Souten (1983) Movie Script

1
This is Mr. Shyam, Inspector.
Arrest them.
You are arrested on charges
of bigamy, Mr. Shyam.
But why?
You have married a second time,
although your wife is alive.
That is a crime.
This accusation that you
are leveling against me...
Give your defense in court.
You are insulting three lives...
that are innocent,
blemishless and sacred.
No book of law is greater than
the book of life, Your Honor.
Every page of the book
of my life...
has answers to his allegations!
To get to the truth, however,
we must begin...
from the point
where my own life began.
The name is Gopal, sir.
- Nice name.
I'm here for the
accountants job, sir.
There's an ad. issued by you
in this newspaper.
The ad. says "Tuesday".
So come tomorrow.
I won't get the job, if I come
tomorrow. Someone else will.
Why not? Are you not qualified
enough to be an accountant?
I am, sir.
But I'm also a low-caste, sir.
So what? You can come tomorrow.
I'm an honest man, sir.
I will work hard.
Pay me any salary you think fit, sir.
I agree to every condition.
All right.
But please come tomorrow.
I have a daughter, sir.
She hasn't eaten for 2 days.
If I don't land the job today, she
won't even be able to breathe anymore.
Come with me.
Here are some files
and bills.
It's for you to deal with them.
I'll fix it immediately, sir.
No. Go and eat with
your daughter first.
So you're strong enough to work.
You're a great man, sir.
What do I call
this favor of yours?
My name is Shyam. And you're
Mr. Gopal, my accountant.
Look! I've got food, Radha!
Where did you get
the food from?
I'll explain.
I was out job-hunting and came across
an ad. of a fishing company.
They wanted an accountant.
I went straight to the
company's owner, Mr. Shyam.
"Shyam" (a name for Lord Krishna)?
Yes. Eat something first.
He first asked me to
come tomorrow. And...
What happened then?
I couldn't stop myself. And I
told him that I am a low-caste.
He still insisted
that I come later.
And I had to tell him that
I had a daughter...
who hadn't eaten for two days.
She wouldn't be able to breathe
if I didn't find a job today.
That was it! He gave me the job
without any questions.
He even gave me an advance.
He said, "Go home.
And eat with your daughter"
Where do you find such people
in the world today?
I don't think he's human.
He's God, I say.
Forgive me, Lord.
I was angry with you today.
I said I'd never look at You,
if dad didn't find a job.
And You landed there today
in the form of a human being!
To give dad a job!
You didn't even change your name...
You call yourself Shyam!
Now that You have come
down to the earth for me...
I will meet You.
I surely will.
I've been noticing your performance
for many days now, Vijay.
Am I not producing
the desired results, sir?
On the contrary, you are
doing extremely well.
Tell me something.
Why do you work so hard?
You just have a job here.
How do you stand to
benefit, in any case?
It's enough achievement that a man
like you is praising me.
You have achieved so much
through your hard work, sir.
Mere praise isn't enough, Vijay.
I want to give you something.
So ask for it.
If you must, sir, give me
the chance to begin my life...
so I am my own boss.
So listen. I had no trawler
to begin with.
But I will give you a trawler.
You will achieve the rest with
your hard work and destiny.
What were you looking at?
I was dreaming.
- Really? With your eyes opened?
This is one thing I have
always dreamt about.
See that ship there?
- Yes.
I want to own a ship
like that one-day.
Your dream can come true, sir.
How?
- There are so many...
banks and financial bodies
in Mauritius.
For instance, look at this ad.
of the Bank of Mauritius.
You can raise a loan
from this bank, sir.
Where are you going, sir?
In that dress?
- Why not?
This is my business dress.
There is no doubt that you have
a sound and profitable project.
You have immersed yourself
in the project.
You have the confidence
and the determination.
But you lack experience.
You do notice my
inexperience, sir...
but can't you see how
determined I am?
It's like this; I have the Will.
And you have the money.
Nothing is impossible if
these could get together.
Loans are not advanced on
mere determination, Shyam.
The client must at least be
experienced...
in the business
he seeks a loan for.
I'm sorry to say this, sir,
but I have confidence in my ideas.
I will manage a loan
from somewhere.
But do remember...
you'll be the loser, not me.
Wait, Shyam.
I'm throwing a small party
this evening.
The Directors of the bank
will be attending it.
Why don't you join us?
Welcome, Shyam... these gentlemen
are the Directors of our bank.
This is my wife.
Less of a wife, that is.
And more of a gambler.
That's Mr. Sampat.
As they say, God comes second...
"but the wife's brother
comes first"
He used to be in the
shipping business, which...
He's working with me nowadays.
What do you know
about ships, Mr. Shyam?
I was born on a ship.
I was into fishing earlier...
sleeping and waking up
on the high seas.
One of these vessels
is called a ship.
You will sink, all right.
But you will take us along, too!
You need to see the latest sea liners.
You will be awe-struck, young man!
They're a 5-star hotel on sea,
with swimming pools, etc. etc.
My manners prevent me
from laughing at you, sir.
Whoever told you that I want
to buy a luxury ship?
I'm looking for a cargo vessel...
with deep-freezers and departments
for cleaning and sorting out fish.
For example, there are so
many islands around Mauritius.
Sea Union is one. Where they
have a high standard of living.
The most expensive thing here
is rather cheap for them.
The demand for fish
far outstrips the supply.
There are you.
The wealth is there for the taking...
and we stand mute spectators.
You have exceptional
ideas and spirit.
This is my daughter...
- My name is Rukmini.
But I'm fondly called "Ruku".
My name is Shyam.
- I know.
Dad's been praising you ever since
he has returned from the bank.
Leave him alone
for a while, Shyam.
The rich take time to
give their nod of consent.
How do you find Mauritius?
It's beautiful.
I have dreams of making it big.
I'll throw a lot of parties, too.
You mustn't dream of that.
- Why not?
We have such parties every day.
It's the same crowd, the same
small talk, the same gossip.
I'm quite sick of all this!
And I've been dreaming of such
a lifestyle for years.
I used to like all this, too.
But now, I've had
quite enough of it.
Your arrival here today is like
a whiff of fresh air in my life.
Know when you feel like this?
- When?
When a beautiful girl
grows up.
The master wants you, madam.
Did you send for us?
- Yes. I have good news for Shyam.
The directors of the bank have
expressed an opinion in your favor.
Your loan is as good
as sanctioned.
We can discuss the rest
of the matter tomorrow.
I don't want the loan anymore, sir.
I've changed my mind.
You said this man was fast...
but he's turned out to be "express".
How about some tea?
You're always out...
where have you been?
I have asked you a question.
Notice her silence?
This is rather personal, mom.
What are you doing in the office?
