"It's not your cup of tea, Dad." " Why not?" "This is what I've been doing for the last forty years." "Forget it!" "How can you compare your petty 9 to 5 job.." "..with the workload of a multinational corporation like ours?" "In your generation, there was no competition or stress." "But we've got to stay awake each night to survive." "So you think things were very easy for us?" "That we didn't have any stress in our lives?" "Of course we did." "But despite that, we gave the best to our work.." "..we worked hard for a living, earned respect." "I brought up four sons to lead a life with their heads held high." "Yes, Dad." "But you will have to admit.."

"You're concerned about your enjoyment.." "..and it has ruined our sleep!" "I told Kiran to go to bed." "But how could she sleep?" "After all, she's a mother." "Why would your mother worry about us?"

"It's your turn now to welcome mom and dad." "Karan, what are you reminding me for?" "This situation is causing daily fights in my family." "Hello!" " Pooja." "You?" "My respects!" "How are you?" "You're calling after a long time." "I hope you're well." "Yes, I'm okay." "I was ill for a few days, but I'm all right now." "I know why you must've been ill." "You must've been lax and had something cold to drink." "You probably didn't take your medicines either." "I've told you so often.." " Can I say something?" "Now listen." "What's the day after tomorrow?" " Our wedding anniversary." "Yes." "Our wedding anniversary." "Would you like to meet me?" "Now listen carefully while I explain." "You and I are leaving our respective places tomorrow." "In a matter of five minutes.." "..our trains will cross the Vijaynagar Station." "Whoever gets there first will wait for the other." " But.." "No if and but!" "We're meeting the day after." "Just wait for me, okay?" "Okay." "Bye." "Grandpa." "Can I say something?" "Yes, son?" " Please don't come back here ever again." "What's this?" "A small gift for you." "You are the world's greatest grandma." "Thank you, dear." ""He's a jolly good fellow!"" " Thank you." ""He's a jolly good fellow!"" " Enough." "I must leave now, Hemant." "I would have been so lonely without you." "Me too." "Thank you very much." " Please don't say that." "You're the one who says such things." "You don't realise what you mean to me." "In you, I found an elder brother." "You know what that means?" "It means shelter." "And only someone who doesn't have any shelter.." "..can realise what it means." "Here you are." "What?" " No way!" "I know you're too proud to accept any charity.." "..but this is your hard-earned money." "You have maintained our accounts and this is the payment." "Go now or I won't bear to let you go." "People are watching." " Let them watch." "What will they say?" "They'll say that though we're old, our love is still strong." "Pooja." " Yes." "These six months without you felt like six lifetimes." "I had forgotten what it feels like to really breathe." "See!" "One look at you and my heart is beating again." "You flatter very well with your words." "Not just words, but with love." "Here you go!" "Congratulations on our wedding anniversary." "To you too." "But I have nothing to give you." "You do, Pooja." "Take back that oath which compelled us to live away from each other." "Tied in that oath, we have suffered for six months." "Release me from this oath." "There you are." "Thank you, boss." "Come on." "Over there." "The waiting room." "Let's go." "What will we do there?" "We'll leave our luggage there, go out for a walk and celebrate." "Celebrate?" "You forget?" "What does the sign say?" "Vijaynagar." " Yes!" "This is the city where we had started our lives together!" "We got married here!" "Come on." "But our trains?" "We'll think about that later." "Come." "Hello!" " Karan, where have you been?" "I've been trying to reach you all morning." "But I've not been able to get a hold of you." "Is mummy there?" "No!" "I've already been to the station thrice." "I wonder where she has gone." "Has dad come there?" "No." "And that's why I'm so worried." "I called Ajay and Sanjay." "Both mom and dad have left." "I wonder where they've gone." "They are really.." "Forget it." "Trouble-free for a day." "Today you'll wear a tie, won't you?" "No, I'll have it put on." "For this very moment, I.." ""To the gardens you have brought spring.""

