"Children, have you written four lines about your mother..." ....which I had told you to write. -Yes Master-Very good. "Raju, have you written or not. -It is blank, do U sleep in class" Answer me. Only this stick will make you speak. "Master, please don't beat him." How can he write when he does'nt have a mother "Call from Delhi -Sir, your call from Delhi." "Yes, I am Prem here, Shrivastav!" "Ramu uncle, with whom is my father speaking." With someone in Delhi. -But Delhi is very far. "Not only to Delhi, we can speak to anyone in sky by phone" "Don't worry your work will be done. Come Raju, let's have food." I want the number to God's house- What? I want to speak to my mother. -ls your mother in God's house. "Yes, can you tell her that her son Raju is calling her." "Wait, Neeta It is a boy asking for God's phone number" He wants to speak to his mother. Why don't you speak to the poor boy - Forget it "Come on, nothing will happen if you speak for two minutes." Ok- Speak to your mother. "Mother, I am your son Raju. -Yes, won't I identify my son?" How are you mother? -I am fine. I miss you. You take a holiday from God and come to me. I cannot come. -Why? Don't you love me. "I love you a lot. -Then, why can't you come?" "If I have clone some mistake, I will catch my ears," "l promise, I will never trouble you or make any mistake." Please come I want to see you and talk to you. I want to keep my head on your lap and sleep. Don't cry. Are'nt you my brave son.-Now I am telling you very.. "...clearly, day after tommorow is my birthday and if you don't ....come I will stop eating and drinking and give my life. "No, You must not say that. -Then promise that you will..." ...come for my birthday. -I will come.-Don't forget. Till you come I will not cut the cake.-l will surely come. "Okay mother.- Father, see mother is going to come." I just spoke to her and she said she would come for my birthday "Yes, son, your mother will surely come on your birthday" "Raju, cut the cake quickly, we are feeling hungry." "Not now, after mother comes -Nobody comes from God's home" My mother will surely come as she has herself told me. "Must be your mother's ghost. -If you call her a ghost, ...will kill you.- Light has gone -What happened to the light? "Father lied as usual, today also he did'nt bring my mother." Mother - Son! The days of happiness have come. I have got whatever I asked for. Today my mother has called me as son. Mother! My mother! "Master, my mother has come. Aunty, my mother has come." "Mother, I want to grow on your lap & hold your finger and walk." I want to pray before you as you are my God Everywhere I see only your form The days of happiness have come. I have got whatever I asked for. Today my mother has called me as son. Are you seeing what I can see -Yes! Take your medicine on time "My dear sister, why did you leave us and come?" It looked like my funeral when you left for your husband's home He cried so much that it looked as if a drainage pipe has broken Not drainage but water pipe -Both are the same. "Brother-in-law, we won't leave you and go now." "Totharam, you can stay with us. -Lakshmi, take them inside..." I will meet the collector and come.-Brother-in-law is nice He is nice. Have you transferred all property in your name by now "Don't worry, brother, everything will be ours in some days." "Sister, we are lost. Did you see this will?-What is there in it?" We conducted our sister's marriage with Prembabu so... ...she gets the property. But he is only the caretaker of property. He has no rights over it. Raju's mother has written... ...all property in Raju's name before her death. She has also written that till Raju is married and without... "...his wife's permission, he can't transfer his property to someone." But what will happen to the one which is going to born to Maina He should also gets his rights. -My son will surely get his right "l will control in such a way that he will tell only "mother" ...always in his whole life till he dies. "How much?-16 "Mans" "-Collect while you come back" "Son, do you know, how much this accountant has studied?" "A lot, he speaks English also -Still, why does he bow before..." "...us- That is because, learned people respect others." "No, son, he bows as we have lots of money which your father.." "...earned by working in the fields -But, by studying only..." "No, son, let me explain to you, see how everybody is bowing..." ...before your father. That man with black coat is a lawyer One is Tahsildar and all are educated & are only servants. "I won't be a servant and become a master, mother" "From now on you work in the fields, as read treasure is not..." "...in books but one earth. Give, Let me throw these books." "Not this as "Ma" is written in this. I will tear this book." "See son, this part of our fields is barren for many years." "Nothing grows here, not even grass. With hard work, you..." ...should convert this into a greenery-What are you doing? Such a large burden on a small boy. The field which could not... "...be cultivated by strong men, can a boy do that?" Mother! - Put me down! -See now lush the fields are This was just a barren land. If you tell me... ...I would have converted even a desert into green fields. How will a son not listen to his mother's words? Tired so soon! -Looks as if brother Ramesh is leaving the... "...house permanently. So heavy, that I am dead." What you are whispering to your wife?Did U keep things properly? Yes- Then close it now. Nothing should be left behind "Hurry up, Ramesh, it is late. -Will remember you a lot, Uncle" Take my memory along with you! Am I a demon that she is shouting. "No, but God Narayan also is scared of naked ones" But I am wearing clothes -But where!