What was Grandpa thinking? Why fix the meeting here?
(Prithvi) Welcome to Hotel Good Morning Woods Villa.
Hello, kids! Both of you will repair this hotel.
Make it like it was before.
And whoever is more successful,
I'll give them all of my property.
-A working woman in a village. -We believe in doing our own tasks.
Servants don't have servants.
(Rawat) Chammach Chaalisi.
He's known to hit the head with a spoon 40 times
until the head bursts open.
(Himalaya) Let's hide him upstairs.
(Rawat) Chammach Chaalisi. What was the bounty on him?
-(constable) ₹10 lakh. -(Dev) Had I fixed the flooring,
then Chammach Chaalisi wouldn't have died.
(gentle music)
(crickets chirping)
Chutki, do you know something?
Last month in Haridwar,
Chhotu's mom's phone fell from the bridge.
Chhotu didn't think twice and jumped in.
-Then? -Let it be.
Let me tell her.
Then what? Chhotu was washed away.
He fell in Haridwar and was found in Rishikesh.
(laughing together)
Wow, Dev and Kalki.
Child labour... in the middle of the night
so no one finds out.
Genius plan.
Carry on, soldiers!
Keep up the good work.
(cheerful music)
Bring me down.
-(neon lights buzzing) -(Chhotu grunts)
-(Chutki) Hurry up. -(Chhotu) Let's go!
(upbeat music)
HIRING NOW FULL TIME
HIRING NOW TEA AND SAMOSA WILL BE SERVED
(Kripaal sighs)
Everyone is allowed only one samosa.
And tea will be served as soon as it's ready.
Instead of samosas, give me a few bun tikkis.
Instead of tea, pour me a large one.
Hey, it's an interview.
(chuckles) Not a hotel.
If it's not a hotel, then why are you hiring people?
(villagers laughing)
What are you saying?
Think before you speak, Kripaal.
So, we'll start with the interview now.
-Welcome, everyone. -Okay.
One by one.
Tell us about your work, about your experience.
The Indian Army.
Uttarakhand Regiment.
2016 batch.
I had filled out the form.
The Indian Air Force.
Uttarakhand Regiment.
Lieutenant General.
I had a dream of becoming one.
The Indian Army.
Oh, shut up. Hey, hello, this...
Uttarakhand Regiment. General.
"I almost became one." All that stupidity.
I have served for ten years in Garhwal Rifles.
(Kalki) Oh...
-(Dev clears throat) Sorry. -(Kalki) Sorry.
Piping hot food.
(Kripaal) Be relaxed.
Tell us about your strengths.
-My... Uh... -Yes?
-My... self-confidence. -Wow.
There's a lot of power in my blessings, dear.
I have given birth to twins even after my vasectomy.
Alcohol doesn't make me high.
Then what is your weakness?
(regretfully) Alcohol doesn't make me high.
I couldn't produce children before my vasectomy.
I have a lot of health problems. Rest everything is good.
-Come back once you're better. -My weakness?
(chuckles) My husband.
He is very handsome.
He has a Chinese stall in the city.
He is so handsome. I can't describe it in words.
Tell us what work you can do for us.
I can work as a receptionist.
I have studied English... in a Hindi-medium school.
-Next. -I'll provide security to your hotel.
-Next. -I can cook food in your kitchen.
Okay, next.
Oh! Do you also want a job?
Sorry, there are no vacancies left.
Let me know if you want one. You are a little underqualified.
But I will manage.
(laughing)
-Next. -Take your time.
You don't have to rush.
-Tell us your salary expectations. -My children's school fees,
the household expenses, along with our flat's EMI
add up to ₹1,250.
Considering all this, you can pay me around ₹25-30,000.
₹25-30,000?
-Two meals a day. -Next.
So, then... (screeches) What are you...
-Okay, thank you. -Thank you. You may go.
-Thank you so much. -Don't next... Whatever!
