Raja Hindustani Page #6

He must be returning.

Our daughter has come alone?

Where's our son-in-law?

Gosh! He's left behind.

I'll fetch him right away.

All of us will come to greet him.

Let's us how our son-in-law is.

You don't have change? Why not?

Why don't you keep loose change?

Forget it. After all, it's a matter

of only two-and-a-half rupees.

Is two-and-a-half rupees

a small amount?

Give back my note. I'll give you

the exact amount. Am I a fool?

You live in such a huge bungalow and

you crib for two-and-a-half rupees?

I don't live in this bungalow.

I live in Palankhet.

Come on...give back my money.

What happened? What's the matter?

He's a strange fellow. The

fare is 47.50 rupees.

I gave him a 50-rupee note.

Now I'm asking for 2.50 rupees...

and now he's arguing with me.

Let it be.

It's a matter of two-and-a-half

rupees. Come on. Let's go.

What do you mean?

Are you gone mad?

It's my hard-earned money.

I too drive taxis.

But I've never cheated anybody.

I account for every paisa.

Come on. Give me my money.

Here...

Take your two-and-a-half rupees and

stop your nonsense, you beggar.

Whom did you call a beggar?

Don't you hit me! Or

I'll contact the union!

Scoundrel!

Take him away.

You've got your money. Go now.

What do you mean? Is he mad?

He quarrels for a couple of rupees.

He may kill for 5 rupees.

Send him back to his village.

All right. We'll send him back.

He's a quarrelsome person.

Calm down...calm down.

Raja is very tirled. Take him inside.

Go and take rest.

Why did you have to...

Do you mean that I was wrong?

What kind of a person

did Aarti marry?

She has married the right man.

Didn't you see how much

angry he becomes?

It's easy to instigate a person

who is so hot-tempered.

It doesn't take long

to light a fire.

Hurry up.

The guests must've arrived.

Yes?

May I come in?

Yes, of course. Please come.

Yes?

How should I tell you?

I won't be able to tell you.

You may tell me.

Dear...I too can have some desirles

and aspirlations, can I not?

Yes, why not?

I want Raja to wear this dress

in today's party.

I've got it made myself. It would

look so good on Raja.

But he...?

Why?

Don't you want Raja to look the

most handsome in today's party?

Yes.

Don't you?

But why did you take

so much of trouble?

Trouble? What's the trouble?

I'm your mother, after all.

Who else do I have besides you?

But don't tell Raja that I've

given it to you.

Otherwise he won't wear it.

You know how Raja is!

Then what should I tell him?

Every wife knows how to

convince her husband.

Ah, yes! Tell him that you've

bought this suit for him.

It's one and the same thing whether

you buy it or I buy it.

He'll agree if you ask him.

All guests have arrived.

Both of you...get ready.

Get him to wear the

suit, all right?

Gosh! Why did you sit down?

Get up!

I'm unable to get myself to

attend this gathering.

What? Don't talk about it now.

Just get up and get ready.

Hurry up...come on!

You will wear this today?

Yes. I thought of wearing

my wedding dress tonight.

No...today you'll wear this.

What is this?

It's a suit.

You'll look handsome

if you wear it.

Everybody at the party

will say that...

..nobody is more beautiful

than Aarti's Raja.

But where did it come from?

I bought it.

But it must be very expensive.

So what? I've been taking away

money from your pocket.

Did you get to know about it?

This suit was bought

with that money.

Is it?

Hey...enough of arguments.

Wear it now. For my sake.

All right.

You were so delayed! Father has

been waiting for you since long.

Why're you looking so lost?

Come...I'll introduce you

to some guests.

Me?

You're feeling shy?

Do you know...in this party, the

richest of people have come?

Come...let me introduce

you to all of them.

But will you agree to something?

Keep quiet in theirl presence.

Or else the truth'll be exposed.

You understand everything.

Isn't it? Come on...

You were asking, weren't you?

He's Aarti's husband.

The owner of Lucknow Mills.

Uncle...where is Raja?

Where're you going?

You should leave your husband

alone for some time.

He's mixing with people.

He's happy.

All right.

What is your profession?

Isn't it such an unusual name?

The owner of Hindustan and

Hindustan Motor Company.

He has hundreds of cars.

What're you saying?

You're feeling annoyed because

I'm speaking in English?

I'm speaking in English.

And he hates English.

He's of the opinion that only

those who speak English are...

What're you saying?

No...I've nothing against the

language of the English.

In fact, I don't know

how to speak English.

She believes that one who doesn't

know how to speak English...

..he becomes degraded,

and is unfit for your society.

Keep quiet.

And you'd better know that I'm not

an owner of any motor company.

I'm a taxi-driver and

a tourist guide.

Forget about hundreds of cars,

I don't even own my own taxi.

I've only one vehicle, and that

too belongs to my Uncle and Aunty.

If you like, you may

speak to me now.

You see...

Come over here.

Didn't I tell you that you

should keep quiet?

But why're you lying to

others about me?

Then what should I do?

Should I tell them the truth...

..about your status and means?

Should I tell them the

reality about you?

That a taxi-driver has become the

son-in-law of this big family?

You're a shameless man.

You might not even be

feeling ashamed about it.

But hear this carefully.

We decent people are tirled...

..ofbeing embarrassed

because of you.

Now don't embarrass us any more.

Why're you leaving the party?

I'm going upstairls.

How beautiful!

It's such a beautiful suit.

Where did you buy it from?

Aarti bought it for me.

Why're you laughing on me?

Yes...why're you laughing?

Why shouldn't I laugh? This suit is

mine. I've worn it so many times.

It belongs to you?

Yes.

But I don't understand something.

Why did Aarti lie to you?

Aarti must be feeling

embarrassed since...

..Raja doesn't have

nice dress to wear.

She just lied a little to make

you fit for this gathering.

You aren't lying, are you?

Why would he lie?

If Aarti is embarrassed about you,

go and ask Aarti. What can we do?

Come on...go and ask her.

Like you know...

Today is the birthday of my

husband and my darling daughter.

Wow! What a night it is!

Come on, Raja...

Hey! Where are you taking me?

You've already made quite

a scene. Come to the room now.

No. Not in the room. Right here!

In everybody's presence!

Speak whatever you like

in everybody's presence.

Enough ofkeeping things

under cover!

How could you dare to misbehave

like this with my daughter?

If you utter any more word...

You'd better keep quiet!

Who're you to interfere in a

husband and wife's matter?

You interfere a lot with our

lives. Keep quiet now!

Why're you embarrassing us

in everybody's presence? Why?

Embarrassment!

Yes...embarrassment!

You've said the right thing now!

Are you hearing?

All of them are embarrassed
