Shameless girl!
Powdering herface in the bus!
Mother...l mean sister.
lt's vey bad to powderyourface.
But you can use lipstick.
Why are you eavesdropping?
- Ears flap when the face is pretty.
You are a vey good boy.
Like us, you seem to belong
to some good family.
What are you doing?
Take your hand ofl.
What is yourfamily?
Our family was the most
famous for it's dramas.
ln my time, when l stepped
on the stage...
...the entire stage trembled!
Sure.
Even the bus is shaking.
- So funny.
You shake the stage.
Doesn't your daughter do anything?
My daughter is getting ready.
Once she steps on stage, her name
will resound all over India!
lt will echo.
Sister, ifyou don't flnd a hero
for her on stage, keep me in mind.
Give me an opportunity to help her.
Are you the only one le for her?
The beauty and the beast!
Come fast! The bus has come!
Come on.
- Coming.
Wait. My husband.
Come fast oryourwife will leave.
My slipper!
Enough!
-Are you Kishore Kumar?
Do you think l'm mad?

Yes! It is he!
What are you doing in this
heat in the middle ofthe road?
My car stalled.
- Our luck that it stalled.
Or how would we see you?
Together you've kept your name?
- We're his fans.
Forget them. l swear you are great!
You've done a great job in Aradhana.
Terriflc!
- That was Rajesh Khanna not me.
You licked them clean in Kati
Patang! -Absolutely!
No, that was Rajesh Khanna.
- No, we're not talking ofacting.
We're talking ofyour songs.
That song from Aradhana,...
That was Mehmood's fllm.
-Yes, that was Padosan.
And that one..
Enough! Ifyou start singing,
the industy will throw me out.
The industy will never let you go.
What areyou doing here?

And the car packed up?
-Yes.
Come in our bus.

You've got them trapped.

Get the carwhen it's flxed.
What make is it?

