Greetings, Mr. Chaubey. - Greetings.
Here's today's mail.
And registered letters.
This is headmaster's letter. - Okay.
From Mumbai. - Okay.
You'll go to court, won't you? - Yes.
Deliver it to his house. - Okay.
I've heard that yesterday you had gone to Kanchhedi's marriage
high on cannabis and gobbled up 25 sweets!
Get lost! Mind your business!
And also fell unconscious! - Are you leaving?
Greetings, master. - Greetings to you.
Your letter.
Should've delivered it at school.
When I went to school, Mr. Chaubey said
this letter is from Mumbai for the master.
Deliver it to your house. - Give it to me.
Didn't you go to school today?
Let me stay home once in a while.
Okay.
Whose letter is it? - Meera's.
She has written about a groom for Geeta. - Really?
What has she written? - The boy belongs to a good family.
He's a relative of her sister-in-law.
He has studied engineering in Germany.
He has a good job. His salary is 2000 rupees per month.
He will be suitable for Geeta.
If he likes the girl, he doesn't want anything else.
Good!
At Madhupur, a big bridge is being constructed on the river.
He has been transferred there as the executive engineer.
He'll reach there next Monday.
Find him a good airy bungalow.
There should be a garden in front of the house.
He likes flowers very much.
If he likes Geeta then we won't find a better alliance.
The boy has progressive thinking.
Ask mom to relax her orthodox rules
in case the boy wants to take Geeta out
and she should not refuse them permission to meet.
The boy would like to know Geeta
so there is nothing wrong in their meeting.
Ask Geeta not to talk too much since she's very talkative.
Talkative..
If we miss out on this boy we'll never find another like him.
Geeta would have the best and the richest husband among the three of us.
Good!
What more can I write? You are more experienced.
Your daughter.
Well? - She has become very wise!
She tells her mom to relax her orthodox rules!
Am I orthodox or are you? - Forget about us.
The boy is really very good. - Yes.
But is our Geeta that lucky?
Our Geeta is inferior to none.
She has appeared for the 10th grade exams!
The boy is also an engineer. He has studied abroad.
He can easily get a graduate girl.
And he's also rich. - By god's grace, everything will be fine.
I'll advice Geeta about it.
She is young. And a bit childish.
Really, if this marriage happens then..
It will happen.
Mr. Bhaure's bungalow is lying vacant. Get it cleaned.
Since the boy likes flowers.
Geeta will present him a bouquet everyday.
Let go of me!
I won't let go! I'll catch you!
How far will you run?
I'll catch you!
There goes her marriage!
Got you!
Ganpat! - Yes, sir?
Ask the ticket-checker whether headmaster,
Mr. Pitamber Choudhary, has come. - Okay, sir.
We want to meet the headmaster, Mr. Pitamber Choudhary.
Has he come? - Headmaster, your guests have arrived.
Go. - Mr. Choudhary!
This is our boss.
You? - I've come from Mumbai.
Are you Pitamber Choudhary? - Yes. Come with me.
Is this the river on which the bridge is being constructed?
This is a big lake, Blue Lake.
Such a big lake!
Your town is really very nice!
How long have you been staying here?
I belong to this place. I was born here. - Okay.
But what is our small town in comparison to Mumbai?
No headmaster, this is better.
What's so special in Mumbai?
I have a friend in Mumbai. He was not getting married.
When asked why, he said where would they stay after marriage?
So I told him to live with his in-laws.
He replied his father-in-law was already living with his in-laws!
That's true!
Is this the bungalow where I'm going to stay?
Yes. Why? Isn't it good?
Good? I regret that I was not born here!
Greetings. - Greetings.
He is the gardener. - Okay.
Please come. - Why do you address me with so much respect?
You are elder to me.
You're also the father of sister-in-law, Meera.
Come.
Bring the luggage inside.
Freshen up. I'll wait here.
Then we'll go to my house. We'll eat there.
No headmaster, don't worry about me.
My hunger was satiated on beholding your Madhupur.
And I have my cook, Ramjanak Prasad Pandey, with me!
Cook, headmaster asks me to have food at his place.
No sir, I'll cook the meal in no time.
All the grocery is available.
Ask the master to wait here. It will be ready in no time!
No, I'll eat at home.
Take rest. You must be tired.
I'll come by in the evening. - Okay.
Now you are a grown up. People will come to see you.
You're going to get married.
Suppose they don't like me?
Don't talk like that! Why wouldn't they like you?
You've studied up to 10th grade. You're good-looking.
You know the household work.
Suppose I don't like him?
Don't talk rubbish!
Your sister writes that the boy is very good.
You'll be very lucky if you get married to him!
Am I unlucky at the moment?
And she writes that the boy has studied abroad.
His salary is 2000.
I don't want to get married!
I too want to study. BA, MA, LLB.
And I want to study further.
Then I'll ask dad to retire. I'll become the school headmaster.
Get me a pair of spectacles, okay? - Shut up!
You're so talkative!
Okay, I'll not say another word. Look!
Look, remain neat and clean.
Always comb your hair.
Always apply kohl to your eyes.
Always cut your nails. Do not talk while eating.
Always keep your eyes down cast while walking.
Don't laugh loudly. And.. - Shut up!
Stop your chattering!
May god never bless my enemies with such a daughter!
But may god bless everyone with such a mom!
Mom, I'm not your daughter. I'm your son!
Look, your dad has come.
Geeta, get me a glass of water.
The boy is really very nice. - Good.
He is so friendly, cheerful and sweet!
Who would say he has studied abroad?
He's not at all arrogant.
Good. - Give it to me.
Dear, deliver a bouquet from our garden to Mr. Bhaure's house. - Yes.
Have you invited him for the evening?
I forgot to do that.
You never do anything properly.
Dear, you invite him. Okay?
Invite him for tea at our place today evening.
And wear that sari.. - I'll send Deepu.
