Munim!

Did you extend an invitation to
the Brahmins for mom's anniversary?

Yes, sir.

Being a Brahmin, I never
fail to extend any invitation.

I've invited a total
of 19 Brahmins.

Why 19 and not 21?

Because I might not
be religious,

but I eat as much as two
Brahmins would.

Why did you wake me up?

To get a beating from you.

Until I hear your voice,

I don't feel good. Come here.

Come down.
- No, get me my horse first.

I've sent someone to the city
to get one today.

Until then, you become the horse.
- I've become one.

Come on.

Oh, my God! What am I here for?
I'll be your horse. Come here.

Forget it, Munim!
A donkey can't be a horse.

You're right!
- You're a donkey!

Go and freshen up.

Your breakfast will be ready,
in the meantime.

I pray you are always jovial.

Sir, I've seen many
men who don't get

married for the sake
of their children.

But only you can sacrifice your
happiness for your sister.

I haven't sacrificed anything.

Laajo means the world to me.

Yes, obviously.

Madhav!

Ma'am, I'm preparing breakfast.

Move aside. I'll make the 'rotis'.

Please don't, ma'am.
Or else, the master will thrash me.

Move aside, or I'll...
- Okay!

What happened, ma'am? Let me see.

What happened?

Laajo!

Did you burn your fingers?
- No, sir!

She insisted on making 'rotis'
and got hurt.

You fool! Why did you allow her
to go near the stove?

I don't let her do anything,
and you made her cook 'rotis'.

Who would have been responsible
if she had hurt herself badly?

Useless fellow!
Don't ever do it again.

Come with me, dear!

Hey, Dhanpat! Hariya!

I hope you didn't
burn your fingers.

No, dad! I am alright.

You are a nice girl.

Your mother is no more which is why
you have to work so hard.

You must be feeling tired.

Who gets tired doing
their work, dad?

Well said, dear.

Now, hurry up and get dressed.
- Dad, I've dressed already.

Hurry up, dad,
I am getting late for school.

I'm ready.

Come on - This is your lunch,
and this is mine.

What is that?

It is for Kalu.
- Kalu!

Why are you carrying
food for him today?

What will he eat at school?

I'd be quite pleased if he
attended school regularly.

Let him do whatever he want.

Everyone in the village is
talking about his wayward ways.

He has gone missing along with
the calf since morning.

The Buffalo won't yield milk
without the calf.

I wish the worthless fellow
were never born.

I wouldn't have a brother, then.

He is a good-for-nothing.

For me, you're my only child.

Dad!

Come on!

Boss, let me
say something honestly.

Today is Independence Day

but as soon as the bell rings,
all of us will be behind bars.

Boss, work your miracles.

So, you want me to work
my charm.

I will definitely do it.
- That will be great.

Come with me.

I wonder why you guys are
sitting here doing nothing.

Today is a holiday.
- It must be a holiday for you.

Everyone has a day off.

The teacher won't come today.
His cow gave birth to a calf.

The teacher doesn't own a cow.
He owns a buffalo.

Is it? Then it must have given
birth. But something has happened.

The teacher won't come to school
today. All of you go back home.

Unless the teacher
tells us to leave,

we're not going anywhere.

That's incredible.

The teacher is new to this village,
and you already trust him so much.

I've been here for four years,
and you don't trust me at all.

I am a gentleman.

Otherwise, I could have taught
the teacher a lesson or two.

Is it?

Well then, tell us when and why did
Alexander and Porus go to war?

"Alexander and Porus
went to war against each other."

"What should I do if they
fought each other?"

"The 'Kauravas' had a scuffle
with the 'Pandavas'."

"What should I do if
they had a scuffle?"

"Alexander and Porus
went to war against each other."

"What should I do if they
fought each other?"

"All the pronunciations
of English are different."

"All these rules are so confusing."

"All the pronunciations
of English are different."

"All these rules are so confusing."

"Everything they teach me
goes over the top."

"What should I do if
they don't teach me right?"

"Alexander and Porus
went to war against each other."

"What should I do if they
fought each other?"

"The illiterate confectioner
enjoys 'halwa'."

"He gets to eat delicacies
every day."

"The illiterate confectioner
enjoys 'halwa'."

"He gets to eat delicacies
every day."

"He adds water to the milk."

"What should I do if no
cream is formed?"

"Alexander and Porus
went to war against each other."

"What should I do if they
fought each other?"

"He has a Bachelor's degree,
but he pulls a cart."

"He has a Masters degree,
but he sells bitter gourd."

"Buy bitter gourd."

"He has a Bachelor's degree,
but he pulls a cart."

"He has a Masters degree,
but he sells bitter gourd."

"This fellow hasn't eaten anything
for three days."

"What should I do if he
hasn't eaten anything?"

"Alexander and Porus
went to war against each other."

"What should I do if they
fought each other?"

Basanti.

You tell me, dear. How many
'Mashas' are there in one 'Tola'?

Twelve 'Mashas'.

How many 'Rattis' does
one 'Masha' contain?

Eight.
- Very good. Sit down!

So, eight 'Rattis'
make one 'Masha'.

One 'Tola' has 12 'Mashas'.

One 'Chatak' has five 'Tolas'.

16 'Chataks' makes one 'Sher'.

40 'Shers' make one 'Man'.

Laajo!

Yes, sir.

What was I teaching?

You were saying,
'40 'Mans' make one 'Sher'.'

You don't seem to be concentrating.

Bhonduram owes 10 rupees
15 Annas and 3 paise.

Banta Singh owes Rs 6.20.
- I see!

Karodimal Mahajan owes
19 rupees 3 Annas...

What happened, Laajo?
Why do you weep?

Did someone scold you?

I will never go to school.
- Okay, don't go!

But tell me, why are you crying?

The teacher beat me up.

How dare the teacher hit you!

Munim, call that
teacher here, at once.

How can he beat my sister?
Hurry up.

Dear, please stop crying.

I didn't hit her, Mr Chaudhary.
I just scolded her.

She was not attentive in the class.

Who told you that Laajo goes
to school to study?

I send her to school so that she
could play with other children.

How dare an ordinary teacher like
you hit my sister?

Mr Chaudhary,
I did it for her good.

You don't need to worry about our
welfare. Who do you think you are?

The school exists due to
my largesse.

The school will have to shut down
if I don't, and you will starve.

I'm sorry, Mr Chaudhary.
Please forgive me.

Don't apologise to me,
apologise to laajo.

You want me to apologise to laajo!
- Yes! Go ahead.

laajo won't go
to school today, Basanti.

I know that, Mr Chaudhary.

Why are you discontinuing her
education over a trivial issue?

Why should I educate her?
Education is not important.

Correct!
- Shut up!

You don't know the
importance of education.

We live in a different era,
Mr Chaudhary. Times have changed.

It's difficult to survive in
this world without an education.

The rich are two steps
ahead of everyone, dad.

He is right.

Sometimes, Kalu makes
a lot of sense.

Gangaram, no matter how much
the world has changed,

the rich will always
rule the roost.

You're absolutely right.

You said it right, Mr Chaudhary.

But only for wise people.

I'm a practical man, Gangaram.

It takes wealth, power
and land to bring the

world at your feet,
and I have all three.

All of this belongs to laajo.

What is the point of educating her?

It's pointless.

The educated work as labourers,
such are the vagaries of fate.

He is right.

Munim, do you agree with this fool?

Education spreads awareness.

Reconsider your decision,
Mr Chaudhary.

I agree that you're a rich man.

But it is difficult to find a good
groom for an uneducated girl.

It might be difficult
for you, Gangaram.

So, educate your daughter.

I can buy the best groom
for my laajo.

My sister's hand will be given
in marriage to an affluent man.

