Hey, who moved my bucket?

I was first in line.

Who moved my bucket?

No one is answering, eh?

- What are you doing?
Taking my water.

- But it's mine.
- Forget it. I'm in a hurry.

- You're being pretty aggressive.
Yes I am.

Give my water back, or else...

- Or else, what?
- I have a bad temper.



- As do I.
- I'll hit you hard.

- I'll hit you harder.
Oh really?

What a scrawny wrestler!

What happened?
Weren't you going to hit him?

What if he'd have died
at my hands? To install Forget it.

But who is he?

He's a cook
for the new person...

who's come to stay
in Mr. Pandey's house.

Oh, so he's a cook.

By blowing on the gas fire,
my eyes have become blurred.

Mrs. Turmeric is tough like a wife
and fiery mother-in-law is the chilli



Tell me, oh my saddened heart...

how long will I be stuck
with house chores and kitchen jobs?

But not all days are the same.
This will change for sure

Don't be gloomy

One day my destiny will brighten

Seeing it, the
world will become jealous

One day my destiny will brighten

My brother is well educated

He'll soon end my bad days

The bad days of eating
these dried leaves

To hell with these leaves!

Stale bread and pickles
on my plate

When will I be rid of these?

When will the days
of poverty end?

When will I get hot and
fresh food so delicious?

Seeing it,
the world will become envious

One day my destiny will brighten

One day I'll even
have a watchman

He'll keep watch
and guard my home

I'll speak English and be a boss

I'll dump the house job,
and start a posh restaurant

Every day I'll celebrate
my move up with a bang

Seeing it,
the world will become envious

One day my destiny will brighten

Madhav, why are you being noisy?

If you want to sing peacefully...

why the need
to drop things while singing.

What's this?

- Madhav!
- Yes, brother?

What's that funny thing
on your head? Take it off.

Look. Mice ate my coat.

Very good!
They've uncovered the real you.

You buy cheap pants and coats,
easily eaten by mice.

Give me another coat.

Brother, did you get the job...

or are you still just
going around in this coat?

You should know why
I need to wear this coat.

Nowadays it's difficult to find
a job wearing ordinary clothes.

Won't you have breakfast?

- I'll eat later. You do something
about those mice. Okay.

[ __ ]! Where did that cat disappear?

Where is she? To install [ __ ].

Brother, did you see
my cat? Cat!

Cigars? What nonsense!

Who tied you up?
Tell me. I'll tie him up.

- Who tied you up? Tell me.
- I did it.

How cruel!
What if it had died?

Let it die. Every day it drinks
all the milk in my house.

Why should I care?

You already mix
water in the milk...

so what's wrong
if my cat drinks some milk?

Mixed water? What did
you say? Say it again.

Isn't it obvious?
Milkmaids do mix water in milk.

How dare you call me a milkmaid.

- Who calls you milkmaid?
- The officer next door's cook.

- That Brahmin chef?
Yes.

That cook, is it?
Come with me.

Where'd he go? I'll break
his head with this spade.

Pandit, don't you dare
steal my pawn. I'll be back.

Come with me. Let's go.
Milkmaids, it is.

You stupid cook!

You drink the milk,
drink it every day.

But if the mice chew brother's coat...

Hey, you the slave of cookeries!
Come out!

You idiotic Brahmin! Talks nonsense.

Today I'll smash your head.

Wait, you! I'll thrash you today.

- I'll kill you!
- I'll burn you!

- You'll burn me, will you?
Yes.

- What did you call my daughter?
- What?

- What did you say?
- What?

- What did you say to her?
- What?

- You called her a milkmaid!
- What do you call a girl selling milk?

Queen instead of milkmaid?

Think you're so smart?

See this?
It's a holy thread of Brahmin.

By selling milk, a Brahmin
doesn't become a milkmaid.

My name is Maheshwar.
Do you know?

- I didn't know that.
- Now you know.

Yes.
Then be careful.

Yes.
Let's go.

Dad, you were going
to smash his head, right? To install

Forget it. Why waste time
with this gas fire blower.

Don't you dare call me
a gas fire blower, okay?

I'll show no mercy.

Then should I call that person
a governor, who's only a cook?

Officer! Who's the officer?
He is my elder brother.

- Really?
Yes.

- I didn't know that.
- Now you know.

Yes. Then leave.
Okay, we're going.

And tell your daughter don't tie
up my cat or she'll die.

Let her die. Who cares?

- L... - You keep quiet.
- Why should I?

His cat drinks the milk.

Shut up! He seems
to be a gentleman.

What a gentleman.
I understand people well.

Do you understand?

- Listen you cook.
- Don't call me a cook.

- I don't know your name.
- My name is Madhav.

Very nice name.

So, brother Madhav,
why do you keep a pet cat?

So she drinks milk
from our house?

Not to drink milk
but to catch mice.

Did you hear, Kamla?
It's for catching mice.

Brother Madhav, it's about mice, right?

- Then come with me.
- I don't have time now.

- I have to cook vegetables.
Kamla will do that.

- Kamla, you cook the vegetables.
- I won't.

- Just do it. Come with me.
Listen to me.

So brother Madhav,
here the mice are so big.

Listen to me.

They can't be trapped...

and our cat runs away
on seeing them.

They've dug up the whole house.

And if they're seen at night,
even humans can fall prey to them.

- Really?
Yes. Come I'll show you.

Your cat just drinks milk...

but these mice eat anything.

Now what can I say?

All Kamla's clothes
are ruined by mice.

- Really?
See for yourself.

Kamala! Open your bag and
show your clothes to Madhav.

I'll do no such thing.

This girl is very short tempered.

To tell the truth,
I'm short tempered, too.

My anger too is very bad.
Didn't you see?

It's Brahmin's anger
that rises quickly and calms instantly.

- Do you like to play?
Yes.

Then sit here, let's play.

Why is this queen here?

Pandit, you have definitely
stolen my pawn.

Tell the truth.
No. I don't lie.

- You're too much.
Okay, give me the hookah.

Pandey, let's play.

Okay, set up the board.

Let's start again.

You're still here?
The interviews are over already.

I wanted to ask for feedback.

- You'll receive feedback in two days.
- Any hope for me?

Your chances are good...

because you're well educated.

What salary do you expect?

Not much,
only 40-50 rupees a month.

- The job pays 75 rupees a month.
- Really?

- Will you have tea?
- No, I'll go home to eat.

Oh, so you're hungry?

- Should I get something for you here?
No, my brother's waiting for me.

- He won't eat without me.
Okay.

Return in two days.

- What was the salary you said?
75 rupees.

Okay.

Madhav! To install Make it fast.
I'll set the table.

I'm so hungry.

You? Where did Madhav go?
I told him...

Where's Madhav?

He is playing chess with my father.

Idiot! Madhav!

Pandit, now make your move.

You thought you could corner me.

Now save yourself.

You've trapped me.

Indeed! You were playing
your knight, weren't you?

Now go ahead.
Give me the hookah.

Make your move, Pandit.

Come on, move.

Madhav!

Oh, everyone keeps calling Madhav.

The game is interrupted.
But you stay here, Pandit.

I'll be back.
But don't steal any pawns, okay?

- Watch him.
- He won't touch a thing.

- Oh, here's your hookah.
Give me.

I am coming!

Come on, hurry up.
Bring the food.

Couldn't you have come later?
Why did you return early?

What early? Don't you know
the time? It's 3PM.

3PM?

I haven't cooked anything yet, brother.

You've cooked nothing?

Just wait.
I'll cook something right away.

I know.

Wow! Everything is all ready.

Who prepared it?

That girl. She's too good.

And is also attractive, right?

Yes.

- Did you see her, brother?
- Yes, of course.

She sewed up my coat.

Really? She's a very good girl.
Did you like her?

- Yes, I did.
- Good.

Listen.

Why was a milkman's daughter
cooking for us?

He's not a milkman, but a Brahmin.

One doesn't become a milkman
just by selling milk.

What kind of literate are you?

Good that she's a Brahmin,
but why was she here?

That Mahesh Pandey forcefully...

What?

Sent her here.

My feet! Now I get it.

You've got it wrong.

- If that girl comes here again,
I'll smack you. - Okay, fine

Aren't you ashamed?
I'll keep the door closed.

I'll do it.
You eat your food.

Take this. Give it.

Always scolding me.

Dad, please give this salt
to them quickly.

Salt. What a good idea!

Dad, I forgot to put salt
in the vegetables.

Good my dear.
Now never add salt to vegetables.

Pandit, don't move the pawn. To install

Go ahead.
Why are you standing here?

It's useless talking to you.

Wearing the holy thread
and still you have shoes on..

Officers eat their food this way.

What happened brother?

No salt.

Oh yes.
She forgot to add salt.

Eat the vegetables.

Eat the vegetables.

No salt in this either?
Get salt.

It's 3PM and I'm still hungry.

Brother. Salt... - What?
We're out of salt?

I'll give you the curry
without salt or vegetables.

Oh no!

Brother, what did you do?

You threw curry on her!
Tell her you did it.

Why me?

- Tell her you're sorry. Go.
- Why should I say sorry?

Sorry curry slipped out of my hand.

No problem.
I brought salt for you.

Salt?

Good. Please don't mind.

- Has she gone? Yes.
Give it. Here.

