Lukochuri (1958) - full transcript
Where did l put them?
- Buddhu.
- Coming, father.
- We'll be late.
- Coming.
l don't remember.
Life is little, little is pain.
Little, little are sorrows.
Certainly very easy and simple.
Thousands of forgotten matters...
are being floated away.
The tears couldn't be explained.
The matters have no problems,
neither essence, nor advice.
Where did it go?
Got them, here.
- Buddhu.
- Father?
- Buddhu.
- Coming.
- Hey Buddhu.
- Yes, father what?
What are you doing?
lt's time for the train.
- l'm absolutely ready, look.
- What's this?
- This is my picture.
- And that one?
lt's mine, too.
Your picture?
This is Shankar's picture.
Where did you get this picture?
- Brother, brother, brother's picture.
- You know he has...
no relation with
this house anymore?
There could have been relations, father...
- if his marriage... You...
- You would certainly say that.
After all, he's your twin brother.
No no, l would never allow any
artist girl in this house.
- And listen.
- Yes?
Don't have any contact
with him after going to Bombay.
- Understand?
- Yes.
lf we meet accidentally?
Then turn away your face. Come.
But l'll still board at Shankar's house.
- Buddhu.
- Yes coming, father.
So, Buddhu, are the roads of
Bombay lit at night, son?
- Certainly, aunt. - Walk around
there carefully at night, son.
There could be snakes and all.
- Oh no, no...
it's not a village.
Bombay is a huge city.
Bigger than our Jabalpur.
lt's still not decided
where you'll live there.
lf the transfer could
be avoided somehow...
lt's a job, what could be done?
You don't worry, father.
- Everything will be all right.
- Just saying don't worry...
isn't enough. lt would
be better if you put up...
- at Jagodish's place.
- No, father, he's your friend.
- l'm not known to him at all.
- So what? l've written to him.
Even then you send him a telegram,
l won't go to him.
- lt's a new place. Do your work
sincerely, understood? - Okay.
- Don't commute much by train, son.
- Okay.
l'll leave, father. l'll leave,
aunt. - Come, son come.
- Don't forget to send a telegram
after you arrive. - l won't forget.
There.
Come.
Wow, wonderful. You've got
a nice house.
Got with much difficulty, brother.
- How much?
- Twenty five paisa, sir.
Here.
Oh.
What have you done, Shankar?
Opened a musical instrument
shop at home?
l play these to earn bread.
Else l'll have to beat my stomach.
Now you bathe and eat.
Then have a sound sleep.
Sound sleep is a wonderful thing.
- But l start work today.
- Then what can you do?
l'll arrange all these.
You get ready by then.
- Brother, what's the name of this place?
- Cadell Road.
- Cadell Road. Where is Shivaji Park?
- Nearby. Why?
Father's friend lives there.
l was supposed board there.
- You could have stayed there.
- He's father's friend, not mine.
Tea?
- Hey, Bihari.
- Yes, sir?
- Bring two cups of tea and snacks.
- Yes, sir.
- What's this? They'll beat you.
- When in Rome do as the Romans.
Oh ho, oh ho. Fine.
Wow, the song is wonderful.
Yes, it's fun to have
a gramophone shop near the house.
- Get to hear all the songs, right, sister?
- Yes. Wait, l'll open the window.
Check who's arrived.
in your bungalow
You and l'll live together,
no matter what the people say
No matter what the people say
- Sister, telegram.
- Telegram?
- Yes.
- From whom?
l don't know.
l was late to the office again today.
lf it's so uncomfortable,
why did you accept the job?
What's the use of putting
on weight by sleeping at home?
- When is your college?
- At twelve.
You're having fun.
- Buddhu not going, Ramesh.
- Who is it from?
- ls it bad news?
- Yes, indeed bad news.
- Ramesh's son Buddhu isn't coming.
- Not coming is bad news?
l'm relieved. Otherwise l'd
have to toil in the kitchen.
l'm already dying
with joint pain.
Look, look at your mother's histrionics.
Buddhu isn't coming. lsn't it bad news?
Of course it's bad news.
Of course.
- Hey. - What?
- Who's Buddhu?
l don't know.
Of course he is Buddhu (fool).
Otherwise, why have
such a stupid name?
Damn it!
Oh my God. So soon it's ten thirty.
lt's not the clock's fault.
lt's right on time.
You're having fun. The people
who don't need to go to the office...
they're fortunate. My bag!
l need to hurry as well, brother.

for the song rehearsal soon.
Go, go, don't be late.
Will you be able to get to Churchgate?
Yes... yes, you told me.
Get off at Churchgate...

- Mr. Kumar, look here please.
- Oh yes.
Come, come, Shankar.
You came so early morning for rehearsal.
What's wrong?
- But l have, l've come on time.
- That is unpunctual.
You must be late.
Say you had to visit other places first.
Then they'll think you're important.
l'm not important yet..
Come, come, come.
- Greetings, Mr. Nepali.
- Greetings. - Greetings.
What's that, brother? Two gramophones
playing at the same time?
Editing is going on.
- Meaning?
- Alteration going on.
- l don't understand.
- l'm copying another's song.
lt requires great skill.
- lf you don't get caught.
- There's no harm even if l'm caught.
These days no one
wants the original stuff.
And moreover now l have
eighteen movies in hand.
Where's the time
to think so much?
So you're working by dozens?
- lndeed, indeed.
l had been doing functions
for free means in repentence.
Recently one of my movies
became a hit.
- Now the market is mine.
- Yes, indeed.
- You've composed a tune for my song?
- l've got a new idea.
Modern song means mixture.
At the beginning a folk tune.
This is so unique.
That's what's popular.
Give the harmonium, fast.
Play the tabla. (musical instrument)
Oh my friends, don't
come with me today
My Lord is calling with the flute
- My friends.
- My friends
Aha, wonderful. All right,
all right.
Oh my friends, don't
come with me today
My Lord is calling with the flute
lt's all right.
Fine.
My Lord is calling with the flute
- The magical flute is playing.
- No, no, no, no.
lt's not like that, it's not
like that. Here it's poetic.
Here l have put a twist.
So it has to be like that.
lt'll be like this, like this.
Come on, start.
One, two, three, four.
The magical flute is playing
Destroying everything,
the magical flute is playing
- Playing.
- Playing
The magical flute is playing
Destroying everything, the
magical flute is playing
- l will give... - No, no, no, no,
this part will be devotional.
l will give all.
l will give all
Say the next line.
Say the next line.
- ln devotion, in devotion.
- ln devotion, in devotion
- Keep repeating.
- ln devotion, in devotion
Shame, shame, shame.
l don't understand
- What do you want.
- l want everything, everything.
Starting with folk song,
then poetic song...
finally the devotional song.
l want everything.
Modern song means mixture.
Open the bottle, pour it,
and it's gone.
- But can't l sing as l want?
- Of course you can.
But only after you become famous.
Come come. The condition in which
the country is today...
- any person can...
- lndeed, indeed.
- You proceed.
- Better, better.
Hello. Yes, it's me.
Was late due to rehearsal.
Are you going there?
l'll be waiting. Don't be late.
You go. l'll be along.
- Oh. You got so late?
- The rehearsal was going on.
- l've got in the company
of a mad man. - Mad?
- Really mad. First he wants this.
Then he wants that. - Oh.
So what could be done? You have
to struggle a little, at first.
- Did you get support from home?
- No.
- Did you write a letter yourself?
- l asked brother to.
Oh.
- Have you told them at home?
- No. l will today.
Well, Gita, you never wanted
to know about my family?
l came to know you. But you weren't
interested in my family, either.
l'll marry you, not your family.
And then the doors of my
house are closed for me.
- Everything will be all right.
- Nothing will happen.
Since l entered into movies,
there are no relations with home.
lt got worse, after they learned
l'm marrying a girl of my choice.
You could have married
a girl of their choice.
Then you would have had
a beautiful lovely wife.
- And that would've been better?
- Yes.
Well then, you also
marry a handsome boy.
The boy l'll marry,
seems very handsome to me.
And the girl l'll marry,
seems very beautiful to me.
Then l would have known,
you really love me.
- l love you? Who told you that?
- Aha. Then who do you love?
- Who do l love?
- Who?
Magical playful deer
in the forest
The one who gives rise
to sweet dreams...
why should l capture
it for no reason?
Put your wishes away.
l will fill my heart...
with the tune of the function
for no reason
Magical playful deer
in the forest
There will be lightning
in the wind of the monsoon
The sky will become overcast with clouds
The heart will get restless
for no reason
l will ask to be away, and will tie
a string of separation in secret
That bond will be free of
any bondage for no reason
Magical playful deer
in the forest
The one who gives rise
to sweet dreams...
why should l capture
it for no reason?
Sorry. Thank you. Damn!
- Tea for you, sir.
- Oh, give me. Give me.
- Today you gave up dhoti and
put on pants, sir. - What?
- l wear pants everyday.
- No, no, sir, don't joke with me.
Joke? Oh yes, understood. Look,
l am Buddhu. - Buddhu.
- Hey, sir l am Buddhu.
- Look, man, my name is Buddhu and...
Your name is Buddhu. l'm going, sir.
Look. Hey, Shankar
make him explain.
What happened, Buddhu?
- Bihari, we are brothers.
- Brothers.
Brothers. Elder or younger?
- Elder.
- Elder?
Bihari, younger.
- Younger?
- No elder.
- Elder?
- Bihari, younger.
- Elder.
- Elder, elder, younger.
- Bihari, elder.
Wait, wait, wait, don't
get me confused.
From now on l'll call you Mr.
Dhoti and you, you...
l'll call you Mr. Pants.
Oh God, everything is so messy here.
- So, brother new job. How is it?
- Don't ask about the job.
- The job was about to go today.
- Why?
What why?
Because of your Bombay bus.
- Bus?
- Yes, yes, bus.
lf the bus comes the
turn doesn't come.
lf the turn comes
then a girl comes.
- Girl? - Girl. That's why
l was told in the office...
You are too early for tomorrow.
l see. So you were late
because of a girl? - Yes, for a girl.
And she's not any ordinary girl.
She laughs like this.
And looks like this.
And walks like this.
Well, finally you got settled.
Don't be nervous.
At first one has to bear
a couple of blows.
This isn't a flat race.
lt's a hurdle race.
- You speak like a learned man.
- l'm much experienced in this.
lt's time for me to retire.
You retired, sir.
Salute, sir. Salute.
So you heard everything, Rita.
Now tell me, what shall l do?
Mother has to be told
about the marriage.
- But who will tell her?
- lt's your marriage so, l'll have to.
Come on, go to sleep.
l'll tell her tomorrow.
l am sitting in wait, singing
the song of monsoon.
- As much as l think...
- Hey, what is it you can't forget?
You know, sister?
Today l was running late for work...
so l jumped ahead of a man
to enter the bus.
Oh my. On reaching the office,
l see that man...
has been transferred into our office.
Very funny man. Sometimes he
recognizes me and fumes in anger.
Sometimes he pretends not,
and hangs his head like this.
- Very foolish.
- The matter is serious.
- Hey listen, what should l do?
- Forget it.
lf l start hearing,
the night will fly.
The start is dangerous.
lt takes time to forget.
Now go to sleep.
The sky started showering nectar
The whole mad world is
drowning in the rays
Wow, the song is so nice.
Today you'll find everything nice.
Look Rauma's mother.
Whatever l give the cook he'll ruin.
l don't like this.
- Mother.
- What?
- Mother.
- Say what you want to say.
Rauma's mother, give this to the cook.
Tell him to cook it well.
l was saying, sister likes someone,
and wants to marry him.
She chose herself?
So what does the boy do?
- He sings. - Sings. Skilled boy.
So how much does he earn?
l just told you, he sings for
records, for radio, for cinema.
He sings for cinema?
Humph, l know how good a boy he is.
- Father.
- Yes?
- Father, sister wants to marry.
- That's good, very good.
lt's very happy news.
- But, mother doesn't agree.
- What? What a problem.
- lt's very difficult, dear.
- So what can be done?
Your father has only one head,
and you know your mother.
- There's no hope.
- And father?
- No room. no room.
- l'm with her, with her.
- Ticket?
- Churchgate.
- The balance?
- Gave you two tickets, right?
- Two tickets?
- One for her.
Oh, yes, yes.
- Ticket please.
- Last stop.
- He bought your ticket.
- Who? - That gentleman.
Listen, l mean if l hadn't,
l'd have been late.
- Please don't mind.
- No, l don't mind.
l'm Kumar Chaudhary.
And you're Ms...
Not Ms., Rita Devi.
Oh, that means Mrs.?
No, no, l don't like being addressed
as Ms in the English style.
Oh. Say that, l thought that...
- So you had thought
about me before this? - Yes.
- What?
- l mean no, l mean yes.
No means yes.
Yes means should l, Mister?
- Look, again, again mister...
- Oh, l shouldn't say that? Fine.
No, no, of course you may.
Say a hundred times,
thousand times, million times.
- l understood. We'll be late
today also, come. - Come.
Hands like lotus, Ah ha, ha...
- l see you'll ruin the company, Tarun.
- Brother, l'm in big trouble.
Why, what happened now?
Look, is it hands like
lotus or gifted feet?
Hand like lotus means
a slap, understand?
- And gifted feet means kick.
- Kick?
l see your job is at risk.
- No, no nothing, l didn't mind
anything, Mr... - Again, Mr.?
l'll say Mr. only.
- Then it's fine.
-You weren't late today, right?
- You saved me.
This is already on,
many chapters to come.
- Chapters?
- Yes.
- Brother, more chapters will come?
- What do you mean by 'will come'?
This is just the beginning.
- 0h yes, Madam?
- Shivaji Park.
- Your ticket is paid.
- Who? - That lady.
- Listen, you paid my ticket.
- lt wasn't unjust at all.
- Why? - Do you know, 'fire, enemy
and debt shouldn't be forgotten'?
- Okay, greetings.
- Greetings.
Listen, which way are you going?
- Most likely, different from yours.
- Oh.
- And you?
- Most likely, different from yours.
Mother is very stubborn.
What should l do?
What should l say?
l'm helpless as well.
- Let's go somewhere else.
- That can't be done, Gita.
lf we go somewhere else,
l'll have to look for another job.
But you'll certainly get a job.
You really know music.
l do know. That's why l'm
scared l won't find one.
- Why? - These days real
things have no value.
- Then? - Then, both of us will
have to try our best.
l don't know what will happen.
But l'll wait for you.
- You?
- Do l have to tell you? Don't you know?
- Greetings. Did you mind?
- No, no, no, l didn't mind at all.
- You are Ms...
- No. Rita Devi.
- What, that means Mrs?
- No...
l don't like to be addressed
as Ms in the English style.
Very good, very good.
But buying my ticket wasn't unjust at all.
Of course not. Certainly not.
Not at all.
From now on, you buy
my ticket every day.
Understand, Rita Devi?
Hey, Rita Devi.
Go away, Mr. Kumar.
A little glimpse at a blink.
A little glimpse at a blink
lf it happens a little more,
what's the harm?
lf the day passes away
by sitting side by side...
and share the emotions,
what's the harm?
lt feels good to reply to the
mischief of a sweet smile
Let the days pass away
by filling up the heart...
with sweet dreams, what's the harm?
A little glimpse at a blink,
if it happens...
a little more, what's the harm?
lf the day passes away
by sitting side by side...
and share our feelings,
what's the harm?
Now that suddenly we got
introduced on the way...
if the hesitation goes
away it will be good
While pretending to avoid,
she gets caught...
by the gestures,
only by the gestures.
lf my heart swings
with the excitement...
of getting something,
what's the harm?
A little glimpse at a blink,
if it happens...
lf it happens a little more,
what's the harm?
lf the day passes away
by sitting side by side...
and share our feelings,
what's the harm?
- Playing with puppets?
- No, playing with fire.
You know, Shankar,
l was introduced to that girl.
Suddenly both met one day.
Suddenly both got
introduced one day.
Suddenly both fell in love one day.
And someone suddenly got
separated one day.
- What's the matter? You look upset.
- No, nothing.
Gita, that man is very clever.
What, your opinion changed
in just one day?
- A girl's heart, what a strange thing.
- Ah, listen to me.
Today when buying the ticket
on the bus the conductor said...
he'd bought the ticket for me.
Oh my. When l turned around
l saw the fool...
waving my ticket. l was stunned.
- Then? - Later l came to know
he got into the bus by lying.
Then he was so keen
on asking for forgiveness, Gita.
Forgiving is the best policy.
Certainly you forgave him?
What to do?
l had to forgive him finally.
l had to. Everyone is very clever
before falling in love.
But after falling in love,
one becomes a moron.
Just like you, l guess?
Damn. No, there's no shirt worth
wearing. Have to buy some.
lt happens during the first days
after getting this disease.
lt never feels that the dressing
up is as the heart wishes.
But later, when one's more experienced
one manages even in torn clothes.
One manages. Am l thinking
of new clothes for that?
There isn't a single one
worth wearing, that's why.
Yes indeed. Just these few shirts.
These can't be worn.
But who'll pack them up?
- Bring the person who'll pack them.
- l'll give you a punch.
Wait, wait. lf you go buy new clothes
now you'll be late for work.
l'll go and buy.
Thank you.
- Here you are, mister. l mean...
- No need to mean anything.
- Then what should l say?
- No need to say anything.
Here, your color box,
stencil, eraser.
- But why are you so angry?
- Uncivilized.
- What, who?
- Who else, that same man.
Outside the office he pretends
he doesn't know me.
- Oh, hurt ego?
- What nonsense.
l'll leave. l'll be late for work.
Minus four thousand two
hundred, the remaining...
- Please explain to me.
- What shall l explain?
- l can't do it.
- What is it?
- l don't know.
- What don't you know?
- Leave.
- For where, how far?
How far will you take me,
beautiful girl?
Where would l get your
golden company?
Wonderful. Wonderful, dear.
Two thousand five hundred...
Listen, dear. Explain nicely.
Explain to her nicely.
But, Keshavda l don't understand
anything at all.
- You don't understand? - No.
- You'll understand very well.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
Hey! How come only one?
Where's the other one?
- Other one?
- Here comes the other one.
- Brother? - You don't understand,
it's ego chapter?
The lady has an ego problem.
Oh my friends,
don't come with me today
My Lord is calling
with the flute
Okay.
- So, what's the news, brother?
- Yes, all's good.
- Satish, who sang the song?
- A new boy. - l see.
- Stishda, how was it?
- You sang very well, Shankar.
Only you say so.
No one else says.
- Who said no one else?
- Of course. The biggest proof is...
my pocket is empty like a field.
Well, let me introduce.
This is the producer, Mr. Poddar.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
And the director, Mr. Mukherjee.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
- Your song was very nice.
- Very good.
l'm considering you
for our next movie.
- You're considering means?
- lt means l'll give you...
- a chance in our next movie.
- Are you kidding me?
No, no why should we?
- No l mean, it's the matter
of movie... - No, no.
Come and see me in
the studio tomorrow.
- So, you got it.
- Greetings.
- Listen. Listen.
- Are you calling me?
- Why should l call you?
- But you said 'listen'?
- But not to you.
- You didn't mention any name...
so 'listen' applies to me also.
- What to say?
- Brother?
- Vinnie, vittie, vissie.
- Meaning?
- Came, saw, made it vanish.
- Whom, brother?
The whole family, dear,
the whole family.
The whole family?
You're strange, as if you don't
recognize me today.
- Me or you?
- You, of course.
Pretending as if you
don't know me at all.
- Strange, did l pretend?
- Yes.
lt's difficult to understand your moods.
l'm always in a good mood.
Forgive me if l've made any mistake.
- Do you understand?
- No, brother.
Sinking, sinking drinking water.
Sinking, sinking drinking
water means what?
Going on under cover, going
on under cover, understand?
- What?
- Come.
You remain lost in a
book day and night.
Oh my, the window is still open.
l've said so many times
to close the window...
before sleeping at night,
but who cares.
When you catch cold
then l'll have to suffer.
l asked Gita to get married.
She said she wouldn't.
- Hey, do you hear me?
- Yes, yes, yes.
She's started painting and
is staying awake all night.
- Good, good. - What's good?
You spoiled them by pampering.
- Who?
- Who else, your daughters.
Rita started working at
the office so desperately...
as if there's no food
to eat at home.
- Will you marry them off or not?
- Why?
What why? These days the boys
and girls have started...
- to fall in love before marriage.
- Who?
- Who else, your daughter, daughter.
- Which one?
Ah, you're so irritating.
Gita, my dear Gita.
Now it's the elder one.
Don't be surprised by
anything in this field.
- Six of my movies have flopped.

