Sometimes I pause to ponder upon the peculiar world of daughters,

from homes they're born into, reared and raised,

their ties they'll uproot, to transplant themselves elsewhere

To a home she belongs, she will estrange herself and..

make a stranger's home, her own

The little buds, before our eyes, will blossom into mothers of mankind

Any daughter's father, be it some rich man in faraway lands,

or some trader of fruit.. Iike myself here in Madhupur,

all face similar fate

Raising so lovingly, our daughter, so beloved..

blessing her every growing moment and then one day..

..sending her away, forever

All said and done..

daughters will always be daughters, like my Poonam

I nicknamed her..

Bitto

She's the only child of my late brother.

My brother and his wife died,

this unique gift, they left to me

Poonam grew up with my daughter Chhoti

The girls loved each other, more like siblings

But my wife Rama, she never took kindly to Poonam,

because in appearance, Poonam is prettier than Chhoti

In Rama, Poonam always sought a mother..

but the motherless child would never find a mother's love

I took Poonam under my wing

Mr Accountant, let her finish counting, put it right back!

All it took..

was only one loving glance to make her laugh

And my poems,

she would sing along

We recorded our songs on tape

For the little bridegroom, and his lovely bride..

a pretty palanquin is waiting outside

A pretty palanquin, waiting outside

But my little girl's always little to me..

..never old enough to marry, you see

She isn't old enough to marry, you see

She's my bride, I'm taking her! He says

She's my bride, I'm taking her now,

Dauntless bridegroom has sworn a vow

Now it's the daughter's turn to say,

Daddy, why are you in a hurry to send me away?

So what did the daughter have to say?

Daddy, why are you sending me away?

With so much love.. a daughter cares for her parents..

..her siblings, everyone

How dismal are some thoughts of men who think daughters are burdensome

Both my daughters have come of age..

..and it's time to think of Poonam's wedding

Relax! You're in the world's narrowest lane,

and in the middle of the world's slowest wedding procession. See you..

The world's dullest rocket, dull-est!

Radhey - Radhey (blessed be the name of Holy Radha)

Mr Accountant, Radhey Radhey

Radhey Radhey.. Oh.. is that you, Mr Bhagat?

It's been.. years!

Is Mr Krishnakant at home? - Yes, welcome

Madhupur remains untouched, it's just the way I left it,

the same narrow lanes and slow wedding processions and..

pervasive fear, of shooting rockets. - So true

Sir..

Yes?

Mr Bhagat is here

Mr Bhagat..!

Bhagat, why did you take the trouble..

..one call and I would've been in Delhi

When you and your wife can travel to Delhi to place orders for jewelry,

then why can't I come to Madhupur to deliver them?

Of course.. thank you

When I lived here, amongst you folks, the time of our lives we had..

you should remind him more often

Sister-in-law, how's the knee?

Improving

A look at the design of these bangles will heal it

And I know, you've a keen eye for jewelry

Over years, bit by bit, jewelry must be bought..

..for the day when daughters marry

Giving daughters away in marriage, is said to be the most sacred act

When a father sees his daughter standing before him..

..resplendent in bridal finery,

there is a sense of fulfillment

Water

Bless you

Krishnakant, isn't she Poonam, your Bitto?

Well, you've made her out, you saw her when she was so little

It was intuition..

She's about to graduate in commerce, she takes care of my accounts

But I've toiled in vain to craft such exquisite jewelry

She is so beautiful.. who will look at my jewels!

Chhoti.. Chhoti

Aunty, I'll fetch her (Aunty.. Aunt)

Sister, what a cool song.. please join me (Sister.. Sister)

If Aunty comes to know, it's dancing and not studying,

you know what's to happen?

Nothing, you always save my skin

Get dressed, we've a guest downstairs

God! Guests come for Babuji and Maa makes me do the make-up drill..

and before I'm down, the guest is gone

You're far better off Sister, Maa tells you nothing

Sorry Sister.. Maa tells you nothing at all

You chatter much too much to give anyone else even a say.. move

Why weren't you ready?

And no face pack even today?

I disapprove of all this.. and stop showing your teeth

In front of the guest, walk properly

Madhupur's rabri, the world's best rabri!

Krishnakant, I beg to be excused now

Sister-in-law, may both your girls marry..

..the world's best sons-in-law, soon

You have my best wishes.

- Thank you Uncle, for making Maa smile

Rama, time for me to go to the temple

The sermon is to begin

Uncle (Uncle)

He always forgets

Uncle.. do visit us again

She cares for the smallest of my needs,

more like a mother

Krishnakant, you wondered how I recognized Poonam. Fact is..

there's much talk in our social circles about..

..her beauty and her beautiful nature

You must have received several proposals for matrimony?

Yes, but times are changing, even values are changing,

good proposals are far too few

For Poonam, I seek a home where her values will be respected

Radha and Krishna's light divine bathes all there is in Universe

Yet devotion inspires, this worshiper of Love..

to light this lamp in heartfelt prayer

O'Krishna and Radha..

Krishna and Radha, O'divine come unto us, bless this home of mine

Please accept our invitation,

all we seek is Your love

Krishnakant, I have in mind, a boy for Poonam..

a nice, handsome boy.. from an excellent family

You've heard of Mr Harishchandra..

..of Harishchandra group of industries, Delhi?

Who does not know him?

He's one of the luminaries in our society

He has scaled peaks of prosperity, yet he is firmly rooted in simplicity

He's a very open-minded person

For Poonam..

I'm suggesting Prem, Mr Harishchandra's younger son

I cannot even dream of an alliance with so high and mighty a family

Are the sons of the high and mighty to go unmarried?

Which family doesn't need a good daughter-in-law?

But.. - No excuses

Mr Harishchandra is searching for a good daughter-in-law

A very good daughter-in-law, is what I'll suggest to him.

Now, Poonam's photo

Will you give me, or not? - I'll get it

Look Maa, loads of face pack. Happy now?

Sister, snap me a photo.

I want to send it to the zoo

Oh come on, Maa

Babuji sends Sister's photo to Delhi, can't I send mine even to a zoo?

Maa, can I tell Sister about the Delhi-wallah boy?

I don't like these cheap antics

Who's this guy from Delhi?

Why should I tell?

Babuji.. Babuji (Father) - Listen!

Stop!

Look..!

Chhoti.. no sparing you!

Babuji look! Sister is nagging me..

it's one question again and again

When will the boy say yes, for marriage!

What! Chhoti!

Come here

Bitto

With much hope, Mr Bhagat has taken your photo to Delhi

I was hearing the sermon today and..

I don't know why, but I got a feeling,

this is the family you are destined to belong to

Hurry up Grandpa, no time!

- Yes, yes sir

Harishchandra

Good day. - Bhagat, welcome

Marine life, is it?

My grandson's homework project, what do you think of it?

Very likely, the world's best project.. but why in the morning..?

Getting his homework done, is my job

We spent yesterday watching the cricket match, so now we suffer

You paste that submarine.

