Hello? This is Nathan.
'This is Srini. I have admitted ma'am at the hospital.'
'The doctor doubts that she'll survive.'
'She will enquire about you once she regains consciousness.'
'I couldn't find your phone number.'
'That is why, I couldn't inform you earlier.'
'Just visit her once. Don't ignore it.'
'She wishes to see everyone. Poor thing!'
I know.. - 'Please.' - ...understand my situation.
Take care of her. I'll call you later.
'The thing is..' - Okay?
What's the problem? - My aunt's condition has worsened it seems.
Do you have to go? - Should I?
No.
She will want to live a bit longer when she sees her loved ones.
We should not raise false hopes.
Don't go. Let her die peacefully.
Why can't you drive properly? - Lift him up..
Careful!
Who.. What happened? - Careful! - Wait, I'm coming.
Hello, this is Nathan.
'We are waiting for you.' - Srini, I told you, didn't I?
I'm very busy. I can't just come leaving everything.
What happened? What did the MD say?
Can we see him today? - 'I'm sorry. I couldn't talk to him.'
'We are in a tentative state.'
'People have come for inspection from the headquarters.'
I've been here for two days. I came here to meet him.
'He has to give an appointment, right? Such things are not easy.'
'Be patient.' - You make it sound so simple.
I have been patient for a year and a half without a job.
How long should I wait? - Sir, here's your tea.
I need to get some job.
Can you help me or not? Tell me that.
'I know your situation.'
'But I can't issue appointment orders on my own.'
'I think he will be free by tomorrow.'
'I'll talk to him and inform you.'
'Have faith. Everything will be fine.'
Okay. I'll wait. - 'Okay, bye.'
The child has been suffering from fever for two days.
I can take him to a doctor only if I have money.
'Try to manage with the medicines you have.'
It's all over. - 'You do know our situation, don't you, Deepti?'
When will you come here? - 'I haven't got an appointment yet.'
'He is making me wait. What did you do with the money I gave you?'
Dear, I have household expenses too. What should I do?
Whom can I ask for help in this city? - 'I can't come now.'
I'm completely broke. Try to make arrangements.
'Okay, I'll try.'
'Deepti, Hari is calling me. I'll call you later. Take care.' - Dear?
We have burdened you.
Yes, it is. If you had gone to a doctor when the fever began
it would have been easier.
My husband is in Bangalore. He said that he would come today.
But he hasn't come yet.
Bangalore? Is he working there?
No, he has gone there to attend an interview.
The company that he had been working earlier was shut down.
So, I got an opportunity to help you.
Here you go, sir. - Thank you.
The doctor needs a scan. - How many times more?
Here.
This is not a charity hospital. We need to pay here.
You leave now, sir. I'll take care.
We have burdened you a lot. - Yes, I have a lot of work to do.
Yes, ma'am. Tell me.
Hey, where's the drink that I ordered? - Sorry, sir.
Are you serving it for free? I do pay you for this, don't I?
How dare you serve local stuff.. - Excuse me, sir. Sorry, sir.
...when I had ordered imported alcohol!
You have spoilt our mood! - Did you do it on purpose? - Go now.
Okay, ma'am. - What's the problem?
Look who's here! - What sort of service do you have here?
What? - Are you trying to cheat the customers?
You could do some other business. - Behave yourself.
Hey, why should we respect you? - Does the truth make you angry?
Look here. - This is horrible. Taste this yourself.
Don't talk to the likes of her. - Out! Get out!
How dare you send us out! - We'll ruin you!
Come on.
They're being arrogant.. - Good morning, ma'am.
Let's demolish it..
Didn't you meet the minister today?
You said you were going to come today. That's why
I told him that I couldn't come today.
He was a bit angry.
What happened? You seem to be in deep thought.
Anything can happen to my aunt at any moment.
Oh!
Shouldn't I go? - No.
Life is better without relations.
I mean, there will be no problems.
I disowned everyone to be alone.
Why are you so disturbed then?
No, nothing like that.
I was thinking of something else.
A child is sick. I took him to the hospital.
Very good. Are you doing social service now?
I don't know. I don't believe in those things.
I know.
Social scientists like you don't care about the society.
The only thing important to you is your social research.
You have studied, achieved
earned money more than you could possibly want
and you have status and fame.
Are you fed up with them?
Is that why you do social service now?
But it has nothing to do with your principles.
I have no such thoughts. - Why did you help him then?
It is all a case study.
Millions of people are unemployed here.
Sixty percent of the unemployed are married.
The situation in the families of all those came before my eyes.
But one thing, the wives of the unemployed are sad.
They have doubts. Their faces are full of pain.
But this child's mother wasn't like that.
I could see a radiance in her face.
But that may change.
Is that so? You helped the child's mother, right?
Hey, I'm not a womaniser.
I need women to satisfy the lust of my body.
But there should be no emotional attachments in it.
I don't crave after every woman. That's not my style.
I helped the woman pitying her situation.
Poverty is the reason for her sufferings.
I'm writing a book about that poverty now.
Poverty cannot be abolished.
