HEAVE-HO, CARRY THAT LOAD
Three things in this world...
bring tears to my eyes.
Papa's shoe
English exams.
And singer Kumar Sanu's voice.
All painful.
You...
You are the answer to my every question.
You are the heart of all my stories.
Didn't I tell you?
Don't record with headphones. You'll burst your ear-drums.
- What did you say? - What did I say?
The Rishikesh priest asked us to see the girl.
He wants us to come to the temple tomorrow.
Finish the recording today.
What is this mess? Throw this out.
Yes, Papa.
Here's 20 rupees.
Yes, Papa.
Don't let the cows get into the shop.
Yes, Papa.
Jaya! Did you bring the lemon pickle?
Have you got money for the temple?
Prem, get in the back. There's no time.
Hurry up!
Ma, my saree is untying.
I told you to tie it with a pin.
Hold it.
Let your father pass.
Hold your breath in.
Tuck your saree in.
Cover your head. We're going to a temple, not to your college.
I can't find the saree end.
- What are you doing? - Why didn't you oil your hair?
Tell him...
to sit with confidence.
No need to misbehave.
You're our only son, our pride.
Don't chomp on your food. Don't spit when you talk.
You talk as though I'd never seen a girl before.
You want some water?
How far is the temple?
Someone's getting restless to see the girl.
Let's introduce ourselves.
The girl's father, Madan Pal.
The boy's father, Chandra Prakash Tiwari.
His wife, Subhadra Rani.
Boy's mother, Shashi Tiwari.
Boy's sisters, Jaya and Hema and their husbands.
She's my younger sister. Prem's aunt, Naintara.
I think the boy and girl should introduce themselves.
Absolutely.
Sandhya.
Prem, introduce yourself.
You've done it, Papa.
One person missing, Samar. Sandhya's younger brother.
He has exams, so he isn't here
- ls Sandhya educated? - A degree in teaching.
She's wanted to teach since childhood.
She even taught her dolls maths.
Ask him yourself.
She asks if Prem is educated.
Prem has a degree in Commerce.
He's always been keen on accounting.
He's more interested in bank notes than books.
Think it over and tell me.
I already have.
What do you say?
The girl is lovely. Did you notice her good nature?
She didn't speak. You talk of her nature.
Being silent in front of her elders is a sign of a good nature.
So you prefer the girls who waste time in your shop...
recording songs?
You listen! She's a nice girl. That's it.
A nice girl! And her appearance?
What's wrong?
Is she blind, deaf, mute, crippled?
Saw her size? Huge.
You're no movie star, you high school dropout.
It's the food these days.
Your sister put on pounds after she got married.
Her husband still loves her.
They chose each other. What choice do I have?
To hell with your choice.
Your choice will turn your parents into paupers.
Papa, talk to him gently, he'll understand
so, you try.
Listen, son.
If she was attractive, we'd have to buy her cosmetics.
She'll earn money. She's going to be a teacher.
- It'll help us. - I will not marry her.
- That's it - How dare you!
Do it, Prem. For the family's sake
I'll look for a lovely special girl.
Not temporary, someone permanent
I'll look for a big earner, sober and sweet.
Not temporary, someone permanent.
Eyes like a golden fairy.
A magic wand in her hand
I'll look for the perfect bride.
He'll have a bike and a car, good manners too
I'll consider him, that's if he's faithful.
She'll go with me to visit Shimla, Kullu Manali.
But not forget to buy veggies on her way home from work.
That's the one for me
I'll look for a graduate, a lively, cheeky type.
Not a fellow who looks old and grumpy.
He's a man who masters household chores.
No, no ordinary type, you see.
A deluxe model will suit me.
Are you OK?
My head is about to explode.
Take a pill. You'll feel better.
You want to die at your own wedding?
I told you - don't drink milk after Chow mien.
Papa, it's his allopathic meds. He's throwing them up.
No one stops him.
Give him some soda, he'll be OK.
I really like the scent of marigolds.
Welcome.
See how beautiful the room looks.
Prem's aunt hand-picked the flowers.
- Prem loves them - She sneezed.
You have a cold?
I'm allergic to flowers.
We'll get rid of them in the morning.
The room is decorated with a lot of love.
Remove all the flowers.
Where is it?
Don't rush things in bed.
Let her get a job first. Babies can come later.
On paid maternity leave.
You feeling OK?