Aren't you out, playing colors?
You know I'm a low-caste, sir.
Who'd play with me?
I'll play colors with you!
To hell with the world!
The papers might be ruined, sir.
- So let them be ruined.
They've very important, sir.
What's so important
about them?
I wanted to give you
a surprise, sir.
You're getting a loan of 10 million
from a big financial house, sir.
You can buy the ship!
I've got to submit
the papers tomorrow.
You haven't changed yet!
Still in the mood of colors?
Come on upstairs.
- What for?
Just come on upstairs! Hurry up!
What's up?
You look very happy
This is Mr. Gopal; my friend,
philosopher and guide.
He didn't celebrate
Holi today.
He says, he a low-caste;
nobody plays with him.
Could I play with the doll?
- Sure.
Get lost, you out caste!
Why did you scold the kid?
These low-caste people
are filthy, my dear.
Don't ever play with them.
What happened?
I'm a low-caste, sir.
What's wrong, Ruku?
Can't you see?
My car isn't starting up.
I could push it...
if you wish.
How will a poor man
push the car of a rich?
Call someone else then!
It's the festival of Holi
and it's a holiday.
I could call Mr. Gopal,
if you wish.
Call anyone!
Give it a thought.
He's an untouchable.
All right, I'll come him over.
Give me a hand, Mr. Gopal.
Let's give her a push.
Give yourself and the car
a nice wash, okay?!
You shouldn't be fighting
with her for me...
Do you want to know
how much I respect you?
Come with me.
We lived in the slums,
before I was born...
and even after I was born.
My Dad and uncle
had a dream.
Of owning a beautiful house.
Unfortunately, however...
the dream died with them.
To realize that dream
I bought this house.
And whenever I set my eyes on you,
I remember my dad and uncle...
as if God had sent you
to replace them.
You must live in this house now.
It will make me feel...
as if dad and uncle live here.
But...
Please don't refuse.
Or it'll break my heart.
Very well, sir.
But I have a request, sir.
Please make up with Rukmini.
She loves you very much.
I'd have laughed it off,
had she insulted me.
But I can't tolerate someone
insulting a man I respect.
I'm not playing around with
her either. I love her!
We, the out-castes, have borne
these insults for ages, sir.
We are used to it.
I can't tolerate anyone
insulting you in my presence.
If she truly loves me...
she'll have to accept you, too.
What are you doing, dad?!
Guess who played color with me?
- Who did?
Mr. Shyam!
Yes! He changed the world
for me today.
He has given us a
beautiful bungalow.
But there was an episode which
marred the happiness, Radha.
What happened?
- Rukmini arrived there.
Who's Rukmini?
She's a beautiful girl...
Shyam loves her very much.
She loves him, too.
I see.
Yes... but why are
you worried?
What was that you said about
the happiness being married?
Mr. Shyam happened to pay me
a bit more attention.
And she was pretty angry.
- You're really dumb, dad!
Am y?
Of course. You must've
stayed put there.
Had you gone away,
they'd have patched up.
You upset things, didn't you?
I'll do something now.
Is this why You got my father
to name me Radha?
So I'd live up to my name, even if
my desires remained unfulfilled?
It's okay, Lord.
Love appears in many forms.
Love is worship;
Love is prayer.
Stop worrying about me.
And heed my prayer.
Shyam and Rukmini love
each other very much.
So bring them together and
fill their lives with joy.
Let Shyam have Rukmini's love...
and give me the right
to worship Shyam.
Won't you ask me in?
Are you angry?
forgive me.
You must seek forgiveness
from Mr. Shyam.
You perhaps don't know...
he's like a father to me.
I'll apologize to him.
But you must forgive me now.
I can't stay away
from you anymore.
Are you sure the Trust will
sanction a loan of 10 million?
I' m sure, sir.
The trustee was to arrive at 3 p.m.
and it's already 3.30.
He must be arriving.
There he is.
The Trust has sanctioned
your loan.
Come to the office and collect your
check, after signing the papers.
Your Trust has given my dream
its wings, by sanctioning the loan.
This is only the beginning.
You can even seek a
loan of 100 million.
We will always be
around for you.
I'm grateful for the trust
you have shown in me.
Mom wants to see you.
- Why? ls everything okay?
Let's go.
I'll explain.
What is all this about...?
Do have the orders
sent, Mr. Gopal!
Are you sure they've
called me over?
It looks as if they don't
like me calling on them.
He couldn't believe that
you wanted to meet him.
Greetings.
A man's inferiority complex
takes time to fade away.
Sure. And manners are something
you learn by and by.
Go and see if everything's
okay in the house, Ruku.
Sit down.
- Sure. Sit down.
We had to talk to you someday.
So, the sooner we did it,
the better.
Have something.
What a shame! Only illiterates
eat with bare hands, young man!
Those from high society
use forks and knives.
This is how...
If you're trying to tell me that
I don't belong to your society...
I must tell you that
I know that very well.
I've told Ruku very often.
But she says that it doesn't
make any difference.
There ill-mannered people,
although they are well dressed...
and use forks and knives.
Ruku is still a kid, Shyam.
But you are no kid.
Name your price to
get out of her life?
I've heard that insult,
and I am silent.
What bigger proof do you need
that I love your daughter?
Your love for her cannot give her the
luxuries and status she is used to.
These things have become
a habit for her.
Habits can change, madam.
Please don't worry.
I give you my word.
I will lay all these luxuries
at your daughter's feet.
What is a beggar capable of?
Now listen, brother-in-law.
You have no right to
treat my guest like that.
Ruku wasn't born
to your sister.
She's my daughter.
And my writ still runs here!
Apologize to him...
he will be my son-in-law.
Let's have a photograph.
Join us, Mr. Gopal.
You've got the works here, Renu.
This is the grandest reception
we've had in Mauritius.
I've done my best, Shanti.
I'm the bride's
Stepmother, you see.
I didn't want people to pick
holes in this and that...
Mr. Accountant...
You do look happy today.
lam, sir... but I'm sorry.
I didn't recognize you.
I'm known to break stones
with a piece of glass.
I'm Rukmini's uncle.
The name is Sampat. Sampatlal.
I'm pleased to meet you.
Obviously. You would be.
Your boss has married
a rich girl, after all.
She's not just rich, sir.
She's a very good girl, too.
Just about anyone can marry
a good girl, accountant.
But few are married
to the rich.
Your boss has married
Raisaheb's daughter...
and is already dreaming
of inheriting his millions.
But you know, I'm famous for
breaking stones with glass.
What happened to you?
- I broke my leg.
Tell me. How did Shyam and Rukmini
look as a couple?
They looked as if they
were made for each other.
Then what the book said is true.
- What did it say?