I'll fill in the color, your teacher will never know

Grand-uncle.. what color's the sky?

Blue

Grandpa, what're you doing?

Green.. sorry

Grandpa, grow up

My respects, Uncle

God bless.. do you see the boss of 10,000 men..

..being bossed over by a boy..

and how he obeys!

Grandfather, after all

Rahul, it is time for the bus. - Here uncle.

Good morning Dad, good morning everybody

My respects, Uncle.

- Sunil, I wish you happiness

Sorry, I'm late.

Got talking to the lawyers

No problem, join us

Papa, reading newspapers at the table isn't allowed

Papa, only business news, please.

- For business, you've got all day

Breakfast time is.. - Family time

Thank you

Here you are, son

Bhavna, where's Prem?

He left early, for a squash game.

You forgot, Papa?

Sorry

Uncle, if Papa had it his way..

..he'd have the whole family around him all day

One minute!

Are you taking off with Rahul to your mother's for a vacation?

Papa, I'll be back soon

Let ten gents leave home.. you won't know!

But when women and kids are gone, the whole house sounds empty

Bhavna, I'm sorry, no going to your mother's this time

Papa.

For this permanent problem of the world, I got a solution

You get to go to your mother's and the house won't sound empty

How..?

Bring home a junior daughter-in-law

I have..

found a bride for Prem

Ya Prem, that's the shot

Be right back

Bali, looks like you'll lose again

Now's your chance to escape.

Run along. - Shut up

Today I'll win

Sorry guys. Papa wants me in office and it's urgent, so I'll have to go

At least finish the game

You win

Good morning, sir

I'll tell the marketing department to get in touch with you later..

Hey Aunt Maria, grab a bite?

- No! I'm so very happy,

I'm going to fast all day! Go.. go.. go..

Your daddy is waiting for you

Come in, son

That's okay.

The rest is not so important.

You talk to him. Talk to him.

Papa, why is everyone beaming at me ?

I didn't even win my game today

It's all because there's a wedding proposal for you

You mean, marriage?

Your education is completed, now it's time..

..for us to think about your marriage

Mr Bhagat came home today

He suggests there's a girl for you, her name is Poonam

Poonam's parents are deceased, she was raised very lovingly by her uncle

They live in Madhupur. Mr Bhagat says they are very decent, honest folks

If I've your yes, then next Sunday..

..we may go to Madhupur to meet the girl

If there is someone else you like, you may speak openly, son

No Papa, there's nothing of the sort

Only thing is.. marrying, so early?

Now is the right age, son. Even your brother married at your age

Our scriptures say so, also from my experience..

it's easier to accept someone, easier to adapt to someone at an early age

It makes for a relationship that grows more firm, takes deeper root

Papa.. I haven't even started upon my career

I'm just a trainee in the factory

Prem, every man who aspires to achieve needs an inspiration

She will come into your life like an inspiration..

to share every moment of your life, to bear half the burden of your sorrows

And to double your joys

You might think, why a girl from a small town.. Madhupur?

Your mother was also from a small town near Bhopal

Now who could have been a better mother to you?

We lived life to the fullest, traveled the world, watched you boys grow up

To this day, she is besides me

Nowadays when I see youngsters losing faith in the institution of marriage,

I feel so sorry

Your mother always maintained..

the most vital components of a marriage are trust and honesty

Children nowadays miss the significance

Prem, I've always tried to be in step with you, your generation,

to speak the language you speak, your kind of fashion, music, movies

Now I want, you too should imbibe certain values from earlier generations

Meet the girl, speak with her, find out if you can understand each other

Then, take the decision

And now,

Poonam's photo

Take a look

I'll wait outside

Guess what Prem, Bhagat Uncle told me..

when Papa spoke about marriage to him, he had blushed crimson

Well?

The wife's presence is always taken for granted, but for once at least,

put that paper away and give your brother some advice

The first time he came to see me, he came all prepared..

after memorizing a whole questionnaire

Brother..

what was the first question you asked?

- The first question?

May I have a glass of water, please ?

That was the first-and-last

Uncle, she's the one you're marrying?

Will she give you good-night kisses, like Mummy gives Papa?

Naughty! - He's always talking his head off

You got to be careful what you say in front of this guy

Rahul, bedtime. - Good night

You're becoming mischievous

Papa.. paper..

It's yesterday's paper. Put it down!

No, I was only..

Come

More about Poonam?

I'm told she likes to read

In their house, girls never wear jeans, dresses, etc

They never go to restaurants.

Oh yes, you may have to speak in chaste Hindi

I like Poonam

When I meet her, what will I talk?

Not to worry, the poor girl must be in the same quandary

Unacquainted, as strangers,

we try to find rapport,

but there's a question in the heart

Oh, what are we going to talk

Oh, what are we going to talk

New hopes, new joy,

a strange fragrance fills the air..

with the coming of someone for whom I have waited with all my heart

Oh, what are we going to talk!

Oh, what are we going to talk

Krishnakant basically belongs to Som Sarovar

Som Sarovar, where grapes grow? - Exactly

Sister-in-law hails from Bhopal.

- My in-laws are also from near Bhopal

Please.. have some.

- You should sit here

And talk to Prem

Please sit.

What's this restlessness..

I feel today?

The way I feel today..

never was I in this state of mind before

Eyes looking out.. for her alone

This beauty is for him alone

The one I pictured,

I'm about to see

The storm is turning into a tempest.

Oh, what are we going to talk

Oh, what are we going to talk

Like an icon of beauty descended from skies,

has she come only for me,

in such splendor?

I know he's hiding his looks..

stealing furtive glances only at me

Unspoken words upon my frozen lips

Did my heart miss a beat?

Tomorrow's lovers, what are they going to talk today?

Oh, what are we going to talk

Meet Poonam, say hello

Say hello to Aunt.. say hello!

Hello

Hello..

Krishnakant, we have met Poonam.

Now with your permission..

Iet Prem and Poonam talk to each other to get to know each other's minds

Bhavna, please

Have we come to sit on the swing? - No!

We've come to talk.

- We couldn't talk downstairs?

Your Uncle and aunt want to talk here.

- Then what are we doing here?

Rahul! No more questions

Hi, I'm Prem.

- My name's Rajni, you can call me Chhoti

If the two of you get going, then I'm your sister-in-law

Please..

Sit, Poonam. - Please sit

Sister-in-law, sit. - You sit

Why is no one sitting?

Chhoti, we're being formal and crowding..

..over the ones who want privacy

So put down the tea tray and let's go

Okay Prem, Poonam.

All the best.

- They got exams?

I'm not too sure that I know what we should be talking right now

We're meant to take a decision about the next step in our lives

But before we have discussed our past, how can we think about our future?

Schooling and college in Delhi ; then for about a year, I went abroad

Studied journalism, literature..

basically, trying to discover myself

My brother says, I'm too emotional .. in business matters

He calls me Bholu, a Simple Simon

In college, I took a liking for a girl..

my classmate.. used to sit on the desk in front of me

Several times, I felt like making conversation, but I never had the guts

And it was just as well, later I found out..

she had two boyfriends already

I even tried smoking, with friends

But when Sister-in-law caught me smoking..

