Mom Tane Nai Samjay (2025) Movie Script

Good morning. Hello. Hello.
Where a Gujarati dwells, Gujarat blossoms.
Wherever a Gujarati steps,
Gujarat comes alive.
It makes Gujarat throb.
These lines of Gujarat's poet Narmad,
is brought to life in
London by Aashka Mehta.
[APPLAUSE]
Aashka Mehta may have been born in London,
but her life is deeply rooted in culture.
Living in London,
she bridged the gap between Gujaratis,
and their roots in Sanskrit and Gujarati,
and won a gold medal.
[APPLAUSE]
She inspired thousands of Gujaratis,
to rediscover their language and culture.
London's Mayor, Robert James,
will honour her for her achievement.
- Mr. Robert James, please do the honours.
- Yes.
Thank you.
How are you?
We're fine.
We're fine.
[APPLAUSE]
Well, to list this lady's
qualities in such few words,
has been extremely difficult.
She is the perfect blend
of tradition and maternity,
and exactly the kind of citizen
that makes the great country
of the United Kingdom even
better place in which to live.
But today, today is not about me;
today is her day.
Ladies and gentleman,
please put your hands together
for beautiful Aashka Mehta.
Yeah!
[APPLAUSE]
[APPLAUSE]
Please, if you don't mind.
- Shall we?
- After you.
'Jai Shree Krishna'.
'Jai Shree Krishna'.
'Knowledge and wealth
alone don't earn respect;
humility brings true honour.'
This language is the essence of culture,
rooted in its land.
It's true,
no matter where I dine,
a Gujarati burp always follows.
No matter where my heart is,
my breath still belongs to Gujarat.
[APPLAUSE]
From a mother's blessings to the festive
spirit of Navratri, tradition lives on.
The soil we seek,
where pride blossoms
and hearts swell with glory.
It's my Gujarati, and it's who I am.
I admire how English culture has honoured
the values and traditions of other lands.
I would like to express my gratitude
towards our respected Mayor,
Mr. Robert James,
and British government
for this felicitation.
And last but not the least,
my companion in this journey, my husband,
Mr. Kunal Mehta.
Thank you so much.
Congratulations, Aashka ben.
Thank you so much.
You made us really proud.
But promise to teach Gujarati to my kids.
I definitely will.
Aashka, I'm sorry the meeting took so long.
I'm sorry.
And many congratulations to you.
Mr. Robert,
meet my husband Mr. Kunal Mehta.
- Hi, Robert, lovely meeting you.
- How are you?
I'm good, thank you so much.
Kabir and Meera didn't come.
You know they're just not interested,
So just... forget them.
Thank you so much.
Anyways let raise a toast to
my beautiful wife Aashka Mehta.
Cheers!
Cheers!
Come on, baby.
Leave my hand.
Don't touch me. Leave me, I said, go.
Come on.
What's your problem? Why you give a damn?
She is my girlfriend, okay?
- That's your problem.
- Hello,
just go away and get lost,
otherwise, I'll call the security.
Just get away.
Cool it, man. Chill.
Thank you so much.
Sorry, babes.
- Are you okay?
- I was so scared.
Sure.
[CLATTER]
[PHONE RINGING]
Oh my God, Jack. Please slow down.
- Oh, my goodness, -Please slow down.
What a fun time we had!
I'll never forget this night.
- You better not.
- Aww.
- Love you.
- I love you too, baby.
Bye.
- Bye. Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- Bye.
- Goodnight.
- Sweet dreams.
- Bye.

