Original subtitles

"- Sir, the engineer is on his way. - Where is he?"

- Good day sir. - When will work on the circular tower begin?

Tomorrow we'll start on the base and then the iron rods.

- And concrete? - Two days after that.

So in a week it will be complete.

- Yes sir. - Sit down.

"- Is Amar here? - Yes, he's up there."

There? How does one go up?

Take that ladder.

You? Here at this hour?

- I'm in trouble. - How can trouble be in trouble?

You find it funny while I'm in dire straits.

But what's the matter?

Come here.

I told you about the Major?

I've fallen for his son.

- How is that possible? - Why?

First you fell in love with his daughter. Now his son!

What will people say?

Oh no! He calls his daughter his son.

Don't say it in front of others or they will think the worst!

Stop fooling around and help me.

I love her but she doesn't even look at your star.

I'll do that.

What did I do to get close to her? I told Neeta's mother..

I want to stage the Ramleela and Neeta alone can play Sita.

Her mother is an English lady but crazy about old Indian culture.

And Romeo's wish was granted.

"Yes, but I'm in trouble."

"When she looks into my eyes during rehearsal, I can't join our hearts."

I break out in sweat and forget all my dialogues.

- My heart loses control.. - What can I do?

You told me your mother recited Ramayana and other religious books.

Give me moral support and help me in the rehearsal.

Welcome!

- We'll take your rehearsal. - What do I have to do?

You only have to practice walking to garland Lord Rama.

All of you take position.

What a walk! What a gait!

"This is Marlyn Monroe's walk, not Sita's."

- Forgive me but I'm right. - Who are you?

My friend. His mother read out all the religious books to him.

I've called him to help us. This is Neeta.

My friend lives in the village. He is actually an engineer...

But doesn't know our customs.

"Yes, can't play foreign music on local instruments."

Then you explain to her how to walk.

Tulsidas writes in the Ramayana...

When mother Sita goes to put the garland in Lord Rama's neck..

It was like this.

What does it mean?

Sita was hesitant.

She wanted to see him. Love was hidden in her heart.

Nobody knew of it. She went closer...

"When she saw his glory, she was enthralled."

Try to bring that innocence ad purity into your eyes.

That must have been in her eyes.

Why are you standing like this?

Lord Rama was the epitome of manhood.

Bring that peace and glow to your expression.

That must have been on his face.

Practice that walk at home.

Today we'll rehearse something else.

My lord!

Son of an Aryan! Don't think of removing me from your feet.

Why are you nervous?

What should I say?

Move aside.

Repeat it.

Lord!

Will you only look into her eyes or will you say something?

Don't think of removing me from your feet!

Listen my soul mate.

"If you want the welfare of both of us, obey me and go home."

"My partner, obey my command."

You can look after your in laws and it will be for the best.

I will find no happiness in the world without you.

Like a body without life or a river without water.

So is a woman without her husband.

"Staying with you, seeing your face will give me all the worldyjoys."

"My delicate darling, you are not fit for the forest."

The swan that is bred on pure water..

...can't survive on sea water.

Will a koel living off sweet fruits survive in a bitter gourd forest?

Heaven would be hell for me if you were not with me!

I would give up my life if you are not with me!

Wonderful!

You speak very well.

From tomorrow so will I.

Let's cancel rehearsal today. We'll start in grand style tomorrow.

Pack up boys.

See you later.

Acts loving if he sees me.

Otherwise keeps courting Neeta!

You romance like an old woman despite being so modern?

Isn't our friendship sufficient?

- Why don't you understand? - I don't have the time.

It's time for the rehearsal. Bye. See you.

- Will you come to the party? - Will you?

"If you invite me, I have to."

What are you staring at?

"Tell me, don't you love Neeta?"

Then why do you flirt with others?

"My friend; love, romance, flirting, beloved, girl friend, wife..."

They are all different.

You don't leave one when you find the other.

I don't understand this.

How can man be tied in one relation and go elsewhere?

There should be some difference between man and animal.

You and your old fashioned talk! Learn to change with the times.

I don't want to imitate others and forget myself.

Anyway lets rehearse.

Madam! Garland ready in hand?

Come on then.

What have you done?

Prakash was to be garlanded!

One who resembles Ravana can never be Ram.

Do I look like Ravana?

I will play Sita only if Amar is willing to play Ram.

Will you do the role?

This is a good deed. I will surely do it.

- Then what will Prakash do? - Let him play Hanuman.

The one I trusted let me down!

I thought he was my friend but he turned out to be an enemy!

What nonsense? Am I your enemy?

You wouldn't play Ram if you weren't!

I did not want to act.

- Neeta asked me in front of you. - so what?

- But why did you accept? - Because you can't do it!

And I wouldn't want a man who can't inspire devotion..

To Play Rama!

That's cock and bull! The truth is you want to flirt with Neeta!

Don't measure everyone by your standards! I don't pursue girls!

Never say such a thing again!

You may do this nonsense!

So you won't act in the play?

I would have refused but now I will do it!

The trash you churn out under the guise of religion..

I won't let that come true!

"Do all this in clubs, parties and your homes!"

- You may leave. - But.. - I don't want to hear a thing.

I'll see you!

"See whatever you have to, now!"

Fool!

- Where had you gone? - Nowhere.

"A lady, all smiles, was asking about you."

- I was talking to her. - Who was asking for me?

You ought to know better. She is waiting for you.

I'll go. This is my address. Go home and get the food on the table.

I'll go and get it now.

- What are you doing here? - Going shopping. Came to see you.

- Let's go shopping. - I have a job to do.

I can't leave till the office shuts for the day.

- Can we meet in the evening? - Sure if you wish to.

- Promise? - Promise.

He's coming!

- He's come. - He's come.

Good God!

Mother!

