Welcome to Prem Niwas!
Lallu Prasad wishes
all of you a good day.
The match is about to begin and
l will provide running commentary.
The sky is absolutely clear...
there are a few clouds.
The umpire is inspecting the pitch.
The bats man is ready.
Fielders be alert.
Here comes the bowler who
bowls faster than the wind.
lll hit a sixer on
the very first ball!
Sixer! Sixer!
Hail Lallu Prasad!
Hey Lallu! You always
get out at the first ball!
l know but thats only
to give the bowler a chance...
- What?
- lts your batting.
- No, l will play.
- You?
Last time you batted,
you broke a leg. Applause.
- This time Prem will teach me.
- l...?
First field properly
at the boundary.
- You always send me to field.
- Fielding for him for years.
- What?
- Youll field and hell bat.
- And youll bowl.
- Kapil Dev, save my name.
Beware. Here comes Lallus googly!
Catch the ball!
lm dead!
- Dont say that.
- Broke my back!
What are you doing here?
She came to learn cricket.
What a game this is!
A pain in the neck!
- Kids will play. - Shut up!
- Bless me aunt.
How often have l told you
not to address me as aunt?
What a pain! ln this house, pets
servants, everyone is pampered!
- l am dead!
- Why is she in a hurry?
She has come to talk to your uncle.
Brought a proposal for your brother.
Rajesh is praise worthy no doubt.
The world agrees. lts no easy
task maintaining this business.
- What do you say?
- Absolutely.
Now think of his marriage.
- Tell us if you find a girl.
- lve already done that.
- You have met my elder brother?
Ritas father? - Yes.
lm referring to Ritas
elder sister, Sweety.
She stayed with them while
Rita always stayed with me.
Shes a very pretty,
docile and intelligent girl.
Yes, she failed in B.A.
Shes very modern and has broken
off a couple of engagements.
So what? Look at their
house and life style.
They have a business of lakhs.
The marriage will be held in style!
Shell bring a lot of dowry.
Youll never understand
matters of the world!
After all youre just a professor!
lll inform my brother if you agree.
lts time for our kitty party.
Lets go, fast!
- We are going.
- Thanks.
- What? - Nothing.
- Good day.
Come on! Always hogging!
She is blinded by wealth.
Well bring a sweet, simple girl
not her brothers rich daughter.
Who will adorn this house
with her love and affection.
This house that you have
nurtured with such love.
The kids were so little when your
sister and her husband passed away.
You left your college studies
incomplete to bring them up.
Started with a small job. Your aim
in life was to struggle for them.
You never got married.
Youve brought the boys up well.
That is why Rajesh is respected.
This year Prem topped M.B.A.
l have seen a girl for Rajesh.
A couple of days ago l had
gone to Pune for a conference.
l met Professor Choudhary there.
- Siddharth Choudhary?
- Do you know him?
We were in college together.
We were also good friends.
l met his elder daughter there.
Saw her once and she won my heart.
l liked her so much that
l brought her picture along.
Her name is Pooja.
She has just cleared B.A.
- Theyll make a good pair.
- l agree.
Right now the family has gone
to Ramtekri on a pilgrimage.
Well go there soon as they return.
The boy and girl only
have to see each other.
Thats the only problem. Whenever
we discuss marriage he puts it off.
How do we get them to meet?
There is one way.
Why dont we go to Ramtekri?
Well select the girl as well
as go on the pilgrimage!
- Excellent idea!
- But brother mustnt hear of this.
- He has arrived.
- Go on uncle!
Youve returned? Quite late?
What did the foreign
collaborators say?
Everything was discussed in detail.
Now they will peruse our reports.
lf everything goes as per plans, as
you said itll be one of its kind.
Heard? To launch you in business,
hes putting up such a huge factory.
Dinner is served.
Wow! Sweet, savory, pudding,
fried pancakes! Anything special?
- Actually,...
- We are very happy today.
- Happy? - Weve decided to
go to Ramtekri during the holidays.
But uncle you wanted
to go to a hill station?
This place is very holy.
My brother and his wife
go there regularly every year.
So the program is fixed.
Take your new silk shirt along.
- Whatever for?
- Anything could happen.
- What did he say?
- l didnt hear.
You carry on brother.
Well replenish the dishes.
Funny! Nobodys saying anything.
What can we tell you?
What well be getting.
Why we are happy.
Hurry up Papa. lf Mummy sees you
experimenting here, shell be mad.
So let her! Am l scared of her?
Once she sees what lve rustled
she will break her fast.
- What is it?
- Not me, Mummy.
Furiously he said, Janak!
- Sita restless and people scared...
- Who broke the jar?
Who broke the jar?
When Ramchandra broke
Lord Sivas bow...
Enraged Parsuram asked
who had broken it.
With humility and love
Lord Ram answered...
Oh Lord and Master of the universe
Thy humble servant did the deed.
Have some shame. We have two
young daughters. Whatll they think?
Did l say something wrong beloved?
lts beyond both of us
to win against you.
lf anybody can win
against you its..
Good morning uncle!
Naughty brat! Always
enters like a storm!
Papa has sent back the
library books and thanked you.
Your bill.
Here it is. Give me the books
so that l can leave.
That is fine.
Nisha, will you do me a favor?
Will you check this bill
while l return from the stores?
Thanks but no mischief.
Now come on! Staring away!
ls this Ramnarain Lodge?
Didnt read the board outside?
Lost my calculation.
- What is it? - Can you tell me
which room Professor Choudhary has?
- Why?
- Because...
lts private.
- Understood. - What?
- Stand up.
- Why?
- Stand up!
- You dont study all year round.
- What? - Oh yes!
Loaf around all year and then cone
during exams to increase your marks!
lncrease the power of your spectacles!
Just because youre the manager
God knows what you think of yourself!
Good Lord!
lm here, sister.
Youre sitting here!
And Mummy has been waiting for you.
- What are you doing here?
- l was...
- Come in.
- lll have the luggage kept.
You were asking for
Professor Choudhary.
These are his daughters,
Pooja and Nisha.
This is Mr. Kailashnath,
your Papas friend.
- Good day.
- Good day.
- He wants to meet professor.
- Please come.
Here you are. Total all done.
Done? Well done.
Heres your reward.
Manager, check the total again.
They say pretty girls

