"Listen, my beloved."

"Listen, my beloved."

"Listen, my beloved."

"At the river bank, there is a village."

"Once there was such a storm."

"That the shade of the banyan tree was lost."

"Listen, joy and sorrow are a part of life."

'This is where Laholi begins.'

'It is a small village of 100-150 fields.'

'People here are quite nave. They lead a simple life.'

'Today in the lap of Manjira, the water jumps like a naughty child.'

'The fields are lush.'

'But a few years ago, it was barren.'

'Along with the waters of Manjira the violent sun

had converted the happiness of the villagers into steam.'

'People first sold their vessels, then their jewellery.'

'Ultimately, it was time they relinquished their houses, and their lands.'

'Boons were sought at temples.'

'In the church, people prayed vehemently."

'But no god bothered to bless them with rain.'

'Only one hand came forward. The hand of the feudal lady.'

'Not just one, she stretched forth both her hands.'

If she gave with one hand, she took with the other.'

'Villagers would mortgage their homes and fields to her to make ends meet.'

She amassed the entire village's wealth'

Only then, did god open his eyes.'

'Then once again, the clouds gathered, and it rained.'

'Manjira was filled with waves and the fields were lush once again.'

'But bad luck still prevailed.'

'Nobody could be free from debt.'

'No festival is celebrated in the village now.'

'People crave for sweets during marriages.'

'And god craves for offerings at the temple.'

'Only the Lady gets the offering.'

Baaje!

'He is Baaje, alias Baj Bahadur.'

The Lady's only brother. And her only living relative.'

- Do it properly. - 'He doesn't work he only plays tricks.'

'At times even Leelaram is fooled.'

'But he is proud of the fact

that he is the only person in the village who has ever been to a college.'

(Laughs)

'But his studies weren't of much use.'

'He couldn't get a job. It's not that he didn't get a chance.'

'But, when he did, he let the opportunity slip by.'

We've come here to record the census.

You're the only educated person in this village.

So we give you this job.

What will I've to do?

Ask all the women about their family members.

Whether they are married, and how many kids they have.

You've to get me their response along with the house number.

- That's it. - Fine.

(Door creaks)

- What happened? - I've to ask you some questions.

- Are you married? - No.

- No. How many children do you have? - Shameless!

Stupid! You should have first inquired about the number of kids.

(Door creaks)

Greetings!

I've to ask you some questions for the purpose of census.

- Do you have children? - Yes.

- How many? - 6!

- 6! Are you married? - Shameless!

'So, when he was unsuccessful in acquiring a white collar job

he got into the lottery business.

'To earn a living.'

'The second special person of the village is Balwant.'

'Balwant has magic.'

'Out of 20 cows that he has, 18 are mortgaged with the head's wife.'

'Some jealous people say

that he sells more water and less milk.'

'But nobody has the courage to say that on his face.

That's because, Balwant is famous for his bravery.'

'It was something like this.'

What happened?

- Help! - Are you fools?

- Why did you let the child go so close to the well? - Help!

- Father! - Throw the rope!

(Wheel rattling)

Father!

(Wheel rattling)

Pull!

Use your strength, you fools!

(Balwant grunts)

Hail Ballu!

Who pushed me?

'Whoever it is.'

'But there is one person in this village who loathes Balwant.'

'And he is Kanhaiya.'

'In spite of hating him he is Balwant's servant. And he works for free

and endures his abuses. Why?'

'Because that's how he can meet Sukhmani, his love.

'Let's see their story.'

- Last night the village head divided Chaudhary's house. - Yes.

- Guess it was the right thing. - Yes.

- But where were you? - I'd gone to Satpur,

to sell the lottery ticket.

Left early in the morning and reached home late at night.

- So your business is flourishing! - Stop kidding!

Selling lottery tickets is not very lucrative, Ballu.

It's only when somebody wins that I get a 10 percent. commission.

Otherwise, it's nothing to rave about.

- Last year, Birju, the blacksmith won 500 rupees. - Yes.

That's when I got a commission of 50 rupees.

That's it. Nothing since then.

It's your business that is good.

If you can't earn by selling the milk,

you can at least have it. (Laughs)

- You are the luckiest one! - How?

A human being is never going to stop chasing his destiny

and so, your shop won't shut.

People will keep buying them, hoping to win sometime.

- This queue isn't moving. - Look at that.

The witch on the scooter? Bloody jewellery shop!

(Engine purrs)

Stop! Where are you going?

(Pot shatters)

- Laxman! - Yes.

Who told you to give water to this cursed female?

She hasn't repaid her loan for the last 3 months.

- I'm pregnant. - Go abort it then.

Go, work and repay me.

She is a wicked woman!

Yes, the cursed lady.

- Where were you since the past 3 days? - I.. father!

Father!

Come here! Come!

I work hard to get the water for you to waste it?

Why don't you answer me! Were you stung by a snake?

Is there a treasure buried in the ground?

- Get 3 packs of cotton from Sukhmani. - Okay.

(Door creaks)

- Sukhi, come down. - What happened?

- Give me a kiss! - What are you doing? Father's outside!

Father! He told me to take it!

What? Father said it? Not possible! Go away!

Will you agree if he says it?

Hang on, then. Sir!

- What are you doing? - Shall I take it from Sukhmani?

Move!

I told you, didn't I? Why are you asking?

Saw that!

She refuses.

- Father, did you say that? - Yes!

- Really? - What's so great about it that you ask?

Saw that! Now come on! Hurry up.

- One more! - No, go away.

Sir, Sukhmani gave me just one!

Why are you being so stingy? Is it gold, or silver?

Give it! Hurry up!

- One more! - No you go now.

Fine, I'll ask once more!

Tell me how did you coax father?

Stop asking silly questions.

Scoundrel! Idiot!

- And you shameless! - But you had said so.

I asked you to give him cotton, and you'd give him a kiss?

Wait, idiot! Penniless nincompoop. Flirting with my daughter?

- Why are you running? - You run too.

- Ballu is after me with a knife. - Why?

He has gone mad!

I'll handle the son later! Let me strangulate the father first.

I don't have the cash to buy betel leaf how can I repay your 1000 bucks?

And what is the use of running?

You pig, if I sell your empty skull to the black magic fellow in the graveyard

then I'll get 2000 rupees. I'll at least recover some money.

Scoundrel! Do you sell milk or water?

You are a filthy man!

My Kanha has been serving you since so long and what do you give him?

You are a thief! A wicked man!

I pray to god that your cow starts giving water instead of milk

and that you drown in that water!

You think you're the king if you're on an elephant?

Come down! You idiot!

You would climb down, right?

That day will be the last day of your life!

(Bheema laughs) - You bat! - Don't shout.

When elephants walk dogs do bark!

Make way for her. Move on..

Let's go, my dear!

Doesn't have the cash to repay and has

kept a caretaker for the elephant.

The complainant is Sutar Govind, the carpenter from Satpur

and the accuser is Gullu from Laholi.

Gullu and Rani met in the market, and love blossomed.

Gulu promised marriage to Rani.

Rani is pregnant now. And Gulu refuses to marry her.

We only wish that Gullu marries Rani.

Impossible! I don't want to have an illegitimate child.

Keep quiet. Let the committee do their job.

What is the proof that Gulu has fathered Rani's child?

Proof? Where do we get that from?

- My daughter is saying the truth. - Yes.

- In matters like these, a woman's word is the written truth. - Wow!

Man you are truly crucified.

Henceforth, any girl can point fingers at studs like me ruin their lives

by marrying her.

Silence!

Your daughter's words cannot force Gullu to marry her.

- The village committee is dismissed. -C'mon! You're saved!

What? Is this what you call justice?

That is my decision! And my decision is the committee's decision.

Well, then listen to us.

We'll get them married on the next full moon night.

Would be better for Gullu to get married.

Otherwise we'll kill him.

Kill him if you are a man!

No one should come to Satpur from Laholi.

You hear me too. If anybody from Satpur comes here,

- we'll kill everyone. - Move on. We'll see what you can do.

- C'mon! - I'll thrash all of you with the shoes!

You scoundrels!

Let's go. Let's see what they do.

- One glass, please. - Sure.

People drink tea during the day and you drink alcohol!

This intoxication has ruined everything.

Time for you to realize. Think of your lovely past.

Even the Lady was jealous of you!

No wife nor children.

What will I do by saving?

And then, why do you worry?

Do I take money from your dad?

- Get to work. - Yes.

Stop!

Can't you see, blind man.

He's drenched you completely.

Go clean yourself in that bathroom.

Give her water. Go and have a wash.

And that scoundrel I'll bash him.

Can't see people walking on the road.

(Door creaks)

One tea, please.

Come!

- Wait! - Me!

Scoundrels!

- I'm leaving, Tara. - Not a single food grain in the house, but do you care?

Just take your umbrella and leave.

- There is water at home, right? - Yes, plenty!

Shall I drown in that?

There was a dearth of water once, right?

and now that we've it, you don't seem to value it.

Make all kinds of food with water.

We'll have everything made of water.

Should I give water to Gattu too?

He is my only child, but you're beyond caring!

- Do give him a thought once in a while. - Why yell at me?

Pray to god.

Pray that somebody wins about 2000-3000 bucks in the lottery.

That would fetch me a couple of hundreds.

Doesn't matter if we don't eat but your Gattu sure won't starve!

My son is a burden on me!

Leela! Look, I've won a lottery.