What kind of man are you, brother?
She came here to bring salt...

and you ruined
her clothes with curry.

Mistakes happen.
Hunger makes a man go crazy.

Go crazy? My feet!

Since she's a good girl,
she didn't say anything.

- What's her name?
Kamla.

Kamla.
And he's Mahesh Pandey.

That milkman.

- He's not a milkman.
Okay, he's a Brahmin.

He belongs to our caste.

The food is good.

You like it?

Yes. Eat some, brother.

May I say something, brother? To install

Go ahead.

It's becoming difficult for me
to manage the kitchen.

Then?

Therefore, I'm saying that
to manage the house...

a woman is needed.

So, what can I do?

You get married to that girl.

Okay! So you're speaking
of my marriage?

So you won't have to cook
and do housework.

You broke idiot!

You want your elder brother
to get married.

- So you won't marry?
No.

- No lady will come into
this house? No.

Will I manage your kitchen
for my entire life?

What else can you do? You're uneducated
and have always played Tip-cat.

- I understand.
- What?

Mother handed me to you
for cooking and cleaning.

You're not my brother,
but my enemy.

I'm your enemy?

You're crying again? To install

I'm not crying.
Something got in my eye.

Look at me. Are you angry?

- Come on, smile.
- How can I?

Come on, smile.

Who are you cursing?

Something got burnt.
Let it burn.

- The rice was burnt.
Let it burn.

Don't you teach me.
I'm a great chef.

An excellent cook. Got it?

Oh my gosh!
My hand is burnt.

What happened? You're a great chef,
but you burnt your hand.

- My hand is burnt, not yours.
Let me see.

Let me apply this. You'll
feel better. No need.

- Do you have any scrap cloth?
No.

Oh god! What now?
Who'll make the meals?

Oh! You tore my Dhoti!
Now what will I wear?

Tell your officer brother
to buy you a new dhoti.

Show your hand.

What kind of girl are you? To install
Forget it. I'll do it.

If someone sees us like this
and says anything, it'll make trouble.

I can't tolerate anyone's comments.

Please leave.

I can't even wrap this bandage properly.

A gas fire blower
won't be able to do it.

Give it here.
I'll tie the bandage.

- I told brother many times.
- Told him what?

To marry you.

- Damn!
- What the hell?

My brother isn't an ordinary man.

He's well educated.

Marry him and then you'll understand.

Madhav!

Oh no.

- To whom were you speaking?
- No one.

Again this girl is here.
I'll...

Don't talk to me like that. brothers.

Wait.

Who are you angry with?

- What happened? You burnt your hand?
- Good it got burnt.

Show me. How did it happen?
I dropped the pot.

No need to do kitchen work.
I'll hire a lady to cook.

I'll get that girl
married to you. Okay?

To me? I got it.
I'm stressed enough...

and you're not my brother
but my enemy.

Am I your enemy?
Yes.

Okay. Then I'll move out
and live alone.

Who will I care for?
I have the job now.

- Really? You got the job, brother?
Yes.

You got the job, brother?

Let's go. - Not at all.
How can I leave you now?

I'll get you married first.

If you don't marry,
I'll leave this house.

You don't have to go anywhere,
I'll get married, okay?

- To that girl?
Yes.

- Where are you going?
- To give them the god news.

Wait.
Pandey!

Pandey!

Come in.
Pandey!

- Sit down.
- What? sit?

Pandit, move this. Come on.

Always playing chess.
Give me that hookah.

Now listen to me.
Speak.

By the grace of God,
your daughter has come of age.

- What?
- Don't you want her to marry?

Marriage?
Yes, marriage.

My daughter was
too honest with you...

- and now you're thinking
of marrying her? See.

I'll thrash her.

Pandit!
Kamla!

Pandit! What did I say?
Kamla!

This milkman is brain dead.

- Again you called me milkman.
- What else should I call you then?

I'm not marrying her.
But I've chosen a man for her.

- Man?
Yes.

- Really?
Yes.

He's a college graduate,
has a good job and income.

And he's very good looking.

- His name?
- You tell me who he is.

- Your elder brother.
Absolutely right.

He must be joking with you.

Pandey, making jokes is the habit
in your family, not mine.

Do you understand?

Tell me, are you able
to pay for the marriage?

My income is hand to mouth.
What can I pay for?

Did you see, Pandit?
He must have made lots of money...

by adding water to milk and
now is afraid to spend money.

Pandit, get the horoscope.

Today we'll arrange the date.

- Today!
Yes.

Sure. Let's not delay.
Yes.

Look for an auspicious day.

3 plus 7 totals 10
and adds 10.20.

Look Pandit, if Pandey doesn't
have money to spend...

then the expenditures must
be limited, right?

What's the cost of flowers?

- Four paise.
- What?

- Four paise.
- Four paise.

For that amount
I can buy enough flowers...

for the funerals of you both.

- Get flowers for two paise.
Two paise? Yes.

- Write it down.
- Two paise.

Okay. What about food?

We already wrote that.
1kg. flour and 250gms. butter.

You, I, Pandey and
the bride and groom will eat.

I won't invite anyone else.
Can't you see Pandey's condition.

But shouldn't relatives and
close friends be invited?

Pandit, you're becoming too demanding.
You won't be able to help us.

Come on. You get up.
Find another priest. To install

Hold on.

Pandit, tell me,
what's the total amount?

The total is one twenty seven rupees
and fifteen paisa.

Wait. - Pandey, tell me
how much you have.

My total savings are
about a hundred rupees.

That's enough.
Everything will be managed.

I'll go and buy new clothes...

and Pandit, your fee
will only be twenty five paisa.

- Now, don't negotiate.
Hold on. Give him a little more.

Okay. Thirty paise, not more than this.

The way you're demanding,
I'm afraid of being robbed.

Give the money, Pandit.

Right now I have only
this ten rupees. Take this.

Only ten rupees?
Don't worry, I'll get new clothes.

Don't worry, Pandey.

With fair looks, I'm the blooming youth
and as delicate as a flower

Don't throw a sideways glance
at me, my dear

With fair looks...

I don't know coquetry.
I'm the queen of the streets

Don't narrate a story of love
to me my friend

My heart is naive.
I'm the blooming youth...

and as delicate as a flower

Don't throw a sideways glance
at me, my dear

On me, my dear

With fair looks...

I don't ask for a bed of roses
or a carpet of flowers

Don't try and lure me
with the glitter of golden towers

My beauty is my treasure.
I'm the blooming youth

And as delicate as a flower

Don't throw a sideways glance
at me, my dear

Dear

With fair looks...

You play the music very well.

- Champa, your dance is so good.
Yes.

Tomorrow, can you
come dance for me?

- And can you play wedding music?
Why not. - So, it's settled.

- But where? Whos getting married?
- My elder brother.

But to whom?

To Mahesh Pandey's daughter,
Kamla, the milkmaid.

Okay.

No. I can't call her 'milkmaid'.

She'll soon be my sister-in-law.

- Will we get to eat?
Definitely.

- Then I'll be coming too.
- We'll all come.

Okay, you all can come.
Eat well, dance well and sing well.

It's my brother's marriage.

Did you see, Pandey?
What a grand celebration it'll be.

Why are you upset? What happened?

Nothing.

You said 1kg flour and 250gms butter
would be more than enough.

Now you've invited the whole town.
Who'll feed them?

You. It's your daughter's marriage, right?

Don't laugh. I'm very upset.

Then should I cry
at my elder brother's marriage?

You cry. If you didn't
have enough money...

- then where did this come from?
- I borrowed it.

- Then repay it.
- Where will I get the money?

By mixing water in your milk.
Aren't you a milkman?

Don't call me milkman
or I'll cancel this marriage.

You can't stop the marriage.

This isn't funny.

Pandey, the music has started.
You manage it. I'm leaving.

It's my brother's marriage

The cheerfulness of a house
is from the housewife

Two wheels are needed
to drag the cart of life

The cheerfulness of a house
is from the housewife

I saw a bachelor's house.
It was so sorrowful

Every corner of the house
was wishing for a beautiful lady

Everything in the house
seemed to be mystified

The cheerfulness of a house
is from the housewife

Two wheels are needed
to drag the cart of life

Marriage holds many virtues.
It turns around a ruined life

The one who gets married
always gains a glow

Along with the bride,
her family is also added in

The cheerfulness of a house
is from the housewife

Two wheels are needed
to drag the cart of life

Today I proclaim
from the peak of Himalayas...

marriage is must.
No one should remain a bachelor

No one should remain a bachelor

Find a wife for yourselves

No matter if she's fair or dark

The cheerfulness of a house
is from the housewife

Two wheels are needed
to drag the cart of life

Come on, Pandit.

- What a move!
Yes!

Madhav, I lost.

Try again, Pandit.
Now I'm totally free.

It's not so easy
to be free, Madhav.

Why not? Now I'll go
wherever I wish.

Brother has gotten married.
His wife will manage the house.

Let the couple do
whatever they like.

I'll keep visiting them.

Are you planning
to go somewhere, Madhav?

Of course. Won't I
do something with my life?

Then why don't you come
with me to Dhanbad?

Dhanbad?
Yes.

My younger brother works there
in a coal mine.

- Really?
- I'm even thinking of settling there.

Teaching doesn't work here.

Pandit, can you get me
some job there?