- Go fast! "What you mean by obstructing the way, we are already late" We are only delaying you but you have brought darkness into our... ...lives by snatching our fields. -Which field? That land... mbelongs to us and will remain ours only. That land is our ancestofs. If you don't hand it over... "...proper | y, I can use improper means-Whom are you threatening" Do anything you can do I don't face dogs like you. "It is time for the train to leave, still Raju has not come." "Mother, I got Badam Halwa made for Ramesh and got late." "The train started, get inside. Pay respect to mother." "l forgot to give this. Have everyday, brain will be sharp." This is your last year. Work hard. Mother's dream is that... ...you should become a big doctor & you should fulfil that What do you mean by this? -Sign quietly or... - Rogue! You are also not good. The whole village knows how... "...wicked U are. When thousands die, a sinner like you is born." You abused my mother! I won't leave you at all. Leave me! "Leave him, Raju! -I tell you, leave him." "Is this just? When he was asking for his right, he..." ...tried to take away his life -He does'nt know right or... ...wrong. He is blind in his mother's love. "God knows how she has enchanted him, Raju loves her" ...more than her own son. She has made him mad. "Raju is only her step son, but she has imprisoned her own..." ...husband by making him mad. "Babuji, eat this before that demoness comes." "My heart is hungry, not my stomach. Even animals fill..." ...their stomach by dry things But I want to live like a human I want to come out of here. lam dying here "Be patient, Babuji Shall I ask something?" Why are you in this dark room? Can't understand anything "it is a story of 20 years, when I had brought a mother for Raju" But I did'nt know that she had married me only for money "When she knew, that all the property was in Raju's name..." ...she stopped his studies to bring him under her control. When I learnt this from his master! "If you don't go to school, I will break your legs" "Don't beat the innocent child, I have told his mother many times." "But she did'nt listen- She is aware of this, then" "To remove me from the path, my wife & her brother conspired.." "As soon as brother-in-law regains consciousness, give him..." "...another dose, sister -My head is aching" "You take this drug, everything will be alright-No, I won't!" "But taking advantage, she gave me a medicine which made me..." ...mad for some time. Save me I understood that all this conspiracy was my wife's. You are provoking innocent Raju also to go against me. I won't leave you and will kill you. Raju! He has killed my nephew! "Then, I was declared mad. I don't feel sad that the whole..." "...wor | d calls me mad, but my own son also thinks I am mad" "We know, nothing is wrong with you and one day brother Raju.." "...will also learn the truth. Come and sit, Babuji" "Have your food, Babuji" "If you repeat this daring, I will kick you out of the house." "Don't look at his chicken, go away!" "Brother-in-law will you eat this, this is good, eat!" "Raju, the invitation of Ram Prasad' son marriage has come" "Has invited both of us. -You only go, mother" "They are our near relations. They will feel bad, if we don't go." "Ok, when should we go? -By tomorrow morning" "Come fast, marriage procession has come." "Saraswati, your dupatta has gone.-Choti" Go & bring my dupatta from that man. "Take this, sister." "Are you Raju? Everybody is waiting for you, come." Was I dreaming? "Where is this Raju?- He is a youth, must be roaming!" Where were you?- I... -Now sit here "Call the bride. -What happened, son?." Just got hiccups! "Raju, where are you going now?- Hiccups & water!" Go & drink water and come. "Your teeth are very nice, you use Monkeybrand tooth powder!" I also use the same. See! - Take the juice. "No, don't drink that. You go away from here" "Why should'nt I drink, lam thirsty." Your good lies in not drinking this juice. You go away. Why did you stop me from having the juice?-Your name! "Saraswati- Listen, there was ice in that juice. That would have..." ...made you cough & fever' | | come which can develop into... "mpenumonia, which I would'nt have liked." Your friend got annoyed and went. There is only one way to pacify her. She likes roses a lot. Take one rose from that fat woman's hair and give it. See there! I wanted a rose but this bouquet has come into this. "This is not fair. I have already given the 3 lakhs, I promised." From where will I bring another 2 lakhs now. "When 3 lakhs was decided, economy was low, but now..." ...my son's value has increased. Now marriage will take place... ...only if 5 lakhs are given. Or I will go with my son now. "Come here, Tulsiramji & son! lam your well-wisher and to..." ...give right advice is my duty. Now government is very... ...strict with dowry seekers. If somebody complains against you... ...police will beat you with shoes. Then they will catch... ...you & you'll be imprisoned for 3 years in jail & made to slog We will take leave- You increased our prestige by coming That was our duty Where will I get Ms. Saraswati? -Why? I have come to give her photographs- Give it to me "Who are you?- I am her.... -Oh that, give this to her" My heart started beating and started getting scared. "Beloved, please leave my hands" Our hearts have met then why you are you still shy. "You are my lover, how beautiful you look!" "When you called me mine, I started having sweet dreams" "From the time I saw you, my mind is awakened, my queen" You magic has spread into my whole body. "I started forgetting myself, and hold you in my breath now." What is this relation which has maddened both of us? "Your black hair is entangled, allow me to set it right." "What is your union, let the time for our union come." "Don't make reasons and come into my arms, dear" "Don't meet my eyes like that, what will the others think" "There is merry all around, come and hug me." My heart started beating and started getting scared. "Beloved, please leave my hands" Our hearts have met then why you are you still shy. "Where has she gone, from where you come, now?" You are making me swing for the last two hours. Now you... "...ask me how I came. Thank God, I stopped you on time." "Otherwise, I could'nt have shown my face to anyone." "I had such a nice dream, you spoiled everything, you donkey" "Tell me, who came into your dreams- Saraswati!" You started loving her. Don't be scared. This Hanuman promises... ...that he will definitely unite Sita & Ram. Give Rs. 200- You take Rs. 400- but you make me meet her- Done! Thief! Stealing in front of a policeman It is already afternoon searching for her. Have'nt seen her yet. You search that side. I will search this side. "Khan -Sultana, what happened? -One man teased me & ran away" I will see to him Sister-in-law! "Khanji, he only teased me!" "I won't leave you, you tease her twice - But only once!" I will shoot you!-Is it duplicate -No real- Run! Why are you beating me? "Brother Raju!-Did you get her? -Yes, got a lot!" You told me lies that I will get her in the fair & took Rs. 200- "Listen, see there -I got her -Tell us also what you got." He is the same one who was after me in the marriage also. "Then, let us run away from here-Tell us what you got." He got his loved one -Where is she? How did this happen? How did my good sister-in-law became... ...donkey before marriage. Now Raju brother has to become a... "...donkey now.