Haven't you ever seen actors?
Here's your ticket.
l haven't brought any money
since l was going shooting.
l'll pay the money. l got
the chance to serve you!
Where are you going?
- My name is Mala.
l didn't ask you your name.
l asked where you were going.
You live there?
- No, my home is in Bombay.
Are you fond offllms?
l mean watching?
Yes.
You have a nice face.
You can become afllm star
ifyou wish to.
No thanks.
- Why not?
l hate fllm people.
Maybe like others, you too
feel they are bad people.
That is wrong. Good and bad folk
are found in evey profession.
ln business, society, government.
lt depends on what kind
of person you come across.
Think before condemning others.
To become an actress
you had become blind.
And what kind ofa man
you associated with.
l've made all the inquiries.
She's a golden goose.
Her name is Mala. Father...
Drinks water from a silver glass
and eats ofl a golden plate.
And the girl dreams of becoming
an actress day and night.
Ourjob is done. Let us also eat
and drink in gold and silver.
Remember the technique?
- Absolutely.
l'm a photographer for a fllm
magazine. May l take your picture?
Why?
- By printing your picture..
l want to prove it's not only
the fllm stars who are beautiful.
lt's also outside fllmdom.
lfyou don't mind, send a picture
to Sharma International too.
He is..?
- Sharma.
Just returned from Africa.
And she is Miss Mala.
But how do you know my name?
How many beautiful girls
are there in this city?
One...
- Orjust two.
lt was not diMcult
flnding out your name.
l was saying he has just
returned from East Africa.
He has a factoy there.
He's come here to make fllms.
And is looking for new faces.
So you're looking for new faces?
l'd love to act in fllms.
l've won many cups for acting
on school and college stage.
ll you give me a
chance in your fllm?
Sure. You need us
and we need you.
The photograph should
be true to life.
lfthese drops ofwater slip ofl
her body, the picture will be good.
Stand like this.
Smile and pose.
Who are you?
- Forget me.
Someday l am sure you will
become a great fllm star.
To reach you then,
l'll have to be born again.
Sowhy don't l take
your autograph now?
Write something with your
delicate hands in my book.
Don't interFere in
somebody's personal matters.
You take the picture
and you get out ofthe frame.
l wasn't born to get out.
- ll you go quietly...?
Look, l neither came because
you asked norwill l leave.
l think he's decided he wants to
get thrashed. You come here.
Smile a little.
Just a minute! Wait!
What's going on? Let her be.
Look at it this way. You want a
heroine. You're also getting a hero.
Just hold this.
l think l'll have to
stop being nice.
l turned one into aflsh.
What do you want, love?
- l don't talk to riflrafl, love.
Listen to me.
God gives beauty but
we must protect it.
Take evey step in youth
aer great contemplation.
Up to you whetheryou listen or not.
But l tried explaining.
A sexy pose.
Don't move.
What are you doing the day
aer tomorrow in the evening?
We have college.
- l meant evening.
lf possible, come to
Playboy restaurant.
This meeting has been quite dy.
We'll talk comfortably.
- l'll ty.
Are these signs ofyoung girls?
Are you listening?
Mala had gone to college.
It's 9 and she hasn't returned!
You've given her so much liberty
that she's getting spoilt!
She's our only child.
Must be partying with friends.
No! Now her parties
should be stopped
She must come home before 7!
Find her a good boy as soon as
possible and get her married.
lt's better you put
chains in my feet!
l won't be able to go anywhere!
Your mother is getting mad
at me since then.
How did you get so late?
- College closes at 5.30.
A professor had come from
the American University at 6.
l had to stay to hear his lecture.
lt was 8 when he flnished.
Then l went to Rita's house.
She forced me to have tea.
An hourwent by there.
We were 4 friends. Ritaflrst
dropped them, then dropped me.
But Daddy, Mummy is
always scolding me.
lfyou've given me an education,
Iet me be responsible for myself.
That's right. Mala's mother
don't say anything about my child.
l will! A hundred times!
We live in an old fashioned colony.
People talk when you return so late.
Would you like me to
stop going to college?
l'll stay at home and sweep
the house or knead dough!
Of course not. She agrees.