He'll deliver the bouquet.
No, one should invite a guest personally. You must go!
And wear the sari which was bought on Diwali. Okay?
And don't be naughty over there.
Behave decently in front of the engineer.
He has studied abroad. He's very hot tempered.
Do not climb on the mango trees around the bungalow.
t is a bad thing. - Deepu!
And say good evening as soon as we reach there.
Stand at a distance from him.
If there's something funny,
don't show your teeth and laugh out loudly.
Why? I clean my teeth everyday!
Stupid, not because of teeth!
Its bad manners to laugh before elders.
If there is something funny then smile like this.
Come on.
Deepu, come. Don't laugh.
Are you the gardener's daughter?
I'm the younger daughter of headmaster Pitamber Choudhary.
All right. So sorry!
I thought since you've brought flowers, so maybe..
Come. Sit.
Please come. - Good evening!
Good evening, friend! You also know English!
Would you like tea or something cold?
Tea.
No, we don't want anything.
The answer should've been, get something cold while tea is being made.
Yes, sister!
No!
Why were you moving your arms while pacing?
Me?
I was scaring away the crows by throwing stones!
There are no crows here! - There are no stones either!
I was singing the melody Malkauns.
Actually, I like classical songs.
They contain the art of expressing all sentiments of life very aptly.
For example, take Yaman Kalyan.
When the sun is setting in the evening
the sky turns from blue to orange.
Peace descends everywhere.
The flock of birds returns to their respective nests.
Man returns home after a hard day's work.
This melody captures very well the condition of the mind at that time.
Flat descent and the interplay between
sharp and pure 4th note and the 7th note and..
You don't like music? - Music of your kind?
No.
So what kind of music do you like?
Sister, tell him about that one!
The one you sang to the drum at sister Champa's marriage!
Keep quiet!
Why get annoyed with him?
Are folk songs less enjoyable than the classical ones?
Folk songs carry the subtle fragrance of the earth.
And..
Okay, forget about songs.
Your town is very nice.
I had been to a lake today. Blue Lake.
What peaceful atmosphere! And greenery everywhere!
It seemed as if all the instruments of Puriya Dhaneshri..
What other places are worth visiting here?
The Shiva temple, the hillock of Ram, the Jamuna garden and..
And that banyan tree?
Yes, the Dhauli banyan tree!
It's a 300 year old tree! - Really?
And the guava orchard on the other bank?
Shut up! Is it a place worth visiting?
Is he your younger brother? Please be seated.
He's Deepu. He's our neighbour. - I see.
Which grade are you studying in?
I've passed 3rd grade and now I'm in 4th. - Really?
And you? - I appeared for 10th grade exam.
That's great!
Okay, tell me something.
If someone is dumb and cannot speak and he needs water.
What will he do? - What else?
He'll ask with a gesture.
She's smart.
And if a blind man needs scissors. How will he ask for it?
Why? He's blind not dumb!
He'll directly ask for the scissors, right Deepu?
Deepu, let's go.
The tea! Ramjanak!
We didn't come here for tea.
I had come to deliver the bouquet.
Dad had asked me to give it to you.
You're invited to our house this evening.
For tea. Mom has invited you.
Let's go.
The bouquet is on the chair.
Put it in a flower vase.
Oh yes. Sorry.
Wait!
I didn't ask your name. - Geeta.
And my name is master Deepak Kumar Agnihotri.
Deepak means light. Do you spread light?
Very nice name.
Come on.
Listen friend, just a minute!
You didn't tell me where your house is.
Straight on this main road, the first house on the right is ours.
Okay friend, I'm coming for tea this evening. - Fine.
Have these sweets.
Geeta has also prepared these sweets.
How is it? - Nice, very tasty.
Who else is there in your family? - I'm alone.
My parents died in my childhood. - All right.
You've started drinking the tea already!
Let the guest have tea first.
God knows what he teaches at school! - So what?
No, please have your tea, headmaster.
Anyway, I drink cold tea. - No dear, you have it first.
Okay. - The tea was also made by Geeta.
What happened? Is there less sugar?
Dear, get sugar from the kitchen. - I..
She always adds less sugar.
But.. - I've told her many times.
I may take less sugar but others may not.
It is not that. The sugar..
All right, she has given his cup to you!
He doesn't take sugar at all. The doctor has forbidden it.
Dear, get some sugar in a bowl.
It would've been a big mix up!
You'd have drunk tea with sugar!
You haven't tried this fried snack yet. - No, thanks.
This also was made by Geeta. - Okay.
She makes such tasty snacks!
He thinks you don't know how to make tea.
Add more sugar. - No, I don't want sugar.
Don't feel shy. Add it! - No, this is already extra sweet.
Look at this.
Whole embroidery was done by Geeta.
Really? She's very talented!
Her handiwork is flawless. - Yes.
She's very good in tailoring and knitting.
Do you see that picture? Of that swan!
That also was made by Geeta. - Really?
But mom, it was made by sister Meera!
Keep quiet! What do you know?
Dear, have the betel leaf.
Geeta must have also made these betel leaves!
But why are you telling me all this?
What's the harm in knowing about it?
Geeta has appeared for the 10th grade exams.
Geeta, show him your drawing album. - Let it be, aunt!
I won't get another chance to come here if I see everything today. - No.
Come over whenever you feel like. Consider this as your house.
Aunt, you made Geeta learn so many things but why not singing?
She knows singing!
Yes! I told him many times to buy a harmonium.
But he forgets!
No, it's not like that. Actually I never thought about it.
And Geeta is always busy with her pranks!
She was like that before.
Everyone is naughty as a child.
Mom, may I go to sleep?
Sir, stop working. It's 5 o'clock!
5 o'clock?
Deepu! - Raju!
Good evening, friend! - Good evening.
Wow! Very nice bouquet!
Come. - Hold it.
