Original subtitles

These are evil times.

Instead of burning themselves on the funeral ...

pyre of their husbands,

the widows are eating foods forbidden to them

and live a comfortable life.

Society is going to the dogs.

And you, instead of retiring to the forest ...

You've at this age, married for thirteenth time

That's how I've saved a thirty women....

from the cardinal sin of remaining spinsters

Look at fathers who allow their teenage girls

to remain unwed

They will burn in the eternal fire of hells.

But how can they find grooms of their own sect..

among three classes and thirty-six sects..

of high

That's their problem, not mine.

Marry they must. Even to dying old men or infant boys.

Daughter-in-law. Go to hell.

God knows why King Ballal Sen divided us brahmins ...

into so many sects and groups

Castes yes, but why sub-castes

You can't mow down high and low classes like grass.

How can everyone be equal? You are stupid..

Let me tell you.

Damn with your Ballal Sen and his dictates.

How dare you ?

I'll have you made an outcast, you silly ass !

No, no, don't cry, don't cry. Keep quiet.

You have to grow up, be strong, join the army

You'll bring me so much pleasure and comfort

Good God !

Look who is here.

How old is your son?

Your Ladyship, he is not my son, He is my husband

Husband! Oh, you must be very high caste Brahmins,

She's very lucky, Your Ladyship

When her husband will be twelve, he'll sleep next to her

Mine has one foot in the grave but he won't even.

He'll be a handsome husband,

when he grows up.

Don't cry. Why are you crying? Don't cry.

Lucky you to get a gold coin.

Me

Look at the Mukherjee's girl !

Or else, does one get such a handsome husband at that age?

You aren't coming to the wedding ?

She's the only daughter of the rich landlord

Why they should invite poor me ?

Don't cry. Husbands are not supposed to cry.

Hey, complete the work quickly.

Hey, delaying it wouldn't work. Complete our work first.

There will be a huge delay in work.

Yes, yes. It is going to take time.

Hey, don't cut such thick slices of that.

Yes. Let me see it now. Yes. That is right.

Hey, what do you think? - Yes, I think you are right.

Hey, a lot of work is left. Work quickly.

Hey, hold this. - I won't hold it.

Keep quiet now. Don't talk too much.

Hey, call me when you are done. - Yes.

Make it fast. Come on, work faster. - Come on. Work faster. Hey! Move it in circles.

Pundu, come here a moment

With my bulk, I can't keep getting up.

I can't come. I've no time.

Hey, come here. Cut thick slices of this. - Hey, work faster.

Shame on you! - Oh God.

A widow mustn't suck blood, even if it's her own.

Shailo ! Get some marigold leaves..

and put some of its juice on her finger

Oh mother. - Hey, work faster. Come on.

Look at this Chandrakala ! of ours,

Crying because she has a little cut on her finger.

Don't forget my girl, you've been born a woman

Besides, you brought ill luck to your husband, so he died.

Now, get a move on.

Hey, how much is left? - Quite a bit.

Hey, mother. Work faster. - Come on.

Hey, you think it wouldn't suffice? - Yes.

Hey, make it quick. Don't delay anymore.

It's that tigress Amodini ? Wedding don't you know ?

Don't take all day.

Hey, come on, work faster. - Come on.

Pundu !

What do you want? - Listen to me. - I don't even have time to die.

Before you die get another barrel of oil from the mistress

Or else I won't be able to try this fish

All these good-for-nothings just hang around

the vegetarian kitchen to sniff out the window !

Okay okay, I'll get it.

They are too much!

You idiot, falling on top of girls ! Where've you been ?

Go and search something for Amodini and do it now

Let go of my ear Or I won't do a thing.

Tell me then !

Don't you know she's getting married tonight ?

That's what I'm working for. I must get oil for frying fish

Let it be. - Leave me.

To hell with the fish, Come with me now.

Get up ! How'll you get married otherwise ?

Stupid woman ! Don't I tell you my tongue is itching.

I have to have "myrobolan" at once !

Pundu, go and get one. You know the tree.

You climb this tree ever so often

I can't. I have to look out for a barrel of oil

Don't be adamant now.

I'll kill you if you don't bring it this minute,

You low-born skunk

Okay, I'll go but don't call me low-born.

I am a high-caste Brahmin.

You are servant in this house,

don't forget high caste Brahmin.

You think you're of a higher caste than me ?

Don't forget, they took 20 years to get me a suitable groom

What're you doing here, "Moti" Mother !

You are wanted dawnstrairs.

