- Naina. - Hmm?
This new client of mine...
- He hates war games. - Hmm.
He thinks, playing war games
is bad for children's psychology.
Sounds sensible to me.
Don't introduce him to my dad.
Sambo, please help. I can't reach.
It somebody else was my husband,
he would've lifted me to help me.
It hasn't even been a month
and you are already thinking about another husband.
Why? Don't you imagine some other girl?
I do.
About whom?
Your toughest opponent, Rashmi Chatwal.
What do you imagine about her?
That I'm between the two of you...
- Yes? - Acting as a referee.
Both of you are having a match.
And you are beating the living daylights out of her.
Why? Did you think I imagine romance?
Listen, the other day you asked me
how powerful my forehand smash is.
Hmm.
You just dare to imagine a romance with her
and you will find out how powerful it is.
Why should I make any effort to imagine someone else
when I have such a beautiful wife?
That's the problem. You don't want to make any effort.
Your client is coming, but I am the one who's cleaning the house.
Darling, love is all about being there for each other.
Whenever you play a match
I'm always there to cheer you on.
Couldn't you have your client meeting outside somewhere?
- Why did you invite him home? - Well...
In order to go out I'd have to get ready.
Then go down in the elevator.
Then take a taxi and go to the meeting place.
I thought, instead of doing so much
I'd rather invite him home.
Besides, the client wants to get to know me personally
before we discuss work.
- Darling. - Hmm.
This client is very affluent.
If he likes my work
then I could get an assignment worth a few hundred thousand.
So tell me, how else can I help you?
- You need to disappear. - Huh?
I will keep getting distracted if you stay at home.
You go to your mom's place.
She'll be happy too.
And I'd be able to conduct the meeting with focus.
Man! Who has arrived at this time?
Please check. I'm going to bathe.
- Mother! - Naina.
- My son Sameer. - Sameer has gone to bathe.
Can I help?
I have lost my charger.
And my phone is completely discharged.
- Can you give me your charger? - Sure.
- What is this? - Mother, it's a cat.
I thought, it's a monkey
who is pretending to be a cat.
I know that. I'm asking, why is it here?
Mother, it's a Feng Shui cat.
You know, for good luck?
You are new to the family so probably you don't know.
- A cat... - A cat bit Sameer when he was a child.
He is afraid of cats since then. I know this, mother.
Cats don't bite,
it clawed him.
Yes, same difference.
Therefore, it's not kept outside.
It's kept hidden in this box.
Why did you keep it in the first place? Throw it away.
Mother, my mom gifted this to me.
I can't break her heart.
Can you hurt Sameer's feelings to keep her from feeling hurt?
Not at all.
Sameer has a problem if this cat is front of him.
If he doesn't sees it, he is absolutely alright with it.
Did Sameer tell you that?
Mother, you are not supposed to say everything.
We love each other.
I know Sameer very well.
Naina.
If I ever want to know anything about Sameer
then please tell me.
Sameer!
- Sameer. - Hmm.
You told me that your mom is a law graduate.
- Yes. So? - Not true.
She is a post graduate, not in law,
- but in taunting. - Don't say that, Naina.
She got her PhD in that.
All I said was that I know you too well.
She got terribly offended.
Oh! In that case, you better watch out.
She will want to show you
that she knows me much more
than you know me.
Is that so?
I accept the challenge.
Why did you grab me?
You just watch, Sameer Shastri,
I will win this match.
Oh, darn! Who should I cheer in this match?
Thank God! Naina!
Today you must spend time with us.
- That's why I'm here, dad. - Oh!
No.
Mom's ghost summoning Ouija board.
What is it doing here? Didn't you throw it away?
Your mom brought a new one.
She got it under a scheme where she gets one for one free.
There are two boards!
There's one board but two ghosts will be summoned.
Invoke one and two will appear.
I just don't know how to handle this.
Dad.
You undertook so many missions so bravely
and you are scared of harmless ghosts.
