Here, Aarti. I've got your ticket confirmed. - Thanks.

What does it say? Are you lucky today?

It's says whatever I wish will happen.

It's still time for the train to depart. Let's have something.

Come.

Aarti, don't be tensed that...

even this time you're going without a job from here.

You see. Very soon you will get a good job.

And whenever you come to Delhi, stay with me.

Most welcome!

Even I will try.

Even I have some contacts. I'll talk to them and write to you.

I've got so many interview letters...

that now even the postman is fed up.

Even he has started making fun of me.

He says that I must consult a good astrologer.

Forget that. Your sister and her husband...

don't say anything, do they?

Sister is okay. But brother-in-law often taunts me.

I'll be happy only if I find a good job soon...

and become independent.

Don't worry. You will find a job soon.

[Train announcement]

Aarti, that's seat no.30. Sit here.

Keep the luggage there.

When will it reach Kathgodam? - At 2 p.m.

Excuse me! - Sorry!

And you will reach Nainital by evening, right?

Yes. By 5 p.m.

It's time for my office. I'll take your leave.

Convey my regards to your sister and brother-in-law.

[Train horn blares]

Bye. - Bye.

Thief! He took away my bag.

Pull the chain. - Please don't pull the chain.

Now what's the use? The thief has escaped.

Now at the most we can lodge a complaint at the next station.

For that we'll have to leave this train.

Who knows when we might get another one.

It would be better if you lodge a complaint at your station.

Please sit down.

[Sobbing]

I agree that your purse is stolen...

in which there was money and ticket.

But I can't help you in any way.

You'll have to get down at the next station with me.

How much for the ticket? - Rs.65 and Rs.50 fine. Rs.115.

You make the receipt. I'll give you the money.

Your name? - Aarti.

Age? - 21 years.

[Sobbing]

Thank you! - It's ok!

Here some money, sister. - No, it's okay.

You'll have to take a bus to Nainital.

Keep it.

Thank you.

[Train rumbling]

How are you, Aarti? How was your interview?

I am asking you something. Why don't you answer?

Your face shows that you have returned without a job...

even this time.

They said that they will inform in 1-2 weeks.

Wish they took the interview through letters only.

At least it will save my money.

She want to work!

Aarti, when did you come?

Why don't you ask why have I come here?

You've just stepped into the house. And you're so angry?

Your husband says that wish they took my interview...

through letters. At least it will save his money.

Did it spoil your mood?

Because I teased your sister?

How many times I've told her to learn tailoring and knitting.

She can make good income from it.

But no. She wanted a degree.

Now that she has got a degree, why is she making these efforts?

You only gave her money to go for the interview.

Why are you being upset now?

I had given the money for your happiness.

And I'm upset because it hurts me.

It's been years. But I still couldn't understand you.

What are you likes and dislikes.

I like what other's dislike.

You didn't understand, right?

You received so many marriage proposals.

But they rejected you.

But I liked you.

Just the same way. Understand?

No need for that. - Forget it, Aarti. Don't be angry.

You won't feel bad about anything your husband says.

I am bad. I live for free in this house.

Okay, tell me. What about your job?

I didn't get it. And I never will.

What happened? Why are you talking like this?

I am so unfortunate, sister.

All my dreams, my studies... [Crying]

My efforts are ruined.

But tell me what happened.

A thief snatched my bag in the train.

My degree, my certificates. Everything is lost.

You tell me. How will I get a job without certificates?

Keep quiet. I said, don't cry.

What is destined to happen, will happen.

Don't cry.

I'll try to get the duplicate copies of my certificates.

But you don't tell your husband until then.

If he says anything, I won't be able to bear it.

[Crying]

Calm down.

Sir, what's the time?

11:25 a.m. - Thank you.

[Train announcement]

Would you like to have water? - No, thanks.

My name is Raju Narula. - My name is Deepak.

Nice name. - Thank you.

Do you work in Delhi? - No, I work in Kerala.

I had come to Delhi regarding official work.

I'm going back to Kerala.

I start talking to people as soon as I sit in a train.

I don't like sitting quietly like a statue.

My job is such that I have to travel frequently.

If you don't mind, can you give your birth date and address?

Why? Are you an astrologer?

No. Just to carry on this friendship.

We both will alight at different stations.

But if I know your birth date, I can send you a greeting card.

And at least you will remember me at that time.

That's a good habit.

Sir, your name? - Raju Narula.

Birth date? - 7-4-1940.

Address?

24, Pahadgunj, New Delhi.

Thank you!

Deepak, even you give me your birth date.

I don't have any birth date.

What?! - Yes, I'm an orphan.

I don't know my birthday.

That's why I wish other's on their birthdays.

I like it.

I'm sorry, Deepak.

You don't need to be sorry.

Is this your purse? - No, it's a ladies purse.

[Train horn blares]

Certificate! Aarti!

I'll check in this compartment. I think a girl forgot her purse.

But I'm the first one to come in this compartment.

Is it? Then what do we do? We'll give it to the TC.

Why will he take the responsibility? He'll throw it.

Alright, then we'll give it to the police on the next station.

They'll surely sent it.

Yes, but by the time it reaches that girl, she'll be old.

Do one thing. Give it to me. I'll send it by post.

No, you don't bother. I'll send it.

[Music]

"The rain is pouring in the off season."

Deepak, you're back? How was the journey?

First class.

Where are you going? - Kutty is sick.

I'm going to take medicine for her.

You're drenched. Go inside.

"The rain is pouring in the off season."

[Door opens]

[Humming a song]

So tell me.

What are you doing? - Nothing.

A girl lost her purse in the train.

I found it. So I'm sending it back.

How do you know it was a girl?

Because this is a ladies purse.

I see. What was her age? - 21 years.

How did she look? - I did not see her.

When you did not see her, how did you come to know...

that she is 21?

I saw her certificates in this purse.

I see!

My heart says that if she gets her lost purse back...

your love story will begin.

You're too much. All her certificates are in this purse.

She might not get a job without them.

Her entire future might get spoiled.

That's why I'm sending this purse back to her.

[Coughs]

Oh my God.

My dear. Are you fine?

So you had hidden this affair from me.

Brother Niranjan. I don't understand what this girl says.

You don't understand?

Nothing. - She is saying...

My dear. Are you fine?

You took so long to return.

You took so long to return.

When I am away from you I become restless.

When I am away from you I become restless.

When will you understand this?

Look.

This evening I will wait for you at Marine Drive at 5 O'clock.

You have to come.

Look.

This evening I will wait for you at Marine Drive at 5 O'clock.

You have to come. She loves you so much.

I don't love this girl. Explain it to her.

You neither love her nor the lady from the purse.

Whom do you love, brother?

I don't love anyone.

At least love someone.

At least love some girl.

You are young. You are a man.

It is necessary for your honour.

Look...

How long will be a bachelor? I am fed up of you. Get lost!

O beautiful invention of science, O messenger of lovers...

my respects to you.

God, do something that all the girls in my area fall in love.

And they fall in love with not one, but ten at a time.

You only think. When the girl will come to my shop...

several times to talk to her lover on the phone...

I will mint money.

God, send a young girl at my shop quickly.

God, please take care of me.

I want to do a long distance call.

The phone is out of order. - Strange man!

The frogs get trapped instead of the fish!

Where are the young and beautiful girls of this area?

All the oldies are coming.

It's Friday today. They must've gone to the temple.

That's where love begins. Good for us.

"I came to meet you with an excuse of going to the temple"

You son of a crow, why are you singing in your tuneless voice?

I wanted to say that whatever you're saying, is absolutely true.

Now have tea.

Tell me something.

Did you sip my tea as you do for others?

No, sir. This tea is absolutely fresh like you.

Bravo!

Grandpa!

What did you say? - Grandpa.

Grandpa? - Yes.

Are you out of your mind?

Don't say such horrible things again?

There's not much age difference between us.

Hardly 6 months. 4-5 months less I must say.

