-No, I want that.
-Give me that.
-It's mine. I want that.
-No, it's mine.
-Give it to me.

you both keep fighting.
Come on, get going.
You are very bad. I won't speak to you.

Uncle, click our photo, quickly.
Come, come. Hey, sit carefully.
-Sit carefully.
-You move there.
-Stay quiet.
-Hey, a little quietly.
-Move there.
-Oh, quietly.
Oh, don't fight. Here I come.
Are y'all done fighting?
-Shall we get clicked?
-Yes.
Look at the camera now.
Right! Smile please. One...
Two...
Three!
Present day
The last chair in the last round...
On one hand is the champion...
of our office since 30 years,
Shashi madam.
On the other...
-is her new replacement, Geeta.
-"Womanhood is tough"
Will Geeta take away the chair...
and championship from Shashi madam?
-"Womanhood is tough"
-On her send-off...
will Shashi madam win or will Geeta?
We will get the results in a moment.
Madam will surely win.
-Hey!...
-Ah!...
There's the winner!
Yeah!
Madam won!
Finally Shashi madam won.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Thank you very much.
C'mon, Tamhankar, what a long commentary!
It felt like the World Cup finals.
Why bother? I'd have won anyway!
-Right? There was no other possibility.
-Hmm...
All I want to say is that...
this wouldn't be possible
without your help.
Otherwise winning Employee
of the Year four times...
then on many other occasions...
I represented the company
as a spokesperson at seminars.
-Hmm...
-I won every championship ever held.
So, I'm happy.
But now...
I neither have that cabin...
nor that chair.
But I did win the musical chair!
But with Geeta taking over my place,
let's see how she performs.
Work will get done...
but it's impossible
to find my replacement.
Right?
"I slipped just like that"
"What do you think?"
"You got excited"...
"I slipped just like that"
"How are you doing, mister?"
"What do you think?"
Hello, Mom, I'm in a hurry.
Shall I call you later?
Hey, listen...
What about lunch?
Meaning? It's getting ready.
Is Akshay's mom cooking?
Huh! I'm sure the maid is making it.
Why will the maid do it, Mom?
-Ah!... Last time--
-Listen, Mom...
should I take an off?
Bye, I'll call you later.
Huh! Mom!
-Mom, you here...
-Here's your tiffin.
What for?
-I have one.
-Hey, this is much better.
Call me to inform which was better.
Why call you?
You're coming for the party today.
Did you forget?
Oh, yes.
Who all are coming?
You, me, Akshay...
-And--
-Akshay's mummy.
-Mom!
-Look there.
My tiffin has pushed over
the one sent by Akshay's mummy.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
-Oh, it's hot!
-Easy. Oh, you!
Help yourself.
-Listen, I have good news to share.
-Hmm?
I'm getting promoted.
-Wow!
-Congratulations!
Congratulations!
-Thank you. Thank you so much.
-That's great!
Why didn't you tell me first?
I'm telling you now, right?
But of course,
that's not the good news...
because I'm not accepting the promotion.
Akshay and I have decided
to plan for a baby.
-What?
-Huh!
Oh!... Yes... Yes... Okay...
Mom, wine?
No, I don't drink.
Not for you.
-I asked Mom.
-Oh, yes.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
I too have good news.
At this age?
Mom!
Hmm...
There's a Mangalagaur competition
and I've registered for it!
Ah!... Oh!
Oh, oh!
It's a big event.
To be honest,
my group motivated me so much...
I decided to participate.
-Or me, at this age...
-Exactly! At this age...
Mom, please! Age doesn't matter.
-Yeah, so true. Absolutely.
-In fact, you're so young and dynamic...
I'm so sure you'll win.
I'm so happy for you.
But there's one condition...
-I will choose the sari for the finale.
-Oh, yes!
Wear that. Promise?
-Okay, okay.
-Done!
-Okay, one more thing...
-Sit down.
I'll select your jewellery too. Okay?
-Yes, dear.
-And wear the long wedding chain.
Okay you only do it. Okay!
It'll look really nice, right?
The women said I should
tie a bun and have bangs.
It'll look really nice...
Can I get a form for
the Mangalagaur contest?
I want to participate.
-Sorry?
-Mangalagaur...
I want the form for that contest.
-Form?
-Yes.
-Here.
-Without a husband
can I partake the contest?
Sorry?
Didn't you understand?
Without husband can I participate?
Ma'am, this is only for women.
You can perform without your husband.
Mangalagaur is meant for women anyway!
But can a widow participate?
-Widow?
-Widow!
Widow, no husband... Can she participate?
Okay, I'll fill the form. Okay!
That's for me, right?
What?
Did I crack a joke?
Why are you laughing?
Huh? It's a big event. That's why.
-Okay.
-All are scared.
My neighbour...
my sister-in-law...
They're all scared.
But you're brave.
-Yes.
-Yes, that's why.
As for dance, I'll teach you. Don't worry.
But I can't handle the Mangada Gaur stuff.
-What?
-Mangada Gaur.
-Oh, God!
-Huh?
Hey... It's the letter 'L,'
say it properly. Say it!
That's what I can't manage.
Listen, you have five sisters.
Speak to them.
-When will they be of use, huh?
-Uff!
My sisters are a different matter.
They're strange.
-Madam, shall I?
-Hmm...
The formula of Pythagoras theorem
for the right angle triangle...
is given by A square plus B square
is equal to C square.
Good. What's your name?
Shashi.
Sit down!
Shashi!
-Did you take the water bottle?
-Yes.
Sadhana...
-Yes, Baba?
-Since you're stepping out,
go to Morvekar and pay the maintenance.
-I'll do it.
-And, listen...
-Huh?
-a new tenant has come upstairs.
His relatives keep ringing our bell.
They spoil our afternoon siesta.
Lodge a complaint against him.
I'll do it.
-Also...
-Huh?
the doctor has told
not to eat eggplant.
-For a week, eggplant...
-I will make it.
What?
-No, I said that by mistake.
-Okay.
I won't make it.
Madam, try without the wedding chain.
Are you crazy?
I won't leave Anirudh so easily.
Wow, Vaibhav! New car?
Yes, I bought it today.
Nice. Let's go.
Vaibhav, this car is much better.
At least finish the ritual for this one.
Aryan, Arjun, stop! I'll thrash you both.
-Listen...
-Hey, come on, run...
Just listen to me!...
Charu, where's my wallet?
-Where's my watch and my footwear?
-Wallet's in the bedroom.
The footwear is there. Just look.
Who keeps footwear here?
-Here, get ready!
-Did you call the priest?
Is the catering cheque taken?
They'll suck my blood...
Look, I have to answer him.
Here's the wallet. I'll manage everything.
Don't worry.
And Arjun... Arjun!
Aryan, hurry up. It's getting late.
Oh, Wow!... Look here.
Handsome!
They've gone on their father. Just look!
-What's this?
-Huh?
-You're not ready!
-Oh, yes.
-Sorry.
-What sorry?
You women are always late.
Come on, hurry up.
Aunt, why are you blocking the way?
How are you?
-Retirement is evident from your face.
-Is it?
And tummy too!
Vaibhav is also here.
-Huh!
-Sister Shashi!
-You look pretty.
-How are you?
Nice.
How are you?
How do I look?
Ah...
Nice.
You came so late!
Are you here only to dine?
There was huge traffic
and I couldn't find the hall.
Oh, c'mon! Don't give excuses.
I've come from Kolhapur on time.
Vaibhav is taking too long.
He must be parking.
Our new car is just too good.
We bought it for 2.2 million.
Useful for travelling long distances.
What I did is, I switched on the AC,
pulled my seat back, stretched my legs
and slept peacefully.
I woke up directly in Mumbai.
Vaibhav...
Where's Pallavi?
Hi, Soham!
Good morning, Mom.
Mom, this is Jamie.
Mom, I had told you... Tinder girl.
Jamie, she's my mom.
Hi.
Mom, she said hi.
Huh?... Ah... Hi.
Where's dad?
I want to introduce her.
Umm...
He's in the bathroom.
And you know...
once he enters the bathroom...
he takes forever.
Cool!
Ah... I'll call in the evening.
Then I can talk to him, right?
-Okay, I've to study now.
-Okay.
-Oh!
-Bye, mom.
-Bye, son. Take care.
-See you later. Bye, bye.
-Bye, Johnny.
-Bye.
Bye.
Mom said...
-Anirudh sent divorce papers.
-Huh?
-And Pallavi went mad seeing them.
-Oh!
-Come on, sit together.
-She's not willing to sign.
Careful.
-Sister... twins are connected, right?
-Hmm?
What if I go mad because of her?
Sister, look out nightingale is here!
-Oh!
-Hey... Easy!
-Take it easy.
-Look at her like a war hero.
-Hmm...
-Hmm-mm...
-Give it to me.
-Look at her hand.
-Here.
-She has a bandage on...
but her excitement hasn't decreased.
Like they say...
do good...
and get damned!
What?
She helped Charu get a job in her bank.
-So?
-Now Charu is on top of her...
-...as her boss.
-Oh, God!
And her daughter-in-law is also strange.
Why? What about her?
They fought?
No fights...
-...she keeps flunking.
-Flunking?
In CA exams.
-Oh!
-And...
And Sadhana pampers her like a mother.
It's a fad these days.
During our days,
daughters-in-law and
mothers-in-law played their roles.
Now mothers-in-law
are simply playing mothers!
Hmm...
Arun is walking with the purse.
That means sister will celebrate
the ceremony in the bathroom again.
What's new in that?
She's never happy seeing others happy.
Jaya, are you done? Charu is waiting.
Hurry up.
All are asking for you. Come soon.
Ketaki, hope you read about
the Mangalagaur contest in the papers.
It's a big event.
-Wait, I'll give you water.
-Golden days.
Those were such lovely days.
I'm sure...
she'll be play the Mangalagaur
very well even now.
-Got it?
-No way.
-Speak softly.
-Okay.
Look... we don't follow Mangalagaur.
And, is this our age to play Mangalagaur?
Age is not the problem, time is.
Home, office and unending things to do.
Sit straight. Who has the time?
-There you go!
-Hey!
You need a break in a busy life!
Enjoyment. Right?
Besides we'll win prize money if we win.
How much prize money?
Big amount.
2.5 million.
2.5 million!
What's with the money?
Our showroom earns that much in one day.
No, well, I am not greedy for money...
but like they say this will...
help everyone bond. That's why.
How much cash did you remove?
Where's your card?
-It's ahead in the bag.
-Ahead...
Why did you change the sari?
What's going on?
The pleats came off.
And you know how these two cling to me.
What...
Charu...
Answer the phone.
Patil from the bank. Talk to him.
Why should I speak to him?
You're a banker, right?
Speak for me. Here, take.
Yes, but since you have
taken the business loan...
you should speak.
You're right, but you speak once.
Why didn't you answer?
-I was saying--
-Why didn't you answer?
You're my wife, right?
Charu, who'll support me if you don't?
We both know...
how much loss that business caused us.
How much we have suffered.
So, I took a break.
I genuinely need some
soul-searching, Charu.
And I...
don't want this tension in my head...
I'm not able to tolerate
it anymore, Charu.
You understand, right?
Sorry.
It's okay.
Do one thing...
I'll give Patil your number.
So you can speak to
him directly on my behalf.
Wonder how I will repay the loan.
I need to win a lottery now.
Uh!... Who's messaging and
disturbing at this hour?
Sister Shashi,
I'm ready for the Mangalagauri.
When do we meet?
Mazumdar?
I called to ask...
we came to your place yesterday.
Did my wife leave her mobile there?
No?
He said it's not there.
Bloody hell, ruined my game!
Forget it,
I anyway wanted a different colour.
Have you lost it?
Do you realize what you're saying?
It was your 4th phone.
You always want expensive things.
Lose them then buy new ones again.
Do I grow money on trees?
Why mention things of the past?
-I don't always--
-Yes, you do!
You have no brains to earn a single penny.
All you do is spend!
Now sit without a phone.
If you want one, buy it with money...
you've earned.
I won't give you a single penny.
Are you saying that seriously?
Okay.
Now I'll return...
with a phone...
bought with my money.
Sadhana!
Sadhana, come inside.
What's this?
Balance sheet.
I can see that...
and the mistakes in it too.
Such basic mistakes!
Arjun and Aryan also
don't make such mistakes.
Arjun and Aryan don't wake up at 4.30...
and cook for five people
and pack four tiffins...
and finish chores too.
But I have to do all that.
Do your work properly.
You're older than me, right?
Is it?
Then you should also call me sister
out here.
Before all bank employees...
don't yell at me calling out my name.
This is our office, not home.
In fact, you should be calling me madam.
If you're done discussing personal things,
let's talk about work.
Wait a minute.
I want this balance sheet corrected today.
Vasanta, not as a psychiatrist...
but as a friend I confide in you.
Jaya is turning in circles.
Arun mentioned some problems.
What do you have to say about that?
I mean, is there anything more happening?
What's his problem?
Jaya, why do you say that?
We came to him.
-At least, as my friend--
-Not us...
You.
I didn't want to come here.
Jaya, how many more days will you escape?
Your blackouts...
and disinterest in everything...
and continual depression...
how long will you defy it all?
Arun is worried about you.
Hence, he spoke to me
and got you here.
But hereafter you have to fight.
It's your problem.
And a bigger problem
is eating you from within.
Jaya!
Jaya?
I am not crazy.
Ice cream?
Hi, sister!
Hmm... Take.
You haven't visited since three years.
Good you came.
Art of Life.
Two months ago we'd gone to Bali.
Just like that. We were bored.
That's why we went.
The tour cost us 550,000.
I did this Art of Life session there.
It was just too good.
They said...
increase your human connect.
Made sense to me.
Look at us...
We are six sisters.
But we never meet up.
So I came over.
So? When will you leave?
Mom, why didn't you tell me you're
partaking the Mangalagaur contest?
I had a headache that day.
That's why I forgot.
But it's nice. I'm truly excited.
-In fact, you know...
-Good morning.
Mom was saying that...
if you don't have a team,
you can join her team.
Oh, no!
Why not?
Do you have a team?
"Let's play"
Of course, I have a team.
That's why, you don't bother.
Someone's here.
I'll call back.
"Mom!"
"Let's play Mangalagaur"
-Hi, sister Shashi!
-Hey!
Surprise!
Where are the others?
I'm super excited!
-About?
-The Mangalagaur competition.
Our family has so many WhatsApp groups.
I left as soon as I heard of it.
Wow! What a view!
The Sea Link is looking amazing.
Good your house went for redevelopment.
Hence, I kept asking you over.
I was stuck.
I heard about the divorce.
Are you fine, Pallu?
Hey...
What will happen to me? Totally chillax!
Once I sign, I'll be free.
Now I have only one mantra in life. YOLO.
-YOLO?
-Yes.
You only live once.
Hey...
What a lovely view!
One will lose track of time sitting here,
right?
Do you want to speak to Shashi?
Yes, I mean...
she mentioned about
that Mangalagaur competition.
I was thinking about that...
in view of Art of Life.
We sisters can connect after years.
That's why... How do you like the idea?
Which idea?
- I was saying--
-To go to Shashi.
Ketaki is going to Shashi?
Then for whom did I get
the ingredients of 'Pav Bhaji.'
-Urmila, I'll check.
-Okay, sister.
She's lost it.
She's getting a divorce, right?
And she's keen on Mangalagaur?
The family is yet to stabilise...
-...and look at her dress up like that!
-Shh!...
Speak softly.
-She might hear you.
-Let her.
Dress up, right? Indeed!
Done.
We'll go for Mangalagaur.
-Yes!
-Awesome!
Let's call sister Sadhana and Jaya too...
-and have a blast.
-Yes.
-Let's call them.
No, not Sadhana.
-Why?
-She's a fool.
-Hey...
-What are you saying?
Who will sing if not Sadhana? We?
-Tell her.
-We want Sadhana.
-Yes, we need her.
-Agreed.
Fine, I'll check.
I'll bring her.
Better. Better!
"Let's play Mangalagaur"
But you must bring sister Jaya.
What rubbish? Why her?
-We are there, that's enough.
-What do you mean?
Listen...
you and sister Jaya
used to play superb 'fugdi.'
-In the past...
-There was one more thing...
-Something...
-'Hodi.'
Right 'hodi.'
-I remember.
-You do, right?
'Hodi' was your winning point.
-Yes.
-We need sister Jaya for sure.
I'll bring her.
-Bravo.
-Superb!
Superb!
So, are you ready?
Shall we discuss the problem?
Do you have some problem?
Because I don't.
She knows what the problem is.
But she doesn't want to accept it.
Shashi... Her problem is Shashi.
So? 'Barfi' or 'pedha'?
Say it. 'Barfi' or 'pedha'?
-They chose 'barfi.'
-They chose 'barfi.'
-'Barfi.'
-They both chose 'barfi'!
Shashi...
Chinmayee and Mrinmayee.
How do you like the names?
-So, Chinu and Minu? Nice.
-Yes.
-My Chinu.
-My Chinu.
But Chinu is mine.
Fine, your Chinu.
-Happy?
-Yes.
You want everything as per your terms.
So the problem is Shashi?
No.
Then why did you send
Ketaki out of the house?
Why did you get so upset on
hearing about the Mangalagaur contest?
Wait a minute. Mangalagaur?
It's a competition.
All the sisters are participating.
Wow!
Why aren't you participating?
Because I'm not crazy.
You're avoiding Shashi!
I'm not avoiding anyone.
Why would she matter to me?
Then my work is done.
Participate in the Mangalagaur...
and we'll end this session.
Jaya, I believe that
Shashi is not your problem.
Do you?
You've made mistakes.
So I have no choice but to complain.
Don't complain.
Please give me a chance.
-Please!
-Fine.
Now that you're requesting,
I'll think over it.
But for that,
you need to do one thing for me.
What?
Join us for the Mangalagaur competition.
Mangalagaur?
Have you gone mad?
"Let's play..."
Respected...
head of the department...
Mrs...
Sadhana...
Baba won't agree.
Why to get him along!
Come secretly.
Your experience of eloping will help!
Not possible!
I...
hereby...
"Lets..."
Come.
OMG! You did great, sister!.
Kakade Abode
-The house is still the same.
-Indeed.
But they have tenants.
Avdoot is earning well.
Wow!
Sister, there can't be
a better place to rehearse.
When will sister come?
She won't come.
Can you see? Huh?
Allergic to dust, right?
Shut that. I can see clearly.
The windows have been opened.
-Shut that torch, it's hurting my eyes.
-It was dark, thats why.
Look at her coughing!
Oh, my God!
The Mangalagaur contest's...
first round will take
place in a month's time...
on a small scale.
The teams that win will go to the finals.
So, three days a week...
we meet here to practice. Okay?
Wait a minute! Three days?
-Dude! Friday, Saturday, Sunday!
-Yes.
-No way.
-Why?
-Work...
-Not here.
-It will spoil my hair.
-Go ahead.
We spoke of week days.
How can I take leave for three days?
-Yes...
-Hey...
And household chores...
-Who will manage that?
-Your husband.
He's home these days.
He does nothing.
You're no good either.
Can you even deposit a cheque in the bank?
Careful! Do you want water?
Does the practice begin today or tomorrow?
-Sister!
-Sister!
-Sister, welcome.
-Awesome.
I'm so excited!
Avdoot told me you're meeting here.
I too was missing you.
So I came.
So... Shall we begin?
-Come on, sister. Come!
-Come, sister Jaya.
-Come.
-Come, sister.
Swami...
"Praised"
"Praised be Goddess"
"Mangalagauri"
She's getting it.
"I offer prayers with a golden tray"...
-"With gems"...
-Enough.
"Let's play Mangalagaur"...
"Mangalagaur"
"The game of Gaurai"
-Wow, Pallavi.
-Charu, very good.
Sister, dance. Why are you sitting?
Ketaki, why did you stop? Dance.
Play that again. Why did you stop?
Play it.
Charu!
"Let's play Mangalagaur".
Wow.
Sister...
Is she getting divorced or married?
At least she's dancing.
"Let's play Mangalagaur"
Charu, let's have water.
Oh, dear!
I'm tired. My back hurts.
Grown old!
All have become obese.
Either their back hurts or knees!
Oldies!
They moan and groan for everything.
I give it to you in writing...
this foolishness won't
last more than seven days.
"Praised"
"Praised be Goddess Mangalagauri"
"I pray"...
"I pray"...
"with a golden tray"
-Hmpf!
-Sadhana, what's wrong?
Nothing... By mistake.
Swami, I beg you...
let me sing well.
Listen to me...
how about looking for a job for you?
I don't think the Mangalagaur thing
will work out.
Everyone's going crazy.
How long will we avoid things?
So, I think.
Charu, you worry too much. Seriously.
Look at me. I'm relaxed with no tension.
It's just one day.
Magic never happens in a day.
You're a fighter. Fight it. Hmm?
-Won't put up with your attitude always.
-Shut up!
Why are you yelling at me?
Who are you?
Are you some queen?
Enough of your nonsense!
-Why did you touch my bag?
-Sister, move...
Who are you?
It's not my fault that
I'm prettier than you.
You're jealous!
Why did you touch my bag?
You're so riled up simply
because I touched your bag.
-Hey!
-Don't touch other people's things too.
You're still paying for
what you did back then. Yet you...
Ketaki!
Keep quiet!
Don't you dare say anything more!
Sorry.
Who has come? So many footwear?
Swami!
Let me see.
What is it? Look. Just look.
Wow. Amazing!
Too good!
What's this?
I called them for formation.
They're college girls.
We'll teach them Mangalagaur.
Huh?
Enough!
Nice song though.
Let's go. Don't put your weight on me.
I'm suffocating. Come.
Seeing them made me break out in sweat.
And you... What's your problem?
Why are you late?
I've to make different
vegetables for both meals.
And Baba sends Vinod
everyday to the station...
to drop and fetch me.
I've to fool him and come here.
I'm in a very bad state.
Sister, he's here to meet you.
Yes. Send him in.
Now!
-I called a trainer for our fitness.
-Go inside.
-Come.
-Hello. Hello.
Hello.
-Oh, dear.
-Sorry.
-Look around you.
-Hey! Shut up!
Why him?
Do we also have to exercise now?
We need sandpaper
to polish rusted things, right?
-Shall we begin?
-This sandpaper?
-Yes.
-Oh, my God!
-Yes.
-Up!
Up!... Very good!
One second, come here.
"Let's play..."
Why buy sports bra? The old ones will do.
-Let's go before someone sees us.
-It's needed.
It looks bad when we jump.
Did you see the price? 2,000!
Never mind.
-A good comfortable bra is an investment.
-Told you!
Baba will bash me if
I make such an investment.
-Father-in-law!
-Why you show this to father-in-law too?
Hey! Why tell this to your father-in-law?
Oh, you're already done?
Yes, so?
This is your size?
How does size matter?
I liked this colour. Go ahead.
Don't hand it to him. You do it.
Do you even know your size?
Or is it still the same
after so many years?

