What work does your son-in-law do?

- He's an engineer. - That's nice.

Since he is an engineer, he surely must be having surplus income too.

- Yes, of course. - What about his relatives?

Not at all. He is all alone. The path is clear.

Then your daughter will surely find the going smooth!

Attention!

His Highness King Harry is on his way here!

Looks like some King is attending your daughter's marriage.

- But who's this King Harry? - He isn't Harry. He's Hiralal.

He isn't a King. He's my son.

Since nobody gave him a break in films...

...the rascal keeps on donning various garbs.

- What's this? - Father!

I got held up in make-up. Please pardon me.

You may begin the marriage ceremony.

- Rascal, the ceremony's nearly over. - It doesn't matter.

Let the mangalsutra be worn again. Take Two!

Does one repeat the process of wearing a mangalsutra?

Father! You are insulting an artist in public!

- Where is she? - Who?

- This fool's mother! - Mother!

Mother, why don't you come here?

What's the matter? Why are you shouting so loudly?

Come...you are the root cause of all problems.

- What wrong did I do? - You're asking this?

I always advised you not to watch too many films.

But you didn't listen. You even went to watch a film on the delivery date.

This rascal was born there itself.

When an infant is born, it cries 'Ma Ma'!

This fool was born screaming 'cinema...cinema'!

Father, you are insulting my mother!

What're you doing? How dare you point a sword at your father?

Didn't I tell you that I don't want it? Take it back!

Why do you have to become so angry, Mr. Raj?

I am only presenting a gift on the occasion of marriage.

Take it. It's a nice design. It must be at least 100 grams in weight.

- It is 120 grams. - That's what!

What's the matter, son-in-law?

He's my contractor. He has come here on your invitation.

He's trying to bribe me.

- Bribe? Aren't you ashamed? - I'm only giving him a gift.

What's wrong in accepting a gift?

If I accept his gift today...

...I will have to accept his contaminated cement too.

Let's go.

Do eat the meals before you leave.

Our son-in-law is real gold.

Gold! Can you melt him and convert it into a necklace?

What nonsense! It's my daughter's misfortune!

My son-in-law proved to be an honest person!

Come, dear...

- It's so hot, isn't it? - But this is a winter season.

I wonder why I'm feeling so hot.

Shall I switch on the AC? Where is the AC?

There's no AC. Our heart is like an AC for us.

You are right. Drink water.

Hey! It's not cold.

Surely, you must be used to drinking cold water from the fridge, isn't it?

I am used to drinking normal water. We don't have a refrigerator.

You must be joking. You're such a big engineer.

You don't even have a fridge and an air-conditioner?

No fridge, no TV, no VCR, nor a washing machine.

You must have thought that you will buy it once you get married. Right?

No. It's beyond my means to buy all these things.

Then what do you have at home?

I am there to look at you lovingly. Is that not enough?

Hey! What're you doing? Something is happening to me.

That's why I am doing it!

Listen, beloved!

I don't feel peaceful even for a moment...

...when I am not in your company

I don't like anything...

...when I am not in your company

Rs. 100 for a balcony ticket. I have the last two tickets!

Please buy the tickets. They are the last two.

- I have only 200 rupees! - It will do.

Here... - Let's go.

You bought such expensive tickets!

By gazing into my eyesight

...I wonder what...

you have done to me!

The henna on my hands...

...is giving out a fragrance...

all night long

You are my darling, you are my heartbeat

You are my life

I will write along with you...

...the story of our life

Separation...separation, May it never happen!

Separation...separation... O Lord...may it never happen!

I feel so restless at every stage in life...

...when I am not in your company

I don't like anything...

...when I am not in your company.

Careful...

I'm sick of traveling in these lousy buses!

You never know what will happen.

I'll drop the kids at school and proceed to the office.

You can buy the provisions and take a bus back home.

It's enough to say, Go home.

You don't have to say, Take a bus.

It's 7 seven years since we've been married.

Have I ever driven around in a car?

Listen... don't get immersed in your work and forget to eat.

And both of you... I want you to finish all the food in the box, okay?

- Okay, Mara (mother). - How often have I told you...

...to call me Mummy.

No kid in high-society calls his mother Mara!

Very well, Mummy. Bye...

Listen...

What did I want to tell you?

Of course! I'll take a bus back home.

I can't possibly take a flight, can I?

It's ages since I've seen you! Where were you all these days?

I had moved to Canada with my husband.

But I've got to know everything about you.

What have you got to know?

Just that you have got married, too!

- You have kids, don't you? - Yes. A boy and a girl.

What does your husband do for a living?

Do? He's a magnate...! A business-magnate, actually.

- A business-magnate? - Of course!

We have a flourishing business... a bungalow, cars... the works!

And you're still walking!

Actually, our family-physician, who is famous all over the world...

...has advised me to walk around. It's good for the health, he says.

So, I thought I'd take a walk and also buy the vegetables I need!

By the way, where is your bungalow?

- A bungalow? - Yes...where do you live?

- At Golf Lakes. - Golf Lakes?!

That is where I'm headed; let me drop you there.

We'll not only have a chat, but I'll see your bungalow, too!

Not today! I've got to walk now! Let's go over some other day...

Will you quietly get into the car, or do I kidnap you?!

I've landed in the soup today! How will I get out of it?

What are you murmuring to yourself?

What?! Oh, nothing!

You've got a nice car. How much did it cost you?

It's worth 10, I think.

- 10 Lake Rupees? - That's right. Why did you ask?

- Ours has been expensive. - I see.

It's the same make, too.

- It must be a more recent model. - Yes. That's it.

Here we are at Golf Lake... Now, where's your bungalow?

That's what I'm thinking about, too!

Take a right-turn from here...

' Hey, Aisha! Stop...! - What's up?

We've left our bungalow behind.

That's enough! Hold it!

This is our bungalow, Aisha.

I wonder where the watchman has gone with the keys!

I thought I'd treat you to some chilled apple-juice from the fridge.

- But I don't have the keys. - I have the keys, Kajal.

Because this bungalow belongs to me.

...not because you're poor.

Not because you don't have a car or a bungalow.

But for having lied like this...

...and insulting your husband and his pride!

One's house is, after all, one's own, even if it is small.

You must consider your house to be your heaven!

Or else, it doesn't take much for it to turn into hell.

You must learn to be happy with what you have.

Should you keep hankering for that which you don't possess...

...your life will be hell. Sheer hell!

Listen, Kajal...

The kids have gone to school and brother-in-law must be at office.

- But where is Kajal?! - Let me see...

What a haunting voice... It's like a quail singing!

It sounds as if someone were calling me, from the depths of her heart!

- And here I go... - Where to?

On my heart I have control no more...

...so here comes your Prince Charming!

- What were you looking at? - The house.

- What for? - For the heck of it.

Are you the mailman? The postman?

- Do I look like one? - Then what were you looking for?

- I looked for one to live in. - To live in?

- Will the neighboring house, do? - Yes, it will.

- Will this one do, too? - It's just perfect!

- How much rent will you pay? - As much as you ask for.

- How much do you earn? - I don't earn. My father does.

- How many fathers do you have? - We usually have one father, right?

Is it your father's money that you're blowing up?

I'm an artiste (Kalahari); I'm in love with art (koala).

- Who's Miss Karla? - That's no Miss. I speak of art.

- Do you have a radio at home? - Yes, I do.

- What make is it? - Murphy.

- And music-cassettes? - Yes.

- Which company are they from? - HM.

- And a cassette-player? - No.

Which is the one you don't have?

- Panasonic, Sony... - Do you hear music on Murphy then?

I hear the quail singing!

Why don't you hear the crow cawing instead?

Because I'm in love with music, you know.

I eat music, I see music, I hear music...

Can you see it, too? How is it to look at?

It looked wonderful from the rear! I don't know about up-front!

- What else can you see? - Everything!

Can you see me? The trees? The air?

- The air? - Can you see the air?

- Have you seen the air? - How can I...

...when I haven't even seen music? Can you see air?

- Who the hell is this man? - What else do you want?

- Nothing, but you're... - Can you see the stars?

- In broad-daylight? - The moon, too?

- Not in broad-daylight?! - Is your head spinning?

Check this guy out, my dear... I hope he's alive!

What is that about?

You're right, clear. We want to see you married, too.

But who would marry you?

Looks like it's the misdeeds of my last birth catching up with me!

I have a daughter who can't speak...

...and a husband who just can't shut his mouth!

Music! In all its pristine glory!

What was that?

Well, Prince Charming! What did the bird say to you?

She used the code-language to tell me...

- What could that mean? - I know what it means!

I'll have to handle her old man first...

_ ...after which it's going to be honky-dory!

It's easy to sermonize when you have all the comforts in life!

A small house that is your own, indeed!

Darn these cursed braincells Half of them are rotten!

Let me see her leaving her house and living in this dingy hell-hole!

She'll know how to manage without things, when they're expensive!

She asks me to be happy with what I have!

Or else, life will be a hell... Indeed! Am I not already in heaven?!

What's the point in cursing others...

...when my husband doesn't know how to make money!

There he is! Sweetness-personified!

