Catch me.

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 herselfand..

..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..
like 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.

Uncle - 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, dullest!

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

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'sjust 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?

Ofcourse, thank you.

When I lived here, amongst you folks,
the time ofour 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 jewellery.

Over years, bit by bit,
jewellery 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 fulfilment.

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 jewellery.

She is so beautiful, who
will look at myjewels!

Chhoti. Chhoti.

Aunt, I'll fetch her.

"I didn't think nor understood.
I kept my heart at aim."

"I wish to die in your feet.."

Sister, what a cool song,
please join me.

"I just have this desire."

Ifaunt 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 father..

..and mother makes me
do the make-up drill..

..and before I'm down,
the guest is gone.

You're far better off sister,
mother tells you nothing.

Sorry, Sister. Mother
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 ofall this..
and stop showing your teeth.

In front of the guest, walk properly.

Wow! Madhupur's sweet,
the world's best sweet!

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 Mother smile.

Rama, time for me
to go to the temple.

The sermon is to begin.

Come.
- let's go. - Uncle.

He always forgets.

Uncle, do visit us again.
- Okay, dear.

She cares for the
smallest of my needs..

..more like a mother.

Krishnakant, you wondered
how I recognised 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."

"Oh, Krishna and Radha.."

Krishna and Radha, oh, divine,
come unto us..

..bless this home of mine.

Please accept our invitation.

This worshipper is
singing your praises.

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 ofan 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, Mother, loads of face-pack.
Happy now?

Sister, snap me a photo.
I want to send it to the zoo.

Oh, come on, Mother.

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

Mother, can I tell
Sister about the Delhi boy?

I don't like these cheap antics.

Who's this guy from Delhi?

Why should I tell?
- Chhoti! Listen..

Chhoti!
- Father.. - Listen. - Father.

Chhoti! Stop!

Look! Chhoti, no sparing you!

Father, look! Sister is nagging me,
it's one question again and again.

When will the boy
say yes, for marriage!

What! Chhoti!

Come here.

Chhoti!

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..

..that 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 myjob.

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

You paste that submarine.

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

Granduncle, what colour'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 - Good morning.

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. - 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.

Yes. One minute!

Are you taking of fwith 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.

Yes!

Yes, Prem, that's the shot.

Be right back.

Wonderful. - Bali, looks
like you'll lose again, dear.

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..
have a great day.

Hey, Aunt Maria, grab a bite?
- No! I'm so very happy.

I'm going to fast all day! 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,
travelled 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 ofa
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?
Uncle Bhagat 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 ofwater,
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, etcetera.

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?"

"New hopes, newjoy."

"A strange fragrance fills the air
with the coming ofsomeone..

..for whom I have
waited with all my heart."

"Oh, what are we going to talk?"

Krishnakant basically
belongs to Som Sarovar.

Som Sarovar, where grapes grow?
- Exactly. - Yes.

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 splendour?"

"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..

..let 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 courage.

And it wasjust 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 favourites?

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?
- Father, 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, Father.

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.

Yes, Excuse me..
- Yes?

Tell me.

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 Aunt..

How did this aunt become my aunt?
- Explain it to him.

Your uncle likes her
so much, what to do?

Kindly let it come.. that's it.

Papa, the cars are waiting.
- Sure, let's go. We'll leave now.

For you.

Chocolates?
- Yes.

Aunt, coming to Delhi?

Aunt will come later.
- Yes.

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.
- Yes?

Ifall 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..

Brother-in-law, now, you owe me one.

Yes Harishchandra, we
have reached Som Sarovar.

When can we expect you?

Oh, take left from the bus depot.

Metalled 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?

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 ofquestion.."

"I will use sign language.."

"Coy words are out ofquestion.."

"I will use sign language.."

"Unlike others.."

"..our communication
will be special."

"Oh! Chhoti!"

80 kilometres tojourney's end?

"Marriage is like the
'sweet' 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 sweet, you will get too.."

"..the day someone will
come for you. Oh! Chhoti! "

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 brother-in-law arrive..

..I'll tell him all
about your state of mind."

"Oh! Sister."

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
- Wow!

Come, son.
- Yes.

Come, son.

Our little family member, you too!

Wow, Grandpa, little dining tables?

For you, a special little one.

Come.

Come. Sit.

Please serve him his special dish.

I'll serve them.

Papa, aunt is a fantastic cook.

The garnishing proportions are
on her fingertips, I was stunned.

Sister-in-law, he is a lucky man.

Sunil, 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 chilli.

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.

Papa!
- Yes?

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'sjust so
that we can have all the..

..three big rooms to ourselves.

No, not really.

Beddings in place, make it quick.
- Mr. Harishchandra..

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.

Son..
- 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 I 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.

He's stuck.

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 round sweets!

Milk and round sweets for breakfast?

Steaming hot round sweets.
- Sit here.

Two minutes, Round sweets in milk.
- Are you serving us again! Sit!