filled with sweet dreams
- Hey where're the beats?
- Beats?
- Yes. - This is a sad song,
meaning sorrowful.
Stop it, boy. These days beats
are needed even to cry.
The heroines these days dance
while crying. Don't you know?
Well, listen to my scene.
Suppose we film it from above,
a big bang along with the camera.
Will charge with a zoom.
This sad crying won't do.
This is the age of speed, boy.
Age of speed, age of speed.
Listen, the other song you sang

But that's a comedy tune.
Absolutely right. Play that
tune. lt will be very nice.

Yes, right. Sing.
As many days l get in this life,

Then, then we... Romeo and Juliet.

Bhagwan.
- So are we going?
- Will it be right?
- Why won't it be right?

Go to the jungles of Africa,
the deserts of Arabia...
to the mountains of Tibet,
Bengalis are everywhere.
- Come.
- l too have change of ten rupees.

Bengalis in a foreign land may just walk

Welcome. Come, come, come, come.
- Come, come, come.
- Greetings.
Kanai, give him change
for ten rupees.
Ten into hundred, thousand paisa, sir?
Yes, new or old, everything will do.

- What a trouble, explosion.
- Absolutely.
- Explosion.

No, no, why take my
picture all of a sudden?
- Kanai.
- Get ready, sir.
Get ready sir means?
You must be thinking, sir,
that we take bad pictures.
We used to work in films.
- Yes. - They don't pay
for work we do, sir.
When we go to ask for money
we become monkeys or dogs.
That's why we wondered
why work for them.
- So we left for good.
- One minute, sir.
Yes, make it fast, don't be slow.
Here we have
everything ready instantly.
Come, come, you come.
Come. Come, come.

Yes, Kanai.

- You're too much, dear.
- What did you say? What?
You're too much, mister.
- 'Dear' sounds better, understand?
- Understood. Well, what's the
time now? - Seven thirty.
Well, if we hadn't met
in the bus that day?
Then this 'dear' wouldn't
have been said.
- Okay, let me drop you.
- l beg of you, don't ever do that.
- Why?
- Because my mother's home.
- Yes, yes.
- My mother's feet are in this age...
but her head is in the past.
- And her daughter?
- Her daughter?
What's the need to read
the end at first?
- Greetings.
- Come, come.
Here, poet Shankar

- No corn but it's called...
- Unicorn.
No loon but it's called pantaloons.
- Pantaloons, what's this?
- Song.
Song? lmpossible. A tune can't
be made on these lines.
You should know the public
these days is fickle.
They won't accept it
unless there's a song like this.
Who said they won't?
They accept quality products all the time.
You people are selling bad products
and ruining their taste in music.
Look, mister, we know only money.
We didn't start in this business
for charity. Don't you agree?
You must agree.
Otherwise we'll hire someone else.
- Yes, do that. - ls this good? Throw
away the first chance of your life?
Yes. The first chance is important.
But l may have some
principles as well.
Principles. Listen, kid,
we also had principles.
l've lasted for twenty-five years.
What have l done yet?
Six of my movies flopped.
But l'm still standing here.
But the one who doesn't have any
principles... - Principles.
Would you lick those
principles for food?
- Make an impression first.
- lmpression?
- Yes. - First make your mark
Then dictate to us.
- We'll accept with bowed heads.
- Excuse me.
Think over it again.
- Where's the rehearsal room?
- Over there, sir.
- You wait here. l'll call brother.
- Okay.
- Think it over. - l have already.
l can't do all these. Greetings.
- What?
- Now what?
l'm thinking.
- Hey Buddhu, you're here?
- There's something very important.
l'll introduce you to that girl.
Can you get off?
- l've got off forever, l gave
up the job. - What? Why?
lt's a long story.
l'll tell you at home.
Stop being crazy.
First tell me about it. Come.
- All crazy stuff.
- Now, tell me what's the matter.
What could be the matter? No corn
but it's called a unicorn.
Can a tune be made for this line?
lmpossible. l left the job.
Oh come on.
You quit because of that?
What's the value of honesty
in this world?
Wherever you look,
you'll see only compromise.
What have you done?
- ldea, give me your clothes.
- Clothes, why?
Wearing your clothes
l'll become Shankar...
while you sit here quietly
being Kumar.
Well, does being an artist
simply mean being sentimental?
What? Yes, if it happens
to be a real artist.
l won't give up. You'll
get what you want.
That's like my boy. Good boy!
No corn but it's called a unicorn.
No loon but
it's called pantaloons.
No corn but it's called unicorn.
No loon but it's called pantaloons
Burns the skin, stunned moo, moo,
right, right, right, right
Put a pinch of snuff in the nose.
Then drink a mug of yoghurt
You'll get tickling sneezing, sneezing
Put the shoes on both feet.
Then go walking to Agra
You'll find Jaamtola, Aamtola,
Neemtola on the way
No, no this isn't a joke.
Have a stomach full of slapping
Eat raw banana, ear twisting
as much as you wish
Tock, tock, tock, tock
goes the horse cart
How far is Baghdad
Mecca from here?
Burns the skin, stunned moo, moo,
right, right, right, right
No corn but it's called unicorn.
No loon but it's called pantaloons
Plumb Bishu Nandi
makes plans day and night
He talks big, big, huge,
huge, large, large
Strong short Bodka
chews betel leaf with tobacco
Only cartwheel, rowdiness,
hooliganism goes on
lf the girl of this house gets upset,
the boy of that house smiles
Burns the skin, stunned moo, moo,
right, right, right, right
No corn but it's called unicorn.
No loon but it's called pantaloons
l had to do all this even after
being born in your country.
Forgive me.
What you did was unbelievable.
- Come on.
- You were so late?
Brother is very busy. l'll introduce him
to you later. Come.
- Father. - l'm not able to see properly.
Turn on the light.
Yes. Come on, massage my hand.
- Father.
- What?
- Why are you looking at the clock?
- l want to go to the movies.
- So go.
- But mother?
Oh yes. Your mother scolds
you two a lot, doesn't she, dear?
You go. l'll handle it.
l'll say l had you run an errand.
- Gita. Hey Gita.
- Oh my, l'm finished!
- Greetings, sir.
- Greetings.
- There's a letter for you.
- Letter, from whom?
- Mr. Shankar.
- Oh ho. Go.

Don't worry about me. - l won't worry.
Ticket, tonight's show?
Must be Shankar's.
- Mr. Pants, tea for you.
- Yes, yes, give me.
- Mr. Dhoti isn't at home?
- No.
Look, he has this movie ticket
and got stuck at work today.
- Then you go in his place, Mr. Pants.
- Me? No, no, l don't like sad films.
The money will be wasted.
You shoud go.
- lt's a very nice English movie.
- English movie?
Then it's useless, sir.
lf it was Hunterwali
l'd go for sure.
- Now, you should go.
- Okay then, l'll go.
Take this.
- Looking very nice.
- Give me.
Look, look.
Take this.
Look, that's the girl. Come with me.
Nowadays, it's difficult
to know by the face...