Oh, I forgot!
Come on.
I'll show you something new.
1, 2, 3!
Harmonium!
What do you say? - What do you mean?
Don't you feel like singing on seeing the harmonium?
Cover it up immediately!
The crows might create a din on listening to its sound!
Aren't you scaring away the crows today?
I'll do it right away, friend!
This crow is called melody Malkauns.
No! Please have pity on the crows!
Where will they live if they have to leave Madhupur?
"O maiden, your town is very lovable."
"I've been besotted on coming here."
"To top it your simple beauty is like the crescent moon."
"O maiden, your town is very lovable."
"I've been besotted on coming here."
"I feel like adorning the peacock with anklets."
"And present ornament of flowers to the singing cuckoo."
"To build their nests here, look, the birds are collecting straws."
"They are collecting straws."
"O maiden, your town is very lovable."
"I've been besotted on coming here."
"Colourful flowers have blossomed."
"People are just like flowers."
"Come here once and you won't feel like leaving."
"The flowing streams capture your imagination."
"Where can you find such things?"
"To top it your simple beauty is like the crescent moon."
"No one accepts a stranger just like that."
"It seems as if I've formed a relation of many lifetimes with you."
"Busy in their work, the people here speak the language of the heart."
"The language of the heart."
"O maiden, your town is very lovable."
"I've been besotted on coming here."
"To top it your simple beauty is like the crescent moon."
Thank god!
Look, your crows are still sitting there.
You'd have cursed me if they had flown away.
Will you teach us how to play harmonium?
Sure but you're second in the queue.
First I'll teach your sister Geeta.
No! I don't want to learn.
Please wait!
Am I not invited to your house for tea? - No.
No problem. I'll come without invitation.
Mom has invited you for dinner. - And what did your dad say?
That we'll go for a walk in the evening.
Headmaster and I?
Deepu, let's go.
Did you write to Meera?
I forgot! Tomorrow I'll surely write.
Who can say, he came here only a few days back?
He seems like one from the family.
A person may be anywhere. Whether alone or with someone.
Whether he is in a forest or in the house.
If he has knowledge of music, he can sing Bhairavi in the morning
Deepak in the afternoon.
And there are many evening songs, for example..
Do housework in the morning. Do your studies, if you are a student.
In the afternoon, cook and wash clothes.
And there's lots of work in the evening!
Like picking flowers, making a bouquet
and coming to the bungalow with Deepu. - What?
Did you like today's song?
That song was nice.
But when do you sing it?
There is no fixed time for such songs.
You can sing it whenever some Geeta is near you. - Gosh!
Is it okay? You may go.
Ramsingh, did you face any problems? - No, sir.
The tyre got punctured twice. - Is it okay now?
It's perfectly all right. - Okay.
Sir, hasn't the senior officer come here?
No, he has gone to Delhi.
Okay. Go, take a rest.
Is there fuel in the jeep? - No, sir.
Okay, I'll get it filled.
I'm leaving now.
Ask Mr. Raman to take care of the rest of the work for today. - Okay, sir.
Geeta, what's going on?
Aunt, the man in the bungalow sings like this.
Keep quiet! Don't you dare imitate him!
Deepu, go home.
Are you out of your mind?
You're mimicking the man you're going to marry!
Deepu asked me to show him how he sings.
Deepu asked you! Are you still a kid?
What can I do if I don't like his singing?
Don't do anything! At least sit quietly for some time!
She has a ready answer for everything!
Sister!
You? Welcome!
Get up. Get fresh.
And change your clothes.
Come. Please be seated.
Would you like tea or something cold?
What do you say, Deepu?
Get something cold while the tea is being made.
What?
No, don't bother. I don't want anything.
Aunt, he has a jeep!
We came in it.
Go, check what Geeta is doing.
The jeep has arrived. - Okay.
So I thought of dropping in. - Okay.
We can go for a ride.
Sure, why not?
Hasn't uncle returned yet?
I met him on the way. He was sitting in the jeep and honking.
I was wondering who it was.
When I turned around, I saw that it was the crow chaser!
And you brought him here!
I didn't bring him. He came on his own.
He said he wanted to meet Geeta.
What is Deepu doing? Deepu!
Why? Do you need anything?
No, just like that.
I'll ask him to teach me driving.
I will drive. - No!
Don't bring him here if you meet him again!
Why? - Why!
Deliver him flowers everyday!
Wash your face if he comes home!
Change the sari! - So what?
I'll learn to drive. You can learn to sing.
Why isn't Geeta coming? - Okay, I'll get her.
Want to listen to a song?
Song? No!
Why? Was the song bad the other day?
You had sung very well that day. Not everyday.
Just wait and watch. You'll also learn to sing very well.
Right, Deepu?
When will you teach me to drive?
This is the hillock of Ram.
When lord Ram had come here during his exile..
I feel like being in exile.
God knows how long I'll have to stay here.
Where will you go from here?
Wherever destiny takes me.
Has destiny brought you here?
Of course! - Sister!
I never knew that in this vast India,
with a population of 550 million
there is a small town, Madhupur.
Pitamber Choudhary is the headmaster of a school in there.
And Geeta, his third daughter, is still unmarried.
Although they've been searching for a groom for her since 3 years.
Do you know they are searching for a groom for me?
No, I don't know. But
am I wrong? - Absolutely wrong!
After all, I have to get married not anyone else.
en you won't get married? - No!
For how long? - As long as I want.
I have just appeared for the 10th grade exams.
I don't know what's going to happen. I'm very scared!
Why are you scared? I'm with you.
What will you do?
Marriage. - Marriage?
Yes. - With whom?
The one who is scared. - Who is scared?
You just said you're scared!
I was talking about the exams.
I've done very badly in math.
I thought you were scared of marriage.
Well, I'm glad to know, you're not scared of marriage.
There's an auspicious day in February. On the 15th!
