You say your piece I speak my mind You say a few words to which I add my bit Good day to you. - Good day. Hello sir. - Hello. Master, shall we leave? It's raining cats and dogs... that is why I suggested it. This dam is a hundred years old. Of the English times. - That is why it's still standing. But it won't last much longer. Last year too it barely managed to hold the water pressure. This year we'll have a good monsoon. I mean to say this year the dam must be repaired. In order to repair it we must let out the water. We can make a hole in the north and drain the water. No! Our fields lie that way. This will ruin our crops. If the dam breaks, the village will be destroyed. Vishnu Pratap's fields too are on that side. Don't worry about my fields. The village should be safe. What do you say, Virendra Pratap? I don't accept it. - Tell him I'll reimburse his loss Do you think we're beggars? Giving us alms! Rudra Pratap, he means the village welfare... Don't keep harping on that. Where were the villagers when I was ill treated? When our home caught fire Nobody came to douse the fire. You are an engineer. Find another way to save the dam. My fields should not be touched. Uncle, let's leave. All of you go or I'll slaughter you! Each is the opposite of the other. Neither will they co-operate nor will the village benefit. You are right. - Let's go. Go and ask if he needs something. Left to himself, your master won't ever ask for water. Go... - If I ask, as usual he'll refuse. Sir, do you want water? Has your mistress taken her medication? Knew it. Mistress will ask about your food and you about her pills. Nobody inquires about me. Shall I get you hot milk? No. Do me a favour. Get Rohit. Saturn is in a volatile mood. Where...? - And Jupiter is in the lower house. How can there be peace of mind? That is why we called you over. You give us the solution. I offered the solution 5 years ago. But sir always rejects it. You must take my advice. Celebrate your 60th birthday. Invite the relatives and appease the 9 planets. The activity in the house will make your sickly wife feel better. That is right. Accept this suggestion at least for the sake of the mistress' health. Very well. Invite everyone. Keep this bottle. And biscuits. Call me the moment you reach. Everyone would have come except for you. What will they say? That you're not bothered. I'm not his blood relative. Why do you say that? Nobody will think anything. Everyone knows I'm here for father's work. Anyway don't worry. I'll get there soon. Okay. - Mangala and you will be there. The guard has signalled for the train to leave. Keep the ticket. - Yes. Where is Mangala? Where were you? - The pills before breakfast. And the capsules after meals. Is that understood? I'll do that. Now make a move. How can the train leave without me? - Go on! What is the matter? Why is the sugar cane not ripe? Must be good enough for you to eat. You're right here? - Yes, I'm here. Get the cane before Naina comes. - I knew it. I got the sugar cane from the field. Grandpa! Take off your watch. Remove your watch. Here... - I got you a new watch. Wow... - Like it? Very nice but why did you have to spend so much money? Not my money. Daddy paid the bill. Miss Doctor, have you completed the medical course? Chotu went from Class 1 to 2 to 3 and now to 4! But Mangala hasn't completed her studies. It takes 5 years to complete medical studies. Don't bluff me. If one studies hard, a year or two is enough. This is the result of pampering her. Grandpa, actually Govind is right. What? - You have spoilt me. How come? - By always giving in to me. Now what do you want me to do? I have an idea! Hey, listen everybody Lets get grandpa and grandma married on his 60th birthday. Terrific! - Did you hear that? Let's print cards and invite everyone. We'll have great fun. Have a band and fireworks! That's wonderful! Sing songs for them, my grandma... the bride... Shut up! What is it? - For the dogs... Grass...? Will my tigers eat grass? Get mutton. Father... breakfast. Feed the dogs and shut them up. Why are you making a noise? So that we don't hear the noise they are making. That's the music of happiness not noise. The master and mistress of that house are getting married again! The old couple are almost in their graves. And want to get married! They will die the moment they complete the ceremonies. Mother, I'll keep the ornaments in the box. Mother, missing brother Inder? It's been 25 years. Do you still miss him? Yes, my dear. Humans leave but their memories stay back. Just as this chain is locked in this box for 25 years... Similarly his memories are locked in my heart. I wish I could see Inder's family once. Just once... Your adamant nature has made the mistress so unhappy! 25 years have passed since that incident. Spit out that anger now. The mistress wants to see Inder's family once. The man who crushed the peace and honour of this family... Why does the mistress love him so much? The poor soul is no more. Don't abuse him. When he is no more, whom do you want to see? Our son is no more but aren't his kids our kids? They weren't so far. What's special overnight? So far there was just a hope to live. But now I feel I might die without seeing them. Mother... listen... Govind, go... Cable them in Bombay. Childhood lies behind us. Youth stands before us. Today we will be separated. And nobody knows where we will be tomorrow. I'm crazy I will steal all your hearts I am crazy I will steal everyone's heart Who knows... Who has any inkling... Who knows or has any idea... Where and on what path... I am crazy enough to steal your hearts I miss the days of spring And the college festival, Malhar We'll miss the fight in the canteen And making out in the library Beautiful and young... Breath-taking girls They loved me All the good looking girls Behind the hostel window I'll miss waiting for you The style... The elegance... The style of elegance... The blush and the flush... I am crazy I will steal all your hearts Stars glittering in the eyes The light guides us to our destination Gradually raising hopes Making one forget the way Some are bold Some worry Nobody knows what the future holds in store Some might earn name Somebody might become a star Now begins... Now we embark on the journey of life May you be happy. Where are you going? Don't tell him. Guess... Varanasi? - No. Vaishnodevi? - Absolutely wrong. We have no relatives who might invite us home. Ask mother about that. I'm asking her but you keep butting in. Mother, where are you going? Not me alone. All of us. But where? - To your grandpa's! Grandpa's...? After so many years, he has sent a letter. He's called us to the village. But... when? - By the evening train. Brother! We've come from Bombay. Welcome... The luggage will come in First you come in. Come in. Mistress... get up. Take a look at who is here. It's the Bombay guests. Deepa, isn't it? In what class are you? In the eighth. May you live long. And