Bumm Bumm Bole (2010) - full transcript

When Meghalaya-based Gogai attempts to molest his subordinate, Kalyani, her husband, Khogiram Maheshwar Gwala, also an employee, intervenes, a scuffle ensues, people gather and separate the duo, and an enraged Gogai fires them. Khogiram is unable to find a job; Kalyani does not make enough money weaving baskets; while their two children, Pinaki and Rimzim, have not only to deal with their respective Catholic schools, but also assist their parents, and share a pair of shoes. Things get even worse after Gogai gets killed, and Inspector Vishwajeet Khatonyar detains and interrogates Khogiram - suspecting him of not only killing Gogai but also having connections with terrorists.

Vegetables! Vegetables! -Flowers!

Vegetables! Vegetables!

Run! Run!

l had a dream.

l drowned in it.

A dream with open eyes.

l looted stars and starlets
in the dream.

Fill your pockets with it.

Let's run away.

Let's find a new world.

The clouds are dancing.



Dancing to the tune
of lightening.

Dancing with a rhythm.

With anklets on their feet.

These moments shouldn't be lost.

Color the world with new colors.

Color the world with new colors.

Color the world with new colors.

The wind is slow.

With the burden of fragrance.

The wind is slow.

The fluttering butterflies.

Carrying the fragrance
of flowers.

The rain is melodic.

There is a zing in
the atmosphere.



Let it stay.
Don't meddle with it.

Color the world.
Color the world.

Color the world.
Color the world.

Color the world.

Come.

Come on, Keshto. Come quickly.

Excuse me, my muffler is up there.

Thank you.

Kalyani! Give me my tiffin.

l've a lot of work
at the factory.

l won't be able to come back here.

Listen!
Go with Bohoni in the evening.

l'll be late.
The children will be waiting.

Okay? Okay.

Ball! Ball!

Pass it to me!
Binu, pass it to me!

Pass it! Binu! Pass it!

Here!

Binu!

Half my salary is used
for the house rent.

l'd asked him to wait for a month.

Sure, he'll listen to you.
You're..

What about your salary?
Did you get anything?

No. Master said he'll
give it on Monday.

Why on Monday?

He doesn't intend to give it.

As far as possible,
he wants to block our payments.

Where were you?

ls this the time to come home?

l'd asked you to come at 6
other'clock. lt's 6:30pm now.

lf you roam around this way,
you won't get food.

l send you to such an
expensive school.

What do you think?
Your parents pluck out money..

..instead of tea leaves?

You don't care for my
hard work at all.

l've told you so many
times to study..

..and become a doctor
or an engineer..

..and get away from
this stricken life.

But you don't want to listen..
-Why are you getting so angry?

Why are you standing here?

Pick up a book and start studying.
Come on!

One two three four five six
seven eight nine ten.

Rimzim, from today, you must
eat early and sleep early.

From tomorrow, school is at 8am.
-l hope you remember.

Otherwise, you'll go in
the afternoon as usual..

..and school might have
closed down by then.

l won't give it. You don't write
with a pencil, you eat it.

Khoki! Take this box to the
post office immediately.

Post office?

l'll waste half a day going down
and coming back up the hill.

My work.. -Forget that.
This is more important.

The tea specimen must
be sent to Mumbai.

The people in Mumbai will
then send it to America.

This is the address in Mumbai
and here's the money.

Register it. Okay? Register it.

Bring back the receipt properly.
Come on, go. -Go immediately. Go.

Where were you? Everybody
took money and went away.

Go to the office quickly.

There? -Yes.

Come. You took really long.

Where were you? Have you eaten?

Or will you eat with me?

Give me the money, sir.
l'm in a hurry.

Don't worry about the money.

Alright.
l'll increase your salary.

Rs.100 per day. Are you happy?

Where will you go in the heat?

lt's cool here. Take a nap.

Take care of yourself.
Your hands have become dry.

Give me the money, sir.
l'm in a hurry.

You don't understand.

Everybody has a right to a
luxurious life. You too.

Come. -Leave me.

Save me! Save me!

Save me! Save me!

You rogue! -Leave. Leave me.

Kalyani! Kalyani!

Kalyani, what happened?

You rogue!
l'll cut you into pieces.

You won't dare to touch my wife.

l'll shoot you before that.

l can get a gun too.
lt is easily available.

l'll kill you.

Throw him out. He and his
wife should not be seen..

..here from tomorrow.

To hell with your job.
Leave me. Scoundrel!

There is no point. What's the
use going to the police?

Those rogues will say she
was playing a charade.

So, she was thrown out.

How can anybody lie in such a way?

We're married.
We live a respectable life.

Everybody knows it.

They'll say you're her pimp..

..and put you into prison.

lt is easy to say so.