Is it? - The day is auspicious.
All right. There's still a month and half left.
All arrangements can be made.
Yesterday, he came here casually.
He has got a jeep now.
I was wondering what to do!
And Geeta?
She was sitting in an untidy state!
Uncombed hair and disheveled clothes!
The boy is really very friendly.
Lets fix 15th February as the marriage date.
I'll write to relatives in a couple of days.
Bring some sweets to keep in the house.
Who knows when he may come next time!
We need to offer something.
He doesn't come to eat sweets.
Consider him as your son-in-law now.
Offer him whatever is available.
Offer whatever is available?
Didn't you enjoy my parent's hospitality?
"Come when the lamp is lit."
"Come when the evening falls."
"Come when the lamp is lit."
"Come when the evening falls."
"Do not forget the gesture for meeting."
"Don't forget my love."
"Come when the lamp is lit."
"Come when the evening falls."
"I'll sweep the street with my glance."
"I'll wait for you."
"I'll sweep the street with my glance."
"I'll wait for you."
"Come with the kohl of my love applied in your eyes."
"Come when the lamp is lit."
"Come when the evening falls."
"The place where we had met for the first time."
"The place from where we started to walk together."
"The place where we had met for the first time."
"The place from where we started to walk together."
"Today, on the same riverbank come under the mango tree."
"Come when the lamp is lit."
"Come when the evening falls."
"Everyday they meet mornings and evenings."
"The stars shine on seeing them."
"Everyday they meet mornings and evenings."
"The stars shine on seeing them."
"They take each other's leave"
"saying, please come again."
"Come when the lamp is lit."
"Come when the evening falls."
"Do not forget the gesture for meeting."
"Don't forget my love."
"Come when the lamp is lit."
"Come when the evening falls."
Deepu, do you know I'm going to get married?
With whom?
Who else? With some boy. - No,
uncle Mohan had got married to some girl!
But I'll get married to a boy.
Will there be a wedding procession? - Yes.
Then it will be great fun!
Will the groom ride an elephant or a horse?
He'll be in a jeep.
Aunt!
Aunt, quickly serve food! - Wash your hands first!
What has Geeta cooked today?
Today I have cooked everything.
Deepu, come and have food with us.
No, what if my mom scolds me?
She won't. I'll talk to your mom.
Come on. Sit here.
Aunt, I'll not come tonight. - Why?
There is an inspection at some town named Janakpur. - Okay.
It will be late night while returning. - The food is served.
Deepu, wash your hands.
I've heard there's a fair at Janakpur.
What should I bring from the fair?
Don't fight with me later.
Why would I fight? There's no need to bring anything.
Secretly you want to come along so that you can shop yourself.
As if you can read my mind!
I've been to the fair at Janakpur many times.
I don't want to go!
Very good! I'll also not get time to visit the fair.
By the way, I'll surely bring dry sweets for you.
Shall I bring dry sweets or toffees? - Toffees!
Dry sweets must be your favourite! You're forcing it on us!
Start eating. Is the salt okay?
It's okay. - I'm talking about the vegetable.
Son, you tell me.
Aunt, it must be okay if you've made it.
But please teach your darling daughter how to cook.
She has grown up. In a few days she'll get married.
What would her in-laws think?
Mom look, he's forcing it upon me!
At least I taught you singing.
She should be thankful to me. Instead, she's cursing me!
Yes. - Why should I bother?
When the in-laws taunt you you'll realize I was right.
Greetings.
Sister, a letter for you.
From Mumbai. - It must be from Meera.
Sir, there's also a letter for you. Shall I give it to you?
Yes, give it. - Here.
Geeta, come to my place tomorrow evening. And
make a nice bouquet. Why do you bring same flowers everyday?
If nothing else, practice a new song on the harmonium.
Do you know 4 lessons still remain?
Do you ever remember anything?
The tiffin carrier has been lying at my house since many days!
Take it from Ramjanak this evening.
Bye. - Mom, I'll get the tiffin carrier.
I'll visit Deepu's house while returning.
I haven't been there since many days. May I go? - Okay.
Aunt, I'll come tomorrow night.
Make the same pudding you had made the other day.
Is everything okay?
How is Meera?
Meera is fine but..
What's the matter?
What happened?
Would you please say something?
Meera writes that
the engineer is coming here next Monday.
Earlier he had gone to Delhi due to some work.
What? - Yes.
Geeta writes that Sunil, the engineer, hasn't come here yet.
Then who is this one? - I don't know.
Meera writes that some overseer from the company
must have been sent here.
What are you saying?
Isn't he Sunil Krishna? - I don't know.
Did you ever ask his name?
No.
I'm really fed up with you!
How would I know he's not the same boy?
God knows who he is! Our daughter is going around with him!
Even this boy is nice.
If you say, we can.. - What are you saying?
What are you waiting for?
She has gone to the bungalow. Go, fetch her!
Listen! Don't say anything to the boy.
Quietly bring back Geeta.
Listen! You start off without listening to me completely.
Don't scold the girl in front of him.
I'll explain everything to Geeta.
What are you waiting for? Hurry up!
Okay, I'll sing properly.
"Why should we.." - No, no!
You have learnt it but..
I can't sing any better than this. - Why can't you?
There was a time when there were no horses in the world.
All of them were donkeys.
Then they were trained and made intelligent.
They were turned into horses.
These days, in Mumbai and Kolkatta, there are horse races.
Am I a donkey? Are you trying to turn me into a horse?
Why would you be a donkey?
You are Geeta who knows how to sing very well.
And whom a boy named Vinod.. - Why did you stop?
Shall I say it now? - Say it.
And whom a boy named Vinod.. - Geeta!
Uncle, please come in.
Geeta, come home. Your mom has called you.
I've been asking her to leave but she doesn't listen.
She wants to learn singing.
When did I ask? Liar!
Take this tiffin carrier and get going.
