Sorry, Ria.
I said I'm sorry.
Being sorry doesn't change anything, Sanjay.
Then tell me what I should do.
There's nothing to be done.
That's my point, what can I do?
Shut up, Sanjay.
You'll never understand women.
I can try. Give me another chance?
Don't even talk to me.
Say something, will you?
You just said don't talk to me.
You know what your problem is?
What's my problem?
You suck at relationships.
-I'm sorry, Ria. -What the use in being sorry now?
Ria don't be so mean, buddy.
Can't you see I'm sad?
I'm very sad.
I loved her so much.
And she dumped me, just like that.
It didn't take her even 20 minutes to get over a 20-day affair.
Broke my heart.
Sonia, you hurt me.
My heart's broken.
For the 8th time, Mr. Sanjay Malhotra, over the last 11 months.
Now get up and get over it.
Ria, listen! Hey, Ria! Don't worry, I'm okay.
So, maybe eight girls did break my heart over the last 11 months,
but it was only after I won theirs, right?
-What? -Yes!
Follow your heart, you can change the world.
That's Sanjay and Ria, but this isn't their story.
This is Sanjay's and Anjali's story.
Sanju and Anju, who became friends
long before they knew what friendship meant.
They just knew they couldn't live without each other.
Hey, Prem. What's wrong? Was touching her a crime?
You want what I want.
Tell me, it's thrilling, isn't it?
Not another word.
At my touch, she becomes unworthy of you?
You care so much? What is she?
Your fief, your private property, what?
My friend.
Your friend? Hear that? Can guys and girls be friends?
See for yourself, that's an example of friendship.
This is a good drama played out in the name of friendship.
Prem...
Guys and girls can never be friends. Actually it's a--
You forgot the lines. I win the bet, so you cook.
-I didn't lose. -Oh, no?
Actually, I was just thinking...
Thinking? About what?
This is a film, right? It's different in film.
In real life, can guys and girls be friends?
I mean, just friends. What do you think?
I don't think so.
When a boy and a girl are friends, they either fall in love
or they part ways.
Either way, the friendship is terminated.
What rubbish! Of course, guys and girls can be friends.
Look at us. You are a girl, I'm a boy.
Between us there's none of this so-called love.
-Now tell me. -Listen.
Our story is different. We did go around for a week.
But I knew on day three
that nothing could be more foolish than falling for you.
Get it?
Don't forget that Ria Chowdhury was the first girl to dump you.
Thank you for saving me.
Like she's some beauty queen. I'm special too.
Hello? Yes. May I know who is calling? Just a moment please.
Mr. Malhotra,
If you can spare some time from your busy schedule, it's for you.
-For me? Who is it? -Some girl named Anjali.
Anju? Hey, Anju! What's up? How are you?
How was your trip? Was America fun? How are your parents?
And, what the hell, when did you get back?
Okay, okay, Sanju.
Number one, lots of things are up. Number two, I'm fine.
Number three, the trip was fantastic.
America was fun. Mommy and Daddy enjoyed themselves.
And, what the hell, I got back three weeks ago.
What? Three weeks and you're only calling me now?
This is ridiculous.
Anyway, I hope you didn't forget my list?
Yes, I picked up everything.
But hear me out first. This is very important.
Yeah. Tell me.
-Sanju... -Yes, tell me.
I'm getting married, Sanju.
What? You're getting married?
Yes, I'm getting married.
The wedding is next month. Everyone is coming.
You have to be there. Come here, quick.
You're...getting married?
You've always been a little slow.
Don't waste any time, just pack and take the first flight to Delhi.
If you aren't here by tomorrow evening... Sanju, are you listening?
Yes, I'm just a little surprised.
It's not just you. Everyone's surprised. Everything happened so fast.
Just come here, I'll tell you everything. Okay?
Okay. I'll try my best.
Try means try, huh?
I'm a bit busy over the next few days.
Say hello to Anu and your parents.
Okay, Anjali. Take care, okay? Bye.
Shit.
I can't believe this.
She's getting married?
Who's doing what?
Anju... Anjali is getting married.
Wow, that's great. Wonderful news, right?
Yes, I'm glad, I'm very happy, I'm thrilled.
-Doesn't seem like it. -What rubbish.
I'm glad, I'm very happy, I'm thrilled. It's just a bit sudden, that's all.
Anjali, your childhood friend?
Childhood friend? Tell me about it.
Ever since she was four and I was five.
And we were always together.
School, college, we were buddies.
How silly of Anjali...
Does Anjali have a lovely smile?
Thinking of her smiling makes me smile.
And your cheese omelets?
It's Anjali who makes the real cheese omelets.
In comparison, I suck at it.
But how come you... How come you know all this about Anjali?
I know only bits and pieces.
But I'd like to know more. Want to tell me?
-What do you want to know? -About your friendship.
About your Anju.
About Anju.
What can I tell you?
How do I introduce her?
There's a girl
What can I tell you about her?
There's a girl
What can I tell you about her?
She's crazy
She's different
Every moment, a new attitude
They shower flowers upon her path Heads turn wherever she goes
There's a girl
What can I tell you about her?
There's a girl
What can I tell you about her?
She's crazy
She's different
Every moment, a new attitude
They shower flowers upon her path Heads turn wherever she goes.
There's a girl.
What can I tell you about her?
There's a girl
What can I tell you about her?
Tell me more about her
She'll throw a tantrum
Then, a moment later, she's fine
There's a smile on her lips
If she's quiet, she remains so
Then she suddenly hums
She sings sweet tunes
How can I describe her?
She's one of a kind
They shower flowers upon her path Heads turn wherever she goes
There's a girl
What can I tell you about her?
There's a girl
What can I tell you about her?
Do you miss her?
Every moment
I spent with her
I don't know why They come to me in my dreams
When I remember when we parted
My heart becomes heavy with sorrow
Now we have parted
But I pray for you, my friend
May you find flowers upon your path And make heads turn wherever you go
There's a girl
What can I tell you about her?
There's a girl
What can I tell you about her?
Stop pacing and say something.
I'm wondering if I should tell you.
Why not?
You can't handle the truth.
What rubbish. Tell me.
And you will hear me out?
I will, most patiently. I won't scream, I won't say, "What rubbish."
Now shoot.
The truth is, you're in love with Anjali.
What rub--
I know you think I'm talking rubbish.
Because you don't realize you're in love with Anjali.
From Dehradun to Bombay you didn't take this trip alone.
Anjali came too, hidden in your heart.
And in every girl you met, you tried to find Anjali.
Sonia's hair reminded you of Anjali.
Megha's cheese omelets were passable.
And Ria's smile was a little bit like Anjali's, but not quite.
And how could you find another? Anjali is one of a kind.
You know what?
Every girl who looked into your eyes found,
not herself, someone else.
They saw Anjali.
Do you see, Mr. Sanjay Stupid Malhotra,
the absolute truth about your life.
That's absurd.
See? I didn't crack up.
I didn't say, "What rubbish."
In spite of the fact that I've never heard such a stupid theory.
I told you, you can't handle the truth.
Shut up, dear.
You're getting irritated.
Anjali and me, how can you think that?
If you had any brains, you would too.
What rubbish.
Anjali and I are friends, period.
There's no point in talking to you.
Listen to me.
I don't want to talk to you. Not a word.
I don't want to talk to you, either.
Thank you. Good night.
I don't love Anjali. She's my friend!
She's my friend.
No one wants to listen.
I don't care if you don't want to listen to me.
She's my friend!
You were right.
I love Anjali.
Men are dogs.
We're very selfish.
If you insist, I'll agree.
No, it's true.
Men are dogs.
We take things for granted so easily.
And our convictions are so convenient.
I concluded so conveniently that Anjali was mine.
I mean, she'd always be where she was,
waiting for me to marry her when it was convenient for me.
I never considered that she was human.
That she had her own desires and dreams.
