Amar (1954)

[bunniefuu]

Even if someone wants

you to suffer...

it's God who will make

happen, what He wants.

This is the temple of justice

The house of God

This is the temple of justice

and the house of God

Express your wishes,

don't be afraid

You're a sinner.

That's why you don't approach Him

Good morning.

Get up, Your Highness!

You've been sitting like

this for twenty-one days.

Welcome, Prince.

You are so good looking.

As if God has created you

with His own hands.

Fool! What a beautiful

life you had.

Now you've come here.

Have you brought

a message for me?

I don't follow a word

of what you are saying.

As if you've followed!

Maybe you have.

You are right, Sir.

Move! Are you going to

drink up all the milk?

See mother, he'll get me

beaten up today, too.

See, now he's sulking.

What was it I said?

I know she's your mother.

But what can I do?

Milk brings us money.

Do you have any?

I swear that I don't.

Do you know I committed

a sin yesterday because of you?

I mixed two full tumblers

of water in the milk.

Don't tell anyone.

Even then mother couldn't

earn two rupees and fifteen annas...

and, as usual, I was beaten.

You won't understand my problems.

You don't have a stepmother.

Sonia, can't you hear?

I'll beat you black and blue.

Look father, she's beating me

even in her sleep.

Yes, that is why

she's called a stepmother.

Try as much as you can,

she won't get up.

Then see a new trick today, father.

First go and finish

your kitchen chores.

Don't you see all the pots

filled up?

What are you doing?

She'll k*ll you.

She'll put her stamp

on this colorful cover.

You'll get us k*lled today.

Help! Help!

The skies are cloudy,

my heart full of joy

The peacock is dancing and singing

The spring has come

A couple of birds are above,

in the sky

The butterfly is playing with the flowers

They have brought

a message of love for me

Let me go.

You won't dance at

the fair this time.

- I will. Who are you to stop me?

- I'll cut you into pieces.

Like hell! Go stop your

mother and sister.

- They are both dead.

- Why didn't you die too?

Then you'll remain unmarried.

Have you seen your

face in the water?

What are you doing in the jungle

so early in the morning, Amarnath?

- Looking for a legal remedy?

- Ask me.

I'm a more experienced

lawyer than you.

So what if I haven't passed law?

I have more experience.

What happened to the finger?

- I'm thinking of getting married.

- By all means...

right now.

You are at a dangerous age.

You'll escape all legal problems.

- Thank you.

- For my legal advise...

send six rupees, six annas

and six paise to my house.

The advocate is here.

What happened to your finger?

- I got a little hurt.

- Hurt?

Mr. Zulfikar has signed and sent

over his power of attorney.

Ramu's case is coming up for

hearing at eleven today.

And Mr. Beharilal wants to discuss

some point on his criminal case.

Tell him he can't buy

justice with his wealth.

If he agrees with my advice,

tell him to see me tomorrow.

I want to see Mr. Sampat's report

on Mr. Zulfikar's case.

Tell Durga's widow

I'll fight her case.

- She need not worry about my fees.

- I'll take care of it.

We have to file the O.S. 153

EPl today in the office.

I think you should get

a penicillin shot.

We have to file that

EPl today for sure.

Consider it done.

You've won the case, Mr. Sharma.

So why have you come?

We have brought some sweets

because of that.

What happened to your finger?

A crow has taken it away.

Have the sweets distributed

among the kids in the area.

- Yes Sir.

- And listen...

go to the court at eleven and

get a date for Mr. Verma's case.

It's a small matter.

The judge should not mind.

These small injuries become

infected and serious.

You've made a big

mistake in your life.

- What?

- You should have been a pharmacist.

Yes. Everyone makes mistakes.

But do get a penicillin injection.

O.S. 153 EPl must be filed today.

You will remember?

- Greetings.

- Greetings.

What have you decided?

I cannot admit my guilt.

If I'm convicted, my family's

reputation will be ruined.

Your family's reputation was ruined

the day you committed the crime.

But I can be saved. There is no

witness or evidence to my crime.

A crime leaves clues

all the time.

Listen to my advice. There is

only one way out for you.

Accept your crime and

suffer the consequences.

See what he decides.

- Good day, sir.

- What can I do for you, sir?

I came to ask...

What happened to your finger?

A dog bit my finger.

It must have been that

milkmaid Sonia's dog.

Take good care. He's poisonous.

- You are no less.

- No I'm not, but I've lost in love.

The villagers have erected the

tent for the fair on my land.

When I went to remove the tent,

a few heads got smashed.

- It's become a police case.

- It's good.

After you've eaten prison

food for a few days...

perhaps you'll come to your senses.

- What had to happen...

- You've become too hot headed.

Just because you have some money,

doesn't mean that you...

can deny the villagers

their simple pleasures.

