00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:03,416
He's a Muslim? Then let's go away.

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:05,400
If we go now,
we don't stand a chance.

3
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:09,736
This is a great
and much-needed reform,

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:11,616
and I commend it to the House.

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,656
The Raja of Marh has mounted a challenge
to your Zamindari Act in the High Court.

6
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,536
You shouldn't get too deeply
involved with Saeeda Bai.

7
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,096
No good can come from it.

8
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:21,136
But I love her, Baoji.

9
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,856
This is your last night in my house!
Get out of here.

10
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:25,256
♪ Ul-husna... ♪

11
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,160
You must go with Rasheed
to his village.

12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,176
You've done nothing
to find a boy for Lata.

13
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:35,240
Fortunately for you,
you have a very clever wife.

14
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,816
I still don't understand
why you're rushing off

15
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,736
to Uncle Sahgal's in Lucknow
and leaving Lata behind with us.

16
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,456
It is Lata I am thinking of!

17
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,176
If you cannot help find her
a suitable boy

18
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,256
here in Calcutta,
I must look elsewhere!

19
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,016
I am going to stay with the Sahgals
and Kalpana will meet me there!

20
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,320
She will help me. Bye, beta.

21
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:09,480
I must leave you now, Lata.

22
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,280
Memsahib?

23
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,696
Hello.

24
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,176
I was wondering if you'd like to do
a bit of sightseeing.

25
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,776
I'd like to show you
something of poetic interest.

26
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280
Thank you.
Yes, that would be lovely.

27
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,616
Rose Aylmer
was only 20 years old?

28
00:03:03,640 --> 00:03:04,920
Just about your age.

29
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:07,080
That's so sad.

30
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,176
What did she die of?

31
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,000
A surfeit of pineapple.

32
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,296
I know, I know.

33
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,480
Not very poetic, but poor Landor.

34
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,616
This has turned into
a rather melancholy outing.

35
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:30,816
All my fault. I do apologise.

36
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,176
Let us quit this dismal scene,

37
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,656
and ride home in our limousine.

38
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:36,720
Of course.

39
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,856
And now your mother has
left for Lucknow.

40
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,720
Yes, mysteriously.

41
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,736
Calcutta, I regret to say,
was a complete waste of time.

42
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,336
But now there a number of good
prospects for my Lata in Lucknow.

43
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:53,896
I am determined.

44
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,080
I won't give up in until I have
found my Lata a suitable boy.

45
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,080
Do you know any?

46
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,200

Honestly, Ma, I didn't know
they were like that.

98
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,456
I thought they were a decent family and that
their son would be a fine match for Lata.

99
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:40,776
If my husband were alive,

100
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,336

00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,776
I'd never have put you through it
if I'd known they wanted a dowry.

104
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,760
Don't worry. I have some other
options to discuss with you.

105
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,320
I'm sorry, Ma.

106
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,216
You'd better show me
suitable candidates

00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,480

108
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,736
Rupa, where did you go in this heat?

00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,456
Don't ask. This is Kalpana.
She's like my daughter.

110
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,760
Pushkar. Greet Rupa Massi.
Pushkar.

111
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,680
He's still a child.

112
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,296
Welcome, Kalpana.

113
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,080
You both can talk in the office.

114
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,176
Six feet two? He'd tower over Lata.

115
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,680
No, no, impossible.
Next one, please.

116
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:42,696
Too dark, too dark.

117
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,216
It might just be
the light in the studio, Ma.

118
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:46,280
Next.

119
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:49,696
He's very personable.

120
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,296
He was leading man
in a play I was in at university.

121
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:54,576
Lady Windermere's Fan.

122
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,016
He's too rich, Kalpana!

123
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,336
This one won't want a dowry.

124
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,616
He's a good boy -
meet him face-to-face at least.

125
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:01,856
He won't make Lata happy.

126
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,816
She would always be
the poor relation.

127
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,696
If I liked him,
it would only upset me.

128
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:07,920
Who's next?

129
00:11:11,680 --> 00:11:14,600
I'm taking you to a book shop
where I spend half my life.

130
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,656
One feels so bewildered
among all these millions of books.

