Stop the car!
- What's wrong? - Dirt in the carburetor, uncle.
- You... - l'll fix it in a moment.
l know your timing. l'm glad it broke down here.
You repair it. l'll start walking.
Saved...

Uncle!
Who is it? Your Honour!
You've come to my house!
How are you Gurudas?
- By your blessings, honour.. - Don't say that. l'm retired.
ls that so? When? l'll still call you judge!
God visiting an ant! Savitri, my girl! See who is here.
Where the hell is Dwarka? Take the judge's bags!
why are you worried? Mahesh will take it.
- Take care of the bags. - All right uncle.
- Who is he? - The son of my brother-in-law.
He's my accountant, chef, all rolled in one.
What are you looking at? Touch uncle's feet.
Live long. You've grown so big!
- l saw you this high! Doll like. - Girls grow very fast.
Now we'll have to find her a live doll.
Come in.
What are you staring at? Touch the feet.
Not hers, you fool!
- Then whose? - His.
That's enough, son. Get up.
Okay, get the bags.
- What's the matter? - Nothing, we've got guests.
ln our family, guest signifies son-in-law.
what are you looking at?
l'm looking at the creation of God.
Come and sit here.
You were talking of some land.
l came here in regard to my land in Manori.
- Thought l'd also meet you. - Very good idea.
- lt's been years since we met. - 5 or 6 years.
- l'm going out. - Why?
- Just..to see the goddess. - l see. Come back soon.
No thank you. l've come here to study not to eat.
May l help you?
- My geographia... - l'll be glad if you did your work.
My work...?
ls it very sweet?
Don't you want to eat something crisp after the sweet?
- Yes. - Here's the crisp part!
Honestly lady, it's not my fault.
l'm guilty of eating not throwing.
Since we've turned into humans, the monkeys are unemployed.
Please forgive me.
What else can l do?
Don't tell anybody at home.
Nowadays even if it's the girl's fault, the boy is thrashed!
Thank you, my good sir!
ln a jiffy you did what l could not have been done in a month!
This monkey has become good friends with Mahesh.
lt's a male monkey.
Shanta, come in. Uncle, this is my friend.
- Good day. - Live long, my child.
You don't know me but l know you very well.
- You know me? - Surprised?
You're the girl who teaches kids. Sings patriotic songs.
- lsn't it? - Yes, Your Honour.
This girl has won my heart.
ln a short while l saw qualities in her which you others lack.
You are embarrassing me!
See you.
She's a nice girl.
She's an angel!
lf given the chance to study, she'll sparkle like a star!
- Her parents..? - ...live next door.
Her father is an ordinary clerk.
Can't afford to educate her. Mother is always sick.
She's got little siblings. She manages the house herself.
Lucky is the man to whose house Shanta will be married.
lf that's what you think...
why don't you fix her match with your nephew?
Marry Shanta to your son!
That would be wonderful! l could never think of it!
Nor her parents who are worried sick about her!
l'd suggest you also get your daughter married off.
l would but l must find a good boy.
That's my complain. People go far to find matches.
Wander aimlessly but not see the boy under their nose!
- That's my tragedy. - l got the point.
You've understood? Then explain to him to. - Okay.
Listen, l'd like to meet Shanta's father.
l don't know how to thank you.
The diamond was lying in the dirt, you studded it in a crown.
That's because she is a gem.
Every father should be blessed with such daughters.
- lsn't it? - He's absolutely right.
l'll talk to my wife. Give me a picture of Shanta's.
l have one. l'll get it.
Uncle...did you talk about Savitri?
No.
Don't hang yourself. We have talked.
Remember l'd said, we'll go together wherever we go?
And as a true friend, my duty is to share your joys and sorrows
Good heavens!
Sister! lt's come!
- What is it? - Letter from brother-in-law!
- When did it come? - Yesterday..no today.
Take this bell off! My heart beats wildly whenever it rings!
The news is that he has chosen a bride for Yeshwant.
- What? - Yes. For Mahesh too!
We'll have two brides at home!
- Good day brother-in-law. - Good day father.
l've heard you've chosen a bride for Yeshwant.
Who told you? You...! Don't you have the patience..
- l just wrote to father.. - Whoever told me..! ls it true?
Let me sit. Then l'll tell you.
No! Why did you do this without asking me?
l mean nothing! All your life you've pushed your way through!
But l won't let you have your way for my son's wedding!
l've been a judge. l hear the accused, defendant then decide.
This is not your court! Your decision won't work here!
l'm the lower court. Always bow to the high court.
You can over rule my decision but hear this carefully.
Even Gurudas approves of the girl.
