"Father's had a stroke" "You handle things here, I..." "Go, go" "Hi Prasanna" "Uncle Gaju?" "When?" "OK" "I'll be there" "No." "It's not her" "It's my father" "What time did she say?" "Call her" "These are the channels that we spoke to" "They've all agreed" "They said they will broadcast..." "Wait" "No luck, sir" "Sir, she's here" "She's here?" "I'm so sorry, RK" "This time I was almost on time" "But Ganpati traffic, you know how it is" "It's OK." "It's cool" "Actually, I'm just anxious" "Me too" "This is the first screening" "I know" "Sir, it's your father on the phone" "Tell him I'll call him back" "Talk to him, it could be something important" "I'll explain" "You know, he calls me for every small thing" "If the gardener's late, he'll call me" "How sweet!" "Yes, but I wonder how he tracks me down" "I didn't answer my cell phone, so he called here" "Let me tell you something" "Take it from me" "Dads... are very special" "I know that" "Come" "So that's the best seat in the house" "Alright" " The second one" "I'm excited, RK" "Yeah, me too, because you're seeing it" "Jai, volume should be 6.5" "Can I just take this?" "Yes, of course, please" "Hello Dada" "What is it?" "ATE/Thing urgent?" "Nothing major but..." "Uncle Gaju's been hospitalized" "No baby, thank you very much" "When was this?" "Which hospital is it?" "About an hour back" "Kohinoor hospital" "He's on the ventilator" "Can I come there after this screening?" "Yeah, no problem" "I'll update you once I reach there" "OK thanks." "Great" "Bye" "OK." "We can start" "You know I..." "I think you must go" "I should, right?" "You know because it's my uncle and... he's very close to me" "Of course, RK." "Please go" "Thanks" " OK" "Please sit" "Utsav, Renu" "Bye" "Bye" "I'll be back soon" "Yes, alright" "Hi Dada" "I am on my way there" "I'll fetch you at the circle" "OK?" "Sir, your father called" "He said Uncle Gaju is very ill" "Yes, he called me too" "I'll call him" "When you don't answer his calls, he starts calling all of us" "He does that a lot" "I don't know if it's an emergency or just regular stuff" "Here he is" "Yes, I already know" "I am on my way there" "I am just about to leave" "Why are you coming there?" "I know you'll take a bus" "In fact you go ahead, I won't go at all" "Gaju is on the ventilator" "Dad" "Alright, you go on" "Will you call and inform everyone in the village or should I?" "I'll call them" "Don't start calling everyone up, please" "I'm going to hang up now" "Bye." "Call me back..." "R-A-J" "A" "Uncle Raja" "Hello Uncle Raja" "Gundya, how are you?" "Where's your father?" "I'll get him on the phone" "Just wait" "Uncle Raja's call, Uncle Raja's call" "Ready?" "Jump in." "No, wait" "Careful, you'll hurt yourself" "Ready?" "One" "Father, Uncle Raja's on the phone" "Two" "Uncle Raja's on the phone" "Here" "One moment" "Is anyone drowning?" "Hi Raja." "How are you?" "You'll be here for Ganpati this year, won't you?" "Yes, most probably, I'll be there" "Have you heard about Uncle Gajanan?" "He is going to be here for Ganpati" "Ladies, one moment" "What is the matter?" "He is critically ill" "He's been hospitalized" "Really?" "Now, what next?" "Dada and I are on our way to the hospital" "Will you please inform Uncle Bandhu?" "Bandhu" "Go back, back" "Manner-less" "You're dripping" "The floor won't dry up soon enough" "Wipe your feet" "Tell me, what can be worse than this?" "I just spoke to Raja" "Uncle Gaju is..." "Are you having a stroke?" "Speak UP" "Raja just called me" "Uncle Gajanan is critically ill" "He's on the ventilator" "I see" "Is Ashwin there?" "Yes, Ashwin and Raja are together" "They are on their way to the hospital" "I'll leave for Mumbai right away" "Get the car, I'll join you" "No, you don't have to come along" "It's OK, come along" "You could keep me company" "Not a word to anyone." "Got that?" "Of course not, sir" "I'll get the car" "Uncle Gajanan is critically ill" "Everyone shut up" "Uncle Gajanan is critically ill" "He is on the ventilator" "I'm leaving for Mumbai" "But keep it to yourselves" "Ventilator" "Baba, what is a ventilator?" "They shock your brain... to wake it up" "No." "It is pressed on the chest to revive the heart" "You fool" "The ventilator is inserted in the nose... in the wind-pipe." "Which helps in breathing" "Really?" "Tatya" "You must get one for yourself" "You will be able to sing during Ganpati" "Play on" "Hi Sal" "I am here, at the hospital" "Where are you?" "Upstairs" "Where?" "To your right" "I have arranged for the money" "Don't worry" "Here already?" "Wait" "How much is it?" "One lakh" "It's donation money..." "This is the Lord's way of helping you" "Don't worry." "I'll take care of it" "Give it to them" "This is fifty" "I'll pay the rest later" "Patient's name?" "Gajanan Kamerkar" "Excuse me." "We are in a queue" "So are we" "That is for the ladies and this is for gents" "Gajanan Kamerkar." "ICU bed No. 7" "What's going on?" "My father is critically ill, just wait" "Wait" "This is too much" "Sai, keep this with you." "We'll need it later" "Rude guy" "Sign here" "Sorry" "After that bullying, he says he's sorry" "You don't stop them either" "That'll be 257" "What else do you need?" "Some turmeric" "Hello?" "Rajah?" "Uncle Gajanan is critically ill" "He is on the ventilator now" "What do you mean?" "The truck is here." "Unload the stuff" "When a patient is at the last stage, he's put on the ventilator" "I'm leaving for Mumbai" "What about you?" "If I lose a single customer, I'll have to be... put on a ventilator till I get him back" "You wanted gram flour, didn't you?" "But we should be with him" "In that case, let's leave later in the evening" "As it is, I had to buy supplies from Mumbai" "We could go together" "What if he passes away by then?" "What about Ganpati?" "We'll be in mourning" "Can you hear yourself?" "Will they bring the body to the village or keep it in Mumbai?" "Where will they get Uncle Gajanan's body?" ""I'm hanging up, Raja"" "Stop it" "Stop it" "Stop crying" "He is still alive." "He's not dead yet" "For Ganpati, Lata is coming all the way from the USA" "Yes Aunty..." "If he passes away, what happens to Ganpati?" "Ganpati is only 7 days away" "We'll be in mourning" "I'll go to Mumbai and find out what is happening" "Till then, keep this news to yourselves" "Where's Bhiku?" "Yes?" "Don't you dare tell anyone" "No, I won't" "We'll come with you" "Wait" "Bhau, she must have left the USA" "Once she lands in London, she'll call us" "OK?" "Hi Raja." "How are you?" "First class" "Dada, you're looking good" "Really?" "Thank you" "Shiva, let's go" "So, what did my father say?" "That he is glad you are coming with me" "And Uncle Gaju has done a lot for you" "This is true" "When I first came to Mumbai..." "I didn't get hostel accommodation" "For the first year, I stayed at Uncle Gaju's home" "Uncle Gaju just picked up my bags... and took me home" "He insisted that I stay with him till I could find myself a place" "What a guy!" "There, I'm sure the entire village knows by now" "Kanchan" "Yes Kanchan?" "Dada, what is the situation?" "Dada, namaste" "He is on the ventilator" "We can go ahead with the Ganapati celebrations, right?" "How can I say for sure?" "Am I God?" "No, I mean this is my first year as the committee head for Ganpati" "Sir, water?" "If Uncle Gaju passes away, we'll be in mourning" "I can't go near the idol" "The volunteers will be dejected" "They have already spent a lot" "That is my only worry" "Is Prasanna there?" "Could you hand him the phone?" "He isn't answering my calls" "Prasanna is at the hospital" "Please don't pester him" "I'll let you know what is going on here" "OK?" "Let me know" "Sure" "What did he say?" "Nandan" "Yes Nandan?" "Dada, how is Uncle Gaja?" "Mother is already weeping here" "He is on the ventilator" "Let's see" "So... what decision are you going to take?" "I mean... should we leave for Mumbai?" "That is up to you" "Ganpati is 7 days away" "I'm getting the house painted" "The outer walls are still to be done" "So what I say is... why don't you shift him here to Kolhapur?" "We have some very good hospitals here" "Nandan listen to me." "You wait there" "We'll go to the hospital and tell the doctors... that our Nandan from Kolhapur insists... that the best hospital is in Kolhapur" "We should shift Uncle Gaju there" "Yes, you must do that" "You hardly ever get out of the city" "You'll get a chance to visit Kolhapur" "Dada, never mind" "Don't speak to the doctor" "We are coming to Mumbai" "Why?" "Mom's already in the car?" "Bhau, do you want to go the hospital?" "Should I ask sir to send the car for you?" "But he has asked me not to go there" "He has no idea of the village meeting this year" "Everyone will get to the hospital now" "That is exactly why you should be there, isn't it?" "As the wise senior of the family" "Sir has so many things to take care of" "Shooting, dubbing, editing, writing" "I won't go right away" "Let Raja get there first" "It's been many years since he met the entire family" "I hope he can handle the chaos" "Namaste, sir" "Namaste" "Sir, please" "Thank you" "Raja da" "This is a hospital" "Where is Prasanna?" "ICU" "Raja, you