You're listening to RedFM.
Just got word that there's a new romantic Punjabi comedy movie
being shot in Brampton.
The premise involves a Canadian-born boy
getting into a fake marriage
with a Punjab-born girl for citizenship.
It isn't Jasmeet, is it?
Lucky Gill, the film's director
Then it's a guarantee! This is going to be a hilarious film.
Get ready to have a laughing fit!
I don't care about the dowry anymore.
I'm bringing her back to Canada.
Oh! What's up, paaji?
Oy! Come here.
Man, these guys don't do any work.
Just wandering around all day.
Do you want to take a shot?
We've been working on rewrites all day.
Look, I've got these uncles inside writing.
Yes! You're right! Give me two minutes.
Okay okay, we've figured it out!
...instead of marrying a girl named Preeti,
you're marrying a guy named Preet!
You get it?
We'll call it "Rainbow Card"!
Like a PR card! You know how their flags are all colourful?
Guys, guys, write down this great scene!
It'll get people in the Punjabi community
thinking about gay people, gay rights and all that.
This is our seva to them.
Paaji, you're going to become the biggest star.
Forget millions, we're gonna make billions!
Avatar, Titanic, they'll be left in the dust.
You're going to have the biggest directors chasing after you.
As if you're gonna call Lucky Gill anymore...
You're going to have white girls after you,
gays chasing after you.
Why don't you guys get a better sofa? It's killing my back.
Ma Ji, why don't you sleep comfortably downstairs?
We made a bed for you.
No, don't worry, I slept plenty on the plane.
Mama, Supinder is right.
She has made a nice room for you downstairs.
Plenty of space.
Don't worry, I'll just sleep on the floor in the TV room.
Who's going to watch TV late at night?
Plus, it'll be really good for my back.
Okay, you decide.
I'm going to work.
Call if you need anything.
Don't worry, I won't be in your way at all.
The tea looks a little weak, no?
Who am I to argue and give any creative input...
He's not my mom's sister's son.
My thanks you egg...
Everybody gather round, gather round.
He dropped everything he needed to do,
just to come here and be a part
of this tiny little film of mine.
I'm filled with happiness...
I have a wonderful feeling about this;
you've written such a great script.
I got so much enjoyment reading it,
as soon as I read the first two lines I was like "yes!"
My plane was on the way to Dubai,
we're 25 thousand square feet up,
and I said "No! We're not going to Dubai anymore.
Forget performing for those Sheikhs."
Then I told that pilot "make a u-turn."
"Bring me straight here."
So now I'm here in Toronto
to be a part of this amazing, culture changing movie.
I feel so proud and emotional
that this is going to be our own...
"Back Bone Mountain."
Shall we start off with a quick prayer.
My good friend, Avtar...
Just wait two minutes.
Can you just shut up for two minutes. Prayers are happening.
Mummy, do you watch Pakistani dramas?
Oh, forget it!
I don't watch that kind of garbage.
No, they're really exciting, trust me!
You need to try and watch it at least once.
That stuff is there to ruin the minds of people with free time.
Then when the family breaks up they ask what happened.
Hello? Hey sister!
How are you?
I'm fine.
I've arrived but the flight was very long.
I haven't even seen my grandchildren yet.
They're out busy building their lives.
Maanvi? God knows what she is up to.
She's out here getting pushed around in the streets.
Sometimes she goes to Asia, sometimes Europe.
No, no, her marriage got broken off.
It's such a shame.
And Jasmeet? It's not like he's married yet either.
No, he moved downtown.
I don't know why he doesn't live at home.
Their house looks pretty good to me!
Yes, everyone else is okay too.
You know, she hired someone to make roti for her
so she can have some free time to watch TV.
Oh, well, let's move on - what's it to us anyway?
No, no, you idiot.
God has given me such a brilliant mind.
He purposely wrote that scene just so he could kiss me!
Go get ready and get your makeup done!
Why are you standing here?
Okay, everyone on your marks, let's get going.
You should learn to laugh too. You're always serious.
Yeah, go ahead and set that there.
Bro, we're not making porn.
Where am I supposed to find a white woman
to tell you how to kiss?
Why are you always stressing me out man?
Making everything so complicated.
Bro, you're not actually gay.
Just relax. Somebody get him some water.
You drank coffee, right? Go brush your teeth! Go!
Think about Sajan, he's such a big star!
And why are you standing here? Get to work!
Hurry up, man, I'm getting light on me.
Get ahead of me. Walk side by side.
Or I'll fire your ass.
What are you doing sitting in the tub?
What happened?
Please, you have to help me!
Mummy-ji is ruining the vibe of the whole house.
She doesn't like my cooking,
and she's taking over the whole living room.
She won't even let me watch my dramas.
Okay, I'll talk to her.
Here, let's get you out.
My wife is here and even my mother is here!
Any of your family here?
But, I'm nervous about doing this movie
considering our culture.
I would never let them come see this scene.
That's why I had them wait outside.
The disgrace they would experience if they saw...
a boy kissing another boy.
I mean we both know it's part of the job but...
Not everything needs to be shown.
The only thing it'll expose is their broken little hearts.
They tried watching Glee and even that didn't help.
Bro, one very important thing...
My India data pack is finished.
Can you give me the wi-fi password?
Enter it in, paaji.
The disgrace they would experience if they saw...
a boy kissing another boy.
You're going to be a big star, huge star!
Oh, he's your brother, man! Give your little brother a kiss!
Which penchod is interrupting my shoot?!
Umbrella!
We'll get you your goddamn umbrella!
Umbrella, umbrella... always umbrella.
Your five minutes aren't up yet?
Everyone else is back.
Are you serious?
Are you gonna work?
Go change your shirt!
Umbrella boy, get over there!
and they keep messing up my shirts.
What's the point of saying sorry,
these guys aren't going to do anything different.
Same thing over and over again,
copying 30 year old Hollywood movies.
They don't want to do anything different.
Kid...
This is your job.
Everything your Sri Lankan friend said?
I think she was right.
You can't break out of the box this way.
You have to try something new,
and you can do that.
So why don't you?
For thirty years,
"Look at his clothes!"
"Look what he did to his hair! He looks silly!"
The day the culture goes away,
that's when you're gonna do something?
My mentor used to say...
"Don't mind anyone else. Like a river, carve your own way."
Go show off your swag, playa!
Take this.
And one more thing...
Mama?
Come, I can take you to your room downstairs
so you can sleep peacefully.
You're trying to put me in the ground like Jogi?
I'm fine right where I am.
You can take Maanvi's room upstairs if you like.
No peace in this house.
Here, upstairs, this first room on the left is yours.
Yes, Mama, the room on the left.
Yes, yes.
Mama, it's this one on the left! The one on the left!
Mama, this is our bedroom!
Ah penchod, you're still not ready yet?
Bro, can you get him ready?
Where'd he go off and die?
Quit? After all these costs?!
Man, let's go.
Let's go link up with Quentin Tarantino.
We gotta stop messing around with Desi's.
Let's ride.
Do you act?
Bro, trust me. This is going to be a huge film.
