'Could Your devotee never face any difficulty?'
'You are our saviour and our guardian.'
'This story could be from any place..'
'..where people work hard.'
'This is the story of a city where..'
'..a person supports another person.'
'And this is the way they take them to their destinations.'
Lazy bones. Work properly. Can't you hear me?
Keep it there. Kali, hurry up. Keep it there.
Are you blind?
How dare you! - Sir, please don't hit me.
You scoundrel! Fool!
Are you a human being or a beast?
Stop joking. Let go of the stick.
What are you doing? Don't beat him.
Let him go. Leave my son.
Okay, sir. - Oh God!
What a nuisance.
You work in my factory, yet you hit my son!
Shut up.
I didn't beat him. He made me beat him.
Look at his condition.
When this man was carrying a heavy load..
..your loving son ran into him and did that.
Shut up! There is no need to argue with him, Father.
Hand him over to the police. - Get lost!
Call the police. I'll tell them how you've beaten him.
Your son will get in trouble if he calls the police. - Quiet.
Do you want to get in trouble by calling the police?
You're dismissed from today.
Who are you to dismiss me?
I dismiss you for being my boss.
Listen to me, take him to the hospital.
Or I'll send both of you to the hospital.
You're nothing.
Hail Lord Shiva.
Hail Goddess Lakshmi.
Hail Goddess Kali.
Bless everybody. Be kind.
Move out of my way. - What did you say?
Nothing, I was talking to myself.
Shambunath has gone crazy.
I wonder whom he has befriended.
Babu, leave him and come here.
Haven't you returned early from work today?
I've quit my job.
What do you mean? - It means I've quit the job.
Why? - I didn't like the owner's son's behavior.
Was there a fight?
I consider my colleagues and me as equals.
I don't care for a job where people get humiliated.
I've haven't taken my wages for today either.
Okay, let it be. First, freshen up and eat something.
I don't have the money for food.
What are you saying, Babu? Who asked you for money?
Uncle Shambu, you've supported me a lot.
You've given me a place to live in the hotel.
And most importantly, you have a soft corner for me.
Keep quiet.
And you know my rule about food.
I'll not eat anything until I have earned it myself.
Even if I'm dying.
Don't act stubborn, Babu.
Eat something. Don't worry about the job.
By God's grace, you'll definitely get some work.
Just pray to God.
Uncle Shambu!
I don't need to beg..
..as long as I have the strength to work.
There is no need to beg to God.
It's great that people like you..
..are kind to people like me.
Old man. Go fast.
The train will have arrived. Hurry up.
Okay, sir. Okay.
You're going to get us killed.
It would've been better to walk. Go.
Go.
I don't understand this.
He's old, yet he's pulling the rickshaw.
What can the poor man do?
A person is cremated after death.
But before that his hunger gets him.
Enough. Don't lecture me.
We've to reach the station early.
Wait a minute. Get aside, Uncle.
Who jinxed us, friend? We're in a fix.
Come here, Uncle.
Rest for a while. Sit.
There'll be no food today.
Don't worry, Uncle. I'll pull your rickshaw from today.
We'll share the earnings equally.
Son. - What's your name?
Hurry up. - Ramu.
Uncle, Ramu. What is the fare for these passengers?
Rs.3. - Rs.3?
Even though they're as fat as elephants.
You should've asked them for double the fare.
Make it fast. - Stop it.
Uncle, sit here.
I'll come back after dropping them off at the station.
Make it quick. We might miss the train.
Don't worry.
I won't let you miss the train at any cost.
Oh you, what are you doing?
It's too heavy. I'll have to learn.
Pull properly. - Come on.
Where are you going? This is my rickshaw.
Wait. Stop. Catch him. Thief. Police.
Why are you shouting, sir?
Well. It's my rickshaw so why wouldn't I shout?
Is this your rickshaw? - Yes.
I'm very sure this is my rickshaw.
These broken wheels, these old covers, the torn seat.
I've rented out this rickshaw to Ramu.
How did you get it?
If you talk more, I'll thrash you.
Uncle Ramu is ill. So I'm pulling rickshaw for him.
I need work and Uncle Ramu wants money.
Now we both share this rickshaw.
You're great. You're fooling me.
The rickshaw is mine, but both of you are partners.
Sir, do you want rent?
So you'll get Rs.10 each day.
Rs.10 was a long time back.
I won't take less than Rs.25 now.
25! - Look at the miser.
Not even the junk-seller would buy it for Rs.25.
Take your rickshaw.
Dear, you're angry? I was just joking.
Okay, pay me Rs.10.
But give me Rs.10 each day in the evening.
"Rs.10 in the evening?"
Sir, I thought only the poor beg out of helplessness.
But I didn't know rich people like you beg too.
You can call me a beggar, a rogue or a miser or whatever.
But pay me the rent in the evening.
Or I won't be able to sleep.
Where did this fellow go?
You fool. Pay me my money.
I'll be ruined.
Well done, boy.
You're the first rickshaw-puller I met who talks honestly.
What's your name?
Babu. - Babu.
It's a nice name.
I'm Gullu.
He's Daadu. - Greetings.
He's Motu and he's Cheel.
Mr. Gullu, I hope you don't mind my coming here.
What are you saying?
It's our good fortune to have a brave person..
..like you in our gang.
What did you say? - Yes.
Who is he?
Chaggu. - Not Chaggu. He's Jaggu.
Does he pull the rickshaw too?
He's not into that. But he has many other activities.
He sells liquor.
He gambles too.
And I would be ashamed to tell about the other things he does.
What is it, fatty? Do you have a problem?
Should I get rid of your problem?
Why do you get angry, sir Jaggu?
I was praising you.
Did you bring something? - Shut up.
Jaggu has come to do his work.
Oh.
My darling Kammu is here. I am done for.
Kammu, why are you late in delivering the lunchboxes today?
She has adorned herself so nicely.
It takes time to deck up. - Move away, you hideous man.
What's wrong with my face, Kammu?
Take your stick back.
What if I don't? - Then?
