Fine, but I don't want to stand

out in the open like you guys and pee.

Are you listening to his taunts?

You take the necessary action,

Inspector.

He has tainted my religion.

By bringing this sin home?

They have been committing

the sin till now, Inspector.

What did his

daughter-in-law do wrong?

Only animals

defecate out in the open.

Isee...

I raised him into this

37-year-old man that he is now.

And now you think it's wrong

to defecate out in the open.

You're right.

You raised me to he a man.

That's why I never

thought about women.

Let him stay in jail.

Grandma. Grandma, come in. Please.

Come in. Please.

- I will never cross this threshold!

Ijust came here to say..

..that you've raised your

daughter with some great values.

Keshav stole a loo for her.

And now he's locked up in jail,

for stealing.

And this princess...

She's sitting in her home,

over a loo.

Unbelievable, grandma.

You're saying this

even though you're a woman.

I'm saying this because I am a woman.

We've to compromise all the time.

That's the plight of women.

But she left her home.

That's not the way.

This never happened

in our village before.

Out on yourjoyride again.

The men can do it

right in their backyard.

But we're women.

We've to work

harder for everything.

Isn't it?

We're expected to

make all the compromises.

Because that's what

our culture teaches us.

Control your urges.

Wait for nightfall.

Men can do it during the day,

but you got to do it in the dark.

But stay quiet!

If men look at you with lusty

eyes then just cover your faces..

"but stay quiet!

And when some pervert

flashes his torch at you...

...then cover your faces,

rather than covering your backside!

So that he can go

to his friends and say...

"I caught a glimpse,

but don't know who it was."

Every day they kept flashing

their headlights at you...

...hut it never struck you.

You're happy because LOTA

party has a new agenda to discuss!

This is okay Neelam.

If you're having periods,

stay out of the temple.

If there's a pyre burning

we stay out of the crematorium.

And if we want to relieve

ourselves go outside the village.

Why?

Why make these rules?

Why only for us?

It was their fault...hut now,

it's our fault!

What do you want, Jaya?

Do you expect us to

leave our home like you?

We don't have a toilet

even in our parents home.

Idon't know.

Ionly found a

solution to my problem.

But the rest of you don't

even realize that you're in trouble!

Someday... Someday you will

he reduced to ashes in these urns.

Even now you're trapped

in it while you're alive!

Serve water to your

husband in this urn...

...and we'll see...whether

they make a scene, or not.

Come, sir.

- Please.

Brother.

- Hello, sir.

Yeah...

Jaya.

Sir...

- Yes, thank you.

This was your

solution to my problem?

Do me a favor, Keshav.

No more quick-fixes for me.

Forgive me.

Don't say that, Jaya.

Strange, you're hailing

out the guy who stole your loo.

No thief in the world

will steal a toilet, Inspector.

Isee...

Okay.

Let Keshav go.

- Thank you, sir.

Come, brother.

I guess it's going to rain.

Let it rain, Naru.

Even the Lord's taunting me now.

Guess you're drunk...

you're not in your senses.

I am drunk...and even

more determined now.

Mom.

- Yes.

Where's my silver-waistband?

Wow...

If Keshav sees you today

he will take you hack home.

Let him come.

Iwill break

his head with the stick.

Listen...

He isn't asking for dowry.

Or raised his hand on you?

He loves you, think about it.

End this right

here and go hack home.

You've made things more

complicated than it is.

Complicated?

Bravo, Vidya. Bravo.

Do you know what happened

with the kids in Badhai?

Poor kids went out in the evening.

They were raped and

hung from the tree.

And a 17-year-old girl

in Jharkhand, committed suicide.

Why? Because her father

didn't build a toilet.

God forbid if something

like that happens with our child...

...will you still say that

she's complicating things.

You women are

your own worse enemies.

Like they say, Vidya...

Don't wait till it's too late.

It's a good thing that

our child took this step.

When Keshav shows up today...

...hit him hard

on my behalf as well.

Forget it, grandpa.

I am not even going to look at him.

"I crave for your glimpse..."

"...and finally I realized."

"I want to rub the mud under your

feet on my head and sanctify my sins."

"You didn't invite me...hut

I still came down your lane."

"You can punish me

for all unfair treatment."

"You didn't invite me...hut

I still came down your lane."

"You can punish me

for all unfair treatment."

"Don't spare

your beloved today..."

"...hecause he never learns."

"Your beatings feel so sweet."

"Come dear and hit me hard."

"Come dear and hit me hard."

"You're the only one I love."

"Come dear and hit me hard."

"As my veil fluttered..."

"...you colored it with your love."

"...you colored it with your love."

"When I look into your eyes..."

"...my eyes were overwhelmed."

"...they were overwhelmed."

"My tear-filled eyes

couldn't sleep all night."

"They are crazy about to you."

"They are crazy about to you."

"When I heard your sweet talks..."

"...my heart was hooked on."

"My heart was hooked on.."

"I came to you leaving

the world behind."

"I severed all ties

just to he with you."

"Chant Radhe-Radhe-Radhe-Radhe."

"Chant Radhe-Radhe-Radhe-Radhe."

"Chant Radhe-Radhe-Radhe-Radhe."

"I've forsaken everything for you,

now punish me in any way you want."

"We're incomplete

without each other."

"Chant Radhe-Radhe-Radhe-Radhe."

"Chant Radhe-Radhe-Radhe-Radhe."

"Pray to your God for me."

"I've let go of this shield."

"Color me red..."

"...only you can set

things right for me."

"Come dear and hit me hard."

"Come dear and hit me hard."

"You're the only one I love."

"Come dear and hit me hard."

This is really humiliating, brother.

Stop acting like some Romeo.

Let's go inside..

It's your in-laws home.

Throw your weight around.

How can I show my face?

I made a big mistake.

Well...you try talking

to sister-in-law.

I'll wait for you in that corner.

And whoever hurled

that balloon at me...

...I'll show him when

he comes to my village.

I am keeping my mouth shut because

this is my sister-in-law's home.

Otherwise I would've showed you

how we play Holi.

That won't do any good.

Apply some dirt.

Apply some dirt!

Apply some s instead.

You're never going

to move ahead of that.

You claim to have

the best GK...

...hut never use it in real life.

Will dirt cure your wounds?

But it will definitely

cause infection.

You've all made a fine mess

in the name of tradition and customs.

When in trouble, find an easy way out.

Change others, but not yourself.

Since the time I was horn,

I've always used a toilet, Keshav.

Why should I change my habit now?

Listen...it's really painful,

isn't it?

You're the one who got beaten up.

But I gave you the wounds.
