Ashke (2018) Movie Script

"He sometimes looks rustic
and smart sometimes.."
"He likes you, girl.."
"What do I say about your taste.."
"He sometimes looks rustic
and smart sometimes.."
"He likes you, girl.."
- "What do I say.."
- Boys, you have made me very happy today.
You did great at the
National Bhangra tournament.
You have crushed the competition.
Ask for what you want.
We will ask,
but you won't be able to deliver.
Well, you can't expect me to lay eggs.
No coach, eggs we can manage without.
But if we could get what
usually accompanies eggs..
..then we too could be
as befuddled as the driver is.
Do you want something that
helps you become befuddled?
Yes.
Pamma, hit the bus into something
so they can get befuddled.
Coach, if he hits into something..
..then he isn't a good driver.
You got befuddled so soon?
Did you hit into something?
Uncles standing ahead.
Not uncles, cops.
As my dad's a cop,
these by default are my uncles.
It's okay.
Today they can be
excused for anything.
They have won the National Festival.
They danced so well that they
crushed Haryana in the competition.
- Listen to me, coach.
- I know one shouldn't praise oneself.
But happiness should be shared.
Let me tell them.
As I was telling you,
they have made Punjab proud.
They were awesome in the folk dance.
They gave Haryana
a run for their money.
Coach, they are from Haryana Police.
It's not so.
Harayana's team danced well too.
They had great stamina.
There was just a
difference of a few points.
I see, so you defeated us in dance?
No..
Hey, boy..
You! Come here.
You indeed dance well.
- I am pleased.
- So then can we leave?
Offer them drinks.
I don't drink, sir.
You don't drink?
You danced as if you are high.
I am high on life, sir.
The high Bhangra gives
doesn't last forever.
- This will last forever.
- Oh really?
Goodbye.
Who knows when we shall meet again.
We were just testing you.
"Ashke"
"Ashke [Amazing]"
[English rap song continue]
Parminder?
Mr. Bhullar?
Weren't you supposed
to come after two days?
You didn't have to hurry back.
I was taking care of everything.
That's fine, but what's this?
Do you think that I
am getting drunk at work?
I don't need to think
that when I can see it.
Vikram had said that you don't drink.
But here I see you getting
drunk in broad daylight.
He said you have
a very good character.
I can see how good your character is.
What is wrong with my character?
You should praise me because..
I am working in this cold weather..
..by drinking alcohol
paid from my own pocket.
How much have I had anyway?
It is such a small bottle.
It didn't even wet my tongue.
I don't want to get
my license canceled..
..so that you can get your tongue wet.
And look at the way you
are standing in front of me.
I am standing like everyone else does.
What if I fire you right away?
Then I cannot change the way I stand..
..just to keep your job.
Hi, Mr. Dispatcher! How are you?
- Hi! How are you?
- All good.
I'd like to thank you to
keeping our trucks busy last week.
You didn't need to thank me.
It was my duty.
You should give us a
chance to thank you properly.
Boys have plans for dinner.
Come, join us in the evening.
I am already running late.
My wife and kids are
waiting for me at home.
They doesn't eat
till I don't come home.
- We will surely catch up, brother.
- Sure.
- Let's meet lunch some day, okay?
- Sure, definitely.
- Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
"This is what I feel.."
"I am soon going to
unite with my beloved."
"This is what I feel.."
Dad, Agam's on his
phone at the dinning table.
Agam?
Agam..
No gadgets at the dinning table.
Mom, I'm hungry.
I'm hungrier than he is.
You two had donuts just an hour ago.
I haven't had anything.
No need to cause a commotion.
I too have returned from work tired.
My legs have gone numb standing
at the grocery store counter.
And you guys just
won't stop making noise.
Relax, Preet.
How can I relax?
No one is ready to help here.
If you guys were so hungry
then you could've cooked up something.
You could have at least
prepared the salad for me.
Dad, no gadgets.
No gadgets.
Ekam, if it is your friend,
Kattie's son..
..then ask him to
leave his boots outside.
I just vacuumed this morning.
Pamma, you are back so soon?
What is this?
What kind of a job did you get me?
It would've been better if I would've
stayed back in the village to do weeding.
What happened?
If I could, I would have
beaten that Bhullar black and blue.
I'll teach Bhullar a lesson.
Let me get in touch with his wife.
Forget it. It's been a bad day.
I haven't even eaten a bite.
You didn't eat anything?
- Wait.. - I wonder who approves
Canadian visas for such guys.
Dad.. who gave you a visa?
Here, have some chicken.
Dinner will be ready in a few.
Can we get a bite too?
First call up Bhullar.
Yes. Okay.
I think you should drop it, Mr.
Bhullar.
We have known each
other for such a long time.
I'll apologize on his behalf. Okay.
Okay, bye.
Why did you apologize to Bhullar?
Because your brother won't.
He was drinking at work.
Go to sleep, all of you.
It's very cold outside.
He must have had it
to keep the cold away.
Right, that's the only
way to keep the cold away.
Dad, you guys can
solve your issues later.
First tell us,
when will uncle let go of our room.
He's occupied it
since the past 20 days.
We need our privacy.
They want privacy.
Don't make me hurt you.
You should keep your volume down.
My brother has a big ego.
If he hears this,
he'll leave this house right away.
"Even the enemies fear.."
"Those who are determined."
"Even the enemies fear.."
- Pamma?
- Yes?
Sister, let me tell you,
I am not staying here willingly.
You know how many
connections I have here.
Most of the students of Khalsa
college have settled in Toronto.
I am staying here because
father asked me to look after you.
Fine. Here, have some milk.
You know Jaggi, from our village?
He calls me every day
to handle his fleet of trucks.
I said that the insurance
would cover your losses.
But who would cover
the loss of losing a sister.
I have just one sister.
Don't you think its too sweet?
I added sugar twice,
to make sure its sweet enough.
What?
And you don't need to worry about me.
You should get married.
My sister-in-law and I,
we will take care of each other.
Forget it.
Brother-in-law is always
breathing around my neck.
And you want another stranger at home?
Why invite home more trouble?
Your brother-in-law isn't that bad.
Bro, doesn't dad
look a little confused?
Yes.
First mom used to dominate him.
Now uncle is always
breathing down his neck.
Poor dad.
Is there any way we
can get uncle out of here?
It is impossible to
get him out of the house.
But there is a way
to get him out of our room.
- What?
- Hunger strike.
Everyone goes on hunger
strike to get what they want.
Let's go. We are late.
If you had time to spare
then you could have washed the car.
Let's go. We are late. Get in.
Mom, do you remember
you have to take me..
..to my classmate Olivia's
birthday party in the evening?
I'll be coming home late tonight, son.
Other workers have gone on a leave.
I'll ask your uncle to take you
to the birthday party. Okay?
- No, I don't want to go with uncle.
- He has nothing else to do, son.
He will get bored otherwise.
He too will have some fun
at the birthday party along with you.
If uncle has time to spare
then he could wash the car.
Or clean the carpet.
Bro is right.
Daddy does all the work.
Shut up, both of you.
Don't make me hit you.
Your uncle is a guest here.
And I don't want any arguments, Ekam.
You are going to the birthday
party with your uncle.
Get in the car now.
- Poor Ekam.
- Come on, hurry up.
How do I look? Dashing, right?
Will they be serving snacks?
I am starving.
Uncle, you stay here.
I'll go and wish her.
Sister asked me not
to leave you alone.
I'm a grown up.
That's why I shouldn't
leave you alone.
What's wrong if I have some cake too?
No, you stay here.
I'll get some cake for you.
"Happy birthday to you!"
- "Happy birthday to you!
- Happy birthday to Olivia."
"Happy birthday to you!"
"Happy birthday to you!"
"May you live a long life.."
- "What is wrong with me?"
- Has he lost his mind?
"I miss you."
"I miss you."
Hey, mister!
What is wrong?
Nothing is wrong.
I am Ekam's uncle.