you, Abhay? I've completed law. You mean engineer? - No, lawyer I knew it. My Inder wasn't fated to see the joys of his kids' success. What are you doing? You insisted of getting them here and now you cry. Didn't the doctor say you must remain happy. Didn't he say so? Show them to their room. - Follow me. Come... - Go... - Good night. Daughter-in-law... This is your house. Be happy. I wish we'd met when Inder was alive I'd have given you some other blessing. But it was God's will. The journey must have tired you. Such a long journey. No problem, you can rest. I'll serve you a good breakfast. Such a breakfast that... Your grandfather just woke up. That is why he... He will be fine in the morning. Please rest. We won't stay here. We'll go back in the morning. Mother, what is the point in inviting and then humiliating us? He hasn't called us out of love. He called us for the sake of his ailing wife. His ailing wife is your grandma! And he is your grandfather. Your father's parents. We're not lacking anything. We have a huge void. We have no elders. Mother... As long as your father lived, he tried... Somehow your grandpa's anger be assuaged. He wanted you to be close. But... son, now this is your responsibility. Somehow you must fulfill your Daddy's desire. Respecting elders does not make one small. The anger of the elders is only at the surface There's a lot of love underneath. Yes. I felt goose bumps when grandma held my hand. And your eyes too were spilling. No such thing happened to me. Don't make up stories. What a machine. No brush or blade or soap or water... Tell your grandson to give me the machine when heroes back. I'll use that machine to shave you. Where are you? Focus on the job. - Excuse me... Who is this pest? I am dead!! Saved. It was a table not a wall clock. Looks like she hasn't had a bath for 5 days. She's taking so long! Good morning, kids. What...? - Get in line. Line...? Isn't there another bathroom? - Sure, inside the house. That's only for ladies. But you are kids. You can bathe outside. - A lady might watch! These kids are real smart. What are you doing? This is terrible. The person inside will take at least 5 minutes That means 20 minutes. Life sucks. Let's play till the person gets out. The train. The train moves... The station in between asks it to halt. Halt. - What happened? We're at the station. Game's up. Foul! I was right at front. Okay, you win. I give up. What's that there? That's a bathroom. - Why didn't you say so? It doesn't have a latch. I'll sing my way through. What were you doing for 90 minutes? I didn't take that long. I'll show you when you get out! Who is singing in breathless style? The guy from Bombay. Sundari, don't go... - Why are you yelling? He'll be screaming. What's wrong? Saw the Bombay boy's face? Everything but his face. His face was covered with soap. He's coming out. Hi, elder aunt. Grinding lentils? I'm the younger one. I'm confused because we're meeting for the first time. Don't dirty your fingers. - No problem. We're family. Anyway I enjoy doing this. Do you know I actually wanted to run a hotel? Accidentally I became a lawyer. Tell me, why do you grind on this stone when you have a mixer Because your grandfather likes fried puffs ground on this. Hurt your finger? I got a small bruise and you got worried. When there is love in your heart, why didn't you talk to me last night? Nobody was talking to you so I also kept silent. Finished grinding? I'm getting it. Give it to me. I'll take it in. This lovely aroma can't be of the fried puffs. I'm sure it's the smell of your fingers. Shall I keep it here? She has lovely hair. Is your husband old fashioned? No. You've tied one braid. Two plaits would suit your face cut. Yes, I'll look funny with 2 plaits at my age! Age has nothing to do with braids. You have such great hair. Please turn around. I'll braid it for you. - You...? You'll braid it? - Sure. Turn around. Actually I wanted to become a hair stylist. Accidentally I became a lawyer. You have lovely hair. But you must use shikakai. They will turn silky I'll get it for you. Now your husband will be spell bound. May I have a dance? Keep this hair style. So this is how you fry puffs? Good grief! I forgot because Abhay was braiding my hair. You're a little girl to have 2 plaits That's what Abhay said. Is this any age to wear hair like this? She didn't pay heed. Said she had silky hair... Did I say that? - No, I did. Let's not fight over it. Get the puffs. The kids are hungry. Honestly, elder people feel envious of younger ones look younger You look like Aishwarya Rai. Now I won't get conned by you! I know you are intelligent. That is why we'll get along. What's up? I was plucking flowers for prayers. Who is that? - Praying to God. Back home in my Bombay, the vendor gets it home. Your Bombay? For how much did you buy it? I didn't mean that. - Don't act smart here. I am the boss here. Without my permission, nobody can touch a leaf. Get it? And where is your brother hiding his face? He's not to be seen. Turn around. He'll be in front of your nose. Got stuck? I have an arresting face. Like a heap of cow dung! She's so vain! As if it's her Pop's house. Not hers. It's our Pop's house. What does she think of herself? Who is she? - The daughter of Dad's friend. She's been coming here for years so grandpa loves her. Watch how I set her straight. Beware. None of you will go to him. Our party will be separate. You don't have to say it. We'll live and die with you. After all you are our captain. You guys do the fielding and you bowl to me. You do the fielding. I'll bowl. Playing fiddle sticks? - No, cricket. Don't you know the difference? Without an umpire, it can only be fiddle sticks. As far as cricket goes, it's an international game with rules. You know a lot about cricket? I wanted to become a cricketer accidentally I became a lawyer. Do you have cable TV? Our match was telecast live. Sachin was with us. You must have hit fours. A few sixers too. Fool your Bombay townsfolk. It won't do here. All right. Bowl to her. Let's see how many sixers she hits. Let's see how she plays. Give me one! Have you no shame bribing? - It's chocolate not bribe. Give me more! Now will you let me play? Just play? Keep giving us chocolates, we'll make you Captain. You just made me Captain. Now we'll make you umpire. Would you sell your soul for chocolates? I won't play with you! Then go away. She's leaving in a huff. What is her name? Sounds like a jungle Call her once, Wild Mangala. Work fast. Brings a whole tin to borrow a spoonful of sugar! May I borrow some sugar? A little? Take it. Take the tin full like usual. - Sure. Grandma, what a name you've given me! What's wrong? - Nobody has old fashioned names. It's my name. Your parents love me so they gave you my name. Does this sound nice? It neither sounds good nor it is easy to say. My parents had no sense but what about your parents? Don't speak about your parents so