Pataakha (2018) - full transcript
Based on Charan Singh Pathik's short story Do Behnein, Pataakha narrates the story of two feuding sisters who realize the true nature of their relationship only after marriage "separates" them.
Bitch
Fleabag
Pig-face
Ass
Hippo
Elephant
Witch
Sorceress
Constipation
Loose Motion
Lizard
Chameleon
Lunatic
Crazy
Get lost
Those two sisters were like
India and Pakistan
children of the same mother
but thirsty for each other's blood
Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you like rhymes
I've cucumbers for you
Fresh cucumbers!
What are you looking for?
Lost something?
Or was it stolen?
You bumbling fool
looking for your smoke?
Well, well, well!
You witch!
Have you no shame?
Mind your language,
I'm your older sister
My shoe will talk to you,
you cold-hearted bitch!
You wretch!
Out of my way!
Ouch!
Move your hands faster,
we need a tonne by sunset
Lazy bum
Bapu!
Bapu!
Bapu
What is it?
The war has begun
Where?
In school
What the hell!
You good-for-nothings!
Stop it!
Come home right now
You witches!
Stop it
That's enough!
Stop it!
Come home
Don't stop until you get home!
And you...
you are the root cause
Everyone clap!
Cat got your tongue now?
I'm tired of asking.
What happened back there?
She stole
Stole what?
Spit it out, pig-face
Bapu, even she stole
Stole what?
Start talking, you witch
Stole what, you good-for-nothings?
Cigarette?
You good-for-nothings
smoking at this age?
Smoking at this young age
will scar you for life
You won't be able to have kids
But Ramju's aunt gave birth
to a football team
and she's been a smoker since she was nine
That's why she coughs day and night
Look at this
Here
Look at this photo
Smoking causes cancer
It kills!
But Bapu...
you're still here,
alive and kicking
You witches...
Run
Wait!
Wait
I said wait
Wait till I get you
I said wait
Wait!
Patel...
Yes?
Did you see my daughters?
Yeah, they ran towards the lake
Your father looked very angry
Here
Have a Cad-bury
You aren't eating anything
Have a Cad-bury
Bapu will break your bones,
if you go home
What do you suggest?
Stay here tonight
With you?
Sure, you won't do anything?
Not at all
We'll sleep, that's all
That's it?
Sleep?
You think we're dumb?
Of course, not
Who will you sleep with
Me, or
her?
Or, both?
What happened?
Hey wait...
Listen
Hear me out, darling
Tell me
I will marry you
Happy?
Now will you stay?
In decades you haven't found a bride
Know why?
Because the whole county knows
what a pervert you are!
She maybe a fool but you're smart
Damn you!
You are a pervert widower and
will remain one all your life
I'm really scared
Should have thought before fighting
I started it?
Who flung the shoe first?
Who stole the smoke?
I would have readily shared it with you
Spare me the drama, please!
Welcome back, my princesses
I promised your mother
on her deathbed
that I would leave no stone unturned
in your upbringing
But I guess, I've failed
Now...
Now there's only one solution left
No more school from tomorrow
- No, Bapu
- Okay
Fine
Okay, Bapu
No, Bapu,
I want to study
I want to start a business
What will you do with an education?
I'll become a teacher
And start a school of my own
And you
what business will you do?
Bapu...
Milk
I'll start a dairy
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Duffer!
Tell her to stop
Let's flip for it
Dipper...
Get me a stone
Wet...
means school
Dry...
means home
Dry
Yay! It's dry!
I'm so happy
the dry side is up!
I want to go to school, Bapu
I want to study
There's no need to cry
Don't cry
- Let go...
- Relax...
With time, their enmity increased
and with it, my source of entertainment
Cracker to the left
Cracker to the right
Boom, boom goes the cracker
What should I name my dairy?
How about Black Dairy?
You won't blush, will you?
Elbows you
Knees you too
Elbows you
Knees you too
Explodes in the head
Bang, bang goes the cracker
Cracker to the left
Cracker to the right
Boom, boom goes the cracker
boom goes the cracker
boom goes the cracker
Chutki...
Give me my towel back
Come out and take it
I can't step out naked!
Say sorry
In your dreams!
Suit yourself, my dear sister
Chutki!
Meeting daily over a brawl
Meeting daily over a brawl
Wrestling with thoughts
free-for-all
Dear God,
how long must I suffer this witch?
Help me find a man before she finds one
Oh God, please spare me from this bitch
I can't wait to grow up and get married
Cracker to the left
Cracker to the right
Boom, boom goes the cracker
Boom goes the cracker
Boom, boom goes the cracker
Ballu...
Come Ballu...
Hurry up
It's a rare sight today
What a view
But she's not to be seen
Who?
The hot one
my darling Champa Kumari
Wonder where she is
Right behind you,
you pervert
You dipshit
Who's that?
Where do you think you're going?
Stop!
I keep my hubby hidden in purdah
Your hubby roams the streets naked
It seems you've stolen
more than you need
Who are you?
A man
Why are your eyes popping out then?
Never seen a girl before?
Of course, I have
but none as gritty and spiteful as you
Bloody son of a...
I'll slap you so hard,
you'll land in the neighbouring state, get it?
Got it
But now, let go of the hay...
and start walking
Sure, I'll walk away, jackass
but the hay goes with me
Stop me if you can
Is that so?
I'll chop off your head and
sow it in the field
Next year, little heads in your likeness
will sway in the wind
Take it easy... I was kidding
This isn't even my field,
take what you want
But move the sickle away, please
Please
How could you?
I could have easily been hurt
Listen
I'll help you with the hay,
it looks heavy
Here we go
Bapu...
I'm not your Bapu, I'm Vishnu
Let go of me
Got you!
and you will now do as I say
What?
Sing a song
And if I don't?
Then I'll ride you like this until sunrise
Let me go
Sing
There’s your hubby, here’s mine
Go on
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
Go
You're free
You forgot the hay
It's my friend's field
Listen
Hold on
Listen...
Take this
Sorry...
Here
When will I see you again?
Never
It's the village fair next week
Want to come?
I will wait for you, darling!
No, Bapu...
This paltry amount won't help anymore
There's a new forest officer now
and he is demanding 400,000
No more, no less
A bribe of 400,000?
But you'll get a five-year contract
imagine what you'll earn by then?
A cool 1,000,000!
That is a profit of 600,000
But...
so much at one go?
You figure it out
You have a month
Either you pay up in 30 days
or leave the quarry
Give me a minute
Is there another way?
Of course there is
There, standing in person
Marry one of your daughters to him
and solve this problem forever
My daughters are my world!
They are not cattle that
I can hand over to that pervert widower
Your quarry, your daughters,
your choice
Sir, when can I except to get the loan?
Look, amounts over 100,000
get processed by the head office
They will send a team
to value your property
they'll go back...
Say about three to four weeks
Okay?
Okay, sir
With sarees from Chandni Chowk,
you'll look like a Cadillac, my love
Sisters and mothers,
final chance
A slip free with every saree
Special discount for unmarried girls,
a slip free with every saree
- Ask him
- You ask him
No, you ask
Sister, how can I help you?
How much for that one?
Which one?
The red one
300 rupees
Oh God! What's so special about it?
It's imported
Your husband will surely like it
It will fit you perfectly
Don't just take my word, try it on
Should I get it for you?
You shameless jerk!
How dare you say such disgusting things
and wink at me?
You jackass!
What happened?
He's winking at us
What's wrong?
What happened, Dipper?
He was winking at me
No, in fact he's called Dipper because
his blinking is involuntary
He has a heart of gold
Come on, let's go
If it weren't for you,
they would have killed me
May God bless you
with an amazing boyfriend
Thank you
He already has
My English teacher
from Indian Army, Vishnu
Hi, Dipper
Genda keeps talking about you
Nice to meet you
Good shop
He looks like a papaya
Check that guy out on the left
On the left
He's a squished banana
Now who's that?
Your future brother-in-law
Indeed, Chutki's boyfriend is a soldier
Yes!
Once he's done with his training,
he'll marry her and take her to the city
get her educated
and make her a teacher
What about your dairy now?
Down the drain it goes
Lord have mercy
Sorry
Excuse me, do you have a match box?
Wait
Don't get scared,
I won't do anything
What are you scared of?
Move
Don't run,
I won't beat you up
Don't get scared
Wait, what are you scared of?
Oh, my foot!
Oh God!
What happened?
I don't know
You've twisted your ankle
So, straighten it
I'm not a doctor
Then what are you?
Engineer
Junior Engineer
What's your name?
Jagan
How's it?
It's a good name
I meant your foot
Cucumber
Lady finger
Once you try the lady finger dish I make
You'll commit sui... suicide!
- Really?
- Sure
I'd rather kill someone than
eat lady fingers
It says here that I'll kill someone
Sweet gold ring
Miss Marigold
Keep it away from me!
Take it away!
I will throw up
What's wrong, darling?
It's only milk
Darling, milk reminds me of a wretch
Who?
What do you call a female dog in English?
