You're giving me looks
as if I've robbed a bank! Do you owe money to the 'beedi' seller? 'Beedi' seller? Oh, 'Paan' seller. Yes, I've to pay him for 2 cigarettes. You owe him for 30 cigarettes in total. He said, 'Ma'am,
increase your husband's pocket money.' 'Chhagan Chaurasia,
Why did you tell my wife?' I lost face before that 'Beedi' seller! He sells 'Paan' not 'Beedi'. Lockdown ended 2 years ago. Your friends are busy job hopping while you couldn't land a single job! I am trying... But nothin
g's coming of it! It's not in my hands! Your father's recommendation
got you a job. I have no such influence. You love playing the victim card
and berating me. I didn't get a job because of my dad. I studied day and night to get this job. Your certificates speak otherwise. You scored 34% in 10th 36% in 12th you graduated with a grade C,
yet you bagged a government job. I fell ill right before the exams. Hence, the low scores. Each time? You fell ill
each time? Yes, my immunity was weak. Was it w
eak immunity or weak brains? Don't make me angry, Dev! Suffice it to say I had weak immunity. Yes, it was weak immunity. But your luck is strong. You're enjoying the
perks of a government job while I'm getting screwed in
private sector despite my good grades. What's with that cheap language? You've been warned.
Don't use this screwed word! I mean, I get squeezed! I had no god father to write
me a recommendation. - I was born in...
- Victim card again! For your kind information, these days
govern
ment employees are facing the same fate as you guys. Earlier we'd go and leave
work as we pleased. We weren't answerable to anyone. 'You mean you were having a gala time.' But now we have to report
on time and complete targets. We're accountable for everything. 'Good, you've played too many tricks.' This stingy government keeps record
of every single penny! 'You do the same with me.' Thanks to digital transaction,
we can't even make an extra penny. 'Extra penny? You charged 20,000 for
checking t
he file' 'and 200,000 to sign it.' The money I gathered
over the years went waste due to demonetisation! 'Old sins cast long shadows, Kamini.' These are terrible times for us. But it's good for the nation. Not at all. The government is screwing us. Squeezing us. Now you know how it feels when you get squeezed! Don't preach at me, while you stay
home and enjoy free food! What did you say? Free food? I'm so sorry, Dev. I eat free food? I didn't mean it, sorry. What about the chores I do all day lo
ng? I said I'm sorry. I sweep and mop the floor, pack your lunch, wash your clothes and iron them, make dinner give you a head massage
to stop hair fall... Don't bring all that up. I slog like a maid
and serve you at night as well. I feel like a used cupid! Victim card again! It's not a victim card, Kamini. You don't know how it feels
to be jobless. I've been desperate to be home
for a long time, Dev. Give me a chance to do that. We've been married for 10 years, Dev. Will you ever give me a
chan
ce to go on maternity leave? Don't you think your sexologist uncle
is responsible for this? He claimed guaranteed results. I'm under medication since 8 years now! All you do is blame others. You're neither
professionally successful nor... Say it. Why did you stop? You'll be heart broken! No, Kamini. Just say it. Forget it, Dev. - No, just say it today.
- Get out of the way. - Just say it clearly...
- Move! - Just be out with it.
- Oh forget it. Don't ruin my mood. So you mean I am neither profes
sionally
successful, nor my sperms... - Hello?
- Hello, Mr. Dev? - Yes.
- I'm calling from Paramanand Pvt. Ltd. - Param Anand? (Extreme pleasure)
- Yes, sir. This is Sonakshi
from Paramanand Pvt. Ltd. Tell me, Sonakshi. Sir, I am Sona not Sonakshi. But you just said Sonakshi. Sir, my name is Sona but I just sneezed and
you heard it as Sonakshi. I see. Tell me, Sona. Sir, off 100 lucky males, your
name has been shortlisted by our company. You can be super rich! Look madam, I've to peel potatoes
a
nd knead the dough. I've loads to do.
I'll hang up now. Hello, Hello, Hello Sir... "Like a bell" "I keep getting used" "Like a bell" "I keep" - Hello?
- Hello. Hello! Madam, I'm not interested. Hello, sir. Hello? Where are you, sir? Madam, I said I'm not interested. Are you in the kitchen? Why do you care, madam? Just get on with it. No, sir, I heard some vessels. Are you doing the dishes? Hello? Sir, if you are doing the dishes
I'll call you back. I'm not doing dishes but
having brunch on the d
ining table. That's the sound of cutlery. I'm so sorry, sir.
Just hear me out. I know what you'll tell me. You are a marketing girl, right? No, sir, sales executive. Same thing. It's not the same, sir.