How dare you? I'll not spare you today. - Leave me.
Aren't you ashamed to raise your hand on a woman?
Do you know that I'm Jaggu?
Ramu and Kalu, bring me my knife.
Leave him alone.
Thrash him.
One tea, please.
Scoundrel.
96.
97.
98.
99.
Forgive us, sir, we won't err.
Forgive us, sir. It was our mistake.
Shut up!
Greetings, Constable. - Greetings. What's the matter?
I've come to inform you about a case. Yes.
That rickshaw over there?
Under the seat of that rickshaw..
The person who was drinking tea over there sells this.
Catch him. Fast.
Rickshaw. Stop.
Hey you, open it up.
I can find out everything easily.
Got it? Move aside. Open this.
Open it up. - Constable.
What could be in it? It's my treasure. - Come on.
Look. It's a mug. It's a plate meant for eating. - Yes.
This is a glass and this is my..
This is a liquor bottle.
Are you a liquor bootlegger?
On top of that, you're lying. - But I don't sell it.
Come to the police station. I don't want to hear anything.
Scoundrel, you are here. - You fool.
I won't spare you today.
I will beat you to pulp. What do you think of yourself?
Who are you? - Ask him who am I.
He married me seven years ago.
And now, he's running away from me.
What rubbish are you talking? - Keep quiet.
Constable, my three children are starving since days.
And the fourth one is suffering with a fever.
And the fifth one is waiting to be born.
And he's been missing since six days.
God knows with whom he's been staying.
Give me your stick, sir. - No.
I can't give you my stick. It's against the law.
No. - Constable.
Constable, are you hurt?
Take your stick back.
Foolish rickshaw-puller
why do you loiter around..
..when you have such a beautiful and intelligent wife?
If I had such a beautiful wife..
..I wouldn't have stepped out of my house.
Constable..
..marry her if she's beautiful and intelligent.
I'll divorce her.
But after that, she'll make you go insane.
And then you'll become an actor instead of a Constable.
What are you saying? - Constable.
What's a wife's duty..
..when her husband returns home tired from work?
She has to talk nicely to him and entertain him.
She has to massage his legs too.
But she only talks about money.
He's a big liar.
He spends his entire earnings on his mistresses..
..and starves his wife and children.
I've understood where you get the money for enjoying yourself.
Yes. - You bootleg this illicit liquor and earn money.
This illicit liquor? - Yes.
If this fool had some brains..
..he would've become rich long back.
And I would've been driving a car.
This isn't liquor.
It's water, which I had kept in his rickshaw six days ago.
I'm very thirsty.
Was that water?
It's good I didn't take him to the police station.
Or I would've been embarrassed.
Are you watching a play? Go.
Go away.
Oh...
It's very hot.
Get me an ice-cream.
Ice-cream? That's okay.
But how did this water-bottle land in my rickshaw?
Stupid.
This isn't water. It's liquor. - Liquor?
Yes.
Jaggu kept this bottle..
..in your rickshaw to get even with you.
Is it? - And I was watching everything happen.
Did you drink the entire liquor?
Yes.
Not just liquor, I can even drink poison for you.
I like you a lot.
Do you really like me?
Buy me an ice-cream. - Ice-cream? Yes.
Who's playing the clarinets?
From the temple, somebody is getting married.
No. No. - No. No.
Not someone else, we are getting married.
We? - Yes.
Now the marriage is done.
At least get me an ice-cream on the first night.
Kammu.
"I was single and beautiful. I was going somewhere alone."
"You've enticed me, dear."
"Oh, heartless lover."
"You were proud of your beauty."
"You were arrogant of your youth."
"You were proud of your beauty."
"You were arrogant of your youth."
"My adornments aren't for anyone else, dear."
"You've enticed me, dear."
"Oh, heartless lover."
"My heart is filled with passion."
"Dear, this is one of your charms."
"My heart is filled with passion."
"Dear, this is one of your charms."
"I won't relent unless you hold my hands."
"You've enticed me, dear."
"Oh, heartless lover."
"I'm single and beautiful. I was going somewhere alone."
"You've enticed me, dear."
"Oh, heartless lover."
Don't be afraid. Hold the steering wheel properly. - Yes.
Hold it properly. - I'm holding it properly.
Move your leg from the clutch. - Yes.
What are you doing? Look ahead.
Donkey. - What?
There is a donkey walking on the road.
If not on the road, will it walk on my head?
Shut up. You always laugh. - Mother.
Oh, my leg. - Sorry. Forgive me.
Nobody can learn driving like this. The car will get damaged.
I have told you that I don't want to learn driving.
Come on. Get down.
Dear, can you really repair the car? - Shut up.
Pinky.
What is it?
Push it.
Why do you talk like that?
You're humiliating me publicly. I won't push.
Go on, dear.
I'm going.
Okay. Go. - I'm in trouble.
Oh no. - Push hard.
I'm pushing. What more can I do? - Use more strength.
I'm getting tired.
Don't get angry, sir.
You both are pushing in opposite directions.
How will the car move then?
Okay, push this way.
Where? - Turn around and push it.
From this side? - Yes.
Okay, dear, from this side.
From this side..
There is no chance at all, sir.
Listen. Inform the garage.
The mechanic will come to repair it.
If you're in a hurry, my rickshaw is ready.
Rickshaw. - Yes.
Father, we'll go in a rickshaw.
Come, Father. Come, Mother. - Yes.
Come on, Father. Come on, Mother.
Pinky. - Come, Mother.
Come, sir.
I won't go in the rickshaw.
One person sits and the other one pulls it.
This is injustice. It's inhumane.
Sir, don't say that. It'll make us jobless.
Sir, it's going to rain.
If the girl gets drenched, she'll catch a cold.
He's right. - Yes.
Let's go in the rickshaw. - Yes.
Sit inside it. I'll walk. - Come, mom.
Walk? - Yes.
I like you very much. - You mean..
I mean, I like you.
Sir, so same to you too in English.
I like you. - Let's go.