stay here" "Let me check on things" "Uncle Ravi" "How are you Raja?" "I'm fine, how are you?" "Raja is here" "Did you recognize me?" "Sai?" "Yes!" "Brother!" "You are great!" "What films you make!" "Superb!" "I watch all your films in the theatre, first-day-first-show!" "Bro, in your next film... this guy wants a role" "OK" "Remember the theatre in our village?" "We would watch films and enact every scene" "I would direct them" " Yes" "Raja, you've learned so much from me" "Well done!" "Where is Bhau?" "I'll go meet Aunty Manda?" "Yes, of course" "How are you, Aunty Usha, Aunty Asha?" "Come and sit" "Namaste" "Aunty Manda" "He woke up in the morning as usual" "Had some tea and biscuits, and went to the market" "Said he'd have breakfast later... else the market would get busy" "He went to get the Ganpati decorations" "In Dadar, the market was close to our house" "In Mahim, everything is far away" "You know we've shifted to a new house, don't you?" "We don't live in Dadar anymore" "I see" "Mahim has a market, doesn't it?" "But no..." "He rushes to Dadar for even an inch of ginger" "I want to see the photos" "Hang on" "What will you understand?" "He didn't get a taxi... so with his bags, he walked to Mahim" "Which of these is brother Gaja's head?" "It must be this one" "No" "Has to be this one" "No way" "It is, I'm sure" "How do you know?" "He lived next door to me" "I know" "He got home thirsty" "He drank cold water right out of the bottle" "Show it to me" "What is this?" "Is this the brain or the whole head?" "He coughed so hard that it burst a nerve in the brain" "Mom" " What?" " Don't sell your products here. please" "Of course not" " Please!" "He was so proud of you" "He would speak of you all the time" "You haven't visited us in many years" "Aunty Manda..." "You must meet everyone, talk to them" "Look, some of them are there" "Mom, if you're going to stay long, I'll carry on" "No, I'm coming with you" "Drop me at Churchgate" "OK." "I'm sitting there" "Good morning" "Raja!" "Aunty Indu" " How are you?" "Shift" "Make some space for me" "Raja, how are you?" "It has been ages since I saw you" "What is the status?" "He's on the ventilator." "What could the status be?" "I was here this morning" "What is the point in sitting here and crying?" "But it's sad this is happening during Ganpati" "Oh my!" "What?" "In hospital, a sleeveless blouse?" "Today is her 25th wedding anniversary" "Yes, why else would I dress like this to a hospital?" "It's my 25th anniversary" "Thank you" "Congrats" " Thank you" "Congratulations" "He has tolerated you for 25 years" "Actually, I've tolerated him all these years" "Give me my bag" "Don't drop my things" "Put your stuff away" "Done" "Keep it there." "Help me out" "How can I help?" "Manda, you must eat now" "I don't feel like eating" "But you must eat" "Starving yourself will not help Gajanan bhai get better" "Have something" " I can't" "That is a new product" "Yes I thought so" "Have a look." "It's lovely" "Raja... you're getting a divorce?" "Is that why you've lost so much hair?" "He's a director, not a hero" "Doesn't matter if he loses hair" "That's not true" "Nowadays, directors have turned to acting" "Our Raja was so good looking" "Raja, it's not too late" "There are many new oils in the market." "Try one" "Which oils?" "They're all adulterated" "Hibiscus oil is the best" "Yes, that's there." "I'll show you on Google" "Enough of your Google" "Heat some coconut oil" "Add the flowers and bring it to a boil" "Cool it, and apply at night before going to bed" "Here" "These are special containers for oil" "Our latest product" "Oil doesn't spill out of this one" "Here" "Raja dada" "Prasanna." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "How are you?" "I'm fine, too" "I'm fine" "Will you have some khichdi?" "No thanks, not now" "Have some butter milk instead" " No" "Have some" " No" "Raja, Prasanna has him admitted in such a big hospital" "He would never have been able to afford this" "Mother, why do you keep crying?" "In 24 hours, he'll improve, the doctor said" "I'm here with you" "Come, I want you to meet someone" "He's my boss" "Yes, of course" "We're here" "Look at these" "Driver, don't drive on the winding mountain road" "I'll take that route, you take the simpler one" "Doesn't matter if you reach later" "We can't be late" "We want to see him" "Aunty, you'll get sick" "No, I won't" " The road is so winding" "Don't worry" "You go ahead" "We'll take the other route" "OK" "Why is this thing with you?" "He wants to go to Pen, we'll drop him on the way" "Mother, why are you going to Mumbai?" "Yes, I also want to know" "Rashmi, instead of you going to Mumbai, I'll go... and you look after the house here" "They were going to leave me behind... and you think they'll take you along?" "I am not a fool" "Aren't you?" " What was that?" " Nothing." "Go on" "I am going to bring it up" "In Mumbai, what're you going to bring up?" "I am going to ask about our toilet" "He is so unwell" "You can't go to the hospital and fight for our toilet" "Kindly stay out of this matter" "All of them take me for a fool" "Tell me how many years it's been... and we still haven't got our toilet?" "We'll get it..." "Saru, hurry" "Hold on, I'll be there" "There's Saru" "God knows what she does in her toilet for hours at a go" "She takes an hour, her son 2 and her husband 3" "Who knows what they do while I am stranded outside... tumbler in hand" "Let Lata come in" "I'll tell her I deserve my own toilet" "Mother, is Pat coming with her?" "Yes 'Pat' is coming with his 'cat'... and the three of you can 'chat'" "Yes, tell me" "Not so loud, I'm at the hospital" "Not me" "A party workers' father is on oxygen here" "It's a serious matter" "I'll call you later" "Bye" "Where have you been?" "I've had a word at the hospital across the street" "Shift your father there" "Look, our party has donated 4 new ventilators to that hospital" "Why do you want to waste your money here?" "Prasanna, you can't just shift him" "It's a ventilator, not an oxygen cylinder" "If you pull him off it even for a second, he could die" "The hospital is right there" "Which Marathi man can't hold his breath for just 5 minutes?" "Raja Kamerkar, my cousin" "He is a director" "Which company?" "In Bollywood" "He is a Bollywood director" "That's great!" "Here, sir" "Take a photo" "I was wondering where I'd seen you" "One more" "Make sure you decide soon" "Let me know" "No sir, the union here has our men too" "They've agreed to help me" "They were our men once, not now" "Are you going to change your party for a mere ventilator?" "I notice that you take a lot of decisions... without consulting me" "You take care of your lord, I'll look after the Lord" "Sir, we could go to the altar tomorrow" "I'll go with you" "I'll go again with you tomorrow" "With every visit, I'll garner more blessings from the Lord" "As it is, we commit so many sins, don't we?" "If you ever need any help, you can call me before 10 in the night" "Always at your service is..." "Kashinath Sudhakar Zantye" "Bring him along... for the Ganpati aarti this year" "Come with your family" "Bye" " Bye sir" "Sorry Dada" "You know politics is..." "I checked upon Uncle Gaju" "Doesn't look too good" "Prasanna, I think we should meet the doctor" "Dada, you take Raja dada with you" "Let him see Baba, then we'll all go to the doctor" "Come" "I'm here" "Tatya" "Where' re you going?" "What's this?" "Tatya, where do you think you're going?" "Mumbai" "What for?" "I want a ventilator for myself" "Why do you need a ventilator?" "It's for my voice" "How could you believe that fool?" "I want to sing during Ganpati" "Fine!" "Go sit in the back" "No." "I will sit in the front" "Why?" "Sitting in the back makes me want to pee" "Why don't you do all that before getting out of the house?" "I am going to sit right here" "OK, wear the seat belt" " No" " You won't wear the seat belt?" " No" "How can you not wear the seat belt!" "Yes Ajit, how are you?" "Has everyone left?" "You're coming there, aren't you?" "Where?" "Where is everyone going?" "To see Gaju bhau." "Didn't they tell you?" "It was decided not to tell anyone" "So I was pretending not to know" "Anyway, I'm going there" "They wanted to leave me behind" "It's so sad that this has happened to Uncle Gaju" "I don't think we can celebrate Ganpati this year" "That means I can't celebrate Hartalika either" "I say you must come here." "We'll protest" "We'll discuss everything" "What was that?" "We'll do what?" "What did you say?" "We'll discuss everything" "How can we dig up these matters when he is so unwell?" "I am going to bring up my mangoes, and you must bring up your toilet" "I can't hear you properly, speak up" "Poor network" "I can't hear you properly, speak up" "Come again" "I am going to bring up my mangoes, and you must bring up your toilet" "Heard that?" "Sorry, what?" "Never mind." "Yes, got that" "OK" "Will you stop it?" "One kurta is enough" "No." "That's it" "Come on, hurry up" "What is it?" "Just wait for a while" "Bye." "See you" "Wait for me" "Let's leave" "Hail Lord Ganesha!" "Is this a pilgrimage?" "Go back home" "Hi