131
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:24,056
You mean I, not one.
Kemon achhen dada?

132
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,616
You're such a pedant!
No, it's important.

133
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,056
Just imagine if I were
to say to you,

134
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,416
"One loves you."

135
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,840
Or worse still, "One loves one."
Doesn't that sound idiotic?

136
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,240
Yes. That's all I meant.

137
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,976
I see.

138
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,536
Or rather, one sees.

139
00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:49,160
I see one does.

140
00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:01,936
Does a writer have to feel strongly
about what he writes?

141
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:03,336
Not necessarily.

142
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,176
Sometimes I write best about
the things I care about least.

143
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,616
And of course what is most
frustrating is failing to

144
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,160
write well about the things
or the people one cares most for.

145
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,776
I'll give you a book of my poems
sometime,

146
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:23,576
and you can form your own opinion
of how much or how little I feel.

147
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:25,176
I would love that.

148
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:26,576
But why not now?

149
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,760
I need time to think of
a suitable inscription.

150
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:37,880
Hmm?

151
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:42,360
Hm.

152
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,240
He's nice!

153
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,240
No-one else?

154
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:57,296
Well...

155
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,840
There is one more we could try.

156
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:05,760
A very nice boy.

157
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,816
Haresh was at school with me
in Delhi.

158
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,696
Acha? St Stephens.

159
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,536
Kalpana was debating champion!

160
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:37,656
And what did you do after that?

161
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:41,936
Well, after University in Delhi,
I went to England

162
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,896
to study shoe manufacture.

163
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,536
At present I'm working for the
Kanpur Leather and Footwear Company.

164
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:49,336
I've only been there a year,

165
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,696
but I have established a
whole new department

166
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,976
and got them orders they didn't have
the know-how to get for themselves.

167
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,640
Haresh, have you brought
your certificates with you?

168
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,880
How clever you are.

169
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,976
Northampton College of Technology.

170
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:15,336
First in his class and
a silver medal, that is very good.

171
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,736
You should be very proud.

172
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,856
Of course, my late husband was
first in his class at Roorkee,

173
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:25,296
and a gold medallist.
He was an engineer on the railway.

174
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,776
The railway! Mm-hm.

175
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,576
I wish I could have met him,
Mrs Mehra.

176
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:31,920
I wish so too.

177
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,896
He waters our fields.

178
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,256
That's his whole life,
serving my father,

179
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:01,960
farming land he will never own.

180
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:05,856
I hate to see the suffering here.

181
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,416
I keep trying to think
what I can do to change it.

182
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,936
Perhaps your father's land bill
will make a difference.

183
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,920
Perhaps.
But my father will not allow it.

184
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:17,056
Zamindars, they do nothing

185
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,096
but make their living
from other people's misery.

186
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:23,696
And they try to force their sons
into the same

187
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,296
ugly mould as themselves.

188
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,936
And if their sons want to do
anything else,

189
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,056
then they make life
miserable for them, too.

190
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:32,320
So much poverty.

191
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,736
Suffering.

192
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,896
Ignorance.

193
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,760
We have to do something
for my people here.

194
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,296
Rasheed?

195
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,216
Will you help me write a letter?

196
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,656
Arrey Maan Sahib!

197
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,496
There are many other sorrows
in this world besides love.

198
00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,560
Rasheed!

199
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,400
It will take years to teach you
this beautiful language.

200
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,600
That's very good. Put that in.

201
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,520
You don't share my feelings
for Saeeda. Do you?

202
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:00,776
Ah.

203
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:03,576
The sister, Tasneem.

204
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:05,616
Don't worry, your secret's
very safe with me.

205
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,656
There's nothing... She doesn't...

206
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,296
You mean you haven't told her yet?

207
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,056
It's out of the question.

208
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,536
She could never
think of me like that.

209
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:14,656
It's hopeless.

210
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:17,176
Hey! What are you doing,
that's my letter!

211
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,360
Firoz was going to
deliver it to Saeeda!

212
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,376
A very go-ahead young man, Kalpana.

213
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,120
And quite handsome,
though... he's rather short.

214
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,056
I was so taken with him.

215
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:35,176
He was very taken with you.

