(Mumbling Sound)

Murli!

I woke up before you spoke.

I woke up before you spoke.

Shall I take a nap for a couple of minutes?

I have seen 2000 people.

They turned 36 years old while taking a nap.

They are still napping.

I am making tea.

- Hail Lord Shiva! - You are not doing a favour on me.

What are you saying?

What?

You won't understand.

(Utensils Clinking)

Oh no!

Leave me alone. I want nothing from you.

You consume cannabis in the morning.

(Gibberish)

Uncle.

Wow, brother-in-law! Hail Goddess Lakshmi!

This customer is loaded.

Must have paid well.

Shall I cook chicken curry in the evening?

Get lost!

(Laughing)

(Utensils Clinking)

What is it? Why are you grumbling?

Tea powder has got over.

What about tea?

Brother in law, tea powder has got over!

My nephew says so.

Where is the aroma coming from if there is no tea powder?

(Sniffs)

From where?

(Sniffs)

(Sniffs)

- Uncle. - I can smell it.

Looks like it is on the stove.

(Birds Chirping)

Come on. Start.

Brother-in-law...

...since the aroma is wafting in, tea will also be served!

We are waiting!

But from where will you get tea?

From the grocer's shop!

But the shop is not open!

So?

Will you beg from someone?

I will beg!

Uncle, begging is not good! You...

We will ask for tea powder!

Son, borrowing from your neighbour is not begging!

What it is then, uncle?

In Banaras's language, it is called transaction!

(Footsteps)

And in English it is called...

- What is it called, brother-in-law? - What?

Forget it.

What is it called?

Nothing. What is it called?

Practicality of neighbours!

Practicality of neighbours!

Practicality of neighbours!

The neighbour will stand by practicality!

He will stand by it!

- Nibha! - Yes.

(Anklet Chimes)

Who will stand by?

She. Sister Nibha.

(Anklet Chimes)

Take this.

- What? - What?

Tea.

Yes.

(Utensils Clinking)

Why did you take the trouble?

Trouble? Making tea is not a trouble.

But uncle and nephew create a ruckus in the morning.

They create a din and it troubles me.

Three men live in the house...

...but can't marry and bring a woman in the house.

Shall I get married?

I am not talking about you.

Murli has grown up into a young man.

Why don't you get him married?

A house is just bricks and stones without a woman.

You are right.

How is it?

What?

Tea.

- (Slurping) - (Sighs)

Biscuits would have added to the enjoyment.

Shut up!

Beggar neighbours.

Return the cups after washing it.

(Anklet Chimes)

(Vehicle Passing By)

(Jewellery Tinkling)

Mother!

(Jewellery Tinkling)

Mother!

Yes?

Mummy!

What now?

My bag.

(Sighs)

It is here.

It's kept right in front of you.

- (Sighs) - (Footsteps)

This girl creates such a mess.

What will you do after you get married?

Who will you order around?

My mother-in-law.

Dear, a mother-in-law is like your mother.

She is not your mother.

(Anklet Chimes)

So I will take you with me.

What will you do if I am not around?

(Laughs)

(Kissing Sound)

I am leaving.

Do have breakfast.

The college has not only classrooms...

...but also a canteen.

I will eat there.

(Anklet Chimes)

(Anklet Chimes)

My pocket money?

(Sighs)

I don't have it.

Do one thing.

Take it from your father at the factory.

Hey! Wait a minute.

- (Birds Chirping) - (Anklet Chimes)

I forgot this.

Love you.

Bye, aunts.

Bye, Mehek.

(Anklet Chimes)

Bye, grandmother.

Aunt.

Ishu and Rakhi?

I just put them on the school bus.

And yes, your friend Titli is here.

Is she here?

- Bye, aunt. - Go carefully.

- (Footsteps) - (Anklet Chimes)

You take such a long time.

I am a girl, after all.

Give me the key.

(Keys Jingling)

Where do you want to go?

College or Godowlia Square?

First to see papa at the factory.

Then I will decide.

- To see papa? - Whether to attend class or to bunk.

Yes. Fine.

Hurry up.

Kamlesh, Banaras is my...

...canvas.

And these saris are my painting.

Papa!

- Mehek? - Uncle?

Mehek, how are you?

I am fine. Have you come to pick up aunt?

Yes. That's the intention.

But aunt is not in the mood to go to her in-laws' house.

Hey!

She loves her mother more than her mother-in-law.

(Laughs)

Naughty girl.

Pocket money.

Have you come to demand pocket money?

You should have taken it from your mother.

She does have 50-100 rupees.

(Anklet Chimes)

I want to buy a few books...

...pay the canteen bill...

...and reserve some cash for the scooter's puncture...

I got it. I got it.

- (Machine Whirring) - (Laughing)

By the way...

...your principal had called up.

He said that these days there is a shortfall in your attendance.

- What? - Yes.

No, papa. Last week a couple of times movie...

- Puncture... - Yes.

- Scooter... - I got it.

- Scooter... - Enough, enough. I got it.

Take this.

- Bye, papa. I love you. - Hey, Mehek!

- Did you see? - Let it be, brother.

Durlabh Prasad Sons Hair Salon

(Indistinct Chatter)

Uncle, are you cutting hair?

- Hey! What are you doing? - We cares for your hairs

(Horn Honks)

(Clatter)

Uncle, keep working.

(Horn Honks)

Son...

...you grab and take away so much cash.

To earn it, I have to dupe 10-20 people.

Do you have a wife waiting for you at home?

What are you saying?

Uncle said that your tummy is upset.

Your uncle is crazy.

What for?

I wanted to fill petrol in the bike, father.

People who get petrol filled go to work.

I will feel good if you earn Rs.500 after filling petrol.

Father, my intention is not to earn 500 rupees.

My intention is to earn fame.

You will be known in Banaras by my name.

When you will walk on the road, people will recognize you.

When you will walk like this with a gait, people will say...

"Murli's papa. Murli's papa."

Hey! Murli's papa.

(Footsteps)

Please give me some cash.

- Take 100 rupees. - 100...

It's enough. Buy 1 litre milk with this.

Tomatoes have also got over.

Yes. Half kilo tomatoes.

This is the only cash...

Listen. On the way...

Do you want me to buy half of Banaras with this?

Hail Lord Shiva!

(Oil Sizzling Sound)

Piping hot 'Paratha'! Eat.

- Eat, father. - Eat?

- Uncle. - How do I eat?

Today I am fasting and he is serving me food.

Father, the 'Paratha' is for you.

And here is the pickle.

Paratha and pickle make a great combination.

If you separate them, it's like the river Ganga with no water.

Are you going to eat with your eyes?

- No, no. - Hold it.

- Let it go in your tummy. - Eat.

Eat.

- (Utensils Clinking) - (Birds Chirping)

(Chair Creaking)

- Father. - Yes?

I wanted to talk to you.

I am facing a grave dilemma.

What?

Have you ever...

...even for a moment...

...felt it for someone?

Felt what?

Love.

Romance.

(Coughing)

Affection.

What's this?

He feeds me 'Paratha' and talks about love.

Hail Lord Shiva.

Oh, God!

Mister, the temple is in the next lane.

