Watch the performance this little one.

This is a street show, of but her life is at stake.

She performs to entertain you.

She is standing on the edge of death for the sake of survival.

Give whatever you wish. Don't refuse.

Children, applaud.

"O my dearest sister!"

"I am your brother, I am your mother"

"I am your father too"

"For the sake of your happiness, I will sacrifice my life"

"O my dearest sister!"

"The moon will put your to sleep, the sun will wake you"

"Sister will adorn herself, brother will hold the mirror"

"Seeing your beautiful face ...

"... I will forget every sorrow"

"O my dearest sister!"

"If I don't see you for a moment, my heart skips a beat"

"Even if your toy breaks, It hits me"

"Whoever tries to hurt you ...

"... I will destroy you"

"I am your brother, I am your mother"

"This bond is forever"

"It is the sacred of all"

"When you get married ..."

"I will bid you adieu with tearful eyes"

"I am your brother, I am your mother"

"O my dearest sister"

Oh God! What a loss!

Hey mister! Did you intend to kill me?

- Can't you see? - You knocked me from behind.

You spilled the milk. I suffered a loss of Rs. 25.

At least compensate it.

You have made it your business to squeeze money.

Hey mister! We are poor but not dishonest.

Get lost

Are you blind? Can't you see?

If I am blind, how can I see?

Who said that?

The second one also shattered.

Now who will pay for this? Your father?!

To get money from my father, you will have to go in heaven.

For that you will have to die.

So why do you want to die?

It's better to give her compensation, or else ...

It's nice.

Give the compensation quickly.

Or I'll thrash both of you.

Here.

Rs. 25 for medical treatment.

Don't you know Kali. Are you new here? He is a winch driver.

He operates the trolley in the power house.

- Where have you come from? - From Nandipur.

We were made us alight because we didn't have money for ticket.

My body is aching and T am also feeling dizzy.

Come to my house.

Go on, eat, aunty.

God bless you, dear.

There was drought in the village.

It was difficult even to get one square meal.

So we came here in search of work.

We are ready to do anything. But we don't want to beg.

Dear, if we could find some work ...

Could I get some pickle?

I'll tell brother. He will surely help you out.

May God bless you and your brother.

If T had a son instead of her,...

...I wouldn't have to wander like this.

She just wants to hog all the time.

What did our village pundit say?

Man is supposed to earn and woman is supposed to eat.

He meant that one should also learn to cook and serve.

You won't let me eat peacefully. I'm going out.

- Listen to me. - Let her eat.

Why are you staring at me like that?

Have you never seen a beautiful girl like me before?

My brother.

Who is that witch outside?

She and her mother are very naive.

What?! What are they?

Very naive.

You are the only smart one.

She brings home any strangers.

Brother, they are very poor. They have no one of their own.

Who did we have?

Remember that time when we wandered around homeless.

Was there anybody to help us?

I remember very well, brother.

And I also remember that your eyes always searched ...

... for someone who would step forward to help us.

- Now God has made you capable, so ... - Enough.

You are very kindhearted.

Hey, why have to put the cot here?

It's hot inside.

That's okay. But what do you want?

The adjacent house is vacate. Shall I let them stay there?

- Brother,.... - Now what?

That Mangala.,... I mean if her mother could get some job ...

Why not? A house, a job for the old lady,...

If you say. shall I find a groom for the daughter?

Really, brother? She will be rid of the burden.

- Shut up! - Okay. Don't find a groom.

Why are you so naive?

Go to bed.

What a beauty! What a youth!

It's just like paradise.

When my brother has warned you, why do you talk to me?

He has restricted me from talking to you because ...

... he doesn't want the feeling of love to awaken in our hearts.

Did you see how he ran away?

Kali had done a noble deed by getting my mother a job.

AT least I won't have to worry about food.

Your brother may be strict, but he is kindhearted.

- But he lacks only one thing. - What?

Your brother does not have a good appetite.

— Campaigning vehicle! — It is a jeep. — Whatever it is.

In our village such jeeps are used for election campaigns.

So we call it campaigning vehicle.

- Have you ever sat in it? - No. Let's get in. - Come on.

I can see some guavas. I'll be right back.

Mangal, come fast, or I'll drive away the jeep.

I see! So you know driving?

Will you do me a favour?

You are crying? I didn't mean that.

What happened?

Hey Mister, what's the matter? Why did you make her cry?

— I didn't ... — Don't deny. I know very well.

You people think too smart of yourselves.

So what if we are poor. We are human being after all.

Even we have some respect.

Do you know that if her brother Kali comes to know, ...

... you will have to regret.

T see! She is Kali's sister?

You are frightened, aren't you? Let's go, Sita.

Come on.

Why so much commotion? Why don't you sit quietly?

They won't listen until they are scolded.

Do you also want to be scolded?

But where are you going?

You are blushing as if you are going to your in-law's house.

I am.

Last time you sent your wife after raising a hue and cry.

You had taken a vow that you will not go to bring her.

Now what made you do this?

A home seems lifeless without a woman.

Now you find the home lifeless?

Everybody wants to enjoy.

You have encouraged them.