"Shanti." "You're crying?" " Yes." "When you read this, you too, will cry." "What's written in that?" "It isn't written, Hemant." "He has bared his heart." "To be honest, only a man who starves for his wife can write this." "A man who falls ill, thinking about her." "Only he can feel like this." "When you expect love, you don't find it." "When you get an abundance of love.." "..in a place that you least expect it from.." "..you don't know how to handle it." "I must say something." "One must never place one's hopes on anyone." "When hope is crushed, it causes a lot of agony." "True." "So, let's go to the station, pick up our luggage.." "..and head for our destination." " Yes, that's what we'll do." "Go to the station, pick up our luggage.." "..and head not for two different destinations, but one." "Yes, Pooja." "No power can separate us now, except death." "We are one, and will live together." "But where will we go?" "Wherever life takes us." "Over there for now." "To have an ice-cream?" " I'm wearing a tie after months." "So let me sweeten my tongue." "Let's go." "My chocolate ice-cream is delicious?" "Yours?" " Very nice." "Nuts." "Chocolates." "Yours is just plain." "What are you looking at?" "It's a dream that was never fulfilled." "You know, when we were newly married.." "..I had dreams of owning a car." "That I'd return from the office.." "..honking away at the gate, and you'd come running." "I'd take you by the hand and we'd go on a long drive!" "Then we'd stop somewhere and have some snacks and ice-cream.." "..but our dreams remained unfulfilled in trying.." "..to fulfil our children's dreams." "But never mind." " Good morning, sir." "Good morning." " What do you think of this car?" "We don't want to buy it." "We were only looking.." "Sir." "I'll give you the catalogue with its features." "Please come." "I told you we don't want to buy a car." "Why not take it for a test drive?" "Test drive, please." "Try it, sir." " We'll check it out." "Okay." "Try it." " Thank you." "Come, ma'am." "Hold this." "So what do you think of the car, sir?" "It's really a wonderful car." "So, let's go inside." "I'll give you more information." "I have already told you that we don't wish to buy the car." "I'm not in a position to buy it." "A car is no big deal nowadays, sir." "Think about it and you have the keys." "I'll try and arrange a loan for you." " You're badgering us." "I told you we don't want the car." "I can't afford it." "We don't have the money to buy it." "In that case, why did you sit in such an expensive car?" "Get lost!" " Hey..what are you doing?" "What kind of misbehaviour is this?" " Father." "Alok!" "Son!" " My respects!" "When did you come?" " Alok." "One second." "Alok, listen to me.." " Sorry, boss." "You know whom you just pushed?" "Sorry, boss." " It was my father!" "Let him go, son." "Alok." " My respects." "Where have the two of you been?" "Ever since I've come to India, I've tried calling you.." "..but was unsuccessful." "I couldn't resist.." "..so I went to your house, but I found it locked." "Even uncle's house was locked." "I was so scared." "I used to call daily.." "..and pray that God would bring me to my father and mother." "He heard my prayers." "So now you must come home with me." "Someone's waiting for you." " Let's go." "We'll chat over there." " Okay." "Let's go." "Arpita!" " Yes?" "Arpita!" "I'm coming." "What is it?" "The Gods you worship everyday.." "I've brought them with me." "Mother, father." "My respects." " Bless you!" "You took so long to give me your blessings." "We have everything here, but it felt so incomplete." "Today, you have given me everything." "My family is complete." "What?" " The auspicious gift." "Here you are, dear." "It's an auspicious gift." "Keep it." "Take it." "It's God's gift." "No, Shanti." "They haven't come to ask us where their parents are." "They've come to find out whether we're alive or dead!" "And if we're dead, then who will cremate us?" "And unfortunately, if they're alive, then who will have them treated!" "Hemant.." " Please!" "Please don't call me brother." "Don't try to forge a relation with me." "The one you shared a blood relation with.." "..you drove to shed tears of blood." "That poor man used to hide there and weep in misery." "Listen to us.." " Please go away." "If you weren't my nephews, then I'd have had you thrown out." "You have committed a sin by separating your parents at this age." "Maybe God will forgive you for this, but I never will." "Remember, you have made your parents cry." "One day, your children will make you weep." "How they harassed brother, Shanti." "If this is how children behave, then I'm glad we don't have any children." "We don't want any." "We don't want any." "Shanti." "Leave all this." "We must set out immediately to look for brother." "That's all right, but where will we go?" "One minute." "Maybe he has gone to his house." "His house?" " Yes, his old house." "I saw the address in his file." " So where is it?" "Kapil and Nili took the file away to read it." "So call them and send for the file." "I'll call." " That isn't just a file anymore." "Who's that?" "It's about to become a beautiful book." "Uncle, this is my papa." "Oh, hello!" ""You are our father, our mother."" ""Who else will I seek shelter with?"" ""Who else will I seek shelter with?"" ""There is no one except You, oh Lord."" ""There is no one except You, oh Lord."" ""On whom I pin my hopes."" ""Glory be to You, oh Lord."" "Father?" "Mother?" "Hello." "Are the two of you going out?" "No, Arpita." "It's an old habit with father." "He bathes and