"Oh, brave soldier!"

"Oh, brave soldier!"

"I bow to you a thousand times over, brave soldier."

"I bow to you a thousand times over, brave soldier."

"I bow to you a thousand times over, brave soldier."

"My deliverer, how should I sing your praises?"

"I bow to you a thousand times over, brave soldier."

"A thousand times over."

"You dedicate yourself to the battle heart and soul."

"Your concentration is always absolute."

"You're always a winner, many times over."

"I bow to you a thousand times over, brave soldier."

"A thousand.."

"A thousand times over."

"A thousand times over."

"A thousand times over."

There he is! How was today's show, Vrindavan?

It was good. It was a full house.

They got cries for an encore four times.

Then when will you have an encore with us? - Not today.

Here we are. - Mother! Mother, we're here! - So, you have come.

You're so late. You did come directly home, didn't you?

Where else could I go?

You had sent these two guards with me, after all.

Mother, the people weren't ready to let father go.

Really! So you both stayed awake?

Sister Bansi was dozing off. - Hey! When?

We had a small and happy family.

Father, mother, sister Maan and me.

By "sister Maan", you mean..

Mansi. The heart's desire. 'Mansi'.

And 'Bansi'? How did you get this name?

Actually, my name isn't Bansi, Doctor.

What then? - It's 'Bansidhar'. - What?

When I was going to be born..

..my mother and father were hoping for a son.

My father had even chosen a name for his son.

The music-loving God, playing the flute, 'Bansidhar' (Lord Krishna).

But unfortunately, I was born instead of a son.

So, the name remained.

Thank God, it became 'Bansi' from 'Bansidhar'.

"When the armlet comes off.."

Wow! This is what we call rhythm.

I'm a singer's wife. I can at least catch this much rhythm.

Have this. - I want the whole piece.

Then wait. - Mother, it's very hot.

Hey, you took the bigger piece! - So what? I'm elder.

Aunt! Aunt! - Yes, Pushpa?

May Mansi come to my place after school?

Why? Any special reason?

Today is my birthday. - Happy birthday. Sit.

I still have to visit many houses.

At least have some sweets. - You will send Mansi, won't you?

Only sister Maan? - Only my classmates are coming, you see.

Mansi, do come. - No one ever invites me.

Father!

Father! Father! Mother! Look what I got! Look!

Did they give all the kids toys for her birthday?

Not everyone. Only I got the doll. - Really.

I sang a song. It was very nice. Everyone was delighted.

Well done, dear.

By the way, Mansi, you shouldn't praise yourself.

But her nose is rather flat.

I was going to give you this doll.

But if you don't like it, then let it be. I'll keep it.

No, I like it! I like it! This doll is very pretty.

But, Sister Maan, what of you? - My doll is right here.

Father, I'll learn music. - Me too! Me too!

Yes, why not? You're my children, after all.

How can you escape from music?

Teach us with the harmonium! - Yes! - Hey, listen!

They won't listen now. Careful, Mansi.

Hey, carry it. - Keep it here.

Music is not just confined to the music box.

It's present everywhere like air.

First, learn to listen to music. Music is everywhere.

Listen to the music of the earth, the sky, the trees and the leaves.

Well? Did you understand? Bansi?

"Those who have to hear do."

"They hear music..

..in everything."

"Their heartbeat and breath contain a tune."

"Their life is a song."

"It's hidden in this wind, and thunders among the clouds."

"Music is there in the skylark's singing.."

"..as well as in the crow's harsh noise."

"Those who have to hear do."

"They hear music in everything."

"Their heartbeat and breath contain a tune."

"Their life is a song."

"The vessel containing lentils speaks."

"If it's stoked, it fires up!"

"It asks us to bring it to a boil, and then temper it."

"Vessels in the kitchen make a noise."

"Vessels in the kitchen make a noise."

"Drops of water drip. Rainfall has its own music."

"Children run while making a noise. A boat moves on water."

"The canals make a noise too."

"Those who have to hear do. They hear music in everything."

"As the monsoon begins, the grass spreads.."