- Don't you recognize me?
- lf l ever see you again...
doing all this, l'll call
the police, understand?
- Bengali?
- Yes.
l'm Bengali as well.
Here l am Kishan Chandra.
Actually, l'm Shri Keshto Chandra.
- So what should l do about that?
- No, no nothing, nothing.
But you know what? lt's better to keep
private matters confined to the home.
The police are as same as tigers.
- How surprising.
- Nothing is surprising about women.
No, no, l can't bear
all those tantrums.
- Ah, what a problem.
- Big problem.
These days, there are
female police as well.
lf l ever see you again,
then l'll call the police, understand?
He avenged me.
What, l've been waiting for you
for so long. Come to eat.
- You go, l won't eat.
- What's happened?
- A man shouldn't be trusted.
- What's the matter, sister?
Nothing, you go to eat.
All the things are
so messed up here.
Hey you.
Where are you going early morning?
- What are you asking, mother?
- Where are you going?
- To the office. - To office? To office
at eight in the morning?
There's new work at the office
that must be completed.
So you've done a favor for us.
So where will you eat?
- Eat? Over there. Over there.
- Over there?
- Yes. - Very well. Then take your
bed and luggage to stay there.
- Mother, l mean...
- No need to mean anything.
Go wherever you're going.
Return early.
- l thought you wouldn't come.
- How could l come earlier?
Already everyone asked why
l was leaving for work so early.
- But today we aren't going to the office.
- l know that.
- But that can't be said at home.
- What did you say at home?
What else should l say? l had to
lie so much because of you.
- l said, there's a lot of work
at the office. - Very good.
- Have some puffed rice.
- Well, where should we go now?
- Wherever our feet take us.
- lt'll be fun.
Today we'll move around
the whole day. Come on.
- Give me my picture.
- No, no, you won't get this.
This is mine. This is yours.
Only the picture is yours,
or the actual person as well?
- Both. - What are you looking
at so anxiously?
- lt'll be over in a couple of days.
- No.
Just wanting a little
and getting a little
Let my song become sweet
for that excitement
As the river comes,
to meet the blue sea
As the land meets
the sky at the horizon
Being near to you becomes
sweet like that tune
Just wanting a little
and getting a little
Let my song become sweet
for that excitement
l don't know to where we floated...
or how far we both want to get lost
How far can we go before
this golden rope reaches its end?
Just wanting a little
Let the time float away
in this dream land
The south wind will write
the lyrics to a new song
Being near to you becomes
sweet like that
Just wanting a little
and getting a little
Let my song become sweet
for that excitement
l say, what's happened
in this modern era?
Now girls are coming home late, too,
like the boys, eh?
l ask, where were you so late
at night? Where were you?
- Office.
- The office?
l ask, does the office go
on till evening these days?
ls this what is called
coming home early?
Mother, l mean, a lot of
work has come. That's why.
To hell with such work.
As if there's no food at home
and that's why you got a job.
l'm telling you, you must return
by three beginning tomorrow...
whether you have office or not.
Oh ho, ho, my, my.
l'm dying of joint pain.
Oh my, my, these girls are
making my life a living hell.
Shall l commit suicide or what?
Fine, wonderful.
lt must be noted down.
Wonderful? As is the father,
so are the daughters.
- What happened?
- What happened?
The girl came back home now,
so late, so l asked where she was.
- She said the office.
- Office at night?
That's what l came to tell you.
You don't care about anything.
What should l do, tell me.
Should l go and shut down the office?
Who's asking you to close the office?
l've been telling you
to get the girl married.
- Else she'll get spoiled like Gita.
- Okay, that will be done.
- lt'll be done?
- Yes.
Are the grooms some fruit,
hanging on trees all around?
What's wrong? Mother's shouting so much.
Mother gets angry over anything.
Why did she raise us this way?
You know how mother is, Rita.
Stay quiet. What could you do?
Look, could you draw a picture
from this photo?
- Yes, why not?
- But have to return this tomorrow.
- Whose photo is it? - That same,
very foolish, very clever man.
Let me see, let me see.
- Hey, do you have a cigarette?
- ln the coat pocket.
- Buddhu.
- Yes?
Who is it you've
put in your pocket?
- What did you say? - l mean where have
you placed the one in your pocket?
So you saw it.
ln the temple of my heart.
- Very nice. - lt's very obvious.
She doesn't veil her face.
- That day there was a girl
at the cinema. - A girl?
- Not just a girl, a dangerous girl.
- What are you saying?
Yes. She said l was looking
very nice, and leaned over me.
- l guarded my pocket.
- All the girls find only you.
You did this?
You both are dear to me.
l'll move out of your way.
l'll move away.
Those days gone by call me back
As if love paints a picture
with the painful colors of my heart
l recall, l recall
l recall that memory
of our first meeting
l recall that time of exchanging hearts
Two different paths of two
different people...
united and became a new path
The days were so musical
in a new land
That tune cries, in my life.
lt's broken, alas it's broken
ln the fair of sweet meeting...
today that game of laughter
and colors has come to end
The sky never remembers when each star...
broke and
scattered down
Those days gone by call me back
As if love paints a picture
with the painful colors of my heart
- Hey.
- Yes?
- Did you paint all night long?
- Yes.
- Wow, it's wonderful! ls it finished?
- A little bit more.
l placed an advertisement
in the newspaper for...
a suitable groom for your
daughter, understand?
l understand perfectly.
Have you lost your mind or what?
- Why? - lf it's a house wanted,
situation wanted, then it's okay.
But how can a groom be found
from an ad in the paper?
Ah, you don't understand.
l'm a professor.
l teach the boys, not kidnap them.
Humph, l know how valuable you are.
Listen, listen, listen.
How about writing a letter
to Ramesh?
l've heard his son is well educated,
and has a good job as well.
- Who's Ramesh? - The one who was
supposed to come and stay with us.
Maybe write to him?
lf it should be written,
why aren't you writing?
- All right, then l'll write
a letter to him. - Humph.
Oh my. That's all.
Your dear friend Jagadish.
Sister! Sister! Here's a marriage
proposal for your beloved nephew.
For Buddhu? From where?
My friend Jagadish.
Jagadish wants to marry his daughter
to our Buddhu.
Then don't delay. Get the
marriage arranged before l die.
- Well, how does the girl look?
- l saw her once in childhood.
Well, she must be good looking.
Our Jagadish is a good looking man.
But l don't understand
which of his daughters he's written for.
One of them draws pictures.
The other one passed her BA.
Oh my. Then l'll have to learn
English at this old age.
- So what's your opinion?
- What's the need of my opinion on this?
Ask him to send a picture of the girl.
We need Buddhu's opinion.
- After all, he's a modern boy.
- What's the value of his opinion?
What does he know about marriage?
He's never been married.
At least we've married once.
- So then l'll write that to Jagadish.
- Yes, yes.
lf you keep doing like this,
it won't do.
Where's the bed sheet?
How would l know
where the bed sheet is?
First, you come after one whole month.
Moreover, if you keep losing
things all the time, how will that do?
- No, no. - 'No, no' my foot.
lf you do so l'll deduct money.
- No don't, please. - No need for
'No don't, please'. Get lost.
Dear. Dear? l've arranged.
l've arranged your marriage.
My marriage? Have you gone mad?
You've lost your mind in your old age.
lf you wish, you get married.
Shame, shame, shame, shame.
Not yours, your daughter's
marriage has been arranged.
- So tell me what he wrote.
- Well Ramesh...
has written he has no objection.
So, will you marry both
to the same man?
- Meaning? - Meaning will you
get both married to the same boy?
What about Gita?
Will be, will be done
one after the other,
- One by one, my dear.
- Disgusting.
Oh God, now let Gita
get settled as well.
l'm in the same situation.
Father has written a letter.
He wants to get me married
to the daughter of his friend.
l don't know her.
How can l marry her?
l don't know, either.
But how to stop the marriage?
- Now l must think.
- l'm also thinking.
- What to do?
- Let's see what happens.
l've sent a letter to father
saying l won't marry.
- But, l can't send a letter
to mother. - What?
- What is to happen will happen.
- Yes, there's no point in thinking.
A little glimpse at a blink.
lf it happens a little more...
what's the harm?
With the dreams...
- What? Who is it?
- Telegram.
Telegram?
Sign here.
'Aunt seriously ill, come sharp.'
Aunt seriously ill.
Shankar, aunt is,
very seriously ill.
- Father, how is aunt?
- Hey Buddhu, when did you come?
- How are you, son?
- What is this, aunt? You were ill?
Would you have come
if l hadn't written l was sick?
- But the telegram?
- You stopped writing after the marriage talk...
so we had to send a telegram.
Your marriage is finalized, Buddhu.
What are you thinking so much?
You have a job, the girl
is cultured and attractive.
Get married before l die, son.
- lf you insist, what can l say?
- Live long, son, live long.
Buddhu. Hey Buddhu. Buddhu,
come to eat, son.
Hey Buddhu. Buddhu, whom are
you thinking about, dear?
Buddhu, are you asleep, son?
Hey Buddhu.
- My whole body is in pain.
- What are you saying?
- l'm dying.
- No, no, my boy, no, my boy.
With marriage in the cards,
now you fall ill?
- Whose marriage?
- Don't say that. Rauma. Hey Rauma.
Well, l'll go and tell. Hey Rauma,
do you hear? Rauma.
- Shankar. Shankar.
- Shankar will come, son.
Bhola, check properly, brother.
My poor fellow
has gone pale overnight.
No, no he doesn't have a fever.
Kumar, let me check your belly.
What are you doing?
what are you doing?
- Let me check, let me check.
- Uuuh.
- Come on, lift the leg.
- Uuuh. Uh, uh.
The head aches, the stomach
aches, the legs ache.
l can't diagnose it for a day or two.
- Ramesh, it's either appendicitis
or else gallstones. - Gladstone.
There are roads and parks
named after important people.
Are there diseases as well?
Yes, but not Gladstone.
lt's gallstone, understand?
That's the younger brother.
Shankar.
No fever, but Delirium.
What a disaster! Ramesh, write Shankar
to come immediately.
How could you manage all alone?
What's the need to call
Shankar for all this?
Very much needed. Don't you see he's
shouting Shankar repeatedly?
Moreover, fights should be forgotten
during troubled times.
lt's needed to call Shankar.
- That's okay but his address... - Number 13,
Churchgate Cadell road, Shankar.
How did you learn
his address? Very fishy.
No fever but Delirium,
but completely in his senses.
Ramesh, you come with me.
l'll write the prescription.
Bhola, give him good medicine, brother.
Going to your house is restricted.
But you shouldn't go there, either.
l thought to go there again tomorrow.
But just now l received
a telegram from home.
lt's urgent.
l'm leaving right away.
On receiving this letter come
to that place. l have much to tell you.
lt feels now we'll both get
what we've desired.
The boy is handsome, well educated,
and has a good job.
Now, you don't throw
any tantrums, dear.
Yes, resign from your
job this very day.
- What, is it that same Buddhu?
- Buddhu, Buddhu, Buddhu.
l know very well what kind of boy
he'll be, one whose name is Buddhu.
l'll marry that boy, my foot.
Husband, Buddhu.
Come on, Buddhu. - l won't.
- Drink it. Good boy, drink it.
- lt tastes horrible.
- How will you be cured?
Drink it. Good boy.
- Oh my God, you spat it out.
- Give me water, give me water.
Oh my, there's no water. Wait, wait.
l'll bring water.
Give me water. Water, water.
Doctor Bhola, doctor Bhola...
Hey Rauma, where are
you all? Bring water.
You're all useless.
Do l have to say everything?
A patient should always have water.
Don't you even know that much?
Coca Cola, Coca cCola.
Yes, yes, l'm bringing
water right away.
All useless. ls there any
meaning to this nonsense.
lt's getting late, give me. Go.
- Bring quickly.
- Here l come, son.
Give me water, give me water,
give me water.
- Take. - Give me the medicine.
Give the medicine.
- Take.
- Give.
Hey, hey what are you doing?
You'll choke!
Don't drink so much at once.
Don't drink, Buddhu!
Don't drink so much at one go.
l'll be cured immediately.
My God, l'm unable to
manage this boy.
Look what he's doing.
Come on, sleep now.
Oh my. Are you okay?
Did something go wrong?
- l'm very fine.
- Now sleep. My goodness.
Okay, you relax, l have a lot
of work pending, okay?
Will you be fine? l'm going, okay?
- Look how crazy this boy is.
He drank all the medicine. - Aunt.
Hey Shankar, after so many days,
son, you remembered.
- Look what has happened to Buddhu.
- How are you, Buddhu?
l'm dying. l'm dying.
You left home over a marriage,
and he fell ill.
Okay, you be seated.
l'll finish my bath and return.
- l have to tell you many things.
l'll do it later, okay? - Okay.
l'll leave. You be seated.
- Close the door.
- Why?
Close it, l say.
- Give me a cigarette.
- l thought you were sick?
Oh l'll tell you later.
Do you have a cigarette?
- Give me. - You'll smoke cigarettes
when you're sick?
l'll tell you. l'll tell you everything.
- Do you have matches?
- So the addiction is still there?
- Yes, yes it is, it is.
- Oh my goodness.
Ah, now l feel relieved, dear, dear.
Listen, listen, no illness no nothing.
Father has fixed my marriage.
l want to stop that marriage.
Oh, so that's why you're ill?
Now don't delay.
Don't you know my case?
l know it very well.
lt's a very difficult case.
A lot of work will be needed.
Do what ever you have to do.
The summary is, just save me, please.
l'll have to manage.
Let me see what father is doing.
Don't say anything to Shankar now.
Okay, l wont, but l'm saying
no marrying any artists.
Aha, l'm saying don't get excited.
l'll convince him later.
- Father?
- l'll finish my work and return.
Come, come, come.
Son, you both made me anxious.
You're obssessed
with an artist girl...
and won't give up unless
you marry her.
And the other one
didn't agree at first...
even if he agreed after so
much persuasion. Now he's fallen ill.
Tell me, what's the reason
for refusing the marriage?
He has a a job, has a house.
The girl is no less,
and is also educated.
Here, look at her photo. Now tell me,
what is there to reject?
But yes, if you're so stubborn
you won't marry your parents' choice...
then that's different.
Don't worry about it. l'll make
him agree. You arrange the marriage.
- What did father say? - He showed
me the picture of your future wife.
- Future wife? - See the picture once.
You might like it.
- But l didn't like her.
- Forget all that nonsense.
Tell me what you did for
which l sent you?
l tried hard to convince him...
but father is determined
to have you marry that ugly girl.
So you convinced him very well.
Do something. Bring me a rope
so l can hang myself.
You're good for nothing.
Then let me do one thing.
l'll tell father to take you to a good doctor
in Bombay. Then you'll recover quickly.
Brilliant. Just tell me how to
stop the marriage. How?
Why are you getting angry?
Listen, you flee from there
on the marriage day.
You saved me, you saved me.
l can't tolerate that
doctor doing anymore.
You can't, so shall l
say that to father?
Yes, yes, say that. But whatever
you say, do it fast.
l can't bear any more,
brother, not any more.
l can't, l can't, l can't.
Tell mother, l will never
marry that fellow.
Think over it properly. Rita,
does the one you love really love you?
- Yes, yes he really loves me.
- Really loves you?
How do you know
he really loves you?
As everyone comes to know,
as you came to know one day.