Cheers!
What is it?
This reminds me of a childhood dream
What's that?
Someday I would like to
own a dairy
sell milk, cheese, butter
But dreams don't come true, do they?
No...
If someone kisses your eyes
then those dreams come true
You're so cheesy
Bapu, a letter
After due consideration of your application,
the Rajasthan Co-operative Bank
regrets to inform you
that your loan application has been rejected
I'm down to my last resort
I'll go and ask your uncle's help
Take care of the house
I'll be gone for a week
You better not fight
One
two
and three!
Uncle Chaubey
Jagan
How's it going?
It's been ages
Your wife?
soon to-be
Have you passed grade six?
Then you have to
live here for a year
You'll have to become a member
of the co-operative society first
and then buy a special breed of cows
The Red Sindhi cow
Buy the cows and
I'll take care of the rest
How much does a cow cost?
200,000 rupees
Okay
Let's go
200,000?
It's okay
200,000?
Where do we get it from?
Not where, but when.
That's the question to ask
Ask
When?
After our marriage
My grandpa set-up a trust for me
as a wedding gift
Trump said,
"But if I get elected President
we will make Ameri--"
Wow!
Sorry
Here
Very good
Eat this
Village ass, foreign sass
Here comes the village hag
from every angle worse than a drag
I've cut my own hair
not your father's fortune
And did I steal your mom's bra?
Mom must be in heaven,
crying over your exploits
You're still here,
so feast on these!
Shameless!
Come here
Witch can't even cover herself up
Regular 100, Recliner 150...
Will Salman Khan take his pants off
in this movie?
You bumbling fool!
At a night show?
I see
This is Chutki's--
How much for recliners?
I don't want your money
What I want is a photo
with my brother-in-law
Dipper!
Future brother-in-law
How about a selfie
Badku, you stand in the middle
with Salman Khan behind us
The more you see it,
the more you'll hurt
That's enough
Throw this in the trash
Unbelievable!
Wait, you coward!
Witch!
Hey, you!
Get up
What do you think you're doing?
- I'll help--
- You get lost!
You're coming home, now!
What should I do with you two?
I have a million things to deal with
First the bank rejected my loan
then uncle refused to help
and here you two are at war
She stole my clothes
Your clothes?
From where?
Bapu, gift from a guy
She's having an affair
And what about you?
You look ridiculous...
Why did you cut your hair?
Both of you are getting out of hand...
I'll have to
get you married off
One of you will get married next month
Prepare yourselves
No, Patel, that's too much
Oh it's nothing
I'll forget my way home
Then stay here tonight
This is as good as your home
Right?
Here you go
Throw it at that forest officer's face
No, no
Don't count
I think it's more
And I say it's less
No amount is good enough
to marry your precious daughters
Bapu...
Badki or Chutki?
I can't tell
I love both equally
And I too
Bapu, I have an idea
Let's flip for it
I can't find a coin,
let's use a note
Wet means...
Badki
And dry, Chutki
No...
Not tonight
Bapu, take care
Dipper
Tell me something
why do my daughters
hate each other so much?
Why are they at war constantly?
The same reason why
India and Pakistan are always at war
What?
A load of crap!
It's been more than 70 years
yet they find new reasons to fight
The firing and shelling at the border never stops
Bapu has disappeared?
Bapu
What's this?
Advance
Advance for?
The future Mrs. Patel
The elder one
always gets married first
How convenient!
You use me when necessary...
otherwise you walk all over me?
Of course!
Well, that's the tradition
One slap and you'll forget all traditions
Bring it on!
With pleasure
- I know you have a major crush on Patel
- Yeah, I do
Everything you've ever done
has been to lure Patel...
you dropped out of school,
your silly haircut
Don't pin it on me
I've seen you do stuff
to grab his attention
But now he'll have eyes only for you!
Here
Take these knives
Kill me right here, right now
What's the matter?
Listen carefully
Either there is a marriage or a funeral
We will flip for this later
Wet side?
Either
If wet, then Badki
Good morning, Mrs. Patel
Go on, laugh at my misery
After all, I am fortune's fool
You know you can make a call
Call who?
Your boyfriend
And tell him what?
Duh!
Ask him
if he truly loves you,
he should take you away
If I elope,
Bapu will commit suicide
Bapu...
Higher
I'll rather not say it
What's done is done
What do you mean?
Well, I could be mistaken
About what?
I thought the dry side was up
but somehow it changed
It's said the younger child is
the apple of the parents' eyes
And your father proved it
I'll post this on Facebook,
it'll go viral in no time
Viral?! Bapu will give me an aspirin and
get me married
Not that viral
Fine, let's file a police report
No, I don't want to do that
Tell me how much do you love me?
More than all the stars in the sky
that much
More than all the mobile phones in the world
that much
And you?
More than all the buffaloes in the world
that much
More than all the milk in the world
that much
There's your hubby,
here's mine
There's your hubby, here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
I keep mine hidden in purdah
Yours roams the streets naked
There's your hubby,
here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
What?
Numbskull!
Mine eats daal-baati soaked in ghee
Yours wanders hungry in the fields
There's your hubby, here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
Yours a petty thief
Mine steals the heart
Yours a petty thief
Mine steals the heart
Yours flirts with his sis-in-law
Dancing to her tunes
With a plate full of offerings,
begs of Kali
The world’s greatest liar
There's your hubby,
here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
Let me show you the moves
Wow Mrs. Patel!
My hubby a Banarsi paan
Yours the moon on a new-moon night
My hubby a Banarsi paan
Yours the moon on a new-moon night
Yours a total fraud
A rolling stone
Cockeyed to boot
I thumb my nose at him
Shifting loyalties every moment
There's your hubby,
here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
I keep mine hidden in purdah
Yours roams the streets naked
There's your hubby,
here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
You left that milk glass?
Yes
I was going to feed the dogs
but then, why not you
The dogs will have a feast from tomorrow
As I won't be here
Here, I'll give you a hand
So much love?
Are you serious?
No, I'm kidding
Are you alright?
Why?
You're talking nonsense
Forgive me if I ever hurt you
Look after yourself
Badku
Hurry up
Let's go
Wake up Badki,
get dressed
Badki
Bapu!
Bapu
- Relax, Bapu...
- Forgive me, Patel
Not at all, there's nothing to forgive
Sit down
Someone get water
- Not for me
- It's for me
In fact, I'm embarrassed
you've done so much for your girls
You let them do as they wanted
You didn't marry again
The entire village knows
of your sacrifice
No one deserves a daughter like Badki
What now, Patel?
A wedding
as it was meant to be
The toss sealed Badki's fate
so I kept mum
In fact, I wanted to marry Chutki
Huh?
Genda...
Tell me if you object
There's a world of a difference
between Badki and Chutki
Badki's heart is
cold as iron!
Whereas Chutki's is
24 carat gold!
Bapu
Listen
I'm willing to marry Chutki
And I'm certain that
she won't betray you like Badki
She dare not even speak
in your presence
Now that's true respect
And that's an ideal daughter
The perfect daughter!
Don't be stingy with the cashews
You knew, right?
Mrs. Patel
What are you talking about?
That the witch would run away
And how would I know that?
She couldn't have done it herself
You're lying
I swear on Bapu
It won't matter to you if Bapu dies
Swear on me
I swear on you
Good!
Now you will be responsible for my death!
I'd rather kill myself than marry that pervert
"I'll kill myself"
We need some more lights here
Leave the chair,
the groom is on his way
What are you doing?
Have you lost it? Stop it!
Why should I?
Because the roof is weak
and you are fat
You'll only end up with broken bones
Liar!
Fine! Give it a try
Go on
You're heavy as a rhino!
I told you, you buffalo!
Are you going to limp at your wedding?
There won't be a wedding
Are you sure?
Sure
Not even with him?
Marigold...
Darling...
Run with me
No, darling
Wrong!
Let us run away
Hey, President Trump!
Correct her English later
Now scram!
Yes, you're right
Chutki?
Chutki?
Open the door
Bapu...
Chutki...
Are you okay?
Open the door
Chutki?
Chutki, open the door
Not her too!
She must be nearby.
Someone go after her
Drop the act, Bapu
Or I'll shove this sword
down your throat!
I have nothing to do with this
Explain it to the village council
I'll make your life a living hell
if it's the last thing I do!
Hell!
Let's go back
The wedding's over!
Switch the lights off
You were paid to perform
Start playing
Grandma!
Vishnu!
When did you get back?
Just now
How are you?
Who is this?
First, give us your blessings
Alright, but who is she?
She's your daughter-in-law
You keep pestering me to get married
I got married last night
You as well?
As in?
Badku... come out
Look at what has happened!
Your brother also got married
You too?
- You didn't tell me
- Neither did you
I'll get sweets for you
Where's your wife from?
Uriya
She's also from Uriya
Where in Uriya?
Behind the water tank
My wife's house is also there
Which house?
The blue one
Even her house is blue
- Father's name?
- Shanti
Shanti Bhushan?
