-Excuse me, sir. -It's amazing, Mr. Sehgal.

You and your daughter, Aarti, have the same birthdays.

-It's very rare. -Yes.

We both share the same birthday.

And every year, we celebrate it together.

How sweet! Where is Mrs. Sehgal?

Mrs. Sehgal...

-Shalu. -Yes, darling.

Some of our guests want to meet you.

-Hi, Anjali, how are you? -I am fine.

-You must meet. He is my brother. -Hello.

Swaraj and... Come here. Don't be shy.

Come here. Come here.

-He is my nephew, Jai. Isn't he handsome? -Oh, Aunt!

Wow! Who is she?

Aarti!

Friends, here's the most beautiful

wonderful daughter in the world.

My daughter, Aarti. Give her a big hand.

Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to dear Aarti Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday, dear Papa

Happy birthday to you

I love you, Papa.

I love you, too, my daughter. I love you.

-Oh, Papa! -Many, many happy returns of the day.

-Excuse me, Mrs. Sehgal. -Yes?

Looking at your figure, it doesn't seem like

you're the mother of a grown-up girl.

Who told you that I am her mother?

I am her step-mother.

But my sister loves Aarti more than her mother.

-Dad, aunt is a bit stupid, isn't she? -Not a bit. A lot.

Palankhet? You want to go to Palankhet?

What's so funny?

Aarti, people go to see America and Europe.

And you want to see a small hill station like Palankhet?

Yes, Aarti, why don't you go to Switzerland?

Because Palankhet is very unique.

-What's so special about Palankhet? -My mother's memories.

Papa, you had met my mother in Palankhet, right?

Look, Aarti, now Shalu is your mother.

Forget the one who's dead.

It's ok, darling. Let her go if she wants to.

And you're going to Germany for a few days, aren't you?

Yes. When do you want to go?

When are you going to Germany, Papa?

I am leaving tomorrow.

Fine. I'll also leave tomorrow.

But, Aarti, I can't let you go alone.

What will people say?

What kind of a mother am I to let my daughter travel alone--

-But I can go-- -Your mother's right.

-Gulab. Kamal. -Yes, sir.

Look, tomorrow, both of you are going with Aarti.

-To Switzerland, sir? -Not Switzerland, Gulab Singh.

What is the name of that place?

Palankhet.

The flight for Mumbai EWEE 431 is ready for take-off.

-Gulab Singh. -Yes, baby.

-Did you call Taj Hotel? -Yes, baby.

-Did you tell them to send a car? -Yes, baby.

-Has the car arrived? -No, baby.

Now, what do I say, baby? All the hotels here are useless.

-If we'd have been in London-- -But this is not London.

Now, will you both just stare at me, or do something?

I can see a taxi there.

If that leaves, we'll be stranded here.

-Gulabo. -Yes, Kamo.

She's right. Baby, stay put.

-We'll go and get the taxi. Come on. -Come on, let's go.

You stay here, ok?

Oh, God!

Raja Hindustani?

Raja Hindustani?

And the number's 420.

-Anyway. Why do we care? Come on. -Let's go.

Taxi driver? Taxi driver?

Hey, Mr. Taxi driver.

Lazy, taxi driver. These people are really lazy.

He's sleeping. Now what, Kamo?

I'll wake him up. Hey! Get up!

-Hey, what are you doing? -Who are you?

I am the cleaner of this taxi, Rajnikant.

"Rajnikant!"

Hey, pygmy. Wake up your driver.

-We want to go to Palankhet. -We won't go.

Hey, why not?

It is boss' nap time. Don't you know?

-It's his nap time, is it? -Yes.

Is your boss the sleeping beauty that he can't wake up?

Gulabo, get hold of one leg. I'll hold the other.

Let me see how he doesn't wake up.

Wake up! Hey, sleeping beauty! Wake up! Wake up!

Shut up, you idiot!

Hey, sleeping beauty! What do you think of yourself?

Who had the audacity to wake up Raja Hindustani?

-Not me, boss, they did. -Them?

Who called me the sleeping beauty?

Not me, boss, they did.

Them?

-Who banged my taxi? -Not me, boss, they did.

Oh, God! No, no, no!

Hey, hero, aren't you ashamed of hitting a woman?

A woman? She's a woman?

Of course. Can't you see?

And who are you, her sister?

How sick! I am a man. Gulab Singh.

She is a woman. Kamal Pasha.

Boss, everything's a mess here.

The man is feminine, and vice versa.

-Boss, don't you know that? -What?

Your lane is adorned

-Hey! -With golden lights

Your lane is adorned With golden lights

With golden lights...

Hey, shut up!

We want a taxi to take us to Palankhet.

Just tell me, if you'll take us there or not?

No.

-But why? -It's my wish.

-Exactly. -I don't want to go.

So how will we go, mister?

Carry your luggage and walk for 250 kilometers.

-Please listen to me. -I said no.

-Listen to me. -No.

-But listen. -I said...

Please. We are new here. And there's no other taxi around.

Please co-operate with us.

You can charge us. How much will you charge?

500 rupees?

Alright. How about 600 rupees?

Please?

Fine, you tell me. How much will you charge?

Boss. Boss!

-500 is more than enough, ma'am. -What?

Yes, ma'am. 500 rupees is more than enough.

I am from Palankhet as well.

Great, mister! You refused to go when we requested you.

But you agreed when madam asked you. Why?

Because, it's my wish.

-Rajni, get her luggage. -Ok, boss.

-Come, ma'am. -Come, baby.

Come, sit.

Where do you think you're going?

We'll be sitting with her.

No. Ma'am will sit behind comfortably.

Let's sit in the front.

No. Not in the front.

My cleaner, Rajnikant, sits in the front.

And while driving, I tend to kick or punch.

-So where will we sit? -Yes, where will they sit?

Ma'am, don't you worry.

I have a special air-conditioned spot for them.

-Air-conditioned? -Yes.

-Where? -On top.

-Oh, God! I think he'll kill us. -Sit tight!

I think he's insane!

Oh, my God! Help, baby!

-Please drive carefully. -Help! Help!

Help, baby.

Baby!

Boss, look ahead. Otherwise, there'll be an accident.

-Shut up. -Listen.

-Yes, ma'am. -How far is Palankhet from here?

In a bullock cart, it takes 28 hours.

In the run-down bus of the village, it takes five hours.

And in Raja Hindustani's taxi, it takes only three hours.

Raja Hindustani?

Your name's Raja Hindustani?

Yes, ma'am. Is it not good?

It's nice. But it's a bit different, isn't it?

Yes, ma'am. It's different. My name is different from the rest!

"Raja," because I am the king of my heart.

Nobody can rule me.

And "Hindustani," because

in this country, everybody is either a Hindu, Muslim

Sikh or Catholic. Some are Brahmins and some are Dalits.

But nobody is an Indian.

Anyway, I am an orphan, ma'am.

My parents died when I was a little boy.

Now, I am my motherland's child.

You are an interesting person... Raja Hindustani.

Aren't I?

Thanks, ma'am.

Baby!

Baby!

What's this?

What happened? It's an English song. People from the city like it a lot.

I don't like it. Stop it.

Ok, ma'am.

-I swayed and danced... -Amazing, boss!

Now, what's this?

Ma'am, this is a Hindi movie's hit song.

I don't like it. Please stop it.

Ok.

Why did you stop playing that one?

It's nice. Let it play.

Ma'am, that wasn't a cassette. I was singing.

-You? -Yes.

-You're a singer, too? -Yes, ma'am. I'm a really good singer.

Would you like to hear a song?

Ok. Sing.

You have entered my life like spring

You have entered my life like spring

Always dwell in my heart...

Always dwell in my heart as love

You dwell in my eyes as countless dreams

You dwell in my eyes as countless dreams

Always dwell in my heart...

Always dwell in my heart as love

You have entered my life like spring

All buds were veiled, untouched by color

All buds were veiled, untouched by color

The breeze was not delicate, Neither the fragrance was so elating

This time the season is so intoxicating

Boss!

This time the season is so intoxicating

Always dwell in my heart...

Always dwell in my heart as love

You have entered my life like spring

My heart was forlorn

The branches of desire had withered

My heart was forlorn

The branches of desire had withered

Holi was colorless...