Make it quick, sir. It's going to rain.
Mother.
Get down.
Pinky, you're drenched.
Oh no.
You said we shouldn't get drenched.
But why did you get drenched?
Don't worry about us, child. We're rickshaw-pullers.
What are you teaching my daughter?
Such words have a bad effect on children.
Every profession is noble. Every work is great.
Right?
It's strange, sir.
You're rich but you don't talk like the rich.
There is no need for praise.
Take your fare. - Rs.10?
It's only Rs. 3, sir.
I'll pay Rs. 10 - I'll not take more than three.
Now don't argue and take it.
No.
Take it.
Wait.
The shopkeeper had said that its colour would get faded.
But he didn't say it would get damaged.
Its okay, sir. I'll get it stitched.
Take this.
No, ma'am. I don't take anything from others.
Tell him to take it. - Take it, rickshaw-puller.
Why are you insisting?
Didn't I tell you I don't take anything from others?
I don't beg from others.
This isn't alms. We're giving it to you since we have it.
We're giving it out of love. Take this.
You're just like my brother.
What? - It means you're like my brother.
Sir. - Now wear it.
I'll make you wear it.
Give it to me, Dad. Come on. - No, no.
What are you doing? - You have to wear it.
Okay. - Wear it.
Wear it. - Give it to me.
Okay. Go.
Food is ready, sir. Should I serve you?
We'll eat later. Give it to the baby.
Okay, sir.
Father, look at him.
Watch how he's dressed!
He looks so funny.
Right? - Yes.
What's your name? - Babu.
And yours? - Pinky.
Pinky?
That's a very sweet name.
Do you go to school?
You don't have to be so formal with her.
She's younger than you. Call her by her name.
Correct.
Babu, call her by her name.
Do you go to school, Pinky?
Yes, I'm in primary school.
Next year I'll attend the convent school.
Okay. From next year I'll take Pinky to the school.
When Pinky sits in my rickshaw, it runs fast.
And then I shout at others asking them to move aside.
Move aside. My Pinky is coming through.
Madam, I've brought food for the baby.
Okay, sir. Bye. See you later.
Where are you going?
Ramu. - Yes.
Bring food for him too. - Okay, madam.
Sit outside.
Ramu, he'll eat the food here.
Will he eat here?
No, sir. Don't be troubled.
I'm not hungry.
Who are you to interfere?
Ramu, bring the food.
Go and sit there. Come.
No, sir. I'll eat here.
Father, can I eat here too? - Sure, child.
Mother, bring the food.
Take this.
Ramu, give it to me. I'll serve him. Go on.
Have it, Babu.
Have it.
Forgive me, sir.
The child has eaten the curry from my plate.
So what?
Did you see the miracle, Parvati?
Our daughter would eat only..
..sugar and yoghurt with bread.
And today she's eating curry.
What happened, Babu?
It's the day of the festival. What are you doing?
Uncle Juman is ill.
That's why I'm doing his work.
Will you work for others the entire day..
..or will you help your kin too?
Leave it and come along.
Go away.
Or I'll colour you instead of your dress.
Is it?
"Oh, dear. Colour me with your love."
"And make me yours forever."
"Oh, dear. Colour me with your love."
"And make me yours forever."
"I'm still single."
"Oh, dear. Colour me with your love."
"And make me yours forever."
"Oh, dear. Colour me with your love."
"And make me yours forever."
"I'm still single."
"My skirt is made of velvet. And my blouse is made of silk."
"Someone has fallen for me."
"Someone has become crazy about me."
"Your beauty will get you in trouble if you come near me."
"Oh, dear. Colour me with your love."
"And make me yours forever."
"Oh, dear. Colour me with your love."
"And make me yours forever."
"I'm still single."
"I'm afraid that your charm.."
"..may take you away from me."
"Oh, dear. Don't ever say that again."
"I didn't like it."
"Oh, dear. Colour me with your love."
"And make me yours forever."
"I'm still single."
"Oh, dear. Colour me with your love."
"And make me yours forever."
"I'm still single."
No.
The court sentences the culprit to two years..
..of rigorous imprisonment under the penal act..
..after considering the circumstances of the murder.
Now I don't even remember the number..
..of days and night I've spent in jail.
'My mind has become captive too..'
'..along with my body in this jail.'
'When will the day come when I too..'
'..will become free like those birds?'
'When?'
I give an interest of Rs.0.10 on Rs.1 per day.
This was the amount given to Mr. Chatterjee.
It's Rs.300, but his wife..
Fool. Why are you staring at that girl?
If you act so cheaply in the shop..
..customers come here.
This is my hotel. It's not your shop.
Brother, I'm a mobile-shop.
Then keep moving. Go away.
Shambunath, don't push me, okay? I'm going.
A decent guy like me doesn't deserve to be your friend.
Babu, who's a thief and a cheat, deserves to be your friend.
Babu would've killed you and taken your money.
But you're lucky. He has killed somebody else.
He must be serving rigorous punishment now.
What happened to you?
Babu?
Run from here!
Babu.
You've become very weak.
I'm weak both mentally and physically.
It's okay. Come and have some food.
Come on.
Uncle Shambu, your love for me is still the same.
It hasn't changed at all.
But the world will never forgive me.
Who will hire a man who was in jail?
You don't need to work, Babu.
I don't like to eat for free either.
I know very well about your dignity.
Come with me. Come.
Come.
Look at this.
This?
This rickshaw is for you.
This is new.
It's delicate like a new-born baby.
And also beautiful.
This one is for you, Babu.
Okay, I'll ride it and earn money for you.
There is no need to give me the money.
This is your rickshaw. You're its owner.
Yes.
No. This rickshaw will be yours but I'll run it.
I'll consider myself very lucky to work with your lovely gift.
Babu, this is your good luck charm.
Do you remember you gave me..
..some money from your savings?
I've bought it with that money.
It is for you. This rickshaw is yours, Babu.
Uncle Shambu!
Don't touch my feet. There is no need for it.
How will I repay this favour?
I just want..