When Atal Bihari Vajpayee
met Pervez Musharraf in Agra
he said, "The bottomline is...
we can choose our enemies
but not our neighbours...
we can choose our relations
but not our relatives."
I've been cheated
Taken for a ride
Bapu has betrayed me
He took my money...
and helped his daughters elope
I spared no expense
cocktail party, lavish dinner
music, decoration, the works
I demand justice
right here right now,
in front of the whole village
Justice has been served
The couples are adults
Does the council accept
their clandestine wedding?
Yes
-You all agree?
-Yes
Yes
What about my money?
If that is settled
I'll be very grateful
The money...
I'll repay it little by little
No!
Not little by little
I want my money at one go
and I want it right now
You'll get it
The girls haven't married into a poor family
Am I right?
- Huh?
- They agree
It will be sent to you,
with interest
I'll drop by in the evening
Get lost!
One last thing...
they belong to
different castes, therefore
their respective families must approve
Grandma
do you accept?
Yes
Shanti Bhushan?
I want to have a word with my daughters
Can you survive under one roof?
You'll make life miserable for each other
Think about it, you still have time
Bapu...
my husband has got a new job
So, I will move to the city
And my husband's army training is finished
so now it's posting and shifting
No
Give me your word
the one who initiates the fight
will be responsible for my death
I love you, Bapu
I won't fight anymore,
you have my word
Saying it in English,
doesn't make my love any less
I won't fight anymore
you have my word
Let's have music!
I will repay you,
little by little
My salary barely covers my expenses
Have patience
as soon as I get promoted,
I'll call for you
Families are not allowed in war zones
Trust me, I had no idea that
I'd be posted in Kashmir
And what about my dairy?
The money from grandfather's trust
is gone
Where?
To repay Bapu's loan
Bapu himself didn't know,
how long it would take him to repay the loan
The fate of the two sisters was
stuck to each other like a coin to a magnet
Until Bapu's loan got repaid
they had to be away from their husbands
and live together under one roof
Repeat after me
A for?
Aalu
B for?
Bhindi
C for?
Chutney
- D for?- Darwaza
- E for?- Emlee
Who sleepy?
Chutki!
Out!
Their dreams would blow up like balloons
Their ambitions remained unfulfilled
even in their dreams
Due to Bapu's promise
and accepting their fate
they decided on a ceasefire
But this decision proved too costly...
They were alive, so to say, but
their life was a living hell
Raj Laxmi lottery
Turn rupees five to 500,000!
Dipper!
Dipper!
Dipper
You bumbling fools,
you are still alive?
You've put on so much weight
Like you care!
Not once did you check on us
I myself was in trouble
What?
Working with a shaman
selling magical concoctions
To cure what?
To help the old feel virile again
And?
Two old men died
The shaman ran away...
and I ended up in prison
Bapu has sent this
installment towards the loan
It seems too little
Bapu is in a mess, Grandma
The officer who took the bribe
got transferred
And the new one is awful
Alright
Bapu's loan will not be paid in this lifetime
Come on
Here's a lottery ticket
If you win, the loan is cleared
Yeah, right
Take this
deposit in the bank tomorrow
Okay, Grandma
Listen, it's the holy month
I want to go to Kashi to offer prayers
I don't think I'll get leave
And I have day and night training
Fine, I'll go on my own!
Come, let's go to school
- Bye
- Bye
Sm-art phone
The world at your fingertips
Any movie, any song, on demand
and video call,
don't even get me started on that
You can almost touch the person
- Really?
- Check it out
Impressive
Look at this
Look at this!
51 inches!
Satellite dish with 669 channels
sports, TV series, movies, spirituality
around the clock
Look at this!
News from around the world
eclipses, storms and other celestial events
Look at this
News of England,
America, Russia...
Look at this!
Your favourite Salman Khan
Look at Katrina Kaif's moves
Have both of you lost it?
Stop it!
Stop this farce!
Stop it
Take a look at yourselves
Your vacant eyes
and your face
like the emergency room
of a public hospital!
Why are you torturing yourselves?
What is this?
Life has become unbearable
it hurts
If it weren't for my daughter,
I would have taken my own life
It wouldn't come to that
If I hadn't promised Bapu
I would have killed you by now
This is our life now
put up with each other
and suffer every moment
And your dreams?
Dairy...
School...
It's over
flushed down the drain
Along with my dairy
There's nothing we can do now
We have no option left
You do
What?
Partition
Partition of India and Pakistan
Who is Pakistan?
Your sister
That wicked witch
My dear beautiful India
But I promised Bapu
You promised not to fight
with each other
but what stops you from making others fight
Partition is impossible
Not a chance!
You've seen
the brothers have a very strong bond
A woman is capable of turning
the strongest of bonds into crap
father and son, brothers,
any relation, you name it
over in the blink of an eye
Once the fields are divided
sell your share and fulfil your dreams
That won't be possible
Why not?
Because the value of the field is 200,000
I can get 400,000
From?
Such a cute couple
Where is the bride from?
Nepal
How much did you pay?
Half
How?
Thanks to the exchange rate
Why are you here now, Dipper?
To apologise
To apologise
No
Never
I'll never forgive you
What if I break up their household?
Not even then?
How?
You'll have to buy their field
For how much?
Twice the rate
Too much?
My humiliation is still raw
I'll even pay three times the rate
Get it?
Feed me!
Open the door!
Open the door!
Come out!
What is that?
What?
Come out
Look! What's this?
What?
Disgusting!
Your little one's pot of gold
Does it say it belongs to my daughter?
It must be yours
Are you blind?
Look...
See the guava seeds
So?
My daughter had grapes yesterday
And mine had apples
Has anyone ever had apples
in your family?
- And you have in your dreams
- Watch your step
- Don't insult my family
- You don't
What’s wrong?
This bitch is creating a scene
- Watch your tongue
- Why should I?
Because my husband is an officer
and not a low ranking sepoy
who only salutes his superiors all day
My husband is a paratrooper.
He
jumps from airplanes!
In English it's called an
"aeroplane"
And officers like your husband are a dime a dozen
Did you hear that?
She's calling you worthless
Worthless!
Say something
Yes, worthless!
You witch, your husband is worthless!
Vishnu
Jagan
Come inside
I can't believe how you were fighting
Like cats and dogs
Nobody will believe that you are sisters
Miss Marigold...
listen to me very carefully
I won't tolerate this
kind of behaviour anymore
Understand?
Don't let the family fall apart, please
No, Grandma, please don't cry
We've spoken to both of them
Don't cry
As long as America is present here,
we can't do anything
America?
Grandma!
Until she is here all efforts are futile
Nobody has a solution for America
Except for me
Is there any direct train
to Kashi from here?
Who is going to Kashi?
I have to perform my mother's last rites
I thought I'd leave from here
Thank God!
You have four days
Before the old lady returns
the border should be drawn
Dipper
Give me a minute
Best of luck!
My heart is beating,
keeps on repeating
I'm waiting for you
Where were you, darling?
Feeding the buffaloes
This time?
Yes
Darling, did someone say something?
What's wrong?
What do you care?
If I die today
you'll get another darling tomorrow
Will you tell me what happened?
Your sister-in-law
She cuts the good grass
and leaves the rotten stuff for me
The buffalo has been
hungry since morning
If I object, she hits me
her husband threatens too
He threatens?
What did he say?
He said, she will do as she wishes
It's better to die than to live like this
I'll speak to my brother tomorrow
You don't cry
Okay?
God promise?
God promise
Don't fall for her sob stories
Your wife is lying
Brother
What?
Our fields are joined
So?
Control your wife
And if not?
What will you do about it?
Hit me?
Raise your hand at me?
That's up to you
Junior!
Watch your mouth!
I don't need to learn from you
You hear that?
Shut up, will you!
You're responsible for this
I'm responsible?
You're blaming me?
And that ox’s wife...
she's a saint?
You hear that?
She called you an ox
Do you know what the villagers
call your husband?
That he's a wuss
- You wretch--
- Sister-in-law!
Junior!
Satisfied?
Congratulations!
We are back in two days
Time for phase two
Praise the goddess
- Okay
- Ta-ta
Please don't cry
Now celebrate
You've taken away a piece of my soul
The one responsible for this...
will suffer
Suffer!
It's just a phone
I'll get you another one
Let's go inside
come on
My phone...
English or Hindi?
English
In all these years
I have never
seen a TV in such bad shape
This can't be fixed
Sorry
Tickets?
Here, keep them
Are you happy now, bitch?
This is karma
As you sow, so shall you reap
It's not karma,
you poured
water on the TV
Really? You have any proof?
The look on your face says it all
Take a look at yourself
and show it to your worthless husband!
She called you worthless!
Shut your trap
One slap and you'll cry all night
I dare you
I'll make sure you regret it
Keep your threats to yourself
He's not a coward to be scared of you
And you think my husband won't fight back?
Send in your worthless bull!
Go on!
I said go
So, brother-in-law,
did you shit yourself?
How dare you!
- Come on, Vishnu!
- Break his head
- Vishnu!
