Bandhan (1969) - full transcript

Jeevanlal lives in a small village in India with his wife, Sita, a son, Dharmchand and daughter, Meena, and makes a living by stealing. One day he steals from the Tehsildar's home, returns to his home and hides the stolen property with his son. When the police arrive, Dharma hands over the stolen articles to them, they arrest Jeevanlal, he is found guilty, and sent to prison. Years later, Dharma has grown up but his dad hates him. Then one day both father and son get into a fight over selling the cow, Jeevanlal strikes his son, and Dharma takes a stick to defend himself. Sita intervenes, scolds Dharma for daring to attack his father, and asks him to leave. Dharma leaves home, goes to Bombay, finds work with a building contractor, earns money and sends his savings to his mother. Then one day Sita receives a letter from Dharma that he is returning home. She goes to the bus-stand to greet him, but is told that he is already gone home. When she reaches home she is shocked to find her husband lying dead in a pool of blood and her son standing over his dead body with a bloodied axe. The police arrest Dharma and he is held for trial. It is then that the truth will come out what really transpired between father and son that compelled one to kill the other.

- What happened?
- Nothing!

Open the door!

- Open the door, Jeevanlal!
- Wait!

- What is the matter? - Don't
pretend, you have committed a theft!

Theft and me?!

You could have tried someone else
but you tried to rob an inspector?

Do you know how much the necklace
that you have robbed costs?

It costs five thousand rupees!

Five thousandl...
What nonsense are you speaking?

I was sleeping when you came here.



You are accusing me of theft but
actually, you are the thief!

Do you think it is decent to enter
someone's house, middle of the night?

If you hand over the loot, I'll see
that you don't get a severe punishment.

Or else, you will be locked up
for years, do you understand?

Get out from here! You can
threaten someone else...

I've dealt with
the police even earlier!

I know that you want
to search my house...

but if you don't find anything then
tell me, how should I punish you?

Search his house!

I will see to it that you are
suspended from your job!

After all, you have to live in this
area, I'll deal with you later.

- There is nothing inside.
- I give you one more chance.

Tell me the truth,
where is the loot?

Sir, its here!



You scoundrel! How dare you!

- I will kill him!
- Leave him!

Leave me, let me deal with this boy!

Sita, I told you he was not my son!

Leave me!

- Hold him tight and handcuff him!
- Alright, do it.

Please don't hit him!

Take him away while I get the loot.

- Move away! - Please
don't take him away!

I will surely settle my scores
with all of you!

Jeevanlal alias Sunderlal, is
announced a punishment of 4 years...

under the IPC section 3538- 372.

Alright, I will do as you say.

But it is not a good idea
to mortgage your house.

When Jeevanlal comes back,
he will fight with me!

He will not say anything,
I promise!

- Instead of your house, why don't
you keep your land... - No, Lalaji!

I will not give my land!

It is the remembrance of
our ancestors, they will be hurt!

The land is like a farmer's mother,
how can one make its deal?

On whose land will my son
sow crops when he grows up?

You give me money for my house!

- Think once again!
- Yes, I have.

Alright, I will
make the calculations.

- Leave my hair!
- No, I will not! - You won't?

Dharma, what are you doing?
Leave her or I will hit you!

Leave him!

- She hit me!
- He teased me!

- No, she called me useless!
- That is what you are!

- No, you are! - Shut up!

Don't you dare hit her,
she is a girl!

But she uses more expletives
than the boys!

Haven't I told you
not to play with the boys?

I did not play with him!

Dirty girl!

Wonder what they shared in last
birth, they fight whenever they meet!

Wonder if it was the last birth
or is it this birth...

- Come, your papers are ready.
- Coming!

Come, put your thumb impression
here and take the money.

- We shall make a stamp paper later,
isn't it Lalaji? - Yes, manager.

- Uncle, did you have a good harvest?
- Yes, with the mercy of God!

What is the matter Dharma,
is this the vibrancy of youth?

No uncle, this is
the vibrancy of the harvest!

A farmer feels vibrant when
he gets a good harvest!

True! I also got a good harvest
but my youth...

Uncle, atleast think
about your old age!

I don't know anything, all I want is
my money or I shall take your land!

I am your debtor, you can
take away anything you want...

and if possible, you leave some
crop to provide me one meall...

but please don't take
my land from me!

He is not denying that
he owes you money.

Really! Forget the principal amount,
he hasn't even given me the interest!

How can he give when the interest is
a lot more than the principal amount?

That is bound to happen after all,
it is business!

But don't mete out
this injustice with this poor man.

Don't add up more interest or
he will die under its weight!

How will he die? Am I the one
to decide that or God?

After God, you have the authority!

- How is that? - When a man dies,
his soul goes to God...

isn't it? - True! - And when
he is alive, he comes to you.

- Isn't it? - He will
come if he is in trouble.

So aren't you the second in command?
You solve his problems! Isn't it?

That is true!

But before his first problem
is solved, the second one comes up!

Son, tell me clearly!

Its your interest which
keeps on multiplying!

- That is bound to happen! - And
repaying this, he's left with nothing!

Neither his house nor his land then,
you come to him asking for your money.

Isn't it, uncle? Thus, he finally
dies and reaches to the God above!

You all have grouped up against me,
this is no justice!

- What do you want? - Uncle, take
the interest but don't multiply it!

Have mercy on this poor man,
his young son passed away recently.

His hands are not
strong at this age!

That's what I meant, when he can't
plow, how will he give my money?

Don't worry, uncle. His son died
but we are yet alive!

- We will all work for him.
- Yes, we will!

We all will work together
and repay his debts.

Manikram, are you convinced now?

Chaudhry, I am concerned with the
money, how I get is not my concern!

- Lets go, the decision is taken!
- Yes, let us go!

Let us go, manager.

Dharma my son, I will try hard
to repay Lalaji's loan.

But I don't know
how to repay your favour?

Uncle, don't say that,
does a father owe a favour to his son?

May you prosper, son!

I had come here to see that if there
are some more people like you...

then this country
will progress a lot!

What are you saying? We belong here,
it is you who has made a sacrifice!

You have left your home and town
to serve the poor people like us!

- I was just coming to you.
- For your mother? - Yes.

- I am going out now, send her
tomorrow morning. - Alright.

Hey, you mare!

You rogue! You teased me again?

- Why did you throw a stone on me?
- Should I throw candies on you?

You are fond of being hit by me!

You witch! Come down,
I'll break your bones!

You come here, I will mince you!

Are you a woman or a menace?

If you come up then don't forget,
this tree is laden with mangoes...

I will hit you with them!

Let me see how you hit me!

- Stop, I say!
- Nothing can stop me now.

- Don't you dare come near me!
- Even I have decided today...

either you will live
in this village or me!

It will be you
who will not live here!

Dharma, that branch is not strong,
it will break!

I don't care! But today,
I will die and kill her too!

- Where are you running, you lizard?
- You are a tortoise!

- You get scared of a woman!
- I get scared?

Hey stop! You both will fall!

Stop! You will fall!

Hey, slOP!

See, I told you!

- Now where will you run?
- Don't you dare touch me!

- I will kick you! - Look at
yourself, you look so funny!

You look at yourself!

Rogue! Aren't you ashamed of using
your strength on a woman?

' Woman?!
. Why are you laughing?

