Kuttush. What are you doing Kuttush?
Don't do that. Aren't you a good boy?
Don't. What is this, Kajol?
It's been ten minutes since I came.
Where is my papaya? - Here, this is your tiffin.
Here, Mumma has cooked noodles for you.
Are these noodles or pasta?
Just have it.
Eat.
Here, you can have this shake as well.
She has prepared a smoothie with papaya and bananas.
How do you cook so many things in the morning, Shri?
Just make something simple.
Why the unnecessary commotion every day?
There are two cooking counters in one kitchen.
Do you plan to spend your life
cooking like this? - Good morning, everyone.
Good morning.
Good morning Kuttush. - Hmm.
Good morning, my cutie auntie.
You just made my day, darling.
Mom. Good morning, mom.
Good morning. Good morning.
Hey, your hair is all wet.
God, mom. That's called the wet look.
It suits me. And it looks quite natural.
You will understand once you get sinus.
That won't suit you for sure. - Ugh!
Okay, well, whatever.
Sister-in-law, what's special for today?
Today's menu is,
Italian pasta with a honey mustard sauce,
but with an Indian twist.
There is a banana papaya smoothie. And oats for you.
Fusion food. Awesome. - Yeah.
That means Reva auntie's food but with a twist.
Yes. - I will try the pasta.
Give me some, Mumma. - Give her some.
Take some more. Another spoon. - Okay, give.
That's it, that's it. - So little?
Mother.
Have you tried this? - No, no, I haven't.
Why aren't you tasting it?
Open your mouth. - Hmm.
Open your mouth.
Good morning! - Good morning, brother.
Open your mouth a little wider. - Quickly serve my breakfast.
I am running late for the meeting.
Mr and Mrs Sen are
already here. - You say the same thing every day.
Mrs Sen? - Then you will leave without eating breakfast.
Has Monami Mallika become Mrs Sen, now? - I have cooked pasta.
Have some. - Yes, she is now, one of the board members.
You are not eating properly. - Give Anni, some shake.
Take. - Hmm, don't give me more.
Open your mouth. - Hey, brother, help me get a job.
Give my tiffin.
Hey, Kuttush!
Your bus is here. Hurry up! - Kuttush, your tiffin box.
Hey, listen. Kuttush.
Show your history notebook to ma'am.
Have you understood, She has given you one less mark.
And remember to bring your maths notebook from school.
You have to take it to your tuition sir in the evening.
You are not being able to solve the word problems properly.
Have you understood? - Yes.
Come on, come on, we are late.
Have you kept my tiffin in the bag?
Yes, I have.
Share it with Rishabh also. - Bye Kuttush.
Kuttush, come.
May I?
Bye. - Ta-ta.
Come on, hurry up.
Why do you sit with your phone on the breakfast table?
Will look at your phone or eat? - Hey! What are you doing?
You say the same thing every day. - Hey, have you finished eating?
Let's go.
Let's go, let's go.
- Please, have some more.
Bye. - Bye, sister-in-law.
Bye. - Hey, come on.
Yeah, yeah, I am coming.
Sister-in-law, let me prepare your tea, now.
Did it take you so long to open the door?
What is the matter? - Oh, God, the things you do!
Ugh! - Here, take this.
What has she cooked today?
You don't need to know all that. They are Continental dishes.
You won't understand.
You are the only one who understands everything.
I have worked with madam for so long. I understand everything.
Where is your madam?
I wanted to give her the list of recipes.
She is not keeping well.
Really? - She did not sleep last night.
She slept at dawn.
She is unhappy.
She doesn't take her medication on time.
The son lives abroad and the mother is all alone here.
Do you know, he doesn't even call her?
All right. You take this recipe.
Sister-in-law will call in the evening.
Listen.
Don't taste from this.
Serve it to madam. You can eat the leftovers.
See you. - Hey, just get out of here.
Bye-bye.
For how long will you sleep?
Sister-in-law.
Wake up, sister-in-law.
Wake up, sister-in-law! For how long will you sleep?
Wake up!
Is this how you wake a person?
I have a headache.
So what? I will make you some strong coffee.
How many times have I told you?
Don't sleep at noon. You tend to gain weight.
I am not asleep, dear.
I simply dozed off while reading the book.
Just look at yourself.
You are ballooning.
Look at me. Do I rest at noon?
You are a superwoman.
Whether you call me superwoman or 'shakti-man,'
I am determined not to gain weight.
I have become lethargic.
Hmm.
Sister-in-law.
Reva madam is unwell.
Please, call her.
Why?
I went and met her the day before last.
No, no, it's not serious. Just call her once.
Where is my phone?
Have you misplaced your phone again? Huh?
Here, there... You leave it all over the place. Darn!
Have you left it in the living room? - I did not call anyone.
I thought I kept it under the pillow.
Where did it go? Darn, this is so annoying.
Hey! I found it.
Kajol! I found my phone.
How was your meeting, today?
Today was a tough day.
I had back-to-back meetings.
Good.
Then you better sleep early, today.
You had a hectic day.
You needn't read a book, now.
You know, Shri, it is a habit.
I fell in love with a college junior because of your habit.
Otherwise, you are very average.
The way you are talking as if you are way older than I am.
Stop overacting.
By the way,
what did you say?
I am
below average? Correct?
Below average. - Below average.
Hey, Anni, this is not allowed.
Haven't I told you not to tickle me? - What's that again?
Hey, stop it! Hey! - What's not allowed?
Did you call me average? - I made a mistake!
Satisfactory. - Satisfactory?
Satisfactory. - Again? Satisfactory, huh?
Let me show you, how satisfactory I am.
Enough.
How many times have I told you not to tickle me.
Listen, sweetheart.
It is not enough to cook fancy food, Mrs Chatterjee.
Look, so that I can maintain a good appetite,
you must look after that as well, right?
I am sorry, Mr Chatterjee. Not today.
Why not?
Not today.
I cannot doze all-day after taking contraceptives.
Look, I am becoming so fat.
You don't listen to anything I say.
And that is why people think I am your elder sister.
Apparently, we look like brother and sister. Nonsense!
Who cares about what people say?
Listen.
Come out of the kitchen
and do free hands, once in a while.
You will see, how you shed some weight.
And then you won't feel so fat.
Stay away. - And don't blame me
because you are gaining weight
or because people call you my sister. Okay?
You don't say such things while eating what I cook?
Don't touch me.
Come. Please, don't spoil my mood.
And I don't mind if you gain a couple of pounds.
The more the merrier.
And I
sort of like the sister image.
Didi. - What are you saying?
Yes. - Are you my brother?
Brother! - This is too much!
Sister. Sister. - Stop it, please!
Why are you always in a hurry?
It bothers me.
After I drop you, I must reach office and send an email to Mallika.
She just texted me.
She must be a smart girl.
Hmm.
She trapped a man her father's age and now, he is her husband.
You have to give her due credit.