- Come on!
What are you waiting
for?
Go for it
Is this the state of the Indian army?
Long Live Mother India!
Junior!
What's going on?
This way, my dear
I don't understand
Jagan
listen...
don't let anger cloud your judgement
Calm down and think about it
Trust me, I am calm
Vishnu
give it another thought
Are you responsible for this?
No, Bapu
You swear?
Is that a yes or a no?
Look after Vishnu
And that's how
Without any bloodshed
India and Pakistan were partitioned
Cracker to the left
Cracker to the right
Boom, boom goes the cracker

Boom, boom goes the cracker
Elbows you
Knees you too
Elbows you
Knees you too
Explodes in the head
Bang, bang goes the cracker
Cracker to the left

Boom, boom goes the cracker
Boom goes the cracker
Boom goes the cracker
What is this?
So many mistakes on each page
Falling over each other
constantly at war
The victor showing off
Yawning, stretching casually
free-for-all
Flares up on demand
Just place your order
Here and there and everywhere
Come, get your fireball
Cracker to the left
Cracker to the right
Hurry up
Sweep properly
Nobody listens to me
Scream your lungs out, squabbling
Squabbling
Scream your lungs out, squabbling
Get hold of the collar
Tear and stitch it every day
Once more, an encore please
Light the firecracker once more
Boom, boom and
Bang, bang, there goes the cracker

Give me some
Me too
You want some more?
Bapu!
Bapu...
My princess...
My child...
My dear
Fulfilled your dream?
Yes
What's with the cough?
It's nothing
Look at this
Dear family members
and all the
friends in the village
with your
blessings,
I have topped in my
institute
I have also earned scholarship
for my further studies
The day is not far when I will be a
teacher
and open a school in the
village
Love to all of you.
See you very, very soon
Wait a minute,
forgot to ask
How are you, Mother Dairy?
Bapu, once more
Today we are talking to the recipient of
the Golden Cow award, Mrs. Champa Kumari
Mother, look aunt is on TV
What?
How does it feel to win this?
Genda, come soon,
your sister is on TV
It feels good, feels great
What's the secret of your success?
Well, cows
How so?
Cows have...
a certain innocence, a giving nature
and they are meek
but if anybody troubles them,
they will chase you until kingdom come
You could say
Every cow is Champa and
Champa is in every cow
Every cow is Champa and
Champa is in every cow
Champa is in every cow
Every cow is Champa
and Champa is in every cow
Every cow is Champa
Every cow is Champa
and Champa is in every cow
Every cow is Champa
and Champa is in every cow
Sir
Vishnu
She's awake now
But...
there seems to be a problem
with her vision
Sir, what do you mean?
She can't see anything
Don't worry, we've called an eye surgeon
Come
Who is it?
Vishnu
Vishnu...
What's wrong with my eyes?
I can't see anything
It will be all right
I've gone blind
No, Marigold
How are you, Mother Dairy?
What is it?
How are you, Mother Dairy?
How are you, Mother Dairy?
open a school in the
village
Come out and talk
Come out I say,
enough of your English
You wait...
You got scared?
Witch! Come out!
- Come out, I say
- Champa?
What's wrong?
I think the witch from the well
has possessed her
Wait, I'll show you
You wait!
Champa...
Oh, no
Lie down, don't try to get up
you seem to be under stress
are you nauseous?
How does your mouth taste?
Sour or bitter?
Tell me
Badki
Tell me
Tell him, Champa
Hello?
Hello?
Hello Badki
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Badki?
What's wrong?
Hello, Jagan
This is Khenchu Maharaj...
come home as soon as you can
Badki has become
mute
Mute? What do you mean?
The reports seem good
Then why can't she see, doctor?
That remains to be seen
Your daughter-in-law desecrated
the sanctity of the well
and that's when the witch possessed her
Help us please, witch doctor
It'll take a goat and a bottle of whiskey
Okay
You evil spirit,
I command you to come out
Set her throat free
Evil spirit!
Badki
You hit me?
How dare you!
Badki...
Badki...
Listen to me
Somebody grab her
Stop her
Stop her
She'll kill him
Drop this, let's go inside
Yes, Vishnu?
Come inside
What?
Bapu...
God bless you
Genda, we'll be conducting
some advance tests
Are you ready?
Open your mouth
Lift your thumb
Good
Now, touch your right thumb
to your left thumb
Go on
Try it
It's okay
Tell me your name?
Okay
I want you to hum
Okay
Be careful
Very good
There's a door ten steps ahead of you
Walk towards it
No... I'll fall down
You won't fall
There's nothing in the way
Go on
Massage your throat
three times a day
You need to massage like this.
Okay?
Very good
Okay
Please wait outside
Not you
You go on
This is hysterical blindness
A psychosomatic prodrome
called hysterical aphonia
What do you mean?
It means she can see...
but her mind prevents her from seeing
How so?
It's like a blind person knows
where his mouth is
where his thumb is
but he can't see the chair
kept in his way
If a mute can cough,
that means his voice box is fine
What causes this?
She seems to have a lot of angst
a deep wound
sadness or she is annoyed with someone
And that's blocking her cornea
What's the cure for this?
Psychiatrist
or you can help her heal
with love and affection
Once that knot gets untied
she'll see again
She'll not only talk, but sing too
Chutki...
tell me something
How much do you
love me?
What's eating you up?
Eating me up?
Don't keep it all to yourself
tell me
what is it?
Why are you asking me this?
Because the doctor said
that you can see,
but you don't want to
There's nothing wrong with your throat
Medically
You mean
I'm pretending to be blind?
No...
And you believe the doctor?
No, Badki...
You're taking it the wrong way
I'll give that doctor a piece of my mind
take me to the hospital
- Right now
- You're taking it the wrong way
I've gone blind and you think I'm pretending
Badki...
Badki...
Badki!
Don't take it out on your medicine
Genda
don't forget to put eyedrop, okay?
Two eyedrop...
each eye, okay?
Take care
I'm getting late
Genda...
open the door
It's time for Bapu to leave
Trust me, I don't want to go but...
But you are
It's the festival of Holi tomorrow
And Badki's
situation has worsened
Now I've realised...
that you love her more than me
Go and consider me dead
Chutki...
I'll miss the train
Chutki, listen...
Move aside
Everything for rupees 10,
combs, mirrors, oil
chewing gum... rupees 10 flat rate
Use this oil your hair will come back
Get lost!
Mirror, oil, toys, chewing gum...
rupees 10 flat rate
mirrors, oil
Everything for rupees 10,
combs, mirrors, oil
Special rate for you
rupees two
Don't bother me
Dipper, it's you
Bapu, you're not dead yet?
I'm hardly alive
Make room for me
What's wrong?
Both my daughters lives are ruined
Bapu, don't cry
- Ruined
- No, Bapu...
The cure for both is the same, Bapu
for the blind and the mute
What?
War
Enough, you meddler
But it's the truth
first a thunderous war
followed by
long-lasting peace
I told you
they're like India and
Pakistan
Unless they fight,
they can't be happy
Dipper, the ticket collector
Let's go
I'll meet you at the next station
Stop right here
That's enough
Brake... brake
Bapu, let's go, we're home
You've slept enough, wake up
Bapu...
Bapu?
You sent word to Vishnu?
Yes, I called this morning
They should be here soon
Bapu...
Bapu...
Genda...
Bapu...
Bapu...
You can't go away like this
Bapu...
I can't even see you
I know, my sister has killed you
Badki took your life
Bapu...
Bapu...
She killed you
Bapu...
Bapu...
This bitch must have poisoned you
She poisoned you
You took Bapu's life,
now you're here for us?
You evil witch
I poisoned him?
You're accusing me?
You lying witch
Because of you he's dried up like a twig
and look at you,
how you have ballooned
You can see this balloon?
Of course, look
running a dairy farm
she's become a buffalo herself
If you're the wife of a soldier,
then step outside
I will perform your final rites before Bapu's.
I swear!
Come
Come on, Mrs. Telephone!
I'll cremate you before Bapu!
Come on, Badki
Let's go, Chutki
Today we'll decide once and for all
What the hell are you doing, Dipper?
No one will stop us today
No one will stop us today...
you have your kids swear
and your buffaloes
Here you go
Whoever interferes
will feel the wrath of my rod
There's no use being kind
No matter what you do,
evil always creeps in
You're right, sister
Everyone just sees their deeds
and turns a blind eye to the world
Yes, I was blind!
but you didn't even call me
I was possessed by a witch
and I couldn't talk
You didn't even ask how I was doing
Why didn't you ask first?
You don't even know what love is
Every night you would drop your blanket
and shiver in the cold
Who covered you up?
Mother's ghost?
You want me to recount?
When you were down with malaria...
I fasted for 16 days
For whom? Huh?
For that pervert Patel?
When you got your first period...
you were scared out of you wits
who explained it to you?
I tore my own clothes
to make a pad for you
You wore a loose tunic...