The bathroom?
Change here.
OK
Wait. I'll go out.
You can come in.
Sandhya.
- A call for you. - Coming, Mummyji.
Hope I didn't wake you.
- How did you get this number? - So, how was last night?
He behaved like a child...
abandoned somewhere.
He slept in one corner of the bed, me on the other.
Listen, I'll call you later. Bye.
Wake the Prince of Celibacy out of his slumber.
Don't talk so loud.
She can hear you.
You worry about being overheard. But not about your son.
Don't blame him. She could've made the first move.
She's arrogant.
Just because she's educated.
She didn't even greet me at the wedding.
Giggled away with her family.
Sure! We aren't in her league.
Why blame the poor girl?
Think of how she must feel.
Our son is work-shy. He's so arrogant.
A boy like him should be taught a lesson.
Good morning, Mr. Groom.
- Where to? - The Youth Club.
The Youth Club will ruin you.
You want to become a freedom fighter. Can't kill a fly.
- We'll talk later. - Wait a minute.
Yes, we'll talk later. Look at me.
Look at me. Well?
You can hit me if you want. I'll do as I please.
One whack will son you. Where's my shoe?
Don't hit him.
How sweet! She's made us tea.
Prem is at the Youth Club. He loves working out, since childhood.
Is your family into fitness?
Only Papa. I do yoga at home.
It shows.
We salute those great men.
The great men who have given us the wisdom of life.
We bow a hundred times to those great men.
Remember the martyr Bhagat Singh.
The leader Subhas Chandra Bose.
Shivaji Maharaj and Vajpayeeji.
Do you think any of these great men lacked focus?
No.
So, let's promise ourselves.
To let their lives inspire us.
To follow in their footsteps.
Of course!
- I have news. Prem is married. - Congratulations!
- That calls for a party - Yes.
Papa is against inviting riff-raff.
I agree with him. I'm against parties too.
So be it!
Study hard, OK?
Give it to Jaya.
- Take care of our Prem - Sure.
Give us a missed call. Ring once, and you ring twice.
Go safely.
I don't know what's happening to me.
So run away.
Who is stopping you?
I couldn't make high school.
The computer course was in English. I'm zero at it.
Papa pushed me into marrying.
And you're saying I must run away?
Mom, it's the first day. Things take time
I woke up late today.
The alarm didn't ring.
No action and you wake up late.
If this goes on, your in-laws will send you home.
Mridula can't keep anything to herself.
God has been kind to you. You married a video tape guy.
Ask him to show you an erotic film.
It'll give you ideas.
Rebel.
Rebel until you find a way out.
I can't rebel. But in the bedroom I can.
It's my battlefield.
If he is a little shy, make the first move.
Pleasing your husband is your responsibility too.
Walk slowly, please
I've finished engineering. Have some sweets.
Prem!
Straight and first right. You'll see Vijay's shop. I have work.
Aren't you coming?
Just take one piece - not the whole box.
You know Vijay. What will I do in a ladies' store?
- See you later - Listen!
Namaste, sister-in-law.
- Will you have some tea? - No, thanks.
Where's Prem?
He's busy.
I need some stuff.
- These bangles are lovely. - Not bangles.
Something like that.
See this.
No. Next to that.
- This one? - The one above.
Sister, show them to her. I have work.
Can I help?
A nightgown?
- Sure. Any undergarments? - Only the nightgown.
It will really suit you.
That's fine.
And this is the inner...
All right. I'll take it.
Tell me when you're done inspecting them
I was looking at their handbags.
Sure you were.
Hey Prem, is that your wife?
Yes.
- You brought your wife shopping? - I'm Sandhya.
That's Pervin.
Very pretty. Visit me some day
I live nearby. Drop by sometime.
- Hurry! - Just shut up and wait.
Tehmina, get my purse.
- Let me talk. - Why do you want to talk to her?
Have some sweets. I've just finished my engineering degree.
Easy. I have to give some to the others.
What was the big hurry? You didn't let me talk.
Why are you getting angry? What have I done?
I am talking to you.
Take me to the government library.
OK, I'll walk home.
- I'm telling you straight. - This is a library.
I don't like talking to people.
Who asked you to talk? I was talking.
What's your problem?
I don't like chatting with all those shopkeepers.
I don't like being interrupted either.
Does it bother you if I talk to someone?
You don't know these people.
When I am alone, they will get after me.