That was quite a tongue twister, huh?
Oh, by the way, listen.
It almost slipped out of my mind. Next week,
Mr Sen and Mallika will come to our house for dinner.
What cuisine would you like me to serve, sir? Tell me.
Chinese, Manchurian, Indian, Mughlai,
Vietnamese, Thai, Mexican,
Bengali or fusion food?
Anything fresh from
Shrimati's kitchen. - Hmm.
I will speak to Reva and arrange everything.
You needn't worry, sir.
Thank you, sister.
Hey!
Hello! Mr Kuttush.
We must focus on maths, we must practice, right?
Yes, papa. I know. I will.
You say, I know, I will to everything.
Why don't you concentrate on your studies? - Sorry.
Hey, he will, from now on.
Am I right, Kuttush?
Yes, papa. I promise.
Okay.
Promise, indeed!
Oh, dear! What a stink!
How much do the prawns cost? - Twelve hundred.
How much? - Just hold one, and see.
It's the best, as you can see.
Okay, give me the same-sized fish.
I don't want small ones, give me the larger ones. - Hey.
I will pick the best for you.
Show me the bass as well. - Should I give you some bass?
Yes, this is a good one.
It is precious.
See how it shines. - Clean the scales.
Sister, what are you doing? You are breaking all the ladysfingers.
Oh, dear! Shouldn't I check whether the vegetable is tender or old?
You have over-grown ladysfingers here.
Darn!
Give me these.
Will, you just take these after breaking so many ladysfingers?
Should I buy two or three kilos of ladysfinger?
Most of your vegetables are not fresh.
How can I sell the broken pieces?
How will I check if they are tender or not? - Hey, don't act smart!
Just give the ones she has asked for.
Am I here to cater to your whims? I cannot give you these.
What do you mean?
Means I won't sell these to you. What else?
Oh, yes you will.
Don't pick a fight with me. - Keep quiet.
What will you do?
Hey, would you like to see?
Yes, of course! - Kajol!
Yes, I would like to see it. - Kajol!
Don't pick a fight with scum.
Madam, madam, madam! What did you just say?
Scum? What? What did you say? - She is right.
Whom did you use that term for? Who?
You have been misbehaving since then.
Oh! Huh! Uncle? What is your problem?
She broke all the ladysfinger and now,
she wants to buy just half of them.
What do you mean, I have broken them? Your vegetables are not fresh!
Does that mean, you will break them all? - Hey, uncle!
Why are you yelling?
A beautiful woman has come to shop early in the morning.
Why are you fighting?
How many did she spoil?
- More than half, just take a look.
Give me those and give her the rest.
Take this. Don't fight early in the morning.
Thank you.
But what will you do with all that ladysfinger?
No, no, I want them. It's okay.
Take this. I am sure it's more than the actual price. Keep the change.
Don't do such things. - Give me, mine.
Give me my vegetables. - Good morning.
Good morning.
And thank you.
It's okay.
Now, he was a gentleman.
Isn't the fellow handsome?
He is so handsome.
Your vegetables!
And your change!
Let's go. - Yeah! Let's go.
Come on. - Why are you going that way?
Hurry up, sister-in-law. They have arrived.
Wait.
This is what happens when you get late. - Hey,
just wait. Don't bother me.
It's not enough for the food to taste good,
presentation and garnishing
are very important. Do you understand?
Look at this.
How can we present the food without decorating the plate?
Carry it upstairs carefully.
Come on. Wait, wait, wait.
Ugh! Huh! What's wrong with my hair, now?
There is something on your hair.
It's nothing.
Is it okay, Step aside, let me go. - Sister-in-law, wait.
Wait a minute, please.
Yes, let's see.
I have told you so many times to apply some lipstick.
You are so beautiful and yet you don't dress properly.
Why don't you apply a darker shade?
I did. As long as it is visible, it's fine.
Are my pleats, okay?
Step aside. - Let me check your veil.
I applied lipstick and a dot on my forehead. What else can I do?
You are looking very pretty. - Is that okay, now?
Thank you. - Bring them up.
Yes, I will. You go one. - Bye.
Don't mention it.
I am tired of eating outside. - Greetings, Mr Sen.
There you are. How are you?
Fine. How are you?
You are looking so pretty, darling.
Thank you.
Hi, Mallika. - Hello.
Hi.
But I have to compliment Anindo.
He has maintained himself so well.
You have to buck up, Shrimati.
Anindo was your junior at college, if I am not mistaken.
But that's not the point.
You should maintain yourself, please.
How are you?
What took you so long?
Tell me about it. - The traffic in Kolkata is disgusting.
On top of that, our huge car. I am sure you can understand.
Actually, we stay abroad throughout the year.
From one continent to another continent.
I got confused on my way here.
Hello, young lady. How are you?
I am fine, how are you?
Very well.
How are you Mrs Sen? - Oh, very good.
You are looking a little pale.
Tell me about it.
One must devote sometime to self-care.
She has such a busy schedule at work.
You... - Actually...
Like the modern girls...
Hoity-toity but very disorganised.
Actually, I hardly have the time to design myself
while designing buildings.
I hope you understand, Mrs Sen?
Of course.
So, this is little Anindo, huh?
Mallika, give him the box of chocolates.
Oh! Completely forgot. Come here.
Hey!
Little devil.
These are original Belgian chocolates.
Thank her. - Thank you.
Don't open them, now.
Shrimati. - Yes.
I am sure you have prepared an elaborate dinner.
No, no, not really.
Whatever little I could do.
Shrimati will not cook without Mrs Dey's suggestions.
Bengalis all over the world consult her cookbooks.
She is known as the kitchen queen.
You are so close to her, Shrimati. How lucky?
You cook with true passion.
That is an understatement.
She has two cooking counters in one kitchen.
Come on, mother.
So, why didn't Mrs Dey come?
She is unwell.
She is also busy with the publication.
She is launching a new recipe book.
That's wonderful. - She is busy with that.
But she instructed me on the phone.
Like, we discussed about the menu together. - Wonderful.
I see. - Hello.
Hello. Thank you. - Hello.
Fantastic.
Very different.
What have you added to this dish?
This is an aromatic lemon kebab with stuffed cheese
sprinkled with Indian spices.
All that in one dish?
I hope I won't fall sick.
No, no, why would you fall ill?
Actually, the aromatic lemon is good for digestion.
Yes, madam, it won't cause acidity.
It will clear your system.
Kajol.
Kajol, go and get the rest of the things ready. Go.
Very talkative maid.
Very irritating
You should control her.
Ahem, Kuttush.
Don't you have a maths test tomorrow?
Go upstairs and practice your sums.
All right. My sweet son.
Bye, people.
Bye, little Anindo. - Bye.
Let me go with him.
He is not very good at maths.
Sure. - Anyway, enjoy the evening.
Thank you very much.
Well, Mr Sen.
