'MANIYARA'
"Dear bride"
"you are very pretty."
"You are no longer a child."
"It is your wedding night.."
"Dear bride.."
"You are very pretty.."
"You are no longer a child."
"It is your wedding night.."
"Tonight is a very special night in your life."
"You will experience something you have never felt before."
"Tonight is a very special night in your life.."
"You will experience something you have never felt before.."
"Tonight, the groom will"
"love you passionately."
"Dear bride.."
"You are very pretty.."
"You are no longer a child."
"It is your wedding night.."
"After the wedding ceremony, the reception"
"and the celebrations.."
"After the wedding ceremony, the reception"
"and the celebrations"
"once the townsfolk disperse"
"don't doze off, dear."
"Dear bride.."
"You are very pretty.."
"You are no longer a child."
"It is your wedding night.."
"A new phase is about to begin in the groom's life.'
"He looks handsome."
"He is drunken in love."
"He is the man of every girl's dream."
"You smeared perfume.. - Perfume.."
"You flashed your enticing smile.. - Your enticing smile.."
"Here comes the handsome man."
"There is no stopping him."
"You are new to this life. - Don't rush into it."
"Take it very slow.."
"You are new to this life. Don't rush into it."
"Take it very slow.."
"The moment your bedroom door opens"
"is the moment your bride enters your life."
"You should be yourself in front of her."
"You should smile happily."
"You should be yourself in front of her."
"You should smile happily."
Just like this.
"You are new to this life. Don't rush into it."
"Take it very slow.."
"Dear bride.."
"You are very pretty.."
"You are no longer a child."
"It is your wedding night.."
"When you listen to her voice or see her pretty face"
"don't lose your footing. - Don't!"
"Don't lose your footing.."
"Make endless conversations with her."
"Don't sweat, naughty. - Naughty.."
"Don't sweat, naughty.."
"Dear bride.."
"You are very pretty.."
"You are no longer a child."
"It is your wedding night.."
Today is our wedding night.
Everyone has different expectations when it comes to this night.
I don't support ruining this night
with sexual fantasies.
We are laying the foundation for a new life together.
Before that, both of us must understand each other.
I hope you got my point, Sabna. - Yes, go on.
Sabna, you are educated. You are rich.
You must have friends. You can meet them anytime you like.
I won't question it. Neither should I be questioned.
Go on.
I won't let you down as your husband.
And it's your duty to be a good wife.
I am well aware of it.
What else do you have to say? - There are a lot of things.
But not now. Maybe later.
Then, can I be frank with you and express my opinion?
Please.
It's a foolish misconception
that a woman's life attains its true meaning
only after she becomes a mother.
I don't support that notion.
I wish to abstain from that for at least five years.
Five years! Five years?
At the very least.
I wonder what's taking them so long.
That's exactly my thought.
Some trouble with the car on their way.. - Cut it out.
What car trouble? - True.. What kind of car trouble?
Here they come.
Come.. What took you so long?
We were stuck in traffic.
We were getting worried. - Come, dear.
We were thinking about the reason for your delay.
I thought you would come to escort us, Brother-in-law.
Didn't I attend your marriage? - Come.. - Oh, yes.
Sit. - Please sit.
Let me go inside. - Okay.
He is my daughter's husband.
I know.
So, how is your fight against dowry going?
Why do I sense contempt?
There is no contempt.
I won't be surprised even if you do so.
Aren't you a police inspector?
The ones who are supposed to maintain law and order break them.
Didn't you marry your daughter off by giving one lakh rupees, a car
and 50 sovereigns of gold as dowry?
Hassanali, mind your words.
I was just stating some facts.
Islamic law states that the husband must accept his wife
by giving her riches. That is called 'Mehar'.
Isn't it? - Yes, that's how it is. - But that's not the case here.
The bride is the one giving it to the groom.
If that isn't the case, no matter how idealistic the guy is
he won't agree for the marriage. The girl would stay a maiden.
That's true.. The girl's life would be ruined.
What if they do something on the spur of the moment?
Who would suffer? - It would be us, the elders.
Why do you say that?
You only have one daughter.
Did I accept any dowry when I married her?
You were not in a position to give me dowry back then.
Now your business has flourished and you are a rich man.
In spite of all these riches
did Shameer accept dowry while getting married?
There is no youth in this village who hates the concept of dowry
as much as he does.
That's true. How is that even possible?
My concept is that if you are rich you can go ahead and give dowry.
But we shouldn't pressurise others to do so.
If we accept it as a norm, there won't be any problems.
Yes.. That's good.
Go on. Drink it.
Sabna is from an affluent family.
Is she happy with the facilities that we have here?
She is well-mannered. She isn't arrogant or stubborn.
Even if she is any of that, you will have to tolerate it.
Unlike you, she came to this house with a lot of riches.
My father was not capable of that.
It's not necessary that your father gives it. Even you can do that.
What should I give you? Boundless riches?
No, just you.
Noorjahan.
Serve tea to Ayyoob and Sabna.
Sabna..
You needn't have bothered.
I would have done it myself.
This isn't a bother for me.
Are there no servants in here to help you out?
Why do we need servants?
I can manage all the household chores myself.
Did you heat up the water for me to bath?
I heated it as soon as you told me about it.
Why not hire a servant?
Noorjahan can do almost everything in this house.
She wants to do everything herself.
She won't let us hire a servant.
Right, Noorjahan?
Yes.
Damn. It won't open.
Who cares! Let someone else take care of it.
Oh, God! It's raining cats and dogs.
I can't get anything sorted out because of this rain.
May peace be upon you. - May peace be upon you.
Sit. What brings you here at this early hour, Moitheenkutty?
How can I not come?
You accepted one lakh rupees, 50 gold sovereigns and a car as dowry.
The couple is done with all the post-wedding formalities.
But still, my account has not been settled yet.
I am talking about the three percent commission.
Did you get it? - Oh..
Brokerage.
Mr. Haji, don't belittle it by calling it a brokerage.
It's outdated.
Nowadays it's called broker commissioner.
Is it commissioner or commission?
The ones who collect commission are commissioners. Right?
You must settle my account right now.
Hey, you have collected money from me many a time.
When did I collect money? What are you saying?
I would have accepted Rs. 100 for refreshments and bus fare.
Are you aware of the recent regulations?
