Brothers and sisters, the winner of this bullock cart race,
will get 1000 rupees reward from Mr. Sangram Singh.
The winner will be decided by our village head, Charan Das.
Banke.
Banke!
Well done, Banke!
Banke, why are you here?
You don't know the rules and regulations of the race.
Then you explain them to me.
You're the village head after all.
Banke.
Got it?
So what if Samgram Singh's bulls are in the race.
Only the strongest of the bulls will win!
l've reared like like braves and not like cowards!
You claim to be brave. Have you looked at yourself?
Then l'll see it now in your eyes.
Get lost.
Listen, dear. lf Banke loses this race,
you can rein me place of these bulls
with the whip in hand.
And if l win, garland me in front of the entire village.
Father, blow the whistle. - Yes.
Banke!
lt's a disaster!
Sangram Singh's bulls lost, and Banke won.
Banke!
Dear, let's leave. - Father, won't you reward the winner?
You're thinking about the reward. l'm thinking about my life.
Come on. - Father. - Come on!
That greedy man fled with the reward and his daughter.
Get me down.
lf he's the village head, l'm the Banke of the village.
l announce that, l'll get the reward.
Here is your reward, fool!
Till today our bulls never lost in a race.
Today they lost because of you.
Get lost, disloyal!
Or else l won't spare you! Go!
Village head, who made you the village head?
You. sir. My parents only gave birth to me.
And you dared to let that boy win the race in against us.
l was helpless. l adviced him to lose the race,
but he refused.
Listen to me carefully.
l can't lose till l've the wealth!
Victory is the birth right of a rich man.
He should always get it.
lf he doesn't get it, then he can buy and snatch it too!
Well said, sir. but..
Miss Lata is coming. l'll take your leave.
Get lost.
Here, Lata. This is for you.
The first flower of spring. Take it.
No. l can't take the flower given by you.
Pick it up and adorn your tresses!
Pick it up.
Your college is closed now. Where are you going?
To meet my friend Gita.
No need to go anywhere. Go upstairs!
Just do it.
Sangram Singh, what did you do?
You made Lata cry.
My foster sister is so innocent.
Whatever l'm doing, l'm doing it for you.
You've give me this responsibility.
So sometimes l've to act tough and rude too.
But now we'll have to hurry up. - For what?
You're forgetting one thing, but l remember it well.
Lata's father had written something
on a piece of paper before dying.
Because of which you're the owner of this house
and l'm your minister.
But we rule this house only until Lata turns adult.
After that she can do anything.
She can make you a pauper and me a servant.
So? - That's why l ask you to get her married to me.
Or else your widowhood and bachelorhood is of no use.
Speak softy.
Lata might overhear us.
She thinks l am her real mother, not a step mother.
That's why l praise you.
The intelligent ones finish their foes very cunningly.
Why did the cart stop?
Why did the cart move backwards?
So this was your doing?
Yes, dear. l've cast a spell on your bulls.
That day the father fled with the reward
and you with the promise.
Today l've caught you.
But where are you going with the luggage?
l'm going to the city. The college is about to reopen.
Now let me go. lf l don't reach on time, l'll miss the train.
What will happen if you'll miss the train?
Then l won't be able to reach college on time.
lf l don't reach college on time, l won't be able to study.
And if l don't study l'll fail.
What will you learn in the school?
Read my heart, dear.
What will you find in the books, dear?
Read my face, ma'am.
What will you learn in the school?
Read my heart, dear.
Take a holiday.
Sit here.
Just think, l'll inquire your well being.
But the teacher will ask questions.
What is the use of questions?
Get the answers to the questions.
Add it.
Subtract it.
Forget it. lt is just a waste of time.
Calculations are very difficult.
lf you're interested in calculations,
caluclate my immense love.
What will you learn in the school?
Read my heart, dear.
We don't get such weather everyday.
Come to me.
We've met after many days.
These meetings are numbered.
Don't waste these days.
Read it.
What will you learn in the school?
Read my heart, dear.
l've travelled in the bus and train too.
But the fun l had travelling in a bullock cart was unique.
But who was the bullock cart driver
whom your heart still misses.
Look. Lata is coming.
Let's tease her. - How?
Who made that noise?
Not me. - Me, no.
Not even me. - Not even me.
l'm warning you.
Bat!
Stop it. l say stop it, stop it.
Driver, let's go home.
l don't want to study. l want nothing.
What happened, dear? You're back early from college.
l won't go to the college again. - Why?
All the girls tease me.
What did they say?
All of them repeated the same thing
which makes me lose my senses.
What did they say? Bat.
Sangram Singh, my daughter fled from the college
after hearing the word bat.
Do you want her to run away from here too?
Lata has grown up. She's not a child anymore.
The word bat.. - No! Stop it.
She got the attack again. We've to call the doctor.
With this injection she'll sleep for many days.
When she'll wake up, she won't even remember anything.
Doctor. - Yes.
Here is your fee.
Doctor, isn't their any cure for this illness in your science
There is a very simple cure. - What?
Marriage.
Thank you.
Did you hear?
Just take a look at my Hanuman's feat.
He topples the cart and then straightens it again.
Come on, son.
Come on, Hanuman.
Well done. Lift it.
Well done.
The cart has been toppled.
But it is a bit difficult to straighten to.
You just look, uncle Ramu.
Hanuman, come on.
Come on, Hanuman.
Brother Banke!
Letter for you.
She said she'll not write a letter to me.
l'm an illiterate.
This is not a love letter but a governmental letter.
A letter from the district attorney.
Have you gone mad? Why will such a high official
write a letter to me?
Take a look carefully. ls it written Mr. Banke?
He won't write Mr. Banke. - That's what l said.
lt is written Mr. Choke Lal son of Anokhe Lal.
The district attorney has written mister for me. - Yes.
Open the letter and read it.
Fools, come her quickly!
The district attorney calls me mister.
Read ahead.
Fool, why are you mumbling? Read it aloud like me.
Banke, you're very fortunate.
l've always been fortunate. Read ahead.
Banke, the district official has congratulated you.
For what? - The government has rewarded you.
Why?
Your yield from one acre field is more than
anyone else in the entire district.
The collector is coming tomorrow to reward you.
lt means, l'll be rewarded in front of Parvati's father.
You're stupid. How can you be rewarded
in the absence of the village head?
You fool.
Respected chairman, brothers and sisters.
lf we can find even one farmer in every village of lndia,
our country will neither have to import
from other countries nor beg for help.
Our country will regain it glorious past.
The provider of food for the entire world.
Now l request the chairman to garland Banke.
What are you doing, son?
This is because of your blessings, mother.
l'm placing it near your feet.
No, son. Keep it under your father's photograph.
He always used to say, education turns
humans into angels, but farming is better than that
as it provides food for everyone.
That's why he has made you a farmer.
He's the rightful owner of this reward.
Come. Take his blessings.
Father, this is not mine, but your reward.
Today the world has bowed before your faith.
Had you been alive today, l..
Save me!
What happened, mother?
You're crying.
lt's nothing.
l got emotional. lt's difficult to stop the tears
when you're very sad or very happy.
Come on. l'll get you blessed.
Banke, the All lndia Radio people have come for you.
People from the radio. - Yes. Come soon.
Greetings, sir. - Greetings.
They want to record your interview regarding reward
the reward to broadcast it on the radio.
Will you answer our few questions?
Me. - Why are you scared?
lf you stammer in between, l'll explain them the rest.
No, you can't say in between.
Why? He belongs to our village.
Question me, sir. l'll answer it.
But will Paro in the city and
her father, the village head be able to hear it.
Sure. lf they switch on the radio, they'll surely able to hear it.
Question me loudly so that everyone can hear it clearly.
Mike please.
You've grown more harvest then anyone in the district. - Yes.
Have you learnt farming from anyone?
How can he learn? He's an illiterate.
Mister. Don't speak in between. - Sorry sister.
That's strange. Still you must have learnt
something speical from a an agricultural tutor.
Silly! You're strange, sir.
The fish don't have to learn swimming and
the cubs don't have to learn hunting.
Similarly a farmer's son doesn't have to learn.
He's right.
Our Banke is an illiterate, but he's very intelligent.
Mister. - Who? l'm quiet, sister.
l'll ask you one last question.
What do you think is the difference between
the village life and the city life?
Mr. Radio, one who has seen the city
can tell you the difference.
l have never even been to another village.
This land is my mother and she's so vast
that l never felt the need to go anywhere.
What? You've never been to the city?
l've not even seen the picture of the city.
Paro, your beloved is very naive.
He seems stupid.
Don't talk nonsense. First listen.
Banke, you're still not married. - No.
You've grown enough harvest in the fields.
Don't you want to have children?
Sure. Come again in a year or two.
Right now you've only seen the fields,
but later you can see the children too.
l'm only waiting for Paro to return from the city.
She studies in the college there. - Quiet.
Will you become an urban man after marrying a educated girl
or will you make her adapt to the life here?
l can never become an urban man.
l was born in the house of a farmer and l'll always remain a farmer.
And as far as Paro is concerned l think
she'll become my strength and courage
and not any hurdle.
Switch it off. The program is over.
The program will start now.
