1
Every human being desires to have a house of his own. A place which is like heaven! Even Rajesh Saxena has a similar house. And this house is called Shanti Nivas. But... - I will thrash you more! - Please forgive me! - Kaka? - Son, you eat your breakfast. - But Kaka that man... - I will hit you more. - Please don't! - I will not spare you! - Save me! - Nobody will save you. He is being paid for his deeds, you eat your breakfast. He will die, you go and pacify Shalu. - Please forgive me! - Nobody will forgive you! I cannot pacify her, you go and do it yourself. - Who me? Never! - Help! - What is the matter? - I am dead! You aren't dead yet! You have burnt my blouse, I will kill you! - Help me! - Stop it, Shalu! - What do you mean? Look, he burnt my blouse. - We'll get a new one. - Yes, get a new one. - Who will get it? - Master will get it! - But you ruined this one! - I can use it for dusting. Stop it! I told you we will get a new one. - Where will I get one better than this'? - On footpath, for 'I O rupees! You stupid fool! lnspite of being beaten up, you talk so much? - Come on, get lost! - See his atrocity, brother. - Now forget your anger! - I will get more blouses for my dear sister! - But brother... - Don't say further, eat your breakfast now. - I am not hungry. - How can you go to college without eating anything? - Atleast drink milk. - For your brother's sake. Okay, but only milk. Now eat one toast, you listen to him but not to me! - Hurry up! - This is emotional blackmail. Hurry up, you are getting late for college. - What time is the show? - 12.30 p.m. - It means we will have to bunk. Its the last day of the film, we can attend the college later. - What is the time'? - 'I O o'clock. - Oh God, we are dead now! - Why, what happened? - Don't you know what happens here at 'IO o'clock. Oh yes, it is the time for the witch's arrival! Are you deaf? - Can't you hear? - I can hear as well as see, madam. I think your eyesight is weak. Now can you see properly? If you wear such dark glasses, how can you see? - Peace! See the way he is ordering me? - He... - Yes. What will you do? - Arun, please calm down. - You can drive now. - Only if he moves from front! What if he gets hit and dies? - I will set you right! - Alright, do it! - What she did was not right. - She actually intended killing you. - She cannot harm me. - If I was in your place, I would have whacked her. What nonsense! You have been bashed up by Shalu many times. - Have you ever whacked her back? - I don't raise my hands on women! - And he was giving me sermons now! - I was just kidding! The bell has rung, lets go! - Are you very fond of drawing? - No, drawing is not my subject. I did not ask you whether drawing was your subject or not. All I want to know is what have you tried to draw on the board? Whoever has tried it out, has made a good attempt. You play such a dirty trick and to top it you mock at me? There is a limit to everything and everyone should know to abide to it. And it would be nice if you also be within your limits. - The same applies to you or else I will... - Don't threaten me. Because your empty threats will not work on me. I haven't made this picture nor do I have the time for such useless things! There is one problem but I will solve it myself. What is the matter? - The principal has called you. - Okay, sir. Now the fun begins! Can I come in, sir? - There is a complaint against you. - Against me? - Shalini has complained. - Sir, she has no other work besides that. I wonder why she always picks up a fight with me. - But she says the same about you. - She is lying! I stay away from her. Arun, it would be better if you avoid these fights. - Okay, sir. - Anyway, I called you because, like always... ...you will represent our college in the inter college competition. I hope that like always, this time too, you will get the first prize. And the first prize goes to Miss Seema. I request her to step on the stage and receive her prize. - Please come. - This is your prize. - Very good! - Brother! - Can I know why is this prize been given? - Hey, where are you going? - Son, this was just the rehearsal. - And very soon, she will even get a real award. - That too a gold cup! - And madam will have milk in it. - You always speak rubbish! Those cups are not meant for milk, it is meant for decoration. Don't keep it in the kitchen, if it is lost you'll say I have stolen it. Whatever I say, I only get to hear this! - Don't go and sleep again. - Why is the function taking place? Don't you know, Shalu has started writing very good songs. - Really? - And she has another name also... ...what is it called? - Pen name. - Yes, that is it! That's nice! I am glad that we have a poet in our family. Someone thought of scent of the flowers and the rippling of the streams. Or else nobody in this family could think beyond sand, cement and iron! Now we will tell Uncle Verma and publish your songs. But only on the condition that you will sing for me first. - No. - Why are you ashamed of your brother? Come on, sing for him. - Come on, sing. - Okay, only if you will shut your eyes. - Do it! - Alright, I will close my eyes. Now sing. It is a mistake to confess your love, not to fall in love. Very good! But is this the way to recite poetry? - You make me nervous. - I make you nervous? And what if you have to recite poetry in a gathering? - I'll recite it very nicely there. - How? It is a mistake to confess your love, not to fall in love. You may be rich, but at least tell me. ls it my fault that I am poor? - Excellent! - Very good! What is this, my friend? I am tired of hearing this poetry of yours since the past two hours. And then this applause! Good! The poetry is excellent. It deserves to be applauded. My jaw is aching with all this applauding! Why don't you do one thing? Go to meet Miss Seema. Tell her that you are her biggest fan on earth. You keep reciting, I'll keep applauding. - Don't worry, I'll do that someday too. - When? When I die of listening to her poetry and your applause? I'll get to meet her before you die. Okay, now go to sleep. Hey, mad woman! Help! Someone please help me! My car has met with an accident. Someone please help me! - Help! - Nothing has happened to you. Now come out. What do you mean, nothing? This happened because of your screams. Now what are you'll waiting for? Come and help me. We help only those who deserve it. - And you keep fighting with him. - So what? - But how will I go to college now? - By taxi, or go walking. You mean fellow! Can't you even help a girl? - Hey, what happened? - Accident. - But how? - All this happened because of that idiot. - Who? That Mr. Great of yours. - Who, Arun? - Who else? - But how was he responsible for the accident? - He's jinxed. As soon as I saw him I met with an accident. I'm standing right here. Why are you honking? - Give me my money madam. - Money? My purse is in the car. How much? - Twelve rupees. - You were blowing the horn so loudly