Fight terminated.
Have dinner.
- l don't want it.
Don't eat but now on l won't
tolerate you being out so late!
When you've tolerated a man
like me for 25 years...
Tolerate her little habit too.
Eveything is ajoke foryou!
Your mother scolded you not me.
She says don't eat dinner.
But you may eat my share.
Why hasn't Mala come as yet?
- Because she's a latecomer!
You're pretty late.
Yes?
- What crap is this?
Here's your money.
Why are you turning into my enemy?
- Enemy?
But l want to be friends.
l'm vey sory if
you think it's hatred.
Thanks to you, Usha lyer
got angy and le!
And if l say she le
because ofyou..?
Why didn't you let me
hear my favourite number?
No need to get angy. You wanted
to hear you number, l wanted mine.
Showing oflyour money!
Do you know who l am?
l've come here to
eat chicken sandwich
Not to ask your father's
bank balance!
Come here.
We'll handle this vile man.
Stand up.
- Don't stare. Stand up!
Come here.
What's going on?
Help!
ls this a restaurant
or a wrestling ring?
How much is your bill?
- Nothing
ndyours?
-Nothing.
lfyou come here and...
- Fight.
l'll call the...
- Police!
Go away!
One is atall jet, the otherJumbo.
l hope you aren't hurt.
- Not at all.
Had the manager not interrupted,
l'd show him!
Sharma dealt in elephant
tusks in East Africa.
He nevertouched a
dead elephant's tusks.
He'd go to the jungle, pounce on
live elephants and pull their tusks!
What are you saying?
Today you are late.
So it's not right to stay long.
Take this card and come to
our oMce tomorrow evening.
l'm taking her to buy
costumes and make up.
We have a trial tomorrow.
- First ask her.
Has she decided to be a heroine?
That's right. So what do you say?
Do you have to ask?
l can't believe it!
Can l really be a heroine?
Listen to her! What is this?
These days girls with brinjal
noses become heroines.
Then why can't you?
Features like yours...
She doesn't have them, right?
You're right.
Do one thing. We're going shopping.
Ask the cashier for 2000 bucks.
Have you forgotten?
The cashier has taken the day ofl.
What a shame! And tomorrow is
Sunday. The shops will be shut.
We'll have to wait.
-Why?
l'll pay it.
- Good.
She's become our company
partner on the flrst day.
She's making the beginning.
- How is that possible?
What's wrong in that?
Whoever gives, it's the same.
Work shouldn't stop.
- Yes.
That's also right. Let's go.
ll you be going home?
-Yes.
l have some work. l'll get oflmidway
Come over in the evening.
We test your make up.
What's the fare?
- What fare? l'm sold out.
You?
- Yes.
l flnd some excuse to serve you.
Then go to hell!
You are on the way to hell.
Doesn't matter. We'll go together.
Great! What style, marvelous!
Here, have a sweet.
Forthe flrst make up.
When you enterfllms, all heroines
will sell peanuts at the beach!
Quiet. Have this.
Let's go and arrange
for the photographs.
Congratulations.
Wait.
Now go ahead.
Our cameraman, make up man,
dress man...all are your fans.
As they keep praising you,
my problems are mounting.
lt's diMcult to pair a hero
with a girl as pretty as you.
l can't flnd anybody who'll
Iook great with you.
Why don't you talk
to afamous hero?
That's what even l wanted.
But there's one problem.
- What problem?
l've wound up my business in Africa.
But my money is still there.
Taking an established star
will hike up the budget.
l want to tell you something.
- What?
lt might rankle.
But l don't consider you
a stranger now.
lfyou arrange for a lakh ortwo...
We can make a good proposal.
Yes, that's right. A big name
will add credit to her name too.
We'll make fast business.
- Right.
But you don't think too much.
Take your time to think
and then give an answer.
l'll let you know in a day ortwo.
May l take leave?
Mala's mother.
- What is it?
Did you see this picture?
Looks like Mala.
- It is her!
lt says here, The artist of
Sharma International...
New face Mala as a heroine.
Look at this and this!
Such deception!
Why are you screaming?
l'm cying hearing the news
of my death, not screaming.
Look at this! A living
example of shamelessness!
These are my pictures.
Why must you scream?
These are not pictures.
You've slapped me on my face.
Your mother kept nagging me.
Don't give her the freedom
to loaf. And l...
Out of love for you,
l kept cursing her.
You took undue advantage
of my love and decency.

