Vivah
Sometimes I pause to ponder upon
the peculiar world of daughters,
from homes they're born into,
reared and raised,
their ties they'll uproot, to
transplant themselves elsewhere
To a home she belongs, she will
estrange herself and..
make a stranger's home, her own
The little buds, before our eyes,
will blossom into mothers of mankind
Any daughter's father, be it some
rich man in faraway lands,
or some trader of fruit.. Iike
myself here in Madhupur,
all face similar fate
Raising so lovingly, our daughter,
so beloved..
blessing her every growing
moment and then one day..
..sending her away, forever
All said and done..
daughters will always be daughters,
like my Poonam
I nicknamed her..
Bitto
She's the only child of my late
brother. My brother and his wife died,
this unique gift, they left to me
Poonam grew up with
my daughter Chhoti
more like siblings
But my wife Rama, she never
took kindly to Poonam,
because in appearance, Poonam
is prettier than Chhoti
In Rama, Poonam always
sought a mother..
but the motherless child would
never find a mother's love
Mr Accountant, let her finish
counting, put it right back!
All it took..
was only one loving glance
to make her laugh
And my poems,
she would sing along
For the little bridegroom,
and his lovely bride..
a pretty palanquin
is waiting outside
A pretty palanquin,
waiting outside
But my little girl's
always little to me..
..never old enough to marry, you see
She isn't old enough
to marry, you see
She's my bride, I'm
taking her! He says
She's my bride,
I'm taking her now,
Dauntless bridegroom
has sworn a vow
Now it's the daughter's turn to say,
Daddy, why are you in a
hurry to send me away?
So what did the daughter
have to say?
Daddy, why are you sending me away?
With so much love.. a daughter
cares for her parents..
..her siblings, everyone
How dismal are some thoughts of men
who think daughters are burdensome
Both my daughters have come of age..
..and it's time to think
of Poonam's wedding
Relax! You're in the
world's narrowest lane,
and in the middle of the world's
slowest wedding procession. See you..
The world's dullest
rocket, dull-est!
Radhey - Radhey (blessed be
the name of Holy Radha)
Mr Accountant, Radhey Radhey
Radhey Radhey.. Oh.. is
that you, Mr Bhagat?
It's been.. years!
Is Mr Krishnakant at home?
- Yes, welcome
Madhupur remains untouched,
it's just the way I left it,
the same narrow lanes and slow
wedding processions and..
pervasive fear, of shooting rockets.
- So true
Sir..
Yes?
Mr Bhagat is here
Mr Bhagat..!
Bhagat, why did you
take the trouble..
..one call and I would've
been in Delhi
When you and your wife can travel to
Delhi to place orders for jewelry,
then why can't I come to Madhupur
to deliver them?
Of course.. thank you
When I lived here, amongst you folks,
the time of our lives we had..
you should remind him more often
Sister-in-law, how's the knee?
Improving
A look at the design of these
bangles will heal it
And I know, you've a
keen eye for jewelry
Over years, bit by bit,
jewelry must be bought..
..for the day when daughters marry
Giving daughters away in marriage,
is said to be the most sacred act
When a father sees his daughter
standing before him..
..resplendent in bridal finery,
there is a sense of fulfillment
Water
Bless you
Krishnakant, isn't she
Poonam, your Bitto?
Well, you've made her out, you
saw her when she was so little
It was intuition..
She's about to graduate in commerce,
she takes care of my accounts
But I've toiled in vain to craft
such exquisite jewelry
She is so beautiful.. who
will look at my jewels!
Chhoti.. Chhoti
Aunty, I'll fetch
her (Aunty.. Aunt)
Sister, what a cool song.. please
join me (Sister.. Sister)
dancing and not studying,
you know what's to happen?
Nothing, you always save my skin
Get dressed, we've a guest downstairs
God! Guests come for Babuji and Maa
makes me do the make-up drill..
and before I'm down,
the guest is gone
You're far better off Sister,
Maa tells you nothing
Sorry Sister.. Maa tells
you nothing at all
You chatter much too much to give
anyone else even a say.. move
Why weren't you ready?
And no face pack even today?
I disapprove of all this..
and stop showing your teeth
In front of the guest, walk properly
Madhupur's rabri, the
world's best rabri!
Krishnakant, I beg
to be excused now
Sister-in-law, may both your
girls marry..
..the world's best sons-in-law, soon
You have my best wishes. - Thank
you Uncle, for making Maa smile
Rama, time for me
to go to the temple
The sermon is to begin
Uncle (Uncle)
He always forgets
Uncle.. do visit us again
She cares for the smallest
of my needs,
more like a mother
Krishnakant, you wondered how
I recognized Poonam. Fact is..
there's much talk in our
social circles about..
..her beauty and her
beautiful nature
You must have received several
proposals for matrimony?
Yes, but times are changing,
even values are changing,
good proposals are far too few
For Poonam, I seek a home where
her values will be respected
Radha and Krishna's light divine
bathes all there is in Universe
Yet devotion inspires, this
worshiper of Love..
to light this lamp in
heartfelt prayer
O'Krishna and Radha..
Krishna and Radha, O'divine come
unto us, bless this home of mine
Please accept our invitation,
all we seek is Your love
Krishnakant, I have in mind,
a boy for Poonam..
a nice, handsome boy..
from an excellent family
You've heard of Mr Harishchandra..
..of Harishchandra group
of industries, Delhi?
Who does not know him? He's one
of the luminaries in our society
He has scaled peaks of prosperity,
yet he is firmly rooted in simplicity
He's a very open-minded person
For Poonam..
I'm suggesting Prem, Mr
Harishchandra's younger son
I cannot even dream of an alliance
with so high and mighty a family
Are the sons of the high and
mighty to go unmarried?
Which family doesn't need
a good daughter-in-law?
But..
- No excuses
Mr Harishchandra is searching
for a good daughter-in-law
A very good daughter-in-law,
is what I'll suggest to him.
Now, Poonam's photo
Will you give me, or not?
- I'll get it
Look Maa, loads of face
pack. Happy now?
Sister, snap me a photo. I want
to send it to the zoo
Oh come on, Maa
Babuji sends Sister's photo to Delhi,
can't I send mine even to a zoo?
Maa, can I tell Sister about
the Delhi-wallah boy?
I don't like these cheap antics
Who's this guy from Delhi?
Why should I tell?
Babuji.. Babuji (Father)
- Listen!
Stop!
Look..!
Chhoti.. no sparing you!
Babuji look! Sister is nagging me..
it's one question again and again
When will the boy say
yes, for marriage!
What! Chhoti!
Come here
Bitto
With much hope, Mr Bhagat has
taken your photo to Delhi