for only Rs. 12. - Here. - I don't have change. - So what do I do? - I don't have change. - Have I asked for change? - I have to return your money. - Did I ask him for it? - Please brother... - ls he your brother? - No. But he does not have change. - When did I ask for money? - Sometimes you behave like you are crazy. - He'll make me mad. - Who? - Mr. Great himself! Hey, what are you doing here in this heat? - Searching for you. - For me? - ls everything okay? - Have you forgotten? - What? - What day is it today? - Today is Wednesday. - Date? - Twelfth. - Time? - Around 1 a.m. What is the problem? lam very busy. If you were busy, why did you promise to take me to lunch? Thank God you remember now. Since when I'm phoning you in office. They told me that the boss is at the site. I was so busy that I forgot. Change your habits Rajesh. Let's go, I'm hungry. - We'll go for shopping later. - Go with Shalu, Anu. I'll join you'll in some time. Try to understand Anu. The architect is going to come. And what about me? I came here looking for you. I'm telling you since so many days. Today again you don't have time for your fiancee. Go with Shalu. I'll join you'll in some time. Shalu is not home. She's gone to college. - There's some function today. - Function? Greetings from Shashi Kumar to every one present here. Firstly, I would like to present some artists in front of you. With me, all the college students have arrived here. They'll present their items before you. So now, Vijay Kumar from D.M. College. The artist who is coming before you now... ...is Lalita from Pitambar college. Yes, and now comes Kishor Anand from our own college. Yes friends. Now I'm presenting the artist... ...who does require need any introduction. The young and handsome Arun Kumar from our own college. - Let's go. - But why? - Let's go. - Please sit. Friends, this award actually belongs to the writer of this song. I wouldn't have received this award if this song wasn't so beautiful. Hence, I want Miss Shalu to get this award. You don't know my real name. Say that Miss Seema should get the award. I mean Miss Seems should get it. Because I've written the song under the pen name of Seema. The song sounds good only when the lyrics are good. Songs with bad lyrics can never sound nice. Your intelligent. Who are you talking to? You're all alone. Where were you till now, brother? I was so eager to give you some good news. - What good news? - There was a competition in our college today. All colleges participated. There were excellent performances. - And you know what? - What? - Only my song received the prize. - Where's the prize? - Arun took it away. - What? - Yes, he sang my song. And he sang it so well that everybody was speechless. - But who is Arun? - Arun? He studies in my college and we're in the same class. - Did you congratulate him? - Congratulate? Congratulations, you sang very well. - Congrats! - You sang very well. - Thank you. - You made the college proud again. - He's my follower, right boss? You call him a follower and boss in the same breath? - Why are you so confused? - Congratulations Arun. - Hey Arun. - Yes? - The troublemaker is arriving. Congratulations! You have proved that you are truly great. Enough! Don't praise so much. Won't I praise someone who deserves it? Hey Shalu. Will you just sit there or congratulate him? Stay away! You can congratulate him from afar. She'll ruin our happiness if she comes too close. It is not good to joke all the time. Come. - Why are you calling her? - She wants to congratulate you. Don't ridicule her. Why are you quiet? Say something. You are an excellent singer. Thank you. Since when have you started appreciating talent? I mean, since when do you know anything about music? Good taste is needed to appreciate music. And you don't have such musical taste. That was mean of you Arun. She was so eager to congratulate you. She got flowers for you, and you broke her heart? - What, she had got flowers? - Move. Good she didn't get a bouquet or she would've placed a time bomb in it. - I'm not that bad. - Who says you're bad? Then why does he always taunt me? Did you see how he insulted me today? - In front of everybody. - He is not bad at heart I'm only bad at heart Everybody else is nice. Everything is my fault. I insulted him. I picked a fight with him. - Try to understand Shaka. - Understand what Roma? I took flowers for him on your suggestion. I congratulated him. Did you see the result? What does he think of himself? He has become so vain since he's received the award. He wouldn't have won if he hadn't sung the song written by me. He sings my song and then acts smart with me. He got the award because of my song, right? Yes. If I had given my servant this song to sing, even he would've won. Mental cases are revived with electric shocks. Do you want me to die, you fool? I was singing about my father-in-law, not you. He's also a mean old man like you. The postman has come. - Letter for Murli. - My Lajjds letter. - Letter for you. - Give me Rs. 'I to give to the policeman. Lajjo sends unstamped letter to you and I pay the fine. Fool. - Cut it from my wages. - From you're wages? You take the wages in advance and send them to your village... ...and then beg from me. - Consider it as help. If one country can take help from another... ...a producer can take help from a financier... ...then can't I take your help? - But I don't have money. - Then sit outside a temple. - Why? - You fool! - One rupee. - One rupee? I'll do one thing. I'll write a letter and leave it unstamped. Then add them and take Rs.2 from Lajvanti's father in our village. Okay. What?! Dear Lajjo. May God bless you. Am I writing a letter or giving her blessings? I'm not enjoying here. Yes, I'll go there and write. My dear little... not little. It's a childish word. My Lajjo, here I am... such a useless letter? My darling ...no not this. My darling, give me a kiss. You'll ask what darling means. In this city girls are called darling by their lovers. And they keep asking them for kisses. In our village this can never happen. My dream lover, I haven't heard your sweet voice since many years. Here I only get to hear Miss Shaw's scoldings. I didn't know that girls in the city are so rude and snobbish. Hey, shoes?! I had heard that shoes are worn on the feet. How did these feet come here? Have I entered the shoe closet? I was only writing a letter. You fool, you spoiled my diary. I was writing a letter to my wife. Help! My diary! Idiot, you spoiled my diary. Oh God! Did you see God, what Shalu did to this devotee of yours? If I go to my village like this, the dogs will also chase me away. What was my fault? Just that I used some paper and ink of hers? Such a big punishment for replying to my Lajjds letter? What did this girl gain by keeping apart two lovers? Now you have pity on me, God. Please fulfill my wish. May Shalu fall into unrequited love. I'll watch and enjoy then. - Are you staring at