O the Protector Lord Krishna! O the dark one!
O maiden, come as a bride!
Come as Goddess Lakshmi!
Adoring flowers in the beautiful hair...
...come, dressing up like a bride!
Beauty of Thulu region...
...of bright flames in your eyes.
O my dear! This is the dream which you dream...
Month of December is ahead...!
Marriage is not a game... Dear!
Minu, this pattern looks very gorgeous.
Speaking to whom?
Minu, come here, how long are you...?
Mother is calling me, call you later.
Haven't you liked it? It's glittering!
We might get a better one in Coimbatore.
I haven't seen such a good design there.
May be little costly, still...
It's imitation not original!
Who told you? Anu, just see whether its original or not?
Aunty, I couldn't judge.
But if it's pure Silk...
Oh! I already checked with them twice.
Please pack this.
Aunty, I shall take Kalpana with me today.
Where? - To my house for sometime.
But you are going to library, right?
That will not take 10 minutes also. We'll immediately go home.
Didn't she come to your house yesterday?
Not yesterday but day before!
Let it be! Haven't you met each other?
Just for sometime! I'll come back before evening.
How? Should I send car?
I'll send her by an auto.
I'll drop you in the library.
No, lt'll take long time through this one-way.
We'll catch an auto from that junction.
Dear, don't go anywhere...
Anu, not today... Take her some other time.
Come let's go... - Mother, Just now you agreed...
No... listen to me... let's go.
Bye Anu...
Kalpana won't be coming today.
You met her today? When?
At 4.45 in Saree House... Her mother was also there.
Then...? - Both of us had planned to come here...
Aunty changed her mind suddenly.
Why? - A small accident...!
What happened to her... - She's okay. Aunty took her with her.
Nothing happened to her right?
I wanted to ask you something as you know your friend very well?
Don't you know her better?
Friendships between you girls are different.
Secrets which can't be shared between lovers
are shared between friends...
Tell me...
You feel is there any confusion in Kalpana's mind...
Regarding...?
Will she listen to whatever I say?
You yourself can make it out, right?
I doubt whether she'll be firm in this.
She can't think of anybody else other than you.
She's ready to sacrifice anything for you.
Really... - Yes really?
Shall I ask you something?
What can you sacrifice for Kalpana?
Men are not forced to sacrifice everything like women.
I've nothing in particular to sacrifice.
lf her parents object, she'll finally elope.
Hoping things should go well without such happenings.
I too wish the same.
I'll bring her tomorrow evening at 6.00pm.
Where?
Anu, a letter for you.
Why did you receive it?
Couldn't the Postman drop it in the box?
Where's your letter box? - Oh missing!
Our box went missing last week. May be yours now...
I saw it this morning.
Why did you break open it? - Why should I?
Are we receiving letters this way? - Ask the postman.
Read it yourself... I don't need it.
Please... Please don't...
Why are you always... how are you benefited?
I swear, I've not done it.
Cover was already opened and I had stuck it.
Then, in the college... - No time please...
Any problem? - A regular check up.
Is she better... - It's nearly a year and half...
Why are you crying? - She wants her mother to carry her...
She has spinal pain, so doctor has asked...
Shall I take the child to my house? - It's okay.
You weren't seen for past two days?
I left little early to cover up the portions as exams are nearing.
Haven't you yet switched on the lights?
I was waiting for you and dozed off.
Brother's! I didn't break it!
That guy is crossing his limits nowadays.
I'm thinking of complaining against him to his mother.
In spite of many women here,
I don't understand why should he behave only with you this way?
It seems Hari is not coming this time.
Is Bombay abroad? Might be her intention...
He's going to attend her cousin's marriage in Delhi.
He doesn't want to see his father...
If I had started that business with my pension amount.
You needn't have toiled this way now.
Where are you going? - I heard a loud noise.
Window might have opened in the wind.
Which window? - Left side in the hall...
I remember well that I closed it...
It might have opened again in the wind.
There's a meaning for every thing.
I closed it. If it had opened again... it means bad omen.
I can feel something bad going to befall on us.
Why don't we call Guruji here? - Okay you sleep now...
You are not getting proper sleep because of late dinner.
Let me close that window.
Hell with her...
The craziest love which I've ever seen...
...is of Kalpana and Shantanu...
Let that end up in happiness.
They get restless when they don't meet each other.
That's true love... I'll give my full support.
What will be my reaction if any guy express his love to me?
I'll surely reject him without showing any sympathy.
Okay you go...
Are you here? - I thought you would've ran away.
Okay... l'm going to watch a movie.
