“Be original, Stay content”
“Let your heart be joyful”
“Sant Tukaram has said that, ”
“One has to be happy with whatever one has, ”
“If such a situation arises for The One (which is me), what should he do?”
“Something similar has happened to the Gharats this year, ”
Gajya, your third generation of artists has emerged,
You're right Appa,
I have Lord Ganesha's blessings,
Brother,,
,, what about the cost of Lord Ganesha's idol?
Let's ask him,
- Jeetu,, - Huh?
Where is Ketan?
He's driving here from Goa,
You know how bad the roads are,
It's not about the money,
Every idol is priceless,
This money is only for my craft,
Brother,,
,, we need to talk to Appa about the Ganesha festival,
Sharad, we're here to pick up the idol,
We'll talk about that later,
- Let's go, - Appa,,
,, you can take your Ganesha idol home!
Are the eyes to your liking?
Splendid!
Lord Ganesha, bless us! Glory to, Lord Ganesha!
Lord Ganesha, bless us! Bless us,,
No, the project launch is next week, Your deadline is Wednesday so get it done,
Ahilya,,
Are they on their way here?
Yes, they'll come soon,
No, get it done fast and call me back,
Sis-in-law!
- Where's the warm water? - Oh no!
You get the warm water and I'll go give this to Mai,
Such an attention seeker,,
Oh!
- Yes Neha? - Mom! We’re almost home,,
- Huh? - Yes,
- What are you saying? - We are almost home,,
- You have almost reached? - Yes mom!
I had told you to call me as soon as you left!
Thank God I was prepared,
- Hang up now! - Listen to me,,
- Oh no! - Mom?
- Kusum? - Yes Ahilya?
Is everything ready?
You've been decorating for hours!
It’s the Gharat household! There should be pomp and show!
Empty vessels make the loudest sound,
Kusum, Lord Ganesha cares about your faith and intention, not the decor!
Finish up and come outside,
Mai, here's everything you need for the ceremony,
Ahilya, what will the Gharat family do without you?
Let's go! Lord Ganesh is almost here!
Wow! That's amazing Deepali!
You've made a beautiful design,
It's better than Dubai's Burj Khalifa!
- It's true! - You’re lying,,
I haven’t seen something like this in Dubai,
Come on!
Ashok? Stop the flattery,
Can you check the firewood? The family is almost home,
I’ll be back,
Lord Ganesha, bless us!
Glory to, Lord Ganesha!
Come outside! Lord Ganesha is here!
- Have they? - Yes!
Lord Ganesha, bless us!
1,,2,,3,,4,, we will praise him much more!
Lord Ganesha, bless us!
Be careful!
Lord Ganesha, bless us!
Be careful,,
Jeetu!
Jeetu! Be careful,,
Lord Ganesha, bless us!
Glory to, Lord Ganesha!
Lord Ganesha, bless us!
Glory to, Lord Ganesha!
Ketan, your timing was perfect!
It's like he manifested, just like God,
Lord Ganesha, bless us!
Glory to, Lord Ganesha!
Who are you?
Who do you want to meet?
She's my friend from Delhi,
Kriti Ahuja,
She's here for the Lord Ganesha festivities!
Is it?
- Mom! - How are you my boy?
I missed you so much,
I missed you too Dad!
I know,, I know, I missed you too,
Since you live in Delhi, do you ever run into the Prime Minister?
Yes, very often! I ran into him today morning,
I asked him if he could join us for the festival,
And?
He said he's busy!
Why are you standing there? Come inside,
Oh!
Come in,,
Kriti, shoes,,
Ah! She's cultured,
Kriti, meet Appa and Mai,
- Greetings! - Stay blessed,
That's enough dear,
Your back will hurt if you greet everyone like this!
Is she your college friend Ketan?
No Appa, If she was a college friend I would have recognized her,
C'mon mom, you're talking as if you know all our college friends very well!
We became friends when I went to Delhi 3 years ago,
Yes, we've been BFF's since then!
Best Friends Forever,
Best is it? That's the best!
I'm his Aunt,
Ketan loves all of you very much,
I don't feel like I'm meeting you all for the first time,
Uhh,, Mai, how’s your knee recovering?
Mai, she's asking if your knee is recovering,
Ohh,,
Actually, she's not used to speaking in Hindi,
I'm used to talking in Hindi because I lived in Dubai for many years! So,,
- This is Ashok, my,, - Son-in-law?
Yes, he's my son-in-law,
Yes, cousin Deepali's husband,
Oh wow!
Isn't she amazing?
We're glad you're here but where will you stay?
Umm,, Kusum, you're alone in your room so can she,,
Not possible brother, The fan in my room is broken so,,
If you tap the fan with a stick, it’ll work!
No, it’s broken,
But, she must be used to the AC!
And there's an air cooler in Ahilya's room,
Why did you do this Ketan?
You got a random girl home without telling me?
Mom!
She understands Marathi very well,
I understand the language but I can't speak Marathi,
I'm learning,
Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean it that way,
No stress Aunty, it's okay,
I'm happy to adjust anywhere,
We'll manage something dear,
We can definitely arrange a room for you in this huge house,
You are absolutely right Appa!
A person's intention always matters,
So you're trying to say that, for Kriti's sake,,
,, you will sacrifice your room? That's awesome!
That's great! Ninaad understood what you meant!
- Ashok, that's very kind of you, - It's alright!
“You know the saying - Think twice before you speak?”
“I’m sure Ashok is thinking about it right now!”
“Anyway,, because Ashok offered his room, Kriti had a place in this house, ”
“But, Kriti’s entry into the house had confused everyone in the household”
Sharad, why did you suggest that she should stay here?
C'mon Ahilya, even you didn't know that he would bring a girl with him,
With this strategy, no one can stop you from becoming the Gharat family’s daughter-in-law,
- Daughter-in-law? - Hmm!
Where did that come from?
Let's go to the beach and eat unlimited non-veg food!
And we should celebrate the entry of Ketan's wife into this family!
I dutifully stalk my brother Ketan on Instagram!
That's why, I know all about your trip to Universal Studios in Singapore,
Hashtag, "feeling loved"!
Ketan, tell us the truth!
What’s going on between you and Kriti?
You have to tell us the truth!
Why are you assuming this?
C'mon man, don't turn this around!
Are you saying that you're not dating Kriti?
Is your family okay with this modern girl living with us for an entire week?
Uhh,, Aunty, let me take that,,
There's no need,,
Let me serve them!
- Some more? - No,,
- More of this? - No thanks,,
Sit down and eat with us dear, You're a guest,
It's okay Appa, I'll eat later with Deepali and Aunty,
And I enjoy serving food!
Hmm!
Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts!
What?
Nothing!
Only Aunt Kusum can explain what she said, isn't it Uncle Bhau?
Yes!
That's enough for me!
Hmm! It’s delicious!
I agree!
So?
Ahilya and Sharad, have you been planning Ketan's marriage?
Why are you asking them? My brother can find his own wife,
Uhh,, Of course we're looking for a bride,
Kriti,,
Do you know if Ketan is interested in anyone in Delhi?
Is he committed to anyone?
I know he won't commit to anyone without asking me first,
Absolutely, Ketan wouldn't do that,
Sis-in-law, have you spoken to the Jahagirdar family?
Did they send the girl's photo?
He said instead of sending photos, they would rather meet you during Ganesha festival,
Ganesha festival? That means they'll be here soon?
Yes!
OH MY GOD!
- What happened? - Are you okay?
I'm so sorry,,
Jeetu, are you okay?
Don't you like this shack?
[humming a romantic song]
Ketan, I want to know where and when you met Kriti,
During our first year in MBA, On the first day actually,
So, was it love at first sight?
No, not exactly! But I liked her at first sight,
And you got her to come all the way over here!
She wants to be with me,
She wants to spend every moment of our lives together,
It’s been 3 years, and now she knows me better than myself,
Fresh lime soda?
Jeetu, it's your favourite!
We didn't even order it,
Hmm,, Jeetu is a regular customer here!
- Is it? - Yes!
