Mother! Brother and sister-in-law have arrived!
Many congratulations to you on your son's marriage.
Congratulations!
Bless you!
May you have a happy married life!
Let's go, sister-in-law.
We should be leaving now. Greetings. - Greetings.
Sister-in-law!
My name is Chander. - And I'm Asha.
Why' re you standing there? Come here.
He's Ketan. - Greetings.
We've come to ask you something. - Go ahead.
Will you tell us some nice stories?
Does your brother narrate stories? - Yes.
Then I too will narrate stories. - We hope you won't beat us.
Does your brother beat you? - No.
Then I too won't beat you.
Will you do as brother does? Why so?
Because I'm a shadow of your brother.
How can you be a shadow? A shadow is dark, and you're fair-complexioned.
You are right, Asha. Since she is fair-complexioned...
she isn't a shadow, but the light of our household.
Go to sleep now, children.
They're lovely children. Looks like you are very attached to Ketan.
Yes. Actually, Ketan isn't my real brother.
I'd brought him home. Ketan knows about all this.
I don't ever want him to feel that he's an orphan.
One who is protected by an angel like you, can never be an orphan.
Greetings, madam Parvati. - It's you, Sethji?
You got your son married on the sly. You didn't even invite me.
So I thought of coming over to congratulate you on my own.
Mere congratulations won't do. I won't leave without taking my money.
Speak slowly. Daughter-in-law might hear you.
Let her hear me. She should also know that...
the home she has married into, is neck-deep in my debts.
We are surely your debtors. But believe me...
We are more concerned about the repayment than you are.
Allow us some more time. We'll repay all your money.
I've given you enough time.
Then we too are helpless, sir. You may do as you please.
In that case, you had better understand...
Your nuptial night will pass on the footpath, not in this home.
No, sir. Please don't do that! I beg of you. I fall at your feet.
Mother...
You should rather fall at God's feet...
who listens to everybody's prayer.
What's the use of bowing before a person...
for whom money is the only God.
Here you are, sir.
What' re you doing, Savitri?
If our family loses respect, whafll I do with these ornaments?
Allow me to go ahead.
Here you are, sir. The debts are clear now.
Wonderful! This is how a daughter-in-law ought to be.
She cleared all your debts the moment she set foot into the house.
Savitri, now you can celebrate to your heart's content.
Daughter-in-law!
Daughter-in-law, you are no less than a Goddess.
Today you have protected not just this family, but womanhood too.
I'm fully convinced that...
you will never let the family lose its self-respect.
Mother!
'In God lies the Truth'
Where did they take mother away? Where has mother gone?
Mother has gone to God. - We'll also go to Him.
No, dear. We cannot go to Him.
Those who go to God, never come back.
But God can do everything.
Then why doesn't He send back those whom he calls to Himself?
I will go to God. - No, Asha.
From today, I'm mother for all of you.
Mother!
They have slept with great difficulty.
They were crying constantly asking me to bring back their mother.
Where should I bring mother?
They're kids, after all. They will forget her after a few days.
They'll start treating you like their mother.
Then promise me something. - What is it?
I'll treat your promise as a gift from you on the wedding night.
I will never give a birth to a child.
How could you ask for this?
Motherhood is the most cherished dream of a woman.
That dream has been fulfilled.
I've become the mother of these children now.
I don't want to divide my maternal affection...
...by giving birth to another child.
You are the epitome of affection and sacrifice.

1...2...3...4...
Dad, what's this? - Milk, what else?
When did I say it is water? But why 4 drops?
I wonder whose child was born in my home.
If one can make do with 4 drops of milk, why put any more?
If ever there is a competition of the world's misers...
you would surely win the prize as a world champion.
I will at least win the prize of being a world champion.
You won't get even that!
I've had it.
Shall I go?
Were you a dog in your last birth that you start wagging your tail...
the moment you hear your wife's voice?
Shall I go? - Aren't you ashamed?
I am. A bit.
He surely isn't my progeny. Definitely not.
Here's the towel, Sheela.
What' re you doing? No, no!
Dad! - What is it?
Were you bathing with your clothes on?
The hand pump has broken down.
The handle broke while I was moving it.
Fool! If you cannot start a hand pump, how will you live your life?
My father's old clothes are kept in that cupboard there.
Wear them, or you will catch a cold! - Cold... in this house?
Even beggars are afraid of passing by our home. How can I catch a cold?
What did you say? - Nothing.
Dad! - I've had it!
Give me 2,000 rupees. - 2 trousers?
But you are already wearing a sari. Why do you need 2 trousers?
2000 rupees, I said. - 2000 rupees? Whatever for?!
I had brought a dowry of a hundred thousand rupees in my marriage.
You've kept that money.
You'll have pay me interest at the rate of 2 per cent per month.
Else what? - Else...
I'll pour kerosene on your son and burn him alive.
You are being very cruel and unjust.
If you must burn him, put some grass or paper on him.
Why cause losses to me by pouring kerosene on him?
It's okay if I'm burned down. It won't do if kerosene is lostl?
I'll find a son like you anywhere. But where will I get kerosene from?
Don't you know? Cost of living has increased manifold?
Are you giving me money or aren't you? - I will give you.
You son of a thief!
Will a thousand do? - I want 2000.
Here you are!
Bring my breakfast to my room. - Right away.
Shall I go? - You're under oath to your dad.
Tell me, whose progeny are you? - What do you think?
Get lost.
God, do You know whose son he is? You don't? I don't know either.
Dad, the visa and passport formalities have been completed.
I've to submit just 15,000 rupees.
Today is such a cursed day. Everybody's asking for money.
But I'll earn money and return the the money to you with interest!
Everybody says that, but nobody returns it.
As it is, 4 hundred thousand are due on you. Return that to me first.
Which 4 hundred thousand rupees? - Ever since you were born...
I've spent 4 hundred thousand rupees on bringing you up.
I've written all the details in the accounts book. Get me that money!
Is it not possible that you go to America, get educated...
and then you come back. Then I pay you 15,000 rupees.
Just like goods arrive first. And only then we release the consignment.
I haven't seen anybody who is as possessive about money as you are.
You haven't, have you? See me today. Have you seen me? Go now.
He wants 15,000 rupees!
Hey, it's you, Amar?
Can't you see where you are going? Hasn't God given you eyes...
that you run into anybody like an uncontrolled truck?
How am I to be blamed?
If you rush at the speed of 100 kilometers an hour...
an accident is inevitable.
Actually, the signal is the cause for this accident.
Neither did you notice the signal...
nor did she, and the accident happened.
When are you leaving for America? - The day after tomorrow.
Have you come to seek our blessings? - No, not yours...
but brother's and sister-in-laws. - Go ahead. They are both in there.
Let's go.
Where were you for 4 days? - You know that...
I'm going to America. I was busy with that work.
Didn't you find even a few minutes to meet me?
I found the time today. So I came to meet you.
Where will you arrange so much of money from?
Where else? I'll pledge our house. - No! I won't let you do that.
When we had pledged it once, mother had to lose her life.
Why don't you understand?
For a woman, her home is a temple...
where she can light the lamp of her faith...
She confronts hardships under the light of hope.
I beg of you. Don't even think of pledging this home.
You are under oath to me.
You've given such a big oath for such a minor thing.
All right, I won't pledge it. Happy?
