'Despite living for 35 years in America,'
'whenever I come to India'
'I don't know why, but I feel very excited.'
'I feel as though I'm going back to my mother's loving embrace.'
'Today whether my India has something or not,'
'but she has one thing in abundance, and that's love.'
'The air! The buildings here echo with one word... Love!'
'One such building is the Taj Mahal.'
'My American friends, in the US, love means give and take.'
'But in India, it means to give, and to keep giving and giving!'
Unbelievable!
In America, love has its own limitations.
Its demands. Their love is a gesture of give and take.
But in India, it is not give and take.
In India it is give, give and give!
Unbelievable!
Yes! India has always been unbelievable.
Kishorilal!
And there comes another unbelievable person!
Suraj!
American!
How is your family?
My wife is very peeved with you.
This time I'll make it up to her.
You've become a big-wig now!
It's been ten years since you last came here!
The kids are dying to meet you and...
Hence I'm packing off this lot!
And I'll accompany you to Dehradun
and spend 3-4 days with the kids.
Roll up the glass, my friend. It's getting dusty inside.
We've grown up in this dust.
So how can we stop it from coming in?
I've missed the scent of this dust from India.
You haven't changed despite staying in America for 35 years!
You must be the first Indian to have earned
so much money and fame there.
You're coming to my house exactly after ten years!
We sold our old house at Dehradun
and built a house amidst our fields.
Narendra lives in the city. Narmada, mother and I live here.
Since it's vacation time, the house is always buzzing.
Kulwanti and her kids are here too.
And they're all awaiting you
as though some film star from Mumbai is coming down!
Dad!
- See! She found us right here.
She's Ganga, my daughter.
Dad!
Ganga? - Our little Kusum.
"The daughter goes to seek her father's blessings."
Dad!
- Dad!
Look who's here, dear. - Don't tell me. Let me guess!
You're the American uncle, dad's school mate.
25 years back... No!
35 years back, you had gone to the US with just 10 dollars.
And today you're the richest Indian there!
You have a huge family!
18 sons, 11 daughters,
9 daughters-in-law, 3 sisters and 3 brothers.
You have lots of cars and helicopters too!
And which is that city, dad, where... - Hollywood.
Yes! You live in Hollywood where the American movie stars live.
Enough! - Your bungalow is...
Won't you greet him and pay your respects? - Sorry!
I made a mistake!
Bless you dear!
My son! - Bless you!
I'll go and inform mom!
Tell her what? They are all charged up as it is!
What happened, Potla? - Come along, sir.
A royal welcome awaits you!
Ma'am!
- What happened, you fool?
Master is here with his American friend.
What are you saying? He's here already!
What! They are here! Today?
Sonali! Daksha! Get my scarf, will you?
Did you get only this place to sit?
Come in, Kishorilal! - Wow!
What a lovely farm-house!
Sonali! Daksha! My scarf! Hurry! Where were you?
Is that American here? - Kulwanti, Kishorilal is here.
Greetings, Kishorilal. - How are you?
I don't know...
Greetings!
I made a mistake! Greetings!
This is the height of shamelessness! Sonali!
Greetings, Kishorilal! - Greetings, Narmada!
You're amazing! You didn't tell me that...
So what? I'm no stranger.
True, but...
It's good that you came soon, Kishorilal! - Bless me, ma'am!
Narmada was expecting you tomorrow.
Anyway good that you're finally here!
I hear you're a rich man now!
I'm the same little boy for you.
I need your blessings even now. Bless me!
But how can I bless you son? - Why not?
There's cow-dung on my hands!
No problem I'll still bless you!
Mother!
Uncle.
They are Nitin, Sonali, Daksha, Dabboo.
Bless you, kids!
Dad, it's bad!
That American is being fussed over as though he's God!
Surajdev has a complex about foreign countries!
I know him for 10 years!
You are also a non-residential Indian.
Why don't they fuss over you?
They will, my dear! Wait and watch!
When, dad?
When Surajdev comes with a proposal for his daughter Ganga.
When will he do that? Years have passed.
Then fix it once and for all.
Fix it? Without deciding the dowry?
You're pretty silly!
I got this fool educated,
and made an eligible bachelor out of him, why exactly?
Then go and meet them.
A variety of gourmet dishes have been made for that American!
Really!
Wow! The food was delicious!
I used to return from Delhi and Mumbai.
But the fruits and vegetables of rural India are heavenly!
And why not?
Yes! After all, they are from Surajdev's fields!
This is Amirchand. My mother's sister-in-law's son!
Why don't you say a distant-cousin?
Sir, I am Amirchand. This is my brother, Garibchand,
and this is my wife, Bhagyashri.
AC, BC and GC.
He's an NRI too.
Which country do you come from?
Not now.
He used to live in Sri Lanka. - So what?
An Indian coming from Sri-Lanka is an NRI too!
But we are small people.
A variety of dishes are laid out for you.
We aren't even invited!
Amirchand come here! Your complaints will be heard here!
Greetings aunty! - Yes! How are you?
Uncle. Here is your evening medicine.
My medicine?
You are to take your dose every day at 7 pm and 9 am.
9 am, 7 pm... - Who told you?
Tell me. Who told you?
No one! I was ironing your overcoat,
a slip fell out from it where your eating habits had been mentioned.
It was signed "Arjun". - Arjun!
So he is behind this! - Who's Arjun brother?
He's my 18th son sister. Son of my distant sister.
He sees to my every personal need.
I call him my "Little Master".
He has penned a lovely song.
"I love India".
Have your dose first then go on about "I love India".
Aunty. - Yes?
Why is Ganga buttering that man so much?
Amirchand, you always reek of jealousy!
Here, have some water.
This uncle can take us to America.
Why will he?
If we impress him.
But how?
You ass! - Ass?
With our music! Our western music! - Oh yes!
***! He's a complete Indian American.
If you try to impress him, it will backfire!
Want to bet? - Done!
One moment.
Daboo. - What?
Do you remember our song's English notes? - Yes!
So the English notes of Sim Sim Pola on channel Potla!
"Hail Lord Ram."
"Hail Lord Krishna."
"Hail Lord Ram."
"Hail Lord Krishna."
"Krishna, Krishna"
"We want to go..." - Say it!
"America!"
"I've seen London."
"I've seen Paris."
"I've seen London, I've seen Paris and I've seen Japan."
"I've seen Michael, I've seen Elvis, I've seen everything."
"Nothing in this world matches the beauty of India."
"This world"
"is like a bride."
"The vermilion on the bride's forehead..."
"That is my India!"
"I love my India"
"This world."
"is like a bride."
"The vermilion on the bride's forehead..."
"That is my India."
"I love my India."
"That is my India."
"I love my India."
"When someone sings songs of love,"
"the monsoon comes in full fervour."
"The water was set on fire"
"when someone sings with passion."
"The mingling of seven notes, makes a garland of songs."
"We even call our God, the Flute Player."
"The Flute Player. - The Flute Player."
"That is my India."
"I love my India."
"That is my India."
"I love my India."
"The bird serenades us with its chirping."
"The cuckoo bird sings sweetly."
"Here we sing songs to express every emotion."
"The whole world sings our songs."
"Sing songs that have a whiff our land."
"I love India!"
"I love my India!"
"This is my India."
"My beloved is India."
"This world... - This world..."
"Is like a bride." - Is like a bride."
"This world is one bride, the vermilion on the bride's forehead."
"That is my India, I love my India."
"This is my India."
"My beloved is India."
"My deed is India."
"My religion is India."
"My India."
"Life is my India."
What are you saying?
I'm talking sense, Suraj.
I'm asking for your daughter's hand in marriage for my son Rajiv.
It's been three years since Rajiv's mother passed away.
You know Rajiv is my only son.
He was born and brought up in America.
He hasn't seen India as yet.
But he definitely knows what lies in the hearts
and thoughts of his Indian parents,
and he respects that.
I'm asking for your daughter's hand because
we NRIs need girls like her very much.
Because we have pushed our kids into English books
and western culture so much
that despite being so successful,
we feel like failures from within.
Observing all this,
girls like Ganga are our only hope.
Hence I've decided that Ganga will be my daughter-in-law.
And I'll take her to my house.
But only after seeking your permission with folded hands.
What nonsense!
The fact that Ganga will go into such a loving family
is very comforting.
But there's just one hitch.
We are village folks... - Enough!
Don't make such cheap remarks!
Don't you know me well?
Leave the rest for later.
I'll call you from America.
Never!
How can I send her abroad, when I've never sent her
to Delhi or Mumbai!
Never! - Try to understand, Narmada!
It's the values which are distant. Not countries!
In this age America's not far.