Ask him why he's late and he'll talk of the excess-workload!

As if his boss is going to pay him more for his extra-work!

- I'm sorry for being late. - Lots of work at the office, right?

I've walked all the way from office today and saved the bus-fare.

Have you walked all the way... only to save this much?

Hey! What's wrong with you?

You're putting up with so much, just to buy me a tape-recorder!

One has to forgo something in order to gain something, Kajal.

But I don't like it. When you walk like this...

...it's my feet that hurt.

Let me give your feet a massage then.

But give you a massage today, I will!

It's our wedding-anniversary, after all.

You haven't forgotten that, have you?

That's really why I've sent the kids early to bed.

' Naughty girl... - Lay off!

Quickly have a bath; I'll lay the table.

Do you know how I feel when I look at the stars and the moon?

- How? - As if there were...

...roses blossoming in the skies...

...about to fall in our laps, as we lie here.

If something had to fall in our laps, it had rather be silver.

We could buy heaps of flowers with little silver-coins!

I don't know why I'm always hankering after money!

I've hurt your feelings even on our wedding anniversary, haven't I?

Look at me... please.

Do you know what I'd have done, had I been in your shoes?

I'd have given myself one tight slap! That would bring me to my senses.

Would a slap really bring you to your senses?

That's the trouble... You'd rather give me two slaps!

- That wouldn't be enough. - Okay... slap me as much you will!

I promise not to protest!

- Listen...! - It's the newspaper, Dad!

- God Almighty! - ..acts as if she's got it all!

The radio's blaring away, Dad. Full of news for you!

Go and get ready for school. Quick!

I'm sick of hearing them bragging!

Are you listening to me?

- What did you say, Kajal? - You know Lauri's aunt, don't you?

She's bought a gold-chain weighing 60 grams.

And Push pa! The snobbish woman!

She's bought a 24-inch colour TV-set!

Everybody seems to be buying something or the other.

I wonder when we will have a television and a VCR.

How long will we keep visiting people for the television-shows...

Where has he disappeared?!

Dad's gone hot in the head, Mom.

He's gone to cool it off in the bathroom!

You're pulling my leg too, eh?!

I'm getting late for the office! Where's my lunch-box?

I'm through. Just a minute...

- Where are you, kids? - Here we are, Dad!

- Here you are... take it. Quick! - What is it today?

Can't you sometimes pack some pancakes for me?

How often do I tell you that this is what the rich eat!

So what if we're broke now? We won't remain like this all our lives!

We'll be rich some day...

...so we'd rather be used to the ways of the high-society.

- Well, then... - I'm leaving for office now.

You speak as if you're bound for America!

It's enough to say that you're leaving.

Well, okay... I'm leaving. May I?

- Sure, go on... - But you're forgetting something.

The kids are watching!

But why should you feel shy in applying some vermillion?

Just go ahead and apply it.

- A red-mark, eh? - Yes!

Why don't you use vermillion like this one?

Why do you use stickers as dots on your forehead?

Every wealthy woman uses stickers.

Not only is it cheap, but people think we're rich, too!

You're the only one of your kind in this country!

Well... Let's go, kids.

Listen...

I get it. Come home soon and take us all to a film, right?

You've got it!

- What's the matter, Kajal? - Just mind the house, aunt...

We're going out.

We're actually going to the movies. Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge...

...it's playing at the Regal. It's an air-conditioned hall!

We always take a cab when we go to see a film...

...and you just can't enjoy a film unless you sit in the Balcony, right?

What's the time? My God...! It's time already...!

We must have an ice-cream in the intermission, Mom.

- Of course, dear... - Some pop-corn too, Mom?

- Won't you have a soft-drink? - You're fantastic, Mom!

What's up, Kajal? Haven't you gone to the movies?

Why not? Couldn't you find a cab?

May God never give anyone the life of womenfolk!

What do wives mean anyway? They're mere toilet-soap!

Or a machine that prepares food!

- Actually what happened... - I was mad to go bragging...

...that my husband was taking me to the movies!

Actually, the boss asked me to stay back and...

You should have married the boss! Why did you marry me?

Pappu's mother asks me... What's up? Haven't you gone to the movies?

And Lauri's aunt said, She mustn't have found a cab!

No... don't do that!

I want you to buy me an air-conditioned cinema hall just now!

- Buy you a cinema hall?! - That's right!

I'll never ask you to take me to the movies again!

No! Don't do that! Please!

What life are we leading without money?!

- I've been dying to see a film... - Where are my clothes, Kajal?

Call me as much as you will! I will just not come to you!

Shut up! Keep pining away for me all night!

I am not able to sleep at night

I don't feel at peace

You have robbed me of my peace of mind

Come close to me, I will untangle your hairlocks

Let me break down and fall into your embrace

Let me play with your lips and your cheeks

Let me set your heart aflame with love

When you touch my fair skin, I feel electrified

I feel as if I am being injected with poison

The bed is decorated with dreamy gardens

I feel shy of the moon and the stars

Let me sleep in your lap with my eyes closed

Let me immerse myself dreaming about you, forgetting all else

Your youthful body and this solitude...

...any separation from you can drive me mad

You have robbed me of my peace of mind

Send Raghu inside... Quick.

But Raghu's away at the bank, sir.

- But Abdul is around, isn't he? - He's at the site, sir.

- There must be some driver around? - They're all on duty, sir.

You just can't find a driver when you need one!

- Can I drive you somewhere, sir? - You? Why not?

Actually, Janhvi, is arriving today from America.

She's my niece; the daughter of my elder brother.

And you know I have an appointment and just can't go to receive her.

Would you mind picking her up at the airport?

It's time for the flight to land. Here are the keys.

- What name was that, sir? - Janhvi.

Hey! What are you doing?

- Are you Miss Janvi? - You've spelt that wrongly.

- Pardon me? - You've spelt it wrongly...

...the H comes after N.

- I'll correct it the next time. - Next time?

Will you still bring a placard? Won't you recognise me then?

I didn't think of that! Please sit in the car.

- Why didn't my uncle come? - He was busy. So he asked me...

My luggage goes with me... My luggage!

What is your name?

What is your name?

So, Raj... have you been driving a bullock-cart all these days?

- What?! - What, indeed!

Why are you driving the car so slowly?

What the hell are you speeding for?!

I've been flying planes all these days, you know!

Are you crazy?!

- What are you doing? - Do you know the way to your house?

Take a cab and go home.

Listen...!

I'll see you tomorrow then, Mrs Kapoor.

Raj! You've fetched Janhvi, haven't you?

You had no problems on the way, I hope?

How would I have problems? Didn't you send a capable driver to fetch me?

Driver?! Haven't you told her that you're an Engineer in our company?

And I was getting impressed at the style of a mere chauffeur!

But you've turned out to be an engineer!

May I leave, sir?

May I apologise for my behaviour?

You could do with a little bit of smile, couldn't you?

This is Vikram Khanna, my business partner.

Your uncle has been full of praise for you.

But he still didn't do justice to you.

I'm going home, Uncle. See you later.

How often do I come here? Have I nothing else to do?

- Such as? - Such as what?

I mean, what else do you have to do?

Is it a small task to make people like you pay up my rent?

- What are you yelling for? - I'm yelling, eh?

It's your wife who's making me yell!

- What's the matter? Tell me... - Didn't you tell me...

Hush! Don't shout...

Didn't you tell me that your wife would pay me the rent?

And she says you will pay me. Will you now?

- Why haven't you paid him his rent? - I've spent the money.

Spent it? Spent the rent?! Spent my money?!

Relax... Wait a minute.

But I had given you the money for the rent, Kajal.

Haven't I told you that I've spent it?

What did you spend so much of money on?

Will I have to account for every penny I spend?

I'm not asking you to account for it.

I'm only asking you because I'm being asked by Hasmukhlal!!

I've bought lottery-tickets with the money!

What?! You've bought lottery-tickets with the money, have you?!

That's right! We get a lakh of Rupees for the lottery we win!

You're getting madder and madder every day!

Are you mad to buy lottery-tickets worth a thousand Rupees?!

Yes, I have. When you can't find ways to make money...

...what alternative do I have but to buy lottery-tickets?

Don't scream at me! Or else, I won't take it quietly, too!

What are you going to do about it?!

What can a woman do anyway? Cry my heart out, what else?!

Lord Almighty! - Do you have a headache?

Wait till I win a lottery... It's going to be fun thereafter!

- My money? - I'll pay you tomorrow.

And what do I do then? Stand guard here?

- Keep my watch for now - Do I sell it?

Why will you sell it? I'll pay you by tomorrow.

- You'll pay me tomorrow? Sure? - Sure!

- When will you pay me tomorrow? - The moment I return from office!

- What if you don't go to office? - Why won't I?!

- You will return, won't you? - Of course, I will!

- You won't forget? - Why will I?

- Tomorrow evening then, okay? - Okay!

- At what time tomorrow? - At 5.30...

Can't you make it at 5 p.m. ?

I will clear your dues by 5.30 tomorrow, Mr Hasmukhlal

- Do I leave then? - Please do!

