My child. |
00:03:18 |
Child. |
00:03:27 |
Do you remember |
00:03:33 |
No. |
00:03:36 |
Your husband is dead. |
00:03:39 |
You're a widow now. |
00:03:42 |
For how long, Father? |

Chuyia! |
00:07:13 |
(parrot squawking) |
00:07:30 |
Let's go home, Father. |
00:07:33 |
This is your home now. |
00:07:36 |
Then where is Ma? |
00:07:42 |
Where is Ma? |
00:07:46 |
Where is Ma? |
00:07:54 |
Come on. |
00:07:58 |
Don't leave me here! |
00:08:02 |
(yelling continues) |
00:08:10 |
Let me go! |
00:08:12 |
I'm not staying here! |
00:08:16 |
Quiet. |
00:08:18 |
Shut her mouth. |
00:08:27 |
Hey, you whore, |
00:08:28 |
you haven't fed |
00:08:31 |
Didi, there are no lentils. |
00:08:34 |
What, no lentils? |
00:08:35 |
Then go buy some. |
00:08:38 |
No lentils! |
00:08:40 |
Kunti, let her go. |
00:08:43 |
You. Come here. |
00:08:45 |
Go. |
00:08:47 |
You poor thing. |
00:08:48 |
How I feel for you. |
00:08:51 |
I was also young... |
00:08:53 |
when my bastard husband died. |
00:08:56 |
Come sit here. |
00:09:01 |
In grief, we are |
00:09:05 |
and this house is our refuge. |
00:09:08 |
I want my mother. |
00:09:10 |
(tsking) |
00:09:11 |
Our Holy Books say, |
00:09:13 |
a wife is part |
00:09:16 |
while he's alive. |
00:09:20 |
Right? |
00:09:24 |
And when husbands die, |
00:09:26 |
God help us, |
00:09:29 |
wives also half die. |
00:09:32 |
So how can a half-dead woman |
00:09:35 |
Because she's half alive? |
00:09:38 |
Don't try and be |
00:09:40 |
or I'll throw you |
00:09:44 |
I don't want to be |
00:09:46 |
What did you say? |
00:09:47 |
(yells) |
00:09:49 |
She bites a like a little bitch! |
00:09:51 |
What are you staring at? |
00:09:52 |
Ass lickers! |
00:09:56 |
Are your arms and legs broken? |
00:10:09 |
Let her go. |
00:10:09 |
But, Madhu, Didi... |
00:10:11 |
Leave. |
00:10:31 |
Come here. |
00:10:36 |
Come here. |
00:10:43 |
Turn around and sit. |
00:11:03 |
It's turmeric. |
00:11:05 |
It cools the head. |
00:11:08 |
You saved me like |
00:11:13 |
Sharp teeth |
00:11:19 |
Go, sit in the sun. |
00:11:23 |
Are you deaf? |
00:11:26 |
They'll throw me |
00:11:28 |
Only if you bite someone else. |
00:11:41 |
Come here, little one. |
00:11:43 |
(crows cawing) |
00:11:51 |
What's your name? |
00:11:55 |
Chuyia. |
00:11:56 |
Chuyia the mouse... |
00:11:59 |
...the mouse with sharp teeth. |
00:12:05 |
What's your name? |
00:12:08 |
My husband embraced eternity |
00:12:11 |
and left behind Patiraji. |
00:12:15 |
You can call me Auntie. |
00:12:20 |
You really made |
00:12:32 |
Do you have a sweet? |
00:12:39 |
Awake or asleep, |
00:12:42 |
even in dreams, |
00:13:45 |
(loud snoring) |
00:13:47 |