How times have changed!
You'll send your daughter to America!
Make her a foreigner?
Look, mom... - Oh, come on, mother!
Today the whole nation is westernised.
And hasn't Ganga graduated in English too? - Yes!
Look at our own kids, Dabboo, Potla!
24 hours they keep watching the music channels,
where Michael Jackson keeps dancing like a madman! Oh lord!
Why are you stubborn, Narmada? I've promised Kishorilal!
We had promised Amirchand for his son too!
No, we hadn't given any word to Amirchand.
We said we'd think about it, when Ganga completes her studies.
Moreover his son drinks heavily. Does anyone know that?
Then go and talk to him!
They are waiting for Ganga. - So let them!
My Ganga will marry Kishorilal's son. That's my final decision!
How can you decide by yourself?
What do you mean? - Think it over.
But I... - You should've heeded to our advice.
You are right... - But he never does.
How could you just say... - Think it over.
Look... - You should've taken some advice.
Enough!
Ganga will marry Kishorilal's son. That's final! Got it?
What the hell!
American uncle has gone,
but he left some snaps of his family and son Rajiv.
Rajiv's snap! Show me. - No!
Sorry, Ganga!
Your father himself doesn't know which is Rajiv's picture!
What! - Yes!
Because he forgot to ask and uncle forgot to tell!
Oh no! - Oh yes!
There is a lot of confusion. - True!
Show me then. I'll tell you.
Patience!
I'll show you Rajiv's family.
This is American uncle with his 2 brothers.
This is his sister-in-law. - Looks strict!
This is Padma, his sister. - She's fashionable!
And his mother, Krishna. - A wholesome mother.
Now the confusion sets in. There are 2 heroes!
You have to guess which one is meant for Ganga.
Quick! Show me!
I'll show you.
Here's the first hero.
It's the second one's turn.
Now you have to guess who her hero is!
Yes! Go ahead and guess.
Take your time, Ganga.
Shall I tell you? I think it's this one!
And I say that Ganga's hero is this one!
Ganga, you guess which of the two is Rajiv.
Shall I show you? - Yes! Please!
Come on! Tell us!
Great choice!
My respects. - Be happy.
Did you call me, Krishna?
Yes I did.
Is it true that you've asked Surajdev's daughter's
hand in marriage for Rajiv? - Yes.
I've also given him my word.
Good.
But Kishorilal, do you know that
you're trying to bring
India's Ganges to the concrete jungles of America?
I know it.
But what about our future generation? Our Indian culture?
Who will preserve it for us?
Ganga! It is bookish!
Rajiv will never agree to it.
Rajiv will never refuse me.
Impossible!
Kishorilal,
our sons don't like to even visit India.
How will they choose an Indian girl?
They are westernised,
and for them to marry Indian girls is impossible!
I'll make the impossible possible.
And my Arjun.
The little master.
"Someday, I'll meet her."
"But I don't know when that fortunate moment will arrive."
"My heart yearns, my heart is alone."
"Come out of my imagination and become my reality."
"My beloved."
Arjun Sagar is one of those upcoming singers from America,
Canada and UK
whose 'I love my India' song is at no. 1 on the Asian music chart.
Meet Arjun Sagar.
How did you come from India to America?
By Air-India!
Actually, I...
I was born in a town in UP called Mathura.
The town of Lord Krishna? - Yes, that's right.
But I'm not Krishna, I'm Arjun.
That too, of these modern times.
Actually, I was 10 years old, when my parents passed away.
My father was a musician, and my mother, a school teacher.
I was just living like an orphan, when Kishorilal
who was a distant cousin to my mother, came into my life.
Then?
Then I came to America and I worked in a garage for 3 years.
Plied a taxi for 4 years.
Then Kishorilal made me a manager in his own garage.
Today he's my father,
my deity, my everything!
When he came to know that I love singing and dancing,
he built a work-studio for me
where we do our work and rehearse as well.
"1, 2, 3, 4..."
"Take me up! Here we go!"
Any regrets in life? - No.
Any siblings? - No.
Any relations? - No.
A beloved? - Only in songs.
Ever loved anyone? - Never!
Why?
Never found one.
Who's your dream-girl?
You...
An Indian girl. Actually, I don't really know.
Because she's in my mind, in paintings.
I haven't met her.
How long have you been away from India?
5 years.
Do you miss India?
Oh yes! Very much!
Your future plans?
It's only to raise my father's house in Mathura
and build a music school.
Where poor kids can come, and... - Arjun, it's a call from Rajiv.
Excuse me.
Hello. Yes, Rajiv?
Arjun! Where are you?
Dad is looking for you. Go home now. Ok?
Has he called me now? - There's a problem, man!
He has chosen an Indian girl for me!
Hence he has called you. Alone. - Has he called me alone?
Yes! Just leave everything and be there. All right?
Okay. Don't worry. I'll meet him.
Hurry up, man! Else he'll parcel me to India!
Ok. - Arjun, one last question!
Sorry, I have to go.
It's an important question. Just one minute.
There's no one who is as important to me as Mr Kishorilal.
Not even me!
Arjun,
Rajiv has never gone to India and nor does he want to.
But I want him to go there.
To breathe the fragrance of the soil there.
To understand the values there.
And choose Ganga as his wife.
I want him to agree to this marriage proposal
of his own free will.
Arjun, think of this as my life's most important
and beautiful dream.
Only you can fulfil it.
Because Rajiv is your friend and... - Dad, you don't worry.
I promise you. Rajiv will agree to marry Ganga!
Arjun.
I'm really proud of you!
Thank you, dad!
Mr Joseph, give Monica leave for the next 5 days.
Yes, I understand. Take that as an order from me. Yes.
And...
It will be on salary. Ok? Yes!
Happy? - Thank you, sir.
Who sent these flowers? - That friend of yours.
I sent them, sir.
Thank you. - Come in.
You're welcome!
How do you like them? - They are beautiful
and I also know why you've sent them.
Advocating for dad, aren't you?
I know that I have to go to India with you.
Look around. Approve the girl and...
You know everything.
But dad did one good thing. - What?
He gave me the right to choose the girl.
As in? - It's my choice!
And that's the trick!
Come and see India once at least. You'll like it very much.
Paul's here!
Hey guys, I'm here! I'm also coming to India, right?
Of course! - I knew you'd join us too.
So I booked 3 tickets to Delhi.
By Air India! - Why Air India?
They say, to feel the air of India, fly Air India!
I love India! - Yes, man!
Sister Ganga! We've got news!
Sister Ganga! - What happened?
We've got news! - What news?
Who's to be your husband? - Who?
You won and Potla lost.
Yes I lost!
Here's your prince Rajiv's photo who's coming here on Monday
"Ganga!"
"Why are you going abroad"
"leaving behind your own country?"
"Why are you leaving us behind?"
"Ganga, where are you going"
"after breaking your promise?"
"Why are you leaving us behind?"
"Ganga, where are you going"
"breaking your promise? Why are you leaving us behind?"
"Beloved, my beloved..."
"I am where my beloved is."
"He made me leave my country."
"He called me abroad."
"He made me leave my country. He called me abroad."
"There was a message for me."
"I am where my beloved is."
"What do I do, oh God?"
"I am where my beloved is."
"It seems as if something is breaking in the heart."
"My childhood is left behind in my father's house."
"I am happy and sad too."
"Like a river that is thirsty."
"What do I do, oh God?"
"I am where my beloved is."
"A silver dish, a golden box."
"My mother-in-law has asked for it."
"Lipstick, kohl, powder, vermilion."
"My mother-in-law has asked for it."
"Ganga, where are you going"
"breaking your promise?"
"Why are you leaving us behind?"
"There I am."
Ganga, wake up!
What is it? - Ganga.
Wake up! Your prince is here!
What! He is here! - Come and see.
No! I don't want to!
Come on, have a look. He is not here, but his friend is.
What? What rubbish!
Rajiv is still in Delhi.
He has sent some Arjun to make arrangements.
What? - Hmmm.
Look, uncle! Try to understand what I'm saying.
Rajiv is fully American.
So he can't stand this heat and dust.
The stink! If something stinks, he'll go crazy!
I mean mad!
Do you know what will happen if he comes here?
He'll see this and faint!
He'll faint, come to his senses and fly off to LA!
No, son! We are with you.
Kishorilal told me everything last night!
Thank you very much, uncle!
So now do as I say.
First, get rid of these cows. - But these are buffalos.
Whatever. Send these goats someplace away. Right!
And does he bite? - No! Just barks.
Ok! You'll have to shift him because Rajiv is allergic to dogs.
Is this cot for the dog? - Thit cot...
It's our servant Ramu's cot.
