Deedar

I've warned him so many times.

One mistake and he could be severely punished.

Shyamu!

We're paupers, while they are royal people.

We are not comparable.

Have your food now, dear. Hey! He's run away again?

I wonder what happens to him when he hears her around.

You didn't come to play in the park yesterday?

My mother gets angry. She says that the poor and the rich aren't equal.

My maid also says that. So what? Will you sit on the horse?

- You won't let me fall, will you? - No. I'll be careful.

Make him sit with me.

He ran away again. How will I make him understand?

Earlier, he had her suffer accidents on the staircase and with fireworks.

Today he made her fall from a horse. He wouldn't let her live in peace.

Daddy, Shyamu didn't make him fall. He's not at fault.

He's not at fault? His main fault is...

...that he tries to sit next to you.

He should be kept at a distance.

I try so much to keep them away. But they get together again.

It's very difficult to stop children from playing.

You should consider that one is a princess, another is a pauper.

But you forget that both have been made by the same Creator.

She seems to be in the mood for a fight.

Shameless woman!

Even the sun and moon don't have wealth. Are they shameless too?

Listen, Shyamu's mother!

You're crossing your limits.

After all, at one time, Shyam's father too...

I cannot be any more accommodating.

Make some other arrangement. I've no place for Shyamu.

I'm myself not very keen to keep him here.

I could bear with God's punishments.

But I can't bear to be hurt by a wealthy man.

Let's go, Shyamu.

Mala dear...

Why look there? A hut and a palace cannot become one. Let's go.

Mother!

I leave him in an alien place under Your care, O Lord!

Vultures! - Yes!

I wonder whose cattle has died today.

Go and see if our animals are fine.

All my cattle was fine this morning.

Who knows? Perhaps a traveler has died.

A traveler?

Let's go and check.

Father!

Milk and bread. - Keep it there.

Have some bread.

If you cannot eat alone, I can join you.

Eat it. - Go ahead.

I won't eat.

Shyamu!

So, doctor? - Don't worry.

The child is a bit scared.

I'll send a medicine right away. He will be fine soon.

Champa, get me a glass of water.

Here.

Give it.

Where are you, Champa? It's dark. Switch on the light.

Put on the light. - The light is already on.

The light is on? But I can't see a thing.

Champa!

What is it? - Get me a glass of water.

Yes.

It's 12 years. You are always worried, and make me anxious too.

For how long will you sing this song?

This song is like my life.

I'll stop singing this song only when I breathe my last.

I can't understand the mystery behind it.

You can't. My songs have my lyrics; but somebody else's voice.

I can't understand. But whenever I hear it, my heart begins to sway.

What happened?

Don't let the heart mislead you.

The devil in the heart never spares anything.

It can ruin a whole lot of families.

Where are you going? Come, be seated.

You undid the ropes, did you? Looks like he wants to run away again.

I don't need to run away now, nor do I need to look for anything.

Looks like he has found something today.

Yes, I have. - What?

I've lost my eyes. Now, my songs mean everything to me.

I too sing very well. Hear me sing some day.

I swear... I've practiced for several years with my mouth in the pitcher.

You scream as if there's no love in your songs.

I scream, do I? - Yes, of course.

Did you hear what he said?

Whose love do you sing for?

Come, gentlemen.

My daughter, Mala. This is Lala Labhchand.

And this is his son, Dr. Kishore.

He has recently completed a course in eye-surgery.

You may have tea here. We'll be in the adjoining room.

Let's go.

Please be seated.

I should be telling you this.

The landlord of Ranigunj was ready to pay 200,000 rupees.

But I refused. I said I'd accept whatever you offer. You come first.

Rest assured. I can pay a bigger price to have Kishore.

I have only one daughter.

Only a truejeweler knows the worth of a diamond.

That wasn't necessary.

Affection is more important. Money is not so significant.

According to social customs, I've paid an advance.

Now the alliance is forged. The boy is mine now.

Yes. Kishore wants to go for an outing. I should be leaving.

Be seated. Tea is being sewed.

I wish to go out for a change of scene.

How much of sugar? - That would be enough.

But I'll be back very soon. In a couple of weeks.

Would you like to have some cake? - Thanks.

Thanks.

What a wonderful place!

What a lovely weather!

Dear Mala... only if you were here too.

'Dear Mala, you are far away. But your memories are with me'

'I'm lost in your love ever since I have met you'

'There's everyjoy here. Your absence is being felt, though'

My absence?

'What else do I write? You rs, Kishore'

My Kishore!

I forget the world when I miss you.

Do you ever remember me?

What were you saying? - Nothing.

You were indeed saying something.

"Do you ever miss me?" That's what you said.

I was indeed saying that. But I don't know why I was saying it.

You know how to hurt. But you cannot heal.

- Why don't you come to the point? - What should I say?

Whatever you feel.

The story in my heart is still incomplete.

The day it is completed, I'll narrate it to you.

God knows when it will be complete. Come on, let me serve food now.

Be seated.

I've prepared these special potato pancakes for you.

Potato pancakes?

I love it, too! Let me have some.

I'm feeling very hungry today.

Go and fetch water.

You may get up if you've finished. I've yet to eat.

What's this? Won't you mend your ways?

Fool! He won't be able to digest this potato recipe.

He's come again.

Champa dear...

Greetings, Uncle. - Bless you.

It has been two years since Chaudhary died.

But you have yet to repay my 18 rupees.

We've lost everything. If you wish, I will give you these bangles.

- You'll give away your bangles? - When I've lost all support...

for how long will these bangles remain with me?

- So you'll give away your bangles? - I'm helpless, Shyamu.

Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?

I won't let such a thing happen.

Ballabh! - What is it?

Get me my harmonium. I'll go to the market today.

Take this, Kaviraj.

Hey! Have you no eyes?

I do have eyes... but I have no eyesight.

Your world is darkened for you.

When there is darkness outside, the light within brightens up.

Your smile betrays a volcano of desires.

I am an eye-specialist. Do come over tomorrow.

I'll examine your eyes. - My eyes?

Do examine his eyes. If he could see again, my life will be made!

Who are you? - I'm his companion.

I sing well, too.

You should hear me sing some time. You are sure to be bowled over.

Do bring him over tomorrow.

Sure... Good day, sir.

Good day, sir. - Good day.

I'll have to operate on your eyes.

And that will be possible only during winter.

How many more days for winter, sir?

8 months from now.

Aha! 8 months!

I feel as if you are possessed by someone's love.

You want to see this girl... Isn't it true, Kaviraj?

Love is the biggest goal of life.

If I'm not mistaken, you are surely in love with someone too.

How did you know?

In the process of bearing pain, I've learnt to recognize pain.

Your experience is not incorrect. Both of us are love-struck.

You love her with your eyes open. I worship her without even seeing.

There's little difference between your love and mine, sir.

Kaviraj, henceforth don't address me as 'sir'.

Since we are both in love, we are both friends.

I'll happy when you will be able to see her, like I do.

Is that possible?

As a friend, it'll be my duty to make it possible.

Don't shatter our hopes, God.

It's quite some time since brother went in.

Is it possible that he could have died?

Don't say such inauspicious things.

If anything happens to him, I'll kill you too.

You won't have to do that.

If brother dies, we will die of starvation anyway.

Has his eyesight been restored, doctor?

- You seem to be very impatient. - Don't ask me about that.

If he could regain his eyesight and see me just once, that'd be enough.

How is he related to you? - He... well...
