Shaandaar

'Lakshmi Mansion.'

Please sit!

Are you all fine?

Yes!

Mr. Shastri! - Yes?

Did your son get a seat in medical college?

Sir, you forget the good deeds that you do.

He got a seat. He has become MBBS.

He has started his practice even.

Is that so? He became a doctor?

Yes, Mr. Shankar. Did your child pass his inter?

Yes. He is going to enroll himself for BA.

Okay. - But..

What? Shortage of fees?

Say it openly.

Mr. Rajan, when the giver is aware of the mendicant's need..

..why should the mendicant say the same?

Fine. Send your child to my office tomorrow.

I will give him a year's fees.

Greetings. - Greetings.

Good morning! - Good morning!

Good morning! - Good morning!

Good morning!

Here! - Here!

Do you all use the matches of my factory?

Yes!

No matchstick is better than Kabutar brand. - Yes.

No flattery.

Sir, Kabutar (Pigeon) is considered the symbol of peace.

Thanks to Allah, my boss's brand name is Kabutar.

Sir, Kabutar eats less but it provides livelihood to many people.

It's all your grace, sir.

Kabutar is my family's grandeur.

At the time when my great-grandfather opened..

..Kabutar brand matches factory..

..my family was an ordinary family.

This brand has taken us to great heights.

Yes. Boss, today you didn't crack any joke.

Earlier you used to make your staff laugh out loud..

..as soon as you entered the office.

I forgot.

Hear a joke.

A man put a golden chain around an emaciated itching..

..dog's neck and he was strolling with it on the street.

A passer-by saw this and he asked.

Where are you taking this donkey?

The man said, 'Can't you see?'

It's not a donkey, it's a dog.

The passer-by replied, I wasn't asking you..

..I was asking the dog.

Wow, sir!

Is it a sin for you to laugh? - Why, boss?

I cracked a joke, but you didn't laugh.

Boss, my father told me this joke when I was only 4 years old.

How can I laugh on hearing the same old joke?

I see! My joke is old! What's your name?

Chandar.

See me in my room after half an hour.

Hello!

What did you say?

Share's price is declining. - Yes, boss.

Do one thing.

Buy some more shares.

Boss, people are selling it and you wish to buy?

I am putting my money at stake! Not anybody else's!

Buy it!

Secretary.

Yes, boss.

Please come and see me!

Coming, boss!

Yes, boss!

Are the cheques ready?

Cheques for charity?

Here.

2000 rupees for blind people's relief association.

10000 rupees for the dumb and deaf.

5000 rupees for Hindu Orphanage Centre.

And 2000 rupees for Islam Orphanage Centre.

Good!

You definitely know your job!

Boss!

Boss, you'd called me.

No need to remind me.

How long have you been working here? - 6 months.

I see!

Pratima.. I am making Chandar my factory's works manager.

Boss.. many senior employees are working in this factor.

Won't it be injustice to them?

I very well know who deserves which post.

Good morning, boss! - Good morning!

Ramchand! Bhalu!

Everybody, come here! - Coming, boss!

Mr. Chandar is now factory's works manager.

You all will have to follow his orders.

Got it? - Yes, boss!

Boss, this factory is our life. And you are our boss.

We will obey all your orders.

Carry on!

Boss, I think you have given me this treat..

..because you have again been elected as the mayor.

No, Chandar. This is not true.

I gave this treat.. because I like you.

Thank you, boss.

Chandar, you shouldn't feel shy while eating.

I am eating to my heart's content.

Maybe, you are not used to eating with knife and spoon.

At home, I eat using hands.

Actually, Indian food is typically unique.

You don't relish it until you don't eat it with your hands.

Chandar, the food and not the hands carries the taste.

Right, Pratima?

Everybody's opinion and taste is different.

Sure!

Let's sit in the hall for sometime.

Come, Chandar.

Chandar, do you like fruits?

Fruits and flowers are nature's gift.

But flowers are to be sniffed and fruits are to be eaten.

Here.

No. I've had enough of food.

The amount of food that boss fed me, it comprises my two meals.

No, thanks.

I will leave now. Goodbye.

Greetings.

Come Mr. Dalpatram. Sit.

What's the matter, Mr. Rajan?

Today Lakshmi mansion is holding a feast.

Would you prefer food or fruit?

Animals eat fruits. It's made for animals. Right, Mr. Rajan?

Only animals can understand animals.

Human too are a species of animal.

But have only two legs.

Rajan, today there is a dog show in the city.

Meaning, display of dogs.

I have bought a ticket for you as well. Let's go.

You too are participating? - What!

I can't come. Take my dog along.

I will shoot you! Will I accompany a dog?

No, my dog will accompany you. - Daddy!

Mr. Rajan! You always break Chandni's heart.

Do consider that she comes to you with high hopes.

She does come. But she doesn't leave.

Why should I leave? This is my house!

And you are my bride.

Dear, don't joke. Mr. Rajan, who is he?

He is Mr. Chandar. He is my factory's works manager.

He is Mr. Dalpatram.

He is the owner of Murgi brand match factory.

Glad to meet you. - Likewise.

Here.

Mr. Rajan, whenever I drink coffee, I happen to recall Shanta.

After Shanta's death, Lakshmi mansion..

..seems to have lost its grandeur.

Only a woman can make the house radiant.

This house will surely change someday.

Some fortunate girl will surely..

..be the mistress of this house, Mr. Rajan.

What are you trying to say?

It's crystal clear.

Who knows? Maybe, Chandni will be the mistress of this house.

I don't need Chandni or any other girl. I prefer living in darkness.

You always say the same thing whenever you come.

I don't like it at all!

Henceforth, stop coming here!

Daddy! He is totally mad!

Idiot! What does he thinks of himself?

Look Madam.

When you go to a decent man's house..

..you should take his name respectfully.

Hey, you old man! Do you think I am Goddess?

Do you think I am a stone idol?

I was born in an AC hospital. All cold and chilly.

I studied in a convent school.

In college, I made all the guys dance to my tune.

I am the symbol of modern youth.

Come on, daddy. Let's get out.

Dinu uncle.. who were they?

Chandar sir, there are a few people in the world..

..who hurt others for their selfish motives.

And there are a few like Rajan sir.

Cherishing the old memories, they fall in love..

..with loneliness and sorrow.

They hide their tears behind their smile.

Thus they revere the old bonds.

Bonds.. of many lifetimes.

Wake up!

Wake up!

Wake up!

Tea.

Tea.

Its 6 30.

Good evening! - Come.

What is this? Leaving all the fruits you are eating this raw mango.

I was feeling nauseous.

I see!

What!

Really!

Will I have to eat it?

Mr. Rajan!

Nurse, how is Shanta?