You don't read at all!
I'm the librarian who does
all the reading.
The book said that marriages
are made in heaven.
To start our lives together...
I've bought this new bungalow.
My dreams and aspirations...
all lie in that house.
Here you are.
Bless your daughter-in-law, mom.
And tell her how I'm longing
for a cute little daughter.
You will give me a cute little
daughter very soon, won't you?
I'm so happy, Shyam!
I was fed up of my life earlier.
But your love is like the ocean.
I don't feel like coming out of it.
How about making for the oceans?
These experiences of love
that I have been through...
were all alien to me, Shyam.
Every moment has
brought a new feeling.
I am proud to be your wife.
I want to give you all
the happiness in life, Ruku.
I want to make it so big...
that should destiny have
overlooked some happiness for us...
I want to buy that and
lay it at your feet.
Shyam has another name, you know?
What is that?
- My work.
I must live for your
happiness, Shyam.
That's like a good girl!
How about a dip in the seas?
- No, Shyam.
I'd rather plunge into
your arms... not the seas.
The team of experts from Paris
has arrived, sir.
They're waiting outside. Shall I
inform them of a meeting tomorrow?
No. They've traveled
a great distance.
Let's hold the meeting today.
- But, sir... it's almost 8.
It's only the second day
of your wedding.
Your wife must be awaiting you.
You very well know that
work is a passion for me.
This is no time to come home!
Simple... a man who's married
a day ago...
returns home at midnight...
it's obvious that his wife
will be mad at him!
That's what I told the foreigners!
That there's a vast difference
in our culture and theirs.
We Indians have a lot to do to
make up with an angry wife.
We've got to make her feel
worshipped... revered...
He has Ruku under this trance
and landed a slap in our face.
If I don't make Ruku slap him someday,
I'll never boast about my name again.
You're right. Shyam has married
our money, not Ruku.
But don't you worry.
He won't get a penny from here,
so long as I'm around.
In fact, I'll strip him
of whatever he has.
I'm known for breaking
stones with glass.
What are you doing here, dear?
We thought we wouldn't be
seeing you for a couple of months.
That you'd be honeymooning
in London, Paris...
No We aren't going anywhere
on a honeymoon, uncle.
Why not?
A team of experts has
arrived from France...
and Shyam has no time at all.
Won't my only daughter
even have a honeymoon?
And I had such great ideas.
The things I planned for them!
I suggest you spend the money
on their honeymoon.
Book hotels all over the world
and send them two air-tickets.
And see how he doesn't
find the time.
Our darling daughter is not going
to have these times again!
Thanks, uncle.
I'll go and see dad now.
This is only the first
of spark in a haystack.
What do you mean?
I'm known for breaking
stones with glasses!
I'm watching the world map.
Do you know why?
I'm having a bedroom built on the
new cargo-ship I've bought.
A honeymoon cabin.
We will go a world cruise
on the ship...
and make the seven seas
a witness to our love!
It'll be our ship; our hardwork;
our honeymoon...
everything on board
will belong to us!
And suppose I give you wings right
now, will you fly with me?
With these tickets, we can fly
to any corner of the world.
Your mother and uncle must've
made this arrangement, isn't it?
They thought we'd get a free trip
and take off on a honeymoon.
And you were naive enough to accept
the tickets and bring them here.
I don't see anything wrong in this.
So what if I've brought the tickets?
Really?
The wings that you buy
with others' money...
drive you away from your home.
And those who take to such wings,
never come back home. Never!
You're always complicating matters.
You don't understand, Ruku.
Your Mom and uncle have done this
deliberately, to humiliate me!
I don't agree with you, Shyam.
I think it's your middle
class mentality speaking.
What? Well, all right.
Maybe I have a third class mentality.
But I will not tolerate
this insult!
Go and return those
tickets immediately!
Won't it insult my mom and uncle
if I return the tickets to them?
Who are you more bothered about?
ls it them? Or me?
You are being obstinate, Shyam!
They did this only to
make us happy.
And you're turning it
into a prestige issue!
You will have to return
the tickets instantly!
I'm not going anywhere!
Neither will I return the tickets
nor go on a honeymoon!
Why did you change
your program, dear?
There were so many people to see
you off at the airport last night.
The roses they brought! You could
call the aircraft a honeymoon plane!
And we were terribly embarrassed.
You should at least have told us
that you were not leaving.
Actually, Shyam's very busy attending
to the experts' team from France.
I told him to put it off.
Work comes first, you see.
Besides, you know how passionate
Shyam is about his work.
That is all right. But what are
all these toys for?
You don't even have
a child yet.
What madness is this?
Shyam is crazy about children.
He never had a sister.
And so...
he's badly looking forward
to having a baby girl.
Wonderful! Great desires!
What can I say now?
Speak to her, sis.
You are just married and you're
already thinking of having babies.
Don't make a mistake in haste.
A baby so early would
ruin your figure.
I've seen it all!
The moment you have
a baby at home...
there's a change in
the husband's attitude.
Take my advise.
Go in for an abortion.
We're rid of the team
of experts, at last.
Let's eat at your place today.
- Certainly, sir.
I'll make some pancakes for you.
That'll be fun.
You? Doesn't your daughter
do the cooking?
She's found a job
as a librarian, sir.
The government has
even given her quarters.
So, okay. We'll eat at
my place in that case.
But, sir...
Things have changed...
so has Ruku.
She's anyway away at a party with
her mom and will return late.
So let's go. Common.
How dare you enter my bedroom?
I brought him in here, Ruku.
We were hungry and sol had
the food brought over.
Even if you brought him here,
why did he sit on the bed?
Why didn't he remember
that this is my bed...
and that he's an untouchable!
She's right, sir.
I should have remembered that
I'm an untouchable.
A dog must remember not to
eat something...
if you happen to leave
a vessel uncovered.
Please forgive me.
I'll never make this mistake again.
You broke the poor man's heart,
didn't you?
You have severed his
relations with this house.
You can ahead and share
relations, Shyam.
I'm not even going to sleep
on that bed anymore.
Why didn't you return the car
even after I asked you to?
You perhaps don't know, Shyam.
I've always got what I wanted.
It's not right to invest money in
cars, when the business needs it.
And you know, the money
I have is a loan.
Who asked you for the money?
You know my father. Don't bother.
The car will be paid for.
You get angry over
every little thing.
Why've you called me
to the office?
I have a surprise for you.
We're taking an Air Mauritius
flight to Paris this evening.
What for?
- We haven't had a honeymoon.
So I thought, since I was attending
a business conference there...
we could have a honeymoon and
wrap up my work, too.
But what's the hurry
for a honeymoon?
Finish your work first. We can have
our honeymoon after a year or two.
