Yes, Lucky.
Hey!
People will start coming from 2 o'clock. I am really tense.
Did you send the lawn mowing machine?
Send it. Mr. Prinsu wants the lawn mowed.
Yes.
It's not generator. It's papa.
Yes.
'Laddu' (Sweet balls),
Pamphlet, Mattress, Tent, Chairs. Everything should be ready on time.
Yes. Keep a few dustbins too.
A few people will come in the morning with brooms to get their photo clicked.
Let them click it.
And... yes. Remember one thing.
If you have to carry chairs today, don't feel humiliated. Carry it.
I will get gas agency only if the function is successful.
Yes.
We will see the rest.
Okay.
'Hello. This is Ravish Kumar.'
'What's being shown on news channels'
'has become a topic of discussion.'
'And its result hasn't been declared.'
'There is dejection.'
'Today the case was heard in the Supreme Court.'
'Regarding the same...'
My dear son.
If you had switched off the bulb before sunrise
we would have saved 40 watts.
Papa, last night I dozed off while studying.
Yes. People are competing with the world. And you are competing with horses.
Horses sleep while standing. And you sleep while studying.
Papa, it's so quiet at night.
You can hear crickets chirping.
If you listen carefully
it sounds musical.
It sounds like someone is whistling inside a pipe.
Papa, as long as crickets chirp
I enjoy studying.
When crickets stop chirping, I doze off.
I see.
Crickets' chirping sounds like whistling to you.
I am sure jackal's howl is music to your ears.
Do you think you are A.R. Rahman?
Papa, he is a great musician.
Yes. He composes music.
And you are duping your father.
Move your legs.
His board exam is starting from tomorrow.
- Did you tell anyone? - What?
I was going to tell you.
When?
It was on my mind. I was going to tell you.
Yes. Did it slip from your mind?
It's algebra paper, papa.
Is that so? Are you prepared?
Yes. I am prepared.
It doesn't seem so.
Yes. Tell me.
No. If Aman Mishra kept 40 watt bulb on in the courtyard for two hours
for how many days will Aman Mishra's father Santosh Mishra be morose?
Yes. Tell me.
- What do you mean? - You should know the meaning.
'Let's move on to sports news.'
'India and Pakistan's world cup match'
- 'will begin at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.' - Oh man!
The TV has turned into a radio. When will you get it repaired?
How will I watch India and Pakistan's match?
Papa, I have made my arrangement.
Only yours?
Not just mine. But the entire locality's.
- Where? - Mr. Prinsu's house.
The match will be shown on big screen.
Big screen?
You mean, like what Shahrukh Khan did in 'Swadesh' movie.
So there will be people on the other side too.
No. Only on one side.
The land on the other side is under dispute.
Mr. Prinsu needs everybody's vote.
He won't let anybody sit on the other side.
How big is the screen?
Are you thinking of watching it?
Are you mad?
I have my exams tomorrow.
I won't come even if you take me along.
What all things students do for board exams?
Makrant is nervous since three days.
He makes 'Shivlinga' 101 times before he starts studying.
It's good you are going out to watch the match, brother Annu.
Had the TV been working, both of you would have disturbed me.
Mom!
Today I will do revision the whole day.
- I won't move. - Okay, son.
- Papa. - Yes.
I will understand each and every formula.
Whatever I don't understand
- I will memorize it. - Well done, son.
- Brother Annu. - Shut up.
- Yes, Lucky. - Listen.
Our math sir has said that the one who does the best revision
will come first.
Mom, give me milk.
I cannot concentrate if I drink tea.
'All students in India are looking for that person'
'who sets board exam's time table after consuming cannabis.'
'Actually, he upsets the future of those students'
'who are unable to understand'
'whether to study the match or watch the studies.'
'I am sorry. Whether to watch the match or study.'
'He is a person who doesn't like sports.'
'That's why he doesn't like cricket.'
'And he suffers from inferiority complex.'
'That's why he doesn't like children.'
'He is someone who inspires tales'
'of cricket match scheduled during exams.'
'Yes.'
'Not stories, but tales.'
What's going on?
Papa, I was doing calculation.
What are you cooking? The aroma is wonderful.
- Annu's mom. - Oh man!
Did your cooking gas get over?
There is no whiff of aroma.
Where is the odour coming from?
I see! It's you!
- How are you? - Fine.
Annu's papa, today Afridi is going to bat for India, isn't he?