It is three percent, as decided by the union.
What? When did you guys form a union?
Shouldn't we?
If every working class can form a union, why can't we?
Our union is called AKMBU.
It expands to All Kerala Marriage Brokers Union.
They decide our commission.
Did you understand?
Praise be to Allah..
So pay me three percent of one lakh rupees, the car
and 50 golden sovereigns
after deducting what I have already accepted from you.
Then I will leave.
In your wildest dreams, Mr. AKMBU Commissioner.
I won't accept anything less than three percent.
They will kill me.
You know who? AKMBU.
If you don't give it to me, I will tell them.
They will collect it from you.
What did you understand?
You didn't understand anything. I know.
Don't send them this way!
All you need is your three percent, right?
I will give it. - Oh, really?
How could you say that? - Oh, God!
How will we pay him?
That's what I was wondering. How do we pay him?
Don't waste your time coming here
to claim your three percent.
Here is Rs. 1,000. - I don't want it.
One lakh rupees, 50 gold sovereigns
and a car. The three percent of all of it..
Does it amount to just Rs. 1,000?
Didn't you accept money from us before?
You will come back to us when you are broke.
Shouldn't we help you then?
If we take that into account, it will exceed three percent.
That's true.
Fine.
See you later.
Don't interfere with such matters.
Haven't I warned you many times?
If we were to pay him his three percent
do you know how much that would amount to?
You are indeed a moron.
Praise be to Allah..
Noorjahan..
Coming, Mother-in-law.
What is it, Mother-in-law? - Look at the state of this room.
Clean it up.
After that, wash these clothes.
"When I close my eyes"
"my dreams weave the shape of you."
"Even if I open my eyes"
"I can't think of anything but you."
"In the gushing thoughts of mine"
"all I see is your face"
"that shimmers like the sea"
"under the full moon sky."
"In the gushing thoughts of mine"
"all I see is your face"
"that shimmers like the sea"
"under the full moon sky."
"When I close my eyes"
"my dreams weave the shape of you."
"Even if I open my eyes"
"I can't think of anything but you."
"When the stream of love made way"
"through the orchard of my dreams"
"you waited by the shore and ushered them your way."
"When I got to read through"
"the poems you scribbled with your glances"
"it occurred to me that it was all about me."
"When I close my eyes.."
"Your dreams weave the shape of me."
"Even if I open my eyes.."
"I can't think of anything but you."
"The moments of passion"
"we shared on our wedding night"
"took me to a whole new world."
"From that night"
"your face has been inscribed in my heart"
"with many a vivid hue."
"When I close my eyes"
"my dreams weave the shape of you."
"Even if I open my eyes"
"I can't think of anything but you."
Aren't these our clothes? - Yes.
If we can't employ a maid
we will give it to the launderers.
You shouldn't make her do this.
I never asked her to.
She did it voluntarily.
Did you hear this? I am being blamed for your actions.
Noorjahan. - Yes?
Why aren't you letting them employ a maid?
Are you asking me this because of what mother-in-law said?
She won't let us appoint a maid.
In order to hide that fact from you
she blamed it on me.
Is she such a miser?
You will realise that very soon.
Aunt. - Yes?
Oh, Sheeja, it's you.
Come here!
Your mother said you are attending typewriting classes.
How is it going? - I have an exam after two months.
Sabna, didn't you recognise her? - Of course.
Give each other company. I'll be right back. - Okay.
Come on in.
Please sit down.
I thought you wouldn't have recognised me.
Though I saw you only during my wedding
I can't forget you so easily, can I?
I was the butt of your jokes that day.
What happened, Son?
I got into an accident.
A boy jumped in front of my scooter.
In my effort to save him, my scooter toppled.
Are you seriously hurt? - No, I am not.
Where is Noorjahan?
A massage would have been good.
She is bathing. Let me check if she's done.
Noorjahan.
- Give me a minute, Mother-in-law.
Let's massage your legs with this medicinal oil.
I'll do it myself.
Don't dirty your hands. - No. - I will do it.
I will do it for you.
Sheeja!
You need not take up such arduous responsibilities.
Take your hands off.
Yeah, right!
Why are you sobbing?
When I went to attend to Shameer
she scolded me. - Who? Noorjahan?
Yes.
Did you scold her?
Yes, I did. - Why?
Didn't she tell you why? - But I am asking you.
When I am right here
why do we need someone else to take care of my husband?
She is not a stranger.
Nothing would've happened even if she had tended to him.
She is his cousin.
But not his wife, right?
Some wife you are!
A woman remains a wife until she is divorced.
But she will always be his cousin.
That means she is more important than both Noorjahan and me.
Doesn't it, Mother-in-law? - Who asked your opinion?
As it was Noorjahan, she stopped at this.
If it were me.. - What if it were you?
Noorjahan. - Yes?
I have a doubt. - What is it?
Why is mother-in-law showing more affection towards Sheeja
than towards us?
Haven't you realised it yet?
She wanted Shameer to marry Sheeja.
Maybe it was to get them closer.
Mother-in-law insisted on employing
Sheeja at his shop.
Before marriage
even I used to work there.
"In the muddled waters of my thoughts"

"Why is no one rowing the canoe?"
"Shouldn't we cross these waters?"
"Why is no one rowing the canoe?"
"Shouldn't we cross these waters?"
"Shouldn't we cross these uncharted waters?"
Shouldn't we? - "In the muddled waters.."
Don't sell that cassette. I need that.
Okay. - "Our dreams formed a canoe.."
"My dreams formed a beautiful canoe."
The stock of the devotional songs sung by Yesudas
will be exhausted after today's sale.
We need to place the order today.
Won't it take a few days for them to deliver the goods?
What are we supposed to do until then?
Unexpected sales happened the last few days.
We had to send a cheque along with the order.
But you weren't here yesterday to sign the cheque.
Are you upset with me?
I like seeing you upset.
Only then can I appreciate your true beauty.
Do you have the cassette of the movie 'Maniyara'?
To hell with it! Go and ask someone else.
Then what are you supposed to be doing here?

Shameer, I brought this for you.
What's the occasion? - It is my father's birthday.
Yes, dear.
She makes it a point to celebrate
my birthday every year.
I have been wanting to tell you something for a few days now.
What is it, Uncle?
Sheeja has been getting many marriage proposals.
