Who's there?
23
00:02:55,218 --> 00:02:57,011
Look at that!
24
00:02:58,388 --> 00:02:59,806
Hey!
25
00:03:01,641 --> 00:03:04,435
That girl won't leave
any fruit on the trees!
26
00:05:33,417 --> 00:05:35,586
That orchard wasn't free.
27
00:05:36,546 --> 00:05:39,465
We paid good money for it.
28
00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:41,133
I've said all along,
29
00:05:41,259 --> 00:05:44,720
"If we want any fruit left,
we'll have to fence it in."
30
00:05:45,388 --> 00:05:49,517
So many thieves in this village!
- What happened?
31
00:05:49,642 --> 00:05:51,769
It's Harihar's little brat!
32
00:05:53,396 --> 00:05:56,440
She doesn't leave
a single piece of fruit!
33
00:05:56,732 --> 00:06:00,027
The moment I turn my back,
she steals it!
34
00:06:00,152 --> 00:06:03,114
- What did she take?
- I saw her take a guava.
35
00:06:03,239 --> 00:06:06,534
Who knows what else?
I can't watch every tree!
36
00:06:06,659 --> 00:06:10,162
- Why don't you talk to them?
- Talk to whom?
37
00:06:12,498 --> 00:06:14,750
Who would listen to me anyway?
38
00:06:15,084 --> 00:06:17,712
She's not my daughter.
39
00:06:17,837 --> 00:06:20,089
If her own mother doesn't care,
40
00:06:20,214 --> 00:06:22,633
what's it matter
what you or I say?
41
00:06:23,134 --> 00:06:25,428
Her mother will learn
42
00:06:25,553 --> 00:06:28,306
when the whole village
turns against her.
43
00:06:28,514 --> 00:06:30,558
It's just bad upbringing.
44
00:06:30,683 --> 00:06:32,935
Children learn
what they're taught.
45
00:06:33,769 --> 00:06:35,938
Shall I carry that for you?
46
00:06:36,772 --> 00:06:38,316
No, thank you.
47
00:06:40,651 --> 00:06:43,904
Why not let me help?
Can you manage?
48
00:06:44,030 --> 00:06:45,615
Yes.
49
00:07:38,584 --> 00:07:42,046
Oh, dear.
I forgot to save some for you.
50
00:07:42,672 --> 00:07:43,839
Wait.
51
00:07:59,355 --> 00:08:00,690
Durga.
52
00:08:07,363 --> 00:08:08,572
Come along.
53
00:08:08,698 --> 00:08:12,201
She's doing no harm.
Let her stay.
54
00:08:12,576 --> 00:08:15,746
Why should she watch you eat?
Come here!
55
00:08:16,122 --> 00:08:18,541
Go on. She's calling you.
56
00:08:18,666 --> 00:08:21,210
Run along to your mother.
57
00:08:21,335 --> 00:08:23,212
Right now!
58
00:08:26,841 --> 00:08:30,553
What did you take
from Mrs. Mukherjee's orchard?
59
00:08:30,886 --> 00:08:32,346
Tell me.
60
00:08:32,471 --> 00:08:34,473
What are you hiding?
61
00:08:35,057 --> 00:08:36,642
Show me!
62
00:08:46,402 --> 00:08:48,404
Take it back.
63
00:08:49,739 --> 00:08:52,867
And sweep the yard
when you come back.
64
00:09:40,623 --> 00:09:43,125
Auntie.
65
00:09:45,336 --> 00:09:48,172
You realize the harm
you're doing the girl?
66
00:09:48,672 --> 00:09:51,383
- What do you mean?
- Need I tell you?
67
00:09:51,717 --> 00:09:53,427
Who eats that fruit?
68
00:09:53,803 --> 00:09:55,137
What fruit?
69
00:09:55,304 --> 00:09:57,973
The fruit Durga brings you.
70
00:09:58,724 --> 00:10:02,478
- She's just a child...
- But you're not.
71
00:10:03,187 --> 00:10:07,024
Have you no sense?
Who do you think you are?
72
00:10:07,274 --> 00:10:10,820
Think you can do as you please
because we put you up?
73
00:10:12,655 --> 00:10:16,992
I know you too well.
- What a lot of nonsense!
74
00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:18,994
Must I spell it out?
75
00:10:19,119 --> 00:10:21,664
Haven't you been stealing
from my kitchen?
76
00:10:22,122 --> 00:10:24,083
Oil, salt, chilies?
77
00:10:24,625 --> 00:10:26,669
Shall I look in your box?
78
00:10:26,836 --> 00:10:28,379
Well?
79
00:10:28,504 --> 00:10:30,297
Why don't you answer?
80
00:10:31,048 --> 00:10:34,009
You can't stay here
and carry on like this.
81
00:10:34,176 --> 00:10:36,470
Maybe you should go
somewhere else.
82
00:10:39,557 --> 00:10:41,183
I'm fed up.
83
00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:43,352
It's been eight years,
84
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:46,188
and I won't take any more.
85
00:10:46,397 --> 00:10:50,734
You corrupt my daughter,
and I get the blame.
86
00:10:50,860 --> 00:10:53,404
I won't allow it.
87
00:11:30,065 --> 00:11:32,860
I don't need this bother
at my age.
88
00:11:36,405 --> 00:11:37,865
Out of the way!
89
00:11:38,407 --> 00:11:40,910
Auntie, where are you going?
90
00:12:03,432 --> 00:12:04,642
Auntie!
91
00:12:11,398 --> 00:12:13,817
Durga, come here.
92
00:12:18,447 --> 00:12:19,949
Let go!
93
00:12:23,077 --> 00:12:25,120
Durga, come here!
94
00:12:41,845 --> 00:12:43,806
Did you give it back?
95
00:12:46,225 --> 00:12:48,310
What else did I tell you to do?
96
00:14:42,466 --> 00:14:45,177
Where have you been,
Auntie Indir?
97
00:14:45,302 --> 00:14:47,262
At Raju's.
98
00:14:47,638 --> 00:14:52,392
This morning Shaila told me
about Hart's new son.
99
00:14:52,643 --> 00:14:56,939
I was on my way
when this child came to get me.
100
00:14:57,272 --> 00:14:59,316
We met on the road.
101
00:14:59,775 --> 00:15:03,445
Go in and see
your beautiful little nephew.
102
00:15:04,071 --> 00:15:06,949
Where's the little darling?
103
00:15:14,039 --> 00:15:16,959
Auntie, you're back at last.
104
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,263
Take the blanket off
105
00:15:29,388 --> 00:15:31,306
so I can have a good look.
106
00:15:37,020 --> 00:15:38,730
The little darling!
107
00:15:39,648 --> 00:15:42,067
What a little darling!
108
00:15:50,659 --> 00:15:53,412
Bulbuls have eaten the rice
109
00:15:53,579 --> 00:15:56,165
How shall I pay the tax?
110
00:15:56,623 --> 00:15:59,334
Baby shall ride in a boat
111
00:15:59,585 --> 00:16:02,421
And wear red shoes
112
00:16:02,921 --> 00:16:05,465
Who dares say his skin is dark?
113
00:16:06,550 --> 00:16:08,343
Ten...
114
00:16:09,136 --> 00:16:12,222
11, 12...
115
00:16:12,931 --> 00:16:14,725
13...
116
00:16:14,850 --> 00:16:17,477
Sleep, golden one
117
00:16:18,604 --> 00:16:21,690
I'll send for the goldsmith
118
00:16:21,815 --> 00:16:24,359
To make you a gold chain
119
00:16:29,031 --> 00:16:31,408
- What are you cooking?
- Can't you see?
120
00:16:33,410 --> 00:16:35,412
A sumptuous feast.
What else?
121
00:16:35,746 --> 00:16:39,958
You should one day.
Or have you forgotten how?
122
00:16:40,375 --> 00:16:42,336
I have.
123
00:16:42,461 --> 00:16:43,754
Too bad.
124
00:16:43,879 --> 00:16:48,091
I thought we might celebrate
our son's first mouthful of rice.
125
00:16:50,844 --> 00:16:52,554
With what money?
126
00:16:52,721 --> 00:16:56,183
I start work
for Mr. Ray next month.
127
00:16:56,308 --> 00:16:57,809
Really?
128
00:16:58,101 --> 00:17:02,189
I saw Nilmoni today.
He said Mr. Ray gave his word.
129
00:17:02,522 --> 00:17:05,734
- Did you ask about the pay?
- I'm not worried.
130
00:17:05,901 --> 00:17:08,904
Besides, I'm not going
to collect his rents forever.
131
00:17:09,071 --> 00:17:12,699
He can't make me
his bonded slave.
132
00:17:12,950 --> 00:17:16,578
That money and the fees
for my services as a priest
133
00:17:16,745 --> 00:17:19,873
will keep the family
going for now.
134
00:17:19,998 --> 00:17:23,210
Besides, there are always
good times and bad.
135
00:17:24,503 --> 00:17:26,380
Things are going well.
