Liberation (Rihaee)

Vander village- the men of this village have gone to cities for work.

And their families are behind in the village.

l told you that your husband has gone to the city and forgotten you.

''My husband writes two letters a day, one to me and the other to my son.''

- Read it. - Alright.

- l recognize it. - lt's the same thing.

- Still read it. - My dear Santu.

Continue! Say such things to Champu.

You'll have to come to me to read your letters.

- Anything for me? - What difference does it makes to you?

- My letter? - You won't talk to me if l don't get your letter.

- Work keeps me very busy. - Why do you have to work so much?

You won't understand all this.

- Anything for me? - l'm there for you.

- Don't say anything. - Okay cool down.

- Did my son sent a letter? - No.

''- My moneyorder? - No, but tell me if you need anything.''

Greetings!

''- Mr Kheta, come out. - Coming.''

- What news have you brought? - There's a letter for you.

Here.

- Read it for me. - Okay.

lt's from Mansukh. l'm returning from Dubai.

l'll soon be there.

Will you please sit there?

- Where are you going? - To Vander village.

- Are you coming from abroad? - l was in Dubai.

And am returning after four years. l've even forgotten my village.

- How many children do you have? - None.

- My wife died two years. - Then you'll have to set up home again.

That's true. Otherwise who'll enjoy all my wealth.

- A son is a must. - Yes.

l stay in the neighboring village. Give me your name and address.

Who knows where destiny may take you.

Just a moment. Leave it.

Thankyou and goodbye!

- Are you... Mansukh? - And you Raojibhai?

- You've grown old in these four years. - And you've become young.

''Come, l'll lift your luggage.''

The taxi service has not started here?

We don't need it either.

''Ramesh, bring the camel cart here.''

- When did you come? - Just yesterday morning.

- Are the kids fine? - Yes.

Don't touch this.

''- Welcome, son! - Greetings, father!''

Where is Kalu? Keep that glass.

Did you see him? He looks so handsome.

One of you must get him. Don't lose this opportunity.

''Come on, get ready.''

They are irritating. Get lost!

''- lt's okay, father. - Go!''

Have you never seen a young man earlier? Rogues!

''- They've really irritated me. - lt's okay, father.''

lndia is very hot. We'll have to fix an air-conditioner.

- How much will it cost? - lt's not very expensive.

''- Who is she? - Son, your mother is no more.''

You also left and l felt lonely.

l didn't even have a daughter-in-law to look after me.

So l brought this woman to look after me in my old age.

''Come on, go inside. What are you doing here?''

- Son Mansukh! - You've had it now.

Welcome!

He looks so handsome just like a filmi hero.

''Two years ago we had film show in our village, he looks just like him.''

True but don't flirt with him or your husband will kill you.

- l wonder who will get him. - Certainly not you both.

The war will be between Tellu and Dhapu aunt.

He's got lot of imported stuff. l heard he'll be staying on Bombay.

''lsn't it, Taku?''

- How would l know? - Just look at her.

''With three daughters she's so arrogant,...''

l wonder what she'd have done had she had three sons!

Can only you give birth to sons?

An astrologer has predicted a son for me. So don't be so proud.

Why is she getting so upset?

l think her husband is no longer attracted to her.

Amarji has neither sent a letter nor any money.

My husband has sent chocolates and clothes for my son.

''Jhumku, why are you needling her?''

''Don't worry, my husband is very good to me.''

He's even sent a letter for me.

''- Greetings, Madam! - What is all this?''

l repeatedly told you that this is not how l want it.

''Madam, this is still incomplete.''

''Once that design comes over it, this will get hidden.''

Okay!

And this? lt is so small. Had you measured it?

Listen when l'm talking to you. What is all this?

Had you measured it? Give me the tape.

- How much is it? - Nine inches.

''- l want twelve inches. - Twelve inches will be too long, Madam.''

Just follow my instructions.

l've got fed of you people.

Firstly you've delayed it and to top it you are careless also.

Anything else?

''- When will it get ready? - Very soon, child.''

''Come on, get back to work.''

- ls that done? - What is this?

Half the time this man is not here.

And when he is here he's just idling away his time.

- l won't pay him. - He works and so is paid.

How do l know that?

''- Madam, we are honest people. - Whatever!''