Yes, your Banke has announced of siring many children.
l was thinking if he gets as much children
as his yield in his fields then
what will happen to our Paro?
l'm the king, you're the queen.
You're the king, l'm the queen.
l'm the king, you're the queen.
You're the king, l'm the queen.
l'm the king of love and you're queen of beauty.
Our love saga will become immortal.
You're the king of love and l'm the queen of beauty.
Our love saga will become immortal.
l'm the king, you're the queen.
You're the king, l'm the queen.
The sky is hovering over the earth since ages.
The travellers are new, but the path is very old.
Our love is the oldest.
l'm the king, you're the queen.
You're the king, l'm the queen.
l'm the king, you're the queen.
You're the king, l'm the queen.
Those who desire to blossom..
Every bud makes me feels as if.
it is a symbol of our love.
You're the king, l'm the queen.
l'm the king, you're the queen.
You're the king, l'm the queen.
l'm the king, you're the queen.
Are we flowers, moon, stars or soemthing else?
Are we currents of a river? Who are we?
No matter what, but we know that we are one.
l'm the king, you're the queen.
You're the king, l'm the queen.
l'm the king of love and you're queen of beauty.
Our love saga will become immortal.
l'm the king, you're the queen.
You're the king, l'm the queen.
Kalavati. Roopvati. Vasmati.
l gave up my belief, world, house and wife for you.
But you turned out to be a betrayer.
You kept deceiving me.
And you went to Banke's field as a good fortunate.
He even got him award of 'Best farmer' from the government.
Who is the fourth one?
lf not him, who else will get the award.
He works very hard, and you..
Don't l work as hard as him?
But there is a difference between the two.
That's why his fields are always luscious green
and your fields are always empty.
Forget the fields. Have a look at our house
and ask yourself, why is my courtyard so empty?
Our neighbour Radha got married last year.
And now she's the mother of a child.
And me? The fields and the courtyards are barren.
You've found out one of my weaknesses.
Don't taunt me like this.
l try my best.
l plough my field. l water it. l sow good quality seeds.
But.. - But what?
But if the seeds don't germinate, what can l do?
l don't know all that. l want to become a mother
of many children. - Oh God.
l'm going. - Where?
Outside. - Whenever l talk about that, you leave.
l'm going out for your work.
Yesterday l met a 100 old gypsy woman.
She said she'll give me a powder
that will fill my fields with crops
and house with a horde of children.
Really? - Yes.
lt is all over. - What happened?
You sneezed again. This happens everytime.
You ruin the work and l get defamed.
Now l won't sneeze. Go and get the powder quickly.
Go. - Don't sneeze.
Don't sneeze. Block your nose.
Lata, you tore your marriage card.
l didn't tear the marriage card, but my death order.
Mothers always desire to get their daughter married.
But they do so to fill the like of their daughters with
happiness and not sorrws.
Dear, you don't know what l had to go through
before making this decision.
l went to every threshold.
l begged at every door.
But every boy l approached, weighed your dad's wealth
against your childhood problem.
And then they leave rejecting this marriage proposal.
But mother, what fault do l have?
No, dear. l can't even say it.
lt pains me to say that.
You're under my oath. Today you've to tell me.
lt's your madness.
Just one word makes your furious.
The doctors say after marriage you'll be cured.
Send me to a sanatorium, but don't get me married.
Sangram Singh is a lot older to me.
Can we be a couple?
Take a look at that picture.
That's your father's picture which has taken
many years back. And then take a look at me.
Could we ever have united? But we did.
What you just said, if l had said that to my father
then l wouldn't have been alive today.
Then kill me.
l don't agree to this marriage.
ln my family and the family you are born in,
we are bounded by helplessness of duty.
Got it.
Banke, have your food.
lt's noon.
Come on, uncle Ramu. Mother has brought food.
Just a minute. Let me cut some more.
You'll keep cutting and ploughing all your life.
But making mother wait is like making god wait.
Come on. - Okay.
Uncle, stop the cart. l'll just come.
What have you brought, mother?
Your favorite. Gram gram vegetables and millet bread.
With mango pickle and a pot full buttermilk.
Banke, even l've come to share your food.
Silly, when did you arrive?
l'm just coming from the station.
That's more like it.
Mother, see the miracle of your millet.
She came here even without invitation.
Serve her some too.
She's coming from the city. She eats bread and butter.
She can't digest millet bread?
She'll digest everything once she starts
working in the fields with me.
She'll grow stronger with hard work.
Then she'll digest everything.
As if l can't right now.
l've stayed for a short while in the city
All my life l've consumed the same stuffs as you.
Then eat it.
Use your teeth instead of your tongue.
lf l eat, you'll remain hungry.
So mother, l'll eat tomorrow.
Bye. Father must be waiting.
Have you finished your studies?
Yes. l've given the exams
l'm just waiting for the results.
Silly, tell your father that Banke has waited enough.
Now he can't wait anymore!
Gita!
Hello, Lata. What is it? You look scared.
Yes, Prasad. l'm deep trouble.
Next Sunday, my mother has fixed my marriage
with Sangram Singh.
The cards have bee printed too.
That old fox seems to be very intelligent.
What did you call him? - Old fox.
Old fox. lt is a very fitting name.
Earlier he only wanted to sieze your wealth.
Now he has controlled your mother
and wants to control you too.
That's why l came for Gita's advice.
Gita left for the city yesterday.
City. - Our uncle lives there. He's a very famous lawyer
She went to visit him.
Now what should l do?
So what if Gita is not there,
her brother is there to help you.
l'll take you to the city.
There l'll tell my uncle to send Sangram Singh a legal notice.
After that you'll saved from this forceful marriage
and you'll get your property back.
Wow! Let's go to the city right now.
Empty handed. We need money to go to the city and
start legal proceedings.
Mother and Sangram Singh keep all money.
They won't give me any.
Then one thing can be done. - What?
You dress up as a bride next Sunday. - Yes.
Wear all the jewellery and flee on getting a chance.
And reach the station.
l'll wait for you there.
Before Sangram Singh finds you, we'll be in the city.
lf wouldn't have been for you,
l would've been ruined.
lt is my duty to help my sister's friend.
Then don't forget to come to the station on Sunday
Sure. Bye, Prasad. - Bye.
Go away.
Silly, is your father home?
lf he is, tell him l've come. - Ok.
Let me see, who has come.
See me later, uncle. First arrange for some snacks.
Yes, if you can't get sweets, jaggery will fine.
We'll think about sweets later.
First go and wipe your face.
Uncle, today l've cleaned my face thoroughly.
Still you're not capable of marrying my daughter.
Go.
Uncle, are you really asking me to leave?
Yes. And never come here again.
What are you saying, brother? You forgot your old promise.
Sister Laxmi, you're talking of bygone era.
Things have changed now. Even people have changed.
Just think. Banke and Parvati love each other
since they were kids.
But sister, for me marriage is not a child's play.
l did not make her graduate
to marry her to an illiterate and ignorant man like him.
l beg of you. Don't break my son's heart.
Sure. But you want me to make my daughter unfortunate.
Go and beg at someone else's doorstep.
They might have pity of you, but l won't.
l beg of you. - Mother!
Don't you dare do that!
l can give up my life but l can't bear to see you humiliated.
Let's leave! - Banke, you're going.
Yes. lf you've the courage, hold my hand and come with me.
Show you father that there deals are not made in love!
Love doesn't value degree certificate but only true heart.
lf you've that heart, come with me right now!
Banke, my daughter won't leave.
Parvati, go inside.
Father. - Go inside or else there will be bloodshed!
No. - Go inside.
No, father.
Okay, uncle. l'm going from your house.
But l'll return, not to get married to your daughter,
but to show you my wife who will be
more educated and beautiful than your daughter!
Come, mother.
What does that village head think of himself?
ls only her daughter educated? No one else!
Forget the village head. Go to the city.
l've heard that many graduate girls roam there
like the goats and sheep in the village.
You just need money.
l've a lot of money.
But will an urban girl marry a illiterate like me?
Sure. Now even the literates have understood
only with education one can't earn a living.
That's why even educated people are coming to villages.
You're right. But l've never been to city.
l don't know where to stay and whom to meet there.
You're very innocent.
You don't know anyone in the city, but the city folks
know you well.
Your name was announced on the radio.
You mean all the educated girls know me.
Of course. You're famous like the cinema actor.
Now l understood.
First l'll tell my name, then l'll talk.
Brother Banke, while returning from the city
please bring a new razor for me.
After shaving such beards this is of no use now.
Dear, shave me with this useless razor today.
Or else beard will turn grey
waiting for your blade and Banke's bride.
Silly, l'll bring a bride. Definitely.
And she will be more educated and beautiful
than the village head's daughter.
And if l fail, l won't show you my face!
Girls, hurry up.
This is Sangram Singh's first and last marriage!
We've to just apply the vermillion.
Do it quickly,
The priest has to perform another marriage too.
The auspicious time is fleeting.
Yes. Hurry up. Auspicious time is fleeting.
Just a minute. l'll just..
What a nice couple! lnsane girl and middle aged man.
You're looking very in sir's marriage.
Where is the girl?
Where is the bride?
She has gone inside. She's just coming.