You should be happy that l'm
bringing pride to your family.
lfyou wanted to bring
pride to our family...
You could have burnt this house!
Flames would rise! Why did you
have to play with my honour!
What's wrong in this?
- What's le?
What will our community say
on seeing these dirty pictures?
The pictures you think are dirty
have some value for the world.
There is art and talent in it.
Shamelessness is never art.
The family you'll get married
into is vey cultured and reputed.
They won't see these pictures
from the art point of view.
lfthey are illiterate, travel in
carts when man has gone to the moon...
lt's not my fault.
l've nothing to do with them.
l want you to know my decision.
l'm not ready for marriage.
l want to become afllm star.
What?
You want to become a fllm star!
Now l know why you came
home late evey night.
You've fooled your parents!
This program and that...
ls this the destination
ofdecent daughters?
Yes, that is my destination.
l see. Things have gone overboard.
lfthis is your decision,
hear my decision too.
From today, no more parties,
picnics or going out!
And no college from tomorrow!
You'll be married next month.
Go away!
This is why l've come to
consult you on the sly.
Tell me, what l must do.
You're putting a great
responsibility on me.
When you trust me so much,
l'll support you at evey stage.
For the time being there is
only one solution for you.
Collect whatever money you can
from home and come to me.
Run away from home?
Leave my parents?
You can't achieve success
without sacriflce.
You say something.
-What can l say?
On one hand the goddess offame
stands open armed to embrace you.
On the other hand, the poisonous
snake of marriage wants to crush you.
You yourself are sensible.
Take a decision.
But mind you, this
opportunity won't come again.
Come in.
She has come.
Finally the sun rose at night.
Here's the cash.
- Did you count it?
l brought whatever l laid
hands on, out offear.
Must be more than a lakh.
We'll also prove to be
more than your expectation.
You sit comfortably,
wipe the sweat beads.
No point in worying
about what you've given up.
l'll put this in place.
Look aer her.
- Got it.
Listen...
Did you say something?
- Tell Sharma to hury up.
l'll do that.
Have a drink.
Well done!
What a haul!
Here's your share.
Your share.
- Thanks, boss.
l've given her the drink.
- Come. Your share, Gopal.
Your share.
What about the girl?
- Given her the drink.
Two minutes and..
- Stop whistling.
Varma's share.
You should get double.
What's wrong?
- 2 bundles won't satis me.
l want equal share.
Equal share?
- Yes.
Don't forget l cut the wings
ofthe bird who brought this.
Trapping Mala wasn't
your cup oftea.
Quietly give me halfofthis.
And ifl don't?
Then you are aware ofthe
punishment for inciting an innocent girl...
To steal and tempting her
with false film oers.
So you've thought of
ways to get me arrested.
Yes.
- You probably don't know...
The tongue that rises against me...
lt is locked forever.
Let's go.
Let him be! It's between us.
Why flght for a petty thing?
Come and take whatever you want.
What's the matter?
Did somebody stab you?
Nothing. Just a nightmare.
You dream in the day and scream.
Passengers have tender hearts too.
What if somebody
suflered a stroke?
This girl's scream has
subdued all the passengers.
You sing so well. Sing for us.
Sing that song...
Sit down.
- l'll listen to that song.
Go to Calcutta and hear
it from Pankaj Mallick.
No, sing that...
Bald Tansen, sit in your place.
Calm down. l'll sing a new song.
You wouldn't have heard it.
But on the condition that
eveybody sings with me.
Agree?
- Yes!!
What's your name?
Help me.
Stop the bus!
Do you think the bus
stops anywhere?
This is a bus not atemple.
What's he saying?
l heard athud.
Did you throw my bag?
l climbed and kept it.
- Then what was the sound?
l fell down. Get in.
Sit there.
Baby elephant! Why are
you getting under the seat?
Dad said.
- Dad said?
Do you think l'm a railway ticket
checker. We are a smarter lot.
You've brought your son topless.
You could've given him a shirt.
- His father is wearing his shirt.
Thank heavens you're not
wearing his dhoti.
Qomt bareyourteeth.
ere are you going?
Do you take the nectar of gods?
- What?
We're going to my in-laws place
for a wedding.
Pay up for 3 tickets.
Why three tickets?
We're only two.
- And this baby elephant?
He's a child.
- His Dad wears his shirt.
He'll travel free?
- He's a little kid.
Little foryou, fat for us.
Pay up or l stop the bus.
Mom has the money, not Dad.
Telling eveybody our family
tales! l'll give you a slap!
Mom!
- Don't cy.
Scaring my baby!
Pay for the ticket.
- Given! Money! Money!
Here you are.
Blow the horn.
Overtake the bus.
Who the hell is blowing the horn?
The car behind is honking away.
His mom's wedding maybe. Let him go.
How are you?
No problems in the bus?
Overtake!
Have you understood?
- Yes.
The bus. Let's go.
Tell uncle to look aerthe house.
By the time you get in,
we'll reach Goa.
Understood eveything?
- Hury up!
Look aer my mother.
Where to?
- Where l always go.
Going to Goa to your
daughter's in-laws?
Yes, my in laws are dead.
Only hers remain.
l've heard your daughter and
her husband don't get along.
He sent her back last year.
Has he called her back?
- Ofcourse.
l went to her in-laws' place
one day.
And showed them the goddess' form!
Then?
- My son-in-law fell at my feet.
Apologised and took
my daughter home.
This is flne but give me the fare.
Yes.
There's afat hen.
But where's the sound?
Who has brought a hen in the bus?
Good Lord!
- Chicken?
Cooked?
- No, hidden.
So you've brought the hen?
- l have an egg not a chicken.
So why are you laughing?
- My face is like this.
Born laughing? Who used to
Iaugh? Your Mom or Dad?
lt was moonlit. Water
flowed all around.
When l was born, my Mom cried.
And Dad laughed.
Just a minute.
Rter Sohrab Modi yore
the onIy Parsi who acts.
Sit down.
Who's smuggled a hen?
Stop the bus!
What a brake!
l got to eat betel leafforfree.
l want to ask something?
Where's the clucking from?
Where is it? It's not allowed
to bring hens into the bus.
What's in this?
- Books.
Hens not allowed. The bus
won't move till the hen is found.
The basket!
The lady's basket is moving.
ls there a hen in this basket?
lt's not full grown, just a baby.
Let me see the baby.
ls this a baby? And bald at that?
lfthis is a baby,
will the hen be your size?
Rascal! Sinner! Bring my hen back!

