Don't say it to anybody!
Whether it's good or bad.
Whether a thorn pierces or a knife stabs.
l will tell the truth.
Whether a bomb drops or there is an explosion.
Don't say it to anybody!
Here lovers tell each other.
Meet in such a way that people won't come to know.
Meeting covertly and having fun.
Meeting and sharing joy and sorrow.
Look, look, look!
Don't say it to anybody!
You have really grown old.
Yes. l have grown old.
You people take rounds like bullocks to look younger.
Go, go, go!
Are we bullocks?
No! Bullocks at least help to dig out oil.
What do you people do.. you only know that.
l come here because.. l get to meet my old friends in the morning.
And l feel happy too.
Yes!
Liyakat is right!
Yes, l forgot to tell you!
Lala is going to return from Lucknow in a day or two.
Wow! Wow! Wow! What news!
No matter what.. he is the only young man amongst all of us!
Yes. There is no doubt in this. A man is young at heart.
lf exercise can make a person young..
..then he would have become young a long time ago.
And look at this fatso!
Maybe after taking the rounds he feels so hungry..
..that he eats to his heart's content at home.
No matter what.. only we old people..
..are to be seen in the park in the morning.
But not a single youth is to be seen.
What a weird generation!
And they sleep when they should be awake.
Sir! Sir! Wake up! How Iong will you sleep!
Sir is about to return.
What's the time? - 7:30!
7:30!
l slept late as l was repairing this radio.
Why do you do these things?
You are an officer in a company. Do your work.
Working as an officer is not as enjoyable..
Uncle, when uncle Liyakat comes, give him this radio.
Okay, dear. l will give it to him.
Dhiru! - Yes!
ls Ramesh ready? - Yes.
Serve breakfast! - Okay!
Father, take this.
So this is your 7th salary.
Are you happy with your work, son? - Absolutely, father!
l am happy to know that!
But being too ambitious is also not good.
The height of the tree is not so important.
Good morning, sir! - Greetings. Good morning, sir! - Good morning, sir!
Morning! - Good morning, sir!
Good morning! - Good morning! Good morning, sir! - Good morning!
Good morning, sir! - Good morning! Good morning!
- Good morning, sir!
Hello. Good morning! - Good morning, sir!
Today l am again late!
So what? You are the boss.
God is the real boss! l want your advice for two things.
Tell me, sir. - Have a seat.
For the past 1-1 1l2 months l have been thinking..
..that there is a manager in Pune branch.
And here we have two.
Meaning general manager and manager.
Meaning you.
So why don't we vacant this office's manager post?
What is the need of a manager..
..when general manager is there?
What are you thinking?
No, sir! What is there to think! You are right!
So from today you no longer hold this post.
Sir, it means.. from today itself l will take my leave. - Leave?
Yes, sir. l will have to search for another job.
Why somewhere else? Why not in this office?
The thing is that general manager has now grown old.
Now l can't work.
What are you saying, sir?
You will understand that when you will grow old like me.
And when you will get an honest and hard working..
..manager like Ramesh Trivedi.
l don't have any wife or children.
So for whom should l toil so much?
Now l will live the rest of my life merrily.
Sir.. sir.. can l touch your feet?
Not because you want to make me the general manager.
l want to take your blessing, sir!
God bless you, dear!
Sir, pardon me. But you have worn two different colours' socks.
The thing is that my paunch is so big that l can't bend and see.
And l don't have any kin who will tell me.
l only have a nephew. She has completed her MBBS.
Then she only will look after my socks.
Now go. Look after your post. l am leaving.
They are coming to meet the general manager.
So you only handle it. l am leaving.
Hello.
Hello, father!
Father.. l want to give you good news!
Just now l have been made the general manager of the company.
God bless you!
Father, bless me. l should be worthy of this.
Nobody becomes worthy with blessings, son.
Honesty and hard work makes you worthy.
l am keeping this here.
Father, l will come home and tell you everything in detail. Okay.
Excuse me. - l was waiting for you only.
Listen.. - One moment please.
Ms. Dorothy Johnson. Please come.
Sit down please!
What's your speed? - Speed?
Yes. Speed meaning how fast are you?
Around 70-80.
lf the road is clear, then l do touch 90 or 100.
Are you telling me your driving speed? - Yes.
Look, we had given the advertisement..
..for a stenotype and not for a driver.
And l was asking about your typing speed.
l don't know typing.
lf you don't know typing, then why have you come here?
l.. l mean.. my uncle..
Ma'am, don't send your uncle's friends here.
Recommendation doesn't work in this office.
This is the misfortune of our country.
You won't get a iob by recommendation.
You are so weird! l have not come here for a job.
Even if you want a iob, still l won't give it to you.
Listen, mister! There is a limit to everything! My uncle..
Again your uncle!
What will your uncle do if l don't give you a job?
Will he shoot me? What will he do?
He won't shoot you! But he will surely sack you!
Sack me?
l think you have been mistaken. You are mister..
Ramesh Trivedi. General manager.
May l come in, sir? - Come in!
Sir, l was called for an interview.
You? - Yes!
Then you? - Ramola Sharma.
Ramola Sharma. But here Dorothy Johnson is written.
Yours? - Yes!
Then who are you?
l said l am Ramola Sharma! Dr. Ramola Sharma!
But l didn't know that uncle has sold his business!
Uncle? Uncle who?
When l went home, it was locked.
Maybe the servant had gone out. So l came straight here.
So you are sir's doctor nephew!
Excuse me.. Ms.. Ms. Johnson.
Please wait outside for a minute. - Okay.
Thank you. Please have a seat! - Thank you.
What will you have? Tea or coffee or something cold?
Water. - Surely.
Lala, you!
When did you return from Lucknow?
Pundit, you are a fool!
Yes, yes! - Have you brought pe_ume?
Yes! - This time l want Khus pe_ume.
Why are you getting so angry?
l am bound to get angry!
You are my friend. So l pardon you.
But if you even mentioned Khus pe_ume of Lucknow in..
..this bad weather then l will file your report in the police station!
Even pe_umes have their own season.
Now to make him happy Tansen can't sing Raag Darbari..
..in the afternoon.
So Khus pe_ume is used during heat waves time
How can Khus pe_ume survive Mumbai's weather?
Liyakat, take this!
l have got it for everybody! - Thanks!
My wife is where l am.
Who?
Fool, do l have to explain which daughter-in-law?
l am calling Ramesh's wife.
He has still not got married.
What are you saying, Kailashpati?
You have still not got him married?
A young son is like a kite.
lf you leave them loose for a moment..
..you will find it in the opposite roof.
Youth is not something to be kept in the fixed deposit.
You have to spend it.
lf you will get your son married..
..then his youth will be spend in the right way.
l can give you good news.
With everybody's blessing.. Ramesh has become..
..his company's general manager.
Wow! Wow! Wow! Shake hands!
Let's have a cigarette to celebrate this news!
No! Doctor has forbidden!
But the doctor is not here.
So a drag to celebrate his promotion.
Ramesh ioined the company 7 months ago, didn't he?
And so soon you made him the general manager.
lf l won't trust him then whom will l trust?
What's so special about him that you praise him so much?
He has that quality which is not..
..easily found in this generation's youth.
Hard working, loyal. Jack of all trade.
Do you know?
Once my office's 100 years old clock got damaged.
Kolkata's company gave an estimate..
..of 1000 rupees to repair it.
And Ramesh repaired it at a cost of 24.90 rupees.
So open a clock repairing shop and make him the in-charge.
You trust anybody so soon!
No, no, dear. He is an honest fellow.
He is a Chartered Accountant. And he is so intelligent that..
l am sorry, uncle. l found him foolish and not intelligent.
He can't differentiate between a typist and a doctor.
Can l come in, sir?
Come, come, come, Ramesh!
Greetings, sir! - Come! Come! Have a seat!
You will live long! We were just talking about you.
ls that so? How come, sir?
Ramola raised your topic. What has brought you here?
Sir, l wanted your signature.
You should have sent a peon.
Now you are the general manager.
Sir, it's my first day. So l am still not used to it.
Okay. Where to sign? - Here! But sir, first read it.
Then what is the need?
No, sir. You shouldn't trust anybody blindly.
Am l right, Ramola?
Sir, l don't know why you made me the general manager.
l might be a fool. Sir, it's possible.
Am l right, Ramola?
No, no! You are a doctor!
You can understand it by seeing the face.
Yes, l understand but..
Forget it. Get tea for Ramesh.