You give them a lift in government vehicle for free.

And you waste current?

Hey nincompoop! What is his name?

I am the winch driver. And you are only a trolley guard.

Stay within your limits.

Or else you'll be in trouble.

Now you will be in trouble, not me, Mr. Winch driver.

Who are they?

I asked who are they.

But sir did not give his own introduction.

The chief engineer of our division.

Pardon me. sir. I did not recognize you.

But you were supposed to come tomorrow?

You fool, great people always come before time.

You still didn't tell me who these people are.

They are from the same village.

You mean they don't work in the power house? - No, sir.

-Then what are they doing in the trolley? - It is not their fault.

They are poor helpless people.

They have to walk miles to reach their homes.

So you allow them to use government vehicle for free?

There's no harm.

It's saves them some energy.

And this trolley does not have anything to lose.

Tomorrow if some mishap occurs, and risks their lives, ...

. what will you do?

Till now nothing like that has happened.

What have not happened, might happen any moment.

And as the divisional engineer, I will be held responsible ...

... for this and I will be questioned.

This is government department.

It has some rules and regulations. Some laws.

Don't you know that this trolley is meant ...

. only for the employees of this power house?

T know, sir.

But I didn't help them considering your law points.

A responsible officer is meant for that. Tell them to get off.

Did you hear what he said? Get off everybody.

You are destined to work.

And you travel in a government vehicle!

Get lost

I've always tried to explain to Kali ...

... that he should think about saving the current,...

. about the government, about the country's ...

If you permit, can I visit the site?

Sir, please come.

Bloody Law Point!

The trolley won't move. There's a current failure.

Sir, nothing like that. He ...

Walk it out.

Go walking, sir.

Brave men like us are meant to the pot.

Pour water, do whatever you can, I will break the pot.

Children, applaud.

Look, how I fooled you!

This is not my cup of tea. A man like Kali will do it.

Come on, Kali. This pot awaits you. Break it.

I am fed up breaking the pot every year.

This year ....

Some people don't know what Kali can do.

Kali, you have done a great job!

Surprising! You are praising me?!

I always think about your welfare.

Today you should have seen the engineer's face.

I learned one more thing from his expressions ...

... that your Sita has become of a marriageable age.

Why don't you get your sister married ...

... to a eligible bachelor like me? Your burden ...

Now I understood your real intention.

If you ever say that again, I'll slit your tongue!

I'll get my Sita married to a highly educated man.

Not with a nincompoop like you. Understand? Get lost

Sir, some people don't seem what they ought to be.

But I have no words to describe Kali.

He seems like a scoundrel and is a scoundrel.

He consumes liquor on duty too.

- Liquor?! - Yes, sir.

He is always drinking in the tribal settlement.

And after being drunks, Kali wants it at any cost.

If he comes across a young lady, he forcibly takes her.

A man with all the vices is not fit ...

... to be on the post of a winch driver.

I will inquire about Kali.

What is the need for that?

I've passed 7th grade and he is illiterate.

Lack of education makes a man savage.

For instance, Kali.

He has nobody except his yonger sister.

He makes her starve.

He spends his entire income in merry making.

And in a drunken state, he also beats her.

He beats his younger sister?!

Sir, yes. Kali is a beast.

He is a very cruel man.

I am a cruel man, eh?

In a drunken state, I beat her, eh?

I consume liquor in the tribal settlement, eh?

All the women are scared of me, eh?

Sita, Kali is beating Nekiram.

I gamble, eh?

I spend my entire income on liquor and gambling ...

. and make my sister starve, eh?

Say anything about me.

But if you say anything about my sister, I'll break your bones.

Leave me!

You idiot!

I will teach you a lesson.

I will ruin you.

That scoundrel! Would I ever beat Sita?

He says that I make her starve.

Kali will die the day she has to starve.

I will die.

There comes our target.

You do your job, I'm going.

That makes it five.

Now arrange the soaps.

She is coming early morning.

Looks like my prayers are answered today.

Amazing beauty, graceful gait, what a treasure!

I'm seeing you in this village for the first time.

- Are you new here? - Yes.

- What is your name? - Chameli.

* O beauty, be my companion'

- Meaning? - I didn't mean that.

We live near the railway crossing.

Near the railway crossing. 1 see!

But who all?

My parents, 12 brothers and we 3 sisters.

12 brothers and 3 sisters?!

15 children?!

What else does your father do?

- Massage. - Massage?!

- What? - The whole body. It is his profession.

— Shall I send him to you? — No. I don't need massage.

I need you.

- What?! - T mean what do you need? - Oil.

- Oil?! - Look, how rough my hair is.

It has become very rough. I will apply jasmine oil on it.

- Jasmine oil? - Yes. - I don't want.

- Why? - I can't effort it.

Who wants money.

Here's Jasmine oil.

I'll also get you a "bindi'.

You are so kind.

I know you want one more bottle. Here you are.

There was five bottles. One I gave it to him and four ...

The bottles vanished, as well as the girl.

Those sisters robbed me of Jasmine oil bottles.

- Sirl - Yes?

- You will get married soon. - Are you an astrologer.