He insisted that I join him inside.
But I said what I would
do at a kids' party.
So I started having
my own little party here.
Where are you from?
- Taran Taaran.
- Same here.
You too?
Should we get down to Punjabi then?
Right away.
I am anyway having a
tough time talking in Hindi.
I have spoken in Hindi for
the first time after the 7th grade.
Elders have a separate party
going on at the back.. Join us.
No, he will wish her and come back.
And then we will leave.
- Come with us. Come on.
- Really?
Oh, no..
Uncle will surely
get me embarrassed today.
"Handsome Jatta,
I'm not so easy to forget.."
"I know your quite well, Mr. Perfect."
"I know your quite well, Mr. Perfect."
"Sunflowers will always
remind you of me."
"You'll take my name by mistake
while addressing others too."
"You'll take my name by mistake
while addressing others too."
"Handsome Jatta,
I'm not so easy to forget.."
"You'll read my old letters and cry."
"You'll lie down,
look at the roof and cry."
"You'll read my old letters and cry."
"You'll lie down,
look at the roof and cry."
"You'll see my image all around you."
"You'll take my name by mistake
while addressing others too."
"You'll take my name by mistake
while addressing others too."
"Handsome Jatta,
I'm not so easy to forget.."
Hey man, how come you dance so well?
- Man? Address me as uncle.
- Okay.
Uncle, where did you
learn to do Bhangra like that?
"Ask your name.."
"Hey beautiful damsel.."
I end up getting
late for duty every day.
Pamma!
I have cooked four flatbreads,
that's enough for you?
I'll have noodles in college.
I am not working as
a chef in a restaurant.
What do I do with what I made?
You start playing
it early in the morning.
Why don't you give
it a break sometimes?
Who are you talking to?
- Me?
- No, your father!
- Okay.
- You are a duffer who doesn't study.
And you don't let
my son study as well.
Uncle, I play it so that
I can concentrate on studies.
So that other rackets
don't reach my ears.
You know how much noisy this place is.
Like the racket you cause.
What did you say? Wait there.
What did you say?
Wait there. What did you say?
Why bother talking
to such people, daddy?
I have decided that we will have
to counter their music with our music.
We just need 2400 for
to buy a music system.
- Give me 2400 rupees.
- Use your brains.
We are not stupid.
Get this straight.
Finish your graduation and get a job.
So that I can get you married
and get out of the kitchen.
You know what's happening?
Sometimes while issuing
tickets to people, I do this.
That reminds me..
I heard there are quotas
when it comes to jobs as well.
Like sports quota, dance quota..
- What? You don't know?
- No.
I got the job through the dance quota.
- Really?
- I performed a step..
- I made my moves..
- Okay.
And the S.P.
said, "Son, what are you doing here?"
"Punjab Police needs
brave men like you."
Now get your act together
and concentrate on your studies.
I'll crush the quota you desire!
Useless lad.
You removed the spare again?
Play this one tomorrow. It's new.
Go, have fun at my expense.
Hello!
What are you doing here?
You shouldn't be studying.
Go and rest.
We have a Bhangra
competition tomorrow.
Right. Make sure we don't lose.
I saw you rehearse yesterday.
Your moves weren't clean.
Don't disappoint us.
We will study on your behalf.
Go and rest.
Right. We have placed
a bet of 100 with the opponent.
Really?
Since when did you start placing bets?
And how did you land up
with 100 bucks in the first place?
You fight with rickshaw
drivers for 2 bucks.
And you? You will study on my behalf?
Didn't they catch you
with a chit last year?
I think you have a
misunderstanding about me.
Just because I study with
you doesn't mean that I am like you.
I have higher aims in life.
I want to study,
dance and get a job too.
I want to get married too.
So that my father can
get out of the kitchen.
You are working so
hard just to get a wife?
You just let know the girl you like.
We will kidnap her for you.
Find a few for us too then.
- Professor is here.
- Professor is here.
Professor is here.
The great scholar is here?
Have a seat.
And you girls who love
to make tall claims, stand up.
I have your test results with me.
None of you have cleared the exams.
You don't study and you
don't let this boy study either.
- You.. Stand up.
- I am sure he too flunked.
You have scored well but
you are falling of attendance.
What's the use? You will face
issues with exams and admission.
What will you gain by dancing?
Sir, I don't care
if I don't gain anything.
But my college should
gain a trophy because of me.
Did I say too much?
Applaud for him. Go on.
Two things that will ruin
your life one day, these applauses..
And that Pandori.
Hello, coach.
- Hello, son.
- How are you?
Not good. I fell from
the scooter and fractured my arm.
My sister-in-law is getting married
and my wife is getting operated.
And the youth festival is back.
- It's all God will.
- God's will?
Who are you to get so
close to Pritam Singh Pandori?
- I too want to dance, sir.
- Then dance.
I mean I want to
be a part of your team.
You have a long way to go, son.
First become a part of stage help.
Then I'll decide whether
you can be a part of the spares.
- Okay.
- Get going.
Bye.
Someone who doesn't know whether
to dance or to perform won't win.
Stop.
What is your name? I keep forgetting.
My name is Supneet.
Where are your fields going?
Looks like your harvest got frozen.
You should sway them
as much as you can.
Like this. Look at me.
You tell him. I'll tell him later.
He thinks he's a good dancer.
And you, who gives
wrong advices to others..
Where's your enthusiasm?
Coach, why don't you show me?
Why don't you fall from the scooter
and break your arm in my place..
..and I will dance with
enthusiasm in your place.
- Pamma?
- Yes?
I had asked you to add new action.
- The wrestler move.
Why didn't you do that? - Which step?
- Which step?
- You didn't show it to us.
This is great. I broke my arm because
of it and you didn't include it.
Music please.
Stop.
I am the one with a broken arm,
not you guys.
They are dancing like a handicap.
Use both your hands.
Music, please.
Enough.
Coach, I think you should remove it.
It has been more than 45 days now.
You won't look good
with a sling there.
- If you want to keep it then
don't move around with us. - Right!
I'll remove it tomorrow.
So we've finally reached
the moment we have been waiting for.
- Pick me up from my village at 8.
- Okay.
No one should be late.
That includes our respectable coach.
- Otherwise, you know what will happen.
- Let's go for it.
Okay then one, two, three..
- Good morning, girls.
- Good morning, ma'am.
Girls, you always remember.
You are from S.S.K. college.
Which is one of the best
college of northern region.
We lead in education,
sports and cultural activities.
You know why?
Because of our focus and discipline.
We should win the overall
trophy this time as well.
There is no such thing as second.
Either you're first or you're nothing.
- Can I expect a win in today's festival?
- Yes, ma'am.
Let's have a photograph together.
- Sorry, mama.
- Ma'am.
- Ma'am.
- I'll talk to you later.
Okay.
Laugh, please.
Girls from our college don't laugh,
they smile.
Smile, please.
So, all the best, girls.
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Thank you, ma'am.
- Let's go.
You wait right here.
You should travel with me.
I cannot tolerate a 30 minutes
lecture from you at the moment.
I am scared.
I don't know how it will go today.
How are you doing, boys? All set?
- Hello, sir.
- Coach is here
Hello, coach.
We are ready, sir.
But this idiot is scared.
That's because you are dancing
in my team for the first time.
- Yes.
- That's why..
My team never loses. Understood?
You don't need to worry.
You don't know what we are.
This dance performance
is just a formality.
We have already won it.
Who can go against us?
- Sukhi, your boys are here?
- They are all here, sir.
Let's go, then.
Son, have you taken your brushes?
Yes, sir. I am ready.
So, everyone is ready. Let's go then.
Let's go,
do the formality and get the trophy.
Drive faster.
Uncle, did my bus leave?
They just left.
Around half an hour ago.
Half an hour ago?
Did they say anything about me?
Anything good or bad?
They didn't say anything about you.
But they had a lot
to say about your family.
Who said it? Bindu?