One world is created
by the Almighty..

..and the other, by these

People in uniforms.

And in our police station..

..there are only people
from other cities.

They should be thrown out of here.

Why do you differentiating,
Vishnu?

A man's destiny takes him places.

One is the birth place,
and the other is the work place.

Both are like our parents.
There is no bias.

Our nationality is the same.
-Who says so?

When we go to their cities,
don't they throw us out?

Or do they let us stay
there lovingly?

They're not bothered about having
the same nationality.

Everybody is selfish.

Outsiders don't care what
is happening here.

They make money here and send
it to their native place.

We,
too, must think of our own people.

l'll arrange a job for you with
a monthly salary of Rs.5000.

Look, l'm sensible enough
to understand that..

..the job which pays Rs.5000
to a person like me..

..isn't a decent job.
-lt's futile talking to you.

Vishnu!

Bani, l don't think Vishnu is
working in an appropriate place.

Take care.

Brother! Please take some money.

No, thanks.

lt'll be difficult until
you get a new job.

Return it later.

There is a surplus of
money in your house.

l realized it when l saw
cream in the tea.

Bye.

So, what's the news?

The news is that God is busy
dancing in heaven..

..and He's unaware of what is
happening in this world.

A tractor factory was coming up.

But the leaders and
terrorists..everybody is evil.

They closed it down.

Be patient.
Something will come up.

Serve the food.

Whatever was left,
l served it to the children.

l thought you'd bring rice.

l forgot.

l was fuzzy ever since
l left the factory.

Binu! Go to uncle Kurmi's
and bring 2kg of rice.

Father, he asks for money.

Tell him l'll clear all the
dues next week. Certainly.

And listen..

..on your way, give those baskets
to uncle Lakhi Charan.

And bring some vegetables
in return.

Father. -Yes.

My old sandals came apart again.

Please bring new ones.

Not today, dear. Next week.

For the time being, l'll get
it stitched by the cobbler.

Binu! -Yes.

Take these along too.
Get them stitched.

Take it.

Then how will l go to
school tomorrow?

He'll bring it back today itself.

Hello, Uncle.
Papa told me to get 2kg rice.

That would be Rs.20. Do you've it?

Father has asked you to
add it in our account.

l've been doing that for
quite a while now.

He's been telling me
since three weeks..

..that he'll get a job
sooner or later.

No luck until now.

lf your father doesn't get a job
for the rest of his life..

..should l provide food
for his family?

He should at least pay
Rs.100 or Rs.200.

Look, until l get some money l
won't give you any food grains.

Understood?

Should l take the garbage, sir?
-Yes, take it away.

You're still standing here?

l'm asking you for the last time,
Uncle.

l won't come empty-handed,
henceforth.

And father will get
a job next week.

Vishnu, pack 2kg rice for the kid.

Not the 'Basmati' (Superior
quality rice grains), you idiot.

Give him the rationed rice.

lt's kept over there.

Oh, God! What have you done?

My sister's shoes. -Have l robbed
your sister's shoes?

You've spoiled all the vegetables.
Run away from here!

Vishnu!

You're still standing here? -What
else do you want to knock down?

l kept them right here.
l kept them right here.

Go away!

Get going!
Boy, why don't you leave?

You're still standing here?

Vishnu,
take back the grocery from him.

Come back. Come back. He ran away.

Come on. Set the store in order.

Pick these up quickly.

All this and that.
Keep them in place.

Did you get the rice grains?
-Yes, l brought it.

And my shoes?

Brother, my sandals?

Brother, did you bring my sandals?

Yes.

Has the cobbler done his
job properly? -Yes.

l'll go check right away.

Brother, where are my shoes?

They aren't here. -They're not?

Your shoes disappeared
from the shop..

..where l brought the rice from.

l searched for them a lot,
but l couldn't find them.

That means you lost my sandals.
-l'll get them right away.

Don't tell mother. Please.

Pinu! Pinu, where are running
off to? Help me cut the wood!

Pinu!

Pass it to me.
-Pass the ball to me.

What are you doing, Chintu?
-Hi, Pinu.

Hey, Pinu. Stop!

Pinu, let's play.
We've a match with Raka tomorrow.

Not now. l've lots of work.

Papa told me not to play before..

..all the work gets finished.

Stop, Pinu. Stop.

Oh, no.

Pass it to me.

Buy whatever you want for Rs.20.
-Buy whatever you want for Rs.20.

Yes, buy it.
Buy it. Only Rs.20. Only Rs.20.

Who is it?

You devil, you came back?

Stop!

Oh, God! Vishnu! Vishnu!

Some listen to a knowledgeable
guru.

Pinaki?

Hello, Priest.

Son, are you going home?

Wait a minute. l'll be right back.

Son, will you do me a favour?

