0:00:02 > 0:00:07This film contains some strong language
0:00:50 > 0:00:52- Morning.- Morning.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59- What's this nonsense?- Excuse me? - You have given me the wrong post.
0:01:02 > 0:01:04Isn't this...?
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- Chandana and Chandana's? - Mm.
0:01:16 > 0:01:18There we are. You a chain or something?
0:01:18 > 0:01:21No, we are not a bloody chain.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25- Well, that's got to be confusing. - Not if you can read, you idiot.
0:01:25 > 0:01:29HINDI MUSIC PLAYS
0:01:39 > 0:01:42- Mum, I'm finished.- Five minutes, and then we're leaving.
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Serve it while it's hot, Chandu. It's not for my in-laws.
0:03:20 > 0:03:21Go!
0:03:41 > 0:03:45- So, why are we here? - Oh, this is a romantic dinner.
0:03:45 > 0:03:46Something couples do, apparently.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48No, smart-arse, what are we doing in this place?
0:03:48 > 0:03:51We've never been to an Indian restaurant together.
0:03:51 > 0:03:52Yeah, tell me again, why is that?
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Because nowhere's as good as my dad's.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Well, until I meet your father and taste his food,
0:03:58 > 0:04:00I really couldn't say, could I?
0:04:00 > 0:04:01That's what this is about.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06You will meet him. It'd just be simpler if we wait un...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Until we're engaged? - SHE GASPS
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Anything wrong, madam?
0:04:12 > 0:04:14Erm, no. I mean, yes.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16No, there's nothing wrong with the food.
0:04:16 > 0:04:17Although, if you really want to know,
0:04:17 > 0:04:19the cauliflower in the aloo gobi was overcooked.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20I thought it was great.
0:04:20 > 0:04:24You're clueless. And the daal had a little too much garlic, I think.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33- Wow. - My grandmother's.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35- It's beautiful. - What?- What she said.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38- What's the problem? - She said the gobi was overcooked.
0:04:38 > 0:04:40WHAT?!
0:04:42 > 0:04:44Wait, wait, wait. Look, look, look.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- Oh, wow!- I know.- This is amazing! - Look at the view.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Oh, Mark.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- You happy? - Yes, very happy.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Oh, I love you so much. - Are you ready?
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- And I'm so hungry.- What? - Yeah, we didn't have dessert.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10Well, no, cos someone got us thrown out of the restaurant, didn't they?
0:05:10 > 0:05:12- Please?- Room service? - You love me that much?
0:05:12 > 0:05:15Yes, I love you that much.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19Love everything about you, even your weird appetite.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21- I think I can wait for dessert. - Excellent.
0:05:25 > 0:05:29Er, yes, could we have the cheesecake and the chocolate mousse?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31- And ice cream.- And ice cream.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34Flavours?
0:05:34 > 0:05:37- Just a little bit of everything, I think.- Thank you.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Have I told you lately that I'm engaged?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48- Yup, couple of times. - SHE LAUGHS
0:05:49 > 0:05:52- Thank you.- Oh, it's all right. I quite like it too.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54No, thank you for being patient.
0:05:54 > 0:06:00- I think two years qualifies as very patient.- Yes, it does.- Yes, it does.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03You see, my dad is very, very Indian.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06In Hindi, there isn't even a word for "boyfriend,"
0:06:06 > 0:06:09so if I'd told him I was seeing anyone, he'd have started
0:06:09 > 0:06:13making wedding plans, which might have scared you off.
0:06:13 > 0:06:14My uncle's even worse.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17Well, now they can both scare me to their hearts' content.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20I'm just... We could go up now, if you like.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21You're very sexy without your clothes on,
0:06:21 > 0:06:24but you might want to wear a suit when you meet my dad.
0:06:24 > 0:06:25He's very traditional.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Well, I'll wear whatever he wants.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29I'm just looking forward to meeting him.
0:06:29 > 0:06:30I know, just...
0:06:30 > 0:06:33Let me go up and see him on my own first, and sort a few things out.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36- I've taken a few days off for Holi, anyway.- OK.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42One more thing - do you mind if I don't wear my ring
0:06:42 > 0:06:46back to Leicester? It's just, if Dad sees it before I tell him,
0:06:46 > 0:06:49with his heart issues, it might not be so great.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51OK. Yeah, I'll bring it up next weekend.
0:06:58 > 0:07:01Somebody came and did this, and no-one heard anything!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04How can this keep happening? I was away for ten minutes.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06It wasn't anyone's fault, Raja sahib.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09The kitchen was busy, the mixer was on, the potato peeler,
0:07:09 > 0:07:10the dishwasher, it was very noisy, huh?
0:07:43 > 0:07:44Tarun. Oi!
0:07:48 > 0:07:50- Table 11 call to confirm? - Twice, boss.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54Nobody calls twice to confirm a booking.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Why didn't you tell me this earlier? Go to the kitchen.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59- What for? Everybody's been served. - Are you bloody joking me?
0:07:59 > 0:08:02- How long you been working here? - Three and a half years, boss.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Then you should know there's always something to do in a restaurant.
0:08:05 > 0:08:09- Go and peel some onions or dry some plates. Go and do something!- OK.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13HINDI MUSIC PLAYS
0:08:20 > 0:08:21No, it's impossible.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25You're a surgeon. You're supposed to be good with your hands.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27Hands is a plural.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30- Right, I'm hungry now. What's the big deal?- No big deal.
0:08:30 > 0:08:31Feel free to employ the left hand,
0:08:31 > 0:08:34the hand traditionally used to wipe the arse, and sup from your
0:08:34 > 0:08:37prospective father-in-law's carefully prepared Hindu feast.
0:08:37 > 0:08:40You're keen to impress him, and that will impress him(!)
0:08:46 > 0:08:49Well, that'll take the edge off the ravenous man(!)
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- Who asked who for help? - Something I'm already regretting.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53I'll make an Asian out of you yet.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Oi oi oi oi, left hand!
0:08:56 > 0:08:57My house, my rules.
0:08:59 > 0:09:00Prick.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12Don't forget to pick your sister up from the station, you lazy.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14I'll be busy getting her dinner ready.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17You told me. I'm there. Chill, man.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- JAGI:- Nobody wants to work any more.
0:09:22 > 0:09:24They want to get paid for doing nothing.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27- If they're so useless, give them the sack.- Sack?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30They've got me by the bloody sack, squeezing without mercy.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32They know it's impossible to find an Indian waiter,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34with all this European Union bullshit!
0:09:34 > 0:09:36You know what this country would be without Indian doctors?
0:09:36 > 0:09:40- Waiters, chefs, hm? Sick and starving.- Get someone else, then.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43Who else wants to work in an Indian restaurant? You tell me.
0:09:43 > 0:09:47- The Polish student who was looking for work.- Don't be absurd, woman.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50Because he doesn't speak Hindi?
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Half your staff don't speak Hindi. Your children don't speak Hindi.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Not the stupidest idea you've had.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04Poles work hard, like Indians.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07Sometimes I wonder why I married someone so...
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- ..charming.- Marry a charmer if you want. They won't bloody feed you.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- I can feed myself, thank you. - You?
0:10:13 > 0:10:16And before you utter another syllable,
0:10:16 > 0:10:18think about the consequences.
0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Dee! - Hey, there she is.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Shalini's not been home for months. I'm cooking all her favourites.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41So, I'm going to ask Dad to sort things out with Uncle Jagi.
0:10:41 > 0:10:45Oh, man. Look, I'm all about the love, but that's not realistic.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47The old boy's still super-vexed.
