Stories by Rabindranath Tagore (2015): Season 1, Episode 3 - Chokher Bali - full transcript
'We have to stay away from each
other, Mr. Mahen.'
The few days that we spent
without caring about the world..'
'..the intimacy that
we experienced..'
'..we will have to
forget about that.'
'Don't expect me to
love you, all my life.'
'You don't need love.'
'You have received
love in abundance.'
'Everybody has loved you.'
'I loved you, too.'
'But, tomorrow after Asha returns,
things will change.'
'Don't worry about me.'
'I was playing a game, to gain
something in a fantasy..'
'..that, I couldn't
gain in reality.'
'You think,
that I am being cruel.'
'Perhaps, I am.'
'But, I am not so shameless, that
even after my friend returns..'
'..I will continue to play games
with her husband.'
'Don't reply to this letter.'
'Or I will have no option,
but, to leave the house.'
'Is that what you want?'
I found this letter
in your shirt.
If you had not taught
me to read and write..
..perhaps, I would have never
been able to read this letter.
Asha, I..
Asha.
-Binodini, listen to me.
-Go away from here.
Bali has returned. Why are you
still meeting me, openly?
Shame on you.
One feels ashamed,
when the truth is a secret.
And we have been exposed.
Asha read your letter.
Which letter?
The one that you gave me,
yesterday.
How will I face her?
No. No. Binodini!
Listen. Listen to me.
That's why I have decided,
we have no other option..
..apart from leaving all this
and go away.
-Should I elope with you?
-Yes.
What happened?
Binod, what do you want?
Binod, it's very difficult for me to
live with Asha in the same house.
Even if I become
shameless and do this..
..staying away from you,
despite being so close to you..
..it will drive me crazy.
Listen to me, Binod.
We have distanced
ourselves from the world.
Now, we only have each other.
That's why, I am telling you
to come with me.
That's not possible
in this life.
It's not possible?
Then, why did you make
the impossible, possible?
Why did you get
intimate with me?
Why did you write me letters?
Why did you stay that night..
Because, you stopped me
when I wanted to leave.
Why did you stop me?
Why did you say, "Can't you see
the love in my eyes, Binod?"
Why did you do that?
Now, is it entirely my fault?
No. It's not your fault.
It's the fault of the
feelings, without which..
..we couldn't have
come closer.
Now that we are so close,
it's difficult to stay away, Binod.
That's why I am saying,
pack your bags and come with me.
Are you out of your
mind, Mahen?
Do you know, what you
are telling me to do?
What am I telling
you to do? Listen to me.
We definitely can't fix
the mess.
At least, don't spoil what's good.
That's all I am saying.
Look, pack your bags and come.
What happened?
Mahen.
What are you doing
here, so late at night?
There was a letter in my shirt.
I came to take it.
Did you find it?
-Well..
-No.
The clothes have
been sent for washing.
If you find my letter,
give it to me.
Mr. Behari?
Yes. This is his house.
But, he is not at home.
-Okay. Where has he gone?
-He has gone to Kolkata.
He left today in the morning.
-Kolkata?
-Yes.
-When will he return?
-He won't return so soon.
He got a job over there.
I wanted to get
to a destination.
And that was you.
My final destination.
But, you were not there.
At that time, I wasn't
thinking straight.
I was running.
From myself.
From everybody.
From all the circumstances,
created by me.
I wanted to escape from
all that and go to a place..
..where I could find
peace of mind.
Where I could find you.
But, you were not there.
Mr. Behari,
I knew you would accept me.
No matter what I am like.
I was certain of it.
But, you were not there.
You were not there.
And I had no means to find you.
My financial condition
wasn't too good..
..and so, I couldn't
reach you.
I..
That day, I was in a dilemma
wondering what I should do.
I didn't know what to do.
So, I went away from there.
I went far away.
I left behind what I think is right
and wrong, my principles.
I left you.
I left my love.
I left everything behind.
It was a time, when I felt like
I am losing everything.
I always felt like an obstacle
between you and Mahen.
I could never imagine
that you..
..that it would ever be possible,
that you and I..
I always thought that..