"..like a deep green sea. A frog hidden in it says.."

"The sun sets behind a tree."

"The village is immersed in dusk."

"The cattle return to their sheds."

"They make a soft noise."

"The sun sets behind a tree."

Hey, why are you pulling the blanket? - I'm feeling cold.

Then go and get another blanket from mother.

Come, let's go and sleep with mother and father. - Go on.

Now tell me. You were going to give me some good news, weren't you?

Mansi and Bansi are going to get a brother.

What? What are you saying?

Is it confirmed? - Yes, it is.

But how do you know that it's going to be a boy?

A woman feels it within her.

I've got special information that it's going to be a boy.

You had got this information last time too.

And we had Bansi. One more girl. A problem for us.

Just see, it'll surely be a boy this time.

May things turn out as happily as you say.

But this time, we won't decide the name before the child is born.

Sister Maan, you know what we'll do if it's a boy?

Girls, every year in Maharashtra..

..a music competition is organised with great grandeur..

..in which a girl gets a prize. The title of 'music princess'.

This is considered to be a great honour.

For the first time, Nimbapur has got the chance..

..of taking part in this competition.

So, who wants to take part in this competition?

Raise your hands.

Me. - Hey, Bansi! - Four.. - Raise your hand!

Very good.

"My beloved has come home."

"My beloved has come home."

"Everyone gets together to sing."

"Everyone gets together to sing."

"Sing.."

"Sing.."

"Everyone gets together to sing."

"My beloved has come home."

"My beloved has come home."

"Everyone gets together to sing."

"My beloved.."

Why is your hand so cold? Are you afraid?

No. - Will you be able to sing? All our teachers will be there.

Yes, I'll sing.

Look, don't embarrass yourself in front of everyone.

If someone laughs, ignore them.

Why would anyone laugh? - We can't trust girls.

They just need an excuse.

Well done, well done. Go and sit.

Next year, come better prepared.

Now, Bansi Vrindavan.

Bansi, what will you sing?

Yes, Bansi. What will you sing? Will you sing?

Why? - Teacher, she's shy. She got scared. She won't sing.

What's there to be scared of? Come, dear.

Okay. Mansi. Mansi Vrindavan. - Yes! Yes, that's me, Teacher!

Tea.

Bansi, has Mansi not come?

Nowadays, she's not permitted to stay awake at night.

Why? - On Saturday, she's going to Mumbai..

..to participate in the 'music princess' competition.

Great! You won't go, Bansi?

She'll go, but next year. Right, dear?

Vrindavan! Vrindavan! - Yes, what's the matter?

Revati has sent me. - Why?

Mansi has fever. She even vomited a few times.

Fever? She was fine in the evening.

What's the temperature? - It's very high.

Bapu, give this at home. Tell them I'll be there soon.

Don't wait too long. - I'll come as soon as the curtains fall.

She has jaundice. - What? Jaundice?

There's no need to worry. You just have to be careful.

But, Physician, she has to go to Mumbai on Saturday.

Are you crazy, Vrindavan?

Mumbai? She mustn't step out of the room for 15 days.

This is too much. - It's very unfortunate.

This is a terrible blow God has dealt us! - Indeed.

Do you see that corner, Vrindavan?

We had made a special place for the 'music princess' trophy.

I was working so hard on Mansi. - Really?

Yes.. I mean, no one can match you.

He practises so much with Mansi and Bansi.

Can't Bansi sing? - Bansi hasn't given the audition.

There must be many other girls..

..in the school who can sing, Prof. Pendekar.

They all sing tunelessly. Only Bansi is capable.

Bansi! Bansi! - But without the audition..

We'll audition her. - Yes.

After all, there is only Prof. Pendekar..

..and I in the committee.

Please agree, Vrindavan. - Yes.

If not Mansi, then your other daughter will get the trophy. - Yes.

First, let's ask Bansi whether she'll sing or not.

Yes, Father! I'll sing! I'll sing!

Mother, may I have a bath? - Not today, dear. Tomorrow.

Be careful!

Sister Maan! Mother! Mother! - What is it?

Look, I got the prize!