..my Babu to be mine forever.
Will you be mine, Babu?
You're lucky, Anarkali. You're walking around with pride.
Anarkali? - Anarkali, come on this side.
Anarkali, I'm your lover.
Come here. - Anarkali, come here.
Come to me. - Come on.
Come to me.
Wait. Look, who has come.
Babu? - Babu.
Babu has come back. - Babu.
O my friend, Babu.
Babu.
What happened?
Why are you crying like a child?
Do you know what I got after being jailed for two years?
Yes, I got this new rickshaw.
What? - A rickshaw.
Will the Government give new rickshaws..
..to everyone who are in jail for two years?
Yes, a rickshaw after two years.
And a horse-cart after four years.
If you are in jail for six years, you'll get a new taxi.
New taxi?
Yes. And if you stay for an entire life..
..you'll get an airplane. - Airplane?
No.
No, you're lying.
Yes. - Yes.
Please give me one more. Give one more.
Won't you go? Don't irritate me. - What are you doing?
Aren't you ashamed to hit a girl?
Have you gone crazy? Go away.
Those who beget such children and leave them..
..on the road are insane.
If not on the road, where else will they leave them?
Did your father build a garden for poor kids in the city?
First, you enter from the wrong side. Then shout.
Go away.
Are you having fun?
Baby, you should've walked carefully.
Are you Pinky?
No.
Pinky. Are you Pinky?
Rickshaw-puller.
But..
..you're in this condition?
Rickshaw-puller, don't tell mother that I beg.
Beg?
But why?
I'm very hungry.
Come with me.
Stop. My house has arrived.
Give it to your mother. - Okay.
Mother!
Mother, take this.
Where did you get them from? Did you beg?
No, mother. He gave them to me.
He's standing outside. Take a look.
Listen, we're poor. But we don't beg from others.
Please take this back and go away.
Didn't you recognise me, madam?
I'm Babu. Your old rickshaw-puller.
Madam, you looked like a Goddess..
..when I saw you earlier..
..with all your adornments on.
You always smiled.
Yes, he made me laugh whole-heartedly.
And now..
..he has left us to cry for an entire lifetime.
He had a car accident.
He took a loan of one million rupees for the contract.
One night, he went out for some important work..
..and met with an accident.
The next morning
he died and I was completely shattered.
I sold everything I had to repay his debts.
Babu, from riches we have come to rags.
If I had known we would face this situation..
..I wouldn't have pampered my daughter so much.
Please take this.
And leave us alone.
No, madam. Don't consider me as an outsider.
You must've forgotten, but I remember it clearly.
One day I took all of you to your house in my rickshaw.
It was raining heavily. We all got drenched.
And then you gave me new clothes and food.
You gave me respect and love which I never knew.
And then he called me his brother.
He's not here. But he left behind this relationship.
What can we poor people give you?
These are not fruits..
..but love and respect. Accept them.
Stop at the gate.
What are you looking at?
You're looking great in this dress.
But this dress is quite different.
This black gown, black cap.
This dress is for a convocation ceremony.
One wears it after graduating.
Is it for higher education? - Yes.
Mother, the rickshaw-puller has come.
Are you eating, Pinky? - Yes.
This is rice, yoghurt, curry and sweets.
Babu, you have it too.
It's dry bread and salt.
Yes. I'll definitely eat it. I'm very hungry.
Take the salt. The bread will taste good with it.
Why are you crying?
There is lot of chilli powder in the food.
It's just salt and bread. Where's the chilli powder?
You won't understand.
I know, Babu.
A person gets up earlier if there is less food.
Once upon a time, I had such a great meal in your house..
..that I was fully satiated.
Rickshaw-puller, earlier you used to wear torn clothes.
Look, I still wear them.
Now you won't wear these clothes.
But where will I get good clothes from?
I'll bring for my dear child. - On the festival of lights.
You'll celebrate the festival as long..
..as Babu is there.
Babu, I know you love Pinky very much.
But we have some respect too.
I respect you like God.
What am I here for?
If I could be of any help, I'll consider myself blessed.
Babu.
I'm leaving. I've to attend school.
Do you still go to school, rickshaw-puller?
No, I've to take the children.
Do you remember you said you'll take me to school?
Yes. Very soon my Pinky will go to school.
And then to college.
One day..
One day, you'll wear a black gown..
..and a black cap and hold a certificate.
As long as you don't get tired of studying..
..I won't get tired of pulling the rickshaw.
Madam, this is the girl whom I'd spoken to you about..
Please don't mind me, Babu.
But it's more than you can afford.
It's not easy getting the child educated in such a school.
Expenses of school fees, books and the uniform..
..will be on the higher side.
How will you manage all these?
What else could be more important than education?
I'll work hard. I'll do anything.
But I'll definitely get Pinky educated.
I request you to enroll her in the school.
Okay, Babu. Bring the child tomorrow. - Yes!
Who is it?
Who are you?
They're those people.
If you keep them happy, they'll give you money.
Get out of here.
Thank you, sir. Go inside.
No.
Don't come forward.
No! Leave me!
Leave me!
O God!
Scoundrels!
No, Babu. No.
I've lost everything to God.
If I die as well now, there won't be any harm done.
Mother. - Don't stop me.
But think of this innocent child.
I have thought of her enough.
If I stay alive for her, I'll lose my chastity.
What will I do with this life if I lose my honour?
Tell me what to do.
I swear..
..if anyone ever tries to misbehave with you..
..I'll kill him.
Mother.
Mother. - Don't worry, Pinky. I'll bring a dog tomorrow.
A big dog?
Yes. A very big dog to guard you the entire day.
Come here.
Look what I've brought for you. New clothes.
New clothes. - Yes.
Okay, I'll leave now.
Rickshaw-puller, will you bring the dog tomorrow?
Yes.
Pinky. In the future, don't call Babu a rickshaw-puller.
Then what should I call him, Mother?
Uncle. - Uncle?
Yes. Babu is your uncle.
He's my brother.
My own brother.