..Mahen loves you a lot.
-And you love him.
-No.
I never loved Mahendra.
But, he left everything
and came chasing you.
-How long will you be gone?
-I don't know.
I am going to find a job.
I don't know,
when I will find it.
-I am leaving.
-Listen.
Isn't it possible for
you to bring the one..
..you want to settle down
with, here?
At least, let me come in.
-Mr. Mahen.
-What?
-Go away from here.
-What do you mean?
I did not come here to leave.
Open the door.
Let me come in.
I know, why you have come here.
But for now, go away from here.
Leave me alone.
I am in grave trouble.
I have come here
to solve all your problems.
-Let me come in.
-No.
Listen, don't aggravate
my problems.
People have a very low opnion of me.
I don't want it to fall further..
People have a very
low regard of you?
You have become so selfish. You
are thinking only about yourself!
I am being selfish.
And what about you?
You didn't think about
Ashalata, even once.
Right now, I can't
think about all that.
Binod, right now, I can't
think of anyone besides you.
No. You can't think.
But, I can think.
About myself.
About Ashalata.
-About you. And aunt..
-Binod. Binod. Binod, listen to me.
I am standing in front of you.
I have left everything behind.
I am standing in front of you.
To settle down with you.
To take you away from here.
-Come on, Binod. Come with me.
-No. No.
-I can't do this.
-Why?
I can't do this.
-What will people say?
-What will people say?
I have left my house
and given up everything..
..and I am standing
in front of you!
While you are concerned
about people, but not me!
Listen, Binod.
It's too late, now.
I won't be able to live
without you.
Perhaps, you also won't be
able to live.
Listen to me.
We will leave from here.
We will settle down elsewhere.
-We will live together.
-Mahen, where will we go?
Kolkata. I have made all
the arrangements in Kolkata.
As soon as I heard
Mahen talk about Kolkata..
..a brazen thought gripped me.
I thought, if I go to Kolkata,
I may be able to get to you.
I will find you.
And as soon as I find you,
I will tell you that..
..you are the one,
I have been searching for.
But to do that, I will
have to pretend to Mahen..
..that I am going to
Kolkata, to please him.
That means, I will
have to deceive him.
I was ready to do that too.
After all, I hoped to meet you.
I thought, all's
well, if it ends well.
"All that my heart wishes for."
"You are the one. That you are."
"All that my heart wishes for."
"In this world apart from you."
"I have none, nothing I have."
"All that my heart wishes for."
"If it is happiness that you seek."
"Go in search of happiness."
"If it is happiness that you seek."
"Go in search of happiness."
"I have you in my heart."
"Nothing more do I desire."
"All that my heart wishes for."
"You are the one. That you are."
"All that my heart wishes for."
-Does Mr. Behari live here?
-I don't know.
-Listen.
-Yes.
-Is Mr. Behari here?
-Who is Mr. Behari?
He is a doctor.
No. There is nobody
named Mr. Behari here.
-Does Mr. Behari work here?
-Who is Mr. Behari?
He is a doctor.
He has shifted
to our branch in Banaras.
"Pinning for you,
in your absence."
"I will live by your memories."
"Through the eternal day
and night."
Where did you go?
I had gone to the river banks.
I must discuss something
important with you.
Tell me.
Not like this.
You have to pay attention.
I am paying attention.
Tell me.
It's become difficult for me
to venture out of the house.
When I go out, I hear people
talking about me.
I have to lower my gaze
and listen to people's taunts.
Binod, it won't last
for very long.
Wait and watch. People will
keep quiet, soon enough.
It's easy for you to say this,
but, not for me.
So, what should I do?
Tell me.
Look, before we are humiliated
and thrown out of the house..
..we should go elsewhere.
Binod, we can go anywhere.
But, the circumstances will
be the same, everywhere.
-Do you regret it?
-What?
No.
Do you?
-Why don't you do one thing?
-Tell me.
-Let's go to Banaras.
-Banaras?
Yes. Leave me in
a widow's home.
You want to go to Banaras?
Let's go to Banaras.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Take me to Nukkarganj.
Horse carriage.
