Shakti?

You were saying that we'll be given a grand welcome at the station

But over here no one has turned up!

Just wait, madam

This is Joshpura Village

Not only is this village unique but so are its people

Young master, young master, greetings

We all welcome you here

Hey, why did you stop? Continue playing

Shaktil Hey, Shakti

Brother

Stop!

Brother, you have started drinking in the morning itself

You see, I was so overjoyed at your arrival that...

That I couldn't resist myself, so I just had a little

Shakti, who is she?

She is Anita

Anita, meet my elder brother

Hello

You know, I had written to you about her

Hey, what the...?

You have kept such long hair, just like girls

Brother, this is today's style It's the in-thing. Punk style

Could be the petrol-pump

Okay, enough. Keep the bags in the car

Shall we make a move?

Oh no! Dad has asked me to get the fertiliser on the way back

You go ahead, I won't be long

Keep the bags in the back Yeah, that's it

Give me the keys, I'll drive

When I'm here, why should you drive?

After five years I'm getting to drive in my country...

I feel great

You'd drive?

Okay, tell me one thing

Who is this tall lady accompanying you?

She's your sister-in-law To-be sister-in-law

You got married in London?

Didn't you hear? TO-BE sister-in-law

I was afraid that we had missed the marriage festivities and the sweets

C'mon, get in the car

Grandpa, grandpa, uncle is here

Mom, come quick, uncle has come

Welcome

My respects to you, father

God bless you, son

Sister-in-law

I hope you have explained everything to dad

Who is she?

Uh, she used to be my class mate in college

She's Anita, my... sister-in-law must have mentioned

What?

Hey! It's okay There's no need for all this

C'mon, children

Fire crackers

Dad, sister-in-law beats me

Improve yourself, Pinto

Your uncle has given his son such a grand welcome as if...

...he is a soldier returning from the border after winning the war

Damn it!

Dad, when one has amassed too much wealth...

they feel the itch to squander it away

And that is why your elder brother is setting fire to his money

Setting fire to anything is against the law

And I can prove this in the court of law

It's only that, I don't remember under which clause

Why, you've started getting hiccups!

Definitely somebody is missing you

Those who used to miss me are all dead

And those who are alive...

...keep thinking of the ways to kill me

Are you my wife or my enemy?

Go send the younger wife

It's me who cleans up your filth the whole day long

And listen to your foul language

And at sunset you start missing the younger wife!

Try telling HER to clean up your dirt Then you'll know

Queen of the house, please come down

Your husband is calling you

As such, keeping two wives is not a problem

Keeping them both under the same roof is a heroic feat

God knows how is it that you tackle them both!

And that too, alone! Huh'?

I am not called "Thakur" for nothing

Undoubtedly you're from the Thakur clan

And we can very well have this fact certified in the court

It's just that I don't remember the right clause

Why are there so many mosquitoes here?

The girl who has come with you...

Careful, children, otherwise you'll slip

Yeah, where is she from in India?

She's from Ludhiana

But her father has been settled in London since 20 years

I had written all about her to sister-in-law

That's okay Did you get to meet Narendra?

I met him at the station

He said, you had asked him to buy the fertiliser. He won't be long

Not fertiliser, he may have gone to get liquor

He drinks during day time?

For a drunkard, day or night don't make any difference

Listen, this evening the whole village is going to get together...

...for your welcome

Make sure that you are not late

Okay, dad

And yes, Shakti

Tell that girl to dress up properly for the occasion

Okay, dad

Dad, Anita is here

Anita is here

Take a seat

I will eat later with the other women of the household

You don't need to do behave like the other women

No! You are our guest. Please sit down

Dad, you were speaking about the land adjoining the dam

Yeah. Some agricultural people from Faraaz had been here

You know, they are called some...

Horticulturists

Yeah, those people

They have advised to harvest grapes on this land

They said, this way the income of our farmers would be doubled

Al this, I told them that my son had gone to London for further studies

And upon his return, he will make all the decisions

They were quite astonished when they heard this

They thought...

"How can a son of an illiterate farmer go to London for studies?"

As for myself, I felt full of pride when I spoke of you

So son, now the reins of this village are in your hand

And allow me to retire

But, Dad, I...

Yes, go on. I am listening

I have planned on doing something else

What?

I have thought of starting a chain of fast-food restaurants

What?

Restaurants

Where people come to eat

Huh! A tea-stall?

This is not a respectable business

These days in cities it is a very big business

My dear, it may be in cities But no one honours it in villages

Besides, of what use will it be to our village people?

I don't plan on starting it in a village

Where then?

In big cities like, Jaipur, Delhi, Agra You know those kind of places

Oh! I see

Then you have thought of leaving this village...

And settling in the city, huh?

But tell me

However on earth did you think of this weird business?

Anita's dad has this business in London

He gave me this idea

Is he aware that she has come here with you?

As a matter of fact he himself asked her to come along

Strange family!

Dad, Anita's family is quite well-known and respectable

Her grandfather even participated in this country's freedom fight

At present they own a factory in Ludhiana

Her uncle runs it

Now that you know so much about her family

I suppose you'd also have had the horoscopes matched?

And perhaps you have also fixed the date of the marriage?

Dad, could you please...

Have you come here to get my permission or just to inform me?

I was hoping that you wouldn't refuse

As a matter of fact, I had explained it all to sister-in-law

Oh! I see. Even she knows it all!

So you have come here just to tell me of your decision

What did you finally decide?

To wash my hands off!

Shakti?

Yeah

Today your dad really bombarded you

Now what?

In fact I hadn't put it past him

It's not that I can't convince him, question is how!

Yeah, he seems to be a real tough guy

Yeah but, however tough he seems from the outside

He is really soft-hearted

You know, after my mother passed away

It was he who raised me and my brother

Hey! I didn't realise we're coming this side of the village

Whose house is this?

My Uncle's

I've come here after a very long time

Who's it?

Auntie, it's me. Shakti

Did you recognise me?

Shakti dear, Is that you?

Yes, auntie, my respects to you

God bless you

How are you, son?

By your blessings quite well

Shut up. Don't bark

How did you reach here. By plane?

Who is this young lad here accompanying you?

It's not a lad, auntie, it's a lass

She's my friend

Her name's Anita

Is that right?

God bless you both

Who is it at the door?

Nobody. There's no one here

Then why is the dog barking?

It's barking 'cause he is hungry

There's no need to shout

You go, son

Don't stay. Leave as fast as you can

Hey, Shakti, why have you come here?