I saved every penny...
and brought you your first bra
I even ate lady finger for you
And I drank milk
The most disgusting thing ever
You ungrateful witch
Don't cry!
Fight!
Bapu!
Bapu...
Why did you stop?
Fight some more
or you'll start limping next
and then Dipper
will ask me to play dead again
It is the truth...
your peace remains in your war
So, my India-Pakistan...
Go fight
fight...
Come witch...
take a shot
You dirty wretch...
Happy Holi!
I wish a day would come when...
just like Badki and Chutki
Israel and Palestine
North Korea and South Korea
India and Pakistan
end their disagreements
and come together with love
Fleabag
Pig-face
Ass
Hippo
Elephant
Witch
Sorceress
Constipation
Loose Motion
Lizard
Chameleon
Lunatic
Crazy
Get lost
Those two sisters were like
India and Pakistan
children of the same mother
but thirsty for each other's blood
Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you like rhymes
I've cucumbers for you
Fresh cucumbers!
What are you looking for?
Lost something?
Or was it stolen?
You bumbling fool
looking for your smoke?
Well, well, well!
You witch!
Have you no shame?
Mind your language,
I'm your older sister
My shoe will talk to you,
you cold-hearted bitch!
You wretch!
Out of my way!
Ouch!
Move your hands faster,
we need a tonne by sunset
Lazy bum
Bapu!
Bapu!
Bapu
What is it?
The war has begun
Where?
In school
What the hell!
You good-for-nothings!
Stop it!
Come home right now
You witches!
Stop it
That's enough!
Stop it!
Come home
Don't stop until you get home!
And you...
you are the root cause
Everyone clap!
Cat got your tongue now?
I'm tired of asking.
What happened back there?
She stole
Stole what?
Spit it out, pig-face
Bapu, even she stole
Stole what?
Start talking, you witch
Stole what, you good-for-nothings?
Cigarette?
You good-for-nothings
smoking at this age?
Smoking at this young age
will scar you for life
You won't be able to have kids
But Ramju's aunt gave birth
to a football team
and she's been a smoker since she was nine
That's why she coughs day and night
Look at this
Here
Look at this photo
Smoking causes cancer
It kills!
But Bapu...
you're still here,
alive and kicking
You witches...
Run
Wait!
Wait
I said wait
Wait till I get you
I said wait
Wait!
Patel...
Yes?
Did you see my daughters?
Yeah, they ran towards the lake
Your father looked very angry
Here
Have a Cad-bury
You aren't eating anything
Have a Cad-bury
Bapu will break your bones,
if you go home
What do you suggest?
Stay here tonight
With you?
Sure, you won't do anything?
Not at all
We'll sleep, that's all
That's it?
Sleep?
You think we're dumb?
Of course, not
Who will you sleep with
Me, or
her?
Or, both?
What happened?
Hey wait...
Listen
Hear me out, darling
Tell me
I will marry you
Happy?
Now will you stay?
In decades you haven't found a bride
Know why?
Because the whole county knows
what a pervert you are!
She maybe a fool but you're smart
Damn you!
You are a pervert widower and
will remain one all your life
I'm really scared
Should have thought before fighting
I started it?
Who flung the shoe first?
Who stole the smoke?
I would have readily shared it with you
Spare me the drama, please!
Welcome back, my princesses
I promised your mother
on her deathbed
that I would leave no stone unturned
in your upbringing
But I guess, I've failed
Now...
Now there's only one solution left
No more school from tomorrow
- No, Bapu
- Okay
Fine
Okay, Bapu
No, Bapu,
I want to study
I want to start a business
What will you do with an education?
I'll become a teacher
And start a school of my own
And you
what business will you do?
Bapu...
Milk
I'll start a dairy
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star
Duffer!
Tell her to stop
Let's flip for it
Dipper...
Get me a stone
Wet...
means school
Dry...
means home
Dry
Yay! It's dry!
I'm so happy
the dry side is up!
I want to go to school, Bapu
I want to study
There's no need to cry
Don't cry
- Let go...
- Relax...
With time, their enmity increased
and with it, my source of entertainment
Cracker to the left
Cracker to the right
Boom, boom goes the cracker
What should I name my dairy?
How about Black Dairy?
You won't blush, will you?
Elbows you
Knees you too
Elbows you
Knees you too
Explodes in the head
Bang, bang goes the cracker
Cracker to the left
Cracker to the right
Boom, boom goes the cracker
boom goes the cracker
boom goes the cracker
Chutki...
Give me my towel back
Come out and take it
I can't step out naked!
Say sorry
In your dreams!
Suit yourself, my dear sister
Chutki!
Meeting daily over a brawl
Meeting daily over a brawl
Wrestling with thoughts
free-for-all
Dear God,
how long must I suffer this witch?
Help me find a man before she finds one
Oh God, please spare me from this bitch
I can't wait to grow up and get married
Cracker to the left
Cracker to the right
Boom, boom goes the cracker
Boom goes the cracker
Boom, boom goes the cracker
Ballu...
Come Ballu...
Hurry up
It's a rare sight today
What a view
But she's not to be seen
Who?
The hot one
my darling Champa Kumari
Wonder where she is
Right behind you,
you pervert
You dipshit
Who's that?
Where do you think you're going?
Stop!
I keep my hubby hidden in purdah
Your hubby roams the streets naked
It seems you've stolen
more than you need
Who are you?
A man
Why are your eyes popping out then?
Never seen a girl before?
Of course, I have
but none as gritty and spiteful as you
Bloody son of a...
I'll slap you so hard,
you'll land in the neighbouring state, get it?
Got it
But now, let go of the hay...
and start walking
Sure, I'll walk away, jackass
but the hay goes with me
Stop me if you can
Is that so?
I'll chop off your head and
sow it in the field
Next year, little heads in your likeness
will sway in the wind
Take it easy... I was kidding
This isn't even my field,
take what you want
But move the sickle away, please
Please
How could you?
I could have easily been hurt
Listen
I'll help you with the hay,
it looks heavy
Here we go
Bapu...
I'm not your Bapu, I'm Vishnu
Let go of me
Got you!
and you will now do as I say
What?
Sing a song
And if I don't?
Then I'll ride you like this until sunrise
Let me go
Sing
There’s your hubby, here’s mine
Go on
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
Go
You're free
You forgot the hay
It's my friend's field
Listen
Hold on
Listen...
Take this
Sorry...
Here
When will I see you again?
Never
It's the village fair next week
Want to come?
I will wait for you, darling!
No, Bapu...
This paltry amount won't help anymore
There's a new forest officer now
and he is demanding 400,000
No more, no less
A bribe of 400,000?
But you'll get a five-year contract
imagine what you'll earn by then?
A cool 1,000,000!
That is a profit of 600,000
But...
so much at one go?
You figure it out
You have a month
Either you pay up in 30 days
or leave the quarry
Give me a minute
Is there another way?
Of course there is
There, standing in person
Marry one of your daughters to him
and solve this problem forever
My daughters are my world!
They are not cattle that
I can hand over to that pervert widower
Your quarry, your daughters,
your choice
Sir, when can I except to get the loan?
Look, amounts over 100,000
get processed by the head office
They will send a team
to value your property
they'll go back...
Say about three to four weeks
Okay?
Okay, sir
With sarees from Chandni Chowk,
you'll look like a Cadillac, my love
Sisters and mothers,
final chance
A slip free with every saree
Special discount for unmarried girls,
a slip free with every saree
- Ask him
- You ask him
No, you ask
Sister, how can I help you?
How much for that one?
Which one?
The red one
300 rupees
Oh God! What's so special about it?
It's imported
Your husband will surely like it
It will fit you perfectly
Don't just take my word, try it on
Should I get it for you?
You shameless jerk!
How dare you say such disgusting things
and wink at me?
You jackass!
What happened?
He's winking at us
What's wrong?
What happened, Dipper?
He was winking at me
No, in fact he's called Dipper because
his blinking is involuntary
He has a heart of gold
Come on, let's go
If it weren't for you,
they would have killed me
May God bless you
with an amazing boyfriend
Thank you
He already has
My English teacher
from Indian Army, Vishnu
Hi, Dipper
Genda keeps talking about you
Nice to meet you
Good shop
He looks like a papaya
Check that guy out on the left
On the left
He's a squished banana
Now who's that?
Your future brother-in-law
Indeed, Chutki's boyfriend is a soldier
Yes!
Once he's done with his training,
he'll marry her and take her to the city
get her educated
and make her a teacher
What about your dairy now?
Down the drain it goes
Lord have mercy
Sorry
Excuse me, do you have a match box?
Wait
Don't get scared,
I won't do anything
What are you scared of?
Move
Don't run,
I won't beat you up
Don't get scared
Wait, what are you scared of?
Oh, my foot!
Oh God!
What happened?
I don't know
You've twisted your ankle
So, straighten it
I'm not a doctor
Then what are you?
Engineer
Junior Engineer
What's your name?
Jagan
How's it?
It's a good name
I meant your foot
Cucumber
Lady finger
Once you try the lady finger dish I make
You'll commit sui... suicide!