Babu, you stay with that mother and daughter.
And you help and guard them also.
You're doing a huge favour to them.
I'm afraid that people might misunderstand this sort of help.
Uncle Shambu, I judge myself as according to your opinion.
If you think I'm right, I don't care about the world.
Okay. Do as you wish.
Mother, uncle has come.
Whom are you calling uncle?
It's you. And who else?
Me?
A rickshaw-puller?
Yes, Babu. I've told Pinky to call you uncle.
Didn't you bring the dog, Uncle?
Dog? I've brought it.
This is the dog's box. This is the dog's bed.
And this is the dog's bowl.
What about the collar?
This is the dog's collar.
It'll be tied by these little hands forever.
But where is the dog?
It's right in front of you.
Are you a dog, Uncle?
I've come to stay without asking your permission.
I'll stay in a corner.
I hope you won't mind.
Nothing more can delight a sister..
..if her brother stays with her, Babu.
Sister.
Hello, mister. Move aside. Pinky's coming.
Move aside, children.
Great!
Pinky?
What did you ask from God on your birthday?
That everybody should have an uncle like mine.
Is it?
What are you doing?
I'm touching your feet to seek blessings.
These feet shouldn't be touched.
They're only here to pull a rickshaw.
Uncle, my teacher says..
..those who help poor people are gods.
Uncle, today's my birthday.
What will you gift me today? - Gift?
Dear, my whole life is for you.
Okay, sit. I'll be back soon.
What is it, Pinky? Every day you eat lunch alone.
Sit. Eat your lunch with us today. - No.
Sit, Pinky. - No. Please.
What's this? The same vegetarian food again.
There's no chicken, mutton and other items.
There's English food for me today. It's my favourite.
My mother has sent sweets and snacks.
Today's my birthday.
What have you brought from home, Pinky?
What are you hiding? - Nothing.
What's there in it? - Nothing.
Show me.
Stale bread and onion.
My mother says stale bread and onion are good for health.
Your appearance proves that.
Don't you feel bored by coming in the rickshaw daily, Pinky?
Why don't you come by car?
My uncle has a lot of work.
He leaves early morning and returns by evening.
Who are you? What do you want?
My child Pinky studies in this class. Where is she?
Yes, she's here. Pinky dear.
Pinky, I'm late.
But I've managed to get your fees somehow.
Okay, go.
O God.
Okay, children. All of you study well.
Mother, I'm going to watch a film.
Students don't need to watch any films.
It's a film regarding a lesson in our studies.
It's the story of a poor man.
There's no need for us to spend money watching such a film.
It's in front of you.
No matter what, I'll definitely watch the movie.
All the girls from my class are going.
Give me the money.
Okay. Ask uncle.
Uncle? Why should I ask uncle for everything?
Don't I have a mother?
Is there a problem if you ask uncle?
Yes, I'll lose my respect by asking him.
I'll lose my status. - Pinky!
Why are you shouting? I'm right.
Do you know how insulted I felt in the school yesterday?
He came to pay my school fees.
He didn't call me out. He just entered the class.
In front of everybody he counted the money..
..from his pocket and gave them to me.
He does all these things deliberately.
Because he wants the world to know that..
..the person who brought me up is a rickshaw-puller. - Pinky!
Don't say anything further.
Does a kind man like Babu embarrass you?
I pity you. Your education and your schooling.
Do you know this man works hard..
..so that you don't have to beg?
He wants you to get a good education.
He doesn't care for his health and age.
I've prayed to many gods till date.
But nobody listened to me.
And this good person didn't let us starve for life..
..after eating our food just once.
I felt very happy when you were born.
But today I feel ashamed.
I'm feeling ashamed.
Thank God! Finally, we've reached.
Get down. - Come on, girls. Get down.
Get down. For how long will you sit?
Why are you pushing me?
Careful. - Hurry up.
Come on, let's go.
Oh, my God. So many girls in my car?
Yes. Thanks for the lift.
Greetings. - Thank you very much, driver.
What did you say?
You called me driver. Did you call me a driver?
What does it mean?
No. Not driver. It's brother.
Let me go, brother.
My dear brother, let go of me.
Okay. But remember one thing.
If I come to drop you again, I won't call myself Prem.
As if you've come to drop us. - What else then?
If Pinky had not been with us..
..you'd have made excuses to avoid us.
Okay, bring the luggage from the trunk.
Okay, madam.
Hi, Pinky.
What are you searching for? - My earring fell off.
Earring?
Come out.
What is it?
You want the earring? - Yes!
What is it?
Earring.
I'll put on this earring.
All the girls might see us. - It's fine.
Please. - Prem.
Pinky.
I'm going. - Pinky.
They're behaving as though I'm their driver.
At first, it was driver. And now the..
Are you hurt? - What's there to laugh about?
Pick it up.
Pinky. Do you know what these oranges remind me of?
What?
Your round cheeks.
Have you seen Babu's condition?
He used to walk with pride.
Now he has become thin and weak.
I don't understand. Why does he work so hard?
Will his photo get published in the newspaper?
Those who get their photos published..
..in the newspapers by giving money aren't great.
Our Babu is truly great.
He has nothing with him. Yet he gives everything to others.
How are you? - We're good.
Are you asking us? Look at your condition.
You're coughing badly.
What did the doctor say?
Doctor says I'm suffering from a big disease.
A disease that is seen in rich people's circles.
My lungs should be scanned.
Scan? What disease is it?
Disease which damages the bones, makes the patient vomit blood.
It kills the person.
He's suffering from tuberculosis.
It's a matter of a few days.
After that Babu will be gone.
Babu will die.
Babu. - What are you doing? Don't touch him.
Or you'll get that disease too.
Lala, all your fingers are bent.
Look at them.
No. They're fine.
His ears have turned white.
White. - Yes!
No. Lepers suffer of it.
Yes. You have that disease.
Your nose has bloated.
Your lips have swollen.
Your eyes have shrunk.
No. They're like this from birth.
He's scratching all over. He's a leper.