Listen. Offer them something

C'mon, go

Oh, god!

Mom, Shakti has taken all my sweets!

Don't shout

Big mother is hitting me! Why did you hit me on the head?

Would you get me a new brain if it is damaged?

Uncle cannot bear to see me here

But auntie loves me a great deal

Then why did she repeatedly ask you to leave?

Otherwise uncle would have turned her out instead

Uncle thinks our family is his enemy

Why ever so?

The same as the story of Pandavas and Kauravas

Brothers, and yet enemies!

Did you take my photo, madam?

Shouldn't she?

Greetings, young master

You may. Take as many as you like

Shakti, what's this?

That is Rangoli

It's beautiful

It's art in everyday life

There is a strange smell around here

Ohl Could be the powder that I have applied on my face

It's rather pungent stinking smell

Stinking?

Oh yeah, perhaps from my head You know, I have applied neem oil

Even you should apply Then you won't get any lice in your hair

Honestly!

By the way, what is your name?

Didn't you recognise me?

It's me, Gehna

Remember in childhood when you used to learn stick-waving

And one day you hit my nose

Oh yes. I remember

The one who always had a running nose

So you are Mr. Naraindas's daughter Right?

Yes, yes

How's your father?

Young master, I'm quite well, yet

But if Birju Thakur's men see you in my house he will have my skin peeled

Why would that be?

In an enmity between two kings the people suffer eventually

You see, my father used to carry wood for Birju Thakur

We have been obeying him ever since He wouldn't like you to be here

I understand You needn't say a word more, uncle

Let's go, Anita

Hey, Shakti. That's cool!

What?

Those people there. With the sticks

You want to take their pictures?

Come on

Young master, young master

Easy, easy, relax

Why are going that side?

You see, Anita wanted to take some photographs

Forget the snaps otherwise we'll be snapped

Don't you know that these are Bali Thakur's farms?

Come Shakti Thakur

Do you wish to take photographs?

Go ahead. Take the pictures

Do you remember? In childhood we all used to do stick-waving

Yeah, I remember very well

Would you like to try a hand or two again?

Absolutely not. Master, don't fall in for his sweet talk

He just wants an excuse to create a row

Hey, you keep quiet

There's nothing to fear

We won't actually fight We'll just play about sportingly

It's not a question of fear, I have got some important work

Oh I see. You don't wish to lose your honour in front of a girl

Send her away after she has taken the photos

Then we'd show you our stick manouvers and also give you chance

Hey! Don't you know who are you talking to?

Okay, he's asked for it Let's try a hand or two

No, sire. Have trust in what I am saying and let's make a move

Surkhiya, one shouldn't leave a sports ground without playing

That's the spirit But, would you be playing in pants?

Surkhiya, can I have your dhoti?

What are you saying, young master! There are children around

Yes, you heard me

Young master, it's a question of my...

Are you giving or shall I give it a tug?

It's not the length that matters, it is one's own strength

It seems that even after so many years at it you're still no good

Keep practising well every day

He deserved it. Now please give me back my dhotie

Young master, are you badly hurt?

Hey why did you attack from the back? We'll show you...

In a man's sport one is bound to get hurt

If you don't wish to get hurt, you may play with this madam

Alta boy! Hit him

This is the temple of our family deity

You mean, this is your Family-temple?

Yeah

Yes, yes the very same The tempo, tempo

Forget about the temple. It's just as it was when you had seen before

Come let's go elsewhere

You're weird. I have to visit it

If that's the case we can even see it from here

Wow it looks great The goddess looks so calm and divine

It's been long time since I've asked for goddess blessings

We bow to you, mother goddess Brother Shakti is here

What? You're blessing him from there Very good. Please do

Hey! Where are you off to?

Open the door. C'mon open the door

How can I open the door, young master?

Don't you see these two locks!

Big lock from elder Thakur and small lock from the younger

What does that indicate?

Five years before a row broke out between the two brothers

They were at each other like dogs during the village assembly

Cursing, swearing, stick-fight and what not!

And the cause was the ownership of this temple

They couldn't come to any decision, but instead locked the goddess in

Poor god has to pay for the deeds of humans

Shall we go?

Yeah, you go and bring the keys from dad

Keys? Father can give the key for one lock. But the other?

Do anything you want, but please have this door opened

Tell me to do anything else but not about opening this door

What? You can't even accomplish this much!

You used to boast about, laying your life for my sake

I sure can do that. But this temple thing is very complicated

Don't give me any excuses

I was an idiot to tell Anita...

Our village people can lay their lives but wouldn't go back on their word

You've truly let me down

But sire, try to...

Don't ever speak to me

All right. Give me a minute

If it's a serious problem why don't we just forget about it

How can we forget it, darling?

It is imperative that you visit it

Why is that?

Because we'd be married here

Really?! Then I must see it

Young master would you kindly come this side and stand here

Facing the other way. Yeah that's it

Don't just stand here!

Go and visit it quick And that too like an express train

Anita, we'll be married here

There would be a holy-fire place in the centre

What?

Holy-fire place. Dad will spank me one day because of you

The place where the holy fire will be lit

Around it we'd move seven times

And vow to be ever together

I'll have some flowery dreams of the future

...and some veiled dreams in your eyes!

What are you thinking about?

Nothing. I don't want to go

Then don't. I never asked you to

The point is that I have to Dad must be expecting me

I feel like crying

Even I feel the same

But this strange combination of moustache and beard keeps me

Very funny!

Oh god! Damn it!

How the hell are we going close this

I will miss you, Shakii

Even I'll miss you

When would you come?

I will come soon. It's just that I'd have to be with dad for 10-20 days

20 days?!

I mean, let's say 10 days I'd have to try and persuade him

And fly to you as soon as I obtain his permission

Okay, now can I kiss you?

Shakti?

Er, you see, we were trying to close the suitcase

Father has called for you

In fact we both were about to come down

Just you

Dad has called me downstairs

Anita, not now

Just coming

Shakti?

Coming, dad

Father, you called for me

Had you been to the temple?

Yes, father

Why?

You see, I wanted Anita to have the blessings of family deity

That is why you had the locks broken

In fact I'd just asked Surkhiya to bring the keys

I didn't know that he'd be breaking the locks

So you were present there when he broke the locks?

Yes, father

Dad, aren't we allowed to visit our own family-temple?

I do admit that it was a mistake on my part, but...

Great! You have really obliged me by admitting your mistake

Manager?