Here. Here's some sugar candy to..

..distribute with the offerings.

Tell your father to make small
pieces of them. Take this.

God bless you.

Why didn't you help your mother?

Why didn't you come back
when she called you?

You're always avoiding work.

Don't you've any responsibilities?

My daughter also helps her mother.

You just know how to eat,
play and sleep. That's it. Right?

You're not a kid anymore.

At your age, l'd have to carry
rocks for making roads.

l've been explaining
to you since long.

Why don't you understand?

Why don't you understand?
Are you a dim-wit? Or a fool?

Don't you've any shame?

Why do you scold the
kid all the time?

Son, go freshen up and do
your homework. Go on.

Don't kick it away.

Everyone is out to ruin me.

Will l get tea?

Rimjhim. -Yes, Mother.

Take tea from there and
give it to papa.

There's no sugar in it.

What's this for? Take this.

This sugar is for the Lord.
The priest has entrusted it to me.

lf we use it,
Lord Shiva will punish us.

Rimjhim. -Yes,
Mother. -Give him this sugar.

Here.

l can't even pay the fees.

Added to that there's ration and
other things to be bought.

l wonder how we'll survive
this month.

'Brother,
how will l go to school tomorrow?'

l'd saved Rs.100 and kept it
under the sari in the box.

Should l use it?

Are you crazy?

Have you lost your mind?

Remember, Rimjhim was unwell
during 'Bihu' festival.

We spent all the money then.

How can we still have that money?

You don't know what you're saying.

'Wear my slippers.'

You're hard working.
You're very dedicated.

l'm confident you'll
surely get a job.

'Teacher scolds me a lot.
She won't take me in her class.'

To hell with hard work
and dedication.

'Tell her that you've
hurt your leg.'

'l can't wear my shoes.'

l feel like destroying everything.

lt's no use.

Work very hard everyday.
Live for 60 years. And then die.

'l'll punch you in the stomach.'

'You lost my shoes and then
you tell me to lie?'

'Should l tell papa?'

They think l'm a goon.

Nothing happens over here.

One can't even run a factory.

We can't do anything.

'He'll go crazy with anger.'

'He will beat me up.'

'He doesn't have money
to buy me new shoes.'

Maintain some peace in the house.

Enough is happening outside.

'So, what should l do? l've to
go to school in the morning.'

'Wear my shoes.'

'As it's,
l go to school in the afternoon.'

'After school, meet me next
to the gate in the lane.'

'We'll exchange footwear
over there.'

Come. Come on.

They're oversized.
l won't wear your shoes.

l'll fix them right away.

Are they all right now?

Ring-a, ring-a roses.

Pocket full of posies.

Kids, tie your shoelaces
firmly before jumping.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Yes, that's good. Go back.

Come. You come.

Take it.

1.. -Oh, no.

She fell down.
Oh, my God! How did it happen?

l hope she isn't hurt.

Kids, Sonu fell down because
she was wearing slippers.

She didn't wear her shoes.

l've told you several
times that it's..

..important to wear your shoes.

But l'm happy that some
girls have worn shoes.

You go back.

Come, Kishta. You come.

Very good.

Yes!

Yes!

Hurry up! Quickly!

Hurry up! You took so long.

No. l came running from school.

Quick.
l'm getting late for school.

Ma'am, Manu is here. -Come in.

You come late everyday.
-Ma'am.. Father..

Father? What happened today?

Early in the morning,
my father fell into the sludge.

l was coming to school.
He screamed. So l went back.

l picked him up.
He told me to wash his loincloth.

Because he has only one
loincloth with him.

l was washing the loincloth here..

..and he was applying balm there.

He said,
'How will l wear a wet loincloth?'

He told me to iron it.
l didn't have an iron box at home.

l brought the iron box
from my neighbor..

..ironed the loincloth,
sent father to work.

And then l came to school,
madam'am.

So, l got a bit late. -Go and sit.

Come on, let's go. -Hurry up.

Such chaos. Last night the
minister was shot dead. -Yes.

There were several rounds
of firing too.

Last night l'd to go
out for a movie.

Now, the police have closed
down all the movie halls.

l don't know when all
this will end.

Brother, you reached school
on time, didn't you?

Were you in time for
the national anthem?

No, l was very late.

You'll have to come a bit early.
-Early?

l came here running.

You didn't tell mother, did you?

l told you l wouldn't tell mother
anything, so l didn't.

ls it?
-But your shoes are so dirty.

l feel embarrassed wearing them.

This is your latest excuse.
-Really.

Everybody's shoes are
so clean in school.

Big deal.
l'll wash them right away.

l'll make them shine like
vanilla ice-cream.

Punni! Where did you keep the
matchbox, you wretched girl?

Ma'am,
you don't understand anything.