But the villagers believe that whoever rings the bell thrice...

... gets married soon.

- Whoever it is? - Yes, sir.

She too?

Maybe she is praying to get married early in next birth.

Do you ring the bell thrice?

Wow! What a palm!

I have never read a better palm than this.

- You will become a king. - I know that. - Then?

Read my palm carefully and tell me about my sister's marriage.

- Your sister?! - Yes.

Whom will she marry, how much educated will the groom be?

Will they deck her with jewelry?

And when she gets children, will they stay with her or me?

- I can't tell you that. - Why?

- This is your palm, not your sister's. - So what?

Your palm shows your fortune, not your sister's.

Scoundrel! He knows nothing!

It is my hands to look after her.

In whose hands is her marriage?!

I'll break your bones. Read carefully.

Look, we were talking about marriage, and there the band.

That's a good omen.

The auspicious music will be played in my house too.

Hey band party, come here.

Today is a special day for me. Play a tune.

We've to go in the neighbouring village, we are getting late.

I asked you to play. Who is he? Your stooge?

No, Kali. We are already late.

The engineer must me waiting.

Then you will have to play several tunes.

Come on, play.

Play, I said.

Kali, please let us go. For God sake.

It's Ramlal's sister's marriage. I hope we don't get late.

Alright, I spare him.

Someone's sister's marriage shouldn't be delayed.

Go!

- Hey! How much will they pay you? - Rs.50. - That's all?

I will give you Rs.150 when it's my sister's wedding.

Here's Rs. 50 advance.

Wait. Tell me, Makhan Singh.

- Yes, tell me. - What shall I tell you?

Since my wife's death, life has become difficult.

- Get marriage again. - I'm trying since a long time.

But I wonder how village girls have become smart.

Nobody is ready. I asked Pushpa. I asked...

Brother Kali, the engineer has summoned you.

Move!

Tell him I'm coming. Don't you see I am talking to Makhan?

He has summoned you immediately.

Did you summon me, sir?

What is this?

Sir, I was told that I am summoned immediately.

So I came here immediately.

What does that mean?

Sir, when you summoned me urgently, what could I do?

If you are so obedient,...

. why did you beat Nekiram?

Why did you stop the band party?

Only because you want to show me your power?

- No, sir. I ... - Don't interrupt.

What do you think of yourself?

Are you the don of this place?

You think that whoever comes in your way, ...

... you will teach him a lesson?

- Sir, I ... - I said, don't interrupt.

You know, if I write a word against you, ...

... you will be suspended?

You will starve.

Don't forget that you are a government employee.

Stay within your limits.

Learn to give respect if you expect some.

You may go.

And wash your face before you go.

Brother, freshen up quickly. I've brought your favourite food.

- I'm not hungry. - Don't lie.

Don't I know your appetite? Get up.

I said I am not hungry.

I've prepared food with so much affection, ...

. and you are saying you are not hungry?

Alright, I'll feed you with my own hands.

Why don't you listen? Go from here.

Why are you being stubborn like a child?

Don't you know I'll feel bad?

Here, eat.

I said, I'm not hungry!

I am talking to you.

Cool your temper. Come here and apply henna.

Get up and have your food.

Come on, get up.

Please get up.

Did I ever raise my hand on you before?

But I did it today.

So you hit me tool Hit me as much as you can!

If you speak like that, I'll scold you.

Then scold me without limits, hit me too.

You have the right. But why did that idiot scold me?

- Who scolded you? - That engineer did.

He said such things, that I felt like ashing him up.

I was simmering over that, when you brought my food.

So I rained my anger upon you.

Are you hurt anywhere?

I was mad to get angry with you.

Not knowing what to do, I went to drink.

I kept drinking and lambasting myself.

- I drank a lot. - Eat something now.

No, you go from here.

Tell me that again.

I'm feeling hungry.

What beautiful henna you've put on your feet!

When I asked you, you just remained silent.

Then you went and quietly decorated your feet.

You're acting as if you don't know anything.

I see - so this is all your brother's doing.

This is how God balances His accounts.

He took away your mother, but gave you a brother like Kali.

Go.

Who is it? What do you want?

- I want "bindiyas". - Well?

Pay first - only then will you get it.

You haven't recognised me.

I'm Champa, Chameli's younger sister.

I recognise you, that's why I'm telling you.

Both you sisters had duped me that day.

That's why it's cash today, and credit tomorrow.

No, it's cash tomorrow, and love today.

No, I won't be fooled! Money first

- Loosen my blouse a bit. - Did you keep money there?

Why didn't you tell me? I'll loosen it right now.

- What happened? — Something bit me!

- How do you feel now? - Your touch made my pain disappear.

- Really? - Yes. You're a cheat.

- Why? - You love Chameli.

No, it's you who I love.

I'll meet your father and ask for your hand in marriage.

- What will you give me on our wedding? - Everything.

I'll give you bindiyas.

- I'll give you soap too. - Soap?

- I'll also give you oil. - Oil?

And, above all, I'll give you saris.

That will be after our wedding, but what about now?

I'll give you a sample each of all these things.