On the condition, the marriage is on only if the boy's mom approves
Now we await your decision.
Here's the picture...
- First look at this. - Don't interrupt.
Show it to me.
What do you think?
Her eyes are asking you to make her your daughter-in-law.
- l'll serve you well. - Who is she?
She lives next door to Gurudas in Nasik.
l like her a lot. She's good natured, polite...
What's her name?
- Do you approve? - Only if my son does!
- He will approve. Ask him. - How do l ask him?
- You've sent him so far! - The same old story!
l cried, why must you send him to the army! We lack nothing!
- His life will be at risk! - l've sent my only son...
...to serve his motherland. Why don't you think of that?
What's wrong? What happened?
My mother is unwell.
She is serious. l must go
Mother! Mother!
- How did you come? - Father, where is mother?
Mother is there.. l am here.
- My son! You've come! - Mother...!
- You look all right. - l am all right!
Why did you send the telegram?
Yes, l heard! Go and change. l want to talk to you.
- My darling! - Sent a false alarm to get your son.
- Now you talk to him. - You chose the bride. You talk.
Father and son share a serious relation. You talk to him.
l'll do that. He can't refuse me.
- That's why l brought sweets. - First you'll eat then talk!
No, it's for good luck.
Where are you? Where is your mouth?
l want to feed you sweets. l want to get you married!
- What marriage? - Like marriages are.
- To whom? - A girl.
- l won't get married! - You will have to.
Your Pop...! l've taken the decision!
- Who are you to decide? - Who am l...?
Your mother's brother and father's brother-in-law.
- And your uncle! - So what? Nonsense!
- Against my wishes... - You're a captain but not here!
l'm going back to camp!
Everyone has to marry someday.
Have anyone's parents escaped?
There are many advantages to getting married.
- The oven is lit, food cooked.. - Milk boiled.
For God's sake, go away! Don't chew my brains!
How times have changed! Forgot the days, when you'd sit here?
And l'd have to wash clothes! Today you want to insult me!
Not want to, l did.
- Done? - Yes!
He insulted me!
Mahesh! What are you doing here?
- Crying over my fate! - ln the bathroom! Come here.
Sit comfortably and cry.
- But why do you cry? - Nothing left to do but cry.
- l lost a beautiful opportunity. - Opportunity?
- What opportunity? - Of marriage.
- Marriage!! - Rascal! lf you'd marry, so could l.
- To the same girl? - Yes....no!
Different girls. Have a look.
Your sister-in-law.
This one is mine. And look at this. She is yours.
lsn't she exquisite? Priceless!
Beautiful! Who is she?
- Let me see. - l won't show you!
- l just want to see! - No!
- On one condition. - What?
Say you agree to getting married. Say it!
- Yes. - That's the spirit!
- Give me the picture. That's yours! - Uncle!
Daughter-in-law!
Take this upstairs.
Take it.
Sister! The astrologer is here. Please be seated.
Open your book.
l've been waiting for ages.
You're like a soft sweet that doesn't have to be chewed.
- Who is it!! - lt's me. - Father!
l'm fast asleep. l can't open the door.
l say, open the door!
Come what may, even if the police comes, l won't!
- Come with me. - Let go! What are you doing?
What are you doing? He will come inside!
Daughter-in-law!
Why are you calling her? They are educated.
Let them get to know each other.
The astrologer said, times are very bad.
- What? - Saturn is in the house of Mars.
The girl and boy must not meet for 3 days.
Daughter-in-law, you sleep in my room.
Daughter-in-law, sleep in that room.
- Where are you going? - There. - You sleep here. - Why?
According to the astrologer, this is a bad period.
Saturn is in the house of Mars so you mustn't meet for 3 days.
You sleep here.
- Father, you...! - Yes, it's me! Go to sleep.
- Which father is this? - Come on!
Does it behove elders to do this?
Whether it behoves them or not, we have to respect their wishes.
You're 2 days elder to me and talk like a grandma!
- How is my brother-in-law? - Go on!
Tell me! No harm in that.
Don't ask me. l only saw his feet.
Ask me. l even saw his face!
One thing is for sure, love is a lovely feeling!
Let go! What are you doing?
Silly girl! l meant go to the market and buy lots of flowers.
- What are they for? - Don't you know?
Do as l say! Don't ask questions!
l've got it!
Live long, son.
This stupid bell cares not for day or night!
- What is it? - Urgent telegram for Yeshwant.
For Yeshwant... What does it say?
Army Headquarters have called him immediately.
lmmediately..?
This bell always brings bad news.
- l told you to remove it. - We'll tell him in the morning.
l won't tell him in the morning, nor tomorrow nor the day after!
l've heard everything. Give me the telegram.