Poverty is not a choice.
The trip to Bangalore was just a waste of money.
We could have paid the monthly rent with that money.
I trusted Hari so much. He cheated me.
What to do? This is all my fate.
What's the use of a job so far?
Do you know how much I suffered without you?
Shall I get a job?
A job? In this city?
You know Ms. Chandrika who lives upstairs, don't you?
Her daughter's school has a vacancy for a teacher.
The salary would be useful for us.
Who will look after the child if you go to work? Me?
I'm wondering how to pay the rent this month.
Who knows when the owner will kick us out.
Okay, bye.
Sir?
Who's it?
It's me. You took my child to the hospital
when he was sick.
Oh. What's the matter?
Tell me, what's the matter?
Okay, come in.
Sit down.
How's your child now?
The fever has gone down. But he is very tired.
Medicines aren't enough. He needs good food.
He will be cured only if he eats healthy food.
You have to do another help for me.
I came here without knowing what to do.
We haven't paid the house rent for two months.
I have only these.
If you give me Rs. 5000 or Rs. 6000 for this..
This is not worth even Rs. 2000.
Women sell their jewellery with heavy hearts. Isn't that so?
I don't have any worries.
These jewels aren't enough for the money you ask.
And not only that, I have a lot of work to do.
I don't have time to sell these for money.
You said that your husband is out of work now, right?
Why don't you send him?
He does not know about this.
So I did not tell him.
I asked whether I can get a job
but he did not agree.
Money wouldn't come to you on its own, seeing your suffering.
I've no plans to start lending money. I'll tell you if I do.
You can return it after your husband gets a job.
I'll return it once he gets his first salary.
Let him get a job first. We'll see about it then.
He will definitely get a job soon.
Praying to God for a job isn't enough.
You should search for a job.
You have to meet people.
What's the matter, dear? Mother will be back now.
Don't cry.
Did you get the money?
Did he give you immediately? - Come inside.
I have told him that you don't know about this.
Rs. 500 for the electricity bill. Rs. 500 for the rent.
We'll manage somehow. What was he doing?
Was he drinking alcohol? - Yes, but he was writing something.
I disturbed him. - He must have given the money being intoxicated.
Don't talk like that. He is a good man.
He has a good heart. - He is very haughty too.
It is not a wrong thing to be haughty.
It is common to be haughty when you have knowledge.
Let's pay back the debt with this money.
This is not a permanent job to start paying our debts.
I got the money from the contractor as a commission by chance.
We won't get it after this.
I don't know whether I'll get it again.
What's the hurry? We'll pay later.
No, pay it now. - What? Me?
You go and give it back yourself.
You could thank him.
That wouldn't be right. How can I go there?
Won't he think badly of me if I go to pay the debt?
How can I go there myself every time?
You don't have to go there all the time. Just this once.
And another thing. Ask him if he can get me a job.
He is an influential person.
In fact, he's not a man who lives in such cheap flats.
Why is he here then? - I heard about him from the flat owner.
Don't ask him. When these flats were being built
it seems many wealthy men booked them.
Later, due to some loss, they filed a case against the builder.
So they sold it cheap and this man bought it then.
Okay, I'll leave now.
I have to meet Madhu and give him a treat.
I got the commission because of him.
Deepti, don't forget to ask him about a job.
If he tries, I can get a job easily.
Sir?
Who's it?
I came here to pay back the debt.
Keep it on the table and leave.
I want to ask you something else.
What? Ask.
If you don't mind, can you get a job
for my husband somewhere?
I do mind.
Everyone should live their own lives.
That's my principle. Do you understand?
I don't have time
to live somebody else's life.
Not only that. I'm celebrating today. Okay?
Are you ill?
No. Who said that? I'm very happy today.
I feel great. I'm at the peak of happiness.
A person very close to me is dead.
That person is finally no more.
There's nobody in the world to question me now.
There is no one to be happy nor to be sad.
I have complete independence.
Now I can live as I want to. So, shouldn't I celebrate it?
I should celebrate.
You came in just when I wanted to celebrate.
I should celebrate, right?
Your neck is as beautiful as a conch.
Sir, what are you doing?
Oh, it's okay if you don't like it.
Sorry.
Go.
A job for my husband?
I don't have time to take care of others troubles.
I have to celebrate my happiness.
Sir..
If you need something, come back later.
I need to be alone for some time.
You never looked so beautiful before.
This is
wrong, sir.
"My heart melts"
"because of the fire that burns in me."
"My body blooms all over"
"because of you."
"My heart melts"
"because of the fire that burns in me."
"My body blooms all over.." - You are not angry, are you?
"...because of you."
"With the longing in my heart.." - Are you angry with me?
"...this thirst is not wrong." - Do you know something?
"Talk of beauty.." - My celebration is complete with you.
You are as beautiful as an angel.
"My heart melts"
"because of the fire that burns in me."
I felt something when I saw you today.
"My body.." - I get that feeling sometimes.
That is why I asked you immediately.
Okay, tell me your husband's qualifications.
"When the rain and the sun"
"appear in the sky"
"a fault or a mistake"
"seems to be a battle in my heart."