-Fool, this is not your sister-in-law, come" We will sit on that & have fun. Can't you see and come. "Give me a kiss-Have no teeth & want a kiss, old man!" "O | dy, U don't kiss me but ask others for it. Will teach U! Come" "Because of your madness, she vanished-You were also mad." "How much money do you have? -Rs. 5,000-" "Listen everybody, this girl is lost, whoever finds her will..." "...get a prize of Rs. 5,000- -Let us find the girl." "Come, the girl worth Rs. 5,000- on God's name. There she is!" I am going as I feel giddy -Are you hurt?- What is the time?- 11:30 God bless you- Come! Khan saab- See there! Don't leave him. How much is it? -Two rupees "There is the girl worth Rs. 5,000-" "Those rogues are troubling me -You go, I can't help you!" "She is the girl of Rs. 5000-, constable" "Don't shout, can't you see that the matter is fixed now." "Move away, I saw her first!- No, me!" So you have put these rogues behind me. What do you want? I feel shy to tell.-You are behind me like a shameless. What is the relation between us -Can call it relation of ages. "With you. Have you seen your face on the mirror, monkey!" Open this fast. Has come like a big prince. lam Bhairav Singh Rana. If someone sees me once... ...they can't forget it for seven births. I got 2 years imprisonment due to your father's statement... ...just for raping a girl. Today I will rape you in front of all. Leave me! "Pandit, marry this donkey to another donkey, so he never..." "...teases another girl in the village, do it!" "it is already evening, let me leave you in your house." "Pandu, tell mother that I will come home late." This cyclone is furious. We will have to wait here till it subsides You are shivering with cold. Come and sit here. I will light a fire in the meantime. You inhale the... "...heat otherwise you will get cough, fever & your body..." "...will pain & then...- I will get pneumonia, which you won't like." "Raju, U have done a great favour by saving my prestige today." Not at all. It's the duty of every man to protect a lady's respect. "Your hands are hurt- Nothing, just a scratch, it will be fine." A small scratch will become a big wound and get septic and... ...poison will spread & your hand will be cut which I would'nt like. "You have returned my own shot, Saraswatiji" Your voice is like the Cuckoo's. Your face is so innocent. Your eyes are filled with kajal & lips are like fire. My heart is getting lost after seeing me. Your words are musical and enchant my mind always. Your colours attract me. Something is happening to me after seeing me. You are queen of youth and you are blossoming with fragrance. "When I am near you, our breaths also filled with fragrance." You are spreading nectar -My life is yearning for you Your bangles are taking away my consciousness. You have made my yearn! -You took away my peace Your words are musical and enchant my mind always. Your colours attract me. Something is happening to me after seeing me. You touched my body and my mind is in turmoil. Your flying veil is making my heart to dance. Colour has been added to me by your love. My whole age is writing only your name. I will become a bride and come to your house lam thirsty to unite with you -How to tell the fire in me? Your voice is like the Cuckoo's. Your face is so innocent. Your eyes are filled with kajal & lips are like fire. My heart is getting lost after seeing me. Where were you lost? -In somebody's thoughts! Let me also know that somebody. You want to know -Then come with me. That is only you! "Have I made a mistake? -Yes, a very big one." Think it as a mistake & know that I love you very much... ...with a true heart.-It is a sin for me to hear that "I am going to marry someone else, with whom I am engaged." "Saraswati, Unknowingly I've hurt you. Let me leave you home now." There they are coming. I told you before that I don't believe that. See there! "Ask your future daughter-in-law, where she was the whole..." ...night and what she was doing? "Shyam Lalji, you only ask your daughter." "Answer me, where were you the whole night, and what you did?" "Father, you also think wrongly about me." If a young daughter does'nt return the whole night... ...what will the old father think and then explain to the society. I should have died before seeing this day. "Sir, nothing went wrong. Whole night, we were stuck in cyclone" Which cyclone are you talking about? The cyclone in your... ...minds or the cyclone which united a unmarried girl & boy. It is a lie.-Then were you praying to her the whole night She has blackened the image of the whole village like this. Now who will marry our daughters and sisters &... "...keep relation with the village -Whoever has, will also break it" lam also breaking the engagement and can't make... ...this characterless girl as my daughter-in-law "Please wait, the blame on this innocent girl is false." "By God, I say that she is sacred like Ganga & we did'nt sin at all" Don't break this engagement -Such a girl can't be kept "...even as a keep, leave alone marrying her." "If you are not her would-be husband, my answer can hit you." What? First you do a sin and then beat him also. "Villagers, show him the result of playing with prestige of village." Beat him! Stop! I am telling you to stop! If somebody beats him again... ...I will cut him-Whom are you threatening? Beat him "Bhairav, Hariya, if you have the courage, beat him and show!" You are beating an innocent without mercy. Do you think... "...he is wearing bangles, and can't beat you back." "If he wishes, he can destroy you all with one single hit." He is quiet just to see that I get justice. "That too, you are worrying about my prestige. Yesterday you..." ...had come to the fair to rape me & would have done so... ...if this man had not saved me. "And you were going to become husband, a life-long relation." But you don't know that basis of husband-wife relation is... "...be | ief, and you can't trust me for one night. Now I tell you." "You are not fit to become even a broker, leave alone a husband" "Keep this bangle given by you, and get away from here." "You are only my mother & father, and I have the culture..." "...which you have given me. I will die, but not do such a sinful..." ...which will make you bow in shame. I will never allow that. Will you marry me? "Daughter, fall at her feet, your fate has opened up." By accepting the marriage of my uneducated daughter with... "...your son Raju, you have done a great favour." My daughter will serve you as a servant in your house. Look for a auspicious day soon and conduct the marriage. "Sister, I don't know why you selected this pauper." "If you had seen a rich family, lot of dowry would have come" "Don't talk foolishly. As per Raju's mother's will, he can't..." ...transfer his property to anyone without his wife's consent. I understood. You can take Raju's wife's thumb impression also... "...Raju's and can seize all his property, sister." "Mother, brother Raju has come." "Raju, where were you last night, I was very much worried." I got stuck in a cyclone -It is ok. I have to tell you a very good news today- I also have a... "...good news, mother- What is it?