- Why hasn't he returned as yet? - Dad!

I've made it, Dad! I've got a break as a hero!

Which idiot would give you break as a hero?!

- You can consider me a hero, Dad... - I can't believe it!

Besides, I had sent you to buy me a toilet-soap!

Here's the soap!

Wait, Dad... I want to enact a sad-scene.

- Go outside and do it. - Wait, Dad!

It's a tragic scene and you'll have to die for it!

I'll break-down when I see you dead and that'll be great fun, Dad!

Come again What was that?!

What are you doing?

One slap from me and you'll have loose-motions!

You want me to die, eh? So you can sell this house and produce a film?

No way! I'd rather lose my life... but I'd never die!

Why doesn't he understand! My God...! My dad refuses to kick the bucket!

Champak!! How on earth will I perform a tragic-scene?!

That's okay, isn't it? Do I get cracking now?

My father has left me!

Listen, ye guys in the village! Whom will I call my father now?

He has left me an orphan!

He has widowed my mother!

He has left me an orphan...! All alone in this big, bad world!

Cut the cliches! Your audience is running away!

Let's see you bring out your inner-emotions!

Inner-emotional, right? Extremely sentimental, eh?

From the depths of my heart, isn't it?

Go ahead and call for action.

Father...

You have deserted me, Dad!

You had asked me to fetch you a toilet-soap...

How could you slip away, even before you could bathe?

You have widowed my mother!

Damn the incence-stick!

Father...!

Listen, folks... my father is no more!

When did this happen, Hiralal?

He died moments ago.

It is a grave injustice on my mother!

He loved the mashed-brinjals my mother prepared!

She has gone to fetch brinjals, but he has left before he could eat!

Are you going to get fritters up there, Dad?!

No! This can't be true!

How did this happen?!

My husband is no more! Oh God!

- Have patience. - How did this happen?!

Don't cry, Mother... Who has ever been able to defy destiny?

Those who leave, never return...

But their memories torment you

I can't believe this, Mother! Look at his eyes! Just look at them!

It appears as if he's watching the World Cup on television!

That's a great act from my Mom, isn't it?

Look at his eyes, Mom!

Wide-eyed! As if he were at the premiere show of my first film!

What's wrong with you? Why are you crying?

My husband is dead! And they don't even let me cry in peace!

Your husband? That's me...! And I'm alive!

- Ghost! Ghost! - Where's the ghost?

You are the ghost!

Do I look like a ghost to you?

- What's that on your body? - I was having a bath...

...and ran out, when the tap went dry.

Who's that? The face appears to be familiar.

It's your own portrait, father.

Scoundrel! You treat me as dead, even when I'm alive and kicking!

That's art, Dad... Histrionics!

Hadn't I wept the way I did, where would I get an audience from?

That's how we treat art, Dad.

- Let me give you the treatment...! - Don't you touch my son!

Not after I've had to weep for you!

- How are you? - Fine, Ma'am.

You have a way with words, Rukhsana.

That's a gift from God, I guess.

Is the engineer in his cabin?

No. Mr Raj is at the site.

...and another from here, okay?

Mr Tarneja wants to meet you.

You haven't given me a reply to my offer, Raj?

I have already turned down your offer.

We're prepared to pay you more than what Sahni does.

In addition to that, you will also get a company-flat and a car.

When I approached you for a job...

...all you wanted from me was experience, not my ability.

On the other hand, Mr Sahni considered my capabilities...

...and gave me a job, although I had no experience.

And now you're luring me with money and asking me to ditch him, are you?

How will you ditch him? That's how everything works.

I'm not up for sale.

You may leave now.

They're mixing something spurious in the building material back there.

Something spurious? Where?

They're mixing sand and cement together.

I thought you knew nothing but anger!

It makes me angry, when something is wrong.

And what happens otherwise? - What is otherwise?

I mean what do you do at other times?

What are your hobbies? Are you into games? Music, perhaps?

I'm fond of listening to music.

What kind of music do you like? Pop? Disco? Bhangra?

I hate the loud stuff.

My idea of music is owning a cassette-player...

...with which I can relax and listen to some soft and soothing music.

Mr Sahni is waiting for you, sir.

All the lines are dead!

Janhvi has gone with Vikram to see our new guest-house today.

She should have returned by now.

To make matters worse, the weather is terrible too.

Who knows? Her car might have broken down!

I'll go and take a look, sir.

The telephones are just not working. I think they're dead.

What do we do now?

Haven't you learnt to drink, even after living in America?

What has America to do with one's drinking-habits?

Have you ever been to America? And yet, you're a drinker.

I just can't get the better of you.

I hope your uncle has spoken to you about our marriage?

My marriage with you?!

Why not? What do I lack?

- What do you possess? - I have wealth...

...and a good personality. What else would you want?

You mean, you won't marry me?

Don't even dream about it!

Since we are not destined to marry, we can at least have some fun!

You have slapped me?

How dare you come in?!

This is not our office where I obey your command!

So you will not obey my orders, eh?

I will sack you for this!

I can't see a girl being raped, to save my job.

What will you do?

You're drunk, sir... Let's discuss this tomorrow.

What will you talk to me about? What are you worth anyway?!

- Listen to me, sir... - I will listen to nothing!

I have fallen in love...

I have fallen in love while it was raining

If I don't look at you, I don't feel content

Only the Lord knows what condition I am in

I got the opportunity to meet you...

The meeting of our eyes caused us to fall in love

When I saw the dream, I had the encounter

Our love is showering all around...

When a raindrop fell on the heart...

...the heartbeat became wet

When lovers met uninhibitedly, the boundaries were unshackled

Young lovers finally united today

It happened not once, but a hundred times

Harry's crazy about you, darling...

This is the girl you must lure

I understand your code-language very well!

Abba is me; Dabba is you... And Jabba means you love me!

I'm in love with you, too. And I want to marry you immediately!

Hey! Why have you fallen on the ground again?

It isn't the ground... I've fallen in love!

In love with your daughter, Vani, that is. She loves me, too, Dad!

- Does Vani love you, too? - Yes, Dad.

- Who told you that? - Who will? Vani herself told me.

- Vani did? - Yes.

- Did she utter the words? - She won't gesture then, will she?

How did you hear it being said?

My heart has heard it all. Do you see this colour on my nose?

- Why is the colour on your nose? - It's a sign of our love.

Is that how colourful a love-sign is?

I love Vani and I want to marry her here and now!

- Is that a promise? - Promise!

You won't regret that, I hope?

Don't waste time... Just give me your blessings!

I can't go about changing people's destiny, can I?

What is that you desire? Tell me!

For all the melody in your voice, darling...

...your father is equally hoarse!

Well, never mind... Let's get down to the nitty-gritty of our love.

And you can forget the code-language.

Now sing me a song in your lovely voice.

A song that is just apt for the romantic situation!

Shut up! You're not selling vessels on the street, are you?

Let's have it like the quail would sing... with all the rhythm!

What's wrong with this one?! An assortment of noises...

...no lyrics, no words!

Let's hear the devotional-song then... the one you sang the other day.

Wasn't it you who sang the song then? Who sang it?

Was it your mother?

You mean your old man has conned me into taking a horse-barrel home, eh?

No wonder there was such a twist to the plot!

This is no nuptial-night... It is the night your father dies!

I'll take the shirt off your old man right now!

Wake up, old man!

The romantic interludes are over, old man!

The action begins!

Have you discovered the truth then?

Why did you trap me in the mess, when you knew the truth?!

- Did I trap you? - Didn't you?

Didn't you say my daughter and you love each other?

- Yes, I did! - Didn't I ask you whether...

- she had herself told you so? - Well, all right!

And what did you say? That she'd naturally utter it?

But that was a comic situation!

Then speak tragic lines for this tragic situation!

- What tragedy? - Didn't I tell you that she was...

...dumb and mute and that she couldn't speak? Didn't I tell you?

Whom are you pestering now?

You can speak! And you've even changed your costume, have you?

You can't fool me, darling!

Why are you clinging to your mother-in-law, son?

- My mother-in-law?! - That's right!

- You mean, it's a double-role?! - That's right!

What's all this about I playing the mother-in-law...

Stop worrying... he's taken over our problems!

I see! Bless you... May you have a long life, son!

Long life, my foot! I'm ruined! What do I do now?

Keep the girl for yourself and have all the fun!

Let's go... My darling son-in-law!

I was the fool, I admit!

This man's daughter had to be dumb! I should have known that!

O colourful one... you're now devoid of colour.

O God! Why did you forget to put some speech in this girl?

- How are you, Rukhsana? - Fine, thanks to the Almighty.

At what time does Mr Raj's flight from Delhi arrive?

- What are these cards for? - Today is Mr Raj's birthday...

...I give him a greeting-card every year.

I see... so it's Mr Raj's birthday, eh?

How much does this tape-recorder cost?

It's worth 1,500 Rupees.

- But this one is already sold. - Then give me another.

I'm sorry, Madam, but we don't have anymore in stock.

But I wanted one right now.

You won't be able to find this model anywhere in town.

Really? Well then... Who has bought this cassette-player?