"No man realises the complete happiness"
"that a woman searches for."
"When their needs are satisfied"
"the state of the woman goes unnoticed."
"My heart melts"
"because of the fire that burns in me."
"My body blooms all over"
"because of you."
The middle-class people of India
do not let go their fighting spirit in the midst of any problem.
But how much can a person fight? Every struggle has an end.
What is poverty?
It is earning below the average percentage of wages.
In fact, many developing countries
have abolished poverty and are following
the principles of the developed countries.
The peak of patience is in poverty.
I waited patiently for a year and ten months.
I have got a good job as a result.
Mr. Nathan has recommended me very strongly.
They would not have called me and offered a job.
My general manager respects him highly.
Who would have known that he had such influence?
Deepti, it's getting late. Come out soon. - I'm coming.
Quick. Get ready soon today. Okay?
Did you notice something? I was very surprised.
We have a lot of relatives and friends.
But who helped us in our trouble?
A man who has no relation towards us.
I can't hide this just because he helped us.
Mother. - Yesterday, I had gone to his house
to thank him for the job.
He was so harsh in his words.
I don't know how people respect him.
But we shouldn't talk bad about him because he has helped us.
But I don't understand one thing.
How did you impress that guy?
That is a great achievement.
Why are you so fragrant today?
What's the occasion?
Okay. Hey, if you keep roaming around like this, we'll be late.
The movie will be over by the time we reach.
Drat! This is why I told you that we could eat out on the way.
You don't listen to me.
You are so adamant not to listen to anything.
That belongs to my friend.
What's the matter?
This is a woman's dress, isn't it?
Shouldn't I have girlfriends?
Do you have many girlfriends?
Yes.
Girlfriends? - Yes.
They come and go.
If you are not busy, I need to talk.
I'm writing a book about unemployment.
Do you want to read it?
Will you understand it?
What's your qualification?
I have studied till tenth grade.
I wanted to join college. I wanted to study.
What a coincidence! I wrote about it this morning.
Poverty is inversely proportional to education.
People can increase their skill levels and earning potential
in a variety of ways such as education..
Do you understand what I'm saying?
Try to join a college.
But what about household work?
My husband wouldn't agree.
Will you help me?
Will you teach me all that you know?
I'm not a teacher to teach.
I, myself go around realising that my shirt is unbuttoned.
I forgot.
My life has become the same.
I have a lot of work to do today.
I need to rest.
My fingers are numb having typed so much on the keyboard.
Can you massage them for me?
How can you massage them if you stand so far?
I have got some work at home. I need to go. - You can go later.
I felt like coming to see you.
But.. - What? You should come immediately if you feel like it.
You are a great man. I'm an ordinary woman.
I'm not a great man.
No man is great before a woman's beauty.
Understand that first.
You are a great man according to me.
Listen, understand this.
You should not expect too much from me.
You will face only disappointment if you do.
I don't believe in love.
Not just love. I don't believe in relationships too. Understand?
I'll call you whenever I need you.
Come if you want.
What if I don't come?
Nothing. I'll call someone else.
Don't you have..
Don't you have any affection towards me?
I have a lot of affection. You are my favourite.
But if you mistake that affection for love, it's not my fault.
I never learnt the meaning of the word, love.
I don't wish to learn it either.
But isn't it a sin if I submit to your desires?
A sin? What's wrong in this?
Being very educated
how can you ask what's wrong in this?
Deepti, only those who haven't been educated
believe in sin and virtue.
There is no such thing as virtue and sin.
Those are lies passed down in order to frighten the society.
We should change when the times change.
What sort of relationship is this
if it has no love or affection?
There is happiness in this, even if there is no love, right?
I need only that. - Can I ask you something?
You should answer me truthfully. - Ask me whatever you want.
I don't have to lie to any girl.
Why did you get a job for my husband?
Was it out of pity or..
Can I ask you something?
You stopped me when I touched you the other day.
Why didn't you leave even after I told you to?
Were you afraid that I will refuse to help you
if you don't do according to my bidding?
Or else, was it because you wanted a job for your husband?
I don't have to get a job for him
in order to make his wife submissive.
I would have helped you even if you had refused.
Leave that.
Why did you come today?
You came knowing that it is a sin, right?
I don't know how to explain it.
You should know. You spoke about sin earlier, right?
Even though it is a sin, it gives you a lot of happiness.
No! I won't commit this sin.
Deepti.
I have written about your family in these papers.
A typical unemployed middle-class family.
It is a case study. An example.
It has your principles and sentiments. I'll read it out.
I won't understand it even if you read it.
I'm leaving.
I won't disturb you anymore.
Who told you that you disturb me?
You are always a happiness to me.
I know that you like it too.
Good evening, Dr. Nathan. Can I come in?
Good evening. Do come in, Lakshmi.
Leave now. I've got work to do.
"My love, when you caress me"
"my heart stops it.'
"The struggle of the moon between"
"the sky and the clouds."
"A drizzle of rain in my heart"
"strikes me like thunder."
