Junglee (जंगली)

Everyone in the world laughs. And that's what makes life cheerful.

But this is the story of this strange man who never ever laughs.

This is Shekhar, who is returning from abroad.

This is the old mansion. A place which has never known what laughter is.

The moment he arrives, his staff spring to attention.

Meet the unmoving rock in the family. The lady who has borne with volcano.

This is Shekhar's mother.

Here's your son, Shekhar. He has returned successful from America.

I remember your words. "Feed the children gold, if necessary"

"But see that they grow up like lions"

That's the principle we have been following in this family.

You were so very right.

Laughter makes our children like any other people. They turn cowards.

Leading businessmen abroad were astounded by my business acumen.

They asked me the secret of my success. I replied...

it was the training my mother had imparted to me...

the principle of "no-laughter" that runs in the family...

and my father's blessings.

When I went abroad, chances of a thriving business were zero per cent.

But I did not cry. I fought till the chances were 100 per cent in my favor.

What you said last smacks of self-praise, Shekhar.

Isn't it also wrong to hear people praising you all the time?

Praise is what praise should be. - In that case, I withdraw my words.

"This was the loving union between mother and son after three years"

"Love, which this unfortunate mother never got in her life"

"From her husband, she got principles, children and a famous family"

"She gave her children everything too. But love, she could not give them"

There's a beautiful girl in this family...

"who happens to be Shekhar's sister".

"Her disposition is exactly the opposite of her mother and brother"

"She's going through the tribulations of youth..."

"she's in love with someone"

"Love, the birthright of every human being"

"She laughs. And she loves. On the sly, however"

"She's afraid, that should her brother and mother get to know..."

"she'd land in major trouble"

Why have you come here?

Why does a young man seek out a young woman?

My brother's arriving today. If he sees you here...

he'll shoot you. - I'm ready to die.

For how will we meet clandestinely like this?

Why don't you tell your brother we're in love?

That we want to get married. - The day he gets to know...

that I'm in love with a man who's a mere clerk in his office...

our heads will roll. - I'm not scared of death, Mala.

I may look like a weak man. But at heart, I'm a brave king.

My courage is like that of Salim's. And my temper is like Changiz Khan's!

Brother is here. - Goodness!

Changiz Khan indeed.

Brother's really here. Now what? - I must hide.

Brother! You have arrived! How are you?

What's up? You look worried. - I heard laughter in this room.

Who'd laugh here? Maybe someone did, 200 years ago...

when this house was built. - Dead!

Have you forgotten my name? - Isn't your name Mala?

You fondly call me Maala. Not Mala.

I'm dead!

I was prepared for death. Not for this ordeal.

What could I do? Your brother's going to be my brother-in-law.

Is this any time to arrive? - I'm sorry, sir. I'm 10 seconds late.

I don't want anyone here to be late even by a second!

Neeta who? - Your secretary, sir.

My boyfriend has met with an accident, sir. I'm at the hospital.

I want leave for a day.

No! Come to the office immediately. Or you get leave for good!

This office has nothing to do with your boyfriend.

Quit the job, if you wish to romance!

The poor girl has made a mistake. Forgive her.

Who'll make up for the work lost because of the delay?

The two of us will. - How?

We'll stay back this evening and leave after the work is over.

I don't want anyone coming late or working a second beyond office hours.

Get me the Hong Kong file.

Call the Calcutta office and have the dispatches sent to Singapore.

Very well.

It's like this, Shekhar.

You have played in my lap as a child.

You always used to call me "Uncle". Should you...

You can say that. But I've always considered it to be my own home...

You had better consider it to be my office. And get to work.

He doesn't even have the manners to talk properly.

Who'd work for him, if it wasn't for sheer helplessness?

The manager slogged days and nights to make this company a success.

And this how he treats him.

Where are you going?

I was only taking a walk...

Not a walk. It's fishy.

Or you would have worn the slippers, not carried them in your hands.

Mother, I took them off because I was getting a shoe-bite.

Know when you get a shoe-bite?

When you wear a smaller size. - No.

You get a shoe-bite when your feet grow too big.

When you start taking the wrong path. Try to sneak out again...

and your legs will be broken. Go to your room.

Watchman... - Madam?

Without my orders, no one leaves this place.

As you say, madam.

"You have wonderful eyes, my love"

"You're the one I'm in love with, my love"

"You have wonderful eyes, my love"

"I fell in love with you. Was that a bad thing to do?