She keeps troubling
me all the time.

Binnu, you're dirtying the
well water. Go from here!

lt was a good job.
You know what it was?

Taking care of dogs. l refused.

How would l take care of my kids..

..after taking care of two dogs?

You'll have to go to the
hospital tomorrow.

No..nothing much. lt will be fine.

When times are bad,
nothing works out.

How will l manage in
the coming days?

l don't understand anything.

Forget it, dear.
We'll not starve to death.

Life is more than just starvation.

Don't let it get wet.

l wanted my kids to
succeed in life.

So, l got carried away and got
them admitted in a big school.

Now where will l get fees
for the next six months?

l made a mistake. A grave mistake.

l got them admitted
in a big school.

But a father has to do at least
this much for his kids..

..isn't it?

'l can't sing.'

'l can't climb up mountains.'

Brother..Brother..
-'l can't ride a horse.'

'l can't swim.'

'l can't cook.'

Don't worry. Have faith in God.

Don't even talk about that deaf,
dumb, and crippled man.

Where's He? Where's He? What
good has He done to us?

That Gogai, idiot..

He's living a lavish life
by making us work hard.

We're loyal.
Concerned about our dignity.

But we'll die of starvation
and poverty.

Praying and performing veneration
is a fool's charade.

God doesn't exist.
Neither here nor in the sky.

God is just a stone idol.
Just a piece of stone.

And a piece of stone doesn't
do good or bad to anyone.

Brother..
Brother.. Brother.. Brother..

What's the matter? -Brother..
lt is raining outside.

The shoes got drenched.
Then how will we go to school?

Mr. Goswami sent you, isn't it?
-Yes, my neighbor.

He told me. We've work here.
But to count wood.

We get different types
of wood here.

And we count them
and give numbers.

Will you be able to do it? -Yes.
Yes.

Why are you nodding your head?

Have you done such work before?

Don't worry.
Just give me two days.

l'll learn as l watch
and ask around.

Okay, then start from today.

Moreover,
we don't have many laborers here.

You want new shoes, don't you?

Come on, l'll get for you.

Where will you get
my new shoes from?

l've brought new shoes for you.
-Who gave you money?

l didn't buy the shoes with money.
God gave the shoes to me.

When did you meet God?
-You ask too many questions.

Do you want the shoes or not?

Yes. -lf somebody asks..if
somebody asks..

..who gave these new shoes to you,
tell them that..

..teacher saw my torn shoes
and gave new shoes to me.

Okay? -Yes.

Where is it? Where is it?
-Shut up, father is here.

Kalyani! Kalyani! -What?

l got a job.

Take these sweets. Take this.

But don't have them. We have
to offer some to God first.

You were cursing Him last night.

Now you're praising Him so much.
What's the matter?

l'd lost my mind. An idle mind
is a devil's workshop.

l cursed God. But now it's proved.

You can't see Him,
but He always sees us.

Brother, you're absolutely right.

He favors the good ones and
doesn't spare the bad ones.

He punishes them.

Shoes. -You'll get thrashed now.

Tomorrow..tomorrow morning.

Veeru! You've stolen my devotee's
slippers from the temple!

You're a sinner! l won't spare
you! l'll thrash you!

Where is she?
Where's she? -What happened, dear?

What happened?
-What happened, dear?

He would've had a nightmare.
Make him drink some water..

..and put him to sleep.

Nothing will happen.
Take God's name and go to sleep.

Come on, dear. Sleep. Sleep.

What happened?

Please, don't punish me.

l'll never do anything
wrong again.

Ma'am.. -What is it?

What's the time now?
-You have a lot of time left.

Come on,
finish writing your paper.

You finished it?

Ma'am, shall l go now? -So, are
you in a hurry to go home?

Go.

Hey dear, what's the matter?
Why are you crying?

My shoe fell into the muck.

Don't worry, dear.
l'll get your shoes out.

Where's it? Oh, it's here.
l'll see.

Wait, dear. l'll be right back.

Don't cry, dear. l'll get your
shoes out now. Wait. Don't cry.

Come out! Hey, brother! -What?

Get the shoe!
Get the shoe! Catch hold of it.

Where were you since so long?

Why have you come so late?

l don't want to wear your shoes.
-Why?

Why is it wet?
-lt fell into the sludge.

But how will l go to school
wearing these wet shoes?

How did it fall into the sludge?

The shoes are big.
So they keep coming off.

Yes! You make good excuses.

l'd stuffed cloth in the shoes
in front of you, didn't l?

Then too it comes off.
lt is your fault.

You lost my shoes.
Where are my shoes?

Yesterday you said you
brought new shoes.

God gave it to you.

You didn't give the shoes to me.
Moreover you're lying.

Give my shoes to me or
l'll tell mother.

