In every speck shines His divine light
Look within yourself, He isn't far from you
If you have love in you, then embrace everyone
Because we are all in His form. That's worship
What would have happened if the red-headed man...
...hadn't woken up at dawn that day to relieve himself?
Perhaps life would have carried on in Delhi-6 as it had for centuries
And my life might not have been turned upside down
But then again
When you got to go, you got to go!
In the Treta Age of the Vedic era
The evil ten-headed Ravan ruled supreme
The Sun, Moon, Wind and Fire were enslaved to Ravan
Who could save the universe from Ravan?
A divine voice spoke: "I will be born as Ram in Awadh to save you"
The tumour is close to her area of vision
Fatima, ask the fool how long I've got?
Ma, don't say that! Allah forbid it
Who do you have in India?
Did these five years with us bore you?
No, child. But you must merge with the soil on which you are born
Ma, these are old proverbs
Son, think of it as my last wish
Ma, you're like a stubborn child
You make life difficult
You know I'll never go back to Delhi.
I couldn't see well in the dark. He was 8ft. 2
Covered in black hair
His nails shone like knives
Anyone who dares to sleep is dead!
He'll creep up on you at night
He'll kill you. Murder you. Who is he?
Yes! The murderer is a monkey
A dark Black Monkey!
The Black Monkey kills. The Black Monkey murders
Beware! 24/7. From Delhi, Kumar
The first one to welcome me to Delhi was the Black Monkey
Maybe destiny was sending me a sign
Would you care for a paan?
Salaam, Mrs. Mehra
Now I can die in peace
My love dragged you back, didn't it?
I forgot all about you
Recognise him?
At last! Now my eyes can rest forever now. Let me hug you
Come on! Give me a hug
I'm Ali Baig!
A flood of people! Delhi is teeming with life
Everything happening at the same time. Yet there is a kind of balance
You can't enter like this
First sweeten your mouth
Mamdu! How are you?
You're back at last!
Salaams, Hina! My sister-in-law
Why the long face? Aren't you looking after her?
Gobar! Bless you, son
Guess who's here! My grandson. Roshan
He isn't hungry
Only dogs eat when they're hungry. Humans eat to bond with each other
Have one
Only the lucky few taste Mamdu's sweets
Or you can't go through
My beloved has returned home
People have great faith in this place
They say if you hang a bell with a pure heart
God will heed you
I hung a bell before I left and prayed...
...to return with my whole family
God heard me. At least in part
Home at last! Your Paswaan Lane
It's hasn't changed a bit
Your phone is ringing
Not mine
You must rest. I'll take your leave
- Have tea with us - Some other time
Make sure you drop by
That's my ball
Got it!
Mrs. Mehra is back
- How are you, Rajjo? - You look lovely
Welcome to Delhi 6. How do you do? I am Rajjo
Rama!
Rama. Bless you
A local speciality
Home at last!
Roshan! Unlock the door
- Which one? - The small one
The tulsi plant has dried. Some water
No water now
The tap runs only in the morning
It's like the government. Works on a whim
Nothing like Mother Earth!
I was just 16
Your grandfather married me and brought me here
I'll leave the world from this place now
Gran...
This way
Don't waste water. It's precious
Overflowing with emotion. That's the beauty of India for you
Love is never given in small doses
Here, taps may run dry. But amazingly tear ducts never do
Your grandfather! He never accepted your parents' marriage
Never listened to anyone
"How is it possible?"
It chewed him up till he died
He'd say: "How can my son marry a Muslim?"
I wasn't happy either
When I got to know your mother...
...I knew I was wrong
Damn it!
Must the power go now?
Your father was just as stubborn
My husband said: "Get out!" So he left
And refused to come back
Except for once. For your grandpa's funeral
See God's miracle, Roshan?
You were born on the same night
"Everything that happens is God's will"
Only his moustache sets you apart
You're still not ready?