Everyone. You know it.
They respect you a lot, don't they?
Shut up. I am late. Drop me there.
I too am late, bro.
Drop me there.
They won't be able to win without me.
If they couldn't do without
you they wouldn't have left you here.
- They must have won by now.
- "The one who appears in my dreams.."
"The one who flirts with me.."
What if they win without me?
"The one who appears in my dreams.."
"The one who flirts with me.."
"Tell him to come in front of me.."
"The one who appears in my dreams.."
Who is he? Why is he so happy?
I think he is a dancer
who is asking for a lift.
Let's give him a
lift if he is handsome.
He is handsome.
Ma'am, can I get a lift?
I have a dance performance.
I have to reach the Youth
Festival and I am late.
We too are going
to the Youth Festival.
Oh really?
Then this will work out great.
- Just keep quiet.
- Or won't.
Ma'am, my life is at stake here.
Can I hang at the back?
Which college?
S.S.K. College for boys.
So then, he's a part of the family.
You don't even need to ask, get in.
Get in.
We were just kidding.
He actually came in.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.."
"12, 13.."
"I keep waiting for you."
"Come back, my love."
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.."
"12, 13.."
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.."
"12, 13.."
I don't care whether
it is Pamma or Shamma.
The one who isn't disciplined
can never be close to me.
Sir, what about me?
Although a spare,
you are close to me today.
Pamma won't dance today.
You will dance at his spot.
Don't worry, Pamma will be here.
Mr. Pandori.
Hello, Mr. Tariyal. Hello!
- How are you?
- Good, sir. How about you?
- Ready?
- How can we be ready?
- My scooter slipped and I fell.
- Oh.
I fractured my arm.
My sister-in-law got married
and my wife got operated.
I didn't get the
time to help the boys..
..with practice since
the past two months.
You tell me, are you ready?
How can we be ready?
Boys just get together in
the name of festival and spread love.
God bless those colleges who
give them an opportunity to do so.
There is no doubt about that.
Nindi and Sukhi are
dancing for your team?
Pandori, I thought we should
spread the love properly.
Of course. Why not?
Where's Pamma?
Pritam Singh Pandori doesn't respect
the one who doesn't respect time.
I threw him out of the team.
Then love will surely spread.
Call Pamma. Find out where he is!
- What about me?
- You handle the proms.
Sir..
Pamma in a bus full of angels.
Girls.
Well, better late than never.
Excuse me!
Come on, get down fast.
You lied that you are from S.S.K.
to take a lift, right?
- Come on, hurry up..
- Why?
The way you stand.. it shows
that you are from Khalsa college.
She is principal's daughter.
She can get your college into trouble.
- Oh, really?
- Yes.
Tell her to do her best.
Now I can't change the way
I stand fearing her mother, can I?
Hello, ma'am.
Get down or you will be late.
Hello, ma'am.
Thank you, ma'am. Thank you.
Who was he?
He's from Kh.. S.S.K. college.
S.S.K. for boys.
"Sohni standing at Chenab's riverbank.."
"I feel like it's time to get married."
"I feel like.."
Keep it down.
- Painting competition is in process.
- Sorry, sir.
Fine.
Pamma, isn't she from
the bus full of angels?
Yes.
She will grow up
to be like Amrita Pritam.
Isn't it Sobha Singh
who is famous for drawing?
I am talking about her looks.
Hey.. that Bhangra dancer also draws.
He will grow up to be Sobha Singh.
Sobha Singh used to dance?
Maybe sometimes?
Hello, bro?
Be there on time.
Dance is about to begin.
Don't be late.
Then Irfan Khan said, "Use your brains."
Let's talk about folk dances now.
The best dance form
to display Punjabi culture.
Bhangra! Bhangra! Bhangra!
Khalsa, Khalsa!
S.S.K., S.S.K.!
"On one side there is music and dance.."
"On the other side there
is a Kabbadi match going on."
"People watch both
the competition in awe."
"They witness the ground
quiver wherever they step."
"They witness the ground
quiver wherever they step."
"Like a rustic,
on my shoulders I keep a stick."
"Like a rustic,
on my shoulders I keep a stick."
"I use my stick when my ego is kicked."
"No one who challenges me.."
"No one who challenges
me leaves unharmed.."
"I teach my enemies a good lesson."
In this competition of folk dances..
..I invite the last and the
final team from Khalsa College.
"Whenever music plays.."
"Young lads come together."
"They love to groove."
"They are dressed to make their moves."
"They shine.."
"They shout,
they want to show their strength today."
"Winds gush through green fields."
"You play the drums and I will dance."
"Playful young lads of colorful Punjab,
we are proud of them."
"They have a unique
identity across the world."
"They always love from the heart,
no matter the consequences."
"When they get angry
they like to challenge."
We have come to the most
crucial point of this competition.
Yes, I am talking about
declaring the results.
How are you? Hello.
Have a seat.
Let's talk about the team that
took the first place for folk songs.
The first place goes to G.H.
college for boys.
The next competition that
is the painting competition.
At the third place, we have G.H.
college for boys again!
Who has got the second place?
Let's see.
The team that won the second
place in the painting competition is..
S.S.K. college for girls.
And the team which stood
first in this competition is..
Yes, it's S.S.K. college for boys.
Very good!
Madam, even if Khalsa college
wins the Bhangra competition..
..then we will surely
win the overall trophy.
Bhangra! Bhangra! Bhangra!
The team which won the
Zonal Youth Festival's..
Khalsa College!
A huge round of applause for them.
For the overall trophy..
Two teams were going neck to neck.
But as Khalsa College
won the Bhangra competition..
..the all over trophy goes to
S.S.K. college for girls.
Sir, I cannot believe that we lost.
But you won the painting competition.
But sir, we lost the
Bhangra competition.
It's okay.
We will win Bhangra too some day.
Daddy, I must say,
what we enjoy the most..
..at the Youth Festival
are the dance competitions.
You are right, dear.
I too used to love Bhangra
during my college days.
- Yes.
- I too used to dance.
I was dancing when your
father saw me for the first time.
We were the first ones in our
locality to ever have a love marriage.
Wow grandma, love marriage?
Mom!
I think no one here is
disappointed that you lost.
Mama, I don't paint to win or lose.
Painting is my passion.
Anyway, our college won
the overall trophy. So, enjoy.
But principal's daughter lost.
- What will people say?
- What will they say?
Your school won't get less admission
because principal's daughter lost.
Not school, college.
Same thing.
Kids don't like to
go to either of the places.
And who looks at paintings anyway?
I never look at them.
Only the three judges have
a look at them.
- Right!
- Right. Yes.
Maybe the judges couldn't understand..
..what I was trying to
convoy through my painting?
Right, you are Picasso.
People will understand
your paintings after decades?
Don't leave your dinner, dear.
I am not leaving
my dinner behind, daddy.
I am taking it along.
Okay, dear. I know.
You will send me the invite
but I won't be able to go there.
- Still..
- It gets difficult to manage over here.
My house becomes a mess
if I stay away from two days.
I cannot leave him alone at home.
He still doesn't know how
to knead dough.
I have to rewash the utensils he washes.
But yes, he has learnt how to boil eggs.
My brother isn't that bad.
Don't make excuses now.
Dear, they say that you shouldn't
even drink water from your daughter's..
Daddy, don't be so orthodox.
Keep quiet and come here.
- Who is it, daddy?
- Guddo.
Okay.
She says she will send
RayBan sunglasses for you..
..if you score good marks in your terms.
- Really? Let me talk to her.
- Yes.
- Yes?
- Hello? Pamma?
I have already sent sunglasses for you.
- But you should still study hard.
- Okay.
We won, once again.
Don't just keep dancing.
Concentrate on your studies as well.
- Why don't you pay us a visit?
- No sister, I won't be able to make it.
This house becomes a mess
if I stay away from two days.
I make tea for daddy every morning.
Where's my shirt, Preet?
Why is he yelling at you?