- It's not allowed.
And you're asking the
conductor to go flnd it.
Drive on.
- No!

eveybody to cinder!
Don't curse us, mother.
Forgive me, mother. l've

But l never saw you in this form.
Forgive me.
- Is it clear?
Let's go flnd her hen.
Pick the basket and ask forgiveness.
Forgiveness later. Hen flrst.
l won't give up the hen.
Look there!
- Catch it!
Calling a hen or a girl?
Come...
l'll get it.
The head is in my hand.
Let's go to the bus fast.
Start the bus.
Here's your hen.
Why are you quiet?
Why don't you say something?
It's as if a snake got your tongue.
th great diMculty
l caught this hen...
What is it?
Funny guys! Scared of a snake.
What's a snake? Comes from
here and vanishes there.
Catch it and put it in your pocket
People eat snakes in many nations.
Do you know what vitamins it has?
Why are you yelling?
You are Indians.
They flght storms.
Play with peril.
You guys are scared ofa snake!
Recall that you are Arjun's kids.
Bhima's children.
Son of Bhim Singh! How are you?
Eat the vitamin pill and catch it.
You catch it.
- No way!
Why are you afraid?
This is the snake god.
Won't harm anyone.
Give the driver a kiss.
The conductor?
- No, throw him out.
Thank God.
What is it?
- My honour lies at yourfeet.
Are you a man or animal?
Always scaring us!
The coward keeps yelling.

in place of a 5 buck hen.
Yet you're cribbing!
- Sinner! l curse you!
Curse! You'll be a hen
in yourfuture birth!
And l'll chop and eat you!
An astrologer told me

Take this and rememberwhat l said.
The job should be done.
We'll follow the bus.
Come as soon as you've killed her.
- The bus is coming!

Don't know what's wrong

Today the groom's family
is coming to see Mala.
What will we tell them?
Anybody home?
There they are.
- Welcome.
Son-in-law hasn't come?
You are so foolish! First ask

The girl got scared.
The boy sat in front of her.
She got confused.
The girl looked at the boy.

So far you hadn't
talked to me so lovingly.
l'm a vey simple...
This yellow shirt is missing!
He only wanted to go to Belgaum.
Then he extended it to Goa.
His eye was on her purse.
But don't you wory. If he

Good heavens!
Looks like eveyone

We'll wait ahead.
Here are your sweetmeats.
Come here. Where's Rajesh?

My daughter is getting ready.
Once she steps on stage, her name

That is wrong. Good and bad folk

ln business, society, government.
lt depends on what kind
of person you come across.
Think before condemning others.
To become an actress
you had become blind.
And what kind ofa man

She's a golden goose.
Her name is Mala. Father...
Drinks water from a silver glass
and eats ofl a golden plate.
And the girl dreams of becoming

He has a factoy there.
He's come here to make fllms.
And is looking for new faces.
So you're looking for new faces?

The photograph should

Someday l am sure you will

To reach you then,

What do you want, love?
- l don't talk to riflrafl, love.
Listen to me.
God gives beauty but

This meeting has been quite dy.
We'll talk comfortably.

Are these signs ofyoung girls?
Are you listening?
Mala had gone to college.
It's 9 and she hasn't returned!
You've given her so much liberty
that she's getting spoilt!
She's our only child.
Must be partying with friends.
No! Now her parties
should be stopped
She must come home before 7!
Find her a good boy as soon as
possible and get her married.
lt's better you put
chains in my feet!
l won't be able to go anywhere!
Your mother is getting mad
at me since then.
How did you get so late?

Then l went to Rita's house.
She forced me to have tea.
An hourwent by there.
We were 4 friends. Ritaflrst

But Daddy, Mummy is

lfyou've given me an education,
Iet me be responsible for myself.
That's right. Mala's mother

the house or knead dough!
Of course not. She agrees.
Fight terminated.
Have dinner.
- l don't want it.
Don't eat but now on l won't
tolerate you being out so late!
When you've tolerated a man
like me for 25 years...
Tolerate her little habit too.
Eveything is ajoke foryou!
Your mother scolded you not me.
She says don't eat dinner.
But you may eat my share.
Why hasn't Mala come as yet?
- Because she's a latecomer!
You're pretty late.
Yes?

