Great! What a man!
He is not a man, he is a whirlwind
Come fast, very, very fast
Mr. Raja, who is this boy?
He is our most faithful dog
If I measure the faithfulness of all my dogs, he will win
Well done!
Well done, Shankar, you are great
Of course. He has a lion's heart
Who put it in his chest?
Who made him a man of steel?
Bloody fool! It's Raja Saheb!
Raja Saheb, Raja Saheb, disaster has struck!
The men have stopped working in the coal mines
Why? Is there a fire in the mines?
The fire is in your brother's mind
He is beating up one of the men very badly
Please don't beat my father
Please let him go. He will die.
Please don't beat my father
Halt!
What is this, Birjwa?
Brother, she was going by...
I fancied her, so I grabbed her hand That's all.
Oh, Raja Saheb, why are you being so harsh with your brother?
He has always been like this, right from childhood.
You shut up!
Listen carefully, Birjwa, the daughters of these men are like our own
I am the King and these are my subjects
There's a God above but I am their God on earth
Go away, Bloody fool!
Great! I have witnessed the justice of the Court of Jehangir
Slapped by his own brother
When Birjwa was slapped, it was my heart that bled
Yeah, if you think I lie...
... then may the village mad dog bite er, er, anyone!
I am doing plain talking
Hail the great Raja Saheb!
Ladies and gentlemen, I am Mr. Tol Mol
I talk in riddles, but lay bare deep secrets
What the hell are you talking about?
I am recounting the history of this village
For ages men have been bying women here
See that old man? See where he is going
He is giving medicine to all the old men to turn them young
What a rascal!
What's that he is saying?
Father, he is telling us your real name
You are a fool, and I am the son of a fool
Why the hell are you wasting your life fooling around whit that puppet?
Look how I am pursuing our ancestral trade
You are cheating the rich people
Please try to make my husband more virile
Increase his virility?
It means that the pill you gave him last time had no effect
Yes, that is true
But this time I will give you such a medicine that
Father, why are you ruining their lives?
No, no. I am re-kindling his fire
What you are trying to do is to set alight wood that is damp
You'll get nothing but smoke
Why?
Because, Father, you are trying to play a guitar that has no strings
Are his strings broken?
The whole instrument is broken, Father
And this model will not work Am I right, sister?
Yes, you are right I have been taken for a ride
Hey, have you had any refreshments, or are you just talking away?
I will see to his eating, you look after his drinking
Shankar
Give me the tray
Friends, the Court is ready but where is the King?
Master, what is this?
You were the cause of my beating my own brother
I will now give you the same thrashing
But, Master, your brother teases our daughters...
Shut up, son of a bitch
Your children become our slaves the moment they are conceived
We can do what we like with them
Your wives and daughters...
... we can use them any way we like
They are our property
We will raise our voice against this, yes we will
Throw him to the dogs
What are you doing here? What did you see?
You didn't see anything!
Tell me, what did you see?
What, what did you see?
What did you see, eh?
Birjwa. What is it?
He has seen something, but won't say
Hey, does coal ever talk?
Does the mountain talk?
You need a voice to be able to talk
Where will this dink get a voice from, he is dumb
I know that, but he has seen something
You may ask him!
Shankar
Birjwa, I may be illiterate
but I have been reading this mute from his childhood
I can tell, he has not seen anything
Go, Shankar, go!
Good party, wonderful party, wonderful party
You have had to much to drink
I have drunk a lot of wine
but now I must drink from the fountain of your youth
You always say this when you're drunk
Bindiya darling, the Creator made you so beautiful
Why then do you cover your beautiful body?
Throw away your clothes
I will appreciate your beauty
One would think this was the first time you were seeing it
That's it! The miracle of God
Oh, damn you, Guard
I am right in the middle of the road and you are shooting bullets at me
Raja Saheb has given us orders to shoot
Raja Saheb cannto live without the pellets that I give him,
but your bullets, were they to hit me by any chance
then you've had it Even if you escape Raja,
Birjwa will definitely kill you.
What are you doing?
Raja Saheb, Raja Saheb, Raja Saheb,
Why are you shouting?
You have no enemies,
then why all these guards and bullets and dogs?
Listen, grass and enmity can grow anywhere and at any time
After all I am the King
so I must have some target
The Deputy Inspector is on the line
Yes, Inspector, what is it?
You are coming, aren't you?
I will certainly be there for your daughter's wedding
Don't worry
Wunnerful, my friend, wunnerfool!
It's wonderful, not wunnerfool
Yeah, that's what I said, didn't I!
What is the matter, Raja Saheb?
You seem to have lost out to her today?
It is all your fault
You gave me such medicine that I failed once again last night
Once again I was humiliated
It is not the fault of the medicine
Whose fault is it then? It is the fault of the model
At this age where can I find a better model?
