"Come here!" "Sit down!" "Santoshi!" "Has Gopal brought the milk?" "Yes, mother." " Concentrate on this Gopal." " Don't disturb my prayers." "What's wrong?" "Why didn't you go with that girl?"

" Is there a letter in this?" " No sir, an invitation card." "I'm getting married this Friday." "You must come." "So, did she fall for you?" "No, she gave me her wedding card and left." "No problem." "That reminds me, Raghu the chairman of Anti Dowry is getting married today." "That day he spoke against dowry." "But I hear he's looting the bride's family with his demands." " Really?" " Yes." "Then we must attend his wedding." "With our procession." " Yes son?" " Ask for a car before the wedding." " There is the girl's father." " Please be seated." "Hurry or he'll be lost in the crowd."

"Is everything to your satisfaction?" "It's fine but I want to discuss family matters." "Yes?" "Not here." "Come to that room." "At this time?" "Just think the wedding ceremony has begun." "Where will I get a car now?" "We explained to Raghu the car won't run away." "But he wasn't convinced." "I plead with you, let the marriage get over." "In a month, I'll give you the car." "I don't think he'll agree to that." "He's very stubborn." "What you can do is give him 150000 in cash." "Yes, that will be fine." "Stop this!" "Look, it's a question of my honour." "This marriage can't take place!" "Don't do this." "I beg you." "I've heard this boring dialogue in many films." "But the greatest actor can't say it the way you did." "It was great!" "You keep quiet." " Excuse me..." " This wedding won't take place." "I beg you to stay." "Don't ruin my name publicly." "I beseech you..." "Why?" "Is it necessary?" "We don't have to buy if we get into a shop." "What did you say?" " You asked me to shut up?" " Yes, I told you!" "No dear, don't say that." "Just because I'm your daughter these lousy people can't insult you!" "And I quietly sit there with face covered in veil!" "So Mr. Pathak, when you came for the engagement..." "You came to my father's house not to a shop!" "You came round to sell!" "Door to door you went with the bundle of your son..." "Will anyone buy a son-in-law?" "My Papa made the mistake of buying a son-in-law." "But we're not happy with the deal." "Take the bundle of your son and get out of here!" " Dear..." " Don't be under the impression..." " We're leaving!" " Come on, son." "Stop!" "First pay the cash you'd taken in advance for your son." "All right." "We'll send it tomorrow." "Fine." "Till then keep your turban here." "Like hell!" "Let me see who dares touch my turban!" "We won't let you leave without depositing the turban." "Send the money tomorrow and take your turban." "Shameless!" "Chairman sir, where are you going?" "What have you done?" "Now who will marry you?" "I will marry her." "And without dowry." "No need to feel sorry for me." "And don't you try to be a hero." "Today you say, you won't demand dowry." "Tomorrow your mother or sister will chase me with a can of petrol!" "And will demand dowry!" "I don't want to marry anyone." "Do you understand?" "This is the boy I chose for Rama." "And this is the talented girl for your son's house." " Very good." " Isn't it?" "Shashi, come in." "Rama, keep the tea here." "This is Banarasi Uncle." "He's erased all our worries the moment he came in." "Touch his feet." "Shall I say something?" "Touching somebody's feet doesn't make anyone small." "But youngsters do become dear." "Good boy." "Son, keep this in mind..." "There's nobody more charitable than the earth, tree and river." "And no wise man greater than one who rectifies his error." "Since I entered, the problems of this household are over." "Take a look at these and make your destiny." "Both of you will get married." "But I hope there's no give and take in the wedding." "Of course." "You'll get 100000 and we pay 50000 for her wedding." "And I will get 5000 as commission." "The boy's parents were unsure but I fixed everything." "Understand this." "I will neither accept anything for my wedding nor will I give anything for Rama's wedding." "Do you hear?" "Yes." "My head reels to hear him." "Look, you are a boy." "And however the boy is, lame, mute, squint eyed drug addict, politician, smuggler, whatever he is..." "He is still a boy while a girl..." "A girl is like garbage in the eyes of cruel society." "The girl's parents pay the boy's family to take the trash away." "And the groom takes the garbage in a palanquin." "This is the view of society." "Society has its' views but in my house she's my sister, not garbage." "I think it's a sin to call a girl from another family, garbage." "Bravo, my son." "Your son is right." "My foot!" "Girls are ill treated in their husbanïs homes, they are burnt!" "Because no dowry was given." "If we give dowry, they will rule." "By old ideals, she to is right." "You think of what is right." "I must take leave." "Where are you going?" "Your son is very mature." "The generous boy is on the right track." "I'll look after all." "I'll handle it all." "My fees for home visit is Rs. 120." " Write it in my account." " Write it?" " We'll give it all together." " Okay." " Shall I rest assured?" " Whom are you talking to?" " Whom?" " Export." "It's an English word." "You won't understand it." " I'll leave." " Good day." "Excuse me." "I want to speak to you." "I don't want to hear." "I know what you'll say." "Tell me your name." "Yes, the one who consumes blood!" "Listen..." "Yes, the one who consumes blood!" "The one who consumes blood!" "I won't shave today." "Raju, here's some potato and cauliflower." "Your favourite." "What are you doing?" "Are you eating or feeding somebody?" "I know where my mouth is." "Go and get me some