136
00:17:26,922 --> 00:17:31,176
The boy was born in January,
and you found work in the spring.
137
00:17:31,635 --> 00:17:35,013
That's why
we should spend a little
138
00:17:35,597 --> 00:17:37,849
to celebrate in style
139
00:17:37,975 --> 00:17:40,227
and save face
with the neighbors.
140
00:17:41,103 --> 00:17:45,691
Besides,
they'll all praise your cooking.
141
00:17:45,816 --> 00:17:48,068
That's something, isn't it?
142
00:17:51,113 --> 00:17:53,282
Will he pay regularly?
143
00:17:53,448 --> 00:17:56,285
Why wouldn't he?
Ray's a good man.
144
00:17:57,327 --> 00:18:01,540
Who's to say
who's good and who's not?
145
00:18:01,832 --> 00:18:03,959
People are always cheating you.
146
00:18:04,126 --> 00:18:05,877
Like when?
147
00:18:06,003 --> 00:18:08,839
Didn't they steal the orchard
from right under our noses?
148
00:18:09,214 --> 00:18:13,844
They said my brother owed them
money when he was alive.
149
00:18:13,969 --> 00:18:16,346
The orchard satisfied that debit.
150
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,975
We'd have no worries
if we still had that orchard.
151
00:18:20,934 --> 00:18:23,312
Mangoes, rose apples, coconuts.
152
00:18:23,478 --> 00:18:26,023
They pick sackfuls of our fruit,
153
00:18:26,648 --> 00:18:29,651
but if Durga takes
a single guava...
154
00:18:30,027 --> 00:18:32,112
Why worry about them?
155
00:18:32,279 --> 00:18:34,531
They're moneylenders,
and I'm a scholar.
156
00:18:34,656 --> 00:18:37,951
Who cares about that
in this godforsaken village?
157
00:18:38,076 --> 00:18:41,288
Listen to what I'm writing now:
158
00:18:41,413 --> 00:18:44,207
new and original plays
and poems.
159
00:18:44,374 --> 00:18:46,793
When word gets around,
160
00:18:46,918 --> 00:18:50,255
the traveling troupes
will come in droves.
161
00:18:50,380 --> 00:18:53,216
Where else can they get
new material?
162
00:18:53,342 --> 00:18:55,802
Original plays don't grow on trees.
163
00:18:55,927 --> 00:18:59,264
Other writers just rehash
164
00:18:59,389 --> 00:19:01,308
the same old stuff.
165
00:19:01,433 --> 00:19:03,143
If that's acceptable,
166
00:19:03,310 --> 00:19:06,897
won't the original works
of Harihar Ray be as well?
167
00:19:07,022 --> 00:19:08,815
Of course.
168
00:19:09,524 --> 00:19:13,028
And as a scholar,
you'll be respected in the village.
169
00:19:13,153 --> 00:19:15,155
What could be better?
170
00:19:18,241 --> 00:19:20,494
You'll educate the boy...
171
00:19:22,329 --> 00:19:25,457
give him his sacred thread,
teach him to worship the gods.
172
00:19:27,084 --> 00:19:29,711
Durga will find a good husband.
173
00:19:31,046 --> 00:19:34,758
Two good meals a day,
new clothes twice a year...
174
00:19:34,883 --> 00:19:37,010
what more could we want?
175
00:19:37,427 --> 00:19:39,721
We'll have all that and more.
176
00:19:39,888 --> 00:19:43,350
My ancestors were writers,
after all.
177
00:19:43,475 --> 00:19:46,353
They left a legacy
that can't be ignored.
178
00:19:46,561 --> 00:19:48,522
Just wait two years.
179
00:19:48,647 --> 00:19:50,649
My debts will be paid off
180
00:19:50,774 --> 00:19:53,026
and the house repaired,
181
00:19:53,151 --> 00:19:56,530
and you won't have to fix
spinach and rice every day!
182
00:19:56,738 --> 00:19:58,490
How about that?
183
00:20:35,819 --> 00:20:39,072
Apu! Aren't you up yet?
184
00:20:39,364 --> 00:20:42,784
Apu, aren't you going
to school?
185
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,786
Wake up.
186
00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:49,916
Durga.
187
00:20:51,626 --> 00:20:54,463
Durga, get Apu up.
188
00:20:54,629 --> 00:20:57,883
He has to get ready for school.
He's still snoring away.
189
00:21:00,719 --> 00:21:03,805
Only half a pot, ma'am.
190
00:21:04,598 --> 00:21:07,142
Are you feeding the cow enough?
191
00:21:27,287 --> 00:21:29,289
Apu, get up.
192
00:22:53,456 --> 00:22:57,711
"Deep in the heart of Janasthan..."
193
00:23:05,844 --> 00:23:08,096
Hey!
194
00:23:08,555 --> 00:23:11,182
Why are you getting up again?
195
00:23:11,766 --> 00:23:15,103
How many more times
must you dampen your eraser?
196
00:23:16,104 --> 00:23:17,606
Sit down.
197
00:23:17,939 --> 00:23:22,068
"Deep in the heart of Janasthan..."
198
00:23:23,778 --> 00:23:26,656
Puti, what do you want?
199
00:23:26,781 --> 00:23:28,617
One paisa of puffed rice.
200
00:23:28,783 --> 00:23:31,077
Hand over the money.
201
00:23:33,788 --> 00:23:38,543
"...stands the mighty
mountain Prasravan...
202
00:23:39,377 --> 00:23:42,213
its lofty summit...
203
00:23:46,259 --> 00:23:48,970
crowned
by ever drifting clouds...
204
00:23:56,311 --> 00:23:59,022
that ceaseless gales...
205
00:24:06,613 --> 00:24:10,450
urge along
the pathways of the sky..."
206
00:24:13,953 --> 00:24:15,955
How are you, Prasanna?
207
00:24:16,164 --> 00:24:19,209
Welcome, Mr. Majumdar!
208
00:24:19,542 --> 00:24:22,212
Dear me!
It's a trap to kill people!
209
00:24:25,548 --> 00:24:28,843
- Hello there.
- How's everything?
210
00:24:29,010 --> 00:24:30,470
Just fine.
211
00:24:31,179 --> 00:24:33,014
Come in, come in.
212
00:24:33,348 --> 00:24:35,850
You've spread quite a net, eh?
213
00:24:35,975 --> 00:24:38,853
How many little fish
have you caught now?
214
00:24:39,187 --> 00:24:41,272
There were eight.
215
00:24:41,398 --> 00:24:43,233
A new boy just arrived.
216
00:24:43,358 --> 00:24:46,528
The proverbial nine jewels!
217
00:24:48,863 --> 00:24:50,949
Apu, what are you smiling about?
218
00:24:51,199 --> 00:24:53,118
Is this a theater?
219
00:24:53,535 --> 00:24:57,038
My grandson will end up
behind a plow too.
220
00:24:58,164 --> 00:24:59,916
You were saying, sir?
221
00:25:00,041 --> 00:25:03,044
Seen any good
traveling troupes lately?
222
00:25:03,211 --> 00:25:07,298
I did see
the Trailokyatarini company.
223
00:25:07,882 --> 00:25:10,176
Gupe, what are you doing?
224
00:25:11,219 --> 00:25:14,431
The next village over
225
00:25:14,556 --> 00:25:17,183
booked a very good company.
226
00:25:17,350 --> 00:25:18,768
I'll thrash you!
227
00:25:18,935 --> 00:25:22,397
They thought
they could score one on us,
228
00:25:22,564 --> 00:25:26,651
but they didn't reckon
with Badyi Majumdar!
229
00:25:26,776 --> 00:25:31,030
I've booked
the finest troupe ever seen.
230
00:25:31,197 --> 00:25:33,032
Mr. Chakravarti!
231
00:25:33,199 --> 00:25:35,535
Let me have a little oil.
232
00:25:35,660 --> 00:25:37,203
Just a bit.
233
00:25:39,581 --> 00:25:43,626
I haven't put you down
for a contribution yet,
234
00:25:43,793 --> 00:25:47,172
but in times of need
one can expect a favor, right?
235
00:25:47,297 --> 00:25:48,715
Of course.
236
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,802
Don't forget your friend
Badyi Majumdar.
237
00:25:54,304 --> 00:25:56,139
Mr. Chakravarti, wait!
238
00:25:56,431 --> 00:25:58,016
Here.
239
00:26:00,018 --> 00:26:03,980
When this troupe's
drummer plays,
240
00:26:04,105 --> 00:26:06,065
it sounds like thunder.
241
00:26:06,191 --> 00:26:07,484
You don't say.
242
00:26:07,692 --> 00:26:11,446
Mr. Chakravarti, about
your subscription for the festival...
243
00:26:15,492 --> 00:26:17,869
Sote!
244
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,705
Show me your slate!
245
00:26:20,955 --> 00:26:23,166
Bring me his slate!
246
00:26:23,583 --> 00:26:24,834
Bring it here!
247
00:26:29,964 --> 00:26:32,634
What's this?
248
00:26:32,926 --> 00:26:35,303
This is what you do
during dictation?