To be frank
I wish to get her married to you.
What do you think about this?
I haven't thought about that until now.
Then give it a thought.
You mean the world to her.
I have got no problems with Sheeja.
But
I can't fulfil this wish of yours.
What do you mean?
I can't marry Sheeja.
Silly girl! Why are you crying?
This problem is nothing compared to the ones
you have faced before.
Don't worry.
He took this decision in haste.
I will make sure
that he changes this decision.
Shameer is in love with Noorjahan.
That's why he doesn't want to marry me.
Don't worry about that.
He won't marry her
as long as I am alive.
I assure you that.
Sheeja didn't come today.
I don't think she will come.
Why? - She had come to my house yesterday with her father.
My mother promised her that she would get her
married to me.
Finally, Shameer and I got married after overcoming
many obstacles.
Do I need to explain more
as to why I opposed her? - No.
Anyway, the limitless love that our mother-in-law has for Sheeja
is dangerous.
May peace be upon you. - May peace be upon you.
Come in, Brother-in-law. Have a seat.
When did you arrive? - Just now.
So, how is life?
Everything is going just fine.
You must have got a dress for your daughter on the occasion of Eid.
I have been married for a long time now.
But nobody from here ever got
even a cheap dress for my wife or kids on the occasion of Eid.
Do you think we would insult you
by gifting you cheap clothes?
Noorjahan.
Your father is here.
Here is a dress for you on the occasion of Eid.
Don't just leave.
Let us see it too.
Is this the gift your father brought for you?
Even workwomen employed here won't wear this.
Look at this.
The gift that Sabna's father got for her.
That's how respectable men are.
You needn't have done this.
That too, such expensive clothes.
It's the first Eid after your wedding.
That doesn't mean you should go out of your way to celebrate it.
Noorjahan is not your only daughter.
Doesn't she have sisters? - Yes.
You must start planning for their weddings as well.
Please don't repeat this.
I don't like it.
The clothes that I brought the last time
weren't bad, were they?
Then why did you bring this dirty rag this time?
Parents can't help but remember
their children on special occasions like Eid, can they?
You can't leave like that.
Sit down, Brother-in-law.
Are you leaving?
Don't take her words to your heart.
No, Hassanali.
I am not welcome here.
I have always been insulted here.
I can't bear such insults anymore.
Didn't you see
how they insulted me into leaving that house?
They intentionally insulted me
in front of that inspector too.
It's not that I was incapable
of getting back at them in front of that very inspector.
Had I done that
their family would have been ruined.
And my daughter
would have been blamed for that.
You do know
that Shameer is against dowry system, don't you?
But are you aware
of what happened there?
You know that Noorjahan has attained
marriageable age, don't you?
I want to see her get married
before I die.
I am here to talk about that.
Are you here to ask for our help to get her married?
I don't wish to get her married
by begging in front of others.
If such a day comes
I will poison my daughter
and commit suicide.
You have always been a man of honour.
You had promised Noorjahan's mother on her deathbed
that you would get Noorjahan
married to Shameer.
I am here to remind you that.
I haven't forgotten anything.
It's better to forget that.
Times have changed now.
Today, Shameer can easily get a good amount of money as dowry.
We rejected a family who offered to give us
50 sovereign of gold and Rs. 50,000.
I am not here
for a trade.
Not only that.
After Noorjahan, I have to conduct the weddings
of her two sisters as well.
If you can't keep up the promise that you made to your sister
I have nothing more to say.
Don't leave. Sit down, Brother-in-law.
What do we do? - Why ask me?
We can't provide for a girl
who comes here empty-handed.
As far as I know
Shameer wishes to marry Noorjahan.
In that case, it would be wise
to get them married.
What's the point in arguing if that's what
you guys want?
But there is a condition.
This proposal won't materialise
unless you give us 25 sovereigns of gold
and Rs. 25,000.
Rs. 25,000 and 25 sovereigns of gold!
Oh, God!
Let me try.
Shameer shouldn't be aware that you are giving
us gold and money.
He doesn't believe in the dowry system.
This marriage won't happen if he finds out about this.
Father, here is your tea.
Father.
Here.
You seem to have forgotten the tea. What's eating you, Father?
You look all prepared for a war.
That's right, dear.
I am preparing for a battle indeed.
The hearts of fathers who have daughters
will resemble a battlefield.
Not one, I have three daughters.
If I can at least get you married off..
That would be a weight off your shoulders. Right, Father?
Only the ones that carry that weight around
will understand that, dear.
Even though we have fixed your marriage with Shameer
when I think about it
I feel restless.
You must be bothered about the dowry, Father.
You need not get me married off by paying a dowry.
It's not that, dear.
Shameer is against the concept
of dowry.
He will never accept it.
Is Shameer like us?
Shouldn't we conduct a wedding that suits his stature?
I know what is going on in your mind, Father.
You are planning to mortgage our land and house, right?
I can't think of any other solution, dear.
You need not conduct this wedding if that's the case.
What did you say? Don't you want me to conduct this wedding?
I don't want a life of luxuries
after throwing you guys into the street, Father.
It's better to kill me than doing that!
Noorjahan..
What is it, Father?
Hold this.
Hold this, I say!
Hold this!
Slash me with it.
Behead me.
Let me bathe in blood, shriek in pain
and die brutally.
Come on, do it!
Father!
What is it?
Can't you do it?
This is my plight, dear.
I can't let you die.
I can't die abandoning you as well.
What should I do now?
Noorjahan
what should I do now, dear?
Father..
What do you want me to do, Mr. Ansari?
It's not that I am not interested in your property.
But I don't have the money.
How can you say that, Mr. Kunjabdullah?
Who will believe you if you say
that you don't have money?
That is true. Everyone thinks that
I am well heeled.
But I alone know my plight.
No one except you
can help me now, Mr. Kunjabdullah.
For God's sake
please help me out.
If I don't pay them tomorrow
my daughter's wedding will be called off.
Okay. You need Rs. 25,000
by tomorrow, right?
I can give you that now.
I will pay you the balance amount of Rs. 35,000
a week before the wedding.
Will that do?
Yes! I will forever be indebted to you.
Fine.
I will get you the money now.
God!
Here is the money you demanded.
Give it to her.
Here.
Now, let's discuss the gold.
You must give her 25 sovereigns of gold without fail.