- What did you say?
- You eat chocolates?
Dont take my name!
Excellent professor!
What delicious savories!
Have them with sour chutney.
Youll forget the best savories.
My younger nephew, Prem.
Your uncle lost a bet to me.
- What? - He had said only ld

See who has come.
- Hello. Recognize me?
- How are you?
How would he be? Hes amongst the
top industrialists in the country!
Really, when l read about you in
the newspapers l feel very proud.
lts fine. Son, you probably
dont know the history about us.
We were together in college
and used to have a ball.
Bring it and keep it here.
Youve met my children.
Do you come here every year?
No. lve come for a special purpose.
ld like your elder daughter
for my elder nephew Rajesh.
Yes, if you dont mind...
What are you saying?
He is your nephew.
He has come with us.
Why dont you meet him once?
- Go and call him.
- Meaning...?
Yes, go!
Thanks.
l should thank you.
God has given me everything.
The love of these children.
A sprawling business.
But the house is lonely.
Rajesh remembers his mother.
But Prem has been deprived
of a mothers love.
Come in brother.
Meet Professor and his wife.
- Hello. - Good day.
- Have a seat son.
What hobbies do you have
other than work?
He paints very well, isnt it?

- Are you still angry with me?
Dont take my name!

Even he knows that elder brothers

And nothing will be lacking

urgently required in the hall.
Doctor is here.

- Excellent!
Let me begin.
l am floored seeing her picture.
My soul glows at my
friends good luck!
Did you see that?

Dont ask.
Thats a funny addiction.
Why do you read poems?
The poems here with you

What did you say?
Wait, you rascal! The little
boy talks big these days!
Come here. Shall we get you

Why ask for a good deed?

Now its your turn to find a bride.
Somebody is calling me.
Whenever l want to talk to you,

But l know how to win your heart.
How to make pudding.

a professor in a college.

have discussed dowry!
Like my husband he too
would have only taught!
- No money at all.
- Dont say that.
- They have ancestral property.
- Still they are his friends.
He will take whatever they will give.
lf my Sweety would come, youd get
tired putting the dowry away!
Rajesh is worth lakhs!
The pudding is worth lakhs!