"My life is drenched"
"like the flowers drenched by the rain."
"My heart melts"
"because of the fire that burns in me."
"My body blooms all over because of you."
"With the longing in my heart"
"this thirst is not wrong."
"Talking of beauty"
"my heart has gone astray."
"My heart melts"
"because of the fire that burns in me."
"My body blooms all over"
"because of you."
Can you come with me?
I have you to tell you an important thing.
I won't. - Please.
Tell me what it is, right here.
I want you to come because I can't say it here.
Come. - No.
Won't you come? Just once.
I won't.
I want you to come. Don't you?
You told me that I am not necessary, right?
The lowering of the quotation is running us.
They deduct ten percent above it.
Didn't you sleep well? Your face is swollen.
Tell me what you have to say.
Are you telling me to leave?
If you don't have anything else to say.. - Okay.
What?
Tell me.
'The third great danger to the oceans'
'is currently under intense study by scientists.'
'It concerns the first and foremost denizens of the ocean floor.'
Deepti, did you see the paper? Mr. Nathan's picture has come.
He is an economics professor at some university in England.
He has written an excellent book on the middle class of India.
These things are not valued in our country.
You can cook later. Come and see this.
We don't realise the value of our people.
Everyone despises him to be a drunkard.
He is a good man even though he drinks.
He helped us in our troubles. But I can't forget one thing.
He spoke so harshly when I went to thank him.
An ill-mannered fellow. But he seems to be a genius.
Why? Why did you put me in this state?
I'm pregnant with your child.
What should I do now? Tell me.
What's the matter? - Deepti, we don't want a girl child.
We'll abort it, okay? How can we raise two children?
We don't have wealth, do we? We don't, right?
Whom can we approach for an abortion?
Will you talk to my sister once?
My work is getting heavier at the office.
So, you should take care of things.
Or else, invite your aunt to stay with you.
Come in.
You said that you wouldn't come anymore, didn't you?
I have to tell you something.
Tell me.
I came looking for you few times.
I had gone out. Abroad. I had a very busy schedule.
Special classes, seminars.. Come in.
Are you..
Are you well? - Did you come here to ask this?
Come in.
I didn't want to bother you.
You say the same every time you come here.
Tell me what it is.
Are you pregnant?
How many months has it been?
How long has it been since I saw you?
You have begun to love me. Be careful.
I understand.
You mean that I don't have the authority to enquire about you.
Hey.. Nothing like that. I won't talk about authority.
The way you questioned me
sounded like a woman questioning her lover.
Didn't I tell you that I don't believe in such things?
Come closer.
Why? - What do you mean?
Why do you question everything?
You disturbed me while I was busy working
and now are resisting.
Come here.
Come.
I have never seen a pregnant lady up close. Come.
Now I'm like a doctor.
A doctor does tests when you consult him, doesn't he?
I'm feeling shy.
Is the baby asleep?
There is no sound.
What a wondrous process, isn't it?
A small molecule has formed into a baby.
Now you are off dual lives.
One is yours and the other is the baby.
This is a gift only women get.
Let me go.
Why? I'm not doing anything wrong, am I?
I don't know what is wrong or what is right.
That is the problem.
The weakness of women is their ignorance.
When you had gone abroad
I was thinking of you all the time.
Why?
I didn't know the reason. I missed you a lot.
But I was busy. I had a lot of work.
Don't you feel anything seeing me in this state?
What do you expect me to feel?
Millions of babies are born every moment in this world.
It's not a big achievement.
Shall I be honest with you?
I was thinking a lot about you one day.
When I was in England.
I couldn't sleep all night.
I had no one to accompany me.
I couldn't sleep and I was bored.
I was standing on the balcony of the hotel
I saw the beautiful reflection of the moon on a nearby river.
When I saw that, I don't know why, but it reminded me of you.
I remembered your beautiful body.
I wanted to see you immediately.
You miss just my body, don't you?
No, I didn't mean like that.
You are a complete woman.. You have a good character.
But, the first thing I remember about any woman
is her body.
I speak what I feel. Take it or leave it.
I won't force anyone. I won't cheat anyone.
I may need the other things a woman can offer
when I'm old.
But at present, I don't need that.
I can't lie for your satisfaction. I'm frank.
You travel to a lot of countries. I want to visit them too.
I'm ready to come with you. - What did you say?
I feel like leaving everything and coming with you.
It could've been possible on that day.
But now that can't happen.
Because now you're a mother of two children.
Your two children will be your world from now.
Take care of your health. Eat well and rest.
You should be happy.
How can you think of coming with me and travelling instead?
And that too with me.
Okay, why did you come now?
I don't know. - Don't know?
No. I won't bother you anymore.
Do you need money?
Ask me if you need money at the time of delivery.
No, that won't be necessary.
Hey, stop. Where did you go leaving the child alone?
I did not go anywhere. - You left the baby alone
what if something had happened?
Millions of babies are born every moment.
What does it matter if something happens to one baby?
What?
That's it. This the biggest problem that the third world countries
will face in the next five years.
Traffic nuisance.
Sir, give us some alms. - Sir, we are hungry.