lentils." "You eat. 8.30!" "I had to call uncle." "Brother..." " Who is she?" " Who?" "The one you're dreaming of." " Don't shoot in the dark." " Hit the bullseye?" "Why?" "Are you dreaming of somebody too?" "Throw away the phone." "Can't get one number." " Eat your dinner." " You keep quiet." "I want to marry her." "She's my life partner." "Uncle, take a look." " Why?" "She's Sugandha Srivastav." " Do you know her?" "I know half the country." "She's Gopinath's daughter." "Short tempered." "The groom went back from her door." "You must do this for me!" "The guy above plays strange games." "Sends back the groom from there." "Sends the groom to me." "Makes strange partners and increases my work load." " Please do something." " Okay." "I'll help you." "This evening, I myself will take you to her home." "I think I've seen him somewhere." " Who is he?" " The 8th wonder of the world." "If his job isn't done, he'll drown tomorrow." "His name is Shashi." "Profession a licking accountant." "I can't say that." "He has a home, mother, sister and brother and has sworn..." "He will marry without dowry." "He will eat the medicine but without any restrictions." "That's very nice." "You hardly find such men in society." "That's why I brought him here." "They will make a good pair." "And your worries will end." "I have no objections." "In fact I'll be happy." "But if you'd meet Sugandha once..." " I've already met her." " When?" "Once at her marriage and then..." "Yes." "Aren't you the one who proposed to her then?" "Yes." "I approved of you even then." "Sugandha has suffered a big blow by that incident." "I can understand." "Maybe thas why she doesn't want to talk to em." "That's the reason I got uncle along." "So he can talk to you." "I have no problem in marrying her." "But I object to it." "I won't get married." "Because I can't respect any man now." "How can I spend my life with somebody I don't respect?" "But dear..." "From today, I'm your son, not daughter." "Good bye." "Don't worry at all." "I admit your daughter created a scene." "But my name is Uncle Banarasi." "I know my daughter well." "She will not agree." "Why not?" "If she can be adamant so can he." "Let there be war." "We'll applaud later." "People eat their words." "This is a mere faux pas..." "Pray to God." "I'll take it out." " With whom?" " I have a relative." "You won't comprehend." "A very old relative." "Thief!" "Catch him!" " What's the matter?" " He ran away with my chain." " Friends, got the stuff." " Let's run!" "Give me the chain." "Thief!" " Give it." " Just a minute." "There it is." "Give it." "You thief!" "Return the chain!" "Where is it?" "Not my pant!" "No!" "Let me go!" "What are you doing?" " Where's the chain?" " It's with him." "Give the chain." "The monkey!" "He took the chain." "Monkey!" "Give the chain." "Brother, give us the chain." " Now what?" " Nothing." "Climb the tree." "Maharaj, please give the chain." "Will you give it or not?" "What do I do?" "Gram seller, come here." " The money..." " I'll give it." "Monkey king, take this but give me the chain." "Come here." "Your chain." " If you hadn't come..." " Forget about me." "If you hadn't come today I'd have lost trust in God." "Why?" "I've asked God for you." "Now I must ask you for yourself." "Will my boon be granted?" "I'll think about it." "When?" "I'll call your office tomorrow." "This is my office card." "It has my office and residence numbers." " Will my boon be granted?" " I'll think about it." " When?" " I'll call your office tomorrow." "All right." "Get up my dear son." "It's morning." "Mother, you poured water over all my dreams." "Keep dreaming." "Forget reality." "You said you've spoken at 2 places for a job for Raju." "Call them up." "Yes, she's going to call!" "I must get dressed and go to the office." "Listen..." "I see." "Did anyone call for me?" "No." "What's up?" "Who was to call?" " She..." " She'll turn you down on the phone?" "No, think positive!" "My phone..." "No, this is not the family planning center." " Give it to me." " Might be mine..." "This is not Modern Mutton Shop." "She's coming here." "I'm Shashi's mother!" "Did you think you'd trap my son and marry him?" "My daughter will remain unmarried because of you!" "I'll kill you if you look towards my son!" "This slap was a gift from your mother that I came to return." "I want to only say this, you want to marry your daughter." "And we too have a daughter to marry." "You have a son as do we." "Let's have an exchange." "Nobody gives or takes anything." "Come here, son." " This is my son, Shashi." " Live long." "I was just talking to them about Rama's marriage to their son and your marriage to their daughter." "If we have a combined reception, the expenditure will be half." "Thanks a lot for your two in one offer." "My problem is that I'm strictly against dowry." "The question of dowry doesn't arise, my son." "Is has risen." "You are asking for Rama's brother in dowry." "If they want Rama without dowry..." "I will consider it." "And if I have to get married in this birth, it will be to Sugandha." "Whom you have slapped And I'm going to apologise to." "Son..." "listen..." " Listen..." " Excuse us." "Let's go." "But my daughter..." " You?" " Is Sugandha home?" "No." "The entire neighbourhood saw what your mother did." "I'm wondering whether to ask you to sit." "Whatever mother did, I..." "Ask him to leave." " At least listen to me..." " I don't want to hear anything." "I don't ever want to see you!" "Don't look at me but listen to me." "I don't want to hear anything!" " What's the harm in hearing?" " What do I hear?" "The woman who can come to my house and slap me before marriage." "She can burn me to death after marriage!" "Wait." "I