No! He can't sleep here. Build a separate servant quarters for him.
Servants should have a department.
There should be a department for everything.
Uncle, you understand me? We must clean up this place fast!
This straw over here... - It's cow-dung son.
Ramu! Isn't that your name? Throw this out now!
Son, Kishorilal use to... - Not father! Talk about the son.
He can't stand all this, so it's vital that we clean up.
So everybody move it.
We don't have time. Move it.
'Move it. Move it.'
Pompous, isn't he?
Tells us to throw our dog out!
Asks Ramu to sleep outside. - Is he a human or a beast?
Don't worry, brother!
I'll turn this beast into a man pretty soon.
How? - I have a solution for it.
What will you do?
Idea! - What?
Welcome Mr Arjun!
Says our Ganga!
You are? - Daksha, a cousin.
Good. Sit down please.
And you? - Shake hands first.
Potla. - Cousin?
Brother. I'm the only brother. - Please stand here.
Where's Ganga? I can't see her.
Come here, Ganga.
Greetings!
Ganga!
Don't remove your glasses. I really am Ganga.
So you're the one dad has chosen for Rajiv?
Yes! When uncle saw me,
he said one won't find a better girl in the whole of India!
Right, Potla? - Yes!
Sure! Dad was right!
We won't find a girl like you in this whole world, let alone India!
Is there a telephone here?
Will you let me talk to Rajiv?
Yes! No! I'll certainly not do that.
I'll just talk to dad. Ok?
Come along! Not you! You sit right here.
You come with me! - Yes! Okay!
Book a call please. Yes, a lightning call will do.
Yes, I know it costs 8 times more. Charge 16 times more, even 32
but I must get the call through.
No! You don't understand, ma'am!
Whether the lines are working or not..
It's a matter of life and death! I'm telling you.
It's like this because...
Even if they are not, try and put this call...
What are you doing?
No! Not you! Excuse me, ma'am!
Go and sit there, please.
Let me talk to Rajiv.
I can't do that. Go and sit now.
Ms Daksha, make her sit there please.
Nitin! You stay here. I need protection.
I'm back, ma'am.
Hi ma'am! Have pity on me.
Hello, ma'am.
Sir. - Hello.
I told you, you won't get a line before 4 hours.
She's there... ma'am...
Is there any quiet place here? - Yes!
I want to be left alone. - Sure!
I don't want to be disturbed. - Sure!
Call me the moment dad calls! - Fine. Definitely.
Hello! It will come through! Thank you!
He's in a fix! - Poor chap!
Hello! Yes, put me through.
Kishorilal? How are you?
No, I didn't call you.
Yes! Arjun's here. No, Rajiv's coming tomorrow.
We are fine. How about you?
Hang on! I'll call her. Ganga!
Yes, dad? - Your call.
Who's calling? - It's an important call.
From? - Guess!
Tell me, dad! - You guess.
Uncle Kishorilal. - Really?
Let me talk to him. Give me!
Hello, uncle!
This is Ganga here. My respects.
I'm fine. How can I not remember you?
We miss you a lot.
We all sing your song, 'I love India'.
It's a super hit. Even grandma sings it!
Yes? And how are you?
Do you take your medicines on time?
Medicines!
Your little master is here. He's okay.
A bit pompous.
No, uncle. He's nice.
Okay, I'll give it to him. - Yes, tell me.
No, everything's fine.
That soap in Rajiv's room...
Keep it as I told you to. - Yes.
She is... - Ganga.
So that one? - A prank!
You may go. - Okay.
"It is morning in Udaipur." - Dad, you were right.
"It is morning in Udaipur."
"My sister is still too young."
"Smiling, her dad called her to the courtyard."
Excuse me!
I'm... My name is... - I know.
You're Arjun. Rajiv's friend.
You have come to see me and my home.
I'm sorry! My entry was not right.
I'm really very sorry!
All good people admit their error, and apologise at once.
I'll say that all the good people in this world
forgive those who apologise.
Your face shows that you've forgiven me.
Your smile says that we must become friends soon.
Your hand says that we should shake hands soon.
Right? - Yes!
A firm friendship? - Yes!
Absolutely? - Sure!
Potla! - Potla!
Why have you brought them here again?
Take these buffaloes out.
Potla this... Ganga...
Every relationship in this house is bound with a bond of love.
Whether it's between a human and an animal,
or a servant and his master.
We don't break old relationships to form new ones.
"My country is India."
"My beloved is India."
"I love my India!"
Do you have any shame or not?
Forgot the rules set here?
It seems as if he's not here to fix the engagement
but you're arranging it for him! Got it?
Look dear,
whatever Arjun is doing is for your own good.
Imagine that he's a film director
who is planning to get the hero and heroine together.
Rajiv is coming tomorrow.
In his honour, I've invited the city's elite.
So don't play any pranks tomorrow.
Am I not here to break the legs that you're standing on!
Aunty! How could you? Why will you?
You're talking as if you were never a child.
You too must've been naughty then.
Don't laugh! You'll grow old too.
Now everything's fine between us.
We know each other.
I just wish to explain one thing.
No matter what you think of me.
Rajiv's servant, his butler,
his friend, brother whatever!
But there's one thing.
A boy like Rajiv is hard to find in this whole world,
let alone in the US.
Rajiv is different from everyone.
Simple living! High thinking and amazing style!
Even today he'll come stylishly in a special car.
Our American Prince!
He's here! - Who?
Your dear prince from Delhi, who has got 4 flat tyres...
He is coming on a chariot!
Yes!
Let me see the prince too.
Why a buffalo cart!
If not a car then he should've hired a cab!
"I love my India!" - That's the house.
"That is my India." - See that one?
"I love my India!"
Welcome to India son-in-law!
Get some water Narmada! Put his feet inside properly.
Put your feet in the water.
What are you doing? You'll twist his neck!
Can't you be careful! Take a deep breath son.
Give him some ginger tea somebody!
"My beloved has come to my place."
Aunty all the guests are here.
Your father has invited so many people.
Rajiv must be nervous.
Here.
Rajiv, meet
the Asst. Police Commissioner of our area, Mr Yadav.
Hello sir. - Seek his blessings!
Bless you! It's all right.
So if you have a problem call me!
No problem sir!
I mean if anyone is to be pulled up.
I just jailed a minister. - Very good sir!
What's going on here? Let's see. - Nothing.
Come, have some sweets. - Yes!
He's a funny cop!
"My beloved has come to my place."
Rajiv! Pay your respects son. - Get up.
Not mine but his!
Bless you!
How are you son?
Cool sir. - Cool? Are you feeling cold with a coat on?
No. "Cool" means "fine, thank you". - Why thank me?
I didn't do a favour to you. It's all right.
Surajdev! - He's there brother.
Come dear! Let's go!
You're still in the habit of hitting.
In Punjab, they hit you and show their affection.
Sir! Here's the chair!
Paul, he's trying to say that you can have the chair to sit.
The chair. - No thank you so much!
He doesn't know Hindi you see. Say "Chair".
Go to hell! - Thank you!
Paul!
Father, someone's cast an evil eye on him.
Ever since he's here, his health has been bad. Please do something.
What's happening?
He's just warding off evil spirits. Try to understand.
He too has the same problem. Remedy for him too.
No! I'm...Thank you!
This is love from India! - Shall we sit down?
How is he? - Shall I tell you the truth?
He's like a prince!
Sweet.
By the way, where's Ganga?
I'll just check. - Ok!
What's wrong? Why the delay? Where's Ganga?
Getting ready! Dressing up in finery... There she comes!
Arjun! How do I look? - Wonderful!
Didn't I say that when I'm ready you'll gawk! - Sure!
Isn't she looking beautiful? - Sorry! She resembles an ape!
What!
Try to understand. Rajiv hates such heavy ornaments.
He's an American and likes simplicity.
But this is Indian simplicity!
No! I'll show you simplicity. Hold this! You come with me.
Take this off. - Take off!
This kohl, these flowers. And why so many gold ornaments?
Wow! Babe man!
Rajiv she's Ganga.
Greetings!
That's Daksha, and she's Sonali. - Hi!
What will you have? Tea or juice? - I'll prefer tea.
Will you have tea too?
Tea? - Yes! Tea of course!
How much sugar? - Just one spoon.
One.
Two more. - Two more? Two.
Okay, one more. - One more?
Do one thing, add the whole lot. - The whole lot?
Thank you! - Have this tea.
No! I'll have tea without sugar.
You're pretty smart!
I love India!
Rajiv. - Yes?
How did you find Ganga?
Let me sleep. My head is aching!
Okay then, shall I speak to her about myself?
Shut up and sleep ok?