Just open your eyes and look around
God has made many beautiful models
Listen, Gauri, I was...!
Hey, Gauri, what have you people done!
Eaten sweets, that's what
Those were laced with cannabis!
There will be a heap of trouble
Is that so? What a disaster!
You will not be able to look straight
That is what is happening
You will become intoxicated
We have become intoxicated!
Stop!
Water! Look what is happening!
Milk is flowing from the tap!
Whoa! Stop the Jeep!
Hey, what are you waving your hands for? Blow the horn
Hey, you there, you girl
Not "you there", but Gauri, that is my name
Gauri, the beloved of the moon
Gauri, Gauri, the beloved of the moon!
Hey you, move aside
Why, what for?
Because you are sitting in the middle of the road, that's why
We are not sitting on the road, the road has spread itself under us
This girl looks mad to me
What did you say? You called Gauri mad? You called me mad?
Just say that once again, say it, I dare you
You curved moustached man
Moustached!
What are you staring at me for, with your wide open eyes you, Old Man?
Old Man?
He is not an old man, he is Rajaji
Dadaji (grandfather)?
Friends, come and greet our grandfather
Namaste, dadaji, namaste!
Gauri, hey, Gauri!
You have made my life unbearable
You are forever in trouble
Come, come on home, come along
Let me go, let go, please
Ahh, what a sight for sore eyes!
What a piece!
You have also become naughty with these children
Hey, not what a piece, she`s a big piece
She's more like a buffalow
What?
Her waist is the size of a barrel
Dolt. I am not talking about the big woman,
I am talking about the little one
Beautiful, beautiful!
Why are you laughing?
You have grown up but still as playful as a child
When will you get some sense in your head?
When I have not lost it, the question of getting it back doesn't arise
Your parents died without leaving a penny...
and saddled us with an orphan daughter
And your brother too just dumped you on my head...
... while he enjoys himself in Dubai
Listen, Auntie. Don't say one word against him
It's the money he sends every month which runs this house
Or we would have all starved
Enough, now go get dressed, we have to attend a wedding
Raja Saheb! Welcome, Raja Saheb
I didn't think you would remember non entities like us
You came as an Inspector to this area, but
retired as the Deputy Inspector General of Police
How can I forget such a big man?
I was...!
What a piece!
Beautiful! Wonderful!
O Raja Saheb. Times have changed but you haven't!
Greetings, D.I.G. Saheb
To you too
Felicitations on the marriage of your daughter
Many thanks, Mr. Jamuna for gracing this occasion
Now that your daughter is married
do give some attention to my niece's marriage too
Your girl is matchless, shouldn't have any problem with her marriage
Congratulations!
This means Raja Saheb has taken over the responsibility of this marriage
Raja Saheb?!
After all, he is the Raja. He is, he is
Raja Saheb, many, many thanks, very many thanks
Greetings, Raja Saheb
Gauri, come pay your respects to the Raja Saheb
He has taken over the responsibility for your marriage
Bow to him, bow to him
Raja Saheb, the girl has turned away, it means things will work out!
Gauri?
Gauri
Gauri called me. I'm coming
Wait, Gauri, wait, I am coming.
Gauri
Raja Saheb
Gauri
What is going on?
Going on? It is you who were going, I caught you
Get up
Take my hand. Oh, my back is giving away
Your pulse is throbbing like a water pump!
This is all due to Gauri
At the thought of her not just the pulse but everything starts throbbing
Everything?
That lass has bewitched me
Wherever I look, it is her I see
Raja Saheb, just don't see her at the window
or you are sure to lose your limbs
Don't force this marriage on me, Auntie
I will not marry someone I have not seen or known
Friends, can I marry without seeing the boy?
No, no, never
See! Quiet, you devils. Go away, scram
We are like your parents We only have your welfare at heart
And, after all, he is a very big man
But... He is very rich
It will be a life of luxury
You will live like a queen, you wretched girl!
Damn! Queen or empress
I will not agree until I have seen the boy's face
God, what a fix! Raja Saheb's face isn't worth looking at!
Gopal!
Bring over the horse if it is ready
What are you staring at?
Are you not dumb?
He who thinks me dumb is a bloody fool
But when did you start talking?
About 15 to 20 years ago
You mean all these years you
Learned your secrets by pretending to be dumb
You thought a mute would not be able to reveal your secrets!
I will tell Raja Saheb all the things you have said about him
No brother, please, I beg you please forgive me
Otherwise I will lose my life along with my job
Whatever happens, tell him I must
No brother, please, no Forgive me, this once
Hey you lily-livered pigeon, you crazy mare,
Shankar was only moving his lips, it was me who was doing the talking
Is that so? Stop sweating all over
Check this out
He was only moving his lips
We were just doing what we used to practice in childhood
You mean you two conspired to make a fool of me?