I suppose you will stay in Kolkata for your new project?
And I hope Mr Sharma is looking after the overseas?
We will discuss work in the office. Okay?
Sure.
But that is also very important Mr Sen.
This happens predominantly in India.
Period.
While eating lunch in a foreign country
people crack million-dollar deals.
No wonder, we are lagging.
Not really, Mallika.
India is really progressing.
I owe a lot to this country.
Huh! You wish.
Shri, will you see if the dinner is ready? - Sure.
I will go and arrange the dinner.
Excuse me.
Sure. Come along.
Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Thank you, Anindo, for this lovely evening.
Our pleasure.
And Shrimati.
Lovely food as always.
Thank you, Mr Sen.
Okay, listen, you must come to my party, next week.
Honey.
I mean for Mallika's party.
She has organised everything and put it together.
Anindo, you will come, of course. And Shrimati
you must come. I'll be expecting you.
Sure.
Shall we? - Yeah.
Good night. - Okay, good night. Good night.
Please.
Thank you so much.
All the arrangements were perfect.
Stop it.
You sound like Mallika.
Please! Not again!
Mallika is so weird.
And I don't have a great impression of Mr Sen either.
He was nodding his head at whatever his wife was saying,
just like a wired doll.
What else can he do?
He has unlimited money. His son lives in the U.S.
And he married again at this age.
He is just fulfilling his fantasies.
Anindo, I asked you to massage my back.
And you could not even do that.
Baby, see what I have got for you.
What?
Hey, just look here.
What is it? Can't you see, I am reading?
I have got something much more interesting to show you.
Really? What?
You made my day.
Come, I'll make your night.
What say, sister?
Again? - What?
You really enjoy this, don't you?
Hmm. No thanks.
I know, how to make my night.
I don't need you, Mr Chatterjee. - What?
And my goodnight consists of
eight hours of undisturbed good sleep.
And as Mrs Sen says...
Period.
And then there is a huge full stop.
That is so cute, Mr Sen.
Did I not tell you? You would be surprised.
I got these in the U.S. last time.
Did you like them?
Did they turn you on?
Yes, of course.
Like majorly.
But I just can't move my body, Mr Sen.
I am so stuffed with that disgusting oily food.
Oh, but I loved the food.
I think Shrimati is one of the best cooks I have come across.
Are you out of your senses?
That food was oily. Period.
She is obsessed with food all day!
Does she have a life outside the kitchen?
Poor Anindo.
He married a girl who was a senior in college. I pity him.
No, no, Anindo loves his wife.
They are very much in love.
You wish.
Like wife, like sister.
Good-for-nothing!
To top it all, that disgusting maid. Oh, my God!
Why are you so bothered, darling?
Why would I be bothered?
I am... I am just saying Mr Sen.
Just.
Now, let's get down to business, huh.
What happened, Mr Sen?
Wait, I'll go and get your spray. - Yes.
Here, take the recipe. - Yes.
I am very tired, today.
Sister-in-law has prepared an amazing dish.
Share it with madam. - Is it?
The pasta was excellent, the other day.
Madam loved it.
Isn't that so?
Whatever sister-in-law cooks, tastes amazing.
Will you have some coffee?
Without sugar.
And do you have some of madam's patties?
Give me that.
Sit.
Give me two pieces.
Hello. - Are you ready?
I will get ready, now.
Aren't you... The things you do!
I told you so many times...
Come home, so that we can go together.
But you had a thousand meetings today.
What could I have done?
Anyway, call me before you leave.
Yes, I will call you before I leave.
Dress well, okay?
Disconnect the call. So annoying!
Sister-in-law, your coffee.
Did it take you so long to prepare a cup of coffee?
Don't you know, where I went today?
I went to drop Kuttush to Rishabh's place.
Don't you know, they have a Pub G competition today?
I came, had some chilled water and then made your coffee.
Let him do all this.
I told him several times to stay at home and practice sums.
But he won't listen.
Oh, dear, what strange colours.
What happened? - It's so bitter!
Couldn't you add some extra sugar?
Stop eating sugar!
I made strong coffee so that you feel better.
Which one are you wearing?
That one.
Which one?
here, I am wearing this one. - No.
Simple. It will look good.
Sister-in-law, are you going to mourn someone's demise?
Look at the veil. It's pretty. - Absolutely, not.
Is it not nice. - Take out something shimmery.
That is not a place for wearing shimmery sarees.
Look at this one.
This one is nice. - Sister-in-law you have bad taste.
What?
Look at the veil. It's very trendy.
Please, no!
Does this also look drab? - Wear something else.
It's so irritating. - No, no, not this.
Step aside, let me choose.
Sister-in-law.
Just wait. - Won't this be a bit too much?
What do you mean, too much, sister-in-law?
Wear something to attract appreciative looks.
Otherwise, don't go. Avoid.
It's not happening.
It's not happening!
It is very tight. - Just squeeze in your tummy.
Squeeze.
I will fall. - Just wait.
How will I stay there for so long without breathing?
It's almost done.
Wait, sister-in-law.
I cannot manage. I will burst!
It's done. - How will I manage like this?
More...
Look, how this place is bulging?
Have some more sugar. Have some more cheese.
Try to tuck this part in.
Ah! - Have more sugar!
Listen.
Let me wear this. It is simple and will look good.
Sister it is too simple.
That is why I want to wear it.
It will look good. - No, no, wear this.
You wore that for the wedding party.
Am I going for a wedding party today?
I will look overdressed. No.
Sister-in-law.
I see, you don't care for brother's prestige.
Do as I say. It will go with your outfit. - Matching?
Okay, I hope I don't look overdressed. Just see.
Not at all. You must wear that. - Is it looking nice?
You look very pretty.
Hand me the earrings.
There you are.
The blouse has already come off.
My dress may come off at the party!
Is it feasible to dress up, so much?
Sister-in-law.
Wear this. It has a pearl in it. You will look nice.
Though it is gorgeous, will it go with this saree?
Very pretty. I will just come. There is one more thing.
What? - I have brought you flowers.
Should I wear flowers in my hair? What flowers have you brought?
Marigold. - What?
I have no style sense, right?
I have brought a rose.
You look excellent. All eyes will be riveted on you.
And that silly madam... A lost case!
You are looking very pretty.
Hey, Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Am I late?
What happened?
Don't we have to go upstairs?
Okay, please, help me with my pleats.
They got a bit messed up, on the way.
Is this how one sets pleats?
You haven't learned anything.
Why are you looking at me like that?
I know, I am looking pretty.
It's because you came so late.
Let's go. - Yes, let's go.
Come.
Hello, Anindo. - Hi.
What took you so long? - Shrimati, how are you?
We just got a bit late.
Anyway, it's a lovely place.
How are you, Mr Sharma? - I am good.
I am just back from a market tour.
Still, jet-lagged.
Jesus Christ!
Who is that?
You have got to be kidding me.