Yes, master

Send a message to those people saying that

There's no need to make a big issue

If they wish I'll publicly apologise in the village assembly

I mean, why should you...?

You keep quiet.

It's on because of your stupidity that this has happened

Are you aware that your...

Yes?

I'm leaving

I'm going to my hometown

Regarding the temple, you need not...

We'll talk about the temple later

Manager, where is Surkhiya

Surkhiya wouldn't come today

You go and see her off

Young master, don't go by the main road

Otherwise I would have to take a long route

Didn't you hear what he said?

Would you lose respect if you take the long route?

Young master, stop the car

Please don't go by this road

Take the other route which goes across the bridge

Would someone tell me what the problem is?

The thing is that we set fire to the houses of Bali Thakur's men

So they have been laying in to take revenge

Set fire! Why did we commit such a despicable act?

How could we not do anything!

When just because of the temple locks...

their men cut off Surkhiya's hand!

Cut off his hand! Where is he now?

In the hospital. He has lost a lot of blood. But he'll live

Please leave as quick as you can

Hurry

C'mon get in the car

What's happening, Shakti?

God knows when would human beings learn to live in harmony!

Come on. Get on the train

Shakti, Take care, and don't get involved in any problems

Yes, yes

I love you

Bye

Bye

Take care

Bye, Take care

Bye

Oh, god!

Greetings, sire. Please come

Surkhiya, Hey Surkhiya Look! Young master has come

There is nothing to worry Your dad had just been here

He told the doctors that Surkhiya is one of his most trusted employees

And that, no stone should be left unturned in the treatment

I'll slash that rogue. Won't leave him, let me get my hands on that...

Young master, please lift me a bit

Don't get up. Please don't get up

I am really apologetic, young master

Because of that bastard I couldn't come to help you see off the madam

He attacked me from behind as soon as I left my house, and cut my hand off

I wasn't going to let him off that easily. I ran after him

But by that time I had lost so much blood that...

I hope, madam was able to make it in time to the station

Surkhiya, it was my mistake I am really very sorry

Young master, please don't say like this

I hadn't even contemplated that 'cause of me your life would be ruined

You needn't worry at all I'll see to that gangster Jaswant

Who's Jaswant?

He is Bali Thakur's right-hand man

My hand has been cut off by his blade

Have we filed a report with the police?

We never get into these police affairs

In this village justice is handed out either by god or local assembly

Just see how their houses were burnt This is gods' justice

This is not gods' justice. It's purely the doing of these people here

Cool! You are quite a detective to have known the secret news

Shut up. You guys should be ashamed

Behaving like animals and then rolling in laughter

Are we humans or animals?

Officer, what is all this happening?

Can't the police do something?

What can the police do without any witness?

The victim himself says that his hand was cut off in an accident

The arson victims say that the cause was a kitchen stove

Not one victim, not one convict can be pinpointed here

Sometimes I really wish for a transfer to other place

Just file the report

Shakti

Come here

Had you been to the hospital?

Yes, father

Did you see how expensive a visit to the temple can be?

By now you'd have realised what all is going on here

It was a big mistake on my part

And before anything like this happens again, I better leave

You should think about how to resolve this dispute

Instead you are thinking of leaving Aren't you being a coward?

Dad, I see no courage in taking each other' lives for small matters

Only animals, not humans would fight and shed blood over trivial issues

The people who you call animals encapsulates your father too

From that point of view even I should be...

But this is not something that one should be proud of

Besides, it's not worth wasting my education in a village...

...which is running 200 years behind time

Yes, we are backward. True 200 or 500 years doesn't matter

But tell me one thing...

If people who have tolerated slavery and poverty since time immaterial...

...behave like animals, one shouldn't be surprised

You are educated

Try to understand their difficulties

Try to find a way to change their way of thinking

It would take a lot of time, father

Which you are not prepared to spare for them

I may die before I achieve any result

Then may death come

How can you talk of dying in front of your father?

Is this what your education has taught you?

You were barely a year old when your mother died

I raised you as best as I could Worked day and night

I myself being an illiterate...

...sent you to Gwalior, London...

Hoping, when you return, you would teach us a way of living

But little did I know that today's education teaches selfishness

Do whatever you want, marry whomever you want

But don't be irresponsible towards your land, your village

Father, you have misunderstood me

There's so much that I wish to do for the people here, and I will

But I don't know why, I feel suffocated here

I keep thinking, god knows where have I come to!

Dad, please grant me your permission to leave

Manager?

Where the hell is everybody?

I am here, sire

Arrange for his ticket The prince wishes to leave

Shall I have it booked for two weeks later?

Did you hear?

Come here

Can you not stay for a few days with your father?

Stay for 20 days, 15 days, 10 days Whatever

Wouldn't I desire to talk to you, listen to you?

How anxious was I just to see you!

Who knows, upon your return you find your old dad's eyes closed for ever

Father, please don't utter words like these

I ain't leaving you for ever

As soon as the business is set up I'll come and take you with me

No. This body belongs to the land of this village

Don't ever try to uproot this tree, Shakti

Please trust me. I intend to do a lot for the people of this village

Who else can I place my trust upon

In this household it's just you who can accept responsibility

Go and rest

Carefully

Er, it's wet here

All the villagers are hereby informed that this temple...

...is being reopened for visits and prayers

Since the government has not yet resolved the dispute

This temple will be looked after by the head of this province

It would be considered an of fence to interfere in its affairs

Well, you did a good thing by having the temple reopened

While at it, tell us also as to who should lead the first procession

Otherwise again there will be a bloodshed

Rows can be easily avoided if one wishes

At least don't bring god into your disputes

Well, Shakti. I must leave now

How can we allow you to leave without visiting our house!

Yeah, come and have some snacks

Some other time. I have an urgent meeting to attend. Okay then!

Let's go

Father, regarding the land adjoining the dam...

Mr. Collector

1 would like to discuss an important topic with you

The dam near the village is very old and badly needs repair

In fact cracks have appeared in its wall towards the west

A calamity can occur any time.

Many officers come for inspection but nobody does anything

You think you could look into it?

Yeah, today itself I'll try and speak to the minister about it

Thanks, bye

What has Shakti planned to do?

A chain of restaurants...

I'm trying to start up a chain of fast-food restaurants

Just have to persuade dad about it

Okay

Okay. Wish you all the best

Doesn't listen to me at all

I forbid her to play in the rain What if she takes ill or catches cold!