249
00:26:35,428 --> 00:26:38,973
Come here,
you little scoundrel!
250
00:26:46,105 --> 00:26:49,484
Hold out your hand!
251
00:27:28,064 --> 00:27:30,316
What are you doing?
252
00:27:30,692 --> 00:27:33,152
What did you take?
253
00:27:36,865 --> 00:27:40,243
What were you doing in the kitchen?
- Nothing.
254
00:27:40,535 --> 00:27:44,372
Nothing? I saw you take
something from the shelf.
255
00:27:44,539 --> 00:27:48,376
I'm out of chilies.
I just thought I'd take a few.
256
00:27:48,501 --> 00:27:50,044
Show me.
257
00:27:52,422 --> 00:27:54,465
You should have asked.
258
00:27:55,383 --> 00:27:59,596
I've told you I don't like anyone
puttering in my kitchen.
259
00:28:17,572 --> 00:28:19,866
When you're free, come here.
260
00:28:20,199 --> 00:28:22,243
I need you
to chop the greens.
261
00:28:29,083 --> 00:28:30,585
Sit down.
262
00:28:33,755 --> 00:28:37,091
At your age, other girls
are helping around the house,
263
00:28:37,258 --> 00:28:40,553
cooking, chopping vegetables,
scrubbing pots.
264
00:28:41,512 --> 00:28:45,099
They even help
with the religious rites.
265
00:28:47,977 --> 00:28:51,439
You think it's right
to be running around all day?
266
00:28:53,107 --> 00:28:56,861
If you admire Ranu so much,
why not learn from her?
267
00:29:10,375 --> 00:29:12,585
Have you got
a fever again today?
268
00:29:12,794 --> 00:29:14,379
Let me see.
269
00:29:16,798 --> 00:29:19,175
Remember to drink
your basil tea.
270
00:29:22,261 --> 00:29:25,515
Run and tell your mother
we were at Puti's house.
271
00:29:25,682 --> 00:29:27,308
You're back?
272
00:29:36,401 --> 00:29:39,028
Don't touch!
Now you've done it.
273
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,322
Mommy, I'm hungry.
274
00:29:41,447 --> 00:29:44,325
Didn't you have some rice?
275
00:29:44,450 --> 00:29:46,327
- Yes.
- Well, then?
276
00:29:46,494 --> 00:29:48,746
Apu! Come here!
277
00:29:50,123 --> 00:29:53,918
There's rice in the big bowl.
Ask Durga for some.
278
00:30:01,509 --> 00:30:02,969
Hari!
279
00:30:03,386 --> 00:30:05,221
Help me up.
280
00:30:05,513 --> 00:30:07,056
What's wrong?
281
00:30:10,768 --> 00:30:12,854
My back's gotten so stiff.
282
00:30:13,021 --> 00:30:15,023
How are you these days?
283
00:30:15,189 --> 00:30:18,693
Oh, no one cares
about an old woman.
284
00:30:18,901 --> 00:30:22,238
- What's happened now?
- Just look at this.
285
00:30:26,534 --> 00:30:27,994
What's that?
286
00:30:28,119 --> 00:30:29,871
My shawl.
287
00:30:30,038 --> 00:30:33,041
I wear it in the evenings.
288
00:30:33,374 --> 00:30:36,711
I'll buy you a new one
for the puja festival.
289
00:30:36,836 --> 00:30:39,505
- Really?
- Yes.
290
00:30:42,842 --> 00:30:45,553
Can I have some live coals?
291
00:30:50,058 --> 00:30:53,644
How can I supply you
with coals all the time?
292
00:30:53,770 --> 00:30:56,272
Did you bring in some firewood?
293
00:31:07,075 --> 00:31:10,745
Did you ask for your pay today?
How long will you keep quiet?
294
00:31:10,870 --> 00:31:14,332
- Mr. Ray has problems with his land.
- So what?
295
00:31:14,457 --> 00:31:17,794
I could lose my job
if I ask now.
296
00:31:17,919 --> 00:31:21,589
So be it. I'm sure there are
other jobs in town.
297
00:31:21,714 --> 00:31:24,926
Eight rupees,
and no pay in three months.
298
00:31:25,051 --> 00:31:28,096
Some job!
- This has never happened before.
299
00:31:28,262 --> 00:31:31,974
So you sit and do nothing?
Have you seen the house
300
00:31:32,308 --> 00:31:35,394
and what the children
are eating and wearing?
301
00:31:36,437 --> 00:31:38,731
Durga has had a fever for days.
302
00:31:38,898 --> 00:31:41,234
There's no medicine
or even proper food.
303
00:31:41,359 --> 00:31:44,320
The boy goes to school in rags.
Is that right?
304
00:31:47,657 --> 00:31:49,742
Here.
305
00:31:56,958 --> 00:32:00,837
We can set aside repairs,
but debts must be repaid.
306
00:32:01,129 --> 00:32:04,132
I borrowed five rupees from
Mrs. Mukherjee six months ago,
307
00:32:04,298 --> 00:32:07,093
and she's quick
with the cutting remarks.
308
00:32:08,052 --> 00:32:10,054
Do something,
for goodness' sake!
309
00:32:14,142 --> 00:32:15,726
Sit down.
310
00:32:28,239 --> 00:32:30,283
You won't tell Mother?
311
00:32:35,663 --> 00:32:39,041
Idiot! She'll hear you!
312
00:33:16,537 --> 00:33:18,206
The sweets seller.
313
00:33:26,088 --> 00:33:27,924
Do you want anything?
314
00:33:28,216 --> 00:33:31,552
Delicious fried cream,
sweet lentil balls,
315
00:33:31,719 --> 00:33:34,180
coconut candies,
chandrapull,
316
00:33:34,388 --> 00:33:36,307
sweet cheese balls.
317
00:33:36,515 --> 00:33:39,769
- Go ask Father for money.
- You go.
318
00:33:40,228 --> 00:33:41,854
Go on!
319
00:34:01,207 --> 00:34:03,459
I suppose
he's asking for money.
320
00:34:04,126 --> 00:34:06,921
Don't give him any.
It's a bad habit.
321
00:34:09,924 --> 00:34:11,092
Nothing?
322
00:34:16,264 --> 00:34:18,933
He's headed for Tunu's house.
323
00:35:43,809 --> 00:35:46,645
Chinibas is here!
324
00:35:52,777 --> 00:35:55,780
What's going on?
Off with you.
325
00:35:56,113 --> 00:35:58,282
What do you have today?
326
00:35:58,491 --> 00:36:01,952
Mother wants two annas' worth.
327
00:36:02,078 --> 00:36:03,996
Durga, come and play.
328
00:36:04,121 --> 00:36:07,291
Durga's on our team!
- Apu, come play!
329
00:36:07,458 --> 00:36:09,794
Want to come play?
330
00:36:10,127 --> 00:36:12,922
Then go home.
I'll be there soon.
331
00:36:14,882 --> 00:36:17,385
Apu's left out...
332
00:36:23,015 --> 00:36:25,518
Durga, would you like
some sweets?
333
00:36:25,726 --> 00:36:28,104
I said not to offer them any.
334
00:36:28,229 --> 00:36:30,398
They can buy their own!
335
00:36:30,523 --> 00:36:32,733
I can't stand
such shameless greed!
336
00:36:33,025 --> 00:36:34,110
Show me.
337
00:36:39,657 --> 00:36:42,034
Tunu, you coming to play?
338
00:36:43,619 --> 00:36:45,204
Tunu?
339
00:36:47,957 --> 00:36:49,917
What are you doing?
340
00:36:52,420 --> 00:36:54,088
How pretty.
341
00:36:56,549 --> 00:36:59,009
Who gave them to you?
- My father.
342
00:37:00,678 --> 00:37:02,596
Let me help you.
343
00:37:03,180 --> 00:37:04,640
Come on.
344
00:37:08,102 --> 00:37:09,228
Open up.
345
00:37:10,396 --> 00:37:13,441
Come get your candy, Sunil.
346
00:37:15,443 --> 00:37:17,194
Come, Khuku.
347
00:38:51,288 --> 00:38:55,000
How many times
have I asked for a new shawl?
348
00:38:55,167 --> 00:38:57,670
I need it for the evenings.
349
00:38:58,879 --> 00:39:01,215
Durga, come here.
350
00:39:14,645 --> 00:39:17,022
What about your hair?
Sit down.
351
00:39:35,624 --> 00:39:38,961
Mother, can you braid it
in four strands?
352
00:39:39,253 --> 00:39:41,255
Keep your head still.
353
00:39:43,132 --> 00:39:45,092
Ranu knows how.
354
00:39:46,135 --> 00:39:48,095
Look at your hair.
355
00:39:48,429 --> 00:39:50,472
Not a drop of ail,
356
00:39:51,181 --> 00:39:53,183
and you want four strands!
357
00:39:54,935 --> 00:39:56,770
Mother, did you know
358
00:39:56,895 --> 00:39:59,898
that a prospective match
is coming to visit Ranu?