And Diwali was gloomy

You have showered like a fountain of hope

You have showered like a fountain of hope

Always dwell in my heart...

Always dwell in my heart as love

You have entered my life like spring

You dwell in my eyes as countless dreams

Always dwell in my heart...

Look, ma'am, we have no booking in your name.

But how's that possible?

Our booking was confirmed for this hotel.

Gulab Singh, you had called them, right?

What is this? Why are you crying?

Baby, I did book the room.

But I booked one at Agra's Taj Mahal, not this Taj.

What?

What did you do? Have you lost it?

-Gulab Singh! -I am sorry, baby.

Sorry, my foot! Anyway...

book two rooms for us right away, please.

I am sorry, ma'am. A big conference is underway right now.

I am afraid, you won't find a room in entire Palankhet.

Tell me, what do we do now?

Don't worry, ma'am. I'll help you.

-Come with me. -Where?

A place, studded with not five, but countless stars.

Where you'll be served wholeheartedly.

Where people open up their hearts for you to stay, ma'am.

Raja, what kind of a place is this?

Come, ma'am.

Come, ma'am.

Look, ma'am. It's a beautiful place, isn't it?

What lies!

Baby, not even a blind person will call this junkyard a 5-star hotel.

-Hey! -Oh, hell! What a boring place.

Is this a hotel or a hermitage?

How can she stay here? Not even donkeys will stay here.

The donkeys can go back to where they've come from.

-Yes. -You Indian! You called me a donkey?

-Hey. -Baby.

Stop it. Stop it. Why are you guys arguing?

It's a nice place. Way better than that 5-star hotel.

-Raja. -Yes, ma'am?

Is this somebody's house?

Yes, ma'am. This is my uncle and aunt's place.

-Oh! -And this taxi, too, belongs to them.

I just drive it.

Are they related to you by blood?

No, ma'am. We share a close bond.

You know, ma'am, Indians get attached to everyone they meet.

Similarly, uncle, aunt and I are very attached to each other.

-Rajni. -Yes?

Go and tell uncle that ma'am is here.

-Hurry up. -Ok, boss.

-And listen. -Yes?

Tell them, that she has brought two maids as well.

-Ok. -What did you say?

-Baby. -"Baby!"

Shut up.

I have fallen in love I confessed it...

What happened? You cut yourself, didn't you? Show me.

-What are you doing? -What happened?

People say that if a tigress tastes blood

then she doesn't spare that person.

-Is that so? So I am a tigress? -Yes.

-And you are? -I am a fox.

Uncle.

Here you are.

Yes. Boss' here, too. And he has brought ma'am along.

Ma'am?

Raja and ma'am?

I have to see who's this lady that Raja has brought along?

Wow! You're very beautiful, dear. What's your name?

-Aarti. -What a beautiful name!

-Thank you. -Yes, it's a lovely name.

You can stay here as long as you want.

-No need to stay in a hotel. -That's so sweet.

-Come, dear. Welcome. -Come, ma'am.

-Rajni. -Yes?

-Go and bring the luggage. -Ok.

You are the maids. So go and help him. Go.

-What are you doing? -What? Maids?

-Come, ma'am. -Come on.

Stop. Just a minute.

I forgot.

She... she is my wife.

And this poor soul's my husband. He is fulfilling his duty.

Uncle and aunt tease each other a lot, ma'am.

Dear, why are you standing there? Come here.

-Hello. -God bless you.

What are you doing?

Dear, we consider guests as God.

And how can God enter the house without the veneration?

-Isn't it? -Yes.

Hey... Hey...

Hey, why did you pour water on me?

What can I do, boss? My hand got a sudden jerk.

Hey, the day my hands jerk, your head will spin.

I think your head has already started spinning.

What did you say?

Who were you looking at so early in the morning?

Oh, that? I was... I was looking at the dawn.

The sunrise is so lovely.

The sunrise? The sun rises in that direction, boss.

Who rose from this side?

Mind your tongue!

-You midget! -Sorry, boss. Sorry.

-Shall I beat you? -Don't, for the sake of your lovely dawn.

Alright. Go and wash the taxi.

Today, I have to take ma'am to the market.

Come, ma'am. Look.

Look at the Palankhet's taxi stand.

-This taxi stand-- -Hey, Hindustani.

She didn't come all the way from Mumbai to see the taxi stand.

Hey, plum-cake. This taxi stand is my livelihood.

If you say anything about it I'll change the design of your silly face.

-Kamo. -Hey, what's this?

-You want some? -Hey, what's going on?

Come on, Raja. Let's go somewhere else.

Alright, ma'am. If you say so.

But, ma'am, hang on.

You can't leave without meeting my best friend.

-Hey, Balle. Hey! -Who is it?

Raja, my friend!

Balle, my friend.

My brother, my friend...

My dear, my heart...

My corn bread

My mustard vegetable

My tandoori chicken

My buttermilk

Balle, my friend!

So cheap! So disgusting! Baby, just look at them.

Ma'am.

He's my friend.

Ma'am, he's my best friend.

The prime minister of the taxi union.

-President. -That's what I meant.

And, Balle, she is my ma'am. She's from Mumbai.

Hello. Come inside. Have some buttermilk.

Oh, no. Thank you. I have to go for shopping.

-Raja? -Yes.

I have to take ma'am for shopping.

Balle, till then you keep them company.

-I'll go with ma'am. -Baby!

Yes, both of you can stay here with Balwant, have some buttermilk.

I'll go and do my shopping.

-Let's go, ma'am. -Come on, Raja. Let's go.

-Bye, Balle. -Bye, Raja.

Don't you worry at all.

Who are you to ma'am?

Her bodyguard.

What a nice bodyguard! Come on, embrace me.

What are you doing? Let go of me!

Rascal.

-Hang on. -Let go of me!

He's fine. Let's do it once more.

Let go!

Something's not right.

Come inside. Come on.

Come, have a seat.

Barasingh, bring two glasses of buttermilk along with cream.

It's very hot. Take off your shirt.

-Let go! -It's so hot. Take it off.

-I can't. -Why? Let me help you.

That's strange. Men take off their shirts so easily.

And he's feeling shy like a girl.

Idiot! She's a girl. She's bound to feel shy.

You're a girl?

That's why the bells started ringing in my head when I touched you.

Beware! Don't call me a girl, got it?

-Hello? -Hello?

This is Aarti speaking.

-Tell me. -Please give the phone to Papa.

He hasn't returned from Germany yet.

-When will he return? -In a few days.

If he calls, tell him that I am not staying at the Taj.

I am staying with a very kind family. Their address is, 301--

Fax the address. Hello? Hello?

Hello? Hello?

What do I care if she stays at the Taj or any other place?

I disconnected the call.

You are an expert at feigning, Sister.

I have learnt it all from you, Brother.

Very good. If you continue to follow my advice

then one day you'll own, I mean, we'll own this entire property.

What about Aarti?

Aarti... I'm sure we'll find a way to get rid of her.

Ma'am, hang on. Just a minute.

Here you go, ma'am.

What's this?

-Keep it, ma'am. -But what's this?

Ma'am, all the shopkeepers give us a commission for bringing customers.

-I see. -This is my commission.

You keep it. It belongs to you.

No, ma'am. How can I take commission from your money?

Keep it.

-Are you sure? -What, ma'am?

-Sure? -Absolutely sure, ma'am.

-Thank you, Raja. -Happy thank you, ma'am.

-What? -Happy thank you.

When someone says "thank you," you should say "you're welcome."

-What, ma'am? -You're welcome.

-What? -Say, "you..."

-Goo. -No. Not that. Say, "you."

-You. -You...

Let it be. It's not possible for you, Raja. Let's go.

Not possible for me? How's that possible?

-Let's go, Raja. -Yes, ma'am.

"Thank you, Raja."

What did ma'am say?

You... You come... Yes! You come, come.

With the cap. You come, come, ma'am.

"Thank you, Raja." You come, come, ma'am.

"Thank you, Raja." You come, come, ma'am.

"Thank you, Raja." You come, come, ma'am.

Boss.

-What is it? -You're wasting your time. It's futile.

Hey, run along.

You're the one who has to run, boss.

Ma'am is asking for you.

Ma'am is asking for me? Wow!

Ma'am, did you want to see me?

Because of you, I got to stay at such a nice place.

You showed me the town. You helped me with my shopping.

