I heard, he committed suicide in prison.

There's more.

One of the teachers in my school

was a writer.

I don't know what he used to write either.

But one day, people beat him to death.

Do you know any writer who is still alive?

You don't seem to have

any respect for writers.

No, sir. I am an artist myself.

Really?

- I can sing a little.

When I was little, I sang Manak's song

at the school function.

One person came ahead and said

that I sang very well.

And that I should get a reward.

He came ahead, he put his hand

in his pocket and it was empty.

Later I came to know..

- What?

That he was a writer.

Stop here.

Your rickshaw might be slow,

but you are quite fast.

How much do I owe you?

- Let it be.

If your movie does well

I'll get a chance to boast

that I gave you a free ride.

Really?

If you act so generous

then you will die of starvation.

If I die of starvation,

then consider that I was a writer.

Bye.

Hello?

Hello?

Yes, darling?

It got disconnected.

Let me tell you,

one day, I will kill your boss.

What?

I will use my pen. How else?

Listen..

Hello!

You really want to get her married?

She is still not of the age.

But her behavior is such.

Today, she went to a mall with that boy.

Tomorrow she will go to a hill station.

And the day after that..

Is this why I am slogging in Dubai?

So that she has affairs with boys

behind our back?

What kind of a mother are you?

Can't you look after your only daughter?

So what if she went to a mall one day?

Our daughter isn't that bad.

We made her quit college

and now, she's giving private exams.

But think twice

before getting her married.

I suggest..

You don't say anything.

Do as I have said.

Find a suitable match and get rid of her.

I have decided.

What if she doesn't agree?

You know how stubborn I can be.

Toti.

- Yes, boss?

Give me the spanner.

Here.

Give me the smaller one.

I am not trying to dismantle a train.

Give me the smaller one.

Hello!

I have told you so many times not to

park the scooter in front of the shop.

Should I throw it away?

Sir, why are you so stressed all the time?

You are not going to take these shops

with you after you're dead.

Whether or not I take them along..

But I won't let them be with you.

Calm down.

Toti.

- Yes, boss?

Go and get a cold drink for him.

Clean a chair and bring it here.

After all, he is the owner of the shop.

If you understand that,

then you should understand this as well.

A tenant should behave like a tenant.

I took pity on you

and gave my shop on rent.

You aren't vacating that

but trying to occupy it instead.

You have given me the shop on rent

for the money I offered.

Who takes pity on anyone these days?

My preacher says,

nothing here belongs to you or me.

To heck with your preacher.

I will make you vacate the shop

at any cost.

Really? In that case,

try getting it vacated.

You have been going to the court

for three years now.

Your case hasn't even had a hearing yet.

He thinks he can get me

to vacate this place!

Wait! I will teach you a lesson.

- No, boss.

I will teach you a lesson.

- No, boss.

Bhola, I don't think this Gill himself

will be going back to Dubai

let alone taking you along.

Give me a cup of nice, strong tea.

Right away.

Strong tea is unhealthy, son.

If nothing else, then open a tea stall.

It is a good business.

Keep reusing four-day-old tea leaves

in boiling water and serve.

Whatever it may be, son..

Driving a rickshaw is beneath you.

It hurts me to see you do it.

Dad, why do you make me emotional

by talking about the rickshaw?

Do you think I like doing this?

The rising prices of diesel and manure

made you mortgage your land.

Even my graduation certificate

was of no use.

Once I go to Dubai

I will have your land released

from the mortgage.

We will then go back to farming.

Okay, son. As you wish.

But Gill won't take you to Dubai.

I can give it to you in writing.

- Let him not.

I will go with someone else.

But I will go to Dubai for sure.

Whose rickshaw is this?

It belongs to me.

Let's go then.

- Get in.

I will have tea first.

Excuse me..

I forgot a bag in a rickshaw.

I don't know the vehicle number

or the driver's name.

My bag is black in color.

The driver was wearing a checked shirt.

He was driving a black rickshaw.

Sir, all the rickshaws here

are black in color.

Have you ever seen a blue one?

Hello?

- Bhola, where are you?

I was just dropping a passenger.

What is it?

My tenant from the scooter repair shop

is troubling me.

We have to do something about him.

Don't worry.

We will get together in the evening.

We will find a solution for him.

We will also take Jassa and Darshan along.

Just tell me what you would like to drink.

Bring whatever you want.

But we have to do something about Thami.

We will surely do something.

Don't worry at all.

See you in the evening.

Hello, master.

You're not even greeting me.

Why should I?

You don't forget to greet me

but you forgot

to pay me three months' rent

that you owe me.

Three months are not completed as yet.

Three months are not completed as yet..

But there are only

four days left for that.

Then I will see if you pay up immediately.

I have noticed that you love flowers.

You nurture them

like they are your own kids.

With a pension,

you can only nurture flowers.

I have stopped getting rent.

How will I nurture children?

Your behavior is very insulting.

After all, I too am a writer.

And I am retired.

Settle my dues for the past three months

on the first.

Otherwise, find yourself

a community home to live in.

What do you mean?

I have heard they have made

very good sheds at the railway stations.

You can check those out.

Hello, darling.

Are you still in the office?

Where will you go with all that money?

You should rest sometimes.

No, I just called to tell you that

I am going to Mumbai for some project.

No, I didn't call for money.

Why are you embarrassing me?

I just called to share this news with you.

I wanted to ask whether

we can meet tomorrow or the day after.

Great.

If you have money to spare, then get it.

But I will give it back.

I won't keep it.

Okay?

Thank you.

Dharam..

- Yes.

Park the car at home and come back

in the morning on time.

If my wife asks about me, tell her

I have gone to collect the money.

Okay.

- Bye.

He tells me I should do

whatever I want to.

Now tell me.

It is my shop

he is my tenant

and he is showing attitude to me!

I took pity on him and gave him the shop

considering that he is a mechanic

and he will manage to make a living.

But he doesn't recognize my goodness.

This is the time when strictness dominates

and not goodness.

Scholars say, Do good

and get beaten up with shoes.

Hit him with your shoes,

and he will vacate the shop in no time.

Stop your nonsense.

You will beat him up and leave the city

while he will be left behind

as the accused.

Master, you are always a coward.