- All the words match. Have a look. - Not words, it's numbers, you ass!

This is 666.

Actually 999 in English. It's wrong.

It'll be right if we turn it.

The number would change if we do that, you fool!

- Take! - How's that?

If I hang myself upside down on the tree I'd be the same person, won't I?

How can the words change, then?

You are the biggest illiterate.

You don't seem to understand what I trying to explain.

You've not won the prize and then, this is last month's ticket!

How many times have I told you to tear and throw away the old ticket?

Fool! Reverse the number!

No one can change by changing forms.

'On behalf of Malamaal lottery, I welcome you all.'

- 'We're back to awaken your sleeping destiny.' - Get me a tea, Pandey.

This lottery is useless!

Which number appears, and which one disappears,

this is definitely not my cup of tea!

You are the only one who knows everything!

And now, time for the bumper prize.

The first prize of 'Malamaal Lottery' is 10 million.

And the winning number is PA 13765.

Take the tea. What happened? Did anybody win?

No. Nobody got it.

- Your tea.. - No!

Come on!

You are a dirty child. You don't want to take a bath!

Tara!

Tara!

Get water. (Panting)

Here. What happened? Are you fine?

- Give me more. - What happened? Tell me.

I'll tell you.

Come here.

I'll let you on to a secret.

- Don't you let anybody know! - What?

The lottery ticket I'd sold last week

well, somebody has won the first prize. First prize.

Really?

- Who is the lucky one? - I don't know.

No one does.

And if I don't write this number on the board, nobody would know.

- Go on write. - No.

I won't write.

Just imagine! So much money!

What if we get the whole prize?

How's it possible?

How can somebody else's wealth be ours?

It is not somebody else's wealth. It is ours!

If I had not sold the ticket how would he purchase it?

He bought it because I sold it.

Why did he buy the pumpkin?

And do you know what the prize is?

10 million.

Oh god! That much cash!

Quiet!

We've to grab the money before anybody knows about it. Understood?

How's that?

I've an idea.

Nobody has won a lottery in this village in the past one year.

To lift the spirit of the villagers I'll invite them for a feast.

The one to show the ticket would eat.

And the one who doesn't, gets nothing.

- Where's the money for that? - It's not there.

But there is a way. Don't you get angry now.

Well, whatever I'm doing, is for our own good.

- Yes. - If we call about 100-125 people for the feast the expense

would be about 800-1000 rupees.

- Right? - Yes.

- But, is there anything left in our house to sell? - No.

There is.. but don't you be angry.

Go on say it.

What if we mortgaged our Gattu to that wicked woman?

No. Never! I don't want any money.

I can't sell my child.

Do you have a stone for a heart?

How can you even think like that?

- You think I don't love my Gattu? - No, you don't.

You wouldn't have said this if you did.

It's just a matter of a few days.

We will mortgage Gattu today organize the feast tomorrow

and by the day after, we'll receive the cash.

And after that, Gattu will once again play in your lap.

And I'm mortgaging him for his own good.

It's not a time to cry, but to think. Think about it.

Think about it.

What should I do with this? Act on the streets? You keep it.

I'm famished, ma'am.

I don't get an opportunity to play it now.

- Give me whatever you want. - Give him 5 rupees.

Feast? In our village!

- You must be joking. - The whole village knows about it except you.

But where did uncle Leela get so much money?

- Did he rob somebody? - I don't know.

- Isn't your father invited? - No.

- Did he buy the ticket? - No.

Father says that buying a ticket

is like a blind man shooting an arrow in the darkness.

Well, all those who have bought the ticket are invited.

There will be sweets there.

-There would be a drama too. - Our villagers are a furtive lot.

They claim not to have money to buy peanuts but

they go about dancing at the drama?

You give me all the gossip.

Hurry up. It's so late.

Another 2.

Stop!

I'll pluck your eyes!

Fool!

He has ruined your attire.

There is a wash room there. Go clean yourself. Go!

- C'mon, Neeru. - Go!

You brute! Aren't you ashamed?

(Door creaks)

Why are you standing here?

Some idiot splashed muddy water on Sukhmani.

She is cleaning up there.

- Rascal! - Brother!

Wait! Let me see!

- Scoundrel! - How dare you raise your hand on me?

Scoundrel!

I'll pluck your eyes! I'll kill you!

- Wait! You! - Don't let him go! Where are you going?

Leave him!

Why are you jealous if I ogle at her?

I'll pluck your eyes if you dare look at her!

- She is my future wife. - You are just a servant.

- Nobody honors a servant! - Let it be!

- Scoundrel! - You fool! I love Sukhmani since I was born!

I'll marry her!

I'm the only eligible bachelor in this village.

Let me see who dares to marry her.

- I'll marry her! - Let's see!

I'll set the whole village on fire.

Go home. Stop this quarrel!

- Why are you fighting? - You go home.

Yes.

- Come. - Go!

You come too, brother.

You won't benefit from this land.

It'll be barren within 6 months. No point buying it.

Manager, break the deal.

Sister! I want to marry right now.

Have a look at yourself. What happened?

Love.

- When? - Half an hour back.

- And I want to marry right now. - Don't you jump like a monkey.

No girl, no auspicious time, no wedding procession how will you marry?

- Sukhmani. - What?

- Yes. - That milkman's daughter?

Have you gone mad? You'll get only cow dung and grass as dowry.

- I'll find a wealthy girl for you. - I don't want anything!

- I just want Sukhmani! - Useless fellow!

I've raised you up by feeding you milk and almonds!

How will I recover my money? Why do you think I haven't married?

That's because I don't want to share my wealth. And you!

You want to marry a pauper!

You didn't even match the horoscope! - What horoscope!

I'm madly in love with her.

Ma'am, he has raised the topic at the right time.

The goddess will enter the house.

(Engine purrs)

(Gate creaks)

Ma'am, you? And in this poor man's house?

- My house has become pure. Come in. - What's the use?

- I've come here for some reason. - Tell me, ma'am.

My brother Baj Bahadur likes your daughter.

He wants to marry her.

You are the fortunate one!

Be thankful to god!

No dowry, no good looks. And to top it she's not getting any younger.

I'll talk to the priest in a few days to fix the marriage date.

Do you accept it?

Accept? Ma'am, I can't even believe it.

My luck has had a pleasant awakening.

This alliance is way beyond my wildest imagination!

Fine, accept this.

Be aware that whatever I do is for your own good.

I don't want to get married to that idiot.

Will you hang around here forever as a noose around my neck?

I've been lying about your age.

How long will I be able to keep up with it?

I'm getting sleepless nights as you are getting older.

Have pity on your old father!

But he has affected you greatly.

And then, he is a year younger than you.

No money and no land!

Takes off every other day during the monsoon. Why?

Because he has just one loincloth and that's wet.

The elephant is mortgaged to that woman.

Only 4 hens left.

(Scoffs) Will you be happy in that hut?

Every man is the same after marriage.

There is no difference.

Look, dear, I'm your real father. I want you to be happy.

If you become her daughter-in-law, you'll rule the village.

Rule!

Turn!

- We don't give alms. - No, Balwant, I've made a good decision.

- What do you mean? - Well, my son is ready to marry your daughter.

And you are ready too.

And so, you'll have to give us dowry.

These days, hale and well built guys like him

are worth 20,000 rupees and 20 grams of gold

It'll be too much for you. No problem.

I'll reduce 5000. You can give me 15,000 rupees.

How much is your loan? 6000 rupees.

Deduct the 6,000 and give me 9,000 bucks.

Am I right? So my loan will be repaid.

And you'll get such a nice groom for your daughter.

Is it acceptable to you?

You rascal!

You're a pauper and you've come to ask for my daughter's alliance?

Wait! I'll shoot your skull off along with your son's.

He's gone mad! Mangal, run!

Mangal, run! He will hit stone!

- He has gone mad! - You fool, wait!

'Kanhaiya,

'I had hopes that some day father will give his consent for our marriage.'

'But today when he accepted madam's alliance, my hopes crashed.

'Let's elope.'

'Tonight at 11:30 meet me at the road going towards Satpur.'

'I'll wait for you there.'

Neeru!

Give this to your brother.

And nobody should know.

Sukhmani!

(Music)

"This world is a puppet of fate."

"It's all a game of fate."

"I've come as your good luck."

"Have a relation with me."

"Make me yours, hide me in your heart."

"Make a move and take the risk."

"Embrace me, make me yours."

"Feel the passion. Lock eyes with me."

(Music)

"My life is quite expensive."

"Let's see who gets me."

"In this crowd of people."

"Whose luck will shine?"

"Apart from me, there is nothing."

"Good luck follows me."

"Come, my beloved."

"Make me yours, hide me in your heart."

"Make a move and take the risk."

"Embrace me, make me yours."

"Feel the passion. Lock eyes with me."

(Music)

"I'm the love that eyes search for."

"I'm the shower of happiness."

"If you do manage to grab me."

"I'm the sharp sword."

"I've no control over myself."

"Here a moment the next moment, I'm there."

"Come, my beloved."

"Make me yours, hide me in your heart."

"Make a move and take the risk."

"Embrace me, make me yours."

"Feel the passion. Lock eyes with me."

(Music)

(Chair creaks)

- Did you find it? - What?

The ticket worth the 10 million prize.

I'd sold 105 tickets and I got only 104 tickets.

One ticket is not here. That should be the prize winning one.