Put up a board to that effect.

(Footsteps)

Temples come up where I stand.

Murali Prasad...

Dadda (Father) has called you.

What are you saying? His grandfather died 20 years ago.

How can he call him now?

No, no. 19 years, not 20 years.

It was my father who died. I remember.

It's been 20 years.

Hey!

Dadda (Father), not Dada (Grandfather).

Mr. Brij Narayan Bharti.

Brij Narayan Bharti?

Famous businessman of this city.

And future MLA.

I see.

He wants a haircut.

Then say so. I mean...

...forget him.

He nicks the ear instead of cutting hair.

Take this one along. That one cannot even hold a razor.

Okay. You go.

Where?

Okay. Where is the kit bag?

Hey!

The kit bag...

I will check your bag later...

...when I kidnap you.

Today it is Murali's turn.

- Murali's father is here. Why... - Father.

They are prominent people.

Perhaps they will employ me.

Right, uncle?

Give me the plaid scarf.

The scarf. The scarf.

Check the 'Paratha'.

It might get burnt. It is on the griddle.

(Footsteps)

Kidnap me.

Have you made the arrangements?

How are we going?

I have a horse ready for you outside.

Well, boy?

Horse riding.

How are we going?

(Footsteps)

Uncle, 'Paratha' is on the griddle. Check it.

(Footsteps)

(Footsteps)

Sir!

(Footsteps)

Where is he?

He is here.

Come forward.

Hello.

Hey, mother!

Hey, Shanti!

Look at your daughter's choice.

With whom is she roaming?

She is studying commerce.

Look at her choice.

(Birds Chirping)

Bermuda.

T-shirt.

Not T-shirt. Vest.

(Birds Chirping)

You still haven't progressed to pyjamas and shirt.

Sir, I wear this at home.

That's how I am.

(Birds Chirping)

Look at me.

Henceforth...

...you won't roam with my daughter.

Got it?

Why are you scolding him?

Isn't it your daughter's fault?

Mother...

...I don't know whose fault it is.

I just don't like this.

- (Birds Chirping) - Okay, fine.

You have talked a lot. You may leave.

- But mother... - I will talk to him.

Okay then, explain to him.

Tell him.

(Birds Chirping)

Couldn't you have brought him to the factory?

Sir, I thought you are at home. So I brought him here.

Come, son.

Forgive me, grandmother.

Had I known there would be so many ladies at home...

- ...I would have dressed up properly. - Hey!

- Sit on the chair. - On the chair?

Had I known that you all... I would have dressed up nicely.

What is your name?

Murli.

Murli Durlabh Prasad.

What is your education?

Grandmother, I am a graduate.

And what do you do?

My father owns a salon.

- Salon? - Yes.

Are you a barber? A hairdresser?

No, no.

I am a hair-cutter.

What is it called in English?

A hairstylist.

But you cut hair, right?

- Will a barber cut shrubs instead of hair? - (Laughs)

Who all are there in your family?

Myself, my father and my maternal uncle.

We are three members.

(Birds Chirping)

Mother?

(Birds Chirping)

(Anklet Chimes)

She died.

Who does the household chores in your house?

Yes.

Who cooks meals?

I make breakfast in the morning.

Later my father cooks food and my maternal uncle helps him.

And the three of us look after each other.

So there is no woman in your house?

(Bangles Clinking)

Sister, did you hear?

There is no woman in his house.

If she gets married...

...they will make Mehek do all the work that his family does.

Mother.

I like Murli.

Oh! Mehek.

(Bangles Clinking)

Son...

...you may go.

We will inform you later.

(Gasps)

Okay. Anyway, it's not urgent.

Let me know your decision.

- Grandmother, bless me. - Bless you.

Do come again.

It's my own house now. I will keep visiting.

- (Bangles Clinking) - (Receding Footsteps)

(Bangles Clinking)

He is not an unsuitable boy.

Yes, yes.

Mother-in-law...

...you know your granddaughter.

She doesn't even pick up her own towel.

It is good, sister.

There is no woman in the house.

At least she will be spared criticism.

And as for the chores...

...she will do them if no one else does, right?

And you have seen in our house...

...how mother-in-law and sisters-in-law are.

No, no.

I am not in favour of forming an alliance with the family...

...that doesn't have any female member.

In future, if she has a personal problem...

...who will she consult?

The men?

He is not picking up the phone.

Did he give you a call?

- No. He didn't call me. - He is not picking up the phone.

That's wrong. Children go out and do not pick up the phone.

- Try again. - I am trying.

- (Horn Honks) - (Footsteps)

Father...

...you are waiting for my phone call...

...while I have brought you good news.

Did you get a job?

Not a job, uncle.

I have got a girl.

- Oh? - Oh?

Brij Narayan Bharti...

...the famous businessman of the city...

...and future MLA's...

...son-in-law is right here.

Won't you welcome me?

I will slap you and welcome you.

Brother-in-law.

- What? - One minute.

He doesn't have a job and he is getting a wife.

Emperor Shahjahan...

...your prince Salim has found his Anarkali.

Hear that.

And do you know what her father has said?

That he wants to see me as his son-in-law...

...and the two of you as his relatives.

Emperor, eat sweets and distribute it...

...among your courtiers too.

Sweets.

I am thinking...

(Clearing Throat)

...of leaving the shop and doing something on my own.

Things are not the same anymore.

Get lost!

(Footsteps)

Useless fellow!

Father, treat me with respect. With respect.

Someday the street will be named after me, just wait and see.

(Footsteps)

Idiot.

Did he give good news or bad news?

(Temple Bell)

- (Gasps) - (Footsteps)

(Sighs)

- (Sighs) - (Gasps)

- (Temple Bell) - (Gasps)

I climbed the stairs from the riverbank.

(Gasps)

So I am out of breath.

- (Sighs) - (Gasps)

Wait for two minutes before giving me the good news.

You see...

...my heartbeats will become abnormal...

...if you give me the good news immediately.

There is bad news.

Yes. Cholesterol is bad news.

Actually, I shouldn't be panting at this age.

- After marriage I will... - There will be no marriage.

(Laughing)

(Birds Chirping)

Don't laugh, Murli.

I am not joking.

(Birds Chirping)

Why?

Because that day I came to your house in Bermuda shorts and vest?

I didn't know they would pick me up from my house.

I was making 'Parathas' for my father.

Because there is no woman in your house.

There is no woman?

Am I not marrying you?

There will be a woman in the house when you are there.

What's the big deal? Are you confident that you will come?

- It will be good if you come... - (Gasps)

(Birds Chirping)

- Look. - Yes.

My mother has said...

...that in future if there is a personal problem...

...will I consult your father?

Are you marrying my father?

You are marrying me. You will tell me.

Do you know anything about menstrual cycle? - (Temple Bell)

What cycle?

After marriage I will directly buy a car.

What?

Will we make our children roam in the heat?

We will put them in the car's backseat, in the AC...

PMS. Periods.

Class A? I know.

7 to 9.9 to 11.11 to...

That's why.

My family members were right.

There are innumerable things. There are so many problems.

Forget the marriage.

So how will I get a woman?