Great taste, try it

Sister-in-law, get
him to talk to Papa.

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.

Aunt, can we take
Poonam and Chhoti along?

Sure.
- 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

Rahul..

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 lead a simple life.

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 ofour 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.."

"..a simplicity of flowers
has adorned her beauty."

"So little said, so much remains."

"A little shower, I wait for rains."

"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!
Otherwise, they'll win.

Hit. Get her. Why
don't you take her out?

??

"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.."

"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."

"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' love stories.."

"..entice me into sweet
dreams of tomorrows.."

"Awakening for the first time,
new stirrings within me."

"I feel new emotions
stirring within."

"A lifetime ofour
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.."

"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.

Aunt..

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? - Okay.

We leave early tomorrow,
don't forget. - Okay.

Chhoti, where's the saffron 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.

Ifsomeone 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 realise 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 I..

"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 heart calls out in answer.."

"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 heart calls out in answer."

"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."

"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 heart calls out in answer.."

"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.

Four months, two weeks and two days,
our wedding's that far away.

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

..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 heart calls out to you.."

"I have the right."

Good morning, sir.
- Good morning.

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 and..

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 9am.

Engaged to marry,
now work, only work.

Concentrate, focus.

Accountant, 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 inn. - Okay.

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.

Come. 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.

Mother, why do you
always talk like that?

Father only wants your opinion.

Don't you dare talk back at me.

Bitto, get along
with what you got to do.

The kind ofwedding
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..

..like 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, ifwe 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 offour 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..

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 up..'

'..on the
preparations for the wedding.'

'A thousand responsibilities
entail in a daughter's wedding.'

'Have no worries ofany 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 colours.

'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 colour
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 myselfworthy,
for your sake.'

Coming, coming.

Hello.

Bitto, your phone.

Who is it?

Perhaps, a friend.

Birju. Hey, Birju.

Hello.
- Guess what happened,just guess.

Halfan 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 organisation.

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

My brother is busy with
the clients from Switzerland.

And Papa is out ofstation,
so, who is to be sent.

I'm going.

I'll go.

Congrats.
- Thanks.

I'm off to Japan next week
and there's lots ofwork..

..no time to talk. Bye.

Birju. Birju.

Birju.

Hello.

What happened?

At today's meeting..

Project report will be
ready in three 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 call him now.

Go.
- Yes!

Hello.

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 three 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.

Hello.

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.

Stop here.

Rama, Agra was the right place to go.

We got the musicians,
also confectioners.

The same confectioner,
whom you favour too.

Everyone will land up two or
three days before the wedding.

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

Aunt, 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, right?

Yes, Aunt.

Why ask me to give
the shawl to father?

Because I wish you would.

No, because Mother wishes it.

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

It's your home no more,
that's what Mother 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. Take, it.

Father..

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.

Here you are, Poonam..

..transfer papers
for your Delhi college.

Thank you, Ma'am.

Sister, quick!
It's a call from Delhi.

Sunil, my heartiest compliments!

One second, one second..

Prem's Japan tour is a great success.

Yes, Sunil, 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.

Poonam will be there
to share your joys.

Fine. I'll send the
car tomorrow morning.

Greetings, greetings.

Come on, Bitto.

Your palanquin's here from Delhi.

Good morning.

"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.."

"..land 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 traveller.."

"..all I got to say.."

"..whereveryou go,
with you always.."

"..let your sweetheart stay."

"Alas! Moments of loneliness.."

"Even a moment's separation.."

"..I can bear no longer."

"I wish Destiny.."

"..makes one little favour.."

"..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.."

"Poonam!"

"You are my love!"

"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.
- Hi, Papa. - Bless you, son.

Uncle..
- Bless you, son.

Congratulations,
many congratulations.

Brother, has Uncle come alone?

Yes, was someone else expected?

No.

Let's all proceed
towards home, come on, son.

Get in.
- Yes, Brother.

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 your lotus feet?

At thy lotus feet I shall bow and..

Exult?
- Exactly! The same.

Desist, first return to your place.

And with your fiancee,
engage in polite conversation.

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.

Papa..
- Welcome, how are you?

Greetings.
- Prem's father-in-law.

Friends, I'm on cloud seven.

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, myjoys..

..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 fritters for him.
- Enough.

Krishnakant, we know..

..it's your favourite. 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.

Ifanyone 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 neighbours' 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?
- Come on.

Poonam..

..my heart knows, I
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 aunt, she'll understand.
- Sure, Sister-in-law.

Bless you.

Return soon.

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

Come on, dear.
- Uncle Bhagat.

Isn't there a custom to escort
the lady? - There should be..

Shall I ask your father-in-law?
Let me.. - No, what are you doing!

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

My respects, Uncle.
- Bless you, son.

Prem, isn't uncle getting late?
- Yes.

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

Okay..

"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,jewellery. And listen..

..half the jewellery 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.

Ifshe doesn't wear your
jewellery worth some..

