today is our independence day. every year, we invite some.. ..eminent personage for this event. but this year, wehaven't invited a minister or.. ..some important official. instead one of the senior colleagues.. ..of our office, mr. gangaram.. ..has been invited asthe chief guest this year. mr. gangaram, please come.- me?

go on! who, me? please have a seat! friends, next year whenwe'll celebrate this event.. ..mr. gangaram will have retired.. ..and won't be present among us. but as municipal commissioner.. ..i can tell you thiswill be a great loss to us. in the world of today,mr. gangaram's..

..name is an example of honesty. i can vouch thatmr. gangaram's character.. ..is as thy of esteem as the holywaters of the ganga(indian holy river). excuse me, sir.- yes? i would like to say a few wordson behalf of mr. prem kumar. of course! why not? please do come. what mr. commissionersaid was absolutely right. the greatest example of thegreatness of this great man is.. ..that he didn't take anymonetary or financial help from..

..anyone to give goodeducation to his only son.. ..but exhausted his entirepension fund by taking a loan. so, honouringmr. gangaram's integrity.. ..mr. prem kumar wishes to presenthim with a gift of rs.100,000.. ..which is adorningthis beautiful garland. mr. prem kumar, please come this way. just a minute! friends! mr. prem kumar is quite arenowned builder of this city.

he's a very rich andfamous personality. but in the municipalcommissioner's office.. ..i'm the only clerk who posed.. ..an obstacle in hispath of prosperity. i never let him constructany illegal constructions.. ..and if he did manage tobuild one, i had it demolished. he tried many ways to buy me out,but i didn't sell out.. ..because i know my worth. how can this simple figureof clay sell for millions?

but today, amidst you all,in the name of his bright future.. ..he has tried tobribe me with rs 1,00,000.. ..so that i may not try to haveany of his illegal constructions.. ..demolished in the finalyear of my term in this office. but, i shall definitely have themdemolished and fulfill my duties. gangaram, you've greatlyoffended me today. i shan't forget this. mom, have you ironed my clothes?- yes dear, it's done. wow! would you look at this?

that's quite a professionaltouch you gave it. did you by any chancework in a laundry before? naughty boy!- oh, yes, mom. have you polished my shoes?- yes. wow! everything is a yes! laxmi, i hope you'vereadied vijay's clothes. you're asking me.. ..as if you've beendoing it till today. well, haven't i?

whenever you fall sick or when mydad was confined to bed for months.. ..and you were attending to himwho would take care of vijay then? my dear wife, in my lifei've played the role of a mother.. ..besides playing the role of father.- my god! you have an answer to every question.- it's very necessary. those who has no answer to a question, ..sometimes their own livesbecomes a question mark. today for the first time,my son is going for an interview ..for the job of an architect.

today, my dreams arefinally coming to realization. for years, i've beenliving on this one hope.. ..that some day my son would grow up.. ..and leave the sanctuaryof his mother's apron.. ..and step out intothe worldly market.. ..and earn himself respect and fame.. ..and fill hisparent's lives with happiness. enough! stop dreaming before time. because the dream bird soars very high

..and it's impossible for aman to take that high a flight. so a man should fly.. ..only that high from whereit's possible for.. ..his wings to bringhim down safely.. ..and not break on the way. you just pray for the success ofvijay and think of nothing else. dad!- yes, son. have you prepared the file?- it's right here. which company are you goingto give your interview?

there's a builder. my friend said thatthey require an architect. he'll have a talk with them andthen i'll go and meet them. - okay. all right, mom.- all right. see you, dad! listen, son. today is the first time you'regoing to give a job-interview. seek the blessing of goddess saraswati(hindu deity) before you go. it's said mother saraswatiis the goddess of knowledge.

go. my father is thedevotee of saraswati.. ..but mother laxmi (hindudeity of wealth), i'm your devotee. he's the worshiper ofwisdom and knowledge.. ..and i'm the worshiper of wealth. are you the son of gangaram?- yes sir. gangaram verma!- yes, sir. does your father work in illegal.. ..constructions demolition dept. ofthe municipal corporation? - yes, sir.

sit down. what? you took up the jobat prem kumar's firm! i consider talking to him an offence.. ..and you took up a jobat such a person's firm! they're paying me rs.7,000. and these days, not even higherofficials get paid so highly. he isn't paying you rs.7,000as a salary but as a bribe. and only because you're my son..

..and he hopes to buy meout by filling your pockets. and as for me.. ..i'm the son of thathonest constable jamnaprasad.. ..who went hungrybut never took a bribe. without medication, his wifesuccumbed to illness and died. my mother, died but he never boughtany medicine with tainted money. and you're the grandson ofthat honest grandfather. is it necessary for me too.. ..to repeat the samestupidity our forefathers made?

mind your language or else..- that's enough! he has just taken up a job.. ..in that place,not committed a crime. getting oneself hired under acorrupt man is much graver than theft. that will be if he toowill commit a crime. but my son will work honestlyand earn a respectable living. listen to me, laxmi. today you'reencouraging him, but tomorrow.. ..you'll repent anddon't you forget that. - no. i have complete faith in my son.

all right then. let's see when the sonworks under a corrupt boss.. ..how long the faithof a mother can hold on. let's see. son, this is the plan of my plot. did you like it?- it's good. according to the square feet area.. ..you've shown the fsi exaggeratedly. the municipal corporationwon't pass it.

son, if you're able to pass thisplan from your father gangaram.. ..then consider yourselfas having met your goal. vijay, after the completion ofthis job, i'll gift you a reward.. ..like you've neverdreamt of in your entire life. hi, daddy! sapna!- yes, dad! speak of the giftand it walks right in. vijay, meet my daughter sapna. hello.- hello.

sir, consider your plan as passed. this! you've come to me withthis plan to get it passed! this plot can't even holda four-storey building.. ..and you want to constructa ten-storey building on it! so that prem kumar may use inferiorquality of cement and raw materials.. ..and endanger the livesof thousands of people! dad, it's the question of my life. your one signature could make my life.

i won't ruin my integrityjust to make your life. you know your father very well. he'll risk his neck andwhatever he holds dear.. ..but will never signthe deeds of dishonesty. how dare you tell me this garbage! i haven't come here tolisten to your sermons. i've had enough of yourhollow sermons for one life! whatever has your honesty andintegrity ever given to you? ever since i can remember..

..i've never seen mom dress up well. on the festivals,everybody makes merry.. ..but we have to thinktwice before we even smile. when was the last timewe had a real good food? how many times have i toldyou to sell off this ruin.. ..this cursed placeand buy a new house. but you were so damn adamant. you don't dispose off your heritage. that is exactly whatyou said and shut me up.

all my life; right fromschool days to college days, i was the victim ofinferiority complex. the sense of enviousness built up.. ..within me seeing the otherboys dressed so well.. ..and moving about in their cars. i cursed myself thati'd have been better off dead.. ..than be born to a pauper like you.- vijay! don't stop me! let me speak! too much is too much!

today.. today when the time has comewhen i can make some money.. ..you're lecturing me.. ..and trying to knead meinto your mould of destitution. but no..i refuse tobe moulded like you. all i need is money and wealth. and i don't care if i have to adoptany ways or means to acquire it.. ..i won't hesitate. dad..