And I'm smart, aren't I?

Sure. You'll definitely
get some job there.

- So, you're coming with me, right?
Why not?

Of course I will,
if I'm getting a job.

I'm strong enough to work hard.
Don't you agree, Pandit??

Sure. - Very sure?
Absolutely sure!

- Then when shall we leave?
The day after tomorrow.

Okay.

Who's pbeating the drum?

Take a look.

Pay attention, people of the town.
Listen to the company!

Chicken pox is spreading
rapidly in the town.

Therefore, every person in the town
is being ordered...

to get vaccinated and save yourself
from this dreaded disease!

Chicken pox!

Pandit, chicken pox
is spreading in the city.

This is very serious
and scary, Madhav.

Shouldn't we get vaccinated?
Definitely.

I'll get back to you soon.

Sister-in-law! Did you hear?
Chicken pox is spreading in the city.

- You should get vaccinated.
- What will a vaccination do?

Then, have you decided to die?

Won't that be good?
He'll be lucky if I die.

Then your brother can remarry?

Don't talk nonsense.
Get vaccinated immediately.

You get vaccinated.

- So, you're not coming?
No.

- Even if I insist?
- No!

It's not recommended
to get vaccinated in this condition.

What condition! One must
get vaccinated against chicken pox.

You're so naive. You understand nothing.

What?

Ask your brother.

Why ask him?
Come on, sister-in-law.

I won't come.

Oh god! Pundit is right.
Not only men...

but even God surrenders before woman.

Pandey!
Yes?

There's a chicken pox outbreak
in the city. All are getting vaccinated.

Did you also get vaccinated?

At this old age,
what's the use of getting vaccinated?

You want to die,
but why is your daughter refusing?

What kind of man are you?

Is she in any condition
to get vaccinated?

- What happened?
- Don't you know? No.

She's expecting.

What!

You're going to become an uncle.

- Really?
- Why would I lie?

- Really? I'm going to become
an uncle? Yes.

I'm going to become an uncle!

I'm going to become uncle!

Sister-in-law!

What happened?

- I've heard something.
- What?

- It's the happiest thing.
Tell me then.

- Should I?
Yes. - Should I?

- I won't say.
Tell me please.

No.
Okay then, forget it.

- I'll leave.
Tell me please.

- Should I?
Yes.

- You...
- What?

You...

- You're expecting.
Shut up!

Madhav! It's time to leave.
Are you ready?

Pandit!

I'm ready but brother
won't let me go.

- Why?
- You don't know...

but he can't live without me
even for a moment.

I need to manage everything, right?

Still, ask him for permission once.

Okay, if you insist.
But I know he won't let me go.

See.

- What is it, Madhav?
Nothing.

Tell me.

Pandit and his brother are here.

Why, what happened?

They want to take me to Dhanbad.

Really?

They say they'll get me a job.

You'll work?

Yes. - And you want
to go with them? Yes.

Okay. Then go.

May I go, brother?

Yes. It's the matter
of a job. You may go.

But won't you find it
difficult without me?

Yes, maybe for 3 or 4 days.

After that it'll be okay.
To install Go ahead.

Shall I?

Go.

Should I really go, brother?

I said it, go!

I'm leaving!
What will I do staying here?

Will I stay here for a lifetime?

Where are you going,
brother-in-law?

Dhanbad, along with Pandit.
Why?

For a job. What will
I do here, sitting idle?

Don't worry, sister-in-law.
I'll notify you when I get the job.

But are you really going away?

Of course. My enemy!

He didn't even try and stop me.

Then how can I not go? To install

Forget it. I tell
you truly, sister-in-law.

He's not my brother,
but my enemy.

Brother-in-law is going.
Why didn't you stop him?

Why should I?
I'm his enemy, right?

What are you saying?

- Pandey - I know he
won't leave me, Kamla.

- He'll come back.
Let's see when we meet again.

The place where I'm going,
I'll be happy there.

Somebody or other
will cremate me if I die.

Pandey, how long will you sleep?

You're still sleeping?
Come on, wake up. Pandey!

- I can't, brother.
Pandey! To install

chicken pox.

Chicken pox!

Pandit, I won't come with you.

How can I leave Pandey
in his condition?

Okay Madhav, it's time for our train.
We can't wait any more.

Okay, you leave.

Oh god!

Get some water, Madhav.

Water? Okay I'll get it.

Dad!
Stop, sister in law.

Pandey caught chicken pox.
You might get infected, too.

- How will it matter to you
if I die? - it won't.

But who can change what faith
has in store for us?

- Drink water and die.
- No! Brother-in-law, what are you saying?

I'm right. I'm not talking
to you but your father.

- You have to leave.
Kamla, my child.

Pandey, don't get affectionate.
You're going to die.

Dad!
Please leave, sister-in-law.

I can't leave my father.

You must go. I can
take care of him myself..

- You go.
- Brother-in-law...

- Why are you being so insensitive?
- Yes, I'm insensitive.

But you have to leave.

Go.
Kamla.

Dad!

I told you to get vaccinated,
but you didn't listen to me.

Now die!

Madhav?

Pandey?

Now I won't stay alive.

You lived your life.
You fulfilled all your duties.

But you're still hoping for life?

Why wouldn't I?

What more do you expect?

- Kamla's son.
- That will happen.

My nephew will be born.
And I'll raise him.

There's no need of you, Pandey.

- Madhav...
- Now don't talk so much, Pandey.

You go.

I'm in too much pain.

- Shall we go to the hospital?
No brother.

Not to the hospital,
I don't want to die there.

Do you have any money?

Give it.
I'll get you pain medicine

I don't have any money.

Then what can I do, Pandey?

I can't do anything, Pandey.

I can't do anything, Pandey.

I can't do anything, Pandey.

My life is over, brother.

Save me, Madhav.

I did what I could.

Where will I get money
for your treatment?

Save me.

Brother, do you have
some money with you?

- What will you do with it?
Pandey's in serious pain.

I'll get some treatment for him.

Let me see.

Tell me if you don't have money,
though you have a good job.

No, I'm jobless.

You lost your job, brother?
You didn't tell me anything.

What was I supposed to say.
I've sat at home for so long.

But now, how will I save Pandey?

No. This cow is old.
I can't pay more than five rupees.

Only five rupees?
Give me two rupees more.

-It looks like you stole it.
Stolen?

Yes. Tell me if you want to sell.
Or take it somewhere else.

Ok fine. Give me the money. To install

Make it fast.

Here.

Dad!

Dad!

Brother.

He passed a few minutes ago.

Arrange for his funeral.
Do you have any money?

I couldn't arrange
money for his treatment...

but I have some for his cremation.

Cry! Cry even louder.

The girl's been crying
for milk since morning.

Her father can't be found.

I feel like leaving this house forever.
I can't tolerate any more.

Who are you cursing?

My destiny.

I tell you Champa, one day
I'll leave this house for sure.

- Will you?
Yes.

I don't like it either.
When will we leave. Tell me?

What?

I'll come with you.

Why would you come with me?

Because man needs a woman
to care for him.

What care?
I don't have any place to live.

- I might live under a tree.
- Then so will I.

You don't have to do anything.

I'll dance to earn our living.
We'll stay together.

What? Shall we stay together?

Yes. Come on.

I got it.

- What?
- That you've lost your mind.

No. Why don't you understand?

I must go with you.

I'm already stressed out and
you're troubling me even more.

I won't leave the house
in any case. Please go.

The baby's been crying since morning.
Her father will come.

He'll give me money
to get milk for the baby.

What? Why didn't you tell me?

Here.

Go get milk for the baby.

Champa, how can I
take money from you?

- Why not borrow from me?
- You wouldn't understand.?

Okay, give it here.
I hope no one sees.

Baby is too beautiful with
curly black hair so wonderful

Go away!

- Give us a gift.
- What gift?

- Because a girl was born.
- Oh, shut up. Go away.

- Brother's here.
- Are you out of your mind?

- You're fighting with women?
- They aren't women.

Sir, please get us the gift.

Oh, they're asking for money.

Brother, where did you get
so much money?

- Why do you ask?
- You got the job, right?

- Yes, I got the job.
- I'm glad you got the job

Listen, I was thinking
of leaving this area.

- Why, brother?
- Since it's a good job...

- We should live in a better area.
- That's true.

Do something.

Take this fifty rupees
and look for a better place.

2, 3, 4, 5...

You want milk? Sister-in-law,
it's time to feed baby.

- I'm coming.
- My baby will drink milk.

What place have
we come to? Oh no!

I get so tired
of climbing stairs.

This is nothing.

What happens once we move
to a bigger place?

- What did I say?
- What?

That brother will get new job.
He'll be promoted.

Hasn't that happened?

We've only moved from the hut
to this place, that's all. Give her.

That's the way it happens.
You won't understand.

Just watch. There'll be
a queue of servants for you.

Enjoy it and keep commanding
the servants.

I'll believe it when I see it.

It'll happen soon.

Mr. Shankar, come here.
I'm looking for you.

Khan, please don't follow me
for money. it doesn't look good.

I told you you could collect
your money after four days. Now go

You're lying.

I won't listen to you.

I need my money back.

You secretly changed your house
and didn't inform me.

Khan, you just lend me seventy five rupees.
Don't make noise.