That fellow has come just a few days back

And the scales have already tipped on their side

Not tipped, he has had it pulled

Houses of my men were burnt Did you do anything?

Arson is a legal of fence and I can prove this in the court of law

I just can't recollect the right article number now

Why don't you just bugger off if you can't remember anything?

They have burnt our houses, we'll set fire to theirs

In the monsoon the fire doesn't light, it goes off

You're right, father

Water puts out the fire

We'll use water as an answer to their arson

Dhaniya?

Hey!

Why is the calf making this noise?

Could you go and check if uncle has returned

Who is it?

Hey, who is it? Speak up

Why are you trying to escape? What were you doing here?

The wall of the dam has fallen Run...run...

What's happening? What's this noise all about?

Sounds like a blast!

Let's go and see

Dam wall has broken! Our houses have been flooded

Somebody do something

Run...!

Master, master

We're ruined

Just look at what has happened!

We have been ruined

My child

Whose child is this?

Whose child is this?

Whose child is this?

Whose child is this?

My child! My Child! My child is dead

My baby!

We are ruined!

Hey you! It was you, wasn't it?

Leave me

Lay off, let go

You blasted the dam. You killed my son

You are the one who has taken his life

I won't let you off. I'll kill you

You murdered my son

You killed him

I won't leave you

I'll punish you

He killed my baby

You're the one who set dynamite

You've taken my son's life

I'll take revenge

You murdered my son

Here is the criminal

And I will testify against him

Thank you

Get up

Who else was there with you?

Nobody, sir. I was alone, I myself placed the dynamite

You son of...

Five men were sent there Where are the other four?

Speak up

Believe me, sir There wasn't anybody else

Listen, speak out or else...

I told you, sir. I was alone

Hello, inspector. It's me, Bali Thakur

You're amongst the selected few whom Bali Thakur visits

Mr. Advocate

Here is the application for his bail

His bail cannot be granted

Why?

Because he has accepted his of fence of placing the bomb

Shit!

Bloody fool, you shouldn't have taken the laxative...

...if you already had diarrhea

Had we known that there was a killer in our employ

We'd never have vouched for this guy

People like you should indeed be punished

We just keep thinking about your poor wife and children

Who'd look after them, have you given a thought to that?

Well, they will be looked after by us

Don't just stand here. Let's go

Oh, yes

Whatever Bali Thakur said was worth giving a thought to

"His wife and children will be looked after by us"

This was hidden meaning behind that A threat to him

Now this dude won't confess anything further

All your efforts wasted!

Hard work never goes in vain

Even if one criminal is punished

Anybody else would think twice before committing a crime

People of the village would start trusting law and justice

This is all that I wished for

Shakti

I cannot bear the plight of people So I've just had a little

You also drink

Here

As you wish

Have you eaten?

No

Why?

Don't feel like eating

You see that woman?

She is the mother who lost her child

Even she's having her meal

Do you know why?

So that she is able to take care of her other child

A person can only be of help to others if he is alive and healthy

Manager

1,2,3, 4.

Manager

When is my ticket booked for?

For tomorrow

Have it cancelled

Then the other reservation wouldn't be easily obtainable

Because of the oncoming festival holidays

Never mind

But...

Father, I won't be going

Manager, have it cancelled, cancelled

Cancel

Can I get a little salt?

You traitor

Worthless is your law practice

You couldn't even have a bail granted

Bail wasn't a problem.

This time all the articles were at the tip of my tongue

But, that freak...

He turned all my efforts in vain

Don't worry. Next time the law will be on our side too

Till then, do we keep looking at your face, you idiot?

We are from the Thakur clan

We can accept death, but not defeat

No, sire. Let death come to our enemies

This time I'll utilise such a clause that...

...they wouldn't even be able to prove our of fence in court

Your elder brother will hop about...

...as if steaming oil had been poured on his feet

How?

What is his weak point?

What could it be!

Take a guess

The sorrow of villagers

Please come master, come

Please make way

Greetings, master

Our greetings, elder Thakur

We offer our respects, master

What is the matter?

Without any discussion these people have brought police

And have started building the fence

On asking Narayan the reason...

This attorney started lecturing on law

If they happen to block this road we farmers would be impoverished

We'd have to take the vegetables to the market by longer route

And even then we may only be able to reach the market by night

Who'd purchase our stale produce the next day!

If this happens our families would perish of starvation

Father...Father

Shall I go and handle the situation?

Try and handle yourself first

Please don't go there alone

You people stay here

Shakti, come with me

Hey you! Lawyer!

Oh elder Thakur! I see that you have had to come personally

My respects to you

What's all this?

This? The legal owner of the land wanted to protect his property...

...from trespass, transgression and of fence

Look, we are not concerned with your intentions or modalities

But we'd like to know what legal rights you have to say..

...that a fence is required

Are you satisfied, now that you have heard English?

Okay, now start yapping in Hindi

Or perhaps, you don't know Hindi?

No, that isn't the case

Of course, long live our national language

The land-owner wanted the fence We had it erected

As far as I know, the owner is Narayan

And this land was given to him by us

Isn't that so, Narayan? Is this barrier done with your approval?

No, master, they themselves...

Gehna, don't interfere

When his wife took ill, Nan/an mortgaged this land to Bali Thakur

Currently the papers of this land are with him

They seem to be taking advantage of Narayan's helplessness

And playing around with legal manoeuvres

We'll take this case in the court of law

Why should it be necessary to drag it to the court?

The feuds here are settled not by court but by village assembly

Narayan, be present there at 7.00 tomorrow morning

Let's go

I suppose we are slightly late

Not slightly! You've come an hour late

The people of Thakur Clan don't work according to the clock

Instead the time runs at our will

Chief, you may start

Would you like to say something?

Is this a village assembly or a durbar?

Don't waste our time. Come to the point

Of course. We should only discuss the relevant issues

The main point here is that on the land of this village...

has the equal right just as a child to its mother

I'd like to ask Narayan...

On what grounds does he wish to obstruct the road

The road which is the road of betterment for villagers

The road to their prosperity, the road to their necessities

This morning I saw Narayan leaving for Kasharpur

Let me answer this

I present here Narayan's power of attorney on my name

It has Narayan's thumb impression

I refuse to accept it

Apparently, this is rather an impression of his desperation

You have taken undue advantage of that...

and are trying to present it as a legal document

This is a common occurrence these days

In my view this paper carries no weight

What is your opinion?

Piece of paper or a legal document?

The way we see it..