-Mr. Behari.
-Go further.
Listen, where can I
find Mr. Behari?
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Does Mr. Behari work here?
-The doctor?
Yes. The doctor.
Yes. He works here.
-Does he work here?
-Yes. Do you need anything?
-Where is he?
-He is not here at present.
He will return by evening.
Do you have
any message for him?
I will come back,
in the evening.
Mahen?
We have fought so many
times in the past, right?
But, our fights never
lasted for more than two days.
This time, you left Teen Dharia
and you didn't even meet me.
Are you so angry with me?
Forget about it, Mahen.
Have you really come
to Banaras to meet me? Or..
For the past month, I
have been looking for you.
To apologize to you.
You were right, Behari.
You know,
I am a very selfish man.
I never thought about
anyone, apart from myself.
I didn't think about you,
or Asha, or mother.
I didn't even think about
Binod.
I can still apologize
to mother and Asha.
I can't apologize to Binod.
So, I thought..
Why can't you apologize
to Binod?
Binod was suffering
from typhoid, Behari.
She refused to take
any kind of treatment.
Binod is dead, Behari.
Binod is dead, Behari.
I thought about what Mahen said,
all through the night.
I just couldn't believe him.
I went to Malda, to verify it.
To your house.
Over there, I found out
that Mahen had lied.
Since then, I have been
writing letters to you, regularly.
Every day.
I've been hoping that..
..you will reply, some day.
I never imagined
that, he would stoop so low.
You've returned very early.
What are you looking at
outside the window?
I was just noticing, that
it's so peaceful outside.
Everything is peaceful
outside the window, right?
You are being poetic.
I don't know what I
was and what I've become.
What are you saying?
Why are you packing your bags?
Okay, listen to me. Did you
get any work done today?
All my work was done, today.
Whatever little is
remaining, will also be done.
Forget about all this. You tell me.
Is your work done?
-What do I have to do?
-Yes. What do you have to do?
Your job is to sweep,
wash vessels..
..cook and search
for Behari.
Isn't that what you do?
Kolkata. Banaras.
You are so brazen!
You are so shameless.
You stayed with me
and yet, you betrayed me.
You used me to find Behari.
Actually, you deserve
respect, not insults.
Because, you didn't let
me know what's going on.
I had no idea at all.
And I did whatever
you said, like a crazy fool.
I did, whatever you said!
Without thinking, why have we
shifted to another place? Why?
Actually, you wrote
a letter to Behari, right?
I should have understood
everything, the day I received it.
But, I was blind!
That a vile woman like you
meant everything to me.
Actually, God has done
the right thing with you.
You deserve to spend your
whole life in a widow's home.
Sir.
Ma'am has brought
the money, personally.
I will be back.
Everything is fine.
Just wait for two minutes.
I want to introduce
you to someone. Wait.
For lifelong companionship, it's
not necessary to live together.
We have gone, as
far as we had to go.
From here, our paths diverge.
It's better for both of us.
I will atone for my mistakes
by serving people.
You deserve someone better
than me, Mr. Behari.
She is beautiful.
She is a doctor like you.
Marry her.
If you settle down, I swear,
I will be really happy.
Now, I have no
grievances in this life.
Life has done us a big favor,
by bringing us together, again.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have been
able to resolve our grievances.
I was at fault. But, you didn't
let your love for me wane.
Your Binod will learn to live
with the help of this thought.
Before leaving, all
I will ask is that..
..in our next birth, you
should belong only to me.
Don't belong to anybody else.
Binodini.
"The red soil road
leading from my village."
"The red soil road
leading from my village."
"It makes my heart wistful."
"It makes my heart wistful."
"Towards whom, has my heart
stretched out its hands?"
"Towards whom, has my heart
stretched out its hands?"
"And then rolled down
on the dust."
"It makes my heart wistful."
"The red soil road
leading from my village."
"It makes my heart wistful."
"It makes my heart wistful."
"It makes my heart wistful."
"It has made me
go out of my home."
"And I wonder for what
it has made me crazy?"
"I keep wandering for it."
"I keep wandering for it."
"I don't know where it
winds its way."