[Gasps]

I am younger to you. So call me younger brother.

What? - Yes, younger brother.

And when I sit in the shop, call me Sir.

I am your boss. Sir. - Sir.

Sir, I have doubt in my mind since many days.

Shall I ask you? - Sure.

There's furniture, there's a stove... - Yes.

There's a fan, and also picture of deities. - Yes.

Then why do you worship this telephone of all the things?

You fool, have you seen a banyan tree?

Yes. I have.

That tree has thousands of roots.

But there's one main root. If we cut that main root...

will the tree remain still? - It won't.

Similarly this is the main root of our business.

How? - You didn't understand, right?

And the young girls in this area come to our shop...

...because of this phone. To phone their boyfriends.

Ok, And all the boys come in this shop to see the girls.

They can't say that they've come to woo the girls.

That's why they buy something to eat.

So their purpose is served and our business does well.

Now tell me which is the main root of our business?

This phone.

Then what should we worship? - This phone.

Then go ahead. - Oh God! - Good.

[Cycle bell rings]

Aarti, every day you received an interview call letter.

Today there's a parcel for you.

Parcel? - Parcel?

A parcel for me? Who has sent it?

Please sign here.

Who has sent it? - I don't know.

Deepak. 5 Palanpalli Nagar. MG Road. Cochin. Kerala.

Who is this Deepak? - I don't know.

Open it and check.

My purse!

See if the certificates are there. - Yes.

Sister!

My degree!

Oh God. Sister!

But they were lost in Delhi. Then how did they come from Kerala?

I don't know. But thank God.

Thank this man too.

Write a letter to thank him.

Yes, sister.

Deepak.

Akash.

The dress you sent for me has become loose.

Yes. Tell him about this loose dress.

And that the boys are also fretting on seeing this loose dress.

Uncle. Don't disturb me while I am talking. - Yes.

Talk to him till you mother doesn't catches you red handed...

...and whacks you.

The dress you have sent... Uncle, the phone is disconnected.

What are you saying? - Yes. - Yes. It is.

That's the problem here. Sometimes the phone gets disconnected...

...and sometimes the electricity. No problem. He will call again.

What were you saying to Akash about loose dress?

Yes uncle. This dress is loose. - Turn around. No problem.

Junior, bring needle and thread from inside.

I will fix this dress. - No, uncle.

There is no need. - Don't worry.

I used to be a good tailor before. - No. No. It is fine this way.

You don't want. Sit here. We will talk.

Yes? - One inland letter please.

It will take time. Talk to your boyfriend on the phone directly.

Mind your tongue. I don't have any boyfriend.

Sorry.

Wrong number.

What do you want? - Just 4 sentences in Hindi.

Are just 4 sentences enough?

[Clears throat]

Will 4 sentences be enough? - Yes.

Tell me.

Give me the chalk.

You look very good.

You look very good.

I love you.

I love you.

I want to marry you.

I want to marry you.

Let's elope from home?

Let's elope from home?

Let's elope from home?

That's enough. Thank you.

[Knock on door]

Who is it?

Niranjanbhai, why did you let this girl in?

She wanted to learn 4 sentences in Hindi. She learnt them, so she left.

But what took you so long today?

I had a lot of work at the office. - Here's a letter for you.

'A tale, I write of my heart'

'With a hope that I'll see you soon'

'A tale, I write of my heart'

Is it Ms. Parcel's love letter?

You won't improve! You can only think of love all the time!

I had parcelled her certificates. She's written a letter thanking me.

I see!

If you don't believe me, then read it!

I never read letters of thanks. I'd have read it if it was a love letter.

When you get a love letter next time, give it to me. I'll keep reading it.

I love to read love letters.

I believe in love.

It's very urgent. Do it fast.

Mr. Deepak, the MD is calling you.

Yes, I have a sister concern in Delhi. I'll speak there.

They'll do the needful.

Good. Good.

No, I'll speak right away.

Okay, bye.

Come in, Deepak. Please sit.

A fish consignment was supposed to be exported to Singapore. Is it done?

It was loaded into the ship last night. It will leave today.

Good, good! So, have you learnt Malayalam or not?

Very little. I tried hard to learn the language, but...

That's why I face a slight problem at work.

That reminds me, there's a problem in our Container Section.

Apachand. Go and see what the matter is.

Okay, sir. Anything else, sir?

Nothing, you may go. - Thank you.

What is Apachand's problem? - Sir, he does not let anybody work.

Apachand, the company...

Tell him that the company pays him to work, not to rest!

Company pays you to work, not to rest!

Also tell him that he should work diligently or I'll have him sacked!

Work diligently or he'll have you sacked!

Ask him if you want to go to Delhi alive or as a parcel?

What did he say!

He asked... he asked if you want to go to Delhi alive or as a parcel?

Come with me.

Come here.

Ask all our men to finish him off!

What are you doing? Sending birthday cards to people?

Yes. There are many birthdays this month.

So I thought I'll send cards to all of them, together.

Mr. Deepak... do you have some perfume?

Take this.

Thank you.

But where are you going, so dressed up at night?

I told you, this is beyond your understanding!

Write the cards!

[Whistling]

[Humming]

What's this? You've sneaked into bed instead of going out?

I think I'll have to explain!

You are still young. Many girls will want to fall in love with you.

But who is going to fall for me?

I can think about love only in dreams.

Therefore, I bathe and dress up properly.

So that if a girl comes in my dreams, I appear presentable to her!

My time's up!

Good night. Bye.

[Laughs]

Deepak.

This girl has learnt Hindi for you. - One minute.

What is it? - This girl has learnt Hindi for you.

She wants to tell them to you.

Her girl has learnt 4 sentences in Hindi. She wants to tell them to you.

I see. Then, ask her to say them.

Speak.

You are very good looking.

I love you.

I want to marry you.

Let's elope from home?

My daughter speaks very good Hindi, doesn't she?

Superb. Very good.

My foot, it's good! Explain to her mother what she's said.

She will break her legs!

I cannot explain to her. - Why not?

Because I have taught her those lines. Her mother will break my legs!

Niranjanbhai, you...! - Yes, I will never improve.

Come daily.

I'll teach you Hindi.

What did you tell her now?

I asked her to come to me daily. I'd teach her Hindi.

Will you sit quietly or not?!

Why are you getting angry? I'm doing something noble.

At least under this pretext, Hindi will spread to every corner of India.

Do you have some biscuits?

I'm very proud of you, my student.

Thank you.

When a young boy writes to a girl, it's generally a love letter.

But Deepak has not written anything of that sort.

He remembered your birthday, and even sent you a nice card.

Aarti..

This proves that he is not only a decent boy but a responsible one too.

Yes.

Give that.

And a man can get responsible only after marriage.

Perhaps he has a wife and kids too.

Aarti, I think you should write to him, inviting him to come here...

...whenever he comes to Nainital with his family. What do you say?

[Laughs]

Will you just keep laughing or even say something?

She thinks I'm a married man, and have kids too.

What! - Yes.

She has said that whenever I go to Nainital with my family...

...I should definitely come to her house.

You keep writing to one another, under some pretext or the other.

I think both of you have fallen in love.

There you go again! It's nothing!

No? - No!

Aren't you in love with her? - I have never ever been in love!

Then why are you repeatedly writing to her?

What! - Stop writing to her!

Niranjanbhai, one minute.

She has invited me to come to her place with my whole family.

Okay.

I can't go to her place.

But if I don't even reply to her, what will she think about me?

I should at least write to her and clear off her misunderstanding, right?

Correct.

[Temple bell rings]

Aarti, what is the matter? - Nothing, sister.

Tell me what's wrong.

I've told you, you cannot lie to me. Your face betrays you.

Something is surely the matter. What is it?

I received Deepak's letter today. - I see.

He's a very nice boy.

I felt bad hearing that he has nobody of his own.

He has been an orphan all his life.

No, Aarti. Nobody is an orphan.

Everyone finds someone to share his joys and sorrows with.