These days everyone is trying to make a fool of the other
Like it just happened to you
What is it? Shall I punch you!
Raja Saheb, Raja Saheb!
What?
Good news, good news!
Auntie has agreed to the marriage
Really?
And so has Uncle
And Gauri?
She has not
She has not? Why? What am I lacking?
The mirror never lies. Look!
Oh, Raja Saheb, I have a remedy for every ill
Why are you dejected?
Take a look at this
But eating this potion won't help me
Not eating, for applying on your head!
Black hair will definitely make a difference to your appearance
Maybe I can dye my hair, but what can I do about this wrinkled face?
How will I change this?
Got it! I will send a photograph instead!
What is all this?
We have agreed to your marriage
Without asking me?
Daughter, great good fortune has come our way
Oh, what a jewel of a man he is!
Auntie, I have told you this earlier, and I repeat
I will not marry anyone without first seeing the boy
Look at his photograph
If you don't like him all these gifts will be returned
Show me
Here. Look, look at this photograph
He looks like a film hero. How handsome he is, isn't he?
Yes, what a nice looking brother-in-law!
Hey! She didn't even see the photo
Gauri, where is the photograph? Gauri, where is it?
Brother-in-law looks like a hero
He is good looking, eh!
Why are you staring at me?
You can talk?
Yes, I can also see you
You are only a photograph, and photographs don't see or talk
If you wish, I can also touch you
Oh, really? Let's see you touch me then
I will dance at the Raja's Wedding!
Father!
Raja is getting married, but you are rejoicing!
Hey, why are you ruining my mood?
I am telling the truth
Are you sure you are telling the truth?
OK, so tell me why I am dying my hair
To match it with your black heart!
Wrong
Its because I am thinking about marriage
So, you're thinking about marriage?
I am also going crazy thinking about it
Right, isn't it?
I will have to get married
Go ahead, its high time
Oh, consider it done already!
Done, but with whom?
With the one who comes to this house every day
The one who comes to cook every day?
Yes, the same one
The one who does all our housework
Are you marrying me off to Rasili?
Yes. What?
Rasili is going to be my wife, and your step mother
No, she is going to be my wife and your daughter-in-law
No, she is mine
She is mine She is mine
She is mine
Rasili!
Both... Both have called together?
Yes
Oh, my God!
Rasili, Rasili, you tell us whom do you love?
Is it the son or the son's father?
Don't be shy, Rasili Its time to open up
Yes, Rasili, be as brazen as you want to
Tell us, whom do you love?
Please speak out Well?
I love both!
Please stand up for the ceremony
The bride goes first
Father, what is this? What?
Raja Saheb is changing the whole marriage system
Why?
Like a bridegroom he was going around his courtyard on a horse
And now, he is also doing the marriage ceremony himself!
He's turned everything topsy-turvy
Shut up! He is the Raja Saheb Whatever he does is right
My foot!
Priest, continue with your chants, this is the last round
I will take care of her But...!
Keep reciting your chants
The rounds are completed
Now bless them
You! I...!
How did I come here?
I am your husband
I have completed the marriage ceremony
No, no, that was no marriage ceremony
I do not believe that ceremony
This marriage is not acceptable to me
You have cheated me, cheated me
Listen sweetheart, cheating or not,
I have won the game
Today I will fulfill my heart's desire
I have married you. Marriage!
If you come near me, I will scream
All brides scream on wedding nights
Go ahead and scream
You can never have me
Help!
Will you kill me?
I will kill myself!
Gauri will never be yours, never
I will never accept you as my husband
I would rather be dead than accept you
Your life is my property now
No, never
I have control over your life and death
Everything is in my hands. Understand?
If I wish I can rape you right now
But I will not do that
Because I want to play the game of husband and wife with you
Never!
That is why I have married you
But now I have decided that
When I take you, it will be with your consent
I will wait for that day to dawn
I will wait
No! Never!
You smile and put salt on my wounds
I see, and am surprised
You've got yourself a flower more beautiful than me
But its fragrance...
you could not smell it's fragrance!
Bindiya
I have heard that women understand one another
Do something with this girl
So that she falls madly in love with me
Raja Saheb
Don't argue. I will give you a fortune
It's your job to bring that girl to tomorrow's function, dressed as a bride
This bullet could have gone through you, but...
My brother is besotted with you
Brother loves you, and I love Brother
Love has thwarted death
Bloody Fool, I have lost to your resolve
At the party, I put Bindiya in your place
Just to save the honour of this house
And you tried to destroy my good name by running away
I will now show you
my true colours
I have been very patient
You will now witness my hatred
When you are made to starve, you will learn to obey Raja's wishes
Shankar, are you thinking what I am?
It looks like the girl is being mistreated
I had heard that saying about "Something being fishy"
But this looks like the whole blasted fish market!