He's not yelling.
He's asking for his shirt.
Tell him to watch his tone.
Sister, get this straight,
you shouldn't hide anything from me.
I'll come if anything goes wrong.
I know how much my brother loves me.
Why don't you think
about getting married?
Do you like someone?
You'll be the first one
to know when I do.
Okay.
Bye.
Hello, sir. Hello.
- Hello.
- Hello, sir.
Please have a seat.
- Principal sir..
- Yes?
We have fulfilled our promise.
There was a reason behind
handing over these boys to you.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
Mr. Pandori?
S.S.P. had called.
He wanted to meet you.
Oh, really?
Sir, people have always been
respecting Pritam Singh Pandori.
Now even police officers
have started respecting him.
We have the proof now.
You got the message.
I think I'll have to take the
trophy with me to the police station.
The staff might want
to click pictures with it.
Yes, sure.
Hello.
I am pleased..
..that S.S.P. has personally invited
the Bhangra Coach..
..Pritam Singh Pandori
to show respect to our culture.
There is a party at S.S.P.'s
residence day after tomorrow.
Oh, I see.
So he has invited the
winning team at his residence..
..to click pictures with his guests.
Not a problem, we will be there.
Let me finish.
- They don't want to click any pictures.
- What?
He'll be having guests at home.
Your team needs to dance
to welcome them.
Bhangra isn't a profession
for our boys..
..it is their passion.
We have a saying..
"Walk less but walk with pride."
We don't accept this deal.
My boys aren't free day after tomorrow.
Sir, I have brought the confectioner
around the corner who had refused..
..to carter for sir's party.
- Who are your orders?
- What else can I order for?
Take him in and serve him well.
Okay, sir.
The party is day after
tomorrow in the evening?
- Yes, in the evening.
- We will be there.
At least drink the milk, boys.
Why be upset with the milk?
I know you don't like
to dance at parties.
I don't like it either.
You respect Bhangra so much that..
..you have never rehearsed
with your hair left uncovered.
You boys are from well to do families.
Guggu even owns a car.
Then you should have refused him.
Brother, I would have refused..
..but you can't help it
when they start begging, do you?
Two sat to my left and two
to my right and started begging.
There was one sitting
in front of me and begging.
Yet I said no to them.
In the end they even
tried to tempt me with sweets.
They brought a confectioner.
They started begging through him.
What is coach acting so naive.
Cops never beg.
Who can know that better than me?
Brother, if you know then
you should explain it to them.
Will you explain when
their begging leaves a mark?
So then?
Now that our coach has
agreed to it out of fear..
..then we shall go there.
It will be kind of a rehearsal.
- Yes, we will go there. - Have I asked
for anything from you guys?
Coach, you owe me 1000 bucks.
Have bananas. Why do you worry
about 1000 bucks? Here.
- Grab one, everyone.
- Thank you, thank you.
Hello.
- Hello.
- Where to, coach?
Oh sorry, I didn't recognize you.
Actually when police officers
are in civil clothes..
..then even their family
has a hard time recognizing them.
So you can't blame us outsiders.
- My boys are here.
- Then you should begin.
What?
- Where's the stage?
- What stage?
Where we will dance.
There is no stage.
You can form a circle here.
What?
I mean, the boys will
need to change their clothes.
Where will they do that?
They can change at the
confectioner's makeshift tents.
I know you.
Get the flowers, boys.
We are already here.
You don't need flowers to welcome us.
Those flowers aren't for you.
They are for the guests.
You have to shower them
with flowers and dance.
It's simple.
It's not difficult.
It's the same action.
Lift the flowers and throw them.
Look Like this.
Okay. Was that her? Okay.
Hello!
- Bhangra!
- Hi.
Bhangra!
S.S.K. for boys?
Yup.
S.S.K. for girls, painting.
Of course.
I didn't lie to get a ride.
- How are you?
- Good.
Were you invited?
Yes, of course.
Why would I come here otherwise.
I don't have to always lie, do I.
Of course. Everyone has some class.
S.S.P.'s daughter is my friend.
What was her name?
- Jyoti?
- Jyoti, yes.
We went to the same school.
She used to not study.
She used to play a lot.
She loves hide and seek.
- Yes.
- Oh, really?
But she didn't even know how to hide.
You too get caught sometimes, right?
Yes.
If you play the game then you
are bound to get caught sometimes.
- Okay, bye.
- Wait. Hello..
You team danced well that day.
I knew that you guys would win.
Your painting was very good too.
I thought that you would win but..
Sometimes judges don't
get what the painting meant.
As if you understood.
You can save the planet
only if you save the environment.
- Bye, see you.
- Wait..
That day,
I drew a sketch of you in the bus.
I couldn't complete it.
I wanted to complete it.
Okay, but I don't have time to spare.
I have a few more parties to attend.
Maybe later,
when I can spare some time?
Bye.
Are you a Bhangra dancer?
Your coach is dancing
all by himself outside.
He is a guest.
Yes, I am a guest.
We are Jyoti's friends.
Yes.
Let me know when you
need to complete the sketch.
I am almost free.
- Ma'am?
- No, thanks.
See you then.
Bye.
Bye.
Agam, come and have your breakfast.
Sorry, mom.
Ekam and I are on hunger strike...
...till uncle doesn't leave our room.
Speak for yourself.
Ekam already had his breakfast.
He and your uncle
are playing game inside.
What?
Cheating.
I won't eat.
Would you prefer having
breakfast or getting thrashed?
Breakfast.
Stuffed breads would suffice.
Go, go, go.
What are you doing? Go!
Yes!
- Look over there.
- Damn!
Ekam, we need to talk.
Come here.
No, you come here.
Make it quick.
You backed out of the hunger strike?
Bro, I am just taking
a break for five minutes.
You have my full support.
Shut up.
From now, you have no right
over things that belong to me.
My friends are no longer your friends.
You won't touch my things.
Uncle is a very nice person, bro.
He's a rock star.
Don't talk to me.
This is your last chance.
Are you on his side or my side?
The stuffed bread tastes amazing, bro.
Let's get to work, guys.
Look over there, Pamma.
What kind of a life are we leading?
Want a drink?
No, thanks.
I lost a job because of it.
I got this one with great difficulty.
Doesn't he look familiar?
He's sitting with a white chick.
Let's have a closer look.
I think someone's
married life is at stake.
That's my sister's
married life at stake.
Brother?
See you tomorrow.
Small world, bro.
- What is this, brother?
- It's nothing, Pamma.
Your dad begged us
to get you two married.
- And now you are doing this?
- Listen to me.
You had asked for a scooter
and we gave you a Enfield.
- Pammi...
- Shut up.
- Who is he?
- I understand everything.
Wearing matching clothes too.
- Hey, reading.
- He's my brother-in-law.
My sister is an angel.
She keeps praying for him.
- That's enough.
- Come home. I'll teach you a lesson.
Pammi, why didn't you listen to him?
Daniel, I am sorry.
He did not know.
What did he not know?
One should know how to
talk in front of strangers.
He just kept lashing out.
Preet, people take just
a moment to pass judgments.
Then people would
have believed in him.
No one would have listened to me.
Pammi, Suzie is his business partner.
Sister, what kind of a business
does he do that he needs to hug her?
What do you don't know?
Did he hit a jackpot
that he was celebrating?
People expand their business..
..my brother-in-law is
expanding is social life.
Pamma?
Is he crazy?
Why is he behaving like this?
Brother,
at least you should take my side.
He was hugging your wife.
And you are calling me crazy.
What is he saying?
Daniel, he is saying "I am sorry."
Yeah, it's okay.
Let's go.
Let's leave.
- Sister, I thought that...
- Let it be. No explanations needed.
Fine, then I'll go back to work.
They had called.
They too fired you.
I'll be right back.
Hey mister!
Where to?
Have you poured vodka into that?
No, just ice cream.
It's over though.
I'm only left with the cone now.
How's life?
