Here, hold this. Ouch.
Hurry up, mom. It's a Sunday.
I've to go play snooker and freshen up. - You can go play snooker.
Every time you want to buy vegetables...
...I am the only help you can find at home!
Stop with the blabber.
You know your siblings go to work and get back home tired.
Should I deprive them of a Sunday?
I go to the college six days a week too.
I too get only one day to get some rest, mom.
As if you are doing any hard work at the college.
Everyone goes to the college to take it easy.
Constantly being on Facebook.
How much for the onions? - Rs 30 a kilo, ma'am.
As if! Give them to me for Rs 20 a kilo.
Greetings! How are you? - Greetings!
You brought him to buy vegetables, too? - Well...
...I have to get him on Sunday. Are you alone? - Hey.
How are you, Salma? I didn't notice you.
Greetings, aunt.
Greetings. Oh your glasses.
Sohail, greet aunt. - Hello, aunt.
Greetings, my son.
You didn't inform us about Nofil. - Mom...
...can we go home? We have to go cook food.
Be quiet! The food will get cooked. What is the big hurry?
So, what did I say?
Speak to him! He is a good boy.
I will speak to him, aunt. I will.
Don't worry. I am going after him to do that.
You will see. Some day...
...I will get at least one alliance formed. By God!
God bless you for saying that! May you savour the most...
...sweet dishes to celebrate!
Stop! How much will you feed me? I will get diabetes!
Mom, we're getting late. Let's go home.
I have to go or she will keep cribbing.
He wants to go play snooker too.
Goodbye. - Goodbye.
Mother, let's go. - Let me get that.
Come on, let's go ahead.
What is this, mom? You stop to talk at any random spot.
Consider where you are and who is with you. - Who is with me?
I am with you, mom!
You just began to talk to her!
Who are you anyway? The queen?
Is this the first time you have seen them?
The onions were selling at...
...Rs 20 per kilo.
We will take potatoes too. - Her son was with her.
So what about it? Her son was bound to be with her.
You don't care about me! Her daughter was around...
Why should I care?
Don't you see how I am looking? Look at me!
So that's what it is.
Why don't you say that? - What do you mean by that?
Sobia is right.
What did she say?
Smile my darling, and I will tell you.
Come on! - Why would you do this in public?
I told you so! Something is going on.
It's something major! But no way.
Sobia is young and who will listen to her?
I have never seen Sohail like this.
He gets scared when she comes near.
Today he said it. 'Did you see how I am dressed?'
Mom, don't laugh! You should be scared.
She is already controlling him so much!
Why should I be scared? She would be my only daughter-in-law.
She should rule the house.
Right! You will make her rule.
And all the chambermaid's task are for Sobia!
No, dear. God willing, you will be gone by then.
I won't bring her while you are here so you can make her miserable.
Will you really get Sohail married to her?
Speak softly. I will.
But Sohail won't even get to know about it.
What do you kids call it? A surprise!
'Where were you?'
'I am right here.'
'Where were you?'
'I am having lunch. I got late at McDonald's today.'
'Did you eat breakfast?'
'Breakfast?'
'What do I say about that?'
'I am eating breakfast right now.'
'In Starbucks.'
'What are you eating?'
'Coffee latte and salmon wrap.'
'I love it. When I go to Starbucks I eat the same thing.'
'Let me not talk too much about eating.'
'Or I will get caught for no reason at all.'
'I love you.'
'I love you too.'
I spoke to him.
He didn't seem very interested.
There must be some reason why.
But my friend, no one gives a reason.
Just assume that people have become greedy.
That's quite true, too.
I have to say something if you don't mind.
When did I ever mind anything you said?
When it comes to alliances and verifying facts...
...and all those nitty-gritties, you have...
...waited too long for your three elder kids.
But...
We never had any decent proposals.
And this is basically about fate.
Yes, of course it is.
But what about your own opinion.
Now tell me. I offered you so many proposals over 12 years.
Whether they were for the boy or girls...