..if you don't signon this paper today.. ..i'll forsake this house forever. how will you leave now when.. ..you've already left long back? you've come to break upall your ties with us today.. ..after selling yourselfinto the hands of a rich man. i know it, my son. i know it all. but do remember one thing. your age is far lessthan my experience.

you haven't seen as muchhappiness in your life as misery.. ..i've seen of the peoplelike you who prefer to be sold. a day will come when you'll wantto cry your heart out to the world.. ..and tell them of your tragictales but you'll have no audience. you'll be the solitary weeper, but nonewill stand by your side to hear you. fine with me! listen to me! he's leaving!why don't you stop him? let him go, laxmi. let him go..

at this moment,he's riding on the dusty road.. ..to perdition on hissteed of selfishness. nothing can stop sucha conceited rider but.. ..the turbulence of timeand the hardships of life. perhaps even god can't stop him.let him go. sir.. daddy. vijay, your face clearlyreveals you've failed. but, don't worry, son.

success and failure arebut the two sides of life. what if you failed? i won't go back on my word. but, there's a condition to it. a condition?- that's right. after the marriage,my daughter won't go to your house. but instead, you'll have tolive here in this house. - sir.. your bid is my command.it shall be as you wish. you're kind enough to accept me.

you're truly a great man, sir.- no need for this. i'll start the arrangements forthe wedding today itself. happy? i sacrificedeverything for this child. for his bright future,we nearly starved ourselves.. ..but saw that he receivedthe best of educations. but what luck! let alone taking permissionfor getting married.. ..this child of ours didn'teven invite us to his wedding. this prem kumar sureis a cunning fellow.

he promised hisdaughter's hand to you.. ..and got her married off to vijay! and only so that.. ..he could get his pending jobsfinished by the father of the groom! we worked day and nightthrough thick and thin.. ..and raised prem kumar'scompany to such heights. narang, from today onwards.. ..we'll work for no one but ourselves. my money and your brains.

okay?- done. you've wasted my time! darn you! where do you think you're going? i'll follow you till theend of the world. catch him.. help me! gangaram, where are you! where did he go? catch him! gangaram, my brother! save me from these scoundrels!- what's going on?

i won't leave you now!- be quiet! what happened?- sir, i'll tell you. he has begotten a second son. when we asked him for alms,he refused us. phoolchand, don't tell meyou became a father again! what can i do?i was married late and so.. ..i became a father late.- shame on you! it's your son who should nowbecome a father but instead.. ..it's you who has begotten a son.

now, pay them.- what? pay up, or i'll hand you over to them. well if you say so,i'll pay them something. give them all you have. nothing matters morethan your child, does it? now go. hey, sir, how aboutyou too sparing us some? that's great!why would i ever pay you? don't you know?you've become a grandfather.

what?- mr. vijay has had a son. really! have i trulybecome a grandfather? - yes. laxmi, quickly come over here.i have great news for you. what happened?what kind of a great news? you've become a grandmotherand i've become a grandfather. vijay has begotten a son. really? - it's true, ma'am.i've given you such great news. just a minute. i'll reward you.take this. be happy! phoolchand, today i'm reborn.

this aged gangaram has onceagain taken rebirth as a child. now just see what a greatman i'll make my grandson. he'll be as strong as herculesand true to his words.. ..and his character shall besuch that wherever he'll pass.. ..the crowd shallcheer him as my grandson. he's the grandson of thepoor old great gangaram. won't that be grea. . . what happened, gangaram?- phoolchand.. ..how naive of me to flow in thestream of emotions and sentiments..

..as if my grandsonwere truly in my arms. when the grandfather wasn't giventhe news of the birth of his grandson.. ..who will ever give himhis grandson to bring up? my own flesh & blooddidn't even give me the news.. ..of the birth of his son. how then will he give mehis son to bring him up? my little munchkin!don't cry, my dear! grow up to be like me andnot like your father's dad. sapna!- coming!

sapna! what's this? you urinatedon your grandfather's face! never mind! take care of him now. sorry, daddy. i was held upin the office. - never mind! well, dad, you sent for me. i wish to discuss somethingimportant with you. something important!- some days back.. ranjeet and his partnervisited your father.. my father! why?

to purchase the plot of his house. ranjeet.. perhaps he doesn't know dad that well. he'll risk his life butwill never sell his house. vijay, we've got to getthat plot at any cost. it's a superb plot.we could make millions out of it. daddy, you know my stubbornfather very well and yet.. ..you're dreaming ofbuying that house! he'll never havethat house demolished..

..because that house isn't justa home to him but a shrine. let alone man, even if godproposed to buy that place.. ..he would have toreturn empty-handed. and what if i get you that house? don't make futile remarks, sapna.- just wait and see. a woman's wisdom begins its journey.. ..where the trail ofa man's wits ends. what do you mean by that? to a father, his childis the principal amount..

..and his grandchild is the interest. and to a businessman,interest is more dear.. ..than the principal amount. well, what has your theorygot to do with the plot? a lot. the house that'll beconstructed on that plot.. ..will be named vijay-sapna house. and we have the golden keyto that plot. our son ravi. he'll get us that plot.

oh, god! who abandoned this childhere so late in the night? nobody has abandoned him.he's your grandchild ravi. we've brought him here.- daughter-in-law, you over here! vijay, you too!- yes, mom. dad, he's safe today onlybecause he had your blessings. or we would have trulykilled ourselves. - why? what has happened to ravi?- he was being abducted by the maid. if she hadn't been caught,then today..

..ravi wouldn't havemade it before you. we would have lost everything.- don't cry. come to your grandfather. he's so tiny and yethe recognizes his grandfather well. thank god that at leastmy grandson recognizes me. otherwise, times are such that.. ..a son doesn't even recognizehis own father. let's go. mother..- god bless you, child! father..- it's all right.

father.. ..we're very ashamed of ourselves.we were wrong. you may go ahead and punish us. but please, forgive us. yes, but what exactlydo you want from me? we want you both to staywith ravi at our place. dad, we've come to take you home. i know you won't like tostaying at my father's house. so he has bought himself a new house.

we'll all stay together in that house. that can't be. how can i ever leave myancestral home and go anywhere? listen to me. don't be so adamant. it's been so long, and i havefinally got back my child. my lovely grandson is fillingthe empty space my child left me i'm finally getting theaffection of my daughter-in-law. please don't takeall this away from me. i'm at the climax of my life.

let my end be full of joys. i beg of you! please don't depriveme of my child's love. please give your consent. there's an old sayingthat proved true today. as the wise men say,parents are the servants of god.. ..created by him who are rewardedto their children for free. well, today my grandsonwon and his grandfather lost. father!- that's okay.

grandpa!- yes, dear! take this.- what is it? this is the invitation card.- an invitation card! what for? tomorrow is parents' day. you and grandma willhave to come with me. i too am taking part in the function.- oh, really! you'll come, won't you?- of course, dear. can it ever be thati wouldn't come to your programme? your parent's namewas written on this.

who canceled their names andwrote our name instead? - i did. is this what you teachthe child the whole day? do you poison the mind of thechild against his own parents? who me? i'll poison my grandson's mindagainst my own flesh and blood! before you speak, at least thinkwhat you're saying and to whom. i understand everything, father. since the time vijay and i have beenmarried, you don't like us one bit. daughter, where haveall your manners gone?

be quiet! who the hell areyou to teach me manners? the whole day youpoison my son against us.. ..and you dare to teach me manners! today, at such a tender age,he has been so manipulated by you.. ..he has dared to cut off our names. who knows? he might even cutoff our heads when he grows up. please speak softly. the women in my familynever speak this loud. perhaps they were illiterates..

..to be oppressed bythe men of your family. but i'm not to be quelled. listen to me, son. never dothis again even by mistake. now, take that cardand cut off our names.. ..and rewrite the namesof your parents on it. no need for that. i'll do it myself. come, son! grandpa! "what you sow, so shall you reap.."

"what you do shall come for you.." "joys and sorrows are butthe fruits of your deeds.." "you shall get what you give out.." "the greatest prayers of all isthe service to one's parents.." "the greatest prayers of allis the service to one's parents" "those are lucky who getthis chance in their life.." "don't be a fool as to lose thischance to serve your parents.." "and you shall get rewarded forthe good that you have done.." "nothing wrong ifyou don't adore god.."

"nothing wrong ifyou don't visit god.." "revere thy parents for inthem lies all thy prayers.." "if you succeeds inkeeping them happy.." "god shall be happy with you.." "you will have found god.." well done, son. looking at this childmakes us realize our.. ..culture hasn'tcompletely died but is still alive. how fortunate are those parents..

