Saathiya Page #6

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.

- Left the house...?

You must have been thrown out.

- Uncle, have your tea.

Meera, what happened to

that Sintel file?

Bhaskar is working on

some more details.

Are you people following it up

properly or not?

Of course we are. But, there has been

no response from their side.

But, what is the problem?

Until their American Co-coordinators

don't approve the project...

The deal cannot progress.

- Show me the file.

No. Wrong number.

Some Anil Mehta.

I had gone to buy vegetables.

I've been waiting for you for an hour.

- Sorry.

If you were going to take that long,

you should've left the keys with someone.

With whom? Pushy Aunty?

And what if she'd asked

for the rent?

So, should I just keep sitting...

until her Excellency arrives?

Do you think I went for a stroll?

I had gone to shop for our dinner.

But, what's the idea of making me

sit like a guard?

Why are you splitting hairs?

Before marriage... you could wait for me

for hours at the station.

Did you become a ticket checker

because of that? Come on.

It was another thing then. - What?

How was it different then?

Open the door.

We weren't married then... that's why.

- No... yes...

And now we are married. So, you don't

care for me any longer?

When did I say that?

- But, that's what you implied.

Give me the key.

Don't change the topic.

Why don't you say it clearly...

that you don't need me anymore.

Now, why are you splitting hairs?

Give me the keys.

I won't give him any food.

Once he sleeps hungry,

he'll realize.

And remember this incident.

- And even you remember this... - What?

Every time you fight with me,

I'll keep on making up

with you like this.

Let go of me. Leave me.

Not right now. Get lost.

That's what you said before

marriage also.

Exactly. Because unlike you,

I've not changed after marriage.

Now, what is this?

The days that you fight with me.

I will mark the calendar. - Why?

To prove that getting married

is very risky business.

That is true. Considering the way

you fight with me at night...

And bite and claw me...

Should I show you the marks?

Do you want to see them?

The mood is pleasant...

What's it?

Are you trying to find me?

I am here.

Where is my mangalsutra?

Forget it, I am alive right here

and ready to be hugged.

You took it out at night

saying it pricks.

I am the symbol of your marriage.

Why don't you hug me?

You prick even more.

Where is my mangalsutra?

Aunty... she'll ask for the rent.

Leave me, you shameless!

How was it last night?

- What?

Dhansak. Did you not eat it?

- Oh that! That was great.

She cleaned up all of it.

Now, you don't even need to

clean the utensils.

Why don't you go and take the recipe

from Aunty this evening?

What is this mangalsutra

doing here?

Suhani, this should not be taken off.

- Yes.

I have been searching for

this all morning.

It has to be your doing.

You must have hidden it.

Why should I hide it?

I thought I should wear it.

Sometimes even the man should

look married.

How much sugar?

- One spoon.

Here comes our friend. Wait and see.

He's going to start a fight.

Wait for a minute.

How are you? - Fine.

Hello wife... how are you? Having tea?

- I'm fine.

I'll just be back.

As long as you don't start it.

Suhani, where is my

project report file?

Are you listening to me?

Where is my file?

I've told you so many times...

not to move my things around.

Why are you laughing...?

Please stop it. Don't inject him anymore.

- Suhani, take her out.

Please come with me... come.

- No, I won't go.

Come with me... Let the doctor

try at least.

He's here for the past 2 days...

Nothing has been done.

Suhani, what's there to eat?

I am very hungry.

What happened?

- Let me stay like this.

Everyone is looking.

- Let them.

What's embarrassing? I am your wife.

Are you embarrassed...

Be reasonable, let's go inside.

- Let your reasons be.

Can you not even ask me

what I've been through?

OK, I am sorry. I didn't know

what happened at the hospital,

I just thought...

Don't touch me.

- Are you an untouchable?

You could always sense

my mood on the phone.

Why are you so restless?

You always knew the minute

you saw me.

You used to call me twice a day

just to know how I was feeling.

Don't you remember?

- I remember.

In spite of living in the same city

and having a phone...

You used to send me telegrams

to cheer me up.

Where did all those things

got vanished?

I am still ready to do all that.

But, when will you grow up?

We aren't college students anymore.

We are responsible for each other.

Do people stop loving

after marriage?

Don't stare like that.

Did you even think of us or try to

find out if we are dead or alive?

Don't speak rudely, mother.

Not one day has passed...

when I've not missed you.

You could have come home also.

How could I have?

Don't you remember what you and dad

said when you threw me out.

Your father's tyranny will be

the end of us all.

Lying in the hospital...

- What's happened to dad?

I am not the doctor.

We've got a lot of tests done, but...

These tests are for jaundice.

Mom, I want to see dad.

If you come, he will be pleased.

We have come to call you.

But, don't tell him that we met.

Adi, Suhani is here.

Hi. What happened?

How come you didn't go to work?

Dad is in hospital...

can we go and meet him?

It was you who said that we will

not keep any links with anyone.

Now, what happened?

- Yes, but he is serious.

He's in the Railway Hospital.

- Who told you?

He's got jaundice.

He cannot be treated there.

But, who told you? - Mom and Dina.

I met them in the train.

They know where we live

and where I work.

But, they didn't think it necessary

to tell me.

It's not that.

Why do you think like that?

I still remember my promise.

But you are forgetting yours.

He spent his entire life's savings

to make me a doctor.

What good is my being a doctor if...a

Dr. Suhani, if your education is

compelling you, then you may go.

Neither am I a doctor nor

am I compelled in any way.

Why are you being indifferent?

Other than the two of you...

I have no one.

We are the only ones they have.

Suhani, I have not forgotten

his slap till today.

If you want to go, you may.

How's your father?

How do I know?.

Didn't you go?

How could I? I had promised.

Then, break the promise.

Let's go tomorrow.

What if he says something again?

When I've been slapped by him,

how does a little scolding matter?

Let's go tomorrow.

Behave yourself in front of dad.

And... - I'm wearing this for your dad.

Go fast - I am sorry. I am sorry.

- Take her there quickly.

What...? - Go home.?

Don't touch him.

Let his soul rest in peace.

No child would've given so much

pain to the parents.

Now, take your husband and

leave our house.

Mother...s

Daddy...

All my hopes are now pinned

on the Sintel project.

If we lose that then, we'll

have to close the shop.

With all the overheads...

Now, stop it please.

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…