Mitthu, Mitthu. |

00:14:47 |
You're back? |
00:14:49 |
Water? |
00:15:16 |
Up here! |
00:15:34 |
(creaking) |
00:15:44 |
An angel. |
00:16:04 |
Close your eyes. |
00:16:07 |
Close them. |
00:16:23 |
His name is Kaalu. |
00:16:25 |
Kaalu. |
00:16:28 |
You can play with him anytime. |
00:16:32 |
You feed him. |
00:16:40 |
Kaalu. |
00:16:42 |
He has fleas. |
00:16:45 |
Downstairs? |
00:16:46 |
No, silly. |
00:16:48 |
Dogs aren't allowed there. |
00:16:50 |
They're a bad omen. |
00:16:52 |
Don't tell anyone about Kaalu. |
00:16:55 |
But I'm not staying here. |
00:16:59 |
My mother's coming to get me. |
00:17:02 |
If not today, |
00:17:14 |
(puppy whines, |
00:17:21 |
Krishna, this is my friend. |
00:17:24 |
What's your name? |
00:17:26 |
Chuyia. |
00:17:29 |
Can he hear you? |
00:17:31 |
Of course. |
00:17:39 |
What did he say? |
00:17:41 |
He says you won't |
00:17:46 |
I told you so. |
00:17:48 |
In a day, chant jai |
00:17:52 |
a hundred and eight |
00:17:54 |
...you'll fly away! |
00:17:56 |
But I can only count to ten. |
00:18:03 |
This has one hundred |
00:18:10 |
Why don't you |
00:18:15 |

00:19:04 |
Mat... |
00:19:17 |
While the priest |
00:19:20 |
I started to laugh. |
00:19:23 |
Ma slapped me hard, |
00:19:29 |
and then until the end... |
00:19:31 |
...not a squeak from me. |
00:19:34 |
Afterwards... |
00:19:35 |
I know what happened. |
00:19:39 |
What? |
00:19:40 |
The wedding feast. |
00:19:43 |
You should have |
00:19:45 |
Plump white rasgullas, |
00:19:50 |
piping hot gulab jamuns. |
00:19:53 |
The saliva was drooling |
00:19:57 |
Yellow ladoos, |
00:20:00 |
made with pure butter. |
00:20:02 |
Cashew-nut sweets, |
00:20:04 |
covered with gold leaf. |
00:20:08 |
Life is so disappointing. |
00:20:16 |
(praying quietly) |
00:20:23 |
(puppy yelping) |
00:20:29 |
Good, fleas and sins |
00:20:39 |
Chuyia. Stop laughing. |
00:20:41 |
Why? |
00:20:42 |
Why what? |
00:20:43 |
Give me the towel. |
00:20:51 |
Let me. |
00:20:57 |
(yips) |
00:21:04 |
Kaalu. |
00:21:05 |
Kaalu! |
00:21:07 |
Chuyia. |
00:21:08 |
He'll come back! |
00:21:11 |
Chuyia! |
00:21:17 |
Kaalu! |
00:21:19 |
What are you doing? |
00:21:21 |
Widows shouldn't run around |
00:21:23 |
You've polluted me! |
00:21:31 |
(barking) |
00:21:40 |
Kaalu! |
00:21:49 |
(clucking) |
00:21:53 |
(Kaalu panting) |
00:21:55 |
(barking) |
00:22:01 |
Kaalu! |