Who didn't come for the feast?

What do I know?

But he must have found out that he has won the lottery.

- That's the reason he didn't turn up. - Who could that be?

Anybody. Out of the 105, it could be anybody. Wonder who?

We've lost whatever we had because of your greed.

Arrange Rs.1000 somehow and bring my Gattu back.

I don't want 10 million!

I just want my child!

Do you hear?

(Woman wailing)

I know.

I know who's won the prize.

- Who? - Anthony.

- That drunkard? - Yes.

He always buys the ticket from me.

And he's the only one who didn't come for the feast.

- Is any meal left over? - Everything is over.

They just pounced on the food.

I've kept the sweet for you.

Pack it and give it to me.

(Gate creaks)

Brother, Anthony!

Brother, Anthony!

(Indistinct sound from Television) - (Door creaks)

'After many days people of Delhi got relieved from heat.'

Brother, Anthony! There was a feast at my place.

You might not be aware.

All the regular ticket buyers had come but you didn't.

But you always buy ticket from me. And so, I got some sweets for you.

Can I come in?

I've come to give you good news that

your lottery ticket has won the first prize of 10 million.

But I guess you know this you do. Right?

Here, have the sweet and sweeten your mouth.

Well, one million is a huge amount.

Don't you forget my commission, Anthony.

(Chuckles)

I take at least 10 per cent commission from others but,

I'll take only 5 per cent from you as you are from the village.

Do you think it's too much? Well, then, I'd leave it to you to decide.

Well, don't refuse. Do respect the sweets, brother Anthony.

Two. Now don't say one. This won't be fair.

You'll have to give me at least 50,000..

Anthony!

Anthony!

Anthony!

Anthony!

You? What are you doing here?

I'm here to take the loan payment. What are you doing here?

I.. No.

What happened to brother Anthony?

- Oh, god! You've strangulated him. - No!

Listen to me.

I don't want to hear anything. I'll call people.

- Brothers! - Wait!

- Will you kill me too? - No!

I haven't killed anyone, Ballu.

He has won the first prize of 'Malamaal Weekly'.

10 millions rupees!

- And you killed him for that amount? - I haven't killed anyone.

I came here to congratulate him on winning the first prize.

But I think he knew it before I could come.

Guess, he died out of happiness.

I've seen people laugh out of happiness

but never seen them die.

Leela, I haven't lost my senses.

How did your veil become the noose round his neck?

I was trying to take the ticket from his hands.

By putting your veil around his neck?

No!

He was already dead when I came here to congratulate him.

Lord Ram did not wish for this happiness for him.

The same lord Ram has sent us here at the same time.

So this is lord Ram's wish that we share the booty understood?

So, 5 million is yours.

The rest remains is mine. Understood?

Well, we've seen poverty all my life.

Let us at least be rich when we die.

Fine? And you?

You can get your daughter married with pomp and show.

And you can get married once again you're still young!

Understood? Well, it'll be a sin!

It would be a mortal sin if we refuse this offering from lord Ram.

Who knows about it? Who knows about this except the two of us?

We'll claim to be the rightful winners. That's it.

Yes!

But won't this be wrong?

Why would it be? Are we stealing?

Are we committing a crime?

And the lottery guy has to pay off the stake money.

Well, then, why should we let it go? And it is our right. Isn't it?

And what will we do of this dead body?

That cobbler, Sambhu and his wife have seen me coming here.

Well, I've told Saturam that I'll be here.

We'll in trouble during the police investigation.

What should we do now?

Why are you staring?

Let's do this.

We'll stealthily go and dump this dead body in the river.

The villagers will think it's because of his drinking binge.

Fine.

Come, Ballu.

The heaviest part of his body is towards me.

What do I do about this? Let's keep it here.

Come on. Carry.

You sell milk and yet have no strength. Carry it!

Leela, you're turning pale too.

What does he think of himself? He just keeps blabbering.

Come.

That's it. It's done.

Keep the stick down.

Come on now sit. Drive.

What is happening?

What do you have to do? You mind your business. Go!

The sword is hanging around our necks.

Stop worrying about trivial matters.

Leela, you don't know what he did with my Sukhi..

Later!

When this junk gets moving this corpse might fall down.

You sit inside and hold the dead body.

And if anyone asks, say he's not dead, just unconscious.

We're taking him to the doctor.

- Stop preaching me and drive the vehicle. -Yes!

C'mon!

How will the vehicle move? I want to have a word with you.

Where are you taking Anthony?

To hell. How does it concern you, scoundrel!

Stop calling me scoundrel! I'm not your slave anymore.

I've picked up a few abuses from you shall I use them?

- I won't respect your old age? - Hey!

Stop fighting bang in the middle of the road?

- You go. Go! - Put some sense into him.

And where are you taking brother Anthony?

He lost consciousness after drinking.

Taking him to the doctor.

That's a daily occurrence what's new about it?

He had a drink too many today. Keeps on fainting

So, we're taking him to the doctor.

(Chuckles) To the doctor, is it?

What can a doctor do if you take a dead body to him?

Dead body. Whose?

No. There's no dead body.

Look. Don't try to fool me.

I've heard everything. I'm going to the police to report this.

Wait!

Let go of my hand. - Listen to me.

- I don't talk to murderers. - What?

- Who is a killer? - You two.

We are not killers. We haven't killed him.

- He died by himself. - What do you mean?

Let us explain.

- Come here. - Take him there.

Look at that. Just look at the happiness on his face!

Does it look as if we have killed him? Have we strangulated him? Look!

How much did you say that we will get?

10 million!

But now, we three will share the booty. Fine?

- You just accept it. - No!

- Wait! - Why get him on to it?

There is no other option.

He spills the beans and we toil it out in prison.

- There is no other option, Ballu. - Come here.

Tell me what have you decided?

I neither want the money, nor will I go to the police.

- Then? - But..

Then?

- You'll have to agree to what I say. - What?

- I'll marry Sukhmani. - Scoundrel!

Have a bath with the dirty water boiling within you.

As long as I'm alive, this won't happen.

Then I'll marry Sukhmani after he dies.

The cops won't rest till they hang him.

Well, whether I commit 1 murder or 5, they'll hang me once.

I'd rather kill you and be hanged.

Don't talk nonsense! Are you a dacoit?

I'll not let this marriage take place!

Throw the cash on his face and get it over with.

If you want to throw 3 million at him, give him your daughter too.

Who is it worth 3 million that's going to marry your daughter?

Boasting!

What are you thinking?

You are right!

Why didn't I think of this earlier?

He's game. Your father-in-law is game for anything now.

- What are you saying? - Quiet, now.

I've said it! She is my daughter too!

- Listen. - Yes.

You've to throw the corpse in the river without being noticed. Understood?

Hold it carefully or else, not only would you stay a bachelor

but we'd be without the cash too. Sit.

Sit.

- Catch it. - Yes.

(Vehicle starts)

Wait! Stop!

- It seems something is wrong. - Looks like Chinni, her mother,

and the wood cutter, her uncle.

- So late in the night? - I'll check on it.

What happened?

- What happened? - Good that we found you both here.

- We were going to your house. - Why?

The village head has called for an urgent meeting.

He has invited all the village heads.

We can't come now. We've some important work.

Why has he summoned village meeting so late in the night?

Her husband gave her gold ring to that dancer.

Now that we are asking for it, she says she has bought it.

We want the ring back before the troupe migrates.

That's the reason the meeting is called for.

How will the meet proceed without you two village heads?

- Who is he? Brother, Anthony? - What happened?

Nothing. He was lying unconscious on the road after a drinking binge.

Taking him to the doctor's.

Have to be there before things go out of hand. Understood?

- Nothing else. - Fine. We all will come with you.

- We'll go to the meet after that. - That's not possible.

- Listen! - We'll take care of it. Ballu, come here!

He's ailing. Doesn't have a mother either.

Move away! Let him get some air.

- Move away! - Let me go.

Ballu, this is taking a horrific twist!

- We'd be ruined if they come with us! - What do we do now?

There is only one option Kanhaiya..

- Go, Kanhaiya. - Yes!

Go to Leela.

Haven't you ever seen an unconscious man?

Wait. We're coming to the doctor with you.

Ok!

- C'mon brothers! - Tell him!

- We will go with the villagers. - Yes.

You go dump him in river Manjira. Understood?

And make sure nobody sees you. Understood?

- Be tactful. - Leave this vehicle at my house.

- We'll meet in the morning. - No. I can't do this by myself.

It's time for you to do things by yourself now.

But..

- He's dead. He won't eat you. - But..

- Listen to me! - Take him to the doctor! Go!

- Come on. - Yes, come on.

- Sir! - C'mon!

Father!

(Brakes squeal)

Sukhi!

Wait! It's me, Kanhaiya!

Wait!

Why are you staring?

How did you get father's vehicle?

It's a long story. Now we don't have to elope from the house.

Father has accepted our marriage.

How is that?

Really? I can't believe it!

Then have a look at the dead body. It's in the vehicle.

Vehicle? Where is the vehicle?

The vehicle is here. The corpse? Where's the corpse?

It's not here.

Where did it go? What will I tell uncle Leela tomorrow?

Your father will surely kill me.

Wait here. I'll go have a look down there.

There's a jungle down there.

Don't go. Come back.

But I've to find the corpse.

Can't see a thing here. Where did the corpse go? - (Bullock cart approaching)

Someone's coming. There'd be chaos if we're spotted.

