Four rotis for father

And four for Shalu

"Today is Tuesday, so he should be here by afternoon"

Now I just got to make two more rotis for me

Shalu! Back so early?

"Shabbo, where are you running off to?"

"No, nowhere"

Who are you going to meet? - Nobody

Look at her flying away

Probably going to meet her beau

I guess Shalu is back from the city

Why are you screaming?

You think your voice can cut through the falls and reach the city?

I heard Shalu's voice. That's why I came running to meet him

Happens in love

Even the rustle of the leaves sound like the beloved's footsteps

"He is supposed to come today. It's Tuesday, isn't it?"

"Tuesday, it is. The poor chap must be held up somewhere"

He went to the city for some work. - Work? Important than me?

"Badly missing Shalu, eh?"

You are counting every moment. Such restlessness!

If you find it hard to live without Shalu...

tell your father to marry you off to him...

before he gets you married elsewhere. Or you'll regret all your life

Nikki! Your mother wants you

Keep waiting. I'm off

"Wandering all alone in this wilderness, darling?"

Are you looking for someone? - Yes. Looking for Shalu

Shalu is such a fool! He has no appreciation for this gem

"Banwari! - Don't be furious, pretty"

Only a connoisseur like me can appreciate a beauty like you

Try embracing my friend

How dare you hit my friend?

"Let me go, scoundrel! Else, I'll tell Nikki"

"Go on, tell her"

I rule over Nikki. She'll only believe me

Let go! - Let's talk about you

Let go. I say! - Banwari!

Because of loafers like you...

women fear to step out of their house

You're talking to me? - Who else?

I'm tired of hearing complaints about you

"Go home, girl"

"Look Mr Choudhary, I'm a tiger"

"I hunt in the open, unlike you"

Cut the crap! - Done

Get this clear

"If you act fresh with a girl again, I'll have you ostracized"

He married a rich girl from the neighbouring village

But he still has the hots for Shabbo

What did you say? - Nothing

The bud has blossomed

Alas!

The fragrance hasn't yet reached your the garden of your heart

Who are you talking about? - The same girl. Shabbo

"For whom, you pine every moment"

Know who you are talking to? I'm the village chief

So what?

Girls unabashedly sneak into the village chief's mansion...

in the middle of the night. Anybody says they don't?

"Shut up, Banwari. Have you forgotten my favours?"

Your entire family found a footing in my village because of me

Have you forgotten the property case? The debts?

Go and call his father Tolaram here. Let me ask him

"No! Forgive us, Mr Choudhary. Our mistake"

Why mess with him? Let's go

"Don't think hard, Murli. Discard"

Gosh! You dumped a trump card

You can't pick it up now! - Why not?

Are we in a casino? I'm playing with my friends

Let him pick it up. Murli is our friend

Take it. I spare you this time

Just what I wanted! I'm through

Your cards?

Out with 2 bucks

You'll remember I gave you two bucks

Give me a fag

It's grass. Take a drag

"There's a fair going on nearby, Murli"

A girl is performing a dance. Want to come?

I'll go anywhere for a danseuse

Go to hell with these scoundrels

I've told you scores of times not to gamble or booze...

not to sit in such places with these loafers

Ass! You belong to the Choudhary stock

Try to preserve your dignity. - That's my priority

But these dogs force me to play

"I'm from the Choudhary family. I command some respect, don't I?"

Scums

Bloody swine

He does things on his own and we have to listen to the abuses

Keep him out henceforth

"Gambling, eh?"

Wife!

Take care of your darling

He was again sitting at the corner of the street with those loafers...

smoking beedis and playing cards. You have spoilt him

"He's just a kid. Besides, you know he's mentally retarded"

Then why are you always after him?

Shut up. Stop defending him

"Another word, and I'll send you back to your father"

"Rich man's daughter, my foot!"

Murli...? - He hit me

Slapped me on the way

"Don't mind it, Murli. He's your elder"

He has a right

Look at me. The things I bear!

Thief

What on earth...? You almost scared the life out of me

Life? Out of you? Not that easy. It's quite stubborn

Are you raving?

"You call me ""My life"", don't you? I can't betray you, can I?"

Prankster

You're going to kill me someday. - Certainly

Mr Kedarnath...

Choudhary sahib wants all the records updated today

"The officials are coming tomorrow. - I will do it, Gopu"

Even if I have to sit all night. - Very well

He didn't turn up even today. Who's going to eat his share of rotis?

Let him come. I'm no Shabbo unless I make him starve for a couple of days

"Eat slowly, father. What's the hurry? - There's lots of work"

"If I go on eating, who will do the job?"

What's this? You only had one roti?

You have no idea. One by one I tend to eat up all these rotis

You don't seem to get any fatter

"Well, if you have a well inside, I have no idea about it"

"Father, you got to work, don't you?"

You're eating so slowly. Hurry up

"One last morsel, quick. - What are you doing?"

Eat slowly... hurry up! What are you upto?

This girl is crazy. A sweet menace

Shabbo!

"Looking away from me, Shabbo?"

"I've come for you from so far, and you don't want to talk to me?"

"You were supposed to come on Tuesday. - Yes, so?"

Is today Tuesday? - It's Wednesday

So what? Only a day late. - An entire day

"I lost one morning, one afternoon, one evening and a mile long night"

"Forgive me, please. I won't do this again, I swear"

Look what I've got for you. A red veil

It's so beautiful

I don't want all this

Make a noose out of it and put it around my neck

I'd rather die than stay away from you

"What have you been doing, my love, when you were

"As for me, I was lonely..."

"I used to weep, in solitude"

"How do I tell you, my love..."

what I did when I was away from you?

"I prayed all day, all night"

All I asked for was you

My friends used to ask me...

what is this ailment that I've embraced

"I stared at them, quietly"

What could I tell them?

The parting had made me listless

Those were...

"awful days, my love"

"You were helpless, so was I"

All I did was miss you so badly

I wished you were there

The season of separation was unpleasant indeed

Though it had a flavour of its own

Those squirms and the anxiousness...

to be honest...

were fun

"Oh, what curse this love is"

"Smiles, in times of joys..."

as well as in times of sorrows

Don't ask me how I endured it

All I asked for was you

"What have you been doing, my love..."

when you were away from me?

"As for me, I was lonely..."

"I used to weep, in solitude"

"How do I tell you, my love..."

what I did when I was away from you?

"I prayed all day, all night"

All I asked for was you

"Discard, Ramu. - Here you are"

I'm through. You lost 2 bucks

Here's 2 bucks. Your turn to deal. - The Choudhary's son!

Let him stand there. Deal

I've been standing here... why don't you guys include me?

Deal for me too. - No way

Why not? - You're the lamp of the Choudharys

"Go and light up the mansion. Dignity, my foot!"

Oh come on. I had to say that before my brother

Else he'd have beaten me up

You guys know that you are my only friends

"Come on, deal for me. And let me have a beedi"

Have a cigarette instead. Deal for him too

"What's wrong with you, Nikki? - Don't touch me!"

"Or, I'll kill you"

"Your love has already killed me. You can't kill a corpse, my princess"

Stop flattering me. How could you flirt with someone...

when I am around? How dare you flirt with my friend Shabbo?

"Is that why you are cross, my love? - Hands off"

"Don't drag the matter, Nikki. I spared her because she is your friend"

"Else, I'd have set her right. She's always after me"
