You're brilliant..

..in a year, you get a scholarship. - Peace.

If you miss your interview on 5th, no knowing when your next turn comes.

Peace be..

Don't delay your visa thing. Just come there.

What's going on? What's Khushboo up to?

Target practice.

She dare not miss her mark.

She has to protect her dear prospect.

Out there, your life will be transformed.

If an asshole like me can earn so much..

Nitin, you always bringing me good luck despite this silly haircut.

Where did you get it? - Hey c'mon! It's the latest.

I'll take that. - Thank you.

Hello stranger. - Hello.

Hey Khushboo, Rahul has been admitted to UCLA.

Did he tell you? - He doesn't have to tell me. I know.

Let's celebrate. - Yeah let's. Let's go to my place.

C'mon Rahul.

Enjoy yourselves, I got to get home - Hey, no.

You aren't going anywhere.

You haven't come home in ages. You have to come.

Hey Kay, Rahul here was asking me when you and..

...I are going to get married.

Rahul, Nitin and I will never marry.

We'll only live together.

In sin.

Found your answer?

What was the hurry to get married if I can't go with you to America now?

I never promised you a visa immediately, did I?

It takes a year at least? - What! One year?

And like Papa-ji says.. marriage is a gamble. - Gamble!

What else do you expect from an internet marriage?

Worse than an old fashioned arranged marriage.

Tomorrow, you might tell the cops that I beat you up. - That is right.

Worse, you might have a lover somewhere. - I'll never let you know.

Give me the towel.

I'll take you with me tonight if you go get the towel yourself.

Shut up and give me the towel. - C'mon.
