Gangoobai

Lord...

Are you thirsty?

I'm coming

Here you go

Mother's going out

She'll be back tonight

Reach for the sun

Hold on to the earth

And I'll be back to water you

I'm leaving now

When I come back, watch out

You'll be astonished!

Gangoo...

Are you ready?

I've been ready for years, Malan!

Careful with your purse

It's not Matheran, you know

There's all kinds of riff-raff on the trains

Watch out!

And it's easy to fall asleep on the train

Make sure you don't, though

If you do, someone's sure to steal your purse

And there go four years' hard-earned savings!

Mumbai's full of thieves, too

I hear that they look just like gentlemen

God gave you eyes

Keep them open all the time!

Enough, Malan, stop!

I'm afraid as it is

and you're scaring me even more!

I've bought my tickets

I'll be careful with my purse

and I'll be back tonight

Now enough, Malan, please!

'What are they doing? '

Brother...

Does this bus go to Warden Road?

No, no

Cross the road

and catch No. 26

My God.

Hello... Its just gone...

Warden Road...

There's a big saree shop...

Ardra. Do you know it?

Sure, hop in

Hang on, what's the fare?

I won't cheat you

The fare's per the meter

Get in, quick

Hurry up, auntie

Taxi...

Are you from out of town?

How did you know?

It shows on your face

Are you here on work?

No...

Then?

Here is my move. - What a silly move.

What a stupid move, Nisha, darling. - Checkmate.

Move the horse instead of the bishop.

Really. Give him one.

Easy. - Let's play another game.

Isn't it Darya's birthday today?

You remembered?

You always remember,

eh, Gangoo?

Mother, how do I look?

Wow! Beautiful.

How do I look?

Now, even you like it, right? I told you it will look nice.

Very pretty.

You liked it, isn't it?

Lord...

How lovely!

How beautiful!

Isn't it?

I had a time convincing her dad!

Well, it does cost a bomb!

But it's an heirloom!

Darya will pass it on to her children later

It's an original Ardra creation!

That's why I paid 45,000 rupees for it!

45,000!

Here, Gangoo, throw these away, please

Come on, children, let's go.

Okay, darling.

I will see you tonight.

I love you.

Bye, bye. Yeah.

Bai...

Buy some chicken this afternoon

You're making biryani for dinner

Hey you!

Where are you?

Are you dreaming?

Do you have dreams too?

Did you hear what I said?

Get some chicken and make the biryani!

Understood?

Or are you still lost in your own world?

Yes, I understand

Damn that horse!

That's 5,000 bucks gone!

Oh Lord!

Forty five thousand?

For a single saree?

Have you lost your mind?

Even Kareena Kapoor doesn't have a saree like this!

Do you think you're Kareena Kapoor now?

What will you do with it?

Where will you wear such an expensive saree to?

Who will you show it off to?

Or...

are you planning to marry again at this age?

You're not having an affair, are you, Gangoobai?

Who is it? Who?

No-one!

Just me, Malan

and I want it!

But where will you get 45,000 rupees

for a single saree, Gangoobai?

That's the thing...

Oh gosh!

What's...

going on in my head.

Enough. Now enough.

2,000

56 rupees

and 75 paise

You're up early, Gangoobai!

Here, have it. Have it.

Here's your wage, auntie

I've come down from 400 to 180! - I'll give you 150

Nobody will do it for 150, sir! - Let's go, then

Alright, alright help me with it

Easy, easy

Careful.

Set it down

Let's go

Come, lady.

180, okay?

Here Gangoo, your wage and your festival bonus

And please throw this away

When do you return?

In a month's time

Okay, bye, bye.

Thank you.

Bye.

Hey, wait, I am coming.

How much have you saved?

Seventeen thousand rupees

Seventeen thousand!

And you live like a beggar?

You don't eat

Your clothes are old and worn

I told you

I want my gara saree

That's why you won't quit working for Santripti

No, she's not that bad

Her dreams have been destroyed

That's why she's so bitter

That bitter?

Only you can take her!

Men are swine

Once they get what they want, they look right through you

You're too trusting, memsaab

You think they come to Matheran to work?

They come here to play

Business they do in Mumbai

You think you know better than me?

You think I don't know?

Have you ever been to Mumbai?

I've lived there three whole years

I know all about it

...what happens there...

...and how it happens...

Get back to work!

Betting!

Gangoobai, surely somebody has cast a spell on you!

Listen, Malan, listen!

For the last two years, for more than two years,

I've been saving up for my gara

I've saved 25,000 so far

If I win this race, I'll have 50,000

I can buy my gara tomorrow!

Understand?

And if you don't?

Zero. Zilch!

Why wouldn't I win?

My heart says will!

Hurry, Malan!

Number one, Salman...

How much will you bet, Gangoo?

500?

What's the point in betting 500?

I'm betting all 25,000

25,000!

Have you gone insane?

If you lose, it's all gone