Ravan is on his way to kidnap Sita
My scarf! Hey, mister
Can't you see? Shall I buy you specs?
Gran!
Lord Ram was born in Awadh to put an end to all suffering
Salaams, Mrs. Mehra
Mamdu? Right?
I can't enter without eating something sweet, right?
How are you, Madangopal?
Well. Thanks to the Goddess
Bittu! Isn't she Bittu?
How thin you are. You were once so chubby
You're a stick now
- Her American grandson - Must I dance for joy?
Roshan. She's Bittu. Their daughter
- 20 rupees from me - And a donation of 50 from me
Why be stingy with the Benevolent One? Right?
Miserly with his sister...
...but loves showing off in public
You brothers never stop fighting. Have you no shame?
You look dashing!
Young man, not Miss. Mrs!
Myself Jaigopal Sharma, proprietor Jaigopal Electrical Works
I won the contract for all the lighting. Right?
Donation, Mrs. Mehra
Gobar! Don't pester her. Come here.
What will you take?
One ten-rupee note? Or two one-rupee coins?
One note? I'll take two coins
He's got straw for brains
Time for a group photo. Paswaan Lane! Stand close together
Are we in?
My star of Delhi-6. When are you heading to Mumbai?
I can go anytime. I'm giving the others a chance
Don't forget the 2500 you owe me! Right?
Jaigopalji, forget about me. Tell me about your shirt. By God!
I had better visit Malayasia too
Look! The moneylender's wife is decked out like his jewellery store
So our wives nag us to buy the same jewels
Then pawn them right back to him
Let me photograph you and your lovely wife
Greetings, Annapurnaji
Pay your respects!
May you both live long!
Lalaji! Meet Rajan's son. Roshan
Are you here to stay?
No. I came to leave her
What's your name?
Roshan Mehra
Any plans for the house?
Lalaji, I'm still alive!
- I'll fetch you a good price - Can family heritage be sold?
There's no family left
Money is better than bricks and mortar. Right, son?
You burger species!
With an arrow as sharp as His gaze
He stuck the golden deer
The golden deer changed into the demon Marich
O Brother Laxman! Ram is calling for help
As Laxman leaves, the demon king Ravan appears
Sita hears his cry for alms!
The sage implores: "Give alms in the name of God"
"God keep you well"
The sage insists: "Sita, step out of the ring of fire. Hand me the offering"
As Sita stepped out, the sage turned into the demon Ravan
You sinner! O Lord Ram, save me!
Ladiesand gentlemen
We are proud to welcome...
...Maitri Devi, the councillor for Delhi 6
The honourable lady is here
On behalf of the Ram Leela committee...
...we'd like to garland her
"May the rule of Ram reign forever. I may die but I'll never break a promise!"
Lord Ram who sacrificed everything in the name of duty...
...at His feet...
...I offer donation money on behalf of my party and me
Please accept it
Join me when I say: "Long live Ram and Sita!"
Long live Lord Hanuman!
Long live Maitri Devi!
In India, the gods dance to the whims of politicians
I thoroughly enjoyed the Ram Leela
But even more fascinating were the people
I was so exhausted. But the real drama was yet to unfold
Hanuman! Go and see. Two men have entered the forest
Hanuman! Where are you?
Where has Lord Hanuman gone?
Hanumanji, it's your cue. They're looking for you
A monkey!
The Black Monkey!
You slow poke
Manager! Come here
- Is he the one? - No
Balls of a wimp! It's not him either. Aren't you an expert at grabbing tails?
Carry on!
Whose phone is that?
Whose tail is ringing?
Yes? Hello!
Inspector sir, the phone belongs to Roshan
Roshan! I've found it What species is he?
Sir, please let me go
Did I give you permission to stop?
Who's this?
Roshan, let's go
Shall I slap his left cheek too?
Know who I am?
You must be a public servant
Balls of a wimp! Do I look like a servant?
