Shriman Satyawadi

Here. Anything else I can do for you?

- No thank you. How much for this? - Rs. 2. 25p.

But the store opposite quoted a price of Rs. 2. 75p.

Everyone has his own way of doing business.

I am happy with an honest living.

Whatever we may say, everyone

else calls him a God's devotee.

Not God's devotee, he is a fraud.

He wants to uproot us and establish himself in the market.

He even sells goods cheaper to attract customers.

That's what I fear.

Take a gun and keep firing until

the enemy doesn't leave the world.

- What do you say? - Have you thought of its consequences?

I have. You will never be garlanded.

That only leaves the noose.

Even I will pray to God that you die peacefully.

I am your partner after all.

Rehmat, since you are my partner

even you will have to go to the gallows with me.

You two have started fighting?

Think of what we must do.

I have thought of a plan. Just watch what I do.

Even I have a family like you all.

- Father! - What is it? Why are you shouting?

- I am going to school. - Then go, who's stopping you?

Give me 25p.

For getting beaten? Beat him back

and come and I'll give you a rupee.

Alright father, I'll surely take revenge.

You will? Then here's a rupee.

I'll give you a rupee more after

you have taken the revenge.

Okay father.

Vijay, why are you late?

How did you get hurt?

It's the reward for speaking the truth.

- What? Come here. - I am speaking the truth.

Kishore was copying in class. The teacher asked me.

I had to tell him the truth.

So I got beaten after class and hurt myself.

Softly father, it hurts.

One has to pay the price of truth, son.

But this a price too high. I'm in pain.

I hope this pain grows and

your heart bleeds for the world.

May you see your happiness in others happiness.

And share everyone's sorrow.

I understand everything, Mohanlal.

You say something, and do something else.

Good values you have imbibed in your child.

What is the matter, brother Lalchand?

Don't call me brother.

You are just a smooth talker.

Just see what your son has done to my child.

Brother, elders must not

interfere in the fights of children.

They are an image of God.

They will fight today, and make-up tomorrow.

Oh great, Mr. Goody!

Instead of advising your son, you are advising me?

It's the first time, so I am tolerating it.

If this happens again, I'll break his bones!

- Calm down please. - I am a very bad man, get that?

Good neighbours we have. They have made our lives miserable.

- Father, it hurts. - Shut-up, idiot!

You have wasted all my money.

Did I feed you and make you strong,

so that you get beaten by this rat? Come!

You are out of danger now.

I am not afraid of death, Kailash.

Mohan, I am not telling you this

as a doctor, but also as a friend.

You must take care of your health.

This time, you need total bed rest for three weeks.

- Come Vijay. - What happened to daddy, Doctor?

- Nothing son. - Nothing at all, silly.

- I am just a little sick. - Vijay, take care of your daddy.

And come and take medicine from my dispensary.

- Okay. - Mohan, I'll be going.

- How are you feeling now? - Why are you so upset?

I am fine. Oh yes, the sparrows are hungry since morning.

Give them some grains. Go.

- What happened? - Nothing.

Show me your hand.

Who beat you? How did you get these marks?

- They are marks of truth, father. - What are you trying to say?

The inspector was going to visit our

school. I kept a chair ready for him.

Kishore kept a broken chair in its place.

The inspector fell down the moment he sat on it.

Kishore and his friends put the blame on me.

And then, what had to happen, happened.

You get beaten today, son.

But tomorrow, this very truth will bring you peace.

The world will surely bow before you one day.

I have no desire that the world bow before me.

I only need your blessings.

- Father was not telling you, but me. - It's the same thing.

- Father, I'll change and come. - I'd gone to buy vegetables.

I came to know that you have taken ill.

I came running to see you.

In a hurry, I even forgot to collect money.

- How are you feeling now? - My time is nearing.

I am living the few days I am left with.

I'll take your leave.

If your condition worsens, do call for me.

Don't forget, you have my promise.

Father, I'll get milk and medicines for you.

The weather is bad, son. Come back soon.

Don't worry, I'll be back soon.

The shop is locked. Knock the door of his residence.

Yes sir.

I'm coming, son.

Inspector...

Inspector...

Tell me, what brings you here?

Considering your decency and

age, I feel embarrassed to say this.

But I am compelled by law.

Does the law have any

complaints against me, inspector?

Mohanlal, some people have

filed a complaint against you, that...

Tell me what complaints people have against me.

I don't want any kind of leniency.

All are equal in the eyes of law.

Then whether rich or poor, father or son.

We have information that you deal in drugs.

Drugs!! What are you talking, inspector?

Even I don't believe it. But the matter is now in the hands of law.

Truth has nothing to fear, inspector.

You can search my home and shop. Come.

Come.

Constables, search.

Mohanlal, sit down.

- Sir, the drugs are here. - No! That's not possible.

This is not true, inspector.

Someone has done this to defame

me. Believe me, I am innocent, inspector.

I am helpless, Mr. Mohanlal.

The evidence says something else.

I will have to arrest you.

The people who respect me so much...

I will pass through their street as a criminal?

God, this is punishment for what...

Father!

Father!

Don't cry so much, son.

Uncle!

Gather yourself, son. Wipe away your tears.

Every man has to endure sorrow and troubles.

I miss my father, uncle. How will I live without him?

One doesn't have parents forever.

Your crying will hurt his soul.

If you stay happy, concentrate on your

studies, make something of yourself

his soul will rest in peace.

Will my not crying please father?

Yes son, very much.

Very much.

Come Vijay, you will live with me from now on.

I have come to take you.

How can I leave this home, uncle?

Staying here, I feel father is with me.

That's okay, son.

But if you live with me, I will be able to look after you well.

You will come with me, won't you?

If you love your Doctor uncle, you surely will come.

- Tell me, son. - Uncle... my sweet uncle.

Vijay.

Yes Doctor uncle.

You have grown so old, but still behave like a child.

I have grown old? What nonsense!

When I grow old, I will have a long

beard, my eye sight will become weak.

And I will walk with a bent head like

you and say, ' Vijay, get me my glasses'

Naughty! You sure are a smooth talker.

But uncle, in Bsc ( Bachelor of Science

) they teach you to make compounds.

Is that so? Then run and get 5 kgs of sweets.

What have compounds got to do with sweets?

First get the sweets, then I'll tell you.

But what's the great news?

- An engagement. - Whose?

You think I will get engaged at this age?

This is the 20th century uncle, who knows when one falters.

Even 100 year old men nowadays wish to get married.

You don't brighten up an old ruin.

Brightness looks good in new homes.

That is why, I am getting you engaged.

Why are you feeling shy now, Mr.Vijay Kumar, Bsc?

- Vijay Kumar, Bsc? - Yes, Vijay Kumar, Bsc.

Here's your friend's telegram.

Uncle, I have passed!

I am very happy today, Doctor uncle.

The day I had been waiting for since years, has arrived.

I am very grateful to you.

Whatever I have done, I have done it as my duty.