- There'll be a problem if my
brother hears it. - So what?

What I can do?
But I need my money back.

- You'll get embarrassed.
- Go away.

Come in four days
and get your money.

- Why are you still here?
Please leave.

Great brother!
So this is your doing?

- Listen to me.
- You keep quiet.

Don't listen to him.

How can he get
money in four days?

- Listen to me. - He's lying.
- I know he's a liar...

- deceitful and a fraud.
Hey you, don't insult him.

I will. He's a fraud.

I warned you. Don't insult him.

What will you do? Hit me?

- Yes, I'll strike you.
- Go ahead.

- How dare you!
- I will. He's a fraud, deceitful!

You're a fraud!
You're deceitful! I'll smash you!

You! Get lost!

- You're dishonest!
- You're dishonest!

I'll show no mercy.

- I'll not spare you.
- I'll kill you.

Brother, leave me. He's insulting you.

People are watching.

Are you out
of your mind? I'll slap you?

- Why did you fight with him?
- I did the right thing. Shut up!

I owe him a lot of money.

Very good. Borrow more from him.

When he hits you,
I'll be very pleased.

Why'd you lie to me, brother?

What else could I do?

Having no luck finding a job,
I had to borrow.

- I have to feed wife and daughter.
- So what?

Listen. You forced me
to get married.

Okay, now forget it.

I told you I didn't
want to marry yet.

The staff at your office
are jealous of you.

- Why?
- Because you passed your M.A..

They can't speak English
as well as you.

Don't worry brother.
Everything will be alright.

How will everything become alright?

Brother?

- What?
- You became sad.

- Then what can I do?
Smile.

- How can I?
Come on, smile.

Come on, smile.

- Don't tickle me.
Smile.

Put me down.
Smile.

- Who is it?
That Pathan. L...

- Okay. I got it. Hariram?
Yes?

There's no need to call Hariram.
I'll go.

Then go upstairs.

- Upstairs?
- Yes, dad's upstairs.

- Father, upstairs.
- Take sir upstairs.

Come with me. Boss is upstairs.

I want...

Oh! Your dad is upstairs?
Let's go.

Dad is upstairs, I'll meet him.

Come with me.

Your stairs are unusual.
I didn't notice.

- Boss!
- Who is it? To install

Hariram.

Hariram I've told you a hundred times
to call me before entering my room.

- Who is he?
- I'm...

I got it. Come in.

Placing an ad in the newspaper
also gets troublesome.

All morning candidates have been coming
to be interviewed

Sit down.

Hariram!
Yes?

How many times I have told you
to stand beside me...

when any outsider comes.

- Yes, I'm standing here.
- Yes, then stay there.

What's your name?

Shankar Mishra.

Shankar Mishra.

You're a Brahmin. me too.

My father was a very famous man.

Rai Bahadur Deep Narayan.
You must've heard his name.

Where will I find your name
among so many papers?

I'll write down your name.

Shankar Mishra.

What's your address?

Residential address?

Yes. The residential address
is very important.

It's no ordinary job.
It's the position of manager.

Manager!

Didn't you read it
in the newspaper?

Yes, I read it.
Write down the address.

#5, Kela Bagan Lane.

#5, Kela Bagan Lane.

Okay. Now listen.
My responsibility is for Purandar.

I need a smart manager
to take care of it.

He should be a very strong man.

- Will you be able to do it?
- Yes of course. Why not?

Will you be able
to commit bloodshed?

- Bloodshed?
Yes.

You can use anything like a stick,
rod, gun to get the work done.

Yes. I'll be able to do it.

- Will you be able
to burn down houses? Why not?

You seem to be very capable.

You're a young blood. Your salary
will be 150 rupees per month.

One fifty?

Okay, I'll pay two hundred.

- Two hundred?
Okay.

No more than 250.

Okay. I'll take it.

Now listen.

A gangster named Batuk Choubey
is in the village.

You must teach him a lesson.
You have to...

hit him with hunter
in front of me.

Will you be able to do it?

Without any reason?

Without reason?
Have you ever seen the village?

- Yes I have.
- Only in movies or books?

I've been there.

Then you must've also
seen men like Batuk.

He looks like a very ordinary man
but is nasty at heart.

Because of him, it's become difficult
to live in the village.

There I have my own house
in my own village...

and I can't stay there?

You know what he says?

That he'll get his son
married to my only daughter...

and will seize all my property.

- Really?
- Yes, really.

Hariram, come here.

No, Hariram can't come right now.

I was saying you'll have
to do many such things.

- I'll do it.
- You must not be afraid.

I'm afraid of nobody.

Good.

A man from Kabul
is waiting downstairs.

Man from Kabul? Turn him away.

Hariram, turn him away.

Yes, throw him out,
I'm afraid of no one.

I can burn houses, I can kill,
I can do everything.

- Take down my name and address.
- I did that already.

Do it again.

My name is Shankar Mishra,
No. 5, Kela Bagan lane.

What are you doing here?

A man has entered.
I'm waiting for him.

- What is it?
I want to meet that man.

Look, now he won't come downstairs.

Go to his house
and wait for him there.

No, I'll wait here,
I'll see him today.

Hey Khan, go away.

- Don't stand at our door.
- Okay...

this is your door,
but over there it's not.

- I'll stand there.
Okay, go.

- So it's decided you're coming
with me. - Yes, sure.

Mala! This is my daughter Mala.

Mala, I've hired this man.

He can smash, he can kill as well.

He'll get control of Batuk
within two days.

Yes. Within two days
I'll teach Choubey a lesson.

Absolutely correct.

Come tomorrow to learn
when we're leaving.

Okay. Greetings.

Wow! What a man!

Greetings.

After a long time
we finally have the right man.

What are you doing, dad?

You said the same thing
to three different people.

- And you asked them all
to come tomorrow. - So what?

Is it necessary
to hire all three?

No need to hire them,
but what will you tell them...

- when they arrive?
- Yes...

what should I tell them?

- I don't know.
- You got angry! Listen to me.

- What?
Tomorrow when they come...

tell them we hired someone else.

We hired someone.

You tell them tomorrow
when they come. I'm leaving.

Look my child,
this is very problematic.

What a problem I've gotten myself
into. Now what shall I do?

- What can I do?
Yes. What can you do?

Do something. Call the man
who just left here.

What's his name? Yes. Mahadev!

Not Mahadev, dad.
His name is Shankar.

Oh yes! It's Shankar!
I wrote it in my diary.

Call Shankar, okay.

Shankar!

Shankar Mishra, No. 5,
Kela Bagan lane.

Are you still here?

I was just about to leave.

But you weren't able to go.

Why are you laughing?

You were saying
you're afraid of no one.

I'm not afraid of anyone.

But what about that Pathan?

I'm afraid of only him.

The thing is, I borrowed
some money from him.

You know how they are.

Oh.
Yes.

Listen.
Yes?

Dad is calling you upstairs.

Okay.

Didn't I say the stairs are unusual?

God knows who made them.

Listen!

- How much did he borrow
from you? Seventy-five rupees.

That's all? Okay wait here.
I'll get the money.

Let me go to my house
for once. No, no, no.

You might change your mind
after going home.

No, but it's important
to inform my family.

The servant can inform them.
It's just for a few days.

We'll be back soon.

Mala! Pack our luggage.

We'll leave for Purandarpur this evening.

Bholanath will also accompany us.

I'm talking to you, Bholanath.

- My name is Shankar.
- Oh yes, Shankar.

- I wrote it in my diary.
- He's gone.

- Go home now.
- Who's going where?

He's coming with us.

But dad, you said we were
going in 3 or 4 days.

No my child, not in
3 or 4 days, but today.

Otherwise the men coming tomorrow
will create problems.

Pack our bags and Mahadev
has also agreed to come.

- Right, Mahadev?
- My name is Bholanath.

- Bholanath?
- Means Shankar Mishra.

Oh yes! Shankar.
I wrote it in my book.

Shankar Mishra, No. 5,
Kela Bagan Lane.

- Brother-in-law? Yes?
- How long will you wait.

Let's eat.
After brother returns.

We'll all eat together.

Looks like he's home.
Scolded him.

What kind of man are you?

Oh! Brother-in-law!

Who are you?
How did you enter the house?

- I'm Hariram.
Who is Hariram? To install

Hariram. You're Mr. Madhav, right?

Mr. Madhav

Take this letter from sir
and these fifty rupees.

Fifty rupees? From whom?

The one who looks like an officer.
What's his name?

- M.A. pass Shankar sir?
Yes.

Sister-in-law, it looks like he's
borrowed money from someone again.

No, not borrowed. My madam
gave him the money.

Ma'am?

- Which madam?
- My madam. Read it.

Oh yes.

What's written here?

What a bad handwriting,
I can't read a word.

Sister-in-law, you read it.
Brother-in-law, I can't read.

Oh yes! I got it.

I'll go and check.
Let's go, brother.

Brother-in-law? Yes?
Be sure to meet that madam.

- I don't feel good about this.
Okay.

Come on. Let's meet your madam.

- She's my madam.
- Are you the madam?

You don't know me but I'm
here to learn who you are.

Why did you send that letter
and fifty rupees?

Mr. Shankar!
Brother!

- Brother. - Idiot.
- What's wrong?

I've got such a good job
and you're here to ruin everything.