Good night! - Good night!
You haven't told me how you found Rajiv?
You didn't tell me either. - Did you like him or not?
Liked him or not? - You tell me!
You tell me. - No, you first.
Tell me please! - You tell me.
Okay, I'll tell you.
I think you didn't like Rajiv at all.
When did I say that?
So! Do you like him? - Yes.
Dad it's bad! Surajdev called everyone, but us.
He got scared that you may spoil his daughter's chances.
I don't spoil chances, I stop them!
What if they get engaged? - Then?
We'll break it.
Surajdev, let fortune smile on me. Then I'll show you.
"I love my India." - Where are you going?
To give milk to Rajiv. - Give it here.
Ganga, go give this to Rajiv.
Me? - Yes!
Go give it, I said! Hurry up!
Why her and not me!
Arjun has said Ganga will give Rajiv milk today.
Arjun has said?
"This world is like a bride"
"This world is a bride, the vermilion on the bride's forehead."
"That is my India."
"I love my India."
In our country, a snake is not considered an animal but God.
You have your milk and sleep. Nothing will happen.
Amazing!
You? - I want to meet you.
Alone. - Why alone?
Well, won't it be better if we chat a bit?
So let's chat.
Not here.
Then where?
In those fields. Behind the windmill.
May I ask mom?
Can't you make your own decisions?
Nothing of that sort.
You wait here. I'll just be back.
Aunty. - What?
May I go in the fields with Rajiv?
In the fields?
Why ask me, you shameless girl! Ask your mother!
Did you hear that?
Your Rajiv wants to take Ganga in the fields,
behind the wind-mill!
Who wants to take her there?
He came here as a guest, mother.
And he wants to take the girl behind bushes right in front of us!
Kulwanti, will you shut up? - Okay, I'll shut up!
Let her go behind the wind-mill. It's very hot, isn't it?
Mother, please make her see sense. - Kulwanti.
Speak softly. - Why? I can't speak softly.
Are we thieves?
Girls don't roll in the hay before marriage!
If you think it's proper then send her!
You think you're very modern! Sending her to America!
What are you doing there? Come on in!
Congratulations!
Why is this crazy woman blowing up? I mean, what's the problem?
They're crazy! They are funny people!
My dear Rajiv, if you wanted to meet Ganga,
why talk of the fields?
What's wrong with the fields?
Look. In Indian culture,
before marriage, there are various rules and norms.
This is India. - Is this India?
And I love India!
'It's not a river if it doesn't have water.'
'It's not a breeze if it doesn't shake leaves.'
'And I say, it's not a marriage if there is no love story.'
Well said. Very well. - Thank you.
You do understand what I mean, right? - No!
Look, before Rajiv and Ganga get married,
it's very necessary that they fall in love. - Right.
And they'll fall in love only when they chat.
They will chat, only when they meet. Isn't it, ma'am?
Why should we mind if they meet?
You don't mind at all,
but yesterday, that scene which aunt created about the fields...
Look I'm going to be frank. Rajiv is born in America.
We know. - He'll just run away!
No! If you want, we can take all of them out tomorrow
on a sightseeing tour and show them the fort there. - Sure.
Aunt?
Why should I mind? My lips are sealed! - Hear that?
No, son! It'll be as you say. You shut up!
'When Arjun speaks, wise men should listen.'
'Don't leave broken hearts alone.'
'And don't bother those who are in love.'
Great! - Amazing!
Rajiv!
Rajiv! Take care!
'The one who always rode Mercedes, has started to ride a bicycle.'
'Look how he is making pretences to please his girl.'
Very well said.
But I'm no less either. You saw my artistry, didn't you?
The way, I convinced the elders that we'll go on a picnic!
This will give you a chance to talk to Rajiv.
He loves you very much! Sometimes I think
if he loves you so much now,
you can imagine how will he be later!
What is it, Ganga? Why are you staring at me?
May I ask you something? - Sure, go ahead!
I know that Rajiv is in love with me
only due to your efforts.
You are his friend and almost like a brother too.
But some relationship has been forged between you and me too.
A bond of implicit trust and friendship. Right?
Yes. What are you trying to say?
I want to ask you. Is Rajiv right for me?
Why this question after so many days?
He's a very nice boy!
He has hidden something from me.
Yesterday I was tidying his clothes and I found this.
It's not that he smokes but the fact that he hid it.
Arjun, if he has any more such vices, please tell me now.
So that I can decide properly.
Look, your advice can either make my life
or ruin it.
Ganga, you're totally mistaken!
This packet isn't Rajiv's. It's mine!
Promise? - Yes!
Actually, sometimes I do smoke.
But Rajiv and drinks and cigarettes? Never!
There must've been a lighter with this. Give it to me.
I'd rather you not smoke either!
A man smoking looks like a goon.
Shall I give it up? - Give it up!
There! Happy?
You're very bad!
Still? - No! You're nice.
Very nice! - Thank you!
Ganga!

Yes, dad. Rajiv has liked Ganga.
You're not saying anything, Rajiv.
Dad, I think Ganga should come to the US before marriage.
See their culture, the people there.
Right, dad, after all, it's the girl who'll live abroad,
not the boy.
It'll be nice if she comes with us to America for 1-2 months
and sees everything.
I'm happy to see you speak so maturely.
I'll talk to Surajdev.
Are you saying that we should send her alone to America?
Are you all right? - What's wrong with that?
Kishorilal is a friend. Can't she go to my friend's house?
Suraj.
Indian girls don't go away before marriage.
I too have decided that she won't go.
Correct!
Okay! Call off the engagement! I'll speak to Kishorilal.
Then what was the need to do all this then?
Why did you call Rajiv here?
Then what do we do? Become Americans?
Come in, Kishorilal!
Kishorilal, how can we send the girl
without a betrothal or a confirmed relationship?
Just think. We live in a small town.
What will people say?
They've already started gossiping.
Suppose she returns without marrying your son.
I've got a solution to it. - What?
We'll get Rajiv and Ganga engaged this week itself.
Then she can come with us,
after a month we'll get them married in America in style. Okay?
Tell me. You shouldn't have any objection now.
Why should we have any objection to an engagement? Right, dear?
So you agree! It's okay!
I say that you all come with us.
No, that's impossible. It's our harvest season.
None of us can make it.
If none of us can make it, my daughter can go instead.
America? No, I can't! How can you suggest it? - Go!
Yes, that'll be perfect.
If you stay with Ganga, she won't feel lonely.
Go, mom!
Okay. If you all insist, I'll go!
So it's all fixed now. The engagement will be on Monday.
Then Ganga's farewell.
On that note, give us sweets!
Yes, it'll be a farewell no doubt!
Who knows, when she'll visit India?
Ganga!
You're sitting all alone here?
What's this? You're getting engaged and you're crying?
I know. You don't wish to leave papa right?
I don't want to go anywhere! - Someday, you always have to.
All girls marry and go away one day.
And they leave their parents behind.
Forever.
Why are you crying now? No! Not correct!
You made me cry! - No! You did!
Come! Get up now!
The engagement and the farewell both are on Monday.
The invites will be sent today. - Invites! Must be Arjun's idea.
What! Is Kusum getting engaged to Rajiv?
That means with you? Never!
Did you hear that? This is entirely unfair!
The whole town knows that Ganga was to marry my son!
Indeed! - He has not only insulted me but this whole town!
That's a lie! Uncle had not promised anything. - Shut up!
Stop jumping will you? That foreigner is marrying Ganga.
You... - Excuse me sir.
Rajiv is no foreigner. He's the son of an Indian. Mr Kishorilal.
I'll show that Kishorilal...
How dare you!
Dad! It's bad!
First, they broke the engagement
and now they're beating my son! Help!
Oh God!
Dad, it's bad! - No Rajiv! No Arjun!
Please don't fight for my sake! - We'll have to decide Surajdev.
As in? I'm her father. I'll give her away where I want to.
How will you decide? Tell us. We'll decide today, right now!
Then come let's have a combat. The winner will take Ganga.
Agreed. Today either you'll take her or we will.
Good!
Even Lord Rama had to lift Lord Shiva's bow to win Sita.
So today whoever wins, shall be Ganga's groom!
This is too much!
Will my daughter's future will be decided by bouts?
Then admit that you're a cheat, and you sold yourself to an NRI.
Amirchand! Suraj is not a cheat, but you are!
And we'll give you an apt reply to it.
It's a good thing that the headman mentioned about lord Ram-Sita.
My son's shoulder is willing to carry any bow you wish for Ganga!
Tell me, which bow do you have?
Let me see how strong your son is!
I'm ready dad!
So Manuchand, what's your choice? Running, wrestling, boxing
"Kabaddi!"