...the main reason for all this is the dispute between two Thakurs

They should come to some sort of agreement amongst themselves

Therein lies the betterment of the whole village

Would you like to say something?

The whole village knows that I have no objection to this

Even today I abide by that

The only condition being that, the barricades be removed

For which I am ready to pay any price

We are not that desperate yet to sell our land

This case would eventually have to be resolved in the law court

No Thakur of this village has ever been dragged to the court

Nor ever will

Look who is talking about the honour of Thakurs

Thakur clan never accepts a girl as a daughter-in-law...

who comes to live-in before marriage

Uncle!

Father, this is our personal matter, why raise it here?

You keep quiet

There should be a limit to everything!

They are attempting to tarnish the character of a decent girl

The foreign dude is very hot-tempered indeed!

Look, uncle..

Didn't I tell you to remain quiet!

For the last time I request the assembly to give their ruling on this

Why do you keep urging the assembly again and again?

Seems like the bark of a street dog!

Then what'd be the difference between you and them?

This impertinent boy speaks in an unmannerly way

How can this be tolerated?

Please do something

Listen, Bali..

...the reason why I wish our assembly to submit ruling is that...

we all hold it in very high esteem

Little did I know, I was coming to a place where...

I'm neither honoured nor respected

Come, Shakti. Let's go

I feel suffocated among these uncivilised people

Have you accepted defeat, you cowards?

Mind your language, Bali

Shakti, don't. Come on

All this has just started Watch out for more to come

No need for that. I'll teach you..

Shakti, let's go

I cannot tolerate this I'll kill that bastard

Hey, outsider. Didn't you bring your courage along?

What about that foreign madam of yours?

They are bent upon bloodshed I'll go on foot

They are trying to provoke us

There is no need

What now, master

Don't ask me. Keep me out of your petty issues

I'm sick of them. Give me some peace of mind

I just don't know what and what not to do anymore

Just command us and we'd roll their heads at your feet

Shut up. Always blabbering around

Shakti?

Yes, father

You were right. These people can think of nothing but killings

You wanted to leave, right?

Then leave

If you continue to stay here then you'd also become like these animals

Calm yourself, father, I am not going anywhere

What was that you had in mind? Some 'rant or shant. That tea-stall?

Go and start that. Take them along too

Try to keep them occupied

Over here, those jerks won't alow them to carry on farming peacefully

And they'll keep fighting and slaying each other

Don't get frustrated, god knows what you've been saying

Bullshit! Why on earth would I get angry?

One who has some conscience, or self-respect, has a right to be angry

What do I have? They have snatched everything

In just a moment, that despicable boy has...

Leave me alone

Father.. Father! Are you..

Nothing has happened to me I am all right

All of you please leave Just leave me alone

Grandpa, are you angry?

No, dear. My body is paining all over

Then please lie down. Let me give you a rub and massage your limbs

No, I will

No, I will

My dear children, your grandpa, yet is so strong that you all may

Then please lie down

Very well

Would you sing a song for your grandpa?

Which one, grandpa?

The one which tells of a king

Loved by all, he lived in everybody's hearts

No sweetie, from the beginning

He was loved by all In everybody's heart he lived

No. Didn't I say? From the very start.

How does it go, grandpa?

A village there used to be once, of which...

A village there used to be once, of which...

Yes. Very good. Now sing like that

Grandpa... grandpa!

Mother!

Mother!

Papal

Father!

Mother!

Grandpa, grandpa!

Please come and see what has happened to grandpa

Grandpa, please wake up

Mother!

Shakti! Shakti!

What is it, brother?

A letter! A letter

Whose is it?

Hey, come and see

From the fragrance it seems to be from her

It is from her, isn't it?

Let him read it first

Hey, why don't you read it aloud

She is angry that I informed her so late regarding dad

Loves to Surkhiya. My fond regards to you and sister-in-law

See! She is so much concerned about us You don't even..

Why? What's the matter?

Don't you see! How my hands are trembling!

Since you've asked Surkhiya to follow me...

he stands watch even when I go for a shower

Brother, you had promised me, is it not?

Yes, Shakti. But sometimes just a little...

Not even a drop, I'd said Our reputation is at stake here

Okay, as you wish. Take a turn here

Hey Gehna. Look there. Young master's document has blown away

Go hurry, grab it quickly

Greetings, young master

Hello

Here

Young master, you remind us of your dad

It is this bloody fence which took his life

Bring it quickly

Coming, father

Sire, this girl is the root of all trouble

In order to get some money for her dowry I mortgaged the land

Otherwise, I'd have sold it and left the village long back

Then I wouldn't have been the cause of worry for village people

I mean, just look

There's this road here but useless for the people

I really don't know what to do

Stupid fool, what were you doing there near the fence?

Trying to merge with them, huh?

We are trying to break relations and you want to associate with them?

I'll cut your tongue off if you dare to talk with him again

Go, get lost

Bali?

What is it?

Make me sit on the chair

Yesterday my elder brother appeared in my dream

Looked at me lovingly and said, "Come Birju, you come too"

He keeps bothering us even after his death. What a pain!

Young master! At this hour!

Greetings, young master

Hello, uncle

I need to talk to you

This concerns betterment of the whole village

So, of what use will it be speaking to me?

Whatever it is, you may speak to those people

If they come to know about this meeting...

a new problem they'd create a new problem for me

For gods' sake please don't involve us in this

Even if it concerns your daughter's marriage?

What?!

I didn't understand

I have a boy in mind for her He is worthy in every aspect

And the dowry?

Nothing

The only condition being, you'd have to remove the fence

Goodbye, sire. I can't do this They'll cut my head off

I take that responsibility

Upon my father's name I swear and assure you that you'll come to no harm

Don't lose heart over this land

In return, I'll give you the fertile land near the canal

Twice the area of this one

That is all right, but we'd constantly have to live in fear

Let's do one thing, shall we? We'd ask Bali's mother first

Then nothing can be achieved

Whatever is to be done, has to be decided by us and now

Look uncle, I have faith in you You wouldn't go back on your word

As for you, do you trust me?

I happen to be the son of the elder Thakur of the village.

To respect my promise I will readily lay my life

That's true

Mohan

Yes, sir?

This is the boy

Mohan, tell uncle that you are prepared to marry Gehna

I am. We'll do anything for you

Welcome, chief

Congratulations, Narayan

Congratulations!

This is all by the grace of god

Bring the necklace, hurry

Coming, coming

Master, victory is on our side

Is everything ready, Priest?