[humming a romantic song]
- Ohh,, I get it,, - Hmm!
I'm Ashna, the owner of this shack,
- Hi,, - How's the food?
Jeetu, say something!
Don't be over-smart!
Nice! I mean,,
Oh! Sorry,, I did that by mistake!
It’s alright!
But Ketan, I must say,,
I mean,,
,, to be honest, I'm scared to bring her home,
Let it be, Tell us about Kriti, What does she do?
She's an online yoga influencer, She's got many celebrity clients!
Really?
That's all great, but,,
,, does your mother know about this?
Did you have dinner?
Sorry that I’m unable to help around more,
Actually you are unable to,,
What?
I mean, you want to help but you're unable to,
Your career is your top priority,
I'm just glad that you manage to come here,
Doesn't seem like that,
I mean, no one seems to care how difficult it is for women,
Since four years, these two are just discussing with each other about reducing the festival to a day and a half,
But it's pointless,
I get you Ahilya,
I'm aware of how difficult it is to manage things,
And besides, even Bhau can't cope with the intense preparations,
But I'm glad you take the financial responsibility of it all,
But Bhau, how long can we go on like this?
Honestly, if the festival is shortened things will be sorted,
We'll save a lot of money,
Isn't it better for Jeetu's career too?
Yes,
Ahilya is right, Speak to Appa and Mai about this at the earliest,
Telling them is not as simple as getting a fruit from a tree,
Also, it’s the 124th year of our traditional Ganesha festival,
But Sharad, this needs to change,
Hmm,,
Bhau, let us speak to Appa, and they can speak to Mai,
We are okay with it,
Bhau, will you speak to them tomorrow?
Oh my God,,
This is beautiful!
Ketan,,
- I can hear,, - My heartbeat,,
- Right? - Yes,,
Sit,,
Sit,, sit,,
Now close your eyes,,
,, and try to listen carefully,
Your mind will give you a clear answer in this magical space,
Have you got a clear answer?
Many times since my childhood until now,
In fact, 3 years ago when I was sitting here, I realized that I'm in love with you,
Close your eyes and listen,
I'm feeling scared,
Ketan,,
,, your family is looking for a bride for you,
Today, I heard your mom and Aunt Kusum talk about it,
- There's a girl from Kolhapur,, - Kriti,,
My family has been looking for a bride since the last 2 years,
Then what am I doing here?
Kriti, they are my family, They mean well,
Over the next few days, the two of us have to prove to them that we are very happy together,
I love you Kriti,
I love you too,
You know what I want?
I want us to leave our hectic city life and move here,
You, me and your entire family,
All of them?
Won't that be suffocating for you?
Suffocating?
Ketan!
Do you see how beautiful the sky is?
There are unlimited stars in this vast sky,
Do you think the moon would be happy without all those stars around it?
Oh! Ketan!
- Shit,, shit,, shit - What happened?
- We are late!
It's 4 am!
You forgot about Mission Mai,,
Kriti wait, listen! Just one kiss?
Ketan, shut up! Let's go,
Everyday at 5 am, Mai prays to the Tulsi plant,
She will ask you,,
"What are you doing here dear?"
And you will say, "Mai, I always wake up early, "
Mai will be impressed by you right away,
She, , she's breathing,
Does she smell of alcohol?
What rubbish?
Girls from Delhi are very carefree,
Really? I don't think so Ashok,
She doesn't look like someone who drinks,
What nonsense is this?
Has someone tried to wake her up?
Or is everyone just assuming what's wrong?
Aunt, give me the water, I'll splash some on her,
No way! This is holy water,
- C'mon give it to me,, - No! I won't,,
- Okay fine,, - Do it,,
Come fast brother,,
Look, she's here,
See?
Kriti,,
Wake up,,
Good,,
Kriti, please wake up!
Is Mai here?
Mai? Why is she asking about her?
What are you doing here dear?
Are you okay?
No, actually she's used to waking up early to practice Yoga,
She wakes up at a specific time for it,
- It's called God's hour,, - That's right!
I told her that Mai wakes up at 5am to pray at this Tulsi plant,
Kriti, did you wake up early to give Mai company?
Try to remember!
- Isn't it? - Hmm!
Oh! So that's what happened!
A bad workman has excuses and always blames his tools!
Yes, usually Mai prays at the Tulsi plant but during Ganesha festival she has other duties too!
So I'm the one who prays on her behalf, You didn't know that!
Mai, Appa,, I'm here!
You’re here!
None of you are ready yet!
Let's go,,
That's great, Bhau!
So, this time Ketan will be eligible to pray as a couple!
Pundit, why are you declaring them a couple?
She's just my son's friend,
Even better!
A couple should be friends before marriage!
Don't forget to give me the sweet potato and milk for the ceremony,
“O reflection of the divine O supreme God of knowledge”
“I bow to you at once”
Hi guys! Today we won't talk about Yoga,
Today, let’s talk about the authentic Ganesha festival celebrated in Konkan region,
Because right now I'm in Konkan, That's right!
And this,,
,, this is Ketan's family! Say "Hi" everyone,
Hi,,
Now we'll go and see Ganesha's idol,
See?
The idol is so beautiful,
See?
What is she doing?
This is Ketan, who is praying right now,, Say hi!
Hi!
[reciting Sanskrit verses]
And this is Appa,,
[reciting Sanskrit verses]
- Pundit,, - Huh?
Can we continue?
[reciting Sanskrit verses]
And here's the most important person right now, the Pundit,
Kriti,,
Kriti, let's show your followers the kitchen,
Let's go and see where they cook the offerings for God,
Let's go,,
How many followers?
Do you have 1 million?
How do you know about 'followers' and 'views' Pundit?
You think I live on Mars just because I'm spiritual?
I have an account, so please follow me, I have a thousand subscribers!
Really? That's amazing!
This reminds me,,
,, Mai?
Here's 60 thousand, Please count it,
I'm giving it to you because I just remembered!
You shouldn't feel that I didn't give you money when you needed it,
To be honest, we've had this financial responsibility for years, Anyway,,
Guys, I'll be right back,
Mai, here's 60 thousand,
Bhau had asked for 50, but I insisted on giving more,
So she won't have to ask me again and again,
Sis-in-law, please count them,
And let me know if you need more,
Kriti, let's go inside,
Now join your hands and make a wish,
Bless us Lord Ganesha,
Okay guys, I'm back,
Imagine the delicious offerings cooked in this beautiful kitchen,
What happened?
The meaning of 'offerings' is different in Hindi and Marathi,
In Marathi this word has negative connotations!
- You know? - I see,,
You understood?
Yes!
That's great!
I understand Marathi now,
Oh! Look, they made momos!
They're not momos, they are sweets called 'Modak',
Add one cup of water, I'll have tea,
Okay,
Okay guys look at this, This looks so tempting!
These look so cute,
Mmm!
So tasty! They are not like momos,
They're made of rice flour, so they're healthy,
- Oh my God! - Kriti?
- Why did she insult me,, - That was,,
She always targets me,,
And now,,
The 'Modak' are still here?
You two are so irresponsible, I should take away your phones,
Sunanda, where is the holy food?
- The Pundit is asking,, - I was bringing it,,
Where's the one in the middle?
There should be 21,
Oh no,,
Is this a new tradition for you?
How can you be so careless?
I'll get it,,
Do you expect me to do everything?
Get the ghee bottle,
Now there are 21,
I'll be right there,
- I had counted them,, - Sunanda,,
Mai, I have the ghee bottle,
Kriti, how could you eat that 'Modak'?
It was a holy offering for God! Remember?
We're supposed to offer it to God first and then eat,
I didn't know that,
That's okay Kriti, But if you want to live here, you can't eat before God eats,
- Okay? - Okay,
Why would she live here?
Lord Ganesha, bless us!