I have to go to the fair at Janakpur.
The fair at Janakpur is not a fair at all!
A gathering of cows and bulls from all over the world!
Geeta!
Tiffin carrier!
Wait, uncle! I'll drop you in my jeep.
No, there's no need. I have some work on the way.
Geeta, let's go.
Geeta! - Yes.
Now there's no need for you to go to that bungalow.
Okay, I won't go.
Did that boy..
Do you know his name?
His name?
Mom, he's so smart!
He asked Deepu's and my name but didn't tell us his!
I'll ask him tomorrow and tell you, okay?
Forget it! There's no need for you to ask him.
Geeta! - Yes.
This boy is not that engineer.
Okay, mom. Go to sleep.
He's not the engineer who was supposed to come here!
Who was supposed to come here?
About whom Meera had written to us!
Then who is he?
Who knows?
He is some overseer.
Meera's letter has arrived.
That engineer is coming on Monday. Day after tomorrow.
That engineer's name is Sunil Krishna.
Meera has written about that boy.
Your dad has also pinned his hopes on him.
All of us want you to get married to a good boy.
So forget whatever has happened.
Don't go there from tomorrow.
No mom, many singing lessons still remain. - What singing?
He's teaching me how to sing! And harmonium too!
There's no need to learn anything.
No, he teaches very well. - No Geeta,
you shouldn't meet him anymore!
Sunil Krishna will be here. What will he think?
When will you grow up?
Do as I say!
Greetings, uncle! - Greetings.
Our engineer is arriving by this train. - Really?
Who have you come to receive? - I..
Uncle, I'm going towards the 1st class. - Okay.
Good evening, sir! - Hello, Vinod!
Did you receive my report? - Yes.
It seems the work is going on satisfactorily. - Yes.
You are.. - This is uncle.
I mean the headmaster, Mr. Choudhary. -
Because of him we've got a 1st class bungalow here.
What are you waiting for? Pick up the luggage.
Uncle, I'll come by in the evening.
Come. - I know the headmaster.
He's the father of Mrs. Meera of Mumbai.
Yes!
Uncle, are you feeling okay?
Sir, look over there. The hillock of Ram.
Lord Ram had stayed here for some days during his exile.
Vinod, be careful! - Okay.
Uncle, where should I drop you? School or your house?
Please come to our house. The journey must've been tiring.
Thank you uncle but it's important to inspect the project today.
Later there will be many occasions to visit your house.
No sir, don't worry about the project.
Work is going on very smoothly over there.
In fact, let's have tea at uncle's house.
Vinod, too much tea is not good. - Why?
You know, tea is a kind of slow poison. It acts like a slow poison!
It acts slowly, right? But who's in a hurry to die?
Let's go. Aunt not only serves tea but also sweets and snacks.
Right, uncle?
No, Vinod. Let's inspect the project today.
Okay, let's go there.
All right, let's first drop uncle home and also meet aunt.
It seems the station is quite far from the town. - Yes.
The station should be near the town.
No sir, the station is in its appropriate place.
It should be near the railway line.
Please come.
Sir, please come.
Geeta's mom.
Sir, this is our aunt. - Greetings.
Are you Sunil? - Yes.
Our Meera's sister-in-law's.. - Yes, I'm her nephew.
Do come in. - Come.
No, not now. I'll come later.
Consider this as your own house.
Come in. - Did you see?
Nowhere will you find another aunt like ours.
Please come. - But..
Aunt, please make all those sweets and snacks that you..
I mean Geeta makes. - Yes, why not? Please come.
Where is Geeta? Geeta!
Aunt, please call Geeta.
A guest has come home. Where is she?
Geeta!
Geeta, this is our engineer, Sunil Krishna.
Greet him!
Greetings. - Hello!
He has studied engineering at Stuttgart, Germany!
He was in Europe for 4-5 years. He is in India since 3 years.
Our executive engineer, in-charge of construction.
And.. - Vinod, are you just going to praise me, or..
This is Geeta.
She has just appeared the 10th grade exams.
Well, her math paper was a bit tough so she's scared she might fail.
Presently she is learning singing.
She's trying to make up for the weakness in math through singing,
to get a good groom..
Is that why I'm learning to sing?
Mom, heard that? - Keep quiet!
But her singing is as bad as her math.
But it's a different matter if I pass her.
I'm glad to meet all of you.
Mrs. Meera had told me about you.
How would sister Meera know my math paper was tough?
Not about your paper but about this place.
Madhupur, you and your parents.
Vinod, let's go. We'll come in the evening.
Look, our engineer has come from abroad.
Aunt, unless you invite him for tea twice right now,
he'll leave without having tea!
It's just an excuse to come in the evening.
Am I right, sir? - No, it's not that.
Please be seated. Have tea and then leave.
You didn't even ask him to sit.
Sir, please be seated.
Geeta, sit here. I'll just be back.
Why did you bring Vinod here? - What could I do?
He came along.
Sir, according to me the whole family is nice.
And Geeta is just like a child.
Same from inside and outside.
If she gets angry, she'll shout at you and she laughs wholeheartedly!
And she's naughtier than Deepu.
She fights even for a small piece of tamarind!
I found her very quiet and composed.
Only in front of you because you too are quiet and composed.
Wait for a couple of days. She'll run away with your glasses!
She mimics me! The way I sing.
However she is. I liked her.
Me too.
I'll not do it. - Just deliver it!
Don't be stubborn. What will Sunil think?
I made the bouquet because you asked me to.
I don't like to deliver the bouquet everyday.
How many times have you delivered it to Sunil?
I had given it to Vinod.
Vinod and Sunil are not the same! - I'll not go.
Okay, Deepu will hold the bouquet and you go along with him.
Sister, come on. We'll give the bouquet to brother Vinod. - Shut up!
Give the bouquet to Sunil!
Deepu, let's go.