Brother!
Welcome, Amar. How are you? - I'm leaving for America...
the day-after-tomorrow. I came to seek your blessings.
Bless you.
Bless you. Become a great doctor before you return from America.
But do return!
Offer some tea to Amar. I'm leaving. - Asha, get some tea for Amar.
Dhanraj, you ask for an advance every month.
It's not the done thing.
I need it badly this time, sir.
I've got to send my brothers to the hostel for their education.
Why must you educate your brothers by raising loans?
Why don't you get them to discontinue their studies?
Don't say that, sir. They are not just my brothers, they are my sons.
To better their future, I can even beg for money, if need be.
All right.
But this time I won't deduct just 100 rupees per month.
I'll deduct half your salary.
I don't mind that. But please fulfill my need this time.
Go and take the money from the cashier.
Bless you, children. And come back successfully.
Here's the money for you. - Brother...
We know what hardships you are going through to educate us.
Half your income is spent on both of us.
You people are my real income.
Once you make your life after your education...
I'll assume that I have achieved everything.
Brother, we won't leave any stone unturned in realizing your dreams.
I expect that from you.
Here's food for both of you.
And take care at the hostel. - All right, sister-in-law.
Bless you.
Asha! Why' re you crying? - After all, we are going away.
She's weeping because there won't be anybody to fight with...
...after we are gone. - All right, we won't go.
I'm not stopping you from going.
But what if you people don't come on the 'Rakshabandhan Day'?
How can we not come? - We will come to our sister...
...walking on our heads to get you to tie 'rakhi' to us.
Come on... give us a smile!
You want to see Miss Chanda, and I don't want to be a hurdle.
I've only one request to you.
When you are fully happy, donate whole-heartedly...
for the new building of our college...
for which this charity show has been organized.

Didn't you like the dance? - I liked it.
And the song? - I liked that too.
And I? - Do you have anything else to say?
Chander, the more I try to come closer to you...
the more you run away from me. What do I lack, after all?
It's I who lacks it, not you.
You will have to tell me why you're doing this to me?
Can one hold an entire ocean in a glass?
We can't, can we? It'll spill over, won't it?
I have a small house. You won't be able to fit into that.
What do you mean? - I mean...
You are a millionaire's daughter. And I belong to a poor family.
We cannot be compared to each other.
How are you, Vicky?
You were praising Chanda a lot today. - And you've squared the account!
Why do you insult the poor girl?
Why' re you feeling sympathetic towards that poor girl?
Your heart is okay, I hope.
It's you who isn't okay.
Tell me... what makes her go crazy over you?
Simple. One day...
Help!
After that incident, she began falling in love with me.
It's possible that the incident could've been the cause of love.
Moreover, what's wrong with her?
Chanda is educated, beautiful, rich. Why don't you marry her?
Don't be foolish.
The economic conditions of my family won't permit me...
to fulfill Chandefs needs.
She's used to air-conditioned rooms and velvety beds.
She won't be able to live in my little house.
Moreover, when one has to manage with plain bread, rather than goodies...
they forget everything about love.
It's possible that she could adjust to your poverty.
She loves you immensely.
Love is not only blind, but crazy too.
Sometimes people even give up their lives in their craziness.
Forget it. It holds good only in theory.
What's this?
The fate of this flower too is like mine.
This flower too is dying to be a garland around somebody's neck.
I'll make do with you whatever the conditions.
Accept me. I can't take it any longer.
I've told you several times that it is impossible.
Then listen to my last decision.
If you don't accept my love today, I'll leap to death.
"Love is not only blind, but crazy too"
"Sometimes people even give up their lives in their craziness"
"My beloved is so flamboyant, I will dance for that"
"My beloved is a colorful man; I will dance for him"

"With love in his eyes, he says sweet-nothings to me"
"There's a smile on my lips; like a blossoming rose"
"He professes his love for me; he makes me feel so very shy"
"Where will I go?"
"My lover is so flamboyant, I will dance for him"
"He's so very colorful; I will dance for him"

"They will call me and ask me about my beloved"
"I won't say anything, I will hide everything from them, I feel scared"
"I feel scared"
"My lover is so very flamboyant, I will dance for him"
"He's so very colorful; I will dance for him"
"From behind the kohl-filled eyes, I will feel shy"
"My lover is flamboyant, I will dance for him"
"He's so very colorful, I will dance for him"
"My lover is so very flamboyant, I will dance for him"
"He's so very colorful, I will dance for him"
Where' re you, Savitri? - I'm right here.
But where have you been till so late in the night?
That loan I took from my boss for the kids's studies...
the boss said he'd deduct half my salary towards my loan.
I said he very well could.
That's not the answer to my question. I've been noticing for many days...
you return late every night. Where do you stay back so long?
There were these folks bothering me to do their assignments.
I was so fed up, I decided to give each of them some of my time.
It means you have started working part-time too?
Here you are.
You care for everybody, but not for your health.
God forbid, if something happens to you, what will happen of me?
Whatever happened is in the past.
But you will give up these part-time jobs.
No part-time jobs. No studies for Ketan and Chander.
I won't even think about Asha's marriage... eh?
Sir, it's 1O o'clock. Won't you be going home?
Here's your payment for the stitching. Goodbye.
Greetings. - Greetings.
What's all this?
People in the neighborhood were asking me to stitch their clothes.
I too got fed up and agreed to their wish.
You are giving it back to me? - After all, I'm your wife.
Tell me, with me around, who gave you the permission to do all this?
Why? Does this house belong only to you?
Do you alone bear a responsibility towards the family?
If you can slog round the clock for the family's well-being...
have I no responsibility? - But...
No ifs and buts. Whatever I'm doing is right.
All right. Do as you wish. - Listen...
There's a letter from Ketan. - What does he write?
They've asked for 4,000 rupees for his examinations.
Where will we arrange for so much of money from?
"The skies insist on striking the earth with lightning"
"And I insist that I will have a dwelling here"
I have noticed you stop studying for the past few days...
and find you concentrating elsewhere.
Are you reading that from the book?
This is not something trivial. You know very well that...
brother and sister-in-law have been educating us with great difficulty.
They have all their hopes pinned on us.
And you want to destroy their hopes by falling in love?
I haven't done anything to destroy their hopes.
As for my studies, I'm very much into it.
Ketan, my love can never be an obstacle to my studies.
Chander, love allows nothing else to thrive, once it takes root.
Besides, for these rich girls...
love is nothing but an object of amusement.
No, Ketan. Chanda is not like those girls. She genuinely loves me.
Brother, you can't trust friends when you're broke...
like you can't trust girls in matters of love.
You are an intelligent man.
Ah, yes! You're so delighted to have found your love.
But you mustn't forget our sister.
It's 'Rakshabandhad tomorrow and we must go there. Okay?
"O sister, I will preserve the solemnity of this rakhi"
"O sister, I will preserve the solemnity of your rakhi"
"I will never forget you"
"O sister, I will preserve the sanctity of your rakhi"
"I have this dream, day in and day out"
"To have your bridal procession come to our house"
"I have this dream, day in and day out"
"To have your bridal procession come to our courtyard"
"I will shower you with pearls and diamonds"
"And do up your palanquin with the moon and the stars"
"O sister, I will preserve the honor of your rakhi"
"We are all flowers of the same branch"
"We love each other more than our lives"
"We are all flowers of the same branch"
"We love each other more than our lives"
"The bonds of love, this string of affection"
"How will any of us be able to sever this?"