Where's the celebration?
My father was right.
People here like keeping their money locked up.
Sandhya wants to see a film. Papa is setting up the VCR.
She should've got her own TV. Why must we miss the soap?
Nothing happens in those soaps. You won't miss anything
I'm hanging up. Ask Hema to call.
Can I please close the window?
Sure. Lock it.
Listen.
Please close the window.
The window.
Can you set up the VCR?
Are you ready?
"Martyrs' Day."
Aren't you watching?
Not in the mood.
Send the TV back.
- I'll tell Papa... - Why tell Papa?
We'll watch it together.
Put the light off.
Quilt?
Water?
Our child just became a man.
Bless us, Lord.
Where are you going?
I want to share the good news with my daughters.
Tell them tomorrow.
Did you see the whole film?
I don't get tired halfway like you.
I saw it till the end.
Who heats the water at your place?
We have a geyser.
- Did you have breakfast? - No.
How did your exams go?
Maths was tough as usual.
Make sure you pass.
No one in our family has failed. I want top marks.
You talk like your family inherited the world's brains.
She is Prem's aunt.
You leaving?
She's going.
- Let your brother eat. - I've eaten.
They don't eat much. But every grain shows.
It's called metabolism.
My respects.
Where's Prem?
What are you doing? Help her with the luggage.
Give my regards to your father.
Travel safe.
I left a list of songs on the table.
- Record them for me. - If I have the time.
Come on the 4th.
- Why? - Why do you think?
Let's go, Samar.
I couldn't say no to Papa about marrying.
I couldn't stop myself last night.
Domestic life is going to drag me into quicksand.
What can I teach a person who has no will power?
I feel suffocated. What will power do you mean?
Don't live in denial. Just accept the reality.
How can I accept someone I am not attracted to?
How do I look?
Do whatever, you will always look a witch.
Want a slap?
This is my life now.
A gravitational pull is sucking me.
Accept defeat then.
It's not gravity.
The pleasure in bed is pulling you.
Don't be ashamed of pleasure.
It is not pleasure. It's compulsion.
So enjoy your compulsions. Why else are you on earth?
All objects in this universe are drawn to one another.
The law of gravity.
So why do some objects not meet...
and stay fixed in their place?
Although...
they want to reach out to one another, they cannot.
Play.
- From here? - Press.
Listen to the sound.
Son, is this a CD?
A CD - a compact disc. This is the future.
Give up the old stuff.
Listen to the sound.
Really good
I'll get you a good deal. About 150K. Plus a CD player.
How much for this lot?
There are no buyers for this.
Cassettes are only sold as scrap.
No one cares for them.
We'll have to start the business from scratch.
Why can't we get a loan?
I haven't repaid the loan I took for my daughter's wedding.
I told you.
No borrowing money.
Suggest something then.
I suggest you put the radio under your pillow.
Listen to Kumar Sanu's love songs.
We'll manage somehow.
- When do you get Sandhya? - On the 4th.
That's today.
She's waiting for him and he's busy hogging.
Give him more food.
Why don't you call him?
He could call me.
Are you keeping score?
Anyway I'm better than he is.
Papa, please eat.
Samar, come and eat.
Don't give me too much. Leave something for Prem.
There's no need
I'll go check.
Prem, welcome.
We were expecting you.
- God bless you, son. - Get him some snacks.
Hello, brother-in-law.
- Give him a plate - No, thanks
- I have an early start. - Eat something.
No thanks.
Shall we go?
Prem, keep this money.
No, please no.
Take it. It's for good luck.
Keep it. Buy something for me.
Hold on to your bag.
- What's wrong? - I'm hungry.
But you said you ate.
Sit here. I'll sit over there.
Give me some kachori with onions.
You eat onions?
- Yes. But my family don't. - My family eats onions.
Must you go on about your family?
We eat onions. We don't sleep before 12.
What can I do if you all lie?
At least I know something about you now.
You smoke?
And drink. No one drinks in your family?
No.
Don't tell anyone.
Will your father hit you?
I am not scared of anyone.
You're the fearless warrior of the family.
Eat up.
- Want some? - No, thank you.
The threads of endearment...
are entangled in your fingers.
I cannot find a way...
to untie the knot.
My life is like that star...
that passes through the clouds.
You must be a little crazy.
To have chosen me.
How did you hear...
my unspoken words?
What's wrong?