l see. l'll tell mother, but l
don't think mother will agree.
l won't do this marriage
under any condition.
No matter what it takes,
you'll have to make her agree.
- But if l can't?
- lf you can't?
- lf you can't, then you'll
lose me forever. - Rita.
- Buddhu? Hey Buddhu?
- Yes?
- Put this on.
- What, what are you doing?
Wear it, son, or you'll
catch cold, wear it.
Can anyone go out wearing
a monkey cap?
Of course. Your father went out
wearing this cap his whole life.
- Now come.
- What a problem.
Come, son come.
So then, father, l would
take Buddhu along.
There's no reason to worry.
l'll bring him for the marriage.
We'd better not say anything
about marriage to him now.
No, no, am l crazy? These days boys
change their minds every minute.
Bring him on the day of marriage.
Then it's decided.
Come, son, come.
Shankar, take care of Buddhu.
Son, he shouldn't catch cold.
Okay.
- Okay then, we'll leave.
- Be safe, be safe.
- Listen, listen.
- What?
Check the list for Rita's marriage.
What shall l check?
l don't understand all this.
No, you won't understand.
The neighbors will understand.
We need to rent a school building.
This house won't be enough.
So do it. Why ask me?
- l'll be late for college.
Don't you understand? - Humph.
Just college, college, college.
- Mother.
- What?
l say, don't force Rita
to get married like this.
To ask her or to force her,
leave that to me.
l mean, she hasn't agreed.
lsn't agreed that's why?
The marriage is arrainged already.
And now she says it isn't?
lf she does something drastic, then?
You people are capable of that,
l don't doubt it.
So does your sister think that
some prince will come...
to marry a crippled fairy like
her? All nonsense requests.
Oh my, my, l forgot
to give the picture.
These days l'm really making
too many mistakes.
- Hey Gita. Gita.
- What?
Dear, l've made a big mistake.
This is Rita's husband.
Give it to your mother.
Hold it, l'm getting late.
You don't worry.
l'll make Rita agree.
But don't say anything to her yet.
Fine, as you wish.
Oh my, l'm dying of
joint pain, dear.
Gita, what did mother say?
Don't worry at all.
Everything will be all right.
- The marriage stopped?
- Yes.
Sister, my dear sister.
- Hello?
- Wrong number.
- Greetings. How are you?
- What happened?
A mistake happened.
- Mr. Keshav.
- Yes?
- Where's Kamala Devi?
- Kamala Devi?
- Hey Tarun.
- Yes brother?
Listen.
Kamala Devi was once his colleague.
Now she's become his wife.
Why are you feeling shy, man?
Do you need something?
No l just haven't seen her.
Oh. So what's the news
about Rita Devi?
Rita Devi, where is she?
- Oh, so it's not you.
- Meaning?
- Did you get a letter?
- Letter?
- Yes, letter, a yellow letter?
- No l didn't.
Rita Devi is going to
become someone's wife.
You didn't get the letter?
We didn't either, sir.
We didn't.
- Hey, Gopi. What's the time, son?
- lt's eight o'clock.
Look at this.
They haven't come yet.
- Where's the priest?
- He's inside.
- So, what is Rita doing?
- She's crying.
Humph, all drama.
After a couple of days...
she won't be able to live
without this same husband.
Where are you going?
Check out the things, dear.
Or l'll wonder how everything
will be managed.
And tell your father to make
the guests comfortable.
Yes, call me during the rituals.
Uh, l'll die of this pain.
What is this? Raise your face,
or the make up will run.
What, are you angry? How long
will you stay angry at me?
- What, won't you talk to me?
- Why did you do this to me?
Don't worry. Everything
will be all right.
You go away from here.
Leave me alone. You go.
Buddhu, what are you
thinking of so much?
l am thinking how easily
people forget.
Who's forgotten?
The one whom l placed in my heart.
- Did she go to someone else's heart?
- That's what l heard.
- Girls shouldn't be trusted.
- Everyone has the same question.
There's no point in thinking about it.
Come, let's go out a little.
- Come, come.
- Where to go?
There's a function
l have to attend. Come.
Take this.
Well, brother Keshav, have you
fallen for someone. l mean...
What, didn't l tell you?
l fell, but not properly
That's why l'm like
a crazy man now.
Stop ahead.
Hey, hey look, brother Keshav.
Brother Keshav.
- What?
- There, mister Kumar.
- Kumar?
- Come, come, come.
Come, let's see.
What is this? lt seems
to be a marriage house.
You said a function.
l guess the matter is...
No, no nothing like that.
The functions here happen to be
like this. Don't be nervous. Come.
Everything is adulterated.
Nothing is original.
Hey Shankar, you people have come.
Well, well, well, well.
But Buddhu is wearing a suit.
Are we Englishmen?
Oh that's a mistake.
He'll change right away.
Hurry up!
Shankar, you trapped me even after
being my brother. Shame!
The barber has come but
the groom is missing.
Hey Ramesh, where is your son?
Here he is, directly from the office.
Oh ho, ho, that's why
the jacket and pants.
How times have changed, Ramesh.
Boys don't even
have time to get married.
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
Now l'll give him the wedding clothes.
But, son your face looks very dull?
Well it's because the whole
day of toiling in the office.
Well, well, come, son come.
Hey you all, the groom's arrived.
The groom has come.
The groom has come.
The groom is here. The groom
has come. The groom is here.
Ah, l'm hurt. l'm hurt!
Take off the clothes. Take off,
take off, take off.
- Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
- Why?
- What happened?
- l'll go there.
- Meaning? - Meaning l'm a little,
a little... - Feeling shy.
- Yes.
- Okay, okay go. A shy groom.
- Wear this, wear this.
- You wear it.
Ran away, the groom ran away.
- Look how l harass him.
- Ran away, ran away.
- Who ran away?
- The groom.
- The groom?
- What?
- What?
- Come, come let's see.
- Come, come. The groom ran away.
- The groom ran away.
Check there. There, there.
What a disaster. What shall l do?
The girls are in that
room. Go sit there.
- Strange that he ran away.
- Who ran away?
lt's a disaster. The groom ran away.
The groom ran away.
Yes, the groom ran away.
Watch out. Speak quietly.
Your aunt can't know.
Go, go, go see where he went.
- Hey.
- What?
- The groom.
- What?
The groom, catch him, catch him.
- Catch him, catch the groom.
Catch him. - There that side.
- There, you go there.
- That way. Go there.
There, he's running.
Catch him, catch him.
There he is. Catch him, catch him.
- Where?
- Hey, he's not here.
- Hey, go that side.
- Where?
- Check out there.
- Let's see.
- That's it.
- Where did he go?
- How could he disappear like that?
- Did you look there?
- Come, come on, fast.
- Hey, hey!
Hey. You'll fall down.
Watch out, watch out.
Go there. There.
- What's this? Why are you here?
- You?
Why, don't you recognize me?
Of course l recognize you.
You're that pickpocket.
- Look, l won't call the police today.
- This is pointless.
- Please leave - Where should l go?
- How should l know?
- Look, there they are, they are.
- Go l say.
- Look l'm in trouble so you...
- Go!
- Oh my God. Hey, hey, hey!
- What happened?
- What happened?
- What happened?
- There, in the window.
- Where? Who's there?
Let me see who it is.
Where? No one's here.
Come on, come on. You all put on
the saris and get ready.
- What happened?
- The groom ran away.
What is this? You're here?
l knew you'd come for me.
Look, look, look,
it's a very big mistake.
- Actually l was going to die, but
you've saved me. - Yes, yes.
- Now you take me away from here
right now. - Look, look.
The one you love isn't me.
- lt's my...
- lt's you. l love only you.
- No.
- Catch him, catch him!
- Look, they're coming to nab me.
- Don't be afraid. l'll close the door.
There he is. Catch him.
- Got you!
- lt's not me, it's not me!
- Here l am, dhoti.
- l'm dhoti. l'm pant.
l, l, l, mean...
- There, there. Catch him.
- Catch him.
- Got you.
- Hey what's happening?
- Don't run, don't run.
- Look, look, you don't understand.
- l do understand, son.
- l'm Shankar.
- Bholanath. - What a problem. Look, l
appear to be... - Just like a prince.
Put him in the wedding clothes.
Why are you standing here?
Come on, hurry up.
- Look, look, it's a very big mistake.
- Mistake?
- Yes.
- l never make mistakes, son.
- This is the actual groom.
- ls it? Then what's this?
- They both look the same. Are they...
- Twins, of course.
Oh ho, ho, ho, ho. Son,
l made a small mistake.
Here, put this on.
l haven't seen such a marriage,
ever in my life, dear.
lf there's a good man,
then move away.
Otherwise she'll eat
up the brains.
Now let them have the first look.
Look at each other.
You?
- Do they know each other?
- Yes, something's fishy.
Am l dreaming or what?
- Get out, get away.
- What are you saying, to whom?
To whom? To you, skilled boy.
- Mother, what are you doing?
- The drama of love, my dear.
- Aha ha ha.
- Don't say anything to him.
Oh my, who is this?
Whatever it is, say it to me.
Oh my, what is this?
Oh Rauma's mother, hold me.
Oh my, what is this? What's
all this? A ghost or what?
Rauma's mother, call my husband.
Send him here immediately.
But still one more is left,
understand, Chatterjee?
- Ghost, ghost.
- What ghost?
- Yes, aunt.
- Aunt ghost.
What happened, dear, what happened?
- What's the matter?
- Look there.
- What did Shankar do?
- He didn't do anything.
- They're twins.
- Twins?
- So you were also deceived, dear.
- You be quiet.
- That boy wanted to marry Gita.
- Oh. Ramesh...
this son of yours wanted
to marry my other daughter.
But my wife refused because
he works in cinema.
That's why l, too,
wasn't on good terms with him.
But, you said you want to
marry some artist girl?
- No l mean...
- My daughter is an artist.
She paints very well, and has
won first prize in exhibitions.
Oh l see. That means
she's not an actress?
How could my daughter
be an actress?
Oh my. Then why didn't
you tell me before now?
You're a first class fool.
Because of this foolishness
l knocked you out of my property.
Won't he get the property now?
Of course, why not?
After all, l'm his father.
That means he'll get the property.
Listen, get Gita married
to this boy.
He knows a little bit of music.
That's good.
So, Ramesh, what's your opinion?
That's fine. The sooner the better.
Mother, then let the marriage
take place on this auspicious occasion.
Rightly said, son rightly said.
Did you see, dear, how l got
both daughters married off?
Yes got them married instantly,
one after the other.
Did you do that, or did it happen
because of my scolding?
- Oh, yes, yes. - Hey you all, start
the celebration. - Yes, yes.
- Gita.
- You? You're here?
- ls the marriage over?
- l was married a long time ago.
- Why did you come here. Go, go away.
- lf l don't go?
l beg of you, go from here.
Don't just stand there. Go.
- What will people say if they see?
- Let them say, what's the harm?
You might not be harmed,
but what about Rita?
Here you are.
l see everyone's involved.
You wicked girl.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
- Come on, give your hand.
- What's this?
No, no, no, no,
nothing can happen now.
Nothing can happen now.
Why not, lady, why not?
Better late than never.
How do you do, pickpocket?
What is this? You both...
Shame, shame, how embarrassing.
- Don't be nervous.
- You're a real fool.
As you say.
Well, so retired lover, extension.
But if the misunderstanding
happens again?
- Then it will be a problem.
- Then let's exchange positions.
- Buddhu.
- Coming, father.
- We'll be late.
- Coming.
l don't remember.
Life is little, little is pain.
Little, little are sorrows.
Certainly very easy and simple.
Thousands of forgotten matters...
are being floated away.
The tears couldn't be explained.
The matters have no problems,
neither essence, nor advice.
Where did it go?
Got them, here.
- Buddhu.
- Father?
- Buddhu.
- Coming.
- Hey Buddhu.
- Yes, father what?
What are you doing?
lt's time for the train.
- l'm absolutely ready, look.
- What's this?
- This is my picture.
- And that one?
lt's mine, too.
Your picture?
This is Shankar's picture.
Where did you get this picture?
- Brother, brother, brother's picture.
- You know he has...
no relation with
this house anymore?
There could have been relations, father...
- if his marriage... You...
- You would certainly say that.
After all, he's your twin brother.
No no, l would never allow any
artist girl in this house.
- And listen.
- Yes?
Don't have any contact
with him after going to Bombay.
- Understand?
- Yes.
lf we meet accidentally?
Then turn away your face. Come.
But l'll still board at Shankar's house.
- Buddhu.
- Yes coming, father.
So, Buddhu, are the roads of
Bombay lit at night, son?
- Certainly, aunt. - Walk around
there carefully at night, son.
There could be snakes and all.
- Oh no, no...
it's not a village.
Bombay is a huge city.
Bigger than our Jabalpur.
lt's still not decided
where you'll live there.
lf the transfer could
be avoided somehow...
lt's a job, what could be done?
You don't worry, father.
- Everything will be all right.
- Just saying don't worry...
isn't enough. lt would
be better if you put up...
- at Jagodish's place.
- No, father, he's your friend.
- l'm not known to him at all.
- So what? l've written to him.
Even then you send him a telegram,
l won't go to him.
- lt's a new place. Do your work
sincerely, understood? - Okay.
- Don't commute much by train, son.
- Okay.
l'll leave, father. l'll leave,
aunt. - Come, son come.
- Don't forget to send a telegram
after you arrive. - l won't forget.
There.
Come.
Wow, wonderful. You've got
a nice house.
Got with much difficulty, brother.
- How much?
- Twenty five paisa, sir.
Here.
Oh.
What have you done, Shankar?
Opened a musical instrument
shop at home?
l play these to earn bread.
Else l'll have to beat my stomach.
Now you bathe and eat.
Then have a sound sleep.
Sound sleep is a wonderful thing.
- But l start work today.
- Then what can you do?
l'll arrange all these.
You get ready by then.
- Brother, what's the name of this place?
- Cadell Road.
- Cadell Road. Where is Shivaji Park?
- Nearby. Why?
Father's friend lives there.
l was supposed board there.
- You could have stayed there.
- He's father's friend, not mine.
Tea?
- Hey, Bihari.
- Yes, sir?
- Bring two cups of tea and snacks.
- Yes, sir.
- What's this? They'll beat you.
- When in Rome do as the Romans.
Oh ho, oh ho. Fine.
Wow, the song is wonderful.
Yes, it's fun to have
a gramophone shop near the house.
- Get to hear all the songs, right, sister?
- Yes. Wait, l'll open the window.
Check who's arrived.
in your bungalow
You and l'll live together,
no matter what the people say
No matter what the people say
- Sister, telegram.
- Telegram?
- Yes.
- From whom?
l don't know.
l was late to the office again today.
lf it's so uncomfortable,
why did you accept the job?
What's the use of putting
on weight by sleeping at home?
- When is your college?
- At twelve.
You're having fun.
- Buddhu not going, Ramesh.
- Who is it from?
- ls it bad news?
- Yes, indeed bad news.
- Ramesh's son Buddhu isn't coming.
- Not coming is bad news?
l'm relieved. Otherwise l'd
have to toil in the kitchen.
l'm already dying
with joint pain.
Look, look at your mother's histrionics.
Buddhu isn't coming. lsn't it bad news?
Of course it's bad news.
Of course.
- Hey. - What?
- Who's Buddhu?
l don't know.
Of course he is Buddhu (fool).
Otherwise, why have
such a stupid name?
Damn it!
Oh my God. So soon it's ten thirty.
lt's not the clock's fault.
lt's right on time.
You're having fun. The people
who don't need to go to the office...
they're fortunate. My bag!
l need to hurry as well, brother.
l'll have to leave
for the song rehearsal soon.
Go, go, don't be late.
Will you be able to get to Churchgate?
Yes... yes, you told me.
Get off at Churchgate...
then go to left from the right.
Royal lnsurance building.
But to go from left to right
will be a problem.
- Royal Bombay Crematorium.
- Crematorium, oh my God!
Hey!

