Tanu?
Coming, Mom.
Open this jar for me?
-My hands are slippery with oil. -Wait.
Yes.
-Don't give me too much. -Just eat, will you?
When is Dad coming from Chandigarh? It'll take a week more.
Do you remember Pura Sir?
He's taking a lot of time with paperwork.
What kind of surname is Pura? I've heard of Puri.
You've heard of it now.
But are all the documents there?
Tanu, your dad has to run around a lot over there.
I feel like it's far more hectic to sell a house than to buy one.
Well, at least the loan is done with, finally, right?
One more poori?
Just eat.
Give it. It's delicious.
I'm making puri after so long.
And I'm eating chole puri after so many years.
Why don't you eat properly?
That's just how much I eat.
No! I know your appetite has reduced.
This is how much I eat, mom!
When do we start packing?
It's the last thing we'll do.
There's such a nice asafoetida flavor. It's so subtle.
Take some with you this time.
-You forget every time. -Yes, I do.
This is from the Agarwal place. He grinds it when it's fresh.
Thank you.
-Just get it here. -I'm going, just a second. Last bite.
-Just get it. -I'll get it. This is my last bite.
-Listen. -I'm going!
Tanu, is the other box for your uncle?
No, Mom, it's for Bombay!
All right, but when will you meet with him?
What?
When will you meet with him?
Why do I need to meet with him?
I can't understand what you're saying.
Why do I need to meet with him?
-You won't meet with Shanky either? -I can't hear what you're saying.
-Will you meet Shanky? -I don't want to meet him, mom.
When will you be back again? Meet up with him.
I don't want to meet him, mom.
I can't do all these pleasantries.
Keep abusing them all the time
and suddenly becoming best friends in front of each other.
Don't be so loud. They can hear you. They live downstairs.
You're the one talking about it, not me.
Let me come out. We'll talk about it then.
I can't hear the water running.
Haven't you started bathing yet?
Just check if there's water or not? Should I switch on the motor?
Why are you keeping it there? Give it here.
It's all just trash. You're going to a new home.
-Will you take scraps with you? -Take.
So, ask me something about Bangalore?
Tell me. What happened?
It was great, Mom. I had a great time. The people were--
Give me that dusting cloth.
My professor, Geeta Iyer Ma'am?
Even she was very, very nice. And the campus was also so beautiful.
Tell me something.
Are you sure you don't want this book?
-Mom, I was telling you something. -I'm listening.
You're not listening. You've cut me twice already.
Just tell me if you don't want to listen. We'll talk about it when you have time.
Take this. Put it inside too.
Wait, I'll just take it. What ringtone is this? it's so loud!
It's my favourite song!
It's my favorite song.
Who is it?
Take this.
Tanu, look at this.
It's such a nice photo.
You were telling me about Bangalore?
I'll tell you when we're relaxing, Mom.
Close the window, Tanu.
I've soaked some rajma for the night.
That was a lovely thing to do.
-How about we make some raita too? -Yes.
How are both of you feeling?
About leaving the house?
I'm not sure.
There's a little bit of nervousness.
Mom, I've checked on their website.
They have a wonderful clubhouse. You'll find everything there.
Gym, pool, aerobics, yoga, zumba, everything.
Both of you should use it, please. Okay?
Just imagine your mother trying to do Zumba.
Hello.
No.
Dhruv is here. Yes.
No.
Let's meet later?
All right?
Bye.
Look, he is here.
You can talk to everybody while standing at the window here.
The fruit seller, the vegetable seller,
the gardener, the watchman, friends, everybody.
Think about the view there.
Everything will look so beautiful from the 14th floor.
And who will hear us from that height?
Do you want some sour berries?
-Eat some. They're in season. -No.
Mom, he still comes here?
Where would he go?
Times moves so slowly here, doesn't it?
I mean, at its own pace.
When you were young,
I used to think time went by so quickly.
And now I feel the same way.
Maybe back then...
things were changing all the time.
And now...
sometimes it feels like... As if time has just stopped.
At this one place.
We've also stopped.
But not really.
No matter how much you try, something is always changing...
even if it's a slow change.
You should sleep a little too.
I just felt like it, dude.
I called Sandeep and asked him if he wants to go.
He had some work at school too. So I thought, let's go and see the school.
-Let's find out how it's doing. -That's so nice Dhruv.