We can't find the corpse in this darkness.

- Let's leave in the vehicle. - Wait.

Kanhaiya, come!

Hariya! - Yes?

- Has your cow delivered? - Yes twins.

Ballu!

- Kanhaiya? - He is inside.

- Then call him. - Brother!

Rascal!

He seems to eat, drink and do everything else on the elephant.

Tell me. Where did you throw the corpse?

- The corpse? - Yes.

(Stammers) Just like you said. In the river.

And did you put the liquor bottle in his pocket?

- In the pocket. - (Stammers) I put it in the pocket.

This scoundrel is lying.

He always stammers when he lies.

- It's the truth. - Prove it to us.

- Come on. Show us. - No!

No point doing that.

The water might have drifted him to the neighboring village.

That's fine. You are right.

I've a few gunny bags. Take them and get them filled with the cash.

It's not vegetables we're dealing with.

When the stake is over a million, we've to inform the officer.

Then he'll send his Inspector.

- Police Inspector? - Not the police.

The lottery officer will come.

He'll inquire where the winner lived, about his job.

About his parent's, ration card, etc.

And that's when we'll get the money.

What should we do?

We've to call up the lottery office and inform them

that we've the prize winning ticket.

Let's go to the grocery store then.

- Come! - Come!

I'll pay for the call. I'll account for it later fine?

(Vehicle starts)

- Here's yours! - Here's mine!

Which one you want?

Take this.

- How much? - Rs.5!

Hello lottery office? I'm calling from village Laholi.

I've won the first prize

the number is 3..

What happened?

- This ticket.. - What happened?

Why are you perspiring?

Your face has turned pale.

- What happened? Say something. - Not here, too crowded.

Come, Ballu. - Oh god!

What's happened? - (Vehicle starts)

Wait! Stop!

Will you say something? Or has a snake bitten you?

Forget the money, now just save your lives.

Why? What happened? Didn't you tell the lottery guy?

He has conveyed everything before dying.

- How? - What?

Anthony has told them everything.

But Anthony is dead.

He was not born dead.

He's spilled it all before dying.

Lottery office? Malamaal Lottery Office?

I've a ticket. Bumper ticket. Bumper prize of 10 million.

Name? Malamaal Lottery.

Anthony.

Joseph Anthony Fernandes.

Ticket number? One second. PA1..

Oh no!

PA13765.

House number? 18. (Laughs)

Village Umaria. No,

village Laholi. District is Umaria.'

(Laughs)

Ration card number? I don't know.

One minute. I'll look out.

Who eats? I've just been drinking.

Ration card, where are you? Found it.

Write it.

225C687.

(Laughs)

Send the money right away.

And even worse, the lottery people had called up at Anthony's house.

- For what? - For checking.

What checking?

The lottery people know that the winning ticket is Anthony's.

What are you staring at? Your marriage is doomed now.

What?

- You promised it! - I just promised. It wasn't concrete.

- You're changing your words, sir. - So .

Be quiet!

- Think of a solution to this puzzle. - What puzzle?

We can't get what isn't in our destiny.

- You fool, it's not the cash I refer to. - What is it, then?

That lottery inspector will come here searching for Anthony.

And Anthony's dead body will surface in the river.

The cops will jump to the conclusion..

..that the greed for the million has made us kill Anthony and dump him.

Devidas and Chunni will tell..

..them they've seen us with him.

That we were taking him to the doctor.

And the doctor will testify that we never came to him.

And then, the story would shape up that we've killed Anthony..

..and thrown the corpse away.

If only we had Anthony's corpse!

How is that possible? That has flown down the river.

And the money has gone down the muck.

- And we will go to jail. - Jail? I won't go to jail.

I'll tell them you two killed him.

I didn't kill him.

When I reached his house, he was there with a knife in hand.

And his veil was around Anthony's neck.

- Me? - I told him I don't want the cash.

- He said half million.. - Quiet!

- Greetings! - Greetings!

- Where were you taking Anthony yesterday? - I didn't.

We accompanied you.

He had taken him all alone.

Me? Me.. I had taken him to the doctor.

- And then? - What then?

He was unconscious. He came to his senses..

..started screaming said he won't go to the doctor.

Jumped off the running vehicle and ran away.

- Where did you dump the dead body then? - Which dead body?

Dead body! (Chuckles)

He's not the one to die so soon.

He is enjoying himself on the banks of Manjira river

on the branch of a tree. Go and have a look.

Scoundrel! You had thrown the dead body in the river, right?

Yes.

Then how did it reach the branch of the tree?

Did the river start flowing over the tree?

Or did it turn barren over night?

Don't fight like a mongoose and a snake!

Let's go and see if luck is on our side even now. Come.

Luck? Now, who is this Luck?

Luck the uncle of my mother. Uncle Luck. Come!

Stop!

- Where is it? - This is the place.

Show it.

Come down.

Be careful.

Where is he?

He's out there. On the branch. Up there.

Look.

He sits on the branch like a cheetah.

- How did the corpse get up there? - I don't..

Give us the truth. What did you do?

I'll tell you. I stepped out to pee.

He seems to be perennially doing that.

And then, the vehicle skid down and hit the tree.

I tried to look out for the corpse, but could not find it.

The corpse must've bounced like a ball to get there.

- You're right. - Shut up!

One slap and you'd be sitting next to him.

Ballu, wait!

Go get the rope. Stop staring? Go get the rope.

- Right away. - Anyone sees him on that branch and..

..we'll face the noose.

You step back.

If the branch breaks, that 100 kgs hunk will fall on us.

Just look at him flashing those pearlies!

Smiling as if he is lord Krishna!

As if the damsels are in the water and their blouses are in his hands.

Let be. Let me think.

- Take this. - Here it is.

Put it around my neck and hang me too.

Go. Climb up and tie the rope around his waist.

Holding one end of the rope drop the other. Go! - Go!

Very good!

Is he a monkey or your son-in-law?

Stop selling milk and start a circus.

Tie the rope over there.

Now throw down the rope.

Yes. Enough. Now push him.

Kick him.

(Leela screams)

(Goats bleating)

That's it. Lay him.

It is like putting a scarecrow in the field.

That's fine.

Come.

Put it down.

Down!

Must be drinking with this hand.

Sit on it.

Now, let's sprinkle the alcohol on the dead body.

Why?

The spirit won't let the dead body rot. And..

And his drunken spirit will be at peace.

No, you fool!

Actually the stink of the alcohol..

..won't let the lottery Inspector come close to the dead body.

We'll tell him he passed away after drinking.

That means we've to lie partly.

It's true that he died.

There he goes again.

And he only gave his lottery ticket to us. Understood?

(Car approaching)

- Who is it now? - It must be the inspector!

So soon?

- He came very soon. - How can he come so soon?

Who is it?

Brother!

Who is she?

She's calling her brother so has to be a sister, not mine though.

- Is she yours? - No, not mine.

He has a sister. But she is not the one.

Who are you, sister?

You come into my house and ask me who I am!

Brother got rich so you're hovering around like vultures.

Brother!

I see you happy after so many years!

Lord Jesus! How much do you drink!

Let go of it now that we are millionaires.

Brother! My dear brother!

- What happened? - Brother!

You rascals! What happened to my brother?

- He died. - What? Who killed him?

- Nobody. He died a natural death. - Yes. Natural death.

Oh god!

Let be. Where is the lottery ticket?

- It is with him. Give it. - What should I give? The entire shop?

My business is selling lottery tickets.

Not a ticket I've an entire shop I'll get it if you want to buy one.

Don't put on an act! Where's my brother's prize winning ticket?

- We don't know. - Don't you know?

- We don't know. - Don't you know?

Well, the ticket must have passed away with him too.

Shut up! Anthony's dead body is here.

Only you three are in this house.

And there is no clue about the lottery ticket.

We're not so dumb not to understand that.

Tell me

who told you about this lottery ticket?

Brother did so. He said.

Mary! I've been lucky.

Jesus has given so much. No! It's not alcohol.

Money! I've become rich.

Lottery! I've got the bumper prize of a million.

You come over before I die and take 5 million rupees.

That's why we've come here. Give me the lottery ticket.

Give her the ticket and let's go back empty handed.

- No! What about my marriage? - To hell with your marriage.

Wait, let me drill some sense into them.

- Go. - Listen, sister!

Even if we show a big heart..

- ..and give you the ticket. - Yes.

What would you be able to do?

- You can't do anything with it. - What do you mean?

I mean your brother had called up the lottery office..

..and gave them his name, address, the ticket number..

..and everything about himself.

Everything.

Now the inspector will come from the lottery office.

- And he'll come here for the enquiry. - Oh god!

He'll see a dead body sitting on the chair..

..and you with the ticket in your hand. He'll take you to jail straight away.

You are sure to be an orphan. Your parents will go to jail.

Do you mean to say that the money has gone?

No!

Nor will it go if you use our brains.

You come here. Move back.

Stop talking in riddles get to the point right away.

Look, we've to keep him alive in the

lottery inspector's presence.

- How? - I'll tell you come.

- Lift him up keep him on the chair. - Come, Kanhaiya!

Get the chair straightened.

Lift him. Hold him from there.

- He is too fat! - He is heavy!

Just see that he doesn't get hurt.

If he bleeds, we'll be in trouble.

That's it. Fine.

Keep it here.

- Fool! - Tell me, do you agree?

