Well Done Abba (वैल डन अब्बा)

You're still here? Why haven't you left?.

What did you tell me, Arman Ali?.

"Sir, I have to find a groom for my daughter. "

'I need a month's holiday. '

I agreed.

And you return three months later

What nonsense!

You've lost your job. Did you hear it?.

You've lost your job. Get out.

Why do you say this, sir?. At least listen to what I have to say.

You know, that I hate to sack you.

But when you are pushed into a corner..

..you have to look at other options

Now leave. Let me do my work.

Sir.. me.. me..

"Me.. me. " You sound like a goat.

Stop making excuses.

No excuses, sir.

What I want to say is..

I fell into a well.

What?. Well?.

So you fell into a well. - Yes.

Well done, Arman Ali. Well done.

Last time, what did you say?.

"Sir, I fell into a sewer. "

I believed you. You were swathed in bandages.

And this time?.

Sir, this time I fell into such a deep well..

..that wounded my heart more than my body.

What kind of a well was that?.

It wasn't really a well..

.. but a trap set up by men

Conmen who used words that penetrated my insides..

..and made mincemeat of me.

Were they terrorists?.

They were worse than terrorists.

I can't understand anything you've been saying for the last half hour.

If you will only give me some time..

I don't have time to waste.

I've told you 50 times. You're fired.. means you're fired.

Now get out.

I have to attend a meeting in pune.

You have to go to pune, sir?. - Yeah.

So, I can start work from today.

I'll explain everything on the ride there.

If you accept that Arman Ali fell into a well, fine..

..else I'll resign immediately.. shed my uniform

..and return to my village, Chikatpalli

You are impossible.

Here are the keys.

Bring the car.

Yes.

So, sir, that letter that came.. - What letter?.

From my brother Rahman Ali.

He had written such things..

..that will torment any father.

What was in the letter?.

He wrote that your daughter Muskan flies kites all day.

Listens to no one. She has got out of our hands.

She wears what she feels like.

And the boys in the village whistle every time they see her.

We've found a suitable boy for her.

Come and get her married.

If anything untoward happens, we are not responsible.

This is what you had told me when you took leave - what happened then?.

You sanctioned my leave..

..I left for VT Station..

..as the train for Hyderabad departs from VT.

In a hurry I sat in the reserved compartment.

But I didn't have any reservation.

Don't go on about your rail adventures -

Tell me what happened once you reached your village?.

Okay, I won't tell you about the tiff I got into..

..with the ticket collector..

No need to look at me while talking. Look ahead. What are you doing?.

Look straight ahead. Look at the road. - Yes.

I'll take you straight to my village Chikatpalli.

Take care.

Come on. Come on.

There are so many slogans and hoardings in the village.

Why have they put them up.

Can you tell me what they say?.

What are you saying, sir?.

If I could read and write..

..I wouldn't be pulling you along like a donkey.

Where are you coming from?.

From Mumbai. - From Mumbai?.

people in Mumbai can read and write..

You should also learn to read.

I can read. I can read.

It's just that I've left my reading glasses in my bag.

That's why I asked.

In your bag?. You keep your reading glasses in your bag?.

Take them out, then.

Carry on. What can I say.

How many languages can one know.

In Mumbai they say that you should speak in Marathi.

Here it's Telugu.

In Chennai, it's Tamil.

That's why I keep my reading glasses in my bag.

As my father used to say..

".. Don't get into explanations and arguments.. "

"..just speak the language of love. "

Wasn't he right?. Yes Sir!

Cut. Cut.

pull back. pull back.

Muskan!

Muskan, my daughter.

Come down quick.

Abba.

Sakina, hold the kite. Hold.

Stop. Stop. Stop.

Abba. Abba.

My daughter Muskan.

Abba - Oh, my child.

How are you, Abba?. - I'm very well, my love.

How much is it?. - I'll take

5 rupees.

Have you lost your mind?.

We hardly travelled any distance and you're asking for 5 rupees.

How are you going to explain this to Allah?.

Before that, I have to answer my wife and children.

Give me 4 rupees and 50 paise and a drink of water.

Hey, we don't have any water.

Go to a hotel if you want some.

My darling child, we shouldn't talk like that.

We must give him water. It is the custom.

Abba, there's water shortage in the village.

I walk three kilometres to get water.

Take 4 and half rupees and leave.

For one glass of water.. what kind of people are these?.

Here you are, sir.

Get a drink of water at a restaurant.

Where are Rahman and Salma?.

Uncle and aunt have disappeared.

Disappeared?. Why?.

Due to the water shortage..

..they devised a scheme.

They would steal water from wells at night..

..and sell during the day. - Oh, God.

Last night, they went to steal water..

..from Kallan Khan's well. - Kallan Khan's well!

But Kallan Khan had two constables waiting there.

Uncle and Aunt managed to escape somehow.

The constables fell into a ditch.

Utterly despicable.

They called me here all the way from Mumbai..

..assuring me that they found a boy for you..

..and now they've disappeared

Abba! A mobile phone!

Thank you very much, Abba.

You're great!

Salaam Walekum, Arman.

Salaam Walekum, Mohsin.

Sir!

Oh, sir.

What?.

Why are you bothering me?. Can't you see I'm busy?.

Now that you've started, get it over with and then we'll talk.

What is it?. What were you saying?.

What's written on the wall?.

You've got eyes.

It's written in big and bold letters. Read it yourself.

I have read it, but I'd like to hear you read it.

It's written, "Get wells dug under the Kapil Dhara scheme. "

"Solve your water problems. "

There's nothing about taking a leak here.

Troubling me for no reason.

Fine, fine. You're an educated man.

I don't have to give you any advice.

At your age, I suppose it's okay to take a leak in the open.

What an odd character.

Then the hoarding kept playing in my mind.

I thought, if I dig a well..

.. my patch of land can grow crops.

If I have a well, I can find a suitable live-in son-in-law.

I'll get Muskan married.

Why do you want a live-in son-in-law?.

My brother and his wife..

..are waiting for Muskan to get married.

So she can move to her in-laws

And as soon as that opportunity presents itself..

..they'll sell my fields.

Doesn't your brother work?.

Of course, he does.

He takes loans in my name from everyone in the village.

What can I say?. Muskan has a hard time because of him.

Hold.

pull back.

That one. That one. - Cut off that kite.

Excuse me.

Madam?. - pull the string.

Is this Rahman Ali's house?.

No, this is Arman Ali's house.

I've been given this address.

pass the string to me.. - Hold this.

So, if someone gives you an address..

..does that mean, the place belongs to them?.

Tomorrow if I write, Muskan Ali; Charminar, Hyderabad.

Will Charminar become mine?.