sir" " Hello" "Yes Vinya?" "Are the idols ready?" "Yes, almost done" "But what is this I hear?" "What's the matter?" "What happened?" "What is Bhiku saying?" "Gajanan Kamerkar is about to pop it" "Ventis, he is on a ventis" "Ventilator!" "Yes, I know" "Who is on the ventilator?" "I'll tell you later" "Yes, he is on the ventilator" "So he is as good as gone" "These Kamerkars are at it again" "Every year one of them drops dead" "Hello Dada" "Hello" " Hello" "Such a large family" "They have never heard of family planning" "Be quiet" "A single fellow came to the village and now they have their own tribe here" "They have 15 uncles, 17 aunts and 20 grandchildren" "Will you turn it down a bit?" "I can't hear him and you're bellowing on" "I can't speak about my own business?" "I'm handling it" "Which is why I have to speak up" "You'll teach your father?" "Hello?" "Dada?" "Sorry, the call dropped" "Your family needs 5 idols" "They are all ready, except for the eyes" "If you go into mourning, what will I do with those 5 idols?" "You're right" "They never pay any amount in advance" "They just book the idols at the old rates" "Just give them an old idol" "Vinya, get your father some tea" "We have just reached the hospital" "OK." "But please take the idols home" "Vinya, I'll let you know" "You continue working on our idols" "OK" " I'll wait for your call" "Your pass?" "Prasanna Kamerkar" "The management makes the rules, the union breaks them" "We are graduates reduced to pressing buttons" " Sir, did you consider it?" " I told you I don't want your service" "RK?" "Nice to meet you, sir" "How are you?" "My uncle is being operated upon" "What is wrong with him?" "Piles" "He is being operated upon for piles" "Will you come say hello to him?" "Not now" "My uncle is in the ICU" "Please come" "Not now, later" "But make sure you enter with me" "My uncle must know it was I who got you to him" "Sure" "Mr. RK, I'm waiting for you on the 5th floor" "That's your father" "You go ahead, I'll speak to him" "Yes Bhau?" "Tell me" "Don't chatter away in there" "Be silent" "Raja, when did you arrive?" "Namaste" "Back off" "He must be tired" "How are you?" "You look so different" "I'm glad you came here to see Baba" "Did you find a parking spot for your car?" "Do you want some water?" "I have some boiled water with me" " You don't have to drink..." " Sarika" "How is your father?" "How are you?" "I am fine" "Baba is fine" "He will be so happy to see you" "What is the day today?" "Monday" "Right" "So it is Tuesday tomorrow" "That is Ganpati's day" "You know Baba is a true Ganpati devotee" "He won't take him away from us" "During the Shravan month, only Gajanan had to fast... since he would perform the prayer ritual" "And the others would party all night" "Why are we chatting here?" "Go." "Go meet Baba" "Once Baba wakes up tomorrow, we are all going to the village" "OK" "He has that bus for the shooting" "The one with the toilet and a bed?" "We can take Uncle Gajanan in that bus" "We can?" "I hope you don't mind" "We'll talk about it later" "You go meet him now" "Wait a moment" "Will you please place this on the ventilator?" "Yes" " Don't open it here" "Go in there and open it" "Make way for him" "Let him go in first" "Once Raja sees him, we'll decide what to do" "Hello sir" " How are you, sir?" " Fine" "Sir, one selfie please?" " Later, maybe?" " Sure, sir" "What's going on?" "This is an ICU" "Sorry" "Sorry" "Hello" "Did you get it?" "She put the Ganpati on top of the ventilator" "Got it" " Didn't you recognize me?" " No" "I am Rucha, Sarika's daughter" "Hi" "What were you checking in there?" "I am studying medicine" "I see" "So what did you see on the monitor?" "I am in my second year of study" "We haven't been taught about the ventilator yet" "I read everything on the internet" "Let's go out" "All his organs are fine" "But the one that controls all of them, the small brain, is not functioning" "Apart from that, he is fine" "He will recover" "She speaks like an expert, doesn't she?" "She is studying medicine" "So, what's your take?" "He's fine, but..." "Exactly!" "I knew it." "He is fine" "This is an ICU" "How many of you are here at a time?" "It's 11.30." "The visiting hours are over" "I know you have clout in the hospital" "OK" "You know, sir, the senior doctor will take us to task" "So, please..." "OK" " Yes, sorry" "Let's go downstairs" "Wait, let's ask her" "A patient on the ventilator does get better, right?" "I mean he comes back, doesn't he?" "Tell him" "Look... yes, it happens" "See?" "But doctors have their own limitations" "Above everyone is God" "Next to your father is a lady" "Her case is similar to your fathers" "The family was persistent" "Said they had one mother so they would wait" "There's a temple downstairs" "They arranged for a prayer ritual" "And you know what?" "Within seven days, her finger... moved" "See?" "So how is she now?" "This is the second week" "The family is waiting for... the second finger to move" "Thank you" "Rucha, you stay here with Grandpa" "The moment you see his finger move, let me know" "Bye" " Let's go" "You sit in the lobby, I'll be right behind you" "Sarika" " Raja, you stay here" "I'll meet the nurse and come back" "I want to know more from her" "Raja" "Unbelievable!" "It has been years since you last met them" "Let's go to the lobby" "There are several characters there" "Pay attention to what I say" "Uncle Shirish" "How are you?" "This is a hospital, not a wedding party" "You better not talk of weddings" "You haven't found a single suitable girl for me... even as you find a match for everyone else" "Tell me what the situation is like" "We can't decide on anything" "The family elders will take the decision" "But Prasanna is doing his duty" "Karan, how are you?" "Who is that cute fellow?" " I hope I'm not disturbing you?" " No" "He is Aunty Indu's son, Karan" "An I I NI-Bangalore graduate" "Carry on" "He is a tad too educated" "Uncle, he is the perfect candidate for you" "Very good" "I'll get there later" "Where is Manda?" "Behave yourself" "Which clan are you from?" "Bharadwaj" "You'll definitely be in mourning" "Tell me... where are you from?" "We are the Kamerkars of Ratnagiri" "But these are local Kamerkars" "The party workers wanted to know, not me" "If someone in the family dies... how can I avoid mourning?" "Can I change my clan?" "That is impossible" "You can't change your clan" "Please tell them" "You should pray to the Goddess" "Sing hymns non-stop" "The Goddess will be happy" "If the Goddess is happy, Gajanan will be saved" "All problems solved" "Consider my situation:" "If Gajanan dies..." "Hey!" "Assuming, just assuming" "Assuming Gajanan dies, I lose out on 5 prayer rituals 5 times 500/- is 2500" "Another 500/- for the..." "You're sure the Goddess will bless us?" "Yes, of course" "Let's go to the temple" " Yes" "He can't help us" "He is of no use to us" "Let's go" "Come on" "What about my fee?" "You'll get it next year" "Kanchan sir" "Yes, Jai?" "Why didn't you call me?" "Have you reached the interval?" "Yes sir, a while ago" "She went for lunch" "She's not back yet" "Any...?" "She didn't say anything" "You are late" "Be practical" "Who else is here?" "Everyone" "Prasanna, why are Subhash and Ravi here?" "There was to be a meeting about... our village house and land" "Baba was going to waive his rights without consulting me" "All of them will obviously want to be here now" "What do you think of the hospital, Raja dada?" "Very nice" "State-of-the-an" "Tell me, what did the doctor say?" "Not much." "They said he should improve in 24 hours" "Did you ask them about the future of a patient with a brain haemorrhage?" "Prasanna, it's a very tricky situation" "And costs a lot of money" "Money..." "If the patient doesn't respond to the treatment, then... to keep him on the ventilator or not... is a very confusing decision" "That will be the most critical decision" "Before putting him on the ventilator, what the doctor said to you... is what we need to know" "I'll just finish something and come back" "Let's discuss this once I'm back" "Make yourself comfortable" "Look at him" "Neck-deep in his politics" "Uncle Gaju is a simple man." "He couldn't stop Prasanna" "He would fight at home and Uncle Gaju would call me to convince him" "Uncle Gaju was very disappointed in him" "Prasanna never spoke to him politely" "He has certainly changed" "Let him come back" "We'll talk to him" "Hello" "Yes?" "You are Indu's son?" "Correct?" "What is your name?" "Karan" " Karan" "I remember meeting you when you were a child" "You were so small when I last saw you" "It's good to see you again lam Shirish Khatu" "Namaste." "Pleasure" "You carry on with your work" "Don't let me disturb you" "I wanted to know, what your expectations are, basically?" "Sorry?" "About girls." "I mean, for marriage" "You will marry a girl, won't you?" "I hope there's no other problem" "You're not into..." "No, not at all" "I'm extremely sorry, but I need to focus right now" "Please don't let me disturb you" "Carry on with your work" "Why don't you give me your number?" "Actually, let me give you my number" "OK" "I've given you