216
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,096
He said you were
strikingly good-looking.

217
00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,376
Oh, stop your nonsense.

218
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,536
But why was he not
at the top of your list?

219
00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,096
Well, he was in love with
a Sikh girl at one time.

220
00:17:47,120 --> 00:17:48,936
But I think that's over now -

221
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,616
her family wouldn't have
anything to do with it.

222
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,816
You know, I think he might be
just the boy for Lata.

223
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:57,816
Not like that
brother of Meenakshi's.

224
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,456
Amit Chatterjee? Mm.

225
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,096
He's a famous poet, Ma.

226
00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:05,816
Famous poet! All he does is sit in his
father's house and stare out the window!

227
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,896
A young man should do a job
and earn his living.

228
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:13,456
I should like you to set up
a meeting for Lata with Haresh.

229
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,920
God forbid that another one of my
children should marry a Chatterjee.

230
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:19,640
Ma!

231
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:32,640
Dada, ekta golab din.

232
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:44,000
Thank you.

233
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,496
Perfect.

234
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,656
Enter the heroine
with a flower in her hair.

235
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,896
Oh, I forgot it was still there.

236
00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:00,736
More to the point,
how did it get there?

237
00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,520
Oh, Amit bought it for me.

238
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:05,456
We had a lovely day.

239
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,520
Brazen girl!
What would your mother say?

240
00:19:59,360 --> 00:20:01,320
Kapoor Saab! Kapoor Saab!

241
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,816
You did a good thing there,
Kapoor Saab.

242
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:08,456
You showed that bloody
bastard what was what.

243
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:10,320
What? Who are you?

244
00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:14,000
I'm Waris. I'm
the Nawab Sahib's man here.

245
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,320
Ha-ha-ha, that munshi -
he was pissing his pants!

246
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,576
I was out of control.

247
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,976
I could have killed that man.

248
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,656
No-one would be sorry if you did.

249
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,896
You will be a hero here now.

250
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,040
In these parts,
everyone will follow you!

251
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,016
Have you brought a message
from your father? My father?

252
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:34,456
No, this is a letter from Maan -
Maan Kapoor.

253
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,800
Oh! Give it to me.

254
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,760
Have... Have we met before?

255
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,640
Tasneem!

256
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:02,640
Thank you for bringing the letter.

257
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,336
Now I wish to be alone.

258
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:08,256
I'm very sorry if I offended you.

259
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,000
Zia Sahib? Ji?

260
00:23:12,360 --> 00:23:14,136
You have not offended me.

261
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:15,440
Khuda hafiz.

262
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:18,960
Khuda hafiz.

263
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,456
And how is our boy Maan?

264
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,456
He's still in the countryside.

265
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,760
His obsession with that woman was
becoming altogether too much.

266
00:23:57,640 --> 00:23:59,816
I gather Firoz visits there too.

267
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:01,000
What?

268
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,840
I don't mean to suggest
he's as big a fool as my boy.

269
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,080
I don't want him
anywhere near that house.

270
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:42,920
Minister Sahib?

271
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,920
These are our private lands.

272
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:52,736
The law cannot loot them,

273
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,320
and political mosquitoes like you
cannot touch them!

274
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,016
We will see.

275
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,416
No doubt your lawyers will
defend your highness today

276
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,680
as ably as they have defended
your lowness in the past.

277
00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,616
Do something!

278
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:15,496
Patience. Patience, sir.
Father, I'm here.

279
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:21,360
Today, a judgment has been reached,
the act created by Mahesh Kapoor...

280
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:26,536
...which seeks to distribute wealth
away from the zamindars

281
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,576
of the state.

282
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:32,416
An appeal by the Raja of Marh
attests this act is

283
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,496
unconstitutional
and therefore null and void.

284
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,576
Null and void!

285
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:42,376
We adjudge that the Purva Pradesh
Zamindari Abolition and

286
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:48,816
Land Reforms Act does not contravene
any provision of the Constitution.

287
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,936
The appeal by the Raja of Marh
is dismissed.

288
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:54,000
What?

289
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:57,640
What happened?!

290
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:03,000
What did he say?!

291
00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:22,576
Lata, come to Lucknow urgently.