Call her quickly. There is not much time left.
Go quickly.
Lata. - Lata.
Hurry up.
Lata, open the door. - Open the door.
Move aside. Sir has come.
Lata, come out.
The auspicious time is passing away. - Lata.
Who knows when our train will come?
Look. The train is coming. - Yes.
Move.
Come quickly with the water.
Seems like there is a lot rush.
That coach seems to be empty.
Come.
Brothers, bye. - Bye.
Banke, take care of your umbrella and suitcase.
Strange! You're teaching me.
These trains are great.
ln minutes it has caught speed.
Mister, how did you enter this coach?
Fool, won't this coach go to the city?
lt will, but do you've a ticket of this coach?
Do you think l'm a goon or a pauper to travel without ticket?
Look. Here is the ticket.
This is a second class ticket.
So what? - This is the first class coach.
Second class passengers can't travel in this.
What did you say? Second class passengers
can't travel in the first class coach? - No.
Urban boy, l'm a villager but not a fool.
Maybe you didn't hear my name on the radio.
Everyone knows the name of Banke in the city.
Really? So you are Mr. Banke.
So you've heard me on the radio.
Yes. You talked so well on the radio.
What is your name? - Lata.
lt's a very nice name. And this fool? - Prasad.
What's his full name?
Ram Prasad, Badri Prasad, Shiv Prasad or Evil Prasad.
Villager, keep your mouth shut. - Brother.
Why are you growling like a hunting dog with out reason?
Forget him. Have these groundnuts
l've grown them in my field myself.
Groundnuts. Here. - Lata.
Seems to be hungry. Give some to him too.
At least he'll stop yelling.
You're acting like a villager, you're eating groundnuts.
Urban boy, if by eating some groundnuts one
turns into a villager, then what will you call Mr. Gandhi
who survived only on groundnuts.
When the ticket checker comes at the next station
he'll answer that, radio jockey.
Right now keep the luggage there.
Keep it there!
God knows who jinxed me early in the morning
that l've to argue with this grumpy man.
This is from your fields? - Yes. Eat it.
Did you see what kinds of passengers enter this coach?
lt hard to differntiate between the good and the bad.
You give this jewellery to me.
l'll safely keep it in the briefcase.
He seems to be a very good man.
You're very innocent. l thnk this man is a thief.
You'll be a thief. l'm a farmer not a thief!
Those who grow harvest like gold spurn other's gold.
What happened?
The train stopped as if someone has caste a spell on it.
Who has pulled the chain?
l did not pull anything.
lf not you then who else? You, she or him?
Who hung this bag from the chain?
l did it. l thought it is for hanging luggage.
Why don't you hang yourself from it?
What did you say?
You're still arguing?
You hung such a heavy bag from the chain.
The chain got pulled and the train stopped.
Move it from here, l say. Hurry up.
Sir. - Yes.
How did such a huge train of yours, that travels
with thousands of travellers and tons of weight,
stop with such a light weight?
Don't dare try to fool me!
Maybe you didn't hear my name on the radio.
No. - Then ask her!
ls he with you?
No. On the contrary on a second class ticket
he has entered the first class coach.
On top of that he is bullying. - Come on, get down.
Why? - Strange!
First you make mistakes and then act tough.
Your crimes are, pulling the chain
then entering the first class coach with a second class ticket.
You've to pay a fine. Get down quickly.
Guard, he did not commit these mistakes knowingly.
He's an innocent man. Please forgive him
and take him to the second class compartment.
lf you say so, then okay.
lt is our ill-fate that even nowadays such people are there.
Mr. Banke, please get down.
Again the same.
After you. - Ok.
Even before reaching the city l'm in troubel.
Here.
What else is in store for me?
Lata, bye. - Bye.
He has very few luggages, isn't it?
Sir, come in my car. - Leave me.
Sir, come with me. - Leave me!
l say leave me.
Leave my luggage.
Why are you all crowding me!
They just harass people..
Sir, you? How are you? ls everything fine?
lt's all god's grace.
Do you know me?
Who doesn't know you? Your name..
Mr. Banke Chokelal.
That's what l was about to say.
Can anyone ever forget such a nice name?
You must have heard my name on the radio.
Radio? Your name was announced on the radio.
You also sang well.
Song? - Yes.
l did not sing a song, l just talked.
lt must be talking for you, but for us it was like a song.
Every girl of the city was swaying. - Really?
Yes. - But who are you?
l'm the one.. Didn't you recognise?
Saudagarmal. A trader.
You can buy anything with my help.
Do you want to buy the station?
Station? - Yes.
No. - Why?
Then l'll have to buy the train too.
l won't take this trouble.
Forget it. Then come with me in my car.
This car belongs to you.
Not just the car, everything else belongs to me too.
Come on with me.
Get down, dear. Keep your feet down and start walking.
Good morning, Mr. Gendalmal.
Good morning Mr. Saudagarmal.
Sir has come.
Give him a double room, air-conditioned.
Ok. Your name. - Mr. Banke Chokelal.
Didn't you hear my name on the radio?
He did. lt was announced on every radio.
lts okay if you forget Choke,
but do write Bankelal. - Yes.
What is the purpose of your visit?
Why should l tell you about my personal matters? Just hear him!
Don't get angry. lt's the rule.
We have some other work but write business.
Give the key.
Boy. - Boy.
325. - Handle the luggage carefully. They're expensive.
Go.
Do l've to pay him too?
Don't worry, sir. l'll take care of small matters.
You take the stairs. l'll leave now.
Saudagarmal. - What? Advance.
He's very rich. l want to loot everything.
Ok. - Don't ruin it.
Who grew this plant in this room and how?
Anything is possible here.
This is the city, dear. You can even milk the stone.
Can you? - Yes, but not now.
Come here.
Boy, send some tea.
Come
Keep the umbrella and sit comfortably on the bed.
Why are you looking for down?
l want to see who pushed me from below.
No one pushed you.
The hoteliers have put springs in the mattress
for the comfort of the travellers.
Sit again and see how comfortable it is.
This is a very nice thing.
You're just sitting now.
When you'll lie down you'll really enjoy it.
Now can we talk business? - Yes.
Can you arrange a girl for me?
One. l can arrange for a hundred girls.
l can even give my life for you.
Keep your life with you, just get me a girl.
But remember one thing.
The girl should be educated and good looking.
Don't worry about that.
The girl will be M.A, B.A, F.A and 10th passed.
And they'll be good looking too.
But for that, you'll need some extra money.
Don't worry about money.
l grow money in my fields.
Then give me a petty sum of 200 rupees.
You call 200 rupees petty.
Even 2000 rupees are less in the city.
You've a safe in the underwear.
Stop your nonsense and get lost.
But remember, the girl should be more
beautiful and educated than the village head's daughter.
Leave that to me.
You just freshen up and get ready as a groom.
l'll make the arrangements of the garland.
Village head, you said you'll not marry you daughter to me.
Now l will give you a befitting reply.
Tea, sir.
Boy. - Yes.
What is the cost of the tea? - Only 2 rupees sir.
2 rupees? Why are you trying to loot me?
ln the village you get pot full of tea for 10 pennies.
And the cost of this tea is 2 rupees.
Even if you grumble, l won't pay more than 15 pennies.
l don't care. lf you don't pay we'll write it in your account.
l too don't care. Write it in the account.
What is he doing?
Savitri, l've heard that your old mother
goes to swim in the pool in bikini.
lt is not that door, it is one ahead.
l know she's fairer than the foreigners
but if she does want to get a suntan, take her to a desert.
Swimming in the swimming pool in bikini..
That's the door. Wait.
Boss.
What is happening?
Have you wrapped the blanket or vice versa?
That fool, who had brought the tea.. - Yes.
He swtiched a button there and the room turned cold.
l'm freezing.
Boss, take the blanket off. Winter has passed
And it is summer again.
Saudagarmal, this is really amazing.
With switching a button you get cold air
as well as hot air.
Here, everything happens very quickly.
You should know the way to do.
l've brought a beautiful bird for you. - Bird?
Not that bird. ln the city girls are called birds
as they fly and make others fly too.
ls she educated? - She's an M.A.
Just get in. Go.
Rani, come in.
Come in.
Go inside.
He doesn't know A, B, C, but wants a graduate.
Boss, bringing her till here was my job.
Now until you don't call me, l won't come in. - Ok.
Come on. Give me a petty sum of 200 rupees.
l just gave it to you.
You hog money the way bulls eat fodder in the village.
Get lost!
Why are you insulting yourself in front of the girl
Give it quickly. - Okay.
Go now.
What is your name?
l've a different name in every room.
Sometimes Salma, Suzy, Sarla. Right now l'm Savitri.
Forget the name, how educated are you?
A lot. l know every language of lndia.
Really, silly? Where have you studied.
Kolkata, Chennai, Lucknow, Delhi.
ln Delhi, you've studied in Delhi too.
Then the masters that taught you must be really good.
Whomever l met taught me and educated something.
Yes, that's it.
Do you've parents? - No, they died.
Then you must have siblings.
Stop talking nonsense and talk business.
What are you doing?
Stop it.
Leave it. You'll tear it.
Saudagar.
Boss, you finished so soon.
