(Background Music)
As it goes, I was born in 1855.
I saw a lot of love in 165 years.
I witnessed great love in Banaras...
...all thanks to Nannu from the medical store.
(Laughs)
One day I was going about my usual business...
...when I met that star-crossed fellow
I mean that chomu Akash...
...and his beautiful wife Kavya.
As I waited for their budding love...
...to culminate into something, we got into trouble.
This is no romantic story...
...but that of rubber band!
(Background Laughter)
Here I am!
(Birds Chirping)
(Soft Music Playing In The Background)
(Temple Bell)
Take.
Oh no!
My balloon flew away.
(Crying)
This is the second time Siya cried for a ruptured balloon.
(Birds Chirping)
Care to know when she first cried because of rubber?
It's a kind of a long story...
...so let's laugh our way...
...through Siya's story when she first cried.
"Poor guys knows not trickery."
"He's just star-crossed."
"Why does he get in harm's way?"
"Forever inviting trouble."
"He goes about life compensating."
"He's just star-crossed."
"Move on, vagabond."
"Shoo, vagabond."
"Move, vagabond."
"Get lost, vagabond."
"Move on, vagabond."
"God sighs with a heavy heart..."
"...upon creating him from up above."
"Any task he undertakes..."
"...is bound to go awry."
Please spare me!
"Flustered family members have no moments of peace."
"That guy was born with rotten luck."
"He goes about life compensating."
"He's just star-crossed."
"Move, vagabond."
"Get lost, vagabond."
"Move on, vagabond."
"Get lost, vagabond."
Hey!
I'm sorry.
You've done enough already!
This has become a habit.
I come to this shop for Mr Chaudhary's sake.
Every time I'm here, I see you making mistakes..
You're Mr Chaudhary's biggest mistake!
Chaudhary neither errs nor lets others err, Narayan.
What mistake did I make?
It's right here.
What is he doing after studying engineering?
Running a grocery store!
Heard that?
- Why are you hiding... - (Grunts)
Wait, I'll explain.
Have you heard of Radhekrishna Damania?
- Whose that fool... - Let me explain.
Let me.
- Have you ever been to DMart? - I used to.
I'd buy grocery from there.
Air-conditioned place.
Ever since you started this store, I buy from here.
Heard that, dad?
- Heard what? - Dad!
- I stole one customer of DMart. - How so?
Look, it all starts with small grocery stores.
DMart started with a small shop and grew into a chain.
Soon, you'll see Akash Mart all over the place.
I have big dreams.
And my dreams fuc...
What did you say?
Dad, I meant luck.
Be specific.
- It tore but it's not my fault. - Certainly not, son.
It's not your fault but that of this bag.
You handled it...
...and it tore!
I'm ailing with worry wondering...
...who will bring you good luck...
...and change your rotten luck.
That's all I worry about.
(Laughs)
You needn't worry, dad. I'll manage it.
How? You've achieved nothing so far.
Go to hell!
Well...
(Laughs)
Get back to work.
Brother, Narayan has visitors...
...in big cars.
The doctor's doing well I guess.
I will too.
(Train Horn Blaring)
(Bike Stopped Sound)
(Engine Revving)
(Background Music)
(Inaudible)
I had no idea my life would turn interesting...
...at a food stall that day.
My first love.
Kavya.
(Birds Chirping)
Kavya gives me confidence.
(Phone Vibrate)
Nannu, please give that.
What?
That thing.
What?
Give me chocolate.
(Chuckles)
Chocolate or chocolate flavour?
Just say you want rubber band!
Who calls it rubber band?
I do.
You're ashamed to ask for it directly.
It's nicknamed rubber band for the likes for you.
Which flavour? Chocolate, strawberry or vanilla?
Mixed fruit?
Am I selling fruit salad?
How come my friend didn't tell me about his new business!
Why did you call?
What do I say why I called?
That's what I asked.
Have some sweet first.
Yes.
Why are you blushing?
What do I say?
Meet me in the evening and I'll tell you why I'm blushing.
(Footsteps)
Chomu!
Yes.
Here.
(Laughs)
You feel shy, right?
- Want some free advice? - Yes.
Do push up fast then use rubber band...
...otherwise money waste.
Okay.
Money.
When will I see my baby, doctor?
Experience says it'll take 4-5 months.
You'll meet the baby in winters.
You can start knitting.
Knit something for me too if you will!
Sure.
I'm anxious, doctor.
Why worry?
This country needs women like you.
- Thank you. - Me too.
Yes.
How many kids do you have?
This one if the fifth child.
Look, Mr Modi promotes Make in India.
You alone are working on it seriously.
You alone are making babies.
(Laughs)
Yes?
Here's the prescription. See me next week...
- ...for check-up. - Okay.
Pay 300 rupees on your way out.
Thank you.
Now we'll add chopped ginger...
...green chilies and garlic.
Now we'll add roughly chopped onions.
Here we go. Next goes in finely chopped tomato.
How about some blessings?
Here you go.
This is my daughter Kavya.
Where were you, my doll?
Doesn't matter. What are you making?
'Undhiyu'.
Dad, I'm starving.
I know that.
Go freshen up while serve food.
Okay.
Well, the dish is ready.
Do make this for your family...
...and subscribe to Rasikbhai's channel.
Until next time, bye.
- Play your hand. - It's your turn.
Is it? Here.
- Wow. - Hello, Nannu.
Here I am.
Why did you call me?
I am in love.
Oh dear! He's in love!
- I'm the only one left out! - What good will love do to you?
You have no idea how love feels.
Brother, when did you develop feelings?
Today!
And you waited this long to tell us!
Who is it?
Your buffalo!
Such eagerness!
(Laughs)
- Tell us who it is. - I don't know.
- Her name? - No idea.
- Address? - I don't know.
- Her father? - I don't know.
What do you know then?
I know this.
She rides a bullet and gets into fights.
Fights?
- Our town has a female goon? - She's no goon.
- She's my future wife. - Future wife?
(Laughs)
- You seem serious. - Indeed.
Don't worry, I'll find out.
Cheers.
(Crickets Chirping)
Hope I'm lucky enough to get her.