Write a letter pacifying him. He will love that. Okay?

Let's go.

If she gets married to someone else...

...then how can she be your life partner?

You are unnecessarily putting me in a dilemma.

No! In fact, I am trying to solve the dilemma you are in.

Find out about the way she feels.

Write to her and ask her whether she feels love or only sympathy for you.

Ms. Aarti, I received your letter, and am in a dilemma after reading it.

You have written that nobody is an orphan in this world.

That you'd be by my side forever and share my joys and sorrows.

But only a wife can provide such an eternal companionship.

So, what do I make of it? Have you, indeed, fallen in love with me?

Or have you written it only to provide solace?

Is it sympathy or love?

Do write and solve my dilemma. Deepak.

[Sister] Aarti! Aarti!

[Sister] Dry the clothes outside. - Coming, sister!

But only a wife can provide such an eternal companionship.

Is it sympathy or love?

Do write and solve my dilemma.

Is it sympathy or love?

Do write and solve my dilemma.

But only a wife can provide such an eternal companionship.

But only a wife can provide such an eternal companionship.

"My love, such is the state of my heart..."

"I write day when it's night, and dusk, when it's dawn"

"I've been driven to such restlessness..."

"I now pen a letter to you"

"This is the first ever time I've fallen in love..."

"This is the first ever time I've fallen in love..."

"I know not what I am to do"

"Love has driven me to despair..."

"Love has driven me to despair..."

"How will I write how my heart pines"

"Send me a picture of yours in the envelope"

"I'll come and see you in person, placate yourself for the time being"

"You're so naive"

"You're so nice"

"You're so simple"

"You're such a gem, too"

"This is the first ever time I've fallen in love..."

"I know not what I am to do"

"Love has driven me to despair..."

"Love has driven me to despair..."

"I know not what I am to do"

[Music]

I knew it! I knew that you would surely fall in love!

When people can fall in love in the hot deserts of Rajasthan...

...in the densely populated crowds of Mumbai...

...in the highly polluted city of Delhi...

...then how could a girl living in Nainital's valleys not fall in love?

Do use my phone. - No, sir, not the phone!

She wants an Inland Letter. - For what?!

Well, she always comes to buy an Inland Letter.

I don't want an Inland Letter, I want this shop's phone number.

I'll give it to you!

[Music]

Amazing! You said you'd be back soon, and you sit here!

I was waiting for you down.

Whose letter is it?

Aarti's.

I see! The game of love is such.

This parcel, this sweater...

Has Aarti sent it? Wow!

Let me see what kind of a sweater she has sent for my buddy!

Didn't you kiss her letter?

Come off it, Niranjanbhai!

The sweater is very beautiful...

...but even more beautiful, is the 'Deepak' (lamp) she has knit.

But why has she knit a lamp?

Didn't you understand? - No.

She has given my name an expression.

I shouldn't be asking, but nevertheless, what has she written?

Aarti is a very different kind of a girl.

Only because she's knit a lamp?

No, that's not it.

She wants me to wear this sweater the first time we meet.

So that she'll be able to identify me.

Just like an identification card, this is an identification sweater!

But she could have sent her picture.

I did ask her for her picture. - And?

But... I told you, she's different.

Do you know what's she's written? - What?

That we won't meet or see each other, not even in pictures.

Whether I'm good looking or ugly, dark or fair...

...it doesn't matter to her.

And she says that the way she looks shouldn't matter to me either.

She wants us to fix the wedding date the day we meet for the first time.

People always see each other, and then fall in love.

But ours will be a different love story.

Isn't she different? - Yes, she is.

But is it possible to fall in love without seeing or meeting a person?

Yes, it is possible, Niranjanbhai. And I shall prove it to you!

I love Aarti, and always will.

Without seeing or meeting her.

Fine. Don't meet her. But you can at least hear her voice.

Write to her asking her to phone you at office!

She will not be able to phone me, I'll have to call her.

Then, get up!

She doesn't have a phone at home.

She's given me the number of a shop nearby.

And said that she'd wait for my phone between 12-1 p.m. on Sunday.

Are you wondering when Sunday will arrive?

[Coughs]

I don't want to have any relationship with you now.

Forget about me.

What's happened to her suddenly?

I had told her about your love for Aarti.

But she just would not believe it.

Now that she's heard us, she believes it. So she's angry.

She's gone. This was inevitable.

Love is so queer! It makes a person go so insane!

The mind wanders in one direction, the hand, in another.

You feel hungry but cannot eat, you feel sleepy but cannot sleep!

You cannot say what you want to! - Will you please be quiet?

I'm quiet. I thought I'll talk to you till you receive your call. - Please.

Hello. There's a queue.

Okay, I'll write.

Okay.

How much?

Tell me something. How does your boyfriend look?

Does he look handsome, is he a body builder? How does he look?

I have not seen him.

No?! And you are in love with him!

Implying, my phone is the only source of communication?

Shall I tell you something? Please don't be offended.

Nowadays, boys and girls meet each other a thousand times...

...yet their marriage ends in no time!

And you have not even seen him! I doubt your love will last very long.

Please! Will you remain quiet?!

Yes. Okay, bye.

How much?

Rs.19.75.

Omna? Is everybody fine there?

Baiju is here. Shall I give him the phone? Just wait.

Come soon... speak.

Hello?

Yes.

Sir, urgent call.

Girlfriend waiting in Nainital.

He wants to make an urgent call. Can he?

Thank you.

I'll place the receiver down.

Rs.21.50.

[Phone rings]

Hello.

Hello, is it Aarti? This is Deepak speaking.

Down with!

Please speak loudly. This is Aarti from Nainital.

Please speak loudly! I can't hear a thing!

You can't? This is Deepak speaking... from Cochin.

There's a procession being taken out here. Please speak loudly!

But I can hear you clearly. Please say something, Aarti.

Glory to... - Hello...

Please speak loudly!

This is Deepak from Cochin. I got your letter, did you receive mine?

Deepak, I can't hear a word! Please speak loudly!

I received your sweater. It's very nice!

I can't hear a word! Please speak loudly!

Hello Aarti. - Deepak.

Aarti. - Deepak.

Deepak.

Deepak.

Deepak.

Hello?

Speak loudly!

Deepak.

What...

Aarti, what happened? - The line got disconnected.

Did you get through?

Did you speak to your girlfriend?

Rs. 103.

How much, sir?

Rs. 103.

Sir, I have only Rs. 100.

Pay the rest when you come back.

Okay.

Wait awhile. He will surely phone again. Speak to him and go.

No, it's very late. I ought to return home now.

If he phones later, shall l send my boy to fetch you?

No. Ask him to phone next Sunday if possible.

[Chuckles]

So many girls come here.

Some flaunt their dresses, some, their bodies.

She is the first girl who has displayed her heart!

Friend, help this girl reach her love.

Hey, wait!

Give me the files!

Just be concerned about your work! Understand?

[Groans]

You appear worried. What's the matter?

A problem has cropped up between the workers and me.

I think I'll quit the job.

You'll face this problem wherever you go, as you are honest and sincere.

Why don't you tell your boss about it?

My MD is not here, he'll come back after a couple of days.

But when he returns, I'll surely speak to him.

Your problem is that since the time you've come here from Agra...

...you shuffle your time only between your home and office.

Between one island to another.

I notice that your life is confined to these boundaries.

Despite living in Kerala...

Hey! Bring it soon! - Yes.

Hurry up!

You've not seen a thing in Kerala.

The splendid places here, its specialities... like this one.

I say that you won't get this anywhere in the world! Eat it and see.

Sir, my mother is ill.

My sister too is coming of age. I've got to get her married.

I see!

And my grandma too is not keeping well.

Don't you have any more relatives?

My aunt is pregnant.

I see. And what about your mother's mother?

Even she is ailing. - I see!

Why does this happen only in my shop?

These boys are perfectly fine when they are working elsewhere.

But the moment they come to work here...

...all their relatives begin to fall sick!