You're absolutely right.

I'm getting late for school, dad.

I'm going, laajo.

Yes.
- Come on.

15+2 = 17

Making it 17 rupees
13 Annas and 6 paise.

Okay! Get him to attest
his thumb print.

Come on.

Hey!

Get back.

laajo, what are you doing?
- Move along.

That job is meant for the servants.

Get along, Move away!

She won't move. Come on!

Come on. Move along.

She is so adamant.

I've told you so many times,
this is not your job.

Hey, Dhanpat! Hariya!

Come here on the double.
- Come on.

You never allow me to do anything.

I get bored sitting here by myself.

You are quite short-tempered.

I'll be back soon.
- Where are you going?

To meet Basanti.

Will you not tie a 'Rakhi' to me?

Prepare for the 'Puja'. I'll come
back soon and tie you a 'rakhi'.

50 sacks of potatoes.

Groundnut! 5+2=7.

Listen, Jeevan!
There is a limit to everything.

You better mend your ways

or else, I'll tell my brother and
have you thrown out of the village.

This is ridiculous, laajo.
Coughing is not a crime.

Am I right, Munim?
- Shut up!

Sometimes, even coughing
is a crime at this age.

But I've been coughing
since childhood.

I can't figure out why Shambhunath
called off my marriage to laajo

soon after my dad's demise.

He's a fool not to recognise
your worth.

You have changed
after living in the city.

You didn't use to drink.

You didn't use to gamble, either.

Chamku!
- I know the ways of the world.

Mr Chaudhary is jealous of you.

No problem.
He doesn't know me well enough.

I challenge you to get married
to laajo.

Basanti!
- Hey, laajo.

Do you have to study even
during a festival?

If I stop studying,

I'll be left behind.

You are so studious! Won't you
go to the carnival with me?

I'll certainly go with you.

Basanti!
- Just a minute, dad.

How are you, laajo?
- Greetings!

God bless you! Here's a letter.

Give it to your brother.

May I read it for you?

Shambhu will also need someone
to read it for him.

What does it say?

First, hold your breath.

It reads, 'Greetings to
Chaudhary Shambhunath'.

'As directed by you,
I've found a prospective groom'

'from an affluent
family for laajo.'

'He is a gem of a person.'

'I'm discussing the proposal
with them.'

'Please don't fix her marriage
to someone else.'

It is written by Mrs Thakur.

You must offer me sweets now.

You should offer me sweets, first.

You're getting married
in the next ten days.

How is your fiancé?

I know nothing about him.

I swear, I love studying.

Had my dad been wealthy,

I'd have studied further.

And become crazy.
- Hey, Kalu!

Your whispering has
disturbed my sleep.

You are still sleeping.
The sun is overhead.

The sun has gone wrong.

Do I have to wake up if
the sun rises at midnight?

I'll leave as I've to tie
'Rakhi' to Shambhu.

Yes.
- Okay!

Kalu, please freshen up.
I'll tie 'Rakhi' to you.

I won't celebrate this festival.

You sisters have found a nice way
to extort money from your brothers.

You idiot! Are you still here?

When will you go to the market?

Today is 'Rakshabandhan'.

I'll freshen up and get
a 'Rakhi' tied by Basanti,

and I'll give her a silver coin.
Give me the coin, dad.

Useless fellow!

I've taken a bath.
Tie the 'Rakhi' now.

Here's a rupee for tying the Rakhi.

And I take back
the money as a loan.

Don't worry. I'll return it
next year on 'Rakshabandhan'.

I'll take it from dad.

Why! Are you going
to meet Gauri today?

Basanti, I've told you several
times not to harass me.

I'm going to have fun
at the carnival, today.

"Your sister has brought
a colourful 'rakhi'."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"Your sister has brought
a colourful 'rakhi'."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"I won't ask for a gold or
silver necklace."

"I won't ask for a gold or
silver necklace."

"I won't ask for a gold or
silver necklace."

"All I ask for
is my brother's love."

"A bit of love is more than
all the wealth in the world."

"The 'rakhi' I brought
is filled with love."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"Let me bring the stars
from the sky."

"Let me bring the stars
from the sky."

"Let me bring the stars
from the sky."

"Or should I bring
the moon for you?"

"Or should I bring
you a lot of joy?"

"Your love makes
your sister extremely happy."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"When your sister
isn't with you..."

"When your sister
isn't with you..."

"When your sister
isn't with you..."

"When she is away from you,
she will be sad."

"She will be sad
and will be eager to meet you."

"I don't know when
we might get separated."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"Your sister has brought
a colourful 'rakhi'."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

Wood turns into coal
and coal turns into ash.

I am in a similar situation
right now.

Kalu!
- Yes, wait for me.

Why did you come here at this hour?

Leave. My father might come.

I'm not a fool.

Your father is selling ghee
in his shop right now.

Tell me, why didn't you
come to the fair today?

What happened?

Why are you crying?
What's the matter?

You won't be able to believe it.

A boy is coming to see me
with his father on the 16th.

My father has fixed the alliance.

What gives him the right
to fix your marriage?

What can you do?

Wait till the 16th to see
what I can really do.

What does he think of himself?

He is unaware of my abilities.

He sells oil and ghee.
I'm a postman's son.

I might even kill him.
- Gauri.

Shut up.
- My father is here.

Father! Father has come! Hide me.

Otherwise, I might kill him.

Come here. No, this way.

Here!
- Okay.

Who was here?
Whom were you talking to?

I wasn't talking to anyone, dad.

I'm cooking potatoes.

Are you cooking potatoes
or fooling your father?

Mr Chaudhary, don't misunderstand
me for saying this.

Something is fishy.
I think Kalu is here.

Thandu.
- Yes.

Get ready.
- Okay.

Who is it?
- Thandu.

Thandu, go and close the door.
I don't want him to escape.

Yes, I'll do it.

You've escaped before.
But today, there's no way out.

You! Where did he disappear?

Mr Chaudhary, I'm going.

Make sure you close the door. Or
else, someone else might break in.

Stop it.

What's the matter?

This wedding won't take place.

What is the reason?

We are being cheated. You didn't
tell us that she is disabled.

Watch your language.

Our daughter is not disabled.

My daughter is educated
and well-mannered.

She is crippled as well.

I can't insult our family by making
her my daughter-in-law.

Please, don't say so.

What is the harm if she
has a slight limp?

My house isn't an orphanage
to keep the crippled. Let's go.

A father's reputation
is at your feet.

If not me, at least show some
concern for an innocent's life.

The henna design applied
on her hands is still fresh.

For your daughter's sake,
I can't ruin my son's life.

Dayaram, please don't be so rude.

If my daughter doesn't get married,

I won't be able to survive
the pain of it.

Your tears won't
change my decision.

Let's go, brothers.
- Wait.

Gangaram's daughter is like
the daughter of the village.

Don't ruin the reputation
of the village.

If you want, I can gift you

Rs 1000-2000 to save the reputation
of this poor family.

I'm won't settle for such
a small amount of money.

What about 3000 or 5000?
I am ready to give you Rs 10000.

I can give whatever you demand.

I cannot refuse
if you insist so much.

But now, I refuse.

Daughter!

Stop the bargaining.

I don't want to go a house

where women are
bargained like cattle.

Have you lost it?
What are you saying?

I said what I must say.

You may leave now.

What happened, Thandu?

You get angry if the salary
is delayed by a day or two.

Why aren't you
so active while working?

Place the sweets here.
They must be coming.

Why are you here? Have you
not understood everything?

Kalu, I cannot do it.
Take back your money.

Hey, how can you ditch
me in the last moment?

Will you come along or not?
- Okay. I will.

Pandit Teluram.
- Welcome Pandit Kalicharan.