He's busy.

We trusted him, sanctioned
his loan and now he won't answer calls.

Good that only I saw!
What if someone from
the family had seen you?
Have you ever thought about it?
Swami!
Do you like to dance?
You dance well.
But you must focus on your studies too,
child.
Okay?
'She dances really well.'
'But what if Baba learns of it?'
'So she'll face the same fate as me?'
Baba, Sadhana stood first
in the singing competition.
Nice.
Great!
You eloped and married.
I accepted it.
But these activities...
won't be tolerated in this house.
Understood?
Hereafter, all this...
won't happen in this house.
Go!
Ani, I came to speak to you.
-Pallavi, you--
-Ani, listen...
-Pallavi-- Enough!
-Ani, please listen...
Look, don't avoid me like this.
Ani, listen!
Hello.
Good you're here.
I was planning to visit you.
You just saved my trip.
I'm here to take back my husband.
Ah... You've come here for the first time.
What will you have?
Tea, coffee or sandwiches?
Our sandwiches are famous.
Wait a minute.
I know it's difficult for you.
But I think you should
sign the divorce papers.
Oh, really?
But I won't sign.
I came here all the way
from Goa only to take Ani back.
I need to talk to him.
I don't understand...
why he's avoiding me.
-We're getting married next year.
-Huh?
We're getting engaged
by the end of this year.
You have to let it go.
Ani!
-Ani!
-While you were together...
when did you see him smile?
I just saw...
He forgot to smile while he was with you.
Do you know Ani's best friend's name?
Which song of Dev Anand does he love?
Which cigarette does he smoke secretly?
What's his granny's name?
His favourite football match?
Which was the first comic he read?
He saw a play 25 times in a theatre.
Do you know its name? Huh?
Do you?
As for smiling...
a joke is enough.
It makes you laugh a lot.
But married life is not a joke.
And like you said...
perhaps I didn't see Aniket smiling.
But I did see him cry.
When he was dejected and disappointed,
he'd cry in my arms.
Understood?
That's what you call married life.
Hmm?
Even then he won't come back.
Sign the--
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"What did you do with my bangles?"
"I gave them to brother's
wife when he got married"
"What did you do with my necklace?"
"I gave it to mom
when I visited my parents"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"Hey co-wife why you took my bangles?"
"Hey co-wife why you took my bangles?"
"Hey co-wife why did you take
away my husband."
"Why? Why? Why?"
Enjoying, right?
What happened?
Everything's over, sister.
-Ani is marrying her!
-What?
Who gets married at 50?
The girl is beautiful.
She's slim.
She's young and...
Look at me.
Look!
I had come to take him back home.
But everything's over.
Don't cry, Pallu.
Calm down, Pallu.
-Hello.
-No, you go to hell.
-Oh, Aryan, Arjun...
-That video game is mine.
-What...
-Charu...
they're fighting again.
They're just fighting badly.
Then speak to them. Make them understand.
-Understood?
-Patil!
-Hello... Hello?
-Yes.
-Yes, Patil sir.
-What about the installment?
-Yes, I've transferred one installment.
-That's not enough.
-I know. If you could give me a month...
-Pay as soon as possible.
Yes, Ashu...
Charu, this is too much.
If you spend some time at home,
they'll be disciplined.
But you...
You're either in office or Mangalagaur.
Look, you need some balance in life.
Don't forget you have a family. Please.
How much will I manage alone?
Sor--
Madam, your health check up is pending.
When do I schedule it?
Go to hell! I'm dying and
you're talking about health checkup?

