You may go, my child

Prabha will look after the

prayer preparations

Then, I will not be a part of this ceremony

You'll do as I say!

His ritual will take place...

and you will be a part of it

Pundit Chaturvedi is encouraging

her bad behaviour

If the elder brother is forbidding it,

why does he need to butt in?

He thinks he is God

And father and the foolish people

of Benares believe he is God

He is not!

And still he insists on controlling

everyone's life

You scoundrel!

Don't I know you'd love the same

You'd love to have Pundit Chaturvedi's

job and status

Welcome, sir.

Come, pray. Peace for father,

grandfather, your dead

That is ridiculous!

So what if he holds the highest

post of priesthood...

My knowledge is no less than his

Welcome madam

Perform the invocation ceremony,

seek the blessings of River Ganges

Ma'am, fees

You're doing well for yourself

You get to touch these sexy foreigners

need to earn my living.

Your father doesn't pay for my expenses

like he does for Pundit Chaturvedi

That's because you aren't the

Head Priest of our temple

Wouldn't you love to be the Head Priest?

- Dawn is breaking -

- Washing away the cover of darkness -

- Awaken! -

Whose baby is this?

What's wrong?

Vedika was playing outside.

A woman was thirsty

She gave Vedika the baby

and went to drink water

She didn't return

What?

You brought in a child from the street?

Not knowing his caste,

how dare you touch him?

It's a Brahmin's child

Vedika had asked the mother

You shouldn't have brought the baby home

His mother must be worried

Go back and wait for her

Vedika waited for 4 hours.

She didn't return

I hope all is well

You did tell her that you were

Punditji's daughter, didn't you?

Then she'll surely find her way here

You can go into the temple.

Everything's ready

Take him there. Play with him

Will you do the morning prayers

in the afternoon?

I have to boil milk for the child

He'll be hungry when he wakes up1

He'll disrupt Vedika's studies

He has already disrupted your

duties towards God

What if he was our own child?

I'm sure God will forgive the delay

He knows everything

You are right. God is omniscient

You little brat!

Mother, look what he has done!

I'll iron another uniform for you

Go, take a bath

I rushed home after the temple prayers...

to prepare everything for your father

But this little one is intent on delaying me

Vedika!

Pick him up!

I can't. I'm going for a bath.

I'll get late

I'll pick him when I finish

preparing the prayer plate

It's almost done

I'll just bring the plate

'Salutations to the mighty Lord Shiva'

Your love for this child has blinded you

I will have to bathe again

Has he made you bathe twice?

Mother, I'm leaving

I'll get your breakfast

- Mother, I've had the gruel

He was crying so much...

I thought Mani would be

here to mind him...

but she didn't come

I should've made your breakfast

I can take care of myself

From tomorrow, I'll wake up early

and help you...

That won't be necessary

If the child's mother doesn't

show up by tomorrow...

Inspector Sharma will take him away

It's good that you have come, dear

Wash your hands and make some

wheat pancakes for me

Or I too will have to eat gruel or

fodder meant for the cow

- How do I open my heart to you?

- I am devoted only to you

- My lord and master

- You are my world

- The colour of your love...

- Is the colour I wear

- Oh my lord, my love

- I am devoted only to you

Bastard! How dare you take

photographs of my sister!

Please don't beat him.

It's not his fault

- All that I see is you

Don't hit him so much that he dies

- My words speak only of you... -

- Even as the tears of love

- Wash away the kohl in my eyes

- You remain my beloved

The fault lies with our own people

They still suck upto these foreigners...

in the guise of providing

them knowledge

Punditji has come

You should get your daughter

married immediately

I will now tell you the

duty of a father...

as prescribed by the scriptures...

which means...

the groom's family,

his temperament, health...

reputation, knowledge, wealth and

the good deeds of his ancestors

Only by adhering to these 7 virtues...

can a daughter be given away

in marriage

And it is the duty of the daughter...

to aid her father in this task

Have you understood that my child?

Now listen to me!

If you dare to venture out of the house...

I will drown you and that foreigner

in the Ganges

Do you understand?

- Like the river flows into the ocean

- My being flows into yours

- The sound of your flute

- will lead me to you -

Your presence saved Paul

Had something serious happened to him...

Surya Prakash wouldn't have got bail

Any news of the child's mother?

I checked with the Police control room

No child has been reported

missing in this locality

Is there no way to trace the child's mother?

I can check in other villages

around Benares

But that will take some time...

About a week

If no complaint has been lodged...

it's unlikely you will find her

The woman has abandoned the child

It is your belief that...

everything is preordained

May be, God has sent us

this child for a purpose

Till Inspector Sharma gets

more information...

shall we keep the child?

Lmprove your punctuation

- Yes, father

Come here, my child

What happened on television today?

Thanks to this little one...

I couldn't go to Gayatri's house

to watch T.V.

Your little one could be

a blessing in disguise

All girls are born with a maternal instinct

I wish Vedika gets married

to a handsome young man...

Vedika's marriage will not be

according to your wishes...

but where it is destined

Fate preordains every relationship

in the world

You are lying to me

She's eloped!

And you have no clue?

I'll kill you, I'll kill everyone

I'll destroy this entire house

Have you gone mad!

Put that down!

Mani has driven me mad!

How will we face the world?

You and Pundit Chaturvedi have caused this

I've lost both my children, Punditji

What should I do now?

If Mani was your daughter,

what would you do?

I wouldn't be able to do anything

A girl who weds by her own choice...

is responsible for her own deeds

Consider her dead

Had Pandit Chaturvedi not entertained Paul

you wouldn't have to see this day

How dare you step on the holy flowers!

These non-believers have sworn

to defile our religion!

I'll teach you a lesson

Leave me

Stop it. Relax. Calm down!

Nothing can be achieved by

what you are doing

We need to protect our way of life,

our Dharma

Come join us in our fight

against all non-believers

Hail, the Mighty Lord Shiva

- To protect our religion...

- it's our duty to destroy its enemies

- Our culture demands this from us

Our religion is the most ancient

and the purest

Foreigners and non-Hindu forces are

constantly attacking our religion

Do not deviate from the path

you have chosen to tread

It is your path to salvation

Pray that we continue to march ahead
