Yes.

Then it'll break in a jiffy!

Of course.

Now I am the village head.

Can't see just

my own profit & loss.

Forget whatever

happened in the past.

If the road is made,

everyone will benefit.

Yes, then a proper

road can be made.

Yes.

Motor cars will zip around

in our Gehlore.

Reaching the hospital

will get easy.

Zip! & you'll be in Wazirgunj!

Zip and you're in Vvazirgunj?

Yes.

Dashrath is doing a noble job.

He's breaking the mountain

in memory of his wife,

She was like a... Goddess.

Sit brother Dashrath, sit.

Sit...

You're very hard working.

We are happy with you work

I'm writing to the government

to help you.

You'll get money.

The Government is like a parent.

Once the road is made

I can die in peace.

Now everything will change.

Everything will change!

Now you go.

And listen, work diligently.

When the money comes from Delhi

I'll send it through Ivlukhiya

I am an illiterate

...Don't understand money matters.

But I will break the mountain.

Just get a permanent road made.

Consider it done.

Ivlukhiyaji...

We are sanctioning two million.

He won't know, hovv many

zeroes in two million.

BDO sir, this is called finding

a diamond in a coal mine.

Hello baba.

Bless you.

Baba recognize me?

I'm Gopal.

As a Kid, I used to

throw stones at you, Babe.

And call you

"The mad mountain man"

I was wrong.

Bless you

I want to say something to you.

Yes tell me.

Even I love someone as you did.

So do it.

Want to marry her.

Do it with elan.

But my parents are not ready.

What should I do?

I eloped with Phaguniya.

Love has a lot of power, my child.

Can I say something?

You won't mind?

Why are you talking in riddles?

Tell me.

The one I love...

...is... Rajkumaria.

Great! Fantastic! Alive!

Shut up dimwit.

You'll fix my son's marriage'?

Stupid, I'm not fixing it.

They have fixed it.

I've just come to give you

the good news.

Here! Have some

sweets

I don't agree... Get lost.

They are new age kids.

What if they elope or

jump into the well?

For 16 years I've been

breaking the mountain

I can break anything

but not the kid's hearts.

Understand? Don't insult yourself

& eat some sweets.

You're threatening me?

Why are you getting irritated?

Even I have a daughter.

Who will marry her without money?

L-low will I get the money'?

Will you give it'?

Oh GOCL.

Two birds and one stone!

Tell me one thing.

Your son my daughter...

and my son your daughter?

Fine?

So what are you thinking?

Have some sweets!

Live long...

Make your own path.

Phaguniya would have danced...

all night.

Why don't you dance?

Dance... dance.

Why are you standing like a statue.

The kids are getting married.

You need to bless them.

You are even older than me.

You won't change.

Let me x you.

What?

Let it be today?

OK I'll leave you today...

Enjoy!

No more than 2 sips...

Go... throw the stones.

You'll get more sweet water.

Remove all the stones.

We'll have more stones.

Come next week and collect them.

To maintain peace and order,

all necessary steps will be taken.

Anyone who protests

will be jailed.

The Govt has declared

a state of Emergency.