- Job! Shut up!
- You come here in those clothes?

Brother!
Shut up!

- Did you get the money?
Yes.

- The letter? Yes.
Shut up!

I'll be back in a few days.

Shut up! You're crazy.

- Who is he?
- A lunatic from my neighborhood.

He calls me brother.
Go back!

Don't worry about it.
Let's go.

Almighty, I've come to you
after a long time.

This time please answer my prayers...

and destroy my enemy Batuk.

Because of him
I had to leave my village.

That's my only request to you.

- How are you, Mr. Avinash?
- Fine.

Batuk. To install

He's Batuk.

So you're Mr. Batuk Choubey?

Yes, I'm Batuk Choubey.

But Mr. Avinash, who is
this sturdy youth with you?

- He's my manager.
Manager. Yes.

I thought you must be
his son-in-law.

I mean Mr. Avinash doesn't need
a manager, but a son-in-law.

I've been calling you for many days.
Why didn't you come?

It's festival season
and there are village fairs.

- I don't want any excuses.
You seem short tempered.

Yes. Come to our place
tomorrow morning.

- Morning?
- 9 A.M.

- 9AM?
- Yes, I hope you remember.

Yes absolutely.

You're Mr. Avinash's new manager.
How can I forget your order?

I'll definitely be there.

But, I say, if you were
a son-in-law of Mr. Avinash...

- Okay, bye.
Good bye.

Fool! Idiot!

Dad!
Come here.

- Dad, he's inside.
Oh God, please fulfill my wish.

You!

You finally noticed me.

Actually I was making some calculations.

Why do you always keep working?
Let's go out.

- But I have a lot to do.
- Not now, though. Come on.

Tell me.

From my bedroom
I can see you working.

So, do you watch me?

No.

I keep working and you
keep watching me at night.

Don't you get sleepy?

Why?

Some questions don't have any answers.

We may find the answer
while convincing ourselves.

What are you thinking?

I don't understand what you say.

Do you really not understand?

I wish I could express
my feelings for you.

Why don't you try
to understand me?

You mean to say you're
in love with me? Really?

If you ask this question to
my heart, it won't lie to you.

Also, the sleepless nights
I spend thinking of you...

will tell you the truth.

But it's not possible, Mala.

Why Shankar?

Why not?
Mala.

Mala, you don't know I'm married
and I have a daughter.

It's impossible, Mala.

I didn't know that.

Forgive me Shankar.

Oh you stars in the sky,
don't sneer at me

I have made a mistake,
please don't taunt me

The one for whom I wished
has turned away from me

My heart is broken
and everything seems lost for me

, what sadness I feel

I have made a mistake.
Please don't taunt me

Oh you stars in the sky,
don't sneer at me

I've made a mistake.
Please don't taunt me

Oh you stars in the sky...

You know what my heart holds

Speaking to my heart
was the only mistake I made

Console me, you mates
of my sleepless nights

have made a mistake.
Please don't taunt me

Oh you stars in the sky,
don't sneer at me

I've made a mistake.
Please don't taunt me

Oh you stars in the sky...

Forget it. I'll tie it.

Why get angry at me?

I am not literate enough
to write down the address.

Every day I go and check
but the door is always locked

No servants even.
Be careful!

It'll break. You might fall down.

A woman doesn't die so easily.

At least you should've asked
for your brother's address.

All the money's been spent.
How can I run the house?

How can I explain to him?
If you look at him...

he answers, why are you here?
Go away.

He acts all crazy
in front of that lady.

Which lady?

That madam he works for.

Brother-in-law, is she very beautiful?

Yes she is,
but not more than you.

Sister-in-law!

Sister-in-law!

He didn't come, right?
I knew he wouldn't come.

He is a big scallywag.
Did you realise, Buddhuram?

No, it's Shankar.

Oh yes! Shankar Mishra.
It's written in my diary.

If he comes,
haul him over the coals.

Hit him hard with hunter.
Will you be able to do it?

- Definitely.
- Good. Then I'll be happy.

Okay, now I'll go to the
other room. He might be coming.

Got it?

Awaiting him is useless.

Batuk won't come today.

- If he doesn't come,
I'll go to his house. - Alone?

- What's there to be afraid of?
- You don't know him.

He's a very dangerous man.

And I'm no less dangerous.

Listen.

If you want to go,
then take servants with you.

What's the need?
Getting scared won't help me.

- I have to do my duty.
- What if something happens to you?

If I've taken the responsibility,
then I have to accomplish it.

- Don't go, Shankar.
Please don't stop me.

No, I won't let you go.

- But why are you doing this?
- Promise me...

you won't go anywhere
without telling me.

Greetings, Mr. Manager!

Wow! Great! That's okay.

Why are you late?

Late? I think I came early.

You were supposed to come
at 9AM but now it's 12PM.

Is it? Mr. Manager,
here no one follows the clock.

- This is a village.
- If it was the city...

I'd have been on time. To install

Forget it. Now tell me
why you've called me?

I will, but first tell me why you're
harassing Mr. To install Avinash.

Do you know, he's scared
of living in the village?

Yes. I know that very well.

But you only came here
just four days ago, son-in-law.

- Again you called me
son-in-law! To install Calm down.

I didn't come here to be
threatened by you.

If you want to threaten me
then call your people.

- Or should I call them?
- I don't want any lectures.

I just want you
to answer my questions.

Why did you create disputes
over land and property?

I'm not the only one involved.

The father of your boss Avinash,
Mr. Rai Bahadur Deep Narayan...

stole all my land
when I was very young.

When I grew up,
I saw that your boss Avinash...

was controlling all
the property and land...

with nothing left for me.

Therefore to get back my land,
I started this dispute.

And therefore you started
harassing the landlords?

- Why didn't you go to court?
- Because it's expensive and time consuming.

But if it's required, I will
definitely take this step as well.

Therefore, I've educated
my son to be a lawyer.

This situation would never have arisen...

if Avinash had married
his daughter to my son.

There'd have been no dispute.

When it didn't happen...

You chose violence.

- I wish I could...
- Will you hit me?

I'll smash you.

You're being childish.
Gone are the days...

when one could prove his dominance
on land with the help of hunter.

You won't be able
to do anything.

If you continue with your flirting,
you may find success in that.

Shut up!

I know very well how
to handle goons like you.

Get out of here! lmmediately!

Okay. I'm going.
I'm not here to stay.

But what you did wasn't good,
son-in-law.

Rascal!

What have you done!
You shouldn't have insulted him.

Then was I supposed
to tolerate his nonsense?

One doesn't need a manager
to intimidate.

That can be done
by any peon or watchman.

Then tell me
what I should have done.

If I knew what to do
then I'd have become a manager.

Why were you required?

Mr. Shankar, you don't know
how dangerous Batuk is.

Therefore I didn't confront him.

But you were wonderful.

- What are you saying, dad?
- I'm right.

Today I'm so happy
you can't even imagine.

I've raised your salary
to three hundred rupees per month.

Come on. You come with me.

Doctor, will my sister-in-law recover?

God knows whether she'll recover...

but did you get the injection
I asked you to bring?

No. - Then without medicine
how can I help you?

- What's it cost?
Ten rupees. Go and get it.

Doctor, I don't have anything,

I don't know anything.
Please save my sister-in-law.

Then go and get the injection.
What can I do?

Doctor, you're like a God to us.

I pray that you please
save my sister-in-law.

- Are you mad or what?
I told you to get the injection.

Then I'll save her.
Now leave.

Make it fast brother.

Why have you brought this?

You can go to jail for
selling bronze as gold. Go.

Bronze?
Yes.

Now listen to what he wrote.

'Tonight we've arranged
a celebration at the temple.

Since you're the richest landlord
and our leader...

if you'll grace our celebration
with your presence...

we'll be grateful to you.

I hope you'll accept our request.

Yours sincerely, Batuk Choubey.

This is the result
of you threatening him once.

Let me convey this good news
to Lata. She'll be very happy.

- Who is Lata?
- My daughter.

- Her name's Mala, right?
- Oh yes, Mala.

It's written in my diary.

Okay, I'll go now.
You come with me.

Mr. Manager, Choubey sir
has specially invited you.

Why?

Since it's a party, there
will be dancing and singing.

No, no.

- And what?
- You should listen to it.

And what!

He warned me not to tell anyone.

What?

A song was written about you,
which will be sung.

Okay I'll attend. Go now.
Okay.

Glorious were the days...

when the shy women...

in front of strangers used to
put on the veil

Now the world is
being spoiled so that...

veils are called useless and ineffective

a mere manager

They were flirting
with each other openly...

as if the world was set on fire

She returned from the city
after being educated

She'll spoil the village's
culture and traditions

And she will walk tall
as a shameless lady

Small is her look
but big is her attitude

Odd are her gestures and manners...

as if the world was set on fire

The daughter of a rich father
has fallen for a mere manager

They were flirting
with each other openly...

as if the world was set on fire

Now listen to the story
of the manager

He looks just like a drifter

I see

Then what?

Where did he get the money
to dress well?

He must be sucking up the
wealth of his in-law's, I say

Every villager is amazed
by this farce

As if the world was set on fire

The daughter of a rich father
has fallen for a mere manager

They were flirting
with each other openly...

as if the world was set on fire

Will we tolerate such offenses
in our elegant village?