"It makes my heart wistful."
"It makes my heart wistful."
"It makes my heart wistful."

Tara, come here.
Here is your share,
of five pennies.
This time,
people paid me handsomely..
..because of
your innocent face.
I have earned Rs.12
in four days.
Rs.4 is my share.
I will buy seeds with this.
It will be enough to
feed my family for a year.
Family? You are a sage.
You are a hermit, aren't you?
It's very difficult to renounce
the worldly attachments, son.
Come with me.
We will grow crops.
The harvest will be
ready by spring.
We will leave again,
after that.
What happened?
Oh! I understand.
You are searching
for the meaning of life.
Once, I had also gone in
search of the meaning of life.
Then, I found out
that the meaning of life..
..lies nowhere else,
but, within you.
The meaning of life?
I have nothing to do
with the meaning of life.
I simply want to live life.
I don't want to ask the tall
trees, how they grew so big.
I simply want to watch their
vastness and feel delighted.
I don't want to question
the flow of the river.
I simply want to watch
it flowing, for miles on end.
I want to assimilate this unique
aspect of nature, within myself.
I want to lose myself
and not find myself.
I want to dissolve as
the sun dissolves in water.
I don't know
the meaning of life.
But, I want to know
what life is.
Shankar, come here.
-Who is that boy?
-I don't know.
But, he is very helpful.
We could do all the
work, only because of him.
Without his help, it would
have taken till evening..
..for me, to cook
the food.
What is his name?
Tarapada.
-Are you from this village?
-No.
So?
There is a village called
Nandigram, in the vicinity.
I have to go there.
Nandigram?
Come with me.
No, sir. I will go alone.
No, son. Come on. Why do
you want to wander alone?
We are going that way, anyway.
We will drop you at
Nandigram on the way.
Oh my God!
See, what has happened!
Your clothes
have dyed my clothes.
What should I do now?
What happened, Charu?
What did she do?
Mother, look!
She spoilt my clothes.
It's okay.
It's enough. Forget it.
Come on. Come up.
Come on, dear.
Give me the clothes.
Give them to me.
-Let go. What are you doing?
-Hey!
other, Mr. Mahen.'
The few days that we spent
without caring about the world..'
'..the intimacy that
we experienced..'
'..we will have to
forget about that.'
'Don't expect me to
love you, all my life.'
'You don't need love.'
'You have received
love in abundance.'
'Everybody has loved you.'
'I loved you, too.'
'But, tomorrow after Asha returns,
things will change.'
'Don't worry about me.'
'I was playing a game, to gain
something in a fantasy..'
'..that, I couldn't
gain in reality.'
'You think,
that I am being cruel.'
'Perhaps, I am.'
'But, I am not so shameless, that
even after my friend returns..'
'..I will continue to play games
with her husband.'
'Don't reply to this letter.'
'Or I will have no option,
but, to leave the house.'
'Is that what you want?'
I found this letter
in your shirt.
If you had not taught
me to read and write..
..perhaps, I would have never
been able to read this letter.
Asha, I..
Asha.
-Binodini, listen to me.
-Go away from here.
Bali has returned. Why are you
still meeting me, openly?
Shame on you.
One feels ashamed,
when the truth is a secret.
And we have been exposed.
Asha read your letter.
Which letter?
The one that you gave me,
yesterday.
How will I face her?
No. No. Binodini!
Listen. Listen to me.
That's why I have decided,
we have no other option..
..apart from leaving all this
and go away.
-Should I elope with you?
-Yes.
What happened?
Binod, what do you want?
Binod, it's very difficult for me to
live with Asha in the same house.
Even if I become
shameless and do this..
..staying away from you,
despite being so close to you..
..it will drive me crazy.
Listen to me, Binod.
We have distanced
ourselves from the world.
Now, we only have each other.
That's why, I am telling you
to come with me.
That's not possible
in this life.
It's not possible?
Then, why did you make
the impossible, possible?
Why did you get
intimate with me?
Why did you write me letters?
Why did you stay that night..
Because, you stopped me
when I wanted to leave.
Why did you stop me?