...you let them all go for some weird reason or objections.
Forgive me, now.
The boys who were too good for you...
...are flying high and doing very well for themselves.
Anees...
...kids don't listen to parents.
Yes, that is another major issue.
Earlier parents didn't listen to their kids.
Now kids don't listen to their parents.
Let's forget about all this.
Tell me, what about the shop?
I have no plans yet. I'm still thinking. - Okay.
I know that you like me have no say in your family.
For the first time in life, Tanzeel spoke to me like that.
And he left in a very bad mood.
Forget about him.
So what if he went away? You're well to get rid of him.
How can I get rid of him?
He is a true and loyal friend of mine.
Whenever I need help he is always there.
So he will come back after a week or so.
As he always does.
I called him a couple of times.
He won't even respond to me.
He didn't even call back.
You don't take his call so often and don't call back.
That's me!
But why is he doing it?
Why is he giving me attitude?
What are you doing, brother? Let me do this.
I can do my own chores.
Are you angry with me?
No.
Why should I be angry?
Okay, take this.
What should I do with this?
I got some new perfumes for myself.
So you can keep these old ones.
This is empty.
It's not, it's filled.
Mom is right about you.
You don't see what you have.
But these are for men. What do I do with them?
Perfume is perfume.
There is no gender bias in it.
Take it or leave... - No.
I will use it as a room spray.
Okay, listen...
Listen to me.
So...
...what is courage?
The opposite of cowardice.
I know that too.
I am not asking you for opposites or synonyms.
Tell me what is bravery?
Doing what one wants.
I see.
Doing what one wants is being brave.
And not doing what one wants...
...is cowardice.
Am I right?
'Nothing is wasted in our house.'
'It's given to me. I don't know why everyone thinks...
...that something useless to them is useful to me.'
'I have the most stuff in this family.'
'And that is only because I get everybody's leftovers.'
'I don't know where I learnt this way of saving.'
'And why did I learn it anyway?'
'Oh! Gucci perfume!'
'This is Nofil's favorite perfume.'
'This is so nice!'
'Someone's cast offs...
...are not useless, every time.'
What do you want, sir?
Do you have Nutella Chocolate Fudge cake?
Sit, I will bring it.
I will take one.
Oh, my!
'Natalia's favorite cake.'
I have applied for leave.
Is that right? For one week? - Yes.
Will it get approved? - Yes, it will.
They said so. - Hello, Ms Shabana. How are you?
How was the poetry recital, Mr Jehangeer?
What? It was very nice.
Let's just say...
...I am being immodest but it went well.
Well. You didn't invite me or I would have come.
Forgive me, I will invite you the next time.
By the way, I saw you on the TV.
In the highlights for the recital.
Really? It was covered by many channels.
Ms Shabana, can I have 2 minutes? Please don't get upset.
Yes, tell me. What is the matter? - Nothing is the matter.
I just wanted to tell you that tonight...
...they will telecast my recital on channel 42.
So please do watch.
I've told you so many times.
I am not interested in poetry.
Why must you come around asking me to listen to poems and verses?
I don't have the time for that.
I can't surf the channels for your recitals.
And they would be the local channels. - No.
I was just trying to say that if you...
...have some time and you're not too busy...
...you can watch it. - It's not about being busy.
It's about choice.
Even if I am free, I won't watch your recital.
Why don't you show it to Azra?
She is very interested in poetry.
And please don't come around to tell me...
...about your recitals.
Yes, of course.
What was he saying?
He was trying to make an impression on me.
I think he likes you.
By the way, it's not a very bad proposal.
Is Professor Jehangeer Malik the only one for me in this world?
I'd rather jump into a well and die then marry a poet.
Poetry is his hobby.
He has a good job and he looks decent.
He isn't burdened by any responsibilities.
Think about it.
If you are so impressed then you marry him.
Your mother is looking around for boys for you, right?
I don't know what has happened to Salauddin.
My son was such a happy person.
Now he has gone mute.
He won't even speak to anyone or sit with them.
