Gopala Gopala (గోపాల గోపాల)

This is Meenakshi.

Gopalrao's wife and Lord Gopal's devotee.

She keeps troubling her husband with love and God with her devotion.

This is Moksha. Gopalrao's son.

Poor fellow! Like his lessons in algebra, he can never understand his parents too.

This is Gopalrao's elder sister And this is his brother in law.

Gopalrao gave dowry for her sisters sake.

This man gave it back to Gopal Rao as loan and is extracting interest.

Actually, loan is just a reason for him to settle in this house.

Just like a crow that found grain.

What? Isn't your brother paying the interest this time?

He cant take me for granted just because he is brother in law.

I will be dead before that.

Remove your hand first or you will actually die.

Oh! My!

This body which is rolling and slopping is, Otthu.

He is usually the victim of meenakshi's devotion.

Govinda! Govinda!

Govinda! Govinda!

Govinda! Govinda!

You must be wondering who this Gopalrao is--

He is a good man who appears bad or vice versa.

When all others believe in God he lives selling the God.

- Otthu. - Lord Vinayaka.

Please save me god.

Come fast. Seems like people are ready to build a temple if we are late.

Thanks!

What is this.. they don't even stop praying the idol even here.

Guruji! Why is God wearing your helmet?

Look at the people out there. Now God needs more safety than me.

It is empty now.

Didn't understand?

An ice cream seller has to sweat in the in hot sun...

...but he has to keep the ice cream in the freezer.

That is not fair Guruji. You cant compare God with that.

Your God doesn't have an address if I don't sell him.

Now tell me who Is great? Him or the one who give him shelter.

Do you have Gangajal?

Of course we have. Guruji just filled it up.

Piled it up is what he is saying.

Here.. Fresh Gangajal.

Just arrived in the morning from Gangotri in Ganga travels.

Is it?

What is this Guruji?

Great woman, she could smell and identify Gangajal.

Is it the first time you are getting on to a bike?

Yes sir.

Muhurat is approaching. Are you ready?

One.. two.. sit properly.. three.

Shit.

What sir?

Sneeze, this damn sneeze.

If there is one sneezes before dying even death will halt.

Now riding this bike is like getting into coffin. You better discard this.

It is a new vehicle.. I cant do that!

- Why did you buy this new trouble? - Please do it quickly.

Donate it to a priest like me.

This is the Superstitions.

"If you see a cat, you believe that your work will fail."

"But when the cat sees you, it will be disaster for her."

"You believe that lizards speak truth but bad luck if they fall on you."

"Stamping on fox tail is luck but when it howls its a bad omen."

"Why? Why? Why all this?"

"Why? Why? Two limbs we all have."

"But the right is more auspicious. Why these blind faiths?"

"Why? Why?"

"Why the faiths of Architecture.. as the earth is around like a ball."

"If you have the courage, you don't need holy threads."

"If you have strength in your soul, the talismans are nothing."

"Hands are for acting but not for rings with colour stones."

Oh god.

Mom said that if I write the saikoti, saibaba will come.

My dads last wish was to take all the families in this colony to Varanasi.

I request all of you to join our trip to Varanasi...

...and give peace to my fathers soul.

Your family must join.

Yeah. Definitely.

I will not come.

It is only for four days. Lets go please.

You tell him.

We can do the rituals in Ganga in the name of our forefathers.

Why should we go to Kaasi and waste food there?

We can as well feed someone here.

He said that his father soul will rest in peace if we all go.

Oh poor! He was bed ridden for two years and this son never turned up!

He was counting dollars in America.

Now all this is for building reputation

Daddy please daddy! Lets go daddy.

It will be good, it seems.

Guruji. Idols are sold cheap in Kaasi. If we can get one load...

...it will be bhajan trip for them and business trip for us.

So, when are we leaving?

You were not interested just now.

What would I do when children are insisting.

Play, you play man.

Oh lord!

"Oh Govinda! Gopala! Butter Thief!"

"Where did you go after stealing butter?"

"Oh Govinda! Gopala! Butter Thief!"

"Where did you go after stealing butter?"

"Gopal! Oh Nanda Gopal!"

