She only brought

disgrace to our village.

Come on...serve dinner.

- I didn't cook dinner.

What do you mean

you didn't cook dinner?

If we eat, we'll have to go.

No food, no going out.

Have you lost your mind?

Actually, it all makes sense now.

Vimu...

- Who?

Oh, my...

- Mother!

Oh, my...

- Mother!

What happened?

What happened?

- I think I broke a hone.

But how did you fall down?

Someone spilled oil here.

- Oil?

I was going towards the field.

Quickly, take me to the field.

Hurry up... quickly. Pick me up.

Mother...

Mother... - No.. Idon't think

I can walk all the way to the field.

And I can't control it any longer either.

- Mother..

Quickly...lift me up.

- Mother"

Can Igo in there?

What are you thinking?

Your mother is dying!

Quickly...lift me up.

Mother, no.. No..

Lift me up.

Lift me up. Oh, God! Oh, God!

Careful.

Quickly, take me. Take me, son.

Take me quickly. Oh, God!

We can't defecate

out in the open!

We can't defecate

out in the open!

if Jaya Joshi gets a divorce...

...then, we'll all get a divorce.

We can't defecate

out in the open!

We'll fight. Take down our request.

This is not the way.

Why don't you understand?

This is not how you get a divorce.

I request you, please go away.

We also want a divorce.

- Just go from here.

We've all heard about

mass marriages...

...hut never about mass

divorce before today.

One reason; toilet.

This is a challenge to the government.

Verma.

- Yes, sir.

What is this?

Bureaucracy, sir.

From society welfare

committee to the village...

...the files have to

go through seven offices.

And they all have their...

Understood!

Verma, do one thing today.

Then buy seven locks...

...and lock all the

toilets in those offices.

Sir.. - No one will go

to the toilet for seven days.

Those who want to go will

have to find a solution himself.

But, sir..

Only the wounded knows the pain,

and no one else.

But, sir, how is that possible?

If our Prime Minister can ban notes

for the country's benefit...

...then we can close toilets too.

Yes, sir.

Jaya Joshi left her husband's

home on 15th February.

And today they are meeting

directly in the court.

And the reason for their separation

is the 3000 Cr toilet scam.

We've never had a divorce

in the last 1700 years.

If Lord Krishna returns to Radha...

...will Rukmini divorce Him?

Quarrels should he solved at home.

And not made a public spectacle.

- You're right.

No one's ever said that

we should use a toilet...

...then what is this feud all about?

I wish Keshav had understood

the chapter on Manusmriti...

...then he wouldn't

he facing this problem.

Seems like people are

against building toilets.

They believe it's

against their culture.

You tell me...

What about the Prime Minister's

Cleanliness Drive?

If we build a toilet at home

then how can we keep our homes clean?

So that's their opinion

about the Cleanliness Drive.

A village where toilets

are deemed unhygienic...

...are hound to have such divorces.

Hello.

Madam, sign on this urgently.

Madam...madam...

- Hold on.

Jaya...

- What is it?

Will it he easy for your daughter to

live in the village after this divorce?

Why?

Is she causing floods or doomsday?

No, I... - Did anyone in your

family ever have a divorce before?

Forget my family,

let's talk about the country.

Did anyone ever have

a divorce for a toilet?

My daughter will set an example.

Come along.

Do you think divorce is

the solution to this problem?

It is the solution to my problems.

One more question...

- That's enough... Come on, move aside.

Sir-sir...you tried your

level best to save your marriage.

But, if this is only

about a toilet then..

..why didn't you

go live with your wife?

Yes, that's a nice idea.

But I don't know how

to run from my problems.

Sir, it's not that sunny...

...yet you're wearing sunglasses.

Are you trying to hide your tears?

Look, madam,

everyone's blinded by fake pride.

And anyway, these are fake Rayhans.

But the world has

a real one on their eyes.

Are you going to challenge

the government after this?

It's yourjoh to blame

the government for everything.

You should take some

responsibilities yourself.

Keshav, are you sad that

your wife's leaving you?

No, I love it.

Now I'll get a new wife for myself.

Come on, that's enough.

- Sir, just one more question.

Sir.. Sir.. Please sir.

- That's enough.

I feel that everything will he fine.

They don't know how to talk.

I mean... - These people

are getting divorced as well.

Idon't know.

Radhe-Radhe.

- Greetings. Greetings.

We didn't have so many

guests even at our wedding.

I haven't seen our wedding video yet.

But our divorce is being broadcast

live on national television.

Fix your hair, sweetheart.

Quit smiling silly, I'll fall in love.

Time now for a small break.

On the other side of the break we'll

show you Jaya and Keshav's signatures.

Stay with us on Ahhi

Tak Channel, live.

After this divorce, the people

are going to divorce this government.

Because this is their biggest failure.

Judging by the size of this issue, this

was a controversy waiting to happen.

If what Keshav and Jaya are doing...

...ushers in a change

then it's always welcome.

You see, I was the first one

to report this news in my newspaper.

But I never thought it

would escalate to divorce.

It's all due to the narrow-mindedness

of these ignorant.

But brother Keshav tried his best.

Jaya and Keshav.

Do you two still stand

firm on your decision?

Yes...

No toilet, no marriage.

Sir, this letter has arrived

from the CM's office.

The court rejects Jaya

and Keshav's plea for divorce.

The government has

accepted Keshav's request...

...for building a

toilet in his village.

The construction begins tomorrow morning

on the ground outside the village.

Until then...the villagers

will he facilitated with porta-loo.

Why are you sulking?

- Nothing.

Congratulations, brother.

The file which went nowhere in 12

months got sanctioned in 12 minutes.

And do you know what

the Chief Minister did?

He locked all the toilets

in every government office.

That's when these officers

learned their lesson.

Remember what you said

at Mr. Mathur's office.

"Until the problem

doesn't get personal..."

"...no lane's willing to fight,

find a solution."

You were absolutely right, brother.

What's wrong now, Keshav.

We found a solution

and did the impossible.

We got the toilet.

Jaya, I promised to give

you your personal toilet.

I couldn't do it.

Maybe not personal,

but at least there's a toilet.

Iam happy.

- I couldn't change father's view either.

I can't take you hack in that house.

Keshav!

You'll always he a numhskull.

You fought against the entire world...

...and now you say

you won't take her home.

Daughter-in-law, let this he.

The fake charades,

fake thumb, fake pride.

Leave all this behind

and then step inside the house.

Is he sick?

- I think so.

I am not sick, son.