Amod. Amod.

Mother. Pundu refuses to get me myrobolan.

Pundu, what're you doing, sneaking into the women's quarters ?

You're no longer a kid

You can't come into the ladies bedrooms

Amod, why are you still in bed ?

Does one have to remind you that you're getting married today

Everything will be alright, don't worry, Mother mine.

Don't I do all the work to get father and you married ?

and now you're scolding me so much..

How ungrateful, step-mother !

What a spoilt daughter. Pundu are you going or not ?

Why are you treating this poor orphan so badly ?

I have always hit him, why should I stop now ?

What shall I do with this girl ?

My Lord, You always win in the end.

You waited 10 years

but found just the right groom...

Amodini, she waited too.

What do you say, priest?

That is right. - "Friend."

If I had followed your advice...

I'd have had to marry her off to some doddering old foot

She would have been a widow in no time.

Or some pauper with fifty wives would come ...

to see her once a year and to collect money from me

for that privilege

I would not have given my only daughter to any of those.

Priest.

After my wife's visit to many temples,

we were blessed with this girl

Since then, I've remarried several times..

but I never got a child

Let's see what happens this time

Shall I ever be blessed with a son ?

By God's grace, you will in a short time

You have to wait for some more days.

Our queen will save your lineage for sure.

Sure. Sure.

What Pandit predicted will definitely happen

When the lord of Sonagidhi was well off

He rejected our offer, not once but twice. Mr. Ghatak?

Oh no, what was that? No, that might happen.

After all, is not a hereditary landlord like me.

They merely have wealth, right?

What is it

Fan it properly.

Only till the time he is there, the wealth and show off will go on. - Yes.

What will Indranath get when he dies?

Now look.

He has lost a fortune fighting the "raiders."

from Maharashtra he is he's ready to listen to us

Or else, he was so scared, right?

Hey, no.

Hey, the tobacco is over. Hey, is someone here? Change the tobacco. Change it.

Of cource he still wants a lot that can not be helped.

After all, we are top class Brahmins

We can't sacrifice the family's honour.

I have been there myself and made up for our old enmity.

The hatchet is buried at last. I have buried the hatchet and did away with all the enmity.

What is it, Mr. Accountant? What is the news?

Your seal, my lord ... wedding expenses.

Okay, fine. Fine.

Yes.

But there was no option other than what happened.

Yes, yes.

How many high-caste girls are getting married ...

to a handsome young man !!

With only three wives - two of them dead,

Only three times.

And the one who's alive lives with her own parents

Yes. - This is absolutely wonderful.

The bridegroom's father had tried to repress the ...

Maratha raiders with the help of the Nawab.

But what use ?

It's the Emperor who's unleashed the raiders on us !

And now, these red-faced foreigners are so strong...

that Mughal forces can't cope with them.

This marriage will save Sonadighi's position.

Of course, sir called for a truce. - Yes.

This enmity between the two landlord families..

Will end in a truce.

The marriage will also save my honor

Yes. Hey, go a little down. Yes. A little down.

Come on. - Sir.

Everyone's busy with the wedding..

but this young Brahmin insists on seeing you.

Your Highness, they've taken away my daughter

Who has taken her away ?

Mr. Nayak. Mr. Nayak.

Send 6 men and get the girl rescued.

Go.

Yes, sir.

Do not worry, Your Highness..

This man belongs to another class of Brahmins.

Among them it is the brides father

who gets a hefty dowry.

That's why he is so upset

Otherwise who would be worried just one lost daughter ?

What's the use of recovering her anyway ?

Society will never accept her.

No, Your Highness. One scripture says that a woman taken away.

by force, can be rehabilited after purification.

But a woman who had been recently rescued

She preferred to live with her young foreign planter.

The new trend is that..

..that they have started settling with them. Let the wedding happen.

These famous weddings. I have to go see the Nawab.

These English planters are forcing my subjects ...

to plant indigo, from which they make no money

They don't earn any revenue from this. Foreigners are earning.

This way, even I will not be able to pay the Emperor.

From one side, there are the Maratha raiders,

They are going on robbing people anyway.

The Maratha raiders are not only plundering ...

but also take away their women

This is too much!

the raiders or the planters.

The poet Gangaram wrote on these raiders.

He's very talented, what does he say, this poet ?

This Gangaram.

"They cut off noses, ears, they take lives."

"They sieze every pretty woman and tie her with rope"

"... one after the other."

"Women are living in constant fear of being taken away"

That is done. That is done. Now those..