Why did you say, "Can't you see
the love in my eyes, Binod?"
Why did you do that?
Now, is it entirely my fault?
No. It's not your fault.
It's the fault of the
feelings, without which..
..we couldn't have
come closer.
Now that we are so close,
it's difficult to stay away, Binod.
That's why I am saying,
pack your bags and come with me.
Are you out of your
mind, Mahen?
Do you know, what you
are telling me to do?
What am I telling
you to do? Listen to me.
We definitely can't fix
the mess.
At least, don't spoil what's good.
That's all I am saying.
Look, pack your bags and come.
What happened?
Mahen.
What are you doing
here, so late at night?
There was a letter in my shirt.
I came to take it.
Did you find it?
-Well..
-No.
The clothes have
been sent for washing.
If you find my letter,
give it to me.
Mr. Behari?
Yes. This is his house.
But, he is not at home.
-Okay. Where has he gone?
-He has gone to Kolkata.
He left today in the morning.
-Kolkata?
-Yes.
-When will he return?
-He won't return so soon.
He got a job over there.
I wanted to get
to a destination.
And that was you.
My final destination.
But, you were not there.
At that time, I wasn't
thinking straight.
I was running.
From myself.
From everybody.
From all the circumstances,
created by me.
I wanted to escape from

-I don't know.
I am going to find a job.
I don't know,
when I will find it.
-I am leaving.
-Listen.
Isn't it possible for
you to bring the one..
..you want to settle down
with, here?
At least, let me come in.
-Mr. Mahen.
-What?
-Go away from here.
-What do you mean?
I did not come here to leave.
Open the door.
Let me come in.
I know, why you have come here.
But for now, go away from here.
Leave me alone.
I am in grave trouble.
I have come here
to solve all your problems.

I am standing in front of you.
To settle down with you.
To take you away from here.
-Come on, Binod. Come with me.
-No. No.
-I can't do this.
-Why?
I can't do this.
-What will people say?
-What will people say?
I have left my house
and given up everything..
..and I am standing
in front of you!
While you are concerned
about people, but not me!
Listen, Binod.
It's too late, now.
I won't be able to live
without you.
Perhaps, you also won't be
able to live.
Listen to me.
We will leave from here.
We will settle down elsewhere.
-We will live together.

be the same, everywhere.
-Do you regret it?
-What?
No.
Do you?
-Why don't you do one thing?
-Tell me.
-Let's go to Banaras.
-Banaras?
Yes. Leave me in
a widow's home.
You want to go to Banaras?
Let's go to Banaras.
-Hello.
-Hello.
Take me to Nukkarganj.
Horse carriage.
-Mr. Behari.
-Go further.
Listen, where can I
find Mr. Behari?
-Hello.
-Hello.
-Does Mr. Behari work here?
-The doctor?
Yes. The doctor.
Yes. He works here.
-Does he work here?
-Yes. Do you need anything?
-Where is he?
-He is not here at present.
He will return by evening.
Do you have
any message for him?
I will come back,
in the evening.
Mahen?
We have fought so many
times in the past, right?
But, our fights never
lasted for more than two days.
This time, you left Teen Dharia
and you didn't even meet me.
Are you so angry with me?
Forget about it, Mahen.
Have you really come
to Banaras to meet me? Or..
For the past month, I
have been looking for you.
To apologize to you.
You were right, Behari.
You know,
I am a very selfish man.
I never thought about
anyone, apart from myself.
I didn't think about you,
or Asha, or mother.
I didn't even think about
Binod.
I can still apologize
to mother and Asha.
I can't apologize to Binod.
So, I thought..
Why can't you apologize
to Binod?
Binod was suffering
from typhoid, Behari.
She refused to take
any kind of treatment.
Binod is dead, Behari.
Binod is dead, Behari.
I thought about what Mahen said,
all through the night.
I just couldn't believe him.
I went to Malda, to verify it.
To your house.
Over there, I found out
that Mahen had lied.
Since then, I have been
writing letters to you, regularly.
Every day.
I've been hoping that..
..you will reply, some day.
I never imagined
that, he would stoop so low.
You've returned very early.
