Karan Arjun

Faith which makes

the impossible happen.

Faith that renders

the impossible possible.

This is one such story

bound by the chords of faith.

Here is Rs.10... Hey!

Where are you going?

Give me the extortion money

or I'll have you sacked!

Keep some money or you

will lose your job.

Put it in there.

Karan Singh and Arjun Singh,

put my extortion money.

- Don't cut our money today.

- What is so special today?

- That is a secret.

- What secret?

- We'll tell you later.

- Don't cut Rs.2.

Keep the entire

day's wage tomorrow.

Is that so? I trust you

because you are Durga's sons.

But don't go back on

your word tomorrow.

Rs.20 for me tomorrow!

Father, it is Sunday tomorrow.

It is a holiday.

Good-bye!

Have you sprung from

the skies, buddy?

Never mind that. Just tell me

how much the bangles are worth.

Why must you buy bangles?

Don't bother about that. Just tell

us how much the bangles cost.

- Show me that.

- No. This green one.

- These red bangles.

- These golden ones.

- These colorful ones.

- They're indeed beautiful.

- I win, right Mom?

- No! I've won!

You win or lose in

a contest, my sons.

And it's only

enemies who compete.

- I touched your feet first.

- No! I did!

- I did...!

- Stop it.

You're still racing

against each other!

Neither are you ahead...

nor are you trailing.

But my sons are ahead

of everyone else!

- We've got something for you.

- What is it?

- First shut your eyes.

- What for?

- Close your eyes! Go on!

- All right.

Open your eyes now.

You will wear bangles now,

like other women in the village.

We just can't bear to see

your hands so bare.

Extend your hand, mom.

Come on, mom.

No! I can't wear those bangles.

Why not?

I can't wear bangles

at my age, silly boys.

I understand, mom!

She'll wear the bangles only

when Dad returns from the city.

- That's true, isn't it?

- It's so many years already.

He would've returned,

had he wished to.

- He has forgotten us!

- There's no word from him at all.

And you're always waiting for him!

Let's go and return

the bangles. Come on.

No... wait!

Give me those bangles...

give them to me.

I will give these

bangles to your wives.

- But they were meant to...

- Go and bathe quickly.

We've got to visit

the temple.

- Greetings, madam.

- The accountant? You?

I've managed to reach here

with great difficulty.

Had someone seen me come here,

my life would be in danger.

But what brings you here

so late in the night?

The elder Thakur has

summoned you to the mansion.

Which mansion?

The one that shut the doors

on our good-fortune?

The mansion, whose wounds are

still raw in the heart?

Go away. I will never step

inside that mansion.

Fulfilling a dying

man's last desire...

...is considered to be

the greatest of noble deeds.

What? Is the landlord...?

Yes. The landlord is

breathing his last.

His last wish is to see you.

But so long as the cursed Durjan

Singh casts his shadow there...

How can I go there?

Tomorrow's the festival

of Goddess Kali.

Durjan, with his brothers-in-law,

Nahar and Shamsher Singh...

...will be at the temple with

their families.

I will wait for you

outside the mansion.

- Please be there.

- Very well.

- Who was that man?

- And who's the old landlord?

I have kept a secret

from you for many years.

How was I to know that time

would one day stoke its fires?

It's the story of my life...

...which I have always

kept a secret from you.

But I will have to tell

you the truth today.

I will tell you everything.

The old landlord is

your grandfather.

- What?!

- Our grandfather? The landlord?!

Yes. I am his daughter-in-law.

I was a poor woman.

And your father married me.

But the landlord was instigated

by Durjan Singh, his nephew...

...and he refused to accept

me as his daughter-in-law.

I was driven out of the mansion.

Your father found a job in

a school in the village.

We were happy in our own world,

despite our poverty.

And your arrival brought more

joy and happiness in our lives.

But our happiness

soon turned to grief.

Durjan Singh dreamt of

inheriting the family riches.

And one night, out of

sheer treachery...

Durjan Singh killed your father!

What?! Was father...

You mean you have always...?

Yes. To keep this tale

a secret, I concocted a story.

I didn't want you to feel orphaned.

How was I to know that someday my

past would come knocking on my door?

That I'd have to go to the

mansion which I have always loathed!

No. We will not go to the mansion

that has snatched our father!

Yes. We won't as much as

step in the place...

...that has plunged you

in poverty and despair.

I know how the fires

of hatred are stoked...

...when one is reminded of the

humiliation he has undergone.

But I have always imparted to you

lessons in love and compassion.

Not hatred.

Hatred can only make man

and society, drift apart.

Hatred is the devil's shadow, my sons.

It's the devil's shadow!

Glory to Goddess Kali!

Welcome, madam...

The landlord has been speaking

about you since morning.

He's longing to see

Karan and Arjun.

Please come in.

Welcome, daughter-in-law.

Please don't touch me...

I am a sinner!

No, father. That which happened

was part of our destiny.

No. It was my arrogance that

had eclipsed your destiny.

I thrust my own blood in

the fires of misfortune.

I should be severely punished.

A terrible death that no sinner

would have suffered so far!

Don't say that.

The ointment of time heals

every wound inflicted by life.

Before I die, just once...

Won't you give me

the right to hug them?

Right? Our lives are for you.

Karan and Arjun are your children.

Go my children.

My children!

I'm truly unfortunate.

I couldn't play with you.

I'm returning the right I had

snatched away from you.

Now you are the

mistress of this mansion.

And your sons are its' heirs.

Take this.

The body becomes useless in old age.

But you have ruined your life!

You poisoned my life!

Go away from here!

I didn't come to this

mansion to go away!

Every brick of this house is mine!

I served you all your life!

You tried to kill me every moment!

But I didn't die.

Because I had a debt to pay,

to give these kids their rights!

I won't give these beggars one penny!

Instead I'll give you and

this family of yours, death!

No! I bind you by oath.

We don't want anything!

You may take everything.

We want nothing at all!

What are you saying?

You called me your daughter-in-law

and held my sons close to your heart.

We have got all the

wealth in the world.

We want nothing else.

Come on children.

Brother-in-law, you left

these two snakes alive?

Snakes can raise their fangs anytime.

They are the young ones

of a snake not snakes.

They haven't yet cut

their poison fangs.

Their father was the snake.

The sons will die at my hands

just as their father did!

What? You killed my son?

Yes. I did.

And his children too

will die at my hands.

- This can't happen!

- This will happen!