(birds chirping)
Because everyone else left after having breakfast--
What she means to say is that...
Out of everyone who came today, you are the most talented.
So, we welcome you.
Welcome to Good Morning Woods Villa family.
By the way, we are the family.
You are the employees of the family business.
-Kripaal. -Hmm?
(mutters) Yes...
Come here, buddy.
-Thank you, child. -Not child, but "ma'am."
Thank you, child ma'am.
Change your uniform quickly
before the guests see you in your clothes. Hmm?
Kripaal, tell them to follow my orders from now on.
-Okay? -(Kripaal) Hear that?
You have to follow madam's orders from now.
-Okay. -Thank you.
-Yeah.
-I'll see them off. -Okay.
(Badoni) Welcome to the inaugural ceremony of
Panchmoli's first and only bridge.
Finally, the villagers' hard work,
dedication and...
Nirmal Negi's money
has made this bridge a reality.
(public applauding, cheering)
So, to inaugurate the bridge,
I would like to call upon the one
because of whom our entire village is safe.
Welcome him with a big round of applause.
Mr. Himalaya!
(villagers applauding)
-Oh... -Oh, my!
(Himalaya) Ladies and gentlemen...
and all the sheep and goats.
-Applause. -(crowd applauding)
All of you, who have come here to honour me,
I wish that, in exchange,
you build a bridge between the young and the old.
(Himalaya) Look, there are two types of people in this world...
Oh...
Who's that hottie?
-Who? -This one. Right there.
You're into uncles now?
-Oh, it's a love story. -Hmm?
-Is it? -Yeah, it is.
(Kalki) Aww... These village people are so cute.
I love it.
(Hima giggling, laughing)
-Why aren't you buying ice cream? -(Dev sighs) Interesting...
-Applause! Awesome! -(public applauding)
Sir, hold this. Distribute it.
Wow, Mr. Himalaya. You shattered it to smithereens!
Both the coconut and the speech.
(Himalaya chuckles)
It reminded me of the King of Pithoraganj.
What do you want?
If the king could arrange some work for his people, then...
Look, talk to Dev and Kalki for that.
Nothing happens here without an interview.
But, Your Majesty,
whatever I've heard about your courage
leaves me awestruck. What a glowing face!
The same moustache. Wow, Mr. Himalaya.
-Wow. -Okay.
Enough with the flattery.
-Consider your work done. -It's done!
It's done! Applause!
Applause! Make way!
Give way! Make way! Applause!
His choice was very good, brother.
This sweater looks so good.
He brought it from far away.
Sister, I need a room.
We came here on a trek and there's no hotel nearby.
Please help me out.
It will cost ₹4,000 per night. Can you afford it?
(guest) 4,000 means 500 per...
-Speak in Hindi, not in Maths. -Works!
Works, ma'am. Come in, guys!
What? What's going on?
How will this even work?
Ma'am, we'll sleep in the same room.
-Sir... -No, I'm sorry.
Our hotel only has twin-sharing beds.
Please try, sir. We're students.
I can see that.
And we won't even use the heater. We don't need it.
We'll just spoon each other and sleep.
What do you mean?
Spoon each other, like this...
-This was never discussed. -Guys, listen.
It's nothing to do with you.
It's a policy decision. Please leave.
There must be some other property nearby.
You can all adjust there.
-Like a dorm or something. -No stress, guys.
Sushma, check them in and give them the keys.
And tell Kripaal to take their stuff.
-Thank you, ma'am. -Have a nice day, guys.
-A word? -No, I'm good.
-I insist. -Okay, sure.
-I'll see you guys. -Hmm.
-Do you have IDs? -Yes, we do have IDs.
Take it out and take a seat.
-Are you out of your mind? -Dev...
To run a hotel, we need guests who can give us good reviews.
Oh, come on, Kalki.
A group of single men are a menace to society.
-Haven't you watched Kaante? -Oh, come on. Look at them.