And Shameer should never be apprised
of this deal of ours.
If at all he is, your daughter will be the one to suffer.
I never told Shameer
or Noorjahan about the dowry.
I know that it will be catastrophic if I do that.
I am keeping this a secret
as I don't want to be the reason
for a drift in that family
even if I have to suffer a lot.
Anyways, Hassanali
please don't tell anyone about this.
To be frank, even I am to be blamed.
When there was no one else to buy my land
I had to sell it to Mr. Kunjabdullah.
And all I got was Rs. 10,000.
It didn't even suffice for the wedding expenses.
So I couldn't keep the word that I gave Ramla.
The guilt that's in my heart
forces me to be silent before them.
Father, here's your tea.
Please sit, Hassanali.
Have a cup of tea.
Walk faster.
We are all going
to your grandfather's house.
Come.
Ramla!
Look who is here!
May peace be upon you. - May peace be upon you.
Please sit, Hassanali.
Come, kids. - What a surprise!
When did you remember the fact
that your parents are still here, dear?
It is amusing.
The door swings both ways.
Even you didn't have the heart to visit your daughter.
Then how can you expect that from me?
I have to set foot here ready to face insults.
Didn't you insult Mr. Ansari without any reason, Mother-in-law?
He deserves that treatment.
He is an unscrupulous man!
We are here to discuss something else.
I am here to collect the dowry.
I need at least Rs. 50,000.
Only then will I take back Saudabi and my children.
What are you saying?
It has been years since you got married.
And you have three children.
Are you demanding for the dowry now?
Come, kids.
What right do you have to ask for the dowry now, Hassanali?
Mother-in-law, what right did you have to accept dowry for your sons?
They deserved it.
When I married Saudabi
even I deserved a dowry.
But if I had asked you for dowry
your daughter's wedding would not have materialised.
Did you have any money to offer me as dowry?
Today, I need the dowry that you owe me.
We don't have a money tree to give you money when you ask.
Why are you lying to my face, Mother-in-law?
Didn't you get a dowry of Rs. 1,00,000
50 sovereigns of gold and a car
from Ayyoob's wife's family?
They are rich. So we can excuse you.
Didn't you take Rs. 25,000 as dowry from Mr. Ansari?
This is a lie!
Who told you this, Hassanali?
How does that matter?
The poor guy paid up after selling his property.
Is demanding Rs. 25,000 a big offence?
To be frank, he was cheating us.
You don't know, Hassanali.
He had promised to conduct
the wedding by offering 25 sovereigns of gold.
But do you know what happened?
The next day after the feast..
Dear, there are a lot of thieves around here.
Give me your ornaments.
I shall lock them up in my safe. - Okay, Mother-in-law.
Do wear your bangles.
I want you to weigh them.
Why?
Just to know. That's all.
Why would anyone weigh rolled gold?
What! Rolled gold?
You may leave.
Hey!
These are imitation ornaments. Aren't they?
What? - Did you really think they were gold!
Aren't you a cunning witch!
You are a good actress!
I don't know anything. I swear.
Your father must have trained you to say so.
He promised to conduct the wedding by offering 25 sovereigns..
What is the commotion here? - Really?
Ask your daughter-in-law.
Look what your brother-in-law has done.
He conducted the wedding by offering fake ornaments.
Check these out.
He has deliberately done this
to insult this family.
I will surely give him a piece of my mind!
That is not needed, Ramla.
It is demeaning to fight over such petty issues.
So, isn't this demeaning?
Oh! He is your brother-in-law after all.
No matter what happens
I will call him tomorrow.
I can't believe that she misunderstood me
right after I set foot in this house.
I swear that I did not know
that the ornaments were fake.
You might be telling the truth.
I trust you.
But my mother can't be blamed for doubting you.
Anyone in her position would've done the same.
Your father shouldn't have done something like this.
If he was short of money
he could have informed us.
We would've helped him out.
This wasn't right of him.
May peace be upon you. - May peace be upon you.
Please sit.
Why did you send someone for me?
I was the one who did that.
How could you gather the courage
to marry off your daughter giving her fake ornaments?
Did you think that
my son, Shameer, was a good for nothing fellow?
No father
would get his daughter married
to a good for nothing fellow.
I sincerely wanted to send her to your home
wearing the 25 sovereigns of gold you demanded.
That is why I sold my property
to Kunjabdullah.
But at the last moment
he refused to pay and cheated me.
I had informed this to him.
What are you saying?
How can you expect me to postpone the wedding on the wedding eve?
I had told you that I would have to send her
wearing fake ornaments
if you can't postpone it, Brother-in-law.
Even though you said that
I thought that you'd send her
with some gold at least.
Damn.. This was very bad of you.
So did you also support him in this?
You were adamant to get your son married to your niece.
I will definitely get back at all of you for this.
You could have at least told me
that they were fake, Father.
You made me look like a liar in front of everyone.
Why did you do this to me, Father?
Dear
even you are accusing me.
Aren't you, Noorjahan?
Are these the ornaments worn by her at our wedding?
Yes, of course. These are hers.
Are you guys fighting over this?
These ornaments are made of gold.
What! Really?
Did you think they were fake?
Can you please check them?
This is gold.
Yes.
This is gold.
Hey. You were wearing fake ornaments until yesterday.
How did it transform into gold today?
I don't know, Mother-in-law.
But I know.
You mesmerised my son
and made him buy this for you. Isn't that the truth?
That's not the whole truth.
I was the one who bought the gold.
But she didn't force me into anything.
It was my decision to get it for her.
Don't I have the right to buy gold
for my wife, Mother?
Now do you understand
the truth behind whatever happened, Hassanali?
My son bought ornaments worth Rs. 35,000
compensating the money Mr. Ansari gave us.
I am not interested in any of this.
I need Rs. 50,000 somehow.
Your daughter and her children will stay here until then.
Are you trying to abstract money by scaring us?
I won't be scared by this, Hassanali.
Saudabi, when they agree to pay me
let me know.
I shall take you and our children along with me.
We shall..
The bride is 42 years old and the groom is 28.
This won't happen. Why should I get beaten up? Oh!
Hey.. Mr. Commissioner. Stop there.
I wanted to meet you.
Even I wanted to meet you. - What is the matter?
Do you intend to send me and my family
to our graves, Mr. Hassanali?
What is the issue?
