This is the story of 2 girls- Anju and Manju,...

..who were born in this palatial mansion but never enjoyed it.

When Manju was 6 months old, her maid kidnapped her.

It is rumoured that the maid was mentally unstable.

- Master! Master! -The owners took this loss to heart...

... and called Tribhuvan from the village...

... to look after the property.

As soon as Tribhuvan arrived...

... plots started floating around the mansion...

...cause he wanted his brother's immeasurable wealth for himself.

When Anju was ten...

... her parents died in a car accident.

But people say that accident had been caused to happen.

But nothing was proved. After Tribhuvan's wife's death...

... his sister-in-law, Amba came to leave his son.

Amba came but never went back.

It's said that Tribhuvan and Amba had an affair.

One day Tribhuvan tried to kill Anju too.

But the cunning Amba stopped him.

As the property would then have gone to the trust.

Tribhuvan swallowed his anger...

... and poor Anju had to pay the price.

No! I don't want it.

- Why are you late? - Today is her parents' death anniversary...

... so she was shedding tears.

Today is my brother and his wife's death anniversary...

... and no-one told me!

This is disloyalty that the brother who looked after me...

... I forgot his death anniversary!

I' m not worthy of pardon. I should be punished for my crime.

- Anju, what's my punishment? - What are you saying, Uncle?

I... was crying because of my helplessness...

Who made you helpless? Did you, Amba?

How could I dare do that? I' m a guest in this house.

Anju is the mistress of this house.

Yes, her wish will come true now.

Anju, what do you want? Tell me, my child.

I' ll offer flowers worth Rs.5/- to the temple in their name.

Only worth Rs.5? For my honourable brother and his wife?

Absolutely not! Buy all the flowers from all the shops.

10-ay Anju, in memory of her parents, will distribute...

... clothes and sweets to poor children.

- Really? - Yes, child. - But the money?

Don't you dare talk of money. Here dear, keep this money.

- Distribute it. - No. - Take it, my dear.

You must be crazy to think I'd give you money.

One only sheds tears for the dead. Come on, to the bank.

Come on and no excuses at the bank. I' m fed up of your tears.

Keep this. Go.

- Miss Anju, here's your money. - Give it to me.

Times are bad these days.

Carrying money is quite dangerous.

We' re in a hurry. We take leave.

What's the hurry?

- Have a cup of tea. - Today is my brother's death...

...anniversary. Anju has to dole out clothes & sweets to the poor.

We have lots of work. So we must take leave.

- You' re forgetting something. - No, I've taken the money.

- Anju has forgotting to sign. - Oh!

Take.

Cap!

Sign.

- Who gave this money? - To buy flowers, Dadu gave it.

Dayal, come here.

Dayal take off my shoes.

Your fingers have grown old serving this family, Dayal.

I' m proud of this fact, master.

Who does this much to earn one's livelihood?

I' m slave to your command, master.

Why did you give Anju money against my wishes?

- Want money? - Don't beat Dadu.

Want to celebrate their anniversary?

- Only five rupees. - What? - He only gave me five rupees.

How dare you speak back!

It's very important for you to obey me Dayal. - Yes sir.

Hold this! Hold. Hold it.

Celebrate their anniversary go on!

Have you gone mad? If she dies we' ll be on the road. - But...

Can't you wait? Spoiling matters.

Still standing here!

Go do your work It's only a little blood!

Sister, if something happens to you, what' ll I do?

Yes Raju, I have to live. For you, I must.

I have nobody else but you!

All this should be clean by the time we return, understand?

Or l' ll make you wash the floor with your tears.

She's putting on weight! Cut out one meal from her diet.

Everything should be clean, understand...

Stop crying and smile for me.

Please sister. Okay whom shall I imitate?

Shall I mimic Papa?

She's put on weight, Cut out one meal from her diet.

Sis, I want to get married.

Strange, you' re not at all interested in my personal life.

Friend, sis doesn't want to hear, so l' ll tell you.

If I get married, she' ll get some respite.

I've seen a girl also. She studies in my class.

She's unmarried so far. She helped me with my spellings once.

But her nose is always running!

She' ll bring lots of chocolates in her dowry.

I would've refused but its a matter of all those chocolates.

- Sis, talk to her folks. - Crazy guy, stop it!

I haven't seen you dance for ages.

No.

You know what' ll happen if they catch me dancing.

Your face glows with happiness when you dance.

No.

- We did hear some music here. - Even I heard it.

- Yes, sir. - Who was dancing here?

Dancing? God knows. Anju was cleaning this place.

Raju must the playing somewhere and at my age, I can't dance.

- Answer to the point, go. - Alright.

I've called important people for my birthday.

Keep an eye on Anju.

You've said it and Amba has heard it.

- You relax. - Aren't you forgetting something?

- What? - Nothing.

Oh! Many happy returns of the day.

By the way, how old one you today?

Have I ever asked you your age?

Happy birthday. So how many winters have you seen go by?

- l' m a little boy still. - Where's Anju? I don't see her.

She must be busy.

I keep telling her there's no need for her to work.

But she loves to do everything herself.

- And where's Suraj? - I don't understand him at all.

All kids return home by 10 but his night begins only after 10.

Have you planned for some dance or its just cake and out?

Wait a minute and watch, Mr.Vishwanath.

Friends, thank you for joining me in my joy.

You've always abused me for my miserliness.

But today your abuses will be drowned by applause. Clap!

Anju, what' re you doing here alone. Come, join in, come.

How dare she slap you before other's Tribhuvan!

You must take charge or things will go out of hand.

I won't spare her,my whip hasn't tasted her blood for some time.

Dance! Let me see how much you' ll dance today.

Today l' ll make you dance to your hearts content.

No! Don't beat me.

Get up!

Beat me! Yopu will beat me?

Dance! You love to dance!

I' ll show you such a dance that you' ll forget your own dance.

You've danced to music, now dance to the tune of my whip.

If I let go of you, you' ll fall and become lame.

And you won't be able to dance anymore! Shall I let go?

- No. - No, okay I won't let you fall.

Got hurt? Broke your leg?

Now we' ll make dear Anju stand & check whether her leg is broken.

It hasn't broken. Then now it' ll break!

You' ll hit me! On my birthday!

You will humiliate me in everyone's presence?

Master! Stop it! Have mercy!

Forgive Anju, sir! She' ll never dance.

Explain to, her that if she ever dances again,...

... she wont have feet left!

She won't dance again.

Get up child.

Get me poison, Dadu. I want to die, Dadu.

Why doesn't death come to me?

I cannot take this anymore.

Have patience child and trust in God.

Remember my child.

Whoever gave that whip in Tribhuvan's hand, also gave...

... somebody else the power to snatch it from him.

Manju is my name, what?

- Sorry, Manju bai. - Me, bai, a courtesan.

You called me a super stage artiste, a courtesan?

I didn't, my boss did.

Will you pay me or not.

I danced and performed a whole show for you.

Didn't you tell her what I said?

What did he say?

He said you should come for dinner to claim your money.

Take care of this girl.

Brother, you? I...I was simply joking!

Doesn't matter, l' ll take my money later. Bye, Tata.

Jaggu, things are beyond my control now.

I won't get involved in your problems.