(Anklet Chimes)

(Temple Bells)

- Manchu. - Yes? - (Temple Bells)

...Ask Tarre.

What?

Will Brij Narayan marry off his daughter in our family or not?

(Crickets Chirping)

He won't.

Who spoke? Who spoke?

- I didn't speak. - So who spoke?

Who?

(Crickets Chirping)

Oh!

- (Crickets Chirping) - (Thud)

What did you say?

He won't marry off his daughter?

(Crickets Chirping)

There must be some reason for refusing the alliance.

There must be some reason.

Nothing gets done in our house without a reason.

In the morning he dreams about Salim and Anarkali.

At night the dream gets shattered.

What's this?

They won't marry off their daughter into a family...

...where there is no female member.

What did you say? What did you say?

What did you say?

(Crickets Chirping)

What did you say? Repeat it.

They won't marry off their daughter into a family...

...where there is no female member.

How absurd!

Oh! How absurd!

From where do we get a woman? Didn't you ask?

You should have said that your mother died.

That your uncle has an afflicted Mars in his horoscope.

- Whenever he marries, his wife... - She dies.

So?

How will we get a woman? You are our only hope.

Should I go and tell everybody?

Had your mother been alive, she would have talked to them.

But now?

(Water Sloshing)

I will have to do it.

Careful. You will fall down.

- Father, our factory's sari's design. - (Birds Chirping)

Hey, kids. Be careful.

Are you taking care of quality control?

Of course, sir.

You can check.

(Vehicle Approaching)

Hasina, serve tea to me too!

- I will serve it right away! - Mother-in-law.

- Turn it off. - (Engine Revving)

...Murli didn't tell me how to turn it off.

How to do it?

(Engine Revving)

Who are they?

(Birds Chirping)

I have seen them somewhere.

(Birds Chirping)

He is Murli's father.

Who is Murli?

The boy I brought here the other day.

(Birds Chirping)

Hail Lord Shiva!

(Footsteps)

I am the father of the boy you have chosen for your daughter.

Durlabh Prasad.

(Birds Chirping)

I am his maternal uncle.

Ram Manch Prasad. Manchu.

(Birds Chirping)

Sit, brother-in-law.

That's okay.

But why are you here?

No. We had come to take away our daughter-in-law.

But you have put forth a stipulation which has confused us.

You have said that there is no woman in the house.

No. I mean there are women in your house, but not in our house.

But...

Mehek won't go to the house...

...where there is no woman.

(Birds Chirping)

This is the decision of our family's women.

(Birds Chirping)

Deal with them.

- (Birds Chirping) - (Footsteps Receding)

(Birds Chirping)

Did you eat anything?

No.

So eat something on your way back.

- Munna. - Yes, master.

(Birds Chirping)

♪ Your memories are tangy like spicy street chaat. ♪

♪ Your memories are like the sacred Ganga Ghats. ♪

♪ Let me fall asleep by the riverbank… ♪

♪ And at dawn, come to me, veiled in your traditional veil. ♪

He went to sleep while listening to music.

(Song Playing On Radio)

Abusive words were hurled at us over there...

...and here this idiot is dreaming of the girl.

- (Song Playing On Radio) - (Thud)

What did prince Salim say?

(Utensils Clinking)

That Anarkali's father...

(Song Playing On Radio)

...wants to see me as his son-in-law...

...and you as his relative.

To hell with such son-in-law and relatives.

They didn't even offer us water.

Did they even ask us to sit...

...leave alone offer water?

The prominent people, the businessmen don't have any etiquettes.

Idiots.

Tell the one who is listening to forget her.

(Birds Chirping)

What do you mean?

To stop thinking and talking about Mehek.

Is it that easy?

Will I forget if you tell me?

Yes, forget it. Forget Mehek. It's all in vain.

But father, I love her.

Yes. So?

So...

Should we abduct her?

Should we kidnap her from her home?

What did her father say?

Mehek won't go to the house where there is no woman.

This is the decision of our family's women.

Women are taking all the decisions.

Different women, different ideas.

Does Brij Narayan command any respect in that house?

Forget about respect.

I don't want it.

How do we bring a woman in this house?

Steal or abduct one. Bring one somehow.

You are my father. I was born in your house.

- Hey! - Brother-in-law.

What nonsense you are talking?

He has raised you so lovingly. Okay?

Wasn't it fake love, uncle?

What is the use if you cannot do this small thing...

...for the sake of my love?

Listen carefully.

I won't live in the house...

...where Mehek doesn't live.

Murli. Murli, let us sit and talk. Listen.

Let him go.

Brother-in-law, he is angry. He might harm himself.

(Temple Bell)

He didn't say anything wrong.

What he said was right.

How come he is right?

Why would Brij Narayan marry off his daughter in a family...

...that has only male members?

Is there a father who would marry off his daughter...

...in a family having no mother-in-law and no sisters-in-law?

If you had a daughter...

...would you accept such an alliance for her?

Tell me.

(Horn Honks)

It happened because of you.

- What is my fault? - It is your fault.

(Horn Honks)

(Temple Bell)

Had you begot a sister for Murli...

...Mehek would have got a sister-in-law.

If you had remarried after my sister's death...

...she would have got a stepmother-in-law.

But no.

You turned into a celibate.

Devotee of Lord Hanuman.

- (Crickets Chirping) - (Footsteps)

- Woman! Woman! From where do I get a woman? - (Crickets Chirping)

From where do I get a woman?

(Crickets Chirping)

If it was about getting a sari...

...I would have gone to a silk sari shop and bought one.

I have that status. But from where do I get a woman?

Get a woman.

(Crickets Chirping)

Get married.

What?

(Crickets Chirping)

Get married.

What are you saying?

I am not saying it.

So?

My sister is saying it.

From where did your sister appear?

Well?

No, sister! Sister, no!

Sister, no! Sister! Sister!

- Sister! - I am explaining to him! - Who is there?

Who is there?

Sister.

Sister! Sister, no! Sister, no!

Sister, no! I will convince him. I will convince him.

What happened?

Sister is looking at us angrily.

Brother-in-law, she is very angry.

She is saying...

"Manchu...

...a son-in-law is like a dog in his in-laws' house..."

"...and a brother is like a dog in his sister's house."

"You are a dog!"

What have you done to my house?

And to Murli?

What is she saying about Murli?

Murali has become despaired.

(Crickets Chirping)

What else is your sister saying about Murli?

(Shoes Scraping On Floor)

What is she saying?

Ruination.

Ruination.

Ruination.

Is she saying ruination?

Yes.

Murli's mother?

She is saying...

...that this house...

(Crickets Chirping)

...was already without a woman.

(Crickets Chirping)

Now it will be without a son as well.

(Crickets Chirping)

That's what she is saying.

Did you really see your sister?

(Crickets Chirping)

No, no. She is there. She is there.

Ask her the solution. The solution.

What should we do?

Where do we go?

- Sister. - Solution.

Sister is saying, get married.

Okay, Trilottama...

...I will get married.

Tell her.

Sure?

Yes. Trilottama, I will get married.

Where is your sister?

Is she here?

Sister went away.

- She is gone? - Yes.

Sister is gone.

Sister...

...my brother-in-law says that he will get married!