Call your father. Leave you on the streets after birth!

"- Mother! - Mother, again!"

Now talk! I'll break the hands of the man who touches my baby!

"Come here, I'll show you stars!"

Stay away from me! Call your husband!

I don't beat up women. Something wrong might happen.

Showing me eyes!

What can you do besides fight?

The man who will hold me back hasn't taken birth.

- But wife.. - Stop interfering!

- Now speak! - I'm no coward like your husband.

The person who can show me stars as not taken birth!

What are you watching my sons? The enemy has challenged your mom!

It's a matter of your mother's honour. Break all his bones!

Get out!

Forgive me! The fat lady is outside! I'll shut my eyes!

I'll meet my death! I've shut my eyes.

- I'm dead! - Not yet!

But now you'll die!

Excellent!

Stop it! Let the poor man go.

I'll gouge out the eyes of any man who looks at my kids!

"- Get out of my way! - No, please don't!"

Forgive me. I won't be offended even if they hit me with a shoe.

- Good day sir. - Where is the Major?

- Upstairs. - Why don't you say? Standing for ages! - Sorry sir.

You've come here at this hour?

But today was the show of your prehistoric drama.

I didn't go because that villager Amar was playing Ram.

- Why? - Your daughter refused to work with me.

She says I resemble Ravana not Ram.

- She judged you well. - You think I'm a villian?

I think you're a Don Juan.

But you're not fit for Ramleela.

You're a modern man and that is a prehistorical drama!

You should have chosen a Shaw or Shakespeare play.

My daughter would have been great as My Fair Lady!

I thought the same but aunt said Neeta will act only in Ramleela.

"If you walk on the path prescribed by women, you'll always be a failure."

It's my personal experience.

"Welcome back. How was the drama, my dear?"

Darling don't call it a drama.

"You should have taken birth 2000 years ago in India, not England."

I brought her thinking she's an English butterfly.

But she turned out to be an Indian buffalo!

"If I'm an Indian buffalo, you're an English ass!"

- Am I an ass? - Of course.

"If you weren't you'd talk in the language of Ram, Krishna..."

"Mahavira, not leave Indian culture for this English accent."

"if I didn't run after western culture, how would I find you?"

I'm always right. How was your role?

Ask mummy.

They were terrific! It felt as if Ram and Sita are before our eyes.

- You should have come. - It made no difference.

Don't say that. He is a good boy.

You shouldn't talk about each other like this.

Apologise to him. Be a sport.

Not like this! Smile and say sorry. Then shake hands.

Now I have no complaints.

- Excuse me... - Yes?

What are you looking so intently?

These fountains...who are trying to reach to the sky.

But fall short.

They maybe unsuccessful but at least they're trying.

What is the point of that joy which can't be successful?

It's only after the effort that you know if you're successful.

Why did you stop...?

I wanted to say something.

But I don't know what you'd say.

- Why do you address me formally? - How else should I address you?

I'm younger to you so talk to me informally.

- Say it.. - I

I mean I want to ask you...

You... forget it.

"No, you must ask."

- Should I? - Yes.

- Forget it. - You're feeling shy.

"- No, I'm not shy but I feel.. - What do you feel?"

That a girl comes to meet me.

Does it mean love?

- Isn't it? - I don't know.

You're feeling shy. Answer me.

Why do you make me say what you should be saying?

- Let go of my hand. - You just said..

One should keep trying.

I asked you to try not to hold my hand.

This is the first step of my effort.

And the last step?

Vermilion in your hair.

And a beautiful house.

"With many small, sweet..."

"I'm not talking about kids! I mean rooms, small sweet rooms."

"In it will play many small, sweet."

- Don't talk like this. - I'm referring to kittens.

"And with these sweet kittens will play small, sweet..."

- Now what? - Our kids.

Listen...!

You're an evergreen flower. You lookjust as you did earlier.

It's true.

For what are you buttering mummy?

Actually... I asked your mother for only one rupee.

- But she refuses. - Give it to him.

Don't break his heart.

Later. First tell me why are you so late?

Don't get angry. I know my daughter very well.

She won't do anything wrong. Where were you my child?

With whom?

I got it. With that actor?

Bring him here so I can see the geography of the one my child chose.

I'll bring him tomorrow.

Neither did the drink have a name nor the bottle.

Good day.

- This is Amar. - It can only be him.

Will you play Rummy? 50 paise to a point.

- I don't gamble. - Yes Papa he doesn't gamble.

- What do you do in the club? - I don't frequent clubs.

Yes he doesn't go to clubs.

Will you have a drink?

I don't drink liquor.

He doesn't drink.

"You don't gamble or drink or go to clubs, then why are you alive?"

Are these essential to live?

Life is for the brave. The cowards hardly live!

Forgive me. My mother didn't teach me this.

- Then what she teach you. - I do neither of these.

Your mother seems even more old fashioned.

Why are you saying this?

- Are you annoyed? - No.

I'm very sorry for what Daddy said yesterday.

I want to apologise for it.

No need to. What your Daddy said was right.

- That was wrong. - Why don't you understand?

We've grown up in different environments.

- We think differently. - How does that matter?

The same difference that you see in the 2 shores of a river.

That is in the sky and the earth.

"When the river meets the sea, the difference ends."

And the earth meets the sky at the horizon where the eye meets.

That is an illusion.

But the foundation of love is trust not illusion.

Don't doubt my love.

These steps that have been taken with you towards love...

They will never fall back.

This is my mother.

- Doesn't she live here? - There's a village near Nainital.

She's a teacher in the school. She has worked to educate me.

"Now when I ask her to quit, she says she'll quit when I get married."

- So get married. - I would...

- But I must find a girl. - Haven't found her as yet?

Let me know if you have anyone in mind.

Justa minute.