- Shall l spill the beans? - No.
- Why not? You always spilled ours!
This happened when we
used to study together.
Kailashnath, me and my wife.
Even today she has a wonderful smile.
But in those days everyone
was crazy for one look from her.
- lll be back.
- Where are you going?
So where everyone was her fan,
your uncle too was included.
- Uncle you?
- No!
Dont lie!
For the love of this shyness,
sing something for that smile.
Explain to your father-in-law.
One minute. Listen.
On my behalf request him.
lt will carry more weight.
Great!
l think my sister will starve here.
- Why?
- Because he pecks at his food.

what will you do for the wedding?
That youll know

Dont feel shy. Come.
You may sit there.

They have hidden the grooms shoes
in a red and yellow sweet box.
Why are we stealing the shoes?
- Stealing is a sin.
- This is auspicious.
Well get money for stealing them.
A red and yellow sweet box.
Now watch the fun.
Weve found such a place to hide
the shoes that nobody will guess it!
Shut the box. We have
enough enemies here.
See she is coming here.

Be alert. lll be back soon.
Will you make friends with us?
This is Muniya and this is Gudiya.
Come on.
Quickly hide it there.
Believe me. l dont know
any Suman or her Dad.
l fell in love with her? When?
ln my previous birth?
Tell me what do you think
of Nisha for this birth.
Hung up?
Girls are so possessive.
What are you doing here?
Waiting for you to finish talking.
- You called me?
- Yes,...me?
Yes, you called me.
Calls and then denies it.
Dead meat!
Thank God! l was scared.
lll check it.
- They are sweets.
- What crap!
The shoes turned to sweets!
Only sweets look nice
in a sweet box.
These girls made fools out of us!
- Gave up so soon?
- Me and accept defeat?
l will be back. Dont lose hope.
Dear good Lord!
You are truly great.
You perform the greatest miracles.
Do something whereby we win the
game and they look like fools.
Do something Lord!
lt will open up!
Want to embarrass me before everyone?
l think he wants to take us someplace.
Maybe he knows where the shoes are.
Lord you are great!
Come on!
Here are the shoes!
Now hide this box in its place.
Now listen hide the shoes in such
a place that they can never find it!
Absolutely not!
Okay lets fix it at 5OO.
Absolutely not!
Well return his shoes only
when we get 1OO1 bucks, right?
You wont get such an opportunity
again. Demand what you want.
Keep sitting with no shoes!
Youre sitting with the kids?
Come on, its getting late.
Late? Absolutely not.
Say with me. 1OO1 bucks...
Now lll have to get up.
- Are you getting married?
- No child, l...
Then quietly sit down.
They are very sharp.
- Where is the tiger?
- l am here.
You are funny! lnstead of
helping us youre eating a papaya!
- Say something.
- First you fix the deal.
Then well speak, right?
- What do you say?
- Look, kids...
- Absolutely not!
- You might as well pay them.
Just a minute uncle.
Tell them to give the shoes
and then take the money.
Fair enough. Give with one
hand and take with the other.
Fine. Well get the shoes.
A beautiful gift for
a beautiful girl.
Who has taken the shoes?
lf lve made any mistakes...
Forgive me.
Live long and may your
husband live forever.
- Come dear.
- Come in.
You come here. Where are you off to?
Youre responsible for this!
Saw what they gave as dowry?
They gave just too much!
A diamond necklace, imported car.
- Did you take it?
- No, actually what happened...
When we weighed all these things
they were not an iota of the bride.
So we left it behind.
And were you just
watching? Whats this?
l have to give something
when she touches my feet.
You give her this book! Had my
Sweety come, ld give a gold chain!
This belonged to Rajesh mom
Now you must keep it.
Thats enough.
This is for you.
lm giving you the Ramayana.
Sita resides in it.
The doctor gives a ring
studded with precious stones.
l bless both of you to
always remain together thus.
- Terrific! - This is for you.
- But uncle... - Shut up!
Why are you looking at him?
Forgot when youd take 25 paise
from me while going to school?
Has he become very wealthy
because he has grown up?
Dont scold him
in front of his wife.
lll scold him in front
of his children too!
This is for you.
Distribute the rest.
Come here. This is Lallu.
My son. Take this.
No, youve given me so much respect
such a nice sister-in-law.
l want nothing else.
Take it from Pooja. You said
she resembles your sister-in-law.
Think it is she giving it to you.
And what do l get?
- Give the little guy something.
- He gets a duty.
A sister-in-law loves her
brother-in-law the most.
So keep in mind that she should
never miss her parental home.
Understood.
lll give her every happiness.
Whats happening?
She is educating me.
- Should l write it with a J or G?
- With a Z.
- Fooling me!
- Who studies on Sundays?
- l do.