derogatorily. And don't say a word about my late parents. That Abhay has got everyone on his side and teases me! Wild Mangala! The teasing has started? This later turns to love. That's what happens in films. You keep saying, this girl brightens up the house. You won't want to send her away from here. I suggest you get her married to your grandson. The girl will stay at home. He resembles cow dung! Why don't you marry him? I'd love to but my husband is cruel. He'll kill me. I'm the one who hit the shot. What a shot. - The ball went there. How will we play? Who will get it? I'll get it. Our ball came here. I'm Vishnu Pratap's grandson. I've come from Bombay. Are you Inder's son? Yes. I came in without permission. You probably don't approve. No! Leave my arm! Keep a cool head. No need to get furious. The ceremony will be at the temple across the river on Ram Navami. I suggest you go there with the family and offer cloth to the priest. On your return, celebrate your 60th birthday. The fifth day after that is very auspicious. You can perform the wedding ceremony then. After 12 days? - Yes. Son, do you have a problem after 12 days? No, father but I might have to go to the city for some work. Doesn't matter. You fix up everything. Right, I'll do that. Give the priest Rs. 101. - Yes father. I only have 500 notes. I too don't have change. I have it. Here... Give the priest Rs. 501 Grandma is getting married! Grandma, your wedding date is fixed! You're getting married now? My mother married long ago. My mother got married before I was born. This is grandpa's wedding because he's completed 60. His 60th. Where are the remaining 59 grandmas? What's going on? These days everyone thinks he's a doctor I asked him to rub some balm. My foot is aching. This ache is due to age. The other leg too is as old Why isn't that aching? I just said wild not miserly. Why do you keep troubling the poor girl? Who? - Mangala. - She's no poor girl. She's frightful I'll apologise if you want me to - Forget it. Get it over with... - Listen... Scoundrel! I'll kill you! Leave him! Leave him alone. His staff fell off. He apologised to you. Yet you kept hitting him. What is wrong with you? - Leave me! Inder Pratap's son is in the village. I would have killed him that very day but uncle held my arm. Even if I have to attack slyly, I won't be at peace till he's dead Stop it. The sound is driving me nuts! Thanks for telling us you are nuts. Going for a movie? In the village one must try the bullock cart. Isn't the tractor a village vehicle? Right, brother. Going for the matinee or 3 o'clock show? The matinee show. At this speed you won't make it for the evening show. Those who want to watch the matinee, join me. We have place for one more. I don't go with shameless men. But I do. Don't delay us. We'll miss the movie. Join us fast. She has come! Had to come after the fuss. Don't be under any illusions. I'm here because it's my grandpa's. I never said it belongs to your husband. My husband won't drive tractors - Does he drive a lorry? Hush, don't' say that. I'm in the driving seat It will appear as if I... You're my husband! If you were, I'd mix poison in your tea. I'd joyfully drink the tea if you were my wife. Hold on kids, I'm increasing the speed. Just as the tractor is grandpa's... I too belong to him. You may hold on to me, nobody will bat an eyelid. Hold me. - Find another. Hold on. Brother's cap! Switch off the engine. They're wild animals. They'll crush you if they get mad. Why are you pushing me? This armrest is mine. - Where should I keep my arm? There's another that side. Should I keep this arm there? Keep it on my shoulder. Shameless! Listen, the boy behind is kicking me. Sit straight or I'll break your leg! Tell me if he repeats it. Sit here. Come to my seat. - Yes brother. Are you in a garden? - Red cap, sit down! What's your name? What a great name. Know her name? She didn't ask for my name. - So what? Where are you from? - Bombay. I'm also from there. This poor girl is from the village. She didn't ask. - So what? Now she's left the village and stays in a city. She has also learnt English. Where do you live in Bombay? What? When will you come there to meet me? The joke wasn't' so funny. But you didn't answer her When will you go? I want chocolate not ice cream! You don't get chocolate here. Shut your mouth and eat. How will I eat if I shut my mouth? I'll give you the chocolate. Give me the comb. - Here. Abracadabra... How did you do that? You always carry chocolates in your pocket to bribe kids. You don't believe me? You have doubts? Give me something of yours. Give me your bracelet. - Why? Because I will... turn it into sweetmeat. All right. Here you are. Abracadabra. Fresh for all of us... - Give me some. Everyone eat some. This tastes just like a sweetmeat. We want more. Give him your ring. I understand everything. Return my bracelet. That turned into a sweet and we all ate it up. Your sweets. I asked for 4. Your brought only 3 I knew it. We're home. What happened? What is the meaning of sleeping here? Meaning man can sleep on a sack when he is tired. Is this Mangala's bracelet? Yes... I found it downstairs. Mangala said you took it to show some magic trick. Yes, just like that. You're falling in love with her. Mother... - Look, already your grandpa is annoyed with us. If he finds out, it will be bad. I hear he's finding her a groom in his near relatives. Who could be closer to him than us? Sweets... - You should have told me. It's not my birthday I want my bracelet back. What bracelet? - The one you took last night. That was no excuse. In front of you I turned it into a sweet. Was it sweet? - Yes. Now I'm giving you sweets. Please return my bracelet. This sweet can't turn into a bracelet. I'll get a sweet from the same shop. - That won't do. We need the same sweet you ate. God, save me from her! Please iron my pant and shirt fast. He's gone there again. Where? - The latch less bathroom. Go there. - Yes!! Give me the pant. I'll show you a free show. Have fun. Listen, your pant is torn. Today I've come for oil. Your pant is torn. Your pant is torn! Your pant is torn! Don't you understand what I'm saying? Go ahead. - Pant is torn. Your pant is torn! Your pant is torn!!! What were you saying? What? What were you saying? Everyone is mad. His pant is torn. Look, his trousers are torn. Hanuman took Rama's ring and went to Mother Sita... Yes? - Took your medicines? Before or after dinner? After dinner. I've taken it Naughty boy! Addressing me by my name! But didn't I sound just like grandpa? Absolutely. Yes? - Did you take the medication? Yes. - Before or after dinner? What's wrong? - He asked me in the same tone. Who? - There... Why did you burn Abhay's jeans? First he teased me. - So what? He has the right. He's the real heir And you are the grand daughter I adopted. You don't know what proposals he's getting. You say something I say something Lets share joys and sorrows Lets share joys