And this is Mr. Keshav,

You seem to be jolly like a child.

To be expected. The company is Bengali,
Bengal Traders. - Okay.
- Come, come.
- Brother.
- Are you calling me?
- You're new l guess?

He's poetic by nature. - Oh.

- Greetings.
- Greetings. - Come, Mr. Kumar,
l'll explain your job.
- Mr. Kumar, look here please.
- Oh yes.
Come, come, Shankar.
You came so early morning for rehearsal.
What's wrong?
- But l have, l've come on time.
- That is unpunctual.
You must be late.
Say you had to visit other places first.
Then they'll think you're important.
l'm not important yet..
Come, come, come.
- Greetings, Mr. Nepali.
- Greetings. - Greetings.
What's that, brother? Two gramophones
playing at the same time?
Editing is going on.
- Meaning?
- Alteration going on.
- l don't understand.
- l'm copying another's song.
lt requires great skill.
- lf you don't get caught.
- There's no harm even if l'm caught.
These days no one
wants the original stuff.
And moreover now l have
eighteen movies in hand.
Where's the time
to think so much?
So you're working by dozens?
- lndeed, indeed.
l had been doing functions
for free means in repentence.
Recently one of my movies
became a hit.
- Now the market is mine.
- Yes, indeed.
- You've composed a tune for my song?
- l've got a new idea.
Modern song means mixture.
At the beginning a folk tune.
This is so unique.
That's what's popular.
Give the harmonium, fast.
Play the tabla. (musical instrument)
Oh my friends, don't
come with me today
My Lord is calling with the flute
- My friends.
- My friends
Aha, wonderful. All right,
all right.
Oh my friends, don't
come with me today
My Lord is calling with the flute
lt's all right.
Fine.
My Lord is calling with the flute
- The magical flute is playing.
- No, no, no, no.
lt's not like that, it's not
like that. Here it's poetic.
Here l have put a twist.
So it has to be like that.
lt'll be like this, like this.
Come on, start.
One, two, three, four.
The magical flute is playing
Destroying everything,
the magical flute is playing
- Playing.
- Playing
The magical flute is playing
Destroying everything, the
magical flute is playing
- l will give... - No, no, no, no,
this part will be devotional.
l will give all.
l will give all
Say the next line.
Say the next line.
- ln devotion, in devotion.
- ln devotion, in devotion
- Keep repeating.
- ln devotion, in devotion
Shame, shame, shame.
l don't understand
- What do you want.
- l want everything, everything.
Starting with folk song,
then poetic song...
finally the devotional song.
l want everything.
Modern song means mixture.
Open the bottle, pour it,
and it's gone.
- But can't l sing as l want?
- Of course you can.
But only after you become famous.
Come come. The condition in which
the country is today...
- any person can...
- lndeed, indeed.
- You proceed.
- Better, better.
Hello. Yes, it's me.
Was late due to rehearsal.
Are you going there?
l'll be waiting. Don't be late.
You go. l'll be along.
- Oh. You got so late?
- The rehearsal was going on.
- l've got in the company
of a mad man. - Mad?
- Really mad. First he wants this.
Then he wants that. - Oh.
So what could be done? You have
to struggle a little, at first.
- Did you get support from home?
- No.
- Did you write a letter yourself?
- l asked brother to.
Oh.
- Have you told them at home?
- No. l will today.
Well, Gita, you never wanted
to know about my family?
l came to know you. But you weren't
interested in my family, either.
l'll marry you, not your family.
And then the doors of my
house are closed for me.
- Everything will be all right.
- Nothing will happen.
Since l entered into movies,
there are no relations with home.
lt got worse, after they learned
l'm marrying a girl of my choice.
You could have married
a girl of their choice.
Then you would have had
a beautiful lovely wife.
- And that would've been better?
- Yes.
Well then, you also
marry a handsome boy.
The boy l'll marry,
seems very handsome to me.
And the girl l'll marry,
seems very beautiful to me.
Then l would have known,
you really love me.
- l love you? Who told you that?
- Aha. Then who do you love?
- Who do l love?
- Who?
Magical playful deer
in the forest
The one who gives rise
to sweet dreams...
why should l capture
it for no reason?
Put your wishes away.
l will fill my heart...
with the tune of the function
for no reason
Magical playful deer
in the forest
There will be lightning
in the wind of the monsoon
The sky will become overcast with clouds
The heart will get restless
for no reason
l will ask to be away, and will tie
a string of separation in secret
That bond will be free of
any bondage for no reason
Magical playful deer
in the forest
The one who gives rise
to sweet dreams...
why should l capture
it for no reason?
Sorry. Thank you. Damn!
- Tea for you, sir.
- Oh, give me. Give me.
- Today you gave up dhoti and
put on pants, sir. - What?
- l wear pants everyday.
- No, no, sir, don't joke with me.
Joke? Oh yes, understood. Look,
l am Buddhu. - Buddhu.
- Hey, sir l am Buddhu.
- Look, man, my name is Buddhu and...
Your name is Buddhu. l'm going, sir.
Look. Hey, Shankar
make him explain.
What happened, Buddhu?
- Bihari, we are brothers.
- Brothers.
Brothers. Elder or younger?
- Elder.
- Elder?
Bihari, younger.
- Younger?
- No elder.
- Elder?
- Bihari, younger.
- Elder.
- Elder, elder, younger.
- Bihari, elder.
Wait, wait, wait, don't
get me confused.
From now on l'll call you Mr.
Dhoti and you, you...
l'll call you Mr. Pants.
Oh God, everything is so messy here.
- So, brother new job. How is it?
- Don't ask about the job.
- The job was about to go today.
- Why?
What why?
Because of your Bombay bus.
- Bus?
- Yes, yes, bus.
lf the bus comes the
turn doesn't come.
lf the turn comes
then a girl comes.
- Girl? - Girl. That's why
l was told in the office...
You are too early for tomorrow.
l see. So you were late
because of a girl? - Yes, for a girl.
And she's not any ordinary girl.
She laughs like this.
And looks like this.
And walks like this.
Well, finally you got settled.
Don't be nervous.
At first one has to bear
a couple of blows.
This isn't a flat race.
lt's a hurdle race.
- You speak like a learned man.
- l'm much experienced in this.
lt's time for me to retire.
You retired, sir.
Salute, sir. Salute.
So you heard everything, Rita.
Now tell me, what shall l do?
Mother has to be told
about the marriage.
- But who will tell her?
- lt's your marriage so, l'll have to.
Come on, go to sleep.
l'll tell her tomorrow.
l am sitting in wait, singing
the song of monsoon.
- As much as l think...
- Hey, what is it you can't forget?
You know, sister?
Today l was running late for work...
so l jumped ahead of a man
to enter the bus.
Oh my. On reaching the office,
l see that man...
has been transferred into our office.
Very funny man. Sometimes he
recognizes me and fumes in anger.
Sometimes he pretends not,
and hangs his head like this.
- Very foolish.
- The matter is serious.
- Hey listen, what should l do?
- Forget it.
lf l start hearing,
the night will fly.
The start is dangerous.
lt takes time to forget.
Now go to sleep.
The sky started showering nectar
The whole mad world is
drowning in the rays
Wow, the song is so nice.
Today you'll find everything nice.
Look Rauma's mother.
Whatever l give the cook he'll ruin.
l don't like this.
- Mother.
- What?
- Mother.
- Say what you want to say.
Rauma's mother, give this to the cook.
Tell him to cook it well.
l was saying, sister likes someone,
and wants to marry him.
She chose herself?
So what does the boy do?
- He sings. - Sings. Skilled boy.
So how much does he earn?
l just told you, he sings for
records, for radio, for cinema.
He sings for cinema?
Humph, l know how good a boy he is.
- Father.
- Yes?
- Father, sister wants to marry.
- That's good, very good.
lt's very happy news.
- But, mother doesn't agree.
- What? What a problem.
- lt's very difficult, dear.
- So what can be done?
Your father has only one head,
and you know your mother.
- There's no hope.
- And father?
- No room. no room.
- l'm with her, with her.
- Ticket?
- Churchgate.
- The balance?
- Gave you two tickets, right?
- Two tickets?
- One for her.
Oh, yes, yes.
- Ticket please.
- Last stop.
- He bought your ticket.
- Who? - That gentleman.
Listen, l mean if l hadn't,
l'd have been late.
- Please don't mind.
- No, l don't mind.
l'm Kumar Chaudhary.
And you're Ms...
Not Ms., Rita Devi.
Oh, that means Mrs.?
No, no, l don't like being addressed
as Ms in the English style.
Oh. Say that, l thought that...
- So you had thought
about me before this? - Yes.
- What?
- l mean no, l mean yes.
No means yes.
Yes means should l, Mister?
- Look, again, again mister...
- Oh, l shouldn't say that? Fine.
No, no, of course you may.
Say a hundred times,
thousand times, million times.
- l understood. We'll be late
today also, come. - Come.
Hands like lotus, Ah ha, ha...
- l see you'll ruin the company, Tarun.
- Brother, l'm in big trouble.
Why, what happened now?
Look, is it hands like
lotus or gifted feet?
Hand like lotus means
a slap, understand?
- And gifted feet means kick.
- Kick?
l see your job is at risk.
- No, no nothing, l didn't mind
anything, Mr... - Again, Mr.?
l'll say Mr. only.
- Then it's fine.
-You weren't late today, right?
- You saved me.
This is already on,
many chapters to come.
- Chapters?
- Yes.
- Brother, more chapters will come?
- What do you mean by 'will come'?
This is just the beginning.
- 0h yes, Madam?
- Shivaji Park.
- Your ticket is paid.
- Who? - That lady.
- Listen, you paid my ticket.
- lt wasn't unjust at all.
- Why? - Do you know, 'fire, enemy
and debt shouldn't be forgotten'?
- Okay, greetings.
- Greetings.
Listen, which way are you going?
- Most likely, different from yours.
- Oh.
- And you?
- Most likely, different from yours.
Mother is very stubborn.
What should l do?
What should l say?
l'm helpless as well.
- Let's go somewhere else.
- That can't be done, Gita.
lf we go somewhere else,
l'll have to look for another job.
But you'll certainly get a job.
You really know music.
l do know. That's why l'm
scared l won't find one.
- Why? - These days real
things have no value.
- Then? - Then, both of us will
have to try our best.
l don't know what will happen.
But l'll wait for you.
- You?
- Do l have to tell you? Don't you know?
- Greetings. Did you mind?
- No, no, no, l didn't mind at all.
- You are Ms...
- No. Rita Devi.
- What, that means Mrs?
- No...
l don't like to be addressed
as Ms in the English style.
Very good, very good.
But buying my ticket wasn't unjust at all.
Of course not. Certainly not.
Not at all.
From now on, you buy
my ticket every day.
Understand, Rita Devi?
Hey, Rita Devi.
Go away, Mr. Kumar.
A little glimpse at a blink.
A little glimpse at a blink
lf it happens a little more,
what's the harm?
lf the day passes away
by sitting side by side...
and share the emotions,
what's the harm?
lt feels good to reply to the
mischief of a sweet smile
Let the days pass away
by filling up the heart...
with sweet dreams, what's the harm?
A little glimpse at a blink,
if it happens...
a little more, what's the harm?
lf the day passes away
by sitting side by side...
and share our feelings,
what's the harm?
Now that suddenly we got
introduced on the way...
if the hesitation goes
away it will be good
While pretending to avoid,
she gets caught...
by the gestures,
only by the gestures.
lf my heart swings
with the excitement...
of getting something,
what's the harm?
A little glimpse at a blink,
if it happens...
lf it happens a little more,
what's the harm?
lf the day passes away
by sitting side by side...
and share our feelings,
what's the harm?
- Playing with puppets?
- No, playing with fire.
You know, Shankar,
l was introduced to that girl.
Suddenly both met one day.
Suddenly both got
introduced one day.
Suddenly both fell in love one day.
And someone suddenly got
separated one day.
- What's the matter? You look upset.
- No, nothing.
Gita, that man is very clever.
What, your opinion changed
in just one day?
- A girl's heart, what a strange thing.
- Ah, listen to me.
Today when buying the ticket
on the bus the conductor said...
he'd bought the ticket for me.
Oh my. When l turned around
l saw the fool...
waving my ticket. l was stunned.
- Then? - Later l came to know
he got into the bus by lying.
Then he was so keen
on asking for forgiveness, Gita.
Forgiving is the best policy.
Certainly you forgave him?
What to do?
l had to forgive him finally.
l had to. Everyone is very clever
before falling in love.
But after falling in love,
one becomes a moron.
Just like you, l guess?
Damn. No, there's no shirt worth
wearing. Have to buy some.
lt happens during the first days
after getting this disease.
lt never feels that the dressing
up is as the heart wishes.
But later, when one's more experienced
one manages even in torn clothes.
One manages. Am l thinking
of new clothes for that?
There isn't a single one
worth wearing, that's why.
Yes indeed. Just these few shirts.
These can't be worn.
But who'll pack them up?
- Bring the person who'll pack them.
- l'll give you a punch.
Wait, wait. lf you go buy new clothes
now you'll be late for work.
l'll go and buy.
Thank you.
- Here you are, mister. l mean...
- No need to mean anything.
- Then what should l say?
- No need to say anything.
Here, your color box,
stencil, eraser.
- But why are you so angry?
- Uncivilized.
- What, who?
- Who else, that same man.
Outside the office he pretends
he doesn't know me.
- Oh, hurt ego?
- What nonsense.
l'll leave. l'll be late for work.
Minus four thousand two
hundred, the remaining...
- Please explain to me.
- What shall l explain?
- l can't do it.
- What is it?
- l don't know.
- What don't you know?
- Leave.
- For where, how far?
How far will you take me,
beautiful girl?
Where would l get your
golden company?
Wonderful. Wonderful, dear.
Two thousand five hundred...
Listen, dear. Explain nicely.
Explain to her nicely.
But, Keshavda l don't understand
anything at all.
- You don't understand? - No.
- You'll understand very well.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
Hey! How come only one?
Where's the other one?
- Other one?
- Here comes the other one.
- Brother? - You don't understand,
it's ego chapter?
The lady has an ego problem.
Oh my friends,
don't come with me today
My Lord is calling
with the flute
Okay.
- So, what's the news, brother?
- Yes, all's good.
- Satish, who sang the song?
- A new boy. - l see.
- Stishda, how was it?
- You sang very well, Shankar.
Only you say so.
No one else says.
- Who said no one else?
- Of course. The biggest proof is...
my pocket is empty like a field.
Well, let me introduce.
This is the producer, Mr. Poddar.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
And the director, Mr. Mukherjee.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
- Your song was very nice.
- Very good.
l'm considering you
for our next movie.
- You're considering means?
- lt means l'll give you...
- a chance in our next movie.
- Are you kidding me?
No, no why should we?
- No l mean, it's the matter
of movie... - No, no.
Come and see me in
the studio tomorrow.
- So, you got it.
- Greetings.
- Listen. Listen.
- Are you calling me?
- Why should l call you?
- But you said 'listen'?
- But not to you.
- You didn't mention any name...
so 'listen' applies to me also.
- What to say?
- Brother?
- Vinnie, vittie, vissie.
- Meaning?
- Came, saw, made it vanish.
- Whom, brother?
The whole family, dear,
the whole family.
The whole family?
You're strange, as if you don't
recognize me today.
- Me or you?
- You, of course.
Pretending as if you
don't know me at all.
- Strange, did l pretend?
- Yes.
lt's difficult to understand your moods.
l'm always in a good mood.
Forgive me if l've made any mistake.
- Do you understand?
- No, brother.
Sinking, sinking drinking water.
Sinking, sinking drinking
water means what?
Going on under cover, going
on under cover, understand?
- What?
- Come.
You remain lost in a
book day and night.
Oh my, the window is still open.
l've said so many times
to close the window...
before sleeping at night,
but who cares.
When you catch cold
then l'll have to suffer.
l asked Gita to get married.
She said she wouldn't.
- Hey, do you hear me?
- Yes, yes, yes.
She's started painting and
is staying awake all night.
- Good, good. - What's good?
You spoiled them by pampering.
- Who?
- Who else, your daughters.
Rita started working at
the office so desperately...
as if there's no food
to eat at home.
- Will you marry them off or not?
- Why?
What why? These days the boys
and girls have started...
- to fall in love before marriage.
- Who?
- Who else, your daughter, daughter.
- Which one?
Ah, you're so irritating.
Gita, my dear Gita.
Now it's the elder one.
Don't be surprised by
anything in this field.
- Six of my movies have flopped.
- Flopped?
You're surprised?
But the rate grows day by day.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
- Which movie are you working in?
- Ask in which movies.
- Twenty two of them.
- Twenty two of them?
- l'm here in the title role of Soroshi.
- Soroshi.
- Box office.
- Oh.
- l'm in demand all over.
- Of course, of course.
Okay, bye bye.
- Soroshi? - Yes, she was,
but twenty two years ago.
- Hey Gublu.
- Morning, sir.
- Morning. Let me introduce. This is
Mr. Shankar, music director. - l see.
And this is my hero.
l made him, Adbhut Kumar.
- Greetings. What Kumar?
- Adbhut Kumar.