Why do you oppose the concept of dowry, Hassanali?
That is what earns me my three percent commission.
Only then will I be able to survive.
Did you get me? - You can survive even by cheating people.
Stop blabbering.
Leave that.
Did you demand ten sovereigns of gold
and Rs. 5,000 from Ms. Selma as dowry?
Me?
It wasn't me.
The groom's father made the demand.
Aren't you the groom's father?
Well, if you ask me, if you have to be sure
you have to ask his mother.
You are indeed a greedy fool.
You will spoil the life
of your 16-year-old son by getting him married.
You are responsible for this.
Me? - Of course.
You propagated the message of boycotting dowry.
What if that system ceases to exist by the time he gets married?
Will he get dowry then?
That's why I decided to get him married early.
Do you understand? - Yes, very well.
I have asked Ms. Selma not to give you a single penny.
Please don't do that, Hassanali.
You will not only make me
lose the dowry, but my three percent as well.
That's why.. Do you understand?
Yes, very well. Go away.
Oh, my God!
Mother.
I wish to go home with my kids.
You may go. Did I stop you?
My money.. - Money?
There's no money for you. Get lost!
I will go. But only after I get my money.
That's not possible.
Oh!
What's it, Sheeja?
I have to attend the wedding of Mr. Ummar's daughter, Aunt.
Can you please lend me some of Noorjahan's ornaments?
Sure. Noorjahan.
Noorjahan! - What's it, Mother-in-law?
Give some of your ornaments to Sheeja.
I had promised to give it to our neighbour, Sarala.
What right do you have to give it
to someone else without my permission?
That's not right. Noorjahan promised her already.
I will give her my jewellery. Come, Sheeja. - No.
I want her to obey me.
These ornaments were not bought by her father.
My son bought her everything.
I have a right on them.
This is news to me!
A mother has more right over her son's assets than his wife!
It's okay to say this to her.
Don't repeat this stupidity to others.
Stupidity? Are you saying that I am stupid?
Don't speak nonsense!
Why shouldn't I? You can't do anything.
Don't think you can boss me around.
What amazes me is that you came here asking for her ornaments!
Here is the jewellery. - Here, dear.
I don't want someone else's jewellery! - Dear!
Don't, go dear. - Let her go, Mother-in-law.
She has finally become smart. Don't spoil her.
Do you mean to say that I am spoiled?
You are talking to Ayyoob's mother!
Don't forget that I'm his wife!
You should be the one to remember that.
I know it very well.
Still you choose to disobey me!
I was just telling the truth.
I will take this up with Ayyoob.
Don't think you can scare me by saying that.
I am not Ayyoob's slave.
You are! A wife will always be a slave to her husband!
Why are you laughing?
It's funny to watch you trying
to preach things you couldn't practice in your life!
You said that I'm your son's slave.
My father bought me your son
with the money he gave you as dowry.
Tell me, who is the slave here?
Oh, my God! What is she saying?
What's happening here?
Didn't you hear what she said?
Yes, I did.
I heard you saying that a wife will always be her husband's slave.
Look before you leap!
Sabna is not Ansari's daughter.
She is the daughter of Inspector Abdul Muthalif.
Don't think that you can silence her.
I want my dowry back. - What?
We are moving out.
Dowry? It doesn't belong to you.
I am planning to buy some land with that money.
I'll decide what to do with my money.
You don't have to worry about that.
Your money? Tell me how it is your money.
It's the money I got as dowry.
The dowry you got!
Who brought you up to a position
where you could demand that money?
It was us. Me and your mother.
And here you are, asking to settle your account.
Parents get their daughters married off by paying a dowry
not for the in-laws to lead a luxurious life.
It's not for the wedding either.
It's to build a strong foundation
to secure the future of their daughter and son-in-law.
Why would they hand over the money to us then?
What if they ask it back
after you have spent it lavishly?
We will take care of that.
That's not enough. We are bound to answer them.
Shameer, did you hear?
Ayyoob wants his dowry, it seems!
Why do you want the money now? - I have things to do.
I want to know what it is for.
They just want to splurge. That's all.
Keep quiet. Let him speak.
Why do you want the money now? - I want to invest in a business.
But you don't know anything about business.
What is it to you?
You are jealous of me doing well in life!
I knew you would say this.
None of these is his words.
He is forced to say so. - You better watch what you say.
I don't need to put words into his mouth.
I am not afraid to speak out my mind.
A woman's beauty is her behaviour.
You tend to forget it, Sabna.
Probably this attitude is the result of the immense dowry
you brought to this home.
Nevertheless, I am mindful of what I came here with.
It's best if you keep this in your mind.
The relationship that you have with your parents and siblings
are not by wealth.
Don't forget the value
of such relationships.
What are you waiting for, Mom?
Do you still want to keep his dowry?
Give it to him. Let him use it as he pleases.
I don't mind giving it to you.
However, you'll never prosper!
This is your problem, Mom. You must never curse your children.
Peace be unto the Lord.
Come.
How is the house?
It is great. Lovely!
Saudabi!
Please bring some water.
I could leave if you give our money.
Money? To hell with it! What if I don't?
We will start a non-violent resistance! - Me, too!
Seriously? You would end up at the police station then.
Will you send us to the police station?
Do you think that will happen?
Why not?
Because I am your daughter.
You seem like a typical woman
who comes begging for money once the fast is over.
Is this the time to ask for money?
What's wrong even if you don't get the dowry?
Won't a share of all the wealth reach your hands once we are gone?
Do we have to wait until then?
Do we have to pray to the God for both of you to die soon?
Do you want that?
Don't expect your prayers to be answered soon.
It's no wonder that it was your misfortune
that made Ayyoob and his wife leave this house.
So what, Mom?
A grandchild is coming home soon
to cherish you and father with lots of love. Who would it be?
And that's because of my blessings.
You naughty one! Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I wanted to tell you.
But, the thoughts about the previous incident
kept daunting my mind. - Don't think about it.
That happens to many women.
Usually, abortion happens
in the second or third month.
In my case, it was in the sixth month.
Let's not worry about the past.
Nothing of that sort will happen this time.
You will complete the term and give birth
to a sweet little baby.
Ayyoob left with the dowry.
From where will I get the money now?
Oh, no! My umbrella! Has Ayyoob left?
This is why we must never let an opportunity go by.