But what if I'm not part of her dreams?
I never thought someone else would come into her life.
But how could Anjali know something I never admitted to myself?
But how could I have told her?
I've only just now realizes how dearly I love her.
Today,
when she's about to marry someone else.
I understand, Sanjay.
Sometimes you only know what you had when it's gone.
What will you do now?
Take the 8:40 flight.
You're going to Dehradun?
Yeah.
Sanjay...
I know it'll be hard for you to see this wedding happen.
Anjali is about to marry someone else and you're...
I'm so proud of you.
Ria, you don't understand. Yes, I'm going,
but not to attend the wedding, I'm going lo break it up.
-What? -Yeah.
Anjali is about to get married, she hasn't done it yet.
I'm the one she's gonna marry.
Because, if you follow your heart...
You can change the world.
-Exactly. -You were right. Men are dogs.
May joys abound
May health abound
May goodwill abound
May sorrow be dispelled
May peace abound
Peace? How am I to keep my peace?
Please, don't be angry. Anjali is like a daughter to you.
That's why, Vishnu. I will hold this against you forever.
I'm her uncle, and you finalized her wedding without consulting me?
My goodness.
You're making a mountain out of a molehill.
You think I'm overreacting? You judge, who's the older brother?
-You are my older brother. -And I'm older than you are.
-I approved this match. -Look, Mother.
-What's your problem? -You're always butting in.
Shut up and touch the sacred fires.
Then give your brother a hug.
-Come on, brother. -You'll get a beating someday.
Mother, I knew my husband was a little afraid of you.
but my brother-in-law too?
No, his wife scares him more.
I'm not afraid of anyone. Pull down the wall, I say.
Ma, if the door isn't facing east...
Mother-in-law, you want to pull down walls just for the wedding?
My dear anglicized son-in-law,
I'd rather tear down walls than defy the scriptures.
Grooms never enter from the west. Good God, it's sacrilege.
So what, Kappo? Lord Rama entered from the west when he was wed.
-How's that? -Ayodhya is west of Mithila.
-How could you forget?
How could you forget, dear brother, that Lord Rama was exiled for 14 years.
Had he observed the scriptures Lord Rama would've been fine.
Can you match that?
Our sister-in-law is matchless.
I've finally convinced him.
I wonder if I could've convinced him to get married.
Anju's wedding is going to be fun.
My sister-in-law happens to be everyone's favorite.
And our wedding was no less grand.
Yes, but there's no sign of that guy who entertained everyone at your wedding.
-Who? -Sanju.
Yes!
You escaped from the Aunt, fatso. I'll pull your hair and make you short.
-Bahadur Singh! -Yes, ma'am.
-Bahadur Singh? -Yes.
-Are the gates clean? -Yes.
Plant some new saplings.
You said the prayers without me?
Sanju!
Sorry, girlfriend, I'm late.
Not that late. There's still a lot to do.
That's what I'm here for.
-Hey, Sanju. -Hello, Uncle!
There you are.
Very good. Very good.
-All set? -All upset.
The engagement is next Sunday, and everyone is in an uproar
I'm going into the office. You take care of everything.
-Is everyone here? -Everyone.
-Uncle, aunt...? -Both.
-I'm gonna make my entrance. -You rascal, go in, I'll join you.
Uncle Shankar, bring in Sanjay's luggage.
-I'll be back in two hours. -No, please...
Hey, girl, I'm gonna pull your hair.
-Hey, buddy -Hey, buddy. Get back.
-Hi, Sanju, how are you? -Good!
First, have you found someone who can straighten you out?
A nice girl, like me?
What can I say? You married him and broke my heart.
But I did find someone. Now I hear she's getting married too.
Poor Sanju.
-Is she a nice girl? -Nice? She's mind-blowing.
-What? More mind-blowing than me? -You're unmeasurable.
She's a little like you.
She could be your little sister.
But what does it matter now?
That boy is incorrigible.
-My obeisances to the Aunt. -Bless you.
Aren't you a little early for a post-wedding appearance?
I would have come earlier, but black cat crossed my path.
-Goodness! What happened? -I took a detour to get here.
-It was the right thing to do. -Forget that, tell me something.
-Have you seen Anju? -I'll see her soon.
Look her up before I leave. I mean, I have to go out.
-Hi, Sanjay. -Hi, brother-in-law.
-How are you doing, man? -Good.
How's business? How's Wall Street treating you?
-Cool. Anjali is upstairs. -Upstairs. Anjali.
-Yes, go on. -Go on.
Uncle Sanju.
Hi, Kutkut, you recognized me?
-Yes, and Grandpa wants to see you. -Good Lord.
-Obeisance, Uncle. -Save the obeisances for later.
Did you get married secretly in Bombay?
-Good Lord. -Good Lord.
I could never get married without your approval.
Look at him, how understanding.
What a good boy. Have you seen Anjali yet?
-Sanju, you haven't seen Anjali yet? -No, Nilu.
But why is everyone going on about Anjali?
-Sanju, what's this I hear? -Hello, Grandma.
Bless you. You haven't seen Anju yet?
I will, please sit down.
-What's the hurry? -But of course,
Sanju, here you are. Anjali is waiting for you.
-Where? -Upstairs. Come on.
-Let me say hi to everyone. -Later. Now come along.
Come on, we've been waiting for you.
I mean, Anjali's been waiting.
-Waiting for me. Why? -How should I know?
That's between you and Anjali.
Go on, she's waiting. Excuse me.
Now he's ﬂoored.
Anjali.
Today, little Anju, you've had it.
You just wait.
Getting smart with Sanju?
Today, I'm gonna beat you!
You won't get away from me. Scared?
-You dog, you. -What is it?
-Come, come, come. Come on. -What?
What?
-Anju. -Sanju.
-You won't get away from me now. -Come on, come on.
Yes.
Got you.
-They're a nice couple, no? -Yes.
Could've been better. Could've been you.
That's what I always thought.
Whatever we think, marriages are made in heaven.
It could've been different.
Nilu could've been my Aunt Nilu.
If you're in love Why is the heart afraid of love?
Greetings, sister-in-law.
-How are you? -Hello, Mr. Khanna.
Weren't you supposed to be here yesterday?
I can leave if you want.
I just couldn't stay away.
I went to Delhi for few days, but I couldn't stay there.
-Where's our girl? Where's Anjali? -Anju!
-I'm here. -There she is.
-Samosas. For you. -Bless you.
No. First, what did you bring from Delhi?
Is she blackmailing me?
Wait till you're married. Then I'll make you
cook hot samosas for me every day.
I could, but your son, the doctor, will he let you eat fried food?
Between you, me, and the samosas, how did that fool crop up?
Uncle.
When will Rohit get here?
-Sanjay, come here. -Yes.
-Sanjay is Mr. Malhotra's son. -The late Mr. Malhotra?
-The one whose house I bought? -Yes.
So you're Sanjay. I was hoping to meet you.
We've never met, but I know your entire history.
Anju talks about you all the time.
When she's over she's always saying, "This was Sanju's room,
this is where we played carom," so on and so forth.
Please come over someday. It's your house.
It was. Now it's yours.
Anjali still calls it Sanju's house.
Silly, She doesn't even realize where she's going.
Excuse me.
After Mr. Malhotra died in the accident, he moved to Bombay.
He's doing well.
Destiny is strange.
He was motherless, then, at 20, he lost his father too.
But he didn't break down.
He's a brave kid.
I like that boy.
-It's still here? -Yes!
Last year there was talk of cutting down the branch. I cried for three days.
I went on a hunger strike for two days, and Papa relented.
Why didn't you let him cut it down if he wants?
How could I? You made this swing.
We sat on this swing for hours and plotted our mischief.
-Come on, sit. -I hope it doesn't break.
If it hasn't broken in all these years, why would it break now? Come on.
You see? An old relationship never lets you down.
-Go on, ask. -What?