There maybe few highways, but there's always a way out
Thank you, Inspector sir
Mr Baig
Tell him how the wind blows. This is India
You bow to a uniform. No choice
What did you do?
I offered him a paan
Wrapped in a bank note
This is Delhi, my friend
Offering you nothing but love and affection
Delhi is a place for those who love life
A place where crazed lovers live
It holds you in a tight embrace
It lets you hear its heartbeat
Hearts to your left
Hearts to your right
This is not a city but a gathering of lovers
This is Delhi, my friend
Offering you nothing but love and affection
- Specs... - Do I need them?
Why the toothpaste grin?
Sunita, the scene today is: Show some flesh, hide some
You want 4x6? 5x7? Laminated? You've wasted my whole day
I have beauty. I have heart. Apretty face and I'm smart
I, Bittu Sharma, will be your new Indian Idol
Loosen up! Relax. Be a little sexy!
Hey mister, watch your step. Tread carefully on the path of love
The path of love is strewn with cheats
Not bad! You forgot your lipstick today
No, I didn't. It got rubbed off
When do my lips try that?
What?
Your hair!
Your hands are too frisky. Control them
They have a will of their own. What a dirty mind!
Maybe they want something
Bittu, you never take me seriously
You'll appreciate me when I make you an Indian Idol
Not a bad photographer. You can cover my wedding
They're in black and white. No colour
- I see life in black and white - But rainbows fill the Mumbai sky
Models! Money
I must make some money
But to make money you need money
Suresh!
Lalaji!
What a coincidence! I was coming to see you
Your meter is ticking, Suresh
You owe me 166,000 rupees
Didn't you get the cheque? I'll clear our accounts at Diwali
You have a week
Or else... I think you get it
Got it! You look smart today. May I take a photo?
Say "ah"
Gran!
Rama is gifted. She'll brighten her in-laws' home
Her brothers' quarrelling is spoiling her chance of marriage
Damn their bickering!
Soon she'll be too old to marry
Age has nothing to do with finding love
When my beloved teases me, sister-in-law ribs me
My husband's house is as lovely as a marigold
When mother-in-law taunts me, brother-in-law consoles me
My husband's house is as lovely as a marigold
I left my parents' home so I could belong to my beloved
My husband isa merchant. He is leaving for the city
When I see him go, my heart sinks
My husband's house is as lovely as a marigold
I left my parent's home so I could belong to my beloved
Wearinga bush shirt, he happily chews paan
There is no one to match him in all of Raipur
My husband's house is as lovely as a marigold
I can't swallow a thing
Eating too many betel nuts! Who's there to stop you?
Aren't you Rama?
Wow! You've never met us. But you recognize us
The one and only Rajjo!
How do you do? Is all well with you?
Your son is a gem
He's one of us now
We're keeping him. Don't say we didn't warn you!
Keep him! He's yours anyway
You have a Delhi-6 heart. Tangy and spicy! Like a Delhi snack
Mother!
Call 911!
We're going to the hospital
Irwin Hospital!
Get out of the way!
Mamdu!
She's very unwell
What's wrong? Tie this to her wrist
Lord Hanuman will cure her
We won't let her fall sick
Gobar, clear the way!
Why have they stopped?
What's going on?
Mother Cow is giving birth
Mother Cow giving baby cow
Move them out of the way. Go on!
Clear the road!
You're blessed to see Mother Cow giving birth
Mother Cow is giving birth
Those who witness the birth are freed of all misfortune
Here! Mother Cow has blessed you
Can prayer ever be stopped?
Mother Cow is giving birth. People have gathered
How can the police intervene?
Step back! Everyone stand back!
Gran?
Move aside. Let us pass!
Your Gran is better already
Mother Cow's miracle!
Her sugar level had dropped and she fainted
She's fine now
Back in America, we thought Gran had no one in Delhi
But everyone here is family
Gran is dying, Ali Uncle
The poet Zauq says:
"Who can ever wish to leave Delhi's lanes?"