Go. I can do nothing for you.

Save me just this once.

In the future, I'll be more careful

when dealing in matters of the heart.

- Who is it?

- It's me, Sir.

You follow me as if

you were my wife.

You've taken the words

out of my mouth.

There's a letter from your

father, along with a photo.

- Whose photo?

- His would-be daughter-in-law!

What will my father's

daughter-in-law be to me?

- Your wife-to-be.

- Wife?

Then what are you staring at!

Go away.

Stop this dancing. You've been at

it for an hour and a half.

Can't you see the girl

is almost fainting?

Come and have some breakfast.

I feel frustrated

because of such talk.

You want one to wear shoes,

but not walk on the ground.

This is not some pudding which

you can eat at leisure.

You have to sweat for this.

This is art.

Don't argue so early in the morning.

Else I'll break your head

with your own art.

You won't see me set foot

in this house again.

Don't carry the musical

instrument in your anger.

Father, you're insulting the teacher.

If you're so disturbed,

then why have me learn dancing?

I don't want to, but those

big shots who come for your...

marriage want to know.

"Is the girl a post graduate?

Does she have thirty-two teeth?'

'Hope the girl's not dark."

Idiot! Can't you see the milk

has turned cold.

You want to k*ll my child

with cold milk?

No fool wants to know if

you know sewing...

or cooking or looking

after the house.

The great musicians want to

know if you can dance...

sing or shake about!

I'm not a musician's son. My father

used to make patties in Hapur.

You've come again?

Just yesterday you attacked this.

Yesterday was Monday.

I was invited by Mr. Amar.

On Sunday I was invited by Sonia.

Then on Saturday at the temple.

On Friday at the orphanage.

Thursday at the Charitable hospital.

Today it's your turn.

My month's schedule is set.

- See for yourself.

- Why don't you marry?

Like a washerman's dog, you

have no place neither at the...

washerman's home, nor anywhere

else. You scrounge all over!

A soothsayer said

I'll have seventeen children...

- which would finish me.

- Did your father have a single child?

He had one.

Where have all these people come from?

- Get rid of them or I will faint.

- I have brought them with me, Sir.

Who called you? What are you

looking at? Throw them all out.

- Just listen to me.

- What's going on father?

- Ask me, Miss Anju.

- Let him go.

You give justice. Like every year

there was to be a fair at the temple.

The villagers had collected two piase

from everyone and erected a tent.

But Sankat and his men

tore up the tent.

- He says there will be no fair.

- Who is he to stop the fair?

The fair will surely take place.

Come and have your milk.

It's getting cold.

- Throw them all out!

- Why are you turning them out?

Come and join me for breakfast,

all of you. Please come with me.

Get sweets and fruit for everyone.

Please sit down.

From today, the doors of this

house are closed to you forever.

Eat what you want for the

last time. Go!

Where are you going?

The carrot pudding is ready.

Please taste it. You must.

Thank you.

Do you know how will you

repent one day?

When these same bulls

will attack you!

You will regret it one day.

Distribute it to all. Come on, eat.

Sit and drink.

Brothers and sisters, don't be shy.

Eat, drink and be merry.

Forget Sankat and his problem.

Celebrate your fair, right here.

You can't have a bigger one than this.

Three cheers for Anju Devi.

You claim to be a big lawyer.

Why didn't you get Sankat arrested?

If he is produced in court,

I swear I'll finish him.

The problem is he talks only

with his knife, not his tongue.

All of you sit,

and you come with me.

- Do you know where Sankat lives?

- Yes I do.

- Sankat's house? No I don't.

- You are scared again!

What? Me being scared?

There's nothing to be afraid of.

But it will be better to

get police protection.

Why do I need the police,

when you are with me?

Turn the car around,

the lion is sitting.

- Where?

- There, in front.

- Go and call him.

- Me? Blow the horn.

Again you're scared?

Go.

Brother Sankat, I'm in a fix.

What are you doing?

I'll forget the dialog.

The landlord's daughter

is very innocent.

She's just out of college

and doesn't know you.

The villagers went to the

landlord complaining about you.

I reasoned that whatever brother

Sankat is doing is correct.

But she's stubborn and came here.

You deal with her.

I had nothing to do with this.

I'm going.

Let's go to the police station.

He's in a nasty mood.

The villagers say

you had the tent removed.

They are right.

Where will the poor things

have their fair?

There won't be a fair.

Why not?

Is it your decision to make?

- The land is mine.

- But you're defying the law.

I, too, have a big lawyer,

Mr. Amarnath.

Why escalate the matter,

brother Sankat?

I have no sister.

I am an only child.

Try and stop me then.

Are you the lawyer,

Mr. Amarnath?

Why do you doubt it?

Because you seem to be

a good person by face.

I'm not a bad person

by nature either.