and sorrows We'll give love to each other Give our lives for each other Never shall we part Let's always be together The night of our union... A smile on our lips we walk hand in hand The night of our union... A smile on our lips we walk hand in hand We have to live for everyone Never leave the path of truth Never shall we part We'll always be together Our dreams have been fulfilled We are coloured in the colours of happiness Our dreams have been fulfilled We are coloured in the colours of happiness She settled in my heart and spread her fragrance Never will we part What a photo Show me too. Don't you dare show it to anyone! Return it to me! This isn't right. Where are you going? Please don't go in! Where are you going? I'm right here. - You'll get hurt! Look at this. Such a good picture of father. And you eating puffs. I have your picture, eating flour. I was checking salt not eating dough. That's an old excuse. Here's grandma's picture, she looks so beautiful You turned out to be a good photographer. It's true. - Are they really nice? Now give them back. Haven't you taken these pictures for us? No... I will take them back. Deepa and I have never known what it's like to have family. The love of grandparents. Aunt's jovial pranks. The morsels fed by grandma... The last week went by like a dream. I'd never want to forget it. We'll go back after the ceremony. And I know you'll never call us again. That is why I want to take all of you with me. When I fight my first case... I'll first stand before grandpa and grandma's picture... And I'll take their blessings. And they will bless me. When my sister's marriage is fixed... I'll send cards to all of you. But none of you will turn up. Not grandma... not grandpa... No aunts or uncles. I will be sad. But I am confident you'll bless her through the pictures. Why is everyone serious? Let me show you a super photograph. This used to belong to Inder. You wear it. No, grandma. Grandpa might not approve. But someday if he voluntarily asks me to wear it... I will definitely wear it. Master... Carry me too... - Me first. - Tomorrow. Looking great in this dress. Actually this would have looked better on Sundari. Can you ride the cycle or do you have to be taught? I'm the cycling champ and I always stand first. My brother is always first in running races. My sister is number 1 My brother too is number 1 In a flash, we'll know who is number 1 The one who gets a lotus from the temple lake is first. Okay? Yes, we accept. Somebody ask me... I don't compete with girls. Scared? Is that why you're making excuses? Brother, it's a matter of honour. She's already left. She'll come back here. Hurry or we'll lose the bet. The fear of failure made him stay back. Hurry up. For what? - Grandma's food made me gain weight Your challenge will make me lose 2 kilos What's your weight? I asked your body weight not of your head. Now do you know my weight? The poor things handle is twisted. I'm hurt bad. Not this, help me. Get up. Will you be able to ride? All right, you sit in front and I'll ride it. Made friends with you for life Made friends with you for life I knew it. Got her on the cycle so soon? Looks like very soon we'll get marriage sweets. Go about your work. Talks nonsense! Forget it. Those that fight the bitterest always fall in love. That's what the world says. Go now... She has a lotus in hand so she has won. My brother can't lose to her. Tell us what happened. I lost. Yes, I lost. Mangala won!! She won!! I understand this false winning and losing. Count the real victory when you get grandpa's blessings. The hearts met I have fallen in love The hearts met and fell in love Made friends with you for life Made friends with you for life The hearts met and fell in love The hearts met and fell in love The hearts met and fell in love Made friends with you for life It's a strange feeling My first love I'm feeling restless In the dark and the night I am lost in the light It's a wonderful age I created light by lighting lamps of love I created light by lighting lamps of love I see you everywhere I go You guard me everywhere You are in my senses You're in the valleys I see your face everywhere I'll die if you leave me I'll die if you leave me What a doctor. Hurt on one knee and dressing the other. I'm scared. It will sting. - I'll apply it. It won't sting. I promise to apply it without being naughty. Okay, I'll be naughty. Does it hurt? Why did you accept defeat though you had won? Shall I be honest? The complete truth? You had grazed your knee. Telling the truth would have been scraping the wound. Very well. If I don't make you confess that you love me, I'm not Mangala. Good day sir. - Good day. How are you? - Very well by your grace. How come all of you landed up together? We came for your advice. About what? - This year we were planning a fair Ahead of the mother's temple. The engineer's words have scared us. The dam is weak. If it breaks at the last moment... Be optimist. Don't' say that. Admittedly the dam must be repaired at the earliest. It's not so bad. Do you trust in the goddess? - Yes. Arrange the fair. Mother will take care. Play with the rings. Win a nail polish and please the women. Win nail polish... - Brother the nail polish. Ask your magician to get it with his magic. Whatever article you ring becomes yours. Such a nice toy. Any article that I ring becomes mine? Absolutely. She lost! It's not so easy to possess everything in life. Pass it here. - Then what will I eat? Exchange your luck. Exchange the rings. He meant this ring. What brother...? Run, Rudra is here! This is injustice. - We know You're a government servant. Take your salary and shut up. There's no need to act smart and write to the government. But we will have to make a hole in the dam. No hole will be made! We've got a stay order for it. Show it to them! This is... - We know a stay order. If we touch the dam for 2 minutes, there'll be a hole. Talking to them is pointless. The law is not for fooling around. Does the law allow you to drown and kill people? How do you know law - I'm a law graduate. Why did you shut up? What he's saying is right. He can cite risk to human life and get our stay order annulled In fact he can also send us to jail. The boy knows law. Who are you? What's your name? Are you Vishnu's grandson? Yes. - Only a lion begets a lion! The grandson will bring honour to the grandfather's name. Hail Abhay Nirbhisht Pratap Singh! I will wear it the day grandpa voluntarily gives it to me. Son... Today I'll put this chain round your neck. Grandpa is very happy today. Don't miss this opportunity. Ask for Mangala's hand in marriage. You came for the old couple's wedding Why are you interfering in village matters? The matter is in court. That's where it will be decided. I am the court and the law in this village. Just because you speak English will you become the village leader? Will you make a hole in the dam? If it isn't done, the dam will burst. Many