Alone...? - Do you want me also to lie to aunty?
Both of you go. Why should I miss the movie?
Come back before 6.30.
It's not good for girls to watch movies alone. Please come.
You stop it... - No, you can also come with us.
There's no privacy between us.
I'm not coming. I'll watch it and narrate the story.
If anybody asks...? - Nobody will ask.
I thought that you'll not be coming.
There was a bad omen.
I ran over the cat while reversing car and it died.
Poor cat! Tiny one... Not yet opened its eyes.
Don't know who left it on the road to die!
You're also like your mother... Superstitious!
Don't disregard... just close your eyes and pray for the cat.
What if your mother objects?
I'll just elope without fighting and creating any scene.
Where?
That's why I tell you to get registered.
What's wrong to get registered?
Today itself we can do it.
Not today... they sent her along with me.
If she's missing, police will enquire me.
She is 22 now. What would police do?
Not 22 but 23... not to get registered...
But we should try to change everybody's mind.
They'll not accept us till we get registered.
After few months everybody will accept us.
That won't happen in my family.
Mother might but father will not.
What happen to your uncle's candidate...
Who? - That Bank manager's proposal...
Don't worry... he doesn't like me.
Don't lie. Is he blind? Hasn't he seen you?
He might have seen me somewhere without my knowledge.
My uncle was ready to offer him handsome dowry.
But he didn't get trapped.
May be he loves somebody?
Why are you both silent?
Both of you were restless when you didn't meet each other.
Silence is because of my presence?
Not all...
There are many things to talk.
But don't know how to start.
Make it fast.
Truthfully I've only one thing to say.
I wish to marry Kalpana... if she also wishes...
Why still such... - No, there's nobody to object from my side.
I have nothing to sacrifice also. But Kalpana...
Her parents would agree to it some day.
So don't take hasty decisions.
I'm her best friend. I already handed over her to you.
She's little short tempered. But a very good girl.
Give your hand.
I've handed over her to you... you shouldn't let her worry.
And be her slave for life time.
I've handed over her to you You can discuss whatever you like to.
Where are you going?
She might feel uneasy to sit with us.
Your feet is very soft.
Girls' feet are always soft.
Not at all. Not a speck of dust or dirt...
You walk with this feet right? - No...
Your little toe in your left feet...
I think of cutting it slowly... - Why?
Just thought of...
Is a girl's left feet any special?
In the epic Shakuntala by Kalidasa,
It's said that when she touched the Ashoka tree with her left feet.
Flowers blossomed...
Literature which you studied has become very useful now.
Do you really love me?
How do you feel?
I know but I have some fear...
If your parents object,
Will you sacrifice everything and come to me?
Yes... I might cry for a couple of days...
But I'll come wherever you call me.
Nobody can stop me.
Standing alone? Coming with me?
Bring little cardamom. I don't feel anything tasty.
Then wash your mouth, father.
Bring it.
I didn't see you yesterday while leaving to office.
Where were you?
In my friend's house.
Take it...
See whether your uncle has finished his breakfast.
He wants to come with me.
Brother is ready. - Yes, I too.
Aren't you coming to Shobana's program?
Where? - Fine Arts?
It seems beautiful choreography.
Sanjay had given the pass in office.
Won't you come?
No you carry on.
Why are you growing lean?
What? I'm always the same.
May be it's a fashion to get slim.
Look at your aunty.
Two times... three times than you...
I have sent a letter to Guruji to come here.
He replied. He's coming next Saturday.
I'll feel peaceful talking to him.
Why don't you talk to that guy once?
Who? - Sanjay, the new Business head.
Sujatha liked him very much. Well qualified.
He was in abroad for 7 years.
Good family. - It's enough if you speak to him.
Minu will surely like him if she meets him once.
But don't know whether she'll agree to it.
She'll agree if l say.
But Sujatha was telling that Minu has an affair with that lecturer.
He's not a Brahmin.
Not only that. He has taught Minu in college.
I can't accept one who loves his own student.
Shall I invite Sanjay home?
As he's been educated from abroad, he has different policies.
He has no belief in our tradition of bride seeing ceremony.
You think and decide about it.
Bye...
Who's that? Come inside... it's open.
Why this sudden...? What's the matter?
I came just like that. I'm going to stay here from today.
Tell me what happened?
Nothing, just like that I came here.
So early? - Shouldn't I? Okay I'll go.
Stop... you can come.
I can't believe you're here...
Let me see whether it's a dream or...
Touch and see if you've doubt... touch.
You believe?
Oh!! That lady will come to clean the room.
