Devdas

A hot, sultry day in May...

6 X 1 = 6

6 X 2 = 12

6 X 3 = 18

6 X 4 = 24

We'll eat raw mangoes.

- That's why l've brought salt!

6 X 5 = 30

6 X 6 = 36

Devdas is running away, sir.

- Devdas! Where are you going?

Come here, you rascal.

Once you go, you never return.

Your father may be a rich man.

ln fact he only ordered...

that you stay behind to study.

Bholu! What the hell do you do?

Listen carefully. lf he gives me

the slip, you'll have it!

Now, give him some sums.

Here, do these sums.

- Go and sit there.

l can't do these.

- Show me.

lf the cost of oil

is Rs.14.65, then...

then this!

What happened? Where's Devdas?

- Sir...

Catch him!

You've spoilt my lime-powder.

- Wasn't my fault.

He pushed me, and ran off.

- Pushed you and ran off?

And you couldn't even stop him?

Hey! What are you laughing at?

Where has he gone?

We couldn't catch him.

- Why?

He threw stones at us.

- He hit me with one over here.

Blood!

- He broke your head?

Let's all go to his father.

Let him see his son's deeds.

He'll not attend school anymore!

Come Bholu! What's this?

Pocketing my lime-powder, eh?

Not my fault.

- Empty your pocket... go on!

Don't wipe your face as yet.

We've to show his father.

Will Devdas be really rusticated?

- Can't say with this silly teacher.

l don't feel like attending myself!

Come.

Now you tell me what to do, sir.

- lt's a problem. My son?

lf the fence starts to eat

the grass, who'll guard it?

Where is he?

- l don't know.

When kids chased him, he...

Where's that boy? Come here.

Look for yourself, Sir.

Get Deva from wherever he is!

Don't worry, master.

Everybody is equal to me.

Deva will not be spared.

Come on, boys...

Why are you by yourself today?

Where's Deva?

He ran away.

- What do you mean?

That chap fell in the lime-powder.

Have you seen Bholu's face?

Looks like a white washed house!

Will you just giggle, or explain?

Tell me where Deva is.

- l don't know.

You know alright. Tell me.

He must be hungry.

Sure. But l won't tell you

because he'll hit me it l do.

l'll take some food for him.

- Do that, but listen...

Coax him and bring him

home by evening.

Alright. l'll get him.

Do you know what happened

in school today, Father?

Silly! What happened?

- l'm very hungry.

l'll eat something and then tell you.

- Okay.

Mummy, l'm famished.

Give me something to eat.

ls that all? lt's not enough.

- This is your daily quota.

Why extra today?

- Give her. lt's nothing heavy.

Just puffed-rice.

Give my darling girl some more.

Happy?

Who's there?

lt's you, Paro. Come.

Smoking tobacco again, eh?

- So what? All men do it.

Get something to bite, eh?

Good!

What did our teacher do?

He went and reported

to your father.

He told my father? Then?

- He won't let you attend school.

Never mind. l never wanted to

study anyway. Give me sweets.

l didn't bring any.

Get water.

- From where?

No sweets, no water...

What the hell! Go get water!

l won't go, because you'll

run away from here.

l won't. Go.

No...

- No? Go, l say!

l'll go and tell everything

to your father!

Listen Paro...

Get lost!

l looked everywhere, father.

No sign of him.

Where can he be?

Why are you crying, dear?

- Deva hit me!

Where is he?

- ln the orchard.

Do you know? He smokes

tobacco on the sly too.

What! He smokes also now?

Calamity indeed. Bad times ahead.

No school or food for him from now.

Devidas, go this moment...

and get him here somehow!

Pernicious! Bane to the family!

Catch him! Stop him!

Can't you see?

- Catch him!

Run away from school, eh?

Pick fights too. Rascal!

Stop it!

You've beaten him enough. Stop!

Thrash him verbally,

but don't kill him!

Shut up.

Your leniency has spoilt him!

Nobody dare open this door.

And no food him either!

Come and eat your food.

No!

- Come son.

Paro, your food's getting cold.

- l won't eat. l've a tummy-ache.

Come here, Paro.

Why did you tell him l smoked?

- Why did you hit me?

Why didn't you get water?

- Why do you scold me?

Silly! Now don't squeal on me again.

Then don't hit me again.

- l won't.

You mean you have forgiven me?

- Yes, want it in writing?

Let's go to Rambabu's garden.

l'll get you a baby-bird.

Keep this money with you.

''Dear wonderful bird,

your place is far away''

''Once you leave a branch

when will you return to it?''

''The blue sky is your swing...

- Not a swing, but a courtyard''

''The blue sky is your courtyard

and the rainbow your swing''

''ln the litter of your bright

wings you fly with gay abandon''

''With a cocky walk, a heady look,

and a beautiful face to boot''

''Come down from that branch

and listen to what l say''

''Our house is nearby.

Come and choose your grain''

''Today be our guest

and sing and laugh...''

''No, laugh and sing...

- Dear bird''

''lf you've to go, then let us

dress you up with flowers''

''Let us kiss your forehead,

and put bells on your feet''

''Then go away happily

wherever you want to go''

Father, a man had come weeping that

his fishing net in the water...

... was torn to pieces by Devdas.

- His pranks are getting worse!

l'll send him to Calcutta to your

brother. He'll he ruined here.

To the city, at such a young age?

- No Mother, don't spoil it now.

lt's for his own good.

- Okay. Do what you think right.

l won't interfere at all.

l won't go.

- Don't cry, son.

l won't go to Calcutta...

l'm not happy to send you away too.

But you'll study better there.

Now come along.

Go and sit in the carriage.

Go on.

Don't cry while leaving.

l'll be there with you.

And during holidays,

we'll come back here.

l won't go!

Let's see how you don't.

Get in.

Coachman, let's go.

l'll come during the holidays.

Hey, listen...

Do you know how to sing?

- Of course, why not?

Then sing.

One doesn't sing for the heck of it.

We must be paid.

Let's go to your house and sing.

- No... not at home, but here.

You'll have to give pennies...

- Pennies? l've just got Rupees!

Rupees? Come child...

Let's go under that tree there.

''Come and meet me dear Krishna...

come and meet''

''Come, dear Krishna, your Radha's

roaming all alone, looking lost''

''Roaming all alone, looking lost.

- So come Krishna, come and meet her''

''We all miss you so terribly

in Vrindavan, dear Lord...''

''We miss you so very much,...''

''The day your topic comes up,

our haunted eyes overflow''

''Our haunted eyes overflow...''

''Even now we worry in mind,

what will happen in future''

''For your Radha's roaming

all alone, looking lost''

''Radha's roaming, looking lost;

so come Krishna...''

''You still haven't sent us

any news about yourself''

''We still have no news from you.

- No news from you...''

''Every girl in Vrindavan has

gone mad crying over you''

''Come and console them,

show your face O Lord...''

''For your Radha's roaming

all alone, looking lost''

''Radha's roaming alone and lost.

- So come, dear Lord, come''

Truly lovely!

lt brought tears to my eyes.
