Where are you going early morning?
Do you want to erect a pole or pull a wire?
What is it?
I see.
He is in the bathroom.
Yes, Annu. You are ready?
Okay, listen. Remember to take your PAN card.
While passing by your house, I will honk twice.
Okay. Tell me something. What is 'Shapath Patra'?
Hello. Annu! Annu!
This is Annu's mom speaking. Tell me. What happened?
Hello, aunt. Didn't he wake up?
He is bathing. Tell me.
I can't hear anything, aunt. Hello.
- I can hear you. - Hello. Hello.
You bathed so early morning.
If I bathe, there is a problem. If I don't bathe, there is a problem.
Wonder what she wants.
Where are you going?
Look. I have to go for an important work. Don't disturb me. And don't stop me.
If you don't tell me, you won't get breakfast.
I don't want your breakfast.
Today, I am going to have VIP breakfast.
My phone was ringing. Where is my phone?
Are you done with spying?
I have told you hundred times not to touch my phone.
It's personal.
Why don't you do one thing, mom? Go to Mumbai.
Byomkesh Bakshi's role is lying vacant. You will get the role.
He only will have to go and bring grocery.
Carefully. You will spill the tea.
You clean your ears with these buds and keep it anywhere.
One day I will parcel it to your office.
You can eat watermelon with it.
Why are you taking buds early morning?
You just want Annu to buy grocery. He will bring it.
You have made amazing tea.
Let me enjoy cinnamon flavored tea.
I have put cardamom.
Cardamom had got over, hadn't it?
I took it from 'Garam Masala' box and used it.
Oh man! I have told you so many times.
I like my liquor and tea neat.
You can drink neat, branded, local or whatever you want.
He is leaving.
Don't let him leave without making the list.
If you talk to him lovingly, he will bring it.
He is a kid.
He is a grownup man. He was born in '98.
'Soldier' had released in '98.
Remember?
We had gone to Payal talkies to watch it.
Bobby Deol was shaking his shoulder and dancing.
Soldier. Soldier.
Soldier.
Oh man!
Hey, Bobby Deol!
Where are you going with oil in your hair?
Papa, it's perfume. Cobra.
Mom, did you see my wallet?
What?
Purse.
I see. Does it have anything for us to see?
My PAN card is in it.
At times use it too, son.
I will use it, papa. Very soon.
Make the grocery list. You don't need PAN card for that.
You people make it every month. Make it.
No, son. You will make it this time.
Is that so?
You won't just make it, but go and buy it too.
Look at her.
- Yes, Lucky. - Annu!

Mishra family's proficient member.
You wear your father's slippers and go to play cricket match.
I have been telling you since 10 days.
Son, you are going to the market. Get it mended. Or else wait and see.
Mishra's slippers.
What are you writing?
You cannot mend slippers at the grocery shop.
You don't have to write it. You have to memorize it.
Anything else?
Aman, do you want anything else?
Maggi. Bournvita. Cream biscuits. That's it.
Write 'Sabzi Masala' (Spice Powder).
I am unable to sleep the whole night.
My stomach grumbles due to fear.
It feels like someone has kept water on stove and increased the flame.
It's just board exam result. Why are you so scared?
You are experienced. But it's my first time.
Okay. Have you guessed how much you will score?
When I had calculated after the exams, it was 89%.
In just one month it has come down by 12%.
It's now 77%.
Papa is getting his slippers mended.
Aman. Do you want anything? He is leaving.
Yes, papa.
I am really scared, Surya Narayan.
I have written body wash. Do you want anything else?

Tell Kishori's son. He will give you whole spices.
Whole spices.
Check it. Otherwise he will give bay leaves in excess.
Papa.
My incense sticks have got over.
And I used up all camphor yesterday.
I see, son. If you say, I will get all veneration items for you.
He has turned the room into a temple.
The pillow smells of clarified butter, the bed sheet smells of incense
and the bed smell of ashes.
I feel like I am staying with a priest and not with my brother.
Why are you so scared?
I had also given exams. My result was also declared.
Yes. Your result was also declared. And everybody knows your result.
I have told you so many times.
Don't talk about my result.
