" The doe-eyed beauty

has stolen my heart"

Your voice resonates...

like spring making its

way through the mountains...

or pining for the love

on earth...

a star from the skies descends

You've pinched that one!

You ought to say...

" She came smiling and swaying,

with her tresses open"

" Even the nightingale pauses

when her anklets tinkle"

" She entranced me with

innocent looking eyes..."

The doe-eyed beauty...

has stolen my heart

" Every desire of hers,

shall be fulfilled"

No desire will l deny her

l'm madly in love...

how can l ever

get a hold on myself?

" Watch out, prisoner of love!"

" Once she holds you captive,

you can't escape"

" A million ties be severed...

but not this bond"

" She has robbed me of my sleep,

making false promises to me..."

The innocent looking one...

" The doe-eyed beauty

has stolen my heart"

Why're you silent?

l don't know what l'm

going to say today

l'm tongue-tied.

My voice is stifled

You wouldn't say that

if you really loved me?

What would l say then?

" When she takes off

the veil before the Moon..."

" the moon blushed in shame

and fell at her feet"

" The stars would wonder

what is wrong"

The doe-eyed beauty...

" a naughty girl

has stolen my heart"

" A doe-eyed beauty,

an innocent looking girl..."

has stolen my heart

" Munshiji, she came and went away.

She didn't even call out to us today"

You're a nut! lt's the man

who must make the first move

We've got to find out whom

she really loves

Suppose she chooses me?

So what? Where d'you apply the butter?

- On the bread

" That's it. You marry or l marry,

it's one and the same thing"

l've thought of something

" Just swallow your pills.

lt isn't for you think, okay?"

" What's wrong if l do, once in a while?

- All right, speak"

" lf you like my idea, it ends the fight.

- Are you going to speak or not?"

Sure l will. And we will

remain friends forever

Won't you speak? Damn you!

- Right away

l think we ought to

get married together

Good idea. l love it

We can share the expenses

" You can bring the lentils,

l'll get the flour"

" You buy her a salwar,

l'll get her a choli"

You pay the rents and l'll

look after whatever else

" Say it on oath. " l'll speak the

truth and nothing but the truth"

l've only spoken the truth.

- Please repeat it after me

" l'll speak the truth

and nothing but the truth"

Your name?

- Geeta

" Your name is Raina, not Geeta.

- My name is Geeta, sir"

" Whatever your name is,

these proceedings are..."

being carried out against you

in the name of Raina

So you must answer

to the name of Raina

Must l lie even after swearing

to speak the truth?

" These are legal proceedings, you see.

- l'll do it, if you say so"

My name is Raina

This case against you has been

going on for a long time

Why didn't you call

any of your relatives?

l did.

- Whom?

My husband. You

You know l'm not your husband.

Do you have other relatives?

" Did your wife have other relatives?

- l'm doing the questioning, not you"

" Answer my question. Apart from the

husband, do you have other relatives?"

She wants to know if your wife

had other relatives

My wife was all alone.

Her parents were dead

Did she have any brothers or sisters?

Please note that and let

the proceedings continue

lnspector Daljit Singh arrested you

from the hills of Lalgarh

ls that true?

- Yes

How did you get there?

Some bandits had abducted me.

- So bandits had kidnapped you!

Which means the bandits got

into your house quietly...

" your servants were fast asleep,

you made no noise..."

and you quietly left with

the bandits. ls that it?

That's not how it was.

- So how was it?

l had gone out of my house

when the bandits ambushed me

They gagged me and carried me away.

- On which date did it happen? When?

The 16th of October.

- At what time?

At 1 1 :
30 p.m.

- So the bandits already knew...

that you'd step out of the house

at 1 1 :
30 on the 16th of October...

and they'd easily abduct you.

- l don't know anything about that

" All right. Now tell me, when you

were kidnapped by the bandits..."

why didn't your family

report it to the police?

You were abroad then.

- l was abroad...

but your family was very much here.

Answer my question

" When you were kidnapped, why didn't

your folks report it to the police?"

l don't know anything about that.

- You don't know it. But l do

The fact is that you are not my wife.

My wife was seriously ill then

" Everybody at home was attending to her.

- No, that's a lie!"

" lf this is a lie, what

is the truth? What?"

Can you prove that the bandits

had indeed kidnapped you?

" Do you have any proof, l ask!"

l don't have any proof.

Where will l find the proof?

" Of the bandits who kidnapped me,

two fell to police bullets"

And one escaped

The accused says two of her

accomplices fell to police bullets...

and one isn't yet apprehended.

- They were not my accomplices!

l have nothing to do with them.

l don't even know them!

You don't know the ones you lived with?

- l didn't live with them

You were part of their

robbery and pillage

l did nothing of the sort.

- You know things about me you...

aren't even remotely connected with.

- l'm connected in that l'm your wife!

" You are lying!

- l have witnesses, and l'm lying?"

" And you're not lying,

you have no witnesses!"

l don't know anything...

l know nothing

Except that l'm your wife.

l'm your Geeta... your Geeta

lf you are my wife...

lf you are indeed my Geeta...

" you must certainly believe in duty?

- l do, you know that"

" As a Hindu, you must also be

believing in our texts"

l do.

- So tell me...

" if you're a married woman, where

is your matrimonial necklace?"

My matrimonial necklace...?

When the bandits kidnapped you...

were you wearing the necklace?

- No

You claim to be a Hindu woman

" And yet, you take off your symbol

of marriage when you go out?"

Can you tell the court

why you did that?

l can't .

- Why not?

Because...

Because you don't have the necklace

" Because you never had it,

nor will you ever have it"

Because the necklace is with me!

This is my wife's

matrimonial necklace

lt's a practice to burn

the necklace with the body

But l broke this age-old custom

When people were carrying

my wife's body away...

l took this necklace

off her neck

" Because, without her, l had

no support in life"

" And this necklace has been with

me every moment, ever since"

l can prove that the

necklace belongs to me

How?

- When my husband was going abroad...

the necklace had snapped.

Nobody apart from my husband and l...

knows about this. Taking the breaking

of the necklace as a bad omen...

he was putting off his visit abroad.

l reasoned with him with all my love

" As a result, he agreed

to go abroad"

He took the necklace to the goldsmith

and had it fixed immediately

Don't do it.

- Guess who it is

l know. Let go.

- Utter my name first

Gangu!