Invite him for tea this evening.
Talk decently to him!
Don't look gloomy!
Raju!
There's nobody around!
Hello!
Good evening! - Good evening, young man!
How lovely!
Deepu, let's go. - Please have a seat.
Where is brother Vinod? - Why?
Is he your friend? - Yes.
He teaches me how to drive the jeep.
I'll also teach you.
Do you know it? - Why not?
And playing the harmonium? - Only your brother Vinod knows how to play.
Sister, learn it from brother Vinod.
Do you really like singing?
Why don't you sit? Please be seated.
No, I have to go.
Won't you invite him for tea?
Come to our house in the evening. For tea.
Mom has invited you.
And bring brother Vinod with you.
Where are you going? Let me drop you.
Will you take us in the jeep?
No, your brother Vinod has taken the jeep.
Sister, let's go.
Who made this bouquet? - Sister Geeta made it.
Do you know in Düsseldorf, it's in Germany
there are very big flowers.
And each bouquet is three times bigger.
"Come when the lamp is lit."
"Come when the evening falls."
"Don't forget the gesture for meeting."
"Don't forget my love."
"Come when the lamp is lit."
Why are you bothering? We'll go by ourselves.
Come home in the evening.
Brother Vinod is very nice, isn't he?
He also sings.
And he talks so nicely, doesn't he?
Do you also like Vinod? - Yes!
Vinod, you're back?
Hello, sir!
Sir, do you need the jeep? - No.
Ramsingh, park the jeep and
come tomorrow morning at 9. - Okay, sir.
Sir, please come.
Was Geeta here? - Yes.
But how did you know?
This bouquet is from her garden.
Have you finished today's work? - Yes, sir.
The plinth work is complete.
The allotment of cement has also arrived.
Was Deepu with her? - Yes.
What about the tender for labour?
All the tenders have been received.
Sir, I think the work should be entrusted to Banwari.
He is experienced.
And he has already supplied labour to several government projects.
Had you gone to Geeta's house?
No, I left her half way to her house. - Okay.
Geeta seemed somewhat preoccupied.
Yes because she has done badly in her math paper,
she's worried that she might fail.
Mr. Mishra from PWD was supposed to come.
Yes. I met Mr. Mishra.
But he's totally against Banwarilal.
He said he'll supply 100 men and claim the bill for 300.
How much can you deduct from 300? At the most 100.
We'll still have to bear the loss for 100.
Geeta must've invited you for tea in the evening.
Yes, she has invited me.
Didn't I tell you? They keep inviting you every now and then.
Then we'll surely go
And sir, if we stay a little longer, we'll also be served dinner.
By the way, aunt is a better cook than Ramjanak.
What was Mr. Mishra's opinion?
Should we award the contract to someone else?
Yes. For him Dhvajadhari Singh is whole and sole.
Dhvajadhari Singh!
By name, it would seem he's some tall and heavily built wrestler.
But actually, he's very thin and less than 5 feet tall.
His shirt, pants and bed sheet are dirty
and the man himself is also dirty!
Shall I tell Ramjanak not to cook dinner?
Vinod, do you really sing very well?
Why? Did Geeta say that?
Not Geeta but Deepu said so.
Sir, I'll have a bath. - Okay.
Mr. Choudhary has organized a nice dinner to welcome the engineer.
Yes, that's right.
The food was very tasty.
I have overeaten today.
Vinod, we've eaten so much at Mr. Choudhary's house. - Yes.
We should do something in return. - Why not?
Why not invite them to our place tomorrow?
Ramjanak's cooking is also equally good.
That we'll certainly do but your singing is well appreciated here.
If possible.. - Why not?
Let's do one thing.
Geeta! - Yes?
Today is your test.
Come on. Be prepared.
Sir, we'll get the harmonium from the bungalow.
Uncle, just listen how well Geeta sings!
You'll be amazed!
We'll keep the harmonium here. Would you please..
Deepu, come here.
"If you match your notes."
"If you match your notes with mine."
"And sing with me."
"Then my life will become rewarding."
"If you reside in."
"If you reside in my heart."
"And accept it."
"Then my worship will become rewarding."
"If you match your notes."
"In the moonlit nights."
"With hands intertwined."
"In the moonlit nights."
"With hands intertwined."
"May we remain immersed"
"in each other's charming talks."
"With me, if you."
"With me, if you smile and hum."
"Then my life will become rewarding."
"If you reside in."
"If you reside in my heart."
"And accept it."
"Then my worship will become rewarding."
"If you match your notes."
"Why should we look at the spring?"
"To borrow happiness?"
"Why should we look at the spring?"
"To borrow happiness?"
"Why don't we together make an effort to improve our lives?"
"In my path, if you."
"In my path, if you light a lamp."
"There will be light."
"Then my worship will become rewarding."
"If you match your notes with mine."
"And sing with me."
"Then my life will become rewarding."
"If you match your notes with mine."
Shameless! He comes over whenever he wants!
Hello!
Do come in.
It's you? Please come in.
I just dropped by.
Yes, drop in whenever you feel like.
I'll call Vinod over. He must be back from work.
Why do you bother? He'll come over if he feels like.
Please be seated.
Have this snack. Geeta has made it.
Mom, I'm going to the market.
Wait now!
There's a guest in the house and you're going out!
You can go later.
Wait for a while. I too have to go.
I'll drop her at the market.
Yes!
Have you ever been to Mumbai to visit sister Meera?
No.
You must be writing to her.
Yes, sometimes.
She had asked me to write to her on reaching Madhupur.
What shall I write to her?
Tell her we are fine here.
That I will surely write but along with that
I'll also have to write whether you are agreeable or not.
Do you know what Mrs. Meera has written regarding you and me?
What is your reply?
Okay. I'm in no hurry.
Tell me some other time.
Okay, let's go out on a picnic this Sunday.
You can tell me there.