She might think that you were here last night.
Let her. - What's this? Why to create unnecessary gossip?
Gossip! We are not kids. We have our own freedom.
Yes... tell me the truth, you've not eloped, right?
If so... - I should be responsible, right?
Your family will search for you. - Let them.
It'll be thrilling... Everybody will be searching for me...
...in police stations... in hospitals...
After sometime, I'll go back home quietly.
It's good to give them such shocks often.
Let them also understand that I too have likes and dislikes.
Get up... l'll make tea... then breakfast.
Anuradha will come now.
She has dropped me here.
She has only two classes today. Leave me, she'll come.
Leave me, I'll make tea.
Is there anything special before tea...?
Go there... l'll make tea.
Take.
Curtains look dull... I'm going to remove them.
We'll have to buy new set of curtains.
Let's the change the wall colour
...into good pastel shades.
This is not my own house. - So what? Let's tell the owner.
You've not stayed in a rental house.
We shouldn't love a rented house.
We've to love a rental house more than everything.
Okay let's take a flat on rent and not stay here...
Where's the newspaper? Let's check for classified ads.
Why now?
Are you planning to marry me after I get old?
This is the bride I'm going to marry.
Who's that? - Nobody. Shave...
How'll I apply soap if you hug me like this?
Give... l'll apply it...
Oh God! Anuradha has come.
I'll keep it here. Wipe it...
Coming...
Is there any necessity to...
Come...
Come... we were expecting you. Right?
Thinking of preparing tea again, right?
You said you'll be coming at 9.30, but why late?
Anyhow I'm here... let's go...
You've just come, sit...
Kalpana was about to leave after sometime.
Let me have bath... you sit...
You come... l've to go...
You're not in a hurry, right? - I have to go...
I'll have bath and come immediately...
No, I've to take father to the pension office.
I'll come with you... let me make tea for you.
I don't like this flat... First I've to find a good one.
That is my work tomorrow.
You look very tired... - Nothing...
I feel so... have fever?
Yes till day before... Yesterday I had taken bath.
Fever...? You never told me... let me check.
You've temperature? - Slight cold...
No problem, it was day before.
You've to go? - I'll come tomorrow.
I don't wish to live... Why to trouble everybody...
I haven't given him any happiness.
Don't worry, everything will be alright.
Spinal cord problem will not cure...
It would've been enough if I could atleast get up.
Can you get me little poison?
I would've taken it if l'd have got it...
Why for you?
I also suffer... I also sometimes feel like taking poison.
You weren't seen for two days.
I had been here yesterday also.
But I had seen you this afternoon. I know that you're coming here often.
One minute...
I bought this yesterday... You like it?
Good perfume right? - Imported?
This is for you. - Why for me?
Give her, she'll feel happy.
I've bought for her also...
Give this also to her.
I don't use perfumes.
You've any problem in taking it?
Costly one... and I don't use...
This will suit you well.
I don't want.
Where are you going?
To my aunt's house...
You earn well, why don't you take an auto?
Where are you going? - To get cool breeze just like...
Commotion in college... some strike...
I can also come with you...
Why? You are coming out to get cool breeze, right?
Don't get angry. What's wrong if I come...
Don't you have any girl friends?
Friends matching your age...
You also don't have any boy friend, right?
How do you know that?
I know that you don't have.
Are you trying for any job?
No, why to waste our energy?
Will you get a job without trying?
Vacancies will be available only if we kill many people.
Girls will easily find a job.
Many of my college mates have no jobs.
Just for a time pass you girls are looking for jobs.
You think I'm working for time pass?
Your father still gets his pension, right?
It's long since we've met... - Yes... 5 days...
Lastly I met you that day.
I was looking for a flat... - Softly...
I was looking for a flat and one is almost ready.
I'll come to know this week.
So everything is prepared.
If you don't get the nectar.
Any problem in Kalpana's house?
Even if anything happens, she'll surely come...
he has gone to her relative's house.
Let's decide after she comes.
My mind is not working without her.
Coming for tea?
So jaggery instead of nectar...
What are you talking?
You and Kalpana are different...
Shouldn't I become your friend?
I don't understand one thing in you.
It's a secret which nobody has found out.
Secret?
Don't you have any close friendship?
Yes, many...
Not that... haven't you loved anybody so far?
No... - Why?
I haven't found such a person.
Truthfully, it's because you didn't find anybody...
Or you haven't fallen in love with anybody?
Don't know.
What'll you say if a person sincerely expresses his love to you?
The way you expressed to Kalpana.
Could be a better one than me.
