Are you well Uncle?
What news, Brother?
- All fine.
Going to plough your land?

Okay, brother.
- Okay.
Meloo! Can you imagine the way
Dharm Singh has treated them?

He has given four bighas of
land to his share-cropper
But the people do not consider
the share-croppers important
We have worked for so long
Dulla throw us out
Dharm Singh has kept
his father's promise, so far
If all follow his example,
the ills of this world will end
Greetings
Greetings
| had put fodder long time ago
They've been looking for you.
-Father was unwell, Brother
What happened? I'll go to meet him
Come along, beloved ones!
Stand here.
Give it to me.
0.K, Brother!
- May you live long!
God bless you.
Turn, turn. Good.
Barber Kertaro's son
shall be wedded tomorrow
Did you want to stop it?
All of Jagsir's age-group
are married
And your Jagsir has grown old
Mohla's son is 3 years younger
than he. He's got 2 children
Nandi! I will not comply
with your wish
If the match is good, what is
the harm in paying money?
| married off my daughters
without getting money...
How can I go against
my principles?
Won't pay even one paisa.
Haven't you understood?
| understood when I left everything
for you But when will you understand?
Don't you know why
no one enters your house?
Only you yell all the time.
How did they accept my daughters?
| told you earlier.
As the matches were not good.
| urged you to earn some money
For them I went from pillar to post.
Why suffer for a son?
| got a son after 4 daughters
I'll see him married
0.K. Have your own way
Namiya! Are you a foreigner?
You're a match-maker
You should have thought...
...before bringing a proposal
for Jagsir
Better to push the girl
into a well
Nobody knows of the boy's
maternal grandparents
Who will give their girl into
that house? Who will get insulted?
Nandi was forsaken by her
parents for her affair with Thola
Who is scrubbing her son clean?
Dear mother is scrubbing her
son clean
Dear mother is scrubbing her
son clean
Dear mother is scrubbing her
son clean
Who has made the courtyard muddy?
Who spilt the water?
Who has made the courtyard muddy?
Who spilt the water?
The grandson bathed
He spilt the water
Come Ratni. Sit down
Hay! What news?
Today I have come to get news,
not to give it
Who is being
scrubbed and washed?
It is the marriage of Barber
Kaetaro's son Nikka's!
As if you don't know?
Really? Nikka's marriage?
Yes! Isn't he a man?
You are acting ignorant.
- Don't you know him?
Many a time has he
been thrashed by Santo
This isn't news. His mother'd...
...nibble at the tender leaves
when his father was alive
Who would give his daughter
to a man like him?
Those greedy for money
3000 to the girl's parents...
...their barber told me...
Like this, one can marry off
even animals
What else?
Brother-in-law! Why have you
come alone this day?
Why haven't you brought your
sisters this day?
Eat this
You won't get this everyday
Brother-in law! You have small
eyes, with sticking flies
Ward off the evil eye
Give it to me.
Have you brought him from the
jungle, that buddy of yours?
He is our bosom friend
What are you saying?
He is a show piece of a bull
His horns well oiled
Don't think him that modest
He'll kick your behind so hard
you won't stop rubbing it
Are you all wild bulls...
...or are there
any tamed ones?
| am the tamed one
Can take on four like you
Now speak.
First deal with one
Don't worry!
We'll tame this shrew
Really? - Do you want proof?
This buddy will take her along
even without ceremony...
What are you waiting for?
Hey; you spider!
First teach him how to speak...
...when hungry, he would mumble,
Mum..mmum, give me milk
Come on! Drink it
- Drink.
No. - Drink.
No, thanks buddy!
What happens to you?
Yesterday at the marriage...
...you were shrinking away from
the girls!
What happens to you?
Cheela! Don't remind me of that!
What happened?
You don't know
how she stared at him!
Who?
The one with the big eyes
Which one? Tell me.
The one with the green scarf
Wow.
If she was after me,
| would squeeze her like this.
- Oh my God.
He is not doing anything.
Always talking of girls,
you have no sense
You tell us, what is sense?
It does not grow on trees.
Sense is the way you take it
Ant it..
And you have wasted all the
wisdom we gave you
Let it be, brother.
Whatever we have drunk,
that intoxication will also wear off.
That's it
Won't you get up?
It is noon already
It's high time you go
for work
Let me sleep a little longer
Get up and go for work
I have to go to the well
for prayers
You have rubbed your heels for years,
did your deity appear?
Tell him to bless you
with a girl if not a boy
You'll get it from me now
Come buddy, Jagsir
She is in a bad mood!
Unless she abuses me
her day does not start
But you have a good time.
She cooks and you eat
What else do you want?
Go on, make fun of me
I've managed with her somehow
Someone like you would
leave her in four days.
Manage..
- Are you still rotting here?
I am going.
Do not insult me in the
presence of a friend...
...| am your husband!
You are husband
of your mother also
If you don't return in time,
you'll get it
I'm going!
Going.. Your buddy has come.
Take some opium and
enjoy yourself..
...lying down somewhere
Everyday the same tension
Jagsir!
- Yes!
Let us first be on our feet
| too am unwell
You'll be well pretty soon
Jagsir! - Yes!
Listen to my advice
Don't get married
| have been praying
for the last ten years...
...you have not blessed me
| bore people's taunts...
...but continued praying
If you don't bless me
| won't come to you again
Give me the corn seeds.
Aunt, my mother has
given me less corn seeds.
You manage with this.
| will add some more for you.
But for that you will
have to be my son. Will you?
Look! He goes there.
- Stop! Jagsir
Let's catch him. There he goes.
Come, come.
Hold the sweets. Don't drop them.
Jagsir! Wait Jagsir!
Jagsir! - What is the matter?
Where were you?
- We went to your house.
Where were you?
| am going to the field.
- Go for work later
Come with us
Where to?
- First tell him where we have to go.
Come along We'll not hang you.
- No.
| have to go to the fields.
- You come with us.
Listen. There he is going.
Working the whole day!
Is that right?
Where are you dragging
him to?
Nikka.
Yes.
We have to cheer him up.
- I see.
Good we met you, you come along too.
No, no. I have work to do.
- Hold him.
Take him along.
- Come.
Go along.
- Leave my hand.
Walk ahead.
Walk ahead.
Why are you struggling?
Mother.
Why have you brought my kitten?
Your kitten has totally changed
after marriage
He thinks he has wedded
a beauty from London
What happened?
- What beauty hey!
After a few days, she'll be
working in your house anyway
Move ahead.
Make sure that you have not
come empty-handed
She is our daughter-in-law.
Instead of sweets we have
brought her smart husband
Amazing.
She seems smarter than Nikka
Tell her, or we will
Confront her directly
Aunt! Am I not the youngest?
Now you are all
younger than he
Get aside.
First it is the turn of
the youngest one
Take your present and
show us your face
You persuade her,
or we'll have our own way
Lift your veil. The adamant
curs are on a spree
So many times we have saved
you from Santo's beating
Now you're pretending
to be innocent
Don't talk nonsense
Shut up.
Want to see sister-in-law's
face? - Yes.
Shall I show you?
- Show.
It was a flashing glimpse
She has not returned
the worth of the sweetmeat
Come on.
How are you, buddy?
All right! How are you?
Great.
Share the grub.
- You go ahead.
| am going round the fields.
- Fine.
Come on. Step in.
