That's why you think

this is not an actual problem.

I advise you to stay here one night.

Go out with LOTA party.

Sit out in the open amongst snakes,

scorpions and other animals.

And then you'll realize my problem.

See...she's openly describing

her deeds on television.

Keshav, do you think that

the government is responsible?

Honestly, we're to he blamed first.

The scam happened because

we didn't want a toilet.

We love our fields.

And the government distributed

free notebooks to the children...

...hut didn't tell them

what to write in them.

They built toilets,

but didn't teach anyone how to use it.

This is the government's

responsibility as well.

They only carried

out half of their tasks.

But the government has been

promoting this campaign a lot.

And built around 6 million

toilets in the last three years.

They built toilets..

..hut it's high time the government

made certain laws as well.

What laws?

Use toilets for defecating.

Keshav, you built

a toilet in your home.

Who broke that?

The men of our country feel really

proud to do it out in the open.

Some narrow-minded

guy broke my toilet.

So...

- Actually, it was my father.

So you mean to say you'll

never do it out in the open again.

Well, hack in the days

I would stand anywhere.

But now I'll only

stand up for a bathroom.

You must have faced a lot

of humiliation for this divorce.

If I make a mistake,

I'm hound to get insulted.

There must he a toilet in the house.

There must he a toilet

in the house for the women.

So that, men can stop

them from wandering outside.

Wonderful, madam. Such a twisted

question for such a simple answer.

Are you from foreign channel?

Real freedom isn't about

going out to defecate.

It's about going out

on your own free will.

But who will explain to these idiots?

Our fight is againstmthis.

Their views.

Their views.

But if you lose this fight,

you can lose your wife too.

Ican lose her in

the open jungle as well.

I would rather lose her like this.

It's quite simple, madam.

If you want your wife,

you got to have a toilet.

Jaya, who do you think

is responsible for this divorce.

The government or our tradition.

The women...who'll set

out again tomorrow at dawn.

Jaya from Sahrana village is still

steadfast on her decision of a divorce.

Will this affect the

government officials in anyway?

There's going to he a war.

All our past scams

will get exposed, Yadav.

Du Yll get it?

I guess even we'll have

to bathe out in the open now.

I can see stars in daylight, sir.

I told you before...

You should've carried

out a part of the work.

Now the CM's called for a meeting.

This is wrong, Swamiji.

This country will never progress.

What was the result of this movement?

Build toilets! Build toilets!

Calm down!

Our country is going backwards.

Well, there's been some

activity within the government.

From 11 months,

its come down to 10 months.

If the government functions any faster

then it will definitely collapse.

I'm a Brahmin too.

I'll have water as well as tea.

Yes, I'll get it.

Tell me something, Pandit.

Do you watch Sunny Leone's movies?

Radhe-Radhe.

Is this what you wanted to ask?

You've been living

alone for so many years.

I'm sure you watch it secretly.

This was expected from you.

One can see your values

reflecting in your daughter.

That's true.

We taught her to speak up,

instead of staying quiet.

Your values about entering

this house with the help of a lie.

The values of maligning the family honor

by giving an interview on television.

And complicating a

simple issue like a toilet.

Even you admit it's

an uncomplicated issue.

So build a toilet at home too.

Isee...

So you want us to build a toilet...

...in the same courtyard

where we Pray to 'Tulsi'.

Unbelievable, Panditji.

You Pray to the Ganga as well.

But don't you wash

your sins in it too?

You won't build a

toilet in your home...

...hut, you've turned the

entire country into a big loo.

You can open your zipper, or untie

your draw-strings wherever you like.

Change with time.

Change?

And forget our culture.

People like you have reduced

culture to just Sanskrit.

Joshi...we live for our culture...

...and we Pandits can

even die for our culture.

I know you got Japanese degrees...

...hut, have you ever

read the holy scriptures?

Lord Krishna addressed

a grave problem in Gita.

The world fights with each other but

only the brave fights with himself.

If you can conquer

over yourself, Pandit...

...then, you can save the children's

world from falling apart.

And remember...

If you change nothing,

nothing will chance.

Radhe-Radhe.

There's nothing more

we can do, Keshav.

We failed to rattle the government

or change father's opinion.

All our plans backfired.

Even our plans of getting

a divorce failed.

So what?

Tomorrow morning we'll go to the court

and withdraw our divorce petition.

We'll leave our home...

...and build our own little abode.

I cannot break your home, Keshav.

But I can break this marriage.

This isn'tjust my fight alone.

Every daughter,

every woman has her eyes on me.

If I give up now...

...no woman will ever

fight for her right again.

See...now you sound like a leader.

Sorry...

I couldn't he your wife.

You became my wife the day you served

father dinner after the entire fiasco...

...and even went out to the fields.

And todaymwhen you're

prepared to leave me...

...to bring a change in this country.

That's more like Keshav's wife.

And as far as our

divorce is concerned...

Give me your phone.

Here...

I've deleted your number.

I can even walk the gallows for you.

Divorce is a very small step.

See you tomorrow at the family court.

Radhe-Radhe.

Come on...I'll drop you home.

I swear I won't elope with you.

Come on.

"Quit smiling,

silly, or I'll fall in love."

"I used to feel...love's too

far-fetched for me..."

"...hecause I have no dreams."

"I am completely lost in your eyes."

"Like sandalwood dissolves in water."

"The heart's willing to do anything."

"Quit smiling,

silly, or I'll fall in love."

These days if there's an

argument the wife quits home.

Even if the husband's Hrithik Roshan.

You're absolutely right.

That Joshi's daughter didn't give up.

She's going to the court...

They might even get divorced.

Honestly speaking, her husband

really loved her. - Yes.

Didn't you see...he

tried his level best.

But to what avail?

Just another charade without a reason.

For such small things who creates

an issue. She only made a scene.

Who runs away from home and demands

divorce for such trivial issues?

I thought her demand was valid.

What did she ask for?

Poor thing wasn't used

to going out in the open...

...what else could she have done?

So now she can sit

in her toilet proudly.

And us?

We'll keep going out...like we do.

You know...what would've happened

if we had made the same demand?

Don't talk to me in Jaya's tone.

What happened?