I know what your tricky head is full of.
-And what's that? -Questions, countless questions.
-About him. -Who's him?
About Rohit, you fool. Who else? Everyone is asking about him.
But I haven't told anyone anything.
Because I wanted you to be the first to know.
Rohit. Where do I begin?
Last year, Rohit's father came to live in your house.
Did Papa tell you about that?
Rohit has never been here.
He lives in America. He's a doctor.
His father is very nice.
He started socializing with us.
His house was always like a second home to me, ever since we were kids.
Everyone was worried about my trip to America.
Rohit was there. Uncle Khanna told us
that there was no reason to worry.
That reassured Papa, but I was so nervous.
Remember, I called you from the airport?
The prospect of traveling to America all alone was so daunting.
You were the one who gave me the courage.
If it wasn't for your encouragement,
I might never have met Rohit.
Only a fool shoots himself in the leg,
and I stepped right into the line of fire.
I couldn't know then.
I never expected that a few days with Rohit would lead to this.
We had just met each other,
we had barely gotten to know each other
when his father made the proposal.
Papa asked me and I said yes.
And now we're getting ready for a wedding.
Sanju, I need your encouragement again.
I'm so nervous.
I'm getting married for the first time.
But you're here now and I know everything is going to be fine.
My wedding is going to be a memorable one.
-Anjali, come here. -Coming, sister.
It'll be a memorable wedding, for sure.
Neither you nor Rohit will ever forget it.
Don't worry. Next time.
You can't do anything.
-Have some paan. -Paan? Thanks, Sanju.
I've had a word with the priest.
The kulfi supplier is confirmed. 5,500.
Perfect. And look...
Bagged the queen already?
Don't worry. He still needs a cover for score.
Here you go.
Uncle, bad luck. You lost your queen.
-That's nothing new for him. -What do you mean?
Ignore him. Put your heart into the game.
It doesn't matter if you win or lose.
What's on your mind?
-Rohit. -What about Rohit?
Unlike you, I know nothing about him.
Did you know that he's a doctor?
-Where? -In America.
Where in America?
Do you have an address? A telephone number? Something?
Anjali would know.
Is that all you care for her?
He wanted to be fully satisfied about the two of you.
While you were wailing for approval,
he was investigating you thoroughly.
Before the wedding was finalized, he knew every detail about you.
Your photo?
Your photo was vetted by even the most distant relative.
Only then was the wedding fixed.
Naturally, it's a brother's duty to vet his sister's prospective suitors.
-And how have you investigated Rohit? -You don't even have his numbers.
Sanju, think before you speak.
Sorry, I said what I felt was right.
It's strange, isn't it?
They're about to get married and no one has even seen the boy's photo.
Well, modern times.
Carry on.
Look, it's fine. He's from a nice family.
Oh, yeah? And we were from bad ones?
No, I mean, his parents are nice.
And our parents were not?
-No, no, look... -What are you saying?
-No, no, uncle. Absolutely not. -Don't shout. Don't shout.
-A photo. Let us see. -Show us a photo.
Quiet, I'm telling you.
Why are the kids bothering you, Anjali?
-She won't show us his photo. -Whose photo?
-Her fiancé's. -I don't have any photos.
Yes, she does.
Uncle, please.
Kids, leave her alone. Go.
Come on, sit beside me.
-Come on, show it to me. -What?
Your fiancé's photo.
Show us, girl.
In my time, I went to town with your grandfather's photo.
I showed him off to everyone, the barber, the tailor, the confectioner.
How nice.
You'll Rohit when he gets here the day after tomorrow.
Listen to that.
You can wait till then if you like.
Or you could come see Sanju, the magic man.
The groom's photo.
How did he get his hands on it?
Rohit's photo?
Where did you find it?
I know every inch of your room.
I want to see it first.
Okay, quiet!
Sanju, don't you dare.
One, two, three!
I heard that you have Selected your life partner
You have decided
Tell us what he's like
I heard that you have Selected your life partner
You have decided
Tell us what he's like
He's incomparable
And everyone thinks he's nice
He never lies
He never creates trouble
All heart, he's clean and honest
Understand, boy?
I heard that you have Selected your life partner
You have decided
Tell us what he is like
Tell us this and explain What's his status?
He isn't ordinary Unlike you, he isn't trash
Tell us this and explain What's his status?
He isn't ordinary Unlike you, he isn't trash
Did you take pity on him?
Did he come to you crying?
Tell me, trust me
The sign that you were hinting at
I know what you're getting at
Got to investigate boys, you know
Be quiet
We've learned that
You've chosen a mate for life
What's he like? What's he like?
Is he quiet? Is he a chatterbox? How boring is he?
Wherever he goes He makes sparkling conversation
Is he quiet? Is he a chatterbox? How boring is he?
Wherever he goes He makes sparkling conversation
Is he Indian? Is he British? Is he an oaf? Is he witty?
Is he brave, like me?
Is he useless?
Will he be a real husband?
Just make sure he isn't like him
Like this or like that
We've learned that
You've chosen a mate for life
Now that you've made your choice
Will you tell us what he's like?
Whatever you heard is absolutely correct
I have chosen my mate But why should I tell you about him?
What's he like?
Why should I tell you about him?
What's he like?
Why should I tell you about him?
What's he like?
-Perfect. -Can I take a walk?
-Whose wedding is it? -Rohit's.
-Who's arriving? -Rohit.
Then Rohit gets the red carpet.
Move it. Not that way. Get lost. Wonder why they selected him.
One minute.
-Strange. No obeisances? -Good Lord.
Greetings.
Bless you.
Grandma, I wanted to pay my respects to you first.
Bless me that I may imbibe, at least in part...
the ethics and the morality that you have taught everyone.
May such come to be.
-Obeisances, Uncle. -May you live long.
-Aunt. -Long live.
On my way, I carried oblations from the temple of the Mother Goddess.
Aunt, this book is for you. Feng shui.
What's that?
Ancient scriptures from China.
-Scriptures! -Your favorite, right?
Wonderful. May you live long.
Uncle, were I a son in this house instead of a son-in-law,
you'd surely expect that before I pay my respects to you,
I should pay my respects to Grandmother and then to Uncle and Aunt.
That's why I hope I wasn't wrong.
No.
Bless you.
It's okay.
Bless you, son.
Welcome, Mr. Khanna.
Come, please.
Let's go inside.
Very good.
Neelu, here as well.
There is a huge terrace garden upstairs.
-Oh, my God. -Huge place, man. And there...
Eternal bachelor, Uncle Lachu, right?
Quite right.
Will you never enter the sea? Will you only watch from the shore?
Why drown yourself to learn what someone else's mistakes can teach you?
Well said, Uncle.
Sanjay.
I'll just be back.
You must be Sanjay.
Yes. Hi.
Hi. I was looking forward to seeing you, buddy.
Sanjay Malhotra. Second most closest guy to Anjali.
First.
You're second.
Cool, I like your attitude, man.
You're just like Anjali described you.
By the way, where is Anjali?
Lord...
Rohit?
I'm here now.
Don't let this silly girl pester you any longer.
She can ask me for anything she wants.
Rohit, what are you doing here?
Like you, I'm praying.
Rohit.
It doesn't feel right for you to be here.
Anjali.
Don't worry.
I asked your grandmother's permission.
-What have you done? -I've fallen in love with you.
-Now what do you want? -I've traveled a long way.
I should be rewarded.
A small hug. Half a kiss. Something.
Mr. Rohit Khanna. you're in a temple.
Oblations is all you'll get here.
I'm making do, Lord, but you must intercede.
What rubbish.
How can he be better you? Sanjay is the best.
No, Ria. I was overconfident.
But I don't compare to him.
Nothing. Zero.
That's what he said to me too.
I think I might make up an excuse and leave tomorrow.
Sanju...
Sanju, listen to me.
Is Anjali there?
Where else would she be?