Meera, stop.
It's 3 am.
I know, so what?
Why didn't you pick up the call?
The music was too loud
in the club; I couldn't hear.
You've been clubbing too much lately, dear.
Your interference has increased too.
What's your problem with my clubbing?
I don't have a problem with your clubbing,
but the timing and how you return.
Mom, not again.
Mom, you won't understand.
Meera.
Meera...
I'm calling you from last 15 minutes,
Patel, what's this?
Pick up my calls.
Now listen to me,
you handle the container entry,
and I'll talk to the legal departments
regarding the documents.
Smart, huh?
Not you, me.
You're smarty pants!
Listen,
check the documents and keep them ready.
What, Patel?
How can you forget this?
You're aware, we will get permission,
after four days of emailing to him.
Email them right now.
Kunal.
Kunal.
Kunal,
I want to tell you something important.
[MESSAGE RECEIVED TONE]
What Aashka?
Why text when you're sitting next to me?
It's easier to text and get a reply.
Tell me, what is it?
I want to talk about Meera.
Last night she returned at 3 am.
She came at 3 am in the morning?
I've told her repeatedly,
but she just doesn't understand.
That's true.
Pay for entry at 12, she's out by 3.
How do we get our money's worth?
She's the daughter of
a Gujarati businessman.
She has to understand this.
Once, you set out for a walk at 5 am,
while she was coming back.
Remember?
What are you talking, Kunal?
[CHUCKLES]
Aashka, chill.
Relax and calm down.
Our daughter is an adult now.
She is not a kid anymore.
Exactly. I know she is not a kid but
whatever she is doing is not good for her.
Her lifestyle, and I need to tell you...
Excellent coffee.
How do you manage to make that?
I only have one cup a day,
but it's the best.
Just like you-strong.
You've changed so much.
The times have changed.
You should change with the times too.
Those who don't evolve with time,
find time standing still for them.
Don't bring your business
philosophy into our home.
[CHUCKLES]
It sometimes feels like I'm in a
boarding school, not at home.
Mary, Kabir, and I are your students,
and you the headmaster.
So, ma'am, can I please go to work now?
Actually, I have to...
- Kunal.
- Bye.
Listen to me... For once... Kunal.
Hello guys, hold on. What are you speaking?
Our app is just a few months in.
I know, Kabir,
but as per our expectations we haven't got
any responses on our rental applications.
People aren't switching to our app.
We've made a mistake.
I think we need a new idea.
Yeah, we haven't even succeeded even 20%.
Yeah, I know. We'll work on everything.
But right now, guys,
I have an amazing idea.
It's very fresh.
What?
No Human App.
No Human App!!!
Yes, this application will be
the replacement of humans.
You mean the one with
this app won't need humans?
Correct.
If you have No Human App,
you don't need humans.
It's a foolish idea.
Humans need each other.
Replacing humans is impossible.
It's madness.
Alina,
when the Wright brothers envisioned flight,
they were called mad.
Kabir,
you don't need No Human App but know human.
I don't agree with you.
Alina, you will agree with
time and that's my challenge.
Here's your favourite hot chocolate, Kabir.
- [TYPING SOUND]
- [THUD]
Drink it before it turns cold.
Don't disturb me now,
I'm working on my new project.
New project?
What's it about?
It's called the No Human App, mom.
No Human App?
Once my app launches,
people won't need humans anymore.
How does it work?
When my app gets launched,
it will do all the work in the world.
- Is it paid?
- Yes.
So, you'll free those who are already free?
No human is impossible.
People are accustomed to each other.
Habits can change. Everything is possible.
Through science,
night can be transformed into day.
I'll show you how. Look.
See that.
This isn't morning, it's brightness.
This isn't a replacement of sun.
Can Vitamin D really
be found in this light?
Sun, apart from its light,
gives us much more.
But people don't value it, as it's free.
A roof can give shade,
but only trees give oxygen.
But it's not important, because it's free.
No Human App is impossible.
What, mom?
I'm trying to do something
new and you're demotivating me.
- I'm not trying to demotivate you.
- Listen, mom,
I have a lot of faith in myself.
And I'll prove it, okay?
Is it?
Please explain how?
Let it be, mom, you won't understand.
Kunal, I have something to tell you.
So, do I.
It's about Kabir and Meera.
Haven't we already talked about this?
But it's important to discuss.
- Kabir and Meera...
- It's always the same problem.
Every time I'm in a romantic mood,
you bring up kids.
It's about our kids...
They've grown up, understand that.
Listen to me.
When you are with me,
I'd prefer you stay my wife.
But if you act like their mom, then...
Let it be.
You won't understand.
Goodnight.
Oh, please listen to me.
Listen more to them,
and speak less.
Listen to me and email him.
Good morning, dad. Good morning, mom.
- Good morning, Kabir.
- Payment will be done in 45 days
and not before that.
- It's our company's rule.
- Kabir,
- please have breakfast with us.
- Don't yell.
I'm comfortable here, please.
- Breakfast will not be served there.
- Everyone understands...
Come on, mom.
Please talk softly. You continue speaking.
Can we please have one meal together?
- Please don't shout.
- Mom, not again, please.
Please, serve me here.
- Come here and take it.
- Send the copies.
Fine, I don't want to eat.
Don't be stubborn.
It's a become a habit.
We can't we eat together?
Why are you so stubborn?
- Aashka, what's wrong with you?
- Ask him.
Nothing new dad. Same old thing.
Breakfast only at the dining table.
What is this?
So, what's wrong in this?
Then why do you disobey me?
Let him have breakfast where he likes.
Stop bringing up senseless topics.
She's just idle, looking for ways to fight.
Don't come late at night.
Having breakfast in your
favourite spot isn't allowed.
No drinking water while standing,
wake up early,
too many rules and restrictions.
I know, and one more thing rule.
If you want to do business,
you have to do according to her.
I think, since you're idle,
you come up with these things.
- Kunal.
- Exactly, dad.
You're so right.
Try joining a ladies club.
- Good idea.
- Oh no.
I have a better suggestion.
You should join music classes.
Music is a very good
medicine for the brain. - Yeah.
Don't say that.
Have pity on the other students.
She'll walk in and ban
playing guitar while standing.
Oh, and before you play the drums,
bow to her with folded hands.
[LAUGHING]
And last but not the least,
learn music as a group.
Or she'll throw them out.
[LAUGHING]
[INAUDIBLE]
[INAUDIBLE]
[DOORBELL CHIMES]
- [DOOR OPEN]
- [FOOTSTEPS]
How are you?
I'm good.
- Wow, - Welcome.
Wow,
you've learnt the African language Swahili.
(Speaking in Swahili)
What's that?
I'm asking him to sit.
What's wrong with him?
Good morning, Henil bhai.
I wonder when my morning will be good.
What on earth happened?
Since we're here,
she's got me waking up at 4 a.m.
in the freezing cold to exercise.
Yet, his size remains the same.
Stubborn rhino!
It was fine in Africa, but not in London,
here, you've got to stay fit.
Like Alok Sanghvi.
Who is Alok Sanghvi?
He is the lead actor in the new
Gujarati TV series Lok Parlok.
I'll be back.
He's so handsome, you wouldn't believe it.
Do you know?
Alok's wife is tortured
by her mother-in-law,
at times, I feel like grabbing her
through the screen and choking her.
Have some water.
No ways!
No water for him till Sunday.
- Why?
- He is fasting.
- What kind of fast is this?
- No, I'm not fasting.
Her obsession with Gujarati
serials have created chaos in my life.
- Can I have just a sip?
- No way.
- Only a sip.
- Move aside.
- Don't do that.
- Come with me.
Not a single drop of water for him.
Absolutely not.
- Don't do this.
- Not at all.
Don't listen to him.
- No means a no.
- Please, just a sip.
No.
Don't do this, let him have a sip.
Last night on the show,
Cancer zodiac signs were banned
from drinking water until Sunday.
It could harm them.
If I don't drink water till Sunday,
I might suffer.
Every day,
this show hits me with a new jolt.
Just hold on for four days,
then you can have the whole pot.
God, marrying her seems
worse than drowning in a lid.
You want to fight?
If you're looking for a fight, I'm ready.
I'm all set.
No need to argue,
just invite her so we can go.
- Invitation?
- Oh, yes.
Accept this.
Housewarming party on Sunday.
You all are invited.
Please bring everyone.
Yes, of course.
- And no gifts.
- What?
Only blessings.
That's not done.
I'll gift you something you like.
Please bring some holy water too.
I'll drink it if alive or
feed me if I'm dead.
Sure, let me see you dead!
Shall we leave?
Meet you on Sunday. Come on, let's go.
Goodbye.
Good idea, Kabir, but not possible.
Why impossible?
Ideas may look great on paper,
but when you execute them
it's just not possible.
Dad, tell me, if we can see the
future in the present, then why not?
My project's all set,
Everything is perfect,
I'll I need is an investor.
To invest,
you'll have to convince me first.
I have a meeting at the office,
but convince me and I'll
get you the investment.
Thank you, dad. Thank you so much.
I want to tell you something.
I love you.
I love you, Mary.
I love you too.
It's your love which keeps me alive.
Not just alive, I want to be your life.
Means?
Can we make our relation official?
Why?
Why not, Mary?
Why hide our relationship?
A relationship isn't something to display.
Nor is it to be hidden.
A relationship is about connection,
not flaunting.
I know you understand.
You're right.
My idea is futuristic.
These methods have been
used before in many places.
There are countless places
where humans have been replaced.
In our homes, appliances like toasters,
washing machines,
and dishwashers have replaced maids.
What used to take four people is now
done with a single click on the computer.