Sales Executive. Okay, madam sales executive. Sir, sales executive. That's what I said. Sir, you mispronounced it. Madam, just get on with it. Sir, I wanted to tell
you about Anand-Dhan service. Anand-Dhan from Param-Anand? Is it a life insurance policy? It's not life insurance but life
enhancemen
t. This is a pleasure service. The user enjoys bliss and money both. Hence, it's called Anand-Dhan. Sounds like a spiritual name. So is its purpose, sir! Our company gives
handsome romantic people like you a chance to make money. What makes you think I'm handsome
and romantic? Sir, your name is Dev which means irrespective
of your physique, you're a romantic at heart. Wrong... absolutely wrong. If it's all about my heart, I'll consider myself a Casanova instead! Of course, sir. You can think wha
tever you like.
Doesn't cost a penny. You're smooth with words. I'm into sales after all. Okay, call back in an hour. Yes, finish the dishes until then. Just hang up, Sona. Onion, 35, potato 40, hair oil, 156 I'm short of 8 bucks. Who did I pay extra? Kamini will scold me again. Carrots, 50, radish 20 onion 35 - Hello.
- Hello, sir, this is Sona. Yes, Sona. What do I have to do? - You have to sleep.
- What? I mean, you have to use endearing terms. Endearing terms? That's what lovers do. You got
it right, sir. But I've already crossed the prime
of my youth! Sir, it's nothing to do with your youth. I told you Anand-Dhan
is a pleasure service. Our company will introduce
you to some women. You just have to use endearing terms
and woo them. Sonakshi! Sir, I am Sona, not Sonakshi. I know that.
I meant ugh! Ugh? Why? Since when did this filthy job
become a profession? - Didn't you know?
- No. There was a surge in it
since lockdown. I saw on news recently it's a great contributor to GDP growth
. Thousands of youths use our service and earn in millions. - They're helping the nation change.
- Change the bra at least! It's torn! Bra? I haven't worn one. Sona, I meant my wife's bra is torn. Oh. Sir, just try joining
Anand-Dhan service of Paramanand. You can buy loads of bras
for your wife. - Hello?
- Yes. Look madam, you're investing
your time on the wrong person. I called myself a Casanova but in reality I'm simple like Bharat
Bhushan. Bharat Bhushan? Who's that? Google it. Hello? Bharat
Bhushan? - Hello?
- What are you doing? Kamini, you better buy a new bra. It's torn. Now you know about my sacrifices. This is no sacrifice, Kamini. You earn in millions
and get under the table too. There's no under the table earnings now. You know that, Dev. But the government pays you well. Then why so frugal? Why are you whispering? The government pays you well. Then why so frugal? It's sacrifice not frugality. Forget the bra, I don't
even buy new clothes or jewellery. I fired the driver and
take cabs. These sacrifices helped
us buy a house in a posh area. Or we wouldn't even afford the rent
with your salary. Forget me,
I'm anyway below your standard. You should stay well dressed. Your outer clothes can be simple but inner clothes should be attractive. What's with the outer and inner clothes? Just say lingerie. Okay, so your lingerie
should be perfect. A saari may make you fall in love but ultimately it always ends with
taking it off! Dev, your love will see culmination only when y
ou buy me a bra
with your earnings. I've decided, I'll buy a bra with your salary. Stop acting like a teenager, Kamini. It's a bra not a wedding chain. You didn't even check with me. When will I get a job and when will
I buy you a bra! Dev, Dev! Listen, there's green
peas in the fridge. Peel them. - Okay.
- Listen. Make 'paratha' and
'matar paneer' for dinner. Also, make some rice. - Okay.
- Dev, did you iron the clothes? I'm doing that, Kamini. Kamini? Kamini? Kamini? - Kamini?
- What? You went
quiet! I was thinking of a chore for you. - What chore?
- I'll call when I think of one. Bye. Leaving aside important tasks of the
government, she's deciding chores for me! And then she says I eat free food! - Hello?
- Hello, Mr. Dev? Sona, I'll just block you now. Why, sir? Didn't you like the service? Offer it to others. I'm not interested. Not every man is libidinous. What's that? You...
Suffice it to say some men are not filled with lust. Oh! I'm impressed, sir. You have complete control
ov
er your senses. Every married man should! I shall use endearing terms only for my wife Kamini. Wow, sir!
I'm touched! I mean, great men like
you are hard to find. Find where? That's Exactly, what I'm saying. No, I don't know where to find. Sir, I mean it's rare. Yes, it's rare. Hard to find. But I'm glad I found you.