"Kabaddi"? Done!
Okay. Right here right now!
What!
A Kabaddi match?
Yes! And the winner will be Ganga's groom!
Nonsense! - Go and see! Stop them!
No! This can't be possible!
Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
Kabaddi!
One minute.
Don't worry Suraj! We'll defeat them!
Brother Arjun defeat them!
Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
That's my son!
Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
Yes! - Watch the match!
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Yes! Yes! Come on Paul!
Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
What happened?
The American is out!
Oh God!
Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
That was bad!
Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
Oh God!
Are we winning or losing?
Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
Catch him! - Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
Come on Arjun! Touch it! - No!
Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
Come on Arjun!
Kabaddi! Kabaddi!
We've won!
"Don't search for virtues. They are all fake."
"Don't look for dark complexion. It could ruin your reputation."
"Don't look for a fair one. All will be floored."
"Look for a boy who is like Lord Krishna"
"Like Lord Krishna."
Come on, my dear.
Don't cry.
You'll say, take care of Ganga, and I'll say she's my daughter now.
So you have no right. - Right on.
Rajiv, Arjun hasn't shown up yet. - He's not coming with us.
Why? - He'll stay back a bit more.
As in?
As in here he comes. Ask him yourself.
Oh.
Sorry! I'm sorry! For Rajiv and you. - What's this?
You're not coming.
I've to go back to my village, Mathura.
Where my father's old house needs to be rebuilt as a music-school.
So, I have a lot of paperwork.
You didn't tell me this before.
Didn't get a chance to. Keep these.
What for? I'm going abroad for the first time.
I'll be very lonely. - Why?
There's dad, Rajiv, your aunt
and many others who'll take care of you.
But you won't be there!
You said you'd be there with me.
I agreed only because...
Look, my responsibility and work ends here.
Now your life and my life go different ways.
Okay?
Why are you saying that?
Because, like a responsible daughter-in-law,
you have to go abroad, live happily with everybody.
Don't give me a sermon. This isn't right! - Hurry up.
Hurry up, princess! Your plane will leave without you.
I can go alone! I don't need your help! - Okay.
I can take care of myself. - Okay, Arjun, bye!
Return soon! - Bye Rajiv! See you.
Bye, everyone. - Bye, Arjun. Take care.
Bye, dear! - Bye!
Okay, Suraj. Bye!
Crazy kid!
Excuse me! Are you Arjun Sagar? - Yes.
Air-India flight passenger has sent you this note. - Thank you!
You're welcome!
'Arjun, come soon.'
"My first day"
"in the USA..."
"On my way to a new place."
"A whole new world and a new place."
"So many questions on my mind."
"I'll find answers here of every kind!"
"There's a fascination of things to come."
"Can't slow down now, can't be done..."
Where is she? - You see, the one in white the dress.
There she is. Look over there.
The one in maroon dress.
That's Nita, my younger brother Sandy's wife.
Sandy?
Sandip actually, but he became Sandy after coming here.
"I'm finally here with my fantasy."
Friends, this is my would be daughter-in-law Ganga.
This is Kathy. She's Payal. - Hello!
Dad has brought a lovely girl. - But she looks dominating.
Why? Getting scared? - I'm not scared of anyone!
Sister, does everyone wear such clothes in this country?
You called me sister!
Do I look like a sister to you?
Excuse me. My name is Padma and people here call me "Paddy".
And this is your aunty Nita.
I told you about her. Say hello. - Greetings!
He is my youngest brother, Sandy.
"America... Fascinating America!"
Come on, Ganga, let's go dance! - Yes, go with them.
May I go? - Yes.
"America."
"America. - Levity is America."
"America... Fascinating America! - My first day in America!"
"It's living up to be! - America."
"America... - I'm finally here!"
Come, let's go there.
"This is where I find my destiny."
And that's Neil. - "Destiny!"
Get lost! You rascal!
Don't you have any shame that you're kissing her publicly?
Is this a way to meet a girl?
You shameless girl! How can you be so intimate with these men?
Forgot family norms? Come! Stay with me!
God! She's funny!
She's still young.
Why are you firing her? She's ours now. Come, my dear.
Sharon, please take care of her.
Come along.
This is Caroline, and this is Priya. - Hi!
That was quite a scene.
What can I say, Mr Mitra?
Kishorilal went to India and got trash for us!
Yes! Of course!
Anyway, Mr Mitra! - It was amazing.
I love it. Is this from India?
Excuse me!
It's so different.
Ganga, my dear.
Come and sit near me.
Greetings.
Isn't she beautiful?
You must've not had any breakfast since morning.
You must be famished!
Peter! Get some food for us please.
Today I'll eat with her.
"Ganga!"
"Why are you going abroad"
My dear Ganga.
"leaving behind your own country?"
Bless you!
What were you looking at? A new country?
It's either very quiet here, or it's most vociferous.
Man is either alone, or he's in a crowd.
Last night at the party in your honour,
I saw the way Nita humiliated you.
But my aunt was at fault too.
My dear, in the family of a saintly man like Kishorilal,
half are Indians, and half are westerners.
Hence a pure soul like you
will always be shown resentment. You'll have to endure it.
That will be your acid test.
Mother says a woman is tested throughout her life!
That's right. You've caught on!
My blessings are with you.
Krishna,
what are you whispering to my daughter?
Look, she's managing the household duties already.
No! She won't do any household chores!
She has to tour America and Canada as yet.
Right, my dear?
I have a good news for you, dear.
Tomorrow, in honour of our new ambassador,
all the Indian VIPs of the city are being invited.
They'll honour you and Rajiv too.
Dad, hasn't Arjun come back yet? - He's a fool!
I don't know. He should be here in a couple of days.
What kind of clothes should I wear tomorrow?
Indian!
Thank you!
After this, we have to welcome one more person.
We welcome Ganga who has come here for the first time.
The would-be daughter-in-law of Kishorilal, Miss Kusum Ganga
brings with her India's culture. A symbol of our heritage.
I now request her
to come here and sing a song for us.
Your would-be daughter-in-law is very beautiful.
Thank you!
Hello.
What shall I sing?
Dear, we'd all like to know how you feel after coming abroad.
"The land"
"where my beloved dwells"
"is where my heart is."
"Oh, how difficult it is"
"to adapt oneself here."
"It is hard to come abroad leaving one's homeland."
I love India!
But I don't know the full song. - Sing anyway!
Okay.
Arjun!
Arjun, you're back! - Ganga, relax!
Arjun!
What took you so long? I was having a tough time!
Aunty had one of her scenes. - What are you doing?
This isn't the time to chat. Everyone's looking at us. Go!
They want me to sing I love India song. - So sing.
You also sing with me.
No, I can't sing with you. Dad's getting angry. Go now.
What happened?
He's my second son. A nephew who's like a son.
No, I can't! Dad's angry. Go!
Okay! But we have to catch up! - Okay, we'll talk later, you go!
"The world is like a bride."
"This world is a bride and the vermilion adorns her forehead."
"That's my India. I love my India!"
"My land, India. My beloved is India!"
"The world is like a bride. - The world is like a bride."
"This world is one bride and the vermilion adorns her forehead."
"That's my India. I love my India!"
"India is in my deeds. India is in my religion."
"My land, India. My beloved is India!"
This is the city's biggest paper.
You too are the city's greatest prince. - Of course!
Keep it safe. We'll have it framed later. Okay? - Okay!
Are we going to Hollywood? - Yes, tomorrow morning.
Who else is going with you? - All of us.
Aunt Nita too? - Aunt Nita is not going.
Happy? - Yes.
And Arjun? - He's not coming either.
I spoke to him yesterday and he said
that he won't be able to make it.
Why not? - Ask him yourself.
You know him well too.
Now hurry up and give me a kiss.
I have to leave for the office. Come on!
No! - Come on!
It's okay! Come on! - Rajiv...
Wow! What delicious 'paratha'!
I'm in a hurry, aunt. Peter!
Honestly, you won't find such 'parathas' even in India.
Aunt! - Yes!
Doesn't Arjun live in this house?
Arjun! This is the KL house, not a servant quarter.
You mean Arjun is a servant here.
More or less. My brother-in-law did quite a lot for him.
He tends to our cars in our garage and runs a studio above it.
Have some.
Then where does he eat? - In a hotel or some such place.
When he comes here, we feed him like we feed the poor.
To hell with Arjun! Have this, or else, it will get cold.
Krishna has sent these especially for you.
Cheenu, will you do me a favour? - Yes.
'Parathas'!
Thank you, Cheenu!
Kusum Ganga has sent you
this letter and the 'parathas' for us!
Let me eat them and you read the letter.
