Call the mic man!

Suresh, remove sir's mic.

- Sir, shall I come in? - Come in.

- Greetings, sir. - Greetings.

- You were awesome, sir! - Really?

My hands are swollen because of the incessant clapping.

Have those two come as well?

Yes, sir. The sister as well.

- All is well? - First class!

- Very good. - But, sir,

why did they use old currency notes in the play?

Ask him. Ask him!

I told him, sir. He said, "It works!"

- It does work. - It does not, man!

Props should be given a lot of importance in a play.

- It keeps the focus right. - Keep it real in the next show.

Yes, sir.

I meant the fake "real" ones.

Yes, understood, sir.

Sir...

Give me Kalidasa's role in the next play.

I've memorised all the lines. Check this out.

It's just like that monsoon day, Mallika.

It's raining incessantly, just like then.

It is the same me...

and the same you.

If you play Kalidasa's role,

what will I do? Play Mallika?

Get lost!

Sir!

All of them want to become actors.

Then who will be in the audience?

Who are you?

I'm a priest.

- What are you doing here? - Preparing for the ceremony.

There's a prayer ritual happening in this house today.

For some old guy who is going to die.

By the way, who are you?

I'm the younger son of the old man who is going to die.

Gangaram must have sent you.

No, Guddan did.

Then what's all this? Don't you remember the mantras?

Nobody can understand my pain.

My mother wants me

to take over my uncle's snack empire.

That, too, both the stalls.

But I'm not interested,

so I keep reading up different recipes.

You know how competitive the market is these days.

But, after this, comes my passion.

- Is it? - Yes.

- What is your passion? - Gravity.

Newton.

- Newton? - Apple.

- Apple? - Physics!

I've always been fond of physics.

My father was a priest.

He said that there's no scope for science in India,

so he pushed me into this. But how much can a man remember?

Should I make fries, body diagrams or pray for your father's life?

Just focus on Dad for now, okay?

Come on.

A little higher, son.

Very good. Very good.

He looks pretty young.

- That's not him. - Then who is he?

This is his elder son. My elder brother.

- Where can I meet your father? - You'll meet him soon.

There's still time for the ceremony.

First, make some snacks.

Listen... Hey! Chotke!

Chotke, I got a call from Gangaram this morning.

- Why did you fight with him? - It wasn't me. It was...

What did we do wrong?

He is making us sign the wrong papers, and we should keep quiet?

- So, you'll behave this way? - Dad...

Are you a thug?

Is this how you'll carry the family name?

- Hello. - Hello.

Indian today? Very nice.

And where did you find this clown?

I'm not a clown. My name is Chitrakoot.

- Dad, he's the priest. - Yes.

Him? He seems like...

he was born just a few seconds ago.

How will he save me?

Why won't I save you? Won't I lose money otherwise?

I accept payment only post-survival.

If you don't see results, you'll get your cash back.

So there's no difference between a person and a phone?

You're offering cash back guarantees?

Good Lord!

Just take me. I'm feeling dizzy... Mahipal, my son, I've had enough.

- I can't take it anymore. - Please sit down.

Look, this is a very difficult ritual.

Savitri had performed this for Satyavan.

And defeated Yama, the god of death, with the power of her prayers.

What does all that mean?

Don't ask such questions, son. Focus on the prayer.

Keep it aside.

- Note down the procedure. - You write it down.

Just tell us. It's all right.

On the last second of the fourth quarter of the day,

when the sun will be at an eight-degree angle from Earth,

you'll have to drink water from the Ganges, sir.

Find a cow that is facing the east

and collect its dung in a brass plate.

What if half the cow's face is turned eastwards

and the other is facing elsewhere? Will that work?

- Madam... - I'm just asking.

if half of sir's body works and the other half is paralysed,

will that work?

Hello? Yes, boss.

Boss, it's taking more time here.

Boss, your voice isn't clear.

Hello, what are you saying, boss?

What, boss? What trucker?

Mother...

What are you doing?

Hey, chant louder or I'll thrash you!

Wow!

His boss is cursing his dead mother, and he's calmly listening to it.

Dad, you'll get me fired.

Dad, he gives him money too. He has to listen to his cusses.

Is it?

Those whose fathers refuse to give money,

that's how they are cursed everywhere in the world.

Absolutely.

- Shut up, Bandicoot! - It's Chitrakoot.

Whatever, just shut up!

What do you mean, young master? Haven't I ever given you money?

Did I ever remind you about all the money you lost

over the rural homestay you started?

Did I mention how you passed high school?

Enough, Dad!

Dad, not fair. Failure is a part of success.

Don't force me to talk. You're not self-made either.

Everybody knows that you inherited a lot of wealth from our ancestors.

Brother, why would you say that?

I was 17 when I started fending for myself.

You were also born.

I was born, but that's not called fending for yourself.

It's called child marriage.

If not anything, you've learnt to mock from your father.

Dad, why are you doing this? Brother will be angry.

- Where are you going? - Eating my head. Let me go.

- He's not a bull to get angry! - It makes no difference to him!

You don't take my side.

- I was joking. - This was no joke!

You're always taunting me, humiliating me.

If you take one more step, you'll see me dead.

Boss...

I told you that my father is going to die.

Yes, I'll return as soon as he dies.

Shut up now!

I made a big mistake by treating his polio.

Dad, please keep quiet for a while.

Whatever.

Boss, please don't do this. Look, I'm loyal to you.

Boss, how many times have I...

Boss, I'll be ruined. Please don't do this.

Hello, boss? Hello? Hello?

Wonderful, my Lord! Your miracles are remarkable.

The father is alive, but Mr. Shishupal here

is praying for his death all day and night.

Dad, I'm not the only one praying! Everybody is!

Babloo feeds you jalebis

even though he knows you're diabetic.

Sir, please sit.

- Shishupal... daughter... - Brother!

Can I get some water?

I'll get it.

- Make it an orange juice. - Sure, I will.

Why did you stop, mister?

What's the hurry, sir?

This ritual will continue for the next three days.

What?

Sir, take these flowers.

What do you think of yourself? I'm not afraid of you.

I'm warning you, if I... Hello? Hello!

Damn it!

- Who was it? - Nobody.

- Will you tell me? - I'm telling you, it was nobody.

This is the problem. You don't tell me anything.

Chotke shares everything with my sister.

- Then why did you marry me? - What do I tell you?

What all should I tell you? It isn't just one problem!
