So, according to the research
smartphone owners have a lot more advantages
when compared to normal cellphone owners.
Hmm. Okay. Good.
Next. Avni Mehta.
What happened?
Sir, actually...
Please come here.
Sir, I created the entire project by hand.
But, it got drenched in the rain and got ruined.
Who told you to do it by hand?
Everyone created it on their laptops.
I am sorry. I have to mark you zero for this project.
Sir, I... I remember the entire project by heart.
Can I at least tell you all the data verbally?
Well, in that case, why don't you share it with the class?
Go ahead. - Thank you, sir.
So, I did a physical survey
of 100 of our own students and other colleges nearby.
And my figures are based on that survey.
Between the ages of 18 to 21
the youth spends an average of about 4.5 hours on their phones
every single day.
An average of 50 minutes on calls.
Social media roughly 2.5 hours
and they spend an hour on and other miscellaneous apps.
But, this daily average
went up to 7.5 hours, during the pandemic.
The use of smartphones
and an increase in the amount of time spent on social media
has an adverse effect on our concentration and focus.
For example, in 1990
we could focus on one single task
for 150 seconds, continuously.
However, according to a study conducted by Dr. Mark Lobo
this time has reduced to just 47 seconds in recent times.
I'm impressed.
The value of Pi is 3.14159265358979323.
Well done, Vivaan.
Okay, sit. Children, so...
Wow, Vivaan! That was great. When did you memorise the value of Pi?
While you were eating apple pie with Viju.
Attention, everyone. - Good morning, Miss.
Good morning, everyone. Please be seated.
All the students bags are going to be checked.
Because we have got information
that there are mobile phones and vaping machines in these bags.
You can go back to your seat. - Thank you, ma'am.
Good.
Check his bag carefully.
I am sure you will find something in it.
Ma'am, there's nothing in his bag.
That's not possible.
Let me check it.
Phantom cigarettes?
These are from our era.
Are they still available?
I am sure they must be, ma'am. My grandpa gave them to me.
He said, if you ever get curious about smoking, try this out.
It's not even injurious for health.
Your grandpa is right.
I'd like to meet him. Please bring him on the next PTA.
Sure, Miss.
Would you like to keep that?
Yes, I think I would. Thank you.
You're welcome, Miss. - Take your seat.
Bring this to my office.
And you all, utterly shameful!
You're all suspended.
"Humming."
Hey, Mrs. Bharucha. - What is this, Simran?
Anarkali.
I have to go to a wedding tomorrow. Not to a discotheque.
That is such a bad design! Such a plunging neckline!
And moreover, this isn't the fabric which I chose.
Let me fix it up. - Why is your phone switched off?
Yes? Every time I call it's switched off.
What on earth is going on?
If you can't run the business, why did you set up the shop?
You've made me suffer a huge loss for nothing. You can keep this now!
Ma'am?
We are getting too many complaints these days.
They are all coming back because of bad designs.
Guys, look at this.
It's not even trendy.
Avi, what's wrong with you?
I understand digital fasting, but...
Who reads Hindi, babe?
Why cast pearls before swine?
What? - It's a proverb, in this.
It means that... - I know what it means.
Tiger's film has released. So guys, let's go.
No, guys. You carry on.
I am not interested in tigers these days. I am into Shers ( lions/poems).
You know, because, Sher (poems)?
No? - Not funny.
Okay, if I may, can I recite one?
No way. I am out of here. - I have expressed.
Bye. - You are half, I am... - I am done.
Wings are attached to fly.
What? - Beach trip?
Right now? - No, on Bhai Dooj (sibling festival).
Got it.
What do you think? We aren't in some film, right?
Hmm, possibly.
I hope there's no camera set up somewhere.
Judging by that logic some conflict is coming up.
Yes. Actually, something happens in movies at such moments, right?
As in there's a bike accident.
Or the lovers are nabbed by the cops.
Actually, I have written something about this situation.
The rhythm of the raindrops.
The tinkling of the leaves.
The rhythm of the raindrops. The tinkling of the leaves.
The heart listens to that.
The weather shakes dew off it's eyelashes.
Let's do something stupid.
My heart is inclined to be Sufi.
Wow, Raunak sahab!
The splendour has actually arrived now!
I worked so hard for it and the splendour has finally arrived?
What is that?
Anyway, we will settle this account too. No complaints.
Aunt, I don't know where she went.
I actually made plans for a film, but she refused.
My dear, do you have the number of any other friend she could go out with?
Aunt, these days she is friendly with a boy called Raunak in college.
She may be with him.
I don't have his number, but I can get it for you.
Yes please, dear. Thank you, thank you.
Actually... - Kunal.
What is it?
Ask dad. - In those days, not everyone had telephones.
What has happened is all because of him. - That's why it is said
that one should move with the times.
Sister-in-law.
It's 1970, it's 2023
Avni hasn't come home from yet. - for god's sake.
She doesn't have her cellphone. I can't get in touch with her.
Digital fasting, my foot!