Kaalu! Kaalu! |

Kaalu! Kaalu! |
00:22:11 |
(barks) |
00:22:12 |
Kaalu! Kaalu! |
00:22:13 |
Catch him. |
00:22:18 |
Is he yours? |
00:22:21 |
Yes. |
00:22:24 |
He doesn't like to bathe. |
00:22:33 |
What's wrong? |
00:22:34 |
I'm... I mean... Kalyani's lost. |
00:22:39 |
We should find her, then. |
00:22:41 |
Yes. Poor thing. |
00:22:54 |
Do you know I'm a widow? |
00:22:57 |
Yes. |
00:23:00 |
What's your name? |
00:23:01 |
Chuyia. |
00:23:03 |
What's your name? |
00:23:05 |
Narayan. |
00:23:06 |
Narayan? |
00:23:09 |
Yes. |
00:23:12 |
CHUYIA: |
00:23:15 |
Kalyani! |
00:23:16 |
(cow moos) |
00:23:22 |
Kalyani, I found him. |
00:23:25 |
Always running around... |
00:23:26 |
like your namesake the mouse! |
00:23:28 |
Narayan found Kaalu. |
00:23:41 |
Let's go. |
00:23:45 |
Where do you live? |
00:23:48 |
I mean, I'm not asking |
00:23:51 |
asking if you are lost... |
00:23:55 |
...then I could take you |
00:23:56 |
She lives in a house of widows, |
00:24:00 |
I'm just visiting her. |
00:24:01 |
Chuyia, tell him not |
00:24:06 |
...it'll be a sin! |
00:24:07 |
But where is the |
00:24:08 |
I don't know. |
00:24:10 |
Ask her if she knows. |
00:24:12 |
Ask her if she knows! |
00:24:14 |
Dharma Ghat. |
00:24:15 |
Next to the river. |
00:24:25 |
Ma! |
00:24:30 |
Ma? |
00:24:47 |
God bless you. |
00:24:49 |
I've been waiting the whole day. |
00:24:56 |
How did your exams go? |
00:24:58 |
Pass or fail? |
00:25:00 |
Double fail. |
00:25:02 |
Rascal! |
00:25:03 |
Live long... be happy. |
00:25:12 |
Master, should I |
00:25:17 |
No. |
00:25:18 |
Sadhuramji. |
00:25:27 |
(coins clink) |
00:25:29 |
Don't get drunk with this. |
00:25:31 |
My hands haven't touched |
00:25:36 |
Make sure your lips |
00:25:59 |
(singing Hindi song) |
00:26:17 |
My husband the old bastard |
00:26:22 |
the minute he climbed on me... |
00:26:24 |
instead of coming... |
00:26:27 |
he went straight to Heaven. |
00:26:28 |
Bastard! |
00:26:30 |
Pleasing himself in Heaven. |
00:26:32 |
And left me stuck in Hell. |
00:26:36 |
(tsking) |
00:26:37 |
Poor man. |
00:26:39 |
Poor who? |
00:26:42 |
Poor you, I mean. |
00:26:45 |
(chuckles) |
00:26:46 |
Didi, have you heard? |
00:26:48 |
What? |
00:26:49 |
That Mohandas... |
00:26:50 |
Mohandas who? |
00:26:53 |
No. Mohandas Gandhi. |
00:26:56 |
He's come from the jungles |
00:26:58 |
He doesn't drink, |
00:27:00 |
Why? Doesn't he |
00:27:02 |
No. He doesn't sleep with women. |
00:27:05 |
For discipline, he says. |
00:27:08 |
Why are you still here? |
00:27:10 |
Take her to Seth Dwarkanath. |
00:27:12 |
Standing there and gossiping. |
00:27:14 |
Hand it over. |
00:27:36 |
(resumes singing) |
00:27:42 |
Long live Lord Shiva! |

(singing Hindi song, |
00:28:03 |
There she goes. |
00:28:06 |
(singing continues) |
00:28:07 |
There goes who? |
00:28:09 |
A whore. |
00:28:10 |
To meet a client. |
00:28:12 |
Perhaps my father. |
00:28:14 |
Does she look like a whore? |
00:28:17 |
She's a widow, you fool. |
00:28:19 |
I know. |
00:28:21 |
The gentry here |
00:28:23 |
have an "unnatural concern" |
00:28:30 |
(singing continues) |
00:28:38 |
Gulabi... |
00:28:42 |
Does Lord Krishna |
00:28:46 |
Of course |
00:28:49 |
Haven't you seen us reenact |
00:28:52 |
He plays himself, |
00:28:53 |
while I play |
00:28:56 |
(singing Hindi song) |
00:29:04 |
My father doesn't even bother |
00:29:08 |
There's the old one, |
00:29:10 |
the fat one, |

the new one, |

the young one. |

You can laugh, |
00:29:33 |
you don't have an oaf |
00:29:35 |
No, definitely not. |
00:29:45 |
Rabindra. |
00:29:50 |
Have you thought of |
00:29:53 |
Are you crazy? |
00:29:54 |
I happen to like English ways. |
00:29:58 |
Their cricket, their whiskey... |
00:30:03 |
and what poets they have! |
00:30:07 |
She walks like a beauty |
00:30:09 |
"She walks in beauty |