What?
Shut up!
It says, little master Arjun.
Don't show off.
Come with us quietly. That's father's order.
And I am also waiting for you.
I swear if someone wrote such things to me,
I'd go to hell with her! - Idiots!
She will be Rajiv's wife soon.
Future tense. She isn't yet!
See this!
What did you do with the paper? Lost it! Where?
I don't remember where I kept it!
I wrapped bread in it.
Bread! - Yes.
For Arjun. - Really? Damn!
Meaning you wrapped up my respect along with the bread!
I must say that you are a typical Indian ***!
An illiterate!
Rajiv!
You said this today. Don't ever repeat it!
Why don't you understand that it was the only copy that I had!
But the original copy is with me!
Ganga! Didn't you tell Rajiv
that when you sent me bread, you wrote me a letter,
which said that
I take this photograph and frame it beautifully.
You forget so much!
Look! See how I've put it in a beautiful frame.
"America!"
"Fascinating America!"
"America! America!"
"America! America! Levity is America!"
"America! America! Fascinating America!"
"It's living up to be!"
"I'm finally here with my fantasy."
"This is my destiny!"
"America! America!"
It was truly nice, you know!
Excuse me! - See what Rajiv's doing? Smoking a cigarette!
You said he never smokes. - Ganga! This is America.
We're in a disco. It's fashionable to smoke here.
90% of the people here are smoking.
So Rajiv is among those 90%. You lied to me didn't you?
Hi! - Hi!
I'm asking you something! Who was she?
She was saying hi!
We're going to start what you all must be waiting for!
The game made for each other.
He's saying that the boy and the girl
who win this contest will have to give a number,
and if that matches their number then they'll get the
"Made in Heaven Award".
Why's that?
According to them,
the pair made in this world
is not as great as the pair made in heaven!
Wow! That's great!
Shall we go to Rajiv? - Want to play?
Yes! - Come on!
All right! - Rajiv.
Rajiv. - Meet my college friends Kelly, Ross.
Hello! - Hi! How do you do?
Ganga, my fiancée. - Hello!
Let's take part in the contest. - It's a kid's game honey!
What will I do in it? Make Arjun your partner.
No! I won't go with Arjun. - Why not?
She won't go and she shouldn't. I'll dance with Kelly!
May I have a dance with you please? - Sure!
I'm willing to go with you. - Excuse me!
Come on.
Come on! Pick up the number of your choice.
No. 4! - 7!
47!
Oh no!
Yes! Number please.
3! - 3!
Your turn. - 6!
6... 36!
Congratulations!
Thank you.
Yippee!
For you! - For me?
Yes! - Thank you!
Nobody can refuse me a drink! You did. You son of a gun!
Shut up! You shut up!
I can buy this disco! Right now!
It's okay. All right relax.
You lay off!
I can buy everything. Everything!
No one can stop me! - Get him out of here!
I'm not drunk! Let go of me!
Rajiv! - I'm Rajiv Laal!
Let him go! - I won't spare him!
Don't act funny? - Acting funny with me!
This is a routine!
He drinks and gets knocked out. And Arjun takes him home.
How are you, dear? - Fine.
How's Rajiv? - Nice.
Arjun? - Very nice!
Are you happy abroad?
I don't know.
Here's everything and yet nothing.
Yes! I have invited 1,000 VIPs from all over the world.
Book all the 5-star hotels of the city!
The Americans will never forget my son's marriage.
What are all these papers? Nancy!
Don't you clean your master's room?
He does not allow anyone to enter.
What dirty magazines!
What are you looking at?
Aunt! What's all this?
Oh that!
She's Rajiv's ex-girlfriend, Kelly.
Kelly loved Rajiv and he too loved her very much.
But he never mentioned this.
Is this also something one mentions?
Girlfriends are a status symbol of the rich!
Consider yourself lucky that
Rajiv chose you and not Kelly!
The daughter-in-law of Kishorilal
who's worth 550 million dollars, will be you, not Kelly!
Don't cry! There's no point in tears!
My doll, this is America!
Rajiv is an American,
and you'll have to stay with an American.
Rajiv! Was Kelly your girlfriend?
Yes. - Did you love her very much?
Yes.
Even wanted to marry her?
Yes.
Did you and Kelly... I mean...
Were you physically involved with her?
In America, such relationships occur. They just happen.
Why make such a big issue out of it?
Kelly was my past and you're my present!
So relax. Okay?
Hello?
Kelly! It's Kelly!
You won't believe it, but we were just talking about you. Honest!
Going to Australia? Tonight?
Want to meet me?
Then come to my office. We'll go together for dinner.
Okay. Bye!
Kelly learnt Hindi when we were dating.
It's essential that I go, else Kelly will be offended.
I'll be coming in late, so don't wait up!
Okay! Bye, sweetheart!
Ganga, I brought this...
Okay. I'm sorry.
I entered at the wrong time.
I'll come by later.
Wait!
Everything's gone haywire
and it's all your fault!
You lied through your teeth! Rajiv's like this and that.
This is the real Rajiv!
Look, all these are petty things.
You'll have to learn to adjust to them.
Petty things! You call this petty!
Is this a petty thing?
Look, I don't want jilted palaces!
I just want love from a man.
Understand? Petty indeed!
But everybody here loves you.
No! I don't want such love.
What kind of love do you want?
Ask yourself that! The kind of love you give others.
That's the kind of love I want!
All take me to be an innocent photo
and have trapped me in a golden frame.
You want me to keep quiet
and become a part of this synthetic decor!
Had I come with this dream to this foreign land?
Everything will be fine.
I'll talk to Rajiv tomorrow.
But Ganga you too will have to deal with this patiently.
I'll go now.
Arjun!
You won't leave me too, will you?
She's not that kind of a girl.
Then what kind of a girl is she? - Don't get me wrong.
But girls from India, especially those from rural areas,
can't bear this cultural shock.
If you want to change her then go slow about it.
After marriage... - You're my friend. Okay?
You're my friend and Ganga's my wife.
Let a friend stay in his limits and a wife in hers.
It'll be better if you don't interfere in our personal matters.
Your role as a friend ends here. Now let me play my role.
Okay?
Whether you accept it or not, you have fallen in love.
No! - Yes!
No! Yes! - No?
Well you have, haven't you?
I won't go to her house, nor will I meet her. Okay?
Okay. Let's see!
What! He'll never come here. - No! Never!
Even to meet me? - No!
Fine! Tell him that if he isn't bothered about me,
I don't care either!
You know, he really cares for you! - Cares, my foot!
If he really cared, he'd answer my calls.
You know Ganga, it's his birthday today.
It's his birthday today! - He doesn't want to meet anybody!
He doesn't want to meet anyone. - No!
Not even me? - Not even me!
I'll show him!
Hello.
No, Arjun isn't in. Don't know when he'll return.
Operator. If anyone calls, tell them I'm out.
I wish to be alone today. Thank you.
So what if it's his birthday? He didn't invite me.
He hasn't invited anyone! He's all alone and depressed.
He's angry with us.
So what shall I do about it?
In America, we leave people alone, if they wish it.
But in India we never leave our friends alone.
In fact, we gate-crash and wish our friends on such occasions.
But this isn't India, its America! - But he's still your friend.
Have you forgotten what he did for you?
Not for me, but for daddy.
He wants to impress daddy and launch a music company.
Anyway, I've to attend a party, and... - What?
You can go with Paul if you wish. Bye!
Take some old gift lying around the house for him. Okay?
David! Get my car!
Now you know what Rajiv wants?
"Someday, I'll meet her."
"That day, I will be with the love of my life."
"But I don't know when that fortunate moment will arrive."
"For, my heart yearns. My heart is lonely."
"Come out of my imagination and become my reality."
"We are meant to be together. So, come to me, my beloved."
"My beloved."
"Come out of my imagination and become my reality."
"What to do?"
"We love you!"
"I don't remember since when, but since a long time,"
"I have loved you."
"I'm a poet, and you're my song."
"I am pining for you."
"Don't know from where but here she comes!"
"We love you!"
"Tell me who she is."
"Show me that portrait of hers."
"You don't tell such things to everyone."
"But you don't hide them from your friends either!"
"I'll cure this heartache for you."
"If I don't succeed, I'll at least pray for you."
"I'll at least pray for you."
"She'll rush to you. You'll find her. Your beloved."
"Your beloved."
"Someday, I'll meet her."
"That day, I will be with the love of my life."
"But I don't know when that fortunate moment will arrive."
"For, my heart yearns. My heart is lonely."
"Come out of my imagination and become my reality."
"My beloved."
Yes. It's 11:30 pm.
Everyone's waiting for you. - It's Arjun's birthday today.