More people will come after seeing them.
-Them? -Yeah.
Not everyone's grandpa can charter a flight to Amsterdam
for their 18th birthday.
And in case you forgot...
customers should never be refused.
Okay.
Considering your past experience with animals, you take care of them.
You're the admin.
Meanwhile...
I'll get diesel for the generator.
Perfect. Spray some on yourself too.
-Love you, too. -Everyone does.
Come on, Sushma.
-(guests) Thank you, ma'am. -(Kalki) Of course.
Move it, man. No good cards.
You taught us how to play, and you lost five times in a row.
I am not liking anything.
Listen, don't keep the geyser on for more than ten minutes.
And don't call the reception again and again.
-Got it? Nothing here is for free. -(uplifting music)
Do you drink beer?
-It's Tuesday today, sir. -Oh.
-Then don't give it to him. -Let's go, sir.
(Dev grunting and gasping)
What the hell?
I have covered only 180 metres.
(panting)
Huh?
Thanks.
Oh.
Come on. Come on.
-Come on, Dev. -(bike honking and approaching)
Oh, wow! Grandpa's angel is walking today?
Should I get a palanquin for you?
What's your problem?
Huh? I'm out for a walk.
I thought I'd do some cardio.
Mind your own business, please.
I was on a delivery errand.
I thought I'd give you a lift.
But you're right.
I should mind my own business.
Hey, wait. One, one second.
Sorry.
On second thoughts...
I think I should take a lift.
-Okay. -Not that I need it.
It's my knee.
I fell off a horse while playing polo.
-Sit. -Thanks.
It'll cost you ₹100.
That's not called giving a lift but driving a taxi.
Hurry up or you'll have to pay the waiting charge.
-Hurry. -Fine.
Hey! One second.
Hey!
Hold it tight.
Yes. Come on, sit.
(screaming in panic)
(cheering together) Bottom's up!
-(loud cheering) -(Himalaya laughs)
Now, peg number two.
No, uncle. We're done.
Even doctors allow two pegs during a heart surgery.
In the operation theatre.
(laughs)
-Uncle, you're so cute. -Uncle!
-Do the honours. -Oh...
Dad.
-What are you doing? -What are you doing?
-Enjoying yourselves? -Yeah.
-Yeah, looks like it. -Uh...
Actually, dear, I was (chuckles)
trying to build a bridge between the young and the old.
Okay.
Yeah, I don't think that's required.
Instead, you should help me run this hotel.
Okay, Dad?
See you downstairs.
Now.
Fine.
(door slams shut)
Okay, guys.
Good luck searching for your soul.
-I'm fine with my spirit. -Your Majesty.
I am too small to say this, but the King of Pithoraganj
was known to do as he wished.
He wouldn't take his daughter's opinion in public.
-Badoni. -Yes?
I've kept you with me to praise me.
-Not to tell the truth. -I'm sorry, sir.
Even truck drivers are allowed four pegs.
And that too, while driving on the highway.
(all cheer loudly) Yeah!
(cheering continues)
(hisses)
(pieces clatter)
The witch is coming.
Sushma, don't say that.
Madam Witch is coming. Say it like that.
While you guys are playing a poor man's snooker here,
the guest in room number ten
asked for a towel an hour ago.
He had to wipe himself with a curtain.
It's lunch break now, ma'am.
You need to first prepare lunch for that, Mr. Negi.
Sushma, go back to the reception right now.
Negi, get the kitchen ready for lunch.
And, Bisht...
Put it back in the games room.
-Yes, I'm going. Hurry up. -Excuse me?
(sternly) Right now!
Ma'am, I just have to pocket the queen.
(Negi grunts no)
(Negi) It won't take much time. (exclaims)
(Kripaal) Hey! What's going on here?
What are you guys up to?
If ma'am is telling you to work, then work.
Do you get paid to play carrom here?
You're ruining the name of the village.
Come on, get up.
Come on, get up now.
