Kismat (किस्मत)

If we knew it'd rain this heavily..

..we could have left tomorrow morning.

How could we?

Tomorrow itself is the festival of Ganesh Chaturthi.

..and morning's the auspicious time for the veneration.

These truck drivers keep their headlights on..

..even during such heavy downpour.

Munna. Munna.

Munna has fallen down. Munna. - Shanti.

Leave me. Let me go. - Don't.

Munna.

Dear Anand, how is Shanti?

Can't say anything, Grandpa. She's very critical.

Where's she? - Ward No.12.

Let's go.

Shanti..

Sister.

Sister.

Shanti, my child, why did this happen to us?

I don't think I'll survive.

No, Sister, please don't say that.

Will you do something for me, Geeta?

Yes, I will. Tell me.

If you refuse, I won't rest in peace.

I promise, I'll agree to whatever you ask me to do.

Tell me.

Take care of my husband and Munna after I'm no more.

Listen, I'm leaving them in your care.

Yes.

Geeta, you marry him.

No, Sister, no.

No, please don't say that.

Listen.. listen I'll raise Munna like my own son.

I'll love him just like you.

But I.. I'll never marry.

But I.. I can't do this.

I can't..

Grandpa.

Grandpa.

Grandpa, I can never do such a thing.

No.

I don't understand where's that child.

Please believe us. We didn't see any child.

But, sir, who were they people who met with the accident?

Police officer, Anand. - I see.

He was on his way to Titwala with his wife and child.

And they met with an accident on their way.

They both have been hospitalised.

But we can't find the child anywhere.

And the child has a golden locket around his neck.

Maybe, someone took the child because of that locket.

People here are not like that.

As soon as we come to know about the child.

You don't worry.

Geeta, what're you thinking about in this darkness?

Grandpa, I.. I can't betray Anand.

To marry someone is not a betrayal, dear.

But hiding my past is a betrayal.

I want to tell Anand everything before we marry.

Don't make that mistake, dear.

No man in this world can bear the fact..

..wife had illicit relationship with some other man.

Who doesn't make mistakes?

But no one announces that mistake out loud.

That's why, dear, forget the past.

And fulfill your promise to your sister.

No, Grandpa, no.

I can't do it. I just can't.

You girls were this small when your parents expired.

Your sister passed away while she was young.

Do you want to live a spinster's life?

I can't see that.

Have mercy on this old man, dear. I implore you, dear.

No, no, Grandpa.

Please don't do that.

Sir. - Yes?

Someone's here to sell this locket.

I think, it was made at our shop.

Who? Who's he? - He's standing right there.

How did you get this locket? - This.. this is my locket.

You're lying. You stole this locket.

No, I didn't steal it, sir.

Then, how did you get this locket?

Tell me the truth, or I'll call the police.

No, no, please don't call the police.

I'll tell you everything.

I found this locket on a child.

Where's that child?

The child was dead when I found him, sir.

Dead?

When did this happen?

It happened some six years back.

It was the day of Ganesh Chaturthi.

I was on my way to my village.

I saw that child at the river banks.

Maybe, it had washed ashore from somewhere.

I saw this locket on that child.

I removed the locket.

I dug up a pit and buried that child there.

It's my daughter's wedding next week, sir.

So I thought, I'll get some money by selling this locket.

Are you telling the truth? - I swear by my daughter, sir.

The one who's about to get married.

All right.

Give money to this man.

'Anand's son is no more in this world.'

'And Geeta can't become a mother again.'

'If I meet with the manager of the orphanage..'

'..where I've left Geeta's illicit child..'

'..and put this locket around his neck..'

'..then Anand will raise that child as his own.'

'That child's life will be saved from being ruined.'

Come, dear, come.

Is this the same locket..

..you'd put around your son's neck?

But..where did you find this?

I'll tell you, Mr. Anand.

I'm the manager of this orphanage.

About six years ago..

..I was returning to Mumbai from my village.

Suddenly, I heard a child crying.

I followed that sound..

..and I saw an injured child.

This locket was around his neck.

I tried my best to look around for his parents.

But in vain.

So I thought of him as an orphan and brought him to my orphanage.

A peon from this orphanage stole this locket..

..and brought it to sell at my shop.

And the whole story was out.

Where's my child? I'll call him.

Sitaram.

Dear, they're your parents.

What's your name, dear? - Ajay.

She's your mother.

Mother.

I think the flight has already arrived.

You wait here, I'll be back in a moment.

Hello, my Son.

Hi, Dad. - Live long. Welcome.

Dad, he's my friend. Mr. Rajan from London.

Hello, Rajan. You live in London?

No, it was just an informal visit. My business is in Mumbai.

I see.

Sir, you want to declare something? - What're you saying, inspector?

You all go ahead. I'll get it cleared.

Come, please come.

Dad, mother didn't come?

She was here a moment ago.

Okay, Mr. Anand, I'll leave now. - Okay.

Okay, Ajay. - Okay, Mr. Rajan, see you sometime.

Your bag. - Oh, thank you.

It's okay. Bye-bye.

Yes, so where's mother?

Mother.

Ajay.

Oh, Mother. Where were you?

I..I was watching you from there.

But why?

Because I'm seeing you after a very long time.

So, I just kept looking at you.

You can look at him as much as you want at home.

Yes, let's go.

Sweet home.

Okay, dear, I'm off to my duty.

What's this, Dad? Please don't go to duty today.

It's been ages since we had fun, celebrated or enjoyed.

We will have all of that..

..but only after I finish my duty.

Take your son inside. Go.

Come, dear. - Bye-bye.

Mother, we've inherited so much from our ancestors.

God knows why Dad's so obsessed with his job.

Ajay, who was the person alongside, at the airport?

Who, that Rajan?

Mother, he's no ordinary man. He's a mint personified.

Day and night, only business and only business!

Money, wealth, profit-loss, his life's bounded by these four words.

Why?

I didn't like that man.

Forget about him, Mother.

There are many men in this world we don't like.

But we need to make sure to survive unblemished..

..among all the filth.

Where are you going?

Mother, I'll get ready and meet my some friends of mine.

I'll return by the time Dad's home.

Okay? - All right.

'But, Rajan, why do you want to kill your own child?'

'Why don't we get married?'

'Geeta, you know I'm going to London today.'

'To attend very important business meetings.'

'We'll get married as soon as I return.'

'But I don't want you to become a mother before marriage..'

'..and disgrace yourself in front of this world.'

'That's why, I'd suggest for an abortion.'

'How's that possible, Rajan?'

'Even if I get an abortion..'

'..I can't become an unmarried woman.'

'What're you saying, Geeta?'