Fuck, that's quite a crowd, Kavu.
Uncle seems to be pretty popular, dude.
Did he say "Jai Maharashtra" after his speech?
Shut up. I'm pretty popular too, by the way.
I'm getting offers for marriage.
You're not trying to make me feel insecure, are you?
Because it won't work on me, and you know that.
Nobody else has a chance.
Who will make better pithla bhakri than you?
Exactly.
Fine, I'll just say it, Jai Maharashtra.
Kavu?
Uncle must be feeling so sad on the inside.
Listen, I'll go sit with him. I'll talk to you later, okay?
-Okay. Bye. -Bye.
Asshole. Could have let me talk to my sister-in-law.
Sorry, dude, I just cut the call. Right in front of you. Sorry, sorry.
You saw me and did this, didn't you, you jerk?
-Are you mad? -You're lying to me, dude.
Come. How are you? Robbed the school yet?
Yeah. Come on, let's go to the bathroom, okay?
It must still be the same, right?
Yeah, dude. Pee is pee, after all.
You're right.
Come on, dude. What are you doing?
Shit, man.
Dude, watch out this time.
I swear on my balls, this ball will land. Just watch.
Show.
See!
Amazing.
It's all fucking business.
We've been supplying uniforms to the school for 20 years,
so we know all about it.
-What happened? -They've just turned it into a business.
First it was the AC classroom business.
Right? And then after that, the AC buses trend started.
AC buses?
Now they're putting fucking air purifiers worth a lakh in every classroom.
-One lakh for a single one? -Yes.
Fucking hell.
But nothing happens. The school has its own bad habits.
Remember Ram Sir?
One of the boys fucking slapped him.
-Somebody slapped Ram Sir? -Yes.
That's what. What's the point of a school like that?
The students aren't progressing in life.
They're not able to develop, nor can they evolve themselves.
Just put an AC in every classroom.
Isn't that what makes a world-class school?
And the parents get their kicks from this. They want to put up photos on Facebook.
That my son studies in an AC toilet school.
It's just like the people in Bombay. It's the same scene with the houses there.
What's your rent now, by the way?
-Fifty five. -What?
Fifty five.
Fucking hell.
But it's great. Now you're earning money.
How much do you make?
Twenty five.
Fucking hell.
Why don't you take up a substitute teacher role in this school?
At least you'd get summer holidays. What do you say?
Take a trip to Nainital?
Our middle class Einstein. You should become Super 30.
-Shut up, dude. -Take this. Try dunking it.
What was the point of you going to ISA?
ISS.
-Yeah. It's the same. -It was great.
I had fun. Let it go, fucker. You won't get it.
I'm trying for the last time.
Oye! Fuck.
We had a classmate, right? She stayed here.
The bus would drop her off here and we'd go ahead.
There was somebody.
Uhoo? Uhoo.
Right? Uhoo. Remember now?
What kind of name is Uhoo?
Do you remember? She used to do skating in school.
Yes.
So whenever she'd complete a round, she used to make a sound.
-And so we made that her name. -What nonsense!
Fuck.
And here I was thinking how sorted you all are.
It's good that you told me that everybody is just a little fucked.
You're enjoying this, aren't you?
I have to fucking go to Bombay and figure out what I have to do and how.
But don't you guys talk about these things?
Who wants to meet each other alone?
When we meet up, it feels like... being on eggshells with each other.
And when we're together, we keep pulling each other's leg.
We're still trying to top each other in bullshitting.
But tell me something.
Why isn't Aman doing something about his hotel?
And why doesn't Ishan tell his father, he doesn't want to get into business?
Because to say something, you need to have your ass on fire for something.
And when there's a car cushioning your ass and a monthly vacation to travel around...
who's going to light a fire under their ass?
Let things be. Enjoy whatever God gives you.
Are you doing okay?
Best.
What's up?
-Will you say something? -Let it be.
You tell me. Your house is getting sold.
Aren't you feeling something about it?
Dude, not even a little.
I don't know why.
I know why.
Your mind is occupied elsewhere.
Will you listen to some advice?
Get married and get it fucking over with.
What else is there in life?
He just keeps saying that. Nothing really happens.
He won't be elected next time, I don't think.
Modi is Modi.
Hi.
Just felt like hearing your voice.