292
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:24,216
Needed here now.

293
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:25,280
Love, Ma.

294
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,936
Lata, say hello to Uncle Sahgal.

295
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:05,480
Shall I bring the photo album?

296
00:27:09,360 --> 00:27:10,536
You see my luck?

297
00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,120
With Maya as a wife,
I have to do nothing!

298
00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,656
I worship her as a goddess.

299
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,016
What a lovely young lady
you have grown into.

300
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:23,976
I remember the first time
you came to stay,

301
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,336
when you were just a tiny girl.

302
00:27:27,360 --> 00:27:29,720
And you and your cousin,
Kiran, played together.

303
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:32,736
Do you remember that, Lata?

304
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:33,976
Yes, of course.

305
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,656
Do you remember, Kiran?

306
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:36,696
Yes.

307
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,920
Thank you so much.

308
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:41,936
Come here, Lata. Come. Come.

309
00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:43,440
Let's see if we can find you.

310
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:48,880
Here you are with Kiran.

311
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,160
Not so long ago.

312
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,016
And look at you both now.

313
00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,520
Beautiful young ladies,
embarking on the journey of life!

314
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,216
Lata a first-class student,

315
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,840
and Kiran about to
get into university here in Lucknow.

316
00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:19,856
So, let us hear about this
shoemaker your mother tells us

317
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:21,080
you are going to meet.

318
00:28:24,280 --> 00:28:25,776
Ma!

319
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:29,216
I know all your prejudices,
and I share none of them.

320
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,856
You brought me here
under false pretences.

321
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,136
If you had told me
the real reason you wanted me,

322
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,576
I would never have come.

323
00:28:35,600 --> 00:28:38,536
You know, Lata, I have
nothing against Mohammadans as such.

324
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:40,816
It's only your future
I'm concerned about.

325
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,776
And this is why you summoned me
from Calcutta?

326
00:28:42,800 --> 00:28:45,656
It's very expensive to send
details in a telegram!

327
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,376
And this boy is from our community.

328
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:54,000
Anyway, he's such a nice boy.
You'll see.

329
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:34,120
Aadaab. Aadaab.

330
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:37,480
I'm very happy to see you.

331
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:40,456
Your sister is well?

332
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:42,280
Thank you, yes.

333
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:47,280
And you are well? Yes, I'm well.

334
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:50,360
Your parakeet - he is well?

335
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:53,120
Him too.

336
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:55,440
He is my darling.

337
00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:58,536
He is well.

338
00:29:58,560 --> 00:29:59,856
Good.

339
00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:04,880
And you, Sahib, you are well?

340
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,040
I am very well.

341
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:25,040
Tasneem.

342
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:44,200
Good... stuff.

343
00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,160
Dagh Sahib.

344
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:19,576
Kapoor Sahib! Kapoor Sahib!
Your fame has spread far and wide!

345
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:23,256
The whole district is talking about
how you almost half killed that bastard!

346
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,000
And you know what they are saying?

347
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,416
Good job I didn't,

348
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,296
or it would have been
the finish of me.

349
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:37,040
"I, The Jury." And Maan Sahib
is judge and jury!

350
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:39,920
I'm neither of those things.

351
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:02,600
You look very nice, Sahib.

352
00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:06,296
I don't need your opinion.

353
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:07,640
But thank you.

354
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:16,920
Have we met, Miss Mehra?

355
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,656
I'm sure I must have seen
you before.

356
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,160
I don't think we have.

357
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:26,256
It's strange.

358
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:27,680
Perhaps I met you in a dream.

359
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,136
Did you have a comfortable journey?

360
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:37,856
Yes, thank you.
I had a comfortable journey.

361
00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,520
Where were you travelling from?

362
00:33:41,320 --> 00:33:42,856
Calcutta.

363
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,296
Then you must be really tired.

364
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:46,480
No, I'm quite rested.

365
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:58,056
Even though Kalpana is leaving,

366
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,376
could I invite you both
to my boarding house for lunch?

367
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,800
Ah, no, we...
Yes! We'd be very happy to accept.

368
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:24,920
Thank you, Haresh.

369
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,800
Tell me, why did you run
away from home at 15?