Do you see that woman there, in the sari...? It's her.

Could you let me have this tape-recorder, please?

What?! I've collected every penny to buy it at 1,500 Rupees!

I'll pay you the money, in that case. Is that okay?

Why must I still give It to you?

I've gone hunting for it from shop to shop. My feet are aching!

Let me have it... Please...?

That's wonderful!

- I'm presenting it to my husband! - I see...

But couldn't you give your husband the big-deck instead?

He'd be thrilled!

But I don't have that kind of money.

That must be worth at least 10,000 Rupees.

Suppose I give you the money? Would that be all right?

Such jokes are not in good taste... We're respectable folks, too.

But I wasn't joking...

I'll consider it to be a favour.

Foolish girl! She pays 10 grand for something worth 1,500!

Listen, mister! Let me take a look at that big music-system!

You?!

- But how did you get to know? - I know!

- This is for you, too. - How can I accept that?

I'll tell you how... Like this!

There's a cassette in that. Do listen to it...

Okay... but do tell Mr Sahni that we've bagged the Delhi-contract.

- Hold it, Mom! Don't do that! - What's wrong?

Should you break the coconut on the cassette-player...

- ...it'll cry, instead of singing! - Shut up, you brat!

Should we switch it on now, Mummy?

No, clear. It's a birthday-present for Daddy. Let's make him switch it on.

- Looks like he has arrived! - Daddy's arrived!

Your turn comes tonight!

I've got you a birthday-present.

- What is it? - It's that!

- What's that ? - Something you've been longing for!

- Should I tell you, Daddy? - No!

- Come and see it for yourself! - Let me take my bag first.

Something wrong? I expected you to be thrilled!

That looks pretty expensive. Have you bought it on instalments?

No, sir! I've paid 10,000 Rupees for it!

Where did you get 10,000 from? You haven't won a lottery, have you?

- You can call it that! - Put the bag away, kids.

I had bought a small cassette-player worth 1,500 Rupees.

But there was this crazy girl who...

...asked to exchange it for a bigger one.

I said it was very expensive. And do you know what she did?

She gave me 10,000 Rupees, picked up the small tape-recorder and left!

That's the point! We've had a windfall of 10,000 Rupees!

Let me play it...switch it on and the whole locality can listen to it!

- What's wrong with it...? - There's a power-failure, Mummy!

Damn it!

Here you are... you'd rather play this one.

This is the one I had bought! How did it land with you?

That foolish girl who gave you 10,000 Rupees...

...is none other than my boss's niece.

She's the one who presented me this one, too.

Lucky day, I must say!

I knew of a free toilet-soap with every five litres of cooking oil.

This is the first time I hear...

...of a free music-deck with a smaller cassette-player!

There's a cassette in this.

- Have you played it? - No.

Since you're very happy today, I suggest you switch it on.

Okay!

Many happy returns of the day, Raj.

I'm not presenting this cassette- player alone on your birthday.

In fact, I want to tell you that I've lost my heart to you.

It's true, Raj... I love you very much.

I have even decided that I will get married only to you.

What?! Is Raj already married?!

Yes! Which is why you'd better forget this affair of love!

How can I forget it, uncle?

But I can forget the fact that he's already married.

What's the point in falling for him, when you know he's already married?

I didn't know that, when I fell in love with him, did I?

I didn't want to know of his financial-standing, too, did I?

I wasn't even interested in knowing his strong points and shortcomings!

I fell in love with Raj for what he is.

And just because I get to know that he's already married...

...how can I stop loving him?

What is this crazy argument you're pursuing?!

I'm not arguing. In fact, I think there can be no arguments in love.

Raj? You?!

- I only came to tell you... - That you're married, right?

- But I still love you, Raj. - You're out of your mind!

Love has to do with the heart; not one's mind, Raj.

Try and drill some sense into her head, Mr Sahni!

I've tried my best. You do the rest now.

Don't be silly, Janhvi... I even have two children.

You will now have two wives! Marry me, Raj.

I love my wife very much.

- And I love you very much! - Have you gone crazy?

It's you I'm crazy about, Raj...

So, which day are you going to marry me?

O Lord of the Universe! 0 Protector of the world!

I dutifully offer a coconut to You every week, 0 Lord...

Then how did You let this calamity befall me, O Lord?

That crazy girl is baying for my husband's life!

Although he has assured me that he will never marry that ugly-duckling...

...the fact remains, she's not ugly. She's fair-skinned and beautiful!

If she keeps wearing her love for him on her sleeve...

...for how long can any man resist such advances?

I sense danger, O Lord...

I hope my husband doesn't bring another woman home!

Your offerings.

Mercy, 0 Lord! Have mercy on me!

I promise to offer a coconut every day, instead of one every week!

Mercy, 0 Lord...

Goodness! The witch is here!

What could have she have come here for?

Must certainly be to offer coconuts, so she can ensnare my man!

I'll offer one coconut more than she does, 0 Almighty!

Just have mercy on me!

She seems to be gesturing to me! Well, all right!

If she dares utter any nonsense about my husband...

...I'll beat her up, black and blue!

- How are you? - Terribly nasty!

How is that your business?

To be honest, I had some business with you.

Now look... Watch your tongue!

If you dare speak any nonsense about my husband, I'll bash you up!

But it is your husband that I've come to talk to you about.

There you are! Could you find only my husband in this huge world?

But there is no one quite like your husband either.

If you as much as look at him...

...I'll scratch your eyes out! I'll hack you to pieces!

I love Raj very much.

If I don't get married to him, I won't even remain alive.

Go ahead and die then! That will be good riddance!

- You aren't even letting me speak! - I know what you will say.

- Well, then... what is it? - Now look; it is not Raj alone...

...I want to see you and the kids happy, too.

I see! How will that be possible?

Don't you want your children to have a decent English-education?

Don't you want to see them dressed well?

Don't you want to possess lots of jewellery? A nice bungalow?

Wouldn't you want to go around with Raj, in an imported car?

Don't you want your family to present the perfect picture of happiness?

Please accept me as part of your family.

Should you make Raj agree to marry me...

...I'll give you a crore of Rupees in exchange.

How much?! - Would two crores do?

I don't have anything more than that.

Please don't misunderstand my love for Raj.

You may take your own time in making up your mind.

I must leave now.

Don't you want your children to have a decent English-education?

Don't you want to see them well-dressed?

Don't you want to possess lots of jewellery? A nice bungalow?

Should you make Raj agree to marry me...

...I'll give you one crore of Rupees in exchange.

Please accept me as a part of your family.

Should you make Raj agree to marry me...

...I'll give you one crore rupees.

Would two crores do?

So... what do you have to say, son-in-law?

Say what?! I will not marry again! No matter what!

Your daughter is out of her mind!

With the money you make, that's the only thing possible!

Don't yell! Let's see you bragging after you've earned 2 crores!

I can never sell my integrity for money!

Where does the question of selling your integrity arise?

Besides, aren't there men like you...

...who have affairs on the sly?

What have their women been able to do about it?

And here I am... trying to get you married again...

...and all hell appears to break loose!

Are you the first man in the world who's having a second marriage?

Men are permitted even four marriages in this country!

Does society not accept it?

Maybe you're right. But I can't be one of them.

I can't bring about a division in my love!

Division? When you have brothers, sisters and mothers at home...

...one's affection never seems to be divided.

I wonder why there is a division only in a husband-wife relationship!

When I have no objection to your second-marriage, what's your problem?

What she says does make sense, son-in-law.

When there is money coming into the house...

...why must you shut the door on it? Let it come in, by all means!

It's not just money... it's bringing in a rival for your daughter, too.

That's okay! They'll co-exist, as sisters would. What's your problem?

You're sure Kajal is your daughter, I hope?

Why? Why must you ask such a question?

Only because no father would ruin his daughter's happiness like this!

Keep out of this, okay?

Do you know of the number of zeroes in a figure like 2 crores?

Even if you blow up money with both your hands, all your life...

...the money is not about to get over!

Your daughter's family will enjoy themselves! So don't crib, okay?!

But when does my husband care about us?

He has never thought of sending his kids to an English-language school.

He has never thought of buying me a small house!

He has never even considered buying me some jewellery or some security!

I wonder why such good-for-nothing people even get married!

Well, okay... I'm no-good! I'm a good-for-nothing chap!

This is all I earn... and this is what you'll have to manage with!

And if you continue with your nonsense...

If you continue with your nonsense, I will give you a bashing!

Even if someone offers me 20 crores, I will still not marry a second time.

What a strange man! He rejected two crore rupees!

Here...take these property papers.

I suppose two crore rupees can be raised now.

It's possible. Perhaps we might fall a little short of it.

Then withdraw my diamond sets from the locker.

- Will that suffice? - Yes.

What's this madness, Janhvi?

You've even sold all your shares!

I desperately need the money. - Somebody has rightly said...

All is fair in love and war.

I can't say anything about the war...

As for love, well...

Please have your dinner, Mummy.

Preeti and I haven't yet had our food, too.

You first, Mom. For our sakes, won't you eat?

It's for your sakes that I'm not eating, children.