All are rogues, the buyers and the sellers
That is why I feel like digging up the facts
You talking about my father?
Chewing tobacco? Who... Me?
You are chewing tobacco?
Spitting it out?
If you chew then you are bound to spit
Are you throwing up? Vomit...
I get it!
You are talking about getting my father to spit out the secret
Here, down another one
Down another, down another, you say, and make me drink...
like they water a camel before taking it into the desert
Am I a camel? Am I?
Look, my dear... you called me and I have come
You asked me for a drink, and I gave it to you
You told me to feed you, I fed you
But why have you not quenched my thirst so far?
Come my lass, I'll quench your thirst
1, 2, 3, 4, 5...!
Hey, where did this fifth hand come from?!
Silly, but there are only four hands, not five
Count, count, count
1, 2, 3, 4
Eh. There are only four hands...
Why did I see five?
You are drunk, that's why
Okay. I am drunk, that's why
What happened, my love?
Who just gave a fake pill to your love?
The fifth hand is there Is definitely exists!
Five hands? Look, two mine and two yours
See, that's the fifth hand, the one on your shoulder
But this is your hand
My hand?
It's you who has held me all along
How can it be my hand? 1, 2, 3, 4
Caught it! Caught the fifth hand!
This is not the fifth hand, it is the hand of the Law
He who loses courage, falls into the hands of the Law
But why is the law after me?
You could've done some hanky-panky
The whole village is talking about it
You gave Raja Saheb such a pill that...
all night he remained like a rusted gun
No trigger pulled, no shots fired, no consummation of his marriage even
You have grossly cheated Raja Saheb
I have cheated him? It is he who has cheated Gauri
What cheating are you talking about?
Hey speak up! Where's your voice?
How can I raise my voice, even the winds can carry tales
If Raja Saheb gets the wind of the tale I've been telling you
then he will...!
Go on! Whisper into my ear!
Even the wind will not hear anything
Go on, tell me, tell me
Shankar, that innocent girl is suffering
Just wait and see, their big manion will crumble into dust
Because God has said,
that the tears of innocents give birth to flames
How disgusting, that my father is a part of this dirty game
And that poor girl...!
Shankar, see what she is doing!
You!
You helped Raja Saheb to bring me to this state
You have pushed me into the flames of this hell!
For a handful of coin from your master,
you have ruined my entire life!
What a game of deception you have played with the life of a girl!
Such a great fraud!
If you were not marrying me, why did you send your photograph?
Why did you send this photograph?
When I saw this photograph
I started dreaming of a life with you
I accepted you as my honoured husband
Made you a part of my life
But you...
You have ruined my life
The photograph that was given to me was a fraud
and my marriage ceremony too was a fraud
You are the root cause of all this
Tell me, why did you do it?
Why did you, why did you?
Why did you do this to me?
Why are you treating me so?
When I wish to die, you don't let me
What is my fault, tell me!
Can you tell me what is my fault?
Whom are you asking for an answer?
Whom are you asking?
He cannot answer any of your questions
Perhaps you do not know that this poor man is dumb
Dumb, he is dumb
In any case, whether they have a voice or not
the poor are always losers in the world of the rich
Since childhood this poor guy has been brought up on a diet of
Raja Saheb's ill treatment
But he is not involved in his cruelties
Shankar is completely innocent of whatever has happened or is happening
I'm...
Raja Saheb, you have again had too much
Yes, yes, I have drunk
My friend has a party for my wedding
But me, I am alone!
No wife!
I will break her. I will crush her pride
My wife, she will... at my foot!
Bloody Fool, Bloody Fool
No, I will not be humiliated today
I will stay awake and keep you awake too
Look, I've just washed my face with cold water
I am sitting with my eyes wide open
Take off your clothes, quickly
Raja Saheb, I am ready
Raja Saheb
Raja Saheb!
Shankar. It is the thirsty man who goes to the spring
But today the spring is asking you to quench its thirst!
Quench my thirst, Shankar
Quench my thirst
Shankar
I will, I will
You!
You, the thirsty spring
And I am the whirlpool of youth
Come, drown in my depths
Quench it, quench it
Quench your thirst
No, stop it!
Nobody can help you now
Stop!
Shankar!
Shankar, help!
No!
Shankar!
Help me!
Shankar!
Want to beat me?
Go on
Hit me, will you?
Hit me?
You laid hands on Birjwa
This is your place, under my shoe
Worthless slave
Hey, Birjwa, what's happened?
Why are you beating Shankar?
Ask him
How he enjoys himself with Bindiya when you fall asleep
I've caught them red-handed today
No, no, don't hit him
It was me who went to him
I am at fault, don't beat him
Wretch, you cheated me
You went to my servant?
I will teach you a lesson you will not forget all your life
Chanda Bai, this fake jewel of my mansion
is fit to be sold every night
She doesn't belong to my mansion anymore
but to your Salon
Bloody Fool!