..I promised her never to smoke or drink

I have never spoken of these things even with my Papa.

But, I don't know why,

I felt I had to tell you

I'm told you like reading.. which books are your favorites?

Saratchandra's Parineeta, Swami

Rabindranath's Atithi, Samapti

All in Hindi, right?

Their English translations are excellent too

Do you also read spiritual books? I mean..

The divine..?

Yes.. you read them?

Do you believe in prayer?

I mean, you trust, He'll give what you seek?

Do you believe in it?

Some things one has total faith in

You can ask me whatever you wish

The tea has gone cold. Another cup..? - No, thanks

You have no question at all?

About that girl, maybe?

I've all the answers

If you wish, we can meet again, once or twice..?

Well then, shall we..?

So?

Oh.. so..

Is that a yes?

I think.. - It's on your face, Bholu, it's a yes

Sister-in-law..

Listen.. one second! Listen..

I think we should meet again, once or twice, for her sake

How chivalrous!

Papa.. yes

Really?

Where's Prem?

Congratulations! - Thanks

Harishchandra, my compliments

Please be seated

Krishnakant, from our side, it's a yes

Please ask Poonam as well and if she says yes,

then at the earliest, I want her as my daughter-in-law

Bitto, Chhoti.. from their side it's a yes

Bitto, what's your decision?

- Babuji, it's a yes

You asked whatever you wanted to find out?

You want to meet him again, once or twice?

Sister was saying, he's just like you, Babuji

Silly girl

Harishchandra.. please..

- Thank you

You will sit too

Where is your sherbet? - I'll help myself

Sir, Sister-in-law wants to see you

Excuse me..

Yes?

They have come prepared, they want the engagement done today!

Before committing an alliance with so rich a family, talk about dowry

I won't let you squander all we have, our daughter is yet to marry

Really Rama, sometimes you exceed the limits

Krishnakant, may I come in?

Harishchandra..?

Come in, do come..

I beg your pardon for the intrusion,

but now that two families are uniting..

..I'd prefer we kept nothing from each other

Please, have no doubts

Give Prem a token of one rupee and a coconut..

..and accept him into your family

We want Poonam and nothing else

The world's best couple

Aunt, smile.

- Not Aunt. Call her Aunty

How did this Aunt become my Aunty?

Your Uncle likes her so much, what to do?

Kindly let it come.. that's it

Papa, the cars are waiting..

- Sure.. Iet's go

For you

Chocolates? - Yes

Aunty, coming to Delhi?

Aunty will come later

My respects, Uncle. - Bless you

Bless you, Bhavna

Just call me Bhavna

Ah, the littlest one in the family!

You and I haven't even gotten talking

Harishchandra, a little request

If all of you may spare a few days to visit us in Som Sarovar,

we have a little house there ; a few days together, would be very nice

Whenever you wish, Krishnakant.

We're looking for excuses to meet Poonam,

what with the astrologer fixing a marriage date after six months

Sister-in-law, give the astrologer a nice meal..

..ask him to fix a nearer date

Then.. Som Sarovar next month?

- Hundred percent

Good night. - Good night

You aren't one of the brides people, you're coming with us

Oh, I forgot!

- You'll accompany the bridegroom

Correct! - Bhagat will be here with us,

to welcome the bridegroom.

- That's also correct

How can both be correct?

The way it is, I've an invitation from either side..

..so there's no stopping me

Bridegroom arrives, I'm here to welcome him.

Bride leaves, I'll escort her

Correct proposition?

- Likely.. but, are you ditching us?

Sister, one minute!

What is it? - Just come

Chhoti.. the guests are leaving

Hush

Jija, now you owe me one ( Jija : Brother-in-law)

Krishnakant Villa Som Sarovar

Yes Harishchandra, we have reached Som Sarovar

When can we expect you?

Oh.. take left from the bus depot.

Metaled roads, it's a comfortable drive

Okay.

We're waiting for you

You're welcome

Bless you

How would the weather be in Som Sarovar? (He speaks in chaste Hindi)

Bravo!

Already talking Poonam-style?

Oh Sister!

Sister come quickly, they're here

Oh Sister,

how will you address him,

the one who'll come to marry you?

Oh Sister,

how will you address him,

the one who'll come to marry you?

Coy words are out of question..

I will use sign language..

Coy words are out of question..

I will use sign language..

Unlike others,

our communication will be special

80 kilometers to journey's end? (He speaks in chaste Hindi)

Marriage is like the 'laddoo' from Delhi

All want to taste it

Every facet of it is lovely

If you marry, you suffer

If you don't, you suffer

Might as well marry and suffer

This 'laddoo' you will get too,

the day someone will come for you

Everyone's invited to Som Sarovar !

Holidaying together..

and I get to do the chores

Why are you getting agitated ?

I'll make the sweets

You relax

Is it a song or an act?

To take your mind off things?

Your eyes are upon the street

Oh Chhoti, you're too naughty,

stop being such a tease

I'm only busy watering

Let Jija arrive, I'll tell him all about your state of mind

Bitto, come

Water

Krishnakant, remain seated

Put the tray down

We'll help ourselves.

We haven't come here as guests

Son, drink

Water

When you have a cold,

you ought not to drink iced water

Come.. - How nice

Dinner

Come son

Our little family member, you too!

Wow Grandpa, little-little dining tables?

For you, a special little one

Come. Come.

Sit

Please serve him his special dish

I'll serve them

Papa, Aunty is a fantastic cook

The garnishing proportions are on her fingertips, I was stunned

Sister-in-law, he is a lucky man

Sunil Babu, no more helpings?

I'm doing fine

He's missing his evening newspaper!

Poonam has cooked the curry today. - Really?

Please, may I have some more?

Uncle, for your sake, Sister used very little chili

She cooks a spicy spread. - Good good

No, thanks

Poonam, I've told Krishnakant, you may continue your studies in Delhi

Afterwards, if you wish, you can attend our offices

Until Rahul was born, Bhavna went to the office everyday

I think girls prove better administrators

What!

Krishnakant, I heard.. you aren't staying with us tonight?

We'll use the quarters, nearby.

You won't find it inconvenient here

Papa, it's just so that we can have all the three big rooms to ourselves

No, not really

Beddings in place, make it quick

Grandpa, I'll sleep here. - Right on

Prem, get more mattresses. - Yes, Papa

You see, I can manage..

- Rahul, make him to sit down

No, please hear me out. - Be seated

Everyone listen

Gents sleep in this room, the ladies in there

Prem put mine right next to his, I'll lecture him all night

Sit

Oh no, lights out? - Up again? Sit down, Krishnakant

Can l.. carry some?

Every morning, my uncle drinks water from the copper tumbler..

..it's good for health

That must be your aunt's book? - Yes

Thank you

What for?