Excuse me, ladies.
Shrimati.
What can I say?
You look beautiful today.
Stunning.
Thank you.
You are also, looking very sweet.
But not like you.
How are you Anindo?
Absolutely, fine. What about you?
Oh, I am good.
And I am feeling even better after seeing you both.
Pleasure.
May I take her away from you, for a while? - Why not, sure.
Come, I'll introduce you to my gang.
Come, come.
I don't want to go alone. - Go.
Ladies. Attention, please.
She is, the Shrimati whom I told you about.
Isn't she looking like a new bride?
But I must clarify, she is been married for ten years.
She has a naughty son.
She looks as though
she has come here straight from her own wedding reception.
Very true.
I did not dress so much at my own wedding.
What are you doing, Mallika?
Aww! She is blushing!
Is this a real flower?
Yes.
Kajol, the girl who stays with us...
You have met her.
She forced me to wear it.
Really? Suits you.
Yeah. - Ladies, let's have a round of drinks.
Of course. - Sure.
Please, get me a fruit juice.
No, no, no, I won't spare you today.
The other day, I ate whatever you served.
Today is my day.
Thank you.
Cheers! - Cheers!
So, what were you saying?
So, they serve authentic pizzas.
What else?
I can't stand this woman, Mallika.
What a snob!
Why? - What, why?
Did you not see her attitude?
She has trapped the old man and thinks of herself as a movie star.
This is too much.
I am telling you. Don't bring me to such parties again.
Calm down.
Would you like to have a drink?
Why should I calm down? Why should I take a drink?
have I come here to have free drinks?
And you better keep quiet.
I know, everyone gets turned on by her.
There she is, the one who can fix your mood.
Who?
Huh! Hey, Shri?
I will just go and meet her.
That's a lovely red.
I mean, look at you.
I am overdressed, aren't I?
Such a pretty face.
You look good in whatever you wear.
Please, come over, sometime.
Hey, we will come whenever you invite us.
Mr Sharma is a fan of yours. He repeats the same thing, every day.
Why can't you cook fish like Shrimati?
Hey, how can I? After all, I am not Shrimati.
You know, how much I hate cooking.
You needn't cook. I will cook.
You are such a sweetheart.
What happened? I mean, are you uncomfortable?
No, actually the blouse is...
All credit goes to Mallika. - Yes, really.
The ambience is really great.
For us, the ambience is always good when there is a good single malt.
Will you come and have dinner?
May I finish this drink?
What new experiment have you done with fish?
Last time, the dish was too good.
Please, come over to our house.
In fact, that is what I said to Meera.
Do you mean it? - Please, come.
Please, come, let's eat.
You start, I will just join you.
Okay.
See you.
Really?
Look, Santa Claus is having dinner.
I guess she will sleep with this outfit on tonight.
If Anindo wakes up at night...
Imagine his plight.
Thankfully she came to the party
otherwise, I would have got bored.
What is this? - This is spaghetti, ma'am.
What toppings have you added to this?
So, would you like to have another peg?
Sure.
Please.
Hi.
- What is this?
Are you eating already? So, early?
I am a bit hungry and
I have to go home.
Oh, please, Shri.
None of us have had our dinner, yet.
And will you eat just this much? That's all?
I had a lot of starters.
Let me finish this, then I'll help myself to more.
I still haven't tasted all the items.
Okay.
She is so weird.
Hey, I have heard a lot about your great cooking skills.
Thank you.
Come to my place with Mallika.
I enjoy cooking and serving. - Oh!
We would love to.
Hey, have another drink.
Excuse me. - No.
I don't want to have another drink.
I won't take no for an answer, Shri.
I am not good with alcohol. - You must have one drink.
Doesn't matter, have one. - No, I don't like it.
Because...
Mallika insisted... - Shrimati, please.
Here, take this, give me your plate. - I am having dinner.
No, seriously. - Here, have one drink.
Please, I don't want. - Don't behave like an ayah, Srimati
you are already looking like one.
No, let it be. - Have the drink.
No, seriously. I don't want to.
Did that just happen?
Oh, my!
Like seriously! - What fun.
Shh! People are watching.
Ahem.
Open the door, Shri.
Hey, don't cry like that.
Shri, Mr Sharma just told me. It is no big deal.
Please, come out.
Won't you listen to me?
Please, come out.
Okay, I will send Anindo.
Thank God, you have come.
She won't stop crying. I could not help her.
Please, check on her. Go, go, go.
Shri, open the door.
Shri.
Shri, open the door.
Shri.
Okay, I am waiting. Take your time.
Wait! Wait! Coming!
I am coming. I am coming.
How was the party?
Why do you look so messed up?
What did that silly madam, say?
Is sir upset?
Hold this.
What is the matter, sister-in-law?
What happened, sister-in-law? Huh?
What happened, Shri?
Why did Annie walk off like that?
Yes, that's right. Sister-in-law?
Is everything all right?
Why are you looking so upset?
Just see Brishti ma'am, I dressed her up so prettily.
She looks so messed up. - Oh, you dressed her up?
What do you mean? She is looking so pretty.
Will you keep quiet? Kindly keep quiet, Kajol, please.
What happened? Why are you shouting at me? What have I done?
Will you please, keep quiet?
No, mother. She will not keep quiet.
She has not learned how to keep quiet.
It is my fault!
I have encouraged her to a point where she has crossed her limit.
Sister-in-law, please, calm down.
Please, tell me what happened?
What happened, sister-in-law? Please, tell me.
What happened sister-in-law?
What happened? Tell me. Hit me, if you want.
Slap me! Slap me!
But please say something. Why aren't you talking?
Oh, sister-in-law.
Hey, Kajol!
Say, something, sister-in-law. - Please stop crying, sister-in-law.
Please, stop crying. tell us what happened.
I just knew it!
If I get my hands on the psycho and immature woman!
If I could come face-to-face with her sister-in-law?
I would have physically attacked her. I am telling you!
How could I have known, sister-in-law?
I was just trying to help you.
Have I ever visited such parties?
Who the hell does she think, she is, huh?
She is acting up because she has trapped a sugar daddy!
Bit*h! She is a bit*h!
You are absolutely correct!
That is what she is. - Brishti.
Shri, it's high time, now.
Just pull up your socks.
Today, you gave them an opportunity to humiliate you.
Yes, sister-in-law. Mom is absolutely right.
Simplicity has no value in today's time.
Especially those bit*hes care a damn!
A bit*h! A bit*h of the first order.
Again?
Sister-in-law.
You must not cry.
Okay. You must not cry.
Go to your room, now.
And yes. Remember.
Tomorrow is a new beginning.
"Wake up early in the morning and go for a brisk walk."
"Then start jogging. Your husband is still asleep."
"Your husband is still asleep."
"Listen, sister-in-law, you don't have a choice."
"You need to workout. there are no shortcuts."
'All that at a go. Oh, no, dear! keep quiet."
