Stories by Rabindranath Tagore (2015): Season 1, Episode 24 - Dhaai Aakhar Prem Ka - full transcript

Various aspects of love and marital life are highlighted in this hilarious tale of three interwoven love stories.

Kamal, have you eaten?

I met Gaudai, on the
way back home.

He was very hungry,
so, I ate with him.

You were going to
take me out, today.

I just forgot about it.

No problem. Today, you
cook something for yourself.

We will go tomorrow.

Okay.

Why did you switch it off?

I want to sleep.

Why are you spoiling my sleep?



I cannot sleep and snore,
till 9 in the morning, like you.

Will you keep quiet
for some time?

Only a few pages of
the story are left.

Let me complete them
and then you can fight.

Go out and read, if
you are so fond of reading.

You go out, if you
are getting disturbed.

You read so many stories..

..but, you do not know what
is happening in the neighborhood.

Kamal has come back home.

She is crying bitterly
and is in a very bad shape.

She must have fought
with her husband.

Leave it.
Never mind!

You are responsible for this.

-Me?
-Yes.



You took that useless
Vinod, to their place.

Okay, I took him, but..

Look Kanta, one person
is not responsible for this.

-Kamal must also be..
-All men are the same.

All thieves are brothers.

You called me a thief?

Yes, I did!

What?

People like you,
should not get married.

What are you doing?

People like you, can only
make others dance.

One should do everything,
according to your wish.

And what will you do?
Host poetry recitals.

Now, keep having recitals
with your crazy friends.

Let me see.

If you want me to stop, then..

No, no, I am saying that,
it is too late at night.

You can go tomorrow morning.

What are you doing?

It is not for you, it's for me.

Today, I will drink
tea with 8 spoons of sugar.

Today, I feel as if I'm in
college, after so many days.

My house, my rules and my life.

As soon as the wives come,
they rule the entire house.

See?

Your sister-in-law
has gone from here..

..and there is so much
peace, in the house.

So much fun.

It is good.

Otherwise, I had to
fight for sugar, every day.

She had snatched away
all the sweetness of my life.

How much sugar will you have?

As much..

..as you had.

The main culprit must be
enjoying tea somewhere.

And we are thinking
we are the culprits.

Great!

Indu, it's not like that.

Why? Why isn't it like
that?

Mr. Vinod Bihari thinks
he is a great poet.

A person, who talks about the stars,
the moon and undying love..

..couldn't understand
the feelings of a woman?

Sister, a person who
can have problems with you..

..can never live
with anyone else.

Indu, he is not bad.

I think, I must have made a mistake
in understanding him.

Sister, you are very innocent.

You don't know.

I think, it is something else.

What do you mean?

I mean, does brother-in-law
loves someone else?

It happens with poets.
You may not be aware of it.

Wait. There is a way out.

Dear, Mr. Vinod.

I am a great fan
of you and your poems.

Your poems have not
only touched me..

..but, my past too.

To such an extent, that..

To such an extent, that..

To such an extent that,
without it..

My life is incomplete.

You may call it
my daring or blind love.

But, I have surrendered
myself at your feet.

I want to meet you once, alone.

Always waiting to see you..
Your..

Sister, tell me a name.

I don't know, Indu.
You do whatever you want to do.

Madhubilata?

No.

Kusum?

No.

Kadambini.

Gaudai, what is the meaning
of such a life?

There is no meaning.

Who lives like this?

No one lives like this.

What mistake did I commit?

No mistake.

Now, what should I do?

Come, I shall take
you out somewhere, tomorrow.

Where?

At least tell me now,
what are we doing here?

Say something.

We have come here
to meet someone.

Whom?

You can see for yourself.

I am really missing Kamal.

-Rajni, go on.
-No, no.

I am standing here.
Why are you getting scared?

No. Why me? My brother
is into theatre! Call him.

Will your brother
dress up as a girl?

Sister, I am doing all this
only for you.

Let it be Indu. This is wrong.
We will go.

Sister, sister.

Today, I will definitely know
the truth about brother-in-law.

-Are you going or shall I push you?
-No, no!

-Hey, go.
-Okay, wait.

We will do it, tomorrow.

The girl who is standing
there, sent this letter for you.

She is a great fan
of your poems.

She wants to meet
you. So, go and meet her.

Go.

Gaudai, what are you doing?

What do you mean by,
what am I doing?

Her name is Kadambini, too..

..so, I thought, she is
my Kadambini.

But, she is not the one.

Gaudai, I am married.

So, what? It is just for fun.

Go and meet her.
She has come from far.

What if, she was
your Kadambini?

Then, I would have told her
that my nickname is Vinod Bihari.

You would have never
got this letter.

Come on, let's go from here.
We don't want to do all this.

Come on.

-Where do we go?
-Let's go, Gaudai.