Go ahead and have your food... and feed your dad, too.

Don't be stubborn, Kajal.

Please don't be stubborn.

You haven't had anything for the last 2 days.

You might get weak.

So? Weakness will lead to unconsciousness and then... death.

I'll even be cremated and that will be the end of it!

It's better to die, than lead a life like this one!

Money isn't everything, Kajal.

Then give up your job, too! Why earn even this much?

Doesn't one need some money to live?

To live better one needs more money! Can't you understand that?!

- Wealth doesn't mean happiness! - Wealth does mean happiness!

Happiness always follows wealth!

How would you know of the sorrows I've suffered, without wealth.

I've seen our children crave for little things in life!

I've seen you denying yourself the small comforts, too.!

Is that why you are incurring such a big risk?

Are you willing to let someone share me with you?

No power on earth can ever share you with me!

Even Janhvi will be part of our family...

...what's wrong with that?!

That is just not possible... that's impossible, Kajal!

According to the Constitution, under the Hindu Act...

...no man can marry again, while he is still married.

You don't have to think of all that!

Just give me your consent!

How?! How will I give you my consent, Kajal?!

Do you want me to consent to your idea of trying out poison?!

No! I can never do that!

You love Mom very much, don't you, Daddy?

Yes, dear.

Then why don't you do what she says?

I can't, dear... I just can't.

She's insisting on something that is wrong.

She wants to exchange her peace for trouble.

Hey, Dad! Look...! What's wrong with Mom?!

Come quickly, Dad! Look at what's wrong with Mom!

Is Mom dead, brother? - No! That's not true!

How could she have become so weak?

Has she not been eating well?

She will eat well now, Doctor.

Have your food, Kajal.

I will do everything you say, in the manner you want it done.

- Is that a promise? - Yes, Kajal.

I give you my word.

Let's eat together now.

For all you know, we might never get the opportunity again.

You're right.

Upon the mutual consent of Mr and Mrs Raj Varma...

...this Court does, under the law of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955...

...uphold their plea for divorce.

In the course of falling in love with you...

...I have given you my heart

I have achieved everything now

Come, let me look at you dreamily

Let me keep drowning in the longings of desires

Kiss my lips and hold me close to you

Forget the world and just think of me

Look, beloved, I have become crazy

I have become lost in the silky hair

While sighing, and in the course of falling in love with you...

...I have given you my heart

There's no desire nor any ambition left unfulfilled

I have every happiness and every thing with me

Your image has embossed on my eyes now

My wish has been fulfilled now

Should I come into your arms, or go over there

I am wondering what I should opt for

Do come in!

Mother...!

I'm a crazy rustic, mad and... Mother!

I've brought you a daughter-in-law, Mom!

Seek my mother's blessings... Go on! Touch her feet!

Bless you, dear...

Are you listening? Come on! Harry is here!

Has he returned? I thought he'd be rotting in some prison!

Terrible times, Mom... I think there's a storm in the offing!

Who is this girl?

Look at the beautiful wife our son Harry has found.

- A wife?! - Seek his blessings, dear...

When did you meet with this accident, Heeralal?

The name is Harry... Not Heeralal, Pop!

Oh, shut up! And what's your name, dear?

Tell us your name, dear.

I want your name... not that of your lineage!

What kind of a name is that?!

- That's a new one, Pop! - You'll get a thrashing for this!

Oh, never mind... Come along, dear... Come with me.

- May I, dad? - You...?!

What's so funny? - What have you done to yourself?

- What have you done to yourself?! - That's it...

...we're rich folks now, aren't we?

Right you are! My daughter looks beautiful, doesn't she?

It appears as if the Goddess of Wealth has Herself...

...descended on earth, in a modern outfit!

The Goddess, indeed! With Her hair trimmed?

Look at the one to whom all the wealth actually belongs.

How beautiful she looks... in all her simplicity.

You've spoken again about what belongs to her and her, eh?

When they don't discriminate between what's theirs, why must you?

Dad, Mom... please come.

Take a look at the house, and then come over for lunch, okay?

We've already eaten at home, dear.

Now that we've met all of you, we've got what we wanted.

As for the bungalow, whether it is big or small...

...it is a structure of stones and bricks, isn't it?

- Let's go. - Can't we eat something first?

Let's go, I say.

See you later, clear... But you owe me a meal, okay?

What is all this?

That's the stuff from our old house, Mummy.

You can't have that old stuff in a new bungalow...!

I've had all that brought here, sister.

It's not the whole lot... a few selected things.

Since Raj had fondly bought all that...

...he just didn't have the heart to throw the things away.

Well, all right. Then have the stuff kept downstairs.

I want everything around to be new and fancy-looking, okay?

Listen, Mister... bring everything to my room. Come on.

Welcome, Aisha!

There you are! I had once said that this bungalow belongs to me.

...and you claimed that it belonged to you.

But it does now belong to me, doesn't it?

Everything in the house is brand-new!

Well then... how is it?

It's beautiful indeed.

The workers have brought everything from here that belonged to me...

...but they've forgotten my husband's portrait.

I have come to personally collect it.

Do you remember what you had sermonised to me?

To be happy and content with what I have...

...or life would be hell?

Nothing of the sort has happened to me.

On the other hand, I've had such a windfall...

...that I'm much richer than you are right now.

That's not true, Kajal.

I've sold this bungalow, only to save my ailing husband's life.

Whereas, you have sold your husband to buy this bungalow.

You have come to be even poorer than you were.

Take a look! This is fantastic!

- What's all that, Kajal? - I'm going crazy!

I just can't believe this!

We've bought a bungalow and a car...

...we've even bought new clothes for the kids and jewellery for me!

We still have so much of money!

You've laid out currency notes in my place, have you?

Doesn't the sight of all this money make you think we're dreaming?

I have never dreamed with my eyes open, Kajal.

Clear the bed... I want to sleep.

No! Go and sleep elsewhere today!

How could I forget?!

You've got to go to Janhvi' s room today'.!

What for?! - Why, indeed!

As if you don't know! Quietly come along...

What nonsense are you talking?! I'm not going anywhere!

Won't you? To have people say that I've cheated the poor girl, eh?

- Are you in your senses? - You've promised to do as I say!

And I'm personally sending you to her room!

My wads of money!

Look at your long face!

Let's have a smile... It keeps you in good health.

Have you paid for my smile, too?

Are you very angry?

You can't expect commodities to be angry.

But who on earth has called you a commodity?

You don't have to say it.

I've been sold by one and bought by another.

- I'm a mere commodity. - Please don't say that.

I have great respect for you.

Really? Is that why you've paid 2 crores for my self-respect?

Why don't we settle the price for other things as well?

How much will you pay me for a smile?

What will I get, should I embrace you?

3 crores? 5 crores?

And should I take you to bed and...

Stop it, please! I have really loved you.

I did whatever I thought was right in having you for myself.

You could fault the means I have adopted.

But the vows I have taken with you were not fake!

This matrimonial necklace that you've put around my neck...

...this is not make-believe!

I've put it on you out of sheer helplessness!

Had I been corrupt and made millions of Rupees in life...

...I would have undoubtedly caused losses to several people.

But in this deal of betrayal, I am the only loser.

It's only I who has been sold!

But you don't stand to profit either. You have struck a bad deal!

Having bought me, you have only bought grief for yourself!

Try and find out how much each of your tears has been worth!

Wretched girl! You've spilt all my water, haven't you?!

No matter what you say, I just can't understand what you say!

What's wrong, dear?

- What's that about dabbas ?! - She wants to know where Harry is.

Damn it! Now wait a minute...

You don't let me even bathe in peace!

Peace? Think of the turmoil your wife has caused me!

Weren't you bad enough to handle that you've brought her, too?!

- Take her away, please! - Let's go inside, dear.

It doesn't behove a dumb girl's father-in-law to speak like that!

If only I could get my hands on his father-in-law, I'd show him...

Hi! This is Kajal here.

Yes, I'm ready... but what have you worn?

I see... so what else is new?

Really? A new car launched in the market?

Well, all right... I'll buy this one, too.

You're talking like the middle-class now, Mrs Goel!

- Help us get ready, Mummy! - Watch out! My sari!

Pardon me? I'm on my cell-phone, which is I can't hear you properly.

What is it? Stop disturbing me! - We've got to go to school.

Help us get ready, Mummy. - Why must I sell the car?

Won't the kids and Raj need it? They need a car, too.

- Listen, Mummy! - What is it?

We've got to go to school. Please help us dress.

Come here, Vimla... get them dressed for school. Go on...

No! Not you!

Mom refuses to dress us up for school, Papa!

What are you so busy with, Kajal? Get the children ready.

Come along, Romy and Preeti... I'll help you get ready.

- No, thank you. - No? Well, all right.

Let's forget it.

Now tell me something.

Why do you find the colour-blue in boys' rooms...

...and the colour-pink in girls' chambers?

- Why is that? - Yes... why is it?

Tell us!

Because boys are called Bill and the girls are Pinky!

But what do we call you?

Let's call her Papa's new woman!

Let's hurry up... You're getting late.

So what have you decided? How will you address me?