And why return the ticket
for a few Rupees?
I'd rather tear up your ticket.
Who's the one who's playing
with our lives? Who is it?!
Don't you forget, that it is
the people in this house...
who have given you a real life.
Or what life did you lead?
I was very happy with
the life I used to lead.
I didn't have your bank balance
slapping me in the face.
I didn't have it always
belittling me and my pride!
Always remember.
She's no longer your daughter.
She's my wife, my honor
and my pride!
By spoiling her, you are
spoiling my life!
What happened, Shyam?
Ruku was given a million Rupees.
And my family was thrust into
the furnace of destruction.
She has gambled with your
money today. But soon...
My daughter has so much
of money...
that she could buy out
your entire future!
I suggest you set right
your own present.
Buying our people's future
can always come later.
You have never been a good wife.
But I didn't expect you
to be such a bad mother!
You are insulting me for
this insignificant man!
You are insulting me by calling my
son-in-law an insignificant man!
By getting your daughter into the
dirty of gambling!
Mothers like you have a lot
to regret. Remember that.
And fathers like you can
give their children happiness...
only after they are dead!
Please don't say
such things, mom.
May God give Papa
a thousand years to live.
Did you hear that?
Ruku's not bad at heart.
Will you agree to a suggestion?
Your wish is my command, sir.
Ruku will inherit everything
upon my death.
But you must have noticed how
childish and immature she is.
So I want you to invest
my money in your business.
You know very well that I'd
never accept a loan from you.
In that case,
make Ruku your partner.
A man can't take his own decisions
in a partnership, sir.
Can you do me a favor then?
Please, sir.
Do not belittle yourself.
Anything you say is the
writ of God for me.
Father? This is Radha here.
Oh, hello. Go on.
I've got my first salary today.
I want to spend it on
Mr. Shyam and Rukmini.
Invite them for lunch,
will you?
All right... just hold on.
It's Radha, sir. She has
got her first salary today.
She couldn't attend your wedding...
so she wants you and your wife
to join us for lunch.
But...
I'll bring Rukmini over.
We'll certainly have lunch with you.
It's okay...
they're coming over.
I've committed something
on your behalf, Ruku.
Everything you say
is okay with me.
So get dressed soon.
We've got to go over for lunch.
Where to?
- You have already promised me.
So why question me?
Okay, let's go.
I knew you wouldn't refuse.
So I'll tell you.
Mr. Gopal and...
- What?!
Eat at Gopal's place?
That untouchable?!
I can't stand the man!
How will I eat with him?!
At least hear me out.
I will listen to nothing.
This is the desire of
an innocent person.
To hell with such desires!
I've given them my word.
You can always say that your
partner wasn't willing.
I haven't asked for much, Ruku.
Neither did I expect you to ask
for something so petty.
I won't go with you. Period!
And remember...
you're not the only owner anymore.
You have an equal partner.
Mr. Shyam! Come on in!
Are you Radha?
- That's right.
That was a beautiful song
you were singing.
"Life, the ocean of sorrows..."
You have tears in your eyes.
- Tears of joy, actually.
Have you come alone?
Yes. She took ill
at the last moment.
Please come in, sir.
Sit down.
I know so much about you,
thanks to Dad...
that I think even you'd
lag behind me in this respect!
Really? How much do you know me?
- So much!
Dad praises you so much!
You'd be thrilled to know!
No thank you. I'd rather
keep my senses.
Dad says you a very
ambitious man.
You want to fly higher
than the skies.
One needs inspiration to fulfill
his dreams, Radha.
You wouldn't lack that
with Rukmini around.
Yes... I don't lack it at all.
There seems to be a storm
raging in your heart.
A storm you are trying to control.
But you can't stop it.
I could stop a single storm...
but there are thousands
of them in my heart.
Never mind that.
Let's talk about something else.
How will you talk
about anything else...
when you're not at peace
with yourself?
So, how do I find peace?
By giving me all your sorrows.
No. I can't do that.
It's my burden.
I must bear it.
You must share the burden,
when it gets to be too much.
I haven't asked for your joys.
I seek your sorrows.
Can't you give me even that?
What have you been talking about?
- Nothing much, dad.
Your dad says you work at the
MGI library.
Yes. I'm a librarian.
Are we only going to talk?
Won't you give us some food?
I don't feel like going away,
but I must.
That was a wonderful song;
the food was good, too.
But what is best...
are you folks and your
feeling of belonging.
Where are you going?
- To fetch medicines for your wife.
What happened, Ruku?
What's happened to her?
- You don't have to scream.
She's a bit off weather.
The gynecologists' are examining her.
A gynecologist?
ls it good news then?
It is good news, isn't it?
Actually...
it was necessary to
conduct the operation.
Operation? What operation?
When was she operated?
I'm sorry, Mr. Shyam. But you
have taken no precautions.
Precautions? What precautions
are you talking about?
The post-operation precautions.
What operation was it?
What's wrong with Ruku?
This is surprising, Mr. Shyam.
You ought to know everything.
Ruku didn't want a baby
for 4 or 5 years.
So we did a vasectomy on her.
But she did not take any of the
precautions I had recommended.
Rukmini spent 8 hours every day
at the swimming pool.
As a result of which...
As a result of which?
Go on.
She can't bear a child anymore.
Faith is the biggest bond
between man and wife.
And you have betrayed my trust!
You have betrayed my faith in you!
Can't you see? She's ill.
And you're bothering her!
Don't interfere...
You must care for the patient,
Mr. Shyam.
Could you please go out now?
Please?
Have you seen what your
daughter-in-law has done, mom?
You were lucky to die early...
or you'd never have been able
to bear the shock!
There will be no child
in this house anymore.
We will never have a daughter.
You are worried about the baby
and not your wife!
You are a cheap and
selfish man!
Your wife is lying ill.
And you... you are enacting a drama
before that picture!
What you have done with my life
is worse than a drama!
I will never forgive you for this.
Go away, I say.
Get out!
I don't know why
I was drawn here.
I just came along.
Are you in a hurry?
Could you wait for 5 minutes?
It's time for the library to close.
Could I ask you something?
- Go ahead.
Why are you always
at war with yourself?
I'm not.
Your face says it all.
You are in conflict with yourself.
I want to solve
this conflict!
But how do I do it?
Smile. And your sorrows
will go away.
Smile.
Do you like watching football?
Look at the irony
for the football.
It was made to be
kicked around!
I told you!
No. 10 had to score!
The weather bureau has
issued a warning.
A cyclone is fast approaching
Mauritius.
The match has to be suspended.
Spectators are advised to reach
their homes as early as possible.
If it wasn't for the storm,
I'd have offered you some coffee.
But the warning has been issued.