"O sister, I will protect the honor of your rakhi"
"Whether you live close-by, or go some distant place"
"May you always smile like this"
"Whether you live close-by, or go some distant place"
"May you always smile like this"
"Should you be coming to any harm..."
"I wouldn't hesitate in laying down my life"
"O sister, I will protect the honor of your rakhi"
"Your brother will never forget you"
"O sister, I will protect the honor of your rakhi"
Whenever I miss you very much, I kiss your photograph.
First it was Romeo; now it is Juliet who's sad.
What an age we live in, by God!
When did you arrive, Sheela? - Many years ago.
But I've disturbed you at the wrong time.
Forget it. Tell me, how are you? - I'm okay.
But since when have you been doing this?
You fell in love on the sly, and didn't even tell me?
You got married on the sly, too. And didn't even invite me.
That happened in haste. But don't be upset with me.
I've brought sweetmeats for you. - All right. I've forgiven you.
Tell me, how's your husband? - Just like I wanted him to be.
A slave to my orders! If I ask him to sit down, he readily sits down.
If I ask him to stand up, he most willingly stands up!
You mean you make him dance to your tunes?
Of course. If I didn't make him dance to my tunes...
he would've made me dance to his tunes.
Do you know what his name is? - What is his name?
Bahadur (the brave one)!
Bahadur's accounts are always perfect.
Here's the money for the stitching.
And these are the clothes. Quickly complete the stitching.
You take so much of trouble for us. - What's so troublesome about this?
I'm no different from Chander and Ketan, am I?
Well... where is it?
Sister-in-law...
Make some blouses with this cloth. - For whom?
For Sheela.
You love Sheela very much, don't you?
The husband has to look after the wife.
I'm her only support now. If I don't, who else will look after her?
You're right.
Stitch the blouse, won't you? - Sure, I will.
I'm leaving.
Are you in a hurry, Bahadur? - Yes, I'm already late.
I've no time to sit down. I've got to go home.
Sheela musfve returned, too.
Why? Are you scared of your wife? - Who's scared? I ?!
In fact, she's the one who's scared of me.
When she sees my eyes turning red with anger, she is terrified.
Hearing my footsteps, she trembles as if...
the earth were hit by an earthquake.
What happened? - Nothing happened.
It's not nice to keep your wife terrified like this.
You are right.
But what good is a man who can't control his wife?
If I ask her to stand in the hot sunshine...
she will keep standing all day.
Know what my name is? Bahadur (the brave one)!
She has arrived! - Has she? Where is she?
You are scaring me!
Pinky's hand has been burnt. Come soon.
Sir, I've brought the files. - Keep it there.
Sir... I want to say something to you.
What is it? Hurry up! - I need some money.
My daughter has burnt her hand and you're worried about money!
Even a dog is ashamed of eating when it finds everything for the asking.
Should you ask for an advance again, I will dismiss you from the job.
What's the matter? You look very sad.
You know that the kids will be returning the day after tomorrow.
I haven't yet been able to arrange for their fees.
I tried all day.
People are so very heartless.
Why must one crib about anybody? That's the way things are.
People always shy away from the needy.
Here, pawn these. - What's this?
These are the symbols of your marriage.
Whom will the symbol of my marriage help, if not my husband?
But with the money we get from this, we can educate only one of them.
It will be either Ketan or Chander.
Let Chander can stay back. And let Ketan continue his studies.
Ketan mustn't feel that we let your real brother be educated...
and neglected him because he's not a blood relative.
Yes, you are right.
Don't worry. You will recover completely.
I don't regret I'm dying...
because I know that my death is imminent.
We are indebted to you folks.
I'm leaving one more burden on you.
After I'm gone, my Ketan...
What has happened to my mother? Why doesn't she speak?
From today, I'm your mother, and I'm your father.
Do something quickly, doctor. The pain is unbearable.
Don't worry, dear. You will recover soon.
Give him these pills with some cold milk. He'll feel relieved.
Doctor, what's afflicting him? - Nothing can be said for sure.
We'll have to take X-rays of his stomach. Take care of his diet.
What's the matter, doctor? - Ketan is very ill.
Is it very bad? - Yes, brother.
Be patient, son. Everything will be fine.
You have go back tomorrow.
I don't think I'll be able to go. You'd rather send Chander.
No, Ketan. I'm not going anywhere without you.
How can you say such things, Chander?
Brother and sister-in-law have endured so many hardships...
to see that their hopes are realized. Do you want their hopes dashed?
But...'_>
You're under oath to me.
Where do you disappear all day?
I'll tell you later. First shut your eyes.
Why? - You have never done what I say!
First shut your eyes. - Here you are.
Now bring your hand forward. Together.
From where did you get so much of money?
I've taken up a job. - A job?
I thought I would give my first salary to you.
But then, I was reminded of your empty wrists.
You made such a big sacrifice for Chandefis sake?
Chander has the first right to this home.
May God take him from success to success.
As for me, I was an orphan. You folks gave me a home.
You have given me so much of affection.
I pray to God that I may serve you and brother all my life.
I know you're upset with me. - No, I'm angry at myself.
You had to give up your studies and take up a job because of me.
The symbol of my wife's marriage had to be pledged because of me.
Brother! - I continued to see dreams...
all my life. I continued to live on dreams.
And all I could ever give all of you were just dreams too.
What else could I offer you, except for my dreams?
Brother, your dreams have inspired us.
And then, it's time for your dreams to be realized.
Just pray that Chander makes the grades with good marks.
I've been searching for you all over the college...
and you are sitting here? - Why? What happened?
You have got a first class first! - Really?
Here, look at the paper. - I have the paper with me, too.
Which page is it? - Look here!
It even carries my photograph!
I've stood first!
Come with me. I've got to take you to somebody.
This is Chander, mother. He has stood first in the entire University.
Greetings. - Congratulations, son.
My brother and sister-in-law deserve these congratulations.
This is the result, not of my studies, but of their hard work and sacrifice.
I should be leaving. - Have some sweetmeats, dear.
I will have the sweetmeats later.
Brother and sister-in-law must be waiting for me anxiously.
Do return soon.
Tell me the truth, mom. What do you think of Chander?
He's a very nice boy. He's brilliant in studies too.
He has stood first in the University.
We do need such a promising boy. - Really, mother?
Bravo, dear.
Hear that? Didn't I say that Chander would shine like the sun?
Distribute loads of sweetmeats in the neighborhood. Rejoice!
Chander has made his grades! He'll become a big officer now.
There will be loads of happiness.
You don't have to stitch clothes any more.
Sister-in-law now doesn't even need to work in the kitchen.
Because first we will get Chander married.
We'll celebrate, dance and sing.
What say, Asha? - Yes, brother.
Ketan was telling us. Did your love story make any progress?
Little devil!
Where are you going?!
You? - Why? Shouldn't I have come?
Why not? Please come in.
They're my brother and sister-in-law. And she is...
I'm Chandefs mother. - Chanda?
Chander and Chanda study at the college.
I see. Please sit down.
What brings you here?
Chander praises you folks very much.
You have managed his studies with great hardships.
It was our duty.