Quiet, fool. l had asked you bring a educated and
virtuous girl. But you got this slut.
Do you think l'm a fool? No. - Come on. Get her out.
Ok.
Boss, Savitri also has a younger sister.
Bad man!
What did you do with him?
He's shivering with fear.
Even l'm shivering, but with rage.
What strange customers you bring along.
l feel like slapping you or myself.
That's why l don't like coming with you.
Forget about that, tell me your old mother in..
l should do that to your mother.
Being old, she still swims in the swimming pool in bikini.
God! What a trouble?
What happened, boss?
Wretched girl. With the grace of god
l escaped her clutches.
lf l had been tarnished before marriage
l wouldn't have been ruined.
l've made a mistake. l thought that you're young
so you need a young girl.
l didn't know you're such a virtuous man.
That's not it. l had announced
in front of the entire village, that l'll bring
a girl who will be more beautiful and educated
than the village head's daughter.
lf l can't fulfill my promise, l can't go back to my village.
l can't face anyone.
Boss, don't worry.
Now l'll bring the type of girl that you want.
We searched for Miss Lata a lot,
but we couldn't find her yet.
lnspector, Lata was wearing a lot of jewels.
l'm only afraid of one thing. Lata is immature.
Someone might abduct her or kill her for the jewellery.
Have faith. We are doing our best to find for her.
Thank you.
Stop!
Red signal, we got our signal. Reverse it.
More. Stop.
A beautiful dame and standing here.
Hema. No Manorma. No Reena. No Laxmi.
Laxmi
Why are you looking here and there? l'm calling you.
Didn't you recognise me, Laxmi?
l'm not Laxmi, but Lata.
Lata. Yes, it's Lata.
Slip of tongue.
lt has been ages since l saw you.
But what are you doing here alone?
Nothing. - Nothing. Don't assume l am naive.
When a beautiful young girl stands near water
in the scorching sun, then think that she's in need.
Surely there is some trouble.
Did you husband leave you? - What nonsense!
l'm not even married.
Again l made a mistake.
Then surely someone has deceived you.
Yes, you're right. - l'm right.
A boy from my city, Prasad, deceived me.
He was bringing me to the city,
but on the way he ran away with all my jewellery.
Just listen. Even though l'm there
such dacoits are loose in the world.
Prasad wants to compete with me. l'll ruin him.
l'll destroy him.
Until l don't bring him to you, l won't rest.
He deceived an innocent girl.
And where did this girl go?
Did she jump in the water?
Girl. - l'm here.
Madam, do you know anyone in the city.
No!
Don't cry. lf you'll cry, the public will gather
and my plan will be ruined.
Don't worry. l've a very generous friend.
He will sure help you, come with me.
Hey, what are you doing?!
l was just blessing you.
You are like my sister. You won't find a brother like me again.
Taxi! Come here. Come here. You too come.
Boss. - Saudagar, you returned so soon.
Boss, l've brought a new girl.
A girl that has been touched by no one.
ls she educated? - Of course.
Tell me right now, if is she like that Savitri of yours!
She's convent educated.
She had passed B.A and M.A.
A degree in M.A too. - Yes.
But boss, don't be too rude to her. Be polite.
lf she's from a good family, l'll be very polite to her.
Call her in.
What are you doing? - l'm stuck, just push me.
Here l go!
Come in, sister. Think of it as your own house.
Go in.
Lata, you? - You? Silly.
l'm done for. Do you know each other?
Very well. lf that day she hadn't helped me in the train,
the guard would've fined me.
l remembered. Give me a petty cash of 200 rupees.
Why? l know her very well.
l'm done for. Get out of here Saudagar.
And listen, order some tea for Lata.
He said it in a high tone. So soon he got used to the city.
l've lost it.
Come. Lata, sit.
Have you come here to get married?
Yes, didn't you hear my announcement on the radio
that l'll marry the village head's daughter Parvati?
Yes.
But that scum village head refused.
l got furious and proclaimed that forget village head's
daughter, l'll marry a girl more educated and beautiful than her.
That's why l had to come here.
But why have you come here?
You've come here to get married
and l've run away from my marriage.
They were getting me married to a cruel person.
But then who was with you in the train.
He was a devil whom l thought to be a good man.
But on the way, he duped me and fled with all my jewellery.
Really? - Yes.
But he was boasting a lot.
lf l find him anywhere, l'll thrash him.
But forget that scoundrel, have tea.
You must not have had tea for long.
Even you've some. - Yes, fifty-fifty.
What does that mean? - Half-half.
Have it.
Darling how was the movie? - Fine.
Oh my darling! My sweetie pie. You know.
Please.
Mr. Banke. Look. Prasad.
Prasad. - Yes.
Scoundrel, at last l found you.
Who are you? - l'm your father, silly.
And l've come to tell you
to ove your hands from your mother's shoulder.
And return the goods that you've stolen.
Which goods? What are you saying?
ls that so? l'll just show you!
The jewleries she was wearing till yesterday,
but now you've them!
What nonsense!
Neither have l ever seen you or her.
Prasad, you've never seen me.
Forget him. lts seems his eyesight has become weak
and he has lost his memory.
But l know how to make your regain your memory.
Seems like you've come here to die.
Take this.
Mr. Banke, what happened?
You thought l died. No one has lived after hitting me.
You have shown your strength of the city.
Now see the strength of the village.
Try to handle it if you can.
Hail lord!
Spare me!
Will you return Lata's jewellery or die?
Take the jewellery but spare me.
The jewellery is in the bag.
Oh God! - lt's good you returned it.
Scoundrel, if you ever deceive anyone again,
l'll tear your to pieces and then scatter you around.
Apologize to your mother and then to your father.
Forgive me, mother. You too forgive me, father.
Shut up! Come on, Lata.
Scoundrel, check if all the jewellery are there
or else l'll thrash him up again.
Why are you staring at me?
Why are you giggling?
Are you mocking me?
No.
l was talking about the jewellery and you're giggling.
Because now l like you more then the jewellery.
Why are you giggling now?
Now you're mocking me?
No.
When l said that l like you, why did you laugh?
Because even l like you.
Yes. - Yes.
Then shall we get married? - Yes.
But Sangram Singh should not know about our marriage.
But our village head should surely know about it.
He'll burn with rage and perish like evil.
l'll make the arrangements for the marriage.
Wonderful idea!
What does that mean?
l mean, that you talked wisely.
Fool, you've still not seen my wisdom.
You rest. l'll return quickly.
Come quickly. - Yes.
Look, dress, turmeric, coconut, vermillion
and the nuptial chain.
Wow! You're wiser the women.
You brought everything.
Obviously. As soon as we reach the village
we'll take mother's blessings and get married
and make you mine forever.
Why is this ringing now?
Yes. What? The police have come.
Why should l throw her out if the police have come?
The police are searching the rooms.
lf they find unmarried girls in the room,
they'll arrest them.
Tell the girl in your room to leave quickly.
Why? l'll not.
Fool!
What was the manager saying?
He told me to throw you out. - Why?
Because the police are arresting unmarried girls.
Now what will happen? - Why are you afraid? What if we're not married?
We're about to get married.
Who is this knocking the door now?
l'll see right now.
What is it, fool?
Hurry up. Send the girl away.
The police are coming.
Then let them.
She's not a characterless girl. l'm about to marry her.
There is a lot of difference between a wife..
..and a to-be wife.
Why do you want her to get jailed?
There is still time. Let her go.
Come on.
Oh God!
The police have really arrived. They arrested a girl too.
You've started crying.
l'm already tensed. Your tears are making me worry more.
What to do?
Yes. Wear this dress. Go quickly.
Silly, you look like a real bride.
What is it?
What relation do you've with this girl?
We've a very simple relation!
She's my wife and l'm he husband.
What evidence do you have? - Here is the evidence.
Excuse us. We disturbed you uncecessarily.
Sorry. Let's go.
Needlessly they trouble people.
Why are you upset?
lf we had been in the village
we would've been very happy.
Mother would have been very happy.
She would have prepared garlands.
l would have adorned myself as a groom.
There would have celebrations in the courtyard.
My desires couldn't be fulfilled.
So what?
Our marriage was very simple.
No music and priest.
What is the need of all this when we've god's blessings?
Our marriage was very simple.
No music and priest.
What is the need of all this when we've god's blessings?
Our marriage was very simple.
No music and priest.
What is the need of all this when we've god's blessings?
The eyes of my beloved are like the palanquin.
This heart belongs to my beautiful bride.
Without the wedding procession
this marriag took place.
What is the need of all this when we've god's blessings?
Our marriage was very simple.
No music and priest.
What is the need of all this when we've god's blessings?
l'm an illiterate and you're a literate.
How did we fall for each other?
l'm an illiterate and you're a literate.
How did we fall for each other?
You're from the city and l'm from the village.
How did we become life partners?
Our love bonded our hearts.
lt made us a couple.
What is the need of all this when we've god's blessings?
Our marriage was very simple.
No music and priest.
What is the need of all this when we've god's blessings?
Today is the nuptial night.
l want to say many things to you.
Today is the nuptial night.
l want to say many things to you.
We can talk tomorrow. This night won't come again.
