Can I tell you something, Anna?
We need one more tube well,
Anna. In the northern side.
I have spoken to the overseer.
It will be done cheaply.
And Anna...
If this much is done, I swear...
our crop will double.
What do you say? Anna,
there is another thing.
We should do something
to sell the crop too.
The previous broker has expired.
His sons have taken
a job in Bangalore.
We have to fix some new
trustworthy broker.
What do you say?
Our crops will be the
best in the area.
I have even started fasting
every Thursday.
The Goddess Yellama should
give her blessings too.
Everything isn't done
by our actions.
What do you say?
Are you going back tomorrow?
- Yes.
Our land is very good. We
should look after it nicely.
What do you say?
Move... move...
- Snake... kill it...
No... no... Anna... don't kill it...
...It is guardian of
this prosperity.
Hey stays here. He guards
the land and the family.
He won't bite, he will
go away himself.
Let it go. Let it go.
Shiva! Shiva! Shiva!
Tenni... Tenni... Tenni...
bring some water.
Tell Bilkis that we will
have food quickly.
And keep some water
for me outside.
Father has told me
to bring the food.
Go, take it away quickly.
I know, Anna. You don't
believe in such things.
But I think that you should
hold a prayer here.
Tenni, give Anna
some more pulses.
We have made pulses
just as you like it.
When will Nanduanna and
Ummakka come here?
It is many days that
they haven't...
...come here for a vacation.
- Yes, they should come too.
All this is theirs, isn't it?
And current will come here too.
What do you say?
Tenni was just two years
old when Majhi died.
Since that time, Tenti
is everything for us.
She has brought up Tenni.
I know...
You never liked
me keeping Tenti.
Because she is of a lower caste.
But she is a very
big hearted woman.
And Anna...
The one who wishes support,
doesn't see any religion.
What do you say? Oh!
Once the current comes,
there will...
...be light here just like any
city. It won't take long now.
It will come any day now...
It will come... - Come here.
Sit down. I want to
tell you something.
Therefore, I have come here. I
have sold this land and house.
Anna... - Yes. I will be
retiring in some years.
And I wish to make a bungalow
in Bangalore.
You don't know how
much it takes...
...for a bungalow to
be built nowadays.
The new owner of this place
will have a soap factory here.
He will come here
someday next week.
Show him this place. And give
him the room's keys too.
And see, he shouldn't
have any trouble.
Factory here? What will
happen of the land, Anna?
Nothing is permanent, Vasu.
This land is sold.
The villagers will get
a job in the factory.
Other people will think of
settling a factory here too.
And then slowly, the whole
village will progress.
All this... all this...
on this land?
Anna, what will happen
of the crop?
Only the room will stay.
Everything else will be destroyed.
All my trees... all
my plantations...
How will the trees stay?
Once the factory...
...is settled here, all the
trees will be cut down.
But... you don't have
to be worried.
I will arrange for you to work
in some bank in Bangalore.
You will have a quarter
to stay too.
I have spoken to Mr. Shetty
of Canara bank too.
If you want to stay here, that
can be arranged too. Okay?
Why do you think so much?
Please sleep now.
How can I sleep? How
can I just sleep?
This... this is our mother.
Is it nothing for Anna?
Can Anna sell his mother such
guts? - Please... sleep. - No!
I will ask Anna. Why doesn't
he sell his mother?
The trees won't stay.
Nothing will stay.
Everything will be lost.
What will be left? The factory?
This whole land will go beneath
bricks and mortar.
This is rape. This is rape.
What do you say?
No... - These trees,
these green trees.
Everything will be ruined.
- This is our fate.
What can anyone do? This
isn't your land. - Yes.
This isn't my land.
This is Anna's land.
He can do whatever he wants to.
So what? Am I nothing here?
Do I not own anything here?
I have made all this
with such hard work.
My whole youth has been
invested on this.
This is my Lakshmi. This
is what has fed me.
Who will save it now?
Anna has done wrong. He
has sold his mother.
So you decide about yourself
quickly and tell me.
And see, he shouldn't
face any problems.
You start packing your
luggage right now.
And make your laborers
understand it.
They will get a job and the
salary will be more too.
Okay? Come on. Gopal.
Those old photographs.
Send them to Bangalore.
They shouldn't get spoilt.
Come, Gopal.
And tell me quickly
about yourself.
What should I tell you?
That girl whom I saw...
...on MG Road yesterday
what a gait she had!
Wow! I felt that I should
run after her and...
So someone's gait makes
you crazy? - Of course.
Your taste is going so low now.
Oh! That is where
the real fun is.
It must be for you.
- What? - I love Madhya Pradesh.
Madhya Pradesh?
Why not? Below the blouse
and over the sari.
Fantastic. - Nandu, which
Pradesh do you like?
We are just talking in the
air here for me and you.
Nandu's life is arranged
properly.
120 pounds of Miss Neeladevi.
- Correct.
Wow! We should have
a smoke on this one.
No. You know that I don't
like cigarettes.
There is bitterness on the
lips due to smoking.
I see, I see. I understand.
Here are my two rupees.
I am going.
So quickly?
- Yes.
My daddy is coming back
from the tour today...
...We have to have food
together. - Okay, okay.
Don't make such a
huge excuse. Go.
See, you.
He will go directly
to Neela now.
Mummy, holidays and picnics,
all are done with.
When are the factory
people going?
They will go within a few weeks.
Daddy, we should have
kept that place.
Oh! Come, come. That has been
thought about earlier.
It is necessary for us to have
a house in Bangalore, okay?
But what did Basua say?
He hasn't decided
anything as yet...
...when he will, he will tell me.
Ramu, you have started applying
chilly with closed eyes?
Take some care and apply it.
Mother, I am going on a
trip on the eighteenth.
I will take curds and
rice with me. - Okay. -
For eight to ten people.
Rama, don't forget it.
It should be ready at
five in the morning.
The eighteenth is a Friday,
isn't it? - Yes.
Where are you going, Anna?
You told Basua about
the photos...
...isn't it?
- Yes, I had told him.
Nandi. To hunt rabbits.
We will go in the morning
and come in the evening.
Madam... it is the new
moon's night on the eighteenth.
Oh Nandu, can't you
go on some other day.
Mother, everything has
been decided previously.
And some boys and girls
are coming from Mysore too.
But Nandu, there will be
prayers in the house on that day.
It is a very bad day, son.
And then going out on
that day is not good.
You go some other day.
- What nonsense!
Saroja, you believe in all
these things even today?
Even I have to go to
the board meeting that day.
Should I cancel that?
See, Nandu, this new moon
night and all is hogwash.
When I die, don't do
any rituals for me.
What are you saying? You
shouldn't say like this?
All this should be stopped.
Nandu, you go.
Nobody listens to me.
Nandu, if you are going,
go carefully.
The priory meeting is...
And that gentlemen...
wraps up the matter.
Well good that is settled.
You know... I think
that automatic...
...reams will make
the workers restless.
I think he is right.
He has got a point.
Why will that happen? We are
giving them the necessary...
...compensation which is
more according to the company.
We will see, even then
I have my suspicions.
It is all right that we
are giving them compensation.
But the matter
isn't about the money.
Don't see it just
according to the rules.
Look according to
the mankind too.
It isn't so easy in actuality.
People will be sacked.
There will be joblessness. There
will be so much restlessness.
We have so many
problems on our head.
True. It is quite true
you know... - Possible.
No, Mr. Rao. You don't
have to be so worried.
Whatever we have done
has been done legally.
We don't have to worry
about anything else.
Whatever the company is
doing is for the greater good.
I will repeat, nothing
like this will happen.
I hope you are right. - That's
all gentlemen. - Thank you.
Did you hear that?
It is so late, Nandu
hasn't come as yet.
I had told him not
to go, why did he go?
It is so late...
Nobody listens here at all.
Daddy. It is Mr Shenoy's call!
Hello? - Did you...