And then mother will tell father.
-That will be good.

You'll get thrashed.

l'm not scared of
getting thrashed.

But father doesn't have money.

How can we buy shoes
before the 1st?

l thought you would've understood
this by now.

Now, tell me.
Will you tell mother?

Tell me.

'Bumm bumm bhole (Hail Lord
Shiva), the snake sways..'

'..and gobbles up whoever lies.'

Will you tell mother now? -No.

What is your name?
ln which standard do you study?

Binaki Gwala. 6 B.

Where were you?
Why have you come so late?

Sorry, madam'am. My house is far.

Or..did you forget the
school timings..

..while playing on the way?

Sorry, madam'am. Yes, madam'am.

Why is your shoe wet?

Sorry, madam'am.
l fell in the sewer.

Then how is your pant dry?

Sorry, madam'am.
The sewer was small.

What is this? The sock is
dry and the shoe is wet?

l hate false stories.

lf you come late again, l'll drive
you away from the school.

Come on. Go to your class.

Ma'am, may l come in? -Yes.

Will you come to play football
in the evening?

Silly, it's the final match.

What is this commotion here?

Didn't l forbid you to talk?

The students who are laughing
are about to cry.

Because the examination
results are here.

All the students in the class,
except seven, have failed.

Tarun Kurmi has secured the
third rank in the class.

Aslam Khan has come second.

And Binaki Gwala has secured
the first rank.

Binaki, come and meet
me in the staffroom..

..after class. Okay?

Ma'am, Nandu has come.

Our latecomer has arrived.
Come. Come in.

Tell me. What story do you have
about your father today?

He sent me to the market to
buy kerosene worth Rs.2.

The shop was closed.

l asked the neighbors.
They said the shop wouldn't open.

lt was the shopkeeper's wedding.

So, l returned home.
My father was on the terrace.

Father came down. He gave me
the address of another shop.

l bought kerosene from there
and gave it to father..

..and then came to school.

So, l'm a little late.

You've come at the right time.

Go. Sit.

Hurray! The bell has rung!

Come on, let's go.
Let's enjoy. Hurray!

Ma'am, may l come in? -Yes.

This is for you for securing
the first rank in class.

Take it.

Thank you, madam'am. -Welcome.

Rimzim! Rimzim!

Rimzim! Rimzim!

Rimzim! Why don't you stop
when l'm calling you?

Are you cross with me?
Or are you upset?

Look at this.

From where did you get it?

Miss Mahanta had given it to me.
Keep it.

Really? ls it for me? -Yes.

Shiva). The snake sways.

Did you threaten to kill him?

Where did you get the pistol from?

No, sir. l did thrash him, but..
-Come on. Sit in the jeep.

Sir. -Come on.

Someone has given you wrong
information, sir.

-Check his house.

Bullets, guns, explosives,

Sir, l didn't do anything..l
didn't thrash Gogai. -Shut up!

-Come on. Come on!

Sir, don't thrash him.
-Sir, listen to me.

Sir! -Please listen to me.

Sir, please don't take him.
He's not at fault. -Come on!

Sir, don't hit him. -Sir, listen
to me. Please listen to me.

Sir, don't take him.
He's not at fault, sir.

Sir, l've not done anything.

Students,
we know that exams are on.

So, please study hard.

And make the right
use of your time.

Many girls have told
me that there are..

..problems in their families..

..because of which they
are unable to study.

l'm going to meet
your parents too.

Come what may,
they must give you..

..a lot of time and the
right atmosphere.

Don't you waste your
time playing..

..and watching cartoons on TV.

Okay, students? All the best
for the rest of your papers.

Now you may go to your
respective classrooms.

The first queue will go first.
Then the second and the third.

One after the other.

Hey, Khokiram. -Yes. Yes?

Calculate your wages till today.

You don't have to come
to work from tomorrow.

Why? What's wrong, sir?

l don't need more men now.

Last week you were saying that
you're short of workers.

Now, all of a sudden..

l don't want to say it.
But if you insist, then listen.

l don't want a man who is
involved with the police.

No, sir, there is no police case.

The police had taken me only
for an investigation.

l've not done anything.

People are also saying you have
connections with terrorists.

No! No!

No! l don't want to get involved
with the police and army.

Navin, clear his accounts.

No, sir..

l'm a tailor. -l am a tailor.

Making clothes. -Making clothes.

Stitch. Stitch. Stitch.
-l stitch, stitch, stitch.

Bye.

Hurray!

Come on, let's go and play.
Let's play.

Come on. -You come to my
house too. -Come on.

Mother. -Oh, darling, it's you!

Binaki, come here.

Why are you late today?

Did you fall into the
sewer or the river?

Go home. Come on. Go back home.

l'm talking to you.
Go home and bring your father.