I want some water
I'll get it.
The girls today know everything.
What's good or bad for them.
Good or bad... they also enjoy their youth more.
But what does Prem know?
Weren't you excited when you were young? Wasn't I?
It's their time to have fun.
Need something?
He was feeling hot.
You're shameless! Hush.
Here.
Did you record my songs?
What?
The spices are on the top shelf.
- Sugar and tea down below. - Where's my medicine bottle?
I threw it out. The meds had expired.
You threw it out? I bought it two months ago.
Expired pills are not good for the health.
Don't show off your education. I know what expiry means
I was trying to help.
Why do you keep taunting me?
I asked about my medicine bottle.
If you must, here it is.
Answering back, eh?
We'll talk later.
The way you talk. Making a mountain out of a molehill.
You should be grateful.
Without me...
Prem wouldn't have married a fat girl like you.
As if Prem was some movie star.
If you made him marry me...
you should've taught him how to treat me.
Listen to her!
I was married too
I ran a house, but I never answered back.
Don't talk to your elders like that.
No one cares about me. They only think of themselves.
- What is it? - Ask your dear aunt.
Where are you going?
Just ask me to unpack.
Why did you marry me?
Get my clothes. I'm late.
Here. I'm late.
Greetings.
- Raghubir, what brings you here? - For you.
- What is it? - Sweets.
And an invite.
A wedding invite?
Nirmal's wedding?
Congratulations! Listen, everybody. Prem.
They met at college? So that's what they teach nowadays.
She's a dentist.
Prem got left behind because of English. Otherwise...
Stop it! Call Sandhya.
She is busy. Why call her?
I called out for you.
But Prem took you away.
You must come to my party.
OK
Saying okay won't do.
Sandhya, he won't listen to me, so...
grab him by his ears and bring him there.
Have your tea. It's getting cold.
I told my father-in-law...
to hire a community centre. We'll have 500 guests or more.
A 21-gun salute for my family.
They agreed. Their gift. Made in Japan.
Amazing sound.
What song do you want hear?
- Any song - Which song?
I am a cut from the old matrimonial school.
Prem is the new generation
I fancy matrimony, but my girl's father doesn't fancy me.
Our Youth Club leader said we must avoid domesticity.
Why think now? You're halfway there.
Marrying Deepti is not wrong.
Show her photograph to Prem.
That's Deepti. Fresh as a rose.
Anyway, tell me how's married life?
Can't you tell?
- If Sandhya sees you drinking... - She can go to hell.
Prem, you're drunk. Give me your glass.
Sir, I respect you...
I listen to your advice. Don't say anything now.
Leave me alone.
My father ruined my life. I stood no chance.
None of you help me one bit.
Control yourself, Prem.
Nirmal, my friend. You got it right.
You worked hard. You're a gentleman. I'm illiterate.
And your Deepti - she's perfect.
- She'll make you happy - I know.
No one asked if I wanted a life like this.
Papa hitched me up. We're like oxen under a plough.
Wait, Prem.
Sandhya is a good girl. Looks aren't everything.
Then why show me Deepti's photograph?
Why do you love Suman?
You're like my brother.
Drop in.
She's so fat. I don't feel like touching her.
Sleep with Sandhya one night...
you'll know what hell is.
Stop him!
I'll kill him.
You hit me.
I hit my sister, thanks to you.
Stop him.
Where to?
Let's sit down and sort things out.
Papa has hit him enough.
Prem's father knows what's best for him.
- Take my shoe and beat him. - Never mind, Papa.
It's not his fault. It's yours.
You should've helped him study, instead of getting him married.
Don't go.
What are you doing?
Tell me, will you?
You gave my room to Samar.
No phone. No letter. How come you're back?
I've left Prem. No more questions.
Left him? Are you crazy?
Did he hit you? I'll son him out.
Look! She tore up my school files.
How will I get an A+?
Don't eye my room! I'll fix you too.
Why are you waiting? Call her in-laws.
- Ask her what happened. - Don't dare call them.
Over my dead body.
As if you were sparkling with life. Why are you here?
He does not need me. I do not need him.
He wanted a wife.
He has no manners.
He insulted me in front of the whole neighborhood.
He called me a fat cow, and other things, mother.
But you are a fat cow.
Men are men. They talk nonsense when they're angry.
Why argue with him?
Even if he was rude, you're smart. You should've kept mum.