Here's your money.
Why are you turning into my enemy?
- Enemy?
But l want to be friends.

you think it's hatred.
Thanks to you, Usha lyer

And if l say she le
because ofyou..?
Why didn't you let me
hear my favourite number?
No need to get angy. You wanted
to hear you number, l wanted mine.
Showing oflyour money!
Do you know who l am?
l've come here to

Not to ask your father's
bank balance!
Come here.
We'll handle this vile man.

Had the manager not interrupted,
l'd show him!
Sharma dealt in elephant
tusks in East Africa.
He nevertouched a
dead elephant's tusks.
He'd go to the jungle, pounce on
live elephants and pull their tusks!
What are you saying?
Today you are late.
So it's not right to stay long.
Take this card and come to
our oMce tomorrow evening.
l'm taking her to buy
costumes and make up.
We have a trial tomorrow.
- First ask her.
Has she decided to be a heroine?
That's right. So what do you say?
Do you have to ask?
l can't believe it!
Can l really be a heroine?
Listen to her! What is this?
These days girls with brinjal
noses become heroines.
Then why can't you?
Features like yours...
She doesn't have them, right?
You're right.
Do one thing. We're going shopping.
Ask the cashier for 2000 bucks.
Have you forgotten?
The cashier has taken the day ofl.
What a shame! And tomorrow is
Sunday. The shops will be shut.
We'll have to wait.
-Why?
l'll pay it.
- Good.
She's become our company
partner on the flrst day.
She's making the beginning.
- How is that possible?
What's wrong in that?
Whoever gives, it's the same.
Work shouldn't stop.
- Yes.
That's also right. Let's go.
ll you be going home?
-Yes.

Come over in the evening.
We test your make up.

You are on the way to hell.
Doesn't matter. We'll go together.
Great! What style, marvelous!
Here, have a sweet.
Forthe flrst make up.
When you enterfllms, all heroines

Quiet. Have this.
Let's go and arrange
for the photographs.
Congratulations.
Wait.
Now go ahead.
Our cameraman, make up man,
dress man...all are your fans.
As they keep praising you,
my problems are mounting.
lt's diMcult to pair a hero
with a girl as pretty as you.
l can't flnd anybody who'll
Iook great with you.
Why don't you talk
to afamous hero?
That's what even l wanted.
But there's one problem.
- What problem?
l've wound up my business in Africa.
But my money is still there.
Taking an established star
will hike up the budget.
l want to tell you something.
- What?
lt might rankle.
But l don't consider you
a stranger now.
lfyou arrange for a lakh ortwo...
We can make a good proposal.
Yes, that's right. A big name
will add credit to her name too.
We'll make fast business.
- Right.
But you don't think too much.
Take your time to think
and then give an answer.
l'll let you know in a day ortwo.
May l take leave?
Mala's mother.
- What is it?
Did you see this picture?
Looks like Mala.
- It is her!
lt says here, The artist of
Sharma International...
New face Mala as a heroine.
Look at this and this!
Such deception!
Why are you screaming?
l'm cying hearing the news
of my death, not screaming.
Look at this! A living
example of shamelessness!
These are my pictures.
Why must you scream?
These are not pictures.
You've slapped me on my face.
Your mother kept nagging me.
Don't give her the freedom
to loaf. And l...
Out of love for you,
l kept cursing her.
You took undue advantage
of my love and decency.