-What are you doing? -Nothing much, dude.
I was with Sandeep and the rest of my friends.
I just got home.
I'm a little tipsy too.
What about you? What's up?
I'm wearing my eighth grade pajamas.
They fit me exactly the way they used to. Clothes get so soft once they get old.
Yet we throw them away.
How was your dinner?
I took Mom and Dad to eat sushi. They hated it.
Actually, honestly, even I didn't like it. It wasn't that great.
So, listen... It'll bother me if I don't talk about it.
I wanted to speak to you about your 2.5.
Kavu, what if I give 3 for everything, dude?
Kavu, I can't do this right now. I've had a really long and weird day.
Don't do this, please.
You know you can talk to me. What happened?
-Are you not happy to be back? -It's nothing like that.
I don't want to talk about it now. Please understand.
Dhruv, will you stop talking to me like that?
Don't take such a rude tone with me.
Kavu, that 2.5 is also because of you.
Otherwise, it would have been negative.
I couldn't give Mom time today either.
All right, let it be. Listen...
I think I can see the Orion.
Can you see it?
Kavu, I'm in Delhi.
It's a big deal to just see the moon.
Listen, I'm going to keep. I'll talk to you later.
Good night.
Love you.
All right, good night.
-It's too hard. -No, it's good.
It's good, but it's too hard.
-It's fine. -Give me a good price.
My son is here. What will he think?
-Coriander? -Yes.
Put some coriander too.
Did your daughter get married yet?
-It's done. -Wow, you're a mother-in-law now.
Tell your daughter that I was asking about her.
-Okay. -All right? Give.
Oh, Lord.
-Dhruv, come. Let's buy fruit. -All right.
-Mom? -Yes?
What happened to the park that was near our house?
It's just rotting away.
They say Bangladeshi refugees live there now.
-What? Nonsense. -This is good.
-Hi. -Hi. How are you?
Hello.
-It used to be such a nice place, right? -Yes.
There used to be peacocks there, remember?
-Hello. -Hello. How are you?
-It's been so long. -My son is visiting.
-Hello. -Hello, my child.
Give me half a kilo of this.
So do you buy all the vegetables here?
No, but won't I buy fresh vegetables since you're here?
-Otherwise who would come so far? -Give me the bag.
You finally remembered. Hold this.
-Put it in. -That's just how our bodies run.
Yes, found it.
-Mom? -Yes?
Will you make me parathas tomorrow?
One with potatoes and onions, one with cauliflower.
It's been a long time since I had them.
If your hangover is over, then why not?
I can tell, silly. You were holding your head and having tea this morning.
I put fennel in the tea. Aren't you feeling better?
-I am, actually. -I saw it on YouTube.
-Really? -Yes.
I don't get hangovers.
Honestly, it's happening after many years. I don't know why.
Put this in.
Old age.
Pay him now.
-How much? -Forty rupees.
-Hurry up. We have to buy fruit too. -Coming.
Thank you, Tanu.
To both of you.
For the loan.
I've said it many times to Kavya, but...
What's there to thank us for, Mom?
He wouldn't have ever said it to you...
but Papa feels really strong...
because of you.
Talk to him sometime.
He's lonely.
Mom, how do you not get angry?
We had to sell the house because of him.
What will I get by being angry?
Just see.
I feel like you should talk to him.
You have one life.
Live it with love.
-Tanu. -Yes?
Take a 10-minute break. Take this.
Thank you.
-The Fancy guy gave you so many boxes? -Yes.
-I paid him 300 and he gave me these. -Oh, Lord.
-He gives them to us for free. -Mom, it's just a matter of 300 rupees.
-Yes, but you could have asked. -Just chill. It's just 300 rupees.
Why do you keep saying I should chill?
So Kapil, the other research assistant?
One minute. I just found something.
I'll be back in a second. Ten seconds.
Tanu.
Take this.
What is this, Mom?
It's your grandmother's.
I got it for my wedding.
Give it to Kavya.
I mean, your turn has come now.
Have you gone mad?
How long will you keep forcing things on me?
-Tanu, listen... -No, what?
There's always some kind of pressure. First my studies, then the loan, now this.
-So what? -Don't I have my own life?
You both have me squashed down.
-Tanu, calm down. -Why should I calm down?
And it's panda, not "panda."
Why didn't you teach the right thing in school?