Sir, give us something. - It's been two days since we ate.
Sir.. - Look at those children.
The population is growing each second.
We can't hope to become developed if this goes on.
What is the use of all the books written by writers such as me?
It's a shame.
How will it be if people give birth to babies as a profession?
All the wages earned will be lost for the pregnancy expenses.
There is no end for this. When will this change?
Better bring about a rule on the number of times
a woman can be admitted for childbirth.
Wonderful! Why don't you suggest this to your minister friend?
I have chosen this place for the new restaurant.
It would be nice if we get it, wouldn't it?
There are so many people. Will they leave?
Sir.. I'm so hungry. - Hey, go away.
I don't know. But I want to try. - Sir, give me something.
No, go away.
Why doesn't someone teach them that begging is wrong?
Ma'am, it's been two days since I ate.
Give me some money. I'm so hungry. Give me some money.
Give me some money.
Ma'am, we are very poor. You will be blessed.
Give me, please. I'm very hungry.
All this money for me?
Hey, Raja! - Very good. This is not mercy.
You are encouraging him to beg.
Hey, Raja! Where are you? - I don't want this place.
We don't have to worry about food for a week.
Do you know something?
Where are you? - My son died out of hunger.
I was not in a state to breastfeed him.
I was 15 years old at that time.
I did not know the world.
I didn't know what to do.. - Bela, please.
I roamed a whole day. I begged for a handful of rice.
But my child couldn't wait that long.
Whenever I think about him
I remember only his form.
A thin stomach and dull eyes.
"I lost my eyes.."
It was that day that changed me.
My child died making me wait.
"I've become an another mother."
"I lost my eyes"
"and I'm searching for them."
"Is this a sin or a good deed?"
"I've become an another mother."
"Is this the curse of lust?"
"Why is this, God?"
"I'll get a boon"
"to live along with you buried under the earth."
"I crush my heart and cast it away"
"and I live in hell day by day."
"My child is a sin."
"I lost my eyes"
"and I'm searching for them."
"Is this a sin or a good deed?"
"I've become an another mother."
"Oh, Almighty, you have given me a beauty such as you"
"and a million doubts"
"in my mind, my God!"
"Will God himself come to me"
"to clear this confusion and when will it be?"
"I lost my eyes"
"and I'm searching for them."
Deepti?
Deepti..
Where are you going?
To throw her away - What? What did you just say?
I'll throw this thing. It is dead. - What are you blabbering?
I'll do what I wish with my child. What does it matter to you?
Hey, Deepti! Listen to me. - Let go of my child!
Come in and sleep. - Give me my child!
Have you gone crazy? - Nothing like that.
Give me my child. I need to go.
Where? - Anywhere. Why do you care?
Deepti, this is our house.
I don't want this house. I can't stay here.
What's this? Why are you acting crazy? Give me the baby.
I need to go. - Hey, Deepti! - Hit me..
Hit me hard! But I have to go.
Let me go. I can't be here.. - Just listen..
I don't have anyone..
Deepti, what happened to you?
I don't have anyone..
Don't cry..
I have no one.. - Don't cry. It's okay..
I begged her a lot, but she's not talking to me.
What happened to her that she's behaving as such all of a sudden?
Nothing as far I as I know.
Has this happened before? - Since the day we got married
no such thing has never happened.
Then why is she behaving as such? - That is what puzzles me too.
The doctor gave her a sedative. He said she's in shock.
Can you talk to her? She will listen to you.
She has great respect for you.
Deepti.
Get up. Get up, slowly.
Slowly.
Come, let's eat. Come.
I'll feed the child. You talk to her.
What happened to you all of a sudden, Deepti?
Did someone hurt you? Did you fight with your husband?
Deepti, look at me. Just look at me.
Don't you recognise me?
Who are you?
I'm Nathan.
You are not him.
You are somebody else.
Don't you recognise me completely?
You were such a good woman.
Why are you behaving like this suddenly?
Let's not do anything here. Jayan or the children may see us.
Has she become so passionate that she wants to eat you?
You are a successful man. Like Lord Krishna.
But Krishna wouldn't have been bitten by women.
This is an extreme behaviour. She is that infatuated with you.
But she shouldn't bite me for her infatuation.
Poor thing! Your approach has changed her deeply.
You shouldn't have given her that sort of hope.
You are the reason for her extreme behaviour, Nathan.
I'm not the reason for her behaviour.
I was frank with her.
I don't give false hopes to anyone. That's not my nature.
I told her that I don't believe in love. - You told her.
Good joke. - I'm not joking.
It's her fault that she ignored it.
She came to me on her own. I did what she required.
I did not compel her.
So, we consented to the act.
She enjoyed it. Believe me.
If you believe that, it's good.
Who hasn't got pain? You have it, don't you?
Your mother ran away and your father committed suicide.
My uncle raped me and I became pregnant.
I became a mother at the age of 15.
I roamed around begging.. - But you were sane, aren't you?
But Nathan, I did not love and get cheated.
When I returned from my journey, she spoke so boldly.