Then why are you defending

a bad person like Sankat?

Do you have an objection?

It would be against

justice and fair play.

What if I agree with you?

- Then you'll be doing me a favor.

- What if I don't agree?

Then you'll have

to face humiliation.

People will know that

you can be bought.

I have been given a big account.

Now I'll refuse to deal

even for a treasure.

Your elders provided you

education for this?

Strange. I'm abiding

by their wishes.

I thought you'd have some

sense of truth and self respect.

But now I know that all the

injustice in this world is...

because of people like you.

Theft, dacoity and crimes

are because of you people.

Yes, I'm to blame for all

the ills of the world.

I'm glad you are truthful.

The truth is, I have

never seen such lovely anger.

The features are quite good.

And the poetry of India

is contained within your hair.

What are you saying?

I was saying, drop Sankat's case,

I'll give up my practice.

Take me to Benaras with you.

I'll bathe in the Ganges and

think about you all the time.

Don't you know how to behave,

or are you misbehaving on purpose?

I'm seeing myself in your eyes.

- You are impossible!

- I cannot help my heart's desire.

- Crush such desires.

- My heart lies under your feet.

Do as you wish.

How can I handle this?

How is your finger, Sir?

Get a knife. I'll cut it off

and throw it away.

And tell the accountant that

you've got a raise of ten rupees.

Run away from here.

Cleaning the house isn't enough.

The entire village needs cleaning.

- All are dirty here, small and big.

- You're talking about the village.

I say the entire country

needs to be cleaned.

Many big people came here to clean up

but got cleaned up themselves.

Yet they left their

footsteps behind.

But who walks on them?

Every newcomer wishes

to leave his imprint.

Those who can't make them on

the ground, do so on another's face...

to satisfy their urge.

What a statement! Do come in.

- Go away!

- Do come in.

Go away!

You two decide first if

I should leave or enter.

I have a summons for you.

Do you wish to decide here...

or in court?

Why go to the court?

I'll decide right here.

Get him out of here, or I'll call

the guard and have him thrown out.

I'm not your father here.

Don't forget that you stand

here as a defendant.

Let the trial begin.

I don't think you'll be

able to defend yourself.

And I think that one hand was

not enough to remove your illusion.

You need another.

This isn't a zoo; it's a courtroom.

You two should address me.

Where is your lawyer, Anju Devi?

Who has called me? I'm here.

What is the case?

Tell me and I will ensure

that the enemy is finished.

Stop your blabbering!

- Then you begin, Mr. Amar.

- What are you saying!

Sir, I'm lawyer Amarnath. I was

sitting in my house today and...

working on an important case.

- Suddenly Miss...

- Anju Devi.

Miss Anju Devi descended on

me like lightning and left...

me shaken mentally and emotionally.

Do you have anything to

state in your defense?

Whatever I had to state,

I stated in his house.

And if you weren't here, I would've

left a mark on his other cheek too.

By taking the law into

your own hands...

you have committed

a grave offense.

What right did you have?

That right is available only

to a London returned wife.

Please remove

yourself from here.

You are a rat who is afraid

of his own tail. Father...

Your Lordship...

Your Lordship, you know

that this Mr., Mr., Mr...

Amarnath.

Mr Amarnath is fighting a false case

against the whole village, for Sankat.

I went to him with a request

to drop the case...

or he would be humiliated.

He rolled his eyes and said

that his heart was with me...

- and not to break it.

- He said that?

Yes, and he said...

to take the sea from

him is not easy.

Let alone one case, I'll forgive

a thousand murders for that couplet.

Please recite the full couplet.

What kind of a case is this

that I remember the bargain?

Is this a court case

or a poetry session?

You've lost the case. Tell your

client the court's verdict.

- Congratulations.

- I don't want to see your face!

What are you doing? Let's go.

How did you become the

owner of the land?

I acquired it legally.

I pay a hundred rupees per year.

Here are the receipts.

Was there a fair last year or not?

- It was held with my consent.

- What is the problem this year?

I've lost a full fifty rupees.

They dug up my entire land.

- There was no grass this year.

- So, do you want fifty rupees?

A man lives on money,

the animals on grass.

I don't wish to bear the sin of

the animals starving to death.

Very noble thoughts indeed.

Did the villagers come

to ask for donations?

- They did.

- How much did you donate?

- Whatever I could afford.

- How much was that?

- Whatever I donated.

- You have to give a clear answer.

Five and a quarter annas, Sir.

Do you know that the tent you

tore up was erected with...

the same donation?

I didn't have it torn up.

Isn't it true that last year you were

given the contract for the tent?

Yes. I'm a victim of

the villagers' love.

For the same love you've taken

hundred and twenty five rupees...

for which you haven't

given any account.

That is my weakness, that I don't

keep any account of my love.

I told you there is no ground

for your case. Please go home.

