Love Per Square Foot

Sanju!

Your father's done. Come down.

The bathroom is vacant now.

What's the point?

The pressure is gone now.

Do re do re me fa so

- Your attention please.

- Sanju!

Sanju, open the door.

I need that bottle of phenyl. Sanju!

Your attention please.

Sanjay, please get this key fixed.

It's been a decade but this

key has not been fixed yet.

Sanju!

Don't talk to me when

I am in the bathroom.

Give me some space.

Your father's retiring in a month.

Then we won't have this space either.

Your attention please. Perfect.

Your attention please.

Reading the newspaper in the

bathroom is such a bad habit.

Concentrate on the job at hand.

209 Duronto Express

We have a dozen bathrooms

in our Kanpur home.

You can keep one for yourself.

You'll get your so called 'space'.

Sanju, come out!

Wait! I am coming.

You folks can leave when he retires.

I am a Mumbai-bred boy

and I am staying here.

You'll know when you'll

have to pay the rent.

No rent! I'll get my own place.

We spent a lifetime moving from

one railway-quarters to another.

How will you get your own place?

I'll manage.

Do re mi fa...

Your father's been stuck

on the 'Fa' key for ages!

But you haven't fixed that yet.

Such a selfish kid!

I told you I'll get it fixed.

Anyway, he is a railway

announcer, not a singer.

Shut up!

You continue.

Mom, now only you have to do all this?

I am getting late for work.

How many times will I

keep altering this gown?

Every time you try it, it's loose.

What's the hurry?

There's still time.

Still time! Look

after the dress, girl.

And that BMC keeps

sending eviction notice.

- Yesterday also they sent one, you know.

- Yeah, yeah.

There's chalk all over the house.

All because of that bloody Mario.

Full day jumping, pumping,

with his wife on the bed.

Oh Mario!

Give that to me.

Mario! Even God rested

for one day, you idiot!

Mom!

One day they will come crashing

down in the middle of it.

Then why don't you leave?

Go to Canada. Live with Uncle Willy.

So many times he's asked you to come.

I'll find a place on rent.

I can afford it now.

The wedding will happen

when it has to happen.

Yeah, but when?

This building will become my grave.

Only then will you say I do?

I don't.

Jesus!

Mario! It's 8 o'clock in the morning.

You got no other work or what?

Your attention please, passengers

Your attention please, passengers

The local traveling drom

Borivali to Churchgate

is running two hours

behind its scheduled time

Passengers are requested

They can do what they want

Come on, dude, keep moving on

A glass of juice and

Fritters to go

Out of space, but always

room in the heart

The city never sleeps,

Always running fast

Long queue for tickets, but no time

Without tickets,

Better make yourself scarce

Pushed and shoved around,

And also got slapped

International, all the local places

Think deep, and in bold

The world's crazy

Missed the ferry

Flying ferry, Morning Ferry

Life is a hustle

Tension in full swing

But don't worry,

Just say what's on your mind

Your attention please, passengers

Your attention please, passengers

If you missed one,

Next one's on the way

Your attention please, passengers

Your attention please, passengers

Your attention please, passengers

If you missed one,

Next one's on the way

Your attention please passengers

Failed to pay the rent

And the landlord's on your back

Even the message couldn't be sent

Because I'm out of balance

Spent the night on the

Platform again, my friend

Even though everyone rejected me

But Mumbai's got my back

Watching movies in black

Juhu Beach's a date site

Public's on a budget tight

And back home daily fight

Situation's pathetic,

And out of control

My mind's crazy

Pointless blabbering daily

Polished my shoes and moved ahead

I guess you can find

Clean India only where

It's a business, rest is too bad

Doesn't matter, it all goes

Now I deserve a tea break

Your attention please, passengers

Only for Ladies

Your attention please, passengers

Hey, kid!

If you missed one

Make some room

Your attention please, passengers

I salute you, Lord Acyuta,

Keshava, Rama, Narayana

I salute you, Lord Krishna,

Damodara, Vasudeva, Hari

I salute you, Lord Sridhara,

Madhava, Beloved of Gopikas

I salute you Lord Ramachandra

the Lord of Janaki

Hare Rama Hare Krishna

Hare Rama Hare Krishna

The milk-cake.

You dog!

Don't take advantage of my situation.

Take your hands out.

Take your hands out.

Excuse me?

Someone is picking my pocket.

Hold this.

Be careful!

That's not the pocket.

Catch him! Thief! Thief!

- Aren't you ashamed of picking pockets?

- Mister, the train!

I'll take the next train.

I'll show you who you're messing with.

I'll hand you over to the police.

Stop it now.

It's alright, forget it.

Hey! Return his wallet.

Such a well-dressed thief!

Do you know how hard middle-class people

work to earn this money? And you...

What else can I do, sir? What can I do?

I've to pay my rent, sir.

If I don't pay my rent today

my landlord will kick me out.

These are crocodile tears.

That's enough.

He's desperate.

Forget it, let him go.

I know that you've got personal problems

but what you're doing is wrong.

Make an honest living. Work hard.

- Wait, I will...

- It's alright.

- No, I get it.

- It's alright, sir.

I said shut up!

Did you pick my wallet too?

Sorry, sir.
