Amar Prem (अमर प्रेम)

Where are you taking me in a palanquin?

Seated in the wedding palanquin..

..are you taking me to my beloved's house?

Where are you taking me in a palanquin?

Following two days of happiness..

..l've had a thousand days of sorrow.

Where are you taking me in a palanquin?

l had to leave on my death..

l had to leave on my death..

..from my husband's house.

l was forced to leave when alive.

As many as the flowers, there are blisters on my feet..

..having walked on thorns.

Autumn..

Autumn has come..

Autumn has come following the Spring.

Where are you taking me in a palanquin?

l have so many tears..

l have so many tears in my eyes..

..the water in the river seems little.

Oh writer of destinies..

..what destiny have You bestowed upon me?

The oarsman is angry..

The oarsman.. The oarsman is angry..

..the oarsman is angry. What can l do?

Where are you taking me in a palanquin?

Lakhaniya, take Nandu inside.

Good Lord! At such a young age his mother letf him.

God has been very unfair to you, Mahesh.

Who?

Pushpa.

Are you coming from your in-laws house? - Yes.

Tattered state, sulking face.

Something is definitely fishy. - But uncle Nepal, who is she?

Do you know Damodar Dayal who was fond of hymns? - Yes.

She's his daughter.

Mother. Mother.

Pushpa, how come you are here, dear?

Mother!

What happened? Why are you crying? Did you fight and come?

l'll never go back now. l'll live here with you.

Are you mad? Tell me what happened.

l couldn't conceive, hence he got another wife.

What? - Yes, mother. l endured this too.

l was tolerating the atrocities by the two of them day and night..

..and living there.

Yet you shouldn't have letf your house this way, dear.

Your home is where your husband is.

l wanted to die there.

But l was compelled to come here today.

l don't believe you. lt must have been your fault too.

My only fault was that..

..l lived there enduring their kicks and abuses.

Today.

Look. - God!

They hit me with a burning stick.

They pushed me out of the house.

My child!

lf you also don't support me, mother..

..where will l go?

l am myself living at other people's mercy, dear.

How will l feed you?

Don't worry, mother. l will beg.

l'll find a job somehow.

But don't ask me to go there, mother.

Don't ask me to go there. - Don't cry, dear. Don't.

Come in. Come on.

Mahesh, this time you should get married in great pomp.

What are you saying, uncle Nepal?

Had Nandu not been this small..

..l wouldn't remarry. - Of course, l know, but..

Why did Pushpa come out from your house?

l am wrong again. Why did she come here?

To ask for a job.

Job? - Yes.

l know her in-laws very well. They are well-off.

Something is fishy. - Must be. l didn't ask.

Forget them. When is your wedding?

24th of this month.

Good! Quick engagement and a quicker marriage.

Son, don't worry about anything.

l'll arrange for everything. Okay, l'll leave.

Hey, Pushpa.

Come on! Are you feeling shy of me?

As a child, you used to sit on my lap.

Wrong again. You used to play in my arms as a child, remember?

You forgot me? Why did you go to Mahesh to ask for a job?

When Mahesh told me, l felt very bad.

How can you and your mother be in trouble with me around?

l'll give you a job.

You? - Yes.

l have a vast business in Calcutta.

A land, a house.

But no one to look atfer it.

Whenever l go there, l sweep the floor, cook food.

lf you handle this, it'll be beneficial to both of us.

But.. Uncle Nepal.. l..

l'm saying it for your own good.

Otherwise is there any dearth of servants..

..in a city like Calcutta?

No!

How can l leave my old mother and go?

Yes, that's your problem. l'm in no hurry.

Think about it and tell me. But yourjob is fixed at my place.

Okay. l'll think and tell you.

You! What is it?

Sister Mandira, will you lend me some grains?

Lend? Why don't you say you've come to beg?

Think of it as that.

lt's not for me, l can stay hungry, but mother..

Get lost!

Having letf your husband..

..aren't you ashamed of begging on the streets?

lt is a sin to even look at you. Go!

Pushpa. You had been to my place, hadn't you?

Did sister-in-law humiliate you and get you to leave?

No. How can someone that has no standing be humiliated?

Don't say that, Pushpa. Here, keep this money.

But.. - Keep it.

Keep it.

Your timely help.. - Forget that, Pushpa.

One has to help another.

l helped you, and you.. - Meaning?

lt is deserted across the lake at dusk.

Aren't you ashamed? You are like my elder brother.

By helping me, do you want to dishonor me?

Appalling!

You saw it with your own eyes?

Yes, mother! Uncle held that lady's hand and gave her money.

ls it?

Come with me.

But what happened? At least tell me.

Your girl trapped my brother-in-law and took money.

He saw it with his own eyes. Ask him.

Tell me, did you see or not? - Yes, l did.

Couldn't you satiate your hunger by begging that..

..you called your daughter to woo others?

Lowly woman! - Shut up!

Quiet, sister-in-law. We are not lowly.

Your brother-in-law is.

Shut up! You wanton, shameless, characterless girl!

Tell me, how much money did you take from her brother-in-law?

And why? - Mother!

Don't dare call me mother.

Why didn't l die before hearing all this because of you?

Mother! Mother, listen to me.

Get out of my sight.

You are a harlot! That's why your husband threw you out.

Go! Go and drown yourself!

Come on.

My brother-in-law is lowly? My foot!

Hey Pushpa! Hey Pushpa!

What is this?

Are you going to commit suicide? Very bad.

Get up! Am l dead?

With me around, if you are in trouble, then it's a shame.

Come, let's go to Calcutta. Come.

l told you girls to watch a lot of films.

Nowadays people prefer film songs to classical songs.

But all of you have become lazy.

Aunt, greetings. - Greetings.

Mr. Nepal, atfer a long time? Please come in.

Aunt, l had been to my village. Pushpa, come in.

Come.

Who is she? - Pushpa.

A girl from my village. She's very unfortunate, poor thing.

Very sad! Come, my dear.

Go.

Don't get scared. Aunt has opened this 'ashram' (Home)..

..for destitute women like you.

Yes, dear. This is my musical institute.

Girls learn dance and music here. Can you sing?

Aunt, she is a nightingale.

Her father was a great singer.

ls it? - Yes.

He taught her to sing.

Let the teacher come. Only he can judge her voice.

Aunt, when do l come? - Atfer one week.

Okay, Pushpa. l'll go. - Will.. l stay here, uncle Nepal?

Yes! What else?

lf you consider aunt as your mother and keep her happy..

..all your sorrows will be over. Right, aunt?

Yes. - Don't worry. l'll keep coming.

Aunt, take her. - Come, dear.

Consider this your house. Come.

Come, sir. You have come atfer a long time, sir?

There goes the heartless man leaving e heartbroken.

There goes the heartless man leaving e heartbroken.

There goes the heartless man leaving e heartbroken.

There goes the heartless man..

Sir.

Should l take you to the jewel of this lane?

To Munnibai? Come on.

Get lost! Don't you see he is educated?

Trap someone else for Munnibai.

Sir, come here. You must've heard about Sushma.

Come on. - Don't touch me.

What a dirty place you have brought me to?

Sir, when a passenger tells me at this hour..

..to take him anywhere, l get him here.
