Porter, pick up the luggage
Do you know Mr Mehta's house? - If you don't mind, I'll escort you
You seem to be a gentleman? - Right. I'm educated too
Aren't you ashamed to accost a lady? - I haven't quite begun, have I?
Don't you assume that I'm alone. - Are you? Here I am with you
Who d'you think you are? - Raju
Rajkumar Mehta
Raju! - Pushpa?
Raju!
[Softly Laugh]
You never wrote to me from England. - I did
Yes. Once, 7 years ago. I was 12 then. - Were I to write to you now...
would you reply? - Certainly. And I'm here to see you
Shobha hasn't come? - Everyone's gone for an outing
You mind my coming?
[Softly Laugh]
All right, I don't mind
Managing the business, aren't you? - No, no
Why not? He sent you to England for business studies
Business was what I started out with ; ended up learning music
Music? - Yes
Music is just a fad. Not a livelihood, can it be?
You think so too?
If it can happen out there, it can happen out here too
[Chuckling]
And when will such a time come? - It has to be brought about
Dinu Kaka, look who's here! - How did the two of you...
recognise each other? - What's so difficult?
You only have to look. - You were staring at me!
That's what he was doing even when he was a kid
Who me? Or she? - You
You! - You!
I'll send tea over while you fight it out
You! - All right, I yield. Come on
Please carry her luggage in
[Birds - Chirping]
Where are the others? - They've gone to Delhi
Okay.
Keep her luggage upstairs
Is tea ready? - Coming up, sir
Make it fast. The lady must be tired. - One thing is really tiring me out
Really? Now will you stop joking? - Let go! You're killing me!
Your father is here!
[Laughing]
No one! - Liar! How dare...?
Don't touch me!
All right, sit down Sit
Come on, sit
Okay! I'll back off
I'm not a kid anymore
That I can see
You look so pretty
And I haven't yet freshened up after the journey
[Laughing]
What? You think I'm serious?
[Groaning]
[Piano Playing]
I remember the days when we were young
Remember playing family? You would go to work
And you'd cook for me. - What wages would you bring home?
Fake coins! - Your cooking was play-acting too
[Softly Laugh]
Raju.
I've never felt as rich as I was with those fake coins
Nor have I ever had such filling meals
And one day, you went out and you never came back
Or was it you who left for your in-laws?
In-laws? - Yes
Say that again. - Your in-laws
You look pretty when you're angry
You liar! - I swear
Let me freshen up first
[Piano Playing Continues]
"I miss..."
"those intoxicating eyes"
"Friends..."
"please..."
"hold..."
"my hands"
"I miss..."
"those intoxicating eyes"
"Friends..."
Pushpa! It's you!
[Both Laughing]
Greetings. - Greetings.
All of a sudden? - I cabled. Raju received me
I picked her up from the station. - You're seeing her after so long
What would she think? - Not in front of guests
Pushpa is like my daughter. How is your father?
Fine. - Why didn't they come?
They'll come later. Mummy isn't keeping well
Oh, you're such a big girl! - I don't like this music!
Is it a crime? - Don't you talk back
Let him be. - You've spoilt him
This prestige, this wealth that you enjoy, d'you know how I made all this?
By dint of my own guts, my toil. And I send you to England...
so you'd manage my businesses, so I can hold my head high...
when I tell people, this is my son
What've I done to bring you to shame? - You ask what you've done?
You go around singing like a vagabond! - You think music is for vagabonds?
Not only I, the whole world thinks so! - 15 years ago...
the whole world thought that a contractor was no good either
What drivel! - Grandpa used to say that too
But I've proved myself! - I'll prove myself too
You think it will bring us honour? - No work is bad
You will do what I want
How long has this been going on? - Ever since Raju has returned
He's adamant. So is Daddy
It's the blood. Why don't you make them see reason?
Daddy? Had he seen reason, would I still be here?
Only time will make him realise. - Time?
It has to be brought about
A fifth cup? For whom? Raju isn't coming
Why? - He won't come
I'll bring him over
[Door Closes]
[Matchbox light]
[Puff]
Won't you laugh? - When did I cry?
Are you cross? - Not with you?
With your father? You're cross with him, he's cross with you
At this rate, it'll go from bad to worse
How am I to blame? - But you must try to solve it
You must change your attitude. - You'd rather tell him, not me
[Chuckling]
Had I not known him, would I ask you to?
This everyday feud over small things will make things worse
What do you mean to say? - There are squabbles in every family
But a compromise isn't beneath dignity. - Compromise? No question of compromise
between people who are poles apart. - One always defers to his elders
It has to be brought about. Your words. - I still say that
What's the point? Do something. When you were away...
I used to wonder how you'd turn up.
Can't you bring it to fruition?
That's what the quarrel is about. - Success takes big sacrifices
One has to give up what one loves most. - For music, I can do anything!
But in this house, I can't do a thing! - There's Bombay, there's Calcutta
There are music companies over there. - You're right, Pushpa!
No Raju, I'm not telling you to leave. I was just giving an example
I'm going to Bombay!
Is this why I'm here? So that you'd go away to Bombay as soon as I came here?
You've shown me the way, Pushpa!
In the bargain, I've lost mine
And why did I get here before my parents?
I thought we'd talk a lot, we'd go out, we'd enjoy ourselves
You can go out with Shobha. - Is that why I'm here?
All right, we're going out after tea
No? No...?
[Yell]
What happened? - I came to ask you over for tea!
[Softly Laughing]

"Should I tell everyone? Or should I keep mum?"

"You decide, I can't say"
"I'm afraid, this may kick up a storm"
"You decide, I can't say"
"You are too smart"

[Knock]
Shobha has come to know everything. - Good. We needn't tell her
She was teasing me. I shouldn't have gone out with you
Why did you? - You think I'm here to meet you?
What else for? - I won't be a subject for gossip
All for the better. - What do you think of yourself?
Wait till I've made a name for myself in Bombay.
You'll say proudly...
I won't say a thing! You just don't understand...
