Saathiya Page #5

Synopsis: Running away from home can't keep a couple together. A signed paper can't keep a couple together. Love can. While for most Love Stories, marriage is the "goal", the fact remains that marriage is just the beginning. Saathiya continues on, from where most love stories end. From the infatuation stage "when a couple thinks they are in love" right through to "when a couple discovers the true meaning of love". Aditya (Vivek Oberoi) and Suhani (Rani Mukerji) met and fell in love. But when they eloped and set up home hoping that just Love will do the trick - well that's just the beginning of their story.

She talks a lot.

She knows a lot.

Don't go by what she says.

Dina is very simple... very tolerant.

She has taken the responsibility

of the entire household and...

...she never complains. Isn't it?

In fact, it's the same case

with Raghu.

See, he hasn't even opened

his mouth so far.

Raghu... say something.

If you say yes...

For us everything is alright... Why?

- I am agreeable too.

But, you should ask Dina as well.

- Don't worry about that.

We called you only

when Dina said yes.

When you give your consent...

We'll get an auspicious date fixed.

And you've told that you're

not superstitious.

Can I say something

if you don't mind...?

Your younger daughter and my younger son

are both studying medicine.

What's it called?

Bio-Technology.

- Yes, Bio-Technology.

He's doing a Masters degree.

We haven't asked Kartik, but...

We'll ask him and

you ask your daughter.

If they agree then, its God's will.

Both brothers and sisters...

Can stay in the same house.

What are you saying, mom?

How can this be?

If it can, what's wrong with it?

It's like a yard sale.

Buy one, get one free.

We are not selling our daughters.

They haven't even asked for a dowry.

The boy is well educated.

This is a stroke of good fortune.

Why are you attaching my fortune with his?

- Speak softly.

Wear this. - What's wrong in

what I am wearing?

I won't do it.

Mom, I cannot marry.

It seems you're going to ruin

Dina's fortune. Wear this.

She got scared hearing about

her marriage.

Even, I'd gotten scared.

If I had any inclination that something

like this would happen,

I surely wouldn't have come.

But, that's how my father is.

Are you OK with it?

I am already married.

My parents don't know.

I married secretly in the court.

Railway Colony, Mumbai.

Is Suhani here?

There is no one by that name here.

Get lost.

Where is Suhani?

Where is Suhani?

Where is Dina?

- She's not at home.

I am asking you to tell me

where Suhani is.

What's happened to her?

I don't know.

She left the hospital at 5.

It's 11 now...

there is no news of her.

I've gone home twice.

There is no news of her.

So, where has she gone?

You must have said something to her.

- And 2 inches!

Height 5 feet 2 inches.

Wearing a light brown Sari.

A doctor's coat, hand bag,

stethoscope.

Sir, there is a hospital

ID card as well.

Hospital ID-card. Yes, just check

and call me.

Uncle, are you going? - Yes.

Leaving home and going away?

- Yes.

She's the one who should cry,

whose marriage you have broken.

I don't want to marry.

Yes, why would you want to marry?

She is the one in a hurry

to get married.

The elder one is still unmarried and

the younger one has no patience.

In six months she'll be abandoned

and be on the streets.

Get lost. There is no place for

you in this house.

Be sensitive,

he's leaving the house.

Whose house? When was this his house?

This is my house.

Aditya, don't go away.

Anyone who is stopping him

can leave with him as well.

Get out.

Let it be.

Get out of my house.

From this day, we will have

no dealings with this house.

Promise me. We'll never show

our face to them again.

We both are enough for each other.

- OK.

Take me to the temple.

Why? Do you want to marry again?

- Shut up and get in.

Okay, let's go.

We carry the burdens of the world

on our heads.

What are you doing? Be careful.

- Thank you. At least you noticed.

The stove is a gift from me.

Buy yourself your own gas.

I can gift you a matchbox.

What is all this?

- It belongs to my brother.

Does he drink here?

All this will get shifted inside.

He'll drink in his section.

This part of the house

belongs to you.

Hey kids! There is a great advantage

in eloping with a girl.

