-
I will never send you to an academy
but I can allow one to come home.
-
I'll talk to him today.
-
Yes grandma, I remember everything.
-
Hello uncle.
-
Hello dear.
-
You're here now. Lets go.
-
What are you looking at?
-
Nothing. Come on.
-
Wait a minute. They're coming.
-
Here they come.
-
Will Munni and Rani come with us too?
-
Yes.
-
You should have told me earlier.
I'd never go with them.
-
Why are you saying this? They'll listen.
-
I don't care. I'm going home.
-
You go ahead with your new friends.
-
But Joya, you're my only friend.
-
I called them with a purpose.
Raani's uncle owns a shop at Tariq Road.
-
They'll give you a discount and Munni's fiance has a food stall at Bahadurabad.
-
We'll eat for free. Now come.
-
Hmm...
-
Hie..
-
Why aren't you covering your head?
You're getting married soon.
-
If you find someone from your in laws, they'll say, you're roaming around in the markets without covering you head.
-
Yes. I just saw an engagement broke.
-
Oh God.. Whose?
-
First of all you should change your number.
-
She's right. I'll break my SIM card.
-
What if you get an unwanted message?
Oh God..
-
Get the auto rikshaw..
-
Brother. Wait.. Come.
-
Come on now..
-
Why are you sitting here?
-
Come on in.
-
How will we all fit in this small space?
Lets get another one.
-
Oh. Come on in..
-
You sit in the middle.
My dress is all crammed.
-
Come sit here. Here is some space.
You move further.. You sit here.
-
Do you have easy load? Oh, there, next to
the snooker table. Thank you anyways.
-
Listen. Can you wait a moment, brother?
-
Brother?
Wow. Amazing. Yes? Tell me.
-
Actually.. what is the name of your son?
-
Hamza.
-
Did he take something on credit.
See, I know he's my son, but..
-
he pays for his own groceries. He earns very well,
he'll pay his own bills.
-
No. We don't take credit.
There's something else.
-
Actually, I wanted to talk to him about my daughter.
-
About your daughter? With Hamza?
-
Alright. But shouldn't we discuss this somewhere
else and not on the streets.
-
You should come to our place in the evening.
We'll have tea and talk peacefully.
-
Should I come to your house?
-
Yes. Of course.
We'll sit and discuss everything.
-
Alright. I'll come.
-
But it was just a small thing.
We could discuss here. But its okay.
-
I'll come.
-
Alright.
-
Amazing.
This means the girl's mother is coming over.
-
Yes dad. I was actually thinking.
-
Isn't this wrong? Traditionally the boy's side
goes to the girl's house with the proposal.
-
But now the girl's mother is coming over.
What is this?
-
Let all that be. Times have changed.
-
If we keep following the old traditions, we won't have any bride coming to our house.
-
Dad, I was thinking, we should call over Haseena.
-
We should request her to come since we don't have a woman in our house.
-
At least, she'll be able to talk to her from our side. I think they're friends too.
-
No.. Let it be.
-
If they didn't bring Haseena in between even
if they have been friends
-
We shouldn't be doing that too.
-
She is like that too.
-
She won't even care, we're her tenants
and ask for her free.
-
You're right. We're getting a free proposal,
why should we spend money?
-
Again you talk about spending money?
-
All you talk about is spending money.
-
How is the girl to look at?
-
I haven't really seen her ever,
but saw her once or twice only.
-
But what do we have to do with how she looks.
We only want,
-
a bride in our house, our daughter in law.
-
No dear.
-
We don't have to think about ourselves,
but about Hamza.
-
The girl should be good looking.
-
How is her mother to look at?
-
Her mother?
-
She's fine.
-
Hmm.. I wish, she takes after her aunts.
-
Who knows?
What if they're not even good looking?
-
Don't put me in any doubts.
Now go and get some biscuits and pastries.
-
I'm not getting any pastries.
-
Why spend so much?
I'll get some biscuits and fried puffs.
-
Even they are so expensive.
-
Oh, shut up you.
Take the money from me.
-
Go now.
-
First give me the money then.
-
I will give you. How will I bring them now?
-
Dad, all you do is make me spend everywhere.
-
Oh.. Oh God.
-
My rib cage hurts. The drive was so bumpy.