You want your pay, don't you? - I swear by your head, sir!

No, please don't swear by my head! I have a headache.

I'll settle all accounts today! - Hey, Gullu...

bring the money. Let me settle his account today!

Take this.

Shall I keep all of it? - Yes, son, all of it.

Sir, you are like an angel! - Bless you, son!

Hey, listen! Where are you going so soon? There's still some more.

Some more?! - Of course!

Look! Here it is.

What's this?

The telephone bill, the electricity bill...

...the milkman's bill, the grocery bill...

All these bills amount to Rs.9995.

Pay the bills and bring back the five rupees to me.

I will then think what to do about your pay. Take this!

Enough of this. My head is aching. Switch on the radio.

How's the headache now?

The same.

Remove your spectacles. I'll apply some balm for you.

Aarti, come inside.

Well... Aarti wants to tell you something.

There's been an interview call from Delhi.

Jency too has asked me to come.

I may have to stay back there for 10-12 days.

Aarti, you may go now.

When does she want to leave? - Within 2-3 days.

I had withdrawn money from the bank.

It's in the cupboard. Give her as much as she wants.

But...

I had seen the interview letter on the table.

I really have not been able to understand you.

Bharti, you aren't the only one who is concerned about Aarti, even I am.

And there's a reason behind this also.

You will soon know why.

What's wrong? Do you have a headache now?

No. - Then apply the balm.

It's aching here!

Thank you.

Even you are leaving?! - Why? Who else has left?

Don't you know? Hear, hear!

Remember that small fox who used to work in my shop?

Fox?

The one whom all of you would call an innocent child!

I gave him Rs.10,000 to pay the bills.

But that rascal ran away with the money!

So, is this phone dead now?

It's not only the phone that's dead, even love has ceased to exist here!

Lovers can't talk to each other.

They are dying without meeting each other. And this breaks my heart!

But don't worry. I'll even sell off this shop and have the phone working...

...so that you can speak to him. What other problems do you have?

After I leave... if Deepak phones, then you...

Go on, don't be shy! If he phones, Then I should tell him that...

...you have gone to Delhi for a few days. Right?

Sorry Deepak.

I cannot accept your resignation.

Sir, please don't misunderstand me.

The workers are not happy with me.

So, for the welfare of the company, I think I should quit this job.

If you really want to quit this job, then I have a suggestion.

What?

I have a sister concern in Delhi. Go there.

If you want, then you may go there today.

A penny for your thoughts.

It's nothing, sir. I'll leave for Delhi today.

Wish you good luck. - Thank you, sir.

What are you saying, Deepak? Will you leave today?

Yes, Niranjanbhai. - Have you quit?

Hey, I'm asking whether you've quit your job!

No. The MD did not accept my resignation.

He has a sister concern in Delhi. He's transferred me there.

Do you have to leave today? - Yes.

All right. Do your packing.

After that, I want to phone Aarti and tell her that I'm going to Delhi.

I'll also come.

This telephone is out of service.

This telephone is out of service.

This telephone is out of service.

This telephone is out of service.

I want to tell you something, Deepak.

But please don't misunderstand me.

What are you saying, Niranjanbhai! Tell me.

I admit that you are a sensible and wise person.

But you are a bit naive too.

You often let your heart rule your head.

I was with you here, but I won't be there with you in Delhi.

All I want to advise you is that...

...it isn't wise to fall in love with someone you haven't seen or met.

It's the question of your life!

One uses his heart in love, not his head.

But... - Don't worry.

You will soon receive my wedding card.

Let's hurry up, it's raining!

[Indistinct chatter]

[Train announcement]

I'm sorry.

Boys like you walk in a crowd solely to bump into girls!

If we leave without informing mother, she will be livid.

What to do? The postal department is on strike.

How do we send a telegram then?

Sir, is the Auto Rickshaw free? - No!

Sir, is the Auto Rickshaw free?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Incredible! You are the first person to address me as sir!

Else, nobody here addresses us with respect.

It's supposed to be a city. But one should learn about etiquette from you!

[Laughs] - Please sit, sir.

I'm Deepak.

Pritam.

I am, indeed, pleased to meet you.

Or who bothers to introduce oneself to people like us?

Before I left for Kerala, I was in Agra for some days.

I too used to ride an Auto Rickshaw there.

Hey, you are one of us! Where do you want to go?

I don't know where to go. - Meaning?

I mean, I want to freshen up, and then go to office.

If you could get me a small room somewhere for half an hour...

If you want to freshen up, then come to my house. Provided you don't mind.

What objection can I have if you don't?

Then let's go. - Yes.

Shall we leave? - Yes.

Hey! Can't you see? - I can.

Then can't you ride properly?

Well, my heart is beyond my control these days.

Better gain control over it or you'll regret later.

Take a reverse.

Where are you going?

My boyfriend has phoned.

Why has the postal department gone on a strike suddenly?

Would they ask you first?! - It's no joke!

You don't know how badly my parents must be waiting for my Money Order.

Jency dear!

Don't worry, the strike will get over soon. - Yes, aunt?

Shall I clean the room? - No. We have to go out now.

Clean later.

Don't you have to go to work? - No.

I'm leaving. I've taken my room key, okay?

Bye. - Bye.

What did you ask? - Don't you have to go to work?

No. My friend is here. She has to go for an interview.

Which friend?

You know her. Look!

Aarti, you?!

When did you come? How are you? - Fine. I came some time back.

Jency, I'll clean the room later. Okay?

Aarti, let's go.

Do a course in computers.

I do wish to do that, but I don't know how...

It is my friend's studio.

Come off it, Deepak! You call me a friend, and yet pay me money!

They say, 'What will a horse eat if it befriends the grass?!'

These are adages coined by great intellectuals.

However, if we befriend the grass, we'll die of hunger but not eat it!

See you. - When do we meet again?

Deepak, I never even dreamt that I'd find a friend like you.

However, I will not be able to especially make time for you.

I have to toil hard all day to earn my daily bread and butter.

If you think of me, then come home. Or we'll bump into each other.

All right... I'll collect the baggage later.

Come anytime.

Is it okay? - Yes.

Shameless!

Whom are you abusing? - Nobody.

Let's go? - Yes.

Where's Mehra Industries' office? - On the seventh floor.

And where is the lift? - Over there.

Thank you.

[Murmuring]

Which floor do we have to go? - 3rd floor.

Let's go.

Hello? Blue cross?

While coming from home today...

...I saw a stray dog and her puppies at Vasant Vihar, C Block.

Would you please take care?

I'm Neha. Thank you, bye.

[Knock on door]

Yes, come in.

Good morning, madam.

Good morning. Welcome, Mr. Deepak.

[Laughs]

Anything wrong, madam? - No, nothing.

You have brought light with you!

Thank you. - Welcome. Please, have a seat.

One moment, excuse me.

So..

Oh, I'm really sorry.

Please, have some. - No, thank you, madam. - Please.

[Laughs]

I'm sorry. - It's okay.

I'm so sorry.

Please don't feel offended.

I am the MD here, and you are an employee.

But I am very fond of working in a friendly atmosphere.

However, I have a complaint to make.

You have deceived me. - Me?

When my brother told me that he was sending some boy here...

...I expected somebody with a suit and tie - somebody stylish.

But you turned out to be so simple. - Even you have deceived me.

How?

He had told me that this was a sister concern.

But he didn't say that this was his sister's concern!

[Laughs]

Good.

You speak very well!

My name is Deepak... Look, I'm only thinking about your name!

My name is Neha, which means love... everybody's love.

I am a very liberated woman, a free bird.

Is it good? - What?

A new place, a new job as well as new people. Is it good?

Madam, everything in life is new for the first time.

Friends, job, school...

...the girl your parents choose... everything is new, the first time.

One gets gradually habituated to it.

My policy is to make adjustments and live life.

Until now, it was only you I had liked, but...

[Phone rings]

Ranjit here. - Yes, madam?

[Neha] Can you please come in for a second?