I didn't ask for my commission as you said you're out of money.
This is the result if we don't take our commissions on time.
Did you understand? How am I going to find him?
Is there any way to get the money?
Give it to him. Or else, he will complain about it.
Give it..
Peace be unto the Lord.
You there! Here is your umbrella!
Oh! It hit me!
Mr. Ayyoob. - Yes.
There is no other business as profitable as this.
I decided to take you as my partner
as I have plans to expand the business.
I am excited.
I am ready to invest money in your business.
Here comes your uncle! - Strike against not giving dowry!
50th day! - Long live!
Strike against not giving dowry!
50th day! - Long live!
Who did this? Get lost!
Mom!
It's an embarrassment to make sister stay here!
Please give them the money they want.
Where is the money for that?
Ayyoob left with the money we had.
Why don't you settle it if you are so embarrassed?
I was ready for it already.
But brother-in-law is not willing to take money from me.
I am warning you. If you don't send sister and her children back
don't expect me to stay here any longer. I will leave.
Here's your money. Do whatever you want!
What are you waiting for, Father-in-law?
Kindly hand it over.
Can't you take it from me?
He is the guardian of this house.
Also, I am not sure if the money
may not be worth it if I take it from you.
Why don't you give it to him?
Don't leave, Mother-in-law.
Please hear how I am going to spend this money.
I don't want to know anything.
You must know.
The house and land that Mr. Ansari sold to pay Shameer dowry
will be returned to him with this money.
And the rest will be given to the poor girls
who can't afford to pay dowry.
I hope you are okay with it.
She gave our father his dowry! - Grandma! - Let me go!
Here are the property documents of your house and estate.
Hassanali gave me the money.
Did Hassanali pay you? Why?
It's not my money.
It's the money you borrowed from Kunjabdullah to pay mother-in-law.
I took it back from her.
You may collect the property documents.
This wasn't necessary.
That's okay. Please take it.
Here.
Peace be unto the Lord.
Dear! What's wrong, dear?
You seem to panic as if Noorjahan is in critical condition.
Your mother said that she was bleeding profusely.
There's nothing to worry. She will be conscious in a while.
Okay.
Her life might be in danger if this goes on.
What's wrong, Doctor?
There is nothing to worry as of now.
I have explained the rest to your mother.
Give her the medicines once she gains consciousness.
Inform me in case of emergency.
What did the doctor say?
You are in tears. What's wrong, Mom?
Please tell me the matter, Mom.
I am mourning because of your misfortune, Son.
Misfortune?
You are keeping something from me.
What's wrong, Mom?
Why should I hide?
How long can I keep this from you?
Mom..
Please don't be upset.
You are not lucky enough to become a father.
What did you just say?
Noorjahan must never become pregnant again.
If anything of that sort happens
her life will be in danger.
Drink this completely. It'll help you get rid of fatigue.
What did the doctor say?
Didn't you hear what the doctor said?
I lost my conscience soon after he started checking me up.
I don't remember what happened then.
The doctor said that there's nothing to worry.
Sir. - Yes.
Could you please sign this file? - Keep it there.
Do you sell the audio cassettes about Ajmer Khwaja?
Yes, we do. - Could you please play it?
"Prophet Muhammad, the chosen one who showed mercy to all"
"and spread peace all over the world."
Peace be upon him.
"The messenger of Prophet Muhammad, the chosen one"
"in Ajmer, Khwaja Moin-ud-din"
"became the saviour of the fallen world."
Have you heard about the Dargah in Ajmer, Mom?
What's the matter?
Any woman who can't mother a child
will conceive if we offer prayers there.
When I went to Ajmer with friends a few years ago..
"Prophet Muhammad, the chosen one who showed mercy to all"
"and spread peace all over the world."
Peace be upon him.
"The messenger of Prophet Muhammad, the chosen one"
"in Ajmer, Khwaja Moin-ud-din"
"became the saviour of the fallen world."
"Khwaja's grave is holy. Ajmer's grave is holy."
"Ajmer Khwaja, the one who gives resort to the needy."
"Khwaja's grave is holy. Ajmer's grave is holy."
"Ajmer Khwaja, the one who gives resort to the needy."
"Khwaja's grave.."
"The one who unleashed light upon the darkness."
"The Prophet who lived in Medina."
"Allah!"
"Ajmer Khwaja, the one who gives resort to the needy."
"Khwaja's grave is holy. Ajmer's grave is holy."
"His holy words gives"
"solace to the world."
"His greatness rose in India too."
"His holiness is in Ajmer."
"This shrine is the house of hope."
"This shrine is the abode of joy."
"Ajmer Khwaja, the servant of Allah!"
"Khwaja's grave is holy. Ajmer's grave is holy."
"The rich, the poor.. Crores of them"
"who don't have anyone to support."
"Believers who seek comfort."
"Ajmer Khwaja, the one who gives comfort to everyone."
"Khwaja's grave is holy. Ajmer's grave is holy."
"A woman who is incapable of being a mother."
"She prayed for a child at the holy shrine."
"Khwaja.."
"prayed to the God for her."
"She gave birth to a child upon the will of God."
"She came to Ajmer with her dear child."
"She walked around the shrine with her friend in glee."
"It was the day of Eid-ul-Fitr, and everyone was celebrating."
"There were free food and porridge for the poor."
"The woman was standing near the pot"
"of hot porridge with the kid."
"The child fell into the pot."
"Into the boiling pot."
"The spectators closed their eyes. The sky was shocked."
"The mother, like a mad woman"
"rushed to the closed doors of the shrine."
"She knocked the doors crazily."
"She screamed so loud that the world was shocked!"
"Khwaja.."
"Wake up, please."
"Open your eyes, Khwaja."
"Please give my child back."
"Khwaja.."
"Then a miracle happened! Allah is great!"
"Like the moon on a winter night"
"the smiling baby came out"
"from the pot, back to the friend."
"The smiling baby came out from the pot."
"For the poor and the needy"
"Khwaja is a saviour."
"The Khwaja of Ajmer."
"For the tired and the weary"
"Khwaja is a resort."
"The Khwaja of Ajmer."
"Khwaja is a resort. The Khwaja of Ajmer."
"Ajmer Khwaja, the one who gives resort to the needy."
"Khwaja's grave is holy. Ajmer's grave is holy."