Just stay
Stay as you are
You are pain
You are comfort
A gentle breeze
A stormy obsession
Smooth as silk. Jagged as rough cloth
Sometimes you quarrel. Sometimes you're stubborn
So full of fragrance
I don't want to change you an inch
Without adornment. Without impurity. No more. No less
I love you just as you are
All yours
In your rainfall, I want to dissolve
In your flame, I want to burn and turn to ash
If you wound me, soothe me with a balm
I will soon love the wound you inflict
You are a river. Let me drown in you
Your father and I had a great time when we were young
No wife and children. A girl-friend?
Just the one
Your father took her away
My mother?
25 years ago, if I had told Fatima "I love you"
I might have a son like you today
But dreams only blossomed In my heart
Your father had guts
He loved her madly. He fought everyone
Not caring what they said about Fatima being a Muslim
He fought for love
When I look at you, I see that love
In your eyes and in the way you talk
But then I know...
...you will leave us too
Back to America
My life is there
All my pleas are written on my face
What can I ask of You, O Master?
You already know what is in my heart
O Master! My Master
Cracks blemish the line of my destiny
Repair my fate, O Master
He who comes to Your threshold comes to bow his head
He came with throat parched. And found an overflowing river
He returned bathed in the shower of Your light
The rich always buy the best urns. 501. 95 paisa. Just feel it
Do you have a gold urn? With gems and rubies
Why show off in death?
Why save if you're going forever?
A copper urn. 251.95 paisa
I want a clay urn for my ashes. Or I'm off
You're so old-fashioned. Here you are
Especially made from sacred Ganges clay
- 151.95 paisa - This is good
Roshan, hold it
Now I can die in peace
Here you are
Only 100?
Be happy
"The tree said to the leaf: Listen to what I say:
"This is the cycle of life: A leaf dies. Another is born"
I first thought it odd that Gran was making these arrangements
A bit morbid
Who goes shopping for your own funeral? Discussing death like this
I suppose we can't decide the manner in which we are born
But we can plan our departure
The rainy season is over. Autumn is here
Yet I have had no word of Sita
It pains Laxman to see His brother suffering
He longs to take away his pain
Fresh attacks in Delhi 6
The dark shadow of the Black Monkey is cast all over Delhi
My heart stopped when I saw it. It had bulbs on its chest
When I touched it, I got a 500 volt shock!
Oh my God!
The earth gets its energy from the sun
But the monster Black Monkey's energy is far greater
It can attack any time
They're all fools
The Black Monkey...
It tore her saree...
Do you want to be the next Indian Idol?
The Indian Idol bus is coming to your town!
You pierced your navel?
Sexy, eh? I had it done yesterday
- It must have hurt - Nothing gained without pain
If the Black Monkey has glowing lights on its chest...
...it means it has a mother board
An electrical circuit. Right?
Leave him alone
Don't bore him with your theories
Young man! What happens when Water enters an electrical circuit?
Right! Well done! Hear that, Rajjo?
He's smarter than us
Made in America! Right?
So, if you see the Black Monkey's mother board, pour water on it
Short circuit! Finished!
The end of the Black Monkey. Right?
Brilliant. It's time to leave
I'm not blowing my own trumpet. But no one can touch me in electronics
Only father's old radio is beyond me
Until I hear a sound from it, I won't give up
I'll see you at the prayer meeting
Good you're arranging a prayer meeting. The Goddess will bless us
Hail to the Goddess!
Sister-in-law!
I don't know what he was telling Roshan
Something about the Black Monkey's mother Sitting for a board exam
Pour water on it
He said pour water on it and it's dead
But where do we get so much water?
This chilli!
- Let Bobby play with me - Stop it!
- What is it? - Some sweets
Why? Has Mother Cow given birth?
