Shamu!

Shamu!

Coming, ma'am! Coming!

'Coming, coming.'

I've been calling out 'Shamu' all day long.

Can't you hear?

You've lost your head just because you're getting married.

Can't you see?

I was changing, mother.

Change your clothes?

It is so bright and there's so much to be done.

When will you arrive at your in-laws? At midnight.

The cart isn't even ready yet. The cattle haven't been fed.

Even the cushion hasn't been laid out in the cart.

Who will do it if not you?

Do we have servants on call?

What are you still waiting for?

Get moving or I'll smack you in front of the guests.

Mr. Raghunath, let's see whose cattle win at your in-laws.

Who won at Shankar's wedding?

Never mind that. My Dulari was unwell that time.

A bad worker blames his tools.

Hey!

I came in first.

How could you be first? We won. I say so.

Who cares what you say? Everyone saw who won.

Tell us Bhola, whose cattle came first?

Why are the two of you fighting?

Both of them will be fed. Happy?

He isn't going to feed them. He's stingy.

Where is my Shamu's cart. Take a look.

Feed them. Feed them.

He won't feed them. He's come here to get married.

He is extremely miserly.

Wedding chants

Why do you tarry, guests?

You are going to your darling's town

The path is treacherous

Lest we be late

Why do you tarry?

Why do you tarry, guests?

Why?

They showed great courage getting her married.

Why wouldn't they? They have only one daughter.

They gave her plenty of jewelry as well.

Bracelets, bangles, armlets, anklets, etcetera.

I don't care about that stuff.

I could never pay it all back.

I liked the girl.

It would be acceptable to me...

even if they didn't give her anything.

But aunty, even you showed generosity.

What do you mean? Wouldn't she get her son married?

Of course she'd get him married...

but to do so during such times is a big deal.

And she mortgaged her land.

Oh really? Who told you that?

To whom did I mortgage the land?

How would I know, aunt?

The villagers are saying you mortgaged the land...

to Sukhi Lala.

'Sukhi Lala!' Let him say it to my face.

I'll break all his teeth.

As though aunt Sundar has nothing.

She was begging.

'Mortgaged the land. Mortgaged the land.'

Yes, it is true.

I mortgaged and repossessed the land several times.

Lord knows whether I will be able to repossess it now?

If it is in my fate, I'll get it back.

If not, then I won't be able to get it back.

God...

please uphold my honor.

Hope has appeared in my life

Cool winds blowing and flowers abloom

I am the garland around my darling's neck

It is the spring of my life

Listen to me, bird. The cuckoo calls

Listen to me, bird. The gardens are abuzz

These are the tales of leaves

Garlands here are made from flower gems

Listen to me, bird. The cuckoo calls

Water has been showered onto my fields

My eyes are wounded and my heart is stabbed

Your beloved is working for you

My eyes are wounded and my heart is stabbed

Listen to me, bird. The cuckoo calls

I won't say it but my darling is unique

My darling is unique. My lord is unique

I won't say it but my darling is unique

Don't go to the fields in the afternoon, my darling

If it is sunny my darling will feel thirsty

I won't say it but my darling is unique

My darling is unique. My lord is unique

I won't say it but my darling is unique

Walk slowly or the water might spill out of your pot.

Careful you don't sprain your slim waist.

You are jesting today. What's the reason?

It's not my time to jest. This is your time to do that.

The more you work and the more you move about...

the better it is for you.

Of course. I know how knowledgeable you are.

Only you know these things, others know nothing.

Let's go.

Hey Shamu, is your lunch here?

No, it must be on the way.

Bansi, God should bestow every man with a wife like yours.

She's so pretty and so capable.

And in the very first year...

- Do you have good news? - Yes.

Bravo, tiger! Bravo!

It's simple logic.

The more fertile the land, the faster the tree will grow.

Yes, that's right.

But Shamu, our land is so barren.

It's been five years but no hope yet.

You're talking like a failure.

You should never despair.

It had better be a boy.

That's not in our hands.

I don't want any excuses.

If it's a girl I'll strangle someone.

Me or the baby?

The girl?

Oh lord! That would be murder.

Whatever.

And what will you do if it's a boy?

You'll make a nose ring?

Yes.

It'll be a boy. I know it.

How?

The moment I stepped out of the house this morning...

I was confronted by a man. It'll be a boy.

Is that so?

Radha still has six months to go.

There would be.

- But you should be ashamed of yourself. - Why?

- It's been five years since we got married and... - Okay, okay, let it be.

We've had nothing.

How is it my fault? It's god's wish.

Sure, call it god's wish or that you had two dozen sons...

in your last life, that's why god didn't give you...

even one in this life.

You shouldn't get so upset.

There's a mango tree in my courtyard

A mango tree. Yes, yes, a lemon tree

In my courtyard

There's a mango tree in my courtyard

Come, my darling

Don't dance during the day. Sing, my darling

Swing on this

In my courtyard

There's a mango tree in my courtyard

Poor me has to wander from pillar to post

Why do I need?

In my courtyard

There's a mango tree in my courtyard

My life was very content

Alone for months

In my courtyard

There's a mango tree in my courtyard

The darkness is gone, giving way to light

I was alone.

I ran into my sweetheart

In my courtyard

There's a mango tree in my courtyard

A mango tree. Yes, yes, a lemon tree

In my courtyard

There's a mango tree in my courtyard

Uncle Shamu! Uncle Shamu!

The baby is born. It was crying.

What is it? A boy or a girl?

I don't know.

You didn't ask me to find out whether it was a boy or a girl.

Go find out whether it's a boy or a girl.

- I'll go right away. - Listen!

- Yes? - Don't say I want to know.

My baby's hair is curly

Long live the mother. Long live the father

May the newborn's entire family live long

Aunt Sundar. Aunt Sundar. Is it a boy or a girl?

Have you lost your mind?

Uncle Shamu wants to know.

Oh lord! These modern times!

Boys these days have no shame whatsoever.

He wants to know whether it's a boy or a girl.

Go tell him it's a boy.

Your sister-in-law Kamla says it's a boy.

She's summoned you to see him.

And tell him he has a big moustache.

My baby's hair is curly

What happened? Tell me what happened.

- Curly hair! - Are you going to tell me or not?

It's a boy! A boy!

- A boy! - Yes!

Chandu! Mohan! Chuni! Come here, come here.

And uncle Shamu, aunt Kamla said he has a big moustache.

My baby's hair is curly