- Saraswati!" She is my mother!-She is your daughter-in-law. The situation was only such that we were compelled to marry. Won't you take the blessings of your mother? Mother!- I bless you-Are you unhappy with my marriage How can a mother be not happy when her son's life is settled. "My happiness lies only in your happiness-Really, mother" You saw how good my mother is. She is not upset by our... "mmarriage at all. Ma,I don't need anything else but your happiness." All our dreams are lost. The way you are welcoming that girl.. ...it looks as if we have to leave for Haridwar soon with our bags "Do something, sister -She left without speaking" "During the dice game in Mahabharata, Shakuni also left..." "...smiling, but it resulted in Draupati's insult." "Don't worry, sister will definitely plan some conspiracy." My daughter-in-law is like the moon. I am proud of my Raju's... ...choice. Even I could'nt have got such a modest beauty for him. Sit down. I had made these two bangles for Raju's bride. Take it. "Let me put it on your hands myself-Why these tears, mother?" Sometimes God gives sorrow alongwith happiness. "What is it?- How do I tell you, as it concerns Raju's life." What are you telling?- I have to tell you the secret which I... ...had hidden in my heart. This is Raju's horoscope. See it. What is written?-If Raju becomes a father before 25 yrs... ...it is written that it will result in his death. I did'nt conduct the marriage till now as there is some time left... "...till he becomes 25 years.- Mother, telling this matter to me" "I knew, you would'nt believe such things. But what do I do." "I am a mother, and beg to you for Raju's life. Please for..." "...God's sake, don't let this disaster to happen" "Listen, it is only a matter of some days. I beg at your feet" "Mother, whatever you tell, that will be done." But please don't tell about this to Raju. "Saru, your love has given a new light to my life." We will start the first night of our life with these bright stars. So your life is full of happiness and has no place for darkness. "No, Raju- Why not? - As I am telling you" "Your Raju will not hear "no" "today. Come near me." lam refusing & you don't listen. Stay away & don't touch me. "What are you telling, have I done some mistake, Saru?" "Please leave me alone, Raju. -Alone and that too tonight!" But why!-I don't have the answer for that. "If you don't want to go, I will only go away-No, Saru" "You don't have to leave this room, I will only go away." "I don't know, for what you are punishing me, but I assure you..." ...that I will never come near you to claim my husbandly rights. "Great sister, this Totharam is nothing before your plans." You should be in Delhi. By spreading Raju's fear of death... ...you misled her so much that she herself spoiled her first... ...night of marriage. You kindle this fire so much that she... ... | eaves this house in four days. Our work is over and let us... ...go and sleep peacefully now. What a mother-in-law? My henna's colour has not faded... ...even now. But you started showing your colours. "But remember one thing, put all the oil you have in the fire." "If I don't teach you a lesson, I am not my father's daughter" I will not spare you today -What is it? You are very... ...happy today.-Today's climate is only very romantic "Are you mad?- No, but I want a flower to bloom in our house." So many flowers are there here. -I am not talking about those... ...but one will bloom inside you. -Could'nt do anything in youth "Now, in this age, you will make a flower bloom- What!" You keep coming & laughing -I am only bringing vegetables. Go and make food for me -I am going "You had asked for vegetables, see these!, are you listening?" "You look annoyed today-What else to do, yesterday was..." ...Raju brother's first night. But he was sleeping at the backyard "His fate is only bad, mother was a demoness but the wife is..." ...also like that only. -The queen has come. "Pandu, what are you making -Vegetables- I will make" Why are you talking like that? -I cannot respect a woman... ...who has no respect for her husband-But what did I do? Why was Raju sleeping in the backyard on his first night? "If you thought he is not suitable for you, why did you marry him?" "Who said that, I am only not fit for him- But what I heard!" Those were lies. This family's elders want to separate me and... ...Raju for their selfishness and want to break our marriage But I will not allow their wishes to be filled. Won't I respect I... ...person who saved my prestige and my father's in front of the... whose village, will I not give him respect. Think about it." "You don't know how much I love him- Sorry, I misunderstood you." "Pandu, bring food, I am dying of hunger-Then die, I am coming" "Stomach or what, never gets filled up. First go and give..." "...food to Babuji, then we can feed these street dwellers." "This dry food for Babuji- What to do, those people!" "Don't worry about them, I will take food for Babuji from today." Babuji! -Daughter-in-law-How can the owner stay hungry... ...when everybody else is eating nicely. I did'nt like it. You are crying-l was thirsty for affection for the last 20 years I was only hungry for this pity -Why is this injustice happening... ...in this house for so many years. Why nobody is stopping it "I tried to stop it alone, but my wife with her brother proved..." ...me mad and left me to die in this hell. "I wanted to bring a mother for my Raju, but a snake came" She did'nt allow Raju to study and made him an ignorant. So that she can take advantage of him. My Raju thinks of her... ...as a goddess and prays her. Before that snake engulfs him... "...p | ease save my Raju, daughter-in-law." "Gauri, Rani, work carefully. -Where do I keep this?" Put it on my head -If this year's yield is not good..... "Why are you so upset today? -Looks, he did'nt sleep yesterday" Stop talking & do your work -That is what we are doing Your bride has come brother What magic you did in the night that she does'nt leave you in ...day also -Why did you come here? I had to talk to