We never should have taken on his stupid challenge.
Kunal, you have no reason to worry, son.
Avni will be back.
Has she ever been this late, before?
Why don't you think of your times?
Once, you had a party with your college friends at a friend's place.
You went over with them at night.
You got a bit drunk over there, so you slept at your friend's place.
We were worried all night long.
Back then, everybody did not have telephones.
That's why they say, move with the times!
It's not the 1970s. It's 2023, for God's sake!
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
Amazing!
Are you still taking this so lightly?
Because I trust in Avni completely, okay?
But, I don't trust the world!
Avni is a girl!
All of us have seen how safe this city is.
Kunal.
Is there any point in arguing with him?
You know, he always does what he wants.
And whatever he says is always right.
What do you mean?
You know what I mean.
Don't you know?
You vanish from the house for months on end, when you want.
When you want, you return to your family to seek love.
When your family doesn't spend time with you
But, when your family needed you, you were never there.
You don't realise that.
Paying for your family's time is another matter.
But, winning their time with love is another.
Captain Ashwin Mehta.
This is not a bloody ship.
This is your family. Learn how to live in a family.
Kunal, I think, even mom had... - Don't mention Mallika!
Don't speak about things
you know nothing about.
Dad, I just know that if anything happens to Avni
I will never forgive you.
Hello, hello, yes, Nitya.
Yes, aunt. I have Raunak's number.
I tried calling him, but his phone was switched off.
But, you note down the number.
Yes, a pen. Give me a pen. - 9942...
Sir.
This is the number of the boy she could be with.
But, the cellphone is switched off. Please trace this number.
Give us the number of your daughter's phone.
We will trace that.
She isn't carrying her phone.
Oh,so she forgot the phone at home?
No, she doesn't have the phone.
How old is your daughter?
19.
You have a 19 year old daughter and you didn't get her a phone?
I told you, she doesn't have her phone! Just trace this number.
Lower your voice, Mr. Mehta.
Excuse me.
Inspector Apte. Can you please
trace this number, please?
Since when did your daughter know that boy?
I don't know. - Hmm.
Kids these days don't tell their parents
what they do and where they go.
Possibly, she has eloped with the same boy.
Why are you being so rude?
This is nonsense! I am telling you. This is complete nonsense!
Trace that number.
Mr. Mehta, answer the question I asked you!
Or I can't help you at all!
I will complain about you.
Will you complain about me?
You can do that. - Yes, I will complain.
Yes, I will do it. - Go on, complain about me. - Kunal!
Inspector Apte.
I am a retired Naval officer.
Our Chief of Naval staff
is only a telephone call away from me.
If I call him, your police headquarters will receive a call.
They will call you from there.
You are well aware of what will happen then.
I advice you to stop misbehaving and do your job sincerely.
Patil. - Yes, sir.
Trace this number.
Okay, sir.
Give me my ID back.
The boy's last location was Khandala. - Khandala?
Do you have a photo of your daughter?
We will send it to the nearby police station.
And we will ask them to search for her.
Now, you can go home. We will investigate this.
Hi, dad. - Avni?
Oh!
Where did you go?
Sorry, mom.
Actually, my friend and I suddenly
decided to go to Khandala.
That was all.
You could have called us once, Avni.
The mobile phone of the boy you went with was also switched off.
We were scared.
But, you don't have your phones.
And the landline was just installed.
I don't remember that number at all.
That's why I could not call all of you.
Sorry, mom.
Kunal.
Avni was in so much trouble!
If she had her phone none of this would have happened.
From today there won't be any digital fasting in this house.
There won't be any stupid challenges.
We don't want your money, dad.
Thank you.
This one's my favourite.
Hmm.
Your daddy would be really proud of you, dear.
Thanks, grandpa.
Very nice, my child.
So tell me,
that story about coming back from Khandala...
That was fake, right?
Yes?
Yes, grandpa.
Sorry, I lied.
Actually, Raunak and I had so much fun
that time flew by and we never realised it.
We roamed around Khandala. We ate street food.
Then, we drank a bit of beer in a local restaurant too. - Hmm!
In the bargain, we didn't realise that it was 10 pm, suddenly.
Hmm.
But, how did you guess, grandpa?
My dear, I am your dad's father.
When you said, you don't remember the landline number of the house
I realised right away that you'd cooked up a story.
Because, your memory is so good presently that
you reel off facts and figures in no time at all.
And you could not remember an 8 digit number?
Not possible.
Grandpa, you are truly a rock star.
Ta da!
But, lovely, dear. Give me this photograph.
I'd like to frame it and keep it in my room.
Done.
Vivaan.
I am sorry.
It's okay.
Friends again?
Ta da!
Karachi Halwa! Love it. - Here.
Grandpa, what's the occasion?
It's your grandma's birthday today.
This was her favourite sweet.
Happy birthday, grandma. - Happy birthday, grandma.
Happy birthday, Mallika.
Hey.
How was your day?
Kumud.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Why are you so quiet today?