You're great. No, that's not true, Sona. You have high hopes from me. I was just a normal
guy with a decent job but lost it during the lockdown. My boss colluded with the HR guy and
I was the first to get terminated. Why? Didn't you meet your target? Sona, I was not into sales like you. Then I guess you didn't butter him up. I literally venerated him. But that BC was a demon! Sir, you must not abuse. Abuse? When did I abuse? You just said BC. BC stands for Baldev Chaddha, my boss. Oh! Why did he hate you? - He was jealous of me.
- Why? Because I was more eligible. The moment your boss realises you're better than him, he'll chase you like a Doberman dog. You know that breed
with a short tail. Yes, sir, dangerous breed. Yes, so that BC... Baldev Chaddha! No, this time I abused him... I'm jobless since 2 years
because of Baldev Chaddha. Anyway, in the last two years I realised one must have a job to get his wife to respect him. I understand, sir. Even if a wife earns in millions, she will never want her husband
to be jobless, and live off her earnings. So she pressurises her husband and makes him feel guilty by comparing with other husbands so he can perform well. B
ut I haven't performed in 10 years. What do you mean? We don't have kids. I'm so sorry, sir. I understand your pain. How? Are you also barren? C'mon, sir.
I'm not married yet. Then you can't understand my pain. Sir, I'm the optimistic kinds. I believe if your bat is intact, you can hit a six anytime! Double meaning, right? No, sir.
I mean, soon you'll have a baby. For now, I want a job. But something respectable
not this shady job. Sir, there's no dearth of work at
Paramanand Pvt. Ltd. We have o
ne more service
for decent folks like you. - One night...
- Stand? No, sir. One night entertainer. What's that? Sir, many of our clients are bored
of their husbands. They've lost interest. You just have to
entertain them with jokes. Hope you can crack silly jokes. Now don't say your jokes
are reserved for your wife! Joke for my wife? She thinks I am a joke! Given a chance, I can perform for sure. That's fantastic, sir. You'll get 20,000 for each night. - 20,000?
- In cash, every night. I'm ready
. Okay, sir.
I'll schedule a meeting for this week. You just have to pay 8,999 and register with us. - Bribe?
- It's registration fees, not bribe. But I am an eligible candidate. I know my work.
I can prove it right away. There was an elephant and an ant. - They...
- Sir, please stop. Sona, you're missing the punch. There is laughter in the next line.
Sir, 8,999 is mandatory. Okay, cut it from my salary. No, sir. That's company policy. You have to pay registration
fees in advance. I told you I'm
jobless since two years. I can't pay from my wife's money. I'm sure you have some savings. It's a small amount. Even cheapskates have that amount! You enjoyed calling me cheapskate! Sorry, sir,
you'll have to pay the fees in advance. What fees? - C'mon!
- Try to understand. - You give in.
- You're being impossible. Really? I'm being impossible? Yes, you are. You're the one calling me since morning. You didn't even let me do the dishes. You were doing the dishes? But you said you
were having you
r brunch! Well, yes. My servant dropped the cutlery and that made a noise.
Any problem? Amazing! You have a servant, dining table
and cutlery too yet you can't pay 8,999! - What do you mean?
- These cheapskate behaviour! Look, don't call me a cheapskate. Fine, I won't. Borrow some money from your servant
and pay him back later. What a joke! So the employer should
borrow from his employee! Some economics! You'd know better,
you're Padma Bhushan after all. Who's that? That's what you'd said. I sai
d Bharat Bhushan. He was great yesteryear actor! Forget it, let me speak to your manager. Don't you understand what I said? Wow! You're casual now! It'll get worse now. I see. Some manners you have! Manners aren't applicable
to cheapskates. Mind your language, Sonakshi. You can't even remember my name!
It's Sona not Sonakshi. I don't care what your name is. Get your manager on the line. I won't!
Now what? You've been bugging me all morning. - It's who's pestering me.
- I won't do this and that!
Of course I won't. - I won't do your filthy work.
- You have no money! You think I'm a fool to pay you? - You want everything for free!
- When did I say so? I said deduct it from my show income. Deduct from show income!
Bloody rock star! Who do you think I am? - Fraud!
- Really? You're a fraudster! - Shut up.
- You shut up. - You keep quiet, fraudster.
- Shut up. - Fraud!
- Shut up! - Fraud.
- Shut up! You're a fraudster. - Shut up.
- Fraud. - Shut up.