359
00:40:00,065 --> 00:40:01,734
Who's coming?
360
00:40:35,768 --> 00:40:38,771
Didi, have you ever seen a train?
361
00:40:39,146 --> 00:40:41,148
- Sure.
- Don't lie.
362
00:40:41,649 --> 00:40:43,942
You know where the tracks are?
363
00:40:44,109 --> 00:40:45,194
Where?
364
00:40:45,486 --> 00:40:49,782
Past the big meadow
and beyond the rice fields.
365
00:40:50,157 --> 00:40:53,535
- Shall we go one day?
- Let's see what you wrote.
366
00:40:57,873 --> 00:41:00,292
Very good!
367
00:41:00,626 --> 00:41:02,961
Now write...
368
00:41:03,504 --> 00:41:05,589
"Yikes! A ghost!"
369
00:41:37,413 --> 00:41:38,580
Here.
370
00:41:46,171 --> 00:41:48,590
Did you do well
at school today?
371
00:42:01,228 --> 00:42:07,025
You're so young.
Don't the other boys tease you?
372
00:42:13,657 --> 00:42:15,993
Apu, come here.
373
00:42:21,957 --> 00:42:24,752
Be a good boy and eat.
374
00:42:25,753 --> 00:42:27,671
You mustn't waste it.
375
00:42:28,213 --> 00:42:30,883
Apu, come here.
376
00:42:32,676 --> 00:42:34,762
Don't you want it?
377
00:42:39,975 --> 00:42:42,269
Fine, then. Don't eat.
378
00:42:43,604 --> 00:42:47,149
Nothing sweet to go with it.
Just plain rice.
379
00:42:48,776 --> 00:42:51,278
No wonder he runs off.
380
00:42:51,653 --> 00:42:53,614
How will he survive?
381
00:42:53,739 --> 00:42:56,074
Was he even born to survive?
382
00:42:57,367 --> 00:42:59,453
Go rinse your mouth.
383
00:43:07,795 --> 00:43:09,963
Where's Durga?
384
00:43:10,464 --> 00:43:13,467
- Shall I go get her toy box?
- Yes.
385
00:43:14,885 --> 00:43:17,471
A fine way
to bring up your daughter!
386
00:43:19,264 --> 00:43:20,933
What's happened?
387
00:43:21,266 --> 00:43:24,269
Thievery, that's what!
Your daughter stole
388
00:43:24,394 --> 00:43:26,647
Tunu's bead necklace.
389
00:43:28,357 --> 00:43:30,609
She stole it?
390
00:43:30,734 --> 00:43:34,988
Don't look so surprised.
She's a thief through and through.
391
00:43:38,992 --> 00:43:41,954
Her father brought it
for her from town.
392
00:43:42,246 --> 00:43:45,582
Tunu showed it to your daughter.
393
00:43:45,874 --> 00:43:48,335
Then this morning it vanished
394
00:43:48,460 --> 00:43:49,962
in broad daylight!
395
00:43:52,798 --> 00:43:55,050
She's had her eye on it all along,
396
00:43:55,175 --> 00:43:57,636
asking to see it every day.
397
00:43:57,845 --> 00:44:01,223
You won't find it in there,
and Durga isn't home.
398
00:44:01,348 --> 00:44:03,475
How do you know
she took it anyway?
399
00:44:03,684 --> 00:44:05,644
- Durga said...
- Quiet!
400
00:44:05,811 --> 00:44:08,313
Are you suggesting
we hid it somewhere?
401
00:44:08,689 --> 00:44:12,734
- No, but it might have fallen off...
- It didn't.
402
00:44:13,026 --> 00:44:15,487
We searched high and low.
403
00:44:15,612 --> 00:44:17,489
I wouldn't be here otherwise.
404
00:44:28,292 --> 00:44:30,586
Did you take Tunu's necklace?
405
00:44:32,212 --> 00:44:34,214
Didn't you?
406
00:44:34,339 --> 00:44:36,216
Take your hands off her!
407
00:44:36,383 --> 00:44:39,052
- She's a liar.
- Let me see.
408
00:44:39,511 --> 00:44:42,806
I suppose that fruit
is from your own orchard?
409
00:44:43,348 --> 00:44:45,309
What's going on?
410
00:44:52,357 --> 00:44:56,570
What's going on here? Huh?
411
00:45:00,490 --> 00:45:02,367
What's the matter?
412
00:45:07,456 --> 00:45:09,249
What's going on?
413
00:45:09,958 --> 00:45:12,586
Sarbajaya, what is it?
414
00:45:21,929 --> 00:45:24,264
You know we have no orchard,
415
00:45:24,431 --> 00:45:27,768
and I know it's wrong
to take other people's fruit.
416
00:45:27,935 --> 00:45:32,814
But how can you accuse her
of stealing something of value?
417
00:45:33,148 --> 00:45:36,443
Fruit has no name on it.
If a child happens to...
418
00:45:36,818 --> 00:45:41,073
Well! The rupees I lent you
had no name on them either,
419
00:45:41,198 --> 00:45:42,824
and you took them
eagerly enough!
420
00:45:43,450 --> 00:45:46,745
You've had them long enough.
I'd like them back.
421
00:45:46,870 --> 00:45:48,205
Come along.
422
00:45:50,749 --> 00:45:54,294
Should you find that necklace,
kindly return it.
423
00:46:02,302 --> 00:46:03,971
What's going on?
424
00:46:04,137 --> 00:46:07,516
Our fruit vanishes
the moment it hits the ground.
425
00:46:07,641 --> 00:46:10,352
When I complain,
the mother is insolent to me!
426
00:46:10,644 --> 00:46:12,729
"Fruit has no name on it.
427
00:46:12,854 --> 00:46:15,315
So what if a child takes some?"
428
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:17,526
Like mother, like daughter!
429
00:46:17,651 --> 00:46:19,736
A pair of thieves!
430
00:46:27,285 --> 00:46:28,328
Come here.
431
00:46:30,789 --> 00:46:32,749
I said come here.
432
00:46:34,334 --> 00:46:36,128
You won't come?
433
00:47:24,051 --> 00:47:25,218
Get out!
434
00:48:21,483 --> 00:48:25,028
"...And that measure
is called a maund.
435
00:48:25,195 --> 00:48:30,450
A rupee is divided into annas,
gondas, and cowries..."
436
00:48:51,429 --> 00:48:52,639
Apu.
437
00:48:53,098 --> 00:48:56,601
Durga's meal is waiting.
Go get her.
438
00:49:18,081 --> 00:49:19,875
Just then...
439
00:49:20,000 --> 00:49:23,003
a demoness appeared.
440
00:49:23,503 --> 00:49:28,008
"Krik, krak, krud,
I smell human blood.
441
00:49:28,175 --> 00:49:31,011
Who lies awake in my temple?"
442
00:49:31,386 --> 00:49:33,471
The blue prince slept
443
00:49:33,597 --> 00:49:36,433
while the red prince kept watch.
444
00:49:37,976 --> 00:49:41,188
In the second watch of the night,
445
00:49:41,354 --> 00:49:43,315
the demoness appeared again.
446
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:47,694
"Krik, krak, krud,
I smell human blood.
447
00:49:47,944 --> 00:49:51,031
Who lies awake in my temple?"
448
00:49:51,156 --> 00:49:55,118
- Durga, open the door.
- I'll be right back.
449
00:49:57,954 --> 00:50:01,708
Give this to your mother
and ask her to come here.
450
00:50:08,048 --> 00:50:09,716
Set it down.
451
00:50:15,347 --> 00:50:19,142
- Are you asleep in there?
- What is it?
452
00:50:19,267 --> 00:50:22,020
Come here.
I have a lot to tell you.
453
00:50:24,272 --> 00:50:27,025
Durga, watch the milk.
454
00:50:36,826 --> 00:50:38,411
What?
455
00:50:44,125 --> 00:50:46,461
No matter what people say...
456
00:50:48,088 --> 00:50:50,382
Mr. Ray is a good man.
457
00:50:54,052 --> 00:50:56,221
Here you are.
458
00:50:57,264 --> 00:51:00,600
Three months' wages... 24 rupees.
Count it.
459
00:51:00,767 --> 00:51:03,061
I'll quickly say
my evening prayers.
460
00:51:03,186 --> 00:51:05,605
I have lots more to tell you.
461
00:51:21,454 --> 00:51:23,915
I was collecting rents today
462
00:51:24,124 --> 00:51:27,961
when I met
a distinguished-looking fellow.
463
00:51:28,253 --> 00:51:31,131
He suddenly bowed deeply
and said,
464
00:51:31,298 --> 00:51:35,176
"Sir, you don't know me,
but I knew your father well.
465
00:51:36,052 --> 00:51:39,431
He often officiated
as a priest at my house."
466
00:51:39,639 --> 00:51:42,767
"What's your name?"
"Mahesh Biswas."
467
00:51:42,934 --> 00:51:45,312
"What do you want?"
468
00:51:45,478 --> 00:51:48,398
"I have something to ask of you."