Sorry, madam'am.
He has gone to work.

Then tell him l've called
him tomorrow.

Sorry, madam'am.
He'll go to work tomorrow too.

Then bring your mother?

Sorry, madam'am.
My mother is sick.

l won't listen to such excuses.

We punish bad students this way.

Get out of the school. Get out!

Where are you going?

What's wrong? -l've been sent out.

Oh! Okay, wait right here.

Good afternoon, madam'am.
-Good afternoon.

He's a very good student.

He always secures first
rank in class.

He's very quiet.

Binaki, come here.

Miss Mahanta has recommended
you this time.

That's why l'm sparing you.
Go to your classroom.

Sorry, madam'am.
Thank you, madam'am.

Father, be careful.
Walk slowly. -Okay, dear.

The hand-barrow isn't here,
it's on that side.

Dear, take your father to
the market carefully.

Take good care of him.
-She does take care of me.

They don't ask her anything,
isn't it?

Yes. Their condition
is worse than ours.

What happened?

Khokiram, what happened?
Will you tell me something?

l've been defamed.

l've nothing to do with them.

l don't have a single penny.

lt's been over a month.

l wander around asking for work.
Nobody hires me.

Everyone thinks l'm a murderer.

Can l kill anyone?

The police took me
away for a day..

..and everyone thinks
l'm a terror..

l've two kids.

Oh, God!

There is no God. -No,
you shouldn't say such things.

Kids have nothing to eat.
What should l do?

Yes.

Here are my younger brother's
belongings.

He joined the army a
couple of years ago.

l've some tools and this..
Yes, here's a pesticide sprayer.

Was he a gardener? -Yes.

All these tools are rusting.
You can take them if you want.

Won't he need them?

Now he won't.
He has been posted at the border.

l wonder when he'll come back.

Yes, when he was here he'd go
to the city with the tools.

Rich people have houses
with big gardens.

He'd work at four to five
gardens everyday.

He earned handsomely.

l'll also go to the city
early tomorrow morning.

Kid, it's Sunday tomorrow. Your
school would be closed. Right?

Yes. -You come with me as well.

You'll waste your day playing,
anyway.

You'd better come with me. You'll
learn the ways of the world.

Come on. Put everything
in the bag. Come on.

Get down.

Rich people live here.

We should ask for work politely.

l hope there's someone
at the gate.

Otherwise, we'll ring the bell.

They've an intercom here.

When we ring the bell,
they'll ask..

Who is it? What do you want?

l'll say, l'm Khokiram, sir.

They'll ask, Yes, Khokiram.
What do you want?

l'll say, l'm a gardener.

Does your garden need
to be tended to?

They'll say.. You'll not
interrupt while l'm talking. Ok?

They'll say, Yes, come in.

There's work that
needs to be done.

The door will open.

l'll do the mowing..

..spraying of pesticide
or putting fertiliser.

You'll help me. Okay?

You're still too young.
Just do as l tell you.

Understood?

'Who's there?'

Madam.. Sir.. -'What?'

'What do you want?'

Well..

'Must be a civilian.'

Speak.
Speak. -'Speak. Who are you?'

Speak, Father. Speak.

Well, gardener..

'Soldier! -Yes, sir.'

'Bring my rifle.'

Run. Run. Run.

'Hurry up! -Sir.'

Anybody here?

Excuse me!

Father, run! -Run!

Father, run! Run!

'lnsolent! You've come now?'

'Does your cow give milk
in the afternoon?'

No. -'5 other'clock has given
way to 6 other'clock.'

'Six to seven and
seven to twelve.'

No. -'Madam doesn't want you to
deliver the milk. Go away.'

No. The medicine..
-'You fell ill again.'

Gardener.. -'Wait. Wait,
l'll teach you a lesson.'

'First,
you mix water in the milk.'

'And then you come and ruin
my afternoon nap.'

'Come.
Come for your money and see..'

We're not milkmen.
We're gardeners. -'What?'

Trimming the plants,
adding fertiliser..

..spraying pesticide and
cutting the grass.

We do all these things.

'l'm the gardener here.
Will you snatch my livelihood?'

'l'm the gardener here.
Will you snatch my livelihood?'

'Go away.'

'Wretches..'

Well done. Whatever l taught you,
you said it very well.

'Hello. What's your name?'

'Hello.'

'Why don't you speak?'

'l can see you on TV in here.
Do you know that?'

'Say something.'

'Come. Come closer.'

'Yes, a little further.
Some more.'

Can you ask your father whether
he needs a gardener?

'Father isn't home.'

Then ask your mother.

'Mother isn't home either.'

Then..
-'lt's just me and my grandma.'

Then ask your grandma. Please.

ls there work to be
done in the garden?

'You're a gardener? So young?'

Not me. My father.