0:10:47 > 0:10:49You want to get him smoking again, that's the way to do it.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51I want all the family at the wedding.
0:10:51 > 0:10:53I want the dinner to be cooked by my dad and my uncle.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56You know, last few months, it's got a lot worse between them.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- Why?- Uncle J's been emptying bin bags outside Dad's kitchen,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02then called the health inspectors with an "anonymous tip-off."
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- He wouldn't do that! - Well, Dad's totally convinced.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08And Uncle J reckons Dad's been making bogus bookings.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Someone's been doing it, right?
0:11:10 > 0:11:11It's been tough round here.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15People going out of business, poaching staff, undercutting prices.
0:11:15 > 0:11:18- You've not been around. - I know.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21Guys doing all right are the young guys who do deliveries. Fast food.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24I thought business had been good since the Food Guide review.
0:11:24 > 0:11:27Shals, man, that was a year ago. You've barely been back since.
0:11:27 > 0:11:29That review has only created more aggravation.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33- Thank you very much.- Thank you. - Enjoy it?- Yes.- Good samosas?
0:11:35 > 0:11:38- Thank you for coming, goodnight. - Thank you.- Bye-bye.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42They didn't order any of my main courses.
0:11:42 > 0:11:46You know how many starters they had. They were stuffed, Raja sahib.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Not stuffed enough.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58This is how my fate is written, then I must accept it.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I thought you'd be looking a bit more excited, Dad.
0:12:03 > 0:12:07- Ah, my little girl is home. - How are you?
0:12:07 > 0:12:09- Happy to see you. - Well, you don't look it.
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Well, I am! - What about me, big guy?
0:12:11 > 0:12:14I see you every day, chillaxing on the sofa.
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Been keeping my dad out of trouble, Kirit ji?
0:12:18 > 0:12:21- Can we eat, please? I'm starving! - Yes, yes, yes, come.
0:12:49 > 0:12:53- Mm! I love being home. - You love eating, man.
0:12:53 > 0:12:54Where do you put it all?
0:12:54 > 0:12:57You've changed the recipe for the aubergine starter.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58Nothing wrong with Uncle Provin's recipe.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00You changed something. This is better.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03A recipe is only ever as good as its interpreter.
0:13:05 > 0:13:06What is a pinch of jeera?
0:13:06 > 0:13:10God has made all our hands and hearts different.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12OK, tell me something - what was wrong with the aloo gobi?
0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Oh, shit, man, do you have to start? - I won't get upset.
0:13:16 > 0:13:19And don't call me "man." I'm your bloody father.
0:13:19 > 0:13:22I saw your sister's face, and I know it wasn't perfect.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25- What's perfect, Dad? - Your Dadima's recipe.
0:13:25 > 0:13:28- And it isn't the same, is it? - No, it's not the same.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34- Dadima's recipe had a little mango powder, I think.- Amchur.
0:13:34 > 0:13:39Why, yes. Amchur. It did. Your memory and taste are exceptional!
0:13:41 > 0:13:44Learn. Learn something. Learn from your sister, man(!)
0:14:02 > 0:14:06"For the ultimate Indian experience, do what the locals do.
0:14:06 > 0:14:09"Eat your starter here, and your main course there."
0:14:09 > 0:14:11"Why doesn't he offer his sister for dessert, eh?
0:14:11 > 0:14:13For the "ultimate experience!"
0:14:23 > 0:14:26I'm a Chandana, not Ronald McFuckingDonald.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29And that girl, unlike the fruit of my loins, can taste the difference.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31Jagi, I'm not one of your staff.
0:14:39 > 0:14:43- HE SPEAKS HINDI - ..I'm tired.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Your mother was beautiful.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03Couldn't cook, though.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07- Her matar paneer was the best. - Her one dish. Yes, it was.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11You cooking?
0:15:12 > 0:15:14I don't really have the time.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21- Dad.- Mm.- There's something I need to tell you.- Yes.
0:15:23 > 0:15:26This might come as a surprise, but...
0:15:26 > 0:15:29I'm getting married.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Who is he?
0:15:33 > 0:15:35Someone I've known for a while.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38What is his name?
0:15:40 > 0:15:41Mark.
0:15:45 > 0:15:46Mark.
0:15:47 > 0:15:50You know, I have to say, there's a big part of me thought I'd
0:15:50 > 0:15:53- never meet her dad.- Never thought she'd go through with it, mate.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56What do...? You said there are lots of couples in the same situation.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59There are, but what I didn't tell you is that, most of the time,
0:15:59 > 0:16:01it doesn't work out.
0:16:01 > 0:16:03- Didn't want to worry you. - Well, thanks(!) Scare me now.
0:16:03 > 0:16:07Just that generation. Traditional. Straight from the village.
0:16:07 > 0:16:08Her dad's from Delhi.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'm talking about Leicester.
0:16:10 > 0:16:11- You ever been? - No.
0:16:13 > 0:16:15Dark place. It's all fine now, though.
0:16:15 > 0:16:17You're going to visit the dad,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20and she's had time to cancel and she hasn't.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22Gaia swung by Southall to pick these up.
0:16:22 > 0:16:25In-laws Holi presents. Enough sugar in these badboys
0:16:25 > 0:16:27to stop a raging bull or enraged father-in-law.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29Not that he'll be enraged.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32It's just Indian dads, you never know.
0:16:33 > 0:16:35I'm terrified of my father-in-law.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38And I'm Indian.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40And loaded.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45- - His parents are English? - Yes.
0:16:45 > 0:16:46Hmm.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52You're not all right with this.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54- What does he do? - He's a doctor.
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- What sort of doctor? - A trauma surgeon.
0:16:59 > 0:17:03Dad, I know this might not be what you want...
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Why don't you understand?
0:17:06 > 0:17:09You being happy means more to me than anything.
0:17:10 > 0:17:12Are you happy?
0:17:13 > 0:17:18- I am. Very happy. - Then why would I not be, huh?
0:17:19 > 0:17:22My only regret is that your mother isn't here now.
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Thank you, Dad.
0:17:32 > 0:17:33This means so much to me.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38Hey, I want to show you something.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42That was the day of our wedding.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45I haven't seen this before.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Back home at that time,
0:17:48 > 0:17:51being a chef meant that you were basically a servant.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54We came here looking for a better life.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59When your mother had had enough of fighting...
0:18:00 > 0:18:04..when she just couldn't take any more chemotherapy,
0:18:04 > 0:18:08she made me promise her, "Whatever Shalini wants."
0:18:08 > 0:18:10She just wanted you to have the kind of wedding
0:18:10 > 0:18:12we could never have dreamed of.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16- I'm so sorry, Dad. - No, no, I'm sorry.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19It's a happy time, and I'm spoiling it, huh?
0:18:20 > 0:18:24- So, tell me, whatever you want. - Whatever I want?- Of course.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- What is it?- I want all the family to be at the wedding.
0:18:27 > 0:18:29Tomorrow morning, I'm going to call everyone.
0:18:29 > 0:18:31I'm talking about Uncle Jagi.
0:18:33 > 0:18:35- What? - I want you to invite Uncle Jagi.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38He'll come if you go and see him.
0:18:38 > 0:18:39"Go and see him?"
0:18:41 > 0:18:44- Have you been speaking to them? - Yes.- I asked you not to.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46I'm sorry, Dad, he's my uncle.
0:18:46 > 0:18:49And I'm your father. Doesn't that mean anything to you?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53- Please, Dad, don't be ridiculous. - Me? Ridiculous?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Do you know what he's been up to only this week?