Are you planning to get me married?
Answer me.
Why are you asking? - Simply... to know...
I'll refuse it...
Haughty person!
Yes... l'm... l'm waiting to refuse it...
But I've not found such a person.
Both of you are the last lovers in this world.
I've seen true love between you people.
Nobody in this world loves very deeply like you both.
I lost belief in love.
I feel happy that I'm the last lover in this world...
But you're wrong. Love hasn't ended...
It only agitates the minds of humans.
But we make mistake in identifying the true love.
Have tea.
Like the blossoming flower in the night...
Like the withering leaf in the day...
Like the unwanted desires in me...
Getting vanished before fulfillment...
Some distant star...
I'm the partly wandering cloud...
Oh it's very hot! I feel like flying to England in the next flight.
Mother, it won't be tasty if you add too much of masala in the meat.
Foreigners prepare meat very tasty. Original quality of meat.
Balu, do you recognize her?
She's your aunty's daughter in Thrissur.
Anoop's sister!
You remember! How will you? You left abroad at young age.
Oh is she the one?
You've grown up.
You were this much when I saw you the first time.
You were running here and there naked.
You remember that?
She was 9 years old that time and you say she was running naked?
Mad fellow!
How old are you now?
What are you studying now?
Nearby college... Just 10 minutes walk.
Come here.
You first have your food properly.
You still look lean like I'd seen you before.
Come on have it.
Why did you bring tea? Is there nobody else?
Aunty had asked me to do it.
Did mother ask you?
You know why your aunty has sent you here?
That I should fall in love with you and marry you.
Don't talk nonsense... - Come...
You like to go to England?
But I can take you. - No I don't...
Did you think that I'm going to marry you?
You're a kid, just 15 and thinking of marriage!
When will he come back to caress me?
Come here. I want to tell you something...
I'm going out.
You needn't... Sit with me for sometime.
I've to really go.
Go after sometime.
Get me some water.
Where's mother? - Sleeping!
Get water.
Take...
Cold water! Get one more glass please.
I'm suffering from a kidney problem.
That's why I tend to drink plenty of water.
I'll feel thirsty after half an hour... Who'll give me?
I shall get you a jug full of water. - No, you sit here for sometime.
I don't get sleep now as I slept well this morning.
Let's talk for sometime, sit.
Your name...? I forget often.
What does it mean?
That never suits you.
I'm not such a person.
You're really beautiful. Has anybody told you this before?
Your nose is little big, makes your face very intense.
Only few girls will have this.
Foreign women would be jealous of you.
I'm going... - What happened?
I'm going.
Do you've any problem in sitting with me?
No. - Then why are you...
I feel to love you... come... sit quietly... don't move.
Tell me... - What...?
You don't say anything... sit quietly.
I'll love you.
Pleasant smell!
Malayalam girls adore the fragrance of divine Basil leaves.
Foreign women smell bad...
The smell of a cat...
Like the blossoming flower in the night...
Like the withering leaf in the day...
Like the desires in me...
Getting vanished before fulfillment...
Some distant star...
I'm the partly wandering cloud...
You think I'm a dirty guy?
Tell me am I the one?
Why are you silent?
I'm going to Delhi tomorrow afternoon. I've to...
And the next day to England.
I'll be back after 3 months.
I want you. Won't you come with me?
We'll get married immediately. You know why?
I'll tell father after 3 months...
I'll write letters to you... Will you reply me?
Why are you feeling shy? Tell me.
Will you reply me? I want you... please...
I won't let others touch you... You're mine only.
Like the blossoming flower in the night...
Like the withering leaf in the day...
Like the desires in me...
Like the cooling breeze...
I turned into a shattered dream...
When will he come back to caress me!
It seems Balu hates to work in England.
He's trying to go to Germany.
He has asked to convey his regards to everybody.
Only that much he has written.
Like the wick struggling in the wind...
Like the struggling waves...
Lets search in the dream...
Letter from Balu.
Call aunty. Tell her there's a letter from Balu.
It seems he had kidney problem and was admitted for 2 days.
That crazy guy will not listen if l advise him to take plenty of water.
Like the blossoming flower in the night...
Like the withering leaf in the day...
Like the desires in me...
Getting vanished before fulfillment...
Some distant star...
I'm the partly wandering cloud...
I understood that Balu hasn't loved me at all.
It was just a lust.
Nothing else beyond that.
He hasn't loved anybody.
He doesn't believe in love.
People often fall in love in movies and stories.
What is love?
Not only related to body but something beyond that.
What's it?
Like the hot sun... Like the rain...