-
Where are your ribs?
You took up all the space.
-
We'll take two auto rikshaws when we go back.
All my dress is ruined.
-
Yes. How much?
-
150 rupees.
-
Why 150 rupees?
-
We come here everyday. We're giving you 80 rupees only.
But everything is so expensive these days.
-
What do we have to do with the expensive things?
It was such a small ride. 80 rupees is enough.
-
Take 100 rupees or else she won't pay.
-
Take 120...
-
Come inside please. Come.
-
Dad...
-
Yes...
-
The guests are here.
-
Alright.
-
Hello..
-
Long live my child.
-
Come in.. Sit down please.
-
Actually I don't fit it fitting, but..
-
Its the question of my daughter's future, so I came by.
-
You're most welcome.
-
You did good.
-
Now see.. Go get the tea.
-
No. Its alright..
-
No. You'll have to drink tea with us.
Actually,
-
We don't have a woman in our house, so I make the tea. I'll just be back.
-
No. Its alright then.
-
Actually, I have to talk to you only.
Its important that you stay.
-
Yes. Of course.
Talk please. I'm alive.
-
I'm the elder of this house.
I decide everything.
-
Yes dad does.
-
Oh alright.
-
Yes.
-
Actually, I have heard that your grandson,
-
teaches tuition?
-
Oh no. That isn't his permanent job.
-
Actually, he teaches because he likes it.
But he works full time.
-
Yes.
-
He teaches to kill his spare time.
-
See dear, its doesn't look good if boys roam around.
-
Its better they keep themselves busy.
-
Yes. That's what I meant.
-
He'll quit giving tuition once he's married.
-
Yes. Of course.
-
But, why should he? Its good giving tuition.
-
You're right.
-
You're right. If you say, he won't quit.
-
Alright.
-
Yes.
-
Actually, my daughter has to appear
for her intermediate exams.
-
Alright.
-
She's very young. Maybe 18 years of age.
-
She must be not a good student.
-
Actually she lacks in her academics.
-
She takes after her aunt.
And I'm afraid she might fail this year.
-
Its alright dear.
-
What will girls do getting higher education?
-
No. Its very important for girls to be educated.
-
In times like today, a woman should
stand on her own feet.
-
They should have a degree, so that they can do something in bad times.
-
You're absolutely right.
You said what was in my heart.
-
Dad, times are long gone when only one earned for the whole family.
-
Now, husband and wife earn together.
-
Alright, so..
-
I actually wanted, your son and my daughter,
-
Yes, of course.
-
Yes... Yes... Now go and get the sweets.
-
Since you said no to tea,
-
You won't say no to sweets.
-
But, no..
-
We'll get sweets.. We will..
-
Get more than half a kg.
-
Of course, you'll take the sweets.
-
See this,
-
The color is very light. Right Joya?
-
Yes.
-
Hmm. Do you have purple?
-
Yes we do.
-
But it won't suit you.
-
That's why I'm showing you light colors.
Wheat complexions looks rather dull in purple.
-
You think I have a tan complexion. Stupid.
Come Joya. I don't want to shop here.
-
Wait a minute. I'll show you sister.
-
See, now he calls me sister.
-
You seem right from the 80s.
Now show me the other one.
-
Fari, I'm thirsty. Hold this, I'll get some water.
-
Cut this for me, all colors suit me.
-
Sorry, this is only one piece and you need
at least two shirts for yourself.
-
Please have this.. Please..
-
Thank you.. Actually, I..
-
I don't meet people.
-
Had it not been for my daughter, I wouldn't have
come here, but I'm glad to meet you.
-
You're such good people. We know about
people when we meet them.
-
You're absolutely right. Of course.
-
Now, if we can confirm the fee,
I'll think the deal will be done.
-
Money?
-
You said, they were from a good family..
-
Talk amongst yourself and ask your son too.
-
But please keep a light hand,
because I cannot afford much.
-
Oh, you have to give.
-
Dad, she's talking about the dowry.
-
We don't need anything..
-
You scared me..
-
We don't need anything, its a curse.
-
Do you see this house,
-
Our house is filled..
-
But please listen to me.
-
Please listen to me.. That is too much.. See..