Okay?
Greetings, sir. - Greetings, Ramsingh.
I have some work. I'm going out.
If boss comes, take him to the site. - Okay.
If he asks for me, tell him I'll reach there directly.
Okay? - Okay, sir.
Aunt!
You stay here!
Greetings, aunt! - What do you want?
What have you cooked today?
What's the matter? Nobody seems to be around.
Where is the headmaster?
And where is Geeta? I haven't met her since two days!
Headmaster has gone to school and Geeta has gone with him.
Okay, then I'll leave.
Vinod, wait! I have to tell you something important.
Tell me when I come in the evening.
Don't come in the evening. We're going out.
Okay, aunt. I'll come at night.
But right now I'm in a hurry.
Greetings, uncle!
I have to go out. Did you need something?
No, nothing special. Please be seated.
Since two days, Geeta has not come to learn singing.
She has lost concentration.
Where is she?
Geeta? She must be at home.
But aunt said she had come to school with you.
She was supposed to come but..
I understood. - What did you understand?
I know. - What do you know?
Where Geeta could be. I'm going there.
Mr. Chaubey, you may go now. We'll check tomorrow.
Tomorrow I have to go to a party.
Really? We'll check the day after.
Okay.
Friend!
What? - Where is your sister Geeta?
How would I know?
She doesn't even play with me now.
She used to tie the thread to my kite.
Now she doesn't do it! - Why?
She's getting married.
Who told you she's getting married?
I know. Aunt told my mom.
Yes, she's right.
Okay, do one thing. I'll give you a note.
Give it to Geeta.
Don't show it to anyone else. - Okay.
Geeta, I searched for you all day. Where are you hiding?
I'm going to work now.
Meet me this evening.
Even if you don't meet Deepu. Make any excuse!
Together we'll go out. We have yet to visit the river.
There we'll finish the song which was left incomplete.
Make sure to come.
Sister Geeta, what is written in it?
He has written the song is incomplete. We have to complete it.
Geeta!
Put away these clothes.
Deepu, you can go. I'm going to take a bath.
Okay.
"Everyday, we meet mornings and evenings."
"The stars shine on seeing them."
Sir, did you call me?
Yes, Vinod. You'll have to go to Mumbai.
There's an important meeting regarding the bridge on River Savitri.
I think you should go.
Sir, I'm ready to go. When do I start?
The meeting is on Wednesday but you have to go some days earlier.
For the briefing.
I'll go on Monday.
Vinod, what's your opinion about Geeta?
She's a nice girl. Very nice.
You come across very few girls like her.
Her parents are worried about her marriage.
Yes, I know.
Perhaps they have found a boy.
Do you know the boy?
Why are you asking me?
Let's go for a picnic this Sunday. - Okay.
You, me and Geeta.
Excellent! Sir, you think long term.
I'll cook the food. Just wait and watch what I can make!
You are a sentimental singer.
The curry will get burnt if you get lost in some melody!
So we'll take along Ramjanak and Ganpat.
No sir, all the fun of the picnic will be lost.
The fun of a picnic is in personally doing all the work.
Geeta, please sing. Now you know how to sing.
I don't know.
No brother Vinod! These days, sister Geeta sings very well.
Please, do sing.
"Until now. More than ever."
"I've never experienced such happiness before."
"So beautiful and so sweet."
"A moment had never come."
"Until now."
"Call it coincidence or destiny"
"the way we met unexpectedly."
"Call it coincidence or destiny"
"the way we met unexpectedly."
"Look, how our faces are glowing"
"on finding desirable companions!"
"A link which connects our destinies"
"was not found until now."
"Until now."
Sir, what's the need to drive so fast?
Vinod, I have never accepted defeat in my life.
And that too, from a car that is overtaking in the wrong way!
That's the spirit, sir!
"May the dream we had dreamt of come true!"
"This is the prayer in my heart."
"May the dream we had dreamt of come true!"
"This is the prayer in my heart."
"These moments that are passing by"
"my heart is singing in their intoxication."
"We were searching for this happiness."
"Which we had not found until now."
"Until now."
Why didn't you sing?
You'll never be able to sing well if you keep quiet like this.
Don't blame me later.
I forgot to tell you one thing.
Congratulations!
I've heard you're going to get married soon!
Don't act as if you don't know anything!
I know girls very well.
They start thinking about marriage as soon as they turn 13 or 14!
Tell me something.
When should I take leave for marriage?
You cut your finger!
I had told you, girls cannot cook!
But you insisted on doing it.
Forget it! You want to get married!
It's just a small cut. And I'm not getting married!
Yes, everyone says so in the beginning!
All right I'll take leave in October.
Total 50 days leave including Dussera holidays.
Just two months are remaining until Dussera.
By then our work at the bridge will be finished.
Where is Deepu? They should've been back by now.
Tell me what gift do you want from me for the marriage?
Nothing. - Don't be so modest!
It looks deceiving!
Whether a girl is illiterate or postgraduate
she'd definitely want gold jewelry and expensive saris!
But I'm not a rich man.
Don't ask for something which is beyond my means.
Where is Deepu?
He stopped back there. He is plucking something from the tree.
What was so funny? Tell me too.
You know everything. Geeta is going to get married.
So I asked her what present she wants.
I'll fetch Deepu.
I have noticed that Geeta has become shy.
She just ran away!
Sir, please be seated.
We have already cut potatoes and lady's-finger.
Tomatoes and cabbage are left.
Vinod, how about some tea? - You've read my mind!
Sister, look at this! It is nice, isn't it?
Why don't you eat it?
Deepu, let's go away from here.
Right now? The picnic will be over in the evening!
What will we do at the picnic?
Come on. I'm feeling uncomfortable.
Eat the tamarind. You'll feel better.
Sister, look there! 4 big pods of tamarind hanging together!
I threw many stones but couldn't hit it.
Why don't you try?