You have to play.
Youll have to bowl.
- Me and bowl?
- lts my prestige at stake.
lts easy. Just do this and this.
Applause for a new member.
Our new player walks
towards the pitch.
The best sister-in-law of lndia.
All eyes are on our newest player
who has clean bowled the opposition!
Now its your turn.
Our new player walks on.
- Shall we?
- Please.
The match takes an exciting twist.
Our established player has
decided to take revenge.
The new player has settled on
the crease with confidence.
And there goes the ball!
lt flies into the sky,
crosses the boundary and...
- Come in.
- Everything done.
lve even told the confectioner
that our grandchild is on its way.
Everything should be ready
in time for the function.
Youve taught him English
and made him an Englishman!
What does a monkey know
of the taste of ginger!
- What?
- Ginger tea.
Excellent!
The tea is brewed well, isnt it?
- But why are you laughing so hard?
- Do some work.
Lets call up and ask when your
parents will come for the function.
Who is it?
- lts you. Yes?
- Your sister wants to talk to you.
Talk to Mummy.
Live long dear. lt looks as if

So you were counting the stars

lt is said that pretty girls look
even more pretty when they lie.
Son, youve come?
How are you and wheres uncle?
Piping hot cutlets with grams.
Have a bite.
- Did you make it?
- Yes, its your aunts favorite.
Gravy with butter
equals to wife being happy.
Shes not talking to me for 2 days.
- Why? - The first child of our
daughter and were not going.
lll take you in style
when the child is born.
Taste this. Hold her hand.
Shall l ask a question?
Why have you given me flowers?
Because weve only fought
whenever weve met.
What could be better
than flowers to make up?
Why did you apologize to me
after the wedding ceremony?
Creating an impression.
Youll laugh if
l tell you the truth.
l wont. Please tell me.
We were taking the bride home.
You were sending your sister away.
l thought of giving you a
gift when we were leaving.
Saw that Tuffy?
Nobody values a genuine man!
lm not laughing at you.
Sometimes we misjudge people.
You are not at all like l thought
you were in the first meeting.
- How am l?
- lll think when lm free.
Theres a surprise
for you at the back.
Take a look.
- For you. - May l ask whats the
occasion. Flowers and chocolates?
Anything special?
For the first time a girl is

People say this day comes

Now it has come my way.

and youre reading a comic!
Reading not allowed
while travelling!
We must laugh and talk. What Tuffy?
And since l heard you sing on the
terrace, lm a fan of your voice.

- And a letter for you.
For me? Great!

We were happy to meet Prem.

l dont understand English.
But whatever you said sounded sweet!
Dushyant found his Shakuntala.
But where is mine?
- Moments of wait seem eternal.
- Terrific!
My eyes are laid out on
the path of my beloved.
Fantastic! This poem fits you well.
The heart says appreciate
the beauty of your beloved.
Who has brought this angel
down from the heavens?
- Fantastic!
- Hello uncle.
Recite the poem you
just said once again.
Whats the matter little guy?
Today you sound very poetic.
- You never appreciated me earlier
- He never understood your poems then
The moments of wait seem eternal.
My eyes are laid out on
the path of my beloved
The heart says appreciate
the beauty of your beloved.
Who has brought this angel
down from the heavens?
- Excellent!
- Terrific!
Will you guys remain here only?
We were leaving. Come on.
Your tea and snacks are
laid out in the lawn.
We have to begin the function.
Come on girls.
May we accompany you?
Uncle is this ladies
program really good?
- Yes.
- How do you know?
We used to hide and watch it
when we were small.
We used to wear ladies
clothes and join the crowd!
But you kids are decent!
Our elders are very naughty.
We would never do that, right?
Shall we go?
Now begin your program.
Aunt...
Hello.
Why are you sitting here?
Dearest aunt, we want to watch.

Hes a real gentleman!
Wait. What is it?
What are you doing?
Come what may, now

Where are you going?