-
He needs to have his pay. His fee. Now tell me how much he'll charge for 2 hours.
-
Fee?
-
2 hours?
-
Yes, 2 hours will be enough for English and History.
-
Will he be able to teach her History for Intermediate?
-
What are you saying? History?
-
What happened? English and History?
-
So tell me, how much he'll charge for
two hours in a month?
-
I mean, how much he will charge for
tuition daily for 2 hours?
-
5000.
-
What juice will you have?
-
Why are you stalking us since three hours?
What if someone sees you?
-
My heart compelled me. Just like your heart compelled you to ditch your friends and come see me.
-
I came here to tell you off.
For God's sake go home please.
-
Did you not buy bangles?
Can I get you some?
-
Worry about your own self.
Someone might handcuff you.
-
That Munni thinks very highly of herself.
-
She'll think you're stalking her and
gather the whole market.
-
What?
-
So set her mind straight.
Tell her I'm here for you.
-
You really want to ruin my reputation?
-
Trust me, I'd never do.
I couldn't hold back. I'll just leave.
-
By the way, we might get a way to meet each other.
-
What is that?
-
Mom said that,
-
what?
-
Oh God. They're looking for me.
I'll have to go.
-
Joya.. Joya, tell me the whole thing.
-
5000.. They asked for 5000.
-
May God teach them a lesson. Its just two hours.
Look how greedy they are.
-
What happened?
-
What else?
You're academics are costing me.
-
I went to talk to Haseena's tenants for you.
But they asked for 5000.
-
5000?
-
I told them straight off, that 2000
were enough for 2 hours.
-
You're right. That's enough.
-
2 hours mom.. This means 60 hours a month..
-
Who charges 2000 for 60 hours?
-
So you want me to give them 60,000?
-
As if I own a lot of treasure.
-
People have become so greedy.
-
They don't even care for their neighbors.
-
God knows whose replaced salt for blood in our hearts.
-
Nobody is kind anymore.
-
One more tuition?
-
Dad, I can't. Please.
-
What is wrong with you?
-
They are neighbor. She is very worried about her daughter. If you help her pass,
-
it would be good.
-
Dad, I cannot. I am not responsible.
I'm already tired with one tuition that I'm giving.
-
I cannot spend more time with kids. I'm done.
-
Amazing.
-
Let it be. Let this go then.
-
Never think about increasing your income. Just ignore the opportunities that come your way.
-
She was telling me, that she'd give 2000 for two hours.
I said no, this wasn't affordable.
-
I asked them for 5000 but she'll agree on 4000.
-
What difference does it make?
-
I don't care even if she agrees for 5000.
-
Enough. Your uncle rejects proposals
that come his way.
-
And you, income.. You ungrateful people.
-
Then ask uncle, he'll teach the kid.
-
You're right.
-
Yes.
-
Simple..
-
Why didn't you tell me? I'm dying of suspense.
Now tell me.
-
What is there to tell?
-
You were saying that..
-
You were saying we could meet.
-
But you shut that door yourself because of your greed.
-
What did I do? What greed?
-
You asked for 5000?
-
But I have never taught anyone in my entire life.
-
Then do it now.
-
Don't say no, I've already promised.
-
Then break the promise.
-
You never make promises, why did you do this then?
-
What is your problem?
-
What is wrong with you?
You're a graduate.
-
You cannot teach an intermediate.
And I will not keep the money for myself.
-
You'll use it.
Your insurance business isn't working out.
-
You may earn some from here only.
Now don't say anything more. Move.
-
Move, I have to go offer prayers.
-
Listen to me at least.
-
Enough.
-
What?
-
They wanted me to teach you?
-
What else?
-
And you wanted to make money out of it.
-
It wasn't me. It was my dad.
-
I'll talk to him in the morning. I didn't know he wanted me to teach you. I said no right away.
-
Don't you worry. I'll talk in the morning.
-
I can teach you for free.
-
Now don't do this.
My mom will doubt us then.
-
As if my dad will let me teach you for free.
-
Only a non believer would mix water in milk.
-
Then you non believer, give me this
half kg milk mixed with half kg of water.
-
Hello.
-
Hello.
-
Wait a minute.
-
I wanted to talk about something important.
-
Actually I thought about what you said last night.