In fact, we now have driverless cars.
Dad, next, I'm focusing on AI and robots.
Robots will be the replacement of humans.
They will be operated by my applications.
Imagine, this invention will be the
greatest revolution of the whole world.
That people can't even think of.
Very good idea.
You're right, Kabir.
Do one thing, make a presentation.
I'll speak to my friend, Palash.
Uncle Palash?
It's not my subject.
He's got a software company.
And he might be interested.
Thank you so much, dad.
Oh my, please bring the trolley.
This is heavy.
Okay.
People are laughing at me.
Let them, your health is more important.
- How much more will you buy?
- Raise your arm.
How is it possible?
I'll show you.
[YELLING]
Of course, possible, so easy! Come on.
It's too heavy.
Biscuits look yummy.
Hey, Romi. Henil bhai.
Hi.
Poor guy, what's this?
Trolleys are available, why make him carry?
Doctors' advice,
weight lift for weight loss.
- Really?
- Weight lifting makes me hungry.
I gain weight by overeating.
No complaints of hunger,
it's a week-long fast from today.
Why? Is there a reason for fasting?
In the TV show, Alok Sanghvi keeps
a strict fast to keep his wife happy.
He is barred from eating until Alok eats.
I want to smash the TV.
Don't even think, it's not so easy!
Until the TV is repaired and I
know Alok Sanghvi has eaten,
you'll have to stay hungry. Understood!
Didn't you want jaggery?
Yes, two boxes.
Oh, God!
(Speaking in Swahili)
Come on, let's go. Come on.
- I'll fall off.
- Hurry up.
[LAUGHING INDISTINCTLY]
Sorry.
Did you pick this up for Mary?
Yes.
Even I bought this for Mary.
I know it's her favourite.
Oh, sorry, I'm Vicky, Mary's boyfriend.
Greetings.
Greetings.
I'm sure Mary hasn't shared with you,
but we are dating each other.
We love each other.
Since how long?
Since last one year.
One year?
Yes.
Can you please save your number in this?
- Sure.
- Please.
[LAUGHING]
I told you.
No way.
Oh, God.
- What a fun night it was.
- You're such a...
- yeah.
- I'll never forget this night.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Good night.
We should do this more often.
Yes, cutie.
Bye.
[FOOTSTEPS]
Who is Jack?
You don't know who is Jack?
He is my boyfriend.
And who's Vicky?
Vicky?
Who is Vicky?
I don't know who is Vicky.
Not only are you wrong,
but now you're lying as well.
How do you know Vicky?
Who is Vicky?
He is also my boyfriend.
Are you even listening to yourself?
You're dating two different
guys at the same time.
So, what?
So, what means what?
This is not right, Meera.
How could you do this?
Why can't I?
If I have to choose my life partner
then I must check all the options.
- Options?
- Yes.
Before buying shoes,
we always check which one feels right.
How can I choose a life partner
without really checking first?
What nonsense are you talking?
How can you compare
non-living things to humans?
What happens to their feelings
when you reject one of them?
I can't ruin my life for the
sake of other's emotions.
Yeah, but you can ruin somebody
else's life for your own happiness.
I don't care.
- What?
- Mom, please
don't try to put your
typical philosophy on me.
I have my own life.
I have my own rules.
- Why don't you understand?
- Meera.
Why am I even trying to explain?
Mom, you won't understand.
But if they don't agree to our terms,
just leave it.
But we have old relations with this client.
[PHONE RINGING]
It doesn't matter.
Business isn't about personal connections.
We should...
In which our company doesn't profit,
such partners or products,
I don't want such employees.
Just hold on.
I'm in a meeting. I'll call back.
What happened?
Suddenly?
What happened?
No, wait. I'm coming.
I'm coming.
I've got to go.
Yeah, I'm on my way.
[VEHICLE PASSING BY]
- [TYRE SCREECH]
- [DOOR OPEN]
[DOOR CLOSE]
Aashka, what is it?
You called me frantically,
saying it was an emergency.
What is it?
It's about Kabir and Mary.
What? Are you mad?
I left a crucial meeting,
speeding in stress,
and you want to discuss this?
Come on, Aashka.
Can anything be more
important than our children?
There is a difference between
emergency and importance.
We could've discussed this at home.
But we don't.
No matter how many times I try,
it never happens.
I'm completely unaware
of what they're up to.
Kabir has changed drastically.
He's developing an app where
humans won't rely on each other.
Aashka, I know about his app.
He's confident about his idea.
Just let him go ahead. It's doesn't matter.
It's not about that,
but it's changed his thinking completely.
He's detached himself from emotions.
And...
Don't even get me started on Meera.
She comes and goes whenever she pleases.
Do you know,
she is dating two boys at a time?
We can give them the freedom to soar,
but the path they choose is theirs.
After exploring the skies,
the bird always returns home.
They won't understand today,
but by the time they realize,
it'll be too late.
[CHUCKLES]
Aashka, you're over thinking.
Stop overanalyzing.
And you've completely stopped thinking.
We started the business together,
but after the pregnancy,
I took care of the kids while
you handled the business.
But after that,
you just managed the business.
Are you saying
I haven't been paying attention to them?
Paying attention and taking care
are two different things.
Our kids are on a
completely different tangent.
If you don't intervene now,
there will be no turning back.
It will hurt you the most then.
Help me, Kunal.
We still have time to stop them.
How is that?
They need you, Kunal.
They need your guidance.
They've gotten used to my constant nagging.
They hear the words
but don't let them sink in.
It'll make a huge difference
if you speak to them.
Aashka, don't worry.
Everything is going to be alright.
Don't stress.
Everything will get sorted.
I've an idea.
It's Kabir's birthday the day after.
Let's celebrate it together.
It will be super fun.
Wow, that's an amazing idea, Kunal.
I'll ask Kabir and Meera to
come back at night, and you too.
Always at your command, madam.
Didn't I just appear
here as Alladin's genie?
Thank you, sir.
Welcome.
Vicky, you over-smart idiot!
What happened, madam?
- Why so series?
- Why so serious!!
It's all because of you.
Because of me?
What did you rat out to mom?
Cool down, Mary. Calm down, okay.
You fool, I clearly said not to meet mom,
then why did you meet her?
I bumped into mom at the mall.
Don't you dare call her mom.
Sorry, I talked to aunty after
running into her at the mall.
I'm so sorry, Mary.
You'll say sorry and walk away,
but I'm the one who had to face it.
I did not have any intention to hurt you.
Okay, now please sit. Calm down.
Please have a seat. Please baby.
[SIGHS]
Henceforth,
I will not meet anyone without asking you.
Not even my mom, okay.
Okay.
Listen, you are looking gorgeous in black.
Oh, is it?
Okay tell me what will you have? Mocktail?
- Yeah.
- One second.
[DOOR OPEN]
Kabir, he is still in bed.
Wake up, Kabir.
Get up.
Let me sleep, please.
It's 8am. Wake up.
So, what? Please let me sleep.
Didn't you have a meeting scheduled?
Get up.
Oh, yes, you're right.
Thank God, I still have time.
Freshen up and come down for breakfast.
Listen,
pre-celebrating your birthday today,
just make sure you're back before 12.
I'll try.
Nothing doing, you have to come.
[TONGUE CLICKING]
- What's this?
- What?
Such a small balloon?
If I blow it bigger, it'll burst.
(Speaking in Swahili)
If only you treated your
stomach the same way.
Overeating will burst it.
(Speaking in Swahili)
Please, leave my stomach in peace.
Why don't you reduce it?
(Speaking in Swahili)
It's not like the budget,
that I'll decrease by my wishing.
It's not in my control.
(Speaking in Swahili)
It is in your hands.
Stuffing yourself with both hands,
has turned your belly into a pot.
Pass me the pump.
No way, you got to blow them all.
It'll help you deflate your stomach.
Romi, come quick.
Romi.
Yeah, coming.
Just look at this.
Oh, wow.
You've baked a wonderful cake.
I want him to cut the cake I bake for him.
- All curtesy, YouTube.
- Wow!
You go out of the way for your kids.
You guys are always there for us.
Thank you so much.
I am really grateful to both of you.
Why thank? A good neighbour is a blessing.
What does that mean?
A neighbour in need is a neighbour indeed.
Make sure to reach here before 12.
Be on time please before midnight.
Hope he won't doze off.
Sorry, we won't be able to come.
Why?
My friend's brother is coming to London,
so got to pick him from the airport.
- Romi.
- Aashka ben,
don't worry about the cake.
I'll wipe it off tomorrow morning.
There you go again with the stuffing issue.
Go out and exhale air.
- What?
- I mean, blow the balloons.
Let's get back to work. Hurry up.
Want to eat the cake! Always overindulging!
[FOOTSTEPS]
Why isn't Kabir picking up the call?
[PHONE RINGING]
Hello.
Is it Vicky?
Yes. Who is this?
Meera's mom, Aashka.
Tell me, aunty.
Is Meera with you?
No, but what happened?
She didn't pick up call so
assumed to be with you.
Okay, let me try.
I'll inform if I get through.
Yes, sure. Thank you, dear.
Hope the kids don't ruin my celebrations.
Hello, sweetheart.
I'm extremely sorry,
the meeting stretched long.
But I'm back on time.
Wow, fabulous decorations!
The cake looks delicious.
Please call Kabir.
- He isn't responding to my calls.
- Then he must be busy.
I had strictly warned them
to be back before midnight.
And now neither of them
is picking up my calls.
Try calling them,
maybe they'll answer yours.
No point calling them.
It's almost 12.
Come on, be practical.
Save the cake in the refrigerator.
We'll celebrate tomorrow morning.
But I made such elaborate preparations.
I baked the cake for him.
What's this?
You do it and you say it too.
Everyone has their own lives.
Can't help it if he didn't return.
How does it matter if we
celebrate it in the morning?
It's one and the same.
It's the same thing.
Be mature.
I'll see you.