Arun? - You've become crazy. You keep thinking about him and now you are accusing me. It is not wrong to think about a brother. - Since when is he your brother? - Since you fell in love with him. - Stop it! Let's go. - Okay. Look, he's sitting alone. Today tell him what you feel about him. That you love him a lot. You won't get a better chance. Go Sham, be brave. Hey Arun, here you are. I've got five tickets for the cinema. - But the exam is... - Forget that. This movie has that famous song. It's a love story, you'll have to come. Shut this book. - What were you thinking about? - Nothing. - Don't lie. You've changed a lot Shalu. - Of course not. - My eyes and nose are also in their places. - Don't avoid the subject. You are not the same Shalu that the entire college was afraid of. - Isn't anybody afraid now? - No, now you've become so quiet. You are always lost in your thoughts and keep sighing aloud. Have you really fallen in love with Arun? Look, don't talk nonsense. I'm not in love. - And you... forget it. - Hey, listen! Nothing can be done about this girl now. - You should get a position. - I'll try my best, sir. What do you mean, you'll try? You should definitely get it. - How are you're tuitions going? - Fine, but only with your help. What help? I admire you're courage and devotion. You are studying, and giving tuitions too. Very good. Someone else wants to take tuitions from you. A student from the second year of Arts. Vikas. I know his father very well. I'll never forget the favours you do for me. - Don't call it a favour. - Really sir... When I meet you, lforget that I'm an orphan. It is okay to get emotional, but getting carried away... . . .weakens a person. And I want you to be very strong, not weak. - You've started again? - I was just saying good morning. He's going on there, and you here. - When will you'll study? - Forget about studies. - Professor's coming. - He's still not stopped. - Hey battery, come here and sit. - I've warned you so many times. - He will never mend his ways. - Will you? - Hey, that rich girl is looking at you. - Shut up now! - Hey, look at her at least once. - You look ahead. Hey Shalu, what happened to you? - Maybe love. - What? - You always said... ...that I've changed, I'm always silent and sad... ...and keep thinking about something, right? You were right. If my being restless, silent and moody means that I'm in love... ...then I've really fallen in love with Arun. I had already guessed that. But why did you let everybody know? You made such a big deal out of it. You got yourself insulted in college. You've made a laughing stock of yourself. Now what if your brother hears about this? - How am I related to you? - You're my brother. - What do you refer to me as? - As a father. That's because I raised like a father. Like a mother I made sure that my difficulties did not affect you. I worked hard, went through a lot of troubles... ...but fulfilled your every wish. I made sure that you did not feel deprived of anything. - What did you lack Shalu? - Nothing. No! If that was the case then people wouldn't taunt me. They wouldn't laugh at me behind my back. They wouldn't say that, "There goes Rajesh Saxena..." "...who was always so proud of himself. "He always said... ...he would wed his sister to a prince. And today his sister had him degraded for an ordinary man. He's not ordinary. You don't know him. I just know that this is Rajesh Saxena's house... ...and is as holy as a temple. lam not an ordinary man... ...who can be insulted by every person who wants to. You'll will surely pass with good grades. - I'm sure we will, sir. - Sir again? We'll surely pass with good grades. We won't disappoint you. Shall we leave? - Are you Arun? - Yes, what is it? - Are these your students? - Looks like they trust you a lot. - That's their priority. I've heard a lot about you. You're a good student too. What do you plan to do after getting educated? - Get a job. - You're parents? - I don't have anybody. I'm an orphan. - Where's your house? - This hostel room is my house. - And after college gets over? - I'll think about that later. First I want to know something. You've asked me so many questions... ...but haven't introduced yourself yet. - I am Rajesh. - Rajesh? - Isn't it enough for an introduction? It is enough, but... I'm a businessman and am always on the look out for intelligent students. Now you'll want to know my aim. I want to help boys like you. What help? I have seen many educated boys wander aimlessly for a job. Nowadays recommendation works and you don't have one. But I'll never need a recommendation. Failure and disappointment will cow you down. You haven't ventured out into the society yet. So much kindness in the first meeting? You can test me. I never lose. I can face any difficulties. You won't remain lucky forever. lam giving you an offer. Work with me, I have a huge business. I'll give you partnership too. Nobody does any thing for some one without reason, Mr. Rajesh. Tell me what your ulterior motive is. If you're really a big businessman and are so sympathetic... ...then please help those young men... ...who are cowed down by failure and disappointment. - I'll be very happy. - Either you are over confident... ...or very foolish. - Or very stubborn? Now there's nothing to worry about. Your brother knows everything now. - Look Rama... - I'll do the shopping, you don't worry. - Make a list quickly. - You'll do the shopping for me? - Yes. - I know your choice very well. - Now you don't even like my choice? Okay Miss Shalini. Since you've liked Arun... ...you have started disliking everything else. One day you'll say that you don't like me too. Look Rama, don't make me mad. I'm not doing anything. You've already become mad. - I've become mad? - Yes, that's what people say. You've become mad since you've seen Arun. - I'm mad? - Yes. - I'll teach you a lesson now. Don't hit me Shalu, I'll get hurt. You don't understand. - Brother? - Okay, I'll leave. Hello brother. Hello Rama, how are you? I'm fine. Okay, I'll leave. - I've come and you're leaving, why? - No, actually, I... Let her go. A boy's family is coming to seek her alliance. Really? Then what are you doing here? - She's hiding here. - Hey, go home. Tell the driver to drop you home. - Yes? - I had gone to meet Arun today. He's a nice boy, but is very stubborn. Being stubborn either makes or breaks a man. Look, all my life I've taken are of my status standard. So, you'll have to wait till Arun becomes successful. Go, go and tell him that you love him. - Yes, but I'm scared. - Don't irritate me, go. - No, I'm feeling shy. - You go, or I'll go. No, wait. Look, both of us need not go, let's go away. Hey, go here, not there. Go. Okay, let me feel a little confident. - Okay I'll go. - Look... - I'll go slowly. Look, all my life I've taken care of my status and standard. Hence, you'll wait till Arun becomes successful. - Here, have your milk. - Why did you go to all that trouble? What