I mean, is she there with you? Can you see her?
Yes, I can see her.
Only Anjali?
Do you see what you're leaving behind? You did it once.
If you do it second time, will you be able to forgive yourself?
Do you still want to come back?
No, not without Anjali.
And what about Rohit?
Rohit? Forget it, Sanjay is the best.
There you are, Sanju. Anu and Rajesh are expecting you for breakfast.
-They're serving stuffed fried pancakes. -I prefer this.
Put that back. It's an offering to the gods.
Girlfriend.
Okay.
Go see Anjali. She hasn't had breakfast.
She isn't out of bed. What's she up to?
-Say it again. -Anjali.
My name sounds so different when you say it.
Say my full name.
Anjali Sharma.
No stupid, not this one.
The name I'm going to have.
Anjali Khanna. Mrs. Anjali R. Khanna.
Anju, your mother wants you downstairs.
Rohit, I'll have to hang up now, okay? Bye.
Okay.
Hang up.
No, you hang up.
I can't hang up until you hang up.
Hang up.
No, you.
I told you.
Let's do it on the count of three.
One.
Two.
Three.
You didn't hang up.
-Rohit, you're crazy. -Crazy.
No, how many times?
I love you.
Hang up. Please.
Hang up.
Done. Now come on.
Hung up?
I scream, you scream. Hey, girls. How are you doing?
-Cool, man. -Exactly the same.
Okay, this is mine.
Rohit, your chocolate and, ma'am, your boring strawberry.
Why is it boring?
You'll only find out once you try another flavor.
Have you ever tried anything else?
It's not your fault, though. It's your life that's boring.
Look at me, some black currant, some mango, dash of mint.
Lollipop, also. Variety, my dear, is the spice of life.
Right?
But, actually, when I look at you, I think your life's boring too.
For you, I'm sure, Anjali is the first and last girl.
Of course not.
You mean you've had girlfriends? Before Anjali?
-Excuse me, sir. -Yes.
Wow.
Great, dude. Looks can be quite deceptive.
Rohit? Girlfriend?
What do you mean, girlfriends?
Girlfriends are girls who are friends.
But more girl than friend, right?
Rohit, how come I've never heard about your girlfriends?
Maybe because... You don't know?
You never told her? Very bad.
I wanted to tell you, but you aid you weren't interested in my past.
Okay. Fine. I wasn't. Now I am.
Me too. Go on, tell us.
Fine, our relationship will be based on truth.
Ask whatever you want. You have the right to know.
-Well-- -Well, for starts, Mr. Rohit Khanna,
what we want to know is, how many girlfriends?
-Let me think. -Yes, tell me.
I think, four. No, actually, five.
Five? How long ago was the fifth?
About three months.
When you were seeing me, you had a girlfriend?
Yes, but...
when I saw you for the first time I realized that you were the girl
I wanted to spend my life with.
I told her, and she understood.
Really? That's so amazing.
Come on, Anjali. Why get worked up over that?
Everyone has a past. It's natural. If you had a past, I wouldn't get upset.
Anjali's past. I'm Anjali's past.
As boring as her life is, there was no friend, except me.
No chance of your getting upset.
Sanjay, stay out of it. Listen, Rohit, I'm really hurt.
You shouldn't have hidden it from me.
What's there to hide?
Why didn't you tell me?
What's there to say?
Nothing to be said and nothing to hide? What's this all about?
-Nothing. It's nothing, Anjali-- -Nothing?
My fiancé has had five affairs and I didn't know about it until now?
Three happened when I was in school. We were kids.
I don't want to hear this.
Come on, Anjali, people are staring.
Okay. Fine.
I wouldn't want to embarrass you, Mr. Rohit Khanna.
-I'm going. -You can't be serious.
-Sanju. -Anju.
Sanju, will you drive me home?
Can't I eat my ice cream? No. Okay.
Anjali, Anjali.
No hard feelings, buddy. Got to go. Sorry.
No, I'm sorry.
It's my fault.
No, Rohit, it's not your fault,
but I have to do it.
You're so nice, but that's also why you have to die.
You gotta go, Rohit. Away from Anjali. Far away. Forever.
Goodbye.
Poor guy.
He was nice.
Hey, you. Take it easy, man.
Come on. Get up.
Thanks, buddy.
I should be thanking you.
You played a major role in cementing my relationship with Anjali.
How?
In America, Anjali told me about the swing you rigged up for her.
It's a cherished childhood memory for her.
-So, guess what I did. -What?
I rigged up a swing too and I decorated it with flowers.
I kept her eyes shut as I took her to the swing, and that's when I asked her,
"Anjali, will you marry me?"
She opened her eyes, saw the swing,
and she gave me a small smile.
I'm still not sure what she was smiling at, me or the swing.
The swing, of course.
Sanju, you old...
Yesterday, Anjali misbehaved.
If I were you, I'd stop talking to her.
-What? I was about to call her. -Don't be silly.
Have you seen Rajesh? You'll end up like him. Henpecked.
-Take my advice, you needn't call her. -Why?
She fought with you. Let her apologize.
-But, Sanjay... -Trust me, I know her.
You won't have to say anything.
Tonight, at the engagement, she'll apologize.
-It's not your fault -I know.
-Here. -Yes, I'm doing that.
How about a light massage?
-Look at him. -It's the way he is.
What did he say on the phone?
Nothing.
-Surely said something. -He never called.
-Doesn't he call every morning? -Except for this morning.
-Maybe he's out jogging. -That was hours ago.
-Was he all right? -He was enjoying himself.
Said he'd had a good night's sleep. He was looking so fresh.
-I think he's still annoyed. -He is.
-That's why he never called. -Just like a man.
He's not crazy, like me. I would've called ten times by now.
I would've realized my mistake and I would've apologized.
But not Rohit, he'll never do that.
Because he knows
if he takes the first step, you will always have the upper hand.
You can't get the best of Rohit.
He's so smart.
I could never be as clever.
I'll slave for my wife.
Always.
For me? Thank you.
You wanted apologize, didn't you?
Go ahead. He isn't made of stone. He'll forgive you.
Why should Anjali apologize?
Rohit is the one who made a mountain out of a molehill.
Anu, he's Anjali's fiancé. She can misbehave with her friends.
-She can do it with, me, but Rohit-- -I can do it to Rohit too.
And you shouldn't take Rohit's side.
Whose friend are you? Mine or his?
And for your kind information...
I won't to talk to him unless he calls me.
Tell your clever friend that.
But, Anjali...
Anu...
Sanjay, you're a genius.
Nice couple.
Could be nicer.
Could be someone else. Could be...you?
Didn't I tell you? Marriages are made in heaven.
And I say, follow your heart and you can change the world.
Meaning?
It's just an engagement.
Who knows if it will culminate in a wedding?
I don't understand.
Keep watching. You'll see.
The braves will carry their brides home
-Why aren't you talking to me? -I don't want to talk to you.
-Hi. Congratulations. -Hi. Thanks.
Are you annoyed?
-Why didn't you call me? -You didn't call me either.
Bachelor party?
It will be great fun, man.
What are you two smiling about?
Tomorrow--
Tomorrow, we're having a bachelor's party.
-I don't want to talk about it. -What would you rather talk about?
-Thank you. -Thanks.
-When are we coming back from America? -What?
After the wedding, when will we come back on vacation from America?
Whenever you want. Let's get married first.
What do you mean by that?
-Are you trying to be evasive? -Evasive? What are you saying?
We have to decide these things before we get married.
My God.
-Really? -Yes.
But make sure no one finds out.
-No one finds out. -Not a soul.
No one finds out.
No one finds out!
-No one finds out what? -Nothing.
Really? Come here.
I, Rohit Khanna...
-Swear by God... -Swear by God...
-That after I'm married... -That after I'm married...
-My wife Anjali... -My wife Anjali...
-Will once a year... -Will once a year...