No, no, sir! Thank you!
Don't worry. l make good tea.
No.. doctors have started scaring me.
Sir, greetings. Greetings.
Uncle.. l take back my opinion.
Why not, dear? First take this. - What? What is this?
Open it and see!
No need to say. When did Mr. Lala return?
Today in the morning.
Has he come alone or aunt too has come?
l have heard that they both have come.
As soon as they both returned to Mumbai, l received a promotion.
l will go and meet them. Wow!
Have your tea! - l will come back and have it!
At times in the night. At times in the morning.
l was saying.. in Mumbai.
At least let me read this page!
No! First answer me!
First hear this poem!
..which says, blood of how many do you want.
Let it be! Leave your poems! It's a useless thing!
When we return from Lucknow, poems.
When we go to Lucknow, poems.
As if Lucknow is some shop of poems!
Darling, for the past 30 years you have been living..
..in the lane where Waiid Ali Shah used to live.
What destiny! Can l come in, Mr. Lala?
Come! Come! General manager! Come!
First let me go inside.
Greetings, aunt! - God bless you!
Aunt, both of yours blessing has made me a general manager.
l see! - Have sweets!
Have a seat! l will bring tea for you! Sit! - Come! Come!
Bless you!
l have brought special betel leaf for you!
Betel leaf! Wow!
So let's have a cigarette to celebrate this news.
Cigarette! l.. - l know that you smoke!
No need to feel shy. l am not just your father's friend.
l am your friend too.
Before your aunt brings tea, Iet's have a cigarette.
Mr. Lala, the doctor has forbidden you, hasn't he?
So l won't eat your betel leaf too!
Mr. Lala, what is this? Have this!
Betel leaf!
Doctor.. - l know what you are saying.
Doctor has only forbidden me from smoking.
He didn't say not to have an unlit cigarette.
l think nobody has touched this room for the past 2 years.
lt's forbidden to enter this room. - Why?
Because till the time your aunt was alive..
..she herself used to clean this room.
After her death.. once l was cleaning this room.
Suddenly l broke one of the marriage mementoes.
Oh my God! Sir was so angry! l have never seen him so angry!
Somehow l pleaded with him and saved my job!
l have been working here since a long time.
Maybe that's why he pardoned me.
Do one thing. Keep the tea there. And bring a broom.
He won't banish you from the house.
l will go to the temple and pray for you both.
God, protect them!
'Once my office's 100 years old clock got damaged#
'Kolkata's company gave an estimate..
..of 1000 rupees to repair it#
'And Ramesh repaired it at a cost of 24.90 rupees#
Hello! Ramola! This is Ramesh speaking!
Listen! l am in a grave trouble! That's why l have called you!
Please come here immediately.
Why? Why are you in tears?
l dropped an expensive clock and it broke.
l have heard that you are an expert in repairing clocks.
Please repair this too.
Otherwise how will l face uncle?
You don't worry. l will be there soon with the tools.
Please don't use your doctor's knowledge on it.
Yes! Please come soon!
Okay! l will tell the cab driver to drive with your speed. Bye.
Greetings.
You have come! l was waiting for you only!
Where is it? - Here it is!
This is a serious surgical case.
Whatever.. please repair it before uncle returns.
You see.. this clock is aunt's memento.
And it is dearer to uncle than his life.
Please do something.
Look, Ramola. It's my iob to try.
The rest lies in God's hand.
By the way l think along with medicine..
..prayer too will be required.
Even l need tea.
Yes, yes! l will get it quickly! - Thank you!
Come, darling!
Ramola!
Brother Mansukh! Have a seat. l will just come.
Okay! Darling, sit!
What is going on? - This clock..
Are you repairing the clock or breaking it? - What?
Uncle wastes his money on useless things.
People keep antique for show-off.
And uncle keeps antique to know the time. - Aunt?
Not aunt! Antique! Old, ramshackle, useless things.
Like your father.
Tell me something. Where is your shop?
Where there is a clock. - What?
l mean l don't have a shop.
People call me to their home. And l go and repair their clock.
You mean home service.
l work on trust. - You will surely progress.
l iust need your favour.
You too give me some chance to serve you.
l would have surely given you the chance to serve me.
But l don't live here. l live in Pune.
Hi, brother Mansukh! - Hi, Ramola!
Here is your tea! - Thank you!
Ramola, meet her. Sangeeta.
She is my fiancé. Sangeeta sings so sweetly.
lf there is no desert after supper..
lf you will hear it, you will go mad.
l will go mad? Then l won't hear it!
Please don't mind. My relationship with him is very jolly.
This is not a ioking matter.
Some day Sangeeta will create sensation..
..in the musical world by being known as Lata Bhosle.
Sensation!
Lata Bhosle means the combination of..
..Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle.
lf you mix Lata Mangeshkar and Asha Bhosle's voice..
..together then it will become so melodious!
Sangeeta's voice too is very melodious!
l have arranged for a variety entertainment program..
..to present Sangeeta in front of the people.
The hall is still not fixed. But the tickets are ready.
The ticket's price is 100 rupees. - 100 rupees! Don't worry.
l will take the money later. Take this.
Now l will leave. l have to visit many places.
l have to sell all the tickets.
Listen! Meet him! He is Mr. Ramesh!
The clock mender! The clock mender! l met him when l came.
He will progress a lot. He is a hard working man. Bye-bye!
Let's go. - Bye.
Please don't mind. Brother Mansukh..
He thought l am a clock mender.
lt's better than being called a fool.
l have repaired your clock.
Wow! You really turned out to be a genius!
l think you have started trusting me a bit.
l am sorry for that day. l am really very, very sorry.
Look, during lunch time food is more important than sorry.
Oh! l forgot! You must be hungry!
l will immediately get something! - Listen! Listen!
l will get late. l have newly been appointed a GM.
l will have it some other day. As the fees for repairing the clock.
Okay. Here is your ticket.
But.. its price is 100 rupees. - No, no. It's on my behalf.
On that day you can hear Lala Bhosle's song.
And you will get meal too.
Hail God! Today my earnings have been really good!
Look, if you again dropped the clock..
..then do remember this clock mender Ramesh.
Why? Brother had given this place's address.
But we were supposed to attend Lata Bhosle's singing program. Yes.
Look here! There is some dancing program! Snake dance!
Yes! No, no! Look, it's written! Mansukhlal presents Vijayanthi lyre!
So.. where did that Lata Bhosle go?
He must have broken his engagement..
..with Lata Bhosle for some reason.
Viiayanthi lyre must be his new fiancé.
Oh my God! Do you have brother Mansukh's photo?
Why?
He seems to be iet age's lover.
l don't change my suit in a week.
Meet brother Mansukh who is in the green room.
He is waiting for you.
Me? - Yes! Go!
Go straight and right from the door. - Thank you very much!
Ramola! And the clock mender!
Brother Mansukh, you too!
Look, look, look! You are a doctor. And he is a clock mender.
But l don't believe in class differences in love. Wow! Wow!
lf everybody thinks like you then it will..
But.. brother Mansukh.. l don't understand one thing.
How were we both recognised at the gate?
We were sent straight to meet you.
l will tell you. Darling! Darling! - Yes, darling!
You see.. l have given the instructions..
l had sold the tickets on credit. So l have to pay the hall's rent.
So l am standing here!
Thank you very much! Very intelligent girl! Very intelligent!
Darling! Come, darling! Meet them!
She is my cousin Ramola.
Hello. And he is her cousin.. her friend Ramesh.
And she is my fiancé Urvashi Mitra.
But l lovingly call her Kapil Dev.
Kapil Dev is a man's name.
Yes! That is true!
But Kapil Dev's position in cricket is that of an all rounder.
Similarly in dancing she is an all rounder.
Viiayanthi in classical and Kalpana lyre..
..in pop and modern music.
Darling, brush up your makeup.
Brother, can l ask you something? - Yes!
What about that Lata Bhosle? - Lata Bhosle? Who?
The one whom you had introduced to us as your fiancé.
Look, do you read yesterday's newspaper today?
No. No, am l right?
l too don't read it.
Problem with Sangeeta was that she loved ice-cream.
Whenever we would go out she would always say l want an ice-cream!
l would tell her that if you will have ice-cream..
..you will get a sore throat.
You won't become a singer. Still no!
She continued eating ice-cream!
l told her to go and marry some ice-cream vendor!
And look.. Iook at my fate! The very next day l met Urvashi Mitra.
Listen! Come! Come!
You both please go. There are enough seats!
Sit in the front row. - Okay.
Come, Mahendra! How many people are with you?
Only 2. - Give 200 rupees.