Sit right here, don't get up.

The saris have disappeared!

Listen!

The girl's disappeared!

The saris, girl, and everything else have disappeared!

She fooled me that day, and has ruined me today!

- Is the winch driver there? - Yes, madam.

- Doing your work properly? - Do you have any problem?

No, I don't have any problem.

I only asked because machine work. ..

...is done more with the mind than with the hands.

If you don't understand anything, you can ask me.

I have a treasure of intelligence.

I know what treasure you have.

You don't do any work, but make your old mother do everything.

You can only create mischief.

Why are you jealous? If you want to have something...

...then have this.

O God! ... Why are you trying to entice me?

Don't waste my time, go away!

I won't go!

Will you go or...!

This is your time, I'm taking it with me.

Put back my watch, else...!

- Else what will you do? - I'll tell you!

Come on!

- Give back my watch, else... - Else what?

- Else, I'll break your hands and take it. - Really?

What will you do now?

"After touching you, my hands have started to burn."

"Your body heat is making me boil in cold water."

"Something like an arrow has pierced my heart."”

"Your loving mischief has caused my heart to flutter."

"Something like an arrow has pierced my heart."”

"Your lips and body have caused mine to simmer."

"How will T douse this fire in my body?"

"Your lips and body have caused mine to simmer."

"How will T douse this fire in my body?"

"Take a dip in the river, and the fire will cease."

"Water has lit this fire, so you find some cure."

"After touching you, my hands have started to burn."

"Something like an arrow has pierced my heart."”

"This is not love, but passion that will engulf you."

"None can come out of it, so don't fall into it."

"This is not love, but passion so don't fall into it."

"Don't say that - be nice and kiss me."

"I'm like a free bird, don't try to encage me."

"After touching you, my hands have started to burn."

"Your body heat is making me boil in cold water."

"Something like an arrow has pierced my heart."”

"Your loving mischief has caused my heart to flutter."

Tell his family not to worry - he's been taken to hospital.

Why was the trolley so late? Where's Kali?

Where were you? Didn't you hear the alarm ring for so long?

Don't you know your duty is with the trolley...

...which may be required anytime?

Your carelessness may result in someone's death.

- Sir, I... - Don't argue.

- Do you come here to work or to have fun? - With a girl.

You're a completely irresponsible man!

You came to entice me, and T had to listen to his rebukes!

I'll fix you...!

The child is drenched!

How did you dare to come in my place!

Don't turn violent.

It's not right to harm me.

I'm only obeying the engineer's orders.

If you don't believe me, read his written order.

Shall I read it to you?

What's this, sir?

- It's written on it. - I know, but why?

That too is written there.

You don't work with responsibility. ..

...so you've been suspended for 10 days.

But I've accepted my mistake.

You rebuked me that day,. but I remained silent.

- So why this order? - You're careless and irresponsible.

Don't say that.

Except yesterday, I never faltered in my work.

I don't want to argue with you.

- My decision is in front of you. - Please consider it again.

This will ruin my reputation.

I won't be able to raise my eyes upon the villagers.

- Please don't do it. - See, Kali...

I've only suspended - not dismissed- you.

You'll dismiss me too.

That day you threatened to suspend me, and have done it.

You're now talking of my dismissal, and will do it too.

Since the time you've come here, you've always hated me.

And when a man is hated, even his virtue looks like sin.

You're just getting excited; I've no ill-will against you.

Join after 10 days: go now.

So you won't change your decision?

All right, I'm going. If you think you can disgrace me...

...then perhaps you don't know what stuff I'm made up of.

You'll find it out

Kali is drinking heavily in the gypsy settlement.

T heard he had an altercation with the engineer.

There will be fireworks today.

"My hands are strong, so why should I lose heart?"

"Why should I seek compassion from this cruel world?"

"I'll face whatever is going to occur."

"Why should I cower in fear like a living corpse?"

"My hands are strong, so why should I lose heart?"

"I am true of heart and intentions."

"I never commit any wrong."

"I'm free, and am bound to nobody."

"My hands are strong, so why should I lose heart?"

"I've been brought up amidst storms and fire."

"I'll play with death over and over again."

"I'll either kill my enemies, or give up my life."

"But I'll never accept defeat.”

"Why should I cower in fear like a living corpse?"

"My hands are strong, so why should I lose heart?"

"Why should I seek compassion from this cruel world?"

I'll face whatever is going to occur."

"Why should I cower in fear like a living corpse?"

"My hands are strong, so why should I lose heart?"

Threatening and suspending me for 10 days!

You can't suspend me! It's I who'll suspend you!

Go, I've suspended you!

Will you sleep in peace after suspending me?

I'll make you sleep in peace forever!

- Slowly. - I won't leave youl

Turn his feet this way. ... That's right.

You go in.

You've made life miserable for me!

I too will make your life miserable!

You can't suspend me!

T won't spare you!

Put his feet inside.

None of you are required to come.

I'm there, so don't worry about anything.

Kali will return as soon as he's recovered.

Brother!

I searched for you throughout the village. ..

...but you're silently sitting here!

The engineer has said that Kali will return.

So why are you worried?