you- Come and talk in that hut. Taking her to the hut. "I want to tell you- I know, you want to say, I am not suitable..." ...for you. - Listen to me -I have heard in the fair only That is you will marry only a prince not a monkey like me "Suru, I am your husband, did I try to force myself on you." Why you did'nt do it? - What are you doing? Marriage is the union of two souls-Then let us unite. You think I will melt by your behaviour. I will die but will... "...not let you near you- Please accept me, Raju" Don't compel me to become a Menaka-I am not Vishwamitra... ...to get melted by your words. -ls that so- Yes. You think something will happen to me by your actions Any effect- No! "Gauri, I am going home-Why -I am remembering him" What was the secret thing that happened with your beloved... "...tell us, our friend." My ears are looking down and I am feeling shy... ...how can I tell my secret message. "Take oath on us, don't hide anything from us" "Tell us, how the flowers from your hair fell down." "A bee sat on my hair, I was trying to drive it away" The flowers were delicate-ls it? Hence kept on falling from the strings. The signs of the teeth which can be seen on you.... "...tell us friend, how they came about." I got a parrot in the night. Seeing it my mind was blooming I kept on fondling the beautiful parrot It bit me and then flew away. Your entangled hair is asking you... ...how your blouse has got wrinkles. Tell us friend! My troubled heart started remembering an unknown And I started feeling restless When I could not my painful longing... ...I started pressing my heart with my own hands. What is this suspense on this Ghagra? And why are you wearing it on the reverse side. Tell us "You are caught now. Yes, you are caught." All of you come here. I will tell you everything. I will not hide any secret from you. Whatever Maina tells a parrot secretly. Whatever happens after the lights are off The pain that is told to the sky. Whatever a bee tells a flower We also did the same thing. Listen all of you "See mother, Ramesh has become a doctor and has brought..." ...so many degrees from the city. Now your dream has been... "...fu | fi | | ed, mother. Are you happy?-Yes, very much" Now our Ramesh has become a doctor. Ramesh has finished his studies. See a good girl and conduct... "...his marriage now-Shall we look for a girl, or you have one" "Mother, that is...-Tell us who the girl is, her family..." ...and what is she doing? -She is Konika and she... ...belongs to very big family. But there is a small problem. "She is a modern girl, and wants our marriage in the Court." "Court or Assembly, we are concerned with daughter-in-law" Raju is telling correctly-You got Mother's permission now You prepare for bringing your bride now. Come- What is this noise?- These are crackers to welcome U "Ramesh, you have brought the bride. Champa, bring "Aarti" "No, I don't believe in these old traditions. I have to go inside..." take bath in cold water -Yes, let us go" "She is a modern girl. -Pandey, what do you think of this girl" I feel she is quite a bad woman "Such a long journey, my whole body is paining." "If you are tired, shall I press your legs-Yes" "Tea, brother Ramesh. I did'nt see anything." It is 40 years since this country got freedom. Still the... ...husbands here are servants of their wives. ls that right?-You stop your nonsense and give the tea.-Yes "How bad is this tea?-Madam, people from the village come..." ...just to drink the tea I make. You don't call it bad. The taste in your mouth is only bad. Check it up with your... ...husband who is a doctor. ls'nt it?-Bloody servant She is calling you-I am telling you valueless servant "See madam, my name is not servant but Pandav Bhikaji Rao" "Talking back, you donkey.- Whoever is kicking is calling" "...me a donkey- Ramesh, Pandav, what is happening?" "See, this servant is... - My name is not servant" "Don't talk like this with the owner, go from here." "Konika, did you take father's blessings-No, who will go..." ...to that mad man's room. What if breaks my head? "Konika, don't you feel ashamed to talk like this about your..." "...father-in-law?-No, everybody knows he is a mad man." "Do you know, what you are saying-She is telling the truth" Came to advise us like a grandmother! Come father -Why did you stop? "Those people...- Nothing will happen, come with me" "My own family left me to die in hell, but though an outsider..." ...you gave me freedom. You should live long. "Let us go to the temple, father -What are you doing?" It is dangerous to free this mad man as he is like a wild animal. "In this house, wolf is free but the cow is tied & kept." "See Madam, even I know to abuse in English." But I belong to a country where daughter-in-laws come... ...with a covered cloth in front of their father-in-law and... ...do not roam half-dressed like this. Take this towel to cover You can't take him out. Keep your delicate hands under control. If you cross the limits... ...I will break it and give it in your husband's hands. "Let us go, father- That is why I told you not to irritate." You did'nt do right by taking him out of his room. I know what is right & what is wrong. But you don't know. Do I have to learn this from you now?- Yes. When the elders in the house go in the wrong path out of their... "mselfishness, then the younger ones have to teach them the..." ...right path.- Daughter-in-law! -Don't shout! Husband is like God. You have treated him like an animal. You don't deserve to be called human- Then are we animals! "Be thankful, my son Raju did not hear, what you told about me." I want him to learn how selfish and greedy his mother is. "Suru, another word about my mother will not be for your good" "Raju, you don't know how bad your mother is? She did not..." ...allow you to study so that she can take advantage of you. "Your mother does'nt love you at all, she loves only your property." The mother you worship is not a goddess but a demoness. What did you say? I will kill you today for calling her a demones.. "Raju, I tell you to leave her. -Saw how good my mother is" "You abused her so much, but she only saved you from me today." "But if you want to live in this house, you fall at my mother's..." ...feet and ask for forgivance now only. Or there is no place... ...for you in this house- I also don't want to stay in a place... ...where one is punished for telling the truth. Saw this lady who does not respect her husband also. "From the time I have come to this house, only I rule here." Nobody has been able to change it. What are you? "My advice is, don't open your mouth except for eating here." Or your life will be worse than hell here. I also take oath that I won't sit at peace without removing all... ...the injustice going on in this house. "Raju, I hurt your mind. Please forgive me." "l should ask for forgivance, as I behaved like an animal." "But what should I do, whenever anybody abuses my mother..." lose control of myself. You can abuse me a lot, but please..." ...don't talk badly about my mother. I request you that. What has happened?