Everyone's ridiculing you
that you're dancing with those garage workers.
But I've taken Rajiv's permission.
I'm asking you for the last time.
Are you coming home this minute or not?
Aunt... - Just say, yes or no!
No!
"What to do?"
"We love you!"
Just a minute. Talk to Arjun.
Yes... Rajiv. - Hi Rajiv!
Happy birthday my friend!
I'm really sorry, I couldn't make it, mate!
Now send my Ganga back.
She and Paul are just leaving. - Listen. Tomorrow
I'm holding a party to the
sheriff's son at the dockyard and you're attending it.
I won't be able to Rajiv.
Please! The problem is one of the musicians has run off.
So in his place, you come with your guitar and play in a corner.
You are coming okay? You are coming!
May I dance with her? - Sure! Why not?
How's life?
Good music!
Can I have it? Can I have it back, please?
Please!
Can I have it back please?
No Arjun!
Come on Arjun leave him! - Come on! Cool down!
Come on Arjun leave him.
Relax! Relax! Relax!
Why did you hit him? - He went for her drape.
So? - It's embarrassing for her.
Isn't it my job to protect her?
Whose wife is she going to be? Mine or yours?
Who is the husband? Me or you? - Rajiv...
It's my job to protect her. Not yours! - Yes, I know!
You small fries shouldn't be invited at all. Aunt was right.
Now just get lost! All right?
But Rajiv... - You shut up!
Go! Get lost! Leave us alone! Get it?
A storm never warns before it hits.
It just comes, ruins everybody and goes away.
What are you hinting at?
Fire and wax have a star-crossed relationship.
We just know that they emit light together.
But we don't realize that under that fire,
the wax is slowly melting away.
Come straight to the point. Bottom line.
The intimacy between Arjun and Ganga...
For Rajiv... - Enough!
You've said it today but don't even think about it again!
Whatever has to be done,
I'll do it.
Good evening. Did you call me? - Yes, Arjun.
I have some good news for you. - Good news?
You've been chosen as the president
of our auto company in Los Angeles.
You'll also be its major shareholder.
Now you'll have your own bungalow, a car.
You like my car very much, don't you?
Here, take these!
This car is yours from today. - Thank you, dad!
You seem very happy today. What's the matter?
I'm happy, and I'm sad too.
Sad because you'll have to leave this city tomorrow itself.
Rajiv will get married on the 9th.
Be present here on the 9th morning.
That means I'll have to leave tomorrow morning.
Yes. Tomorrow morning at 5 am.
Tomorrow morning!
Can't I leave after 2 days? - No.
It concerns your career,
and you have your first board meeting tomorrow.
You'll have to go.
Okay.
Bless you.
Now you too should find a nice girl and settle down.
I'll go now dad.
God bless you.
Hello! - Is Arjun there?
This is Ganga.
Arjun has gone. - Where to?
I don't know. But I do know that he has left us!
This morning, when we were all asleep, he just left.
Yes papa! This is Ganga! You called after ages.
How's mother? Dabboo, Potla? Daksha. Sonali?
I'm fine. Rajiv... has gone out.
Everybody's gone out. I'm alone here.
I'm all right. Happy too.
No. I'm happy! Why are you asking me again and again?
Yes? My voice?
It's because of the ice-cream.
Papa, aren't you coming to U.S.A.?
Please come papa.
I can't hear.
Can't hear bye! Bye papa!
Dear.
No, my dear.
Don't cry so.
You had an engagement ring.
Where is it?
Engagement ring? Where is it?
Where did I keep it?
I'll tell you.
Since yesterday evening it was lying by the pool.
And now it's in my hand.
Take this, put it on.
Take this.
Put it on.
I've got you from India.
You are your parents' hope.
You are our future.
You're soon going to be Rajiv's better half!
I know my son is a difficult person.
But by getting to know his American ways and habits,
change them to your liking.
Isn't that what we had promised each other?
Hadn't we? - Yes.
Dad, I have to go to Las Vegas with my friends for a wedding.
Then go ahead!
Take her with you too. Show her Las Vegas!
Of course, dad!
First apologise to her. Say sorry!
I'm sorry! Very sorry!
See? How soft hearted my son is!
Now start packing,
cheer up and go to Las Vegas.
Las Vegas!
Kishorilal! What's this Las Vegas like?
It's a town full of good times,
vices, song and dance, gambling, marriages, honeymoon.
All sorts of fun and frolic.
Is it meant only for kids? - No! Adults also go there!
But not with children!
When will we go there?
I meant you, me, Krishna and other family members?
I'll also be taking you there.
Really?
To the temple!
You mean Arjun left the city.
'The fumes are emanating before the fires rage.'
'On both sides passions are rising.'
Arjun!
"Heart! It's the heart."
"My heart it's crazy."
"It has driven me crazy too, this crazy heart of mine."
"I've quit her town with a broken heart."
"Yet it continues to beat for her."
"I've driven her out of my heart."
"I did what I shouldn't have done, yet it misses her."
"My heart it's crazy."
"God saves the world. World saves the man."
"Man saves the heart. Heart saves the love."
"Heart! It's the heart."
"Heart."
"What has my heart done after all? What do I hold against it?"
"Except for falling in love what wrong has my heart done?"
"I'm a lover, I'm no thief."
"I can't help the way I feel."
"I'm a lover, I'm no thief."
"I can't help the way I feel."
"My heart it's crazy."
"It takes all the pain, my heart. It pines for the picture."
"It urges me to break the shackles."
"This is no weak link, I can't help it. I can't help the way I feel."
"My heart it's crazy."
"It's crazy, my heart."
"It has driven me crazy too this crazy heart of mine."
"This heart"
"Heart."
"It's crazy, my heart"
"Heart."
"This crazy heart"
"This heart"
"Heart."
"This heart"
What are you doing?
I'm playing with this romantic city of lights.
I'm teaching you how to make love.
I don't want to learn.
Now go to your room please.
Honey, you'll have to learn that.
Every wife has to, or else, the husband gets offended.
Look, I'm not your wife.
There are still a few days left for our wedding.
So what? We'll get married right now.
I, Rajiv Laal,
accept you as my legally wedded wife.
There! We're married.
Now, my bridal kiss!
Rajiv! Please!
I beg you. Please go to your room.
All my western friends are enjoying life
with their girlfriends behind closed doors.
No pretensions! - Try to understand!
They are westerners. We're Indians!
Our culture forbids boys and girls
from doing such things before marriage.
We are also going to get married soon.
Then wait for a few days. Let's take our vows at least.
Let me become your wife.
Marital vows! It's all rubbish!
It's utter nonsense!
I mean, let's not waste time.
Come here.
Leave me. Don't touch me.
Don't come any closer.
There is nobody as petty as you Indians!
Mention intimacy, and you start whining and crying!
Boys and girls are kept separated like animals!
Women have their society. Men have their own.
Yet, you have a world record begetting children!
You all are hypocrites, you bloody Indians!
You, your parents, your family,
all of you are illiterates and narrow-minded.
Double standard, stupid people!
Want to hear more?
Your India too is no better than trash!
It stinks like cow dung!
You fiend! You abuse our India!
Well, listen!
From today, I'm breaking off this relationship with you!
I discard this ring, a fraud symbol of our bond!
We consider you, your wealth and your drug-infested America
unworthy of holding a candle to India.
Now go away from here! Get out at once! Get out!
You...
You slapped me!
How dare you touch me?
Rajiv!
Rajiv! Don't touch me.
Rajiv!
How did she disappear? - I told you, I don't know.
She wasn't there in the morning.
I don't know where she went.
I can't believe it!
Call the police commissioner and take an urgent appointment for me.
Come with me, Sandy. You also come with me, Jenny.
You better find our girl!
Else her father will raise hell here!
This truck driver says
that he left some Indian girl at the Waterfront railway station.
Arjun!
What happened?
Don't cry, please.
Listen to me.
What happened? Tell me. Why did you do this?
You ran away all alone?
Tell me what the matter is.
Stop crying and tell me what happened.
Tell me what happened.
Who did this to you? - Rajiv.
Okay. Let's go. Don't cry. We'll go home.
No. I don't want to. - Listen.
You have to go... - No! Didn't you hear me?
I neither want to marry, nor stay in America.
I don't want to stay here. - Okay, we won't stay here.
But we'll meet dad at least. - No! Go ahead if you wish.
I'll die, but I won't go back! I've taken a vow!
Shut up! Stop this madness and let's go.
No, Arjun! You'll send me to India.
Right now! This moment! - Okay, I'll take you back.
This is a foreign place. Meet dad just once.
Don't take me back if you wish. I'll go alone. - Ganga.