You haven't become a |

Didi, where is Kalyani? |

You and your questions. |

Shut up. |

Chuyia, eat slowly. |

Chew each grain. |

Kaalu. |

I don't remember being seven. |

What did you say? |

She says, she doesn't remember |
00:34:55 |
Ask me, |

I remember. |

I got married |

Can't you watch |

Please forgive us. |

No... it's all right. |

You can do it again if you want! |

(song ends) |
00:40:01 |
(playing festive tune) |
00:40:12 |
Watch it! |
00:40:14 |
Don't let your shadow |
00:40:45 |
Such ignorance. |
00:40:47 |
It's this ignorance |
00:41:13 |
Shakuntala, you've been doing |
00:41:19 |
So many years of sacrifice |
00:41:26 |
Do you feel closer |
00:41:54 |
If... |
00:41:57 |
self liberation means... |
00:42:00 |
detachment from worldly desires. |
00:42:03 |
Then, no, I'm no closer. |
00:42:09 |
Whatever happens, |
00:42:13 |
never lose your faith. |
00:42:16 |
Never lose your faith. |
00:43:02 |
I hate you! |
00:43:08 |
She's still not used to this. |
00:43:16 |
(goat bleating) |
00:43:33 |
Get lost. |
00:43:36 |
I have money. |
00:43:38 |
Widows don't eat fried food. |
00:43:47 |
What do you want? |
00:43:52 |
Speak up. |
00:43:53 |
(sizzling) |
00:43:58 |
Hail Lord Shiva! |
00:44:25 |
Auntie. Auntie. |
00:44:29 |
What is it, little mouse? |
00:44:32 |
A ladoo! |
00:45:00 |
WOMAN: |
00:45:04 |
Where are you? |
00:45:12 |
(festive music playing) |
00:45:32 |
MADHU: |
00:45:35 |
Do my feet now. |
00:45:38 |
Yes, Didi. |
00:45:45 |
Gently. |
00:45:46 |
My skin is like satin. |
00:45:48 |
If a mosquito sits on me, |
00:45:53 |
Ask Gulabi, |
00:45:54 |
I always keep my promises. |
00:45:56 |
GULABI: |
00:45:57 |
If she says |
00:46:00 |
then she will. |
00:46:03 |
Did you know? |
00:46:04 |
Know what? |
00:46:05 |
This Gandhi is going |
00:46:08 |
What's he done now? |
00:46:10 |
He says the Untouchables are... |
00:46:14 |
children of God. |
00:46:15 |
Disgusting! |
00:46:17 |
GULABI: |
00:46:21 |
BOTH: |
00:46:24 |
tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-... |
00:46:26 |
(singing in German) |
00:47:08 |
You'll be seen. |
00:47:13 |
Take me back. |
00:47:15 |
Are you insane? |
00:47:17 |
I want to go back. |
00:47:19 |
Then you can tell the client. |
00:47:27 |
(continues singing in German) |
00:47:42 |
is an insult, Nara |
00:47:51 |
Narayan? |
00:47:55 |
Who's that? |
00:47:58 |
A eunuch. |
00:48:01 |
My father's pimp. |
00:48:04 |
In English... a procurer. |
00:48:10 |
There's a famous saying. |
00:48:13 |
Widows, bulls, slippery steps |
00:48:16 |
Avoid these, |
00:48:33 |
"Romeo, oh, Romeo... |
00:48:43 |
Wherefore art thou, Romeo?" |
00:48:52 |
Can't you ever be serious? |
00:48:56 |
Say you had a wife... |
00:48:57 |
I'm not married. |
00:48:59 |
Just imagine you were... |
00:49:03 |
and everything you've cared for |
00:49:09 |
If you hadn't met that widow, |
00:49:12 |
you wouldn't be such a |
00:49:16 |
I don't even know |
00:49:21 |
Stand beneath her balcony, |
00:49:24 |
but don't quote Romeo. |
00:49:25 |
People here |
00:49:29 |
You really are |
00:49:32 |
I'll tell you one thing, |
00:49:34 |
your precious English |
00:49:38 |
And who's going |
00:49:40 |
Your Gandhi? |
00:49:46 |
Of course. |
00:49:49 |
(Auntie coughing) |
00:50:02 |
(wheezing and coughing) |
00:50:09 |
Auntie. |
00:50:12 |
Take me outside. |
00:50:15 |
You'll be all right. |
00:50:18 |
Take me outside. |
00:50:23 |
I want a ladoo. |
00:50:27 |
Try to sleep. |
00:50:34 |
(coughing and wheezing) |
00:50:37 |
Do you want water? |
00:50:43 |
I want to die |
00:50:45 |
No. |
00:50:48 |
Didi. |
00:50:52 |
We should take |
00:51:23 |
MADHU: |
00:51:25 |
Brahmin widows keeping vigil, |
00:51:28 |
and that, too, for free. |
00:51:35 |
Shakuntala, |
00:51:38 |
Holy Water. |
00:51:45 |
Get some water |
00:51:48 |
Hurry! |
00:51:57 |
(man chanting) |
00:52:22 |
Chuyia. |
00:52:24 |
Remember me? Narayan. |
00:52:27 |
Yes. |
00:52:28 |
Is Kalyani inside? |
00:52:31 |
Yes. |
00:52:32 |
I have to go. |
00:52:34 |
Chuyia, wait. |
00:52:53 |
Give this to Kalyani. |
00:53:10 |
Didi, water! |
00:53:14 |
You're too late. |
00:53:24 |
Chuyia! |
00:53:25 |
Didi, the money |
00:53:32 |
Every penny that we have |
00:53:34 |
goes for the rent. |
00:53:37 |
Go get Auntie's things. |
00:54:08 |
Nothing. |
00:54:12 |
Didi. |
00:54:15 |
Didi. |
00:54:21 |
I was saving these |
00:54:25 |
MADHU: |
00:54:43 |
(cow mooing) |
00:55:04 |
SHAKUNTALA: |
00:55:06 |
Chuyia. |
00:55:08 |
Where do you run off to? |
00:55:09 |
Don't you listen? |
00:55:10 |
I've told you... |
00:55:11 |
You're always angry. |
00:55:33 |
I was going home. |
00:55:36 |
You can't go home. |
00:55:40 |
I know. |
00:55:46 |
Forget that life. |
00:55:56 |
Didi, Auntie ate a ladoo. |
00:56:03 |
Don't worry. |
00:56:06 |
After eating the ladoo, |
00:56:10 |
God willing, |