And you didn't even take your commission.

Ma'am, this is my duty.

But you never took a penny from me. Why?

Ma'am, that can be taken care of later.

I am not going anywhere, and you, too...

You're here for a few more days, right?

I insist.

-Here. -But this is too much, ma'am.

I've checked the accounts with Rajnikant.

800 rupees for the taxi fare.

And 200 rupees as a tip.

Tip?

How can I take a tip from you?

Why not?

-I can't. -But why not?

You can take it from others, and not from me?

Are you feeling shy?

Is it less? Shall I give you more?

Keep it. Keep it.

Ok? You may go now.

Raja.

-Yes, ma'am? -Thank you.

You come, come, ma'am. You come, come.

You come, come?

Crazy.

Don't be scared. I am with you.

Let me. Hey, Raja.

What happened?

Come on. Let's go to the market.

-But I don't want to. -Why?

Hey, boss' not in a good mood.

He's not in a good mood, but the car's fine, right?

I told you, I won't go to the market.

Do you think you're doing us a favour? Haven't we paid the fare?

-Hey, fairy! -Hang on.

Ma'am has paid the fare. I am madam's servant.

I don't work for madam's servants.

-What rude behaviour! -You!

Hey, plum-cake and hard-nut.

Boss' one slap is enough to disturb your entire system.

-Shut up. -Hey.

How dare you touch Rajni!

-If I report this to ma'am then, you-- -Hey.

Are you threatening me? Go and tell your ma'am.

I am not scared of your ma'am.

-Really? -We're not scared.

-Rajni, let's go. -You're not scared?

-No? -I said no.

Hey, get lost.

Rajni, let it be. Come on.

Come on.

-Not like this. -Then?

What? Ma'am praises me?

Hey, are you pulling my leg or something?

-Oh, my God! I would never do that! -I swear, Raja.

Why would we lie? We don't want to suffer your wrath.

I swear on this little guy.

Hey, fairy, why are you swearing falsely in my name?

Forget about him. Listen to me.

-She talks so much about you. -Really?

-Where do I start? -What does ma'am say?

-She says that Raja is so handsome. -Handsome?

-Boss-- -Shut up! What else does she say?

She says Raja sings so well. His saunter's amazing.

-His smile is so mesmerizing. -Really?

-But unfortunately... -What?

Shall I tell him?

-Yes. -Tell me.

She says that Raja has all the good qualities.

But no class and no style.

What's that?

The way you walk, your mannerisms.

Your dressing sense.

-In short, you need to look like a hero. -A hero?

-Really? Does ma'am like it? -A lot.

-Fine. That's exactly what I'll do. -Yes.

-I'll wear nice clothes like a hero. -Boss.

Shut up!

But... I don't know how to.

How will I do all this?

-That's what we're here for. -We'll go to extreme limits for you.

-Boss! -You guys help me, ok?

Baby. Baby.

I have become a gentleman

I have become a gentleman

I look so wonderful as a gentleman

Look at my suit Look at my shoes

Like a foreigner from London

I have become a gentleman

I look so nice as a gentleman

Look at my suit Look at my shoes

Like a foreigner from London

Wow, hobo!

Wow, hobo! Jumping in your new suit

Wow, hobo!

Wow, hobo! Jumping in your new suit

The way a crow ties A peacock's feather on its tail

On its tail

On its tail?

What do you know How hard I have toiled?

What do you know How hard I have toiled?

You low-grade people won't understand The vision of a leader

You low-grade people Just won't understand

I have shed all my ignorance

I have become a gentleman

Attention!

Baby, did you see Raja's style?

-He's got class, right, baby? -Just like a hero.

What was that?

Raja!

Oh, my God!

Stop it. Enough jesting.

-Raja. -Shut up.

Raja, stop.

Hey...

Why did you have to behave so foolishly?

Because I am a fool, ma'am. I am a fool.

But let me tell you something.

As such, nobody can fool me.

But they mentioned you and I...

And I got fooled, ma'am.

No, Raja, you are not a fool. You're simple and innocent.

A decent man. Am I right?

It's futile, ma'am.

Decency has no value in this world.

Here, pure-hearted people have no value, ma'am.

Not at all.

You're right. Because pure-hearted people are priceless, invaluable.

Wow! What profound words!

I never looked at it that way.

Pure-hearted people are priceless.

-They're invaluable. -Just like you are.

-Me? -Yes, you.

Hang on, ma'am. Hang on.

Balle, give me 200 rupees. Quickly.

200 rupees?

-Keep all of it. -No, I just need 200.

Ma'am, take this.

-What's this? -Tip.

-A tip? -Yes, ma'am.

That day you liked what I said and gave me a tip.

Today, I liked what you said. So I am giving you a tip.

It settles the score. Take it, ma'am.

-But... -Please, ma'am.

Raja, thank you.

You come, come, ma'am. You come, come.

Tip!

-Ma'am! -What?

I have become a gentleman

I have become a gentleman

I look so nice as a gentleman

Look at my suit Look at my shoes

Like a foreigner from London

I have become a gentleman

I look so nice as a gentleman

Oh, Raja.

I like it. Let's tell her.

-What are you both doing? -Baby.

-Baby, this dress is so beautiful. -Please buy it.

-Oh, wow! -It's such a pretty dress.

-It'll look good on you. Please buy it. -Really?

-Please. -Yes, baby.

-Shall I buy it? -Yes.

-Really? -Yes.

You both stay here. I'll be right back.

It's too good.

Just too good.

I liked it at the very first sight, you know?

Hey, where's ma'am?

Why do you care? We're here to care for her.

Why do you care? Kamo, just ignore him.

How dare you hit us!

Hi, guys.

-Baby. -Baby.

Hello.

Beautiful!

-Oh, God! -How's my dress?

-It's beautiful. -Really?

You like it?

You're looking beautiful! Really!

I think Raja didn't like my dress.

-Shall I tell you the truth? -Yes.

-I didn't like this dress at all. -What?

I think you should get changed. It's not nice.

He's an illiterate fellow. What does he know about fashion?

Baby, don't listen to him.

-Let's go shopping. -Come.

-Come on, baby. -Let's go.

-Don't waste time. -Come, baby.

You're overthinking, Raja.

My dress is really nice. Come on.

Hey, gorgeous!

What a dress! It's so short!

You would've looked better without it.

-Hey! -Stop it!

Let them say whatever they want to. Ignore them.

You are so spicy

You are so spicy

Hey!

I told you.

Hey, gorgeous, want to join us?

No? Then let me join you.

You are so spicy

Raja!

Oh, my God!

Raja! I say stop it, Raja!

What did you say? What did you say?

How dare you hit Raja!

How dare you!

Raja!

-Balle, hurry up! -Raja! Raja!

Raja, no! No! No!

-Let him go! -Raja!

-Raja! -Let go of him!

-Leave him! -Raja!

-Let him go, Raja! -What did you say?

Raja! Raja! Have you lost your mind?

What if something had happened to him?

Were you trying to kill him?

What does he think of himself?

Let him come. I'll fix him.

Yes, ma'am.

There you are.

What was the need to do all that?

Why did you fight?

You created a scene for such a trivial matter.

Ma'am, you think it's a trivial matter?

Those goons were teasing you.

They were misbehaving. And you're saying it's a trivial matter?

So what? People will always have something to say.

You should have ignored them. This is common in cities.

This might be common in cities, ma'am, but not here.

This is Palankhet.

Here, women are respected.

And those who don't respect women

are beaten up and taught how to respect.

Really? So you want to reform the world.

Has the government appointed you?

Great! I fought for you and you're scolding me?

Listen to me...

I don't like it when you wear such clothes.

How dare you!

Who are you to tell me that?

Who are you? It's my wish.

I'll do whatever I want. I'll wear whatever I want, got it?

You're right.

Who am I?

Who am I to say anything to you?

You can do whatever you want.

And I'll do whatever I want.

Wear it. You can wear whatever you want.

You can wrap yourself in tatters.

And I'll continue beating them up.

Today, I've only broken his legs.

Tomorrow, I'll break his skull. I'll kill all of them.

-How dare you! -What do you mean, "dare you"?

I am not scared of anybody! Anybody!

Not even you. Yes, ma'am, not even you.

Raja!

Raja!

Raja!

Aarti.