Yes.

What were we talking about? Oh yes!

Until now, it was only you that I had liked...

...but now, I even like your policy! - [Knock on door]

Just one moment. Come in.

Mr. Ranjit, please meet Mr. Deepak. - Hello.

Ranjit. - Deepak.

Ranjit, give him his appointment letter... He will stay with you.

Yes, ma'am.

Thank you, madam.

I don't want your thanks. I want you to be sincere and dedicated.

One more thing.

This is the company mobile phone. Always keep it with you.

So that I can contact you whenever I want.

Okay, madam.

Let's go.

Mr. Deepak.

Yes, madam?

One quality in you really appealed to me.

What, madam? - Your simplicity.

Thank you.

[Gasps]

[Laughs]

Hi Simran. - Hi.

Please sit. How are you?

Fine. How are you?

Good company, good health. That's all.

Okay.

But I haven't seen you since 2-3 months. Where are you?

I got bored of my job here, so l thought I'd live with my boyfriend.

Two months later, I realised that my job was better, so I came back!

[Laughs]

Cute.

Excuse me.

Fresh candidate.

Won't you introduce us?

Simran, he is Mr. Deepak... And, Deepak, she is...

Hey.

Is he your friend?

Yes, he is.

He's not good! Either change him or change yourself!

Hey, Simran, where are you going? - Bye.

Why did you insult me before that girl in the canteen today?

It will be better if we maintain some formalities between us.

So, you don't accept my friendship? - I wouldn't have spoken to you then.

Oh, thank you.

But I cannot change myself for you, Mr. Deepak!

Deepak will do. - What!

Deepak will do! - It will be very difficult.

To befriend me? - No.

It's very simple, Ranjit. - To change you?

[Laughs]

No. To maintain our friendship.

[Laughs]

[Indistinct chatter]

Dear God, please give me a good job soon.

I don't wish to live off anybody.

All I want is to be with Deepak.

When will I meet him, O' Lord?

[Bell rings]

O' Lord, You know how incomplete I am without Aarti.

Please let me meet her soon so that we can get married.

I want to bestow all of life's happiness on her.

I'm sorry.

After you. - No! After you.

[Chanting mantras]

[Prayer bell ringing]

Please give me some offerings.

May I take a flower from you? - Yes, you may.

You? - Who are you to give me flowers?!

You called out to the priest, but he didn't hear you. So I...

Anyway, these are offerings. If you take it from me, it won't harm you.

Look, mister, I know very well what kind of a person you are!

Are you intentionally following me?!

Madam, you misunderstand! - I understand right!

And get this into your head. If you pursue me again, I won't spare you!

Let's go.

Aarti, do you have any problems with that boy?

Who is he to give me flowers?!

But they are the Lord's offerings, irrespective of whom you take it from.

But to take it from a man?!

Even the priest is a man. - But...

The problem does not lie with that man but with you.

Meaning?!

Let's go. - Hail Lord Ram.

Good morning.

I said, good morning.

Let me go.

The more you insult me, the more my interest in you will grow!

Let me go!

You fear that you may have to spend on me if you befriend me, right?

Normally, girls laugh, and boys spend.

But I am not like that.

I'll spend, and you make me laugh... but very lovingly.

Are you married? - No.

What have you saved for your husband?

My house, a car, a bank balance, etc. etc.

But not your virginity!

I have a house, a car, a bank balance. Do you know how?

My love and affection constitute the material comforts.

And my virginity constitutes my bank balance!

I have kept it for my future wife.

So don't harass me, and let me go.

And if I still harass you, then?

Then, to hell with the job! I'll thrash you right here! Understand?

Good morning, madam.

Good morning. How are you? - Fine.

But I'm not too fine.

Can I be of any help? - Only you can help.

I badly need a house, a car and a bank balance for myself.

Are you mocking me?

No way. I badly need all of them.

But I don't have any of the three.

Only you do. Do you know how?

My love and affection constitute the material comforts.

And my virginity constitutes my bank balance!

Understand?

Am I right?

Madam, it isn't good to eavesdrop.

But it's good for me.

I want to experience your love.

Your affection.

I want to make you mine.

But I am not worthy of you.

Do you know, I've been thinking of only you since the day I met you?

I questioned myself a lot, and I found the answers to them yesterday.

Mine is not a case of love at first sight.

I have loved you, the Deepak hidden in you.

But... - I know.

You want to tell me something, and even I have a lot to say to you.

But this isn't the place. I'll wait for you at home at 8 tonight.

For dinner. Do come.

Bye.

Ranjit, now tell me a solution to this problem.

Deepak, in life, opportunity often knocks at the door.

But in your life, it's knocking on the heart.

Meaning?

Some people believe that it isn't important whom we love.

But it's more important who loves us!

But, Deepak, my friend, I think differently.

Meaning?

Deepak, it is very important for me, who I love.

Whom do you love?

[Chuckles]

Madhuri Dixit, Samantha Fox, Pamela Anderson..

..Monica Lewinsky, etc.

Just think! Even if one of them...

I mean... by chance, even if one of them loves us...

...then, let alone in India, we'll become famous all over the world!

But how does this concern my problem? - It does!

Madam Neha is no less than all these renowned, beautiful damsels.

Just think! If you accept Madam Neha's love...

...then each and every newspaper will publish your picture with her!

On the front page, side by side! And you'll become famous like me!

For me, a little glimpse of the feet seen under a sari...

...is much more attractive than the bare legs seen below a skirt!

It's 7:30.

Ranjit, please.

It's 7:30! Don't miss your meeting with Ms. Neha at 8. Please go.

Mr. Mustafa. - Yes, sir.

Make the delivery receipts of all the scooters.

Ok... - Okay, sir.

Thank you.

[Clears throat]

O hello...

I've come to thank you.

I liked it that you didn't come to my house last evening.

Well, actually... - I know.

You couldn't sleep all night. You kept thinking about me.

No, madam. - You are waiting for me since morning.

You knew that since you didn't come to my house last night...

I will surely come to meet you in the morning.

No, madam. - No, no, no.

Actually, I like it.

It is said that love begins with a refusal.

Then it ends up with a consent. Do you know?

No, madam. I don't know.

Deepak, every time you refuse me...

your every refusal brings me more closer to you.

First close to you, then to your heart.

Shall I ask you something?

Yes, madam.

No, no, no.

Hurry up.

Give me way.

Wait, friend. - This bus won't go there.

Two tickets please.

A ticket to Shriniwaspuri.

Hey, look there. Your admirer.

You keep talking rubbish all the time.

He seems to be moody. Even you are moody.

If you fall in love, you'll make a perfect pair.

If you like him so much, you fall in love with him.

Good idea.

I'll fall in love. But what about my fiancé?

Hey Deepak, look there.

A perfect girl. A typical Indian woman.

I saw. I don't like her.

What? You don't like her at all? - No.

Seeing her, I felt I should marry her.

You can do it with pleasure.

But what will happen to Monica Lewinski and Pamela Anderson.

Friend, they are just a fun.

But I will marry a girl like her. - Really? - Yes.

What are you thinking?

That I am also like a typical Indian male.

I want a beautiful Indian girl who dresses decently for a wife.

And modern, sexy, stylish, anything will do for other things.

Then go and tell her that you love her and get married.

Shall I go? - Yes.

Shall I tell her? - Sure. Okay.

What happened, Mr. Ranjit? Your miss is missing.

If she becomes my misses, she will never miss. - Is it?

Yes. Now occupy that seat quickly or we'll miss it.

[Laughs] - Come on.

[Bell tolling]

Aarti, I spoke to Father about your job. - Is it?

We'll meet him and go...

Let's wait.

Hello Father.

Father, she is Aarti.

Hello, father. - God bless you my child.

So she needed the job? - Yes.

There's a job in Singapore.

Rs.20000 per month.

It's a two years contract.

You just have to teach Hindi.

They needed two teachers. I've finalized one.

Would you like to go?

Thank you, Father.