No. I've got an itch. Why would I suffer from leprosy?
A good man suffers from tuberculosis.
So a sinner like you will suffer from leprosy.
No. - He's a leper.
No. - Yes, he's a leper.
Chunchunwala, after a few days you'll die.
You'll die. - You'll die.
You'll die.
Babu, listen to me.
Stop the child's education for six months or a year..
..and get yourself treated. - No, brother.
Pinky studies very hard.
I won't stop her education.
Don't worry.
I've always fought with life.
Now I'll fight death too.
Stop the car, Prem. - Why?
Pinky? - Yes!
What happened?
Why did you tell me to stop the car so suddenly?
Just like that. I'll take a walk.
Come on. I'll drop you.
To my house?
No. My parents don't know about you.
If they see me with you, there'll be a problem.
Okay, Prem. I'm leaving. Bye.
Bye.
Did you see that, Pinky? Even my car is stopping you.
Come. I'll drop you near the gate of your house.
The gate of my house?
No, Prem. I'll walk there. Bye.
Are you so afraid of your uncle, Pinky? - I..
My pen. Where's my pen?
Step aside.
Where's my pen?
Prem.
I've to write lots of notes. What will happen now?
What will happen? Use this pen..
..till then.
This is..
Come on. No problem.
If your uncle asks about this pen..
..tell him that it's your friend's pen. Okay.
Come on. Take it.
Now smile.
Bye, Prem. - Bye.
Babu, you're coughing badly.
Why are you sleeping here?
It's very cold these days. Come inside.
No. It's fine here.
My coughing will disturb Pinky's study.
Tell Pinky to give me hot water. - Okay.
Pinky!
Babu is sleeping outside so your studies don't get disturbed.
But you're playing with your pen leisurely.
Where did you get this new pen from?
Friend. One of my friends gave it.
Friend? Which friend.
Prem. I mean Prema.
She studies with me in college. She's very good.
Pinky, I don't like all this at all.
You should only befriend the people of your status.
Return the pen tomorrow.
Uncle is asking for hot water. Give some to him.
Have it.
Did my coughing disturb your study?
Pinky, I like everything which you give me..
..with your hands.
I feel very happy.
Did you drink the water? Now I'm going to study.
Yes.
Sorry, sweetheart Pinky. I'm late.
Sit in the car.
Why are you so late? - I'm so sorry, darling.
Now let's go. - Now don't get angry. Come on.
Have you seen how the boy came and picked up that girl?
The girl was longing to meet him too.
Her parents might have had so many dreams for her.
They must've educated her with great difficulty.
But the girl..
It's not the girl's fault, but the parents' fault.
Where did you go, Pinky?
Where did you go?
Where I go every day. College.
I know that.
But where are you coming from now?
Is it necessary to answer all your questions?
I'm coming from my friend's house.
A boy or a girl?
And that friend came to drop you home in his car?
Why do you ask me questions when you know everything?
You're a girl, yet aren't you ashamed to go out with a boy?
I don't need to answer your question.
Pinky.
Pinky. How dare you snub me and walk away?
You've become the laughing stock of the city.
I didn't know you'd get crazy for money like this.
I had so many dreams.
I've brought you up with a lot of hope.
And you're with that useless boy.. - Shut up.
It wouldn't be good if you say something against him.
Why did you nurture me?
Why didn't you kill me?
You were a poor man.
You're poor and you'll always remain poor.
That's why you're jealous of rich people. - Pinky!
Who are you to beat me?
After all you're just a rickshaw-puller.
What did you say, Pinky?
I'll kill you. - Don't beat her, sister.
I'll kill you. - Don't beat her.
Don't beat her.
I can't watch my Pinky getting hit. Don't hit her.
Did you see? Babu gets hurt if I hit you.
He gave up his own dreams for making your dreams come true.
He didn't get married and start a family.
Pinky, I've just given birth to you.
But he has given you life.
God never forgives the person..
..who humiliates their saviour.
No. Let it go, sister. You're making it a big deal.
No, Babu. Pinky shouldn't have spoken like that.
Pinky shouldn't have spoken like that.
Let it be.
I'll be back soon.
Where were you, Babu?
Come on, have food.
Did the child eat her food?
She'll eat if she feels hungry. She's very stubborn.
Don't be so harsh.
After all, she's just a child. I'll explain it to her.
Pinky.
I'm not educated.
I'm ignorant.
I don't even have the manners to talk.
I've become old.
Forgive me.
Henceforth, I'll talk to you with respect.
I'll not take your name in front of everyone.
I'll address you with respect.
Tell me once that you have forgiven me.
What is it, Babu? You're still pampering her.
Don't you interfere.
You've given birth to Pinky. You can say anything.
I'm just an ordinary rickshaw-puller.
I crossed my limits.
Pinky.
Tell me once that you have forgiven me.
I can endure any punishment you give me.
But I can't stand your silence.
If you don't talk to me, I'll get dejected.
If I get dejected, I'll die.
Pinky, tell me once that you have forgiven me.
Tell me that you've forgiven me.
Uncle.
Uncle, forgive me.
I don't know what happens to me sometimes.
I feel inferior and useless.
That's when I talk rubbish.
But you mean more than God to me, Uncle.
Why did I humiliate you?
Forgive me, Uncle.
Uncle! - It's not your mistake, Pinky.
You college mates might be saying..
..that their uncles are judges, doctors..
..mill owners, and own bungalows.
And what would you say to that?
Will you say that your uncle is a rickshaw-puller?
Yes, I'm a rickshaw-puller. I'll remain a rickshaw-puller.
Even if I try, I can't become anything else.
Uncle.
Whatever it is, you're everything to me.
Henceforth, I'll never do anything against your wishes.
I'll do whatever you say.
I promise, Uncle.
Pinky. - Uncle.
Uncle.
Pinky.
Sorry, Pinky.
Henceforth, don't wait for me or talk to me.
Such a big punishment for being slightly late?
This isn't punishment. This is the truth.
My uncle doesn't like me meeting and talking to you.