What? The gate is locked?

Even I have college.
Did you lock the door, dad?
Why should I lock, come on?
Then who locked it?
It's me.
But why?
Mom, are you mad?
Yes, I am mad.
Last night, I waited for all
three of you until midnight,
but none of you turned up.
I was on time.
You were supposed to come on time,
but you arrived right on the dot.
Why didn't you pick my calls, Kabir?
Mom, I was in middle of work.
Right now,
I have work with all three of you.
Hence, I locked the door.
It's the only way I can
get you all to listen.
You'll are neither at home
nor picking up my calls.
It's a miracle to find
all three of you together.
What madness is this?
Madness?
I waited for all of you until midnight.
I did elaborate decorations for the house.
I even baked a cake for him,
and they couldn't even
bother to pick my calls?
I want to know.
I'm curious, what kind of job is it
where picking up calls is not allowed?
I was with my friends, mom.
They started the celebrations
just as I was about to leave.
Kabir said he wouldn't be able to make it.
It didn't make sense for me to come back
when the birthday boy wouldn't be there.
Why didn't you pick my call?
If I pick your call,
it's just the same nagging.
You never listen.
You begin nagging the moment I pick up.
So, I let dad know we
wouldn't be able to make it.
Yeah, dad knew about it.
Come to me, Aashka. Listen.
Come here.
Sit here.
Be seated here.
- Listen what I am trying to say is.
- Leave that...
If you knew, why didn't you tell me?
But you never listen to anyone.
You just don't listen.
They're matured enough.
They're adults.
They want to celebrate in their own way.
- Nothing is wrong in that.
- You should've informed me.
Why didn't you involve me?
I spent all day wondering
which cake flavour to bake,
and if Kabir would like it.
Will Kabir be upset if I do this?
How can I surprise him?
How do I write his name on the cake?
I was excited all day thinking about it.
But no one told me I was a fool,
that no one would be
there with me at midnight.
You're a fool and will always be one.
Why didn't you say nobody would show up?
Mom, stop overreacting.
- Yeah.
- Yes, I'm overreacting.
I'm overdramatic.
I'm mad.
I'm senseless, and now I'm a fool too.
I don't get it.
If it's my birthday,
why would you want to celebrate it?
Your birthday?
- Yeah.
- How's that?
When a child is born,
a woman becomes a mother.
Along with the birth of a child,
a mother is born too.
When you were born,
I was the happiest.
I thought the son and mother would
celebrate their birthdays together.
I've already celebrated my birthday.
Alone.
Meera, you could've at least
informed me that you weren't coming.
And Kunal...
You asked me to keep
the cake in the fridge.
All your emotions are frozen.
You never think beyond yourselves,
nor feel anything.
[PHONE RINGING]
It's my investor's call, I have to go.
You have to go?
Everybody has to go.
Except for me,
you all find time to go everywhere.
[CLATTER]
Here is the key.
Go wherever you wish.
Listen, Aashka.
Aashka.
Yeah, I'm on my way.
Dad, I've to leave. Bye.
- I also have to leave.
- Dad, please drop me.
Sure.
What's happening?
I won't know till you speak.
A fight with Kunal?
What happened?
Say something.
Please don't cry.
[SIGHS]
Kabir, Meera
and Kunal.
They don't value me at all.
My care seems to annoy them.
They find my worry controlling.
I was so excited about
Kabir's birthday yesterday.
Yeah.
Neither Kabir nor Meera
came home last night.
Oh.
They don't respect the home anymore.
Please, don't take it to heart.
This is a common story in every home.
But why?
Why do the children you consider your life,
want to step away from life itself?
Their birthday means more
to their mother than to them.
They couldn't even
spare ten minutes for me.
They have the whole world,
but for me, they are my entire world.
Why don't they understand it?
Kunal is supporting them too.
Why?
[SOBBING]
Please don't cry.
Mom. Where are you?
Mom. Where are you?
Mom! Mom! Mom!
Where are you?
Mom, where are you?
Mom.
What is it?
Why did you call my friend?
Which friend?
Don't try to act innocent, okay?
Why did you call Vicky last night?
- That's because I couldn't get through you.
- Does that mean you'll call everyone?
I had a major fight because of you.
My friends asked me all sorts of questions,
where I was, what I was doing,
and why my phone was off.
I want to know too, why was your phone off?
That's none of your business.
What do you mean none of my business?
- What's that supposed to mean?
- I mean to say... wait. Dad.
- Don't involve dad in petty squabbles.
- Dad!
- You keep quiet. Always irritating!
- Why involve dad?
- Dad has spoiled you rotten.
- Yeah, he has pampered me.
You stay out of it.
- Dad! Dad!
- You just don't want to obey me.
- Being so assertive.
- What happened?
Ask her to stop asking
questions about our whereabouts.
I care for them.
Tell her we don't need her care.
Dad,
explain it to her that we're adults now.
And we can take good care of ourselves.
Tell her to let us live our
lives the way we want.
The way you're living,
it's risky for both of you.
She's dating two guys at the same time,
and he's making such an app...
Stop! Not a word about my app.
What's your problem with whatever we do?
The problem is,
she's just sitting idle at home,
and there's been no
progress for her over the years.
So, she is jealous of us.
You are so right.
I'm your mom.
Then behave like mom.
Don't try to be a boss.
Stop harassing us, okay.
Say something,
look at the way they're treating me.
Stop it.
Aashka, stop it right there.
There's truth in what they're saying.
It's starting to irritate me too.
Your constant talking, your nagging.
Do you think you run the house?
Let me make it clear, I run the house.
I don't get it,
after all that education,
why behave like this?
Maybe your education has given you an ego.
Your awards, your PhD. Huh?
I'm creating this No Human App,
to bring down the egos of people like mom.
I don't want to be like you.
I don't want to waste
my life being a housewife.
If mom continues like this,
I'll leave the house.
If she wants to impose restrictions on us,
then I don't want to stay here. Tell her.
- No, please listen to me...
- Enough! Enough!
Stop it, Aashka.
What they're saying,
I've been trying to explain for days,
but you just won't listen.
Everyone has the right to live the life,
they want.
They have the right.
They're studying and working,
and you're constantly disturbing them.
Please understand.
You're idle at home all day.
Enjoy your life.
Stop harassing people.
If you can live in peace, then do so.
Don't drain the life out of us.
Please! Please! Please!
Is this a plea, or just a question.
The eyes refuse to see.
This is the harsh truth.
They kept tormenting,
while I kept weeping.
They kept tormenting,
while I kept weeping.
Everyone has their own life.
We can't help if he didn't come.
No one hears me,
what kind of love is this?
The eyes refuse to
see; this is the harsh truth
'I'm creating this No Human App,
to bring down the egos
of people like mom'.
'I don't want to be like you'.
'I don't want to waste
my life being a housewife'.
'If you can live in peace, then do so.'
'Don't drain the life out of us.
'Please!'
The harmony I desire is far away.
The harmony I desire is far away.
Those who aren't by my side,
I ache for them.
Those who aren't by my side,
I ache for them.
Is this a plea, or just a question.
They kept tormenting,
- while I kept weeping - Mom,
you won't understand.
They kept tormenting,
while I kept weeping.
No one hears me,
what kind of love is this?
No one hears me,
what kind of love is this?

