Witch?

Huh?

Now watch...

Watch carefully what you need to do.

Pick it up from here...

Two in this hand

and two in this one...

Don't waste any of it. Okay.

I've taken care of

more complex businesses.

Can you handle it?

Yes, I can.

Come on then.

Shyamprakash, what's happening?

What are you doing?

Oh no... that's not how it's done.

Work faster.

- Turn this thing off.

- Take two at a time.

- Turn this thing off.

- You can't do a single thing.

Come on... come...

What have you done?

Who died now?

Who turned off the machine?

- Who turned it off?

- You did.

Your machine isn't

working... it's too fast.

Who says it's not working.

That one's too fast.

This one's too slow.

How's that possible?

I'm going to deduct your wages.

- Deduct my wages?

- Yes, I will.

Come, sister-in-law.

One kg of rice.

Weigh it properly.

Are you buying rice or silver?

Do you want me to weigh it in grams?

Take it or leave it. Go.

- What's wrong now?

- Hold on, sister.

I know how to deal with him.

You rascal.

What?

I am talking to you.

- I am being so polite, but you don't seem to get it...

- No-no-no...

What no?

I am going to show him.

You dog, cheat...

Mind your language.

I may be new around here, but I

know how to deal with your kind.

- Are you new here?

- Apologize for what?

She's not from here.

I told you to weigh rice,

just do that...

She's new here, please forgive her.

Close the shutter.

No rations for you.

Open up.

Open up.

- I'll explain to her.

- What's the point now?

- Sister-in-law, let's go...

- Our entire day's wasted now.

What happened? What did I do now?

What have you done, sister-in-law?

You taught me to fight for my right,

and not to be scared of anyone.

He works for the government,

he'll make your life hell.

You didn't even stop to

think before yelling at him.

Fight-don't fight...

Why can't you tell

me everything properly?

Poverty... cannot be taught so easily.

- Hey.

- Yeah...

He's back again.

- Where?

- Mister...

You've exhausted your chances

to go to the bathroom.

Now you can go only after lunch.

- I exhausted my chance.

- Yes.

I exhausted my chance.

You can only go twice... once

before and once after lunch.

What if someone needs

to go for the third time?

Stupid... remember this.

One man needs 1 minutes

to get to the bathroom.

One minute to pee.

One minute to wash his hands,

And 1 minutes to come back.

So how much is that? Five minutes.

- Five minutes?

- Yes.

If 400 employees of the company

spend 5 minutes in the bathroom...

then the company loses 33 hours.

33 hours.

You can deduct whatever

is apt for 5 minutes...

I cannot wait anymore.

Wait...

Hey... stupid.

You didn't have to

fight with the ration guy.

Raj, don't blame me without

knowing the entire story.

Do you know how to spell 'fight'?

I can only spell 'deduct money'.

'Deduct money.'

You didn't give me your wages.

They deducted more

than I earned today.

Shyamprakash gave me

some money from his wages.

He said 'A father should

never go home empty-handed'.

Even Tulsi gave me half her rations.

They know what it feels

like to sleep on an empty stomach.

Yes, exactly.

I wish this inspection

gets over soon... and we go home.

I wonder how long

can we keep up with this lie?

Raj...

I think the rat is back again.

Let this one stay.

"Not before men,

but before the almighty."

"Before every name of the lord."

"Before every devout and atheist."

"Before the omnipresent one."

"Kabir stands proud and poor."

"Kabir stands a renunciate."

"Unafraid of the world,

he speaks the truth."

"What can one steal from him

if his sack is empty?"

"There's a lot of power in poverty."

"The joy of singing the lord's name."

"The joy of singing the lord's name."

"The joy of singing the lord's name."

"Wealth cannot bring us such joy."

"Wealth cannot bring us such joy."

"The heart rejoices in poverty."

Glory to Goddess!

Glory to Goddess!

Glory to Goddess!

Thank you.

You don't take sugar

in your tea, right?

Of course, I do.

I don't have any sugar problem.

But we do... have a sugar problem.

We've run out of rations.

Water's fine.

Okay.

So mister... working

hard at the factory?

Just trying to fit in.

Look at his hands now.

- See the difference.

- Yes... I can see the difference.

He can break a brick with a punch now.

You were right.

I was unnecessarily doubting such nice

people.

- You'll get it.

- We will.

We'll get the admission?

Thank you... thank you.

- Congratulations, sister-in-law.

- Thank you, mister.

Amazing.

This is nice...

All you need to do is deposit

24000 rupees in the school.

- We'll do it.

- What?

24,000?

- 24,000?

- 24,000?

But we applied through RTE.

So our children's

admission should be free.

So who said anything about fees?

- The fee is waived off.

- Then?

This is for

extra-curricular activities.

Extra...

- Extra, what?

- Extracurricular activities.

Like we take the children

to the park for a picnic...

or dress them up like

animals and perform on stage.

And more... Annual Function.

All they do is extra-curricular

activities all day.

We're sending our children

there to study, not to sing and dance.

It's called personality development.

Where do we get 24,000...

We'll take a loan,

or borrow it from someone.

- You do?

- We do-we do.

- Are you sure?

- Don't worry.

But... what about him?

We'll manage...

Raj will manage.

I'll take a loan...

You don't even have a fixed job.

What are you saying, brother Shyam?

I am right, sister-in-law. Ask him.

Fine then, enroll her in

some government school.

No-no-no...

Pia will do everything

that the other kids do, Raj.

But how, sister-in-law?

You must arrange for the money too.

I'll manage.

H... how?

Will you rob a bank?

So what's your final decision?

Can you... or not?

Raj will do it.

Say it, Raj.

We'll do it.

Hey... what are you doing?

I'm arranging the money...

Stealing from the machine.

Have you lost your mind?

You're stealing.

Look there... The police are watching,

along with the bank guys.

- No one's watching.

- Let's go.

- I need money for the kids.

- Come on.

- Stop arguing.

- I need the money...

And you're stealing for it.

Money... it's here...

The money's out.

- It'll stay there.

- We don't want it.

- Stealing...

- Leave me.

What? What?

I was doing it for my kid.

I know. But you shouldn't steal.

Listen... go home and sleep.

I'll go make some arrangements.

Not that again.

You're not in the right mind.

I can't leave you alone.

You don't get it.

- Try to understand...

- Fine, listen.

I'll go pee, you just wait here.

Don't move.

I'll be right back.

Shyamprakash. Shyamprakash.

Hey... hey...

Don't you look where you're going?

He came out of nowhere

in front of my car.

- What are you doing mister?

- Why would we come in front of your car.

Listen to me, brother.

Look what you've done. Look at him.

Park your car on the side.
