Baarish

Just as dirt is washed away when it rains

and with the new light a new hope awakens.

In the same way, before honesty and truth,

the game of crime and deceit meets an end.

Oh my God! This rain has become a nuisance.

But what I am thinking is that, this has never happened before.

What will become of Gopal now? - Gopal is no fool.

He will manage to trick the cops and escape for sure.

Hello! 234...234... I am 123 calling... 123...

Yes, go on! What will become of the remaining goods?

Try sending it as soon as possible. Yes... Yes...

"What do I do? These sufferings never seems to end..."

Hey Kalva! Stop talking and repair the puncture, will you?

Got to send the lorry at 3 o'clock.

I am busy making it, brother.

But brother Lachchu, can I ask you something?

How much you smoke and yet you keep on bloating up like a tyre.

What's the secret? - What's it to you?

I am the one smoking and you are having a problem!

Stop laughing! Fix the puncture!

God has really created you in his overtime.

Put on the headlights. The Boss is coming.

Is the Boss really coming? Hello Boss!

How are you Kamli? - I am fine.

Is everything okay? - Okay.

Hello Boss! - Hello Lachchu, how are you?

I am fine, sir. - How's the work going on?

Great! - I will make a move then, boss.

Wait. I too will come with you. All right.

Well Lachchu, what happened? Oh yes, you will get it.

Good! Now, go back to work.

I too am a family man, Master! How can I just accept Rs.3?

How will I run my house?

What can I do? Do I owe you?

Great! Give full service and be paid just half the pay!

What kind of a law is this? - Here, you go by my law.

Those who want to work can work else, they are free to leave.

Now, that's oppression. - You will know what oppression is.

You can quit the work and you can all walk out.

How will we survive if we quit the work?

Better go hungry than work for such a boss.

Of course you will say that. Why should you care?

Slog like us and then you will know, my friend.

Who me and work with you?

Disgusting. - You find that disgusting!

But the money you are enjoying,...

.... just like us, brother Gopal earns that very money over here.

Dare if you even mentioned the name of brother Gopal.

How dare you hit me? - Shankar! Why the fight?

He himself doesn't work and moves about instigating everyone.

Look how he's hurt when I told him the truth.

What did you say? - Get lost!

That's great!

First you don't let us work and then, you come and bully us!

Brother! How come you are back so late in the night?

Haven't you gone to bed yet? Did you have your dinner?

How could I have without you? - All right. Go and get the food.

Rightaway. - Let's have dinner together.

First of all, you have come back after 5 days

.... and when you are back, you are in quite a hurry.

What kind of a work is that?

Everyone works but, your job is quite strange.

Well, did you feed your pigeons? - Atleast answer my question.

Why are you ignoring it?

Ramu, fortunates are those who has a brother like you.

You are just like a baby; so innocent.

No ill-will or malice in your heart.

Wish I could have educated you and made you into a fine young man.

But, all this is possible only by destiny.

Anyway! No need for you to worry.

Till the time I am alive, I will take care of everything.

All I want is that,

.... not even the shadows of pain and crime ever touches you.

Gopal! - Who is it?

I'll see.

What is it?

Tell Gopal that the Boss has called him immediately; pronto.

Brother is having his dinner.

For the boss's job, what's dinner?

One even has to leave the death bed.

Just a minute, Banke. I have finished my dinner. I will be right over.

What's so important that you are leaving your food and going?

Hey! Who are you to speak bad about the Boss?

Speak rough with me and I will have your head. You fool!

What nonsense are you saying? - Shall I show you what I said?

What's wrong with you? Son, they are my friend.

They pretend to be friends but act as foes.

It would be best. - What would be best?

You should have come here first before going home.

But you didn't come.

You just left the goods worth thousands and ran off

.... in fear of the cops! Why? Answer me!

Boss, my life was in danger. - And today it's not!

You know that none of my work is without some danger involved.

You are therefore paid before time and get a share in the profit.

What? Doesn't life hold any value before the pay and the profit?

Why not? Just 10 or 20 rupees.

Is our life so cheap and all because,

.... we are ready to die for you at your signal!