I don't understand? - What I want you to understand
Then tell me! - All in good time
Pushpa, hurry up and bring Raju along. Aren't you going to the party?
I'm not bringing him along. We aren't on talking terms
I'm not going to the party. - I'm not going either!
Let them go. - You expect me to say yes...
to everything you say? - Look, I'm not going
At the party, they're going to ask me to sing. And Dad wears tough boots
I'd rather stay away from parties! - Your Dad is right
You deserve a kicking
Raju.
[Harmonica, Night Insect]
[Footsteps]
[Rattle / Rustle]
Are you drunk? - In ecstasy of being with you!
Would it make a difference if I weren't drunk already?
Hush! You'll wake up everyone
Forget everyone. - Why did you drink?
Some drink because they're happy. Some drink because they're sad
Sad...? But I...
You're cross with me. So that's why...?
But I...?
You're a man. You can express whatever you dislike. I'm a girl. I can't even...
speak of what I like. - Oh yes
I'll tell you what, just tell me what you want. I'll tell everyone!
Not everything can be spoken. - Is it so special?
But how am I to understand? Oh yes,...
... you promised you'd explain
When the time comes
What better a time than this? - It's two in the night
So? Here we are. You and I.
Get up now
First, you will explain
You still don't understand?
Just keep doing that. I'll surely understand
[Chuckling]
Aren't you hungry?
I kept your dinner in your room. - How about feeding me?
[Door Closes]
I'm drunk because I'm happy
[Chuckling]
[Door Closes]
How come you haven't put my call through yet? Is this a joke?
Will you make good the money I lose because of this call?
Jerks
Why isn't Raju here yet? - He's asleep
Why didn't you haul him out of bed? - Why be angry with him all the time?
Raju is now an adult. You should at least consider that
Do you mean to patronise me because you were in my father's employ?
You will do as you're told. Go now
Jerk
Why do you want Raju so early? - In business there's lots to do!
What does he know of all that? - That's why I want him to learn
But you've spoiled him. Now he needs a kicking. And I'll straighten him out
But you won't interfere. - I'll stay mum, and I'll watch
What happened to my daughter is now happening to my son
Just because you're adamant, your daughter remains a spinster
And now you're after your son
Look, haste isn't always good
And you didn't see what I saw last night
It's going to be love that will turn him around. Don't you meddle
[Telephone Ringing] I'll handle it out.
Yes.
[Switch On]
No one seems to be here
What more could we want?
[Switch Off]
[Switch On]
I don't want anything
[Footsteps]
But I want
You're lying. Don't you really want something?

[Harmonica Playing]
First there came music. Now even a melodrama?
You said Pushpa would take care of him? He has taken care of Pushpa!
This is what you wanted me to see, and say nothing?
What more is left to be seen?
You've spoiled him rotten! You said he'd mend his ways, didn't you?
It's a kicking that'll mend him. Just you watch what I do, and not a word!
[Door Closes]
Son, you should mend your ways. - But what have I done, Mummy?
Give up music. Join the business. - You're on his side too?
What can I do? I try to reason with you, I try to reason with him
I'm not getting into business! - Not even for the show of it?
You also heard what his father said. Pushpa, take care of him
[Night Insect]
There he goes drinking again! - No way! I won't let him drink
Raju.
So they've put you on my tail? - What do you mean?
Nothing. - You suspect me?
I suspect no one. - But you don't trust me!
I don't know. - Then you don't trust me!
When did I say that?
[Night Insect]
You said nothing, and you said it all.
Have I said it all for nothing?
Everyone expects me to understand, and no one wants to understand me?
Why include me? - I don't care! I have to get away!
If you had to, why didn't you go away before I came?
Had I not chosen to wait for you, I would've left long ago
If you care so much... - I just can't decide!
Now come off it. He's your father, not just anyone else
Don't interfere, Pushpa. - Raju, this is too much!
In the meantime... waiter... - You need a cold drink to cool down
Listen..
Waiter.
[Knock]
Have it
Nice view. Just take a look
[Relaxing]
I'm ecstatic! - Already?
[Chuckling]
When did you come from Jalandhar? - A few days ago. Meet...
[Softly Laugh]
Where are you putting up? - With one of Daddy's friends
What's his name? - Don't remember
Where do they live? - Near Summer Inn
Address? - I don't know
Never mind. I'll find out
No! I'm a guest in his house. - So what? I'll come to see you
[Chuckling]
A present, from me
I don't accept presents. - Start with now
[Night Insect]
Lovely evening! The moon up there, a beauty down here
What happened? Did the policeman spoil your mood?
Handsome, isn't he?
Don't you talk rubbish
You have to settle down with someone or the other. What's wrong with him?
He makes a good enough living. He isn't unemployed, like I am
Not again! - Now don't be cross
I'm the one who's telling you. Not just anyone else
[Chuckling]
Why were you drinking?
You know it Pushpa
Anyway, as long as you're with me, I'll never drink
Really?
[Humming]
"The moon, you and I..."
"I wish we could walk together..."
"like three travellers in love"
"The moon, you and I..."
"I wish we could walk together..."
"The night's spell is working"
"May no desires well up"
"May no fragrance seduce"
"The night's spell is working"
"Now that you are here..."
"may there be..."
"no distance between us"
"I wish we could walk together..."
"like three travellers in love..."
"the moon, you and I"
"I wish we could walk together..."
"I wish I could have no control over my senses"
"May no desires well up"
"May no fragrance seduce"
"I wish I could have no control over my senses"
"I wish I don't lose my life..."
"when destination is at hand"
"I wish we could walk together..."
"like three travellers in love..."

"I wish we could walk together..."
"like three travellers in love"

[All Laughing]
[Clears Throat]
Mummy, you didn't go for a stroll. - I had a severe headache.
Why didn't you say so? I'll massage your head
Never mind. It's gone now. - Then go to town. Take Dinu along
Dinu, escort Mummy. - All right
I know, you want to get rid of me
Welcome Pushpa, look who's here.