Good morning, inspector

I have arranged police security on all sides

Thank you very much

Manager, please look after them, I'll just come

Hello, Inspector

Grand preparations for the marriage are going on at the temple

Shakti Thakur has invited the whole village

The funny thing is,along with the band, gunmen are also present

Our bullet is going to be fired without any gun

It is not an of fence to fire a bullet without a gun and I can have it proved

Interesting thing is that, this time I very well remember the clause

Wait! Hang on. Come here

Why are you going in? Whom do you want to meet?

I have to deliver this letter to the young master

Is that so? Go. ['ll give it myself Come on, leave

Come on, lady, hurry up

Where is master?

He is sitting there on the opposite side

Master, this letter

Who has given?

A boy was here. He.. where did he go?

What happened, Shakti?

Read this

Greetings to young master from Mohan

You have been good enough to have thought me worthy me of marriage

But because of my poverty I don't consider myself suitable

Because whoever will marry this girl..

He'll definitely be a scapegoat of the dispute between you people

Maybe the girl is courageous enough to risk her groom

But I'm not prepared to risk my life

I'm helpless that I'd be breaking my promise to you

Hence I'm leaving the village

You see, young master

What troubles have you heaped on us!

The whole village knows about this marriage with Mohan

And that wretched boy left the village altogether

After this what respect would I have

My daughter's life has been totally ruined

Calm yourself, uncle

Calm, my foot!

Al your command I had the fence removed

Taken up enmity with Bali Thakur

And now it is our life that is at stake

Manager

Yes, young master

Go and call Nathu. Tell him I've called

Uncle, today this marriage is going to take place

I ain't going to marry my daughter off to any Tom,Dick or Harry

Come tomorrow, if he also writes a note and leaves?

It was my mistake that I trusted you I should be ashamed of myself

You! Don't just stand there and cry Let's go

Perhaps it's your destiny that has bad luck written all over it

Nobody has asked me my decision

All men have decided just amongst themselves

Would this have happened had my mother been alive?

Because she is not there so I have come upon this ill fate

Now even I don't wish to live

I rather commit suicide by jumping in a well or a lake

Don't go alone. Why would I want to stay alive too?

And as it is, Bali Thakur isn't going to spare me

Let's leave

Uncle, wait

Of what use would that be?

We would think of a way out

What would we think over? There is nothing left

Young master, I'd like to ask you just this

You had said that you are the son of our beloved Thakur

You'd sacrifice your life for your promise

Where is your promise? It's our life which is at risk

Listen. You've nothing to fear Police will provide you cover

Sir, all this is happening despite police protection, isn't it!

Let's go

Narayan uncle, please wait

I admit that I have committed a gross mistake

To have expected sacrifice from somebody else

Your insult was not what I intended

Nor did I have the fence removed to gain any respect...

Or to disrespect Bali Thakur

I only wanted the prosperity of villagers

I indeed am Raja Thakur's son and would do anything for my word

It wasn't a lie

Your mother is not there that is why ill-fate has befallen you

And that nobody had asked you of your choice

This is what you had said, right?

Do not think like that. Here I am, asking you..

Do you have any objection in marrying me?

Please say something

Young master, what would this poor girl say?

She should indeed consider herself very lucky

Honey, pay your respects

Are your our new auntie?

My uncle has married you, isn't it?

Can you give us these flowers?

Okay, children, don't bother your auntie. Let her come in

Come, sister

Milk

I don't need

Please drink it. It is a custom

You should have left a little for me!

According to the tradition

On! I drank it all

It's all right

Sit down

He drank all the milk?

Yes

Since he has been educated abroad...

He is not aware of Indian culture

And then?

Then...? This happened

Dear Anita,

Dearest Anita,

Anita, how should I explain this to you

He remembers her very much

You don't worry. You are so nice that in a few days he'll forget her

Go and make tea for him

No, what if he doesn't like it? You make it please

No, you make and take it to him

You should start knowing his likes and dislikes

Now it's you who have to take care of him. Followed?

Go, make tea and take it to him

Greetings, young master There's a registered letter for you

Anita is coming on 14th

Remember to send the car

Yes, master

Young master, young master

When did you see?

About an hour back

Sister-in-law

Yes

When did brother leave the house?

He left at sunrise

He was speaking of going to the farms What is it?

Nothing

Watch out

Bali Thakur, come out quickly

Look, Shakti Thakur, I don't know anything

I am just a lawyer and can prove this in court

What is all this?

Shakii, I didn't drink. These people made me drink forcefully

Do you have any idea what you were about to do?

You are about to sell off father's property

Property?! No

These people said, this is the letter

No, no, I didn't say nothing. I am prepared to swear on the holy book

Take brother away

Bali, look carefully and try to recognise me

I am also born on this same land I eat the same grain that you eat

The animal erupting inside you is still dormant within me

Never dare to wake it up.

Otherwise you'd have to repent and so will I

Greetings, madam

Shakti hasn't come?

No, he is at home. Take the bags

But why didn't Shakti come

Some important work came up

What have you done to yourself?

For a second, I thought as if it was your dad

I'm sorry. He was a great man

Thanks.. come

Sister-in-law, calm yourself Everything will be all right

Come

Hi, Surkhiya

Hello

Master, master

It's because of me that you've had to go through all this

I mean, you see, no one can go against destiny

How have you been keeping?

Oh! My other hand is still very strong enough

Hi, rangoli Girl, how are you?

Did you get the photographs?

Pardon

Did you get the photos?

Yes

What are you doing here?

Please get some drinks

Tea or sherbet?

Yes, tea would be fine

Isn't she the girl from the opposite camp?

Yeah

What is she doing here? Anything new has come up?

Oh, Shakii! I have been waiting for this moment

I know, I know the reason for your disappointment

It's because I couldn't come early Isn't it?

But what could I do?

I'd been there just four days that your telegram about dad came

You didn't even write whether or not I should come

Don't!

Why, Shakti? Why did you do it?

Why?

Why, why?

Why did you do it?

Why did you? Why did you do this?

How could you do it?

How could you do it, Shakti?

How could you?

How could you do it?

Just let me know my mistake Where did I go wrong?

Give me one bloody good reason, man

Come on

The circumstances!

Bullshit circumstances

You know, I love you. Right?

You know

Even you loved me, didn't you?

Or it was her that you loved from the start?

Then why did you do this?

How can you love somebody and marry somebody else?

Speak up

Whom do you love?

Answer me!

This village

For it you dared to sacrifice my life?

And that too without asking me?

