All of us dream.
Be it males, females, or the people like us.
Be it males, females, or the people like us.
But my dream was always a subject of mockery…
because all I wanted was to become a bride.
Whenever I used to ask my mother,
Ma, when will I get married?
The neighbors used to remark,
No one weds people like you.
You guys are only meant to dance at weddings.
Here…
change your clothes.
change your clothes.
Your deal is fixed!
What are you waiting for?
Change.
Please don’t force me. Please let me go.
Spare me from this deal.
I will do any odd job
but don’t marry me off to a man, please.
Shut your mouth.
Mimicks, ‘Let me go, let me go’.
I am letting you go….
by marrying you off.
by marrying you off.
And once your husband realises the truth,
he too will let go off you.
Now., change the dress.
Stop shedding tears,
you need to look good in front of your buyers.
What if they discover
the truth?
If they discover the truth before the deal,
I will bury you and your brother alive! Am I clear?
Good. Now, smile for me?
That’s my girl!
Now keep smiling
and don’t utter a single word
no one will know,
that you are a defective item.
Will they?
Will you tell them?
This body of yours can fool anyone.
This body of yours can fool anyone.
Don’t spoil my mood any further.
With a body like yours in this dress,
who can guess that you are not a woman,
but a Hijra (Transgender / Intersex).
Lift your veil, baby!
Meet Sanwri.
Meet Sanwri.
Isn’t she more beautiful than her photos?
Show them your curves.
Leave it,
there is no need.
It's ok Harinder..
The boy will feast on her later
We are more interested in knowing,
whether she is trained in household chores or not.
Huh!
Don’t worry!
She is trained as a cow on a farm.
Fine! hand us her identity proofs to seal the deal
You should have told me
that you wanted a woman with identity proofs.
Such a waste of time.
Don’t worry, I have another option from Bilaspur.
She has full documents and you can even register your marriage,
but that woman will cost you extra twenty thousand.
Why do you want to pay extra?
You want to marry the girl or the identity proof?
Women are…
like doormats.
Documents do not alter their status.
He is demanding fifty-five thousand.
This is my life-savings.
Tomorrow if the girl runs away,
we should at least have an address to track her down.
How the hell will she run?
Don’t you know
how to keep a woman on a leash.
Leave it.
Stop screwing my time
with your useless inquiries.
If I would’ve known you people are wussies
I wouldn’t have said yes to the deal.
No worries!!
You are not alone
I have many customers lining up here.
-Move inside -Wait Harinder.
Please give us a moment.
What do you want man?
do you want a woman or not?
You seem more excited than me.
You forced me to sell my piece of land and…
Harinder!!
Let’s finalize the deal in fifty.
A little discount won’t hurt you, after all the girl’s complexion is dark
A little discount won’t hurt you, after all the girl’s complexion is dark
Are you happy now?
Done!
Now show me the money.
Don’t worry Bhanwar, you have struck gold.
Give him the money.
Can you call a priest?
It’s not honourable to take a girl home without a wedding.
He is right
After all, we are godfearing people.
I am neither a dotting daughter
Neither am I the black sheep of the family
My life is nothing but a curse
Given to me without any purpose
-My hands are dyed with henna -Hurry Up!
but my heart can’t feel the colours
My anklets are ringing
but my feet can’t move
The pain can only be experienced
and can’t be expressed
My eyes are now kohled with tears
The pain can only be experienced
and can’t be expressed
My eyes are now kohled with tears
The sun will burn your beautiful face.
Don’t go soft on her or else she will forget her place.
Hurry up!
Let’s reach the village in the daytime so that everyone can see …
that I successfully purchased a woman for my nephew.
that I successfully purchased a woman for my nephew.
My Turn..
I win again!
Hey Bhairo!
So, you finally got a bride for Bhanwar.
Come and see for yourself.
Great!
So many men are living without a woman in our village,
no one bothers to buy a bride from another state.
But you have done it anyway.
If I won’t look after my nephew’s needs who else will.
Look at this son of a bitch.
Ready to know the pleasure of having a woman in bed.
And…
What about you?
Won’t you have the pleasure of bossing a daughter-in-law?