What kind of a lawyer are you?

I wish to present my own case.

The court permits you.

But it would be wise to...

engage a lawyer.

- May I be of some service?

- No!

Who are you refusing?

Don't you know your father...

has agreed to your

marriage with him?

Please ask me whatever you want.

I would like to

see the land deed.

Certainly, there is no secret.

I want to see the deed.

These are receipts.

- The land deed?

- The land deed.

I hope my goat hasn't eaten it.

I hope you haven't put it in

a pocket and forgotten.

Don't you believe me?

Search your pockets.

You may find it there.

This useless paper has been

lying in my pocket for a long time.

Is this it?

The first clause refers

to the land for the fair.

This clause by itself

decides the case.

It's clear that the land

is reserved for the fair.

Just as a hockey field is

meant for that and cannot be...

stopped because of the grass...

so the fair can't be

stopped because of the grass.

By stopping the fair,

Sankat has broken the law.

Therefore he's responsible

for all the losses.

Is this the land deed?

Yes sir.

The court directs Sankat to pay

the village hundred and twenty...

five rupees as damages and

desist from stopping the fair.

I'm finished.

This is my bill.

Try and clear it early.

Aunt! The fair will be held.

The fair will be held!

Kallu's mother, the

fair will be held.

Birju, you'll sell a lot of sweets,

but use lots of sugar.

The fair will be held.

The fair will be held.

- The fair will be held.

- Go on, you liar. Swear by me.

I swear by you, your father,

your grandfather, your whole family.

Sankat has lost!

Why are you garlanding me?

The case was won by Mr. Amar.

Let's go and garland Mr. Amar.

But who's going to bell the cat?

Not I.

You're scared. Give, I'll put it.

He's not a lion who'll eat us up.

The one who hesitates to go,

may her husband be dark.

Let's go then.

You aren't satisfied

wounding me?

Now you want to get me hanged

by falling under my car?

The groom will be dark.

So what can I do, if he's dark.

Do I have to marry you?

Not mine, their's. They ran away.

You're very brave to stay back.

What's in your hand?

A bell.

Are you mad?

The next time you cross my path,

I'll grab your neck and...

Go away, you filthy thing!

How can I show my feelings

to my beloved?

I have a very slim waist.

How can I carry this heavy pot?

There are ravagers of beauty

along the way

Here there are many scoundrels

Who knows what someone

might do to me?

How can I go near them?

I have put henna on my palms

and oiled my hair

I have come like a bride...

and I will meet my lover today

I bathed myself

and washed my clothes

Do you smell anything bad?

I feel like kissing you

I have a very slim waist.

How can I carry this heavy pot?

How can I show my feelings

to my beloved?

I've bathed and washed my clothes.

Smell and tell me if

I still stink.

I don't, right?

I feel like kissing you.

You are so pretty.

Have you seen your face

in the mirror?

See it today.

I tell you, you'll fall in

love with your own face.

You wretch! You started looking

into the mirror!

Where are you going

all dressed up?

You've stolen my mirror.

Who's face are you seeing?

Sit down, in the name of your parents...

your brother, and I who

brought you up, in my name.

You don't love any of them?

Then sit down in your wife's name.

You henpecked fellow!

Remember what I told you?

I'll cut you into pieces

if you dance at the fair.

- My reputation is at stake.

- I will dance...

I will dance so much that

even you will dance.

Listen to me, my beloved

Don't worry if your heart is innocent

I'm unable to say what I wish

I am shy.

How can I say it?

Everything is in my eyes.

You only have to look into them

Don't worry if your heart is innocent

Listen to me, my beloved

My eyes are waiting for you

You can have the smile upon my lips

Don't go empty-handed from this fair

Don't worry if your heart is innocent

Listen to me, my beloved

Telegram.

Who's there?

Why have you come here?

Go away from here.

Get ready so we can leave soon.

I'm sure your father will

recover after seeing you.

When a capable son like

you is near him...

it will give him a new life.

Where did you go?

Where did you go?

Speak! Where did you go?

You rascal, cut me into pieces.

Why do you hesitate?

I'm not afraid to die.

If you dare to eye me,

I'll claw your eyes out.

If you get in my way, I'll drive

this knife through your heart.

I hate you!

I hate the whole world!

I waited all night for you,

fighting death.

But you didn't come.

Why did you take so long?

What kept you away?

The light in my eyes is fading.

But your last letter is before me.

I'm very happy that you and Anju...

I am happy that you are willing

to marry Anju.

This ring is a reminder of your mother.

Put it on Anju's finger as soon as

possible and fulfill her desire.

I don't deserve Anju, father.

She is innocent.

How can I deceive the one I love?

But if I have to live,

I can't do so without Anju.

I can't destroy my life

with my own hands.

It would be a lie, a deception!