Aren't your uncle and aunt.. mine too?

For you.. a gift

Can we meet tomorrow?

If you say so.. Sister-in-law can arrange it

Nothing like a morning walk, much to gain out of little effort

Like big profits out of small capital, your knee pain will vanish

Boys, faster please

What's the matter? - You carry on

He'll be here in a minute.. see!

What about our meeting?

What's the hurry?

Until then, take some exercise

It's the vegetable market area, so shops open early

A smell of freshly-cooked jalebis!

- Milk and jalebis for breakfast?

Steaming hot jalebis. - Sit here

Two minutes.. Jalebis in milk.

- Are you serving us again!

Sit! - Great taste, try it

Sister-in-law, get him to talk to Papa (Sister-in-law : sister-in-law)

Go

Bhavna? - Go!

Have some more, Rama.

- Don't plead with her, feed her

Dad? - Yes?

What's our day's plan?

- We're seeing the vineyards

Children, if you haven't seen the vineyards here, you've seen nothing

So, like I was saying.. - Dad..

Yes? - Rahul wanted to see the lake

What lake?

Can we go?

Rahul wants to go? Then go

Aunty, can we take Poonam and Chhoti along?

Sure

Wonderful! He worked a miracle!

Too good.

Sister-in-law, can you believe it, my brother did it!

Snatch the newspaper out of his hands and in Uncle Bhagat's words..

he's the world's best husband

No.. the other one

This one

It's lovely watching them together, like this

He's so busy at work, he hardly has time for her

Out here, they're having a lovely holiday.. thanks to you

Did you like the gift? - Very much

Sister-in-law and I scoured the malls for a whole day..

..till we found the necklace

You haven't worn it?

May I wear it after the wedding?

In Madhupur, we live simply

Wearing such an expensive gift there, I'd feel a little uncomfortable

No, it's okay. I understand

Poonam, you just spoke your heart and you said it so frankly,

it felt wonderful

Maybe it's this honesty, that's to be the cornerstone of our relationship

With the same honesty, if I were to give you another gift,

and if you think it's right..

..will you wear it?

Turning defeat into victory..

With great honesty..

Love has cast it's effect..

On the heart..

Today there is no question of..

Any denial..

if not diamonds,

So little said, so much remains ;

a little shower, I wait for rains,

to dance like a peacock in rain, my heart yearns..

to dance like a peacock in rain, my heart yearns..

a little wait.. that's it..

a little wait.. that's it

So little said, so much remains ;

a little shower, I wait for rains,

Prem, spot

Prem, hit her! Or, they'll win

Hit

Get her.. why don't you take her out?

a little wait.. that's it

a little wait.. that's it

This is sheer bliss. It'd do good for Poonam..

..and Prem to visit all the temples

Radha-Krishna must've met in these valleys, somewhere

The fragrance of their romance still lurks in the air

In divine presence, we find ourselves..

drawn nearer..

In divine presence, we find ourselves..

drawn nearer..

A heart's exchange done, I've still to shower so many gifts

A little shower, I wait for rains

Everyone seems to be helping our union

Everyone seems to be helping our union

A little wait.. that's it

A little wait.. that's it

Bhavna..

Bhavna, what are you up to? - What's up?

Look what's there! - What?

Don't worry, I came for the towel

Enchanting waterfalls' lovelores..

entice me into sweet dreams of tomorrows..

awakening for the first time, new stirrings within me

I feel new emotions stirring within

A lifetime of our days and nights remain,

a little shower, I wait for rains

I can feel the tug of monsoon winds

I can feel the tug of monsoon winds upon my heartstrings

A little wait.. that's it

A little wait.. that's it

Yes, Zurich called?

What did they have to say?

Really? Meeting confirmed?

No, no.. that's good news

Get the legal department to draw up the contracts.

We'll be in Delhi tomorrow

But the Swiss clients are due next week?

Now they're expected day after tomorrow

And our entire board must be present during the signing of the contract

So, we leave tomorrow

Time has passed by so quickly..

Should I say something Poonam,

this spell between engagement and marriage is amazing

These moments between you and..

..Prem will be the most memorable of your lives,

mark my words

Hey Rahul, come here

Aunty..

Uncle wants water

You wanted to say something?

Poonam, tonight.. after dinner..

for a while.. will you come to the terrace?

If you think, it's right.. only then

Wow! Well done Sister-in-law.

- You are winning all the games.

Can I sleep on the terrace with Uncle?

We leave early tomorrow, don't forget

Chhoti, where's the saffroned milk?

- Sister is bringing it

Wish I could read..

the language of her eyes

My heart falters..

in doubts of hope and despair

Worse, this menacing..

solitude, my love

Patience..

comes, she comes

She could not stop herself..

from coming

Your coming..

is like the waking of Moons, my love

We laced the milk with saffron for dessert..

I thought you might like it

It gets chilly here, in the nights

For once I thought, you wouldn't come

Everyone was sitting together, talking, I just couldn't leave

No one knows that you've come here?

Chhoti knows, she told everyone that I've gone off to sleep

If someone finds out you aren't there.. then?

Chhoti has propped up pillows and thrown a blanket over them

All this.. just because I asked you to come?

I wanted to come

Why did I take so long to realize this, Poonam?

I even missed seeing.. you've worn that necklace for me tonight

Do you know Poonam,

since I came to Som Sarovar, I've been wanting to call you to the terrace

But every time, I held back

I wish I'd known that I had the right to call you anytime

But what a time to come to know,

when it's time..

to go

Poonam, people spend lifetimes looking for love

Today, I look in wonderment at this custom of marriage..

in which, that love has come to me, as a gift

Suddenly I become so special to someone,

what I eat, what I wear, suddenly is more important..

to somebody else than me, myself.

Suddenly you and l..

I have the right..

to this liberty of beholding your beauty to my heart's content,

of gazing upon you, in endless love

My love..

My love..

my heart calls out in answer..

You have the right

You have the right

You have the right

Darkening, melting, the night is slowly deepening..

giving in to love's music ; a romance, slowly blossoming

In the music of my bangles, what is the lyric, my love?

What message does the language of my bangles speak?

To keep you awake all night,

I have the right

to steal upon your beauty,

I have the right

My love..

My love..

my heart calls out in answer

You have the right

You have the right

You have the right

Poonam, how do you come to know these smallest things about me?

How did you find out about my cold?

Whenever you get a cold, you do this..

How?

Do it again

Tomorrow time will distance us,

but not for a moment, shall I be able to forget you

Your face, your smile,

in memories of your beautiful face, your endearing smile..

to suffer in your absence, I have the right

To yearn to meet you, I have the right

My love..

My love..

my heart calls out in answer..

you have the right

You have the right

You have the right

I have the right

You have the right

Rahul, quickly get inside the car

Got to leave..