Now swing your head around. Do you agree or don't you?

The three of us are game.

- Do we have an option? - Fine, they have agreed.

But listen! This money will be distributed equally amongst us three.

Not you three. We four!

Yes! You'll have one share.

And the three of us will have a share each.

What nonsense? How much would each get then?

About 2.5 millions. It's a very huge amount, dear.

- Fine then. Come on. - What's fine?

- So is my marriage? - Yes, you got a son too.

Shut up! First the funeral then the marriage. Come on. (Snaps finger)

I don't think that the inspector will come today. The day is almost over.

We will come tomorrow morning. Okay?

Fine. Let's go. Come.

Don't open the door to anyone till morning.

Yes, but if anyone of us comes over and says 2.5 millions. You may open it then.

- Let the door be shut first, Ballu. - (Door creaks)

Neeru!

What happened? Why are you strutting about?

Father has agreed to my marriage with Kanhaiya.

What?

That's a miracle! Have you cast a spell or something?

- The spell of money has worked. - How's that?

Well.. no! You can't keep a secret.

No, I'll.

No! C'mon! Tell me! I'll keep it a secret.

- Sure? - Sure.

(Gasps)

Really? - Yes..

..but don't say a word to anyone.

- Then take an oath. - I swear.

Why did you stop the vehicle?

- What happened? - I've been waiting long to kill someone.

- That auspicious moment has come. - Come, Balwant.

I was coming to your place.

Either I take my money today or your limbs.

Don't yell take your money and go.

What?

You'll give me money, is it? Give.

How much do I've to give you? 6,000, right?

Would you be happy with 6,000? Or do I owe you any interest? Tell me.

From where did you get so much money?

Don't ask that many questions.

Do you want the interest?

I just want to get this over with.

Let me take whatever I'm getting.

Forget the interest just give me the principal.

Deduct the 6,000 bucks and give me the rest.

Where would he deduct it from? From the tree?

- He's gone bonkers! Right? - Yes.

Well, winning a lottery worth millions sure drives one mad.

- Which lottery? - Which lottery?

- What lottery! - 10 million?

Oh, is it? Anthony..

Dead body, blood in the river, need I elaborate?

I may sit on the elephant but my eyes are all around.

Just tell me what is my share?

- What are you talking? - Hindi.

Don't you understand Hindi?

Who told him?

Did that scoundrel tell him before dying too?

Don't get into the mess of who told me, and why

just give me my share that's it.

Here. Take your share! Come! You scoundrel!

What's wrong with you? Will you dole out the cash in the middle of the road?

Let's go to Anthony's house. We'll sort it out there.

I don't care if I don't get a penny

but I'll not let him get any share of the money.

Shut up!

Give me my 6,000 rupees. Give it.

- Just deduct it from that. - C'mon! Get in.

Aren't you ashamed of what you are doing?

Owns an elephant!

Come on, Mangal. Get in.

Mangal is my elephant's name not mine.

Whatever it is just get in.

Yes, I will. He got scared! Rascal!

(Vehicle starts)

Wait!

- We won't go inside! - What happened?

There's a huge crowd in there.

We are ruined! The news has spread all over.

- There's mayhem out there. - Come on. Let's go.

Cowards! And you consider yourself brave, Balwant?

- Let's go and find out what's happening. - No.

Well, you go and check we'll check from far.

- If you do sense danger just turn back. - Ok.

How many times have I told you that he can't meet you?

And how many times have we asked you the reason why?

Why?

- Because he is sleeping. - Won't he ever get up?

- No. - What?

He had a lot of alcohol last night will get up late.

- No something is fishy. - Something is definitely wrong.

Where are you going? Get out!

- Where are you going? - What happened?

What happened, brothers and sisters? What is the matter?

Last night, brother Anthony called me up at the shop.

Told me to come and collect the 900 rupees and 25 paise.

That he has won a lottery worth 10 million.

He also asked me to get Chandu, Bharat, Rakhma.

He has announced to the entire village!

That drunkard! He said that he won a lottery and you believed him?

- He must be intoxicated. - Yes.

What if tomorrow he says he has bought my elephant?

Don't overdo it. Things will get ruined. Just be calm.

Then why did brother Anthony call us here?

And why has Mary stepped in this house after so long?

They were hungry for each other's blood till yesterday.

It's only money that can melt a heart. The lottery is a reality!

No matter what, we won't leave without meeting him.

Fine. Then dig your own grave and sit here.

- See, listen.. - What is it?

Not you. I'm seeking their attention.

Well, wait here for a couple of minutes..

..while I go inside and check for myself.

- Come, Leela! - Come.

- Mary! Mary I'm calling out to you now. - What is it?

One.. two.. three..

Shut up!

Shut up!

We won't go till we get the money!

(Indistinct chatter)

No! I'm not going to distribute the cash among them.

Fine. We're leaving.

You're the one to lie to them that Anthony is sleeping.

- Me? - One minute, buddy. You wait.

Just think with a calm mind.

If these wolves get to know that Anthony is dead..

..our whole plan will be ruined.

People would blame the sister of killing her brother out of greed.

And you'll be jailed.

- And your son will become an orphan! - Yes.

Fine.

- How many of them out there? - They are 12 and we are 5.

5? But you were four till yesterday, right?

But even he knows it now.

Who is he? - Mangal.

That is my elephant's name.

Whoever he might be but how did he know?

How do I know? Ask this drunkard.

Don't worry. It's a very huge amount. Why do you worry?

Now shall we call everyone?

Should we call them?

- Go and call. - Move aside.

Now sit. Sit.

If not for brother Balwant, I wouldn't have got my gold ring.

I must convey this good news to him.

That's his vehicle out there.

So, this is it.

And if we don't leak out this information,

if we kept this a secret,..

..the roof will open up with the weight of the money.

But, if we do let it out, we won't even have a roof on our heads.

We just have to be careful about one little thing.

Don't tell anyone that Anthony died..

..till we get this lottery prize.

We just have to say that he is alive but only if asked.

Don't mount the elephant and yell that Anthony is alive.

- Yes. - Don't yap, okay?

Now stop your lecture.

Count the number of share holders now.

How many times do we count?

They are 12 and we are 5.

It's a total of 17.

- Fine? - Yes.

- Yes, 17. - Danger.

Did you guys hear anything?

- We heard everything. - Yes.

Then why are you all standing outside? Come inside.

Come.

- Bring everybody in. - Come in!

- Come, Birju. - Now how much each person would get?

I don't know wonder if we'd ever get anything now!

Tell me, who else have you told in the village?

You hassle us even after dying!

I'd have strangled you if you were alive.

Have you gone mad?

What are you doing?

If we keep this corpse for another day, it'll reek so badly that,..

..not just our village, but the whole district will know it.

Everybody will get loose change then.

Forgive him, brother Anthony! He lost his cool.

Let's bury him right away.

How can we? What if the inspector barges in?

If the church bell tolls the entire village will reach the graveyard.

What is the solution, then?

(Indistinct chatter)

Silence! Keep quiet!

- I've an idea. - What?

We will have to bury Anthony. No two ways about it.

We'd have to bury him covertly? Understood?

We'll have to go to the church and have a word with the Father.

But who will the inspector meet? Who will he talk to?

- Anthony's grave! - Now you stop yakking and let me talk.

-Go on. - Yes!

The inspector does not know whether Anthony is fair or dark..

..whether he is fat or slim.

He hasn't even seen Anthony.

- Anyone amongst us can be him. - How's that?

- I've got an idea. - What?

- Why don't you become Anthony? - No. I'll feel shy.

Why? I'm not asking you to wear dress.

You've to be a man.

Stop your shameless talk.

Assume that you're acting in a drama.

I don't even have a moustache.

The inspector doesn't know whether you have one. Go on be a sport.

Brave Ballu is afraid once again. I'll do it. There's nothing to it.

No!

As long as I'm alive, Choke won't become Anthony.

Why?

He can't repay my 6,000 rupees!

You think he'd distribute the million amongst us.

Forget it.

- You go and sit on your elephant! Go! - Yes.

- I'll become Anthony. - Will you?

- Yes. - Hail Ballu!

- Yes. - Hail Ballu!

Very good, Ballu! God bless you!

Let's go and have a word with the Father now.

I see.

I won't ring the bell. Nobody will know.

I'll bury him so discreetly..

..that even the corpses in the vicinity wouldn't know.

- But there is one problem. - What?

- There is no father. - It happens.

Many people don't have a father.

Ask your mother. Doesn't she know too?

I'll bash you so badly that all your 40 teeth will come out!

- But we've only 32 teeth. - The rest 8 would be yours.

I'm not talking about my father but about the church's father!

We can't perform the rituals without him!

When will he come?

He has gone to meet the Bishop. Will come after a week.

Even if he was here, he wouldn't have agreed.

After a week? What will we do till then?

- There is one option. - What?

I'll go to the neighbouring village. I'll bring that church's Father.

The best thing is that he won't know who we're burying.

The travelling expense and the expense of bringing him is yours.

The grave digger, the sweeper and me that's seven of us.

We all should get an equal share.

Here's another leech now!

Let go at least, the work will be done, right?

And then, whatever we get is a profit, right?

God knows when he'll come! That lottery inspector.

Why do you worry, Ballu? Don't worry.

Let him come whenever he wants.

We're all set.

We've sent Joseph to Jaunpur to get the Father.

We will bury Anthony. You don't worry.

You talk so much!