Kept mum? I gave him a tight slap.
He won't talk to a woman like that for the rest of his life.
This is what too much education does to a girl.
No need for your tears, mother.
Nothing happened. I am intact.
Have some shame.
Be modest in front of your father.
Explain to her.
Listen, women have to...
That's enough.
Please listen.
The warhorse Chetak galloped, setting the earth on fire.
When Chetak rode into the battlefield, the enemy was destroyed.
Now it is time for you to run. Fly with the wind.
Enough.
Time is short and the task is hard.
We have to win.
Sure.
Being sure will not make you win.
Sure.
OK
Use your brawn and brains to win this race.
How?
Hop on, son.
That's it.
This is how you'll win.
Son, get off now
Stan exercising.
Why, sir?
Are they avoiding me?
Nothing of the sort. We're busy preparing for the contest.
Am I not invited?
We wanted to invite you but after what happened.
Yes, sure.
You hypocrite. Lecturing me and licking Nirmal's boots.
Mind your language.
Just because my wife left me, everyone is ignoring me.
Calm down. Let's talk
I know you people.
They're enjoying my predicament.
Stop talking nonsense.
Let go. I'll slap you.
You'll hit me?
Scum.
- Showing me your pretty wife's photo. - Don't drag her into this
I'll drown you.
What's all this?
Go.
He's upset. I'll talk to him
I've had my eye on him.
No unruly boys here.
- He'll be OK - Take him away.
Throw cold water on him.
He's too hot-headed.
Aunty, you don't worry at all.
These days the law is with women.
You should believe in yourself and the power of women.
You know there are many amendments favouring women these days.
Sandhya's case is super strong.
- Will they stay together? - She's talking about divorce.
- Then why is she smiling? - Must she cry?
Water.
Move!
Did you change your surname on your passport, or...?
No.
Did you give any dowry?
Any TV, VCR, sofa scooter, anything?
- Who is giving us a TV? - She asks if we gave anything.
Let me talk.
We spent about 20,000.
Jewelry, clothes, etc.
Madam, we spent very little cash.
- Her jewelry is still with her mother. - In the bank locker.
What about my humiliation? Who pays for that?
Sandhya, that's not how you speak to your parents.
They also want your good Say sorry.
Stop stirring up my daughter. We educated her.
She wants sister to apologise.
- To whom? - To you, for being rude.
Sandhya, don't lose heart, OK?
Just concentrate on your exams.
Aunty, don't take tension.
Divorce is very cool these days.
It's the means to a happy life.
I did not study law.
But I know we had a happy marriage.
I am sure.
Come with me.
Are you drunk?
Don't be stupid. Go, get your wife back.
Like hell. I won't.
I'm won't be a loser anymore. I'll make something of my life.
Good movie lines, that's how film heroes talk.
People like us must live connected to reality
I'll re-sit my high school exam
I will not live with my gloomy family.
Are you nuts? You're a married man.
Your wife will soon be a teacher and you want to carry a school bag?
Look at me.
Don't I dream of becoming an actor? Look at the ham actors today.
My father forced me to live here. I'm wasting my life.
My only hope is that Suman's father accepts me.
Then life is set.
You love Suman, right?
If her father marries her to someone else, would you do nothing?
There's a big difference between reality and the movies.
Do you know the truth of my life?
36B..
"Sister, 36D. The elastic is strong and long-lasting."
Dog! Siding with my enemies. I'm better off alone.
Do as you please.
- Saraswati Coaching Centre? - Yes.
I want to re-sit the high school exam.
Show me your certificates.
She's made bland food.
Don't interrupt. Let me see the recipe.
She'll make us sick, dieting
I won't stop you. Eat what you like. This is for me.
This is the last straw. First she left her husband.
Now she's dividing the kitchen.
- What are you cooking? - Poison. Want some?
No. You go ahead.
Papa?
- A new CD shop is opening. - Whose shop is it?
It's here.
- Isn't this Nirmal's shop? - Let's see.
How can one market have two recording shops?
Is this Nirmal's shop?
Yes, it is.
When does it open?
The opening ceremony is over.
We're in trouble.
What will happen to our business if you open a music store, Nirmal?
You have everything.
A decent wife, too.
He misbehaved at the Youth Club. I came because of my father.
Be polite, Nirmal.
Don't act pious, Nirmal. It took you no time to ruin us.