It's my mom's birthday. I am just
missing her.
Were you guys, close?
Not really.
Fate and time never gave us the chance to be close.
I was...
I was very young when she passed away.
There's this one thing that I remember about her.
Distinctly.
She used to give a very...
A very warm and tight hug.
There was something, very... You know?
Really special, something magical about it.
And I just... I just miss it sometimes.
What is this place, grandpa?
This is the abode of your grandma's soul, dear.
Even today.
Come, come.
See.
This was the listening post of those times.
Your grandma got it made specially for her customers.
She cared deeply for her customers.
She had a personal touch with each one.
Look at all the testimonials from the customers.
Look!
Love the jazz collection of records
and the overall experience I have had
with Sur Mahal. You guys are amazing.
Arvind Burman.
65.
Must be an old man now.
Time...
So, times have changed, kids.
Technology has changed.
Records were replaced by CDs and cassettes.
Customers changed. Customers stopped coming in.
Business almost dried up.
But
Mallika didn't want to change with the times.
She was very emotional.
It was really difficult for her to detach herself from all of this.
What happened then, grandpa?
What happened was something I had feared.
Sur Mahal was sold off.
Mallika went into a deep depression.
I resigned from my shipping company.
I came back to take care of her.
Kunal, your daddy was a bit grown up by then.
But, Kumud was very young.
And Mallika had become completely dependent on me.
She could not function without me.
I didn't want a little child to see his mother in that fragile state.
That's why I sent Kumud to study in a boarding school.
It is something that really hurts him to this day and he thinks that
I wanted to keep him away from me, deliberately.
And grandma?
She had lost the will to live, son.
She went to sleep at night and
never woke up.
Come on, guys, I got pastries for you.
Come on! Go on. Open your cold drinks.
Have some.
Come on! Come on.
Grandpa?
Dad.
I am sorry, dad.
Kumud, you've promoted me!
From captain to dad?
It's not as if I didn't want to spend time with all of you.
I know that my family can't be
a source of entertainment for me, 24/7.
That's why I go off for up to two months at a time.
I keep myself busy
so that you folks can have your time. You...
So you can live your lives, your own way.
But, I have a right to some of my family's time, right?
Yes, dad.
Yes.
You do.
Son, it's not as if I have not made mistakes.
I am sorry for that, son. - It's okay, dad.
Don't say that.
Kunal. Sister-in-law. Dad fell on the terrace while walking.
What? - I don't know what happened. It's odd. - What?
Happy anniversary!
Happy anniversary, mom. - Thank you!
Happy anniversary, dad. - Thank you!
When did you guys do all this?
Quietly. - Really?
Dad, someone special is here to meet you.
Really? Who is it?
Mr. Goenka? You're here? - Yes.
Wish you a happy wedding anniversary, Mr. Mehta.
Listen, this is not the time for... - Relax, Mr. Mehta.
It's true that I was angry with you.
In fact, I was really angry.
Because I suffered a huge loss because of you. But...
Your father came to meet me the other day.
He told me all about it and explained why you made a mistake.
He also told me he would pay for all my damages.
If I withdraw the case.
I was very angry with you.
But, when Mr. Mehta explained it to me so sweetly and respectfully,
I could not say no.
That's why, I don't have any grudges against you.
But of course, I do envy you.
Envy? - You've a great family.
You have such lovely kids.
Thank you.
You know how choosy I am.
I design my clothes. I don't need anyone.
Look! There comes Simran. - Okay.
Let's go and enjoy the party, Mr. Bhalla.
Mom. Dad.
Happy anniversary. - Thank you.
Hey, what... Where did you come from?
Who seeks blessings in this day and age?
Dad, this is Raunak. The guy from Khandala.
Oh! - Oh! - So, this is Amol Palekar.
It's all a hotchpotch, right? I see. - Okay.
No, no, I have to talk to you.
Let me introduce him to grandpa. - No, no, we will talk...
No, no, wait a minute. Where are you taking him? Hello, excuse me.
She invited him for the party?
You've finalised it? - Yes. - Should I touch the map?
Excuse me.
Yes. - Meet your alter ego.
Alter ego? Bless you, son.
Okay, right. Khandala boy!
Khandala...
And let's chat over beer, some time
about your poems and mine.
We can only chat, sir.
I don't drink beer.
I see, you don't drink in Mumbai.
You only drink in Khandala.
No, sir.
Go on, go ahead. The bar is right there. Go.
Go and enjoy yourselves. - See you, grandpa. - Over there.
See you. Bye. - See you, sir.
Okay. - Blow!
Oh! - Hey!
Don't worry!
That wasn't a power cut.
It is the darkness before light falls.
I thank all of you on the occasion of
my kids' 20th wedding anniversary on behalf of the Mehta family.
Since I am old fashioned
on this happy occasion
Vivaan, Avni, Kumud
and all of us have
created a little presentation for all of you.
You will see it now. Vivaan.
Oh!
Love you, son.
Love you.
Thank you.