Current..
Why are you giving so much current?
Serpent, you don't even know who l am.
l have removed poison of great ones.
You are nothing compared to them.
Listen, snake charmer.
Listen, snake charmer. My body is fatal. Don't harass me.
Don't come near me.
There is no antidote for my bite.
Current..
Why are you giving so much current?
Serpent, you don't even know who l am.
l am heartless. l am very renowned.
l will break all of your ego.
l accept your challenge.
Jumping.
- Current..
Why are you giving so much current?
Serpent, you don't even know who l am.
Listen, snake charmer. My body is fatal.
Don't harass me.
Listen, crazy man. Stop playing this lyre.
You too stop swaying.
Accept defeat. Stop locking horns with me.
Carefully.
Listen, snake charmer.
My body is fatal.
Don't harass me.
Don't come near me.
Serpent, you don't even know who l am.
These are not your days to have fun.
My desire is to iust entice you.
My storms will kill you.
Carefully.
Listen, snake charmer.
My body is fatal.
Don't harass me.
Don't come near me.
Current..
Why are you giving so much current?
Serpent, you don't even know who l am.
Listen, snake charmer. My body is fatal.
Don't harass me.
Don't come near me.
What you said, it was right. But..
Kailash, what's the matter? Today you seem worried.
Yes. l was thinking about what Lala said that day.
That a young son is like a kite.
ls this true?
Yes, it's true. But Ramesh won't do this.
Even if he is not like this.. still you have to get him married.
Now he has become the general manger.
So find a girl for him.
Ramesh's marriage is not my sole responsibility.
He is like your son too.
l know of a girl for Ramesh. She is BA pass.
The family is good. She lives at Cartar Road.
lf you say, l will call them.
Tomorrow is Sunday. You can go and meet her.
Please come! Come! Sit!
ls some repairing work going on in your house?
No, no. My daughter.. is listening to music. - Oh!
My daughter is very smart. She is one in a million.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Dear, you sit here. - Yes, dad.
Dear.. what's your name? - Molly.
Molly?
Molly meaning Shyamli. We call her Molly at home.
Daddy, in college, students call me Lee and not Molly.
l like to be called Lee, not Shyamli.
Have you read Ramayan and Mahabharat?
Sorry. l am not interested in mythology.
l am only crazy about music. Literally crazy.
Who is your favourite singer?
Asia, 3rd world.
lts musical groups.
Like Supertram, Cool and the gang.
Sorry, dear. l don't know anything about these things.
You don't like rock? Acid rock. Punk rock. Soft rock.
Rock meaning stone. Soft meaning delicate.
Are stones soft too?
Forgive me for saying. But you are an orthodox man.
Rock is a kind of music.
That's why when l entered l felt as if rocks are falling.
Do you like Pt. Ravi Shankar's sitar?
Oh! He is famous only in foreign countries!
He is famous only outside India.
l find classical music very boring!
As a matter of fact.. what you call as classical music.. its all shit!
And all old people play music!
Except for the famous drum beater Zakhir Hussain.
Oh! What a sweet darling! He is so handsome, isn't he?
What is this! - l am sorry!
The bus stopped with a ierk!
lf the bus stopped with a ierk, then why only my shoulder?
Flirting with young girls! - Look, dear. l..
Shut up! You creepy old leech!
l know your kind! l know your kind very well!
Ogling at young girls at the least opportunity!
You dirty old man!
Mr. Lala!
Come, dear!
Thank God today l met you alone.
Anything special? - Yes, Mr. Lala.
Okay. But first tell how are you spending your youth and where.
That is the problem, Mr. Lala!
But first you promise me that father shouldn't come to know!
What are you saying?
l didn't tell your father's secrets to his father!
So why will l leak your secrets to your father?
lt's out of the question. l think you have fallen in love.
How did you come to know?
Love and problems can't be hidden.
Tell me without any hesitation!
l.. l.. Mr. Lala.. the thing is such that..
ls the girl pregnant?
Can l do this?
You can do it. You are a young man.
lf you have not done that, then it's good.
But what's the problem?
Mr. Lala.. the problem is that.. l love her a lot.
But l don't know whether she loves me or not.
That's it?
l thought its some serious matter.
lt's not difficult to find out. In a jiffy you can find out.
Assume its evening time.
The sun is setting. - The sun is setting.
And the breeze is blowing softly..
..making the sound of anklets.
Tinkle! Tinkle! Tinkle!
And from the open windows.. fresh.. - What, Mr. Lala?
Windows. Windowpane. - Okay.
And from the open windows.. fresh rose's fragrance.
And you and she are alone in this evening setting.
Have you assumed all these things? - Yes.
Let's proceed.
Embrace that girl tightly. - Embrace her!
Yes! If you won't embrace her then will you greet her!
Nowadays guys don't know anything about youth! Let it be!
You have embraced the girl. She can do only two things.
She will either give you a tight slap.
lf she slapped you then know that she is not the one.
And leave her immediately.
But if.. concentrate on this if.. if without attempting to..
..free herself she says leave me.
What are you doing? People will see us.
Then know that she too loves you.
Are you right, Mr. Lala?
l always speak the truth. l don't lie.
l have loved 5 girls in different ways. Got it?
4 of them slapped me so hard that my jaws ached for many days.
What about the fifth one? - The fifth one is your aunt!
Flowers, do you know?
Why l am feeling so happy?
Don't tell anybody my secret.
Don't tell anybody.
Why l am feeling so happy?
Don't tell anybody my secret.
Don't tell anybody.
Flowers, do you know?
Every dusk is scarlet.
Every day seems lovely.
Since the time my heart has accepted him.
Colours, do you know?
Why my heart feels so bright?
Don't tell anybody my secret.
Don't tell anybody.
Flowers, do you know?
Many times it has happened.
l can't say anything.
My eyes bow down.
Eyes, do you know?
He is my beloved.
Don't tell anybody my secret.
Don't tell anybody.
You remain seated! l won't say it to anybody!
Will you have tea?
The answer will decide whether l will have tea or a slap.
Slap? - Yes.
Assume that its evening time. Its past sun set.
The sky.. is red with embarrassment.
And the breeze is blowing softly making the sound of anklets.
Tinkle! Tinkle! Tinkle!
From the open windows.. do you understand that?
The windowpanes. - Yes!
And from the open windows.. fresh rose's fragrance.
Rose? There is no rose here!
Then assume any other flower's fragrance.
But please don't inte_ere. l forget everything.
Yes! So.. from the open windows..
..fresh rose's fragrance.
Suddenly l embrace you! - What?
Yes! l embraced you! Now what will you do?
..you will tell me.. what are you doing..
..leave me.. somebody will see us.
What kind of question is this?
Only after you give the answer will l decide..
..whether to meet your uncle.. or quietly go home.
What if l neither slap..
..you nor say anything?
Look.. please don't do that!
dlt's better if you slap me! Or you..
Oh my God! l didn't think of this answer!
Wait! l will ask Mr. Lala and come!
lf l embrace you.. and you didn't say anything..
..bowing your head.. meaning the arrow has hit the target!
Listen, you make tea for me.
And something to eat.. biscuit.. snacks.. you know.
Hurry up!
Dear, don't do this! Wear this sari! They will be here soon!
Are they coming to see me or my sari?
This is the custom!
l don't believe in these customs!
ls there some compulsion!
There is no compulsion, dear.
But Mr. Kailashpati would like to see his..
..future daughter-in-law in sari.
Come on. Wear this sari. Don't argue.
Dolly!
You?
How did you come here? - Climbing the drain pipe.
Come inside!
lf you had slipped, you would have broken your bones.
My heart shattered when l heard the news.
And you are talking about bones.
l have heard that somebody is coming to see you. - Yes!
What about me, Dolly?
This doesn't mean that the guy will marry me!
You iust watch the show. Look what l do with him.
Come. Come.
Take him. l will iust come.
Come. Have a seat.
Dolly! Dolly! - Coming, mom!
She is my daughter. She prefers talking in English. - Okay.
Yes, mom! Hi! So you have come to see me?
Look! 36-22-36!
36-22-36! Is this your telephone number?
No, mister! l am talking about my figure! 36-22-36!
Shall l walk and show you?
This shows that l am not crippled.
You heard my voice. That means l am not dumb.
Dear.. its your off. Today at least leave this stuff.
Enioy your holiday.
That is exactly what l am doing, uncle.
This is my relaxation.
Now you should get married.
Only daughter-in-law can reform you.
Have your tea.
Dhiru! Go out!
What's the matter, father?
Dear, l want to talk to you about your marriage.
What the hurry? - Yes! There is!