You have a 40-minute drive ahead.
So I won't stop you.
Take care!
You are always sitting pretty!
Come to drop me sometimes...
and I'd worship the ground
You tread on.
You are omniscient, Lord.
Shyam came with a storm
in his heart today.
Do give him peace of mind, Lord.
I know you are very angry with me.
What do we share anymore?
Don't say such things, Shyam.
It's true. I didn't want to
have a baby for 4 or 5 years.
But... I didn't ever imagine that
I'd never be able to bear a child.
I regret what I have done.
I don't know why, but I was
misled by my mother.
What will regret and apologies
do now?
This is precisely the difference
between a mother and stepmother.
She didn't let you be a wife,
nor become a mother.
She has turned you into
an object of sex and lust!
This body that you possess...
is no longer the sacred
embodiment of two souls in love.
It is now only for lust!
You are insulting me!
It is you who has insulted
me and my love!
You have defiled
even your body...
that deserved the exalted
status of a mother!
You are talking a lot of nonsense!
You are heaping abuses on me!
I'm not just your wife...
I'm a woman, too!
You have abused the
pride of your wife!
You have abused
a woman's honor!
It is actually your
arrogance at work, Shyam.
It is your money that
is doing the talking!
You are no longer the man
I had loved.
Only when God once again brings you
back to being a fisherman...
maybe you will deserve
my love.
God will straighten you out!
He will avenge me!
What happened, Gopal?
We are doomed! The new ship
we had bought, has sunk.
The entire crew is missing.
Send helicopters and rescue-teams...
save as many you can!
I've done all that, sir.
But there has been no response.
Try again!
The helicopters and the
rescue teams have returned.
No one has survived.
Even the insurance of
the ship had expired.
Won't you even ask me...
what I've been doing these days
and nights in the office?
I'm used to all this now.
I know your other passion;
work.
There is a time even for
taunts and jibes, Ruku.
I have returned home
a broken man.
lam not taunting you.
And I'm not interested in
picking up any fights.
I've got to attend a party
and I'm already late.
Despite what I've told you...
will you still go to the party?
Stop talking in riddles and
tell me what's happened.
Our ship that was headed here...
ran into rough weather...
it has sunk.
So what's wrong? We can
claim the insurance.
The insurance cover
had expired.
The entire crew on the ship
was killed. No one has survived.
I'm sorry about those
killed, Shyam.
As for the insurance cover...
any company with people like
Mr. Gopal at its helm of affairs...
will meet with the same fate.
Must you go to the party?
It's the Governor's party.
When I accepted the invitation
to attend the party...
I didn't know your ship would sink.
You know now.
You know too, these people
of high society.
How they take offense when one
doesn't attend their parties.
You are worried about
the high-society...
but you don't care for those
whose wives and children...
are widowed and orphaned!
I told you I'm sorry!
What else can I do?
Must I mourn those whom I have
never even met nor known?
Must I sit in mourning with you?
No. You must rejoice, Ruku.
Tonight is celebration
time for you!
God has listened to the
curses you hurled at me!
These taunts of yours
do pierce the heart, Shyam!
The cyclone's going to hit the
city! There's been a warning!
Where are you off to, sir?
There's been a third warning!
Why did you venture out
in this storm?
Something could have
happened to you.
The storm back home was
worse than this one.
So I came over.
A ship of ours sank today.
Every member of the crew
is dead.
Not one survived.
I couldn't bear to see the plight
of their widows and children...
Where are you going?
I must leave.
You faced dangers
to arrive here...
but I'm not going to let you
go out in the stormy night.
Try to understand, Radha!
No matter what! I will not
let you endanger your life.
For my sake, Mr. Shyam!
You may leave,
after the storm abates.
The storm will pass,
and so will the night...
but what will you do if
this is called a sinful night?
Merely giving it a name will
not make it a sinful night!
But who will understand our
relationship, Radha?
Had there been someone else here,
even your dad...
I'd have stayed back.
And what if I give you
a greater witness than my dad?
There He is...
the biggest of all witnesses.
Who is it?
I'm the one. I break stones
with a piece of glass.
Whom do you wish to meet?
The gentleman I wish to see
is in there.
There was a cyclone last night.
Since you didn't return,
everybody was worried.
I was looking for you and I saw your
car in a bad shape. I was scared.
But I see now...
you are pretty comfortable here.
Will you go out for a moment?
Sure. Step into some clothes.
I'll wait for you.
My life is surrounded by storms.
If I need you again...
may I come over?
As Rukmini's husband, my doors
will always be open for you.
Greetings, uncle.
Greetings.
Miss Rukmini...
Please don't be formal.
I'm like your daughter.
Call me Ruku.
What are you doing at
a poor man's place...
You're being formal again!
I've come to apologize
for all my mistakes.
I'm terribly ashamed at
what I have done, uncle.
No, dear. You are like
my daughter, Radha.
Isn't she in?
- Who? Radha?
Yes. I've come to invite you to
a party at my place this evening.
Invite me?
- Yes, uncle.
I realize now.
There are no castes.
There is nothing like untouchability.
Besides, Radha and you happen
to be a part of Shyam's life.
Would it be okay for us
to attend the party?
You're going to have so many
big personalities there.
So you haven't forgiven me.
No. That's not true, dear.
For Radha's sake, uncle.
You must bring her along, too.
I will prove it to everyone...
that the low-castes are
worthy of worship.
Please don't tell Shyam that
I have invited you.
Let's give him a surprise.
I invited them.
To surprise you.
Isn't that nice?
Well, of course.
Greetings, madam.
Greetings, sir.
So this is Radha?
- Yes.
This is for you.
Bihari... please
take this bouquet.
Radha is young and beautiful, uncle.
Haven't you got her married yet?
No.
It's difficult to find a nice boy
for educated girls in our community.
In which case, she must have
her eyes on a wealthy family.
I don't drink.
Perhaps not openly. Could I have it
mixed with Coca-Cola?
No thank you.
I really don't drink.
What kind of behavior is that?
Have you invited them here
to insult them?
Don't say such things, darling.
I was taking "special" care
of a "special" guest.
Please don't misunderstand me.
Uncle... please come.
My husband will look after he.
Have a drink.
- Thank you. I don't drink.
She doesn't drink.
And you don't either.
Well... I'll have this drink.
What will her guests think
if you say something to her now?
Please don't say anything to her
till the party is over.
For my sake!
Somebody said you've arranged
for a cabaret tonight, Rukmini.
The cabaret artiste
has ditched me.
I must present a special act
for "special" guests.
Well, well!
Somebody had to only touch me...
and you're all fired up!
And what did I go through when you
spent a night with another woman?
Do you know that?
What are you talking about?
Which woman? And which night?