..who have been gifted by thealmighty with such a noble child i would definitely like to meet them. go, my son, and bringyour parents onto the stage. i now request the mayor toplease come on the stage. grandpa! grandpa, come with me. i?- please come with me, grandpa! yes, come now. grandma, you too. hello!- please do come! sir, you said to bring mymother and father onto the stage.

but i've brought them.. ..who are greater tome than my own parents. meet my grandpa and grandma. you've truly embeddedhim with refined culture. i would very much like youto say a few words to us. we had once heard that.. ..the grandson is therebirth of a grandfather. perhaps what we heard was right. this life is like afield where the man..

..sows the seeds ofvice and virtues and.. ..he bears the fruits ofhis actions right here.. ..in this world in theform of his grandson. perhaps i didsomething very good that.. ..god blessed me withsuch a good grandson.. ..in this very lifetime. there's nothing morei wish to say. thank you. what's the matter? why aren't you asleep yet?- it's not just the matter of today.

i feel as if dad is goingto spoil our sleep forever. if ravi continues to behavewith us so disrespectfully.. ..no doubt one dayhe'll shame us publicly. so i've come to a decision. i've decided to send raviaway from these old people.. ..to a boarding school. why are you sending him away? the reason why you talkedyour parents into coming here.. ..has already been accomplished.

why don't you get rid of them.. ..because of whom ravihas grown so impudent? who needs them now? you're absolutely right, sapna. one shouldn't leave garbagelying around in the house for long.. ..or it starts to stink. i'll clean up this housefirst thing in the morning. get up! you're not worthy to stay inthis house for even a minute!

throw this out!- what are you doing? what's this you are doing?- now, get out! what are you doing? listen to me..- get out! throw all this out! laxmi.. ..please forgive me! today i've offended you very badly. rather than your child offending you..

..it was better that your husbandoffended you in this manner. it's true, laxmi. you could endure the insult. but if your own flesh andblood had done this to you.. ..you would have been devastated. it's for that reasoni deliberately did all this. let's go, laxmi. before our own childkicks us out, it would be best if.. ..we went back to our house. let's go! grandpa..

grandpa, where are you going? i too will come with you. please take me with you. no, dear! you are the dear grandsonof your grandpa, aren't you? then always rememberwhat your grandpa has said. no matter how big the problemis in your life, never give up. never cry and grieve. ravi, come, son. come inside.

no. i shan't let grandpa go anywhere. son, didn't i tell you to go inside? no, i shan't let him go anywhere. ravi, i said go inside!let's go inside! grandpa!- come inside. grandpa.- you brute! you should have at leastfor a moment thought.. ..whom you're hittingand who will be hurt. let's go.

excuse me!- hello, mr. gangaram! my house stood on this place.where did this building come from? why do you look so surprised? your son mr. vijay demolishedyour old house.. ..and constructed this newskyscrapper on its place. neighbours and friends!i'm ruined! i'm dead! what do i do now? how about shedding acouple of tears for me? what do i do? i begot a daughter!

who is it?- nobody! dhaturam, my brother! well, have you made thearrangements for my funeral? i've called the caretaker.they'll be here any minute. if the hearse is taking so long.. ..you'd better throw somegasoline on me and set me alight. let me have some money, and i'llfetch you the gasoline in a jiffy. shut up! how dare you askfor money from a dying man? then why did you ask for it?

phoolchand, what's wrong? did someone die? nobody died but me. what rubbish are you talking?- i've begotten a daughter! you all had better go home.this is an everyday thing. you're so lucky thatyou've begotten a daughter. the girl child is theblessed form of the divine ladies.. ..like goddess laxmi,mother mary, joan of arc. weren't all these ladies?

and why do you forget thatthe one who gave birth to you.. ..your own mother too was a woman. today you're crying only.. ..because god blessedyou with a girl child.. ..and i cry as to why didn'tgod bless me with a girl child. ravi, how about cutting the cake now? not yet, mom. dad has goneto fetch grandpa and grandma. i shall cut the cakeonly after they arrive. dad is here!

dad, didn't grandpa and grandma come? my son, your grandparentshad gone on a pilgrimage. they met with an accidenton their way home. they didn't make it. "revere your parents for inthem lie all your prayers.." "if you succeed inkeeping them happy.." halt! where had she hidden? the women of my family havebeen matron since british times. teena, meena..- yes, ma'am.

when he was walkingwith her on the pavement.. ..some roadside loafers.. ..attacked her with dirty intentions. my father did beat them all up.. ..but in the endlanded up in hospital. what happened next?- what next? next, my father asked meto bring her safely here.. ..as it was his responsibility.- so sad. my heart aches for your father.

what a fine combination we make! your father is mr. wine,i'm ms. bottle and you're mr. cork. all three of us together couldmake a perfect family. - yes.. no! let me go! she's after me. damn her! this cold has truly upset me. daughter-in-law, howabout a cup of tea? i've been requesting it since morning. to hell with such a son and his wife.

father!- who the hell is it? your child.- father, look at your medical report. my medical report!what's wrong with me? dad, this is your x-ray report. the doctor says you'resuffering from a very deadly disease. if i was really sufferingfrom a deadly disease then.. ..i should have turned skinny by now. dad, you're suffering from anentirely different kind of a disease.. ..in which the patient doesn'tgrow thin but keeps on gaining weight.

the hell with you!- oh, that will be. but first, better go and get dressed. where are you taking me? to thegraveyard while i'm still alive? that'll come later. got to takeyou there through proper channels. first, you have to go to thehospital. - to the hospital! but why? - the doctor hasasked us to bring you there. he'll treat you there, or yourcondition will worsen over here. let my daughter radha come here firstbefore i leave for the hospital. radha isn't going to come here.- and why is that?

dad, if you wait for radha,you'll rot to death right here. shut up! why are you mentioning mydeath in every sentence you speak? just an example. can't you give me another example? brother, quickly laydown father in the centre. i've already booked acot in the hospital. why a cot for me?- i'm sorry, dad, but please get up. let's go! - my body is goingall limp hearing to all this. is that all? people usually die whenthey hear such a devastating news.

not you too! you too mentionedthe subject of my death! boys, come here! pick him up fast! what is this? hey, what's this? hey!what are you doing? dad, whatever do you needthe keys for in the hospital? i'll take care of them. oh, no. now hurry up! be careful now. let's go.- wait!

each fly goes for 5 paise. i've collected about10 rupees worth of flies. i'm relishing the cake andyou're bringing in the flies! whoever buys these flies?- that baker in front. what does that bakerdo with these flies? it's hard to find raisins in bombay. so the baker dips theflies in the sugar syrup.. ..and decorates the cakes with them. so that the customer may relish theflies thinking them to be raisins.

that baker is such a scumbag!- how true! hey, don't ever buy cakesfor me from that bakery. sir, the cake you'resavoring right now ..has come from that very same bakery.- okay..what the.. truth shall always prevail, doctor!- please do come in! how long will you continue to laugh?what's wrong with you? my name is jhokumal makhmal pyarelal. is it just your nameor your entire family's? it's my name alone.

have heard a lot aboutyou in this city. you treat the untreatable so wellthat ultimately he becomes incurable. so i've come to you for treatment. do you suffer from laughing sickness?- wrong diagnosis. i suffer from speaking the truth. well, this issomething new i'm hearing. last week, i was out with a girl.. at night, my wife inquiredme where i was coming from. i told her the truththat i was out with a girl.

hearing to this, my wife.. now, for the past one week.. ..she has been following mearound with divorce papers.. ..and i kind of am enjoyingthis merry-go-round. i swindled the money from my accounts. when my father inquired aboutthe discrepancy of rs.100,000.. ..i told him the truth that.. ..i squandered it allon gambling and girls. i got trashed even there.