Whatever the planters have started now..

..women will fear even more

What shall I do today ?

No obscene poetry today, okay.

No, you don't have to.

Mr. Ghatak cannot speak anything other than poetry.

Why wouldn't I?

The poems of the famous poet are more courageous. - Yes.

I've written a poem on the English.

On the English? - Yes. Listen to me.

Yes. So sing it.

Yes, sing it. Sing it.

"Infinite are your wiles, O, you English, on horse-back."

"Infinite are your wiles, O, you English, on horse-back."

"You have foxed the French and the Dutch."

"You have foxed the French and the Dutch."

"And got the Portuguese and the Danes in your strong clutch."

"Infinite are your wiles, O, you English, on horse-back."

"O, you English, you cunning foreigners"

"O, you English, you cunning foreigners"

"With your cunning you have felled ..."

"the Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah."

"O, you English, cunning foreigners."

"O, you English, cunning foreigners."

"O, you English, cunning foreigners."

Amod. Hey, Amod.

Come on now, get up

What are you up to ?

Tell the bridegroom if he wants to marry Amodini

he'll have to come right here and take me away

A foreign planter kidnapped a Brahmin's daughter.

The father is crying at Raja Sahab's feet

Why doesn't some young foreign planter abduct me ?

There's a body on fire, for sure.

Amod, what's this, you still in bed ?

Whatever shall I do with this girl ?

Will there be a wedding or not ?

Get up, dear.

You can't do this...

It's inauspicious, get up, get ready now.

What have you girls been doing for so long ?

How can I manage everything alone.

Carrying a six month pregnancy.

You want me to get up ? Okay I will

After all, I must obey my step-mother.

Hey! Get on.

Now get on with it. There's heaps of work to do.

Come on. Come on.

Who knows, one day I may have to dress.

like an English merchant.

The Sonadighi bridegroom's procession has started coming out.

Lots of horses, palanquins, musicians, dancers ...

Did you speak to anyone ?

No, I watched from behind

I thought I'd rush back and give you the good news

Good thing you did that !!

It is a short way.

They will be here for sure.

Mother. - Shame on you, try to look a little shy,

Otherwise they'll think you're shameless creature.

I feel like being a courtesan.

Tell them I'll become the bridegroom's dancing girl.

It's her wedding day, see how she talks.

Will you remain quiet?

You're getting a husband like Lord Shiva himself.

and now of course you must act like a dancing girl.

But see how beautiful she looks.

Look at me.

Her beauty makes my heart melt.

just think what it will do to the young man.

Mother, one groom will not be enough for me.

Marry me to five like Draupadi in Mahabharat,

with her five young husbands.

It's taken long enough to get you one.

And you want five?

Oh my God.

What is this

The marriage is off !.

Marriage is off

What do you mean ?

It's not so easy to get round Sonadighi

Your only child-you could have given ...

all your land to bridegroom.

How dare you talk like this ?

But now this poor girl's life is ruined forever

This is wrong. Wrong. - Yes.

She must marry tonight- or never again. We must do something. - Yes.

What do you want ?

Indranath has gone elsewhere to get marry

He's there right now. They've gifted a lot of land.

Where's this wedding ?

That I'm not allowed to tell you.

King. King

Oh no. Oh no.

God, what an insult !

Where's my gun ! My horse !

Get Barkat Ali

It'll be a fight to finish this time -

Playing tricks with Amodini?

I will kill you.

I will teach a lesson.

Auntie Katu has asked you to come back home

Tell her, its impossible

Its very important. You must come.

Father, the old woman had left this with me when died.

He is the only possible groom for Amodini now.

I have found the 36 qualities. Look.

Let me see, dear. - Yes, look.

Your education has not been wasted, my daughter.

I taught you, you against everybody's advice.

And now you've justified it

We may be able to save the Rajah's prestige yet.

Come on. Come on. The fool is sleeping.

Get him. Come on. Pick him up. - Come on.

Hey, get up. Get up. - What is this? Leave me

Let me go. It is hurting. I haven't done anything.

Get him. Get him. - Oh no. I haven't done anything. Leave me.

Let me go. It is hurting. I haven't done anything.

Get him. Get him. - Oh no. I haven't done anything. Leave me.

Oh my God. What are you doing? Leave me.

Come with me. - Hey, leave me. Leave me.

Hey, leave me. She will hit me.

Hey, come on. - Leave me.

Sit down. Sit down. Make him wear the garland. Pundu. - Let go of me.

Sit quietly. - No. Please leave me.