admit mother behaved badly with you." "But she's not so bad to burn you." "As for the slap..." "You returned that to me in my office." "In spite of that whatever mother did..." "I apologise for it." "In simple words, I wish to say..." "I love you and want to marry you." "This is not possible in this lifetime." "I love you a lot." "I will wait for you." "Help him!" "Mother!" "Hurry here!" " What's wrong?" " They..." "What are you staring at?" "I'm your son, Shashi." "And she is the wife of your son." "Welcome the daughter-in-law." "Mother, welcome her according to the customs and rituals." "No?" "Doesn't matter." "I'm prepared for this emergency." "First the welcome hymn." "Then the flowers." "Prosper and progress." "May your husband live forever." "Be happy." "What follows next?" "Yes!" "Vermilion." "Just a minute." "These days one has to do everything alone." "And now water..." "Place your foot in it." "Come on." "The treasure of this home, now please step in." "And do what I explained to you all along the way." "Mother give her the blessing of my long life." "Anyway it goes to your son." "Get your sister-in-law's luggage in." " Okay." " Sister-in-law!" "She's so pretty!" "We won't need any lights here." " Yes." " I'll show her the room." "This is my border." "From here your reign begins." "I wanted to marry Rama off first." "But it was essential to break mother's dream." "She wanted to give my bride's dowry to Rama." "We'll fulfill it if that's what you thought." "How?" "Till Rama gets married..." "We'll stay apart despite being married." "You'll sleep away from me." "You are truly worthy of being my wife." "From today we are on test." "Both of us will clear it." "We'll be close tough far." " What are you doing?" " Making breakfast and tea." "Who will cook when you get married and go away?" "Now tell me what the three of you like." "And what does mother like?" "Sister-in-law, mother is not bad at heart." "I know." "No mother is bad at heart." "But every mother has some compulsion." "I was my father's weakness." "You are your mother's." " Shall I ask you something?" " Yes." "How did you find throwing your fiance out of the wedding hall?" "I felt they were cheating my Papa." "And he was very expensive at those prices." "Our nation follows different customs." "We pay the price for the groom and get abused in the bargain." "Isn't it wrong?" "But not every girl has your guts." "Do you know, my friends worshipped you for weeks?" "When I tell them you married my brother, they will be so happy!" "They will want to meet you." "I'll charge a ticket for that." "Yes, do that." "That's all that good brides are worth." "Charge tickets." " Mother..." " Don't talk to me!" "You trapped my son." "Now my Rama will remain single." "Mother sit comfortably and enjoy the bride serving you." "She'll get your breakfast." "I won't drink nectar from her hands!" "I raised you for 25 years and she conquered you in a night!" "Tomorrow she's want the house and the keys." "The mother-in-law herself gives the bride the keys." "That's what tradition is." "That's the only tradition you follow." "None other." "Here are the keys." "Look after your house!" "Henceforth I'm dead for you and you're dead for me!" " Mother..." " Mother!" "Open the door!" "Mother, open the door!" "Don't create a scene." "Open the door." "Mother!" "Open the door!" "What do you think, I'll die without marrying Rama off?" "Hear my ultimatum." "If you don't get Raju a job in a month..." "And marry Rama off, I'll marry her to a cripple or blind man!" "And you will have to welcome the groom." "Remember if this doesn't happen in 30 days..." "Then you watch what I do!" "I cut off the chains." "Listen to this..." "Does one have to hide the milk teeth?" "That is why I have decided if I ever get married again..." "It will be to a girl who looks like Sridevi when she enters a hotel." "Like Madhuri Dixit in the drawing room." "And Kimi in the rummy room." "It will be great fun if I can find this dream doll." "Look how the scoundrel is smirking." "I brought you so far holding your hand." "Now hold the hand of confidence and proceed." "Attack the Englishman." " I am scared." " Of that beggar?" "Is the cure scared of illness?" "Hit the crow and shoo him away." "I'll make a getaway now and will appear when required." "I'm going for now but I'll return." "No, this won't do." "Use courage." "1, 2, 3." "Well done." "Look there." "This is the wine that stays with you all your life!" " Won't you swim?" " I'm already drowning." "After seeing you." " Please listen tome." " What is it?" "Tell me your name" " Listen to me." " Now you must go." "Listen to me!" "You're still here?" "I spoke a word to you Now you're troubling me." " Listen to me." " What is it?" "Your beauty has cast a spell on me." "Leave my hand." "I want to ask for this hand for life." "I don't know about the hand but I can give you a slap." "He wanted to romance!" "Sheena, of the slap!" "Who are you?" "Go to Hell!" "Did you see a girl in a skirt go by?" "The girl who slapped a drunkard?" " Is it in the papers?" " It will be printed tomorrow." "When I slap you." "Who are you to slap me?" "Why will you slap me?" "The crows may have flown away." "I have no idea." "What is this?" "I don't understand you." "I'm her niece." "You're her uncle and she's your niece!" "No, she's my uncle." "I'm her niece." "Whatever..." " That Sheena..." " Niece..." "My love!" "My heart!" "Shall I polish your shoe?" "Maybe in your country." "No, in both places." "You old man, I young man." " For my uncle..." " Niece..." " Okay, for you." "My uncle..." " Niece." "I came here from France to find a smart boy for her." "You've come from France?" "You won't find a more