Didi. |

"At Karam Ghat. |
00:57:25 |
"I will wait for you. |
00:57:28 |
Yours, Narayan." |
00:57:31 |
I meet him with Chuyia. |
00:57:36 |
I didn't ask. |
00:57:40 |
What should I do, Didi? |
00:57:44 |
Don't ask me. |

where the kadamba |

The kadamba is a flower |

the people swoon |
00:01:43 |
It's from Kalidas's |

I can't read. |
00:01:50 |
Shakuntala Didi read |
00:01:54 |
Did you know |

In Sanskrit, |
00:02:06 |
and "doot" means a messenger. |
00:02:09 |

00:02:14 |
The poem is about |

The lover tells the cloud, |
00:02:28 |
it resembles Lord Vishnu... |

in Krishna's guise, |

gleaming with peacock feathers. |
00:02:51 |
And the cloud heard him? |
00:02:54 |
How is that possible? |
00:02:58 |
If we believe that a salute |
00:03:01 |
why not a cloud? |

(thunder rumbling) |
00:03:22 |
Are you gentry? |
00:03:24 |
Would it matter |
00:03:27 |
Yes. |
00:03:29 |
I just finished |
00:03:35 |
Kalyani, when did |
00:03:40 |
I don't remember. |
00:03:42 |
Maybe... |
00:03:43 |
when I was nine. |
00:03:45 |
Was your husband |
00:03:47 |
I never met him. |
00:04:05 |
Anyone else in your house? |