Daddy!
My daughter looks so thin. Don't you feed her properly.
Look at this.
Hello mister, how are you?
[Indistinct Chattering]
How about some tea? - Can't I have something to eat?
Of course. - Get some sweets. And hot fries
[Laughing] I'm famished
[Indistinct]
Dwarka, what news of your school? - Being built. It's monsoons now
So the work is stopped. I'll go back and get started again
Your father runs a prosperous business. - I don't want to get involved
Then find yourself a job. - I don't want to do job either
Then you'll end up a labourer
[Harmonica Playing]
So your old friend Dwarkadas wants your son for his daughter
Must you ask for her? - We decided that already
[Both Laughing] I see!
But you see, my son is wayward. - Have you forgotten what you were?
So it's final, isn't it? - You want it in writing?
So when is the wedding? - Let's leave dates to the priests
There's a limit to how much I can tolerate. I can't live here
I knew you'd say this. - Why not? How long am I to put up...
with sarcasm and insult? Were you in my place, what would you do?
I wouldn't have minded my father. He's always joking with everyone
And everyone is making fun of me!
Including me?
I'm not talking about you, Pushpa
No more this house for me. I'm going to Bombay
Raju.
How long will you keep on stopping me, Pushpa?
So long as I can, so long as I'm destined
[Sighs]
Destiny!
Raju, promise me you won't leave! Promise me, Raju!
How many promises?
Raju, when the time comes, I'll help you pack
Shobha, please send Pushpa over here
Here she is
This is Captain Premnath. This is Mr Mehta's son, Raju
I see.
[Laughing]
The other day I saw you playing at the club. I took you for the bandmaster!
Daddy! - Hurry up
Where is this going? - Where it won't return from
Is this your final decision? - Yes
Get out of the way, I say!
[Slapping]
Then I'm not staying either
[Door Closes]
Throw it out!
Raju is the only brother I have! If he leaves, he'll never return
Pushpa, don't you ask me to stay back!
[Cupboard Door Closes]
If I'm leaving you, it's to bring about the day when I'm successful
And you'll be there with me
Raju.
[Sobbing]
[Door Closes]
Where are you going, son? - Silence!
Raj.
Think before you take that step! You can never return
Raju, my son! I won't stop you
Only time and distance will bring father and son closer
But son, in a strange land, whom will you ask for help, in times of need?
One who is confident, need never seek help
Nevertheless, keep this. This is all I have
I cannot take it. - Don't refuse me, son!
I have reared you. I too have a right over you. I beg of you!
Take it. - I don't want it
For my sake! Take it
[Sobbing]
Dinu Kaka, I'll remember this always
May The Lord give you success
[Whistling]
[Train Horn]
[Indistinct Chattering]
Raju! Take me with you. - Silly
Really Raju, without you...
Don't leave me, Raju. - You even helped me to pack
What to do? Don't stop me. I will wait for you.
[Train Horn]
Oh, I have so much to tell you!
I too have so much to tell you
Raju, are you really leaving?
Don't hold me back, Pushpa
You won't forget me, will you?
No distance can separate us
Raju, your...
Keep it with you. One day, I'll come to take it. And you too
[Steam Engine]
That's my prey. - Get on with it. Careful
You want a hotel, sir? - Not your hotel. Move it
In Bombay city, you're my guest. Come on
Who are you? - The biggest agent for all hotels
Let me show you around
[Horse Carriage / Tanga]
[Indistinct Chattering]
In Bombay city, he's my guest. My friend mustn't be inconvenienced
You know me, don't you? - Understood
Your friend is my most valued guest. - That's how we do it
How about taking a tour of the city? - Yes, let's go
Manager, make sure he gets a clean fresh bed
Not to forget the mosquito net. And a hot meal when he gets back
[Indistinct]
Cabby!
How about a paan? - I don't take paan
Just try this one
Brother.
Two sweet paans. Make sure they're good enough to get him hooked to paan
In Bombay city, he's my guest. - And you're a patron
The paan I'm fixing for you is going to give you a kick!
May you live long! - Here's your Sargam brand paan
Sargam brand? - Yes. Haven't you noticed...
the name of my shop? - Tan Sen Paan Company
An ancestor of mine used to make paan for the legendary music maestro Tan Sen
Imagine this! Were it not for paan, would he ever have been able...
to compose such great music? Nor would he ever have had a fan in Emperor Akbar
That's the origin of the Sargam paan, once the favourite of maestro Tan Sen
This is providential! He's a musician too. He'll need your paan
I am fortunate to have met you!
Incidentally, thanks to music in my genes, I too know a bit of music
Should you have the time, we could exchange notes
Two Rupees. - Two?
I also sell stuff worth two pence. I knew you when I saw you
That's why I gave you the Sargam brand. Maestros pay me as much as 50 for one!
Two Rupees. Here you are. - What are you doing?
Why do you forget? In Bombay city, you're my guest
[Softly Laugh]
This gentleman is living in the hotel across. He's also magnanimous
If he likes your paan, he'll pay you even a hundred bucks for a paan!
Come, let's go.
Show him some place.
[Small Hand Drum]
Waiter.
[Chuckling]
This is the place I told you about. This is where the most famous of...
poets, singers and music directors in the city spend their evenings
Look over there. He's a famous poet
And that man over there is a famous singer
The woman behind me is a great dancer!
The man with her is Mr Shaaq the famous music director
Is that Shaaq? - Yes
I've heard lots about him. - He's your key to success
By God, he's a maestro. What a command he has on music!

Hello there!
Hi! What are you doing there?
Your Sargam brand paan is waiting for you!
Where are you off to so early in the day, bag and baggage?
Here, have a Sargam brand. You'll feel nice
Not now. - Why not?
You like music. And thanks to Tan Sen, I'm a maestro too.
Have a paan. And let's exchange some notes.
No, not now. Some other time
What's up? You won't have a paan, you won't even exchange notes
Tell me, is it something serious? Now don't be shy
It's nothing. - Are you missing folks back at home?
