Miss Tanakpur Hazir Ho Page #2

---

And what did it get me'?

I'm living in hell.

What's the point of

crying when I'm with you'?

When I'm with you it feels like...

...my heart can sing again.

You lighten my soul.

I should leave now, Maya ma'am.

Arjun, I don't like

this "ma'am" business.

Can't you just call me Maya'?

No.

I like treating you with respect.

May l go now'?

We haven't spent enough time together.

It's really late.

I'm just worried that it

the Pradhan finds out about us...

I don't know what he'll do to you.

He scared me at the fair today.

Nothing will happen to me...

it's you I'm worried about.

He is worse than an animal,

you know...

What is this'?

You returned the money'?

But this is more than I spent.

Keep it to make me happy.

Once you join the police force,

I'll take it back with interest.

Yes Ma'am!

What happened?

Did he hit you again?

Arjun...

...I would have committed

suicide months back...

...if you hadn't come into my life.

Arjun, Pradhan's here, run!

Pradhanji, we have reached your house!

Who's there'?

Sorry, sorry.

- You go look there, I'll go look here.

- Who is it!

- Who is it!

Uh', move!

Turn that off!

Do you want to blind me'?

- What happened?

- Who was here?

Who ran away from here?

You are drunk,

you are imagining things!

No wonder you see

people running around.

Don't try to fool me.

I know you're upto

something in my absence.

What do you think I'm upto?

- Pradhanji!

Now what'?

- Come quickly!

- Coming!

- Where is he'?

- Who'?

Why did you call me

if you haven't found him'?

I wanted to ask...

it I can switch this light off'?

Idiot! Do you ask for my permission

when you want to take a dump'?

Sorry!

Get me a glass of water.

- Here.

Listen...

However smart you may think you are...

...one day I will find out the truth.

What truth'?

You get drunk and you imagine things.

Since 3 days, Ive been asking you

to take me to a doctor.

I have back pain and

you don't care!

It's not possible to

go right now in the night.

We'll see in the morning.

It's useless saying anything to you.

Go to sleep.

Don't turn away from me

and act coy like a new bride.

What's the point of bothering me'?

You won't be able to do anything.

Just go to sleep.

Here take this and go to sleep.

Let me sleep too.

Goodnight!

I think the second hand is spoilt.

I think it could be the machine.

- Has the clock stopped working?

- No!

Arjun has gone blind.

He needs to climb

up here to see the time.

- I see...

Stop meddling!

If your mother hadn't chanted

the prayers I gave her..

...you wouldn't even have been born.

Greetings!

Why don't you try to solve

your own problems with those prayers.

- Forget about him!

Arjun!

Good morning!

Good morning!

Arjun, can you come

fix my sewing machine?

Sorry that won't be possible.

If I don't get home soon...

Father will thrash me!

Lajjo!

Lajjo!

- Coming, ma!

- What are you upto?

- Wedding preparations.

What'?

It's Tulsi's wedding today,

I was making a garland for her.

Shouldn't you be preparing

for your own wedding?

It's only four days away.

Arjun! Wait a minute.

Aren't you bothered about your future?

What's wrong?

You're neither running

nor working out.

Listen carefully, son...

...you need to concentrate on your

application to the police academy.

I know I keep pestering

you about this...

...but you can't make a

living out of repairing things...

and I'm also retiring soon.

I need to show you something.

Look, I have collected

13,00,000 rupees for your job.

L've been collecting every penny.

I know nothing will happen

without bribing people.

- I don't care if I have to take

a loan for Lajjo's wedding.

But I won't touch this money.

- This is only for your

police education.

But even a small mistake by you...

and my entire life's

efforts will be wasted.

- Lajjo if we aren't done

before your aunt comes...

- she'll throw a fit.

- S-A-N-D-E.

That is Sunday.

- M-A-N-D-E...

That is Monday.

T-l-U-S-D-E.

That is Tuesday.

May I ask you something'?

What'?

Who is teaching you Angrezi (English)?

F-O-O-L, fool, this is English,

not Angrezi.

The school teacher

is teaching me English.

The other thing is...

that the state

elections are coming up...

Right.

And I am sure to be a candidate.

If I get elected...

...and can't speak a line of English...

...the village will have

to hang it's head in shame.

- Understand!

- Excuse me!

- What'?

- When are you taking me to the doctor'?

- Doctor?

Last night you said you'd take me.

Can't you see I'm dyeing my hair?

First, it'll dry,

then, I'll take a bath.

- After that I have an

important meeting to attend.

We'll go some other day.

- I'm never going to see that day.

You don't care about me.

Should I go to my father's place?

- He'll take me to the doctor.

- You aren't going to do anything!

Give me the hose.

- I'll have to do everything.

Are you looking for an excuse

to go back to your father's home?

Who will look after

me when you are gone?

And stop exposing yourself.

Who will do the housework?

Your buffalo?

If she could, shed do it.

She cares about me

more than you do.

Yes she does care.

But unlike you,

she's well- behaved and she's loyal.

Are you taking me

to the doctor or not'?

I'll see.

I know you aren't

going to do anything.

You can do as you please

but I'm going today.

My back has been hurting.

I'll take Laxmi along.

Laxmi!

- Yes!

- Get ready!

- We have to go the doctor.

Arjun, let's stop! It's already 3PM.

- I'll die if I cycle anymore.

- A little further.

I need to train for the police academy.

Nothing can stop me from getting in.

- Arjun stop!

- Oh our P.T.Usha!

This pain is getting unbearable.

How long will this bus take to arrive?

Where...'?

To a doctor in the city.

All alone?

He doesn't have the time.

Give me one minute...

Give me your shirt.

One minute.

Take it off.

I can arrange for an Englishwoman

with this imported whisky.

- Really?

- Just find out who that boy is.

Don't worry.

I promise I'll turn him

into a mad man and get him here.

Missiles might lose their way

but not my chants and magic.

But you need to perform

a tantric ritual.

I'm willing to perform a 100,

just find me a way.

Who will write it down'?

If it's in English I'll write it down

and he'll write it down if it's in Hindi.

I'll write it.

Ok take a pen and paper.

Ok, should I call Goswamiji's spirit?

I'm calling Goswamiji's spirit? Okay?

Oh Spirit! Please give

us a special chant for Pradhanji.

Om heem kreem,

kamle kamlale...

- He's responding, wait...

Shastriji, who is Kamla?

No that's not what I meant Pradhanji!

Don't joke with Goswami's spirit,

it's a chant, not a joke.

Hail Goddess Kali!

- There! The boy has come!

- This isn't the boy, it's Gopi.

- What's happened?

- You need to come with me.

- Come quickly.

Don't take otherwise.

Bheema come with me.

You scoundrel!

Don't hit him!

Why are you hitting me'?

What have I done'?