My mother, |

my father, |

Sadhuramji. |
00:04:17 |
No, I'm not married. |
00:04:21 |
Good God! |
00:04:22 |
Why not? |
00:04:24 |
My father says, |
00:04:26 |
childhood is a time for play, |
00:04:29 |
not for marriage. |
00:04:32 |
And your mother? |
00:04:35 |
If she had her way, |
00:04:37 |
I'd have a daughter |
00:04:40 |
Your mother's right. |

That's how things are. |
00:04:45 |
That's how things were. |

Times are changing. |

All the old traditions |
00:04:56 |
All of them? |
00:04:59 |
But what is good |
00:05:08 |
And who will decide what is good |

and what is not? |

You! |

Didi, when do we get food? |
00:06:16 |
Today we fast. |
00:06:18 |
No food, no water. |
00:06:20 |
Come in. |
00:06:30 |
What's wrong? |
00:06:32 |
No tantrums? |
00:06:37 |
You're getting used |
00:06:41 |
Come sit here. |
00:06:43 |
I have to go. |

Kalyani's reciting Kalidas. |
00:06:46 |
What? |
00:06:48 |
A poem. |
00:06:51 |
(laughs) |
00:06:53 |
"Megh" means cloud, |
00:06:57 |
and "doot"... messenger. |
00:07:00 |
The Cloud Messenger. |
00:07:03 |
The Cloud Messenger. |
00:07:05 |
Mm. |
00:07:06 |
Come on, let's send a message. |
00:07:26 |
Did you send a message? |
00:07:27 |
I don't want to send one. |
00:07:34 |
KUNTI: |
00:07:40 |
Kalyani! |
00:07:42 |
Why won't you |
00:07:44 |
Kalyani! |
00:07:47 |
Have you gone deaf? |
00:07:50 |
Didi wants you. |
00:07:53 |
(thunder crashing) |
00:08:03 |
(squawking) |
00:08:06 |
you don't have to fast. |

KALYANI: |
00:08:10 |
Come on in, child. |
00:08:14 |
Here, this is for you. |
00:08:22 |
Wait, child. |
00:08:25 |
You must take care of yourself. |
00:08:28 |
You are the jewel |
00:08:31 |
If you are happy, |
00:08:33 |
And when they are happy, |
00:08:36 |
This is an ashram, Didi, |

(horse whinnies) |
00:08:53 |
This is the edge of the city. |
00:08:55 |
Where the British live. |
00:08:59 |
They don't care |
00:09:02 |
Why not? |
00:09:05 |
Don't they have widows? |
00:09:08 |
Of course they do. |
00:09:10 |
But not like ours. |
00:09:16 |
It must be hard for you. |
00:09:21 |
Sometimes yes, |
00:09:22 |
sometimes no. |
00:09:24 |
"Learn to live like a lotus, |
00:09:27 |
untouched by the filthy water |

Krishnaji said it in the Geeta. |
00:09:34 |
Krishna was a God. |
00:09:38 |
Not everyone can live |
00:09:45 |
Yes, they can. |
00:10:03 |
It's ink. |
00:10:05 |
I didn't have time to change. |
00:10:08 |
I was applying for a job |
00:10:13 |
What's wrong? |
00:10:17 |
When do you go? |
00:10:19 |
As soon as they call me. |
00:10:27 |
And when will you be back? |
00:10:36 |
I'm not going anywhere |
00:11:20 |
Are you asleep? |
00:11:22 |
Yes. |
00:11:24 |
Wake up. |
00:11:25 |
What? |

Speak softly. |

What does he preach? |
00:11:55 |
That's Gandhiji, |
00:11:58 |
So, what does he |
00:11:59 |
He talks about freedom, |
00:12:03 |
To talk |
00:12:06 |
but to live by it is not. |

