Make no promises
And should you make a promise...
never break it
Never must you
break a promise
Never must you
take someone's hand
But when you do...
you must never leave it
I wish I could fly
like those clouds...
I wish I could fly
like those kites
There will come this stranger who
will take you away as his bride
Every norm of society
will I break...
but I will not leave
my father's house
Defy destiny,
you mustn't
Remain quiet;
say nothing
Make no promises
If you do promise...
If you do make a promise,
Tarababu, the girls have grown up.
You run a school on
government sanction.
Your brother too does nothing.
You are surrounded by old debts.
You sing in every wedding.
Have you given although
to your daughters' marriage?
- What should I do?
- You have so many official contacts.
Use them.
The land of many landlords
is under dispute.
Make a killing. Earn something.
You always think like a broker.
I've often told you,
I'm an artist not a broker!
I know my art and will earn
without paying or receiving bribes.
Eat a carrot.
- Good day brother.
- Live long.
How are you? Hello.
- Yes?
- What's going on?
We have a contract for 100 acres of
land in Chamba. It's been 5years.
We've run around but the land
is still not in our possession.
It's not like the old times.
Everything changed when
the government changed.
We've already invested
Now if the government doesn't
let us embark on the project...
We'll suffer a loss
of6 billion!
Elder brother has come.
- Come here, my kids!
- Big Daddy is here!
- How are you?
- Very well.
- Hello, brother.
- Hello, brother-in-law.
- Did you like Chamba?
- There's something about it.
Yes.
And you, Janki...?
I won't say anything. This sister is
happy where her brother is happy.
Where is Manav?
- He is in Delhi.
- Why?
- Didn't he come with you?
- We did tell him to.
Said he'd reach here on his own.
- Alone.
- That's strange.
He's coming to India for the first
time and will come here on his own!
When he doesn't obey you,
Said he'd see India on the way.
The entire family is searching for
you and you're standing here! Come on
Keep the files in the car.
We have to go to the commissioner.
- Good morning uncle.
- Good morning.
Where were you? Any way now that
you're here, work on this project.
Your father has been waiting for you.
How would Manav know how a
father's soul pines for his son?
Welcome, sir.
It's all right.
You apologized and I accepted.
I know that, Your Highness.
I know what you will now say.
- What will I say?
- You'll say, Manav my son...
You should have thought
of yourself if not Daddy.
Such a long journey.
You've come to India from
London for the first time.
You could have got lost.
Somebody could pinch your pocket.
Somebody could have kidnapped you.
Then what would have happened?
But nothing of that sort happened.
Nothing happened, Dad.
- To tell the truth...
- I also know.
What Your Honour
is going to say.
You are going to say...
If you want to see India,
don't travel in a helicopter.
Sit in a second class
railway bogey and see.
Sit in ramshackle buses!
Walk through stuff y lanes!
Observe the Indian who is
not successful in anything.
Yet he smiles, sings, plays!
And Chamba is the best.
That is why I got you the latest
Digital Floppy camera from Singapore.
Take a look.
Brownie...
He missed you the most.
Go on.
He's very annoyed with you.
Did you follow what the
father and son spoke?
- You keep quiet!
- I am silent.
Mad at me?
I'm sorry I'm late.
Won't you forgive me?
Coming for a walk?
No...?
I'm leaving.
Come along if you want.
Shall we take a picture?
Only the minister can
approve this project.
Who can make him do it?
- Just one one, sir.
His childhood friend. Tarababu.
So call him over.
- He's a very self-respecting man.
I tried my best to do him in,
but he wouldn't relent.
Who ever you are...
wherever you are...
Wherever it be...
You are the spring.
My heart is restless
My eyes glued to the path
My heart is restless and my eyes
are on the path
Life is miserable...
no music appeals
So come over, my Love...
Let's make music
The rains have drenched me today
Drowned I am...
in my modesty
I have this feeling,
I can't understand
I have lost something...
but is it my heart?
Don't be quiet; say something;
sway with me...
Walk in step whith me...
I admit, I do not know you
I also know that
you do not know me
That we may get
to know each other...
Come closer to my heart...
for the sake of our hearts
I'm in the same state
as you are...
Come, Let's share our state
Hold the rope!
Tie it to your waist.
We'll pull you out.
Help! Help!
What a place to get introduced!
Can I take a picture of yours?
Just buy vegetables!
Uncle...
Brownie, have you ever
seen such a scene?
Neither is this the way to behave
nor is this civilised behaviour!
- You'll have to deal with me!
- What is the matter?
What is the matter! His son
was falling off the mountain.
My girls rescued him. The cheek
of him! He took their pictures!
Brigadier sir, if your daughter
is playing in the rain...
Bathing... and a strange boy
secretly takes her photographs...
What will you do?
- I'd shoot him!
- That's what I'm here for!
As if he's civilised!
Gate crashes uninvited into a party!
And with a stick in hand!
Isn't that like a bully?
Madam! You're in Chamba! You
maybe great in your own homes.
- Don't you dare oppose me!
- Sir, Tara...
I am the second brother of
this family, Deep Mohan.
If our child has made a mistake,
we apologise with folded hands.
Bring your son here.
When the elder of the family
are apologizing, forget the anger.
Today is our son's birthday.
Won't you bless him?
- Yes, fine...
- Son, greet uncle.
- Hello uncle.
- Give him a kiss. Come on...
Live long. But you must
explain to your son.
If he has taken any unflattering
picture, he must return it.
- Now I'll take leave.
No, I must move along.
He left his stick here.
- Good day. I'm Manav Mehta.
- Good day.
Your stick...
You left it at our home
Yes... l...
- So you're the prince who...
...erred by taking pictures.
I've come to you to
apologise for it.
You seem a good sort. Return
the pictures you'd taken to us.
Here you are.
What in the world is this?
I want the round thing you
put in the camera... reel...?
No, this is a floppy.
I have this camera wherein
you put in a floppy...
- It doesn't have the reel system.
- What?
I'll take a picture of yours.
Forget it...
You may keep this.
We won't understand computers.
- But henceforth you...
- There's no need to take pictures.
You are such beautiful people
that your picture is in my heart.
May I take leave? Good day.
He's a wonderful man.
These artists are made that way.
Emotional...
