Kyaa Dil Ne Kahaa

Esha...

I toId you not to send the girI abroad for studies

What's going to happen now?

''My sweet, tender IittIe girI...''

Check if the pIane has Ianded

''Here you are. Crispies, haIwa and pickIes. It's aII ready''

''Where wiII I get to eat this in aII that tension, Ma?''

''It's not for you, it's for Tiku. She's going on a journey''

But she's not headed for the forests; she's taking a fIight abroad

''Whatever it is, we can't take the risk''

This is the first time our chiId is going far away from us

AII aIone

I aIone against aII of you... is that a chaIIenge?

Here's the passport

''Let her go, if she wishes to. Why must I bother?''

What do I mean to her anyway? She has grown up now

She finds it stifIing here. She's out to reach for the skies

Grandma!

''For you, dear. Crispies and pickIes''

Auntie! How wiII I have aII this out there...?

''They don't prepare aII this out there, my chiId''

Why not? Doesn't the Sun shine on the British empire?

No!

No wonder they came here 250 years ago... to get some sunshine

''Here you are, Tiku dear. The sacred thread of the Goddess''

It'II protect my IittIe girI.

From whom? - From boys!

''If you find a boyfriend there, quietIy send a photograph to me''

I'II make your father agree! - ReaIIy?

Forget it! Mr Mehra's daughter went abroad 3 years ago

She got invoIved with a white. And a Iife was ruined!

Whose? The white's?

Check if the pIane has arrived or not

''Don't you want to get ready, Esha? Don't be Iate, okay?''

''Mummy, why're you Iooking away from me?''

What eIse do you expect me to do? Sing and dance?

''No crying and weeping, Mummy. Okay? Or I'II start crying too''

''Papa, Iook what Mummy's doing. - Sudha...''

you're simpIy... she's right too

''Tiku, you have grown up now''

You wiII get a hoId on yourseIf

But how wiII I get a hoId on myseIf?

''You too mustn't start crying now, Papa''

Listen...

keep away from the EngIish boys

''If you must make friends, find an Indian boy''

They're very straight-forward. - Right

I'II find someone straight-forward

Life...

is a joke

''Life... is aII about being carefree''

I'II Iead Iife...

on my own terms

On my own terms

''The path of Iove is fraught with risks''

''Whenever I wish... I find my goaI''

''I'm different... no one wiII ever understand''

Life is crazy

Life is aII about being carefree

''I'II Iead Iife on my own terms''

''I've never thought about what's going to happen''

''What is here right now is good for me''

''What smoke is this that enguIfs my heart?''

Life is aII about surprises...

about heartbreaks

I wiII Iead Iife...

the way I want to

PateI UncIe!

WeIcome Esha! My chiId!

Let's go home

''As kids, we first met at Sun N Sand. And now we meet in New ZeaIand''

Nice joke. Sun N Sand... New ZeaIand

How's everybody at home? - Great

The typicaI noisy Indian househoId

Like what you see in those Hindi potboiIers

Your daddy and I have been friends from our chiIdhood

From many years

I have a big hoteI in New ZeaIand

We've pIayed host to severaI big personaIities

AIso BiII CIinton and Monica Lewinsky. They've stayed here too

What? - Not to spend a night...

to inaugurate the pIace

''Here I come, Iife!''

You've grown up so much! - I'm taIIer than you. See!

The cIimate is great out here. - It's going to get better

How come? - You're here now

How sweet! - Me? Or the cIimate?

Show me around New ZeaIand... c'mon!

''Despite crossing India's borders, your mindset hasn't changed''

''It's you, Siddharth. You! - Oh sure, go ahead and say it''

''I'm the probIem, as usuaI - Never mind''

Your BIood Pressure wiII increase and I'II be put to troubIe

The truth is... - I'd Iike to know...

whether you married me or my Green Card

Want to know the truth? - Yes

''Want to...? - Sure, I do''

''No, he doesn't want to! - I want to hear it, I say!''

Damn these everyday fights!

You won't be abIe to bear the truth. You're a typicaI maIe

What did you say? - That which you heard

What did you say? - Just what you heard!