what exactly do you want?how can i help you? i want you toprescribe me such a medicine.. ..which will help mestop speaking the truth. maganlal, come here!- yes! - where had you gone? i had gone to deliver the flies. from tomorrow onwards,i shall have idlis and not cakes. last time, a patientnamed mehta had visited us. i remember now. isn't he the onewho kept on lying continuously? that's the guy! and hedied lying his way out.

we had then extracted thelying virus from his body. they are shivering todeath in the refrigerator. get those viruses in an injectionfor i've to inject them into him. well, mr. pyarelal!- that's but half my name. call me by my full name.- nothing doing! i'll just call youpyarelal and that's it. this injection will cost you rs.200. i'm ready to pay what you want. just save me from thisterrible disease of truth.

now, smile your way tothat bed and lie down. and, don't forget the fees. here you go, sir. viruses of lies. here you go! - here, sir,hope you do remember my fees. quite well, doctor.but first, give me the injection. raise his shirt. is this some mountain? he took it all in. now mr. pyarelal,let me have my rs.200.

what for?- the fees, what else? have you both lost your mind? before the injection,the deal was for rs.2.. ..that means 200 paise and not rs.200. that's just great, man! couldn't you find anyone else butus to fall victims of your lies? now, let us have our fees! shut up! i don't want anycommotion or else.. - he's changed. ..i'll have you jailed for this.

he's changed.- you cheat and fraud! take rs.2 if you want. do we look like beggars to you?- what else are you then? where did his laughter disappear? sir, looks like you gavehim an overdose of lies. hey! the injection was worth 8and he gave only 2 bucks. uncle, i'm going topanchgani on a picnic. i'm unable to contact home.

i'll definitely tell him that.you enjoy yourself. okay. "come on, let us play a game.." "in such a beautiful weather.." "playing cricket is better.." "come on, let's play this very game.." "the way i'll do the batting.." "many a run i'll make.." "the way i'll do the bowling.."

"many a wicket i'll take.." "you cheat in the game- what did you say.." "you do wrong bowling- no way, i don't.." "go! i refuse to playthis game with you.." "in such beautiful weather.." "playing hockey is better.." "the way i'll carry the ball.." "i'll stop right at the t.." "get it girl!"

"whenever i'll hit from the t.." "right into the goali'll hit the ball.." "you make the foul in this game.." "what are you saying, girl?" "you remain on the offside.." "have you lost your mind?" "i don't want to play this game.what a boring game this is." "loving each other is better.." "everyone lost in this game.."

"none won in this game.." "everyone's so dumb as a dove.." "but all are the masters of love.." "i love you." "come on, let usplay this very game.." hey!- why are you calling out to me? sapna, our dreams havefinally been fulfilled. where is ravi?- he has gone to the picnic. he'll be back by theevening train. what is it?

ravi's results are out. he has passed his ba.with distinction. look for yourself! our son'sphoto appeared in the papers. look. ravi topped in ba. mr. gangaram, the train has arrived. mister, let me have apacket of biscuit in a jiffy. where is the yellow suitcase? iqbal! the yellowsuitcase is still inside.

shall i pick the luggage?- good thing you came, porter.. grandpa, is it really you?- what? who grandpa?- you're mr. gangaram, aren't you? no son. my name is ramlal. no way. you're lying to me. you're hiding something from me.- no. i've been working on this same platformas a porter for the past 20 years. perhaps you're mistaken.it so happens sometimes..

..that what one sees andthinks isn't always what it seems. but..- should i take your luggage? no. we boys are enough topick up our own luggage. ravi, i can't findyour yellow suitcase. abdul, pick up the luggage. laxmi, where are you? i've brought such a terrific newsyou'll go crazy when you hear it. i..- what is it? laxmi, it seems the almightyis quite benevolent today.

he has showered such greathappiness upon my barren heart. what good news is it? today i met our ravi. what? you met our ravi! yes.- oh, god! did you see him?- i saw him from this close. how does he look? he is one in millions.i couldn't take my eyes off him. he's so smart he recognized meas soon as he saw me.

he said, grandpa, is it really you? really!- yes. but, i didn't wish to humiliatehim before his friends.. ..that he's the grandsonof a mere porter. i told him i wasn't his grandpa. i said i'm ramlal. what's this?laxmi, why are you crying? today is truly a joyful day for us. your ravi has stood firstin the entire university.

take a look at his photograph. our ravi! just hold this for a moment. what's this? in his childhood, onhis every success.. ..i would myself bless ravi. today, he may not bewith us but at least.. ..we've been sent his photograph. just hold this upright for a moment.

i wish to bless it.- okay. take this. grandma! grandpa! god bless you! stand up, my son! stand up, son!- no, grandpa! my parents told me such a liethat my grandparents are dead! and you're staying insuch terrible condition! and they..

all right! at least tell us who you are.- who, me? i'm the third son of mr. phoolchand. his third son! hey, junior! i'm over here.- did our father have two wives? he must have been aflirt in his youth. look at what anexample he has set before us. you scoundrels! how dareyou curse your own father. today, i shall beat you up andmake an omelette out of you three.

spare us! have mercy on us!- all right then. i want an honest answerto whatever i ask you. what have you been feedingfather that he became sick? oh, third son of our father.. ..we used to feed him dry fruits andall kinds of delicacies. - oh, yeah! isn't that right, junior?where the hell are you? - that's true. we used to give him allkinds of fruits. - shut up! all of you are lying.- no..

uncle!- yes. hey.. son, the injection withthe virus of truth is ready. i've extracted it fromthe elephant's tail. i'm waiting for your orders.tell me where i should inject it. shall i inject this one or that one? oh, lord! - uncle, you toohave become one of them! have you no character? had i had any character,would i have been a fake doctor? - no.

get ready, then. now, better get readyto spill out the truth.. ..as to what exactlyyou fed your father. answer me,or i'll inject this into you. i'll tell you.- say it. both of them used tofeed dry bread to father. no wonder he has dried up so much.- that's true. if today father is sick,it's because of these two. dad, take this whipand let them have it.

wait! let them have 2whiplashes for breakfast.. ..4 for lunch and 8 for dinner. the day you flog them,let them have no liquids. the day you give them liquid,avoid the flogging. we need the water!- water, flogging, flog.. don't confuse yourself.you're only wasting your time. get to work. that's it! that's enough!they've got their breakfast.

now, how about you revealing.. ..your true identityto these culprits. who is it?- let me have that. look and behold! what are you doing, ravi? dad, the fragrance oftheir sweet memories.. ..can't come fromthese artificial flowers. and moreover, such greatpeople should be garlanded.. ..with the wreathadorned with emotions..

..and fragrant withlove and affection. so from today onwards.. ..no more worshipingthem with flowers. hey, what is he saying? his thoughts are beyond my ken. ravi, when you've learnt yourgrandparents are still alive.. ..why don't you shift them from theirhut and into a decent surrounding? iqbal, you might think i didn't try. but my grandfather isa man of self-respect.

even at this age, he doesn'twant to be a burden to anyone. then do one thing.tell your parents that.. ..your grandparentsaren't dead but alive.. ..and that you've already met them. you mean to say i shouldtell them that.. ..i've come to know of the liethey had told me in my childhood.. ..that my grandparents aren't dead.. ..but are in fact very much alive. by doing this, they'll surelyfeel ashamed of themselves..

..but this won't serve my purpose.- what then? just as they kept this asecret from me for years, i too won't reveal thissecret to them so easily. come on in, phoolchand! this.. what's this sweet for? don't tell me you'veagain begotten a son. to hell with such bloody sons. if i could help it..