Listenmwhere are you going?

To find you a wife.

I can't send the one in my heart to look for a wife.

- Then what about your marriage? - One solution.

Just as our ministers look after 2 or 3 portfolios...

Similarly if you can take over heart as well as home...

You'll make me work very hard..

You embarrass me. Take this.

For taking over the home portfolio.

Now you're embarrassing me.

- Dear... - Coming Papa.

- Come fast. - What is it?

How is this ring?

- For whom is it? - A present for you.

Who brought it?

Liked it?

How is this ring?

Which rings are you comparing?

- This one glitters... - All that glitters is not gold.

What you consider glass is a real diamond.

This ring befits you.

- It's very expensive. - There's a fear of it being stolen.

And doesn't take time in changing hands.

But nobody will notice this.

What about me?

Whatever God desires.

Now you must leave. I will talk to her.

I want to speak to you.

Listen carefully.

You won't be happy with Amar.

Neither do your thoughts match nor your upbringing.

Time changes thoughts and circumstances.

They don't dear. The fire of love cools down after marriage.

And you'll have fights and tensions over little issues.

You'll want to go your way while he will want his way.

"No Papa, we'll always be together."

There won't be any wall between us.

My eyes can see the wall even today.

You should use your head not heart.

Do you want me to be happy?

- Yes dear. - Then let it be as I want it.

Now I won't say a word.

I want this to be decided before we leave for America.

Call him over tomorrow.

Have you read it?

- Yes. - What does it say?

80 passengers died in an air crash.

But why did you ask me to read it?

Because my wife and I are flying to America tomorrow to meet her parents.

It is possible that our plane too might crash.

- And we go up there. - I hope not.

But if it happens"?

It's God's will.

I want to fulfil my wish before God has his way.

You will marry Neeta tomorrow.

- So soon? - If you have to marry..

- Why the delay? - But I haven't asked mother.

Did you ask your mother before flirting with her?

No... But is it necessary?

Is my child a toy that you chose and ask your mother to buy it?

"And then when you've had enough, you'll walk away!"

You are putting words in my mouth!

Time will show whether you are right or wrong!

But right now you have to decide whether you'll marry her tomorrow!

Lost again?

Major? Here?

I came because you didn't come.

I couldn't come because I wasn't feeling well.

I can spot a flying bird. I know why you didn't come.

It's nothing of that sort.

All your wishes are not fulfilled in life.

You lose some and you win some.

"Forget the past. Neeta is your friend, your classmate."

Amar too is your friend. Both of them have come. Wish them.

Accept my wishes on your marriage.

Thank you.

You should be fined for not attending their wedding.

I accept.

Throw a grand party for them.

- Let's do it today. - We're going to Nainital.

Then when you return.

Get ready. We'll see them off at the station.

Were you waiting for the train to start?

- Yes. - Be sensible and sit down quietly.

I will if you come along.

"My seat is different. I'll sit in my seat, you in yours."

"Okay, you sit in your seat and I'll sit in yours."

- Okay...no! - Don't go back after accepting.

- Come on. - No.

What do you want?

- Nothing. - Then move along.

What do you mean? Stay 3 feet away from me.

Let fresh air flow.

Will you also travel in this coupe?

This is what I want to ask you!

Shame! What terrible luck!

Cover your head and come.

Put the bags here.

- Are you listening? - What's teh matter?

- Amar's bride is here. - Are you drunk?

No marriage and the bride is here?

See for yorself.

Amar's bride is here!

- Salutations uncle. - Live long son.

What is this?

She is your daughter-in-law.

He is Hanuman uncle. Touch his feet.

No! I'm his servant not uncle.

- Have I ever considered you a servatn? - No.

Then why do you say this?

Has mother gone in?

She has taken the school children on a trip.

Did she say when she would return?

No but the school has a month long break.

Maybe she will return in a month.

Our trip here has been wasted.

Here are the sweets.

Did you mix the loose motion inducing potion in it?

Yes but be careful. Give only one sweetmeat to those under 10.

And two for above 10. You are responsible.

I'll feed the whole army except the girl and her father.

Sweetmeats!

That man is back!

How are you son?

I'm fine father. How many fathers do I have all together?

- Twelve. - Twelve! Goodness!

I don't think there' a family planning depot here.

- What? - Nothing.

This confirmed bachelor has brought sweets for you.

Not like this. Stand in line and tell me your age.

Okay. In line.

- Age? - 16

- Two sweetmeat. - 15.

- Two for you. - 14.

- Double. - 13

- 12. - Double. -11. - Double.

- 10 years. - Single.

- 9 - Single. - 8 - Single.

7? single.

You share one.

- Age...20. - Four for you.

"You? No, I won't give you."

- Why? - This not for you.

- You won't give me? - No way.

- Why not? - I said no.

.N°? .N°!

- What's going on? - I've brought sweets.

She wanted it but I said I'd give it to you.

Eat as many as you want.

You should get your nourishment.

Eat. I'll take leave.

How can you leave? Grab a bite then go.

"No, I can't stay. If the result is declared, it will be lethal!"

- What result? - Maharashtra lottery.

It was announced 2 days back.

- Must be another. - Make him some tea.

I won't let you leave without a bite.

The first one has gone in!

You also come in.

Consider it your own house.

- Let me go. - Don't feel shy.

How is your work...?

"-I must leave. - Sit, I'll be back."

- Tea. - Tea!

"- You also ate them? - Yes, very tasty."

- Who brought them? - He did.

- I must leave. Bye. - Where are you going?

What did you mix in them? I'll kill you!

He brought them with love. Aren't you ashamed to...!

Something is wrong!

Hold him. I'll come back.

"- You stay, I'll go. - I said I'll go."

Can't you understand? I'll come back!

Hold me.

You stay here. I'm coming.