Or is Bombay too much for you?
[Laughing]
Look, we're both music lovers
What's life if you and I can't help each other? Tell me. Don't hesitate
I might be a poor, uneducated oaf. But I'm human too. You must tell me
The man who was with me last night cleaned me out
Cleaned you out?
No problem
I say, it happens in Bombay. A man's disposition isn't written on his face
I know no one in this city. But your sympathy gives me the courage to ask...
Yes, go on
I was wondering if I could pawn my suitcase...
... and my clothes for 10 Rupees
Understood!
Here, keep 20, and push on. Keep your suitcase
You don't know how deeply you have obliged me
How can one man oblige another? Here, have your paan
And put a smile on your face. You're handsome, you know
Keep the suitcase. - No. Don't ask me to do that
I mean, I have to go around. I can't carry it everywhere
That's another thing. Put it away
Make sure you come back for it. But someday, you must hear me sing
I've written songs good enough for maestro to take notice
Sure.
What a fellow! Does he take the Tan Sen Paan Company for the poorhouse?
I'll throw him out if you want.
Must you always get worked up?
Wait, let me wake him up
You...? - Oh... it's you!
Your shop was shut by the time I got back. So I slept here
I'm not about to let you sleep out here. Hey, get a special tea
Put more milk. - You have my suitcase
Sure. It's right here. Go and get the suitcase
No, I want to sell my clothes to pay you back
What do you mean? Oh, I get it now
Listen. - Yes. - Come here.
Go and clean the room upstairs. And tell the restaurant...
to have his food sent up twice a day. - But Shankar...
No buts
In Bombay city, good folks like you are rare
If it pleases you to praise me, go on. But shall I tell you something?
Someday, you must hear me sing
I will
Can I have some money, Shankar? - Why not? For you I'd stake my life
Someday, you must hear me sing. - I will
[Horse Carriage / Tanga]
Stop.
Hey mister!
Listen
You...? - Do you live here?
On the first floor. A small room. - I'm lucky to have found you
I'll surely come over sometime
Okay.
Goodbye - Goodbye
Excuse me, I don't know your name. - I'm called Raju
Raju? Couldn't have been better. See you. Let's go
[Song Singing]"
Don't you know who she is? - I think I met her at a recording
Who is she? - Famous singer. Miss Butterfly!
Is that so? - And it's interesting!
[Humming]
[Applause]
You!
I didn't know you sing so well. - I hum a few lines
No, this is something new. People are fed up of old styles
People will start swaying to your tunes. I'm sure of it
I've spoken about you at the music company. I'd like to sing with you
Thanks a lot
But there's a condition. - Condition? What condition?
You will call me by my first name. And may I also call you by first name?
Only that? Is that so difficult?
Mr Raju, how can I help you? - Music is a hobby for me
Nice hobby. Where are you from? - Shimla. But in England...
I studied music for two years. - Very good
But over here, it's traditional music. - Capable people like you...
can change the trend. If you wish. - My wish has little to do with it
It all happens in time. The new always replaces the old
If you really have the talent, you will be appreciated
The other day, you were tapping your foot to his music
Really? - Yes
Earnestly I seek a companion. I swear, I couldn't find one
You sang it really well. It still resonates in my mind
[Trumpet]
"Who has seen a tomorrow?"
"I've given my heart to you"
"Who has seen a tomorrow?"
Whatever you say, our Raju sings well. - I always said so
But you... - Not I. His father
What he says is right too.
Music may be a hobby. Not profession
[Song Playing Over Radio]
You don't like talking sense?
What's your problem? Both the families are well-off
But it's the responsibilities after marriage that makes a man
Still, if Raju has any problems
[Horn Honking]
Here comes the father of the man we've been talking about
Welcome!
- I was waiting for you - How are you?
[Chuckling]
You're getting fatter. How is your wife?
Fine. - Where is she?
Must be in the kitchen. - Tell her I'm here
Look who's here! Rustle up some tea. - Tea? What about dinner?
Sure! Let's organise this. Pushpa, get cracking
Get some sweets too. - So you still have the habit?
Ramu.
Letter for you
How is your wife? - Fine
Here comes her letters. You better organise the dinner
Hello Pushpa.
Two tickets to the cinema! Let's go. - Thanks, but I can't come
Daddy is inside
[Indistinct Chattering] [Song Playing Over Radio]
You?
Greetings. - Come. Come.
Please be seated. - I have two tickets to the cinema
Please excuse me
So what brings you here all of a sudden?
You could've cabled
Anyway, now that you're here, let's finalise the wedding date
"They say that the wait is worth it's while"
"You won't have to wait much longer"
"I'm trying my best to get over to Ambala at the soonest..."
"to bring you and my mouth organ to Bombay"
The question of my son marrying your daughter doesn't arise!
How can this be? My daughter has waited all along for Raju
She's as much your daughter as she's mine. I won't let her life be ruined
What are you saying Mehta? There isn't someone like Raju in this whole world!
[Chuckling]
Without doubt. That wastrel has brought me to such shame!
And you expect me to let him marry Pushpa? Never!
The burden of responsibilities will change him
Will he ever change? If he marries, he'll marry a crooner or a dancer
Must you talk ill of your own son? - Not son. My enemy!
I severed all relationships the day he left home. For me, he's dead!
What's all this noise? - A procession?
[Wedding Music Playing]
Good news, Raju! I'm scoring music for a film!
Congratulations, Mr Shah! - Congratulations to you too
You've become a music director too. - I...?
Four films. I'll score for two. You will score for two
If you refuse, I'll refuse too
But Mr Shah, you...?
[Chuckling]
I'm obliged!
Obligations? Between men? Forget it
Let's get cracking
I... don't understand
Do I need to explain?
[Song Singing]
Will you see if the flower girl is still around?
Shankar... - At your command, my Lord!
You'll be happy to hear that I'm in films
I'm moving out. - For real?