(Bisht) Move faster or else madam will make him scold us again.
Sorry. It'll be fine.
Everything will be fine. I'll check upstairs.
(Hima) Just one more.
-Thank you, sir. -Thank you, sir.
Thank you. I'll see you next week.
-Let's go. -Salute...
-This road will go down, right? -Hmm.
Can't just deal with heights.
You know in modern civilisation, the roads are
down to earth, unlike...
You know, the royals and their regal tastes.
You won't understand.
I saw your regal taste today.
Tip and Top point?
Your tip and top boyfriend.
I have given you a bit too much lift.
I think you should walk.
Hey.
Come on! Your...
I mean, tall, fair
almost handsome boyfriend,
whom you sent a love letter to.
-What was that? -It was a receipt.
He was buying fruits from us.
Oh...
So, whenever someone buys fruits,
do you blush so much when giving the receipt?
Huh? Come on.
Huh? Come on...
Come on. Tell me what the deal is.
Is it serious dating
or friends with benefits type?
Hmm?
You really don't understand
what to talk to whom?
Do I look like the "friends with benefits" type to you?
Got it.
No one here can take a joke.
It wasn't even that funny.
Come on, man. I just...
I wanted to know how you started.
How did it all...
How did it all begin?
Tell me. Come on. I'm dying.
While swimming.
Sorry?
While swimming?
What do you mean?
(romantic music)
(Hima) When we were kids,
we used to cross the river and go to school together.
Then we used to dry ourselves in the sun together.
And together
we'd reach school, slightly damper than we left home.
Just the two of us.
It was so much fun.
Then once, in sixth standard,
he ate Maggi with my spoon.
-No way! -Then we started.
-Really? -(chuckles)
Aww. So cute!
You won't tell anyone, right?
How can anyone reveal such a big secret?
Who proposed?
Uncle Kripaal.
-I mean, he will do it. -What will he do?
Chandan has come to the village after seven years, right?
-Hmm. -And now both of us are grown up.
-Are you okay? -No, I just need a minute.
Your love story is so pious.
It reminded me of an episode of Malgudi Days.
I shouldn't have given you a lift.
-Let's go now. -Where?
I have to get diesel.
Otherwise, Kalki...
she'll taunt me so much.
-She called us again. Where is she? -Hmm.
Thank you for coming, guys.
It's the first day of our hotel,
and there are a lot of guests too.
So, because of this work, I didn't welcome you properly.
I've brought some gifts for you.
I'll be very happy if you'll accept them.
Please.
Wow! A watch?
-One with three hands! -Yes.
So that we're not late to work even by a second.
-No. -This perfume.
These city folks are repelled by the fragrance of our bodies.
-No, that's not true. -Okay!
So, the chameleon has shown her true colours.
Not chameleon, but Chameleon Ma'am.
(Negi) Return it.
-We don't want them. -No, but--
-Thank you. -We won't be sold cheap.
("Psycho Re" playing)
(guests cheering and hooting)
(guests singing along)
(guests cheering loudly)
(curtain falls)
-(glass breaks) -(fire whooshes)
(door breaks)
Who broke this door?
And what have you done to this place?
Let's move the party to the lawn!
(guests cheer loudly)
("Psycho Re" continues)
(cheering and hooting)
(music fades)
(Dev) We'll continue this.
Brother, fill this up with diesel.
And... tea?
-Yes. -Yes? Two cups of strong ginger tea!
Okay.
So, yes. We were discussing.
-(muttering) Let's not talk here. -Less tea leaves or more?
Less milk or more?
Less cardamom or more?
Sir, whatever good, normal tea that you have,
-just make that. -Okay.
(chuckles hesitantly)
You can ask for whatever you want.
He will make it according to his wish.
-I'm sure. Right? -Hmm. In our tea...
you'll find our love.
(Dev and Hima chuckle)
Okay. So, add a lot of your love and make the tea.