- Don't go. - I have to.

- Bye see you! - Listen.

No time to listen.

Wife!

- Wait out. - But listen...

- What is it? - Now what's the point?

What has he done to my children!

May you be ruined!

You will be unhappy all your life like you've troubled me!

How was the stay with the in laws?

Call itajungle.

"No cinema, clubs or lights. No going out anywhere."

I felt I was in a graveyard not a room!

Is your village so bad?

"Had he not been with me, I would have died!"

His mother wasn't there Nobody else was educated.

They spoke so funnily.

- They would call out.. - What?

Amar's bride is here!

Your party is due. When shall we have it?

I'm dying for our city life. What about this evening?

Fine. What do you say Amar?

We have to attend a party and you're not yet ready?

You go along. I don't feel like it.

The party is in our honour.

Get up and change.

What are you looking at?

When lightning strikes everybody's eyes are on it.

And do you know what happens when lightning continues"?

- What happens? - The viewer becomes blind.

- What are you doing? - I can't see a thing.

I'm hiding the lightning.

"If somebody sees us, I'll be hiding my face. The door is ajar."

- Shall I shut it? - No. Let's go.

Where do you want to go? Let's sit and talk.

I know how you will talk! You always have one thing in mind.

Go and change.

Wow! You've turned this villager into an Englishman!

Changing the dress changes your appearance not your thoughts.

Amar is the same.

I want your life partner to be my dance partner.

Sure. Go on.

Forgive me but I'm not fond of dancing.

Ask him to sing a hymn but don't ask him to dance.

No chance?

An advanced girl like you got such an illiterate husband?

Then let us hear hymns today.

We want hymns!

- Why are you leaving the party? - I care two hoots about this party.

Such a society and culture where people forget manners.

You have no right to insult others!

It is they who insult their country and its' customs not me.

"France, England and America your places of pilgrimage.."

The boys and girls living there do not behave so indecently!

Just think about what you were and what you've become.

Emulate Bhagat Singh if you must.

Emulate Nehru or Lal Bahadur Shastri.

Sarojini Naidu or Indira Gandhi!

You've insulted me!

You are limited in your vision. You like only your own self.

- Listen to me.. - I don't want to talk to you.

I don't like breaking your heart but what can I do?

"The values I was taught, the good and bad cloud my mind like a storm."

And in spite of not wanting to I say something or the other.

I hold my ears and apologise.

I say it for your welfare.

You must change with time. We should be coloured as the others.

What if we can colour others in our colours"?

- Again...? - No more.

- Come on. - Where? - To our room.

"- We'll talk. - No, I'm sleepy."

- I can't talk. - I can't sleep without it.

Had it! Mamma! Let go!

I haven't held you to let go.

- Come in. - No!

Your father will make me a monkey!

- He's sleeping. - If he gets up when I come in?

- I'll raise a racket.. - No! I'm coming.

Hope you won't tease me if I come inside

I think I've had it today!

- Shall I leave? - You've just come!

Why did you shut the window?

You're teasing me!

- Where are you going? - What are you doing?

Who is it? What is that sound?

A cat and a tomcat..

Get lost!

What a tomcat! Answers a shoe with a shoe!

- What have you done? - What could I do?

Save me Lord!

- Who is it? - Good day.

- You...? - I did nothing.

I swear by my God. Bye.

If I let you go. We maybe poor labourers but we have our honour.

But your honour is intact. She is sleeping.

- Father! - Get lost! I'll see where he goes!

Only one will survive today! Move aside.

"Coming, Sir?"

- Yes? - I'm going to office.

Go to my wife's house and bring her here. We'll stay here now.

How can she stay? We have neither utensils to cook nor ration to eat.

"So far I ate in the hotel. Once she's here, we'll arrange it."

You drop her here and come to the office. We'll buy everything.

- My flower. - I forgot it's my birthday.

She forgot the day and date after getting married.

- Bad luck. - Soon she'll forget herself.

Whether she was born or not.

- When will you go home? - I'll die but not go to that jungle!

What did the village women say on seeing you?

Amar's bride is here!

We must have a good party.

What party? I have no vessels in my house!

Is that all? We'll organise everything.

I'll call Amar to tell him..

No. Don't tell him now. We'll surprise him in the evening.

He'll be thrilled to see the grand party!

This is my house not a brothel!

Nobody will go!

You've humiliated me as well as them!

"If you cared of your name, this wouldn't have happened here!"

"What's happening? ls it wrong to throw a party, invite pals for food?"

ls it a party or a den of vice?

Look at that. Should a bottle of liquor be kept there?

"What's wrong with it? Goddesses and gods drank nectar, this is whisky."

I'll kill you if you poke fun of religion!

It will be terrible if you cross your limits!

Get out of my sight!

Scoundrel!

It's my son's birthday and no party at home? Where's she?

She had gone to her house to stay.

I forgot our son has a house.

Take out our bags. We'll go to give her a gift.

There she comes.

Tears in your eyes?

"What is wrong, son?"

"Wait, tell me what happened?"

- What's going on? - We threw a party for Neeta.

But your son-in-law couldn't bear to see her happy.

What did he present her on this occasion? A slap!

Slap? He slapped her?

He slapped her in front of everyone!

"When Prakash intervened, he thrashed him too."

And threw all of us out of the house!

I'll break the hand that slapped my child!

I'll kill him! Where's my gun?

- Stop darling! - No! What does he think of himself?

I married my daughter to him not made her his mistress!

What he did is wrong. But we've given him our child.

It's a question of her life. We must think before acting.

I don't want to think! I won't be at rest till I've avenged this!

Avenge it later. First control your temper.

Don't leave in this foul mood. I beg you.

What have you done?

It was her birthday today. And you slapped her!

You slapped her! lnsulted her!

