Grandma!
Grandma,
Truth or Dare?
Truth.
Grandma, have you ever made a ladoo with your boogers?
Rishi, don't ask stupid questions.
Didn't mom teach you in school? "No question is a stupid question."
You did? I knew it!
Adults are a lot more cunning than kids.
I get yelled at...
but everyone else also does the same thing to heat up their blanket.
Rishi!
Good.
Truth!
What is this?
Everyone keeps choosing truth.
Somebody do something daring!
Grandma, how much more daring can sis be?
She has been playing all morning
and has done zero preparation for her exams.
And when Kiran Bedi sees all this
she will get a proper beating.
Kiran Bedi?
Yeah!
Kiran Bedi?
She calls mom Kiran Bedi. Didn't you know?
Rishi, I will break your teeth. Just shut up!
Try and catch me first.
Idiot!
It's a great name...
Kiran Bedi.
That Kiran Bedi used to get cars towed,
but yours can pick up your whole house!
What happened?
Oh God...
They had an essay assignment.
"Write 10 sentences on Buffalo."
Take a look at what he wrote.
What did he write?
Listen...
I am genuinely worried about Ritika.
I am sure she still hasn't even made a timetable.
Can you stop laughing and listen to me?
Why don't you teach Ritika?
Because every jail has only one jailer.
Ritika!
What are you doing, Ritika?
Mom, I'll tell you what she is doing if you give her a beating.
-Tell me. -Come with me.
The exams are coming
and this princess is playing games?
Will you say something?
Or will you just stand there frozen?
Ritika...
Your mom asked you a question.
What are you playing?
What game is this?
I mean... why are you playing this?
What else should I play dad?
I am bored of playing carrom and ludo.
Since there is no cable at home this is what I have to do.
She is being very daring, give her a good beating.
-I will give you a beating. -Hey.
Careful.
Ritika... your exams start day after tomorrow.
Day after tomorrow.
You aren't prepared for it but now you want cable?
As though you would have installed cable if I was prepared.
If your rank is in the top 5 in this exam, I will install cable.
What...
You won't teach this girl
and now you want to install cable?
Yes... but let her do well first.
-Okay dad. -See, she agreed.
Hydrogen, Lithium,
Sodium, Potassium, Rubideum.
Hydrogen... Lithium...
Hydrogen, Lithium?
Hydrogen, Lithium, Sodium...
Do you see that?
You need a brain like my dad's to make it into the Top 5.
How do I get cable with this empty head?
Honestly, I am a complete idiot.
Idiot! Ah...
Idiot...
She never reads or writes but she is always filling ink.
Look at this.
This is your dad's alarm clock.
It still works.
Do you know, he used this alarm to wake up before sunrise.
And that is why he used to top the class.
From now on, you will use this to wake up early.
Make it stop...
Is this alarm clock trying to wake me up or kill me?
God...
Helium, Lithium, Sodium…
Heli started a friendship with Ruby,
the son asked for a car and a scooter and the dad cried.
Heli started a friendship with Ruby...
Mom, drink your cough medicine.
-Ritika? -Yes?
Can you fetch me a glass of water?
Mom, my exams are coming...
Fine, I will do it myself.
I was just kidding.
You have a fever.
I think I might have a mild fever.
No need to go to school today mom.
I am not that sick.
Besides, if I took holidays every time I felt sick
then my students would take a sick leave every other day.
I have to go.
As mom's temperature hit 100,
my exam preparations and the chances of getting cable hit 0.
My young friends,
I want to welcome you to my show 'Walk with science.'
Sis, you should study. You want cable TV don't you?
Two.
Six.
Come. We were just waiting for you.
Why were you waiting for me?
Exactly what I was afraid of.
What happened?
Now we will have to rely on the kindness of farmers.
Because sis has been in the kitchen all day.
Why?
Sachin couldn't hit a century
but Kiran Bedi and Indira Gandhi's temperatures hit a century.
Mom?
Dad? Tea.
Thank you, my child.
It's time.
Did you take your medicines?
I will be fine...
But I am very worried about Ritika.
Why don't you teach her?
Your casette is still stuck there?
She doesn't want to learn from me.
You don't want to teach her.
You spend more time with your scooter than with your daughter.
If she fails...
people might say
what kind of a teacher is she?
Her own daughter failed.
Go and teach her.
Can I do it after I freshen up?
Can you go freshen up?
Can I drink my tea first?
Can you hurry up?
When you nag me even when you're sick, you look really cute.
Were you talking to me, Sanju?
No, I wasn't...
Really?
What are you doing?
Rishi, should I call dad?
Go ahead.
What is going on here?
So, will we be getting cable soon?
Or will we keep having to dream about it?
Sounds like the channel ' Door Darshan '...
What?
It's a joke, you rascal.
So, have you studied enough that we can get cable?
I will top from above
and sis will do it from the other side.
Come... I will teach you.
I need to give grandma her medicine...
I will just go do that.
No, I already did that.
Tell me what you need to learn.
The cough medicine is still left.
I gave her that too.
Get your book out. Show me what you're not understanding.
It's a Physics exam.
So?
I have already studied it.
What do you mean... even the revision?
Yes.
Okay, fine.