How did you recognize me?

How could I not?
I've received your letter.

My son has accompanied me today.

Greet your father.
- Greetings.

Please, come in.

Come in.

Firstly, please, have something.

Why not?

Dad, it is all about luck.

Not everyone gets
what they deserve.

Isn't the girl at home?
- She is here.

Gauri, please bring tea.

I hope you had
a comfortable journey.

We came here by foot.

He means, from the station.
- Yes, from the station.

Greet his father, dear.

You are her father.

Your daughter is beautiful.
She is taken after you.

But your son doesn't have
any of your qualities.

He is gone on his father.

Teluram...
- Come in.

Here is a letter for you.

Where are you going?

Let me introduce you to my
daughter's would be father-in-law.

He is Kalicharan, an astrologer.

Kalicharan? Astrologer?
- Yes.

That was in the past.
I'm only an astrologer, Gangaram.

How do you know my name?
- I'm an astrologer, you see.

You are great.
- Hail Lord Rama!

Don't make me a sinner
by touching my feet.

My son has given me lot of pain.
- I know.

Read my palm and tell me if
he will ever make me happy?

The future is unpredictable.

But I can assure you that

he is lucky to have you as father.

Please give him a solution.

Actually, his son has been
troubling him beyond limits.

Oh, really?

Hail Lord Rama!

One shouldn't talk evil about
a person behind his back.

I can say it on his face.

Teluram, show me your hand.

Strange!
- What is the matter?

It is not favourable for us.

But I can't help it. I can't lie.

I'm an astrologer after all.

The lines on your palms suggest

that the two of you will
become relatives soon.

What are you saying?

Forget about marriage, we won't
let his son enter our house.

Don't brag too much.

Those destined to come,
will come by God's grace.

You may begin preparations
for your son's marriage.

Forget God, even I can't prevent
this wedding from happening.

I'll take your leave.
- Bye.

Gangaram, please read
the letter before leaving.

Give it to me.

'Greetings, Teluram.'

'I hope you must have
received my earlier letter.'

'I had to stay back due
to some urgent work.'

'So, instead of the 16th,'

'I'll come on 18th with my son'

'to meet you.'

'From your well wisher,
Kalicharan.'

Kalicharan! Then who are you?

Who are you? - I'm Munim.

Kalu! I was already furious.

How could you do this, idiot?

Why are you ruining my life?

You are shredding down
the reputation of our family.

I won't spare you.
- Hey, where are you going?

I'll beat you to a pulp.

Beat me.
Beat me as hard as you can.

But listen to me carefully.

You are beating me today.

But soon, you will
approve our marriage.

Kalu, save me.

You worry about your
wedding attire!

Is it over?
- Yes.

You are useless.

Ma'am sent the letter
but isn't coming here.

You should have sent her a letter
or a man to invite her.

It takes a bit of a time
to do that.

If she doesn't come in a day or
two, I will go to the city myself.

Even I have a work to be
done by her.

I am sure you have some work
for me, Munim.

But it will be done
in the next life.

Greetings, Mr Chaudhary.
- Greetings. Have a seat.

We were just talking about you.

Have you fixed it?
- You can say it's fixed.

I never leave things incomplete.

You may go and see the boy,

complete the formalities
and fix the alliance.

We have to talk about
dowry as well, right?

That is the first thing
the boy's mother talked, Munim.

I told her

that she has to buy another
mansion to keep dowry.

You are right.
All this belongs to laajo.

I'll keep what's needed for me

and give the rest to laajo.

And what about me?

Keep something for me too.

I'll go with you.

I'll get ready while
you eat something. - Alright.

The girl looks beautiful
in the photograph.

She is much more beautiful
than her photograph.

That's okay.

But we have to see her family
background and her qualities.

You don't have to worry about it.

She will change the atmosphere
of this family in no time.

You can relax.
She'll do all the chores.

You can see their status.

We have turned down many proposals
as they didn't match our status.

We have people ready
to pay Rs 50000 dowry in cash.

It is alright if they pay a little
less in dowry. But the girl

should belong to a reputed family.

Why to compromise on dowry?

He is a wealthy man.
Isn't it, Mr Chaudhary?

You are right. Everything
I have is meant for laajo.

Not just 50,000, I'm prepared
to give Rs 1,00,000 as dowry.

Did you hear that?
They are a good family.

Congratulations, gentlemen.

Congratulations to you too.
Keep this.

The day after is an auspicious day
to fix the marriage.

As you wish.

Look, Deepak is back from college.

Deepak, meet
Mr Shambhunath Chaudhary.

Greetings.
- Greetings.

You should seek his blessings.

God bless you, young man.

I'd heard a lot about you,
and all of it seems to be true.

This is for you.
- But...

Take it.

Take it, son. You shouldn't
refuse your elders.

Well then, I'll be here
day after tomorrow.

Okay.
- Goodbye.

God bless you, my boy.

Who is Mr Chaudhary and why
did he give this to me?

This is nothing.
Just wait and watch

what he gives you at the wedding.

At the wedding!
- Oh yes!

He is the richest landlord
in the region.

And he has only one sister.

But you could at least
have asked me.

I haven't even completed
my studies yet.

You will continue studying
for the next 20 years.

Will you remain a bachelor
until then?

Marriage is not child's play, dad.

But it isn't meant
for old people either.

You must get married
when you are young.

That's alright, but...

I haven't even seen her.
I don't know anything about her.

We have fixed your marriage
after due consideration.

Besides, we won't choose a girl
who is not worthy of our only son.

She is one among thousands.

Here, have a look.
Isn't she beautiful?

Why are you feeling shy?

She is quite beautiful, indeed.

Come on, the wedding procession
is here.

What will happen now, Chaudhary?

What else?
I will teach Shambhu a lesson.

And that's a promise.

Why are you crying?

You should be happy.
You are going home.

Shambhu.

My dear, take your
brother's advice.

From now on, that is your home.

Consider your in-laws
as your parents.

And your husband is your God.

May you have a happy marital life.

Shambhu.

Shambhu!

Shambhu...

Basanti!
- laajo!

Laajo.

Greetings, uncle.
- Greetings, dear.

Have a seat, dear.

Congratulations.

Congratulations to you too.

Uncle.
- Here you go, dear.

What happened after that?

What happened, sir?

A doll!
- Yes.

You must have a baby who
can play with this doll soon.

Ladies and gentleman.

Today is a day of celebration.

Our friend Deepak is tied in
holy matrimony.

You can see the happiness
in Deepak's eyes.

All of you will be pleased to learn

that another friend of ours
also got married today.

Let me show you
how it happened for them

right here on this stage.

"The bride from Marwar
has arrived all decked up.'

"My groom is from Lucknow"

"He is mine now,
no more worries."

"The bride from Marwar
has arrived all decked up."

"My name is Abdul Latif."

"What is your name?"

"The world is full of wonders."

"My name is Chabili."

"Excellent.
- Let me be"

"What's this?
- An expensive jewel."

"What's this?
- A dress from Bikaner."

"I'm wearing an expensive jewel
on my head."

"I'm wearing a dress
from Bikaner."

"Excellent. May I ask something?"

"What did you bring
from your parents' house?"

"A trunk full of attitude."

"What else have you brought?
- My dazzling eyes."

"What's in your heart?"

"My sweet desire."

"Come with me to the garden
where you can hear... - What?"

"The chirping of birds."

"The garden belongs to my
neighbour. She might come there."

"When we sing a love song
she might come and see us."

"If she sees us together"

"she will become jealous."

"You show me attitude..."

"You keep telling me
to go away from here."

"What can I do if
I'm feeling shy?"

"The bride from Marwar has
arrived all decked up."

"My groom is from Lucknow."