Dad!
Dad!
Dad! Where are you?
[FOOTSTEPS]
Dad! Where are you?
I'm here. Come here.
Dad, you won't believe this.
Look at what mom posted on my app.
- What is it?
- Mom on Rent!
- Mom on Rent?
- Can you believe this?
- Has she gone mad?
- Exactly.
Aashka.
- Aashka.
- God knows why she posted it on my app.
What happened, dad? Why are you shouting?
- Look, what your mom has posted.
- She has lost it.
Mom on Rent! Can you believe this?
Why would she post this on your app, bro?
God knows.
I think, we should ask mom about this.
What does 'Mom on Rent' mean?
'Mom on Rent' means that,
just like cars and homes can be rented,
Mom can be rented too.
Mom will live with you and fill the void.
Exactly.
Sure, send me the address.
I'll see you there, okay.
Alright. Bye.
What's all this?
- What's going on?
- What is this?
- Good morning.
- Aashka.
- Mom?
- Yeah, I had posted it.
Right.
- Yes, you are right.
- Mom, what's this? Answer us.
- Why have you posted that in my app?
- Aashka.
That means mom is available on rent.
Why are you behaving like this?
- Yeah, sure. Send me your location.
- Hear that, dad!
Look at her,
she is ignoring us intentionally.
Okay, bye.
What's this? Yelling when I'm on a call.
What's going on?
Are you mad, mom?
Stop fooling around and
delete this post immediately.
- Yes.
- Yes.
This is not a joke.
I'm damn serious about this.
You're not an object
that can be rented out.
Exactly.
I'm going to be 'rented' to
prove that I'm not just an object.
Just tell us, what do you want?
I'm getting late, we'll discuss this later.
- Bye.
- No, no wait.
Bye. Hello.
[MUSIC OVERLAP ON DIALOGUES]
Yeah, exactly we are in trading but
now we are also into manufacturing.
Yes.
See you soon. Yeah.
We have a meeting with Abhay, any update?
I'll just get the confirmation, sir.
- Thank you.
- Excuse me.
Ma'am has posted something-Mom on Rent.
Yeah, I know about that.
Sorry sir, but it's bad for the company's
reputation and your image as well.
Even the clients are asking about it.
Can we please ask ma'am to remove the post,
if that's okay?
I'll speak to Aashka.
- Thanks for your concern.
- Welcome, sir.
[FOOTSTEPS]
No, you're misunderstand.
The post is not for a baby sitter.
No,
it's not 'Wife on Rent' but 'Mom on Rent'.
Please send me your address.
I'll be there at 5pm.
Whoa!
Wow, Kabir. It's amazing.
- Unbelievable.
- I know.
The app has so many downloads.
It's a jackpot, Kabir.
Our reached has increased
drastically overnight.
Yeah, because of the 'Mom on Rent' post.
Our app traffic has increased tremendously.
- Yes, all thanks to that lady.
- Excuse me. Wait.
Why thanks to that lady?
She posted her add on our app, right?
So, she should thank us for the platform.
- But because of her post.
- Listen,
it's all my hard work.
People downloaded as there was an app.
No need to give credits to others.
Kabir, isn't that your mom's post?
It's my personal matter, Alina.
But now it's public.
What's happened? Why did aunty post this?
I don't know. It's her life,
she can do what she wants. I don't care.
Your actions reveal if it truly impacts you.
I don't care what she is up to.
I'm frustrated with having
to answer everyone.
Then you have to talk to her,
find a solution and solve the problem.
Why should I talk?
It's benefitting me.
It's a profession win but a personal loss.
My life is my profession
and my profession is my life.
[FOOTSTEPS]
Aashka ma'am?
Yes.
Hi, I'm Kevin.
Hi.
I'm Jaggi.
Hi. Please sit.
I had called you.
Okay.
Actually, you need to pretend to
be my mom and meet someone.
Excuse me?
You want me to pretend to be your mom?
Yes,
and obviously we will pay your payment.
Are you out of your mind?
Is this the way you do things?
What do you mean?
Didn't you post it on the app?
What does that mean?
Let me explain.
Jaggi has a girlfriend,
whose granny just arrived here.
Jaggi had lied to her
that he lived with his mom.
Granny wants to meet Jaggi's mom.
Hope you understood.
Please, help us.
Firstly,
my post wasn't for this kind of a job.
Secondly and more importantly,
this is wrong.
You shouldn't do this.
Yes, we know this is wrong.
But it can prevent Jaggi's breakup.
Listen, I get your point but I'm sorry.
I will not be able to help you in this.
- Please, Aashka ma'am.
- Please, listen.
Please just this time.
Just help us for once.
This once will become a habit.
Say I do meet her,
then what?
What will you do the next time?
Granny may not even be around by then.
- What?
- No, I mean,
granny's about to hit the century mark.
So?
She's struggled her way to 100.
Like autumn leaves, she's fading away.
She's a falling leaf,
no chance of crossing paths again.
- So, don't worry.
- Yeah.
I'm sorry, but I can't be a part of this.
I have no choice now; I'll just
say my mother passed away.
How ridiculous!
Don't you have any emotions?
You've turned rituals into ruins.
How could we have emotions
and values when no one taught us?
Sorry, your post sparked hope in us.
For a brief moment,
we forgot that if mom was in our fate,
God wouldn't have
snatched her away at birth.
You mean your mom?
When I was born, the doctor
told dad her condition was critical,
either I survive or she does.
Dad asked to save Mom.
But when Mom was asked the same,
she said...
I was seven when my parents divorced,
and I've grown up in a hostel ever since.
We're sorry to bother you.
I'll come with you guys.
So, you'll come with me... as a mom?
Yes. Not just like that, but officially.
What?
I'll be your mom and stay with you.
- Oh my god, thank you.
- Thank you, - I'll fall off.
No, we won't let you fall.
Okay, see you soon.
Yes.
[FOOTSTEPS]
Wow, mission accomplished.
Aashka.
Aashka. What is this?
I'm talking,
but you're ignoring me intentionally.
Well, ignoring is always intentional.
Don't be stubborn.
What's this? What do you think?
If you leave,
everything will fall into place.
I'll be able to live better, though.
What's your problem?
I've made up my mind.
I'm not changing my decision.
But your decision is wrong.
It's useless, there's no benefit in it.
Benefits are for business,
in relationships, we value feelings.
The thought of you leaving is hurting me.
Don't you see that?
My business and reputation are suffering.
Understand this.
You care more about your business than me.
Our relationship means nothing to you,
but you're worried about your image.
[FOOTSTEPS]
You'll regret this.
Leaving home is easy,
but living without a home is difficult.
Is it harder than turning an
empty house into a home?
Do you really think we
will suffer if you leave?
Will everything come to
a standstill without you?
I don't feel any such thing.
All I want is respect.
Mom, what's your problem here?
Everyone's out, so,
you've got the place to yourself.
Enjoy the peace and quiet.
When you're alone and
all you hear is your breath,
that's solitude.
Alone at home,
with just the ticking of the clock,
that's loneliness.
Before I leave,
let me quickly remind you about some chores.
Hey, hold on...
Are you honestly thinking
I can't make coffee?
- No, I didn't mean that.
- Before you leave,
do me a favour,
and delete the post from the application.
Oh, no, no. No, dad, please.
- Mom, please don't delete the post.
- But why Kabir?
It's affecting my image.
Deleting the post will harm my business.
One cares about his reputation,
the other about his profits.
I was sceptical about whether
my decision was right or wrong,
but now I'm sure.
My choice was right.
Goodbye.