But your uncle must've given some reason for it.
He knows the reason.
I just know what uncle said.
I can't go against his wish. - What are you saying, Pinky?
Does your uncle alone have feelings?
Don't I have any feelings?
Pinky, I'm telling you for the last time.
If you want me and a good future..
..sit in the car.
If your uncle is important to you..
..go ahead without turning back.
I knew you'd come.
Come inside.
Your pen.
Pinky, aren't you studying today?
Exams are approaching.
Yes, Mother.
I have to pay more than Rs.300 as fees.
Tomorrow's the last date.
Tomorrow?
What did uncle get after educating me?
Damaged lungs, cough and pain?
Uncle is dying for me.
I can't watch it, Mother.
I can't watch it.
I think I should quit college.
What? - Yes.
I'll find some job and help uncle.
We'll never be able to repay everything..
..he's done for us.
Yes, child. We can never repay his favour.
Where are you going so early in the morning, Babu?
I can find passengers if I go early.
You didn't sleep for the entire night.
You're suffering a lot.
Go to the hospital today.
I'll go when the time comes.
Why don't you listen to me?
Oh no, this is not done. When will he drop me?
Oh Lord.
Hey, oh no. I think he died.
'Uncle Shambu, I don't need to beg from others..'
'..till I've got the strength to work.'
'There is no need to beg to God.'
What's this? Is my brave child crying?
These aren't tears, but my helplessness, Uncle.
I need money for Pinky's exams.
I thought I'll earn some money..
..by working hard, day and night.
But my health let me down.
What has become of you, Babu?
You ate food in their house once..
..and you're repaying it like this.
You're destroying your life gradually.
No, Uncle.
I feel very happy when Pinky calls me uncle.
I can give up any number of lives to hear her sweet words.
Babu, I've seen many things in this world.
But I've never seen a person like you.
You're a God living on this earth.
I'm neither a God nor a great human being.
I'm an ordinary person.
Uncle, I was proud thinking..
..that I'll have power in my hands forever..
..and I'll never become weak.
But see how time has mocked me.
There is no energy in my hands to pull the rickshaw anymore.
And there is no strength in my legs to run.
I used to walk with pride earlier.
Uncle, everything is finished.
No, Babu.
Don't worry, Uncle.
I'll never give up my life till Pinky graduates..
..and till I see her in a black gown and a black cap.
Babu...
What will be the price of this rickshaw?
Price? Do you want to sell your rickshaw?
What will I do with it, when I can't even pull it?
Get me a price for it.
I want Rs. 500.
Rs. 500. Yes.
Okay.
Take this.
Is this the price of the rickshaw?
No. It's a friend's gift to his friend.
No. I don't accept your gift.
Then shame on my life and my friendship.
Can't I help you in your need..
..in spite of being your friend for ages?
That time too will come, Uncle Shambu
when only you will be able to help me.
I've hoarded that time like a miser.
You've to perform the funeral rites after my death.
And you've to bear those expenses.
Uncle Shambu, give me the money if you can buy this rickshaw.
Or else, I'm leaving. - Wait, Babu.
Babu. - Yes.
I've bought the rickshaw.
Come with me.
Uncle Shambu, this rickshaw has served me a lot.
It was with me during the good and bad times.
Keep it carefully.
Congratulations.
I've seen it, sister.
What have you seen? You're very happy today.
It wouldn't matter even if I die today.
I've seen my long-cherished dream becoming true today.
Pinky got the degree today.
Pinky got the degree, sister.
Okay. So you've seen it.
Pinky has come.
Yes. - Pinky, wear that black gown,..
..the black cap and show it to your mother.
Mother, where is uncle?
Uncle.
What happened to you?
Why don't you speak?
What have I done?
Uncle, look at me.
"This joyous day.."
"..is like the dream of my life."
"I've learnt the way to live life from you."
Open your mouth, Uncle.
You're saying it as though you've become a doctor.
I've got the degree. These are the sweets for celebrating.
Open your mouth.
No. First give it to your mother.
Child, he's your mother, father..
..God and everything.
He has the first right.
The sweets will become offerings if you give them to him.
Yes.
No.
Pinky, come with me.
Sir, your daughter has graduated. Bless her.
Pinky, seek his blessings.
Why are you silent, Father?
Do you remember when you said..
..equality and unity shouldn't be found in books alone.
They should be amongst the people.
Son, it's very easy to give a lecture to others.
But when it befalls a person then..
Anyway, tell that girl..
..and her rickshaw-puller uncle to come and meet me.
They won't come to meet us, Father.
We should go meet them. - What rubbish!
Yes. Pinky's uncle values his dignity a lot.
He told Pinky not to meet me when he found out..
..that I'm the son of a rich person.
What?
In spite of knowing you're the son of a millionaire?
Yes.
And from that day on Pinky has stopped meeting me.
So, what will we do by meeting them?
We can prove to them that all rich people aren't bad.
They too have certain ideals and principles.
Tell me..
..will you accept Pinky as your daughter-in-law or not?
Let's go.
He's my father.
Dad, he.. - I know that.
Sit in the car. - Sit here.
I've never seen you before.
But I've heard a lot about you.
Although I hadn't met you.
I've seen your photo in the newspapers a lot.
I've come to talk about something important.
Both the children like each other a lot, Babu.
Life isn't a child's playground..
..that you've come to buy a toy to keep your son happy.
If we had to buy toys..
..we could've got them in abundance.
The toys which bring millions of rupees with them.
So what have you come here for?
The rich have never understood the poor properly.
You're born rich.
How can you understand the poor?
Babu..
..children think all bearded men kidnap them.
Similarly, you too think all rich people are bad.
I don't know all that.
I just know..
..what is good and what is bad for my child.
We don't have a safe full of cash.
We have a heart full of love.
Lots of love. - No, Babu.
The love you're talking about isn't parents' love.
What do you mean?
Babu, parents who beget children..
..understand their children's hunger and pain.
Those who raise them don't understand it.
Sir, do you mean to say that..