Kali is your brother, and you're his sister.

It's impossible that he won't come for "rakhi" today.

On this auspicious day, sisters don't cry...

...but sing and proclaim their love for their brothers.

"Promise on this day of rakhi..."

"...that you'll always protect your sister's honour."

"Promise on this day of rakhi..."

"...that you'll always protect your sister's honour."

"A brother spends childhood with his mother..."

"...and youth with his wife."

"A sister is destined to only part with him."

"A brother spends childhood with his mother..."

"...and youth with his wife."

"A sister is destined to only part with him."

"Mingling happiness with your tears..."

"...you'll embrace your sister with a smile."

"Promise on this day of rakhi..."

"...that you'll always protect your sister's honour."

"Promise on this day of rakhi..."

"...that you'll always protect your sister's honour."

"The rakhi symbolises a sister's love..."

"...which binds her brother to her."

"The rakhi symbolises a sister's love..."

"...which binds her brother to her."

"Brother, how will you break this traditional custom?"

"This day will pull you to me."

"Promise on this day of rakhi..."

"...that you'll always protect your sister's honour."

"Promise on this day of rakhi..."

"...that you'll always protect your sister's honour."

Brother!

Brother!

Don't cry, Sita.

The hand for your rakhi is intact.

Kali, my heart was very pained. ..

...when I learnt that you've become handicapped.

Have this tea.

It's all destiny - what can we do?

This is not a matter of destiny.

That engineer is responsible for everything.

He keeps throwing his weight around the place.

Since the time he's been transferred to this village...

...you've received nothing but sorrow.

If he didn't rebuke you...

...you wouldn't have drunk liquor in anger.

Such a big accident wouldn't have occurred.

He wouldn't have turned handicapped for life.

I say who's responsible for all this

Don't worry at all, I am with you.

I'm always there for you.

A true friend is one who supports during adversity.

And a calamity has befallen you.

You've lost your left hand.

— From today. I will be your left hand. - Move off!

What's wrong with me? I'm alive, and can walk, talk and see!

Even now, nobody can dare to have a brawl with me!

I don't need anyone's help or compassion!

Even today, I can feed a hundred dogs like you!

Get lost now!

See the ways of fate!

God made him handicapped, yet he has the same arrogance!

Don't be angry. I came to inform you that...

...the engineer has called you.

Come, Kali. How are you?

- Sit down. - It's okay, sir.

Come on, sit down.

I know you're angry with me.

So you may not even try to understand me.

But I'm compelled to tell you what I'm about to.

How will I tell you?

God knows that I pleaded a lot with my officers for your sake.

I tried so much to make them understand. but to no avail.

They feel that you're no longer fit for your post.

I can't tell you how sorry I am.

You've been dismissed from your job.

So you've settled your account.

You spoke of dismissing me that day, and have done it now.

Wow, sir! You're such an expert in malice!

I knew you'd take it that way.

But, for God's sake, it's not true.

I'm not that sort of a man.

Even if you are, what's wrong in it?

If I was in your place...

...then maybe I'd have done the same thing to you.

Everything is permissible in this game of power.

What are we after all? Just men.

Please Kali, don't mistake me.

Leave it.

My mistaking you won't lower your position.

But I'll tell you one thing:

Even if I lose all my limbs...

...I'll stay alive.

This man called Kali is made of very stern stuff.

Brother, why are you sad?

So what if you've lost your job?

I'm there with you

If you're with me, then I haven't lost anything.

My world is intact.

Hey, what are you doing?

What sort of shop is yours? There are no ladies' items!

When I had them, my entire shop was looted.

You girls made such a big fool of me.

— But not anymore. — When did I fool you?

- Don't you live near the railway gate? - No.

- Aren't you 12 brothers and 3 sisters? - No.

My father didn't even marry.

So you're not Champa and Chameli's sister.

- Whose? - Those 2 thieves. Anyway, leave it.

- Tell me your name. - Bijlee.

Bijlee, get one thing clear:

I've been duped a lot regarding ladies' items.

So I've stored all of them in my bedroom.

I first latch the door, then sell the goods.

After being paid, I open... Where are you going?

- To your bedroom. - I see!

The shop is closed!

You know both the place and the pose!

"She's come to my place and, as per my nature..."

"...I see my wares, and also her condition."

- What do you want? - I'll tell you later.

- First tell me whose picture that is. - Which picture?

That picture? It's of my departed wife.

She left me immediately after our marriage.

Since her death, I've been looking for a beautiful girl...

...who can make my wishes come true.

Marriage. ..

When should I speak to your father about our wedding?

Meet my father as soon as possible. ..

...because he wants to get me married to a tabla player.

You should never marry a tabla player.

They always pick up their tablas and go away.

Don't touch her!

Who spoke just now? Was it you?

Then maybe it was my imagination.

So tell me when I should meet your father.

Don't go near her!

That picture's lips were moving!

- Can it be a ghost? - Ghost?

How can there be a ghost?

- Did you see who hit me? - No.

Do you think I'm a fool? I'll show you right now!

- A sound was coming from that almirah! - What?

Don't be scared, I'll go and see!