Don't depend on your luck or you're doomed!
- Shut up! - C'mon!
Ignore him. He knows not love.
But I do.
Seen enough of it all around.
Mr Sharma's son finds new love every other day.
What are you saying? Every day?
From chocolate, Mango to strawberry loving women!
Ugh! Don't throw these at me.
This is not dirty. This is instant emergency marketing.
Nannu, tell me this.
Do you sell anything else other than rubber band?
You're laughing because you don't need this yet.
The day you do, you'll come running to me.
Yes?
An Indian missile can barge into Pakistan for once...
...but no sperm can penetrate from this security hold.
- Really? - Wait.
(Phone Vibrate)
Hello. Yes, Mahadev.
What errand?
Oh that? I have it. You'll get it soon.
Hang up.
- I'll leave. - Already?
Someone needs security arrangements.
Okay, see you later.
- Let him go. - Cheers.
Nannu is updated with latest happenings in Banaras.
- Yes. - Chomu! Move.
- Come. - What is it?
- What? - You don't know.
You wait here and I'll see who's chasing you.
I mean don't know.
Don't know what?
Let me check.
I saw the one you don't know.
What are you saying?
- Riding a bullet. - Really?
- With who? - I don't know.
Where?
Get your sports bike for now.
Stop jesting! It's a simple scooter.
Exactly! Get going.
You're updated about my girl.
Never doubt Suryakant Tripathi's son's abilities.
We'll find her.
- Yes. - Stop.
- What? - Turn right.
Too late.
Move.
- Are you sure about this? - Yes, just ride carefully.
- Yes. - Turn left.
(Bike Approaching)
Tell me something.
She rides a bullet...
...and you ride a scooter.
Do you think she'll say yes?
Why mess with my confidence?
What? Do you want 'paan'?
(Temple Bell)
Yes and don't forget areca nut.
Okay.
(Birds Chirping)
Don't make it sweet. I'll be back.
(Engine Revving)
There she is.
She's the one, right?
Yes, she is.
Go talk to her.
Right away.
Hi.
I want to talk to you.
Why?
I'd like to know your name.
Why?
I want to know more about you.
Why?
That day...
- Sorry. - Why?
Akash.
Akash, that's my name.
Why?
Dad chose that name.
Why?
Come.
(Birds Chirping)
(Gasps)
(Temple Bell)
Did you tell her?
I did.
Did she say anything?
She did.
What?
Why?
What?
Why?
- Why? - You're no good!
Why?
What's with that?
She... Look!
Do this.
Propose to her.
Already?
Girls these days are really fast.
Go for it before someone else does.
Really?
Go.
Okay.
Do you know that oaf?
What hmmm?
He's following us.
Guess he's after you.
(Train Horn Blaring)
I love you, Kavya.
I love you too.
Stop joking, Rohan.
Hey, stop!
Why are you angry?
I was joking, Kavya.
Bloody idiot!
- What happened? - I don't know.
- Who was he? - I don't know.
What do you know then?
Wait...
...I'll talk to her.
Listen!
Do you know Suryakant Tripathi's son?
No.
Any problem?
No.
I'll ask others if they know him.
Do I look like a postman to you?
Behave.
He was the villain of my life.
(Crickets Chirping)
(Dialer Tone)
Hello, tell me.
What are you doing? Why was your number busy?
Who were you talking to?
What's wrong? Why are you upset?
What wrong did I do?
I'm planning an outing tomorrow. Interested?
Actually, I'm busy tomorrow.
I see. You're meeting him tomorrow.
You're busy these days.
I already knew it...
...yet I called to confirm...
...if I'm more important or boys.
I'll accompany you for security's sake.
You see...
...you mustn't trust people easily, Tina.
Okay?
Bye.
(Crickets Chirping)
(Birds Chirping)
You never liked sweet 'paan'.
Why now?
Since 10:48:47 last morning.
To hell with you!
Why are you getting mad?
(Humming)
Yes?
What did she say?
I just reached.
Now?
Mister, Lomo 40.
Oh dear! Kavya's here.
Why?
Because I want it. Got it?
- I don't know. - I don't know.
Don't you know it cures loose motions?
- Tablet for loose motions? - Yes.
Tablet for loose motions?
I'm talking to a customer not you.
Go ahead and keep me posted.
Find out everything about her.
Okay, I'll hang up.
Lomo 40, stopping the potty.
I know.
Go soon.
With Kavya around.
I'm confident.
Tell me.
You speak.
What do I say?
Say anything.
Should I speak if you have nothing to say?
Go ahead.
I have nothing to say.
Okay, I'll say then.
I'm sorry.
What for?
I love someone else.
- Who? - You.
I haven't approved yet.
Do it then.
What are you two up to?
Why?
I'll think about it.
When?
Bye.
She'll think about it.
(Laughs)
- Nice. - What?
Your yellow teeth.
You!
You're here?
Yes...
...I'm here.
Why?
Okay, I'll leave then.
No!
That's not what I meant.
I meant to ask...
...how may I help you.
Do you give things on credit?
- Yes. - No.
Yes or no?
Yes.
But you said no.
He said yes...
...so it's yes.
Yes?
Then ask him...
...if he'll lend me his heart.
Brother!
Can you lend your heart to her?
Can you keep mum for sometime?
Yes.
(Background Music)
Is that a yes?
Not yet.
Let me be sure.
What if you hand me outdated stuff on credit?
Well...
...are you free this evening?
Yes, totally free.
Hey.
(Water Sloshing)
(Birds Chirping)
Why did you get me here?
I haven't even eaten yet.
I'm petrified!
Why?
I have no confidence.
Hence, I got you here.
What?
Help me.
Tuck your tummy in.
Chest out.
(Sighs)
Go. I'll go that way.
- Why? - I'll get snacks.
Go.
Be smart.
Go.
(Footsteps)
Here I am.
You asked me to come.
(Laughs)
How about a selfie?
Yes.
(Camera Click)
Yes.
Nice.
What for?
I want you to be on my mind and dp always.
Let the world know we're together.
Nice.
But it's your dp.
What if your dad sees it?
What will he say?