Sometimes twice a year...
Sometimes...
-We never discussed twice a year. -You said whenever I wanted.
Yes, but twice a year?
Are you saying that I can't come visit twice a year?
The home where I spent my entire childhood,
where my parents live...
Yes, Anjali, but sometimes we might not be able to make it twice.
I'm a doctor. I have to work, build a career.
Your career means everything? My parents mean nothing?
You won't even give me have such a small request?
Bachelor party.
Now what?
How about we get dinner started?
-Let's go! -Come. Let's go.
What?
And they're not even married yet.
Well done, nephew. Wonderful.
But why party so far away?
Bachelor parties are best done on the sly.
But why?
Because if we women find out about their antics,
the men have had it.
I see.
-Will there be song and dance? -And women.
My sister-in-law says you have to see one of these parties
to see what scoundrels men can be.
Then I'm going, for sure.
He may look innocent, but who knows, your brother might be a scoundrel.
I'm going too. I want to see what Naren is up to.
I need to keep an eye on Raju. Then there's Rohit. They say that
the bachelor could do just about anything.
Let's see what Rohit demands.
Now we're talking.
Wonderful party.
Come on. Let's cheers to Rohit!
No, cheers to Sanjay. He organized this party.
All right, it's all the same. One and the same thing.
No, no, uncle.
-You... -You have to have some.
You're getting too restless.
Look.
-Have a smoke. I'll be right back. -Uncle, and after that...
This is called life.
Cheers.
Cigarette?
Ajit too? What a revelation.
Now I know.
Sanju said it'd be a lively party.
I know, where are the babes?
I can't wait!
You people are strange.
Be patient and you will be rewarded.
I don't mind the sours, but I can't wait.
At this grievous juncture,
before another bachelor falls to the blade of matrimony,
from me and the brotherhood of bachelors,
here is a requiem in the words of Mr. Sanjay Malhotra.
My friend is getting married, but I'm not happy.
Love culminates in marriage, but I'm far from happy.
I stopped him, I tried to reason with him.
For friendship's sake, I told him.
I posed obstacles for him. I lay a thorn in his path.
Like a blossom, I even tried wilting.
He's walking away with the most beautiful flower of spring.
It's like a wedding in Eden, but I'm far from happy.
At my friend's wedding, I'm unhappy.
Love culminates in marriage, but I'm far from happy.
Wow! Very good!
Swaying, gyrating
Lighting fires
I set hearts on fire
A spark, a spark
I'm a spark
My body is like a flame
Don't get too close to me
The one who gets closest to the flame
Gets burned
You fools
Try to understand
Stand back and watch me move
A spark, a spark
I'm a spark
I'm spark
Like lightning I strike
Like a snake I strike
I steal everyone's senses
I'm the ecstasy
I can bring out your true colors
I can be the fragrance on your breath
In a moment, I will raise your heartbeat
A spark, a spark
I'm a spark
A spark, a spark
I'm a spark
Swaying Swaying
Gyrating Gyrating
Swaying, gyrating
Lighting fires
You set hearts on fire
When you move
A spark, a spark
I'm a spark
A spark, a spark
I'm a spark
Hi, Rohit.
Here? All of a sudden? What are you doing here?
I've been thinking, Sanjay.
Ever since I came here, something or other has been going wrong.
Wrong? I haven't noticed anything.
Neither did I, until now. But like I said...
-I've been thinking. -And?
After much deliberation, I've come to a conclusion.
Someone's behind all this.
Someone is trying, very systematically, to break us up.
What are you talking about?
Someone is determined
to stop me from marrying Anjali.
Really?
Who could it be?
"I stopped him, I even tried to reason with him.
For friendship's sake, I told him.
I posed obstacles for him, I lay a thorn in his path.
Like a blossom, I even tried wilting.
My friend is getting married, but I'm not happy.
Love culminates in marriage, but...
Why aren't you happy, Sanjay?
You are the one who doesn't want this wedding to happen.
But why?
There can be only one reason.
You're in love with Anjali.
Come on, pal, admit it.
We're friends, you can tell me.
Yes.
I love Anjali.
Now, that's like true love.
Well, now that it's out in the open, what should we do?
Actually, for you, it's quite simple.
Now that you know everything,
I think you should just go back to America.
-Really? -Yes.
This is my and Anjali's story.
You just came out of nowhere.
You see? Anjali doesn't love you.
Anjali doesn't love me?
Look, for her, you're just a stand-in for me.
My house?
She went to America because of me.
The swing was mine too.
Understand?
In our story, you're my understudy.
Now that I'm here, there's no need for you.
So pack, go back to America.
You don't even need to tell anyone.
I'm here. I'll handle everything.
Sure, you'll handle everything.
But taking your advice might be a bit problematic.
Tell me, I'll solve your problem.
After all, I'm Sanjay, the magic man. So, what's the problem?
The problem is, I love Anjali too.
I can't walk away from her,
certainly not when I'm the one she wants to marry.
That's her mistake, Rohit. I'll make her happier than you can.
That's what you think, Sanjay.
But there's only one way to decide where happiness lies for Anjali.
How?
You love her and I love her too.
Let's both do it.
You don't ask me to go away, I don't ask you to go away.
You can do whatever you want.
If you succeed, then Anjali was never mine.
If you fail,
then it'll be clear that Anjali and I share that eternal relationship.
Why are you wasting your time? You're a nice guy.
Why do you care about Anjali? You have get any girl.
No, Sanjay, there's only one Anjali,
and she can belong to only one of us.
Whose, only time can tell.
I have one advantage.
I'm marrying her in a week.
You're running out of time.
I have 22 years behind me.
You're the one lagging way behind.
-You're gonna lose. -We'll see.
I warned you. The planetary alignment for the engagement was inauspicious.
The boy isn't to blame. He was influenced by the illusions.
-We found out in time-- -Sister-in-law.
I'd rather this wasn't discussed.
Without a discussion, how can we arrive at any conclusions?
It's not the case, Aunt.
Will I be given a chance to defend myself?
What you saw was true, but not true.
I did it, but I wasn't myself.
The circumstances and the ambiance were such that
I thought, if so many people were trying to make me happy,
I should join them so as not to offend them.
I could've walked out
and left them heartbroken.
But in my folly, I broke the heart of...
the man who treated me like his own son.
Well, what are the facts, Uncle?
The fact is, you saw me disgrace myself.
But there's another truth. No one means more to me than Anjali.
And a much bigger truth, Anjali trusts me
and wants to spend her life with me.
And yet another truth, Uncle. You treated me like your own son.
But can I ever be your son?
If I were, you would've forgiven me.
If you won't give me your forgiveness,
I'll never be able to look at myself again.
Never.
You can look anyone in the eye.
After all, you are my son.
What happened?
Don't worry, everything's okay.
Uncle has forgiven Rohit.
I knew... I just knew it. Rohit would bring him around.
That's just who Rohit is, don't you think?
Sanju, in all these days, you still haven't told me.
What do you think of Rohit?
Tell me.
It's a big decision. I took it on my own.
What do you think? Was I right?
Tell me, Sanju, what do you think of Rohit?
Rohit is a nice guy, Anju.
Great guy. He'll make you happy.
Knock, knock.
Rohit.
What did you do to bring Papa around?
I fell in love with you.
-What do you want? -Love.
Why? Couldn't find it at the bachelor party?
I never imagined you'd admit defeat so soon.
You praised me to the skies. Honestly, I was surprised.
How to explain this?
Deep inside the scoundrel Sanjay Malhotra,
there lives a nice, noble Sanjay Malhotra too.
But it takes Anjali's tears to bring him out.
Like you, he's also a fool, being honest, being truthful.
But it's only a matter of a few minutes...
and those few minutes are over.
Which leaves this Sanjay Malhotra, cunning, conniving.
So wipe that smile off your face,
the war is on.
Interesting.
So this is going to be even more fun. Guess why.