..i would have them disappearedby some hocus pocus magic. then what is this sweet for? this is a gesture of saying thanksfor all your kindness. - my kindness! yes, your kindness. do you remember whenmy daughter was born.. ..how much i had grieved and cried? at that time, you'd said thegirl is the form of a goddess.. ..and they're luckywho beget a girl child. my friend, i'm so verylucky radha was born to me.

i can sacrifice amillion sons for her. come on, phoolchand.you're again going off the line. before, you hated thegirl child and now.. ..after being hurt by your sons,you've begun to hate your sons. no, phoolchand, all thisis but the wheel of fortune. do you know something? who is the best friendof a man in this world? it's sorrow. yes. this sorrow loves man so much that..

..it clings to him. this is the very samesorrow that sometimes.. ..comes in the form oflivelihood or a job.. ..sometimes in theform of a wife or a child. it's the same sorrowwhich changes so many faces.. ..and yet wants to clingclose to a man's heart. but man is such a fool that he wantsto alienate this faithful friend.. ..and wanders in searchof the unfaithful joy. joy is like an unfaithful courtesan..

..today with one and tomorrow,who knows where. if man could only getalong with his sorrow.. ..he would neveryearn for joy ever again. well said, gangaram. you've cleared all thedarkness of my life. hi, dad.- hi. you're going to the office,aren't you? - no, son. there's a plot auction at khandala. and that land is a gold mine.

every builder of this cityhas his eyes set on that plot. especially vijay verma. vijay verma. dad, you won't go there. your son will go there. i'll get to meetyour foe vijay verma.. ..and win you that plot too. not only will victory be yoursbut your enemy will be shamed. now, it's time for plot no.12..

..which has caught theattention of all you people. the government has setits price to rs.10 million. you may make yourbidding higher than this. rs.10.2 million!- rs.10.4 million! rs.10.5 million!- rs.20 million! rs.20 million! going once! going twice! going th..- rs.20.5 million! well done, mr. vijay!

mr. vijay is the only one who knowsthe true worth of such a gold mine. is he vijay verma?- yes. he bids rs.20.5 million! going th..- rs.40 million! gullu, what are you doing?have you lost your mind? going once! going twice! going thrice! son, you're an amateur in this field. and if you think that inyour first deal itself.. ..you've greatly profitedby buying this plot..

..then you're greatly mistaken. if you built askyscraper on this plot.. ..and even sold itsflats at the highest rates.. ..you would still face aloss of at least rs.5 million. don't laugh! for now begin your bad days. today is the first day.you should practice hard for it. vijay verma, only time will tell.. ..who makes merry and who grieves.

i'll make you suffer a lot. hello? - i'm your secretary,s.d. sumandoshi here. you're vijay speaking, aren't you? call me mr. vijay, impudent! mr. vijay, there's some problemwith your plot at chinchpokli. i'm not used tohearing a negative answer. when i say i want that plot,it means i want it. am i clear?- yes, sir. dad, can i ask you a question?

how much land does a manneed for his requirements? god made how muchland he wanted to make. and now, i need as much land as.. ..i can get my hands on, understand! well, if you're forcing me to,i'll have to understand it. the fact is i didn't understanda word you explained. your understanding isquite beyond my understanding. what is he..- just a minute! dad, this is addressed to you.

who has sent it on my name? the secretary of the allindia orphaned parents' society. that means, the all indiaorphaned parents' society. it's addressed fromorphanage apartment, orphan lane.. ..waif road, district orphan. strange! haven't heard of such a place before. seems as though somebodyhas played a prank on us. how about checking it out?- that's a good idea! hey, this looks like apicture of someone's house.

have a look at it dad. ganga-laxmi villa. the name sounds familiar. mom, what was my grandpa's name?- i'll tell you. your grandpa's name was gangaram. no, dad, my grandpa'sname wasn't gangaram. how rude of you! what makes you think youknow his name better than me? dad, don't get angry.

my grandpa's name was mr. gangaram. just as you feel insultedif you're not addressed.. ..respectively as mr.. ..it's an insult to his name too.. ..if he isn't addressedwith mr. attached to his name. get it, dad. hail to you! hail to you, mr. vijay! welcome, priest! seeing you reminds me that todayis the death anniversary of my dad.

well, it began since yesterday.but, you're truly great. with wealth anddedication and serenity.. ..every year you observe thedeath anniversary of your parents. you'll observe it this year too,won't you? - why not, sir? those parents who gave birth to us.. ..completing the rites of theirdeath anniversary is our duty. we'll observe it thisyear too. give him rs.2,000. mr. vijay, didn't you readthe budget of this year? there's so much inflation!- how right you are!

times are such that the prices havetruly gone sky high for everything. but humanity hardly holdsany worth in the eyes of man. yes. sapna, pay thepriest rs.2500 more. i'll pay him rs.3,000. after all, it's onlyonce in a year that.. ..the death anniversaryof my in-laws is observed. mom, can't it beobserved many more times? be quiet! you're crazy. you know nothing aboutyour customs and traditions.

this festival comesonly once in a year. so, a death anniversary isactually a kind of a festival! yes.- oh, great! in that case, we'll surely celebratethis festival with great festivity. "the death anniversary has arrived.." "summon the priests, give out alms.." "have a feast, celebrate the death.." "today's children, by god,how much they love.." "by god.."

"consider their parents..- consider their parents.." "consider their parents.." "consider their parentsdead though they live.." "wealth is home, family.oh, their wealth to them.." "their kith and kin and theirwellbeing..oh, their wealth to them.." "wealth is god, their prayers,their answers.." "wealth, their shrine, their faith.." "they sacrifice every relationin hope to gain more wealth.." "this wealth..this money.."

"for the money, for the money.." "for the money..for the money.." "for the money..for the money" "for money, to the deviltheir soul they can sell.." "what's parents, theirgod too they can sell.." "this wealth, this money.." "money..money..this wealth,this money.." "this wealth; this money.." "one's own family appears tobe so shabby and tainted.."

"but when walks in rich tothe in-laws, he's invited.." "they let their parents stay inthe house, but do you know how?" "like bonded slaveswithout pay, this is how.." "they repay the kindness oftheir love, this is how.." "today's children by god,how much they love.." mrs. kamlapati, it's your turn now. what? so soon! but.. miss. bela batliwala, your turn!

doctor.. hey, don't sit down! how can yousit in this condition? lie down. lie down.- be careful now. put your staff down.- i'll have to hear it. hey, he hits back.- hits back! it's your last month. and the way you stroll in as ifyou're not in the condition you are. what are you saying, doctor? neither am ipregnant nor am i a woman.

what the hell is all this then?-i'm just a girl and that too unwed. that's good, but what's your problem? my problem! my problem is that,nobody give me any problem. what kind of a problem is that? doctor, my life is full of tragedy. poor girl!- not poor girl but poor health. what ails you?- my ailment! whenever i see a man,the bell of my heart starts ringing. what rings?- the bell.

the bell!- i get it. what do i do?i'm a damsel in distress. do you mean to say, like this string?- not that! she means by the pulse. i'm a damsel. a girl!- a girl! one day, an old manwalked into my life. seeing him too, myheart began ringing. your heart started ringing evenupon seeing an oldster. - yes. doesn't your heartring when you see me?

don't you dare interferein the interrogation else.. ..i'll be ringing your bell. and then, doctor.. ..a young man walked into my life.- what then? seeing him too, my heartbegan ringing. - very good. but neither of those twoguys had any pity on me. both those men left me. what does that mean?- they abandoned her. - oh, that! doctor, do me a favour.- what?

please sterilise me!- sterilise! that's right.- major operation! definitely! once you cut off the bell of myheart, all my desires will be cut off.. and then, my heart won't ringwhenever i'll see any male. oh, no! why are you sayingsuch depressing things? you're so young and beautifuland so delicate and frail. sweet 16. don't hasten this up.listen to me. do one thing.

i'll give you a potion. give it to any man andhe'll grow fond of you. and that'll make your jobmuch more easier. - really? don't you believe me?i've helped many like you. you see my mixture. hold on. did your bell ring on seeing me?- no. has your bell caught rustor something? - shut up! seeing him, my heart rings for him. how handsome he is!he is preparing the medicine.

why don't i make himdrink that medicine? here is your love potion for men. my best formula since 21 years. whichever men drank thisformula got sexually aroused. what the hell are you doing? bela! doctor! dhatu!- my dream girl, where are you? i shan't abandon you now. i've been so lonely for so long now.