trouble? I knew my sister must be studying early in the morning... ...so why not have tea together? - I passed... - And Arun stood first, right? - How did you know? - Even I read the news paper. I was more eager than you to find out this result. But the real exam begins now. Even passing is of no use. I should have worked somewhere instead. At least I would've earned something. - You're right. - At least throw some nice cards. - This always happens. - Hey Arun, what happened? The usual thing. No vacancy. Do you have a recommendation? The same old nonsense. But how long will this go on Arun? Since many days we're staying in this hostel with the principaFs help. Where will we go when the college begins? We'll go together, wherever we go. Why are you getting tensed? What do you mean, why am I getting tensed? Till the college canteen was working, we got food to eat. Since it has been closed, there's hardly anything to eat. We'll starve to death, try to understand. No one is going to starve. I've got some good news. - Did you get a job'? - No, there's an offer for a program. - Program? - Yes, a variety program is being held the day after tomorrow. They needed a singer, so I agreed. Hey, are you going to sing? Let me hear how you sing. - Not me, you fool. - Can l? - Shut up! - Arun will sing. - What, me? They'll pay you R3500. - RS.500? - But without asking me? - I'll ask you now. - Won't you sing, my dear? - No! - I have an interview on that day. - But your item is after the interval. The interview is in the morning and the item is in the evening. If you sing, we'll get some money for food. We'll starve if you don't sing! - Say yes, please. - Please say yes, you're very nice. 0K3! - Very good, Arun. And here is your... ...favourite magazine. It contains the songs by your Miss Seems too. Prepare yourself now. I really get bored. What do these books contain? It's all imaginary. Heavenly surroundings, a beautiful girl... ...and then a tall, dark and handsome man enters her life. They both start meeting and then comes an unknown obstacle. The girl sheds tears, turns against the man... ...and then suddenly some one comes as an angel... ...clears the misunderstanding and unites the hero and heroine. Here you are, come! Thank God you've come. She was getting bored alone. She was enjoying a story. Anyway, you united the hero and heroine. Where have they united? The heroine is still pining away for the hero. What do you mean? Haven't they met yet? - Keep quiet! - Why to keep quiet'? - We'll arrange a meeting. - But how? There is a show in the evening and Arun is going to sing there. I've already got the tickets too. Let's go. - But I cannot go. - Why? - Brother has forbidden me. - Don't worry about your brother. - I'll talk to him. -Yes. - But... - No buts, now go with Rama to the program. Go. My darling sister-in-law. - Rama. - Yes? - Did you hear Arun singing today? Not only did I hear, I saw him singing. - Did everybody like his song? - What do you think? I got an idea when I saw him singing today. - What? - What if Arun makes a career of singing? Wow! That's an excellent idea. But the problem is that where will he get the money for the programs? Who will arrange the program? I mean who will get the sponsors? - You'll find the sponsors. - Me?! - Yes, you. And I'll give the money. But on one condition. - What? - Both my brother and Arun should not know about this. - Shall we go? - Let's go. - Nowadays publicity has become so easy. - Yes. - Mr. Arun has come. - Hello. - Hello. - Hello. - Am I late? - No, you're exactly on time. - Please sit. - Shall we start? - Yes, sure. - Yes, Mr. Tripathi. - Big stars often reach late. But how do you always manage to be on time? All I can say is that it is clever to move with times. Or else you will be left behind in the race with time. - Tell me something Mr. Arun. - Yes? You have become highly successful in such a short span of time. - What is the secret behind this? - There is no big secret. My sincere efforts and well wishers like you... ...who appreciated my talent and made me famous in such a short period. - Mr. Arun. - Yes? - There is a saying. Behind every successful man lies a woman. ls there such a woman in your life too? Not yet. But when there is somebody, you'll be the first one to know. Tell me something. The songs you sing are as beautiful as your voice. Do you write these songs yourself? No, I only sing. My songs are written by a poetess named Seema. Oh! This means that some credit for your success goes to Miss Seema. - Sure. - But you had just said that... ...no woman is responsible for your success. - Yes. - But this means that there is a woman behind your success. Seema's song is on the fourth page, second column. Okay? - How can I help you sir? - It will be a favour, not help. - Favour? - A poetess named Seema writes poetry for your magazine. - Yes. - I want her address. I'm sorry, but she has forbidden us to give her address to anybody. But if you have a letter or a message, you can send to our office. We'll send it to her. Hello, Miss Seema. I tried a lot to meet you. But all my attempts failed, and my eagerness increased. I cannot repay you for your favours all my life. Still, I could have thanked you for them. I could have touched your feet and taken your blessings. No Arun, don't say that. You are always in my heart lam very eager to meet you and have tried to imagine you very often. Often I have drawn your pictures and then have tore them myself. Because my imagination is not as beautiful as yours. Just permit me to meet you once. Promise to meet me at least once. Rajesh dear, this is Arun's photo, right? - Yes. - Wow! He's become very famous. Look, his photos are getting printed in magazines too. What are you waiting for now? Why don't you go and talk to him? I'm not waiting for anything. I had gone to meet him. But he has gone out of town to meet his principal. I'll go to meet him as soon as he returns. But one thought terrifies me. - What? - When Shalu will go away... ...this house will become very lonely. She's the life of this house. - How will I live without her? - You're right. But every girl has to get married and this your duty. You have to send her off like a father. Why are you staring at me, dear singer? Are you angry with me? So why did you write and ask to meet me? Now you've become angry? That's not the matter. Even I am very anxious to meet you. But I'm helpless. Anyway, don't worry. We'll meet very soon, I promise. Along with the profit and loss, our prestige is also at stake Mr. Mohan. I cannot ruin the company and it's goodwill. The plan, area and material of this building... ...will not be changed. Understood? - Sir, phone for you. - Give. I'm Anu speaking. Come home fast. - Why, is everything okay? - Everything3 fine. You come home. - But what is the matter? - Today is Arun's show. - At what time? - At 6 o'clock. I've sent Rama for the tickets. - You come fast. - Very good, I'm