people will drown in it's waters And if the hole is made, people will die a bloody death. Mark my words. - How many will you kill? First of all I'll run your family. I'll massacre your grandpa before you and sacrifice him to the temple. Abhay, no... Stop it! Stop! Why have you come here? For what? Once your father lit this fire! Our happy families are still burning in it. Today you have come to add fuel to that fire! I'm trying hard to regain the love of that family... You are washing away my efforts Your father split us in two! But looks like you want to split the entire village! Go... go away from here! You're not required here. Leave the village. I knew I'd find you here Sad? Because grandpa slapped you? Your anger is justified. But grandpa's anger was justified too You know who Rudra Pratap is? - No Then you also don't know who lives across the street It's grandpa's sister's house She was Grandpa's only sister. And she was close to him So he got her to marry his friend Virendra Pratap The marriage didn't estrange brother and sister During every auspicious occasion... Grandpa insisted that his sister participates Whatever he bought for his wife he would also buy for his sister Virendra Pratap and his brother Narendra Pratap... had such high regards for grandpa And everyone wanted the relationship to continue down the generations When Narendra Pratap's daughter came of age... a marriage was proposed, to your daddy, Indra Pratap As a girl, she had been told, that someday she would wed Indra Pratap Why are you silent, son? Speak Virendra Pratap, it's upto you to extract a consent from him You see Indra, you are marrying Narendra's daughter Amrita And I've also found a suitable boy for my daughter Shanti So why don't we give both the girls a wedding on the same day? What do you think? It's my final year in college. - So...? I can't think about getting married Inder is right. All these years... he has toiled. Let's not ruin his efforts for our selfish ends Let's postpone the wedding. As of now let them get engaged And let's proceed with Shanti's wedding By this time next year... Inder and Amrita will be married. Okay? - Yes, that sounds fine Right Indra, I hope you have no objections about getting engaged? That's where your daddy slipped. He bought himself a year But at the crux was his affair with your mother. He never said that Time stops for no one and in no time, a year had gone by And it was the date that had been fixed for the wedding Sister, wear a black dot to ward off the evil eye My sister-in-law is looking exotic Stop it! You know what everyone is talking about? The size of my pregnancy and it's not quite a year You must carry the gifts to the bridegroom's house Mr Inder just left for the railway station I think he's headed for Mumbai! - What...? Mr Inder left this letter for you Daddy, I can't marry Amrita. I'm in love with someone else I'm going to marry her. Forgive me, if you can Brother! How could this happen? Stay away Why did you keep us in the dark about your son's affair? Virendra Pratap, I knew nothing. - You should've known Citing ignorance doesn't mitigate the circumstances of my ruination Virendra Pratap... it's true... I hadn't an inkling... had I known... Rudra! What are you doing? Drop it! - Let go of me A boy! And that's what he's upto! And you won't stop your son? Get out of here! It's all over Go away Stop all this! Please That day, all hell broke loose. Your father's one mistake... destroyed Virendra Pratap's family No one can fully understand Grandpa's grief His sister lives across the street but he can't even ask her how she is He can't even look at the house he once considered his own home So he keeps to his rituals, praying for peace... praying that the two families come together again And he lived in hope... that someday Virendra Pratap would once again... extend his hand of friendship And then you assaulted Rudra Pratap. That was too much for your grandfather Abhay, we are leaving. At daybreak tomorrow I'm not about to tolerate your insult in public No Abhay! The last time, I stopped you from leaving Now I'm telling you, tomorrow we're leaving for Mumbai That last time, you told me... when your elders are angry, it's only superficial Deep down under, you'll find lots of love. You told me that You were so right, Ma. We aren't going away Abhay... - Yes? Inviting you over was a grave mistake You have been insulted I feel responsible. - Come on grandma... what grandson takes a slap from his grandfather for an insult? Think... had I lived here all my life... I would've had my fair share... of beatings and some love He'd gladly let me climb his back and he'd punish me just as harshly Let's make light of whatever happened. I hope grandpa didn't hurt his hand Come on, grandma! You think I'll leave...? Because he screamed at me and told me to get out...? No In truth, I'm glad. For the first time, he touched me... he acknowledged me in public, he told everyone, I'm his grandson Not to forget, the rebuke is meant for someone dear My baby... Come on grandma, don't cry The buckets are filled with water for your bath Bucketfuls? To drown myself in? You're getting worked up for nothing. - For nothing? You tell your nephew to use his brains He was to blame. But your brother slapped his grandson Shamed me in public! And you say I'm getting worked up for nothing? You should lace that milk with a tonic for the brain Ask him to desist Yes...? So you've been told to lecture me? - No, I just brought you your milk Come on What everyone else has forgotten, I haven't I haven't forgotten the flames that took my sister's life I haven't forgotten my father's death. I haven't forgotten anything I'm not going to spare him No, this is impossible You expect me to do nothing and hope for things to mend with time? No... I'll mend the fences Before I leave, I'll make sure the families are re-united And the time is near. - May God will so Yes, may God will so I'm going away for a holiday. If the dam develops cracks... inform the office. - Have nothing to worry Come on, row us over. We got to be at the temple in time for prayers Forgive me, the engine is clogged. Please take the other boat Your boat always goes kaput just when it's needed most Never mind which boat. As long as we reach the temple in time Do I put the luggage down? Or are we going back? Why should we go back? Nobody here owns this boat. Sit I'm hungry. Give me something to eat. - Yes, one minute Who's that? They fly planes! But they don't have civic sense Morons Who's that again...? Coming up from lower deck...? My glasses I must see the optician! Am I hallucinating...? Virendra Pratap and Vishnu Pratap! Together...? Are they friends again? The other astrologer was wrong! You didn't know? - Never did Hello Mr Virendra Pratap! Hello Mr Vishnu Pratap! I said it 23 and a half years ago, I predicted this reunion And that astrologer ruled it out! - Now listen to me... good God... Lord be