Good day sir.

First listen to me.

I've come to apologise to Neeta.

You slapped her in public and now want to apologise in private?

You preached your culture and civility.

Is this your culture where women are treated as animals and thrashed?

No point in digging the past.

I don't want to discuss the reasons for bringing matters to this state.

I've only come to apologise to her.

You can be forgiven but on one condition.

- What condition? - Divorce!

A marriage is not a child's game that can be played and broken!

- It's a life and death partnership! - So you're arranging for her death?

"She doesn't want to live with a mannerless, uncultured man like you!"

Don't cross your limits! Talk with respect.

What would you know of manners? She doesn't want to live with you!

- You have to divorce her! - Who are you to decide our lives?

- Don't forget she's my daughter! - You don't forget that she's my wife!

- Now there's no relation! - It will die after we're dead.

- Where is she? - You can't meet her.

- Nobody can stop me. - Don't you dare!

I'll shoot you if you step towards her room!

Braking dogs never bite.

"I say, stop!"

Stop or I'll shoot!

Wait. Go away!

I want to talk to you.

What is left to say? Any dreams left to break?

- You misunderstand me. - First I misunderstood.

But now I know the truth. You slapped my heart not my face.

- I've come to apologise . - Don't try to come near me.

You've gone far away from me. For you Neeta is dead!

Our relation is finished!

Can't I repent for my sin?

Open the door! Tell the Major it's all a lie!

Say you don't want divorce. Open the door!

How did you come by?

- For divorce. - Divorce?

Are you mad? ls this your age to want a divorce?

For Neeta not myself.

What? Neeta wants a divorce?

She got married a few months ago.

It was destruction not a marriage. She ruined her own life.

- But what happened? - He slapped her in public.

My daughter will not live with such a scoundrel!

It's better to bring about a truce between them than worsen matters.

Then he slaps her all her life and we keep playing peace makers.

"If a patient's body rots, it's best to amputate it for his survival."

"if he couldn't keep her happy in these months, he'll never do it."

He is coming here. Talk to him and wind up the matter.

Why have I been called here?

I am very sorry about all that happened or is happening.

"But if you and Neeta want a divorce, I'll file for it."

Neither do I want a divorce nor will I grant it!

- You will have to! - You can't force me to sign it.

"In this birth, Neeta can not belong to anyone but me!"

She doesn't even want to see you!

So be it. But she is my wife and she will remain my wife.

- She means nothing to you! - Your words won't end the relation!

You may keep her home all her life!

But I will never divorce her!

Mother...

You've guided me at every step of life.

But when I wanted to proceed by myself...

I stumbled.

I wish I'd asked you before getting married!

"Son, you got married."

But never thought of your mother.

I am not complaining.

I had many dreams.

But man's dreams don't always come true.

But I am happy for you.

The villagers say my daughter-in-law is very pretty.

After all you are my son. Your choice can't be wrong.

Both of you came but I am so unfortunate I couldn't see her.

I wish I had wings so I could come to see you.

I had once told you I would quit working when you marry.

I have quit my job.

I have given charge to another teacher.

I am coming to you for 15 days.

To see your happy family. I'm coming to you for 15 days.

To see your happy family.

He is ready for the divorce but on one condition.

- What condition? - My mom is coming to see my wife.

She'll be here for 15 days.

Her only desire in life is to see me happily settled.

But it's not in my fate.

But I don't want to snatch her joys.

I'll sign the divorce papers and give them to barrister.

Your daughter will stay there till my mother is here.

The barrister will give you the paper when mother leaves.

Let me go!

You think I'm an actress to act for your mother?

Why should I bother? Have you given me anything but thorns?

Now you beg me for your mother's smiles!

Try to understand. It's to your benefit.

The one who considers love a deal cares not for benefit!

His chest holds a stone not a heart!

A curse from God!

He has come to torment him to death!

Go away from here!

Don't show me your face!

Are you fine?

Where is your wife? Hasn't she come?

Why are you silent? Why don't you speak?

What should I say? ls this all the luggage?

Don't change the topic. ls all well? ls your wife unwell?

Answer me!

Live long. Be happy.

What kind ofjoke is this?

- Teasing me. - I wanted to tease you.

You too supported him!

"All said and done, I'm really glad to see her."

"- Let's go. - Yes, come on."

Sign these divorce papers.

Finished!

"If that cannon comes, I'll die before death!"

- What cannon? - Your mother!

I think you're in love.

- So what? - Get yourself treated by another not me.

- I can't treat you. - Why? Am I not pretty?

You are as pretty as my thumb.

The target of your eyes is my thumb!

Find another target for the thumb!

- Why do you smile and talk to me? - Very good!

Smiling doesn't mean I hold your finger and you my hand!

She's held my hand! And is pressing it!

Dead meat!

What man? You said you'd marry me!

Me and marriage? Even my father never got married!

- You are lying! - Who is she?

First you answer me. He belongs to me.

"- No, he's mine. - Mine!"

- Mine! - Mine!

Am I your father's property that you're trying to share?

You'll have to decide whom you want!

"- Yes, answer! - Yes!"

Good God!

Saved my soul!

Let's go home.

What are you doing here so late in the night?

I had to finish some office work.

Fell asleep while working.

You're a fool! Turned your house into an office.

Your wife is waiting for you Will she sleep all alone?

- Go to her. - First listen to me.

- What is it? - The truth is..

I lie here when there is work.

So that Neeta is not disturbed.

Silly boy! Will she be troubled by your lying here or the light?

You're lucky to find such a simple and innocent wife.

"Had she been smart, she'd have fixed you!"

"Yes, she's very simple."

Doesn't take any offense.

I'm a woman. You don't know her better than me.

"Next time you do this, I'll be very angry!"

"She's so young. Come on, go to her."