They are invisible!
I would finish the enemies in no time
if I could see them.
But where should I shoot the darn ghosts?
I will meet you later.
Naina, you...
Why couldn't I hear?
VK!
I can hear.
Coming.
'The wife divorces the husband when he refuses
to eat home cooked food.'
Oh boy!
I am not that lucky.
Can you smell that stench?
No, I can't smell any stench.
What's that on your face?
It's cow dung. I'll remove it soon.
No, don't remove it at all.
Thanks to that,
your face is bearable to look at, otherwise...
It's just stinking a little.
That's not possible.
It's pure cow dung.
Pure cow dung?
As soon as the cow produced it,
I caught it in mid air before it could reach the ground.
Otherwise, the cow dung would've gone bad.
God, what should I do about this man?
You should eat some cow dung every day.
I do it eat every day...
The food prepared by you.
There's the doorbell.
Don't be afraid. It's me, not your mother-in-law.
But, father...
What happened to you?
Don't ask.
This happened because of Santosh.
- Your lemon plant? - Yes.
I was trying out a new medicine on it.
Then an insect stung my face.
- This is its treatment. - Oh!
Listen.
The battleground is ready.
Hello, mother!
Oh, wow!
Sameer used to ride a bicycle!
Didn't he tell you that?
Never mind. I will tell you.
I bought a new camera when Sameer was 12 years old.
I took the first photo of him.
But he fell down from the bicycle as soon as I took the photo.
Oh my God! Was he hurt?
Not badly.
But don't feel hurt about the fact
that he didn't tell you about it.
Have you ever had asafoetida poppadums?
No, right?
I'll get some for you.
Mr. Sameer Shastri, IGDS.
Game Designer of the year, 2016, '17 and '18.
I've heard a lot about you.
- So, I... - Aditya.
- Come in, please! - Thank you!
Wow!
- Nice home. - Thank you. Please have a seat.
- Sameer, I'll come straight to the point. - Please.
I want to hire someone
who is not just a good game designer
- but a good person as well. - So important.
So, do you mind answering a few questions?
- Sure. Ask away. - How sweet!
Do you like animals?
- I love animals. - Wow!
I go to the zoo 3-4 times a month.
Zoo?
Do you know, keeping animals in a zoo is a crime?
Just because they can't speak, that doesn't mean humans should
put them in cages.
Why do you go to the zoo?
To protest.
To protest?
Shut down the zoo!
Down with the zoo.
Animal rights.
What are you doing on the 26th of the month?
- Nothing. - You must come for our next protest.
I will. I would love to come.
Anyway.
Which animals do you like?
All of them. All animals. Big, small,
every animal. Except cats.
Cats are too selfish.
Me comes first even when they 'meow'.
That's what some lousy kind of people say.
You know?
I personally think,
cats are wonderful animals.
Yes. Meow. They are wonderful.
Sometimes, I feel that they are not even animals.
They are humans.
- Right? - Yes.
So cute.
VK.
Today, I'm going to have you talk to your dad's spirit.
What day is it?
- Tuesdays! - Oh no!
Dad used to observe a vow of silence on Tuesdays.
It's no use summoning him today.
- Let's summon him some other day. - Sit down, VK.
Sit down.
Please sit.
Your dad's spirit is waiting.
Wait a minute.
Let's call Mr. Shastri.
How will Mr. Shastri's spirit come? He is still alive.
Manjari.
Let us call Mr. Shastri who is still alive.
He talks to plants.
He will talk to dad as well.
I'll be back in a minute.
The spirit of VK's dad,
kindly be on hold.
This is Diana.
- My princess. - Hmm.
This used to be my cat.
She passed away last year.
This is her model.
- Who... - I made it myself.
It's perfectly made.
Yes.
Sameer, I want to have a game made in the memory of Diana.
But before we get into that,
I would like to know,
what are your food preferences?