Which woman indeed!
Swear it on her head!
Did you or did you not...
spend the stormy night of
August 9, with this woman?
But, Rukmini...
- Shut up!
I've put that question to him!
Speak up! Answer me!
Did you not spend the night with her?
Yes. I did spend the
night there.
But that was one night that was
brighter than the day.
Radha and I were there, too.
Radha was on one side
and I on the other...
and the night...
it simply passed between us.
Do not use words to cover up
your dirty deeds, Shyam!
Swear it on her!
Don't you love her?
Yes, I do!
Open the door, Papa!
Open the door!
You? At this hour?
Shyam is all right, I hope?
- Don't even utter his name!
I've walked out of
his house for good!
You should not have
left the house, Ruku.
Since you object to
my leaving the house...
you must ask me why
I have done it.
Why?
Shyam has an untouchable woman
for his mistress.
No... Shyam would never
do a thing like this!
Shyam... have you heard
what Ruku is saying?
That's not true, dad.
Ruku has walked out of my house.
And I've come to take her back.
What is better proof
of my love for her?
You've heard that, Ruku.
He swore in the presence of all
the guests at the party today.
He placed his hand on her head...
and admitted that he's
having an affair with her.
This is between man and wife, Ruku.
We can sort it out at home.
Let's go home, Ruku.
Take that woman home who's having
fun at my daughter's expense!
Why must you take my daughter
to your house?
Keep out of this!
He's here to take his wife home.
And he has the right to it!
As if he alone has all the rights!
Ask your daughter...
will she go back?
- She will, of course.
How will she go back,
brother-in-law?
Ruku knows. I have seen Shyam
with Radha in her bedroom.
I can't say more, it's embarrass...
- Hold that dirty tongue!
You have always stopped us from speaking out.
Don't you realize? He has ensnared
Ruku, only for your wealth!
What have the two of you given me
except sorrows?
And now, you are bent on
breaking Ruku's home!
For the last time, Ruku.
Go to your house!
My foot, she will!
I won't let her go!
Is this what I have
been reduced to?!
What happened, dad?
You push him into the jaws of death
and ask what happened!
Get out... get the hell
out of my sight!
Ask the root of all the evil
to get out!
I beg of you...
Not another word, please.
Please call the doctor. Please.
This is all your doing,
you scoundrel!
You are making a false accusation.
Please step aside...
and let me pay my last respects.
Don't you dare touch him
with those dirty hands!
Just once, Ruku...
let me touch his feet.
I beg of you.
Why are you acting like a beggar?
Get lost!
Guard! Throw him out!
We can't stay here another minute.
After all the mudslinging
we have been subjected to...
we can't face anyone.
We will leave immediately.
And where will we go? I have a job.
And so do you.
I can't continue with
Mr. Shyam's job anymore.
Why not? Why must
you quit the job?
And what have I done? Do you
suspect my chastity too?
Even if I believe it, no one else
in the world will!
Rukmini will never believe it.
But Rukmini (from the epics) has
always been suspicious of Radha.
She was always suspicious of Radha's
sacred relations with Lord Krishna.
As for the world, it did not
even spare a chaste woman like Sita.
Sita had to go through a test
by fire to prove her chastity.
What test will you go through?
- Any test you subject me to.
So let's leave this place.
And walk out of Shyam's life.
Far away. Where Rukmini and Shyam
don't even get to hear of us.
Wait, Radha.
Please open the door, Mr. Gopal!
No. This door will
not be opened.
The world has shut
its doors on me.
At least you mustn't.
The Gopal you knew
was your employee.
And this Gopal happens to be
a girl's father.
I will not open the door!
Radha! Make him see reason.
Please!
Open the door, please father.
No. I will not open
the door for him.
It's Rukmini's husband who
has come here, Radha.
Will you now open the door?
Please, father. That man
is suffering!
He carries a storm in his heart.
I beg of you, father!
For a little while... please!
No... I won't.
Please read my father's will.
I, Prannath Pasha, son of
Vinod Kumar Pasha...
hereby entrust all
my properties,"
my estates and financial companies
and all my belongings...
jointly to my daughter Rukmini
and her husband, Shyam Mohit.
Should my son-in-law meet with
an accident and die...
or in the event of my son-in-law
divorcing my daughter...
all my property shall then
belong to my daughter, Rukmini.
My wife, Renu Prannath Pasha,
is my daughter's stepmother.
She shall have no
right to my property.
She ought to be given Rs.2000 every
month, to cover her expenses.
My brother-in-law who is the
PRO of our company...
be immediately removed
from his post.
His salary of Rs.5000 be
stopped immediately, too.
Instead, he be given 200 Rupees
every month, as expenses.
What are you talking about?
You must surely be mistaken!
Please read that again!
He be given 200 Rupees
every month, as expenses.
I have no right to your
father's property, all right.
But he has done an injustice
to my sister!
Uncle, Mummy...
please don't worry.
I own all the properties
and estates now.
But who have I, except for
the two of you?
Bless you, dear!
We have always been your own!
I have even unearthed a secret
nobody knows about!
Shyam did not want to borrow money
from your father, to buy that ship.
But your father floated
an imaginary trust...
and lent Shyam millions to buy
as many as four vessels!
This lawyer is himself
the Trustee of that trust.
Tell her, Mr. Lawyer...
How much does Shyam owe the trust?
We have the accounts.
In all, he owes 1230 million
in principal and interest.
So how will you recover
the money from Shyam?
What will you attach?
He has distributed
most of the money...
to the families of those who
died in the ship-collapse.
He still has some properties
in his name.
We can recover some of our money
by attaching those properties.
We must move with an
attachment immediately.
Exactly. We must move, before he
sells the rest of his property.
If you wish to have Shyam's
properties attached, Rukmini"
put your signature on this
authority letter.
This is Shyam.
Serve the attachment orders on him.
All his ships, boats, houses and
bank accounts have been seized.
I'm famous for breaking
stones with glasses.
Open the door, guard.
You are not allowed inside.
- Why?
- Your mother-in-laws orders.
You had forgotten something
very dear to you.
And you'd really have missed it.
So, I've come to
return your car.
Take the keys of
the car from him, guard.
Your father has left behind
a flourishing business, madam.
Be careful how you handle it.
Anything could happen to it
in wrong hands.
I don't need your opinion.
I know what I've got to do.
You're right.
These are papers of
some properties...
about which even you
know nothing.
Can't recover your father's money from the things attack
please recover it from this.
And what do you want
in return?
What can be greater
wealth than happiness?
I came to give you something, madam.
Not to take away anything.
Why do you have this
additional plate laid, madam?
Nobody joins you to eat.
We are here, aren't we?
And at the right time, too!