Hello.

Sorry, we didn't mention before.
I mean, we forgot to tell.
His mom passed away during the pandemic.
Since then, he is addicted to weed.
But will you stay here with us?
Hey, Jimmy. How you doing, man?
Have a good day. Cheers.
This is for you.
Thank you.
So,
this is a toast for your new found freedom.
- So, cheers to Mary's independence.
- Cheers.
[LAUGHING]
I'm loving this.
Can you believe it?
Your mom's gone,
now you can be out all day and night.
- You're a free bird.
- You're right, Jack.
Mom's out, freedom's in.
Oh no, all the clothes are strewn around.
Do they even bother to wash them?
This is what happens
when the boys live alone.
Is this the sock spot?
- Too much!
- Hello.
Who are you?
Sandy: I'm Aashka.
- Who, Aashka?
- Jaggi, Kevin... - That Jaggi...
who is she?
Sandy: she is mom.
Oh, your mom.
Hello aunty.
You didn't mention your
parents have patched things up.
Not his, but our mom.
Mom to all three of us.
Our mom? Let me explain.
What happened to him?
- Why is he behaving like this?
- No, let me explain.
His intoxication has worn off.
- Kevin.
- Yeah, coming.
I'll just come.
Romi,
I'm at the fresh fruits and veggies section.
Aashka ben.
How are you?
I'm good, but what have you done?
I had no inkling.
Hey, Romi... How are you, Aashka ben?
- Hello.
- Hello.
Why are you always glued to me?
Go take a stroll, leave us alone.
This isn't a garden for me to waltz around.
Fine, stay here. We'll walk around.
Don't move, okay?
Let's go, Aashka ben.
Be right here.
Where did you suddenly disappear?
What happened? This is not done.
I called to discuss exactly that.
After you've already left home?
Had you disclosed earlier,
I wouldn't have let you go.
The situation was such that I had to leave.
You did like Nupur; she had left home too.
Poor Alok cried himself thin.
What's going on? Did Kunal say something?
Don't worry, I'll talk to Kunal.
I can only explain if you
give me a chance to speak.
Oh, yeah, sure. Please continue.
I mulled this over
before making a decision.
What makes leaving home a smart move?
What is closest to the eye
is often the hardest to see.
To be noticed,
sometimes you need to move away further.
Your words baffle me.
You just listen,
I'm away for a while,
but I'm deeply worried about Meera,
Kabir, and Kunal.
Take care of them, please.
Don't worry, I've got your back.
[GASPS]
It will be fine.
Jaggi. Sandy.
Jaggi.
Wake up.
Looks like mom's making
a delicious breakfast.
Hurry up, let's go.
The aroma is amazing!
Yummy.
Has the aroma wafted in?
Yes, mom. Hurry, we can't wait!
Yes, get it fast.
Yes, but have you all brushed?
No!
Alright, go brush your teeth first.
Hurry up.
But the doc advised me
to brush only at bed time.
- Is it?
- Bro, he advised to brush at night too.
No brushing, no breakfast.
Don't be a bully.
This is the mom's rule.
Quickly brush your teeth.
Breakfast is just enough for two,
so, the first two will get to eat.
Hurry and brush.

Oh, thank you.

- Hi, good morning.
- Good morning, Mary.
- Good morning, dad.
Come, have something.
Oh, cookies.
What are you having?
Sandwich, but I only ordered for one.
I'll grab something on the way.
I'm getting late.
- Okay, as you wish. Bye.
- Bye.

What a coffee!
Hurry up. Steaming hot breakfast is served.
That was faster than a bullet train.
Have patience.
This is for you.
It's so yummy.
I'm having it after such a long time.
I'm enjoying it.
Why go away?
But breakfast was only for two.
I was joking.
Of course, you are welcome. Come, sit.

