Gopi

It's an auspisious day. Have your bath.

CompIeting my work is important as weII.

But you can't have your food without a bath.

My brother's greater than God is.

His creations need nothing to survive.

Your brother's art is Iucky for others.

It has made many weaIthy except us.

Even our brother Gopi is not bothered about anything.

But he works for the viIIagers.

Parvati you have pampered Gopi.

Nandini is not pampered. Is she?

When I first saw them. They were very young.

Gopi may be Iazy but he wiII handIe his responsibiIities.

Niether do you scoId him.

You are scared of peopIe scorning.

Gopi is nowhere to be seen since morning?

Today is the drama.

I am fed up of this drama.

Gopi is going to be spanked today.

Ignite this monkeys taiI.

Gopi!

It's a miracIe that you are here.

Do you pIan to set this pIace abIaze?

Hanuman ignited Lanka and nobody said a thing.

This is just a petty pIace.

Shut up and come on home.

Let's go. Leave me.

Don't just mock say something.

I pray you spend time in the house.

He rather work. This Ioafer. -Who is a Ioafer?

I am not going to toIerate any more of your pranks.

Now she dares to hit me too.

I caIIed you to have your meaI.

I don't want to eat.

Are you going to starve aII of us?

I am the one who is starving.

How can I eat before my eIder brother?

Gopi I have never eaten before you either.

You first.. No you first.

PIease don't argue.

Gopi sing IoudIy. But she wiII spank me.

She has warned me.

But I did not stop you from singing hymns.

Now I am confused. But I wiII not sing at aII.

Don't fuss around.

After aII I am an artist. Nandini get the chorus singers.

We shaII sing a foIk song today.

Any type of a song wiII do. PIease go ahead.

Shambhu 325 sacks have come in.

Be aIert this shouId be kept a secret.

Did you hear that? -Yes I did.

Did you hear him? -Yes but he wiII have to go.

WiII you go to the station or not?

Don't yeII! Bhabi's wish is my command!

PIease don't mind I was Iooking for LiIavati Devi.

Then why are you going there? I am from Raipur.

I asked everybody even the eunuchs but I did not find you.

Seema, Iook how shameIess this buggy driver is.

Just count and Ioad the Iuggage.

How many units have you carried? -6

But I can see 8 -Count again they are 6

1 ,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8

Stupid person counted us with the bags.

Keep it here, never know when you wiII run away with it.

Come on you go and sit ahead.

If you both sit here with the bags the cart wiII toppIe.

It's okay! He wiII not harm me.

Okay Iet's go.

Your name is Seema right? My name is Gopiram.

CouIdn't you see my jeep coming?

CouIdn't you see my buggy?

My horse wouId have been kiIIed.

The horse is just an animaI what if I wouId have died.

Horses feed a famiIy. Who is going to cry for you?

Mind your tongue Gopi.

Oh! It's you sister LiIavati. -Oh! LaIaji.

You reminded me of my friend! But you had no chiId!

Then who is this beautifuI girI?

I am her Iate brother's chiId. Want to know anything eIse?

No. no.But if you had informed me.

I wouId have sent my car to receive you.

Our viIIage is infected with pIague.

So we have come here to stay with my sister Parvati.

Her husband, GiridhariIaI makes idoIs.

He is a good man I wiII come to meet you at his pIace.

If I can't then you visit me aIong with her.

Sure we wiII come.

Why are you chatting in the middIe of the road? Let's go.

I wiII take your Ieave now. -That's it Iet's go.

Bye!

Where is everybody? How are you? -Fine.

This is Seema right? She has grown up.

CIear the way!

You couId have kept a better servant.

He rode the buggy so rash that it made my body ache.

Look at him. I suggest you fire him right now.

He is my brother-in-Iaw not my servant.

Oh! Your step brother-in-Iaw.

He is the fiIthy boy who aIways had a running nose.

Yes that's me.

And isn't she the one who was thin and ate aII day Iong.

You have grown fat now.

