- You crushed my chest!

That a likely repercussion

of a fall. Nothing new.

Sita, I'm not taking any action

against you this time. Because...

"That was a nice choice"

Because your past record is good.

But if you do that ever again,

God help you!

This is the second time

Sita has disappeared.

I told you how she disappeared

from the railway station.

When she returned, there was

a man with her.

I gave her a warning.

But she has done it again.

But how did she sneak out?

- I don't know! The gate is locked.

And the watchman is on guard duty.

But Mr. Raichand, you're her father.

Consider this. She disappeared...

from the railway waiting room

without telling the warden.

Would you have spared us

if she eloped with that boy?

I know my daughter very well.

I've given her a good upbringing.

She could never have

taken the wrong step.

I have complete faith in her.

- Every parent believes his child.

But despite warnings, your daughter

has been breaking all the rules.

She scaled the walls

of the hostel.

And she has stayed away

for nights together.

You have been a principal.

You know, as Dean of the college...

I am responsible for the girls

in this college.

To save the reputation of this

college, I have to expel Sita.

I cannot afford to keep

a rotten apple.

Is the college closed

for holidays?

Yes. Just get her luggage in.

Daddy!

You believe whatever she says?

Don't you trust your own daughter?

You should've asked me.

- Not necessary.

I don't think the Dean

is your enemy.

Maybe what she said is true.

You...?

After all these years! All these

years since your mother died!

I brought you up with

such great expectations!

And today, the world speaks

ill of you! It breaks my heart!

Your mother named you after Sita.

She had such hopes!

And Sita, that ideal of womanhood

had to prove her chastity.

You didn't eat last night either.

Eat something, Daddy.

If it's my fault,

go on, punish me.

Kill me, if you think

I'm going astray! Kill me!

I don't know what comes over me.

Something happens after

I've gone to sleep.

I don't know anything.

I swear by my dead mother!

I have done nothing wrong.

I'd kill rather kill myself

than bring you to shame!

I beg of you, Daddy!

Don't misunderstand me!

Please don't misunderstand me!

I've done nothing wrong!

What you do after you've

fallen asleep...

why you do what you do...

where you go...

you remember nothing?

And what after you've

come awake?

I feel terrible.

I feel like I'm dead, numb.

I can't even remember what

happened the moment before.

I feel like weeping...

like breaking down and crying!

Why does this happen?

This boy you love...

what kind of a person is he?

Do you think your father

isn't going to like him?

No Doctor!

You go looking for him

in the nights.

IQ!

Now don't hide it from me.

I'm going to help you.

There's nothing wrong

about falling in love.

But you mustn't hide it.

Tell me, who is he?

There's no one!

I'm not in love with anyone!

Please! Don't get me wrong!

That's what I keep telling everyone!

Don't misunderstand me!

But no one will listen to me!

What do I do?!

But now we know something.

You aren't suffering

from any disease.

Really?

I'm not suffering

from any disease?

Right. No disease. But you're weak.

And you have loss of memory.

Now take care of yourself.

Daddy!

You needn't worry. I'm perfectly

all right. It isn't any disease.

The doctor said so.

Perfectly all right. You've made

her believe that she's sick.

That Principal inside you!

Go home. And make sure

you drive carefully.

I'll be with the doctor

for a while.

I was right.

Who's the fellow?

Did you tell her that she's free

to choose whomever she wants?

You're completely wrong.

There's no man.

Sita is a sleepwalker.

You mean she scaled the walls

of the hostel in her sleep?

These sleep-walkers will

climb cliffs, swim rivers...

and in that senseless state,

they might even kill.

And afterwards, they won't

even remember a thing.

God! What is going to happen

to my girl?

Not to worry overmuch.

But before the news spreads...

and she gets a bad name,

you should get her married.

Marriage?

What if it persists

even after marriage?

Afterwards, she'll get busy

with her own household.

And there's the husband.

Once she has had children...

God willing, she will be all right.

Have nothing to worry, Raichand.

Worry, and you'll lose faith in God.

Had her mother been alive, finding

a suitable boy would've been easy.

But when the father shoulders

the whole responsibility...

matchmaking takes so much time.

Can you suggest something?

I have a boy in mind. God willing,

the match might be agreed upon.

Go on. Please tell me.

Have you heard of

Thakur Ummat Singh?

His villa is next to my temple.

Avery prominent family.

Who doesn't know him?

But he died last year, didn't he?

Avery noble man. He used to be

a trustee on the college board.

Yes. It's his son. Ram.

He's educated. Fine boy.

He is taking care of

all the businesses.

What better a match

for our Sita?

Who else are there in the family?

- Small family.

His mother... she's a bit stern

though. But she's a good woman.

There's a sister too. Married.

Her husband lives with them.

The son-in-law lives

with his in-laws.

Girdhar they said, is a fine poet.

And by and by, Girdhar becomes

the son-in-law about-the-house.

Any more clothes to be ironed?

Hurry up. At this rate, the

bridegroom's father will be here...

and I'll be standing

here like this.

Why are you standing here?

Just walk in there. As you are.

What did you say?

- Every breath holds a prayer.

Every moment the passions rise.

Give it to me!

Stop it.

Hold this.

She's shy, she's coy,

she gives me the slip.

Here she comes!

Yes, Mummy?

You're still in a

state of undress.

They are here.

We're waiting for you.

I'll be in a moment.

Take a look at her photograph.

- Later. Go away now.

Who is she?

- She...?

The neighbor!

Hello there. How's your grandson?

- Having teething troubles.

What are you doing here?

Go on. Help Ram get dressed.

We're waiting.

Now go on.

May I see the photo?

- All right.

What a girl! Why didn't

I see her before?

This is a question of my life!

You want me to marry just anyone?

Someone I don't even know?

- What's wrong with that?

Look at me. I never knew whom

I was marrying before I married her!

One look at you, and I said yes!

We're discussing my marriage.

- When did I say I'm marrying?

It's a matter of my life!

- When did I say it's my life?

Girdhar, why don't you understand?

- I understand everything.

Why not take a look at this photo

before you make up your mind?

It's no use. Send them away.

Please yourself. It's your choice.

But this girl is a bomb!

And he wants more?

Sure! I want more!

Girdhar!

- Yes?

What are you after?!

- The photo!

But it's no use now.

I'm sending them away.

What a melodrama!

- It's just begun.

But it's your marriage!