0:18:58 > 0:19:00If he wants to come to me, I'll talk to him.
0:19:00 > 0:19:03- Why should I go to his house? - Because I'm your daughter.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06- Now you blackmail me. - I'm not blackmailing you!
0:19:06 > 0:19:08This is just a chance to sort things out.
0:19:08 > 0:19:09I don't want to sort things out.
0:19:09 > 0:19:12You're happy with things as they are?
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Is this my fault?
0:19:14 > 0:19:16I don't know, we don't talk about it,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19but this can't just be because you sold a family recipe.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21So, you have taken his side!
0:19:21 > 0:19:26I'm not taking anyone's side, I just want to have the wedding I want.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28Will you at least think about it?
0:19:28 > 0:19:30There's nothing to think about!
0:19:30 > 0:19:33- I can never go to him. - You said, "Whatever I want."
0:19:33 > 0:19:36You just told me you promised Mum.
0:19:36 > 0:19:38Ask me anything else.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41If it can't be the way I want it to be, I won't have an Indian wedding.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I'm not going to be a hypocrite and have
0:19:43 > 0:19:46a Hindu blessing when it would have no meaning.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49You know how much this hurts me?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51That's not what I want to do.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55Ask me for anything else, but I can never go to your uncle.
0:20:00 > 0:20:03I thought family came before everything,
0:20:03 > 0:20:04even if it means sacrifice.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Isn't that what Dadima used to say?
0:20:31 > 0:20:34SHOWER RUNS
0:20:34 > 0:20:36- MARK ON VOICEMAIL:- Hi, this is Mark's phone.
0:20:36 > 0:20:37I can't talk to you at the moment,
0:20:37 > 0:20:39so leave a message and I'll call you back.
0:20:39 > 0:20:42Hi, Mark, it's me. I was hoping to speak to you, so...
0:20:43 > 0:20:46Look, I know you're excited about meeting Dad,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48but there's a slight change of plan.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51Dad and I had a bit of an argument last night.
0:20:51 > 0:20:52Don't worry, everything's fine,
0:20:52 > 0:20:55but I'm going to need another week to sort things out with my family.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59So, can we postpone you coming up until next weekend?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I'm really sorry, I know you've waited two years,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04but I just need one more week.
0:21:05 > 0:21:09OK? Erm, I love you. Speak to you later. Bye.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42- Hello, Leelu Auntie.- Shalini, so good to see you! Welcome home.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- Look who's here. - Happy Holi, cousins!
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Happy Holi, didi. Oh, and congratulations.
0:21:49 > 0:21:53A surgeon as a husband? Bit unoriginal, isn't it?
0:21:53 > 0:21:56I want to say, "It's good to see you," but I almost didn't see you.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59- You've lost so much weight. - I really haven't.
0:21:59 > 0:22:00One way to check.
0:22:05 > 0:22:06What do lawyers basically do?
0:22:06 > 0:22:10Basically, we argue with each other until one of us wins.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13Seema would make a good lawyer.
0:22:13 > 0:22:14You're right, Sonu.
0:22:14 > 0:22:17And you're going to do really well in the call centre.
0:22:17 > 0:22:18Mango powder.
0:22:20 > 0:22:21- Too much? - Mm-mm.
0:22:27 > 0:22:29It's perfect.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33- Your Dadima spent a lifetime getting the recipe right.- I know.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44I have to get to the restaurant. The Holi lunch rush.
0:22:44 > 0:22:45I've got something for you.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50- What is this nonsense? - Open it and see.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57I got it engraved.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06Such a gift. You have to take something for it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:11Uh-uh-uh-uh, you know what they say. "It will cut our ties forever."
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- You, superstitious? - I'm full of surprises.
0:23:23 > 0:23:26- He's still the same! - It's easier to be an uncle.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Give your father some time. I'll talk to Jagi later.
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Now, I have something for you.
0:23:37 > 0:23:39I can't take this. Dadima gave it to you, I can't.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Whatever happens, you'll wear it on your wedding day.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44Promise me that.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47I promise.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56Yo yo yo, you're listening to Guru FM,
0:23:56 > 0:24:00the smoothest sounds in Leicester, and it's Holi, people!
0:24:00 > 0:24:02The festival of colour and the start of spring.
0:24:02 > 0:24:05Time to get your painted stomachs ready for action.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Hello, hello. Five, ten minutes, that's all.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10I'll get you a good table at the front.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17Tarun, take the order for table three, yeah?
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Hello, hello, how are you?
0:24:36 > 0:24:39Dad, happy Holi!
0:24:39 > 0:24:44- Happy Holi, my dear.- I didn't see you this morning.- I was here early.
0:24:44 > 0:24:48- Dad, last night - I didn't want to upset you.- I know, my beta.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50I'm sorry, too.
0:24:50 > 0:24:53- You need some help? - No, no, no, you go in and enjoy.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58- You're not here to work.- Are you sure?- I'm doing this a long time.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00- Dad, you got any money on you? - Yeah.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08- Open it later.- Huh? You shouldn't be buying this.- My job, they do pay me.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10Oh, wait.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Take something for your friends,
0:25:14 > 0:25:18and see that they don't eat that fast food kachera. Mm?
0:25:20 > 0:25:24I'm a connoisseur. I try them all over the world.
0:25:24 > 0:25:26Your old man is the godfather of chaat.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30It's true, it's true, he's the Don. But your uncle's chole baturi, man.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32No-one can touch that, not even my mum.
0:25:32 > 0:25:36We ain't talking chole baturi, we're talking about chaat.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38I know, I know that, but I reckon it's relevant,
0:25:38 > 0:25:40cos after the chaat, I like to move to the chole.
0:25:40 > 0:25:42I'm Punjabi, it's a classic move.
0:25:42 > 0:25:45Man, have a little respect, you know the score.
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Oh, it's all right, Jin, I'm with Kam on this.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48My uncle's chole's the best,
0:25:48 > 0:25:51but should definitely be preceded by my dad's chaat.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Right.
0:25:52 > 0:25:56- Yo yo! - Shit, Dee.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59You can never have too much ammo, people. It's time.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06- You look constipated. - I've made a decision.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10- About what?- Tomorrow morning, I'm getting on a train to Leicester.
0:26:10 > 0:26:14- I'm going to meet Shalini's father. - Are you serious?- Mm-hm.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16If it's such a big deal to him that I'm not Indian,
0:26:16 > 0:26:17he can tell me face-to-face.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Mano a mano. - I'm not sure that's a good idea.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22I mean, I respect your cojones,
0:26:22 > 0:26:24but the guy's a chef and has all kinds of blades.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29You living in sin with his daughter, do you see what I'm saying?
0:26:29 > 0:26:31Something terrible could happen.
0:26:31 > 0:26:34Besides, I met the guy, and he seems a little fiery.
0:26:35 > 0:26:36What did you just say?
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Er...
0:26:39 > 0:26:41You know, he's a chef, and they're temperamental
0:26:41 > 0:26:43and they possess all manner of blades.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46- No, no, no, no, no, you've met Shalini's father?- Yeah.
0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Didn't I tell you? - No, you bloody didn't!
0:26:49 > 0:26:51- When did you meet him? - Some wedding.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55The Asian brethren were out in force, so I represented.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59It's no big deal. Shalini never invited me.
0:27:00 > 0:27:02Not directly, anyway!
0:27:03 > 0:27:04One, two, three!
0:27:23 > 0:27:26Party People, welcome to Leicester's annual Holi celebrations!
