Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (Straight from the Heart)

Let the turban race begin!

Can't I pray wearing my American hat, brother?

In India, one wears a turban while praying.

Damn it! You don't know anything!

Sister-in-law, get him a wife who'll tie his turban and his pajama string.

What a fuss! They're being so childish.

It's a festival; they have every right to enjoy themselves today.

And I don't think it's right to be so strict.

I'm not being strict, I'm talking about discipline.

- That should apply to you too. - What do you mean?

It's Diwali today, and you're going to attend the music concert.

Once you start singing, people won't let you stop.

Is the turban okay?

Whenever you tie my turban, my every note sounds melodious.

Honestly, if I didn't have you, I'd have been a very bad singer.

You're lying.

- Come home soon today. - Why?

Your student is going to arrive from Italy today.

If he speaks Italian, how will we speak with him?

No, he can speak many languages. He speaks very good Hindi.

He's half-Indian.

I had asked Nandini to vacate her room for him, did she do it?

I did tell her, but it made her so angry that she left in a huff.

- Why should that make her angry? - Ask her.

I'll call her here. You convince her.

"Like a line drawn in the soil..."

"God has created something"

"It took a mixture of fire, air and water..."

"to make a picture so perfect"

"You laugh with such gay abandon"

"You are a wonder of nature"

"You win hearts; the sight of you..."

sets off storms and lightning"

"You are incomparable, O fair virgin..."

"In you is all nature. In you, it is"

"You are made of clay, no doubt. But innocence-personified are you"

"You're simplicity and innocence..."

"keeps you going"

"Like the breeze, you waft..."

"like the waters, you flow"

"Like a stream, you flow"

"The confluence of waters is your beauty"

"Like a raging fire..."

"is your passionate youth"

"Swaying as you walk..."

"you speed up and turn around..."

"kissing the soil..."

"You are mischievous"

"Like the wild spring; the gay dance..."

"You have piercing eyes"

"You have all the airs"

Where were you? - Still angry?

- Father was inquiring about you. - I'd gone to buy the lantern.

But where will you hang it, you have to vacate your room.

Come what may, I will not vacate my room.

I decorate my room so lovingly every Diwali...

not for a stranger to occupy it.

I'll never tolerate that! But why are you all after my room?

Because the mansion's best room has been given to you.

But don't worry, we'll all help you vacate it. Won't we?

And then, there is nothing in your room...

...except the yellow flowers, the lamp chandelier you like...

...and your little diary.

If you all tease me, I'll spoil this Rangoli.

Where were you, dear. You know I don't leave without seeing you.

Answer me. Oh! You are a statue?

But you can indicate with your eyes.

Did you vacate the room?

You're still angry.

Look, dear. He's our guest, and we must honor a guest.

Vacate the room before I get back, all right?

That's a pretty lantern. Let's go, Bhairon.

Just let him come! I'll make him so miserable, he'll leave in two days.

I will go to the mansion, father!

I haven't left mother, I'll never leave her.

You love being up there, don't you? Stay up!

Oh no, I don't need your help, I'll find my own way.

This way. But where?

No, I don't need your help, I'll ask these sands the way.

You're laughing? You're enjoying troubling your son, aren't you?

But get this clear, I'll go to the mansion, I'll learn music...

...I'll live in India, and I'll call mother here from Italy.

You slapped me?

It's the first time you've slapped me, but I'll still go.

Why shouldn't I? Who's over there?

O Italian, may you forget your way before you reach my room.

May you be robbed, may you lose your way, may you go hungry!

May the hot sands...

He fell in the water!

Welcome! What an entry! From Italy into the water!

How are you?

Let me introduce everybody. My younger brother, Nilesh.

My wife, Pushpa. - Hello!

This is Parul.

This is my brother, Tarun, who has returned from America.

And I'm Kamlesh.

The cheek he has! He pulled everyone in the water.

Oh no, he's so jovial, he's made everybody laugh.

That's only for now. He'll make everyone cry when he leaves.

And I'm Bhairon.

What have you done! You pushed the guest in the water?

Pardon them, this is not how we welcome a guest.

Come, the food is ready. I'll take you to your room.