Five months on, there'll be no need to make excuses about water

4 months, 2 weeks and 2 days, our wedding's that far away

Until then, I cannot ask you to keep this mobile phone to talk up,

because you'll consider it improper

All-day-chat on the net is out,

so like nice boys do, I'll write you a bunch of letters

And yes, I'll dial you up on your ancestral black phone

Listen,

stay away from anything icy.

You just got over a nasty cold

Not even cold water

Anything else?

Prem, hurry.

We'll get late

My love..

My love..

my heart calls out to you..

I have the right

I have the right

I have the right

Good morning, Aunt Maria

Congratulations Prem, you've been given a promotion,

from factory to office.

- Thank you and look what I've got..

only for you.. from Som Sarovar, delicious and wholesome grapes

A simple gift, I hope you will accept accept and.. (ln chaste Hindi)

Not to get stuck, Hindi is a very kind language,

you're free to use words from any other language

Accept and please oblige. - Thank you

That's the way Prem, first in the office, sharp at 9 am

Engaged to marry, now work, only work

Concentrate, focus

Munim, let's start making preparations for the wedding right away

Go to Mr Joshi, talk to the tent-makers.

- Sure

We'll put up the bridegroom's party in Bansilal's hotel, not at Temple-lnn

Birju, this task is yours. - Done

Look, we should leave nothing undone

And Bitto, compile the list of invitees on the computer, quickly

The job of painting the house should be done in time

Not in a marriage-hall.. we're having the wedding at home

They're coming from Delhi.

- We'll do a good job

Take a look around

Back from college?

I was waiting for you

Of these silver coins, which looks nice?..

.. I want to give every guest a memento

I know Sister's choice. This one

Great! It's my choice too

You too make a choice, Rama

Why do you even have to ask me, give everything away

Maa, why do you always talk like that ?

Babuji only wants your opinion

Don't you dare talk back at me

Bitto.. get along with what you got to do

The kind of wedding you're dreaming of, do you know what it'll cost?

Yes, I know

Relatives we haven't seen in years, are being invited

Confectioners, musicians, florists, being called in from all over,

Iike you've nothing to look at beyond this wedding

My brother and his wife's every dream will come true

You remember only their dreams

Do you remember, even your daughter is waiting to get married?

I've spoken about Chhoti to so many people

But because she is dark, I find no suitors

Worse now, if we can't provide for her dowry, then she's had it

But why would you worry for that?

To pay for Poonam's wedding you pawned off our Som Sarovar house

Now, sell even this house if you will!

Who is it?

Bitto?

What happened, my child?

I don't want to marry

Bitto.. what are you saying?

Come and sit here

Sit.. what's the matter?

Uncle..

Uncle..

..you built brick by brick..

the house in Som Sarovar

And you have mortgaged it for this wedding?

Chhoti is yet to marry! I'll never be able to forgive myself

Chhoti will have just as fine a wedding..

I give you my word

For every father, a daughter's wedding is..

.. a celebration of a great wish come true

Will you not let my wish come true?

Listen.. a letter from Harishchandra has arrived

You want to hear it?

One second

He writes,

With great pleasure, I remember staying with you at Som Sarovar

In Madhupur, we became related.

In Som Sarovar, we struck a friendship

In terms of relationships, such a quick promotion

All credit goes to your endearing nature

Having known you, I can tell with conviction,

that you have already embarked upon the preparations for the wedding

A thousand responsibilities entail in a daughter's wedding

Have no worries of any sort, we are one family

Bitto, when you have such a fine father-in-law, what's my worry?

Now, one little smile

I have good news for you

In today's mail, perhaps..

there's a letter for you

Bitto, someone far away.. is waiting for you, weaving dreams

Go on.. fill in the colors

It's four in the morning and I've no sleep

I reach the office before anyone else

But it's another matter that I am not able to do any work

But today, I put in lots of hard work,..

.. matching color schemes for each costume..

we'll wear for our wedding ceremonies the soiree, reception, dinners

I had coffees after coffee to stay fresh

But the only things that remain fresh, are memories of you

Poonam, I can't tell the source of this enthusiasm,

but I'm propelled to achieve in life,..

.. to prove myself worthy, for your sake

Coming, coming

Bitto, your phone

Who is it?

Perhaps.. a friend

Birjoo. Hey, Birjoo

Guess what happened, just guess

Half an hour ago, we were in a meeting, me, my brother, the managers

A Japanese multinational corporation has offered us a deal,

a new line of business.

It'll be a great thing for our organization

They want us in Tokyo next week, with the project reports

My brother is busy with the clients from Switzerland

And Papa is out of station, so who is to be sent

I'm off to Japan next week and there's lots of work,

no time to talk. Bye

Birjoo.. Birjoo

What happened?

At today's meeting..

Project report will be ready in 3 days.

Let's book flight tickets for Monday

I'm thinking, Ms Poonam..

I mean.. Ms Pooja, it would be nice if you and Mr Manohar..

can join me on this trip

Brother, is it necessary to send the papers to our auditors..

in Madhupur.. I mean, Mumbai

No.. it won't be necessary

Yes, of course

Excuse me

You're laughing!

I'll never talk to you again

Sister, you've upset him

Stop the rickshaw.

- Go and call him now

You drank chilled water again?

Yes

Why?

I'm coming to see you

What?

Yes, right away

Stop

It's a big project, is that why you're afraid?

Poonam, if I do not succeed..

will it affect your love for me?

How can you not succeed?

In legal matters, business, I never had an aptitude

Everyone seems to be more experienced than I am.. more capable

You'll surely succeed

And you know, when you return a victor,

everyone will be waiting with garlands at the airport, to welcome you

How can you speak with such confidence?

I know you

It seems, you know me better than I know myself

I'll pray for you

Say it again

I'll pray for you

I'm leaving in 3 days

For a month, no phone calls, no letters

Be prepared

I accept. Anything else?

You are here?

Everyone's waiting for you, for the meeting

Go.. I love you dearly

Awake.. at this hour?

I have the right

Waiting for someone gives such pleasure?

That only a woman's heart would know

Ready to leave?

Yes

Once I'm there, I think I'll grow a beard for..

.. folks to take me more seriously

That won't be necessary

Can I shout?

Most welcome

I love you

Rama, Agra was the right place to go.

We got the musicians, also confectioners

The same confectioner, whom you favor too

Everyone will land up two or three days before the wedding

Imagine in less than two months, Bitto will be a bride

Aunty, you asked for me?

Yes.. sit

Look, very soon you'll be married ..

you'll enter another family

That will be your home

As we know, your Uncle is very attached to you

Obviously, when you leave, he will miss you dearly

So it's time you began to distance yourself from him

When your Uncle goes out, Chhoti can also give him his shawl, no?

Yes Aunty

Why ask me to give the shawl to Babuji?

Because I wish you would

No, because Maa wishes it

Sister, your getting married doesn't mean you must break all bonds

It's your home no more, that's what Maa is implying?

You'll be the one taking care of all these things, after I'm gone

Yes, but after you're gone, Sister.

Why from now itself?