What else you expect me to do?
You aren't a woman!

- Who says that?
- The whole village says it!

Why don't you take names?

- I am not scared, the doctor was
saying! - Lets ask him! - Come on!

The beats of your feet
are not stable!

You do not have fever!

You are alright but you are
possessed with a spirit of a Goddess!

- What will happen now?
- Lie down, I will tell you!

I will call the spirit
of the Goddess here!

Abracadabra! Goddess,
please appear before me!

- I will deal with him now!
- Go ahead! - Come with me.

- I said, come in.
- Why should I? You go in.

Alright, you stay here,
I will go inside.

Goddess, please appear!
Here comes the Goddess!

Goddess, please appear!

- You rogue! - You?! - You have
spoilt my name in the whole village.

Someone please save me from her!

Father, here we come!

- We were busy. - Didn't you tell
Dharma that I am not a woman?

Gauri, how can he tell such things
when he is not sure of himself!

- Shut up! - You are a rich man's
daughter, how can he say that?

Yes, father wants you to be
his daughter in law.

- The younger one! - No, the older
one. - Have you'll seen your faces?

Oh! Let us go and see our faces.

- What is this? - Let it be,
this is the invention by my sons.

This has to be pierced
in the body for a long time.

- He is not a doctor, he is a fraud.
- He is not qualified to be a doctor.

I will teach you a lesson,
come with me!

- What did you tell Dharma?
- But where is Dharma?

- Gauri, he has fooled you!
- The creep! I will set him right!

How dare he fool me?

- Brother, what is this?
- Don't you dare laugh at me!

Again you had a fight with that girl?
Why do you do it?

Mother, she is the one
who crosses my path always.

I was walking and
she hit me on my head!

- She will obviously hit you! - She
loves you that's why, she hits you.

- What did you say? - Haven't I
stopped you from fighting with Gauri?

You know that she is
Lalaji's daughter.

And every time you get
into a fight with her!

She may be Lalaji's daughter
but that witch...

What did you say?

Mother, stop her or I will hit her,
she will get killed!

You will kill me? Come here,
I will set you right!

Oh sure! You will hit me,
just try doing that!

- Come here, I shall set you right!
- Go away, don't threaten me!

I will not spare you today!

I will hit her,
you leave me, mother!

Come here, you witch!

You could not do anything to me!

- You will see me dead if you
say anything to her! - Mother!

- Come in! - But she hit me!
- How was it, brother?

Mother! You haven't slept yet?
Go to sleep.

It is quite late but
your father hasn't yet returned.

Chamelibai, you are great!

- That was great!
- You danced very well, Chamelibai.

Chameli, come close to...

Master, this beautiful maiden
looks very nice with you!

Okay Jeevanlal,
I would like to rest now.

Sure master, you will
feel better if you rest!

I will ask everybody to leave.

Come on, everyone leave!

Listen Jeevanlal,
I am going out for some days.

Did you do my work
regarding that lady doctor?

Don't worry. When you are loaded
with money then you have no fear!

- Take this! - Now you see
what spell I cast on her!

- You haven't slept yet?
- How can I?

- Have you eaten? - No!

You idiot! How many times have I
told you to eat if I come back late!

But you want to starve and
make me feel like a sinner!

Motherl... Come with me.

Mother, I've kept the money there,
please go to the doctor.

I don't need any medicine,
I am alright.

- What does that mean?
- I said I am fine!

Instead, save up money
for Meena's marriage.

Mother, is your life more
important or her marriage?

Didn't I tell you
not to grow up so soon?

And look, how you have grown up!

Look at yourself, your head
almost reaches the roof!

We men are supposed to be tall, its
because of you'll we have to look down!

- Mother, you will not go?
- No. - Alright.

- There is no money here. - It has
to be there, I haven't taken it.

I found it, mother.

Gauri, I was looking out for you.
My mother has fallen sick...

I cannot leave her alone, will you
please go and give lunch to my brother?

You want me to give lunch
to that scoundrel?

Gauri, do you really love
my brother that much?

Love?! I wouldn't
even look at him!

- Then why do you'll fight?
- I don't have spare time.

- I will be very happy the day he...
- Gets another woman as his wife?

Okay, I will take
his lunch if you insist.

But what if he hits me?

You don't talk to him,
just keep his lunch and walk away!

Go now!

Hey! Tell your brother
to eat his lunch.

Tell him to eat or
he will starve to death!

Hey! Tell your relative that I will
not eat anything touched by her!

Tell him, if he wants he can eat
or go to hell!

- You go to hell!
- Your elders can go to hell!

- May your family be damned!
- May your entire clan be damned!

Shameless man! Have you forgotten
the thrashing of that day?

Shut up! I will cut your neck
and hang it on my door!

I came here to give you food
and you are abusing me?

- You dog! - What, you called me
a dog? Does your father feed me?

- Yes, he does! - Wait!
I will teach you a lesson now!

- Where are you running, I'll
throw in the well. - Leave me!

- If you are dead, you won't
trouble me anymore. - Leave me!

- I will not spare you today!
- Leave me!

Let me go!

Hit me now! Let me see
what a man you are!

- Gauri, you go from here.
- No, I will not go!

- Why are you crying? - I am
crying because you are a coward.

I will go and tell the
entire village that you hit me!

Why are you following me?

Its a democratic country,
I can go wherever I want!

Oh really!

- Go now! - Won't you be
disgraced if I go ahead?

- People will say that you are
pursuing me. - I know everything.

First you hit me and now
you are feeling sorry for it.

Why can't you tell me clearly
that you want to apologise?

A person is not disgraced
if he apologises.

Come here so that I can apologise!

You have to apologise and
you want me to come to you?

- You come here! - You are making
it sound like a government tax...

which I have to pay at
a particular place. Come here!

- I will not! - You are making me
apologise and also acting smart?

Yes, I will do it. If you want
you come here or I will leave!

Its quite late and
my compounder is also not around.

I know but I am helpless,
the madam is very sick.

And if you don't reach in time
then she may perhaps die!

- Okay, I will come but...
- You don't worry.

You will be brought back safely!

- What is the problem?
- Well, she is not feeling too well.

And she gets
the urge of throwing up!

Father, the landlord doesn't have a
wife then who is calling for her?

- What? - I spoke
about the landlord.

You should have thought of
this village's honor.

Alright, if she doesn't wish to go
then let the landlord deal with her!

I am not concerned with it!

- Was he your father?
- I have tried hard to reform him.

Everyone has tried it. But I cannot
say anything after all, I am his son!

What relation is this wherein, a son
cannot say anything to his father...

a wife cannot say anything
to her husband.

- Why don't you...
- Tell me whatever you have to.

Please don't tell about this
to anyone else.

Meena is getting engaged
day after tomorrow.

With great difficulty
we have got a nice match.

They said that they cannot punish
the daughter for her father's sins.

- I am pleading to you!
- Don't say that, Dharma.

I am obligated to you myself.
Anyway, you came here for medicines...

I will just get it.

You have gifted a very beautiful
dress and a necklace to my daughter.

Sister, your daughter
is like my daughter too!

We are very poor,
we cannot offer much.

- Please sit. - Please consider our
daughter as a form of Goddess Laxmi.

What more could I ask for, sister?

- Please fix the wedding date.
- We shall do it as soon as possible.

Seek her blessings, son.