"Lord Ganesha, we pray to you"
"O lord of compassion"
"May your presence in our homes protect us, O lord of obstacles"
"How can we express how happy we are"
"With full pomp and show, finally Lord Ganesha arrives at our home"
"Today the festival is truly celebrated, Lord Ganesha is here"
"With full pomp and show, finally Lord Ganesha arrives at our home"
"Today the festival is truly celebrated, Lord Ganesha is here"
"We are your disciples o Lord"
"Protect us, o Lord Ganesha"
"We have only one request to you"
"Bless us always o Lord Ganesha"
"O Lord Ganesha, the one who grants wishes"
"To your entire family, we salute you"
"World is rejoicing on your arrival"
"O lord Ganesha, we salute you"
"Come one come all, let's dance and sing together"
"Carefree and without any worries"
"With full pomp and show, finally Lord Ganesha arrives at our home"
"Today the festival is truly celebrated, Lord Ganesha is here"
"With full pomp and show, finally Lord Ganesha arrives at our home"
"Today the festival is truly celebrated, Lord Ganesha is here"
"Lord Ganesha has arrived home"
Lord Ganesha, bless us!
Glory to, Lord Ganesha!
- Make sure you go to everyone, - Yes,
Sharad, it went well,,
And don't forget the prasad,
Kriti,,
‘Prasad’,,
- I'll give it to everyone,, - You?
Sure,
Go on,,
Excuse me!
The Pundit is always first,
I'll be back,
- Here you go,, - No,
The sequence is wrong,
It's this one first?
Yes, this one,
Get your head out of that phone for a bit,
Go and distribute the holy food otherwise people will misunderstand,
Am I a child?
You never let me do what I want but always force me to do things I don't want to,
There's a ceremony going on, Stop arguing right now,
Here, take it,
If you both are done talking, Jeetu go and help her,
She's our guest so it doesn't look right,
Yes Mai, I'm going,
Give it to me,
Thank you,
Sorry you got scolded because of me,
It's okay, I'm used to it,
What do you want to do?
I want to start a Konkan tourism business,
Nice!
Greetings!
I always wanted to do something independently,
That's why I'm a yoga influencer now!
You're lucky,
You were born in Delhi and you have supportive parents,
When I asked for money to rent a small office, my father made a huge fuss,
You should dream big, but offline,
And you should fulfil your dreams online,
“So, even this year, the Gharat family has welcomed me into their home with full pomp and show!”
“But now, some members are desperate to send me away to my home sooner than usual, starting next year, ”
Bhau, mishaps are a part of life, We must find a way around it,
You know Appa, for Ganesha festival next year,,
- ,, what if we,, - Umm,, no,,
Not next year,
We need to fix the fence this year,
He’s right, The fence needs to be fixed immediately,
- Come I'll show you, - This way,,
What was that?
- Sunanda,, - Yes?
This is a list of things for tomorrow's ceremony,
- Okay? - Yes Mai,,
- I'll finish this and go,, - There's no hurry,
The fact is Mai, terms like, 'take your time' or 'no hurry' don’t exist in Mumbai,
Yes, it's very hectic for Ahilya,
It's not just hectic for me,
You are also working so hard,
I'm used to the hard work,
Hold on a minute,
This is a surprising wave of mutual respect!
You see how terrible the fence is?
There's no plantation without it's fence,
This needs to be fixed soon,
Otherwise the rest of the plantation will get affected,
I know it's expensive but this is unavoidable,
So you want to build a durable stone border?
I'll definitely send the money and you can build whatever you want,
Wait,,
I understand,
We expect too much from him,
We should understand him,
You always say that everything can be made possible with money,
Toss a coin and let me know what you’ve decided,
Mai,,
Please sit, I'll tell you,
The thing is,,
,, looking after everyone during the festival isn't as easy for us as it used to be,
It's getting more and more difficult for Sunanda, which is why we've decided that,,
What do you mean it's difficult for me?
Is that not true?
But why are you putting it all on me?
What do you mean? Be clear with me,
And why wait till next year?
You both should take a break from now,
I'm still around,
I'll manage,
Uhh,, Deepali, let's go,
We'll go and buy things for tomorrow's ceremony,
Uhh,, Mai, we'll go,
It's okay, Don’t do anything against your will,
Mai, it's not like that, We'll go,
- Let's go,, - Yes,
Appa, this is for you,
Wow!
'Bicycle' playing cards?
Yes! It's the oldest 'playing cards' company,
Sharad did you see what Kriti got for me?
Ah! Bicycle cards?
Appa?
Didn't Uncle Bapu have the same cards?
Yes, and he would never play 'Bridge' without them,
Uncle Bapu is,,
,, Appa's Uncle, okay?
Appa, give it to me,
I'm so happy that you liked my gift,
Ketan, did you see how she shuffled so smoothly?
My God! Have you worked at a club before?
C'mon Kusum!
My father taught me,
Back home we have a tradition to play poker during festivals,
Hmm,, that means you're a good player!
From now on we will play cards together,
Let's play something,
Okay, done!
When my mother stayed with us,,
,, we all would play poker together during Diwali,
My dad, mom and I would play together,
God loves some people a bit more than others,
So be it,
No Appa, my mother is alive,
My parents are divorced, That's why she doesn't live with us,
Ohh,, I see, My God,,
I thought she,,
A legal piece of paper cannot decide the bond between you and your family,
I was very young when my mother left us,
I was very lonely back then,
Now a days, I don't get a chance to meet her often,
Why?
Since Ketan and I started living together,,
- What happened? - Oh no,, Ketan,,
Ketan?
Are you okay? Are you hurt?
90 rupees,,
Sis-in-law only talks but she never takes action on her decisions,
You are right Ahilya,
You do everything so well!
You can even fire bullets keeping the gun on my shoulder,
Me?
- You think I can do that? - You already did it,
Hold this,
- How much is this for? - 25 rupees,,
I believe that you're simply blaming me so you don't have to take responsibility,
So basically I made a huge mistake by being on your side,
Everyone thinks I'm so busy with my work that I can't come here for the festival,
And hence, we should reduce the festivities,
But you told them that I'm unable to handle the stress of the preparations,
You know what? I don't want to argue about this,
Let's end the Ganesha festival altogether, Why do we bother?
Is that so? Then why can't you say this to Mai?
I'm going to tell her for sure,
- Fine, - Lets go,
What are you doing? Keep walking,
How could she say that?
We had decided that we would build you into a perfect image of a daughter-in-law,
What’s going on?
Sorry,,
If the glass hadn’t dropped, you would have blurted out everything,
I'll be more careful,
And your choice of clothes yesterday,,
,, everyone was feeling so awkward,
- You need to understand Kriti,, - One second,
Didn't you always say that I could pull off wearing anything?
What changed suddenly?
You've changed a lot after coming here,
Kriti, my family won't accept that we've been living together for 2 years and that your parents are divorced,
My parents are divorced,
But that doesn't bother you, does it?
Not at all,
Kriti, I just want you to be my wife soon,
Why are you sleeping here?
Aunt Kusum is sleeping inside,
And she's,,
Snoring!
- You mean she's snoring? - Yes,
I can't fall asleep but Neha has her headphones on,
Come inside with me,
My God!
The only time we create so much mess is during festivals,
I'll bring a mattress,
Why?
To sleep on!
Wait a second,
Here!
You and your shortcuts!
But I'm in awe of you! You are so independent,
Look at me,
From cooking to selecting a dress, I am dependent on someone else’s decision,
I guess that's womanhood,
Womanhood?
What do you mean?
Womanhood is,,
,, behaving like a woman,
Motherhood is the ultimate experience which defines womanhood,
I can’t wait,
I'm not a mother yet,
Is there any problem?
Not at all,
Then?
I'm just waiting for Lord Ganesha's blessings,,
Why don't you adopt?
- Adoption? - Yes,
But there's a big difference,
It won't be a part of me,
Even his mother Parvati, was not Lord Ganesha’s biological mother,
But everyone knows she's his mother,
Yes,,
Hey!
It's not that simple! There's a huge difference between a Goddess and me!
You’re so silly, Go to sleep!
Are you secretly smoking?
Look at me, Don't ignore me now,
Listen to me,,
Don't tell anyone,
Appa, why can't I? You know smoking is injurious,,
Is Mai okay with this?
