Those Seven Days (Woh 7 Din)

SANSKRIT CHANTS

Look at the girl's fate! This ramshackle house and this car!

Maya has found a wealthy groom!

They didn't even have to give dowry!

Neither a music band, nor any relatives.

As if it's not a marriage but a robbery!

I think something is fishy.

There must a flaw in either the groom's family or the bride's.

Mr. Anand, you've to perform a ritual,

..before tying the nuptial thread.

I'll utter the oaths. Repeat after me.

I... - I...

This moment onwards... - This moment onwards...

Take responsibility of your livelihood.

Take responsibility of your livelihood.

To fulfil all your wishes and to always keep you happy.

To fulfil all your wishes and to always keep you happy.

I promise you. - I promise you.

Accepting you as my wife,

Accepting you as my wife,

I want to give you this nuptial thread.

I want to give you this nuptial thread.

You say now.

I... - I....

I'll be with you through all the ups and downs in life.

I'll be with you through all the ups and downs in life.

Following the religious path laid down by the scriptures,

Following the religious path laid down by the scriptures,

I won't tolerate any unrighteousness.

I won't tolerate any unrighteousness.

I accept the nuptial thread,

I accept the nuptial thread,

..considering the sacred fire as the witness,

..considering the sacred fire as the witness,

..considering God to be the witness,

..considering God to be the witness,

..all the celestial bodies as the witness,

..all the celestial bodies as the witness,

..saints and sages as the witness,

..saints and sages as the witness,

I promise you... - I promise you,

..that I'll hold this nuptial thread dearer than my life.

I'll hold this nuptial thread dearer than my life.

Now put the nuptial thread around her neck.

These 7 rounds around the altar binds you both together,

..as life partners for 7 lifetimes to come.

Dad!

You are so bad, dad! You got married alone!

Why didn't you take me along?

I've brought your mom. She'll always be with you.

Greet her, dear. - Greetings!

Savitri!

Look! Anand has come!

He has brought lady luck home!

Come here!

May God bless you!

May you lead a good life!

Listen!

Anand's room... - It's ready.

Get up. Go and take rest!

What happened?

Ganesh! - Yes sir!

Open the dispensary! - Yes, sir!

Ganesh! - Yes sir!

What happened? - I don't know, sir!

What happened to daughter-in-law?

Nothing.

Son! - You stay here!

Ganesh, close the door! - Okay!

What happened to daughter-in-law?

Is there anything to fear? Will you say something?

Nothing serious!

She fainted due to fatigue and will be fine by morning.

Don't mention it to mother!

She'll worry for no reason.

Both of you can go to sleep now.

No need to mention it to anybody!

How are you feeling now?

Forget that we got married tonight.

Consider me as your friend and tell me what the problem is.

Look, I'm a doctor.

I've told everybody that you fainted due to fatigue.

Nobody knows that you consumed poison.

If a girl consumes poison on the wedding night,

..then it's obvious that she got married against her wishes.

Look, Maya! We have our entire lives ahead of us!

Life will be difficult if we keep each other in the dark.

Don't cry. Tell me what the matter is.

Have you heard that joke?

A man came beneath a car with an intention to die.

But he didn't die because it was an ambulance.

They took him to the hospital and he was saved.

You consumed poison in the presence of a doctor?

It means God doesn't want you to die now.

You're destined to live a long and happy life.

What's the matter?

Whatever you tell you. I'll listen to you patiently.

Tell me!

Tell me!

"Between us!"

"What a strange bond is this between us?"

What is strange, boss?

You are from Patiala and even I'm from Patiala.

This is our bond. What else?

Hadn't I met you, I would've been running a gambling den in Koliwada.

Laxmikant-Pyarelal have composed such nice tunes! Great!

Many have tried their hand, but none could match them.

Enough! Music won't fill my appetite.

I want food! Food!

Immediately!

Since yesterday we've been living off a loaf of bread and tea.

I can't take it anymore.

Fool! Let's find a house first.

Then I'll cook for you myself. Hot cornbread and spinach!

Oh my God! When will you find a house?

When will you cook and when will I eat? - What to do?

Nobody is willing to let out their house to a bachelor.

Then say that you're married! This is Mumbai!

You can't survive without lies here!

I'll give you a tight slap!

We'll begin a new life with a lie!? No way!

I'll die! But I won't lie!

Then we both will die! Finished!

Heard that? The conch is blowing! We spoke the truth!

You're so foolish! It's not a conch!

It's a factory bell! - It's all the same!

We are searching for work and this is the factory's bell.

Meaning a worker's conch! Got it? Let's go!

Didn't I say our work will be done today? Look!

There's no bell! What to ring?

Why do you need a bell? Are we pleaders? Knock on the door.

Shout as well!

Why don't you call out with your sweet voice?

Ma'am!

Ma'am! Ma'am...

Greetings! We've come from Patiala!

Wait! I'm coming! - But you are leaving!

We saw a girl's face. It's a good sign.

But she went away. - She will come back.

Don't you have any vessel?

What is the need for that? My hand and mouth are sufficient.

Its okay! He's young!

You both sit here and eat in this! - No! You are mistaken!

We've come to enquire about the house on rent.

You've humiliated me. I have some honour, tradition and values.

You tarnished everything! - What? You didn't even let me lick i

We won't stay here. Let's go.

Listen! Grandpa has called you in.

I told you!

The second sign is also auspicious. Let's go.

The drawstring. - What?

The drawstring!

Greetings!

Maya! - Yes, grandpa!

I think you're right, Maya. They look like them.

Like who? - You're hanging this box around your neck.

So it looks as if you're begging.

I won't answer back since you're elder to me.

Even I have honour, tradition and values.

Talk to me respectfully. - What do you want?

Respect or room? - I'm already respected. I need a room.

Look, I'm giving only one room on rent.

This box won't even help you to feed yourself.

How will you pay the rent?

Grandpa, I don't beg. I've come here to be a music director.

Have you ever seen the big music directors,

..playing music on the streets?

Is he your son?

No! - Yes!

What's this? One is saying no. The other is saying yes.

What is this? - Actually we desperately need a room.

Nobody is willing to give me a room because I'm a bachelor.

And... - Bachelors first take a room on rent.

Then they escape with,

..the landlord's daughter and the rent as well!

Many even run away with the wives.

Do you think I'm such a man? - You don't look like one.

I'm telling you all this because women live in this house.

No such behaviour will be tolerated here.

Not at all! The question doesn't arise.

Then listen. You won't enter the house after 10 o'clock at night.

Then where will I go? - You will come before 10 o'clock.

You won't cook in the room. - Will we have our meals with you?

Shut up! You can have your meals anywhere but not in the room.

60 Rupees is the rent and the deposit is 300. -300 rupees?

We're leaving, grandpa.

Fine! I want to see the room. - I want the advance first.

Where is the bathroom? - There.

Hey, you! Where is he going? - To bring the advance.

Advance? In the bathroom? - Yes! My boss is very smart!

His mother told him to beware of the thieves in Mumbai.

So he doesn't keep the money in his pocket.

He keeps it underneath. - Meaning?

Here. In his underwear. How will the thief steal it now?

Please take this. - Drawstring.

What? - Drawstring!

Keep it here!

Who knows what kind of business he does!

Can I see the room now? - There!

How will we go up? By flying? - Hey, fool! Don't fly!