"The bride is from Punjab,
and she is fantastic!"

"The groom is from Gujarat,
he is handsome."

"He is handsome."

"The bride is from Punjab,
and she is fantastic!"

"I am a boy from Gujarat."

"I am here to see you."

"How are you?
- I'm fine."

"How many?
- Five."

"Get lost.
- I'm gone."

"My heart beats for you,
and I am crazy about you."

"O my beloved, come to me."

"O my beloved, come to me."

"I will follow you
wherever you go."

"Where will our eyes meet?"

"Under a tree."

"Under a tree."

"What will you say to me there?"

"I will sing you a song."

"The train for Narwal is here."

"The train for Narwal is here."

"I can't stay away from you."

"You have driven me crazy."

"I will say what I want."

"The bride is from Punjab,
and she is fantastic!"

"The groom is from Gujarat.
He is handsome."

"He is handsome."

"The bride is from Punjab,
and she is fantastic!"

I request all of you to
stop troubling me.

Why shouldn't we? She is
waiting for you inside.

"The moth dances
around the flame..."

Shut up, shameless fellow!

Sister, you too...
- Why are you blushing like a girl?

Look. Even the bride is
laughing at you.

The world has been trying to
reach the moon for many years.

But no one has reached it.

But I got to the moon
without a rocket.

Lajwanti, please say something.

Have you taken an oath of silence?
- What?

Not an oath of silence,
but I've observed a fast.

Great!

You are so innocent.

I will never forget this moment.

Here. Break your fast.

Have it.

You have some too.
- I will if you feed me.

Wait, you rascal.

Mom's love has spoiled Kishore.

Is he your brother?

Yes, you can say so.

He is the son of a
loyal, old accountant.

He was orphaned
at a very young age.

Mom raised him like her own son.

He is very naughty.

Don't mind him.

He was eager to see my wife.

What about you?

I had lost my sleep.

You can run from me.

But you can't run
from my other wife.

Your other wife!

Yes. How can I hide it from you?

I have been married once before.

What?
- Yes.

Although she is mute and deaf.

I don't know what made
me fall for her.

At times, I spend the entire night
just looking at her.

When I wake up in the morning,
I find her resting on my chest.

Come and meet her.
- No, please.

There's nothing to be scared of.
Come and meet her.

This is my other wife. My library.

Libra... - I have been very fond
of books since childhood.

You have such a passion for it.

I got scared for an instant.

You have nothing to be scared of.

I'm sure both of you can live
together forever.

Because I love her...

and you too.

Will you do me a favour?

It is our first night together.

It would be a pleasure
to hear your sweet voice

reciting the poem by
the great poet Bihari

whose metaphorical beauty
and sensuality

entices the heart of the listener.

But...
- Don't be shy.

Bring that book.

Sing the verses in such a note that
the whole world starts dancing.

But...

The book is right here.
Go and pick it up.

What is this?
You picked up Shakespeare's play.

But...

The thing is that...
- What's the matter?

The thing is...

I didn't understand you.

What do you mean?

I...

My brother didn't educate me.

Are you illiterate?

Can't you read and write?

Oh! So until now I was banging
my head against a wall.

I was trying to talk to a fool.

Please, listen to me.
- Let go of me.

I have been betrayed.

You are not the woman
I thought you were.

We had been waiting
for this very day.

Lajwanti has made us rich.

And you sold your son
for all this wealth.

You sold my happiness.

You shattered my dreams.

What are you talking about?

I couldn't have imagined

that you would get your son married
to an illiterate girl for money.

You have betrayed me.

Deepak! - You have brought
eternal darkness in my life.

Mom! You can keep your
Lajwanti in a showcase.

I don't want to see her face.

You don't need to do that.

Ramu is not well today.

Go in the kitchen and
prepare breakfast. - Breakfast?

Why? Is the pampered rich girl
ashamed to do the household chores?

No, mother. - What are you
waiting for? Get to work.

Kishore, stop whistling.

I was feeling hungry

so I thought I'd
divert my attention.

Today the breakfast must be special
since Lajwanti is making it.

Lajwanti, hurry up!
Deepak has to leave for college.

And it's time for me
to go to school.

Kishore, go and check how long
it's going to take.

Okay.

Is the breakfast ready, Lajwanti?

So this is the breakfast.
I'll go and serve it to Deepak.

Kishore!

Wow! Let me show you the
delightful breakfast she has made.

Doesn't this look like the map
of India? And here's the omelette.

Just the fragrance is enough.
- Oh God! What is this?

An omelette.

Curse my fate!
She doesn't know anything.

No, mom. She seems quite talented.

Why did you bring it out?
Throw it in her face.

No, mom. She is not the one
to blame for this.

She's made us rich and prosperous.

She doesn't need to
make breakfast for you.

Where are you going?

Wait, I'll fix you some breakfast.

I can eat at a hotel.

Is this what your family
has taught you?

Don't you dare step
into the kitchen again.

I dread to think what will
become of our son now!

We will have to find
a solution to this.

We can't let his life be ruined.

Let go of me. - I know that
I'm not worthy of you.

I beg you to let me serve you.

I don't need a maid to serve me.

"I will never stop loving him."

"Even if he hates me,
I will be faithful to him."

"If my faith doesn't do me good,"

"then he must tell me what to do."

"I will never stop loving him."

"I embrace the sorrow he gives me."

"For it's a gift he gave me."

"I embrace the sorrow he gives me."

"For it's a gift he gave me."

"For it's a gift he gave me."

"My grief will last a lifetime."

"How do I overcome it?"

"I will never stop loving him."

"There seems to be no light."

"My life is an endless night."

"There seems to be no light."

"My life is an endless night."

"My life is an endless night."

"It's written in my fate"

"to live in agony forever."

"I will never stop loving him."

"No one desires me."

"No one wishes to see me."

"No one desires me."

"No one wishes to see me."

"No one wishes to see me."

"I long to spread my fragrance,"

"but there's no sign of spring."

"I will never stop loving him."

"Even if he hates me,"

"I will be faithful to him.
"If my faith doesn't do me good,"

"then he must tell me what to do."

"I will never stop loving him."

Kishore, will you write
a letter for me?

Write a letter!
Deepak writes books.

Lajwanti can't even write a letter.

I'm sorry.
I don't have time to waste.

Ma'am, shall I write your letter?

Ramu. You are a good man.

Who should I write it to?

To my brother in the village.

Write.

Greetings, my dear brother.

I wanted to write to you,
but I couldn't.

That's because ever since
I've come to this house...

Awaiting your reply.

Written by your dear sister.

Don't say it's written by you.
You got it written.

You are disgracing our family by
getting it written by a servant.

Aren't you ashamed,
you shameless wretch?

She is out of her mind. How
dare you write a letter for her?

Aren't you ashamed to get
it letter written by a servant?

You must have complained about me.

You must have abused me.
You must have discredited me.

I know what kind of people
you and Shambhu are.

Give the letter to me!

Let me see what rubbish
you have written about me.

No.
- I'm not afraid of this letter.

You can write any
number of letters.

I only want to know what you
have written in it. - No.

Give it to me.
- No.

I said, give it to me!
- No.

'Greetings to my dear brother.'

'I wanted to write a letter
for long, but I couldn't.'

That's because ever since I've
come to this house, I've been busy.

'Mother pampers me a lot.'

'And Kishore keeps chatting
with me all day long.'

'Don't ask me about my husband.'

'He takes such good care of me
that he even forgets his work.'

'To be honest, he has made
me forget my parents' house.'

'He is so nice that I don't
consider myself worthy of him.'

His love makes me feel
like I'm in paradise.

laajo!

laajo!

Forgive me. I made a big mistake.

No. It's not your fault.
It's my brother's fault.