-What are you doing, Gaudai?
-Come on!

Take the letter.

No, Gaudai.

Go, go.

Greetings.

Greetings.

Did you write
this letter for me?

Yes.

I am happy that my
poems touched you.

And I respect your feelings.

But, I am..

..a married man.

And, I love my wife a lot.

Forgive me, I cannot..

Sister.

See, what brother-in-law is
saying!

He is saying that,
he loves you a lot.

-What?
-Come on, talk to him.

-What do you mean?
-Let's go.

Where are you going?

Fine.

You are perfectly fine.

Mr. Chaudhary, how can I
praise my own son?

He looks like Lord Kartik and his
qualities are like Lord Ganesha.

By the grace of God, we
have been blessed with a gem.

The moment he told me that,
he loves your daughter Kadambini..

..I could not refuse him.

Otherwise, I am always
strict with him.

I am very strict.

But, they have
to spend their lives, together.

We don't have to live together.

So, that's my mentality..

..and that is why,
I came running to you.

All that is fine, Mr. Shibu.

But, are you sure, that your
son recognizes my daughter?

What are you saying, Indu?

Lalit thinks, that
your name is Kadambini?

Yes.

Why did you lie to him?

Sister, I told him whatever
I thought of, at that time.

Now you tell me,
what I should do.

What do you do, Indu?

One day, you will get trapped.

You get trapped and
trap me, too.

And because of you,
I doubted my husband!

Now, what will I go
and tell him?

Sister, you tell me,
what I should do.

What should I do?
What should I do?

-Tell me one thing, Indu?
-Yes.

Do you know, whether
he loves you or not?

Sister..

..will you do me a favor?

Hey.

Your sister-in-law is
not there, so, I am cooking.

Tell me.
Why have you come here?

Is your friend at home?

Who? Vinod.

Yes.

No.

-Okay, brother.
-Okay.

-Brother.
-Yes.

One more thing.

Is there someone by the name of
Lalit Chatterjee, in your group?

Yes, Lalit is in our group.

The Englishman?

Yes.

Lalit..

..do you know, what
is love called in Urdu?

Love.

Anyway, forget it.
What are your future plans?

Chandra, I am sure, you did
not call me, for this.

No! This is
the age to fall in love.

If not now, then, when
will you fall in love?

I know everything.

There is nothing wrong with
what is going on..

..between you and Kadambini.

I am older than you and it is my
responsibility to be honest.

The one whom you love
is not Kadambini, she's Indumati.

Listen Lalit, don't worry,
if you are scared of anything.

I am here for you.
I'll speak for you.

Lalit, when do you
plan to get married?

Who is Kadambini?

Enough, Indu. Enough.

Enough, Indu.

He ridiculed my love.

All men are the same.

Father, I don't want
to get married.

Listen to me.
Okay, look at me. Listen to me.

Look, if Mr. Lalit did this, it does
not mean, all men are alike.

He says at first
sight, I am your servant.

Now, he doesn't recognize me.
He says, he does not know me.

Calm down.
That is enough.

Look, father
is getting disturbed.

-No.
-Enough, Indu.

Calm down.

I will not spare him,
so easily.

-No!
-Indu, listen to me.

-Father, I..
-Go and explain to her.

I will go and convince her.

Indu.

What happened, Chandra?

I hope you are well, brother.

I am missing the savories
your sister-in-law made.

Pritam, get savories
for brother. Quickly.

Not only savories. I want her.

Brother, then go and get her.

Stop being angry.

She will not come back,
this time.

I am trapped, Gaudai.

It's not like that, brother.

-Go and talk to her.
-No.

Mr. Lalit.

Lalit?

Tell me.

If he is Mr. Lalit,
then, who are you?

You have forgotten me.

We met here and you
asked me to get the palanquin.

I wrote a letter
for you, in the red diary.

I saw you in the afternoon.

I became your servant..

Sister said,
that you are Mr. Lalit.

What is in a name? If you like,
you can call me, Lalit.

I don't mind.

My parents named me,
Gaudai, out of love.

What kind of a name is that?

No, no!
It is a nice name.

Gaudai.

I am just thinking, how could I
misunderstand it all?

No problem, Kadambini.
The name does not matter.

Indumati.

Sorry, who is she?

I am Indumati.

What?

I lied to you.

Why would you play
such a prank?

Why? You just said
that, a name does not matter.

Because of your nonsense,
I have been to..

..to Mr. Chaudhary's house,
in Garden Market 500 times!

Father will kill me.

-Chandra, is Gaudai here?
-Yes.

Yes, he is.

Call him.

Gaudai.

Mr. Chaudhary is sitting
at home and he is sitting here.

Mr. Chaudhary?

I thought, he has come to talk,
but, he has come to give blessings.

Okay, but, who
is Mr. Chaudhary?