0:27:28 > 0:27:31This year's judge of the Kings Of Curry creation competition is
0:27:31 > 0:27:35none other than culinary legend and actress Madhur Jaffrey.
0:27:35 > 0:27:39- Madhur Jaffrey in Leicester? - Not something you hear every day.
0:27:39 > 0:27:41Ready? Play Holi!
0:28:49 > 0:28:51We always close early on Holi because it's
0:28:51 > 0:28:53a time to be with your families.
0:28:53 > 0:28:55Thank you all for your hard work. Varet.
0:28:58 > 0:28:59- Kay. - Thank you.
0:29:02 > 0:29:05Kirit. Thank you.
0:29:05 > 0:29:07My wife asked if you wanted to join us for dinner tonight.
0:29:10 > 0:29:11You know my children are at home.
0:29:35 > 0:29:38This is wonderful. Can I try it?
0:29:40 > 0:29:45The photographer's getting annoyed. Wait, is this a gift?
0:29:45 > 0:29:48- Why?- If it is, you need to give Raja something for it.
0:29:48 > 0:29:50More superstition.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Jagi, give your brother some money, and then both of you,
0:29:53 > 0:29:54come out of the kitchen.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58- Methi kadhi. - You're getting as bad as she is.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00Come on, Dad, Uncle. I'm starving. Come on.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03CHUCKLES Oh, Shalini, you are always hungry.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34Not my choice.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37- Rak Sharma's new place. - He spent some money.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42Oi, Chandu, you didn't clean the toilets.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46What you looking at?
0:31:48 > 0:31:51- Shalini. I didn't know you were back.- Was that Chandu?
0:31:52 > 0:31:55- Yeah. Yeah, he's working for me now. - Since when?
0:31:55 > 0:32:00- Come on. You know your uncle's temper.- Not as well as you, mate.
0:32:00 > 0:32:02- This is a big place.- Yeah, yeah.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Yeah, yeah, we've got a bar, we've got a restaurant,
0:32:05 > 0:32:07we've even got a function room for wedding parties.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10Oh, that's funny. I'm looking at some venues myself.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13You? You're getting married?
0:32:13 > 0:32:15- Don't look so shocked.- To who? - You don't know him.
0:32:15 > 0:32:19Right, so, you're looking for a venue.
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Is your dad finally retiring, then?
0:32:21 > 0:32:25- Well, we're just surveying our options.- Well, come and take a look.
0:32:25 > 0:32:28We open this week. I would love to show you around.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Shame you missed out on all the Holi trade.
0:32:30 > 0:32:33Our restaurant's been rammed today, eh, Shals?
0:32:34 > 0:32:36Yeah, well, I'd better get going.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38- I'll drop by. - Yeah, you do that.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43Don't like him much, do you?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Didn't like him when he worked for us, don't like him now.
0:32:45 > 0:32:48I'm still coming to see his place. I want to see what
0:32:48 > 0:32:51crimes against taste that relentless prick has perpetrated.
0:32:53 > 0:32:54They pretend to be friends,
0:32:54 > 0:32:56but restaurant people all hate each other.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59I know because they all come here, eat sweets,
0:32:59 > 0:33:01and speak the truth to Abdul.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05Who doesn't want to be known as the best chef in Little India?
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Whose business couldn't use the publicity?
0:33:13 > 0:33:15Dad and Uncle have to enter the competition.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16How's that going to help?
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Cooking together, spending time in the kitchen,
0:33:18 > 0:33:20they'll see what they've been missing.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22The rules are, you have to prepare a complete meal,
0:33:22 > 0:33:24which they can't do without each other.
0:33:24 > 0:33:26I just can't see them going for it.
0:33:26 > 0:33:29I have an idea which might help convince them.
0:33:29 > 0:33:30Thanks, Abdul.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32PHONE RINGS
0:33:35 > 0:33:37Shalini?
0:33:37 > 0:33:39What?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- She's one of the judges.- Ah. - They confirmed it today.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45Madhur Jaffrey, here, in Leicester?
0:33:45 > 0:33:48- Strange as that sounds.- To cook for her would be such an honour.
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Why don't you enter, then?
0:33:52 > 0:33:56No, no, no, no, I'm too old for such nonsense.
0:33:56 > 0:33:59- That's what people have been saying. - What people?
0:33:59 > 0:34:01What did Abdul say?
0:34:01 > 0:34:03They called the Chandanas cowards.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09In front of Shalini. Gossiping like she's not even there.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11They dare upset my niece?
0:34:11 > 0:34:14They say our name stands for nothing any more?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16- They said this? - I was there, Dad.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19What happened to this place? People had morals.
0:34:19 > 0:34:24- They loved our food, and respected us.- You have to enter, Dad.
0:34:24 > 0:34:27You and Uncle Jagi should enter together.
0:34:27 > 0:34:28What?
0:34:35 > 0:34:37On a purely practical note,
0:34:37 > 0:34:39you haven't come up with a single new recipe since Jadoo.
0:34:39 > 0:34:40Not because I can't.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Dad, you haven't even been able to recreate the main courses from
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- the other half of the recipe book. - I never used to cook them. He did.
0:34:46 > 0:34:48That can't be the reason you've found it so difficult.
0:34:48 > 0:34:50Have you ever asked yourself if, deep down,
0:34:50 > 0:34:52you really want to cook them?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10Isn't it time to forgive and forget?
0:35:11 > 0:35:13How? He doesn't let me.
0:35:13 > 0:35:17Emptying rubbish bags outside my kitchen, calling health inspectors.
0:35:17 > 0:35:19Booking tables, just to cause trouble.
0:35:19 > 0:35:21He wants to continue this, not me.
0:35:21 > 0:35:23You want me to go to your uncle, that's why you are doing this.
0:35:23 > 0:35:25You've made it perfectly clear you won't,
0:35:25 > 0:35:27so I'm getting on with the wedding plans on my own.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Dad, you should do what you want about the competition.
0:35:30 > 0:35:32We're only telling you cos we thought you should know.
0:35:32 > 0:35:34You are right. You both are.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37I will enter this competition.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40But not with him. I'll do it on my own.
0:35:42 > 0:35:46Tomorrow I will start practising new recipes, and you'll see how.
0:35:57 > 0:35:59Everything all right in there, Pawel?
0:35:59 > 0:36:01Mr Chandana, he's maybe a bit...
0:36:02 > 0:36:06- ..tense. - Want some advice, man?
0:36:06 > 0:36:08Stay out of his way, agree with everything he says.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Take this guy a menu, and go to the kitchen.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19Ask for a sag paneer tarli with cornflour chapatis.
0:36:19 > 0:36:24- Should not I wait for his order? - We call him Mr Saag Paneer Tarli.
0:36:24 > 0:36:26Across the road, they call him Mr Special Mix.
0:36:26 > 0:36:28He comes in here every week for the last ten years,
0:36:28 > 0:36:33looks at the menu, asks about all the specials, orders the same thing.
0:36:33 > 0:36:35- Hmm. - Rrr.
0:36:41 > 0:36:44Pawel, every now and then,
0:36:44 > 0:36:46I am sprinkled with my family's culinary genius.
0:36:48 > 0:36:51Yes, Mr Chandana. I agree with everything you say.
0:37:06 > 0:37:07Raja sahib?
0:37:10 > 0:37:12I don't want to be disturbed, Kirit.
0:37:16 > 0:37:17What is it?
0:37:19 > 0:37:20There is somebody here.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33- Mr Chandana? - Yes.
0:37:35 > 0:37:36I'm Mark.
0:37:37 > 0:37:38Mark?