Oh, I am a humble man with few needs.
A good meal,
A good meal,
a foot massage at night
and a grandson to play with, that’s all I ask for.
May God fulfil all your wishes.
Khaircharan, I don’t have any son.
Whatever I own, will belong to him after my death…
Will get drunk tonight.
Your wait is over Bhanwar.
Your destination has arrived
Ram Ram (a way of Indian greeting)
Bhairo kept the tradition of our village alive
Our village only begets bridegrooms, not brides
Why breed girls When you can buy them easily
If not here, you shop for them in the next village
-Or the next town, -Or the next country
(Rajasthani folk song playing.)
She’s got sharp features
The uncle nephew duo got a good deal.
What’s the matter Bhanwar?
Why aren’t you drinking man?
Because today he’s got something other than wine
… to wet himself!
They say, a woman who manages
to impress her man on the wedding night,
Wins over him forever
Fucking morons…
You tried to scare me off
by saying that girls are getting rarer.
I spent fucking fifty thousand rupees
to buy my nephew a decent bride.
Hey!
I spent fifty fucking thousand to buy my nephew a decent bride.
huh!
You got her for cheap.
Lakhan had spent a lakh for the same.
One lakh rupees!
That’s because no one can bargain better than me.
Lakhan, tell us your story!
Well, I did not spend money to buy a bride
but get a lover.
Love lets one stay high forever.
Stop it Lakhan…
Love can wait for Bhanwar
Tonight, he’ll unleash his lust!
Tau..
Tau..
What is it?
Should I go inside,
she’s all alone there.
she’s all alone there.
His patience is dying.
Go..
Go strike hard while the iron is hot!
Careful Bhanwar!
Hot iron can also lead to burns!
Do you not want to know about me first?
There is no need.
Oh, I get it
You’re thinking of the documents’ conversation?
Now that we are married,
Knowing that you are my wife
and I am your man is enough.
I have something to tell
Don’t waste time.
I have awaited my whole life for this moment.
Oh..
Oh God! She is not a woman
That’s why I asked for Identity proof.
Now don’t sit like a fool.
Let’s catch that motherfucker before it is too late.
Are you sure?
Go and look at her one more time?
I will throw up if I had to look at that thing one more time.
I know how a woman’s clit look like
You goddamned piece of shit
You tried to fool us.
You tried to fool us.
I will skin you alive.
Stop it, Tau. You’ll make things worse.
You wretched being,
you abomination of nature
I’ll kill you !!!
We won’t get our money back by killing her
We have to catch that fucking agent.
This bitch is partner of that fucking agent.
I’ll kill her for screwing us.
Wait.
All this hue and cry will draw neighbour’s attention.
I never intended to marry you.
That agent forced me into this,
Otherwise, he would have killed me.
Otherwise, he would have killed me.
What makes you think we won’t?
-I’ll kill you -Tau…
Don’t be crazy.
Focus on getting our money back.
Now I have no money, no land
and no woman.
FUCK
We were fine,
We were doing OK.
You wanted a daughter-in-law
to look after you, you wanted to show off.
Now flaunt this Hijra (Transgender / Intersex) in front of everyone.
Let's go..
Let’s catch that motherfucker.
We will shove this Chakka (Transgender / Intersex) in his face.
Grab the slut.
Wait..
He is too dangerous,
killing someone is not a big deal for him.
You people should go to the cops.
Only they can help you.
All I want a wife to set my life
All I want a wife to set my life
All I want a wife to set my life
All I want a wife to set my life
Bhanwar!
How are you up so early after your golden night?
-oh! Bad omen. -And you’ve left your wife all alone,
how rude!
Why you woke up so early today?
We’ve got an important job to do.
What could be more important than giving company to a new bride.
Let me help you with your other job.
You are a lucky chap.
Your uncle looks after you like a real father.
Why not, after all he is the only one, I have in my family.
How I wish to have a father like you.
-So, tell me where are you guys off to? -Police…
Why do you ask so many questions? Are you the police?
Now fuck off… and leave us alone.
I got it!
You must be in hurry to get the job done and return home.
You must be in hurry to get the job done and return home.