filled with sweet dreams
- Hey where're the beats?
- Beats?
- Yes. - This is a sad song,
meaning sorrowful.
Stop it, boy. These days beats
are needed even to cry.
The heroines these days dance
while crying. Don't you know?
Well, listen to my scene.
Suppose we film it from above,
a big bang along with the camera.
Will charge with a zoom.
This sad crying won't do.
This is the age of speed, boy.
Age of speed, age of speed.
Listen, the other song you sang

But that's a comedy tune.
Absolutely right. Play that

Yes, right. Sing.
As many days l get in this life,

Fire, enemies and debts

Then, then we... Romeo and Juliet.

Bhagwan.
- So are we going?
- Will it be right?
- Why won't it be right?

Wherever l go there's Bengalis.
Where aren't there Bengalis, sir?
Go to the jungles of Africa,
the deserts of Arabia...
to the mountains of Tibet,
Bengalis are everywhere.
- Come.
- l too have change of ten rupees.

Bengalis in a foreign land may just walk

Welcome. Come, come, come, come.
- Come, come, come.
- Greetings.
Kanai, give him change
for ten rupees.
Ten into hundred, thousand paisa, sir?
Yes, new or old, everything will do.

- Just the change will do.
Aha, you'll get the change,

- Look, l don't look good in photos.
- What are you saying.
lf you go into movies
it'll be an explosion.
- What a trouble, explosion.
- Absolutely.
- Explosion.
- You get a picture taken, too.
No, no, why take my
picture all of a sudden?
- Kanai.
- Get ready, sir.
Get ready sir means?
You must be thinking, sir,
that we take bad pictures.
We used to work in films.
- Yes. - They don't pay
for work we do, sir.
When we go to ask for money
we become monkeys or dogs.
That's why we wondered
why work for them.
- So we left for good.
- One minute, sir.
Yes, make it fast, don't be slow.
Here we have
everything ready instantly.
Come, come, you come.
Come. Come, come.

Yes, Kanai.

- You're too much, dear.
- What did you say? What?
You're too much, mister.
- 'Dear' sounds better, understand?
- Understood. Well, what's the
time now? - Seven thirty.
Well, if we hadn't met
in the bus that day?
Then this 'dear' wouldn't
have been said.
- Okay, let me drop you.
- l beg of you, don't ever do that.
- Why?
- Because my mother's home.
- Yes, yes.
- My mother's feet are in this age...
but her head is in the past.
- And her daughter?
- Her daughter?
What's the need to read
the end at first?
- Greetings.
- Come, come.
Here, poet Shankar

- No corn but it's called...
- Unicorn.
No loon but it's called pantaloons.
- Pantaloons, what's this?
- Song.
Song? lmpossible. A tune can't
be made on these lines.
You should know the public
these days is fickle.
They won't accept it
unless there's a song like this.
Who said they won't?
They accept quality products all the time.
You people are selling bad products
and ruining their taste in music.
Look, mister, we know only money.
We didn't start in this business
for charity. Don't you agree?
You must agree.
Otherwise we'll hire someone else.
- Yes, do that. - ls this good? Throw
away the first chance of your life?
Yes. The first chance is important.
But l may have some
principles as well.
Principles. Listen, kid,
we also had principles.
l've lasted for twenty-five years.
What have l done yet?
Six of my movies flopped.
But l'm still standing here.
But the one who doesn't have any
principles... - Principles.
Would you lick those
principles for food?
- Make an impression first.
- lmpression?
- Yes. - First make your mark
Then dictate to us.
- We'll accept with bowed heads.
- Excuse me.
Think over it again.
- Where's the rehearsal room?
- Over there, sir.
- You wait here. l'll call brother.
- Okay.
- Think it over. - l have already.
l can't do all these. Greetings.
- What?
- Now what?
l'm thinking.
- Hey Buddhu, you're here?
- There's something very important.
l'll introduce you to that girl.
Can you get off?
- l've got off forever, l gave
up the job. - What? Why?
lt's a long story.
l'll tell you at home.
Stop being crazy.
First tell me about it. Come.
- All crazy stuff.
- Now, tell me what's the matter.
What could be the matter? No corn
but it's called a unicorn.
Can a tune be made for this line?
lmpossible. l left the job.
Oh come on.
You quit because of that?
What's the value of honesty
in this world?
Wherever you look,
you'll see only compromise.
What have you done?
- ldea, give me your clothes.
- Clothes, why?
Wearing your clothes
l'll become Shankar...
while you sit here quietly
being Kumar.
Well, does being an artist
simply mean being sentimental?
What? Yes, if it happens
to be a real artist.
l won't give up. You'll
get what you want.
That's like my boy. Good boy!
No corn but it's called a unicorn.
No loon but
it's called pantaloons.
No corn but it's called unicorn.
No loon but it's called pantaloons
Burns the skin, stunned moo, moo,
right, right, right, right
Put a pinch of snuff in the nose.
Then drink a mug of yoghurt
You'll get tickling sneezing, sneezing
Put the shoes on both feet.
Then go walking to Agra
You'll find Jaamtola, Aamtola,
Neemtola on the way
No, no this isn't a joke.
Have a stomach full of slapping
Eat raw banana, ear twisting
as much as you wish
Tock, tock, tock, tock
goes the horse cart
How far is Baghdad
Mecca from here?
Burns the skin, stunned moo, moo,
right, right, right, right
No corn but it's called unicorn.
No loon but it's called pantaloons
Plumb Bishu Nandi
makes plans day and night
He talks big, big, huge,
huge, large, large
Strong short Bodka
chews betel leaf with tobacco
Only cartwheel, rowdiness,
hooliganism goes on
lf the girl of this house gets upset,
the boy of that house smiles
Burns the skin, stunned moo, moo,
right, right, right, right
No corn but it's called unicorn.
No loon but it's called pantaloons
l had to do all this even after
being born in your country.
Forgive me.
What you did was unbelievable.
- Come on.
- You were so late?
Brother is very busy. l'll introduce him
to you later. Come.
- Father. - l'm not able to see properly.
Turn on the light.
Yes. Come on, massage my hand.
- Father.
- What?
- Why are you looking at the clock?
- l want to go to the movies.
- So go.
- But mother?
Oh yes. Your mother scolds
you two a lot, doesn't she, dear?
You go. l'll handle it.