Forgive me, Shankar. I misunderstood you.
Daughter, a woman's husband is her god;
it is her prime duty to serve him
All her life is for her husband
Hold his image in your mind and say
Say it with me: "My husband is my god"
See his image in your heart
Only his image
Repeat after me: "My husband is my god"
"It is my duty to obey him."
Sai it, dear: "My husband is my god."
Say it, daughter. Say it.
Ashok brother is here, brother Ashok is here!
Hey, you all are very naughty
What is in common?
Brother Ashok has come
Ashok!
Look, Ashok has come!
Here, take this
Have you come then? But why didn't you write?
Bless you, son, bless you
We have been missing you so much
We are seeing you after so long!
What did you bring for uns from Dubai?
Where is Gauri?
Sister Gauri has gone
Daughters don't stay in their parental homes forever
Why? Didn't you get the wedding card?
What? Wedding?
You people have married off my sister?
Without consulting me?
Where? To whom?
Son, she is living like a queen in the mansion
I just cannot tell you how
Very fortunate she is, my son
and he is a real king, not in name only
Raja!
Here's a telegram from your brother
He is coming to meet you
If you become emotional and talk about our family matter
then, in front of you your brother will be
Where is Raja Saheb?
Here I am, brother-in-law
You?!
Yes, I am her life partner
Yes, brother
He is your brother-in-law
Brother!
Why are you crying?
Why didn't you come to my wedding? Gauri!
I wish you were there to send me off
I only found out on coming here
that you had got married
Brother, if only you had come just as suddenly at my wedding
then I would have had no cause for regret
Gauri, aren't you happy?
But I am happy, brother
No brother. I am happy. Very happy.
I doubt any other woman has so much happiness as I do
I had never dreamt that I could be so happy
See all this, brother
This grand mansion
and my position here
Gauri, I had some doubts before coming here
but seeing how happy you are has relieved me
Now I can go back with a light heart
Raja Saheb,
I will remain forever grateful to you
You have crowned our poverty with your wealth
I will take your leave now
Oh, wait a while Have a rest, some refreshment
You have just arrived
Many thanks, but it is against our culture to take
food or drink from a younger sister's home
Yes, there you are right
Very well
How can I go against your customs?
You may go
Farewell
Please stop the carriage for a minute
What's the matter?
What are you saying?
I don't follow you
Your sister's marriage is a fraud
Take her away from here
No
Seeing you this way has made me mad!
The demon inside me is unleashed!
I will not spare you today
Gauri!
Your life has been destroyed
But you remained silent
Please go away from here, brother
You don't know how dangerous these people are
You have heaped injustice on my innocent sister
In the name of marriage you have perpetrated a fraud on my sister
My sister will not spend another minute in this hell
Come on, sister
Brother!
You think you can take my wife away?
This mansion is a cage
and death is hovering at all its doors
You have entered the jaws of death
Brother!
Brother
Let my brother go
Shankar
No!
Brother!
Brother, Brother!
Shankar, I couldn't take my sister away from here
You take my sister away from here
I leave Gauri in your care, Shankar
Brother!
Shankar
How dare you, you dog!
Shankar
Guards, after him, don't let him get away
No, Birjwa, I want him alive
Go
Brother, our enemy will die on their own
No, Birjwa, you don't know Shankar
Until I see his dead body, I will not believe he is dead
I need him, dead or alive. Bloody Fool!
Did you find out anything about Shankar?
We have dragged the whole river, couldn't find anything
You couldn't have tried hard enough
I will try now
Look, I tried, I have killed
Now I will find Gauri and Shankar
I will get you a hundred such girls Forget her
No, he has run away with my wife
My heart is broken
It is cracked; I will fill up the crack with their bodies
I will search every corner of the jungle
I will not rest until I have found him
D.I.G., have you heard?
about Shankars unfaithfulness
That's why I've brought these commandos
They will hunt him out of the jungle like hungry wolves
Hey, Birjwa!
These dogs were loyal to Shankar, they would have warned him
Good brains! Bloody Fool!
Pilot, turn the helicopter, turn around
Where are you taking me so deep into the jungle, Birjwa?
Am I a tiger, a bear, a fox, a monkey or what? Eh? What am I?
And if we run into a wild buffalo, we've had it
Sir!
What, have we run into a buffalo?
Look at these footprints
Sir! Look at this earring
Hand me the walkie-talkie
Brother
Yes, Birjwa
Your guess was right, brother
What?
Yes, they are both alive
Is it?
We have found Gauri's earring and the footprints of both
Which way are the footprints headed?
What is it, brother?
They are hiding in the hill near the stream
Surround them
Okay, brother
Across the stream, back!
Good God!
Have you found them?
No, brother, and it's getting dark
Afternoon has changed into evening
Where have the two vanished?
