precious than diamonds and jewels,

precious than King's crown,

precious than life, that which is

most valuable for a woman,

most holy thing for her,

l'm pawning it with you.

lt's valuable only when women wear it.

l can give only this for it.

Young maiden has appeared

before you like a lightning...

My heart is on fire with your sight,

what am l to say about it?

l heard your name

day before yesterday....

Met you yesterday...

l gave myself to you today,

trusting you, mother promise...

Our hearts have met casually

and become a great pair...

When you look into my eyes,

bashfulness takes over me...

l'm trembling like you've

kissed my cheeks...

O my man! l can't hold

away myself from you...

Brother-in-law is here.

What a surprize!

Remembered your wife atlast.

My daughter returned home sick

and weak in year after marriage.

Are you coming from home?

l left home long back,

l went in search of a job.

Your slippers say that loudly.

Son-in-law's position

hasn't change a bit.

Please come in.

Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

No medicine for fever,

not even gruel to eat,

nothing to cover also...

Sister-in-law!

- Coming.

Elder sister-in-law!

- Coming...

What's it?

- Give me Rs.10.

You're asking as if you gave me.

Not for household expenses,

mother is down with fever,

l want to buy a shawl, please give.

l don't have money.

- Uncle, here's money.

Uncle...you brat! Have money?

Why are you beating him, sister-in-law?

Everyone here know where's the money.

Will you give it on your own

or shall l take it myself?

How dare you threaten me?

Stay in your limits.

That's my brother's money, he too has

the responsibility to look after mother.

ls he the only son?

She has three more sons.

Take care of her

or conduct obsequies!

You sold off jewels given

to younger sister-in-law,

if you've any shame or sense,

will you save stealthily

what's common to all the family,

what will you do with it

after everyone's gone?

will you take it with you?

Ramu, mind your words.

l'm telling you the truth,

l would've done this long back if mother

and sister-in-law hadn't stopped me,

you were stashing away

every penny here,

and younger sister-in-law sold off

all her jewels for the family.

Great chaste lady!

- Sister-in-law!

She's a bad omen, the day

she came here, we hit bad time.

Sister-in-law, mind your words.

Bad mouth, l'll take it,

l'll not take a word against her.

Will you behead me?

- Sister-in-law!

Not just one,

l'll abuse her 100 times.

She's a bad lady that's why

her husband left her.- Sister-in-law!

How dare you raise hand

on your sister-in-law!

l wish you weren't my son.

- Mother!- Mother?

lf you were to qualify

to call me like that,

fall at her feet and

seek her forgiveness.

Sister-in-law, forgive me.

Words and deeds are quite different.

They will threaten you.

You live alone here.

Who will bother if anyone kills you?

You're right!

There's only one way to stop

such incidents happening again,

nothing...if entrances to home

are different, you're safe.

Let your brother-in-law come.

- lt's not good to wait till then.

lf you put a thatch wall,

the troubles will come down.

Okay.

But...

Do it fast.

- Stop it.

You brat!

What are you watching? Do it fast.

You're the eldest daughter-in-law,

are you taking the fight to streets?

O god! Have you left me

to see this day too?

How long will you ake?

Make it fast.

Don't know who cast

an evil eye on our home?

lf we keep quiet,

they will go to any length.

l'll finish it today once for all.

lf you take a step further

but on my dead body only.

Mother!

- Mother-in-law!

lf you listen to bad advice,

you'll always hit bad time...

lf there are walls inside a home,

it's bad for people in it...

They will take to the bad ways

falling down from morals...

They will wipe out a heaven

with their own legs...

Family...a broken family...

Family becomes a dark home

like hearts plunged into darkness...

Though we wish to live together,

some couldn't tolerate it,

l want to fight it out, but mercy,

relationship is stopping me.

Calm down.

We are facing this day because

of taking it silently, sister-in-law,

silence has broken

your family life too.

What can you do for my ill fate?

Talking about fate is helplessness.

l'll bring back brother

and unite you with him.

After that l'll be with my mother.

Let anything happen.

Mother-in-law!

Mother-in-law!

Uncle!

Mother may overhear.

Kittu, l'm going to city.

Uncle, mother has locked from outside.

Open it, l'll also come with you.

l'm not that lucky to take you.

But l promise to bring a lot of

chocolates and biscuits for you from city.

l don't want all that, l want only you,

l'll also come with you.

Mother is coming.

Bye Kittu.

- Uncle!

Uncle! Uncle!

What's this sir?

Nothing, l'm going to city.

- City?- Yes.

To bring back my brother.

l came to inform you.

Walk to city?

How far is it?

Just 300 miles only.

This is too much! Wait!

How much you have?

- Do l've anything you don't know?

Listen, he's going to city.

Only this much.

- Wait.

Check if there's anything more.

- First send him.

Please accept this sir.

What's this?

- Taking a long journey sir.

For expenses on the way.

- No...

Please don't say no, little help.

Come back victoriously sir.

Bye Yenki.

- Bye sir.

One ticket to city.

Pay another 75 paise.

Ticket rates have been raised.

Raising charges for falling trains.

Okay, give ticket upto that amount only.

But you returned change.

Train will not stop in the

station for this money,

charges are for the station train stops.

Till which station this ticket is valid?

- Tada.- Tada!

As Brahmam foretold,

times have indeed changed.

So you're not a boy but a girl.

Good, pant...shirt...hat...very nice.

Who are you?

- My name is Ramu.

Ramu? ls it Garden Ramu or Goon Ramu?

This is not a film, girl.

'Actor Par Excellence' Ramu.

lf you can help, do it

or else take a long walk.

What? Take a long walk?

Going away after a girl ask for help.

Girl, vehicles are like this only,

it's vehicle if it runs

or else just a piece of junk.

ls it bullock to cajole to run again?

There's only one way out.

Push it. lf you're ready, l'm ready.

Please do it sir.

- Then, close it.

How can you push?

Sit in and hold on steering.

Will you push my weight too?

When l can push a big car,

you're nothing. Get in.

Shut the door.

lt's very slim like a flag pole.

Give it push boy!

What a funny thing!

When it moves it's a car,

if not just a piece of junk...

lt moves at great speed

raising a lot of dust...

lt's sound and blaring horns

tear the ear drums...

To hell with it!

lf a nail pricks and

deflates the tyre...

lt stays put in one place,

refusing to move...

People who can't walk

have to face this fate...

Singles without a partner

have to face this flak...

This journey is unpredictable...

this car is a piece of iron...

O girl!

Though bought paying high price,
