Shimla Mirchi (शिमला मिर्ची)

Avi, I need to ask you something.

Please don’t say, "no."

What if I say "yes" before you ask?

Then, I will always be grateful to you.

Why are you being so formal? It’s me.

Actually, I...

I don’t know how to say this.

I...

I mean my...

-You as well? -No.

It’s easy. You can say it.

You can do it.

My mom is in love with you.

Come on.

What are you guys doing?

We’re enjoying ourselves.

You've come to Shimla after two years.

What do you know?

Just wait and watch, sister-in-law.

Soon, he’ll stop coming to Shimla for good.

I disagree, Kannu.

Next year, he'll be here with a girl!

His girlfriend.

Or Mrs. Avinash.

Right, Avi?

Don’t worry, Grandma.

Everything will be normal once he gets married.

You've poisoned the child's mind as well.

Have I ever complained about coming here?

I am bored of coming to the same hill station, all my life.

-But do I ever complain? -No.

You haven't complained yet. But I don't trust you.

You’re very unpredictable.

No, Auntie, never.

I’ll never complain.

I’ll just leave quietly, if I'm bored.

We’re here just for a week.

“Leave quietly!”

I know, Mom.

And I’ll seriously try to stay for a couple of days.

Uncle, stop making excuses.

It’s such a beautiful place.

You’re not leaving.

You find it beautiful, just because this is your second trip.

This is my twenty-second trip.

But, if I still find something attractive...

I promise I won't leave.

Couldn’t you guys relax?

You could've attacked the market later.

Not everyone comes here to sleep.

Talking to you guys is a waste of time.

My love!

-How’s it going? -Great.

Come on don't be shy!

Alright.

-How have you been? -I'm good.

-And you? -Great.

-I have a new book for you. -Which one?

-Do you want to see? -Of course.

100 ways to woo a girl.

Bastard!

-Any luck? -Not yet.

Whenever I try to convey my feelings to a girl...

I get totally dumbstruck.

Yeah?

I was trying to say...

I was saying that...

So, you couldn't ask a girl out. What's the big deal?

There’s always arranged marriage.

You won't have to talk there.

The family takes care of everything.

You don’t need to worry.

The day I find true love...

I’ll ask her out in grand style.

Wait. Wait.

What’s taking them so long? What are they doing?

Grandma! Auntie! Let’s go.

Where?

-Come on. -Where are you taking us?

Wait. Wait.

I came over to borrow a hammer,

not to be a part of your silly photo shoot.

Cover your head. Cover it.

And give me a good pose. Something like this.

That’s more like it.

What a beautiful girl.

Yes, Sonu. She’s very beautiful.

But she’s a little too pretty for our Avi.

Your shop is doing well.

Maybe you should think about my café as well.

Don't be jealous!

You’re not the sole owner of that café.

I’ve invested in it as well.

Talking to you is a waste of time.

Go ahead, click.

You didn’t wear the head ornament.

Head ornament?

Look, I don’t have time for that.

-This is your last and final pose. -Please.

Sangeeta, get the head ornament quickly.

I wish Avi was good enough to ask her out.

She would become our daughter-in-law.

Daughter-in-law?

Hold on, sister.

She’s not a piece of mango which you can pick and take home.

Wait, let me talk to her.

Just two minutes.

Just a minute.

Hi, dear.

Namaste.

Are you... married?

No... I'm not.

And I don't intend to.

Just one minute!

This Vikas is good for nothing.

Yeah, Captain Uncle.

-The false ceiling fell down! -What?

The false ceiling fell down?

Yes... the false ceiling.

Stay there, I am coming over.

I will show that bloody...

-Naina, my photo-shoot. -My child!

Mishti will love this!

Mishti, where are you going?

I want to sit with Auntie.

Did you pack the walnuts?

Listen... I had fun this time.

Mishti, say goodbye to Riz Road.

-What's wrong, Avi? -Nothing.

You know what, you guys go on.

I’m going to stay.

Don’t translate it. Tell us what's wrong.

Why do you want to stay back?

Nothing.

I just don’t want to leave yet.

What’s wrong, Avi?

Nothing, Mom, I just...

Do you guys get why Avi wants to stay back?

Of course, son. You can stay as long as you want.

May God give you the strength

to propose the girl this time.

Mom!

But who is she?

I don’t know.

What? No, there’s no one.

Your uncle used to say...

Mishti, cover your ears.

Yes, Auntie. I’ll try my best.

Here’s your luggage.

And this time come back only after you have wooed her.

I admit it's a big order...

but, we don’t deliver food. We’re short-staffed.

What can I do if you’re all alone at home? I can’t come over.

I said I cannot come over.

I’m a changed man now, madam.

And...

Captain Uncle, I’m going to crush that contractor Vikas today--

Candidates for the interview are here.

He's been working for six months and the place is already falling apart and--

What are you doing?

Are you blind?

What are you doing, Naina?

You know what, why don’t you break a few more.

Hey! Hey!

Hey... what are you doing, Naina? What are you doing?

We need to hire people

who are willing to stay and work.

If you keep behaving like this...

who would want to stay here?

I’ll get on with the interviews.

Send them in one by one.

Guy number one... come in.

Keep your file.

Tell me about your education.

You’ll have to do everything here.

I’ll even make you clean the bathroom.

Why?

I’ll pay you 5,000 rupees.

No? Please leave.

Why do you show up for the interview if you don’t want to work?

Come, please.

Who's next?

...for all the chores.

You're cooking almost after a year.

Well, the weather’s quite special today.

This 24 karat smile is the most special.

Just like you started cooking...

you should resume your dance practice as well.

I will.

Kidney beans. Okra.

You know what...

Let’s sign the divorce papers as well.

Let’s start with a clean slate.

Should I call Tilak and tell him...

that you’re signing the divorce papers.

Why do you call him "Tilak"?

Call him Papa.

Mom... he’s no longer my papa.

And he’s never coming back here either.

So, I am telling him that you’re signing the divorce papers.