Because, while I'm still here, my Chhoti must pick up everything from me

Take.. it's time for Uncle to visit the temple

Babuji..

Chhoti.. how come you've brought my shawl?

Sister is ironing clothes. - Okay..

Bitto usually wraps it around like this..

Poonam, books from your schooldays are..

.. still in the room you share with Chhoti

Select the stuff you want to take along..

..the rest we'll have to dispose off

Chhoti needs more space in the room to herself

Girls' College, Madhupur

Here you are Poonam,

transfer papers for your Delhi college

Thank you Ma'am

Sister, quick!

It's a call from Delhi

Sunil Babu, my heartiest compliments!

One second, one second..

Prem Babu's Japan tour

is a great success

Yes Sunil Babu, tell us more

Uncle, you can't imagine!

Prem has outdone his peers

He has closed the deal early.

He will be back by the morning flight

He's returning tomorrow morning?

Uncle I have a request

We'd like to have Poonam with us, when

we receive Prem at the airport tomorrow

Prem would be happily surprised

Certainly, Sunil Babu.

Poonam will be there to share your joys

Fine

I'll send the car tomorrow morning

Come on Bitto,

your palanquin's here from Delhi

Good morning

Our wedding day..

Our wedding day..

is four weeks away,

each week seems like hundred years

How can I endure this torture,

I can't wait for even a day longer

Right now..

give me today itself,

your lovely caress, my dear

Poonam..

my love

Oh Poonam.. oh my love

You want something, sir?

When I look down, I find oceans of you

Then I look up to see, skies full of you

I'm so eager

For a re-union, I'm eager

but the plane's too slow, by far

If I could, I would

Iand this plane on her roof..

and enjoy the pampering of her folks

for a full month

I'll return with her,

return with her,

the one whose sole-rightful lover I am

Oh Poonam..

my love

Oh Poonam.. oh my love

You want to go in?

Excuse me

Excuse me.. tea, coffee?

To every fellow traveler,

all I got to say..

wherever you go, with you always,

Iet your sweetheart stay

Alas! Moments of loneliness

Even a moment's separation..

I can bear no longer

I wish Destiny..

makes one little favor..

sends her to..

to.. Delhi airport for me

And when I see her,

oh what wondrous surprise it'd be

to find her there in front of me..

it'd make me scream so heartily..

Ho Poonam, ho!

You are my love, ho!

Oh Poonam.. oh my love

Our wedding day..

our wedding is,

just four weeks away

Where months have passed,

these days will fly too

Then I won't make you pine,

I won't make you suffer

Just a little wait..

all your wishes..

will come true..

in my embrace,

my darling,

my love

my darling,..my love

Fasten your seat-belt, sir

My wedding day..

is still four long weeks away

There's Uncle

Come.. come

The whole office is out in force,

to congratulate you

Uncle..

- Bless you, son

Congratulations, many congratulations

Brother.. has Uncle come alone?

Yes.. was someone else expected?

- No..

Let's all proceed towards home

Get in

Sister-in-law is that really Poonam..?

- Touch her to find out

I can't believe this!

When did Poonam come in,

when did you plan all this?

It was his idea, to ask Poonam over.

- What an idea, brother!

Where are thy lotus feet?

At thy lotus feet I shall bow and..

Exult? (ln chaste Hindi)

- Exactly!

Desist, first return to your place

And with your fianc�e, engage in

polite conversation (.. in chaste Hindi)

Indeed

Indeed.. Oh, I just love this language.

- Joker

Papa is throwing a party at home,

to felicitate you..

and also because Poonam

is here for the first time

Welcome.. how are you?

Prem's father-in-law

Friends, I'm on cloud nine

My son has achieved this

on his own merit

The glow you see on his face is nothing

but the reflection of my heartfelt joy

For his success, my joys,

the credit goes to someone..

who is visiting us for the first time

.. my new daughter-in-law

In eating, our Krishnakant

is the world's most bashful

More pakodas for him.

- Enough

Krishnakant, we know,

it's your favorite. Poonam, serve there

You cannot refuse now..

my daughter-in-law is serving you

Papa, how about giving Poonam

a tour of the house before she leaves?

Sure, take her

Come, Poonam

Poonam, after our wedding, this will be our room

In Som Sarovar, I snapped the portraits of your uncle and aunt..

especially for this side-table.

You know Poonam, sometimes I think..

What happened?

Nothing

So, what were you thinking?

Must we speak always and only about what I think, what I feel?

What you think, you feel, is also vital

We're companions, Poonam

Today, while serving Uncle, I got so emotional,

I had to hold back my tears

Poonam, I brought you here..

to show you my new cupboard, my writing table, my new computer..

without a thought, that your cupboard, writing table, even your surname..

you'll be leaving behind.. for my sake

For our sakes

Poonam, I've just decided!

Every year we'll spend one month in Madhupur

If anyone ridicules me for living with my in-laws, I don't care

I hear..

in the countdown to the wedding date, girls go crazy about shedding weight?

No crash diets for you. 10-15 kilos here or there, is no issue

Can you imagine what will happen when you arrive riding a mare to wed me?

What?

The bread is likely to get burnt in the ovens of our neighbors' homes

Why?

Every girl will be on her terrace, vying to take a peek at the bridegroom

Poonam, time to go

Yes, Sister-in-law

Sister-in-law, just two minutes.. please

All right, make it quick

How much will they talk?

- Shh.. come on

Poonam, my heart knows, l don't want to let you go

I want to show you around Delhi, to take you places with me

But we'll wait, as even you consider it proper

And in a way, what's proper is so right

The night, when you enter this room as my bride, will be so right..

that the Moon, the stars out there will come down, to witness our union

And they will carry our legend to every couple who marry after us

On our perfect night, let only the Moonlight shine..

upon the world's prettiest girl, who by then, would be mine..

for ever

Is it true Poonam that you will always be so close to my heart?

Am I really going to be the lucky one, you'll gift your days and nights to?

A few things for you, a few things for the household

Give it to Aunty, she'll understand. - Sure, Sister-in-law

Bless you

Return soon

This household, all of us here.. are waiting for you

Uncle Bhagat..

isn't there a custom to escort the lady? - Should be..

shall I ask your father-in-law? Let me..

- No, what are you doing!

Uncle.. for Aunty, a video disc of today's party

My respects Uncle. - Bless you, son

Prem, isn't Uncle getting late? (ln chaste Hindi)

Turn the air-conditioning vent sideways, not a direct blast

Someone was once my little darling..

she was like a soft jasmine bud

Someone was once my little darling..

she was like a soft jasmine bud

Mama, look.. Sister is looking so radiant

Whose borders were from home to the street..

Is she the same girl..

Rama, I was listing the items we'll give to Poonam,

the things she will need, clothes, jewelry. And listen..

half the jewelry I retrieved after I paid my..

.. brother's debts, goes with Poonam

Give it to me, I got to get it polished

There's no need to give away old jewelry

Here's the jewelry that Mr Bhagat made for this wedding.