370
00:34:39,280 --> 00:34:41,520
Did Kalpana tell you that?
She did.

371
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,496
I believe a time may come when a man
may have to part company,

372
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,240
even with those he loves
and who love him.

373
00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,736
In this case, a marriage
was being forced upon me

374
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:57,456
by my foster-father,
and I couldn't accept it.

375
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:58,800
I ran away.

376
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:02,336
I got a job cleaning
a Praha shoe shop -

377
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:07,816
my first experience in the shoe
business, and not a pleasant one.

378
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:14,216
I starved and I froze,
but I was determined not to go back.

379
00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:17,176
Didn't you even write a letter home?

380
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:18,240
No.

381
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:20,800
I was very stubborn.

382
00:35:23,040 --> 00:35:24,280
This is where I sleep.

383
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:28,296
Let me ask you a question, Haresh.

384
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,200
Is there someone in your life still?

385
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:36,616
Mrs Mehra, I have told Kalpana,
and I'm sure she's told you,

386
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,616
that Simran was very dear to me.

387
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:41,936
But now that door is closed to me.

388
00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:46,080
For her family, the fact that
I'm not a Sikh is all that matters.

389
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,936
So now I'm
looking for someone with whom

390
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:52,000
I can live a happy married life.

391
00:35:58,160 --> 00:35:59,720
I see you like Hardy.

392
00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:02,680
I do.

393
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:09,496
But I don't agree with him
that we are controlled by fate.

394
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,400
I think we can make
our own happiness.

395
00:36:15,440 --> 00:36:18,976
Would you like to come
and see where I work?

396
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,176
I would like to see the factory.

397
00:36:21,200 --> 00:36:22,600
But could I first...?

398
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,120
You have so many shoes!

399
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:53,720
Well, I am in the trade.

400
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:00,720
Are you making fun of me?

401
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,880
Yes, perhaps I am.

402
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,360
You've earned such respect here.

403
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,336
You have a lot of your father's
qualities, I think.

404
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,640
Me?
He would laugh to hear you say that.

405
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,840
You should take yourself
more seriously, my friend.

406
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:51,416
Will you come with me?

407
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:53,560
If you think I could make
a difference. You can.

408
00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,760
Maan Saab! Maan Saab!

409
00:38:07,720 --> 00:38:09,920
She's sent for me! Parhiye.

410
00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:13,000
Dagh Sahib...

411
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:29,656
No-one listens to me here.

412
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:34,136
I have learnt to be alone
and to understand things.

413
00:38:34,160 --> 00:38:37,736
And even to be alone
and to be misunderstood.

414
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:40,056
But with you by my side,
we can bring your father's dream

415
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:42,320
to life, give Kacheru
the land he deserves.

416
00:38:44,680 --> 00:38:46,080
Saeeda Begum is my life.

417
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:49,520
And she has called for me.

418
00:39:20,800 --> 00:39:24,440
This is the upper. This is
what we are working towards.

419
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:34,440
This is the setting and
the drying process.

420
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:39,320
The stench!

421
00:39:42,640 --> 00:39:45,320
Mrs Mehra, this is
the tanning process.

422
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:51,296
Please be careful.

423
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:56,520
Next comes fat liquoring, samming,
dyeing, setting, drying.

424
00:39:57,600 --> 00:39:58,760
Fascinating!

425
00:40:05,880 --> 00:40:07,760
This is how they weigh
the lime hides.

426
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:39,416
Mrs Mehra, we have...

427
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:43,256
Haresh, Haresh, I think we should
go now.

428
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,456
Ma is not feeling well.

429
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:47,136
Nonsense!

430
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:48,520
And I too...

431
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:53,176
Oh, the smell.

432
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,376
Of course.

433
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:57,536
You should have said before.
I will take you back at once.

434
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:58,760
Thank you, Haresh.

435
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:10,376
And, er...

436
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,856
You don't work in the tannery,
do you?

437
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:14,360
You are in the office?

438
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,920
No, I'm only in the tannery
about once a week.

439
00:41:21,040 --> 00:41:22,080
Once a week?

440
00:41:23,840 --> 00:41:27,496
Miss Mehra...
No, no, no, call her Lata.