Take.
iPhone 11.
That's the one you wanted?
Here, take it!
No!
And I'm planning to stay
in Mumbai for some days.
What for?
What for?
For my sisters.
For me.
And Pallavi needs me.
Have you lost it?
Everyone's waiting back home.
What will my parents say?
And do you know how our staff
has prepared for the anniversary?
They've put up a 18 by 22
hoarding at Ganesh Chowk.
What will they think?
What will they all think?
That's why you came here.
Is it our anniversary or a public event?
That's also a waste of money, right?
Stop here.
Here, why here?
You're from Kolhapur.
sBut I'm from Mumbai.
I'll can go alone.
It was great!
-Was it good?
-Wait... Wait!
-We're ready for the first round!
-Yeah!
Put that properly. Not like this.
Okay. This is proper, right?
-They're playing well.
-Indeed.
Really nice. Check my clip.
It's hurting.
Check. Is it proper now?
Yeah, okay.
Has this loosened?
-She did that step so well.
-Indeed.
-I won't be able to manage with these.
-Me neither.
-Is this proper?
-Yeah.
I've been calling but
Sadhana isn't answering.
She always does that.
Mom, huh!
Whose is this?
What am I asking? Whose is this?
M... M... Mine.
Oh no, she's lying.
It's... It's mine.
I've been calling Sadhana since long.
She's not answering.
After seeing that dance,
do you really think...
we have a chance?
-Answer it.
-Pick it up.
-Tell me.
-Shashi, I can't come.
-My family has found the truth.
-What?
Listen-- Sadhana isn't coming!
So? Did you like the performance?
In this Mangalagaur competition
the next participants are...
Kakade sisters from Mumbai.
But... But... People...
before they do, we'll take a small break.
So people,
get some snacks and refreshments...
-and come back to the contest.
-Oh!
Take it off.
We have 25 minutes. Enough time.
It'll take 7 minutes
to reach Sadhana's house...
and another 7 to return.
Let's go bring her.
-What is she saying?
-Nobody will interrupt me!
We will partake this contest, that's it!
Let's bring Sadhana. Come!
Let's go. Please look after our purses.
We'll be back.
-Come, come on...
-Hurry up!
What's wrong?
Ah... Nothing much.
I got a call
from the dance class yesterday.
There was a performance.
Shh!... Somebody might hear.
Ah... Sorry.
But now I'm fine.
I spoke to Darpan.
He said once we shift,
I can rejoin dance classes.
Finally I'll be free.
Vinod, will I stop singing forever?
Sadhana, once we shift...
you can do what you want.
It's just a matter of some days. Really.
-What are they doing here?
-Hurry up!
-What's her surname?
-Bhosle.
-Hurry up.
-Come on, move.
My legs are aching.
-"Let's play"...
-Hurry up!
-Which floor? Higher up still?
-Shh!...
-Y'all?
-Come, come...
Energy meant for Mangalagauri's
got spent here!
-Why have you come?
-To take you.
There's no time. Get dressed quickly.
Have you lost it? How can I come?
Manage it somehow and come.
Where did she come from?
I took the lift!
-We're fools to take the stairs!
-Hey, you come now.
-No, but Baba...
-I'll handle him.
-I beg you...
-Move aside...
Don't tell Baba...
-Listen to me...
-Move in.
It's so dark. Switch on the light.
-Please get us water.
-Hey...
Jaya, sit down.
Hello.
How are you?
We are here to take
Sadhana away from some time.
-What?
-You see, there's a Mangalagauri contest.
It's a huge event.
All of us are participating.
You know how well Sadhana sings.
When she sings, we begin to dance.
That's why we've come to take her.
What's all this?
Sadhana, what Mangalagaur?
Lower your voice!
What?
Lower the TV's volume. I can't hear.
-Use the remote and lower it.
-Yes... Yes.
So, can we take her?
Look, perhaps this
is allowed in your family.
Such foolishness is
not allowed in our family.
Foolish!
Huh?
You're such a fool!
You've been living for
years stifling your desires.
What's this? Huh?
Sadhana, you regained your
voice with great difficulty.
Don't let it be stifled again.
Enough!
Sadhana...
Hey, go inside.
Go.
"Soar to the skies, O bird"
"Soar to the skies, O bird"
"Leave the golden cage behind"
"Leave the golden cage behind"
Superb!
Forgive me, Baba.
Hey!
Let's go.
-Oh, no!
-Come.
Leave now.
-Yes, see you.
-Who will sing now?
Come.
Shashi!
We need a dancer too, Baba.
-Let's go.
-Hurry up!
"Let's play"...
Go away. Get lost!
Don't come back to this house.
"Let's play"...
"Let's play"...
-How much more time?
-The results will be declared now.
-Come quickly.
-Where to?
We're yet to perform.
The contest is over.
The results are being announced.
-How so?
-Hey, what are you doing?
Congratulations to the two finalists.
So people...
of the six teams who
have gone to the finals...
the last team is...
Ujjwala Patki's Runjhunta Pakhra!
Wow! Great!
They are all very elated!
They are so happy!
It was fun!
All the best to you!
Friends, see you in the finals.
See you all. Bye-bye!
'It's easy to intoxicate

'It's easy to intoxicate

You know Ajit...
used to say couplets while drinking.
They convey a lot.
Let' see... what fun we derive from it.
Right? Cheers.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
Swami.
Jaya, it's your turn now.
Sister, please have.
Hey, don't force her.
She won't have it anyway. She won't drink.
-She's different, not one of us.
-Sister, enough now.
Fine! Sadhana insists, so enough.
-Let's play a game.
-What?
Right here. On this table.
Tell me...
why couldn't we partake
today's contest?
Let it be!
Nobody knows the answer. I'll tell you.
She cast an evil eye.
-Shut up, sister!
-What shut up?
My Chinu is going away from me.
That old hag who won...
is her mother-in-law.
Her new mother.
No wonder she looked familiar to me!
I wanted to defeat that hag and show...
Chinu that her real mom is still cool.
Hmm...
-But you all had come for a picnic!
-What?
-Look what she's saying!
-Of course!
Picnic? This was a picnic?
What else was it?
Work for 16 hours in the office...
manage the home...
then dance with you.
That's a picnic?
I have a loan worth millions to repay.
And you... Crap!
It's okay for you guys...
at least you had
your husbands to support.
-What about me?
-I don't have one.
-Yours died!
-Huh!
-What are you saying?
-Mine is still alive.
Swami!
I hold no value.
Come on, drink.
I'm worthless like this peel.
Ugh!
Hey!
I didn't have the nuts,
so I won't clean up.
-Peel!
-Hey!
You made yourself worthless.
Or you had everything.
You're an independent woman.
And look at me...
-I lost one phone and he yelled at me.
-Four!
-Four.
-Four?
She lost four phones.
In my entire family...
I hold the least value.
-Do you know why?
-Why?
Because I don't earn.
Hmm...
-Sir.
-How much have they had yet?
It's their first glass.
-Even so?
-I don't know about women's stamina.
Keep an eye lest they fight.
-Be careful.
-Yes, sir.
-You can't be sure of women.
-Yes, true.
The phone is ringing...
-It's hers.
-Sorry, sorry.
Time to wrap up.
I've to leave now.
Charu, leave the car here.
We'll go to the station, okay?
We'll go by train from the station.
Hey, we catch trains from stations only.
What crap!
Yeah, I know!
Shh!...
Stop it. Laughing for no reason.
All right, I'll pay the bill.
Come, come, Ms. Kolhapur.
-Hail, Swami... Shh!...
-Get up, stop chanting god's name.
Stumbling again.
Walk straight when you're drunk. Got it?
Come, sister...
What?
I'm casting an evil eye.
How much more?
I'm not one of yours.
You're right.
You taught me that.
Where were you when I lost Minu?
Your Chinu calls someone mom...
so you joined a competition.
I had nobody to call me mom!
Chinu and I were lonely when Ajit died.
Why didn't you come then?
Why didn't you come then?
At 11.37 p.m...
Hey, I'll pay. Come.
Slow local will arrive on platform...
"Pinga"
"Pinga"
"Pinga"
"Pinga"

"Your pinga dance beckoned
me and kept me back, pinga'
"Pinga"
Hey... Stop it.
-Stop that.
-Why what happened?
Yes.
-Sorry.
-What rubbish is this?
Huh? Is that how you do pinga dance?
Huh?... Pinga?
Hu-huh? Don't you know Pinga?
No?
You...
Hey... Manners.
Tradition.
-Culture. Do you understand?
-What is all this?
Is that how you do pinga dance?
Drat!
-I'll show you how it's done.
-Hey!
I'll show you on the railway station.
C'mon, ladies.
-Sister Shashi!
-C'mon!
-Listen...
-Hip-hop dance rubbish on pinga...
-Shashi...
-Sister, just listen.
Look at me.
-Watch my step!
-Play it!
"Pinga"
"Your brother has a crooked
nose and black skin, pinga"
"Your pinga dance beckoned
me and kept me up all night"
"My sister is fair-skinned
and she's pretty, pinga"

me and killed my hunger"
"Pinga, dear girl, pinga"
"Pinga"
"Pinga"

