[cars whizzing by]
[distant honking]
- What happened? - Sanitizer!
- Sanitizer! Quick! - What happened?! Somebody in there?
What--
There was a rat.
- And a lizard as well! - [Radz] Yuck!
And when I switched on the flash, I saw a shade card of shit!
Shit!
The stench burnt through my nose hair!
Not the face, Radhika!
I'm just sanitizing your aura, man.
I really need to pee.
What should we do?
We can't do it here, Radhika.
We'll die.
F***!
Ugh! If I don't pee right away, I'm gonna piss my pants!
It has happened before.
Yeah, I've wet the bed until very late in life.
Suman, I'm not talking about when I was a kid.
It happened last year.
They are taxing us heavily, but we're getting a bang for our buck!
It was spotless!
The piss was orgasmic!
- [Suman] I hate you, Avi! - What?
Get in the car!
"The piss was orgasmic!"
- [Avi] What happened? - [Radz] I can't believe I have penis envy!
What's wrong?
Shut up.
[Radz] Belt.
Let's go, Suman.
Drink some water, Radz. It will help you calm down.
You could've pissed in the bushes further away!
Here, the whole highway has an open view.
[Radz] Shut up, you dumbf***. It's already too late.
[man hollers]
F***!
Suman, close your eyes.
Just enjoy the feeling.
To hell with the world!
[Suman] Avi, don't you dare sneak a peek!
Yeah, right! That's what I'm missing.
A sneak peek of your a**es.

[upbeat rhythmic music plays]
Music!
[soft beep]
What's the name?
"GeddiWithGulati."
"Geddi" is not in my vocabulary.
[soft music plays]
It's "gedi," by the way.
Hmm. Gedi.
The bloody truck driver's having a pretty good day.
He’ll brag to everyone at the highway diner…
"Today, I had two aunties twerking for me!"
I wonder if he’ll say "aunties."
"Girls."
Hmm.
He’ll say, "I got girls twerking for me today."
Got girls twerkin' for me! Wow, what a line!
It’s like it’s from a song.
♪ Got girls twerkin' for me! ♪
- ♪ Got girls twerkin' for me! ♪ - [vocal percussion]
- ♪ Got girls twerkin' for me! ♪ - [vocal percussion continues]
[Avi and Radz end with vocal effects]
Love it.
You're a MILF now, by the way. You realize that?
I'm a MILF?
Of course! We're both MILFs now!
So sweet!
Sweet?
[Suman] Avi, stop it.
Please, I'm not gonna drive the whole day!
Let me see it. One minute.
Hand me that as well.
This is mine now. He’s not getting it back.
- [Suman chuckles] - Cheers.
You never learned to drive. Why are we paying the price for it?
Don't bother, Radz.
It's her day today. Let her enjoy it.
Correct.
I feel like a groom on a horse, heading to pick up my bride.
Wow.
That was a good call, actually.
To pick her up.
We turned it into a road trip.
[Radz hums in agreement]
She’s supposed to be living in my house.
I need to know where she lives, how she lives.
Radz, I’ll drop Eshaan off at your place,
and then we’ll catch a movie and go for walks.
Guys, we're getting a nanny!
What’s the name of the nanny?
Sunita.
So, why don’t you hire Sunita’s sister?
No, Sattu is not comfortable with a maid at home.
What, he doesn't trust himself around maids?
No!
He is just shy.
He doesn't even wear shorts in front of the cleaning lady.
Oh…
Actually, the laundry guy caught him naked once.
[soft music plays]
I think we’re f***ing lost.
I'm sure we've crossed the Maharashtra border.
[Suman] No, we need to keep going straight.
Let’s ask that uncle.
- Stop right here. - [Avi] What would he know?
[Suman in Marathi] Uncle!
Uncle, where is Borthi village?
[in Marathi] Borthi? Why are you going there?
- Umm… - [in Marathi] No reason!
