Elephant, cat, horse, monkey.

- Like it?

- Very much.

You will have to

read all those books.

Yes!

What is this?

Come on.

- It's 'A'.

- It's your head.

This is not 'A',

it's 'D'. This is 'A'.

Not English, teach me Hindi.

Come on, now you read.

You don't love me.

I love you very much, Madhuri.

- 'O' for owl.

- 'O' for owl.

The owl speaks.

- 'R' for rabbit.

- 'R' for rabbit.

- The rabbit runs.

- The rabbit runs.

- 'F' for food.

- 'F' for food.

- The food is cooked.

- The food is cooked.

The food must be ready.

- I'll go and check.

- Sit down and study.

It's tame for your dinner

and I am still sitting here.

- Not tame, time.

- But Chhotu says tame.

Chhotu is a servant, illiterate.

You are the lady of the house.

Alright, time. Let me go, it

is so late, and I'm hungry too.

- What?

- Read again.

- Read?

- Yes, read again.

When your pronunciation is

wrong, what will you teach me?

Alright.

That is what I said.

No madam, read like I do.

Not sily, sly.

- What is God?

- God means, Bhugwan.

Bhugwan?

No, it's Bhagwan.

Alright, Bhugwan.

God, I'm scared!

Rohini is no good.

I don't like her.

- Who?

- Rohini.

The lady of

Kishankant's Bill.

It's not Kishankant,

it's Krishnakant.

And not Bill, it's Will.

Alright. And that Gobindlal

has left his wife, Bhimar...

...and got involved

with that witch.

It's not Gobindlal,

it's Govindlal.

And it's not Bhimar,

it's Bhramar.

Alright,

but atleast let me finish.

And even that b*tch met

the same fate.

Gobindlal killed her.

She deserved it, the b*tch!

What happened?

Where are you going?

Not like that,

sing like this.

I cannot sing.

I cannot learn to sing.

Then what can you do? Sleep and

munch 'paan' all day like a cow?

- You are angry.

- No, I am not angry.

Come, I'll sit with you.

Enough! Stop it!

- Who is it?

- It's me master, Chhotu.

I just came.

Go and greet him. Go.

Don't feel shy,

master is like our father.

Greet him.

- Who is she?

- She's Myna.

- Myna?

- My wife.

But you said

she is five years old.

That was ten years ago. She was

five years old, ten years ago.

Ten years.

Ten years!

Ten years.

Ten... years.

Ten years... Ten years!

...Ten years!

On the melody of

lonely breaths

On the wet

strings of tears

Life is hearing a song

Life is singing a song

What is called love

Is a game, is a toy

You get it today,

you lose it tomorrow

On lonely...

On the melody of lonely breaths

On the wet strings of tears

Life is joining in a note

Life is forgetting a note

On the melody...

Some buds sing

Some buds cry

Some tears are just water,

some tears are pearls

On the melody

of lonely breaths

On the wet strings of tears

Life is making someone laugh

Life is making someone cry

- What's there to laugh in this?

- What else can I do?

You should have

atleast seen your face.

What's wrong with my face?

Your hair is greying.

Have you noticed?

I know.

But why this sudden

desire to get married?

And just the desire won't

help you get married.

Who will give you a girl?

And which girl will

agree to marry you?

Is that so?

But you don't have

any objection, do you?

Not at all.

But tell me something.

Why did you suddenly think of

getting married at this age?

Who doesn't want a normal life?

Besides, I also have some

duty towards my family.

I gathered information, master.

The girl's name is Sumita.

- Who is in her family.

- A mother and father.

Mother and father.

It's morning and Sumita hasn't

returned from the function yet.

God knows what

this girl is up to.

Listen. Get up and

make me a cup of tea.

My temperature

hasn't subsided yet.

- Not yet?

- No.

You are sick all

How do I go out

without having tea?

We are out of tea leaves.

- No tea leaves?

- Yes.

Why are there no tea leaves?

You squander away my money.

Squander money?

As if you make millions.

Whatever little you make, you

blow away on liquor and races.

I'll spend as I wish!

Do you know, last week's reward

has got carried over this week.

You understand? You

will, only if you have brains.

This week,

the reward will be Rs.60000.

And when I bring that

Rs.60000 home...

...it will surprise you.

That's what I have been

hearing all my life.

How can I be lucky when

I have a wife like you?

Damn!

You ruined my morning.

And don't you dare spend a penny

from the money Sumita brings.

Or we'll have a war at home.

You're back.

Where were you for so long?

The function went on until late,

so I stayed over at Ratna's.

You did the right thing.

Give me the money.

Here's Rs.50.

But they promised to pay

Rs.100. So why Rs.50 only?

They said they will

give the balance later.

They said they will pay later?

Trying to fool me?

Here's Rs.10.

Buy a packet of tea leaves.

And buy vegetables and

anything else you want to.

I will not come for lunch.

And tell those people if they

don't pay the balance money...

...I sue them.

Move!

Listen... I am calling you.

- Me?

- Yes.

Me? Mr. Aga,

don't you sleep at night?

- You want interest early

in the morning? - What?

I mean that I owe you

interest amount of Rs.12.50.

I can pay you the interest.

But last week's reward of

Rs.25000...

...got carried forward this

week, and has become Rs.60000.

Today is Saturday.

I will play today and return

your every penny tomorrow.

But this is not done.

I am going to play the races...

...and you have come to

collect your money early morning.

What are you talking about?

I don't understand.

- I am not Aga.

- You are not Aga?

No, my name is Hira Singh.

Are you Sumita's father?

Why didn't you tell me before?

No, actually, I am...

- Then let's go.

- Where?

My master has sent his greetings.

I don't know your master.

Why has he sent me greetings?

My master is Kumar Bahadur

Gyanshanker Rai of Rainagar.

Alright, let's go.

No, wait.

Does your master play races? Then

ask him to bet on Star of Italy.

I'm giving him a tip.

He doesn't want any tips.

He has urgent work with you.

Urgent work?

Here mother, take your medicine.

This sickness is

going to take my life.

Don't talk like that.

I am only worried about your

marriage now.

Then I'll die peacefully.

Don't worry, mother.

What is destined will happen.

- Here's Rs.50.

- How did you save so much?

I told father

I'll get Rs.50 later.

What if he comes to know?

We'll deal with it then.

- How are you feeling now, Manju?

- Come, sister.

- The temperature is still high.

- I've sent for the doctor.

Vishnu is bringing

milk and porridge for you.

What has Shekhar written?

London, dated 22nd.

Aunt, greetings.

- Is it Shekhar's letter?

- Yes, mother.

That is why I came. And

she snatched the letter from me.

He sends you his

greetings, mother.

God bless him.

When is he coming?

He's written he'll go to buy his

ticket after posting this letter.

Alright, leave us alone,

I want to talk to your mother.

Shekhar is coming in a few days.

So I thought I'll