my number, so call me please" "OK, I will" "Please." "Thank you" "Got it" "You carry on with your work." "Don't let me disturb you" "Good" "You can see it later" "No worries" "Sure." "Thank you" " Do remember" "Thank you so much" "Nice to meet you, Uncle" "Take care" "Thank you" "Ashwin, can you please meet the doctor?" "I am going to" "But Prasanna needs to be there with me" "Both of them had a fight last night as well" "As usual" "He asked Prasanna to come with us to the village, for Ganpati" "Expectedly, Prasanna didn't want to" "He refused flat out" "Obviously, his father was furious" "He never tried to understand what his son really wanted" "Aunty, you sit here" "Prasanna is too tied up at work" "Why don't you sit down?" "I can never take sides in their fights" "Don't worry, we'll sort it out" "Sit here" " Doctor?" " I'll take care of it" "He is looking into it" "Sai, are you sure about him?" "Say Yes and... he'll get it done before Zantye arrives" " Won't you?" " Yes sir" "Look at these diamonds." "They are well within your budget" "I never do a shabby job, sir" "God Himself will approve of what I've done with these" "Pack him off" "Sir, listen to me, please" "Gajanan Kamerkar, right?" "He is under Dr. Shroff" "Thanks" "Hi Doc" " You're welcome" "It's Dr. Shroff." "You were right" "He's the best." "Let me know if you need anything" "See you, Doc" "I'm sure you want to see Dr. Shroff now" "How sweet of you!" "Yes, thank you" "He's in surgery just now" "It's a brain surgery" "Sometimes, it takes 6 to 7 hours" "You'll have to wait a while" "Are you leaving?" "Sorry to disturb you" "When can we see the doctor?" "Uncle, wait a moment" "Let me do one thing" "I'll wait" "The doctor can get free any time" "I guess I'll wait" "Where are we, Pritam?" "Are we there?" "Of course not." "Go back to sleep" "Hey you." "I told you to take the lower road" "Why are you following me on this hilly road?" "Aaswad Hotel is not on that route" "Where would we have eaten?" "You' re absolutely right" "The hotel is on the wrong route" "Tatya!" "Tatya!" " Why have we stopped?" " Look for yourself" " Tatya!" " Pritam, we want to go as well" "Do you?" "What can I do!" "Stay there." "No more changing cars" "Tatya" "It's so easy for men" "They can relieve themselves wherever they want" "We women are stuck, aren't we?" "You said it" "Cover up" "If people see you, what will they say!" "Hurry UP" "Yes, Jai?" "Video chat?" "All well?" "Sir, she just left." "Without a word" "Sorry sir" "Jai, you're such a bad actor!" "Move." "Give it to me" "Thank God you're only in direction" "I'm so sorry RK, but I just wanted to call you... and tell you my immediate reaction" "It is such a lovely film!" "You know, it doesn't drag at all, all the characters are well-written" "Gosh, that's Priyanka!" "And I'm awesome in the movie!" "You're fabulous, not great" "No no, it was a team effort" "I really..." "I just wanted to say thank you" "Hello" "Hi" "My relatives" "Nice to meet you" "Ravi" "Aunty Usha" "Asha." "Our anniversary..." "Indu." "Hi" "Sai, his brother" "It's a pleasure meeting all of you" "You... you... you... all of you" "Is everything alright there?" "It's fine" "We are waiting to meet the doctor" "After that, we'll arrive on a decision" "That's a very tough decision" "I'll pray for your uncle's speedy recovery" "Thanks" "Take care." "Good luck" "Bye" "See you" "Raja, when can we see your film?" "You must organize a special screening for us" "Yes, of course" "Once Uncle Gaju is fine, we'll have a screening" "And you must invite Priyanka for that show" "That'll be amazing" "Everyone wants to see that show, right?" "So come on, let's go" "You get on with work" "Please have some" "Raja, you have some too" "Thank you" "Let him work in peace." "Go out, all of you" "Go on, out" "Ashwin, you know what just happened?" "We just spoke to Priyanka Chopra" "It was awesome" "What was that all about?" "Nothing" "They're so funny sometimes" "What do you call it... a 'script'?" "Write a script around them." "It will make for a great film" "Raja, Bhau called me" "His logic is that..." "Ganpati can be got home after Gauri... if we take the correct decision" "He also wants to be there for the meeting with the doctor" "You please handle Bhau" "Ask him to keep his logic to himself" "Tell him not to turn up here and add to the confusion" "He knows I am here, taking care of it" "More coffee for you?" "Coffee, please" "This is the latest" "It's you!" "I have 3G but I don't know how to use it" "My dear Uncle, I'll forward this one to you" "Another coffee" "I'll get it." "You sit" "A coffee, quick" "Yes sir" "Uncle, if you don't do this business, how will people get married?" "That is true" "I wanted to help you too." "But you refused" "You didn't want to get married till you got elected." "Politics etc." "Your father would've been so happy if you'd got married at the right time" "I could've never made him happy" "It didn't matter to him what I did with my life" "Don't say that." "He was worried for you" "Worried for me?" "He wanted me to get a government job like he had" "I couldn't start a business" "Every father wants his son to follow in his footsteps" "Just follow?" "Why shouldn't he go ahead and succeed on his own?" "That's why he was against my being in politics" "Actually, he disapproved of everything I did" "Even our political party was divided" "Our leaders went their own ways" "Whom are we supposed to follow?" "If our Ganpati altar wins the competition... it will fortify my position in the party" "Look how concerned my father is about me" "He lies in bed as I am loaded with work" "Don't say that" "He didn't wish to fall ill" "My leader Zantye is just waiting... for me to fail so that his man can take over" "I won't let that happen" "I won't let that happen" "That's why I got Father to this hospital" "He'll get the best treatment here" "Don't worry" "What am I doing wrong here?" "It'll be fine" "Don't worry." "Everything will be alright" "Don't worry at all" "How much is that?" "Uncle, you don't have to pay" "He'll put it on my account" "Yes sir" "You have an account here as well?" "Of course" "You must throw us a party when you win" "Just this coffee won't do" "Sure." "I'll throw a party at Shivaji Park for you" "Very good" "Cheers to you" "With coffee, for now" "Raja" "Jai, hold on" "I'll call you back" "Raja, this is Aatma Ghadke" "Namaste" " He is Prasanna's neighbour" "He acts in television soaps" "He's been pestering me to introduce him to you" "Thanks to Uncle Gaju, he can meet you today" "I wish we didn't have to meet... under these circumstances" "I'm sure you know him" "Are you kidding?" "Your comic timing is superb" "Timing is most important in comedy." "Isn't that so, sir?" "Aatma, tell you what..." "Give me your album." "I'll show it to him" "That's great" "I'll wait downstairs" "Raja" " Hello" "What's your take on Uncle Gaju?" "It's almost 2 o'clock" "When will they take a decision?" "We'll have to consult the doctor... and then it is Prasanna's decision" "It's simple" "Who is more important, Ganpati or man?" "Ganpati must be brought home" "So, till Gauri-Ganpati, we must keep him on the ventilator" "And after Gauri's immersion, pull the plug" "What's the confusion there?" "One must be practical" "Take the decision without wasting time" "Come here" "Give me a minute" "Hello sir" "Hello" "What was he saying, that idiot?" "Uncle Subhash, how are you?" "I am fine, but what did that doormat say?" "What is wrong with you?" "He said we should continue with the ventilator till Gauri" "Bloody fool" "Who will pay for it?" "His father?" "I get Ganpati home for all 10 days" "Why should I take him back by Gauri?" "I won't cut it short" "First immerse that wife of yours, then bring Ganpati home" "He's so hen-peeked, his Ganpati leaves with Gauri" "Mine will not" "Or tell Prasanna... to keep him for all the 10 Ganpati days, on the ventilator" "Uncle Subhash, Gauri is Ganpati's mother, not his wife" "Tell me, how much should I make it out for?" "Who are you making out with?" "Making a receipt for your donation to the hospital Ganpati" "A hospital Ganpati?" "Yes" "Tell me... how is Gauri related to Ganpati?" "She's his wife" "Gauri is Ganpati's mother" "Mother?" "Could be" "Your donation?" "Really?" "Goddess Yogeshwari" "It's afternoon" "And I know you will bless us" "My Goddess Yogeshwari" "Kanchan Kamerkar and his group are here to seek your blessings" "Yes" "My Goddess Yogeshwari..." "Kanchan Kamerkar's uncle is very ill in Mumbai" "What is his name?" "Yes" "Yes?" "What is his name?" "Uncle Gaju" "There are hundreds of Uncle Gajus." "Be specific" "What is his full name?" "Gajanan Kamerkar" "Age?" "Must be 72" " Yes" "My Goddess Yogeshwari, Gajanan Kamerkar..." "Distant uncle age perhaps 72..." "Where in Mumbai does he live?" "Dadar" "Not Dadar." "He has shifted to Mahim, near the station" "My Goddess Yogeshwari, he has shifted to Mahim, near the station" "He is unwell" "That may obstruct the auspicious events in the family" "My Goddess Yogeshwari, till he gets better, Kanchan and his group... will pray to you non-stop" "I will be in and around, but