Fine.
Just fine, why?
I am in a different country.
It's hard to adjust.
People aren't the same.
Language isn't the same.
Food isn't the same.
That's not true.
There are many who
speak our language here.
Okay tell me what have you been up to?
Nothing, just wandering aimlessly.
I'm shopping.
Let's go shopping.
I don't have any money.
I am yet to get a permanent job.
I can't shop for someone either.
I just got a job at school.
- Really?
- You are a resident?
Yes, I stay with my
sister and her husband.
I was waiting for them.
Then you are a resident.
Okay, I'll get going.
You have a car. I'll miss my bus.
Okay then, you carry on.
Okay, bye.
Pamma, wake up in 15 minutes.
Babaji, this is my
brother's first day at work.
Please keep him away from all evil.
Mom, this is fourth job in 20 days.
I am auditioning today.
Pray for me as well.
Sure. May God help you
pass your exams in flying colors.
Let's go.
I was talking about the audition.
Now you have confused Babaji.
I didn't make it.
High-five!
Me neither.
What about Karan?
Or he will tease us.
I have enough reasons to tease you.
Whether or not I made it to the list.
You didn't get selected either?
No. My mom had prayed that
I should make it to the list.
Well, now I blame Babaji for it.
Get out of my way now.
Why is he so rude?
He doesn't know whether
Babaji even knows hip-hop.
He could have blamed
Babaji if it were Bhangra.
Why don't we audition for Bhangra?
Bhangra is our folk dance.
Actually, there is no
Bhangra coach in our school.
That's why we didn't
audition for Bhangra.
I've got an idea.
Hey guys, what's up?
Miss, we were wondering if the school
could arrange for a Bhangra coach?
There are many students
who would like to learn Bhangra.
Hello? Does Pamma stay here?
Mummy...
There is a girl here to meet uncle.
A girl?
To meet Pamma?
Pamma, you didn't tell me.
- What?
- She is here to meet you.
Who?
How are you dressed!
You should always dress well.
Hurry up now.
- Hello.
- Hi.
I wanted to meet Pamma.
Does he stay here?
Yes, he does. Please do come in.
Welcome.
Have a seat.
Hello.
Sorry, I came uninvited.
It's okay.
Sister, the other day I went
for that girl's party with Ekam...
That's where I met her.
Okay.
He dances Bhangra very well.
Very impressive.
Bhangra?
Well, he was his college's
Bhangra team's captain.
He has won many cups.
He has won many trophies.
Pammi, what was that song?
The one you sang at
Kishorilal's wedding?
Preet?
We needed a Bhangra
coach for our school.
If you could volunteer then...
I danced there because I was drunk.
It is not easy to coach.
You should find someone better.
Think over it.
No, it is difficult to coach.
Let me know if there
is any other vacancy.
I need a job.
We are also trying to find him a wife.
You already have a job.
Don't joke, Pamma.
And you also have a good house.
- Yes.
- Right.
He does.
I'll get going now.
Please do think about it again.
Okay?
- Goodbye.
- Pamma, tea?
Won't you offer her tea?
No, thank you.
- Please do come again.
- Sure.
- We'll pay you a visit as well.
- Sure.
Mom, I was wondering...
Uncle is anyway not doing anything.
So ask him to teach me Bhangra.
Why don't you ask him to do that?
But didn't you him
to vacate your room?
"Worshiping your mother
is like worshiping the moon."
Hello, uncle.
Hey Hip-hop,
how do you know about this song?
This new generation still
has old blood running its vein.
Mom used to hear it.
New generation,
it's like God, not like a moon.
But isn't moon considered as an uncle?
And a mother's brother
is as good as a mother.
So the moon is like another moon.
I had come to tell you...
That you can keep the room.
You can chill, play video games
and think about coaching for Bhangra.
Let me know if you need anything.
Sure.
Close the door when you leave.
"Mother is just another form of God."
"Worshiping mother
is like..."
Damn.
Is this the one I
came from my village in?
No, its wings were different.
They have nothing else to do.
There's another one.
Here, we brought you some chocolates.
And flowers.
Can you please coach
Agam's Bhangra team?
I wasted all my money on this.
I was supposed to buy a videogame.
Your uncle's mean.
How are you doing, Ekam?
What's wrong with him, Preet?
What are you doing, Pamma?
Nothing, I wasn't doing anything
so I thought I'd lace my shoes.
You know I was in the fourth
grade when you were born.
I used to roam around the village
while carrying you around my waist.
Daddy told me about it.
That's why you flunked
the fourth grade.
Dad had scolded me a lot.
As if he didn't scold me.
I used to roam around the village.
I didn't let anyone else
look at you or carry you.
I used to fear that someone
might cast an evil eye on you.
I used to be a beautiful baby.
Then when we had Agam, it was
like the whole thing all over again.
I used to carry him around.
I won't let anyone else look at him.
Sisters love just like mothers do,
don't they?
Do you want to learn Bhangra?
Yes, I do.
Then first learn how to stand.
Like this?
Stand like the boys
from Khalsa College do.
- Hello.
- Hello.
He's here for you.
I mean he's here for Bhangra.
- Bhangra is his life.
- Really?
Then why didn't he
come for his life that day?
Let's go.
Just make sure he eats.
Don't worry.
We'll return him healthier.
Am I going to mother's maternal home?
Good morning, kids.
I want to introduce all of
you guys to our new Bhangra coach.
- Hello.
- Hello.
He's your uncle?
Then we'll surely get
to learn some Bhangra.
Karan!
He's a little rude.
If you want,
we can throw him out of the class.
No, I think we should keep them.
Many times rude people
have a good heart.
It's okay.
My coach used to say...
Number one, never go on stage
for Bhangra with your head uncovered.
Number two, never be close
to anyone who does drugs.
That's what my coach
used to say as well.
Who is your coach?
He used to teach in Multan.
We moved to Canada last year.
What is your name?
Amir Sandhu.
Do the Jhumar steps for me.
How are you?
- Hello, brother.
- Hi.
We won't eat here.
Let's go, Ekam.
"Bravo!"
"Bravo!"
"Let me tell what my elders told me."
"Bravo!"
"Let me tell what my elders told me."
"Bravo!"
"Dance well and be brave."
"Ranjha is my love,"
"Don't keep me away from him."
"Ranjha is my love..."
Go attend your classes.
Why are you ruining the
atmosphere of this college?
Oh my!
Pamma's going to pay for the Samosas.
"I have started dreaming about you."
"I have started dreaming about you."
"I don't want to
open my eyes anymore."
"Your veil caresses my soul..."
"Your lips say the unsaid."
"Your image I see when
in the name of God I meditate."
"I want to untangle
the knots of love with you."
"I want to light a lamp for you too."
"I want you to be
a part of my destiny."
"I want you to be
a part of my destiny."
"I want to make you my wife."
"You are the love of my life."
What is wrong with him?
What kind of songs
is he playing today?
I think his days of watching
kids' shows are over.
He is no longer a kid anymore.
I think he is in love.
I can accept the fact
that this idiot fell in love.
But who fell in love with him?
Father, sacred fig and
love's roots are so strong...
...that they can
sprout any barren land.
These roots of love and sacred fig...
They can get uprooted too.
What if they are deeply rooted?
"I want the moon to shine for you."
"I want the moon to shine for you."
Who was that boy?
Pamma.
And who is this Pamma?
Pamma Dhillon.
And who is this Pamma Dhillon?
Pamma Dhillon, just a friend.
Friend?
He's her friend.
Have a seat.
My tea would have
gone cold because of you.
Do you know what a friend means?
Friend means friend.
I am not your enemy.
I am thinking about your well-being.
He is not of our level.
"Who can dare to mess with us?"
"Who can dare to mess with us?"
Move a little back.
The way you keep moving, soon
I'll have stand and ride the scooter.
Coach, either buy a car
or get this scooter bigger.
This scooter is big.
"Who can dare to mess with us?"
