Sister...

Sister?

I'm eloping with your groom!

I'm ruining your life!

I will be married instead of you.

You'll rot here.

No wedding for you!

I am running away.

I'm going far away from you.
You can't catch us now!

Bless me, sister.
Bless me from a distance now.

It's my turn to laugh now.
And you'll cry.

[song playing]

INDU

Indu!

Indu!
Wake up!

Indu!

Can you hear me?

Indu.

Indu, the sun is almost up!

Disobedient even on her wedding day.

Indu?
Can't you hear me?

Your wedding morning ritual
is getting late.

Wake up!

Indu? Indu?

Sister, don't scold her.

Remember, during her last wedding...

Bring her with you.
I'm off.

Indu, wake up, dear.

I'm eloping with your groom.

No wedding for you!

Is that the flower van, Sukhen?
Who's blowing the horn?

Are you afraid, love?

No.

What's there to be afraid of this time?

I don't have another sister
who will elope with my groom.

Let's begin the rituals.

INDRANI WEDS

The board is not straight.
Check it properly.

-Too smart!
-Wow! The gate looks good!

-Come early.
-Of course.

What was the groom's name
last time?

INDU WEDS SOUGATO

What's the point?
Let bygones be bygones.

Is your wife okay?

She fell so sick last time,
the wedding had to be called off.

So many guests at home...

They might try to find the truth.

The fact that my health wasn't the reason
for calling off your wedding.

No one should know that.

Can you cover up a scandal this way, Mom?

You think people don't already know
who Mili married.

No, they don't.

Don't dig up the past now.

If they don't, then why did so many
marriage proposals break off?

This one didn't, right?

And we can't let it break off.

If this wedding is called off
I will...

The gifts are here from the groom's house.
Come down.

Indu, what about the jewellery?

Shame! Shame! Shame!

She has dishonoured the family name.

We are such a reputed family!

No one could point a finger at us!

What a horrible daughter!

She can't tolerate her sister's happiness.

She wants everything her sister has.

Shut up!

Don't cry.

There are guests here.

Want them to know our family scandal?

Then lower your voice.

Don't shout.

Sister...

Aunt is right.

We shouldn't let anyone know
that Mili is not here.

We've to tell people
that this wedding is off...

so that they don't smell a scandal.

Go upstairs and lie down.

Let everyone know
you're extremely unwell.

The wedding can't happen in this situation.

Then...

Indu can tell everyone the reason.

-Good idea.
-Let Indu tell everyone.

Me?

Hey! Don't you know
Aunty is on the death bed?

Be quiet.

Go to your room.

Mom is in a critical condition.

If I go away,
who will take care of her?

I have decided not to get married.

I have informed the groom’s family already.

So you cancelled the wedding?

Have you lost your mind?

I swear!

Girls these days decide
when they want to get married or not.

We never had the audacity.

How could you
inform the groom's family yourself?

I asked her not to...
But she just didn't listen.

Actually, she loves her mother so much...

You don't want someone else
to take care of your mother.

Right, Indu?

Wait...

Did they believe you?

Covering up the scandal was more important?

What about my feelings?

This scandal would've ruined our family.

We wouldn't be able to
show our faces in public.

Indu, we'll have to get you married off
eventually.

Get married? Again?

What do you mean again?

Forget about this one.

If you don't marry,
people will criticise me.

They'll blame me
for you never getting married.

Here they come.

Please come.

Hello, Aunty!
I am Sujato.

Bless you.

-You're Sougato's brother.
-Bless you.

We didn't meet you
when we went over.

-You've met me. I am...
-Pushi. Our pet cat.

Say meow.

See, Aunty...
He's always pulling my leg.

"Pushi"is my nick name.
My actual name is...

-I know, you're Poushali. Come.
-This way.

Please come.

Hey, get ready.

Let's go.

They've sent gifts for everyone!

Wow! So many perfumes!

-Hey, where is my...
-Move aside.

Wait.
Don't touch anything now.