Yes... I am Chennabass... - What?
I will hit you a lot,
understood? - What?
Where, to Nandu?
How is Nandu? - Is
Nandu all right?
Hello! - What happened? - Hello!
Hello! - This was
about Nandu, isn't it?
I knew it. I knew
something bad will happen today.
Come on fast. Please come.
Daddy, daddy what happened?
Is brother hurt?
You go and give me
Vyankojirao's phone number.
Why don't you tell me?
Please keep silent.
Hello?
Mr. Vyankojirao...
will you please...
I am sorry, I am Chennabassapa.
Yes I am all right.
I need your help immediately.
My son has had an
accident on Nandi road.
Now. I couldn't find
out anything further.
The line was cut in between.
Yes. Please find it out quickly,
as soon as it is possible.
Vyankojirao will call
within five minutes.
At that time, we will
come to know everything.
I am going to change my
clothes. - We should go quickly.
I don't know in which state
my Nandu will be. - Mummy...
Everything will be all right,
don't worry, mummy.
See, who it is. Go and see.
Mother... who is it,
mother... - Why?
Brother has come.
Are you all right? - Yes. - Are
you hurt? - No, not at all.
But how did you
people come to know?
Mr. Shenoy called up. - Shenoy?
Who is Shenoy?
I don't know any Shenoy.
Nandu, how are you, son?
- I am all right, daddy.
Were you hurt or something?
Not at all, daddy.
I have told you so many times,
not to ride the bike so fast.
I wasn't riding fast.
Then what happened after all?
We were going, a pup came in
the middle all of a sudden.
I was stunned and I braked strongly.
We lost balance and fell down.
Mummy...
What happened, Umi? - Uma!
What happened, Uma? Yes?
Nandu, get some water.
Get some water.
Here you are. - Drink this.
Mummy... I am... - What?
- I am choking...
I don't... feel like...
What?
Nothing mother, all this
is about the spices.
She is having them a lot nowadays.
Give her some Eno,
she will be all right.
Something like this happened to
my friend too in the hostel once.
I am scared, you
please sleep with me.
Nandu, get my blanket and
pillow. I will sleep with Uma.
I will sleep next to you, okay?
You sleep, okay?
God knows what is
happening in this house today.
After so many days all of us
have gone out together like this.
People meet the...
...prime minister quickly too.
But you are ahead than him too.
You should praise me mother.
I took out such a pretext.
If Mr.
Chennabassapa's Ione son...
...escapes
unscathed from a accident...
...it certainly calls for a
celebration. Isn't it, daddy?
No. I don't want
such a pretext now.
You won't ride a
motor cycle at all now.
Mother, there is nothing
wrong if I ride the motor cycle.
And the motor cycle
is nothing wrong too.
It is too much now. Give
it to some scrap dealer now.
Nandu riding the
motorcycle is very important.
Nandu, you surely
ride the motorcycle.
Tomorrow. As soon
as it is all right.
Nobody listens to me at all.
You get worried
without any reason, Saroja.
Yes. As if you
aren't worried at all.
Who had taken sleeping
pills for the two nights?
They were necessary for me.
As if I don't know.
Uma, why are you silent?
You didn't eat anything too.
Is the food not good?
No mother, I don't
feel like eating it.
Daddy... - Hello.
What is it? Report?
English twenty
five out of hundred?
What is this? Such a bad report
this time? What is the matter?
I don't know, daddy.
How can that be possible?
There has to be some reason.
The girl who always
comes first in the class...
...how has she turned into
such a dunce all of a sudden?
I didn't leave my
studies at all, daddy.
But nowadays, I have
a pain in my eyes.
And my head is always so heavy.
Saroja... Saroja...
Saroja... Saroja...
What is it? - Saroja, did
you see this Umakka's report?
Uma... what is this?
Yes, that is what I
asked her right now too.
She says that she has some problem in
her eyes. And she has some headache too.
Before going to
Madras tomorrow...
Before going to Madras
tomorrow, I will tell Volga.
He should take Dr. Swami's
appointment as soon as possible.
Her cure should start
at the earliest.
Don't wait for me to return.
It seems that I
will take many days.
But her cure should
start tomorrow itself.
Umakka... you should have
told all this earlier.
Your position in the class
has been ruined uselessly now.
Okay, go now.
Here, sign it.
Uma... tell me
what is the matter?
You seem too lazy
since a couple of days.
What is the matter?
Are you angry with someone?
No mother, I am all right.
I just have a head ache.
You have a headache? Do
you have a stomach ache?
You have your periods at
proper intervals, isn't it?
Do you have any
problems with that?
No mummy. I don't
have anything like that.
I just feel lazy
since last week.
And... and I don't
remember anything properly.
Okay, we will go to the
doctor Swami tomorrow.
We will show you to him. All
the problems will go away, okay?
Go and sleep. Okay?
Yes... this way... -
Give me a pass...
Hey, that side.
- Yes, that side.
Come on, come on quickly.
Pass here. Pass here.
Oh no!
Teacher... teacher... teacher...
Are you all right
Uma...
Uma, . Give me the ball.
What happened?
What happened?
Uma... Uma...
It is Jaywanti's phone.
Get up quickly.
I will bring it tomorrow.
The geography book,
isn't it? Okay.
Surely. - Uma, has
your foot been wounded?
Show me the other leg.
What is this? This
seems like vermilion.
Shanta... Shanta...
What is it, mother?
Where is Shanta? - She has
gone to bring the dough.
When she comes back,
tell her to clean the place.
Uma, go and wash your feet.
What is it, mother? It is color.
It was in her feet and slippers.
It is such an inauspicious thing.
Color shouldn't be thrown down.
It is such a bad thing, Rama.
Mother, we should do something,
mother.
Hey, what is going on, Rama?
He is taking out the
inauspicious powers.
Nandu, you keep quiet. Not
everyone thinks well in this world.
Uma has grown up now. None
should have bad intentions on her.
Wow! This is very good. Rama, take
a couple of brooms over me too.
Even I have someone's
bad intentions on me.
Do it. Rama. Have it
go through it too.
No mother, not right now.
Come on, eat it quickly. - Please
mummy. - You are late for school.
Nandu? - Yes? - She will
eat Medu Vada, isn't it?
She will eat anything.
But daddy will come by
six o' clock, isn't it?
He will surely come
by six in the evening.
Whose likes and dislikes
are we speaking about?
Uma, Nandu is getting
his girlfriend home today.
What? And you
didn't even tell me?
What could I do, grandma?
When I told mother yesterday.
You went to the dancing classes.
And I returned very late in
the night, you had slept off.
You are arranging
things hiding it from me.
But brother,
this won't help you.
Till the time I don't say yes,
nothing will be finalized.
Surely, I know it. Without
my grandma's permission...
...how can I take a step
ahead in these matters?
See, brother, too much
of this grandma.
Don't call me grandma
in her presence, okay?
Otherwise, it will be very bad.
No. How can I
make such a mistake?
I will just say, meet her. She is
my great grand mother. - Brother!
Great grandma... Great grandma...
Brother... - great grandma...
- I will show you...
Brother... - great Grandma...
- I will show you.
Hey, what is this? - Brother...
- Great grandma...
He always stays
back there... - Wait...
Oh... oh... What is this?
- Tell me now! - Umakka.
Hey, what is the need
of eating so much now?
You will have to
eat at home too.
If you don't eat it,
it will be a problem.
Hey, don't do like this.
My God! Nandu,
you are so nervous.
I haven't taken anyone
before this to my house.
You are speaking
as if I have gone.
See, when anything happens for
the first time in anyone's life...
...the heart beats
always become faster.
Daddy's flight should
be on time, that's it.
But why is there such a tension?
We will go tomorrow,
cancel it today, okay? - No!
We have to go today. Don't cancel.
Why? Is it something
auspicious for you today?
No, what is the need of a
auspicious time for something good?
Today is a very nice day.
We have to go!