Well done, uncle.

Now I will marry off my father in a grand manner...

...with jubilant dancing.

- "Stealing glances at you." - Tell me, Murli.

- "I am elated." - Tell me.

Murli.

First let me control my happiness.

Sit. Sit.

I am getting my father married.

What?

Yes. This month I will search for a bride.

Next month I will get him married. And the next month you will be in my house.

(Laughing)

(Gasps)

What nonsense are you talking?

It's not nonsense. I am telling the truth.

Have you gone crazy?

What should I do? Tell me.

Hadn't your father specified that he won't accept this alliance...

...until there is a woman in my family? That he won't get us married?

Is there any other way?

Won't I have to get my father married?

You have gone crazy.

Which son would get his father married so that he can marry?

(Laughs)

Why are you laughing? Is a farce going on over here?

A farce is going on.

(Gasps)

This man wants to get his father married.

Do you think it will happen?

Who will marry him?

There must be some widow or divorcee...

...or an unmarried woman in entire Banaras.

It's not that everybody in Banaras is married.

This is not a joke.

Do whatever you wish.

I regret falling in love with you.

None of my dreams seem to come true.

You have turned this into a joke.

Titli, let us go.

(Footsteps)

Mehek.

Mehek!

Murali isn't doing anything wrong.

How will a woman enter the house if he doesn't marry off his father?

And why cannot the marriage take place?

People are marrying at the age of 70 and 80 years. Right?

He too will marry.

Don't defend him.

I was supporting you.

Anyway, don't worry. He will manage everything.

Sir, take a look at this.

This boy is studying medicine.

And his father is a district collector.

They will treat your daughter like a queen.

(Laughing)

Hail Lord. Hail Lord.

(Footsteps)

For whom are you checking out a groom?

For whom? He is a priest. He carries around photos.

He is a matchmaker.

He goes around showing girls' photos to prospective grooms' families...

...and boys' photos to prospective brides' families.

You too can see.

- Nothing wrong in checking it out. - Papa...

...Murli is marrying off his father.

What?

Yes.

Durlabh Prasad is remarrying.

Mother, did you hear?

Durlabh barber is preparing to marry in old age...

...in order to become our relative.

Say something using your experiences.

Offer some advice.

Why are you telling me to make comments?

I wanted to see my granddaughter's marriage...

...in the third phase of my life.

But now, it doesn't seem possible.

(Birds Chirping)

Dear, do you think.

Durlabh will be able to remarry?

(Birds Chirping)

What if it happens?

Then?

Then I will get you married to Murli.

But...

...if he cannot remarry...

...then I will marry you off to a guy of my choice.

(Jewellery Tinkling)

Hail Lord Shiva!

(Jewellery Tinkling)

(Hand Drum Rattling)

- (Phone Ringing) - (Hand Drum Rattling)

Hello.

- Murli! - Yes, tell me.

Papa has said that if your father manages to remarry...

...he will conduct our marriage.

We were worrying unnecessarily.

(Hand Drum Rattling)

Wow!

- (Hand Drum Rattling) - (Laughing)

Baba!

(Hand Drum Rattling)

- Priest, we need a girl for marriage. - Yes.

I will find a girl. No big deal.

You will have to find one?

Don't you have a girl ready with you?

Have I opened a shop of brides?

Or have I set up a factory manufacturing brides?

What kind of a girl do you want?

What kind?

Any...

- With a graceful gait. - Yes.

- With a graceful gait. - Yes, yes.

- Soft-spoken. - I see.

- Doe-eyes. - Yes.

Or beautiful.

Priest, we don't want a branded woman.

Any ordinary woman will do.

By the way...

...which one of you is the groom?

Priest. Priest, my father is the groom.

- Yes. - Look.

If you are his son...

...no matter how young your father was when he got married...

...his age must be above 40-45 years.

No, no.

- He is above 50-55 years. - Yes.

- Is he above 50-55 years? - Yes.

So?

Then it is pointless.

- What? - What do you mean?

- Throw him in river Ganga. - Hey!

Uncle, let us go.

Is your father a relative of Tatas and Birlas?

Priest, we will do it ourselves. We will find one ourselves.

- Yes. Find one yourself. Go. - Let's go.

Take a look.

What kind of a girl are you looking for?

Doe-eyes...

...soft-spoken, having a graceful walk...

- Sir? - Yes?

How many girls are you looking for?

Only one.

Sir, one girl won't have all the attributes.

Uncle, I will remain unmarried if you start seeing attributes.

Priest...

- (Gibberish) - (Temple Bell)

We just want a woman.

Anyone will do. Just find one.

Yes. Fill in the form. I will do it.

- Will you do it? - Yes, yes.

Write it.

Tell me something.

Why are you putting an ad in the newspaper?

What do you mean?

Get a complaint published.

How much...

Will the complaint reach to people?

We don't want it to reach to people.

What do you mean?

- We want it to reach to women. - To women.

Why didn't you marry when you were young?

- Me? - Yes.

Forget about me. I have afflicted Mars in my horoscope.

It's seriously unfavourable.

I was married off to trees, but they too dried up.

Really?

I was married off to a dog and a cat. They too died.

Really?

So why are you sitting here as a groom?

Do you want someone's daughter to die?

I am not sitting here for my sake.

- I am representing my brother-in-law. - Yes.

Shameless man.

Don't you feel ashamed to find a bride...

...for your sister's husband?

- Get up. - Let us go.

Hey, listen!

My sister died long ago!

My brother-in-law is a widower! A widower!

We will give dowry!

- Father is all set to get married. - Durlabh Prasad...

Are you married?

Hey!

Do I look old?

I will marry if I find a suitable boy.

Consider that you have found one.

You have found one.

Do you have his photo?

Of course.

Look over there.

Photos of three generations are lined up over there.

The one in the corner...

...is your future husband.

He?

- Yes. - He is old enough to be my father.

But there is no option.

Hey, listen! I...

Hey! The other foot's pedicure is still remaining.

Madam!

Son, place it on his head, not on mine.

Give it to me. Hurry up.

Murli!

Hey!

Uncle, I will just be back.

Mehek, it's good that you came here.

I was about to come to see you.

We have received so many applications...

...that it is difficult to select.

Shut up.

(Indistinct Chatter)

Priests, newspapers, public pamphlets, grooms' fair...

...you tried everything, right?

Why are you shouting?

Didn't you say this?

Mehek, it's not that everybody in Banaras is married!

- Speak softly. - Where is your unmarried...

- ...widow or divorcee? - Why are you shouting?

Where is she?

(Thud)

You won't be able to marry off your father...

...and no woman will come to your house.

Now my father will marry me off to the guy of his choice.

I will go away.

You can find someone else.

I will weep and go.

- What do I do? - What can you do?

Murli, shall I tell you something?

First go and spit out the betel leaf.

I didn't chew betel leaf today.

Murli, listen.

There is an app called Finder.

We will make uncle's profile.

What?

You can swap women of all ages like wife, aunt, girlfriend.

It is swipe, not swap.

Yes, that's the word.

(Laughs)

Mehek, there is hope. I will find one.

Don't fold your hands.

