So, for the next six months we will
live like people lived during the 70s or the 80s.
Means, no phones.
No laptops, no gadgets.
Grandpa, you're joking, right?
No, kiddo.
Do I look like a joker to you?
I am damn serious.
I am going on a world tour after six months.
And before I leave I would like
to spend quality time with my family.
Perhaps, I may return after two to three years.
I wish to leave with some memories.
A few sweet moments of time
spent with the family.
That's why, I wish to buy your time.
But, grandpa, how do we function without our phones and gadgets?
Just like people did in the 80s.
But, that was a different time, dad.
Yes, I know. That's what I am paying for.
Listen, Kunal, you and Simran can't earn the amount of money
I will give you in six months, even in the next five years.
Son, then you won't have
anything left to stress about. - But, father...
What will Avni and Vivaan do with so much money?
Avni will get funds for her start up.
Vivaan can invest in his future.
He can go overseas and study.
Yes, I will get funds for my vlogging institute too.
But, how can I vlog without gadgets?
I work with numerology on the computer.
How can I do it without one?
Actually, my coding... - My gaming and social media?
All the work, the database, the designs, the
references. How will all of that get done?
That is not my problem.
And if any one of you doesn't wish to participate
in the digital fasting, you don't have to.
But, once you say yes, you must follow the rules.
What rules?
Rule number one.
Your personal telephone and your personal gadgets
will be handed over to me for the next six months.
Then, how will we communicate with each other? - With words, dear.
A landline will be set up at home for your convenience.
Just like it used to be.
Rule number two.
The Alexa and all the other smart gadgets in the house
must be taken away.
You see
when you go out of the house, I can't monitor you.
Your 'Zameer' (scruples) will monitor you there.
Who is 'Zameer?'
That means the conscience, son. Conscience.
And if anyone breaks the rules, no money for him or her.
But, what if there is a medical emergency?
Patience, be patient. Calm down.
In case of any medical emergency or any SOS situation
you can always use technology
from an outside source.
Now, if you are all agreeable I will transfer Rs. 500,000 each
into your accounts, right away.
You will get the remaining 9.5 million after 6 months.
After successfully completing the challenge.
Any questions?
So, are you all in it?
Yes!
Nobody will move at jet speed in this house any more.
We will all
sail at a very easy pace, at a few nautical miles per hour.
We will savour the joy of life.
While spending time together.
Mind you all.
I will be ghost watching.
And in my absence
she will be ghost watching you.
So beware.
Okay.
Oh.
So tell me. What do you think of my idea?
What do you mean, why am I doing all this?
I am trying to take them into an era when there was simplicity.
There was stability. You were there.
That was our era.
Cheers.
It's only my second drink.
You fixed the quota. I won't drink more than that, okay?
To you.
Avni, can I sit in your room for some time today? - Why?
I feel scared without my phone. - Coward!
I am scared too. Come.
What does grandpa want?
Apparently, he wants to give us 1 CR.
I think, he only wants to torture us.
Grandma has become sedative.
Sadistic?
That's it. Whatever.
Why does your English language run so hot and cold?
What will you do with 1 CR, by the way?
I will buy a Ferrari.
What's the point? You can't drive it anyway. You are 16 years old.
If that is true, can people who have private jets fly them?
No, right?
Status symbols are for real, you know.
Fair enough.
Anyway, the Ferrari will come when it does.
But, right now I feel like an orphan.
I feel like a digital orphan without my parental gadgets.
What game is father playing with us?
I don't know.
How will we survive without technology?
I don't know.
How will I cook without the microwave and kitchen appliances?
I don't know. - How will I shop online?
I don't know! - Oh!
Why do you keep saying I don't know?
I don't know. - Kunal!
I can't sleep!
You can't sleep anyway. - I know, right?
But, think of this. We will get 1 CR each after six months.
But, how do we live through these six months?
I don't know.
"Radio chatter."
Ria, Ria.
Wake up.
Not now, you ****!
Kunal!
Yes.
Good morning, son. - Good morning, dad.
Dad, if you've finished reading the paper, give it to me.
Son, get another. I will need some time.
I am used to reading online.
I haven't read a physical newspaper since many years.
So order another one from tomorrow or
come sit with me. I will read it to you.
What is this? Honestly!
Good morning, dear.
Good morning, father. - What is it?
I missed my online Yoga class. - Oh no.
You will miss it daily now.
Hire a physical instructor from tomorrow.
I can also teach you a bit.
I made you some tea. It's inside.
Thank you. - Welcome.
Give me some too. - Yes.
Hi, grandpa. What are you doing? - Hi.
I am playing poker, dear.
But grandpa, you said everyone is on a digital fast for six months.
Then, what is this?
Sweetie, I told all of you.
I am not included in that.
I am the ringmaster of the circus and all you people are jokers.
Okay?
Anything important?
No, sorry. Mom has called you for breakfast.
Yes, I will come at once.
Avni. - Yes?
Next time you come, knock before you enter.
Please respect my privacy.
Yes, grandpa.
Give me half, dear.
Glass. - Here.
I will take it.
Hello?
Grandpa, some girl has called for you.
That must be Captain Neerja.
Hello. Neerja! So you got my message?
Yes, we can catch up. - I'll walk backwards
so I don't see it. Right?
But... - I thought this is also...
I don't know how we will stay in touch. - Hi, uncle.
Okay.
Hey, Vivaan!
Hi, Vivaan. - Hi, Tina.
You have a lovely smile, Tina.
You should be called Katrina, not Tina.
How cute! You take after your uncle, don't you?