Amod will beat me. I'm not marrying her.

I won't marry her. Let me go

Look at the fellow's luck. He'll be a rich man now.

And he wants to run away. Ungrateful wretch !

Lowly cheat. - Hey, it is Pundu.

You threw out everyone from the wedding night vigil

Ok, I'm married to him that doesn't mean

I will be that servant boy's wife.

How can you not let him into the room !

I shall scream if he enters my room.

I will go and tell your father. He'll do something about-this.

You don't know my father.

He'll kill the man with his gun.

Pundu. - Hey, Pundu.

Pundu, get up. - Get up, Pundu.

Wake up. - Wake up.

Its your wedding night and you're lying here in the dark ?

She's your wife. You have a right over her !

I don't want to go. - Now look at her.

Hey, get up. Get up. Fool. Come to the room.

No, your place is next to your just married wife.

She has gone round the "agni" with you.

She can't throw you out

O yes she can. - I'm not going to her.

Don't worry. We've fixed everything

There is no fear. - Yes.

She has sent everybody away. Amod is alone now.

Come on now, get up.

Come on. Get up. - Get up, come on.

Come on. Get up. - Get up, come on.

Come on. Get up. - Get up, come on.

Come on. Get up. - Get up, come on.

No, I don't want to go. - Come on. Come with me.

Come on. - Come on. Come on.

No, I don't want to go. - Come on. Come with me. Even we are here.

Your Highness, you've come at last.

You !!

You wretched servant ! You dare come into my room at night ?

At least look at my husband..

smeared with coal, all set to make love

Get out of here at once !

What ! You won't go ?

Wait. Wait. Where is it?

Where is it? Fool!

Well, how was it with your beautiful wife ?

You thought you would get rich overnight.

Become the heir, have a good time all your life.

Just wait and see.

Come on. We will thrash you hard. - Come with us.

Come with us. - We will teach you a lesson. Come on, fool.

Even I will teach her a lesson. I will come back here. Just wait here.

That was not a good thing to happen.

You should have prevented it.

You think I didn't try to ?

It's you who spoilt her so.

After all, he is her husband.

"Oh lord of my life ! Come and sit next to me."

How long will it take to reach Sutanuti ?

All of tonight, all of tomorrow day and night.

"Why did you leave me?"

"Hey, my Lord. Come and sit next to me. Hey, my Lord."

Would your Ladyship like to stop at the tank ?

Father says we've lost all because of the English

They won't allow the Landlords to rule over there land.

They are taking away all business from our people.

I don't know what will become of us.

Do you have any news of your husband ?

I heard he had gone to Sutanuti.

Since then there is no news.

God knows whether he's alive or dead.

Pundu, what are you doing there ?

Amod, I've told you not to chat with servant.

Pundu, I'll kill you, if I find you talking to her again.

Wait, wait, I will teach you a lesson.

Hey, Pundu. Pundu.

Hey, Pundu. Stop.

Stop. Stop. Pundu. Pundu! Where will you run off?

That last stepmother, I had is gone too !

Why was she so bent on having a child ?

You died.

And killed your son as well.

Only a step-mother can behave like that !

"If the Lord Krishna doesn't come"

"If the Lord Krishna doesn't come"

"Doesn't come to Braj."

"My friend. If Lord Krishna.."

"My life, even my death will go in vain,"

"My life, even my death will go in vain,"

"It is useless."

"My life, even my death will go in vain,"

"Lord Krishna."

"I will turn mendicant. I shall go wherever Krishna maybe"

"I will become detached from the world."

"I'll become a "jogan" and follow him everywhere."

"I will become detached from the world."

"Put on me the saffron robes of a nun"

"Put on me the saffron robes of a nun"

"Put on me the saffron robes of a nun"

"And I look out for my Krishna everywhere I go"

"Put on me the saffron robes of a nun"

"If I find the love of my life."

"I'll tie him to my veil and bring him back."

"My only love. I'll get him back. No one can oppose me."

"In the world of Krishna. I will get him back."

"And if anyone does, I'll kill myself."

"No one cares for the other."

"And it will be he who has killed me."

"They won't let me go"

"As they feel it will dishonour the family"

"But I'm my Krishna's Radha."

"And I've got all my rights on him."

Hail Lord. Hail Lord. - Hail Lord.

Hail Radha Govinda. - Hail Lord.

Hail Lord. Hail Lord. - Hail Lord.

Look, look for a minute.

Oh, this wicked woman. She's putting on an act of crying !

My husband's coming.