He didn't think twice
before getting

his illiterate sister
married to you.

It's my fault. I've robbed
this family of its happiness.

Don't say that, laajo.

Your letter has opened my eyes.

Despite my rude behaviour
you sang my praises.

You have proved how noble you are.

No. I don't consider
myself worthy of you.

No. You deserve to be adored
and worshipped.

Your brother's pampering
and wealth didn't let you study.

It's not your fault.

Knowledge is precious for man.

But you have compassion, which
is invaluable. It's priceless.

Forgive me, laajo.

Tell me that you have forgiven me.
- No.

Don't make me a sinner
by saying that.

I should seek your forgiveness.
- No, laajo. I've committed a sin.

I hurt your feelings.

I'll make amends for it.
I'll teach you personally.

I will help you overcome all your
shortcomings and make you competent

so that people become proud of you.

Laajo, please smile for me.

Just for once

so that I can be happy as well.

Laajo.

Please smile for me once.

For your Deepak.

That's right, Laajo.

Music is in the air.

Have you written it?

Yes, sir.
- Let me see it.

Which language is this?
- What!

You are educated.
Read for yourself.

It must be some language.

You are so quick-witted.

Why can't you concentrate on
your studies?

I... I'm lost in you.

I cannot even get angry
because of your innocence.

Forget it. You have shown
me how well you can write.

Do you remember the poem
or have you forgotten it?

"You considered me worthy
of your love."

"My heart skips a beat."

"I've found the love of my life."

"You considered me worthy..."

"Yes. I accept your decision."

"Yes. I accept your decision."

"From the bottom of my heart,
I thank you, my lord."

"For including me in your life
with a smile."

"My heart skips a beat."

"I've found the love of my life."

"You considered me worthy..."

"I'm made for you."

"And you are made for me."

"I'm made for you."

"And you are made for me."

"I have nothing to fear."

"As you are by my side."

"Let the world know,
I've met my soul mate."

"My heart skips a beat."

"I've found the love of my life."

"You considered me worthy..."

"You have filled my heart
with your love."

"You have filled my heart
with your love."

"And made my life melodious."

"I've got all the happiness
in the world."

"You considered me worthy
of your love."

"My heart skips a beat."

"I've found the love of my life."

"You considered me worthy..."

Well, sir, did I recite
the poem right?

Did I recite the poem right?

The lips that recited this poem...

You are so bad.

laajo, if you pay attention
to your studies

as much as you pay to me,
you can pass 10th grade next year.

10th grade?
- Yes.

But this year...

I'll become MA.

You mean Master of Arts?

No. Don't you understand
the meaning of MA?

What does M and A together make?

Oh, my God!
Am I going to become a father?

Tomorrow is an auspicious day
and the festival of 'Rakhi'.

You can tie 'Rakhi' to Shambhu.

And he will be thrilled
to hear the news.

I'll send him the 'Rakhi'.

Why?

Kishore isn't keeping well.

Who will take care of
him if we go away?

We will go to the village
during your holidays.

During the holidays.

Both of us!
- Yes.

By then, the three of us can go.

Who is the third person?

The third person will be the
one who won't need a ticket.

You are impossible!

Was there a call for me yesterday?
- Not that I know of.

Lajwanti.
- Yes.

Yes, there was a call. He spoke
about buying or selling something.

I couldn't understand.

Did you hear that?

A small mistake on her part
caused me to lose Rs 15,000!

I fail to understand why I got
my son married to her.

Let bygones be bygones.
You need to control your temper.

Deepak has finally
started talking to her.

Shut up. It all because of you.

I wouldn't have to see this day
if you hadn't made me greedy.

Well, Munim, take care.
I'll be back by tomorrow.

It's said one who is
leaving shouldn't

be asked where he's headed.

So, can I ask you where
you are taking the horse?

I'm going to meet laajo. The
festival of Rakhi has passed by.

But she didn't come here and
she didn't send a letter, either.

laajo is not well educated to
write to you whenever she pleases.

She stays far away from here.

Had she been nearby, you wouldn't
have to worry about her.

Jeevan!
- I didn't say anything wrong.

I will bring Laajo to you
on the occasion of 'Rakhi'.

If you utter one more word,
I will beat you up.

Got that?

Look,

I'm going to the temple.
Take care of Kishore.

Give him the medicine in
the bottle when he wakes up.

Do you understand?
- Yes, mother.

You are awake!

How do you feel now?

Why did you wake me up?
- It's time for your medicine.

I won't have it. It's bitter.

How will you recover if you don't
have your medicines?

I'll go and get it.

Kishore, is this your medicine?

Yes, it is.
But I said I won't have it.

Kishore, you better have it else
I'll call Ramu to hold you up.

Get up and have your medicine.

Father!
- Don't you dare call me father.

How can you give poison to a kid?

Poison!
- Yes, this is poison.

I'd never imagined that
you would stoop so low.

You want to kill him just
because he teased you once.

Get out of my house.
- No!

Stop looking at me and get out.

I'll throw you out today.
- No, father.

Get out of my house.
- Father.

There is no place for you
in this house.

I didn't do it deliberately.
I'm sorry.

I would hand you over to police if
you weren't my daughter-in-law.

No, father.
Please don't misunderstand me.

I thought it was
Kishore's medicine.

You know I'm illiterate.

Even if I believe you, you don't
deserve to stay in this house.

Your ignorance could be dangerous.

Get out of my sight.
- No, father.

Go to your illiterate brother.

Mr Thakur, you can abuse me.

I can't say a word,
as I'm her brother.

But your behaviour with your
daughter-in-law doesn't befit you.

I don't consider her my
daughter or daughter-in-law.

Is this why you got your son
married to her? - Shambhu.

Is this why you were so
friendly with me?

It was an inauspicious day for us.
We are still repenting for it.

Mr Thakur.

I considered you
to be a honest man.

Little did I know that you gave us
all that money to hide her flaws.

Mind your language! You are
crossing all limits. - Shambhu...

I'd have retaliated with bullets
if you weren't elder to me.

What else can be expected of a man
who comes from a despicable family?

Thakur!
- Shambhu!

Who are you to interfere?

What right do you have to interfere
in matters concerning my family?

Go away.
Don't ever come here again.

I'm very happy here.

I can see that, laajo.

I'm sorry, Mr Thakur.

It's neither your fault
nor laajo's. It's my fault.

I gave my doted sister to
merciless people like you.

Stop this nonsense.
Get out of here.

laajo, see what I've
brought for you.

What's the matter?

Tell me. What's the matter?

Kishore, what happened to her?
- What can I say?

Dad shouldn't have done that.

I wonder what's bothering him.

Don't worry, laajo.
I'll bring Shambhu back.

Send her to him instead.
- Father.

Didn't you hear what she did?
- I've heard what you did too.

I'm ready to accept her
with all her short comings.

I fail to understand why
you continue to trouble her.

You were at fault earlier,
and you have erred again.

Deepak!

Her only fault
is that she is illiterate.

You accused her unnecessarily.

By insulting her and her brother,
you disgraced our entire family.

Shut up! Get this straight.

If you bring that uncouth fellow
here, you will face my wrath.

I'll throw you out.

You won't get a dime of my money.

People consider their children
as their true wealth.

Unfortunately, your wealth means
more to you than your children.

Keep your wealth with you.
I don't need it.

Hey! Leave me!

It's not their fault, Mr Chaudhary.
I'm to be blamed here.

And you are to be blamed for
shattering my dreams.

You left no stone unturned
to humiliate me.

I'd like you to tell me how
should I repay your favours.

What do you intend to do?

I intend to avenge my insult.

Don't be foolish, Jeevan.
Come back to your senses.