Like the blossoming flower...
Like the Shore... Like the current in the stream...
This separation is very pleasant...
You know you adore the colour of rose!
Without a word.
Why does the full moon disappear slowly?
My dear Kalpana... I've not attended office for past 2 days.
I've not come out of the house.
You know why?
You're not allowed to step out of the house, right?
Similarly I also thought of not stepping out.
But I understood one thing.
You'll feel very hungry when you're alone.
So I made delicious fish curry and side dish.
Don't think I'm boasting... It's very tasty!
Can you come again one day as you had come earlier?
I'm not able to forget that day.
I am still smell your fragrance on my chair.
I remember you when I take the soap for shaving.
When are you coming to stay with me?
When?
I've looked for couple of flats.
Lake view flats are very nice.
I'm planning to decide after you come here.
One important thing.
I've submitted the form in the Registrar's office.
One month will be over by next 8th.
Remember, just 20 days left.
We've to get everything ready by then.
I met Anuradha sometime back.
She told me.
I met Anuradha sometimes back.
She told me... what's her problem?
Still there's some mystery...
Even if you both are together always...
...Nature is very different...
When can you come to see the flat...
Write to me tomorrow... from yours Shantanu.
What made him feel that I've been imprisoned here?
I had even gone out for shopping and watched movies too.
Men love to imagine things.
Like the lover protects the princess in a story...
My parents haven't imprisoned me.
Then why didn't you meet him?
Someone or the other is with me whenever I go out.
Shantanu never uses his mobile Whatelse can I do?
Wouldn't he have written such a sweet letter if we had met regularly?
When there are facilities for Email, SMS, etc.,
He loves to write letters.
Nobody has sent such a sweet letter to me.
How many of them have written letters to you earlier? Tell me.
I've the nature of loving people since my childhood.
I'm telling the truth.
It started when I was in 8th class.
One guy threatened that he'll commit suicide if l don't marry him.
I also threatened that I'll commit suicide if I don't marry him.
Then...
They left for Kanpur as his father got transferred.
Then he wrote many letters for couple of years.
That also stopped after sometime.
Then, when I was in 12th std... in guitar class...
How do you feel when you're in love?
Don't you know it? - Really no...
Then you should really fall in love...
Then you'll feel in this world love is not a big cause.
Means...?
You've to practice it from your childhood days.
It's enough that you've practiced to it.
Okay... What made you love Shantanu very crazily?
There's... Can't see such a good person!
You reply to him immediately. He wants it tomorrow.
Usually I write letters on behalf of you.
Better you write to him this time.
I'm not talented like you in writing letters.
Mother will come now, fast. A simple one...
Oh my God! Who's going to write letters after you people get married?
Tell me... how to address him...
As usual...
We could've taken Minu also with us.
She's sitting idle at home.
Car will be fully occupied.
Even disciples would accompany Guruji.
Minu can meet him when he comes home.
If she's also there to receive him.
Guruji likes her a lot.
Hasn't she grown up now?
Moreover this generation has no belief in Gods and Saints.
She'll change her mind if Guruji advises.
Okay go... it's time for the train to arrive.
Devotionals are at 5.30, don't forget.
It's good that you're also here.
Let me ask her infront of you.
Will you listen to me? - What?
Regarding what father discussed.
Harping on the same string!!
First listen to me. Then do whatever you like.
Just to protect your father's honour... come and sit there.
And say few words.
Your father just wants you to see the guy.
I'll tell them that you don't like the guy.
Is it to ridicule me?
You want me to answer the guy whom I don't wish to marry?
Don't we talk to our guests when they come home?
But this is different... you know it very well.
Please advise her.
What am I to advise her?
Atleast for her father's sake, make her understand.
Whatever it is... l'm not interested in this bride seeing ceremony.
Okay, who's coming?
I don't know but the one whom uncle knows very well.
The guy from uncle's office...? - I don't know exactly.
Whoever it is, he'll surely get insulted, you people too...
I tell you one thing... My marriage is already fixed.
There's no change in it.
Marriage is the matter of life... Not a joke.
It not only involves the lives of two persons.
But binds two families, relatives, well wishers etc.,
All of them should participate. - All of them will see one day.
Or you want me to be with him for his life time.
Your parents will be with you only for a day?
Why don't you understand this mother?
Whatever I try to say you.
Aunty I'll leave.
Kalpana, bye.
O Lord Krishna! O Bringer of Spring time!
O Lord of Love! O Lord!
O the Protector! O the Lord of love.
The music from your flute...
...has touched the heart of River Yamuna.