Where the hell has this dark night entered into our search!
Bloody Fool
Raja Saheb, please have your dinner soon
the food is running out
I will not eat
Raja Saheb, please. Have some
No
Strange! Men live and die by food
But Raja Saheb gets irritated at the mention of food
Who knows, whether tomorrow again food is cooked in the jungle or not
Today we are eating food, tomorrow some animal may be eating us
Hey Commando
Go quick and get me some water ... plain water!
Doesn't matter, I will get it myself
Let's stay close together, this is a dense jungle
The man in front will not even come to know if the last man gets taken
Where did he go? Where are you?
Hey, they are hanging
Stop playing the fool, pal Come on down, down
They are not coming
Birjwa! Birjwa!
These two have also gone
That makes three in all
This search for Shankar is costing us dearly!
He is around somewhere
Find him! Find him!
Birjwa, hey Birjwa! Forget Shankar
The fuel tank has burst, hasn't it?
What happened?
Place has turned into a graveyard
One by one all have gone
That dumb fellow will rest only after
he turns us all into blind and deaf cripples
That bastard is trying out our tricks on us
Trying them? He is beating us at our own game
Medicine Man, you tell the bitter truth
Yes
It is in our own interest that we return
You mean, accept defeat at the hands of our own servant?
Even the hunter takes precautions when the lion turns man-eater
What rubbish are you talking?
If you don't heed that rubbish we'll all soon become village history!
The villagers will tell their children stories of Shankar's bravery
And they will see him as the saviour and us as a bunch of scoundrels
But, Raja Saheb, you do understand, eh?
Yes, we will go back
Shankar
No
Shankar
No
Don't beat my Shankar. Don't beat him!
Shankar
What did you say? Your Shankar? Then who am I, you wretched woman?
Bloody Fool
Tol-Mol, has anyone ever been able to control the tempest of love?
Never, never
Look, like Shankar, I will also run away with Rasili
Run away, run away, run away
If Raja and his army could not stop Shankar, what can my father do?
Look, look there comes my father
Look at my father coming here with such a long face
Father, why are you looking so glum?
Father, you are looking very worried
Come on, tell me
Son, you were right that day
When a girl is forcibly married to an old man, the outcome is bad
because it is against nature
Hasn't Shankar proved this by running off with Gauri
How I wish this were true...
That they had not fallen into the Raja's hands!
Father, what are you saying?
Yes, they were caught
Both were killed
Killed?
I have just heard this at the Manor
The Raja killed them both
No
Say, what a beauty you have brought!
Chanda Bai, I had loved this beauty very dearly
but some bastard has enjoyed her, and I don't fancy second hand goods
Who was the dog who defied you, My Lord?
That Bloody, Shankar, my slave
I finished him by cutting off his head
But why did you spare this one, My Lord?
I could have done the same with her had I wanted to
but death would have set her free
I want her to die by inches
I want her to beg to be killed
I want her to be ravished by filthiest, ugliest and lowliest of all
I want that they should pick her bones clean
Father! Father!
Come soon
No son, don't get up
Your wound is fresh
If you get up, the stitches in your throat will come apart
Keep lying down
Son, your limbs are broken
When I brought you here, you were barely alive
Son, you are a mute, aren't you?
Most of the nerves in your throat were severed
Curing you, I discovered a nerve that had been depressed
Because of this you lost your speech
I have freed that nerve
It is possible you will be able to speak now
You are not a born mute
You must have had an accident
What happened, son?
Father!
Father, I have brought the food
Hariya, O Hariya! Your son Shankar has come to fetch you
Coming! Kadamji, Kadamji
Look what I have found in the coal, it is shining. Look!
What? Diamonds!
Diamonds! Glory be! Diamonds in a coal mine?
I have become a big man, a very big man
Wife, look, I found these diamonds in the coal mine
Diamonds!
When the master returns from town
I will show him the place and these diamonds
He will give me a big reward
We will not be poor anymore
Really?
We will give our Shankar good education and make him a big man
No!
Mother!
Father!
Mother!
I will tell everyone that you killed my parents
You are a murderer
Let me go!
What happened then, son?
Inspector Saheb, who is the vile animal who killed Hariya and his wife?
Speak up, who committed this crime?
But I am the Manager, I look after the welfare of these men
Who could have placed a burning coal
inside this innocent child's throat and made him dumb?
He'll never be able to talk in his life
But he is not blind
He will recognize the criminal
I will not spare him
Shankar, tell us, who out of these is your parents' killer
Go, take a look
Did these two kill your parents?
Officer, arrest these two
We better get going!
Did you finish the killers?
Yes, I did
They were dangerous wanted men
They fired on us and were killed in an encounter
Well done, Inspector
Did you see, Shankar, the law has avenged your parents' murder
From now onwards, I will look after you
I am your guardian from today
Gauri!