- Really?
- Sure
I'd rather kill someone than
eat lady fingers
It says here that I'll kill someone
Sweet gold ring
Miss Marigold
Keep it away from me!
Take it away!
I will throw up
What's wrong, darling?
It's only milk
Darling, milk reminds me of a wretch
Who?
What do you call a female dog in English?
Cheers!
What is it?
This reminds me of a childhood dream
What's that?
Someday I would like to
own a dairy
sell milk, cheese, butter
But dreams don't come true, do they?
No...
If someone kisses your eyes
then those dreams come true
You're so cheesy
Bapu, a letter
After due consideration of your application,
the Rajasthan Co-operative Bank
regrets to inform you
that your loan application has been rejected
I'm down to my last resort
I'll go and ask your uncle's help
Take care of the house
I'll be gone for a week
You better not fight
One
two
and three!
Uncle Chaubey
Jagan
How's it going?
It's been ages
Your wife?
soon to-be
Have you passed grade six?
Then you have to
live here for a year
You'll have to become a member
of the co-operative society first
and then buy a special breed of cows
The Red Sindhi cow
Buy the cows and
I'll take care of the rest
How much does a cow cost?
200,000 rupees
Okay
Let's go
200,000?
It's okay
200,000?
Where do we get it from?
Not where, but when.
That's the question to ask
Ask
When?
After our marriage
My grandpa set-up a trust for me
as a wedding gift
Trump said,
"But if I get elected President
we will make Ameri--"
Wow!
Sorry
Here
Very good
Eat this
Village ass, foreign sass
Here comes the village hag
from every angle worse than a drag
I've cut my own hair
not your father's fortune
And did I steal your mom's bra?
Mom must be in heaven,
crying over your exploits
You're still here,
so feast on these!
Shameless!
Come here
Witch can't even cover herself up
Regular 100, Recliner 150...
Will Salman Khan take his pants off
in this movie?
You bumbling fool!
At a night show?
I see
This is Chutki's--
How much for recliners?
I don't want your money
What I want is a photo
with my brother-in-law
Dipper!
Future brother-in-law
How about a selfie
Badku, you stand in the middle
with Salman Khan behind us
The more you see it,
the more you'll hurt
That's enough
Throw this in the trash
Unbelievable!
Wait, you coward!
Witch!
Hey, you!
Get up
What do you think you're doing?
- I'll help--
- You get lost!
You're coming home, now!
What should I do with you two?
I have a million things to deal with
First the bank rejected my loan
then uncle refused to help
and here you two are at war
She stole my clothes
Your clothes?
From where?
Bapu, gift from a guy
She's having an affair
And what about you?
You look ridiculous...
Why did you cut your hair?
Both of you are getting out of hand...
I'll have to
get you married off
One of you will get married next month
Prepare yourselves
No, Patel, that's too much
Oh it's nothing
I'll forget my way home
Then stay here tonight
This is as good as your home
Right?
Here you go
Throw it at that forest officer's face
No, no
Don't count
I think it's more
And I say it's less
No amount is good enough
to marry your precious daughters
Bapu...
Badki or Chutki?
I can't tell
I love both equally
And I too
Bapu, I have an idea
Let's flip for it
I can't find a coin,
let's use a note
Wet means...
Badki
And dry, Chutki
No...
Not tonight
Bapu, take care
Dipper
Tell me something
why do my daughters
hate each other so much?
Why are they at war constantly?
The same reason why
India and Pakistan are always at war
What?
A load of crap!
It's been more than 70 years
yet they find new reasons to fight
The firing and shelling at the border never stops
Bapu has disappeared?
Bapu
What's this?
Advance
Advance for?
The future Mrs. Patel
The elder one
always gets married first
How convenient!
You use me when necessary...
otherwise you walk all over me?
Of course!
Well, that's the tradition
One slap and you'll forget all traditions
Bring it on!
With pleasure
- I know you have a major crush on Patel
- Yeah, I do
Everything you've ever done
has been to lure Patel...
you dropped out of school,
your silly haircut
Don't pin it on me
I've seen you do stuff
to grab his attention
But now he'll have eyes only for you!
Here
Take these knives
Kill me right here, right now
What's the matter?
Listen carefully
Either there is a marriage or a funeral
We will flip for this later
Wet side?
Either
If wet, then Badki
Good morning, Mrs. Patel
Go on, laugh at my misery
After all, I am fortune's fool
You know you can make a call
Call who?
Your boyfriend
And tell him what?
Duh!
Ask him
if he truly loves you,
he should take you away
If I elope,
Bapu will commit suicide
Bapu...
Higher
I'll rather not say it
What's done is done
What do you mean?
Well, I could be mistaken
About what?
I thought the dry side was up
but somehow it changed
It's said the younger child is
the apple of the parents' eyes
And your father proved it
I'll post this on Facebook,
it'll go viral in no time
Viral?! Bapu will give me an aspirin and
get me married
Not that viral
Fine, let's file a police report
No, I don't want to do that
Tell me how much do you love me?
More than all the stars in the sky
that much
More than all the mobile phones in the world
that much
And you?
More than all the buffaloes in the world
that much
More than all the milk in the world
that much
There's your hubby,
here's mine
There's your hubby, here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
I keep mine hidden in purdah
Yours roams the streets naked
There's your hubby,
here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
What?
Numbskull!
Mine eats daal-baati soaked in ghee
Yours wanders hungry in the fields
There's your hubby, here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
Yours a petty thief
Mine steals the heart
Yours a petty thief
Mine steals the heart
Yours flirts with his sis-in-law
Dancing to her tunes
With a plate full of offerings,
begs of Kali
The world’s greatest liar
There's your hubby,
here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
Let me show you the moves
Wow Mrs. Patel!
My hubby a Banarsi paan
Yours the moon on a new-moon night
My hubby a Banarsi paan
Yours the moon on a new-moon night
Yours a total fraud
A rolling stone
Cockeyed to boot
I thumb my nose at him
Shifting loyalties every moment
There's your hubby,
here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
I keep mine hidden in purdah
Yours roams the streets naked
There's your hubby,
here's mine
Yours a scoundrel,
mine an angel
You left that milk glass?
Yes
I was going to feed the dogs
but then, why not you
The dogs will have a feast from tomorrow
As I won't be here
Here, I'll give you a hand
So much love?
Are you serious?
No, I'm kidding
Are you alright?
Why?
You're talking nonsense
Forgive me if I ever hurt you
Look after yourself
Badku
Hurry up
Let's go
Wake up Badki,
get dressed
Badki
Bapu!
Bapu
- Relax, Bapu...
- Forgive me, Patel
Not at all, there's nothing to forgive
Sit down
Someone get water
- Not for me
- It's for me
In fact, I'm embarrassed
you've done so much for your girls
You let them do as they wanted
You didn't marry again
The entire village knows
of your sacrifice
No one deserves a daughter like Badki
What now, Patel?
A wedding
as it was meant to be
The toss sealed Badki's fate
so I kept mum
In fact, I wanted to marry Chutki
Huh?
Genda...
Tell me if you object
There's a world of a difference
between Badki and Chutki
Badki's heart is
cold as iron!
Whereas Chutki's is
24 carat gold!
Bapu
Listen
I'm willing to marry Chutki
And I'm certain that
she won't betray you like Badki
She dare not even speak
in your presence
Now that's true respect
And that's an ideal daughter
The perfect daughter!
Don't be stingy with the cashews
You knew, right?
Mrs. Patel
What are you talking about?
That the witch would run away
And how would I know that?
She couldn't have done it herself
You're lying
I swear on Bapu
It won't matter to you if Bapu dies
Swear on me
I swear on you
Good!
Now you will be responsible for my death!
I'd rather kill myself than marry that pervert
"I'll kill myself"
We need some more lights here
Leave the chair,
the groom is on his way
What are you doing?
Have you lost it? Stop it!
Why should I?
Because the roof is weak
and you are fat
You'll only end up with broken bones
Liar!
Fine! Give it a try
Go on
You're heavy as a rhino!
I told you, you buffalo!
Are you going to limp at your wedding?
There won't be a wedding
Are you sure?
Sure
Not even with him?
Marigold...
Darling...
Run with me
No, darling
Wrong!
Let us run away
Hey, President Trump!
Correct her English later
Now scram!
Yes, you're right
Chutki?
Chutki?
Open the door
Bapu...
Chutki...
Are you okay?
Open the door
Chutki?
Chutki, open the door
Not her too!
She must be nearby.
Someone go after her
Drop the act, Bapu
Or I'll shove this sword
down your throat!
I have nothing to do with this
Explain it to the village council
I'll make your life a living hell
if it's the last thing I do!
Hell!
Let's go back
The wedding's over!
Switch the lights off
You were paid to perform
Start playing
Grandma!
Vishnu!
When did you get back?
Just now
How are you?
Who is this?
First, give us your blessings
Alright, but who is she?
She's your daughter-in-law
You keep pestering me to get married
I got married last night
You as well?
As in?