..and drinking so much. is something bothering you? yes, sapna. i'm very upset. i've won every battle in my life. i hope i don't lose to my own son. he has changed a lot. he comes and goes whenever hewants without any regard for us. when he speaks to me, it is to taunt. when i ask him the reason, he justsmiles and sidetracks the issue.

i'm now scared of even his smile. i hope ranjeet isn'tcreating this barrier.. ..between us father and son. i don't know. i too have asked him, but henever answers my questions clearly. let's go and meet radha once. ravi loves radha very much. i'm sure he must havetold her what's on his mind. and if ranjeet has created anymisunderstanding in his mind..

..she'll definitely clear it. ravi won't believe what we say. so it's veryimportant we meet her once. what are you thinking of? i'm thinking that ourconduct towards your parents.. ..on the day of thedeath-anniversary wasn't right. you're saying this only because.. ..you don't know the whole truth. would you like to knowwhat my grandparents faced..

..at the hands oftheir son 20 years ago? come with me. this diary is the autobiographyof my old grandparents. and this is the accountof those wrongs.. ..my father has been inflicting.. ..on them for the past 20 years. read this, and after you've read it,all your doubts will clear.. ..and you'll find the bitter truth. take this and read it.- no, ravi.

seeing the condition of this place,i don't need to read this diary. yes, grandpa! who is she? - she's my..my grandma.no..who are you? don't you even know her name?- i remember it now. her name is radha andshe's the daughter of that.. ..mr. phoolchand, she's his daughter. take their blessings.- what? he's asking you to touch our feet. next time, speak a bit louder.- god bless you!

bless you, child. that's quite all right.here, hold this. dear, your father and iare very close friends. let me tell you something,but don't feel bad. the day you were born, yourfather cried his eyes out. he flooded the wholecity by his wailing. but today, he thanks godhe didn't give him a son.. ..instead of this daughter. today, he's distributingsweets all over town.

dear, can i tell you a secret?what is it? look over there. this ravi is a bittemperamental like his grandpa. do take good care of him.- grandma.. will you stop that?- why? you don't talk like that to children.- what's this? don't you remember the firsttime you came to my house? didn't my father tell you.. ..this gangaram is a bit temperamentaland to take good care of me? tell me if i'm wrong.- yes.

he did. but that day, i had marriedyou and come into your home. she too will be arriving soon.and that day isn't far now. i've never asked anythingfrom god all my life. but now, i'll definitelyask for this daughter-in-law. her face clearly tellsshe'll go nowhere else.. ..but be married to my grandson.am i not right, child? "hello.." "i've received your greetingwhich is full of love.." "within my eyes and inmy breath you dwell.."

"oh, my love, my lifefrom now belongs to you.." "i've received yourgreeting which is full of love.." "there's not a wallnor anyone to stop.." "not scared if anythingcan separate us.." "not scared ifanything can separate us.." "the way our destiny has united us.." "as if we've foundeternal happiness.." "you've accepted my handand taken mine in yours.." "an unanswered prayer hasfinally been answered.."

"you changed my dreams to reality.." "you brought in with you festivity.." "as my bride,you walked into my abode.." "as my soulmate,you walked into my life.." "my desires that were justbudding have now full bloomed.." "let me have the kiss of life,for death has left my side.." porter!- shall i take your luggage, sir? yes.. ravi, what is all this?have you gone crazy?

my mind is perfectly all right. so you want to make a foolof yourself before everybody. the only son of amillionaire is working as a porter. you should be ashamed of yourself.- good! i should be ashamed ofmyself only because.. ..i, the only son of a millionaire,am working as a porter. but if the father of amultimillionaire can work as a porter.. ..then why would the son beashamed doing this menial job? what nonsense are you talking?- nonsense?

i'm only stating the fact.- what do you mean by that? if you really want toknow what i mean by that.. ..look over there. father!- that's right. your father and my grandfather. dad, the curtain of liesyou had drawn before me.. ..has now pulled back and thetruth has come out into the open. it certainly is verydisgraceful that.. ..the father of amillionaire lives in a hut..

..and makes his livingworking as a porter. by now, you must have understood.. ..the reason formy sudden change in behaviour. come right in. the door is open. the way you're looking at meas if you've forgotten me. no. how can anyone forget you? a man can forget himself butnot an offspring like you. i've come to take you to my house.

what? again? but now, i have nothing with me. this shack too is on lease. you might not be able to evensell it off without my knowledge seems as though,you're still avenging.. ..me for the past incidents. no way! what am i or my status? how can i ever have myvengeance with anyone? how can this poor aged porter have..

..his vengeance of such a millionaire? this is exactly what i want,that you not remain a porter anymore. what should i do then?become a beggar? listen, all we'vecome to say is that.. ..let bygones be bygones.come with us to our house. why? have your servants quit theirjobs that you've come to take us? dad! what are you saying? mr. vijay kumar, you don'teven visit the house of god..

..without any specific reason. then why would you ever want to takethis garbage and dump it in your house? don't lie to me. i know you too well. clearly state whatyour true intentions are. then hear clearly what mytrue intentions really are. ravi has come to know of you all. that we're not dead but alive?- and he has gone further from us. this was sure to happensome day or the other. man has to clear the accounts ofhis actions right here in this life.

those children whotrouble their own parents.. ..are troubled by their childrenwhen they become parents. you're reaping what you have sowed. i haven't come here to learnthe lesson of life from you. instead, i've come to tell you that.. ..either come home with us or..- or what? or take this money.. ..and buy yourself a decent homeand try to lead a decent life. you're trying tobribe me to buy a house..

..when you saw yourown home breaking up. vijay.. ..your entire life has passed by.. ..and yet you haven't comeout of the mire of corruption. and whom have you come to bribe? me.. ..who never wished forwealth when he was young. whatever will i do with itwhen my life is withering away? all my life, i havefollowed only one principle that.. ..man should have only asmuch money as he needs to..

..earn a decent living andlead a good decent life. and where desiresexceeds one's necessities.. ..man begins to sinkinto the mire of misdeeds. and this gangaram willprefer to sell his service.. ..ratherthan sellhis soul to the devil. henceforth, don't you darestep on this threshold.. ..with such an evil intention. this is your problem, your headache.solve it yourself. don't you dare come in here again.now, get out! get out.

get out. you've come to buy me! vijay! vijay, stop, son! vijay! vijay, my son! vijay, my son.. ..when will you come? mom! you've come!- yes, mom!

don't talk at all, mom. mom! i've made all the arrangementsfor your treatment. you'll be perfectly all right. do you know whatyour father used to say? that you wouldn't come. but i said vijay is my son.. ..he'll come to me no matter what. he'll definitely come to me. yes.

didn't i always say that.. ..only a mother can understand herchild more than anyone in this world? because the age of amother's unconditional love.. ..is 9 months more incomparison to others. because a mother protects her child.. ..within the refuge of herwomb for a whole 9 months. mom, please be quiet. don't say a word now. yes, mom..

yes, grandma..- ravi, you.. grandma! cheers!- cheers! - excuse me, sir. there's a call for you.- say that i'm in a meeting. it's from your residence. it's urgent. excuse me. it's all right. hello?- hello, vijay! it's sapna here.- speak up. your mother expired today morning.

what? mom died!did she have to die now? if i leave here now,i may lose millions. somehow or the other, handle ravi. personally go there and takecare of all the funeral expenses. i'll definitely comethere if i get the time. did you get so wearywaiting for your son.. ..you lay down never to wake up? you didn't evenconsider that this old man.. ..can't bear the burden of his lifealone on his weak aging shoulders

grandpa! - he can't makethis final journey alone. grandpa!- he can't. mother! mother, what has happened to you? why did you leave us? you should at least havegiven us a chance to serve you. mom, didn't dad come? what do i tell you now, son? i tried my best.