Ahh... gorgeous! What a beauty!
Chanda Bai, you have been hiding a real jewel all this time
My Lord, everything here is yours just for the asking
Chanda Bai, I'm willing to pay your price
I would gladly give my all for a chance to touch her
Watch it! Don't anyone try to touch her!
What did you say?
Yes, when I came here there was no one to save me
But I am here to save her
She is the true love of someone; for whom I hold her in trust
and I am in his debt
If anyone tries to touch her, it will be over my dead body
Come on, Gauri
Gauri, you have no idea what kind of animals' hands you have fallen into
Raja has ruined both our lives
And he has killed your Shankar
No, no. I just heard him call me
No, Bindiya. I have heard his voice
He is alive
Mutes don't have voices to call out
I know, truth is bitter But in life you have to face reality
No. I will never believe it, never.
My Shankar cannot be dead
God is not so cruel
He is alive
Raja!
So, these are the foreign partners of our diamond business
They are first and foremost my childhood friends
Welcome, welcome
Cheers!
All old friends have met today
All should enjoy Gopal brand chewing tobacco
Raja Saheb, let us have a glimpse of the diamonds
Yes, in a moment
Here you are
Is that all? Only these diamonds?
I will bring them out gradually, or the law will get wise to us
Like we did the last time
Like we did during Hariya's death
Raja Saheb, how clever you are!
After killing Hariya, with the help of police
you had us both declared dead
and sent us abroad and started the diamond business yourself
As for the law, you two are absolutely safe
What do you mean?
Because dead men are not arrested, and you are 100% dead!
Forgive me, Raja Saheb
But it appears that like your hair, your life has become gray too
Raja Saheb, things are so dull and drab today
Don't worry, I will find such a wonderful remedy to all this
that your heart will start singing
Raja Saheb, the songbird will not grace your party today
Why?
Because Gauri cannot come here
Gauri?
But why?
Because that witch Bindiya is protecting her
What? Did you hear that, Birjwa?
Where did Bindiya find the courage to do this?
Bindiya threatens to scratch out the eyes of
anyone who dares to look at Gauri
Is Gauri alive, Raja Saheb?
She is dead as far as we are concerned
But I have spared her life so that she can die a horrible death
No
No, don't be so cruel to Bindiya!
Don't, don't inflict this torture
For God's sake, let her go
Let her go
I say, stop it
No, don't do it!
You just stay where you are!
Why are you acting as her shield, silly?
She is a shattered vessel
Shattered and scattered
Don't try to protect her ravished youth
Hey, look. Here is a young bud from the Vale of Kashmir
Look, look, have your fill
There is no charge for looking
Hey, how come this blemish in our rose?
What great beauty! What hair!
Gauri!
What is this I hear?
Did you speak? Dumb?
Has come back alive and with a tongue as well
But what is the use?
You have cheated death to confront it once again
What do you know about death's designs, Birjwa?
Are you trying to scare me who has befriended Death?
Not trying to scare you, but to show you the shadow of death
Which is over your body like a shroud
Take a look!
You may take a hundred backward steps
but you cannot back out of Death's grasp today
Help
Shut up
Let me go
Hand over this girl to me, I have purchased her
But I have just sold every breath of yours to Death
What! Who are you?
Try to recall
For a few diamonds you and your men
killed my mother and father Hariya
What! Shankar?
Yes, Shankar. The seed of enmity that you sowed 20 years ago
stands before you today a full grown thorny tree
Thorny Tree!
I will destroy that tree
No, you will not die so quickly
First tell me the name of the 3rd man
who put the burning coal in my mouth
Shankar
Tell me, who is that third man, tell me
Speak
That third man was Raja Saheb
No, Shankar, no. Don't kill me
No, Shankar, no
Shankar, no
And that is how I got back my voice
Why are you staring at me?
I feel like listening to you forever
Will you only listen?
Won't you tell me anything about yourself?
Now that I have found you, all my wounds are healed
I have forgotten everything
Come, Shankar, let us go far away from here
To a world where there'd be just the two of us
Leave behind those, who snatched my own self from me?
They torched my childhood
Tortured my love
Who's there?
Who is it?
What do I see?
Get up, son. Get up, son.
Oh, father, go to sleep
There's a ghost dancing at the window, and you ask me to sleep?
Where is it?
There, there, look there, there
Where?
Where is the ghost? Are you trying to frighten your child?
Your horrendous snores will drive any ghost away
What is it ... sh... doing?
Father, father, I think it is Shankar's ghost
You run out of the window, I'll exit through the door
But he is standing in the window
Come, we will both run out of the door
It's a ghost, a phantom, a spirit
Forgive us, oh Spirit!