First tell me something!
No, father. There can't be anybody else.
After thinking a lot l have decided that..
..l will find such a girl for you who knows our values and cultures.
She should know how to respect elders.
But she shouldn't know English at all!
Do you mind?
No.. mind..
You can choose a girl who knows English and marry her.
But let me tell you something.
After your marriage l won't live in this house!
Now what about me and Ramola?
And your father wants a girl who doesn't even know ABC.
But she should be well versed in Ramayan and Mahabharat.
lt's a serious problem. - Yes, Mr. Lala!
Right now your aunt is not at home.
lf l could have another cigarette. - Yes!
Maybe my mind will start working.
lts decided that.. the kind of girl that your father wants..
..she can't be found in the city.
Only in villages do you find such girls.
That's what l am afraid of, Mr. Lala!
lf he really brought a village girl then..
..l will not marry!
Stop! Stop! Now my mind has started working!
Who are Ramola's kin? - Just an uncle.
Yes. In fact more than that.
The sacred shawl on his body.
Wig on the head. And a braid.
And a marigold flower on the braid. Village priest.
Priest? Mr. Lala, which village's priest?
The priest who lives in my house in my village.
Meaning Ramola's uncle!
What are you saying? l don't understand anything!
Quickly take me to Ramola and her uncle!
No! There is no girl in Mumbai city..
..who has not finished even her school studies.
l think Ramesh will remain unmarried.
Found one! - Found one!
Yes. But the girl is 36 years old. - No.
All the other girls are BA pass.
Our mother and grandma were not BA or MA pass!
l want such a girl who knows our culture! And not a degree!
You are right! l will have to go to village to find the girl.
Fine! Now understand this properly!
Kailashpati is a Trivedi. So you will be Chaturvedi.
lf she becomes your daughter..
..then that will be even better.
But there is no qualm in niece too. - What?
Meaning. It's okay. - Okay.
Dear, if you will ask me the meaning of each and every word..
..then it will become very difficult.
So you are Pundit Ram Prasad Chaturvedi.
But a Pundit should talk in Sanskrit.
And l don't know Sanskrit at all.
lf you don't know Sanskrit then you can become deaf.
But don't talk in English.
Never! Never! Never! - What?
l am sorry! Very, very sorry!
l mean l am really sorry!
But Mr. Lala, will it be right to deceive his father?
So will it be right for Ramola to marry somebody else..
..and for him to remain a bachelor.
But is it necessary to take the aid of lie?
lf it had not been important then has a mad dog bitten me..
..that l would tell you to do all these things.
What do you know what lie is and what truth is?
Look.. now impersonating Kailashpati l will ask you..
..some questions about Indian culture.
What do you know about Saniay? - Sanjay who?
Saniay Gandhi or Saniay Dutt?
Look at this! You found only this girl to fall in love?
No. Saniay from Mahabharat! Sanjay Uvachuk.
Give me the names of Kauravs' sister and brother-in-law.
Kauravs had a sister too?
Of course! Otherwise why would l ask?
Their sister's name was Dusheela.
And their brother-in-law's name was Jaidrat.
When Pandavs were going for the final exile..
..then why did Draupadi fall?
They were climbing a mountain, weren't they?
Yes. - She must have slipped.
No!
l have not read Mahabharat!
And now you don't even have the time to read it.
Let's do one thing. l will write down 7 questions and their answers.
You memorise that.
Mr. Lala, what if father asked the 8th question?
No, no! l mean to say emergency is unpredictable.
Even if there is any emergency..
..then we will handle it.
We will do something.
But l don't like this word emergency.
Say trouble. Trouble. - Fine. Trouble.
l wrote it. - Read out to me what you have written.
Want a bride. Cultured, virtuous, expert in household chores.
No conditions. Except that she shouldn't know English.
Yes! Now l will give this ad in all Hindi newspapers.
Why only in Hindi newspapers?
Only Hindi language is used in villages. - Oh! Yes! Yes!
What are you reading?
l am giving a matrimonial ad.
Kailashpati.. are you going to marry again?
Fool! l am searching a bride for Ramesh!
Nowadays girls are born here.
But their soul is made in England.
l want such a girl.. who is a complete Indian.
She should be versed in Ved and Puranas.
She should know Gita. She should respect Indian culture.
She should be the epitome of Indian culture and values!
Why are you giving a speech?
Why don't you clearly say that Ramesh needs Rama?
Rama who?
Rama! Rama is Chaturvedi's niece!
Who is Chaturvedi?
The priest in my village. She is his niece.
And she knows the entire Mahabharat!
She doesn't know a single word in English.
Can l meet this girl?
Yes! She is so beautiful! You can meet her whenever you want!
What you plan to do today, do it now.
lt's not possible now. - Why?
Because the train departs in the morning.
Why are you staring at me? l have not built these roads!
My body is trembling!
Pundit.. the roads Ieading to heaven..
..and an Indian daughter-in-law.. are like this only.
l will go walking!
Tell the bullocks not to feel bad. Follow us.
Saniay was Dhritraksha's messenger for war.
He would narrate an eye account..
..of Kurukshetra's great war to him.
Saniay was Dhritraksha's messenger for war.
He would narrate an eye account..
..of Kurukshetra's great war to him.
Their sister's name was Dusheela.
And their brother-in-law's name was Jaidrat.
Their sister's name was Dusheela.
And their brother-in-law's name was Jaidrat.
Pundit.. we will have to remove the slippers.
Okay!
Carefully! Carefully! - Yes!
Carefully!
Where have you brought me? - Come on!
Carefully!
Hold it! Hold it! - Give it to me! Give it to me! Come on!
Come! Come!
Come on!
Mr. Lala! The dhoti has come off. - Dhoti? How?
Come.
We have reached. Look!
Take God's name!
Come! Come!
They are coming! They are coming!
They have come? Now what?
Nothing! Why are you so unnerved?
l have brought snacks and sweets.
l have bought it from Puranmal's shop.
Now you want me to eat snacks and sweets?
Why will you eat it? Mr. Lala and father will eat it!
And listen.. you have to say that you have made it. Got it?
l don't know anything besides making tea and boiling eggs.
Now will l have to lie about this too?
You will have to lie at all cost! This is what you have to say!
And.. where is your uncle?
He.. is practicing how to tie dhoti.
Go and open the door! Come on!
And listen! Will you take this along and open the door?
No.. - Keep it in the kitchen! Go! And listen! - Yes!
Don't forget to wash their feet! Don't forget to wash their feet!
l won't! Now go!
God, please help us! Help us!
God! God! Help us!
ls Mr. Chaturvedi there?
Rama! How are you? - l am fine.
Let it be! My feet are dirty!
So what? Guest's feet are God's feet.
l will wash your feet.
Come, Kailash. Come on.
Let's wash our feet.
Lala! - Yes!
Does God still create such kind of girls?
Some credit goes to God, some to the girl's parents..
..and some to the government..
..who forgot to open an English school here.
Show! - Dear, l have washed my feet! It's okay!
There! There! There!
Come! Come! Come, Mr. Lala!
What are you saying?
Rama makes pickle at home!
Not pickle! Letter!
Letter! - Yes, yes! l received it!
He is completely deaf!
He is the guy's father Kailashpati Trivedi.
l am blessed that today you have come to my house, Vilaspati.
Not Vilas.. Kailash.. where Lord Shiva dwelled!
Fasting! How is that possible?
He has come to my house for the first time. And fasting!
Again Vilaspati!
Let him say it! Try not to make him talk too much.
Let's go.
My Rama was her parents' only child.
Poor child become orphan..
Mr. Chaturvedi! What were you saying?
She lost her parents! - Lost her parents!
Let it be! You always think about English!
What does the priest know about orphan? Let's go.
Please come. Have a seat. Have a seat.
What was the need for that, dear?
The ride in the bullock cart has made me hungry.
Wow! Wow! - l have cooked it myself.
ls that so? Even Puranmal confectioner can't make such snacks.
May God give me a long life so that l can eat this!
Kailashpati, God will give you a long life!
Uncle, here.
You brought for me too? Sit down!
Kailashpati, ask her! Come on! Ask whatever you want to ask!
Dear.. can you tell me.. who was Sanjay?
Saniay was Dhritraksha's messenger for war.
He would narrate an eye account..
..of Kurukshetra's great war to him.
Bhagwat Gita too begins with Sanju Uvachuk.
The second question is..
What were the names of Kauravs' sister and brother-in-law?
Their sister's name was Dusheela.
And their brother-in-law's name was Jaidrat.
Wow! Wow! Dear, even l didn't remember this!
So dear, tell me.
When Pandavs were going for the final exile..
Then.. - Then.. why did Nakul fall?