Father, l'll leave right away.
There's a train in half an hour.
- Son...son... - Duty is duty.
To hell with this army! Doesn't care about mothers or newly weds!
Mother! Don't say that.
The army protects the love of mothers and husbands of brides!
ls that any life? That is why l didn't join the military.
What's the maximum that would happen? l'd become a captain!
Or a major or a general.
Now l'm Shah Jehan and you are my Mumtaz!
Let go. l have a headache.
That's even better? Shall l press your head? - No!
lt would have been better to have joined the military.
Forgive me.
Duty comes first for a soldier.
And you know...
Tears in your eyes..
You act as if...!
- You are calm. - No!
Only my name means calm. But l'm full of turmoil!
Don't worry. l'll return very soon.
Take care of my parents when l am gone.
They are now your parents.
ln a way, at this age, old people are like kids.
May l take leave?
Live long.
Mother, l am leaving. Won't you bless me?
Mother, l will return very soon.
Listen...do you hear?
- Yes. - What?
You're always reading the paper! As if you're married to it!
Are you a woman or a degree? Snatching my paper...
You'd know my woe if you were me
Right. ln our next birth, l'll be the woman, you the man.
- l'll take avenge then! - ls that so?
And if you get married to another woman?
l'll marry you only!
God is very just!
l too would admit your son to the army against your wishes!
Talk like a man. You'll be a man in your next birth.
The paper again!
What do you want to say?
Karva Chauth is round the corner.
You know how important that day is for married women.
Call my son back.
Feel sorry for the bride if not me.
She hasn't even seen him properly.
- l'll write a letter today. - No, right now!
You'll hold my rival again! Come on, hurry.
Your father has written a representation.
l give you 15 days leave.
And thank you on behalf of the command that you joined duty...
...without caring for your bride.
- Thank you Sir. - Good luck to you, my boy.
''Today is Karva Chauth ask for the boon of joy''
''With thoughts of the prince of your dreams..''
''May the vermilion in your hair never fade''
''May your forehead gleam till the moon exists''
''May your husband always love you''
''You get years of joy if you ask for it with true heart''
''May you always be loved by your husband's family''
''Every woman gets her heart's desire today''
- Hey, the moon is up! - Come on!
l saw the moon!
No! No, this can't be true!
- What happened? What's wrong? - My son, Yeshwant...!
- What happened to him? - Yeshwant! My son!
God! You can be unfair to me but not to her!
- What? - Yeshwant is no more! No!
No! No!
Uncle, don't lose courage.
lf you break down, what will aunt do?
What will happen to poor Shanta?
Where is she?
No!
l can't bear to see this!
Have faith. Who can fight God's will?
lt's not God's will. Sometimes a person brings bad luck.
l was thinking the same. Losing a young son when the bride enters
What could be worse? The bride has not shed one tear!
How long will this go on?
Eat something, uncle.
You can't live without eating.
Can l live if l eat?
Eat Kaushalya. We have to live.
''Wiping the colour, you filled my hair with the ash of the pyre''
''ls this justice?''
''Oh merciless God''
''Wiping the colour, you filled my hair with the ash of the pyre''
''ls this just?''
''Oh merciless God''
''You widowed a woman before her veil was lifted''
''Took away the ornament adorning her forehead..''
'' Break the bangles on her wrists''
''ln the blink of an eye, you destroyed her world''
''The lamp was lit but it didn't spread illumination''
''The bed was decorated but the flowers didn't bloom''
''The kohl adorning my eyes simply ran down my face''
''Creator of my destiny, you cast a slur on my fate''
Go, my good sir. You're the God of bachelors.
Not of mating.
Why are you scratching me? Go away!
Son of a monkey! Father..!
This is destiny, son.
l am sad about that.
But l am more sorry that she doesn't even talk to me!
Her friendship to Shanta...
Shanta has not become a widow.
l have become a widower!
- Father! - Don't cry, my son.
You have always thought only about yourself.
You must think of others too.
You must erase the sorrows of others.
Put your heart and soul into helping others.
Heart and soul helping others.
Heart and soul..?
l've understood.
- Why are you here? - Father said..
l must put my heart and soul in to helping others.
- But you don't give me a chance. - Thank you.
Please leave. l don't need your help.
You used to be so nice before marriage. You'd even love me.
What's wrong with you these days?
Why don't you understand? What's happening in the house!
Nobody eats or drinks.
And you're making jokes!
lt's a tragedy!
- Will you leave? - l'm going.
- Go away! - l'm going but can't lift my feet.
Look after my parents when l am not here. Now they're yours
At this age, old people become like children.
You will take care of them, isn't it?