Not at all, She thinks I quit 10 years ago,
Definitely don't tell her,
Otherwise she'll be very upset,
Now, I know a big secret of yours,
Hmm?
Just like how I know your secret!
What is my secret?
You’re here for Ketan isn't it? Your love for him got you here,
Or else why would you come to Konkan?
Appa, how did you find out?
I have seen way more life than you dear,
Appa, you won't share my secret with anyone right?
Why would I?
You keep my secret and I'll keep yours,
Deal!
Deal,
So?
How was yoga?
Along with Yoga, I've accomplished 'Mission Appa' too!
Wow! That's amazing!
Yes!
Now quickly go and get ready, We're going out,
We're going out?
- Ketan come fast! - Go get ready,,
"Hey girl,, "
"Come, let us tag our journey"
"Hey girl,, "
"Come, let us locate our relations"
"Hey girl,, "
"Come, let's make this trip hip"
"Hey girl,, "
"Come, let us strengthen this bond a bit"
"This over-excited group"
"Is out to make merry"

“While trying to create the perfect image, Kriti had made a false start, ”
“But this Delhi girl Kriti, wasn’t planning on giving up, ”
Juice!
Where did you get fruits?
I used the fruits kept as offerings for God, They would've rotted,
My God! Is that so?
Tell me the truth,,
What's going on between Ketan and her?
Will Ketan ever do anything without telling you?
He's a cute little mother's boy,
“A dutiful son Ketan, now found himself stuck in between Kriti and his mother, ”
Who asked you to do all this?
Listen, everyone drank the juice,
They liked it?
They loved it!
“To make 'Mission Gharat' successful, Kriti now had 2 aces, ”
“Neha and Appa, ”
Everyone agreed to do Yoga because of Appa,
Hmm!
Otherwise no one would have,
Ready? What's next?
Which yoga position are we going to try next?
Let's do the sleeping pose so we can sleep!
She's keeping us on our toes! Taking videos, doing yoga,,
She made some nice juice in the morning!
She's a smart girl,
Hmm! Very smart!
Why are you standing like that?
If I stretch this way and fold that way, then,,
- OUCH! - What happened?
My back,, my back!
Whenever I see you, you're on your phone,
You never work anyway, but at least pretend to do something in front of our guest,
What should I do now?
Don't talk back to me, I'm your father,
Yes, you are my father, so act like one,
Jeetu!
Jeetu?
Jeetu,,
I've started your page on social media "Konkan Tourism",
Jeetu I'm still talking to you, Where's your attention?
Dad,,
,, you always assumed I didn't do anything,
Look,,
,, I've started my own business,
I don't have to beg you for money anymore,
So now you're going to boast about money too?
Bhau Uncle, if Jeetu wants to do something on his own, you should support him,
Don't tell me what to do, okay?
- Talk to her properly,, - Properly?
Ketan,,
,, isn't she a guest? Ask her to behave like one,
Tell her she has no right to give me advice, I'm the eldest in this family,
Everyone wants to show off their wealth unnecessarily,,
He never listens to me,,
What Bhau Uncle said wasn't right,
I know, but,,
But what? You should have said something,
I don't want us to fight about this,
He's my uncle,
How can I argue with him?
You're not understanding, Jeetu needs our support,
Kriti please,,
Stop this topic,
Appa, I don't know why,,
I want to win everyone over but I'm messing everything up,
There's no need to say anything to Lord Ganesha,
He solves everything eventually,
Don't be disheartened,
Let's go,,
,, and play cards?
On one condition,
Poker!
Delhi style!
Let's begin!
- Very good! - I raise you 40,
Go ahead,,
I raise,,
- 60! - That's great Appa!
Give me your hand,
Not my arm!
Touch the cards silly!
There you go! I've got my lady's luck!
Everything will look beautiful when Gauri arrives,,
What is this?
Poker?
Don’t you have any shame, gambling in front of Lord Ganesha?
Who started this?
Mai, at my house,,
[indistinct chatter]
Bhau Uncle, I'm sorry,
It's okay,
It's already forgotten,
Jeetu should get the freedom to do whatever he wants in order to be successful,
That's enough, Don't give me advice,
Dad!
Is this the way to talk to a guest?
If she's a guest, ask her to behave like one,
What happened Bhau?
No one in this family understood me,
But she did,
She showed confidence in me that I could do something on my own if I wanted to,
No one would even care about me even if I stayed unhappy forever,
I'll slap you Jeetu,
You think we're poisoning your dreams?
Jeetu? How can you talk this way?
How can you talk back to your parents in front of everyone?
I'm talking to my son,
How dare you tell him what's right and wrong?
Do you know what Ketan has been doing?
Sis-in-law,,
Sunanda and Ahilya, stop this, What is going on?
Appa, why should I stop?
I have struggled enough,
What struggles?
Do you even know what struggling is?
Come to Mumbai and work, Then you'll know what hard work is,
What's the big deal? We do the same things here, We work hard in the sun all day,
You come here on vacation for a few days, I've built this house with my own hands,
That's enough Bhau, Don't exaggerate things,
The paint on these walls, and this new roof came from my money,
Maintaining the plantation isn't always enough,
- That takes efforts,, - Bhau,, please,,
Let it be brother,,
You always interrupt,
Uhh,, please stop fighting, Please,,
Hmm,,
As the younger ones take the reigns, the older ones become restless,
Tell us what you're going to do about her,
What do you mean?
Aunty, why are you trying to create trouble?
Trouble?
Let your mother find out exactly what you've been up to,
Everyone always gangs up on my Jeetu,
Aunty, we don't,,
Both of us are capable of taking care of Ketan,
You don't have to worry,
How can that be? We deserve to know,
What's going on between you both?
Why are you asking him? There's nothing going on between them,
How's that possible? Her behaviour says otherwise,
Bhau, don't get involved in this,
Brother, say it,,
Why are you quiet now? Speak up!
Ketan, don’t have to say anything, Just keep quiet,
[everyone shouting]
- Brother,, - Ketan, Kriti, say something?
Yes,
I'm in love with Ketan and I want to marry him,
There you go,
And she has the nerve to tell us how to raise our kids,
Appa,,
Mai,,
I wanted to tell everyone,,
Enough!
Are you going to stay quiet even now?
I can't believe what I'm hearing,
Say what we came here to say and let's leave,
You can happily leave if you want,
But, you better talk about what we decided,
What are you going to tell us?
Ask them,
Aren't they your favourites?
You didn’t feel ashamed to ask me for a job for Jeetu, But you're ashamed now?
Anyway, no one cares if we come here or not,
The only thing everyone cares about is the money we bring,
What?
You had to take money from me to fix Appa's spectacles,,
SHARAD!
Shut up!
You think I'm desperate for your money?
We need money to run things here,,
I know you need money to run this place but, I'm not a money plant,
Enough of this, Tell Appa what we discussed,
Tell Appa and Mai,
What is going on?
What's wrong brothers?
- What is going on? - You tell them,,
Why should we tell them? You go ahead,
Enough is enough,
If there is so much animosity, let's cancel the Ganesha festival altogether,
What?
And definitely not for 7 days,
From next year, we'll celebrate only for a day and a half,
We'll come here, celebrate, fake laugh and leave the next day,
The festival will only be for a day and a half?
What?
The Gharat family’s Ganesha festival just for a day and a half?
Yes Mai,
It’s a unanimous decision,
Who all?
Hang on mom, No one has asked us,,
You keep quiet and sit down,
Enough from you, I'll deal with you when we get home,
This can't happen mom, Isn't this our home too?
And I'm not okay with this idea of a day and a half Ganesha festival,
Me neither,
We come here to meet our cousins,
I don't want a one and a half day festival, We need 7 days,
Has anyone asked you Ninaad?
If you want to celebrate so badly why don't you invite your father? He's not been here in years,
Why are you bringing him into this?
Are the problems we have not enough?
Wait Ninaad, don't talk,
Sis-in-law, so far I've never spoken out of turn,
But all of you are crossing the limit now,
I'm the daughter of this household, My opinion about the duration of the festival means more than your's,
And I'm not okay with a day and a half festival,
You're not?