We're wanderers.
Where is it?
Go straight.
It’s about 30 kilometers away.
[Avi in Hindi] Shall we drop you somewhere?
No, I’m good.
I need to hit my ten-thousand-step goal today.
Okay.
- [Suman and Radz] Thank you, Uncle. - [Avi in English] Have fun.
[uplifting folksy music plays]
[sugarcane machines rattles]
[in Marathi] Brother, where is Borthi village?
- Go straight. - Straight?
[Suman in Hindi] Go straight.
[Avi] Man, I’m done driving on this moon.
We’re definitely lost. The map isn’t working either.
Lord, send us a savior to light our path!
- [Radz] What will you give in return? - [Suman] What do you mean?
I mean, you need to strike a deal with God, right?
Like, “If you give me this, I’ll light a candle.”
“If you give me that, I’ll break a coconut.” Something like that?
What do I need to do to get directions?
A simple "thank you" won’t do it?
No.
You know what?
Say, "If someone gives me the right directions, I'll flash them!"
What a vow!
No…
Radhika, you flash.
Me? [tuts]
Alright, I’ll flash!
Look, you’ve said it. You can't…
Yeah, it’s final. I’ll do it. [giggles]
God's being a real bro today. Look! You girls are up.
[romantic, dreamy music plays]
- [Suman] Excuse me? - [Radz] Hi.
Yes?
[in Marathi] How do we get to Borthi?
Keep going straight
for five minutes,
and then take a left.
How far is it?
You should get there in ten minutes.
[in Hindi] Radhika, honor your vow.
Radhika, honor your vow!
Just drive the car and watch me "vow" him.
[romantic, dreamy music continues]
Brother…
thank you.
[Radz] I always meant flashing a smile, b***h.
[Avi] I hate wordplay.
[Suman and Radz chuckle]
[romantic, dreamy music fades out]
[in Marathi] Mackerel, prawns, chicken, rice flatbread, solkadhi,
and your pohe.
- Want more? - No.
- How’s the food? - Excellent.
It's amazing. Thank you.
[in Hindi] You're gonna devour the entire cast of Finding Nemo here.
Go ahead, take some more.
Should I serve you some?
[Avi grunts, exclaims]
[in Marathi] Hey, what's up?
[in Hindi] Why don't you focus on the chicken leg piece on your plate?
Huh?
Or do you want a piece of my leg up your behind?
[in Marathi] Hey, relax! Put your feet up. Don't worry.
Let 'em breathe. Don't worry. I'm here for you.
- Rustic Radhika. - [all chuckle]
Did she say, “Let 'em breathe”?
[Avi giggles]
[Radz] Please, Avi.
The solkadhi is yum!
This is nice.
- That is solkadhi. - [notification dings]
[Kadambari on voicemail] Mumma, why did you abadaba me?
You don't love me, Mumma?
Mumma, come home!
Aunty, are you married?
Yes, of course. My son's married now.
- Is your husband a nice man? - [woman] A very nice man.
My piece-of-shit “nice man” is probably lying drunk somewhere right now.
Leave him!
And I’ll leave my wife.
I can leave anyone for such amazing food.
- Do you have a cigarette? - Yeah.
Here you go.
Your total is 700.
- What’s your name? - [woman] Smita.
[exclaims]
Go kill your time somewhere else.
Aunty, where is Sunita Sawant’s house?
It says it’s somewhere on Post Office Road.
See that road straight ahead?
Just keep going straight,
and you’ll come across a house
where you'll see six beautiful sarees drying in the courtyard.
That’s… my house.
If you go a little further, you’ll reach a school.
Just ask anyone near the school, and they’ll tell you.
Thank you.
Let’s go.
[cow mooing and goat bleating]
This feels like we’re in a video game.
[mock fires]
- It’s ringing. - [phone ringing]
[disconnection tone]
- She hung up! - Hang me, please…
[Avi] Man, where is it?