Badku... come out
Look at what has happened!
Your brother also got married
You too?
- You didn't tell me
- Neither did you
I'll get sweets for you
Where's your wife from?
Uriya
She's also from Uriya
Where in Uriya?
Behind the water tank
My wife's house is also there
Which house?
The blue one
Even her house is blue
- Father's name?
- Shanti
Shanti Bhushan?
When Atal Bihari Vajpayee
met Pervez Musharraf in Agra
he said, "The bottomline is...
we can choose our enemies
but not our neighbours...
we can choose our relations
but not our relatives."
I've been cheated
Taken for a ride
Bapu has betrayed me
He took my money...
and helped his daughters elope
I spared no expense
cocktail party, lavish dinner
music, decoration, the works
I demand justice
right here right now,
in front of the whole village
Justice has been served
The couples are adults
Does the council accept
their clandestine wedding?
Yes
-You all agree?
-Yes
Yes
What about my money?
If that is settled
I'll be very grateful
The money...
I'll repay it little by little
No!
Not little by little
I want my money at one go
and I want it right now
You'll get it
The girls haven't married into a poor family
Am I right?
- Huh?
- They agree
It will be sent to you,
with interest
I'll drop by in the evening
Get lost!
One last thing...
they belong to
different castes, therefore
their respective families must approve
Grandma
do you accept?
Yes
Shanti Bhushan?
I want to have a word with my daughters
Can you survive under one roof?
You'll make life miserable for each other
Think about it, you still have time
Bapu...
my husband has got a new job
So, I will move to the city
And my husband's army training is finished
so now it's posting and shifting
No
Give me your word
the one who initiates the fight
will be responsible for my death
I love you, Bapu
I won't fight anymore,
you have my word
Saying it in English,
doesn't make my love any less
I won't fight anymore
you have my word
Let's have music!
I will repay you,
little by little
My salary barely covers my expenses
Have patience
as soon as I get promoted,
I'll call for you
Families are not allowed in war zones
Trust me, I had no idea that
I'd be posted in Kashmir
And what about my dairy?
The money from grandfather's trust
is gone
Where?
To repay Bapu's loan
Bapu himself didn't know,
how long it would take him to repay the loan
The fate of the two sisters was
stuck to each other like a coin to a magnet
Until Bapu's loan got repaid
they had to be away from their husbands
and live together under one roof
Repeat after me
A for?
Aalu
B for?
Bhindi
C for?
Chutney
- D for?- Darwaza
- E for?- Emlee
Who sleepy?
Chutki!
Out!
Their dreams would blow up like balloons
Their ambitions remained unfulfilled
even in their dreams
Due to Bapu's promise
and accepting their fate
they decided on a ceasefire
But this decision proved too costly...
They were alive, so to say, but
their life was a living hell
Raj Laxmi lottery
Turn rupees five to 500,000!
Dipper!
Dipper!
Dipper
You bumbling fools,
you are still alive?
You've put on so much weight
Like you care!
Not once did you check on us
I myself was in trouble
What?
Working with a shaman
selling magical concoctions
To cure what?
To help the old feel virile again
And?
Two old men died
The shaman ran away...
and I ended up in prison
Bapu has sent this
installment towards the loan
It seems too little
Bapu is in a mess, Grandma
The officer who took the bribe
got transferred
And the new one is awful
Alright
Bapu's loan will not be paid in this lifetime
Come on
Here's a lottery ticket
If you win, the loan is cleared
Yeah, right
Take this
deposit in the bank tomorrow
Okay, Grandma
Listen, it's the holy month
I want to go to Kashi to offer prayers
I don't think I'll get leave
And I have day and night training
Fine, I'll go on my own!
Come, let's go to school
- Bye
- Bye
Sm-art phone
The world at your fingertips
Any movie, any song, on demand
and video call,
don't even get me started on that
You can almost touch the person
- Really?
- Check it out
Impressive
Look at this
Look at this!
51 inches!
Satellite dish with 669 channels
sports, TV series, movies, spirituality
around the clock
Look at this!
News from around the world
eclipses, storms and other celestial events
Look at this
News of England,
America, Russia...
Look at this!
Your favourite Salman Khan
Look at Katrina Kaif's moves
Have both of you lost it?
Stop it!
Stop this farce!
Stop it
Take a look at yourselves
Your vacant eyes
and your face
like the emergency room
of a public hospital!
Why are you torturing yourselves?
What is this?
Life has become unbearable
it hurts
If it weren't for my daughter,
I would have taken my own life
It wouldn't come to that
If I hadn't promised Bapu
I would have killed you by now
This is our life now
put up with each other
and suffer every moment
And your dreams?
Dairy...
School...
It's over
flushed down the drain
Along with my dairy
There's nothing we can do now
We have no option left
You do
What?
Partition
Partition of India and Pakistan
Who is Pakistan?
Your sister
That wicked witch
My dear beautiful India
But I promised Bapu
You promised not to fight
with each other
but what stops you from making others fight
Partition is impossible
Not a chance!
You've seen
the brothers have a very strong bond
A woman is capable of turning
the strongest of bonds into crap
father and son, brothers,
any relation, you name it
over in the blink of an eye
Once the fields are divided
sell your share and fulfil your dreams
That won't be possible
Why not?
Because the value of the field is 200,000
I can get 400,000
From?
Such a cute couple
Where is the bride from?
Nepal
How much did you pay?
Half
How?
Thanks to the exchange rate
Why are you here now, Dipper?
To apologise
To apologise
No
Never
I'll never forgive you
What if I break up their household?
Not even then?
How?
You'll have to buy their field
For how much?
Twice the rate
Too much?
My humiliation is still raw
I'll even pay three times the rate
Get it?
Feed me!
Open the door!
Open the door!
Come out!
What is that?
What?
Come out
Look! What's this?
What?
Disgusting!
Your little one's pot of gold
Does it say it belongs to my daughter?
It must be yours
Are you blind?
Look...
See the guava seeds
So?
My daughter had grapes yesterday
And mine had apples
Has anyone ever had apples
in your family?
- And you have in your dreams
- Watch your step
- Don't insult my family
- You don't
What’s wrong?
This bitch is creating a scene
- Watch your tongue
- Why should I?
Because my husband is an officer
and not a low ranking sepoy
who only salutes his superiors all day
My husband is a paratrooper.
He
jumps from airplanes!
In English it's called an
"aeroplane"
And officers like your husband are a dime a dozen
Did you hear that?
She's calling you worthless
Worthless!
Say something
Yes, worthless!
You witch, your husband is worthless!
Vishnu
Jagan
Come inside
I can't believe how you were fighting
Like cats and dogs
Nobody will believe that you are sisters
Miss Marigold...
listen to me very carefully
I won't tolerate this
kind of behaviour anymore
Understand?
Don't let the family fall apart, please
No, Grandma, please don't cry
We've spoken to both of them
Don't cry
As long as America is present here,
we can't do anything
America?
Grandma!
Until she is here all efforts are futile
Nobody has a solution for America
Except for me
Is there any direct train
to Kashi from here?
Who is going to Kashi?
I have to perform my mother's last rites
I thought I'd leave from here
Thank God!
You have four days
Before the old lady returns
the border should be drawn
Dipper
Give me a minute
Best of luck!
My heart is beating,
keeps on repeating
I'm waiting for you
Where were you, darling?
Feeding the buffaloes
This time?
Yes
Darling, did someone say something?
What's wrong?
What do you care?
If I die today
you'll get another darling tomorrow
Will you tell me what happened?
Your sister-in-law
She cuts the good grass
and leaves the rotten stuff for me
The buffalo has been
hungry since morning
If I object, she hits me
her husband threatens too
He threatens?
What did he say?
He said, she will do as she wishes
It's better to die than to live like this
I'll speak to my brother tomorrow
You don't cry
Okay?
God promise?
God promise
Don't fall for her sob stories
Your wife is lying
Brother
What?
Our fields are joined
So?
Control your wife
And if not?
What will you do about it?
Hit me?
Raise your hand at me?
That's up to you
Junior!
Watch your mouth!
I don't need to learn from you
You hear that?
Shut up, will you!
You're responsible for this
I'm responsible?
You're blaming me?
And that ox’s wife...
she's a saint?
You hear that?
She called you an ox
Do you know what the villagers
call your husband?
That he's a wuss
- You wretch--
- Sister-in-law!
Junior!
Satisfied?
Congratulations!
We are back in two days
Time for phase two
Praise the goddess
- Okay
- Ta-ta
Please don't cry
Now celebrate
You've taken away a piece of my soul
The one responsible for this...
will suffer
Suffer!
It's just a phone
I'll get you another one
Let's go inside
come on
My phone...
English or Hindi?
English
In all these years
I have never
seen a TV in such bad shape
This can't be fixed
Sorry
Tickets?
Here, keep them
Are you happy now, bitch?
This is karma
As you sow, so shall you reap
It's not karma,
you poured
water on the TV
Really? You have any proof?
The look on your face says it all
Take a look at yourself
and show it to your worthless husband!
