become a noose to me...

I lost faith in love...

I want to go to a world

devoid of love...

I must reach a place

you can never even dream of...

You said a large family.

But I don't see anyone here.

My grandfather is of olden times.

He's God to this place.

We abide by his rule and live for

generations as a joint family.

Our grandpa decided our marriage

after college studies.

They fixed the date and

started making arrangements too.

We didn't want to marry so early.

We wished to reach top

in our respective jobs.

We tried hard to convince grandpa

but he didn't listen.

He said he'll think of it

after marriage.

So, we ran away from home

just days before marriage.

I rented a room and

she joined a hostel...

We took up jobs.

Everyone at house accepted us.

But grandpa stopped talking

to us since then.

He didn't worry much about me.

But he dotes her.

She lost her mother at birth.

So, grandpa and all others

took special care for her.

We came here last year too.

Grandpa didn't enter house

till we were here.

This marriage is too cool his temper.

I think this will cool him.

Why didn't you introduce her to me?

How many times should I ask her?

She decided not to meet

any of my friend.

She thinks she's very intelligent.

She gets angry if I go to meet her.

How can I take you with me?

Look! Who is coming?

Old man is coming.

I'll inform the villagers about it.

Grandpa!

Go...seek his blessings...

you too go.

Why are they seeking my blessings?

Tell them their foolish

grandpa is dead.

Why those harsh words?

Be happy for their achievements.

I don't need to learn how

to be happy from you.

Is it?

Who is he?

Grandpa! He's my friend.

Few days...

Few days?

- To stay here for few days...

You don't have a place here

and you've a guest with you.

Look at him.

He's like a beggar.

Tell him not to come before me.

- Okay.

He's too much.

- Please bear it for me.

She's bright like a bride, right?

May you live like a Goddess.

Move... drink boost.- No.

Move... move... I haven't yet

seen my niece.

How are you dad?

- You wait.

Kusumamba! I got this from

town especially for you. Take it.

By next year you must gift

us a baby, Kusumamba.

Kusumamba?

- My grandma's name.

That's her real name.

She changed it to Keerthi for city folks.

Come, let's go in

Haven't you seen a man till now?

What a family!

Oh God! You scoundrel, who are you?

Bloody donkey How dare!

- Why are you beating me?

What is your caste, religion?

Blood sucking vampire.

Hey! get turmeric water.

He has defiled the place.

I've to cleanse the place.

What am I to do? Get it fast.

Come inside.

- Leave me.

What happened now?

Did you call me here

to get beaten up?

You may be a great family,

but I'm leaving.

She's my grandma.

She's little unbalanced.

Adjust please.

Mad? Old lady broke my back.

My sister-in-law

Enough Prasunamba

My name is Pooja

That is... I got it.

Is the entire family mad?

Oh! What's this?

- What?

What's this outfit?

Shouldn't I take bath?

- So what?

You must take bath here like this only.

No bathrooms here. Undress and tie this

This looks very small size.

No need, I'll take bath tomorrow morning.

You mustn't enter house

without bath, grandma will shout.

Hey short fat boy! One rag on head

and you'll get 2 inches shorter.

I'm not used to loincloth.

- Than take bath without it.

Bloody

How dare you beat me?

If you say something now,

I'll strangle your neck.

I won't take bath. Go to hell.

He's hardly above the ground

but shouting at me.

Father-in-law, please bless the children.

It's me sir. Don't beat me.

- What's now?

Get up sir. Nobody must sleep here

after the rooster crows.

Get out.

- Please come out sir.

If old man comes to know,

he'll create a scene.

What's all this?

Thank God! Coffee has come.

What's this?

Neem leaf extract.

- What leaf?

Grandpa's rule to have it every morning

Only then your pot will be clean.

Why are you kicking?

- What's everyone doing?

10 minutes walk for free motions.

Grandpa's rule.

Walking? Here!

What's this?

He's a pain.

What's going on?

It's farts all over.

Where is everyone going?

Don't you want to go to toilet?

- For that?

Everything is open air here.

Grandpa's rule.

How many bathrooms can we

build for this large family?

Don't ask silly questions. Come.

What a family! It's a hell.

How can any man go to toilet

in this chill weather?

We'll not know even if any snake passes.

What?

I'm finished.

Where's water?

What?

Shouldn't I clear my doubt?

Clean with leaves.

We can wash in the pond later.

What leaves?

Where am I to find

leaves in darkness?

Why is he still sitting pants down?

May be new to the place.

Bloody rogues!

Where have you all gone?

Shameless creature.

- Did you see?

Bloody! You're killing me.

What a nasty family.

I want to talk to you.

Please don't see me like a criminal.

I feel like killing myself.

I know your pain.

Your father died because of me...

I don't even have the right

to seek your forgiveness.

A good man died because of me.

Please don't cry.

Someone may watch us.

Why should we forgive you?

It was our mistake without

knowing about you well...

I came to know after coming here,

an entire family dotes on you.

How can you fall in love?

I've understood it.

Don't feel guilty for my father's death,

you're not responsible.

Massive cardiac arrest.

Nobody can help it.

He had two more

attacks prior to this.

Early morning... in his sleep...

a peaceful death...

How many are lucky to have

such peaceful death?

He'll be happily singing duets

with my mother in heaven.

If you feel embarrassed for

my presence, tell me I'll go away.

No... no problem.

Your presence is not a problem to me

What's it dear?

Aunty, that is... Ganesh's...

- Aunty! She's inquiring about Vasu.

Are you seeing Vasu now?

Silly girl.

Tie him to your apron strings

after the marriage.

I'm seeing her smile first time now.

She loves this dish.

Have it dear. Have it. -Yes...?

What do you want?

- Vasu..?

He went to the fields with others.

Didn't you go with him?

I dozed off after bath.

Ask Mangaiah! He'll take you there.

- Okay.

Eat... please eat... - Enough.

- Please have it dear.

Madam, I feel embarrassed to ask

I feel very hungry...

Is there anything to eat?

Why are you feeling shy to ask?

This is also your house.

Why are you still watching fun?

Give me the plate.

You put the frying pan on stove.

Come... have it hot.

Grandma...

Old woman is like that only.

You come in.

Why are you watching

without blinking?

Won't you take care of guests?

Go and get a plate. You come.

Enough... enough... I can't...

Don't talk. Eat.

No... I can't eat so much.

Can you leave this place

without finishing it?

Yes, have it Ganesh.

Why are you feeling shy?

Have it son.

Few more?

What are your parents

doing back home?

I don't have anyone.

They are dead.

Have it son.

Don't ever say like that.

Aren't we here for you?