I don't need you! I can do without you. - Ganga.
No! I'll go on my own. - Ganga..
Ganga. Listen to me. Wait!
Oh! She's good!
So come on, baby!
I told you this was a foreign land. Let's go from here.
Lovers!
No! You are lying!
It's true. Deepak saw them boarding a plane for Delhi.
This cannot be!
Be bold enough to face the truth.
The truth is Arjun and Ganga have fled to India!
No!
Hello.
Give me a call to America, Los Angeles. The number is...
You won't call them. You'll never call them!
We are dead to them, and they are dead to us!
That's it!
Ganga, wake up!
I'm Dabboo. Wake up!
Ganga.
I've been betrayed! I won't spare him!
We'll leave for India tonight. - India? To fight?
Yes! - No! It's not right.
Why? - Because we aren't bad people!
We are good Indians! - But I'm bad, Paul!
Ganga will have to return.
She's mine and will always be mine.
Mine!
Uncle!
You wolf in sheep's clothing! Now I know what your game is!
What's my game?
You lured her into your arms and betrayed Kishorilal and me.
You lied about Rajiv too!
No! What are you doing?
Slashing the very person who... - Get aside!
Why didn't you die there?
No! - I had seen you off in bridal finery!
I wish you had returned in a coffin!
At least you wouldn't have returned to shame me, with this rascal!
What's going on?
You won't hit Ganga! - I'll kill her!
Then you'll have to kill me first.
I swear,
Ganga is as chaste as ever.
Get out!
I'll go. Now. This very moment.
Never to return.
But you won't lift your hand to hit her.
Get out of here! I said, get out!
For God's sake, please go!
Else it'll be disastrous!
No! Arjun is innocent. - Shut up!
I don't believe a word you say! You have let me down!
I have done nothing wrong. - You've betrayed us very badly.
Our honour and dignity have been ruined.
I wish you die! Damn you!
No, dad!
Dad!
I'll really and truly die! Stop him, dad!
Dad!
Arjun.
50 rupees only. It fulfils all your wishes.
People take it as offering.
When is the Mathura bus due? - It's gone!
How long ago? - One hour.
When's the next one? - Evening.
At what time? - 6:30 pm.
Where are you from? - Nowhere!
Then?
Look, all of you. Try to understand me.
There's nothing between Arjun and me.
These are all lies!
Then change those lies into truth, Ganga.
Yes, Ganga. We all believe that only Arjun loves you truly.
Not Rajiv!
Remember? Once you had said,
a song should remind you of your motherland.
Only Arjun can sing such a song.
You realised that later, but we all knew it from the beginning.
What are you all advising her on?
Get lost from here!
Granny, we just...
Go away else your dad will kill you.
Have a few morsels, my dear. You've not eaten for hours.
No, grandma! I won't eat anything.
Dear, your father and mother have shut you in here
because their own eyes are shut!
But this old woman's eyes are still wide open at this age!
I agree with what Daksha and Sonali said.
Grandma! - My dear,
Arjun is a God-sent saviour for you.
Such blessings are not to be given up so easily.
Go, stop him!
I'm practicing what I'm preaching.
Everything has been done to help you escape from here.
Look, there are your knights.
To help you escape from this jail.
They are all ready. Where's Ramu?
Vibhishana requests his elder brother Ravana...
Mother, Rajiv is in India. - I see.
Where's Suraj?
He's gone to receive Kulwanti and Kishorilal.
What! Is that man coming here too?
Of course. - Try all your might.
What will we tell them?
Employ all your tricks.
But you could never match the great power of Lord Rama.
"Oh God."
"Love is worship."
"Worship is love."
"This is craziness, so is that."
"This is love, so is that."
"What's gotten into me? Everyone is worried."
"I've fallen in love."
"I shouldn't have fallen in love."
"I shouldn't have but I've fallen in love."
"I've fallen in love."
"I shouldn't have fallen in love."
"I shouldn't have but I've fallen in love."
"I've fallen in love."
"People in the world don't know."
"The heart does not heed the world's scorn."
"If there's anything that it does, it's love."
"That recognizes the feelings of a lover."
Stop right there! Go back home!
I will. But tell me just once that...
That...
That you don't love me. - No.
I don't love you. - But you do!
Ganga! This isn't right! - Then say that!
Why do you say you don't love me?
No! I don't love you at all. Understand?
Now go back home.
Go!
"The time to decide is now at hand."
"What am I to decide? This is what my heart says."
"This is what my heart says"
"Be prepared to live and die."
"For, I have fallen in love."
"I shouldn't have but I've fallen in love."
"For, I have fallen in love."
"I have fallen in love."
"I've returned the bridal fineries to my father."
"Now love protects me."
"I've cast aside the ring of fake customs."
"I've broken every shackle. I'm now free of them."
"Fearless, I march on now."
"I head for my beloved's house with the world on my trail."
"I have but one prayer."
"May I unite with the lover I've been separated from."
"My love, my worship may be restored to me."
"This stole on my body, I have coloured with my blood."
"May this Ganga now flow into the ocean." - Arjun!
Wretch!
You!
No!
Why did you bring him here? Why?
Ganga! Let's get her, guys!
"I shouldn't have fallen in love."
"But I did."
"I've fallen in love."
"I shouldn't have fallen in love."
"I fell in love"
"I've fallen in love."
"I shouldn't have fallen in love."
"But I did."
"I've fallen in love."
"My beloved."
Arjun!
I have a pistol in my pocket. The bullet that will be fired,
will either target you or me.
I trusted you.
Gave you everything. Tell me the truth now.
What's the truth? Tell me!
Speak up!
Truth?
You don't want to know the truth.
Because those who want to know it,
don't carry a pistol in their pocket
and hatred in their hearts.
It takes a big heart.
One needs a big heart to hear the truth.
And the truth is that,
when a man gains status with wealth and power
he distances himself from truth and morals.
He thinks, whatever he thinks is the truth.
Whatever he does is right!
That's what has happened with you too, sir.
You made it big all right,
but remained small in personal matters.
Because the truth is that you lied to yourself.
You lied that an Indian girl can be a wife to a foreigner like him.
To turn this lie into truth, you made me lie too.
I, suppressed under your obligations,
lied through my teeth!
Lied that Rajiv is very nice.
A very nice boy without any vices!
He's a son of a great, millionaire Indian.
A son of a wealthy man.
A son, yes!
He's your son, sir. But not an Indian!
The truth is, I always lied to Ganga.
What's your relationship with Ganga?
Trust. Respect, reverence, and love.
If protecting her, adds up to love, then, yes!
Yes! I love her.
I always will.
But I never tried to woo her.
Neither will I do it now.
Because Ganga is yours.
Her father's.
Mother's.
I'll go now, sir. I'll never come back.
Arjun!
You heard the truth from Arjun. Now hear me too.
Do you want to see
what your son tried to do at the Las Vegas hotel,
in a drunken state behind bolted doors with me?
Then see this.
See the scars and wounds of his lust.
I ask you, what kind of a culture is this,
where a would-be husband, behaves like this with his fiancée?
Even then, if you ask me to throw myself in this fire
then I'll do it, dad. Because you're my father.
Decider of my fate!
If you ask me to take poison then I'll consume it!
Why should you?
For centuries now, we women have been consuming poison.
First, we have to listen to our parents,
then our husband, and finally, our kids!
You won't consume any poison!
Don't interfere, mother!
Keep quiet! You've lost your senses!
You've humiliated this poor girl.
Mother... - Kishorilal!
Didn't you sing, 'India is my country and religion'?
You wished to nestle an Indian girl, in America?
Is this what you achieved?
Wonderful!
I ask you,
if a girl from here goes to another land,
where she has nothing in common,
why should she go there?
Ganga will go abroad!
You're still saying that.
Yes, I'm still saying it.
Remember me saying,
that I will make Ganga my daughter-in-law,
take her to my house?
By asking you for her hand with folded hands?
She'll become my daughter-in-law.
But not as Rajiv's wife.
She'll marry Arjun.
Yes, she'll marry Arjun!
Your mother is right.
If a girl from here goes to another land...
What are you doing, dad?
I'm your son, dad!
Get lost from here!
Go back to America!
Serves you right! Good!
Arjun!
"The daughter goes to seek her father's blessings." - Dad!
"She asks her father to find a groom for her." - Dad!
"Father find a groom for me who's..."
"A groom who has the qualities of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna."
"This world is like a bride."
"This world is like a bride and the vermillion on its forehead."
"This my India, I love my India."
"I love my India. India is my deed."
"India is my deed, - India is my religion."
"India is my beloved."
"India is my deed. India is my beloved."