She went away in anger. - Why did she come?
She never told me that. I even asked her if she needed money.
I noticed that she was pregnant then.
That is your child, Nathan.
No..
She must have come to tell you. But you insulted her.
She must've been heartbroken due to that.
Impossible.
Okay, when you are with that girl.. - Hey, this is no big deal.
I meant when you were with her, did you do it safely? - No.
I.. It wasn't a planned.
She should have thought about it since she came to me.
She did not think about it.
To her, you are like Krishna to her.
Silly fool!
Try talking to her. - How can I?
She's not in a state to talk.
It's good that we don't have relationships.
But when it happens.. - What can I do for that?
It's her fault. A woman can give birth to any number of children.
What does it matter if one is not her husband?
What difference does it make?
Is it a problem for her, me, the society or her family?
You're being selfish. - Am I responsible for her foolishness?
It's not foolishness. It's innocence.
Ignorance. You can understand that only if you are a woman.
She should reap the consequences for that too.
How can I be responsible for that?
You have to. You can't just ignore this.
We both did it with mutual consent.
Her crazy behaviour is not the problem now.
But all the blame is on my head.
I have to bear it all my life. I can't bear it.
Tell me what I should do, Bela. Please!
That's simple. You should take care of her with love.
But you are afraid to do that. So help her then.
How? Should I give her money? Will the problem be solved then?
No, Bela. All your words are just guesswork.
Absolute nonsense. It's not my child. That's it.
Why should she behave like this then?
It was just one time. People have affairs many times.
Do they all get mad?
You have to search the answer for this.
Or else, you'll be in the same state as she is now.
Deepti wanted to tell me something, but I didn't listen.
So, she left. That's the mistake.
Even human bites are venomous. She has bitten you on your chest.
Don't let it get septic. Consult a doctor.

Our house was at the foot of a mountain.
It seemed like our house was on an island.
I desired a lot to see the sea when I was a kid.
But no one took me there.
My father never stayed at home for long.
I was the class leader of my class.
I was the first in everything from studies to plays.
They stopped my studies after my tenth grade.
My father retired.
I did not like home.
Okay, your studies were stopped at tenth grade.
You did not like home. What did you like then?
That is what I thought of. I wanted to get away from home.
I wanted to go to a place where I won't be rebuked.
The world for me. A very good world for me.
Friends and a lot of happiness.
Did it happen?
Everything was just a dream.
I've committed a great sin.
Who taught you about sin and good deeds?
No one taught me.
I learnt it on my own.
Okay, tell me about your sorrow.
I don't have anyone.
Mother!
Brother?
Brother, look at mom.. - Mom?
Where? - Over there.
No, that is not our mother. I have told you earlier, right?
Our mother is in the hospital. Father told me.
She is in a huge house. There are mountains around it.
Mother will come in search of us from those mountains.
That is not my mother. That is your mother.
My mother is in Coimbatore.
Calm down.. Why are you so confused?
I'm shivering as if I've drowned in deep water.
Look, go out somewhere for a change.
Please, sir. Don't.. - Let's be jolly. Just one.
What's the problem? - Let me go!
What's the problem? - Hey, it's a personal issue.
Don't interrupt.. - Take your problems out. Bahadur!
Throw this man out! Rascal!
Hey, ma'am! You don't know me. - He shouldn't come here again.
Kick him out.
Idiot! - How dare you lay hands on me! I'll burn this place!
Come on, pal..
They are misbehaving with their father's money!
I won't let this go! Come on, let's show them!
Rascals! - She'll feel sorry!
I'll show her!
Sin.
This is just a formality. Don't misunderstand us.
You could say 'bye' to us before leaving.
Thank you, Doctor. We'll leave. - Okay, all the best.
What? - I've made you suffer a lot.
No..
You faced a lot of issues for marrying me.
I have troubled you a lot.
But you bore everything.
You are cured, right? That's enough for me.
Yes, I know.
The doctor told me everything.
Will you allow me to stay in your house?
What did you say? My house?
Why do you talk like that? It is our house.
Even now? - Not just now. Forever.
Haven't you married someone else?
Don't blabber.
This is what I told you. You have suffered..
I had faith that you would return, Deepti.
I wouldn't misunderstand you even if you had married someone else.
Just give me a place in the corner of the house.
I'll do all the household work. I'll be a servant.
I learnt handicraft at the hospital.
I can make dolls and do embroidery.
I'll do that and take care of my expenses.
Enough. Stop it.
When will we reach home?
What? - When will we reach home?
It will take at least half an hour more.
Our son and daughter will be waiting to see you.
Whose daughter?
Our daughter. Don't you remember it?
When did I give birth to a girl?
Tell me, please. Did I give birth to a girl?
After her birth, you.. That is why you don't remember.
But don't say that when you see her.
She'll feel bad.
I have forgotten my own child.
She won't be afraid of me, would she?
Why are you talking like this?
Will a daughter be afraid of her mother?
A mother. What did I do as a mother to her?
How will I face her?
Okay, take care of her from now on.
They have grown up.
I can't recognise them myself.
It's like a dream.