No! Granny is well again. So we're organizing a prayer meeting
I just came out of the toilet. My handsare unwashed
Leave it inside
You're the wife of Madangopal Electrical. How can you be so dumb?
You're from America, right?
Lightning strikes when it rains? Yes? It does. Right?
Does lightning cause the clouds to short-circuit?
- Never heard such a thing - Neither have I
Throwing water on the Black Monkey won't help
Stop that damn racket!
Do you think the Black Monkey is a son of an ass?
A big hero!
Talking rot to the women
Uncle is right, father
My science teacher told us about short circuits
Shut up! Son of an ass! When you're my age, then talk big!
- Must you shout in front of Roshan? - Mummy, I'm going out
Serve some lunch to Mrs. Mehra. Then go to college
Pour water on the monkey? Ha!
You Americans think you own everything
You force your way everywhere. Into any country
So shameless. You Americans never ask for permission
What's the big deal?
It's a big deal for us. We never cross the line
You burger species!
You know why the Black Monkey wears shades?
- How would I know? - It's stylish, boss!
You're smoking Indian cigarettes when I'm around?
Try this, sir. Imported
Special filter
Is that so?
What a waste
Bobby, come here
Well, Mr Bobby? You'll get 90% in your exams this time. Right?
No. 100%
Bravo!
Pulling your uncle's leg! Right?
Who started this round?
Ok! There's a beggar sitting round the corner
Give this to him
That's my boy!
- What are you doing? - I'll do what I want
Shall we go in?
- Those damn ghosts live there - Go on!
You come too. Big mouth!
Don't be a kid. We're grown up now
- What if we're caught? - No one enters Dead Souls' Lane
They say scary spirits roam here
Mummy says cigarettes are bad
But your father smokes
You coward!
- I'm no coward - That's more like it!
In Delhi 6, Jalebi helps boys become men
Jalebi? She's of a lower caste
- So what! - I'll ask Mummy
You son of an ass! You can't ask Mummy about everything
Now we're men
Sister! The garbage
Old letch!
You girl thief! You'll be dancing like a peacock when I shove my broom...
The garbage!
Mrs. Mehra, the flowers
Go in
Simpleton!
Turn us into men
Who told you I could do that?
- Everyone knows - Sonny, you still wet your pants
Still drinking milk. You'll be men?
We're grown up. We want to be men
I'll call your mother
Be men!
Damn it!
Wretched parents! Spoiling their children
The garbage!
In the name of Lord Ram!
Disaster!
What have you done?
Pure of body. Pure of spirit
- Take your clothes off - You wish!
So what if Jalebi is human! She's of a lower caste
You have to bathe. Come on
Roshan, listen to him. Do as I say, son
Shabri, why do you hesitate?
Give me a berry to eat
She tastes the berries and offers the sweetest to Lord Ram
Without hesitation, Lord Ram eats berry after berry
Shabri is of a lower caste. Why is He eating berries she has tasted?
To Lord Ram, one is inferior or superior by birth
Ramji is God. He is permitted everything
Rambihari
I need company. Bring Jalebi to me
The boss wants you
The key is here
Come on
You wretch! I'll fix you
- Stand up! - I'm not going with you
Tell him that!
The police!
The Black Monkey?
Hail to the Black Monkey!
Where did the balls of the wimp go?
Who?
The Black Monkey! Who else? Not asking about your father
Pass me the fog horn!
You Black Monkey
Your game is up. We have surrounded the place
Be reasonable, Or else we will shoot you
- He tore through the roof - He must have springs for feet
You saw it? What does it look like?
Who? - The Black Monkey! Who else?
Why are you winding us up?
If he's invisible, how can he be seen?
The moron drives well too!
Before I knew it...
...I was adding to the Black Monkey's saga
Because of me, it is now invisible
In the dark of the night, wearing a dark suit and dark glasses...
...the Black Monkey drives a black Sumo
Once its dark deeds are done...
...it presses a red button...