No. Never

Let's dishonor her father
by making him feel ashamed

Together we'll teach them a lesson

As if the world was set on fire

Shut up! Stop this nonsense!

- What is this, Mr. Choubey?
Nothing.

These villagers are entertaining
themselves by singing.

By humiliating someone in their songs?

We aren't humiliating anyone.

We're just expressing ourselves
about modern times.

- Shut up!
- Will you hit me?

A devil like you
must be thrashed hard.

Son-in-law, you don't even
know how to behave properly?

My men are all around.

If you'll become aggressive,
you'll be beaten.

How dare you!
Gun!

We'll see who gets beaten
Come with me.

Leave my dad.

- Move or you'll die.
Release him!

Move Ramdas.
I'll take care of it.

- Save your dad if you're brave.
Ramdas, you must go.

Now let's see who comes
to rescue you.

You rascal! I'll kill you.

- Leave him I say.
Let him go. Mala.

Mala, the gun is loaded.

Mala, move away.

Ramnath, my son!

Mala, let's get out of here.

Ramnath, my child!

- Ramnath, my child!
Brother!

- We're both going to Kolkata.
Kolkata?

Yes, Batuk might do anything.

Hariram, tell dad we've both
gone to Kolkata.

Kolkata?
Come on. Let's hurry up.

Go.

So, you're escaping?

I was just going up.

- Where's the criminal?
- What criminal?

I don't know anything.

- Where's your manager?
He left for Kolkata.

No, I don't know anything.

- What's his name?
- His name is Jagannath.

No sir.
His name is Shankar Mishra.

Oh yes! Shankar Mishra.
It's written in my diary.

He lives in No. 5,
Kela Bagan, Kolkata.

Shankar Mishra. He lives in
No. 5, Kela Bagan, Kolkata.

Yes. Okay. You come with me
to the police station.

- Police station? With you?
Yes.

Hariram! What are you staring at?

- Why don't you go with
the inspector? - I?

- But where are you going?
- I'm thirsty. I want some water.

You'll get water at the station.

- Really?
Yes. Come on.

- Hariram, come with me.
- You too.

- Brother-in-law!
- Yes, sister-in-law?

I'm not going to make it.

Don't say that.

Will you do something for me?

Tell me, sister-in-law.

I wish to see your brother
one last time. Bring him here.

I'll get him.

Brother-in-law!

Just this once, get him here.

I'll bring him from wherever
and however he is.

I'll bring him here.

Don't worry, Shankar.
I'll call the lawyer.

You sit here.

Since yesterday you haven't eaten anything.
I'll get something for you.

And don't go anywhere.
I'll be back.

Now, who'll come to rescue you?
You rascal, I'll kill you.

- Leave him I say.
Let him go. Mala.

Leave him.
Mala, the gun is loaded.

Mala, move away.

Run!

Brother!

Brother!

Madhav.

Brother!

- You're back, brother.
Now sister-in-law will survive.

- What happened?
- There's no time to explain.

Come with me.

Shankar!

Shankar!

Shankar!

Where's Shankar?

I don't know.

But you were calling
his name just now.

Yes. I was. But he's not here.

Sister-in-law!

Sister-in-law!

You go, brother. You go.

You go, brother.

Go away from here.

Now we don't need you.
Now I won't look for you.

Now I won't look for you.

Mr. Shankar! Please come out.

Sister-in-law!

- Are you Shankar Mishra?
Yes.

You're under arrest.
We have your arrest warrant.

Arrest him.

Please make it quick, inspector.

- My brother mustn't know about this.
Brother.

Where are you taking my brother?
What did you do?

Madhav, take care of her.

But what have you done?
Where are you taking him?

- He's been accused of murder.
Murder?

No. you couldn't murder anyone.

Brother!

Move aside, Madhav, let me go.

- Let's go, inspector.
Come on.

Brother!

But the girl is very smart.
She took all the blame herself.

Please let me go in.

- You aren't allowed entry.
- But it's my brother's case.

Children aren't allowed inside.

Where can I leave her?
Please allow me to go in.

Don't make noise.

With according to the statements
of the witnesses...

it is proved that Mr. Shankar Mishra
has murdered Ramnath.

Shankar has also admitted
his crime before the court.

Considering the guilt of the accused...

this court punishes him
with fifteen years imprisonment.

No! Fifteen years! Shankar!

Mala!

What happened sir?

Thanks goodness he wasn't
given the death penalty.

He's been punished
with imprisonment for fifteen years.

- Fifteen years?
Yes.

The convict has been taken outside,
if you want you can meet him.

Brother!

Madhav.
Brother!

Brother, what will I do with her?

Take care of her.

Brother!

It's good you've returned.

Take your belongings.

Where will I go
with her at night?

Let me stay tonight.

Pay me the four months rent.
Then I'll open the door. Simple. To install

Stop crying. It's time
for the wealthy to sleep

You have your entire life
to weep

Stop crying

Crying is like a song
for we deprived ones

Did you get it?

Don't waste your tears,
my dear child.

Now don't make noise.
Here come the police

Stop crying

Stop crying. It's time
for the wealthy to sleep

You have your entire life
to weep

Your mother is in heaven
and your father's in jail

What a destiny!

Your uncle is a loser

Are you listening?

Your fate has
nothing better in store

What a silent destiny
you've been given

Stop crying

Stop crying. It's time
for the wealthy to sleep

You have your entire life
to weep

If there's no milk,
be content sucking your thumb

By cooking your own blood,
satisfy your hunger

After all patience
is the most important thing

Stop crying

Stop crying. It's time
for the wealthy to sleep

You have your entire life
to weep

Our rights are not attained
by begging for them

To fight, we even have to snatch
our sword ourselves

Grab from the world what you want

Pleading won't get you
even a penny

Be brave enough
to get whatever you need

This parrot! This gun!
This is a paper watch...

and this is Radha standing
with Krishna on a peak

It's true that money is
more important than destiny

Stop crying

Stop crying. It's time
for the wealthy to sleep

You have your entire life to weep

Stop crying

It's 10AM but
Shankar's still not here.

He must be coming.

Once he comes, I'll give
your father's legacy to him.

Not today, Mr. Lawyer.
He might refuse it.

When he comes,
I'll explain everything to him.

As you wish.

But Mala, there's something
I don't understand.

Why did you come this far
to receive him?

I could have brought him to you.

You won't understand.

I've waited fifteen years
for this day.

Today I'll see him
for the first time.

Okay. Now I understood
why you haven't married.

He's here.

Mala!

Hariram! Your hair has turned white.

But I'm still alive, sir.

Mala, you haven't changed, you still
look the same as 15 years ago.

How is dad?

He passed away ten years ago.

Passed away? This is bad news.

This is Mr. Sharma.

- Mr. Sharma?
- How do you do?

It's good to know.
I didn't know this good news.

No, I'm going to give
good news to you.

You'll have to come
to Purandarpur with me.

- Purandarpur?
Yes. - But...

But didn't Madhav come
to meet me? He doesn't know...

We don't know where
Madhav and the child are.

What?

We searched for him
but never found him.

But he has
a little girl with him.

Little girl!
Now she must be grown up.

Yes. That's even more good news,
I should find her.

I'll leave now, okay?

I hope you'll return.
I'll wait for you

Okay. Bye.

Bye Mr. Sharma?

Ramesh sharma.

Ramesh sharma.

Let's go.

Does a man named Madhav
live here?

- Madhav?
- He lives with a niece of about 16.

- Madhav? With a small child?
Yes.

No. No one named Madhav
lives here.

Where has he gone?

Madhav with his niece?

No man with that name
lives here.

You returned!
Why did you take so long?

I was searching for Madhav,
but I could not find him.

Don't worry. You'll find your brother.

Yes, but for a thorough search
I'll have to hire men to work.

Newspaper advertisements, too.

I'll need money.
That's why I came to you, Mala.

That's it?

If you'll return my job,
I'll be obliged.

You still have that job.
That's why I called you here.

Okay, really? But your husband
doesn't know me.

- Won't he object?
Husband?

Yes the one who came
with you to the jail.

How can you think that?

- What?
- That's my husband.

He's not your husband?

Then who's your husband?

No one.

Then who was the man
with you that day? To install

lawyer.

Oh! That means you didn't marry?

But why?

No one liked me.

How is that possible?
You're such a wealthy landowner.

Why would anyone deny you?

But all the land belongs to you.

Dad transferred all
the property to you.

What! Dad transferred
the property to my name?

- What are you saying, Mala?
- Yes, he put it in his will.

But why did he do that? Mala,
I just need a job, that's all.

But who will you work for? Yourself?

Yes. But I don't understand
why he made that will.

I'll show you the will.
Then you'll understand everything.

No need of that, Mala.
I think I know why...

the property was given to me...

and why you remained unmarried
for fifteen years.

Do you?

Maybe I'm wrong. I was
in jail for fifteen years.

I must be thinking nonsense.

You don't understand anything.

No.

I'm nothing, but still dad
gave me the property.

For fifteen years you were waiting.
But for whom?

Mala!

Mala! I got it.

No!

How can I pay the taxes
for so many years?

I'm very poor man, sir.
Please cancel my tax.

But what can I do?
It's out of my hands.

You're the boss.
You can do everything.

Yes. Yes.
Listen brothers...

don't bother me right now.
Go and wait outside.