Really, Nandu. You
are very nervous.
Think about this. If my
hands tremble in your family's...
...presence if the tea or coffee
falls down, or the cup falls...
...down or if
something else happens...
...what will happen then, Nandu?
No... nothing like this will
happen. You will be super hit!
I and your father used to play
badminton when we were young.
Now, I do not play it.
Anyway, does your dad play it?
Yes. Every Sunday.
All of us play it.
Very good. Our Nandu.
I told him so much.
Take some
interest in some sport.
He never took any interest.
Lazy fellow.
But daddy, brother
plays very good carom.
I am surprised, how he is
so slim without any games.
He was very fat in
his childhood. - Fat.
Yes, he was very fat.
- Hey, when was I fat?
What else? You see his
previous photographs.
He is rolly polly
like a baton. - Really?
Come, I will
show you the photos.
Umi...
Nandu. Now I know why you bought
the badminton racket last month.
You are right. We are
tired of telling you.
At least you started
playing on her pretext.
No, mother. Even I was
thinking about it since many days.
Why not?
Yes, Saroja. What did the
doctor say about Uma's eyes?
Nothing. The doctor said
there is nothing wrong...
...with the eyes. They are perfect.
He has given some medicine
for the pain, that's it.
Hey... did you see
the fatso's photo?
Yes. I will leave now.
- So quickly?
Nandu, I have to
go home quickly.
I will leave now. - Yes.
What happened, Neelam? -
Nothing, Nandu, let me go.
But tell me what happened.
I will tell you later.
Let me go now.
eep coming!
This is correct.
What do you say? - What
can I say? What do you say?
Even I think that the
door should be this side.
What happened?
I will leave. If you need
something, call me. - Surely.
See, what has
happened to Umakka.
What happened? -
Please do something.
What happened,
what is she saying?
What is she saying? Uma? Uma!
That pig wretch Raka,
good for nothing.
He was ruined. You should
seen when the village court sat.
The girl gave birth to a
child within seven months.
All of the people
spit on that wretch.
He had set fire.
I will see to it.
Four years later,
his hands were rotten.
What? Rotten. What
else could it be?
And that witch ariamma.
She took the Patil's son in the sugar
cane fields that side of the river.
Patil removed his
son from the house.
But he troubled that
whore till she died.
Remove your hand, you wretch.
What has
happened to Uma, doctor?
Wait.
I have seen her for the first
time now. Please have a seat.
How is your relation with Uma?
What do you mean?
Mr. Chenbassapa, how is
your relation with your child?
Just like it is...
What do you mean by just
like it is? It can be anything.
You are very strict, or you
are very loving, or don't care.
Doctor, I love Uma very much.
I am never strict with her.
But I do not like useless love.
All the parents have
the same thoughts.
But what the children think
about you, that is more important.
Why? Did Uma say
anything like this?
No. And even if it is there,
she won't say it so easily.
Does Uma have
relations with any boy? - What?
Does Uma keep
relations with any boy?
Does she have any boyfriend?
No. - Are you sure? - Yes.
How can you be so sure?
Well, I feel so.
You don't know,
Mr. Chennbassapa...
...how wrong you
can be in this matter.
The matter which exists
in the mind...
...and which seems to
be has a lot of difference.
It is more important to know
the viewpoint of the patient.
Anyway.
Does anyone else in your
family have this mental disease?
No.
In your family?
Till the time I know, nobody.
Mr. Chenbassapa, see. Don't
try to hide anything from me.
Why will I hide, doctor.
Daddy...
- Come on, silent okay?
Daddy... what did
you the doctor say?
He didn't say
anything right now.
We will have to go a
couple of times more. - But...
Uma... what happened... Uma...
don't cry, Uma.!
Umi... what happened, mother?
Why are you crying, Umi?
What problems do
you have, tell me.
Brother... I will not go
to that doctor, brother.
Don't cry.
Tell me, why won't you go?
Brother... please don't take
to me that doctor ever again.
Never again.
But Umi, that
doctor is very good.
He will help you.
He is a very bad man.
I will not go to
him again, brother.
But Umi, what has happened?
Tell me.
What did the doctor do?
Tell us, Uma. - He...
Yes, Uma... she
isn't saying anything.
Umi... Umi... tell us.
What did he do?
Tell us?
He isn't a nice man.
He was asking me.
He was asking me...
He was... - Yes? Yes?
What was he asking?
He was asking everything.
I was so embarrassed.
He was asking all bad things.
He was asking god
knows what all about me.
He isn't a nice man, mummy.
Don't cry, Uma.
We will see what can
be done, don't cry.
Mummy, I will tolerate anything.
But I won't go to that doctor.
Brother...
Please do something.
Okay. You keep silent. I will
see. You won't go to that doctor.
Really?
Yes. I will ask
daddy right away.
Daddy, can't we show
Umi to some other doctor?
Some other doctor? - Yes. - Why?
This doctor has
troubled her a lot.
And she doesn't wish
to go to him again.
He has troubled her? - Yes.
His way is not correct. He has asked
her things and made her cry.
Don't speak like mad people. There
isn't anyone better than Dr. Dorai.
He has asked very
strange things from Umi.
And she is crying a lot.
Oh! He has asked
strange things from me too.
It is his way to
understand people.
But daddy, if some patient hates
his doctor, doesn't like him...
...then what is to be
gained out of that?
Understanding this is the
doctor's job. Not yours.
Dr. Dorai is a reputed doctor.
And he will be curing Uma. Okay?
Mummy, I will do
whatever you say.
Give me any
injection or any medicine.
But don't take me to
that doctor, mummy.
Yes, Uma. This will be done.
Umi. You don't worry.
We will try our best, that you won't
have to go to that doctor again.
Mother, I will look
after Umi from today.
Why Umi? You me
and this Bangalore.
We will move,
play, and eat a lot.
Okay? You forget that
anything has happened to you.
You have come again!
You killed me!
Go away!
Okay, Umi. Tell me, how do
six elephants sit in a car?
How?
What how? Tell me! You don't
know? Three ahead, three behind.
Brother... - What did I
do at that time? - When?
When I used to have those fits.
You... - Brother, please tell me.
You weren't yourself.
You used to shout in the nights.
You were in some strange state.
Do you not remember anything?
I remember very faintly.
It wasn't anything special.
Think that it wasn't anything.
Anna, did I really
speak like some crazy man?
No. That wasn't madness.
That wasn't anything. You
don't think about it at all.
You are just okay. Smile.
Hi, Satya! - Hi!
Hi, how are you people?
Hi, Nandu. How are you?
Didn't see you since many days.
Busy? - Yes.
Satya, this is my sister, Umi.
Umi. Satya. - Hello.
Hey, did you leave the glasses?
No. I have kept it
on the tray here.
That waiter took it away.
- Oh! Brother!
Sir... your glasses. - Thank you.
Is this an Austin? - Yes, it
is a 1935 model, do you like it?
It's lovely. It is very good.
Yes, I will take you
to a ride one day.
Really? - Of course. Definitely.
Did you get it? - Yes. I got
it. Okay, Satya, we will leave.
Will you come for a
movie tomorrow? - No...
Busy again? - Yes.
Don't forget the ride.
- No. I will call up.
See you. - See you. - Okay.
Bye! - Bye!
Nandu, you are so late.
- I saw a fantastic car.
Yes? - 1935 model. - Satya's
car. - Wonderful. Really super.
You freshen up.
We will have food.
I am very hungry. - No,
I am not hungry.
Me too.
You have had your
food outside again.
Not at all! Did we
eat outside? - No.
Come on, you liars!
Come on. We will bathe first. If we
like the food, we will eat it.
Hey, Nandya. Come. My body
is yearning for you. - Umi!
What are you doing?
Uma!
Come on! Lay down!
Lay down!
Come on!
You don't meddle. She
will be more excited.
Come on! Don't go! Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Uma! - Why do you call him?