Why are you peeping like thieves?
| came to see N.|kka
He just went out
Didn't you come across him?
L...no...l
Why are you confused?
Do you want to pass a message?
Yes, I..
L...I'll meet him
I'll meet Nikka.
Crazy fellow.
Love is crazy.
Love is crazy.
One should not get addicted.
One should not get addicted.
Love is crazy.
Love is crazy.
How are you?
Am fine.
The one who goes after the heart.
The one who goes after the heart.
How will he explain to the heart?
Love has made twists.
Love has made twists.
Heart is getting
stuck in the twists.
Heart is getting
stuck in the twists.
Love is crazy.
Love is crazy.
Without seeing her face..
...I don't feel like
passing from there.
Red fairy is gone into me.
My heart cries for her.
Why are you ruining
your health?
Speak your mind
| am your friend.
- There is nothing to say
Have I ever hidden
anything from you?
Swear by God and tell me
have I hidden anything from you?
No.
There is nothing..
- Why are you making a fool of me?
You are ruining yourself
since you fall for her
Who has fallen for her?
You have been speaking around
her house, since she left
To fall in love is not a sin
Everyone knows that
Nikka can't do anything.
This is a job of a man.
| am happy you have some pep
and courage
Why are you beating about the bush!
Just beat around the bush!
Hello, aunt.
Uncle! How are you?
| am ready to depart
We will not let you go.
Jagsir is just bringing the doctor.
If doctors could save us
then no one would die.
| had called you so that...
Yes, tell me. What is the matter?
Don't keep any secret.
How are you?
Bear with it
Why feel the pulse?
The journey is over
Nothing is wrong with you.
Take this medicine.
Give it with warm water
Dharm Singh!
| have given the medicine.
But trust in God
Whatever God wishes will happen.
Fulfil his wish
Have some offerings
made to the poor
Now he..
Well uncle, what is the matter?
Dharm Singh!
| had called you so that...
Speak out. I am just like your son
Praise be yours!
Praise be yours!
Can anyone else behave with
me the way you have?
| have to hand over
his responsibility to you
Why are you talking like that?
You have a lot to do yet.
Treat him like your brother..
...the way your father treated me
Keep your hand on his head.
Take care of him from now on
See him married and
settled in life
QK.
As you wish
May God bless you.
One thing for you, Jagsir...
Look after the sheesham tree...
...and make my marhi under the tree
O.K! I'll make a move
You keep in touch
Aunt! Don't worry
It shall be all right
God almighty!
Give me strength
to carry out your will.
And bless me so that
I can fulfill my oath.
Brother! - Jagsir?
Brother! Father..
Jagsir!
Father has left us
Brace yourself.
Who can avoid this?
Oh God!
Leaving us behind...
...which distant land
have you departed to?
| told you so many times.
Insisted you to do something...
...to have a grandson
to touch your bier
Now we'll not get salvation
If you had spent some money,
we wouldn't see this day
You have gone away easily,
now what will I do?
Oh God..
Punjabo told me...
What Punjabo has said
| know...
...but do you know how much
land my father had...
...when he took uncle
Thole to work...
...and how much it is now?
Land must have multiplied
belonging to many people...
...but did anyone make a marhi
of a share-cropper?
What right do you have over
the land?
These four bighas of land
my father had given them...
Sheesham tree was planted by
uncle Thola...
...and he has nursed it like his
own child
Does this transfer the land to
their name?
When it is given to them,
why transfer?
How can they become owners
without that?
Who can become the owner of
the earth?
Earth is the master of all
Has anyone brought it at birth
...or taken along at death?
You just keep giving lectures.
You'll become a recluse,
leaving us in the lurch
Come, have your food
What is the matter Dharm Singh?
You are so worried.
A wind of change is setting in.
It may uproot everything
Sometimes, along with the
trees the roots are also uprooted.
May I say something?
You've not done well in making
Thola's marhi in your fields
What's wrong with that, Jeona?
The land belongs to Thola,
and the tree is also his
| am only doing my duty
Sometimes it is better
to watch your interest
Look at the way
the world is moving
| cannot do that
| am telling you as a friend...
...that it may not disintegrate
your own house
Dharm Singh had given
4 acres of land to Jagsir.
He made a marhi on it too..
But making a marhi
now is inauspicious.
You know a marhi is made..
...in the remembrance of a person.
Wonder what the matter is.
He knows Jagsir will not get married.
He has made a lot of efforts.
But what Jagsir must be going through.
He is doomed.
You have taken your share, why
are you cutting more fodder?
It is only a handful
| spend for the seeds and
the manure, and you take all
Leave it here,
otherwise it won't be good.
What is the matter?
These share-croppers are
crossing the limit
Things are changing.
Share- croppers are becoming obsolete
It is due to rising prices
You are right, Bhanta
Wonder where this
inflation will take us.
Bless you.
You let him take the bullocks
after I had refused
You know very well
that this is our tradition
Won't you change this
thirty year old tradition?
I cannot do this
I have to honour my word
Who stops you from doing that!
They work and eat...
...they think they are the
owners of the land
You know well these 4 bighas
your grandfather gave them
I thought it would end after
his death...
...you have made his marhi in
the fields
Look the way the world
is changing
People have started working
on contract and daily wages
I'll do it
Watch the times.
You are not watching the times.
People with less land
are buying tractors...
...we are goading bullocks
Have you ever thought of
their feelings?
Nandi would die of shock
We'll not hang them
They work and get their wages
Don't be rash!
Don't forget
the word of honour I gave
That's why I have waited so
long
Have patience!
I'll do what you want
He will not listen.
That old woman has charmed him.
| am patient since
he is my father,
...after all,
I've waited so long
Let us see
for some more time
Darling daughter, what type
of husband would you like?
My dear daughter.
Well, darling daughter
| have found a smart guy.
| have found a smart guy.
Dear father,
| want a smart guy.
Well, darling daughter
| have found a smart guy.
| have a prince
For my darling daughter.
Bhani darling...
It is by God's grace
that we are married
Where is mother?
How would I know?
Do you both ever tell me where you go!
| know that you are
annoyed with me...
...because I don't tell you
where I go
Don't worry about me.
| know you love me very much
My love! I can't eat
without seeing you
Ah my darling! What can I do!
The whole village waits for me
Yes! Because you scrub
their utensils well
Don't get impatient
I'll return soon
Sister-in-law! Give me my doll
I'll give it to you.
First tell me...
- What?
...who came that day?
Those to whom I showed your face?
One was Geba, and the other...
Who stayed behind, the tall one?
That one! His name is Jagsir
He is very nice. He gave me sweets
He was asking about you.
Sister-in-law! Give me my doll
Take the doll.
Seebo!
What is this?
- A doll!
It is a beautiful doll.
Who gave it to you?
Sister-in-law gave it to me.
Is that so.
Is Nikka at home?
Nikka? No. He and mother
have gone to attend a marriage
Okay. You go and play with the doll.
Nikka!
Nikka!
Nikka.
Are you at home?
Nikka.
Nikka.
Who is there?
Jagsir.
| wanted to meet Nikka.
Was there any work?
No! Yes! Some work...
Can't you tell me...
Come on! Sit for a while
I will get water for you.
I--
You fool!
God has given you good looks,
...hasn't he
given you courage?
Let us exchange a glance,
at least
O.K!'l go
Let your husband come!
