Love in Tokyo (लव इन टोक्यो)

Dear God.

Please, bless me.

So that I can end the loveless

engagement of my friend Ashok.

'Strange is this farcical love, Trapped into it I was.'

'Fearing my mother, I've come here.'

'On my own, I'm not here. But, forced I was to come here.'

Wow!

Ashok, it's 7 minutes past 7, now.

My daughter, your fiancé, Sarita

has turned sweet seventeen.

So, on this joyous occasion, she will cut the cake.

And you will lend her your hand.

What do you say?

As per my friend's watch and mine

there are still 40 seconds to go.

Move aside! Run for your life!

Move!

Which one of you is Mr Ashok?

I am Ashok. - You are?

Mr Ashok,

your friend, Mr Poche Khan, died under my lorry.

Poche Khan, my dear friend!

If you want to have a last glimpse of him

let's go to the hospital. - Come soon.

Poche Khan, my dear friend! Poor fellow!

Ashok fooled us once again, today!

Someone is dying and you are whining!

Anyway, I'll call the hospital and inquire.

What's wrong?

That's the alarm. I have no time, now.

What's all this nonsense?

Sheela's dad came all the way from Japan, with his nonsense.

Really? As in, love is in danger? - You bet!

Never! - Then, how do you meet her?

I use of my love's sari to meet my lover!

Wish you the best of luck. - Hey, Ashok.

Don't let mom get to know about this.

Or she'll actually have a Pathan sent from Kabul to kill me!

Greetings.

Please sit.

What's it? - Gayatri Devi!

It's been years, since you were told

of your older son's death in Japan.

For me, he died the day

I arranged his marriage here,

but, he married a Japanese girl there, against my wishes.

He had a child from the marriage.

When a person gets married, he will have children, too.

If you're here to talk about that child or woman,

then you are wasting your time, as well as mine.

I believe, even the child's mother is no more.

My sympathies.

Before dying, the child's mother wrote a letter to you.

To me?

If you permit it, then I'll read the translation for you.

Read it.

'Greetings, mother.'

'The doctors tell me I won't live for too long.'

'My husband used to say that a child is an image of God.'

'He used to also say'

'that the day you would see this tiny form of God'

'your temper would cool down.'

'You would surely forgive us.'

'He left this world without his wish coming true.'

'Perhaps, the joys that you did not get from your son'

'may come to you, through your grandson.'

'God has given you everything.'

'So, if you can't claim this child as one of your own'

'consider him to be a destitute mother's child'

'or a that of a maid.'

'It would be kind of you, if you let him stay with you.'

'Save him from going to an orphanage.'

'God will bestow you with more happiness, then.'

'I guess, I can't sign off as your daughter-in-law.'

'I am merely, the mother of a helpless child - Nyoshi.'

What do you want me to do, ma'am?

Make arrangements

for my younger son Ashok to go to Japan.

He will bring the child from there.

I'd rather die, but not leave Mahesh and go to Tokyo, dad!

If I could, I would have never let you be born in India!

Mahesh.

Oh, God! Please protect my love!

I will take care of your love, right now!

You wear this. And you hang this.

Here's Rs 200.

Beat Mahesh up so badly that he should never dare think of Sheela!

No! Listen!

Oh, Sheela's soft, silky sari!

Oh, my ladder to paradise, take me to my beloved soon!

No, father! I won't go! - Shut up!

I won't go! Mahesh! - Shut up!

If Farhad can dig a mountain for his love, Shirin,

can I not climb up holding on to this sari?

Sheela, your slave is at your service.

In fact, the slave of slaves is here!

But, Sheela,

you appear fatter and taller than usual.

Have you been on an eating binge?

You are nodding your head, very much.

Sheela.

Ask my eternally blessed father-in-law

to stop hovering around our love like a pesky mosquito!

When two hearts meet, they are oblivious.

But, this old mosquito sucks the blood of our love!

'From this mosquito, learn about cowardice and impudence.'

'When two hearts meet, they yelp aloud at his arrogance.'

Sheela.

Sheela.

Why are you covering your face?

'Unveil your face, and before you, will be your Mahesh.'

Unveil your face, Sheela.

Sheela,

I've been stranded with strands of Sheela's hair!

Sheela,

There's an army of mosquitoes, here!

Mr Sister, take back your hair.

Actually,

love is blind.

Perhaps, I came to the wrong place because I'm blind.

We'll make you forget about love!

Please, don't do that!

Chilli powder!

Chilli powder!

Chilli powder!

Hey! Finger on your nose!

Now, tell me where is my Sheela?

She got fed up of your love,

so her father is taking her to Tokyo, tomorrow!

Tokyo? - Don't let him go to Tokyo alone.

I'll accompany him.

Our Indian culture is being slandered

due to the shameless way in which the youngsters here roam

everywhere together, before their marriage!

You'd think, they are the direct descendants of Romeo and Juliet!

What do you think? - You're right.

He is conning us again, today.

You're right.

Sir, he is certainly crazy,

but, what he says makes sense.

You're right.

'God is showering flowers. Thorns are being set afire.'

'And success stands before me with a smile on her face.'

'Ladies and gentlemen, you are now'

'flying over the land of the rising sun.'

'In a few moments, our aircraft will land in Tokyo.'

'The most beautiful city of the east.'

'Please, fasten your seatbelts.'

'And refrain from smoking.'

'Remain seated till the aircraft comes to a complete halt.

'Thank you.'

I completely forgot to give you my card.

Mine is the only shop of its kind in Japan.

Indian Art Emporium!

Do contact me, if you need me.

And if you have the time, then call me.

Sure!

'Your attention, please!'

'Air India passengers, please collect your baggage from'

counter number 3. Thank you.'

Send Chikoo San.

Chikoo San?

Nice name. - But, naughty boy.

Leave me alone.

Chikoo San, your uncle.

Hello, Chikoo!

Judo expert!

Chikoo, good children respect their elders.

This was only a sample, uncle.

Do you want to take me to India? But, I won't go!

No, I have come to Japan to meet you.

Won't you show me around Tokyo?

Let's go!

But, I have no money to take you around.

Your uncle has plenty of money! Let's go.

Will my Chikoo drink Coca Cola?

You will then ask me to come to India. So, I won't drink it!

Nor will I go to India.

Drink it. I will not take you to India.

Promise? - Promise.

Indians always keep their word!

So do the Japanese!

I'll drink all the Coca Cola you give me.

But I will not go to India!

All right!

Uncle, you're a decent man.

Why don't you stay back in Japan?

Because I am an Indian, and India is my motherland.

Then, why are you taking me there?

I was born here in Japan. So, Japan is my nation.

But, Chikoo, your father was born in India.

Maybe. But my mother was a Japanese, & I was born in Japan.

You are a sharp kid. Let's go.

Stay in Japan for a few days, and you will become sharp too!

Buy any toy you want.

I can buy the entire shop for you.

Thank you, uncle.

I'll buy this, this, that one,

and this too!
