'The Asian Economic Forum award for business excellence goes to...'

'...Mr. Karan Thapar.'

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

I wish you all the best. Keep it up.

Thank you.

I was told as a child, that God has made for every fortunate man...

...a friend who guides him in the right direction.

Friendship, a relationship

-that is not imposed on you... -

...a relationship entirely of your own making and choice.

If I am here today, it's because to my friend.

This trophy, I dedicate to you.

Raj, I dedicate it to our friendship.

You know, Ritu Chopra got divorced for the third time.

This is her fourth divorce, you know...

She's really knows how to hook these rich old men.

And then she gets divorced and gets this fat alimonies...

-Mom! -She is such a number.

-Mom... -Smart woman.

Mom...

Karan, what are you doing here? Go on. Go and play.

'Where could mom find the time from her parties and gossip?'

'She simply had no time for me.'

-Mr. Mehra, business today is totally empowered...

'Papa was always immersed in his business and socialising.'

Papa, I'm getting bored!

-So go outside and play. -With whom?

Karan, learn to play on your own.

Those depending on others can never be successful in life.

Come on, come on, go and play. Come on.

-Hi, Nandini. Let's play football. -I don't want to play with you.

-Please, sister, let's play football? -Haven't I said no?

Okay, let's play with him.

-Mom, Karan's bothering me! -Okay, here you are.

Oh God! Karan... what are you doing?

Why do you keep following her, if you can't get along with her?

I have no one to play with! Neither do you have the time nor dad.

-So tell me what I am to do! -Stop yelling first... okay?

You're just becoming impossible to deal with!

-Just take care of her. -Yes, ma'am.

Go outside and play. Okay?

-Nandini, are you okay? -And don't you trouble anyone!

It's okay. Play with your doll.

Help! Help!

Help! Somebody help!

Help! Help, please!

Come on.

Don't leave my hand.

-How did you get near the gorge? -Don't even ask me!

Looks like you're from the city.

Yes. We're visiting the farm over the weekend.

-Isn't that Mr. Thapar's farmhouse? -He happens to be my dad.

My Uncle works at your dad's farmhouse!

You're suddenly becoming so formal!

But thanks anyway. If you hadn't come at the right time, then I would've been dead.

My mom always said, 'Always help someone who's in trouble.'

-'Always said?' -Yes.

She's now joined my father. In the heavens.

-I'm sorry. So you live all alone? -No, I live with my Uncle.

I see... hey! I forgot to ask your name.

-Raj. -I'm Karan. Will you be my friend?

Of course!

You're hurt. Please come with me.

On one condition. Drop the formalities and treat me like a friend.

Come, let me apply some medicine.

Burns, doesn't it?

Here, hold my hand and close your eyes.

I'm through.

-See? It hardly hurt. Right? -Yes.

Hold a friend's hand and it'll hurt you less.

Embrace a friend and it won't hurt you at all.

Thanks, man.

Mom...

What are you doing here so late in the night, Karan?

Go to sleep. Go on.

'The closer I tried to get to mom, the farther she went away from me.'

'Mom and dad thought I had become very stubborn.'

Please. You will never understand when I tell you politely!

You want to argue all the time!

I want you to quietly go to your room and go to bed.

Hey... who's out there? Who is it?

-Raj! It's you? Come on! -I wanted to meet you, my friend.

You ought to have walked in through the door.

As if that fat guard would let me in!

I'm so glad you're here. Come... let's go inside.

Good Lord! What a big room!

My entire house is smaller than your bedroom!

It's so soft! You must be getting great sleep on it?

No, if I could go to sleep, I'd have been asleep by now.

I'm so tired after a day's hard work...

...I go to sleep the moment I lie down in the veranda.

But why do you sleep in the veranda? Why not inside?

It's Uncle who sleeps inside. I've got to sleep in the veranda...

...under a leaky roof.

Hey... your shirt is torn.

What a lovely shirt!

Now look, Raj... all that's mine, is yours... you get that?

-Let's go and play. -Sure, let's go.

Come on, come on. Yes, yes, yes. Come on.

Got you!

God Almighty! It's a real aircraft! Whose is it, Karan?