You always make us do illegal jobs just because,

.... we are illiterates, uneducated and feeble-minded!

You just give us bread to suffice our hunger

We let you take advantage of our helplessness.

Gopal, I am not used to listening to big talks from a small man like you.

Why are you forgetting that it is little people like us

.... who has made you big. And he who can make can even break.

Okay! But, you said it all wrong.

I am not upset with you because of the loss.

I had only called you here to explain to you that,

.... be careful in the future. - Boss, I...

It's been so long since you have been working with me.

And you still haven't recognized me.

I consider everyone who works for me as a brother; a friend.

I know it, boss. But today...

You were just too agitated. Gopal, it happens at times.

Never mind that. Here, have this money.

Money! I don't need any.

If not you then your brother might need it.

Gopal, it's really difficult to find a brother like you.

Now, keep this. - Thank you, boss.

Gopal is gone. - Yes Boss.

Mohan, come with me!

Tell me where brother Gopal is?

Brother Gopal must be on his way. Why worry yourself so much for him?

Man, I am not only your brother but of the neighbourhood too.

Why should you worry when I am there? Now, come inside.

Brother, tell me who stabbed you.

I can't take his name. - Brother...

He is a very influential man. - No brother... I beg of you.

You will have to tell me.

Wow!

Very good!

Where is the boss?

Ramu! What nonsense is this? Have you been drinking?

Where is the boss?

What's going on, Ramu? - Who killed my brother?

Brother! Who brother? - My brother Gopal.

He has been murdered. - Murdered! You all can leave.

I heard that, Gopal met with a train accident.

At the time of his death, brother had told me

.... his murderer is a very rich man.

Did he give you his name?

Wouldn't I have strangled him if only I knew it?

Come on Ramu. You are a very understanding man.

I too am sorry about Gopal's death.

You are sorry!

If you really were sorry, would you be having a party over here?

What not you made brother Gopal do for you.

What not he did for you. And, what did he get in the end?

Death. You rich people only now how to buy up everything.

You have no respect for Man or value for humanity.

.... before brother's blood dried up in the dust, you would have...

Ramu, I will definitely avenge his death.

I don't consider the people who work with me as my employees

.... but as a friend. Come on Ramu, be tough.

Consider me in Gopal's place, get it!

Here, take this Rs. 2000. - I don't want it.

I don't want the money that's soaked in my brother's blood.

Right now you are angry. Console yourself.

I am ready to do everything for you.

Nobody does anything for anybody in this world.

Now, I will do whatever has to be done. And hear me out.

I will avenge the death of my brother and that's for sure.

Mohan, come quickly.

Is Ramu your friend?

Yes, he is my best friend; very precious to me.

Tell him not to interfere in my matter.

Else, he will be dealt with the same way Gopal was.

You shouldn't be doing this, Boss.

Like brother Gopal and us, he is not one of your employees.

He is a very simple and straight guy.

You shouldn't be thinking like that about him.

Listen. Take this money with you.

You know it too well know that he will never accept your money.

I will talk to him.

Ramu... Hey Ramu! - Is it Mohan?

Why are you standing here so doleful at night?

Here, have a fag. - No thanks.

Let's do the same old thing; let's share it.

All right. Let me have it.

Why did you go to the Boss's place today?

You shouldn't go there. It's a very bad place.

I will go wherever I can find anything about my brother's murder.

All that is okay but, what I meant was that,

.... a man can pick up bad habits in bad places. See me for instance.

My parents had sent me in the city in the hope that I would study.

But, I fell into the bad company and now look what I have become.

Those poor folks might think that I am into some good business

.... but what do they know that...

You won't understand it at all.

Forget it. Got a letter from father. Just read it for me.

But, where do I know how to read and write?

That's what I keep forgetting every time.

Well, never mind. My father's not keeping too well.

And above all that, the creditors have become a nuisance.

He's asked for Rs. 500

.... and has asked me to come for the last time to see him.

Why don't you go then?

I can go in a jiffy if only I can help it.

But, I have got important things to take care of here.