And becomes invisible!
It's an alien
It attacked two girls in our area. They were sleeping
We gave chase. But it disappeared
This monkey is driving us crazy
The albatross emits many sounds while it is mating
If you breathe deeply, it'll benefit you in every way
Great importance is given in Yoga to breathing
Many Sumo cars were destroyed in Delhi
But this Sumo belonged to the Black Monkey
- Have you seen the Black Monkey? - Yes! It's invisible
It is an animal. Animals aren't in our jurisdiction
Not a case for us
A monkey?
A criminal!
Hurrah! The vehicle has lifted off!
The monkey is an animal. Not our jurisdiction!
So? Will you do nothing?
Pointing fingers at us won't help
Look at our track record
We are most capable
Utter rot!
This case is for the Animal Ministry. They must take action
Move! Go home and watch TV
Have you ever seen an animal with a mother board?
Springs for feet?
No! So how does it concern the Animal Ministry?
Talk to the Science and Technology Ministry
If they stopped lining their pockets, they'd have time for us
How right you are!
Madangopalji! It's from the shrine
I'm Jaigopal! For once get my name right
Look! Look into the mirror
In every speck shines His light
Look within yourself, He isn't far from you
If you have love in you, then embrace everyone
That's true worship
Look into the mirror!
Salaams to you!
He's a fine boy
Haji Mian!
Roshan slapped the Inspector last night
"You public servant"
"Do you know who I am?"
"You look like a public servant"
"Servant? Do I look like a servant?"
Then our Roshan, tall as...
...the Qutub Minar, swung his arm...
Did I give you permission to stop? Carry on!
I explained. "Roshan is new in town... "
The Inspector can fix anyone
Masakali! Come
Come here, my child
Flap your wings. Fly away, Masakali!
Spread your wings and set the dust free. Fly high! And higher still
Fly over cities, lanes and towns
Fly with grace on your wings. Follow your heart's every desire
Blend with the wind. Stylish and swift. Fly away, you gem
A colony of clouds is your lovely abode
Turn your head away from those who can't fly
Fly! Do not be afraid
Do as you please. As you please
Fly away. Don't look back. Smile as you spread your wings
Flap your wings. Fly away, Masakali!
What do you care about sorrow? All you hear is the flute in the sky
The wind talking
The sun shining
Fly away! Never fear
Do as you please. As you please
Fly away. Don't look back
Smile as you spread your wings, Masakali
What's it to you?
Bittu! My child
I'll pour it in his tea. Then swallow some myself
End of story
- Whose tea? - That bloated haystack!
He wants to check me out. Marry me
Check you out?
You find us so amusing
What's wrong?
I don't want to get married. But I don't have a choice
I'll have to walk a little. Sing a little.
Pretend I cooked the samosas Aunt Rama made. The perfect wife!
Hurry! Papa is about to have a fit
Yuck!
If you don't want to get married, tell them your point of view
Who can dare talk to father?
They're made for each other. Like Ram and Sita!
The princess arrives!
May I have a word? It's urgent
Not now. We have guests
I said later!
Do have something
Bittu doesn't want to marry him
You insolent boy! Remember your place
She can't tell you. Because she's scared of you
I said get out!
Bittu was going to drink rat poison. And mix it in the tea
I am Sameer Abbas. You're watching IBN-7
Breaking news from Delhi 6
This is what the Black Monkey looks like
The Delhi police offer a reward of 50.000
The Black Monkey is the latest rage
No doubt about it. That's what it looks like
Delhi is gripped by fear
People are so scared
Breaking news from Old Delhi!
In Delhi 6, pregnant woman fell to her death as she ran down the stairs
She panicked when she heard people say the Black Monkey was back
Fear of the Black Monkey has caused another death
What is the Black Monkey?
Everyone in Delhi fears it
Is it some sort of plot?
Hey! The Black Monkey!
Is it inside? Or is it out?