You musfve spent a lot of money on Chandefis education.
We've spent our sleep and comfort.
We have raised him with our blood and sweat.
But why do you ask?
I own a lot of property. I have several farms.
But I have only one daughter. I've raised her with a lot of affection.
She likes Chander very much. If you don't mind...
I want to hand over all my businesses to Chander.
So you want to buy off Chander? - No...
I want Chander to lead a royal life. - You see...
It's not our custom to splurge on our in-laws wealth.
We've imparted good values to Chander. And good education, too.
And why should you worry about Chander? We are here for him.
Please don't mind. I'm not selfish.
I only said it for my daughter's future.
Which mother wouldn't like to see her daughter happy?
A daughter's happiness lies not in wealth...
but in the respect her husband commands.
We are badly off economically, no doubt.
But we have never compromised our self-respect.
You've seen the condition of our house.
Despite this, if your daughter wants to live here...
we approve of the alliance.
But I don't approve of this alliance.
What' re you saying? - I'm right.
I could never have imagined that...
you'd come to our home and insult us. How could you think that...
I'd be taken in by your wealth and leave my brother and sister-in-law?
It's their love you will find in every drop of my blood.
I can give up all heavenly pleasures, but not my brother and sister-in-law.
Please go away.
Well said, son. You have stood first in the University exams.
You've passed my test too.
Now I'm convinced that...
this is a family which is so affectionate towards each other.
My daughter will never be sad here.
I approve of this alliance.
I should be leaving.
Yes.
We've finalized the alliance with such a big family.
But how will we do it?
Besides, I'm in a dilemma, because you have made me promise...
not to pledge this house. Else, we could've made ornaments...
for our daughter-in-law by pledging this house.
We would've got them married with great pomp.
I've come to you with great hopes.
Only you can offer me financial help.
Where do I have the money, Savitri? I don't have any.
You are misunderstanding me. I want not a small amount...
but at least a hundred thousand.
What' re you saying? Listening to you, my heart is sinking!
As security, I will pledge my ancestral home.
You should've said this before.
Have you brought the documents? - Yes, here it is.
Then the money is ready too. Put your signature here.
Where have I to sign? - Here. I'll fill the blanks.
Where had you been?
You return at this hour everyday. Did I ever question you?
Tell me... Where had you been?
I went to pledge your promise and buy happiness for my son.

You're feeling so shy! As if we're meeting for the first time.
Surely it's our first night. But we know each other very well.
Come on... both of us have been married, not me alone.
I've been blabbering, but you are silent!
You were so sharp-tongued before marriage.
But what's happened now, madam? - Brother!
I think sister-in-law is dumb. - What' re you doing here, Asha?
Brother will keep on blabbering all night. Let me lift your veil.
She's so naughty!
I don't like such silly behavior.
Never mind. She's just a kid. And she's our darling!
Whatever it be...
but I won't tolerate anyone standing between us.
Don't be angry. It's our nuptial night.
You shouldn't be doing this tonight. - Then what should I be doing?
Making love.
Careful.
What happened? - Careful.
I am in for some good luck. Looks like the old man has died.
What's happened to him? - Nothing.
He had gone to the Seth's house for dinner.
He ate so much that... - What happened?
See him one last time.
You mean he isn't dead yet? - What do you mean?
I know him very well. This is one old cunning man.
He's not going to die merely by eating.
You are saying such a thing for your father?
You are committing a sin. - Let's place a bet.
If this old man dies today, I'll gift you a Maruti car.
What did you say? - A Maruti car!
Is that a promise? - Yes.
I'm leaving my address. If he dies, send the car to my house.
Let's go. - Yes, I'll send the car then.
What's the matter? Why' re you screaming?
How did this old man get blown? Did he drown in the food?
What happened to him? - Distribute sweets. Light lamps.
This old man is going to die today. - What?
Now we will buy a car, a bungalow, we will buy the whole world.
Everything will happen as per your wishes.
Is it your father's rule? - Keep quiet, will you?
You are shocked, aren't you? I'm not going to die so soon.
I'll die after killing at least 1O people like you.
Don't make merry. Go and fetch a plate.
A plate? - Yes.
That place where I went to eat...
I ate very little and stole more.
That's his habit, after all. - Yes.
To avoid being caught red-handed, I pretended death.
I've lost my bungalow. - You'll be lost too.
All my desires have been murdered.
You too will be murdered now. Look at this... and this.
Now we don't have to cook for another 3 days.
See, you might not be my son. But I'm surely your father.
Now you won't get any car.
Shall I ask you something? - What is it?
Are you really my father?
Don't answer me if you don't want to.
How dare you say that to me!
Don't come any closer!
Yes, sister-in-law? - I haven't got my bed tea yet.
The custom in this house is to pray first and then eat.
Come on! - What' re you doing?
Come with me... - Leave my hand at least.
I have a head ache. - Take an aspirin.
Stop joking. You know that I am used to bed-tea.
But there's no trace of tea here.
I've made some special tea for you. You mustn't ever have had such tea.
Why? What happened?
Do your folks have salty tea?
She musfve played a prank on you!
She's very mischievous. - You've been lenient with her.
But all this won't do with me. If she does anything like this again...
I'll teach her such a lesson that she will forget all her pranks.
Don't be angry. I ask you for your forgiveness on her behalf.
You brothers and sisters have strange customs.
She commits pranks, and you ask for pardons.
Stop it, Chanda. I'll send some tea for you.
It's 1O o'clock. I'll be late again today.
Your salary, sir!
Congratulations to you on your first salary, sir.
Where's everybody? - Brother!
What is it? - Everybody is here.
Hold this for a while. I've got my first salary today.
So here's a dress for you. - My good brother!
Why the long face? I've brought trousers and a shirt for you too.
See for yourself.
Now shut your eyes everybody. Go on!
You look so smashing, sister-in-law!
Sister-in-law!
If celestial maidens would envy you in that sari!
I have some more good news.
Brother hasn't retired so far. But today, after 5 years...
his blazers have surely retired. Here's a new coat for brother.
Give him a big hand!
Brother, haven't you brought anything for your wife?
That wasn't a nice thing to do. You didn't bring anything for her?
Give this sari to her. - No, I'll bring her around.
Are you angry? What do you lack?
You have paradise at your feet.
It's just the stars and moon, which you don't have.
I can't bring that for you. - When did I ask you...
to bring the stars and the moon?
Every wife desires that...
her husband brings gifts for her from his earnings.
Today, even if you had brought a flower for me...
I would've assumed that you've given me all the wealth in the world.
You even forgot that it is my birthday today.
Sister-in-law...
Your mother has come.
Keep it over there. - Yes, madam.
Mother!
Many happy returns of the day. - Thank you, mama!
Daughter-in-law, why didn't you tell us?
We would've celebrated your birthday, too.
Whether you celebrate it, or I do, it's one and the same thing.
Here, dear... 20,000 rupees. - 20,000?
Yes. I know your economic conditions.
It's my daughter's birthday today.
It ought to be celebrated here...
with as much pomp and fanfare as I celebrate it.
Buy anything you need, dear.
Return the money, Chanda. - What for?
By giving her this money, you are ridiculing our poverty.
Take this money, and if you have met your daughter...
you may go away.
Sister-in-law! Chander is right.
She might be rich.