..I don't want Pinky's well-being?
You don't want her well-being. You're her enemy.
When millionaire, Ved Prakash, learnt that..
..his son loved a poor girl..
..he left his great mansion for his son's happiness..
..and came to a poor rickshaw-puller's hut.
And he had to bear the pain of a father..
..who actually has a child by birth.
But you're enjoying the pleasure of a father..
..who raised a foster daughter. She's not yours by birth.
No, sir. Don't say that.
You've misunderstood Pinky and my love.
I can't bear to hear it.
Sir, I'm an illiterate and a fool.
I don't even know how to talk to you with respect.
I don't even know how to..
Babu.
Babu, forgive me.
My words have hurt you.
The love of parents for their children..
..is their duty.
It's selfishness.
But your love for another's daughter..
..isn't just love, duty and selfishness.
It's a great sacrifice, Babu.
No parent can equal that.
Sir.
Prem's late mother wanted her son to marry the girl he loved.
I want to fulfil her final wish.
But..
Babu, next Friday is an auspicious day.
And it's also Prem's mother's birthday.
I want this marriage to take place on that occasion.
But I want you to accept it before that.
My opinion doesn't matter.
The girl and her mother should accept it.
Sister.
Come out.
Sir wants to ask you something.
I want my son to marry your daughter.
What's your opinion?
Do you agree?
Everything happens here as per Pinky's uncle's wish.
It'll be as per his wish.
What is your opinion, my relative?
Let me see my daughter-in-law.
Yes. - Yes.
Pinky.
Pinky, dear.
Pinky, take his blessings.
God bless you, child.
You're very lucky, son.
Okay. Allow us to leave now.
What are you doing, my relative?
I'm from the bride's side. It's part of our hospitality. Sit.
Sit, child.
Uncle Shambu. - Babu.
Open your mouth, Uncle.
Open your mouth. - Okay.
Babu, what's the treat for?
My child's marriage has been finalised.
I know that.
I also know they're decent and rich.
Babu. - Yes.
Babu, you've proved..
..that with noble and firm intent..
..a man can achieve anything.
That's why I've come with the invitation.
Will you come for the marriage? - I'll definitely come.
I'll come and watch how my Babu looks..
..when he sits with the rich people.
Then you..
You'll get disheartened. - Why?
We're not going to attend the wedding.
Don't tell this to Pinky.
What are you saying?
This is the marriage..
..of the millionaire businessman Ved Prakash's son, Prem..
..and late Shankarlal's daughter, Pinky.
What will a poor rickshaw-puller do there?
Have you gone crazy?
Yes, I'm crazy. I've become old.
Uncle...
Now.. I'll witness the marriage..
..through your eyes.
You'll hear the marriage band play for me.
You'll bless the couple on my behalf.
Uncle, will you go to bless the couple?
Yes. - Will you go?
I'll definitely go.
"I'll stay with you even..
..if our destinations change."
"I'll stay with you even..
..if our destinations change."
"It's not difficult to meet each other if we really want it."
Uncle.
Uncle, they've come.
They've come to take me away from you.
Don't cry, child.
Nobody can take you away from your uncle.
I'll always be with you even after my death.
Seek your father's blessings. Come.
Sit down.
Pinky.
Yes, Uncle.
Your uncle doesn't have anything to give in dowry.
What are you saying, Uncle?
You've given me your entire life in dowry.
Still there is something..
Keep this with you..
..as my souvenir.
This is the most loyal animal when it comes to love.
Even if it's sick or on its death bed..
..when it hears its owner's voice..
..it shows its loyalty.
Uncle.
Babu.
These new clothes are for you.
It's the same feeling when we give..
..small or big donations in the temple to God.
I can give only this gift to a kind person like you.
Take it.
Wear them, Babu.
Wear them.
Yes, I'll wear them.
Shall we go, sister-in-law?
Uncle, I'll carry it. - No, child.
I won't be carrying anything after this.
I'm giving away my child..
..whom I took care of till now.
Let it be, Pinky dear.
This is for the last time, my child.
Uncle.
Sit down.
Uncle.
Sit down.
Sit down. Come on.
Uncle.
No, Uncle.
Don't cry, child.
No, Uncle.
Go happily.
Uncle.
Even you went away.
Anyways, it is daughter's wedding.
You should attend it too, so you left.
Okay.
Pinky!
Greetings.
I'm Babu's friend, Shambunath.
Babu invited me for Pinky's marriage.
He gave this card.
May I go inside? - You're strange.
Our brother-in-law's friend is our brother-in-law too.
Come in. Sit down.
What's the matter, Pinky? Who are you looking for?
Uncle has not yet come.
The auspicious time is passing by. Shall we start the rituals?
Hold on, priest. The bride's uncle must be on the way.
Sister..
..the priest says we shouldn't delay further.
What do you say? Shall we start the rituals?
Start the rituals, priest.
Why are you standing here? Go outside.
Now you go too. You're lucky.
The bride and the groom will serve you with their hands. Go.
Go and eat the food. Why are you standing here?
Uncle.
I'm nobody's uncle.
I'm not related to this girl. I'm a poor man.
I'm not related to her. Yes.
Uncle.
Did you forget me after getting me married?
For which mistake of mine..
..have you severed our ties..
..and said that you're not my uncle?
Why did you do that, Uncle? Why did you do that?
I'll tell you, child.
He considered your father's love a debt.
Now he has repaid it.
No, sister. Don't say so.
I've never considered his love a debt.
I always considered it a blessing.
No, Uncle.
Uncle.
I'll not let you go until you don't bless me.
Uncle, bless us just once.
I'll be blessed.
Do it, Uncle.
Or I won't leave your feet.
I'm so lucky..
..to be amongst people who love me!
I'm so close to you.
God, I never believed in you.
God, I've never asked you for anything.
For the first time..
..I'm begging you
for blessings.
Every happiness..
Give them the whole world's joys..
..so that they live happily..
..and with love.
I don't want anything else from you.
Today all my..
..desires have been fulfilled.
All my desires.