She is fed up with her family.

You showed her the right path.

I can't go... - Why?

Why can't you go? - I said I can't.

Ok. God bless you.

Sorry, Jency. Jency, wait.

Why are you constantly looking at your watch?

Madam's called me home this evening to discuss some official matter.

I thought I'll go home and freshen up, but there's no sign of a bus!

And I am already late! - No problem. We'll take a scooter.

Company account.

[Whistles]

What's wrong?

My future Mrs. who was missing the other day...

is coming now. I won't let her go missing again!

All the best. - Thank you.

I want to go to Saket.

Listen up.

My girlfriend didn't write me a letter.

I'll give you the money.

Don't bore me. They are talking about the strike.

There's a meeting going on. It will be called off in the evening.

Hello.

Who are you? - You don't know me but I know you.

Are you from Nainital?

No, from Dehradun. I work in Delhi.

My father is a retired army officer and my mother is a school teacher.

I want to ask you something important. - What?

I had seen you in the bus the other day... No.505.

But before I could ask you something, you had got off the bus.

What do you want to ask me?

If you say yes, then I want to come home with my parents.

To ask for your hand in marriage.

Do you want to create a scene at the bus-stop?!

Certainly not! You are absolutely correct.

I know, whenever a girl screams for help, men come to her rescue at once.

But no problem.

You said you live in Nainital. I'll come there with my parents.

One moment... Why are you harassing me so much?

I'm not harassing you.

I'm talking about my marriage.

I already love somebody else.

And if my family learns of it, complications will only increase.

No problem.

It happens nowadays. Love someone, marry another! I have no problem.

I'm not the kind of girl to love one man and marry another!

We love one another without even having seen each other.

Please don't disturb me.

Amazing! You just mentioned that I am making things complicated for you...

...but you, yourself, are in a dilemma!

You know, you should be kept in a museum so that...

...people can buy a ticket to see you. You don't deserve to be married!

I think I am wasting my time!

Scooter!

Goodbye!

[Knocking]

Deepak? Please, come in.

Thank you, madam.

Sorry, madam, I got a bit late. - No problem.

Please, have a seat. - Thank you, madam.

I did come on time but...

Please, be comfortable. Be seated.

But there are so many houses here.

I couldn't make out which one was yours.

Didn't you ask the watchman?

I did, but he told me that all these houses belong to Ms. Neha.

Is it actually true?

Yes, all this belongs to me.

My father had built this house with great desire for his 6 children.

So that we could live together.

But fate proposed otherwise.

In a plane crash, everyone...

In such a big family, remained only me and my brother.

Brother could not live in the midst of past memories.

So he settled down in Cochin.

And Madam Neha stayed back here all alone!

I'm sorry, but how do you manage to live alone in such a big house?

It's very simple.

When I feel like talking to somebody...

...I stand before the mirror and speak to myself.

When I feel like laughing, I joke with myself.

And if I begin to cry, then I wipe my own tears.

So very simple, you know.

You ought to forget the past and think about your future.

That's what I'm thinking of.

My future.

Do you know I've been thinking only about you since the last few days?

I talk, play, laugh and cry with you.

I live every moment only with you.

Deepak, I want all these dreams to be realised in my future.

I want to live with you. I want to belong to you.

This is not possible, Ms. Neha. I cannot do this.

Why? What do I lack?

That's not the case, but I cannot love you.

Are you scared of me?

My affluence?

Deepak, I can give up all this for you.

I don't want this house, my business... absolutely nothing!

I can live with you in your house.

You go to office, while I'll wait for you at home.

I'll cook and feed you with my own hands.

I'll do anything you say to win over your love.

Actually, I love somebody else.

No! I can't believe that!

It is the truth.

Who is she? Where does she stay?

Give me her address.

I'll go and grovel before her. I'll beg for my love, Deepak!

You may go to her and beg for your love.

But she loves me so much that...

...if she hears, there's somebody else in my life, she may kill herself.

And the truth is, even I love her with equal intensity.

Even I can kill myself for you.

Ms. Neha, only a fortunate person would deserve your love.

But what to do? I am helpless.

I have unknowingly hurt you, so please forgive me.

If I stay back for some more time, then you will be more hurt.

So I ought to leave. - Listen, Deepak.

I'll never ever say anything to you again, except this once.

In life, I have never asked anybody for anything.

Not even from God!

But today, I ask you for something.

lf, at any juncture of life, you deem me worthy of your love...

...then do think about me.

I will always wait for your love here.

Even in my next life.

Good night, madam.

Good night.

[Crying]

What are you reading so intently?

There was a postal strike since 10 days. It has finally ended today.

I used to think that I know you too well. But now I think I don't.

Why do you say that, Jency?

Father offered you such a good job, but you refused him.

You get upset also very easily.

And that boy - how has he harmed you?

Whenever you see him, you fight with him. Why are you so moody?

It's self-defence.

Meaning?

Since the time I've seen that boy, I don't know why...

...but a strange force draws me towards him.

I fear I may fall in love with him.

That's why I fight with him.

If you love that boy, then tell him about it!

Why do you torment yourself?

I love somebody else. - Whom?

Deepak.

I see! The boy who had parceled your bag and certificates?

Yes. Generally, people see each other, and then fall in love.

But ours is a different love story.

I see! Now I know why you turned down the job that Father offered.

But, Aarti, I can understand loving someone you don't know.

But falling in love with someone you haven't even seen!

Jency, have you ever seen God? - No.

Yet, you believe in Him and worship Him.

My love is something similar.

I have never seen my love, but I worship him.

I'll pray that you find your love soon.

[Whistle blows]

The signal is on. Give my regards to your sister and her husband.

And don't worry, everything will be fine.

Bye. - Bye.

Thank you. - Bye.

Hey, Deepak! How did the meeting with madam turn out?!

[Laughs]

I have something important to say. - Same here, Deepak.

The girl at the bus stop turned out to be such a big bore!

I got so fed up! I came home, freshened up and went to see a movie!

But her love story is very queer.

Do you know how it began?

I am not concerned with other people's love stories!

Fine! I'm not forcing you!

Give this company cellular phone and letter to madam.

What's this? - My resignation.

What! Are you crazy?!

No. I'm resigning because I am not crazy.

Don't ask me anything more.

Should I really give it to madam?

Are you sure?

Goodbye.

Hey, Pritam! - Please sit.

What's wrong? Where are you going?

I myself don't know where I'm going.

You had said the same when we met for the first time too.

I had come to join work that day.

Delhi was a new place for me.

I didn't know then where I was going.

Delhi is no more an alien place now, but I have quit my job.

So, once again, I don't know where I'm going.

There's one more place.

Not just my home but my heart too.

Smoke a 'beedi'?

I think you're a bit worked up.

Pour your heart out. You will feel better.

I think you didn't quite like what I said.

What is it?

What is it?

[Music]

Pritam..

Is my love for her, some kind of madness?

It certainly is!

My friend is hungry, and I'm not even asking him for food!

Hey, friend.

Don't worry. You will surely find your love.

How?

The Lord above is with us.

[Music]

"You will find your love, your beloved..."

"it's all in God's hands"

"It's all in God's hands"

"What's there to fear...?"

"God's on your side always"

"What's there to fear...?"

"God's on your side always"

"God's with us"

"You will find your love, your beloved..."

"What's there to fear...?"

"God's on our side"

"God's on our side"

Good morning, ma'am. - Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning.

Good morning to you too.

Excuse me, ma'am.

Good morning, Ranjit, how are you? - Very well.

What's this? - Deepak's resignation.

But why?!

Even I don't know what was it about the office that he didn't approve.

He merely handed over his resignation letter.

Excuse me.

What's the matter? There are many letters today.

That's because the postal strike has ended.

Aarti, Nainital.

Aarti. - Yes?

I think you've begun to conceal many things from me nowadays.

No, sister.

When you went to Delhi, there was a letter for you from Deepak.

I read it and kept it in your room.

Didn't you see it?