-Yes. -Yes? Thank you.
So, tell me.
When are you introducing me to your Charming Chandan?
I told you not to talk about it here.
This isn't the city. It's a village.
-You can't say such things publicly. -But--
I shouldn't have talked to you in the first place.
I was talking in codes.
-Charming Chandan and-- -Your tea.
Hmm. Thank you.
Hey!
Stop! That's my sign.
Stop right there!
-Where does he live? -Up there.
The blue house in the alley, left of the temple.
Temple... okay.
Thank you. Wait!
Hey, you forgot your canister!
(paper crumpling)
(intense music rises)
Kripaal?
-Kripaal! -Coming!
-Come here. -Oh...
-What is this? -Hey!
What has happened to this room?
Why hasn't anyone cleaned it?
This is...
The door is broken, Kripaal.
They broke the table.
Someone has even shit themselves here, Kripaal.
Where is everyone?
Where are all the lazy bums? Call them.
-Call them. -These guys took them downstairs.
Wait, I'll call them.
Yes, you go and call them.
They only listen to you
because they consider you as their boss.
No one listens to me here.
No, that's not true.
-Today is their first day. -So what?
I'm their boss, right?
Go now and tell them that, from now on,
they'll take all the orders from me and not from you.
It doesn't work like that, ma'am.
The boss is the one who is respected by everyone.
We can't force them to respect you.
(melancholic music)
(music fades)
-Listen. -Yes?
-Is Chhotu your son? -Yes.
Call him out.
He stole the signboard from my hotel and ran away.
He's a thief. Bloody crook. Call him.
Chhotu, come out quickly.
-What are you doing? -What happened? I was studying.
Hey, don't lie. Since when did you start studying?
Bring back everything you have stolen from them.
-Bring them out quickly. -I didn't steal.
-Don't lie. Let your dad come... -Don't beat him.
-He will teach you a lesson... -Okay, listen.
-Calm down. -(woman continues to scold)
Listen, what are you doing?
Beating him won't help.
You won't realise it now,
but the kid will hate you when he grows up.
Come here.
Why do you steal? Hmm? Do you want to go to jail?
-Should I send you to jail? -No.
Apologise.
-Sorry. -Go and bring the signboard.
(Chhotu's mother) Bring it quickly.
I apologise to you on his behalf.
No, it's okay.
Actually, when "Good" is removed,
the hotel's name sounds very awkward.
Okay.
No, don't hit him. Scold him.
But do scold him.
Finally.
Do all the kids in your village steal?
No. Chhotu is the only one.
If I was there, I would have slapped him.
That's why I let him get slapped first.
-And then stopped his mother. -Very...
(melancholic music)
(guests cheering)
Hey, bring me whisky!
(Kripaal) Kalki ma'am, you are here!
These scoundrels have taken over the entire hotel.
And your dad...
He is in their control, too.
Go and tell your workers...
who only listen to you.
Because I have lost again, Krips.
Dev will get this medal too.
You are just stuck in...
-(guests cheering and hooting) -(Kalki) Party!
Get lost.
Madam, I think that,
if you save this hotel today,
then, from today, these donkeys
will always listen to you.
Full boss.
-Hmm. -(whispers) Boss...
Yes.
(mutters) Boss.
Drink as much as you want.
Do whatever you want.
It's your brother's hotel. Cheers!
He is lying.
-(everyone laughing) -(power shuts down)
Who turned off the lights?
(footsteps approaching)
Your mother
and the boss of this hotel.
(yells) Leave my hotel!
("Switty Tera Pyaar Chaida" playing)
(fire whooshing)
("Switty Tera Pyaar Chaida" continues)
(scooter engine revving)
Umm...
Well, uh...
If you don't mind,
if you are not in a hurry to go home,
can we sit here and chill for a while?
I mean, only if you like.
(engine shuts off)
(Dev groans)
-(crickets chirping) -(river flowing)
Hima, are you okay?