handsome and pure groom than me for her." "Flick the ash in." "This too will get spoilt?" "Next time you take my nieces' name..." "I'll shoot you in the brain." "All will fly out." "Why will you shoot me?" "I'm a very good boy." "Quiet." "You are not good." "My eye is an X-ray." "I can see within." "Your heart is dirty." "Like an artificial currency note." "It has no value." "I will prove to you I'm nice." "Yes if you become good." "No if you don't." " This is our son, Ravi." " Hello." " This is her..." " Why not?" "The girl is pretty." "That's fine but talk about cash." "We'll take 2 lakhs as dowry." "No." "Not 2 lakhs." " Then how much?" " This much." " What is that?" " Don't you know?" "Get up and get out!" " This is my house." "You get out!" " Let's go." "Is this a house?" "I spit at such a house!" "With a 40 year old son!" "It's a month." "You've neither found Raju a job nor Rama a groom." "But I've found her a boy." "Here's his picture." "He's slightly old." "Only 46." " 46..." " He's a boy." "Whatever." "He earns 6000 a month." "Yet he's not demanding dowry." "Because his first wife died, but he has no issue." "He's coming to see Rama this Sunday and to fix all." "Tell your sister, crying won't help." "Go." "You're very lazy." "You need a bed even to cry." "But tell your brother the reason to cry." "Don't want to marry that old man?" "Then you won't." "Okay?" "Why must you cry?" "Now smile." "Wash your face and make me some tea." " Yes?" " Is this our house?" " Ours." " You've decorated the house well." "The boy's family is coming to see Rama." " Boy or old man?" " Mind your tongue." "Now I understand why our house looks different." "The carpet has come from Aunt Durga." "And the wall unit from the uncle." "The colour TV from Malhotra and the sofa set from Mehras." "Mother, are you showing the girl or a movie?" "These days both are the same." "You were unsuccessful." "Now let me do as I please." "Change into something better." " They will soon be here." " As you wish, mother dear." "Good grief!" "Stop her or the entire house will be washed away." "No..." "Mother, do I look like the owner of the stuff you borrowed?" "All right but don't make use of this razor sharp tongue." "And gulab jamuns!" "Put it back." "Eat it once the guests have left." "I've sent him to Akbar." "For work." " They've come!" " Finish frying." "Good day." "Welcome." " Hello." " This is our son, Ravi." " Sit down." " Strange." "Very strange." "Your house is as we thought it to be." " Isn't it?" " Yes." "That's thanks to God and the neighbours." "Please take a seat." "I'll call my mother." "They have a great house." "Don't feel shy asking for dowry." "Why would I feel shy?" " Come on, mother." " He's not the boy I'd called." "I invited them." "If that old man had come, I'd break his legs." "This one is 26 years young." "Put this down." "Rama will bring it." "Those days have gone." "This is my mother." " That Shakuntaladevi." " Hello." " And thas Ravi." "Have something to eat." "These plates and tray seem to be imported." "Yes." "Our neighbours are customs officers." "Whenever we need something, we buy it from them." "Have something." "Mother made it herself." "Delicious!" "Tasty." "Rama cooks better than me." " Is it?" " Yes." "Daughter-in-law, bring Rama here." "Come, dear." "She's my sister Rama." "And my wife, Sugandha." "This is Ravi." "Your daughter is the goddess of wealth." "If she comes to our house..." "What do they say..." "Our house will be filled." "Isn't it, Ravi?" " Yes." " Right." "We like your daughter." " Isn't it?" " Yes." "I too like her." "Now let me ask the one with whom my sister will spend her life." "Do you have any objections?" " No, I..." " Why are you asking him?" "I've passed the decision." "Now let's discuss the treatment." "Send her in." "We'll discuss that custom too." "Sure." "Dear, take Rama in." "So tell me, I'm ready." "Ravi is our only son." "He's a civil engineer." "And I'm an MLA." "If God wishes he can get major contracts." "Your sister will... heaven what do they say..." "Rule in heaven." "What's the entry fee to this heaven of yours?" "Son, you too have gotten married." "You too must have spent on your wedding." " You want to know the expense of my wedding?" " Yes." "2 garlands for Rs. 10" "Rice costing Rs. 3" "Rs. 3 for a coconut." "50 paise for vermilion." "And henna and colour for 3.50" "And Rs. 5 to come home from the temple." "So would you like such a marriage?" "Or tell me what fine the girl's family has to pay." "Son, you've punched me straight in the heart by saying all this." "I probably wouldn't bear it if I wasn't in politics." "Listen, the papers and films these days..." "And the anti dowry laws of the government have changed the right thinking of the public." "When a girl takes a dowry to her marital home..." "Her honour increases." "Isn't it?" "The neighbours see the bride later." "First they want to see the dowry." "This is our custom and tradition." "Why are you hesitating to demand dowry?" "No, no hesitation." "You'll gladly give and we'll accept with pleasure." "We can make do with 250000 and you too won't be burdened." "Two and a half lakhs!" "That's beyond our means!" "I accept." "I'll get the advance money I mean the token." "So, like the old man?" " So much money?" "How..." " It will be done." "So much money!" "I had no idea you'd do so much for your sister!" "This is to the credit of your wife." "You changed your decision so fast?" "I'm so happy!" "These are Rs. 50000." "Consider it an advance." " And the remaining?" " On the wedding day." " Okay." " Just a minute." " Sign this stamp paper." " What is it?" " Of what?" " Of the wedding." " Of the marriage?" " Yes." "This says you took 