We've decided to call you Mara (Mother).

Mother?

I'm leaving for office, Kajal. Come and apply the red-mark.

Did you notice Mrs Jhunjunwala's hair? She's really grown it long.

Long, my foot! She was wearing a wig!

- How do you know? - My hand accidentally touched...

...her hair at a party recently and the wig came loose!

I'm getting late, Kajal!

This is vermillion, no less... And I'm your wife, too.

Here, Dad... Mother has given us the lunch-box.

This is for you.

Let's hurry, Papa! Or we'll miss the school-bus.

- Let's go. - Listen...

Why take a bus? Take the car instead.

It's you who has made the riches... not I.

Let's go.

Could you show me the way to this place, mister?

Could you show me the way to this place, mister?

- Are you married? - Yes, I am.

- How's your wife to look at? - She's beautiful. Naturally...

- How about your kids? - No. I have none.

- Do you have a television set? - Yes, I do.

- Is it a working set? - Sure, it is.

- Do you have cable television? - Sure, I do.

- How many films do they show you? - Two.

- Why don't they show you 3 films? - They don't!

- Is it a black-and-white set? - It is a black-and-white set.

- Why didn't you buy a colour TV? - That's my choice...

...who the hell is this man?! - What do you mean by your choice?

- Who the hell is this man? - Who are you, by the way?

I? I've forgotten!

- Do you have a cat at home? - No, sir.

- How about a dog? - Sure, I do.

- Any bed-bugs'? - No.

- Any lizards on the wall? - There are.

- Male or female? - I haven't really checked...!

You're still awake!

I thought you'd be snoring away. Have the kids gone to sleep?

They've gone to sleep with Janhvi.

That's good! They're at least getting along with Janhvi.

Aren't they distanced from you in the process?

Don't be silly! They can't distance themselves from me for so much!

- What is it? - Let's have dinner together.

That's the point.

Would they have let me leave the grand party without any food?

It was really a grand feast! I've had lots to eat!

Atleast sit with me, while I finish my dinner.

No, I can't... I'm terribly tired!

If I wait here another minute, I'll go to sleep right here!

I'm going to bed.

Open your mouth.

I've asked you to open your mouth, not your eyes.

You'd rather keep your eyes closed...

...and imagine Kajal is feeding you.

I'm not feeling like it.

Why must you punish your stomach for what you feel?

- I'm not feeling like it, I say. - Won't you open your mouth now?!

This one is from Preeti...

This is from Romy.

...and this is from Kajal.

And this little morsel is from me.

Where will I keep this...?

...this, which is more precious than all the riches in the world?

It belongs to me now.

- Can you... - Let's not stray from the subject!

I wonder why it never occurs to husbands...

...that their wives can be hungry, too.

Haven't you eaten as yet?

You think I've married you for nothing, do you?

Come... let's eat.

It's not food alone that a woman asks for.

What does that mean?

- There are other things she needs. - Like what?

A little place...

...if not in the husband's heart... at least at his feet!

I meet you in such a way...

...that I become your beloved

By making you an ocean...

...I become your thirst

My love indicates that I am crazy about you

In the name of fond memories...

...I have become yours, beloved

All your evenings are spent in my company

I look at you, and stay close to you

Let me make you hear...

...the sounds of my heartbeats

Let me become the feelings...

...that you can experience

By making you the earth...

...I become the sky

The world of my dreams...

...you have established it here

There's no inadequacy in my life now

You are my love, you are my world

Don't go far away from me, come into my arms

My heart is like a blank book...

Come, I will show it to you

If you write a story...

...I will become history

Where are you?

What does no vacancy mean, Daddy?

Don't you know? It means there's no room!

I'm glad you've applied the mark on his forehead.

I can at least be sure, should I be busy with something.

My God! I've got a Rotary-Club meeting to attend!

They've invited me as the Chief Guest today!

I must leave now, I'm already late. Okay, children...

- I'm leaving for the office. - Do remember to have your food.

Give the kids their breakfast, so they don't miss their bus.

I'll drop them at school, even if they miss the bus.

- Could you show me this address? - No, I can't.

- Why can't you? - That's my choice!

- Why must you choose that? - That's my choice!

- Where does Mr Jankidas live? - What does that mean to you?

Who will mean something to me, if not my daughter's father-in-law!

I see! So you are the dumb idiot's father, are you?!

- Why do you ask? - Was it necessary...

...for you to give birth to her?

Was it necessary for you to give birth to Harry then?

- That's my choice! - And this is my choice!

- That doesn't matter here! - Who is it?

The mother-in-law! How are you? Greetings!

0- Where's Harry and my daughter? - They've gone to see a film.

- Which film? - Well... please come inside.

You're going to make biryani with that rice, aren't you?

- You're right. - So this is your house, eh?

- Is this a rented place? - No.

- Do you own this house then? - Yes.

Who bought it? Your father did? Or was it your father-in-law?

- My husband bought it. - Really?

- How many rooms do you have? - One more than necessary!

- How much would you need? - One less than necessary!

- What does that amount to? - Just a minute...

Go inside and prepare some tea. In the meantime...

- I'll get it in a jiffy. - Will she use milk in the tea?

Sure! Poisonous milk! The bloody inquisitive nincompoop!

Let me ask you a question in good humour.

- How many questions? - Just one!

There's a desire that claims the heart...

...and a foot that is hung above...

- How much is my salary then? - Your salary?!

A truck carried the legend, Do not hanker for what others posses...

Suppose that truck ran over you... What colour would your face be?

- Why will it run me over? - A dog had 4 kilos of sweetmeat.

But it still weighed 4 kilos!

Where did the dog disappear from the sweets then?

- Where would the dog disappear? - You paint the house yellow...

...now tell me, which party will win the elections?

- Why are you getting silly? - Sachin slams six sixers...

...and why did Lara get out?

What's wrong with Harry's father-in-law?

Nothing, really... I had only to ask him some questions...

...and he fell in his own esteem!

Throw a card, Kajal.

Is that new necklace, Kajal? It looks expensive.

What difference does the cost make to rich folks like me?

Once I take a liking to something, I must have it.

Why hasn't Mrs Rao turned up today, Rita?

It happens to be her wedding anniversary today.

And whether or not she cares for her husband on other days...

...she always spends the day with her husband on their anniversary.

And the night, too!

Today's our wedding anniversary... You haven't forgotten, have you?

I have a full-hand.

I have 30 points to declare... How many points do you have, Kajal?

I have a full-hand, too!

Listen...

Is anybody home?

Where is everyone?

There's no way you can climb down anymore, my dear.

- Mother! - How could you forget...

...that today is your wedding anniversary!

I've rushed home, because I remembered.

Aren't you ashamed to say you've remembered ?

Where have you been all this while anyway?

I was playing cards at the club.

What?! I wish you had lied that you were away at a religious meet!

That would have caused me less of anguish!

Has money blinded you so much...

...that you've forgotten your husband, too?

God-forbid, if your husband forgets you...

...you won't know where to go!

Don't say such things, Mother!

They were all tired of waiting for you.

The kids were eagerly looking forward to going out.

Your husband and Janhvi had to take them out, after all.

I must leave now. I stayed back, so I could tell you this.

Please stay till they return, Mother.

What would I do by myself in such a big house?

My husband is alone at home. And he doesn't even have a second wife.

Hello! Do come in.

He has left for the office, hasn't he?

Of course. He left long ago.

I've missed out on him!

He must've been very angry with me last night, mustn't he?

Not at all... but he was a bit sad.

I was sad, too.

But I didn't do it deliberately! Couldn't he have reminded me?

All of us could have gone to a 5-star hotel and had lots of fun!

- He wasn't really angry, was he? - Not at all! I assure you.

No wonder! And my mother scolded me as if I had committed a grave sin!

Well, so what if I've lost this opportunity?

Preeti's birthday is fast approaching...

I'll throw a party that will create a flutter!

You've spent a lot of money on the party, haven't you?

Yes... I must've spent around 7 or 8 lakhs.

I'm proud of my daughter today. She's turned out to be a magician!

It appears as if she has brought all the happiness...

...and let it loose on the gathering!

What a party! It's great fun!

I don't agree, grandpa... It's no fun, really.

It would have been fun if grandma had taken us on a picnic...

...and uncle Harry had made us laugh with his antics.

Harry can't make anyone laugh anymore.

He's run out of the battery that made people laugh.

He's landed in the soup with marriage!

He was certainly better off as a bachelor!

I have landed in a soup by marrying...

I was better off as a bachelor

Marriage is like a delicacy which one regrets having eaten once...

...and those who don't, they hanker for it

It's a bitter delicacy which appears sweet from a distance

Whether she's a fairy, or she's fair or dark-complexioned

A wife is like a short-lived moonlight

The one who marries smiles only on the day of marriage

Thereafter he weeps all life long, having been trapped in the net

The one who is afflicted with this problem roams around aimlessly

Listen to what I say, Harry...

Listen to me, dear!

Listen, Mr. Hiralal!

If nobody married, everyone would have been bachelors

Then how would have the population increased?

If I hadn't married your mother...

...tell me, how would you would have been born?