Are you looking for Raja?

I know where he is.

Where is he?

You'll find him at his house.

His house?

Raja.

May I come in?

Who told you about this place?

Aunt. Aunt told me everything.

This is your house, right? Your parents' incomplete dream.

It's really nice.

-Why are you here? -To apologize.

Yesterday, I said a lot of things that I shouldn't have.

Please forgive me.

Who am I to forgive you? I have no right over you.

Are you upset with me?

Ok. Look, I am even holding my ears.

Please forgive me.

Raja, if you don't forgive me right now, I...

I'll cry.

Ok, I forgive you.

Strange! A moment ago, you were so upset...

and the next moment you forgave me? Why?

I can't see anybody crying.

When somebody cries... I end up crying, too.

Raja, you're too cute.

You're a darling. You're a sweetheart.

What's that, ma'am?

Sweetheart means... the most lovable.

Ma'am, do you know who is called that?

Yes. The one who's close to our heart...

who is dearer than our life.

The one who's your best friend.

-Me? -Yes.

-Me? -Yes, you.

Am I your best friend, ma'am?

Stop wasting time and come with me.

Today, I've decided...

to see the entire Palankhet.

Will you take me for the tour?

Yes, ma'am, definitely. Today, I'll show you the heaven.

Come, ma'am.

-Shall I open my eyes, Raja? -Not now, ma'am. Hold on.

-Where have you brought me? -Come.

Raja, shall I open my eyes?

Yes, ma'am. Open your eyes.

Wow!

It's such a lovely place, Raja.

Isn't it, ma'am? I knew you'd love this place.

Come, ma'am. Come, sit here.

This place is so lovely.

Perhaps, my mother and father met here.

What did you say, ma'am?

You know...

my mother and my father met in Palankhet.

Your mother? How is your mother, ma'am?

She is no more. She died while giving birth to me.

That's great! We both don't have mothers. We both are the same.

-Raja. -Sorry, ma'am.

I shouldn't have said that. I just said what I felt like.

This is the problem. I don't know how to talk. Darn it!

Who said that you don't know how to talk?

-You words are beautiful, Raja. -Really?

Ma'am, my words may be beautiful...

but you are more beautiful, ma'am.

-Me? -Yes, ma'am, you're really beautiful.

Raja, what's with the false praises?

Ma'am, I swear. I swear on Palankhet.

I haven't seen anyone more beautiful than you.

Why? What is so special about me

that somebody would call me so beautiful?

You're beautiful in every aspect.

Your tresses.

Ordinary.

Your eyes.

My eyes?

Hey, come here.

What's so special about my eyes?

Your eyes...

-My eyes? -Your eyes...

Go on. What's so special about my eyes?

Your eyes are like my taxi's headlights, ma'am.

What?

Oh, no.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Raja, you're crazy. You're a joker.

Ma'am, I don't know poetry. What can I do?

But I am telling the truth, ma'am.

There is no one more beautiful than you.

Stop it, Raja. If somebody hears you, he'll laugh.

I am not scared of anybody, ma'am.

I'll tell everybody. I'll tell the sky, the clouds, the hills.

Ma'am is the most beautiful!

Ma'am is the most beautiful!

I feel like fixing my gaze at you forever

Joker!

Be careful, ma'am. Careful.

Hurry up.

Hey!

What are you doing?

Why are you getting drenched in the rain?

Come here. Stand beneath the tree.

No, ma'am.

Are you crazy?

You'll fall sick. You'll get fever.

Come here.

I am fine here, ma'am.

Raja, if you don't come here right now...

then I will come there

No, ma'am.

Then come here.

Raja, come here.

Come on.

Come.

Give me your hand. Give me your hand.

Raja!

I am really scared of the thunder, Raja.

I am so crazy, aren't I?

No!

-Papa? -Aarti!

Papa!

Those foolish people must have told you that I've arrived.

That's why you came running through the storm to meet your father, right?

Yes.

My dear, I've come here to meet you.

I know you missed me, darling. I know.

Look, I've come directly from Germany to meet you.

I've not even been home.

Now we will go back together.

I'll take you home.

-We're going back? -Yes.

Raja.

Where were you?

I... I was stuck in the storm.

Good that you're here.

Quickly take out the taxi. Your madam is leaving.

Madam... is leaving?

Yes. Her father's here to take her.

They have to leave right now to catch the morning flight.

What are you waiting for?

Quickly take out the taxi.

-Put it down. -Oh, hell!

What are you saying?

Don't say that. Your daughter is like my daughter.

Thank you very much, ma'am.

You took great care of my daughter.

Thanks a ton.

Aarti.

Always be the way you are.

-Aarti. -I am going, Aunt.

No. Don't ever say that.

Say that you'll be back.

Come, dear. Let's go.

Why are you wearing goggles at night?

What happened?

Something is... hurting my eyes, Papa.

Don't worry. It must be the dust.

It will go away. Sit.

Come on, driver.

Come on.

Come on. We have to be at the airport.

Sit.

Move aside, darling.

Poor Raja.

So, Aarti, how have you been?

Ok.

What did you do for so many days?

Nothing special, Papa.

Look at this. My dear daughter is not in the mood to talk to me.

I will talk to somebody else.

Driver, what is your name?

Raja Hindustani.

Raja Hindustani. Wow.

It's a nice name.

Nobody can ever forget such a name.

How much do you earn?

It depends on the passenger, sir.

Somebody gives a lot.

While somebody gives nothing.

You have a way with words.

You drive well too.

There is a shortage of drivers in Mumbai.

Why don't you work for us?

We will pay you well.

And we'll give you a place to stay too.

Am I right, Aarti?

No, sir. I am fine here.

Why? What's the matter?

Are you married?

No, sir.

Why?

I still haven't found the one.

Strange.

You people live in a dream world.

As if you're going to find a princess.

Why not, sir?

I will.

I will find my princess.

Why is there a traffic jam?

Hey, what is the matter, sir? Why has everyone stopped?

It's just a landslide.

Come on.

Raja!

My friend, my corn bread!

Where are you going?

Where are you going with my special guest?

-How are you, ma'am? -Who is he?

Papa, he is Balwant Singh.

-Balwant Singh. -Yes.

-He is my father. -Greetings.

How are you? When did you come here?

Why is there a traffic jam?

That's a very long story.

The traffic jam is because of a landslide.

But we have to be at the airport by the morning.

No problem. It will only take a couple of hours.

I have a suggestion. There's an inn nearby.

You can have your dinner there.

Raja, take them to the inn.

We'll serve them buttermilk. Come on.

I don't say don't love

But don't trust

A traveler

Stranger, don't go

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Stranger, my beloved

Fulfill the oath

Never forget me

Stranger, don't go

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Stranger, my beloved

Fulfill the oath

Never forget me

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

I loved you

I sacrificed everything for you, beloved

I loved you

I sacrificed everything for you, beloved

I became a hermit of love

I didn't think, I didn't consider

I took the ailment of love

Stranger, my beloved

Do come back

Never forget me

-Stranger, don't go -Don't go

-Stranger, don't go -Don't go

Leaving me...

Leaving me...

Don't forget me

Don't forget me

Don't forget me

My memories will always torment you

I will remain awake And sleep will elude you

-My memories will always torment you -Torment you

I will remain awake And sleep will elude you

-If you leave me in this state... -If you leave...

I am telling you, You will regret it a lot

Stranger, my beloved

Don't make me cry

Never forget me

Stranger, don't go

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Stranger, my beloved

Fulfill the oath

Never forget me

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Wow.

There is such a pang in your voice!

It's said that heartbreak can't be heard.

But calamity follows in the wake of heartbreak.

It sets off a storm. A tempest rises.

Your voice is suffused with that pain.

Your voice is suffused with that love.

But listen, this world will not be fair...

towards your pain, your love!

You'll keep singing, keep suffering.

And they will just watch.

Sing for me.

And today, after ages, I will dance to my heart's content.

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Stranger, my beloved

Fulfill the oath

Stranger, my beloved

Do come back

Remember me

-Don't forget me -Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Aarti!

Hold it, Balwant. Hold it.

Aarti will never marry the taxi driver, Raja.

Don't say such bad things.

If I didn't like you, I'd have given you a tight slap.

And I'd have reduced you to a bad plight.

Conserve your anger. It will come to your aid later.