Father, come for dinner.
Yes, to survive.
l'm coming.
Come.
Sometimes some people bring bad luck.
l was thinking that you lost your son when the bride came.
- What happened? - l won't let you eat what she cooks!
- Since she came home... - What are you doing?
We're already suffering..
Don't you dare tell her anything!
Our sorrow is nothing compared to hers yet she has cooked for us!
Eat! And if you don't may l hope to die!
No!
Don't you have a single tear in your eyes for my son?
What's the matter? Why are you taking the bed out?
She is in permanent mourning. l feel as if l am dead!
Don't ever make this mistake again.
When a man takes his bed out, initially the woman cries a lot.
- Then what happens? - She gets used to it.
The man's bed remains out. She never asks him to bring it in.
Then the man cries!
lf she doesn't care about me, l too won't care about her!
You're slightly mad, like your father!
The son of a fish can't be a prawn.
She's from a good family. You must mould yourself to her.
l won't! After all l'm a man!
- Not a donkey! - Son of a donkey!
Father!
- Go. - Going.
- Amuse her. - Yes. - Go!
''My love, don't tease me''
''Don't torment me''

Your Honour, l'm taking my daughter away.
- As you wish. - What's left for her in this house?
Live long. May your husband live forever...
No! No!
Where's your luggage?
Luggage? This is it.
l have come to take you back permanently!
What's left for you in this house?
Don't say that, father. This is my house, not yours.
The marital house is because of the husband.
- When he is no more.. - His elders are.
l won't leave them.
You have other children.
They have nobody but me.
Father, you may leave. l won't accompany you.
Tell mother, her daughter is no more.
She is with this mother now.
Okay, dear.
As you wish.
Your honour...
The Headquarters asked me to deliver Yeshwant's bags.
l can do nothing but offer my condolences.
There was a time when she could not shed a tear.
And now she cries day and night!
l don't understand where you're lost!
You don't know what's happening in the house!
The bride has not been eating or drinking!
God knows what will happen to her!
''The world is filled with lies, atrocities and loot''
''Don't bow to atrocities''
''Fight every falsehood''
''Change the colour of this universe''
''Wipe out discrimination''
l can't praise Shanta enough.
She's not a girl, she's an angel.
With proper education, she can shine like a star!
To our house in Poona. That will be best.
No, we won't leave this place.
How can we leave this house?
My son resides in every thing in this house.
That is why l won't keep the bride here.
l can't bear to see her die!
- l'll educate her. - What?
She's just a kid and her whole life lies ahead!
What will happen to her if we die?
l'll admit her to college so she can stand on her own feet!
You'll send your daughter-in-law to college!
You'll dishonour yourself!
You're growing senile!
What will people say?
l don't care about others. l'll do what l think is right.
Get everything ready.
Mahesh, Savitri and the bride will go to Poona tomorrow.
- But... - Do as l say!
Daughter-in-law!
Come along sir.
l'll study in my college and you study in your school.
- Where are you taking him? - With me.
Don't. Let one remain with me.
- How will l live? - Take him.
'You are with everyone but you seem different from all'
What's this? Get up. We've reached the station.
- Who? - Station!
He seems like a poet.
You are with everyone but you seem different from all.
Uncle came before us ad decorated the house!
They consider me the servant!
- What are you doing? - Going to wash the lentils.
Let go. l'm already late.
- Has Shanta gone to college? - Of course. - Even better!
- Take a break from college. - What? Break?
Cook the meal properly. l am going to college!
Go!
l'll cook and eat too!
These days l'm a servant and..
Hey! Why are you cursing your fate?
Servants are better than us.
We have to carry this burden all day.
- Will you buy some vegetables? - Okay, come in.
- l won't have to go to market.. - why must you go when l'm here?
l'll come and give you the vegetables myself.
Help me put down the basket.
- How nice... - What?
The people here can't lift my basket with 2 hands.
You lifted it with one hand.
Sure. l eat well.
Good heavens! That's what l want to know.
All right. How do you sell this?
l won't speak, my vegetable will.
lt's fresh like you...
What price is the lady finger?
Don't worry about the price. You take as much as you want.
l only need 200 grams but first fix the price.
l have to take money from you.
Why? How am l related to you?
- Go on! - Don't touch me! Take this and go!
- What are you looking at? - You're better when you're angry
Swear by God. Don't get angry. Pay me whatever you wish.
- l'll give you 20 paise. - Okay, that will do.
Take this. God!
The first earning today.
- You didn't weigh it! - The measure is my hand.
lt might be 410 grams instead of 200. Want me to weigh it?
No. Give it and go fast!
Give me some more.