I'll settle your accounts... - If you're trying to give me...
a heartburn, I won't let you go! You promised to hear me sing
I surely will. - That's what you say all the time
But you never listen! If not today,...
... we're friends no more! - All right, sing
Won't you make a paan for me? - Sure. But my guru wrote this
I composed it
[Chuckling]
[Song Singing]
"There's someone for company"
"And meetings everyday"
"She is his love, and we are mere pastime"
[Tomtom]
"Come off it"
"Why must you..."
"cook up stories?"
"Come off it. Why must you..."
"Your dull face..."
[Softly Laughing]
"and your unkempt hair..."
"reveal..."
"your miserable state"
"Don't hide your love..."
"from me"
"Don't hide your love..."
"from me"
"I know the truth, my dear"
"Don't shy away"
"Your eyes..."
"reveal a lot"
"Come off it. Why must you..."
"cook up stories?"
"Come off it. Why must you..."
"cook up stories?"
"Come off it. Why must you..."
"cook up stories?"
"Come off it. Why must you..."
"cook up stories?"
"Come off it. Why must you..."
"cook up stories?"
"Come off it. Why must you..."
"cook up stories?"
"Why must you cook up stories?"
"Upper pitch"
"cook up stories?"
[Tomtom]
Cut it
[Relaxing]
Compare his music with mine, and his are flowers; mine are thorns
And butterflies sit on flowers, not on thorns
Anyway, I wish him all success. tell me, am I talking rubbish?
No way. - Make me a paan
I'm going up to deliver a letter. - Make the paan
Never mind butterflies. Is the flower girl still around?
Yes, she's there - Come to me, flower maiden!
[Song Singing]
Any mail? - On the table
No other letters? - No
Could you have misplaced them? - No
Strange. I was expecting a reply
Start investigating immediately. - Sure
Are you punishing yourself?
I see, a letter. Must you write even if you don't get replies?
Baanke, drop the letters at the post office
And inform my mother that I won't be back tonight
Okay.
[Piano Tune]
I'll handle my mother. But what about the rumours about you and me?
Ignore it. Must people be told what's between you and me?
[Piano Playing]
It's you who is aware of it.
But tell me, what does she have that I haven't?
Strange question?!
Lots of difference, right? She's from a respectable family
You love her, and you hate me. - Who told you that I hate you?
But you don't love me, do you? - You fall in love only once
Were it true love, at least one out of four letters would've been answered
She might be unwell. - In your absence...
she might've fallen for someone else. - Don't you ever say that again!
True, I'm obliged to you for your help. But that doesn't mean...
you can insult me like this! You can't ridicule my love!
God forbid!
Why did I have to crack such a joke?
Are you angry? Forgive me, Raju
Lady, letter for you. - I'm coming
Raju, you've forgiven me, haven't you?
What are you doing?
You're late. You should go home
Look, I hate no one. But I love only one girl
I don't want you to misunderstand me
It's no use trying to lessen the distance that separates us
Pushpa.
No letters yet from Raju?
How long will you wait for him? People gossip about spinsters
Am I now a burden for you, Mummy?
All my life I've waited for the two of you to grow up and get married
But now even Mr Mehta has written him off.
He says your life might be ruined.
It's better to forget him.
Even if he forgets me, I can't forget
If I ever marry anyone...
Is it any use being adamant? He doesn't even care for you
Your father was saying that the Captain is willing
In that case... I'm going to Bombay
The Captain is a good fellow too. Everyday he comes, hoping...
You care for what he hopes? What about my hopes?
Girls from respectable families don't talk like that
Then strangle me, kill me! That's be the end of it all!
[Sobbing]
I have only enemies! - Why are you crying?
Let me write to Mangaldas right away. We'll find out about Raju
We'll decide after we get his reply
Happy now?
[Softly Laugh]
[Song Singing]
[Horse Carriage / Tanga]
What paan will you have? - I don't take paan
I'm looking for Rajkumar Mehta. - Used to
What a gem of a man!
But get involved with a woman, and the man is ruined!
What do you mean? - See this photo?
She's a witch!
I see. What's her name? - Miss Butterfly
What else could her name be? - Where does she live?
She took Mr Raju with her. Now she lives with him
Do you know his address? - I visit him once in a while
The house is called"Dilkhush". It's at the corner of Warden Road
So are you from any music company? - No
I'm a relative. - Greetings, sir!
Will you please remind him about me? If he hears me sing for once...
Move
What a blunder! He happens to be a relative, and I told him everything!
What do I do now?
Listen..
Where are you? - Did you find Raju?
Just as well that I didn't find him. - What happened?
What was to happen? You are the one who asked me to look him up
And I did what I never did in my life! - Will you say something?
I had to speak to a whore! - Whore?
Yes. He has kept a whore. - Goodness!
What else are these music types upto? He has ruined his family name
If Mr Mehta hears, he'll kill himself! - Such times...!
The poor girl is saved! I'm writing directly to her father, not to allow...
this wedding to happen under any circumstances!
Letter
For you
Pushpa.
This is a lie!
I can't believe this!
I'm going to Bombay - Pushpa!
[Knock On Door]
You...?
Do you know me? - Yes. I've seen your photo...
on the sahib's table. - Where is he?
Gone out with the lady
Who's the lady? - His mistress
They might've gone out, or they could be at the Imperial Film Company
The film seems to be progressing well. - It's the direction and your music
You still have to score four songs. - I asked you for two weeks' leave
I have to go to Ambala. - Leave?
No! Don't talk of leave! First the work. Then you'll get leave
The release dates have been finalised. And you want leave?
Just score the music for four songs.
Please let him have the lyrics
Are you tense up because you couldn't get leave to go to Ambala?
Just thinking of her makes you so tense? I'm here with you, am I not?
I'll even give my life for you. But you won't even ask me
Just give me a chance
Listen, if you're so depressed what will happen to me?
Love is a two-way traffic
I'll be back
Listen...
[Door Closes]
Are you leaving? I think you're here to meet Raju
But we'll be late getting home tonight
If you want to wait... - What for?