- Get up! - First leave my ear.

I'll leave it in front of her.

Daughter-in-law.

Yes mother.

- Yes? - Come here.

What are you standing here for? Go in.

You've given him so much rein...

The signs are not healthy. Today he's sleeping in the hall.

Tomorrow he'll go elsewhere.

You must keep your husband in control.

Times are very bad.

I never let my husband take one step without me.

My son is a gem.

But he is a man.

And men change at the drop of a hat.

- Understood? - Yes. - Go.

Go away from here!

"If I go out, mother will find out."

I don't care but you can't sleep here!

I won't speak to you. I'll sleep quietly.

Nothing doing. Leave the room.

"Listen, I'll keep the pillow between us."

"Like this. You sleep there, I'll be here."

Wait!

- Do you hate me so much? - It's a sin to look at you!

I've come to this house out of helplessness not joy.

I'm repenting for the mistake I made in marrying you!

"If that be the case, I'll sleep in the balcony."

Shut the door from inside.

- My head is spinning. - And you want to go to work!

What's the matter? Got wet last night?

Ye...No! Just a cold.

Just a common cold. I'll send the medicines with my servant.

Rest today. You'll be fine soon.

That was the doctor's medicine.

But when somebody falls sick in our village..

We massage with mustard oil. Get the bottle from my room.

After the massage cover yourself with a blanket and go to sleep.

Soon you'll feel better.

- Here. - Why are you giving it to me?

Massage him well on the chest and his head.

- You rub it. - Why should I when your wife is here?

Rub it in.

It tickles"!

Wait!

You may sleep here. I'll go to the balcony.

You will find it difficult.

I'm not so delicate to start sneezing!

And I don't have the strength to massage you!

Couldn't help it. Mother was sitting in front.

I don't want to repeat it. Give it to me.

Shut the door from in.

Don't you dare come out!

I wish you could see

How much I love you!

Your wife is fasting today.

For your protection.

How will the poor thing last all day?

Wife fasts for one day and you appreciate it.

But no praise for the mother who has fasted for 20 years?

The mother is a mother but the wife is a wife!

She is the partner in joys and sorrows.

Forget it. Your better half won't eat grain till tomorrow.

Get some fruits for her. And return by 5 in the evening.

All right.

Neeta and fasts?

Wish it were true.

Bring the bride and the groom.

- Walk! - No!

I won't marry your daughter!

Then what is the meaning of meeting my daughter alone?

- She told me everything. - What did she tell you?

"You were loving her, not singing hymns."

- She is lying!_ - Why are you yelling?

- Where am I stuck! - Quiet!

I can neither complain nor express my anguish!

The butcher has his way! Sinner! Butcher! Cruel!

- I can't marry! - Why not?

Your Pop will get married!

"Wait, they can't get married."

He will marry my daughter not yours!

"Remove the flowers, witch!"

You've also come!

We want him as our son-in-law!

No fuss! Or one slap and you'll go back to where you came from!

Jerry can of oil! Who are you to hit my husband?

Bottle of kerosene! Don't you know who I am?

You don't know me!

- You...! - Hitting me?

Wait!

Don't fight like this. We'll print in the papers then fight.

- We'll earn good money. - You be quiet!

Now speak!

"Now speak. I've kept just one foot, the other will take you to hell!"

- Get him married to my girl. - Enjoying?

- Father! - Let's get married.

Come on she has a terrible temper!

- Wait! - Father!

- Just in time! - Just in time!

Did you send me a telegram for the wedding?

To stop the wedding not attend it!

Fooling me? It's been 2 years You sent no letters.

Nor inquired about your wife and kids!

Bholenath's mother! My baby!

- You've grown so big! - Wife?

And two kids too?

He told me he's a bachelor.

He told me also that he's a bachelor.

- You lied to both of them! - I did not.

A man who has one wife is always a bachelor.

What's going on? Out everyone!

- Come on everybody. - He's a cheat!

- My fees? - Get out!

I'll beat the daylights out of you!

"Leaving your wife in the village, you're getting married here!"

- It's a lie. - Then why did you leave her there and come here?

I came to the city because...

Because I wanted to follow family planning.

That can even be done staying with the wife!

What are you saying?

"Small family, happy family."

Use Nirodh. It's for men.

Fifteen paise for a pack of 3

There was no radio in our village then!

Wear these flowers!

May I come in?

- Amar is not at home. - I haven't come to see him.

I heard you had come so I came to see you.

- But I don't recognise you. - That's as you've never seen me.

"I'm Amar's friend, Prakash. We studied together in Nainital."

- Please take a seat. - No time to sit.

My work is on in full swing. I'll be in difficulty for 15 days.

- Can't see Neeta. - She's cooking.

"Cooking!!! Oh, cooking."

I'll go and meet her.

How the sky changes colour...

- ls this what they make you do? - You shouldn't have come here.

Major sent me to find out how you are.

- Tell them I'm fine. - Why did you put the stove off?

Three rotis. Who will eat?

- Only for me. - And Neeta? - She won't eat anything.

- She's fasting. - Fasting?

Great news! Her father will be thrilled to hear this.

Neeta keeps fasts!

- Will he really? - Oh yes!

He'll come running to meet you.

I wish he would. I haven't met him.

Soon you'll meet him. I must take leave.

Let him come. I'll show him!

I'd told him you're fasting and he must get the fruits at 5

It's almost 7 and no sign of him!

Don't be upset. I don't want anything.

"Wait, I'll see."

I'll welcome him properly!

- I'm hungry. Give me some dinner. - Why you came home?

Go back to where you came from!

Good heavens! Why are you so mad?

You were spared the rod as a child but now you'll get it!

"Take off your shoes if you want to beat me, I'll bow my head."

- But first tell me my fault. - Fault!