Will you have some food?
- Certainly.
Please take that chair, uncle.
Let this be vacant.
You'll get another plate.
Are you expecting someone, dear?
Shyam has to return some day,
hasn't he?
Wonderful! She's still expecting
Shyam to return!
Expect the man who found
another woman for himself?
He must've even married by now.
I don't believe it.
You will.
In a couple of months.
The lawyer thinks we have
waited enough.
We must file for divorce.
But I don't want
a divorce!
Whatever I have done is
only to have Shyam back.
Not to lose him.
What happens when people
get to know...
that he married that untouchable
despite your presence?
That will be the last day
of our relations, mummy.
But I need proof!
Proof! Certainly...
I'll get you the proof.
But we had better not give him the
chance to humiliate us publicly.
She's right! Before
he can blacken our face...
let's do away with him
like a fly in a cup of milk!
I'm sorry, uncle!
I will do nothing without proof!
Nothing! Never!
We're back where
we started from!
Don't you worry, sister.
I'm famous. For breaking
stones with glasses.
You seem to be very angry.
We have nothing to do
with you anymore.
No matter what happens...
you just can't end your
acquaintance like this.
I've been looking for you.
But I didn't know where you were.
Where's Radha?
Who is it, dad...?
Radha! My dear!
How are you?
It's ages since I saw you!
Please go away,
I say.
Do not be angry, Mr. Gopal.
We're in trouble, too.
Please help us.
We can't bear Rukmini
and Shyam's separation.
We have nothing to do
with anyone of you!
That's okay...
but will it be all right to see
two innocent lives being ruined?
Give it a thought, Radha.
What can we do anyway?
Rukmini's a victim of suspicion.
And you are the only one who
can rid her of the suspicion.
How can I do that?
- By getting married.
What?!
- You'll get married someday.
But if you get married now...
it'll save Shyam and Rukmini's
house from destruction.
Your marriage will act
as evidence...
to clear the misgivings
from Ruku's heart.
It will prove that you have
nothing to do with Shyam!
Do you take marriage to be
a game children play?
I can do anything to save
Shyam and Rukmini's marriage.
Give it a thought, Radha!
Marriage is no farce.
You can't get married
to idols of clay!
I'll find you a very
good boy, Gopal.
I'll bear the expenses
of the wedding, too.
Just you see... I'll find
a gem of a boy for Radha.
What will doubts get you, dad?
To see their happiness
restored to them...
I'd do anything.
To put their broken home together,
I'd marry anyone, dad.
You're risking your life without
even giving it a thought.
You don't need to make
such a big sacrifice!
This isn't a sacrifice, father.
It's worship.
Mr. Shyam?! In this state?
Yes, Vijay. Leading a laborer's
life has its own charm.
Remember the boat you
gave me, Mr. Shyam?
Thanks to that...
I own several of them today.
I know, the company I work
belongs to you, too.
But I won't let you live
like this anymore.
I have a home, sir...
a wife and a daughter.
Please come and live with us.
A daughter? Well...not today.
But I will certainly come
to see your daughter some day.
How did all this happen, sir?
I read about your family and
business in the newspapers...
People often come to a stage where
they have to choose their own paths.
I don't regret what
I have gone through.
I'm sad at what the poor
Radha must have gone through.
What state must she be in?
Well... bye.
Is Ruku all right?
What dream are you
talking of, Radha?
I don't even remember
what all that was.
Didn't they call you back
after I got married?
You got married and had a kid...
and you're dressed like a widow.
What's all this about, Radha?
Will you give me
your sorrows today?
What's been happening, Radha?
I want to know...
how and where you've been.
The whole story.
What will you gain by
listening to my woeful tale?
You will be hurt when
you hear it.
Do I have no right to know
what you have been through?
Tell me, Radha.
Praise the Lord!
Take off the turban, feller.
We'll get a nice photograph.
Have a sip and we'll make
a trip to the heavens!
Go on... Have some!
Drink it, I say...
- No!
This is what happened for
a few months.
My dad was terribly upset.
He bore it all silently.
My husband used to
leave for a day...
and wouldn't return
for days on end.
He came only when
he wanted the money.
Give it to me!
The father and daughter...
make a lot of money, eh?
How will we run the household
if you take away all the money?
Shut up, you old man!
Don't you realize? I need money
for my expenses, too.
But it's the beginning of the month
and we have to pay everyone.
The milkman, the grocer...
where will we buy food grains from?
Are we to starve?
Shut up, insolent man!
You dare talk to me!
Please! Don't do that!
I'm willing to bear any atrocity.
But give father his due respect.
You can have all the money...
but please don't say
anything to my father!
I was willing to
face anything...
He was my husband and I never
ever took a dig at him.
I never ever stopped him from
doing what he wanted to.
I'm carrying your baby...
- What?!
Who asked you to
bear a child?
It's difficult to maintain
you and your father...
and you're bringing
in the baby too!
A baby is a gift of God.
Shameless bitch!
ls it a gift from God...
or is it from your lover?
What did you say?
Where do you meet the bastard?
Tell me!
Where do you meet Shyam...
tell me!
Speak up!
For God's sake...
don't accuse me like this.
Don't drag Shyam into this...
This is your baby!
You're trying to shield
your lover, you bitch!
I'll kill you for this!
Son-in-law!
Please don't hit her!
Hit me instead!
My father couldn't
take all this.
He went looking
for my husband...
and decided the matter
once and for all.
Are you mad?
Gunwantlal is my husband!
We have three children!
Bloody cheat! Swine!
You have ruined
my daughter's life!
I'll have you sent to prison!
You have got to know more
than you should have, old man.
You shouldn't be allowed
to live anymore.
Are you very tired, dad?
Father...!
No, father!
"That which should not have
happened, has occurred"
"You are a widow now"
For my sake, for my happiness...
you went through all this.
What relations do
we share, Radha?
Not even Lord Krishna and Radha
could define the relationship.
All I know is that...
you are perhaps husband to Ruku.
But you're my God.
I have only worshipped you.
But this worship has
charred your life, Radha.
That's not true.
Even the burns you suffer in worship
are soothing.
Congratulations.
It's a baby-girl.
She's coming, sister.
Why are you crying, mummy?
What's the matter?
What happened?
Why's she crying, uncle?
It is just what we feared, dear.
Shyam has defamed our family.
He has really slapped us
in the face.
Has he married her then?
He hasn't just married her.
They even have a baby.
A baby-girl.
He played with the baby and said...
- he'd have his revenge from you!
God Almighty! I had to shut
my ears after that!
But we kept our eyes open...
because we've got to make you
see the truth.
Do you believe us now?
My life is an open
book, Your Honor.
I performed every duty, even in
the face of adversity and insults.