Will you show me this machine?

l've heard that it plays ones favorite songs.

Yes and you can switch on and switch off at will.

- The songs are in this box? - Yes.

My favorite songs are in this tape. This is called a cassette.

- One gets such wonderful things abroad? - Yeah.

How are the girls abroad? Are they like us?

l don't know since they are covered in a veil from head to toe.

''So one doesn't know about the goods,...''

if they have honey colored eyes like you or silky hair.

Our girls are something else!

What happened? Where are you going?

''Son, you are here and l was looking for you.''

- What are you doing here? - l came for a stroll in the fields.

Then you should've told me. l'd have accompanied you.

- l've made kheer for you. - Really?

- When are you coming home? - l'll come sometime.

These girls never leave you alone.

''Aunt, go and rest. lt's so hot.''

''- lt's okay for me as l'm a man. - Son, you are so concerned about me.''

l want a son-in-law like you.

May my husband be doomed. He's saddled me with four daughters.

''- What shall l do now? - Aunt, l'm busy now.''

l'll meet you later.

- Please read this letter for me. - Certainly.

- ls it from your husband? What's his name? - lt's written in this.

''Everything is fine here. You want me to come there,...''

but l can't come home often as l've to earn a livelihood.

Now you must have children.

l'll send you money within 10-12 days.

But this is two months old?

l make do with this until a new one comes.

''Listen, do you know who owns the property behind the well?''

- Which property? - The one behind the well.

l want to invest my money in property. Do you know who owns it?

The one to the left or right of the well.

There is a piece of land just behind the well.

''- But that is barren. - Not that. Come, l'll show you.''

She must have got some spicy news.

- Do you know what l just saw? - What?

You won't believe it. l too found it hard to believe.

''- Will you speak? - l saw Sukhi with Mansukh,....''

going towards the fields. She was all decked up.

- l'm sure something is amiss. - Her husband's to be blamed.

She'll get tied down once she has a kid.

Roopji will be livid if he gets to hear about it.

''- He'll kill her. - Taku, why are you silent?''

Each to his own. But why are you so sad?

- This doesn't concern us. - How can you say that?

''Taku, you always side track us. We too have to get our girls married.''

You'll realize this when your daughters come of marriageable age.

''Tellu, don't talk much to her.''

lnvesting in property is the safest bet.

- Will you stay here? - Not at all.

l'm a creative person and will set my business in Bombay.

l'll buy a room to set my factory.

- What happened? - l twisted my foot.

- Shall l take a look? - No.

- What happened? - No.

- You are hurt. Let me see. - No.

l'm scared.

Where are you coming from? Do you know what you are upto?

Have you got no shame? ls there nobody to rein you?

- But what have l done? - Didn't you go with that man?

Which man? lt's been two years since l saw a man.

Don't this charade. l'm on the look out for a groom for my daughters.

And you have a husband and you're eying another man?

- Don't you have any shame? - What are you saying?

Stop chasing Mansukh. Roopji will skin you if he comes to know.

Don't you know what happened to Dhani?

''Aunt, don't make a mountain of a molehill.''

Didn't you wished it was you instead of me with him?

- What is this? - This is a brush to comb hair.

Take a look at it.

''- Shall l help you? - No, go elsewhere.''

- Who is she? - Takubai. She has an attitude.

- She's Amarji's wife. - She thinks no end of herself.

''Amarji, l think you'll soon strike lucky.''

''- What are you saying! - Had Roopji been in your place,...''

You are no less!

''- Amarji, isn't Sridevi amazing? - ls it?''

- l saw 'Nagina' six times. - Six times?

ls it true that there are snakes who become human-beings?

''- Yes, but they live in their own world. - ls it?''

But Sridevi is from this world. Can all snakes become humans?

Bring the food.

''Magloo, stop singing and get in.''

''Gangu, get a cloth. Get the polish.''

Apply dettol or it'll get septic.

''Mrs. Mehta, he'll be fine. They are very tough.''

''- Why, isn't he a human-being? - He?''

He'll have to amputate his leg if it gets infected.

''- Go take an injection. - Madam, it's okay.''

- lt's okay. - Keep it.

- Keep it. - lt's okay.

Don't keep any space behind this closet or pests will come.
