Aaja Mexico Challiye

Debts, duty, needs, poverty often make a man leave his home.

Loud noises and inadequate feed usually chase birds far away.

The desire to fulfill dreams leads one on crooked paths.

But some such paths end up consuming men.

That end up consuming men...

Brother, the 12 illegal boys that we sent abroad, eight of them are dead.

Well, four have reached so all is well.

But our business will be shut this way.

There are no jobs here.

Until boys stop going abroad, our business will never be shut.

Yes?

It's our request in the foot of our God...

There's a local resident whose relative.

Sardar kartar singh

and his son Sardar parminder singh who is in foreign country.

Is nowhere to be found.

Just help these people and their family, God.

That Sardar parminder singh's wellbeing is to be heard by his family.

Dear God may you bless us all.

Isn't your worthless son awake yet?

Don't call him worthless.

When he is worthless then I will call him the same.

Wake up! You have two young sisters at home.

How can you even sleep?

My sisters are not dancing around my bed that I should lose my sleep.

You have been making noise since morning, dad

At least let me dream of America.

If the Americans come to know,

and they don't stop you from sleeping, shave off my moustache.

Shave off your moustache. You think you are so handsome...

Wait, you scoundrel! I will teach you.

Help me! Dad is after me again!

-Please, come here. -What is all this, dad?

What's going on?

You have both over-pampered him.

Do some work, you fool.

All the boys you know have started working.

What work are they doing as if they are working for the Swiss bank.

One is counting bags in a godown and the other has started a canteen in a hospital.

They are all working...

Well, at least they are earning.

Not breaking the bed like you!

Dad, when did you have to get my bed repaired?

Breaking the bed?

Don't change the topic.

I am telling you don't change the topic.

Your Uncle got you such a good job and you left it and came.

Then the commission agent got you a good job after I begged him to

and you left that as well.

Do something otherwise, you will regret later.

Dad, it's not like you got me an SSP's job.

I have studied mechanical engineering and I was earning rupees 12,000.

I was feeling ashamed of myself.

Thank God at least my son felt some shame.

Bravo.

I thought you don't have that either.

Dad, he is going abroad and he will work there.

Let my brother have fun for a month or so.

If you have reached a decision, come and eat.

Feed your idle son.

Dad, you call me idle so many times. Let me reach America once,

you will get tired of counting dollars.

Just invest in your son for six months, everything will be sorted.

It is better that I buy four new buffaloes than invest in you.

-At least we'll have enough milk. -We already have four buffaloes.

Yes.

But you haven't ever brought even one kg milk home.

You give it all to the milkman.

Mom, you have married such a stingy man, he would milk the chickens if he could.

-You... -Hand me my slippers, sister!

-I am leaving! -Let him eat at least.

Now go and waste your time somewhere else.

"America!"

-Hello. -Hello.

Hello.

Yes, ma'am, this is Parminder Singh from Jalandhar, Punjab.

Then speak in Punjabi.

Yes...

I wanted to ask you if this visa is guaranteed.

Yes. Come and meet us in the Jalandhar office.

Okay, how much will it cost me?

There is no cost. Only rupees 10,000 for the file.

-It will only cost rupees 10,000? -Yes.

Okay.

Where will get 10, 000 rupees from?

Pamme, what happened to the payment?

Uncle, you are sitting right here at the shop. I was going to your house.

Give it to me. How much is it?

What do you mean how much? I will pay you all of it.

We are going to raise the limit on the land. Dad is going to the bank.

Haven't you already raised the limit?

Earlier it was raised on two acres.

Now we are raising it for the rest of the land.

Uncle, dad asked me to get around rupees 10,000 from you.

For the bank's commission etc.

That is true.

Will you get the cheque today itself?

Yes, I will get it today. I am just going to the bank before it closes.

Kartar, you are here.

Listen, son, grind this flour.

Yes?

You haven't left yet. What if the bank closes?

Let it close. It's not like I work there.

But aren't you raising the limit on your land?

I already have. How much more should I raise it?

It's just on two acres. I am talking about the rest of your land.

What else is there? I only have three acres of land.

But Pamma took rupees 10,000 from me for this.

-Did you give him another rupees 10,000? -Yes.

Oh, you silly man. Let me go and get the money before he spends it.

You are just too much.

Go on, roll it.

Pamma!

Here.

What happened to the mushroom seeds? You didn't get them.

If you aren't going to get them then give me my money back.

Uncle, just wait for a day or two. Dad is a little unwell.

What happened to him?

He has...

a stone in his gallbladder and needs surgery.

Oh, my God.

Yes.

Okay, Uncle, I must go. Dad is in a lot of pain.

Okay then.

Take this. This will be fun.

Go on, play your card.

-Kartar! -Yes.

You should rest at home in your condition.

What condition? It's not like I had a baby.

You didn't have a baby.

But you have a stone in your gallbladder.

You must be having a stone.

I have never even had a fever, fortunately.

I am not saying it without cause.

Pamma told me that dad needs surgery.

Pamma is the one who will get surgery today. Pamma, I will operate on you.

Have these sweets. My son got his visa accepted.

-Where did you get a visa for? -Australia.

Alright. Congratulations.

Okay.

-Ma'am, I had called you. -Sir, please speak in Hindi.

Ma'am, you asked me to speak in Punjabi that day.

Sir, that was our telecaller speaking.

-Okay. -Yes.

Who will I need to meet here, Ma'am?

Yes? Tell me.

Ma'am, I wanted to get my file ready for America.

-Come inside. -Okay.

Okay.

And submit rupees 8,000 outside.

You asked me to get just rupees 10,000.

That is the fee of the file.

And rupees 8,000 is our fees.

Alright.

Hello.

-Hello, brother-in-law. -Hello.

I wanted to tell you

dad got a bullet motorcycle for you.

Really?

Yes. But just don't tell sister.

The family has kept it as a surprise for you.

Alright, I'll bring your sister in the evening.

Yes... come...

And you know, I was saying

if you could bring a mobile for your brother-in-law.

Okay, I will, I will. Let me get ready now.

-Come on over. See you in the evening. -Okay?

Come.

"America!"

Mom, what are you cooking today?

-A thrashing. -Hey.

When did I get surgery for my stone?

-When did my wrist get sprained? -Sister, help me! Dad is after me!

Why do you always attack the boy as soon as he comes?

-Oh, my God, you have a cane in your hand! -I am after him?

He is after me.

-Why are you disgracing my turban? -When do you wear a turban, dad?

Whenever I see you, you are wearing this check scarf.

Don't change the topic. Don't change the topic!

Then you should change your nature. You are always grouchy.

If I won't get angry then what else can I do?

You are lying to people and conning everyone.

It's not like I am a drug addict that I will con money, dad.

-I am trying to go to America. -Why are you trying?

If it's that easy to get a visa then every man will go to America.

Everyone is going. Do you know how many of my friends have gone and settled there?

But you are settled right here.

Hey, Pamma.

Brother-in-law is here. Don't insult me in front of them now.

Come, our sister is here.

Burn this cane.

-Brother. -Greetings, Sister.

How are you, my brother?

-What colour did you get for me? -Silver.

-You should have got the black one. -Black is an evil colour.

My son-in-law has given me a nice surp today.

Mom, it's not surp. It's called a surprise.

It's alright. You can go inside and teach her English. Let's go.

Are you going to talk about everything right here? Go in.

-How are you? -God bless you.