Well, I am pure-veg.
Pure-veg.
In fact, sometimes
I feel bad while eating vegetables.
- Why? - Because trees and plants
also have life.
- I don't even eat chickoo. - Why?
Because it was the name of a rabbit.
Of course.
Wow!
So sweet, Sameer. Sameer.
What do you think about making war games?
Aditya, if you want me to make war games
then you have come to the wrong address.
I quit my last job
because the company wanted me to
make war games.
So I had to quit.
If that is the case...
Sameer.
But I'm also a professional, you know,
and professional ethics should be flexible.
Like, Yoga.
Sameer, our minds are so alike.
- I hate wars. - I hate wars.
- In fact, I hate violence of any kind. - Me too.
Sameer.
Now I have begun to know you.
- So let's get down to business. - Yes.
Yes.
Oh no.
Now don't say that Sameer didn't tell you about this cartoon.
- Sameer... - Listen, mother.
It's very simple.
You know more about Sameer's past.
I know more about Sameer's present.
Well, Naina...
The present can change at any time.
But the past stays permanent.
Right?
You see, Sameer never failed any exams in the past.
Now a game he made has failed.
Mother, that happened because
the client didn't like
- the guns which Sameer designed. - What?
Curse you, VK.
Why did he leave?
I don't even know why he had come.
Wow!
- Sameer, your work is amazing. - Thank you!
Sameer, I think, I've found the perfect person to develop my game.
Shall we talk about the money?
1.5 million advance.
The remaining one million once the game is developed.
Okay?
2.5 million!
Isn't that enough?
Water? Water?
I didn't even offer you water.
- No. - I'll just get it for you.
- No, Sameer. Don't bother. - No, I'll go and drink it for you.
- For you! - Yeah, of course.
Thank you!
- Hello! You? - Hello!
VK Sarnaik.
Ex RAW.
Sameer's father-in-law.
Oh! Welcome!
Sir, are you Sameer's client?
- Yes. - Ah.
Oh, no!
Why did you bring a gun?
This is not for you. This is for him.
Why are you scaring him?
I am trying to impress him, not scare him.
He is already impressed.
Sir, you rejected Sameer's last game
because the guns' designs were not authentic.
Right? But this time
I will help him.
Right?
Sir, this time
we will designs guns for you
that a single bullet from them
would blast the heads of 5 people off.
Just like...
Brain out!
He is impressed.
Can't you see?
Brilliant idea! Sir.
We will design guns with night vision.
Sir, just imagine.
People are sleeping peacefully
on the other side of the border.
A bullet comes...
Zip, phat! Dollop.
Brain out!
I told you, he is impressed.
We will design a gun with a silencer.
Just imagine, sir.
On the other side of the border,
people are strolling in a garden.
A bullet comes...
- Brain out? - Correct.
He understood.
Sir, if you need me, I'm right next door, yeah?
See you, sir. Sameer, your game is sold.
Congratulations!
- Sameer. Sameer. - I'm so sorry.
What was that? What was that?
And you were saying that you quit
the company because of a war game assignment.
Your father-in-law said,
- the client rejected your game. - Well...
- His brain is out. - I know.
Aditya, I'm telling the truth.
I designed bad guns on purpose so that
the war game won't be made.
Yes. And I had to quit the job.
Aditya, please don't go.
- I have to go. - No, you have to listen to me.
- I must go. - You must understand, Aditya.
I need to pee.
Dear, the school you've studied in
that woman taught the principal of that school.
You are her daughter-in-law.
She knocked out her own mother-in-law.
Dad, I can win this match
- if you help me. - How?
Tell me something about Sameer
that only you know
and mother doesn't know.
Something only I know...
Yes!
Sameer used to keep
adult books, erotic pulp fiction, in his hostel room.
I know about this, but she doesn't.
- Father! - Sorry!
Let me think of something else.
Yes!
Sameer came covertly
to Kanpur in 2015
to attend his friend's wedding.