praised! I warned you about the timing of the wedding It was inopportune! But no one listened. And the outcome? This one became a widow Well Ms Sunanda, how does it feel to be talking to your sister-in-law again? Listen to me! - Shut up Didn't I say? Will come the day... when Virendra Pratap will fall at Vishnu Pratap's feet... and he will apologise and he will seek Vishnu Pratap's blessings... and he did, didn't he? - Listen... Shut up! And Mr Rudra Pratap... do you still disown your uncle and aunt? You apologise with folded hands! At your age, you still haven't sense? So I was the fall guy! Rudra walloped me My ears will go on ringing for a week These families can never be reconciled not in seven generations That's what I predict! Mark my words Talk of reconciliation and you get hit talk of discord and you still get hit What a dilemma! Worse, I took both of them on the same cheek Lord, this time next year, I want to stand before You with Abhay... as man and wife Lord, reunite our families I wish my grandfather accepts me, then I can ask for Mangala's hand Newly-wedded couples are the ones who seek the blessings of their elders It's also a blessing to touch the feet of a couple... who have crossed their sixtieth year. So pay them your obeisances Let's go Bless you Kids, don't get lost What do you want today? Chocolate or ice cream? Shut your eyes, count till five and you'll find an ice cream Get back to me soon Don't open your eyes before the count of five One... two... three... four... five... Where's he gone...? Brother... This kid is lost. - No, he's just crying Baby, why are you crying? - I came here with 14 people I've lost them. - 14 people are lost! No, this kid is lost. - Lost kid...? Moron We'll try to find at least two or three of them. Now don't cry Stop laughing, the kid is sensitive Where's the family? - Come and take your kid No family...? Or is there? - Take your kid That family walking towards us... the kid is related to them How do you know that? - Because I'm his brother So they're relatives and you're the brother...? Good God! Am I dreaming? I see a kid. You see a dream? - You're talkative Wait... hello folks... do you know this kid? No He's Gauri's son, my brother's grandson I told you, we don't know him They live in the house in front of my grandfather's house Wrong! You don't make a kid suffer for what looks like a family plot Take him to his mother, please Come, son Come on grand-uncle. Grand-aunt will tire Take me in your arms. Please, I want to be with you Where's Chintu? - He was right here, playing Have you seen him? - Where he has gone? Where do we look for him in these crowds? Look... over there Why don't you shave? Your beard has grown so long Thank God they found him. Else, what would've happened? You went wandering, did you? - Abhay said, if I want an ice cream... If you wanted an ice cream you should've told me so What did you pray for? - If I reveal it... my prayers won't be granted. - Who says? I know how to make wishes come true. - How...? Take a dip in the river and hold your breath under water for 3 minutes And your wish is given Really...? Very well Where are you going? - To take a dip I was just joking! Listen... In 3 minutes... your pulse rate will be low enough to kill you Time me by your watch. - Listen... even 2 minutes will do 3 minutes by your watch. - Careful! It's deep What happened? Are you sobbing? - You nearly killed me You might've never surfaced! Why do you do this to me? Because, to each his own miseries. - I'm never going to talk to you again Ever since I met you... I've been lost Ever since I fell for you... I've been lost What I say isn't what I think What I want isn't what I ask for All day, I'm in a daze Ever since I fell for you... I'm lost I forget my destination I call out for you then I find it's someone else I forget my destination I call out for you then I find it's someone else I don't feel like dying I don't feel like living I don't feel like eating I don't feel like drinking All day, I'm in daze Sweet dreams of love I dream When I'm alone, I sob Solitude is insufferable There's someone I miss Sometimes a spark ignites Sometimes my heart misses a beat All day I'm in a daze Ever since I met you I've been lost Forgive me. - Don't even speak to me Blossom! Where are you hiding? - What are you looking for? Don't trouble me. - What is the matter? What are you looking for? - My baby, my princess My black beauty, my Blossom! - But why down there? Is she tiny? She's as long as that! - Long...? You don't describe a girl as long. - Can't describe her by height She isn't human. - Inhuman... what? Snake Snake... snake Snake My princess... my Blossom... He has found the snake This is God's miracle! It made them come close, to protect each other Lord be praised Blossom! You made life miserable for me I've caught her. You can let go of her What happened? Where are they headed? Wild elephants have walked into your farm Rudra! Fetch the gun. Round up the bush beaters Beat up drums, set fire to crackers Go, chase the elephants Start it Give me your hand No time, fast Don't let go Let's go, Uncle Dr Mangala Solanki... to marry... Abhay Indra Vishnu Pratap Singh How is Mangala? - Fine Who's he? - Abhay. Inder's son Inder's son...? I hope he hasn't taken after his father Abhay, what are you doing? - One minute, grandma Your dresses are exotic. - That's why they're stored carefully What use storing them away? Get dressed We're going out to distribute cards. - The invitations? But they have been distributed. - Have you invited your sister-in-law? Them... - You must invite them personally No son, they might throw us out. - No they won't throw me out I'm Abhay Indra Vishnu Pratap Singh This one is nice. Wear it Come on Grandma. We aren't going back without inviting them Who's there...? - No one I think I heard that guy from Bombay. - He's the only one you seem to hear Sister-in-law...? Grandmother, apply the vermillion. I'll give them the card I hear his voice... pour water on my head Hurry... - I'm pouring it Moron, what have poured? Pour water My eyes are burning... put water on my head Idiot! I wonder what you dream about... - Water's over. I'll go and get some Hurry up and get some These children are getting me married to your brother again You must forget the past and be kind enough to attend Namaste It's a very auspicious day in my grandparents' life The whole village will assemble at our place If the only daughter and son-in-law of the family don't show up... we're going to miss something Please do come Sir, there's a breach in the dam! Everyone's going there Hurry Hold it To prevent the flow of water, let's give it a direction in the north Let my fields be ruined... but our village must be saved Where are you going? There's a marriage in the neighbourhood Everyone else has gone there... - So you're going too? I'll go, if you allow me to Your blood has lost its color Love each other... live for each