- (Vehicle Passing By) - (Phone Ringing)

- (Vehicle Passing By) - (Phone Ringing)

- Murli. - Yes, Mehek.

I have created your father's profile on Finder.

Yes.

It matches with them.

Yes, yes.

I am sending a profile on WhatsApp.

Uncle, charge the tea to my father's account.

Father! Uncle!

I have found mother!

- Found mother? - Father, I have found mother!

Whose mother did you find?

- Whose mother did you find? - Mine.

Oh!

- You found her? - Yes.

(Laughing)

- That's great, brother-in-law. - Get ready.

Whose mother?

You had told me, brother-in-law.

When? Why? To whom?

This is wrong, brother-in-law.

You shouldn't go back on your word.

Father, you had said it. I was standing at the back.

- I also heard you. - What nonsense are you talking?

I am not talking nonsense.

You had told me. Don't deny it. Come on.

Why should I go? I am from the groom's side.

Tell mother to come here to meet me.

Yes. He is right.

My name is Chandravati.

In Banaras people fearfully call me Chandro.

Return the money that I have demanded.

Or else I will hit you and split your head.

Listen. A client has come.

I will talk to them and then call you.

- Can you see the stool? - Yes.

- Sit. - Yes.

Sit.

Greet her.

- Hello. - Yes.

Both are blind.

Yes.

Check it.

- (Thud) - (Horn Honks)

(Whistling)

Why are you waving? I can see. Sit.

Where is mother?

I mean where is the bride?

You also cannot see?

She is somewhere here.

She is nice. Nice.

Which one of you is the groom?

Groom?

You?

No. He is not the groom.

He is the groom's brother-in-law. My maternal uncle.

Yes. All three of us live together.

You?

No. I am not the groom. I am the groom's son.

So who is the groom?

"Father..."

What is your name?

- Murli. - Manchu.

The groom?

Vardan.

Vardan?

(Phone Ringing)

Do you want to die early?

Hang up.

Come on.

Sister-in-law does social work too.

And she will continue to do it after marriage.

For example?

Cleaning the drains.

Locking down the police station.

Catching stray dogs and getting them neutered.

Enough.

Sister-in-law never likes to hear her praises.

So did you see me?

What do you think about me?

- (Horn Honks) - (Vehicle Passing By)

Brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law...

...please forgive me.

We had a narrow escape.

It happened because of him.

- Because of me? - Of course.

- Mehek told me. - Keep quiet.

Don't explain.

(Traffic Ambience)

Brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law. Please say something.

What do I say? Who listens to me?

First I got married as per my father's wish.

Now I have to marry as per my son's wish.

It is my fate to become a groom.

Hey, brother!

Hey, brother! Stop. Stop.

- Brother-in-law. - Brother-in-law, listen. - Hey, Uncle! Stop.

(Traffic Ambience)

My marriage won't take place.

You want a beauty for my father, but not Mehek for me.

Should I get your father hitched with a she-devil...

...because you want to get married?

- She-devil? - I mean the gangster girl.

(Temple Bell)

My life is in a mess and you are ringing the bell.

Lord Hanuman, if my horoscope...

...predicts second marriage...

...please send a cultured, sensible...

...educated, beautiful...

...talented...

...woman in my life.

Lord, please pay heed or else I will be stuck with the wrong person.

She is beautiful.

Yes.

And how is her hair? Long?

A bit longer.

Exactly like Mahima Chaudhary.

That's it. Brother-in-law...

I knew that after my sister's demise...

You live under security.

You are looking good.

Thank you.

- You also look like a hero. - (Laughing)

...Would you like to smoke?

No. I quit smoking.

- You quit smoking? - Yes.

Wow!

I am unable to quit.

I will make you quit.

Hadn't you shifted to America?

So what is all this?

Since past 4-5 years I felt like returning...

...and doing something fantastic.

So I came back.

I see.

This is my NGO.

- NGO means? - Mine.

I mean, I teach the children you saw.

Everything for free.

Good.

And you?

You didn't leave Banaras.

- Banaras doesn't leave me. - (Birds Chirping)

Old?

He is of marriageable age.

What are you saying?

Really?

Have you found a girl?

There is a girl.

What do you mean by there is a girl?

I mean... let us go and have tea.

The same one at Mishra's stall.

Yes. That stall has become a swanky place.

To mother.

Take her to a park, make her sit on a bench and say it gently.

I should add 'happy' to it before saying it? - Yes.

What will you say?

Happy Veltantine.

It will happen as per God's wish.

Gently, son.

Brother-in-law, if you are stuck and unable to speak...

...put this in your mouth.

(Sniffs)

Such a wonderful fragrance!

(Birds Chirping)

Yes. We are in a park. It's the fragrance of the flowers.

Idiot! It's coming from you.

From me?

Yes.

Today is Valtintine.

So my son sprayed it on me.

(Laughs)

Valentine.

Yes. Whatever.

You look dashing.

You look like Durlabh today.

You also look like Kali in red.

- Huh? - Goddess Kali.

(Birds Chirping)

You are dapperly dressed.

My son helped me.

He said, "Papa...

...you look like the tradition of modern and fusion."

A fusion of modern and tradition.

Yes. Whatever.

(Gasps)

Is this the same coat?

(Birds Chirping)

Yes.

You had gifted it to me on my 25th birthday.

(Bangles Clinking)

- Don't do this. Please. Please... - (Laughs)

Why have you worn it with the price tag intact?

It's for Rs.299.

- Remove it. - I wanted to keep it the way...

...you had gifted it.

- Don't remove it. Don't remove it. - Why?

No. No.

This is the only thing I have of yours.

Okay.

The tailor has stitched it beautifully.

Yes. And the place where his shop was...

- Yes. - A hospital has come up there.

That place wasn't so big.

It's a small hospital.

Do you have a matchstick?

- Matchstick? - Yes.

I will bring it.

Yes. Bring it.

(Footsteps)

Hold on.

What happened?

Yesterday you told me...

...that you have quit smoking.

I had vowed to quit smoking cigarette.

Yes.

This is 'Bidi'.

I got it from Dubey while leaving.

Yes. Gradually it will be hookah, chillum.

No. Please go.

No. No.

Lord Mahadev, burn all cigarettes and bidis once and for all.

- Come on. - They are romancing.

Yes, bro.

- Come. Let's see. - Let's go.

What?

What happened?

What are you doing?

You are romancing in a public place.

I am not doing anything wrong. We are celebrating Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day.

What is Valentine's Day?

I have heard about Monday and Tuesday.

But Valentine's Day...

What else? These are just excuses to get intimate.

It's not mentioned in the Hindu calendar.

Get off me. Get off me.

You are getting angry.

- What did I say? - What are you doing?

The Hindu calendar says you should respect your culture and tradition.

Leave him. We are going to marry.

He will conduct the marriage.

Mohan, conduct his marriage as per the ritual.

Do a thorough job.

What are you doing?

Guardians.

Can I get matchstick? Do you have matchstick?

(Footsteps)

Do you see the old man's style?

What? Why do you want matchstick?

Will you smoke in the park?

Do you see this, Shankar?

- Yes. - Yes.

I used to think that only the youths are denigrating...