Radha is in the pain of separation...
Drenching the nights in painful tears...
O Lord Krishna! O Lord Mukunda!!
I blossomed as a flower on a tree...
and you came to swing on those branches...
Turn me as your flute O Lord Krishna!
...to attain Salvation... Come closer to me...
O Lord Krishna!! O Mukunda!
I'm watching you, you've some problem.
You very well know my problems what I am...
I don't have that capability of reading other's mind.
I couldn't control my own mind. What's the matter?
I'm mentally upset since a couple of days.
I can smell some inauspicious things.
These are quite natural in human life.
You think I can help you out from that with my prayers and hymns?
You've to help us out in Minu's case.
What happened to her? - Her marriage is not yet fixed.
How old is she? - 23!
Oh 23?! Has she grown up? I still imagine her as a kid.
Please advise her.
You want a bachelor like me to advise her regarding marriage?
She'll surely obey you.
None of the couples whom I had blessed are happy in life.
But they still bring their children and their families for my advise.
People are more superstitious.
I can't change the fate.
We're looking for good proposals.
But she wants to marry on her choice.
She thinks independently. Not wrong. You've to agree to it.
Hindu tradition accepts love marriage.
What does the groom do?
He's not a Brahmin. - Oh that's a very big problem!
Knowing whether I'm Brahmin or not you've accepted me as Guruji?
Don't you know, there are many non-brahmin Saints?
When you could accept this non-brahmin as your Guruji?
Why can't you accept him as your son-in-law?
But Minu is very ignorant She doesn't know about good.
If she's ignorant now, then she'll be the same throughout her life.
You're responsible for bringing her up ignorantly?
Understand one thing.
In the teenage all expect freedom.
Will the birds stay in their nests when they get the ability to fly?
Nobody can stop the teenage.
And also not care about consequences.
It's a long time since I've come here, come.
Where were you? - I was preparing for devotionals.
Then I thought of meeting you after food.
Even Gods can't read women's mind.
Then how can you expect mere mortal do it?
Live long!
O lord!
I think she's going to be in danger.
You should not be the cause of it.
Why are you standing on the way?
I want to tell you something.
I've nothing to say and I already told you not to talk to me.
Why are you always getting angry? I need to...
Not at all... move away.
You've to contribute Rs.200 - Why?
For the party? - Why should I? Rs.200!
All of them in this flat should donate.
Better give and then leave.
Why should I give for your party?
Will you take it forcibly?
No, it's not the policy of our party.
It's better for you to give it.
I can give only Rs.10 or 20.
You think I'm collecting money for my father's ceremony?
It's for the public welfare.
Leave my hand.
What's happening here? What happened, Anu?
You better go.
Leave my hand... I've seen many like you.
I had also seen many women like you.
Leave her hand.
What's this nonsense? Leave her hand.
Don't try to act smart.
Tell me what's the problem?
You always watch the passers-by with open doors.
That won't happen here.
Who are you to decide whether I've to close.
Whom are they fighting with?
I don't know... Let's vacate and go elsewhere.
I don't like to live here.
I'll go mad if I stay here anymore.
Where's Kalpana? No news about her since some time.
She's not answering phone calls too.
I paid advance for the flat.
We've to register our marriage in a week.
If there's no news of her. - She'll come day after.
You met her. - No I talked over the phone.
Why didn't she reply to my letter?
Might be busy with her father, Guruji etc.,
Guruji...? He might change her mind?
Might be they're trying for it? - What prayer!!
Don't worry No Guruji can change your Kalpana's mind.
She's intelligent.
Couldn't you still understand her?
Kalpana will come day after... You remember?
Won't you come? - No.
I've some other work. Are you meeting each other to talk to me?
Don't you've own plans and programs?
No, please come. - No, I can't come.
I'll come the day when you get registered.
That you can't avoid coming, right?
If Kalpana doesn't come that day, I'll surely go and bring her from home.
That's what I wanted.
Why are you sitting in darkness, father?
Don't switch on the lights... You come here.
Are you going out? - Going out with aunty.
Why you called me? - To talk with you.
Where's mother? - She must be downstairs.
She's not keeping good health.
She faints sometimes, suffers from wheezing.
You don't worry. Mother is alright.
You sit here.
Do you like to hear a story?
Yes, its long time since you told me.
It was a stormy night... I forgot the year and month.
It may be 25 years back.
Story of a husband and wife.
There was no car in their house.
Wife had delivery pain at midnight.
Didn't find a taxi too.
It was raining and road was flooded with water.
Wife was struggling with pain.