- Gita. Hey Gita.
- Oh my, l'm finished!
- Greetings, sir.
- Greetings.
- There's a letter for you.
- Letter, from whom?
- Mr. Shankar.
- Oh ho. Go.

so l'm staying here.
- l knew. - l'll be late returning.
Don't worry about me. - l won't worry.
Ticket, tonight's show?
Must be Shankar's.
- Mr. Pants, tea for you.
- Yes, yes, give me.
- Mr. Dhoti isn't at home?
- No.
Look, he has this movie ticket
and got stuck at work today.
- Then you go in his place, Mr. Pants.
- Me? No, no, l don't like sad films.
The money will be wasted.
You shoud go.
- lt's a very nice English movie.
- English movie?
Then it's useless, sir.
lf it was Hunterwali
l'd go for sure.
- Now, you should go.
- Okay then, l'll go.
Take this.
- Looking very nice.
- Give me.
Look, look.
Take this.
Look, that's the girl. Come with me.
Nowadays, it's difficult
to know by the face...

- lndeed.
- Don't you recognize me?
- lf l ever see you again...
doing all this, l'll call
the police, understand?
- Bengali?
- Yes.
l'm Bengali as well.
Here l am Kishan Chandra.
Actually, l'm Shri Keshto Chandra.
- So what should l do about that?
- No, no nothing, nothing.
But you know what? lt's better to keep
private matters confined to the home.
The police are as same as tigers.
- How surprising.
- Nothing is surprising about women.
No, no, l can't bear
all those tantrums.
- Ah, what a problem.
- Big problem.
These days, there are
female police as well.
lf l ever see you again,
then l'll call the police, understand?
He avenged me.
What, l've been waiting for you
for so long. Come to eat.
- You go, l won't eat.
- What's happened?
- A man shouldn't be trusted.
- What's the matter, sister?
Nothing, you go to eat.
All the things are
so messed up here.
Hey you.
Where are you going early morning?
- What are you asking, mother?
- Where are you going?
- To the office. - To office? To office
at eight in the morning?
There's new work at the office
that must be completed.
So you've done a favor for us.
So where will you eat?
- Eat? Over there. Over there.
- Over there?
- Yes. - Very well. Then take your
bed and luggage to stay there.
- Mother, l mean...
- No need to mean anything.
Go wherever you're going.
Return early.
- l thought you wouldn't come.
- How could l come earlier?
Already everyone asked why
l was leaving for work so early.
- But today we aren't going to the office.
- l know that.
- But that can't be said at home.
- What did you say at home?
What else should l say? l had to
lie so much because of you.
- l said, there's a lot of work
at the office. - Very good.
- Have some puffed rice.
- Well, where should we go now?
- Wherever our feet take us.
- lt'll be fun.
Today we'll move around
the whole day. Come on.
- Give me my picture.
- No, no, you won't get this.
This is mine. This is yours.
Only the picture is yours,
or the actual person as well?
- Both. - What are you looking
at so anxiously?
- lt'll be over in a couple of days.
- No.
Just wanting a little
and getting a little
Let my song become sweet
for that excitement
As the river comes,
to meet the blue sea
As the land meets
the sky at the horizon
Being near to you becomes
sweet like that tune
Just wanting a little
and getting a little
Let my song become sweet
for that excitement
l don't know to where we floated...
or how far we both want to get lost
How far can we go before
this golden rope reaches its end?
Just wanting a little
Let the time float away
in this dream land
The south wind will write
the lyrics to a new song
Being near to you becomes
sweet like that
Just wanting a little
and getting a little
Let my song become sweet
for that excitement
l say, what's happened
in this modern era?
Now girls are coming home late, too,
like the boys, eh?
l ask, where were you so late
at night? Where were you?
- Office.
- The office?
l ask, does the office go
on till evening these days?
ls this what is called
coming home early?
Mother, l mean, a lot of
work has come. That's why.
To hell with such work.
As if there's no food at home
and that's why you got a job.
l'm telling you, you must return
by three beginning tomorrow...
whether you have office or not.
Oh ho, ho, my, my.
l'm dying of joint pain.
Oh my, my, these girls are
making my life a living hell.
Shall l commit suicide or what?
Fine, wonderful.
lt must be noted down.
Wonderful? As is the father,
so are the daughters.
- What happened?
- What happened?
The girl came back home now,
so late, so l asked where she was.
- She said the office.
- Office at night?
That's what l came to tell you.
You don't care about anything.
What should l do, tell me.
Should l go and shut down the office?
Who's asking you to close the office?
l've been telling you
to get the girl married.
- Else she'll get spoiled like Gita.
- Okay, that will be done.
- lt'll be done?
- Yes.
Are the grooms some fruit,
hanging on trees all around?
What's wrong? Mother's shouting so much.
Mother gets angry over anything.
Why did she raise us this way?
You know how mother is, Rita.
Stay quiet. What could you do?
Look, could you draw a picture
from this photo?
- Yes, why not?
- But have to return this tomorrow.
- Whose photo is it? - That same,
very foolish, very clever man.
Let me see, let me see.
- Hey, do you have a cigarette?
- ln the coat pocket.
- Buddhu.
- Yes?
Who is it you've
put in your pocket?
- What did you say? - l mean where have
you placed the one in your pocket?
So you saw it.
ln the temple of my heart.
- Very nice. - lt's very obvious.
She doesn't veil her face.
- That day there was a girl
at the cinema. - A girl?
- Not just a girl, a dangerous girl.
- What are you saying?
Yes. She said l was looking
very nice, and leaned over me.
- l guarded my pocket.
- All the girls find only you.
You did this?
You both are dear to me.
l'll move out of your way.
l'll move away.
Those days gone by call me back
As if love paints a picture
with the painful colors of my heart
l recall, l recall
l recall that memory
of our first meeting
l recall that time of exchanging hearts
Two different paths of two
different people...
united and became a new path
The days were so musical
in a new land
That tune cries, in my life.
lt's broken, alas it's broken
ln the fair of sweet meeting...
today that game of laughter
and colors has come to end
The sky never remembers when each star...
broke and
scattered down
Those days gone by call me back
As if love paints a picture
with the painful colors of my heart
- Hey.
- Yes?
- Did you paint all night long?
- Yes.
- Wow, it's wonderful! ls it finished?
- A little bit more.
l placed an advertisement
in the newspaper for...
a suitable groom for your
daughter, understand?
l understand perfectly.
Have you lost your mind or what?
- Why? - lf it's a house wanted,
situation wanted, then it's okay.
But how can a groom be found
from an ad in the paper?
Ah, you don't understand.
l'm a professor.
l teach the boys, not kidnap them.
Humph, l know how valuable you are.
Listen, listen, listen.
How about writing a letter
to Ramesh?
l've heard his son is well educated,
and has a good job as well.
- Who's Ramesh? - The one who was
supposed to come and stay with us.
Maybe write to him?
lf it should be written,
why aren't you writing?
- All right, then l'll write
a letter to him. - Humph.
Oh my. That's all.
Your dear friend Jagadish.
Sister! Sister! Here's a marriage
proposal for your beloved nephew.
For Buddhu? From where?
My friend Jagadish.
Jagadish wants to marry his daughter
to our Buddhu.
Then don't delay. Get the
marriage arranged before l die.
- Well, how does the girl look?
- l saw her once in childhood.
Well, she must be good looking.
Our Jagadish is a good looking man.
But l don't understand
which of his daughters he's written for.
One of them draws pictures.
The other one passed her BA.
Oh my. Then l'll have to learn
English at this old age.
- So what's your opinion?
- What's the need of my opinion on this?
Ask him to send a picture of the girl.
We need Buddhu's opinion.
- After all, he's a modern boy.
- What's the value of his opinion?
What does he know about marriage?
He's never been married.
At least we've married once.
- So then l'll write that to Jagadish.
- Yes, yes.
lf you keep doing like this,
it won't do.
Where's the bed sheet?
How would l know
where the bed sheet is?
First, you come after one whole month.
Moreover, if you keep losing
things all the time, how will that do?
- No, no. - 'No, no' my foot.
lf you do so l'll deduct money.
- No don't, please. - No need for
'No don't, please'. Get lost.
Dear. Dear? l've arranged.
l've arranged your marriage.
My marriage? Have you gone mad?
You've lost your mind in your old age.
lf you wish, you get married.
Shame, shame, shame, shame.
Not yours, your daughter's
marriage has been arranged.
- So tell me what he wrote.
- Well Ramesh...
has written he has no objection.
So, will you marry both
to the same man?
- Meaning? - Meaning will you
get both married to the same boy?
What about Gita?
Will be, will be done
one after the other,
- One by one, my dear.
- Disgusting.
Oh God, now let Gita
get settled as well.
l'm in the same situation.
Father has written a letter.
He wants to get me married
to the daughter of his friend.
l don't know her.
How can l marry her?
l don't know, either.
But how to stop the marriage?
- Now l must think.
- l'm also thinking.
- What to do?
- Let's see what happens.
l've sent a letter to father
saying l won't marry.
- But, l can't send a letter
to mother. - What?
- What is to happen will happen.
- Yes, there's no point in thinking.
A little glimpse at a blink.
lf it happens a little more...
what's the harm?
With the dreams...
- What? Who is it?
- Telegram.
Telegram?
Sign here.
'Aunt seriously ill, come sharp.'
Aunt seriously ill.
Shankar, aunt is,
very seriously ill.
- Father, how is aunt?
- Hey Buddhu, when did you come?
- How are you, son?
- What is this, aunt? You were ill?
Would you have come
if l hadn't written l was sick?
- But the telegram?
- You stopped writing after the marriage talk...
so we had to send a telegram.
Your marriage is finalized, Buddhu.
What are you thinking so much?
You have a job, the girl
is cultured and attractive.
Get married before l die, son.
- lf you insist, what can l say?
- Live long, son, live long.
Buddhu. Hey Buddhu. Buddhu,
come to eat, son.
Hey Buddhu. Buddhu, whom are
you thinking about, dear?
Buddhu, are you asleep, son?
Hey Buddhu.
- My whole body is in pain.
- What are you saying?
- l'm dying.
- No, no, my boy, no, my boy.
With marriage in the cards,
now you fall ill?
- Whose marriage?
- Don't say that. Rauma. Hey Rauma.
Well, l'll go and tell. Hey Rauma,
do you hear? Rauma.
- Shankar. Shankar.
- Shankar will come, son.
Bhola, check properly, brother.
My poor fellow
has gone pale overnight.
No, no he doesn't have a fever.
Kumar, let me check your belly.
What are you doing?
what are you doing?
- Let me check, let me check.
- Uuuh.
- Come on, lift the leg.
- Uuuh. Uh, uh.
The head aches, the stomach
aches, the legs ache.
l can't diagnose it for a day or two.
- Ramesh, it's either appendicitis
or else gallstones. - Gladstone.
There are roads and parks
named after important people.
Are there diseases as well?
Yes, but not Gladstone.
lt's gallstone, understand?
That's the younger brother.
Shankar.
No fever, but Delirium.
What a disaster! Ramesh, write Shankar
to come immediately.
How could you manage all alone?
What's the need to call
Shankar for all this?
Very much needed. Don't you see he's
shouting Shankar repeatedly?
Moreover, fights should be forgotten
during troubled times.
lt's needed to call Shankar.
- That's okay but his address... - Number 13,
Churchgate Cadell road, Shankar.
How did you learn
his address? Very fishy.
No fever but Delirium,
but completely in his senses.
Ramesh, you come with me.
l'll write the prescription.
Bhola, give him good medicine, brother.
Going to your house is restricted.
But you shouldn't go there, either.
l thought to go there again tomorrow.
But just now l received
a telegram from home.
lt's urgent.
l'm leaving right away.
On receiving this letter come
to that place. l have much to tell you.
lt feels now we'll both get
what we've desired.
The boy is handsome, well educated,
and has a good job.
Now, you don't throw
any tantrums, dear.
Yes, resign from your
job this very day.
- What, is it that same Buddhu?
- Buddhu, Buddhu, Buddhu.
l know very well what kind of boy
he'll be, one whose name is Buddhu.
l'll marry that boy, my foot.
Husband, Buddhu.
Come on, Buddhu. - l won't.
- Drink it. Good boy, drink it.
- lt tastes horrible.
- How will you be cured?
Drink it. Good boy.
- Oh my God, you spat it out.
- Give me water, give me water.
Oh my, there's no water. Wait, wait.
l'll bring water.
Give me water. Water, water.
Doctor Bhola, doctor Bhola...
Hey Rauma, where are
you all? Bring water.
You're all useless.
Do l have to say everything?
A patient should always have water.
Don't you even know that much?
Coca Cola, Coca cCola.
Yes, yes, l'm bringing
water right away.
All useless. ls there any
meaning to this nonsense.
lt's getting late, give me. Go.
- Bring quickly.
- Here l come, son.
Give me water, give me water,
give me water.
- Take. - Give me the medicine.
Give the medicine.
- Take.
- Give.
Hey, hey what are you doing?
You'll choke!
Don't drink so much at once.
Don't drink, Buddhu!
Don't drink so much at one go.
l'll be cured immediately.
My God, l'm unable to
manage this boy.
Look what he's doing.
Come on, sleep now.
Oh my. Are you okay?
Did something go wrong?
- l'm very fine.
- Now sleep. My goodness.
Okay, you relax, l have a lot
of work pending, okay?
Will you be fine? l'm going, okay?
- Look how crazy this boy is.
He drank all the medicine. - Aunt.
Hey Shankar, after so many days,
son, you remembered.
- Look what has happened to Buddhu.
- How are you, Buddhu?
l'm dying. l'm dying.
You left home over a marriage,
and he fell ill.
Okay, you be seated.
l'll finish my bath and return.
- l have to tell you many things.
l'll do it later, okay? - Okay.
l'll leave. You be seated.