Get lost, you old hag!
Uma! Let him go!
My youth is finished now.
Get lost, old man!
Silent... - Yours and
mine account is done now.
I have given you
so much happiness.
I want youth! Get aside!
Shameless!
Let me go! - Let
him go! - Sanju!
Let me go! - Uma...
Let me go!
You wretch, you
hit me! - Come on!
Let me go! - Come inside,
come inside.
Uma!
This is very bad,
Sarojamma. Very bad.
I have known everything
about this child since her birth.
And you didn't even tell me?
I knew that you'd
look towards him.
We thought it would be better
that less people know about it.
So I am being
counted among people.
I understood.
No... doctor...
Okay, it is embarrassing.
The person who knew everything...
...about the child has
come to know about it today.
Good night.
All this is okay,
doctor, what can be done now?
Can't say anything right now, no
reason has been found till now.
But there has to be some reason.
Why does she have these fits?
Like that, I can explain all the
antics of your daughter psychologically.
But treatment... Mr.
Chenbassapa, this isn't that easy.
This is a very slow process.
All right. But till when
can someone stay like this?
Her state is
worsening as the days pass.
After knowing some more, it is
possible I can tell you something.
If Uma's condition worsens.
Then... there is
another way for that.
Yes, tell me.
Shock. - Shock?
This reaction? See.
Don't be scared of this word.
It's quite common.
Shock just raises a
storm in the brain.
And all this
doesn't make any loss.
You don't even know. I have
cured thousands with this.
Mr. Chenbassappa...
You are educated.
Shock will be best
for Uma's condition.
Okay.
What happened? What
did the doctor say?
The doctor thinks... if Uma
will profit from any treatment...
...at this time, that
is a shock - Shock?
No... no... what will happen now?
What will happen now? If the doctor
says, it will have to be done.
What will happen now? If the doctor
says, it will be have to be done.
But Uma's condition is that bad.
See, the doctor knows
this better than us.
We will have to
leave this to the doctor.
Yes. We don't have to
worry about anything.
I will come back from
the meeting quickly.
Mother... should a Puri be
made of the dough or a Chapati?
What is the matter, mother?
Mother... if you cry like this,
what will happen to Umakka?
Mother... what happened?
What happened?
Did you find out
about the doctor?
Did daddy call up?
Daddy came here and left.
The doctor has told
Uma for shock treatment.
But Umi's
condition is not that bad.
Nandu, I cannot
understand anything.
If you don't feel bad,
can I tell you something?
Yes... yes... tell me... Rama.
Umakka doesn't have anything
that can be cured by a doctor.
What do you mean?
- I remember, my aunty's...
...daughter also had
this same thing.
The doctors couldn't do
anything. A god man saved her then.
Mother, we should
call a god man quickly.
Otherwise, it will be very late.
Otherwise, let me bring
a tantric lime please.
What kind of a lemon?
A lemon, which is kept
after reading hymns.
We will have to keep that lemon
below Umakka's bed for a night.
And that's it. If
Umakka has any bad...
...spirit on her the
lemon will rot by morning.
And what if she
doesn't have any bad spirit?
The lemon will
remain like all right.
See. There is nothing
to be worried about.
Umakka won't lose anything.
I feel... we should so
something or the other.
I wanted to meet
you since many days.
But I was busy in
something or the other.
You had some work
to do, isn't it?
Nobody has
understood me as you have.
And you know this yourself,
isn't it?
How is Uma? She is
all right, isn't it?
What is the matter, Nandu?
Why are you asking this?
How did this matter
come in your mind?
This means that surely,
there is something.
Tell me Nandu. I am not that
different from your family.
What has happened to Uma?
I know. There is
surely something amiss.
Tell me. How do you know it?
What happened when
you came to our house?
Nothing special. She
was something strange.
Tell me. She told you something.
It won't be worse
than what I have heard.
She even abused me.
I felt so bad that day that
Nandu... I couldn't say anything.
If I can do something
for Uma just tell me.
If I stop meeting
you for some days...
...will your love
for me decrease?
Nandu... I don't know
the boundaries of love.
But whatever love I have
within me, all that is for you.
Daddy... - Yes, Nandu?
I want to tell you something.
Okay, but please, quickly.
Is shock treatment
decided for Umi?
See, Nandu. I have
told you earlier too.
The doctors think that
if Uma's condition...
...worsens this
is better for her.
But isn't that
dangerous for her?
Nandu... as much as you
think for Uma's good...
...even I do think at
least that much, isn't it?
The biggest doctor of
the city is treating Uma.
And we have to
listen to his decisions.
But daddy... with this treatment, some
brain cells are useless for life.
Okay, is it so? Since when
have you known all this?
Dr. Lyengar told this to me.
Okay, so you are taking
people's suggestions about this.
I thought it necessary
to find out about this.
With this, even the prowess to
understand and think is affected.
The patient
becomes almost lifeless.
I think that you are
playing a drama without need.
The brain is affected, but
not forever. As you say.
Daddy... why don't you accept it?
You ask the doctor Dorai once again.
Even the doctors abroad
have stopped this treatment.
Okay. If this treatment is so
bad, what else should we do?
There has to be some way
out or the other. - Like?
There are spiritual powers too,
Even the T0antric and
hymnal powers are very strong.
At least, it doesn't...
...make the
patient lose anything.
I cannot believe that my son
is speaking like this to me.
Surely, you are
not in your sanity.
And you are telling me
to listen to such rubbish?
What is this shock treatment?
Even that is one kind of rubbish.
What does one know what the doctors
do? Just because the foreigners...
...have accepted it we
closed out eyes and accepted it.
How easily do you accept
the atom and it's strength?
Did the people of your
generation suspect this?
Just because these mantras
and hymns were written about...
...you cannot say that all
these are just make believe.
Has Dr. Lyengar
recommended this?
Daddy... please we will
not give Umi shocks.
You think about it once again.
Nandu, you have
wasted a lot of my time.
And my dear boy, this is not
my decision, it is Dr. Dorai's.
Daddy, I still feel
that this is not correct.
Why don't you think
something else for Umi?
What will happen to her?
Nandu, what do you think, I
don't care about Uma at all?
If I take her to the best doctor
in Bangalore, is it not for her?
You are not a kid now. You
should be smarter than this.
Daddy...
What is it?
God, please cure my Umi.
I will offer one apple and coconut,
one golden necklace and a Pitamber.
Please take away the
problems of my daughter.
If possible, give
all her problems to me.
Take my life.
But save my Uma...
Rama... the lemon about
which you were speaking...
...can you bring it? - Yes,
I can bring it.
When?
Whenever you say. If mother
gives me a holiday, today itself.
You know that no
harm will come to Umi?
No. I know it.
The only thing is. The
god man whom I know...
...he stays very
less in Bangalore.
It is possible, I will have
to go to some other god man.
Bring it surely, we will
keep it tonight. - Yes.
That Rupa from the school, she wishes
to learn the Bharatanatyam dance.
That cobbler? - Excuse me.
As the teacher
whether he will teach her.
I will ask him.
Vijaya was saying that Tarla
Dalals' book is very good.
You should get it.
There are good
preparations shown in it.
What is the need?
You don't eat anything.
Brother... - Yes? - Does
Neela know to cook food?
She is supposed
to be a good cook.
Yes, you will say it.
Uma... what is this? You
aren't eating anything.
No, mummy. I don't
feel like eating.
Come on, mummy
will make you eat it.
This is... open your mouth...
mummy's food.
There is no loss in this, is
it? - No. Quickly. Quickly.
Otherwise Umakka will come. We
will see it in the morning now.
Oh! It is eight thirty.
Umi... - I am having a bath,
brother... - Okay, nothing.
Rama...
Did you see the lemon? -
I was waiting for you.
Where is mother? - She
is having the prayer.
Come on!
The lemon isn't here.
See it carefully. - No. -
It isn't here?
Where is it?
Did mother take it?