- I will drop them to
the bus station. - Goodbye, sister!

- Congratulations, sister! - I want
my daughter to be happily married.

I hope there aren't any
obstacles in the marriage.

You will cry a lot when she
goes away, isn't it, mother?

That is right but then I will
consider one of my duties fulfilled.

Don't worry, once your daughter will
go, your daughter in law will step in.

She will get her fate
with her, child.

- Brother! - What happened to you?
- He is a cry baby!

He has a weak heart like a bird!

- And you are strong as a lioness?
- Yes!

When will she get married
and go from this village?

How is she harming you? Perhaps,
she may marry in the same village...

May she be cremated here!

He is talking about me getting
cremated? I will not spare him!

May your wedding procession
turn into your death march!

- Why do you argue with him?
- When did I argue with him?

- He is the one... - She is
the one who fights with me always!

- You both trouble me a lot!
- I don't trouble you.

Madam, I cannot settle
accounts with this fool.

He drives me crazy,
you please deal with him!

Manager, you will have to do that!

Come along!

- Greetings, sister. - Greetings,
aunty! - ls Lalaji at home? - Yes.

- Come on, tell me. - Write down.
- What will I write if you don't say?

I remember, the grocer for 2 paise!

- What did you say?
- I meant the groceries.

- Alright. - Brinjals for 4 paise.

- Okay. - Eggs for 50 paise.

- Eggs for...what did you say?
- That's not what I meant!

I've said not to settle money with an
illiterate man and a beautiful woman!

- Isn't it? - What can I say?

What brings you here?

Uncle, didn't I tell you that a man
has to come to you when he is alive.

- So, here I am!
- You are joking with me again?

How can I dare to do that, uncle?

I have come here to talk about
my daughter's marriage.

I needed some money for that.

Is that all? You know that I've
never refused you for money.

Whenever you needed money, all you
did was sign the papers and got it.

But now when I open my vault,
all I can see is those signatures!

But its the matter of her daughter's
future and the village honor.

You are also right. Alright,
I will give loan against your land.

No, not the land. Against the land,
we can fulfill one time expense...

but the harvest takes care
of many expenses!

But this time you will get
the money only against your land.

Iam not talking to you!
Can't uncle answer my questions?

- Is he a fool?
Answer him, uncle! - Yes.

I have told you many a times
not to interfere in my matters.

- What would be the value of your
harvest? - Around five thousand.

- But we need only two thousand.
- Manager, give him the money.

It is the matter of a girl's
marriage, we should compromise.

Now are you happy?

Are you also happy?

Someone get the wood!

Will someone get a girl?

- What did you say?
- I asked for the wood!

Hold it well or you will drop it!

- Who let you in?
- I don't need an invitation!

You idiot, its my sister's marriage!

Its my friend's marriage,
you numskull!

- Is a sister more important or
a friend? - A friend, ask her!

- Yes, Tell her!
- A friend!

- What does that mean?
- If a brother was important...

then would he rejoice with
the thought that I am leaving?

No Meena, don't say that! Wonder
by whom this custom was formed.

It was made by you men! Someday,
even you'll get some woman crying here!

- No, I will love her a lot.
- Do you mean it?

- I promise! - You are lying!

You will forget everything at
that time, you all men are cheats!

Stop her Meena or I will
hit her again today!

Just try doing that!

Stop her, I am losing my temper!

I can't, this is regular feature,
only God can deal with you!

- Do you want someone else
to defend me? - Oh sure!

I will see to it that you
get married to a very wicked man.

He will ill-treat you and you will
return back crying to your house!

Did you hear the way he cursed me?

- And whatever you spoke was
no less! - I did not say anything.

I was just listening to him. Should
a man speak like this to a woman?

- I think he was expressing his love.
- ls this the way to express love?

Your brother is stone hearted,
he is not fit to be loved!

No, I know him better,
after all he is my brother!

He said it without meaning it, if
he learns that someone is eying you...

then he will kill that person!

Really?

You wait here!

- What is it? - Nothing.

You are smiling,
I am sure there is something!

I cannot say it
in front of everyone.

We'll just be back!

- Whom are you looking for?
- Don't worry, nobody will come here!

- I was just joking. - This joke
has got me close to you!

How far will you run?

Don't torture me anymore!
Make me happy!

Come, let me make you happy!

Lets run!

Shameless woman!
Aren't you ashamed?

Why are you laughing?

Why are you laughing?

I will tell you.

Becausembecause, you are a fool!

I am a fool?

Come close!

Sweetheart, I can
give my life to you!

You are a liar and
a very selfish man!

Who is not selfish?

Look, what I have made for you.

Let me see, this is great!

What is it?...You?!
Why have you come here?

Father, I have come
to take the necklace.

Is this a goldsmith's shop?

It isn't but you have made it!

I say leave from here, this is not
our house, its a dancer's house!

A son and a father can never
meet together in such a place!

Father, aren't you scared of
the repercussions of your act?

This necklace was given by
Gauri's in laws...

if they don't see it during the
wedding, they may return back!

Nobody will ever marry your daughter!

I don't have any children!

If I had, your grandfather wouldn't
write the property in your name!

And your mother and you
wouldn't guard it so closely!

You can take away everything that we
have but return back the necklace.

You have no right
over your daughter's gifts.

There is no bigger sin than that.

Have you come here to teach me
what is good and bad?

A man does many bad deeds but once
his conscience is awakened...

his life is complete!

Get out from here!

Please forgive me,
we were not worth you!

Stop this marriage!

Come Premnath, you will not
get married here!

- Father! - Nothing doing!
This marriage cannot take place.

- Please, sir! - Don't plead!
- Uncle, please!

- Please have mercy on us!
- I don't wish to defame my esteem!

I don't want the world
to ridicule me!

- Uncle, what will the people say?
- I have to show it to the people!

- Uncle please, for the sake of
my honor. - Move this away!

Have you ever heard that the girl's
side don't give any dowry and...

whatever was gifted from the boy's
side, is also seized by her parents?

My son earns Rs. 300/-,
is this his worth?

A son in law is very precious...

how can we evaluate him with money?

Don't talk to me, Dharma.
lam not a very nice man!

- Don't explain me anything!
- Please give me a chance.

- I'll get his house checked and send
him to jail. - Please let me talk!

Will you give our jewels or
should we return back?

I plead to you! You can
take my necklace instead.

- But please don't return back.
- Our village will be defamed.

I don't care! Give me back my
jewels or I shall return back.

- Sister, please...
- Don't call me sister!

- What will we do now?
- Only God can save you, sister!

Aunty!

- This belongs to you!
- What is it?

Your jewels. In your prayers,
please think about me too!

My child!

Aunty, years back, a wedding
procession came in the same way...

but it returned back.

Where I was then
and where I am now!

I feel as if once again, my wedding
procession is returning back.

- You are a Goddess! - Every woman
is a form of Goddess, aunty.

But she should get
a brother like Dharma.

Wait! You also attend the wedding.

No aunty, my place is not here,
I belong in the background.

Where there is no light
but only darkness!

My shadow should
also not fall on someone.

If I knew it then
I wouldn't accept this proposal.

Stop, Uncle!
These are your jewels.

Where were they earlier?

They were lost somewhere!

- That is a lie! - Forget all that
and lets go inside.

Not only theirs but the entire
village's honour is at stake!