- "Who can dare to mess with us?"
- Stop!
Why is he stopping us?
I already have two sitting behind me.
How can he expect a lift from me?
Stop, stop. Come here.
Come here, maestros.
Triple riding?
You'll get a ticket.
I think you didn't recognize me.
No, I didn't.
Who are you?
You really didn't recognize me?
It's not right for
me to introduce myself.
Tell him about me.
He is our coach.
The pride and honor of Bhangra.
Mr. Pritam Singh Pandori.
I don't notice any pride or honor.
Can't you say that you are a dancer.
Brother, you aren't showing
any respect to Bhangra.
Respect?
Do you want me to bow
down while writing a ticket?
Show me the Registration Certificate.
I think I am losing my reputation.
Let me tell you,
I too know a few policemen.
A member of my Bhangra team's
father is also a policeman.
Which shameless police officer
has his son doing Bhangra?
I don't know his
shameless father's name.
But my student's name is Pamma.
- Pamma?
- Yes.
His full name?
Mr. Paramjit Singh Pammaji.
College?
Khalsa College.
Class?
Science graduation, final year.
That means...
Pamma is into Bhangra?
Pamma doesn't study?
Why does he need to study
when he has the coach to support him?
His coach is here to get
him the required attendance.
His coach is here to
help him clear the exams.
I told them not to
worry about studies.
They should only
concentrate on dancing.
And does Pamma dance well?
He dances well?
The ones you call dancers,
he is their captain.
- Balwinder.
- Yes.
They have managed to find a contact.
Do one thing, give them a
ticket with all the possible charges.
- What?
- Yes.
"When you are facing bad times..."
What kind of a song
is he playing today?
"You lose everything, my friend..."
"My friend, when you leave
you lose everything."
"My friend, when you leave
you lose everything."
Father...
You aren't that hurt
to scream like that.
I can't show you the wound
which is making me scream.
I hurt at many places.
So you won't dance.
I can't stop doing Bhangra.
I've promised dad that I'll rank first
in my studies as well as in Bhangra.
Don't you think you
have promised a lot?
I had come to tell you
that my family knows about us.
What?
So were you beaten up as well?
My parents and I have a
great understanding between us.
We can discuss about anything.
Really?
That's not the case here.
My uncle's daughter was
caught watching the movie Bobby.
They married her off the next day.
She was beaten up as well.
She is happily married now.
That's not happens in my household.
Our parents are intelligent.
The only thing my mom objects
to is difference of our levels.
Really?
Then tell your mom that I cannot
bring my level down because of her.
Oh my!
"Oh my!"
Let him go, girl.
He'll be visiting
your college tomorrow.
- Let's go, Pamma.
- Yes, let go.
"My beloved is to pass by,
girls get out of the way."
"My beloved is to pass by,
girls get out of the way."
They seem to be very happy.
They aren't happy.
They want me to spend.
They will ask for a treat.
By the way, there is a college
festival in my in-law's college.
Make sure boy's friends
and family are treated well.
So you want a grand welcome?
Madam, we are talking about
the overall trophy over here.
If our painter withdraws
then you get the overall trophy.
Then it won't make
any difference to you...
...whether our college or Khalsa college's
team wins the Bhangra competition.
Tariyal, the thing
you are talking about...
Let me remind you that our
college had a certain reputation.
Please have your tea.
Madam, I was just saying that if that
boy withdrew from the competition...
...then not only does you
college get the overall trophy...
...but your daughter
gets to win as well.
By the way, tea was nice.
Welcome to the Youth Fair.
I'll like to say a few
words to welcome you all.
"Such words can be said only by a few,
I am used to stealing glances at you."
An important announcement.
Those who are participating
in the painting competition should...
...now proceed towards the ground.
Pamma Painter!
Hello.
Did you have to get up?
You know how embarrassed I felt?
I wanted to give you something.
And I didn't want to be too late.
Take this.
Sugar crystals.
Sugar crystals?
What are these for?
I had prayed for you.
That you win the
competition this time.
Now even if score less,
you will still win it.
I have spoken to Him.
But I didn't pray for you.
Then go run to the temple right away.
Don't make me lose.
You can never lose.
Bye.
Don't eat it. Just keep it with you.
"Come, my love..."
I think you like Bhangra
more than painting these days.
Milk for you guys.
After all you are our guests.
You have to dance well.
One can't dance well with just milk,
sister-in-law.
You should have brought
gram flour along.
We never add gram flour to it.
I arranged for milk
too with great difficulty.
Where is your brother?
"Where is your brother indeed?"
Pamma Painter?
Pamma Dhillon.
Sister-in-law, its Pamma Painter.
- Dhillon.
- Why are you holding her back.
Let here come.
- "Ward the evil off with water,
oh groom's mother..." - Shut up!
How did your painting go?
I completed around 75 percent of it.
And the madam ate my sugar crystals.
75 percent of it too
will be more than enough.
Those sugar crystals
are so potent that the...
...madam who ate those
will surely birth a son.
But she is unmarried.
It's very effective.
She will soon get married.
- Hurry up, it's time to perform.
- I'll get going now.
I wasn't even that nervous
for the 10th grade's exams.
Don't worry.
You just need to
sit there and watch me.
"We hit the target
and roar like a lion."
"We fight with our enemy and
seek revenge, we don't back out."
"When both the groups forget
the enmity then it causes trouble."
"Their moustaches are their pride,
never so humble."
"Their moustaches are their pride,
never so humble."
"This is my Punjab, my friends."
This was S.S.K.
college for Boys' team.
Presenting to you,
Khalsa College's Bhangra!
"These boys fear nothing, they
enter the dance floor fearlessly."
"You should see how they reply back,
my dear."
"I was taunted by my sisters-in-law."
"I have seven brothers,
I am a son of Sardar."
"Your beauty made me fall in love."
"I changed my look
and I became a wanderer."
"I changed my look
and I became a wanderer."
"Sandals I ordered for my love."
"For my love, but they didn't feet."
"Oh my love, why didn't it fit."
"Oh handsome, you look good."
"Your face has a charm,
I pray may evil do you no harm."
"Boys who dance look so handsome."
"Boys in the dance floor
steal hearts of damsels."
"Winds gush through
lush green fields."
"You play the drums and I will dance."
"I won't be able to
tolerate your attack."
"I have been through a lot."
"There is no way I am
leaving my house for you."
"I won't offer..."
"I won't offer you a ring
just because you look good."
"I won't offer you a ring
just because you look good."
Young lads wear nice turbans.
Young girls wear embroidered dresses.
Nothing can be compared
to the beauty of my Punjab.
No more waiting.

Pamma!
Hey Pamma!
Let's celebrate.
I told you that you should
be a part of the winning team.
I had told coach that they will cheat.
We danced like fools and
they ended up taking the trophy.
What do you say, Pamma?
Why are you asking him?
It's his girlfriend's
mother's plan after all.
- We worked so hard and...
- Why are you dragging into this?
The daughter offered us
milk while the mother schemed.
What did you say?
Didn't you hear it?
Are you deaf?
Hey, hey... what are you doing?
Move back.
This is no place
to create a scene.
Let's go from here.
Didn't you hear me?
Pamma...
I have dedicated my life to Bhangra.
The way our team danced today...
...there was no chance of not
scoring any of the top positions.
It was planned for sure.
Hello?
Hello?
Is Pamma there?
He's still not back.
Who are you?
Hello? Hello?
That's enough.
Have some more.
Please, have some more.
- That's enough.
- I've made it with love.
That's enough.
Our daughter has won. It's not a joke.
Mother...
This is the first time you
look are behaving like a homemaker.
Otherwise, honestly speaking
you used to scare me.
What are you saying, mother?
Where is your daughter?
Strange kind of a victory
she is celebrating.
She isn't even sitting with us.
I'll call her.
Gia!
Gia!
Gia!
Come here, dear.
Sit with us.
What is wrong? Aren't you happy?