You'll get it from him
This bitch has slurred my name
Who is he of yours?
Why don't you speak? - Oh God!
That is why you ignored me
Now you are happy?
Tell me.
Oh God! - They have sent
this bitch to our house.
She is flirting with that guy.
Call him now.
You shameless bitch!
| won't spare you.
| will change my name
if I don't teach you a lesson
You call me pygmy!
You call me pygmy! You call me pygmy!
A handful of money
was not given for this
How dare he come to my house.
What is the matter Jagsir?
What is the matter?
I'll crush that bastard
You look very angry today.
| have overheard everything
What?
- I will break his hands.
Where are you going, Jagsir?
Get lost.
Hey Nikka!
Come out
Come out Nikka
Rascal.
What is the matter?
- I'll tell you what the matter is
Do you want to give your sister
to me?
Come out of your mother's lap!
We'll see who takes whom!
Go back! Go back!
Come out! I'll take your sister!
I'll take your mother,
you bastard!
Wait don't go.
How dare he, this dog!
He comes to my house!
| say, leave me.
Stop. - You rascal.
You beat a woman.
Go away.
This is all because of you!
You have got me insulted.
You will be cursed.
He is hiding inside
just like a girl.
What does he think? Hitting a woman.
Come on.
Let it be. Come on.
We will talk to him later.
Aunt! This is bad indeed
let us not, prolong the matter
And Nikka, you also listen
Hush up the matter
It would be nice
if you could advice Jagsir
For that we'll talk
to Dharm Singh
He will handle.
- Explain to him.
If he were alive,
he would die of shock
Or he would have
drowned himself
Stop this, mother
You won't get any blame
for the rest of your life
My stigma has not been
removed as yet...
...and you have brought
on another
The major hindrance
is Nandi's parents
They ask about the parents
and immediately say...
...the same Nandi who eloped
with Thola
Come to the point now.
What is the response
from your relative?
Had proposed to my
sister-in-law's daughter. But...
Come on! Be frank
They want that the four bighas
of land...
...being cultivated by Jagsir be
transferred to his name
Will this wash off
Nandi's stigma?
My father tried his best to
transfer it to Thola's name...
...the rule of the land did not
permit it
My present position you know
Think over it
The choice is yours
Money, land, property...
...Is this the end of everything?
Shall man ever be
considered as man?
There shall be no caste,
no creed
Is that why
people call you God?
You have got me humiliated
Rascal!
What had I done to you
What is the matter?
Santo has eloped with someone
She was always too lively
Please! Go away!
Why are you tormenting me!
Don't make fun of him
Go your way
Let's go.
The times are very bad.
Why should she have eloped
like that?
| pity Ronki
He danced attendance on her
But he failed.
Her only problem was that she
could not have an issue
She prayed, but it was all in vain
A woman's worth is accepted
with a child only
Harder.
Come on harder.
Brother..
These grains are not to be
taken to the market
Bhanta told us to load them
What is the matter?
You know that grains of our
fields are never sold
You load it. It is not his
father's property
Don't abuse Bhante
- I'll do what I wish
That'll not be good
- What will you do?
Move back.
Let Dharm Singh come
I'll abide by his word
Now my word shall prevail. Keep it.
I'll not let the
grains go to the market
Will you move back or no?
Useless fellow.
Watch your mouth.
Watch my mouth with you..
Should I wear garlands for you?
Move aside. I say move aside.
| say..
All of them have been pampered.
Move aside.
- I will raise my hand on you.
You dare to..
Move aside. Load it.
| had said and gone that
first give Jagsir his share.
First we give them their plough.
First give them water.
All these things have pampered them.
Otherwise how dare a servant
speak in front of his boss.
The land which you think
you are the owner of..
...they consider it as their mother.
Thola uncle used to consider
the seeds as his children.
That's why I say, have patience.
We have had a lot of patience, father.
Then beat them and throw
them out of the house.
If this continues, then |
will have to think about this matter.
Now you have had your way for long.
Since we have been working with them..
...or we keep grains to eat at home,
it's a problem.
Get up.
Have tea and have your medicine too.
Nandram had given the
medicine in the morning.
Take this.
Take.
My knees are giving trouble.
You take care of your health.
Jagsir.
Brother, you here at this time?
Thought I will meet you and go.
Take this. Keep it.
What is this? - The money
of your share of the grains.
Keep it.
No brother.
There is no need for this.
Whatever has happened let it pass.
Keep this quietly in your pocket.
I will do whatever I can.
Later there will be no problem.
Jagsir, take care of your health.
This liquor will kill you.
| have spoken at some place.
Hopefully it will succeed.
About what?
Crazy! Can you lead
your life like this.
Don't lose hope.
Jagsir!
Bhani!
Bhani! You have come
| was confident that you would come
| longed to hear your footsteps
Where were you?
Why did you take so long?
Every moment my heart
throbbed for you...
...but I was afraid
of what people would think
Those who love, never fear anyone
If you are not afraid
why should I fear anyone!
Bhani!
You taught me to live
You enkindled the flame of love in me.
Now I can openly
express my love for you
Yes. I love Bhani.
| wish to see my beloved.
One goes crazy.
A partition is created in hearts.
A partition is created in hearts.
| am so lonely.
Love is crazy.
Love is crazy.
Love does not look behind.
It just moves ahead.
| may be unhappy.
| may be unhappy.
My beloved should not be hurt.
Love is crazy.
Love is crazy.
Do you live in the village?
Where shall I go!
| have come after 2 years..
...and it is fifteen
days since I have come.
Didn't you feel like meeting me!
Why do you blame me, Bhani!
Many a time I thought
of meeting you, but...
You didn't have the courage..
...but I've come to share your woes
My brothers were not allowing
me to come to this hell
| have come with my hopes on you.
I'll go back if you wish
How can you do that!
What have you done to yourself!
Without you everything, Bhani.
Without you everything changed
Everything has become
lifeless within me
| can breathe life
into you if you desire
Have the guts.
Why live in sin!
Why get blemished!
These acts are never forgiven
Already past sins are
weighing heavily on us
Why add more to it!
If meeting of two hearts is a curse..
...what is a blessing then!
Who can alter..
...the writing of fate!
Is it only for us that
fate has written all that is ill!
Is ill luck only for us?
Of the rich,
even the Goddess of fate is afraid
They grease her palms
What have we to give!
This tin of opium
Take.
| somehow passed ten
or twelve years with Santo...
...that rascal has
discarded you for ever
Who to complain to!
We have no one in both the worlds
Those on this earth
are for the rich...
...and the one above
is also not with us.
Stop it!
Let it be.
We can't cope with it
be losing heart like this
This is the writing of fate.
Who can escape the cycle of Karma
You have given all the
pleasures to the rich...
...incestuous Bastard!
Divide equally the pain, at least
Bhanta's marriage was to take place.
It's about that?
His marriage was over yesterday
Then it may be about
Bachittar's son's marriage
Has he a son of marriageable age?
Yes! The one with slimy eyes
Rascal! Keeps a
stammering the whole day
He is getting married.
Marriages are not made between persons
Marriages are made between lands,
riches and houses
You are absolutely right.
This voice seems
like that of our Bhani
Forget it pal!
Scrubbing your utensil, hey!
No problem.