You have been quiet for a long time.
Have you forgotten how to speak?
Say something.
Don't lose heart.
I am sure Pankaj will come back to you after his break-up.
Who is Pankaj?
Chandan.
Sorry.
But Chandan
will also come back to you after his break-up.
(both chuckle)
If you hadn't saved Chhotu from getting beaten up,
then I wouldn't have ignored this.
Thanks.
-Can I ask you something? -No.
-Please. -Okay.
(chuckles)
Like Chhotu, you must have gotten
a lot of beating from your mom, right?
-No. -I wish she had.
Then you would have been better.
(Hima chuckles)
They must be with you to beat you.
She isn't...
Even my parents are no more.
Hey, Hima.
It's not a competition, okay?
(giggles)
No.
Really.
I lost Mom when I was two.
And Dad when I was three.
There was a photo.
I lost it in the floods.
That's all. Uncle Kripaal raised me.
And you know, I used to think Kripaal is your father.
He is more than a father to me.
Okay, tell me honestly.
Don't you feel like calling Pank...
calling Chandan and abusing him?
You know, tearing up his photo and burning it.
All the filmy stuff.
-No. -Really?
It's not Chandan's fault.
Today...
everything is clear.
Like what?
(Hima) When we'd return from school,
we'd come swimming, walking,
drying our clothes.
I always thought Chandan and I...
we are made only for each other.
We were never alone.
I don't know why I thought
that Chandan and I...
will marry each other.
I feel so stupid.
(both chuckle)
(Dev sniffs)
Listen, don't be too hard on yourself, okay?
Love, romance...
These are all things that are beyond reality.
Hence, we fall in love, right?
The deeper the love...
the further from reality.
What?
-Who is this in front of me? -(both laughing)
Ms. Hima, the thing is...
-Hmm. -Whether a city or a village...
-Hmm. -...everyone suffers a heartbreak.
(both chuckles)
No, but seriously, now that you're in reality...
you must be bored.
But don't worry, I'm there.
We can be friends.
-Hmm? -With benefits.
(laughing)
-It's cold, man! -Feeling cold already?
-City boy. -It's too cold!
Let's go, please. I'm done for the day.
Please come.
(crickets chirping)
Please forgive us, sister... madam.
I follow all your orders, madam. They don't.
By morning, I want this hotel to be so clean
that it feels like we're celebrating Diwali here.
-A small celebration or a grand one? -I don't care.
This hotel should be clean.
It will be done, ma'am.
-Hey, Badoni. -Yes?
-Get it done. -Yes, sir. Yes, madam. It'll be done.
Kripaal. Please come over here.
(Kalki's VO) Happy endings aren't the truth of life.
It is a talent.
The talent to be able to find happiness in a sad ending.
The talent to pardon a thousand mistakes
and moving on.
Talent to keep up the hope
that tomorrow might be less horrible than today.
Himalaya, weren't you ashamed to party with kids
who can pass off as your grandkids?
Anyway...
I will give a medal to that person
who saved the hotel from ruin.
And the winner is...
Kalki.
(kisses) Thanks, Grandpa.
Okay, kids, see you next wee--
(power outage)
What happened?
(eerie whoosh)
-(Himalaya) What was that? -(Dev) I don't know.
Did you see that?
(Kripaal) I saw something for sure.
(eerie music rises)
(Kalki) From tomorrow, all of you will work overtime.
-Each one of you. -There's a huge problem.
It's a four-day job. How can it be done in two days?
Please try.
I have to micromanage everything.
Enough is enough! Let us all come together and strike.
(Himalaya) Wow, what a beautiful place!
This leopard came here after listening to your bad songs.
(shushes)
How'd you get out of here as a kid?
Someone told me today, "Live in the present, not the past."
I have understood your problem.
-And I have a solution for it. -Negi!
Tell me the truth. What happened?
This is all your fault.
(leopard growls)
We are done for. Help!