Don't cry.
Mother..
Where have you been?
Mother..
Where have you been?
Come.
It's mother.
Come. Dear, come on.
You wanted to see mother, didn't you?
Go to your mother. Mother has come to see you.
I told you that your mother would come to see you, didn't I?
She has come now. Go to your mother.
Come..
It's your mother. Come on, darling.
I won't. - Come. Go to your mother.
Mom.. - Mother is calling you.
You are a good girl, aren't you? Go on..
Mother!
I'll go and buy something to eat.
Chinnu..
Chinnu?
Chinnu, where are you?
Chinnu? Come to your mother.
Chinnu?
Chinnu, where are you?
Chinnu?
Mother. - Chinnu..
Why did you come here without telling me?
Do you know how frightened I was?
Don't worry. She comes here all the time.
We haven't met before. We've been living here for four years.
I'm Aarthi. She used to play here when you were in the hospital.
My daughter is of the same age as Chinnu.
Sorry, I didn't know. - Now you know, right?
Don't worry about anything.
This is my husband, Praveen.
We thought of visiting you. - We were about to come.
We 'll be there. We'll come and introduce ourselves.
Okay, I'll leave. - Let her play for some time.
Poor thing!
She doesn't look like she had any problem before.
Hey, what's this? You have become so pious!
We have to conduct a Lakshmi worship every Friday.
Why do we need so many deity photos?
To pray whenever I can spare time.
I have never seen you worship before.
Where did you learn this from?
These things are not to be learned. A girl should know it.
Ma'am?
Sorry, the household work was heavy so I couldn't come and talk.
That's okay. Come.
He calls me for everything.
If I leave him alone, he creates trouble.
Who? - I mean Praveen.
We loved each other and married. So I can't get angry with him.
Who will look after the child if we fight?
And that too, when he is unemployed.
Who is unemployed? - My husband.
He gets angry sometimes. You must have heard him.
Even today, I gave him a list to buy things.
There is no sugar in the house.
My daughter won't eat if the food isn't sweet enough.
That's why..
No, a cup is enough. - Take it.
I'll return it once he gets a job.
Here.
I felt so bad.
Aarthi's husband is unemployed, it seems.
He is the reason for it.
He was employed in a Government job.
He took bribes, got caught and was fired.
Now they are suffering.
But still when I heard.. - Don't feel sorry for them.
He is not of a good character.
He borrowed money from me recently.
He hasn't paid it back yet.
He hasn't given me a penny till date.
I feel sorry for his wife.
That is why, I gave him the money.
Okay. I'll call before I visit you, okay?
I'll leave now, sir.
Okay, bye. - Thank you, sir.
Don't forget to come tomorrow. - Sure.
Hey! Bring me a soda. Yes, open it!
Come soon!
Mr. Nathan?
Don't you recognise me?
Or are you ill?
What do you mean? I'm well.
Who are you?
I'm Jayan. I lived on the fourth floor..
Don't you remember me?
You got me a job..
Sir, Deepti..
I wanted to inform you somehow. Deepti has come back.
She is completely cured. She has no signs of the problem.
She has changed so much.
The children.. - She is one with them.
The children are happy seeing her.
The younger is a girl, right?
Yes, you do remember that.
She couldn't remember the child on the way back from the hospital.
Now she is never away from her.
I need to see her once.
I went to your flat to invite you for lunch over a weekend.
But you are never there.
I am very busy. I went for a tour.
Come when it's convenient for you.
My address and phone number are on this card.
Don't forget to come, sir.
How would I forget?
I'll come later.
What? - She wanted some chilli powder.
She is robbing you of your things.
I'm not that ignorant.
Deepti, if we keep helping them
he won't even think of getting a job.
He is a strong young man, isn't he?
He is healthy. Let him work.
I was unemployed too. Didn't I run my family?
You had a person to get you a job. - That's true.
But what's the reason? Our heart was pure.
And we had Mr. Nathan's influence.
Why don't you get Praveen a job through Mr. Nathan?
You don't know the state Mr. Nathan is in.
No one can say how the life of a man will change.
He was a great man. But he is so pitiable now.
What happened? - How can I say that?
Everyone says that he's always at the bar.
I saw him this morning. He couldn't recognise me.
How can one forget?
Have you forgotten our old friends?
No. - Your memory is better than ever now.
I told him that you had come back.
He was so happy on hearing it. He knows all our troubles.
How can we forget all the help he has done us?
I don't remember many past things.
But I can't forget anything.

Ma'am, can you come over to my house?
Aarthi is writhing in pain.
What happened, Aarthi? - Nothing, I just felt dizzy.
You should rest a bit.
We needed money for our expenses.
Rest well. I'll send some food. You don't have to cook today.
Thank you so much. - Don't thank me. I'll come later.
She is always weak. She can't stand the weather.
Why are you leaving? Stay here for a while.
I'm bored without a company for playing cards.
Sit down. - My children will be home soon.
Deepti, what happened?
Nothing, dear.
Why aren't you asleep yet?
I have some worry in my heart.
What sort of worry?
Something.
