play will ruin my life.

All play and no work

will make me succeed.

Mahi, wait!

Mahi!

Mom,

Mahi wants to say something.

Tell her.

What is it, Mahi?

Mom, I've been selected

for the school's cricket team.

So?

So, I have to practise for

2 hours every day after school.

And your studies?

I'll do it when I come back.

Honestly.

Just talk to dad.

Please, Mom.

And his studies?

- He'll do it after he comes back.

What do you mean by he'll do it?

- He'll manage.

His heart is set on it.

Come here.

Yes, Dad.

When did you catch

this cricket fever?

Today.

Fine, but don't let

it affect your studies.

Not even a bit.

- Yes.

What am I?

What do I do?

- You're a pump operator.

That's why I keep insisting

that you study.

Don't be like me.

Sports has its own importance.

But only if you study hard

will you be successful.

Understand?

Yes.

Go.

It's so hard to get

a government job these days.

Rs. 400 for that one.

- Oh, no!

And this one?

- Rs. 200.

Fine, how much for this one?

- Rs. 80.

Hurry up,

I'm getting late for practice.

Who told you to schedule

the practice on Sunday?

Yes

- Fine, final price is 60.

I won't pay more than 50.

He won't give it.

Let's go, let's go.

50 isn't possible.

- Okay, fine.

Ma'am..

Good shot! Who's next?

What are you doing?

You're bowling so short.

Come on, Sanjay.

Good ball, good ball. Next!

Great!

- Good shot again!

Next, quickly!

Aakash?

- Yes, Mahi.

Will you let me bat for a while?

Mr. Banerjee only

makes me do wicket-keeping.

What are you doing?

Bowl properly.

No.. I said 50.

Okay, 55 and it's yours.

Oh, God!

- 50 and that's final.

Just give it to her!

- Okay.

Weigh it first. Come on.

- Quickly.

Give him 50.

- I am, hold on.

Fine?

- Fine, fine.

Cut the pieces.

Mahi is stretching like

he's going to whack the ball.

Sanjay, bowl him an easy ball.

Whoa!

Good shot, Mahi, good shot!

Here's your money.

Take it.

What's the hurry?

You don't understand anything.

- Yes!

Because you're the