"Ajmer Khwaja, the one who gives resort to the needy."
"Khwaja's grave is holy. Ajmer's grave is holy."
"Khwaja's grave is holy."
That must have happened.
Ajmer is a holy place.
We will make an offering to Ajmer. Noorjahan will have a baby.
It might work with women who are not able to conceive a child.
But Noorjahan's case is different.
The doctor has said that she should never get pregnant.
It might cost her life. I don't agree to this.
Accept that it's your fate.
Profit and loss are part and parcel of business.
Don't try to blame me for the losses.
I understand that business will face losses.
But you have cheated me. I mean cheating.
Don't you insult me.
Damn! I will..
Hello. What?
Come.
Do you know the present state of this house, Brother-in-law?
It's been two months since we paid the rent.
Sabna. - No.
I won't hide it anymore.
Let him know everything.
We don't have power as we didn't pay the electricity bill.
We have so many dues to pay.
Are you blaming me for everything?
Didn't I collaborate with him upon your advice?
There's no use of blaming each other now.
Let bygones be bygones.
Come. We shall go home.
No, Brother.
I won't come home
without fixing everything.
Well, manage with this for now.
No. I am not in need of money now.
When you are fed up of your life here
you should come there.
Dad.
Why did you come alone?
Where is Ayyoob?
He didn't come. - Why?
I fought with him.
What for?
He destroyed my life.
Destroyed?
Are you talking about Ayyoob?
Your mom died when you were a kid.
So I pampered you a lot.
When everyone forced me to remarry
I refused it for your sake.
I got you married after paying a huge amount
as dowry to make your life secure.
I fulfilled the responsibilities of a father.
But you did not fulfil
your duty as a daughter.
You became arrogant as you went there
with a massive amount of dowry.
You forced Ayyoob to get the dowry.
You destroyed his relationship with his family.
You tempted him to live a luxurious life.
That is what destroyed everything.
You have put all the blame on him
and have come here now.
A woman shouldn't live with her father after marriage.
But with her husband.
You may leave. - Dad!
There is no use of crying now.
You may enter this house
only when you come with Ayyoob.
You may leave. - Dad!
What a surprise!
Come. - It's me!
What are you doing these days? - Sit..
So much for your hospitality!
Without paying my share of three per cent
you left with your dowry.
That's not fair.
Not fair at all.
You should have talked to my mom about that.
What are you saying? Will your mom pay me?
When I went there asking for money
she told me to get the money from you.
Isn't that right?
You left with your dowry.
Then how can she pay me?
Don't talk nonsense.
How much am I supposed to pay you, Commissioner?
My son told me
that you owe me Rs. 7,600 and 55 Paise.
Well
if I pay you in lump sum
won't you splurge it?
I have prepared a budget to spend the money.
I have to renovate my house
and get some jewellery for my wife.
If I there's any money left
I'll buy a cow. A good breed.
So I owe you Rs. 7,600.
Rs. 400 less than Rs. 8,000. - You are absolutely right.
I shall give you a cheque for Rs. 8,000.
You may get the money from the bank tomorrow.
Okay!
There's a problem.
You must pay me Rs. 400
which is the balance amount.
What are you thinking about?
Don't you have the money?
I will give you the cheque only if you pay Rs. 400 now.
It's not that I don't have the money.
I have saved it for some urgent work.
No matter what you need the money for
just give it.
You will get Rs. 8,000 tomorrow.
You are right.
I shall get my work done with that.
God!
One, two, three, four, five..
That's not needed.
One, two, three and four.
When can I encash the cheque tomorrow?
Tomorrow at sharp 10 a.m.
Is it?
God!
Tomorrow..
It's Rs. 8,000.
You are always lost in thoughts these days.
The thoughts of misfortune
must be making you sad. - Is that a silly issue?
Sabna left this house.
Ayyoob said that he would never return to this house.
You were my last hope.
But God brought you to this condition.
God hasn't destined me the happiness of seeing
my grandchildren before dying.
Why are you crying?
Will the one, who is destined to cry, laugh?
How can I not cry
over Shameer's misfortune?
Even I was thinking of the same when I came here.
Only you can solve this problem.
If you insist, Shameer may agree
for a second marriage. - Mother-in-law!
I also thought about it.
I also feel that this is the only solution
to save this family, dear.
I don't want people to blame me
for ruining the family
by getting the both of you married.
"In the muddled waters of my thoughts"
"dreams formed a canoe."
"My dreams formed"
"a beautiful canoe."
"Why is no one rowing the canoe?"
"Shouldn't we cross these waters?"
"Why is no one rowing the canoe?"
"Shouldn't we cross these waters?"
"Shouldn't we cross these uncharted waters?"
"In the muddled waters of my thoughts"
"dreams formed a canoe."
"Our dreams formed a beautiful canoe."
"A thunderstorm is fast approaching."
"I can't go alone.."
Don't play this song again.
Why are you crying? - For no reason.
Are you insane to cry without reason?
Will you obey me if I ask you to do something?
The doctor has asked me not to give birth to a child.
Other women can do so.
What do you mean?
I mean what you think.
You must bring back happiness
to this family by agreeing to a second marriage.
That will make me happy.
Do you expect me to make your life even more miserable?
Sadness is all that's left in my life anyway.
At least, I can escape from feeling guilty
that you and your family
are in pain because of me.
But I can't do it.
Don't force me into it.
This adamancy of yours
will ruin many lives.
Let it be. I don't care!
Please leave me alone.
If needed, I may have to think about that too.
What do you mean?
The meaning is evident.
What if I go away from you
for the sake of your peaceful future?
Noorjahan!
Don't be so cruel to me.
I also wish to have a child.
But my desire to live with you is greater than that.
Don't drive me crazy.
If you agree to a second marriage
without divorcing Noorjahan
both the wishes will come true, dear.
If you have a child
in your second marriage
Noorjahan can shower the child with her love.
It would make her happy.
I understand you.
But nobody understands me.
It's not that we don't understand you.
You must fulfil the wish
of your parents.
If they are hurt
that sin will kill me.
I won't be able to live in this house with the burden of that sin.
Noorjahan, stop!
Nobody here should be sad because of me.
I will do what you want.
I am ready for a second marriage.
I always wished to get her married to Shameer.
I had tried a lot to make that happen.
But it didn't work out.