I don't know what it is.
You need not be frightened.
Why did you come this way?
Come through the front door. - Why all the formalities?
Why have you come? - I need a help from you.
My money is spent.
Give me Rs. 2,000 for this jewellery.
I'll take it after I get a job.
I'll get you a new one. I hope you understand me.
You will surely understand it. - I don't have money with me.
How can you say that? - I don't have money with me.
Please.
Don't refuse.
Please, you shouldn't refuse.
You! Rascal!
Shameless guy!
Vegetables..
Tomatoes, carrots, beetroots, gourds..
Vegetables.
Vegetables..
Tomatoes, carrots, beetroots, vegetables..
Tomatoes, carrots, beetroots..
Deepti?
Oh, Goddess! Help me. Give me courage.
Help my family.
Show me the right path.
Oh, God!
Bye.. - Bye.. - See you tomorrow.
Mom?
Nathan, what's this?
You don't visit, talk or even attend my phone calls.
I felt that something was wrong and so I came.
I don't like myself, Bela.
H-Help me.
I'm afraid. Save me.
Okay, don't drink.
Be ready tomorrow, we'll go to a de-addiction centre.
But you should not refuse to come
when I come to take you tomorrow.
Better kill me. Just shoot me.
Don't even think twice.
Shoot me right here. I want to feel the pain.
Please shoot me. - Don't blabber. Nothing will happen to you.
We'll go in the morning, okay?
I'm like this inside.
I was living a normal life.
I shouldn't have changed like this.
Do you understand now, Bela?
Why I shunned a life of love and relations?
Do you accept it now?
Nathan, you have become a human being now.
Nathan, you needed everything. Love, affection..
If you want to be loved, you need to love.
No. - Yes, you shunned love because you were afraid of loss.
You aren't prepared to lose anything.
No, never..
A blunt lie.
No. That's what makes me. This is my true nature.
I can't be emotional, Bela.
I don't like love. I don't love anyone.
I can't digest it.
Economy rules the world, not emotions.
Only loss is incurred by it.
Economy and emotions are conjoined twins, Nathan.
That is the reason for every confusion.
I did not love anyone after the age of ten.
Bela, I don't know what happened to me.
What's wrong with me?
Being like this without love and with no one to love
is what is wrong.
You are not the reason for that, Nathan.
Don't feel guilty.
Hi! Where's mother?
Haven't you changed your clothes after coming from school?
Deepti?
Deepti!
What happened?
Fear. I'm afraid.
I can't be brave.
I think I'm going crazy. - Why do you think so?
I'm afraid, dear.
Why? Did someone tease you?
Sorry, dear. I'm alright.
Nothing will happen.
Deepti, how did these pictures fall down?
They fell down due to the wind.
The wind? - Yes.
It blew heavily at noon. You weren't here.
How could the wind blow inside the house?
I have stopped worshipping from today.
There is no use.
I'll come back soon and then we'll go to the park.
How long will it take? - About ten minutes.
Don't fight and don't roam. - Come back soon.
Are you going down?
Okay.
Deepti.
That was the name of a fool.
She became mad after coming here.
Come.
Do you remember what you said in this same spot?
That you wouldn't come back.
Do you still remember that?
I wanted to see you many times.
But then, I did not have the heart I have now.
I thought you would never come.
I have come in search of you.
If I hadn't..
If I hadn't, I would go crazy again because of you.
Deepti, if you had asked this to my earlier self
I wouldn't have cared if you go crazy.
But now, I can't take it that way.
Maybe I'm old.
Or maybe, I have begun to understand life.
You are well, aren't you?
No, I'm not well.
Why? What happened now?
I can't find peace when I remember you.
There is no calmness in my heart.
What wrong did I do now?
Did you do anything wrong before?
Yes, I have.
Sometimes, I feel that I have wronged you deeply.
I curse myself then.
My husband is a very good man.
I'm burning up on the inside for cheating on him.
But, I'm not able to forget you no matter what.
Even when I pray to God, I think of your embraces.
Why isn't mother back yet? Shall we go and see?
Come, let's search together. - Okay.
Come, let's go by the stairs.
Go back.
I've never been afraid of any woman like this.
What's this wound on your chest?
Don't you remember?
You weren't well then.
You bit me.
I?
I feel that pain even now.
Even now, the wound hasn't healed completely.
I began to drink to forget my pain.
Then I realised, that I was in love with you.
Deepti, you wouldn't understand me now.
No one would understand.
When two bodies unite, happiness is born.
It ends there.
I'm not ashamed to tell the truth now
because I realised that, that happiness was not permanent.
From the moment your hands touched me
I have never let any man touch me since.
Including my husband.
I needed women. A lot of women.
But I have never longed to see any woman.
No other woman has come to me with such affection.
This woman, a fool
has won me over by affection.
How many more steps? My feet are aching.
Okay, sit down. I'll go search for mom.
I don't want anything else.
Just accept me again.
I was like a ship lost at sea.
I have roamed many seas.
But now, this ship won't get lost.
Your sea of love is the only sea for me.
Mother?
Mother.