I know him well.

How did you know ?

A little bird told me

Don't you fall all over him play hard to get.

Really

Do play hard to get. Don't give him your youth so easily.

He has hurt you for so long. Don't you want revenge?

Come, I'll tell you a secret.

But afterwards you must come and tell what happened.

It's a pleasure to hear such gossip.

Is it a secret ?

There is a secret to everything.

Not like this. Come, I will whisper it your ears.

Your son-in-law has arrived.

Son Where is he? - There he is. There.

Get some water to wash his feet.

Wait. Wait. We will complete the formalities in peace.

Look, who is here. - Look. Son-in-law is here. Go.

Is your name Adyanath Banerjee ?

Yes.

My name is Adyanath Banerjee.

Did you marry your daughter ...

Purnashish, to me, Jimut Bahar Mukherjee.

..the fifth night after full moon night..

..in the year 742 during the Lakshman's era ?

Yes. Quickly bathe his feet.

No. Wait. First things first.

First of all, let's fix the rate.

Only then can you wash my feet. - Come with me, son-in-law.

How much do I pay ?

Eight annas for washing my feet.

What !!

Eight annas? - Wait.

Wait and listen.

A rupee for serving me food.

And three and a half rupees for spending the night with your daughter.

That's five rupees in all.

Five rupees

Listen. Listen.

Go to the jeweler and make arrangements.

Such a lot of money?

Go. Go quickly.

Where will I get so much money ?

If you don't pay there will be trouble

Can't you reduce your rates a bit ?

Good. Lets settle at three and a half rupees.

But provided you give it in advance, otherwise....

No, no, I'll do something.

Hey, is someone here?

Get some water. Get some water.

Welcome, son. Welcome.

Come. Come.

Sit down.

Sit down.

He has had a lot of trouble.

Wash his feet.

Wash his feet.

Wash his feet well, he must be tired.

I've married 165 wives.

On this journey I've spent the night with 16.

Of course I am tired.

Oh, how romantic !!!

Get me the bed price, quick.

But father has already paid it.

Yes, but it's not enough.

I have been going from in-law to in-law for a month.

During this time, I've slept with 16 women.

My body is not for free. I'm tired. I want more money.

But where will I get the money ?

I've seen lot's of wicked wenches like you; Get the money.

Are you joking ?

You think I'll play games with you with these cowrie shells ?

Lowly one!

"There must be no unfortunate woman like me.."

"God gave me happiness. And then snatched it away."

"Abandoned and alone."

"I count my days."

"Abandoned and alone."

"I count my days."

"My eyes are red with crying."

"With crying."

"Crying."

What happened then ?

He spent the night in the cowshed.

The mosquitoes have sucked him dry.

Look, who is he? Where has he come from

Hey, he is wearing imported clothes.

I have come from Calcutta.

Calcutta? But Calcutta is very far away.

I was born here. Left it on the day of my marriage.

I left it 10 years ago.

Are you Pundu?

Yes, I am Pundu. Pundarikaksha Mukhopadhyaya.

The son-in-law of Rajah's

Stop. Stop. Who has come ?

Pundu has come back.

I see. Pundu? He has come by palanquin.

Yes. - He looks like a king.

Looks like a king? He is the king's son-in-law.

Why did you take so much trouble ?

You could have easily sent for me.

My son, you know where we live ?

Since you did not come to see me, I had to come.

You have suffered so much insults.

You're now a big man.

You are entitled to revenge.

I am glad you are doing so much for the village.

Things that I can no longer do.

Take that my girl, its no longer mine.

She is very repentant. She's been, ever since you left.

Rajah Sahib, can broken glass be mended ?

Clean more on that side

The temple will be renamed after Pundu's mother.

He wants to take the Rajah Sahab's place.

But he is doing good to the village.

He's busy with his property.

Hey, come here.

Hey. I am telling you.

You are not working and only talking.

Will working on merely one side do?

When will the work that side get finished?

You have taken advance.

I am living in one room.

God knows when you will finish the whole house.

The old man hasn't died yet!

Take good care of him.

He has a good amount of land. When he dies...

One can burn you alive with him,

That is rubbish.

Only if an Englishman doesn't save you.

Why don't you die?

Yes, I was called you for a certain reason.

Yes.

Of course. That is why we have been thinking for some time.

You are from Kolkata and know a lot. You can do something about it.

That is right. That is right.

I'm thinking of setting up some handlooms

Handlooms?

You want to set up handlooms?

There's no money to buy yarn. And who'll buy the cloth ?