all of them are here" "Yes!" "If you grant them their wish..." " they will offer 5 coconuts..." " Yes!" " ...a quarter kilo of coloured powder..." " Yes!" " A kilo of pedhas..." " Yes!" "At your feet" "Hail Goddess Yogeshwari!" "Namaste" "Jai" "Today's trial list is confirmed" "Perhaps I won't be able to make it" "Get a confirmation from catering" "OK, let me check" "OK, the menu is good" "Call me if you need me, OK?" "I'll be waiting" "Raja, I'll be back in awhile" "I have a few calls to make, in Churchgate" "Have you met my son, Karan?" "Daddy, Uncle Raja" "Don't forget about the screening" "Yes" "And call Priyanka" " OK?" " OK" "This is for the prayer ritual" "I know but I have to check everything" "How dare you talk to me this way?" "Whose union is it in the hospital?" "Call him" "There goes Ajit" "I should leave." "I'm running late" "Bye" "Let's go." "Hurry" "It's Ganpati decorations, not a bomb" " How are you?" " Fine." "How are you?" "Not so loud, we're in a hospital" "Yes." "Are you leaving?" "Yes, I must" "This is all for Ganpati" "What is wrong?" "I'm telling him he can't take this inside" "But he won't listen to me" "Ajit, let him do his job" "How are you?" "I'm fine" "You better pack it up again" "Manmeet" "How are you?" "Good" "You've grown taller than your father" "You know, I shave now" "Your daddy seems to have bought you a lot of things" "It's a new kurta for Ganpati" "Shall I wear it right now?" "Sure" "Right now, go help your father with the bags" "Uncle Raja, I watch all your films" "Daddy gets the CD a day before the film releases" "We watch it everyday" "Really?" "Hurry UP" "There's nothing in it" "You go there" "It's 4 o'clock" "We won't take any decision till everyone from the village gets here" "Zantye is cribbing that the idol doesn't have a natural radiance" "How do you get that radiance?" "You must go there" "Dude, is it your first or second?" "First" "Lovely" "The great magician is here" "Don't act smart" "Uncle Sai" "I'm off" " OK, you go" "The magician is here" " How're you, bro?" " Fine" "Magician, now that you're here... get Uncle Gaju off the ventilator" " Stop it, Sai" "Why did Prasanna leave in a huff?" "What is the situation upstairs?" "Situation's the same, but the plan's changed" " Why?" "When the village gang is here, we'll decide" "Seems like we'll have to spend the night here" "You stay right here" "I'll just be back" "Don't mess around" "Sai, take this" "Keep an eye on him" "Are you hungry?" "I knew it" "How many kilos will you eat?" "Yes Nandan, speak to Aunty Manda" "Nandan" "Taxi" "Have a taxi ready" "Can you do me a favour?" "Yes, what is it?" "May I just go out for a while?" " Where?" " I have some urgent work" "Please don't tell Dada" "He'll get mad at me" "Please" "OK" "Thank you Raja dada" "Get the taxi" "I'll call you back" "Where is he off to?" "He's caught up in some mess" "Listen to me" " Where is he going?" "His father's on the ventilator and where is he off to?" "He'll be back." "Where else will he go?" "I don't think our meeting in the village will happen this time" "Why?" "Have you been upstairs?" "Do you remember Gaja bhau had given up all rights... to his share of the property in the last meeting?" "When?" "He wasn't there, I remember" "Prasanna won't let go so easily" "I'm sure he'll protest" "If Gaja bhau gives up his rights, many of our problems... will be solved, including the toilet issue" "What about my mangoes?" "I had warned you" "You should have kept a rough draft ready" "None of you bothered to do that" "It would have come in handy now" "Tell me, how will you get his signatures now?" "We can get his thumb impression" "It's your responsibility then" "Get a lawyer, make an affidavit and get his thumb impression on it" "Go" "Be practical" "Tell him" "This is impossible" "We must speak to Prasanna" "I'm not going to talk to Prasanna" " Why?" " He's full of himself" "He thinks he's some big shot" "Bhau is a witness to our last discussion" "He isn't here yet" "But Raja is here" "What if he doesn't come here at all?" "He will." "He will be here" "Does Pritam send you the mangoes?" "You call Bhau" "Mangoes!" "Look" "Yes, hello Rashmi" "I couldn't call you before" "Uncle Bandhu and I are in the same car" "I can't say anything in front of him" "Our toilet lady is in the car with me" " Who?" " Rashmi" "Uncle Bandhu came to spend his retired life... in the village to make our life hell" "She wants to build a toilet" "You know where?" "Right in the middle of our room and the well" "I have already refused" "You don't go soft on them" "Let me make it clear" "I have suffered." "I won't let my daughter suffer" "I'm in a similar position, Rashmi" "Every year at Ganpati they promise me they'll discuss the matter and... every year they leave me hanging with my toilet" "Am I right?" "If she brings it up, we'll discuss it" "You live in the city so you don't have any issues" "I refuse to spend the rest of my life living next to a toilet" "I'm telling you, this time this matter has to be... closed, and you better speak up for me" "Of course" "We'll begin with my mangoes" "Why do you go on and on with your mangoes?" "Where will you go after eating so many mangoes?" "Straight to the toilet, right?" "That's enough." "You're useless!" "I'll handle it" "How can you be so patient with your father?" "I can't do that even for a minute" "I know that feeling" "But it's like brushing" "Yes, think about it" "We must brush everyday, to keep our teeth clean" "Relationships are like teeth" "You have to keep them clean" "Brush them" "It's tough, yes" "Here" "Pritam" "What does he want?" "Yes, Pritam?" "Dada, everyone is coming there" "We had to come in 2 cars" "Yes I know about the 2 cars" "Everyone's on their way" "No one cares when Uncle Gajanan visits us" "But look at them now, traveling all the way to Mumbai to see him" "I told everyone in the village not to tell anyone else" "You've told everyone not to tell anyone?" "What about Rajan?" "He called him 'Uncle Gajanan's body'" "He has no sense" "He'll leave tonight" "He wants to go shopping in Mumbai" "He wants to finish peeing as he's bathing" "Never mind." "Now try and get here soon" "We're waiting for you" "OK" "Tatya, don't you dare have any more water" "Uncle, I want this one" "Hurry UP" "Here you go, skinny fellow" "This is plastic" "Don't eat this" "I know" "Don't drop it on your clothes" "Your father will bash us up" "Don't yell at me" "I'll change after I eat" "Daddy" "Daddy" "Daddy" "Daddy" "Daddy" " What's wrong?" "Daddy" "Daddy" "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy" "Manmeet" "What's going on?" "Uncle, there's a coin in my tummy!" " A coin?" " Yes" "Get it out" "Here?" "Yes" "OK, relax" "Come with me" "Relax" "Where's the OPD?" "To your right" "OK, come on" "Look at this" "This is where the coin is stuck" "Good God!" "Now what do we do?" "If he's lucky enough, it'll come out in his morning potty" "Give him a lot of bananas today" "That will help the motions" "Or we'll have to extract it surgically" "Uncle, I don't want a surgery" "I will do a lot of potty" "No surgery, please" "Here he is" "Why are you wearing this kurta right now?" "I'll give you one!" "Ajit" "There's a coin in his stomach" "It must be hidden in some corner of this large mass" "It's only a coin." "He could digest a man whole" "Coin." "There's a coin in his stomach" "Coin?" "You mean there's a coin inside him?" "How did it get there?" "He was performing a magic trick" "I said No Magic!" "Calm down" "He is only a child" "You were just like him when you were young" "So keep shut" "You come with me" "We'll have some bananas" "The coin will slip right out in the morning" "Come with me" "Can I have some cheese pizza?" "Be quiet" "Go change those clothes" "Bhau's logic is spot on" "What logic?" "It's preposterous" "Who cares what he says?" "He thinks practically" "He is correct" "Correct?" "Let Gaju take his own decisions" "Then why was he interfering during the meeting?" "He is so concerned about keeping the family together" "Who does he think he is?" "So what do you suggest I do?" "I should keep myself out of all this?" "All my relatives are here to see my brother... and I should sit at home and worry about the chaos?" "Dad, I understand your feelings for your younger brother" "But I don't understand that when I told you that I'm already here... then why did you take a bus all the way here?" "What if you had a fall, an accident?" "Why are you so upset with me?" "You don't like the way I dress" "You don't like it when I carry a plastic bag" "You are furious when I leave the house with a napkin on my shoulders" "Why should I spend the rest of my life according to what you approve of?" "Dad, this is not the right time" "But let me say it" "This is exactly what I wanted to say to you after my board results" "You wouldn't have any of it" "You wanted your son to be a CA, so you forced me to study commerce" "Did I succeed at it?" "That is exactly what you did with Mom too" "She lived the life of a wife that you had imagined for yourself" "You got her so dependent on you that... she wouldn't take her daily medication without