"What?"
469
00:51:48,982 --> 00:51:53,069
"My whole family would like
to be initiated next month.
470
00:51:53,194 --> 00:51:56,489
It would be wonderful
if you could officiate."
471
00:51:58,658 --> 00:52:02,120
Quite wealthy people.
- Did you say you'd do it?
472
00:52:02,871 --> 00:52:05,874
Are you crazy?
Accept right off?
473
00:52:05,999 --> 00:52:08,209
They'd think I was hard up.
474
00:52:08,335 --> 00:52:11,504
Let them.
We are hard up.
475
00:52:11,671 --> 00:52:16,301
There could be a scandal
if people found out his caste.
476
00:52:16,426 --> 00:52:18,803
- Who would tell them?
- You never know.
477
00:52:18,970 --> 00:52:22,349
Maybe you.
I know how you women are.
478
00:52:23,058 --> 00:52:27,520
I'm busy enough without running
around telling your business.
479
00:52:27,729 --> 00:52:31,691
Don't be angry.
The job's not going anywhere.
480
00:52:32,275 --> 00:52:35,153
I told him we'd discuss it
after the festival.
481
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,364
I mustn't seem overeager.
482
00:52:37,530 --> 00:52:40,283
Try to manage till then
on what I gave you.
483
00:52:40,408 --> 00:52:44,621
That should cover clothes for the kids
and a shawl for Auntie.
484
00:52:44,913 --> 00:52:47,082
We must pay
Mrs. Mukherjee tomorrow.
485
00:52:47,207 --> 00:52:51,586
Fine. Our other debts
can wait two months.
486
00:52:53,463 --> 00:52:55,423
And the repairs?
487
00:52:55,548 --> 00:52:59,010
They'll wait too.
The house survived the rains.
488
00:52:59,219 --> 00:53:03,056
I'll get an estimate
from the carpenter this month.
489
00:53:03,181 --> 00:53:06,351
You have to do something
about the kitchen.
490
00:53:06,476 --> 00:53:10,897
Kitchen, cowshed, walls, roof...
491
00:53:11,022 --> 00:53:14,234
it will all be done.
Don't worry.
492
00:53:19,531 --> 00:53:22,325
How many more days
till the puja festival?
493
00:53:24,411 --> 00:53:26,079
Twenty-one.
494
00:53:37,424 --> 00:53:38,967
Didi.
495
00:53:43,054 --> 00:53:45,598
Did you take Tunu's necklace?
496
00:53:45,765 --> 00:53:47,350
Don't be silly.
497
00:53:49,394 --> 00:53:52,480
- Who did?
- I don't know. Go to sleep.
498
00:53:54,732 --> 00:53:57,444
I have an idea for a new play
499
00:53:58,194 --> 00:54:00,280
about Babhruvahana.
500
00:54:00,947 --> 00:54:03,700
I'll write it
when I find some time.
501
00:54:13,918 --> 00:54:15,587
Listen...
502
00:54:16,129 --> 00:54:18,798
you lived in Benares a long time.
503
00:54:19,799 --> 00:54:22,552
Do people know you there?
504
00:54:23,470 --> 00:54:25,597
Some certainly do.
505
00:54:26,306 --> 00:54:29,309
Isn't there a ghat by the river
506
00:54:29,642 --> 00:54:33,771
where priests sing
and recite from the scriptures?
507
00:54:34,397 --> 00:54:37,984
It's called
Dashashamedh Ghat.
508
00:54:38,485 --> 00:54:42,197
- They earn a lot there, right?
- I suppose.
509
00:54:42,447 --> 00:54:44,449
Then let's go.
510
00:54:45,283 --> 00:54:47,660
- We can't do that.
- Why not?
511
00:54:48,161 --> 00:54:49,996
How can we?
512
00:54:50,330 --> 00:54:54,083
I left there to return here
to my ancestral home.
513
00:54:54,375 --> 00:54:57,212
I can't go
the other direction now.
514
00:54:57,504 --> 00:55:01,007
Why not? You were away
eight years before.
515
00:55:01,174 --> 00:55:04,552
You left me at my father's
and never even wrote.
516
00:55:04,677 --> 00:55:07,347
I didn't really know you then.
517
00:55:07,639 --> 00:55:11,017
Think I'd have left if I did?
- A lot of difference it's made!
518
00:55:11,768 --> 00:55:14,854
This is my home now too.
519
00:55:17,690 --> 00:55:19,692
But just look at it.
520
00:55:20,026 --> 00:55:22,278
It's like living in the jungle.
521
00:55:23,404 --> 00:55:27,242
Jackals prowling around
as soon as night falls.
522
00:55:28,993 --> 00:55:33,206
No neighbors to sit and talk to.
523
00:55:34,290 --> 00:55:36,376
When you're not here,
524
00:55:36,876 --> 00:55:40,421
I'm terribly uneasy.
525
00:55:42,715 --> 00:55:45,009
But you wouldn't understand.
526
00:55:46,427 --> 00:55:49,222
You eat and sleep
and go about your work,
527
00:55:49,347 --> 00:55:52,350
unconcerned
whether you're paid or not.
528
00:55:55,270 --> 00:55:57,564
I had lots of dreams too.
529
00:55:58,022 --> 00:56:00,775
All the things I wanted to do...
530
00:56:05,196 --> 00:56:09,951
Those who came before
have passed on
531
00:56:10,159 --> 00:56:13,246
And I'm left behind
532
00:56:13,746 --> 00:56:19,377
A penniless beggar
533
00:56:19,544 --> 00:56:21,754
Not a cowrie to my name
534
00:56:21,921 --> 00:56:25,008
Look, my purse is empty
535
00:56:41,482 --> 00:56:46,154
Lord, the day is done
and evening falls
536
00:56:46,487 --> 00:56:49,782
Ferry me across
to the other shore
537
00:57:13,181 --> 00:57:17,435
Apu, hurry with the wood.
The fire's not taking.
538
00:57:19,395 --> 00:57:22,023
Is that washed?
Set it down.
539
00:57:22,482 --> 00:57:24,025
This blade!
540
00:57:35,703 --> 00:57:39,457
- Granny, are you getting married?
- Where's your mother?
541
00:57:39,624 --> 00:57:41,376
At the pond.
542
00:57:45,338 --> 00:57:47,256
Umi, come join us.
543
00:57:47,382 --> 00:57:49,550
We're having a picnic.
544
00:57:53,513 --> 00:57:55,848
All that? Set it down.
545
00:57:59,060 --> 00:58:01,896
Where's Nera?
- Up there.
546
00:58:02,271 --> 00:58:04,190
Get down here!
547
00:58:04,982 --> 00:58:08,569
Wash the banana leaf plates.
Sitting in the tree!
548
00:58:10,071 --> 00:58:12,532
Where'd you get
that shawl, Auntie?
549
00:58:12,865 --> 00:58:15,034
Raju gave it to me.
550
00:58:15,201 --> 00:58:19,997
It cost him 9 1/2 annas.
- It's very nice.
551
00:58:23,543 --> 00:58:25,712
Here comes my sister!
552
00:58:26,754 --> 00:58:30,133
How'd you get away?
Isn't your mother home?
553
00:58:30,258 --> 00:58:33,469
- What are you making?
- Khichuri.
554
00:58:33,594 --> 00:58:36,889
Rice, lentils,
potatoes, eggplant,
555
00:58:37,056 --> 00:58:40,059
cumin, chilies,
bay leaves, oil...
556
00:58:45,022 --> 00:58:47,650
Tepi, didn't you bring salt?
557
00:58:48,067 --> 00:58:50,278
You only said oil!
558
00:58:50,403 --> 00:58:53,239
You said you'd bring it!
559
00:59:04,375 --> 00:59:05,668
Wait!
560
00:59:28,608 --> 00:59:30,109
Auntie.
561
00:59:32,820 --> 00:59:33,905
Listen.
562
00:59:34,280 --> 00:59:35,948
Come here.
563
00:59:45,333 --> 00:59:47,168
What's the matter?
564
00:59:54,425 --> 00:59:56,260
Where'd you get that shawl!?
565
00:59:56,803 --> 00:59:59,305
Uh...
566
00:59:59,430 --> 01:00:03,059
Raju gave it to me.
567
01:00:03,184 --> 01:00:05,686
Gave it to you?
Listen to me.
568
01:00:08,481 --> 01:00:11,317
You didn't ask him for it?
- Why would I?
569
01:00:12,777 --> 01:00:17,657
I simply said that at my age
I get chilly in the evening...
570
01:00:17,782 --> 01:00:20,284
Fine.
Then they can feed you too!
571
01:00:20,910 --> 01:00:22,495
Come now.
572
01:00:22,662 --> 01:00:26,415
I did ask Harihar for a shawl.
573
01:00:26,791 --> 01:00:28,251
Did he say no?
574
01:00:28,417 --> 01:00:31,295
Did you have to go begging?
You should be ashamed!
575
01:00:31,420 --> 01:00:34,006
What must Raju think?