Although its their fault but
we are apologising to you!

Give this to me. The fight was due to
these jewels, now why don't you agree?

- Alright, if you insist!
- That's like it!

Let the music begin.
Come, lets go inside!

Weren't you supposed to go out?

Jamuna, our Gauri has grown up!

So you have noticed her today? I've
been saying that since a long time!

But I did not notice it
until today!

Especially, after Jeevanlal's
daughter's marriage.

I will search for
a suitable boy right away!

Thank God that
you are concerned now!

Find a match close by,
not far away from this place.

- What? - Don't find a boy
from another village.

Lalaji, listen to what he says!

- What? - Jeevanlal's son is
giving away his land to his father.

- So what? - God forbid,
if the crops are destroyed...

or his field catches fire then from
whom will you recover the money?

- The one who owns the land! - Will
that goon Jeevanlal give your money?

What nonsense! He can never dare to
behave that way with me!

His father will have to sign
wherever his son has!

Instead of signing,
he will start a fight!

He can't get away, isn't there
a law prevailing in this country?

We are going to the court now and on
our return we shall go to his house.

We will check out his health.

But before that,
what if he insults us?

Why are you so scared of him?

- What is this? - Are you blind?
Can't you see, its your food.

Yes, but why have you got it?

Your mother is sick and
your sister is married now...

do you have a wife at home?

I could have gone home.

After working so much, you will
even go home to fetch your lunch?

- Won't you get a wife home?
- I will...when I need one!

Don't you need one now?

No! Alright, I will
take back your lunch.

- There, you started teasing
me again! - When did I do that?

I pronounced your name
in the right way!

Okay, tell me whether you want
to eat food or my abuses?

Both! I am really very hungry!

Come, start eating!

Hey, this doesn't taste good!

Your abuses add spice to the food!

- I will never abuse you,
henceforth! - Why?

Because, you have started enjoying
my abuses, you really are a fool!

- With you, I should deal in
a reverse way. - What do you mean?

When you want me to talk lovingly,
I will abuse you...

and when you want to hear
my abuses, I will...

- Then? - Thenmnothing!

When I want her to talk lovingly,
she will abuse...

and when I want her to abuse,
she will?...

She will love me!

- I have understood, Gauri.
- What have you understood?

- The same thing! - What?
- That one feels! - What?

As though you aren't aware of it!

I am not aware but if
you know then, tell me.

- First you tell me.
- No, you tell me.

Look, I am already suffering,
don't harass me more.

Even I have a lot of sorrows!

If our sorrows come together then
won't it be a joyful union?

Even I feel the same as you!

- What do you feel?
- You are so naive!

- There is a fire within me!
- You must be on fire...

but I am not on fire!

Liar! There is no smoke
without fire!

The lightning strikes in the skies!

Uncle, see Dharma is having opium!

Yes, how come he has changed today?

Someone must have
had that effect on him!

You are trying to boss over me in my
house? You want interest, take this!

Please save that man!

Constable!

- What is the matter?
- Jeevanlal is killing my man.

- Please come and save me.
- If you come ahead, I will kill you!

Wanted to kill me! Jeevanlal,
until now I kept quiet.

But now I will see to it that your
condition is worse than a pauper!

You can do what you want!

- You move away!
- Constable!

- Don't you dare move!
- Don't threaten me!

Are you trying to scare me?
I was in the jail for 10 years!

You are offended, brother?
I was just kidding.

You are respected
in this whole village!

Don't I consider
your wife as my sister?

I may be a thief...

but you thrive on people's blood!
You are a wolf in a guise of a man!

- Catch him! - Leave me, I say!

Let me see how Jeevanlal
lives in this village now!

Someone save him! Dharma,
the police has arrested your father!

Dharma, the police
has taken your father!

Hey! Come here.

Manager, why are you
behaving like a child?

- Lalaji, this dog...
- Who are you then?

- How are you, aunty?
- Greetings, brother!

Brother...

I am sorry for
my husband's behavior.

I have come here to apologise.

Father!

Brother, a wife
is called a better half.

A wife shares half of her
husband's good or bad deeds!

I have come to tell you that
I consider all his sins as mine.

- Please forgive me!
- Father, aunty is talking to you.

I know it!

Brother, I know what
you must be going through.

Forget that! Do you know how your
husband has mercilessly hit him?

You keep quiet and don't interfere!

She should, brother! If you are
hurt, won't she also be hurt?

And you are aware that
I do everything for my house.

Why did you speak about
the land with him?

You could have spoken
to me or my son, Dharma.

Stop treating your son like a saint!

I can bet on my mustache that he'll
be few steps ahead of his father!

Father, what will she do
with your mustache?

Gauri, you are
turning out to be audacious!

Brother, you have not understood
my Dharma, he is very nice.

Alright, tell him not to transfer
the land in his father's name.

I promise he will not do it!

- You please forgive me.
- Please forgive her, father.

She is pleading so much
in front of you!

I would have dealt with them
if you were not around.

I become speechless in front of you!

Yes aunty, there are two people here
who don't speak much, my father 8- me!

- Aunty, is everything fine? - Yes.
You'll have done many favors on us.

Scoot from here!
You children of a donkey!

- Yes, father! - You have grown up
and still playing marbles here?

Aren't you'll ashamed?
Today is the festival of Dassera.

On this day, Lord Rama
had won over Lanka.

Similarly, today you have to win
over Lalaji's daughter, Gauri.

And then, you have to marry her.

- Get married? - Both of us?
- Obviously you'll and not me!

- Come. - But father, Ram had got
the victory and my name is Shyam!

Father, I hope you aren't getting
confused between Ramayan 8- Mahabharat.

No, I am chalking
a new chapter in history.

Idiots, I'm taking you along so that
Lalaji likes atleast one face!

And listen, don't act funny
when you reach there!

- Father, you don't worry!
- We will behave ourselves!

Sons, in this attempt,
even I was left as a bachelor.

Father, are you a bachelor?

And the one at home whom we
call mother, is she your mother?

Let us go!

Father, you have perhaps forgotten
that you married our mother.

Yes, she is our mother!

Fools! She wasn't your mother
before her marriage.

That is right!

Yes, this is India, not the west!

On my signal, you will bow in front
of Lalaji and seek his blessings.

Wow! There must be a feast
prepared in his house today.

- Father, will we get a chance
to eat them? - Of course, you will!

But when they offer you something,
don't grab it immediately.

Its alright if they force you.

- And what else? - Remember,
everything has two names.

One is the normal and
the other is in Sanskrit.

You speak in Sanskrit.

For example, call a sweet dish
'prasad' and call water 'jal'.

- And what do we call our shoes?
- My head! Did you'll understand?

We understand, father. Firstly,
we don't understand things too well.

And once when we understand,
we never forget it!

- Come, let us go now!
- Shall I come dressed like this?

No son, you will have to
dress up very well.

Alright, I will wear the clothes
that I wear on the stage.

Very good! Let us go!

- Dassera greetings, Lalaji!
- Wish you the same!

- Welcome! - Greetings, Lalaji!
- Wish you the same!

Lalaji, I have come with a request
on this auspicious day of Dassera.

- Please tell me!
- Thank you, Lalaji.

What are you'll doing there? Come
here and seek Lalaji's blessings!

- Come here, I say! - Father, you
said we should come when you signal us.