Jack, I want to tell you something.
Yes, what?
I think,
we should tell everyone that we're dating.
[UPBEAT MUSIC]
But why?
Why not?
We love each other and we
are going to get married in future.
Wait, wait.
What marriage?
We're together because we
like spending time together.
We're good for some fun,
but we can't live together for a lifetime.
Don't you love me?
Of course, I love you.
But I can't live with you.
Then what was all of this between us?
Enjoy, babes. Even I want you to enjoy.
Don't be serious.
Jack, I'm serious.
Oh god, Mary.

Don't interfere in my personal life.

- Stop, Sandy. Don't go.
Stop, Sandy. Where are you going?
- He is going to get some weed.
- Why don't you stop him?
We tried, but it's all in vain.
It's an addiction; he can't quit.
If you lose to a habit,
it will eventually control you.
I won't let him enter.
Just stop him from
doping when he is with you.
- But then he won't be with us.
- That's true.
How ironic!
Ask someone to change,
and the bond weakens.
Tell someone to change their mind,
and they'll drift away.

Hello.

[FOOTSTEPS]
I'm extremely sorry, guys.
It's okay,
but you've broken your rule today.
As till now his mom woke him up on time.
Are you still asking him?
He's never been late like this before.
Stop it. That's not true.
If your schedule gets
disrupted without your mom,
then your app's concept doesn't work.
What nonsense.
What's the fuss about me being late?
At the end I'm your boss.
We are a team, Kabir.
And I'm the team leader.
Think before speaking to me.
Simply follow my instructions.
Because this project,
this idea, everything is mine.
Get it?
Understand, Kabir,
if there's a boss on this project,
then listen, I'm out of this project.
I came on board due to friendship,
but if there's a hierarchy here,
then I'm out of this project.
Even I'm out.
What makes you think I can't build
the app without your contributions?
Anyone who wants to quit, can leave.
Hear me out, wise up.
It's impossible to do it all by yourself.
I'll prove it's possible,
even without your contributions.
I'll change the entire
world with my thoughts.
But you've become a changed person now.
Did you have coffee this week?
Yes, doctor.
Then that's what caused the constipation.
You're allergic to coffee.
I've had coffee for years,
and this has never happened.
It's not possible.
When you came with your wife last time,
we detected your coffee allergy.
I emailed those reports to your wife.
You must quit coffee right away.
If not, it will only increase.
Can you please email me the reports?
Hi, Mary.
What a pleasant surprise!
Come, sit.
Vicky, I need to tell you something.
Sure, please do.
I love you.

What's the matter?
Who is he?
- Vicky, I was about to tell you...
- You were two timing me!
- Having a fling with me.
- Vicky.
Your proposal is a farce.
- You're a liar.
- It's not like that,
- I can explain.
- Don't touch me, okay.
Okay, but let me explain.
I can explain this to you.
So, you accept you were double dating?
No, Vicky, please listen.
- Wow, Mary!
- He forced me into it.
You're a wonderful artist.
I'm sorry, Vicky.
- Never ever try to get in touch with me.
- Please, Vicky.
[MUSIC OVERLAP ON DIALOGUES]
'Can you hear yourself?'
'You're dating two different
guys at the same time.'
'What happens to their feelings
when you reject one of them?'
'I can't ruin my life for the
sake of other's emotions.'
'Sure, but you can ruin other's
Life just for your own happiness.'
Where's Sandy?
He left in the morning.
Left? And skipped breakfast?
I told him, but he refused.
Just doesn't listen.
[PHONE RINGING]
Awesome breakfast.
Hello.
Kunal.
Aashka.
Doctor mentioned.
I have coffee allergy and constipation,
were you aware of this?
Did you have coffee today?
Yeah, was having my cup of coffee.
You managed without me;
can't you manage without coffee?
How will a coffee addict function?
Don't worry.
Coffee is here to stay.
Listen up and walk to the kitchen.
Alright, go on.
Open the fridge.
- I'm listening.
- Do you see a glass jar?
Glass jar.
Next to the cheese.
Yeah, the one with white powder.
Yeah, that's the one.
Add 1 spoon of it into your coffee.
What's this powder?
It's an Ayurvedic powder.
If you add 1 spoon to your coffee,
your problem will be solved.
The coffee flavour won't be affected.
Have you been adding this to my coffee?
Why didn't you tell me?
Pain isn't meant to be flaunted;
it's meant to be healed.
Aashka.
Thank you, Aashka.
What? What are you saying?
Weren't your final designs due this week?
Now you're saying it's not possible?
This is really unprofessional.
- Sorry, sir.
- Don't be sorry.
I can't afford a project delay.
This is about my company's reputation.
Can I ask the reason for delay?
I had an issue with my teammates,
so, I'm working alone now.
Your idea, my investment.
Can't you develop the app alone?
But I need manpower.
No Human App can't be developed
because of lack of manpower?
Once the app is made then...
How do you plan to
finish it without a team?
Honestly,
I'm not sure we'll succeed this way.
Without people,
neither business nor life can thrive.
We've failed before we
even launched the app.
Get this: whether it's Facebook,
Instagram, or WhatsApp,
the concept is about connecting people.
Trust me, we'll be successful.
Believe me, Kabir,
this concept will never be successful.
I'm sorry,
but we are stopping this project.
- But sir...
- I'm very sorry, Kabir.
Where were you since morning?
You even skipped the breakfast. Why?
Please have some milk.
I don't want it.
Hey.
You haven't eaten anything since morning.
You'll fall sick.
Please leave.
No need to take care of me, please.
You can't do without weed, right?
I know it.
You smoke weed because you miss your mom.
Can weed substitute for mom?
If your mom were alive,
would she approve of a drug-addicted son?
Eat timely.
Juice in the morning and milk at night.
Stay busy,
and the cravings won't cross your mind.
Weed gradually destroys people from within.
You've already experienced
the pain of losing a family.
Please have some milk.
Okay, fine.
If my words resonate with you
and you consider me like a mother,
then drink the milk,
or else, as you wish.