Some of you go this way…
And the rest can go f*** themselves!
Let's ask this old lady?
[in Hindi] Ma’am, this-- You do it.
[in Marathi] Grandma, is this Post Office Road?
Yes, it is.
- [Suman] Where do the Sawants live? - Over there.
[Avi] Over there?
Thank you.
- [Avi in Hindi] She's scary. - [Radz] This village is weird.
[prayer and bells in the background]
[in Marathi] Where is Sunita?
She’s taking a busha.
[in English] She’s doing Bush?
“Busha” means bath.
Bushing.
[in Marathi] We have cable TV.
[rooster cackling]
- [TV turns on] - [cricket commentary plays]
Keep scrolling.
- [channel switches] - Keep scrolling.
- [Crime TV show plays] - Stop!
Watch.
[tense investigative TV show plays]
[dramatic music plays]
[in Hindi] Grandma, hold on a second-- Turn off the TV!
- Sunita's kids… Where are they? - [TV switches off]
[in Marathi] The… little ones.
Not little,
she's big.
Sunita is a big girl.
[in Hindi] How big?
She means old, not fat.
- [Radz] I mean… - [Suman] Okay.
[in English] Just ask her if they’re okay with Sunita leaving.
[in Marathi] Grandma,
can we take Sunita with us?
Excellent!
How much dowry?
Is he the groom?
He’s quite handsome.
[in English] Bro, she thinks we’re marrying Avinash off to Sunita.
She’s asking how much dowry we’ll take.
Hey, bro, dowry is not cool. What’s this?
That’s your problem?
[in broken Marathi] Grandma, I’m already married.
- Here’s my son. - What?!
We’re not giving our girl away to you! A second marriage?!
Get out of here!
- Grandma, no! We are not-- - [Grandma] Get out!
- [Radz] It’s all just a misunderstanding. - Leave.
- We need Sunita for nanny services. - Yes.
[in Marathi] What’s going on?
- [in Hindi] Who are you? - Avinash.
Is this Sawant’s house?
We’re here to take Sunita to Mumbai.
[in Marathi] This guy’s not nice.
Get out. We’re not marrying our girl to you.
Hey, old lady, my name is Sarita.
[in Hindi] There's no Sunita here.
- I’m Sarita. - Okay.
[all] Oh!
- Okay, wrong house. - [in Marathi] Get going!
- Leave right now! - [in Hindi] Yes, we’re leaving!
- Aunty, we are leaving. - Yes, we are.
- Avi, get the bag. - [Avi] Leave it.
- Get the bag! - [Suman] My probiotics are in it.
[Radz] Yes, we’re leaving.
She’s gone mad.
[in Marathi] Why did you come here? Want to marry again?
- [Radz] Grandma! - What’s wrong with you?
- Trying to trap another girl. - [Radz] We’re leaving.
[Suman] Give it to me.
Why was she getting violent?
[buffalo moos]
Radhika, you did talk to Sunita, right? She knows we’re coming?
Of course, I spoke to her, Avi.
We went over everything in detail. When we’d leave and when we’d arrive.
She’ll come home for the last weekend every month.
We discussed which train to take and which bus to catch.
Everything was clear.
Clearly, it was not clear.
So, am I a dumba** for coming all the way here?
No comment.
You… You two, stop fighting.
Hey, didn’t that aunt say
it was near a school?
Should we check there?
[school bell tolling]
- [Radhika and Suman chatter] - Let's go.
[playful chatter of children playing]
This is the school.
[playful chatter continues]
[Radz] Where's the house?
[Avi] There’s no name.
[in English] Yes, please. I can help?
Very impressive, junior.
[in Hindi] Do you know where Sunita Sawant lives?
- Are you here to pick her up? - Yes.
- Yes. Do you know where she lives? - Yes.
She’s a relative.
Follow me, and I'll take you there.
[in Marathi] Hey, I’ll be back!