You won.
Yes.
Grandma, you know that winner
or losing doesn't matter to me.
But it matters to me.
I am very happy that
my daughter won today.
She won!
What else do we need?
Just a drink to celebrate perhaps.
Hey...
You always need an excuse to drink.
Right?
You drink it every day anyway.
Go ahead and have it.
- I'll go and check.
- Who could it be at this hour?
Pammi?
What are you doing here at this hour?
I want to talk to your mom.
What do you want to talk to her about?
- Who is it?
- No one, mom. Please go, Pammi.
Pamma.
What brings you here?
Go inside, I want to talk to her.
- Wait here.
- What do you want to talk about?
Okay, wait here.
- Why did you do this to me?
- What did I do?
You know what you did.
We couldn't lose,
so we were made to lose.
Really? You cannot lose?
Some people cannot accept defeat.
I can accept defeat,
it's deceit that I cannot accept.
Deceit?
Who deceived you?
We organized such a big youth
festival just to deceive you?
Get out, bloody loser!
- Who are you addressing as a loser?
- Pammi!
Did you hear how he is talking to me?
- What's happening?
- He's her friend.
He's showing us his stature.
How dare you come here!
Now see what happens to you.
What will you do?
I told you our levels
could never match.
I can never go down to this level.
She is my mom, Pamma.
What nonsense are you talking about?
- Get out!
- Stay out of this!
Pamma!
Is this the way to
behave with my parents?
- Sorry.
- What sorry?
Have you gone crazy?
Are you mad?
You pushed my dad!
How is it their fault that you lost?
Don't you feel ashamed?
Get out of here!
Go!
You don't get it.
Let's go.
You don't need to talk to him.
Okay kids, all of you
will tie turbans henceforth.
No one will dance Bhangra
while his head is uncovered. Okay?
No shouting either.
If you need any help then let me know.
Hey... Pamma.
Address him as coach sir,
henceforth. Okay?
Looking hot, mister.
Coach sir, he pushed me.
No, I didn't.
- He's lying.
- No, my grandma said to never lie.
- Your grandma is...
- Agam.
Your grandma has taught you well.
"It is better to lose than to win,
say the carefree mendicant."
"If you win, you get a glass ring."
"If you lose, you get a diamond."
"My brother, Jugni..."
"God bless her, your Jugni!"
"A bright shinning star, your Jugni!"
"Oh fortunate one, your Jugni!"
"A diamond is worth a million."
"Whereas a glass is worth pennies."
"The one who doesn't agree,
is a fool."
"My brother, Jugni..."
"God bless her, your Jugni!"
"A bright shinning star, your Jugni!"
"Oh fortunate one, your Jugni!"
"God bless her, your Jugni!"
"A bright shinning star, your Jugni!"
"Oh fortunate one, your Jugni!"
Work hard.
My grandma always says
hard work is the key to success.
Son? I am Karan's grandma.
I'm here to pick him up.
He praises you a lot.
You've taught him a lot.
Oh really, he talks about me?
Come over some day for dinner, son.
Your uncle loves
to drink local brands.
I don't drink, auntie.
Then you can come over to eat.
Fine, then I'll come
over tomorrow for dinner.
Sure. Let's go, son.
I've invited you so many times.
You never accepted my invitation.
You stay with your married sister.
As if you'll do the cooking.
Grandma, someone's at the door.
Okay, okay.
Answer the door, son.
How are you?
Good.
- Hello, auntie.
- Hello, son.
- How are you?
- Good.
- How about you?
- I am doing great with God's grace.
Your uncle just left.
Get some water, dear.
Have a seat, auntie.
Hello. Have a seat.
Dear, he's the Bhangra coach.
Karan is very good at Bhangra.
I am sure he learnt it from you.
That's why he is so good at it.
Actually son, I don't think
I need to hide anything from you.
My daughter-in-law
doesn't like Bhangra.
Because when she was in college...
...a boy from the Bhangra
team was after her.
Forget it, mummy.
Let's not talk about the
people who aren't important.
Chapter close.
Even I know the story.
My grandma has told
Me a million times...
Karan, stop it.
No, let him tell me.
It's an interesting story.
One day he followed my mom home.
My daughter-in-law and her parents...
...had beaten him black and blue.
They hit him so hard that
he never came to their house again.
Okay!
Okay, okay, auntie.
I too had heard about it.
But I heard that when they turned him
black and blue and threw him out...
Yes?
He just brushed up his
dress and came after them.
- Oh damn.
- Yes.
And he caught hold of uncle.
Then uncle got a fit
because he got scared of him.
Auntie went inside to
get a spoon to control his fit.
Then I heard that
the girl begged the boy.
She asked him to spare them,
To leave them alone.
It's all hearsay, auntie.
It happened around 15 years ago.
Now we don't know where
the girl or the boy is.
No son, the girl is
very happy and well settled.
We don't know what
happened to that boy.
Auntie, I am sure the
boy too must be happy.
I'm sure he mustn't be
crying while hugging his knees.
He too must be leading a good life.
Why talk about the past, son?
Forget it.
Auntie, is the dinner ready?
I'll get it ready right away, son.
Come, let's get the dinner ready.
I cannot move around on my own now.
Let's go.
Tell me something, Pamma...
Did they really beat you up?
Do you think I'll get beaten up?
Everyone moves on, Pammi.
Don't you think women
move on too quickly?
Some men too.
But my brother didn't move on.
Tell me something, Pammi...
Why didn't you move on?
Is it because she left you?
Or was it because you lost?
It was because I lost.
I lost in front of my coach,
my friends, the whole college.
Pammi, you have got another
opportunity to prove yourself.
You live and die for Bhangra.
Okay, I'll get going.
I have to get to work and
then the rehearsals after that.
- I come home late.
- Bye.
You'll see, now he will get married.
Karan!
I've been waiting at
the parking since so long.
Why didn't you come?
Let's go.
No, Karan.
You have to do that step 200 times.
You are still weak at that.
Other kids have already left.
He's holding you back on purpose.
You come with me.
No, I won't.
I'll leave only when
my coach asks me to leave.
We need to talk.
Go on.
Not here.
Not in front of Karan.
Meet me at the cultural cafe,
tomorrow at 4?
Don't wait for me.
Continue!
You are coming now?
I'm not here to meet you.
I'm here for some work.
You're half an hour late.
You were actually waiting for me?
In spite of being a married woman,
you are waiting for another man?
This isn't a date.
Why are you troubling Karan?
I am troubling Karan?
He's the one troubling
all the other kids.
He keeps fighting with everyone else.
Is this what you've taught him?
He has taken after his granny.
Why are you dragging
my mother into this?
That's because your
mother deserves this.
She loves to cause trouble too.
What harm has she done to you?
What roamers has she spread about me?
That I used to stalk you?
I used to trouble you?
You guys had beaten me black and blue?
I am going back to Punjab
during summer vacation.
I'll pay your parents a visit.
We met after 15 years.
I thought we would sit and talk.
I thought I'd ask
you about your children...
...and you'd ask about mine.
I'll tell you that
I forgot to get married.
I'll then say that you're
child has grown so big.
You'll say, "but you still
behave like a child, you idiot."
But neither of us asked
each other to even sit down.
Everyone knows the lie.
But only your mother
and I know the truth.
You'll think I'm lying
even if I tell the truth.
And your mom won't tell you the truth.
Hello.
Hello?
Greetings.
Hello, dear.
What made you think about me today?
Just...
Are you alright?
Yes, I'm fine. Why? What happened?
Nothing.
Tell me something?
What are your plans
for this summer vacation?
No plans, dear.
I'll be at home.
Why stay at home?
Why not go on a holiday, to Shimla?
Shimla? Why?
He's back, mom.
Who is back, dear?
Pamma.
- Who is Pamma?
- Pamma Dhillon.
Pamma Dhillon?
He's back as Karan's coach.
What does he want now?
Nothing.