Mother... mother... - What is it?
Did you take the lemon? - No.
The lemon is not there.
Shanta has even
cleaned the room.
She must have kept it
somewhere. Come on, let us ask her.
Shanta... Shanta... did
you clean Umakka's room?
Yes, mother. - Did you
find something there?
No, mother. - Below baby's bed.
- It is all right, Rama.
Oh God! What is all
this happening, Nandu?
What does this mean,
Rama? - What can I tell you?
Either it rots, or
just stays like that.
Disappearing...
I've never heard anything like
this. There is surely something.
Can you not bring another lemon?
It is very difficult. I have got
this one with great difficulty.
The god man was going out of
Bangalore yesterday night.
Oh! It is burnt!
God! What will be done now?
Oh! Take the queen!
- Where should I keep it?
It won't go.
- Should I keep it here?
Oh! You ruined everything!
Otherwise, two or three
coins would have gone.
This is called a coin.
See and play.
See. Like this.
It will go.
Didn't you see it? - It will go.
See, didn't I tell you?
Just one. - There is
just one left for you.
I have kept three for Nandu.
Nandu...
It won't go. - We will win, Umi.
They will win.
So what?
If one has gone, the
other is still left.
So what? - Two.
This one won't go. - This
one is very difficult. - See.
No... it won't go! It won't go!
No... it won't go! It won't go!
Wow! You are a champion.
That's it you are a champion.
It is very deep.
This well is very deep.
I can see her rotten face.
So many people are
dragging her out.
All of them are touching her.
Hey, Chenni is crying.
Someone make her silent!
Yes, Mahadevamma has
jumped into the well.
She was pregnant.
She was running
away from herself.
She committed suicide.
For whom? For you.
You forced her to run away.
She jumped into the
well because of you.
You are the reason for her.
Umi... Umi... what are you saying?
I know it. I know everything.
The fishes have
eaten up her fingers.
Take her away
from here, someone!
Oh! What a stink!
Her body is sodden now.
Was it stinking
when you touched her?
Her body was alive.
You put another
small life into it.
And that became a
pretext for her death.
Chenni is
shouting for her mother!
Take care of her! Take her
away from here, someone.
Tell me.
Wasn't her blood hot...
...when you were touching her?
Tell me, who played
with Basua's wife's youth?
Who took advantage of
Chenni's mother's helplessness?
Only you.
Tell me, where were you,
when she jumped into the well?
Why didn't you
come at that time?
When the people were
removing her sodden body.
Why didn't you
listen to that scary...
...shriek when she was dying?
See... see he has run away.
Umi... Umi... - See...
Chennabasapa has run away.
I will hit you.
Hey, did everything
actually happen like this?
Really mummy,
everything happened like this.
Daddy has come. Daddy,
you are late today?
Yes... I had...
So... Umakka...
Saroja... I want to
tell you something.
I don't want to
listen to anything.
Wait, Saroja. You
will have to listen.
No.
There is nothing left
to be said or heard.
And so we are not
in a position to...
We are not in a position to...
tell me the previous line.
We have already negotiated
with Ms Burma Steel company.
No, we will do it like this.
Ms Burma Steel
Company has already...
...appointed by us
as our suppliers...
...and therefore we regret, we
cannot entertain your offer.
Thanks, etc. Complete all that.
Anything else, sir?
Anything else, sir.
- No. That's all. That's all.
Get me Dr. Dorai on line.
Saroja... I have told Dr.
Dorai to give Uma the shocks.
Saroja... I want to
tell you something.
No, Saroja. Why so far away?
You will have to
listen to me today.
Sit down. See, Saroja.
Whatever Uma said that day...
...it was nothing like that.
It was a afternoon, a afternoon.
I was young at that time. When
I couldn't understand it properly.
I had come home in the holidays.
I was go to go
Germany the next day.
And I and her...
Mahadevamma. The
two of us slipped.
It was just one afternoon.
I don't know what
happened after that.
Nobody even told me anything.
Nobody knows this that she
committed suicide because of this.
I didn't know it till date.
Believe me. Saroja.
Only one afternoon?
You thought this, isn't it?
All men think the same.
Nobody understands what a
great thing it can be for a woman.
A woman is just something
to be played with, isn't it?
Whenever you wish, you had fun,
and then went ahead.
What happened to her...
...one never finds out.
All men are alike.
I thought, you are
different than others.
The greatness that you have,
nobody must be having it.
Because of you, a
woman committed suicide.
And you are saying, it
was just a afternoon?
When will you understand that others
must be having sadness and happiness.
Some others will have
happiness, not only you.
God knows what exists in
this stone heart for us!
Don't say like this, Saroja.
Om Shivay Namah... Om
Shivay Namah... Oh Shivay Namah...
Om Shivay Namah... - Mother...
Daddy has told the doctor
to give shocks to Munni.
How did you keep silent?
He understands better. - Oh God!
I am done with listening to this!
I have been hearing this from you
since the last twenty one years.
Daddy cannot be
right all the time!
You are young now. You
cannot understand it, Nandu.
I am not young. I can see that
my sister is being termed insane.
How can you keep silent?
You have always done
what daddy has wished.
Are you nothing except daddy?
Not even when your beloved
daughter is being strangulated?
Why don't you stop him? He
wishes to sacrifice Umi.
Because the
problem is onto him now.
Which father can do
like this? - Nandu!
You don't cross your limits.
I don't want to listen
to a word against him.
He has always
thought the best for us.
Whatever we are today, all
of it is because of him.
And therefore you
can forgive him.
May he do whatever he
wants or whatever he has done.
Mind what you say.
You aren't as grown up as
to speak on such matters.
And as it is, this matter
isn't for you to speak about.
I don't want to listen
to anything against him.
Nandu, none can be a better
husband and father than him.
Mother please,
don't be so blind.
I know, that you are
in more pain than me.
But you take
everyone's sorrow in your heart.
Even then, all I
want to know is...
Will you stop father
from doing this or not?
I should have
known this previously.
I tried a lot to stop him.
But he doesn't want to
move from his stance.
Okay,
I will not tell
anything to anyone.
I will think that Umi
is dead for me... - No!
I thought that you'd face
him for the apple of your eye.
Whatever is to happen,
let it happen.
I have separated myself
from all these matters.
Don't keep any
hope from me, please.
Should I call them?
Yes.
No, I will not go to the
hospital. They are killing her.
I will not be able to see that.
Come on, Nandu.
Don't be so dramatic.
This is a known cure
for such patients.
Which kind of patients? The ones
who are mad. Who lose their sanity!
Not for innocent
people like Umi.
But the doctors too
understand something, isn't it?
I know that all of us agree
to it. Is it really like that?
Can there be
something less in them too?
Are they not human beings?
Can they not err?
Don't ask so many
questions to yourself.
I think that I will go now.
I cannot do anything else.
I will not go.
They don't understand what
the result of this will be.
All of them have been
badly shocked for Umi.
Nandu, please, listen to me.
Without hope, then
even Umi won't exist.
The brightness on her
face will be wiped off.
The innocence in her eyes will die.
There will be a walking...
...and moving body.
There won't be any Umi.
Nandu, please don't drown in such
depths from which you can't come out!
I am there for you.
I will go now.
- Shall I come too? - No.

Why isn't he food laid out?
Rama! Quickly,
Umakka is sitting here.
Where has Anna gone?
He will come late today.
He comes late
almost everyday now.
I haven't seen him since a week.
Saroja, tell him to meet me.
He must have started
learning for the examinations.
Yes, it is possible.
Why hasn't Rama
come till now? Rama!
Mother...
What is it, Rama?
The doctor has said that
if you are all right,
you will be able to
go to school in a month.
Good. I am dying to go back.
I am missing school
and my friends a lot.
Where did Saroja go?
Rama! Saroja!
Wait here, I will
see what is going on.
What is happening? Why are you taking
so much time? What is the matter?
The food has rotten.