...our culture and tradition.

But here, this uncle...

Great!

He is sucking a lollipop.

What will you do with the matchstick?

- What? - Incense.

What?

Incense stick.

Incense stick.

Yes. I want to light the incense stick.

Where is the incense stick?

Show me.

- Show it. - Show the incense stick.

Incense stick, come here.

Incense stick?

She is my incense stick.

I want to set her ablaze.

Sometimes she goes to America.

Sometimes London.

Sometimes Nepal. Sometimes France.

She is my incense stick.

What happened?

You are not lighting the incense stick.

You are celebrating Valentine's Day.

Not Valentine's Day.

'Basant Panchami'.

- 'Basant Panchami'. - Yes.

Can you please shed light on it?

'Basant Panchami' means the fifth day of spring season.

The season of love, affection and nature.

It's the season when trees are laden with flowers.

And fields are lush and green.

Bees and butterflies hover over flowers and buds.

On this day we worship Rati and Lord Kamadev.

Kamadev.

That's what Kamadev does.

What these boys are doing in the park.

It's one and the same thing.

It's not the same thing.

There is a difference in their dates and traits.

Valentine's Day is about hugs and kisses.

That's modern culture.

'Basant Panchami' is a celebration of love.

Do you have a girlfriend? A lover?

No.

Go and sit under the trees.

Hang out.

You understand?

Yes.

- Did you understand? - Yeah. Yeah.

Do you understand? Am I right?

Since you are speaking, finish it.

Yes. So let me smoke.

Do you smoke?

Yes.

Do you have matchstick?

I have a lighter.

Yes.

You light it.

My first 'Bidi'.

(Laughs)

It's musical.

Happy 'Basant Panchami'.

Yes. 'Basant Panchami'.

- Happy 'Basant Panchami'. - Okay.

- Lovingly. - Guardians.

- Yes. - Shall we go, guardians?

- Okay. - Go.

The guardians are saying we can leave.

(Laughs)

- Look here. - Yes.

Did you make the video?

Bro, I made the entire video.

Yes. Give it the title of 'Basant' with 'Panchami'.

Yes.

And make it viral.

Absolutely, bro.

Everybody should gain this knowledge.

Yes. Come on.

'Not Valentine's Day.'

'Basant Panchami.'

'Basant Panchami means the fifth day of spring season.'

'The season of love, affection and nature.'

'It's the season when trees are laden with flowers.'

Oh my!

- 'And fields are lush and green.' - No age barrier.

No barriers at all.

Why are you reciting a pathetic verse?

Forget that, uncle. Watch this.

Your brother-in-law.

It looks like a young bud is blooming on an ancient branch.

Shut up. Go and do your work. Come on. Get lost.

Scoundrel.

'And fields are lush and green.'

'Bees and butterflies hover over...

...'flowers and buds.' - Nice bro.

Sir, watch this.

'Not Valentine's Day.'

'Basant Panchami.'

I think Durlabh's son will ensure that Durlabh gets married again.

'Affection and nature.'

'It's about hugs and kisses.'

'Do you have a girlfriend? A lover?'

'Do you understand? Am I right?'

'Yes. So let me smoke.'

'Do you smoke?'

'Do you have matchstick?'

'And fields are lush and green.'

'Bees and butterflies hover over flowers and buds.'

'On this day we worship...'

Mom, give me the phone.

I want to play games. Please.

Mom, isn't he that Bullet bike uncle?

You don't know multiplication table. But you remember his face.

Play the game.

What is this?

They are celebrating Valentine's Day.

Absolutely no consideration of age. Look.

I am watching, sister.

But it's really amazing.

'Basant Panchami means the fifth day of spring season.'

'The season of love, affection and nature.'

'Youths all over the country were celebrating Valentine's Day.'

'But recently a video has gone viral.'

'It's about barber Durlabh and his lover Babita Singh.'

'They are celebrating not Valentine's Day, but Basant Panchami.'

'Yes. So let me smoke.'

'Do you smoke?'

- 'Do you have matchstick?' - (Anklet Chimes)

'Yes.'

(Anklet Chimes)

'You light it.'

'My first Bidi.'

(Laughs)

(Footsteps)

Hello.

Come. Come, Durlabh Prasad and sons.

(Anklet Chimes)

What happened?

Did you find a woman?

We have come to give you the good news, sir.

Sister-in-law.

Sister-in-law Shanti, have sweetmeats.

No.

It's from Vishwanath's shop. It's made of pure clarified butter.

- Here. - Sir...

...with your and Lord Mahadev's blessing...

...brother-in-law found a woman fortuitously.

Here.

She came late, but she is just perfect.

Eat sweetmeats made of pure clarified butter.

Get lost!

Shameless fellow.

(Anklet Chimes)

(Anklet Chimes)

I told you to get a woman.

Will you bring just anyone?

You are also getting your daughter married to just anyone.

To him.

I mean, in this house...

...hair-cutter...

...wood-cutter...

- ...craftsman... - Keep quiet.

I am talking.

How can I keep quiet?

Sister-in-law, I am the son-in-law of this family.

I am her uncle.

She drinks.

She smokes.

And at Godowlia Square wonder...

...what all things she does with rogue boys.

Brother...

...from where do we bring an ascetic woman?

Sister-in-law, we have found her with great difficulty.

So?

Will you bring anybody as our relative?

No. Not anybody.

She is my acquaintance. I like her.

- Yes. - My family likes her.

I don't like her.

Now another woman won't come in that house.

I am ready to get my daughter married to you.

But you...

...will stay away from that woman.

What do you say?

Can we get our daughter married into a family...

...that doesn't have a female member?

(Birds Chirping)

Mother.

Do it.

Do it.

It would have been good if there had been a lady.

Provided there had been a lady.

They brought a cheap woman.

She is not a cheap woman.

Enough.

Enough.

- Father... - What?

First he says to bring a woman.

And then, he says don't bring a woman.

- Let's sit and talk. - Sit and talk?

Did he ever tell us to sit?

Uncle.

Uncle... one minute.

- Come here. - You...

Just take father from here.

Please, father.

When he is ready, why are you spoiling the matter?

(Footsteps)

Sir.

I give you the guarantee.

There won't be any woman in our house.

For sure.

(Birds Chirping)

He is my father.

I know him very well.

I know him.

He is not interested in any woman.

Aunt, my mother died 25 years ago.

Since then he has not even glanced at a woman's photo.

I am telling you. I swear.

You said you will get your daughter married to me...

...if there is a woman in my house.

So we both father and son started searching.

We don't have any such intention.

You said there won't be any woman. So there won't be. For sure.

I give you the guarantee.

Fine.

Bless me.

Hey! Carefully.

Grandma, give me that blessing.

May you prosper and have several sons!

That blessing is given to women.

So give it to Mehek. Come down.

May you prosper and have several sons!

I have brought Vishwanath's sweetmeats for you. Please eat it.

- Yes. - Vishwanath's sweetmeats.

- Fine. - Bye.

Have you gone mad?

Aunt, people are harassing me with their congratulatory messages.

The phone keeps ringing all day long.

- Your father-in-law's call. - Father-in-law's call.