What right did you have to do that?

None at all

Then why the h...?!

You have a right. You may curse me however you like

Now, this photograph is a reality

And it is also a fact...that I love you

Out of these two truths one would have to be ignored

In just a few days you've gone a long way off, Shakti

I should never be forgiven for whatever has happened with you

Nor will I ever therefore, ask for it

After this marriage, not only with Gehna...

...but forever I have been connected with this village

It becomes my duty now to look after both

She didn't ask anything, silently got married

For this one reason itself, I feel that should never betray her trust

Perhaps I am unable to make myself understood

I keep thinking will I ever be explain to her!

However she is, the fact remains that she is now my wife

And will always be

Who is it?

It's me

I have brought tea

Your wife

Your village

Both are yours

Except me

But, the fact that I love you is also a truth

And it'll always remain so for me

I am leaving

For where?

Wherever. Back to daddy

There wouldn't be any train now

So what? I'll go on foot, I'll die

No, I won't die. I will live and always keep you in my heart

This would be your only punishment

Don't try to give me any explanation

I'd refuse to understand

You go. Go from here

Just leave me alone. Please go, man

Just go

Correct?

No

Right?

Wrong

Would I get a reservation for tomorrow's train?

Yes, I've already had it done

May I...Can I stay here till then?

Anita, please

Should you be asking this?

I don't know. Now that I have become a mere guest

Hey, hey, please don't

Come on, get up

Please, please don't break our marriage

Don't be silly

It was actually you who should have been married to him

Both of you have equal likes and dislikes

Of education, virtue, family values

I know I've unnecessarily come between you both

Look...! What's your name?

Name! Gehna

Gehna, I haven't come here to jeopardize your life

I had just come here in search of mine

Then I realised. Wasn't here anymore! Hence I am going back

I didn't know that within Shakti, lay such a strong rural person

Get rid of any fear that you have

The Shakti that I had loved doesn't live here anymore

The one who lives here is your husband

Have you kept water for her?

She is not used to sleeping early like we do

Go and sit with her. But see that you don't bore her

Come back if she starts feeling sleepy

If you need anything, please let her know. Good night

Come sit

Hey! Not there, on the chair

It is not his fault He has just made a sacrifice

What?

If he wouldn't have married me...

then the only alternative for dad and me was to commit suicide

It was only for our lives and respect that he has married me

Please don't blame him for that.

If at all anybody, then it is me who is to be blamed

May I go?

Why?

I've been speaking all along. I'm a villager after all, you see

What if any of my talk offends you!

Shakii had asked you to keep talking fill I feel sleepy, remember?

Come, sit

How would you feel sleepy if I keep talking?

You have a point there

So... shall I sing a song?

Oh! Oh god! Please don't cry Okay, I won't sing

It was a mistake. Please don't cry

I am laughing, not crying

Why?

Just like that. At my fate

Never mind. I won't sing

What if you start crying after listening to the song?

Actually I don't sing very well

I promise you, I won't cry

So, should I sing?

You may keep sitting and sing, okay?

Yes, indeed

Hurry up, Anita. The train just stops here for two minutes

This here is your separate compartment No one will bother you

Yes, so I gather

Thanks to you

Try and forget everything. Me, our..

Our love, etc., etc., right?

Would you be able to forget?

If one tries, nothing is impossible

I won't remember the Shakti who belongs to Gehna

But my Shakti, he lives here I can't forget him

Nor will I ever want to

Good luck

Good bye

What happened?

It was the mark 'lispick'

'Lispick' ?!

I rubbed it off otherwise people will laugh at you

Please don't be angry

I can understand what other people will think

It is a question of your respect if somebody was to say anything

That is why...

Wouldn't you drive a little slow

It seems you are in a great tension You are sad

What?

Tension.. sad

Sister-in-law has asked me to learn English

She says this is the only way for me to make place in your heart

These days she is my teacher

I am sorry

Pardon?

I am sorry. It means, please forgive me

Why do you say like that? You are my god

I should be the one saying sorry All the 'sorries' are due to me

No, wasn't sabotage or a conspiracy It was just an accident

Did you take down the licence plate of the lorry?

No

I was just worried about Gehna

There is no need to suspect anybody

Forget about it

What happened

Nothing, dear. A glass fell off

After that incident she gets scared even at the slightest noise

And is always worried about you

We request you never to go out alone

Okay

I take your leave

We are leaving, young master

Auntie

Far, far away is the moon

Making all the goodies for us

Auntie, auntie, look. She is beating me

I won't tell you a story if you keep fighting

Go, play. And don't fight

Gehna

Coming

Stay right here, don't get up. Okay?

Gehna, would you please get some flour

Gehna?

Hey, be careful

What's the hurry?

You'll break your limbs if you slip

You see, I mean, this is the first time you've ever called me

What was it?

Close the door

Look...!

I am your husband and you're my wife

Nobody can ever change this, followed?

What did I say?

Nobody can ever change this relation

But I need some time to change myself

Gradually I'll try to forget all my past

I hope you are not cross with me

No

You understand my problem, don't you?

Yes

Thank you

Men.. , Please 'No Mention'

May I go now?

Why?

I'd just be an unnecessary bother to you

Absolutely not

Pardon?

I won't be bothered. Come sit here

Not there, here

Stand up

Sit down

Stand up!

Sit down

Why do you behave like a puppet? This is your own house

Live as you please

Nobody would stop you or tell you anything

If you need anything you are welcome to tell me

If there's anything you dislike, speak to me

Even if you dislike anything, please tell me

Okay

Do you like songs?

How come?

I mean, when sister Anita was sad and I offered to sing...

...she started laughing

If you are feeling sad too, should I sing for you?

Yes, sing

Yes

You can keep sitting and sing, isn't it?

Yes, that is right

I am unable to...

No, not because of this...

It's just that I am unable to...

The village people say that as the procession of Mother goddess...

hasn't been taken out since many years, bad events have been happening

This year, the assembly has decided that the prayer procession...

be taken out under the lookout of a government officer

And the honour of being chief guests be given to Raja Thakur's family

Why them?

Because he was elder

From which angle? Why do you consider the one who is already dead?

Because amongst the ones alive I am elder

We should only be concerned about the earth...

and not the kingdom of heaven

Or I think it could be because this guy has been going about the village

Boasting about his victory and trying to let us down

Bali, you are talking nonsense Get a grip of yourself

This festival is for the betterment of whole village

The question of victory and defeat doesn't arise

I will consider it my victory only if I can unite this village

I am absolutely not interested in being the chief guest.

