Bandini (बन्दिनी)

5 female prisoners were transferred here from Jabalpur prison.

Tulsi!

Zubieda Bano!

Kalyani!

Jamuna!

Sukhiya!

Sir!

Tiger!

Sir!

Who is it? - Mahabal Singh!

Greetings! - Greetings. What's the matter?

There's noise in the female ward.

Really? - Yes.

I'll get the key.

We can't live here! Open the door!

Let us out! - Quiet!

Why can't you live here?

We're scared of blood! - Stop!

Stop!

Open the door! - Open the door!

Quiet! The jailor's here!

The jailor's here!

Greetings sir.

The constable told me that someone's ill. - Yes.

The old woman Ramdai vomited blood twice.

The rest of the women are very scared.

Did you call the doctor? - Yes.

The doctor is here.

I'm sorry to be late.

Who is ill? - Prisoner no. 8, Ramdai.

Today she vomited blood while coughing.

Blood? - Yes.

Let's see, Devendra. - What'll you do?

I'll go alone. - Hurry up.

If I stand here for long,

..even I'll have to be admitted in your hospital!

Everyone go out.

I won't survive doctor. - Shut up!

Were you ill for a few nights previously? - Yes.

I'm very thirsty.

Get water.

Don't worry, you'll be fine.

What happened? - She's suffering from tuberculosis.

She'll have to be sent to the hospital ward.

Fine. The female hospital is empty.

But we'll need a nurse too.

Warden. - Yes.

Inquire if anyone of them is ready to serve her.

Who'd like to be with that old woman?

They're so scared after seeing her vomit blood.

Ask them.. - As you say.

Is anyone of you ready to be with Ramdai?

Why are you quiet?

I'm ready.

But she can't be with her. - Why?

It's contagious.

At this age, the tuberculosis virus spreads very easily.

I don't care doctor.

Don't bother. Jailor, just order me.

I can serve her very well.

That's not the point.

In spite of knowing that it's risky, why are you doing it?

All those who are here have relatives and families.

They don't want to take this risk.

Yes, if you order anyone, she'll helplessly have to agree.

But is it good to force someone for this? - Kalyani!

In front of sir.. - Sushila.

You're talking about others. Don't you have any family?

No. No one.

Not even for namesake.

Strange girl! She's come here just a few days ago,

..but she's friendly with everyone.

Here's my ticket. Write the order.

You might forget tomorrow.

Is this the time for sir to write things?

Pen please.

Oh god! Look at her audacity!

She spoke to the jailor as if she's related.. - Shut up!

Stop your nonsense! Go to your place!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5..

Why were you so shocked on seeing that girl's card?

I was shocked to see the accusation on that girl.

She's a murderer. She poisoned someone.

And today she wants to save someone else.

The holy scriptures say,

..god can't predict the character of women and the destiny of men.

Then who are we?

I don't know about the holy scriptures.

But I feel that if one commits a crime once,

..he doesn't become a criminal.

Why have you brought this bed? - Doctor has sent it.

We're are slogging here,

..and Kalyani is sleeping peacefully at the hospital!

Why are you jealous?

Everyone was quiet when the Sushila asked you to serve that old woman!

Why are you feeling bad?

The fever is still high.

We'll have to take her to the hospital for the X-ray.

Keep her ready tomorrow.

Doctor, why did you send another bed for the patient?

For you.

No. I don't need it.

I'll sleep on the floor.

It's a rule in prison that everyone will get what they deserve.

Even if he doesn't want.

I'm an ordinary prisoner.

I'm here to bear the punishment of my mistake.

I deserve only 3 blankets and a mattress.

Even I have duties as a doctor.

I did everything to fulfill my duty.

Listen. - What happened?

I'm just a C-class prisoner.

Jailors and policemen don't talk to me politely.

Why are you talking to me so politely?

I'm newly appointed in the prison.

So I couldn't learn its customs.

I don't think one should talk impolitely to C-class prisoners.

Number 12, Deputy Mahesh is calling you.

Where? - Next to the tap.

Why are you standing there? Come here.

How is your patient now?

She has high fever.

I see.

Yes, after inquiring, I found out that your case isn't true.

I also consulted a lawyer.

If I could know something else from you.. - Thanks a lot.

The case isn't false.

I wonder why the doctor appointed you at the hospital.

It's dangerous for you to serve a tuberculosis patient.

I wanted to do this.

Kalyani.

You forgot your ticket at the ward yesterday.

Here! Keep it with you. How's that old woman?

I'll attend to her.

Both the lungs are infected.

But I'm sure I'll cure her fast.

I'll start giving her booster shots from tomorrow.

Doctor.

The good news is that Ramdai slept peacefully in the night.

She was fine in the morning.

You saved that poor lady.

I won't accept the entire credit of saving her life.

You too served her all day.

Serving is the best remedy for this ailment.

Ramdai, are you fine now? - Yes, sir.

Let me check the temperature.

Should I keep resting even now?

No, go for walks.

But beware of the monsoon winds.

Kalyani!

Kalyani, listen.

Yes.

You look beautiful when you're engrossed in work.

How long will Ramdai keep her mouth shut?

Oh.

"Oh sweet little bird, what are you chirping in the morning? Tell me."

"Oh sweet little bird, what are you chirping in the morning? Tell me."

"I'm a bird who lives in the cage. My wings are useless."

"There's a big gap between us. How should I come to you?"

"Oh sweet little bird, what are you chirping in the morning? Tell me."

"It's spring, the garden blooms. The mango trees are lush."

"I peep through the window. Spring has arrived."

"Oh sweet little bird, what are you chirping in the morning? Tell me."

What's going on? I went to the kitchen and you started singing!

Madam, I'm in a good mood today. - That's ok.

But the prison rule is to keep your mouth shut, whatever the mood!

From tomorrow, you'll have to grind those lentils again!

Sir, give some medicines to Kalyani too.

She couldn't sleep all night, due to a headache.

What happened to you?

Nothing. I caught a cold.

Don't be careless about your health. Let me check your pulse.

What a taste! Romancing with a criminal!

You're educated, a doctor with a nice job.

Maintaining family's dignity is also important.

Brother, this is called love!

"Love doesn't distinguish between religions."

"When you're hungry, you don't mind even soiled dishes."

What's the use if one isn't blind in love?

Softly! He's coming!

He looks like Romeo!

This isn't a place to romance, it's a prison!

If you want to do this, go out.

Oh god! Don't you have any other topic?

Deputy Jailor went to the Jailor to talk about this matter.

Be patient till then.

Kalyani, doctor has sent special food for you at the hospital!

Rich food!

She's so lucky!

Eggs and butter along with bread! Great!

I'm such a fool!

Had I served that old woman, even I would've enjoyed now!

And you would've trapped a young man too!

Doctor.

Why did you send special food for me?

Are all those, who serve tuberculosis patients in hospitals,

..served special food?

I don't know about the others, but this is the rule here.

But do I need this diet, or are you doing me a favour?

No! You do need it.