These thoughts prevail in big houses
Why did he get five hundred?
| suspect he gave it to Jagsir
That way he'll reduce us to ashes
At every step, money is needed
To book a tractor we need money
They hand over the
bill for a sack of manure
To install a pump we need money
Barter of grains doesn't get anything
What are you doing?
Mind your words please!
Why did you get five
hundred from the dealer?
Who told you?
| have seen the account book myself
Now you both have stooped to that
Was this property made
by you or your mother?
My right on this inherited
property is equal to yours
If you persist in your ways,
you divide the land...
...and you can throw
your share to the dogs
You have lived your life.
| have just begun
How can I give up those...
...who have toiled for
us throughout their lives?
I never thought Bhanta
will come to that
| feel like separating him...
...but who'll face
the gossip of the people
By dividing the land you
cannot stop the changing times
You should flow along
with the current of time
| told you this when
you had made the Marhi
Then noble deeds have no place in life
Money! Land!
Property! These are the end of life
Well! That is the writing of fate...
...God's decree
Call it what you may,
it is the trend of the times
No one can stop it
Go with the time..
or else its in front of you.
You asked as a friend so I told you.
Now do what you wish.
You are sensible.
| understand
How can I undo the noble
deeds done during my life time?
Oh gosh!
Jagsir.
My son, take this!
Bring eight annas
worth of rice and jaggery
Take this
| am left with only one rupee
With that,
buy me a shroud when I am dead
I'll not put a cheap shroud on you...
...but a silken shawl
worth fifty rupees
A shawl of silk or flannel!
That won't obtain salvation for me
You are always evasive. Ask me.
But I'll become a ghost after death...
...there is no grandson
to touch my bier
Grandsons don't bring salvation.
It is brought by money
The job should be done
before Jagsir reaches the fields
Don't worry!
It will be over before dawn
My men are very skilled
at wielding weapons
The root is very deep.
Seems it was planted with great care.
- Do it fast.
Who is it?
Stop! You rascal!
Don't beat me!
I did not do anything.
Don't beat me.
Don't beat me.
Have you cut this tree?
We were told to do it.
We have not done it
according to our wish.
Shah told you.
- We don't know whose it is.
Rascal.
Have you seen it!
You toiled for them your whole life
| also worked for them
Hey, Dharm Singh! What have you done?
You should have thought,
before doing this
I'll burn myself at your threshold!
Oh Dharm!
What did you do?
Aunt! What is the matter?
Don't curse here in the lanes.
Come inside
Come, come inside.
Come inside.
Dharm..
Come, sit here.
Now tell me.
You should have kept your word
Why did you rake up his ashes!
You are just like my son
You felled his tree.
He had nursed it like his children
What did you do?
You dog! Our tree,
was it born with your husband?
As if you are the owner.
We have cut the tree.
Let me see what you will do.
No one has cut your tree
I'll see.
Everything shall be all right
Why did you do it? What did you get!
| told you, no one has cut your tree
Get up. Come.
Come. Go home.
Come. - What have you done, Dharm?
Come, I will drop you home.
Come.
Don't worry.
Being hard of hearing
| can't even understand clearly
Aunt, don't worry. - Jagsir
told me that the tree was felled
You..
How is Aunt now?
She is so shocked...
...that she has not
eaten since four days
Nand Lal said that
her days are numbered
If our own offspring
is so heartless...
...then why live at all!
Why care for a world like this!
Jagsir!
You toiled your whole
life for these demons
You have left me in the lurch
They have raked up your ashes
You great one!
If you were wise,
you would have done something for us
Oh gosh!
| am lost from both the worlds.
Oh God!
You'll ever be cursed, Dharm Singh!
What did you get
by breaking his marhi?
Mother!
Get up, go lie down inside!
Don't lose heart! Get up!
Mother..
Greetings, brother!
Sit here.
Jagsir!
| treated her like my own mother
Take this for the obituary ceremony
No brother!
Keep it. It will be of use to you.
The basis of all relations is love
My own people have become strangers
You are distressed that
you have no one in this world
You have no descendents
In spite of all I have,
| feel deprived of everything
No, brother. Don't say that.
For God's sake, don't say such things.
Did you get any clue?
| went to aunt at Bhatinda,
and visited Bhoonder
Didn't get any clue
Didn't you ask the dealer?
Yes.
He has not gone there
after the felling of the tree
Forget it! We can do without him
You handled the work well earlier
Work I'll handle,
but what about the people!
They'll say,
| have turned my father out
You take charge of the work,
I'll handle the people
No clue has been found of Dharm Singh
Don't lose heart like this!
| am there buddy!
| am there.
Ronki..
Enough.
Ronki! I am not worried about myself
| am worried about brother Dharm Singh
Where shall he jostle
around at this age!
Enough.
O God! You are so unjust
Enough.
He gave us sorrows.
He did not spare people
like Dharm Singh too.
How are you, dear ones!
No one has given you enough fodder
You don't speak.
How have you become so weak?
Listen..
You are no more required
People are fond of work alone
They don't care for you.
Love and affection..
...Dharm Singh has taken along with him
You did what you wanted to.
Do you want to take them away too!
You have come to show your love!
He has not returned
home for four months...
...and now you've come
to rejoice over our sufferings
Get lost from here.
Otherwise I won't spare you.
What happened?
Come, come.
This pain is killing.
If you don't want to eat then what?
The body needs food.
You cannot leave it.
Now what will I do by living?
Now what will I do?
| don't have anyone besides you.
Ro.. Ronki!
Did you meet Bhani?
Yes! I met her. At a wedding.
Good for her.
Now I won't go to meet her.
Give her my message
Tell her...
...to mop my marhi
You'll make it, I am sure
Stop this hey! Stop this!
Lie down.
Don't die.
Don't die, my friend.
Oh man! You have ten spans of life...
You have lived only one.
Where have the other nine gone?
Wise men have divided
Man's life into ten parts
Each part consists of ten years.
Making in all hundred
After every decade Man's life changes
Oh man!
You have ten spans of life...
You have lived only on..
...where have the other nine gone?
Yes, Jagsir yes!
Brother..
They say there was life before...
...and there is a life after.
One has to account
for one's previous life.
I have not tingled God's tail
Rascal, wise men say this
They say..
After being reborn..
...eighty-four lakh times...
...the soul gets into a man's body
How is this accounted for?
Tell me?
Tell me..
Mother..
| ask..
...if after the cycle...
...of birth and rebirth
eighty-four Lakh times...
God..
| say..
...one doesn't want
to be born as man...
Do they force you...
...into a man's body?
There is no justice then
We would...
...like to be born as spiders, lizards
How does it bother them anyway!
Dogs!
Enough.
That bull with big horns...
...with a huge mace...
...trampling the fields... - Jagsir.
...the elephant...
Jagsir.
...dragging the tree...
You lie down.
You lie down.
I will bring Nandlal.
It is one month since
he stopped eating
He is completely broken from within
Intoxicants have added to the damage
I had examined him carefully
Now you have come. Take these packets
Jagsir.
Oh, Jagsir.
You can't go like this.
You can't do what you wish.
Don't I have any rights?
What have you done?
What have you done?
My friend!
Jagsir, my friend.
You have left this world...
...and we are completely ruined
Wise men have said,
the house of love.
Is never lonely.
Flowers are put there.
Flowers are put there.
Lamps of memories flourish there.
Lamps of memories flourish there.
O.K. Mother
O.K Father
| am leaving.
May you live long!