Firstly, Afridi is from Pakistan.
- Secondly, he is not a batsman. - Then what does he do?
Politics.
He is going to be the next prime minister of Pakistan.
I see. A batsman eventually becomes a prime minister.
Yes. Absolutely right.
That means, our prime minister must have also been a batsman.
No. He was a fielder.
What happened?
Did a cat cross your path?
Where are you going?
To Lahore. To meet Afridi's mom.
Poor woman is waiting since last night for Bittu's mom to come
and grind coriander chutney on mortar and pestle.
Everybody will eat it with kebabs.
Aman.
Afridi is a fast bowler, isn't he?
Yes, aunt. Faster than you.
Your TV is not working. How will you watch the match?
No. Annu is going to get it repaired.
Your dowry TV won't get repaired.
A junk dealer also won't buy it.
Don't feel dejected.
Bittu's papa has bought a new DVD TV.
- Aunt, it's LED. - I know.
But Bittu's papa has bought a DVD TV.
If you want, you can come and see.
Why will I come?
Yes. You have your board exams.
You have to study.
By the way, Annu had also studied a lot.
Yes.
But Aman is working hard. He will fare well.
Like Annu.
I got it for you. It's sugar free jaggery.
Why are you fluttering like curtain?
Nonsense!
It's Harish Malhotra's designer sari.
Bittu's papa bought it online.
It looks like curtain to me.
It looks like curtain.
No.
I had ironed it. How can it look like curtain?
I think I will have to sprinkle water while ironing it.
I will leave. Do come to watch the match.
Annu's papa, do come to watch the match.
How come...
I will give it to the laundryman. He charges only Rs.2.
She has left.
Forget her.
Tell me.
Can you make arrangement for me at Prinsu's place?
I have taken half day leave from office.
Yes. You can come. The more the merrier.
As it is, Mr. Prinsu likes crowd.
Why?
Don't you know?
- What? - Hey! Sushma.
What are you saying?
Mr. Prinsu's crush Sushma.
When Sushma was young, she was searching for poetry.
Mr. Prinsu turned out to be an essay.
- Then? - To impress Sushma
he told small time poets to write poetry.
And he told Sushma that he has written it.
Papa, once everybody was seated in the canteen.
Sushma asked him.
- What? - The poem's meaning.
- Then? - He got unnerved. He started crying.
- Papa, Sushma taught him a nice lesson. - Oh, my...
She removed her sandal and hit him 7 times.
4 times on the right cheek and 3 times on the left cheek.
Why did she hit him only thrice on the left cheek?
Because her sandal broke.
Papa, since that day Mr. Prinsu has become very lonely.
- That's why he likes crowd. - Are you crowd?
A crowd will come to watch the match today.
Let me know if you want to come.
Fine. I will also become a part of the crowd today.
- Okay. Tell me something. - Yes.
Have you made arrangement for power cut?
Mr. Prinsu has four horses and a four horsepower inverter.
- Great! - You be there on time.
It's called generator. And not inverter.
Shall I show you? Focus on your board.
He is not interested in studies. I will go see.
- Don't fight with him. - No.
Your ears have become very sharp. You will be beaten badly.
Here.
Shall I iron it?
Do you want to iron it or impress me?
I am your younger brother.
This is the least I can do for you.
Fine. My slippers are here. Clean it.
Quickly.
Keep it on cotton. Or else it will get burnt.
Fine. I will let you know the scores.
You will be taken care of.
Listen.
Do your revision. Or else I will iron you.
I have done it twice since morning.
Do it twice more.
Have you done a favor on me?
Answer the call.
Give me. Give me.
Yes, Lucky.
Okay, listen. Papa is also coming to see the match.
He is not coming to watch 'Ramleela'. That he will sit behind.
Papa will sit in front row, next to Mr. Prinsu.
Yes.
No. Aman is not coming.
What do you mean by why? He has got his board exams.
If he fails, people will say that Annu's brother has failed.
Yes.
Yes. Completely
I am ironing my clothes. I am leaving, bro.
You reach there.
Fine. See you in half an hour.
Hang up. How will I iron it otherwise?
Hang up.
[indistinct cricket commentary]
"Chance! Chance! Chance! Chance!"
"Chance! Chance!"
What happened?
You are unable to study when there is a match, right?
Seems like Virat has consumed almond milk today.
He has hit six thrice.
What? That means, India will win.
