He too will destroy evil.

But to tell you the truth...

I want a daughter.

What are you saying Lajjo?

You're listening?

I'm pregnant.

What?

I'm pregnant!

I'm pregnant!

Finally!

What's wrong?

Isn't this what you wanted?

Tell me, who did you f***?

Whose sin is in your belly?

No one's!

Who else's would it be?

It's yours!

My child?

You think I'm an idiot?

That you can trick me?

F***ing whore!

Why can't it be yours?

Tell me why it can't be yours?

Hit me all you want...

It won't change a thing...

This child is yours and yours alone!

IT CAN'T BE MINE!

Because you're a whore!

A dirty whore!

I may be a whore...

But I am not barren!

Naobi!

Kishan?

What happened?

He's lying half-dead in the hospital.

We can't live here anymore.

We're leaving!

If fate allows, we'll meet again.

Today we celebrate

the Divine power of the Feminine.

Today Goddess Durga decimated

the great demon Mahisur.

Listen...

Accept this child as your own Manoj.

You've always wanted a child.

This is your chance!

Fine. Go tell the Elders...

Announce to the whole village...

That your wife is a whore!

She slept with another man...

And that's how she got pregnant.

Because you couldn't do it!

Because YOU are the barren one!

Lajjo!... Open the door!

Lajjo!

Let go of her! Bastard!

As Lord Ram's arrow

pierced Ravan's navel...

The Demon King burst into flames!

Lajjo! Help!

Good won over Evil.

Truth defeated Deceit.

Today we cleanse our lives.

Today we rise above our fears.

Today we let the Light enter.

Today we leave darkness behind.

Bijli!

What's wrong?

It's burnt.

I feel like I have to go all the time.

Like there's a well inside me.

Bijli...

I've never seen you like this.

Will you really run away with us?

Leave everything behind?

You've done so much for us.

You have no idea what

you both have done for me.

I've heard many

promises over the years...

But no one came through.

You did. You set Bijli free!

Look Rani.

Your hair is burnt.

Rani's hair is burnt!

Hey Rani...

Imagine... What will people say?

Rani will have to

cut her hair like Janaki.

Quiet! You duffers.

Where should we go?

Mumbai!

Oh no... Not Mumbai!

Why not?

I want my child to have

a childhood like mine.

She'll dance in the fields...

Bathe in the river...

Catch butterflies in the Spring...

And who will earn the money?

Your father?

There are no men now. Just us.

Kishan has shown

us that we can survive!

Skillful sewing...

beats skillful screwing!

Rani your phone's ringing!

It's Shahrukh Khan!

Rani... Answer it.

Ask him...

Should we go left or right?

Rani? Where are you my love?

At a crossroad...

Wondering whether to go left or right.

So what will it be?

From now on...

I'll let my heart decide.