He's a jovial guy, we'll get along very well.

A few days with us and he'll have adopted our ways.

What was the need to invite him here?

There are so many young girls in the house, what if he woos one of them?

Aunt, can't you say anything good about anybody?

Who is she, Vithal? - She's the mistress of the house.

She rules the roost, but she's very kind hearted.

Welcome! You've arrived on a very auspicious day, it's Diwali today.

How was the journey? Did you come swimming?

No, I fell in the water.

Vithal, show him to his room, and get the breakfast ready.

I'll just be back from the temple. - Yes, ma'am.

Auntie, can I say something?

Even my husband says so.

Where is my room?

What did you say? Just you wait!

The Italian is here!

Hi! How are you?

I think you're upset.

I'm Sameer, you can call me Sam.

What's your name?

Can I call you Nandu? - Only Nandini!

Your name is different. Does it mean Nandi, the bull?

It's not necessary for every name to have a meaning.

It's not necessary for you to look at me while lighting every candle.

First you look away. - How can I, your eyes hold me.

Why should they? - You'll burn your hands.

See! The effect of an evil eye. - You must have cast an evil eye.

I don't have evil eyes. - Then what eyes do you have?

Sharp, very sharp eyes, they can see your soul.

And what do they say? - The tangy lemon!

The tangy lemon? So sweet!

Shift your gaze or you'll loosen your grip on the rope.

Never mind. - The chandelier will fall.

Let it. - The glass will break.

Let it. - If it breaks, you will blink.

Let's see who blinks first.

If you keep looking at me, you'll fall in love with me.

Listen! You have, haven't you?

What are you all gossiping about?

He's stripping!

Come on, get in. - Wait!

Will you just keep laughing or tell me about it too?

It's nothing grandma, they've been laughing at the Italian.

What does he look like? - Tell her.

"A guest we have at home who talks so very sweetly"

"A handsome young man who rents mischief in the air"

"A great face, he's innocent looking"

"he wins over your heart"

"A body like marble, he's everyone's favorite"

"He's so very bitter and cunning"

"He stole my bed, my room, everything that belonged to me"

"I'm sure I'll give him the treatment too"

"Listen to me... I haven't been able to understand"

"Which bird are you talking about?"

"Beware, you're young; lest he casts a shadow on you"

"Don't get close to him; he'll touch you and you'll be afflicted"

"You will neither eat nor sleep; you will suffer heartburn"

"When he takes to his wings, the world will laugh at you"

You've come even here?!

I heard you laughing, so I came over.

This is a house, not a garden that you can walk in anywhere.

Come, I'll show you.

Grandma, I'm Sameer. I have come from Italy. How are you?

Sameer! A whiff of cool breeze.

Call him a snowstorm grandma. He'll leave everybody cold.

Come!

You are just what I'd thought you'd be. You have no manners.

You bathe in the open! You see girls and walk into their room!

If you want to live here, you'll have to follow the rules of this house

Or you'll be thrown out.

Why do you get so annoyed, Mandakini?

I'm not Mandakini, I'm Nandini. You've been a pain since you've come.

You've taken away my room, now you're wooing everybody with your sweet talk.

By tomorrow, you'll become father's pet.

Have you come here from Italy to learn music or to have fun?

You call yourself a singer? You look like a muscleman to me.

Here's your room.

Oh damn it! What a mess. This guy is too much!

When will this guy go back?!

What are you doing in my room? - This is my room, you idiot!

This is now my room and I'll roam around as I please in it.

I'd come to take my diary, you... - Don't look, I'm still in my towel.

May you get lost in the desert before you reach my room.

Don't you dare read my diary!

How can you read someone's diary? What a mess you've made of the room.

Don't you think this room looks more alive now.

Master has called the guest.

The master has called? - Go quickly!

Have you come here to bathe or to eat? Go wear your clothes.

He came in his towel.

He went in his towel, he'll get a good hiding!

It's good my towel didn't come lose.

Listen! - I went in my towel

We tried to stop you, but you didn't hear us.

Doesn't matter. Now, to please father, greet him in a special way.

Special way? - Show him how.
