Water (Jal)

Water...

Bakka, water...

Bakka!

Kesar...

Hey, hey.. Ae Kesar!

Don't give up Kesar. I can feel the dampness

We will find water. Get up Kesar

Don't strain your mind. This heat is driving you mad

Don't give up Kesar. We will find water

You don't believe me!

How do I believe you, Bakka?

Your tongue is also parched

This child inside me needs water

Get water for my child, Bakka

I, Bakka- the God of water

I give water to all

O Goddess Meledi! Have mercy.. Give me water!

We live in the wilderness of Kutch

The vast silence and emptiness of the desert

Sends shivers in the body

Faraway on the horizon, a sand storm is brewing

Sometimes, saline water from the sea...

...makes its way into the desert

Creating a lake of saline water in the midst of the desert

'Flamingo' – a beautiful, migratory bird

That flies thousands of miles from home, to come here

Perhaps, this land feels like home to them

People living in the desert know how to survive

But these birds are our guests

I am Bakka. People call me 'God of Water'

I live in this desert

And quench everyone's thirst

Jal , Jal, Jal

We pray to you O God...

Give us water, Give us life

At last! This is where water is hiding..

Chief! We will find water here

You found water? - Yeah

We found water! Long live Bakka!

C'mon say it...

Kheema Bhai! He has found water. Now say, 'long live Bakka'!

Nonsense, Where's water?

If there is any..go jump in it and die!

This Rakla has gone mad...

Bakka.. There is no water in the desert!

This burning desert can only take away life..

..doesn't give life

Bakka..

You have done this many times..

..beating drums in the name of finding water

Tell us if there is no water

Chief! Swear on you...

..we will definitely find water here

C'mon now! Say long live Bakka!

Long live Bakka!

Madam, photo...

This is called ‘Flamingo city'

Wow! It's unbelievable. Here are the long legged Flamingos

Only English, madam No German, No Russian.

We call them 'Surkhab' madam

The long, pink-legged 'Surkhab'

So many! - Noga?

Ma'am, where?

What the ...!

Madam, wait. Listen. It's dangerous...

..there are snakes out here

Can't we stay here? - No, no, madam

They will run - Run?

Oh..you mean fly - Yes, same thing

First actually they run, and then they fly

Actually, water is a big problem in the desert

Sea water comes and goes..

..and rain water comes & goes because the sand sucks, like...

Suck... I mean go - Where?

Where suck? Inside the earth

So, no water

So, now there's water, but later no water

So, the water problem

Madam! Water..

You weirdo! Why are you scaring her?

Her legs look colorful through this glass

See madam, this is your area

Here we are

This is your area & your tent

Camels are here, birds are here

Water is here

You are the queen of this area, madam

Why are you ogling at her, you idiots?

Haven't you seen a white chick before..

..in those foreign CDs Have shown you twice..

Porn film! They showed it all!

Ae Bakka!

Who's there? - Chief!

You have reached the bottom of the earth. Where's water?

We'll definitely find water

The earthquake in Gujarat...

...has messed up the entire system of this place

But we'll surely find water..

Just got to dig deeper

She's here to make a film!

With us?

Are you sure? - Yeah. I swear!

Great! Did you tell anyone else? - No

..Just him

Sit!

Don't utter a word to anyone else - Okay

Is she really from those foreign CDs? - Yes

Great! All men in the village will be ready to drop their pants..

Wait till your wife Lajo finds out...

Don't tell anyone...

Doesn't take much to create a ruckus in this village

We will just take Bakka along. He's our friend!

Ae Bakka, get here. Quick!

We'll spend the night in the desert

Hurry up...

A madam from those foreign CDs has come here!- Really?

I will get your film made with her

Rakla, I am not interested

Get my film made with Kesar. I love her

Have you gone nuts? You will get us all screwed

Stop dreaming about a girl from the enemy village!!

Stop being horny about Kesar

Forget local..

Come; sample the foreign stuff with us

I heard she wears a red bra

Looks like a fresh rose in the dry desert

No, Rakla

If I don't find water this time..

..the chief will make me wear a bra & parade me through the village

Come if you wish or go to hell

You don't tell anybody

Ae Manga, Ae Parnami, Ae Rakla

You are off to meet that ‘foreign chick' without telling me

Who the hell...told him?

Sorry brother.

He is so old Won't be able to do anything

Ask your mother, who is old! Take me there..

..I will show what I can do

Vela Bhai! Didn't you just turn grandfather? - Yes

Got a grandson and still drooling over young chicks!

So what! Am young at heart -Fine, come

Tell me now if anybody else knows

No, no I swear - Okay. Let's go then

Rakla Bhai! I just got married

Introduce me to the ‘foreign chick' for sure

Why?

My wife is off to her parents I need some entertainment

So, use your hands for entertainment

Shut your eyes - And miss the sight! No!

Practice at home first, then think of riding a wild camel

Wow! She is pink like a flamingo

Vela Bhai, come out of your fantasies

It's time for you to go up.... not ‘up and down'. Bloody old man!

Madam...

Earlier these flamingos...

...would come here in large numbers

Now, the number has gone down

About 50 miles from here they still come in huge flocks

Do you want to see? They are all alive

Yeah, lots of them. That way..

Yeah! On the other side of the salt water lake

He's right. When I was younger...

...there were thousands of flamingo flocks coming here

Shut up all of you! Madam is worried

Madam, I know little English

Earlier, many tourists came here...

...they used to pay 100 rupees a day

...I will show you lots of flamingos

Madam

Your servant is here

Ram Khiladi... - Why are you bothering madam?

Ram Khiladi... - Stay away

Look, madam needs laborers

She'll pay 4 Euro per person. Equals 250 rupees!

Go and get laborers from the village.

Why four, madam said five?

Who knows English... me or you?

She said four - No, she showed five fingers

She might show fifty fingers..

...when I say four, it means four

Anyways, there are just four fingers in a hand

Look... 1,2,3,4... finish

And what's this? - Thumb.. what else?

She is saying work for 4 Euros else there are many other villages

..we will get as many laborers as we want

Okay? Go... - Then why did madam say 5?

Madam, didn't you say five? - Yes, five. 5 Euros

Won't let me earn a little... Bastards!

Everyone will get 5 Euro. Okay?

Now, go and get everyone

You fix the deal now!

See...

Foreign money has its special sound

Don't pull, it'll tear

Chief!

This foreign money equals 300 rupees

White madam said she'll pay 300 per day to everybody

We can buy water from the enemy village with the money

You want to be friends with the enemy village?

Drink their water?