I may join you, if I am well
Take some rest
| can manage - Okay.
Are you well Uncle?
What news, Brother?
- All fine.
Going to plough your land?
-Yes, buddy
Okay, brother.
- Okay.
Meloo! Can you imagine the way
Dharm Singh has treated them?
Who can match him?
He has given four bighas of
land to his share-cropper
But the people do not consider
the share-croppers important
We have worked for so long
Dulla throw us out
Dharm Singh has kept
his father's promise, so far
If all follow his example,
the ills of this world will end
Greetings
Greetings
| had put fodder long time ago
They've been looking for you.
-Father was unwell, Brother
What happened? I'll go to meet him
Come along, beloved ones!
Stand here.
Give it to me.
0.K, Brother!
- May you live long!
God bless you.
Turn, turn. Good.
Barber Kertaro's son
shall be wedded tomorrow
Did you want to stop it?
All of Jagsir's age-group
are married
And your Jagsir has grown old
Mohla's son is 3 years younger
than he. He's got 2 children
Nandi! I will not comply
with your wish
If the match is good, what is
the harm in paying money?
| married off my daughters
without getting money...
How can I go against
my principles?
Won't pay even one paisa.
Haven't you understood?
| understood when I left everything
for you But when will you understand?
Don't you know why
no one enters your house?
Only you yell all the time.
How did they accept my daughters?
| told you earlier.
As the matches were not good.
| urged you to earn some money
For them I went from pillar to post.
Why suffer for a son?
| got a son after 4 daughters
I'll see him married
0.K. Have your own way
Namiya! Are you a foreigner?
You're a match-maker
You should have thought...
...before bringing a proposal
for Jagsir
Better to push the girl
into a well
Nobody knows of the boy's
maternal grandparents
Who will give their girl into
that house? Who will get insulted?
Nandi was forsaken by her
parents for her affair with Thola
Who is scrubbing her son clean?
Dear mother is scrubbing her
son clean
Dear mother is scrubbing her
son clean
Dear mother is scrubbing her
son clean
Who has made the courtyard muddy?
Who spilt the water?
Who has made the courtyard muddy?
Who spilt the water?
The grandson bathed
He spilt the water
Come Ratni. Sit down
Hay! What news?
Today I have come to get news,
not to give it
Who is being
scrubbed and washed?
It is the marriage of Barber
Kaetaro's son Nikka's!
As if you don't know?
Really? Nikka's marriage?
Yes! Isn't he a man?
You are acting ignorant.
- Don't you know him?
Many a time has he
been thrashed by Santo
This isn't news. His mother'd...
...nibble at the tender leaves
when his father was alive
Who would give his daughter
to a man like him?
Those greedy for money
3000 to the girl's parents...
...their barber told me...
Like this, one can marry off
even animals
What else?
Brother-in-law! Why have you
come alone this day?
Why haven't you brought your
sisters this day?
Eat this
You won't get this everyday
Brother-in law! You have small
eyes, with sticking flies
Ward off the evil eye
Give it to me.
Have you brought him from the
jungle, that buddy of yours?
He is our bosom friend
What are you saying?
He is a show piece of a bull
His horns well oiled
Don't think him that modest
He'll kick your behind so hard
you won't stop rubbing it
Are you all wild bulls...
...or are there
any tamed ones?
| am the tamed one
Can take on four like you
Now speak.
First deal with one
Don't worry!
We'll tame this shrew
Really? - Do you want proof?
This buddy will take her along
even without ceremony...
What are you waiting for?
Hey; you spider!
First teach him how to speak...
...when hungry, he would mumble,
Mum..mmum, give me milk
Come on! Drink it
- Drink.
No. - Drink.
No, thanks buddy!
What happens to you?
Yesterday at the marriage...
...you were shrinking away from
the girls!
What happens to you?
Cheela! Don't remind me of that!
What happened?
You don't know
how she stared at him!
Who?
The one with the big eyes
Which one? Tell me.
The one with the green scarf
Wow.
If she was after me,
| would squeeze her like this.
- Oh my God.
He is not doing anything.
Always talking of girls,
you have no sense
You tell us, what is sense?
It does not grow on trees.
Sense is the way you take it
Ant it..
And you have wasted all the
wisdom we gave you
Let it be, brother.
Whatever we have drunk,
that intoxication will also wear off.
That's it
Won't you get up?
It is noon already
It's high time you go
for work
Let me sleep a little longer
Get up and go for work
I have to go to the well
for prayers
You have rubbed your heels for years,
did your deity appear?
Tell him to bless you
with a girl if not a boy
You'll get it from me now
Come buddy, Jagsir
She is in a bad mood!
Unless she abuses me
her day does not start
But you have a good time.
She cooks and you eat
What else do you want?
Go on, make fun of me
I've managed with her somehow
Someone like you would
leave her in four days.
Manage..
- Are you still rotting here?
I am going.
Do not insult me in the
presence of a friend...
...| am your husband!
You are husband
of your mother also
If you don't return in time,
you'll get it
I'm going!
Going.. Your buddy has come.
Take some opium and
enjoy yourself..
...lying down somewhere
Everyday the same tension
Jagsir!
- Yes!
Let us first be on our feet
| too am unwell
You'll be well pretty soon
Jagsir! - Yes!
Listen to my advice
Don't get married
| have been praying
for the last ten years...
...you have not blessed me
| bore people's taunts...
...but continued praying
If you don't bless me
| won't come to you again
Give me the corn seeds.
Aunt, my mother has
given me less corn seeds.
You manage with this.
| will add some more for you.
But for that you will
have to be my son. Will you?
Look! He goes there.
- Stop! Jagsir
Let's catch him. There he goes.
Come, come.
Hold the sweets. Don't drop them.
Jagsir! Wait Jagsir!
Jagsir! - What is the matter?
Where were you?
- We went to your house.
Where were you?
| am going to the field.
- Go for work later
Come with us
Where to?
- First tell him where we have to go.
Come along We'll not hang you.
- No.
| have to go to the fields.
- You come with us.
Listen. There he is going.
Working the whole day!
Is that right?
Where are you dragging
him to?
Nikka.
Yes.
We have to cheer him up.
- I see.
Good we met you, you come along too.
No, no. I have work to do.
- Hold him.
Take him along.
- Come.
Go along.
- Leave my hand.
Walk ahead.
Walk ahead.
Why are you struggling?
Mother.
Why have you brought my kitten?
Your kitten has totally changed
after marriage
He thinks he has wedded
a beauty from London
What happened?
- What beauty hey!
After a few days, she'll be
working in your house anyway
Move ahead.
Make sure that you have not
come empty-handed
She is our daughter-in-law.
Instead of sweets we have
brought her smart husband
Amazing.
She seems smarter than Nikka
Tell her, or we will
Confront her directly
Aunt! Am I not the youngest?
Now you are all
younger than he
Get aside.
First it is the turn of
the youngest one
Take your present and
show us your face
You persuade her,
or we'll have our own way
Lift your veil. The adamant
curs are on a spree
So many times we have saved
you from Santo's beating
Now you're pretending
to be innocent
Don't talk nonsense
Shut up.
Want to see sister-in-law's
face? - Yes.
Shall I show you?
- Show.
It was a flashing glimpse
She has not returned
the worth of the sweetmeat
Come on.
How are you, buddy?
All right! How are you?
Great.
Share the grub.