This is enough

What do you mean?

Maybe you didn't notice that diamond set worth millions?

Your darling niece was made to wear it by her in-laws for the party in Delhi

If she doesn't wear your jewelry worth some..

.. thousands, her beauty won't be marred

Leave the old jewelry for Chhoti

Rama, do not forget.. that jewelry belonged to my brother

Not mere ornaments, they're symbolic of his blessings for her

What he pawned, was his.

What we retrieved, belongs to us

Is Poonam not one of us?

I've said what I had to say

You're going overboard with this wedding

About the jewelry, if you force your whim,..

.. I'll have nothing to do with this wedding

Rama, in this family we've two daughters..

.. and they have equal right to all we have

And Poonam is my elder daughter, whether you like it or not

Then so be it

Here's the jewelry

Here are the keys.

Do what you want

Rama!

Sorry Aunty.. some gifts from Delhi, if you'll take a look..

I know!

Your in-laws are filthy rich and you needn't show it off in my face

Show it to the one who ought to know!

I've nothing to do with this wedding

The florist is arriving from Delhi by the ten o'clock train

Get to the station to bring him here

Welcome Bhagat

I'm here now, what can I do to help?

- Your presence is enough

I've brought you Poonam's wedding dress from her in-laws

Here you are..

Two days from now,

as the clock strikes this hour, you'll be giving your daughter away

Aunty, the keys to my cupboard

There are so many things inside..

Chhoti, could use them

Aunty, if I have ever done anything to hurt you..

please forgive me

Poonam..

before you leave..

shut the door

Take it easy, one at a time

Tell them Sister-in-law, please.

- Sure. Please, don't harass him

Wait.. what's the purpose of this make up?

To make you look worthy enough for your pretty wife-to-be

Really? Then let's have some more here.. and here.. and here

Naughty

May the henna turn a lovely crimson on your hands, o'bride

And fetch to you, your lover forever

Of many fortunes the henna begets, the most precious is.. eternal love

Is this all right..?

It's the fourth time you've tried it.

Hurry, I got to finish packing

Else, the bridegroom's party will leave without the bridegroom

Come Sister-in-law, I'll paint your hands with henna

Sister-in-law.. come, join us

This ritual is too painfully long for me

We sing glories of the Daughter of the hills,

whose beauty holds Shiva enthralled

Today we seek Gauri Maa's blessings,

who revels in Shiva's love forever

Oh Goddess, You are resplendent in vermilion,

Oh Goddess, You are resplendent in vermilion,

You wear the bride's reds, Your palms adorned in crimson henna

red is Your veil ; redden vermilion streaks Your hair,

the red dot on Your forehead, fragrant with musk

We pray to You, pour our emotions to You

Krishnakant, the rituals have begun, but I don't see Sister-in-law..?

I'll fetch her

O Giver of every wish,

Keep the bride happy always

Hail Gauri Mother.

Hail Gauri Mother..

What is it? Is it the pain in the knee again?

Massage it with the balm

Rama, you did not even look at Poonam's wedding dress ; I said nothing

You didn't participate in any of the wedding rituals ; I said nothing

But Rama tomorrow..

tomorrow, Bitto will be leaving this house forever

Tomorrow, the bridegroom's party will come to our door, just like this,

with a band playing songs of joy

Give the bride a happy send-off, Rama

Rama you know this, as I know

If she is denied your blessings, it won't be a happy send-off for her

For once, forget all else Rama,

for the sake of Poonam's happiness,

Iet her depart with the belief that her mother has blessed her way

All her life, she has yearned for that one smile of yours

It's for the child's joy ; even if we do something..

.. we dislike, we won't lose face

But why such resentment, because she isn't your daughter?

Better, you do not hear the reply

Remember Rama..?

Whenever your knee was in pain, it was Poonam giving you a massage

Enough

Today, you refuse to acknowledge her. But mind you, when she leaves us..

you will cry the most

I am your Mother,

you are my daughter

Our bond..

forever,

holds us together

In this home, you shall never be a stranger..

though you go to make another home for yourself

In both homes, truly..

you'll belong forever

Make sure you're done with making the sweets tonight..

we're cooking for 400 guests,

there should be no shortages.. the guests are coming from Delhi

Chhote Babu..

Chhote Babu.. fire!

The house is on fire

Chhote Babu..

Fire!

It's a fire! - Everyone.. out!

Out.. everyone outside

Hurry!

But how did all this.. - All questions later..

Get out, first

Water! Douse the fire!

Quick.. more water! Hurry!

Bhagat! Where are Chhoti and Bitto?

- Chhoti and Bitto..?

Somebody save the bride!

Bitto!

Uncle

Don't panic..

walk to the door

Stay back

Quick!

Your wedding dress?

Make way for the bride

Where is Chhoti.. where is Chhoti?

She must be inside..?

- No, she isn't.. go find her

Chhoti..?

Chhoti..!

Munim.. Chhoti..? - I've no idea

Listen.. I think I saw her going up the stairs

Listen.. Bitto.. wait!

Where are you going, Bitto?

Stop

Krishnakant.. Krishnakant..

Chhoti

Chhoti

Sister

Leave me!

Chhoti.. Chhoti..

Aunty,

Aunty,

Chhoti is fine,

she's all right

Poonam

Chhoti!

Call Dr Rashid, a burns case is here

The patient has severe burns, Doctor. - Okay, let's go

Excuse me.. who's the patient's father?

Yes..?

Please come

Sit

The patient has approximately 40 percent superficial to deep burns,

third degree burns included

Luckily, her face was untouched

Doctor, tomorrow morning, her bridegroom is arriving

It is Poonam's wedding tomorrow

About half of her body is burnt,

the wounds are deep

A wedding tomorrow is out of question

Forgive me for saying.. in such cases even families abandon their own,

Iesser said the better.. for someone who promised to marry her

Just now, your daughter is fighting for her life

Tomorrow morning, as soon as possible, we must go in for a major surgery

Now, if you will excuse me, I must discuss the case with my team

Krishnakant,

by now, Prem must be starting out

We ought to inform..

Harishchandra quickly! Please

Sir.. Bhagat

Yes Bhagat?

Harishchandra, don't come here now..

What happened, Papa?

Excuse me

Bhavna, one minute. - What is it?

What's the matter Sister-in-law?

While we are getting ready for surgery one of you may meet the patient

Doctor,

can I see Sister.. even from far? Please

Okay, please wait

Uncle

Is Chhoti well, Uncle?

Nothing can harm Chhoti

No fire can hurt Chhoti

Tell Aunty, nothing can harm Chhoti

Chhoti.. Uncle..

Look Rama, the bridegroom has arrived for Poonam

Look at her palanquin, so gaily decorated

Just a while now, then she will be gone

Didn't I tell you, you'll cry the most

It was her beauty that always pained your eyes,

so much so, you wouldn't even look at her

Look Rama, for our Chhoti's sake, she has sacrificed her beauty

Sacrificed her beauty

Doctor, after the operation, Poonam will recover fully, won't she?