His future father-in-law.
Who else?

Why are you staring at me?

-Let's go home.
-Father.

I cannot go against you.

Okay, then, come on.

I will do as you want.

I will marry Mr. Bairang's
daughter, Indumati.

No son, you will get married
to the girl of your choice.

Son, I have accepted Kadambini,
as my daughter-in-law.

Come, let's go home.

Father, I want to
say something to you.

Now, what? Tell me.

Father, I love Indumati..

..and will marry her.

-Chandra.
-Yes.

Just tell him, that if he does
not reach home in 10 minutes..

..then from today, he is not
my son, nor am I his father.

-Just tell him.
-Father, listen to me.

Loser, fool, rascal!

Sometimes, it's Kadambini,
sometimes, it's Indumati.

Sometimes, Kadambini,
sometimes, Indumati.

Do you think, I am a fool?

-What are you doing?
-Get aside.

Don't beat him. Calm down.

Hey, get back. I will send him.
You leave.

-Okay, send him.
-Yes.

What confusion
have you created?

I am sorry.

I'm late.

What is this? You have not
eaten anything.

Mr. Chaudhary,
please have some.

What are you saying?

I am sitting at home,
since half an hour!

The boy didn't come,
nor did his father come.

Chandra,
only you can do something.

There is one solution.

-You help us to run away.
-Get lost!

Is running the solution?

Then, what is the difference
between you and my wife?

Mine, too.

Just let me think.

There is one solution.

Indu, you wait outside
for some time.

Nothing will happen.

I did not meet Kamal before
the marriage, either!

But, we love each other
so much, now!

Really?

I know, that she is a
little annoyed with me.

But some day,
she will come back.

Because, she loves me.

And I know that after marriage,
even you will love Kadambini.

I don't know, how she will be.

Will she understand me or not?

Chandra, what if I go home and
what if, my father gets me..

..forcefully married
to Kadambini?

It is just a marriage.

-It is just about exchanging seven vows.
-It is not a joke.

This is about my marriage!

I haven't not met her, nor
do I know her!

-Chandra, he..
-We will get it done.

Maybe you don't know,
but, I can hear everything.

Where is Gaudai?

Gaudai. He is coming.
He must be on his way.

What is the matter, doctor?

Today, your attitude
doesn't seem right.

Can I tell you
one thing, doctor?

Today, I am not going
to move from here..

..without making someone
my son-in-law.

Understood?

You understand.

-I will be back in a minute.
-Yes.

Okay.

Go on.

Father, I will do as
you will say.

I will serve you all my life.

I will serve you, father.

You will do that anyway,
useless boy!

Father, just stop this ritual.

I won't do that!

Here, I am about to die.

A man is sitting downstairs.

He is not ready to go.

And you don't want the ritual!

Shame on you!

What is all this?

You want me to stop this.

You stop it.

Why should I do it?

-Father, listen to me.
-Come on.

-Father, listen to me.
-Doctor..

No one will come down.

-Listen!
-I will slap each one of you.

Listen to me.

Why should I listen to you?
He will listen to you.

-Father, listen to me.
-Listen!

Father, listen to me.
I will not be happy, father.

Father, listen to me.

You want to get married
and I will get beaten up!

-Say, whatever you want to say.
-Dad!

Mr. Chaudhary,
he is your culprit.

You can ask him,
whatever you want to.

Gaudai, what is your problem?

What do you want?

Money?

A car?

A house?

Then, why don't you want
to marry my daughter Kadambini?

How are you?

I will tell you.

Gaudai is already married.

What are you saying, Chandra?

With God as their witness, Gaudai
and Indu had a Gandharava marriage.

Nivaran, tell me truly, whether
you knew about it or not?

Yes. I forgot to tell you.

You know, that I have a problem
of not remembering things.

With old age, my memory
is getting worse.

Aren't you smiling too much?

That day, you were
saying something else.

Which day?

Enough of the drama.

If my daughter does
not get engaged..

..then, I shall file a case
against you.

I will call the police.

Gaudai, you know what
that will result in.

Calm down,
Mr. Chaudhary.

Calm down.

Look, you cannot force
anyone to get married.

You will surely find a
capable husband, for Kadambini.

Where will I find one?

I am telling you, that I will
find the right husband for her.

-Don't worry.
-Can I marry her?

Can I get married?

"Everything is fine."

"Even then there is a drawback."

"All the colors come together
to make white."

"A color stands alone,
in a rainbow."

"This colorful bonanza
reminds me of you, often."

"You are a pen and
I am a blank paper."

"I am a kite and
you are my thread."

"If they get entangled,
you forget it."

"What is holi
without colors?"

"Everything is fine."

"Even then there
is a drawback."

"All the colors come together
to make white."

Where are you going?

Just going out for
a little while.

Why are you going alone?

Take me along with you.