Don't look at me like that. Leave my veil.
l beg of you.
What is the need of all this when we've god's blessings?
Our marriage was very simple.
No music and priest.
What is the need of all this when we've god's blessings?
Great sage Vyas says that, if the five Pandavas
had not taken birth in king Pandu's house
there wouldn't have been Bharat and holy war.
Kunti. - Kunti?
Yes. Kunti was a woman of a very good character.
Kunti became a mother and king Ponda didn't do anything.
Have some shame, dear.
Take king Pandu's name with respect.
l'm taking his name with respect.
Nowadays you don't find such husbands
who send their wives to others persons
to ask for the boon of a child.
What do you mean? - Even l..
Yes. Shut up!
You think that l'm king Pandu.
Of course not, l'm a normal human being.
lt is my mistake that l am reciting a holy book
in front of you.
l don't see anything wrong in this.
You don't find it wrong.
Kunti was a woman of a very high character.
She used to highly respect her husband.
So am l not a good character woman!
Don't l respect you!
Yes, you do.
Sit.
The rules for gods and humans are different.
Here you've to pay tax and go to the police station.
Even though they had wives, they could've
relation with other women.
lf we'll walk on that path, we'll have to go to jail
because we're humans.
l was just narrating a story of that era.
So what? What is the difference in this era?
Just look at our neighbour, Dhanlaxmi.
Her elder son resembles the contracter of our village
and the younger son resembles the money lender.
Not tell me.
Stupid, all the children born from the same mother
don't have to look like the mother.
Some can look like a monkey, some can look like a lizards.
You want a child?
But don't be in a hurry. l'll try my best.
Then come on. - Where?
You just said that you'll try your best.
l didn't say that l'll do it now.
Right now l've to go to the neighbouring village
to return this scripture.
And l'll tell that priest not to give this scripture
to those who don't have any children.
Whenever l say this, he goes out.
Miss. Phulrani!
ls this Phulrani's house?
Yes and l am Phulrani.
Wow! You are as beautiful as your name.
And have good personality too.
Who are you?
l am Salim from district Saranpur.
l'm a tailor by profession.
l've come far from my family in search of work.
lf you let me keep set up my shop in your veranda,
l can start my business.
Couldn't you find any other veranda except mine?
Madam, l did.
Madam Jamna in the next lane was ready.
But l didn't like her place.
Ganga Rani in the 4th lane was ready too.
But her place is a bit small.
Your place is very nice.
lf you'll give me permission, l start tailoring shop here.
With god's grace your house will be filled with kids.
Really?
May your words come true!
l'll surely become a mother with your blessings.
You keep your machine here and start your work.
Madam, thank you very much.
Driver, install my machine here.
Phulrani, l've a cloth and l want to stitch your dress first.
l'll stitch a very nice blouse and skirt for you.
Hold this. l've to take your measurement.
Saudagarmal, surely come to my village on festival day.
You don't know how pompously this festival
is celebrated there.
And then you can see my honour and prestide there.
You can also get some reward from your sister.
Sure. Now we're related.
Now l'm your brother-in-law.
Saudagarmal, l'm very grateful to you.
l came here alone, but l'm going back with someone.
lt is all because of you brother.
This is the only good deed l've done in life.
And l did not do it, it just happened by mistake.
The whistle has been sounded.
Get in the train.
Saudagarmal, do come to my village on festival day.
l'll come but l've a condition.
You came here alone but are returning with a wife.
When l'll come to your village
there should be a baby to call me uncle.
Saudagarmal, the train has still not started moving
Then why am l moving?
l've gone mad with happiness.
Engine driver, start the train.
lts moving.
What happened? Come.
Lata, is this your house?
lt is very big. lt grand like a king's palace.
But what's the point of returning to your house
from where you had run away.
l had not run away from my house, but from an atrocity.
And now l've returned for my mother's blessings.
You can get married anywhere, but
sending off can take place only from maternal house.
lf you had even a bit of shame,
you wouldn't have never returned.
You've come to defame us by getting married.
How can l defame you, mother?
l didn't commit a sin. l got married.
Marriage, where did you get married?
ln a hotel room.
ln a hotel room you can commit sins, not get marriage.
You had come to listen to this, Lata.
l realised today that mothers who live in palaces
can only curse you, but not bless you.
Come on, Lata. - Wait, young man.
l won't stop you, but l want to say something
to you before you leave.
The women had their share of conversation.
Now what about us men sharing few words?
Can you come up with me for a minute?
No, Banke. Don't go with him.
You don't know him.
Don't worry, Lata. l've taken down many stubborn
bulls by their horns.
And then he doesn't even have horns.
What is this?
This is the thing with which the world is bought
and sold everyday.
What do you want to buy from me?
A fake marriage that took place in the hotel room.
l want you to take this money and forget Lata.
You fool, offer this money to someone else.
Maybe you don't know me.
l'm a farmer, the son of a farmer.
We know how to toil our fields.
We don't know how to strike deals.
lt must be the tradition of your family to sell your wives.
One more thing take place in our family
which maybe you don't know.
The person that obstructs our path is not left alive.
l'm a respected man that's why l'm offering you life.
lf you disagree, death is not far from you.
lf you want, you can still take this money.
Yes, l can still take this money.
But not to sell my wife, but to throw it on your face.
Hello, police station.
Leave him.
lnspector, this man had come to loot our house.
You fool, why are you lying?
Why don't you say what the truth is?
Explain all that in the police station.
But inspector, listen to me. - Come on.
lnspector, leave him.
Come on, Lata.
Banke! - Come.
Quite. - Don't worry Lata, l'll return!
There is still justice in the country.
And you listen too, fool, l'll not let you rest in peace.
l'll settle our score.
My, dear!
Hey.
Come, brother.
Wow! What a body!
Bones below and skin on the top
and the muscles are missing.
How did you come here?
l'll tell you that later. First tell me
did your parents give birth to a kid or a kite?
l'll take the measurement. Don't get angry.
Stand straight.
What are you doing? You're moving like a kite.
Take out the clothes. - No.
Not these clothes, the clothes that you want to stitch.
You've not brought it. Go and get it.
ln 4 days l'll make such a wonderful shirt for you
that you'll look like a brawny man.
Go! - Who are you to tell me to go!
lt seems l've returned late.
You've delayed while coming,
but don't delay in going, fool.
Whom did you call a fool?
Thank you stars that l called you a fool and not stupid.
Stupid fool, do you know who you're talking too?
You tell me.
l'm the only son of Kolhapur's famous wrestler
Rustom-e-Jama-Babbar Rao.
And the only live in son-in-law of this house.
Carefully.
God you're great. Babbar Rao's son a weakling.
And the live in son-in-law is a wanderer.
Stupid, pick up this machine and get lost
or else l'll not spare you!
lf you're from Kolhapur l'm from the Saranpur district.
Got it?
Salim, what did you do?
He's my husband.
My mistake.
But he doesn't look like the owner of the house.
Then what do l look like. Servant
Didn't you see this ring?
Forgive me.
l'll forgive you later.
First you tell me, why did you let this tailor
open his shop in my house?
He said something and l agreed.
Which one.
He said that he's so lucky, that wherever he goes
that place gets filled with children. - Filled?
No. - Yes, that's true.
You'll say that. Come on.
l'm going. - Go in!
Why are you pushing? - Come on!
l'm going. - Come on!
God!
l'm not a dacoit but one who is sitting there comfortably!
The court will decide who the dacoit is.
You just answer lawyer's questions.
Your statement is that you went in that house
not to loot but to let your wife meet her mother.
l ask you, when you did not marry her,
how can she be your wife?
l ask you, who are you to ask me that?
Mr. Banke Lal, don't get angry.
Tell us if that's true.
That is not the point, judge.
He's talking as if he knows more than me about my marriage.
That's why l was angry.
Lawyers ask such questions.
Seems like they don't have any other work.
That's why they ask such questions.
Sir, why beat around the bush?
Ask my wife whether we got married or not.
With your permission, your honour. - Yes.
Mr. Banke Lal, don't get angry.
We'll ask her later.
First tell the court, did you marry Lata or not?
l swear, sir, l've married her with god as my witness.
Miss Lata, did he marry you?
No. - Lata!
But l married him.
Your honour, sometimes she says yes and sometimes no.
l think she's mentalally unstable.
Objection, your honour. lf the public prosecutor thinks
that the witnesse is mentally unstable,
he could have taken the doctor's advice.
We've realised that after the witness came in the court.
We can call a doctor right now and have her checked.
First your get yourself checked up!
Mr. Banke Lal, please keep quiet.
What do you want to say?
l request to the court to allow doctor, who has been treating
Lata since her childhood, to be a witness.
Permission granted. - Please, your honour. Doctor Topiwala.
Doctor Topiwala!
Doctor Topiwala, how long have you known Lata?
For years now.
What do you know about her mental condition?
When she was 7 years old, she had a mental illness.
And now that illness has aggravated that she
doesn't even realise what she's doing or saying.
l'll just prove it.
Look, how she's shivering like a bat.
What did you say?
Lata.
Child Lata.
Lata.
After deliberation the court decides that
Lata and Banke Lal's marriage
can't be considered as a legal marriage.