The food has rotten? - Yes.
It has turned into dough.
What insolence is this,
Rama? How did this happen?
What do you want to do?
I don't know anything.
It rotted itself.
Surely, you have done
something under intoxication.
You good for nothing!
No! No! Please believe me.
Mother. It rotted itself.
Rama, I never thought that
you'd do something like this.
You have become crazy.
No sir. I haven't done this.
I have been loyal to
you since fifteen years.
Do you think that I am lying?
There is something
inauspicious thing in this house.
If you don't do anything
right now, it will be very late.
Silent. What do you want to do?
You want to threaten me?
You want to scare me
with such an action?
This nonsense will
not work in my house.
Before anyone gets scared...
...you get lost from here.
What all have I not done for you?
And today I am getting to hear this?
I cannot stay here
for even a minute now.
Rama, listen, Rama.
Mother, I am telling you.
If anything is not done quickly...
...this house will be ruined.
Don't say like this, Rama. You
cannot leave this house and go.
Silent, Saroja. If he
wishes to go, let him go.
Yes. I am going,
I have been rewarded...
...thusly for me fifteen
years of loyalty.
Mother. I am going. I am
very sorry for the children.
Do something and
save this house, mother.
Rama... don't go... you stop him.
Why don't you understand?
It is too much, Saroja.
Complete his account and let him go.
And get Uma ready quickly.
We will eat outside.
Rama...
Rama, give me the breakfast.
Wait, I will bring it.
Mother...
What are you doing here?
Where did Rama go?
Rama has gone away. - What
do you mean he had gone away?
Rama has gone away from
this house. - What? Why?
Your daddy sacked him.
Daddy sacked him? Why?
The food was rotten.
The food was rotten?
It had turned into dung.
It had turned into dung?
How is that possible?
What did Rama say?
He said there is something
inauspicious in this house.
If something is not done
quickly, this house will be ruined.
This is very bad, mother.
You shouldn't have
let him go away.
I will search for him.
I know where someone
from his village resides.
But Nandu... your daddy...
- I don't care about him.
Mother, you need
Rama at this time.
Okay come on,
have your breakfast.
What have you
thought about the terrace?
If you like that better,
it will be done like that.
Surely, why not?
What do you say, Saroja?
Have you thought
anything about the flooring?
That has to be decided too.
- Saroja, what do you say?
Whatever you think is correct.
That Ramana's house's floor...
I will come sometime later,
I will move now.
Did you call the doctor?
Hello, is the doctor there?
He has already left?
So, what should be done now?
You must know it.
You always know what is to
be and what is not to be done.
Isn't it, mother?
Nandu, I don't like you
talking like this at all.
If you have something
in your mind, tell me.
Otherwise, keep quiet. -
What else do I do in this house?
I always just keep quiet.
Nandu...
Till when will someone keep quiet,
mother? - I don't like this at all!
Silent, Nandu. - No,
Saroja. Let him speak.
Yes, tell me, what do
you wish to say? Tell me.
We should call
some god man quickly.
You think that god men are
sitting for you in the roads.
That you will just bring
them up from the roadside.
Mr. Murti knows some godman.
He had told me the last time.
Why don't you ask him?
Okay.
Let's see.
Oh yes. Thank you.
Have you done the final plan?
I want to have this house
made up very quickly. - Yes.
What can I do? With
so many problems...
I will complete it in a
couple of days and show you.
Tell the contractor to be
ready to do the work by next week.
But please remember, all this should
be done under your supervision.
Please don't worry at all.
That will be done.
And yes... my wife
was telling me...
You believe in supernatural
things? Is this the truth?
It is nothing special, but I've
seen many such incidents in my life...
...which if you really see,
your hair stand at an end.
Can you get these people
easily? - Which people, sir?
The same... who read
mantras and hymns...
Why not? You should get them.
I know such a family,
which had these problems.
Some god man was helping them.
I will find it out from them.
Is it for your daughter?
I don't believe in all these things,
but my family is pressurizing me.
They want to
experiment with this.
Will you please
find it out for me?
Why not? I will go
and find out right now.
Maheshwari! Mahakali!
Maheshwari! Mahakali!
Maheshwari! Mahakali!
Maheshwari! Mahakali!
Maheshwari! Mahakali!
Maheshwari! Mahakali!
Maheshwari! Mahakali!
Such a big prayer.
We spent two
thousand five hundred.
But no difference
in Uma's health.
What have you decided to do now?
What will happen if
you call a wrong godman?
Rama knows a good god man.
Only he can help us now.
If only I get Rama somewhere.
I have told people to
look for him everywhere.
I will surely find him.
He was so good for him.
We have so many
problems without him.
Nandu, I don't like you
searching for him at all.
If he cooks so well and if
Saroja cannot work without him.
If he comes here and
apologizes, then he can stay here.
I don't want you to
follow him everywhere.
We should accept our mistake at this
time. We need him. Only he can help us.
Mr. Subramanium was
telling me about someone.
He is some who is very learned.
Many people regard him
as a very great person.
Should I call up and ask?
This means that you speak
to others about Uma? Okay.
If this is what everyone
wishes, I don't mind too.
Call him.
Please don't be dejected, sir.
The knowledge to drive away
ghosts and spirits is in my hands.
There is nothing in this
that Puttachary cannot do.
But... I want to see that
unfortunate girl first.
See, I want to
remind you once again.
If you cannot help us,
please let us be.
We will arrange
for something else.
No. You won't need to do
any other arrangement.
Your problem is very normal for
Puttachary. Please don't worry.
Mother. I have come now.
You please forget that
anything happened to your daughter,
Come.
Please come to me.
Come.
This small girl has gone
through grave injustice.
These bad spirits
always trap innocent girls.
Please don't worry,
come. Sit down.
Sit down.
She has been troubled a lot.
I will surely help her.
Mother, I want to ask
you something in private.
If he agrees...
Mother, if you don't feel bad,
can I ask you something?
Did you daughter
ever see any man?
She is a virgin, isn't it?
There I a prayer
only for virgin girls.
It has an effect quickly.
And there is another
prayer for married girls.
That takes time
to have an effect.
This is the prayer to
the Goddess, mother.
We will have to do it
carefully and with proper thought.
Your daughter is a virgin,
isn't it?
Oh God! Uma is a virgin
What is her age?
She is a kid!
Is it?
That is very good then.
You please don't worry now.
Leave everything to me.
I will tie a talisman on
her neck for till tomorrow.
Then we will hold the
big prayers tomorrow.
You please go inside now and
bring an incense stick. - Okay.
This is very good.
You don't worry now, sir.
Your daughter will
bloom just like before.
Don't worry now, child.
You will be as before.
Now, nobody will
trouble you, child.
Rama, it was good
that I found you.
I don't know where all I
have searched for you.
It is too late in the
night now. You go and sleep.
Meet mother in the morning tomorrow.
- Okay. - Hey, the door is open.
Mother...
Rama, mother is not here, she is not
in the bath too. See if she is outside.
Mother...
Mother... get up.
Umi is not here. She is not in the
bath too. The outside door is open.
Where did she go?
- Daddy! Daddy!
Daddy
Daddy, get up!
Uma!
Uma has disappeared, call
the police quickly. - Police?
Yes! - No, we
will search for her.
We will find her
somewhere or the other.
Uma is nowhere to be found!
I'll go to Puttacharya's house.
Maybe he can help us. Come on, Rama
I don't know in
which trouble she is!
I cannot understand anything.
Please do something quickly.
What can we do at this time?
Let Nandu search.
If he doesn't get her,
we will call the police. Wait!
You just sit here.
Don't do anything.
Uma will come. Uma
will come all by herself.
I am dying here, and you
are just saying, wait! Wait!
What will I get to hear
and what will I get to see.
What is it? - Is Puttachary
at home? I want to meet him.
He has gone out.
- Where has he gone?
I have to meet him urgently.
- Why do you want to meet him?