The English in Calcutta will buy.

They buy the cloths from here and take it away ...

by sea to their own country.

How long does the ship take to reach ?

Oh ! about two months.

Those are big ships.

There is news of some change in the policy ...

buy only cotton from us

and send us cloth made by them.

But that will take time.

No, no, there is nothing to worry about.

Meanwhile we can make some money.

Where is that rascal Clive ?

Good God ! What's this

That's the ghost of Siraj-ud-Daulah.

It passes by from here on horse-back every evening.

You were talking about making some money.

Both are going to benefit from it.

what I was saying about the plans of the British.

will take some time.

When the English will stop buying ?

What will happen then? - That is right.

That can be done. Silk is our own thing.

We could discuss this with Rajah Sahab.

Yes, true. - That is right.

Oh yes, I guess so.

Yes, yes. - We must discuss this with him.

Yes. Yes. We can discuss with him. - We can.

Hail Lord.

Come on. Let us leave.

Come on. We will leave. - Come on. Let us leave.

Come on. We will leave. - Come on. Let us leave.

Is this the pace at which you will work?

You think it is easy.

Work hasn't progressed much.

All you can do is ask for money.

Having fun? Finish this work quickly.

Does it take a year to make a pond? Get more men.

You Has Rajah Sahib sent you ?

No ! I came here on my own.

Yes. Now I am a rich man.

Oh Lord..

So you are pregnant?

Today, I will teach you a lesson, witch.

Who are you? - I am in this condition because of you.

What is this? Why are you thrashing me

This is trouble. What is wrong with you?

Why are you beating me?

So should I spare you and worship you?

Lowly creature, I am in this condition because of you.

Leave me. Why are you beating me?

Beating me in my own house !!

I will kill you.

You cheap woman!

Wait and watch.

I'm going to beat you like plaster.

I'll skin you alive, you bitch !

You are beating me since a long time.

Now I will teach you a lesson.

And you, you wretched woman! I'll pull your eyes out.

And you, you wretched woman! I'll pull your eyes out.

What kind of a woman are you? I will pull your hair out!

What do you say now?

Who are you? - Co-wife.

What did you say? - Co-wife.

Help! Help!

Save me from this monster, before I succumb ...

Unfortunate that I was always..

What will happen to me? Come and take a look.

I still am even more so.

Sister, you are my only hope.

Why

It's been 10 years since my husband left me..

just after my marriage..

In these 10 years, poverty has struck my house, sister.

We have lost all the wealth that we had.

My step-mother took care of me...

but she too died in child-birth.

my father lost all he had, in the famine.

I have no one, nothing

Don't cry, please. Tell me everything.

To suffer is but the fate of woman.

Your husband left me.

He married you and then threw you away

And then...

Save me. You are my only hope.

Don't cry. Everything will be all right.

Everything will be alright. Don't cry.

Here, keep these 7 rupees.

These are Arcot coins made in Madras by the English.

And then, Sitaram. How much for you?

Five rupees - Five rupees

I must have the cloth in a month's time.

Those who won't do will be taught a lesson.

If anyone misuses the advance, I will kill you.

Those who will take an advance next time enter your names.

What is your name?

Give it to me.

You've never prepared the PAAN by yourself.

I have servants to do that.

I've never had the need to do anything by myself.

Can you teach me?

Work is not progressing. Nothing can happen if I am not there. What do you think?

What is happening here?

Hey, why are you throwing the mud here?

Throw it that side. If I am not here, no work will be done.

I cannot tolerate this.

I have to do everything on my own.

Hey, come and show it to me.

I have to do everything on my own.

Or else..

Hey, why are you standing here?

Here I am, sir.

I have come to the village after so long.

I thought I will make the temple alright.

And swim in the pond.

But because of them, nothing will happen.

One man alone.

Where should I go?

What should I do? There is no one to support me.

What do I do? Hey, what are these boys doing?

Hey. Let us swim. - Hey, this is trouble.

Hey, kids. Do you think this is a place to play?

We are making a pond here.

You are putting the water out.

This is such a lot of trouble.

Hey, will you stop or not?

Hey. Leave me. - Hey, come on. Have fun.

Hey. Leave me. - Hey, come on. Have fun.

I am coming, sir. - Hey, let go of me.

Do you know? I was bad tempered. I used to beat him so often ..

Whom

Before or after marriage?

Both before and after.

That cut on his forehead....

I threw a silver pot at his head.

My God ! You are a monster !

I'm no longer like that now.
