Keshav...

Here.

Laxmi.

Bandya has arrived.

Has he?

Yes.

Do we need to call him?

What do you mean? Call him.

What took you so long, Bandu?

It's my daughter's birthday. So I was busy making preparations at home.

Is it?

- Is it connected? - Yes, it's connected.

Father.

How are you, Madhav?

You called me at this late hour to ask me this?

I was fast asleep.

But I don't think it's too late over there.

- Must be around 8:00 or 8:30 p. m. ? - Yes.

We're going on a road trip in the morning.

Rasika and me.

- I see. - That's why we turned in early.

- What is it? - It's...

nothing urgent.

We just wanted to see you, I mean, both of you.

That's why we called.

Didn't we speak only a week ago?

What do you think will change in a week, mom?

That's not the case.

- Actually, - But what...

your father had something to say.

- Then put him on the line. - Here.

Take it.

It was nothing.

You didn't send any money these last couple of months.

We haven't been able to pay back the loan instalments.

I don't have any money, father.

I just got married recently.

I can't pay for your expenses.

But I had borrowed that money for your education.

I am your son, after all.

I know, but...

we mortgaged the house.

So sell off the house,

and pay off the loan.

Sell the house?

It's been in the family for generations!

But you can't hold on to it forever.

Will you be taking it with you to heaven?

Be practical.

Sell off this house and buy a smaller house.

It will be one less burden off my chest,

and you'll be free of this stress.

What are you saying, Madhav?

The truth.

Do we have an option?

- That's not what I meant. - Let's speak later, mom.

I have to sleep.

Madhav...

But...

You asked me to say something.

I finally said it today.

It's pretty late in the night over there.

- And we woke him up. - Yes.

We shouldn't have called him in the first place.

I'm off to the market. Are you coming?

Yes.

- Come, I'll give both of you a lift. - I am coming.

Yes.

Next time you tell her your phone is not working.

- Stop here. - Stop. Stop.

Carefully.

Yes.

- Mind your step. - Yes.

- Praise to god. - God bless.

Here.

- It's not required, aunty... - It's not for you.

It's for your daughter whose birthday it is today.

- Tell her it's grandma's blessing. - I will.

Thank you.

Go carefully.

Yes.

Give me a pound of beans and an ounce of tomatoes.

Are you serious?

Everything is so expensive. Money doesn't grow on trees.

- Please, no beans. - Keep this.

And buy whatever you like.

Always dictating her terms.

Always.

Why do you get so irritated with me?

Should I not?

You always insist on calling that 'beloved' son of ours.

But all he does is humiliate us.

What humiliation?

He is our son.

Are you blaming me for calling my only son?

Your only son did not inform his only parents about his marriage.

He has money to splurge on a new home and on his wedding.

While his father is drowning in debts.

What's done is done.

He will pay off the debt soon.

Solving the math of money is very difficult.

He made it pretty easy for us.

Sell the house and move to a smaller house.

So let's shift into a petit little house.

Can you please stop grumbling?

I am sure of it,

everything will work out in the end.

It doesn't make any sense to me.

Even though everything is crystal clear,

why do you take his side?

Because I am a MOTHER.

And I am the enemy.

- How are you, uncle? - All good.

I need a garland.

- I've one over here. - You do.

What were you doing over there?

What...

Gifting a flower.

Marigold?

- Take a rose instead. - Ah...

What are you doing?

We are in the market.

- Everyone's watching. - Let them watch.

- It's okay. - I'll hold it in my hand.

All done?

- How much? - Sixty rupees.

Give.

Take...

- Come. - Yes.

How much longer?

I'm almost done.

Great.

The Patihani (Sari) looks gorgeous.

Wish I could keep this one for you.

Don't we have a tree growing money bills

and coins in our backyard.

If our 'Coin' (son) had worked out right,

I would have bought half a dozen saris like this for you.

You are still thinking about that?

Madhav has his own personal problems.

Madhav's problems.

Oh my...

When will you weave a beautiful'Paithani' like this for me?

First, you get some good numbers in your exam,

then I'll weave a gorgeous'Paithani' for you.

Promise?

Promise.

Okay. Father sent this sago porridge for everyone.

Why take so much trouble?

What trouble?

You do so much for me.

Do you charge me tuition fee?

Okay. Keep it inside.

It's not for keeping inside.

I have also not eaten because I wanted to eat with both of you.

Okay, fine.

Let me heat it up for you two.

I will break my fast only after moonrise.

I don't have to wait for the moon to rise,

because I carry my moon with me.

Am I right?

- Run back home. - Yes, go home.

Why are you hitting me, idiot?

Let's go inside. Don't just...

Hello, aunty.

What?

Do you like it?

It's amazing.

But expensive.

Silly.

Are you crazy? What expensive? Take it.

It's our property.

Wear it and show me.

She says it's expensive.

You see sir,

When the house is mortgaged to me,

then all the stuff it has also becomes my property.

Go inside, will you?

Time pass.

Is the bedroom ready, Sir?

- Mr. Dilip. - Yes.

I'll pay your money today.

But I am short of 4000 rupees.

Why?

I will pay the rest in a couple of days.

But we'll get paid only when we deliver the sari...

Stop ranting about the sari, Sir.

Here. Hold this.

It's chicken tandoori. Heat it up for me.

- Come on. - Mr. Dilip.

I mean...

I am a devotee of God.

And I still heat it up for you.

But not today.

Why?

Today is 'Sankashti' (auspicious day).

So what?

Well, you can eat this,

but only if you can eat this outside.

I will make arrangements for you.