Congratulation, once again brother for getting a new bride.
We all know how difficult it is nowadays to find a woman in our villages.
Goodbye. Have a good day.
All I want a wife
to set my life
Hurry up. Are you waiting for the sun to bake us up?
Bhanwar, the same people who are congratulating us today
will laugh at us tomorrow.
They won’t laugh at you,
they will laugh at me,
they will laugh at me,
(mimicking) Bhanwar! how was the sex on wedding night?
They will laugh at me as well.
No. We’ll not turn into a laughing stock.
Let's go back.
Tau…
-What about the money? -We won’t get it back anyway.
Instead, we will be handcuffed.
Buying a bride is illegal, police won’t help us.
I didn’t realize that.
And everyone will know how we have been fooled, adding insult to injury.
So, what should we do now?
Did you tie her up before leaving?
-No.. -Good riddance,
The wretched whore must have been gone by now.
It is better to be called the husband of a runaway bride
It is better to be called the husband of a runaway bride
than the man who married a Hijra (Transgender / Intersex).
Good riddance, let’s go back.
Good riddance, let’s go back.
Few imbeciles will laugh at you.
You must ignore them.
Shed few tears for your runaway bride,
you will earn some sympathy.
Don’t worry I will watch your back.
Everything I have will be yours after my death.
My mother taught me
to not let anyone out of the house empty stomach.
Have you eaten anything?
Go, have some chapatis.
Go inside
Did you realise what has just happened?
What?
Look down at your plate,
look around…
A man needs a woman for just two things.
Firstly to satiate his lust and reproduce,
secondly to take care of the house.
I agree, that this wretched being can’t fulfil the first job properly,
but this eyesore can still do the household chores.
We can still get something in return for the price we paid.
So, what should I tell her?
So, what should I tell her?
Do you want me to write a speech for you?
What if the people discover that she is a Hijra (Transgender / Intersex)?
Until you saw her naked,
did you realize that she has no vagina.
Learn to keep some things under cover.
Have some jaggery with turmeric.
It will heal your bruised lips.
I kept the jaggery jar on the shelf
because of the ants.
You seem to know a lot about household chores.
I only know how to perform household chores.
My mother never allowed me to step outside the home.
I thought,
you will escape.
Where can I escape?
Boundaries of a home make me feel safe.
Then you can stay inside these boundaries.
You take care of this home,
we will take care of your secret.
Sanwri,
what’s the matter?
I haven’t seen you around.
Do they make you work a lot?
You should meet us here, at the well.
This is the only time we wives get to gossip and tickle around.
I’m running late didi, can I go?
It’s not like I am stopping you,
as if I don’t have any work to do.
Don’t be mad, didi.
I am an amateur.
It takes me longer to finish work.
But I’ll learn gradually,
you’ll teach me, right?
She has a way with words…
Yeah, that feels great! hmm
Tell me,
Tell me,
the other day what was Khaircharan’s wife enquiring you about?
She asked me…
why I don’t mingle with other women.
And what did you tell her?
Nothing..
I just folded my hands and gave some silly excuse.
Hmm.
You’ve become quite prudent!
Now tuck me in.
Is the oldie asleep?
Of course, the way you massage feet, anyone would fall asleep.
Of course, the way you massage feet, anyone would fall asleep.
If you want, I can do it for you too.
Let it be,
you can give me a massage when I grow old.
Do you think we can grow old together?
I am not certain about the future.
Listen,
can you please massage my hands?
I thought…
all those denying was because you don’t like my touch.
For the last five months, I am eating the food cooked by you.
Why would I not like your touch?
Your hands must be hurting from all the work while making mats?
Not really.
I enjoy making mats.
My mother taught me.
What happened to your mother?
I don’t know.
People in villages just die… No one bothers to find out the reason.
My mother too passed away like that,
leaving me and Gouru with our uncle.
My uncle couldn’t even stand my shadow.
So, he sold me.
I also left quietly,
hoping that they’ll at least keep my Gouru safe.
Who’s Gouru?
My younger brother!
Is he also..?
No,
I am the only one cursed in my family.
He’s absolutely fine…
Listen, how was it in your village?