-This marriage is not going to happen. -It will happen.

-It can't happen. -Why not?

-It won't happen. -It will.

-No, it won't. -Want to bet?

-Ok. -Come on.

-Let's have an arm wrestling contest. -Come on.

-Here. -Come on.

Look... I am telling you again.

Once lovers hold hands, they don't let go easily.

Come on, let's wrestle.

-Alright then. -Alright.

-Come on. -Come on.

It's so hot.

It's so hot.

-You lost, Balwant. -Shut up.

You cheated. You conned me.

Like a tease, you tempted me.

You corrupted me. Why did you undo your buttons?

Because I was feeling hot.

What if I had undone my buttons?

Don't I feel hot?

Don't yell, mister.

If that's the case, let's have another go at arm wrestling.

I'll win.

-Really? -Yes.

Fine, let's have another dual.

-But this time it will be different. -What?

-Will you wrestle? -Wrestling?

You're scared, aren't you?

You got scared.

I am not scared. I am not scared of anybody.

-Then let's wrestle. -Ok.

-Ok? -Yes.

All the best. Come on.

Come on.

Wrestling between a male and a female. Come on.

Come on, Balwant.

Balwant, let go.

-Do you accept defeat? -Yes.

Will you dress up like a girl?

Ok.

-Will you marry me? -Ok.

Get lost.

My darling! I am breathless.

Raja! You will certainly get married.

You'll marry for sure!

Aarti has taken her decision.

And maybe you're awaiting my decision.

For the sake of my daughter's happiness, I give my consent.

But before they get married... I have some conditions.

Aarti won't live here.

And you will have to live with us, in Mumbai.

You... will adjust with us.

You will learn to be a part of our society.

And you will do exactly what we tell you to do.

-No. -What?

I will not go to Mumbai.

I will not learn to be a part of your society.

And I will not become what you want to make me.

I am the way I am.

And I will always remain so.

Did you hear that?

I want him to be a better person but he's refusing.

Yes, Aarti.

Are you listening?

Please listen to me carefully.

I will remain the way I am.

I won't change for anybody.

And if you still want to marry me...

now is the time to take the decision.

Aarti?

Are you really going away...

leaving your father behind?

I taught you to walk...

and today, you're walking away from me?

Don't go, Aarti. Come back.

Henceforth, this is my home, Papa.

Bless us.

Bless you? I can never bless you for this grave mistake.

Your marriage will never be successful!

You will never be happy staying away from me, Aarti.

You will never be happy.

Gulab and Kamal, let's go.

-Sir. -Yes?

Sir, I too will live here.

Sir, I am marrying Balwant Singh.

You are marrying Balwant Singh?

What about you?

Gulab Singh, have you also fallen in love with somebody?

Yes, sir. I have fallen in love...

with these lovely people.

Now I will live in this town. I won't ever leave.

All of you have gone crazy!

You will all suffer in the delusion of love.

You will all suffer. Let's go.

-Aarti. -Aarti.

-Aunt. -Aarti. No, dear.

Father didn't even give me his blessings.

So what, dear?

We will bless you.

Maybe that's why God didn't give me a child.

So that I can get you married.

Yes, my dear.

You have entered my life like spring

You have entered my life like spring

You have entered my life like spring

Always dwell in my heart...

Always dwell in my heart as love

You have entered my life like spring

You dwell in my eyes as countless dreams

You dwell in my eyes as countless dreams

Always dwell in my heart...

Always dwell in my heart as love

You have entered my life like spring

I never imagined that my daughter...

my only daughter, Aarti, would go against me.

That she'd humiliate me like this.

That too, for a taxi driver, a tourist guide!

No. This marriage is not possible.

Stubbornness runs in our blood!

I'll disinherit her from my will.

I won't give her a penny! Not a single penny!

My companion, my beloved

Always walk with me

My companion, my beloved

Always walk with me

The world might change, But you don't

Always fill the vermilion On my forehead like countless stars

Always fill the vermilion On my forehead like countless stars

Always dwell in my heart...

Always dwell in my heart as love

You have entered my life like spring

If I am upset, you appease me

If I am upset, you appease me

Once you've held my hand, Be with me all my life

Don't desert me after making Countless promises

Don't desert me after making Countless promises

Always dwell in my heart...

Always dwell in my heart as love

You have entered my life like spring

You have entered my life like spring

Always dwell in my heart...

Always dwell in my heart as love

You have entered my life like spring

No. I can't sign these papers.

I can never disinherit my daughter. Neither from my heart nor from my will.

Listen, you have prepared the documents yourself.

She is the apple of my eyes, Shalu.

How can I disinherit her?

-But what she did-- -I don't care what she did.

She is my child and I am the father.

She can give me the greatest of punishments

but I can't do this to her.

Even if she forgets me, I can never forget her.

-I am going to go meet her. -Where?

-At her new house. -I'll come with you.

You?

Listen, I am her mother.

So what if I am her step-mother?

I want to see her.

Alright.

Brother, look what's happening.

Relax. Relax, Sister.

-Brother... -It's ok, Sister.

You are her mother. So what if a step-mother?

You're craving to meet her, right?

Go and meet her.

Observe and understand.

Papa.

Hello, Aarti.

Hello, Mama.

Aarti.

Aarti.

Bye. See you soon.

Yes.

Take care, ok.

Bye. Bye.

Papa, wait!

You're so late. We waited for you.

-Guess who came to meet us! -Who?

Papa! Papa had come here, Raja.

He has accepted our relationship.

I am so happy today!

But... he didn't wait...

to meet me.

He waited for you, Raja. But you're late.

And he had to board the evening fight.

-Anyway, come with me. -Where?

Surprise. I want to show you something.

Come on.

Come, Raja. Hurry up.

Quickly. Come on.

What place is this?

Whose house is this, Aarti?

Ours.

Ours?

This is our palace.

You're the king.

And I am the queen.

Did you like it, Raja?

I don't understand.

Stupid!

It's a wedding gift to us from my father.

And you accepted it?

Without asking me? Why?

Raja, why are you getting annoyed?

Every father gives something or the other to his daughter.

-So he-- -I don't mind him giving it.

But I do mind that you accepted it, Aarti!

You traded my self-respect, my integrity...

my every quality that you ever loved, for this?

You want such luxuries...

and comforts in life, right? Then give me some time, Aarti.

I will toil hard and achieve everything for you.

You are mistaken, Raja.

I want all of this for you, not for myself.

I want you to get all the happiness and comforts in life.

-You want me to be happy, don't you? -Yes.

Then return this gift to your father.

And henceforth you won't accept any gift or any help...

from your father or any of your family members.

-Got it? -But why?

Because when two people of equal stature

give something to each other, it's called a gift.

But when a rich man gives something to a poor man...

that very "gift" is termed as charity.

It's called help.

And Raja doesn't accept charity from anybody.

-But, Raja-- -Enough!

Let's go.

Come on.

-I won't go. -Then stay here.

Let me send your luggage here.

I am leaving. You can stay here.

Raja!

You're leaving me?

I left the whole world for you. I left everything behind

-and you're leaving me? -Aarti.

-What do you think of yourself? -Aarti.

Just because you're a man, you can leave me whenever you want?

But where do I go, Raja? Where am I supposed to go?

When I entered your life, I had no way out of it.

Now, I've no other option but to stay with you or die.

Aarti, who said that I am leaving you?

I am not leaving you.

I am not going anywhere.

Please forgive me, Aarti.

I was upset, I shouldn't have said those things. Forgive me.

But, Aarti, I can't live in that house.

I can't live in that house.

I can give up on everything for you.

But listen to me carefully.

If you ever try to leave me again...

I'll kill myself.

What are you saying, Aarti?

Do you really love me so much?

Test me.

Spare me, ma'am. I've still not tested your love

and look what I am going through.

What would the people of Palankhet say?

That Raja gets beaten up by his wife.

Why are you lying, Raja?

-When did I hit you? -Really?

-I was just a little angry. -A little?

What do I do, Raja?

Whenever I get angry, I don't know what goes wrong.

Next time, if I misbehave, give me two tight slaps.

Really? Are you sure?

I am sure.

-Raja. -There's still one to go.

Raja.

Oh, God!

Aarti? Aarti, what happened?

-What happened to her? -Raja, what happened?