"Pinga"
Sister, I'm leaving.
-Go safe.
-Yes.
-Inform me when you reach.
-Yes.
I'll open it.
See you.
Don't think of anything now.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Shall we order for something today?
Why?
Celebration... of Mangalagaur competition.
We didn't win.
We were disqualified.
But that's what you wanted, right?
I mean, not exactly that...
but you wanted all this to end soon.
Hence, celebration.
No need for it.
Don't find excuses.
You miss your sisters, right?
Are you a therapist too?
You wait out.
I'll manage.
Okay.
So Pallavi?
'I won't drink ever again. Never ever!'
-Okay, but have this lemonade.
-Okay, give.
Hey, wait! The wrong one.
-Take this.
-I'll be fine, right?
-My head is aching.
-You'll feel better.
It has ginger.
Who is it now?
-What?
-Mom!
What have you done?
We couldn't do anything.
We got eliminated.
Mom, what have you done?
We were together last
night so I drank a lot.
Never again.
Mom, you're famous.
-Switch on the TV.
-Huh?
It's viral.
I don't have viral.
Do I look sick?
We've gone viral!
Switch on the TV.
TV... Remote... Oh, God!
It's said this viral video...
was shot at...
a western suburban
railway station in Mumbai.
This video shows...
an energetic dance performance...
depicting Marathi culture.
The women in the video...
are middle-aged homemakers...
from the working class.
Let's learn more about these women
from our reporter Sagar.
Sagar, what do you have to say...
"Womanhood is tough, God"
You've gone viral.
"Womanhood is tough, God"
"Womanhood is tough"
Not Patil...
Let it not be Patil.
Charu, the contest organisers called me.
Our station video went viral...
so we're given a wild card entry.
Oh man, Shashi!
Yeah!
What's this?
Where's the jewellery?
There's nothing in here.
-Swami!
-Even from this...
things are missing
including the blouses.
Yes, I rejected them.
Meaning? Without the blouse?
-Huh?
-Hey! What without blouse?
Rented clothes are used by many.
We'll buy new ones.
We get awesome ready-made blouses
these days...
for 3 to 4,000.
-Oh, that's it?
-Yes.
And we've to buy jewellery too. Imitation.
I've chosen a diamond set.
It's for 2,500.
-The necklace begins from here--
-Wait a minute.
Who did you ask before doing this?
And these things... are expensive.
Do you realise that?
Oh!... Ketaki, you're the limit!
Things don't come for free.
Why to spend so much for a competition?
And what do we do with it later?
Throw it?
She's too much! Really!
The people we get things on rent from
make sure things are in order.
You needn't worry about it.
You're overreacting!
It's for your own good.
Let's go to the dress makers.
Double efforts for nothing.
-Now?
-Obviously.
-But...
-We will have to go.
-Added to our work.
-Oh, really...
-Let's go together.
-Sheesh...
-The damage's already done. Come!
-Swami.
What's this? Don't we have to practice?
-Practice? Practice with those girls.
-Huh?
-We're going.
-Ketaki messed things up. She didn't...
get the costumes. Even the jewellery--
She understood. Don't overdo it...
-"Chair or chili?
-How will you go?"
-"Chair or chili?
-How will you go?"
"Mom-in-law beckons. Serves you right"
"Sis-in-law beckons. Serves you right"
"Husband beckons. Serves you right"
-"Chair or chili?
-How will you go?"
-"Chair or chili?
-How will you go?"
-"Chair or chili?
-How will you go?"
Chinu! I...
-Shashi is not here...
-Are you Chinmayee's mom?
-Who are you?
-I'm calling from AIMS hospital.
-Excuse me.
-Yes?
Chinmayee Patki?
Are you her mom?
Huh?
-Brother...
-Third door on the right.
Okay.
-Careful. Careful!
-Chinu!
-Chinu!
-She's unconscious.
-Come.
-She had come for general check up.
-Please wait outside.
-Chinu.
She has many complications.
-Chinu.
-We can't do anything unless you sign.
Ask her to sign.
Make sure everything's ready.
Wait a minute...
Don't you know anything?
Didn't she tell you?
She was suffering from
fibroid since many days.
Pregnancy is also impossible.
Take her in and check
if everything's ready.
She wasn't ready for this.
Was she under some pressure?
She refuses to listen.
We have no time anymore.
Give her the papers.
-Yes.
-Please sign them quickly.
We need to remove her uterus urgently.
-It's not possible unless you sign.
-I...
Stop thinking...
You're the mother. Take a decision.
-Please sign.
-Yes, but...
But, I...
Her husband is out of town
and her mom-in-law isn't available.
You're her mother, right?
Who but you will sign?
If you decide now, she can be saved.
Take.
Mom...
Ah... Mom...
-Chinu!
-Ah!...
-Don't worry.
-Mom...
Where is Mom?
Mom...
-Mom will be here soon.
-Aah...
Mom... Don't tell...
Don't tell...
Don't tell Mom.
Don't tell her anything.
Don't tell her anything. Okay?
I won't.
I'll tell her everything.
Promise?
Promise.
I won't tell her.
Heh!
Baba, leave it. They'll do it.
Baba, leave it. Baba--
Move!
God, I'd rather die...
than eat what they cook.
Oh, Baba...
Chinu, answer the phone.
Urmila, which vegetable are you making?
-Bitter gourd.
-Bitter gourd?
What rubbish, Urmila!
Pick up the phone.
-Chinu!
-Yes, Mom?
-Why don't you answer your phone?
-Oh, I...
You didn't answer yesterday as well.
I...
I'm getting you tiffin. Meet me.
-Don't...
-Why?
Why not?
I'm not home.
I'm in Bangalore for work.
Bangalore?... And you didn't even tell me!
Don't talk to me.
Mom, I-- Hello!
Hello, Mom, hear me out...
Chinu, eat your food.
Thank you.

Hello, sister Shashi and Jaya.
How are you all?
-The phone is ringing.
-No.
-Answer it.
-Is it?
It's Charu's bag.
Okay, I'll check.
What?
Charu! Come out.
-Charu!
-Charu!
It's too much!
Negative.
Swami!
So? Are you planning a kids factory?
How old are you?
Does that actor of yours know this?
-Is he ready?
-Should I tell him?
Oh, no! Don't tell him.
-He'll get tense.
-Oh, yes.
He's the only one with
worries in the world.
He quit his job and stays home.
-Who will share your tension?
-Correct.
Is he your husband or a baby?
-Don't speak rubbish.
-Oh, make her understand.
It's not rubbish, Charu. It's true.
Just look at yourself.
You're living two lives.
Don't we understand?
What do I do then?
He can't handle things.
His last job was so harrowing--
Don't you face troubles? Doesn't she?
And her? Everyone has troubles.
Look... you're his wife not his shield.
And certainly not his mother.
Which strip?
Fourth.
-All negative?
-Yes.
Then why worry?
-But she missed her periods!
-Oh!
You're the limit, man!
-She doesn't think before speaking.
-How do I know?
-God knows what she must be thinking.
-Keep quiet.
Speak after she leaves.
Do you feel hot despite the AC?
There's no AC here.
I'm talking to her.
-Madam, you feel hot, right?
-What?
-Why is she conducting a survey?
-Exactly.
Excuse me...
I'm a doctor.
Menopause.
Women face this issue in this age.
Menopause!
But I'm just 41.
"My heart sings" C'mon!
"Happy birthday to you"
"Arjun"
"Happy birthday to you"
"Aryan"
"Happy birthday to"
Stop! Look who's here.
Arjun-Aryan's Mumma's here. Clap.
Charu, come.
Come.
Here, say something.
-Me?
-Yes, you.
Happy birthday.
May God bless you.
This is a very special day.
Birthdays are always special, right?
Because they come once a year.
Then it comes next year.
Every year.
Celebration for one day
and stress for the remaining 364 days.
It begins from the start.
Managing the household and married life...
husband, kids...
their studies...
the husband's job and his loans.
Stress that should be dealt with by the
husband also comes our way....
In all of this nobody tells you...
"Wait... breathe."
And... then one day...
suddenly you realise you crossed 40!
Our menopause has begun.
Yes, menopause.
Half our life is over and
we never even lived for ourselves.
No, sorry...
We do live for one day.
Birthday!
Celebration...
...and for the remaining 364 days...
stress.
Yes... stress.
Thank you, Ashu.
Hmm...
Charu...
Open the door.
Just--
"Sleep, my fairy"
-"In the cradle of stars"
-Please don't sing.
-"The swing goes higher"
-Please don't sing!
"In the clouds of dreams"
"Why stay awake for no reason?"
-Enough, sister.
-"Shut your tiny eyes"
-Please don't sing this song.
-"Cover yourself with smiles"
-Please don't sing this song.
"May you get all my joys"
"Sleep, my fairy"
"in the cradle of stars"
Let's see what's in this. Oh, no, no...
What is this?
Oh, God!
Baba!
You didn't eat...
and I didn't see.
"Let's pray to Gauri for Mangalagaur"
"Let's stay up tonight
celebrating Mangalagaur"
"Let's pray to Gauri for Mangalagaur"
-Enough.
-What happened?
Five minutes...
Let's take a break for five minutes.
Will do.
Come here for a minute.
-What?
-Nothing.
You're holding my hand.
Are you coming to the washroom?
No, sorry.
-Go.
-Leave my hand.
Hey! What is it?
-Do you have something to say?
-Me?
Then leave my hand.
-I will.
-Yeah, 'I will.'
What's your problem?
Do you want to say something?
I'm getting irritated, understand?
You have nothing to say, right? Then?
What happened? Huh?
Why are you creating a scene here?
I'm telling you clearly. Leave my hand.
Left.
Have you gone mad?
What are you doing?
Exactly what you're doing.
Huh?
Leave Anirudh, Pallavi.
Don't hold on to him.
You won't understand.
Pallavi!
Pallav-- Pallavi!
Pallavi, you're not like me...
living off your husband's money.
You manage your resort all by yourself.
You won a tourism award.
Your son is a gold medalist.
He's in a better college than my daughter.
Who made this happen?
Anirudh?
You earned it, Pallavi.
You did.
But I... Pallavi...
It were these achievements of yours
that made me jealous...
since childhood.
I tried a lot...
to defeat you...
and make you jealous.
I couldn't do it even once.
But I want to forget about myself
this time around.
I don't want to defeat you this time..
Hmm...
You're right. The sandwich is really nice.
Guess you have a good chef.
Hold on to him.
Good chefs and good husbands...
can't be trusted.
Ah...
-Pallavi...
-Hmm...
you signed the papers...
-for that...
-Hey!...
Don't thank me.
Actually, I didn't set you free.
I became free.
I simply kept wondering...
how I'd manage without you.
What about our son,
our marriage and business?
But I was wrong.
I had become a kasturi deer.
Kasturi deer?
She doesn't know!
It's a kind of a deer.
It holds the Kasturi in its belly.
Kasturi means musk. Hmm?
Searching to find the
source of that scent...
the deer wanders all its life.
But the poor thing doesn't
realise till the end...
the fragrance was within.
Glad I realised it in time.
Once I'm done with the Mangalagaur...
I've to set my business.
Okay? See you.
Hmm...
This is for you.
Uh... So much make-up?
You look pretty.
Take care of your looks.
Bye.
"Like salt in bitter gourd"
"I wear bangles for Arvind"
She did it for once!
Wow! I'll leave now. Let's go.
Wait a while. Pallavi...
What about Pallavi?
Has she decided how she'll utter her
husband's name?
How come you don't know?
"On the carousel of your happiness"...
"I kept thinking of you"
"On the carousel of your happiness"...
"I kept thinking of you"
"Daughter, wife, sister, mother"
"I managed all relations"
"Breaking all bondage today"
"it's my democracy now!'
"I say Pallavi'
"because today Pallavi is set free'
What's this? You left for Bangalore
and returned without informing.
Are you hiding something?
-Good news?
-Ah... Nothing like that.
Oh, my! What's all this mess?
Mom has gone for two weeks
to practice at the farmhouse.
Yeah... Akshay's mom.
Yes and I wasn't home either.
Hence, the mess.
I'll help you clean. Come.
Oh, just a minute.
I'll do it.
How's the preparation
for the contest going?
All set? Ready to win?
Only if everyone can handle it!
Everything's haywire.
Mom, no big deal. Things will be fine.
You'll win for sure!
After all whose the captain?
Hmm... Are you fine?
Why are you talking like this?
Yes... Yes, I'm fine.
You're worried about the
contest so you feel like this.
What's this?
Don't you have to practice today?
Yes, but I have got ten minutes...
to have tea. Will you make some?
Of course.
Mom, you make tea today.
You know your tea is my favourite.
It's been days since I had it.
Indeed.
Nobody can match up to mom's cooking.
Your mom-in-law can't be as good.
-Mom...
-I'll get it.
Oh, dear.
Akshay's mom is running
a catering business!
So many tiffins.
Jaya!
-Mom, your phone is ringing.
-Coming.
-Hello.
-Hello, Shashi ma'am...
Yes.
I'm calling from the health
mediclaim company.
I have one. I'm not interested.
Madam, I wanted to speak about
the payment for Chinmayee's surgery.
You need to sign some forms.
Chinu's?
You should've sought revenge from me.
What wrong did Chinu do to you?
-Shashi, hear me out.
-I won't.
You were so keen to be a mother...
you signed the papers!
-Shashi, listen to me--
-Keep quiet!
I treat you like Mom.
You don't deserve it...
You...
Enough! Step back, step back!
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
I wanted to tell you all about this...
...but I was under great pressure.
It's okay, dear.
It's okay?
Is it? Huh!
It's you who should be apologising.
What's this?
You drink together in the winery.
You keep your daughter-in-law here
and go to the farm house to practice.
You didn't even know
what problem she was facing!
You call her 50 times a day.
-Yet you didn't know!
-Look...
don't call yourself a mom
when you don't deserve to be one.
Enough, Mom!
What's wrong with you, Mom?
You tell me. Why did you lie?
You didn't feel like confiding in me?
Because I knew this would happen.
Meaning?
You didn't realise it, Mom...
you still haven't
asked me if I'm all right.
Do you know what's troubling you?
That fact that I didn't tell you.
Yes, I didn't...
because this is my life not yours.
Had you told me, we'd have done something.
How will you beget a child now?
I knew it!
Mom, look...
more than my misery,
do you know what's hurting you?
That Chinu can't be a mother.
My daughter...
who topped everything...
is best at everything.
How could she flunk in
the subject of becoming a mom?
What should I do now?
What coaching will help?
How to improve her life? Right?
And I know exactly why you're
participating in this competition.
You think...
your daughter is going away from you.
No, but that's the truth.
Yes.
Because when I'm with Akshay...
or with Mom, I never felt something...
is lacking in me.
Really, Mom.
Be happy.
Mom, accept one thing now.
In all of this...
aunt Jaya was not at fault.
If it weren't for her that day...
I wouldn't be here today.
She saved me.

-Yes.

Not just us, the whole team.
Mangalagaur finals are coming up.
Let's go.
Nobody's coming.
What happened, Ketaki?
Vaibhav got a bus...
to go to the contest.
Let's go.

-Oh, quietly.
Oh, don't fight. Here I come.
Are y'all done fighting?

