Aradhana Page #3

So what? An Air Force Officer

should always work with speed.

Every second is precious.

Where were you, my dear?

I was looking all over for you.

This is my father.

Because your daughter

should've been in the Air Force.

- Why?

- I'll explain.

Air Force Officers

need to have two qualities.

Sharp vision and good speed,

which your daughter has.

- I still don't understand.

- I'll explain again.

Amongst all these officers, your

daughter chose our best officer.

This indicates sharp vision.

And they fell in love within

two days which indicates speed.

I thank you for coming here

to celebrate my birthday.

To be frank birthday greetings

should be given...

...to those

Air Force Officers...

...in whose lives

every day is a birthday.

Whose lives are in peril

at every moment of everyday.

Those officers

should be congratulated...

...who break the sound barrier

piercing the sky like lightning...

...to go far above the earth

to protect their country.

Be it war time or peace time.

Flight lieutenant Arun would

be able to explain it better.

Because he has recently gone

through a tragic experience.

And that tragedy is Ms Vandana.

- What happened?

- Nothing.

- Why are your eyes shut?

- I'm dreaming of you.

- Why is your heart racing?

- It is calling out to you.

- Why are you taking quick breaths?

- To come closer to you.

They've brought me so far.

- Really?

- Yes.

I am very happy today.

You are mine and I am yours.

And... You are mine

and I am yours.

When a man looks for a mate...

...he has the image

of a girl...

...in whose eyes he can see

love, sacrifice and dedication.

Suddenly you came

into my life...

...and my dream came true.

Really?

Don't you believe me?

If you don't believe me

ask these ice-capped mountains.

Ask the waves of these rivers

and ask the spring.

Our hearts beat as one...

...will echo in the hills.

Listen...

Nice shot, sir ...

Isn't that right, Madan?

- Arun, have you ever

played billiards? - Well...

Do you know what they call

this shot?

This flattery can only mean that

you want a favour or else...

I need special permission.

My fiancee has never seen

a plane from close quarters.

Then show it to her.

Sir, she would like

to see me flying the plane.

Then fly a plane and show her.

She wants to be beside me

when I fly the plane.

You know that no civilian

can board an Air Force plane.

But Vandana is not a civilian.

She is a girl.

I mean, she is my fiancee.

And you know all about a girl's

resolve; you're experienced.

Absolutely not.

The experience was only once..

and I had to marry the second time.

Sir, suppose you make

a promise to your wife...

...isn't it necessary to

keep it? - You have no choice.

Do you know the meaning

of the word "wife'?

My Army, Navy and Air Force

is Vandana.

I have promised her

a joyride, sir.

And you want me to break the Air

Force rules for your joyride?

I permit you. But you must use

the flying club aircraft.

And...

You are going to get married

and I have 20 years experience.

I have some advice for you.

The first is:
Always fulfill

a promise made to your wife.

- And the second? - Don't

promise or you'll regret it.

I have never seen such clouds.

Vinu, we are in the sky

and we are far above the clouds.

Just you and me.

It feels like a dream world.

It is my dream world.

My life in the Air Force...

...where there is no limit

to speed or flight.

The earth is ours

and so is the sky.

The Air Force is a part of me.

And I?

You are in every breath I take.

You have already reached a great

height; your speed is also great.

Do we have to land back on the

ground after reaching the skies?

Dear chief and my

fellow brethren...

...on this holy festival

and with your blessing...

...I wish to announce my

daughter Champa's engagement.

And the man whom I have chosen

to be my son-in-law is...

Myself.

Really? Do you have the ability

to give a thousand rupees?

Rs 1000. I don't even buy

vegetables without bargaining.

And this is a matter

of my whole life.

- Will you take Rs. 200

- 200!

Manglu, you also want to marry

her, right? Name your price?

- Rs. 5... 500.

- Excellent!

- Damn!

- Rs. 1000.

- Sir...

does a big officer like you

wish to marry my daughter?

No. I don't want you

to auction your daughter.

Let her marry Tikaram

whom she loves.

- Do you love this fool?

- Yes, father.

- Oh, fool's father-in-law.

- Yes.

Decide quickly for

if my master leaves in a huff...

...then you will be left

with nothing.

What are you saying?

The alliance is fixed.

Respected chief

and my fellow brethren...

...today I fix my

daughter's wedding with Tikaram.

Garland me quickly.

Now on this joyous occasion

and according to our custom...

...I ask everyone to celebrate

with a drink.

Sir, do the honours.

You fool! How can you give

the gentleman our local stuff?

The gentleman drinks Scotch.

Your drink, sir.

Take this, sir.

Will you drink now?

Miss, don't say anything today.

It is a matter of my life

and death. It is customary.

If sir doesn't drink the

villagers will be displeased.

Yes, of course.

Now I shall have to drink.

Tikaram, give me the bottle too.

- Praise be the Lord!

- Amen.

- Praise be the Himalayas!

- Amen.

- Praise be the Goddess!

- Amen.

Sir, you are drunk.

Let me direct you to the jeep.

- Where?

- To the jeep.

- Come along, miss.

- Let's go.

Be careful, Arun.

How will you walk?

I can fly... Here I come.

Fly away, sir.

Even I shall fly to my Champa.

Will you fly? All right.

- Stop the car!

- What happened?

If I knew you would get drunk

I'd never have come with you.

You're worrying unnecessarily.

I'm absolutely sober.

- Come closer, darling.

- Let me go. You're drunk.

I'm not intoxicated with alcohol

but with you and your eyes.

- Don't touch me!

- Vinu, listen to me.

- Vinu, just listen to me.

Stop! Come back or

I'll jump off the mountain.

Jump to your death.

I am not concerned with you.

Not concerned with me?

All right, I'm going.

Don't regret it later.

Vinu, I'm going

straight to heaven.

Praise the God!

Arun, what have you done?

I was just joking.

Believe me.

For the sake of God...

And for the sake of our love

please come back.

- Or else I shall jump.

- Jump.

It is a pity that you thought

that I was so terrible.

You mistook tea for alcohol.

Drink it. It's water.

It was Tikaram's idea.

You shouldn't have done this.

I was scared to death.

You are my life.

Do you think that

I would have died so easily?

My heart is still

beating wildly.

- Don't ever play such a prank again.

- I won't.

If I hadn't done it, I wouldn't

have seen this side of you.

And the fury whose flush

causes every bud to bloom.

Stop teasing.

Among all the various sights,

this lake is the best.

- It is known as Lake Asha(wish).

- That's a very strange name.

It's believed if you throw a

coin and wish, it is fulfilled.

That's amazing!

We should wish right away.