Then go to sleep. You need a fresh mind.
No matter how fresh it is, crap is still crap.
Should I come there to slap you or will you come here?
Sleep you rascal.
Okay then... best of luck. Do well on your exam.
Ma'am.
Yes Ritika?
Ma'am this is a Chemistry paper.
Yeah, so?
But don't we have a physics exam today?
The Physics exam is tomorrow, it's Chemistry today.
Ritika...
Ritika?
It's 7 in the morning, child.
Wake up.
You were sleeping like a log.
You have the Physics exam today, right?
Come on get up.
We have reached school, sis.
Respected, Brother Munna...
please grant us your blessings.
I hope that you and your loved ones are doing well...
We are all... it doesn't look like we're all fine here.
Hey! What happened?
We were supposed to answer 8 out of 10 questions.
I answered all 10.
I asked for four extra sheets
and I even used four different coloured highlighters.
And I even tied the sheets together properly.
You idiot.
I don't want to hear your story.
Then whose?
How was your sister's exam?
Sis has gone as quiet as a silent movie.
She's not saying anything.
I told you, didn't I?
-What? -I told you to teach her.
She said she has a Physics exam which she was done studying for.
She was just revising topics. What could I teach her?
You don't know anything.
She barely passed Physics last time.
It's not like she told me...
Because you didn't ask!
And when do you even speak to her?
All you do is exchange four words.
Yes. Sure.
Fine. Okay.
What is that smell?
Is it the milk?
I think the milk was on the gas...
How difficult is it to turn off the gas?
I didn't boil it! It boiled up on it's own!
You need to turn off the gas to avoid that!
I know...
-Where is the broom? -What are you doing?
Nothing, I am cleaning it with a broom.
You want to clean milk with a broom?
-What is going on? -What happened?
You want Sanju to clean?
Use the mop!
That is the last straw.
-Let me do it. -It's fine mom, I'll do it.
-Mom, you don't need to do this. -Let me do it.
Listen mom, it's just one day. It's not a big deal.
-You go and rest. -Give me that. I'll do it.
Let it be mom, I will handle it.
-Move out of the way. -Wait a minute, mom.
You guys shoud go, I'll do it.
This is barely any work... I have got this!
Stop! That's enough.
The two of you need to rest.
I have already told Mr. Sharma to send food for us.
I will do the household chores.
And Ritika?
You will focus on studying.
You didn't tell me...
that you were weak in physics...
Mom sent you, didn't she?
Yes, but you should have told me, right?
Tell me what happened.
It's not that I don't study dad.
When I look at the question paper... I just forget everything.
And my hands start sweating.
-You're laughing too? -No...
It's just that...
your hands get sweaty too?
What do you mean?
It used to happen to me too during the exams.
And I used to sweat so much that the exam sheets would be drenched.
So I used to tie a napkin around my hand and attempt my exams.
Do your ears get red too?
Both of them.
And you get nightmares about studying for the wrong subject?
Yeah.
But why did you have nightmares?
You were a topper.
That happened once. You don't know about every exam before that.
When I was studying engineering...
in my first year.
I failed in Maths.
I got 19 marks out of 100.
Are you lying to motivate me?
Why would I lie?
Maths used to make me shiver in fear.
So how did you top the year?
I worked hard and that is why I came first.
And what about your fear of Maths?
I still had it.
I was very afraid of it!
I used to wish that I could leave the hostel and go home.
Then one day I decided...
let's give it a shot. What is the worst that could happen?
So I started filling up my rough register and working hard.
And one day the fear was gone. It became fun.
If you work hard...
fear will be afraid of you.
And you are very smart.
You get 'First division' in Maths, don't you?
At least you don't get 19/100 like me.
See! She was afraid of you for no reason.
Dad isn't Sherlock at all...
He is John Watson!
Why you little...
Get lost! Go study.
Should we study?
Tell me, which exam do you have tomorrow?
Maths.
That's a good thing.
If you're going hunting, you should aim for the lion.
Conquering a mouse is pointless.
Show me the book.
Mom? Your cough medicine.
Best of luck.
Dad, it has very little sugar.
Go. I wished you luck already.
Bye.
Now listen, no matter how your paper goes
when you come back in the evening...
We will have cable TV.
We will watch 'Antakshari' and...
...'Banegi apni baat'?
Good... oh, right. Eat this.
Thank you, dad.
-Here, take this. -Let's go.
-How was the test? -Mine always goes well.
Spit out your collar.
I didn't ask you, you donkey.
How was the test, my child?
Her silent movie is back on.
Did I ask you?
Ritika, please tell me. How was your test?
I told you didn't I? Make a timetable.
You don't study the whole year and then you think one night is enough?
-I don't believe it dad. -What?
The exam went well.
That's a relief.
Dad?
What happened? Where are you going?
Ma'am!
-Your clothes. -Yes, put them there.
What is...
Did you wrap our clothes in my brand new saree?
You can't do anything right!
Ma'am, what about the money?
You will get that two days later.
Let me check... do you have a fever?
Why are you laughing?
I can happily fall ill now.
Just like Maths,
my relationship with dad is a lot better now.
Because I am beginning to understand him too.
Ritika and dad's complex equation is now simple.
