The village is so

big and it was night.

And who would

return them if found?

The entire procession

turned back with the torches.

Asking in front of each

house if they found the earrings.

I told my mother-in-law: "Forget it.

We will get new ones made.

We are in a wedding and should

let the celebrations go on."

Sister, do they own this house?

No, it's rented.

They are just like us.

Earlier her father-in-law

lived here. He died.

Now the owners can't get the place

vacated. Nor do they want to leave.

You have these while I get the tea.

You ruffians..

..come and have some snacks.

What work does her husband do?

She says he works as a foreman.

But actually he just lifts

coal in the thermal plant.

Why do they need to lie?

Well, they can boast

that they are well off.

I was asking just like that.

What happened?

I had hidden the money in this.

It's not there now.

You must have kept it somewhere

else. Search properly.

No, I had kept it in this.

Did it fly away?

It's all his handiwork.

Whose? Melu's?

Who else?

Must have wasted it on alcohol.

Now he has also

started doing all this.

If I had known, I would

have taken the money with me.

I would have never left it behind.

There is nothing left

to even buy grocery.

Should I now cook

his head for the meal?

What's the point of wailing now?

When you don't share these

matters with your close relatives,

..then suffer the consequences.

What can anyone do?

Come on, don't get distracted.

Deesa..

O Deesa..

What's the matter?

How did this happen?

Did you have a fight with someone?

No, friend.

A calf suddenly came in front,

near the fort.

I lost control of the

handle and crashed into a wall.

Melu Singh, stop bluffing me.

Its my daily job.

If you still think that I am dumb,

..then its upto you brother.

Why will I lie to you, friend?

I swear by the holy cow.

Why do you swear by the cow?

If you don't want to tell,

don't tell.

What will I achieve by knowing?

Get the bandage done

once again tomorrow.

Deesa, let's go to

the village one day.

What will we do in the village,

Melu Singh?

Eat the leftovers of the landlords?

Besides, what is left for us there?

Parents have died.

The small house that is there

is taken by my younger brother.

Have I built any cold storage

there that I need to go?

Don't you want to

give any medicine to eat?

Be quiet.. shut up.

Come inside.

I see you have a deep wound.

Let me apply a paste

of turmeric and oil.

Be quiet, you old Hakim.

Let me apply a paste

of turmeric and oil.

It will quickly heal your wound.

O old man, just go away.

Where should I go away?

I am repeatedly telling you..

It will give you relief..

its a home remedy.

Just go away, friend.

Its a home remedy..

Let me sleep for a while.

Blue eyes and round cheeks

Your every bit full of youth..

..out in the world,

you will wreak havoc over us.

O, you should not giggle so much..

..standing amongst the girls.

Having crossed the age of fifteen..

..tread cautiously in the day.

Hurry up, pick your glass.

Be patient.

Ok, give it.

C'mon! - Wait.

Drink.

What a relief.

Lets play a round now.

Pick it.

Pick it.

Come on leader, come join us.

Let's play a game.

Look, he has got the real

certificate of leadership!

If I find any clubs with you,

I'll not spare you.

Come, I'll show you

my true colours today.

O, Melu..

Your wife was supposed

to reach today..

Brother Melu Singh..

I'll give you an advice.

Will you follow?

Pick it.

It's been seven years

since you moved here.

Tell me, what have you achieved?

You have been abusing your body.

Or not?

Scoundrels like us are fine.

At sunset we come over to Sitaram's,

..have a couple of

swigs and become kings.

And this idiot..

This idiot keeps breaking

his legs till midnight.

And neither eats

nor drinks anything.

You fool..

Half your breath has been

squeezed out by your family..

..and the remaining

half by your work.

The hundred that you earn in a day..

..and the ten that

you save for food,

..how long will your

wife be happy with that?

You know what will

happen in the end?

In the end she will find a desperate

man like me and run away with him!

And you will be left with nothing.

This dick-head looks

very depressed today.

Get up, you looser. Let's go.

If you had taken the

amount of blows we did,

..your wife would

have been wailing by now.

He who did not drink heavily..

..and did not mercilessly

beat his wife..

..and did not get high on drugs

..of what use is that man's life!

Lets's wrap it up.

Lets go.

O you merciful one..

Forgive us O Lord.

Must remain fearful of your acts.

What was it like before

and what happens now..

What will become of this world?

See.. how many stalks

of mustard these must be.

I slogged the whole

day plucking cotton..

..getting scratches on my hands.

I didn't leave a

single bud in the field.

While leaving,

I plucked a few leaves of mustard..

..and these stalks for the goats.

He said:
"Who the hell

are you to touch our mustard?"

He started fuming in anger.

He said:
"You have

ruined our mustard fields!"

I also got angry and said:

"Listen kid. I am like your mother,

have some shame."

"Is this the way to talk?"

He said:
"You ruin our fields

and we should be ashamed of it!"

I said:
"These are

just two stalks of mustard.

God has given you everything.

Now you even have a

tractor as big as a house.

You miserly,

what are two stalks of mustard?"

God also has to give it to..

..those who don't have

any respect or pity for humans.

I will never again pluck

cotton for such treacherous people.

First, they don't pay

wages for two-two months..

..and when they settle your

accounts, they cut half your wages.

Still they boss over

you:
"We give you work!"

If you give us work,

you don't do us any favour.

Its for your own need

that you call us to work.

Hundred carts of mustard stalks

would be lying with the trecherous,

never will they give

a bundle to anyone.

Those will rot in the summer, but

they don't let anyone touch them.

Finally I got these stalks

of mustard from Khema's farm.

Even he did not simply give it and

made it sound like some huge favour.

He muttered:
"Aunt, you

can take it today, but not again.

We also don't have much of it."

What is this? It's just meagre fuel.

Those were also the times..

..when people called you

home to take away the dry stalks.

The poor would give blessings.

Don't know what's

happening to this world.

Even the devil does

not behave like this.

What the hell have you done,

my enemy?

May the earth devour

you at such a small age.

Why are you beating up the poor kid?

At least ask him what happened.

Bachittar's son hit

the goat with a sickle.

Why? Why the hell did he hit it?

Did the goat eat his grape vine?

May there be no one left

to light their funeral pyres..

Let there be no one

left to remember them.

May there be no trace left of them.

Girl, I told you

to make some rotis..