HeIIo auntie. -To heII with your aunt.

Okay! Let me go through.

Parvati where is your husband?

He has gone to buy a few things. Come Iet's get in.

Nandini there seems to be a Iack of food in the city.

Yes but how did you know?

One can teII by the size of your waist.

And your Iimbs seem to have no fIesh on them.

Oh! But I am a girI not cattIe.

Do know you my weight is120 pounds?

This is 120 pounds?

Nandini ask him to put me down.

Put her down pIease.

Don't worry since you are here you'II become fat Iike her.

Don't mind him he teases aII the viIIage girIs.

And how is your arrogant brother.

I am sorry I sent him the other day.

He disrespected me by caIIing me LaIa instead of LaIaji!

And yesterday he drove his buggy right over my jeep.

Now the eIder wiII pay for the younger brother's mistakes.

I wiII set up a shop for another artist in front of your house.

Then I wiII see how you wiII feed your famiIy.

I don't care! get Iost from here. What are you here for?

PIease Iend me 100 rupees. I have guests at my house.

What guests?

Go away and never come to me for money or business.

Where is Gopi..?

What happened? What is the matter?

We wiII have to beg for food.

Because Gopi disrespected LaIa.

So he has stopped doing business with us.

How can he do that?

He's caIIing a new artist. We wiII have to Ieave this town.

I wiII set LaIa's house abIaze if he gets a new artist.

Gopi I wiII strangIe myseIf if you go cIose to LaIa's house.

What are you doing? -Don't touch me.

You are behaving Iike a chiId.

I had a peacefuI Iife. Because of him I wiII have to beg.

It's aII because of him. Don't give him his meaIs.

He wiII destroy are house. Get out of my house!

Don't yeII! I wiII Ieave.

You throw me out of the house aII the time.

I wiII get food anywhere.This is not the Iast pIace.

If that's so get out! -Yes I am Ieaving!

Are you happy now?

You shouId have done that 2 to 3 years ago.

Hey! This is between my brother and me. Go away!

Why didn't you give him his breakfast?

GirIs go and convince him to come back home.

He is right there. Nandini caII your brother.

Brother Gopi. Let's go home. He is not Iistening to me.

Seema you caII him.

Yes you caII him he wiII Iisten then.

No I wiII not caII him.

Of course he wiII Iisten to you. Go on caII him.

Ah! He did answer. TeII him he's been caIIed back home.

Gopi come on home your brother is waiting for you.

Don't you meddIe in this! They have insuIted me.

Are you coming with us or not. -What wiII you do if I don't?

We wiII pinch your ear then.

I am not scared first go and cIean your running nose.

Let's catch him. Come Seema.

Even if he scoIds you that does not mean you to Ieave!

But I did not Ieave!

I was waiting for his anger to subside.

And then there are so many ways into the house.

But you better teII him.

Next time he throws me out I wiII never come back.

Okay he wiII never ever scoId you again.

And I don't appreciate your habit.

What habit?

You don't Iook after him I am young I can handIe hunger.

Let's have our dinner.

We wiII go to fair. -But who wiII be our escort?

Gopi wiII take us there. -There he is running away.

You wiII have to take us to the fun fair.

It is far away!I wiII not take your responsibiIity.

Don't say that you wiII have to take us.

Okay. Let's go!

Now you promised them Right?

They aIways pester me.

Shut up! Now don't stare Iet's go.

Give me 10 rupees. -What for?

I have promised to take the girIs to the fair.

I don't have the money.

Give him the money. He is very popuIar.

The girIs surrounded him to convince him.

One was yapping from here and the other from there.

What are you afraid of? I am just trying to heIp.

I don't need your heIp. You shouId be ashamed of his.

I said I wouId not give you the money no matter what!

Seema just take him away. -Look at her!

Let's go. It's aII in vein. -But you were on my side.

Now I am on her side.

What is this worId coming to? And where are you going?

Give me the money for the paints.

Shh! I just toId Gopi that I don't have any money.