0:37:39 > 0:37:41I'm a friend of Shalini's.
0:37:42 > 0:37:45Oh, MARK!
0:37:45 > 0:37:48Oh, bloody hell.
0:37:48 > 0:37:51My staff thought you were a health inspector!
0:37:52 > 0:37:56Oh, sorry. Please, please, sit down, sit down.
0:37:56 > 0:38:00Has anyone offered you tea, huh? Kirit....
0:38:03 > 0:38:05Mark.
0:38:05 > 0:38:06Mark.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11- Hello there, wifey. - What's going on?
0:38:11 > 0:38:14You said I never trusted you to taste my dishes, huh?
0:38:17 > 0:38:21I present to you a brand-new Jagi main course.
0:38:21 > 0:38:22Get on with it, Dad.
0:38:30 > 0:38:35Lamb and asparagus curry, with mint and yoghurt.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45That's really good, Jagi.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- It's not bad, Dad. - It's really nice, Dad.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55What's in the other box?
0:38:59 > 0:39:02- What is it? - Pani puri starter.
0:39:02 > 0:39:06Inspired by my great-great-grandmother, Urmula.
0:39:06 > 0:39:08Doesn't look like Urmula's pani puri.
0:39:09 > 0:39:11Is that Red Leicester cheese?
0:39:11 > 0:39:13I don't want you to bend it, I want you to taste it.
0:39:15 > 0:39:16I don't want to.
0:39:18 > 0:39:19Don't look at me.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21Do I look stupid?
0:39:21 > 0:39:24There's something wrong, Jagi. It smells...
0:39:25 > 0:39:28- ..strange. - Strangely exotic.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31- What's in it? - Same ingredients as usual,
0:39:31 > 0:39:34with a little twist. Will you just try it, baba?
0:39:36 > 0:39:40- No.- You say I never ask you to taste anything.
0:39:40 > 0:39:42Fine. I will have the honour.
0:40:05 > 0:40:07I probably shouldn't this early,
0:40:07 > 0:40:10but my daughter is not here to keep a check on me.
0:40:12 > 0:40:15Mmm. You not going to have some?
0:40:15 > 0:40:19- Oh, no thank you, I ate before I came.- But it's Holi.
0:40:22 > 0:40:23Mmm.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28Hmm. Mmm.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31- Mr Chandana, I'm here... - Is it good?
0:40:32 > 0:40:35Yes, it's very good. It's very filling.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38I never trust a man without a sweet tooth. Or a savoury tooth.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41In fact, I never trust a man who doesn't enjoy his food.
0:40:43 > 0:40:45Oh, thank you very much, Kirit.
0:40:49 > 0:40:51- Mm. - Er...
0:40:58 > 0:40:59This is delicious.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05- It's really sweet. It... - My grandfather's dosa recipe.
0:41:05 > 0:41:08We use it only on special occasions.
0:41:09 > 0:41:13Erm, Mr Chandana, I'm here beca...
0:41:13 > 0:41:15It's very good.
0:41:15 > 0:41:18If you have a problem, I'm here to talk, but...
0:41:18 > 0:41:22- I want to marry your daughter. - Yes, she told me.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25- She told you? About me? - Of course, she's my daughter.
0:41:26 > 0:41:30- Right. Well, I came up to ask your permission.- My permission?- Yeah.
0:41:32 > 0:41:34Well, of course you have my permission.
0:41:35 > 0:41:39I don't serve my grandfather's dosa samosas to anybody, you know.
0:41:44 > 0:41:46By the way, when is your birthday?
0:41:48 > 0:41:52Classic red, pink, violet, cream, gold.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57Shalini, whatever happens, you're still getting married.
0:41:57 > 0:42:00You've got a few days off, so as somebody who knows
0:42:00 > 0:42:04how precious that is, I would strongly advise you start using it.
0:42:04 > 0:42:07You're right. Erm, cream. Cream, I think.
0:42:07 > 0:42:08Now we're getting somewhere.
0:42:08 > 0:42:13So, I've got something a little different to show you. Rani!
0:42:16 > 0:42:19Oh! You must be joking. That's a wedding outfit?
0:42:19 > 0:42:21Think your dad'll see the funny side?
0:42:32 > 0:42:35I phoned the pandit in India. It's very good news.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39Your horoscopes match perfectly! He e-mailed me the charts.
0:42:39 > 0:42:42- Oh, right. What would happen if they didn't match?- Er...
0:42:42 > 0:42:44They do, so it doesn't matter.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46Have those idiots not brought your dessert?
0:42:46 > 0:42:50Er, no, no, I'm fine, really. I asked them to wait. I...
0:42:52 > 0:42:55- I've eaten a lot. - But it's Holi!
0:42:55 > 0:42:57- Are you sure? - Yeah, I really am.
0:42:59 > 0:43:02- Have you got a bathroom I could use? - Oh, Kirit!
0:43:02 > 0:43:05Show my future son-in-law to the bathroom.
0:43:14 > 0:43:18Have you ever seen such an auspicious star alignment, Kirit?
0:43:18 > 0:43:20No, boss, I haven't.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- What is it? - Nothing.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31My beloved pushpa said to me a long time ago,
0:43:31 > 0:43:35"As soon as we choose to live here, educate our children here,
0:43:35 > 0:43:38"their world will be different from ours."
0:43:40 > 0:43:42Would I prefer an Indian son-in-law?
0:43:43 > 0:43:48He's a surgeon, studied at Oxford, and he makes my girl happy.
0:43:50 > 0:43:53Can a father ask for any more than that?
0:43:53 > 0:43:54SPEAKS HINDI
0:43:55 > 0:43:58Sonia Gandhi used to be Italian, boss.
0:43:58 > 0:43:59As long as they have an appetite,
0:43:59 > 0:44:03God has blessed everyone with the potential to be Indian, huh?
0:44:03 > 0:44:07Well said. Well said, Kirit, well said.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10- Here, have some barfi. - Oh!
0:44:10 > 0:44:13What are you looking so pleased about?
0:44:13 > 0:44:16My daughter's home! Isn't that enough for any father?
0:44:16 > 0:44:18Even one who only yesterday was having such
0:44:18 > 0:44:20a fierce disagreement with his daughter?
0:44:20 > 0:44:24Today's a new day, and I have a surprise for you.
0:44:24 > 0:44:26That makes two of us.
0:44:26 > 0:44:28I've been shopping for wedding outfits.
0:44:28 > 0:44:30Thought you might like to see some.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32What do you think, Dad?
0:44:32 > 0:44:35You're just trying to scare me. You're not going to wear that.
0:44:35 > 0:44:38My wedding, Dad, my rules, unless you want to invite...
0:44:42 > 0:44:45I told you you would be surprised!
0:44:45 > 0:44:47There is not a single father-in-law on the planet who loves his
0:44:47 > 0:44:51future son-in-law as much as your old man loves me. I nailed it.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54And can you believe that idiot Vinod told me not to come?
0:44:54 > 0:44:57I mean, I was tested, but I didn't bend to the pressure.
0:44:57 > 0:45:02- I ate like an Indian. And even that tall, weird waiter...- Kirit.- Kirit.
0:45:02 > 0:45:06Gave me a little nod. Shalini, I'm practically a local.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09Oh, and the skimpy little number - I completely approve.
0:45:11 > 0:45:12- What's wrong? - Nothing.
0:45:13 > 0:45:17- Well, this is amazing news.- Yes, it is, and it's really good to see you.
0:45:19 > 0:45:21- But?- I thought you weren't coming up till next week.
0:45:21 > 0:45:25Well, what difference does it make? I met your dad. I have his approval.
