Hello!

My name is Mangifera

indiga oestoflawa...

...quadrifida rufocosttatta

filfiliana microcarpa odoratta...

...orophila torcanda

sumiliziliania superba Gurav.

You may ask me, how this

Gurav came in my name?

But let me tell you,

it's my surname.

Because, my halt in this

house may be seasonal...

...but I'm born in this clan.

My ancestor were

born in this clan. Yes.

In the Gurav family.

The eldest Gurav in

the house is Anna Gurav.

He reads the horoscope.

He makes the calculation

of one's life and death...

...depending on the

relative position of the planets.

Look at the time.

How much one should wait?

Brothers, we waited enough.

Now please start the meeting.

Will you listen to me?

- It took lot of our time.

I'm the village head. Am I mad

to wait here for Anna Gurav?

No matter how he's, but he's

the forecast of this village.

For the villagers,

Anna is their God.

But for Anna, his God

resides in his mother...

...I mean our

grandmother Kusumavati Gurav.

Anna loves her a lot.

Look, doctor says, soon

you'll start speaking...

...if you take this medicine.

Yes, I know.

You're going to live

more than 90 years.

I've read your horoscope.

C'mon, open your mouth.

Yes. Very good.

Okay! Anna would never

step out of the house...

...without taking her blessings.

Okay, I'll take your leave now.

Hello!

- Hello!

Is this Mr. Gurav's house?

- Yes, that's right.

Parab here.

- Parab?

Okay. I'll call him.

Anna's wife,

Mai and Ajeet's wife Nandini...

...are totally different than all.

They'd never cross their limits.

Yes! Yes, hello!

- Hello.

Are you coming today?

- Yes, that's why I called up.

Come sharp at 6 o'clock 4 minute...

...and 25 seconds in the evening.

Okay... okay...

- Hello! Hello!

Bless you!

Throat is choked?

- She's observing silence.

Oh! Let it be. See you.

Mai wanted to stop siring

after a son and a daughter.

And after she had twin daughters...

...her decision was final.

As the horoscope

suggested fourth daughter...

...Anna convinced her and

Anandi came into their life.

She's our Ankita.

She pretends to be very

shy type of girl at home.

But in the outside world,

she's totally opposite.

Where are you heading to?

For the computer classes.

Is it necessary to go today?

Yes. Otherwise, sir has

said he'll commit suicide.

What?

I mean, he said he'll kill me.

Yes, he'll kill me. Shall I go now?

Come soon. Your would-be

husband is expected at home.

Shut up, you idiot.

Anandi?!

- That's what I was telling her.

This is a routine

with Anna Guav now.

What do you mean?

We keep waiting for him

and he'd never come on time.

Must be busy reading the horoscope.

He never steps out of the house

without finding the right time.

Idiot fellow farted in the temple.

Are you done?

What's this?

Does he check horoscope

before attending nature's call?

Mind you language.

You're in the temple and

not into your broker's house.

Ajeet!

I've spent 30 years of

my life serving Chhajed.

I will neither betray him...

...nor I'd tolerate any

ill words spoken about him.

Otherwise, right here...

- What?

What will you do?

Villagers may by afraid of

you and your Chhajed sir.

But I'm not.

Go and tell him this.

Tell him, I'm here to

answer to his dominance.

"Give such a tough fight."

"Give such a tough fight."

So, Shivram?

Are you alright?

- Anna! Shall we begin?

Why hurry? Wait a minute.

let me check the time.

Okay, now you can begin.

Ajeet!

Mango!

We own the mango gardens.

We own it since many generations.

We took birth in Konkan.

And mangoes grow well...

...in Konkan, so we

own the mango gardens.

But we could neither value

this soil nor the mangoes.

We grow the king of fruits.

And still, we remained beggars.

Mangoes are getting sold for

high prices in foreign countries.

But what do you obtain? Few coins.

Traders come and cry

that there's no business...

...and offer us low prices.

Still we sell them. Why?

We're happy if we obtain

enough to satisfy our basic needs.

Come to the point. Don't advise us.

- Yes.

We should take the mangoes

to the market and sell it.

We should earn the profit.

What's this?

- I'm not convinced. I object.

Keep quiet.

Earning profits.

Don't blabber anything.

Listen! You can sell

mangoes to anybody you wish.

You can make money in

the ways you feel right...

...but don't listen to him.

Nobody in Gurav family

has ever succeeded...

...in this mango business.

They've failed from

last 10 generations...

...and it'll continue for

the next 10 generations.

But he doesn't understand this.

Listen, Ajeet. Stop

thinking about mango business.

And stop provoking them too.

I'm telling you. If you listen

to him, you'll ruin your business.

These are my words.

Anna Gurav's words...

...who strictly believes in

astrology and it's effects.

Otherwise, you can do as you wish.

If business could be

done based on horoscopes...

...then the astrologers would

have become millionaire now.

Listen!

An has reached on the moon...

...and you're still stuck with

your mars, Saturn and Jupiter.

People prefer modern

method of transportation now.

Yes, and that's why

accident cases have increased.

Are you getting me?

They just leave home without

checking the auspicious time.

What are you saying, Anna?

Everybody has to die

some or the other day.