She doesn't have to show off her affluence in our house.
Neither have I ridiculed your poverty nor am I showing off my affluence.
I offered money to my daughter only because...
she's used to free spending.
This house of ours is a Heaven of love and affection.
And if you see poverty in it, take away your daughter.
Shut up, Ketan!
I had come here to celebrate my daughter's birthday.
Not to be insulted.
I'm leaving, dear.
You may now decide what is good and bad for you.
You didn't do a wise thing.
It's the first birthday of the daughter-in-law in this house.
What would you have lost if you had tolerated it without cribbing?
We will still celebrate the birthday.
But in our own way. What say, Ketan?
Go and talk to her first. She must be crying.
Let her shed some tears. It's good for health.
Meanwhile, I will go and buy a cake for her. All right?
Where are you going, sister-in-law?
We are preparing to celebrate your birthday.
Chander has gone to get a cake for you.
Sister-in-law is preparing porridge and pancakes.
Forget your anger now, sister-in-law.
Looks like you are angry with me too.
I swear, I will never ever play any prank or hurt you ever again.
I ask you for pardon on behalf of Chander and Ketan.
If the sister commits a mistake, the brother asks for pardon.
And if brother commits mistakes, the sister asks for pardon.
Sister-in-law! - Move aside.
Listen, sister-in-law.
Please, sister-in-law!
Let me go. - No, I won't.
Move aside. - No.
Till brother returns, you cannot go away.
Sister-in-law!
You raised your hand on Asha?
You slapped someone we never dreamed of hurting?
Our elder sister-in-law has loved us like a mother.
Forget about slapping, she hasn't even stared at us angrily.
Why should she slap you? After all, you are all so obedient to you.
You do everything she asks you to. I know her very well.
Her show of affection is a facade. She speaks ill behind people's backs.
This is the limit to my tolerance. - It's I who is tolerating it.
After having me insulted by her brothers-in-law...
that bitch must be feeling greatly relieved.
Sister-in-law!
How could you raise your hand on your sister-in-law?
I don't want your sympathy.
You are all the same. You want to kill me!
What's so terribly wrong that you're creating such a scene?
Why ask me? Ask your brother who has slapped me.
You have married me. You haven't bought me so that...
I am treated worse than a maid-servant.
Did you raise your hand on Chanda? - Yes. Because she slapped Asha.
So? Chanda is her sister-in-law and she's older than her.
What right do you have to slap her?
What right does she have to speak ill about sister-in-law?
Then sister-in-law would have slapped her. Why did you slap her?
Apologize to her. - I don't think...
I have done anything wrong. I won't ask her for pardon.
She may leave this house if she wants to.
We don't need such egoistic women in this house.
Apologize to her. - I won't, brother.
Ask her for pardon, I say! - No, I won't.
Ask her for pardon! - Brother!
One asks God for pardon, not a devil!
Get out of this house, you bloody orphan!
That's enough, Chander!
We have neither money nor property in the family, dear.
All we have is self-respect.
Don't let that respect go to the dogs. I beg of you.
No, brother. Don't.
I can never bear it, for you to beg before anybody for my sake.
I'm leaving, brother. - No, no...Ketan.
You cannot go.
You are under oath to me. Don't stop me.
Sister-in-law... you raised this orphan, got me educated...
You have made me capable enough to look after myself.
Just bless me, sister-in-law.
"As one's own, one day..."
"there came a stranger"
"As one's own, one day, there came a stranger"
"He belonged to me..."
"He is now an outsider"

"May this love never lessen"
"May no one ever be separated from his family"
"May love never lessen"
"May no one ever lose his family"
"May love never lessen"
"May no one ever lose his family"
Bahadur!
Come on!
Where? - To play.
Play what? - Musical instruments.
Which ones? - I mean the musical instrument.
I won't play it. - What?
Don't make a fuss. I'm in the mood to dance today.
And you know very well... - Know what?
Once I get in the mood to do something, I make sure I do it.
Let me play the instrument.
Now you've got into the mood. Here it is!
It's so very heavy.
Play it. - Where do I begin from?
Not from there. Start from here.
From the bottom?
Play it.
I couldn't make out because I haven't ever played it.
What happened? - Where did that sound come from?
I don't know. - Go on. Play it.
"Play the musical instrument"
"It'll awaken the neighbors; how can I play it?"
"Play the musical instrument"
"It'll awaken the neighbors; how can I play it?"
"The house is ours; so are the instruments"
"Why should we fear anybody?"
"The growing beats of the cymbals..."
"will quicken the heart-beats in the neighborhood"
"So what?"
"Play the musical instrument"
"I can't strike a note; how will I play it?"
"Tighten your strings, and work out the notes"
"Play a tune which livens up the heart"
"How will I compose an untimely tune?"
"Why are you thirsting for me in this manner?"
"Where am I to go?"
"Play the instrument"
"I'm sleepy, how will I play the instrument?"
"Dance!"
"I can make the anklets jingle by merely shaking a leg"
"I can make the sleep vanish from your eyes"
"Darling, this is afternoon"
"I fear, father too must be returning any moment now"
"Why do you fear?"
"Play the instrument"
"I am inexperienced, how will I play the instrument?"
"Let me show you how to play it"
He's on his way.
Here I am, father. - Hurry up.
Who's she, father?
Questions later. First greet her.
Sheela, you too should greet your mother-in-law.
What? - Yes.
We have got married. - You've disgraced us, father.
What difference does it make? - But how could you think of this...
at your age? - She's Suzy. How dare you insult...
your mother in your father's presence?
Father! - Shut up!
Why' re you getting angry? She's a sad widow.
She was on her way to the orphanage to donate two hundred thousand...
to adopt a child. I told her to give me two hundred thousand...
and I'd give her a child. - You want to sell me, father?
Nobody would give even 5O paise for you.
Have I become so old that I cannot give her a child?
She will not stay here. - Why not?
Because we live here. - So what? I too live here.
Go on... get lost. - Don't dare touch my wife!
Come soon, Sheela. The old man is prancing too much.
Father! You should be ashamed. - Why should I?
I've lost 300 rupees. First I took her to a hotel.
What? - For a cup of tea.
Then I took her to a temple. Bought flowers and put a garland around her.
Then I brought her here in an auto rickshaw.
One reaps as one sows.
You will say that! I know what it means to separate from one's wife.
You aren't sad because you are separated from your wife...
but for the two hundred thousand rupees.
Is two hundred thousand rupees any less than a wife?
Father! - Come on, Bahadur.
No food's going to be cooked in this house for 3 days now.
I'll eat flowers. such a bitter one.
That's fine.
Hello, Amar! - Greetings.
Bless you, dear. When did you return from America?
I returned just today. Congratulations on your marriage.
How's your marital life doing, Chander?
What should I say? You will know after you are married.
Carry on, Amar.
Take this list to the grocer and ask him to send the provisions.
All right. - Listen...
Ask him to send good rice. - All right.
Greetings. - Bless you.
When did you return from America? - Just today.
You've become an Englishman after going there?
But my heart is still Indian.
I don't see Ketan around.
What' s the matter?
He has left home.
What's this? Where did you get these new clothes from?
Do you steal money from the purchases? - No!
How can I? You give me limited money. The grocer is shocked to see me.
We should be thankful to the grocer that he gives us the supplies.