He keeps sitting in that room, all the time.
I know what is his problem.
What is it? - Marriage.
My son isn't so willful that he would...
...trouble his mother and sisters to get married.
That's not the actual issue.
This is about Nausheen.
What? Where did she come into this?
She just came in. Salauddin wants to marry her.
Who told you? Did he mention it?
No! He didn't tell me but I am telling you.
Nausheen is going to be married, she is engaged.
Salauddin only told me that.
But the trauma is eating him up.
There you go. If you'd told me I would have resolved this.
I would have resolved...
...this issue with a snap.
How would you do it?
Just wait and watch...
...how your mother resolves this issue.
Did you make your profile on that website?
Yes. - Very good.
Now track it, check the inbox.
Sometimes you get very good chances.
Two of my cousins got married because of that.
But I am getting messages.
But it's really weird.
Well, weird is okay. But poor is not okay.
Even if I get a good message, what should I do?
My brother, Shabana...
...and Shazia have to marry first.
By the time I am up for marriage, it will be years.
It will, if you want it.
Try and you may get lucky sooner.
Shouldn't I think of them? Should I be selfish and think of myself?
I am not asking you to elope, Salma.
Just try to do something for yourself.
I have made 4 profiles.
I made one for Salauddin, Shabana...
...Shazia and for me.
That's it. With that kind of line before you, you'll never get married.
You know, my computer is really hassling me.
It takes so long to turn on.
One can make tea in the time.
Downloading one page takes 10 minutes.
Don't rely on the computer?
Get a good phone. I keep telling you that.
I told mom. She said, Shazia has to change her phone.
She will give it to me.
I don't get why you must get everything as leftovers!
Why can't it come to you directly?
Salauddin's computer, Shabana's clothes, mother's shoes.
Now Shazia's phone.
You can buy new stuff for yourself, Salma.
Get a good phone. The iPhone 10 type.
Yes.
Think!
'Can we speak?'
Greetings.
Yes. - I need to talk to you.
I can't repair your computer. I told you that.
No! I don't want to repair it. I want you to sell it.
No, I don't want to buy it. - Please sell it.
I won't ask you for money in return. - Then what?
Get the computer sold and give me an iPhone 10.
You want to sell your Pentium 3...
...and buy an iPhone 10? - Yes.
I will get a lot of money, right? - Do you know how much it costs?
How much? - One and half lakhs.
Oh! And an iPhone 9? - That's seventy-five thousand.
8? - You can't buy any iPhone...
...after selling your computer. You must understand this.
Then, can't I sell the computer and get any smartphone?
What do you want a smartphone for?
Why do you care to know? Tell me, if I can get it or not.
You can get a smart phone.
Can I get it on installments? - This is not a cellphone shop.
This is a hardware shop. Go to a cellphone store.
You must know someone, right?
I don't know anyone. Send Salauddin, I will speak to him.
No! Don't tell him.
That I came to sell the computer and buy a Phone.
Why? - Actually...
...he will feel bad. He can gift it to me.
If you tell him it won't feel right.
Okay, goodbye.
Strange!
Look at her.
And then there's her.
'Salma, people buy things for themselves in life, too.'
'Get a good phone. The iPhone 10 type.'
'You can't buy any iPhone after selling your Pentium. Understand?'
'I can't even make a false love story come alive.'
'What can I do?'
What do you want?
I am waiting for someone.
I can't wait any longer.
I was waiting for you. It's my friend's birthday. Please drop me.
Where were you? We have been waiting for you.
I was nearby.
Okay, go and drop her at once.
We have to buy a gift. - I will go and drop her.
Yes, go on!
Go on, and then get back.
Sohail? - Yes?
When I leave Pakistan...
...I will miss you.
You've done made me work so much for you.
You keep asking me to get stuff.
You asked me to do things, iron clothes.
I am fed up of working for you.
I want to tell you something. - What?
Mom has a surprise for you.
What is it about?
It's about your wedding.