I cannot give this ring to Anju.

I must confess all to Anju.

This is the right time.

If this moment passes, I'll never

be able to tell Anju anything.

Never again!

Then I'll regret it all my life.

But how can I live without her?

She is the ray of light in

my dark life.

But should I lose her forever,

by confessing everything?

Life without Anju is impossible for me.

Why are you withdrawing from me?

Won't you allow me to share

your sorrow?

Let me pay for my sins alone.

But both our lives are one.

Why are you torturing yourself?

Why are you embracing this sorrow?

Why don't you try and forget it?

One can never forget one's sin.

The more I try to forget,

the more I remember it.

The more I run from it,

the more it confronts me.

Your silence will suffocate me.

I will willingly give my life

to see you smile.

My smiles have been snatched

away from me.

You seem thousands of miles from

me, even though you're near me.

I'm here, Amar. All your sorrows

and problems are mine.

All I know is that you are mine.

Don't let my misfortunes

affect your life.

Go far away from me.

I had dreamt of happiness with you.

I saw you

and felt I had attained heaven.

Little did I know that one stroke

of fate would change everything.

I had no idea that one stormy

night would spell such shame and...

destroy all that I have.

I was human and could not resist.

You recall that I had received a

telegram about my father's illness.

I had hardly opened it when

I also ruined my own life.

I saw her with my own eyes.

She was staring at me.

She had poison in her eyes.

It seems the same poison was

flowing through my veins.

Look at me. Your strange talk

is frightening me.

You aren't well.

Your hands seem to be on fire.

This fire will destroy me.

Do you want to know

what's happened to me?

Do not worry,

for everything is for you

This moment may never return

These beautiful days of spring...

no one knows if they will return

You live your way

Don't listen to what others might say

Don't mix up the thorns

that live among the flowers

Life is full of problems

The boat and the waves

are saying loudly...

to cross life's river

singing and laughing

Do not worry,

for everything is for you

This moment may never return

I wish to entrust this to you.

I'm always afraid I'll lose it.

I want to marry you soon and

fulfill my father's wish.

I thought you didn't love me.

It's your love that has kept me alive.

I'll talk to your father today.

He's already decided

the engagement date.

An unmarried girl

is always a liability.

A husband like Sankat

a rare find.

He has fifty acres of land,

has a grass business...

and the entire village respects him.

No one respects him. They only

fear him because of his knife.

Do you want his knife to hang

over us, after giving...

our daughter away to him?

What good is a man who doesn't have

a knife and a moustache?

A knife and moustache are

the two signs of manhood.

If it were up to me, I would tie all

those without moustaches...

to an elephant's trunk.

Everyone in the village will

come to the wedding.

All will have to be fed.

And you will foot the bill.

I'll have a grand wedding.

You'll have to come on a horse.

An English band will

be in attendance.

And the bill will be paid by you.

Sankat, don't forget my

gold bracelets.

See that they are not bad.

Otherwise you'll have to

take back your marriage party.

Take back your bracelets.

I will not marry.

If you don't marry, then...

I'm a totally changed person now.

I swear on you,

I won't even harm a rat.

I will be your sl*ve always.

Sonia, but for me,

your calf would be finished.

Sankat had it confined

to a shed.

I've had it released for eight annas.

Give me twelve annas and

take back your calf.

That damn Sankat...

Sonia, I am going.

Listen you lawyer.

Sonia, you know that if any

man raises his hand to me...

I'll crush him.

Now see the fun. See how

much your Sankat has changed.

- You Advocate.

- What's your wish?

Slap me.

What do you mean?

Should I leave the village?

It's my tongue's fault.

It's not my fault.

If you want, I'll cut it off.

It's my bad luck to have

gotten caught here.

I'll never speak again.

Slap me, not yourself.

Behave like a man.

I don't wish to be a man.

Because of my word to you,

I've become a coward.

Otherwise I would have

cut him to pieces.

Why don't you do as I say?

Why don't you slap me?

My hand will not reach your face.

I'll take care of that too.

- Now slap me.

- Shut your eyes, brother Sankat.

I cannot look a lion in the eyes.

Alright, now slap me.

What are you thinking of?

Slap me!

Will you do it or not?

What are your orders?

Why don't you speak plainly?

There's no secret from you.

You know everything.

She's my only child and such

occasions come only once.

Sonia is to be married.

The landlord has given fifty rupees.

And Anju madam has given clothes

and a pair of silver anklets.

Sonia has served you, too.

You are very generous.

May God bless your home too.

May the sweet flute

be played here too.

It seems today is the test

of my new life.

Destiny is more merciful than the law.

What's your opinion?

You are no less Sir.

You gave away your entire wallet.

Was there a lot of cash in it?

One doesn't consider money

in matters of marriage.