250000 for the wedding." "And you've taken 50000 advance." "And that you'll get 200000 at the wedding." "But why?" "You think I'll runaway with the cash?" " Don't you trust me?" " Forgive me." "The news of bride burning won't let me trust." "How's this possible?" "Don't you know he's an MLA?" "That is why I'm taking precautions." "What if he hikes his demands at the wedding?" "But signing this will put me in trouble." "Not getting this signed will put us in trouble." "No, this can't be done." "Then even this can't be done." "Say something." "You're a politician." "Can't you find a solution?" " What can I say?" " There's one way." "The moment Ravi marries Rama, you take the money." "I don't understand anything." " What?" " Good suggestion." "You be quiet." "I'm asking your mother." " Yes?" " I like this girl." " You tell me." " I don't see any wrong in it." "So that's done." "We'll end the giving and taking at the wedding." "Not give and take, it's charity we're doing and you're accepting." " Charity?" " Giving the girl away." " Give them a sweet." " Yes, here." " Everything fine?" " Yes." "I've spun such a web that Govardhan will keep spinning." " How?" " I've invited the minister." "And that famous judge..." "what's his name?" "Yes, I've called him." "Don't get conned by him." "He can't demand dowry around them." "Till they come, keep your bag safe." " He's coming." "Run." " I'm leaving." " Welcome." " Where's he?" " Put your hand in my pocket and take it." " What?" "The cheque for 250000." " You know?" " From the beginning." " But we spoke of cash." " I don't have it." " It's in his bag." " Where is he?" "There." "No, I mean there." "No, he's there." "No, he's there." "He's there." "No... he's there only." "What a fix you've put me in." "I'll always be grateful to you." " All that you did for Rama..." " Forget it." "A friend in need is a friend indeed." "Hello." "You've found such a beautiful bride." "Your son is very fortunate." "Whom are you looking for?" "My fortune." "You talk to them." " What happened?" " My foot!" "Excuse me." "Slipped out again?" "He's looking for uncle." "Uncle..." "I'll go myself." " Why are you hiding here?" " He's following me." "He'll eat me up." "Go elsewhere." "Behind the pots." "Sticky man." "Must have fallen in glue on birth." " Where's he?" " Not here." "But the minister is here." "Good day sir." "Very kind of you to grace this auspicious occasion." "But you never called me." "Forget it, you must have forgotten." "I wouldn't have come if uncle hadn't invited me." "Actually everything happened all of a sudden." " Your bag." " My bag?" " No the bag is mine..." " Do we give what's in it?" " No." " Think it over." "Any business going on with the bag?" "How can you say that?" "Can I take anything?" "Actually Shashi is starting a new firm." "This bag contains some papers about the business." "We'll discuss business after the wedding." "No, this is the time." "At the wedding." "Yes, sir." "You don't understand." " No, you don't understand." " What are you hinting?" "Why are you standing?" "Come on." "Very good." "How's it said in English?" "Don't get caught." "He's going to come back." "Sir, make yourself at home." "I'll return soon to serve you." "Now where has he gone?" "Where is he?" " Congratulations." " Why?" " Justice Kunte is here." "Hello, sir." "Thank you so much." "Welcome." " I know." " We hear..." "The minister demanding dowry for his son's wedding." "You locked him up for 6 years." "Is that true?" "Absolutely." "I'm strictly against this stupid custom." "I agreed to come here only because he said no dowry is given." " Is that true?" " Yes." "Absolutely true." "I oppose dowry." "The leader of the people." "We must set the example." " But this bag?" " What bag?" " Get rid of it!" " Don't you want it?" "Why do you need a business bag in a wedding?" "Do you?" " Sure you don't want it?" " Yes." " Sure?" "Take it away." "It's time to wear the wedding band." " But this bag?" " Forget it." "Come along, sir." "Tie the chain in the bride's neck." "Come in." "I had no idea you'd invited the minister and Justice Kunte." "Anyway, forget it." "Give me the money." "So we can take the bride home." "Money?" "But..." "When I came to give you the money, you put me off saying..." "You're strictly against dowry." "You won't accept a penny." "You know I'm a politician." "One has to say such things in public." "For years we've been saying, remove poverty." "Has it been removed?" "Mother, get the bag Raju gave you." " He didn't give me any bag." " The dark brown one?" "I'll check in the cupboard." "There's nothing in this!" "I'm leaving the town with the cash in this bag." "I'll try my luck with them." "God!" "What have you done?" "Why didn't you kill me before this?" " Now what will we do?" " Calm down." " I'll find him somehow." " But what do we tell him?" "Don't worry." "Come." "I'm very sorry to say the money has been stolen." " Is that so?" " Yes." "I owe you 250000 and I will give it to you." "Don't worry." "Why would I worry?" "The girl is still in your house." "Bring 250000." "And bring your sister along." "But... no." "Listen..." " Listen..." " I don't want to hear anything." "Don't do that." "Take her along." "No." "Don't leave her here." "Sister, at least you listen to me." "Stop them!" "Mother!" " What is it now?" " Rama is not at home." "Did you look in the kitchen?" "In the courtyard?" "I looked everywhere." "She's not to be seen." "Why did you put my precious child through all this?" "You?" "Am I dreaming?" "Later." "Later?" "Later!" " Tea." " Keep it here." "You!" "How did you come here?" "This bag brought her." "Have you brought all the money?" "I'll tell you." "Sit down." "You married my sister