She doesn't know that, but I know.
What?
He did come to Kanpur,
not to attend his friend's wedding,
but to watch a cricket match between India and New-Zealand.
He lied to you so that you wouldn't cling to him.
Clean your face and bring fruits from the market.
I can't, for another 3 hours...
It's ruined.
What are you looking at, Santosh?
You?
Your dad.
Do you have any fruits?
They are in the kitchen. Take them.
- Who is that? - My dad.
He says,
no matter how neighbors are,
we have to be good to them.
Wow!
Wow, Sameer.
Now I know, how you have such a good upbringing.
How?
From your parents.
Yes.
A person can't go wrong
if his parents are so well bred.
You didn't tell me you have such tasty chicken at home.
Chicken?
How did a chicken dish end up in my house?
By the looks of it,
it didn't come flying here. Take a look, mister.
No!
It's a chicken, not a dinosaur.
Please take it with you.
Whatever it is, take it with you.
- Take it with you. Take it. - Alright.
I'm taking it but don't complain later
that I finished the entire chicken alone.
Aditya, I have no idea.
I have no idea
- how the chicken came to be here. - Sameer Shastri!
How could you keep that from me?
Even I didn't know that we have chicken at home.
Who is talking about chicken?
- We have that every day. - Huh!
Why did you never tell me that you burnt a tree in childhood?
What tree?
There was a huge tree in Mr. Tripathi's yard,
you burnt that. Remember?
He burnt a tree!
No. Actually,
it's not like I burnt that tree
with a matchstick.
Yes, he burned it by launching a rocket firecracker.
What?
Mom told me that.
Naina.
I made you throw away a little cat
so you brought a big and ugly cat model.
Throw it away.
No!
Sameer, I was completely wrong about you.
You broke my heart.
- Aditya, please! - Sameer.
You don't deserve to design Diana.
Understood?
Aditya.
I'm sorry.
I am not who you expected me to be.
My client has gone
with a advance check
of Rs. 1.5 million.
Are you guys happy?
I am sorry, Sameer.
I shouldn't have been offended by Naina's comment.
No, I am sorry, mother.
I should not have over-reacted to what you said.
Actually, I am sorry.
I should not have brought a gun to your meeting.
I am sorry too.
But which fault of mine should I mention?
None of you are at fault here.
It's actually my fault.
I should've kept the door locked until the meeting was over.
Don't be so surprised, Sameer, that I am back.
I would've left with a wrong opinion about you
if I had not met this gentleman outside.
What did you do, dad?
You know, he was talking to plants?
He has even named the plants.
I have never met a truer tree lover than him before.
Oh!
Then I learned
that he is your father.
Sameer, don't you worry.
I have explained everything to him.
Yes!
Hmm.
I told him that the tree got burnt by accident.
It was the festival of Diwali.
A rocket firecracker collided with the tree and the tree got burnt.
Yes.
The cat.
A cat clawed Sameer when he was very young.
- Therefore, he has a fear of cats. - Oh yes.
As far as the chicken dish is concerned,
well, Sameer is vegetarian.
Yes, I know.
His wife, Naina eats chicken.
She likes it very much.
She needs the protein.
Correct. Right.
I came back to say sorry.
I misunderstood you.
I want you to
develop this game.
Sameer, if you develop this game
then I will feel
that Diana is still alive.
I will be able to talk to her.
Oh! You want to develop this game because
you miss Diana and you want to talk to her?
- Yeah. - Oh!
What's the need of developing this game, then?
I can summon Diana's spirit whenever you want
and you can talk to her.
Is this possible?
Yeah, of course, it is possible.
I often assist VK in contacting his dad's spirit.
Right, VK?
Does she?
I'll prepare for it.
- Please follow me. - I will.
- Yeah. - Coming.
Sameer. Sameer.
You're such a lucky person.
Your family is priceless.
- Dad. - It's ruined.
