Badhaai Ho (बधाई हो)

-Baljit! -Wait!

-Baljit! -I'll be back in a bit!

The prayers are over and you've turned up now?

Give me a break. My maid skipped work again!

Who's going to do our dishes, you?

Gular! Gular!

Gular! Gu..

Gular! Gular! Gular!

Nakul!

Nakul, for your mother's sake!

The sherbet's here!

Here are the rules.

Show me! Read and understand.

-You especially! -Let's see if you win.

-Babli, see the rules. -Take one each.

-Come on, let's start! -Give me one too.

In such a hurry to gamble...

They've skipped six whole verses!

-Give me one. -Take this. -One for me.

-Girls, are you ready? -Yes, yes...

-We're ready. -Call out the numbers!

-Sixteen. -Wow.

-Forty-six. -Do it properly, Nakul!

The jar's so small, my hand barely fits!

Then tilt it!

-All the chips will fall out. -Fine, continue.

Thief at your door, Number Four.

No luck today!

-Bad luck! -When will I get this one?

MS Dhoni, Number Seven.

-Okay... -Bring your mom some luck!

Pack of cards, Fifty-Two.

Your place or mine... Sixty-Nine.

Mine! Sixty-Nine.

Got anything?

Want to check it out?

Inderpuri Bus number Forty-Seven.

I finished a line!

Come, see for yourself!

It's really not my day!

Tell me about it... -Check it. -All good?

-Come on, where's my prize! -Here you go.

-Oh, no, what's this, Babli? -What's the problem?

Liquid soap? Give me a bar instead.

You know how these maids are,

she'll squeeze it out in four days.

Come on, don't make a fuss.

Last time when you gave me Sprite, did I ask for Fanta?

I know!

Hello.

Yeah, I'm a little busy.

Some important work...

Can't I do it on a Sunday?

Yeah, I'll be there. Sure. See you. Bye.

Buying flowers?

Yeah.

Oh.

When I ask you to buy me flowers,

you get all awkward.

And today you're gifting flowers?

What else can I buy?

You'll only buy flowers for me, understand?

Gift her this.

Are you crazy?

Don't worry, she'll appreciate this.

Are you sure?

Chill, she just wants to meet you.

It's not like we're getting engaged!

Sure? I mean, we can get a cheaper bottle...

Surely she'll appreciate that too.

Thank you, Aunty... I don't drink, actually.

He's lying, Mom.

He can drink anyone under the table.

You don't have to feel shy...

Renee had her first drink with me!

Aunty, actually I need to pick Dad up

so I've to drive back home, that's why.

Ah! Where do you stay?

Lodhi Colony.

Father's a government employee?

Yeah, railways.

Indian Railway Services, yeah.

No. He's a Ticket Inspector with the Northern Railways.

Renee was telling me that...

-you're going to the US for on-site work? -Yeah...

Well, laughing at your boss's sad jokes

ought to get you somewhere!

Renee!

I haven't decided yet, Aunty.

Haven't discussed it with my parents.

But I'm sure they'll be more than happy, no?

Yeah, maybe.

But mom feels a family should stay together.

I also think I can't stay away from home for long.

This wine is really nice.

Thank you.

Really nice, yes.

-Come again. -Sure.

-Bye, Aunty. -See you.

Oh, 'Kaushiks'!

You know I've always wondered...

Whether 'Kaushiks' should have an apostrophe or not...

Mom!

-No, it's just really interesting...

To know what the car owner wants to say.

That this car belongs to the Kaushik family...

Or that there are many Kaushiks sitting in it?

Well, Aunty, the car is ours.

And I've got the papers to prove it.

But only my brother can say what this is supposed to mean.

He got this done.

As far as this horror-movie font is concerned...

I think it probably wants to say, our family's a little... Spooky.

We must beware, then.

-Goodbye, Aunty. -Goodbye. -See you.

-What? -Come on.

Where is he?

-Ravinder! -Yes, sir.

-Here's a piece of advice. Listen carefully. -Okay.

Hey... It'll fall!

Look. You're already married.

But before you have a baby...

Think it through. Plan it properly.

Today's generation... They're not like us.

They neither value their parents, nor their time.

There he comes!

Thank God!

I've been waiting since half an hour!

Why're you lying, Dad? The train arrived five minutes ago!

Stand in this heat and you'll know how it feels.

What are you doing?

It's his job.

Fine, give him mangoes.

Wait.

Here.

Go, enjoy.

Do they grow in our backyard?

Drive slow.

It doesn't speed up even on top gear!

Drive slow!

Told you so many times, let me get a new car...

What's wrong with this one?

It's been over 13 years. I've had no problems with it.

Just listen to yourself.

Reached, finally!

Mr. Kaushik!

Hello... All well?

-Carry the carton carefully. -Yes.

-Hello, Uncle. -Got mangoes, son?

Yes, Uncle.

Not that dad's going to share any...

Mom...

How're the mangoes?

Really sweet, son. Delicious!

Not a patch on 'Langra' mangoes.

Those are a class apart.

They've called me early to office...

They go to the office together every day...

And he's still always on the phone with her.

I don't get it!

He's grown up.

Let him do as he pleases.

Focus on the younger one. His final-year exams are approaching!

God knows what he'll do.

What will he do? Embarrass us, what else!

We'll have to hand him everything on a platter.

I'll have to use up my retirement fund!

Nakul never gave us any trouble.

Especially when it came to studies.

Gular! Gular!

Gular! Dad got us mangoes, son. Have some.

Not interested, Mom. You help yourself.

Look at his attitude.

Won't even talk properly!

Why blame him?

It's your fault.

Before he was born,

didn't you leave Khatauli and go to Meerut

to your parents'?

He was bound to be detached!

The water in that city is cursed.

Even Shravan Kumar the devoted son from the Ramayana

betrayed his parents there.

What are you staring at?

It's in the scriptures!

Tell you what.

The demon Raavan's wife Mandodari,

didn't she also hail from Meerut?

Of course, I'm the witch haunting this blessed home!

After all, your son is Lord Rama incarnate!

-Oh, Babli, what's all this? -You keep quiet!

So tell me, what's wrong with my son?

Tell me, what's wrong.

In fact, may God bless everyone with a son like him...

Mom, can't you give it a break?

When she speaks against you, you barely squeak...

And you boss over your poor old mother!

That's your only weakness, Jeetu!

You're scared of your wife!

-Why, mom... -'Why, mom!'