Turn off that gramophone! |

(gramophone clicks off) |
00:12:24 |
I want a yes, or a no. |
00:12:27 |
No! |
00:12:29 |
Huh? |
00:12:33 |
Don't you want |
00:12:36 |
It's not like setting yogurt. |
00:12:39 |
Who am I going to find for you? |
00:12:42 |
You don't have to. |
00:12:45 |
I found her myself. |

Really? |

00:12:53 |
Who is she? |
00:12:55 |
Do I know her? |
00:12:57 |
No. |
00:12:59 |
Is she fair-skinned? |
00:13:01 |
Yes. |
00:13:02 |
Tell me quickly, who is she? |
00:13:06 |
She's a widow, Ma. |
00:13:07 |
(playing simple melody) |
00:13:14 |
Gandhi has turned you |
00:13:17 |
Marry a widow? |
00:13:19 |
How can you even think of it? |
00:13:21 |
This is a sin. |
00:13:25 |
You should get a gold |

Raja Ramohan Roy says |
00:13:32 |
And Raja whoever Roy, |

what does he know |

He'll be pleased, |

Stop it! |

(Madhu moaning contentedly) |
00:14:01 |
Have some, Didi? |
00:14:03 |
I've been farting non-stop |
00:14:08 |
I ate too much last night. |
00:14:11 |
Hey, Chuyia. |
00:14:13 |
Here, eat some. |
00:14:16 |
Are you mad? |
00:14:18 |
Giving a widow forbidden food. |
00:14:20 |
I'll eat a |
00:14:23 |
Whose wedding? |
00:14:24 |
Kalyani's wedding. |
00:14:27 |
And when is her wedding? |
00:14:29 |
Don't know. |
00:14:30 |
She'll get married |
00:14:32 |
Widows don't get married. |
00:14:34 |
But she will. |
00:14:36 |
No! She won't! |
00:14:38 |
She will get married. |
00:14:39 |
She will. She will. She will. |
00:14:40 |
Drown yourself, liar! |

Chuyia, that's enough. |

Chuyia, Chuyia... |

Chuyia, stop. |

Chuyia, Chuyia, enough! |

Oh, Kalyani. |

Come here. |

Kalyani, Chuyia says |
00:15:48 |
Yes. |
00:15:50 |
Have you gone mad? |
00:15:52 |
Nobody marries a widow. |
00:15:54 |
He will. |
00:15:56 |
Shameless. |
00:15:57 |
You'll sink yourself and us. |
00:15:59 |
We'll be cursed. |
00:16:03 |
We must live in purity, |
00:16:05 |
to die in purity. |
00:16:08 |
Then why did you send me |
00:16:10 |
For survival. |
00:16:12 |
And how we survive here, |
00:16:14 |
no one can question, |
00:16:16 |
not even God! |
00:16:17 |
Didi, no! |
00:16:51 |
We would have burnt in Hell |
00:16:53 |
MADHU: |
00:16:55 |
I've saved you all. |
00:16:57 |
Let's see the whore |
00:17:00 |
Is this true? |
00:17:02 |
Yes. |
00:17:07 |
Didi, |
00:17:09 |
you'll get Kalyani out, |
00:17:13 |
To even think of |
00:17:16 |
Why? |
00:17:18 |
Ask God. |
00:17:30 |
(parrot squawking in distance) |
00:17:48 |
How will you get married now? |
00:17:50 |
You've become bald. |
00:17:54 |
Don't worry, I'll get married. |
00:17:58 |
I hope |

WOMAN: |
00:20:03 |
If one widow |
00:20:07 |
all the widows of India |
00:20:10 |
A catastrophe! |
00:20:13 |
Do you know what he says? |
00:20:15 |
Who? |
00:20:16 |
Gandhi. |
00:20:17 |
He says widows are |
00:20:20 |
and nobody should be |
00:20:24 |
(sobbing) |
00:20:28 |
Didi, |
00:20:30 |
I miss |

