teach a lesson to arrogant Ravana...

Tail...tail...

- Mad man, you're really burning it down.

Run...escape, he has burnt it...

Where are you?

Coming...coming...

Apply on my back.

Why did you go away?

Okay.

Greetings sir.

What brings you here?

Why are you doing it yourself sir?

Busy with work, in future one must

do it all by himself.

Well said sir.

Sir, you won't face it sir.

- Why?

Leave it, l'll give you

a good oil massage.

Will you do it?

You know to do it?

You know?

- Why not sir?

You can't do properly anything.

- How can l not do this?

Not bad...

your hands are magical...

You're doing good.

lt's cool!

- What do you think of me?

Sir, that's my hand.

Hey, that's my back,

not your washing stone.

He's tough, he gets carried

away easily.

Who?

- He!

That's why people say washerman

is better than educated man.

But not him.

Yes sir, he got ruined the day

he put grease paint.

l got completely ruined

because of her, sir.

Lord!

Hey, you're pushing me

falling for her.

That's the way l'm ill treated here.

People are jealousy of me.

Others get good saris and

this cheap one for me.

What can they do for

your incompetence?

l would also be good if my husband

is some clerk or doctor.

Why are you talking so harsh

on a festival day?

Truth!

l know about everyone here,

son is relative but not his wife,

showing partiality,

they gave a cheap sari because

l'm a farmhand's wife.

Elder son bought three saris

for festival,

l sent it to three daughters-in-law,

l didn't show any partiality.

l too didn't buy different ones,

all three are same variety, mother,

same price, hand woven saris.

Show him the price tags to your uncle,

same quality and same price.

Had it been in the same colour,

there would be no trouble.

This differences wouldn't crop up.

Go in.

Creating trouble on festive day,

what would my brother and mother think?

Wear it.

Till now we managed this family

by writing accounts and farming activities,

with low salary and low yields,

it couldn't even cover the interest,

so l've leased out the land this year,

sold off the cattle to settle small loans.

How to run this family?

- Nothing to worry,

Mukund has started working,

with high salary,

l think we are in for good days ahead.

Okay, l don't have any objection.

Hubby!

What?

Lower your voice.

Pickles, take it carefully.

Don't touch it with wet hands.

Savories and sweets,

these are for munching.

Have you kept anything for

other family members?

Shut up, they are eating

like bandicoots here.

Anyway l'm not lucky to be with you,

atleast eat sweetmeats prepared

by me thinking about me.

Whatever l do eat or

anything l'll think...- What?

Lord!

Always worried about home,

kitchen, and household work.

l came here thinking

this is heaven with a lovely wife.

This is hell!

l'll not stay here for a minute also.

Are you also leaving?

- Yes brother.

You said you've a week's time.

l must find a house to live.

- Right.

Going to new place,

a day earlier the better.

l don't understand your attitudes,

jobs and leaving home.

Parting away.

Can we avoid after

accepting a job, mother? Bye mother.

lt's time to leave.

Venkat hasn't come to take luggage,

how will it reach station?

Will your journey stop

if he doesn't come?

We are two, we'll carry it.

Are you ready?

- Ready.- Carry it.

Carry under arms.

Guru! Yenki is here.

Junior, ironed clothes.

l'm busy, go inside

and collect it.

Your clothes.

When did you come in?

- Behind you.

You look tired!

- Tired? l'm fine.

Give me your hand.

- You want to see? See.

Why are you shivering?

- Shivering? Who?

Hey junior!

Why are you nervous?

- Nothing.

Where's my Yenki?

- How do l know?

She didn't come here.

How come? She said she's

coming here with clothes.

May be gone to the

neighbour's house.

What?

Junior!

- What?

Come here for a minute.

- Why?

Nothing, want to tell you something.

Come dear.

- What man?

What's that shining in the corner?

- Which corner?

My tuft!

My tuft!

Don't stop me.

Why are you beating him?

Come hubby.

Your life is saved,

trying to act smart with me.

Guru, he's gone.

l got the stick.

Thank God! l was scared to death

fearing he'll come in.

She didn't allow him to come in.

By the way did you...

Very smart girl!

Never let me touch her.

lt's decided, she's on our side.

Why are you also joining me?

Guru, she's on your side.

Don't get smart with me.

She doesn't know English.

My dear...

Doctor, save me!

- Who are you?

You must come immediately, sir.

l'm getting late to hospital,

l can't come now.

Very serious sir,

if you delay a life may go, sir.

Get into the car.

You can go.

Where's the patient?

Before you!

Your suffering from?

You're the doctor,

you should tell that.

No fever.

- But l feel temperature.

Since when?

- Since my eyes saw you.

Clever girl!

- lf you catch it.

How many times l told

you to be careful?

Why would she be careful

when her husband earns well?

She'll get new sari

if old one is burnt.

Not only get new silk saris

but tie down hubby too.

Oh God! Don't know what she used

to prepare those savories?

lt's stinking!

Just now she ate food,

already munching hot dogs.

What sort of a woman she is!

Any letter atleast today, Ramu?

- No, mother.

lt's many days since he left,

he said he gets Rs.1500 salary.

Though high salary, you'll get it

after a month only, mother.

Moreover you've to pay in

advance three months rent in city.

He has to buy other things too.

Moreover my brother is

a government doctor.

Hat, boots, suits,

needs many things.

Can't he write about taking a house

on rent and sending his wife there?

What if we write it ourselves?

Sister-in-law, mother wants me

to write a letter to brother.

l can't write properly.

Write something to move his heart.

Write about pangs of separation...

What's that son?

- Nothing, mother.

Seeking blessings, l write this...

Old model letter.

Elder brother-in-law didn't come.

Younger brother-in-law...

Okay...okay...

next house maters...

Everything as usual.

Send money to mother-in-law

immediately.

l humbly request to pardon

if there are any mistakes.

From your humble wife.

Taking my life.

Need urgently!

lf not l'll lose my respect.

l'll return it in near future.

Yours lovingly.

How much?

- Give her.

Take it.

Your husband wrote a letter, right?

What did he write?

Did he buy any jewels for you?

Will all husbands be

like our husbands?

Educated and earning husband.

Yes, one can save or buy jewels

only when he's earning.

ls it chain or bangle?

No, he has bought a golden sickle

to cut my throat.

Sickle? How arrogant!

Are you making fun of my husband

because he works with sickle?

Sister!

Though your husband earns well,

how dare you call my husband names.

Some earn and some save.

Who is saving? What am l saving?

Why are you getting angry?

Clever ones are indeed saving.

We are not smart, that's we spend
