Thank you

I was right. It's Jodhpur

Come on

Trust me. It's Jodhpur, I know

I'll take you there. Come on

Half-hour to the bus-stop,

half-hour for the bus to arrive,

half-hour to reach the junction

from where we've to take another bus

Now, to find the place

where this photo was taken

Meaning?

Listen...

Groundnut is what

we'll feed on from now on

Where is she? Where?

Where to?

You make me walk miles, you don't

feed me food or water

I feel like jumping off

from where you are right now

I'm tired

I was right here

Now what, chief?

What does that mean?

- We divide the territory amongst us

What...? Thousands of homes...?

- So?

We can't knock all doors.

- I'm willing to knock...

all the doors in Rajasthan.

Thousands hardly matter

We are not sure if they live here.

They might've come here on a vacation

We'll know only after inquiring.

- Good God! Wait...

This is idiotic

This may be their house

We need help

Conman

Not about money

He betrayed my trust

But he gathered the courage

to return

Yes

They may be Rajputs

Golden nose-ring,

the colourful turban,

chain around the neck,

their dresses,

I told you. Master-ji used to teach

history of Rajasthan. He's retired

Did anyone ask you?

No

I can't figure out more.

They could be...

Master-ji...

Master-ji...

- What?

I was wondering

if they are Agni clan...?

No, no way

Yes

They could be the Agnis

Fifty kilometres from here,

across Highway 11...

there's a village called Sarovar.

Go there, you might find something

Thank you. Thank you so much

Thank you, master-ji

Stop

Take a pinch of the powder with

milk tonight. You'll be fine, trust me

Yes?

Does this house belong

to Shankar Singh?

Yes

My husband and Shankar are friends

Were

Come in

Good you came to meet us

Accidents often happen.

But it hurts

It must be devastating for all of you

and Shankar's wife

Is she here?

- Yes, Meera must be working inside

How does your husband know Shankar?

Amir and Shankar were roommates

in Saudi

Roommates?

Is he the one who...

- Yes. But it wasn't intended

It was an accident

How dare you come here?

Are you here to destroy our village?

- No!

I understand your pain.

- Get out of here

I wish to talk to Shankar's wife.

- B*tch

Watch your tongue!

Look, your anger is justified.

But we can have a decent discussion

I want to meet Meera.

- Not possible

For God's sake, listen to my request.

I want to talk to Meera...

Not a word goes to Meera

What happened?

Say something.

- There must be a way to meet her

If I get to talk to her once,

I'll tell you

We will wait for here over here

and find out her schedules

We? Meaning?

- You and I

You and I

So this is your relative's home.

- That was a small lie.

In your company,

even I'll learn to lie.

You are not learning

anything from me.

No, that's not true.

I have learnt how difficult

a woman's life is from a man's.

But Meera's life is useless.

It's good I was born a man.

Atleast you realise

what a woman suffers.

Is this what you women suffer?

- You haven't seen anything yet.

If our wife dies, we marry again.

But if your husband dies,

you wear colorless clothes...

and spend your entire life

like a prisoner.

You work like servants,

no song, no dance...

and spend your entire life alone,

with no contact with any man.

Even thinking about it scares me.

Now when you are seeing the

world from my viewpoint...

tell me, what have you found out?

She leaves the house once in

a day, to go to the temple.

Help me. For God sake,

you will have to help me!

Sure, but who are you?

I have come from very far.

Okay. Come.

Sit.

Now tell me, why are you upset?

I...

- Meera Didi!

You didn't go to school again?

- Who is she?

Go get water.

- Okay.

Where have you come from?

That is at a very high altitude,

in the North, right?

Yes.

- Meera Didi.

Water.

Take. Go.

If you want to talk in

private, say so.

Okay, I'll leave.

Is your place beautiful?

- Yes, as much as yours.

But different.

The beauty here is unique.

Dry, tough, and as cruel

as the scorching sun.

What have you lost here?

My husband, Amir...

- He left you?

Yes.

- And you think you'll find him here?

If you help me.

You don't take me to be

something else, do you?

Your husband had come here to work?

Then he must have come to work where

they are putting up a new factory.

A lot of laborers have

come from outside.

You want me to talk to Chopraji?

The one who is

putting up the factory.

How do you know he is

staying in our mansion?

They were saying

so in the village.

I did come to your house,

but your family threw me out.

So that was you who

everyone was shouting at?

I thought it was some

beggar woman of the village.

I was begging only.

- Okay, I'll do something.

But Chopraji is not here,

he will return in a few days.

I can wait for some days.

I'd brought water.

What do I do now?

Oh, I forgot!

I'll just be back.

Ila, I was talking. I forgot.

- You always do that.

Always? Ofcourse not.

Khama Gani... now you reply,

Gani Khama.

Is even your husband lost?

- Ila!

You can say that.

Then you also come to tie

a ribbon on this tree.

He will return.

There are many ways to

please the heart.

I want to give you Amir's photo

Will you come here tomorrow?

Without doubt. I get only one

opportunity to leave jail.

Bye.

Let's go... you talk too much.

You should have told her the truth.

- You are talking of truth?

Why do you always taunt me?

It's the first time

I've lost courage in life.

What if she had refused?

What is your intention?

I don't know.

Let's see what happens.

I'll make friends with her,

win her confidence.

Maybe then I'll tell her.

- So my role is over.

You will go out everyday,

do your work.

I'll wait for you at home.

Great! The river

is flowing reverse.

This is absolute injustice.

A woman is deeply

connected to that word.

Why don't you women join

hands and teach men a lesson?

Maybe, one day.

Do give me a warning.

Remember, I'm with you.

I'll remember that.

How are you?

- I'm fine.

I'll be back soon.

Salaam Aleikum.

- Salaam...

In reply say,

Waleikum asalaam.

You go to school?

- Yes.

Which class?

- Fifth.

Get up. Take.

He is Amir.

What is it?

- Even I want to hear.

Maybe I learn something.

If you so wish to learn,

go regularly to school.

Okay, sit and gossip.

Is she your sister?

- No, Shanker found her somewhere.

Found her?

- In the well. She's a girl.

Maybe that's why she was thrown.

Girls are not valued here.

They are more trouble than gain.

A man who works for us

has adopted her.

But if it wasn't for Shanker...

- You miss him a lot?

So much that my heart aches.

Even I miss Amir a lot.

Our memories are not alike.

You still have

hope of meeting Amir.

I should not have said that.
