Saathiya (साथिया)

Hey, what are you watching? Is this a Ramlila?

Come on, move!

- Hey, stop. Where are you going? - Sir, I need to go to the station.

Do I have to spell it out for you? Can't you hear?

- Sorry, sir. Sorry... - You can't go this way.

- There's been an accident. - Oh, okay.

Take a U-turn and go back. Go...

- Okay, sir. - Ambulance, get moving.

TODAY, 6:30 P.M., MARINE LINES STATION.

- Hi! - Hi, Adi!

What are you doing here? Waiting for Suhani?

Like always.

If you'd married me, you wouldn't have to go through all this.

If she doesn't show up in the next ten minutes,

we'll run away to a temple and get married. Okay?

How cheap! Let's go.

Think about it.

- Hello, Dr. Lakshmi? - Hi, Adi.

- Is Suhani there? - She left a while ago.

Okay, wait.

- Did she say where she was going? - No.

She left without saying anything. Adi, how are you?

Are you sure she's not somewhere in the hospital?

No. The in-charge confirmed it.

- Okay, I'll hang up. Thanks. - Adi...

TWO YEARS AGO IN NANGAON

It overflowed... the water from The pitcher overflowed

It overflowed for the eye could not hold

Mother said, don't go Brother, I didn't listen to him

Father said, just one day more And it overflowed

Gudda said don't go Guddi too said the same

Friend said, just one day more And it overflowed...

The water from the pitcher overflowed

It overflowed, for the eyes couldn't hold

There goes one more. Another one bites the dust.

He used to be quite a happy guy.

Now he's gone and stuck his head in a noose.

- Why? What's wrong with our girl? - Your girl?

So big? How old are you?

It's the magic of LUX beauty soap! What else?

- Are you done speaking? - Yes.

What was it you were saying about putting his head in a noose?

When it comes to wearing the garland...

Why'd you all stick your heads out like tortoises?

It's just that this tortoise did not know that you live in this village.

I am very pleased to meet you. What's your name?

Ruin.

- What's the matter Adi? - I thought marriage was ruin.

Ok. So what if it's not you.

There are other men who will willingly die for me.

Hey, you mirchi (chili)

Here's a bitter gourd. Eat it. You and your disciples.

Adi, what's she saying and going away?

Don't put your lips to it. She's quite bitter.

As she walked She said your house was small

I left my songs behind Under the wings of a bird

By the way, who is this girl who just gave this shagun?

- Why? Do you also want the shagun? - No... no.

She talks a lot. Quite a wily girl.

Listen Mister, she's my daughter.

Daughter!

No, I meant she is very gifted.

Faux paus... I'm dead meat.

By the way... what is her name?

Boy, if you weren't a guest I would have made mincemeat out of you.

Get lost... mannerless.

And the water from the pitcher overflowed

It overflowed, for the eyes couldn't hold

Mother said don't go Brother said I didn't listen

Father said just one day more And the water overflowed

The crow said don't go So did the saint...

The crow said, just one day more And it overflowed

Oh Ruin, I was looking for you.

- Even my father is looking for you. - Oh God... Escape!

You have a great smile.

I had heard that village girls are very simple and innocent. Shy!

Excuse me auntie! Here, she is both simple and shy.

- Great son! - Greetings.

Father... I left your courtyard

Your courtyard... I left it behind

When I come home next time Bring a diamond ring

My friends will play with it

On their laps

A bouncing bonny baby

When the monsoons come this time

Another kind of separation Will have its say...

Separation from my beloved

RAILWAY COLONY, MUMBAI.

Close the book and open your mouth and eat.

This way nothing will go in either your mouth or your brain.

Oh mom, if I fail, you'll haul me over burning coals.

No. I'll eat you raw.

The things your father has to endure for your studies.

- Please quit fighting. - What else should I do?

Now, why are you not eating?

The paratha is so oily and the yogurt is so sour.

Then, how come Dina ate it?

Oh God! Dina! Dina! Dina!

She's the only one you like. The rest are all second rate.

Now, will you two stop it?

Mom, she has an exam today.

What should I do with this girl?

Hey, where're you going?

You carry your anger on the tip of your tongue.

Once you become a doctor, your patients will die without a hiccup.

If something happens to me, don't ever take me to her.

This girl is a real burden.

So why don't you give me away to him?

To whom?

He who believes that a girl is a burden.

Do your exam well.

Dad! Good I met you. Now my paper will go off well.

Your blessings are very important for doing well.

Go via the temple. Here, keep some money.

Dad, she sends others to the temple for her.

You are so pretty. One kiss on this cheek.

Your beard is hurting.

My beard hurts... let it.

Some things also hurt me... Hurt me a lot.

- Hi uncle. - Hi Pinks.

And rub yourself clean.

The smoke must have clogged your pores.

Do you know what your son did yesterday?

Why, is he not your son?

I saw him on a motorcycle... with a long haired woman.

Both of them were in flames.

Even smoke was coming out of their mouths.

Dad! Why are you beating about the bush? Get to the point.

Mom, Dad saw me smoking a cigarette yesterday.

Cigarette! They were smoking a cigar.

A Peace pipe. He would take a drag and pass it to her...

She would take a drag and pass it back.

What a good for nothing. Son, I've.

- Who was she? - Like a brother.

Adding glitter to the Gold.

She is just like a boy.

She must have been Meera, mom.

Even you scolded her for talking like boys.

And if I smoked one cigarette, what great sin have I committed?

You have done a great deed.

It overflowed... the water from The pitcher overflowed.

It overflowed for the eye couldn't hold.

You don't know anything about her...

And you want us to find one girl in a population of 12 million.

- What's the population of Bombay? - 12 million.

- How many of them will be women? - 50%

6 million approximately.

Out of these 6 million, how many would be college going?

- Hardly 10% - No no, less than that.

Let's assume 10%

- So how many is that? - 600,000.

Out of these 600,000, how many would be medical students?

So, she is a doctor. Lets say 1%

How many? How many?

- 600, no no no. 6000. - Your maths is very weak.

Out of this 6000, how many would travel in a local train?

Only in the city of Bombay?

Most would travel by car.

Leaving out buses, taxis and autos, at least 1% will use local trains.

- So, how many does that leave us with? - Barely 60.

So, out of 60 medical students.

Is it so difficult... to search for 1 medical student?

Come quickly.

Life is a pleasant journey

She is looking at you.

What happens tomorrow no one knows...

Sing and dance through your life...

Don't bother what the world has to say

Don't bother. Correct.

I think you are in love.

There is no such perversity in my mind.

What do you mean?

I mean I have not lost my bearings.

All that is for the unoccupied.

Mister, this is not love. This is lust.

It's also called desire or hunger.

Now repeat what I said.

Shut up Mr. Psychic.

Look son,

after seeing this girl's body once... you've lost your balance.

After seeing her gait... you've forgotten where you are going,

Do you call this love?

So what do we call it?

As a famous poet once said:

What we call love is nothing but a perversity of the mind

What do you mean perversity?

In medical terms...

It means that your hormones are working overtime.

Shut up.

In Hindi, that means keep your nonsense to yourself.

- Your face is saying it all. - What?

That I've lost my bearing?!

It looks like there is a fire in you.

Shut up.

This life is a pleasant journey...

Shut up Dina, let me sleep.

He's not here. Get off the train.

Why don't you look on top. Maybe he's dancing on the roof.

Very funny!

By the time you see him, the train would have started.