The truth lies before you.
Unexposed.
Truth has always triumphed
in this Temple of Justice.
And I see victory for
the truth from you today.
We have all the evidence of his
second marriage, Your Honor.
We wish to present it in court.
Certainly do so.
But only tomorrow.
Please grant bail for
my client, Mr. Shyam.
Bail is granted.
The court is adjourned
until tomorrow.
Have all the fun tonight,
young man.
Once the court has all the
evidence tomorrow...
you're going to spend all
your nights behind the bars.
I'm famous. For breaking
stones with glasses.
Who is it?
You?!
Please come in!
Sit down.
I'm here to meet Shyam.
Not to sit down.
Please call him.
- Of course.
Mr. Shyam... come on out!
Your happiness and
joys have returned!
Hurry LIP-
Give the baby to me.
She won't let you talk.
I've come to take you back.
- What will you take back now?
I don't want you to lead a life
with an untouchable like Radha.
Don't get me wrong, Shyam...
you mustn't stoop so much.
I'm willing to compromise for you.
Please come back to me.
A woman who is suspicious can
never belong to anyone, Ruku.
I'm willing to concede
every truth.
But I can't bear to see you
living in these conditions.
Why not? It was you who
had said...
that the day I turn an
ordinary fisherman again...
you will want that day.
And look! I am what
you wished I'd be.
You forget, Shyam.
I had also said...
that I would love you
all over again.
Return with me, Shyam.
That's good for you.
The life that you led.
The person that you were.
I am happy with what I am
and where I am, Ruku.
It's your injured pride
that is speaking, Shyam.
Was it your love that
spoke up in court?
All that can be changed in court,
provided you belong to me!
When did I not belong to you?
Ever since you got
married to Radha!
Marry Radha? I?!
What are you talking about?
Don't show me your anger
to hide the truth.
Leave Radha. And come with me.
I'll let you have everything.
Give me something, if you can.
What?
- A divorce. I want a divorce.
I know why you want a divorce!
But I will not give it to you.
Proof of your second marriage will
be presented in court tomorrow!
And you will land
behind bars!
What happened? Why did she
walk out in a huff?
She was here to take you back,
wasn't she?
She asked for a very big price
in exchange for my return.
You should've settled
for any price.
She's your wife, after all.
A wife is considered to be a
man's companion in virtue.
But what does man do if she
herself accuses him of sin?
Shy?
What does this photograph mean?
What kind of a deception is this?
What a lie?!
I'm not worried about
what happens to me, Radha.
But I must fight this
deception and fabrication!
So that this picture does not cast
a slur on you, in court tomorrow.
I'm not more important
than your lives, Shyam.
I'm willing to take any slur.
Now that a falsehood has
donned the guise of reality...
I will give it a status that
it be nothing but the truth.
I will marry you, Radha.
No! Don't say that!
If you do that, the Lord
will be called a cheat!
Never mind that.
Let anything happen.
No! I won't let you do that!
You will really sin
if you do that!
So be it. Before I am punished,
I will anoint your forehead.
I will give this
innocent child my name...
so you can defy society and
lead a respectable life.
My respect lies not
in marrying you.
It lies in uniting you with Rukmini
and in the happiness you find.
A woman keeps her husband.
She does not defeat him in courts.
I'll go and fetch the priest.
No, Shyam... listen to me!
Don't do that!
Mr. Shyam... hurry up!
Come with me.
It is this face that has
changed your destiny.
Come to your senses, Bingo!
Or else...
Keep out of this, madam.
And you will come to your senses
now, Sampat. Take a look at this.
What conspiracy is this?
It's your own doing!
I've turned the tables on you.
You sowed seeds of hatred in Rukmini's
heart, by showing her this picture.
You instigated her into going
to the courts for a divorce.
So Rukmini would inherit
all of Rai Bahadur's wealth...
after which, you would usurp
all the moolah.
But I won't let you swallow
the whole lot all by yourself!
I will show this picture
of yours to Rukmini.
And I will expose both of you!
Bastard! You dare
double-cross me!
I won't let you live anymore!
Don't play with guns, Sampat.
You'll burn your fingers.
But you still won't get
your hands on any evidence.
I've already handed over the negative
and a recording of our conversation...
to a friend.
He will take the evidence to
the police in half an hour.
This man has cheated us, Sampat!
Not true, madam. I've merely
struck a deal with you.
Well, all right.
Give me those negatives and the
tapes... I'll give you 50,000 Rupees.
Just 50,000 ?
- Okay... 100,000.
200,000.
300,000.
All right. Make it 400,000.
Half a million...
and not a penny more!
All right.
We knew you'd blackmail us.
So we've brought the money along.
Now give us those tapes
and the negatives...
and you can have the money.
Throw that gun away, Sampat.
I can't trust you.
You might shoot me...
after you've got the tapes
and the negatives.
All right.
My friend!
Double-cross!
Not at all. It's merely a ploy to
get even with bastards like you.
Every word you have uttered is
recorded in this cassette.
You are indeed a pair of
lowly bastards!
You have ruined three lives
for the money.
How could you forget?
I'm famous...
I break stones with glasses.
I remember now...
I slipper dogs like you!
Scoundrel!
No... out of my way, buddy.
Let him go!
Brother!
Bloody swine! Cur!
You break glasses
with stones, do you?
Arrest them, Inspector.
This picture is a fabrication!
It's a conspiracy, sister!
So you will give me my husband
in charity, will you?
No, sister...
Shyam has always belonged to you.
He always will.
So you want to talk me into
sharing Shyam with you?
I must play his wife. And you'll
be the mistress, isn't it?
No! Please! For Shyam's sake!
Don't think of such things!
Ask your uncle.
It was he who got me
married to Gunwantlal.
Insolent woman!
You're accusing my uncle now!
Why would my uncle want to have
anything to do with girls like you?
Now listen carefully...
I'm not going to spare you!
I'll have you dragged
in the court, too!
Your suspicion has landed
you in court.
But I beg of you! Do not bind your husband in chains.
Do not destroy your own life!
You have ruined my life.
You have destroyed my happiness!
And now, you're telling me
what to do!
I've always considered myself
inferior to you, sister.
What am I going
to tell you?
The only thing I regret is that
you have misunderstood my worship.
This house of yours, with Shyam
and you, is like a temple to me.
Why would any woman
defile her own temple?
Temple... worship... words not
meant for your filthy mouth.
Just remember...
if Shyam does not belong to me,
I'll see he does not belong to you!
Radha... what have you done?
And why?!
It's the right thing...
Am I not lucky?
I'm dying at your feet.
I have completed my worship.
No...
Smile... and see me off.
Laugh... and see me off.
Laugh, please laugh.