Mr. Banke Lal's testimony can't be accepted
because there is no witness of the marriage.
And Lata's testimony can't be taken into account.
lt is a mad person's testimony.
And so the court nullifies this marriage and
orders that Lata should be handed over to her mother.
Banke. - Mother.
You've returned my son.
My son! Thank god.
What happened, mother?
l know everything that happened in the court,
but why did you go to Sangram Singh?
l didn't want to go mother, l went for Lata.
Never go there again for anyone.
You don't know Sangram Singh.
On hearing that devils name l start fuming!
Why?
Nothing, nothing.
Mother, you're hiding something from me.
What's the matter? Tell me.
l've tolerated one wound given by Sangram Singh.
Now l can't tolerate another one.
All my life l've saved you from him,
the way a cow saves his calf from the butcher.
Mother, what wound has that scoundrel given you?
Tell me quickly. You're under my oath!
You were very small at that time
when he killed my husband.
Say 'move' to the left bull
and say 'hurray' to the right bull.
Got it? - Yes.
Banke's father, l was thinking of admitting him
in the government school.
But you've started teaching him your own lessons.
You started teaching him to plough.
Laxmi, education makes a man great,
but farming is greater than that which feeds all the humans.
No matter how educated you're,
you've to work as other's slave.
But a farmer is the owner of his fields and not any slave.
He's the man of his own will.
What have you brought to eat?
Your favourite.
Millet bread and gram vegetables.
With mango pickle and a pot full of buttermilk.
Wow!
Come on.
Laxmi see, he's so small but he ploughing with such pride.
He's a farmer's son and he'll become a farmer.
He won't be an accountant.
He seems to be a very dangerous bull.
Banke! Son!
Be careful.
Move aside.
Banke.
You dare to hurt my bull. - My son.
How dare you!
You fool, l've floored many bulls by their horn.
You're insignificant.
This bull has tired us.
He made us run a lot.
Hand him over to us.
You fool, l won't hand it over to you so easily.
lt'll have to plough our fields till the sunset
so that it learns his lesson.
Do you know whose bull it is?
Let it be anyone's bull. lt injured the leg of my bull.
Now it has to work in my bull's place.
Look, we were being humble and respectful.
Will you handover this bull to us or not?
Not until the sunset. Tell you master
that he does not own the entire world. Got it.
We'll tell him and you'll face the consequences.
Get out, fool!
Come on!
How dare he!
l might not be the master of the entire world.
But l'll show him his place is in this world.
Sit!
Skin him alive.
lll-mannered, betrayer. - No.
Father. - Leave him. Don't hit him.
Leave him. Forgive him.
What are you looking at? Take them away.
No.
Take our bull and tie him with his own hoe.
l want to show him that his life is not more valuable
than our bull's life.
Pick him up. Take him!
Leave me! - Help!
No!
Pull harder.
Leave me.
No!
Leave me.
Now do you know what is your value and your place.
He's dead.
Come on. Hurry up.
Banke's father!
Oh god! No!
Father! - What has happened?
This atrocity happened to me, son.
But l could not say anything.
How could l? And to whom.
Everyone in the village was his slave or servant.
Your father was cremated.
But what about the fire that is still burning in my heart
and is burning me.
Father, l'm your son.
l swear on your blood which was shed on this earth
that Sangram Singh.. - Banke.
Mother, the demon that killed your husband
the one who separated a son from his father forever.
l'll.. - That's why l've come here, son.
l knew you'll try to take revenge the injustice
by killing Sangram Singh.
Promise me.
Tell me, what do you want?
Do you want Sangram Singh's blood to be shed
or his body shred to pieces!
l swear on you whatever l will keep my promise to you
even if l have to give up my life!
Then promise me that you'll kill Sangram Singh to
avenge your father's death. - Mother!
Forget about avenging your father's death!
Mother, you want me to spare that scoundrels
who killed my father mercilessly!
You can't avenge blood with blood.
Yes, you can become a murderer.
Right now l just shed tears, but do you want me to suffer too.
Mother, if l had known that you would have made me
so helpless, l would've never promised you!
Son, a farmer raises the sickle to cut the harvest
and not to behead someone.
He'll be punished by the one who punishes everyone.
Ok. l'll not take revenge from Sangram Singh.
l'll let him rot to die.
But l tell you, l'll make him suffer.
Neither will he able to rest in peace nor sleep soundly.
Banke!
Banke, come quickly!
What is it?
Lata is in trouble. - ln trouble.
Yes, Sangram Singh is forcefully marrying her.
All the arrangements have been made too.
Quickly go and save her from his clutches.
Scoundrel!
Photographer, take such a picture of my sir that
the even the highest court should agree.
l'll take a very good picture, but don't be miser while paying.
No. l am not a miser.
We're those people, who live and let live.
Stop these chants and hurry up.
The auspicious time has still not come, sir.
Priest, at such times you just have to consdier the need.
Start the nuptial rounds quickly.
What is this?
Scoundrel, Banke's arrow.
How did you know?
The way god listens to his devotees,
this husband listened to his wife's request.
Banke.
lf he escapes alive, you can go with him!
Goons, thrash him! - No!
Don't move ahead.
Who are you?
l'll show you! - No.
Hello, police station. - Yes. This is the inspector.
lnspector, Sangram Singh speaking.
Hello, Sangram Singh. How are you? - Fine.
Banke has come to loot in our house again.
He has done a very good thing. - Come here quickly.
Really? - Yes, hurry up.
Coming.
Here, l've come.
Scoundrel, you. - Yes.
l'll kill you!
Wait. Banke!
Banke! - Lata! Come.
Bless you, daughter-in-law.
Lata has filed a report against me.
Yes. And she has mentioned all the atrocities
that you've done.
And also asked for the police's help.
But how can you take this report seriously.
Lata is an adult now.
lf you value your respect, you'll be careful.
No, inspector. Some one has surely provoked Lata.
lf you'll hold anyone forcefully, she'll retaliate.
Don't interfere in Lata's matters again
or else we'll have to take actions against you.
What do l care to interfere in their matters?
l was only thinking about their betterment.
Now that you say so, it's fine.
Now you can go. - Thank you.
Mr. Sangram Singh, leave this paper here.
l'm sorry.
The earring fell in the Bareli market.
Sit. Where are you going inside?
Why is he coming here?
Did she make friends with Dhanlaxmi?
Come, sir.
Rani, ask the servant to send some tea!
So sir, why have you come here?
l've not come here to meet you
l've come here to give Salim my measurements.
He's a nice man and a very good artistan.
Yes, he's a very good artist.
Since he has come here, l'm ruined.
Will there be 4 pockets, sir?
No, just two pockets.
Sir. - Why are you shouting?
There is no need for tea.
l'm not talking about tea. - Then?
The mistress vomited everything that she ate.
l've told her often to care of her diet.
But she doesn't listen.
24 hours a day she keeps hogging the food.
lf she'll not fall sick then what else.
She's ill, but there is good news. - What is it?
You're about to become a father. - Father.
Say it again.
You're about to become a father.
How?
Why are you so amazed, Raju? She's saying clearly.
After a long time, you're about to become a father.
As soon as Salim entered your house this happened.
Congratulations.
l'm very happy to hear this news.
l'll distribute sweets in every house.
What? You'll distribute the sweets?
Raju, Salim will distribute sweets?
What will you distribute? - Sand.
Salim!
A son will be born in my house, why will you distribut sweets?
Children are the boon of God.
Humans on the earth differentiate between them.
This is yours, this is mine.
Believe me, l feel so happy as if l'm having a child.
l understood everything.
Pick up your machine and get out of here.
Why are you joking?
l'm not joking, it's true. Since you've come here
l'm suffering a lot.
Why are you getting angry, Raju?
As soon as Salim arrived in your house,
your wife became pregnant. He should be happy.
What is so bad in this?
l know what's good and what's bad.
Tailor, leave now or else l will go away.
Don't get angry, sir. l'll leave.
l don't want to trouble anyone. l want everyone's welfare.
Salim, you're a very nice man.
You come to my house. My veranda is empty.
Come on. - Yes, take him. Don't get angry, sir. l'll leave.
You already have many children in your house.
Now they'll be double.
Ok, l'm leaving. l'll take the rest later.
And and inform her too.
What?
lnform her too.
lt is my mistake after all.
Hadn't l narrated the scripture to her
l would've to see this day.
See how l scared you!
l made your heart beat faster.
See how l scared you!
l made your heart beat faster.
Oh really, you're so brave.
There is no praising you.
Oh God. - What happened?
l am in pain. O God!
You have made me fall.
What happened?
See how l scared you!
l made your heart beat faster.
See how l scared you!
l made your heart beat faster.
Leaving behind the village, with the passion to sacrifice
l saw some youth being recruited in the army.
Even l enlisted my name.
What did you do? What will l do now?
How will l live? l'll die without you.
See how l scared you!
l made your heart beat faster.
See how l scared you!
l made your heart beat faster.
Scared by the dream last night
l screamed aloud.
Mother asked what happened.
Who had come here?
lt was not me.
But by mistake l said it was you.
What did you do? What will happen now?
How will it happen? How will we meet?
See how l scared you!
l made your heart beat faster.