-I punished myself for beating you. "Forgive me, Raju, I did'nt know you love me so much." I will never leave you and go My beloved! My beloved! lam yours and you are mine how does the world matter? Now I only want to give all the happiness in life MY dear! My dear! lam yours and you are mine how does the world matter? Now I only want to give all the happiness in life I will fulfil all the traditions of our marriage And will complete all the oaths taken I will also fulfil all the promises. I will never give you any sorrow now. Whatever you tell only matters to me. How does the world matter to us? "In times of happiness as well as sorrow, I will not leave you" "Now that I have caught your hand, I will never leave it." It is my good fortune that I have got you. God has made me just for you. You are in my heart as well as my life Now where will I be with you? Why should we take from the world now? "Teeth is already broken, now my hip will also break." Here is your material. Give me my money now. "Here, take this Rs. 2 lakhs. -Shall I write it in the book." "Write that, due to fire in the godown, 2 lakhs were lost." But Totaramji- Now you will tell me there was fire in the fields... "...last money, & before that pumps burnt & all." But this month also only fire! "Pandu, my husband slogs day & night & you all don't care." How much loss has come to us? -You are slapping our Pandu. "Ask him, how there was fire in your fields, well & godown." "But for the last two years, there has been no fire in the village" "I am not telling this, but these account books state that" "it says that clue to fire, lakhs of money have been lost" Who writes the accounts? -Accountant! Tell what my stars tell for me this week-Bad time starts now "Accountant, what is written in this account book." Read what is written quickly "Due to fire in the godown, there is a loss of 2 | akhs." Your glasses need to be changed. 2 lakhs profit is written here... "...and you are telling that there is a loss, fool." "Uncle, don't try to be clever, my educated wife told me everything." "You won't tell me like this. Pandu, where is my stick." Take this gun. Real bullets are there inside. "Now tell me, who has stolen the money by wrong accounting." "Sir, I did'nt steal anything. Totharamji did this." "Leave me-Don't try to run away, uncle, or I will shoot you." "I am your only uncle- Now tell me, where is the stolen money." "What is all this?- Save me, lam getting big punishment for..." "...my small mistake-Mother, I had given all responsibility of..." maccounting to your brother. But he has stolen lakhs from us "I have reformed myself, please forgive me." "Leave it son & forgive him. -Please forgive me- Ok, mother" What are you speaking? It was forgivable if he had only... ...cheated you but he cheated your goddess like mother. "How can we forgive him? -Mother, you are very innocent" "So, they are cheating you, we should'nt forgive people like him" "Tell uncle, where is the money? Or I will shoot you." Snake! Snake! -I won't let you take the bed "I can't let you take the bed, as snake is inside it-What is this?" A snake is inside this bedding -He is thinking a rope to be... ...a snake-If you don't find snake send me to mental hospital today "Let the mad man speak -Pandu, bring the bed outside" "Raju, I agree there is a snake, but it is brought up by me for..." ...the last fifteen years -Get up uncle You don't believe me and insulted my snake god. I can't stay here lam going with my snake god to some far off place. Come Wait-Pandu!-Leave your bed or I will shoot you. "I never thought you can do such low behaviour," Your punishment is you will one among the other servants. "Yes, I will work in fields, but my wife is also a part..." "...of this cheating. She should also work- Yes, she will do." I have kept all the money in this box- Give this to mother. "Wait! Do you have any sense, you are putting mother's life..." ...in danger by giving this money. -But how? "You are very innocent. If some day, cheat uncle puts stone on "...mother's head and runs away with the money, then." "You are right!- Father, give this to Suru- To me!" "Yes, you only take care of this! -Ok, as you wish." I will take this risk for you . I can do anything for mother. "Congratulations, have to appreciate your game." I have learnt from you only "Remember, | am the old master in this game & noone can beat me" Till now you were playing with weaklings & so won the game. You have no idea about the danger of game you're playing "Without danger, there is no fun in playing. And one does'nt..." ...get the chance to play with a master like you every day. Fond of playing! I challenge you that you will only come & give... ...these two lakhs to me before 12 o clock tomorrow. "Whose telegram, daughter? - Ramesh has been expelled from..." ...the college. But how is he a doctor now? "What are you doing, don't leave the house and listen to me?" "Never, my dad is not a beggar like you. If I go there,..." ...he will do anything for my husband. It is a matter of prestige of this house. I beg to you. "Mother, what is this? - I will tell you. My husband is a doctor" "For establishing a hospital in town, I asked for Rs. 6 | akhs..." ...from your mother. You know what she said. She says it is your money and can't be given to anyone. All property belongs to my brother. I am only a step brother What are you saying? Mother must have just told something. "Tell me, how much money you want for making a hospital." "Six lakh rupees- Suru, bring the money I gave you yesterday." "Brother, I will return your money with interest after hospital runs." Are you mad to differentiate between us? "Whatever is here, belongs to all of us." Give this to Ramesh-I want to take this from mother's hands. "That is also very good. -Brother, what is the time?" "Two seconds left for 12' O'clock. -Give me, daughter-in-law" If we open a hospital in the village itself in mother's name... ...respect for her will increase a lot.