How can it win?
"Mauka Mauka" ad is playing after every over.
All Pakistani players are ready with crackers to burst.
They must be bursting crackers in the past.
Now they break their TV.
When they lose, they scream.
O bro, come and hit me. Hit me.
What are you doing?
Another six.
I think India will win today.
Sachin! Sachin!
- Sachin! - Sachin has retired.
Nonsense.
"Chance! Chance! Chance! Chance!"
'Capricious mind. Very, very random.'
'It's bound to wander.'
'Whose fault is it?'
'Nobody's.'
'The age of 16. First love.'
'First exam. First pressure.'
'It all happens at this age.'
'The kid's heart is unable to decode'
'whether his future is overshadowing his present'
'or his present is overshadowing his future.'
'In both the situations, it's the kid who suffers.'
'If he doesn't get good marks, he has to face abundant taunts.'
'If he gets good marks, he has to face abundant expectations.'
'These children will solve math paper somehow.'
'The real math will begin afterwards.'
'The math of life.'
I wasn't watching match.
What did you think? I am watching match.
I am doing calculation.
On the phone?
Yes. My calculator's battery has got over.
So I was doing it on the phone.
This is the first time I am hearing that calculator's battery also gets over.
What will you eat?
Anything.
Tell me properly.
I am not hungry, mom.
Fine. I am making cottage cheese for myself.
- What are you making? - Cottage cheese.
I will eat cottage cheese, mom.
'The second inning of the world cup match will begin soon.'
'India's score is 319 runs with the loss of three wickets.'
'It's time for a short break. After the break...'
'Stay with us for ball by ball coverage.'
'Time for a short break.'
Cold drink tastes so good with salt.
- It's chilled. - Yes.
Annu had put ice cubes in the cold drink.
It's bound to be chilled. Cheers.
Hey! Is the cold drink chilled?
- Great! - Lucky!
All those who are standing near Mr. Prinsu's car please come here.
Sit here. You also sit.
Take your selfie later. You are looking handsome.
Uncle, you also sit down. Blue shirt, sit down.
Sit. Everybody sit down.
Sit down. Yes.
Before the second inning of the match begins
whoever wants to move around can do so.
Last but not the least.
If anybody wants to leave the match midway
due to constipation, acidity, piles, venereal disease
or any other ailment can leave now. Okay?
- What happened, uncle Aatmaram? - Piles.
- Hey! - Subhash! Vishwas!
Take uncle to the hospital.
Get him treated quickly. We will take care of him.
Yes. We are there at your service. We will take care of you.
After two minutes you will get sweets, cold drink, everything.
We are at your service. We are there for you.
Let's say it once more.
Mr. Prinsu's election symbol is
- an animal that enters other's fields. - A bull.
- Enters where? - Fields.
- Whose? - Others.
Amazing! On this note everybody will be served sweets.
He is a smart chap.
'The celebrities of the whole world is watching this match...'
Are you enjoying, uncle?
I have arranged for special snacks for you. Hold on.
Waiter!
Take the tray.
Annu arranged for your seat to be next to Mr. Prinsu.
Lucky.
Yes. Coming.
Please eat it.
[indistinct cricket commentary]
- Sir. - Yes.
Annu uploaded it today.
It's an invitation for the match.
Isn't it awesome?
He said he has designed it.
He is a smart chap.
He is my son.
He has made such good arrangements. Isn't it?
Look. There is chicken, mutton and cottage cheese.
Fried snacks. Please eat.
Take care of this.
Pass it.
We will have to fulfill our promise.
There is 'Imarti' (Sweets). You will have to eat it. Bring it.
Here. Give him the pamphlet. Give him 'Imarti' quickly.
Keep two pieces of 'Imarti' here.
Take the pamphlet.
Mr. Prinsu's election symbol.
- An animal that enters other's fields. - A bull.
Amazing!
Whatever you do, you have to choose bull.
Manohar Singh alias Mr. Prinsu
is vying for the post of municipality chairman.
Ensure that he wins by majority votes.
Give me. Give it quickly.
Give him 'Imarti'.
We will send it quickly. Give two there.
Here. Here. And here.
We are serving 'Imarti'.
Afterwards all of you will get 'Laddu' (Sweet balls).
- We will serve 'Laddu' too. - Wow!
Priest, it seems you have come directly from the temple to watch the match.
Come on. Here.
'No bank asks for OTP or ATM pin from you.'
