Lootera

You need to be a little careful.

The law will be

enforced any day now...

l am not selling my property,

Majumdar

Then form a Trust.

Even that takes time.

All the other landlords are doing it.

Pakhi...

Pakhi...

Pakhi...

Where were you lost?

How long have you been up?

l have been up for ten minutes,

but you were staring into space,

moving the fan like a statue.

How are you feeling now?

l am feeling fine, thank you.

Did it hurt?

Did l ever tell you

the Bheel Raja story?

No

A long time ago, there lived the...

mighty Raja of the Bheel tribe.

Very powerful.

No one could ever harm him.

Everyone was afraid of him.

The English made many

attempts on his life.

They cut him with swords,

they slit him with a thousand arrows,

but he just wouldn't die.

Then they heard that the Raja...

confined his 'life' in a parrot.

But there were a thousand

parrots in the forest.

Which one would it be?

Then they sent a spy.

A beautiful one.

The Raja fell in love with her.

Married her.

One fine day she found 'the' parrot.

She got hold of it and...

Then?

Then he died.

Pakhi, you are my that parrot.

lf anything happens to you...

You know,

finally Manikpur has electricity.

l see. And how long

is it going to stay?

What?

Stick to the left side.

Slowly.

We don't want to have an accident.

lf we get into an accident

then you were driving.

lf not then l was driving.

Watch out!

Watch out.

Pakhi.

You will get me fired.

Watch out

Watch out

That motor...

What are you doing?

Shh...

Doctor Uncle

Pakhi, you can go home.

He's alright. He'll be okay.

Ok

Move.

Why?

You almost killed

the poor motorcyclist.

You don't know how to drive.

Me?

Then who? Me?

Come.

''The springs came and went.''

''But l didn't experience

a single one.''

''My heart was drenched this time.''

''l wonder what you did?''

What's wrong?

The filament got damaged.

Filament?

The thing that lights up.

lsn't that electricity?

The electricity lights the filament,

the filament lights up the bulb.

Oh, yes. l knew that.

So whatever it is,

lnstall it everywhere.

And give the bills to Majumdar.

You aren't being serious.

lf the Zamindari

Abolishment Act is passed..

..you will be left with nothing.

The Act won't be passed, Majumdar.

lt will.

There aren't any landlords

in government who will support you.

Why do our fathers keep arguing?

My father feels that Zamindar

uncle doesn't understand him

and Zamindar uncle feels

that my father keeps yakking.

l see. Yakking?

Yes?

My name is Varun Srivastava

Where have you come from?

You stay here.

Babu, someone has come from Delhi.

From where?

Some 'English' place.

He is an archeologist.

Wants to excavate our temple site

He thinks there is an ancient

civilization buried underneath.

So?

He's coming home for dinner tonight

Ask him yourself.

Varun Shrivastava.

Yes?

Don't look back

The driver who drove into you,

his name is Babu Singh.

Ok.

And what is your name?

Don't try to be smart,

because you are not.

Ok.

Which one are you?

Mr. Srivastava

Yes?

You are very punctual

This is my daughter, Pakhi

And Pakhi, he is that

gentleman l told you about.

Hello.

Hello.

She wants to be a writer

She's not bad.

She has written her

name on all my books.

Baba, l am good.

l am sure

So, Archaeologists.

l always thought they were old men.

Busy amidst the cobwebs

of archaic buildings.

l guess that's why the

name starts with 'Archaic'

Of course.

Where are you staying?

At the Circuit House.

Nearby the temple.

What happened to your head?

My motorcycle had

an accident with a car.

ln Manekpur?

Yes.

Who was driving?

l was driving.

lf you drive both of

them at the same time...

l was driving the motorcycle.

Of course.

Coffee?

Yes

And some bad amateur

was driving the car.

Couldn't spot a motorcycle

on such a wide road

l don't think these amateurs

should be allowed...

Sorry. l'll get some cold water.

Sorry about that

Even the villagers here are

quite used to her driving lessons.

But...

For days together,

the kitchen remained silent

For days together,

the blind dog slept hungry

For days together the

lizards crawled on the walls.

For days together, even

the rats were brought to the brink

Food came home, after days together

Smoke filled the courtyard

after days together

Rooms sparkled again,

after days together

The crow spread his wings,

after days together

Baba Nagarjuna.

Real name Vaidyanath Mishra

Lives in Darbhanga,

my native village.

Where did you say, you are staying?

l'm impressed, Varun Babu.

This mansion instead

of that guest house.

Are you understanding anything,

Debdas Mukherjee?

l can understand everything.

My parents talk exactly like this.

Learn Bengali

You'll have to learn one day

Have you seen Baazi?

No

You should watch it.

Now that's what you call a movie.

Dev Anand plays a gambler.

And a moment comes

when he has to choose.

a hell lot of money

or his sister's life.

Or he has to quit everything,

for his love.

He's an amazing actor.

And an even better fighter.

You want to see how he fights?

Like this, while swaying...

No matter how many goons attack him

they will not spoil his hairstyle.

''Why are you scared of the world?''

This temple's 500 years old.

Nobody is allowed to build

or demolish anything here.

This famous Radha-Krishna..

..idol is the legacy

of my Roy Chouhdry ancestry.

lt's at least three

hundred years old.

This...

This is where we start excavating.

And we can put up the camp here.

We would need some labourers.

Definitely

So this is where we dig

Do what?

Digging

Good

Now, do you guys know how to dig?

Sir.

What have we got all this for?

Very good

But why are we going to dig?

Well...because this is land and...

''Try your luck.''

Pull more.

Go further back

''So what if the oars

of your boat are broken.''

''Use your arms as the oars.''

''Use your arms as the oars.''

''lf you trust yourself,

try your luck.''

''Try your luck.''

''Take a chance and mend your fate.''

''lf you trust yourself,

try your luck.''

''Try your luck.''

My stomach is growling.

No one eats before

the first fish is caught.

Tradition, you see.

Of course. - Of course.

Varun Babu.

You are looking in the

wrong direction, Varun babu.

Are you mad?

l was just looking.

How was l looking?

lt's that 'look'

Things happen.

Nothing happens