coming. - I have to go Mr. Mohan. - But sir, the engineer is coming. - Call him later. - But all your appointments? - Cancel them. - What about the payments? - I've signed the cheques, you fill them. I'm taking my sister's proposal today. I have to go Mr. Mohan. You'll manage everything, please. - Okay sir, you go. I'll manage everything. - Okay. Hey Murali. Where has he gone? Lajjo will be waiting for me. I'll surely come. I'm living with your memories Lajjo. I'll write you a letter. I'll never forget you Lajjo. I wish I was with you Lajjo. But I'm helpless Lajjo. There's only one room... ...and at nights that mean old fellow sleeps with me. The where can I keep you Lajjo? Sometimes I imagine him as you in my sleep. - Has your bull come Lajjo? - You fool! You keep sleeping the entire day. - Go wash the utensils. - You are very hard hearted. What difference did it make if I spoke to Lajjo for two minutes? - This is why you didn't get married. - Go or else I'll slap you. Oh no, sir has come. I'll go now. - You've come? - Yes, is Shalu ready? - Yes, and she is very happy. Even I am very happy today. - I wanted to ask you something. - What is it? On meeting Arun... I mean... What do the girl's family say to the boy's family? I'm going to talk to Arun about Shaw's alliance... ...and am getting nervous. - What is there to get nervous about? When you meet the boy, you'll tell him that you're Shaw's brother. He'll understand himself. Anyway... ...you'll have to make the first move as you're from the girl's side. - You've come? - Yes, where's Shalu? She's coming. Will you'll just stare at each other or go for the program too? Yes Rajesh, hurry up or the show will begin. - Come Shaka. - Come Sham. Hello. Friends, all entertainment shows... ...always have a surprise in store. And the show that is connected to the producers of Tips Cassettes... ...will obviously have a musical surprise. Because the makers of Tips Company have always made the attempt... ...to present the best of the artists before you. We want you'll to hear and see all the stars from the world of music. But the star that we are going to meet tonight... ...does not need any introduction. He is a surprise inspite of not being a surprise. Because you'll know him very well and always want to stay near him. Because he is the very famous and popular star... ...your very own Arun Kumar. I know why Arun Kumar is getting late in arriving here. Arun Kumar has reached those heights today... ...had attained so much fame... ...that we listen to his songs all the time and on all occasions. The won't his happiness make us happy? Then listen carefully to what I'm going to announce now. Arun Kumar is no longer alone. Arun Kumar has got married. I want to hear an even louder applause. Which will force Arun Kumar to come on stage with his wife. There was no ground below my feet, nor was there the sky above my head. I was living in a different world. Why won't I sigh when in sorrow? There will always be smoke where there is a fire. Shall I switch on the light, son? No, I've begun to fear light now. Look, all this depends on destiny. Destiny has really won today. I've been fighting destiny all my life. I never let it defeat me. I made my own destiny. But I am defeated today. No don't say that. These are God's doings. Maybe it will prove better for all of us. I'm a dejected man. I had gone very proudly with my sister's proposal there. Did you see how circumstances defeated me? All my life I was proud of my standard and status... ...and thought that I could attain anything I wanted. And today fate has dealt me a big blow. I wish I had spoken to Arun about it on that day itself. I should have begged him to accept the proposal. I shouldn't have been so conceited. I had gone to ask for something without even being humble. And now I have been humbled by my pride. How can I face my sister empty handed? What will I say to Shalu? No, I cannot face her. I cannot console her. You cried out your sorrows before me. You lightened your heart But that poor girl hasn't said any thing. She's become completely quiet. Although her sorrow is much more than ours. I know her son. I have taken care of her since she was a child. Her silence is the indication of the arrival of a big storm. Comfort your sister before this storm threatens to over take her. - Are you crying brother? - Forgive me, my sister. I couldn't unite you with Arun. I couldn't get you married. lam already married. I've accepted him since the day I saw him. lam only fulfilling my commitment. Yes, it is true... ...none of the wedding rituals... ...were performed for me. This is the prayer room in our house. There are idols of many Gods here, but only this one photo. And the name written on this photo is as great as any God for me. This name is as divine as any God for me. This name has brought hope in my life. I have a request for you. When you pray to the other Gods... ...pray to this photo too. - Bow your head and take it's blessings. - Yes. We'll begin our new life with her blessings, Meena. It's impossible. There are shows in Calcutta on the 12, 13 & 14. From the 15 to 2O there are shows in Delhi. I'll try to adjust you but I can't promise anything. No. Okay, do one thing, call later. - Hello, sir. - Hello. - Oh, hello. - You've come so late. Hello sister-in-law. - Hello. - How was your trip? - Very nice. - Any letter from Miss Seema? - Neither any letter, nor any song. What is the matter? What are you thinking? I was writing a letter to Miss Seema. I don't know what to write. Give, today I'll write the letter. - You'll write the letter? - Yes, why? - Nothing. Here, write it. Our dear Miss Seema. Miss Seema is fine. Don't worry about her. How can I not worry? This has never happened before. She used to reply my letter, and send a song too. God forbid, is she ill? Mr. Arun, how can I convince you that Miss Seema is fine? - Maybe there's a financial problem. - No, she has no financial problem. Don't worry. Give us your letter, we'll send it to her. - You'll surely send this letter to her, right? - Yes. Can't I come with you too? You are embarrassing me Mr. Arun. I've often told you that Miss Seems has forbidden us to give her address. And then, you should just be concerned about your songs. Right, Mr. Arun? Come on Sham, hurry up and get dressed. - Why? - A few of my friends have come from America. We are all going for shopping, and will be going for dinner after that. - Come on. - No, I'm not in the mood. You are spoiling others' moods along with your own. Why are you bent on ruining your life? You are mistaken. Neither am I spoiling anybody's mood... ...nor am I ruining my life. - Look Shalu... ...be practical. You cannot spend your life in your dreams. Let go of the past. Forget about Arun. - Sister-in-law! - I'm right, Shalu. Arun is out of your reach. He belongs to someone else. You are not a part of his life. But he is a part of my life. Don't be foolish! There are many eligible