your help" "Why?" "Because she didn't want to hurt your feelings" "She gave up her own identity" "She overdosed on that medication and died" "I did it all to protect her" "I had no selfish interest in it" "But you thought only about yourself" "And you still do" "Why did you have to come here with all your logic and try to grab attention?" "Everyone laughs at you behind your back" "The equations in a joint family are complicated, my dear" "If you truly believe I have created confusion in their minds... then I'll leave right away" "I have changed myself right now" "You handle it all" "My love didn't kill your mother" "Habit is to blame here" "She wasn't used to doing anything without me" "And I couldn't give up my habit of taking care of everything for her" "I couldn't strike a balance between love and habit" "She is gone" "No, sir" "I can't make any last minute changes" "Give me a solution" "You have no idea what you want" "You say it lacks radiance" "What exactly does that mean?" "All my idols are dear to me" "I want each one of them to win the competition" "Who is the sculptor, you or I?" "You have been checking on the progress of the idol" "Why didn't you say anything then?" "Suddenly, what has gone so wrong?" "If I knew that, why would I be standing here when... my father is fighting for his life in hospital?" "Are you getting me?" "Sir, trust me when I say this" "The festival is around the corner" "They say the idols already have His presence in them" "So?" "Such last minute changes are a bad omen" "That's what they say" "I'll be back" "Get on with work" "With your grace upon us" "You fill us with happiness and peace" "You are the divine support" "You absorb and act" "You're our mother, our father" "You're everyone': brother, everyone's friend" "Bestow your blessings on us, dear Lord" "Come one, come all" "Let's welcome Lord Ganesha... singing hymns to His greatness" "Hail Lord Ganesha" "Hail the joy-giver" "Come one, come all" "Let's welcome Lord Ganesha... singing hymns to His greatness" "Hail Lord Ganesha" "Hail the joy-giver" "Come one, come all" "Let's welcome Lord Ganesha... singing hymns to His greatness" "Hail Lord Ganesha" "Hail the joy-giver" "Dada" "Come on" "Why is this thing blocking the way?" "Stand here" "Bandhu" "Tatya, don't do that" "Here you go" "Let him go" "Hurry up or you'll have to clean up behind him" "Hurry up, Tatya" "Let's go 1-2-3-4" "How are you, Pritam?" "Mother, give me the bag" "Go on inside" "When did you leave?" "Around noon" "It took you a long time" "We've come from Kolhapur, yet we've reached at the same time as you" "Try stuffing so many oldies in 2 cars and driving all the way" "I'm lucky to have reached" "My mother was my back-seat driver" "I'll go on inside." "You get my bag" "He woke up in the morning as usual" "Had some tea and biscuits and went to the market" "Said he'd have breakfast later... else the market would get busy" "Aunty Manda" "What happened to him?" "He woke up in the morning as usual" "Had some tea and biscuits and went to the market" "He was so fit and healthy" "He is bed-ridden" "See what's become of her" "Sorry" "Ashwin, tell me... who all will go up to see Gaju, now?" "Where is Bhau?" "He has gone back home" "Where is Prasanna?" "He'll be here" "Father, I think you siblings must go and see Uncle Gaju" "I want to meet him too" "Don't get ahead of yourself" "You can wait" "Pritam" "I want a ventilator for myself" "Yes, it's upstairs" "Fresh air" "Bandhu, which one of these is a ventilator?" "It's behind the Ganpati" "Gaju" "Gaju" "Gaju, please wake up" "Wake up" "Look here" "Look who's here" "Tatya has come here to take you back for Ganpati" "He's traveled all this way for you" "If you're not there, who will do the Ganpati aarti?" "None of us knows the Ganpati preparations as well as you do" "Truly" "Listen" "Gaju, have you heard?" "Bandhu's grandson Pat is coming to India" "He is just like you, fair-skinned" "Sis, do you remember how Gaju became so fair-skinned?" "He was quite dusky when he was born" "H ow?" "Remember there used to be tins of Afghan Snow in the attic of our store?" "He used to smear himself with that snow" "That's how he's so fair-skinned" "Once Tatya caught him putting snow on his face" "He thrashed him soundly" "Should I thrash you now?" "You are getting such fresh air... but you're still not waking up" "Gaju" "Gaju" "Gajanan, wake up" "You tell him please" "Gaju, please open your eyes and look at us" "Please look at us" "I hope this is without sugar" "Of course, it's made especially for you" "It's good" "Prasanna, I came here from the hospital" "What do I see here?" "The idol has absolutely no radiance" "Gurav's an is impeccable" "You are decorating it with jewellery" "And yet I smell a rat" "Something is amiss" "You were busy with your father's illness" "So I appointed an enquiry committee" "That is when I found a mole in my own family" "I don't understand" "It lacks radiance?" "How much donation money have you collected this year?" "What are the expenses?" "You were going to arrange for the jewellery today." "I know it's pretty late" "But the stones are fake" "Am I wrong?" "Prasanna you come from a respected family" "Such deceit is not expected of you" "You pocketed the money for yourself?" "I have done no such thing" "I was going to give it back" "Are you doing this because I used the donation money?" "I notice that you're taking a lot of decisions without consulting me" "You are still connected to the old party" "You attend their rallies, don't you?" "Prasanna, this is politics" "You can't afford to be so emotional" "Listen to me" "You are burdened by your own responsibilities as a son this year" "Make sure you take care of them" "I don't understand, please be specific" "If you stay within the party, some day you may understand" "As of now, let Sai handle all the responsibilities" "Zantye has no sense." "Talks rubbish" "You have promised to give him the money that you took" "What about all the effort we took to collect the money?" "HEY" "Even if I become the president, for me you will always be the president" "You know what?" "It's all in the family" "Use this tension in the right way, for Uncle Gaju" "Hey bro" "What about the money?" "I would have lent it to you, but..." "I have to account for it" "Sir, Dr. Shroff is ready" "He is expecting you" "OK" "Thank you" "Excuse me, Dr. Shroff?" "Come in, come in" "Raja Kamerkar" "RK, I'm sorry" "I didn't recognize you" " How are you?" "Nice to meet you" " Hi" "This is Ashwin, my cousin" "Hi Ashwin" "Please sit" "Tea, Ashwin?" "They are my relatives" "It's OK." "Let them be" "Come in" "Let them come in, no problem" "Please come in" "Come in" "Come in" "Tatya, here" "Come on" "Come, sit here" "Don't make him sit there, you fool" "Come in" "Wait, I'll get a chair" "Please come on in" "Come on in" "Move aside" "I suppose the patient is a good man" "It's so heart-warming to see the whole family coming together in support" "I am really impressed" "It's rare" "Where is his son?" "He'll be here in awhile" "OK" "Can I speak in Marathi?" "Yes!" "Otherwise we won't know what you're saying" "I am a Dadar boy" "I can try" "Please forgive my mistakes" "So Prasanna, right?" "He asked me to put his father on the ventilator" "I said OK, fine" "But give me a reason" "He said if something happens to Father... then he will be in a fix" "This is what he told me" "I don't know why he said that" "So I asked him to think about it and take the right decision" "Because once I connect the ventilator I cannot pull it off" "That is illegal" "You give it to me in writing" "I will take him off the ventilator and discharge him" "And then... whatever happens to... him, will happen" "But why did he take such a decision?" "No" "We took this decision together" "I said how could Father be in the ICU during Ganpati?" "He said Father will recover faster if we put him on the ventilator" " Am I right, Doctor?" " No, no" "No, no Sarika" "The ventilator is not a medicine" "Let me make it very clear" "It just keeps the patient alive" "That's it" "RK, should I explain?" "May I have your permission?" "Please, everybody, pay attention" "Tell me, where is your heart?" "Good." "Here" "Now tell me, where are your kidneys?" "No, not there." "They're here" "That's nice" "Where is your liver?" "Liver's there" "These are vital organs" "The good news is Father's vital organs are in excellent shape" "Now let's move on to the head" "Your brain has two pans" "A big one and a small one" "The small one controls all the vital organs" "This small brain is damaged" "In my medical experience, I tell you... this cannot be cured" "You mean... the chances of my father living... are zero?" "I won't say zero" "I'll give him one per cent" "One per cent?" "On what basis?" "Sir, I can't say this within the walls of this hospital" "But God can work His miracles" "That means miracles can happen" "I have complete faith in God." "Complete" "We should continue keeping him on the ventilator, shouldn't we?" "Sarika, we can't do that indefinitely" "That's I want to say" "Take a clear stand" "Don't keep everyone's Ganpati on the ventilator