"I fell in love with you... was that a sin?"

"For a gesture from your eyes, I could ruin myself"

"I'm responsible for all this too"

"You have wonderful eyes, my love"

"You are the one I love, my darling"

"Whatever you are, you are the one I love to behold"

"Whatever you are, you are the one I love to behold"

"Into my life, you bring Spring"

"You're the one I desire, my love"

"You are the one I'm in love with, my darling"

"You have wonderful eyes, my love"

"You are the one I'm in love with, my darling"

"You have wonderful eyes, my love"

"You are the one I'm in love with, my darling"

My father, the King, sends his greetings. He is indisposed.

Should Shekhar come over and meet the Princess...

the marriage could soon be fixed. - Tell the King...

Shekhar will surely marry the Princess.

It's our duty to fulfill the promise Shekhar's father made.

But Shekhar is leaving for Kashmir for some important work.

You may therefore await him on the 15th of January.

15th of January...? Could we advance the date by a few days?

Once we have decided, we do not advance things in our family.

The date shall remain unchanged.

It's a custom in our family not to return without giving a gift.

My father has therefore sent this sword for Shekhar.

Please accept this.

It's not our custom either to let the bearer of a gift go empty-handed.

Please give this necklace to the princess on my behalf.

And distribute the money among the poor as a gift from the Princess.

As you wish.

I forget... how much do we owe you? - 40,000 Rupees.

Here you are. You will get the rest after the marriage.

Only 4000? - How about me?

Here you are. The rest of it... - After the marriage?

And when is the wedding? - On the 15th of January.

Remember the date. If you don't repay every penny by then...

we'll be the worst yet. - Why get worked up?

I'm a Prince too. Your debt, I will clear. Sooner or later.

Keep this for the time being. ...and you take this.

Hey mister... at least return my wrist-watch!

Here's your necklace. I might need it again.

The rest of your money I'll pay after the wedding.

How much did the sword sell for? - Hats off, Dad!

That idea of the sword really worked. - Wasn't that a genius touch?

My father, after all.

Even before the wedding, they give us gifts worth 25000.

Imagine how much of money the family must have!

The wedding has been fixed for the 15th of January.

Our worries end once that happens!

15th of January? - Yes. The 15th of January.

Will our creditors remain silent till then?

I've silenced them for the time being. And look at this.

Shekhar's mother has sent this necklace for you.

It's beautiful!

I wonder how many necklaces I'll get after the wedding.

May I see it? - Sure.

It can't be worth less than 15000.

I'll keep that necklace, father. - No!

As your father, I have every right to it.

Haven't you kept some money for yourself?

I'm going to lose it if either of you has it. I'll keep it with me.

See? - What she says is right.

If the wedding does not take place, we'll land in prison.

For need of funds, several companies have closed down.

I have summoned you here to apprise you of the condition of our company.

Do you know what state our company is in?

Yes. - My foot!

In view of our condition, I have decided to give all of you a 3-month...

A 3-month notice? - Without the job, we're dead.

I'm busy. Call me after 2 minutes.

So where was I? Do you know what state our company is in?

Well... - You will never know.

In view of our condition, I've decided to give all of you a 3-month bonus.

I have decided to open an office. I might have to go there.

Where's your turban? Your turban? - I'll get it at once, sir!

Insolent man! I'll kill him!

The turban, sir. - On the head. Go on!

Put it on the head!

Whenever you serve us, make sure you're wearing the turban.

Or we can't digest the food. Understand?

Mala, suppose I told your mother that you and I are man and wife...

what will happen? - Nothing.

There'll be a gunshot. And you'll lay suffering.

Because I'm a poor man?

I wish I were a millionaire! I wish I had a bungalow and servants...

I'd say it loudly... "Mala is mine"

Mala is mine!

Jeevan, what are you up to? - Stretching exercises, dad.

Mind what exercises you do. Lest you stretch out too far.

Maybe you'll never regain your breath again. Understand?

Well? What do you want to say?

Mala is going astray.

I mean, she's still very young. - We don't keep a count of age.

After the age of 5, children and old men are all alike.

State clearly what you are trying to tell us.

Your sister is treading on grounds not worthy of her status.

She has fallen in love with someone. - Love? In our family?

We can forgive anything. But this crime we will never condone.