Present day
The last chair in the last round...
On one hand is the champion...
of our office since 30 years,
Shashi madam.
On the other...
-is her new replacement, Geeta.
-"Womanhood is tough"
Will Geeta take away the chair...
and championship from Shashi madam?
-"Womanhood is tough"
-On her send-off...
will Shashi madam win or will Geeta?
We will get the results in a moment.
Madam will surely win.
-Hey!...
-Ah!...
There's the winner!
Yeah!
Madam won!
Finally Shashi madam won.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Thank you very much.
C'mon, Tamhankar, what a long commentary!
It felt like the World Cup finals.
Why bother? I'd have won anyway!
-Right? There was no other possibility.
-Hmm...
All I want to say is that...
this wouldn't be possible
without your help.
Otherwise winning Employee
of the Year four times...
then on many other occasions...
I represented the company
as a spokesperson at seminars.
-Hmm...
-I won every championship ever held.
So, I'm happy.
But now...
I neither have that cabin...
nor that chair.
But I did win the musical chair!
But with Geeta taking over my place,
let's see how she performs.
Work will get done...
but it's impossible
to find my replacement.
Right?
"I slipped just like that"
"What do you think?"
"You got excited"...
"I slipped just like that"
"How are you doing, mister?"
"What do you think?"
Hello, Mom, I'm in a hurry.
Shall I call you later?
Hey, listen...
What about lunch?
Meaning? It's getting ready.
Is Akshay's mom cooking?
Huh! I'm sure the maid is making it.
Why will the maid do it, Mom?
-Ah!... Last time--
-Listen, Mom...
should I take an off?
Bye, I'll call you later.
Huh! Mom!
-Mom, you here...
-Here's your tiffin.
What for?
-I have one.
-Hey, this is much better.
Call me to inform which was better.
Why call you?
You're coming for the party today.
Did you forget?
Oh, yes.
Who all are coming?
You, me, Akshay...
-And--
-Akshay's mummy.
-Mom!
-Look there.
My tiffin has pushed over
the one sent by Akshay's mummy.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
-Oh, it's hot!
-Easy. Oh, you!
Help yourself.
-Listen, I have good news to share.
-Hmm?
I'm getting promoted.
-Wow!
-Congratulations!
Congratulations!
-Thank you. Thank you so much.
-That's great!
Why didn't you tell me first?
I'm telling you now, right?
But of course,
that's not the good news...
because I'm not accepting the promotion.
Akshay and I have decided
to plan for a baby.
-What?
-Huh!
Oh!... Yes... Yes... Okay...
Mom, wine?
No, I don't drink.
Not for you.
-I asked Mom.
-Oh, yes.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
I too have good news.
At this age?
Mom!
Hmm...
There's a Mangalagaur competition
and I've registered for it!
Ah!... Oh!
Oh, oh!
It's a big event.
To be honest,
my group motivated me so much...
I decided to participate.
-Or me, at this age...
-Exactly! At this age...
Mom, please! Age doesn't matter.
-Yeah, so true. Absolutely.
-In fact, you're so young and dynamic...
I'm so sure you'll win.
I'm so happy for you.
But there's one condition...
-I will choose the sari for the finale.
-Oh, yes!
Wear that. Promise?
-Okay, okay.
-Done!
-Okay, one more thing...
-Sit down.
I'll select your jewellery too. Okay?
-Yes, dear.
-And wear the long wedding chain.
Okay you only do it. Okay!
It'll look really nice, right?
The women said I should
tie a bun and have bangs.
It'll look really nice...
Can I get a form for
the Mangalagaur contest?
I want to participate.
-Sorry?
-Mangalagaur...
I want the form for that contest.
-Form?
-Yes.
-Here.
-Without a husband
can I partake the contest?
Sorry?
Didn't you understand?
Without husband can I participate?
Ma'am, this is only for women.
You can perform without your husband.
Mangalagaur is meant for women anyway!
But can a widow participate?
-Widow?
-Widow!
Widow, no husband... Can she participate?
Okay, I'll fill the form. Okay!
That's for me, right?
What?
Did I crack a joke?
Why are you laughing?
Huh? It's a big event. That's why.
-Okay.
-All are scared.
My neighbour...
my sister-in-law...
They're all scared.
But you're brave.
-Yes.
-Yes, that's why.
As for dance, I'll teach you. Don't worry.
But I can't handle the Mangada Gaur stuff.
-What?
-Mangada Gaur.
-Oh, God!
-Huh?
Hey... It's the letter 'L,'
say it properly. Say it!
That's what I can't manage.
Listen, you have five sisters.
Speak to them.
-When will they be of use, huh?
-Uff!
My sisters are a different matter.
They're strange.
-Madam, shall I?
-Hmm...
The formula of Pythagoras theorem
for the right angle triangle...
is given by A square plus B square
is equal to C square.
Good. What's your name?
Shashi.
Sit down!
Shashi!
-Did you take the water bottle?
-Yes.
Sadhana...
-Yes, Baba?
-Since you're stepping out,
go to Morvekar and pay the maintenance.
-I'll do it.
-And, listen...
-Huh?
-a new tenant has come upstairs.
His relatives keep ringing our bell.
They spoil our afternoon siesta.
Lodge a complaint against him.
I'll do it.
-Also...
-Huh?
the doctor has told
not to eat eggplant.
-For a week, eggplant...
-I will make it.
What?
-No, I said that by mistake.
-Okay.
I won't make it.
Madam, try without the wedding chain.
Are you crazy?
I won't leave Anirudh so easily.
Wow, Vaibhav! New car?
Yes, I bought it today.
Nice. Let's go.
Vaibhav, this car is much better.
At least finish the ritual for this one.
Aryan, Arjun, stop! I'll thrash you both.
-Listen...
-Hey, come on, run...
Just listen to me!...
Charu, where's my wallet?
-Where's my watch and my footwear?
-Wallet's in the bedroom.
The footwear is there. Just look.
Who keeps footwear here?
-Here, get ready!
-Did you call the priest?
Is the catering cheque taken?
They'll suck my blood...
Look, I have to answer him.
Here's the wallet. I'll manage everything.
Don't worry.
And Arjun... Arjun!
Aryan, hurry up. It's getting late.
Oh, Wow!... Look here.
Handsome!
They've gone on their father. Just look!
-What's this?
-Huh?
-You're not ready!
-Oh, yes.
-Sorry.
-What sorry?
You women are always late.
Come on, hurry up.
Aunt, why are you blocking the way?
How are you?
-Retirement is evident from your face.
-Is it?
And tummy too!
Vaibhav is also here.
-Huh!
-Sister Shashi!
-You look pretty.
-How are you?
Nice.
How are you?
How do I look?
Ah...
Nice.
You came so late!
Are you here only to dine?
There was huge traffic
and I couldn't find the hall.
Oh, c'mon! Don't give excuses.
I've come from Kolhapur on time.
Vaibhav is taking too long.
He must be parking.
Our new car is just too good.
We bought it for 2.2 million.
Useful for travelling long distances.
What I did is, I switched on the AC,
pulled my seat back, stretched my legs
and slept peacefully.
I woke up directly in Mumbai.
Vaibhav...
Where's Pallavi?
Hi, Soham!
Good morning, Mom.
Mom, this is Jamie.
Mom, I had told you... Tinder girl.
Jamie, she's my mom.
Hi.
Mom, she said hi.
Huh?... Ah... Hi.
Where's dad?
I want to introduce her.
Umm...
He's in the bathroom.
And you know...
once he enters the bathroom...
he takes forever.
Cool!
Ah... I'll call in the evening.
Then I can talk to him, right?
-Okay, I've to study now.
-Okay.
-Oh!
-Bye, mom.
-Bye, son. Take care.
-See you later. Bye, bye.
-Bye, Johnny.
-Bye.
Bye.
Mom said...
-Anirudh sent divorce papers.
-Huh?
-And Pallavi went mad seeing them.
-Oh!
-Come on, sit together.
-She's not willing to sign.
Careful.
-Sister... twins are connected, right?
-Hmm?
What if I go mad because of her?
Sister, look out nightingale is here!
-Oh!
-Hey... Easy!
-Take it easy.
-Look at her like a war hero.
-Hmm...
-Hmm-mm...
-Give it to me.
-Look at her hand.
-Here.
-She has a bandage on...
but her excitement hasn't decreased.
Like they say...
do good...
and get damned!
What?
She helped Charu get a job in her bank.
-So?
-Now Charu is on top of her...
-...as her boss.
-Oh, God!
And her daughter-in-law is also strange.
Why? What about her?
They fought?
No fights...
-...she keeps flunking.
-Flunking?
In CA exams.
-Oh!
-And...
And Sadhana pampers her like a mother.
It's a fad these days.
During our days,
daughters-in-law and
mothers-in-law played their roles.
Now mothers-in-law
are simply playing mothers!
Hmm...
Arun is walking with the purse.
That means sister will celebrate
the ceremony in the bathroom again.
What's new in that?
She's never happy seeing others happy.
Jaya, are you done? Charu is waiting.
Hurry up.
All are asking for you. Come soon.
Ketaki, hope you read about
the Mangalagaur contest in the papers.
It's a big event.
-Wait, I'll give you water.
-Golden days.
Those were such lovely days.
I'm sure...
she'll be play the Mangalagaur
very well even now.
-Got it?
-No way.
-Speak softly.
-Okay.
Look... we don't follow Mangalagaur.
And, is this our age to play Mangalagaur?
Age is not the problem, time is.
Home, office and unending things to do.
Sit straight. Who has the time?
-There you go!
-Hey!
You need a break in a busy life!
Enjoyment. Right?
Besides we'll win prize money if we win.
How much prize money?
Big amount.
2.5 million.
2.5 million!
What's with the money?
Our showroom earns that much in one day.
No, well, I am not greedy for money...
but like they say this will...
help everyone bond. That's why.
How much cash did you remove?
Where's your card?
-It's ahead in the bag.
-Ahead...
Why did you change the sari?
What's going on?
The pleats came off.
And you know how these two cling to me.
What...
Charu...
Answer the phone.
Patil from the bank. Talk to him.
Why should I speak to him?
You're a banker, right?
Speak for me. Here, take.
Yes, but since you have
taken the business loan...
you should speak.
You're right, but you speak once.
Why didn't you answer?
-I was saying--
-Why didn't you answer?
You're my wife, right?
Charu, who'll support me if you don't?
We both know...
how much loss that business caused us.
How much we have suffered.
So, I took a break.
I genuinely need some
soul-searching, Charu.
And I...
don't want this tension in my head...
I'm not able to tolerate
it anymore, Charu.
You understand, right?
Sorry.
It's okay.
Do one thing...
I'll give Patil your number.
So you can speak to
him directly on my behalf.
Wonder how I will repay the loan.
I need to win a lottery now.
Uh!... Who's messaging and
disturbing at this hour?
Sister Shashi,
I'm ready for the Mangalagauri.
When do we meet?
Mazumdar?
I called to ask...
we came to your place yesterday.
Did my wife leave her mobile there?
No?
He said it's not there.
Bloody hell, ruined my game!
Forget it,
I anyway wanted a different colour.
Have you lost it?
Do you realize what you're saying?
It was your 4th phone.
You always want expensive things.
Lose them then buy new ones again.
Do I grow money on trees?
Why mention things of the past?
-I don't always--
-Yes, you do!
You have no brains to earn a single penny.
All you do is spend!
Now sit without a phone.
If you want one, buy it with money...
you've earned.
I won't give you a single penny.
Are you saying that seriously?
Okay.
Now I'll return...
with a phone...
bought with my money.
Sadhana!
Sadhana, come inside.
What's this?
Balance sheet.
I can see that...
and the mistakes in it too.
Such basic mistakes!
Arjun and Aryan also
don't make such mistakes.
Arjun and Aryan don't wake up at 4.30...
and cook for five people
and pack four tiffins...
and finish chores too.
But I have to do all that.
Do your work properly.
You're older than me, right?
Is it?
Then you should also call me sister
out here.
Before all bank employees...
don't yell at me calling out my name.
This is our office, not home.
In fact, you should be calling me madam.
If you're done discussing personal things,
let's talk about work.
Wait a minute.
I want this balance sheet corrected today.
Vasanta, not as a psychiatrist...
but as a friend I confide in you.
Jaya is turning in circles.
Arun mentioned some problems.
What do you have to say about that?
I mean, is there anything more happening?
What's his problem?
Jaya, why do you say that?
We came to him.
-At least, as my friend--
-Not us...
You.
I didn't want to come here.
Jaya, how many more days will you escape?
Your blackouts...
and disinterest in everything...
and continual depression...
how long will you defy it all?
Arun is worried about you.
Hence, he spoke to me
and got you here.
But hereafter you have to fight.
It's your problem.
And a bigger problem
is eating you from within.
Jaya!
Jaya?
I am not crazy.
Ice cream?
Hi, sister!
Hmm... Take.
You haven't visited since three years.
Good you came.
Art of Life.
Two months ago we'd gone to Bali.
Just like that. We were bored.
That's why we went.
The tour cost us 550,000.
I did this Art of Life session there.
It was just too good.
They said...
increase your human connect.
Made sense to me.
Look at us...
We are six sisters.
But we never meet up.
So I came over.
So? When will you leave?
Mom, why didn't you tell me you're
partaking the Mangalagaur contest?
I had a headache that day.
That's why I forgot.
But it's nice. I'm truly excited.
-In fact, you know...
-Good morning.
Mom was saying that...
if you don't have a team,
you can join her team.
Oh, no!
Why not?
Do you have a team?
"Let's play"
Of course, I have a team.
That's why, you don't bother.
Someone's here.
I'll call back.
"Mom!"
"Let's play Mangalagaur"
-Hi, sister Shashi!
-Hey!
Surprise!
Where are the others?
I'm super excited!
-About?
-The Mangalagaur competition.
Our family has so many WhatsApp groups.
I left as soon as I heard of it.
Wow! What a view!
The Sea Link is looking amazing.
Good your house went for redevelopment.
Hence, I kept asking you over.
I was stuck.
I heard about the divorce.
Are you fine, Pallu?
Hey...
What will happen to me? Totally chillax!
Once I sign, I'll be free.
Now I have only one mantra in life. YOLO.
-YOLO?
-Yes.
You only live once.
Hey...
What a lovely view!
One will lose track of time sitting here,
right?
Do you want to speak to Shashi?
Yes, I mean...
she mentioned about
that Mangalagaur competition.
I was thinking about that...
in view of Art of Life.
We sisters can connect after years.
That's why... How do you like the idea?
Which idea?
- I was saying--
-To go to Shashi.
Ketaki is going to Shashi?
Then for whom did I get
the ingredients of 'Pav Bhaji.'
-Urmila, I'll check.
-Okay, sister.
She's lost it.
She's getting a divorce, right?
And she's keen on Mangalagaur?
The family is yet to stabilise...
-...and look at her dress up like that!
-Shh!...
Speak softly.
-She might hear you.
-Let her.
Dress up, right? Indeed!
Done.
We'll go for Mangalagaur.
-Yes!
-Awesome!
Let's call sister Sadhana and Jaya too...
-and have a blast.
-Yes.
-Let's call them.
No, not Sadhana.
-Why?
-She's a fool.
-Hey...
-What are you saying?
Who will sing if not Sadhana? We?
-Tell her.
-We want Sadhana.
-Yes, we need her.
-Agreed.
Fine, I'll check.
I'll bring her.
Better. Better!
"Let's play Mangalagaur"
But you must bring sister Jaya.
What rubbish? Why her?
-We are there, that's enough.
-What do you mean?
Listen...
you and sister Jaya
used to play superb 'fugdi.'
-In the past...
-There was one more thing...
-Something...
-'Hodi.'
Right 'hodi.'
-I remember.
-You do, right?
'Hodi' was your winning point.
-Yes.
-We need sister Jaya for sure.
I'll bring her.
-Bravo.
-Superb!
Superb!
So, are you ready?
Shall we discuss the problem?
Do you have some problem?
Because I don't.
She knows what the problem is.
But she doesn't want to accept it.
Shashi... Her problem is Shashi.
So? 'Barfi' or 'pedha'?
Say it. 'Barfi' or 'pedha'?
-They chose 'barfi.'
-They chose 'barfi.'
-'Barfi.'
-They both chose 'barfi'!
Shashi...
Chinmayee and Mrinmayee.
How do you like the names?
-So, Chinu and Minu? Nice.
-Yes.
-My Chinu.
-My Chinu.
But Chinu is mine.
Fine, your Chinu.
-Happy?
-Yes.
You want everything as per your terms.
So the problem is Shashi?
No.
Then why did you send
Ketaki out of the house?
Why did you get so upset on
hearing about the Mangalagaur contest?
Wait a minute. Mangalagaur?
It's a competition.
All the sisters are participating.
Wow!
Why aren't you participating?
Because I'm not crazy.
You're avoiding Shashi!
I'm not avoiding anyone.
Why would she matter to me?
Then my work is done.
Participate in the Mangalagaur...
and we'll end this session.
Jaya, I believe that
Shashi is not your problem.
Do you?
You've made mistakes.
So I have no choice but to complain.
Don't complain.
Please give me a chance.
-Please!
-Fine.
Now that you're requesting,
I'll think over it.
But for that,
you need to do one thing for me.
What?
Join us for the Mangalagaur competition.
Mangalagaur?
Have you gone mad?
"Let's play..."
Respected...
head of the department...
Mrs...
Sadhana...
Baba won't agree.
Why to get him along!
Come secretly.
Your experience of eloping will help!
Not possible!
I...
hereby...
"Lets..."
Come.
OMG! You did great, sister!.
Kakade Abode
-The house is still the same.
-Indeed.
But they have tenants.
Avdoot is earning well.
Wow!
Sister, there can't be
a better place to rehearse.
When will sister come?
She won't come.
Can you see? Huh?
Allergic to dust, right?
Shut that. I can see clearly.
The windows have been opened.
-Shut that torch, it's hurting my eyes.
-It was dark, thats why.
Look at her coughing!
Oh, my God!
The Mangalagaur contest's...
first round will take
place in a month's time...
on a small scale.
The teams that win will go to the finals.
So, three days a week...
we meet here to practice. Okay?
Wait a minute! Three days?
-Dude! Friday, Saturday, Sunday!
-Yes.
-No way.
-Why?
-Work...
-Not here.
-It will spoil my hair.
-Go ahead.
We spoke of week days.
How can I take leave for three days?
-Yes...
-Hey...
And household chores...
-Who will manage that?
-Your husband.
He's home these days.
He does nothing.
You're no good either.
Can you even deposit a cheque in the bank?
Careful! Do you want water?
Does the practice begin today or tomorrow?
-Sister!
-Sister!
-Sister, welcome.
-Awesome.
I'm so excited!
Avdoot told me you're meeting here.
I too was missing you.
So I came.
So... Shall we begin?
-Come on, sister. Come!
-Come, sister Jaya.
-Come.
-Come, sister.
Swami...
"Praised"
"Praised be Goddess"
"Mangalagauri"
She's getting it.
"I offer prayers with a golden tray"...
-"With gems"...
-Enough.
"Let's play Mangalagaur"...
"Mangalagaur"
"The game of Gaurai"
-Wow, Pallavi.
-Charu, very good.
Sister, dance. Why are you sitting?
Ketaki, why did you stop? Dance.
Play that again. Why did you stop?
Play it.
Charu!
"Let's play Mangalagaur".
Wow.
Sister...
Is she getting divorced or married?
At least she's dancing.
"Let's play Mangalagaur"
Charu, let's have water.
Oh, dear!
I'm tired. My back hurts.
Grown old!
All have become obese.
Either their back hurts or knees!
Oldies!
They moan and groan for everything.
I give it to you in writing...
this foolishness won't
last more than seven days.
"Praised"
"Praised be Goddess Mangalagauri"
"I pray"...
"I pray"...
"with a golden tray"
-Hmpf!
-Sadhana, what's wrong?
Nothing... By mistake.
Swami, I beg you...
let me sing well.
Listen to me...
how about looking for a job for you?
I don't think the Mangalagaur thing
will work out.
Everyone's going crazy.
How long will we avoid things?
So, I think.
Charu, you worry too much. Seriously.
Look at me. I'm relaxed with no tension.
It's just one day.
Magic never happens in a day.
You're a fighter. Fight it. Hmm?
-Won't put up with your attitude always.
-Shut up!
Why are you yelling at me?
Who are you?
Are you some queen?
Enough of your nonsense!
-Why did you touch my bag?
-Sister, move...
Who are you?
It's not my fault that
I'm prettier than you.
You're jealous!
Why did you touch my bag?
You're so riled up simply
because I touched your bag.
-Hey!
-Don't touch other people's things too.
You're still paying for
what you did back then. Yet you...
Ketaki!
Keep quiet!
Don't you dare say anything more!
Sorry.
Who has come? So many footwear?
Swami!
Let me see.
What is it? Look. Just look.
Wow. Amazing!
Too good!
What's this?
I called them for formation.
They're college girls.
We'll teach them Mangalagaur.
Huh?
Enough!
Nice song though.
Let's go. Don't put your weight on me.
I'm suffocating. Come.
Seeing them made me break out in sweat.
And you... What's your problem?
Why are you late?
I've to make different
vegetables for both meals.
And Baba sends Vinod
everyday to the station...
to drop and fetch me.
I've to fool him and come here.
I'm in a very bad state.
Sister, he's here to meet you.
Yes. Send him in.
Now!
-I called a trainer for our fitness.
-Go inside.
-Come.
-Hello. Hello.
Hello.
-Oh, dear.
-Sorry.
-Look around you.
-Hey! Shut up!
Why him?
Do we also have to exercise now?
We need sandpaper
to polish rusted things, right?
-Shall we begin?
-This sandpaper?
-Yes.
-Oh, my God!
-Yes.
-Up!
Up!... Very good!
One second, come here.
"Let's play..."
Why buy sports bra? The old ones will do.
-Let's go before someone sees us.
-It's needed.
It looks bad when we jump.
Did you see the price? 2,000!
Never mind.
-A good comfortable bra is an investment.
-Told you!
Baba will bash me if
I make such an investment.
-Father-in-law!
-Why you show this to father-in-law too?
Hey! Why tell this to your father-in-law?
Oh, you're already done?
Yes, so?
This is your size?
How does size matter?
I liked this colour. Go ahead.
Don't hand it to him. You do it.
Do you even know your size?
Or is it still the same
after so many years?