I'll talk to the boss. Go now.

- I have lots of work to do.
Okay.

Sanatan!
Yes?

Did you calculate Batuk Choubey's accounts?

- I'll do it, Mr. Manager.
- Hurry up.

Here I am in such trouble
and you're still working on it.

Today, if Batuk Choubey's
accounts aren't settled...

I'll lose my job.

- What are you doing?
Working, boss.

Are you working
or just sitting idle?

Boss is here.

Greetings.

Are Batuk Choubey's papers ready?

They'll be finished
in a few minutes.

Take all the papers to our lawyer.

Tell him to sue
for the remaining amount.

Okay sir.

I'll be satisfied
only after Batuk is punished.

- What's going on? - The people
from our temple group are here.

Why?

They want their tax cancelled.
Not a chance.

They, together with Batuk,
testified against me in court.

I want revenge on them all

- tell them.
Okay, sir.

- Manager?
Yes?

Is there any news of Madhav?

Nothing yet.

What! Then what were you doing?

We're trying to find him.

Try? My feet!
Put another ad in the paper.

Also declare a reward
for the one finding him.

As you wish.

The contractor is here!

Don't make noise.

Contractor, where do we go today?

- What's your name? Chandu.
- Yours? Mangal.

You all go to rock number ten.
Okay.

Where shall we go?
You five go to rock number five.

You all go to your work.

What are you doing?
Come on move.

Dubey!

Dubey!

When did you return from Kolkata?
Have you got any news?

Yes, I learned some things,
after much trouble.

Really? Sit here.

I knew you could do it
since you're literate.

And I'm illiterate.
So, I always returned with nothing.

Did you meet my brother?

- I didn't meet him.
- No?

Two months back
he was released from jail.

Released?

But Pandit, a few more days
are left on his sentence, right?

Yes, there are still
three months left.

Yes, three months.
Then where did he go?

That I don't know.

Pandit, might brother have gone?

I wonder the same thing.

Idiots! Dubey! You're useless.

You should've asked
for his whereabouts at least.

Pandit, what shall I do now?

- Madhav, what can I say?
- Forget it.

Just keep reading the newspaper.

You can't do anything.
I should go and find him.

Is uncle Madhav at home?

Uncle's not at home.

Really?

- I'm here at the right time.
Meaning?

I mean I can speak
with you freely.

Don't you have anything
else to do?

This is all I have left to do.

- Got it.
- What?

No.

Ash! Listen to me.

Ash! Listen to me.

- Won't you?
No. You'll just get mischievous again.

In love one's allowed
to be mischievous.

- Only after marriage.
Then let's get married.

Listen to me.
No.

- Won't you? No.
- Really? No.

Now tell me, I've caught you.

I let you catch me.
How else could you grab me?

However it happened, but today
I won't release you.

- What will you do?
- I'll punish you. Look at me.

No, I know your habits.
Let go.

- No. Let's go.
- I won't.

- Are doctors like this?
Yes, absolutely.

Don't talk to me.

Uncle, I was...

Doctor, why did you
park your cycle here?

It might get stolen.

I forgot about it.
Okay.

I know how your mind wanders
these days.

Did you write a letter
to your father?

No. I was busy.

But not too busy to flirt
with my niece every day, right?

Uncle, you're crazy.

Yes I am. Your dad
used to call me crazy.

Your mother as well and today
you called me crazy, too.

That's fine, but I think I
should get you two married soon.

- Doctor? Yes?
- You won't be able to do anything.

Give me your address,
I'll talk to your father.

- You'll talk to my father?
Yes. Why?

You don't know that
my father is very strict.

Okay. Are you scared of him?

Yes.
But doctor, don't underestimate me.

Give me your address,
I'll set everything right.

Then you do something.

Go to Purandarpur station
and ask anyone for Batuk Choubey.

- What's the name?
- Batuk Choubey. - Batuk Choubey.

- Bandarpur?
No. It's purandarpur.

Purandarpur. To install
Batuk Choubey. Purandarpur.

Okay. I'll remember it now. To install
Batuk Choubey. Purandarpur.

It totals 75,000 left.

We won the case.

The court has also
fined him rupees 5000/-,

The court authorized us
to auction all his property...

in case he
fails to pay the fine.

I'm very happy.
Finally my revenge is complete.

I'll deliver the news to him.
Tell driver to get my car.

Okay.

Now let's see what
that devil has to say.

Where is Batuk Choubey's house?

The big house in front is his.

Okay.

You still don't know me.

I know you well.

Who doesn't know the man,
taking advantage of helpless women...

and stealing their land?

But I'll show no mercy.

I want the amount of 5000/-,
plus the interest.

You'll have a month to pay.

You'll get the money.
Right after my son gets married.

I'll repay every single penny.

Mr. Batuk, in this modern world...

it's difficult to raise
a dowry of rupees 5000/-.

What's it to you?

My son is a doctor.
He has a good job.

And his engagement is arranged,
with the daughter of Balarampur's landlord.

Okay. Pay me my 5000/-
within a month.

Otherwise I'll be forced
to seize your land at Talapur. To install

Take heed.

I will.

- Whose marriage?
- Your marriage is difficult at your age...

but I was talking about Madan.

I mean doctor Madan.

Oh lady!

- He's marrying my niece.
Let's see.

Manager, we'll not give up
our land in any case.

Of course not. How can we?

Excuse me bro. Let me
finish first. Then you can continue.

Mr. Choubey, you have to
accept this proposal.

- Are you forcing it on us?
- Yes, I am.

Then can you pay us 5000/-?
Lignore him, manager.

You know me, how am I, right?

Are you a detective?

Mr. Choubey, 5000/- is a small amount.

I can lay down my life
for my niece.

If brother was here today,
there'd be no problem.

Whatever it is, are you going
to allow this marriage?

- Manager, what about that 11000/-?
- First answer me. - I will.

- Listen.
- Will you approve the marriage?

Yes, I will.

Come for sure.

I'll definitely come.

Okay. Manager, the court papers...

Look. You promised me.

He must be some crazy man.

I knew that he must have
run away from a mental asylum.

- Manager?
Yes?

- Inform Mr. Choudhary of Balrampur...
- Yes.

That this coming Sunday we'll hold
the engagement ceremony of the couple.

- Okay.
- That's it.

Why be shy? You beauty,
it's the best day of your life

Every girl has to walk
with her partner in life

Now get ready to leave this house
and begin life with your spouse

Today it's your turn. Tomorrow there'll
be others, so don't get too proud

Wedding day blossoms
only once in a lifetime

Every girl has to walk
with her partner in life

Why be shy? You beauty,
it's the best day of your life

Every girl has to walk
with her partner in life

A girl with a gorgeous face,
is sitting timidly under the veil

She is lost in thoughts
of her beloved

How can she speak her heart
to her friends?

To meet her love
her heart is becoming eager

Every girl has to walk
with her partner in life

Why be shy? You beauty,
it's the best day of your life

Every girl has to walk
with her partner in life

Madhav! You're standing here.
But the meal isn't ready yet.

- When will you serve the food?
- Pandit...

you're becoming impatient.

Don't you remember that
during brother's marriage ceremony...

you behaved the same way?

You'll ruin everything. Enjoy the music.

Uncle, the groom is calling you.

Why? He's getting impatient like Pandit?

Let me see.

Yes doctor, what's the matter?

Why isn't father here yet?

He promised me,
so he'll come for sure.

It's past time.

I hope he didn't
take you lightly and thought...

That I am a crazy man?
Did you hear, Pandit?

See his craziness.

Doctor, if your dad calls me crazy
then he must be one, too.

But without dad,
how can this marriage happen?

What are you saying, doctor?
Everything's already arranged.

The guests have arrived and
the rituals are about to begin.

Under these circumstances
if the wedding is cancelled...

then both you, Madhav,
and your niece will be ruined.

No. I was wondering
why dad hasn't arrived yet.

If your dad doesn't show up,
then you won't marry?

Will that be proper?

No. Rather, is it proper
to ruin my child...

by not marrying her
after agreeing to.

Tell me doctor. Are you
or your father marrying her?

- The groom has been called
to the marquee. - I won't go.

We'll see about that.
Malti, come on.

Let go. I'm coming.

Come on Mr. Groom.
Go straight to the tent.

You can't outsmart us.

Okay.
Come on.

Now it's fine.

Yes it is, but why
didn't his father come? To install

Forget it. Our job is finished.

You just get
some good food for us.

Yes, to hell with the world
but your hunger must be sated.

Come on.
First I'll serve you some food.

Come in.

- Come in.
- Madam? Madan?

Dad's here. What to do now?

- Why are you scared
of your father? - You don't know him.

He can even frighten
even a lion.

- Really?
Now what?

Don't worry, I'll make things right.

Will you?

Yes. But first you'll have
to agree that I'm the bravest.

Not just once, but I'll
agree a thousand times.

- If you'll just handle my father.
- Madam!

Have a seat Mr. Choudhary.

At an auspicious moment,
we'll leave for the village.

Yes. - Madam my child,
send a glass of water.

I'll tell you Mr. Choudhary,
your daughter will be very happy.

The atmosphere here is so beautiful.

And also, grocery supplies
are very cheap here.

Milk, oil, etc., everything is good.

- Have some water.
- No, you have it.