- Enough? - Yes.
Lift the basket.
People who work on the land have generous hearts.
You must not bargain with me or you'll be the loser.
Secretary, why is there a crowd here?
Bees are attracted to honey, students surround the Secretary.
- What does that mean? - Don't you understand?
The college has just re-opened
and we're putting up a cultural show
So that the old and new students can be introduced.
Did you hear? He will introduce us!
l'll expel all of you!
Friends, l wish to introduce my old friend Shekhar to you.
He is a student of this college as well as a poet.
Friends..
Some days ago, an incident took place that shook me to the soul.
l've written this song based on that experience.
''You're in a crowd''
'' But you seem aloof from all''
''Though in a crowd, you seem aloof from it''
''You seem annoyed with the world and yourself''
''Though in a crowd, you seem aloof from it''
''You seem annoyed with the world and yourself''
''For none does she lower or lift her eyelids''
''For nobody does her breath or pulse quicken''
''For none does she lower or lift her eyelids''
''For nobody does her breath or pulse quicken''
''She is like the wind that stops at no door''
''She hides her tresses under her veil if they cover her face''
'' Biting her lips when they tremor''
''She hides her tresses under her veil if they cover her face''
'' Biting her lips when they tremor''
''You're the cloud that never bursts and showers''
''Neither fully awake nor asleep''
''Lost in her own thoughts''
''Neither fully awake nor asleep''
''Lost in her own thoughts''
''Like the prayer of a forlorn devotee''
- What is it? - Are you a girl or a scorpion?
- Always ready to sting! - Because you never talk of work!
- ls cooking my only job? - Yes!
l don't want your work! l'm the owner of this house!
l can't do this womanly job!
Ask me to do what men do!
Sir...
What are you doing here?
l've come to sell vegetables.
You're sitting like the master on these soft cushions.
- What do you mean? - Are these cushions made for you?
What if the mistress sees you?
Do you also think l'm a servant?
l'm the master of this house.
Has the frog caught a cold?
Do the job you're fit for! Cooking!
lt's not good for servants to fly high!
Will you buy vegetables?
l've often told you to come in the morning.
lf the mistress sees you, she'll turn me bald!
Admit to your position?
Yes but now go.
- Should l go? - Yes.
l swear by God, l like you very much.
l'll come back tomorrow.
Sorry.
l want Geetanjali.
l'm sorry Geetanjali has been issued.
- Here is your Geetanjali. - You...but...
- Please take it. - Take what you want.
Thank you.
lt's all right.
- Where are you? - What's the matter?
We're going on that picnic. We have to chart out the program.
Come fast.
Hey! You're not yet dressed!
- Not even had a bath! - What's the use?
Don't make small talk. lt's getting late for college.
What college?
Now l know why you suddenly find the college so attractive!
..that you want to go there even on a holiday.
- Holiday? - Yes, sister!
Today is Sunday one day after Saturday and a day before Monday!
And he must be at home for whom you...
Look, don't talk like this!
l don't like it.
Why do you feel offended?
The goddess of knowledge makes one give true predictions.
When something has to come true, God resides in someone's heart.
Let's go to the temple and ask God Himself.
Good God! At this age!
What happened?
''The evening is colorful the weather unforgettable''
''My love searches for you''
''The evening is colorful''
''Who calls out to me?''
''Who draws me close to him?''
''Who calls out to me?''
''Your voice joins mine lt's not my voice alone''
''My heart's desire, this is no secret''

Uncle...you came without...
..intimating you? Live long.
Live long dear.
- Where is Mahesh? - He has gone out.
Did l send him here to stay out?
Live long, dear.
Listen, l don't like her behaviour at all.
- What's the matter? - She's wearing coloured sarees!
l've sent her here so that the shroud leaves her person.
- And she gets the colour of life. - God! What are you saying!
- She's a widow! - That's not her fault!
Curse that God who...!
Turmeric for 1 anna.
Ginger...2 paise.
7 paise for green spices.
Coconut for 25 paise. 2 annas for...
- You... - Yes sir.
- Why have you come at night? - The vegetables came at night.
Absolutely fresh. Don't buy but at least have a look.
Take it and go away!
l like you even more when you're furious.
- Swear by God. - God! The mistress will be coming.
Don't act pricey. l'm already floored.
Then why do you glare at me. Talk to me with love.
- Oh God!! - Become mine. l'll press your legs.
Hey, what price are the tomatoes?
Buying vegetables at night?
Hey! Why do you come at night to sell vegetables?
l've come to meet my man, not sell vegetables.
l told you your man doesn't work here.
- Don't tell lies! - Don't touch me.
Don't like radish when faced with the carrot!