Father, signal us!

- Please stop them! - Lalaji, they
are very affectionate children.

Stop it Ram and Shyam!

- Are they your children?
- Lalaji, bless them quickly!

Please forgive us!

- Did you offer them snacks?
- First let them settle down.

Manager, get some chairs.

- Son, will you eat 'ladoo'?
- Sure!...we don't eat 'ladoos'.

But if someone persists then
we surely eat!

They cannot digest these 'ladoos'!

- Get something else for them.
- Pudding!

Gauri, get some pudding for them.

Get it soon or
they will kill each other!

- I am ashamed for their behavior.
- No, they are very affectionate!

That is right! It is very rare
to find such children!

Only the fortunate ones
get sons like them!

- I have only two of them!
- They are enough!

Lalaji, actually I had come here
to speak regarding Ram and Shyam.

Well, I wanted your advice
for their marriage.

- Actually the thing is...
- That's a very good news!

- Your Gauri... - Why are you
feeling shy, is the sugar right?

What is the matter, Ram?
Eat the pudding!

Lalaji, he is very mischievous!

What is the matter, son?

- Lalaji, my Ram...
- Call him Ravan!

Thank God, it has come out!

Is there any other show that
you would like to present?

When should we come with
the wedding procession?

Leave or I shall kill you!

- Dharma, I am going back
to the city. - Suddenly?

Yes, its been long since
I have met my brother, Ravi.

Doctor, in your presence,
it was fun to fall sick.

The villagers have
a lot of faith in you.

Can't it be possible that once you
come here, you don't return back?

No Dharma, I am not
required here anymore.

- Why, what happened? - I mean, when
there are doctors like Ram 8- Shyam...

then why should I be here?

Dharma, take this.
I've written my address on it.

Your mother's health is fine but if
you need anything, do write to me!

Alright, I will leave now.

What are you doing here, Gauri?

Say something, what is the matter?

Go and ask her!

- Ask whom? - Ask her!

- 0h, her? - You seemed to be
very comfortable with her!

- What were you'll speaking?
- Nothing.

- Nothing? - Oh yes, she was
saying that she likes me a lot.

Oh my! She said that so clearly?

Obviously! ls it right
to twist the topic?

I don't know!

- What did you tell her?
- I...

- What could I say? I told her
clearly... - What did you say?

I told her that I like you a lot!

- Oh my! - I shouldn't have said it?
ls it wrong to speak the truth?

Sure! You can speak the truth
with her and keep on lying to me!

Is she more beautiful than me?

What are you saying? Haven't you
seen her style of talking?

The girls from a big city
are all shameless.

Really? But do you know
how educated she is?

Yes, she is educated and
you are a village bumpkin!

Will you understand her language?

- I don't understand English? - ls
there any sweetness in that language?

You are not aware how romantic
that language can be.

Besides, love is not everything,
taking care of the house 8- children...

their education, can a
village belle do all this?

Shut up! Aren't you ashamed?
That woman is trying to bewitch you!

She will lure you in such a way
that you will not realise it!

Stay with her for 2 days,
only then will you realise it.

Here, I am willingly serving you!

I get your food, I am even willing to
serve you when you come back tired.

I don't impose anything on you.
Never mind, I have faith in God!

I will go wherever
my destiny takes me!

- Don't call me.
- Listen to me.

- Leave me and go to her!
- I was just kidding.

- You are offended and crying?
- Yes, I am but as if you care!

You mad girl, I love you!

I cannot live without you,
I mean it.

- But I can live without you!
- Gauri, come back!

For my sake, for the sake
of my love, Gauri!

- Mother! - What is it?
- Open your mouth.

- Why? - I said open your mouth!

- That's like it!
- Leave me!

Why are you showering
so much affection today?

Mother, while I was on the farm,
I felt very sorry at your plight.

Father is never at home,
Meena is married now...

I am away the whole day, wonder
what you must be going through!

- What do you mean?
- What can I mean, mother?

I want you to make some arrangement
wherein, you don't feel lonely.

Are you talking about me
or yourself?

About me? Mother, I can be
busy with various things.

I am concerned about you.
All day long, you sit alone at home.

- I like the way I am!
- Oh mother, you don't understand!

Listen, don't you want to see
a beautiful face in this house?

- No, I don't want.
- But I want it, mother.

- I want it for your sake! - I want
you get married as soon as possible.

Mother, don't get me married!
Besides, how is it going to help?

I am concerned about you, why don't
you get a daughter in law for yourself!

I'll get a nice girl from my maiden
village, girls there are very pretty!

Mother, you are too much!
Why do you need to go that far?

Remember, when Meena
left you had cried a lot.

So do you want that the girl's
parents should also cry?

If the girl lives close by,
she can go to her mother's house too!

You are right. Banarsi, the sweetmeat
vendor's daughter has grown up.

There you go again! Can't you
see someone on this side?

Say clearly that you like Gauri!

- Which Gauri are you talking of?
- You don't know? - Oh! That Gauri?

The one who is Manikram's daughter?
Mother, I am willing if you insist.

But mother, will Manikram agree?

How will not? I will plead
to him for Gauri's hand!

He may not respect others but he
will surely not dismiss what I say.

I will speak to him today itself.

- But mother, what is the hurry?
- My dear son, I am in a hurry.

Weren't you ashamed of behaving like
this? Luckily, only he has seen you...

how would I face the people if
others would also see you?

- I have not sinned, father! - Look
at her, she is arguing with me?

You will teach me right and wrong,
do you know who his father is?

- He is a thief! - How can a son
be blamed for his father's deeds?

Jamuna, stop her or
I will silence her forever!

I will cut her into pieces!

- Lalaji, please listen. - I plead
to you, please go from here!

Jamuna, ask her how she is
connected with Jeevanlal's son?

Why aren't you speaking?
What does he mean to you?

- Everything! - Gauri, aren't you
ashamed of talking like this to him?

Isn't he ashamed of
asking me these questions?

Is that so? I will
deal with you later!

I will deal with them too!
Jamuna, this is too much...

whenever that goon went to jail, I
took pity on his family and fed them.

And I nursed that man's son!

They never returned my money back
neither did I ask for it.

And today, he could dare
to stand up against me?

- Manager! - Yes, Lalaji!
- Open all their past accounts.

Calculate the interest and
make the documents...

I will wipe out
Jeevanlal's entire family.

- Father! - All this has
happened because of youl...

your father is a generous man!
- They've seen my generosity...

they haven't seen my anger!
- Father, please... - Stay away!

I will go to his house and
teach him a lesson!

I swear it, I will turn
this boy into a pauper!

No father, don't do that,
I plead to you!

Don't call me father! You don't
know how strict I can be.

I can really be very bad!

I will see to it
that they are ruined!

I made a mistake, father!
I will never go there again!

- Do you promise? - I can
swear upon anything, father.

Then swear upon me!

Brother, I came here with a lot of
hopes and expectations...

you have always helped me,
please grant my one more wish!

I am helpless. Grown up children
are not under their parents control.

If Gauri agrees to it then
I have no problem.

Gauri, your father has
left the decision on you.

She is feeling shy. This is
the upbringing of our women!

They will never express their
heartfelt desires, come what may!

- Gauri, express your feelings.
- Don't ask her, brother.

- I know it.
- I will not marry your son!