"Sister-in-law, wear mini clothes and no sugar in your tea."
"I went to the market and got you sugar-free."
"You must have green tea thrice a day."
"And then there will come a new day."
"Come what may, but we want a"
"thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"We want you to have a great figure."
"Ugh! Dear, I cannot do all that."
"I cannot neglect my household."
"You will go to a multi-gym and eat eggs without yolk."
"No fries, only boiled. Shift to olive oil."
"Cycling, treadmill, cardio and workout."
"Benchpress, leg pull, Zumba or a dance school."
'I cannot do all that. Please, excuse me."
"Your dream of having an ideal figure will come true."
"An anti-aging cream to arrest aging."
"Once your makeover is complete"
"Mallika Sen will burn out of jealousy!"
'Hey, you! Just go!"
'She is getting into my nerves. Ugh!"
That is too much!
Ma'am, this is a wake up call for you.
You have crossed the borderline.
You really need to work hard.
Oh, by the way, are you diabetic?
Oh, my! Why? No, no! I am not diabetic.
I love to eat sweets and
in fact, I don't have any health problems. Say something.
Yes, yes, no problem. No, problem.
But ma'am, your sister-in-law was saying that you become
restless very easily.
You start gasping for breath. You feel fatigued.
Don't you get tired while working?
It's not like that.
Actually, I have a small child.
He is very young. My household and all that...
You understand.
Didn't we get a full family health check-up done last month?
Yes. - All my reports were normal.
Yes, yes, everything... - And...
On top of that, I don't even have thyroid.
Good. - Yes.
But.
Sister-in-law, please, listen to what she has to say.
So what if you do not have it now, you could get it.
How long does it take, sister-in-law?
She is right ma'am.
You can always get the tests again.
What's the harm? - Is this a gym or a diagnostic centre?
Sister-in-law!
By the way, what do you suggest?
Well. Where do I start from?
First of all, you must come every day. Almost...
Everyday? - Yes, every day.
I will make sure, she comes here every day. No
spicy, oily, or junk food.
No afternoon naps.
And one more thing. Do you drink, ma'am?
No! Not at all! - Not at all!
Very good. Another thing.
We must appoint a personal trainer for ma'am.
Definitely. - Why?
What is the need? I can manage it on my own.
Ugh! Sister-in-law. - Hey, I can manage.
All the machines are here. The others are doing it, just see.
It is not that easy, ma'am.
The right technique is very important for the desired result.
Sid is the man for you.
Yes, Sid.
Actually, I have heard really good things about him.
That is what all women say about Sid.
I will send him over.
And ma'am. Welcome to our family.
You are our responsibility, now.
Sid will take care of the rest.
Thank you so much.
Hey, Sudeshna. We will go to South City mall on our way back.
Yes, all right. I also have to shop for some things.
South City?
Hey, my hand cream is over.
Hey! New entry.
Why did you tell lies? - When did I lie?
Do I always sleep at noon? - Oh, come on!
Isn't the lady very clumsy?
I heard she will train under Sid.
Hey! Are you jealous?
Whatever. - As if you are not, honey?
Sid will just divide his attention. What else?
Hey! Speak softly. - Oh!
What's wrong sister-in-law? - Hey! But...
Hi.
Are you Sid? - Yeah.
Shrimati. Right? - Yeah.
How do you know my name?
No, Shelly. She told me to attend to you.
Don't you remember?
The other day at the market... Me and Kajol...
Hey, we were in a fight.
You bought all the ladysfingers.
Market. Market.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, I remember.
Yes, yeah. Pretty lady.
By the way, you meant ladysfinger? - Yes.
Okay. Okay, okay. So, how are you?
I am fine.
What a coincidence!
Happy coincidence. - Uh! Huh!
Do you know him?
No. I bumped into him at the market.
me and Kajol. - Oh! I see.
Hi, Sid, actually, I have heard a lot about you.
One of my friends' elder sisters worked out under you.
You have changed her, completely, you know.
So, you have to do the same with my sister-in-law.
I mean you understand, don't you?
I mean, I understand. But she is already so pretty.
But still, I will try to make her look prettier.
Sorry, my Bengali is really bad.
I am really sorry for that. - It's okay.
Thank you.
So, let's start tomorrow.
Absolutely. Absolutely.
Let's meet here at sharp 8 AM.
See you. - See you.
So?
"Gym, gym, gym. You will get trim."
"Keep working out and you will fulfil your dream."
"Cycling, treadmill, cardio and workout."
"benchpress, leg pull... Your dream will come true."
"Push-ups, hang on rods, and lift weights to"
"get a thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"We want you to have a great figure."
"Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"We want you to have a great figure."
"Push-ups, hang on rods, and lift weights to get a
thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
Excuse me, excuse me. Move!
Oh, dear! What's the hurry?
I don't have time to talk.
Oh, really! Are you going to the parliament?
No, I am contesting elections this year.
Don't you know? - Huh!
It's my first Bollywood dance class, today.
I am feeling very nervous.
What?
Are you joining a Bollywood dance class? Why? - So?
Brother, stay out of it. This is the in-thing now.
Have you understood? - Your breakfast is here.
Sister-in-law. Drink your fruit juice before leaving.
Sister-in-law! - Sister-in-law.
Listen. - One second.
I met Biswas in the market the other day.
Reva madam is very sick.
Please, go and see her once.
Yes, I will go. - At least, call her once.
I will drop by this week. - She is very tense about the book.
And you have been promising to go for so long.
Hey, just step aside.
Step aside, now.
You don't have to drink anymore. You can have it later.
Where is the bag? - Won't you eat breakfast with me?
Here, take this. You can eat breakfast later.
My phone, wait. - I am coming!
Hurry up! We are getting late.
Tell her I will visit her soon. - Oh, come on!
Let's go home.
Are you crazy?
Hey, my heart is beating very fast. - Hey, wait!
Nothing will go wrong, sister-in-law, I am here for you.
Let's go home. - Come on, come on, come on.
Please. - I said, no.
Sister-in-law. - I told you about the students.
So, which one of you is Shrimati?
She is. My sister-in-law.
Shrimati. - Okay.
Great. Come hither, lady.
Welcome.
Let me make you groove.
I cannot do anything.
My sister-in-law forcibly brought me here.
I think that is really very nice of her.
But I think you both are aware
that all my batches are full for this session.
But I think you can enrol in the kid's section.
That's all right. We don't have a problem.
He is asking me to join the kids. - Just wait.
Great.
So, I will make you do all the Bollywood moves.
Big! Big body language.
And, by the way.
I think you have got lovely voluptuous hips. Mamma Mia!
That is what I want to get rid of.
Sister-in-law, leave that to him.
Oh, sweetheart! You are in the right hands.
Okay?
See you tomorrow.
Buck up, guys.
I won't be able to do it.
Of course, you can.
- Please, let's just go home.
You have to come here from tomorrow.