Tomorrow will be three months that Anjali and I are together.
I'm going to take her out.
She says, "Impossible," and I say, "You have your magic man.
He'll bring you to me."
Why is that so interesting?
Well, Anjali is about to beg you,
and how will you refuse her?
That'll be interesting?
Besides, the wedding is only six days away.
Only six days.
The earth spins around the sun six times in six days.
Six times.
Cool. I like your attitude. All the best.
You keep spinning your planet while I make a world for myself.
My wedding is six days away.
Come on, Sanju.
Enough talk. Six days?
Oh, God!
Well, there you are.
Neither the car nor I can go any further.
From here you walk alone.
You're nervous, your heart is pounding
because you don't know what's about to happen.
What's he going to do? What should you be doing?
Did your heart skip a beat?
My heart would, too, if I were you.
And what would you do?
For a moment, imagine being in love with me.
Okay.
For a moment, let me imagine I'm in love with you.
What would you do?
It's all right, Anju.
In that moment, I would've tried to live a lifetime.
Tell me, what would you do?
I...
would walk up to you.
I would walk up to you, without taking my eyes off yours, like this.
-I'd keep looking at you. -Then?
Your eyes would hold mine, your hands would be in mine.
-We would be so close. -And?
And I'd carry you away in the wind to the rustle of the leaves
and bathe you in a lake of dew and in a quiet moment,
I'd whisper in your ear...
Whisper what?
I'd whisper...
What?
I'd whisper...
Be it for even a moment Give me your love
Even if you're false
Even if...
-Sanju. -Anju.
Very funny.
Yeah. Very funny.
Silken waves of breeze
Come embrace me
Silken waves of breeze
Come embrace me
Our desires are alive and so are we
Don't let this distance be
Our desires are alive and so are we
Silken waves of breeze
Come embrace me
Our desires are alive and so are we
At the wind's caress
Won't the blossoms be fragrant?
How can I give you my fragrance?
The budding blossom is shy
This shyness is more like punishment
Why are you so fervent? Just wait a little while
Even a moment's wait is cruel
Our desires are alive and so are we
I didn't want to speak out
But I couldn't hold my silence
Whatever you tell me Or whatever you won't
Just don't look so lost
Come what may
Just listen to your heart
Whatever is heartfelt
Just tell me
I'm yours, I swear by you
Our desires are alive and so are we
A silken breeze blows
Let's draw closer
Our desires are alive and so are we
Don't let this distance be
Our desires are alive and so are we
Our desires
Anju! Anju!
Sanju?
Anju, help!
Anju!
-Sanju? -I just fell out of a tree, Anju.
Yes.
It hurts.
Sanju.
Anju, help me.
Why is the car going backwards? Anju?
Rohit, what are you up to? You're going to get me killed.
Help me. Help me, someone. Mommy!
Sanjay! Sanjay! Sanjay!
Let me sleep, Ria. No work today, Ria.
-Sanjay. -Ria?
-Sanjay, where are you? -Oh, no.
Sanjay! Sanjay!
Why is everyone staring at me? I'd like to see Sanjay.
Ria.
San-- Oh, there you are.
Sleeping in till 10:00? As usual.
Ria?
Yes, me.
Darling, will you please tell these people how we know each other?
Didn't I tell you he'd come running?
Now do you guys believe me? Do you trust me now?
Oh, I missed you so much.
Ria, what are you doing here?
I thought I'd surprise you.
Didn't I tell you he'd be happy to see me?
This is Ria, and, Ria, this is...
H.P., V.P., Lucky, A.J., and that's Raj.
We've been introduced. Everyone here knows me.
Darling, you're too much. You haven't told them about us.
-Us? -Boyfriend, girlfriend, eh?
What?
You've been together for the eight months.
So, she's the little sister you mentioned?
-And she has no one but you? -And you have no one but her?
No...
-You came here for Anju's wedding. -And left your heart in Bombay?
-With his real girlfriend! -So he calls every day to tell her...
"I miss you, darling."
"Darling"?
I see. So, dear nephew, is this your love story?
Nice to meet you.
Try your best cover, but we know.
Everyone else knows more than me.
Darling!
Why are you shying away? She's a beauty.
-Given a chance... -What?
Smart, good-looking.
-Shall we, H.P.? -Bye.
The journey must have been tiring. You should rest.
-May we excuse ourselves? -As soon as Anju arrives,
-I'll have her come see you. -No, no.
-She'll be so happy to meet Ria. -Sure, she will.
-Come. -Okay, dear.
-I'm here, everything will be fine. -What are you doing here?
Raj, would you take my luggage in, please?
Yes, darling... I mean to say, yes, Ria!
Shall we, darling?
Darling, my foot! What rubbish.
Go on, laugh it up.
Shut up, will you? Stupid.
You've ruined my game. Everything was so perfect.
The wedding is only five days away!
Why did you have to do this, Ria?
To help you, stupid. I'm here for your own good.
I know what you're up to. Do you realize what you've done?
My bachelor party cost Rohit far less than what your stupidity has cost me.
-Darling! -Are you done?
Now, shut up and listen.
You're in love with Anjali, right?
What rubbish! I'm in love with you, darling!
-Sanjay. -Darling.
Sanjay, I'm serious!
When did you realize you were in love with Anjali?
I will tell you.
You realized when you saw someone else walking into Anjali's life.
When you saw someone else getting close to Anjali,
you realized how close you were, and she's just like you.
What do you mean?
Anjali has never seen you with another girl.
So?
When Anjali sees me with you, Anjali should realize too.
She might reciprocate what you felt when you got news of her wedding.
Understand, darling?
Oh...darling.
Anjali, this is Ria. Ria, this is Anjali.
-Hi, Anjali. -Hi.
Sanju, can I see you for a moment? I have to tell you something.
Sure. I mean, I'll be right there.
Okay.
By the way, her luggage is in the kids' room. I hope you don't mind.
I don't. I hope they don't.
No, no, you're welcome.
-Sanju, make it fast. -Yeah.
Ria, I think it's already working.
I told you.
Kapoor? Who's Kapoor?
Mr. Kapoor in Mumbai. Runs a big advertising agency.
Last year at one of his parties, I met Ria.
And you never told me?
Did you tell me about Rohit?
I told you about my wedding
I'm not marrying her yet. I'll let you know when it happens.
Are you going to marry Ria?
Why, what's wrong with her? She's smart, she's sexy, beautiful.
So what? She's not the right girl for you.
Why not?
What do you mean, why not? You're not gonna marry her.
I've said my piece. Now do what you want.
Okay.
And by the way, what's she doing here?
She's here for your wedding.
But that's my point. What is she doing at my wedding?
You're my friend, you invited me. She's my friend, so--
-Why did you invite her? -Can't I bring a guest?
Girlfriend, if I invite Ria, is there a problem?
No, she's fine. She's a sweet girl.
Sweet, my foot. I don't like her.
-You don't even know her. -I don't want to know her.
Worse, she's an eyesore.
I can always accommodate her in my room.
No way. Are you nuts?
I'm nuts, but you are jealous.
Jealous? Why should I be jealous?
Because besides you, she's the only other friend I have.
Don't you ever compare me to her.
It's working, Ria. It's working.
Are you the full moon?
Are you a star?
Whatever you may be
By God, you're incomparable
Are you a moon?
That's my Fair and Lovely commercial.
-Ding-dong. -Wonderful.
-Modeling must be fun. -Show us a catwalk.
-Right away. -Wow.
Nice prop,
but won't help.
We'll see
Okay.
H.P., you still haven't given me the pendant.
Who could refuse you? Here you are.
Wow.
Isn't it cool, V.P?
Papa, Uncle, it looks like you've forgotten
all about the wedding, which is just three days away.
-What are we supposed to do? -Are you asking me?
Didn't Mr. Verma call you?
Papa, the jeweler is on the phone.