bachelors in this city. Don't waste your time Shalu. You are wasting your time. Go, you'll get late for shopping. - There's a letter for you Miss Shalu. - Letter? You'll never change. Our dear Miss Seems, you must be surprised... ...to see whose written this letter and I am sorry about the fact... ...that I haven't written to you earlier. Why didn't I thank an angel like you earlier? lam Arun's wife, Meena. My happiness keeps reminding me of you and your blessings. We have tried to meet you many times... ...but we don't understand why you don't want to meet us. Please forgive us if we've made any mistakes. Don't be angry with us. Please answer our letter. Write songs for Arun to sing or our dreams will be shattered. We are committing a folly by sending a cheque for you. Don't think of it as a price for your songs and your favours. Accept it as a loving gift from us. Gratefully yours, Meena. Today your debt's been repaid. You have got the price for your songs. His wife has insulted your love by giving you this money. - No. - The truth is always harsh, Shalu. Arun has never loved you. No, that is not true. Arun loves me. He loves Seema, not you. He's always hated Shalu, and always will. - Enough! - Don't be foolish. There are many eligible bachelors in this city. Don't waste your time Shalu. You cannot live your life in your dreams. - Forget Arun! - She is right! He became well-known because of your songs. Your songs brought him fame. Take your revenge. Take away his fame. - Make him poor again! - Quiet! I love Arun. He belongs to me. See, this a blank cheque! Arun has written my name on it himself and has signed it. Can anybody ever do that? This is my most priced possession. I'll treasure this cheque all my life. I'll sacrifice my life for his happiness. Did you'll hear? Go away! I'll write songs for my Arun. I'll pray that he always prospers. That he always remains happy. Always! - You're very happy today? - Why won't I be happy? I'm going to become a father. Papa! - And you are going to become a mother. - Oh no! Okay, you'll become "Mummy". And we are going to get a baby daughter. Why a daughter? Why not a son? Because I want a daughter. - And I have already thought of a name for my daughter. - What is it? My daughter's name will be Seema. Isn't it a nice name? It's a very nice name. - Congratulations! - Congratulations to you too. - How did you find out? - But how did you find out? - I have a letter. - What letter? Miss Seema's letter, what else? She has written a letter after so long that I came to congratulate you. Oh? So this is the matter? I thought it is something else. See Meena? Our child is so lucky. - Where's the child? - We named our child and... - Congratulations! Yes. We named our child Seema... ...and we received a letter from Miss Seema. Shalu? Hey, what happened? Now stop it. You've had enough. Will drinking this reduce your tensions? - Has Shalu gone to sleep? - Yes, everything will be fine. - You don't worry. - Don't worry? But how can I not worry? I get terrified if something happens to her. This over indulgence of yours has spoilt her. You are responsible for her condition today. Me?! I am responsible for her condition? Yes Rajesh. If you keep her in this house always... ...what else can happen? Let her go out. Let her enjoy and begin a new life. - Even I want that. - Only wanting it cannot help. Take her out of this house Rajesh. But where? - Ooty? - Yes, Ooty. No, I have gone to Ooty many times. You'll go. That's the limit. We made the program for you... ...and you are refusing to go. Get up. - No, I don't want to go. - This is great! What is it? You'll are still sitting here? Get up, I'll have the luggage put into the car. - No, I don't want to go. - Hey, the program was made for you. Go for a few days, Ooty is a nice place. Come. Come on, hurry up. We're really going to enjoy. - Come. - Where? - Where else, to roam around. No, I don't feel like. You'll go. Don't get on my nerves. We made this program for you. - And she... - Please come Shalu. - Come, you'll like it. - I don't feel like, you'll go. Okay, nobody will go. Come on. Look Rama, don't be stubborn. Go for my sake. I'll come in the evening. Okay, let's go. Bye. - You? - You, here? - Since when've you started liking books? - It's just for a change. - But what brought you here? - My friend has organized a function here. I've come to sing there. I've made a career out of singing now. - What do you want in these books? - If there are any nice poems... ...I feel compelled to sing them. Now look, Miss Seema has written an amazing poem. Love makes one helpless. My heart is not at fault. Anyway, forget all this. What are you doing in the evening? - Nothing. - Would you like coming to watch my program? - Sure. - Then I'll come to take you at 7 p.m. In the evening. - Okay? - I'll be waiting for you. Mr. Arun has sent these flowers and this letter. Miss Shalini, I got a sudden call from home that my wife has fallen ill. Hence I couldn't come. I'm sorry. If possible we'll meet again. I hope you will forgive me, Arun. - What do you mean? - Yes Rajesh, you've never cared about me. We're engaged since two years and I may have to wait for many more years. I'd told you prior to our engagement... ...that till Shalu does not get married... ...I too cannot get married. - Then when will Shalu get married? Answer me. Do you have any answer for me? No. Shalu will not get married now... ...because the boy that she loved has married someone else. But your sister still thinks of him to be her husband. - She is immature. - But you are mature. You tell me, how long should I wait? - But she is ill. - No, she is in love, Rajesh. And she will get over it only after her death. I have become bad luck for this house after all. Don't destroy your happiness for my sake. Get married. Get sister-in-law home. Call the doctor, she has very high fever. I've given her an injection now. The fever will wear off by morning. But doctor, why is her fever recurring? She has taken some matter to heart - We're trying our best but... - Happiness is the best cure for her. And it is your duty to keep her happy. - Me? - Yes, we have given up now. Now you'll have to help us. Look Rama... ...I have never differentiated between you and Shalu. Today I beg of you... ...please save Shalu. Get her out of this trauma, I'll always be indebted to you. Don't embarrass me. I am as worried as you are. Shalu will become alright. lam fine. What has happened to me? Ask your self that question. Go and see your face in the mirror. I am perfectly fine. What's happened? - Come sit. - Why should I sit here? I don't even feel like coming in this house now. It's become as depressing as a graveyard. Earlier there was so much gaiety and laughter in this house. You kept this house alive with your laughter. You've changed so much. What has happened to you? Rama, haven't you heard what elders say? - What? - That girls should sober down after marriage. - What