In fact, we oblige him by buying goods from him.
You stole all this? - No, I didn't.
Amar brought all this from America.
Amar brought it!
You are eating the paper too. - The American paper is sweet!
Father! Watch out!
Don't touch any of this stuff. I'm guarding it.
If anything disappears from here, I'll be accused of theft.
You called me a thief? I think you are a thief.
I'll take care of the stuff.
I'm not such a fool, father. - So how much of a fool are you?
I'm not such a fool that I'd ask the horse to guard the grass.
Horse? You called me a horse? - When did I do that?
You called me a horse? - When did I do that?
You son of an ass! - Son of an ass
Are you right, father? I'm a son of an ass?
Do you have the whereabouts of this ass?
Shut up. Where's Amar?
He's gone to Dhanrafs place.
What has he gone to those pauper's place for?
They are no longer paupers. They're prosperous now.
Really? That's amazing.
The only daughter of a millionaire's family...
is now their daughter-in-law.
Chander too earns 5,000 rupees per month.
What did you say about this donkey business?
I'm not saying anything. It's you who said it.
What have you to do with all that?
Amar likes Dhanraj's sister Asha. They like Amar very much, too.
Asha is their only sister. They'll offer dowry in marriage.
And the millionaire daughter-in-law too will be most generous...
in her sister-in-laws marriage.
Go quickly and ask for her hand in marriage to Amar.
Else, somebody might make a clean sweep of this treasure-house.
I'm not such a fool. - So how much of a fool are you?
Are you poking fun at me?
With you around, why does one need filth?
Brother, didn't you go to work today? - Didn't you say...
that I ought to retire now? So my boss has retired me.
That's a good thing, brother. - What's the matter, Chander?
Sister-in-law, here's my salary for this month.
Listen, I too want 500 rupees. - Keep all the money.
Now you must handle the household.
No, sister-in-law. You must continue to handle the household.
You folks must relieve your sister-in-law of household work...
so that she cares for me too. - Mr. Dhanraj!
This is Chanda!
How are you, dear? - Greetings.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Why' re you holding your shoes under your arms?
They might get spoilt if I wear them. Why spoil them?
Come, be seated.
What brings you here? - Actually...
Times have changed, isn't it? Or you'd have to come to us.
Earlier, it was the bride's folks who visited the groom's.
Now it's the other way around. I hope you understand what I mean.
Yes, of course.
Then why don't you finalize the alliance?
The alliance is confirmed from our side.
Asha has grown up now. We should be relieved of a burden too.
I hear Chander earns 5,000 rupees per month.
That's all thanks to God's grace.
She too belongs to an affluent family.
They must be millionaires at least.
Yes, their business is pretty large.
They must have spent a lot on the marriage too.
Everyone spends money depending on one's capacity.
We have only one sister.
We will surely spend some money in keeping with our capacity.
Your capacity is no less than anybody else.
I should be leaving now.
I'll consult an astrologer and find an auspicious time...
and start preparations for marriage. - All right.
You must have a cup of tea.
Now that we're relatives, that will follow soon.
You may fulfill all your desires on the day of marriage.
Father! Have tea before leaving. We can save our provisions.
I'm leaving. - Good bye.
Where did I say anything? I said nothing.
Get out!
Have I done the right thing, Chander. - Of course. That was very good.
That's all right. But how will we make preparations for the marriage?
After all, we will have to maintain our status during the wedding.
Everything will turn out well.
We will give away the ornaments which you gave me.
No, no. How is that possible? - Chandefs right, brother.
We will somehow manage and make other arrangements too.
Now you have to just make preparations for the marriage.
Just like you folks had insulted my mother...
I too will surely humiliate all of you in public.
Come on... the procession has arrived!
The procession has arrived.
Now the bridegroom will take away our darling.
And our home will become so lonely.
Sister-in-law!
Asha's husband is very naughty. He was staring at us.
He's bound to stare at his sisters-in-law.
Call the bride.
Go and bring Asha. - Let daughter-in-law...
bring the jewelry first. - Go and fetch the jewelry yourself.
Daughter-in-law!
What's the matter? - The jewelry...
Oh, I forgot! I'll give it right away.
What' s the matter?
I can't find the jewelry. - What? Look carefully.
The jewelry should be here. - Yes. This is the only cupboard.
Looks like the jewelry has been stolen.
The jewelry has been stolen. - Savitri was saying...
that the jewelry has been stolen.
God! I should have died before witnessing such a day.
If we lose our respect today, I'll swallow poison.
Daughter-in-law!
Don't cry, dear. But what will happen now?
We must inform the police. - No, daughter-in-law.
The guests have already arrived. It has to do with our family honor.
If you don't mind, shall I fetch jewelry from my mother's place?
I'll be right back. - No, Chanda.
What if there is no jewelry?
Our sister will go without the ornaments.
A clean sweepm? Not a single ornament?
Priest! Stop the ceremony!
What' s the matter?
Is someone dead in your family?
Nobody's in a joyous mood, nor is there any ornament on the bride.
What' s the matter?
The thing is, we had some jewelry. But it has been stolen.
Should they have been stolen on this very day?
We are speaking the truth.
We swear, the jewelry has been stolen.
When did I insist that I want only jewelry?
Give us a hundred thousand rupees in cash.
Where will we get so much of cash from?
Then keep your sister with you.
Don't say that. We'll lose our respect.
I didn't say a thing.
If you were so concerned about your respect...
you should have made complete arrangements for the marriage.
You too had got your brother married.
You musfve accepted tons in dowry.
People accept dowry with open hands, but act stingy at the time of giving.
Get up. This marriage will not take place.
I beg you! Please don't do this. - No, this marriage can't take place.
The marriage will surely take place. I don't want any dowry.
But I want dowry. Who will compensate for the amount I've spent on you?
Come on, let's go home. - Father...
I'll leave this place only after the ceremony is complete.
I won't let that happen.
Forge a relationship with these paupers...
and you will be doomed. - So be it. Recite the hymns.
No, Amar. A marriage without the father's permission...
has no meaning. - Did you hear that?
Come on. Let's go.
"Day and night, I see a dream"
"That when your bridegroom comes to our house in a procession..."
"I will shower you with pearls and diamonds"
"And decorate your palanquin with moon and the stars"
"O sister, your brother will protect the honor of your rakhi"
You haven't done the right thing. - What do you want?
Should I have brought home that sister of those paupers?
What do you lack? - They have a millionaire...
for a daughter-in-law. If they had asked her...
she would have brought even a million from her mother.
They are respectable people.
They'd prefer to die, but never accept money from their relatives.
You are my son, but you are praising them?
Shut up! - What did I say?
The unfortunate thing is that I am your son.
Don't you think that I got up from the sacred fire on your say-so.
I've obeyed Dhanrafs command. Now I'm leaving this house.
I'll stand on my own two feet, start earning...
and then marry Asha with great pomp.
You will leave your father for a girl?
What father? For you, money is your father, mother, brother and sister.
Keep your money carefully.
Stop him, father. There goes your four hundred thousand.
Shut up! - Here's a bidi.
Go and ask the neighbors for a matchbox.
Our own won't do? - No.
What times we live in.
They have a marriageable young girl at home...
and they move about like Queens.
There's a limit to shamelessness. Else, when a marriage procession...
turns away from your doorstep, people commit suicides.