If you leave without the list, I won't spare you.
Leave and see.
He left.
I forgot to take money. I have come for that.
You are a dramatic fellow.
Here.
Take the bags and come out.
If you are unable to take out printout from Lohar Bagh go to Lal Bagh.
Oh man! Hold on.
Yes, uncle Gopal. Pack my face wash, body wash and hair gel.
Aman, check it with the list. Yes.
Affidavit is called 'Shapath Patra', Lucky.
The government also changes every five years.
But you are the same since 20 years.
Do one thing. Sit there. As soon as Mr. Tyagi comes, inform me.
I will leave in 10 minutes.
No work gets done in my absence.
It's such an important day. And I am buying grocery.
Uncle, do you want to run the shop or not?
I had ordered gram flour three hours ago. It's still not delivered.
You know how much my uncle loves gram flour fritters, don't you?
If he doesn't get gram flour fritters on time he starts crying.
He suffers from nervous breakdown.
He is crying at home. Tell me. Who will make him quiet?
Will you do it? Shall I bring him?
Sonny, give him gram flour. Otherwise his uncle will suffer from indigestion.
Here. Take it.
I gave you a small task. And you didn't do it.
Uncle. Uncle Gopal.
- Uncle Gopal. - I will see you. Just wait.
Let me tackle my uncle first.
The handwriting is so bad. It seems like a prescription.
Just do it. You understand everything.
Here, sonny. Do it.
Why are you so scared? It's only result.
Who told you that I am scared of the result?
Today I am also going to get my result.
If I pass today, we will get free cylinder in our house for a year.
I am starting gas agency business.
I will earn Rs.1000 daily.
I will give you Rs.100. You can keep it as pocket money.
Are your legs paining?
Why?
I am unable to placate you today.
Cricket match drama.
And spoiling other's life.
I am not interested in it now.
I don't want 'Dal Moth' (Snack). Give me savory snack.
Remove it.
Have I become an outsider?
I am your elder brother.
If I prosper, you will also prosper.
If I drive a car, you will ride Rajdoot.
- Rajdoot is not manufactured anymore. - Yes. I will buy you Bullet.
Which lentil?
All three.
We have 11 types of lentils.
They have 11 types of lentils.
What are you saying? Leave right now?
Give lentils. Uncle Gopal, pack all three of them.
- Give whatever you want. - Pack whatever he wants.
- At least give me money. - Oh yes!
Here. Keep Rs.1800. I am taking Rs.200.
Uncle Gopal, keep all my things.
Hail an auto for him. He will reach home comfortably.
Don't miss out any item.
Lucky has in trouble, I will have to leave.
Please hail an auto for him. Okay?
How will I carry all the items?
You will manage. You will manage.
Uncle Gopal, please hail an auto for him. Okay?
All the best.
Your bill is Rs.1990.
Who has packed Bournvita? Remove it.
It's done.
Annu's mom. You didn't come to see the fair.
I had whatsapp you.
I don't have so much time, Bittu's mom. Which fair?
You don't know.
I took Bittu to the fair. He started crying at the mask stall.
I want a mask. I want a mask. I told him to buy Hanuman's mask.
He said he wants Sugreev's mask. I bought Sugreev's mask for him.
Just then 10-15 children ran from there wearing the same mask.
Bittu also ran after them.
After running for some time, I couldn't recognize which ape is my Bittu.
I called out Bittu's name. No answer.
I said Sugreev.
Everybody said, "Hail Lord Ram."
I said Sugreev again.
Everybody said, "Hail Lord Ram."
Annu's mom, I thought my Bittu is also saying Hail Lord Ram.
I got so scared. I started crying.
Bittu is missing. My ape Bittu is missing.
The committee people brought a handcart
and took me to 'Lost And Found' department.
I made an announcement on the stage.
Ape Bittu, wherever you are, listen carefully.
Your mom is on the stage, eating cream roll all by herself.
If you want to eat, come immediately.
Annu's mom, the ape jumped from underneath.
And Bittu was on the stage instantly.
He ate about four cream rolls. And I ate six.
Only then did things normalized.
I was really tense.
Why are you roaming around with sugarcane?