You should be happy that l'm
bringing pride to your family.
lfyou wanted to bring
pride to our family...
You could have burnt this house!
Flames would rise! Why did you
have to play with my honour!
What's wrong in this?
- What's le?
What will our community say
on seeing these dirty pictures?
The pictures you think are dirty
have some value for the world.
There is art and talent in it.
Shamelessness is never art.
The family you'll get married
into is vey cultured and reputed.
They won't see these pictures
from the art point of view.
lfthey are illiterate, travel in
carts when man has gone to the moon...
lt's not my fault.
l've nothing to do with them.
l want you to know my decision.
l'm not ready for marriage.
l want to become afllm star.
What?
You want to become a fllm star!
Now l know why you came
home late evey night.
You've fooled your parents!
This program and that...
ls this the destination
ofdecent daughters?
Yes, that is my destination.
l see. Things have gone overboard.
lfthis is your decision,
hear my decision too.
From today, no more parties,
picnics or going out!
And no college from tomorrow!
You'll be married next month.
Go away!
This is why l've come to
consult you on the sly.
Tell me, what l must do.
You're putting a great
responsibility on me.
When you trust me so much,
l'll support you at evey stage.
For the time being there is
only one solution for you.
Collect whatever money you can
from home and come to me.
Run away from home?
Leave my parents?
You can't achieve success
without sacriflce.
You say something.
-What can l say?
On one hand the goddess offame
stands open armed to embrace you.
On the other hand, the poisonous
snake of marriage wants to crush you.
You yourself are sensible.
Take a decision.
But mind you, this
opportunity won't come again.
Come in.
She has come.
Finally the sun rose at night.
Here's the cash.
- Did you count it?
l brought whatever l laid
hands on, out offear.
Must be more than a lakh.
We'll also prove to be
more than your expectation.
You sit comfortably,
wipe the sweat beads.
No point in worying
about what you've given up.
l'll put this in place.
Look aer her.
- Got it.
Listen...
Did you say something?
- Tell Sharma to hury up.
l'll do that.
Have a drink.
Well done!
What a haul!
Here's your share.
Your share.
- Thanks, boss.
l've given her the drink.
- Come. Your share, Gopal.
Your share.
What about the girl?
- Given her the drink.
Two minutes and..
- Stop whistling.
Varma's share.
You should get double.
What's wrong?
- 2 bundles won't satis me.
l want equal share.
Equal share?
- Yes.
Don't forget l cut the wings
ofthe bird who brought this.
Trapping Mala wasn't
your cup oftea.
Quietly give me halfofthis.
And ifl don't?
Then you are aware ofthe
punishment for inciting an innocent girl...
To steal and tempting her
with false film oers.
So you've thought of
ways to get me arrested.
Yes.
- You probably don't know...
The tongue that rises against me...
lt is locked forever.
Let's go.
Let him be! It's between us.
Why flght for a petty thing?
Come and take whatever you want.
What's the matter?
Did somebody stab you?
Nothing. Just a nightmare.
You dream in the day and scream.
Passengers have tender hearts too.
What if somebody
suflered a stroke?
This girl's scream has
subdued all the passengers.
You sing so well. Sing for us.
Sing that song...
Sit down.
- l'll listen to that song.
Go to Calcutta and hear
it from Pankaj Mallick.
No, sing that...
Bald Tansen, sit in your place.
Calm down. l'll sing a new song.
You wouldn't have heard it.
But on the condition that
eveybody sings with me.
Agree?
- Yes!!
What's your name?
Help me.
Stop the bus!
Do you think the bus
stops anywhere?
This is a bus not atemple.

l climbed and kept it.
- Then what was the sound?
l fell down. Get in.
Sit there.
Baby elephant! Why are
you getting under the seat?
Dad said.
- Dad said?
Do you think l'm a railway ticket
checker. We are a smarter lot.
You've brought your son topless.
You could've given him a shirt.
- His father is wearing his shirt.
Thank heavens you're not
wearing his dhoti.
Qomt bareyourteeth.
ere are you going?
Do you take the nectar of gods?
- What?
We're going to my in-laws place
for a wedding.
Pay up for 3 tickets.
Why three tickets?
We're only two.
- And this baby elephant?
He's a child.
- His Dad wears his shirt.
He'll travel free?
- He's a little kid.
Little foryou, fat for us.
Pay up or l stop the bus.
Mom has the money, not Dad.
Telling eveybody our family
tales! l'll give you a slap!
Mom!
- Don't cy.
Scaring my baby!
Pay for the ticket.
- Given! Money! Money!
Here you are.
Blow the horn.
Overtake the bus.
Who the hell is blowing the horn?
The car behind is honking away.
His mom's wedding maybe. Let him go.
How are you?
No problems in the bus?
Overtake!
Have you understood?
- Yes.
The bus. Let's go.
Tell uncle to look aerthe house.
By the time you get in,