But she's not their daughter!
I hear the jewelry was stolen. - That's only an excuse.
They must've hidden it away. - Even the brothers weren't...
concerned about their respect? - At least they saved the ornaments!
Whafll happen of the girl who is sitting at home?
What else? Either she will run away after a fling with somebody...
or they will get her married to some lame duck.
Where are you going, Chander? - To Delhi. On official work.
When will you return? - In 15-20 days.
Take care. Bless you.
Listen... I will accompany you.
I'm not going for sightseeing, but on an official work.
I will return as soon as I can.
I can't bear to hear people making comments about us.
It has become difficult to step out of the house.
Wherever I go, people point fingers at us.
That's how the world is.
People had pointed fingers even at Lord Rama and Sita.
What are we, in comparison? Have faith in God.
I've lost faith even in God.
A girl's burden is the greatest burden in the world.
And a young girl is a living funeral.
Did you hear? Asha has left home. - What?
She writes that she's on her way to commit suicide.
No! - What' re you waiting for?
Go and find her.
Stop, Asha!
Slop!
Leave me... leave me alone.
Brother!
What's happened that you were forced to commit suicide?
You should ask which calamity we haven't been struck with?
You left home, my marriage was canceled...
People had made life difficult for brother and sister-in-law.
Fool! Didn't you consider that...
those who laughed when you marriage was called off...
would they have let brother and sister-in-law live peacefully...
if you had died? - O brother!
Nothing has been lost as yet. God is great.
Come on. Come back home.
Did you get to know anything about Asha?
No. - All this happened...
because of the jewelry. - Nobody is to be blamed.
All this has happened because of our fate.
Why must you blame fate? The younger daughter-in-law is to be blamed.
Even a needle hasn't ever been stolen from our house.
Then how could the jewelry have vanished?
If the younger daughter-in-law had kept the ornaments carefully...
we wouldn't have had to go through all this.
Yes, of course.
You had to go through all this because of me.
But don't forget that I don't come from a family of beggars.
We give away so much jewelry in our servant's marriage.
And you are suspecting me? I won't stay here any longer.
I'm walking out of this home. - Stop, daughter-in-law.
What will people say if you walk out of the house?
I'm going away to my mother's house. Like your sister...
I'm not going to commit a sin that people will pass comments.
Daughter-in-law! - Don't you scream!
I know you very well. Could it be that...
you people have hidden the jewelry and are blaming me for that?
Have mercy, sir. Don't do this.
I'm having mercy on you. I'm offering you this bed...
so that you don't have to sleep on the streets without it.
What say, lawyer? - You are absolutely right.
Legally speaking, you can't take away even a needle from here.
Give us a few more days time. Chander is out-of-town.
As soon as he returns, we'll pay back all your debts.
I had lent you the money because I had faith in him.
But you didn't even send me the amount of the interest.
How can one trust anyone these days?
They cannot fend for themselves. Then how will they repay debts?
Get out of here. I've to lock the place.
Get lost!
Come, lawyer.

Where had you been, Mr. Chander? Your house has been auctioned.
And where are my brother and sister-in-law?
God knows. They were thrown out the very same day.
Your sister ran away from home.
Angered over that, they threw me out of the house.
What' re you saying, Chanda? They could never do such a thing.
I'm no Goddess to convince you after a test by fire.
My brother and sister-in-law must be going through a test of fire.
I wonder where they must be roaming about without a house.
Here...take this medicine.
I'm like the lamp which is about to be extinguished.
How long will you keep me alive like this?
Don't say that. You are the light of my life.
Talk less now. And have the medicine.
Where's your wedding necklace?
As long as you are here, we can make another one.
Drink the medicine.
Look! I've brought three rakhis.
One for elder brother, one for Chander, and one for myself.
Get dressed. We've to meet brother and sister-in-law. Come on.
Hey! You are crying again?
It's rakhi-day today. Brother and sister-in-law will surely pardon you.
That's not the matter. - Then what is it?
I met Ramu Uncle today. He told me that...
brother and sister-in-law have gone away somewhere.
What? - Yes.
So that woman threw out brother and sister-in-law from home?
Time has destroyed our family.
We have been scattered.
Fool! We have only been scattered. We haven't been crushed.
Don't worry. Everything will be fine.
Listen...
Eat some food.
Hey! You didn't have any money. So where did you get this food from?
Didn't you hear that God doesn't let anybody go to sleep hungry?
You may assume that we have got holy offerings from God's place.
Holy offerings? So do we have to beg and fend for ourselves?
Every grain is meant for a particular person.
Please eat. You haven't eaten anything for three days.
I wonder where these beggars come at the doorstep from.
Don't abuse us, sir. We aren't beggars.
How dare you back-answer me? Go away from here...
or I'll hand you over to the police.
They consider the place as a free shelter.
I hope you aren't hurt.
None of this food was meant to be eaten by us.
Let's go.
What's the matter? What happened?
If you've got to die, go and die elsewhere.
I wonder where they come from.
I hope you're okay?
I can't walk any further. I'm feeling giddy.
Sit here. And rest for a while.
I'll be back soon.
What do you want?
My husband has been starving for 3 days.
If you could give me some work, I'd be highly obliged.
Is there anybody around who can vouch for you?
I don't know anybody here. - Then I'm helpless.
I'm sorry. I cannot give you a job without any reference.
Excuse memmadam, I'm very worried. Give me some food to eat.
My husband has been starving for three days.
In return, I will do all your work. I'll sweep, wash utensils...
I'll do whatever you say. - Everybody says that.
If we sympathize with you and give you work...
you will rob all our valuables and vanish. Go away elsewhere.

Sister-in-law!
What am I seeing?
You have always only given.
And now, you stretch those hands for alms from others?
No, sister-in-law!
Hands worn out of work had never saddened me as much...
as I'm saddened to see these hands asking for alms.
What else could I do? I had no other way.
Your brother has been starving for the last three days.
Brother"? Where's he? Where's brother?
Come on.
What is it? - I've brought breakfast.
Keep it.
Are you going out? - Yes, to a wedding.
Where did you get so much jewelry from?
What have you to do with it? - No, I have nothing...
He may have nothing to do with it. But I do.
If you wear so much jewelry at the marriage...
the thieves will be after you.
Wear fake jewelry. I'll keep this properly.
Father! These ornaments don't belong to me.
Then whose ornaments are these? - They belong to Chanda.
She gave me the jewelry to keep it safely.
Chanda gave it to her?
We swear, the ornaments have been stolen.
Where do I insist that I want only ornaments?
Give us a hundred thousand rupees in cash.
Where will we get so much of cash from?
Then keep your sister at home.
Get up. This marriage cannot take place.
I beg you! Please don't do this. - No, this marriage can't take place.
It means the jewelry had not been stolen.
Chanda had hidden it with you.
Give it to me. I'll return it. - Don't you dare touch it.
Else I'll break your arms. - You will break my arms?
I will even break your head.
How dare you?
You want to see my daring? You will break my arms?
What are you doing? - You will break my arms?
You will break my arms and legs?
You want to see my daring? - Please forgive me.
I will never commit such a mistake again.
Today you have realized it?
For a woman who cannot fulfill her duties as a woman...
God does not allow her a place even in Hell.
Leave me alone.