Whats the point if

Now lm a fan of your dance too.
Didnt you feel offended
we made fun of you?
Nothing you do offends me.
Why? What has happened?
Whatever you say and do...
l like everything.
Then why did you hit
me with a catapult?
Next time think twice
before hitting another girl.
Who has the time to
think about others?
l can only be impudent with you.
What do l mean to you?
Shall l tell you?
Son, its exam time.
One, two.
ls anybody watching?
- What were you saying?
- Nothing my mother! l...
- Wheres uncle?
- ln the study. Why?
Come, lll tell you.
A fax has just come from abroad.
Our collaborators loved our scheme!

Theyve called me for final talks.
Plan out my trip.

- Yes.
Your wife is packing some eats.
- Whats all this?

Youll have to take
this overcoat too.
You wont come to the
airport so late in the night.
Once Tuffy and l fix
a program, it is fixed.
lt will be an outing for me son.
lm waiting in the car.
lts time for the flight.
See you.
Whats the matter?
Your wife will deliver anytime now.
At this time she needs
you more than anyone else.
And at such a moment
you have to leave her alone
And go abroad because of me.
So this bothers you. Come with me.
See what your brother-in-law says.
Whats the matter?
- Whats wrong?
- Says delivery is at any time.
And at such a time l have
to go abroad because of him.
We all have dreams for you.
That you progress in life.
Make a name for yourself.
Your brother is going to
give shape to this dream.
As for me, with you around,
do l need to worry about anything?
A sister-in-law's best
friend is her brother-in-law.
Lets go brother.
The food cooked by you was delicious!
Wonderful! Both sisters are alike.
Good in everything. Be happy.
Rajesh left quite some time back.
Any news of his return?
l spoke to him this morning.
The work is almost done.
Thats great. lve given him a list.
Youre funny! Hes working and
youve given him a list of nail paint!
So what? Hes my dear nephew.
- You shower him with love.
- What? - Nothing.
l understand everything that
you keep mumbling to yourself!
Okay. Bye. Come home!
You saved me or your aunt
would have begun world war lll.
lll make a move. Good night.
You too must rest. lts quite late.
Prem will be on his way back.
Hell be late. Since Rajesh left,
hes looking after the office.
He might be late.
Take her to her room.
Call up Prem and find out
when hes coming home.
Who is it?
- Yes? - Your sister-in-law
asks when youll be home.
lll be late. Tell her to rest.
Ask Lallu to cook my meal.
As for you..
That was my mother.
No jokes when we work.

- Since ages.
- Shall l lay dinner?
- Yes, lm famished.
ln a minute.

You havent slept?
Dinner.
From where do l begin?
You take so long to decide on
vegetables. How do you work?
Start from here.
Your favorite sweet.
How do you know l love it?
Piping hot parathas.
So you told her about the sweet?
l have to be honest if
somebody asks your choice.
- She cooked dinner today.
- You did?
Eat it and see. lm sleepy.
You have magic in your hands.
This is the best pudding
lve eaten. No jokes, honest.
You must be thinking hes mad.
Loves your singing.
Your dancing and now even cooking!
You didnt answer my question.
Why did you stay up for me?
Do you know your bad quality?
You talk too much when you eat.
You have another weakness.
You listen to people very easily.
You are really funny.
When l want to ask you something,
you hold me back.
And when l keep quiet, you prod me.
Now may l ask you something?
What do l mean to you?
Somebody is coming.
- Brother.
- Whats the matter?
Call doctor aunt. We may have
to take her to the hospital.
Congratulations its a boy!
Uncle, now lm an uncle!
Congratulations!
This is the model of Prems factory.
You began this work from a room.
Rajesh expanded it to this form.
And Prem will take it to the skies.
Work hard. We wont be there
the inauguration of your factory.
- Where are you going?
- Back home.
Were booked by the evening train.
Are you leaving today?
We were waiting for Rajesh

Do something. Hold them back.
Whats this l hear?
Professor is leaving?
- That too today!
- Today?
Brother, listen.

No, their tickets are reserved.
They can be cancelled.

You wait here.
Come in doctor.
All set to leave?
We really enjoyed our stay together.
Show me the ticket.
Cancel them.
You are strange! Your son-in-law

Now even if you get annoyed,

Spend some time with Rajesh too.
Please stay back.
- Please.