Hello, Romi.
How are you?
I'm good.
[LAUGHING]
So, what's up?
I have news for you.
Kunal has been constantly
enquiring about you since a few days.
Are you in touch with Aashka?
Really?
Yeah, can I say something?
He misses you immensely.
Okay.
Obviously.
And listen,
don't stress about the house at all.
My eyes are on them.
Romi, thank you very much.
You don't need to thank.
You take care of yourself, alright?
Okay, bye.
Goodnight.
Mom, don't try teaching me.
How I spend my money is my choice.
I'm entitled to half of your alimony.
Which you're legally bound to give me.
Just send me my money, that's all.
I don't want to hear another word.
I won't call again for this.
Jaggi. Jaggi. Come here.
Jaggi.
- Kevin?
- Jaggi, come fast, please.
Sandy?
Yeah, coming. What happened?
What's it, Sandy?
Where are you?
Happy birthday!
What a surprise!
Thank you.
Happy birthday, Jaggi.
Jaggi.
Happy birthday, son.
Mom. Dad.
- Yes, son.
- Yes, son.
We are together.
Sorry, son.
Because of our divorce,
we couldn't keep you with us.
Sorry, son.
But we love you a lot.
Yes, dear.
Love you, mom, dad.
And I'm sorry.
Aashka ben.
I'm grateful to you.
You're instrumental in uniting us.
Hey no...
it's all...
Thank you, mom.
And I love you.
Mom,
meet Kevin.
- Hi, aunty.
- We share our rooms.
Hello, aunty.
- Hello.
- He's always fooling around.
No, I don't.
He should focus on his studies.
And specially tell him to wake up early.
Come on, promise mom that
you'll wake up early from tomorrow.
No, Sandy.
- Sandy.
- Just one.
No, never. Stop, why are you smoking?
What do I do?
I have no one.
I had a mother, but she's gone too...
[CRYING]
Sandy.
[CRYING]
I'm always with you,
but my son can't be a druggie.
Please quit it.
What can I do?
I'm trapped in it.
I'm fighting it,
but the night won't pass without it.
I keep tossing and turning.
It's turned into a need for me.
Will you quit if you can sleep?
Answer me.
People dream while sleeping,
but now sleep itself feels like a dream.
This mom of yours will
make your dreams come true.
Come here.
Sleep on my lap. Come here.
Mom, you're being partial.
Meera.
You're up this late?
You're not asleep? Why, dear?
You haven't slept yet?
Feeling the work pressure,
so, I decided to come here...
Dad.
Mary.
What are you guys doing here at this hour?
But why are you still awake?
I couldn't find my charger, so...
Okay, let's go to bed.
Goodnight.
Dad.
Yes.
[SOBBING]
Dad.
I'm missing mom.
Yes, dad.
I miss her too.
[SOBBING]
I also miss Aashka.
Dad, please.
Just call mom once.
I want to speak to her, please.
Please ask her to come back.
[SOBBING]
We've come to realize that
everything she said was true.
Yes, mom was always right.
Let's bring her back at dawn break.
Can we, dad?
Please, dad.
Whenever she returns home,
it will be dawn.
[CRYING]
It's a sweet tale, a night of stars.
A delicate gift, this bond of ours.
The waves are gentle, and today I say.

Our bond is pure,
like a crown on my head.
We'll stay together.
We'll speak as one.
Like birds on a single branch,
we'll be as one.
We'll stay together.
We'll speak as one.
In love's colour,
we lose our own colour.
Like birds on a single branch,
we'll be as one.
Your hand upon my head,
no sorrow in sight.
Let love's river flow,
with you by my side.
In the burning heat,
become the cool shade.
And shower me with
love like rain that cascades.
No worries, no fear,
just a path of joy ahead.
We keep walking, smiling,
with love to spread.
We'll stay together.
We'll speak as one.
Like birds on a single branch,
we'll be as one.
We'll stay together.
We'll speak as one.
In love's colour,
we lose our own colour.
Like birds on a single branch,
we'll be as one.
Mom, I'm very sorry.
- I'm sorry.
- I'm very sorry.
I'm sorry.
[CRYING]
Mom,
you always told us granny used to say...
What was that proverb?
'There can be bad offspring,
but never bad parents.'
You've proved it today, Aashka.
I'm sorry Aashka.
It's our fault.
Now we realize the difference
between a house and a home.
Mom, you are great.
You were right all along.
There is a difference
between people and objects.
I learned it now.
Mom,
we can live without people,
but living without a mother is impossible.
[CRYING]
That's true, Aashka.
Whether she's from London or Limbdi,
speaks English or Gujarati,
'Ma, ' 'Mom, ' 'Mummy'
the word itself is the entire universe.
[CRYING]
Aashka.
After you left, we realized you
were the heartbeat of the house.
My mom used to add energy pills to my milk.
And you add herbal powder to my coffee.
Without you, we have hands,
feet, and a heart,
but no control over them.
[CRYING]
After you left,
this house became nothing but walls.
We've made a grave mistake.
Please come back, Aashka.
Please.
Mom,
we always said you
hadn't accomplished much,
but everything we've achieved
in life is because of you.
[CRYING]
Mom, when you stood at the door,
it felt burdensome.
But the day no one was there at the door,
I missed you more than ever.
[CRYING]
Son,
you might wonder
why Mom is behaving like this?
As you can't see her progress.
Mom turns a house into a home,
she takes care of it.
Mom isn't just about staying
at home and taking care;
Mom means caring for everyone at home.
She is mom.
[CRYING]
I took this step,
so that every child learns
to value their mother.
Aashka,
after you left,
we realized the true
value of your presence.
A mother is like a tree;
it's not her presence, but her absence
that makes us realize her worth.
[CRYING]
I love you, Aashka.
I love you, mom.
I love you, too.
Mom, let's go home.
Give me a promise.
Sure, what can I do?
I've registered you at the rehab.
You'll have to go.
Mom, that won't be needed.
One mother's loss was
healed by another mom.
[CRYING]
Thanks.
Take care.
Mom, without you...
I'm not going anywhere.
I'm just a phone call away.
Thanks, mom.
Mom and thanks in the same breath?
[CRYING]
- All the best for your exams.
- Thank you, mom.
You'll are always welcome at home.
As the home belongs to your mom.
- Sure, uncle.
- All the best.
Take good care of yourself.
Where did you go, leaving me by myself?
- We are here.
- We are here.
[LAUGHING]
Did you'll cook this?
- Yes, mom.
- Specially for you.
We've come to understand
that mom's magic lies
in knowing exactly what to
add to make everything just right.
I've realized that no app in
life can ever replace a mother.
Mom, you're so simple,
everything about you is
understood in an instant.
Honestly, we never had the
ability to truly understand you.
But now, we've come to understand you.
Yes.
When you would say,
'Mom, you won't understand,
'Forget it, mom, you won't understand'
I used to wonder why my
kids didn't understand me?
In life,
the mind helps us understand everything,
but only the heart can
truly understand a mother.
Mom created you; can the one
who creates not understand you?
Only when children look
through a mother's eyes
can they truly understand
the depth of love she gives.
And after that, they never say,
'Mom, you won't understand'.
Yes, mom. You are right.
It's a sweet tale, a night of stars.
A delicate gift, this bond of ours.
The waves are gentle, and today I say.
Our bond is pure,
like a crown on my head.
We'll stay together.
We'll speak as one.
Like birds on a single branch,
we'll be as one.
We'll stay together.
We'll speak as one.
In love's colour,
we lose our own colour.
Your hand upon my head,
no sorrow in sight.
Let love's river flow,
with you by my side.
In the burning heat,
become the cool shade.

love like rain that cascades.
No worries, no fear,
just a path of joy ahead.
We keep walking, smiling,
with love to spread.