It's the milkman's daughter's

marriage, sir, not yours.

When your bride comes into this

house, then watch how this...

accountant squanders away

your hard earned money.

Take a bride, sir.

It will bring joy to this house.

There will be neither joy nor

a bride in this house.

- I don't follow, sir.

- This house is cursed.

I feel depressed looking at

these walls. Have them torn down.

- Are you joking?

- Have I ever joked with you before?

No.

Then get rid of this house,

these walls, and this roof.

Have a new house built here.

Sir, our mason is an excellent worker.

He says that in fifteen days,

before your engagement...

he will have rebuilt this house

so that you won't even recognize it.

It will cost just nineteen

hundred rupees.

Imagine, a new house for

nineteen hundred rupees.

I told you that every brick

in this house must go.

Listen to me, my beloved

Don't worry if your heart is innocent

All my hopes are shattered

Even though I love you...

may someone else

be blessed with happiness

If there were no suffering in life...

If all the world was a garden...

then where would the deserts exist?

It's good that one of us isn't known

If all of us would come together...

then where would the lonely ones go?

Congratulate me, my love,

as I've destroyed myself...

and taught you what is true love

If the candle doesn't burn...

then where should the moth go?

If all the world was a garden...

then where would the deserts exist?

You gave me suffering...

and made me obliged to you

Otherwise, where would I go to get them?

If there were no suffering in life...

The highest court in the world

is man's own conscience.

Listen to its voice

and follow its dictates.

Don't deny the poor their rights.

God, give me strength.

Sit down.

I will not marry.

Why won't you marry?

Is he blind, or lame?

- Why won't you marry!

- Why are you beating her?

- Leave my child.

- Let her go!

Don't beat this girl.

You call her a human?

If she doesn't marry,

only her dead body will leave here.

Sonia, why don't you

want to marry?

- I'm already married.

- When? With whom?

- What good is it telling you?

- Who is the man? Where is he?

- You have no right to ask!

- Madam Anju, please leave.

This is a matter for our community.

Why don't you answer?

Who married you?

Who lit the fire around which

you took the sacred vows?

If you're married, then why

hasn't he come to take you away today?

If he has no courage,

why are you quiet?

Say who he is.

If she doesn't reveal his name,

then marry her off.

You're getting her married forcibly.

Don't get involved unnecessarily.

Come along.

This is unjust. I will not leave

Sonia in this state.

This marriage will not take place.

I won't permit this sin.

Whether you all believe it or not,

I believe her.

- She's already married.

- If she is married...

then let her go to her

husband's house at once.

- I have no place for her.

- Forget the house.

This shameless thing doesn't

deserve to stay in this village!

- She will disgrace all of us.

- Do you want us to be defamed?

Why are you separating me

from my child?

Don't you dare touch her!

Come with me, Sonia.

By taking her,

you are insulting all of us.

We live in huts, not in palaces.

We can lose everything

but not self respect.

If you give Sonia shelter,

we'll burn down your house.

I'm not afraid of your threats.

- Do whatever you want. Come Sonia.

- Stop her!

I'll cut off the hands

of anyone that moves.

You leave her, Madam Anju.

I'll deal with them. Come Sonia.

Sonia will stay in this village

and in this house.

Let me see what you can do.

What are you staring at?

Go away quietly.

Did you not hear?

Go away from here!

Sonia, I have nothing against you.

You had already refused me.

It was I who was smitten.

Why didn't you tell me

who has ruined your life?

Tell me his name.

I'll bring him to your feet.

If he won't come,

then I'll bring his dead body.

Just tell me his name,

I beg of you.

Forgive me Mr. Amar.

Anger within me has blinded me.

I have gone mad.

I suspected you.

You can never do such a thing.

You are a saint, Mr. Amar.

This is exactly

like the story of Radha's love

I can't stand being separated from you

Please help me and bless me

What justice is this?

I'm lost. I can't help it

Why have you done that?

Where was my fault?

I did it out of love for you.

I'm yours and will remain so

I am waiting for you.

Take pity on me, remember me

You made me a bride

for the sake of love

Please help me and bless me

Do you want me to stay away?

Come back to me and forget everything

I can't give up my dreams of love

You never asked me

Bring back my hopes

Rai Sahib, you should distribute

sweets to all the poor people today.

But you keep your mouth closed.

Don't put this flower pot there.

Left to you, you'll have me

do all the household chores.

You escaped narrowly.

The b*llet brushed your ear.

Otherwise you would be in pieces.

I couldn't find a

son-in-law like Mr. Amar...

if I searched forever

on my bicycle.

Stop everything and first

throw this talking phonograph out.

What are you doing, Sir?

All the sweets will go waste.

Put a stop to this broken record!

If you throw me out,

I'll inform the whole village...

they're invited to a party at your house.

The party is about land and property,

about friends and foes.