in front of the holy fire." "And pledged out protect her." "I hope you will do your duty with responsibility." "He will do his duty." "You do your payment." "Yes I will." "That is why I'm here." "I don't understand whether you're here to repay the debt or act smart." "No need to act smart." "Now they're tied in the holy bond of marriage." "And they're tied in a bond of love since college days." "Acting smart again?" "What nonsense is this?" " Excuse of love now?" " That's no excuse." "I've brought evidence." "What is this?" "Where's the money?" "Your son wrote these love letters to my sister." "What do they say...?" "The originals are at home." "Hear them from your son and hold your head." "Rascal!" " What are these?" " Letters." "Why did you write them?" "Brother-in-law..." "If you fear your parents, you can never lead your own life." "Begin a new life in this house." "Bring honour to their name." "Honour them as long as the honour you." "But if they treat you like a servant and ill treat you..." "Confront them like Chandi." "Don't bear everything like our sister and end your own life." "Always remember the world subjugates the meek." "Will you shut up?" "This is my house, not yours." "Your sister can't stay here for a minute without dowry!" "I didn't give any dowry nor did you take it." "The honourable minister and Justice Kunte know this." "I've even written a complain with the police commissioner." "My sister will stay in this house." "If she is harmed, even God can't save you from the police, court and me." "Do you understand MLA?" "Shameless!" "Lmpudent!" "Didn't you feel ashamed to run away with your sister's dowry?" " Mother!" " Get out!" " Leave him." " He stole Rama's dowry!" "I'll poison him someday!" "Get out of my sight!" "Get out of my sight!" " What are you doing?" " What's going on?" "Dear God!" "Either take me or let lightning strike him!" "What a son you've given me!" " Returned the cash to Akbar?" " Yes." " Go in." "Cash?" "What cash?" "I ask, what money?" "Where did you send it?" "Shameless!" "Have you no shame playing with your sister's life?" "My stars!" "I wonder where my Rama is!" "Rama is at her husbanïs home and happy." "What did you think?" "I've already lost one sister." "Would I have let the other one go the same way?" "I can give up my life for Rama's happiness." "If she's your daughter, she's also my sister." "He'll send me to prison!" "Have me locked up!" "Your brother." "Your brother-in-law!" "He thinks he is... what is it..." "Smart!" "Thinks he's over smart!" "Thinks he'll con me." "And will usurp my son." "Impossible!" "This is impossible!" "Doesn't matter if you're married." "Till I get every penny of the dowry..." "I won't let you two mate!" "Why don't you say something?" "Say something!" "From today this bride with no dowry will sleep with me in Ravi's room." "And Ravi will sleep with you." "You dare use a lousy word like but for your mummy!" "I never used that word for her!" "Go to my room." "Go!" "Don't stand like a statue!" "Get to work in the kitchen." "What are you reading?" "My son writes such loving letters." "You never wrote me such letters." "I'm no ordinary lover." "I'm a lover of dowry." " Lover of dowry?" " Patriot!" "Now I'll see how you meet." "Go to sleep." "Sleep!" " Stand behind in line." " I have an appointment." " We all have appointments." " All of you?" "Yes." "This is uncle's house not your club." "This is a swayamvar." "She will garland the man she likes." "Sheena has already chosen me." "I'm going to be her husband." "Don't jump the gun." "Uncle will interview us." "Stop this cruelty!" "I've willed everything I have to Sheena." "Sheena will find many men." "But I won't find a girl like her." "I beg you sir..." "I beg you sir..." "Stop this interview." "I beg you sir..." "I fall at your feet..." "Her leg not spoil... this leg spoil..." "Not even with my mouth?" "I fall at your feet and plead to stop the interview." "I'll do as you say..." "Who will tell him... no." "He's mad." " What about me?" " We eat... on you." " Heart... mercy." " Yes, feel mercy for you." "Tomorrow bring your father here." "What can I tell you sir?" "My father..." "I'm an orphan." "I left my parents as a child." "He was orphaned as a child." "From today I'm your father." "You've made my life by becoming my father." "I've written all the cash in this." "I thank you." "Ahmedabad is very far." "My thanks is right here." "How do I explain to him?" "I said, it's very nice." "Ogre..." "Go in and guard your daughter-in-law with no dowry." "She shouldn't conceive for at least 2 years." "If our scheme is successful..." "We'll file for divorce on grounds of her being barren." "Then we'll get Ravi married again." "In a wealthy family." "You find it difficult to meet your wife in the same house?" "What can I do?" "Let's the order of my miserly, scrooge father." "Till he gets the dowry from you, he won't let us enjoy conjugal bliss." "Know what happens at night?" "Nothing." "Yes, nothing." "I sleep with Daddy in one room." "And Mummy sleeps with Rama." "What a pair!" "They are undergoing punishment themselves in order to punish you." "Was something lacking in your mummy's dowry too?" "You're joking?" "I don't understand what to do." " Answer this." " What?" "How many rooms do you have in your house?" " 12." " How many Mummys?" " One." " And Daddys?" "One." "You're joking again!" "I'm leaving!" "Understood!" "Shameless!" "Character less!" " Come out!" " Out!" "Get up!" "Tramp!" "Making love right in front of our eyes!" "Get in!" "You too get in!" "Using that dirty word again!" "Come in!" "There's a transfer order in this." "And this is the air ticket." "Whose transfer?" " Yours." " Mine?" "And the flight