husband answer the phone?
He's busy.
The installment--
We trusted him, sanctioned
his loan and now he won't answer calls.

Good that only I saw!
What if someone from
the family had seen you?
Have you ever thought about it?
Swami!
Do you like to dance?
You dance well.
But you must focus on your studies too,
child.
Okay?
'She dances really well.'
'But what if Baba learns of it?'
'So she'll face the same fate as me?'
Baba, Sadhana stood first
in the singing competition.
Nice.
Great!
You eloped and married.
I accepted it.
But these activities...
won't be tolerated in this house.
Understood?
Hereafter, all this...
won't happen in this house.
Go!
Ani, I came to speak to you.
-Pallavi, you--
-Ani, listen...
-Pallavi-- Enough!
-Ani, please listen...
Look, don't avoid me like this.
Ani, listen!
Hello.
Good you're here.
I was planning to visit you.
You just saved my trip.
I'm here to take back my husband.
Ah... You've come here for the first time.
What will you have?
Tea, coffee or sandwiches?
Our sandwiches are famous.
Wait a minute.
I know it's difficult for you.
But I think you should
sign the divorce papers.
Oh, really?
But I won't sign.
I came here all the way
from Goa only to take Ani back.
I need to talk to him.
I don't understand...
why he's avoiding me.
-We're getting married next year.
-Huh?
We're getting engaged
by the end of this year.
You have to let it go.
Ani!
-Ani!
-While you were together...
when did you see him smile?
I just saw...
He forgot to smile while he was with you.
Do you know Ani's best friend's name?
Which song of Dev Anand does he love?
Which cigarette does he smoke secretly?
What's his granny's name?
His favourite football match?
Which was the first comic he read?
He saw a play 25 times in a theatre.
Do you know its name? Huh?
Do you?
As for smiling...
a joke is enough.
It makes you laugh a lot.
But married life is not a joke.
And like you said...
perhaps I didn't see Aniket smiling.
But I did see him cry.
When he was dejected and disappointed,
he'd cry in my arms.
Understood?
That's what you call married life.
Hmm?
Even then he won't come back.
Sign the--
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"What did you do with my bangles?"
"I gave them to brother's
wife when he got married"
"What did you do with my necklace?"
"I gave it to mom
when I visited my parents"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey daughter-in-law...
What is it mother-in-law?"
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"Hey co-wife why you took my bangles?"
"Hey co-wife why you took my bangles?"
"Hey co-wife why did you take
away my husband."
"Why? Why? Why?"
Enjoying, right?
What happened?
Everything's over, sister.
-Ani is marrying her!
-What?
Who gets married at 50?
The girl is beautiful.
She's slim.
She's young and...
Look at me.
Look!
I had come to take him back home.
But everything's over.
Don't cry, Pallu.
Calm down, Pallu.
-Hello.
-No, you go to hell.
-Oh, Aryan, Arjun...
-That video game is mine.
-What...
-Charu...
they're fighting again.
They're just fighting badly.
Then speak to them. Make them understand.
-Understood?
-Patil!
-Hello... Hello?
-Yes.
-Yes, Patil sir.
-What about the installment?
-Yes, I've transferred one installment.
-That's not enough.
-I know. If you could give me a month...
-Pay as soon as possible.
Yes, Ashu...
Charu, this is too much.
If you spend some time at home,
they'll be disciplined.
But you...
You're either in office or Mangalagaur.
Look, you need some balance in life.
Don't forget you have a family. Please.
How much will I manage alone?
Sor--
Madam, your health check up is pending.
When do I schedule it?
Go to hell! I'm dying and
you're talking about health checkup?
"Praised be Goddess Mangalagauri"
"Praised be Goddess Mangalagauri"