Take this.
Look there! There are 2 more!
Vinod, have you met Mrs. Meera in Mumbai?
She's Geeta's elder sister.
Yes, I had gone there with you once.
Mrs. Meera has been after me since a while now.
She wants me to marry Geeta.
But I told her I can't decide without meeting the girl.
Marriage is a serious matter.
That's why I'm here. To meet Geeta.
Vinod, the curry must be ready.
What's your opinion? Should I marry Geeta?
What can I say?
I have to decide at this picnic. What's your opinion?
Sir, it's a personal matter.
What would you do if you were in my place?
Sir, congratulations on your marriage!
Thank you!
But that's not an answer to my question.
What would you do if you were in my place?
If I were in your place,
I wouldn't have hurt someone's love by asking his opinion.
But I have not..
What's the need to ask someone's opinion
regarding a nice girl like Geeta?
If I were you, I would've married without hesitation.
Vinod, you have strengthened my resolution.
You'll be my special man in our marriage.
My best man!
And you'll make all arrangements for the marriage.
You were praising your cooking skills so much!
You have forgotten to add salt in the curry!
There are no tomatoes in the vegetable curry!
The toasts are not done properly!
Sir, I'll treat you some other day. Today I really messed up.
And sister has not eaten anything!
Deepu, let's go.
Now?
We haven't even seen anything yet. - Where else do you want to go?
That hillock, from where you get a view of whole Madhupur!
And that maze! There are many trees.
And it's great fun in passing through the maze! Let's go!
Deepu, I'll catch you!
Where will you go? I'll catch you now!
Got you!
Did they mistake me for the engineer?
Yes.
Geeta, please forgive me. I made a mistake.
What mistake?
I'll also apologize to your parents.
How would they have known I'm an ordinary overseer?
We were together for only a few days.
Geeta, misunderstandings of a few days are unimportant.
You and I can easily forget everything.
As if we had never met.
And
believe me Geeta, I'm very happy
that you'll have a more mature and better life partner.
Catch me now! - Deepu, I'll catch you!
Catch me!
Caught you! - Enough! No more!
Listen!
Now tell me what your answer is.
I know your answer is affirmative.
Still I want to hear it from you.
It seems you're too shy to say it.
And silence does mean a positive reply.
All right, tonight I'll write to Mrs. Meera.
Vinod also wants that.
According to him I'll not find such a nice girl very easily.
Vinod, please sing a song. You were singing happily while going.
Yes brother Vinod please sing.
"Turmoil in my heart and a song on my lips."
"And tears of joy in my eyes."
"Turmoil in my heart and a song on my lips."
"And tears of joy in my eyes."
"Despite being with the dear ones"
"I'm still far away from them."
"May this never happen to anyone!"
"No one should say that the destination."
"No one should say that I've reached the destination."
"I have not reached there until now."
"Until now. More than ever."
"I've never experienced such happiness before."
"Until now."
Mr. Choudhary, from my side the reply is positive.
Mrs. Meera will take care of everything else.
Shall I write to Meera? - Yes, why not?
I'll also write to her.
We had fixed 15th February as the marriage date..
It is okay.
If it's unsuitable.. - Ask Mrs. Meera about all that.
Okay.
Then 15th February is the date for marriage.
We'll call a priest and fix a date for engagement.
He'll inform you.
Yes. - Is it okay?
As you wish.
Bless you!
You are very lucky! Sunil has agreed to marry you!
How are we going to handle everything in so little time?
A bouquet.. Forget it!
And this..
Mom, whose letter is it?
Your aunt Geeta is marrying our Sunil!
Day after tomorrow, all of us will go to Madhupur.
They are getting engaged. - Okay.
Do you think we are your enemies out to ruin your life?
Even your two sisters didn't get such a good match.
Don't be a fool.
Get up and get ready.
It's only an hour before the engagement ceremony starts.
No
Go, my dear. Don't be disheartened.
Everything god does is right.
Go change your clothes and get ready.
Go on. Yes.
No, Vinod. It's not that important for you to go.
I can send someone else.
Raman can go.
No, sir. You know the meeting is very important and
since you are not going, I have to go.
And it's a matter of only a week.
Today Geeta and I are getting engaged.
All of us will be so happy if you attend it.
Are you just my junior and nothing else?
No sir, it's not that. You are everything to me.
You're not only my chief but you're like my parents
my guardian and my everything.
Sir, wait and watch what I do on your wedding!
I'll take all the responsibility!
But sir, please let me go today.
Greetings, uncle. - Greetings.
Come, Mr. Choudhary.
What's going on?
Vinod is leaving today.
Leaving?
Deepu, let's go.
Where are you going? - Station!
You shouldn't get out of the house. It's your engagement today.
I know, mom. But Vinod is leaving.
Let him go if he wants to. Why do we care?
No mom,
your youngest daughter will marry Vinod!
Who said so?
I have decided. - What?
Geeta, don't be silly!
What is Vinod as compared to Sunil? An ordinary overseer!
Sister, I am not a toy to be played with.
It's a question of your marriage.
You may have to repent for the rest of your life!
It was god's will.
Else Vinod would not have arrived instead of Sunil.
So what? - What was meant to happen has happened!
Where is my husband?
Geeta, please don't do this!
We'll lose self-respect because of this.
What will Sunil think?
Deepu, let's go.
Deepu!
Deepu, don't cry.
Come on.
Brother Vinod!
Uncle and Mr. Sunil stopped me. Didn't allow me to leave.
Son, who are we to stop you?
It was god's will.
Right?
Vinod, I did not stop you.
If anybody has stopped you then it's Geeta.
You had given up!
But Geeta's determination, self-confidence
and true love won in the end.
You need a life partner like Geeta.
That's enough!
Where is the priest? Priest!
Priest, tell us what to do.
I'm Vinod's chief, mom-dad, guardian and his everything.