How can any sound come from the almirah?

There's nothing here.

This is only hair!

There was nothing in it, you were scared for nothing.

Come, I'll remove your fright.

I won't waste this golden opportunity.

- What happened? - That picture is haunted!

I'll exorcise the ghost.

Come, indomitable man! But how will you break the pot?

Fate has broken your hand.

Come Kali, break the pot. ... How will he do it now?

Why are you grinning and showing all your teeth?

One sock of Kali will extract all of them!

Kali doesn't have to show his strength by breaking the pot.

I'm enough for this little feat.

Utter your big words now!

What's there to speak when next to a beauty like you?

In future., learn to talk with respect!

Brother!

- She does seem different. - She is very sweet natured.

She takes more care of you now than I have ever taken.

I lost my hand, so she is showing pity.

No, it's not pity, she cares for you.

Even if T am not around, she'll stay with you like your shadow.

What are you trying to say? Tell me clearly.

Why are you beating around the bush?

I'm not beating around the bush, I have said it very clearly.

You marry Mangala.

So my sister has grown so big ...

... that she is thinking of my marriage now.

Get this clear, Siva. Until you get married ...

. even thinking about marriage is a sin for me.

Then you also get this clear. Until you don't get married ...

... I will not step out of this house.

You gave me the love of a mother, father, brother, friend.

You gave me so much love, that even I know what love is now.

You have always considered me a part of you.

A part of your life.

. until T can get someone to look after you ...

... I swear I won't get married.

Have you gone mad? What will people say?

I am handicapped, moreover, I have a young unmarried sister.

Why do you want people to make fun of me?

- Sita, take back this promise. - No, brother.

I will not change my mind.

And then, you are getting married ...

... because you want to get your sister married.

Tell me, don't you want to get me married?

T don't understand what you are saying.

When you feel confused, you should listen to those ...

... younger to you.

Now just leave everything to me.

Mangala, we brother/sister duo were orphaned in childhood.

I don't even remember my parents faces.

But brother never let me miss them.

So Sita is narrating her story once again!

Mangala, I cannot bear to see the state brother is in today.

He finds himself helpless at every step.

He needs a wife more than me.

I know he is very stubborn, bull-headed.

He is always scolding.

But honestly, he is very good at heart.

And innocent like a child.

Mangala, will you refuse to marry him ...

... just because he has lost his job ...

... lost one arm.

Crazy sister-in-law!

Sister-in-law!

Congratulations, Kali.

- Congratulations. - Move ahead.

Congratulations. Accept this gift.

I had got it on my wedding.

T could not use it, so....

Rs. 27 .50p.

It cost that much in those days!

Kali, congratulations on your marriage.

Makhan, what is the point giving such a bottle on this occasion?

Thank you very much, sir.

Sirl

I hope you didn't mind my brother's behavior.

No. Since I have recognised your brother's nature ...

... I don't mind anything he does.

These are his wedding sweets. I hope you'll accept them.

Why won't 1 accept? Besides, you have brought it ,how can I refuse.

- Take, sir. - Can't you address me as Vinay?

These are your brother's wedding sweets.

When will you treat me to your wedding sweets?

My brother just got married.

We poor people cannot afford another marriage so soon.

Don't feel shy like girls. Come here.

"Do you know what marriage means"

Yes, I do"

"Then tell me"

"I know what marriage means"

"The husband earns, and the wife hogs"

"When the husband brings home money"

"The wife cooks"

"And serves her husband"

"No...no...."

"You don't know what marriage means"

"Sit close to me and talk lovingly with me"

"Lift your veil, meet my eyes"

"Feel a little coy, smile a little"

"Marriage means something more, have you ever noticed"

"It is not just hunger for food"

"It involves love too"

"A wife expresses her love by running the house smoothly"

"By serving her husband delicious dishes"

"She grinds spices, she makes pickles"

"If her husband is late, she doesn't eat without him"

"You don't know what marriage means ..."

"To love is a heart's nature, no one can change that"

"It can survive without food, but will die without love"

"Love food too, take care of your health"

"If you don't keep good health, how will you enjoy love"

"Sarson ka saag, makke di roti, fish, idli, dosa"

"I'll cook it all for you right now"

"The food is hot, don't be late"

"Eat yourself, and serve me too"

"I know what marriage means ..."

To take a bath, aunt ...

You have already taken a bath. Over here ...

How could I forget You are not Mangala now, but sister-in-law.

My dear sister-in-law!

You look so beautiful.

I may jinx youl

May you never get jinxed.

He's taking a bath. I told him I'll help him, but he refused.

You should not listen to him. Only you can set him right.

I'm leaving. Look sister-in-law ...

... keep him so busy, he should not realise I've gone somewhere.

No Sita, you stay at home, I'll go.

If your brother comes to know, he'll chew my brains.

I got you two married, so that he could chew your brains.

If you leave home, whose brains will he chew?

Poor brother! He'll have to go hungry.

You have to stay with him like his shadow now.

Looks like the moon's come down on earth to serve me breakfast.

If you look at me like that ...

.. I'll stay at home all day.