I beg pardon for my mistakes, Mr. Ghost
I am not a ghost
Father, he is talking
But Shankar was dumb
This is a ghost, move away
Look, Junior. Look at me. Touch me
Don't touch. You'll become ashes.
Father, this is Shankar
Father, this is our Shankar
Shankar, you are alive. Shankar!
Shankar, you are alive!
How did this happen, Shankar?
The Raja had killed you
I have so many accounts to balance,
that even death refused to take me
Shankar, my heart too is heavy with the load of sin
I will join you and relieve myself of that load
I am with you, Shankar
Well done, Father
Today for the first time I feel like hugging you
Who is he, who stabbed me in my back?
Pushed my brother into the furnace in broad daylight?
You are the retired D.I.G. but you could not find out who it was
What can I do, Raja Saheb
No one claims to know anything
You talk as if he was an alien!
A plague descended from the skies!
Raja Saheb, who is this?
Ranbir!
There is an arrow protruding from this throat
Take it out, looks like a message from the enemy
I am the one you seek
I am responsible for Birjwa's death
and it is me who has sent you this body
But what a shame it is, that
you cannot take any legal action
because in the eyes of the law, this man died 20 years ago
Wonder whose voice this is? It's the voice of your death
and this voice will not let you live now
Every minute, every moment
it will remind you and your companions of their approaching death
because I am that glowing ember of revenge
The flames of which have engulfed your lives
And in these flames you will all turn into ashes one by one
After Ranbir it will be Dilawar, then the D.I.G.,...
and then Raja
He has not mentioned me, Raja Saheb
When you are all gone, what will I do all by myself, Raja Saheb?
Who... who can this enemy be?
Hello
Dilawar, your life is in danger
Danger, what danger,Raja Saheb?
There is a burning ember behind you
Ember? What ember?
That which burns which turns things to ashes
Oh, Raja Saheb, I don't understand
Ranbir is stretched out in front of me
Lying in front of you?
He is dead
Dead! Who killed him?
The ember!
Yes, come fast to the Manor, Bloody Fool
Help!
You!
He will take my life
Who will take your life?
Ember Ember!
Yes, the same who reduced your friend Ranbir to ashes
What?
Come on, come on, quick
Not right, go left
But the Raja's Manor is this side
That is where he is coming from
Go left, left
Stop. Stop. Stop here
Where have you brought me?
This is the coal mine
Did I say I would take you to a diamond mine?
But why have you brought me here?
Someone wants a private meeting with you
Meet me? Who?
Shankar!
Shankar? Shankar who?
Hariya's son, in whose mouth you had placed a burning ember
Shankar
What!
Where are the keys? Hand me the keys!
Let go of me, let go
I say, let me go
Let me go!
Father, who is this hanging?
Not hanging, son, he is swinging
He is enjoying himself
Dilawar!
The very man
This is Dilawar, who killed Hariya 20 years ago,
and this D.I.G. pretended to shoot him
and this managed to cover up for him
Guards, find out who is this speaking
Brothers, the real culprit behind the murders of Hariya and his wife
is Raja Saheb
He is talking nonsense
To get hold of the diamonds found in the coal mine
this bastard snuffed out two lives
He is talking nonsense, brothers, all lies!
He is a wolf in a man's skin
An animal who spills the blood of poor workers
Who the hell are you? Why don't you show yourself?
Shankar!
I am an eye witness of your crime
My parents were killed on your orders
and when I was going to appear as a witness to that crime
... you put a burning ember in my mouth
and took away my voice
When my eyes recognized the killers
you and the D.I.G. hatched a plan about their false death
and fooled me and everyone else here
For 20 years, a voiceless orphan
a helpless slave served you like a faithful dog
I worshipped the devil, taking you to be God
But time has removed the scales from my eyes
You have wronged me
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Brothers, the biggest wrongdoer is he himself
Being my servant, he eloped with my wife
and has concocted this story to avoid punishment
It is not he, but the Raja who is concocting a story
I was never his wife
His marriage to me was a fraud
Speak up!
Yes, yes it is true that out of greed for money
we got Gauri's consent by showing her Shankar's photograph
Speak up, Raja. Is this true or not?
What can he tell you
I will tell you
He not only deceived Gauri
but is responsible for all the rapes and killings in the village
He has been caught today
Medicine man!
Sorry, mate, father has shifted loyalties
Listen, you Raja
So far Father has been feeding you pills
now he will feed you embers
Thrash the bastard
Beat him!
Bloody Fool!
Bloody Fool
No Shankar
No Shankar, no
The oil will catch fire
There is coal all around
It will catch fire
I have brought you up, boy
For making me a slave
I gave you life
To save yourself from death
Look, one is cremated only after death
You cannot burn me alive
You started this tale by putting a burning ember in my mouth
Today this burning ember will end that story by lighting your own pyre
No, Shankar
No, I beg of you
No, no! www.ibnyassin.c.la
