Stories by Rabindranath Tagore (2015): Season 1, Episode 16 - Waaris - full transcript

So.. on the Prince's
birthday, the king..

-Shall I show you something?
-Yes.

-Sure?
-Yes, sure.

What.. what are you doing?

I wore it for so long..

Dear, what have you done?

I tore your loin-cloth.

It was so old.

Now what are you going to wear?

I'm prescribing some medicines.

Get them from Kolkata
as soon as you can.



How much?

The doctor was saying it..

..may cost around 15-20 rupees.

Father..

Father, if I leave now then..

..I can return by tomorrow
afternoon with the medicines.

Can your doctor give me in writing..

..that these medicines
will cure your wife?

Is there any guarantee?

Is there?

If expensive medicines
could cure everyone..

..then the kings and emperors
would've never died.

Have you ever thought
how I run this family of four?

When you want to squander
your father's money..



..you can think of
10 different reasons.

Great, father.

Even now you're more
concerned about your money.

No need for this charade.

Just like your grandmother
and your mother..

..your wife has to die too.

Father, where are we going?

What are you doing?

I am leaving.

Why?

I won't let the same
thing happen with my son.

And anyway,
in the current circumstances..

..it's best if we leave.

You'll be happier living alone.

And it will be beneficial for Gokul..

..that he stays away.

He left.

Fine.

Can I say something, brother?

Vrindavan did the wrong thing.

Who leaves his father?

By the way,
you didn't stop him either.

Why should I?

Yes, you're right.

There's no point in
keeping a useless son.

He knows nothing about the world.

Yes, you're right.

All the boys these days are the same.

If your wife dies,
you can get another wife.

But you can't find another father.

He could've wandered around alone,
if he wanted.

But he shouldn't have
taken your grandson along.

What was his fault?

Why separate grandfather and grandson.

That's enough for today.

Son..

You shouldn't do that.

Look..

Look..
Eat this.

Eat this.

I don't want to eat it.

-Brother Kundu.
-Yes.

-Hello.
-Hello.

I went to the market,
and got this catfish for a steal.

So I bought it.
Keep it.

Okay.. but..

I was saying.. you're all alone now.

Even Vrindavan's not here.

So if you need anything, let me know.

-Don't hesitate.
-Fine.

-Keep this fish for now.
-No. No.

-It's fresh.
-No.

-Let me know.
-Of course I will.

Yes, yes.

Will you get angry
with your grandfather?

Come back soon.

I'll feed you myself.

We'll eat together.

Will you be angry with your grandpa?

Grandpa loves you.

Don't listen to your father.

Don't listen to your father.

Run. Run away.

Get lost!

Get lost!

Run.

Run.

Run.

Run away.

Get lost!

Get lost. I will hit you.

Run away.

Run away.

Run away.

Your loin-cloth's torn!

Your loin-cloth's torn!

You're not from this village.

What's your name?

Taipar.

Father's name?

Father's name?

Where's your home?

I don't have one.

-Why?
-I ran away.

My father keeps sending me to school.

I don't want to go to school.

I don't want to study.

Will you come with me?

Why is it so dark in here?

Do you live here alone?

Come.

Will you tell my father..
that I am here?

-I will run away.
-No, no.

Are you sure you won't tell him?

Don't worry.

I am tired, go away.

Yes.

Yes.

How about a story?

What are you doing?

-One story.
-Go away, let me sleep.

Go away.

-You rest.
-I will. You go.

Eat.

Who eats this kind of food?

You eat it.

Son.

What happened?

Do you want something else?

I'll get you anything you want.

Don't get angry.

I've added two spoons
of milk and four almonds.

Drink it.

Is it nice?

I was thinking?

Yes.

What were you thinking?

I should leave.

What? Leave?

Why son? Why leave?

You shouldn't be saying such things.

I don't like it here?

Why don't you like it here?
You've got everything here.

There's food, toys, everything.

But I don't like it here.

Son, don't talk about leaving. Look..

What do you like?
I've got lots of money.

I'll buy things for you.

I've got toys.
What do you want?

I'll get you anything you want.

But don't talk about leaving.

What do you want?

-Will you buy anything I want?
-Yes, I promise.

I'll get whatever you want.

Open it.

-Nice, isn't it?
-This is nothing.

All the money that I have,
the riches and property..

-..it's all yours.
-All of it?

Yes, all of it. Yes.

I'll give you everything.

You can look after my entire property.

How are you, son?

Is grandpa at home?

Grandpa. Das uncle's here.

Brother, I was saying..

..you've accepted this
boy as your grandson..

..and letting him live here.

But do you know where he's from?

Come here, son.

Yes, come here.

Tell me something,
isn't your father's name Damodar Pal.

Who said so?

Brother Kundu,
his father's come all the way..

..to Mahesh Ganga looking for him.

Soon he'll be here.

And he'll know you've
hidden him in your home.

You can be jailed, brother Kundu.

I am warning you, there's still time.

Take him back.

Otherwise it's not good for you.

Hey.. Stop!

-What are you doing?
-I'm going.

Where?

Anywhere.
If I stay here, father will find me.

He won't.

Everyone knows I am here.

If father finds me,
then he'll first thrash me..

..and then send me to school.

-I don't want to go to school.
-Quiet.

I'll hide you somewhere
no one can find you.

-Really?
-Yes.

When will you hide me?

When the right time comes,
I will hide you there.

Nitayi.

Nitayi.

Get up. Get up.

Come on.

Where?

Grandpa, will I be hiding in here?

-Grandpa, these coins..
-Are made of gold.

All these wealth.. money,
it's all mine.

It's more than ten
villages put together.

People are jealous of me.

They think I am selfish, greedy.

Even my family left me.

Let them.

For 30 years.. I denied
myself all comforts..

..and amassed this wealth.

Nitayi, now all this wealth is yours.

Sit.

Grandpa.. what are we doing here?

Let's go from here.
I don't like it here.

I can't just handover
this wealth to you.

There's a ritual to be followed.

We need to perform a ritual.

Join your hands.

You can have all this wealth.

But on one condition.

If any heir from my family..

..or my grandson comes
here looking for me..

..then you will handover
the wealth to him.

Okay?

Touch this pot and take an oath.

Repeat after me..

Everyone knows what kind
of a man is Yagyanath Kundu.

In order to live in peace,
we had to change our names.