The merciful God has now fated
them to be married. - Did Shameer agree?
Of course, he did. - What about Noorjahan?
He can't divorce her.
Sheeja as the second wife.. - Why? Is there a problem?
Not at all. What do you say, dear?
I am ready to marry him.
I knew that.
Shameer means the world to her.
There is a condition.
You must pay a dowry of Rs. 30,000.
And you must give it before the wedding.
Will you take dowry from your brother?
Moreover, this is Shameer's second marriage.
No relation in the world matters when it comes to money.
So there is no issue in taking dowry from you.
What did you say, Kunjaleema? That this is his second marriage?
Even if it were the third marriage
I would have taken dowry!
If you are adamant about it, I am ready to give dowry.
Anyway, she is the rightful heir to my property.
But make sure that Shameer doesn't find out
about the dowry.
He won't.
I heard that you are going to marry again, Shameer.
If that's true
I want you to divorce my daughter.
I didn't marry her to divorce.
I am not ready to make my daughter
your mistress!
She doesn't have to be one.
She will stay here as his wife.
I know what that means!
Ever since she came here
has she ever been happy?
Has there been a single moment when she didn't cry?
Her situation would worsen after his second marriage.
No!
I won't allow her
to rot in this hell as long as I am alive.
Shameer agreed for a second marriage
on Noorjahan's insistence.
I will come with you if that's what you want.
But
don't ask me to get a divorce from him.
Please allow me to have the blessing
of dying as a married woman.
Noorjahan! What did you say?
That you would leave from here?
I didn't agree
for the second marriage for that.
Sheeja will never be happy
if I continue to stay here.
My only prayer
is that she shouldn't ever get hurt
because of me.
If you love me
please allow me to go with dad.
You will never leave with my permission.
Does it mean that you want me to lead
the sad life of a divorcee?
The day when I would have to divorce you
would be the last day of my life.
This immense love of yours
is what weakens me.
Instead of giving me this slow death
if you could kill me at one go
I would die happily.
Noorjahan
these hands that caressed you
can never kill you.
You want to go with your dad.
Isn't that what you want?
You are free to go.
Shall we think it through before making a decision?
No, mister.
I have no more thoughts.
Here.
These are the ornaments that you bought me.
You did what I had in my mind.
I will take your leave, Mother-in-law.
See you, Father-in-law.
Son
I have a suggestion for you
since you agreed to a second marriage.
You could marry Mr. Sulaiman's daughter, Sheeja.
Whichever girl it is, let your wish be fulfilled.

Do you have Noorjahan's consent for this marriage?
Will we conduct the marriage without her consent?
Noorjahan is the one who forced him into this marriage.
She is lying as she is afraid that her son's marriage might fail.
Priest, you must not conduct this wedding, paying heed to her words.
Hassanali, aren't you trying to insult us
by trying to wreck this marriage?
I have no intention of shaming my brother-in-law.
You could have come to our house
if your intentions were good.
I didn't come there intentionally.
I knew that no one would listen to me even if I told you that.
Especially his mother. To be precise, my mother-in-law.
Her ploys and pressure are what drove him
to get remarried.
You better get your facts right.
Shameer agreed to this marriage
only because he wanted a child.
There is no worse sin
than separating a mutually loving couple
in the name of a kid.
Unless Noorjahan consents to this marriage in person
or attests to her agreement in writing
I am not ready to solemnise this wedding.
Please don't leave. Please take your seats.
The wedding will happen soon. Sit down, please.
Please sit down.
Please forgive me.
Why are you crying?
You need not worry about any of this.
Come hell or high water
this wedding will take place.
Don't cry.
Please don't go. Noorjahan will get here soon. Sit down.
Drat!
It's so shameful.
How will I ever face the public again?
What is so shameful about it?
Many weddings go south at the wedding venue.
Nothing such has happened here.
To be truthful to my name
I will ensure that the wedding happens here.
Wait and watch!
No man has ever prospered after deceiving me.
They tried to conduct the wedding without paying my brokerage.
The God is watching over me.
Did you follow?
No, you didn't. I am sure.
How can you be so childish?
There will be a solution to every problem.
Don't worry.
Noorjahan is not well.
Here.
The affidavit granting permission to your wedding.
Now there are no hurdles to the wedding.
Come, we shouldn't waste time.
But there's one more thing.
Before getting remarried, you need to learn the facts.
You are getting remarried
as Noorjahan can't give birth to a child, right?
But she can give birth.
She can give birth to a fully developed child.
Who told you that she could give birth?
I told him!
I have never told anyone
that Noorjahan can never become a mother.
Her uterus is weak.
Because of that, she might suffer from miscarriage
during the fifth or sixth month.
With specialised treatment
that weakness can be cured.
After that
she can give birth to fully developed babies.
Frequent miscarriages
can even prove fatal for her.
I had warned her about this.
My words were misinterpreted
for someone's selfish interests.
Is this the truth, Mother?
Devilish woman!
He is asking you.
Is this the truth?
Come on, answer him.
What are you doing?
Now I realise why you asked me not to make
offerings at Ajmer.
If Noorjahan can give birth to a child
I won't agree to this marriage.
Thanks for halting this marriage until now.
"Let me stay at the stern, and I will come."
"I will take you across the thrashing waves."
"No storm will overturn this canoe."
"I will guard it like the apple of my eye."
"I will guard the canoe like the apple of my eye."
"In the muddled waters of our thoughts"
"dreams formed a canoe."
"Our dreams formed a beautiful canoe."
Crossing every wave, I am here for you, Noorjahan.
I never learned the truth.
Only when the doctor told me did I come to know of it.
Forgive me.
Noorjahan!
Noorjahan..
Noorjahan.
Noorjahan!
"Allah is the greatest."
"There's no God but Allah."
Noorjahan passed away, Father-in-law.
She passed away.
Noorjahan
you breathed your last.
As long as such mother-in-laws are there
women like you will continue to suffer in the name of dowry.
Father-in-law, Noorjahan passed away.
Dear..
Noorjahan can't give birth now.
She can never give birth.
She never can.
She can't. - Son!
Dear..
Dear!
Dear..
Who told you that Noorjahan couldn't give birth?
Who told you that?
Who told you?
Son!
Who is your son?
Tell me who your son is.
I will drag out the answer!
Son! - Son!
Son!
