I've come a bit early.

Huh?

I should have waited

till everyone left.

But I was too excited!

And look! I even forgot Gulab's gift!

OK...

I'll leave.

Don't want to spoil

this night for you.

Everything is ruined Ma.

Gulab won't even look at me.

He thinks I did it on purpose.

I thought I'd finally

rest easy tonight.

But everything is ruined.

Here, take a sip.

Ma?

Gulab!

My mother said...

She died of shock

from seeing your bald bride.

Rani spent a

fortune on your joke-bride.

The oldie died laughing.

Where have you been

for the last 2 days?

Are you drunk again?

What's your name?

Janaki.

Janaki.

Take this off.

Why?

What are you doing?

Lie down.

Come here.

Don't do that!

Shhh...

Please!

Bijli?

One second...

Rani?

It's late!

Come in!

What's wrong?

Rani?

Bijli.

Forgive me for the other night.

Are you crazy Rani?

It was my fault!

I shouldn't have come.

I was just so excited!

Look. You're sorry. I'm sorry.

Our sorrys cancel out!

Tell me about the wedding.

How is the groom?

It's Gulab's wedding night.

I forced him to marry her.

I have ruined his life!

N o , Rani!

Just watch! In no time...

Janaki will have him

wrapped around her finger.

It's not a big deal!

It's just hair!

Bijli.

How is your hair so beautiful?

Always so perfect?

You're so fair...

But you are the dark horse...

With a wild streak!

Bijli?

Bijli!

Yes?

The boss sent your share.

He said a big client

is coming tomorrow.

OK.

What is it Raju?

ls there someone with you?

You can play detective tomorrow.

Now good night!

Darling...

Sweet dreams...

Sweetest dreams to you too Bijli.

You're going to work Gulab?

Such long luscious hair Gulab...

You'll be stunned by her beauty!

There, I'm stunned.

Worry not Mother,

I've performed my husbandly duties.

Finally... The Princess wakes.

This isn't your mother's house.

There.

Chop this.

Do some work.

Cover your head.

You've shamed me enough already.

Not on the floor!

Didn't your mother teach you anything?

They sold me a useless goat.

I squashed her b*obs...

Then I slammed into her!

Showed her who's the boss!

Lucky bastard, getting double action.

Got a bride and a whore.

Gulab!

Stop! That's Kishan's stuff!

Bastard! That skirt-f***er!

Challenges the village Elders!

Sisterfucker!

That motherf***er.

Piss on his handicrafts!

What will he sell now?

Hey... grab a stack!

Dick!

Corrupting our women...

Let's show him!

Stop a**hole!

My Ma stitched that!

F***ed

Run!

What's going on?

F*** you Kishan!

Gulab?

Where have you been?

I came by your house... it was locked.

What happened?

Shahrukh Khan?

Ma?

Ma the dough is ready.

Should I fire the stove?

Yes.

What happened?

Who did this?

Forget it Rani.

Some people don't like progress.

But we will not back down.

We'll continue our work quietly.

Why is everyone in this village

deaf and mute?

Why don't you tell her the truth?

Gulab has gone mad!

Look what he did!

Control your son!

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

How I wonder-

Get inside! Now!

Haven't you been told?

Girls who read make bad wives!

Learn to please your husband!

Or he'll dump you and never look back!

Hello?

Not Gulabo! My name is Rani.

Rani Kan war Jaiswal!

A 32 year old widow,

with a 17 year old son.

My eyes are getting weak!

My back hurts!

Want to hear more?

It's been 15 years since

I've been touched by a man.

Tell me Shahrukh Khan...

Where and when do you want to meet?

And then...

His pants tore open...

To unleash his dragon.

But as soon as his dragon got out...

It shrunk into a mouse.

What is this Bijli?

How long can we sit like this?

Its mud from the ocean floor...

It will make you look 16 again.

No mud can bring back my lost years.

What's with the mood Rani?

Did you fight with your mobile lover?

Shahrukh Khan.

Oh! Shahrukh Khan!

Don't frown!

You'll get wrinkles!

Then he won't call you!

No phone. No tring tring.

He won't be calling again.

Ever!

I don't need wrinkles to put him off.

I told him the truth about me.

Off he ran! Tail between his legs.

Lajjo!

Don't keep roaming around!

Go fix me a meal. I'm starving.

You better go.

You'll get the money.

I assure you.

Look... There's his mother.

Gulab is in trouble.

He owes them money.

Pa)! Up now!

I need time to arrange for the rest.

Sir. Could we get an advance?

It's an emergency.

Yes. We'll deliver on time.

I sold my wedding necklace.

I'm still 5000 short.

Don't worry. We'll get the money.

It's done!

Mother dear...

You brought my money?

Where is it?

He owes me for more than a month now!

I run a business after all!

Little motherf***er!

Don't have a dime in your pocket!

Calling mommy to save you?

You want free sex?

Get it from your wife!

Bloody dogs in heat!

Always looking for a quick f***!

Janaki!

Rani?

Ma's not home. She's gone to the city.

You have completely disgraced us!

I was already in

debt from your wedding!

And now this!

It's your fault!

I didn't even want to get married!

Send her back and get a refund.

Anyway she's bloody defective.

You'll trade your wife

for booze and whores?

It's only money, okay!

Light yourself another.

Where is everyone?

Boss has gone to the Village Elders.

To plead our case.

Why?

The village women are asking for a TV.

If that happens Bijli,

we'll be out of business.

What bullshit!

TV can't replace Bijli's thunder.

No Bijli

Yes Raju!

Bijli No!

Raju Yes!

C'mon, Lajjo.

Can anyone stop you Bijli?

No!

Then gm!

Move your stupid sheep!

Rani!

You two look like monkeys!

Hey Elephant Queen!

Ride with us to the zoo!

Come on!

I'll die before I'm seen on that!

You're both insane!

Forget what others say...

Follow your heart Rani!

Bijli's craziness is infectious!

Come be crazy with us!

What will people say?

They'll say "Rani's having fun!"

Hurry or everyone will see!

Jana/dis really an innocent.

May she remain so forever.

Don't nag her to have children soon.

But she must bear children!

Without bearing a child...

A woman's life is nothing!

Rani!

You talk such sh*t sometimes.

A woman has value,

even without a child.

We weren't born just to bear children!

Lajjo...

Don't worry.

You can't give up.

Life can't be that unfair.

We have just one life.

We too will find

our share of happiness.

Have faith.

Wait a minute!

Maybe he's the problem!

Huh?

Tell Manoj to get himself tested.

What?

What do you mean?

Men can be infertile too!

It's not always a woman's fault.

Get Manoj tested.

Let's see who's barren. Him or you?

Are you saying?

That I could be a mother someday?

Men can be infertile?

Absolutely!

I didn't know that was possible!

How can we test this?

Bijli, do you have a magic potion?

Or...

A doctor, a priest or a healer?

Those frauds can't get you a baby.

Let me think.

I'll figure something.

But first you tell me...

Why do you want a child so badly?

To save your marriage?

What kind of a question is that Bijli?

I want the joy of having a child!