Have pity. His wife dumped him.
Not surprising.
You got him married to that hippo against his will
I'll break your head.
See how he behaves!
- Think before you talk, sister. - What did I say?
The shop is our bread and butter.
We are not here to do charity either.
You must be happy. Bankrupting others.
You're just jealous. Jealous of our success.
Success? My foot!
We know your father paid a bribe to get you into college.
Who is stopping you from using your brain cells?
The only thing that's free is whining. That's all you do.
Stop taunting me.
Have some cake first.
It's her birthday. Some respect.
Happy birthday.
Happy birthday
I'll give you a chance to save your shop.
Take part in the wife-carrying contest.
Win and the shop is yours.
Nirmal, don't talk rubbish.
This is too much.
I'm serious.
You'll never learn. Go, open your shop!
We have 15 years of experience recording tapes.
If I was married...
- I'd take part in the contest. - Naina, keep quiet.
That's enough from them.
Take part in the wife-carrying contest
I will not. Let my father carry you.
You will carry your wife and run.
It's your birthday, but don't talk rot
I have told him. He'll run
- I won't - Yes, you will.
Has she gone senile?
Haven't we been humiliated enough?
What's wrong?
Why is she lying down?
- She tripped - How come?
Are you OK?
What's wrong?
The divorce notice.
The bet is off.
No.
Yes, we get it.
Hurry! The judge is leaving.
Hope I don't leave this world before him.
What is it?
I'll sit in front.
- What shall I do? - Take my hand.
Push me.
Going to bring the girl back?
You must wish us bad luck, right?
Drive carefully.
Sinister man. He curses everyone.
Your sister's husband went to the mountains looking for God.
Pervin's husband is in jail.
The bra seller can't convince his girl.
And Prem has a divorce notice.
Chant in the name of your mother, not God.
She keeps talking nonsense.
What did I say wrong?
There'll be lots of crying.
Stay calm.
So cry once and for all
I'm very proud of you, Sandhya
ls everyone here getting divorced?
- Is that right, Prem? - It's a divorce court.
Stop talking.
Is there anything I should know?
- What's that?
No need to beg Sandhya. Papa will carry you and run.
No way.
Why is God punishing us?
A disaster.
Don't cry. We're the guilty ones.
Who wants a "divorced" sign outside their house?
Look what happened to me.
Sandhya Varma, Prem Prakash Tiwari. Divorce Petition.
Tiwari is accused of insulting Sandhya Varma in public.
Hurting her physically and emotionally.
She asks the court to grant her divorce.
The Tiwaris must pay a divorce settlement of 50,000 rupees.
But she filed for divorce. Is it mutual consent?
Yes.
Was it a love marriage?
Just a marriage, no love.
Then why did you marry him?
I liked him.
And you?
Financial pressure. Sandhya would teach and earn.
Papa wanted a bride who earned a salary.
So I agreed.
Anything happened... kisses, intercourse, etc?
- I won't discuss private matters. - He loves humiliating me in public.
- Hitting me made you proud? - I am ashamed of that.
- You humiliated me. - As though you didn't do the same.
And what's this ridiculous settlement demand?
- Don't you know our situation? - What about me?
Did you think before slapping me?
Quiet, please!
Do the family members want to say anything?
Your Honour, what can I say?
You're wise. Misunderstandings are commonplace.
That doesn't mean separating. Just come home.
Prem's father and I fought too.
Once I added extra salt in his mother's food.
He hit me hard with his shoe. But I didn't leave home.
Am I talking Greek? I'm asking her to come back.
Do only men have the right to talk? Must we just cook and clean?
This is your chance. File a case of domestic violence.
Discuss your emotional matters outside the court.
As per the Marriage Act, the court asks you to live together for 6 months.
If matters are not resolved by then...
the court will approve the divorce papers.
Sandhya, come back. We're pleading with you
I'll get my room back.
Forget the law. Just come back.
- Ask him to say sorry. - Prem, come here.
The one who slapped first, apologises first.
Who insulted me in public? Apologise!
All right
sorry.
She's your new mother. You'll look after her now.
Hold this.
Please come.
I'm already feeling better.
The time has come to carry your personal load.
Right here in the heart of Rishikesh.
All husbands! Flex your muscles.
All wives, lose some weight.
The winner gets 10,000 rupees.
"Heave-ho, carry that load" The wife carrying contest.