- Look at me. - No. - Why? - I'm feeling shy.

- What? - I'm feeling shy.

You are feeling shy? Strange!

My dear shy girl, give me something to eat.

My body is burning with hunger.

What's this?

- What's this? - Dirty fellow!

What's dirty about it?

Serve me breakfast.

Get fish. I'll cook it so well ...

Food again! I told you, marriage doesn't only involve eating.

And today, I'm not going anywhere.

Ask Sita to get whatever you want.

- Where is she? - She must be around.

Around? I don't see her anywhere.

- She ... - I ask, where is Sita?

Where is she?

Your brother has become an invalid. He cannot earn.

So what? He has me. T will look after his needs.

I will earn money and run his home.

With these thoughts, the little Sita, left home.

And Mangala was so impressed by Sita's thoughts ...

... that she let her go.

Don't you think I should punish you for this act of yours?

Come here.

You are a big girl now.

You can earn and feed your brother and sister-in-law.

Why not? The useless brother is enjoying his married life ...

. so whose fault is it? The brother's.

Who should get beaten? The brother.

I was thinking of looking for a job for myself.

But I only thought of it, and you actually did it.

I was 5-6 years old. Since then, I have never kept you hungry.

The strength I have in one hand today ....

... I didn't have in both hands then.

So I request you, please don't step out of the house.

I promise you, until I am alive, you won't lack anything.

I hope you have understood.

And you too.

But why do you want to sell this watch?

When I don't have work, what will T do knowing the time?

No one wants to give me a job now that I've lost my arm.

Come in.

I know a self respecting man will never accept money.

But before getting angry, hear what I've to say & understand it.

There is a shop near the temple.

I'd thought of buying it and running it.

But a single man cannot handle two shops.

Take this money. Buy the shop with it, & start some business.

Don't think I am giving you this money as charity.

I want my money back, along with interest.

What if the shop doesn't run and I lose the money?

The Kali T know can never lose any battle.

Take.

You speak and see more than necessary.

But I realise today, that you are very kind hearted.

But remember, don't run your shop so well ...

... that my shop closes down.

Why did you run away that day?

I know why you ran away.

Why, sir?

You read my eyes and knew what was on my mind.

Sita... . listen.

If you have no objection, I want to marry you.

What happened? My words hurt you?

Alright then, I'll come & speak to your brother tomorrow.

I notice madam is very happy today.

Who is your heart calling out to?... . Tell me!

You have my promise.

Sir... sir is coming to speak to brother tomorrow.

What?..... Bravo! Let's go!

Kali, T want to talk to you.

Listen, ask him to come inside.

Come in.

Sit down , sir.

Kali, T am aware you are annoyed with me.

I don't know why a misunderstanding ...

... has been created between us.

But today, I haven't come to meet you as an officer ...

... but as a friend.

But you have come to meet me.

You have come to my house, and are also discussing a law point.

They told me in office that's the nick name you have given me.

Kali, there is a lot in my life that matches yours.

Even I lost my parents when I was young.

Even I have always been lonely like you.

I am looking for support to live my life now.

If I have your permission, I want to marry Sita.

Don't refuse. I have come with many hopes.

We are fortunate that you ...

This is so sudden...

Are you having an affair ...

No, it's nothing like that.

It cannot be. I have brought up my sister with principles.

So what have you decided?

You have said this so suddenly ...

... that let alone take a decision ...

... I haven't even been able to digest your words.

You have asked for my most precious thing in life.

Give me some time to think.

Meet me at the bazaar square tomorrow.

I'll give you my decision there.

Kali looks upset today.

I have news that the engineer had gone to his house yesterday.

He's coming here.

Please sit down.

- Will you have tea? - No, thank you.

Kali, what have you decided?

I'll tell you.

Hello, Kali. Why did you call me here?

- Did you speak the truth that day? - T swear!

Mr.Makhan, make arrangements and reach my home immediately.

Yes, but for what?

You are marrying my sister, Sita.

You two will be engaged right now!

Yes, lucky fellow. Reach quickly.

Sit down.

What's going on! Have you gone crazy ...

... to get your sister married to this crook??

You are doing this because you hate your boss.

If you hate him, ...

. why are you ruining your sister's life for it?

Just think, you have reared her like your daughter.

And just for your ego, you want her to marry this widower?

Ask him to leave right now!

I will not allow this engagement until I am alive!

Then go and die. Because this engagement will take place!

How dare you!

I will get her married to whosoever I want.

Then whether he is a king or a pauper.

She is my sister! No demon will ever enter her life.

If you dare to interfere, I'll kill you.

Then kill me. But until I am alive, ...

... I won't let Sita's life be ruined.

If you so love to die, then die!

Brother, what is wrong with you?

Why're you beating sister-in-law on my engagement day?

Sister-in-law, you don't interfere.

Let brother do what he wants.

No, I won't let him get away with it.

There is a limit to obstinacy. You have a right over your life.

My brother has a right over my life.

Whatever he is doing is in my interest.

You cannot be more concerned about me than him.

Mangala, have you also lost your mind along with him?

Think what you like. Brother, complete the ritual.

