Maryada (মর্যাদা)

| came as soon as | got your letter, but,...

No ifs and buts. You've got to help me.

Come.

1, a poor man has been blessed with two daughters.

Tell me, how can | bring them up?

That's the reason | called you here.

You take away one of the girls.

And you know that my house has been mortgaged,...

so how can | bring them up on my measly income.

But Manmohan, why the haste?

Delay may increase our attachment to them.

Dharam Dayal, keep this confidential.

Or we won't be able to face anybody.

Rest assured, Manmohan.

Sir, we get shocks from the machine. We can't locate the mistake.

You did a wise thing by calling me.

I'll repair it right away.

Put the switch off. - | did it, sir.

Switch it on.

Why did you call me again?

1 wanted to complain about your new machine.

Why? - Yesterday | touched it by mistake.

And | got a terrific current.

Why are you laughing?

Fool, you must've got a shock not current.

It was a current not a shock.

Okay as you please.

But you won't get it again as I've repaired it today.

Come, I'll help you to get to know my machine.

You gave me a start! Rogue!

"Come now, for the lovely weather has arrived"

"My love, sweetheart..."

"be kind, come to me"

"Without you, my beautiful evenings seem drab and lifeless"

"My love, sweetheart..."

"be kind, come to me"

"There's so much to tell you and listen from you..."

"in just a few days and nights"

"I hope we don't squander away our youth"

"My love, sweetheart..."

"be kind, come to me"

"Modesty is killing me"

“I'm too scared to roam the streets"

"l hope | don't go mad in love"

"My love, sweetheart..."

"be kind, come to me"

"Come now, for the lovely weather has arrived"

"My love, sweetheart..."

"be kind, come to me"

Oh, so he's become a Romeo!

Raja babu, when will you take me home?

Very soon but not like this. - Then how?

111 take you with pomp and show as my bride.

So, introduce me to your family. - I've nobody.

Fed up with father's atrocities mother brought me here 12 years ago.

And since then I've no relation with my father.

Now my queen, you are all that matters to me.

Really? - Yes.

Now I'll go and meet your father for your hand in marriage.

Oh!

Coming, sir.

Mr Pran, you! Greetings! You've come after so long?

Please sit, I'll go and call sir.

There's no need to call him. He's busy in some important work.

Pran Bahadur and here? How come this consideration for me?

You never come to Bombay.

So | decided to check on you myself.

Somehow or the other news about me reaches you.

But | wanted to see myself what I'd heard.

Let me also hear what you saw.

That my cousin is in love.

Shake hands to that.

But will uncle accept it?

He doesn't accept even the father and son's relationship.

You are right. Even | don’t like this rift between you both.

But the family honor has also to be considered.

Are you not enough for that?

Forget about it. This is uncle's problem.

He's resolve it. | came to congratulate you.

Accept it. - Accepted!

Tell me, will you have tea, coffee, syrup or water?

1 don't take any of these things after sun set.

One more sip for the family honor.

This stove will burn my eyes.

Hey you!

Why this guise?

Love makes you do strange things.

And your love has made me adopt your attire.

All this seems like a dream to me.

But you are looking very good in this attire.

What does that mean? - You don't know?

It means nice.

Oh, am | looking good! Then I've made it!

Will you have water? - First give me something to eat.

I'm very hungry. - What can | serve you?

Give me anything. - But what?

Even the lentils are not ready. - You aren't aware but it's ready.

No, it isn't ready. | swear by you.

See it yourself. - Alright, I'll have a radish then.

You didn't offer me food, at least give me salt.

Here. - Sprinkle it with your hands.

Do it yourself. - If you sprinkle it,...

the radish will taste sweet.

Leave my hand. What if it gets twisted?

Twisted? - Sprained.

I'll massage it. - Keep away.

I'm feeling shy. - Why are you shy of me?

Don't get angry, Mr Dayal. | want to marry Laxmi.

This marriage can't take place. - Why?

Am | not worthy of her?

Sir, a marriage is fixed between equals.

We are poor and can't have such lofty dreams.

What are you saying? Love is above all this.

Rich people can have such thoughts not the poor.

You can care a damn for society but we can't.

Our honor is all we have.

But,.. - You can go.

Laxmi, come inside.

Forgive me, I've hurt you terribly.

In fact you had to suffer so much because of me.

No, you've not given me any pain.

How did you come in the storm?

What if someone would have seen you? - I'm not scared of anything.

Nothing means anything to me without you.

1 only want your love and support.

Laxmi, you are my lifeline.

But your father? - Sir, a girl has to leave her father's house.

And our bond dates back to many births.

You are my life.

Laxmi, if you agree then nobody can stop us from marrying.

Nobody can stop us then.

| don't want to marry, mother.

I can't deck myself knowing my father is in debts.

Don't say such things at such an auspicious time.

Did your boss give you the money? - No.

No? - But don't worry, I've arranged for the money.

Father, where did you get so much money from?

| had somehow saved Rs three thousand.

The remaining seven thousand,.. - The remaining seven thousand?

From my locker.

Manmohan, within seconds you broke the trust | entrusted in you.

You robbed? - No, this can't be true.

My father can't steal.

Father, why don't you say that all this is a lie?

Child, this is true.

Forgive me, sir. Let the marriage be solemnized,...

and I'll somehow return your money.

How will you repay such a big amount?

Your house is also mortgaged with me.

Return the money.

Take this, Sir.

Don't come to work from tomorrow.

Take this Rs three thousand.

1 couldn’t arrange for the entire amount.

But | promise to do so at the earliest.

How will you send it? By stealing?

If you can't give me Rs 10,000, I'll take back the marriage procession.

Don't do such a thing.

I'll be doomed and my daughter's life will be ruined.

I plead with you. - | don't want to have a relationship,...

with thieves and go to jail.

It's good we came to know about you before marriage.

Else we too would be labeled as thieves.

Cheat!

Think before you talk.

It doesn't befit you to malign others.

Who are you to accuse me?

If you feel so pity, why don't you get married?

My son can be sold for Rs 10,000.

Who are you, son? - 1 can understand your grief.

I'm not worthy of your daughter.

But if you don't mind, 1 would like to marry her.

Your introduction? - | come from your community.

I'm Jeevanand Sharma, the son of late Devendra Sharma of Benaras.

God bless you. You've saved me.

May you have a long life!

Lama's mother, send Lalita.

The auspicious moment will pass. Priest, start the rituals.

What's the matter, Inspector? - We are sorry to disturb you.

Do you know him?

He is the same one. | wonder where he disappeared?

He's once again given us the slip.

But why are you looking for him? - How will it help you to know?

Did he steal anything? - He took away a lot.

Father!

Child, money is very important.

Prestige and honor are also evaluated with money.

Calm down.

Look after your mother after 1 am gone.

Don't say such things.

Don't ever forget that society shuns the poor.

Father, | will never forget your words.

Never

I'll wipe off the stigma of poverty.

Ms Lalita, you were simply amazing!

The audience went crazy over your performance.

Manager, all this is due to your blessings.

No, this is the result of your hardwork and dedication.

You know what our condition was after father's death.

Had it not been for you, I'd not have earned this name and fame.