'Please be aware and be safe.'
What's going on?
Advertisement is going on.
What's going on in the match?
It isn't so cold.
I have fever.
That's why.
What are you doing?
I was getting up. I was getting up.
So get up.
Dropped my fried snack.
'Indian bowlers need to take wicket quickly. Because Pakistan...'
Hey, uncle!
Why are you standing there? Come here.
Come here. I will arrange it here.
Sit. Sit. Sit.
Is everything fine? Do you need anything?
- Do you need anything? - No.
Everything is fine here...
- Do you need anything, papa? - No. I am fine.
Mr. Prinsu, he is my papa.
He is Mr. Tyagi.
- Is everything fine, Lucky? - Yes. Everything is fine.
Do you need anything?
Do you see the guy sitting in the corner, wearing a blanket?
- That one? - Yes.
He seems suspicious.
He says he has fever.
Fever?
- Come. Let's cure him. - Come on.
'Pakistan's first wicket.'
Yeah!
Hey! Hey!
Put him down.
Why have you worn a blanket when it's so hot?
My doctor had told me. I have fever.
You don't have fever.
I checked your forehead.
Look here. Are you Balkaran's man?
Balkaran? Who is he?
Who is he? Check him. Check him. Check him.
Remove the blanket and see.
- He must be hiding a dagger. - Dagger? Not dagger. It's Crocin.
Who is roaming around like Agent Vinod?
Where is his head?
- Where is his head? - He seems to be Balkaran's man.
- Careful. Remove the blanket. - Remove the blanket.
- Pull it down. Pull it down.
- He seems to be Balkaran's man. - Pull it down. Pull it down.
- Catch him! Catch him! - Hey! Stop. Stop. Come here.
Go inside.
Aman?
In Balkaran's gang?
Go inside.
Go.
Play louder...
Annu! Annu!
Yes, Mr. Tyagi?
Everything else was fine.
Did anyone come from Balkaran's gang?
No. How can Balkaran's gang come here?
There was some tension. Mr. Prinsu was asking.
No, Mr. Tyagi. It's nothing like that. I have handled everything.
Don't worry. Tell Mr. Prinsu too.
- Sure? - Yes. Absolutely.
- Fine. Be alert. - Yes.
Absolutely.
Let's go.
Who won?
India. India.
They were trounced badly. Will you eat 'Jalebi' (Sweets)?
Give it to your younger son.
He was studying the whole day.
- He didn't even eat cottage cheese. - Don't worry.
Both your sons will be successful in life.
I saw what Annu is capable of.
- Is that so? - You simply sleep peacefully.
Has your fever subsided?
I came only to see the score.
And you tarnished my image over there. What about that?
I swear. I came only to see the score.
You don't know how much you will score tomorrow.
And you came there to see India's score.
Huh?
I am talking to you. Look here.
Do you know how hard students study for board exam?
Do you even know?
They practice for a month
so that their mind works properly at 10 o'clock on the exam day.
You have your exam tomorrow morning. And you are awake like an owl.
Wanted to see the score.
What would you have happened if you had missed the match?
What would have happened?
World Cup is played every four years.
But board exam comes only once in life, Aman Mishra.
- I hope you didn't tell papa. - I won't do that.
You cleaned my slippers in the morning.
I will beat you with this.
Idiot.
Let your board exam result be declared.
You keep prancing all over the house.
I will show you. You are wasting your time.
People were investing their time over there.
They were wasting their time.
Arranging chairs. Distributing sweets.
Offering water.
Shouting on the mike.
Standing like a bodyguard when you are a party worker.
- What is this if not waste of time? - Shall I show you?
Aman, I am talking to you. Come here.
I am here for my geometry box.
What happened?
Why are you not studying in your room?
I can't hear the crickets chirping over there.
'At the stroke of midnight hour when the world sleeps'
'Aman Mishra will awake to life and freedom.'
'A moment comes which comes'
'but definitely in the history of brotherhood'
'when the younger one steps out from his old life to new.'
'When an age ends and when the soul of a younger brother'
'long suppressed finds utterance.'
'If you didn't understand'
'don't say that Nehru is responsible for it.'
'Annu, you created a good impression.'
'Mr. Tyagi called just now. He said the program was awesome.'
'We are in Mr. Prinsu's good books now.'
'He said to come on 10th May. He will grant us license.'
'It will be great, bro.'
