Fortune Mustard Oil - Guests

Film opens on a couple receiving guests at home.
Two friends meeting each other after a long time, along with their families.
Lots of excited hi's and hellos happen. Hugs and back-slapping happens.
They are welcomed in with much bonhomie, patting the kids on the heads as they enter, and all that.
One man tells the other: I'm so happy tum family ke saath dinner ke liye aaye...
The other man rubbishes it: Arre, college ka dost dus saal ke baad mil raha hain...of course I'll come.

And in the general mood of happiness, the wife of the friend takes a deep breath,
And she generously compliments the hosts: Food smells lovely!
She even recognizes the dish and is very impressed: Alu dum?! Oh god, itni takleef kyun lee apne...

And there's complete silence.
The couple hosting the dinner is looking very embarassed.
The other couple doesn't know what just happened, and look at each other wondering what she said wrong.
The man of the house clears his throat and clarifies: Uh... actually veg kofta toh second floor ke Mrs Chatterjee bana rahi hai....

Cut to the camera moving down from the apartment to the second floor kitchen of Mrs Chatterjee.
She's preparing her vegetable kofta, with Fortune Mustard Cooking Oil.

MVO: Fortune Kachi Ghani oil. Iski mehek duur duur tak jaye...aur kahe ab bas toot padho!

Cut back to the man of the house shrugging in a rather embarrassed manner: Hamne socha bahar se pizza manga- lete hai...
And the two couples exchange some very stupid, embarassed smiles.