Won't you meet him? - I don't think it's necessary
Coming. Goodbye
Good bye.
Look at me, I'm even giving you a send-off
What do you mean?
Are you crying? - Why should I?
I should be laughing. - I'll be back in a month, silly
[Softly Laughing]
Don't you ever call me silly.
I'm fast, I'm clever
But I'm a woman. What can I do but cry?
You should be happy for me. - Who says I'm unhappy?
But Raju, you should consider that I gave up everything for your sake
And what have I got? Not for a moment have you even looked at me lovingly
I respect you. - Not respect. A woman wants love
But can a man be forced against his will?
I worshipped you. Fool I was!
Pushpa and I are childhood sweethearts. You know that.
I can marry no one else
Baanke, put the luggage in the cab. He has been ready to go for so long
[Wedding Clarinet]
Greetings, Mr Raju. - What's going on?
Pushpa is getting married
Let's go cabby. - Where to?
Station
Shall I keep the luggage in your room? - Whose luggage?
Raju's. - Raju? Where is he?
In the carriage. - Put it in my room
Listen. - Yes.
Where's Raju? - He left
Left? Where to? - To the station
Get me a cab. Quick! - Very well
Why did she do this to me?
Brother...
I looked for you everywhere at the station
Anything left to look for? - You never even met me before leaving
Have you started again? Pushpa said, you've left it
Tell Pushpa I've started all over again
Is the wedding over? - I don't know. I was looking for you
I could've done nothing to stop...
... this from happening
Was there any need? - I was helpless
And you never even wrote me a letter.
The one I used to write to...
has put paid my dreams. - Pushpa said that you stopped writing
Lies
But Shobha, what use is all this talk?
Where are you going? - Wherever I can go
Why don't you skip this train? At least meet mother.
I'll call her over.
She still pines for you
In this world, everyone is pining
Memories and memories
[Wood Door Opens & Gride]
Raju, I beg of you, meet Mummy before you leave
No point meeting anyone anymore. Everyone is celebrating my ruination
Give Pushpa my congratulations on her wedding
You received this telegram the day before yesterday, didn't you?
And you show it to me now? After the wedding?
This is so dangerous!
She might end up a widow!
Captain, if I stoop to your levels, I can annul this wedding. Right now!
This is no time for such talk. - Had I know his true colours...
I would never have taken your father's advise
I would've married Pushpa off to Raju
"I miss..."
"those intoxicating eyes"
"Friends..."
"please..."
"hold..."
"my hands"
"I miss..."
"those intoxicating eyes"
"Liquor..."
"I never drank"
"I am..."
"drunk in grief"
"Liquor..."
"I never drank"
"I am..."
"drunk in grief"
"I don't know how..."
"to rise after a fall"
"So come..."
"walk with me"
"Friends..."
"please..."
"hold..."
"my hands"
"I miss..."
"those intoxicating eyes"
Bravo!
Raju, come
Here's the road that leads to your goal
I took women for playthings
You looked at women as mothers, sisters, goddesses
I've never found love
Not a mother's love, nor a sister's love
No one who would make me, no one who could break me
Raju, you have everything I don't have, things I never had
Drink. But drink to make others drunk
Let the world drink in the ecstasy of your poetry. Why court grief?
The ones who make you sad, let them suffer
If not for your own sake, then for the sake of grieving broken hearts...
for the sake of the times past, sing Raju. Sing!
[Piano Playing]
[Trumpet]
[Applause]
[ Printing Machine Noise]
Look at this. Raju's photo
Are you convinced that he has earned money and reputation?
Shobha.
Isn't this why you threw him out? - No use rubbing salt into my wounds
Will you accept him now? - I don't quite know what to do
I can forget the past. But can Raju forget?
He's your son after all. Why don't you try?
Shobha, why don't you go to Bombay and look him up?
Leave right away
Did you receive the cable? - Yes
We're going to Bombay to meet Raju. Shobha is in that compartment
You want anything from Bombay?
What's there in Bombay for me?
What a life. You married him, but you haven't even spent a night together
Let's talk about something else
Sit
You must've heard about my brother
He was determined. He has reached his goal
Today he is a music director. Today he has the fame, the wealth, everything!
A pretty wife too. - Wife?
But ask him, was he in such a hurry to marry that he couldn't even find...
a respectable girl? Why did he marry a whore?
What are you saying? - As if you know nothing?
I'm telling you the truth. We know nothing about this. Who told you?
Had someone told me, I would never have believed
But I was destined to see it with my own eyes
What do you mean? - What it means is that...
he has deceived me. - Deceived you?
Raju has deceived you? Or was it you who deceived him?
Shobha.
Now that it's out, why should I stay silent?
Why did you stop replying to his letters?
Was it I? - Yes. You
He was here. But then you were getting married.
And now you're blaming him...
to cover up for yourself? - He came here?
I met him myself at the station. - Why didn't you tell me?
Telling you would've made matters worse
You were right. Your brother was right. I'm the only one to blame
But now, it'd be a sin for me to even think about all that
You called me here to tell me all this? - I was silent, you picked it up
Make sure to tell your brother that had I known...
I would've sent a wedding gift for his bride
Give this back to him
He left it with me when he was leaving
He said...
some day he'd come back for it and...
That day never came
Whose cable? - Be patient. I'll tell you
It's the Captain. He's landing in Bombay the day after tomorrow
Pushpa, the Captain has cabled. You're leaving for Bombay tomorrow
Bombay?
We're coming with you too
Excuse me, can I have that paper? - Sure
Mr Raj's photo! Didn't I say he's a big man?
How else would he be in the papers?
Look at this! - You were right
Let's cut this photo and preserve it. He was a dear friend
Where does he live? - Down the lane
Which lane? - The lane beside his house
Where's that? - Next to each other
Get lost!
Hey, aren't you the one who robbed him?
Where does he live? I want to give his money back
Have you hit the jackpot? Take him upstairs and give him the address
Where do you think you're going? How about mincemeat for him...?
... English style!
Raju.