- Fraud. Yes, I'm a fraudster. I'm a frauds
ter. You're right, sir. I am a fraudster. Circumstances compelled me to cheat. I too lost my job during the lockdown. I'm still looking for a job. I haven't got one yet. I lost my dad to corona and mom is so ill I see no signs of recovery. All my savings were
spend on her treatment. I have no money for medicines. I had no choice but to resort to this. But I failed here as well. Was this your first call? Yes. How did you guess? No, you sneezed while telling your name. Guess god doesn't want you t
o do this. Don't do this, Sona. My name isn't Sona. It was an alias. My name is Sonakshi. Nice name. You are a nice person, Mr. Dev. Your wife is indeed lucky. Husbands like you are hard to find these days. I'm sorry for all this. Really sorry. I've transferred 8,999. But this is not a registration fees. It's for your mother's medicines. Pay me back when you get a job. Thank you so much, Mr. Dev. You're really Bharat Bhushan. Hello. What are you doing? I'll make 'matar paneer' now. Then I'll mak
e 'paratha'. Then rice. Don't bother. Why? Do you want something else? Tell me. Let's go out and have dinner. No, Kamini. Only one of us is earning. Don't waste money.
Buy yourself a branded bra. I was rude this morning. Sorry, Dev. I didn't feel bad. I know you're stubborn. But I've sworn to buy
a new bra with your salary. Any special reason for
treating this slave with dinner? Uncle's medicines have worked. What? I am pregnant, Dev. What? Yes. We're going to be parents. See you in an hour. And
then...

Comments
शब्द नहीं है, कुछ बोलने के लिए बहुत ही शानदार लघुकथा है,एक ही फिल्म में इतने सारे संदेश दे दिए सलाम है ❤❤❤
अभिभूत कर दिया, नायक की आंखें छलकने के दृश्य से पूर्व ही मेरी आंखों में समाए सागर में ज्वार छलक आया। ❤
सच कहूं तो ऐसी शॉर्ट फिल्म,जो दर्शक को हर सेकंड बांध कर रखती है सुंदर स्टोरी के साथ बहुत ही अच्छी एक्टिंग तीनों कलाकारों की,जितनी तारीफ करें कम है।🎉👌👏👏
अतुलनीय! सार्थक लघुचित्र कथा! धन्य हो निर्देशक महोदय का एवं पटकथा लेखक एवं अन्य सभी सदस्यों का!!!👌👌👌
हंसाते हंसाते रुला दिया, और बाद में खुशी के आंसू के साथ अच्छे दिन भी! वाह क्या बात!? बहुत खुब❤😂
You made Sonakshi happy for a moment And Almighty God blessed you forever happiness. Our Society needs such issue based movie
सार्थक स्वच्छ मार्मिक संदेश से ओतप्रोत ह्दयस्पर्शी चुंबकीय लघु कथा। ❤❤
अनुपम उदाहरण, मनोरंजक, शिक्षाप्रद वर्तमान युग की सत्यता को व्यंग्यात्मक रूप में सफलता के साथ प्रस्तुत करने के लिए अनेक साधुवाद ❤❤❤
It is a subtle reminder that being pure hearted and to be able to empathize with others pain or grief is the essence of humanity. We all have our fair share of excuses but even small help goes a long way. Beautifully presented and acted, we are looking forward to such stories!
पती-पत्नी या दोघांचे संवाद खूप नैसर्गिक आहेत आणि श्रेया, नोकरदार पतीने निराश होणारी बायको खूप छान चित्रित केली आहे!
❤सेलुट dev जिमेदारी और नेक काम के लिए जिसका फल आपको बच्चे के रूप में मिला और सोनाक्षी को नेक राह मिली और देखने वालो को समझना चाहिए सविंग कितनी जरूरी है 👍
Gajab Tumne to kudrat ki puri kayenat hi badal di kisne banaya ye mujasimma. I was expecting something else but your movie engaged me to watch it full. 👍🏻👍🏻
बहुत अच्छी कहानी,लेकिन सत्य होने के 100% संभव है
Well done ! The dialogues by both as husband and wife are so natural and Shreya ,the working wife ,getting frustrated with the jobless husband very well portrayed! Well done team !!
बहोत ही बढीया रहें 35 मीनीट देख कर मजा आ गया पर लास्ट में खुशखबरी मिलने के बाद एक बार सोना से कोल होता तो ओर भी उमदा काम हो जाता पर जो भी है वो काफी ही अच्छा है सचमें एक ओस्कार विनींग है पीस है ।🍀
Such a beautiful film. From suspense thriller to a family drama which probably many Indians must have gone through post-covid. What a journey Mr. Pant. And the song is soo good. Congratulations to the entire team. Kudos!! Much better than watching Adipurush. :)
Vishal om prakash one of the most under rated actor of this film industry...i have seen all of his movies ... He is Par excellence performer ,Great performance and film.
दीपक जी दुआ के सजेशन से मैंने फ़िल्म देखी। यक़ीनन शानदार👌👌👌 क्या बात है। दिल ख़ुश हो गया। गलीज़ की उम्मीद करते करते एक बेहद खूबसूरत हीरा निकल आया हो जैसे...❤
That's why it is said, "Do not judge the book by its cover". Great work!