How are you concerned with that? We've
urgent work with him. Tell me quickly.
First you tell me what work you have
with him. Then I will tell you.
Hey, will you tell me, or
should I hit you? Tell me!
I don't know. Nobody knows it.
You don't know? Get up! - Hey,
what are you doing?
Tell me, where has he gone?
- What are you doing?
Leave me! Leave me!
Tell me... tell me...
- Wait... wait.
See, even if we strangle you,
nobody will find out.
I don't know. - Will you tell us or
not? - I don't know... - I'll tell you.
He is in the cemetery.
- Cemetery?
Old Ardas Road. Old
Ardas Road! Outside the city.
'Oh Master, give
me your presence.'
'Oh Master, give
me your presence.'
'Oh Master, give
me your presence.'
'Oh Master, give
me your presence.'
'Oh Master, give
me your presence.'
Om...
'Oh Master, give
me your presence.'
'Oh Master, give
me your presence.'
'Oh Master, give
me your presence.'
He is doing something voodoo.
It will be very bad. It will
have to be broken right away.
Umi... Umi...
You wretch. How dare you?
I will kill you!
Stay back!
Stay back! You cannot break
the worship of the goddess!
You will be ruined.
The goddess will
never forgive you.
I tell you, go away from here.
If something happens to my
sister, I will kill you!
Let her free!
She cannot be freed now. And
you cannot take her away too.
She will stay here.
You have become blind.
You will be ruined.
Go away from here.
I have waited for
fifteen years for this moment.
And you are breaking
it within a moment!
Your sister has all
the good talents...
...due to which the
Goddess has accepted to come.
You have angered the Goddess.
You will be ruined!
Go away from here!
Umakka...
Umakka.
The police is coming.
- Go away from here.
You have created a crime.
You will not be
able to run away.
You will have to be in jail.
Let her go quickly.
- Go away from here!
Something has happened to her,
she cannot be lifted.
She cannot be lifted now. The
goddess has gone inside her.
She has become a goddess
herself. She will ruin you.
Go away from here.
Go away from here!
Wretches like you
will never find nirvana.
You wretch, let my sister go!
You wretch! Umakka... Umakka...
Don't touch the talisman,
you will be turned into ashes!
Go away from here!
Umakka... Umakka...
Mother, save my
prayers from being broken!
You wretched sinner.
I tell you that will ruin you!
You have
committed a big mistake.
You have ruined the goddess
worship. You will be ruined.
No son will take
birth in your house.
Your family line will
be finished forever.
You have broken the last
moments of the worship.
This light will
extinguish forever.
It is a curse on you.
Mother... mother...
- Uma...
What happened to Uma?
What happened, Nandu? Come!
Oh God! Oh God! What is this?
Oh my child! My child!
Uma... - Umakka...
Uma... Umakka... Umakka...
Uma...
Do something for me.
I don't know what
has happened to me.
I won't live now, mummy.
Uma... - This
will never be cured.
I am choking, mother.
Let me die.
Tell the doctor. I
cannot stand it anymore.
Brother, please do
something for me.
How can see your
Umi being tortured?
Will nobody listen to me?
Daddy... see what has
happened to Mummy because of me.
But I know that I
won't live much longer.
All of this will be all right.
Mummy, what do I do? I
cannot understand it at all.
Uma, my child!
Daddy... please do something.
Please take some way out.
Sir... sir...
Sur... I have called the God man.
Rama, don't ever take this
word in this house ever.
I don't even want to see his face.
Tell him to go away from here.
But... but... how
can I? I know him.
He is a very good god man.
He will surely cure Umakka.
You at least come and see.
I had told Nandu not to do
this. All this is nonsense.
God knows what the
result of all this will be!
I have seen it a lot.
I will take Uma to the foreign
country, I will treat her there.
If she isn't cured, she is
my problem and my liability.
But I won't let this
wretch play with her life.
Tell him to go away
from here immediately
Please meet him once at least.
He is a very big Shastri.
He will surely cure Umakka.
Okay.
So you wish that I
should remove him myself?
Okay. Come on.
See, Rama has
called you by mistake.
We don't need any god man.
I am sorry that you
have been troubled.
You can go now.
Rama has not done anything wrong. But
you are about to commit a mistake.
I know. This house
needs my services.
I am taking my
daughter abroad for her cures.
I don't even believe in
these things, you can go.
I can understand your
mental condition nicely.
Rama has told me everything.
Why do you want to be so late,
due to which something defeats you?
I have taken twenty five
years to attain this knowledge.
Only to keep humans away
from yearning spirits.
I know it very well now.
Your family is diseased.
You are the son of this house?
Son, listen. Go on your roof.
You will find something on
the northern corner. Bring it.
Yes!
Rama!
Why son, did you get something?
Yes, this lime.
It is the grace of Lord Ganesha.
Son...
Look at all the
trees in your house...
...there will be something
in one of those trees.
Will you be able to search it?
- Yes, I will search it right away.
See, your house has the
roots of this problem.
It should be burnt.
Having no knowledge
and blind faith...
...both of these strengthen
the roots of this problem.
Come on, we will go out too.
I will go to Uma.
I got it!
Did you get it? - Yes, I got
it! - Got it! Come down quickly!
Yes, yes.
Lord Ganesha is very good.
Burning this will save
the life of your daughter.
But only this
will not be enough.
This spirit has been
sent by someone's power...
...to settle in the girl's body.
This spirit will be yearning,
it won't be good for anything.
Take this.
I will have to free this.
With which, your
daughter will be cured fully.
Ramkrishna, fire.
But all this here... -
Let him do it, daddy.
Please don't be worried.
After Umakka's bath in the
morning, all of come to my house.
I will have a prayer to have this
spirit removed. - But all this...
Please daddy, listen to what he says.
- Don't refuse, I will wait for you.
As soon as this is turned into smoke...
half of your problems will be cured.
Who are you?
Tell me, who are you?
I am the spirit of Mother Rudra.
Where do you stay?
Tibur.
Who has sent you here?
I asked you, who sent you here?
I cannot tell you that.
You will have to tell me.
- I won't tell you.
I order you.
Please don't worry. I can save
you. I can give you freedom.
But I am not that strong.
I cannot do anything alone.
Tell me. Tell me his name.
No! - Tell me! - No!
Don't force me!
Leave me! Let me go!
Till the time you don't tell
me the name, I won't let you go.
Tell me. Who sent you here?
Tell me!
Go, you wretch!
I won't tell you!
You good for nothing! Go
and scare someone else!
You will have to tell.
And you will
surely tell me. - No!
No... no... please
don't do this. I beg you.
Then tell me quickly. Quickly.
Tell me. Who sent you here?
A god man sent me here,
let me go.
But who told the
god man to do that?
I don't know. Nobody.
You are lying.
Tell me the truth.
Or else, I will punish
you very badly. Tell me!
No! No!
Basua from my
village had me sent.
Basua...
He had sent you to stay in
this virgin girl's body?
Yes. Let me go now.
You have troubled
us a lot till now.
I will hang you in some
deep well for a hundred years.
You will yearn a lot and
you will shriek a lot.
But nobody will listen to you.
No! No! Please
don't do like this.
I am very tired. Don't give
me such a strict punishment.
Why didn't you think
about this earlier?
Tell me!
I didn't know. He
caught me all of a sudden.
Nobody understood me.
When I lived in the village,
this was the same situation.
You'll have to repent for 100 years
to trouble an innocent girl - No!
I will stay as your slave.
I will do whatever you tell me!
Let me remain in this body. I
have found such peace in it.
I never got
anything before this.
I will not trouble anyone.
Let me stay here itself.
If you don't agree, you will have to
remain hanging in a blind and dark well.
And this punishment will be
worse than doing your master's work.
No! I am ready to go.
Let me go. Free me.
I don't want to go
back to my God man.
I don't want to hang
in a blind well too.
Save me. Free me!