other May we never separate May we live together all our lives Bangles... I wear bangles for my husband Your hearts have met and you are in love You met when you couldn't take the pining anymore The anklets chimed, the bangles tinkled Bangles I'll wear bangles for my beloved In the bridal headgear, his hands adorned with henna... he'll take me away some day as his bride My beloved will come some day Bangles I'll wear bangles for my beloved Hearts come together on their own... you can't ever break the bond they share My love, take my hand I lie at your feet I'll remain with you all my life Bangles... The earth, the skies, the moon and moonlight are never done apart... without any bondage... Iove binds them together Eyes... your eyes, my eyes... they couldn't go to sleep all night I find peace only when I look at you Bangles... I'll wear bangles for my beloved Bangles... Abhay, now is the time! Grandpa's very happy Go and ask him for Mangala's hand. Go! What happiness this house is seeing If one could see it in that house too... it would make me so happy. - Don't say this house and that house The two houses are now one No, sir. Rudra's anger hasn't cooled down yet If there could be a marriage between the two families... it would really add to our joy What do you mean? - Just think A girl from this family was first married into that family I'm talking about the mistress But for some reason... a girl from that family wasn't married in this one It's the turn of this family now to give away a daughter to them You mean...? - Shanti's son is returning from the US And there's Jaikumar's daughter, the one you treat like your granddaughter... Mangala, if the two of them are married... it would certainly bring both the families back together He's right, Vishnu One marriage separated us... we'll get together with another. What do you say? What can make me happier? But you must ask Jaikumar, not me What are you saying? You have a greater right to Mangala, than me Don't delay this anymore, Abhay. Before it gets out of hand... go and discuss it... Go! After years, I was very hesitant when I stepped into this house again By agreeing to this alliance, you have done this widow a great honour So Virendra, let's find an auspicious day and get them engaged No, Vishnu. Engagements aren't for us. We'll straightaway get them married All right Govind, take this Abhay... - Yes, grandpa? Come here My son, you have restored the joy of our two families As my grandson, you have done so much for me But as your grandfather, I've done nothing for you And so, after this wedding... I want your wedding procession to leave from this very house If there is a girl you want to marry, tell me my son I promise you... I'll get you married to the girl you love. Okay...? Okay? All right There's another thing You wanted me to personally put this around your neck, didn't you? Yes... - Here you are, son I'm never going to lack a son again. - No, never Bless you. May you be happy Virendra Pratap is coming? To meet me? Where has the sun risen from today? And whatever for? He wants you to find an auspicious day... for a wedding. For a wedding? But his wife is very much alive Is he marrying a second time? - No wonder people always kick you! The master's coming in connection with this granddaughter's wedding That widow Shanti's son? He was studying in America. Has he returned? And who's the girl? - Mangala. Jaikumar's daughter But she's Vishnu Pratap's granddaughter. - Not granddaughter... she's like a granddaughter. - Whatever... the marriage will take place at Vishnu Pratap's house, right? So? What a hurry! He bolted without even the water Rudra Pratap beat me up first, then it was the guy from Bombay And this guy's plotting to make someone else thrash me today! I won't let that happen. - Why won't you, Chaturvedi? It was all settled at Vishnuji's place today Really? - Oh yes It was all settled? - Absolutely You take me for a fool? I'm a priest! I've studied the texts! And you're out to con me? What's up there? The skies. And what's this... the earth. I say, even the earth and sky could meet... but not Vishnu Pratap and Virendra Pratap. It's impossible! Even if they get together, they'll separate again at the wedding. That's the prediction I make! Chaturvedi's prediction. What noises are you making? Remember what I said. And you remember it too. I wanted you to find an auspicious date for the wedding... and you're doing ominous things! Tell him his future! You get a beating whenever you make a prediction. When are your good days coming, Chaturvedi? Broke me up... all ends. Before predicting people's future, I'd rather read my own! Deliver the sweets to them, okay? We know who Mangala didi's bridegroom is! We know it! Really. And who is he? - He's very handsome. He's highly educated. - Foreign returned. The name is Achal. Shut up... who's Achal. - The guy you're going to marry. Marry? Who fixed my wedding? - Grandpa did. Also your Mummy and Daddy. - And the bridegroom's mother too. Everyone else was there too. Have you heard that, Abhay? I'm supposed to marry aunt Shanti's son Achal, who's studying abroad. What's funny about that? - Isn't it funny? Who knows how he is...? In any case, before one marries... isn't it necessary to meet and get to know each other... and fall in love like us? Why are you laughing? Because you say we're in love with each other What are you saying? Of course. What made you think that I'm in love with you? Ever since you've arrived, you've made me cry, one way or another Stop it now... it has to do with our lives Let's go and tell everyone that we're in love with each other I played a joke on you, as usual Mangala, you're mistaken in thinking that I'm in love with you I...? I think wrong? Every time you won in the pranks you played, I thought... in your victory, lay my victory. When you took those pictures... to make me cry, I thought I had found a place in your heart When you told everyone that you had lost the cycle race... and I had won it, I was convinced... that I have surely found a place in your heart But now I realise, I have lost in winning your love Once... look into my eyes We have spent so many days together. Didn't it once occur to you... that you're in love with me? No. What helplessness is this? What distances are these? What love is this? What punishment am I to bear? What fate is this...? In this victory, is defeat Even if I feel like cry, I can't What would I have suffered... how will I tell you? I've made you cry... I've been wicked with you I was helpless... I turned you into a foe If all you guys work here, who's going to handle that end? Go on there All right. It's an arrangement for grand wedding, isn't it? Oh yes, this is how it should be. It's a wedding in Vishnu Pratap Singh's family. It must lack nothing. Look at me and say that. It's Mangala's wedding, my son. - You're speak as if I don't know. I'm your mother, my son. Won't I know your suffering? You