Fine,
From next year you can host the festival at your house,
Brother?
Sharad,,
The elders are fighting?
What is this? I've seen the world but I've never seen such a family,
Why don't you host the festival next year? We all know you need the blessings,,
Aunty!
Everything can't be said so casually,
How can you talk to him this way?
Deepali, wait,
Wait, let her finish,
I'll see if we want to host next year,
But, I am not sure about coming back here next year,
Don't take what they say personally, They don't own this house,
You aren't the owners either,
I know I'm not but,,
I know but I paid for everything,,
Sharad, please stop,,
[painting] Mahabharata - The Great Family War
Janaki?
Did you ever think we would face such a situation?
They think the Ganesha festival is just another responsibility,
But for us it’s a celebration,
Lord Ganesha, bless us!
Come back sooner next year,,
Whenever I hear these words, I wonder,,
,, if I'll be around for next year's festival,
I often wonder while seeing the setting sun if the two of us will be alive to see it the next day as well,
I might not have told you this,,
,, but when everyone is together,,
,, I spend,,
,, every second with them, thinking it's the last time,
And,,
,, they want to cut short the festival,
What will we do?
Jayantrao,,
Don't lose hope,
Even if our situation has changed,,
,, we're still the strongest pillars of this family,
Don't forget that,
We can teach our children our traditions,,
,, but we can't assume that,,
,, they will follow them forever,
If I pass away before you, please don't burden them with this responsibility,
Kriti, it wasn’t your fault,
It’s my family’s problem,
Sharad, we’ve always taken our parent’s advice even for the smallest of things,
And today you suddenly dropped your decision on them,
Do you have any idea how badly it’s affected them?
Sharad and Ahilya must be at peace,
We will have to be answerable to everyone,
And what are we supposed to say to the villagers and relatives?
The villagers are fond of Appa and Mai,
Bhau?
Sit with us Mai,,
Look at me Bhau,
You've not done anything wrong by speaking your mind,
Look at me?
Huh?
You all have decided to reduce the Gharat family's Ganesha festival to a day and a half,
So next year, we won't be able to celebrate fully,
I wish to host a feast for the entire village this time,
A village feast?
But will Sharad help us financially?
,, the expense would be around 3 lac rupees,
Will you handle it?
I don't want to ask Sharad for the money,
If this is difficult for you, tell me right now,
No Mai, don't worry,
I'll arrange the money,
Sure?
Yes,
I’ll leave now,
In the end, whatever the reason is, everyone suffers,
I don't want to be the reason why your family breaks,
It’ll be better if I leave,
I understand but you can't blame yourself,
Because, this really didn't happen because of you,
Deepali, you're saying this? Your parents are also hurt because of me,
Yes, but why did it happen?
Because you gave my brother a business idea,
You know, I always thought that,,
,, I should fully support Jeetu's decision, but,,
,, I would lose confidence in front of my father,
But now I have decided,,
,, that I'll always support you,
And that is why I'm with Kriti,
I'm also with Kriti,
I'm in love with Kriti!
Really?
Then say it in front of everyone,
He will definitely support you in front of them,
Listen, preparations for Gauri's arrival will start tomorrow,
Gauri?
Who is Gauri?
Is she related to you?
Oh no!
Tell her,
Gauri is Lord Ganesha's mother,
Supposedly we bring Lord Ganesha's idol to his Uncle's home,
The mythology is, after Lord Ganesha's stay is fulfilled, his mother Goddess Gauri comes to take him home,
That's why this festival is also known as,,
,, the festival of Goddess Gauri and Lord Ganesha,
Get ready for tomorrow and wear this ‘paithani’,
‘Paithani’?
This is so pretty!
This is not a normal sari,
I'd worn the same sari at my first festival post marriage,
Oh?
My mother gave it to me, You know how she got it?
Mai gave it to her,
Mai?
So, this Sari is very special!
Bless us!
Ashok, let's go to get the Gauri idol,
I'm ready but Deepali needs help with draping her Sari,
- Is it? - Yes,
You're draping it?
Which of these should I drape the idol with?
It's the last time we'll dress the idol so I want the best Sari for her,
Yes,, Mai, the Gauri idol will look beautiful in this one,
This one?
And, have you decided about the village feast? We have to invite people,
Go ahead and invite everyone,
Bhau said he will arrange the money,
- Sharad? - Hmm?
You're coming to get the idol?
Isn't Ahilya coming?
Besides, I have nothing to do there,
- I'll be back,, - Bhau?
You're coming with me?
If I go with you, who will make arrangements for the feast?
Please handle it,
I see,, Sister-in-law?
Will you come?
I'm ready but just the two of us?
What about the rest?
Okay, I’ll see,
Let's go and get Gauri's idol,
We're waiting for Kriti,
Is that so? Where's Kriti?
Let's go, Has Gauri arrived?
Yes,
There she is,
"Sliver lined cloth,, draped gracefully"
"Fragrant flowers,, decorating the hair"
"Sliver lined cloth,, draped gracefully"
"Fragrant flowers,, decorating the hair"
"Mischievous eyes, a stylish nose ring"
"Kohl lined eyes, a deep bright gaze"
"Innocent smile,, flirtatious yet childlike"
"Beautiful like a soft moonbeam"
"Fragrance of musk,, wafting in the air"
"In my house today"
"She's arrived,, The most loved"
"My dearest Gauri"
"She smiled"
"She blossomed"
"Like a fragrant Jasmine flower"
"Moon shine glows on blushing cheeks"
"Unspoken words through your gaze, I discovered a new meaning"
"The daughter of Earth is home, Let us welcome her and worship her"
"Let us decorate Gauri with flowers and leaves"
"And sing prayers in her praise"
"Twinkling stars,, Fiery lightening"
"Your aura is bright,, it ignites my mind"
"Decked up,, dressed up,, making me crazy"
"You are like a dream come true"
"She's arrived,, the most loved, my dearest Gauri"
"She smiled,, She blossomed"
"Like a fragrant Jasmine flower"
Let me go,
I didn't hold your hand to leave it,
"She's arrived,, The most loved"
"My dearest Gauri,, "
"She smiled,, She blossomed"
"My dearest Gauri,, "
And you know,,
,, in my husband's village, if a family wants to stop celebrating this festival they tell people,,
What?
The legend is, a tiger whisked away the Gauri idol!
Wow! Is that so?
There are so many interesting stories in our Indian culture,
But these aren't just stories,
There's always a thought behind it,
Lord Rama set an example of manhood through his life,
And Sita (his wife) showed what womanhood is by sacrificing a lot,
But people misunderstand what it means,
Womanhood? Mai, what is womanhood exactly?
Kriti, didn't we talk about this the other day?
Motherhood is womanhood,
A man and woman are the same, Womanhood is wanting to fight for equality,
I don't agree, A woman's life revolves around her family,
I really think womanhood is having to deal with problematic in-laws,
Hey! That's not true,
Don’t women have their own identity?
And Mai, is raising children solely the mother's job?
Even a father can teach a child that they should wash their mug after drinking from it,
Honestly speaking, your definitions of womanhood are wrong,
Seems like you live to serve your husband, parents, in-laws, children, etc,,
Are we only meant for that?
Isn't it important to prioritize ourselves?
Before Lord Ganesha gets busy with his mother,,
,, we should go and make our wish!
Lord Ganesha,,
Goddess Gauri,,
Doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or girl,
We just want a healthy baby,
Please make Deepali's efforts successful,
What? I'm not alone in this!
But you'll be the one getting pregnant,
Ah! I get it now,
O Lord, please bless us,
Oh my God!
Bless you!
Kriti!
What's going to be the baby's name?
The name,, uhh,,
Cousin Deepali, if you shy away like this, you won't have a baby!
Kriti, how will that lamp burn without oil?
Add some oil into the lamp,
Be careful,,
- Nice! - Hmm!
Oh no!
What happened?
The oil,,
Oh! So sorry,,
,, I'll wash it right away,
How will this oil stain come off a silk sari?