- Please stay back.
- Okay.
This luggage should be...!!
One minute. Well stay back
on one condition.
Nobody will sleep tonight.
Well have a wild party!
You just watch what

The night is beautiful.
lts a party of friends.
Stop these poems and get
in the mood of games.
How long will we sit here?
Tell us what to do.
A very easy game.
Bhola will play music.
And well pass this cushion around.
When the music stops...
Whoever is holding the
cushion is caught.
Well punish him as we deem fit.
Dearest aunt of mine,
where are you slinking away?
You have to begin the game.
lm wont get caught. lll sit
there and see theres no cheating.
And lll look after him.
What style!
My father had a gramophone.
- Do you remember that song?
- Yes.
Should l begin?
Lallu got caught!
- But...
- Stand up.
lll go to fill water.
- What do l do master?
- Youve learnt English.
- Say something.
- One minute.
Applause!
Brother got caught!
- What do we make him do?
- l wont do anything.
- What?
- No way.
Okay lll say something
in your honor.
Whether she be fair or dark...
Fortunate is the man
who has a sister-in-law.
- Then? - The man with a
sister-in-law gets double joy.
Keeps an eye on the sister-in-law
while he talks to his wife!
- Are you listening?
- Yes.
Says the poet Rajesh,
nectar is the cup of joy.
But a sister-in-law is half a wife!
- What is this?
- Hes caught but he didnt take it.
- How convenient!
- Are you watching, judge?
What secret is this?
Shy of your son-in-law?
Hes like your own son.
Please let us hear.
Shes there.
So what did Anarkali say
to Prince Saleem?
My prince, the sun illuminates
every corner of this universe.
Then why did the sun
take the trouble?
Dont enter my dreams through
my eyes prince! l will die!
Now its time to do something.
One, two.
Pass me the chair and bottle.
Brother move aside.
What are you doing?
lf l am out, let me do it in style!
Drunken scene. Aunt!
- Aunt!
- You are great Dharam!
Villagers!
Villagers, this Basanti...