Why?
We can't hide things from him.
Is it?
But it's different with my family.
You see...
...ever since I was born...
...dad has noted down every penny...
...he spent on me.
He expects to get reimbursed...
...in the form of dowry.
Hey...
There's one more thing.
You're Gujarati.
My dad will never accept that.
- True. - (Clearing Throat)
Here's my buddy.
Does he accompany you everywhere?
This is Nannu.
He's my life.
We're always together.
We dress alike too.
I went to get snacks.
(Paper Rustle)
I was telling her...
...dad won't approve of a Gujarati girl.
Bro, she's smiling.
I can see that.
(Horn Honks)
You couldn't digest my success.
You came to check on the clinic.
Half the town gets rubber band from you.
It's not for free though.
Big deal.
Doctor, those who won't stop procreating will consult you for sure.
I'm just serving the nation by curbing pollution.
He doesn't even know it's called population...
...and he's advocating the use of rubber band!
No point talking to you.
We shouldn't have come here.
Please sit down.
Doctor, I want some information.
How may I help, Mr Chaudhary?
Uncle, how are kids made?
What do you mean?
I know just one method.
What's the time?
Time?
- It's 4.30. - Okay.
We wanted to know...
...how will Akash beget a child?
He'll get a child once he marries. Big deal.
You don't understand.
Please explain.
I see.
Is that possible?
Tell us.
Is that possible?
That's not possible.
Tell us, doctor...
...why isn't it possible?
Have you lost it?
Doctor...
...we love each other.
Yes.
You... Don't waste my time.
Pay Rs 15 at the counter...
...for wasting 15 minutes.
What a bother!
The world at large imparts more knowledge than books.
Understand?
Sir, are you referring to news?
Yes, you can say that or...
...incidents that occur around us...
...also teach us.
Two men got married in England.
Look, this is what I am saying.
You can get knowledge from books and also from the real world.
Had Pritam not heard the news...
...how would he know two boys got married in England?
(Laughs)
No, you mustn't laugh at anyone.
(Phone Ringing)
- Hello. - Mr Chaudhary, this is Narayan.
I have hot news for you...
...regarding your son.
He came to my clinic.
(Inaudible)
What?
It's time to get a daughter-in-law.
Before your son ruins my reputation anymore...
...we better get him married.
Yes but have you found a wealthy family yet?
Please remain quiet.
What's wrong?
Keep quiet, dad.
It's better you don't know about this.
What has my son done after all?
Will you stay quiet, dad?
All right, let's get our son married.
But you must consult with him first.
If you let him have things his way...
...disaster will befall soon.
We'll loose face!
What exactly has happened?
We can't marry him off to just about anybody!
Our son is an engineer.
(Message Received Tone)
We can't marry him off to just about anybody!
Our son is an engineer.
Dear god!
Ask the priest to find a suitable match.
Anybody family will do...
...as long as the bride is female.
A quick wedding will fix it all.
Dear god!
Done.
Why three cups?
You look good in full pants.
(Clearing Throat)
Anything special?
(Shouts)
Who...
To answer your question, I am Akash.
But why?
The answer to that is to meet you.
- How did you come... - I opened the door and got in.
- What do you... - I do work. I'm not jobless.
- But what... - What do I do? Business.
Why come here?
To marry.
Who?
Daughter.
Whose?
Yours.
- Since when? - About a month.
- Your dad? - He's alive.
He's a school teacher.
Private?
Government.
- Tea? - Of course.
Have it.
Thank you.
How do I finish my questions?
Did you...
I liked him.
May I finish my question?
Sure?
When will your parents visit me?
Hello.
What do you do?
(Stammering)
Cooking videos on YouTube.
(Laughs)
But we cook in the house.
Not like that. I'm a YouTuber.
I make YouTube on food.
No, I'm a YouTuber...
...and upload cooking videos.
Yes.
He has a channel on YouTube.
Rashikbhai ni recipe.
He has 400k subscribers.
- Great! - 400k?
I mean 400,000.
I see.
That's a yes from us.
Yes.
Well, then you have our approval too.
Let's ask the priest for an auspicious date.
Done.
Yes.
He means we'll do it.
I see. Okay.
Please have rissoles.
Let's be done with the wedding first.
(Laughs)
Come here, child.
Here's a token of love from us.
Join our family soon...
...and give me a grandson!
What was your mom saying?
I'm telling you, I don't want a child soon.
I want to go for outings after marriage and live my dreams.
No conceiving early.
Why do you worry?
Trust me, it'll be fine.
I'll manage it all.
Promise?
Meaning?
Trust me.
Akash!

(Crickets Chirping)
Hello.
- Sorry. - All well?
Yes, they finally got married.
I can't wait to see my grand kids.
That will take time, uncle.
Why?
Because of me.
Who are you?
Nannu.
What a strange name!
My grandma chose it.
Why?
She had a lisp.
So?
She couldn't pronounce 'd".
So she couldn't say Nandu!
Who's Nandu?
Me.
My name is Nandu.
Granny turned it into Nannu.
In that case, she can't abuse either, right?
You haven't taken my blessings yet!
Wait for me.
Saved!
(Indistinct Chatter)
Where were you?
I was on my way.
Your father-in-law...
...is eager to play with his grand kids.
Don't let him.
No way.
Kavya has refused...
...for now.
I haven't settled down yet.
Why waste time? Did you get it?
Great!
- Go. - Really?
Push me.
Go.
(Crickets Chirping)
With Kavya around...
...I'm confident.
Hey, I got milk for you.
What happened?
What's the problem with your family?
They just want a baby!
I got married just now.
I don't want a child yet.
Why are they in a hurry?
What?
I told you I'll handle it.
- Really? - Yes.
How so?
I'll use protection.
Where's it?
I was careful.
Look.
It was right here.
Where did it go?
I'll check.
Making excuses?
You mean no protection?
Then go to sleep.
Listen...
Now...
Look...
Well...
I'll have it.
(Birds Chirping)
Forgive me...
...I'm leaving with my boyfriend.
Yes, I'm talking about Rohan.
We have been in a relationship since 6 years.
I'm sure you're wondering...