is this evening." " Rama..." " Sure, she will go with you." "She'll definitely go." "As yet you don't have a good house in Delhi." "How can she accompany you?" "You must leave." "The reporting time is at 3.30." " I'll go up..." " There's no need." "I've packed your bags and put them in the car." "That filthy word again!" "We're coming to see you off." " Daughter-in-law!" " Yes, father?" "I called you 5 times." "Can't hear?" "Will this cup be here all day?" " Who?" " It's me." " Good morning." " Good day dear." "Come in." "How's life?" "My life is like this country and your government." "Engine with no handle topped with scandals." "Misery on misery." "Take a seat." " What can I do for you?" " Nothing." "I came to invite you." " My son's reception." " I recall, isn't he married?" "Forgotten the feast you had?" " Yes... then what about this?" " Another party." "Enjoy it." "Todays' youngsters are not satisfied with one marriage." "They want two." "Your son is indeed lucky." "Guide us with a similar solution." " You, filthy sir?" " MLA not filthy." "That's what I said." "Filthy sir." "Okay, that's how I'll say it." "Hey, filthy sir." "You'll have to pay a heavy tax." "That's why I'm doing the marriage." "What about the one who is already at home?" "We'll leave her." "Don't keep chatting." "You have to go for the convention." "Hurry and return soon." "You also have to go shopping with me." "Take your diabetes and blood pressure medication." "You've taken the right decision." "She should be left in the forest." " Why would I leave her?" " You said you'll leave the first one" "And get married again." "I meant my son's second marriage not mine!" "Then say that." "You want the bride you were scolding out." " Yes." " What if she doesn't leave?" "You know her brother is a hoodlum." "If you are with me, I'll teach that crook a lesson." "And leave his sister in the woods." "Find a family from where we can get 4 or 5 lakhs." "We'll give you a heft commission." "If that's the case, I'll find your son a match paying 10 lakhs!" "It's 10.30." "I have to be at the convention." "You leave after having tea." "But filthy sir, don't forget the reception." "I will surely come." "Rama, my dear..." "Listen..." "Dear..." "Did you hear me?" "I said all that only because I wanted to know the truth." "I swear by you." "On knowing the truth, I felt they are horrid." "The scoundrels are kicking away icons of worship." "I hope the lotus doesn't get crushed under the elephant's foot." "Why do you worry?" "I'm alive for you." "Don't worry." "You'll see how I welcome these rascals with shoes!" "No, dear." "I'm with you." "You just come for the wedding." "You'll meet Shashi and your mother." "Don't forget." "I must leave." "Take care." "Congratulations." "Where's uncle?" "I'm here, my son." "Good day, Govardhan." "Wait." "Where are you going?" "Going before me!" "What is this I hear?" "You're getting married again?" "How did you come here?" " I walked." " I know that." " Why have you come?" " Aren't you ashamed?" "Asking his father, what he's doing here." "Invited the whole city and forgot your father!" "You are not a good son but I'll do my duty as a father." "I bless you." "Live long and well." "Shall we celebrate this?" "As a father?" "Brothers and sisters." "How about some entertainment for this fool, my son's wedding?" "So a hymn, a ballad and a song." "I'll make a kedgeree out of it and feed you." "You go on." "I'll settle things." "Brothers, I want to show this stupid man a miracle." "You all know this is his second marriage." "He rejected the true one and got this foreign fairy." "He thought she was no good and brought her instead." "Now I'll prove that he is a nincompoop." "How?" "Fairy, I mean dear show us your miracle." " Miracle?" " A car will drive out." "Where's your uncle?" "Father, you're uncle?" "I had to do this to open your eyes." "Now tell me do you like her or should I take her back?" "No." "My eyes are open." "Open your eyes to say that." "Saying it with closed eyes." "Do you accept that a match made by me can never be broken." " I accept." " Feel any shame?" " Touch my feet." " Father!" "You'll spoil my legs." "Apologise to her." "Forgive me." "What's wrong with her?" "What's wrong?" "Can't you see?" "She vomited." "Must have jaundice." "From today I believe in God completely." "If she dies, I won't have to file for divorce." "We'll save at least 20000." "Shut up!" "In 9 months, you give 900 talks on family planning." "But you don't know the difference between jaundice and other nausea!" " What do you mean?" " I mean..." "This is the nausea of pregnancy." "How did you guard her?" "My foot!" "If somebody finds out that she's pregnant, gone is the cash!" "The crisp 5 lakhs you were counting." "Before the news gets out of this house Mrs. Verma get it aborted." "Drink this medicine, dear." " Why, mother?" " You are vomiting." "If we don't treat you, Ravi will say we didn't look after you." "Drink it." "Drink it, dear." "Drink it, dear." "I understand." "No way will I drink it." "I won't let my child be murdered!" "Is the child only yours?" "Our son contributed 50%." "We may thrash or burn that 50%" "How does it matter to you?" "You look after your 50%." "Honour your family but if they ill treat you..." "Confront them as Chandi." "I will die but not drink this!" "We'll see that." "Hold her." "No!" "No!" "Leave me!" "No!" "No!" " Brother!" " What's wrong?" "You've come at the right time." "Right time?" "Meaning?" " Did anyone hit you?" " No." "Who can touch me?" "You'd advised me to become Chandi when the time came." "I can protect myself." "Then why were you running?" "I was running to tell you some good news." " Good news?" " Yes." "You are going