-
I know 5000 is too much for you, although
I know I am right while demanding it.
-
Hamza is a very expensive item.
I have spent a lot of money on him.
-
He has studied 17 classes.
-
Alright. I don't want to argue early in the morning.
Let the day begin at least.
-
No. I was actually saying that
I had another option as well.
-
A much affordable package.
-
Affordable package?
-
My brother Luqman, he is a graduate.
-
He can teach for only 3000, for two hours.
-
Where is Joya?
Ask her to stay at home in the evening.
-
She shouldn't be roaming around
in the markets with Fari.
-
I have confirmed her tuition for 3000 rupees.
-
Did he agree?
-
But mom, don't you deceive me. I will let him in my house, when you promise to watch her over.
-
Sit with him while he teaches her.
-
Of course I'll sit here and guard them.
-
Don't you trust your daughter at all?
-
I trust my daughter but not this world.
-
Its good that, that young man isn't coming to teach her. His uncle will come.
-
He's a widower so he's less dangerous but still..
-
Keep an eye on them.
-
Of course I will. I will guard them with my life.
-
For Gemini..
-
And for Virgo,
-
Dad, I'm leaving for work.
I'll be back soon. Actually,
-
What time did you tell me?
-
Time for what?
-
For the tuition?
-
Now since you insisted, I'll teach.
-
As it is, educating someone is a good thing.
-
My dear son, you have a lot of time
to do other good things.
-
Let Luqman do this good deed.
-
What?
-
Yes. That woman is such a miser.
-
She has agreed not to give a dime more than 3000.
-
And my dear son, I've spend hundreds
of thousands on you.
-
Why should I undersell you?
-
But dad, uncle...
-
Dear, they can only afford your uncle.
-
He graduated in the third division.
They can only afford him.
-
For 3000, he is a fine tutor.
-
The girl will fail because of uncle.
-
He needs tuition himself.
-
Not to worry.
-
We don't have to get the girl medals for 3000 only.
-
The elders have always said, a good price
is a one time good bargain.
-
And listen, didn't I ask you to wear solid colors all week?
-
Why are you wearing this white shirt then?
-
Dad, ain't I wearing this?
-
And you've given me a bad news already.
-
What?
-
I mean, think about it again.
I can go if you want.
-
No. You go where you were going.
-
As if you want to spread knowledge as it it.
-
Oh God. Its already 3.
-
He will come to teach me at 4.30pm.
-
I know what he will teach me.
-
What should I wear?
-
I will get ready and look good.
-
Oh so you're trying to be smart.
-
Fooling me?
Alright dear, I am very smart myself.
-
For how long have you been widowed?
-
It seems like a life time.
-
Joya... Your teacher is waiting.
-
Coming grandma. 2 minutes.
-
See Mister,
-
our household is very strict.
-
We have always brought up our daughters
hidden from the world's eye.
-
Its because of her education that we are
forced to send her to college.
-
But we haven't let her reign free.
She is not at all worldly.
-
Oh God, have you seen how the other girls
go to college all decked up?
-
Our daughter had no links with makeup
and everything else.
-
No jewelry, no nothing.
-
All these things..
-
don't suit unmarried girls.
-
Come sit since you're here now.
-
He is your teacher.
Open you books and say hello.
-
Hello, sir.
-
This is the final..
-
Why didn't you tell me at all?
-
Hello.. Why did you all come so late?
-
Who else would get me ready?
-
Do I look good?
-
Why are all of you laughing?
-
Sing some good songs, its a happy occasion.
-
All you do is laugh.. Salman..
-
Bring more mattresses.
I am.
-
Go on. Sing.
-
Sing now.
Now should I sing myself on my wedding?
-
But where is the drum?
-
Oh. I asked Salman. Salman..
-
Salman?
-
What is it?
-
Why didn't you bring the drum from the neighbors?
-
You get it yourself. Why should I?
-
What? Why should she bring it?
-
Please go get it.
You're my brother and I'm the bride.
-
Please change your groom first or his name first.
-
I'll bring it only then.
-
Salman...
-
You people start. Come on now.
-
But where is Joya?
-
That's what I am wondering..
-
Why isn't she here?
-
Yes. Joya isn't here. I'll call her. You people sing.