..thousands, her
beauty won't be marred.

Leave the old jewelry for Chhoti.

Rama, do not forget that
jewellery 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,
whetheryou like it or not.

Then so be it.

Here's the jewelry.

Here are the keys. Do what you want.

Rama!

Sorry, Aunt. 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..

Hurry up, well done.
- Okay. - Very good.

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.

Aunt..

..the keys to my cupboard.

There are so many things inside.
Chhoti could use them.

Aunt..

..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, oh, 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
needs to be a little tight?

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.

"Everyone applies
henna to the bride.."

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
Mother's blessings.."

"..who revels in
Shiva's love forever."

"Oh, Goddess, You are
resplendent in vermilion."

"You wear the bride's reds..

..Your palms adorned
in crimson henna.."

"..red is your veil, red
vermilion streaks Your hair.."

"..the red dot on Your forehead,
fragrant with musk."

"We pray to You, pour
our emotions to You."

"Oh, beautiful.."

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

I'll fetch her.
- Yes.

"Oh, 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 ofjoy.

Give the bride a
happy send-off, Rama.

Rama you know this, as I know.

Ifshe is denied your blessings, it
won't be a happy send-offfor her.

For once, forget all else Rama..

..for the sake of Poonam's happiness.

Let 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'sjoy,
even ifwe 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.

Sir..

Sir, fire! The house is on fire.

Fire! Fire!

Fire!
- Run! - Fire!

Sir..

Fire!

It's a fire!
- Everyone, out!

Out. Everyone outside.

What happened?

Hurry!

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

Get out, first.

Extinguish it!
- How did it..

Oh, God!
- Fire!

All this!

Quick, more water! Hurry!

Bhagat! Where are Chhoti and Bitto?
- Chhoti and Bitto?

Somebody save the bride!

Bitto!

Bitto!
- Uncle.

Don't panic.

Walk to the door.

Stay back.

Quick!
- Uncle! - Come.

Your wedding dress?

Make way for the bride.

Come. Come, dear.

Where is Chhoti? Where is Chhoti?

She must be inside..
- No, she isn't.. go find her.

Chhoti..

Chhoti.

Chhoti!

Save the palanquin.
- Chhoti!

Come on, hurry up!

Save the palanquin.
- Chhoti!

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

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

Listen, Bitto, wait!

Chhoti. Where are you going, Bitto?

Stop.

Bitto.

Krishnakant. Krishnakant.

Chhoti.

Chhoti! Chhoti!

Chhoti!
- Sister.

Leave me!
- Sister-in-law..

Leave me!
- Sister-in-law!

Chhoti. Chhoti..
- Sister-in-law!

Aunt.
- Sister-in-law.

Aunt, Chhoti is fine.

She's all right.

Poonam.

Chhoti!

Poonam.

Call Dr. Rashid, a burns
case is here. - Yes, doctor.

Doctor.

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..

..lesser 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..

Hello.
- 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.

Come..
- Doctor.

Can I see Sister..
even from far? Please.

Okay, please wait, come on.

Uncle.

Is Chhoti well, Uncle?

Nothing can harm Chhoti.

No fire can hurt Chhoti.

Tell Aunt..

..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 ofwounds.

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
lies under this canopy.

Poonam, neither am I
unawares of truth..

..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,
I want from you.. a gift.

Give me all your pain.

"Before the
auspicious moment goes by.."

"..let 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.

Where am I to sign, Doctor?

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 honour to have you here.

We've a battle waiting to be won.

Take the new bride to the
operation theatre, please.

Please come, Doctor.

One second, 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."

Water.
- "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, miss you!

Aunt, smile.

Dressing.

Give it a final coat
of paint, thoroughly.

Uncle, now the
painting is almost over.

Sunil, this has taken
so much of your time.

Don't embarrass me, Accountant.

Let me know if I can
be ofany more service.

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

Accountant, begin to make
preparations for the wedding.

The doctor says, we can
bring Poonam home tomorrow.

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.

Aunt 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."

"At your door.."

"..he has come,
asking for his bride."

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

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

"Welcome him with love..
love 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."

"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."

"The flowers ofjoy have blossomed."

"It wasjourney
upon a difficult path.."

"The flowers ofjoy have blossomed."

"It wasjourney
upon a difficult path.."

"..for these two loving hearts."

"He has come, asking for his bride."

"For once, last, she
walks towards you.."

"Yesterday's little faltering steps,
faltering again today.."

"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' burden no more.

"The moment of submission.."

"..now arrives, oh, 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." - Thank you, Sister.

"Tonight, give him
every right he deserves."

"For neither of you.."

"..are strangers any longer."

"Here comes the moment
of submission, oh, 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
keep looking at you.."

"Sweetheart, sweetheart.."

"Sweetheart, sweetheart, 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.."

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

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

"Sweetheart, sweetheart.."

"Sweetheart, sweetheart, my
heart says, you have the right.."

"You have the right.."
