Follow that car.

Come on.

Come.

Help us take him out of the car.

Please help me.

Help him.

Careful.

Take him into emergency

and call the blood bank, okay.

What is your blood group?

'O' positive.

Does it hurt?

No, not at all.

The patient needs blood urgently.

Your blood group is 'O'

positive universal donor.

You can donate to anyone.

Please take my blood.

Don't worry. Taking 350 ml

is not going to affect you at all.

No problem, no problem.

Take as much as you want.

You are saving a life.

Mom! Dad!

Uncle, you're up?

I'm Dr. Anjali

Would you like some water?

How are you feeling now?

Did you sleep well?

Take a deep breath.

Do you have any pain?

You're feeling better right?

Good.

Uncle, do you know

how I found you today?

It was as if you called

out to me for help.

I was buying something

by the road, Uncle.

Suddenly,

I felt like someone called out to me.

I came running there to find you

injured, calling out for your mother.

Mother.

That was when he came there, Uncle.

It was as if he came

there just to help you.

As though he was there

just to bring us to the hospital.

He even gave blood for you Uncle.

I feel as if everything magically

came together for you, Uncle.

In all that confusion,

I forgot to ask him his name.

Food for you, Uncle.

Don't get up, I will feed you.

Open your mouth.

I don't know if I am unlucky

to have lost you at the age of 8...

...or whether I am lucky to

have met you again at the age of 80.

They say that when parents give life,

children are born.

To give me life again today,

if my parents are reborn...

...then I am the luckiest

person in the world.

I have heard this story a

thousand times from my grandmother...

...as she put me to bed.

My parents love story.

My grandfathers name is Bangaru Naidu.

In those days,

he was a very wealthy man.

All the rice mills in

our town belonged to him.

My father was the only

heir to my grandparents.

His name was Sitaram.

My grandfather,

being a man of Gandhian principles...

...wanted my father to become a lawyer.

My father was one of the few fortunate

Indians to be educated in London.

When in London,

my father developed a craze for cars.

When my grandfather

unexpectedly passed away...

...father had to

discontinue his studies...

...and come back home

to take care of his business.

Father left London behind,

but not his craze for cars.

This is the model which

the Maharaja of Mysore has.

If you approve, I can have it

at your doorstep by tomorrow evening.

Can you marry these cars

or have children with them?

I've told you a thousand times, Mom.

I don't want to get married.

Show me the picture.

Did you hear what he said, Sharma?

Let me take care of it. I will make

him fall in love today. Have a look.

Is that your plan?

I will show him some pictures too.

Sir, how is this model.

Look, look at this girl.

She is beautiful.

- Mother, please, no.

Sir, look at this car.

Give me another photo.

Please take a look at this.

- This car...

Have a look at this girl.

Pretty, isn't she?

- Mother, no.

This car is very good.

Mother, look at this girl.

Pretty, isn't she?

Who is this girl?

There's been a small mistake.

This proposal will not match

your standards. They are very poor.

Apart from her grandmother...

...this girl has nobody,

nor does she come from wealth.

Mother, what do we need?

We need a wonderful girl to come

into our home. And that is this girl.

But her family...

After marriage, her family will be mine.

She will be my mothers daughter-in-law.

You talk of her wealth.

Our wealth is hers.

Do you realize what her status

will be once she marries me, Sharma?

What are you waiting for?

My Sitaram likes this girl.

Before someone else looks at her,

go and fix the match as soon as you can.

I will do it at once.

Sharma, give me that photo please.

Here.

I want this car.

Sure, Sir.

I don't understand this, Sharma.

After rejecting so many girls,

I finally accepted one.

When we approached the family,

they put some conditions.

We agreed to all of them.

Now what is this new demand asking

for 6 months time before the wedding?

What is the reason?

I don't think this is a demand, Sir.

It seems more like a request.

Its only 6 months they are asking.

Time will fly.

What are you saying, Mother?

These demands are irrelevant.

I want to marry her.

The car has arrived.

Fantastic.

Here you go. Your cheetah awaits.

Thank you.

My pleasure.

The car is here.

Now we need her to come.

The issue is I wanted to marry

her after seeing her photograph.

If she has to feel the same way,

then she needs to see me too, right?

What happened to this damn thing?

I will kill that salesman.

Thank god it stopped here.

If it stopped in her village,

I would have lost face.

God alone knows which parts are missing.

He said its a new car

If any part is required,

I have to get it from London.

Who is it?

Hey.

Come out from there.

What? Why are you staring at me?

Come out from under there. Come fast.

Break this and give it to me. Fast.

Come.

Come fast.

Grandma.

Do I have to tell you everything?

Come and hold her down.

Grandma.

Instead of staring at me,

go get her some water.

Alright

I told you to stay home.

Why did you come here?

Why do you need to struggle in the sun?

I feel you're in a hurry to

go to your son and daughter-in-law.

They abandoned me and passed away.

Now you want to follow?

Don't you love me?

If you go, who do I have left?

Its not that.

You've asked for only 6

months time before the wedding...

...and you are working so hard.

I just wanted to help out

That is when Father found out

why mother had asked for the 6 months.

As per tradition,

on the day of the wedding...

...the grooms clothes have

to be given by the brides family.

When he saw the struggle she was going

through just to buy a pair of clothes...

...he understood the

dire poverty she came from.

She had to till the little land she had,

harvest the crop and sell it.

And then she would earn

the money to buy the clothes.

Realizing the efforts taken by mom

to buy him clothes impressed my dad.

Until then, Father only liked my mother.

At that moment,

he fell in love with her.

What are you standing there

like a statue? Give me that water.

Drink.

Who is this?

He doesn't look like

he's from our village.

Can't you see?

He is a thief.

Someone's motor car stopped on the road.

He was stealing parts from it.

That is wrong, Son. You seem healthy.

Why don't you work for a living?

That's what I came here for.

- What?

To work for a living.

Will you give me some water?

No I won't. Go away.

I helped you bring

your Grandmother home.

Can't you at least give me some water?

When we were bringing grandma home,

your were staring at me.

You think I didn't notice?

When did I look at you?

Why would I look at you?

Just because I can't speak

properly don't think I'm a fool.