Put it on speaker. Silence. Silence.

It's my father-in-law's call. It's my father-in-law's call.

Kids, silence.

Father-in-law, will you also congratulate me?

I am getting married to your daughter. Give me your blessings.

I am calling off the marriage.

What happened, father-in-law?

It's my turmeric ceremony.

Go and wash off the turmeric paste in the Ganges.

I told you that your father should stay away from that woman.

But he didn't listen.

He is meeting her secretly in her house.

I have sent you the video on WhatsApp.

Watch it.

(Birds Chirping)

This is the bioscope of Romeo-Juliet...

...who are romancing everywhere.

Brij Narayan didn't like it at all.

He called me two minutes ago.

He has cancelled the marriage.

He said to wash off the turmeric paste in the Ganges.

Brij Narayan said he will conduct the marriage provided you don't meet Babita.

But no.

You want to do as you please. You want to romance.

Don't you want me to marry and settle down and have children?

Don't you want to become a grandfather?

Hey!

Uncle, spare me.

My marriage got cancelled because of his love affair.

Wait and watch.

One day she will destroy our home and shop too.

She is such an unlucky woman.

Wherever she goes, she will wreak devastation.

Babita means devastation. Devastation means Babita.

- (Birds Chirping) - (Horn Honks)

What, brother-in-law?

What was the need to do that?

When everything was going smoothly, why did you...

Murli.

(Birds Chirping)

(Vehicle Passing By)

(Vehicle Passing By)

(Knock On The Door)

Who is it? The door is open.

(Door Open)

Murli.

Come.

You have come at the right time.

Yes. Go. Go and worship Ganga.

I will also become a hermit...

...and sit at the riverbank...

...and do incantations.

What happened?

What happened?

Didn't you find out?

My marriage has been called off because of you and father.

That's what has happened.

Because of me?

Which other Babita is there...

...whom Brij Narayan doesn't want to see with my father?

Look.

See this.

Look.

He left early morning.

After spending the night at your place.

Hey!

You are sitting here.

I called you up so many times.

You are smoking.

(Crickets Chirping)

Great!

I cannot smoke. I have quit smoking.

(Crickets Chirping)

What happened?

(Crickets Chirping)

There are problems in my son's marriage.

Why?

- (Crickets Chirping) - (Gasps)

(Temple Bell)

Murli loves a girl...

(Crickets Chirping)

...and wants to marry her.

(Crickets Chirping)

But her family is against the match.

(Crickets Chirping)

Why?

(Crickets Chirping)

Because there is no female member in our family.

How absurd!

- (Crickets Chirping) - (Gasps)

That's why...

...my son is trying to get me married to just anyone.

If he has his way, he will get me married to a cow.

(Crickets Chirping)

Babita, we have reunited.

(Crickets Chirping)

We have grown closer.

(Crickets Chirping)

What's the problem in that?

I don't have a problem.

(Crickets Chirping)

The girl's father has a problem.

Why?

Because of Basant Panchami's viral video.

(Crickets Chirping)

He says I shouldn't meet you.

(Crickets Chirping)

Otherwise he will get his daughter married to somebody else.

And you?

What do you want?

(Crickets Chirping)

(Bangles Clinking)

Earlier because of your father...

...and now because of your son.

(Crickets Chirping)

We won't meet.

(Bangles Clinking)

(Footsteps)

Will you send me the wedding card?

(Crickets Chirping)

Or will you wait for someone's order?

(Door Close)

- (Crickets Chirping) - (Footsteps)

You knew father from before?

(Crickets Chirping)

But father never told me anything about you.

(Crickets Chirping)

What's the point in knowing about it?

It's our present and not our past...

...that's creating problems in your marriage.

And we have decided that we won't meet.

- (Crickets Chirping) - (Footsteps)

Were both of you going to marry?

(Crickets Chirping)

Why didn't both of you marry?

(Crickets Chirping)

So you want to marry her and go to America.

Son, do one thing. Take the salon also to America.

You are leaving me.

It's better you conduct your parents' funeral too.

Father.

You are crossing the line.

- I am going to start a family. - I will slap you hard.

You are leaving your family to start another family.

How can she be loyal to you...

...when she is separating a father from his son after marriage?

Durlabh.

I have chosen a girl for you.

Whether you want it or not...

...but I will get you married to her.

That's the hurdle we faced.

(Crickets Chirping)

(Crickets Chirping)

And I don't think we...

...tried hard enough.

(Crickets Chirping)

I returned after so many years and saw...

...that both of us are leading a lonely life.

(Crickets Chirping)

(Footsteps)

'What do you want to do?'

'Take a decision.'

'This is the bioscope of Romeo-Juliet...'

'...who are romancing everywhere.'

'Brij Narayan didn't like it at all.'

'Brij Narayan said he will conduct the marriage...'

'...provided you don't meet Babita.'

'Don't you want to become a grandfather?'

'If a wretched woman like Babita enters someone's life... '

'...she will wreak devastation.'

'Babita means devastation. Devastation means Babita.'

Where are you going all decked up?

You have called off the marriage.

Which new ritual are you going to announce now?

Mother, I prohibited what I disliked.

If they don't reform, the alliance will obviously break.

Papa.

So Mehek won't get married.

Why not?

She will marry. On the same day.

But the groom will be different, mother.

So change the groom.

(Footsteps)

(Anklet Chimes)

Change the groom.

If you think that by cancelling the marriage...

...you will force my father not to meet Babita...

...and thus you will reform him...

...then you are mistaken.

Because now, I won't let him reform.

Sir...

...I swear on Lord Mahadev.

I will marry only after I get my father married to Babita...

...whom you despise.

(Music Overlap On Dialogues)

He is saying neither yes nor no for the marriage.

He has put us in a dilemma.

(Footsteps)

You have put up the board.

The shop is closed for a week for your son's wedding.

It's useless.

I had put it up.

I will remove it.

Nothing will be removed.

(Footsteps)

It will be the way it is.

(Birds Chirping)

What do you mean?

(Birds Chirping)

Father...

(Birds Chirping)

I am sorry for yesterday.

And now...

...the marriage will take place.

The groom's father will be the groom.

Hear his nonsense.

- Just sit. - Listen.

- One moment. - I have come to talk to you.

Just hear him out.

Say.

I had gone to Brij Narayan's house.

I told him.

I will marry only after I get you married to Babita madam.

What nonsense is he talking?

I am not talking nonsense. I am speaking the truth.

I met Babita madam.

I heard everything.

You will marry her.

I am going to her place with your marriage proposal.

Hey!

I am sorry for yesterday.

You are also blessing him. Stop him.

He is crazy. He will speak rubbish over there.

Let him go, brother-in-law.

He is going for a good deed. No point in stopping him.

(Engine Revving)

(Vehicle Passing By)

So tell me. How many names do you have?

Kritika. Meethi.

Sweety.

Mishtu. Mitthu.

I will call you Mitthu.

Okay?

Close your eyes. Close your eyes. Close your eyes.

That's it.

The pain doesn't vanish by hiding the wound, Babita madam.

(Gasps)

I have seen the wound.

And I can feel it too.

Dear, you can go.

- (Horn Honks) - (Chair Creaking)

You told me how much you...