What are you saying?
I never thought of anyone...

I never dreamt of
any other girl for my son.

My son...you'll grew up together
and took vows to stay together.

Growing up together is different and
getting married is different!

Look at your status
and look at mine!

Tell me yourself,
why should I poison myself?

How can I get married in the house
where all vices prevail?

Where nobody does good deeds or
command a respect in the society!

Did you hear that, sister?

I have heard but...

Mother!

This is not possible, mother!
There surely has to be something else.

My mind or my mouth
can speak a lie...

but these hands, which held her,
can never lie!

The duration of
my dream was very small!

Lalaji, he will not improve!

Unless you don't throw him from his
house, he'll not stop meeting Gauri.

Besides, Gauri is very innocent,
unless you don't act tough with him...

and take away his field, you cannot
save yourself from disgrace.

Uncle, please don't do
this injustice on me.

The sweat of my labour is yet fresh,
my crop has not yet not grown...

what will I sell and eat
throughout the year?

I don't know anything!

Instead of eying someone else's
honor, why don't you sell your own?

Don't let a farmer's curse befall on
you! The result of bad deeds is bad!

Dharamchand alias Jeevanlal,
the accusation against you is...

Have some mercy on me!
Please fear God!

Don't threaten me!
God is equal to all of us.

On the night of 10th September,
in Balrampur village...

you killed your father, Jeevanlal.

I cannot do anything for you!

Do you accept this crime?

- What are you seeing?
Cut the crop. - No, uncle.

Yes, I do!

Don't you dare touch my crop!

This was bound to happen, Jeevanlal
had to pay for his bad deeds!

Yes but no matter how big
a sinner the father may be...

That's exactly what I am saying,
we are heading towards doomsday!

Silence please!

Do you have a defense lawyer,
Dharamchand?

- No. - If you cannot get your own
lawyer then the court can help you.

- Come on, move!
- Throw him out!

So now that you have tried everything
you could, go call your father!

No, I don't need a lawyer.

The prosecution can present
the witness.

And if possible,
go call your God too!

When I have accepted my crime
then why do you need witnesses?

The court's proceedings don't end
if the accused accepts his crime.

I would like to request the court to
call for the most important witness...

- Move this away!
- Dharma, what are you doing?

Mrs. Sitadevi,
the wife of the deceased!

Throw this piece of stone
which you worship!

The court grants you permission.

Sitadevi, the widow of Jeevanlal,
come to the witness box.

Stop it! This is not a piece
of stone, it is the idol of my God!

No, the way he has controlled
the injustice mete in the world...

the same way, even I have
him under my control!

If he can, tell him to
get out from my grasp!

Don't disrespect God, as it is we
are suffering for some unknown sins.

What sin did we commit, just that
we toiled a lot all around the year!

And we sowed our crops
with our sweat and blood!

And with our hard work,
our harvest was ready!

Swear upon this holy Gita that
whatever you'll say will be the truth.

I could see a glimmer of hope,
just then...

You are asking this chaste woman
to swear upon a holy book?

Your God sent Manikram
to seize our field?

Oh my! Manikram has
seized our fields?

I will speak only the truth!

Sitadevi, is it true that
your husband was a debauch?

Never mind! This is what God wills!

Sir, I plead you not to
ask my mother such questions!

The one who has given us life,
will also feed us!

These are mere talks which all
the poor people in the world indulge!

She won't be able to bear it. She's
seen her husband only in one form...

This God will not do anything,
he will just watch us!

That of a God! And if there was any
other form, she couldn't see it.

Dharma, I did not know that
you will lose faith in God!

Mother, when we will be dying of
hunger, he will be bathing in milkl...

I want to prove that the son was
not in good terms with the father...

due to his debauch nature!

And be fed with a feast and
all he'll do is keep watching us!

You may continue!

Sitadevi, isn't it right that few
months back, they both had a fight?

Some rich man will dress him up in
sparkling gold and he'll get blinded!

The son had picked up
a stick to hit his father.

Yes mother, the Gods also
accept bribe these days!

And then, you hit your son
and asked him to leave the village.

Mother, besides injustice,
what has your husband given you!

You will not be compelled
to answer any question.

He has given me a lot,
you don't realise it.

But don't forget that
justice is above all relations!

- What has he given you?
- I have got you from him!

We request you to cooperate
with the court in this matter!

Mother!

Respected sirs, the murder that
was committed by my son...

- Mother, please forgive me!
- My son!

You all are here
to give justice to it.

But the murder that was committed
by a mother of her own son...

Go easy, son! You are working as if
you will sow today and reap tomorrow!

Who will give justice to that crime?

You are feeling sorry
about losing your land...

You are a mother and a wife too!

But why do forget that
this land is also yours!

All the religions preach
a wife's duty towards her husband.

You were the one who saved it
from Lalaji's clutches.

If you cannot talk clearly then
atleast you can give us a clue...

My son, a farmer has
to encounter all problems.

About the person
who killed your husband.

If there is no rain,
there is a drought...

Sitadevi, please tell us
who killed your husband?

If there is no drought, the
moneylender takes away the harvest.

Answer, who was the one
who made you a widow?

And God punishes him for his deeds!

Brother Dharma, Meena has come!

- My Meena has come!
- Your father has also returned!

You all are my enemies!

You all got together and
conspired against me!

If there is no money in this house
then how did you survive without me?

The court is adjourned.

You have come after so many months
and have started fighting?

Incidents of murder
do take place, your honor...

Let me look at you, I have been
anxiously waiting for you!

But one thing that makes this case
very crucial and gruesome is...

Stop this nonsense!
Give me the money, I say!

The murder of a father at
the hands of his own son!

- Father! - Move away!

I a saying the truth, I have
no money, everything has been sold.

I don't need to elaborate the status
of a father in Indian culture.

And this has been attested
by the Almighty himself!

- Greetings, father! - Hello!

Oh! So there is nothing
left to be sold?

But on 10th September, the accused
not only killed his father...

There is nothing left to be sold!

- I will not let you sell my cow!
- Who are you to stop me?

He has killed God himself!

Your honor, if he is not severely
punished for his crime then...

I have bought it,
you have no right over it.

I have no right? I have raised you
up and made you a man, move away!

The future generation will be
ruined with its influence!

You have not raised me...
Move away, mother!

Please excuse me for interfering
in the proceedings of the court.

Take him away from here or
I will kill him today!

My name is Ravi Sharma.

- Don't do that. - So,
there isn't anything in the house?

Your honor, I would like to
present myself as a defense lawyer.

I don't need a defense lawyer!

You move away!

I have few evidences that prove
the accused of being innocent.

I have to settle scores with this
rascal, lets decide once and for all!

But due to some reason, he holds
himself responsible for the murder.

Aren't you ashamed of behaving
this way with your father?

This man is going to sell my cow,
this man is a monster!

Brother, you perhaps don't know that
by saving me, you'll kill me further.

Shameless! How dare you call
your father a monster!

Please note this point, your honor!

The accused just stated, by saving
him, I'll be killing him further.

It is evident from this that
this man has crossed the limits of...

- Don't dare say anything
to my husband! - Your husband!

Yes, he is my husband.
But you aren't my son!

Iaw and justice and
wishes to commit suicide.

In the eyes of law, this offense
is as big as a murder!

It would be better if I would
give birth to a stone instead!