Sorry, sister.

A kind of fear grips me whenever I think about your future.

I still have not been able to understand my husband.

And even you have found no direction in life yet.

I do not know what's in each one's heart.

But, may the one who resides in your heart give you a good life.

This is all I pray to God.

Aarti, ask Deepak to come to Nainital immediately.

What's the matter?

Why don't you say something?

I received another letter from Deepak today. He has quit his job.

He's written that he'll send his new address when he gets another job.

Until now, I used to feel that you had started life afresh.

But now I wonder if you will ever achieve your goal in life.

I want to talk about something important to you.

Has there been another interview call for your sister?

No... There is a boy named Deepak.

Oh, I see! So, this is about a love affair?!

It's not what you are thinking about.

You mean, this love is devoid of any abortion and tears?!

You are too much! Why do you misunderstand everything?

They love one another, without even having seen each other.

Bharti, I've seen one too many such cases, and its outcome as well!

I cannot make an exception for your sister's love, understand?!

Go to sleep, and let me work.

Have some tea. - Thank you, Chhotu.

Did you go for an interview today?

What happened?

What happens every time. They will write a letter to inform me!

But there's one job which I can get, if you wish so.

If I wish?

I know to ride an auto rickshaw, and I have a driving licence too.

Why don't you get me somebody's auto on a rental basis?

Good idea. You can ride an auto rickshaw till you get a job.

I'll arrange for it tomorrow morning.

Thanks.

Hello, Mr. Prem.

Address me as Prem, not Mr. Prem. - Okay. Please come.

Please sit. - Thank you.

Bharti, come here and bring Aarti too.

This is my humble home.

It makes no difference whether a house is huge or small.

The people residing in it should have magnanimous hearts.

Thank you. By the way, how is business?

Good.

She is my wife Bharti. - Hello. - Hello.

And you already know Aarti.

Hello?

Hello.

Please sit.

You haven't told us about him.

Oh sorry.

He is Mr. Prem, one of the city's elite.

He has spread his business so extensively at such a young age...

...that others would turn grey by the time they do the same!

What are you saying! - Facts are facts!

Bharti, I had met him in Delhi some months back.

Mrs. Bharti, perhaps your sister does not remember...

...but I had met her at a florist around a year back.

She had come to buy flowers. I had liked her very much.

And in the process of talking to him, I learnt that she's your sister.

He had expressed a desire to marry Aarti.

I was very worked up initially as he and we are poles apart.

It isn't wise to fix an alliance with such a big difference.

We would meet regularly, and he would always talk about Aarti.

The time has come now.

I don't think we can find a better proposal than him for Aarti.

Aarti, please bring some tea and snacks for him.

No, please! Some other time.

I'll come some other time as I have an important meeting today.

I'll reach you till outside. - No. Please sit.

I like you.

But I don't know if you reciprocate my feelings or not.

If you want to talk to me alone, then I'll give you my card.

Phone me without any hesitation. Okay?

Goodbye. Goodbye.

Goodbye. - Goodbye.

I could never understand you. - I know.

A woman whose young sister lives with her...

...will never be able to understand her husband.

I have always been bitter with Aarti.

But I never liked being that way.

If I had been affectionate towards her, you may have misunderstood me.

Aarti, I am not against your love.

I'm compelled to do this because of my duty and responsibility.

How can I give you my consent to wed a boy whom even you haven't seen?

Just bear one thing in mind.

I have always considered you as my younger sister, my daughter.

Fool, you are the pride of my home.

Whatever decision I take, will be solely for your good.

[Sobbing]

[Sighs]

So, you have come to tell me that you love somebody else?

His name?

You have come from so far, so you may as well tell me his name.

Deepak. - Let's take a stroll and talk.

Look, I'm not jealous.

But I do want to know about the boy who loves a girl like you.

I have never seen him. - What! You haven't even seen him?

I have begun to like you even more now.

And I have even begun to feel jealous of your love.

I also don't want you to ever meet him.

So that you can get married to me.

I cannot live without Deepak.

I want you to live and be happy.

So, what can I do for you?

I'll be greatly indebted to you...

...if you could ask my brother-in-law to let me go to Delhi.

All right. But why to Delhi?

To search for Deepak.

[Laughs]

You don't know where he lives?

In Delhi. - But you don't know where in Delhi.

If you do not find Deepak...

...will you marry me then?

Good.

Look, Aarti, you are a simple Indian lady.

Which one doesn't find nowadays.

I know that if you get married to me, I will remain very happy.

But your happiness lies elsewhere.

I will pray to God... for both of us.

I'll pray that you find Deepak.

And I'll pray for myself... that you don't find him.

May I leave?

Yes.

Why does this happen only to me?

[Music]

"I breathe..."

"while I wait only for you"

"I swallow my tears..."

"and this is what my love has to say to you"

"To continue to live, I swear it on you..."

"To continue to live, I swear it on you..."

"I need to meet you once, my love"

"I need to meet you once, my love"

"To continue to live, I swear it on you..."

"To continue to live, I swear it on you..."

"I need to meet you once, my love"

"I need to meet you once, my love"

"I need to meet you once, my love"

"I need to meet you once, my love"

[Radio news] 'This is All India Radio, Delhi.'

'As per the weather report...'

'...Delhi, Ghaziabad, Meerut and all other areas in the vicinity...'

'...will have torrential rains for the next 48 hours.'

'It will be accompanied by strong winds.'

'There's a possibility of a storm too. Please take utmost precautions.'

'That is the end of the news. Thank you.'

'This is All India Radio, Delhi.'

Just a little ahead... stop here.

How much? - Rs.70.

Take this.

Amma.

Hey, Aarti! When did you come?!

Right now. Where is Jency?

It's the warden's girl's wedding. All the girls have gone there.

Oh! When will they return? - They said they would return today.

But one can't be sure because of the rains.

Will you please give me her room keys? I want to change.

But all the girls have locked their rooms and taken the keys.

Oh yes! Go to the common bathroom and change.

Okay.

[Yawning]

Amma.

I'll leave. - Hey! You've just come!

Yes, I have some urgent work. - But...

Where will you go in these rains? - I have to go.

Wait awhile. The rains will stop. - No, I'll leave.

I don't even have an umbrella. - Don't worry.

Be careful, dear.

Please stop.

Bye, aunt.

Stop!

Take me to Lajpat Nagar.

[Engine cranking]

What's the matter?

What's wrong?! - I'll have to check.

I think there's water gone inside the engine.

Then do something. - Yes, I will.

Get down and check. - I am checking!

Firstly, it's broken down. Over that, you are in a hurry!

[Engine stalling]

Will you hurry up? I've got to reach somewhere.

I don't think it will start.

Please wait here, I'll get another scooter.

In these rains, where will... hey, look, there's one! Stop it.

I will.

Please stop.

My scooter has broken down. Will you go to Lajpat Nagar?

Yes, I will.

He is willing to go. - I don't want that scooter!

Where will I fetch another one from? Please go in this.

Where, in Lajpat Nagar, do you want to go?

Near the market, building number 18.

[Music]

[Brakes squeal]

Please wait for 5 minutes. I'll be back soon.

Madam, whom do you want to meet here? - Why are you concerned about that?!

I know quite a few people here. So I was asking...

Scooter drivers always know somebody or the other everywhere!

Madam, some Aarti wants to meet you.

Okay, madam.

You may go.

Thank you. - Welcome.

[Knocking]

Please, come in.

Please come in, Aarti.

Please sit.

Please.

Hey, you are so drenched! One moment.

Wipe yourself. - No, I'm fine.

Please take it.

Oh! Your chair!

[Chuckles]

You don't know me, but I know you very well, Aarti.

Deepak never told me anything about you.

After he quit his job here, there was a letter from you.

I read it.

Please, forgive me.

Do you know where Deepak is now?

If I knew...

...that he loved a girl named Aarti...

...I would have surely apologised for coming in his way.

Does Deepak...

No, Aarti! Deepak has never loved me.