Am I supposed to organize my own wedding?
No, that's my job. Excuse me, we have work to do.
Come on.
Bye.
Hi.
Uncle, don't you have anything to do?
Yes, you know, so much to do for the wedding. Excuse me.
Lucky, are you always organizing weddings?
Yes.
And you still haven't found your girl?
I'm sure I'll find someone.
Maybe one of your cousins? Someone who's not married yet?
I don't have any,
but they say I've come of age.
-I'm sure they're right. -Uncle, there's work to be done.
Where? Yes, sorry.
-May I help you? -No, thanks, son.
Come on, you've been working hard. Come on.
What with the arrival of the new star, everyone's after her.
-Sanjay is very lucky, isn't he? -How come?
Finding someone like Ria.
Actually I find it strange.
I never imagined Sanju would like someone so...
Modern.
He lives in Bombay, how could Sanjay like anyone else?
You're cosmopolitan too. From America.
I'm different.
I always wanted someone simple. Like Anjali.
But Sanjay and Ria make sense.
-They look great together, don't they? -Yes, great.
They should get married the same day as us.
He's right. Besides, we're the only relatives Sanju has.
Exactly, so why put it off?
You have to teach me how to make cheese omelets.
Sanju picks fights in the kitchen.
-Your kitchen? Or his? -It's the same kitchen.
In Bombay, you're lucky to find one kitchen in a flat.
I don't understand. You and Sanju...
Sanju never told you? We live together, in the same apartment.
What?
How many bedrooms?
You and Ria live together in the same flat?
No, how could she live in my flat? Never, no.
-Why are you laughing? -Ria was just telling me...
how Sanjay broke down a bathroom door to rescue her
and she was clad only in a towel.
You said she didn't live with you.
She didn't, but just lately she needed a place, so...
Poor girl.
How magnanimous of you, Sanjay, to have given her shelter.
Soon you'll be a happy family. All the best.
Anjali, Anjali.
It was a good plan. Girl, jealousy, it always works.
Maybe the living together thing was a bit much?
They'll make sure you're married.
Women like Anjali are best for doctors like me.
You need a Ria.
Best of luck.
Coming, Aunt.
We're finalizing a wedding date for you and Ria.
Finalizing.
Okay?
You can shove your okay.
It's not working. I have to think up something else.
Sanju, come out.
I don't like this.
Tell Ria to come out.
Poor Bunty has been knocking for the past half an hour.
She's taking her sweet time getting dressed to go out.
Where are you going all dressed up?
Anju, the college reunion.
The annual get together? Didn't you get the invitation?
I was invited before you.
I've been invited for the last three years.
-I've never gone. -So sad.
No, really, Anju. So sad.
-You'll miss it this year too. -How come?
How can you go? You're getting married in three days.
How can you go?
I skipped the last three years because you weren't here.
We promised each other we wouldn't go to the reunions without each other.
I forgot, sorry.
No problem. Change. We'll go downstairs for a game of carrom.
-I can't. -Why not?
Darling, I'm ready. Let's go.
I promised Ria. She wants to see my school.
I can't disappoint her.
Shall we, darling?
I'm dying to go to this party.
You should come too. I'm sure Ria won't mind.
Thank you.
My invitation says I can bring a guest of my choice.
-Then, you're coming? -Of course. With a guy of my choice.
Hey, all you beautiful people! Welcome to the night of the year!
The Welhams Reunion 2002.
Hey, guys and girls, the judges are here and the competition's on.
So what are you wailing for? Get set and hit the floor.
There's no one like us
We're the life of the party
There's no one like us
We're the life of the party
ls there anyone else like us?
Why lament that You can't find anyone else?
ls there no one else? Well, I don't lament that
We're young, we're beautiful
We have no laments
The sights are already driving me crazy
Is there anyone else around like us?
I'm the life of the party
Is there anyone else around like us?
I'm the life of the party
When you're with me Everything is beautiful
The road ahead is full of love
Come into my heart Let my search end
Is there anyone else around Like you and I?
You and I have brought life To this party
Is there anyone else around like us?
Anything like you and I?
Wow. What a pair. That's what a friendship should be.
I wish I had a friendship like that.
-Are you talking about Sanjay or Anjali? -I'm talking about you.
Sanjay is lucky to have you.
That's what everyone says in Bombay.
Only lucky guys get friends... I mean girlfriends like Ria.
-Hey, what is it? -Ria, spare me the act, will you?
-Act? What act? -I know.
You're his friend, not girlfriend.
But you make a great friend. That's why I wish I had a friend like you.
Someone who would be willing to help me get Anjali.
"You do what it takes for friendship's sake."
-Is that from Maine Pyaar Kiya? -You saw it?
-Six times. -I could be your friend.
Off the record, huh?
Can I ask you something off the record?
What makes you so confident that whatever you're doing is right?
Look at them.
-Sanju, I want that trophy. -I'm sorry. You got three of the five.
-It's my tum. -Sanju, please.
No, fair is fair.
Aren't they made for each other?
Definitely not.
Life's not a dance competition, Ria.
Good dance partners don't necessarily make good life partners.
The bigger decisions in life can't be based on trivia.
What if you didn't know Sanjay?
What if you were my friend?
Suppose I was the one who'd invited you.
Now, look at them.
-Anju, just a little... -Okay, fine.
Do you still think that...
Sanjay and Anjali were made for each other?
Whatever you or I think makes no difference.
The only thing that matters is what Anjali wants.
You're right.
What Anjali wants.
-Okay? -Bye.
You're a nice guy, Rohit.
I know.
But sometimes I'm afraid my ethics might create obstacles.
Hey, guys, what about a picture with me? Hey, winners
Gayatri.
Girls all over the world are getting married,
but no mother-of-the-bride was ever as harried as you are.
What will people say?
-Hey, Ajit. -Yes?
-Send the sweets to Rohit's house. -Yes, Uncle.
Our son-in-law is one-in-a-million. This is a time to rejoice, but you...
Hi, girlfriend, what's going on?
Sanju, will you make Gayatri see reason?
She thinks that a twitch in her left eye is a bad omen.
Girlfriend, is Aunt's superstition rubbing off on you?
If you ever have a daughter who she gets married,
-you'll understand. -What?
Isn't it sad that my daughter will be leaving me in a couple of days?
I have a wonderful idea. Let me marry Anju.
I'll move in with you.
Then Anjali won't have to go away. Simple.
If that was an option, no one would be happier than me.
You'd be happy to give your daughter away to a fool like him?
Your daughter chose someone nice like Rohit. Thank God for that.
Everything's working out fine.
Most parents lose sleep over their daughter's marriage.
But before we knew it, this match was finalized.
-Before we knew it, just think. -What's there to worry about?
In front of so many people, it takes only one wrong word...
to hurt everyone. It's happened so many times.
I've been a witness to times
where one misplaced word can
destroy relationships that have lasted years.
Are we about to forge new relationships
at the cost of old ones?
It deserves a thought.
Girlfriend...
You're worried about nothing.
I'm here
and you have my promise,
no one will be hurt, no one will be sad.
I'll make sure everyone is happy.
After all, I'm your magic man, aren't I?
Listen...
About Sanju marrying Anjali...
Gayatri, you know what he's like.
He was joking. He wasn't serious.
What if he was?
Uncle!
Coming.
Sanju is always joking.
Colors are being sprayed over us
Sanjay, guess what Rohit told Anjali over the phone?
He said... You should hear it yourself.
You taped their conversation?
-Of course. -You're too much, Ria.
-Should I not have done it? -Of course not.
Anjali and Rohit are getting married.
-What right do you-- -Listen, Mr. Sanjay Malhotra,
I'm not here to attend Anjali's wedding to Rohit.
I'm here to break it up.
Spring shower flowers As my beloved is here
You have to tell Anjali that you're in love with her.
Sanjay, are you going tell Anjali or not?
Why not?