It's always bad advice. Get married?
What's the point of this brain if you were always going to give bad advice?
-Both of you can go to hell. -What did I say to you, huh?
What the hell are you angry about?
I'm just giving it, not forcing you into anything.
You talk nicely to your friends and partner, and if we say anything, then...
How is it fair?
Attention please train with destination to IIT having 6 coaches,
is going to enter platform number two. Thank you for your attention...
Put some extra mayo.
Is it done?
Make it two plates.
Tell me how much.
It's settled.
Did he ask you for money? No, he didn't ask for it.
I have a running account.
That's great, dude.
You have a running account with everybody?
-Who'll pay for things every day? -You do this every day?
It is every day.
Do you remember when Dad and Uncle caught us here?
They were drinking booze here secretly. And we were drinking lime soda. Remember?
I'm fucking trying to forget, and you're reminding me.
I've fucking become what I didn't want to be.
You're doing great. You got out of here.
How's your girlfriend?
She's good.
I'm talking about marriage.
-I don't have any plans for marriage, bro. -Why?
I just don't.
-What about you? -I'm ready, bro.
Just need to find a girl.
Everybody is married, so, what else to do?
Just fucking do it and be over with it. Right? Things should keep moving.
The park we used to go in our childhood, is it this side or...?
-Straight ahead. -It's there, right?
It's a 10-minute walk.
Do you speak to the other cousins?
The WhatsApp group is deserted.
There's just Rohit.
He keeps putting up fake news.
Every day, with full conviction.
-Don't you remember the last one? -What was it?
A yeti found in Patparganj.
I was like, people don't have water in their homes, and you're seeing the yeti?
Yeti.
Will you come home?
-No, dude. -Come on.
I don't feel like it, Shanky.
Why?
-Ever since Uncle did that... -Let it go.
Why should I let it go, brother?
-Isn't there such a thing as timing? -Desperate times don't have timing.
And we were in deep shit too.
Daddy supported Uncle so much.
-Did he, or didn't he? -He definitely has.
So shouldn't we move on?
But you won't kick us when we're down, right?
Nobody's kicking anybody, okay?
There's just a little misunderstanding. Everybody became selfish.
Everybody's trying to make things okay.
What can I say to you, dude?
You call Uncle and Aunt maybe once a week, at best.
I talk to them more than you do.
You don't know anything.
What is there to not know here?
The thing to know is that there's been a fight happening at home
for the past six months.
Everybody is trying to fix it now that the house is being sold.
But it's not a shop that you can shut and open.
And you're in Bangalore, which is great for you.
Chilling at Infosys.
-ISS. -Wherever it is.
The point is that you have no idea what's happening outside your office.
Do you eat fish?
Mix some tamarind pulp in water.
Okay.
-Is that why it was tangy? -Yes.
It tastes nice in non vegetarian food,
and chicken absorbs the flavor really well.
Should I put in some chaat masala? It'll taste nice.
I'll get it.
I'm sorry, Mom.
I overreacted.
It's all right.
It happens.
That's what, Tanu...
Sometimes we just don't realize what's good for our kids and what isn't.
We were learning too... and doing what was happening around us.
Maybe we're all making mistakes,
and none of us can tell.
But yes,
we could have made better decisions for certain things.
Academics, extracurriculars, school and just about everything else.
But we did the best that we could.
Is there something better than best?
There must be something.
But, then, either we didn't have the sense...
or we just didn't put in the effort.
Sorry.
And yes...
we don't know how to pronounce things.
Whether it's panda or "panda"...
If you know, then just tell us.
Sorry.
Don't you feel bad about leaving the house?
Mom, I just can't relate to it.
I've been away for so long...
that I don't know what home means anymore.
Is it the balcony in Bombay or Geeta Ma'am's office?
I don't know and I can't understand.
Do you relate to us?
You forgot to get the spice. Wait. I'll get it.
Oh, Lord.
I feel like all the jars in this house are jammed.
Okay?
-Take care of yourself. -And you do the same.
Listen, I put two extra parathas in your bag.
Eat them when you get home.
-All right, then. -You should leave or you'll be late.
Go.
Love you, Mom.
I love you too, son.
Safe flight, huh?
Go back happily and work with happiness, okay?
Okay?
Don't worry about anything else.
We are here for you.