Only I have loved him.

And he quit his job only because of me.

I'm in deep trouble. It's very important that I meet him.

I have come from so far only to meet Deepak.

How do I trace him?!

There's a man named Ranjit who works here.

He is on leave today, but I can give you his address.

You can go and meet him.

And if you want, you may stay here with me.

I'll search for him everywhere, and hand him over to you.

There is no need for that. - Give me Ranjit's address.

I'll go and meet him.

Okay.

This has never happened to me before.

But today, I don't know why I'm jealous of you.

Despite staying so close to Deepak, I could not win over his love.

Then, how did you win him over with a few words written in your letters?

How's this possible? - I don't know. I'll leave.

You're in a big rush, aren't you? I can understand that.

But I want to ask you just one question.

Will you give me an honest answer? - Ask me.

What do I lack as a woman, that I was unable to win Deepak's love?

There's a saying that marriages are made in heaven.

Perhaps the Lord has not destined you for Deepak.

I'll leave.

I'll pray that Deepak and you remain together eternally.

Aarti.

When you meet Deepak, will you convey my message to him?

Tell him that Neha still loves him very much.

Will you do me a favour?

Yes?

Forget Deepak. He belongs only to me!

"My eyes are lamps that burn in your memory"

"Oh, how I pine to meet my lover"

"My eyes are lamps that burn in your memory"

"Oh, how I pine to meet my lover"

[Horn blares]

Hey! The road ahead is blocked.

I want to take a right nearby. - But it is blocked!

The road ahead is blocked. The 'C' block is near. I'll take you there.

No, wait here. I'll search for it.

[Coughs]

Nandu, you are drenched.

You will fall sick just like me. Go and wipe your head.

There's a lady here to meet you. - A lady? Send her inside.

[Coughs]

You!

What brings you here? - Who is Mr. Ranjit?

I am.

Where are you lost? - It's nothing.

I want to inquire about Deepak.

Oh! Sit down.

Please sit.

[Sneezing]

I am sorry, I'm not feeling too well. I got drenched in the rains.

Hey, even you are drenched! Nandu, bring a towel.

Is Deepak related to you?

Is Deepak related to you? - Yes.

I see. But Deepak had mentioned that he is an orphan.

Oh yes! Just a minute!

Is Deepak the man whom you love without even having seen or met him?!

Yes.

Oh my goodness.

Do you remember, I had once seen you in the bus?

Deepak was standing right next to me.

This is indeed incredulous!

And I had met you at the bus stop another time?

Do you know, Deepak had just passed by then in a scooter?

I don't remember all that. Where can I find him now?

If I cannot get Deepak, then nobody can get Aarti either.

Stop talking like a fool.

I know every nook and corner of Delhi.

If I were not to have such high fever...

...I'd have come with you right away to search for Deepak.

I'll issue an advertisement for Deepak in the newspapers tomorrow.

I am confident that we will find Deepak.

Please don't lose heart.

And until then, please do not make hasty decisions.

You've waited for so long, so you may as well wait for some more days.

[Aarti sobbing]

Madam, why are you crying? - Just keep driving!

You've been looking out for someone since morning in these heavy rains.

I think you're in some trouble.

If you tell me about it, I may be able to help you.

This is why I didn't want to take your scooter!

How much is the fare?

Please sit inside. Your clothes are completely soiled.

And if you don't mind, my relative stays nearby.

You could change there.

And then, we'll find the one who you are searching for.

Please sit, madam.

Come.

Please come, madam... Just be careful.

Please come.

This isn't my relative's house.

But the house of my friend with whom I stay.

Please don't be angry.

Had I told you before, you wouldn't have come here.

And you are in such a bad state, that I had to lie.

Please come.

Come from this side.

Watch the utensil.

Sit. I'll go and change my shirt.

Take this, madam. - No, thank you. I have a towel.

All right. Go and have a bath.

Where is the bathroom?

Watch your step.

The door has got a bit jammed because of the rains.

Isn't there a handle from inside? - One minute.

I have bolted from outside.

[Music]

[Strums guitar]

[Knocking]

[Knock on door]

I'm trying to open it.

One minute.

I'm opening.

It's quite late. We ought to leave now.

Yes, let's go.

[Thunder crashing]

Please wait here. I'll check if my friend has returned or not.

Or I'll have to go to the railway station.

Okay.

Pardon? There is no electricity here.

There has been no power supply too since morning.

Even the girls haven't returned since morning.

How can I say when they'll return?! It's raining!

Okay? Shall I keep the receiver down now?

Give this to Jency when she comes.

Okay. But where will you go in these rains? Stay here tonight.

No. I have to go.

[Horn blares]

Talk about dogs' love!

Meaning?

Who else exhibits such passion in public?!

And what, according to you, is pure love?

That of my friend.

Really? What's so special about your friend's love?

He is in love without even having ever seen her!

What's your friend's name?

Deepak.

And the girl whom he loves? - Aarti.

Aarti is my best friend!

Deepak is my good friend.

The signal has turned green! Go and do it at home!

"The skies weep with me"

"The skies weep with me"

"Where could my love be lost?"

"Where could my love be lost?"

"I look for him everywhere"

"I look for him everywhere"

"I don't even die, nor am I among the living..."

"I find myself so helpless, what test is this?"

Rs.30.

Do bring Deepak here someday. - Sure!

Take this. - Sorry, I don't have change.

Wait here, I'll go and get some change.

Do you have a change for Rs.100?

No. Your friend had come. - Aarti?

Yes. She had come in the evening. She's going back tonight.

She appeared very worried. She has left a letter for you.

Oh my God.

There's only 45 minutes left for the train to leave.

Hold this suitcase. - Okay.

Let's go to the railway station. - Why? Any problem?

I'll tell you on the way.

[Train announcement]

Here's your scooter fare.

Your train will leave in 10 minutes.

Wait here, I'll get your ticket. - No, thanks. Don't bother.

It will be very crowded. Sit here, I'll go and buy the ticket.

Get me a ticket for Kathgodam.

Please sit. - Okay.

"To live now, I swear..."

"To live now, I swear..."

"I need to meet you once, my love"

"I need to meet you once, my love"

"I need to meet you once, my love"

Here's your ticket.

Let's meet the Ticket Collector and try for a berth.

There are no seats available. So how can I help you?

Sorry. Please, sorry. - I have a child with me.

Can I get a berth for Kathgodam?

They are in the waiting list, and they are not getting a seat.

You have an open ticket, and yet ask for a seat!

Sir, a girl is travelling alone. Please do something.

But what can I do?

Sorry. Let's try asking the porter.

Sorry. There's no seat.

I am going to my exam. Please.

Can I get a seat for Kathgodam? - There are no seats available.

It's a night journey, and the girl is all alone.

Is a seat available? - Yes.

Come on. I'll get you a seat. - Fine... Let's go, madam.

She is all alone, so I'm helping you. You will have to pay extra.

Show me the seat first. - Okay.

Have a look at it first and then give me money.

Here's your seat. - Which one?

This one.

Take this, madam.

Take this.

Goodbye. - Goodbye.

[Train horn blares]

Madam, I have been repeatedly asking you one question.

But please don't misunderstand me.

You've been searching for someone since morning.

But you are going back without even meeting him.

If you tell me his name and address, I'll find him and inform you.

Please tell me. - No, thanks.

Don't bother. I have spoken to his friend.

He'll advertise in the papers

and inform me as soon as he gets any news.

Thank you once again. You have helped me so much.

You may go now. - Okay.

What the hell have you done! You've spilt coffee on me!

Sorry, uncle! I got late.

Go peacefully, and don't worry about me.

I'll be going to America. Don't worry about me at all.

I'll somehow manage to go to America.

But I'll surely come to the village before leaving...

...to eat 'parathas' made by aunt.

Bye, uncle.

Deepak!

Deepak?

Deepak.

Aarti.

Aarti.

"Who is in my heartbeat?"

"Who is in my eyes?"