I don't know.
-Then I'll tell her-- -No, Ria. Please.
A lentil on a lentil
I don't think you need me here.
Then... I think I'll just leave.
You're not gonna stop me?
When I saw you, my dear, I realized
That love is insanity
I don't know what to say.
You don't have to say anything to me.
But won't you say something to her?
Sanjay, my congratulations. It's your best friend's wedding.
See you in Bombay.
In the meantime, if you achieve anything, invite me...
to your wedding.
Wow, Uncle, this is splendid.
-You have outdone yourself. -It wasn't me, it was Sanjay.
He was up all night. I don't think he slept.
Just like you stayed awake all through my wedding to Nilu.
Yes, just like that.
You like the design?
Eat this.
The bride's trousseau is here.
-Where? -Downstairs.
-Come on, leave that for later. -Okay, come on.
Strange.
You don't want to see the trousseau?
I wanted to see you in bridal finery,
but that isn't to be.
Why are you leaving so suddenly? Can't you stay for a few more days?
I have work to do.
I have not choice. If I could stay, I would.
I wanted to be here for your wedding.
But anyways, Sanjay is here.
Aren't you afraid to leave your boyfriend to a bevy of beauties?
Sanjay isn't my boyfriend. We're friends. Just friends.
Then what was all this?
Life plays such jokes on us,
and we play jokes on each other.
There's nothing more to our relationship.
In Bombay, Sanjay never fell in love with any girl, nor will he.
Why not?
Because the girl in his heart isn't in Bombay.
Aunt, your taxi is here.
Not in Bombay? Where, then?
How should I know?
You're his best friend. You should know what's in his heart.
Seek within your heart, you might find the answer.
Yes, Sanjay, what is it?
I'm going... back.
You win.
I lose.
I don't know why I thought Anjali and I...
I didn't think about
how one mistake of mine might break so many hearts.
Thanks to you, I stopped myself from making that mistake.
Someone else in your place... but how could it be anyone but you?
You're Rohit, the perfect one.
The one for Anjali.
I was Anjali's friend.
I'll stay her friend.
But I won't be able to stay.
I don't have the courage to see Anjali with someone else.
Nor am I gentleman enough...
to just let you take her away.
Just...
take care of her.
Sanju.
The wedding is tomorrow. I won't ask you to stay for the wedding.
But won't you join in my celebrations today?
We just became friends, didn't we?
Yes, we just became friends.
And I'll make sure everyone joins the celebration.
After all, it's my friend's wedding.
To the rhythm of the drums Her anklets chime
The bride wears a veil The groom carries flowers
And spring follows them Around the world
May all the happiness In the world be theirs
This is a prayer from my heart For my friend's wedding
To the rhythm of the drums Her anklets chime
The bride wears a veil The groom carries flowers
And spring follows them Around the world
May all the happiness In the world be theirs
It's my friend's wedding
My friend has found love
For her, this is sweet victory
My friend has found love
For her, this is sweet victory
I'm so happy, I've filled this party
With songs
It's my friend's wedding
There's no winning There can be no losing
Where there's love
If there be a contest, There can be no love
There's no winning There can be no losing
Where there's love
If there be a contest, There can be no love
Let's embrace
My friend
This is a prayer from my heart
It's my friend's wedding
My childhood friends My childhood playground
My toys, my swings I will miss everyone
How will I hide my tears?
My childhood friends My childhood playground
My toys, my swings I will miss everyone
How will I hide my tears?
My friends and relatives
My friend Listen to what our playground tells
Color your heart Your life in hues of love
And even the jewelery you wear Will smile
Remember that, friend
My friend's wedding
So you're leaving? You lost.
You're the one who told me to put my heart into the game.
Win or lose, what's the difference?
Sanju, are you sure?
Are you doing the right thing?
Yes, Uncle.
As sure as you were.
Hindustani women are incomprehensible.
Try to get close, and their decorum and decency stands in the way.
Then, 12 hours before the wedding,
I'm summoned.
Well, here I am.
Why the sudden show of affection?
Rohit, we've told each other everything...
except for one thing.
Something maybe you forgot to ask, and I forgot to tell you.
What?
Whether I've ever been in love before you.
-Were you? -Yes.
From the moment such thoughts
about a boy arise in a girl's mind,
there has been such a boy.
Who?
Sanju, my friend, my best friend.
But you saw Sanju. How can I expect him to understand?
He's lost in his own world.
I always hoped that at some point Sanju would tell me how he felt,
but as time went by, I realized I was wrong.
To Sanju, I'm a friend, just a friend.
So I suppressed my feelings, so he wouldn't find out.
Then, you came into my life.
You made me believe I could have
a good life with someone else too.
But before we start this life, I wanted you to know.
I want to build this relationship on honesty.
Right, Rohit?
That's why I asked to see you.
Beautiful.
Hello, Rohit.
The flowers are beautiful, just like your daughter.
-You haven't gone to bed yet? -Couldn't sleep.
How come you're up so late?
I promised Anju
that I'd decorate her wedding hall myself.
I'm decorating it in flowers.
May it be flowers, flowers for her all the way and no thorns.
Your prayer is already bearing fruit.
If I ask you a question,
will you give me an honest answer?
Yes, ask me.
I wasn't your first choice for Anjali, was I?
No, son, it's not like that.
I know.
I know and it's okay.
But there's something you don't know.
I wasn't Anjali's first choice either.
What are you saying, son?
You and your daughter had the same first choice.
Sanjay.
In all these years,
Anjali could never tell Sanju how dearly she loves him?
And then Sanjay, he loves Anjali so fiercely
he can't bear to see her marry someone else.
And I'm the only person in the world
who knows about their feelings.
The only one who can change this story.
What should I do?
I...
What do I do now?
Now I know Sanjay was right.
This is his and Anjali's story.
I had no place in this story.
Sanjay left because he didn't want to hurt anyone.
At least he knew what the right thing to do was.
Anjali told me...
because she wanted honesty to be the cornerstone of our relationship.
She knew the right to do, too.
Now it's my turn. I know what I have to do.
But I can't do it alone.
I need a mother to bless my way,
to tell me, "Son, you're doing the right thing
I'm with you."
Are you with me?
Yes.
Hey, how do I feel?
How?
Like I've fast-forwarded a decade into life.
I feel like we're both 35 and here we are, sitting at the Gateway of India.
You haven't found a boy and I haven't found a girl.
-Really? -Yes.
-So? -So let's make a deal.
At 35, if we're still here, we'll get married.
-On one condition. -What?
You'll still do the cooking.
Okay, done.
Talking about being 35,
I don't even know...
with Anjali gone, how I'll manage to live through tomorrow.
Anju, what are you doing here? Tomorrow's your wedding.
Why did you leave?
-Ria got sick all of a sudden. -No Ria, no Rohit.
No one's an excuse to my question. You and I...
and between us, one question.
-Why did you leave? -Because...
-Because I... -Because what?
Because I can't bear to see you marry someone else.
-Why not? -Because I wanted to marry you.
-Why didn't you tell me? -I was afraid, Anju.
If you refused...
it would've broken my heart.
What about all these years that I've been pining for you?
Did you ever think about the girl who was with you all her life,
holding hands, sitting with you on that swing?
In the whole world, why does she have only one friend?
A girl goes through her childhood
and her adolescence with one boy.
Why would she want anyone else's company for the rest of her life?
Have you never wondered?
You never thought that all I needed was my friend?
The only one.
You.
How can a girl be expected to be...
the first to express her feelings?
You never wondered? Never?
I'm sorry, Anju.
Sorry? Is that all you can say?
Won't you say what I've wanted to hear all these years?
I...
I what?
I love you.
I love you too, stupid.
To the rhythm of the drums Her anklets chime
The bride wears a veil The groom carries ﬂowers
And spring follows them Around the world
May all the happiness In the world be theirs
It's my friend's wedding