- Close the door.
- Why?
Close it, l say.
- Give me a cigarette.
- l thought you were sick?
Oh l'll tell you later.
Do you have a cigarette?
- Give me. - You'll smoke cigarettes
when you're sick?
l'll tell you. l'll tell you everything.
- Do you have matches?
- So the addiction is still there?
- Yes, yes it is, it is.
- Oh my goodness.
Ah, now l feel relieved, dear, dear.
Listen, listen, no illness no nothing.
Father has fixed my marriage.
l want to stop that marriage.
Oh, so that's why you're ill?
Now don't delay.
Don't you know my case?
l know it very well.
lt's a very difficult case.
A lot of work will be needed.
Do what ever you have to do.
The summary is, just save me, please.
l'll have to manage.
Let me see what father is doing.
Don't say anything to Shankar now.
Okay, l wont, but l'm saying
no marrying any artists.
Aha, l'm saying don't get excited.
l'll convince him later.
- Father?
- l'll finish my work and return.
Come, come, come.
Son, you both made me anxious.
You're obssessed
with an artist girl...
and won't give up unless
you marry her.
And the other one
didn't agree at first...
even if he agreed after so
much persuasion. Now he's fallen ill.
Tell me, what's the reason
for refusing the marriage?
He has a a job, has a house.
The girl is no less,
and is also educated.
Here, look at her photo. Now tell me,
what is there to reject?
But yes, if you're so stubborn
you won't marry your parents' choice...
then that's different.
Don't worry about it. l'll make
him agree. You arrange the marriage.
- What did father say? - He showed
me the picture of your future wife.
- Future wife? - See the picture once.
You might like it.
- But l didn't like her.
- Forget all that nonsense.
Tell me what you did for
which l sent you?
l tried hard to convince him...
but father is determined
to have you marry that ugly girl.
So you convinced him very well.
Do something. Bring me a rope
so l can hang myself.
You're good for nothing.
Then let me do one thing.
l'll tell father to take you to a good doctor
in Bombay. Then you'll recover quickly.
Brilliant. Just tell me how to
stop the marriage. How?
Why are you getting angry?
Listen, you flee from there
on the marriage day.
You saved me, you saved me.
l can't tolerate that
doctor doing anymore.
You can't, so shall l
say that to father?
Yes, yes, say that. But whatever
you say, do it fast.
l can't bear any more,
brother, not any more.
l can't, l can't, l can't.
Tell mother, l will never
marry that fellow.
Think over it properly. Rita,
does the one you love really love you?
- Yes, yes he really loves me.
- Really loves you?
How do you know
he really loves you?
As everyone comes to know,
as you came to know one day.
l see. l'll tell mother, but l
don't think mother will agree.
l won't do this marriage
under any condition.
No matter what it takes,
you'll have to make her agree.
- But if l can't?
- lf you can't?
- lf you can't, then you'll
lose me forever. - Rita.
- Buddhu? Hey Buddhu?
- Yes?
- Put this on.
- What, what are you doing?
Wear it, son, or you'll
catch cold, wear it.
Can anyone go out wearing
a monkey cap?
Of course. Your father went out
wearing this cap his whole life.
- Now come.
- What a problem.
Come, son come.
So then, father, l would
take Buddhu along.
There's no reason to worry.
l'll bring him for the marriage.
We'd better not say anything
about marriage to him now.
No, no, am l crazy? These days boys
change their minds every minute.
Bring him on the day of marriage.
Then it's decided.
Come, son, come.
Shankar, take care of Buddhu.
Son, he shouldn't catch cold.
Okay.
- Okay then, we'll leave.
- Be safe, be safe.
- Listen, listen.
- What?
Check the list for Rita's marriage.
What shall l check?
l don't understand all this.
No, you won't understand.
The neighbors will understand.
We need to rent a school building.
This house won't be enough.
So do it. Why ask me?
- l'll be late for college.
Don't you understand? - Humph.
Just college, college, college.
- Mother.
- What?
l say, don't force Rita
to get married like this.
To ask her or to force her,
leave that to me.
l mean, she hasn't agreed.
lsn't agreed that's why?
The marriage is arrainged already.
And now she says it isn't?
lf she does something drastic, then?
You people are capable of that,
l don't doubt it.
So does your sister think that
some prince will come...
to marry a crippled fairy like
her? All nonsense requests.
Oh my, my, l forgot
to give the picture.
These days l'm really making
too many mistakes.
- Hey Gita. Gita.
- What?
Dear, l've made a big mistake.
This is Rita's husband.
Give it to your mother.
Hold it, l'm getting late.
You don't worry.
l'll make Rita agree.
But don't say anything to her yet.
Fine, as you wish.
Oh my, l'm dying of
joint pain, dear.
Gita, what did mother say?
Don't worry at all.
Everything will be all right.
- The marriage stopped?
- Yes.
Sister, my dear sister.
- Hello?
- Wrong number.
- Greetings. How are you?
- What happened?
A mistake happened.
- Mr. Keshav.
- Yes?
- Where's Kamala Devi?
- Kamala Devi?
- Hey Tarun.
- Yes brother?
Listen.
Kamala Devi was once his colleague.
Now she's become his wife.
Why are you feeling shy, man?
Do you need something?
No l just haven't seen her.
Oh. So what's the news
about Rita Devi?
Rita Devi, where is she?
- Oh, so it's not you.
- Meaning?
- Did you get a letter?
- Letter?
- Yes, letter, a yellow letter?
- No l didn't.
Rita Devi is going to
become someone's wife.
You didn't get the letter?
We didn't either, sir.
We didn't.
- Hey, Gopi. What's the time, son?
- lt's eight o'clock.
Look at this.
They haven't come yet.
- Where's the priest?
- He's inside.
- So, what is Rita doing?
- She's crying.
Humph, all drama.
After a couple of days...
she won't be able to live
without this same husband.
Where are you going?
Check out the things, dear.
Or l'll wonder how everything
will be managed.
And tell your father to make
the guests comfortable.
Yes, call me during the rituals.
Uh, l'll die of this pain.
What is this? Raise your face,
or the make up will run.
What, are you angry? How long
will you stay angry at me?
- What, won't you talk to me?
- Why did you do this to me?
Don't worry. Everything
will be all right.
You go away from here.
Leave me alone. You go.
Buddhu, what are you
thinking of so much?
l am thinking how easily
people forget.
Who's forgotten?
The one whom l placed in my heart.
- Did she go to someone else's heart?
- That's what l heard.
- Girls shouldn't be trusted.
- Everyone has the same question.
There's no point in thinking about it.
Come, let's go out a little.
- Come, come.
- Where to go?
There's a function
l have to attend. Come.
Take this.
Well, brother Keshav, have you
fallen for someone. l mean...
What, didn't l tell you?
l fell, but not properly
That's why l'm like
a crazy man now.
Stop ahead.
Hey, hey look, brother Keshav.
Brother Keshav.
- What?
- There, mister Kumar.
- Kumar?
- Come, come, come.
Come, let's see.
What is this? lt seems
to be a marriage house.
You said a function.
l guess the matter is...
No, no nothing like that.
The functions here happen to be
like this. Don't be nervous. Come.
Everything is adulterated.
Nothing is original.
Hey Shankar, you people have come.
Well, well, well, well.
But Buddhu is wearing a suit.
Are we Englishmen?
Oh that's a mistake.
He'll change right away.
Hurry up!
Shankar, you trapped me even after
being my brother. Shame!
The barber has come but
the groom is missing.
Hey Ramesh, where is your son?
Here he is, directly from the office.
Oh ho, ho, that's why
the jacket and pants.
How times have changed, Ramesh.
Boys don't even
have time to get married.
Doesn't matter, doesn't matter.
Now l'll give him the wedding clothes.
But, son your face looks very dull?
Well it's because the whole
day of toiling in the office.
Well, well, come, son come.
Hey you all, the groom's arrived.
The groom has come.
The groom has come.
The groom is here. The groom
has come. The groom is here.
Ah, l'm hurt. l'm hurt!
Take off the clothes. Take off,
take off, take off.
- Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
- Why?
- What happened?
- l'll go there.
- Meaning? - Meaning l'm a little,
a little... - Feeling shy.
- Yes.
- Okay, okay go. A shy groom.
- Wear this, wear this.
- You wear it.
Ran away, the groom ran away.
- Look how l harass him.
- Ran away, ran away.
- Who ran away?
- The groom.
- The groom?
- What?
- What?
- Come, come let's see.
- Come, come. The groom ran away.
- The groom ran away.
Check there. There, there.
What a disaster. What shall l do?
The girls are in that
room. Go sit there.
- Strange that he ran away.
- Who ran away?
lt's a disaster. The groom ran away.
The groom ran away.
Yes, the groom ran away.
Watch out. Speak quietly.
Your aunt can't know.
Go, go, go see where he went.
- Hey.
- What?
- The groom.
- What?
The groom, catch him, catch him.
- Catch him, catch the groom.
Catch him. - There that side.
- There, you go there.
- That way. Go there.
There, he's running.
Catch him, catch him.
There he is. Catch him, catch him.
- Where?
- Hey, he's not here.
- Hey, go that side.
- Where?
- Check out there.
- Let's see.
- That's it.
- Where did he go?
- How could he disappear like that?
- Did you look there?
- Come, come on, fast.
- Hey, hey!
Hey. You'll fall down.
Watch out, watch out.
Go there. There.
- What's this? Why are you here?
- You?
Why, don't you recognize me?
Of course l recognize you.
You're that pickpocket.
- Look, l won't call the police today.
- This is pointless.
- Please leave - Where should l go?
- How should l know?
- Look, there they are, they are.
- Go l say.
- Look l'm in trouble so you...
- Go!
- Oh my God. Hey, hey, hey!
- What happened?
- What happened?
- What happened?
- There, in the window.
- Where? Who's there?
Let me see who it is.
Where? No one's here.
Come on, come on. You all put on
the saris and get ready.
- What happened?
- The groom ran away.
What is this? You're here?
l knew you'd come for me.
Look, look, look,
it's a very big mistake.
- Actually l was going to die, but
you've saved me. - Yes, yes.
- Now you take me away from here
right now. - Look, look.
The one you love isn't me.
- lt's my...
- lt's you. l love only you.
- No.
- Catch him, catch him!
- Look, they're coming to nab me.
- Don't be afraid. l'll close the door.
There he is. Catch him.
- Got you!
- lt's not me, it's not me!
- Here l am, dhoti.
- l'm dhoti. l'm pant.
l, l, l, mean...
- There, there. Catch him.
- Catch him.
- Got you.
- Hey what's happening?
- Don't run, don't run.
- Look, look, you don't understand.
- l do understand, son.
- l'm Shankar.
- Bholanath. - What a problem. Look, l
appear to be... - Just like a prince.
Put him in the wedding clothes.
Why are you standing here?
Come on, hurry up.
- Look, look, it's a very big mistake.
- Mistake?
- Yes.
- l never make mistakes, son.
- This is the actual groom.
- ls it? Then what's this?
- They both look the same. Are they...
- Twins, of course.
Oh ho, ho, ho, ho. Son,
l made a small mistake.
Here, put this on.
l haven't seen such a marriage,
ever in my life, dear.
lf there's a good man,
then move away.
Otherwise she'll eat
up the brains.
Now let them have the first look.
Look at each other.
You?
- Do they know each other?
- Yes, something's fishy.
Am l dreaming or what?
- Get out, get away.
- What are you saying, to whom?
To whom? To you, skilled boy.
- Mother, what are you doing?
- The drama of love, my dear.
- Aha ha ha.
- Don't say anything to him.
Oh my, who is this?
Whatever it is, say it to me.
Oh my, what is this?
Oh Rauma's mother, hold me.
Oh my, what is this? What's
all this? A ghost or what?
Rauma's mother, call my husband.
Send him here immediately.
But still one more is left,
understand, Chatterjee?
- Ghost, ghost.
- What ghost?
- Yes, aunt.
- Aunt ghost.
What happened, dear, what happened?
- What's the matter?
- Look there.
- What did Shankar do?
- He didn't do anything.
- They're twins.
- Twins?
- So you were also deceived, dear.
- You be quiet.
- That boy wanted to marry Gita.
- Oh. Ramesh...
this son of yours wanted
to marry my other daughter.
But my wife refused because
he works in cinema.
That's why l, too,
wasn't on good terms with him.
But, you said you want to
marry some artist girl?
- No l mean...
- My daughter is an artist.
She paints very well, and has
won first prize in exhibitions.
Oh l see. That means
she's not an actress?
How could my daughter
be an actress?
Oh my. Then why didn't
you tell me before now?
You're a first class fool.
Because of this foolishness
l knocked you out of my property.
Won't he get the property now?
Of course, why not?
After all, l'm his father.
That means he'll get the property.
Listen, get Gita married
to this boy.
He knows a little bit of music.
That's good.
So, Ramesh, what's your opinion?
That's fine. The sooner the better.
Mother, then let the marriage
take place on this auspicious occasion.
Rightly said, son rightly said.
Did you see, dear, how l got
both daughters married off?
Yes got them married instantly,
one after the other.
Did you do that, or did it happen
because of my scolding?
- Oh, yes, yes. - Hey you all, start
the celebration. - Yes, yes.
- Gita.
- You? You're here?
- ls the marriage over?
- l was married a long time ago.
- Why did you come here. Go, go away.
- lf l don't go?
l beg of you, go from here.
Don't just stand there. Go.
- What will people say if they see?
- Let them say, what's the harm?
You might not be harmed,
but what about Rita?
Here you are.
l see everyone's involved.
You wicked girl.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
- Come on, give your hand.
- What's this?
No, no, no, no,
nothing can happen now.
Nothing can happen now.
Why not, lady, why not?
Better late than never.
How do you do, pickpocket?
What is this? You both...
Shame, shame, how embarrassing.
- Don't be nervous.
- You're a real fool.
As you say.
Well, so retired lover, extension.
But if the misunderstanding
happens again?
- Then it will be a problem.
- Then let's exchange positions.