What are you looking at
outside the window?
I was just noticing, that
it's so peaceful outside.
Everything is peaceful
outside the window, right?
You are being poetic.
I don't know what I
was and what I've become.
What are you saying?
Why are you packing your bags?
Okay, listen to me. Did you
get any work done today?
All my work was done, today.
Whatever little is
remaining, will also be done.
Forget about all this. You tell me.
Is your work done?
-What do I have to do?
-Yes. What do you have to do?
Your job is to sweep,
wash vessels..
..cook and search
for Behari.
Isn't that what you do?
Kolkata. Banaras.
You are so brazen!
You are so shameless.
You stayed with me
and yet, you betrayed me.
You used me to find Behari.
Actually, you deserve
respect, not insults.
Because, you didn't let
me know what's going on.
I had no idea at all.
And I did whatever
you said, like a crazy fool.
I did, whatever you said!
Without thinking, why have we
shifted to another place? Why?
Actually, you wrote
a letter to Behari, right?
I should have understood
everything, the day I received it.
But, I was blind!
That a vile woman like you
meant everything to me.
Actually, God has done
the right thing with you.
You deserve to spend your
whole life in a widow's home.
Sir.
Ma'am has brought
the money, personally.
I will be back.
Everything is fine.
Just wait for two minutes.
I want to introduce
you to someone. Wait.
For lifelong companionship, it's
not necessary to live together.
We have gone, as
far as we had to go.
From here, our paths diverge.
It's better for both of us.
I will atone for my mistakes
by serving people.
You deserve someone better
than me, Mr. Behari.
She is beautiful.
She is a doctor like you.
Marry her.
If you settle down, I swear,
I will be really happy.
Now, I have no
grievances in this life.
Life has done us a big favor,
by bringing us together, again.
Otherwise, we wouldn't have been
able to resolve our grievances.
I was at fault. But, you didn't
let your love for me wane.
Your Binod will learn to live
with the help of this thought.
Before leaving, all
I will ask is that..
..in our next birth, you
should belong only to me.
Don't belong to anybody else.
Binodini.

Tara, come here.
Here is your share,
of five pennies.
This time,
people paid me handsomely..
..because of
your innocent face.
I have earned Rs.12
in four days.
Rs.4 is my share.
I will buy seeds with this.
It will be enough to
feed my family for a year.
Family? You are a sage.
You are a hermit, aren't you?
It's very difficult to renounce
the worldly attachments, son.
Come with me.
We will grow crops.
The harvest will be
ready by spring.
We will leave again,
after that.
What happened?
Oh! I understand.
You are searching
for the meaning of life.
Once, I had also gone in
search of the meaning of life.
Then, I found out
that the meaning of life..
..lies nowhere else,
but, within you.
The meaning of life?
I have nothing to do
with the meaning of life.
I simply want to live life.
I don't want to ask the tall
trees, how they grew so big.
I simply want to watch their
vastness and feel delighted.
I don't want to question
the flow of the river.
I simply want to watch
it flowing, for miles on end.
I want to assimilate this unique
aspect of nature, within myself.
I want to lose myself
and not find myself.
I want to dissolve as
the sun dissolves in water.
I don't know
the meaning of life.
But, I want to know
what life is.
Shankar, come here.
-Who is that boy?
-I don't know.
But, he is very helpful.
We could do all the
work, only because of him.
Without his help, it would
have taken till evening..
..for me, to cook
the food.
What is his name?
Tarapada.
-Are you from this village?
-No.
So?
There is a village called
Nandigram, in the vicinity.
I have to go there.
Nandigram?
Come with me.
No, sir. I will go alone.
No, son. Come on. Why do
you want to wander alone?
We are going that way, anyway.
We will drop you at
Nandigram on the way.
Oh my God!
See, what has happened!
Your clothes
have dyed my clothes.
What should I do now?
What happened, Charu?
What did she do?
Mother, look!
She spoilt my clothes.
It's okay.
It's enough. Forget it.
Come on. Come up.
Come on, dear.
Give me the clothes.
Give them to me.
-Let go. What are you doing?
-Hey!