...and father like each other.

(Gasps)

(Gasps)

I went to Mehek's house today.

I told her father clearly.

It doesn't make any difference to me whether Mehek and I marry or not.

But I will definitely get you and father married.

(Gasps)

Murli, sit.

I have not come here to sit.

Murli, sit.

I know. I will sit and you will persuade me...

- ...with your sweet talks. - No. - Murali, sit.

Sit.

(Gasps)

(Sniffs)

(Chair Creaking)

Is it necessary to marry the person you love?

No.

It's not necessary.

So?

But companionship is important.

Whether it entails marriage or not.

But companionship is important.

(Gasps)

I never saw my mother.

(Sobbing)

I don't know...

...how it feels when your mother caresses you in the morning after you wake up.

I never ate my mother's food.

I don't know what my mother would have said on seeing me.

Don't wear this. Don't wear that.

I do whatever I want.

Whenever I return home in the evening...

...there is nobody waiting for me.

My life is very bleak.

(Sobbing)

Please come in my life...

...and make it better, Babita madam.

(Sobbing)

I see my mother in you.

(Sniffs)

I will wait for your consent.

(Singing Hymns)

Sir, check this.

This boy is well-accomplished...

...and the horoscopes match perfectly.

And most importantly...

...he is ready to marry on the same date.

- Fine. - Okay.

Will you just get the details of the boy and his family...

...or will you ask your daughter's preferences too?

So what should I do?

Go and fall at Murli's feet?

And tell him that my daughter loves you. Please marry her.

Should I beg to him?

- That's not what I said. - Hello.

Mr. Brij Narayan.

Hello.

Oh! Welcome, welcome, Ms. Babita.

I thought by now you must have got married to barber Durlabh.

But you have come here.

Are you more worried about my marriage than about your daughter?

Mr. Brij Narayan, you have made me a villain...

...in what you did with the children.

It feels as if I am responsible for all this.

Yes.

You are responsible.

Mr. Brij Narayan...

...you suspect my character because of certain things.

It may be wrong in your opinion.

I don't think it is wrong.

It's possible that I am hurt because of that.

I feel hurt.

Nobody else feels hurt.

And Babita is not just what you watched in the video.

Babita is someone more than that.

Who is Babita?

She is courageous.

She is hard-working.

She worked hard and became someone all by herself.

I got a scholarship here and went to America.

All these years I worked there and earned money...

...and I returned to my city...

...and I am helping our people.

I teach poor children.

I want them to become CA, engineer and doctor.

I have no home or in-laws.

But you...

...watched one video and defamed my character.

(Birds Chirping)

Hear that.

Look.

You don't want her to become your daughter's mother-in-law.

(Birds Chirping)

Dear...

...I am telling you to marry Durlabh.

Babita...

...my motherly affection had forced me...

...to let my daughter remain a daughter.

I had forgotten...

...that a mother and daughter stay together...

...only in the parental home.

Please listen to my mother-in-law.

Why?

Do you still want a mother-in-law for your daughter?

Since Murli and Mehek have struggled so much...

...to be with each other...

...they will face life's challenges also together.

And go and look at those three.

They are so nice.

They will treat your daughter very lovingly.

She will live there very happily.

Why don't you marry Durlabh and live with him?

I don't want to marry.

Why?

You are still stuck there.

Let me take the decision about my life.

You should think about the children.

I will take a leave.

Bye, Mehek.

Bye, aunt.

- (Bangles Clinking) - (Footsteps)

(Singing Hymns)

The flower vendor said that you gave him a torn note of Rs.500.

Brother-in-law, he doesn't deserve to be paid anything.

He had supplied stale flowers.

He is showing the torn currency note to everybody.

Dishonest fellow.

He charges money, but doesn't supply good material.

Brother-in-law...

...look who is here.

Who is it?

Mehek.

Yes, Mehek.

Why are you here? What's the matter?

Babita had come to our place.

I see.

Really?

So?

My father liked her very much.

Her father liked Babita?

So?

He is ready for the marriage.

Oh, no! All my life I struggled and she is marrying her father!

Don't misunderstand.

He has no objection to your marriage with Babita.

- I see. - Your marriage with Babita.

May what you say come true!

- But there is a problem. - What?

What is the problem?

Mehek, what happened?

Speak frankly.

Yes, dear.

Babita doesn't want to marry you.

Why?

That is what I asked.

What did she say?

She got angry and she left.

Oh, God! Why does it all happen with my innocent heart.

No, no. Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry, brother-in-law.

We were doing it for the children's sake.

- Right? - Yes.

These two will get married. There will be celebration in the house.

He hasn't objected to your marriage, has he?

There is no hurdle in their marriage.

There is a hurdle in my marriage.

- Her papa has agreed. - Yes.

Didn't he say it in front of you?

He said it. But...

- Now what? - But?

What did he say?

Your son Murli.

What did he do?

He said he won't marry me unless you and Babita get married.

Oh man! Why is my life so difficult?

Why have you become adamant?

Father, it's final. I have given my word.

I won't back off.

Who will he marry? Tell me. Who will he marry?

The woman he wanted to marry has refused.

Should he marry a camel or a donkey or a tree? Tell me.

You are blabbering a lot.

He is...

(Sniffs)

What do I do?

You tell me. What do I do?

There is a solution.

- What? - There is a solution.

You will go and talk to Babita.

Go and talk to her once.

- Please. For our sake. - Yes, brother-in-law.

Go and talk to her. She will agree.

- She will agree? - Yes.

(Birds Chirping)

- (Birds Chirping) - (Footsteps)

You have come.

You have come to say...

...what Murli said.

Yes. I mean...

You are right.

After meeting you, Brij Narayan has agreed for our marriage.

That's a good thing.

Have you brought the marriage proposal?

Yes.

What did you think?

Babita will hold your hand and come with you.

25 years ago your father said you won't marry me.

You agreed.

25 years later Brij Narayan said

he won't get his daughter married if you marry me.

You agreed.

And now, Murli and Brij Narayan want you to marry me.

So you agreed.

What is this?

Whether we marry or get married...

...who will decide that?

People?

Or both of us?

If you marry me on people's saying...

...you can even leave me on people's saying.

What are you saying?

How can I leave you?

You know.

Those who decide on other's saying don't have any decision of their own.

I loved you.

I wanted to marry you.

Durlabh Prasad.

Mathematics of love is very strange.

If one of the two goes away, there is nothing left.

(Sniffs)

What do you mean?

What did I get?

Neither a home nor a family nor love nor your company.

(Sobbing)

Since 25 years...

Whether you are running away or I am chasing you.

I don't understand that.

I started an NGO.

I became everybody's support.

But I don't have anyone's support.

- Don't say that. - I am all alone.

Babita, I am there.

Leave it.

Look at me.

(Birds Chirping)

- (Bangles Clinking) - (Sobbing)

Do you know something?

Love is not...

...when you give your heart to someone for the first time.

I think...

...love is when you break somebody's heart for the first time.

What rubbish!

Yes. And I have broken your heart.

- Do you know something? - What?

Why is the ring put on this finger?

Why?

Because it's directly connected to the heart.