i tried to contact him a lot, but iwasn't able to get through to him. he may not even knowhis mother is no more. if he had known of this tragedy,he would have definitely made it. that's enough, daughter-in-law. no need to shed your tears. the mother who never became aburden to her child when alive.. ..will she be a burdento him after she's dead? the shoulders who aredestined to bear her burden.. ..shall bear them even now.

i need no one's help tocarry her bier. - grandpa! no one at all.- grandpa!! "when one is.." "..renounced by one's own kin.." "in pain, the cry.." "..spells from our lips." "may you not suffer i pray.." "with this your mother forever lay.." "a mother's heart can pardon you.."

this is the buildingproject worth rs.17 billion . this building will be oneof a kind in our country. this will beconsidered as one of the.. ..most beautiful andtallest buildings.. - father! you are erecting one of thetallest structures of the country. but the land that erectedthe structure of your life.. ..slid into the depthsof death's canyon. and you don't careeven a bit about it! do you see this?

this urn holds thecremated remains of motherhood. it preserves those pieces of bones.. ..which formed your body. it's your mother's body in the formof ashes that's enclosed in this urn. the body that held you inits womb for nine months. and this is how you paidher your last respects.. ..that you had no time to spare toeven carry her body to the graveyard! all your life you let her burn in thefire of agony by your callous attitude. and when the time really came to setfire to her pyre, you backed off!

the most importantduty of a son is to.. ..repay back his mother'saffection showered upon him. to cremate her body.. but you.. you were so engrossed minting money.. ..that you didn't even repay her. ravi, couldn't you find abetter time to discuss this? dad, all i've come to sayis that there's still time. you still have some timeto repay back the kindness..

..that she showered on youby performing your duty. according to the customs.. ..until and unless the remainsare consigned into the ganga.. ..the soul of the deceasednever rests in peace. but, you don't even have the time.. ..to take these ashes andconsign these remains into the ganga. that's why.. ..i've brought this urn to you.. ..so that you may at least touch it.

i'll take care of therest of the rituals. touch it, dad. whom are you shy of? these people! none of these bigshots present here.. ..have been born without parents. dad, touch it. dad, please touch it! thanks, dad. thanks a lot.

but before i leave,there's something i want to tell you. the pyre in which mygrandma was cremated.. ..my relationship with you toogot cremated in those flames. the sorrow and grief youbestowed upon your parents.. ..now it's your turn. when your only childwill go away from you.. ..only then will you realize.. ..this pain is much morepainful than the pangs of death. now there exists norelation between the both of us.

i'm going, dad. i'm leaving you forever. ravi! ravi! ravi! what? your husbandis barking like a dog! and your dog carriesthe bag to the office! oh, my god! oh,darling, it's very serious. very interesting. don't bother.hello, who is it? mrs. bhandari! i remember you. the other day,you had paid me a visit..

..with both your husband and yourdog, as both were feeling unwell. in haste, my compounder injected.. ..wrong injections to both of them. so i've fired that compounder. and nowadays,i eat only south indian dishes. i quit eating cakes.he used to put flies in them. that was his part time business. yes, don't you worry.he isn't here any more. i've hired a new compounder now.

do one thing. bring both yourhusband and your dog together. then, i'll have them emit thewrong serums injected into them. this is but a piece of cake for me. darling, enjoy it. doctor!- sorry, got no change. instead of the patients,the beggars walk in. doctor, i'm no beggar.i'm your patient. my patient! when didyou take my treatment? one month before.- strange! you're still alive!

what was your ailment? i had got myself injectedthe serum of telling lies. i remember you now! you promised to pay mers.200 but instead.. ..handed me only rs.2and gave me the slip. but doctor, now i seemto be slipping away. after getting myself injectedfrom you, i began lying so much.. ..that i'm beinghunted down by everyone. is that so!

my life is in danger now. only you can save me now. doctor, hear what happenedtoday with the eunuchs. thinking i couldmake some extra cash.. ..i decided to testifyfalsely against the eunuchs. i was to testify the truthbut instead committed perjury.. ..that a eunuch had committed a rape. as soon as they heard that word.. ..the entire eunuchcommunity got mad at me.

as soon as i steppedout of the court.. ..all those eunuchs beatme up black and blue.. ..and i directly landedup into your dispensary. doctor, please save me from this lie.. ..and inject me withthe serum of truth. i get you now!now i have you by your tail! this is what you call, tit for tat. let me have rs.400. rs.400!- you heard it right.

rs.200 for the last timeand rs.200 for this time. let me have it. i'll pay you but first,give me the injection. no more promises. let me seethe cash or you may leave. doctor, here you go. one..two.. ..three..four. all right. now lie down over there. the scumbag!

darling, here you go.the injection of truth. thank you, darling. just a minute!let me fix this first. now, lift up your waist. lower your legs, will you? now, one..two.. he took in the whole thing. doctor, can i ask you a question?- go ahead! where did this smoke emit from? this is all because ofthis truth injection.

the viruses of lies got burntand evaporated into thin air. and now, you'll begin to speak thetruth and nothing but the truth. shut up. how much you laugh. doctor, i badly needto tell you a truth. should i?- go ahead! the rs.100 bills igave you right now.. yes, here they are.- these crisp ones. they're all counterfeit notes. darling!

please sign these papers. what kind of papers are these? 20 years ago.. ..my father had fraudulentlyseized your property. in order to get that land back,i wish to sue him. what should i say? you are doing exactly the same thing.. ..that your dad did to his father. then, what's thedifference between you two?

there's a vast difference between us. he had tricked you and i'm tryingto get back what's rightfully mine. when i was this small,my grandpa had taught me that.. ..right is the second name of truth. it doesn't matter if you've to putyour life on the line to get it, do it. but get it somehow or the other. grandpa, i haven't forgottenthat teaching till today. come hell or high water.. ..i'll get backwhat's rightfully mine.

he has sued me for rs.600,000! ravi has sent me a notice.- what? ravi has sent you a notice!!- yes, he has sent me a notice. he'll prosecute his own father. he'll drag me to court. is this what we brought him up to do? as your legal adviser,it's my duty to tell you that.. ..if you take any legalactions against this notice.. ..you'll lose this case.

your father's bungalow thatyou had fraudulently seized.. ..rightfully belongs to ravi. sir, there's one way. your vacant madh islandbungalow can be sold off.. ..and you can pay them off. i think it would bebest if you did this. ravi is such a great boy. i tried to reason out with him somuch that he's your real father. please don't send him thenotice for this huge an amount.

how about sparing him ahundred or two more? - shut up! well, if you say so. what are you saying, mr. nischal? i had submitted my projectreport about a month back and.. ..you're telling me now.. ..your centraloffice rejected my report! because you've boughtthat plot for rs.40 million. and the real valuation ofthat plot is only rs.30 million. you suffered a loss of rs.10million in merely buying the plot!

on that land, no matter howtall buildings you erect.. ..or how lavish flats you make.. ..or how expensively you sell them.. ..you still face the loss ofrs.5 million on that land. and our bank doesn't financesuch a loss-bearing proposal. i'm sorry, mr. gulshan. just one more thing, mr. gulshan. what mr. vijay vermadid to you was very bad. he incited you to bid the highest..