- You go ahead.
| am going round the fields.
- Fine.
Come on. Step in.
Why are you peeping like thieves?
| came to see N.|kka
He just went out
Didn't you come across him?
L...no...l
Why are you confused?
Do you want to pass a message?
Yes, I..
L...I'll meet him
I'll meet Nikka.
Crazy fellow.
Love is crazy.
Love is crazy.
One should not get addicted.
One should not get addicted.
Love is crazy.
Love is crazy.
How are you?
Am fine.
The one who goes after the heart.
The one who goes after the heart.
How will he explain to the heart?
Love has made twists.
Love has made twists.
Heart is getting
stuck in the twists.
Heart is getting
stuck in the twists.
Love is crazy.
Love is crazy.
Without seeing her face..
...I don't feel like
passing from there.
Red fairy is gone into me.
My heart cries for her.
Why are you ruining
your health?
Speak your mind
| am your friend.
- There is nothing to say
Have I ever hidden
anything from you?
Swear by God and tell me
have I hidden anything from you?
No.
There is nothing..
- Why are you making a fool of me?
You are ruining yourself
since you fall for her
Who has fallen for her?
You have been speaking around
her house, since she left
To fall in love is not a sin
Everyone knows that
Nikka can't do anything.
This is a job of a man.
| am happy you have some pep
and courage
Why are you beating about the bush!
Just beat around the bush!
Hello, aunt.
Uncle! How are you?
| am ready to depart
We will not let you go.
Jagsir is just bringing the doctor.
If doctors could save us
then no one would die.
| had called you so that...
Yes, tell me. What is the matter?
Don't keep any secret.
How are you?
Bear with it
Why feel the pulse?
The journey is over
Nothing is wrong with you.
Take this medicine.
Give it with warm water
Dharm Singh!
| have given the medicine.
But trust in God
Whatever God wishes will happen.
Fulfil his wish
Have some offerings
made to the poor
Now he..
Well uncle, what is the matter?
Dharm Singh!
| had called you so that...
Speak out. I am just like your son
Praise be yours!
Praise be yours!
Can anyone else behave with
me the way you have?
| have to hand over
his responsibility to you
Why are you talking like that?
You have a lot to do yet.
Treat him like your brother..
...the way your father treated me
Keep your hand on his head.
Take care of him from now on
See him married and
settled in life
QK.
As you wish
May God bless you.
One thing for you, Jagsir...
Look after the sheesham tree...
...and make my marhi under the tree
O.K! I'll make a move
You keep in touch
Aunt! Don't worry
It shall be all right
God almighty!
Give me strength
to carry out your will.
And bless me so that
I can fulfill my oath.
Brother! - Jagsir?
Brother! Father..
Jagsir!
Father has left us
Brace yourself.
Who can avoid this?
Oh God!
Leaving us behind...
...which distant land
have you departed to?
| told you so many times.
Insisted you to do something...
...to have a grandson
to touch your bier
Now we'll not get salvation
If you had spent some money,
we wouldn't see this day
You have gone away easily,
now what will I do?
Oh God..
Punjabo told me...
What Punjabo has said
| know...
...but do you know how much
land my father had...
...when he took uncle
Thole to work...
...and how much it is now?
Land must have multiplied
belonging to many people...
...but did anyone make a marhi
of a share-cropper?
What right do you have over
the land?
These four bighas of land
my father had given them...
Sheesham tree was planted by
uncle Thola...
...and he has nursed it like his
own child
Does this transfer the land to
their name?
When it is given to them,
why transfer?
How can they become owners
without that?
Who can become the owner of
the earth?
Earth is the master of all
Has anyone brought it at birth
...or taken along at death?
You just keep giving lectures.
You'll become a recluse,
leaving us in the lurch
Come, have your food
What is the matter Dharm Singh?
You are so worried.
A wind of change is setting in.
It may uproot everything
Sometimes, along with the
trees the roots are also uprooted.
May I say something?
You've not done well in making
Thola's marhi in your fields
What's wrong with that, Jeona?
The land belongs to Thola,
and the tree is also his
| am only doing my duty
Sometimes it is better
to watch your interest
Look at the way
the world is moving
| cannot do that
| am telling you as a friend...
...that it may not disintegrate
your own house
Dharm Singh had given
4 acres of land to Jagsir.
He made a marhi on it too..
But making a marhi
now is inauspicious.
You know a marhi is made..
...in the remembrance of a person.
Wonder what the matter is.
He knows Jagsir will not get married.
He has made a lot of efforts.
But what Jagsir must be going through.
He is doomed.
You have taken your share, why
are you cutting more fodder?
It is only a handful
| spend for the seeds and
the manure, and you take all
Leave it here,
otherwise it won't be good.
What is the matter?
These share-croppers are
crossing the limit
Things are changing.
Share- croppers are becoming obsolete
It is due to rising prices
You are right, Bhanta
Wonder where this
inflation will take us.
Bless you.
You let him take the bullocks
after I had refused
You know very well
that this is our tradition
Won't you change this
thirty year old tradition?
I cannot do this
I have to honour my word
Who stops you from doing that!
They work and eat...
...they think they are the
owners of the land
You know well these 4 bighas
your grandfather gave them
I thought it would end after
his death...
...you have made his marhi in
the fields
Look the way the world
is changing
People have started working
on contract and daily wages
I'll do it
Watch the times.
You are not watching the times.
People with less land
are buying tractors...
...we are goading bullocks
Have you ever thought of
their feelings?
Nandi would die of shock
We'll not hang them
They work and get their wages
Don't be rash!
Don't forget
the word of honour I gave
That's why I have waited so
long
Have patience!
I'll do what you want
He will not listen.
That old woman has charmed him.
| am patient since
he is my father,
...after all,
I've waited so long
Let us see
for some more time
Darling daughter, what type
of husband would you like?
My dear daughter.
Well, darling daughter
| have found a smart guy.
| have found a smart guy.
Dear father,
| want a smart guy.
Well, darling daughter
| have found a smart guy.
| have a prince
For my darling daughter.
Bhani darling...
It is by God's grace
that we are married
Where is mother?
How would I know?
Do you both ever tell me where you go!
| know that you are
annoyed with me...
...because I don't tell you
where I go
Don't worry about me.
| know you love me very much
My love! I can't eat
without seeing you
Ah my darling! What can I do!
The whole village waits for me
Yes! Because you scrub
their utensils well
Don't get impatient
I'll return soon
Sister-in-law! Give me my doll
I'll give it to you.
First tell me...
- What?
...who came that day?
Those to whom I showed your face?
One was Geba, and the other...
Who stayed behind, the tall one?
That one! His name is Jagsir
He is very nice. He gave me sweets
He was asking about you.
Sister-in-law! Give me my doll
Take the doll.
Seebo!
What is this?
- A doll!
It is a beautiful doll.
Who gave it to you?
Sister-in-law gave it to me.
Is that so.
Is Nikka at home?
Nikka? No. He and mother
have gone to attend a marriage
Okay. You go and play with the doll.
Nikka!
Nikka!
Nikka.
Are you at home?
Nikka.
Nikka.
Who is there?
Jagsir.
| wanted to meet Nikka.
Was there any work?
No! Yes! Some work...
Can't you tell me...
Come on! Sit for a while
I will get water for you.
I--
You fool!
God has given you good looks,
...hasn't he
given you courage?