I can sing!
Take.
iPhone 11.
That's the one you wanted?
Here, take it!
No!
And I'm planning to stay
in Mumbai for some days.
What for?
What for?
For my sisters.
For me.
And Pallavi needs me.
Have you lost it?
Everyone's waiting back home.
What will my parents say?
And do you know how our staff
has prepared for the anniversary?
They've put up a 18 by 22
hoarding at Ganesh Chowk.
What will they think?
What will they all think?
That's why you came here.
Is it our anniversary or a public event?
That's also a waste of money, right?
Stop here.
Here, why here?
You're from Kolhapur.
sBut I'm from Mumbai.
I'll can go alone.
It was great!
-Was it good?
-Wait... Wait!
-We're ready for the first round!
-Yeah!
Put that properly. Not like this.
Okay. This is proper, right?
-They're playing well.
-Indeed.
Really nice. Check my clip.
It's hurting.
Check. Is it proper now?
Yeah, okay.
Has this loosened?
-She did that step so well.
-Indeed.
-I won't be able to manage with these.
-Me neither.
-Is this proper?
-Yeah.
I've been calling but
Sadhana isn't answering.
She always does that.
Mom, huh!
Whose is this?
What am I asking? Whose is this?
M... M... Mine.
Oh no, she's lying.
It's... It's mine.
I've been calling Sadhana since long.
She's not answering.
After seeing that dance,
do you really think...
we have a chance?
-Answer it.
-Pick it up.
-Tell me.
-Shashi, I can't come.
-My family has found the truth.
-What?
Listen-- Sadhana isn't coming!
So? Did you like the performance?
In this Mangalagaur competition
the next participants are...
Kakade sisters from Mumbai.
But... But... People...
before they do, we'll take a small break.
So people,
get some snacks and refreshments...
-and come back to the contest.
-Oh!
Take it off.
We have 25 minutes. Enough time.
It'll take 7 minutes
to reach Sadhana's house...
and another 7 to return.
Let's go bring her.
-What is she saying?
-Nobody will interrupt me!
We will partake this contest, that's it!
Let's bring Sadhana. Come!
Let's go. Please look after our purses.
We'll be back.
-Come, come on...
-Hurry up!
What's wrong?
Ah... Nothing much.
I got a call
from the dance class yesterday.
There was a performance.
Shh!... Somebody might hear.
Ah... Sorry.
But now I'm fine.
I spoke to Darpan.
He said once we shift,
I can rejoin dance classes.
Finally I'll be free.
Vinod, will I stop singing forever?
Sadhana, once we shift...
you can do what you want.
It's just a matter of some days. Really.
-What are they doing here?
-Hurry up!
-What's her surname?
-Bhosle.
-Hurry up.
-Come on, move.
My legs are aching.
-"Let's play"...
-Hurry up!
-Which floor? Higher up still?
-Shh!...
-Y'all?
-Come, come...
Energy meant for Mangalagauri's
got spent here!
-Why have you come?
-To take you.
There's no time. Get dressed quickly.
Have you lost it? How can I come?
Manage it somehow and come.
Where did she come from?
I took the lift!
-We're fools to take the stairs!
-Hey, you come now.
-No, but Baba...
-I'll handle him.
-I beg you...
-Move aside...
Don't tell Baba...
-Listen to me...
-Move in.
It's so dark. Switch on the light.
-Please get us water.
-Hey...
Jaya, sit down.
Hello.
How are you?
We are here to take
Sadhana away from some time.
-What?
-You see, there's a Mangalagauri contest.
It's a huge event.
All of us are participating.
You know how well Sadhana sings.
When she sings, we begin to dance.
That's why we've come to take her.
What's all this?
Sadhana, what Mangalagaur?
Lower your voice!
What?
Lower the TV's volume. I can't hear.
-Use the remote and lower it.
-Yes... Yes.
So, can we take her?
Look, perhaps this
is allowed in your family.
Such foolishness is
not allowed in our family.
Foolish!
Huh?
You're such a fool!
You've been living for
years stifling your desires.
What's this? Huh?
Sadhana, you regained your
voice with great difficulty.
Don't let it be stifled again.
Enough!
Sadhana...
Hey, go inside.
Go.
"Soar to the skies, O bird"
"Soar to the skies, O bird"
"Leave the golden cage behind"
"Leave the golden cage behind"
Superb!
Forgive me, Baba.
Hey!
Let's go.
-Oh, no!
-Come.
Leave now.
-Yes, see you.
-Who will sing now?
Come.
Shashi!
We need a dancer too, Baba.
-Let's go.
-Hurry up!
"Let's play"...
Go away. Get lost!
Don't come back to this house.
"Let's play"...
"Let's play"...
-How much more time?
-The results will be declared now.
-Come quickly.
-Where to?
We're yet to perform.
The contest is over.
The results are being announced.
-How so?
-Hey, what are you doing?
Congratulations to the two finalists.
So people...
of the six teams who
have gone to the finals...
the last team is...
Ujjwala Patki's Runjhunta Pakhra!
Wow! Great!
They are all very elated!
They are so happy!
It was fun!
All the best to you!
Friends, see you in the finals.
See you all. Bye-bye!
'It's easy to intoxicate
and push one down'
'It's easy to intoxicate
and push one down'
'The challenge is
to uphold the faltering one!'
You know Ajit...
used to say couplets while drinking.
They convey a lot.
Let' see... what fun we derive from it.
Right? Cheers.
-Cheers!
-Cheers!
Swami.
Jaya, it's your turn now.
Sister, please have.
Hey, don't force her.
She won't have it anyway. She won't drink.
-She's different, not one of us.
-Sister, enough now.
Fine! Sadhana insists, so enough.
-Let's play a game.
-What?
Right here. On this table.
Tell me...
why couldn't we partake
today's contest?
Let it be!
Nobody knows the answer. I'll tell you.
She cast an evil eye.
-Shut up, sister!
-What shut up?
My Chinu is going away from me.
That old hag who won...
is her mother-in-law.
Her new mother.
No wonder she looked familiar to me!
I wanted to defeat that hag and show...
Chinu that her real mom is still cool.
Hmm...
-But you all had come for a picnic!
-What?
-Look what she's saying!
-Of course!
Picnic? This was a picnic?
What else was it?
Work for 16 hours in the office...
manage the home...
then dance with you.
That's a picnic?
I have a loan worth millions to repay.
And you... Crap!
It's okay for you guys...
at least you had
your husbands to support.
-What about me?
-I don't have one.
-Yours died!
-Huh!
-What are you saying?
-Mine is still alive.
Swami!
I hold no value.
Come on, drink.
I'm worthless like this peel.
Ugh!
Hey!
I didn't have the nuts,
so I won't clean up.
-Peel!
-Hey!
You made yourself worthless.
Or you had everything.
You're an independent woman.
And look at me...
-I lost one phone and he yelled at me.
-Four!
-Four.
-Four?
She lost four phones.
In my entire family...
I hold the least value.
-Do you know why?
-Why?
Because I don't earn.
Hmm...
-Sir.
-How much have they had yet?
It's their first glass.
-Even so?
-I don't know about women's stamina.
Keep an eye lest they fight.
-Be careful.
-Yes, sir.
-You can't be sure of women.
-Yes, true.
The phone is ringing...
-It's hers.
-Sorry, sorry.
Time to wrap up.
I've to leave now.
Charu, leave the car here.
We'll go to the station, okay?
We'll go by train from the station.
Hey, we catch trains from stations only.
What crap!
Yeah, I know!
Shh!...
Stop it. Laughing for no reason.
All right, I'll pay the bill.
Come, come, Ms. Kolhapur.
-Hail, Swami... Shh!...
-Get up, stop chanting god's name.
Stumbling again.
Walk straight when you're drunk. Got it?
Come, sister...
What?
I'm casting an evil eye.
How much more?
I'm not one of yours.
You're right.
You taught me that.
Where were you when I lost Minu?
Your Chinu calls someone mom...
so you joined a competition.
I had nobody to call me mom!
Chinu and I were lonely when Ajit died.
Why didn't you come then?
Why didn't you come then?
At 11.37 p.m...
Hey, I'll pay. Come.
Slow local will arrive on platform...
"Pinga"
"Pinga"
"Pinga"
"Pinga"
"Pinga"
"Pinga, dear girl, pinga"
"Your pinga dance beckoned
me and kept me up all night"
"Pinga, dear girl, pinga"
"My sister wears a shalu,
you shine like gold, pinga"
"Your pinga dance beckoned
me and kept me back, pinga'
"Pinga"
Hey... Stop it.
-Stop that.
-Why what happened?
Yes.
-Sorry.
-What rubbish is this?
Huh? Is that how you do pinga dance?
Huh?... Pinga?
Hu-huh? Don't you know Pinga?
No?
You...
Hey... Manners.
Tradition.
-Culture. Do you understand?
-What is all this?
Is that how you do pinga dance?
Drat!
-I'll show you how it's done.
-Hey!
I'll show you on the railway station.
C'mon, ladies.
-Sister Shashi!
-C'mon!
-Listen...
-Hip-hop dance rubbish on pinga...
-Shashi...
-Sister, just listen.
Look at me.
-Watch my step!
-Play it!
"Pinga"
"Your brother has a crooked
nose and black skin, pinga"
"Your pinga dance beckoned
me and kept me up all night"
"My sister is fair-skinned
and she's pretty, pinga"
"Pinga, dear girl, pinga"
"My brother with a turban
is your brother-in-law, pinga"
"Your pinga dance beckoned
me and killed my hunger"
"Pinga, dear girl, pinga"
"Pinga"
"Pinga"
"Pinga"
"Pinga"
Sister, I'm leaving.
-Go safe.
-Yes.
-Inform me when you reach.
-Yes.
I'll open it.
See you.
Don't think of anything now.
-Bye.
-Bye.
Shall we order for something today?
Why?
Celebration... of Mangalagaur competition.
We didn't win.
We were disqualified.
But that's what you wanted, right?
I mean, not exactly that...
but you wanted all this to end soon.
Hence, celebration.
No need for it.
Don't find excuses.
You miss your sisters, right?
Are you a therapist too?
You wait out.
I'll manage.
Okay.
So Pallavi?
'I won't drink ever again. Never ever!'
-Okay, but have this lemonade.
-Okay, give.
Hey, wait! The wrong one.
-Take this.
-I'll be fine, right?
-My head is aching.
-You'll feel better.
It has ginger.
Who is it now?
-What?
-Mom!
What have you done?
We couldn't do anything.
We got eliminated.
Mom, what have you done?
We were together last
night so I drank a lot.
Never again.
Mom, you're famous.
-Switch on the TV.
-Huh?
It's viral.
I don't have viral.
Do I look sick?
We've gone viral!
Switch on the TV.
TV... Remote... Oh, God!
It's said this viral video...
was shot at...
a western suburban
railway station in Mumbai.
This video shows...
an energetic dance performance...
depicting Marathi culture.
The women in the video...
are middle-aged homemakers...
from the working class.
Let's learn more about these women
from our reporter Sagar.
Sagar, what do you have to say...
"Womanhood is tough, God"
You've gone viral.
"Womanhood is tough, God"
"Womanhood is tough"
Not Patil...
Let it not be Patil.
Charu, the contest organisers called me.
Our station video went viral...
so we're given a wild card entry.
Oh man, Shashi!
Yeah!
What's this?
Where's the jewellery?
There's nothing in here.
-Swami!
-Even from this...
things are missing
including the blouses.
Yes, I rejected them.
Meaning? Without the blouse?
-Huh?
-Hey! What without blouse?
Rented clothes are used by many.
We'll buy new ones.
We get awesome ready-made blouses
these days...
for 3 to 4,000.
-Oh, that's it?
-Yes.
And we've to buy jewellery too. Imitation.
I've chosen a diamond set.
It's for 2,500.
-The necklace begins from here--
-Wait a minute.
Who did you ask before doing this?
And these things... are expensive.
Do you realise that?
Oh!... Ketaki, you're the limit!
Things don't come for free.
Why to spend so much for a competition?
And what do we do with it later?
Throw it?
She's too much! Really!
The people we get things on rent from
make sure things are in order.
You needn't worry about it.
You're overreacting!
It's for your own good.
Let's go to the dress makers.
Double efforts for nothing.
-Now?
-Obviously.
-But...
-We will have to go.
-Added to our work.
-Oh, really...
-Let's go together.
-Sheesh...
-The damage's already done. Come!
-Swami.
What's this? Don't we have to practice?
-Practice? Practice with those girls.
-Huh?
-We're going.
-Ketaki messed things up. She didn't...
get the costumes. Even the jewellery--
She understood. Don't overdo it...
-"Chair or chili?
-How will you go?"
-"Chair or chili?
-How will you go?"
"Mom-in-law beckons. Serves you right"
"Sis-in-law beckons. Serves you right"
"Husband beckons. Serves you right"
-"Chair or chili?
-How will you go?"
-"Chair or chili?
-How will you go?"
-"Chair or chili?
-How will you go?"
Chinu! I...
-Shashi is not here...
-Are you Chinmayee's mom?
-Who are you?
-I'm calling from AIMS hospital.
-Excuse me.
-Yes?
Chinmayee Patki?
Are you her mom?
Huh?
-Brother...
-Third door on the right.
Okay.
-Careful. Careful!
-Chinu!
-Chinu!
-She's unconscious.
-Come.
-She had come for general check up.
-Please wait outside.
-Chinu.
She has many complications.
-Chinu.
-We can't do anything unless you sign.
Ask her to sign.
Make sure everything's ready.
Wait a minute...
Don't you know anything?
Didn't she tell you?
She was suffering from
fibroid since many days.
Pregnancy is also impossible.
Take her in and check
if everything's ready.
She wasn't ready for this.
Was she under some pressure?
She refuses to listen.
We have no time anymore.
Give her the papers.
-Yes.
-Please sign them quickly.
We need to remove her uterus urgently.
-It's not possible unless you sign.
-I...
Stop thinking...
You're the mother. Take a decision.
-Please sign.
-Yes, but...
But, I...
Her husband is out of town
and her mom-in-law isn't available.
You're her mother, right?
Who but you will sign?
If you decide now, she can be saved.
Take.
Mom...
Ah... Mom...
-Chinu!
-Ah!...
-Don't worry.
-Mom...
Where is Mom?
Mom...
-Mom will be here soon.
-Aah...
Mom... Don't tell...
Don't tell...
Don't tell Mom.
Don't tell her anything.
Don't tell her anything. Okay?
I won't.
I'll tell her everything.
Promise?
Promise.
I won't tell her.
Heh!
Baba, leave it. They'll do it.
Baba, leave it. Baba--
Move!
God, I'd rather die...
than eat what they cook.
Oh, Baba...
Chinu, answer the phone.
Urmila, which vegetable are you making?
-Bitter gourd.
-Bitter gourd?
What rubbish, Urmila!
Pick up the phone.
-Chinu!
-Yes, Mom?
-Why don't you answer your phone?
-Oh, I...
You didn't answer yesterday as well.
I...
I'm getting you tiffin. Meet me.
-Don't...
-Why?
Why not?
I'm not home.
I'm in Bangalore for work.
Bangalore?... And you didn't even tell me!
Don't talk to me.
Mom, I-- Hello!
Hello, Mom, hear me out...
Chinu, eat your food.
Thank you.