to become an uncle." "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" "Mother and Sugandha will be so happy to hear this." "I'll go and tell them." "And call up home if you have any problems." "Come home, mother." " Good day Daddy." " Come in." "Sit down." "You!" "I hope you haven't quit your job and come!" "No Daddy." "I got myself transferred back to Bombay." "I told my boss about my marriage." "He felt so sorry that he transferred my back." " He was a good man." " My foot!" "Stupid boy!" "Why did you do this?" "You should be happy." "Your son has returned." "That lousy word again!" "Rama will be happy that I'm back." "I'll go and meet her." "He's ruined everything!" " What have you done?" " What have I done?" "This is how the world runs." "Get some carrot pudding." "What are you thinking?" "The stomach with no dowry is growing like India's budget." "Also our worries." "We'll have to declare emergency." "Leave everything to me." "I won't let this wretch live." " Dear..." " Yes?" "Will you get me a glass of hot milk?" "Yes, father." "Is the milk ready?" "Where is that shirker?" "How did you come here?" "I removed the tube from the gas to kill daughter-in-law." "Mother!" "Mother!" "What happened to her?" "Shameless!" "Sinner!" "Tramp!" "After setting your mother-in-law on fire..." "You pretend to be innocent!" "No, I didn't do anything!" " I was picking the clothes..." " Quiet!" "Clothes!" "Your brother said he'd send me to prison!" "I'll show you who will go to jail!" "Me or his sister!" "Inspector, this is the girl who set her mother-in-law on fire." " Arrest her." " I didn't do anything." "I don't know anything." "Inspector, I didn't do anything." "Father!" "Inspector, I don't know anything." "I'm innocent." "I didn't do anything." "The court will decide that." " Ravi here." " Yes?" "My mother accidentally got terribly burnt." "And Daddy has accused Rama of setting her aflame." " What?" " Yes, but I know she's innocent." "The police has just arrested her." "Let's imperative I reach the hospital to be with Mummy." "You go to the police station and get Rama out on bail." "I'll go right away." "Considering the state of the accused, we can't keep her in jail." "We've made these bail papers." "Please sign them." "Release Rama." "Brother!" " I didn't do anything!" " Don't cry." "I know." "I am sorry it happened to her." "Those who dig wells for others drown in it themselves." "Let's go home." "The brother of my daughter-in-law what is he called..." "He's a crook." "If he goes to court, winning the next election..." "Understand?" "Yes sir." "I'll have him finished." "This should be done fast." "All this has happened because of you!" "Because of your stubbornness!" "Can tradition be wiped away in one single day?" "Don't believe if you don't want to." "But don't make your sister's life hell" " Look..." " I am looking." "Rama herself could burn in the fire that burnt her mother-in-law." "It's my fault." "If I wasn't a girl you wouldn't have these problems." "I am unlucky." "I was born to you as a girl." "Born as a girl." "She might do something!" " Open the door!" " Open the door!" "Move aside." "Open the door, my child!" "Mother!" " Where are you going?" " To teach that rascal a lesson!" " I won't leave him alive!" " Listen to me..." "You stupid...!" "Wait." "First tell me didn't I get you married?" " Yes, uncle." " How did you become a hood?" "How did you become a thug?" "Speak up, you louse!" "Who sent you here?" "Who sent you?" "I'll break your bones!" "Speak!" "MLA Govardhan." "Let's take him to the hospital." "Your wife is out of danger but she will need plastic surgery." " What happened to him?" " I'll tell you!" "Louse!" "The knife of the thugs you sent to kill me slit Ravi's guts!" "If something happens to him, will money buy his life?" "You demon, answer me!" "Leave him." "Why do you want to do Yamraj's job?" "He won't pay you but the law will hang you." "Go home and look after Rama." "I'm here to help Ravi." "Shall I say something?" "You're a trash bin not a man." "I came to tell you..." "If Rama really burnt you, tell the police she did." "But sister, if she didn't..." "I plead with folded hands, don't give a false testimony" "Because you're not only a mother-in-law." "You're also a mother." "Let me tell the mother, her son is fighting for his life next door." "Your husband sent thugs to kill Shashi." "Ravi got seriously injured trying to save Shashi." "And he's lying there wounded." "If you speak the truth, it's possible that..." "God might feel sorry for you." "And will save your son's life." "Save your child." "That's all." "I want to say something else." "Man has made society hell for women." "If a woman doesn't support another woman in this hell..." "If she doesn't honour other women..." "The world will be hell." "I don't want to say anything else." "Daughter-in-law..." "Daughter, forgive me." "Forgive me, my child." "I have wronged you." "Your mother-in-law and I ill treated you a lot." "How are mother and Ravi?" "They are fine." "They will get well." "I have a warrant for your arrest." " Arrest?" " Yes." "Your son has written a report." "You sent thugs to kill Shashi." "Your wife has filed the other report." "You tried to burn your daughter-in-law to death." "Inspector, it was actually my fault." "I switched on the gas to heat milk." "Then it started pouring so I went out to gather" "Poor mother didn't know." "And she got burnt." "If anyone is to be blamed it is me." "In such a situation, it is justified that..." "Mr. Govardhan thought my sister tried to burn her mother-in-law." "As for Ravi's complain..." "There must be some misunderstanding." "Because the thugs who tried to kill me are my old enemies."