Baby! What happened?

-What happened? -Baby!

-What happened to her? -What happened to baby?

Oh, my God! What happened to her?

-Aarti. -What have you done to her?

-Raja, what happened? -Nothing, Balwant.

I just gave her a slap.

Just one? That's ok.

All men are the same.

May you rot in hell.

-Aarti... -Get lost!

Baby, please say something. What's wrong with you?

Ask...

What has happened to me

What fervor is this?

What intoxication?

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment

Of loving you, Raja

Ask what has happened to me

What fervor is this?

What intoxication?

Ask what has happened to me

What fervor is this?

What intoxication is this?

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you

Raja, why are you angry?

Why are you upset with me?

What audacity is this? My heart knows

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you

Be it thorns or buds

My joys lies only with my beloved

I want to walk with you

I want to burn in the fire of love

You can rip my heart

Your name is etched on it

What is this insanity?

Only lovers know that

Ask me what has happened to me

What fervor is this?

What intoxication?

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you

Where would I go without you?

There's no life without you

I feel like doing something

I want to cross the limits of love

I am not a coward

I won't break my promise

This love and quarrel Has a fun of its own

Ask me what has happened to me

What fervor is this?

What intoxication?

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you

Ask me what has happened to me

What fervor is this?

What intoxication?

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you

Silly boy!

-"Silly boy!" -Sister.

Brother, you scared me.

Sister, you have to be alert.

Otherwise, you'll be in rags instead of these fancy clothes...

with a bowl to beg for alms instead of this glass of wine.

Why, Brother?

The father and the daughter share a blood tie...

and that can never break.

Today brother-in-law has given the house to his daughter.

Tomorrow, he might give her his entire wealth.

But her stubborn husband has returned the house.

He has returned the house.

But he won't return the wealth, stupid woman!

After brother-in-law's death, Aarti will inherit all his wealth...

and then, that Raja Hindustani, a taxi driver, will rule over us.

What should we do, Brother?

To kill the snake, it's necessary to lure it out of its hole.

Do something that compels both of them to come here.

Then I'll launch such an attack...

it would put the devil to shame.

No, Aarti. I won't go to Mumbai.

If you won't go, neither will I.

But I am not stopping you, Aarti.

Look, Raja. Mother has written such a beautiful letter.

She wants Papa and I to celebrate our birthdays together.

Otherwise, Papa will be all alone.

But, Aarti, I'll... I'll feel alienated over there.

You go ahead.

Without you?

You want me to spend my birthday in a sad mood?

-No, but... -Then say "yes," Raja.

It's just for a few days.

Please, Raja. Please.

Ok, we'll go to Mumbai.

Thank you.

Raja, we're home.

My home, Raja. My home!

Papa! Papa!

-Aarti? -Aarti?

Oh, my darling. My sweetheart.

You're here.

Brother, didn't I tell you that Aarti would surely come?

-Of course. -Thank you, dear.

You kept my word of honor.

Where's Papa?

He isn't home. He'll be back soon.

Have you come alone?

-Is it? -Where is my son-in-law?

Oh! I left him outside.

-I'll go get him. -Let's all go and welcome our son-in-law.

Let's see how he is.

You don't have change? How is that possible?

You drive a taxi and you don't keep change?

Forget it. It's just a couple of rupees.

Well, it's money, isn't it?

Return my bill. I'll give you the change.

Do you think I am a fool?

Sir, you live in this huge mansion

and you can't even let go of 2.50 rupees?

Hey, I don't live in this mansion.

I live in Palankhet.

Come on. Return my money.

What happened, Raja?

What's the matter?

This man is a weirdo.

The taxi fare is 47.50 rupees.

I gave him 50 rupees.

And now, he wants to keep the change.

Let it be. It's just 2.50 rupees.

-Come on. -What do you mean?

Are you crazy?

It's my hard earned money. I drive a taxi too.

-But I've never cheated anybody. -Raja...

-I keep count of each penny. -Raja...

Give me my money.

Ok. Take your change and be happy with it.

Bloody beggar.

Hey! How dare you call me a beggar!

Dare you touch me! I'll report to the union!

Dare you hit me! I'll report to the union!

-You... -Let go of him.

-Jai, take him away. -What are you doing?

You got your money, right? Please leave.

That man is nuts!

He hit me for a couple of bucks.

He'll murder someone for a bigger amount. Send him back to his village.

Ok, I will. Please leave.

-What a pest, man! -Leave.

-What was my fault? -Stop it.

Calm down, dear.

-Aarti, Raja is really tired. -Yes.

-Take him inside. Get some rest. -Take him in.

Raja, why do you fight over silly things?

I didn't say anything wrong. He was cheating.

Brother, what sort of a man has Aarti married?

Sister, she has married the right man.

He is the right man.

Didn't you see how short tempered he is?

And it's very easy to provoke a man who's so short tempered.

Add fuel to the fire...

and there will be flames all around.

Happy birthday, darling!

-Thank you. -Love you, Sunil.

Raja!

Hurry up. The guests must have arrived.

-Aarti. -Yes?

-May I come in? -Sure.

Please come in. Tell me.

How do I tell you, dear? I can't even say it.

Tell me.

Aarti, I have a right over my son-in-law, don't I?

Yes, of course.

Aarti, I want Raja to wear these clothes for the party.

I got this suit stitched for him. Look.

This suit will look so good on Raja, right?

-But, he... -What happened, dear?

Don't you want Raja to be the best looking man in the party tonight?

-Yes. -Exactly!

But why did you take so much trouble?

Trouble?

It was no trouble, dear.

I am your mother.

I would do anything for you.

Don't tell Raja that I have given you this suit.

Otherwise, he won't wear it. You know how he is, right?

Then what should I tell him?

Come on, darling.

Every wife knows how to entice her husband.

Oh, yes!

Say that you bought this suit for him. Alright?

It doesn't matter who bought it. Whether you or me.

He won't refuse you.

Oh, my God. All the guests have arrived, darling.

I've got to rush.

-Both of you, quickly get ready. -Ok.

-Give him the suit. -Ok.

Waiting for you, doll.

Come soon.

Why are you sitting here? Get up.

Aarti, I don't feel like attending this party tonight.

What! Please hurry up and get dressed.

Quickly, get up. Come on.

Are you wearing this tonight?

Yes. I thought I'd wear my wedding attire tonight.

Wear this for the party.

-What's this? -It's a suit.

You'll look very good in it.

Everybody in the party would agree

that there's nobody more handsome than Aarti's Raja.

But where did you get this from?

This... I bought it.

But it must be very expensive.

So what? I've been fishing out of your pockets for so long.

Did you ever find out?

I bought this suit from that money.

Really? But...

Hey, enough of this.

Please wear it.

For my sake.

Fine.

Aarti, what took you so long?

Your father's waiting for you.

Come. Come.

Why do you seem so lost, dear son-in-law?

Come, I'll introduce you to some of our guests.

Me?

Are you feeling shy?

Do you know?

The crème de la crème of this city

is here for the party.

Come, I'll introduce you to them.

But if you take my advice

you better keep your trap shut in front of them.

You might spill the beans.

You understand, don't you? Come on.

Mrs. Chopra, you were asking about him, weren't you?

He is Aarti's husband... Raja!

And this is Mr. and Mrs. Chopra.

They are the owners of Lucknow Mills.

And this is Mr. and Mrs. Goenka.

You know, Goenka chain of hotels.

-Uncle, where's Raja... -Oh dear, where are you going?

Do leave your husband alone at times.

He's socializing. He is happy.

Let him be.

Really?

-What do you do, Mr. Raja... -Hindustani.

-Raja Hindustani. -Oh!

-Such an unusual name, right? -Right.

Raja Hindustani.

The owner of Hindustan & Hindustan Motor Company.

Hindustan & Hindustan Motor Company?

You haven't heard of it? Oh, my God.

He owns countless cars. Really.

I mean he doesn't know the count

-of how many cars he has. -What are you saying?

I am sorry, Raja. You're upset because I am speaking in English.

I must tell you one thing about... Sorry, Raja.

I am speaking in English.

-And he hates English. -Oh!

He says that only those people speak in English who...

What are you saying?

No, I have no problem with the English language.

The truth is that I don't know how to speak English.

And she thinks that the one who can't speak English is inferior.