"Dance, dance, dance, and you will have a great figure."
"Enjoy your life with freedom, dance, dance, dance."
"Salsa or classical... shape and babe,'
"do the Bollywood or do the twist if you could."
"Dance, jump, burn and shed to get"
"a thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"We want you to have a great figure."
"Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"We want you to have a great figure."
"Dance, jump, burn and shed to get
thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
What happened, Shri?
Are you all right?
I am unable to understand what you are doing?
If you continue this routine you will fall sick very soon.
Nothing is wrong with me.
I spent some extra time on the treadmill today.
My head is spinning.
I'll be fine. - So.
did you eat anything after your meal at noon, today?
No?
Really, what is the point in going overboard like this?
Wait let me ask Kajol to make you an ORS solution.
Hey, no! - Why?
I cannot have sugar.
Then all my effort will go down the drain.
Nothing will happen. I will lie down for five minutes,
I'll be fine. Don't worry.
You just stay with me, please.
Why are you doing all this? Who are you doing this for?
Why are you doing this. I am unable to understand Shri.
All right, now you lie down and rest properly.
Then let's go out for dinner tonight and have biriyani.
Will we have biriyani? For dinner?
Not today Annie.
Not today.
And listen, I am happy about what I am doing.
Don't worry about me. I will be fine.
We will go on another day. Please, massage my back.
Okay, didi.
Mithali.
Hey, Mithali. - What?
Have you heard the latest? - What?
Now, what?
Sid's dear Shrimati.
Has joined a Bollywood dance class.
Who told you?
One must keep up, sweetheart.
Hey, don't act up. Please, tell me, who told you?
Tell us.
She is in the same dance class as my daughter.
Don't tell me.
Sandy's steps.
I met her when I went to drop my daughter.
Hey, there she is. Madam is here.
Hi.
Hasn't Sid come yet?
Now that you are here,
Sid will also, come.
Meaning? - Oh, it's nothing.
By the way, how was your dance class?
You know, how Sandy is.
He puts a lot of pressure. He is very strict.
My daughter was saying, you are a wonderful dancer.
Oh, my! No, no, not at all.
I am still learning.
Hey, Shrimati. No, no, you must show us your moves.
Yes, yes, yes.
Really, I have just joined the class.
Hey, show us a few moves.
It's just us and no one else.
Come on, show us.
Yes, please. - Yes.
Hey, show us, please.
Oh, dear! I really cannot.
I have just attended a few classes. I don't really know much.
We were planning to enrol.
Is it? - Yes.
Please, do.
Join the class.
We will enrol.
But unless you show us,
how will we know whether or not we can do it?
If I can do it, anyone can. It's not difficult.
Then show us a few moves.
Show us. - Come on!
Show us.
Please. - Please.
Hey, show us, please.
What about the music? - Hey!
I have loads of Bollywood music on my phone.
One minute. - Play something.
There it is. - Really.
Yes. - Yes, please.
Yes, please!
All right.
Oh, wow!
Nice.
Brilliant!
Shrimati.
You danced so well, Shrimati.
No problem. No problem.
Look at me. Look at me.
What happened?
You know what? You have a very clean heart.
And that is very evident in your dance moves as well.
Yes.
What happened?
They cannot do it.
Let it go, okay. You danced very well.
So, cheer up. Cheer up. Now, give me a hug.
Come on. Come on.
Yes.
I haven't eaten your cooking in a long time, Shri.
Why have you stopped cooking?
What happened?
Can you hear me?
Hey, you!
I hear you.
You have changed, Shri.
By the way, Kajol asked you to call Reva.
Did you call her?
Shri.
Don't push yourself so hard for anything.
Please.
And you have started with something new as well.
Bollywood dance class!
Bollywood dance!
Why are you lying like that and laughing?
Sit up and laugh with gay abandon.
I am sure, you wanted to laugh the other day,
but you managed to suppress it.
The day I fell at your office party.
Your wife fell, and clearly, it is something to laugh at.
On top of that, you married an older woman.
Everyone calls me sister.
It's all very funny.
Don't lie down like that. Come. Come here.
Sit up and laugh out aloud with gay abandon.
Shri.
I don't think I can talk to you, now.
First, come back into my life again.
Get well.
Then we can discuss.
What?
Am I unwell?
Did you just say that I am unwell?
Has someone told you this?
Or is it another new thing like calling me, sister?
And what is your idea of staying healthy?
What should I do to stay healthy?
I should wake up in the morning and start slogging
I should focus on raising our son.
I must take contraceptive pills because you say so
and then I'll gain weight. If I go to the gym you will say,
don't put so much pressure on yourself. What did you say?
Don't be hard. Don't push yourself.
If I don't go, you will say why do you cook all day?
Go and do some exercise. Do this, do that.
You will do as you please.
And I will wake up in the morning, serve you breakfast,
have your lunch, eat dinner... that's all I should do, right?
Good night.
Masterji! What is this?
What is this?
Swastika Mukherjee was about to wear it to an award ceremony.
She has sent it back.
Do you even understand, what does this mean?
For Christ's sake! The area around the tummy is very loose.
I want you to rectify this right now.
Didn't you take the exact measurements?
What could I have done, tell me?
Madam was shooting
she somehow managed to give me two minutes.
So, I did what I could, at that time.
I don't want lame excuses.
Go to the workshop and fix it.
And listen, please, spit that disgusting thing out.
Go! - Hi, Tipsy.
Hello, hello, Brishti.
How have you been? Long time, no see.
Yeah. How are you? - I am always all right.
You know me. - Yes.
Hi. - Is she with you?
Yeah.
Were you talking about her on the phone? - Yes.
My sister-in-law, Shrimati.
Hello. Hmm.
I have reduced a bit.
It's not the size sweetheart, It's the attitude.
We will work on that.
Yes, I mean that is why I have brought her to you.
I mean, I know that you can do it.
Like, you have to do it.
Please, help me.
She needs a complete make-over.
Listen Shrimati, I need your undivided attention.
Complete coordination. - Hmm.
And trust.
Tipsy, she is all yours.
Thank you.
"Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"We want you to have a great figure."
"Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"We want you to have a great figure."
"Hurry up and pull up your sock and achieve a
thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."

"Thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
"We want you to have a great figure."
"Hurry up and pull up your sock and achieve a
thirty-six, twenty-four, thirty-six."
Oh, mom, are you still, sitting here?
And Anindo, aren't you ready yet? What are you doing?
What happened? Get ready and let's go.
I have been telling Annie since then, to come along with us.
But he is not listening to me.
Sister-in-law, let me see.
My God! You are looking fabulous. Just like a diva.
Is my hair all right?
You look so 'glamous.'
The word is, glamorous, Kajol.
Really, Shri.
You are looking so pretty.
You are looking very beautiful.
What's Annie? Look up.
Don't miss out on this.
Oh, papa. Papa, please come with us, papa.