gets ready every morning." "Right, Dad?" "Yes, son." "But it's because of a necessity today, not due to my habit." "It's time for our train, son." " Train?" "Where are you going?" "We're going home, son." " But this is your house too, Dad." "Yes, Dad." "I've always had a dream.." "..of a small house, where my parents are with me." "I want to live this dream which I couldn't fulfil till today." "That will surely happen, son." "But we've got to leave now." "We've got to go back to our course in life." "Dad, for a few days, please." "Mother, please tell him." "For a few days more, please?" "I promise." "I will be back." "I too wish to stay with a son.." "..who takes his father to be his God." "You are really my God.." "..who has come into my life as my dad." "You held the hand of a child that no one wanted." "Who neither had a name, nor, nor an identity." "He was like a lifeless stone on the streets." "He would've been rendered to dust under trampling feet.." "..had you not extended your protection." "This life of mine is a gift from you, Dad." "I'm not leaving you, son." "It's only for a few days." "All right." "I will not turn down your pleas." "But you will have to listen to what I have to say." "You will, won't you?" " All right." "Promise?" " Promise." "Your daughter-in-law and I have bought a small gift for you." "No, you will not refuse." "You promised you won't turn me down." "Come with me." "Come, mother." "Father." "What do you think of the gift?" "Son, what have you done?" "It's nothing, Dad." "Bless you, my son." "Thank you." " Bless you." "Raju?" "They're here?" "Come to me!" "Brother Raju!" " Ram Avtar!" "It's months since I've been waiting for you!" "They and me." " They've recognised me!" "I knew the king had to come back from his exile." "Go inside and take a look." "I've preserved your house and your memories." "All right." "Look who's here." " Sister-in-law!" "How have you been?" " God is kind." "Recognise me, uncle?" "Alok." "Alok." " My respects." "Hey!" "Alok." "But you were staying abroad!" " He's here now." "And he has become a very big man!" "Touch his feet, daughter-in-law." " My respects." "Arpita!" " Bless you, daughter-in-law." "Go and rest, sister-in-law." "I'll bring some tea for you." " Yes." "Come, child." "I'll show you your in-laws' house." "Come on, Alok." "You know what's the best part, uncle?" "You haven't changed, nor has this house." "Not even the atmosphere in this house." "Even you haven't changed, son." "Though you're a bit taller." " A bit.." "We're home at last." "We are, but how are we going to manage it?" "Do you trust me?" " More than I trust myself." "You love me?" " More than you do yourself." "So what's there to worry about?" "When you're with me, I can win the whole world." "Come, let's step into the house." " Brother!" "Hemant!" "Hello!" " Hello, Shanti!" "Pooja, come here!" "Hemant, my companion in lonely times." " Hello." " Hello." "Now I know why brother was so sad in your absence." "The moment I saw her, I knew she was sister-in-law." "In 'Baghban,' he has so often spoken about her beauty that.." "How did you know about 'Baghban'?" "I see!" "So I left it at your place." " Yes!" "Isn't it great that you forgot it there?" "London's New Wave Publications have decided to publish it!" "What are you talking about?" " Here's the advance." "A cheque of a million rupees." " A million!" "A million?" "A million?" "Yes!" "Pooja!" "It's a million!" " A million." "Wow!" " What's that about a million?" "My book is getting published!" "Don't tell me!" " Yes!" "Have you read the news?" "Dad's book has been acclaimed as.." "..the bestseller in the international market." "Dad's rolling in millions!" " So what, Karan?" "We aren't getting a penny." "All thanks to our elder brothers." "Why?" "What have we done to them?" "You must've done something." "That's why they went away instead of coming to us." "This is no time to fight amongst ourselves!" "She's right." "This is the time to pacify them." "Yes." "We must go to papa and make amends with him." "It'll make no difference." "They won't agree." " Why not?" "We're their children." "And no parents can be angry with their children forever." "We'll apologise if we have to." "Yes, we'll grovel before them." "Let's see how they don't agree." " Right." "We mustn't delay it anymore." "Let's leave immediately." " Come on." "Yes, let's go." "Payal!" "Get ready quickly." "We're going to meet grandpa and grandma." "Rahul!" "You too!" "Come on." "Get ready." " You are all so disgusting!" "You're not going to them to apologise.." "..but to get your hands on their money!" "Rahul!" " We've seen them through their troubles." "Not anymore!" "We're not going." "Come, Rahul." "See the magic of your brimming rose garden, Mr. Malhotra!" "It's all thanks to the kids and you, Mr. Verma." "I never expected such a tremendous response." "Response?" "The first edition has sold like hot cakes." "The second one is in press." "And this is all yours." "What's this?" " Just keep collecting it." "There's no saying how much more 'Baghban' will make." "We're holding a function next week in your honour." "Please attend." "And bring your family along too." "Welcome, sir." "Your invitation, sir?" "Raj Malhotra." "We're his sons." "Please come in, sir." "Over there?" " First table on the right." "Come." "Wow!" "Look!" "Dad.." "Ladies and gentlemen, 'Baghban' needs no introduction." "That its author has been honoured with the Bookers' Award.." "..speaks volume for its success." "Before I ask Mr. Malhotra to shed some light on 'Baghban'.." "..I would like his