Mitthu. |

My Mitthu. |

MY Mitthu. |

Are you in heaven |

(crying) |
00:20:53 |
(whispering): |
00:21:18 |
Chuyia. |
00:21:20 |
Hey, Chuyia. |
00:21:23 |
I know you're not asleep. |
00:21:30 |
I won't ask about Mitthu. |
00:21:40 |
Tell me, what do I look like? |
00:21:42 |
Old. |

(water rippling) |
00:22:01 |
(female vocalist |
00:22:37 |
You have studied |
00:22:45 |
Is it written |
00:22:47 |
that widows should |
00:22:54 |
The Scriptures say |
00:22:58 |
that widows have three options. |
00:23:01 |
They can burn |
00:23:03 |
or lead a life of self-denial, |
00:23:07 |
or, if the family permits, |
00:23:13 |
marry their husband's |
00:23:22 |
However... |
00:23:27 |
a law was recently passed, |
00:23:30 |
which favors widow remarriage. |
00:23:38 |
A law? |
00:23:41 |
Why don't we know about it? |
00:23:45 |
We ignore the laws... |
00:23:53 |
that don't benefit us. |
00:24:12 |
Keys to her room. |
00:24:13 |
I won't give them. |
00:24:15 |
The keys. |
00:24:18 |
I told you I won't give them. |
00:24:26 |
If you open the door, |
00:24:28 |
you destroy us all. |
00:24:36 |
Imbecile! |
00:24:37 |
Don't open the door. |
00:24:43 |
(crows cawing, birds tweeting) |
00:25:07 |
Leave. |

(Kaalu whines softly) |
00:25:23 |
Go. |

If you go to him, |
00:25:37 |
I won't let you come back. |

I love you very much. |

Blue. |

The color of Lord Krishna. |
00:29:54 |
A blue sari with |
00:29:57 |
You'll look as beautiful |
00:30:09 |
You really told your mother? |
00:30:11 |
Yes. |
00:30:12 |
What did you say? |
00:30:18 |
I said I wanted to marry you. |
00:30:19 |
And what did she say? |
00:30:22 |
She began to cry. |
00:30:24 |
Good God! |
00:30:26 |
Father and I will convince her. |
00:30:36 |
Look... my house. |

What's your father's name? |

Dwarkanath. |

Turn the boat around. |

What happened? |
00:31:09 |
Turn the boat around. |
00:31:15 |
Sit, Kalyani. |
00:31:21 |
At least tell me what's wrong. |
00:31:28 |
All right, you don't |
00:31:31 |
But I do need to. |
00:31:35 |
Then please try. |
00:31:37 |
I can't. |
00:31:41 |
Ask your father. |
00:31:46 |
What? |
00:31:47 |
Kalyani? |
00:31:52 |
(crickets chirping) |
00:31:59 |
What happened was unfortunate. |
00:32:03 |
However... |
00:32:13 |
However what? |
00:32:16 |
So you've found out |
00:32:22 |
Don't marry her. |
00:32:25 |
Keep her as a mistress. |
00:32:31 |
I respected you so much. |

who interpret the Holy Texts |
00:33:02 |
You're not a hero |

00:33:09 |
You disgust me. |
00:33:44 |
Did you put butter? |
00:33:46 |
Yes. |
00:34:04 |
Didi? |
00:34:08 |
So, you've come back. |

Your father-in-law |

The Holy Texts say |

Kalyani's death |
00:37:34 |
Have faith. |
00:37:40 |
Why is your faith so strong? |
00:37:43 |
I don't know. |
00:38:07 |
Why are widows sent here? |
00:38:14 |
There must be a reason for it. |
00:38:18 |
One less mouth |

Four saris saved, |
00:38:25 |
one bed, |

don't I? |

Everyone knows you do. |

But she doesn't even |
00:39:22 |
I want to go home. |
00:39:24 |
All right, then, |
00:39:27 |
You know where my home is? |
00:39:30 |
Gulabi does. |
00:39:33 |
Gulabi knows everything. |
00:39:35 |
But if you don't want to go, |
00:39:39 |
After all, I'm also |