0:45:25 > 0:45:29- Erm, it's really great that Dad likes you.- Er, loves me.- Loves you.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31Loves you, yes.
0:45:31 > 0:45:33Sorry, am I missing something?
0:45:33 > 0:45:35Because it really couldn't have gone any better.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38Look, even our horoscopes match, apparently.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40- You gave him your birth date. - Yeah.
0:45:41 > 0:45:42Shalini, what's wrong?
0:45:44 > 0:45:48I've never told you this before - my dad and my uncle
0:45:48 > 0:45:51haven't spoken to each other in over ten years.
0:45:51 > 0:45:53They have rival restaurants,
0:45:53 > 0:45:56and they're now trying to put each other out of business.
0:45:56 > 0:45:59- Why?- Nobody knows for sure, because we're not allowed to discuss it.
0:45:59 > 0:46:01Why haven't you mentioned this to me before?
0:46:01 > 0:46:03Because I thought I could sort it out on my own.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07I thought that a daughter's wedding would make them see sense and talk.
0:46:07 > 0:46:09I didn't think they'd be this stubborn.
0:46:09 > 0:46:13Your family are so lovely and normal, and mine are so bad-tempered
0:46:13 > 0:46:17and chaotic, and I just wanted to sort things out before you met them.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19Before your family met my family. Do you see?
0:46:21 > 0:46:22Yeah.
0:46:23 > 0:46:25You're angry,
0:46:25 > 0:46:28cos I would be if you'd kept something like this from me.
0:46:28 > 0:46:32I'm a little upset, yeah, but that's cos this is important to you.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34You love your uncle as much as you love your dad,
0:46:34 > 0:46:38- and I want you to be able to tell me anything.- I'm sorry.
0:46:38 > 0:46:41It's just, there are some things that Indians can't talk about.
0:46:43 > 0:46:45I've never spoken to anyone about any of this,
0:46:45 > 0:46:47because it drives me mad.
0:46:47 > 0:46:50But I've never told my dad about any of my boyfriends,
0:46:50 > 0:46:53and I've never told any of my boyfriends about my family.
0:46:55 > 0:46:56Can we just...
0:46:57 > 0:47:00..leave now, go to Vegas, and get married on our own, please?
0:47:00 > 0:47:04No, we can't, cos Vegas isn't very me, is it?
0:47:04 > 0:47:08And it certainly isn't you, getting married without friends and family.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10Nothing matters to me more than you.
0:47:12 > 0:47:13I have to go home,
0:47:13 > 0:47:16but you should stay here for a couple of weeks and fix this.
0:47:18 > 0:47:21You really want a wedding without your dad or uncle?
0:47:58 > 0:48:01I am trying to sleep.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06- You've been tossing and turning all night.- Sorry.
0:48:08 > 0:48:09What are you doing?
0:48:12 > 0:48:14It's the middle of the night.
0:48:15 > 0:48:17I need to work on my starters.
0:48:18 > 0:48:20It's only practice, not bloody jadoo.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34- You're up early. - I haven't been to bed.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38- You entered, then. - Ah.
0:48:38 > 0:48:40- What is it? - A new starter.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43I was thinking more like muesli this morning,
0:48:43 > 0:48:44but if you want an opinion...
0:48:47 > 0:48:49Oh, that's good.
0:48:49 > 0:48:55Local strawberries, Indian mangoes, yoghurt, spices, and papris.
0:48:55 > 0:48:58A breakfast chaat.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00Maybe for the morning of your wedding?
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Just because you got our horoscopes done, behind my back,
0:49:04 > 0:49:07doesn't mean I've suddenly changed my mind.
0:49:07 > 0:49:09There'll be no Indian wedding, Dad.
0:49:09 > 0:49:11I wanted to finalise plans before you met Mark.
0:49:11 > 0:49:15- I'm very pleased he came.- Of course you are, you had our charts matched!
0:49:18 > 0:49:20- You want to see them? - No, Dad, I don't.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23- I was just asking. - You know what I want to see?- What?
0:49:23 > 0:49:25A main course.
0:49:25 > 0:49:27You been practising those too?
0:49:27 > 0:49:30Because you'll have to cook both for the competition.
0:49:48 > 0:49:52'You know how unhappy it makes me when you fight in the kitchen.'
0:49:52 > 0:49:54You'll help me with the starters, Raja.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57Jagi will help me with the main courses.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59That way, we stay out of each other's way.
0:50:20 > 0:50:24I promise you, I will get you your money! Look, in the meantime...
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Somebody didn't like the food.
0:50:26 > 0:50:27CLEARS THROAT LOUDLY
0:50:27 > 0:50:30Look, please, just take a seat. Thank you.
0:50:31 > 0:50:35Guys, hi! Er, five minutes. Take a seat, I'll get you a drink.
0:50:38 > 0:50:39Chandu uncle, how are you?
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Don't have your wedding reception here, please.
0:50:43 > 0:50:46We just came to have a look. What are you doing here?
0:50:46 > 0:50:50Jagi was angry. He sacked me again. I have to work, I have a family.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52I'm so sorry about my uncle.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Sharma needed a head waiter, but before today, I swear,
0:50:54 > 0:50:56I did not know.
0:50:56 > 0:50:57Not know what?
0:51:03 > 0:51:05What's going on?
0:51:06 > 0:51:07Why are we closed?
0:51:09 > 0:51:11What's going on, Kirit ji?
0:51:18 > 0:51:21- Dad! - Go away.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24Go away, leave me alone.
0:51:24 > 0:51:25Leave me alone.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28- Give me the bottle, Dad. - Shh! Shh.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32You are my daughter, not my mother.
0:51:33 > 0:51:36- Although sometimes I can't be sure. - Raja sahib...
0:51:36 > 0:51:39You betrayed me, Kirit.
0:51:39 > 0:51:43You found a new hiding place for my cigarettes, you traitor.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46- Let's get you some water, Dad. - What has my life become?
0:51:47 > 0:51:50What has my life become?
0:51:50 > 0:51:52I can't cook a main course.
0:51:52 > 0:51:57And my daughter is getting married in her bloody underwear.
0:51:57 > 0:51:58- Come on, Dad. - No, no, no. Stand up.
0:52:07 > 0:52:08- Are they coming? - Yep.
0:52:10 > 0:52:11I know you don't want to be here.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14You don't have to talk to each other, you just have to listen.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17The cancelled bookings, the health inspectors...
0:52:17 > 0:52:20- Don't forget the bin bags and rats. - Dad!
0:52:20 > 0:52:22This was all Rak Sharma.
0:52:22 > 0:52:23What? Why?
0:52:23 > 0:52:26He spent a fortune on his place, owes some scary people
0:52:26 > 0:52:28a lot of money, and there's a lot of competition in the area.
0:52:28 > 0:52:31- How do you know this? - Chandu.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33- How does Chandu know? - He's been working for Sharma.
0:52:33 > 0:52:37- You sacked him again?- I lost my temper. I didn't mean it, huh?
0:52:37 > 0:52:39I never trusted that jackal, Sharma.
0:52:39 > 0:52:44- You shouldn't have trained him, then.- Which fool hired him?- Stop it!
0:52:44 > 0:52:46- What are you going to do about it? - I'm going to punch that...
0:52:46 > 0:52:47HE SPEAKS HINDI
0:52:47 > 0:52:49Think you might be a bit late there.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53- That's my nephew, huh? - That's my son.
0:52:53 > 0:52:57He's entered the competition. Hired a top Indian hotel chef.