I'll show them the way.
What’s your name?
[in English] My name is Nannu.
[in broken English] Nannu is a small name, big name is Suraj.
What a nice big name.
What is your name?
Big name is Avinash,
and small name is…
Call me “A.”
Medium name is Avi.
[in Hindi] Do they live close by?
Not really.
[Avi] So, should we get my car?
[in broken English] We will go in the fields.
Car not drive in fields.
- Nannu, you speak such good English. - Learned from YouTube.
[in Hindi] Nannu, do you know Sunita’s kids?
[in English] Yes, one girl, one boy.
Good kids.
[chuckles]
[whooping and hollering echoes]
Deep well!
Don’t look.
You’ll feel like to jump!
Ghost comes in night in well!
[in Hindi] Whose ghost?
My father’s father.
[in English] Grandfather!
He jump after drinking.
[chuckles]
[in Hindi] Your grandfather?
- Have you seen him? - [Nannu] Everyone has.
Good ghost.
[lively country music plays]
[Nannu in broken English] See! There is Sunita house!
[Suman and Radz exclaim tiredly]
[Avi] Awesome!
- [Suman yelps] - [Radz chuckles]
[Radz] I think I'm gonna cry when I actually see her.
[Nannu] Why do cry?
Hey, you can speak Hindi or Marathi with us if you want.
We’ll understand.
[in Hindi] But how will I practice?
[in broken English] Here, no one talk in English.
I should learn.
[in Hindi] You can land a good job if you can speak English.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
[in broken English] I want to work in an office, wear belt, and full pants.
- [in Hindi] Oh, we're changing gears! - Hey!
- Oh, man! - [Suman] Come on!
Yes!
The door is locked.
Yes, exactly.
Wait, let me look for the keys.
He's a shady character.
Doesn’t this mean she’s not home?
I’m calling again. I don’t trust this kid.
[phone ringing]
- [disconnection tone] - Who keeps hanging up?!
He’s the one hanging us out to dry!
Radz, something is not right. What the hell is going on?
[Suman] He’s back.
She left to catch the bus to Mumbai.
- Hurry up, and you’ll find her there. - Where?
- What? - [Nannu] Over there!
- [Avi] Where? - [Nannu in English] Come fast!
- [Nannu] Come on, come fast! - [upbeat music plays]
This kid is taking us for a ride.
Where did we find this kid?
[Avi and Radz panting]
[Radz panting] Avi, stop.
Avi, stop. Listen to me.
- Is she running a race? - I'm tired.
I need to f***ing quit smoking.
- We'll lose the kid! - Hey, stop!
Hey!
[Avi] Hey!
[Nannu] Come fast, come, come!
He walks pretty fast too!
[Suman] Slow down a bit.
[Avinash hesitates]
- [barks] - Hey, Shomya!
[in broken English] Shomya! He no bite.
But who take risk?
Come on!
This is insane, bro. F***!
[in Hindi] Radz, there's a kid.
F***, sorry.
[scoffs]
Let’s go.
It'll be a long walk to the car.
[Nannu in English] The car is here.
[in Hindi] Look over there.
Where is it?
Oh, man!
Why are we running in circles around the village?
Why did you take the long route?
[Suman] Well, at least something went right.
Let’s grab a bottle of water and head out.
- Let’s go. - [Nannu in English] Wait, wait!
I will bring. You sit.
- [in Hindi] This kid-- - [yelps]
An insect bit me.
I’m so sorry. I feel terrible.
I got you all here and wasted your time.
Shut up and scratch it.
- Radz! [chuckles] - Something bit me.
- It’s biting me in all the wrong places. - I can’t do more than that.
Don’t worry, Radz.
We will remember this chapter for the rest of our lives.
You sprinkle some salt,
I’ll throw in some spices, and he’ll mix in some alcohol.
- Right, because I'm the bloody drunk?! - [both chuckle]
[in English] Take, take.