is going on? - Nothing! I am only eating. - Then eat. - It is bland. Let me have some pickle. - The doctor's forbidden you to eat it. - I can't eat this food. I too am eating it. But I don't find it bland. - Give me a little pickle. - No! - What is this? - What? How did this bottle of pickle come on the table. - This is only to see not to eat. - What do you mean? I mean the food doesn't taste so bland when she sees the pickle! It is a time tested remedy, sir. - Since the past 5 years, my wife... - Enough! Use this remedy in your house. And next time I don't want to see this bottle here. Forget the table it won't be seen in the house itself. I'll take it away. My wife is again pregnant. - Shall I take it, sir'? - Okay. Everyone except me can eat pickles. You are different from other, come on, open your mouth. - I am not hungry. - How will you feel hungry? You are all the time busy writing. First eat and then write. Only a little is left. You leave it here, I'll eat it. - Sure? - Yes. - Okay, but before it get cold. - Okay. lam keeping it here. - You have still not started eating? - I'll eat. - Did you serve Shalu? - Yes. - She'll eat now you too eat. - I am not hungry. You are hungry but you are mentally disturbed. If you don't eat well, who will take care of this house. Son, take care of yourself and eat you meals well. What is the matter? ls everything alright. Shalu is running high fever and her food is also lying untouched. But she assured me she'd eat. You should have seen to it that she eats. I'll call the doctor and as soon as she wakes up feed her something. - Doctor, I am Rajesh speaking? - What is the matter, Mr. Saxena. Shalu is running high fever. Why isn't the fever subsiding? I am trying my best. Anyway, don't worry. I will check her again. Meet me on your way to the office. You tricked me by not eating food last night. It became late and the food too had turned cold. So, I didn't feel like eating. You shou | d've called me. I would've re-warmed it for you. How could I call you? You were sleeping. I was sleeping not dead. Don't ever say that again! Okay but now eat your breakfast. - Only milk. - No. - But you have to take your medicine along too. - Later? - No! Take it in my presence. - Okay. - Will you please fetch my napkin? - Okay. - Did you take your medicines? - Yes. That's a nice child. Finish the entire milk. Don't leave anything behind. There are patches on her lungs. Please forgive me, Rajesh. Have faith in God. Everything will be fine. Forgive me, God. One day in a fit of anger I spoke ill... ...against Ms. Shalu and now that has come true. There couldn't be anybody worse than me. I cursed her. Please forgive me, Lord. Henceforth, I'll never speak bad about anyone. And I'll never ask anything for myself. But let Shalu recover, Oh God! We don't have blood to match her blood group, doctor. - Take my blood, doctor but save my sister. - Okay. Sister, check his blood group. You sit outside while we check your blood group. Suck every drop of blood from my body but save my sister. Everything will be fine. Let us check the blood group at least. Doctor, his blood is not matching with her blood. You might have made a mistake check it again. Mr. Saxena it is not necessary for everyone to have the same blood group. But she is my sister! ls it possible that my blood doesn't match with her blood? You are lying! Did you see, I can't even give my blood to my sister? I can't do anything for my sister. Anu, did you see my helplessness? You all be a witness to this. Rajesh Saxena, proprietor of Saxena industries... ...is so helpless. What is the use of my hard work and my wealth? lam so helpless! Rajesh Saxena owner of Saxena industries! I couldn't do anything for my sister. It is not necessary for everyone to have the same blood group. Brother, I am here. Please come! lam here, come and catch me. - Come! - Father, I am here. Please come. Please come. - What is the matter? - I want to tell you many things... ...but time is short I have a request. - Order me. - You always come to my office... ...with the same question and my reply too was the same. But at that time both of us were helpless. - But today... - What is the matter, Mr. Verma? Can you spare some time? I will be obliged to you. - I fail to comprehend. - I want you to meet Ms. Seema. You will do we a great favour by coming with me. In fact you will do me a favour! But since I'm going for the first time. I won't go empty handed. She is responsible for my success. My happiness and the peace of my house is due to her blessings. She had made me what I am today, Mr. Verma. But what shall I take for her? Her greatest gift will be your presence, Mr. Arun. - But Mr. Verma? - Time is running short - Here? - Yes, your poet stays here. - Are you deaf'? Can't you see'? - I can see and hear too. But I think you are short sighted. Can you see now? How can you see with your glasses on? Since when did you learn to understand music? One needs taste for music and your taste is not so melodious. If any song is left incomplete then forgive my sister. Either you are over confident or downright stupid. - You? - Yes. lam the brother of this sick and helpless girl. I think you failed to recognize her. She is Shalu. And Seema too! She is the one... ...who took you to the zenith of success! She is the one who bestowed fame on you. She weaved her pain into words to make your music come alive. And in return, she never asked for anything. Or maybe we were incapable of giving her anything. You play strange games! A player whose game never ceases to exist! Who plays his move so heartlessly... ...that people sing your praises not only when alive but after death too! Whatever you gave me, I bore it quietly. You snatched my parents from me but I bore that too silently! I always prayed to you thinking, I didn't know the right way to pray. And I was elated when I achieved all this name and fame. I was unaware that it's foundation was an a innocent girls corpse. A girl with whom I had no link, yet I was successful. Every halting breath of hers has a link with my success! ...and her death, with my prestige... ...and her every pain has a link with my happiness... And her every tears with my wealth! What is my fault for which she is paying... ...and I am bearing it? Stop playing this game! Because henceforth no one will light a lamp here. There will never be brightness here. Due to your obsessional love you are like a caged bird... ...knowing that this cage is not your home. lnspite of being hers, you never belonged to her! She's done a lot for you because she loved you! She arranged for sponsors and arranged shows. She publicized about you in news papers and magazine. And on the basis of her money she made you a star. She created circumstances wherein people started recognizing you. Your success was her sole aim. And one day, accompanied by her brother she came to you. Not to ask favours in exchange of her sacrifices. But to