...why I didn't elope before marriage.
Actually, this was Rohan's plan.
My dad doesn't like Rohan.
But I can't live without Rohan.
You always say...
...you'll manage.
Now manage this as well.
I had no other way out, Akash.
Hence, I'm leaving with all the money...
...and jewellery gifted by your family.
You're very nice.
You'll find a girl way better than me.
Forgive me, Akash.
Your's Kavya.
Mom!
Dad!
What happened?
Such betrayal!
Such lies!
With me!
(Background Music)
This marriage was...
...staged!
Why me?
Now I better believes what everyone says.
I truly am ill-fated.
Nannu is right.
I am an idiot.
I don't understand anything.
She planned her exit and left behind...
Tea?
No, I mean she left me.
Will you have tea?
(Laughs)
Dad!
Kavya is right here.
I know she's here.
You were in cahoots with her!
Obviously! Kavya told us everything.
Why didn't you tell us that you liked Kavya?
You wouldn't have to resort to such shameless tricks.
What happened? Who screamed?
I did! Do what you will.
Why are we still here?
Leave them alone.
- Let's go. - Yes.
You too.
Put tv voice slow.
Why did you do this?
I didn't want your family...
...to think you're gay.
How did you like the planning?
Kavya, you've changed after marriage.
Really?
Kavya!
Please call Akash and check...
...where he has reached.
Right away, mom.
I'll hang up.
(Engine Revving)
(Phone Ringing)
Just a minute.
Hello.
Akash, mom wants to know what time you'll come home.
I'll be there soon.
Well, I tried calling you many times.
It was busy.
Yes, I was talking to Rohan.
Okay.
Listen...
Yes?
Did you get that?
What?
What you forgot last night.
Yes.
What did I forget?
What you must get today.
What is?
Silly!
Please continue.
(Laughs)
Nannu!
Akash! Welcome.
I was here to meet Nannu.
Where is he?
He's gone to Sitampur. He'll return tomorrow. Why?
Did you want something?
Yes, uncle.
No, uncle.
First you say yes then no.
Uncle, I did want something...
...but...
I got it.
Right away.
(Laughs)
Itching...
...will vanish.
Uncle, what are you saying. I'm not itching.
You never have?
Uncle, everyone faces it but...
...not today.
What happened to you today?
Well, I...
...want rubber band.
Rubber band?
Medical stores don't sell rubber band, Akash.
Uncle,
I...
Uncle...
...protection.
I want that rubber band.
I see.
You've grown up.
No...
You should've said so.
Which brand?
Uncle, I don't know much about it.
So any will do.
Yes.
- C'mon, uncle. - Let go.
How much?
45
How many does it contain?
3.
Only 3?
Uncle, you mean...
...15 bucks for once.
Not done.
It's expensive.
Don't worry. I have less expensive ones too.
Interested?
Yes please.
Wait...
How much?
Nice.
30 bucks!
I see and how many does it contain?
5
5!
A pack of 5.
That means I'll get 30 in 6 packets.
That's for a month.
I can afford once a day.
Yes.
It's the best rubber band in town.
Trendy.
Want it?
Uncle, please do.
Pack it.
Here.
Thank you.
Take the change.
Thank you.
(Soft Music Playing In The Background)
Shall we go home?
Why?
(Train Horn Blaring)
Well...
...let's make love.
What else do we do?
Bag? Are you going somewhere?
Yes, home.
Dad has been calling since many days.
He's not keeping well.
I'll go stay there for some days.
You should've told me.
I'd drop you.
No, I told Rohan.
We spoke a while ago. He's headed that way.
He'll drop me.
But why Rohan?
You ask too many questions.
(Horn Honks)
He's here.
Let me.
What took you so long? I've been waiting.
(Birds Chirping)
Call me when you reach.
Yes.
(Engine Revving)
Finally, that villain...
...took off with woman...
...while I stood there...
...waving.
If you're missing Kavya...
...bring her back.
Congratulations!
Madam...
...congratulations.
Have sweets.
What's the commotion?
Have sweets, grandpa.
- Congrats. - Have some, son.
You made me so happy!
What's happened?
"There shall be showers of blessings"
"I'm to be a grandpa."
"You shall be a grandma"
"I'm to be a grandpa."
"There shall be showers of blessings."
Wait!
I'd like to speak to Kavya.
You're impatient!
You can talk to her later.
No.
Kavya...
(Birds Chirping)
What's going on?
- What did I tell you? - What?
I don't want to conceive soon.
Then how did it happen?
That's what I'm asking.
How?
You'd said you'll use protection.
I did!
You lied to me.
You cheated me...
...to appease your family.
- You... - Yes.
You didn't keep your promise, Akash.
I'd told you before marriage I won't conceive soon.
It's not about conceiving sooner or later.
The question is...
...how did you conceive!
What do you mean?
Madam, I'm not an idiot.
You can't fool me.
Am I fooling you?
Yes.
How so?
Tell me.
What's cooking between you and Rohan?
What?
He and I... What are you implying?
- (Background Music) - I understand everything.
What?
Get to the point.
What get to the point?
Can't I see things?
You hide in corners with your phone...
...talking to Rohan!
What he is saying?
This isn't about Rohan...
...but our unborn child.
Our unborn child...
...or yours?
You...
Do you mean to say...
...this isn't your child?
That means...
...that's not Akash's child!
What are they saying?
I don't understand.
I...
Not everything is expressed.
Akash!
How could you say that?
What do I say then?
Tell me.
Explain to me.
Say something...
...so I can trust you.
A strong relation...
...needs no excuse or explanations.
All you need is trust.
And that is missing here.
I'm leaving.
You're leaving me?
For him?
You left me, Akash!
When you don't trust me...
...why should I live with you?
Leave me.
"I pray, don't punish me in ways"
"I can't bear."
"I pray, don't punish me in ways"
"I can't bear."
"You're the purpose of my life."
"But I can't express it to you"
"I seek your hand."
"Whose hands do I hold now?"
"My eyes want to see you."
"They seek you everywhere."
"Don't forsake me and leave."
"Stay back for some reason."
"Don't go away."