576
01:00:34,173 --> 01:00:36,425
Can't an old woman
have wishes too?
577
01:00:37,218 --> 01:00:40,680
So you have wishes now...
while you eat our food!
578
01:00:40,805 --> 01:00:43,516
You realize the children
often go hungry?
579
01:00:43,641 --> 01:00:45,643
What about their wishes?
580
01:00:45,768 --> 01:00:48,271
Will you feed and clothe them?
581
01:00:48,396 --> 01:00:50,898
As long as you're
dependent on me,
582
01:00:51,023 --> 01:00:53,192
don't go around begging.
583
01:00:53,693 --> 01:00:56,279
Otherwise
make other arrangements.
584
01:00:56,654 --> 01:00:59,699
Put me up or don't.
585
01:01:00,575 --> 01:01:05,246
Think I have nowhere to go?
- Fine! Then leave at once!
586
01:01:22,346 --> 01:01:23,973
What's wrong?
587
01:01:32,857 --> 01:01:34,734
What's the matter?
588
01:01:37,236 --> 01:01:38,779
There, there.
589
01:01:41,449 --> 01:01:43,451
Go wherever you like.
590
01:01:44,327 --> 01:01:46,704
I can't keep you here any longer.
591
01:01:52,001 --> 01:01:53,669
It's delicious.
592
01:01:54,462 --> 01:01:57,757
Your husband will love your cooking.
- Hush!
593
01:02:01,594 --> 01:02:04,472
- How long until your wedding?
- I don't know.
594
01:02:04,764 --> 01:02:07,475
- I know. Shall I tell you?
- All right.
595
01:02:07,934 --> 01:02:11,562
Two months and ten days, right?
596
01:02:13,856 --> 01:02:17,318
How's it feel?
- Same as for everyone.
597
01:02:17,443 --> 01:02:18,778
Tell me.
598
01:02:18,945 --> 01:02:20,237
You'll find out.
599
01:02:20,446 --> 01:02:22,281
It won't happen to me.
600
01:02:22,448 --> 01:02:23,741
Sure it will.
601
01:02:23,866 --> 01:02:26,494
- I just know it won't.
- It will.
602
01:02:26,661 --> 01:02:29,497
Your mother's looking
for a suitable match.
603
01:02:29,664 --> 01:02:31,958
It's true. Ask her.
604
01:02:52,561 --> 01:02:54,188
Raju...
605
01:02:55,815 --> 01:02:57,733
are you home?
606
01:02:57,858 --> 01:02:59,360
Who's that?
607
01:02:59,485 --> 01:03:02,863
- I've come to see...
- Auntie?
608
01:03:03,698 --> 01:03:06,367
If you could take me in
609
01:03:06,492 --> 01:03:09,453
for a day or two.
610
01:03:09,578 --> 01:03:12,999
- To stay?
- Just a day or two.
611
01:03:13,165 --> 01:03:15,626
I get no peace at home.
612
01:03:15,751 --> 01:03:18,337
Nothing but nagging
day and night.
613
01:03:20,381 --> 01:03:22,008
Listen...
614
01:03:23,092 --> 01:03:27,179
go tell your mother
Auntie has come lo stay.
615
01:03:27,346 --> 01:03:30,224
And bring Auntie
water for her feet.
616
01:03:30,349 --> 01:03:34,311
Where else can
this old woman go?
617
01:03:34,478 --> 01:03:36,897
So I thought I'd come see you.
618
01:03:40,943 --> 01:03:42,528
My child...
619
01:03:44,822 --> 01:03:47,742
if you don't look after me,
who will?
620
01:04:45,132 --> 01:04:48,135
Beware, O evil Serpent King!
621
01:04:48,427 --> 01:04:50,679
Utter such words again
622
01:04:50,846 --> 01:04:53,557
and I shall cut your tongue out
623
01:04:53,682 --> 01:04:58,020
and cast it to the jackals and dogs
for the good of the world!
624
01:04:58,187 --> 01:05:01,982
And for the good of the world
I shall destroy you!
625
01:05:02,191 --> 01:05:05,402
No, Father, I beseech you!
626
01:05:05,569 --> 01:05:08,072
Do not make
your own daughter a widow.
627
01:05:08,239 --> 01:05:10,449
Away, dissolute serpent woman!
628
01:05:10,616 --> 01:05:12,451
Sujata!
629
01:05:12,576 --> 01:05:14,537
Why do you forget your place?
630
01:05:14,870 --> 01:05:17,456
No longer are you
the Serpent King's daughter!
631
01:05:17,665 --> 01:05:21,252
You are the wife of one
descended from the mighty sun!
632
01:05:21,460 --> 01:05:23,963
Why, for the sake
of my humble life,
633
01:05:24,130 --> 01:05:27,633
do you prostrate
before a despicable serpent?
634
01:05:27,758 --> 01:05:31,137
No, I would not even
imagine your death.
635
01:05:31,345 --> 01:05:34,181
Father, trample me all you will,
636
01:05:34,306 --> 01:05:37,810
only grant me
the vermilion mark of marriage!
637
01:05:37,935 --> 01:05:42,356
A human can ask
for nothing from a serpent!
638
01:05:42,523 --> 01:05:46,861
Away from me,
you shameless hussy!
639
01:05:46,986 --> 01:05:49,488
Sujata, arise!
640
01:05:49,655 --> 01:05:52,533
Heed your husband's words!
641
01:05:52,658 --> 01:05:54,618
No!
642
01:05:55,035 --> 01:05:58,706
Kill me first, Father,
and then do as you propose.
643
01:05:58,831 --> 01:06:02,126
Let me go!
644
01:06:02,334 --> 01:06:05,254
Let him go!
If there is indeed a god,
645
01:06:05,421 --> 01:06:08,299
the serpent's pride
will be destroyed!
646
01:06:08,424 --> 01:06:11,385
No, your pride
will be destroyed first!
647
01:06:11,510 --> 01:06:12,970
Mahakal...
648
01:06:13,095 --> 01:06:15,347
see how my daughter
holds me back!
649
01:06:15,514 --> 01:06:17,183
Slay him!
650
01:06:17,349 --> 01:06:20,352
Be merciless in your revenge!
651
01:06:20,477 --> 01:06:22,563
Do you remember, Kusha,
652
01:06:22,688 --> 01:06:25,191
how I swore on the battlefield
653
01:06:25,357 --> 01:06:28,027
to crush your skull
beneath my boot?
654
01:06:28,152 --> 01:06:31,197
Today is my chance!
- No, Mahakal.
655
01:06:31,363 --> 01:06:33,616
My brother! My friend!
656
01:06:33,741 --> 01:06:37,036
I beseech you, spare his life!
657
01:06:37,578 --> 01:06:39,997
Pay her no heed!
658
01:06:40,331 --> 01:06:42,541
Slay the evil Kusha!
659
01:06:42,708 --> 01:06:44,710
I will deal with my daughter!
660
01:06:44,877 --> 01:06:47,171
Come, you wicked woman!
661
01:06:47,338 --> 01:06:49,506
Let me go, Father!
662
01:06:51,967 --> 01:06:54,845
Today I shall slake
my thirst for revenge!
663
01:06:54,970 --> 01:06:58,015
Take this, my husband,
and protect yourself!
664
01:06:58,140 --> 01:07:00,476
See now, you demon!
665
01:07:00,601 --> 01:07:03,896
Now the victorious trumpet
will sound!
666
01:07:04,313 --> 01:07:09,693
Will someone here
give me a weapon
667
01:07:09,818 --> 01:07:14,198
that I may spill his blood?
668
01:07:14,406 --> 01:07:17,660
Take this, O King...
669
01:07:17,868 --> 01:07:20,663
and join the battle!
670
01:07:20,829 --> 01:07:23,040
Take this weapon, sister...
671
01:07:23,165 --> 01:07:25,793
and save your husband!
672
01:07:49,984 --> 01:07:53,487
Durga,
go see where the calf went.
673
01:07:53,654 --> 01:07:56,949
- Mommy, would you tie this on me?
- Wait.
674
01:07:57,116 --> 01:07:59,118
Am I your servant now?
675
01:07:59,285 --> 01:08:02,663
Apu, let's go look for Auntie.
676
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,874
No, go find the calf first.
677
01:08:06,792 --> 01:08:08,502
What's that?
678
01:08:11,463 --> 01:08:13,757
Where did you get that foil?
679
01:08:51,128 --> 01:08:53,088
How dare you!
680
01:08:54,298 --> 01:08:56,592
What's this? Durga!
681
01:08:57,384 --> 01:08:59,553
What's going on?
682
01:08:59,678 --> 01:09:02,765
Are you hitting him again?
- He was in my toy box.
683
01:09:02,931 --> 01:09:06,518
So what? What use
is your precious toy box?
684
01:09:07,186 --> 01:09:09,396
- He took all my foil.
- Enough!
685
01:09:09,563 --> 01:09:11,690
Go find the calf.
686
01:09:17,321 --> 01:09:18,489
Idiot!