Were you always caged there too?
Whenever I’d step out,
the other girls would shoo me away
as if I was contagious.
Only my mother held me caringly.
It’s better here actually
No one knows,
so no one runs away.
In fact, few of them want to be my friends.
But I keep them at bay.
I’m scared, if they come to know of my secret,
I will end up losing this home too.
Come to the fair with me?
Will you take me along?
Stop being so formal?
I know I’m a little older than you
but let’s just have one oldie in the house…
Our beloved Tau.
Will your Tau permit us? (Imitating Bhanwar’s way of speaking)
I’ll take care of it.
Listen,
you sound cool while copying my dialect.
Say it again?
Will your Tau let us go? (imitating the dialect perfectly)
Go, sleep..
-Ohh… -Bhanwar, are you okay?
-I feel like I’m dead. -Where does it hurt?
Feels like I have a broken shoulder, Tau!
Why are you holding your waist then?
Oh! The pain is killing me, I’m confused.
Why are you standing there like a fool? Go, get a hot bandage for him.
It’s okay. It’ll heal up..
It’ll heal up in a couple of days.
At your age, I used to carry four to eight of these bales easily!
I am not worried about pain, Tau.
I am more concerned about the sale of my mats
Farming is hardly bringing us any money.
I was counting on today’s earning.
It’s just a stupid flea market, it’ll happen again next month
It’s not just another flea market, Tau.
It’s a fair where foreigners come and pay handsomely for everything.
Oh! Bad luck, what will you do then?
Listen Tau,
you come along with me?
you come along with me?
You can carry the bales
and I will handle the customers.
Are you crazy?
You want me to slog at this age?
Listen, I cannot lift these heavy bales
but she can…
Make her do the donkey work
and you take care of the sales.
And what if someone gets to know that she is…?
Do I have to spoon-feed you forever?
Grow some senses,
don’t let her lift her veil.
No one will know.
You’re on point, Tau.
I know.
Why are you still here?
Did you not hear him?
Go, pick up the bales now!
-Before you run off, refill my hookah -Yes.
Fix my bed too. And finish all the chores. Yes.
Fix my bed too. And finish all the chores. Yes.
(Rajasthani folk song playing.)
Keep that red mat with the green one
and the pink and black together.
Red mat with the green one?
I’m amused. You’re very smart, Sanwri.
First, you transformed our home, and now…
My mats have never looked so pretty together..
You just wait and watch.
I used to draw the best rangoli in my entire village.
You see,
colours have a language of their own.
They lighten up, if put together aptly.
How would I know the language of colours?
My life was all grey till you arrived…
Pass me that red and black mat.
-That’s not for sale. -Why?
Because I say so.
Are you guys open?
Greetings, madam
You can use this for… the thing that all white people do…
What are you blabbering?
OUM………
Oh! you mean Yoga, Ok how much?
Four hundred
Four… Four hundred
Ok… Sweet girl! Give me this.
Take the name of Mother Divine and put the money in box.
Your hands are very auspicious, you are my lucky charm.
You think I can be your lucky charm?
Four hundred, four hundred!!!
Four hundred, four hundred!!!
-Four hundred, four hundred!!! -Four hundred, four hundred!!!
Four hundred, four hundred!!!
Four hundred, four hundred!!!
Four hundred, four hundred!!!
Who’d have thought that such a beautiful day awaited us?
Sanwri!!!
Yeah! And see, like all good things it has come to an end.
The best day of my life.
The day’s not over yet…
Snowflake!
Told you, the day’s not over yet
After ages, I met someone whom I can call my friend.
My parched heart is once again blooming…
The world seems sweet
and I feel alive!
I can’t express my happiness in words
Tears of joy are flooding my eyes.
(Rajasthani folk dance and music)
You are the best.
You too.
All my mats are sold today because of you.
I am not the sole reason, I didn’t even talk much.
But your smile spoke volumes.
Listen, what did you say to that madam…
about Yoga?
How do you know?
When I was travelling with Harinder from my hometown,
I saw a photograph of a white woman on a mat in that pose in a newspaper.
You are very smart.
