Karan Arjun Page #5

- By the mother.

- Which mother?

- Whose mother?

- Your mother.

My mother?

My Arjun has come!

Arjun has come! My son has come!

Mother!

Where had you gone, leaving me alone?

Where had you gone my son?

I have shed a lot of

tears in your sorrow.

There is no place or path

in this village...

...Where I didn't look for you.

Had you gone very far?

...That it took so long to return?

Speak up my son.

I have grown old.

My eyes have grown weak.

But my heart didn't grow weak.

I was sure you would come.

You will definitely come to

repay the debt of maternal love.

The Goddess Mother heard my prayers.

And you have come!

My son!

No, my son. Don't cry.

I've cried enough for all of us.

You don't cry.

You didn't bring Karan?

When will he come?

If Arjun has come,

Karan too will come mother.

Don't cry. I've only

been sentenced for 6 months.

When I get out of jail, I'll sort

out each member of Saxena's family!

Where have they taken him?

The other day you asked who I was.

Today I bring not only mine

but also your introduction.

You are Karan. And I'm Arjun.

We have been reborn.

And our mother is still

waiting for us to return.

The sun gets tired and sets.

But the mother's eyes keep

looking out for her sons.

She keeps awake.

Why has a crowd gathered?

Has somebody fallen off his horse?

Let me see.

Finished! The Thakur has had it!

He is finished!

Whom shall I give this

good news to? Got it!

We taste liquor daily. Shall we

taste some village belle?

Yes, Nahar. It has been weeks.

We have neither hunted

animals nor women.

The hunting will

start now, gentlemen.

You are heading towards a

cemetery, wearing slippers!

And I am just watching!

Hey! What are you barking?

I bark. I am a dog.

But you are goats.

You will be slaughtered.

The landlord is damned!

What is it?

The drama will take place.

Both of them have returned.

The landlord is damned!

- Who?

- The same.

- Karan and Arjun.

- Who are they?

The ones who were killed

by us years ago?

- The same Karan and Arjun?

- Yes!

- Corpses don't come alive.

- They have.

A miracle has happened.

I would advice you to pack

up and go on a pilgrimage.

My heart beats fast!

The landlord is damned!

- I wonder if he is...

- Yes, Nahar.

If there is truth in what he says...

Then we have to get to its roots.

Let's see, how the old lady's

broken stick got joined again.

Who are Karan and Arjun?

Look at these boulders.

We used to work here.

What's the matter?

Why are you quiet?

You were quiet when you met mother

even in front of the villagers.

And you're still quiet.

- This can't be true.

- Can't be true? What?

I don't believe in

this story of rebirth.

It's all trash.

Trash? All these villagers

look at you and say Karan!

Is that trash?

A mother's heart held you close

and called you her son.

Is that trash?

Couldn't you see the love

behind the mother's tears?

Is that mother lying?

Is her love treachery?

Is her wait for years a pretense?

But it's possible that

I'm born with her son's looks.

If that is true why did your

hands stop beating me at the party?

Why did you say, 'Run Arjun! Run! '?

Because my name was

Arjun in my last birth.

And you were Karan.

We were her sons.

And terrible injustice

has been done to her!

We were both killed.

And we have been reborn.

Don't you recall anything even now?

No I don't recall anything.

Brother! Shamsher and Nahar

Singh are troubling your mother!

I heard that God has sent you the

support which you need for old age?

Where are they?

Where are your children? Answer!

Answer, old woman!

Where are your Karan and Arjun?

Answer!

Old woman! Will you answer or not?

The son of this helpless mother

has come to wipe her tears!

Son?

The same son that we killed years ago?

He is a look-alike of

this old hag's son.

I think he's a cheat from the city.

You probably didn't hear the

story of the death of her sons.

If you had heard, you wouldn't

dare to step in this village!

But now that he is here,

let us finish him too!

I'm coming!

Hit them son! Let them know

my sons have returned!

Fools! You have become

crazy in a state of inebriety.

You have gone into

a world of illusions!

You say, that Karan

and Arjun thrashed you!

The same Karan and Arjun

who have gone to hell?

Our eyes cannot deceive us.

We saw their faces!

How can we forget their faces?

Yes. You can't forget, when

someone thrashes you so badly!

Whom are you discussing?

Who are Karan and Arjun?

The ones whom I had

killed years ago, Saxena.

They say that they

have returned alive.

...and hit them!

How can it be? Lmpossible!

That's what I'm saying.

You always rebuke my brothers.

You don't believe them at all.

- Shut up!

- Ask him if you disbelieve us.

Why ask me?

If he does not believe you,

then how will he believe me?

All right. Ask the villagers.

Villagers, I ask you who they are.

Where are they?

Who dares to oppose me

and awaits his death?

Whom are you talking of, Sir?

They do not know! I am talking

of those two who hit my uncles.

Who would dare to even

lift a finger at them?

Hey, old man!

Why don't you say that Karan

and Arjun hit us like dogs?

You make us liars

before brother-in-law?

Why don't you say, old man,

that Karan and Arjun hit us?

Where is the old woman, Durga?

Durga is a mad woman;

she wanders across villages.

We have not seen her in months.

Then where did you see her?

May you die!

May a garland adorn your picture!

May you lose your lives!

I have seen them myself.

They had embraced

Durga near the hills.

Sir, Karan and Arjun

have come to this village.

You are not aware. Today,

they pose a problem to everyone.

Tomorrow, they may pose

a problem to you...

There they are!

Nobody is there.

Hey! Are you trying to frighten us?

No, no... I saw them myself...

I saw Karan and Arjun.

Ask your brothers-in-law

if you don't believe me.

- Didn't you see them on top?

- No.

- You saw?

- No!

You will have me killed! You

sometimes agree and sometimes deny.

You will have me slapped!

Isn't this a brinjal?

Isn't this a carrot?

Isn't this a radish?

If I can call a carrot and

a radish by their names...

Then how can I do otherwise,

for Karan and Arjun?

They were indeed Karan and Arjun.

Why are looking around? I said

they were Karan and Arjun.

Who is talking?

I am talking, rascal. I am!

But why is the voice

coming from inside?

Fool! The voice is coming, not

from inside, but from beneath you.

From beneath me? My voice

comes from the top...

I am dead! Where did

the earthquake come from?

From Latur!

Who are you?

You frightened me.

I'm the one who frightens and

unveils the truth. Your villager.

But I have... never

seen you in the village.

You call a brinjal, a carrot

and a carrot, a radish!

Lmplying, there is some

mistake in my eyes?

No. Your head says, you saw;

your eyes say otherwise.

Yes. That's what is

happening with me.

Listen to what your eyes say.