remain a slave to you. But, ill luck followed her. Her dreams were shattered but not her courage. She is doing all this thinking of you as her husband. She would never come in front of you. But today due to Mr. Verma, you know her. And that recognition has devastated her, Arun. Today Shalu has sent me to tell you... ...not to misunderstand her. And that she doesn't intend to ruin your marriage. Neither does she want anything from you. She only knows to give. During college too she loved you and even now she loves you. Because you are her God, her life and her love! Arun, she only knows to give, she has never learnt to ask. During college too Shalu loved you and she loves you even now. Because you are her life, her love and her God! - I can't do this. - Why don't you understand, Arun? You are not trying to understand. How can I sing under such circumstances, Shashi? It is better if you keep your personal and professional lives apart. How can I do something which is not possible? lam an artist and my voice reflects my feelings. And I can't lie to my reflection! When a heart breaks, the pain in shattering, Shashi. I can mask my face, but how can I hide my tears? An artist is capable of anything. You are a public figure. People want to see you in the image they have of you. People come to hear your song, not your tale of woe. This is selfishness and you want me to become selfish? - And forget her sacrifices. - I never said that. lam only trying to make you understand... ...that first, as you have a duty towards Shalu... ...you have a duty towards your fans too! Your popularity is due to your fans. They will be my fans till Ms. Seema's songs are with me. Don't put her on a pedestal. What have you done for her? Answer me! If you have an ounce of respect for her... ...then don't shatter her dreams. - What dream? The dream of your success which she had dreamt. Prominent figures from here and abroad will be present for this show. And it was Seema's dream that you be the most famous among them. How can I do it, Shashi? It is beyond my comprehension. Don't spoil your chances by canceling the show. Don't ruin her dreams. Look, I can understand your problem. But don't forget that wherever you may be... ...Seema will always be close to your voice and success. Thanks! Friends, I know your love surpasses these words. My voice is in debt of your love. I'm grateful to you! You have made me a star... ...but I have also considered you as my friend. Because I always thought of myself as one of you all. But last night, I saw my true self. And heard someone's sigh's amidst the sound of the claps. And for the first time, I felt someone's tears. I forget that at the height of the fame... ...we may shine like the stars... ...but we are not responsible for its brightness. The brightness is due to the sun, whom we never remember. My songs always wanted to applaud its writer. But I forget that in the absence of those songs... ...I wouldn't be here and perhaps, even you all wouldn't be here! Friends, I have a request to make... That tonight we must thank that great personality... ...whom we never remembered and always neglected. Friends, I have one more request to make. Tonight you will sing with me and if my voice quivers... ...you will encourage me. Do me one more favour. - Switch off the lights, Meena. - Why, are you afraid to face me? I will make it dim. So that at least your shadow is visible. I've seen you after many days. Besides, when a husband tries to avoid his wife... ...the wife realizes that her marriage is in jeopardy. The husband may prefer to be in the dark... ...yet the wife is able to perceive his every move. Whom are you running from, Arun? From me or yourself? ...or from your past or from the promise you gave my dying father... ...or from the fire, in front of which you married me... ...in order to repay your principaFs debt on you. You repaid your debt but now what about me? Strengthen your weak hands with the love of Shalu, Arun. Snatch away these fake symbols of marriage from me! Enough, Meena! Don't utter a word more. Why, aren't you able to bear the truth? It's you who won't be able to bear the truth, Meena. The side you are viewing is not the truth. Shalu is just a chapter from my past. Don't lie. I have heard your love story with my own ears. - That is not my love story. - Doesn't Shalu love you? She does love me but I don't love her. - Liar! - I swear on you that... - Lies! - I swear on my child that... Don't lie to such an extent, Arun. Don't swear falsely on the child who is yet unborn. - How can I make you believe me? - By swearing on your Ms. Seema. I swear on her that I never had a never loved Shalu. But I worship her and my day begins and ends with her name. Because Shalu and Seema are two face of the same person. - What? - Yes. The one whom we worshiped as God... ...is not God but a weak girl. We mistook the alms of a helpless woman as gratitude! The girl whose arrogance I always hated... ...by mistake, I put the same girl on a pedestal and worshiped her. I made a mistake but how could you doubt your husband, Meena? How could you think that I don't love you? Then why did that girl come here with Shaw's message? Because Shalu won't survive for very long. - What? - Yes, Meena, Shalu is on her death bed. Will you do me a favour, father? I can even give my life for you, sister. But, I am helpless. As though fate has rendered me helpless. Don't talk like that. You have given me everything. - Only, do me one favour. - What is it? Give my songs to Arun. And decorate my corpse like a married woman. Don't talk in this manner, Shalu. Don't cry. Will you bid me a tearful farewell? I have only one sorrow. Neither will my husband light my funeral pyre... ...nor will he put Vermilion on my forehead. Meena, you? Come! See, who's come with me? - Don't misunderstand me, Ivleena. - Don't say anything. - I have come to take you with me. - Where? - Now, it's time for me to go. - Shalu, you won't go anywhere. What is this you did? - Fill Shaw's parting with my blood. - What? Don't worry. Fill her parting. Meena, I am indebted to you. No Shalu, I have only done my duty. - I came to take you home, but... - Yes. To the home where you have more rights than me. That house is awaiting your arrival, Shalu. We shall both worship the sacred Tulsi together. We will fast together for our husband. Come Shalu, let's go to our husband's house. Don't disappoint me and break my heart, Shalu. It is too late now. Time is slipping by, Meena. - You can't blame the heart for it. - NO,S | 13 | U. Don't cry. Don't bid me a tearful farewell. lam very happy now! I have no more sorrows. Now I am a married woman. And my husband will light my funeral pyre. See, I have written such a beautiful song. Show it to me, my dear Seema. "If I live, it ought to be with you"... ...and if I die, it should be before you". This is very beautiful. Get it printed in Mr. Verma's press. I will surely get it printed! |