The girl doesn't threaten to go back

to her parents every now and then.

That is true.

She won't threaten.

Yes, but there is also a problem.

- What's that?

Eloping with girls...

will become a habit and...

He'll keep running away

with all and sundry.

Did you weigh your profits and losses

when you eloped with aunty?

No, no. It was she who

made me run away.

Really? How did that happen?

I'd had a bit too much to drink.

I got emotional.

Let's go.

- There is some left...

What's the matter.

You seem to be very happy.

Excited?

"Soaring..."

"Are my dreams"

"my heart dreams...

of colourful nights"

"The light mist that

descended last night..."

"left my eyes brimming..."

"as it pattered on my hands"

"The joy of getting drenched in the

first rains of the season"

"I was drenched in the first rains,

without a regret..."

"all over town, without a regret"

"Like her plaits in knots,

coming free..."

"it poured all night"

"At times, coaxing.

At times, tormenting..."

"like the moods of my beloved"

"When I tease her out of love,

sometimes... she sulks"

"Even when I let go in

a fit of anger,

"I have a battle on my hands"

"Even if I simply kiss her,

I still have a battle to cope with"

"The light of my eyes

means the life to me..."

"in my eyes I preserve this life,

it's only for you..."

"Few are the moments of life

to spend them in disagreement"

"I have been through death to put

our fragile hearts together"

"Ask for anything and

I can present it to you"

"But, do consider... there are very

few stars in the sky anyway"

"The light of my eyes

means the life to me..."

"even though my eyes have often

seen a sweet bitterness..."

"this life, this life of mine..."

"without a regret..."

"all over town, without regret,

only for you"

"Like her plaits in knots,

coming free..."

"it poured all night"

"Coaxing, tormenting...

like the moods of my beloved"

"Soaring..."

"are my dreams"

"my heart dreams...

of colourful nights"

Don't see through your right eye.

It's inauspicious.

Where is the newspaper?

I have been waiting for 15 minutes.

Hoping that when you get up...

you will see me first.

And all you want is the paper.

OK, I've seen you.

Now, where is the paper?

At night you were making many promises.

What happened now?

Really? What was I saying?

- Liar.

You aren't worried about your wife

But, you want to know...

what's happening in Patna.

Please give me the paper.

- You won't get it.

You can't get your wife and

the news together.

Suhani, where's the paper?

But, what's happened in Patna?

- Riots have broken out.

Where is the paper?

Here's your hot news.

- What madness is this?

Hey kids! What's going on?

- Nothing.

Why are you burning the house?

All this won't do in someone else's house.

But, this is my house...

- How's it your own house...?

That will happen when you pay the rent.

What did you tell Pushy?

That you'd pay 5 months rent

in advance. Where is it?

I said on the 1st... - The 1st went by

long ago. What's the date today?

No, I meant the 1st of next month.

- Uncle, the tea is getting cold.

Do you want to mix it?

In front of this girl,

I cannot argue.

Poor thing has left her parents house.

- And poor me.

Even I have left my parents house.

Mani Ratnam

Gopala Ratnam Subramaniam (born 2 June 1956), commonly known by his screen name Mani Ratnam, is an Indian film director, screenwriter, and producer who predominantly works in Tamil cinema. The Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri, acknowledging his contributions to film in 2002. Despite being born into a film family, Mani Ratnam did not develop any interest towards films when he was young. Upon completion of his post graduation in management, he started his career as a consultant. He entered the film industry through the 1983 Kannada film Pallavi Anu Pallavi. The failure of his subsequent films would mean that he was left with fewer offers. However, his fifth directorial outing, Mouna Ragam (1986), established him as a leading filmmaker in Tamil cinema. He followed that with Nayakan (1987). Mani Ratnam is well known for his "Terrorism trilogy" consisting of Roja (1992), Bombay (1995), and Dil Se.. (1998). Mani Ratnam is married to Tamil actress Suhasini and has a son with her. He has won several film awards, including six National Film Awards, six Filmfare Awards South and three Bollywood Filmfare Awards. more…