You’re in for a surprise…
You’re in for a surprise…
You’ve picked up my dialect so well.
It feels like we’ve been together
for years and not just months…
I feel it too, you are my world now
Careful. Sanwri!
The world is a mean place to be in.
I don’t care, I trust my world…
I don’t care, I trust my world…
See. The rains are here for us.
I told you, the day’s not over yet.
Look who’s back.
I thought you permanently settled in the fair.
Tau..
It took us the entire day to sell all the mats.
What? You sold all of them!
How much did you earn?
Three thousand rupees, Tau.
Three thousand!
You are growing smarter with each passing day,
Oh my God, Bhanwar! you’re completely drenched.
Go, change before you fall sick.
And listen, keep this, fifty rupees. Go, have fun.
Wait, where are you off to princess?
Go and prepare my dinner, you can change your clothes afterward.
You go, my son. Change into something warm.
You haven’t slept yet?
I was waiting for you.
You were also drenched in the rains…
Why else do you think I ran towards the stove?
I’m almost dried up while cooking, see?
The mat you used to sleep on had worn off.
What’s wrong?
Why are you teary?
I’m just not used to anyone taking care of me
Well,
I have learned this trait from you.
Anyhow, look, what I’ve bought for you
For me?
I thought you gave all the money to Tau.
Not all of it.
I’ve safely kept the half amount for us.
Come on, now wear these earrings and show me.
Why don’t you help me?
How does my touch feel to you?
I want you to touch me here…
Here…
And here…
I fell for your beauty the day I laid my eyes at you…
But now, it feels more like love.
It’s embarrassing to admit,
but I desire you as my husband.
Tau,
Tau…
I’ve prepared some buttermilk for you.
Huh!
Great!
You’ve learned now how to please your elders.
It is delicious!
-Would you like some more? -Not really. My stomach’s full.
Give it to Bhanwar, when he returns.
It’ll go stale.
-Should I drink the rest of it? -Shut up!
You selfish being,
you’re always eager to fill your belly.
-Listen… -Yes?
Go to the farm and give it to Bhanwar. Ok?
And listen,
cover your face properly.
Listen,
Don’t you dare take a single sip on your way.
I’ll ask Bhanwar when he returns.
Come, sit with me
How did you sense that I was hiding behind the tree?
You’ve been with me for eight months now, I can sense your presence from far off.
Tell me this,
how did Tau let you come here?
What tricks did you use?
I am learning the tricks from you!
See, I’ve made something for our home.
'Ardhanareshwar’
How is it?
Just like you,
unique and priceless!
Do you know?
They say when lord Vishnu demanded to see his creator,
Shiva and Parvati manifested in this heavenly form of Ardhanareshwar.
Half man and half woman.
The lord almighty has bestowed his blessings upon me
in a similar way.
Oh, come on now!
I just stated the truth.
Okay, I’ll leave now.
Your tau will get mad if I run late.
So, what, learn the trick of stuffing cotton buds in your ears!
What a gossiper you are! Gopi…
Tau, I’m only telling the truth.
Lakhan’s wife eloped with someone.
You know nothing, you fool!
The in-laws made her slog every day,
used to beat her up too.
I’ve heard of it.
Nobody but Lakhan himself fled her off
-What? -and gave her all the jewellery too.
How would you know the things people do for love?
Who understands love better than me?
Tau, please help me find a bride like you helped Bhanwar
I can also sell a part of my land to buy someone nice…
I can also sell a part of my land to buy someone nice…
The same land where you poop every day.
Marriages are made in heaven. It’s all destiny.
Now we are talking!
Look at Bhairo Bhaiyya’s destiny,
he’s got the perfect daughter-in-law.
She’s as silent as a lamb.
We should all learn from Bhairo how to discipline a woman.
C’mon. We are always so careful while buying cattle.
It’s the same with women.
One should find a woman
who keeps both her mouth and brain shut.
She should serve the family, the way a cow serves his master.
Tau, cows give birth to calves.
When will you play with Bhanwar’s calves?
Asshole, you’re more eager to play with my grandkids than me.
Let's play.
I’ve sown millet seeds along with peanuts this time.