What?
Have you come to find a daughter-in-law..
..or a Sanskrit school?
l can tell you why Draupadi fell.
But l can't tell you why Nakul fell.
No need to say it.
Because dear, the thing is that..
..even l had got stuck by asking this question.
Even l don't know the answer.
Dear, let's have a religious discourse. - Really!
She sings too!
ls that so?
Yashoda is looking all around.
Nand Kishore is hiding somewhere.
Yashoda is looking all around.
Nand Kishore is hiding somewhere.
Mother says come to me.
Now don't harass me, Kanaiya.
Yashoda is looking all around.
The milkmaids said what do l say about that naughty child?
He broke somebody's pot.
He didn't listen. Though l scolded him so much.
Kanaiya.
Yashoda is looking all around.
Kanha says the entire community has become my enemy.
You too are blaming me.
Yashoda is looking all around.
Nand Kishore is hiding somewhere.
Pundit, was this long journey successful?
Successful? If l had not come here then..
..l would have lost the opportunity to see a nice place.
How were the snacks?
Snacks and the sweets! - Sweets!
l had two..
Get up!
Hold me!
Lala, the snacks and sweets must have got digested.
Come on! Let's go home!
My back is paining!
Dhiru! Dhiru!
Sir, what has happened to you?
l have broken my bones. Is Ramesh there?
Yes. - Call him. Come on, Lala!
Sir! Sir! - What happened, uncle Dhiru?
Quickly go down! Your father is calling you!
No matter what you say, Lala.
That girl was worth all the troubles.
Had she not been worthy then..
..why would l have made you travel so far?
Did you call me, father?
You both father and son.. - Sit, Lala!
Look, son. We both had gone to see a girl for you. - Okay.
l like her a lot. She is beautiful.. cultured.
But she doesn't know English at all!
Why are you telling me all these things, father?
Because you only have to marry her.
You only have to spend your life with her.
You buy my clothes.
You only chose my iob.
He chose your mother too.
..to obey my father.
Wow! Son should be like him!
You are an ideal son! Did you see this?
You have put your youth at stake..
..for your father's happiness.
Your name should have been Ram Chandra..
..and not Ramesh Chandra.
Come, dear. Come.
Sister-in-law, they must be tired.
Take them to their room and let them rest.
Yes, yes, surely. Come.
Lala, you too go.
Liyakat, sit! - Yes!
Do you find such a daughter-in-law in the city?
She is the form of Goddess.
lt's all because of Lala.
Pardon me. Why are you all coming? - Come!
Let the bride and the groom rest. You all go down.
Sit!
Listen.. you must be reminiscing..
..about your nuptial night room.
You have lost your mind!
Aren't you ashamed to talk like this in front of them!
Since the time you have entered my life..
..l don't feel ashamed at all!
Get lost!
But Ramesh.. our nuptial night's room was special!
Jasmine flowers on the bed.
And she was lying over those delicate flowers.
Oh my God!
You trouble aunt a lot!
lf l had not harassed her then she would have..
..remained here till morning.
And what would you both have done?
But l have got you both married. - That's true.
But l am really scared.
What will happen when we will be caught?
Dear, why are you afraid?
l have known Kailashpati for the past 40 years.
He has a soft and sweet heart like Lucknow's sweet.
By serving him, you will win his heart.
Mr. Lala, you have done a big favour on us.
We will never forget it.
And l won't let you forget it! Give me a cigarette!
Aunt will scold you!
You either give me a cigarette!
Or l will tell your father that she knows English!
No, not daddy! Here is your cigarette.
But if you say.. l will keep the entire packet.
l have seen the wedding procession!
Crackers all around!
And showers of crackers!
But amidst all these, he was in trouble!
Come, dear!
Greetings. - God bless you!
Dear, right now you are amidst so many father-in-laws!
They have come. Touch their feet and they will bless you.
God bless you!
Just praising her won't do!
lf you had brought another daughter-in-law..
..she would have iust said hi uncle!
Fine. l will tell my daughter-in-law to cook snacks.
Snacks?
Yes! Did you forget?
That day daughter-in-law had cooked delicious snacks!
l am still licking my fingers!
So soft that it melts at your touch.
So dear.. cook it for everybody.
Daughter-in-law has come yesterday only.
My daughter-in-law is not a modern woman!
She is a village girl! Kitchen is like her maternal house.
Am l right, dear? - Yes.
Then let's have hot snacks. Go and cook it.
No betel leaf! l will iust come!
Dear, why are you crying?
Now l am caught!
We are caught!
From where had you got the snacks that day?
From.. Puranmal. - The one that is at the corner of the street?
Yes!
Look.. you go in the kitchen. And make sounds of vessels.
l will iust be back! l will just be back!
Rama! Take this! Snacks!
Thank you, uncle! - No English in this house!
Okay!
Lala!
Lala.. why are you panting?
You don't get betel leaf everywhere. - Is that so?
Unnecessarily l had to wander.
And l was afraid that you all gluttons would eat all the snacks.
lt's still not ready! - Yes!
Look!
Daughter-in-law! Where are the snacks?
Why are you so slow?
Take this. - Thanks.
Here. - God bless you.
God bless you.
Thanks, dear!
Dear, listen! What's the recipe? - What?
Recipe!
Liyakat, talk in Hindi!
Poor girl can't understand English!
He is asking how do you cook this snack? Tell him, dear.
l..
Dear, l think this snack is made of flour? - Yes!
And maybe even grinded lentils. - Yes. Lentils.
And maybe asafoetida. - Yes. Asafoetida!
Did you see this? She knows everything! Got it?
Very good, dear. Now you go.
Liyakat! You need expertise to cook snacks!
And you need magic of the hand!
And if you like snacks so much..
..and you want to eat it again.. then you will have to..
..inform her one day in advance.
So that l don't have to run around so much.
Father!
Ramesh was 10 years old.
When your mother-in-law died.
Since then.. l have been Iooking after this house.
Now that you have come.. l can relax.
She too is so happy. Take her blessings.
Dear, this is not a house. It's your mother-in-law's temple.
Now this house's honour lies in your hand.
Don't ever lie. Don't ever hurt anybody.
May you always remain happy!
Go! It's quite late in the night. Now you go to sleep.
Rama!
Rama, what's the matter?
l can't do it! Now l can't do all this!
Now l can't tolerate this lie!
Have patience, Rama!
How long? You only tell me how long?
Everyday, all the time my soul shuns me!
And l have only lied to him!
How long will l carry the burden of this sin?
l can't take it anymore! l will just go and hold his feet!
And l will tell him.. father, l am not trustworthy!
lf you did that then we will lose father forever!
l know father very well!
He punishes himself for other's mistakes too!
lf you told him this now.. then he won't say..
..anything to anybody.
And he will quietly leave the house.
Then what should l do?
You only tell me what l should do.
Look.. at that time too l only had forced you to lie!
Because l didn't want to lose you!
And now l too l am stopping you..
..because l don't want to lose him!
Rama, l don't know why he thinks that..
..those girls who know English..
..they can't be a good daughter-in-law!
Now with your service and dedication..
..you are winning his heart.
lf he finds out after some time..
..then l am sure that he will forgive us.
We will convince him, Rama.
But right now don't tell him anything.
Have faith in me, Rama!
Where is Ramesh? - l will just call him.
Let it be. Just sit. l will call him.
Ramesh! O Ramesh!
Coming, father!
Did you see this?
Your buttermilk has made my voice so strong!
Yes, father!
You have to go to your in-laws' house today..
..with daughter-in-law!
Why in-laws' house?
What do you mean why? It's the ritual!
After marriage daughter-in-law must be missing her maternal house.
But father..
And think about her father too.
lf you will talk and laugh with him for 24 days..
..then even he will feel better.
Make buttermilk for him!
Even his voice will become strong!
Go and get ready!
You have to go today itself before 12 o'clock!
l have checked the holy calendar. Go!
Okay.
Now what? Will we have to visit that terrifying village again?
No! We will get down at any station on the route!
We will have our honeymoon in some good hotel for 24 days.
And then we will come back. Let's go.
Sir! Tea! - Keep it!
What's the matter, sir?
Nowadays you seem so lost.
What do l tell you, Bholu?
Since the time Rama has gone to her in-laws' house..
..l feel lonely in this house.
Then go and meet her once.
Sir, she is your niece.
What's the harm in going to your niece's house?
Quickly bring my black suitcase, stick and marigold flower.
Marigold flower? - Do as l say!
Okay!
Stop here!
How much? - 2 rupees.
Here.
Rama! Rama!
Who is it? Priest, you!