Let the whole world come,

but don't you return.

Father, look,

I have been given a new life.

I'm bursting with joy today.

I feel like plucking the stars...

from the sky

and presenting them to Amar.

I want to share my happiness

with the world.

The whole world will congratulate

me on my good fortune.

Let the applause

of the people fill my house.

Father, let me not become

mad with joy.

May God always keep both

of you happy like this.

Get some sweets for him.

First I want him to place

flowers at the Lord's feet.

He has given my life a new meaning.

Let's go.

- C'mon. Let's go.

- You go Anju. I'll wait here.

Why? If you have faltered,

why not confess before God?

After all, I'm a human being.

Then come on. I will ask

for forgiveness on your behalf.

Your heart is away from God

You still won't come

in spite of all your sins

Come, if you have the courage.

Come and ask His forgiveness

This is the temple of justice

and the house of God

If you lose faith

you'll suffer troubles and grief

Even God will never forgive you

These two hearts,

neither of you know what's inside

Only God knows what's inside

Come, if you have the courage.

Come and ask His forgiveness

This is the temple of justice

and the house of God

My Lord, no one has returned

disappointed from your altar.

You have protected my love.

Every pore of my body will

sing your praises.

A sin I committed has

distanced me from you.

It has distanced me from God.

I now leave my fate in your hands.

Please enter.

Come in, Amar. Where did you

go leaving Anju alone.

The guests are eager

for the function to begin.

A prodigal who returns

is not stamped as prodigal.

You've spoken absolutely correct.

I forgive your sins.

But sit quietly in a corner.

Can I sit in the corner

where the sweets are?

Please come in.

You'll have to sing something colorful.

I have no complaints

Nor am I upset

I am not upset

or have any complaints

I pray that you remain

safe and sound

I am not upset

The road of love is very difficult

Be careful when walking these roads.

It is dangerous

I have no complaints

I see strange things

happening with you

Sometimes it's bright,

and other times it's dark

Somewhere it is dark

The fate of the little lamps is strange

Some are burning,

and some are extinguished

I have no complaints

My congratulations on your new life

Don't think about my sorrow

Don't worry about my sorrow

All these tribulations are destined,

my friend

It is neither your fault nor mine

I have no complaints

Friends, the party is over

and you may go home.

The truth is that I

am very tired.

Both because of the party,

and my responsibilities.

Now I wish to sleep in

peace and quiet.

Who knows,

I may just keep sleeping.

That is why I order

Mr. Amarnath and Miss Anju...

to set their

marriage date quickly.

What kind of game are you two

playing like small children?

You were just laughing,

and now you are crying.

For you both it's a laughing

matter, but I feel disturbed.

This kind of joke I...

What's wrong, my child?

You shouldn't get upset

over small things.

You're not a child any longer.

Soon, you'll marry and go to his home.

A decent girl has to go

through so much in life.

She has to make many sacrifices.

I'll fetch Amar.

You shouldn't be upset with him.

I have the right to get

upset a thousand times.

Please don't get involved in this, father.

Don't call him here.

He should come on his own.

If he comes on your calling,

I'll never forgive him.

At least forgive me for my mistake.

It won't happen again.

I'm going mad! From today I

won't interfere at all in your affairs.

You came and left

without speaking to me

Why did you do it?

You never reveal to me

what's in your heart

I feel there's something

in your heart...

that doesn't show in your eyes

I was waiting for you to take me

I still don't know why

you're avoiding me

Why did you do it?

There must be something

in your heart for me

Why do you avoid me?

I wish to be beside you

You came and left

without speaking to me

Why did you do it?

Madam Anju,

have you lost something?

- Have you found anything?

- Yes.

Whatever you've found...

it belongs to you.

I don't deserve it.

It's very precious.

I have lost nothing.

I had nothing anyway.

Try and remember Miss Anju.

Are you very happy today?

Very happy!

- Have you found him?

- Who?

The one with whom

you are obsessed.

He had never left my heart.

What a beautiful picture, I can see.

Fate has brought us before

the same mirror today.

Now I know that when one looks

from a different angle...

the whole world looks changed, too.

It seems I'm seeing you

for the first time.

There's such magic in your eyes.

Is this the magic you used on him?

He says my clothes stink.

Who is he Sonia?

Tell me. No one is going

to steal him from you.

How can I tell?

You can't hide him now.

I can see him clearly in your eyes.

His handsome face.

The sadness of your separation

in his eyes, I can see.

I can't bear to see his sorrow.

Tell him his share of

sorrow is over.

My share of joy is over.

Shut your eyelids Sonia.

Hide them.

Take your ring.

Are you making fun of me?

I, too, am human.

I, too, have a heart,

but not of stone.

I too have loved and know

the price one has to pay for it.