Father!
Give me this box. - Shut up!
I won't.
You so much for wealth that you want to usurp somebody else's wealth?
Give me this box. Or I might hit you too!
You will beat me? - Yes.
Here it is.
But this jewelry was stolen. Then how did you get it?
It wasn't stolen. Chanda had kept it in my wife's custody.
I got to know about it today.
As soon as I got to know, I've come to return it to you.
I ask you for forgiveness for the mistake my wife made...
by keeping these ornaments with her.
I've brought a very nice thing for you.
Really? - Shut your eyes.
I had shut my eyes for very long. But now that they've opened...
I could see the real you.
What's happened to you, Chander? - What's happened, you ask?
Look at this.
Open it.
Open it, I say!
Jewelry? - Yes.
The same jewelry that was stolen.
Aren't you happy to have the stolen jewelry back?
Don't you dare utter my name with your filthy tongue!
I always thought that you are brash, that you are haughty.
But I got to know today that you are evil too.
Here...take your jewelry...
and sit on it like a snake so that nobody can touch it.
Forgive me, Chander.
I might have several shortcomings. But I'm still your wife.
Wife? What wife?
The girl whose life you ruined, do you know who she was?
Your husband's younger sister!
Do you know who the person was whom you insulted...
and had him thrown out? Your husband's younger brother.
And know who the person was...
who got insulted because of you in public?
Your husband's brother and sister-in-law.
You have severed every limb of your husband.
And you still claim to be a wife? Aren't you ashamed?
From today, I'm dead for you. - No, Chander. I won't let you go.
Leave me.
Stop, Chander.
Forgive me, Chander.
He's suffering from Tuberculosis. Get him admitted to a hospital soon.
How much money will we need to spend?
Around a thousand or a thousand-and-a-half.
You have faith in my honesty, don't you?
Yes, of course.
If I suspected you, why would I have given you milk?
But why do you question me?
My brother is like my father. Unfortunately...
he's suffering from Tuberculosis.
I need a thousand rupees for his treatment.
If you could give me a thousand rupees...
One thousand? - For God's sake, don't refuse.
I will slog day-and-night and return all your money.
You fool! Here's the thousand rupees.
Don't hesitate to ask if you need any more.
Get your brother treated properly.
Here you are!
I got to know only today that a human is a form of God.
Thief!
Catch him!
Catch the thief!
Thief! Thief!
Catch him!
Catch the thief!
Scoundrel! How dare you rob! Get up!
Beat him up. Take the rascal to the police station.
Hey! Whose money is this? - It's mine.
It's you, Ketan?
Thank you very much, sir.
Who are you?
I'm Chander! Your brother!
What brother?
You couldn't belong to god-like brother and sister-in-law...
You couldn't belong to your own sister.
What relationship can you have with an orphan like me?
All your relationships are with the woman...
who made you forget all your blood relations too.
Go and sleep in that woman's lap.
The truth about that woman has been exposed.
I've severed all my relations with her for good.
I wonder where Asha, my brother and sister-in-law have gone.
I've been looking for them all over like a mad man.
You started searching for them too late, brother.
If you had come a few days earlier...
you would've seen sister-in-law begging for alms on the streets.
You would've seen brother crawling on the footpath...
and you would've seen Asha committing suicide.
Will you keep crying like a child?
Won't you meet brother and sister-in-law?
Ketan...my brother!
No, doctor. Do whatever you like. But save my daughter's life.
Don't worry. We're doing our best.
Hurry up. Call the doctor. - Our brother is in very bad state.
The doctor is examining some patient. Please wait.
Doctor! - Amar?
Chander, Ketan... what's the matter?
Brother is in a serious condition. - Where's he?
Please hurry up. - Come on.
There's nothing to worry about. He will recover soon.
The patient in room number 3 is in a serious condition.
She will have to be administered blood soon.
Please come quickly, doctor. Her condition...
You? Whose condition is severe?
Chander fell down the stairs. She has lost a lot of blood.
She has become unconscious. She badly needs blood.
Doctor, you may take my blood. - No, sister-in-law.
Nobody will give her blood. Let her die.
Because of her, you and brother had to undergo so many sufferings.
Asha and Ketan had to leave home.
We've no relations with such a woman.
Did we raise you and have you educated so we'd have to hear all this?
Did we inculcate good values in you so that...
you would severe a sacred marriage alliance in a jiffy?
Look at your sister-in-law...
How well she has been maintaining that alliance.
But brother...!
Whatever happens, Chanda is a member of our family.
Amar, save our daughter-in-laws life somehow or the other.
I will always be obliged to you.
If need be, take my blood.
Doctor, I'm sure that my blood will surely match her blood-group.
She cannot die before I do.
Thank you, God!
You have reunited my scattered family.
Just do me one more favor, O God! Save my daughter-in-law.
In return, You may take away my life.
There's nothing to worry about now. She's out of danger.
Brother, the doctor has said that she's out of danger.
I'll go and inform elder brother. - Listen, will you?
Brother, sister-in-law has regained consciousness.
She's out of danger now.
After all, it was our elder sister-in-laws blood.
It saved her from the jaws of death.
Brother?
Brother!
He's dead.
Brother has left all of us. - Brother!
No!
Does anybody get upset like this with one's own near-and-dear ones?
Brother!
Brother, because of one small mistake I made...
you turned your face away from us forever?
You tolerated everything silently...
and got silenced for good.
To appease one death...
you have left behind so many dreams?
Sister-in-law!
Don't cry, my dear.
Your brother has sacrificed merely his body.
But both of you are his life. - O sister-in-law!
My real earnings are you folks.
If you make a place for yourselves after your education...
I will assume that I have everything.
Ygu?
How dare you come to this house? Get out!
Listen to me, Chander.
You won't listen easily. Get out!
Please listen to me. - Get out, I say.
I don't want to hear anything from you.
Leave daughter-in-laws hand!
No, sister-in-law! - Leave her hand, I say.
Come inside, daughter-in-law.
Let me see who dares throw you out of the house.
No, she cannot live in our house. - Who are you to decide this?
I'm still alive.
You will get the right to decide only after I'm dead.
Not while I'm alive. - No, I won't let her live here.
Fine. If that's your final decision. But she won't go away alone.
I too will go away with her. Let's go.
Sister-in-law!
You are not merely a sister-in-law to us.
You are also our brother, our mother...
And a home where our mother doesn't live...
we too won't live there. Come on, sister-in-law.
No, sister-in-law... You cannot go away.
I've already lost a brother who was like my father.
Now I cannot lose you. Not at all.
Sister-in-law! No, don't leave me behind!
You are my mother, sister-in-law. Don't deprive me of your affection.
Don't leave me behind.
Only your orders will be followed in this home.
I will accept whatever you say. But for God's sake, don't leave me.
Come, father. Come on.
He's feeling shy. Don't feel shy. Come on.
Why' re you quiet, Mr. Shyamlal? - He has lost his voice.
Shut up.
Rather, my voice has found a greater force now.
And I say it in a strong voice that I want my daughter-in-law.
That's a strong voice? - Yes.
Without any dowry. And I want a happy family like yours.
Amar, ask your father for forgiveness.
Why should he ask for pardon? It's you who should ask for pardon.
L? - Then what?
But... - Shut up.
Forgive your father, my dear son.