0:52:57 > 0:53:00How did that tricky bastard get him a work visa?
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Probably paid some haramsharif off.
0:53:02 > 0:53:05If he wins, he'll use the publicity, and his restaurant will
0:53:05 > 0:53:08- no doubt be a great success. - Won't happen.
0:53:08 > 0:53:10- Because that- HINDI- can't beat me.
0:53:10 > 0:53:13With your so-called pani puri, I wouldn't bet on it.
0:53:14 > 0:53:17How are your main courses coming along, Dad?
0:53:19 > 0:53:22If you two really care about the reputation of this family,
0:53:22 > 0:53:25which was once about beautiful cooking, you'll enter this together,
0:53:25 > 0:53:26and win.
0:53:34 > 0:53:37The purpose of this is to practise the format,
0:53:37 > 0:53:42- and to taste for each other. - You will also taste the dishes, no?
0:53:42 > 0:53:44We do this properly, or not at all.
0:53:45 > 0:53:48Four ingredients, plus garlic and parsley.
0:53:48 > 0:53:51- Parsley?- Non-traditional, locally sourced ingredients.
0:53:54 > 0:53:57It tastes like daniya. Tell your uncle.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00He heard you! A starter and a main course.
0:54:01 > 0:54:05- 20 minutes from now.- 20 minutes? - A little less now.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Five minutes.
0:54:41 > 0:54:43MOCKING: "Five minutes." JAGI CHUCKLES
0:54:49 > 0:54:50Chandu.
0:55:05 > 0:55:07Stand next to Uncle!
0:55:10 > 0:55:12You have to cook together.
0:55:15 > 0:55:17Taste it.
0:55:28 > 0:55:29See?
0:56:15 > 0:56:17Contestants, please take your places.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19Dad, Uncle, can I have a word?
0:56:21 > 0:56:24I have something for you, to bring you some luck.
0:56:42 > 0:56:44Good luck.
0:56:58 > 0:56:59How are you? What a crowd!
0:57:01 > 0:57:04- How are you? Are you excited? - CROWD CHEERS
0:57:06 > 0:57:08- Why are we here? - CROWD: Curry!
0:57:08 > 0:57:10- You want to help with the curry? - CROWD: Yeah!
0:57:10 > 0:57:12Thank you for coming to Kings Of Curry.
0:57:12 > 0:57:15Now, 25 teams, five heats,
0:57:15 > 0:57:18the winner of each heat goes through to the grand final.
0:57:18 > 0:57:19Ladies and gentlemen,

0:57:27 > 0:57:31APPLAUSE, CHEERS
0:57:34 > 0:57:37OK, can I have my first five teams, please?
0:57:49 > 0:57:52Right, one starter, one main course.
0:57:52 > 0:57:57Three spices, four main ingredients, and you've got 30 minutes.
0:57:57 > 0:58:00Your time starts...
0:58:00 > 0:58:02now. Get cooking!
0:59:20 > 0:59:24OK, stop cooking. Knives and pans down, please. Knives and pans down.
0:59:33 > 0:59:36Now, for the first round of tasting.
0:59:56 > 1:00:00It's nearly seven. They're about to announce the finalists.
1:00:03 > 1:00:05Well, well, well...
1:00:06 > 1:00:09I'm surprised you oldies managed to, uh, bury the hatchet.
1:00:09 > 1:00:12Just out of interest, who apologised to who?
1:00:12 > 1:00:15Piss off, you bloody chutney peddler.
1:00:15 > 1:00:18Chutney. Wasn't it a chutney recipe that you fell out over?
1:00:18 > 1:00:19No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
1:00:19 > 1:00:22You'd better bugger off before I dig out that hatchet and make you
1:00:22 > 1:00:23- a hijra.- Oi...
1:00:23 > 1:00:24Hey!
1:00:27 > 1:00:31Don't dare touch my brother, you bloody shit maker.
1:00:33 > 1:00:35I didn't think I'd ever see that.
1:00:35 > 1:00:36Ah!
1:00:39 > 1:00:41We'll see who wins, huh?
1:00:44 > 1:00:47Once a gadha, always a bloody gadha.

1:01:18 > 1:01:20THEY CHEER
1:01:29 > 1:01:30OK, nearly done.
1:01:35 > 1:01:37Mmm.
1:01:37 > 1:01:41Your food is really quite, quite remarkable.
1:01:41 > 1:01:43Thank you, Madhurji.
1:01:43 > 1:01:45- Do you mind if I ask you a question? - No.
1:01:45 > 1:01:48Raja, you have always made the starters.
1:01:48 > 1:01:49Since I was a boy.
1:01:49 > 1:01:52And, Jagi, you have always made the main course.
1:01:52 > 1:01:54Always.
1:01:54 > 1:01:57The balance between them is so perfect,
1:01:57 > 1:02:00I honestly can't imagine having one without the other.
1:02:00 > 1:02:03- Think we know where this is going. - Shut up, girl.
1:02:03 > 1:02:06Now, I was told that you have your own restaurants now,
1:02:08 > 1:02:13but you used to have one together, Jadoo. It seems such a shame.
1:02:13 > 1:02:15And I was just wondering, why?
1:02:21 > 1:02:24Well, perhaps you'd prefer not to talk about it.
1:02:27 > 1:02:29No, of course not.
1:02:31 > 1:02:34Stupid, stupid man.
1:02:34 > 1:02:36My brother can tell you why.
1:02:38 > 1:02:41Um, I'm sorry, Madhurji. My brother is mistaken.
1:02:41 > 1:02:43It is a question only for him.
1:02:45 > 1:02:48I'm afraid my older brother is confused.
1:02:48 > 1:02:51Maybe he can tell you why he sold one of our recipes.
1:02:53 > 1:02:56Trying to make me lose face in front of Madhur Jaffrey, huh?
1:02:56 > 1:02:58This is a new low.
1:02:58 > 1:02:59Lose face?
1:02:59 > 1:03:02You did that a long time ago when you stole from your family.
1:03:02 > 1:03:04Eh?
1:03:13 > 1:03:18This is why, this is why, Madhurji. My brother's temper is impossible.
1:03:18 > 1:03:19How dare you?!
1:03:19 > 1:03:23You can betray and steal from your own mother and call me impossible?!
1:03:23 > 1:03:27I told you once before, never bring our mother into it, I...
1:03:27 > 1:03:29HE GROANS IN PAIN
1:03:29 > 1:03:30CROWD GASP
1:03:30 > 1:03:31Dad?
1:03:31 > 1:03:33Dad!
1:03:33 > 1:03:34HE COUGHS AND GRUNTS
1:03:34 > 1:03:36- Oh.- Call an ambulance, now.
1:03:36 > 1:03:38What have you done?
1:03:38 > 1:03:40It's OK, Raji. You're all right.
1:03:40 > 1:03:42You're OK, you're OK, Raji.
1:03:42 > 1:03:44He's OK.
1:03:59 > 1:04:00He had a heart attack.
1:04:00 > 1:04:04- Oh, God. - But relatively minor.
1:04:04 > 1:04:07The cardiologist's an old friend, he says he's absolutely fine.
1:04:09 > 1:04:10You can go and see him if you like.
1:04:12 > 1:04:14I shouldn't have phoned you, I just...
1:04:14 > 1:04:16Oh, no, don't be silly.
1:04:18 > 1:04:20Go and see your father.
1:04:33 > 1:04:35- Hey, Dad. - How are you feeling?
1:04:35 > 1:04:37Nothing wrong with me.
1:04:37 > 1:04:39They still want to keep me in for a few days.