Demeaning.

And unworthy of being a part of your society.

-Raja. -Please keep quiet.

Get one thing straight. I am not the owner of a motor company.

I am Raja Hindustani. Taxi driver and tourist guide.

-Oh, God! -Forget about countless cars.

I don't even own the taxi I drive.

It belongs to my uncle and aunt.

If you still want to talk to me, go ahead.

Look, please excuse me. Raja, come with me.

Raja, what the hell do you think you are doing?

What did I tell you? Keep your trap shut.

But why are you lying about me?

What else do I do? Go around telling the truth...

letting everybody know what your stature is?

What you actually are.

That a taxi driver is the son-in-law of our family?

You are shameless that's why you don't feel ashamed.

But listen to me carefully.

We are decent people.

We are tired of being embarrassed because of you.

Do you hear me?

Don't embarrass us more. Please.

Bubbles, darling!

Hey, Raja! Where are you going?

I am going upstairs.

Raja is wearing such a lovely suit.

Where did you buy it from?

Aarti bought this for me.

-Why are you laughing? -Yeah, why are you laughing?

Dad, what else do I do?

This is my suit. I've worn it so many times.

-It's yours? -Yes. Raja, I don't understand.

Why did Aarti lie to you?

Oh, I see.

Aarti must be feeling embarrassed.

Because Raja doesn't have good clothes to wear.

To make you worthy of this party

she has told you a small lie, dear.

Are you sure you're not lying to me?

Why would he lie?

Aarti is the one who's embarrassed. Better ask her.

What can we do?

Go and ask Aarti. Go on.

Ladies and gentlemen.

As you all know, today is my husband's...

and my dear daughter, Aarti's birthday.

What an amazing night!

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Raja?

Let's go, Raja. Come on.

Hey! Where are you taking me?

You have created enough of a scene, Raja. Let's go to our room.

No. Not in the room. Here, in front of everybody.

Whatever you want to say, say it in front of everybody.

-Enough concealment. -Raja.

Enough! Stop it now.

How dare you misbehave with my daughter!

-If you utter another word-- -You shut up!

Who are you to interfere between a husband and his wife?

You interfere a lot in our lives. You should shut up.

Raja.

Why are you embarrassing us in front of everybody? Why?

I am embarrassing you?

I am embarrassing you!

Now you're telling the truth.

Are you all listening?

They are all embarrassed of me. Do you know why?

Because an ordinary man... a cab driver...

has become the son-in-law of this rich family.

I am an illiterate man.

And everyone is ashamed to accept this illiterate man.

I pity them. They live for the fake pride.

Raja... Raja...

-You too are ashamed of me. -Me?

-Are you not? -No.

Liar! Cheater! Betrayer!

You too turned out to be like others.

What have I done...

that you're treating me this way?

Don't you know?

You lied to me.

To make me worthy of this so-called jamboree

you made me wear somebody's used clothes.

What?

Did you not do it? Tell me, did you buy this suit?

Raja, I lied to you because--

You lied to me, didn't you? You lied to me!

Raja, what are you doing? At least listen to her.

Aarti lied to you because--

Liar! Everybody is lying!

-Ask him. Is this not his suit? -Mine?

Didn't you go to him, to beg for me?

My suit? What nonsense, Raja!

When did I tell you that this is my suit?

Why are you lying?

Why are you embarrassing Aarti in front of everybody?

Liars! Liars! You all are liars!

-Stop it! -I will kill you! I will kill you!

Aarti.

Papa...

You tried to hit my father?

How dare you!

You truly are an ill-mannered and illiterate man.

You don't deserve to be a part of this society.

Today, I have realised that by loving you...

by marrying you, I have committed the biggest mistake of my life.

I have hurt everybody so much.

Leave! Get out of here!

Aarti...

I am not lying.

Let go of my hand.

I said, let go of my hand.

Oh, my God!

I shouldn't have said that.

Raja!

-Aarti! -Raja!

Where are you going?

Mother, he is leaving. I have to stop him.

Don't be foolish.

He misbehaved with all of us.

And you will go to mollify him?

Where will he go?

He will wander on the street the whole night.

And when he get sober in the morning...

he will come running to you.

-He won't come. -Aarti.

Listen to me.

If he... truly loves you... then he will surely come back.

-He won't. -He will.

-He won't, Mother. -He will.

He won't come back. He won't.

Raja.

Raja.

Aarti? What happened, my dear?

What happened?

Aarti?

What! I am pregnant?

Yes, Aarti. You are three months pregnant.

You are three months pregnant.

Papa, I will have to go to Palankhet.

I need to tell this to Raja as soon as I can.

-Dear... -Please.

No, Aarti.

You can't travel under any condition.

-What? -Dear, your condition is very delicate.

Look, any kind of mental or emotional stress can lead to a miscarriage.

You have to be very careful for the next six months.

Mr. Sehgal, she shouldn't travel at any cost.

Fine.

But, Doctor, you don't know how important it is for me to go.

-If I didn't go, then-- -I will go.

I will go.

Aarti, your mother's here for you.

I will bring Raja.

If he is upset...

then for the sake of my daughter's happiness

I will mollify him and bring him back.

-But he-- -Don't you worry.

I am here for you.

-I'll take care of everything. -Mother!

Everything.

Of course.

Look, Raja. What's done is done.

But you're at fault as well.

You shouldn't have left her there.

No matter how big the fight was

you shouldn't have left her there. I don't like it.

Uncle, I had already created a big scene

and things just deteriorated further.

I had consumed alcohol for the first time.

I don't know what all I did in my stupor.

Aunt, they provoked me.

-And Aarti-- -No, Raja. Don't you doubt Aarti.

After all, she is your wife.

And quarrels are common between husbands and wives.

That doesn't mean that...

Go. Go and appease her.

Aunt, she is really upset with me. She won't come back.

You fool. A wife's anger doesn't last for long.

She must be waiting for you.

Go, dear. Win her over and bring her back.

Aunt, she won't come back. She...

Look. You were just stuck in your thoughts...

and she's already here. Aarti!

Baby's here.

Where is Aarti? Did she not come along?

-No. -Why?

She will never come.

-What is this? -Read it.

What?

-This... -What is it?

This...

Divorce!

But why?

Everything is written in the divorce papers.

No.

Aarti can't do this.

She can't do this. I will go to her.

We will all meet her.

-We will go and explain it to her-- -No.

Nobody will go to her. Nobody will go to implore her for my sake.

What does she think of herself?

She wants to divorce me? Me?

Will she be able to live without me?

Fine. I too will live without her.

-Raja, what are you saying? -No, Aunt.

If any one of you go to her, I'll kill myself.

Hey! We have not come here to watch you create a new scene.

If you are so proud and if you hate Aarti so much

then sign on the divorce papers.

Go and tell that rich, spoiled girl

that marriage might be a game in her society...

which can be broken by signing divorce papers.

But in our society, we worship it.

After the nuptial rounds, this bond becomes unbreakable.

Even if we don't see each other all our lives.

Uncle?

Mother?

Papa...

He wants to divorce you.

Divorce?

Yes, Aarti.

Those are divorce papers.

He's even signed them. He wants to divorce you, dear.

No. Raja can't do this.

He can't punish me so gravely for such a trivial matter.

Mother, you said that you'd bring him back.

-You told me. -What could I do, dear?

I tried my best.

I implored him. I pleaded him.

I told him not to ruin my daughter's life.

But what could we do? He hates you.

Did you tell him that I am pregnant?

Yes. We told him countless times.

But he said such a derogatory thing, I can't even imagine saying it again.

What did he say?

Swaraj, what did he say?

He said, "abort the child."

Aarti, he can't do this.

He can't do this to you, Aarti.

He can do anything, Papa.

In his anger, in his obstinacy, he can do anything.

No, Aarti. He can't do anything.

As long as I am here, he can't do anything.

Congratulations, Papa.

What do you mean?

Did you forget your curse, Papa?

Curse?

Do you remember, Papa? I had asked for your blessings.

And you said that my marriage will never be a success.

that I'll never be happy by staying away from you.

-Your words have come true. -No, Aarti. I just...

No child can escape their parent's curse.

-Aarti... -But listen to me carefully.

I won't divorce him.

He wants to leave me.

But I will never leave him.

I will give birth to his child.