But the radish is hotter!
Don't talk too much. Get on your way.
Turning the table on me!
Am l in your way or are you cutting in on me?
Find somebody suitable for yourself.
- l'll come tomorrow. - No!
Why do you encourage her?
l swear l didn't touch her!
Watch out if you talk to her again!
Don't you like me any more?
You look much nicer up close.
She's gone again!
She thinks of Shanta.
Have you forgotten about the picnic?
And you had promised them.
Yes l did but l won't go.
What? They must be waiting for us. Get up.
- No... - Go, dear.
You must go. You must take part in all the college activities.
- No, father. - But why?
Everybody laughs and plays and l...
ls that why you don't want to go?
This means if God has taken your husband away..
...has he taken away your laughter too?
l don't care. You must go and laugh with everyone!
ls this why l sent you here, to bring the tears here too?
lf Yeshwant was your husband, he was also my son.
l too want to laugh but first you too must laugh.
l will go, father.
Silence!!
Rotten management! We're famished and your food hasn't come!
l'm not running a hotel that you ask for it and l present it.
l'll organise it. Meanwhile you go and listen to songs.
- Who will sing? - Shekhar, who else?
Where is he?
There he is!
- Sing a song. - First sit down.

lt's raining. Run!
Daughter-in-law, how was the picnic?
We had great fun.
What is this?
lt's Shekhar's coat.
lt started raining l forgot to return it.
Good Lord! l can't bear this!
What is wrong if someone gave her a coat to ward off the rain
Anything can happen but you don't care!
l don't mind the coat but her going to
- Everyday if she... - Be quiet!
l trust her completely.
l don't want to be the cause of fights at home.
- What do you mean? - l won't go to college.
Won't go to college!
Drop out! You want to ruin your own life!
This illiterate foolish woman must've said something!
No father, it's my decision not hers.
Yours..?
Very well, don't go.
l know a woman is her own biggest enemy.
Go away but l understand all!
Everything l thought for you, planned for you was wrong!
lf that be the case, l'll make another mistake!
l'll atone for it even if l lose my life!
Father, you haven't eaten since morning.
l said it and l repeat l won't eat. No way.
- Why stop eating? - l'm not hungry nor will l be.
What you consider a sin is the greatest good deed.
lf you think l was wrong, let me atone. Let me die!
He's a judge. ls this atonement?
- He still hasn't eaten. - Did you eat?
Neither you, me nor he has eaten since morning!
He won't eat food but bares his teeth at me.
He won't listen to me. You go, he won't refuse you.
- Father eat some food. - l won't eat!
- l'm responsible for this - Yes, you are!
But she's the root cause!
You came in between now but we are fighting for many births
l will eat at her hands but in my next birth!
Very well, l'll go to college from tomorrow.
Eat something now.
Good morning..
- Excuse me - What is it?
- l don't see Shekhar.. - Don't you know he's unwell?
Hi Rita, what are you doing?
- Where is Shekhar? - lnside.
Don't get up. Keep lying.
You gave me your coat and fell sick yourself.
That's not your fault.
Sometimes man wants to fall sick
- What do you mean? - Somebody should come to ask..
ls nobody home but a servant?
l have a mother but she's gone to the village.
- when will she return? - Who knows?
Such high fever.. You shouldn't be alone.
Can't help it.
No harm in getting married for a fever.
But to getting feverish to get married...
You're joking even in pain.
Somebody took away my pain.
lt's very late. l must leave.
- l'll come again. - Do you promise?
Do l have to shake hands?
lsn't the spoken word enough?
Listen..only medication doesn't cure a man.
lt's so late. Daughter-in-law still hasn't returned home.
lt's not right for her to stay out this late.
l wanted to say that you give her too much liberty.
Giving liberty doesn't mean...
Where had you gone?
- l was with Shekhar. - who is he?
The one who gave me his coat in the rain.
He got wet and fell sick.
You keep quiet! Let him fall sick or die! - Uncle!
Has nobody died in this house..
Haven't you seen the state of this family after death?
...that you want to kill him too!
See the result of sending her to college!
She's mingling with strange men!
What do l do? Where do l go?
Shekhar talks like you.
Like you, he has a black mole on his hand!
That is how l got misguided. Save me!
Show me the way.
Wonderful!
Now l know why you would raise such a storm!
Hey! What are you saying?
Ask him! He has no shame!
Good grief! How dare a servant romance his mistress!
What servant? This is my wife.
Good heavens! What will happen!
You rich who plunder the poor! May God deal with you!
Go home girl.
Your role ends here.
Sister...!
All of us are going to see Shekhar.
He is very unwell. Come along with us.