- What did I tell you in the morning? - In morning?!

To bring fruits.

That poor girl fasts for your health!

But the husband comes at 7!

Go and get the fruits.

Blessed are we!

Never give men too much rein.

Put a ring through their nose like a camel!

So you can turn them where you want.

Here! Temper cooled down?

"Sit there. Neeta, get a plate and a knife."

Here you are mother.

Sit with him.

What are you waiting for? Cut the fruits.

- Cut them? - Yes. - Then feed her.

"- I'll eat it myself. - No, he'll feed you."

Leave that. Give her a chick...

- Eat it. - Cut it.

It's soft. She'll bite it.

Bit me!

I pray that you always keep laughing like this.

Eat the fruits sir.

"Come, Prakash. Did you meet my son?"

I wish I hadn't gone. My heart weeps tears of blood!

- What happened? - What didn't happen?

- Amar and his mom make her cook! - Cook?

Yes and they eat but keep her hungry.

- What? - I asked why isn't Neeta eating?

The mother said she is fasting to purify her soul.

How dare they keep my daughter hungry!

Mahatma Gandhi was different He could fast for 40 or 50 days.

Neeta can't last 15 days!

What does she think of herself? I'll show her!

- But.. - Don't stop me.

Today only one of us will survive!

Bald pigeon! You stay in my neighbourhood and hit my son!

You wild pigeon! Why did your son ease my daughter?

I'd kill him if I could!

As if! I'd sacrifice you at the altar of my son!

Get lost you elephant! I don't want to fight with a witch!

Let my husband come! Then you'll see!

Such courage to show me!

Send his father too! I'll make mince of both!

"Go home, I'll come in a while!"

Spoilt the neighbourhood since she moved in here!

Always fighting! My name is not Phool if I don't have you out!

What times! The new tenant tells me..

I'm a hoodlum and quarrelsome!

Do you think I am?

"No, you're very nice."

The one calling you quarrelsome is a gangster herself!

So sweet! You're very smart.

- Who is it? - Roop aunt.

Very fresh. Where did you get it?

Amar brought it because she was fasting yesterday.

Have one.

- Why are you feeling shy? - I'm not.

It's my house. I eat whenever I come or go.

- Going somewhere? - Taking her to the temple.

- Then go. - But Amar is to come.

- If I shut the door... - Don't worry.

- I'll stay here. - Thanks.

- Don't mention it. - Come.

"- Go, it's getting late. - Keep an eye."

"I will, don't worry. Keep the door open!"

So I can hear my kids if they call out to me.

You are so merciful!

What do I eat?

It's bitter!

She's eating as if she hasn't eaten for years!

She eats but starves my daughter!

Is she deaf?

What? Did you call me deaf?

Your family must be deaf!

- Who are you? - Are you the boy's mother?

Yes but what do you want from my son?

Your son is uncivilised! He insulted my daughter!

"If your daughter is so proud, keep her at home!"

If she mixes with men this is bound to happen!

What are you staring at? Get lost!

You are worse than your son!

What? And you're worse than your daughter!

You shut up!

Football! Take the Lord's name and don't forget I'm a Major!

"If you're a Major, I'm a Colonel!"

Mess with me and I'll wring your neck!

I'll pull out your tongue if you don't talk decently!

"I'll skin you, stuff you with sawdust and hang you out to dry!"

- You'll rot there! - Quiet!

Speak loudly!

Now speak loudly!

You'll beat me?

What happened?

She's a terrible woman! Much worse than her son.

- How is Neeta? - I didn't see her.

- What are you looking for? - To see if servants are around.

- Nobody is around. - She hit me with a broom!

Is she a woman or a bull?

She's a bulldozer. It's not right to go before her.

She'll leave in a few days.

Then we'll take the divorce papers from the lawyer.

She'll get the divorce but what about Neeta?

Do you think I'm an idiot?

I've thought of that. Prakash still loves Neeta.

And he's ready to marry her.

I've asked him to bring his mother over so I can judge her.

- How are you? - I'm fine. And you?

- Did you meet Major sir? - I'm not lucky enough.

Not yet? You should have met him.

- Did he tell you? - He did mention to me.

But why didn't he come?

Doesn't matter. I'll take you there.

But I was going to the temple.

Go to God after meeting them. You'll enjoy it more.

- What happened? - Pricked by the needle.

Be careful. I'll just come.

- What are you doing? - What I should to.

I beg you not to take her.

A fight will ensue if she goes there.

- So be it. - Amar will throw a fight if he finds out.

Major hasn't called her. She's going on her own.

Now it depends on Major whether he is charitable to a guest"

- Or throws them out. - This is wrong.

What is wrong?

- Your going there. - So what?

Why should you go to meet Daddy when he didn't come here?

I should have gone to see him when I came here.

"Now that we're related, love must grow between us."

Daddy should have invited you!

Strangers are invited not family.

Your parents are like my brother and sister.

No harm in going to their house.

But I'm glad you care more for our honour than your own parents.

I'll go see them. Come on.

- Who is she? - The one you wanted to meet but couldn't.

I've brought her to meet you. Meet her. She is mother.

- I'm glad to meet you - Glad?

Even I wanted to meet you. Today Prakash made it come true.

How could we meet when you don't live here?

"By the way, I like your son a lot."

Even I like your daughter.

But now there's no difference. Your daughter is mine and my son yours.

I never knew you were so modern. Now I'm not at all worried.

What's wrong with you. Look after her. She is your in law.

To hell with that!

I hate this name!

She is my sister.

"Mother, not sister!"

Idiot! She maybe mother to you For me she is my sister.

We'll argue later. First tell me where is my sister?

"She left in the morning. Card party, marriage party."

Then religious party. She'll return by night.

- Is she so religious? - That's what ruins things!