- What great idea? "Hospital in mother's name. Yes, that will only be done." "Villagers, we are laying the foundation for a hospital today." This good work will be started by the auspicious hands of my msacred mother-in-law. This hospital will be named for her This another garland is for my brother-in-law whose... ...great hands will be treating you all. He has studied hard for five years & has become a doctor... ...after getting many degrees and has come to treat you. I don't like this garland... -This is the first garland Lots of garlands are waiting for you - What do you mean? "Means, this garland is a sign of your victory." See how she is garlanding him. When I went to the temple... ...they were putting one on a goat before sacrificing it. I feel that there is something wrong. He is also being cut... "Now hospital is not yet made, inspector has come for treatment" I have come for seeing the medical degrees of your brother. I will satisfy myself & then go -You are doubting my brother! There is no point in making this issue bigger. You tell Ramesh... ...to show his certificates and then the inspector will leave. "You are right, Suru. Ramesh, show him your certificates." "Inspector, please come. Don't make this big, take some money" "Inspector, is my brother is a culprit, that U catched his collar" "Your brother deserves only this treatment, as he is a liar..." ...and was trying to give me a bribe. He is not a doctor at all. How can this be? He got a box full of degrees when he came. They were not degrees but waste paper which are got for Rs. 2- My brother deceived us so much. He broke my mother's dream. I arrest him for the crime of acting as a doctor. "Don't do that, my mother can't show her face to anyone." I request you not to arrest him for my mother's sake. "Today I warn him and leave him. But next time, I won't spare him" "Many thanks, Inspector." "Useless cheat, you deceived my mother to such an extent." The whole village is laughing at her and spitting on her. You kept deceiving her always that you are becoming a doctor "Raju!- Leave it mother,if U also beat Ramesh, he can't bear it. " "Leave my hand-No mother, leave your anger and forgive Ramesh" "From today, I should see you working in the fields." Now you go from here. "Son, what do I do with the money you gave to Ramesh." "Give them to Suru -Daughter, there is a lot..." ...of fun in the game of chess. Opposite team is losing a lot. Yes Babuji "How much will you make us work, it is evening now." "Why did you bring me here, I was better off in town." lam remembering my mother -I remember my father. "Food is ready, all of you come -Food is written in our fate." "What about our food? -That was not yours, this is yours!" "This chapathi & green chilli, we can't eat this." "Don't eat then, I will give this to Tommy- Tommy!" This dog is more fortunate than you. Now you will get food... ...only tomorrow afternoon -That is after 24 hours. Let us snatch food from the dog. Now they have lost the king and the minister. Only the queen is left now. -If she comes to our hands... "Pandu, where has he gone." "Leave me- We will not leave you easily queen, got you after..." "...great difficulty. Catch her -Suru, why are you catching..." "...my mother- Raju!- How is this blood coming, Mother?" You should not speak much at this condition. I will tell you "When Mother was coming down the steps, she fell suddenly..." ...out of giddiness. This happens to people with high B.P. "This comes to people who have too much fat.-No, son." My friend's mother also had the same disease. Lack of proper... "...care made her vomit blood, and she had a terrible death." "Tell good things, Suru. Mother, you take rest, your life is..." ...very important to me. I will go and get the doctor. "You think, we have not called the doctor. There he has come." "Doctor, please tell what has happened to my mother." "She is the patient.- My God, lot of problems!" You make arrangements for her funeral.-What do you mean? She does not need medicines but needs prayer. How can you say that without testing her?-I will test her "He is my uncle. Doctor, see what is wrong with my mother" Time is very short for her Catch this How he has made my condition? The voltage of her brain is 440 volts. That means she uses her... ...brain a bit too much. - ls there a treatment! Give her a juice made from neem leaves- Yes "No Raju, I can't drink this, it is very bitter. -Drink for my sake" "Doctor, now my mother will live -To try is my duty." Now I have to give her this injection-But this is very big. "Yes, its effect is also great. I gave it to a horse." "She came first in the race. -No, I won't take the injection." "Hold her tight- Mother, take the injection." I have done what I could. She needs rest from today. Full control of diet and full bed rest. "But doctor, she is only managing the house and the business" She has to open and close thousands of keys in a day. Who will take so many responsibilities? What is this daughter-in-law for?- I am educated. "l can't do these small works. - If I give you one slap,..." ...all your pride will go. You have to take the keys. "But -Mother, give the keys -She can't handle it, son" "l will see, how she can't -Take these keys." You have the full responsibility of the house.- No To take the burden from mother- in-law's shoulders is the... ...duty of the daughter-in-law. Take the keys. "l will accept, if you say so. -Now the keys are also gone" Sum, what happened to you. Who has put a buck eye on our... "...family. Doctor, see her... -What are you doing?" "I know what has happened to me-You are laughing, tell me!" You are going to become a father!- I am becoming a father "Yes- Mother, you are going to become a grandmother." "Father, I am gong to become a father. Pandu! - Yes master" He has gone to the fields. I will go and tell him if you tell me. Tell him to run and inform my father-in-law that his... ...son-in-law has done a great job. "What has happened to her, doctor." Effect of the injection. Will become ok after 2 hrs. What happened? - The motor and fuel pump are not working "Then how will the work get over.-Pandu, we will ourselves..." ...go to the city and hire the tractors. "Champa, go and tell in the house that we will come tomorrow" "Ok sister, we will leave, as we are getting late." I got all the things for all of you. And this Kesar for Saru. "What is that for?