May an idiot like you never be born again anywhere?

The moon and the stars have become my decorations

All my dreams have been fulfilled

I am so happy today having received the joys of life

I feel like dancing without tinkling the anklets

Just like day is incomplete without night...

...similarly, the vehicle of life doesn't move without the wheels

My dear ones... I shower everything on you

Look at this cute present!

Look at this, Preeti.

That's a cake from grandma!

- Where did you get it from? - Preeti's grandma left it behind.

She saw the huge birthday-cake at the party...

...and quietly gave me this cake, so it wouldn't be belittled.

Now tell me... have you ever had such a delicious cake?

Never! Not one baked with so much of love!

Let's open this wrapper now...

Why haven't you given me a present, mother?

Where could I have brought one from?

After the priceless present you have given me...

...I couldn't give you anything better in my life.

What have we given you?

Your love...

...that's something I have always craved for.

Let's have the cake first... and check out the presents later!

I'm sick and tired of applying henna on my hands!

It's so terribly middle-class, isn't it?

But what could I do? Everyone insisted...

...that I take part in a contest, today being the Karva Chauth.

I'm leaving for office, Kajal. Quickly apply the mark.

Don't be funny! Can't you see the henna I've applied on my hands?

Must I leave without the mark then?

Why must you leave without it? Ask Janhvi to apply it.

Apply the mark for me, Janhvi.

Actually...

Apply it for yourself today!

I'll go without the mark today... Let me see what goes wrong.

Wait... I'll apply the mark.

Where there is a will, there is always a way.

I must leave now.

- Greetings, doctor. - Greetings.

Can you rid people of their madness?

- What madness has gripped you? - It's not me!

It's my son, actually. He's suffering from filmonia

- Filmonia? - I mean...

He has this obsession of becoming a film-star.

Should he not be rid of this obsession, I'll go mad!

I'll cure him in minutes!

Actually, you must never make a man feel he's mad.

You must make him think that he's perfectly all right...

...and that whatever he's doing is perfectly okay, too!

I can't follow what you're saying! Tell me in short... what do I do?

Call your son over and see the wonders I work!

- Do I call him over? - Certainly!

Just have my fees ready and stop worrying about your son!

I'm not worried about my son anymore! I'm worried about the doctor now!

This man has had it!

People will now talk of him as a doctor who used to be!

Having seen this place, I feel like playing a doctor.

Then what are you waiting for? Get cracking!

Call for action!

- Where's the patient? - I'm the patient, of course.

So you are the patient and I'm the doctor, okay?

Why do you have that piece of rubber hanging from your neck?

You see how we bring a mad-man around, don't you?!

Well then... what are you ailing from?

I have a pain in my gums.

Must certainly be your wisdom-tooth, I say!

- Exactly! How did you know? - Your face says it all.

Please be seated.

Compounder... hold the patient firmly, okay?

Open your mouth...

Open it some more.

- Open it wider... - Do you plan to sit inside and...

- ...extract the tooth?! - Shut up!

Not a word from you! Just open your mouth!

Hold me tightly. - Heave-ho!

- Out with the gums...! - Heave-ho!

Hey! Just a minute...

- Shall we have another take? - Certainly!

I'll pluck his tongue out now!

Ask for action.

Where is the patient?

No one seems to be around, Vimla. Where are they?

They've gone to Fantasy Park with Madam Janhvi.

The kids must have waited for me, right?

No, Madam.

Why not? When the kids get to sit on the giant-wheel...

...they'd even forget the whole world!

But my husband must've insisted on waiting for me before leaving, right?

The master didn't say anything of the sort.

Oh, shut up! Why would he say anything in your presence?

He must've said it to the kids and you mustn't have heard it.

I was standing nearby all the time. The Master didn't say a word.

Why were you nearby? Is it necessary for you to know every word we utter?

Get on with your work!

She shirks her duties and listens to things we speak!

Well, dear... you're sitting all by yourself, are you?

Do come in.

I've just returned from shopping... which is why I'm relaxing.

- Everything is okay, I hope? - Of course. All is well.

The money I used to pay you as rent every month...

...is not enough to buy biscuits for my dogs now!

When did you ever pay the rent anyway?

That was a terribly small house, wasn't it?

You must have been getting bored...

...looking at your husband and kids all day.

And this is such a big house! A separate room for everyone, right?

With the air-conditioner, what say?

Which is why one can live... all by himself!

Beautiful house!

Is that an imported television-set? The sound-system, too?

Everything here seems to be imported.

Foolish of me to ask!

You've even found your husband an imported second-wife!

Where's your husband? Have you locked him away?

He's taken the kids to Fantasy-park.

Has Janhvi gone with them, too?

She's a foolish girl, isn't she?

Why must she go to these silly parks to make her husband and kids happy?

Should she spend 10,000 on their amusement, won't the kids be happy?

Spend some more... and the husband would be delighted, too.

But the foolish girl lacks your good sense.

She's a rich girl, who's been all over the world.

Then what would she have gone to the ordinary park for?

It's not to see how happy the kids are at their games, is it?

And how glad the husband is, when he sees his kids happy, too?

May I leave now?

That was fun, wasn't it?

There's Mummy's car!

Where had you gone away?!

Hey! What are you doing, Kajal?

Why didn't you tell me that you were coming here? I'd have joined in, too.

We didn't know when you'd return. Besides...

...we came only because the kids insisted.

That's all right. Let's go home now.

Go ahead... we'll follow you.

- Are you still angry with me? - Not at all.

- Then why don't you join me? - Because...

...I'm not rich enough to travel in cars.

I'll take a bus instead.

When he's taking a bus, how can I travel in the car?

Come along, kids... Let's go together.

We came here with Papa, didn't we?

Wouldn't he mind it, if we returned with you?

Let's go.

Sister! Do come in!

Go to your rooms and sleep, Romy and Preeti. Go on...

- I want to play some more! - You can play tomorrow! Come along!

We like it with... with Mother.

I am your mother!

You're Mummy... and this is our mother.

Will you shut up and come along or do I give you a slap?!

Shut that thing! Go on!

Do you need to be told separately?

No...

She thinks she's too smart... that's what!

But these tricks won't work with me.

She's the Mother... Mother, indeed!

Neither do I wear any ornaments...

Nor do I wear a garland made out of sandalwood

With the ornaments of your love...

I adorn myself

Both the heart and the soul...

...are melted by the warmth of your breath

Your lips are softer...

than the softness of flowers, 0 beloved

Separation...separation... May it never happen

Who else but only you can quench my thirst, O darling...

I had to neglect my chores for a few days...

...and she claims to be the biggest sympathiser of my husband and kids!

But it'll take me minutes to woo them back!

They need to have breakfast I prepare, only for 2 days...

...they'd forget who she is!

Listen... set the table quickly.

Just see how I have them eating out of my hands now!

That's like a good girl...

Your pancakes are excellent, Mother! Let me have another.

The breakfast is really excellent today, Janhvi.

Damn it! I just can't wake up early!

But I'll set the alarm and wake up even earlier tomorrow.

- Now what do I do... - I'm leaving, Janhvi.

Do return soon, okay?

I used to pity you... but I can't do even that now!

What have I done that you should be so angry with me?!

Answer me! What have I done?!

For the blunder you've committed, you still ask what you've done?!

You're the one who has set your peace and happiness on fire...

...and you're now afraid of the flames that engulf you?

Mother...

You've made lots of money, haven't you?

Money that will last you all your life?

But do you have a life worth spending now?

Could I have some sugar, please?

I'll get it for you.

You're Kajal, aren't you?

Look at the irony... My husband has deserted me...

...and you've walked out on your man.

Both of us have been most unfortunate.

What nonsense are you talking, Kajal? I hope you're in your senses!

I've said this, only because I've come to my senses!

Only I know what I have lost!

I don't want this bungalow or the cars and the luxuries!

Give it away to me, in that case.

That will at least put an end to the fight!

Will you keep quiet? She's saying something.

Well, all right. Go on. - Ask her

to take back all the wealth and return my husband to me.

- How can you... - Wait a minute.

- What does this mean? - It's clear.

Just pack your bags and return to your house!

Do you think your husband will return to you, if I go away?

He could leave with me, too.

You see that, don't you, Mother? Isn't she arrogant!

She has distanced my husband and my kids from me. And yet...

Why are you cursing the poor soul?

Haven't you have yourself shattered the peace of your family...

- ...for wealth and status? - Now look, Kajal.

My niece has a greater right over Raj, than you have.

Really? And how is that? How is that?

She is Raj's legally wedded-wife and loves him, too!

Don't I love him then?

What would you know of love?

You? Who has sold her husband for wealth?

How can you ask Janhvi to leave? Why don't you leave instead?!

I'll give you as much money as you ask for! Come on, clear...

Mother!

That's a great opportunity, dear... Make a demand.

He'll pay you any amount you ask for.

You can buy many more bungalows and cars with the money, can't you?

Father...

I don't even know what I must say to you at this moment, dear.

Wealth spells happiness... isn't that what you had said?

You have all the wealth today.

But I don't know of anyone poorer than you are.