It’ll be great if I could bring some more money home.
Lakhan was mentioning tobacco farming is also very profitable.
Yes.
We have to make up for the fifty thousand we lost.
You talk as if she’s a commodity and not a person.
Of course, she is a commodity.
We purchased her.
Move your hands swiftly you lazy bum!
You love to eat but hate to work.
Go!
Fan him only.
He is feeling all the heat.
You’ve started taking her side a lot.
Now listen,
Go to the local medic
and ask him to give some medicine for your wife’s infertility.
and ask him to give some medicine for your wife’s infertility.
Are you insane! Tau..
Sanwri is…
Yeah, half man-half woman,
but nobody in the village knows that.
To keep this secret safe,
we will have to spread this rumour of her infertility.
This entire foul play is yours, Tau.
Don’t make me a part of it.
You shameless bastard!
You were a 35-year-old man who couldn’t find a woman for himself?
I helped you and now you’re playing the blame game.
So? So what? Whose land was sold for buying her?
And who is responsible for the dearth of women in our village?
And who is responsible for the dearth of women in our village?
Who kills them even before they’re born?
Bhanwar!
How dare you raise your voice?
That is the problem!
I’ve never raised my voice and now…
Bhanwar!
You wretched soul, you motherfucker…
Remember, if you want to live in my house, you better do as I say.
Why are you still awake?
My dear, I wasn’t cursing you.
But I curse myself…
for being a woman at heart with a body not feminine enough.
Please forgive me,
I am an abomination of nature I cannot give birth to your…
I am an abomination of nature I cannot give birth to your…
Stop it, please. It’s not your fault.
I am angry with myself.
I’ve never dared to take a stand against anyone, not even Tau.
This house is his, the farms are his,
whatever little was mine has been lost to…
Listen,
let us run from here?
Somewhere far away.
Where it’s just you and me.
As much as I want to,
-I am not as fearless and strong as you -Don’t say that,
You are the best!
I am not the person you take me for.
My mother had given birth to a baby girl,
exactly like her.
For two entire days, my mother begged Tau to let her feed her baby girl
but he didn’t let her.
I did nothing.
For two days, the baby kept crying of thirst and hunger
and eventually she died.
And I did nothing.
What about your father?
He was a simpleton.
Most of our farms have to be sold off because of his illness.
He would just keep lying on the cot, morning and night.
Just like you?
Do I lie on the cot morning till eve?
No, no.
You break the cot instead!
Oh, you vixen!
Now if you sting my heart like that,
I’ll have to return the favour…
Who’s stopping you from it? Go ahead!
The cunt hasn’t kept water for me today.
The cunt hasn’t kept water for me today.
Fuck.
There I was fooled into thinking that she couldn’t do anything
and here they’re having a blast.
and here they’re having a blast.
Let me help you.
Yeah…
You’ve started acting like a real woman
Just like the villagers I’ve also started to believe that she is your wife.
Bestow some care on me too someday, Sanwri?
She takes care of you more than me, Tau
She takes care of you more than me, Tau
Yeah, right.
That’s why there was no water at my bedside last night.
-I’m sorry, I forgot to… -Shut up!
‘Sorry’
I’ve noticed how you run away inside the hut even before sunset these days.
What’s the rush daily?
I’ll go to the medic today.
Might run a little late in returning.
Yes, please.
See if you can get medicine for this abomination’s infertility.
Don’t be sad.
Wear something nice in the evening.
I’ll bring a present for you.
I’ll bring a present for you.
Listen, come a little closer.
Massage my arms too.
Massage my arms.
Come on, put some pressure, do it nicely.
Your fingers are magical…
Show them to me.
Why the hesitation?
It’s not like you are my daughter-in-law for real.
Have you forgotten your reality?
What is that supposed to mean Tau?
You know very well, what I mean.
Bhanwar must be on his way.
Should I go inside?
Fine, Go.
Tau, do you want something?
I saw yesterday.
How you keep Bhanwar happy.
Why don’t you make me happy too?
After all I'm your Tau too..
What do you mean, Tau?
Stop calling me Tau.