Please, papa.
No, Kuttush. I am not coming today.
You all go and enjoy.
What are you saying, brother?
All of us planned to go for dinner.
Come on, please.
You guys carry on. I will come on another day.
Please, brother. - Please, sir.
Look, I have also dressed up.
Please, come along.
Papa, you have to come with us.
Listen.
We will wait, you
finish your drink and join us. We can all go together.
I just told you.
I will go some other day. You all carry on, today.
We are requesting you.
Let him be, Shri.
Come on, let us just go out.
Hey! Hey, Kuttush.
Let's go, let's go. - Yes, let's go.
Let's go, madam.
Come on, Shri.
How is that possible?
She has completely changed.
She is looking good.
She must have gone for some cosmetic treatment.
Hey, listen.
You guys should learn to appreciate good things.
Oh, no!
There goes!
What did you lose? - What else?
Sid. he just slipped out of my hands.
Oh, dear! What will you do now?
Hey, don't mock me, huh.
Hey, slow, slow, slow. - Don't try this on me.
Slow. Yeah.
Sudeshna. Done for the day?
Yeah. I am done with this gym.
Done with this gym?
What's wrong with her?
Let it go, Sid. - Yeah, yeah, okay.
See you.
Shrimati.
What have you done to yourself?
Hey! You look... You look so amazing, huh.
I mean... I can't take my eyes off you.
As they say in Punjabi, 'soni' 'kudi.'
That is how you look.
It's okay. - No, no, I mean it.
Please, stop. Don't embarrass me.
No. I mean, like seriously, you look amazing.
Thanks. - Yeah.
I have been wondering for a while...
I would like to talk to you.
And I think, this is the right time.
Tell me.
Anything serious?
Yeah, definitely serious.
Definitely, yeah.
Oh?
Spit it out.
No, no. Not here. Not here.
What are you doing tomorrow?
Can I take you out for a coffee?
I will tell you everything, then.
Eh... Coffee?
Tell me here. This place is good. We can talk here also.
Look, don't worry. I really want to discuss something with you.
But of course, it's your wish.
Eh... Okay, fine.
Tell me. Where and when should I come?
[Indistinct dialogue]
Sister-in-law. Sister-in-law.
Poor thing.
She is sleeping at noon after so long. She is murmuring rubbish.
Oh! Sister-in-law! - Yeah!
Oh, it's you? - Who else were you expecting?
What were you dreaming about, huh?
Excessive dieting is not good.
The body needs a little oil and spices.
I have lost my mind. I am not feeling good.
You have indigestion.
From tomorrow I will give you herbal water.
You will feel absolutely, fit.
Get me a cup of strong coffee.
But don't make it bitter.
And give me two of those...
What do you call that? Sugar-free.
Okay.
Okay, listen.
Since you had a bad dream,
Just cross your fingers and say sorry, three times.
Have you understood? - Just go from here, Kajol.
Okay.
Hi. - Hi, hi, hi.
Sorry, I got delayed.
No, no, it's okay, it's okay. Please, sit.
You are looking really gorgeous, today.
Thank you. - Amazing.
So.
What will you have?
Ice tea
without sugar. - Ice tea without sugar.
Wait, wait, wait. Excuse me. - Yes, sir.
Yeah. One ice tea without sugar.
Sure, right. - Yeah.
Thank you.
So, was it difficult to come here? - No.
Good.
By the way, the weather is good today.
I think it will rain today. What do you think?
Reva will feel very happy if it rains.
Reva?
It's nothing.
I also think it will rain today.
And I love rain.
I really love rain.
What did you want to talk about? Tell me.
That is what I am worried about.
I am at a loss on how to begin.
Oh! Is it very serious?
I mean, I don't know how you will react to it.
Look, Sid
please think before you speak.
So think and then speak.
Do you know, what I am about to say to you?
I think I do.
Then what is the problem?
Please, support me.
Hey, there are a lot of problems.
My family... My situation...
This is impossible. Don't behave like a child.
No, no, what is impossible?
What is the problem?
I look good, I am cute, I earn well and I come from a good family.
And I am about to open a chain of gyms.
What is the issue? - Hey, there are a lot of problems.
This is impossible.
You cannot tell me all this, Sid.
No, no, no, no, now I understand. Just because I am a non-Bengali...
So this is your problem. - Oh, my! No, no.
That is not the point at all.
There, she is here. Now, please talk to your sister-in-law.
Wait, wait.
Please, please, reason with your sister-in-law.
What are you doing here?
Hey, if she doesn't come, who will?
Look, your sister-in-law knows everything.
Listen, either you help us or else,
I will elope with her. I am telling you.
Why should I elope?
I mean, I am not a seventeen-year-old.
Sorry, sister-in-law.
Actually, I never got around to telling you.
Sid and I have been dating for the last two years.
But sister-in-law,
you will have to convince everyone at home. I mean,
mom and my brother.
I don't know, how they will react.
You must help us, sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law. Oh, sister-in-law.
What happened? Why do you have that blank look on your face?
Oh, sister-in-law, what happened?
Listen, you have to help us, sister-in-law.
You have to talk to everyone at home. - Sister-in-law!
Where are you going, sister-in-law?
"Listen, dear heart."
"Count your days, your time will come."
"Who knows what will happen now? I have finished all my work."
"Does life expect from me"
"to fall in love with it again?"
"Most people find"
"whatever they have lost."
"When life turns back to look at itself,"
"it finds a few smiling faces,"
"though they haven't achieved all they wanted to."
"And yet because they are happy, it feels fulfilling."
"It feels so fulfilling."
"Hey, listen, listen, listen,"
"dear, heart, heart, heart."
"Count your days,"
"your time will come."
"Who knows what will happen now? I have finished all my work."
"Does life expect me to fall in love with it again?"
"Most people find"
"whatever they have lost."
"When life turns back to look at itself,"
"it finds a few smiling faces,"
"though they haven't achieved all they wanted to."
"And yet they are happy."
"It feels so fulfilling."
"If life gives me another chance?"
"Memories..."
"Will float in a different space."
"If only I could go back in time."
"If life gives me another chance?"
"Hey, listen, listen, listen, dear, heart, heart, heart."
"Count your days."
"Your time will come."
"Who knows what will happen now?"
"I have finished all my work."
"Does life expect me to fall in love with it again?"
"Most people find whatever"
"they have lost."
"When life turns back to look at itself,"
"it finds a few smiling faces,"
"though they haven't achieved all they wanted to."
'And yet they are happy. It feels so fulfilling."
"It feels so fulfilling."
'At this moment we are standing outside Reva Dey's house."
'Reva Dey, whose recipe books are famous across the world...'
'All the Bengalis are mourning her passing away.'
'Her son, who lives abroad,
unfortunately could not be here today.'
'During her last moments,
her faithful employee was there by her side.'
'We came to know from him,
that she had been ill for quite some time.'