Look aer my mother.
Where to?
- Where l always go.
Going to Goa to your
daughter's in-laws?
Yes, my in laws are dead.
Only hers remain.
l've heard your daughter and
her husband don't get along.
He sent her back last year.
Has he called her back?
- Ofcourse.
l went to her in-laws' place
one day.
And showed them the goddess' form!
Then?
- My son-in-law fell at my feet.
Apologised and took
my daughter home.
This is flne but give me the fare.
Yes.
There's afat hen.
But where's the sound?
Who has brought a hen in the bus?
Good Lord!
- Chicken?
Cooked?
- No, hidden.
So you've brought the hen?
- l have an egg not a chicken.
So why are you laughing?
- My face is like this.
Born laughing? Who used to
Iaugh? Your Mom or Dad?
lt was moonlit. Water
flowed all around.
When l was born, my Mom cried.
And Dad laughed.
Just a minute.
Rter Sohrab Modi yore
the onIy Parsi who acts.
Sit down.
Who's smuggled a hen?
Stop the bus!
What a brake!
l got to eat betel leafforfree.
l want to ask something?
Where's the clucking from?
Where is it? It's not allowed
to bring hens into the bus.
What's in this?
- Books.
Hens not allowed. The bus
won't move till the hen is found.
The basket!
The lady's basket is moving.
ls there a hen in this basket?
lt's not full grown, just a baby.
Let me see the baby.
ls this a baby? And bald at that?
lfthis is a baby,
will the hen be your size?
Rascal! Sinner! Bring my hen back!

And you're asking the

The head is in my hand.
Let's go to the bus fast.

Why are you quiet?
Why don't you say something?
It's as if a snake got your tongue.
th great diMculty

What is it?
Funny guys! Scared of a snake.
What's a snake? Comes from
here and vanishes there.
Catch it and put it in your pocket
People eat snakes in many nations.
Do you know what vitamins it has?
Why are you yelling?
You are Indians.
They flght storms.
Play with peril.
You guys are scared ofa snake!
Recall that you are Arjun's kids.
Bhima's children.
Son of Bhim Singh! How are you?
Eat the vitamin pill and catch it.
You catch it.

Why are you afraid?
This is the snake god.
Won't harm anyone.
Give the driver a kiss.
The conductor?

Thank God.
What is it?

Are you a man or animal?
Always scaring us!
The coward keeps yelling.

in place of a 5 buck hen.
Yet you're cribbing!
- Sinner! l curse you!
Curse! You'll be a hen

And l'll chop and eat you!
An astrologer told me

Take this and rememberwhat l said.
The job should be done.
We'll follow the bus.
Come as soon as you've killed her.
- The bus is coming!

Don't know what's wrong

A little scolding and

What do they know what

Today the groom's family
is coming to see Mala.
What will we tell them?
Anybody home?
There they are.
- Welcome.
Son-in-law hasn't come?
You are so foolish! First ask
us to sit, eat, then ask questions.
Do you think this is
a hotel or restaurant?
That you enter and orderfortea?
l haven't seen her so far.
But...

One coincidence in our home too.
His friend arrived from

What about me? l consider
evey young girl my child.
The grapes are sour.
Forget that, but
l don't understand...
As the boy entered the bus,
he saw the girl and whistled.
The girl got scared.
The boy sat in front of her.
She got confused.
The girl looked at the boy.
Both spoke through their eyes.
God knows what is going on.
lt's a matter ofyouth.
How did you like the song?
- Hey conductor!
Why are you asking her?
Ask me! This is what l think!

He's fallen many times.
He'll get in on his own.
Stop the bus!
Stop or it will be my interval!
Mother, l mean sister, now on

The child is mine. Don't touch me.
Don't touch me.
Here's the money.

And ifthere are no bullets,

Both of us are Brahmins.
But our minds difler.

Being a Brahmin,

You insulted religion!

Being a Brahmin,

But who is he? He came later.

You're disturbing his sleep.
He'll make mincemeat out ofyou!
We too have paid the fare.
Where is that damn conductor?
He's supposed to

Didn't you see how he ran for his
life when this man held his hand?
He's a man only in name.
Why are you hiding yourface?
Didn't you hear your praise?
l'm hard of hearing.
Eveybody says you're

Don't challenge my bravey.