Shobha.
How did you get here? - I asked around
Why didn't you write? - Just like that
[Chuckling]
Oh yes, who am I after all? What is a brother anyway?
Don't say that Raju
I would've come to the station myself. Or I could've sent the car
My mistake
What have you done to yourself?
I'm perfectly all right
You know everything, and you still ask?
I heard you've married
Married? Oh yes, with great fanfare!
Everyone sang, everyone danced!
How have you been? How is Mummy? - She worries herself sick for you
And Daddy is looking for an excuse to meet you
Come, let me show you to your room
Unfortunate. Her husband was sent off to war right after the wedding
He should be back soon.
Anyway, if you don't mind, can I ask you something?
Where's your wife?
Silly girl
Shobha my sister, don't you realise? I'm not one of them who get married
I'm not really one of them
What I suspected turns out true! I was sure there was a misunderstanding
Misunderstanding? Whose? - Pushpa
Let's talk something else.
Yes, its best forgotten
Pushpa has sent back the memento you left with her
That story is over. Now start life afresh. Get married
After all this?
Who are you? - Raju's sister
What did you say? - Raju's sister
I'm Shaaq. Raju's friend. We are colleagues
I was surprised to see you. I've never seen a woman in this house
Where did Raju go? - That's what I'd like to know
Then I know. He's out drinking. - You're his friend, aren't you?
Why don't you stop him? - Friendship doesn't work here
When the heart is wounded, man will even challenge God
Please take me to him. I'll talk to him
No! There are these places where mothers and sisters must enter
But don' you worry. I'll bring him back
Oh I forgot! More than Raju or I, you deserve to know this good news
Raju is acclaimed as the best music director
A function is being organised to felicitate him
If you permit me, I'd like to give him the invitation myself
Sure. - See you
Letter? From whom? - Pushpa
When did she come to Bombay? - This morning
[Knock On Door]
Letter for Ms Pushpa
"I've just arrived. Come to see me if you can"
"I'll wait for you : Pushpa"
Good you're here in Bombay
Will it be the verbal lashing again? - Forget all that, Pushpa
Forgetting? Isn't it easier said than done?
Raju is suffering too. He still thinks, you deceived him
Lies! - He's getting drunk
He's wasting his life. Without a care for all the fame, the money, anything
He always comes home past midnight, and he's always drunk, senseless...
and he trips, he falls down the stairs!
Pushpa, he has no wife!
He has no one in this whole wide world! Except me...
and you. - No!
For me, it's a sin to even think of this!
If this is sin, he'd rather drink himself to death
I cannot do anything... now I can't do anything!
[Sobbing]
Nothing.
I don't want anyone's help, Shobha. - It's me
I'm seeing you after so long ... you still look the same
Are you happy, Pushpa?
Congratulations on your wedding
I should've congratulated you long ago,
but I didn't have even time to think...
not even time to look you up. - Stop drinking, Raju
In what joy does one desert a companion who has stood by in times of grief?
Let's not talk of joy and sorrow. I haven't come to remind you of...
the promises you have broken.
All I have come to tell you is to stop drinking.
And what else was it that you said? That I have broken promises?
Well yes, I must've broken promises
Aren't promises made to be broken?
Else, why are letters not answered?
Why doesn't one wait? Why doesn't one trust?
Didn't I...? - No. I didn't
And who is the one who got married with great fanfare?
Why now? - Why Pushpa, why?
I too can ask lots of questions. But I haven't the will anymore
All I'm here to tell you is stop drinking, Raju
And give up the illusion that one who isn't mine, is still mine?
What of one who isn't allowed to live in illusions? What does she do?
She does what you have done to me
So many promises, so many oaths. In your letters, you'd wait...
to be there with me on the day I succeeded. And what comes of it?
Pleasure? Yes, to live a life in grief.
I don't want to argue
But stop drinking, Raju!
By what right do you say that... again and again?
I may not have the right anymore. But once, you gave me the right
First you get married, and then you come back to claim your right?
Why did you deceive me? What was my crime?
Why didn't you answer my letters? Why didn't you wait?
Why didn't you trust me? - Stop drinking, Raju!
Not a single question answered
Where have you been Pushpa?
Pushpa.
What is the matter?
[Sobbing]
We've been expecting you for so long. Go inside
Pushpa, where have you been? I've been waiting for you
I had cabled you. I was expecting you at the docks
Where have you been so late at night? Where have you been?
At Shobha's place
To meet Raju?
I'm staying at the Taj. I'll come to pick you up tomorrow morning
It's me. Captain
What are you doing here so late at night?
Nothing
I just wanted to congratulate you
Once I called you a bandmaster. Little did I know...
It was a great favour. - I think you didn't like it
Why didn't you come for my wedding?
Had I known your address, I would've sent you an invitation
Actually, I got married in a hurry. I didn't even get the opportunity...
to throw a party to celebrate. I was ordered to go to the front immediately
We couldn't even go for a honeymoon. Surely you know all that
I don't know anything. Nor have I ever tried to find out
Didn't Pushpa tell you?
Your childhood friend. Surely you know that she's the one whom I've married
She mentioned you often in her letters
I hear your sister Shobha is here. The two of them are friends, aren't they?
They must be seeing each other, right? - Maybe. I don't know anything
She goes where you live, and you know nothing?
What do you mean? - Nothing especially. But strangely...
you spend most of your time together, and you claim to know nothing...
beyond a childhood spent together? - I understand what you're getting at
But I don't care to think...
... or speak about what is over
And clearly, you suspect your wife.
But I'll bet that she's honest...
she's proud and she's a woman of character
You're getting me wrong. - I'm dispelling your doubts
It's unbecoming of educated gentlemen of your repute...
... to accuse your wife
Anyway, now that you're, please be seated
If you want a drink, here's the bottle
And here...
is an invitation for tomorrow
Keep another
Strange. How can you be unhappy about being in Bombay?
I am here because you called me
What have I to do in this city?
Don't you know anyone else here, no one apart from me?