441
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:31,176
When I returned from England,
I realised the British left us

442
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:34,016
free, but barefoot.

443
00:41:34,040 --> 00:41:35,440
India needed shoes.

444
00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:38,616
I am proud of the shoes I make.

445
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:43,136
I don't like sitting in the office
giving orders and expecting miracles.

446
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,616
I believe,
if you have to do something,

447
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:47,800
you should do it
without making a fuss.

448
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:52,000
I'm sorry, that's the way I am.

449
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:33,656
I thought I would say goodnight
to my darling daughter

450
00:43:33,680 --> 00:43:35,160
before she fell off to sleep.

451
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:41,200
Well?

452
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:44,680
Mm?

453
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:47,336
Yes, Ma?

454
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,296
Do you think he's suitable?

455
00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:51,776
Ma, I only met him for a few hours.

456
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:53,200
What do I really know of him?

457
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,040
You're a very fussy
and ungrateful girl.

458
00:44:39,320 --> 00:44:41,080
Mausa ji?

459
00:44:43,520 --> 00:44:46,576
Are you all right? Are you ill?

460
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,416
No, not ill, exactly.

461
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:50,920
But I have been working late.

462
00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:54,960
I have a great many
things on my mind.

463
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,296
I hope everything is all right.

464
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:01,336
Do you have what you need?

465
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:02,760
Yes, yes. Thank you.

466
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,720
I should have brought
you some grapes.

467
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:10,200
When you were a little girl...

468
00:45:12,600 --> 00:45:14,080
...you were very fond of grapes.

469
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:19,336
Are you...

470
00:45:19,360 --> 00:45:21,000
Are you a good girl, Lata?

471
00:45:23,240 --> 00:45:24,576
Yes?

472
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,680
Do you think? No!

473
00:45:30,240 --> 00:45:32,320
I think you are a lipstick girl.

474
00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:36,696
Are you a lipstick girl, Lata?

475
00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:39,360
I don't know what you mean.
Yes, you do.

476
00:45:42,240 --> 00:45:43,280
I think...

477
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:46,120
...you are a lipstick girl.

478
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:49,536
Do you want some lipstick, Lata?

479
00:45:49,560 --> 00:45:50,800
Please stop this!

480
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:53,440
It's so hot in here.

481
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,576
Go away! I'll scream!

482
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:58,256
No need for that. I will!

483
00:45:58,280 --> 00:45:59,616
Sh!

484
00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,200
I thought you were
an intelligent girl.

485
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:06,360
If you had a father,
you would not behave in this way.

486
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:09,160
I am very disappointed in you.

487
00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,576
Tell us about
the Pul Mela, Bhaskar.

488
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:26,856
Why do all these people come
to Brahmpur?

489
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:30,896
The River Ganga came out of Jahnu's
ear and fell to the ground.

490
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,696
That day was
known as Ganga Dussehra,

491
00:47:33,720 --> 00:47:35,600
and that is why we celebrate her.

492
00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:38,760
Well done, Bhaskar.

493
00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,176
You may as well ask blessings
from a stone.

494
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:09,816
You're sounding like your father.

495
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:12,376
Or a potato. Pran!

496
00:48:12,400 --> 00:48:13,936
Come on.

497
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,760
You shouldn't be so proud, Pran.

498
00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:34,896
Lata, why aren't you eating your
toast? It'll get cold.

499
00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:36,736
Something's the matter, I can tell.

500
00:48:36,760 --> 00:48:38,176
What is it?

501
00:48:38,200 --> 00:48:39,576
Nothing, Ma.

502
00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:41,560
I just didn't sleep last night.

503
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,896
Sahgal Sahib also didn't
sleep last night.

504
00:48:44,920 --> 00:48:47,376
He's tired from working so hard.

505
00:48:47,400 --> 00:48:49,800
Paratha?

506
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:02,816
I was thinking...

507
00:49:02,840 --> 00:49:04,256
...wouldn't it be a good idea

508
00:49:04,280 --> 00:49:06,776
if Kiran came to Brahmpur University
next year?

509
00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:09,320
She could live with us.

510
00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:13,496
No, no! Not possible.