'Where is your father?'

Right here. On the road.

Please,
can you ask your grandma now?

'First, tell me your name.' -Pinu.

'My name is Kumu.'

'Which class do you study in?'

Class Vl. Division B.

'What's the name of the school?'

Can you ask your grandma? Please.

'Grandma is praying.'

You should have said that before.

'Wait, Pinu.
Will you come to play with me?'

Pinu, let's go.

l've to go.

Pinu! Pinu, stop! Pinu, stop!

Stop.

We've some fertiliser and tools.
-Okay.

Use them. -Fine.

And you'll have to spray the
pesticide. -All right.

Especially those roses.

l planted them myself.

They're very delicate.

lf you don't spray pesticide
after two to four days..

..the insects eat away at them.

No. l've a spray pump.

Pinu, let's play.

Go on, son.

Your garden is very beautiful.
-Yes.

l'm also proud of it.

lt's a legacy of my ancestors.

lt seems you give special
attention to it.

Yes, l've learnt a lot.

First, mother taught me.

Later on,
father-in-law would teach me.

Nowadays, everyone goes to work.

Nobody has time.

l wonder who will take
care of it after me.

Pinu,
should l show you Cutie and Bumpy?

Who are Cutie and Bumpy?

They're kids. -Kids? Yours?

Yes.

They talk a lot.

Ask anything. They'll answer.

Pinu, you..

Pinu, wait here.
l'll be right back.

This is my Cutie and he's Bumpy.

So many sandals and shoes?

Does your father own a showroom?

Of course not. They're all mine.

What do you do with all these?

l wear them. These are school
shoes, these are dancing shoes.

l wear these at home.
These are for birthday parties.

Pink shoes for pink frock.
Blue shoes for a blue frock.

Thank you, son.

Take this.

Money doesn't mean much.
At least, l've got some work.

That's why keep this.

This is too much.

lt's too less when compared to
your hard work and dedication.

Thank you.

You've done the job for us.

So, we should thank you.

Our gardener disappeared
all of a sudden.

Thank God you showed up.

Otherwise, our roses could
have withered away.

Okay. Thank you very much.

Pinu!

He's really strange.

l mean God.

He takes time,
but He does His work.

You'll see. We'll be well-off now.

Grandma has recommended
four other families.

Those four families would
recommend four other.

Those eight families would
tell their neighbours.

ln a month we'll have 50
gardens to tend to.

We'll earn a lot of money.

Grocer, landlord.. That rogue,
l'll teach him a lesson.

Forget him. We'll buy a new house.

ln the new house, we'll have a
new bed, new fridge, new TV.

But first, new shoes for Rimjhim.

Her shoes are torn badly.

Yes, for both of you.
lf needed, we'll buy a shoe shop.

Happy?

Bumm Bumm. (Hail..)

Bumm Bumm Bhole.
(Hail Lord Shiva.)

Bumm Bumm.

Bumm Bumm Bhole.

Ask what your heart wants.

Ask it from the sky.

Why do you only think
about the stars?

Wish that you'd fly
and take the moon.

What's the harm?

Why are you holding
yourself back?

There are joys hidden in every
moment. Steal them.

-Bumm Bumm Bhole.
-Bumm Bumm Bhole.

Bumm Bumm Bhole.
Bumm Bumm Bhole.

Bumm Bumm Bhole.

Bumm Bumm Bhole.

You'll find angels on your way.

You'll find new relationships.

We'll finish the journey
with a smile.

The path will show you
your destination.

What's the harm?

Why are you holding
yourself back?

There are joys hidden in every
moment. Steal them.

Bumm Bumm Bhole.

Bumm Bumm Bhole.

Bumm Bumm Bhole.

Bumm Bumm Bhole.

Bumm Bumm Bhole.

Pinu!

Father!
Father, stop! Move! Father!

Hey, move! -Father! -Pinu!

Father, please! -Move!

Father, apply the brake!
Father, stop!

Father, we'll fall!

Hold on!

Sister-in-law..

..l've brought rice pudding
and Pilaf for the kids.

Take it.

l heard even the cycle broke.

Wasn't it rented? -Yes. He's
demanding Rs.900 for his loss.

But we were lucky.
Pinu was unhurt.

l've asked brother to stop
doing these petty jobs.

Find a good job so that he
can support his family.

We've seen worse times.

Sister-in-law, do you remember?

We'd drink a mixture of flour
and water for months on end.

But he got the job of distributing
medicine.

We're well-off now.

Look at this.
We didn't buy it from the fair.

Got it made by the goldsmith.

These days..

..he doesn't even have to move
about in the harsh sun.

He sends medicine sitting at home.

He has hired around eight people.

Kali's son Jayu.
He also works for us.