Let madam come.
She will unwrap the gifts.

Jaya, is Indu ready?
Bring her downstairs.

Can you hear me?

Yes, she is ready.

Are you done?

-Sukhada.
-Yes.

-Take this fish to the cook.
-Right away.

-But first remove the nose ring.
-Okay.

Don't you have anything else to do?
Get out of here.

Useless lot!

Lock the door when you leave.

-Okay?
-Yes.

Here, here now!

Remove the towel.
Don't have to be so shy.

I'll see how shy you are
at your in-laws'!

What happened?

Why are you shying away?
Hmm?

Will you only undress for your husband
and not for us?

That's enough.
Don't pull her leg anymore!

We're just joking.

What's she going to do
on her wedding night?

You didn't eat anything
in the rush.

-It'll be bad luck for my daughter.
-No, Uncle.

We actually have a lot of work
back home.

Otherwise we'd...

Your daughter is our responsibility now.

We won't let anything bad happen to her.

Yes, Indu is part of your family now.

-Bye then.
-Bye.

Goodbye.

-Okay, bye.
-Let's go.

-Brother?
-Yes?

The cook is looking for you.
Something important...

What is it this time?

Let's see what his demands are now.

Damn it!

[humming]

Why the rush, Sujato?

They've hired a confectioner.

We could at least have some fresh dessert.

Have you looked at yourself?

I can see the effects
of the dessert on you.

Please hurry up!

So much left to do!

Please hurry.

Make sure that they are all the same size.

Okay?

Nothing less than perfect, okay?

Barun, what is it?
I have lots to do.

I was saying...

Is this fish part of the gifts
from the groom's house?

Probably.
Why?

I will bring the fish
to your room.

Okay.

What are you doing, Barun?

Don't keep the raw fish on the table.

Please look at the fish carefully.

What's there to see?

Is it rotten?

The fish is stitched up?

Hmm.

Indu.

Your clothes are in the bathroom.

Be careful.
Don't slip and fall down.

Okay.

The scales were fixed with glue.

Cut it up.

Barun, no one can know
we received this fish as a gift.

That's why I brought it here.

I am in this profession for so long...

Haven't seen such a thing.

It's a plastic thread.

Why did they stitch it up?

Why did they cut the fish
like this?

Is there something inside?

A leaf?

I can't understand anything!

Someone has cut the fish
and put this inside.

Got it?

Then after stitching...

What's going on?

A leaf inside the fish?

-Yeah!
-What leaf is it?

It looks familiar but...

Why did they send such a fish?

Is this part of their wedding rituals?

Please call them.

I'll do that.

My new phone.

My son got me the phone.

-Okay, okay.
-Very nice.

-Let me answer the call.
-Go ahead.

Hello, Mr. Shotodol.

No.

Yes.

No.

No!

You haven't sent?

Then this fish...

Oh!

Probably my...

It's my son-in-law...
He is...

He said he'd cook a French dish
with fish and leaves.

Yeah, he was in France.
He tends to do these things.

Oh what trouble!

Please throw away that fish.

I am sending a fresh one.
Okay?

Okay.

Since you're saying,
I'm assured now.

Goodbye.

This was for some French dish, Barun.

Throw it away.
They're sending a fresh one.

God! You scared me.

Huh!

Barun Uncle?

Have you ever seen a fish stitched up
with plastic thread?

You can go.

Don't tell anyone that I've kept the leaf.

Hmm.

Granny?

Granny?

Who is it?
Is it Indu?

Oh no!
Why did you enter with your wet clothes?

You will dirty the floor.

Grandma...

You lived in the village.

Have you seen this leaf?

This is a datura leaf!

Where did you find this?
It's poisonous.

It's highly poisonous.
Throw it! Right now!

So there's someone who doesn't want
this wedding to happen.

Or else why would someone send
a poisonous leaf?

Did you say something?

Grandma, new scandals are brewing.

But this time I will not let anyone
cover it up.

Okay?
