Toilet - Ek Prem Katha Page #10

Register a PIL against

the Village Council...

...that you want a

toilet in your village.

Well, finally after all these years...

...at least someone thought

that toilet is a problem.

Actually sir, until the

problem doesn't get personal...

...no lane's prepared to fight...

or find a solution.

Sir, can I come in?

- Come.

Uncle, show me your face.

- Yes.

Uncle.

- Taking my picture. Wait...

Taking my picture. Wait...

- Uncle.

I took this picture at the turn.

This is a barber-shop,

this one is a tailor-shop.

This one is a cowshed,

Isn't this what the lawyer said?

Sir, I've brought all the proof.

What should we do next?

This will get the job done.

I'll get a sanction from the government

get a toilet built in Mandgaon

Okay?

- Yes.

It will take 11 months.

Well, that's almost a year.

It's the government...

...works at its own pace.

All these years you

lived without a toilet.

Another yea r. Right.

I can live without a

toilet but without my wife.

Remember who's the villain,

in this case, Keshav.

You're challenging our culture.

Understood!

And it's not easy to win over culture.

This is a difficult trial.

In this country, fighting

against culture is not an easy task.

Brother, I have an idea now...

...what this culture is

everyone's ranting about.

Who is it?

Culture is something

no one's seen or heard of...

...yet, everyone's clinging on to it.

Culture is what makes us put donation

boxes in temples and mosques...

...hut makes humans defecate

out in the open like animals.

That's culture.

[Chanting Prayer]

What is he doing?

This is a pandit's home after all.

So veneration is a must

before starting any good deed.

For the sake of your happiness.

What good deed, son?

Laying the foundation stone, grandma.

I'm building a toilet in our home.

Now, change your thinking, father.

And stop peeing out in the gutter.

Okay, son.

You've crossed all limits.

Do as you please.

I won't eat a morsel of food now.

Great, no food, no stress.

Radhe-Radhe.

Leave the bathroom uncovered.

Why?

Are you going to

bury Anarkali in here?

Go on...hurry up.

Father...

Father, your meal..

"Defecating in the

open is humiliating..."

"...that's what culture tells us."

"Cover yourself till your waist..."

"...and sit out in the open."

"Sister-in-law sets

out at crack of dawn..."

"...while the boys are

waiting on the way to ogle."

Hey...

Leave him Keshav.

What are you doing? Leave me.

Keshav. Leave me.

Get lost...

Get lost...

Get lost...

Get lost...

Don't come in front of me.

What happened, brother?

- Naru, the calamity's been averted.

A Brahmin's home was

saved from getting tainted.

Nothing is ever going to change here.

If you get hurt, apply dirt.

If Y0" get a sprain, apply s

If shitting and toilets

are such a had thing...

...then why did God give us a stomach?

No stomach, no loo.

Headman, open your

scriptures and tell me...

Is it our moral obligation

to make a spectacle out of our wife...

...or does sh out in

the open give us salvation?

Tell me!

Savri...you don't feel

embarrassed having six kids.

But you feel embarrassed

to talk about toilets.

People like them associate

shame with religion.

You people.

You should he ashamed.

Panditji...you were so embarrassed...

...to read about your

daughter-in-law in the newspaper.

But no shame in peeing

out in the gutter.

It's quite obvious

that the women are fleeing.

We're stuck in this

blind game of religion.

Pretty soon...no one will ever

give you their daughter's hand again.

Everyone will die as bachelors.

Go on...

Go home... celebrate.

Tell stories to your children...

About how we hravehearts

broke Keshav's Taj Mahal!

Go on... tell them!

Grandma...

Grandma... set the plate for your son.

He'll break his fast today.

He just broke the entire house.

He broke everything.

"I feel so unfortunate."

"I don't deserve you"

"Nothing's more..."

"complicated than love."

Yeah, Jaya. I tried everything.

We must wait for 11 months.

No, Keshav.

Don't call me again.

And if you think I am joking,

then don't he mistaken.

I have an idea.

I'll get the Goswami Road fixed.

I'll get it fixed from my quota.

Look what's published

in the newspaper, village-head.

Calamity has hefallen on our village.

Divorce for a toilet.

Our village has been jinxed.

This is a complete disaster.

Our village will he disgraced

in the entire district.

Too much education isn't good either.

This is really had.

Brother Keshav is doomed.

Where can he go?

He can't stay in this village anymore.

There's been no divorce in

our village for the last 1700 years.

This is really terrible, Panditji.

What can I say?

I never imagined I'll

ever hear this word in my life.

She wants a divorce.

Does she think it's a joke?

Sir, isn't he the same

Keshav who came to meet you?

No, he's the same 'Keshav'

who started Mahabharata.

That 'Keshav' matter

is getting a lot of attention.

We're here to interview his wife.

I'll tell you once I get there.

Keep the bathroom in the background.

This story is about

Jaya from Sahrana village...

...who is going to divorce her husband

just 6 months after their wedding.

Reason; toilet.

Jaya, are you actually divorcing

your husband for a toilet?

Don't you think this

reason is good enough?

You've been here since morning.

You came all the way from Delhi.

Did you use the bathroom?

Actually,

we have a vanity van, which has a...