See how l scared you!
l made your heart beat faster.
My bull! Move faster!
Paro!
Banke you? Have you brought Lata along too?
No, l want to talk to you about something important.
What is it?
lt's about your marriage.
You thought about it after a long time.
l am fortunate, at least you thought about it.
l always kept thinking about you.
l've kept creating and solving the problems
of my marriage.
Paro, didn't you think about your marriage?
l had thought about it once.
l had a small dream.
But not a huge calamity.
ust a small incident was enough to shatter it to pieces.
Look Paro, l'm farmer.
Sometimes the fields of a farmer are barren
and sometimes they get flooded.
Crops get ruined and the farmer is devastated.
But he gets ready at that time to sow new seeds.
Ok, l'll talk about your farmer.
The farmer scatters seeds for crops.
Some seeds fall on the rocks.
Those seeds never reap, they never grow.
lt was not their fate to become a plant.
All their life they lay on the rock.
Just think that life has brought me to a similar situation.
Are you jealous of those who got married? - Banke!
You've hurt me saying that.
l'm not jealous of your happiness,
instead l pray everyday for your happiness.
l've loved you so much Banke
that even today l can give up my life for you.
Just ask for it.
Then think l'm asking for your life for my happiness.
Get married at least for my happiness.
My life is filled with joy but l feel that your sorrows
is a blemish on that joy.
Do you believe that with my marriage the blemish will be
erased and you'll be happy again. - Yes.
Ok, Banke, then l agree.
For your happiness, l'm ready to make this sacrifice too.
l'll get married.
Oh god!
You! Why are you crying?
l'm not crying, fool! - Fool!
l'm laughing, fool! - Fool!
He too had said fool! What did you say?
What you heard, fool!
You call me a fool!
l'll call you a fool! Fool!
Oh! lf he grew up in front of me, l'll go crazy.
l'll kill you!
Oh god! Leave him!
Are you a father or a butcher?
You said you'll dance will delight after your son is born.
But you've changed after his birth!
You don't know what rubbish you talk!
Yes! l know everything.
Everything was done with great pomp!
Because of you, l can't even face people!
What have l done? Tell me!
Phulrani! - Here he comes!
l'll just come!
Phulrani!
What happened? - Greetings, sir!
Greet me later! First tell me why have you again come?
Again you want to open your shop?
This is not so, sir. Today l've come for some other work.
Do you do some other work too?
l don't have a sister.
Today is the festival of brother and sister.
l've come to ask Phulrani to tie me the sacred thread.
Sacred thread? - Yes.
The first time l saw Phulrani
a voice within me said, 'Salim, she's your sister.'
Won't you tie the sacred thread, sister?
l'll surely tie it.
God bless you, brother! - God bless you too, sister.
May god give you all the happiness in the world!
Accept your brother's gift.
Brother Salim such an expensive gift?
Sister, from all the relations in the world
the bond of brother and sister is the most precious.
l'll leave now. Goodbye.
Today you can't leave like this!
First you'll have to forgive this sinner.
Then you've to eat meals prepared by your sister.
With me.
Tell me that you've forgiven me.
What is this joke?
l'm not in a position to forgive you. Look..
You both come inside. l'll serve meals.
Come. - Let's go.
Sir, l've got some news. - Tell me.
l've found out where Banke and Lata had met in the city
and how and who had united them. - Who?
His name is Saudagarmal.
And he's a broker by profession.
Fool! You were saying that this is a race horse.
l think he's a weakling. He can't even move his tail.
But what is moving there? An umbrella!
Stop!
Who is stopping me?
The umbrella said this?
Do you know who l am? - Who?
l'm the son-in-law of this village!
l was born in Kashi!
Listen to this!
He was born in the place where people go to die!
Have you ever been to Kashi?
No. But l've seen it. - Where?
ln my dreams.
Don't talk like that or else l'll get angry!
What?
Angry! And it will take ages to calm me down!
l understood. l greet you, seeing your self-respect.
l don't accept your greetings!
l'm talking politely! And you're talking rudely!
Do you've any manners?
What? l'm insolent? - Yes.
Everyday l eat spicy mango pickle and chilli!
l'm a hot tempered guy! - A fool!
What? - Yes! Where are you going?
To the loo. But where are you going?
To the village. - Why?
l won't tell you! - l won't let you go!
No? - No!
Then listen to me! - Yes.
l'm going to eat and drink as Banke's guest.
Banke's guest? - Yes.
Then sir - Come!
Now you've embraced me tell me where is Banke's house?
There. - Where?
Near Shiva's temple. - Where?
Opposite moneylender's house. - Where?
Besides the goldsmith's house. - Where?
Behind Dhanlaxman's house. - Where?
My head! - Where is your head?
Then what! Since when l'm trying to explain!
Fool, l can't see your brain. - What!
Yes! You don't have any brain! - Very good!
l don't have any brain!
lf you had brains, would you've gone to the loo
with this leaking jar?
What happened? - l forgot the actual work!
Not here! - lts very difficult!
No! What are you doing?
Where are you going with the thermos?
Listen to me! - No.
You're running away so fast! Listen!
There is hot tea in the thermos! You'll get burned!
Saudagarmal! When did you return from the city?
When? l've just reached.
You forgot Baisakhi's invitation?
Then why did you stop on the way?
Why didn't you come to the village? - What do l tell you?
l met a man carrying leaking jar.
He gave me his jar and took my thermos.
Now once he's done, we'll proceed.
You've brought her along too?
Dear, forget the old things.
l thought she'll sing and dance in the function.
There are only a few people in the world
generous like us.
There are only a few people in the world

Though only a few people like you
We get to meet with great difficulty those who are

That's why magic is not cast on them.
They never change.
They're true friend.
generous like us.
There are only a few people in the world

Don't smile with such gestures.
l understand it. l'm not crazy.
Beautiful.
Don't make excuses.
We're very tough.
Don't try us.
ln a glance

l'm not afraid to give my life.
To die,
we're ready.
Compassionate like me.
There are only a few people in the world
generous like us.
What happened?
Move! What happened?
What happened?
Nothing has happened to me! lt has happened to her!
What has happened to her?
She was dancing! - Water!
She slipped and fell!
Why were you dancing so much?
Why are you screaming so much?
Move! - Move!
Binno! What happened?
What happened?
Congratulations, Banke! - What?
You're going to be a father!
What rubbish!
Keep quiet! l'm the head of the village.
Let me ask what happened. Tell me.
lt's true.
But nothing happened here. lt happened in the city.
Actually he had come to the city
in search of an educated girl.
He met me. He implored to me.
l took pity on him. And l got my sister married to him.
He made merry and left for the village.
And before leaving he said, 'come here
with your sister for the festival.'
And here she fainted.
You're lying!
Banke, no need to fight!
You're stopping me, village head!
But you're not stopping him!
This is a serious matter. The village committee will take the decision.
Come with me!
You don't know this scoundrel!
lf you befriended him, tomorrow he'll tell
everybody that even you've a relation with her sister!
Don't worry about me. Think about yourself.
Come, Saudagarmal!
Hang on! Brother-in-law! - Scoundrel!
Lata!
What's the matter, daughter-in-law?
Why are you crying so much?
Then what else do l do?
l'm not so smart that's why your son has betrayed me!
Betrayed you? l don't believe this.
You're his mother! That's why you trust him so much!
But what l saw and what l heard,
how can l not believe that?
Silly! Even if god said this still l'll say it's a lie!
No! There is no smoke without fire!
Right, mother? - Yes. There is no smoke without fire! - Yes!
Mother, great! You too are taking her side!
Have l ever lied to you? - Never!
What are you saying, mother?
Why don't you ask your son why did he marry twice?
Married twice? Am l lord Shankar?
Kali on one said and Uma on the other.
And l'm dancing in the middle.
You were dancing just like that!
l was on one side and her on the other!
And you didn't differentiate anyone!
Mother, say something.
You both are not allowing anybody else to speak.
Fine. l forget everything. But l ask one thing!
Can any decent woman say that she's
pregnant in front of everybody?
Silly! She's not decent, that's why she could lie!
l don't believe this!
My heart says you both have some relation!
Yes! There is!
What?
Did you see this, mother? Your son is accepting it!
Now what about me?
What have you said?
What else do l say, mother?
l don't know why some ruffians
are trying to tarnish my image!
And my wife believes them!
What else can l do? - Don't do anything!
Only watch the show quietly!
They've played their ruse! Now it's my turn!
Just watch.
Saudagarmal! - Yes!
You and your sister have given
your statement to the village committee.
Any decision on just that would be considered biased.
Right.
So it will be just to give culprit Banke a chance
to defend himself.
So you or l will question him?
Village head, why are you getting in this mess?
l'll do it! Shall l ask?
Yes! - Yes!
Banke, had you come to the city to marry an educated girl?
Yes.
He said it.
And did l offer you my sister Savitri's marriage proposal? - Yes.
He said it. Now my sister Savitri'll ask the rest.
Why to feel shy from your husband?
What is the problem? lt's about justice. Ask him!
Go ahead! Ask!
Did you ask about my education and my family?
Answer her! - Yes!
Hear that! - Did you feel pity on me after hearing my story?