About my wedding? - Shocked, aren't you?
But I can't tell you.
Since it's a surprise. But it's about the one you think of.
Mom told me not to tell you.
It's a surprise so I can't tell you anything.
What are you saying? I don't get it.
I know you don't.
When mom tells you on Valentine's day...
...it will be great fun.
What is it? - I told you, mom will tell you...
...on Valentine's day. It's close enough. - Okay, fine.
My friend's house is nearby.
Watch out for it.
'Can we speak?'
'Speak? How can I speak?'
'He will guess at once that I am...
...and he will speak in English. How will I answer?'
'He will know I am not Natalia, I am someone else.'
'If he wants to talk...
...then he will want to meet.'
Where is mom?
She went to look out for an alliance for you.
When did she do her BA?
She did it 2 years ago.
She is studying for the masters, now.
How old is she?
She is 24 years old.
Bring the girl.
Yes, I will. Please help yourself. - No, it's okay.
I told you...
...don't bring us to a family in the locality.
It would be different if it were...
...a family in Defence.
The girl is extremely lovely.
You will be pleased to see her.
What do we see? She's getting an MA in Urdu.
What kind of subject is that for a master's degree?
Don't focus on the education, dear.
The girl is really nice.
She has four sisters. - What?
I told you, find us someone from a smaller family.
Either that or they have nationality of the US or Canada.
Come here, dear.
No. Sit in front. It's easier to look.
Sit with me, dear.
Hello. - She's my daughter.
Can you cook?
I can cook and I really enjoy it.
I hate it.
I hated it too before getting married.
But you have to do it all for your husband and kids.
I am sure you do it too now.
So I forgot to ask how many kids do you have?
Did your dad get back? - Yes.
'I guess it didn't work out today, either.'
'This is Salauddin's 372th alliance.'
'That's been rejected during the last 3 years.'
You can't do this.
You won't get your daughters or your son married off.
Yes, I just love...
...having my kids sit here, tethered to me.
I never want them to go to their own homes.
The girl looked fine in the photo.
I wonder what holes you poked through her now?
Their house was no less than a tiny shack.
It was filled with so many people.
There was no space to sit! Aunts and grandma and so on.
So many people! I won't send...
...my son to a place where he has no place to sit.
As if you live in a palace, Nusrat Jahan!
You have to see the house. - The boy's house.
They see a girl's house too. That's why this Taj Mahal you gave us...
...still has our girls sitting in it.
All of them are still sitting here!
Yes, all of them are sitting here...
...since you've made your and their standards so high...
...that they don't find anyone good enough.
If anyone comes to meet them...
...and finds flaws with you, all of you sit and howl.
And when you look for a girl for your son.
You say the same things they say to you!
That's why I don't sit with you!
Your words are dripping with venom...
...covering me in poison!
I never got along with you as a young woman.
And you won't let me be in peace in my old age.
I am going. Sit!
Use an umbrella in the house.
Stay in the house, and stay hungry.
I won't feed you and then you'll miss me.
Don't come back! - I won't!
Stay here and be the grand lord.
Appearances don't matter.
Her mother didn't know how to behave.
A five room house, and a single storey.
And four sisters!
Listen.
The photo I saw...
...she looked very ordinary.
She was making it so obvious to us!
Are you married? How many kids do you have?
Salauddin, where were you?
I went to your room as soon as I arrived.
You weren't there. Where were you?
Who told you to find an alliance for me?
I will get some tea.
Mom, don't go looking for alliances for me anywhere in future.
My son, you have to get married.
I know you are heartbroken.
But I will find you someone who will be an angel.
She will be your ideal.
Mom, stop it, for God's sake.
I don't want an ideal.
Stop this daily nonsense.
How can you bad mouth other people's daughters?
If anyone says a thing about my sisters, would you take it?
This is all your dad tutoring you.
Since he retired...
...he has become a chatterbox.
Dad didn't say a word to me.
I can think for myself?
You can't think of anything.
Fool.
I guess, we are doing something wrong.