Uhh,, I'll dry-clean it,
Kriti?
You'll dry-clean it?
The stain might go away,
But, don't you know how to protect an heirloom?
Mom, why are you getting angry?
Aunty, I'm really sorry, I'll buy a new sari,
This!
This is the difference between Delhi and Marathi girls,
People from Delhi think everything has a price tag,
She has no idea about our culture and traditions,
Why did you give her this sari?
Tell me Deepali?
And Neha?
Aunty,, I really didn't do this on purpose, It's a mistake and,,
There has been a mistake,
But not yours, it's Ketan's,
Ahilya vahini, don't be upset, What's the matter?
Be calm,
Mai, why do you suddenly have a soft corner for her?
You had given me this sari to wear for my first Ganesha festival after I got married,
Then, why did you give this specific sari to her?
Mom, listen to me,,
Ketan, you keep quiet, Don't say a word!
No one taught her manners because her parents are divorced,
How will she understand the value of relations?
To understand how the world works, one needs their mother’s guidance,
Enough Aunty!
What do you know about my mother?
At least people from Delhi are polite,
We know how to talk to our elders,
Kriti please,,
What please Ketan? What please?
What do you want?
You want me to keep quiet while your family continues to disrespect me and my family?
Why?
No!
I'm not going to compromise my self-respect to be with you,
Hey,, please wait,,
I've realized,,
,, that you don't want to face your problems and hurdles,
You don't have to take my side,
You can stay a mother's boy,
Mother's boy?
Stop Kriti,
Mother's boy?
Why am I a mother's boy?
Because I didn't fight with her in front of everyone?
Kriti, I came here to talk to you even tough it was your fault,
Things will escalate if I talk to my mother, We can solve things together,
We love each other Kriti,
Love?
Do you?
Ketan, Kriti is leaving, I've told her there’s no car available to drop her to the airport,
But please, do something about this,
I tried,
But once she decides to do something she goes through with it,
She wants to go,
Let her go,
You're making a mistake,
You're making the same mistake I made,
You think she's angry, but that's not true,
She's scared,
Because the man she travelled miles for,,
,, is the same man who's not standing by her in front of his family,
You're very lucky,
The girl who loves you came here all the way from Delhi,
And look at Aashna,
We live in the same town but she wants me to fight my own battles,
But please, stop her,
Please Ketan,
“O Lord Ganesha, we are your humble followers”
“Please protect us, O wise one”
“We bow down to you and ask for only one thing”
“Please bless us, Lord Ganesha”
Mai,,
,, I'm going back to Delhi,
I'm sorry for whatever happened,
Let it be, Have some breakfast,
No Deepali, I just came to say goodbye,
Kriti, I won't force you but, don't leave on an empty stomach,
Have some tea,
Aunty,,
I'm leaving,
- Sorry for everything that I,, - Ohh,,
Have a safe flight,
Jeetu, I've already paid online,
Congratulations and all the best,
I didn't want my first order to be for this reason,
C'mon Jeetu, it's business,
You can't mix business with emotions,
Kusum, get some curd,
Why? It's not like she's coming back,
Fine, I'll get it,
Deepali and Neha, what are you doing?
Stop this, Let her go,
Kriti,,
You go safely,
- Oh my God!!
Mai??
Jeetu let's go fast,,
Go faster,,
Mai??
Mai?
- Jeetu? - Mai?
- Mai,, - Ketan,, Jeetu,,
- What happened? - Is she okay?
- Make her sit up,, - Mai,,
What happened?
Oh my God! What happened Mai?
Please see what's wrong with her,,
Mai,, Mai,,
Mai??
Brother, call the doctor,
Jeetu, give me your phone,
I don't have my phone with me,
Don't you always have a phone with you,,
Bhau, take my phone,
Mai?
Mai,, one second,
One minute,,
Mai, Mai,, Move over,
Everyone take a step back,
Mai,,
Her blood sugar is low, Ninaad, give me some water with sugar,
Please move away from her,
Jeetu, switch on the fan,
My father suffers from low sugar too,
- Mai? - Mai,,
Quickly,,
- Be careful,, - One second,,
Mai?
Drink this,
Mai?
Appa, don't worry, she's fine,
Come this way Mai,,
- Be careful,, - Are you hurt Mai?
- Want to sit here? - No, in the room,
Be careful Mai,
Will she be okay?
She is alright,
Will she be okay by morning?
Mai,,
Mai, be careful,,
- I’m totally fine,, - Are you sure?
Appa, don’t worry,
Everything is normal, You're fine,
Doctor, should we do any tests?
No need Sharad, Mai is perfectly fine,
Low blood sugar is common at her age,
Doctor, can you write any medicine incase this happens again?
Mai's medicine is her loving family,
And she's here to take care of Mai,
I'll leave now, Mai take care of yourself,
Alright then, let's get back to the preparations,
You can't be serious,
Don't worry about me, I'm okay,
Prepare for the feast!
This year, our festival should be very joyous for our Gods Ganesha and Gauri,
And very memorable,
What is this Ketan?
Thank you,
Ketan, you really need to grow up,
Kriti,,
I can understand your anger,
But please believe me, I'm going to fix everything,
There will be magic Kriti,
Ketan, life doesn't always need magic,
What we need are consistent efforts,
- I’ll send the rest home, - 640 rupees,, hmm?
- Ninaad, take it, - Yes,
Appa,,
- Greetings! - Greetings,,
Appa, I've come to know that,,
,, from next year you will host the festival only for a day and a half?
I understand that it's your personal matter,,
,, but most people haven't fulfilled their vows yet,
This decision was taken by my children,
Stop,, stop right there,
- Ninaad? - Yes?
- Come, - Coming,,
They only value us for our labor,
Neha, the only time I hear the family talk is during this festival,
Otherwise everyone is just silent,
But what's the point of saying this here?
Do you understand anything?
To be honest, aren't we the next generation? I personally want a 7 day festival,
All 7 days,
Bro,,
,, we need to change their decision no matter what,
Look, cousins Jeetu and Ketan should speak up,
- Give it, - Yes,,
See? They're not even saying anything,
Let it be, You guys are good for nothing,
Do it yourself,
- Neha,, - Lazy,
Give it,
Brother, you need to speak up,
We want a longer festival,
Bro, do some magic, please!
Not magic,,
,, we need efforts,
- Mai, like this? - Hmm,,
The 'Modak' you made look so beautiful,
Practice makes perfect! You will also get it,
Mai, will you get angry if I tell you something?
What have you done now?
No,, I've not done anything,
Remember on the first day of the festival when you noticed a missing 'Modak'?
Hmm,,
,, umm,,
Sorry,, sorry,,
Mai I didn't know it's holy food, The 'modak' were looking to tempting!
I couldn't control myself,
You can yell at me if you're angry right now,
If I had found out that day, I would have been angry, But, I like your honesty,
I'm proud of you,
I'm happy that the future daughter in law of this family ate the first ‘modak’,
Thank you Mai,
It's so strange,,
,, that I'm learning to make the same 'modak' that almost got me into trouble,
Why are you doing this?
What made you want to fake your illness so I would stay back?
How do you know that?
I knew it when I saw the smile on your face when you were leaning on me and Ketan!
If you knew this then why did you stay back?
Mai,,
I had come here to win everyone's heart and be your grand-daughter-in-law,
But now I'm staying so that this family stays together,
I can't see another family breaking,
Mai, I think real womanhood is when we keep the family knitted together,
Right?
There must be a way to keep the family together and celebrate the festival whole heartedly,
Oh really? Why should I be the dramatic one?
You want to be my grand-daughter-in-law?
You will have to do some drama too!
Why don't you come up with an idea?
Mai!
Do it properly!
You can't make 'modak' without hard work,
A 'modak' made by my newest family member,
Stir it properly,
- My God! - Take this,
Here's the fish!
Jeetu, who is going to clean all this fish?
Aunty, how do I know?
You wanted me to get the fish, Now you can decide who gets to cut it,
You're here?
Ketan?