I don't know what I've to do as Anthony.

- Do what? - What will I do as Anthony?

- What do you mean? - I mean what will I do as Anthony?

Just be Anthony. Nothing else.

(Brakes squeal)

Will this road go to Laholi?

This road is in Laholi.

And the road will not go anywhere, you have to.

Where is Anthony's house?

He is the lottery inspector! Turn your face!

Anthony!

- You want to go to Anthony's house? - Yes.

- Anthony is my childhood friend. - Okay.

Now listen.

After you cross this bridge, go down.

You'll find a banyan tree there. Anthony's house is not there.

Take a right turn from there, and you find Shiva's temple.

This Shiva's temple that you find Anthony's house is not there too.

Proceed further and that's where you'll find Anthony's house.

Understood? No?

- Shall I show you Anthony's house? - Yes.

I'll be back soon.

What's this!

You reach Anthony's house on your cycle. I'll reach there in the car.

What?

- Do you think I'm a fool! - What?

You'll go in the car. Is my cycle a plane that it will fly?

I'll show him all around town.

(Horn honking) - I'll show him all around town.

- Understood? - He's honking

You go and sit at Anthony's house. - (Horn honking)

Open the door when I'll knock. - (Horn honking)

Coming!

Wash the clothes properly!

Yes.

(Chuckles)

He is a laundryman of the village.

Was washing the clothes without using the soap.

Stop!

There's no house here.

Stop. Let me relieve myself.

Relive! Hurry up.

Where is he going?

Where am I stuck up?

(Horn honking) - Wasting time.

Wait! I'm coming.

Do you want to do it?

- No, let's go. - Do it.

- No, let's go. - Do it.

This damn chain had to come out now!

Bloody thing!

(Brakes squeal)

Listen. Where is Anthony's house?

- Excuse me. - He won't hear even if a bomb explodes.

- He is deaf since birth. - How do you know?

- You haven't even seen his face. - Our village is very small.

Everybody knows each other. I'll tell you. Move on.

Move on! Proceed. - (Banging car door)

You fool!

Stop! - (Brakes squeal)

This is Anthony's house. Come.

- Is Anthony at home? - Yes.

Tell him that sir has come. Call him.

He'll be here.

Come. He is your Anthony.

- He is not that one. - He is. Ask his mother. Isn't he Anthony?

- He is the one.

The Anthony that I'm talking about is 60 years old.

60 years. Then you should have told me before.

But you said he is your childhood friend.

Yes. Look, he is in his childhood.

(Laughs)

He is my young friend. Go.

Do you know Anthony Fernandes?

- Yes. - Do you know his house?

- Yes. - Come with me.

(Knocking) Brother Anthony!

- Why call out to the dead? - Keep quiet!

What is it?

- That inspector is here. - Oh god!

- Where is the corpse? - On the chair.

- Take it to the next room. - Okay.

And what are these goats doing here?

Have been here since morning.

- Where's Ballu? - Ballu!

Must be on the way.

We will tell the inspector that Ballu is taking a bath.

Understood! Close the window and open the door!

(Window creaks)

Come.

(Chuckles)

She is Anthony's sister, Mary.

- Mine? - Not yours Anthony's sister. Mary.

- Is Anthony at home? - Yes. He is eating.

It is lunch time. So he is eating.

- You? - I'm Jayesh Agarwal,

Malamaal lottery inspector.

- Come. Have a seat. - Have a seat.

Will you have something? Tea or coffee?

A glass of water.

Do they all live here?

No. We all are sitting here for the money.

- Is he a new share seeker? - What?

They all are Anthony's servants.

And he is the head of the servants here.

Just waiting for the money to get their salary.

Talk too much and I'll dump this umbrella in your mouth..

..and I'll open it too, understood?

Go and tell everybody not to open their trap.

He is the lottery inspector.

If he becomes suspicious, you'll not get even a penny. Go!

Fine!

(Briefcase lock clicks)

Ghost!

Your father is the ghost!

Ghost!

Soon he'll be here at least before his stomach splits up.

He eats one meal a day. That's why he takes time.

- And what do you do? - I?

I've a lottery business.

You sell? - No, I buy.

What business is this? - Of fate.

It's only the lottery that can change the fate of our village.

And they all are in this business too. Am I right?

He deals in elephants.

(Sneezing)

You've a cold. Shall I make ginger tea for you?

No, it starts whenever I enter the village. Dust allergy.

Ailment of the dust.

Take this.

- Is Anthony inside? - (Coughs) Yes.

Then why are we standing outside? Come.

Why are you waiting outside?

Come. Have a seat. Sit here.

He sat..

Sit here.

Thank you for everything.

Has he finished eating? How long will he take?

Well, he's coming.

He did not eat recently?

Both of them have made me waste time.

If it's going to take him long, shall I go in for the signature?

- No.. - Go and ask him.

Ask him.

Go and ask. Let me go and ask.

Let's see what's going on. What's taking him so long?

Where is he?

He just came as a ghost I wonder where he is now!

Open the back door. He can't come in from the front.

It is locked. Wonder where the keys are.

It's locked? How will that ghost come in?

- Come. - Where is Anthony?

He'll come. He'll be here soon.

Is this a joke? Why don't you guys understand?

I've left my daughter with my neighbours.

Wonder how she is! She's just a kid 6 years old.

I've a drive home for 8 hours.

She's going to cry and raise a ruckus.

There's nobody to take care of her, hence I need to reach soon.

- So where is he? - Who?

- Anthony! - I'm coming.

(Shivering)

The water is so cold.

Greetings!

You said he was having lunch.

- I had my lunch am having a bath now. - He is taking a bath.

You see, I don't use soap. The doctor has given me ashes.

The skin remains soft by using that.

People always do it the other way. They first take a bath and then eat.

My brother never does anything wrong. He is a sincere man.

- Who is he? - I'm the lottery inspector.

You! My eyes have aged waiting for you.

Show me your lottery ticket and your ration card.

Sure. I'll just get it.

Will you have ginger tea?

(Pot thuds)

What is this?

He has a sore foot.

The doctor has asked him to soak the leg in..

..a vessel full of warm salty water.

Now he doesn't have the time.

So he roams around with the vessel tied to his leg like an anklet.

(Pot thuds)

- Ok. - Take this.

This is the ticket and this is the ration card.

- Ration card. - Anthony!

- Everything is fine. - Fine?

You can sign here.

- Will the thumb impression do? - That would be fine.

You'll get your money within 10-15 days.

Congratulations. You'll be the owner of 10 million!

(Chuckles)

Hail lord Ram!

- He is coming our way. - You ignore him. Let's go.

Look, who's coming!

Your wife.

"Don't venture out during the daytime, you beautiful girl."

"Your fair skin might become dark."

- What a beauty, my wife is! - Yes.

Keep quiet!

Quit dreaming about marrying me.

- Because I'm going to marry Kanhaiya. - That pauper!

Will you beg after marriage?

Your sensible father will get you married to me.

Then go and ask my sensible father what the truth is.

As it is, we are going to be rich..

Sukhi, what are you doing! Let's go.

You cross my path again and I'll thrash you with a broom dipped in dung.

(Brakes squeal) - (Sneezing)

One more sign.

Nobody is at home. Everybody has gone to the church.

Church? - Uncle died.

Uncle died?

Any relative or friend of Anthony's who'd like..

..to say something in his honour may come here.

Who could that be?

I think one of us should say something.

Fine.

- You say. - No, you say.

Respected father of the church..

If you want to remember the good villagers then..

Speak up!

If you want to remember the good people then Anthony..

(Sneezing)

Sorry.

- What happened? - The inspector.

Leela will continue now.

- Move! He is sitting behind! - What will I say?

Say..

What will I say? He was a noble soul.

You'll have to say. It is the ritual.

Ballu, what is this?

Isn't his name Anthony?

Yes.

The villagers lovingly called him Ballu, right?

Ballu? But Ballu is a Hindu name.

He did not believe in those things.

Ballu was a brave man.

He used to save people's lives by jumping into the well.

He was in the milk business.

Now, that Balloo is dead.

- Who will provide milk to the village? - Your father.

Who will protect his daughter?

Who will jump into the well?

The cows, buffaloes and goats of the village will go crazy,

crying Balloo!

Why are you crying? I'm alive.

It pains me to talk about such things.

May his soul rest in peace!

Now we should proceed towards the graveyard.

Come on pick him.

C'mon.

Why has this nut come again? And what is he doing here?

We'll land in a soup. Go ask him.

Greetings. What happened?

I forgot to take impression.

When I went to Anthony's house..

..a kid told me that his uncle was dead I thought..

No. The one who died is Balloo. Anthony is right here.

Come here!

This is Anthony. He is alive!

There is no hurry.

Even after the cremation..

We don't know how much time it will take.

Why?

His daughter will be coming and we are waiting for her.

We've to show her Balloo's body!

He needs the thumb impression. Give it.

It appears that Balloo was very close to you.

- Yes. - You were overcome with emotions.

Oh yes. Where do I have to give the thumb impression?

Just a minute.

But why did Balloo commit suicide?

Now how can I tell you in this crowded place.

- Balloo's wife eloped with a loafer. - Shut up!

There is a limit to everything.

- Balloo is not dead. Balloo is alive! - What?

I'm saying that Balloo is alive!

He is overcome with emotions..

Have you taken his thumb impression?

May the lord grant peace to his soul.