Just now Rama and Ramesh have left to meet you.
What did you say?
Just now Rama and Ramesh have left to meet you.
To meet me? - Yes.
Then l will leave!
No, no, no! This is not possible! This is not possible!
You must have broken your bones by riding that bullock cart.
No, no! Tonight you stay here! Rest.. - What did you say?
Rest! Tomorrow we both will go to the village!
We both? - Yes!
And we will surprise them. - No, no! Let me go!
Come upstairs! - Let me go! Let me go!

Ask any horse carriage. It will take you there.
Thank you. This is called fate. Honeymoon Hotel.
Come.
How much? - 2 rupees.
2 rupees!
Take 5 rupees! Are you happy? - Thanks!
Come!
Why did you give him 5 rupees?
What you call as 5 rupees..

And we are going to have the first and the last honeymoon.
We both are happy. So the world too should be happy.
Let them enioy. Come.
He said Honeymoon Hotel. This is Hanuman Hotel.

And he said Chirongiilal, stay alert.
One loafer has eloped with a minister's daughter.
And tell me, your hotel's name was Honeymoon Hotel, right?
Why did you change it to Hanuman hotel?
Look, mister. l am an orthodox man.
During our times there never was any honeymoon.

Oh! Good!
But will we get good food in your hotel?
'Biryani' (Flavoured Rice), Korma..

Yes, mister. Here is the key of room number 17. Take it.
How long do we have to wait to make a call to Mumbai?

The season is the same.
Then why does the old story seems new?

Since the time you have spread in my life like fragrance.
lnspector, no need to come quickly.
They both have gone for an outing.

Yes, yes! Inspector, you don't worry.

Okay.
But l will have to arrest you.
Won't you treat me with your wedding feast?
Some other time!
Right now quickly take us to Laxmipur in your jeep!
But why did you write your name as Mansukhlal here?
When he can change his hotel's name..

That's the limit! Let's go! - Money!
Yes, the bill!
Manager, keep 500 rupees.

Let's go on foot!
Marsh? This is the village's dry path.
Now if he spoke, then l will beat him.

Fine! Fine! Now you go! - Okay!
And you too quickly go and become illiterate..

Sita Ram! Sita Ram! Sita Ram! Sita Ram!

Come! Come! Come! Come!
Uncle! - Come!
Father! Uncle, where had you gone?
Father, bless me! - God bless you, dear! - Oh my God!
Dear, why do you feel shy? Consider him as a family member.
lf not for him, then we would have been..
..stuck with that bullock cart till evening.
She is a village girl. She feels shy in front of another man.
Sir, permit me! l am in a hurry!
A guy has eloped with a minister's daughter who is MA pass!
MA pass? - Yes! That too in English medium!
The girl has eloped with the guy.
Listen, dear. - Yes.