It's just that, I don't trust this world anymore.

Leaving me...

Stranger, don't go

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Stranger, don't go

Turning your back and breaking my heart

Stranger, my beloved Fulfill the oath

Never forget me

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Stranger, don't go

Turning your back and breaking my heart

Stranger, my beloved. Fulfill the oath

Never forget me

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Always dwell in my heart as love

You have entered my life like spring

You come to me with spring's blossoms

And in autumn, take flight like a bird

You come to me with spring's blossoms

And in autumn, take flight like a bird

You give tears to my smiling eyes

Even after making a promise, You won't return

Stranger, my beloved

Ages have passed

Never forget me

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Stranger, my beloved

Fulfill the oath

Stranger, my beloved

Do come back

Never forget me

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Raja!

I am still young...

I am still young...

I am still young

-Who is she? -Shalu.

-Really? -You flirt! She is Madam Shalu.

She is Aarti's step-mother.

-Step-mother? -Yes.

Is this how mothers are?

Madam! Greetings.

-Hello, madam. -What are you doing here?

I have come for a tour of Mumbai.

He is my husband, Balwant Singh. Greet her. Touch her feet.

Greetings!

Balwant, get up. What are you doing?

Such a fool!

I was just seeing how rich people look like.

Good God! Bloody villagers!

-"Villagers!" -You fool! What were you doing?

Shut up! You served them for so many years.

Won't you give me a chance?

-I will teach her a lesson. Madam! -Balwant, stop!

-What is it? -You are so lovely.

-Kamal, tell him to stop this. -Balwant.

Let me be. Madam is very pretty. Let me serve her.

Stop it. Why have you both come here?

Madam, we're here to meet Aarti.

What happened between Raja and her that--

Why do you care? She doesn't want to meet you.

She hates you all.

She wants to forget you all.

-I don't believe you. -Shut up. And get out of here.

And don't you dare come here again. Got it?

Enough! Goodbye. Let's go.

-No. Balwant, listen to me. -Come on.

-Balwant. -Come on.

-Balwant. -Come.

-Balwant, wait. -What happened?

Balwant, look over there.

Oh, my God! I can't believe my eyes.

A baby.

Yes, Raja. We saw a baby in her hands.

Your child is really sweet, Raja.

Why did Aarti hide such a major thing from us?

It is your child. Yet, we don't know about it.

It is your child. We saw it ourselves.

My child?

My child.

God, today is Karva Chauth.

And like every married woman, I too pray.

That no matter where my husband is...

may he have a long and happy life.

-Papa! Papa! -Aarti, what happened?

Papa, Raja was here. He took my child.

-What? -He took my child.

I had told you.

I had told you. He can do anything.

-He abducted the child. -Brother-in-law.

Take care of Aarti. I will call the police.

-Let's go, Jai. -Yes, Dad.

-What are you doing? -I am calling the police, Dad.

Dad!

You are a fool. You can't be my child.

But, Dad, you said--

Listen. Appearances are deceptive.

-We won't get a better chance. -What?

-Let's kill Raja and his child. -Dad?

Listen. Nobody will doubt us.

Aarti will be set free. Then we will get you married to her.

And brother-in-law's wealth will be mine.

-And listen. -Yes.

-Don't mention this to your aunt. -Why, Dad?

-She's a fool. -Ok.

I know that some day she will get us into trouble.

But eventually, we'll get rid of her too.

Dad, you are a genius.

You are a genius.

-Now we have to locate Raja and the child. -Ok.

Brother-in-law.

The police wants to know where Raja could go with the child.

Palankhet.

Look at the flowers. You should scold the gardener.

-Shall I become the gardener? -No.

Aarti?

What's the matter, dear? What happened?

My child.

My child...

No, Aarti. What happened was not right.

No matter how big the fight...

you shouldn't have broken the relationship.

After all, what went so wrong

that you wanted to divorce Raja?

What do you mean, by that, Aunt?

I never wanted to break the relationship.

I was pregnant, Aunt. I couldn't even travel.

And Raja wanted me to abort my child. He hates me so much.

Aarti, what are you saying?

That's a grave allegation against Raja.

I admit that he is stubborn and orthodox.

But he's still in love with you, Aarti.

Yes.

Your mother...

and your uncle had come here with divorce papers signed by you.

Ask your mother. Aarti, ask her...

whether she had come here to break the relationship or not...

I didn't do anything.

-Tell me the truth. -No.

-Tell me. Otherwise I will whip you! -No!

-Tell me! -I'll tell you.

Raja didn't sign the divorce papers.

Brother did.

Raja didn't want to break his relationship with Aarti.

We wanted to destroy Raja and Aarti's family.

Why?

To have a control over your property and your daughter.

You destroyed my daughter's family for the property?

I won't spare you!

-I won't spare you! -No, Papa.

-No. -Aarti.

-No, no. -You want to save her? Her?

She broke up your family.

No, Papa. I am responsible for it. It's nobody's fault.

But, Mother, let me tell you something.

I am a motherless child. I trusted you blindly.

Because I considered you my mother.

And a mother holds the highest position in the world.

Don't mess around with somebody's life in the name of motherly love.

Otherwise, nobody will ever dare to trust a mother, Mother.

Forgive me. Please forgive me, Aarti.

Aarti, there is still time.

Tomorrow, Raja will come home with his child.

-We will unite you both, right? -Yes.

Raja.

Raja's here. Aarti, Raja's here.

He has the child.

But you won't go to him. You won't go now.

First we will meet him and reason with him. Then you'll go to him.

Please ensure that she doesn't go to him.

-Aunt! -Raja.

My child! This is my child, Aunt!

Raja!

-Raja! -No!

-Baby! -Wait, Raja!

No!

-Wait! -Listen...

Raja!

Nab him!

Kill him!

What are you waiting for? Kill him!

No!

Raja! Raja, I am with you!

Beat these scoundrels!

I am with you! Beat them!

Rascal! You destroyed my daughter’s family!

No, Uncle!

Raja!

Stop!

No...

-Let my son go! -Swaraj!

No! You have threatened me enough!

You have scared me enough. And I endured everything.

I lived under your roof

and slyly broke up your daughter's marriage.

Yes! I destroyed your daughter's family!

I made her life miserable.

Otherwise, someday you would have

given all your wealth to your illiterate son-in-law.

What would I have got?

Now that you know the truth, listen to me.

I am going to bury your grandson in a barren land.

-Please don't. -Alright, then listen to me.

Give me all your wealth!

Jai, come on!

Come on, Jai.

-Hail the Lord! -Hail thy name!

My child.

You wanted to bury my child?

Let go of him!

Mr. Sehgal! Please save my father!

You wanted to bury my child?

Raja, stop it! Or else, he will die!

No, Raja!

Raja!

Aarti, stop him!

Raja, listen to me.

Raja, listen to Aarti.

Raja, listen to her.

No. Today, nobody will say anything.

Today, only Raja will speak and Aarti will listen.

Aarti will speak and Raja will listen.

Raja, it's our fault. We didn't trust each other.

And we trusted the world.

The flaw lies in our relationship.

It was weak enough to be broken so easily.

How could I believe, that you don't love me and that you hate me?

And you?

How could you believe that I would betray you?

And that I would hide the fact that we have a child?

Believe me, Raja. I never said those things.

Do you still not trust me?

Fine.

What do you want, Raja? That I should leave you?

I will leave. You want the child, Raja?

You can keep the child with you forever.

I will endure everything, Raja.

But I can't endure your distrust and hatred.

Just remember one thing, Raja.

I have always loved you.

And I'll always love you.

Raja, stop her. Baby, don't go. Baby...

Papa, let's go.

Come.

Balle, do something.

Baby...

Stranger...

-Stranger, don't go -Don't go

-Leaving us -Leaving us

-Stranger, don't go -Don't go

-Leaving us -Leaving us

Stranger, don't go

Leaving us...

Stranger, my beloved

Fulfill the oath

Never forget us

Stranger, don't go

Leaving me...

Leaving me...

Leaving me...

Leaving me...

Raja!

Raja!

Ask me what has happened

What fervor is this?

What intoxication is this?

Ask me what has happened

What fervor is this?

What intoxication is this?

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you

Ask what has happened to me

What fervor is this?

What intoxication is this?

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you

This is the punishment of loving you