Bye-bye. Now go.
Go fast.
[Smita in Marathi] What happened?!
[in Hindi] Did you find Sunita?
We combed through the whole village!
Did you see her?
You found her son, but not her?
Eh?
[in Marathi] Hey, Nannu!
Where’s your mother?
Why am doing all this, Nannya?!
You think we have truckloads of money?
- That's enough. - Don't you get it?
- Why are you making this difficult?! - It's okay.
- Sunita, don’t hit him. - Why are you troubling me?!
Avi, stop her, man!
You want to screw people over?
- You think you can get away? - Don’t hit him. Please.
[Suman] Enough. Enough.
[in Marathi] Please have a seat, ma'am.
Please, sir. Hey, get the chairs!
[Smita] Get the chairs.
Put them over there!
Yes, over there.
[Sunita] Sit.
Sit.
Hurry up.
Have a seat.
Sorry, ma'am.
[in Hindi] He must've pestered you!
Hey, Nannu!
Come here! Quickly!
Please sit.
Say sorry.
- Sorry. - It’s okay.
He’s not usually like this.
He’s a good kid.
He’s studying hard.
I was looking for a job in Mumbai just for his education.
His friends are a piece of work.
They’ve nicked my phone. I've been looking for it all morning.
When I asked, he said his dad took it.
Liar!
Where’s my phone?
I even asked him to tell Patil aunty to send you here.
You didn't tell her, did you?
Where’s my phone?!
Jui?
You too?
No, thanks.
You're supposed to look after him after I go to Mumbai!
Here, have some tea.
Here you go.
- Tea. - Yes.
Your husband?
He doesn’t earn a penny…
and burns through whatever little I make.
He took a loan of 50,000 to open a shop
and then squandered it.
The mortgage is five thousand rupees a month.
If we don’t pay it, we’ll lose the house as well.
If I work in Mumbai for a year,
I’ll be able to manage the expenses and pay off the debt.
- [chicken clucks, yelps] - Hey, move!
[Nannu in Marathi] Mom, please, don’t leave.
Don’t go, Mom.
Nannya…
[in Hindi] We've talked about this, right?
We need the money.
[whispers] Come on, let’s go inside. Come.
[in Marathi] Your sister is here, right?
Nannya,
your sister will be with you.
I'll visit every month!
[in Hindi] Jui will look after you.
And who will look after me?
How will you go to school?
We're neck-deep in debt!
[in Marathi] Nannya, come on,
you’re a smart boy, right?
I’ll get you into an English-medium school soon.
[in Hindi] I can learn it on YouTube!
Ask them.
I spoke to them in English.
Sunita…
Jui's gonna look after Nannu while you’re gone?
She’s a kid as well.
Ma'am, we have our neighbors here.
Patil aunty is here as well. They will look after them.
[in Marathi] Mom, please don’t go.
Please don’t go, Mom.
Nannya…
please don’t make this harder, my child.
Let me go.
[all sobbing]
[in Hindi] I have kept two bottles in the front and two in the back.
Guys, I know what to do.
Let’s ask her to dump her husband,
and we’ll take Nannu and Jui with us. We have better schools.
Are you planning to keep the whole family at your place?
We’ll help them rent a house or something.
Radz, they have a setup here.
This is their home.
Is she really going to leave her kids behind and go to work every day?
Is it easy in Mumbai?
- I’m just trying to help, Avi. - [Avi] This is not helping, Radz.
Leaving your husband isn’t easy, you know.
You don’t know anything about her.
Not her life. Not her village.
This is not Twitter. It's the real f***ing world.
Listen, don’t lecture me.
I get it.
[car door clicks open]
[car door thuds close]
Should we take her with us?
I don’t know what else to do.
But it’s not our decision. It’s Sunita’s.
She's supposed to leave her children behind to look after mine?
That doesn’t seem fair, does it?