-If this is drunk with milk, then the child..." ...will born fair & healthy. Tell her to have this with milk daily "After a long time, we have got pure ghee sweets." "Wait patiently, brother- If Saru comes, we won't get this to eat" "First listen to me. Ramesh take this key, and take out the..." "...poison from the shelf. - Maina, why is she asking for poison." Do you want all of us to eat poison and die. You asked me about my last play. This is it. "I don't understand. -All limits are crossed. In this house, "...either she will live, or me. -Yes, when you have put..." "...your foot forward, don't back out. Our life lies in her death." "Take this, mother. " Wants to fight with me. She does'nt know I am a snake... ...who can eat her own child. Then how will I leave you... ...and your child. Sam doesint have a mother. So we have to take care oi her. Her father came and gave this kesar. Give this to her. What will happen with this? -Child will be born fair and... ...healthy- Then I will definitely give it to her. What are you doing in this condition. Get down. Why have you put such a big photo of mine? "Secret, first take me into your arms." "it is said, whoever a pregnant woman sees a lot during her..." "mpregnancy period, her child's face also will be like that." "That is why, I have put your photo there." So that your face always stays in front of me. And a small Raju is born after some days. Then you put your photo there -Why "First a girl will be born -No, a boy will be born" lam telling you a girl will be born "This kesar was given by your father. He told that, if this..." "...is taken with milk, child will be fair, beautiful and healthy." "Before the milk gets cold, drink it quickly." "Wait, let me mix more Kesar in this, so the child is more fair" "This kesar is for one month, will you finish it in a day." "If it is over, more will come. You have it quickly." Give it with your hands. "lam drinking milk from your hands, I will pray & come." Why did you stop me from having milk? Poison is mixed in that Kesar sister.- Poison I saw Raju's mother mixing poison with my own eyes. No that is not possible -I take oath on my husband "ls your prayer over or not Saru! Come soon, milk is getting cold." "Take this-Why this, Saru -I would prefer to die at..." "...your hands, instead of drinking the poison given by others." "Cut me-The Kesar you mixed in the milk, had poison in it." What nonsense. That kesar was given by your father. "My father gave only kesar, but your mother mixed poison in it." "Don't say like that, your tongue will get cut." I am ready to get completely cut as I knew you won't believe me. Don't put such a big Name on my mother, Sam "Before my mother becomes a murderer, sky will tremble..." ...moon & stars will move away & earth will move from its place "You are lying, Suru-if I am lying, my child will die inside me" "If your belief is definite, my belief is also strong." Now it has to be proved whether there is poison in this milk or... ...not. No need to trouble mother I will prove it by drinking it. What have you done? I have become the reason of your death "If I had known you will drink the milk, I would have drunk it." What do I do? Let us go to the doctor now. Come Leave me. You go to doctor if you want. I will stay here only. Nothing will happen to me. -Where do I go now? "You snake, tell that there is poison in the milk." "Otherwise my Raju will not live. Murderer, don't stand quiet." Don't dare to tell anything bad about my mother. I'll kill you "l will go and call the doctor -See, she doubts you mother." Let her call the doctor. She will also realize the truth now. You have given me more love than your own son. And she is trying to provoke me against such a mother. She calls you a murderer and says U mixed poison in the milk "She cloes'nt know, poison can become milk by mother's love" "My father only gave kesar, but your mother mixed poison in that" "Mother, the first word coming out of a baby's mouth is Ma." "When he becomes big, he says a lot of things." "But I have only said "Mother" "in my my life" "If you had just told me that, you want all my property..." put your thumb impression here, I would have cut my "...thumb & given you. For you, I can cut my head & give you." "Then why did you do all this, why mother?" "Fulfil the last wish of your son, mother." Ladies are'nt allowed in the graveyard. But you should come "Before my body burns, call me son with a true heart" "I don't need anything else, mother. " "Come quickly, doctor!" We have locked your husband in this room. Good you brought the doctor. He is in his last stage. "And we have the key. To open that, you have do a small..." ...work. You have to sign in the will "Rogues, lifelong you squeezed my Raju and were eating him." Now you want to take advantage of his death also. "You want only property, tell we where I have to sign." You will not sign in these papers. "Open the door, daughter. -Have you gone mad, mother?" Leave me. Even bad people have morality. They are scared of god. We have been wicked enough to take away Ram's (e who has... "...prayed not God, a demoness like me throughout his life." "Today if we save him, our sins might be washed away." "He might forgive us. But if he dies, it will be death of a..." ...mother and the sacredness of motherhood. "And I will be the murderer, that is the mother." "Sister, what is sudden affection of love. We have waited to..." "...grab this property for 15 years, will we leave it like this." Think of your own son. -Kaikeyi sent Ram only to the... "...forest for 14 years, but will I give death to Ram for Bharat." "Ramesh, if you have little love for your mother, give the key." "First give me the will, then I will give the key." "Give me the will papers, otherwise I will..." You talk like this with your mother. "Well done, son, you returned your mother's milk very nicely." "Not your mistake, but this is the punishment of the God which..." ...has come as a slap on my face. You have proved that... ...only a wicked son like you can be born to a demoness like me. "Not a son like my Raju. Even if you take my life, I won't..." "...give these papers to you. -If you don't give it, I will..." ...have to use other means for taking it from you. "She has gone mad, snatch the papers from him." "Give me the papers, mother! -Raju, my son." "Snatch the papers, immediately." "Raj", my son!" Mother! "Father, I am leaving this house and going." I know that the duty of the son is to take care of his parents... ...in their old age. But that was not there in my destiny. "So, I have transferred all the property in mother's name." "Take care of my mother Let us go, Saraswati." "What are you doing, mother?" "I know I am a sinner, you give me any punishment." But don't leave me and go. I don't need any of this property. "I only need my son, my son Raju!" The days of happiness have come. "Whatever I wished for, I have got." "Today my mother has called me as "son" Mother! Oh my mother! |