Let us exchange a glance,
at least
O.K!'l go
Let your husband come!
You'll get it from him
This bitch has slurred my name
Who is he of yours?
Why don't you speak? - Oh God!
That is why you ignored me
Now you are happy?
Tell me.
Oh God! - They have sent
this bitch to our house.
She is flirting with that guy.
Call him now.
You shameless bitch!
| won't spare you.
| will change my name
if I don't teach you a lesson
You call me pygmy!
You call me pygmy! You call me pygmy!
A handful of money
was not given for this
How dare he come to my house.
What is the matter Jagsir?
What is the matter?
I'll crush that bastard
You look very angry today.
| have overheard everything
What?
- I will break his hands.
Where are you going, Jagsir?
Get lost.
Hey Nikka!
Come out
Come out Nikka
Rascal.
What is the matter?
- I'll tell you what the matter is
Do you want to give your sister
to me?
Come out of your mother's lap!
We'll see who takes whom!
Go back! Go back!
Come out! I'll take your sister!
I'll take your mother,
you bastard!
Wait don't go.
How dare he, this dog!
He comes to my house!
| say, leave me.
Stop. - You rascal.
You beat a woman.
Go away.
This is all because of you!
You have got me insulted.
You will be cursed.
He is hiding inside
just like a girl.
What does he think? Hitting a woman.
Come on.
Let it be. Come on.
We will talk to him later.
Aunt! This is bad indeed
let us not, prolong the matter
And Nikka, you also listen
Hush up the matter
It would be nice
if you could advice Jagsir
For that we'll talk
to Dharm Singh
He will handle.
- Explain to him.
If he were alive,
he would die of shock
Or he would have
drowned himself
Stop this, mother
You won't get any blame
for the rest of your life
My stigma has not been
removed as yet...
...and you have brought
on another
The major hindrance
is Nandi's parents
They ask about the parents
and immediately say...
...the same Nandi who eloped
with Thola
Come to the point now.
What is the response
from your relative?
Had proposed to my
sister-in-law's daughter. But...
Come on! Be frank
They want that the four bighas
of land...
...being cultivated by Jagsir be
transferred to his name
Will this wash off
Nandi's stigma?
My father tried his best to
transfer it to Thola's name...
...the rule of the land did not
permit it
My present position you know
Think over it
The choice is yours
Money, land, property...
...Is this the end of everything?
Shall man ever be
considered as man?
There shall be no caste,
no creed
Is that why
people call you God?
You have got me humiliated
Rascal!
What had I done to you
What is the matter?
Santo has eloped with someone
She was always too lively
Please! Go away!
Why are you tormenting me!
Don't make fun of him
Go your way
Let's go.
The times are very bad.
Why should she have eloped
like that?
| pity Ronki
He danced attendance on her
But he failed.
Her only problem was that she
could not have an issue
She prayed, but it was all in vain
A woman's worth is accepted
with a child only
Harder.
Come on harder.
Brother..
These grains are not to be
taken to the market
Bhanta told us to load them
What is the matter?
You know that grains of our
fields are never sold
You load it. It is not his
father's property
Don't abuse Bhante
- I'll do what I wish
That'll not be good
- What will you do?
Move back.
Let Dharm Singh come
I'll abide by his word
Now my word shall prevail. Keep it.
I'll not let the
grains go to the market
Will you move back or no?
Useless fellow.
Watch your mouth.
Watch my mouth with you..
Should I wear garlands for you?
Move aside. I say move aside.
| say..
All of them have been pampered.
Move aside.
- I will raise my hand on you.
You dare to..
Move aside. Load it.
| had said and gone that
first give Jagsir his share.
First we give them their plough.
First give them water.
All these things have pampered them.
Otherwise how dare a servant
speak in front of his boss.
The land which you think
you are the owner of..
...they consider it as their mother.
Thola uncle used to consider
the seeds as his children.
That's why I say, have patience.
We have had a lot of patience, father.
Then beat them and throw
them out of the house.
If this continues, then |
will have to think about this matter.
Now you have had your way for long.
Since we have been working with them..
...or we keep grains to eat at home,
it's a problem.
Get up.
Have tea and have your medicine too.
Nandram had given the
medicine in the morning.
Take this.
Take.
My knees are giving trouble.
You take care of your health.
Jagsir.
Brother, you here at this time?
Thought I will meet you and go.
Take this. Keep it.
What is this? - The money
of your share of the grains.
Keep it.
No brother.
There is no need for this.
Whatever has happened let it pass.
Keep this quietly in your pocket.
I will do whatever I can.
Later there will be no problem.
Jagsir, take care of your health.
This liquor will kill you.
| have spoken at some place.
Hopefully it will succeed.
About what?
Crazy! Can you lead
your life like this.
Don't lose hope.
Jagsir!
Bhani!
Bhani! You have come
| was confident that you would come
| longed to hear your footsteps
Where were you?
Why did you take so long?
Every moment my heart
throbbed for you...
...but I was afraid
of what people would think
Those who love, never fear anyone
If you are not afraid
why should I fear anyone!
Bhani!
You taught me to live
You enkindled the flame of love in me.
Now I can openly
express my love for you
Yes. I love Bhani.
| wish to see my beloved.
One goes crazy.
A partition is created in hearts.
A partition is created in hearts.
| am so lonely.
Love is crazy.
Love is crazy.
Love does not look behind.
It just moves ahead.
| may be unhappy.
| may be unhappy.
My beloved should not be hurt.
Love is crazy.
Love is crazy.
Do you live in the village?
Where shall I go!
| have come after 2 years..
...and it is fifteen
days since I have come.
Didn't you feel like meeting me!
Why do you blame me, Bhani!
Many a time I thought
of meeting you, but...
You didn't have the courage..
...but I've come to share your woes
My brothers were not allowing
me to come to this hell
| have come with my hopes on you.
I'll go back if you wish
How can you do that!
What have you done to yourself!
Without you everything, Bhani.
Without you everything changed
Everything has become
lifeless within me
| can breathe life
into you if you desire
Have the guts.
Why live in sin!
Why get blemished!
These acts are never forgiven
Already past sins are
weighing heavily on us
Why add more to it!
If meeting of two hearts is a curse..
...what is a blessing then!
Who can alter..
...the writing of fate!
Is it only for us that
fate has written all that is ill!
Is ill luck only for us?
Of the rich,
even the Goddess of fate is afraid
They grease her palms
What have we to give!
This tin of opium
Take.
| somehow passed ten
or twelve years with Santo...
...that rascal has
discarded you for ever
Who to complain to!
We have no one in both the worlds
Those on this earth
are for the rich...
...and the one above
is also not with us.
Stop it!
Let it be.
We can't cope with it
be losing heart like this
This is the writing of fate.
Who can escape the cycle of Karma
You have given all the
pleasures to the rich...
...incestuous Bastard!
Divide equally the pain, at least
Bhanta's marriage was to take place.
It's about that?
His marriage was over yesterday
Then it may be about
Bachittar's son's marriage
Has he a son of marriageable age?
Yes! The one with slimy eyes
Rascal! Keeps a
stammering the whole day
He is getting married.
Marriages are not made between persons
Marriages are made between lands,
riches and houses
You are absolutely right.
This voice seems
like that of our Bhani
Forget it pal!
Scrubbing your utensil, hey!
No problem.