687
01:09:18,781 --> 01:09:21,116
Dressing up as a prince!
688
01:10:42,990 --> 01:10:46,952
Sarbajaya, are you home?
689
01:10:47,161 --> 01:10:49,121
What brings you back?
690
01:10:51,957 --> 01:10:54,585
I'm not feeling very well.
691
01:10:54,751 --> 01:10:59,923
I thought I'd spend
my last days in the old home.
692
01:11:00,090 --> 01:11:03,760
Don't use that excuse.
A lot you care about the old home!
693
01:11:03,927 --> 01:11:06,513
You'd better leave
or there'll be trouble.
694
01:11:06,805 --> 01:11:08,807
Just give me a minute.
695
01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,002
Sitting down, are you?
696
01:11:38,003 --> 01:11:41,256
Let me catch my breath.
697
01:12:07,199 --> 01:12:08,867
Auntie?
698
01:12:09,201 --> 01:12:11,703
Did you fall asleep?
699
01:12:13,205 --> 01:12:15,999
Would you give me
some water?
700
01:12:16,333 --> 01:12:19,211
The pitcher's right there.
Help yourself.
701
01:16:39,262 --> 01:16:40,847
Didi!
702
01:16:59,324 --> 01:17:00,367
Sit down.
703
01:17:04,496 --> 01:17:05,789
Eat it.
704
01:17:11,837 --> 01:17:13,839
Where are we?
705
01:17:14,506 --> 01:17:16,383
What are those?
706
01:17:20,512 --> 01:17:22,222
If Mommy...
707
01:20:08,221 --> 01:20:09,931
Auntie?
708
01:21:02,817 --> 01:21:07,947
Lord, the day is done
and evening falls
709
01:21:08,114 --> 01:21:11,242
Ferry me across
to the other shore
710
01:21:12,160 --> 01:21:15,955
They say you are
the lord of the crossing
711
01:21:16,122 --> 01:21:20,460
I call out to you
712
01:21:30,136 --> 01:21:35,183
Lord, the day is done
and evening falls
713
01:21:35,391 --> 01:21:38,937
Ferry me across
to the other shore
714
01:21:48,238 --> 01:21:52,117
You take those across
715
01:21:52,700 --> 01:21:57,789
Who haven't a cowrie
to their name
716
01:22:06,589 --> 01:22:09,134
I'm a poor beggar
717
01:22:09,300 --> 01:22:13,138
Without a cowrie to my name
718
01:22:18,017 --> 01:22:20,854
Come see Delhi!
719
01:22:20,979 --> 01:22:22,814
See the Qutub Tower...
720
01:22:23,815 --> 01:22:26,484
the Taj Mahal in Agra...
721
01:22:26,609 --> 01:22:30,321
the temples of Mathura,
the harbor of Bombay!
722
01:22:37,537 --> 01:22:41,124
- When will you be back?
- In a week or so.
723
01:22:41,291 --> 01:22:44,043
I'll stop in Bishnupur
on the way back.
724
01:22:44,169 --> 01:22:46,171
It's a market town.
725
01:22:46,337 --> 01:22:50,633
If I got a monthly account,
we could relax.
726
01:22:52,010 --> 01:22:54,137
Where'd I put that thing?
727
01:23:10,486 --> 01:23:12,405
I'm off.
728
01:23:16,159 --> 01:23:17,744
Good-bye.
729
01:23:46,731 --> 01:23:49,359
Apu, there's Father.
730
01:23:52,695 --> 01:23:55,198
Go ask him for some money.
731
01:24:29,190 --> 01:24:30,608
Durga...
732
01:24:31,067 --> 01:24:32,694
come here.
733
01:24:35,405 --> 01:24:38,950
- I want to make some bodi.
- Do something for me first.
734
01:24:39,742 --> 01:24:42,036
Go buy some molasses.
735
01:24:43,746 --> 01:24:46,416
I'll make rice pudding for Apu.
- Go now?
736
01:24:46,624 --> 01:24:48,001
Yes.
737
01:24:48,126 --> 01:24:50,712
He's been asking for it for days.
738
01:24:58,594 --> 01:25:01,306
A letter!
739
01:25:07,353 --> 01:25:09,147
Who's it from?
740
01:25:09,647 --> 01:25:11,274
Let me see.
741
01:25:13,484 --> 01:25:15,069
Give it here.
742
01:25:25,621 --> 01:25:28,333
I arrived
in Dasghara yesterday
743
01:25:28,458 --> 01:25:31,502
and met with Mahesh Biswas.
744
01:25:31,711 --> 01:25:35,673
The poor man recently lost
two of his children,
745
01:25:35,923 --> 01:25:39,677
so it was no time to mention
the initiation ceremony.
746
01:25:39,844 --> 01:25:42,013
I'm leaving for Bishnupur today.
747
01:25:42,138 --> 01:25:43,806
Don't worry.
748
01:25:43,973 --> 01:25:47,977
I'll earn money for the repairs
and return home soon.
749
01:25:48,102 --> 01:25:49,979
Don't be anxious.
750
01:25:54,108 --> 01:25:56,652
Whatever God ordains
is for the best.
751
01:25:56,819 --> 01:25:59,364
Love and blessings
to Durga and Apu.
752
01:25:59,614 --> 01:26:02,950
Be charitable
from the goodness of your heart
753
01:26:03,076 --> 01:26:05,995
If I can reach
the Mother's blessed feet
754
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:09,791
I shall place them
on the lotus seat of my heart
755
01:26:09,916 --> 01:26:13,920
What do I care
for worldly wealth?
756
01:26:14,712 --> 01:26:16,881
Alms, good mother.
757
01:26:29,685 --> 01:26:32,939
Bless you.
May you be a queen one day.
758
01:32:45,269 --> 01:32:47,605
Just what were you thinking?
759
01:32:49,273 --> 01:32:51,942
How long would this
have gone on?
760
01:32:52,109 --> 01:32:55,905
We see each other every day.
You could have said something.
761
01:32:56,030 --> 01:32:58,115
Are we such strangers?
762
01:32:58,491 --> 01:33:00,242
What can I do?
763
01:33:00,743 --> 01:33:04,914
Every day
I think there'll be news.
764
01:33:07,416 --> 01:33:09,668
It's never been like this before.
765
01:33:10,127 --> 01:33:12,213
It's been five months.
766
01:33:12,505 --> 01:33:15,007
Not a letter, not a word.
767
01:33:15,633 --> 01:33:17,551
Send Durga with me.
768
01:33:17,676 --> 01:33:20,554
I'll give her something
to tide you over.
769
01:33:20,679 --> 01:33:22,306
Take this.
770
01:33:24,266 --> 01:33:27,144
Don't be childish.
- I can't.
771
01:33:27,436 --> 01:33:29,897
Then I'll leave it there.
772
01:33:31,106 --> 01:33:32,650
Let go!
773
01:33:32,817 --> 01:33:36,111
I still have the brass vessels
from my wedding!
774
01:33:59,134 --> 01:34:01,846
A letter!
775
01:34:17,820 --> 01:34:20,155
"To Mrs. Sarbajaya Devi."
776
01:34:22,741 --> 01:34:26,120
I haven't been able to write
for four months.
777
01:34:26,245 --> 01:34:30,374
You must be worried.
In any case, I have good news.
778
01:34:30,541 --> 01:34:33,043
I found a way
to earn some money.
779
01:34:33,168 --> 01:34:35,379
I'll return home soon.
780
01:34:35,588 --> 01:34:38,215
It seems our luck has turned.
781
01:34:38,382 --> 01:34:41,176
Whatever God ordains
is for the best.
782
01:37:33,057 --> 01:37:35,142
Holy pond and flower garland,
783
01:37:35,267 --> 01:37:37,686
who worships here
in the noonday sun?
784
01:37:38,645 --> 01:37:42,608
It is I, Leelavati, a maiden pure,
sister of my brothers.
785
01:38:08,092 --> 01:38:10,302
May my sons be numberless,
786
01:38:10,427 --> 01:38:12,888
and may I die
by the holy Ganges.
787
01:38:18,018 --> 01:38:20,771
Mother Goddess, counsel me.
788
01:38:20,896 --> 01:38:24,233
I know not how to pray.
789
01:38:24,358 --> 01:38:27,152
Grant me this blessing.
790
01:41:03,058 --> 01:41:05,143
By leaf of lime
791
01:41:05,269 --> 01:41:07,062
and karamcha tree,
792
01:41:07,229 --> 01:41:09,940
rain, rain, away with thee!
793
01:41:48,603 --> 01:41:52,524
Rain, rain, away with thee!
794
01:42:06,705 --> 01:42:08,707
Show me your tongue.
795
01:42:17,924 --> 01:42:19,926
Any word from Harihar?
796
01:42:20,385 --> 01:42:23,972
He wrote
that he'd be back this month.
797
01:42:24,514 --> 01:42:26,558
Why does he wander so much?
798
01:42:26,683 --> 01:42:29,227
You have any sago?