"Oh Govinda! Gopala! Butter Thief!"

"Where did you go after stealing butter?"

"Go.. Go.. Go.. Gopala."

"Go.. Go.. Go.. Gopala."

"Go.. Go.. Go.. Gopala."

"Go.. Go.. Go.. Gopala."

Give me four dozen Ganesha with big belly.

Flute Krishna two dozen...

...that six pack Hanuman a dozen.

And yes that lady on the tiger, give six of them.

Bhai.. She is Goddess Durga.

Yeah yeah Durga. What is the total?

Total six dozens.

Six dozens?

Then you must give at least three Saibaba as bonus!

Play, you play man.

- Bhai, come here. - What?

I have one miraculous idol. Maha Shivling. It emerged from the ground! Only one lakh!

One lakh?

You should know that I am the master of this story! You are just a small kid.

Pack and send the order. You cant fool me. One lakh eh?

Believe it or not! You have to follow some traditions.

You know that I don't believe all this!

Then why did you come to Kaasi?

He is like that! Please continue.

Not that.

You carry on.. Go on.. you know I don't like these all.

You carry on.. Go on.

Such a wastage of food!

Hey! Otthu.

Guruji.

Did you stock the goods in the shop?

Did that last night.

Check for the prices marked by them and remove them.

Stick our slips but don't write any price.

Okay sir.

And then watch out how I would be selling.

No.. No.. I cant sell this.

This is a miraculous statue. Its a kind that emerged.

Emerged?

Yeah... Emerged in Badrinath.

Once my business ran into losses and I went to Badrinath for peace of mind.

I saw a sadhu fainted with thirst. I gave him water and saved him.

And he was so impressed that he presented this to me. My life changed from then.

I built this shop, bought a triple bed room house with attached bathroom.

You see attached bathroom.

All this because of this cute little Kannayya.

I can give away my Kannayya. You take anything but this.

No I want just this one.

I have three wife's. Six kids. And twenty five lakh dues on betting.

I am doomed brother. I need this statue.

I cant give it that way Sethji. There is something else.

The Sadhu told me that a Baba devotee would come from Rajasthan...

...and that I should give this to him.

Please understand.

Oh! Brother!! I am that.. I am that Rajasthani.

Look the car is registered in Rajasthan.

And that quotation of Baba.. I am that Baba devotee.. Bhanwarlal.

Are you Bhanwarlal?

I am Bhanwarlal.

- And that is Rajasthan vehicle. - Yes.

- Baba Devotee. - Yes.

Hey Otthu. He is Bhanwarlal.

Yeah! I am Bhanwarlal.

A devotee of Shirdi Sai baba.. a Rajasthan vehicle.

Oh Kanniah, you are there!

Take this bhanwarlal sir, it is yours.

Come my Nandalal.

Only hundred rupees?

Otthu, you shouldn't ask. He'll give to God.

Remember when I gave all my gold for this?

That's why I am earning this much. It is going to be the same for Sethji too!

He gives a hundred he will get two or three hundreds.

Even I have gold. I will also give everything.

All my losses and troubles will be gone. I will keep this statue and start betting.

I'll take leave brother!

Take it and just don't turn around.

- Okay, see you. - Come my Nanadalal, come to me!

I knowing cheating is bad but believing in cheaters is worse.

My business is safe as long as such people survive.

We see people rushing to walk on fire.

Even kids and women are prepared to walk...

...believing that their wishes will be fulfilled.

You are witnessing those scenes now.

Otthu Seems like all troubles will be gone if you walk on the fire.

Do you want to try?

Where did this emerge from?

Dwaraka. The birth place of Srikrishna.

Hail the great teacher!

Lets see the speciality of this place.

Hey why is she here?

The devotion of that great lady is balancing out your sins guruji.

Stop that nonsense and shut down the shop.

Gopalrao bhai.

What is it Aslam bhai?

Can you keep an eye on my shop for a month?

Are you going somewhere?

I am in troubles bhai! I thought I visit Allah in Mecca and take his blessings.

Aslam Bhai.. Why don't you pray to Allah from here and get your shop repaired?