- Stop it, mother!
- Don't you dare call me mother!

The proceedings have begun and we
have reached the stage ofjudgment.

Get out from this house, I am dead
for you and you are dead for me!

The accused has already
confessed his crime.

That is why, your honor...

I will pray to God that he should be
my husband in the next birth too...

Mr. Kaul, you must be aware of
this simple rule in the law that...

no man can be compelled
to testify against himself!

But you should not
be born to me again!

Okay, your God has
answered your prayers!

Nobody has pressurized the accused
to do or say anything, Mr. Sharma.

- Go away!
I am not scared. - Mother!

But your honor, the pressure can be
circumstantial too!

Good that he has gone,
I don't live off his income!

This man has taken his sacrifice
and honesty to such an extend...

that now, it holds no significance!

Your honor, in the name ofjustice,
I appeal to the court...

to present justification
on behalf of this man!

You have the permission, Mr. Sharma.

I request to call Inspector Nath
from Balrampur police station.

Call him.

Inspector Nath, Balrampur police
station, appear before the court!

Are you coming from a temple?

Since when are you
in the police force?

Atleast there, you must have
looked into the eyes of God.

He must have reminded you
of someone's promises!

Since past 15 years.

- Did you make the investigations
in this case? - Yes.

He knows who is right and wrong!

Do you know the meaning of
investigation?

I am wrong that is why,
I am leaving this village.

Mr. Sharma is trying to insult
an experienced police officer.

I thought of thanking you for
the abuses you hurled on me!

Iam not trying Mr. Kaul,
lam insulting him!

Inspite of 15 years of experience,
Mr. Kaul is not aware of anything.

- And the last abuse was the
greatest! - I haven't abused you!

On behest of few people, he agreed
that Dharamchand is the murderer.

Then who did it? Anyway,
our fights have ended.

I want to ask him that in the list of
his witnesses, does he have anyone...

who has seen the accused raising
or hitting the axe at the deceased?

Nobody will fight with you
and come in your way.

That is because there was nobody
else present at the site of murder.

That's why, it can be said,
nobody else committed this murder!

I want to prove that during the time
the accused reached home...

and the murder took place,
many things transpired which were...

not known to him and neither,
to my learned friend, Mr. Kaul!

This is known to even
an uneducated man that...

before presenting
the case in the court...

it is not only necessary,
its mandatory that the case...

Does Dr. Sonia Sharma live here?

Should be thoroughly investigated
and then presented.

Yes, she lives here,
please come in.

That is why...

Mr. Sharma, what incidents and
circumstances are you talking about?

I will go and call her.

For example, why does the accused
need to break the door of his house?

The fire of revenge!

How much ever he may be
seething for his revenge...

he wouldn't break the door until,
he wouldn't have enough reasons.

Your honor, I don't know what
the defense lawyer is trying to say.

- Hello, Doctor! - What brings
you here? ls your mother alright?

Actually, my friend has understood
but is not willing to accept it.

- She is fine, its me who is
a little sick. - What is the matter?

There must be some scene inside the
house that compelled him to kill!

Come and sit.
Hey! Let them be on.

Instead of hinting, why don't you
state things clearly, Mr. Sharma.

At the time of murder, someone else
was present and not the accused!

- Now tell me.
- Where do I begin from, doctor?

- Who was there? - The same whom
he has mentioned in his letter.

This letter was found
by the police but...

You know my father,
he sold everything that we had...

due to some unknown reasons, they
did not mention it in the court.

All we had was our harvest which
Lalaji took away against his loan.

That is because, that person
has no connection with this murder.

There was no work in the village
so I came here in search of a job.

There is a connection infact, that
person is the reason of this murder!

A hard working and a honest man
like you, will surely get a job here!

At the time of murder, there was
a girl present in the room...

and her name is Gauri!

My brother has just returned,
I will call him.

It could be possible that Jeevanlal
was killed by this girl, Gauri.

Hence, I would request the court
to summon Guari as a witness.

Gauri should be summoned
at the next hearing.

- Take this and refill it.
- I beg your pardon!

- Who are you?
- My name is Dharma.

Are you the same who was imprisoned
for 3 years for eloping with a woman?

I have come from my village
just today and that too, all alone!

- Did you fight with her?
- How did you know?

Say 'l swear upon this holy book...'

I know everything,
you should be ashamed!

- You are father of 3 children and...
- What? - Did you get one more?

- What?...You please listen to me.
- What should I listen to?

I swear upon this holy book...

Oh! So you are
talking about Shankar?

That whatever I say...

- Who is he? - The one who has
6 children and is yet a bachelor!

I don't understand this.

Will be only the truth!

- Doctor! - Brother, you keep on
thinking about your cases all the time!

Do you love
the accused, Dharamchand?

This is Dharma,
he has come from Balrampur.

Is he the same whom you
keep on praising the whole day?

- No. - Did you ever love him?

0h, I see! But the way you described,
I thought he must be an old man.

- No!
- Tell me one thing...

I described him correctly. Brother,
you'll have to look for a job for him.

Everyone from your village
has attended this case...

why didn't you ever come?

Why not?

Tell us, why didn't you come?

You'll sit, I will arrange for tea.

It is not necessary for the witness
to answer this question.

- Sit down, Shankar.
- I am Dharma, not Shankar!

It is, your honor. With this, I
wish to highlight something important.

Shankar is a father of 6 children.

Oh yes! Sit. Now that you are here,
you need not worry about anything.

You have the permission!

Where were you 1-2 hours
before the murder?

I'll make arrangements for
your stay in the outhouse.

As far as a job is concerned, I know
someone, I'll write a note to him.

- In my house. - When you learnt
that Dharma had murdered his father...

- You will surely get a job.
- Thank you very much!

Where were you at that time?

At home.

Please note this point,
your honor that...

on hearing this ghastly news,
when everyone reached there...

she was sitting at home?

- I got scared. - Of whom?

Were you scared of the accused or
was there some other reason?

Isn't it true that when Dr. Sonia
was reading Dharma's letter...

you were also present at that moment?

- No. - ls this also wrong that
you told his sister, Meena that...

you would reach his house by 5 p.m.?

Have you seen this anklet before?

You are under an oath!

- Do you say that it is not yours?
- No, it is not mine!

- You are back! - Yes, doctor.

- You have come back quite late.
- I had gone to send a money order.

So this is also not yours?

0h, I see! Are you hungry?
I have made a sweet dish for you!

Where did you get it from?

- Is this a piece of your dress?
- No!

You just asked me where I got it
from and now you are denying?

Don't say any further!
My mouth is already watering!

You are lying Gauri, this is
a piece from your dress!

- Can I take a wash? - Sure!
Dharma, go that side.

- Why did it tear?
- I don't know!

You know everything!

- Brother! - You keep quiet!

Your honor, note this point that
Gauri's statements are false!

Yes, brother!

She had connection
with the accused...

and everyone living in Balrampur
is aware of this!

I have been observing that you look
very different in Dharma's presence.

Besides, the letter written
by the accused

confirms this fact!

- What's your interest in him? - The
same as one human being has in another!

I hope Meena and you must be fine,
I will reach on Sunday by 5 p.m...

I am glad to know that
finally Gauri admitted...

ls that all?

That she loves me!

I have not asked him for anything,
Dharma is a very nice man.