Just because you’re wearing a skirt
doesn’t mean you’re my daughter in law.
Please let me go, Tau. Or I’ll start shouting
Go ahead, shout. Where will you go?
Where will you go?
You are mine. The lands are mine. This house is mine.
Try running, Motherfucker.
I’ll beat the shit out of you.
Whore! You can’t treat me like shit
Whore! You can’t treat me like shit
when you treat the other man of this house with candies.
What’s wrong, Sanwri?
Why is it so dark in the hut?
Did Tau say something to upset you again? Ignore him.
Hey Sanwri!
Sanwri!
See what I’ve bought for you.
Perfumed oil for your hair…
Sanwri.
What happened?
Sanwri?
I tried a lot to save myself, but
Tau…
I always knew that you were a selfish bastard
but I never imagined you will stoop so low.
What happen Bhanwar?
What the fuck are you talking about?
How dare you touch my wife?
Wife?
Marriages happen between a man and a woman.
Neither is she a woman…nor your wife.
I have done nothing wrong.
You think you have done nothing wrong.
I will show you how it feels to be wronged.
Enough. You son of a whore, How dare you to touch me?
-You will regret the consequences -Damn the consequences.
Apologise to Sanwri.
Apologise to Sanwri.
What the hell are you doing Bhanwar?
You asshole,
You want to kill me for an abomination of nature.
Don’t call her that, You are an abomination.
Stop it Bhanwar. He is like a father to you.
You will rot in hell.
In fact, this asshole will rot in hell.
-He raped my wife. -WIFE?
I raped your wife?
Oh, you liar, you stinking piece of shit…
This son of a bitch was making a mockery of the holy sanctity of marriage
and today when I caught him red-handed, he started beating me.
What kind of mockery?
Tell us Bhanwar,
What kind of mockery Bhairo is talking about?
Now he will be tight-lipped.
But I won’t stay mum.
I will sing the story of your sin loudly.
His wife is a Hijra (Transgender / Intersex)…
and he was having unnatural sex with him.
He was fooling me like he was fooling everyone.
I will kill you Tau.
I will kill you Tau.
Of course, you will kill me.
Now that I’ve busted your charade you will definitely kill me.
He is a shame to manhood.
He was making a mockery of the holy sanctity of marriage.
I sold my land to get him a wife and he was so blind with lust,
he never told me what was beneath the skirt.
He fooled me.
Tell everyone the truth.
Bhanwar is it true that your wife is…
a Kinnar (Transgender / Intersex)?
He won’t utter a word now.
Drag that disgusting bitch naked and see it for yourself.
-She is an abomination between her legs. -Tau….
-I will slit your throat. -Stop it Bhanwar.
Don’t think you will get away with this nonsense.
Mother divine will unleash her wrath on you.
You can’t just start living with a cursed being if you can’t find a woman.
You can’t just start living with a cursed being if you can’t find a woman.
Cool! give us some tips on how to fuck a woman with no vagina.
Shut up.
Let Bhanwar speak.
What is there left to say?
Sinners like Bhanwar can’t stay in this village.
Absolutely correct.
He did all this to satisfy his lust.
He kept the charade on and was living in a sin.
But I won’t let him get away with this.
I will go to Village elders and complain.
Call the village elders…
(Crowd) Call the village elders…
Look at Bhanwar’s jackpot.
A hot item with dick and pussy.
I have heard about men having sex with men
but our Bhanwar took the game to next level.
Let us reach a decision quickly.
I can’t stand these kinds of jibes anymore.
Silence.
Village elders are here to decide the matter.
Bhanwar..
tell us,
is it true
that you secretly kept a cursed being as a wife in your home?
What happened?
Why are you quiet as a mouse now? Last night you were roaring like a tiger.
Speak up Bhanwar,
Speak up Bhanwar,
if you are going to stay silent,
then we will ask the womenfolk to go and check it.
It is better if we hear it from you.
-Go ahead, check her genitals. -Wait,
She is not a woman.
That’s just the half-truth, what about the other half…
She is a Kinnar (Transgender / Intersex)
But Tau knew the whole thing and he laid his hands on my wife.