"Stay back for some reason."
"Who shall be my all now?"
"Who do I consider mine now?"
"I have no desires without you around."
"I'd rather die."
"My heart yearns for you."
"It beats only for you."
"My eyes want to see you."
"They seek you everywhere."
"Don't forsake me and leave."
"Stay back for some reason."
"Don't forsake me and leave."
"Stay back for some reason."
"Please stay."
"What good are embers..."
"...that stopped glowing without you?"
"What good are nights..."
"...that seem dull without you?"
"Don't forsake me and leave."
"Stay back for some reason."
"Don't forsake me and leave."
"Stay back for some reason."
Sometimes I'd feel bad...
...that grandpa was always silenced.
(Birds Chirping)
But that day I realised...
...why he wasn't allowed to speak.
You see grandpa is Internet personified.
Asking him to stay quiet kept him in check.
That day mom wasn't vigilant...
...and disaster befell.
What? Akash is not the father?
Yes, Akash is not the father.
How do you know?
I heard it.
What? Akash is not the father?
Akash is not the father?
What? Akash is not the father?
(Indistinct Chatter)
Akash is not the father?
Kavya, what have you done?
The whole of Banaras is talking.
What about?
That Akash is not the father of your child.
- What? - Tell me...
...who did you accomplish this with?
(Soft Music Playing In The Background)
Madam!
I'd gladly offer help.
I too have a double bed. Try me.
Madam, shower me with your love.
(Laughs)
Great!
(Crying)
Wonder who sired that child!
Wow madam! You're fast.
Uncle, get her some water.
So hot!
Hello.
Nothing can be done now.
- Never. - Don't worry.
I'll speak to him.
(Crying)
Akash...
...I don't think Kavya would do this.
You know...
...she's facing great humiliation!
Everyone in the city knows of this.
What do I do?
What do you mean?
Find out.
Find out how this happened.
We'll see.
(Cicada Chirping)
I forbade you many times.
I used protection, right?
Shut up.
What will we tell the kids?
And your mother!
She will eat me up alive.
I had no idea it could rupture.
Shut up.
How it could rupture?
I had no idea it could tear.
Look, I knew you'd come here.
How so?
Akash, it's normal.
Normal?
Uncle, my life has turned upside down...
...and you say it's normal!
Look, this isn't the first case.
This is the third case in this area within a week.
I guess Nannu's...
...rubber band is faulty.
He sold it to you as well.
No, uncle.
Nannu is my friend.
He can't deceive me.
Besides
I'll get to the bottom of this.
Forget it, son.
Just bring your wife home happily.
You're right, uncle.
I have to bring Kavya back.
With Kavya around...
...I am confident.
The day I learnt.
(Birds Chirping)
Kavya was not to blame...
...I ran all the way to her house.
And I was...
...posed with a new...
...hurdle.
Kavya!
She's inside.
Kavya...
(Background Music)
Why didn't you answer my calls?
I've been calling you.
Why?
Because.
I'm here to take you home.
Why?
Because I love you.
Really?
So you know what love means?
I know you're mad at me.
But I just learnt something.
Look.
It's not your fault but...
What good will this do?
My reputation has been ruined.
Every other person teases me.
They say dirty things to me.
I can barely step out of the house, Akash.
My friend called me to ask...
...who I slept with!
And you want me to go home with you?
Did you even think about my child?
All his life people will call him names.
And dad!
He's embarrassed as hell.
And this is all your doing.
If you want me to...
...come back home...
...then restore my child's...
...and dad's lost honour.
The day our honour is restored...
...I'll come back home.
Can you do that?
Go.
Please go.
(Train Horn Blaring)
If you want me to...
...come back home...
...then restore my child's...
...and dad's lost honour.
The day our honour is restored...
...I'll come back home.
I thought all night...
...but came up with nothing.
Then I turned to god...
...to ask why am I the only one...
...facing all the problems in the world.
(Temple Bell)
In return, God gave me a weapon...
...to use against the world.
Idea.
What are you two up to?
You guys are more famous than Mr Modi!
That's why I called you here.
Come.
How did this all start?
All because of your rubber band.
That's impossible.
I gave you the most expensive one.
I couldn't use that one.
No wonder!
No! When I entered the room...
...it wasn't in my pocket.
How so?
I'm sure someone stole it.
C'mon!
This!
Oh yes.
What now?
I've decided.
What?
I'll sue that condom company.
Okay.
Have you lost it?
I'm fine.
I have a plan.
Share it with me.
You see I learnt something.
What?
The thing is...
(Inaudible)
That's it.
Who will fight your case?
You.
Look, nobody's with me.
Please don't forsake me, brother.
You're the only one who can fight this case.
You will, right?
No!
Fight the case it seems.
I'm a fan of rubber band.
Am I to sue the product I earn from?
You don't have to sue all brands.
Just sue one company.
Which?
The one that caused this mess.
We care.
You're the one who taught me everything.
What?
You said rubber band is safe.
It offers protection.
It never ruptures.
Look what's happened.
You trusted the rubber band and I trusted you.
We both were duped.
Who suffered in the bargain?
Who?
You.
How so?
Who gives rubber bands to all in this area?
I sell them.
Yes.
If you keep getting such complaints...
...whose reputation will suffer?
Yes.
Oh no.
What's the problem?
Look...
...I did study law.
- Okay? - Yes.
Let alone practice, I never even visited the court.
So?
This case is baseless with no witnesses.
There is a witness.
- There is? - Yes.
You had sex in someone's presence?
What are you saying? It's my wife.
I'm the witness.
Kavya and I.
But you're the victim.
I'm talking about witness, evidence.
Did someone see you necking...
What's the problem?
The truth is that...
...the condom company led to this mess.
No matter what happens...
...you have to prove this.
It's a huge company.
So...
There was an alcohol company.
That was huge too.
He siphoned off money and fled.
Did he win?
No.
He had to flee this country.
What?
How is this connected?
We'll do the same...
...with this company.
You needn't fret.
I'll handle everything.
I swear upon river Ganga, I'll handle it.
I mean it.
(Birds Chirping)
(Bike Approaching)
(Bell)
Kavya, see this.