Mr Biswas.
What happened?
What else? She is no more.
You did not come to see her.
Go and pay your last respects.
What happened? - Where were you, sister-in-law?
I called you so many times.
Where were you, sister-in-law?
[Indistinct dialogue]
What has happened? - Kajol!
You did not call her even once?
Why? - Hey, Kajol!
I want to go home.
Come on, let's go.
Come on.
"My foolish heart."
"It lost itself somewhere."
"I am very unhappy today"
"at an odd time."
"I tried to live a dream."
"I want to go home at the end of the day."
"Let me try and find myself"
"in you today."
"What if I lose myself again if I step out of my world?"
"Everything comes back, but time."
"If I lose myself again,"
"everything comes back, but time."
"Just as you have forgotten yourself."
"You have forgotten the way back home.'
"Even my favourite colours seem drab..."
"I wonder why?"
"Unachievable dreams that fly high in the sky..."
"I will finally find peace in my heart."
"I hope my nights can find the much-needed sleep."
"What if I lose myself again if I step out of my world?"
"Everything comes back, but time."

Kajol!
Hey! Kajol!
Brother Biswas.
Please, come inside.
No, I don't have the time.
Actually, madam left this bag
for you. So, I came here to give it to you.
Oh! Okay.
On the day of her death,
she kept asking for you since morning.
I better take your leave. Actually,
I have a meeting with
madam's lawyer today.
We have to make a list of her property details
and we have to send it to her son.
Will you leave right away?
Please, come in for a bit. - No.
Take care.
See you.
'How are you, Shri?'
'I haven't seen you in a while.'
'You don't even call to talk.'
'Are you so busy, all of a sudden?'
'I miss your cooking, dear.'
'But of course, who knows'
'when you read this letter,'
'I may not be alive.'
'These days I intentionally skip my medicines once in a while.'
'I wonder why'
'but I feel like I have a heavy heart these days.'
'I spoke to Babu after a long time.'
'Just for a short while.'
'He is very busy.'
'He doesn't have the time to speak to his mother.'
'Everyone is so busy nowadays.'
'But you are different, Shri.'
'Please, don't become a part of this crowd.'
'You won't be able to keep up.'
'You must stay as you are.'
'Do you know, I finally finished the new book.'
'I did not include my recipes.'
"Some of your recipes that I had with me,'
'I send a select few to the publication house.'
'They loved it.'
'Innovative and at the same time'
'traditional and rooted.'
'They want to publish your work in three volumes.'
'I wanted to meet you to give you this surprise.'
'But you did not...'
'Cooking was not just my profession, dear.'
'I lived every moment with my food.'
'Do you know, I see myself in you, Shri.'
'You can do it.'
'To do things the way I did.'
'The love and care you have for food...'
'I have observed that in every moment.'
'I am leaving my last recipe book for you.'
'I would rather not publish it,'
'it is only for my Shri.'
'I am sending all the details related of the publication and'
'a cheque from them with this letter.'
'Please, do not let go of this opportunity, Shri.'
'Otherwise, I will feel very hurt.'
'This is my last wish.'
'Who knows'
'whether or not I will meet you before I pass away.'
'It will rain a few days.'
'Mark my words.'
'Take care, Shri.'
'My love to you.'
'Reva.'
Shri.
Hey, Shri.
Come to me.
Come.
- Huh!
I am sorry, Annie.
I think I am losing myself.
Please, pull me back.
You are not lost.
I don't know, what to do.
You are not lost, Shri, you are in my heart.
Hmm? Look.
Everything will be fine.
Everything will go back to normal.
Do you mean it?
Yes, Shri.
I have always loved you all my life
for who you are.
Shri, you are different.
In fact, I am different too.
And these differences makes us so very special.
Shri
this is your chance.
And you have to...
Shri, you must come back.
You must come back.
For Reva's sake.
For yourself.
For our sake.
Come.
Come to me, dear.
Come.
Hello everyone. I welcome you all.
Our publication house is one of the best in the country.
We had a long association Mrs Reva Dey.
Our combination has always created bestsellers.
But she is no longer with us.
But as they say, the journey of food should continue.
And we are extremely happy
and delighted to collaborate with
Mrs Shrimati Chatterjee. Give her a big round of applause!
Let us invite Mrs Shrimati Chatterjee on stage.
Let's welcome her.
Are you all right?
Please, come.
Over to you. - Thank you.
Hello.
I am feeling very nervous.
Thank you
for this opportunity of a lifetime.
And thank you all for coming here.
Shrimati.
Back in school, in my class,
there were three other girls with the same name.
My name is as ordinary as I am.
I fell in love with Anindo in college.
Then I got married.
Anindo is a few years younger to me.
Just a little.
But he has always been the dominant one in our relationship.
And then I went into my new household
with my mother-in-law, my sister-in-law, and Kajol.
And then, my son Kuttush came into my life.
My bundle of joy.
And like them
Rev was also very close to me.
My Reva.
I was lucky enough to have her as my neighbour.
She is my idol. My dream woman.
I have always had a penchant for cooking since childhood.
A knack of cooking, I guess.
I mean, a knack for cooking.
The first dish I cooked was a recipe from Reva's book.
I often did a lot of experimental cooking,
packed it into a tiffin box,
with a recipe note, I would send it to Reva.
Thank you, Kajol, for being my delivery woman.
And by compiling those recipes,
I am launching my book today.
'Heshel e Rokomali.'
Thank you.
Life does not work out as we wish.
Everything in my life was good.
But I got confused for a while.
I really wanted to become somebody else.
And in the process,
I lost myself.
I sort of lost my individuality.
Mallika, I really looked up to you.
I really wanted to become like you.
You are so gorgeous and confident.
Look, in an attempt to copy you, how
I tripped on high-heeled shoes.
It is not enough to wear good clothes,
one has to carry them.
And you do it with so much grace and poise.
Thank you for being in my life.
And Anindo, you were absolutely right, the other day.
Our differences make us special.
Thank you for accepting me the way I am.
For loving me so much.
For being my greatest support system.
And
sorry, Reva.
I was not by your side
in your last moments.
I... the way...
What I wanted to become... that is not the real me.
Eh... Gym.
Yes. - Yeah!
Bollywood dance class.
And the makeover, thanks to Tipsy and my sister-in-law.
I enjoyed doing all of this.
Thank you so much.
But...
I could not really change within.
I am the same old Shrimati.
The one who likes to cook all day.
I like to doze off at noon,
while reading a magazine at noon.
I like to sleep, actually.
And I love to dip and eat toast biscuits
in milk with loads of sugar.
I, Shrimati, love to be lazy
and love to manage my household.
I have understood that focussing on
managing a house is extraordinary.
I am extraordinary.
And all of you present here,
are extraordinary. We are all special, in our own way.
Whatever I wanted to do, all my life,
today, I could achieve it.
Why are you crying? Go and sit down.