Who is she?
She's Aashna,
She's here to help with cooking,
But can you tell me who she is?
She's,, umm,, my,,
,, partner,
- Partner? - Huh?
She's a good cooking partner!
You just have to guide her, She is a fast learner,
Will she really be able to do it?
Mom, she will be able to! She has lived here,,
Wait a minute, Let her talk!
You have to clean the fish, Can you do it?
Yes, I can clean the fish,
My God!
She replied in Marathi!
Marathi!
See?
If she could learn our language, couldn't she learn to cut the fish?
Ketan, I know she said she can do it but she has to marinate the fish too!
Yes, I can make good marinade,
I've made it before,
I own a shack on the beach, I can cook fish fry, fish curry, steamed fish, and lots more!
Wow! That's fantastic!
If you live in Konkan, you are great at celebrating festivals and you can cook great fish!
- So true! - Absolutely correct!
Now that she's here, go and help her out!
Mai? What are you doing here?
The doctor has asked you to rest,
Sit over here,
Tell me why you wanted to see me,
I need a favour,
What is it?
Bhau has gone to prepare for the feast,
Due to the festival, there are no workers in the village,
Water is clogged in the plantation, Go there and fix it,
All that clogged water needs to flow away,
Hmm,,
- Can you do it? - Hmm?
Tell me if you can't do it,
I'll do it,
Don't worry and take rest,
Brother-in-law, that's not mine!
Some people have a habit of collecting them,
Do you think you are one of them?
No brother,,
I'm not going to listen to you, Stand in the middle,
- Let everyone know,, - No please,,
Why are you being shy? Come and stand here,
What is going on? Why are you shouting Ashok?
Let it go please,,
How can I let it go? Let everyone know what you do,
Let me show them!
Ninaad, what is going on exactly?
Let me show you,
Here is the lighter, Can everyone see?
He takes it, lights it and smokes all over the village ruining the Gharat family name,
Who are you talking about?
Your son,
I found this lighter in Ninaad's pocket,
Uhh,,
Uhh,, umm,,
Ninaad, I'm going to thrash you,
[everyone shouting]
This is my lighter,
It's mine, I've been looking everywhere for it, Thank you,
See?
Look at that Aunty! I didn't think your daughter-in-law would do this,
Ashok!
For the last time, she's not going to be my daughter-in-law, Don't make me repeat this,
And learn to investigate better before accusing someone,
Exactly! You wrongly accused my son,
The thing is, girls from Delhi want to act like men,
They smoke and wear small clothes,,
Brother-in-law!
This is normal for today's generation but Kriti is not like that,
She has more followers online who learn yoga from her than the number of followers the two of us have combined,
Just because she's got lighter, it doesn't mean that she smokes,
She uses it to burn incenses and candles while practicing yoga,
Every time you see smoke, it doesn't mean there's a raging fire,
Smoke comes from cooking as well as a pyre,
I wanted to borrow money,
How much?
Around 3 lac rupees,
I can't arrange it right now,
Can you do something? The bank also rejected me,
Bhau, I would have if it was up to me,
Why would I not want to help you?
Uhh Bhau, this year for Ganesha festival,,
We'll handle it,
You won’t celebrate next,,
You can't lend me money?
It’s not upto me,
I'll leave then,
Uncle?
Oh! Kriti,,
You know how to work in the plantation?
I was born here!
I spent my entire childhood here so obviously I know things,
Yes, but you're not probably not used to it anymore,
Don't you ever feel like living here forever in peace?
It's okay for a couple of days,
But living here permanently,,
,, is impossible,
It's difficult,
Uncle, aren't you supposed to lift the log? Why are you using stones?
You want to learn? It's quite simple,
- Come here, - Uhh,, okay!
Come on,,
Place that stone over there,
Under it,
Yes, correct!
Now, another one behind it,
You know when I was a kid, I would sweep this entire area!
And I never let this get clogged,
During monsoons, I would get into the mud and work hard,
That means Appa trained you well!
Not Appa, it was Bhau,
Really? Bhau Uncle?
He taught me how to farm, cycling, jumping and swimming in the well! He was strict but effective,
That really helped me when I went to Mumbai,
And then my Mumbai life began,
That's amazing!
Okay, we need to finish this now,
- Get that stone over there, - Okay,
Put it there,
- Like this? - Yes,
And now,,
Put this,,
,, over here,
And this one goes here,
- We have to push this? - Yes, push it now,,
1,,2,,3!
Oh!
Finally! Good job!
So, Bhau Uncle is your teacher,
Absolutely!
Can I say something Uncle?
Your teacher is roaming around worried,
He's trying to arrange money for the village feast,
Maybe your teacher needs your help today more than ever,
Bhau,,
,, here's your hot tea!
Bhau?
I've heard that your family is hosting a village feast this year!
Is it true?
Bhau,,
Bhau, I've been trying to call you since hours,
Look Mr, Manager, your bank rejected my loan application,
Why are you here to see me?
Bhau, 3 lac rupees just got deposited in your account,
Let's go!
3 lac?
Bhau?
Why are you smiling?
I remembered the younger version of you,,
,, who was obsessed with playing in mud,
I worked hard for a whole hour,
My back is hurting!
It's very difficult,
Managing this plantation must be difficult,
Thank God you're here,
Don't say that Sharad,
The body slowly gets used to the hard work,
But, you've always been selfless when it came to lending us money,
That's why I could develop the plantation like this,
I never had the money to support this,
And I never earned enough money,
Because I've always found that the hardest,
Bhau,,
,, the two of have successfully lived our lives in our own way,
We've done a lot for each other,
That's the joy Sharad!
Let’s go,,
- Bhau? - Huh?
Are you seeing what I'm seeing?
Yes!
But are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- No,, no,, - Why not?
Mumbai has turned you into an old man!
- Lets jump in! - Jump!
They look like divine brothers,
Just like old times,
Both of you go and get changed, People are arriving,
Yes,, let’s go,
[reciting Sanskrit prayer]
Please begin your meal,
Please start,,
Eat well!
How are you Khot?
Have this!
- How are you? - Good!
- Greetings Mai! - Greetings!
How’s your health?
Perfectly fine!
[indistinct chatter]
Jeetu arranged the fish!
No, she’s just my friend,
Eat well everyone,,
Eat well!
All of this is so nice and interesting,
All our traditions are nice and wonderful,
They give us a reason to live,
How are you Ketan?
I'm well! How are you?
Very well!
Even in mythology,,
,, it's written that,,
,, a woman comes before man,
That's why I've spent my entire life obeying Mai,
I wish everyone understood this,
When roles are reversed, things get difficult,
Just like Sharad and Bhau,
- Bhau come here,, - Ah! Yes,,
One isn’t enough! Serve some more!
Go on!
Your plan worked well,
[indistinct chatter]
Who knows how long I’ll be around with my wonderful family,
Everything is going well!
I didn't want that to be the only reason for this village feast,
I'll be back,
Mai?
Kriti,,
If today's feast was a celebration of the union of you and Ketan, I would have happily passed away next year,
Appa, you shouldn't say that,
Can I say something Appa?
You can still have a grand-daughter-in-law,
But she won't be from Delhi,
She's from Assam,
Ohh! Is that so?
You're thinking about their union,,
,, but haven't you noticed Ketan trying to catch your eye from there?
- I wanted the pickle, - I'll get it,
Haven't you noticed him?
I have,
But, let him also suffer a bit,
Also? I see,,
What's going on here? Huh?
The King is busy making plans, while the soldiers chit-chat!
Uhh,, what do you mean?
It means,,
,, let it be! Take this,
Go and serve this pickle,
Okay Aunty, I'll serve them,
- Correct? - Yes!
- Bless us! - Bless us!
Serve Mr, Khot first!
Yes,, I'll do it,
Thank God you got the pickle, dear,
I told Ketan a few times that I wanted the pickle,
But he got everything other than the pickle,
Khot, he's not used to it anymore,
Wait till he gets married!
Appa,,
,, Kriti and Ketan should get married right?
Yes, but who will convince his mother?