That poor lady's face turned blue.
Finally she was taken to a jeep which came that way.
Doctor advised for operation immediately.
But either mother or child will only survive.
Mother will die if child is saved.
After hearing this story, I know you'll not forgive me.
I told the doctor I want mother and not the child.
She heard it.
She was half conscious and asked to save the child.
When she came out from the operation theatre after 3 hours
...white cloth was wrapped on her body...
...lying like a corpse...
When I was standing there crying...
A nurse told me it was a baby girl.
I just felt like killing the baby that moment
...Not knowing whether Alagu was alive...
Doctor Banerjee had saved her.
After couple of hours... Alagu regained her consciousness.
She asked for her baby first.
She didn't wish to see me... but you...
Oh you wished to kill me, right?
Anyway you didn't kill me.
You were like a cat I've not expected you would be so pretty.
Your mother had only saved you.
Why did you tell me this now?
You tell me the reason for telling you this.
Tell me yourself.
Don't hurt your mother... Hurt me if you wish.
I don't intend to hurt anybody.
But you people are stubborn. - Are we?
Don't you know me, father?
You think I'll do anything foolish.
You think that we'll guide you in wrong path?
For your good only.
You could've killed me that day itself.
Why are you crying, Minu? What's this foolishness!
Mother! You promised to accept my wish, right?
I... - Listen to me... I'll only marry Shantanu.
It's my final decision No change in it.
You'll have to suffer if you bring any changes.
Then don't blame me.
You can marry Shantanu if you love him.
I'll convince your father.
But you should've some patience.
You've bad time for 6 months... Guruji has predicted.
If you give up your stubbornness my bad time will disappear.
What a crazy girl! She's eager to get married!
You get married to that Professor.
Being a wife of a Professor.
He's not a Professor... He was just teaching for sometime.
Okay. He's said to be a Professor only.
Even if he becomes Minister, MLA or MP.
Hell with her Professor!!
Why police and people have surrounded there?
He has come to inquire Anjan regarding a case.
It seems police has found material for making bombs.
He's a graduate. What's the use!
What's his name?
My aunty's sister's son's name is also Shantanu.
A lean guy... with squint eyes...
You've to hear his voice... I immediately remembered him.
The counter girl who's in the Handloom house.
She's also Sujatha... Dark... stout with big eyes.
Your name immediately makes me remember her.
Tease.
Where do you meet Shantanu?
We don't have an exact place.
In Public garden, restaurants, Anuradha also would be with us.
Anu also? 3 of you roam together?
So what?
Before her... are you... - So what?
I couldn't understand this generation.
You said shopping, then why did you come to beach?
I wanted to... Let's talk and enjoy cool breeze.
Anyhow both of you are going to get married.
Nobody will object anymore.
What's wrong if you meet a person before that?
Who?
He wants to talk to you.
Just casually. - Who?
Let it be anybody. You've to talk to him.
I'm also there.
Driver, stop the car.
You go.
What does this mean? Why did you send the car?
I'm going home.
Atleast for your uncle's sake... don't create a scene...
He said he'll wait here, so I brought you here.
Who?
Is he the one?
Yes, Sanjay Shenoy... a great person...
Let me ask him... Oh God... Minu.
Didn't you get my letter? - Have you?
Yes... - Then why?
You didn't expect my reply, right?
I didn't but expected for something else.
I just acted the way as you wished.
You asked me not to come and I did
...and not even told anybody about the letter.
You've revealed it.
I've no problem if you come to my home or not.
Frankly speaking, I wanted to meet you atleast once.
Just to convey my admiration and congratulate you.
I've not seen the determination and courage in any girl other than you.
Now you've seen me? Good bye.
I'll drop you.
You sit at front.
You can talk, right? I'll sit at the back.
Yes, can't talk that way.
Why are you silent, Kalpana? May be angry?
I too don't believe in tradition of bride seeing ceremony.
All of my friends in England have got married.
Now I'm forced to.
I read your letter. I wanted to meet you.
Particularly those last lines that wish I may get good life and good wife.
Don't have wrong opinions of me.
What's bothering you?
Just take it as curiosity.
Won't the scars disappear?
Gradually there won't be any marks.
She'll look pretty like before.
It's good that nothing big has happened.
Should thank God.
Had it hit against the lorry. Can't even imagine it.
You're not hurt, right?
I was sitting behind, right?
Poor Sanjay! He broke his hand and injured his leg too.
He's mentally upset.
All happened because of his driving.
We should go and see him. In which hospital is he?
I'm Shantanu... I want to see Kalpana.