You are right. But what has brought you here?
l had come here to sell paintings.
Not me! My fiancé. Ms. Gayatri Gaitonde.
But l lovingly call her Aianta. She looks like Ajanta's status!
Darling, he is Ramesh the clock mender.
He is my friend.
So did you sell your painting?
No! In this country nobody appreciates art.
Yes! In this country only moving paintings sell.
l mean movies.
You don't get deiected, darling.
l will buy all your paintings.
And l will hang the paintings in my office.
Carefully, darling. From here.
Father. - Give it, dear. Sit. l want to talk to you.
Are you happy, dear? - A lot, father.
l think my specs number has changed.
lt has been 6 months since you have come here.
Not even once did l see you really happy.
You seem nervous and scared.
This is not so, father.
Father.. shall l ask you something? - What, dear?
l always wonder that had l been educated then..
Who said that you are not educated?
Does knowledge of English language makes you educated?
Shankaracharya, Tulsidas, Kabir, Guru Nanak..
..Meer, Galib.. were all of them illiterate?
ls it so wrong to learn English, father?
No right education can ever be bad, dear.
And each language of the world is sacred like Ganga.
l am not against English language.
l have done MA in English literature.
Good education is the one which takes us ahead.
But the outcome of English education is that..
..its deteriorating our culture and its making people..
..accept foreign culture as their culture.
..both are wrong.
But they didn't have to borrow English language to progress.
ln our unfortunate country.. knowing English..
..is considered more important than knowing our own culture.
We defeated the British rulers, dear.
But English language defeated us.
This is the result of 200 years of slavery.
Don't trouble yourself by thinking that you don't know English.
Go. Listen!
Do you ever feel that you share a bond of..
..many lifetimes with this house and this family?
You had come here as a mother, daughter-in-law, daughter.
Yes. - This is called being cultured.
l am your daughter only.
Never! Never!
Had you been my daughter you would have left me..
..a long time ago and gone to your in-laws house!
l bless you! God bless you!
Mr. Lala, you and here? So suddenly?
You should have called me!
The thing is that l want to tell you a secret..
..and l can only say it when we are alone.
What's the matter, Mr. Lala? First have a seat! Come!
l am coming from your house.
And l was shocked to see Rama.
She is being pulled in the swarm of our lies.
When l pestered her to tell me she only said that father..
..will never forgive an English speaking daughter-in-law who lies.
She is right, Mr. Lala!
Sit! l think now we should tell your father the truth.
You know father. He hates lies.
And if this secret is exposed then he will never forgive us.
And Mr. Lala, we have to save Ramola from father's wrath.
Especially in this condition. - What condition?
Mr. Lala.. Ramola is pregnant.
Wow! Very good!
Because when the child will be born..
..Pundit's heart will surely melt.
But till the time the child is born..
Your company must be having some branch in Pune.
Yes. There is a branch.
Then tell uncle to transfer you there. It ends the matter.
At least it will save that poor girl from this fear..
..that she can be caught anytime.
What are you reading?
Nothing, father. l was not reading it.
l was looking at the watch.
You like watches. Why didn't you tell me?
Fine. Tomorrow l will get a better watch than this one for you.
Look at the snaps.
Rama! Rama!
You have come?
l have some good news for you!
Good news? What good news?
l told sir.. l mean l told uncle to transfer me to Pune branch.
Now all your problems will be solved.
What about father? - Father will stay here only.
You are always afraid that God knows what will happen..
..and when you will be caught!
That's why l have thought of this solution.
Now you will live with me peacefully in Pune.
l understood that. But who will look after father?
Uncle Dhiru is there!
Uncle Dhiru was there before marriage too.
Then what was the need of a daughter-in-law in this house?
lf you want to go to Pune, then you can go alone!
l won't leave father and go anywhere!
This is not some good news!
Rama! Rama, listen to me!
Father, take this.
Yes. Yes, father. Because..
l know the reason.
ls serving your father-in-law more important..
..that my husband should have a long life.
My whole life is there to serve my husband.
l want to serve you.
Wow! Wow! Wow! You go to Pune.
l will tell Ramesh to bring you here every Saturday.
And to return on Monday morning.
ln this way you can serve your father-in-law..
..as well as your husband.
This is called doing two things at the same time. Now tell me.
As you say, father.
Then go and tell Ramesh. - Okay.
Wow! May God bestow a long life on Lala!
What a nice daughter-in-law!
Coming, uncle!
Take this.
Dear, are you happy? - A lot, uncle!
Only one problem torments me.
l am lying to my Godly father.
Here is the biscuit.
Now you have become the general manager.
Paint the house. Buy new furniture.
Yes, sir.
Look.. now l am your father-in-law!
lf you addressed me as sir then l will..
And l will expose everything.
This is the address. How much? - 3.75 rupees!
Here is 3.75 rupees!
Oh my God! Father has arrived!
Now what?
You hide uncle quickly! l will bring father! Hurry up!
Dear, in the kitchen.. - No, uncle!
Father is coming here for the first time!
Quickly hide in the bathroom! - Bathroom!
Come on! Come on! - Hurry up!
Oh God!
Come, father.
Come. - Daughter-in-law!
Daughter-in-law!
Father, you didn't inform us that you are coming!
God bless you! God bless you!
l had no intention of coming!
l iust felt like meeting you people. So l came.
Son.. l want to use the bathroom.
lts there. Go. - Okay! There!
ls somebody inside? - No, father.
You must have shut the door tightly!
How many times l have said that the wood has expanded!
Remind me to bring the carpenter tomorrow.
Father, there is a bathroom downstairs too.
You can use that one. - Yes.
There is a bathroom downstairs too? - Yes!
Okay! Saved! Come on! Hurry up!
All the things in this house are weird, father!
At times the flush starts on its own. At times it stops on its own.
Remind me to bring the plumber tomorrow.
This is a haunted house. l won't stay here, father!
l will come to Mumbai with you.
Right now father wants to go to the bathroom and not to Mumbai!
Take him to the bathroom. - Yes! Quickly!
Hurry up! - Come!
Open it!
Why did you pull the flush?
Dear, Ramola had locked me in the bathroom.
ln my nervousness.. did you understand?
Yes. l will send Ramola out with father under some pretext.
After that you can leave. - Okay.
Now stay inside. - Okay.
And lock the door from inside. - Okay.
Durgeshwari.. eat the peanuts from Pune.
lt must have been a month since we met.
You always talk about food.
Wrong! For the past one month..
..l am after you, Durgeshwari!
Did l ever eat? No. In fact l gave you to eat.
Day and night you are busy in your social work.
You don't eat on time. You don't sleep on time.
lf anything happened to you.. then what about social reform?
After all you should live to eat.
l mean you should eat to live.
But there should be some other reason..
..for living besides eating, Mansukh.
lf not for me, then eat to survive.
Hi, Ramola! How are you? How are you?
What is this? Vermillion and bindi.
Did you marry that clock mender?
Eat sweets! - Loafer!
Who is he?
Must be some loafer! Unwanted guest!
Let's go, father! - You did the right thing! You look slim!
But you slapped him hard. Loafer! Ruffian!
Thank you!
Who was she? - Ramola!
Ramola who? - The one in yellow sari!
But who is she? - Ramola!
The entire India can be reformed. But you won't reform.
There is only one cure of your ailment.
Durgeshwari!
Why are you sitting here?
l have bad news! - What happened?
l had gone for a stroll in the park with father.
l met brother Mansukh there.
Seeing me he said, hi Ramola. How are you?
Father was staring at him.
l couldn't understand what to do. l gave him a tight slap.
Slap.. - And l also said loafer.
l want to go out under some pretext and apologise to him.
Fine. Let's go to the market.
Let's inform father. Come.
Father! - Son, who was reading science book?
She. - What?
l mean l was reading it for her.
You see.. she should have some general knowledge.
l see! Dear, you.. l understood! l understood!
