All glories to Lord Bholeshankar!

What do you pray for from Lord Shiva every day?

Peace in the village, a nice job forme in the city...

...and a nice husband formy sister.

Why are you screaming? Won"t you let me pray in peace?

Goodbye, then.

- Hurry up, dear. - What happened, Uncle Rahim?

Has a bomb exploded orwhat? Why are you screaming?

My goat is ill since 2 days. lt doesn"t eat ormake any sound.

Please take the goat to the doctor.

You have three sons at home. Where have they gone?

They are no good. Only you are a capable person.

All right. Put the goat on my back.

Please take my hens to Abdul"s shop and bring the money.

- All right. - Here.

My son has left for his school without the school bag.

Please take it to him.

- How will l hold your bag? - ln yourmouth!

The cost ofliving is so high. Then there"s marriage in the family.

The bridegroom"s family has requested for non-vegetarian food.

Where from should l bring hens and goats?

Look!

- Give us the hens. - Let me take the goat.

My daughter is like your sister, isn"t she?

That"s right.

Prospective bridegrooms are coming overto see my daughter.

Till these pots are not sold, where would l get money from?

lfthere"s no money, there wouldn"t be any food, and l would lose face.

lf you have to lose face, it will be like l and the village losing face.

That shall not be. l will go and sell all the pots.

Help me lift it.

Hurry up, what are you doing?

Look, Bhola is coming.

Why do you carry so many pots?

Carry a few of our pots.

No, no. lt"s a matter of the village"s pride.

- You mean you won"t lift the pots? - Not now. Only in the evening.

- Please... - ln the evening.

- All right. - l am going.

What happened?

One pot is safe.

But you couldn"t save your dress.

- That"s right. - How will you go to the market now?

That"s right. People will comment ifl visit the market in this dress.

Give us your clothes. We will wash them for you.

You are right. Just a minute.

- Here. - Give it.

- Here. - What is it?

- A banana leaf. - Why?

lt"s visible, you see!

- Sundari! - What is it?

- ls it visible now? - No.

l was worried.

Shoo!

Go away! What are you doing?

The goat has eaten the whole ofit!

- What has the goat eaten? - The whole ofthe banana leaf.

ls it visible?

l hope it isn"t.

Where are you coming from, O Butcher?

l had been to Bhairav kumar to slaughter a goat.

- To slaughter a goat? - Yes, a black one.

- A black goat? - Here"s the skin.

lt means Rahim Uncle"s goat has been slaughtered?

l have even slaughtered fourwhite hens.

You are sitting here. l"ve to listen to the whole village"s complaints.

- You ruin all the work. - Why are you screaming, mother?

l was taking all the goods properly.

l wonderwhere from l put my foot on the soap and l slipped.

And all the goods were destroyed, isn"t it, brother?

Not the whole lot. l saved one. Look!

Wow! What an achievement!

l"ve told you so many times not to do other"s work. But you don"t listen.

l don"t go to anybody asking forwork.

Everybody dumps theirwork on me.

l am unable to refuse anybody.

That"s a mistake. Learn to refuse.

Father, he"s a simpleton. He won"t be able to understand.

Rememberthat saying, ""Weeping before a blind person is no good""

Just because you"ve studied in the city, you"re speaking like this?

Let me teach you a lesson.

- Help me, mother! - l won"t spare you.

- She"s right. - ls she?

- Yes. - All right.

l won"t do any work henceforth, no matterwhat?

- No household work too? - l won"t.

- Bhola! Bhola! - Don"t ask me to do any work.

- The school terrace has crashed. - So what?

Didn"t you hearthe the children are in trouble?

- So what should l do? - What you should do?

Will you go or should l give you a beating?

They say that l shouldn"t go. You say that l should.

- l am very confused. - Please carry on, brother.

All right. l will go. But don"t blame me if anything goes wrong.

- All right, we won"t. - Let"s hurry up.

Here comes Bhola. Make way for him.

Lift it!

Children...hurry up!

Hurry up.

Slowly...slowly.

The leader is coming. Make away.

- You haven"t done the right thing. - What haven"t l done right?

We voted for you and got you elected.

You became a minister. Did you fulfill your promise?

- Which promise? - Which promise?

After her 8th standard, when my sisterwent to the city to study...

...you"d promised to start a college. But even the school has crashed down.

You were thrown out of school when you failed in the 6th standard!

Someone from the opposition must have told you this.

The entire village knows this.

Remember...you won"t get a single vote from the village this time.

You won"t! You won"t!

Take out my shoe!

- Take my shoe and hit it on my head. - Why?

That"s because he did such a job.

- l built a college in the city. - He didn"t care for a school here.

- l started a hospital in the city. - Not even a small dispensary here.

- l started railways in the city. - Not even a bus service here.

That"s why! Beat me with my own shoe!

Enough ofit! keep it down!

l am glad to hearwhat you did in the city.

Now you think ofthe village"s welfare.

All right. Make sure that the school is restored by tomorrow.

The country needs youngsters like you.

You have enlightened me. Come overto my home tomorrow.

We will hold a discussion in the interest ofthe village.

- All right. You may go. - All right. Let"s go.

l want you to go to the city.

What for?

Capable people like you can become very big by going to the village.

And when you become a big man, you can serve the village too.

You can get your sister married with great fanfare.

That"s right. But l don"t know anybody in the city.

Don"t worry about that. l will give you an introduction letter...

...in the name of Jagannath Tripathi, who hails from this village.

- Jagannath Tripathi? - Yes, of course.

He has become an influential person in the city with his hard work.

He will make even you a successful person.

ln that case, l will surely go the city.

l"ll become a big man, and also find an educated boy formy sister.

All right, then. Come and collect the lettertomorrow.

- Greetings. - Greetings.

What kind of a ploy is this?

lfhe remains here, he will incite the people.

- l won"t get any vote. - You are right.

Sister, if you weep, l won"t go.

l am not weeping. lt"s fatherweeping.

Sister says that you are weeping.

She"s a fool. Why would l weep?

lfmy son has grown up and he wants to do something big...

...why should l weep? lt"s yourmotherweeping.

Mother, father says that you are weeping.

You are asking everybody. Look at your own eyes.

They have turned red weeping.

Nine girls had arrived from the village.

Ofthem, six agreed to enterthe profession.

Why just you...even your motherwill do it.

How dare she!

Sir, l have come, and l have brought.

Something whom you trade in and earn the green bucks.

The girls ofthe nights want to speak to you.