Neither would there be a Ramleela nor would they meet nor this happen!

Nor would you meet mother!

Are you comparing her with that woman?

She is an angel and that witch!

Don't say that. Wherever there are dishes there will be a racket.

"You're talking of sound? Band, bugles everything was played!"

You've gone off tune again!

Come to the point!

Fine. Now that sister is here we'll talk leisurely over lunch.

Don't talk of lunch. I eat only after going to the temple.

You should have come here in peace after the temple.

"- If you would stay.. - Next time, it's my own house."

I had gone to Vaishnodevi. I've brought prasad for you.

- Have a bite. - Don't give it to him.

He suffers from diabetes. Doctor has put him off sweets.

This is prasad not a sweet. Nobody falls sick eating it.

In fact the sick get well. Eat this brother.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

The old wounds of life have again surfaced.

"When I was young, my sister would give me prasad just like this."

She died. And gradually I forgot her.

When you gave me the prasad I felt Savitri is sitting here.

Doesn't matter if she isn't here. I am.

Now think of me as Savitri.

"Here brother, eat it."

You have the same right that a sister has over her brother.

I have some work with Prakash My driver will see you home.

- Take her where she wants to go. - Come madam.

See you.

- You screwed it up! - What?

Do you know who she was?

"- Your mother. - No, Amar's mother!"

Amar's mother? Impossible.

If my mother is insulted"

Your father will pay for it! I won't spare him!

Where are you going? Do you know where I'd gone?

- To meet Neeta's parents. - What did they say?

We spoke a lot.

Now he's my brother.

- Brother? - What's so surprising?

Can't he become my brother?

You are really lucky to get such a good family!

He's a real angel.

Insisted I eat lunch. Then sent his car to drop me.

Were you going somewhere?

No.

Amar told me his mother is leaving tommorow.

You'll get the divorce papers after she leaves.

But before I give you the papers"

Both of you have to sign this declaration.

It says after divorce neither of you will have a right on the other.

You won't claim anything from each other.

I don't want you to besmirch each other later.

Sign this Amar.

You also sign it.

Yes mother?

I want to talk to you.

I'm leaving tomorrow. Let me see you properly.

You came and are leaving like a dream.

Your coming here seems like one chapter of life.

As if man loses everything after getting something.

Losing and gaining is part of life.

I've lost a lot in life.

I lost my husband soon after we were married.

But I got a new lease of life after Amar.

Today on seeing him settled I feel I've got everything.

May God always keep you happy.

And I get all your sorrows.

I want to give you everything before I leave.

- I don't follow. - Bring that box.

I'll explain.

I want to hand over charge to you.

- What charge? - Like the outgoing ministry gives the new one.

Similarly a mother-in-law hands over charge to the bride.

"One day my mother-in-law handed over the name, joys, wealth.."

"... property, everything to me."

And today I hand it to you.

I've transferred all the fields and orchards to your name.

Here are the papers.

- I won't take them! - Why?

This should be in your son's name.

That fool? He's very simple.

So far he did what his mother said.

Now he'll obey his wife.

"You are the wealth of this house. Our honour, name lies with you."

This belongs to it. Take it.

Feeling shy? I also did.

When my mother-in-law gave me charge.

And here are the jewels.

- Pardon? - I got them made for Amar's wife.

But I wasn't there for the wedding.

They are old fashioned.

I thought Amar's wife would be a villager.

I didn't know he'd bring such a pretty and educated wife!

"If you don't like them, you can melt them to your choice of design."

I didn't give you any wedding gift.

- Take this. - What is it?

A small gift from a poor mother-in-law.

This is not from your in laws.

They are my earnings. I've saved every penny.

I've deposited it in your name at the post office.

1701

I don't know what to say...

What I've done is my duty.

I'm not doing you a favour.

I have only one son. All that is mine is his.

And all that is his is yours.

And I love what my son loves.

I know he loves you a lot.

This is a memento of our elders.

My mother-in-law gave it to me and her mother-in-law gave her.

This is going on for generations.

Keep it carefully. Give it to your daughter-in-law in time.

And tell her to give it to her daughter-in-law.

And wear it on festivals.

A saint gave it.

Wearing it makes your husband be yours for all births to come.

I've said all I had to.

Now this house and its' honour and reputation..

...are in your hands.

Live long. May God bless you with my life too.

- You know when I'll return? - No.

When my grandson is born.

"Mother, the train is to leave."

Your father hasn't come.

Must have been busy.

May God keep you happy.

It's getting late!

You must go to your home at least twice a year.

And think about everything you do.

You are the mistress of the house.

And take care of my fool.

Okay son. Write to me about your welfare and hers.

Yes mother.

You can't be happy there.

Neither do your thoughts match nor your circumstances.

Both change with time.

Get out of my sight!

This is for taking over the portfolio of home.

Here are the divorce papers.

Use your head not your heart.

Soon the fire of love will die Then you'll fight for little things.

You'll want your way while he'll want his.

This is a memento of our elders.

It's been going on for generations.

Keep it carefully. Give it to your daughter-in-law when you hand charge.

And tell her to give it to her daughter-in-law.

You must wear it on festivals.

A saint gave it to us.

Wearing it will make your husband yours for many births.

I've said what I had to tell you.

The honour and reputation of our family is now in your hands.

Forgive me.

I should apologise. I insulted you in public.

You are going off track.

This main line is at fault.

Who shifted his engine of life from main to side line.

Man shouldn't forget his identity.

"Thanks to sister, my eyes are open!"

Today even I have realised.

I created the fight.

I poisoned their lives.

The sin I've committed by falling for a married woman...

I will atone for it.

- He too is in tune! - I'm your culprit.

Forgive me if possible.

Where are you going? Bless your sister first.

Be haPPV-

Brothers-in-law!