Yes. - Hear that!
After that after that..
Silly! Why are you feeling shy?
Ask that personal question too!
Brother-in-law can't refuse! He'll have to admit!
Yes! Stop! Let me ask this question!
You can ask him anything else that you want.
What else to ask? He's agreeing to everything. - Yes.
So Banke Chaukhelal, in front of the village committee
you've admitted that you married Savitri!
Do you've to say anything else?
l've to say, fools!
Whatever she asked, that is true!
Savitri is an educated girl. She led a lavish life.
lf l had married her she wouldn't have been able to lead
the life of a farmer's wife.
So l took pity on her and l didn't marry her.
Friends, the way that Savitri had followed angel of death
to bring back her husband's life
similarly this Savitri too has followed me here in my love.
So friends, it's my duty to marry her.
And to put this nuptial thread around her neck.
Savitri, l don't know where you were born and raised.
Still l'll make you my wife. A farmer's wife!
You'll have to cook to keep your husband happy.
You'll have to work in the fields.
You'll have to nourish the fields with cow dung.
You'll have to light the fire.
You'll get boils on your hand. lt will bleed.
But you won't stop!
Come, Savitri. Quickly wear this nuptial thread.
No!
No! Give this trouble to somebody else.
l don't want to be a farmer's wife! Forgive me.
Now you're saying to forgive you.
What about our marriage that was solemnized in the city?
No! We didn't get married!
l see! We didn't marry and you got pregnant!
No! Nothing happened!
Neither marriage nor pregnancy.
l said that on Saudagarmal's saying!
Where are you running?
Won't you take your dear sister with you?
She's not my sister!
She's not your wife too!
l lied for the money!
And Sangram Singh told me to do all this!
l see! lt means you can even kill somebody for money.
Today l'll show you how farmers treat people like you!
Get lost!
Leave him!
We'll handle him!
Constable! Take both of them to the police station!
Not only both of them, inspector!
Take that third man too! That village head!
He ran away!
He was doing justice!
Take her!
Sorry!
Look, l was insensible! l couldn't understand you.
So l'm really sorry!
No sorry! Right now l'm really angry with you.
l won't talk to you.
But why don't you understand
the wife, who loves her husband a lot, quarrels too.
And quarrel increases love.
You're being so angry for such a trivial matter!
Look, l'm apologizing. Won't you forgive me?
Fool, do you think l'm a ruffian?
Will l leave my wife and flirt with another woman!
Get lost!
Look at me!
Look! - l don't want to see anything!
Won't you even talk at me? - No!
So l'll leave! - Go! Whom are you scaring?
l'm really leaving!
Then go! What will be the problem if you leave!
l'm not going home!
l'm going away from you, the house and the village!
Go! Who is stopping you?
When mother asks you, tell her
you don't know where l'm going!
Fine! Don't worry.
Lata!
No!
Lata
Lata!
Try to recall your childhood.
When you were 12 years old
what happened to you?
No! l don't remember anything!
Try to go into your past.
Now where you've reached
a long dark tunnel starts from there.
And in some corner that thing is hiding
that has deeply affected your mind.
What did you see in the tunnel?
What did you see in? Tell me.
No! l can't say!
Bat!
Help!
Bat!
Help!
Bat! - Help!
Bat!
Help! - Bat!
Bat! - Help!
Help!
Bat! - Help!
Tell me! What did you see in the tunnel?
l..
Yes! Tell me! Speak!
l saw a frightening bat.
lt's following me.
And behind it is Sangram Singh.
Sangram Singh is following it!
Now how is Lata, doctor?
No need to worry.
ln childhood a man named Sangram Singh
had imprinted her mind with the fear of bat.
And due to lack of treatment this fear became an ailment.
Now she's fine. You can meet her.
l knew it must be that devil Sangram Singh's doings.
What! Lata's madness is cured?
Sir, what had to happen has happened.
Now think about the future.
Now you can neither prove Lata as mad
and disown her from the inheritance
nor can you separate her from Banke.
Meaning you're in deep trouble, sir.
What do you think? l'll remain quiet like a coward!
Then what will you do, sir?
What the village committee and the police couldn't do!
This is my case!
l'll fight it my own way!
l don't understand.
lts crystal clear, Charandas.
What l couldn't get Banke too won't have it.
l couldn't acquire her love. He too won't get it.
Lata has hurt me.
She'll have to pay a high for that with her life.
Will you commit murder, sir?
No! l've many men!
You're one of my men.
You were asking for 50,000 rupees for your daughter's marriage.
l'll give you 100,000.
But you'll do this task.
Do you agree or not?
Ok.
Everybody is asleep, village head.
The roads are isolated.
Fine. But listen was Banke's house dark?
ls he at home? - lt is dark.
lt means Banke is not home.
And Lata is all alone.
Mangal said that he saw Banke taking the bus.
Then what's the problem! The path is clear! Go!
Mr. Banke!
Lata!
Mr. Banke!
Paro!
Paro! - Mr. Banke, where is Lata?
She's in the hospital. She's fine.
What is this? What has happened, Paro!
My father along with Sangram Singh's men
was conspiring to kill Lata.
l ran here to give you the news!
When l came out maybe the killer thought that l was Lata
and he stabbed me.
Paro!
You said to leave.
l'm leaving the world.
l'll come, Mr. Banke. l'll surely come!
What l didn't get in this birth.. - Paro.
l'll try to have that in the next birth.
The rest is up to my destiny. - Paro!
No, Paro!
Paro!
Village head!
Banke, you are here? At this hour?
l had to come! - And this?
This is a corpse on other corpse's shoulder.
The only difference is that the other corpse is still breathing.
Oh my God! Whose corpse have you brought?
She's the goddess who died for my sake!
Tell me clearly! Whose corpse is this?
And why have you brought her here?
So that angel of death may account her deeds!
You think l'm angel of death. - No!
You've still not achieved that high post!
You're just his servant! His messenger!
What are you saying? l don't understand anything!
How will you understand? The corpse is still on my shoulder!
And you can't see her face!
You want to see whose corpse is this! See!
Parvati!
Now no matter how many times you call her
Parvati won't answer you!
The sky will tremble with your scream.
But she'll never call you father again!
My child! Parvati!
Cry louder!
Village head, you had attained your happiness
by giving sorrow to others.
This time the tables are turned so you're crying inconsolably.
Cry!
Cry to your heart's content!
Make a pool of tears so that your daughter Parvati can bathe in it.
And then dress her up as a bride.
And send her to her groom's house!
Banke, l'm already in grief.
And you're hurting me more.
l'm not hurting you. l'm just telling you what you've done!
You were afraid of hardships.
But instead of facing it, you skipped it.
You thought that way you won't have to face the hardships.
You're that fool who couldn't tolerate happiness!
So you brought sorrow on yourself!
You're right!
l've killed Paro.
To tell you the truth, l've killed myself!
What did you say? Banke didn't give my name to the police?
He didn't give your name.
And he didn't let Charandas give your name.
He must have thought if he gave my name to the police,
even his corpse won't be found.
Got scared!
l didn't get scared, rogue!
lf l had handed you over to the police, you wouldn't
have got the right punishment for your sins!
Remember what l had said?
When l'll settle your score l'll do it generously.
Scoundrel! Today l've come to do that!
Move, Bheem!
Today this scoundrel will take your place! - No!
No, Banke!
Forgive me! l beg you!
You can't be pardoned!
You're the devil who has always exploited people!
Move!
Don't kill me mercilessly like this!
lf you want to kill me, kill me instantly!
Death is the end of all sorrows, fool!
How can l kill you so soon?
Move. Plough the land!
You killed Paro brutally!
Today you've to pay the price for that with this burden!
Scoundrel, move!
This is the field where you killed my innocent father!
Today this land wants your life.
Move ahead! Scoundrel!
Now you're screaming!
You didn't hear my mother's screams
when you had killed her husband!
Today the same crime is punishing you! Come on!
Move, mother! - Stop, Banke!
Move, mother! - Listen to me!
Because of your promise, l had waited for so long!
But after he killed Paro that promise broke!
Now no power in the world can stop me from kiling him.
No! First kill me! Then you can kill him!
Mother! - l can live as a widow!
But l won't live even for a day as a murderer's mother.
ls your revenge so dear to you
that one widow is not sufficient for you
and you want to make your wife a widow too!
Banke if he died here where your father had died,
it will be an insult to him!
Hand him over to the police, Banke! - No!
Hand him over to the police!
No!
Banke! You can't take law in your hands!
You can't punish anyone for murder.
lt is what the court is for. - But..
lnspector is right, dear.
The village head has told us everything about Parvati's murder!
What have you done, village head?
l've done the right thing, dear!
l've committed a crime! l should be punished for that!
lf l hadn't told the police, you would've committed a murder
and you would've become like Sangram Singh and me!
Dear, our country doesn't need scoundrel like us.
lt needs youth like you who can even
risk their life for their principles.
Dear, don't waste your life for a scoundrel like him.
Banke, the village head is right.
A shameless and derogatory man like me
should receive such a terrible punsihment
to serve an example for the rest of the world.
lf possible, forgive me.
What happened?
Nothing. You're going to become a father, son.
Silly!