Who are you?
I didn't recognize you, my child.

Why would you?
You're strange, Mr. Choubey.

- Didn't you promise to come?
- What promise?

You've already forgotten?

You promised to come
for your son's wedding.

Doesn't matter. I got my niece
married to your son.

Married?
Yes!

- She's your daughter-in-law.
- What are you saying!

I'm saying nothing wrong.

You'll not find a more
beautiful wife for your son anywhere.

What an embarrassment!

Okay mr. Choubey, everything's clear now.

My car is ready.
I'll take your leave. Bye.

Listen to me!

What can I do?

Where is that scoundrel
who's ruined the family name?

He's here, hiding inside
because of your anger.

Doctor! Here he is.

Madam, come here.
Does this man speak the truth?

Come on, speak up.

Yes.
Yes, dad.

Better you'd have punched me,
instead of humiliating me like this.

I arranged your marriage somewhere else.

Almost everything was decided
and you got married here?

Madam, get ready
to come with me.

This is really good.

My child will get to see
her in-law's house.

Only Madan will come with me.

- And my niece?
To hell with her!

How can any ordinary girl...

be a daughter-in-law
of the Choubey dynasty?

Mind your language, Mr. Choubey!

She's the daughter
of my elder brother. Do you understand?

- If brother was here...
- Shut up!

I don't have time
for your gibberish.

- Get ready, madam.
- How can he? This won't happen.

Along with your son,
take your daughter-in-law also.

After all, what's her fault?

Your own son
wished to marry her.

Doctor, why are you silent?
Say something.

Okay. I'll take your niece
on one condition.

I'll agree to all you ask.

Promise me you'll never ever
set foot into our village.

Yes. I promise.

And if you step in, even by mistake,
you'll be forced out.

- Take heed.
- Yes, I will.

If my niece is fine,
then why would I come there?

My child, your in-laws
are your parents now, okay?

Won't you ever come to visit me?

Why are you crying, my child?

You'll live happily with your family...

and even if I don't show up,
it doesn't matter.

After all, you'll still
be my child, right?

Uncle!

Don't be disheartened, my child.

Uncle!
Don't be disheartened, my child.

Greetings, Mr. Choubey! Greetings.
I heard your son got married.

And you didn't even think
of informing me.

So, she's the daughter
of Balrampur's Choudhary?

Don't embarrass me.

My child, greet Mr. To install Avinash.

That's fine, my child.

Oh! I don't have any gift
for you but take this, my child.

Anyway, take this.

Take it. It's like
blessings from the elders.

Your daughter-in-law is very pretty.

Yes she is. But I was
ruined due to a fraudster.

No fraudster in this world
can ruin you, Mr. Choubey.

I hope you remember
your promise.

After your son's marriage,
you'll repay my money.

Yes, I remember.
Come on, my child.

You also remember, if you fail
to repay, what'll do to you.

Yes. I remember that too.
Come on.

Idiot, because of you, I have
no place to show my face.

Don't worry, dad. I'll repay
all your debts with my earnings.

You will. But there he is,
ready to seize our lands.

But we won't let him.

Dad, you be careful...

No money and no land.

What are you talking about?

Just look at it.

Okay, let's see.

Sure.

What a headache!

Uncle Madhav, are you still asleep?

- The whistle has already blown.
- Ignore it.

You've been absent for fifteen days.
Aren't you afraid of losing your job?

Our heart feels fresh
if we keep working.

Not me. I've retired from work.

Asha was here with me,
so I was working.

She got married. Now I've retired.

Now I'll do whatever I want.
Who's to stop me?

Madhav!

This Pandit will bother me.
Tell him I'm not well,

- I won't go to work.
Madhav.

Madhav, you're resting here.
Come on, wake up.

- Let me sleep.
- You won't go to work?

- Go away, Pandit.
- Yes, I will.

But Madhav, in this morning's mail...

is a letter from Asha.

Asha's letter! Let me see.

Did you notice, Pandit,
how good her handwriting is?

After all she's the daughter
of my well-educated brother.

My child Asha's letter!

Pandit, this is the first letter
I've ever received.

My child Asha's letter!

My child Asha.

Read it, Pandit.

She wrote, 'Greetings to respected uncle.'

- Stay blessed, my child.
- 'I'm doing very well, ' - '

The house is very big.'
- Of course.

'All love me very much.'

Why not? - 'But I'm missing you
a lot. I wish to see you.

And I want to see you, my child.

'I've not been feeling well
for a few days.'

- What!
- 'Your daughter, Asha.'

Read it again, Pandit.

'I want to see you.

'I've not been feeling well
for a few days.'

Not well!

'I want to you, uncle.'

Not well!

Pandit, Asha must not be well.

It's a virus.
No need to worry.

You don't understand, Pandit.
If she wrote...

then she's definitely ill.

You know how frail this girl is.
I'll go there, Pandit.

But you promised you wouldn't.

Yes I did! But I can't stay back
if my child isn't well.

I'll go there, Pandit,
even if they throw me out..

Even if they humiliate me.
But I'll definitely go there.

Ash! My child!

Uncle!

Ash! My child!
Uncle.

- How are you, my child?
- Fine.

I couldn't stop myself after reading
about your ill health.

- Are you fine now?
Yes, uncle.

But we have a big problem here.

Problem! Where's Madan
and the other family members?

They've gone to fight
with the landlord.

- Fight?
- Both sides have called their men...

and it's a very serious matter.

Madan and your father-in-law
have both gone there?

Then I have to go, too.

Madam!

Uncle, why did you come here?

There are riots going on here. To install
go home.

Why? Do you think I'm old?

Not like that, uncle.
Their men outnumber ours.

- We can't compete against them.
- And you're fearful?

What's there to fear?
I'll take them on.

Give it to me.
Uncle!

Come on, come with me!

Mangal.

Who is this old man?
He's fighting very energetically.

We need to stop him.
He's coming this way.

Hide.

Uncle!

- Boss!
- What is it?

We seized the land...

but we've got an injured man
with us.

- Where is he?
Lying in the garden.

- Yes.
- Why'd you bring him here?

- What if he testifies against us?
Tell us what we should do.

Kill him and bury him somewhere.

Okay, boss.

What happened?
Who have you ordered to be killed?

- A man from Batuk's team.
- You ordered him killed?

Yes. Where are you going?

- Ram Singh will kill him.
- I ordered him to.

I can't let this happen.
I won't kill anyone over land.

Mala!

Mala!
Ram Singh!

Jaggu.

Ram Singh!

Leave me. Leave me.

Hold him tight. Shut his mouth.
Leave me.

Ram Singh! Jaggu!

Ram Singh!

Jaggu!
Leave me.

- Ram Singh! Madam.
- What's going on?

Boss ordered us to kill
that man and bury him.

Stop all this.
But it's an order.

- I say stop this.
Ram Singh.

What is it?

- Why are you silent?
Madam stopped me. I stopped him.

Mala, I told you
not to interfere.

Go.
How dare you! Don't do this.

Mala, you don't know that...

the person your father worried about...

was responsible for me
spending fifteen years in jail.

I had to leave
my brother and daughter.

It doesn't mean
you have to kill someone.

- I won't let this happen.
- You don't understand, Mala.

If Batuk comes here
and finds him dead...

it'll become difficult for me.
I'll go back to jail. Go!

Ma'am?

- Useless fellow! Move.
- No, don't do that.

No.
Move aside, Mala.

Brother!

Madhav!

Madhav!
Brother!

I was going to kill you!

Where were you?
I looked for you everywhere.

We've met after sixteen years, Madhav.

Madhav, what if I'd killed you?

Brother, now I've found you.

You're injured, Madhav.

Brother!

You've grown so old.
Even your mustache has turned white.

You look older than I do.

You made me old.

Uncle!

Where's my uncle? Please release him.

Tell me where is he?

Ash! My child!

Uncle!

Ash!

- Uncle!
- My child!

Uncle!

You're still bleeding.

Let it bleed. I'm repaying
your dad with this blood.

Brother, this is your daughter Asha.

- Batuk's daughter-in-law?
Yes!

I married her to doctor Madan.

My child, he's your father.

- My daughter!
Father.

You were so small!

Mala, do you know who he is?

He's my crazy brother, Madhav.
Sister-in-law.

Meet my daughter, Asha.

Come, my child.

He's still bleeding.

Let me see.

Ram Singh! Quickly call the doctor.

Come, Madhav.

This is Shankar Mishra.
He injured my relative. Arrest him.

Who are you arresting, Mr. Choubey?
Enough of this.

If you'll act smart,
I'll have you arrested, too.

Do you know who he is?
He's my elder brother.

- Your older brother?
Yes!

Didn't I say
my elder brother is wealthy?

Shankar Mishra is your elder brother?

- Yes.
- And Ash?

Asha's his daughter.

Oh god! That means
I was fighting my relative?

Mr. Shankar, please forgive me.

Now there's no question
of any disputes, Mr. Choubey.

I have everything
and the happiest thing is...

after sixteen years, I finally
got back my younger brother.

Brother, for your entire life
you held me captive.

But now I'm free. Totally free.

How can I set you free?

Don't you remember, you
used to call me your enemy?

Yes.

Madhav, now I'll capture you
with love...

in the corner of my heart
that was deserted.

Brother!