I have been cheated,

but I haven't cheated anyone.

I have destroyed my own life.

I haven't destroyed anyone else's.

Go away from here, Sonia!

If she doesn't receive blood

at once, the child will die.

- Child!

- Then she, too, may not survive.

It's better if she dies

before anyone knows.

Make arrangements, doctor.

I'll give blood.

Anju, you may have to bear

the blame for Sonia's sin.

A calamity has taken place.

Sonia has disappeared.

The villagers think she's

jumped into a well and died.

I would have distributed sweets

if she was dead.

But she's alive.

Right in this house.

What's she doing here?

She's about to become the mother

of an illegitimate child.

Congratulations! Let's celebrate

with sweets.

- Get sweets from the father.

- Who's the father?

Go find him in the village.

What did you say?

- Who are you?

- Don't worry, take rest.

Let me go!

Don't be adamant Sonia.

The doctor says that if...

blood is not given, the child will die.

- Let me go.

- I'm with you.

I want God alone, no one else.

Let me go.

You can go child, but not now.

The trial has started.

They are only awaiting you.

Turn Sonia out of our temple.

The temple is no one's

personal house. It is God's abode.

We cannot tolerate this sin

in this sacred place.

Sonia is at her Lord's feet.

Who among you will remove

her from there?

We will!

Oh God,

why am I in this condition?

My life has been ruined

You're angry and have forgotten me

It will be worse

without the man for whom I'm waiting

I've lost my way

How I suffered cruelty

Don't keep me alive

in this sad condition

I can't ask for life

Oh God, take me away

My heart is looking for him

and he avoids me

My life has been ruined

You're angry and have forgotten me

I couldn't bring him back

Neither could I leave this life

You're the source of justice

Why have you ceased being just?

Are you afraid?

Why did it stop?

Are you angry with God?

Don't change your mind

Even luck is against you

My life has been ruined

You're angry and have forgotten me

If you take pity on me...

you'd listen to my complaint

You're not far. Don't forget me

You see my condition

yet don't answer my prayers

Such is the life of the poor

My life has been ruined

It will be worse

without the man for whom I'm waiting

I've lost my way

You're angry and have forgotten me

Where will you run now? The

villagers will cut you to pieces.

Why don't you reveal the name of

the person who has ruined your life?

I can't blame anyone but myself.

You want to conceal his sin

by hiding his name?

But I know who he is.

I will cut him into pieces!

Sonia, I couldn't avenge you.

My knife failed me.

My daughter is my only support

in my old age.

You know the law.

Save her from jail.

Have pity on this old man.

I won't go away till you agree.

You admit that...

you used this knife to k*ll Sankat?

- Yes.

- Why did you k*ll him?

He wanted...

He wanted to destroy my life.

The accused is lying and I wish

to call a witness to prove that.

Permission granted.

Sankat was telling Sonia to reveal

the man's name and tell the villagers.

That he knew who that person was.

If she didn't reveal it...

then he would k*ll that person

with the knife.

But whose name did Sankat take?

The question has no bearing

on the case.

The question is very relevant

to the case.

- I seek permission to ask.

- Permission granted.

Tell us, whose name was Sankat

taking at the time?

I did not hear the name.

You must be forgetting. Remember it.

I didn't hear the name.

It's no secret that Sonia

has a lover and she is about...

to become the mother of

that person's child.

The accused is in love with him.

That is why she has kept...

his name secret.

But when Sankat found out,

the accused had no option...

but to k*ll him to conceal

the identity of the man.

So she took the law into her

hands and k*lled Sankat.

The accused has committed

a serious crime and...

she should receive

the maximum punishment.

"The accused has committed

a serious crime...

and she should receive

the maximum punishment."

Your honor, the accused

is innocent. She didn't k*ll.

I have k*lled. You must

punish me. I have k*lled.

You should stop the proceedings

and announce the sentence.

The accused has admitted

her crime repeatedly.

These are lies. The accused

is telling lies to the court.

Shankat fell on his own and died.

There is no proof or

witness to support this.

I have the proof,

and the witness, too.

Where is that witness,

and where is that proof?

If they're available, then why don't

you present them before the court?

I take an oath on this

Holy Geeta and say that...

I am that proof.

I am the person Sankat

wanted to k*ll...

and who the accused

wants to protect.

I am the one who has

ruined Sonia's life.

This is the temple of justice

and the house of God

Express your wishes,

don't be afraid

You're responsible for your sins.

You gave her your child

Give her what's hers.

Don't be afraid

Try to understand her.

Give her your love

Forget all that happened

This is the temple of justice

and the house of God

Keep faith in Him.

Accept what fate brings you

It was your ill luck

to suffer difficulties

Save her from grief. Love is

a great thing and never fades away

Don't think of your past.

You know that very well

This is the temple of justice

and the house of God