Right now, nothing can be said, it's a very delicate case

There's more to recovery than the healing of wounds

In such cases, one loses self-confidence

And the pain in burning..

you and I cannot imagine, what that pain is like

Krishnakant, we're all ready for Poonam's operation

It's a major surgery

I have informed you of the complications in this case

Your permission is necessary

We will try our best

Two days from now..

as the clock strikes this hour, you'll be giving your daughter away

Uncle

I will sign

The wedding will happen today

Now,

at the appointed time,

I seek your permission

No son,

your emotions are far-removed from the reality of things

You will not be able to see her in pain

The girl in pain is not only your daughter,

she's also our daughter-in-law

The best surgeons from Delhi will be here soon

Poonam's well-being is now our responsibility

Be seated

Sunil.. - Papa..?

Come with me.

Let's meet Dr Rashid

May I meet Poonam, Uncle?

Poonam

Everything will be fine, Poonam

Look, what Sister-in-law has sent..

vermilion for my bride

It's our wedding today, Poonam

Sister, leave us alone for two minutes, please

Once.. there was a pretty girl who had a right to that vermilion

Today's ugly truth..

Iies under this canopy

Neither am I unawares of truths Poonam,..

.. nor are you a stranger to my intentions

If you want my love for you to diminish at this sight of you..

that is inconceivable, Poonam

You always prayed for me Poonam and your prayers were always answered

Today again.. please pray for me,

pray, that I find the strength within me, to never let your faith weaken

You are my companion, Poonam..

my most beautiful one,

the one who's always worried, lest I catch a cold

One who cares about what I eat, what I wear, more than I myself

The one who knows me more than I know myself

On our wedding day, l want from you.. a gift

Give me all your pain

Before the auspicious moment goes by,

Iet the rituals be done

Let there be no distance..

between the vermilion and your forehead

This is the wedding altar, the sacred fire,

the festive home

At this wedding altar,

in God's presence,

in this festive home..

to anoint you with vermilion..

I have the right

I take you as my bride, I have the right

Stop

For once, take off the covers, look at what I've become

My love doesn't deserve this test, Poonam

And you know it

Sweets, for everyone. - Thank you, sir

Mr Prem,

in this hospital, so far..

we've only seen.. brides tortured, burnt for dowry

Today, for the first time ever, here..

we've seen someone becoming a bride

This is Dr Jain, a dear friend.

Also, a famous burns specialist

And his team.. this is Dr Rashid

We're here to help you in any manner we can

You're most welcome, sir.

It's an honor to have you here

We've a battle waiting to be won

Take the new bride to the operation theater, please

Please come, Doctor

Uncle, tea

No.. - We'll share

Why are you worrying, Krishnakant?

He is doing the worrying for us. You drink your tea

Thank you so much, Doctor. Congratulations

Doctor, how is she?

Operation successful

After 48 hours, when bandages come off, we'll know the exact position

This first battle we have won, Prem

For at least a month and a half, Poonam must stay here

Doctor..

Afterwards, she can go home?

Sure

Okay, until then, our daughter-in-law remains in your charge, Krishnakant

Afterwards, the bridegroom's party is right upon your doors

Got to make him throw us a party, right Doctor?

Right

Bride's father

Time heals wounds..

it's true for sure ;

but quicker than Time..

Love heals

When your beloved is beside you..

with his healing touch..

a miracle then works..

upon wounds

Come home quickly Poonam, I'm waiting to eat the curry you cook

Poonam, come quickly.

We'll go to Som Sarovar again

I've yet to read up all the newspapers out there

Come soon. We miss you!

- Get well soon

Aunty, smile

Dressing

Give it a final coat of paint, thoroughly

Uncle, now the painting is almost over

Sunil Babu, this has taken so much of your time

Don't embarrass me, Munim

Let me know if I can be of any more service

By God's grace and your help, everything's like it was before

Munim, begin to make preparations for the wedding

The doctor says, tomorrow we can bring Poonam home

Poonam can travel with you to Delhi now and you have Dr Jain over there

About your married life, there won't be any problems either

But I must discuss this with you

It's a bit personal

Prem,

this grafting treatment, in lay terms, plastic surgery,

is not magic

With time, every wound will heal, but their marks will take time to go

Now Poonam will look at herself through your eyes, Prem

I know it, Doctor

Aunty has come to take you home, Poonam

Come home, my child

To your home..

where your mother lives

Look at the bridegroom.. so smart and debonair

He rides his mare, leaving behind his motor car

Handsome as ever..

handsome as ever, he sparkles in his attire

The bride waits at her doorstep, ready to go with him

So come rejoice,

for the joys of new lovers

At your door..

he has come, asking for his bride

Welcome him with love.. Iove so precious, like pearls

Welcome him, let your pleasure and laughter show in your eyes..

welcome him with pride..

for he comes, seeking his bride

The wedding..

this is their sacred wedding

A glorious Rajah of Delhi comes..

to wed the queen of Madhupur

About to culminate is the story of their pure love

About to culminate is the story of their pure love

The flowers of joy have blossomed

'Twas journey upon a difficult path..

for these two loving hearts

he has come, asking for his bride

he has come, asking for his bride

For once last, she walks towards you,

yesterday's little faltering steps, faltering again today..

at crossroads of a father's happiness, there's still parting's pain..

when joy and sorrow mingle, why do they show in tears?

when joy and sorrow mingle, why do they show in tears?

Now Father, bid your goodbyes, send away your daughter

Bid me fond farewells Father, send your dear daughter away forever,

and bless my way

Now she leaves with her husband,

in her bride's palanquin, he carries her away

in her bride's palanquin, he carries her away

Krishnakant, I'm taking home a daughter, not a daughter-in-law

Harishchandra, when fathers of all sons begin to think like you,

daughters will be called their fathers' burdens no more

The moment of submission..

now arrives, o'bride

It's the mirror, it's also the reflection of your mind

He is in the mirror..

mirrored everywhere

The one.. you gave your heart to..

..with him, now become one in body and soul

Tonight, give him every right he deserves

For neither of you..

are strangers any longer

Here comes the moment of submission, o'bride

It's dressing-time, Poonam

I have the right, Poonam

We finally got the happiness we were destined to find

Our night of love has come to us after a test by fire

The Moon and stars will carry our legend to all after us

Tonight, from this benign starlight, let us seek our boon

A lifetime of love and roses, you have the right

An eternity together.. you have the right

My love..

my heart sings your Song of Love

I have the right to look at you..

I have the right to go on looking at you..

Beloved, beloved..

Beloved, beloved, my heart says, you have the right..

You have the right..

This night is slowly fading and melting away slowly..

Love is rising slowly..

What do these distances, say, humming along, beloved..

What do these distances, say, humming along, beloved..

I will keep you awake you this night, I have the right..

I will steal the full moon, I have the right..

Beloved, beloved..

Beloved, beloved, my heart says, you have the right..

You have the right..