Your honor, this letter proves that
Gauri 8- Dharamchand loved each other.

I will do anything for him.

Besides this, I have other
evidences which prove that...

- He needs me at this moment.
- And the villagers?

Gauri was present in his house
at the time of murder.

- What? - Do you remember
your mission of going to a village?

This discussion is
absolutely baseless!

What is Mr. Sharma
trying to prove?

I want to prove that Jeevanlal was
murdered by Gauri 8- not Dharamchand!

- I have not forgotten, brother.
- You shouldn't forget.

- That is a lie!
- This is a fact, your honor!

- When are you going back?
- Even I was thinking the same.

Jeevanlal and Gauri's father
shared an old enmity.

When are you going back
to the village?

Jeevanlal was the biggest obstacle
in the path of their love!

- No! - On the evening
of 10th September...

Gauri went to meet Dharamchand
in his house.

- I will go tomorrow morning.
- That will be very nice!

There she saw Jeevanlal
who was completely drunk!

On reaching there, write to me
about my mother, Meena and Gauri!

Seeing him, Gauri's temper rose...

he looked at her and smiled,
she charged at him...

and in that same tiff, this piece
of her dress tore and...

this anklet broke!
- This is a lie!

And after that, this woman,
with the help of this axe...

Sure!

Killed Jeevanlal, who was a
barrier in the path of her love!

- This is a lie!
- This is the truth, your honor!

When all this occurred,
Dharamchand was not present there.

- I was there! - Not at
the time of murder...

- Gauri, you?!
- I have come to meet you.

When he reached there,
Jeevanlal was already dead!

- Why, is there anything special?
- No, nothing special...

And the axe was in Gauri's hand.

He asked Gauri to leave
from there and...

You have come back from town
so I came to meet you.

For the sake of his love, he took
the blame of murder on himself!

Come in.

No, this is a lie!

This radio is so beautiful. Such
good things are available in a city.

I've never been to a city.
Isn't it very big place...

Sir, I will tell you.

Isn't that place full of activities?
Doctor, tell me one thing.

Mr. Sharma has done
many favors for me.

- Ask. - I have heard that the
girls there wear very good clothes.

He supported me at the time
when nobody was close to me.

They must be looking very good
that is why...

But today, by accusing an innocent
girl, he is committing a very big sin!

Once a person who leaves a village
and goes there, never returns back!

Why did you do this to him, Gauri?

But it isn't his fault.

Whom are you talking about?

There is something in every man
which makes him lose his control.

The one regarding whom
you have come here, Dharma.

Well, I...

A husband's murder and that too,
committed by her own son...

the one who is a part of her!

You are a very loving 8- innocent girl
then why did you love him 8- turn away?

Some people saw me
going in the house...

and some saw me with
the axe in my hand...

- This is a lie!
- Tell me the truth...

and today, Mr. Sharma even proved
that Gauri was present there!

Was it the truth then or now?

That was also a truth
and so is this!

Aunty!

My father told me ifl meet Dharma,
he will throw him out of his house.

Aunty!

Aunty!

Hearing that I told Dharma's mother
that I am not connected with him.

Inspite of that,
my father seized his fields.

I will see to it that
your honor is disgraced!

Now you tell me, how can I be
blamed for my father's deeds?

I still love Dharma very much!

Aunty!

Child, I wasn't aware that
you made this sacrifice for us.

You are the daughter of
the scoundrel who sent me to jail!

I couldn't believe it then and today,
after hearing you, I am very happy!

I had vowed to destroy
your entire family!

You don't worry,
everything will be fine.

How is it possible? My father
will get me married somewhere else.

Before he gets you married,
I will write to Dharma...

once he comes back,
everything will be fine.

Yes child, everything will be fine.

- Shall I keep it here?
- Yes.

- How is Meena?
- I had come here for her.

She is not too well, she remembers
her brother and cries all the while.

Please write to him that
he should return back soon.

Leave me!

Don't worry. Gauri,
you also stop worrying.

I will call back Dharma very soon!

Child, please smile now.

Father!

'Greetings, mother! I hope
Meena and you will be fine...

I will reach home on Sunday,
by 5 p.m...

I am glad to know that
Gauri admitted her love for me!...

but I am also unhappy to learn that
father took the money I sent for you'

Father!

You have come again?
I will kill you today!

'He has crossed the limit of tyranny,
I will decide once and for all!...

- Father! - You rogue!
You have always come in my way.

Your son, Dharma'.

Inspector, he has once again
resorted to hooliganism.

He threatens me
whenever he meets me!

You scoundrel!
I will not spare you today.

Inspector, is it hooliganism
to ask for my rights?

He has given only Rs. 2,000/-
for a harvest worth Rs. 6,000/-!

Will his father pay
the balance amount?

Mind your language, Jeevanlal!

Did you see? This is
the language he speaks!

He forgets that his house and land
is mortgaged to me.

Inspector, his wife
borrowed money from me...

she fed her family and
him with my money.

Even if he earns all his life,
he won't be able to repay my loan.

When the interest is more than the
principal amount then how can I repay?

We have given you a lot more
than we took from you.

If that is so then this time, I
shall take your fields and house too!

Father!

I shall go to the court
and drag you also there!

I will see to it that your
family begs on the roads!

- Shut up! - Inspector, see he is
threatening me in front of you.

If I get a complain against you or
if you dare go near his house...

No, father!

You will take a decision about me?
I will decide about you today!

Then I shall arrest you!

You'll can go now!
You need not worry.

Thank you, inspector.
Come, manager.

The last time you were
arrested for only 4 months...

this time I will make sure that
you get life imprisonment!

And I will also see to it that
you are disgraced in the society!

Aunty, the bus has come long back
and Dharma has reached home.

Oh! I had gone to reach Meena to
the hospital and got delayed there.

- How was he looking?
- Very good, you go home quickly!

Gauri, you have not seen anything,
you don't know anything!

For the sake of my love, promise me
that you'll never say a word to anyone!

Our honor is at stake!
You go, Gauri!

Please say something!

Father!

Abuse me but say something!

- Father! - Dharma, I did not know
that Manikram's daughter loved you.

You ill-fated boy,
finally you did make your decision!

She would be our daughter in law,
don't tell your mother about this.

Now make a decision for me too,
kill me also!

She has endured a lot but
she won't be able to bear this.

Promise me that you will
not tell this to anyone.

I promise father,
I will not tell this to anyone.

Dharma, till date I did not
treat her as my wife...

I never treated you as my son...

please forgive me, son!

Father!

Father!

Your honor, look towards this lady
who is my mother...

who has not encountered anything
else in her life but sorrows!

The one who would bless me
and shield me...

she felt that with her deeds, she
could cover the honor of her family!

And if I would tell her the truth
then wouldn't I commit a bigger sin?

I don't wish to say any further.

The court announces deceased
Jeevanlal's death, an accident...

and releases Dharamchand.

What do I call you?

Call me your son!

Mother!

- Mother! - My son!

I had already become a widow but...

by accusing my son of a murder,
I had also died!

Son, you have given
both of us a new life.

How can I thank you?

No, thank her, she is the one
who has taken up social welfare work.

Sister, you always came to me
asking me for things...

today I am asking you for something.

I am asking for Dharma's hand!

But please don't ask
for an interest...

I have forgiven my principal amount
as well as the interest!