Wife…
I mean,
he raped her
and that is why I raised my hand to hit him.
Aren’t you afraid of God almighty?
I haven’t even seen her face properly.
He was the one spending nights with this unnatural piece of shit.
He was the one spending nights with this unnatural piece of shit.
Has anyone seen Bhairo
behaving indecently with her?
No.
Swear to God,
I have seen Bhairo treating her like a daughter-in-law,
though I have witnessed Bhanwar romancing this ‘half man-half woman’
in farms and fair.
Mother divine saved my honour today,
otherwise, the whole village would have thought that
I am a sinner involved in unnatural sex.
Sarpanch Ji, I kept this Hijra (Transgender / Intersex) in my home
only because I thought she is a woman.
If you don’t believe me, see for yourself.
If you don’t believe me, see for yourself.
She can fool anyone with her innocent face and body.
Let them see.
Pleasing me would have been so easy.
But you chose pain instead.
Please stop it Tau.
Don’t humiliate us further.
Now that you’ve decided to spend your life with this wretched being…
Now that you’ve decided to spend your life with this wretched being…
get into the habit of living in shame.
I want to say something.
Anyone can fall in love with anyone,
so what is wrong if she is a Hijra (Transgender / Intersex) .
Have you lost your senses Lakhan?
Only sex between a man and a woman is natural.
Anything else is a disgrace.
He is right.
He is right.
Having a physical relationship with a Hijra (Transgender / Intersex),
and keeping everyone in dark is a huge mistake Bhanwar.
Sarpanch Ji,
I agree that
I have kept everyone in dark
but it was Tau who advised me to do the same.
He told me to keep her identity a secret
and use her for household chores
and I agreed.
He is lying.
He is trying to frame me now.
I smell a rat when his so-called wife
didn’t get pregnant after eight months of marriage.
When I enquired, he told me that he is getting some medicines to treat her.
Every time, he came up with a new excuse.
Bhairo is telling the truth.
Bhanwar came to me to get some herbs for treating female infertility.
Now you believe me Sarpanch Ji.
Poor Bhanwar.
He forgot he married a Hijra (Transgender / Intersex).
Bhanwar, the medic’s testimony,
your efforts to hide the truth,
and beating your Tau in front of everyone,
all these things go against you.
Look at this man…
fooling around with a half man - half woman.
Shut your mouth, you motherfucker, I don’t love a half man - half woman
I don't…
He is telling the truth.
He doesn’t love me.
On our wedding night when he came to know about my real identity,
he told me to leave.
But I begged him to let me stay.
I only advised him to go to the medic and ask for herbs.
He agreed because he is a kind person.
Actually, he is the best.
So, you are the real culprit.
Yes.
We have reached a decision.
To dishonour the holy sanctity of the marriage
This Kinnar (Transgender / Intersex) can’t live in this village anymore,
Bhanwar…
For supporting her charade
and beating your tau,
You need to apologise to him
in front of everyone and pay fine…
or else the entire village will shun you.
What are you waiting for?
This may be your only chance to redeem your reputation.
Apologise and you can come home.
Blood is thicker than water.
I am neither a dotting daughter
Neither I am the black sheep of the family
My life is nothing but a curse
Given to me without any purpose
I am neither a dotting daughter
Neither I am the black sheep of the family
My life is nothing but a curse
Given to me without any purpose
The moon and stars lost their charm to me
Shadows shower fire on me
Shadows shower fire on me
My ornaments mock at me
The pain can only be experienced
and can’t be expressed
My eyes are now kohled with tears
Do you think we can grow old together?
But you said you don’t love a Hijra (Transgender / Intersex).
Yes,
I don’t love a Hijra (Transgender / Intersex).
I love the soul
who is a little bit crazy,
and little bit innocent.
You are the best.
You too!
Hey! aren’t you the fake woman, the whole village is talking about.
Hey! where are you going,
sit with me and you can earn some penny.
Seat Reserved for Senior Citizen
Seat Reserved for Man
Seat Reserved for Woman
Seat Reserved for Specially-Abled
Go and sit in your place.
Hey! Who are you?
Go and sit in your place.
I am a Hijra.
and I have
no place.