Today is 'Ekadashi' (11th day of lunar fortnight).
I am distributing it in the entire locality.
I will give it to you too. Pray for Aman.
- Poor Annu... - Since you have brought it for veneration I will give you money.
- Annu's mom. - Yes. I don't need to hide it from you.
Last night a tractor full of sugarcane passed by our lane.
- Yes. - I jumped on it.
And I grabbed at least 20 sugarcanes. And it fell down.
- Here. - Rs.500 is enough.
I will leave now. I will give it to Mrs. Shukla.
Poor woman has broken her hand.
Do perform veneration for Aman. - Yes. Yes.
Poor Annu...
'Each household's grocery reveals who lives in the house.'
'For example, less sugar means
one of the members is inflicted with diabetes.'
'Consumption of salt reveals whether blood pressure is normal or not.'
'Argument over rice reveals that somebody is cooking something else.'
'And tempering of bay leaves reveals'
'that someone is looking for spice in life.'
'Veneration items reveal the level of fear.'
'And deodorant's new fragrance reveals that'
'somebody is ready to soar.'
Did you bring all the grocery things?
Where is Annu?
Check the items.
Hello, uncle.
Where is Mr. Tyagi?
He had come.
He spitted tobacco and left.
But he said he will come again.
Are you a fool, Lucky?
You are behaving like a tractor's trolley.
All you can do is attach yourself to something.
I left Aman alone over there.
Show me the file.
- Is everything proper? - It's great.
I was asking...how does a gas agency license look like?
Haven't you seen it? It's hung outside Jagdamba's shop.
Yes.
I was thinking that we will keep it in a glass frame.
It will look nice. It will be great.
We will hang it around our neck and roam everywhere.
Right?
Once the shop is finalized, you can do whatever you want.
Rosewood. Sal. Teak.
For now we will just put a plastic cover on it.
But we will use a branded cover. We will laminate it properly.
Otherwise what happens is that bubbles are formed.
And you have to...
He is coming. Mr. Tyagi is coming.
Did you bring sweets?
Yes. Sweets are there. It's at the shop. I forgot it there.
Lucky, you are...
They have many sweets in the fridge.
Sir, please eat 'Laddu' (Sweet ball).
Why only 'Laddu'? I will take a treat from you, Mr. Gupta.
Sir, you are not taking 'Laddu'. How will you take a treat?
Mr. Gupta, just bear in mind that leave alone us
nobody in our locality should face any shortage of cylinder.
It won't happen, sir. I will bear it in mind.
- You take care of me. - Yes. Absolutely.
- Bye, Mr. Gupta. - Yes.
Mr. Tyagi.
Annu. Lucky.
Yes.
Mr. Tyagi, how are you?
Fine. How are you guys?
- Great! - Absolutely fine.
Mr. Tyagi, today is 10th.
You had told us to bring the documents.
I have brought it. Show it to him.
- Which document? - Hey, Lucky!
Mr. Tyagi, here is the PAN card. The affidavit.
- The notary is done. Look, all of it... - Annu. Annu. Annu.
It slipped from my mind.
You see, it's difficult in this lot.
We will see in the next lot. Okay?
Mr. Tyagi, you told us. And Mr. Prinsu also told us.
Mr. Prinsu is a politician. He keeps saying things.
Look. It took Mr. Gupta six years.
These things take time.
What are you saying?
Since a year we have been hovering around you.
Do one thing. Talk to Mr. Prinsu.
- Mr. Prinsu. - Yes.
Mr. Prinsu is an important dignitary.
He is the chairman of municipality. Look there.
Yes. It's true.
n two minutes he confirmed Rajdhani's 32nd waiting number and left for Delhi.
How did he leave for Delhi?
Will he tell you his time table before leaving?
Hold it.
I will talk to Mr. Prinsu personally. Mr. Prinsu.
I told you. He has left for Delhi.
Why are you pushing him?
Go and stand at your place.
Lucky, call up Mr. Prinsu.
Call him. I am telling you. Call him.
Call him quickly.
I will tell Mr. Prinsu to talk to him.
- Many people have done that before. - Call him quickly.