He's my brave boy. Is that your taxi?
Yes. That's mine.
Okay, I wrote my number on the notepad.
So, if you can't text, then...
Yes.
Call me. - Of course I will. - Okay?
Bye, Tina.
Keep smiling.
Bye.
Take care.
Sonny! Are you intruding into your uncle's territory?
No, uncle. The disciple never competes with the guru. - Okay.
I was just displaying a little example of your training.
Well, you've passed with flying colours.
May you live long. May you have immovable power.
But uncle, there is a problem. - What?
How does one contact one's girlfriend,
while one is digital fasting?
That's a very grim problem, son.
It's currently being researched.
As soon as I get the vaccine, you will get your dose too. - Done.
Meanwhile, concentrate on your studies. - Yes.
Getting romantic!
Dad. Dad!
Did you call, son?
Yes. Dad, I forgot. What's the landline number of this place?
Unbelievable, son!
Did you forget so soon? Write it down.
26337672. - Hmm.
You lose a smartphone and everyone loses access to their memory?
As if you remember all the numbers?
I probably remember 50 odd numbers from my era, even now.
What are you saying? - Yes.
022589164. The number of the shipping corporation here.
011612102.
The number of the house in Defence Colony in Delhi.
0161488902.
The number of your uncle in Ludhiana.
And our clinic here?
0226362413.
Nowadays, you have to dial 2 first. - Listen...
Should I tell you more? - That's enough.
Stop. I believe you.
'Chacha Chaudhary's (comic character)
mind works faster than a computer.'
Did you write it down? - Yes.
Or you will forget it as soon as I leave. - No, no.
Hi, Simran. - Yes.
Oh hello, Mrs. Supadwala. How are you doing?
I am fine. Okay, is my design ready?
Yes, yes, it's absolutely ready. Let me show it to you.
Actually, my computer is not working.
So I worked on it all night manually.
What is this?
I have been vlogging for the past five years.
Send me a show reel or video link if you have it. I'll check.
Sir, I have it, but I can't share it.
What do you mean, Mr. Kumud?
The reasons are completely personal.
But, I could audition for you.
"Persian language."
- Relax!
Relax, Mr. Kumud, please sit down. - It's Kashmir...
I will share my company's product list with you.
You can share the vlog script with me, please.
Sir, I can't do that
for the next six months, either.
I don't have dates, sir.
You don't have dates and you applied
for work to be done after 6 months?
I really believe in advance planning, sir.
You can share your contact number
with us and we will get back to you.
Here's my card.
Mr. Kumud, this is your landline number.
Can you share your mobile number, please?
I don't have a mobile phone, sir.
You're a professional vlogger. And
you say you don't have a mobile phone?
Sir, I am practicing minimalism.
"Humming."
Oh! - Hi, grandpa. - Good evening! Hi, how are you?
Come.
Grandpa, what is all this?
Vintage look from the 70s.
Do you like it?
Here.
Time travel.
Back to future.
I really like the smell of this furniture.
I love it.
It's very cool, grandpa.
Thank you!
7,7,3,2, 7,7, 3.
Hi, dad. - Later.
I just came to say hi.
To say hi? Why?
Just like that.
You've never come to say hi just like that.
Grandpa gave the money too. What do you want?
Nothing, dad. Bye.
7, 7, 1, 7.
Yes? What?
What?
****!
Oh no!
Hi, mom. - Hi.
Where did you go? I was worried.
Actually, I went to the coffee shop with Nitya.
What could I do at home without a phone or laptop? - Yes.
What are you doing?
The same thing I used to do 20 years ago.
I am creating a design book for references.
Google is out of our lives, now.
How was your day?
Disconnected.
Yes. - Can I help? - Yes, please cut this.
Cut off her face? - Yes, cut it. Who needs her face?
Whoa! It seems, you went to all the shops.
I bought whatever I liked.
How did you withdraw the money?
I used Sukesh's dad's card.
I will pay him back later. I am rich now.
So why do you look so sad?
It's nothing, man. Major FOMO happening.
I can't live without my phone and laptop.
I knew you can't do it.
As if you're very happy.
Forget about me! Think of yourself.
You can't Whatsapp, chit chat or send DMs to your Sarah.
She will leave you and go away in six months.
Think about your coding. You will forget everything in 6 months.
And if you don't post on Insta, everyone will unfollow you.
What will you do about your online flirting?
You were spying on me?
No. But unfortunately, I am not deaf.
Cheapster! - Moron.
I will kiss you. - Get off me.
Come here. There's something on your face. - Get off me!
Go away! - Come here. Why?
How come you let down your date today, son?
Sacrifice.
One has to do that for family sometimes. - Hmm.
Since you brought up the family...
Do you intend to settle down at all or...
Will you keep
doing the tango all your life?
I haven't thought about anything yet.
I am happy with my life.
Grandpa, return my phone and laptop.
I am backing out from this challenge.
Son, it's not even been a day and you're already backing out?
Have patience. This is all for your own good.
I am 16 now. I can think of my own good.
Okay, Then you can return my money and I will return your phone.
But, I spent half of it.
Sorry, kiddo.
Until I get back Rs. 500,000, you don't get your phone back.
Okay, then. I will use the rest of the money to buy a new phone.
That's not allowed.
If you do that, you can't get into this house.
That's cheating!
What you are doing, that's cheating!
You can't stop me.
You don't know me.
What can you do? Hit me?
If you force me to, perhaps I will.
Just touch me and see. I will file a police complaint against you.
What? Mind your language!
Is this how you speak to your grandpa?
Rude!
