What the Fish

---

International airport. My foot!

They make you walk

for three kilometers.

Stand in a queue

for hours for a taxi.

And, you end up in this jalopy.

And..

I don't get it.

Why can't you keep

the luggage in the trunk?

Madam, this is a CNG.

It won't fit.

What if it falls down?

It's tied to the carrier.

Why will it fall down?

You don't expect

it to float in midair.

It can start raining!

Anything's possible.

I won't pay a single

penny if they're damaged.

Madam. It's prepaid.

- So, drive me up a tree.

Do you know how to

get to Vasant Kunj..

...or do I have to tell you?

- I know.

Come on. Drive faster.

Misti's waiting for me.

Hello.

- Hello.

Hello, sister.

- Bless you.

You're my sister.

So, you should call sometimes.

...to find out whether

I'm dead or alive.

Oh, God.

Can't say about others,

but he'll certainly kill me.

Sorry, madam.

That breaker came out of nowhere.

So will the police station.

Drive carefully.

Sorry, madam.

Who are you yelling at?

- My luck.

What's wrong?

How did you return so soon?

How's Bu nty?

- Bu nty.

Good for nothing.

His actions...are disgusting.

At least he's settled down.

- All rubbish.

Have you ever heard

a decent person say..

"Papa New Delhi." Disgusting people.

He's quit his nice job, and..

...working at the same

place as that wretch as a chef.

He's a cook now.

Now, he wears that white hat around..

...and calls himself "Mr. Chef".

- Yes.

Just wait and watch. These

people who use beautiful girls..

...to trick boys,

run out of luck soon. - Hello.

Sister, I can't hear you.

Look ahead and drive carefully.

Sorry, madam.

Seems like a bad day today.

It's never good for anyone.

What's grandpa got

to do with the theft?

If he isn't,

then it isn't our business isn't?

What?

It means, we're specialist.

...Into crimes against

senior citizens, only.

We'll have to file a report

and submit it to our superiors.

You're worried about your job.

I lost 2 lakhs.

30,000 in cash

and the rest in stock.

Stock? What do you stock?

Sir, this is an aquarium.

So, I won't store motor-pans here.

Sir, I didn't know..

"There's such huge

profits in fish business.

How much were you insured for?

Since when did fish

started getting insured?

Do you get it done?

No need to feel offended.

People often set

their factories ablaze..

...for the insurance money.

- That's true.

By the grace of God,

business was picking up.

I made a profit of 35,000 this month.

Madam, the Metro

construction's up ahead.

Are you giving me a tour of Delhi?

It won't cost you extra.

It's prepaid.

- You just try charging me extra.

Take a right.

Take a right.

Fine. Fine.

Are you blind!

Sorry, madam.

Tuck it in!

Tuck it in!

No, aunty. What are you doing?

No, aunty. You cannot do that.

If I see you again..

- Never.

You'll land in the Emergency room.

Never, aunty.

Hey!

Who's going to take

the luggage inside?

Don't leave out here.

Why isn't it opening?

Mistu!

Baby.

Mistu, my baby.

Come to mama.

Mama.

Mistu, mama.

Misty.

Hello.

Hello, Suman.

- Yes, aunty.

I won't spare that fool.

- What's wrong, aunty?

I checked. Everything's okay.

Nothing's fine.

How did Misty get fat?

What did...he feed her?

- Aunty, please.

We did just like you instructed.

Misty's food.

Water the money-plant.

He even kept the house clean.

This isn't Misty.

She has more dots.

- Aunty. Don't talk rubbish.

Are you wearing your glasses?

First of all,

Sumit looked after your house.

And, you're taunting him instead.

You've grown so audacious.

"Are you wearing your glasses?"

Misty.

You will never stop taunting, aunty.

Well...the truth always hurts.

But, what's the problem?

- Your relationship.

Relationship?

- There's no trust, or faith"

Aunty..

- Nor commitment.

It's so dirty.

- What?

And this so called "Falling

in Love" of your generation.

It's not love,

it's simply falling in bed.

Sumit looked after your house

for an entire month, aunty.

And still he's not

good enough for you.

It's not that difficult.

"Feed the fish."

"Water the plants."

A half-wit who

can't handle basic chores..

...won't support you for long.

Once you get to my age..

You will know what's right"

Aunty!

Thief! Thief!

Witch!

Witch!

Aunty?

Aunty?

Aunty?

Aunty?

"Problems sneak-in

through backdoor."

"Disgrace in disguise."

Aunty?

"Depression's full on high."

"Fly takes a nosedive."

Aunty?

"The mind's in a dilemma."

"They all say one by one."

"The worlds no place to live,

everyone's got bad intentions."

"Fish is looking for food, and

the plant's looking for water."

"Aunty, the world's a tug-o-war."

"Aunty, help me out."

"Aunty, the world's a tug-o-war."

"Aunty, help me out."

"The fish in the water is thirsty.

"Why's the witch so emotional?"

"When bad luck hits.

Tension follows."

"When the crow s,

how can it be good luck."

"You've run out of luck,

life's a cheapskate."

"Misfortune's eating my brain."

"The mind's in a dilemma."

"They all say one by one."

"The worlds no place to live,

everyone's got bad intentions."

"Fish is looking for food,

and the plant's looking for water."

"Aunty, the world's a tug-o-war."

"Aunty, help me out."

Puneet, please preview

this tape for me.

I've to rush for a shoot. And

it needs to be submitted urgently.

Please.

- No chance.

I don't have the time.

- Please...

Hey, Ash. I'll do it.
