this table, this bed..

Everything is mine.

Nothing is yours.

What is your name?

Arjun

Go and get him.

Sir is calling you.

Sir?

You call Papa 'Sir'?

Tell 'Sir' that l'm coming.

I'm coming.

Sir is getting angry.

Next time you'll have no hair left.

Little brother..

Big Brother..

Coming. Coming.

You're slow..

Good evening Uncle.

Here.. Here also..

And who is this?

As big as your uncle..

- Hello.

His voice broke..

Good evening Auntie.

- Good evening.

He is so handsome!

Handsome my foot.

Good evening to Auntie,

And only a 'hello' for me?

Well done..

Where is my hug?

Good to see you.

Listen..

Heard you were a bad boy at school..

Who was she?

- Nobody.

I went to see a film with friends.

At Rivoli?

- Yes.

We used to see lots of films there.

Good one?

Don't know. We had to run back.

- Why

Our warden was there.

Who?

- Rathod.

Big moustache.

- Yes.

Who made him a warden?

He used to be a peon.

Not him.. His son.

He has a moustache too?

Yes.

Come in. Our moustache is watching.

So big man

What now?

College

- College!

Everyone goes to college.

What will you study?

Arts, Literature.

Why not science?

I want to be a writer.

Wow!

What will you write?

Poems, novels, stories, or jokes?

Everything

- Nothing.

He'll write nothing

He will study

engineering and work in my factory.

He wants to study literature.

What's wrong with that?

Writers are respected these days.

Respect won't feed him..

Writers only grow

their hair like girls,

wear a kurta, carry a bag..

And think they're brilliant.

But they're not.

Then they die. Either from hunger.

Or as frustrated alcoholics.

If he lives in my house

he has to obey my rules.

I don't want to work in a factory.

Did I ask for your opinion?

Did anyone?

What are you staring at?

I'll whack you so hard your

eyes will fall in your plate.

Lower your eyes and eat your food.

See how cheeky he is Jimmy?

What would our father have done,

If we had behaved like this.

He would've melted our bones

along with steel in the furnace.

And if we'd been kicked out

of the best school in India..

Do you know

what he would have done?

We'd be out on the streets

till we proved our worth.

If you don't behave yourself

I'll treat you the same way.

At least your father would've

met you once in eight years..

No, no.. He's just a child..

Child? He's insolent.

Let me go..

Hardly has a moustache..

And talks back to his father.

I'm talking to you..

How dare you..

Stop, Stop.. You'll kill him.

Let him go..

Enough.

Why do you talk to him like that?

He doesn't understand any other way.

He brought you into this world.

Mummy did that..

He is your father.

What kind of a father is he?