No one will stop you now.

A woman after all will never cease from creating scenes.

Don't worry, I have given you my word, I will not break it.

Sir, save Sita's life from being ruined.

If she sacrifices her life over his obstinacy ...

... her life will be ruined.

- I plead with you! - What can I do?

T will convince Sita somehow.

Take her far away from here and return after marrying her.

Defeated, Kali will have to accept the alliance.

Elope with her? Marry her secretly?

Hearing it all, it feels I'm not going to marry but commit a sin.

I am a responsible man.

You should not have such expectations from me.

Then what should T expect?

That you kindle the flame of love in her heart ...

. and leave her to burn in it for life?

Expect, that a girl,who has only loved her brother until now ...

. on realizing what she has done with her life ...

. she hates her brother?

Isn't this what we should expect of you ...

..that you create a rift between a brother & sister's true love?

Damn your English! You are worst than my husband.

He is illiterate. For him, honour means doing what he wants.

But you are educated. You should understand ...

... that whatever he is doing is to vent his anger on you.

He is taking his revenge from you.

Don't you feel responsible?

Doesn't your conscience prick you?

But Mangala, she is engaged, her marriage date has been fixed.

— How can I interfere? — Then you can atleast poison her.

She will atleast die peacefully.

She will atleast not die every moment of her life.

- Why, what happened? - A great injustice is being done to you.

How?

Do you know why Kali is getting his sister married to you?

- Why? - Wait a minute.

Because the engineer has slept with her and then left her.

- Whatll - I am speaking the truth.

I can promise over anything and say ...

... that Mangala was pleading with the engineer ...

... that if he won't marry her, he should poison and kill her.

What are you saying!

God will punish me severely if T am lying.

- What did the engineer say? - You know a man's nature.

What he can get without paying a price for it ...

... he won't pay for it.

You are right. Only you can save me from marrying her.

— How can I help you? — You can.

I know you very well. Whenever you bring a problem, ...

... you also bring along a solution to it.

You are very intelligent.

You gave me a home, my husband.

Then how can I watch you marrying a useless fellow?

Alright, I'll kill myself.

Then let's see whether I will be cremated, or you'll get married.

Don't cry, Sita. T cannot see tears in your eyes.

Whatever I am doing is not for you, or myself ...

but for your brother.

You know his nature.

Today, he is not realizing what he is doing.

He is not ready to think rationally.

But just think of your life after marriage.

You are so good,you will quietly suffer his decision ...

. all your life.

But what will happen when he realizes his mistake?

He will never be able to forgive himself.

He will go mad with the thought that he ruined his sister's life.

That is why I am telling you, if not your own ...

. save your brother's life from repentance.

And do what I have told you.

These are sarees for tomorrow.

Put them on my corpse.

I don't care! Whether you live or die, I'll not break my word.

Where did she disappear early in the morning?

Mr._Makhan, did you see her?

I didn't see her, but I know everything.

What do you know?

T know where Sita is, and also know what she is.

You were dumping your unchaste sister ...

. who has already slept with the engineer, on me.

You rascal! How dare you call my sister unchaste!

I'll kill you! Get up, you dog!

My sister is unchaste?

I only told you what Nekiram told me.

- Neki took your sister. - Where?

Brother!

Get up!

Mr.Makhan, blinded by my selfishness ...

...I made dirty allegations on Sita.

She is a chaste woman. Please forgive me.

Get ready to marry her. Mr. Makhan.

Sita, come here.

What happened to you? Have you forgotten what I told you?

Don't forget that your one mistake can ruin a life.

Sita, do what is right for your life, for your brother.

But don't think just with your heart, but your brain too.

Then you can even refuse me.

Kali, stop being adamant.

If you continue to be adamant, we won't see your face again!

For the love of your brother, ...

... don't make yourself a lifeless doll.

Or even your life will get shattered like a toy.

Come.

I know you won't let me step in your house after today.

But I will be happy about the fact that Sita will be happy.

His obstinacy has blinded him.

But what when he realizes his mistake?

He will go mad with the thought that he ruined his sister's life.

When I lost my parents, I never considered myself an orphan.

When I lost my hand, T wasn't heart broken.

But today, when you are leaving me ...

. my body feels lifeless.

T will only be a living corpse now.

You are leaving me ...

"This is such a bond which no one can break"

"It is the most sacred of all relationships"

"When you will go to your husband's home"

"I will give you a tearful send-off"

"I am your brother, I am your mother"

"I am even your father"

"O my sister!"

You all thought she will marry against her brother's wishes?

Go away all of you! And drown in shame!

They thought you will leave me.

Sir, you know I don't like you.

But perhaps my sister likes you.

Whatever, but she has proved today, ...

..that I mean more than anything else to her in the world.

This happiness, this high, will stay with me forever.

And lost in my happiness, I am going to do what I want.

Kalicharan accepts his sister's marriage with you, sir.

Please accept this alliance.

"When you will go to your husband's home"

"I will give you a tearful send-off"

"I am your brother, I am your mother"

"I am even your father"

"For your one happiness, I can even sacrifice my whole life"

"O my sister!"