A 12-year-old boy earns
Rs.100 to Rs.200 a day.

You see.

Aunty, are you wearing new shoes?

He gives work to others. Wouldn't
my husband help his friend?

But brother is too arrogant.

How can he ask his brother-in-law
for a favor?

We asked you when we needed it,
didn't we?

But he won't.

Well, it was my job to inform you.

The rest is up to you.

Uncle, how much for these shoes?

Rs.80.

How many questions will
you ask the kid?

Don't you know the financial
crisis we're going through?

He wants to earn money
and share the burden.

lt's a good idea.

You give jobs to others. Why can't
you give your own people?

The family won't lose
any money to others.

Okay. Okay. l'll do something.

Come here.

What will you do?

Anything you say.

You'll have to meet the people
l tell you to meet.

And do as they say.

lt's a day's job.

You'll earn this much if
you make three trips.

Come on. Let's go in. Come.

Have you seen Suma tailor's shop,
which is across?

Ask him if Mani Ramdas's
long-sleeve shirt is ready?

But where do l've to deliver
the long-sleeve shirt?

How do l know?

Suma will tell you.

Suma will tell you where you have
to go and what you've to do.

But keep your mouth shut.
Completely shut.

Go.

Money.

And that?

You'll get the rest after
the three trips.

lt's torn. -Stick it together.

Everything goes in the poor
regions of a rich country.

Brother Suma.
l want to meet brother Suma.

Why? -ls Mani Ramdas's long-sleeve
shirt ready?

Listen..

Listen, boy. Why are you here?

Suma tailor has sent me with
Maniram's long-sleeve shirt.

Listen there is a bus stop
in the cloth market.

Have you seen it?

Stand there with this tiffin.

Brother Pulkit will come there.
Who?

Brother Pulkit. -Give this to him.

And look, keep your mouth shut.

Just mind your own business.
-Otherwise, l'll get you killed.

You get that?

Uncle.
Uncle. Don't sell these shoes.

l'll be right back with the money.
Don't sell them. Okay.

Okay. -Please.

Who are you guys?
What do you want?

Who are you guys?
What do you want?

Move it. And get the ambulance.

Leave me. Leave me.

Vishnu.
Why did they kill my Vishnu?

Listen, child. Who are you?

What are you doing?

Come on, go home. Go.

The junior school's marathon
is being held in our area.

All the schools will
be sending their..

..fastest sprinters for this race.

We also have to participate
in this marathon.

Today l'm going to select the kids
who want to participate..

..in this marathon during the
fourth period in this ground.

The five fastest kids will be..

..sent to the marathon to
represent our school.

Who had got it?
Where was the gun hidden?

l know nothing.

Where did he work?

ln a pharmaceutical company.

Then tell me the name
of the company.

You've been blabbering away
the same thing since when.

You lousy woman.

l can't remember, sir.

lt was a strange name.
l can't recollect it.

From where did you get the money?
-Money?

The wretch is pretending.

We confiscated an entire Rs.70,
000 from the attic.

Where did you get it from?

Who gave it to you and why?

l don't know.

Who were his acquaintances?

He used to be out of
town weeks on end.

Vishnu!

Were you his wife or his mistress?

Don't you know where your husband
went and what he did?

Sir, l don't know.

Have you got her brother?

Khoki, sir is calling you.

She's not opening her mouth.

You go and explain to her.

Sir, why don't you understand?

She's speaking the truth.

How can a woman know the
matters of a man?

Wouldn't they've questioned
their husbands before..

..if they could've thought
beyond the kitchen.

Bullets and guns were found
hidden in the house.

And she didn't know?

We've found Rs.70,000 in cash.
ln cash.

Wouldn't she have asked how
and where he got them from?

l told you the truth l knew.

How do l convince you?
She's innocent.

Sir, l climbed the steps of
the police station once..

..and my life was ruined forever.

l've been begging people for work.

People have labelled me as a
murderer and a terrorist.

l've two kids who are this small.

Now their lives will also
be ruined because of me.

God knows how l'm going
to raise them.

Save Bani at least, sir.

A hungry poor man
is like soft wax.

You can mould him as you want.

He'll become a terrorist
if you label him as one.

Then who will be responsible
for that, sir.

Tell me.

No government wants
us to get ruined.

All over the country communities
and societies are fighting..

..against the government.

But we still have faith
in law and order.

Then, sir, how will you repay us
for our loyalty and honesty?

Run. Run. Hurry up. Run. Run.

School was great fun, isn't it?

Run. We're getting late.
Hurry up. Hurry up.

Listen. Listen.

You'd dropped your pen.

Thank you.

You found it? -Yes.

-My name is Rimzim?

My name is Hoky.

Let's go. -Okay.

Because they were torn.

Tarun Kurmi. -Present, Teacher.