But why are his feet hanging out?

He had a hunch since birth.

Your father was a hunchback!

He is overcome with emotions.

Leave!

- Just calm down. - What do you mean?

Is this nut a lottery inspector or a police inspector?

What is this?

- How did everything happen? - Tell me, what's wrong?

Everything is alright.

Oh! Gullu's coming.

- Get ready! - Ok!

We'll not spare that nut who ruined Rani's honour.

Gullu and Rani will surely be married!

Gullu! Your father-in-law! - Run!

Catch him! - Run! - He should not get away.

Father, thank you very much!

It is alright, my son.

Balloo, brother! I've kept my word and buried Anthony.

The rest of the villagers did not know about it too.

Jesus is with us.

Now, let us have our money.

Money? Now?

Balloo brother, you are becoming greedy now.

That inspector had come. He had taken your thumb impression.

We've all seen it. And now, you refuse to give us the money?

Oh no, brother!

He had come only to take the thumb impression.

Now, he'll conduct an inquiry the money will come in 10 days.

10 days? Why?

Anything can happen in 10 days.

Call up the inspector and get the money quickly.

Have patience!

If you generate too much heat the grain will be charred.

Have faith in the government it'll give us the money.

We all have to equally divide Anthony's money.

Jump around and the inspector will be suspicious.

And that would mean the end of the story.

Just stay mum as regards to the cash.

Yes.

I'll open my mouth.

You want to grab Anthony's money after killing him?

Where has this pygmy come from?

I just fell off a tree to learn about your conspiracy.

Now I know why Sukhmani foiled my move.

I'll go and reveal all to sister.

Then we'll know if you get the money or the kicks.

Oh wait! Baj Bahadur, sir, wait for a second.

Be large hearted and forget whatever has happened.

You want money, don't you?

- Take you share? - Yes.

No! I don't want money. I want Sukhmani.

Baj Bahadur!

Please understand that she's lose her youth someday.

- Yes. - Then?

But money will remain young forever.

No, no. I don't care about her being old or young.

I just want Sukhmani. Tell me right now yes or no?

No! You won't get Sukhmani. You can have the cash.

I don't want anything else. I just want Sukhmani. Sukhmani!

- You want Sukhmani? - Leave him..

Sister!

Sister!

Stop!

Sister!

Sister!

Sister!

Listen to us!

Sister!

Stop there!

Wait!

You fool! Standing like a log! Why didn't you catch him?

- He ran like a rat. - But how did he reach the graveyard?

Stop your inane questions now.

Is this a game?

If only we had cajoled him, we would've succeeded.

This fool has spoilt everything with his scrap.

This scoundrel is an inauspicious person.

Things have been bad since he's become a partner.

I'll get my daughter married to a donkey, but not you.

Stop playing another game now.

Baaje must have spilled all the beans by now.

What do we do now?

Fool around. Obviously, we have no choice..

- ..other than running away. - No.

We won't run away.

- What then? - We will never run! Where will we run?

Just when we are on the verge of getting the money?

- We won't run! - No.

What do we do then?

We'll now..

- Let's do something. - What?

- We'll give a share to ma'am too. - Yes. Wow! What a thought!

She'll get the entire share worth 10 million..

..and we'll be left with a begging bowl.

We'll fall at her feet. We'll ask for forgiveness.

We'll give her half the share, and share the remaining half.

- It won't.. - What's the harm in trying?

Even then.. even then we will get a big amount.

We'll try..

She won't agree. She is street smart.

If the villagers get the money she'll lose control over the village.

- She'll never tolerate this. - We'll talk to her.

Come with me. I'll handle everything.

- I'll explain it to her. - Come on, follow the leader.

Come on.

Talk to her properly. She is not your friend.

Ma'am, we've come to request you for something.

Later! I don't have the time right now.

Go and get Baaje quickly. Go!

Move!

Be calm!

Have faith. Everything will be all right.

(Signalling)

What happened to him?

He came running into the mansion..

..and his mouth has been open since then.

What is she saying?

Neither could he speak nor could he shut his mouth.

But, how did this happen? Didn't he say anything?

He was trying to say something..

But there was no voice coming from his mouth.

Only air was coming out.

Is his speech malfunctioning or is it yours?

What's wrong with him?

Just can't understand.

His jaw is locked up due to severe beating.

Just can't say how long it'll take

a month, a year, a life time just can't tell.

He wants to say something. Give him a pen and a paper.

What will he write?

This fool bit the teacher's hand on the first day at school.

He can't even a draw a straight line.

Have patience, dear. Tell it when you can speak.

But what is it that he wants to say? It would be fine if he can ever speak..

..or else this secret will forever remain a secret.

Saved!

Listen, dear!

Lord Jesus has done justice to us poor people.

We also must do justice to Him.

We must give some money to the two guys with the ladder.

To hell with the rope and the ladder.

I'm concerned about my marriage. I can't wait now.

I don't want money.

But I sure want to get married before the money comes.

I can't trust this chameleon.

Once the money comes in, he'll change his colours.

This marriage will not happen.

- Why? - Why can't it happen?

I said that it won't happen.

Am I her father, or is it you?

Till I don't get the money..

..this marriage won't take place.

What if there is a mess up, and we don't get the money?

- Nothing of that sort will happen - You keep quiet for a minute.

This good for nothing guy will be nothing

but a snake around my daughter's neck.

Bloody pauper!

What if you change

after you get the money?

- What guarantee? - Am I a fool?

Why are you fighting like crazy buffaloes? Let's do this.

Let them get married after we get the cash.

In the meantime, let's get them engaged.

- How's that, brothers? - That's fine.

Marriage! He's been harping on that since donkey's years.

At least it gets this donkey to sit on a horse.

She is right! This is a great idea!

Fine? Is it fine?

Yes, but..

Fine?

- I agree. - Fine.

(Music)

"Swan, O my swan."

"Swan, I'm your swan."

"Your beloved calls you, come close, come."

"Swan, I'm your swan."

"Swan, O my swan."

(Music)

"Fair one, listen, Oh fair one."

"I'm in love with you."

"Boy, Oh, lover boy."

"Your world is mine too."

"My anklet sings for you."

"The cloud showers, such is your style."

"I'm dying of shyness, beloved."

"Swan, I'm your swan."

"Swan, O my swan."

"O my beloved, here I'm, take me wherever you wish."

This is very nice.

I'll get one made after getting the money but in gold.

Be happy!

Start the engagement ceremony with the name of the lord.

- Take. Take it. - Wait!

That auspicious moment has not arrived yet.

How did his closed mouth open up?

What did you think? That I'd be dumb for life?

Brother, what do you wish for?

Engagement!

With the engagement let the good times roll.

But the engagement will be Sukhmani's and mine.

Or else, I'll reveal your drama and the curtain would be raised.

And you all will be caught.

You scoundrel, are you leaving now?

I'm going away from here, but I'll be around.

And all of you decide what you want.

Sweets for Kanhaiya's wedding, or the money?

And when the decision is made, inform me.

I'm here at the betel leaf shop.

These problems are never ending!

Now what do we do?

Nothing?

Get on with the rituals, we'll bear what happens next.

- This cannot happen. - We all want money.

If everyone wants the money then Sukhmani's wedding

- has to happen with Baaje! - I'll not allow this to happen.

But who is asking you? We just want the money.

Who is asking you?

Wait!

Don't fight in this way.

We've to settle the matter amicably. Understand?

But we love our life more than his story of love.

- Get lost! - We went along with you..

- Get lost! - .. for the sake of the money.

Yes.

Well, you tell me which father in this world

would get his daughter married to

such a useless and worthless boy?

What's he called? A penniless father-in-law!

- What are you saying? - Not me it was you who said it.

I'm only reminding you.

The situation is such that if we

don't get Sukhi engaged to Baaje..

..then no money or the wedding.

Something that you always opposed.

The decision is yours now!

If she's cursed on her marriage..

- ..the daughter will never be happy. - Yes!

(Indistinct murmuring)

Why are you quiet now? Say something.

- 'Yes. - Ballu uncle, answer.'

'Speak Ballu. You've to decide.'

- 'His mouth is shut. - 'Answer, Ballu brother.'

(Indistinct chatter)

Call him. Call Baaje.

I'll not allow it.

I'll decide on the guy my daughter will wed!

- Father! - Quiet! You be quiet.

Don't you dare say anything.

Do exactly as I say.

Then it's fine. I'll also do as my heart wishes.

I'll tell them all about the lottery fiasco.

I'll also tell the lottery Inspector..

..that these crooks are cheating him.

I won't destroy my life and allow others to be happy.

Let me see how you get the money.

Kanhaiya.

Hit him.

I warn you. I warn you if you even touch my son.

No father, let them hit.

Since we were kids, everyone agreed that Sukhmani was mine.

We had dreamt of settling down together!

And now someone else wishes to marry her I can't bear that.

I'd rather you hit me.

You all hit me.

Listen to me, son.

Listen to me.

If you feel that what this poor old father says is worthless..

..then do as you wish but listen to me.

Come with me. Fast!

Come.

Forgive me, my son. There's no other way for me.

You are a part of my heart. That's why I've to do this.

- At least, you be with me dad. - I'm helpless.

Don't do that, father.

Balwant, you've a right to choose a son-in-law.

You who will decide.

It is your right. My son will not say anything now.

Till /the villagers don't get their money,

till Sukhi and Baaje are married..