too" "But shouldn't the son be here to take this call?" "He is absconding at the time of this crucial discussion" "I'll take that call" "I'm his daughter" "No, sorry" "Women cannot take this decision" "No, excuse me, did I hear right?" "You know Doctor, we have our own customs... on the responsibilities of men and women" "Can you hear what you are saying?" "I think Bhau's logic is absolutely right" "We may have to sacrifice the first few days of the festival" "But we can bring Ganpati home after Gauri" "Depending on the ventilator won't help us" "also, Lata is coming down with Pat for the first time" "Shouldn't they be able to experience our festival?" "Yes, Lata and I were going to celebrate Hartalika together" "Just once second, who is this Lata?" "She is our cousin sister" "She is not here?" "No, she is coming from the USA" "Rashmi, don't lose hope" "Why don't you say something?" "I want to go to the toilet" "Daddy" "Toilet?" " Where is it?" " Where is it?" "Down the corridor, on the left hand side" "Daddy, you stay right outside" "How will I know whether the coin has come out?" "In that case I should have the honour of the Gauri saree this year" "What do you mean?" "You had it last year, didn't you?" "How greedy!" "You just want everything to go your way all the time" "How dare you call me greedy?" "Who are Gauri and Hartalika?" "They are Goddesses" "They come with Ganpati" "Can't they come together?" "Don't you see what happens when two women are... in the same room at the same time?" "Even God can't take that risk" "Should I bring up the toilet issue now?" "Excuse me" "Excuse me" "I want to tell you all one thing" "Don't worry about God" "He can take care of Himself" "The person on the ventilator, worry about him" "Doctor, here's our Prasanna" "That's good" "Come, Prasanna" "Prasanna, where did you go without telling anyone?" "Don't you know the gravity of the situation?" "The ventilator" "Switch it off" "Are you sure?" "Please, enough!" "Let him decide" "Yes" "How can you say that?" "You should have spoken to us" "What is wrong with you, Prasanna?" "All of you are concerned about Ganpati, aren't you?" "Alright" "Let's give my father a chance till noon tomorrow" "We have already paid till noon tomorrow" "Please give me time till noon tomorrow" "And give my father... one last chance" "Yes, I'll be right there" "Mr. Kamerkar?" " Yes?" " Hi" "We'll switch the ventilator off at 12 noon tomorrow" "You need to complete some formalities" "Here are the forms" "also, you need to decide about organ donation" "You may discuss amongst yourselves... if you want to donate any of the patient's organs" "His eyes, liver, skin:" "just mark them on this form" "We'll finish other formalities tomorrow morning" "We'll keep the bill ready by morning" "I'm in a rush, I'll push off" "I'll be at the desk in the morning" "OK" " Thank you" "Thank you" " Thank you" "Prasanna" "Not even God could say if your decision is right or wrong" "I know it's very difficult for a child to take... this sort of decision about his parent" "We won't question your decision" "But now you must go and meet your father" "I've seen him twice or thrice" "No, you've just seen him" "You haven't met him" "You may have some bones to pick with him" "There're many things that have been left unsaid" "Many emotions are often left unexpressed between a father and son" "And the resentment builds up" "He can't speak to you anymore" "But you can" "You have that opportunity till noon tomorrow" "I have no idea about the tension between you and Uncle Gaju" "But I know you are determined to prove yourself and thus prove him wrong" "Prasanna, he is your father" "He has done his best for you" "I'm sure you're doing your best too" "But what do you want to prove now?" "And when will he see it?" "Go and speak to him" "He won't be able to say anything but let him listen to you" "Go to him" "Ashwin, you go ahead." "I'll join you" "OK" "You haven't gone home?" "I'll stay here" "You should go home" "Everyone has, you should too" "I want to spend this last night with Gaju bhau" "Every night we chatted outside our homes" "He was my audience" "I would practice my audition lines with him" "He often said, with tears in his eyes..." "'Aatma, there's a lot of struggle in your profession." "Raja too has struggled a lot" "He's from a small village, but today he is a successful director" "I'll introduce you to him someday'" "He must be very happy today" "You go" "Prasanna keeps going out all the time" "I'll stay in case there's an emergency" "He won't go anywhere" "I promise" "You must go home now and come back in the morning" "Shall I drop you home?" "No sir, thanks" "OK" "And yes... do give me your number" "I'm sure I'll need it soon" "I have your number" "I'll give you a missed call" "OK" "Goodnight" "OK." "Got it" "Raja is here" "Your favourite" "He asked me to speak to you" "He must have lived with us for about a year" "Raja, Raja, Raja, Raja" "Your favourite, Raja" "I have lived with you for 30 years and 9 months." "What am I to you?" "I wonder" "When I was a child you took me to the butcher... and asked him to give me the brain of the animal" "He needs to grow smart, you would say" "I used to get furious" "I was very young but I knew what you were trying to do" "When I was in Grade B, you bought a new scooter" "I was sitting on the new scooter but you lifted me off" "You made Sarika sit on it because she is lucky for you" "She is lucky." "So am I unlucky for you?" "You never noticed how good I was at other things" "We didn't have water supply in the building" "I was the one who got us 24-hour water supply" "I used to score less than Sarika in the exams... so I would forge your signature on my report cards" "Should I sign these?" "They are asking me which organs are to be donated" "Liver, kidney, skin, eyes" "I'll sign these and give away all the organs" "It's become a big social issue" "You've promised people land and mangoes" "They have come here to claim their share" "You spoke about me to everybody." "Why didn't you ever talk to me?" "Mr. Gajanan Kamerkar" "Get up and talk to me" "You have only till noon tomorrow" "No one can help you after that" "I have already resolved your political issue" "I have quit politics" "Good morning, brother" "Tea" "May I sit here for a moment?" "Sure" "Is your father in the ICU?" "Yes, my father" "It's all happening at the wrong time" "Very sorry for you" "Is your father admitted here too?" "Not at all" "My father is fine" "Brother... don't you worry" "I'll help you in any way you need" "What are you trying to say?" "Help?" "Let me explain" "One is emotionally charged in a situation like this" "We tend to overlook trivial matters" "Things like the pot, the red cloth" "You'll also need the bier" "You need to write to your relatives about the funeral rites... immersion of the remains at Benares, Haridwar" "We have a special package for these arrangements" "We arrange for every detail" "A unique, essential and personal service" "RIP funeral rituals services" "It is going to happen at noon, right?" "It will be 2 pm by the time they hand over the body to you" "One doesn't know how long it will take after the ventilator is turned off" "I will arrange for everything" "You don't have to worry about a thing" "Do you have a crow?" "A crow?" "After death, on the 13th day, there's a crow ritual" "If a crow accepts food from us, we believe that the soul is free of all bonds" "I'm sure you have a crow in your package" "I understand your emotions" "That is exactly how I would react if I were in your shoes" "You're hurt" "Never mind." "Please keep my card" "May God bless you" "Yes, this is for you" "Be careful, it's hot" "Good morning" "Good morning" " Pritam, have you had breakfast?" "Yes" "Tatya, did you sleep well?" "Yes" "Your house is beautiful" "Hurry UP" "Get ready" "I just have to wear my pants" "Shall we leave right away?" "I'll go ahead with Ashwin" "You get ready and join us" "Hurry up Tatya, we have to go to the hospital" "Careful, you'll burn your tongue" "Sir" "Bhau left for the hospital early in the morning" "He came home early yesterday and went to bed without having dinner" "Here" "At 12 noon, after it's taken off the ventilator, we'll discharge the body... and we'll shift the body to the ward" "Gajanan Kamerkar" "Organ donation form?" "Organ donation form?" "You haven't marked any organs" "If the organs are healthy, they may save lives" "Sometimes, 12 lives are saved by 1 body" "In this case, all the organs are intact" "Please consider it since we don't have much time once the body is dead" "Sir?" "Sir!" "You need to sign as the witness" "Is there any surgery to change the brain?" "Brain transplant?" "No, not yet." "It's extremely complicated" "Next" "So, did the coin come out?" "You have your machine" "Why don't you run it over him and see if it beeps?" "Did I interrogate you about what you had for breakfast?" "Come on" "Did you sleep well?" "There's our coin" "Is the coin out?" "We are here to find out" "Did it make a sound in the morning?" "Daddy" "So finally where will they take the body?" "Home or straight to the crematorium?" "It's