Can I say something?
It's not "of" Monday. It's "on" Monday.
And we say "in" August. Not "on" August.
The preposition is used differently.
Why did you touch my book?
I was just...
But why? Don't show off your education.
OK. I know you're very smart. I know nothing.
I'm a fool and uneducated.
But stop putting me down.
Listen, bear with me.
Better we accept the farce happily
I'll go in six months.
"In" and not "on."
Leave this in room 12
I am a student... Roll Number 317.
- Take a seat - Thank you.
Dear Teacher...
I am 25 years old.
This is my third attempt at the English exam.
My father was right. I'm a loser.
My struggle to make something of my life ends here.
If you feel any pity...
or this letter moves you, or your eyes moisten...
or if you're unmoved and want to throw away my letter.
Or give me a zero.
Remember you are zeroing the fate of a family.
Today I accept...
that I have failed my family, my wife...
and myself.
Prem Prakash
Stan serving.
Give Prem some of this tasty steamed food.
Why the long face? Sandhya has made a delicious meal.
We'll eat together.
- I am not hungry. - We've been waiting for you.
Papa closed the shop early today.
Have you already eaten?
You're drunk?
Freshen up. He is coming.
I must say boiled vegetables taste delicious.
Spices cause acidity.
Sandhya has made great food.
Lentil broth.
- It's really tasty. - I forgot to add carom seeds.
It'll taste even better tomorrow.
- It's fine - Have more then.
Let Sandhya have the cottage cheese.
No, Papa. Let him have it.
Eat up.
I was thinking - Prem and Sandhya should partake...
in the wife-carrying championship.
Great idea.
No, Papa.
It's embarrassing. It's too strange.
What's strange about it?
Prem's father carried me and ran four times.
That's another thing we didn't win.
Prem is very keen to participate in the contest. Right?
Sure. Why do you think that I brought her back?
He's always had a sense of humour.
See that?
Couldn't you have played along and had your meal?
I can't pretend.
You all know the tricks.
You must know me by now.
I know nothing of the world.
You must think I am blighted.
- Come here. - What are you doing?
My family's affections are a sham. Lies!
They are eating what they prefer.
We were hungry.
It's my fault. I tricked her into coming back.
She'd run the race, save our shop, get a job too.
It's all my fault.
Let me end my life.
- What are you doing? - I'll kill myself.
You've been sweet-talking Sandhya, she doesn't care about us.
Where are the matches?
Sandhya, diet or exercise... makes no difference.
Someone will love you as you are.
It's all a sham.
The whole neighborhood can watch me burn.
Where are the matches?
Prem Prakash Tiwari - Roll No. 317.
What happened?
Well, he wrote his English exam in Hindi.
He had planned to commit suicide.
This is all family matters. It's OK.
Suicide? He couldn't even kill a mosquito.
Did you really want to kill yourself?
Did you really love me?
You never gave me the chance.
To express myself or to feel.
I am unworthy of being loved.
You know...
I was very keen on marriage.
But no one told me what marriage really is.
As if anyone told me. I was misled too.
Be smarter the next time.
Will you invite me to your wedding if you found someone?
Who will marry me?
I'll find you someone...
who loves and respects you, cares for you.
That's what I thought you'd do
sorry.
It's all right
I'll find you someone you are not ashamed of.
Who doesn't brag about her education.
Where's a girl like that?
As if there were dozens of suitors for me.
Papa, let's sell the shop.
Your call. You wanted a music shop.
I'm off, aunt.
- Bless you - Wait.
I'm coming.
See that?
They wanted you back for their selfish reasons.
A team spirit is needed.
True. We aren't a team nor are we as one.
Never mind.
Listen.
Best of luck.
Go straight.
Namaste.
Sandhya Varma?
Documents, please.
My file? I had it with me.
You came for an interview and forgot your papers?
I can't understand. I had the file.
Can I come back tomorrow?
The interview is for today, not tomorrow.
Namaste.
You forgot your file.
Your file.
Who is he?
My husband.
Your husband?
MY Papers.
Quite impressive.
Have you gone through them?
We have no vacancy here.
But there's a job in Meerut.
If your family allows you, you could work there
I'll persuade them. Don't worry.
- Is it possible? - Yes
12 feet.
Business is bad
I've been saying that for a while.
I know. Put the shop on sale at once.
Inform us soon.