-
Everybody is waiting for you here.
-
I am waiting too.
-
You should wait. That's what you deserve.
-
Why are you so pissed off?
-
Really?
-
As if you don't know anything.
Can't you do one thing?
-
You sent your uncle. And he seemed as if
he was pining to teach someone.
-
He let me go after 3.5 hours and that too with so much home work.
-
Now should I complete this or come there and sing.
-
See, I gave such a good idea.
We worked well without the drum.
-
But you won't be able to do anything without a makeup artist. Only a few days are left. Did you find someone?
-
No. What should I do?
-
There is no beautician like me.
-
Now tell me, should I do my own make up
on my own wedding?
-
Oh. And what will become of us?
You do our make up on all events. What will we do now?
-
See, all of you are worried about yourselves.
-
Nobody is worried about the bride.
-
I'll ask my sister in law.
-
She got ready from you on her reception but on her wedding day, she got her makeup done from a nearby beautician.
-
Should I ask about her?
-
Her sister in law looked like a witch on her wedding day.
-
I decked her up for her reception.
Otherwise your brother,
-
he was having second thoughts the next day.
Don't you remember?
-
A tailor doesn't like another tailor nor
does a beautician like another.
-
Hamza, please be careful. I'm watching.
There is fridge and TV.
-
The washing machine might break
and I'll break your legs then.
-
Nothing will break. You should have called for helpers.
-
And why then are you all tagging along as her brothers?
-
This sister is costing us.
-
Take the fan with care.
-
Come on Salman. Come along.
-
Don't drag the sofa. The frame will suffer.
-
I was actually saying, why did you have to bring everything and keep at home, so many days before the wedding?
-
You should have send it to the groom's house.
-
I thought I'd keep the dowry here.
-
I have emptied Fari's room too.
-
I thought she'd spend a few days with me,
before she leaves.
-
And I'll show these things to all my relatives.
-
May God bless the child.
-
Oh Hamza..
-
Be careful with these things.
-
Don't worry uncle.
Now give me a hand with this bed.
-
I'll be right back after prayers.
-
Bring it down.
What are you people doing?
-
And why are you standing there with the fan?
-
The wedding is in our neighbors and here I am, working.
-
Why are you dying, its only a little work.
See..
-
everbody shares the work when its a
daughter's wedding.
-
And Haseena has people coming over from her family.
-
They'll need these to sleep on.
-
So you could send them like this.
-
Why did you keep them out in the sun?
-
I have been working for the past two hours.
-
Mom.. I will not send this blanket.
-
Its from my wedding.
-
Its good that you told me. I'll never send it.
This inauspicious blanket.
-
I will not even let its shadow fall on Fari.
Now move it.
-
Mom...
-
*Singing in background*
-
Uncle, get me some tea. My head hurts.
-
This is Haseena's order. She has guests over.
You people sit and wait.
-
Uncle, make it fast.
-
Wait, I'll send over for everyone.
-
I can hear you sing at my shop.
-
And I've been shouting from there for tea.
Its early morning.
-
I can hear you but this is Haseena's special order.
-
I'll send you tea after that.
Please sit.
-
Then I'll send it Mr. Malik.
-
He'll only drink his tea, when he brings the milk.
-
He brings his own milk. Please send me
my tea once you send this order over
-
Where are you going?
-
Actually aunt Haseena called me over.
She had some work.
-
Her works never end. She keeps on telling me
how much she's been spending.
-
But she won't hire a servant at all.
-
Should I not go?
-
No. Go.
-
Finish the work and come back.
Don't sit and sing songs there.
-
Yes.
-
Its so hot today.
-
This is very slow.
-
Should we sing something fast?
-
Which one should we sing?
-
Which song was that?
-
Yes come on. Who knows that song?
-
Come on.. Lets start.
-
Shaheena what are you doing?
-
I am ironing clothes for the wedding tomorrow.
God knows if we have electricity in the morning.
-
Then go outside and iron. I have all the things here.
-
If I iron outside, others will give me their clothes too.
-
No, turn it off.
-
Come on.. Don't iron here.
All this stuff is very expensive.
-
Please do the dance you prepared.
-
Come on. Get up..
-
Please. Please,,
-
Come on. I'll be with you.