How is he?
He hasn't slept all night.
He was tossing all night.
Who is Shanta?
She's a girl from our college.
He kept mumbling her name all night.
Madam, it's time for the medication.
Wait, he's sleeping.
- We'll take leave. - Good day.
Why have you hardened your heart?
Shekhar is unwell. He mutters your name in his sleep.
His mother says her son will live only if Shanta comes.
ln spite of this, won't you go?
This is my mother.
Live long. Take a seat.
l'll take a minute
You have been very unfair to me.
God knows in which dark streets..
...my soul wanders with the lamp of my being alight.
- lt kept looking for you. - Don't say that.
There was a problem. Hence l couldn't come.
l understand. A verbal promise is not enough.
That day if you had given your hand in mine..
Can't it be possible..?
What are you saying? Don't say such words.
l have just one prayer to God.
You live and l die.
This won't be possible till l die!
You don't know who and what l am!
Had you known, you wouldn't say such things.
- What would l know? - This...that...l..
l am a widow.
l know that.
Don't be scared. When l first saw you in the train..
l did have a doubt.
But the incidence in the temple confirmed it.
You can't be blamed for being a widow.
The God who punished you thus, sent me with a message of joy.
l want to make you my life partner!
- No. - Don't refuse me.
Think about it. Don't forget the question in my eyes.
Do give me an answer.
Ask him. He himself saw our daughter-in-law go to his house!
Yes, she came running and entered the house.
Not only this, the neighbours, townsfolk, everyone knows it!
Only you have the blindfold of ignorance on your eyes!
- Listen to me... - l won't! That's all l've done so far!
You've been speaking and l hear. Now l won't allow her to step out!
- Before you accuse her.. - l know everything!
l won't let this sin be committed in front of my eyes!
- Our daughter-in-law flirts with another man! - Aunt..
You keep quiet!
She has returned! Now ask her where she had been.
Ask her! Why don't you ask?
l knew she'd bring us dishonour!
She'll shame the judge in the middle of the town!
Good heavens!
Let go!
Unlucky jinx!
l see her face and something untoward happens!
God knows how the day will pass.
Do me a favour.
l've written a letter to Shekhar. Give it to him.
You didn't believe me.
- Here is the evidence! - What evidence?
This letter that daughter-in-law wrote to the boy with the coat!
- What has she written? - l'm not so brazen to read such notes!
Here, read it!
l am illiterate, a fool!
l don't understand anything.
All the intelligence in the world has come to you!
- Read it? - Yes.
- Want to hear what she... - No! l don't want to hear!
For woman there's no accusation worse than what you blame her of!
Listen.
The family has lost its' peace because of me.
There is no doubt that l love you.
But more important than love is my duty to this family.
My in-laws are more precious to me than my own parents.
l would not want them to be hurt because of me.
lf you care even a little for me...
don't ever wean me away from my duty!
Even if l have to spend the rest of my life in tears!
l will never meet you.
Thank God! My crying had an effect on her at least!
Yes.
Now take her out of college and let's leave this city! Come on.
Wait, Kaushalya.
Our daughter-in-law performed her duty.
Let us also do our duty.
We have no right to be obstacles in anyone's love.
What do you mean?
l will get her married.
Marriage..!
You will marry your daughter-in-law to another?
Yes, l will!
l am amazed why l did not think of it earlier?
Why didn't it strike me earlier?
Our culture is wrong!
Are you in your senses?
You've gone mad but l haven't!
l tolerated everything with a stone on my heart!
But no more! l'll eat something and kill myself!
Fine!
lf life can progress with the sacrifice of us old timers...
Then we should make the sacrifice!
Think of my late son!
l know this decision will give peace to Yeshwant's soul!
He will shower flowers from above!
Dear God!
l only know this much.
My son will not fall in love with any girl.
As regards Shanta being a widow, l can only say this..
Nobody can understand her pain more than me.
Yes, sister.
l should bow my head to you.
...who has broken the false customs of this world.
without caring for society.
For bringing your daughter-in-law's proposal
You really have to rise much higher to do so.
l'm not worthy of this.
l only know l had a son called Yeshwant.
Now his name is Shekhar.
- Okay... - Good day.
Come here.
l should have done this long ago
A grave injustice was being done to you. Here, take this.
Father...
- Don't interfere. - l won't let this sin be committed!
First strangle me or kill me!
l have already pronounced judgment!
l won't let this atrocity be committed as long as l live!
l'll never let this happen in this house! Never!
ls that so? Fine.
Then justice will be done in God's house!
l will marry Shanta in the temple!
l'll see who will stop me!
- Coming sister. - Go to the bride's village and tell her Dad!