These thoughts prevail in big houses
Why did he get five hundred?
| suspect he gave it to Jagsir
That way he'll reduce us to ashes
At every step, money is needed
To book a tractor we need money
They hand over the
bill for a sack of manure
To install a pump we need money
Barter of grains doesn't get anything
What are you doing?
Mind your words please!
Why did you get five
hundred from the dealer?
Who told you?
| have seen the account book myself
Now you both have stooped to that
Was this property made
by you or your mother?
My right on this inherited
property is equal to yours
If you persist in your ways,
you divide the land...
...and you can throw
your share to the dogs
You have lived your life.
| have just begun
How can I give up those...
...who have toiled for
us throughout their lives?
I never thought Bhanta
will come to that
| feel like separating him...
...but who'll face
the gossip of the people
By dividing the land you
cannot stop the changing times
You should flow along
with the current of time
| told you this when
you had made the Marhi
Then noble deeds have no place in life
Money! Land!
Property! These are the end of life
Well! That is the writing of fate...
...God's decree
Call it what you may,
it is the trend of the times
No one can stop it
Go with the time..
or else its in front of you.
You asked as a friend so I told you.
Now do what you wish.
You are sensible.
| understand
How can I undo the noble
deeds done during my life time?
Oh gosh!
Jagsir.
My son, take this!
Bring eight annas
worth of rice and jaggery
Take this
| am left with only one rupee
With that,
buy me a shroud when I am dead
I'll not put a cheap shroud on you...
...but a silken shawl
worth fifty rupees
A shawl of silk or flannel!
That won't obtain salvation for me
You are always evasive. Ask me.
But I'll become a ghost after death...
...there is no grandson
to touch my bier
Grandsons don't bring salvation.
It is brought by money
The job should be done
before Jagsir reaches the fields
Don't worry!
It will be over before dawn
My men are very skilled
at wielding weapons
The root is very deep.
Seems it was planted with great care.
- Do it fast.
Who is it?
Stop! You rascal!
Don't beat me!
I did not do anything.
Don't beat me.
Don't beat me.
Have you cut this tree?
We were told to do it.
We have not done it
according to our wish.
Shah told you.
- We don't know whose it is.
Rascal.
Have you seen it!
You toiled for them your whole life
| also worked for them
Hey, Dharm Singh! What have you done?
You should have thought,
before doing this
I'll burn myself at your threshold!
Oh Dharm!
What did you do?
Aunt! What is the matter?
Don't curse here in the lanes.
Come inside
Come, come inside.
Come inside.
Dharm..
Come, sit here.
Now tell me.
You should have kept your word
Why did you rake up his ashes!
You are just like my son
You felled his tree.
He had nursed it like his children
What did you do?
You dog! Our tree,
was it born with your husband?
As if you are the owner.
We have cut the tree.
Let me see what you will do.
No one has cut your tree
I'll see.
Everything shall be all right
Why did you do it? What did you get!
| told you, no one has cut your tree
Get up. Come.
Come. Go home.
Come. - What have you done, Dharm?
Come, I will drop you home.
Come.
Don't worry.
Being hard of hearing
| can't even understand clearly
Aunt, don't worry. - Jagsir
told me that the tree was felled
You..
How is Aunt now?
She is so shocked...
...that she has not
eaten since four days
Nand Lal said that
her days are numbered
If our own offspring
is so heartless...
...then why live at all!
Why care for a world like this!
Jagsir!
You toiled your whole
life for these demons
You have left me in the lurch
They have raked up your ashes
You great one!
If you were wise,
you would have done something for us
Oh gosh!
| am lost from both the worlds.
Oh God!
You'll ever be cursed, Dharm Singh!
What did you get
by breaking his marhi?
Mother!
Get up, go lie down inside!
Don't lose heart! Get up!
Mother..
Greetings, brother!
Sit here.
Jagsir!
| treated her like my own mother
Take this for the obituary ceremony
No brother!
Keep it. It will be of use to you.
The basis of all relations is love
My own people have become strangers
You are distressed that
you have no one in this world
You have no descendents
In spite of all I have,
| feel deprived of everything
No, brother. Don't say that.
For God's sake, don't say such things.
Did you get any clue?
| went to aunt at Bhatinda,
and visited Bhoonder
Didn't get any clue
Didn't you ask the dealer?
Yes.
He has not gone there
after the felling of the tree
Forget it! We can do without him
You handled the work well earlier
Work I'll handle,
but what about the people!
They'll say,
| have turned my father out
You take charge of the work,
I'll handle the people
No clue has been found of Dharm Singh
Don't lose heart like this!
| am there buddy!
| am there.
Ronki..
Enough.
Ronki! I am not worried about myself
| am worried about brother Dharm Singh
Where shall he jostle
around at this age!
Enough.
O God! You are so unjust
Enough.
He gave us sorrows.
He did not spare people
like Dharm Singh too.
How are you, dear ones!
No one has given you enough fodder
You don't speak.
How have you become so weak?
Listen..
You are no more required
People are fond of work alone
They don't care for you.
Love and affection..
...Dharm Singh has taken along with him
You did what you wanted to.
Do you want to take them away too!
You have come to show your love!
He has not returned
home for four months...
...and now you've come
to rejoice over our sufferings
Get lost from here.
Otherwise I won't spare you.
What happened?
Come, come.
This pain is killing.
If you don't want to eat then what?
The body needs food.
You cannot leave it.
Now what will I do by living?
Now what will I do?
| don't have anyone besides you.
Ro.. Ronki!
Did you meet Bhani?
Yes! I met her. At a wedding.
Good for her.
Now I won't go to meet her.
Give her my message
Tell her...
...to mop my marhi
You'll make it, I am sure
Stop this hey! Stop this!
Lie down.
Don't die.
Don't die, my friend.
Oh man! You have ten spans of life...
You have lived only one.
Where have the other nine gone?
Wise men have divided
Man's life into ten parts
Each part consists of ten years.
Making in all hundred
After every decade Man's life changes
Oh man!
You have ten spans of life...
You have lived only on..
...where have the other nine gone?
Yes, Jagsir yes!
Brother..
They say there was life before...
...and there is a life after.
One has to account
for one's previous life.
I have not tingled God's tail
Rascal, wise men say this
They say..
After being reborn..
...eighty-four lakh times...
...the soul gets into a man's body
How is this accounted for?
Tell me?
Tell me..
Mother..
| ask..
...if after the cycle...
...of birth and rebirth
eighty-four Lakh times...
God..
| say..
...one doesn't want
to be born as man...
Do they force you...
...into a man's body?
There is no justice then
We would...
...like to be born as spiders, lizards
How does it bother them anyway!
Dogs!
Enough.
That bull with big horns...
...with a huge mace...
...trampling the fields... - Jagsir.
...the elephant...
Jagsir.
...dragging the tree...
You lie down.
You lie down.
I will bring Nandlal.
It is one month since
he stopped eating
He is completely broken from within
Intoxicants have added to the damage
I had examined him carefully
Now you have come. Take these packets
Jagsir.
Oh, Jagsir.
You can't go like this.
You can't do what you wish.
Don't I have any rights?
What have you done?
What have you done?
My friend!
Jagsir, my friend.
You have left this world...
...and we are completely ruined
Wise men have said,
the house of love.
Is never lonely.
Flowers are put there.
Flowers are put there.
Lamps of memories flourish there.
Lamps of memories flourish there.