"Wife-carrying contest"
I've made your song tape
I've left the tape here.
Welcome.
Did you hear about the interview?
No.
I'm sure you'll get the job.
How do you know?
I just know.
May I say something?
You can leave whenever you feel like.
No one will stop you.
My family is jinxed.
There is no point suffering on our account.
Think about your future.
OK?
It'll turn out fine.
I have the job.
In Meerut.
So you've decided?
There's no one here to stay for.
There are very few buses to Meerut from here.
If someone wants to see me, they'll find a way.
Have you lived alone?
No.
Never had a broken marriage either.
I am Siddhesh, your husband's brother.
Yes? How come you thought of me after so many years?
Sister-in-law? Sorry, I didn't recognise your voice. Bad news.
Your husband has died.
He went to the Himalayas on a pilgrimage. He died in a landslide.
He died the day he left me, 15 years ago.
Can you come for his last rites?
What connection do I have with your family anymore?
Did he ever call or write to ask if I was dead or alive.
I thought I should at least inform you.
Who was it?
Siddhesh.
What did he say?
I am a widow
I've been a widow for years anyway.
Meaning?
Greetings, uncle.
Where's Prem?
Are you ready for the race?
As long as you race when you carry my funeral pyre.
What's wrong?
That's enough.
Come.
Can I come in?
The door's unlocked.
Vijay came to take you for the race.
Your Papa told him to go.
Look, I never got a chance...
to be a wife.
To have a family. I've just lived as a widow.
This is your time. You both should make the most of it.
No one is running in that race.
What's the use?
Thinking of what's useful has done nothing for us.
Doesn't matter if you win or lose. Do it for yourselves.
Forcing never achieved anything.
He doesn't want to.
As if you do.
Why ask if you don't want to race?
Haven't we lost enough face in the town?
We've lost everything.
Nothing left to mock.
If there's nothing to lose...
then why not run for yourselves?
Can't you carry me?
Of course I can.
I didn't go to the Youth Club for nothing.
Shall I ask your mother to phone your sisters?
Why not?
"Heave-ho, carry that load!"
I'll be back.
You're here!
I've signed you on.
Our honour is in your hands.
God bless.
Make sure you win.
Don't pressure us. It's enough that we're running.
Why are you negative?
Look who is here.
Can you carry her, Prem? Or do you need your Papa's help?
Well, sir?
- What are you doing here? - To hell with...
my father and her father too.
We got married this morning.
Well done!
Brothers and sisters.
The time has come to shoulder the responsibilities of marriage.
Let's see who makes it to the end.
You'll face many obstacles.
Who will win 10,000 rupees?
To inaugurate this race we have with us the voice...
that has captured the heart of millions.
I request Kumar Sanu to ring the bell and start the race.
One...
Run, Prem Prakash Tiwari!
Open your eyes, tie your shoelaces.
Fire your breath like a bullet.
Be careful.
Both feet in one Tyre, then the next.
It's not easy.
If you were in my place you'd know.
Hold tight.
I knew the Youth Club leader was a fraud.
The flying horse was no help.
Prem Tiwari and Sandhya Varma...
are advancing slowly.
You look good together.
- You too - Can you talk later?
You never learn.
Run like a true man, kick up a dust storm.
Will you make it?
Aren't I doing OK?
- Don't let go. - I won't. Look ahead.
Scale all walls, cross all rivers.
- What's wrong? - It tickles.
OK?
Are you OK?
Deepti.
- Here - I'm hurt.
You crazy?
- Hurry - What the hell?
What happened?
- What's so funny? - Just look at you face.
As if you looked lovely.
If people are jealous, so what? No need of modesty.
If anyone tries to sneak away, show him up.
The thing that knows no end, soak forever in that madness.
The ground trembles wherever your foot treads.
I don't want to leave. Keep me with you.
There! The winners of this year's contest...
Prem and Sandhya.
Looks like they're not done yet.
My heart was never as carefree as now.
Like a letter...
that found a new address.
We walk on empty roads.
With our eyes closed.
Ending up in a faraway place. Aimlessly.
The threads of endearment...
are entangled in your fingers
I cannot find a way...
to untie the knot.
I don't care about my tears.
But there is someone whose tears I cannot see.
Sandhya.
Now you will see a song composed by Anu Malik.
Lyrics by Varun Grover.
Sung by Sadhana Sargam and Kumar Sanu.