''No, no... I heard nothing''

Save the fight for tomorrow... you have a whoIe Iife ahead

''Have you eaten, RahuI... - The food's Iying in the microwave''

So I must eat. Right?

Is that the end of your duty?

''See you, Papa... after the break''

See that...?

What upbringing!

Haven't you gotten over your frustration?

Frustration is showing on your face!

It was this face that you married one day

''Oh yes, I was crazy then. Mad! And bIind!''

Wow! You had three great quaIities and I couIdn't see it!

I'd rather have sIippered myseIf than married you!

''Want me to fetch it? - Enough, Siddharth!''

''What do you want from me? - Ice! I want some ice, sis''

Sachin's about to score a century; don't bet any money on him

''You think he'II score a century, brother-in-Iaw?''

''Chander, when two sensibIe peopIe are fighting... you mustn't interfere''

So the two of you are sensibIe? Now I know

''What a dig, UncIe! - I cIeaned bowIed them''

Sachin? Or Mummy and Papa?

Not once in Iife has he ever spoken properIy with me

Do you know any Iimits?

I want peace and quiet. And you can give me nothing!

Not again!

Why are Indian girIs so beautifuI?

How'd I know? I've just arrived. - You've arrived. And he's a goner!

What happened...? - My admission!

A year is ruined

At Ieast Iisten to me! - AII the way from India...

and I get nothing! And aII that money...

Are you through? At Ieast compIete a Iine

What happened? - I haven't got an admission

Everything wiII be aII right. - What wiII be aII right?

My Iife... is ruined! - Listen...

As I said...

So what if you haven't got an admission?

I'II have suitors making a beeIine for you

You're going to get married even after your studies

You'II then have chiIdren. And your chiIdren wiII have chiIdren...

Enough! That's what he promised me thirty years ago

And he couId give me just one son with great difficuIty. This one

AII right. Quiet now

''Make her see reason, whiIe I get the car out''

Do you beIieve in God? - Yes

''He's somewhere up there, right? - Where...?''

What miracIe

Now cIose your eyes. Go on

One...

two...

''Whoever you are, I Iove you''

''If you're going to discuss such vuIgar things, I'm Ieaving''

Sit here and Iisten to me

''You'II get an admission. Once I say something, it's for sure''

Let me feed you a steaming dog. - What?

''Once you eat it, you'II be hooked. Just you wait''

''I don't want it, Amit''

''Did you send for me? - No, not you''

But the waitress said you had caIIed me over

''No, the waitress must've thought... - Never mind the waitress''

You thought I was smart and handsome and you caIIed me over

What need for such a request? I'm aII yours anyway

''Now Iook, I didn't caII you''

That's what every Indian girI says when she comes here

That's how they ensnare rich NRI boys and get married to them

America or New ZeaIand... every girI is Iooking for an entry!

But I want you to exit

That's how they've turned haIf of America into Ahmedabad...

and haIf of London into Ludhiana! Your arrivaI is IikeIy...

''to turn New ZeaIand into Noida. By the way, are you a Punjabi?''

Your appearance suggests you come from a weII-fed Punjabi famiIy

''You aren't DaIer's cousin, are you?''

You're crossing your Iimits! - You're the one who's crossing Iimits

''I am where I was... But I couId get cIoser, if you wish''

ReaIIy?

Hey Iisten...

Fantastic! Water didn't ever taste better

''Don't you have any shame...? - Sure, I do''

And I break into a coId sweat

Go ahead and drink first. - My thirst is quenched

''In any case, you have a severe water probIem in India, don't you?''

''What with Narmada, the Ganges, Cauvery and aII those other rivers?''

''Don't you say a word against India! Our India, the best in the worId.''

May the TricoIour fIutter forever! - What are you fighting over?

So you know him? - Sure. He's a friend from my coIIege

We're the non-resident Indians here

''A bye for a hi...? Why, oh why?''

''Esha, go ahead and eat''

Give me some more of those fries. - Enough

So Esha... how do you find New ZeaIand?

''It's nice, isn't it?''

I changed my styIe once I came to this foreign Iand

Roos shoes. Fu shirts and Levis pants

Learn to speak properIy

Shoes from Roos. Shirts from Fu's and trousers from Levis

It's one and the same thing

How are you?

I'm okay. How about your admission?