What's this?
(Phone Ringing)
Thus happened an explosion in my life.
I faced the explosion...
...and Nanny faced the brunt of it all.
What happened?
Bloody hell!
Karuna Razdan!
You know her?
Lost it. Come.
How did we lose without fighting?
Do you know who you're up against?
Me?
I mean we.
Do you know who we're up against?
Who?
That's Karuna Razdan.
She hasn't lost a single case.
She was a visiting lecturer in my college.
Wow! The you must've...
I got slapped by her.
I'm sure she'll win this case.
Come.
Nothing like that.
We will win this case.
Take them on, bro.
I'll handle the rest.
Really.
Sit.
(Chair Creak)
Karuna, it's you!
Yes.
You fight supreme court cases.
What brings you here today?
Sir...
...people have started suing for petty reasons...
...so I had to come.
Never mind.
Glad to have met you again.
Yes.
(Clearing Throat)
All right, let's begin.
What's the case?
Speak.
What?
Tell them about the case.
Sir, my client's condom ruptured.
That's no basis for a case...
...because there's no login in this.
Hey mister!
What's your name?
Nannu.
Narendra Tripathi aka Nannu.
Nannu, is this your first time in court?
Don't you know your phone should be silent?
Yes, sir.
Sorry, I'll be careful.
Okay.
Karuna, please proceed.
Sir, I have a few questions for Akash.
- Akash? - Yes.
Akash!
Don't stand there. Step in the witness box.
Yes.
(Footsteps)
Your name?
Akash.
Akash Chaudhary.
What do you do?
I own a grocery store.
I manage it.
Well...
...when this incident happened...
...I mean, when did this happen?
Well...
...in the night.
Night?
Yes.
What happened at night?
Please explain in detail.
What rubbish is this?
Hey!
What did you say?
This is a court.
This is not done.
Exactly, sir. This is not done.
What do you mean?
She's asking him to explain the night in detail.
My client isn't ready.
Calm down.
Calm.
- Yes, Karuna. - Yes?
Please proceed.
Okay.
So, Akash, what happened that night?
That night...
Yes, that night.
I went to meet Nannu...
...at his medical store.
Oh!
So you met Nannu.
No.
He was in Sitampur.
I met his dad.
Then?
Then.
Then?
Then...
What did you buy from the medical store?
I...
bought rubber band by We Care.
Rubber band?
Well...
...condom.
Oh, condom!
(Clearing Throat)
So tell me...
...what did you do with it?
What are you saying, madam?
I used it as intended.
Can you explain...
...using that condom, I mean...
...your so called rubber band...
...how many times did you have sex?
- Sir... - How many times?
- 27
28
How does he know?
I mean, not with this condom.
28 times using 28 condoms.
That's what Akash mentioned.
Point to be noted, milord.
Even their usage numbers don't match.
Look...
...it's a box of 30.
Two are remaining so 28 have been used.
You're good at math.
But where is the proof?
I have it.
Here it is.
Both his knowledge and evidence...
...are incomplete.
Nannu, where's the bill?
Bill?
I don't have it.
Who makes a bill for this?
It is very clear, sir.
When they have no proof of having bought our product...
...how will they prove...
...they used our product?
That's all.
Would you like to say something?
Do you have evidence?
Sir, this is all I have.
Nannu, this is a court room.
We need evidence...
...that too in writing. Do you have it?
No.
Yes, I do.
Show me.
I can't.
I'll show it on the next hearing, sir.
Are you mocking the court?
Don't waste the court's time.
The court doesn't care if your...
...rubber band or bags rupture.
Got it, sir. I'm sorry.
Please grant us some time.
I'll get proof in the next hearing.
You're expected to have the proof as you sued them.
Right.
You should've come prepared.
Give me a chance, sir.
Next date please.
Karuna...
...kids want a date.
There is no point.
Okay, sir. It's your wish.
Okay, I'll write the next date.
Thank you, sir.
Look...
Ugh, Akash!
I'm ashamed of you.
Why are you doing this?
Why did you have to do this?
Haven't you done enough already?
Then you say you love me!
Why?
(Sobbing)
What's her problem?
I am.
Forget it.
Nannu, where are you these days?
I've heard you're a lawyer now.
I can be grim reaper for you too!
Get lost.
(Vehicle Passing By)
See...
Hey...
We're sure to lose.
I got into this for you...
...but we have no evidence.
Don't worry. I'll handle everything.
Yeah I'm sure.
Tell me one thing.
Have you kept your used condoms?
No way! What are you saying?
Who keeps used stuff?
Then why sue?
You're right.
What?
Hold on.
- Come. - Where to?
Come, I'll tell you.
Why have we come here?
I threw it from here.
Wonder where they went.
- Akash! - Yes.
I asked you to cover the tank with a lid.
Why don't you do it?
Do I have to leave home like Kavya...
...for you to do it?
It gets filled with trash.
The water flow is restricted.
I'll get it done, mom.
You should keep it covered.
It's rightly said...
...always obey your mother.
Sir, I've submitted a copy of the bill.
It proves my client Akash Chaudhary...
...used rubber band from We Care.
The product wasn't a success...
...hence, his wife Kavya Chaudhary is now pregnant.
Sir, I'd like to question an employee...
...of We Care Pvt LTD, Ashish Dubey.
Ashish Dubey.
Mr Dubey, what does your father do?
He's a priest.
And you?
I'm the head of quality of We Care company.
How long have you been doing this job?
8 years.
Sir, point to be pointed.
Mr Dubey, what material is used to...
...make your company's rubber band?
Well, C12 latex material.
Sir, point to be noted.
Mr Dubey, the packet also mentions...
...the expiry date.
- Yes. - What's the duration?
5 years.
- 5 years? - Yes.
Sir, point to be pointed.
Mr Dubey, tell us...
...if the condom isn't sold in shops...
...does the company take it back or is it a one time deal?
- Well, once sold... - Yes?
So the deal is over, right?
- Yes. - Sir, point to be pointed.
Hey! What note about you are talking?
Hey! What's with noting the points?
Sir, I note this point.
Good.
