Anokha Bandhan

O god, with your grace,

I've seen all the joys of this world.

I've got sons like lord Ram and Shyam

and a daughter-in-law like goddess Annapurna.

I have only one desire now.

Before dying, I want to see a pretty grandchild.

Mother, you've come here again.

I've told you many times not to leave your bed in this condition.

What is there in it dear?

My death is near.

May your enemies die! Come and rest.

Anu, one doesn't get so much love even from one's kin.

You consider your mother-in-law your own mother

and your brother-in-law your son.

Even though Ram is your step brother-law.

What mother?

You never considered my husband your step-son.

So how can I consider Ram my step brother-in-law?

But I'll behave like a step daughter-in-law now.

Get up from here quietly.

Else, I'll be really angry.

Yes, I'll come. - Come.

I'm going.

Listen. - Yes?

Come home early in the evening.

What is the use? You don't come running to me when I return.

I only have to sit and wait for you.

You'll have to wait a lot now. - Why?

You'll never turn sensible!

What is there to be sensible in this?

Ok, it's not about sensibility, but tamarind.

Get raw tamarind for me when you return in the evening. - Fine.

Tamarind? So that's the matter!

Ok, tell me. If it's a boy, what name will you give him?

I've already thought of his name.

Gopal.

Madam! - What happened Kali?

Madam is very sick! - Let's go!

Mom!

What happened mother?

You sit with mom, I'll bring the doctor.

Listen son! He's naive, and doesn't understand.

Doctors can't do anything now.

I'm on the brink of death.

Please don't say that mother.

I'm only worried about what will happen to Ram.

What are you saying, mother? Am I not there?

But you're pregnant. - So what?

Don't misunderstand me,

when you have your own child...

You know very well that I've always loved Ram as my own son.

I'll never differentiate between anyone.

This is all idealistic talk.

When a person gets entangled in worldly matters,

he forgets everything.

Don't you believe me mother?

I promise you. Ram will always remain my first son.

Child... - Yes mother?

I promise you.

Bless you, my child. - Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Ram!

Ram!

Come here son.

No, I want to sleep here.

You sleep on this side.

No, this is my place. I'll sleep here.

Ok, come and sleep at your place.

Come and sleep at your place.

Anu, he behaves stubbornly, and you fulfil all his wishes.

If this continues, how will you manage both of them?

Both right and left eyes hold equal importance.

And Ram is right.

This place was always his.

Both of them have settled down in their own places.

But what about mine?

You sit on that chair and chant Lord Ram's name the entire night.

"O Lord Ram, you've given us a boon of love."

"We'll never forget your favour on us, O lord."

"Whether you bestow joy or sorrow on us."

"We'll continue to chant your name."

"Hail lord Ram."

"Hail lord Ram."

"Whenever anyone has approached your doorstep,"

"Whenever anyone has approached your doorstep,"

"he has always got what he asked for with a pure heart."

"Whether you bestow joy or sorrow on us"

"We'll continue to chant your name."

"Hail lord Ram."

"Hail lord Ram."

"No matter how hard life is"

"No matter how hard life is"

"You're the only saviour in this flow of life and death."

"Whether you bestow us joy or sorrow on us."

"We'll continue to chant your name."

"Hail lord Ram."

"Hail lord Ram."

"Hail lord Ram."

Ram, have this holy offering.

Gopal, you have this.

Sister-in-law, what about Heera's share?

You won't forget Heera. Take this.

Come Gopal. Let's feed it to Heera.

Heera, have this holy offering.

Won't eat it? So you won't eat without taking a bath.

Gopal, go and bring water. We'll bathe Heera.

Right away uncle Ram.

Uncle Ram, this doesn't even move!

How will it move? It's even heavier than you.

And your Heera won't drink so much water.

Fool! It's not for drinking, but for bathing him.

Let me carry it then. - Ok.

Let's go. Come on!

Now give your Heera a bath.

You go Kali.

Why? Let me watch.

Women shouldn't watch when men take a bath.

Yes. Does Heera watch when you take a bath?

Ok, I won't watch. I'm going.

Anu!

What is it? - Where are you?

God! Who all should I handle?

A single woman and 3 kids! - Is a third one coming?

No. god save me!

It's Ram, Gopal and you.

Do you think I'm a kid?

You're worse than Ram and Gopal.

What do you want?

Will I go to the mansion wearing this shirt?

I had put this shirt for washing. Why did you wear it?

There's a clean shirt for you on the bed. - It's not there.

Hence I say, wear spectacles.

You can't see the shirt today and won't see me tomorrow.

I don't need spectacles to see you.

What are you looking at?

You and this house of yours.

Anu, before you came, this house was a memento of my ancestors.

You turned it into a home and your world.

I'm thinking how lucky I am. - You're right.

Hence you've got a brother like Ram and a son like Gopal.

And a goddess like you.

You're flattering me so early in the morning.

What's your intention? - That thing.

I see! So the shirt was just an excuse?

No, it was my actual intention, but turned into an excuse.

Go and see. The shirt isn't there.

Where did go?

Wow!

It looks like the tailor has stitched it to fit Heera! - Yes!

But uncle Ram, why didn't you put a loin cloth too on Heera?

Heera is still small for a loin cloth.

Ram, what is this?

You've put the shirt on Heera and I was searching for it there!

Don't remove it sister-in-law.

We are taking him to school. - School?

Yes. How can we take him naked to school?

The teacher will throw him out.

Yes. Come Heera.

Stop. We've arrived at school.

Look Heera, this is our school.

You've brought Heera to school?

Yes! He just sits at home and eats grass.

Here, he'll learn something and become a man.

But what about daddy? - The teacher is your dad.

But at school, he's everyone's teacher.

He'll teach Heera too like the rest of us.

Yes. We'll pay his fees too.

We won't educate him for free.

Let's go in. - Yes. Father must be on his way.

Come.

Forgive me sir. Because of us, you got late for school.

Oh god! May you rot in hell!

You fool!

You hit a man instead of the horse!

Wear glasses!

Sir, come. Please alight.

What are you doing Kalyan?

We've arrived at the school, but the bell hasn't rung as yet.

Laxmikant, the bell doesn't ring until junior sir arrives.

Pyarelal, ring the bell.

Naughty boys!

Why are you all standing? Sit!

Sir, you sit too. - Yes.

Wait! - What happened?

Look behind.

Sir, why do you jest?

How can a person see his back?

One's eyes are in front. - But the board is behind you.

Yes, the board is behind me.

Who did this?

Who is he? Don't you all know English?

Who did this?

Whoever did it, stand on the desk!

Stand up!

They've all stood up!

Why did he stand on the desk? It'll break

and I'll lose my job! Sit down,

All of you sit down.

Useless fellows! Open your books!