799
01:42:30,312 --> 01:42:33,357
I can give you some.
Just send Apu over.
800
01:42:33,690 --> 01:42:37,486
Give her that,
and if her fever goes up,
801
01:42:37,611 --> 01:42:39,654
place a damp cloth
on her forehead.
802
01:42:40,322 --> 01:42:42,366
No cause for alarm.
803
01:42:42,824 --> 01:42:44,993
Just don't let her catch a chill.
804
01:42:45,160 --> 01:42:47,245
Nilmoni, let's go.
805
01:42:50,374 --> 01:42:52,584
What do you think, Doctor?
806
01:42:52,709 --> 01:42:54,294
Come close.
807
01:42:55,170 --> 01:42:56,713
What?
808
01:42:56,838 --> 01:43:01,093
We'll go see the train
when I'm better, all right?
809
01:43:01,802 --> 01:43:04,888
We'll get there early
and have a good look.
810
01:43:05,013 --> 01:43:06,973
You want to?
811
01:47:56,346 --> 01:47:59,516
Hush. Don't be afraid.
812
01:48:20,954 --> 01:48:22,497
I'm coming!
813
01:48:25,041 --> 01:48:26,251
What is it?
814
01:48:26,376 --> 01:48:28,962
Didi is worse.
Mommy says to come.
815
01:48:30,672 --> 01:48:32,006
I see.
816
01:48:32,882 --> 01:48:36,594
Bini, sweep the yard.
I'll be back soon.
817
01:48:36,720 --> 01:48:38,012
Let's go.
818
01:49:20,805 --> 01:49:23,349
Go get my husband, will you?
819
01:49:23,641 --> 01:49:25,769
Tell him I said to come.
820
01:49:28,146 --> 01:49:31,274
- Is Didi asleep?
- Yes. Now run along.
821
01:49:31,399 --> 01:49:33,526
That's a good boy.
822
01:52:26,616 --> 01:52:28,117
Auntie?
823
01:52:40,338 --> 01:52:42,090
Auntie?
824
01:52:44,801 --> 01:52:47,261
Mother sent these for you.
825
01:52:47,887 --> 01:52:49,847
I'll set them here.
826
01:53:38,771 --> 01:53:43,026
Couldn't it have waited
a bit longer?
827
01:54:48,716 --> 01:54:50,384
Khoka!
828
01:54:50,885 --> 01:54:52,428
Durga!
829
01:54:54,931 --> 01:54:57,100
Ah, you're home.
830
01:54:57,433 --> 01:54:59,018
Come.
831
01:55:15,952 --> 01:55:17,787
How are you?
832
01:55:26,921 --> 01:55:30,800
I take it the children
are out running around?
833
01:55:51,195 --> 01:55:53,406
Where are you going?
834
01:55:54,991 --> 01:55:57,618
Come see
the presents I brought.
835
01:55:57,743 --> 01:56:00,621
I'd have come home earlier
if I could.
836
01:56:00,955 --> 01:56:03,833
My luck finally turned
at Ranaghat.
837
01:56:04,000 --> 01:56:07,503
Made all the running around
worth it.
838
01:56:07,670 --> 01:56:09,922
This is from the chadak festival.
839
01:56:10,047 --> 01:56:12,049
Made out of jackfruit wood.
840
01:56:15,052 --> 01:56:18,264
And you wanted an image
of the goddess Lakshmi.
841
01:56:18,389 --> 01:56:20,808
I had it framed in glass.
842
01:56:21,684 --> 01:56:24,187
And this is for Durga.
843
01:56:24,437 --> 01:56:27,440
A new sari. Look.
844
01:56:28,816 --> 01:56:31,360
No need to worry anymore.
I'm back now.
845
01:58:09,625 --> 01:58:12,795
Khoka, take the things
off the shelves and put them
846
01:58:12,920 --> 01:58:14,672
on the bench.
847
01:58:14,797 --> 01:58:17,550
You know, this past year
848
01:58:17,675 --> 01:58:21,095
I've lost all attachment
to this ancestral home.
849
01:58:21,637 --> 01:58:25,641
If it weren't for you
and your husband,
850
01:58:26,183 --> 01:58:28,394
I don't know
what we'd have done.
851
01:58:28,519 --> 01:58:30,313
Not at all.
852
01:58:30,438 --> 01:58:34,191
How much good was our help
if we couldn't keep you here?
853
01:58:34,317 --> 01:58:37,278
That's not your fault.
It's our fate.
854
01:58:37,486 --> 01:58:42,325
Other people live
happy and peaceful lives here.
855
01:58:42,700 --> 01:58:47,163
Well, I hope you're happy
in your new home.
856
01:58:47,288 --> 01:58:48,873
Sarbajaya?
857
01:58:48,998 --> 01:58:50,499
Come in.
858
01:58:52,501 --> 01:58:55,838
You can sit on this.
- No need for that.
859
01:58:56,672 --> 01:58:59,091
These mangoes fell down
in the storm.
860
01:58:59,216 --> 01:59:02,011
I thought you could use them
for your trip.
861
01:59:02,136 --> 01:59:05,139
- You went to all that trouble?
- I's nothing.
862
01:59:05,306 --> 01:59:07,850
I've never given you anything.
863
01:59:08,017 --> 01:59:12,897
What are a few mangoes?
So you're really leaving tomorrow?
864
01:59:13,230 --> 01:59:14,357
Yes.
865
01:59:14,690 --> 01:59:17,860
You're probably angry
I didn't mention it before.
866
01:59:17,985 --> 01:59:20,071
Why should I be angry?
867
01:59:20,237 --> 01:59:23,908
I was very happy for you
when I heard.
868
01:59:24,992 --> 01:59:30,039
Rotting away in one place
year after year
869
01:59:30,164 --> 01:59:32,541
does no one any good.
870
01:59:33,292 --> 01:59:35,878
It makes a person
petty and mean.
871
01:59:36,045 --> 01:59:38,672
That's what it's done to me.
872
01:59:41,384 --> 01:59:44,887
Perhaps I'll go
on a pilgrimage to Chandranath.
873
01:59:45,012 --> 01:59:47,223
I'll see what my husband says.
874
01:59:47,473 --> 01:59:49,058
Khoka!
875
01:59:59,193 --> 02:00:02,488
Don't trouble yourself
on our account.
876
02:00:02,655 --> 02:00:04,865
Please sit down.
877
02:00:16,752 --> 02:00:19,422
I've been confined to bed
878
02:00:19,547 --> 02:00:22,383
for a month and a half
from indigestion,
879
02:00:22,758 --> 02:00:26,095
so I couldn't come see you.
880
02:00:27,096 --> 02:00:29,807
Chakravarti tells me...
881
02:00:31,100 --> 02:00:34,311
you're moving to Benares.
- That's right.
882
02:00:34,603 --> 02:00:37,398
We're leaving tomorrow at dawn.
883
02:00:40,192 --> 02:00:42,528
You're leaving tomorrow?
884
02:00:46,699 --> 02:00:48,492
Harihar...
885
02:00:49,243 --> 02:00:51,662
are you doing the right thing?
886
02:00:52,163 --> 02:00:54,874
You're Rajkeshto's son,
887
02:00:55,207 --> 02:00:57,793
Tarkalankar's grandson.
888
02:00:58,169 --> 02:01:01,464
Your family has lived here
for three generations.
889
02:01:01,797 --> 02:01:04,592
We village elders
are still around.
890
02:01:04,758 --> 02:01:08,387
You could have
discussed it with us.
891
02:01:08,512 --> 02:01:10,973
What good
would that have done?
892
02:01:11,348 --> 02:01:13,309
Look at the house.
893
02:01:13,476 --> 02:01:16,228
I have no means to repair it.
894
02:01:16,479 --> 02:01:20,316
Perhaps with your help
I'd have raised some money,
895
02:01:20,900 --> 02:01:23,360
but how long can this go on?
896
02:01:23,486 --> 02:01:27,114
It's been a long time...
almost 15 years...
897
02:01:27,490 --> 02:01:30,409
and I still haven't
paid back your loans.
898
02:01:30,534 --> 02:01:34,705
Maybe I can pay them off
by selling a few of these things.
899
02:01:34,830 --> 02:01:37,333
All my plans came to nothing.
900
02:01:38,667 --> 02:01:40,794
I wanted to be a writer.
901
02:01:41,212 --> 02:01:43,506
Look at these.
Eaten up by woodworms.
902
02:01:43,797 --> 02:01:46,926
I hoped to educate my boy.
That came to nothing.
903
02:01:47,051 --> 02:01:50,471
And my little girl slipped away.
904
02:01:53,098 --> 02:01:57,728
It's best to go. Sometimes one
must leave one's ancestral home.
905
02:01:57,853 --> 02:02:00,773
At least in the city
I can scrape by
906
02:02:01,232 --> 02:02:04,235
reciting scriptures and narrating tales.
907
02:02:04,944 --> 02:02:09,114
But you'll be back sometime, right?
908
02:04:49,817 --> 02:04:54,571
THE END