Is it ringing?
- Is it ringing or not? - Yes.
Give me.
He disconnected the call. He must be in a meeting.
- He will call back. - I will call him. Yes. Fine.
I have his new number. I will talk.
Which number have you dialed?
- 9572. - Yes. I have dialed 9572.
I will talk to him.
I am Mr. Prinsu's special man.
He gave me his number.
Had you been special, he would have answered your call by now.
Did you understand?
I am Mr. Prinsu's special man.
Since one year I have been doing your chores.
I organized veneration in the temple. I gathered men.
I shouted in the mike. I organized the match.
Today when I am in need...Mr. Tyagi showed his status.
- Status? - Yes.
- Hadn't you brought him? - Yes.
- Take him away. - Let's go. Let's go.
- Come on. - I am leaving.
Where shall I go? To whom shall I go?
For a year I was trying to get gas agency license.
What do I tell everybody?
Mr. Tyagi showed his true status.
Hold this.
- I will explain. - Hold on.
- Annu Mishra. - Yes.
Your father works as a clerk in the electricity department.
- This is your status. - Status...
- Annu! Annu! - Status...
- Annu! Shall I use my gun? - Mister! Please stop.
- I beg of you. - Hey!
The onus of your career doesn't lie on me.
You had come here on a two-wheeler. Now leave on a two-wheeler.
Prabhu, throw him out.
- Come on. Leave. - Mr. Tyagi, here.
We are leaving, Mr. Tyagi. We are leaving.
- We are leaving. - Take him away. He is quite hot-tempered.
- Get lost! - We are leaving.
Get lost!
Annu!
Pick up the trash and leave.
Yes.
Annu!
Sit down.
Add salt.
It's out of reach.
Lucky's number is also unreachable.
Is this some new type of 'Garam Masala'?
There is a hen on the packet.
It's coriander powder. And it's not a hen.
That's jackfruit on the packet.
Nowadays you get inebriated easily.
Give me. Where is it?
Ask him. Where is it?
Why are you asking me? Ask brother Annu.
What do we do?
Shall we ask Bittu's mom to give a little?
Yes. In return she will alone devour 1 kg chicken.
You are right.
I was telling you that I will bring it.
But you were after Annu. That he will bring it.
He forgot. There is a problem.
Go and buy it.
If you find your son, bring him also along.
Look.
You have come after reforming the society.
Be gentle.
You didn't bring 'Garam Masala'.
How will you gobble leg piece now, Mr. Leader?
I won't eat.
Besides you there are other people in the house who will eat.
So eat. Who has stopped you?
You have stopped us.
Will somebody obey my order?
Fine. I will leave.
Where will you go?
I will go anywhere.
All of you are the house owners. Give the order. I will obey it.
The way you obeyed this morning's order.
Didn't you feel ashamed?
You sent four bags of grocery with your brother.
You bought all useless things for yourself.
There was no money left for his Bournvita.
Where are you going?
Whoever wants to leave, will eat chicken and then leave.
For the first time I am cooking chicken using vegetable spice powder.
Santosh Mishra special.
Will you say something?
- Mom, leave it. How much will you... - Keep quiet.
One slap and it will pain for three days.
Oh man! Why are you so furious?
He just forgot to bring 'Garam Masala'.
He didn't mend your slippers.
What is this, son?
You should have at least mended my slippers.
I have been roaming barefoot since 10 days.
I have to go to the washroom also barefoot.
Why will he mend it?
He feels humiliated to carry your slippers.
Yes. I feel humiliated.
You see, you people didn't do anything that I will feel respected.
So I have to do something to earn respect.
I had gone to earn it, mom.
You can't sleep?
No.
You will be able to sleep.
You also can't sleep?
You will be able to sleep.
Play PUBG.
My phone has broken.
- Here. Eat 'Laddu'. - No. I don't want it.
- No. Have one. - No.
Eat it, sir.
Actually, clarified butter sticks to my tongue.
It doesn't matter. Drink tea.
- Okay. - It will get removed.
Okay. Tell me something, Mr. Agyani.
Did you check properly? His name was on the list.
It's difficult to believe it.