From the time he has
learnt that Karan is my son...
...he has started troubling Karan.
Then why don't you talk
to your husband about this?
He's out of town.
You know that after we fight, he
disappears for months at the stretch.
I think you should
first get rid of him.
I'll get rid of him later.
I need to get rid of this one first.
Then you should lodge a complaint against
him with the school's principal...
...and get him thrown
out of the school.
Like I spoke to his principal
and got him thrown out of college.
You got him thrown out of college?
Yes, he was acting very smart.
I had to teach him a lesson.
I made him lose the
Bhangra competition too.
Mom, you lied to me.
No, dear...
Gia?
Dear?
Gia?
Here you go. Have some more.
No, I've had enough. I'm stuffed.
What about you?
I'll take one.
These lentils taste delicious.
I cook them well.
You are yet to taste my apple gourd.
My daddy used to cook
lentils just like this.
Daddy?
- Our mother passed away.
- Aw.
You learnt this here?
I've heard the kids say it in class.
So I thought I should use it.
I am sure you will love the lentils.
After all, she has cooked it for you.
Grace, what does
your brother-in-law do?
He owns a gas station.
Okay.
Gas stations don't do good business,
by the way.
I too worked in one for a month or so.
Brother-in-law is here.
- Hello, Mr. Bhullar.
- Hello.
- How come you are here?
- Hello.
She's family.
Noor is Meet's younger sister.
- Have a seat.
- Yes...
He looks familiar.
I must have come
over for gas some day.
You must have seen me there.
Isn't he the same boy who had
misbehaved with me at the gas station?
Forget it, Mr. Bhullar. You
showed up two days before scheduled.
Forget it, Mr. Bhullar.
He has stopped drinking and all.
We are trying to find a match for him.
So that he can settle down.
We too are looking for
someone eligible for her.
You want her to settle down.
We want him to settle down.
So they can settle down together.
Let's celebrate with
something sweet then.
Did you forget to order
sweets when you ordered dinner?
She cooked this dinner for us.
Forget cooking dinner,
she cannot even make tea.
She is just like Pamma.
Hey mister...!
Think well before
you give your consent.
I don't want you to back out later...
"I used to keep
wandering in your city."
"You too used write
my name on your palms."
"Those were beautiful days."
"We weren't bothered about the world."
"I think about the days
when you used to be so innocent."
"I think about the incidents
when I acted crazy."
"I think about the days
when you used to be so innocent."
"I think about the incidents
when I acted crazy."
Can't sleep, coach?
Don't you have a competition
to attend in the morning?
Well, I felt like talking to father.
But he isn't online on Whatapp.
Are you scared of getting
married or of Agam losing?
If you are scared
of getting married...
...then let me tell you that
not all girls are like your sister.
If you are scared
of Agam losing then...
...let me tell you that he
too has Bhangra in his blood.
You are right, brother.
But the kind of relationship
you two share...
...father didn't believe
that you are Bhangra dancer.
When I was a child,
I told him, that the specialty...
...of those who do Bhangra
is that even during troubled times...
...they tap their
thighs and be strong.
Then it's time to tap
your thighs and be strong.
Come on.
"These boys like to dance."
"With the ground they romance."
"The shirt they wear makes
you take another glance."
"Dressed to the impress
at every chance."
"Handsome men do Bhangra
and people praise their excellence."
"Handsome men do Bhangra
and people praise their excellence."
Everyone's ready?
What's wrong?
Why are you so sad?
If I lose, no one in the
school will respect me anymore.
Do you want to win to prove yourself?
I had the same problem
when I was in college.
I was used to winning.
While trying to prove myself
a winner to others, I lost everything.
Always remember that if you won't
respect yourself if you don't win...
...then you won't have
any even if you win.
Now you've confused me even further.
I don't even know whether
I respect myself or not.
Today when you get down from
the stage after your perform, ...
...you will know in here...
...whether or not
you respect yourself.
Don't worry.
Yeah. Sure.
Hi! Hello and welcome, everyone.
I welcome all of you to the Annual
Interschool Bhangra Finals 2018.
We've 12 teams competing
from all over Canada.
Our judges here will select
one of those 12 teams as our winner.
Let's begin famous
folk dance of Punjab...
Bhangra! Bhangra! Bhangra!
"Handsome men do Bhangra
and people praise their excellence."
"Handsome men do Bhangra
and people praise their excellence."
"Your good looks are
pleasing to the eyes."
"If you get many wedding proposals,
I won't be surprised."
"If you get many wedding proposals,
I won't be surprised."
"You brighten everyone's
life with your radiance."
"Handsome men do Bhangra

"Handsome men do Bhangra

So that was Punjab's
famous folk dance, Bhangra!
I want to welcome our judges
to the stage for final results.
Judges, welcome.
And now, the most anticipated
results of the night.
The moment you guys
have been waiting for!
The winner of Annual
Interschool Bhangra 2018 is...
Northway Elementary!
Pamma?
I tried my best to
defeat you today as well.
But your boys defeated me.
Coach sir, no sorry, judge sir...
You used to say...
You have to fall in love with Bhangra.
Many at times,
you realize it too late.
You sometimes have
to accept defeat in love.
God bless you.
Karan is very happy today.
Yes!
He danced well, you saw?
When his coach is so good,
he is bound to dance well.
Pamma, you knew the
truth for 14 years?
If I knew,
it would have been another story.
Then I would have been
able to sit for my exams.
I would have become
a science graduate.
I would have taken
up a job of a teacher.
In a good school in Taaran Taran.
I would have been a good teacher.
I would have taught Bhangra to kids.
You too would have
had a painting academy.
Your paintings would've
commanded a high price.
Painting isn't my profession.
It's my hobby.
I would spend my days painting you.
I wouldn't have free to be your muse.
To pose for hours
so that you'd paint me.
By the way, when I went
to your house the other day...
...I didn't see your
husband's painting anywhere.
He isn't an idler either.
All men are the same, aren't they?
But still, something would
have been different in that world.
Whatever it would have been, it wouldn't
have been better than this world.
"Handsome Jatta,
I'm not so easy to forget..."

"Handsome Jatta,
I'm not so easy to forget..."
Where's my dinner, missus?
When did you ask me to serve dinner?
I thought we'd have our own house.
We would live in peace, you and me.
Oh really, and you forgot my brother?
I didn't forget him. Let me finish.
You, me and your brother.
Ask your friends to
leave their shoes out...
Otherwise, you've had it.
Hello, brother.
I'm back, sister!
You're back so soon?
I liked the movie so much
that I left at the interval.
But didn't you go to work?
I didn't like the work, so
I left that I went to watch a movie.
I didn't like it either.
I don't know what's wrong with me,
brother-in-law.
Nowadays I don't like anything at all.
Except for you.
Because you are always
so pleased to see me.
"There comes my brother-in-law",
you say!
Brother-in-law, I am not
leaving this house because of you.
Otherwise, my college friends have
been begging me to stay with them.
They say that you are useless.
I said even if he is useless,
I won't leave him.
Your shoes are dirty.
You are concerned
about the dirty shoes...
...and not of the fact
that I'm starving...
What's for dinner, sister?
"Handsome Jatta,

"You'll lie down,
look at the roof and cry."
"You'll see my image all around you."
"You'll take my name by mistake
while addressing others too."
"You'll take my name by mistake
while addressing others too."
"Handsome Jatta,
I'm not so easy to forget..."
"You kept follow my bus, tell me..."
"Why did you keep following me?"
"You kept follow my bus, tell me..."
"Why did you keep following me?"
"When you will get
drunk somewhere new..."
"You'll take my name by mistake
while addressing others too."
"You'll take my name by mistake
while addressing others too."
"Handsome Jatta,
I'm not so easy to forget..."
"You invested so much
time to come into my radar."
"Where will you go
after coming so far?"
"You invested so much
time to come into my radar."
"Where will you go

"Weren't you ardent to
your principles hardcore?"