Whom do you I know? - You know Raju. Your childhood friend
That friendship ended when we were children
But when I saw you in Shimla, you were grown-ups
What use is all this now? - Maybe Raju doesn't think that way
Did you meet Raju? - I did. Any objections
Did he say anything about me?
Yes. - What?
He has invited you. Especially
Did he have to say anything else? - Whatever he had to say...
wasn't convincing enough
So you suspect me?
[Trumpet]
"I miss..."
"those intoxicating eyes"
"Friends..."
"please..."
"hold..."
"my hands"
"I miss..."
"those intoxicating eyes"
"Friends..."
"please..."
"hold..."
"my hands"
"I miss..."
"those intoxicating eyes"
"Liquor..."
"I never drank"
"I am..."
"drunk in grief"
"Liquor..."
"I never drank"
"I am..."
"drunk in grief"
"I don't know how..."
"to rise after a fall"
"So come..."
"walk with me"
"Friends..."
"please..."
"hold..."

"I miss..."
"those intoxicating eyes"
"Those eyes..."
"I still see"
"My wounds..."
"are still young"
"Those eyes..."
"I still see"
"My wounds..."
"are still young"
"I don't need..."
"a salve"
"What good..."
"is sobriety?"
What have I done to harm you? What are you punishing me for?
Why are you insinuating? And by what right?
That right I haven't anymore. But once, you did give me the right
Now that you haven't, will you give me a bad name like this?
Is it revenge? You want to ruin me? - Not I. You have ruined me
Else, today you would've been with me. I ask you, what was my crime?
Crime? You come here, you rise to fame; in the dazzle you forget your promises
Is the crime mine or yours? - Yours! But I'm suffering for it
Wealth, prestige, name, fame it's all useless for me
What use this success, if I haven't the one who promised to stand beside me?
And you used that as the excuse to pour your heart out to my husband?
I'm not so lowly to discuss you with others
I have told you whatever I had to say. I'll tell you whatever I have to say
It's you I'm accusing. No one else. - And it's you I accuse!
Because I didn't attend your wedding?
Because you didn't invite me to yours
I couldn't have come. But I would've sent a wedding gift for your wife
You should've had a more believable alibi for marrying the Captain
Like "The Captain is an honourable man and he makes a decent living"
You spurned love for the money? How much is your love worth?
How much did you want? - Love for sale?
So that's what the whore taught you? - Whore? Who?
The one you married. - I married? A whore?
That's a lie!
I too thought it was a lie when I visited Bombay before I married him
But I was destined to see it all with my own eyes
What did you see? - Whatever I had heard of
Whatever you saw and heard was a lie! If you came to Bombay...
why did you leave without seeing me? - What was left of it?
Those promises that brought you here? - But you had forgotten all that
That was my allegation. Why didn't you answer my letters?
I wrote to you. You never replied. - I wrote to you everyday
You never replied. - Didn't I?
You didn't! - Didn't I write that I love you?
No! - Didn't I wait for you?
No! - Denials and denials!
Why did I go to Ambala? To see with my own eyes, my ruination?
If you believed me, my love for you, you could've stopped my wedding
If you believed me, you'd never marry. - I was helpless
You were the first to marry. - You, or I?
You. - So I deceived you?
Was it I who lied? - Was it I who never had faith in you?
Was it I who broke promises? - Wasn't I the one who waited?
Wasn't I the one who remained true? - If you've remained true, tell me...
where is gone the joy of our lives? I have reached my goal...
yet my goal is so far removed from me, I have nothing left
And you have it all. The happiness, a family, everything
If your allegations are true...
not all the waters in the seas will cleanse my heart...
nowhere in the world have I to turn to, to hide my shame
I saw you with Ms Butterfly. I misunderstood you
I left without seeing you. Oh, how grave a punishment...
for so little a mistake. I couldn't give you the only dream you had
You have reached what you set out for. And I'm not here to be with you
Whatever had to happen has happened. Now, I'm happy if you're happy
You're someone's wife, you're raising a family. You do your duty, I do mine
If there's anything, ever, I shall always try to make you happy
You may have gone away from me. But you will always be with me
Because I was in love with you, I still am, and I'll always be in love
So my suspicions turn out to be true!
So this is the gentleman that you are
What an example of a woman's fidelity! - There's no worse an aspersion...
than a character assassination. Especially for a woman
Are you arguing her case again? The two of you have deceived me
You've got it wrong. - That's what I'm here to decide
No mind clouded with suspicion, no conscience torn with allegation...
no hand holding a gun has ever been able to arrive at a decision
A decision isn't arrived at. It's done! - Then decide
If my blood can wash your suspicions or exonerate Pushpa of false allegations...
then shoot! But don't you forget that better than regretting...
once the truth outs, is knowing the truth beforehand
What more truth? I just heard you say you were, are and will be in love!
I haven't lied. Love is more emotion than passion. I'll tell you in your face
I have always lived Pushpa. I always will
Shut up!
[Glass Breakage]
[Yell]
[Cop Siren]
No need for worry. She's in a state of shock. She'll recover soon
How is Pushpa? - Fine
Excuse me
Goodbye - Goodbye
Please stay beside Pushpa. - I must look up Raju
Not necessary. Shankar is with him. He'll come here after his dressing
Lord help my daughter's husband!
[Crying]
Whatever God wills happens. Whatever had to happen has happened
I've tried my best to convince Mehta. But he's unrelenting
What use thinking about fate?
But a wrong can be set right
What can be done now? - If you want it, everything
You are also in a state of shock. This is no time to discuss this
But neither can I stay mum
Not necessarily, whatever you elders do is always right. Times are changing
Everything is changing. But you won't change
Man cannot ignore changing times. Society cannot oppress people
Keep lovers apart, and you destroy their hopes and aspirations
Break the chains of social tradition. Have the courage to set an example
That is all I request you. - Whatever you've said is right
This is what should happen. - You'll be leaving in a while
I'll send Raju as soon as he recovers
Raju!
Dear.