-Say hi!
-Hi!
Look who all have come.
-Hi!
-Hi!
Look who all have come.
Hello.
Hello, sister Shashi and Jaya.
How are you all?
-The phone is ringing.
-No.
-Answer it.
-Is it?
It's Charu's bag.
Okay, I'll check.
What?
Charu! Come out.
-Charu!
-Charu!
It's too much!
Negative.
Swami!
So? Are you planning a kids factory?
How old are you?
Does that actor of yours know this?
-Is he ready?
-Should I tell him?
Oh, no! Don't tell him.
-He'll get tense.
-Oh, yes.
He's the only one with
worries in the world.
He quit his job and stays home.
-Who will share your tension?
-Correct.
Is he your husband or a baby?
-Don't speak rubbish.
-Oh, make her understand.
It's not rubbish, Charu. It's true.
Just look at yourself.
You're living two lives.
Don't we understand?
What do I do then?
He can't handle things.
His last job was so harrowing--
Don't you face troubles? Doesn't she?
And her? Everyone has troubles.
Look... you're his wife not his shield.
And certainly not his mother.
Which strip?
Fourth.
-All negative?
-Yes.
Then why worry?
-But she missed her periods!
-Oh!
You're the limit, man!
-She doesn't think before speaking.
-How do I know?
-God knows what she must be thinking.
-Keep quiet.
Speak after she leaves.
Do you feel hot despite the AC?
There's no AC here.
I'm talking to her.
-Madam, you feel hot, right?
-What?
-Why is she conducting a survey?
-Exactly.
Excuse me...
I'm a doctor.
Menopause.
Women face this issue in this age.
Menopause!
But I'm just 41.
"My heart sings" C'mon!
"Happy birthday to you"
"Arjun"
"Happy birthday to you"
"Aryan"
"Happy birthday to"
Stop! Look who's here.
Arjun-Aryan's Mumma's here. Clap.
Charu, come.
Come.
Here, say something.
-Me?
-Yes, you.
Happy birthday.
May God bless you.
This is a very special day.
Birthdays are always special, right?
Because they come once a year.
Then it comes next year.
Every year.
Celebration for one day
and stress for the remaining 364 days.
It begins from the start.
Managing the household and married life...
husband, kids...
their studies...
the husband's job and his loans.
Stress that should be dealt with by the
husband also comes our way....
In all of this nobody tells you...
"Wait... breathe."
And... then one day...
suddenly you realise you crossed 40!
Our menopause has begun.
Yes, menopause.
Half our life is over and
we never even lived for ourselves.
No, sorry...
We do live for one day.
Birthday!
Celebration...
...and for the remaining 364 days...
stress.
Yes... stress.
Thank you, Ashu.
Hmm...
Charu...
Open the door.
Just--
"Sleep, my fairy"
-"In the cradle of stars"
-Please don't sing.
-"The swing goes higher"
-Please don't sing!
"In the clouds of dreams"
"Why stay awake for no reason?"
-Enough, sister.
-"Shut your tiny eyes"
-Please don't sing this song.
-"Cover yourself with smiles"
-Please don't sing this song.
"May you get all my joys"
"Sleep, my fairy"
"in the cradle of stars"
Let's see what's in this. Oh, no, no...
What is this?
Oh, God!
Baba!
You didn't eat...
and I didn't see.
"Let's pray to Gauri for Mangalagaur"
"Let's stay up tonight
celebrating Mangalagaur"
"Let's pray to Gauri for Mangalagaur"
-Enough.
-What happened?
Five minutes...
Let's take a break for five minutes.
Will do.
Come here for a minute.
-What?
-Nothing.
You're holding my hand.
Are you coming to the washroom?
No, sorry.
-Go.
-Leave my hand.
Hey! What is it?
-Do you have something to say?
-Me?
Then leave my hand.
-I will.
-Yeah, 'I will.'
What's your problem?
Do you want to say something?
I'm getting irritated, understand?
You have nothing to say, right? Then?
What happened? Huh?
Why are you creating a scene here?
I'm telling you clearly. Leave my hand.
Left.
Have you gone mad?
What are you doing?
Exactly what you're doing.
Huh?
Leave Anirudh, Pallavi.
Don't hold on to him.
You won't understand.
Pallavi!
Pallav-- Pallavi!
Pallavi, you're not like me...
living off your husband's money.
You manage your resort all by yourself.
You won a tourism award.
Your son is a gold medalist.
He's in a better college than my daughter.
Who made this happen?
Anirudh?
You earned it, Pallavi.
You did.
But I... Pallavi...
It were these achievements of yours
that made me jealous...
since childhood.
I tried a lot...
to defeat you...
and make you jealous.
I couldn't do it even once.
But I want to forget about myself
this time around.
I don't want to defeat you this time..
Hmm...
You're right. The sandwich is really nice.
Guess you have a good chef.
Hold on to him.
Good chefs and good husbands...
can't be trusted.
Ah...
-Pallavi...
-Hmm...
you signed the papers...
-for that...
-Hey!...
Don't thank me.
Actually, I didn't set you free.
I became free.
I simply kept wondering...
how I'd manage without you.
What about our son,
our marriage and business?
But I was wrong.
I had become a kasturi deer.
Kasturi deer?
She doesn't know!
It's a kind of a deer.
It holds the Kasturi in its belly.
Kasturi means musk. Hmm?
Searching to find the
source of that scent...
the deer wanders all its life.
But the poor thing doesn't
realise till the end...
the fragrance was within.
Glad I realised it in time.
Once I'm done with the Mangalagaur...
I've to set my business.
Okay? See you.
Hmm...
This is for you.
Uh... So much make-up?
You look pretty.
Take care of your looks.
Bye.
"Like salt in bitter gourd"
"I wear bangles for Arvind"
She did it for once!
Wow! I'll leave now. Let's go.
Wait a while. Pallavi...
What about Pallavi?
Has she decided how she'll utter her
husband's name?
How come you don't know?
"On the carousel of your happiness"...
"I kept thinking of you"
"On the carousel of your happiness"...
"I kept thinking of you"
"Daughter, wife, sister, mother"
"I managed all relations"
"Breaking all bondage today"
"it's my democracy now!'
"I say Pallavi'
"because today Pallavi is set free'
What's this? You left for Bangalore
and returned without informing.
Are you hiding something?
-Good news?
-Ah... Nothing like that.
Oh, my! What's all this mess?
Mom has gone for two weeks
to practice at the farmhouse.
Yeah... Akshay's mom.
Yes and I wasn't home either.
Hence, the mess.
I'll help you clean. Come.
Oh, just a minute.
I'll do it.
How's the preparation
for the contest going?
All set? Ready to win?
Only if everyone can handle it!
Everything's haywire.
Mom, no big deal. Things will be fine.
You'll win for sure!
After all whose the captain?
Hmm... Are you fine?
Why are you talking like this?
Yes... Yes, I'm fine.
You're worried about the
contest so you feel like this.
What's this?
Don't you have to practice today?
Yes, but I have got ten minutes...
to have tea. Will you make some?
Of course.
Mom, you make tea today.
You know your tea is my favourite.
It's been days since I had it.
Indeed.
Nobody can match up to mom's cooking.
Your mom-in-law can't be as good.
-Mom...
-I'll get it.
Oh, dear.
Akshay's mom is running
a catering business!
So many tiffins.
Jaya!
-Mom, your phone is ringing.
-Coming.
-Hello.
-Hello, Shashi ma'am...
Yes.
I'm calling from the health
mediclaim company.
I have one. I'm not interested.
Madam, I wanted to speak about
the payment for Chinmayee's surgery.
You need to sign some forms.
Chinu's?
You should've sought revenge from me.
What wrong did Chinu do to you?
-Shashi, hear me out.
-I won't.
You were so keen to be a mother...
you signed the papers!
-Shashi, listen to me--
-Keep quiet!
I treat you like Mom.
You don't deserve it...
You...
Enough! Step back, step back!
I'm sorry I didn't tell you.
I wanted to tell you all about this...
...but I was under great pressure.
It's okay, dear.
It's okay?
Is it? Huh!
It's you who should be apologising.
What's this?
You drink together in the winery.
You keep your daughter-in-law here
and go to the farm house to practice.
You didn't even know
what problem she was facing!
You call her 50 times a day.
-Yet you didn't know!
-Look...
don't call yourself a mom
when you don't deserve to be one.
Enough, Mom!
What's wrong with you, Mom?
You tell me. Why did you lie?
You didn't feel like confiding in me?
Because I knew this would happen.
Meaning?
You didn't realise it, Mom...
you still haven't
asked me if I'm all right.
Do you know what's troubling you?
That fact that I didn't tell you.
Yes, I didn't...
because this is my life not yours.
Had you told me, we'd have done something.
How will you beget a child now?
I knew it!
Mom, look...
more than my misery,
do you know what's hurting you?
That Chinu can't be a mother.
My daughter...
who topped everything...
is best at everything.
How could she flunk in
the subject of becoming a mom?
What should I do now?
What coaching will help?
How to improve her life? Right?
And I know exactly why you're
participating in this competition.
You think...
your daughter is going away from you.
No, but that's the truth.
Yes.
Because when I'm with Akshay...
or with Mom, I never felt something...
is lacking in me.
Really, Mom.
Be happy.
Mom, accept one thing now.
In all of this...
aunt Jaya was not at fault.
If it weren't for her that day...
I wouldn't be here today.
She saved me.

Not just us, the whole team.
Mangalagaur finals are coming up.
Let's go.
Nobody's coming.
What happened, Ketaki?
Vaibhav got a bus...
to go to the contest.
Let's go.
And sister Jaya?
Greetings.
I'm very bad, sister.
Yes!
Wow!
Sister!
-Look that way.

-Do it.

competition and all fights.'
'Enough of dragging things endlessly.'
'Do you realise we have actually won?'
'Ego is dead. We beat it.'
'Enough of this foolishness...
let's laugh wholeheartedly.'
'Let differences settle
down while we spread love.'
'Let's forget all wrongdoings.'
'You come half the way and I'll come,
let's do away with grudges.'
'True feelings need no proof.'
'Let's hug each other wholeheartedly,
enough of all distances!'
'We're now close as peas in a pod.'
'Our life now has
the backing of our relation.'
'Let's forget the
competition and all fights.'
'We're the stars of the sky of life.'