lm ready my Pop! Come down.
Villagers, my Basanti
and aunt are ready.
So... and so..
Suicide cancel!
What can l do after him?
- Youll get a punch!
- Do whatever you wish.
Even if the world is our enemy.
Let our friendship be immortal.
We wont be separated
even after we die friend.
Swear by this friendship.
lf somebody asks our address,
we say we live in each others hearts.
We have no other address.
May our friendship be immortal.
Looks like it is my turn.
The pressure mounts.
How silly! Your heart is tough
lt cant fail so easily.
Recite some hot stuff.
- Hot stuff?
- Another poets work.
What punishment could be
more beautiful for a poet?
That was great!
Now only Prem and Nisha remain.
Lets see who wins.
- Thank you very much!
- You won little guy!
- He cheated!
- What did l do?
What do l have to do?
So what are you getting her to do?
Make her say some dialogues.
Let her sing some song.
Why copy? Let her
sing something original.
Sing something nice.
l have one complaint.
You stayed here for so long
but didnt come home one day.
- You never called them.
- You be quiet.
- You dont invite close ones.
- We promise to come next time.
Shall we leave? lts almost time.
- Cant see Kailashnath.
- One minute.
Let us send you off properly.
But our gift?
The heart is so crazy.
lt expects much more than it gets.
We held you back for one day.
Now l wish we could do it again.
Brother do one job for me.
Get a picture of us taken with Nisha.
Well remember how she lovingly
stayed with us for so many days.
One for me too master.
- Me too.
- l too will get one taken.
Get the camera son.
Going?
Now theres no excuse
for me to hold you back.
Shall l ask you something?
Will you answer honestly?
Why did you hold me back yesterday?
- l wanted to say something.
- What?
Once the factory is inaugurated,
lll talk about our marriage.
What are you watching brothers?
Prem is a big boss today. Salute him
Well done.
Are you going home tomorrow?
Yes, my parents miss the baby.
- lll go with her.
- No, l will.
- No, lll go!
- Well both go.
- Theres a telegram for you.
- For me?
Read what it says.
Your sister-in-law is unwell.
You are called immediately.
- But...
- Prepare to leave.
Youll get the morning bus.
lll help you pack.
Whom are you giving this money to?
lt will help in the treatment.
l know these servants well.
This sickness is an excuse,
a scheme to grab money!
Such telegrams are sold
a dime a dozen!
Neither will the money return nor...
lt was my job to alert you.
But you may do as
you please. Servants!
l swear and tell you that
this telegram is not false.
l have been falsely accused.
Because l am a small man.
When did you become small?
- You call me sister-in-law,
dont you? - Yes.
Then keep this.
l am scared. lf something
happens in the village..?
Nothing will happen. Come with me.
l am confident nothing
will happen to her.
go.
When your sister-in-law gets well..
First of all tell her,
youve found Chameli for yourself.
So youre off?
Why dont you come along?
lll come to take you.
Come on.
Let me drink tea first.
- Uncle its getting late.
- Give baby to me once.
Lallu left yesterday
and youre leaving today.
What will l do?
That is why l say,
now that the factory has begun...
Get me a co-sister.
Well said!
What times!
From today its your job
to find him a bride.
Whats the matter? lm going
home but youre chirping?
Has the weather turned magical
because we talked of your marriage?
Now some serious talk.
Uncle has put your reins in my hand.
Would sir prefer a love
or an arranged marriage?
Love marriage which
you must arrange.
Heard that son? Your uncle
is two steps ahead of your Dad.
Hes already found you an aunt.
He approves of her. He has
seen her photo, right son?
Show me too.
Why photo? lll show you her face.
You mean your beloved
is on our way?
Our destination has arrived.
- But where is yours?
- Our destinations are the same.
Not here. Come in.
Sit down.
Think its your own house.
- Whats all this?
- First read this.
Mummy Papa have gone out.
They will return by evening.
Have something to eat.
Got it! Meaning you and your
madam fixed this plan earlier.
What romance!
- Call up your brother.
- Why?
Let me give him the good news.
- Where are your feet?
- Call up.
- ls brother in?
- No.
Hes out on urgent work.
- Leave a message.
- Tell him to call here fast.
Now get up.
And place this necklace
around Nishas neck.
How can l do that? Your shy
sister is not coming down.
lf she wont come down,
let us go up to her.
Were the grooms side.
Well take the bridal procession!
Must be your brother.
Hold the baby Nisha.
Sister-in-law!
Shes saying something.
Fast!
Do something!
Whats the matter?
Eat it. The one who fed you
will never return now.
She was heartless.
Showered us with love for
sometime and departed.
Eat my child.
- Have courage.
- God knows what magic this girl had.
Without her, weve
forgotten how to live!
Stop.
How are you? Here.
A miracle took place.
The doctors had given up hope.
Sister-in-law could not recover.
But l was sure nothing
would happen to her.
Pooja had prayed for her.
And thats what happened!
She opened her eyes and smiled.
l told her this is the miracle
of the one who always blesses me.
lll go and tell
Pooja the good news.
That hand is no more on our heads.
Elder brother, what happened?
Master!
She sacrificed
herself for our tears.
She gave my sister-in-law the
gift of life in her blessings!
Ask God why He calls
good people to Himself?
Why? Ask Him!
She was a goddess of affection.
She had a bounty of love within.
Even the Lord needs love.
He too needs love!
The baby had a right over
that love that you talk of!
Now what happens to him?
What will happen to the baby?
Answer me.
Put him to bed in the crib.
