-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.