The family honour is going down the drain!
lf he can, to come and save us!
You are right. My daughter is not a tramp!
...that she'll be with one today and another tomorrow!
- This is injustice! - The judge can't do this!
We won't let this happen! Call the neighbours!
- And the relatives! - Let's hurry!
Hurry up, son.
You're blushing like a girl!
Your Honour, quickly call the bride. lt's time for the wedding.
Daughter-in-law...Daughter.
What's wrong?
lf l'm not mistaken, this girl is a widow.
So what? You do your job.
- But.. - No buts.
Does any law hold you back?
No sir but as far as l know she is your daughter-in-law.
- Yes. - The father is needed to give the girl away.
- l will give her away. - No, your honour!
Our religion doesn't permit it!
Your religion permits this poor girl to lose her life?
Not finding place for herself in this religious place, she strays!
This is irreligious not religious!
Do you think this marriage won't be conducted without you?
l am a Brahmin by birth!
- l will perform the ceremony! - No!
- Nobody can stop me. - Stop!
See. Wasn't l saying the truth?
The world is being ruined!
lt's being created. For God's sake don't intervene.
- You be quiet! - Why don't you understand?
What is wrong with all of you?
Save these new fashion generation from this sin!
ls it a sin to let somebody breath or to strangle him?
l won't let this marriage be performed!
l'm the priest of this temple.
Nothing irreligious will be allowed!
Rivers of blood will flow!
lf you want to shed blood, first shed mine!
l sacrifice myself first at the altar of truth!
You stay out son. The first sacrifice will be mine!
There will be a wedding. We'll see who stop us!
- ls that so? - Yes!
Stop this!
These issues are not solved by violence!
Fists don't decide matters of the heart and the mind!
Educated people...
l'm responsible for this!
Your Honour! You have no right to perform her marriage!
- She is my daughter! - You are wrong.
The day you gave Shanta's hand to my son in marriage..
you lost your rights!
She is my daughter! l am her father.
You have given your daughter away in the presence of the sacred fire!
- Listen, my child.. - Ask the girl you want to remarry first!
You ask her.
What do you want, my girl?
Do you want your parents honor to be slandered?
Your little sisters remain unmarried!
The honourable name of the family to be besmirched!
No father! l don't even want to live!
Did you hear that?
l heard but you don't want to hear even after hearing.
She is struggling to breathe because you throttle her!
she wants to live but you are forcing her to die!
You are trying to force your decision on her!
- She refuses to get married! - Your Honour..
What does your law say to this?
The law says no accused can be forced to testify against himself!
lf Shanta testifies against herself, l rescind it!
- Who are you? - Once again l am a judge
and Saraswati speaks through me!
Once again l have been given the task of speaking the truth!
That is why today l will pronounce sentence on this case!
So there's no such case in the future!
You, you and you..all of you are asking the woman of our nation...
...the same question that Dhanpatrai asked Shanta.
And the law doesn't allow that!
You ask the question
and force her to give the answer you want to hear!
The daughter of our country is like a cow.
She will go wherever you lead her.
And you...on one hand you swear to protect cows..
Then you drag her through the market and publicly murder her!
Your blind society has gagged her in a thousand bonds!
So much that she can't judge her own welfare.
The woman scared to death by your atrocities...
...she says and does what you expect from her!
So much so that she revolts against herself!
For she knows she won't get a breath in your asphyxiating world!
Ask all of them...these mothers, sisters and daughters..
Do their hearts say what their mouths do?
My justice says Shanta will definitely be married!
This is the last judgement of my life!
The last....!
- Father! - Your Honour...!
Forgive me.
You can't be blamed for this.
You are bound by the wrong customs of our society.
Nobody can understand my sorrow!
My son...!
Shekhar is your son.
You are a mother. A symbol of motherhood.
Can't you see your son in him?
- Son! - Mother!
- l beg you... - Don't! l apologise to you.
Priest...
- Father.. - My child!
Be happy, my dear.
Live long, son.
Child...
Best wishes for your new life.
You're going to your new home but don't forget you have 2 kids here
- Father! - May all the joys of the world be yours.
And sorrows be ours.
Where is Mahesh?
Who will drive the car?
l'm no longer a driver. Hail Bajrangbali!
You donkey! what garb is this?
- This world is full of sorrows. - l know. Go and drop them.
l will obey you but l won't return.
l will go straight up to the lap of the Himalayas.
There l'll neither be a driver nor a cook.
Where are you going? l won't let you go!
- lt's too late. - l will go with you!
- l won't take you along! - Then why did you marry me?
who married you? When were we married?
Father...come here. Can't you take a joke?