If you cannot make
your family proud,

at least don't disgrace it.

Go away from here.

Blood!

What are you waiting for?

He is dead.

Inform the police.

Murder! Catch him!

Don't let him get away!

Nurse!

Deepak, what have you done?

'Get out of this house.'

'You have ruined us. Are you
still here to watch the fun?'

'You witch, aren't you satisfied
with causing my son's death?'

'Do you want us to suffer more?'

'You are a witch.
You killed your husband.'

'Get out. Get out of my sight.'

'Go away.'

'There is no place
for you in this house.'

Get lost!

"Look, someone's house
is destroyed."

"Look, someone's house
is destroyed."

"Someone's life is ruined."

"She has suffered such misfortune,"

"she can't stop shedding tears."

"Look, someone's house
is destroyed."

"Someone's life is ruined."

"She has suffered such misfortune,"

"she can't stop shedding tears."

"Look, someone's house
is destroyed."

"All my happiness"

"is gone with the wind."

"Fate gave me untold grief"

"when I'd just begun to smile."

"I have lost my soul mate."

"Where do I go?
I've no one to turn to."

"Look, someone's house
is destroyed."

"The path is difficult
and the destination is far away."

"My life is filled with darkness."

"And there's no glimmer of hope."

"The seasons will change."

"But my old days will
never come back."

"Look, someone's house
is destroyed."

"I can't stop shedding tears,"

"and the sky is crying too."

"After ruining me,
it's being indifferent."

"The rain might stop,
but my tears won't stop."

"Look, someone's house
is destroyed."

"Someone's life is ruined."

"She has suffered such misfortune,"

"she can't stop shedding tears."

"Look, someone's house
is destroyed."

Who are you and
who are you looking for?

Why is the door locked?

The Government has locked it up.
- What?

Yes. Shambhunath fled
after killing a landlord.

Murder!
- Yes.

The police are searching for him.

Who is it?

Who are you?
- I'm the postman here.

Where is Uncle Gangaram?
- He has passed away.

Then, where are Basanti and Kalu?

I have no idea where they went.

Who do you want to meet?

Where is everybody?
The lights are switched off.

The house is bound to
be plunged in darkness

as the elder son of the
family is no more.

What do you mean?
- Deepak died in a car accident.

That's why the entire family
moved to some other city.

What about their daughter-in-law?

Tragedy has befallen her.

Her in-laws branded her a jinx
and threw the pregnant girl out

once the husband was cremated.

But who are you?

I'm a friend of laajo's brother.

Then you might know that the
poor man is charged with murder.

Yes.

If that unfortunate man finds out,
he'll take his own life.

'If the unfortunate man finds out,
he'll take his own life.'

'If the unfortunate man finds out,
he'll take his own life.'

Greetings!

What's the matter?

I'm from a poor family.

Can I get a job here?

Can you cook?

I'll learn in a few days.

You can come here after I
employ a servant to teach you.

Can you read and write?

Can you teach my kids?

Let's go, son.

You don't know how to cook,
sew, read or write.

But we'll hire you to
clean the dishes.

I already hired a maid
this morning to do the dishes.

'Can you cook?'

'You can come here after I
employ a servant to teach you.'

'Can you read and write?
Can you teach my kids?'

'You don't know how to cook,
sew, read or write.'

Are you alone?

Aren't you ashamed of troubling
a poor woman?

Don't you know how
to respect women?

Get lost, or I'll hand
you over to the police!

What's the matter?
Where do you want to go?

What can I say?
- Then come with me.

I...

Don't worry. I've a family.

The times are bad.
Where will you go at this hour?

Come with me.

Garlands!

Flowers! Garlands!

Why did you stop? Come on.

Leave me!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

Who is it? What happened?

Is it you, laajo?

laajo! laajo!

Listen! Come here quickly.

laajo!
- What happened?

Get some water please.

laajo!

laajo!

Basanti, it's a girl!

Really? Hey, Gauri!

What happened?
- laajo has given birth to a girl.

A girl child?
- Yes.

Go and call Kalu from the shop.
- Yes, I'll be right back.

'Kaluram's lassi shop, we only sell
milk and lassi made of pure yogurt'

'The products are available
from 8 in the morning'

'till 10 in the night. Notice
that all of you must maintain'

'a queue and come during the
working hours to avoid the crowd.'

Do we have a customer?

We're not so lucky.

All the shops are filled
with customers.

Only our shop is vacant.

This three-day-old dry curd
is lamenting its fate.

Kalu, here comes a customer.

Ice-cold 'lassi'!
Delicious 'lassi'!

Have some 'lassi'.

Please come, sir.

Two glasses of sweet 'lassi'.

Right away.

You're lucky. There's
just one pot of fresh curd.

Here you go. Drink it and enjoy.

Isn't the 'lassi' intoxicating?

It's the other way round!
- It's sour!

Is this 'lassi' or vinegar?

Return our money!
- What money?

We work here. We can only take
the money and not return it.

Where's the owner? - He's having
'lassi' in that shop.

Cheats! - We're in a rush
or else we would have thrashed you.

Let's go. - Come on.
They are cheating their customers!

Ice-cold sweet 'lassi'!
- Delicious 'lassi'!

Have some 'lassi'.

Did you hear the news? It's a girl!
- What nonsense!

It's impossible. We've only
been married for three months!

Then it must be a boy.
- The two of you have no brains!

A girl child is born to laajo.
- Oh! I'm such an idiot.

Hurry up and come home.
- Yes. Let's go.

Thandu!
- I'm here.

Ice-cold 'lassi'!
Delicious 'lassi'!

Have some lassi!

I have neither my parents'
house nor my in-laws.

I feel like ending my life.

Shut up!

Tell me Basanti,
who should I live for?

For this little child.

For the memory of your husband.

But, Basanti...
- Don't say anything.

You need to be patient, laajo.

Look at me.
I had to go through a lot.

I lost my father.

But the education I got helped
me survive.

I got a job and...
Here comes my husband.

Did you hear the news? It's a girl!
- That's great.

Congratulations, laajo!

What a sweet child!

Forget the past, laajo.

Now, consider this as your home.

And bring up this child.
It will give peace to his soul.

I'll be at peace when
I embrace my niece.

You've come here for the
first time. What will you have?

Tea, coffee, lemon juice
or soft drinks?

Or fresh, cool
and delicious 'lassi'?

Don't laugh.
This isn't your parents' house

where they don't even offer water.

Isn't it?

What happened, Kiran? What's wrong?

I won't go to school.
The teacher beat me up.

You must have done something.
What did you do?

I forgot to do my homework.

Then, your teacher did
the right thing. Go back to school.

I won't go.

You won't go! What do you mean
by that?

Go from here.

What happened, laajo?
Why did you hit Kiran?

I wish my brother
had given me a tight slap.

Life wouldn't have been
so unkind to me, then.

You said that if I pay my respects
he will surely return.

I always pay my respects.
Then, why doesn't he return, mom?

He will return.

He'll definitely come back.

When will he come back?

God lives far away.
It takes time to return.

Oh! Dad will get tired.

Mom, may I go there instead?

Don't ever say that.

Don't ever say that.

What's the matter?
What are you thinking?

I was wondering why
the people I love

always leave me?

Who?

Your dad.

Your uncle.

And one day, you'll also leave me.

No, mom! How can I leave you?

When you grow up and get married,

you'll go to your husband's house.

I won't talk to you!
- Hey, Kiran!

Why are you blushing?

Sooner or later,
you'll have to get married.

I said I won't talk to you.

No mother wants her
child to ever go away.

But it has to be done.

If you don't stop
saying that, I won't

take you to my college function.

Will you punish your mom
so severely?

Dear,

I have waited for this
for many years.

But I won't go if ask me to.