Mr. Mishra, my name might be Arun Kumar Agyani.
- But I also have some knowledge. - No.
As such, even the school peon couldn't believe it.
That Aman Mishra will score 87.04%
I checked it four times. And I told others to check it twice.
Only after that did I buy a garland for him.
Your son is at the bottom of top 3.
Yes. He had worked hard. He used to study day and night.
Yes. He used to study like this.
How much did he score in math?
He was brilliant in math.
Seems like he had memorized it really well.
Whose help did you take?
Sir, crickets'.
Like this.
Sir, meet him.
He is Aman's elder brother.
Who doesn't know him?
I see him often at the bridge.
Mr. Mishra, be ready.
Tomorrow I will send a photographer from the school.
- Is that so? - To click his nice photo.
A hoarding will be put up in the locality.
Along with other toppers.
Amazing!
Are you sure my name was written?
I also couldn't believe it. But it's true.
My photo will be displayed.
Why not? For sure.
You also couldn't believe it, right?
- I am still unable to believe it. - I couldn't believe it.
I believed it only while I was coming.
What will you do with so much money?
I am thinking of buying a new phone.
And gifting it to you.
You were too good.
I can't tell you how happy I am.
If you are happy, then I am also happy.
Always be happy.
Don't be like me.
What's the flaw in you?
You have such a lovely nose.
I do have a lovely nose.
Aman, there are two kinds of kite flyers in the world.
One kind...loosens the thread and cuts the kite.
And the other kind pulls the thread and cuts the kite.
That day what I told you...was wrong.
The truth is that... loosening the thread and cutting the kite
gives you the same pleasure as pulling the thread and cutting the kite.
The only difference is that the one
who pulls and cuts makes a lot of noise like me.
And when people like me lose
we become a laughingstock in the society.
But those who loosen and cut stand alone.
Quiet. Silent.
He plays his game.
Like you.
Be the way you are. No matter what happens, don't be like me.
Okay?
It's your money. Keep it.
Keep it as a loan.
- I will repay the loan. - Give me pocket money.
Shall I show you magic?
It would have broken.
Look.
See.
That's why I used to wonder that my coins get over
but the piggybank doesn't break.
You have grown up. Think big.
Don't tell papa.
- Will you strangulate me? - I am adjusting your tie.
It's tight.
- It's a tie. - Go and click the photo.
- Yes. I am going. - Go.
Yes.
Wait. Wait. Tie...
Let me adjust your hair.
- Do I look good? - Yes.
Now you are looking good.
My darling son.
Yes. Now click his photo.
Shall I click it now? - Yes.
One.
Two.
Three.
Why are you grumpy, son? Smile a little.
- Once more. - Yes.
19. 20. Cheese.
Great!
- You have clicked it so nicely. - Yes. I click nice photos.
Click our photo too.
Click a happy family photo.
Or else I won't pay you for the negative. Let me tell you.
Who makes negative nowadays, uncle?
Yes. I will deduct it from the positive.
Come on. I will click it.
Come. Come on.
Get up, son. Move the chair.
Come, Annu.
Everybody stand together.
Brother.
Let's click a nice photo of the family.
One. Two. Three.
Annu, stand next to your father.
Yes. It will look nice. Yes.
Come here.
You go there.
Come closer.
Come on. Everybody smile a little. It's a happy occasion.
I will click it again.
Photo of a happy family moment.
You will have to bridge the gap.
You are standing far away from your father.
Little.
Come on. Let's try it again.
Oh man! It's not good. Something is wrong.
Come on.
Enough. Come on.
Give a nice smile.
Come on.
19. 20. Cheese.
'Whenever something changes in the house'
'the family's grocery also changes.'
'Like whether Mr. Mishra family's grocery'
'includes flour, lentil, sugar, salt or not.'
'But Bournvita will definitely be included.'
'Almond might also be included.'
'And yes, almond is a beginning.'
'It's the beginning of connecting a middle-class family's'
'two-wheeler life with another two wheels of aspirations.'
'It's the beginning of parents' old, languid shade to get new wings.'
'Because sometimes the end is also a beginning.'

Yes. That's the one.

He must have copied.