Fool, why don't you call a doctor? Will you treat her?
Dear, next week when you will come to Mumbai..
..l will take you to a nice doctor.
Father, we have to buy a few things from the market.
Go and buy it!
Father, shall l also go with him?
Okay. l too will come. - No, no, father!
You rest here. It's very hot outside. You rest here.
Okay. Okay. - Let's go.
Darling! Come soon!
Without you, it's paining a lot!
Brother Mansukh!
Come, clock mender. Have a seat. - Thank you.
Can you mend broken cheeks?
Brother Mansukh, l am really sorry. Forgive me.
l will forgive you later. First tell me why did you slap me?
That's a long story. - Then tell me the headline.
Actually the thing is that l have married him.
l had to lie to his father that l am an illiterate girl.
A poor clock mender.
Brother, the thing is that you started talking to her in English.
So she had to slap you to save herself.
But why did she slap me so hard?
ln my nervousness. Brother, please forgive me.
No! In the park l thought that l will never forgive you.
Then l found out that you have done..
..a favour on me by slapping me.
lf you had slapped me 2 years ago..
..then it would have been so good.
How so?
Look.. first you slapped me.
My iaw broke. l had to go to the hospital.
But there l realized.. that the woman whom l was searching..
..for so many lifetimes.. l have found her.
Want to meet her? - Yes.
Florence! Florence!
Florence darling! - Yes, darling!
Darling, meet her. She is Romala.
And he is her husband Ramesh the clock mender.
Greetings. - Greetings.
Darling, sit besides me. Please.
Now how is your pain, darling?
Darling.. when you are with me..
..then all my pain disappears.
You are combination of Tiger balm, Aspro, Asprin..
..Codopyrin, darling.
What happened, father?
Nothing, dear. l have gas problem.
Since when? l mean since when are you suffering from it?
lt suddenly started iust now.
Father, a cab..
What happened, father?
Some gas problem. - Gas problem?
And what did the doctor say? Its heart problem.
What! - Yes!
Cardiac insufficiency.. some English word.
l didn't understand. What will you understand?
Father, please don't go today.
Listen to her. Did you hear?
Look at this! l am absolutely fine! Let's go, Ramesh!
Will you be stubborn? - Yes.
Even if anything happened on the route..
..then are you a doctor that you will save me?
l will get ready in 5 minutes. You come with me.
She must have been my mother in my past birth.
lf it's a serious matter, then shall l also come?
l am there. You immediately call Mr. Lala!
And take a heart specialist's appointment.
We will have to take him there immediately.
l will do that. But you Iook after yourself.
lf the pain starts again then place half a pill of Sorbitait..
..below his tongue.
She doesn't know English. Give me the instruction.
Look.. you can't get up from the bed.
You can't even go to the bathroom.
You will have to do everything on the bed.
You need complete bed rest. Got it?
Come, Mr. Lala.
Kailashpati, now you will have to be really careful.
Cardiogram shows that he has got strokes before too.
Mr. Lala, you have to be careful.
God forbids if anything happened again..
..then inform me immediately.
Or directly take him to some hospital. - Okay.
l will leave now. - Shall l see you to the door?
No need. - Okay.
Uncle, l think we should call Ramesh.
Yes. l will call him immediately. And you don't worry.
l will stay here the whole night.
l am not worried.
l am thinking l am so unfortunate. Being a doctor..
God is really kind. Everything will be fine.
You go down. And tell Dhiru to bring tea for all of us.
Okay. - Go!
Look.. don't be stubborn.
Why? What were you both whispering?
Look, Pundit! Don't talk at all!
l was iust telling daughter-in-law that..
..next month we will throw a grand bash..
..to celebrate your birthday.
And l will give you a present. - What present?
You are a heart patient. l will present a doctor to you.
Doctor! If that doctor too turned out to be like him..
..then l don't want any doctor!
Why are you worrying? l will give you a lady doctor.
What a doctor you had brought!
l am a pure Brahmin.
l don't even look on that side without..
..winding the sacred thread on my ear.
And that fool was saying that..
Look, fatso! You will have to do everything here only!
As far as sacred thread is concerned, l will wind it in my ear.
Kailashpati! Kailashpati! Rama! Rama!
Kailashpati!
Rama! Rama!
What happened? - Something has happened to Kailashpati!
Come quickly!
Rama! - Mr. Lala, call Dr. Shah.
Till then l will give Pethylen injection to father.
But dear.. - Our lie will be exposed.
Yes! - Father won't forgive us!
l am a doctor too.
Kailashpati!
Move.
Father.. is it paining a lot? - Yes, dear.
Now you will feel better. l will give you the injection.
Yes, father. l didn't tell you this.. that l am a doctor.
Mr. Trivedi, now you are out of danger.
But you have to be really carefully.
Actually your daughter-in-law is the one who saved you.
lf you had not given him that injection immediately..
..then God knows what would have happened.
l will leave now. Now you will have to listen to her.
Let's go, Mr. Lala. - Come.
Give. - Thank you.
Come.
Father.. take your medicine.
This is not a house. It's Ramesh's mother's temple.
But you lied!
Forgive me, father.
l never forgive a liar!
Father.. l agree that l had lied.
When l was quite young.. l lost my parents.
l was raised by my uncle.
Since childhood l had a dream.
That someday l will have my own house.
l will have a father. l will be loved.
That's why l took the aid of lie.
Please have your medicine.
l don't have any bond with a liar!
l don't even take water offered by them!
Fine, father! l will leave. l will leave forever.
But in the last 8 months.. if l have served you well..
..if you have some love for me..
..then please have this medicine.
lf not mine, then take it from the nurse's hand!
Nothing, uncle Dhiru!
Now l can't live in this house! l am a liar! l am a liar!
Kailashpati! What am l hearing?
You have told daughter-in-law to leave the house!
To hell with the truth that breaks a happy family!
There is no place for liars in my house.
Then listen to me carefully, Pundit!
Why? What did Ramesh do?
Father.. Rama was always against lying.
But l only forced her, father.
And l helped Ramesh.
..for the sake of your foolishness!
lf daughter-in-law has to leave this house for lying..
..then there is no place for you too in this house.
What you thought about educated girl..
..was that not a lie?
Rama was educated but she pretended to be an illiterate.
So she is a liar!
And she served and respected you for 8 months!
Was that not true?
Look at the sacrifice of this girl, Kailashpati!
Knowing that by doing so her world will shatter.
Was that not true?
Today you have told her to leave the house.
And a week ago you used to praise her so much.
Shameless! You didn't even think that she is carrying your heir.
God might forgive you. But l will never forgive you.
Ramesh.. call daughter-in-law. Tell her that l have called her.
Rama! Rama!
What happened, dear?
l don't know. She was here only.
l think she has gone to her uncle's house.
Uncle Dhiru, look after father. l will go and bring her.
Where is daughter-in-law?
l think she has gone to uncle's house.
Oh! You go and call Lala.
Forgive me, dear.
What is this? Who told you to leave your bed?
What do you think of yourself?
l agree that this is your house.
But you don't have any right not to pay heed to a doctor!
Scold me, dear. Scold me.
After my mother died when l was small..
..there was nobody to scold me.
So l thought whatever l think and do, that is right.
You fill that dearth of mother, dear. Scold me.
Father!
Has daughter-in-law come? - No!
Where did she go?
Mr. Lala, what if she has taken some wrong step?
What wrong step? - No.. l mean suicide..
Why are you so worried for such a girl?
An elderly man scolded her a bit and she has raised such commotion.
Another wife?
l think along with your heart, your mind too has become weak!
You banished such a nice girl! And you don't even regret it!
Regret it? l have no regret for such a daughter-in-law!
You don't worry, son. l have selected a nice girl for you.
Do you want to meet her?
Come inside, dear!
Did you see? How l fooled both of you!
You won't reform!
Father! What happened? Father! Please relax!
Daughter-in-law, not relax.. say rest. Rest.