You be. I admit you are elder to me

It would be beyond my honour to accept anything cast aside by you

You can't insult Bali that easily

I vow to behead you very soon. Or I wouldn't consider myself a Thakur

You shut up

Tell me, Bali. What is more important?

To be a Thakur or to be a good human being?

In a few days you'd cease being both

You would only be a corpse A mere corpse

This is my open challenge

I'm also challenging you on one thing

Stop harassing the villagers

Looks like the animal within you has awakened

No, and don't dare to awaken it

Before that happens your head will be biting the dust

Come on

Please wait, Bali Thakur

There's no need to be frustrated Next year it will be your turn

There are still 365 days left for the next year.

No one knows what will happen until then

Hey, ¢'mon. Let's go

Gehna

Come on, hurry up. Haven't you had enough make up already?

People will come for blessings of mother goddess, not to look at you

I bet moving the big chariot would be easier than...

getting the women folk away from a mirror

Is Surkhiya here?

Should be out there, I suppose

Lakshmi?

Mother said, she's just coming

Auntie is not feeling well She has had repeated vomits

Hey, quiet. Didn't mother say not to tell anybody!

Isn't Gehna feeling well?

It's nothing. Come on

Must be something she'd have eaten

She'll be all right if she doesn't eat anything for a day

It's not that

Understood? Come, come

Yeah but, why is she vomiting?

Silly! Don't you understand even after fathering three children?

Hello

Hello. Is that the inspector?

Sir, he has gone out

He has gone out?

Yes Oh, god!

I needed to speak to him on an important topic

May I know who is calling?

This is Birju Thakur

What important matter did you want to talk about?

I know what is up your sleeve

Don't do it Our reputation will be jeopardized

Bali, listen to him, son Please listen to him

Wait, Bali

Wait

Wait. He will be killed

Who are you to stop me? Do you know whom are you talking to

What's happening?

Make way, let me go. Please let me by

What is the matter?

Call Raja Thakur's son I wish to speak to him

What is it, mother? Why are you so annoyed?

Didn't you hear me? I wouldn't speak to you

Call the young master

Pardon?

There's no need to shout Call the young master

It is me. I am Raja Thakur's son Please tell me whatever you wish to say

You! Sonny, just look at how you've grown!

I didn't recognise you at all! Oh yeah! How would you know me!

I am your Satto auntie Do you remember Satto auntie?

I used to look after you when you were a child

I see! Sattopa auntie!

Do you remember I used to feed you?

Yes, yes, I remember

Where do you wish to go?

You see, son. I've come a long way just to be able to pull the rope

These people are not letting me pass

Oh, I see!

Come with me. Please come

Come with me, mother

Please stand here. Stand this side

Would anybody stop me?

No, mother, nobody would stop you

What if somebody pushes me on the ground?

Nobody would. This is my place I was supposed to stand here

You have given my your own place? May mother goddess grant you long life

You may stand here Nobody would turn you away

Hey, Surkhiya, don't just stand there Come on

After touching this pious rope I feel that I have been blessed

I have attained a blissful state, mother goddess. Praised be the goddess

What is the matter? What is this commotion all about?

Auntie...Auntie?

Where is Bali?

Shakti, he has left us to die and run away himself

You may do whatever you like to us

Kill us, slay us do whatever you wish

As it is, now the villagers aren't going to spare us

We'd rather that you kill us

Kill us all

Kill us, Kill us

Get them all out See that no one escapes

Get the enemies of the village out

So what, that they happen to be your relatives. We'd burn them all alive

Blood in return for blood!

Until when is it going to go on like this?

I say, until when?

Leave this place. Please leave

If you still wish revenge anyhow, then here I am in front of you

Kill me even. Have me removed from your way

And paint this palace red with blood The place of your beloved Thakur

The villagers are hereby informed..

...that due to the bomb-blast incident..

There is a possibility of riots breaking out

Hence according to the law, article 144 has been imposed

Would be considered an of fence to meet in a public place

Anybody violating the law would be taken in custody

Villagers are hereby informed that...

Bali?

Bali?

Why have you come here? Police are everywhere on the lookout for you

You go from here. Run away

Like your husband I ain't no coward to hide in a hole

You are pigs to be with the enemies I haven't come here to seek shelter

I have come here to behead that dog

And while at it, yours and your husband's too

I won't allow this. Now you would not take a single more life

There you are! Today even your angels can't save you from me

I always do what I say

Here.. take this

Auntie!

Pick it up! What are you looking at?

Today it will be either you or me

Already a lot of blood has been shed

Why do you still crave for more?

Whether you kill one or a hundred, I can be punished only once

Since last two days I have been waitingjust to cut your head off

Pick it up

What have you been obsessed by, Bali?

Useless is my manhood if I allow my wife to take shelter in your house

You should be ashamed, Bali You are my elder cousin

Your wife is my sister-in-law Do you understand?

I said pick up the sickle, you coward

Bali, why are you after the man who has saved our life?

No, please don't do this

Lay off Auntie!

Bali

Bali

Listen, Bali

No, Bali. Please don't do this

Son of a...

Auntie, please don't come close!

Seems as if the animal within you is dead. You timid fellow

Have you ever seen the god of death? Look at me.l am that. The god of death

Bali, listen to your mother Don't be foolish

Bali

You better kill him

It's better to be childless than to have a son like him

Bali, silently accompany me to the police-station

Police have a warrant for you

And the village people are also after your life

Come, auntie

Shakti!

Stop, Bali

Bali!

Stop, Bali

Bali

Wake up that animal within you

Wake it up Why don't you bloody wake it up?

You have turned me into a murderer too

You've made me a killer!

I used to tell you. Don't try to awaken the animal in me

I urged you to hand yourself over to the police

You did well. It was a very good thing that you did.

You have done the whole village a favour

I am prepared to take this murder upon me

Please give me this axe. And you leave

Before the police come, you please leave, young master

Where would I go? I'll take care of everything

If I run away from myself, I would have nowhere to go

Where would I go? I wouldn't want to keep running from self

No, master

I am a murderer!

Please listen to me

I am a murderer!

Please listen to us. The whole village is ready to take blame for this

You all have taken enough reprehension upon yourselves

Enough sacrifices have been asked of you already

Master, hand me the axe

This won't happen

I beseech you all to stay in unity

Give a good education to your children

Stop all these killings and fights

All of you should love and help each other..

And live together in brotherhood
