Gehrayee (गहराई)

Can I tell you something, brother?

We need one more tube well brother. In the northern side.

I have spoken to the overseer. It will be done cheaply.

And brother...

lf this much is done, I swear, our crop will double.

What do you say? Brother, there is another thing.

We should do something to sell the crop too.

The previous broker has expired.

His sons have taken a job in Bangalore.

We'll have to appoint some new trustworthy broker.

What do you say?

Our crops will be the best in the area.

I have even started fasting every Thursday.

The Goddess Yellama should give her blessings too.

Everything isn't done by our actions.

What do you say?

Are you going back tomorrow?

Yes. - Our land is very good.

We should look after it nicely.

What do you say?

- Move, move... - Snake, kill it.

No, no, brother, don't kill it.

It's a guardian of this prosperity.

He stays here. He guards the land and the family.

He won't bite, he will go away himself.

Let it go. Let it go.

Shiva! Shiva! Shiva!

Chenni, Tenni, Chenni bring some water.

Tell Bilkis that we will have food quickly.

And keep some water for me outside.

Chenni: Father has told me to bring the food.

Go, take it away quickly.

I know, brother. You don't believe in such things.

But I think that you should hold a prayer here.

Chenni, give brother some more pulses.

We have made pulses just as you like it.

When will Nandu brother and sister Uma come here?

It's been many days that they haven't come here for a vacation.

Yes, they should come too.

All this is theirs, isn't it? And electricity will come here too.

What do you say?

Chenni was just two years old when Majhi died.

Since that time, Chenni is everything for us.

She has brought up Chenni.

I know..

You never liked me keeping Chenni.

Because she is of a lower caste.

But she is a very big hearted woman.

And brother,

the one who's looking for support, doesn't see any religion.

What do you say? Oh!

Once the electricity comes, there'll be light all over here just like any city.

It won't take long now.

- It will come any day now... - Baswa come here.

Sit down. I want to tell you something.

Therefore, I have come here. I have sold this land and house.

Brother...

Yes. I will be retiring in some years.

And I wish to build a bungalow in Bangalore.

You don't know how much it takes...

...for a bungalow to be built nowadays.

The new owner of this place will have a soap factory here.

He will come here someday next week.

Show him this place. And give him the room's keys too.

And see, he shouldn't have any trouble.

Factory here? What will happen to the land, brother?

Nothing is permanent, Baswa. This land is sold.

The villagers will get a job in the factory.

Other people will think of settling a factory here too.

And then slowly, the whole village will progress.

All this, all this, on this land?

Brother, what will happen to the crop?

Only the room will stay. Everything else will be destroyed.

All my trees, all my plantations...

How will the trees stay Baswa?

Once the factory is settled here, all the trees will be cut down.

But you don't have to get worried about anything.

I will arrange for you to work in some bank in Bangalore.

You will have a quarter to stay too.

I have spoken to Mr. Shetty of Canara bank too.

If you want to stay here, that can be arranged too. Okay?

Why do you think so much? Please sleep now.

How can I sleep? How can I just sleep?

This, this is our mother. Is it nothing for brother?

Can brother sell his mother, such guts?

- Please sleep. - No!

I will ask brother. Why doesn't he sell his mother?

Factories will be put up. The trees won't stay. Nothing will stay.

Everything will be lost.

What will be left? The factory?

This whole land will go beneath bricks and mortar.

- This is rape. This is rape. - What do you say?

- No... - Such good harvest, these green trees.

- Everything will be ruined. - This is our fate.

What can anyone do? This isn't your land.

Yes.

This isn't my land. This is brother's land.

He can do whatever he wants to.

So what? Am I nothing here? Do I not own anything here?

I have made all this with such hard work.

My whole youth has been invested on this.

This is my Lakshmi. This is what has fed me.

Oh no.

Who will save it now?

Oh no.

Brother has done wrong. He has sold his mother.

So you decide about yourself quickly and tell me.

And see to it, they don't face any problems.

You start packing your luggage right away.

And make your laborers understand it.

They will get a job and the salary will be more too.

Okay? Come on. Gopal.

Oh yes, those old photographs. Send them to Bangalore.

They shouldn't get spoilt.

Let's go, Gopal.

And tell me quickly about yourself.

What should I tell you?

That girl whom I saw on MG Road yesterday what a gait she had!

Wow! I felt that I should run after her and...

- So someone's gait makes you crazy? - Of course.

Your taste is going so low now.

Oh! That is where the real fun is.

It must be for you. I love Madhya Pradesh.

Madhya Pradesh?

Why not? Below the blouse and over the sari.

Fantastic.

Nandu, which Pradesh do you like?

We are just talking in the air here for me and you.

Nandu's life is arranged properly.

- 120 pounds of Miss Neeladevi. - Correct.

Wow! We should have a smoke on this one.

No. you know, I don't like cigarettes.

Lips get bitter due to smoking.

I see, I see. I understand.

Here are my Rs. 2. I am going.

- So quickly? - Yes.

My daddy is coming back from the tour today...

- We'll be eating food together. - Okay, okay.

Don't make such a huge excuse. Go.

See, you Nandu.

See, you.

He will go directly to Neela now.

Mother, holidays and picnics, all are over.

When are the factory people going?

They will go within a few weeks.

Daddy, we should have kept that place.

Oh! Come, come. That has been thought about earlier.

It is necessary for us to have a house in Bangalore, okay?

But what did Baswa say?

He hasn't decided anything as yet...

...when he will, he will tell me.

Ramu, you have started applying chilly with closed eyes?

Take some care and apply it.

Mother, I am going on a trip on the eighteenth.

- I will take curd and rice with me. - Okay.

For eight to ten people.

Rama, don't forget it.

It should be ready at five in the morning.

- The eighteenth is a Friday, isn't it? - Yes.

Where are you going, brother?

- Nandi. To hunt rabbits. You told Baswa about photos.

Yes, I already told.

We will go in the morning and come in the evening.

Madam it is the new moon's night on the eighteenth.

Oh Nandu, can't you go on some other day.

Mother, everything has been decided previously.

And some boys and girls are coming from Mysore too.

But Nandu, there will be prayers in the house on that day.

It is a very bad day, son.

And then going out on that day is not good.

- You go some other day. What nonsense!

Saroja, you believe in all these things even today?

Even I have to go to the board meeting that day.

Should I cancel that?

See, Nandu, this new moon night and all is hogwash.

When I die, don't do any rituals for me.

What are you saying? You shouldn't say like this?

All this should be stopped.

Nandu, you go.

Nobody listens to me.

Nandu, if you are going, go carefully.

The prior meeting is...

And that gentlemen, wraps up the matter.

Well good that is settled.

You know, I think that automatic...

...reams will make the workers restless.

- I think he is right. - He has got a point.

Why will that happen?

We are giving them the necessary compensation...

...which is more according to the company.

We will see, even then I have my suspicions.

It is all right that we are giving them compensation.

But the matter isn't about the money.

Don't see it just according to the rules.

Look according to the mankind too.

It isn't so easy in actuality. People will be sacked.

There will be joblessness. There will be so much restlessness.

We have so many problems on our head.

- True. It is quite true you know... - Possible.

No, Mr. Rao. You don't have to get so worried.