She called you worthless!
Shut your trap
One slap and you'll cry all night
I dare you
I'll make sure you regret it
Keep your threats to yourself
He's not a coward to be scared of you
And you think my husband won't fight back?
Send in your worthless bull!
Go on!
I said go
So, brother-in-law,
did you shit yourself?
How dare you!
- Come on, Vishnu!
- Break his head
- Vishnu!
- Come on!
What are you waiting
for?
Go for it
Is this the state of the Indian army?
Long Live Mother India!
Junior!
What's going on?
This way, my dear
I don't understand
Jagan
listen...
don't let anger cloud your judgement
Calm down and think about it
Trust me, I am calm
Vishnu
give it another thought
Are you responsible for this?
No, Bapu
You swear?
Is that a yes or a no?
Look after Vishnu
And that's how
Without any bloodshed
India and Pakistan were partitioned

My dear
Fulfilled your dream?
Yes
What's with the cough?
It's nothing
Look at this
Dear family members
and all the
friends in the village
with your
blessings,
I have topped in my
institute
I have also earned scholarship
for my further studies
The day is not far when I will be a
teacher
and open a school in the
village
Love to all of you.
See you very, very soon
Wait a minute,
forgot to ask
How are you, Mother Dairy?
Bapu, once more
Today we are talking to the recipient of
the Golden Cow award, Mrs. Champa Kumari
Mother, look aunt is on TV
What?
How does it feel to win this?
Genda, come soon,
your sister is on TV
It feels good, feels great
What's the secret of your success?
Well, cows
How so?
Cows have...
a certain innocence, a giving nature
and they are meek
but if anybody troubles them,
they will chase you until kingdom come
You could say
Every cow is Champa and
Champa is in every cow
Every cow is Champa and
Champa is in every cow
Champa is in every cow
Every cow is Champa
and Champa is in every cow
Every cow is Champa
Every cow is Champa
and Champa is in every cow
Every cow is Champa
and Champa is in every cow
Sir
Vishnu
She's awake now
But...
there seems to be a problem
with her vision
Sir, what do you mean?
She can't see anything
Don't worry, we've called an eye surgeon
Come
Who is it?
Vishnu
Vishnu...
What's wrong with my eyes?
I can't see anything
It will be all right
I've gone blind
No, Marigold
How are you, Mother Dairy?
What is it?
How are you, Mother Dairy?
How are you, Mother Dairy?
open a school in the
village
Come out and talk
Come out I say,
enough of your English
You wait...
You got scared?
Witch! Come out!
- Come out, I say
- Champa?
What's wrong?
I think the witch from the well
has possessed her
Wait, I'll show you
You wait!
Champa...
Oh, no
Lie down, don't try to get up
you seem to be under stress
are you nauseous?
How does your mouth taste?
Sour or bitter?
Tell me
Badki
Tell me
Tell him, Champa
Hello?
Hello?
Hello Badki
Hello?
Can you hear me?
Badki?
What's wrong?
Hello, Jagan
This is Khenchu Maharaj...
come home as soon as you can
Badki has become
mute
Mute? What do you mean?
The reports seem good
Then why can't she see, doctor?
That remains to be seen
Your daughter-in-law desecrated
the sanctity of the well
and that's when the witch possessed her
Help us please, witch doctor
It'll take a goat and a bottle of whiskey
Okay
You evil spirit,
I command you to come out
Set her throat free
Evil spirit!
Badki
You hit me?
How dare you!
Badki...
Badki...
Listen to me
Somebody grab her
Stop her
Stop her
She'll kill him
Drop this, let's go inside
Yes, Vishnu?
Come inside
What?
Bapu...
God bless you
Genda, we'll be conducting
some advance tests
Are you ready?
Open your mouth
Lift your thumb
Good
Now, touch your right thumb
to your left thumb
Go on
Try it
It's okay
Tell me your name?
Okay
I want you to hum
Okay
Be careful
Very good
There's a door ten steps ahead of you
Walk towards it
No... I'll fall down
You won't fall
There's nothing in the way
Go on
Massage your throat
three times a day
You need to massage like this.
Okay?
Very good
Okay
Please wait outside
Not you
You go on
This is hysterical blindness
A psychosomatic prodrome
called hysterical aphonia
What do you mean?
It means she can see...
but her mind prevents her from seeing
How so?
It's like a blind person knows
where his mouth is
where his thumb is
but he can't see the chair
kept in his way
If a mute can cough,
that means his voice box is fine
What causes this?
She seems to have a lot of angst
a deep wound
sadness or she is annoyed with someone
And that's blocking her cornea
What's the cure for this?
Psychiatrist
or you can help her heal
with love and affection
Once that knot gets untied
she'll see again
She'll not only talk, but sing too
Chutki...
tell me something
How much do you
love me?
What's eating you up?
Eating me up?
Don't keep it all to yourself
tell me
what is it?
Why are you asking me this?
Because the doctor said
that you can see,
but you don't want to
There's nothing wrong with your throat
Medically
You mean
I'm pretending to be blind?
No...
And you believe the doctor?
No, Badki...
You're taking it the wrong way
I'll give that doctor a piece of my mind
take me to the hospital
- Right now
- You're taking it the wrong way
I've gone blind and you think I'm pretending
Badki...
Badki...
Badki!
Don't take it out on your medicine
Genda
don't forget to put eyedrop, okay?
Two eyedrop...
each eye, okay?
Take care
I'm getting late
Genda...
open the door
It's time for Bapu to leave
Trust me, I don't want to go but...
But you are
It's the festival of Holi tomorrow
And Badki's
situation has worsened
Now I've realised...
that you love her more than me
Go and consider me dead
Chutki...
I'll miss the train
Chutki, listen...
Move aside
Everything for rupees 10,
combs, mirrors, oil
chewing gum... rupees 10 flat rate
Use this oil your hair will come back
Get lost!
Mirror, oil, toys, chewing gum...
rupees 10 flat rate
mirrors, oil
Everything for rupees 10,
combs, mirrors, oil
Special rate for you
rupees two
Don't bother me
Dipper, it's you
Bapu, you're not dead yet?
I'm hardly alive
Make room for me
What's wrong?
Both my daughters lives are ruined
Bapu, don't cry
- Ruined
- No, Bapu...
The cure for both is the same, Bapu
for the blind and the mute
What?
War
Enough, you meddler
But it's the truth
first a thunderous war
followed by
long-lasting peace
I told you
they're like India and
Pakistan
Unless they fight,
they can't be happy
Dipper, the ticket collector
Let's go
I'll meet you at the next station
Stop right here
That's enough
Brake... brake
Bapu, let's go, we're home
You've slept enough, wake up
Bapu...
Bapu?
You sent word to Vishnu?
Yes, I called this morning
They should be here soon
Bapu...
Bapu...
Genda...
Bapu...
Bapu...
You can't go away like this
Bapu...
I can't even see you
I know, my sister has killed you
Badki took your life
Bapu...
Bapu...
She killed you
Bapu...
Bapu...
This bitch must have poisoned you
She poisoned you
You took Bapu's life,
now you're here for us?
You evil witch
I poisoned him?
You're accusing me?
You lying witch
Because of you he's dried up like a twig
and look at you,
how you have ballooned
You can see this balloon?
Of course, look
running a dairy farm
she's become a buffalo herself
If you're the wife of a soldier,
then step outside
I will perform your final rites before Bapu's.
I swear!
Come
Come on, Mrs. Telephone!
I'll cremate you before Bapu!
Come on, Badki
Let's go, Chutki
Today we'll decide once and for all
What the hell are you doing, Dipper?
No one will stop us today
No one will stop us today...
you have your kids swear
and your buffaloes
Here you go
Whoever interferes
will feel the wrath of my rod
There's no use being kind
No matter what you do,
evil always creeps in
You're right, sister
Everyone just sees their deeds
and turns a blind eye to the world
Yes, I was blind!
but you didn't even call me
I was possessed by a witch
and I couldn't talk
You didn't even ask how I was doing
Why didn't you ask first?
You don't even know what love is
Every night you would drop your blanket
and shiver in the cold
Who covered you up?
Mother's ghost?
You want me to recount?
When you were down with malaria...
I fasted for 16 days
For whom? Huh?
For that pervert Patel?
When you got your first period...
you were scared out of you wits
who explained it to you?
I tore my own clothes
to make a pad for you
You wore a loose tunic...
I saved every penny...
and brought you your first bra
I even ate lady finger for you
And I drank milk
The most disgusting thing ever
You ungrateful witch
Don't cry!
Fight!
Bapu!
Bapu...
Why did you stop?
Fight some more
or you'll start limping next
and then Dipper
will ask me to play dead again
It is the truth...
your peace remains in your war
So, my India-Pakistan...
Go fight
fight...
Come witch...
take a shot
You dirty wretch...
Happy Holi!
I wish a day would come when...
just like Badki and Chutki
Israel and Palestine
North Korea and South Korea
India and Pakistan
end their disagreements
and come together with love
