Sherni (शेरनी)

- Out! - Sanu is out!

Good, you bowled him out, sister.

He is bigger than us, and hence he bullies us.

I will puncture his pride in no time.

See my Patiala style strokes now.

- Which strokes? - Patiala strokes!

Come let's play. Keep it down.

Get away.

Uncle, keep it down. We have to continue the game.

- Durga, be ashamed! - Why should I be ashamed?

Have I stolen a guava from an orchard...

...or a sugarcane from a field?

You are taller now than a sugarcane.

First look at yourself, and then these kids.

You have become a mare, and yet you play with children.

You know my mother!

She has pulled me like dough and made me tall.

Otherwise I am still small, just like a lamb.

- Like what? - Like a lamb.

Look uncle, if you ever again abuse our elder sister...

...there won't be anybody worse than us.

Nonsense! You are the size of a peanut, and you talk like big!

Leave it uncle. Let us play.

- You will not correct yourself! - Come let us play.

Durga, Thakur's men are beating up my father and brother.

Don't beat up my son.

I assure you from today he will not do it.

I beg of you.

Father, don't plead in front of these dogs.

You have just returned from the city having learnt a few things.

Now you want to teach law to our Thakur!

One day your Thakur will have to answer for all the atrocities he is committing.

I'll give you the answer!

You wretched dogs!

Now you have started raising your hand against decent people.

I will break your hands.

- Look, Durga! I will show you. - Hell with you!

What will you show me?

I will show you.

Brother Kundan, you know it.

In this village, goons like Dharam rule the roost.

Raising your voice against him is like inviting your own death.

But sister, some one will have to raise the voice if one has to bring freedom.

You should raise the cry for freedom where normal people live.

This is a village of the dead!

And by crying for freedom in front of dead people, you cannot bring in freedom.

Come on. Let's go home. Let's go.

Come son!

Great, Thakur Dharam has kept such tigers as pets.

Four of you could not tackle a girl and instead got beaten.

If I have such loyalists, who needs traitors.

You alone are adequate for my destruction.

Where are the others?

I ask you, where are the others?

- They are outside sir. - Are they ashamed to come inside?

What have you come here for?

Get out from here!

Sir, if it has your approval, should we kidnap Durga?

We will see to that later.

Presently it is necessary to sort out Kundan.

Who are you planning to sort out?

What to tell, Inspector.

I, Mr. Dharam Pal..

..who has upheld law in this village of the dead..

..now has he to live with my head lowered?

- But who has dared to go against you? - That same, Hariya's son.

- Whats his name? - Kundan.

Yes, Kundan.

He has just returned from the city after finishing his studies.

What has he done?

He has tried to raise his voice against our family.

He has forgotten, that this village, its water, its weather...

...has been the boon given by our ancestors.

Since ages it has been going on, they work for us.

In return we give love.

What is the need to give salary for work.

They stay free on our land.

In place of rent, they work for us.

Today that bastard has raised his voice against us.

He has started misleading others.

Sir, if you order, I will have him arrested under Section 302.

To progress the case is my problem.

I assure you he'll be removed from your path forever.

I am of the opinion that he has learnt his lesson today.

It is a question of a few days.

When the holidays are over he will go away.

I feel if we don't pursue this incident any further, it will be better.

Accountant, what about our men? They were thrashed!

Who has beaten your men?

- Banjara's daughter, Durga! - Durga!

She has perhaps forgotten the consequences her father will have to face.

She has forgotten that he is in jail because of us.

Anyway, how many days are left for Banjara's sentence to end?

Two months!

But you do not worry.

As soon as he is out I will make out another case against him.

I will put him inside once again!

- Father! You! - Yes.

Look mother, father has come. Guddi, Munnu!

Father!

My children, my eyes were impatient to see you!

But there was some more days for your sentence to end?

I have run away from Jail.

Ran away? But why?

There were only two months for the sentence to end!

Suppose they catch you once again?

Now nobody can catch me.

I have come to fetch you. Come.

- But where? - Where I will stay.

I have decided that I will not allow Dharampal to live in peace.

It is possible that Dharampal's men and the police will trouble you in my absence.

You will all stay with me. Come.

Father.

Mother and me can stay anywhere.

But have you thought of these two small kids?

Where will they roam?

In jungles, in mountains?

No, father, no.

Only two months of the sentence are left. Why not complete them?

No.

I was quite happy undergoing this punishment..

..till I came to that I was put in jail with the connivance of Dharampal.

Ghanto told me that Dharampal had his hand behind my sentence.

I couldn't accept it that..

..being innocent I keep rotting in jail and you keep living like orphans.

Only I know how I have spent the last 6 months in jail.

And now, till I take my revenge, I will not rest.

No father. In eyes of law, you will become a bigger criminal.

For their crimes, the law is there.

The Law?

The law is only for the rich, Durga.

When it imparts justice to the poor, it blindfolds itself.

That is why I alone will punish Dharampal. Come with me.

No, father, the path on which you want to take us will lead to destruction.

Listen to me, and hand yourself over to police.

Banjara! Come on, hurry up!

Listen to me, don't be adamant.

It's not too late. Let's get away.

No, father, I will not let lives of these children be spoilt.

I am proud of you!

Daughters of gypsies are like sons.

Ok, I'll move now.

I will try & come in between...

As soon as possible I will send some money.

No, father. We will toil and do labor.

But we don't want any earnings from crimes.

Don't cry mother!

Everything will be all right.

Everyone said the happiness in this house will return..

..when your father will return.

But that hope too has gone.

I am there.

Now whatever father had taught us during childhood will come in handy.

What do you mean?

You will entertain on the streets?

Yes.

"If you give me a rupee I will do two jobs."

"If you give me a rupee I will do two jobs."

"First I will sing!"

"First I will sing!"

"After that I will salute you!"

"If you give me a rupee I will do two jobs."

"See the skills of my youth!"

"See the skills of my youth!"

"And keep seeing the actions of our show."

"I'll fill your eyes with grand spectacles!"

"Some of them yours and some of them mine!"

"Whatever I do, I will do it openly."

"If you give me a rupee I will do two jobs."

"On my cheeks will play my tresses!"

"On my cheeks will play my tresses!"

"Many of you will change your intentions!"

"My slim waist may develop a twist! And the young hearts will feel tantalised!"

"And a full night's sleep will be lost!"

"If you give me a rupee I will do two jobs."

"If you give me a rupee I will do two jobs."

"First I will sing!"

"First I will sing!"

"First I will sing!"

"If you give me a rupee I will do two jobs."

Leave me!

Don't trouble a beggar! I will sort each one of you out!

Auntie, your son has returned!

What? My son has returned! Where is he?

- I am your son! - No, you are not my son!

Get aside.

- You're lying. - Why are you troubling the old lady?

Durga. Durga.

She keeps troubling us. She is mad.

- Send her to an asylum! - Quiet!

I will send your mother there, who has produced a son like you.

- What did she do? - Produced me!

Now scram from here, or else I will give you one back hand.

- Mischievous kids. - Run!

Durga, these children trouble me.

Why do you come out?

You're aware that these kids will trouble you.

If you need anything just call for me.

I'll help you.

No, I didn't need anything.