The point to be noted is that.
We Care company's rubber is such low quality that people don't use it.
Customers don't repurchase it.
So what happens is the product expires lying unused in the shops.
The same happened with my client.
Akash Chaudhary was in a hurry and bought the packet given the offer.
- Objection, your honour. - Sustained.
I mean, proceed Karuna.
Your honour, we've submitted IRMC's report.
Oh.
Guess Nannu hasn't done his homework.
Nannu?
What can he say, sir?
Rubber band seller aka LLB Mr Narendra Tripathi!
Look sir...
...the one who used the rubber band spoke for himself.
- And... - Nannu, I told you last time...
...to provide documented report.
- Secondly... - It's okay, your honour.
I'll sort this out today.
I want Akash in the witness box.
(Laughs)
Okay.
(Footsteps)
So, Akash, that night...
...you came up with a new term, rubber band.
Yes, so did you wear it yourself or did someone assist you?
That's a vulgar question!
One has to wear the rubber band by himself.
Stay calm and sit down.
Karuna, carry on.
Your qualification?
Well...
Your education?
I've studied engineering.
Wow, engineering. Good.
Kashi, had me that packet.
Yeah.
Open this...
...and show the court how you use this.
What?
Yes.
Karuna, this is a court. What are you making him do?
I know this is a court.
- Okay. - Open it...
...and show everyone how you use this. C'mon.
C'mon!
(Rustle)
Judge, the whole court saw...
...though Akash is educated...
...he didn't read the instruction and threw it.
The packet clearly mentions handle with care.
If he doesn't read the instructions...
...he's bound to go wrong, sir.
It wouldn't be wrong to surmise...
...this product got ruptured or damaged...
...by his nails.
And Mr Tripathi, this shows...
...your client is careless, right?
This is all your fault, mister.
The whole court saw this. That's all, your honour.
Does the prosecution have any question?
- Sir, using an expired product... - Please Nannu!
Don't mention expiration again.
It's the customer's fault. They should check.
- How can they? - Sir...
...who remembers this when they're sexually excited?
Let alone checking the date...
...people buying rubber band are so embarrassed...
...they end up buying candies instead!
You tell me, have you ever checked the expiry date?
But instructions should be read well.
(Gasps)
Karuna, you're right about that.
(Laughs)
- But... - Do you have a used condom?
- Yes, I do. - Show it.
Give it.
Here.
- Yuck! - Sir.
Here you go.
What's this?
You asked for used condoms.
Have you lost it?
- Why? - Take that away.
Quick!
Yuck!
Guess Tripathi is serious about this.
(Spritz)
Sorry, sir.
Sorry it seems!
Get this tested in a laboratory.
Also get a DNA test done.
Let's see what his DNA brings up.
(Birds Chirping)
(Music)
Won't you talk to me?
What do I say?
I was wrong about you.
I never imagined you'd do this for money.
You put your wife and child's honour stake for money.
(Crying)
Leave me.
- Sir, I have new witnesses. - Okay.
Objection, your honour.
- He didn't send prior notice. - I did.
I did send it at 9 last night.
- You'll get it by evening. - 9?
Nannu, who sends a notice at 9 pm?
Can't help it, sir. I found the witness at 8!
So I sent the notice within an hour.
I have a copy.
Here.
Okay, proceed.
- But your honour... - He sent it, Karuna.
Let the kids speak. Makes no difference.
Proceed.
Don't waste the court's time.
Yes.
I'd like to question Suryakant Tripathi, owner of the medical store.
Call him.
Hello, sir.
You're winking at me!
No, sir. I'll explain. He had paralysis in childhood.
He somehow managed to recover with the help of yoga.
But his eye isn't cured completely.
Okay, proceed.
Mr Tripathi, do you know him?
Yes, I do.
Is he the one you sold We Care rubber band to that night?
Yes, I did.
Why did you sell We Care's product?
Because there was an offer on it.
How would the offer benefit you?
- Commission. - Commission or profit?
No, profit.
But you just said commission.
Sir, note this point.
I mean point to be noted.
A shopkeeper gets profit on sales not commission...
...but he said commission.
Everyone knows why companies introduce offers.
Mr Tripathi, who gives you commission?
The company was to give me commission.
The company.
And this company offered a commission to Dr Narayan as well?
- Yes. - How much?
14%
So, Mr Narayan is also involved in this.
No...
You just admitted he was to get 14% commission.
C'mon!
Sir, my esteemed colleague...
Ms Razdan may cross question.
Mr Tripathi, are you married?
Yes, I am.
How many kids do you have?
I have only one son.
There he is.
One son? That means you truly love your son.
Yes, he's dearer than life.
No wonder, you agreed to...
...falsely testify for his sake.
It's very clear, your honour.
He presented his dad as witness as he found nobody else.
- Fabulous, Nannu! - Meaning?
You should've paid attention in her class.
- Nannu. - Yes, sir.
- Do you have any other witness. - Dr Narayan.
Call him.
Yes, son.
Dr Narayan, I have a lot to ask you.
Tell us your name.
Dr Narayan.
Full name.
Dr Udit Narayan.
What do you do?
- I'm a gynecologist. - I see.
Tell me, is it possible...
...for a rubber band to rupture?
Yes, it's possible.
- It is possible. - Yes.
Dr Narayan...
...how many cases have you seen in 6 months...
...where women got pregnant in spite of using rubber band?
- Well... - Objection, your honour.
Objection over ruled.
- Sorry. - Thank you, sir.
How many cases, doctor?
Around 60-65...
- ...60-65? - Yes.
Great.
Sir, he's a famous doctor in that area.
There's no other clinic for miles where he practices.
Wealthy people in big cars pay him visits.
One such vehicle is frequently seen outside your clinic.
A white Fortuner.
- Whose car is it? - Mr Upadhyay.
Yes, so he's your friend.
- Yes. - He's your friend.
- Not close. - Not a close friend.
They're friends, Karuna.
Right?
Objection, your honour. What kind of a question is this?
It's a simple question.
It's very simple, your honour.
Mr Narayan and Atul Upadhyay are friends.
They both distributed this defective product in all shops.