son to say a few words about his father." "I therefore request to come on stage.." " All the best." "Mr. Alok Raj." "Mr. Alok." "Please." "Good evening." "You must've heard people saying that no one has seen God." "That it's a matter of devotion, faith, and one's belief." "But I can tell you that I have seen God.." "..in flesh and blood, smiling and laughing in every joy.." "..in every sorrow, in every test, and every situation." "That's none other than my father." "I was an orphan." "I had never seen my parents." "Nor had I experienced their love." "But I can tell you with confidence, had they been here today.." "..they couldn't have given me the love and affection.." "..that I received from my father." "I have gotten so much from my father.." "..that I can't ask him for anything more." "But of God, I seek one thing." "In His world, He must continue.." "..to make people like my father." "That's it." "I have nothing more to say." "Please come here, Dad." "Ladies and gentlemen.." "..I hope you don't believe everything you heard about me just now." "Alok praises me so much because he loves me very much." "And he doesn't love me because I'm a very good human being.." "..or because I have several virtues." "He loves me because he himself, is a very nice boy." "Actually, I am not a writer." "Writers are those that plunge deep into the ocean of knowledge.." "..and come up with rare gems of literature." "I have only written what life has taught me." "'Baghban' is not about me or any other individual." "It's a book explaining the conflict.." "..between the past and the future." "It's a book about a generation gap." "It's a book about the now weary shoulders.." "..on which some children had once sat, to see the world." "It's a book about trembling hands." "Hands that once held children.." "..as they taught them to walk." "It's a book about the parched lips.." "..that once sang sweet lullabies.." "..which have now been silenced." "Times have changed." "Life has changed." "If people of my generation will recall.." "..we were always caught up in relations and ties.." "..that yielded nothing." "Our father was God." "At our mother's feet lay heaven." "And now.." "..people have become very sensible." "The new generation is very clever and practical." "For them, every relation is like a ladder.." "..which they use to get themselves further." "But when they have no further use of this ladder.." "..along with the other broken furniture in the house.." "..old vessels, old clothes, and newspapers.." "..they dump them in the attic." "However, life is not like a ladder." "Life grows like a tree." "Parents are not the steps on a ladder." "Parents are the soul of one's life." "Regardless of its size and fullness.." "..a tree can't stand on its own once its roots are uprooted." "With humility and respect, I ask those.." "..children for whose happiness.." "..a father spent every penny of his hard-earned money with a smile.." "..those very children, when the father's eye-sight weakens.." "..why do they hesitate in giving him light?" "If a father can help his son to take the first step in his life.." "..why can't a son give his father support when he's taking.." "..the last few steps of his life." "What crime have parents committed, who have devoted their entire life.." "..to their children, that they live with tears and loneliness?" "If they can't give us any love.." "..then who gives them the right to snatch our love from us?" "What do these children think?" "Can the parents that God has united in love.." "..be separated and forced to lead a life of sorrow?" "A man has children to live for this?" "Children perhaps forget.." "..that our present will be their future." "If we're old today, they will also grow old someday." "The questions we ask today, they will ask tomorrow." "As for me.." "..please don't worry about me." "Because if I am capable of bringing up my children.." "..helping them become able and independent.." "..then I am capable of taking care of myself too." "I don't expect anything from anyone.." "..because I am very fortunate." "I am fortunate because.." "..life has given me a companion.." "..with whom I walk and who has made my path is easier." "Together with whom my hardships were always overcome." "And that companion is my wife." "People often fall in love." "However, they don't express it as often as they should." "I wouldn't want to make a mistake like that." "Pooja." "I love you very much." "I love you very much." "Thank you for being with me." "I exist because you do." "And there's everything if we are together." "Else, there's nothing." "Nothing." "That's all I wanted to say." "Dad." "We're sorry." "Please forgive us, Dad." "Excuse me." " Mr. Raj." "Sir, where did you get the inspiration for 'Baghban'?" "Have you written anything before this?" "Sir, what would be your reaction had 'Baghban'.." "..been from personal experience?" "Those children who don't love their parents.." "..who don't give them shelter.." "..who don't respect them.." "..I'd never forgive them." "I'd punish them." "I'd disown them." "Mama, a mother always forgives her children." "Won't you forgive us?" "Please?" "Yes, as a mother, I could forgive you." "But as a wife.." "..I cannot forget the tears my husband has shed." "You all are responsible for that." "I can't say what the future holds, but I have nothing to give you today." "Not even forgiveness" " Mom?" "Autograph please." "Rahul!" "Payal!" "Come here!" "Come here!" "Payal!" ""Every flower in a garden is dear to the gardener."" ""Every flower in a garden is dear to the gardener.""