Mother.

My sweet daughter.

I wish such functions
happen every day.

Whether we meet or not...

Hello, Thakur. It has been long
since we met.

Have a seat.
- Thank you.

We are meeting each other
after a long time. - Yes.

And I'm here regarding
my factory...

Kishore!
- Yes, dad.

Why have you come here?
Why didn't you go to the office?

Dad, you know that I spent
a part of my life in this college.

You have wasted your time here.

Go to the office.
- Okay.

Go now.
- Okay, dad.

Respected guests and dear students.

You will be glad to know that
a wealthy and respected resident

of this city Thakur Mahendra Nath
has agreed to be

the chief guest
at our function today.

I request Mr Thakur

to come on stage
and honour the gathering.

I request him to hand over
the degree certificates

to the college graduates.

Kamal Khanna.

Ms Renu Kapila.

Ms Jagjit Kaur.

And Ms Kiran.

You'll be glad to know

that Ms Kiran has stood first in
the college in the BA exams.

Well done, my child.

I thank the Principal
and the college committee

for giving me the honour to
preside over this function.

Evidently, the successful students

are stepping into a new life.

I bless them with all the success
in every test of life.

On this occasion,
I can't forget Ms Kiran.

I appreciate her hard work

and all the efforts
by her teachers.

On this occasion, I'll also have
to appreciate Ms Kiran's parents.

They had the perseverance
to educate their child.

And honestly, the mother must be
applauded more than the father.

Because a mother wields more
influence on the children.

The woman who gave
birth to this child

would be very pragmatic
and competent.

All such women,
with their education,

make their family
and the country proud.

I thank all those present here,

and take your leave.

Mr Thakur, you praised my mother.
Let me introduce you to her.

Sure. I'd like to meet her too.

Mom!

She must have gone home
to share the good news.

Some other time, perhaps.

So, tell me, what are
your future plans?

You'll pursue MA, right?

Yes, but I'll do
a correspondence course.

Why won't you go to college?

Mr Thakur, my mother educated
me with great difficulty.

She has worked day and night.

Now, I want to take up a job
and serve her.

That's great. It's a noble thought.

I'll personally try
to find you a good job.

Mr Thakur...
- Here's my card.

Come and see me in
my office in a couple of days.

Thank you so much.

Don't mention it.

Kishore!

Yes, dad.

Why are you still here?
What did I tell you?

I was going to the bank,
so I thought I should meet you.

Come with me.
- I need to cash a cheque first.

Okay, Kiran! Goodbye!
- Goodbye!

Congratulations.
- Thank you.

I beg your pardon. Give me
a chance to thank you as well.

You know that I've been going up
and down this road for months.

Talk to me on the occasion
of your grand success.

You better mend your ways.

If you ever do this again,
you will face my wrath.

I know how to get my way.

I'll teach a good lesson to the
lawyer you are crazy about.

My lord, I confess
to the crime of not

attending your college's
convocation ceremony.

And appeal for clemency.

I had an important case
in the court.

Well then, go there,
and come back only

after the verdict
has been delivered.

But how can I leave the High Court?

Leave me.

Kiran, I had a weird dream
last night.

I was standing in the witness box
and you had accused me of theft.

What did you steal?

That's what I'd like to know.
What have I stolen?

"My beloved stole my heart."

"My beloved stole my heart."

"I am crazy about him."

"My beloved stole my heart."

"My beloved stole my heart."

"Hey, nightingale."

"Hey, nightingale."

"You haven't seen my beloved."

"You'd fall for him if you did."

"You haven't seen my beloved."

"You'd fall for him if you did."

"Don't you taunt me."

"Hear him play the flute."

"My beloved stole my heart."

"My beloved stole my heart."

"When he's with me,
I can't take my eyes off him."

"I hold his hand and never let go."

"When he's with me,
I can't take my eyes off him."

"I hold his hand and never let go."

"I wish he's always with me."

"Like a village belle
with her pot."

"My beloved stole my heart."

"I am crazy about him."

"My beloved stole my heart."

Kiran, I have great news for you.

Have you found me a job, Mr Thakur?

Yes, in this company.
You'll be paid Rs 300 per month.

300! My mom will be delighted
to hear this news.

You don't need to come here
for the appointment letter.

I'll call you here in
a couple of days.

You're great, Mr Thakur.

I'll remain indebted
to you for life.

Silly girl. You should be grateful
for being capable.

Kiran, you remind me of my son.

Like you, he was
an exemplary student.

What happened to him?

Yes, Kiran.

It is said, you pay for your
sins in your next birth.

But I got punished in this birth.

A little error on my part
destroyed my family.

Had he been alive,
I'd have grandchildren of your age.

Consider me as your grandchild.

God bless you.

May I take your leave?

Okay.

Greetings!

She looks in rage but
at least looks at me.

I'm pleased that I am in her sight.

You are quite stubborn.
It'd be better if you go your way.

This is my path and my destination
is in front of me.

I warn you
to behave properly or else...

Will you get your lawyer
to file a case against me?

I will have to complain
to Mr Thakur!

Really?
That's what I was waiting for.

You'll say something and so will I.
Maybe things will work out.

Come on!
- Leave my hand.

A gentleman doesn't leave
a girl's hand once he holds it.

Who are you? Let go of me!

A gentleman doesn't leave
a man's neck once he grabs it.

Go home, Kiran.
He's going to the hospital.

Let me go! Don't you know who I am?

I know patriots like you well.

Thandu!
- Yes.

Let's have something hot.
- Okay.

Where are you running away?

Have something first.

Ice-cold 'lassi'!
Delicious 'lassi'!

Have a glass'lassi'.

Don't be so harsh.
Beat a poor man gently.

Come forward, sir. Come here.

Let's go.

Tell me, sir.

How can I help you?

Do you like your lassi
with sugar or salt?

He is useless.
He won't have it with salt.

He would have a sweet lassi.

Really? Let's do it then.

We take your leave.

I hope you won't repeat
what you did today.

Come on, Thandu.

No problem.

Now, I'll have to resort to
other means.

You're in a good mood.
What happened?

You'll be shocked to know it!
I got a job. My salary is Rs 300.

You are lucky. You got a job
as soon as you cleared BA.

I have completed my
studies and have become

a lawyer, but haven't
yet got a girl.

Talk to the girl's mother.

Why don't you do it?
- I feel shy.

Am I shameless?

You're not shameless,
but you're a lawyer.

What did you say?

Hey! Leave my hand.

Suraj, I have an idea.

Why don't you tell your old servant
to talk to my mother?

Kiran, don't ever
call him a servant.

I respect him as much as
I respect my father.

Who is he?

I never asked him.

But he seems overcome by grief.

Years ago, he tried
to drown himself in the sea.

My father rescued him.

Since then, he's with us.

He loves me like a son.

He dreams of getting me married.

It's said that you must not delay
fulfilling your elders wishes.

Then, let's go to him.

Sir!

Suraj!

What happened?
- Come in, Kiran.

Greetings, sir!
- God bless you.

Can I tell you something?
- Yes, go ahead.

Actually... You tell him.

You tell him.

I know what you want to say.

I like the pair of Suraj and Kiran.

Kiran says that you will have to
talk to her mother.

I didn't say that. He did.

That's fine.

But you know
that I don't go anywhere.

Kiran, why don't you
tell your mother?

What are you saying?

Won't she thrash me if
I say it to her?

In that case,
won't she thrash me as well?

You are elder.
My mom is younger to you.

Can a younger sister
beat her elder brother?

You are right, Kiran.

When will you go?
- I'll go. I'll have to go.

Sweet 'ladoo'. Delicious 'ladoo'.

Thandu, it's time to get hot.
- Okay.

What? Work faster.

