Welcome to Sajjanpur Page #9

But if you have to do it then the dog...

...should've been born on a Saturday.

Oh God! Now where

would I find such a dog?

Listen, many people come to you.

Why don't you help me?

Ask around whether they

have a dog born on a Saturday.

Ya Sure... I will put another table

here and open a side business!

I write letters for people.

It's not my job to find cats and dogs.

Aunt, my dog is black and white.

Puthru! - But was he born on a Saturday?

I wouldn't know.

My mother-in-law may know...

Alright then, you ask and

you too ask around.

Aunt, don't hassle me with this.

If my daughter comes here, I beg of you...

keep your mouth sealed

...like a sealed envelope.

She has given me a lot of trouble.

Letter writer! Was my mother here?

From your face it looks like

she was and you are lying.

Why are you shaking your head?

Is your mouth sealed?

I know you write letters for

my mother, don't you?

All of you are hand-in-glove.

Is my life, not a life?

Get married and leave my job!

God! She's one up on her mother!

Mother, wouldn't he have

got the letter by now?

Who knows? Mumbai is

so far away. It takes time.

Then how long before I get the reply?

I don't think he'll reply.

Bansi has forgotten us.

- Why do you say that?

I feel his reply will

come in a day or two.

Look, even the crow is cawing.

Four years have passed listening

to the cawing of the crow.

Don't say that.

Mahadev has written such a nice letter...

...I feel instead of replying,

he may come himself.

Brother Gaya, what happened?

I don't know.

What happened?

- I don't know.

Let's take a look.

Daughter-in-law,

why are you sitting like that?

Get up. Comb your hair.

And go and meet Mahadev.

He is a good man.

He'll give the right advice.

Ok, I'll look to the fields.

How are you?

Why are you crying?

Let's go inside. If someone

sees us they will spread rumors.

Aunt is not home?

Look, I feel he is not a good man.

If he was a good man he

would have surely replied.

Right?

Forget him!

Don't worry!

I'm here.

I'll take care of you.

Oh God!

Sir!

- What are you doing?

He's my father.

No! No! It's alright.

So, he's your father.

- Yes.

I am happy you've found your father.

He writes letters.

Sit down.

- You too sit down. - Yes.

You are great!

- No! No!

Tell me

- I've read in newspapers that...

...the circuses can't keep tigers.

Whips can't be used on race horses.

A snake charmer can't keep snakes

And street performers can't

keep monkeys or bears.

If you separate the snake from the snake

charmer then what will he do?

Who? The snake?

Not the snake, the snake charmer.

The snake can never be

separated from Bholenath!

He can only wander away

to change his skin.

Sir, don't refuse.

- What is it?

Pure honey from Chitrakoot.

It will increase your sperm.

Hail Bholenath!

Let's go!

Mahadev, here's a letter for Kamla.

Give it to her if she comes.

I'm going to the city for

a couple of days. - Okay.

Increases... It's honey.

Mother gave it to me.

Aunt!

Where is aunt?

She's in the fields.

- Okay.

It's nice that you came.

I was just thinking of you.

Really? Sit. I'll be right back.

Puthru, time you got

acquainted with me.

What brought you here?

Have you taken a holiday?

I've just come to deliver your letter.

Have you read it?

I don't read private letters

without permission.

It's a sin in my profession.

What difference does it make?

Both of us know the kind of replies I get.

Okay, I'll read it since he has written it.

Kamla, my queen.

What's the use now sonny boy?

I was shocked to be addressed...

...a dishonorable liar and demon.

I swear by Lord Hanuman,

I'm not involved in smuggling or robbery.

But I used to sell my blood...

to send you money.

I would get 500 or 1000 rupees

which I sent to you...

What has he written?

I'm reading it.

Do not tell anyone about this.

Not even to Puthru.

Very soon I will sell

my kidney to buy a room.

What has he written, Mahadev?

Is there bad news?

No. No.

Don't be afraid.

It's not dangerous.

Many of my friends have

sold their kidneys.

What's a kidney? I can give

my life for your happiness.

What happened, Mahadev?

Why don't you tell me?

Let me read it.

Sweetheart, prepare to

come to Mumbai.

Yours Bansi.

What happened?

We were wrong about him.

Your Bansi is a very good man.

He says he has been promoted

and will get a bonus.

He'll buy a house with that money.

Really?

- Yes.

Is that what he has written?

And he has apologized

for troubling you.

He loves you a lot, Kamla.

Hail Goddess Sharda!

Mahadev, it's all because

of your letters.

Bansi!

Mother-in-law will be

so happy to know about this.

Prepare to leave.

- Yes. I'll start packing!

I'm leaving, I have some important work.

I'll be right back!

Where are you going?

Mahadev!

I had offered my head.

But the sword fell on

someone else's neck.

Sir!

These are the fields

I want to mortgage.

But I want the money immediately.

50,000! Can I get it?

You'll get your 50,000.

But I'll charge an interest of

20 percent. Do you accept?

I accept.

Take this half rupee and read me a letter.

- No Aunt. I'm in a hurry.

Take a rupee and read me this letter.

OK. I'm glad to tell you

that a dog has been found.

The witch-doctor will get them

married next month on a Saturday.

You'll have to give 500 as dowry.

Take this.

What happened?

Why are you crying?

My nose runs even when

I am very happy.

Write a reply. Write that we are ready.

- No Aunt, I'll miss my train.

Write me a letter. Please!

- All right. All right!

Write that we are ready.

When the ill omen is

gone from your village...

...find her a dark, handsome

groom just like yourself.

I will not give a single

penny as dowry.

Take this.

- Thank you very much.

I'm leaving.

- My problem is solved.

Do attend the wedding.

- Yes.

Have lunch at the wedding.

- All right.

Brother, where is Bansi?

There.

- That tall guy?

The operation is tomorrow.

You'll get the money immediately.

You should take three more days'

leave from the manager.

Will there be any complications?

I am here.

I've got Ramesh and Ahmed the money.

Alright.

Bansi!

Me?

- Yes, greetings!

I live in a village next to yours.

I met a person at the station who told

me to give this packet to Bansi.

He also gave me this letter.

But what's in it?

I don't know.

I did as I was told.

You take care of your inheritance.

I'm leaving.

O beloved. Forgive me for my mistake.

I am sending some money.

Buy a house with it and...

...promise me, you'll never ever

think about getting operated.'

'I will commit suicide if you get operated.'

Your sweetheart, Kamla.

Where is Mahadev?

- I'm here.

Mahadev, read it for me.

Beloved Kamla.

I got your letter and

also the money.

I bought a room yesterday.

But where did so much

money come from?

Did you sell the land

or your jewelry?

We'll talk about it later.

24th June. Gorakhpur-Dadar Express.

What's the matter?