Kalpana, its me. How do you feel now?
That day I...
No, I don't want to see you... Please go...
I think it's good not to disturb her.
You're right.
What's this foolishness? - No, I'm right.
Are you mad? Still not late.
It's late... cards are printed.
I'll come home and invite your personally.
Shopping is almost over. I've not bought the bridal sari.
Let's go and buy it. - I won't.
You won't... you've to...
Why were you so cruel?
What's there to say... I did whatever is right.
So, you were wrong before?
Are you not free tomorrow afternoon?
I'll come to take you out for shopping.
I won't come.
Won't you give me any present? - Hell with your...
I won't come to your marriage also.
You'll surely come to my marriage.
Otherwise I'll myself come home and take you.
First stop this... listen to me... Shantanu wants to see you.
He wants to know the reason from you.
Will you atleast come once to meet him?
I'll invite him sending a card to him.
Won't you also tell him to attend my marriage?
Don't be crazy... Are you coming or not?
Oh my dear! Sit here.
How can I show my ugly face to Shantanu?
Shantanu's Kalpana is no more.
The Kalpana's photo which he has on its mirror... looks good.
Don't make me angry.
What has happened to you? Got hurt your cheeks?
That'll become alright.
I don't want anybody's sympathy.
It's my fault... I can't...
Is it out of sympathy? Is there no love?
Love might also fail in such a situation.
Okay bye.
Poor guy! You hurt him severely.
He'll come out of it in a couple of days.
What can I do if he gets too much worried?
See! How many of them are happy now?
My parents, uncle and aunty. That's good, right?
Or eloping stealthily and getting married?
Didn't you think of this earlier? They all...
What am I to do?
I started realizing only after the accident.
Sanjay is a very good person than you think.
Like Shantanu... Sit here...
Would I've got all this if I had eloped?
Look at this Kashmiri silk! This is imported from Japan.
What's this... - Got injured in the accident.
Once upon a time my toes were very beautiful...
Now they look very ugly.
Don't take it so serious... It'll get cured immediately.
No. it'll not.
It'll... when this nail grows... it'll become alright.
Even if not, what's your problem?
Problems are there... Many problems are there.
You'll not understand if I tell you.
Kalpana will not come.
Won't she come forever?
Yes...
Okay bye. It's getting late.
I've to go out.
you took so much trouble for me, right? - No.
Where are you going? - To my house.
I'm taking a different route. - What's your plan?
Are you going to grow beard and roam like a dejected lover?
No such plans... Not a dejected lover...
...but one who has failed in love.
Now I understand why those fail in love commit suicide.
It wasn't because that they don't get their girls.
But only because of pride that they are men.
Kalpana has lost in her love and not you.
She couldn't respect and understand love.
Finally her mind also got disturbed.
Whatever it may be I don't know.
Shall I tell you something?
Did Kalpana ever love me?
Or... was it a game... then why did she...
Even I couldn't understand her properly.
Even I didn't take efforts to understand who Kalpana truly is.
We've not talked to each other
...only letters spoke between us...
Shall I tell you the truth, Anu?
She writes letters well.
I'll miss those letters now.
I'm really upset that relationship between you both has broken.
I feel I've lost in a challenge. - Challenge?
I had an opinion that true love is lost in this world.
But if you had succeeded, my belief would've been restored.
Because of Kalpana, I too lost.
You had a wrong opinion.
People keep on making mistakes regarding love.
Love still exists. I've not yet lost that belief.
You've to be happy forever.
Why do you feel so?
It's getting dark, let's move.
I too wish to get out from here.
Are you quitting your job?
I'm trying to get transferred to Bangalore branch.
Are you going to become a Saint?
I wanted to tell you something before I leave.
I'm not sure how Kalpana's separation would affect me.
But your absence has affected me a lot.
Because I had spoken to you more than with her.
You know what I feel now.
That it wasn't Kalpana whom I had loved truly.
You remember the day you came to my flat.
I had fever couple of days back.
Kalpana couldn't guess being with me for such a long time.
But you immediately asked me whether I had fever.
I couldn't realize it that day.
That tolerance is love.
Sorry to hurt you... I expressed whatever I felt.
I'll leave... It's getting late.
Don't you realize that the spring is swinging this way...
Don't you realize the fragrance of memories is filled here...
Even if realize...
Won't the spring really come!!!!
You're the star which appears when clouds disappear...
What if we dream together in the coming nights?
Words are gradually becoming speechless...
When your azure eyes fills with tears...
I'll become the hanky to wipe them...
Let's turn this life into a new poem...