Uncle, will you distribute
these 'ladoos'?

Kiran, you've got a job
that will pay you Rs 300.

We should make
at least 300 'ladoos'.

The 'ladoos' are delicious.

It depends on the intentions of
the one who makes them Gauri.

Your father also made 'ladoos'
for your marriage.

The guests broke their
teeth but not the 'ladoo'.

Isn't it, Thandu?

Say something.

What can he say?
His mouth is stuffed.

Really?

You idiot! I asked you to use
your hands not your mouth!

Spit out the 'ladoo'.

Don't do that, Kalu.

I'm so happy for Kiran.

If I could, I'd distribute
'ladoos' in the entire city.

Then, let me get started.

'How will you face laajo?'

'What have you given her?'

'You have caused her
unbearable grief and humiliation.'

'Time has healed
the poor girl's wounds.'

'Do you want to open her wounds?'

'Don't forget that you are
charged with murder.'

'You can give them nothing
but problems.'

'If you want the welfare
of your sister and niece,'

'then go away from here.'

'Go away.'

Suraj, this was
the only secret of my life.

That I hid from all.

It hurts me to leave you.

But I can't help it.

Are you Kiran?

Yes. Tell me.

Mr Thakur has sent me.

He wants you to collect
your appointment letter.

My mom isn't at home.
Tell him I'll collect it tomorrow.

He's going out of town tomorrow
for a long period.

You should go today. It concerns
your job. Don't put it off.

We will be travelling by car.
It won't take much time.

Go ahead.
- Okay, aunt.

Mom!

Stop the car, it's my mom.

Kiran!

Stop!

Mom!

Hurry up!

I said hurry up!

Stop it.

For God sake save my daughter!

Somebody has abducted
her in that car!

Come with me.

Open the gate.

I'm here to close the gate,
not to open it.

She seems to be in danger.

We must inform the police.
Come with me.

No! My daughter is in there.
Open the gate.

Open the gate!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Well, the door is open.

Kishore!
- Yes, it's me.

You never invited me.

But I've made you my guest today.

I never imagined
you'd stoop so low!

Stay back. Let me go!

Don't worry.
I've made every arrangement.

Nobody can get in here.

Let me go! You rascal!

Let me go!

Mother.

Let me go!

Are you done abusing me?

All your abuses won't make
me change my mind.

It is about to begin now.

I beg you, please have mercy.

I'm being merciful to a poor girl
like you by holding your hand.

Help!

There's no point shouting
at the top of your voice.

Not even God can save you.

Mom!

Who?

Kishore!

Who let you in? Who are you?

If you find out who I am,
you'll die of shame!

Why didn't you die before trying to
dishonour a girl from your family?

What are you saying?
Who are you?

Have you gone blind?
Don't you recognise me?

How can I recognise you?
- You can.

I am Lajwanti, your sister-in-law.

Who loved you like a mother.

Kiran is your brother
Deepak's daughter.

Have you forgotten all your
relationships? - Relationships!

What relationship?

Does living with someone for a
few days make them your relatives?

I was an orphan and I am one.

But if you wish we can form
a new relationship.

Shut up!

You should be grateful that
you're a woman.

And Kishore doesn't beat up women.

Move. Now!
- Kishore.

Kishore!
- Mom!

Kishore, let my daughter go.

Now I have to deal with you.

Come with me.
- I won't, Kishore. Let me go.

Won't you go?

I guess you won't live long.

Ramu!

Now whose life is at risk?

Give it to me.

This isn't your cup of tea.

You are destined
to die at my hands.

You might recall you almost
died at my hands accidentally.

If you don't come to your senses,

I'll have to shoot you!

Shoot me?

Where will you gather courage
from to shoot me?

You don't know how courageous
a woman can me.

A mother can risk
her life for her child.

Shut up and return my pistol!

Kishore, do not step forward!

I warn you. Don't step forward!

There's still time, Kishore.
Don't step forward.

Kishore!

Don't let anyone get out.

Move.

And if it's a crime to save

an innocent girl from the
clutches of an evil man,

I confess my crime.

I killed Kishore.

Whatever the court decides,
will be acceptable to me.

My lord, the accused
is trying to tone down

his crime by making a confession.

His record proves that
he's a habitual criminal.

He has served a 7-year
sentence for murder.

If you wish, the court will
appoint a lawyer for you.

My lord, I am his lawyer.

I seek permission
to fight his case.

Granted.
- My lord, I can say for sure

that the accused is a good man.

Under no circumstances
can he kill an innocent.

You'll be sorry to hear that
the accused has confessed.

I wish to throw light on the
circumstances leading to murder.

The fact that the malicious intent
of the victim forced a good man

to shoot him cannot be ignored.

Just think about it.

If the accused hadn't arrived in
the nick of time and done his duty

as a good citizen,
which court of law

could have given back the
unfortunate girl her dignity

which is more precious
than human life?

In that situation
any man's blood would boil.

And the accused is
related to the girl.

Are they related?

Yes. Kiran is his niece.

The accused Shambhunath
is Lajwanti's brother!

Shambhu!

What is this I see?

She is his sister who has
been in the hospital since then.

Sir, please let my brother go.

He is innocent!

I killed Kishore. I'm the murderer.
- Laajo!

I swear,
my brother is lying to save me!

That is wrong!

Seeing her long-lost brother
has driven her crazy.

Shambhu, if you love me,

then swear on me and say
that you committed the murder!

No, that is a lie.

It's a lie!

I request the court to stop
these people from wasting time.

The case is crystal clear.
The accused has been proven guilty.

Hence, the court should declare
him guilty and serve justice.

The verdict will be delivered after
due consultation with the jury.

In this incredible case of murder

the emotional outbursts
of a brother and sister

and their attempt to save each
other other held back the court.

God's justice is unimpeachable.

Our verdicts are based
on testimony and evidence.

In the light of these.

The court has concluded

that the accused Shambhunath
did kill Kishore.

But it has also been proved

that the accused didn't
do it in cold blood.

He did this

to protect his young niece
from Kishore.

Thus under Section 304
of the Indian Penal Code

the court sentences Shambhunath
to 5 years rigorous imprisonment.

What have you done?

Why did you do this?

Did we meet after years
of separation only for this day?

It would have been
better not to have met.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

Do you know today is Rakshabandhan?

Sisters tie a rakhi
on their brothers' wrists.

They pray for them.

How unfortunate am I,

who gets her brother handcuffed.

Shambhu.

What is this?
- It's right.

A useless brother like
me doesn't deserve your rakhi.

Shambhu!
- It is right for me.

You can talk outside the court.

Shambhu.
- Come on.

Shambhu!

Don't cry.

I was unfair to you.

I won't mind if they
sentence me to death.

Don't say that!

If I had adorned you with
gems of knowledge rather than gold.

Your life wouldn't
have been ruined.

No, Shambhunath.

My immaturity is to blame.

Forget the past, father.

It was destined to happen,
and it did.

I only pray to God

to not let anyone go through

what I've been through.

It's quite late. Let's go.

Laajo,

I want to say this before leaving.

If there is anything left of mine
back in our village,

sell it and build a school.

Yes, Shambhu.

I take your leave, Mr Thakur.

God bless you, my child.

Suraj.

"When your sister
isn't with you..."

"When she is away from you,
she will be sad."

"She will be sad"

"and will be eager to meet you."

"I don't know when
we might get separated."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

"Let me tie the 'rakhi' now."

'Lajwanti high school'

Kalu, is everything alright now?

Build a temple also.

The school is a temple.

Man can't recognise God
if he has no knowledge.

It's time for school to break.
Ring the bell.

Thandu!

Get warmed up.
- Right away.

Why are all of you still
in your seats?

Go home.