- Has he slept?
- Trying to.
He thinks his aunt is his mother.
lf we are missing Pooja so much...
What must Rajesh be going through?
Rajesh is not well.
He may not say anything
but we all can see it.
He is being eaten up by worries.
And the reason is
the babys upbringing.
But what is the solution?
There is one way.
We must get him married again.
The strange thing about
life is that it never halts.
The breath stops but not life.
A mother is essential for a baby.
Very important. l feel, find
a chance and talk to him about it.
Drop me to the dispensary.
lll send medicines for Rajesh.
He is absolutely right.
Son, you neednt worry
about your babys future.
Listen to me and get married again.
You are still young.
And youll get good proposals.
Why go far? Sweety is willing.
Had he married her then,
we wouldnt see this day!
- Wife!
- You be quiet.
lve even talked to Sweety.
She has only one condition.
- A maid looks after the baby.
- What?
Ayah looks after him?
l beg you dont give baby to a
woman who doesnt know motherhood.
- Dont interfere!
- He is right.
Your choice doesnt possess
the quality of being a mother.
To accept anothers child,
one has to know ones culture!
- Listen..!
- He is right.
What right! He is only
abusing my niece!
Who would like to
rear anothers kid?
Under these circumstances who
will give him their daughter?
l ask you will you give your
daughter Nisha to Rajesh?
Stop it! Thats the limit!
Dont lecture me!
Whats wrong in Sweetys condition?
Such a big racket for one infant!
- Children grow up on their own.
- Wife!
lts probably because of this
nature of yours we dont have kids.
No uncle. l cant bring
a step mother for baby.
All stepmothers are not bad.
No, l wont remarry.
Come in Professor.
Rajesh refuses to get married.
He is also right.
How can we give away our
heart to a stranger?
Poojas memories are
enough for baby and me.
Thats true for all of us. But
some day you have to get married.
Today we all are here to look
after him, his grandfather...
But we wont always be around.
You need support at
every stage of life.
And then bringing up a
child is a big responsibility.
A mother can come for baby...
Who will come but snatch him away.
For him such a mother will come...
Who will be his own.
What if Nisha comes here
in place of Pooja?
Nisha always talks about this place.
And the baby is always with her.
Prepare yourself.
lf anyone can take Poojas place...
lt is her sister.
- Accept it brother.
- The baby will get a mother.
How is it possible?
l thought it right and spoke to
Kailashnath about Nishas match.
lf Nisha goes there as a bride
and Poojas house settles again...
What could be better than that?
Let me ask Pooja once.
lf she accepts...
Well get her married grandly.
There should be nothing lacking from
our side because she is no more.
What do you want dear?
Whatever you deem fit.
lll call up Kailashnath.
Nisha has accepted. lll call the
priest and fix the wedding soon.
Good day. Welcome.
- All ready?
- Cards too are printed.
We were on our way to Ramtekri.
Thought wed see the baby.
- Hes with Nisha. Get him.
- ln a moment.
- How is Nisha?
- Fine. Getting her hands hennaed.
Aunt has called the baby down.
Shall we take him?
Yes. Carefully.
See whats in my hand.
Your wedding card.
Read it out.
By the grace of God,
our daughter Nisha...
...is to wed Rajesh.
What are you reading? Red properly.
By the grace of God our
daughter Nisha is to wed Rajesh.
Please come with your family
to bless the couple.
- Give it to me.
- Whats wrong?
Uncle...
You have obliged us greatly
by agreeing to marry Rajesh.
Youve given the gift of
life to both of them.
A new life. See.
- What happened?
- She was fine.
- Open your eyes.
- Call a doctor.
She is absolutely fine.
lve given her an injection.
Shell be fine in no time.
- But suddenly...?
- Must be tired due to the wedding.
Dont worry. lll take leave.
Well also make a move.
Come to me baby.
l wanted to meet Nisha once.
- Go up.
- l dont want to disturb her.
Give this to her.
The step that you
have taken for baby...
lm grateful to you for it.
Everybody is very happy
with this decision.
But l know every girl has
some dreams, some desires.
lf there is any hesitation
in your mind, do tell me.
Nothing matters more
than your happiness.
Who?
Give me your grandchild.
Come to uncle.
Come in son.
Lord! The Lord with the flute.
What game are you playing?
Prem has bound me by oath.
Made me helpless.
But you are not helpless.
Lord perform some miracle...
That people start
believing in you again.
And they have faith in you.
Sister had adorned our love
for each other with this necklace.
She wanted her co-sister
to wear it. l am returning it.
Give this to Prem.
Come here Rajesh.
Sister had adorned our
love with this necklace.
She wanted her co-sister to
wear it. lm returning it.
What is this?
Saw that Pooja?
What these two set out to do?
What would l answer you
if this step had been taken?
Whats wrong Rajesh?
Why did you come upstairs?
Read this and tell me if it is fair.
This beloved son of yours who always
asked me every little thing...
...hid such a big thing
in his heart!
Hid it behind his smile.
Made me an outsider today!
No, what you did was wrong!
After Pooja passed away,
l had only one desire.
The baby should not miss his mother.
l ask you, if you had accepted
the baby as an aunt...
Would your love have been reduced?
Answer me.
Silly girl! You were out to
ruin your life and happiness.
Son, you should be proud of them.
They did what they
thought was their duty.
Now lll do my duty.
Poojas incomplete dream.
Actually its my fault.
l couldnt understand.
What you tried to
tell me before departing.
l have a request.
Give Nishas hand to Prem.