..he'd be locked in there.

No matter what his condition is let him shout, cry let him die..

..but don't open the door.

I'll assume I never had a son.

Call Baaje and get on with the rituals.

Her maintenance is very expensive for us.

- Shall I give 100 rupees? - Yes.

Sister!

Why do always come in such a hurry.

Get me married before 10th.

How's that possible?

But the priest has fixed the date for the 5th of next month.

The priest told me himself. I met him on the way.

He said that the planets have changed position.

Said that If I get married before 10th, I'll be rich.

We'll become wealthier.

Why didn't he tell me this?

- Manager! - Yes.

Call the priest soon. I wish to talk to him

Yes, ma'am.

Come.

Close the door.

I was trapped due to lies.

Now I have to cover it somehow.

Take this, and arrange for 3000 or 3500 rupees.

The money will make the priest..

..change the wedding date.

Only this much?

He is used to small payments.

Looking at the 3000 bucks will make him faint.

Gattu!

Stop the vehicle.

Please stop the vehicle. Gattu!

This is a curse of god on us.

We tried to make ours what was never destined for us.

You gave it to the butcher to get slaughtered.

What's the use even if we get 100 millions now?

Will it bring our Gattu back?

I'd never thought this would happen.

This storm is not going to end here.

You'll be punished for your bad deeds.

Separating Sukhmani and Kanhaiya for wealth..

..will never let us find peace and happiness.

We don't need this money.

If you bring even a grain of food with that money,

I'll not touch it.

It'll smell of my Gattu's blood.

(Woman sobbing)

But what should be done?

Nothing wrong need be done.

The date that you've fixed for Baaje's wedding..

I know the 5th of next month, at 9 hours and 39 minutes.

Right. But now, ma'am has changed her mind.

She wishes that Baaje's wedding should be on the 10th of this month.

You've to tell her that if Baaje weds..

..before 5th of next month his life would be in danger.

That's when you'll get a 100 thousand.

(Laughs)

There was wealth in my horoscope for sure. I can do this.

- Greetings! - Greetings!

What were you up to with the priest?

Chokhe, you sit on the elephant but you've the brain of a donkey.

Got it?

- Baaje is getting married next month. - Yes.

And this money will come in the next 4 or 5 days.

Once we lay hands on the cash

it doesn't concern us if it's his palanquin or his coffin?

- Understood now? - Yes.

We will tell this good news to Ballu. Come.

You scheming priest!

You'll not get a 100 thousand, but a kick.

You portray that you are loyal to us, and then cheat us.

- Write it! - I will.

Bring the chair. I'll hang him from the fan.

(Hiccupping)

And for this reason, we've to pay the priest a 100 thousand.

We will not pay anything.

People keep increasing by the day.

How many? What's the amount? Nothing makes sense.

This can't go on.

If the shares keep increasing like this, what would we get?

Raddish?

Balwant, the good news is that

Baaje and Sukhmani should be wed on the 10th of this month.

We do not need to wait till next month.

But ma'am, there's no auspicious day this month!

You keep quiet.

The priest has said that the wedding..

..should be performed on the 10th of this month!

Such an auspicious day comes only once in a 1000 years.

Did the priest really tell you this?

He's sent a letter.

He's gone to another village to perform a wedding.

What do you say, Balwant?

Yes.

I'll send the trousseau for daughter-in-law.

Wouldn't even find a bell for the bull in your house!

What is this?

You had told me that the priest is under your control.

That he'll not change the date.

That means you lied.

Were you trying to pocket the 100 thousand?

He's lying.

No. It's true. Swear.

This guy, Chokhe was with me. Ask him.

Uncle Ballu, Sukhi has shut herself in the room.

I don't know what she's upto.

Sukhi!

Sukhi, my daughter.

Sukhi!

Open the door, child. - (Knocking)

Sukhi!

Do something.

Break the door.

(Knocking)

Break the door.

(Sukhi choking)

Please don't do that. No..

Sukhi!

Is she alright?

What have you done, my child?

Gently, lower her gently.

Please get some water, somebody.

Uncle. Sukhi is fine now.

My child!

Why did you save me, father?

Should have allowed me to die if it benefitted the villagers.

(Sukhi sobbing)

(Crying)

I don't want to be rich by trading my daughter's happiness.

You people do what you want.

I don't want the money from this lottery.

You are right, Balwant.

This greed for money has turned us from humans to devils.

I sold off my son.

When there was no money, the stomach was empty..

..but the mind was at peace and happy.

I feel something pricking. I don't want the money. (Crying)

Our village is like a small candle in the wind.

When we die..

..all we need is 4 shoulders, not money.

We do not want this unlucky wealth.

There is no sight of money and we're already running around fighting

If we really get the money, then it'll be a disaster.

(Mary sighs)

- Even we should forget the money. - Let's go.

(Mary sighs)

Come!

Give me the villa's keys. - (Keys jangle)

Oh God!

Uncle Leela!

What is it?

What?

Baaje has imprisoned the priest at Gulu's house.

Who's Gulu?

Baaje's useless friend.

It's him who's got Satpur's Radha pregnant.

Leela! He broke the roof and he ran away.

What?

- Look, he broke the roof and he ran away. - Father!

Sukhmani was saying that brother will kill Baaje before the wedding.

- What? - Yes.

What a mess!

Now Kanhaiya will be imprisoned and my daughter will hang herself!

We just can't get out of this mess.

- Now what should I do! - Ballu, calm down!

You don't worry, Chokhe.

We'll search the entire village and find Kanhaiya.

Yes!

Let's first bring Kanhaiya.

But where is Kanhaiya?

- Not Kanhaiya.. - What's his name?

Baaje!

- But where is Baaje? - I know where he is.

And I know where Baaje is.

We'll get Baaje.

So Kanhaiya will not kill him and he won't go to prison.

- Yes! - And I know where Baaje is. Let's go!

Come on!

I think somebody is on guard.

He is alone. We can handle him.

Baaje!

What happened?

Kanhaiya is outside.

- He's in a rage to kill. - What?

He'll surely send you to heaven today.

(Slaps)

I'll break his head before he kills me.

We'll thrash them easily.

The whole army is with him. But I've promised uncle too.

No matter what happens, I'll abduct Gullu before the auspicious time.

- Is the sack ready? - Yes.

Come on.

He is here somewhere. Won't spare him.

How did they come to know about us?

Your vehicle makes more noise than the train.

How many are they?

Three of them and we are four.

- We will first thrash him and then.. - I know.

I'll put the sack on Baaje.

Tie it tightly and take him away.

- You can handle the rest then. - Fine.

Peep in and see what's going on.

Come.

(Lamp shatters)

Put the sack! Come on!

Not like this.

We will take him out and thrash him brutally.

Because I want to see him imploring.

Me first.

(Groans)

- You? - Joseph, you?

Will you marry? - (Muffled)

- He agrees. Open the sack. - What if he runs away?

Then how will he complete the rituals?

Then we will open the sack and free his hands and legs.

Bring the scissors.

(Muffled)

Sit.

Take this. Tie the wedding chain.

Tie it, or else, I'll break both your hands.

Come on! Do it!

Now release him.

He is Baaje.

What difference does it make?

You found a father for your daughter's child.

(Screams)

Greetings! What's the matter?

I had gone to your place.

The child said you were in a wedding.

- Yes. - Have a look.

I was searching for you.

You were supposed to come after 10-15 days.

Yes. But my daughter's exams begin tomorrow.

It'll be difficult for me to leave home then.

So I completed your work quickly.

Here is your money.

Just one note for 10 million.

No, this is a demand draft.

- Sister! - He doesn't mean any relative.

If you present this paper at the bank, they'd give the money.

- Am I right? - Yes.

(Sneezing)

My cold starts as soon as I enter the village.

Okay, I'll leave.

- Have something. - Thank you. I'm getting late.

I'll leave.

I got the DD of 10 million!

Bye!

God has been extremely generous!

We have the money and the marriage.

Yes, I've become the husband! And you all have become affluent!

Nobody in this village will become rich as long as I'm alive.

You all will serve me till you die.

Sister, don't waste time here. The inspector is leaving.

Stop him before he leaves the village and tell him the truth.

- Go and tail him! Go! - Yes.

You too start.

She is going to ruin everything! Nab her!

Take her home!

Come, Ballu!

Hurry up!

Witch! Stop!

C'mon!

Stop that witch!

Nab her!

My elephant runs faster than this!

Faster!

Nab her!

C'mon!

Are you an elephant or a bull, Ballu!

- Ballu, take a left turn! - Yes.

Come on, hurry up.

Where did you drop from?

Stop! - Come on!

Faster!

(Baaje groans)

Stop!

- Baaje, the seat! - I won't spare you.

I'll not spare you today!

Scoundrel!

Hurry up!

I want to pee!

Caught you.

Don't let go!

Don't let go!

(Balwant coughs)

That's the inspector's car.

(Sneezing)

Stop!

I said, stop the car! - (Brakes squeal)

(Tires squealing) - Stop! - (Car rammed)

(Woman screams)

- What happened? - What happened?

What happened?

Look there!

I made a big mistake.

But I didn't do it deliberately.

It's my daughter's exams.

You didn't do anything at all.

And we didn't see anything.

You go away from here.

And don't ever come to this village again.

Thank you. Thank you very much.

We should be saying it to you.

Thank you.

(Balwant laughs)

Thank you. (Laughs)