Ahilya is obsessed with the family from Kolhapur,
No,, I've called and told them not to come here,
I told them my nephew is taken!
That's amazing Kusum!
Eat this, You must be hungry,
Sure,
It's been so tiring, I already took my medicine,
Have some please,,
Okay!
Mmm!
Wow!
Amazing!
Only two people should make 'modak', my mother and Mai!
Both of you are wrong!
Even I assumed Mai made the 'modak',
But Kriti has made these!
Really?
This is quite amazing!
What are you talking about Ashok?
Do you see how thick the lining is?
Not anyone can make 'modak',
Mom, what nonsense is this?
Why are you behaving this way?
How can everything related to Kriti be bad?
Everyone is looking here,
Is this the way to talk?
What's your problem exactly?
Don't act smart,
Mom, I need an answer from you,
Have a good meal, don't rush,
Sharad?
I need answers mom,,
This is getting pathetic,
How could you speak that way in front of everyone?
- Huh? - Mom,,
The problem isn't my tone, it's what I said to you,
Is this how you treat your parents?
Dad,,
Is this how you treat your kids?
So far, you've provided us with materialistic things,
But you couldn't spare time to see us grow up,
You've learnt some new things in Delhi, isn't it?
Neha you were right,
Mom can't take it when we're frank with her,
But I will have to be frank today,
Because if I don't talk,,
,, I'll also end up like Jeetu and Aashna,
Ketan?
Dad, mom,, I want to marry Kriti with your permission,
I could have married her without asking you,
I'm begging you mother,
Ketan, I know what's best for you,
Which is why I'm personally looking for a girl for marriage,
Uncle Bhau found a husband for Aunt Kusum,
Today, she doesn't have a husband nor can she call this place her home,
Can we please take our own decisions?
Please don't force your views on us,
Please think about what I'm saying mom, I know you love your Ketan,
Dad, I'm requesting you,
Don't assume everyone agrees with you,
Are you listening Sharad?
He is unable to listen to a single word spoken against that girl,
He is willing to go against my wishes for her?
Mom, what is your problem exactly?
The fact that Ketan wants to marry Kriti? Or that he made that decision without asking you?
NEHA! You're crossing your limit now,
You work so hard for us but you never ask us our opinion,
The older generation is old, and the new one is stupid, Isn't it?
The decision you took regarding reducing the festival from 7 days to a day and a half is not acceptable to any of us,
We're losing members of the family because of this,
And if Ketan and Kriti can't get married,,
,, you will lose us too,
What rubbish is she talking?
Sharad, this next generation is absolutely idiotic,
They are not stupid,
They're smart,
This new generation is questioning us Ahilya,
And we have to give them answers,
In the process of proving that I'm a great father,,
,, I forgot to become a decent one,
We were busy trying to give them whatever they needed but we never really asked them what they wanted,
It's true,
I couldn't be a friend to my kids,
Neha,,
Neha thinks we're losing our family because of this festival,
To be honest,,
,, when we moved to Mumbai and started running after our dreams,,
,, we had already lost everyone,
"I'm stuck,, "
"My heart has fallen for you,, The night is never ending"
"I'm stuck,, "
"My heart has fallen for you,, The night is never ending"
"Don’t know why she's stuck at the threshold"
"A mother of the little ones"
"Don’t know why she's stuck at the threshold"
"A mother of the little ones"
"The harsh and sharp words,, Are hurting me constantly"
"My lord is imprisoned in his majestic abode"
"The singed dreams,, need a soothing balm of love"
"The link connecting us is unravelling,, need a bond to bring us together"
"I lay at your feet o Lord,, "
",, my sorrows"
"Let darkness from my life go away like a lamp dispels darkness"
"Like a lamp"
"I'm stuck,, My heart has fallen for you,, the night is never ending"
"The secret when exposed,, loses their significance and importance"
"Don’t know why she's stuck at the threshold"
"A mother of the little ones"
Tie the streamers well,
And make sure you stack up the chairs inside,
- Jeetu? - Huh?
Let it be, I’ll do it later, Sit down over here,
That,,
,, tourism business of yours,,
Are people responding well?
I get about 2-3 inquiries every day,
But the ones who don't travel here,,
Can we send our food to them,,
,, without going to them?
Yes,
This mobile that makes you angry,,
,, this mobile is capable of sending anything to anyone, anywhere,
The thing is son,,
A father can't always be right,
Sometimes, a son manages to teach his father something,
I,,
,, was wrong,
As a kid, while growing up, I grew in size,
But I never grew courage,
Even I thought about starting a business but, I doubted myself all the time,
I thought about failing and my image in society,
My hopes and dreams took a backseat because of my doubts,
I think as a father, I'm too late in showing you support,
I made a mistake,
Don't say that, You weren't wrong,
You were right,
Look, you might not be too rich,,
,, but,,
,, you are a great father,
Really?
No,,
You're the greatest!
I'm so sorry dad,
Please forgive me,
A mother's ego is pulling you down Ahilya,
A woman is very emotional about her family by default,
I can understand how a woman coming into your son's life can affect you,
I went through the same thing when you and Sunanda joined the family,
I wondered if we would get along,
Then I decided,,
,, I'll never treat you like a daughter-in-law,
I told myself I'll treat both of you like my two young friends,
If you believe it,,
,, it can be easy,
Otherwise this will be difficult,
Anyone can be cursed with the burden of one's ego,
Even a mother,
Think about it,
“They say you can meet God if you try enough”
“But it’s time for me to leave”
“Alright then, I’ll go now, ”
Come closer everyone,
Appa, come,,
We have to say prayers,
All this will eventually end,
Let's start from today,
Let's not do this ceremony,
Appa?
I'll say my prayer,
O Lord Ganesha, Destroyer of evil,,
Yes great King,,
All three generations of the Gharat family, young and old, are standing here,
We are here to bid you farewell,
Yes great King!
Our entire family,,
,, as every year,,
,, have tried to serve you as best we could,
Please accept it with love,
Yes great King!
In the minds of the members of this family, the place of faith has been taken over by selfishness,
Because of which, we've forgotten our traditions and duties,
Please ignore our mistakes and forgive us with a big heart, O Lord!
Yes great King!
When the family is in crisis, give us the strength to,,
,, be as strong and clear as Kriti was, when we were fighting,
Yes great King!
O Lord, don't let us get lonely in this beautiful world and focus on the problems of others,
Yes great King!
We're the next generation of the Gharats,
We are happy to take over the responsibility of our traditions,
Please give us the strength of unity, O Lord!
Yes great King!
The thing is Ahilya,,
Even if you change the duration of the festival,,
,, it won't matter to Lord Ganesha,
But it will definitely matter to us,
You understand what I mean?
Go on,,
My mind,,
,, has been clouded by pride and ego,
Please burn and destroy negativity, O Lord,,
Kriti,,
Why are you standing there?
Come here,
Both of you can pray together,
And ask Lord Ganesha,,
,, to give an egoistic person like me some sense,
Take this dear,
[everyone cheering]
Hang on,, listen to me,,
As the head of this family, I declare that,,
,, from now on every year, the Gharat family's Ganesha festival will be for 7 days!
[everyone cheering]
Lord Ganesha, bless us! Glory to, Lord Ganesha!
Come back next year, for 7 days!
And next year, my grandson Ketan and grand-daughter-in-law Kriti, will pray together,
Wow!
Let's continue with the celebrations!
One minute,, hang on,,
Next year, the festival will be attended by,,
,, my daughter-in-law Aashna,
[everyone cheering]
Yes great King!
"Today the festival is truly celebrated, Lord Ganesha is here"
"With full pomp and show, finally Lord Ganesha arrives at our home"
"Finally Lord Ganesha arrives at our home"
“One’s mind has to be at peace”
“Sant Tukaram, you were right!”
“Even if I am God, I too yearn for peace, harmony and unity”
“Though my family name is ‘Gharat’,, ”
“,, I wish everybody gets to enjoy the fun and benefits of a joint family, ”
“Say it with me! Glory to,, Lord Ganesha!”