511
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:16,256
Her father would miss her too much!

512
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:17,696
Good morning, everyone. Aaye!

513
00:49:17,720 --> 00:49:20,376
Good morning, Sahgal Saab.

514
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,856
So how is the family today?

515
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,216
Barriya. Good. Good. Good. Good...

516
00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:26,480
Achar?

517
00:49:33,480 --> 00:49:36,720
See what I have got for Lata.

518
00:49:41,400 --> 00:49:43,936
You will have to wait, Kiran.

519
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:45,416
No!

520
00:49:45,440 --> 00:49:46,840
Lata!

521
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:53,176
I don't want it.

522
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,456
She is such a clever girl,
I thought.

523
00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:57,640
You open it.

524
00:49:59,040 --> 00:50:01,400
I thought I would give her a puzzle.

525
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:21,056
Sahgal-ji, you've done so much
for us.

526
00:50:21,080 --> 00:50:25,016
When the time comes,
Kiran can live with us in Brahmpur.

527
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:27,416
Good. Good. Good. Good.

528
00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:29,256
Let us do this for you.

529
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,440
Good. Good. Good. Good.

530
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:37,456
Now we are in plenty of time.

531
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:40,296
Here in the waiting room,
you can be comfortable.

532
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,520
Thank you, Haresh,
you're a very good escort.

533
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:02,056
I think you are not well today.

534
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:05,856
I hope the tannery
didn't upset you yesterday.

535
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,720
No...

536
00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:15,200
I just didn't sleep well last night.

537
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:22,016
Let me get some cold chocolate
for you.

538
00:51:22,040 --> 00:51:24,200
It's very refreshing.

539
00:51:59,320 --> 00:52:02,560
I know that not everything
went well yesterday.

540
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,376
But I want you to know...

541
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:08,000
...I like you very much.

542
00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:13,360
My interest is sincere and serious.

543
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,200
May I write to Lata, Mrs Mehra?

544
00:52:27,040 --> 00:52:29,416
Yes, you may, of course, Haresh.

545
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:32,680
And you should call me Ma,
everyone else does. Are you sure?

546
00:52:34,440 --> 00:52:36,120
Thank you.

547
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:41,240
Chaliye.

548
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,000
Stay there a moment.
I will check the platform.

549
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,416
Well...

550
00:52:56,440 --> 00:52:58,856
Au revoir, Lata.

551
00:52:58,880 --> 00:53:01,176
Are we French now? No.

552
00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:04,280
But it sounds more hopeful
than goodbye.

553
00:53:05,960 --> 00:53:07,600
Au revoir, Haresh.

554
00:54:18,680 --> 00:54:20,080
Baba-ji?

555
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:27,040
Salaam, Baba-ji.

556
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:34,520
Dhanewaad. Dhanewaad.

557
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:37,360
Dhanewaad.

558
00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,096
Wah, phool!

559
00:54:40,120 --> 00:54:41,160
Dhanewaad.

560
00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:13,640
HE CHANTS: Ram, Ram, Ram, Ram, Ram,
Ram, Ram, Ram...

561
00:55:21,160 --> 00:55:22,416
Aaiye.

562
00:55:22,440 --> 00:55:24,800
Ma, chaliye.

563
00:55:55,720 --> 00:55:58,640
Dhanewaad... Dhanewaad...

564
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:24,360
Ma!

565
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:30,960
I'm all right. I'm all right.

566
00:56:35,800 --> 00:56:38,936
Bhaskar! Bhaskar! Bhaskar!

567
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:40,440
Bhaskar!

568
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,040
Bhaskar!

569
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:53,560
Bhaskar!

570
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:02,176
SCREAMING: Bhaskar!

571
00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:03,776
Because of the Pul Mela disaster.

572
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,016
I do not need to be told
what my job is!

573
00:57:06,040 --> 00:57:07,296
Firoz...

574
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,896
So, is it all over between
you and Kabir?

575
00:57:09,920 --> 00:57:11,736
A shoe maker.

576
00:57:11,760 --> 00:57:14,496
I refuse to work at this
benighted place!

577
00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:18,640
If music be the food of love...
Play on!