..and you suffered aloss of rs.10 million! vijay verma! he made me suffer such a heavy loss! but never mind! i'm notgoing to give up so easily. i may have faced a loss in business ..but i shan't face a loss in life. i shall wipe you outfrom the face of the earth. i've shown you all therooms from top to bottom. i hope you've liked it.well, there's nothing not to like.

all that's very well,but where is mr. vijay? he'll be here any minute. there he is. well, what do you know.think of the devil and he's here. sir, i've shown them everything. well, did you like it? the place is good and theprice you stated too is fine by us. we have a deal. so take this advance of rs.500,000.- wait!

you did make the deal but alas,the deal is wrong. that's right. perhaps,it has slipped dad's mind that.. ..on my 21st birthday.. ..he had gifted me thisvilla as my birthday present. so only i have the rightto sell it off. i alone. and for your kind information.. ..at this moment i'm notinterested in selling this place. ravi..my son.. mr. vijay, what kind ofa dirty trick is this?

play this sort of trick againand you'll suffer miserably. what insolence is this? by whose permission didyou change this board? don't you know this house is mine? true, dad. this house is yours. but the only child doesn'tneed anyone's permission.. ..to change the nameplate of his parents' house. forgotten so soon how 25 years ago.. ..in the same manner..

..you threw out the nameplate of ganga-laxmi villa.. ..and erected vijay-sapnaapartments in that place? when ganga-laxmi villa canbecome vijay-sapna apartments.. ..then why can't vijay-sapnavilla become ravi-radha villa? dad, you had thrown out your parents.. ..from their home by treachery. thanks to the customs and traditionsembedded into me by my grandpa.. ..i'm treating you with respect.- ravi! have you no manners whenyou talk to your parents?

only they who know the meaning ofmanners have the right to teach it. i'm ashamed of myself.. ..to have been born to agreedy and guileful mother like you. ravi!- dad.. ..don't you dare scream.i too know how to scream. before i lose control over myself.. ..better leave this place. let's go, radha.gateman, shut the gate. sapna, what happened?- vijay, ravi will..

no..i had a very bad dream. what did you dream of? vijay, ravi will..no,he can't do this to us. he can't do this to us. i want none of this.i only want my ravi back. i want none of this wealth andproperties. i only want my ravi. vijay, please bringmy ravi back to me. i can't live without him. ravi, my son!

a multimillionaire of thiscity has come to my office! that's enough, ravi. don't hurt me furtherwith your barbed words. my son, i can bear it no more. i'm completely broken. you broke too soon. my son.. ..if you wish to seizeeverything your father holds.. ..and make him helpless,then i'm ready for it.

i will my entire wealthand properties to you. and son, whatever ihold all belongs to you. take all this but.. ..please, come homewith me. come home! it's kind of strangehearing you talk so sweetly. seems as though a robber who hasall his life robbed others' homes.. ..when his own home was indanger of being robbed.. ..he shed his old skinand turned a new leaf. that's enough, my son!

by the way, in orderto get back your son.. ..what price can you pay? whatever you ask. can you really give what i want? just try me once. then first of all, you'll haveto clear the debt of that lie.. ..you had told me 20 agothat my grandparents were dead. you'll have to bring back thehappiness of my grandparents.. ..which you took away from them.

make up for every year.. ..every day and everymoment of their life.. ..you ruined by your callousness. give an accounting of the tears.. ..both of them haveshed in all these years. father, bring back my grandmother.. ..who slipped into the armsof death waiting for you. if you can set everything right.. ..then i'm ready to come with you.

dad, do you remember? once, it was you whohad told me that.. ..a businessman'stime is very precious. he shouldn't while itaway over nonsensical talks. i get it. i get it, son.. ..only then will you realize that.. you haven't seen as muchhappiness in your life as much.. ..misery i've seen of peoplelike you who prefer to be sold. a day will come when..

..you'll want to cry your heart outto the world and.. ..tell them of your tragic tales.. ..but you'll have no audience. you'll be the solitary weeper.. insolent! you like to make high bids, don't you? you old haggard! you like to makehigh biddings to ruin me, but today, i will sendyou so high up that .... you will longer be ableto make your biddings.

beat up this scoundrel! so, you love tomake high biddings! ravi, some people haveattacked your father. iqbal, get off! iqbal!- what? go from here along with father.. yes, okay. don't you worry now. you rascal! you raised your handsagainst my father!

scoundrel! i don't think i'll be able to make it. if i happen to die.. ..hand over my body not tomy parents but to my grandpa. okay, young man. take him to theoperation theater immediately. i'll be right there. ravi!- excuse me, it's an emergency case. doctor, how is my ravi? his life isn't in danger, is it?

i can't say anything at this stage.i'll try my level best. the rest lies in thehands of the almighty. i don't know whoseprayers worked the miracle.. ..and saved his life. sometimes, the almighty works hismiracle through the doctor's hands. today also, a miracle has takenplace and not some medication. but how are you bothrelated to the patient? we're his parents. doctor, if the patient isin the condition to talk..

..then is itpossible for us to meet him? he's in the condition for it,but you can't meet him. why? - because the patientdoesn't wish to speak to you. what?- yes. i'm sorry. he onlywants to meet his grandpa. why not us? doctor, just once..just once.. i'm extremely sorry. he's punishing us sogravely for our sins.

so gravely. how are you, my boy? the grandson who has the blessingsof a grandpa like you.. ..what harm can death do to him? but today, you've hurt my feelings. yes, son. if my grandson too treatshis parents in the same way.. ..that my own son treated me then.. ..what difference will there bebetween my son and my grandson?

all my life, i've faced theblow inflicted upon me by my son.. ..and now in my old age.. ..am i supposed to face the blowfrom my grandson? - no, grandpa. could i ever cause you any suffering? i've only tried to make.. ..my parents realize their mistake. to teach them that.. ..when children dump their parents.. ..how badly their heart breaks.

remember one advice ofthis grandpa of yours. the almighty has fixed alimitation for everything. parents can punish theirchild but there's a limit. they can slap him but theycan't kill him, can they? in the same way, no matter how bad.. ..how mean or howevil the parents are.. ..children can't punish their parents. this is what religion statesand the religious books state. do you remember i had taught allthis to you in your childhood?

grandpa, i remember everything. i remember everything. just once tell me that.. ..you're not distressed by me.- no, my son.. you're not upset with me, are you? could i ever beupset with my grandson? yes, my child!- you haven't slept the whole night. i'll sit with ravi.please go and have some rest. dad, please forgive us!

please get up! son, for the past 20 years,the consequence.. ..i wanted you to seeand you refused to see.. ..well, have you seen it today? son, a man's life is like a mirror. the only difference is that,in an ordinary mirror.. ..our reflection showsback our actions immediately. but life is such a mirror.. ..which shows the reflection ofour actions many years later..

..but by then,it's quite late to make amends. yes, father, what you'resaying is absolutely right. how true it is. i'vebeen wrong, i have sinned. and that's why my son risked hislife in order to save my life.. ..and yet refused to even meet us. so, i'm leaving everything.. ..and going away from here forever. where will you go? anywhere.

someplace where i canmake penance for my sins. changing placesdoesn't change the man. don't change placesbut change your heart. change your ideas. the greedthat has taken root in your heart.. ..uproot it and cast it out. greed is acapricious and evil creature. it takes man on the road oftemptations and corruption. he who yields himself up totemptation always suffers misery. easy money does gives man asmooth sail in the beginning..

..but then it drowns him sodeep in the ocean of grief that.. ..no matter how hard he may struggle,he never finds the shore of joys. so accept this.. ..accept before the whole world that.. ..he who treads the path ofevil can never experience.. ..happiness in his journey of life. this principle will notonly enlighten your life but.. ..the lives of your progeny and millionsof misguided youngsters of this country. and their parents willbless you wholeheartedly.

now accept this to be true.- i accept it, father. i do accept it. i'll shout out to theworld that young men! never be so driven by the greed.. ..for wealth that you wouldcast off your parents. don't treat them badly. otherwise what you do today.. ..you'll have to face that tomorrow. you'll have to face that tomorrow.- dad..

son! today, i've got new parents. dad, i know my limitations. but i wanted to make my parentsrealize their limitations. but, if i'vehappened to make a mistake.. ..please forgive me. no, my son!- please forgive me! please forgive me! "don't be a fool as to lose thischance to serve your parents."