not practical to take it home and then to the crematorium" "People will have to hop from one place to the other" "It should be wrapped up quickly so that everyone can get back to work" "Don't bother telling him, he is busy with his son" "Go get it checked" "Make sure you show us the x-ray before 12 noon" "Pat" "Pat" "You've grown so tall and so sweet" "My dearest" "Look at Lata's husband, he's a divorcee" "This is his second marriage" "Really?" "It's OK in the USA" "Hey Patty" "Everyone will rush to them" "Pritam will flaunt his amazing 'English'" "Pritam" " You've grown, you're bigger" "In the well... swim... strong..." "powerful... hospital..." "Come" "Prasanna" "This is one of our old family albums" "There are some photos of Uncle Gaju in there" "You will need this later" "When you need a photo to frame" "Bhau, Lata is here" "We'll be downstairs" "Haven't you two made up yet?" "I was about to take him some tea" "But he had already left, without telling anyone" "These are old habits." "Won't change so soon" "You're going to donate the organs, aren't you?" "The body will be transferred to the mortuary" "Gajanan Kamerkar" "You still haven't signed the consent form" "Sign here" "Are you ready for magic?" "Yes" "Wow" "That is our entire family" "That is such an old picture of mine" "Be grateful you have hair in it" "Family tree!" "That's wonderful" "There's the tree." "Can you find Ajit's mangoes on it?" "It's just like the tree in our fields" "Has he understood a word of what you're saying?" "I am sure he understands Marathi" "Pat-rao, you understand Marathi?" "Just a little" "My little Pat, come to your Grandma" "Come to me, sweetheart" "Sit with me, sit with Grandma" "Look how this little one, who lives in the USA... has brought our family together" "We live here but we rarely meet each other" "Only at weddings... and funerals" "Why do we do that?" "Give it to me" "I'll take care of it" "Needs to be finely trimmed" "I'll call you back" "It's out" "X-ray clear" "Show me" "Good" "How many bananas you must've eaten" "Enough of your magic tricks now" "The coin is gone?" "Yes" "Just a minute" "I need to speak to all of you" "Have you changed the decision?" "Uncle, don't worry about this decision" "There are several other things to worry about" "This is the hospital bill" "One lakh seventy five thousand rupees" "Dada, let me handle that" "Hang on" "Just wait and watch" "How could it be so much?" "Is this a hospital or a luxury hotel?" "Prasanna won't be able to pay this bill" "You want us to pay it?" "He should've thought about it before admitting him here" "True." "How can we afford to pay it?" "This is for Uncle Gaju" "Think of all that he has done for us" "We do not have so much money to spare" "Mumbai is an expensive city to live in" "Even if we go back to the village, how do we earn a living?" "You must try living in the village." "It's a tough life" "Try putting yourself in a woman's position" "She is absolutely right" "How do you think we can afford to pay this bill?" "I don't even have a room of my own back there." "I'm still fighting for it" "Exactly!" "That is exactly why we were all going to have... a meeting in the village." "To sort these issues" "Let's sort them right here" "We still have a half hour till the ventilator is switched off" "Let's put an end to it right here" "Consider this your big meeting" "How can we resolve this in half an hour?" "It will be a long discussion" "These problems are age-old and complicated" "Let's begin with the small ones" "My problem is an important one" "No record has been kept of the mangoes for the past 20 years" "Rajan and Pritam eat all the mangoes" "They do, yes" "Hang on" "I haven't said anything about this matter so far" "But let me set the record straight" "Yes, please do" "Who takes care of the trees?" "Who removes the bee-hives from the trees?" "It is the same with the house" "You come and stay for a couple of days, like you're on vacation" "Do you think it's a holiday-home?" "It's our ancestral home" "And there's Tatya" "He has no children" "Who takes care of him?" "Just tell me what the maintenance cost is" "Is Tatya a motor pump that needs maintenance?" "Do humans need maintenance?" "Why drag Tatya into this?" "Drag Tatya2?" "How dare you?" "May I say something?" "Please do" "Should I ask for my mother's share?" "Have I ever asked for a part of the ancestral home?" "Why don't you?" "You might as well" "Are they fighting, Dad?" "No, darling" "They're just talking" "That's how Indian families talk" "They stick together despite their differences" "That's the beauty of the Indian family" "Well, I don't get it" "What topic is this?" "What about the mangoes?" "I'll come in a minute" "Hi" "My name is Pat" "Nice to meet you" "My name is Prasanna" "Nice to meet you too" "Come, sit" "Where are you on this chart?" "This is me" "You look different" "That's your mum" "But where's your dad?" "Is he here?" "Is he fighting too?" "No" "He doesn't know how to fight" "He's a good man" "That's what people say of him" "Then where is he?" "He's unwell" "He's upstairs" "He's on the ventilator" "So sorry" "Are you feeling sad?" "Sad?" "I don't know, actually" "You want to see my father?" "Yes, yes" "See?" "This is my father" "Isn't he handsome?" "This is my sister." "This is her cycle... but it's my favourite cycle" "My sister is on the cycle and my father is teaching her how to ride it" "I am standing behind them" "My sister and Father, Father and my sister" "All these photos, they are all mostly my sister's" "She was lucky for my father" "I understand" "I was..." "I was OK with my mother" "My father and I were 'katti' with each other" "We still are" "You know 'katti'?" "No" "It's... it's a small fight" "Goes on for a few days, months, years" "It's still going on" "Uncle, don't you have a baby photo of yourself?" "No, I don't have a photo of me when I was a baby" "Maybe... it's because my father didn't like me" "Or perhaps he didn't have a camera back then" "But I had one" "Look Prasanna, what do you see?" "30 years ago, our Gaju stood in a hospital like this... before a glass window like this" "In the morning he got a call at office" "Manda was in labor." "She was bleeding as well" "He was baffled" "How could she go into labor in the 7th month?" "He couldn't understand it" "He didn't have any time to think about it" "He rushed Manda to the nearest government hospital" "The doctor said if the baby wasn't delivered immediately... both the mother and baby's lives would be in danger" "Gaju had no time to consult with any of us" "The baby, all covered in blood, and smaller than the palm of his hand... was delivered by the doctor" "The baby's nostrils were thinner than the saline tubes, tiny and delicate" "Cleaning the blood from the baby's tiny nostrils... made the doctor breathless" "But the doctor didn't give up" "He managed to clean the baby's nose before it suffocated" "But the tougher task lay ahead" "It was a government hospital... and they didn't have the incubator meant for premature babies" "The doctor stepped out and said the baby would survive... only if it were shifted to a private hospital nearby" "Gaju wrapped the baby in cloth and rushed to a private hospital" "The doctors there were shocked" "They couldn't believe he had brought in a new-born baby just like that" "They put the baby in an incubator" "The baby weighed less than the total weight... of those tubes in its nose and mouth" "They could hear his heartbeat" "One felt his skin would tear if you touched it, it was so thin" "It was through a window like this that Gaja looked... at his son entangled in a net of tubes" "The doctor came out and said..." "'There is a 1 percent chance that this baby will survive" "It's up to you to decide how long you will keep the baby in the incubator'" "Within the fraction of a second Gaja replied, 'Doctor, he is my son" "Do what it takes to save him'" "That 1 percent chance our Gaju took, 30 years ago, Prasanna, for you" "He is your father" "He may have been wrong" "But why do you hold it against him for your whole life?" "When he dies, there'll be nothing you can do but repent" "Bhau, I want my father" "Don't tell me" "Go tell your father" "He is on his way, on a long journey, never to come back" "You were God-like, you were my God" "When I played with you, you were my plaything" "I was the Wise One, you were the Crazy One" "For my sake, you spent everything you had" "Today, let me pay back everything I owe you" "If I am to live on, I can't do it without you" "Father..." "Please, please wait" "Father..." "My feet burn from the heat of my tears" "Call out to me, give me your hand... please give me breath again" "Father, please say something..." "Something, please..." "Say something..." "Please... say something" "Father, wait on" "Father, don't leave for far away" "Father, you wait..." "Bhau had warned us not to switch the ventilator off" "His son Prasanna will come to see him" "Raja... look, Prasanna is here" "We didn't switch the ventilator off" "Bhau was right" "Your father will be happy" "His Prasanna has come back home" "He must be content" "Go" "Meet him"