Don't cry, Mummy.

If you were to be offered money...

...would you sell Pinky and me, too?

My life is a yearning

What a luck I have

I lost everything despite having everything

I don't have anything now

Having lost my blissful life...

I am defeated now that I am weeping

I have been punished for all my mistakes

I lost so much

I cheated myself

I have no desires anymore, 0 my beloved

Let's eat together.

For all you know, we might never get this opportunity again.

Feed me... Feed me with your own hands.

For all you know, we might never get this opportunity again.

Do feed me...

Please forgive me... I'll never make such a mistake again!

I'll never do it again!

Never again...

But he just doesn't care for us!

He's never thought of giving his children a decent English-education.

He has never thought of building a house for his wife...

...or buying her some jewellery.

It's disgusting! I wonder why such useless men even get married?!

Be brave, Kajal...!

I've really turned my life into hell!

I've been ruined... I've been plundered!

I wish I could die... I'd then be rid of my guilt!

- I'd be rid of it all, if I die! - What are you saying, Kajal?

You must always try to retrieve that which you have lost...

...not kill yourself for your loss.

You don't know anything about me!

I know everything... Mr Hasmukh has told me everything about you.

The sorceress has my husband firmly under her control!

She has even cast a spell on my children and distanced them from me!

Don't be silly!

Just return Janhvi's wealth to her and ask her to return.

I have tried everything...

...but she's just not willing to budge from her stand!

- What will I do now? - How can anyone do that?

Why don't you consult a competent lawyer instead?

What are you thanking me for? I've only done my duty.

There's someone downstairs asking for you, sir.

Must be a client. Please wait, while I go and meet her.

I see... so, it's you, eh?

What brings you here now?

I want to marry my husband again.

All right... you can laugh at me, too.

Everyone seems to be laughing at my plight.

I'm sorry, but I laughed...

...because you're treating marriage to be a game for children.

Do you remember? I had advised you against divorcing your husband?

But you didn't agree with me.

You were bent on having your husband married legally once again.

And that would not have been possible without a divorce.

The same rule still applies.

Should you want to marry your former-husband again...

...his present wife will have to give him a divorce.

Does she consent to the arrangement?

- No. - Then how is this possible?

I don't know all that!

Just have the witch thrown out of my house!

But that is impossible.

Why is it impossible?! The divorce was only make-believe.

I had to compromise with the law!

To tell you the truth, I am still Raj's wife.

No. Janhvi is now Raj's wife... not you.

Why not?! Am I not still wearing the matrimonial-necklace?

Sure, you are. But that's a mere piece of jewellery now.

A show-piece.

Please don't say that!

I am still his wife, at heart and soul!

But Janhvi is now his wife, according to the law.

Then who am I? Who am I?!

I can't bring myself about to say it...

...but I will, since you insist.

You're no more than a widow who has yet to acknowledge the truth.

Get out of his house! Get lost, or I'll slaughter you!

What nonsense is this? Have you gone mad?!

Yes! I have gone mad!

You've tempted me with money and driven me crazy!

Will you get lost now, or...

Stop it, or I'll break your arm!

For all my tolerance, you seem to be getting worse!

What's that? Who's been tolerating it all? You? Or is it me?!

I had to give you an inch, and you grab everything In sight!

You're trying to snatch my husband from me!

Snatch him, my foot! He's my husband, too!

Oh, shut up! It was because of my consent that he could marry you!

Consent?! You've extracted a price! You've sold him to me!

Cut the nonsense, or I'll smash your face in!

- What have I sold to you? - You've sold your husband, no less!

And it is that money you have used to buy all this, too!

Well, okay... So this house belongs to me, right?

You've no right to stay here anymore! Just get the hell out of here!

- What the hell is all this?! - Okay...

...you come with. Just come along!

- He's not going anywhere! - How won't he go with me?!

Don't you dare touch him!

He's my husband! And only I have a right to him!

Cut me into two pieces! Just slice me apart!

You can have one portion each!

You ought to be ashamed of yourself!

Are you saying that to me?

Yes! I'm saying this to you, Kajal!

You couldn't have treated me any worse!

You have crossed all limits of decency!

You're the one who has set your house on fire...

...and you now talk of your rights?!

The question of rights has been settled.

You had asked for a copy of Raj and Kajal's divorce-papers, Janhvi.

I have the copy with me.

You just needn't be intimidated by this greedy woman anymore!

Let her keep the bungalows and the riches to herself...

...but she has no rights over Raj now!

Come along... let's go home.

You must accompany us, too, Raj. I'd hate to see my niece's husband...

...have anything to do with another woman!

Wait! You can't walk out on me like this!

You love me too much to do that!

I wish I didn't really love you as much.

It's because of my love for you that I've given in to each of your demand.

I have married again, only because I love you.

You always reminded me of our love...

...and kept pushing me closer and closer to Janhvi.

All the while, distancing me from your own self.

It was our love that bound us together...

- How could you sell that love? - No!

The deal has been struck, Kajal. You've got the price you demanded...

...and your love now belongs to Janhvi.

It'll be a betrayal, not to go with her now.

Justice demands that I stay with Janhvi, as her husband.

Take us along, Daddy.

We want to stay with Mother... Not mummy.

Please don't leave me like this!

Please don't leave me!

I'd die without you!

Please don't leave me!

I've brought Raj and the kids' passports.

So, what's next?

I thought I'd spend a peaceful life with Raj.

But neither Raj nor I can ever be happy here.

There's no need to worry, dear.

I'll book you on the first available flight to America.

Is that okay, Raj? - I don't control my life anymore.

It was sold ages ago.

You may do anything you both deem fit.

You're being crazy, my dear!

Your husband won't return even if you donate all your wealth to charities!

I know he won't return.

But what would I do with the wealth anyway?

I was under the impression that I was buying happiness for my family.

But none of that was true.

I wonder what madness had gripped me.

I wish they could realise...

...that my husband and kids mean more to me than these riches.

Should they forgive me for what I have done...

...I'll be happy achieving that much in this life.

Sign these documents, Kajal.

- Give it another thought... - You ought to be ashamed!

Go ahead and sign the papers, dear.

You will at least get the blessings of countless deprived people.

Where are you going?

I want to see my husband and children to my heart's content, one last time.

Let me seek their forgiveness for my sins...

I don't know where I will go, after I have done that.

Mr Raj and Janhvi have left for America with the children.

What?! When did they leave?

It's an hour now. You might meet them at the airport, if you rush there.

Take me to the airport!

Pain and love, union and separation...

That's how life is

How can anyone put a price on it?

Love is priceless

We'll get lots of ice-cream there, won't we?

No... I'm not here to assert my rights.

I haven't even come to stop you from going.

But I couldn't do without taking one last look at all of you.

Which is why I've rushed here.

I've made a mistake, haven't I? I'll have to pay for it, too.

I've donated all the wealth to charities.

I haven't kept anything for myself.

Not a penny.

I will always pray for your happiness, wherever you are.

Just take care of the children, okay?

Before you leave, can I touch you, one last time?

Whenever you set out from home...

...I used to apply the red-mark on your forehead.

Now that you're going away from the country...

...can you permit me to apply the red-mark, one last time?

It's time for the flight, Janhvi!

I'm not worthy of being forgiven, Janhvi.

But should you ever be reminded of this mad-woman...

...do write to me and let me know of the kids' well-being.

- It's getting late, Janhvi. - I know.

I'm leaving, Raj.

I had bought only one ticket.

I'm going alone, Raj.

The kids and Raj are not leaving with me, sister.

Kajal's mistake wasn't so grave as the one I had made.

It was I who was selfish, to begin with.

Which is what led me into making Kajal greedy, too.

Greed is indeed a great weakness of human-beings.

One craves for that which the heart has taken a liking to.

And we then pursue the matters of the heart.

But this is wrong... We shouldn't be doing it.

Besides, can love ever be bought and sold?

Don't ever think that my love for you has diminished, Raj.

In fact, I love you more than I ever did.

It was you who had to put up with the worst, in this tug of war.

I forcibly bound you with myself.

I continued to wreak one injustice after another in my love for you...

...and you continued to sacrifice your love, only for the sake of justice?

- But, Janhvi... - Please! Speak no more!

I have seen for myself how deeply you love Kajal.

She loves you, too.

Just get married to her all over again.

I've signed all necessary documents and left them with the lawyer.

I must leave now.

No... don't go away, Janhvi.

Let's stay together... I promise, we'll certainly be happy.

I know that.

But I must atone for my sins, too, mustn't I?

No, Janhvi...

I've already got my share of love, sister.

In fact, I have got more than the share I was entitled to.

I'm not going alone, sister.

I'm taking Raj away in my heart...

...and his baby in my womb.

The moment I give birth to Raj's baby...

...you'll be the first one I'll send his photograph to.

Do place your hand on it and bless the child.

I came to the courtyard of your house...

...in the form of the sacred Tulsi (basil plant)

May you be blessed with your husband

...and I, with my loneliness

May God never separate you ever again in your lives.

Separation...separation

What a separation this is!

Pray that I...

...can live without you, O beloved

O beloved...O