That gives him double benefit.
One, defective products made by his friend will get sold all over.
Thus, he'd get a 14% commission.
Second, using that product...
...women would get pregnant and his client would increase...
...and it did with 65 cases.
- Right? - Yes.
And our idiot...
I mean Akash is anyway ill-fated.
He got a low grade expired product!
- Objection, your honour. - Sustained.
The company has submitted its quality report.
As for profit or expiry date...
...Akash will answer your question.
- Yes. - Come, Akash.
(Footsteps)
Akash, all companies do this...
...to increase profits in business.
You also run a small business.
I'd like to ask you and all buyers...
...isn't it your duty...
...to check the expiry date of products you buy?
Madam...
...I'm always cautious...
...not to sell products after expiry date.
You're also right in a way.
A customer should check products before buying.
Expiry dates should be checked.
Sir, I understand...
...a common man burdened by...
...his family's responsibilities...
...toils all day long.
He doesn't really remember to check the expiry date.
Hence, we take this responsibility.
You tell me, being a small shop keeper...
...if I can take up this responsibility...
...why can't a giant company do that?
They should check for defective products...
...bad quality and expiry date.
If anything's wrong, they should destroy that product.
Oh! If you're so responsible...
...why didn't you check and buy the product?
Because that product was a condom!
- So? This is the 21st century. - Exactly my point!
This is the 21st century and yet 50% schools...
...don't impart sex education.
Sir, do you know how the ambiance is in schools teaching this?
During sex education class...
...half kids feel shy and the others mock it.
Do you know why?
Because we haven't prepared our kids mentally.
Ridiculous.
Your honour, how's this related to the case?
It is, madam.
How?
You see, kids are future youths.
I alone am not wrong here...
...but the society is.
We hide what we should explain.
Our youths know about porn stars...
...but they don't know about safe sex.
Sir, we don't tell them about products...
...that can save our dear ones from deadly illnesses.
Try buying it and see how you're treated.
You'll be made it feel as if you're committing a sin.
Your honour, Akash is misleading the court.
No, madam. I'm making the court see reason.
Sir, condoms are sold or bought in this country.
They are smuggled in paper bags...
...or black bags.
Tell me...
...will you check the expiry date of smuggled goods?
- Hence, I filed this case... - (Background Music)
...so the world understands that...
...condoms aren't used by creeps but responsible people.
Gentlemen!
(Claps)
Please continue.
Done with your filmy drama?
If this is what you intended, why did you sue the company for 5 million?
Milord, this man claiming 5 million...
- ...is greedy... - Needy.
I'm needy, madam.
Sir, my wife and I...
...weren't prepared to raise a child.
My wife wanted to fulfill her dreams.
I am yet to get settled.
How will I raise a child?
Hence, the claim.
Now, that money will give my child a nice life.
- Such overconfidence! - It's confidence, madam.
This confidence didn't come easy.
It's all thanks to my love.
With Kavya around, I'm confident.
Please, Akash, the court doesn't care about your saga.
The court wants proof, right?
- Indeed. - Yes.
(Paper Rustle)
Here it is, sir.
Sir, the rubber band Akash used that night was defective.
Here's the report...
...along with the DNA test.
Such defective condoms are sold in all shops to this day.
Sir, wonder how many others have suffered like me.
Company owners cheat us for money.
Many people never voice out.
I did.
Sir, what more can a poor man do?
(Temple Bell)
All right, let's call it a day.
We'll continue tomorrow. Thank you.
(Footsteps)
Madam, I presented all witnesses.
What now?
Don't! Don't show me your attitude...
...because you won't be able to handle mine.
I don't prefer speaking in English...
...but I love pooping in western commodes!
(Gasps)
Mess with honchos and invite their wrath.
Take a look.
Look at the time.
I told you we'll win.
What's wrong?
They closed down the court half hour early.
That day I realised the power of money.
I was shattered.
We lost the case...
...and reputation too.
(Birds Chirping)
(Temple Bell)
Why did you stop? Slap me.
Your son failed again.
No, son.
I didn't raise my hand to hit you...
...but to pat your back.
Son, doesn't matter if win or lose this case.
I taught kids all my life...
...but you transformed the society's thinking in one sweep.
What is it you always say?
A condom buyer isn't a creep but a gentleman.
Get down.
Repeat after me.
A condom buyer isn't a creep but a gentleman.
A gentleman.
Loudly.
- Gentleman. - Repeat with me.
A condom buyer isn't a creep but a gentleman.
(Crying)
Welcome to.
Rasikbhai ni recipe.
Our recipe for today...
...is life.
(Sobbing)
It's flavoured by truth.
I'll share something with you today.
No matter what the court decides...
...I know my daughter and her husband aren't wrong.
Hence, I'm uploading this video...
...so the truth will out.
Watch this...
...and decide...
...if they are wrong or not.
I'm ready to face the consequences.
Thank you.
I alone am not wrong here but the society is.
We hide what we should explain.
Our youths know about porn stars...
...but they don't know about safe sex.
Sir, condoms are sold or bought in this country.
They are smuggled in paper bags or black bags.
Hence, I filed this case...
...so the world understands that condoms aren't used by creeps...
...but gentlemen.
Gentlemen!
(Serious Background Music)
Considering all testimonies and evidence...
...the court levies a fine of 10,000 on Mr Suryakant Tripathi...
...and fine of 50,000 on Dr Narayan...
...and suspends his medical license for 6 months.
We Care condoms should be recalled from the markets.
Considering the sample test report of the product...
...under IPC section 415, 417...
...418, 420 and 499...
...We Care company is guilty.
The company has to pay 50 million in damage claims...
...and its license is hereby cancelled.
This court is adjourned.
(Birds Chirping)
That's all good...
...but what happened to Nannu?
Nannu?
(Laughs)
There were long queues.
Next.
I'm hungry now.
(Car Stopped Sound)
The car's here.
Is that your daughter?
Yes, our daughter.
- Let's go. - Quiet, grandpa.
(Laughs)
Come.
Get in the car.
That's called karma.
- Dad taught you that. - No, I didn't.
(Door Close)
Get in.