indeed wear a smile on your lips... but I can see the pain in your eyes. What's the point in talking about all this now? Are you not in love with Mangala? Yes, Mother. I love Mangala very much. We love each other a lot. We've spent only ten days together and I feel as if I've known her for years. As if we already share a relationship. Abhay, if you love her so much... will you be able to live without her? Come with me, Mother. Look, the happiness has returned to this family after so many years. Grandpa can meet his sister again. And look at aunt Shanti... she has a smile on her lips after 25 long years. If I were to say something, the two families would fight again... and kill one another. For one happiness of mine... I can't snatch the joy from everyone, Mother. If Mangala were to ask you why you are spurning her love... for their happiness, what will you say? I've already told Mangala that I've never been in love with her. Had your father or I thought about our family... maybe I wouldn't have to see tears in your eyes today. No, Mother. It's only for a day or two. We'll return to Mumbai after that. With a lot of memories. And I'll live with memories. Abhay, had you not been my son, I'd have touched your feet. No, Mother. A mother's hand must only rise in blessing... not in apology. Go and dress Mangala as a bride, Mother. Bless her... so she lives happily forever. My son! Had you got a sherwani stitched for me too, Master... I'd have been so happy. - Don't worry. I'll buy you a suit. - But how will I wear that? Let's go, sister-in-law. Rudra, get up. Let's go. Indra Pratap's son will be there. My blood boils when I see him. Rudra, it's my son who's getting married. He's your nephew. Won't you go to bless him? Let's go, brother. Go ahead, I'll come later. You go with her, too. Let's go... may we leave, son? Come on. Congratulations. Congratulations. Abhay, Mangala didi has given this letter for you. Mangala? - Yes. She was angry to begin with. She then started crying... She then picked up her suitcase and went away somewhere. What happened, Abhay? - Mangala has gone away. Govind, no one must get to know. I'll bring her back somehow. The auspicious time is passing... please call the bride. Ravi, where is Mangala? Go and bring her. Grandpa, didi is not at home. Not at home? What do you mean? - Come, dear. Mummy's calling you. Hold it. Where's Mangala? - Come on, dear... Where's Mangala? - She left a note for Abhay... and went away. And where is Abhay? - He has gone after didi. I told you not to go ahead with this marriage... but no one would listen to me. Now look what has happened. One moment... Like father, like son The father thrust his bride into the fire... and the son runs away with the bride That can't be! - That is what has happened. I'm not the kid I was at my sister's wedding. I won't let the bride leave the village. Come with me. Don't take a hasty step. - Had we made haste... we wouldn't have to see this day. And please don't leave this place. I'll bring the bride back. And keep laying the music. To celebrate the marriage... and death. Let go! What you're doing is very bad. Please... go back with me. All right. I'll go with you. But tell me once that you will marry me. I'd rather die than marry someone else. Never. Our marriage will make only the two of us happy. Don't you care for the joy of others at all? I don't care for the others... I value my own happiness more. Abhay, you can make a sacrifice in love... but you can't sacrifice love itself. Take my shoe and beat me with it! Thrash me in everybody's presence so no one treats me like an equal. Let the whole world know that it's my blood which is filthy. Calm down. - My son was good for nothing... and now my grandson! - No, sir... no. Abhay has done no wrong in this. - Just shut up, Govind. I will not shut up, sir... I will not remain silent! Abhay kept quiet all these days. As a result... you say nasty things about him behind his back. The fact is that Abhay and Mangala are in love with each other. They planned to get married, but this alliance was fixed. To keep all of you happy, Abhay suppressed his own feelings... and strangled his love... so that the two families could come together again. What are you talking about? - It's the truth, sir. It's absolutely true. But Mangala wouldn't agree She considered it a sin... to love one man, and marry another Families are not made like this, sir. This is how they are ruined! So she walked out of the house and left this note behind. Listen to me, Mangala... - I've heard it all, Abhay. I heard every word you said to your mother. I read every word in that diary... in which you wrote only about our love. I know you're in love with me. So why, Abhay...? Why are you deceiving yourself? Why? Please leave me alone now! Please try to understand. You know what will happen if you don't return home. I know! But it's your name that I've written on my heart... and no one can erase that. No one! How dare you run away with the daughter-in-law of our family? I don't want any fights, Rudra. I came here to take Mangala back. You're lying now that you see me? Had I not come in time... you were all set to run away like your father! You're misunderstanding me, Rudra. - So what must I understand? All my life, I have waited for this opportunity. Bastard, you eye the womenfolk in my family? Beat him up! Let him go! Let me go! Leave him alone! Mangala, open your eyes Get up Wake up What are you doing? - Out of my way, uncle! What have you done?! - Let go! Grandpa, see... I came here to take Mangala back. I know, son. I got to know everything... but very late. You're willing to stake your life to bring us together. I could never understand the feelings of those who loved me. The first mistake I made, went against my son. The second... went against you. Why didn't you tell me, when I asked you... that you're in love with Mangala? What would you have done, even if he told you? Violence and bloodshed does not solve any problem in life. It gets even more complicated. Tell me... what has hatred ever given us? We lost the ones we loved... and had to stay away from them. Even God bows to true love. What is it with human beings? Mangala will be the daughter-in-law of your family. Hello Mr Vishnu Pratap... Hello Mr Virendra Pratap... Welcome, Rambharam Chaturvedi. After that thrashing you gave me, I went away to the city for treatment. When I returned, I got to know that you have united again. My prediction turns out to be false? I can't believe it! Have you really united? - Hello, priest. Won't you come in? - Weren't you the one who hit me? I can't ever forget it. Good bye... - Mr Chaturvedi... I've changed my name! I'm less learned now! Come on inside We have united I was the one who separated them and I'm uniting them now. Look... the divine couple. Now find an auspicious date for their wedding. I'll even find an auspicious time for their nuptials. What do you intend?