-My dad's. This is the one we arrived here in.

-Really? -Yes. Come, let's go flying.

-Do you know how to fly the plane? -Let's just play.

-What's happening? -We're all set to go!

-Oh shit! -Switch off the engine!

That's what I am trying to do.

-Hey! Do you know how to fly it? -I have seen dad doing so.

-We are dead. -Shut up!

-We're airborne! -We're flying!

Yes!

We did it, man!

We're airborne!

-You shirker! Didn't I ask you to finish the chores? -

Come with me... come on!

-Is your father supposed to do your chores? --

Hey!

Let's see how you play now.

-Hey! -You lazy fellow.

Blood! I'm bleeding...

-Why did you hit my Uncle? -Why did he hit my friend?

-Master Karan... Master Karan... -

Master, your father has been waiting for you since morning.

-They're all set to leave for the city. -Very well, wait.

-Karan! -Raj... come on.

-Where? -Come on, will you?

-Sir, Karan is here. -Please take her to the car.

-Karan, where have you been since morning? -Yes ma'am.

There he is.

Didn't you know how upset we'd be?

-And who's this with you? -

-Dad, this is Raj, my friend. -What? Your friend? He?

-Yes, and he's going with us. -What?

Huh!

-Karan, are you out of your mind? -Please dad. I love Raj's company.

See? Didn't I tell you he's getting more and more stubborn?

Here's another case of his obstinacy today.

Karan, how can you take him along?

He could be your friend here, that's it.

When you return, you'll go to school, then you'll go abroad for further studies...

...how can you take him along with you everywhere?

Raj will go wherever I go. He'll even go to school with me, mom.

He's not going anywhere with us, Karan. And that is final.

He is coming with us.

If he's not going, I'm not going either. I will stay here with him!

-And that is final. -This boy is hopeless.

I'm not going to say anything to him ever again!

-Okay? -Just relax.

Karan, I know you want to take him along.

But have you asked him whether he wants to go with you?

Have you? Come on!

Let's go, buddy.

-Rita, where is my room key? -

-Good morning ma'am. -Good morning ma'am.

She loses the keys every time. What can I do?

...and your new dress...

-Is it nice? -Wow, it's pretty good.

Leena's still asleep?

-Sleep... -

Leena!

Leena!

A boy in the girls' hostel?

A boy in the girls' hostel!

-What's he doing in the girls' hostel? -Oh! Shut up, shut up!

You're just ranting away! 'Boy in a girls' hostel'!

Who else will sneak into a girls' hostel, if not a boy?

Ruined my beauty sleep. Didn't she?

-Don't you have any manners? -Shut up!

You walk into someone's room without any permission?

Maybe you have no respect, but we do!

-Who are you? -I'm the matron of this hostel.

-Gurmeet Kaur! -Oh, nice to meet you.

This is Leena and I'm Karan Thapar. I'll see you, bye-bye.

-Karan Thapar? Karan Thapar... -Yes.

Come here.

What've you been doing in a girls' hostel? I'm going to call the police!

Hey... I was only kidding. And you're getting serious?

Kidding? Leena, what is this boy doing in your room?

Ma'am, he's a friend. He was teaching me math.

-Taking off clothes to teach math? -Taking off clothes to teach math?

-You're right. Actually, we went on to biology from math... -Biology?

...functions of different parts of the body?

I'll teach you more! Just wait.

Somebody go and call the police right now!

No need to yell, widow. Inspector Raj Malhotra here.

I haven't even phoned the police and they're already here?

Don't ever take us cops to be foolish weaklings.

-I have a search warrant. -Search warrant?

Yes. We have received secret information...

...that you're carrying on illegal, illicit and immoral activities here.

-What? -

-What does that mean? -Mean? Mean, indeed!

What a show of innocence, you wicked woman!

Aren't you ashamed to sneak boys in and make the innocent girls do wrong things?

Look at them. They are like your own daughters.

-Just see... -Nothing of the sort happens here, Inspector.

I know what all happens here.

According to my sources, there's a boy present here right now.

-What? A boy? -Scared already?

-Inspector, you're making a mistake... -Then let me conduct the search.