1:04:39 > 1:04:40You've had a heart attack.
1:04:40 > 1:04:42- HE CHUCKLES - A little one.
1:04:42 > 1:04:45The doctor said it was like having bad indigestion.
1:04:45 > 1:04:47- Have you seen this menu? Huh? - HE CHUCKLES
1:04:47 > 1:04:50If I eat here, that'll kill me.
1:04:50 > 1:04:52There's nothing wrong with this guy.
1:04:52 > 1:04:53You scared us, Dad.
1:04:53 > 1:04:55Whose fault is that?
1:04:55 > 1:04:57You're both to blame for what happened.
1:04:57 > 1:05:01Me?! I'm in hospital, half-dead, and you say this.
1:05:01 > 1:05:04Because it's the truth. Why can't you both just accept that?
1:05:04 > 1:05:05Guys, take it easy.
1:05:05 > 1:05:07Shalini?
1:05:07 > 1:05:09You're right. I'm sorry, Dad. I don't want to get you worked up.
1:05:09 > 1:05:12Then don't talk about him. He has caused all of this.
1:05:14 > 1:05:16Did we win?
1:05:16 > 1:05:19I don't know, we haven't been home.
1:05:19 > 1:05:20You stayed all night?
1:05:20 > 1:05:22Of course.
1:05:24 > 1:05:27Go home and get some rest.
1:05:27 > 1:05:28That's a good idea.
1:05:29 > 1:05:31Come on.
1:05:31 > 1:05:33Shalini...
1:05:33 > 1:05:34cook something for me.
1:05:35 > 1:05:37It'll make me feel much better.
1:05:47 > 1:05:48I never see you cook.
1:05:50 > 1:05:51I never have the time.
1:05:55 > 1:05:56I find it relaxing.
1:05:58 > 1:05:59It suits you.
1:05:59 > 1:06:01You should do it more.
1:06:38 > 1:06:39- Wait here.- What?
1:06:39 > 1:06:42I'll be back in five minutes, just wait.
1:06:49 > 1:06:51I'm sorry about what happened...
1:06:51 > 1:06:54but I can't apologise to your father.
1:06:55 > 1:06:57Will you at least come and say goodbye to him?
1:07:00 > 1:07:02What?
1:07:03 > 1:07:04Are they sure about this?
1:07:16 > 1:07:17Dad.
1:07:17 > 1:07:18- Oh.- How are you feeling?
1:07:20 > 1:07:23Ach, they gave me a Valium.
1:07:23 > 1:07:24Feeling great.
1:07:25 > 1:07:27Did you get me some food?
1:07:27 > 1:07:28I did,
1:07:28 > 1:07:30but I want you to see someone first.
1:07:37 > 1:07:39What is he doing here?
1:07:39 > 1:07:40I wanted to give you this.
1:07:57 > 1:07:59Before you say anything, just listen.
1:07:59 > 1:08:01- You lied to me.- Yes.- Let him go.
1:08:01 > 1:08:03OK, if both of you don't listen to what I have to say,
1:08:03 > 1:08:06right now, you will never see me again.
1:08:11 > 1:08:15All I wanted is for both of you to be at my wedding,
1:08:15 > 1:08:16and this is where we end up.
1:08:16 > 1:08:19- This is what I... - Dad, please, shut up. Let me finish.
1:08:19 > 1:08:21- I agreed to come... - Uncle, please shut up too.
1:08:22 > 1:08:24You two are going to talk
1:08:24 > 1:08:26or I'll never come back here.
1:08:39 > 1:08:41All right, then. That's fine.
1:08:41 > 1:08:42I'm leaving.
1:08:42 > 1:08:44And I won't see either of you again.
1:08:44 > 1:08:46Shalini, you don't mean this.
1:08:46 > 1:08:48Don't you know me, Dad?
1:08:50 > 1:08:51Shalini...
1:08:52 > 1:08:53..I will talk to him.
1:09:11 > 1:09:13If you wanted money for Shalini's
1:09:13 > 1:09:14school fees, I wouldn't have minded.
1:09:41 > 1:09:43Don't be sad.
1:09:48 > 1:09:50We can go to another doctor.
1:09:51 > 1:09:52It's not what I want.
1:09:55 > 1:09:57But I do want you to do something for me.
1:10:28 > 1:10:31I don't want Jagi to worry.
1:10:31 > 1:10:33He's still my little boy.
1:10:34 > 1:10:38I want you to sell my pickle recipe to the company that wants it.
1:10:39 > 1:10:42If you take any money out of the business, Jagi will find out.
1:10:44 > 1:10:46I don't want him to know I don't have long.
1:12:24 > 1:12:25I wanted to be like you.
1:12:27 > 1:12:28I looked up to you.
1:12:30 > 1:12:31Don't you see that?
1:13:37 > 1:13:39Define perfect.
1:13:43 > 1:13:44There... Taste it now.
1:14:07 > 1:14:08OK, enough.
1:14:09 > 1:14:12No, no, no, no, no! Dad, go, go.
1:14:14 > 1:14:18So, um, everything here I cooked.
1:14:18 > 1:14:21The recipe for the cauliflower took my grandmother 20 years
1:14:21 > 1:14:22to get right.
1:14:22 > 1:14:25I tasted it and told her it was perfect.
1:14:25 > 1:14:28I was six and it's one of my happiest memories.
1:14:28 > 1:14:29- Taste it.- All right.
1:14:36 > 1:14:37It's perfect.
1:14:37 > 1:14:39This is my mum's recipe.
1:14:39 > 1:14:42The one dish she made for my dad that nobody else made.
1:14:42 > 1:14:44Nobody's made it since she died.
1:14:46 > 1:14:47Taste it.
1:14:51 > 1:14:52Mmm!
1:14:52 > 1:14:54And the samosas are for you.
1:15:00 > 1:15:01Oh, my God.
1:15:02 > 1:15:04That's, um...
1:15:04 > 1:15:06- chocolate and...?- Mango...
1:15:06 > 1:15:08and a little bit of vanilla.
1:15:08 > 1:15:10There's a photo of you as a boy, sitting on a swing,
1:15:10 > 1:15:12looking at another boy's ice cream.
1:15:12 > 1:15:13Chocolate, mango and vanilla.
1:15:13 > 1:15:15You remembered that?
1:15:15 > 1:15:16You looked so tragic.
1:15:18 > 1:15:21When I saw that picture, I decided at that moment that I was
1:15:21 > 1:15:22in love with you.
1:15:22 > 1:15:25You see, I thought if I promised to make you
1:15:25 > 1:15:28a different dish every week, with a story, for the rest of our lives -
1:15:28 > 1:15:31so you wouldn't miss anything and I wouldn't keep anything from
1:15:31 > 1:15:34you ever again - that maybe we could play catch up on the things
1:15:34 > 1:15:37that I should have told you, but was too thoughtless to realise.
1:15:37 > 1:15:40- And that you, you... - If I gave you your ring back,
1:15:40 > 1:15:42would you stop babbling?
1:15:42 > 1:15:45Yes. Yes, I would.
1:15:45 > 1:15:46Good.
1:15:46 > 1:15:48Just so I know.
1:15:48 > 1:15:51And, just in case, you still OK with an Indian wedding?
1:15:51 > 1:15:53I hear it's a really big deal with your dad.
1:15:53 > 1:15:55- I'm OK with any wedding.- Good.
1:15:55 > 1:15:57Just in case.
1:15:57 > 1:15:59Of course, on the off chance...
1:15:59 > 1:16:00- Mmm.- Yeah, that's right.