Will you betray me? - No! -
I will help you.
I won't betray you.
How will we know
that you have left?
Outside... outside... a coconut
will fall outside from the tree.
Go... go for ever.
Don't come back ever.
Or else, you will
yearn for a hundred years.
You will be
cursed if you change.
Go. Nobody will be
able to stop you now. Go.
Go!
It has fallen!
Your problem has been solved.
Some yearning spirits
keep moving here and there.
People catch them with their
black magic and use them selfishly.
This isn't any thing new.
This is going on since ages.
No, please don't
bow your head to me.
All this is the grace
of Lord God Ganesha.
Bow to him.
I am a human just like you.
Your offerings...
No. You don't need to give
me any charity or anything.
I don't do all
this to earn wealth.
It is all the
grace of Lord Ganesha.
He is the one who does all this. He
is the father and he is the mother.
You pray to the
Lord Ganesha everyday.
What is the matter, Nandu?
I am going to Tipur.
Tipur? Why? What is there?
The people of the
factory have taken that place.
I know that.
Then, what are you
going there for?
I want to meet Basua.
I want to know why he
has done this with Umi.
Even I want to know that.
I have written a letter to him.
I have called him here.
I cannot believe that
he can do like this.
Why not? When you yourself
have done so much with him.
What do you wish to say?
You know it very well.
- Shut up, Nandu.
Basua doesn't have any
reason to do like this with me.
And if you want to relate
Mahadevamma's suicide to this...
...then he was as much as
at fault in that as I was.
Every man commits some
mistake or the other.
And then, Basua doesn't even
know this thing till today.
He must surely be knowing it.
Impossible. If he knew it, why would
be stay silent for so many days?
I don't know all this. But whatever it
is, you are the reason behind that.
This cannot be refused.
And Basua. I won't spare him.
He will have to be as
troubled as he has troubled us.
You don't worry
about that, Nandu.
If Basua has really done any
thing like this, I will punish him.
You don't need to
be trouble so much.
You are saying it so simply.
When we had to be in such
trouble due to your antics.
God knows there are
so many other things...
...which will be
coming in the clear now.
God knows how many sins you have
committed, which we'll have to answer.
Nandu...
Look at Umi. An innocent life.
She is burning due to your sins.
Mother, who never had a
frown on her face today...
...she is crying on
every small matter.
And me... I don't have any peace.
Stop it, Nandu.
You can think about
till the last day.
I have to take my
peace from that wretch.
I will go right now. - Nandu...
What is it, son?
Saroja, tell him something.
He is saying that he is going to
Tipur to take revenge from Basua.
No... no... Nandu. You can't
leave me and go anywhere.
Son, you and Uma are my life.
If you both are all right. I
will have a pretext to live.
I will go mother. I have
sworn to teach Basua a lesson.
We will have to
pay for his crimes.
Basua will have to pay for
his crimes himself. - Nandu...
It is all right. Let him go.
When he cools down...
Do you know Basua?
- No. I don't.
This
Chennabasapa's estate, isn't it?
Yes. But the Patil
company has taken it now.
Does Basua stay here? - Basua?
Yes. But one minute.
Hey, Mahadeva!
Do you know Basua?
Yes, yes, but he is dead.
He is dead? - Yes.
Do you know it very well
that he is dead? - Yes! - When?
He died a few days back.
Where are his household members?
I don't know.
They must be in the village.
Are you Nanduanna? - Yes.
Let my motorcycle be here.
I will come right away.
It isn't me.
It isn't me.
All this is God's grace.
He does everything.
He is the one who
does everything.
Whenever you need me,
I will come.
Don't worry at all. - Yes sir.
I will come, okay? - Yes,
sir. I will leave now.
Okay.
Give me a packet of cigarettes.
- Which one?
That one.
Child, give a
packet of cigarettes.
How much?
Eighty paise. - Give me matches
too. - Give him matches too.
Greetings, sir.
Greetings. - With your help,
Gangua has become all right.
Gangua. Take his blessings.
Take this.
Come on, Rachya, you
take his blessings too.
Here... here...
Here, take this. Give it to them?
- Yes. I will give it to them surely.
Bachhu. You don't have any
troubles in maths, do you?
No. I don't.
When are your examinations?
- Next month.
Study well, okay? - Okay.
You should come first. - Yes.
Come quickly. Come on. - What
happened? - It has happened again!
Only you can save now. -
It has happened again?
Okay, I will come
right away. - She will die!
Come on quickly. - Don't worry,
I will come right away.
Look after the shop, okay? - Yes.
- I will come right away. - Come on!
Yes, doctor. Yes
she seems all right.
No, nothing since two days.
Okay, I will tell.
Okay. Okay.
Saroja...
Saroja...
Saroja... some people are coming
from Calcutta day after tomorrow.
I have to call them over for dinner.
I was thinking to skirt it.
But now I think that
isn't the matter, isn't it?
Make something special.
How many people will come?
It will be some four or five
people. - What has to be made?
Well, something typically
south Indian... Just like...
Uma...
Mummy, this lizard came upon me!
I was so scared.
Mummy, it was just a
cockroach and nothing else.
What did I know...
...that all of you
would be so scared.
Really daddy. I am all right.
I had almost stopped breathing.
God has listened to me. He
has made everything all right.
Uma!
Son... son...
Who are you, son?
Tell me son, who are you?
Son, what is your name?
Tell me, son.
You are sitting
here since afternoon?
Tell me, son, what is your name?
I am Nandesh. I have
come from Bangalore.
Whose son are you?
I am Chennabassapa's son.
Oh! You are
Siddhvirappa's grandson.
Your grandfather
was a very big man.
He had a very big heart. He did many
things for all of us in the village.
But... what are you doing here?
Come with me.
No, let me be here. - Son...
son... what is your problem?
Come with me. Come to my house,
don't sit here.
How can I let you
sit here all alone?
No... - Come on. - No. - Come on.
No, you will have to come.
Come on, son. Come on.
Come, come on.
What happened? Is
everything all right?
Yes, she is alive as yet.
I have silenced her.
But God knows... till when
she will remain like this.
I have put her
under strict bindings.
Now we will see what happens.
Come on.
You please come.
Please come. Come on, son.
Come...
Listen now.
Sir... sir...
No... no.
This is very difficult for me.
I cannot do it.
- Why can't you do it? At least try!
This is very important for me.
Please do it for my sake. - No...
- Or at least for my grandfather.
Please don't say like this.
If I could have done it, I
would certainly have done it.
I have never done
anything like this till today.
I don't believe that
I can do like this.
If this isn't possible, I
cannot go back to Bangalore.
I will have to search
for a well somewhere here.
I have promised to speak to him.
If that promise is broken, you
will be responsible for my death.
Please don't say like
this son. Please don't say.
And at this time... life
has no meaning for me.
What I was living, wasn't life.
It was a dream,
which has broken now.
The ones whom I thought to be my
own, seem to be strangers to me now.
No son... -
Everything has changed.
A man cannot face another man!
He traps an innocent
person because of him!
What is all this?
I have never known
such principles!
See, if you won't help me, I'm leaving
to search for a well for myself.
No... please don't say like this.
I will try.
To see, this matter is very
difficult and dangerous too.
But... your grandfather
has been so good to me.
At least... I will have
to do this much for him.
Does anyone of Basua's
family live in this village?
He has a daughter, Chenni.
She lives in this village,
I don't know her house.
All right. All right.
If it is done, it is done.
All else, it is your fate.
Come on. Come on son.
Come with me. Come.
Don't be scared.
This is some spirit.
Yes, these will guard you.
You will hear many
voices like these.
But don't listen to them.
These will be real, or
they will be your thoughts.
Don't listen to them.
Don't worry.
Run away! - They are calling me.
Don't listen to them.
Do what I say.
Okay.
Run! Hit him! Run!
Run! Hit him! Hit him!
Run! Run!
Run! Catch him!
Run! Hit him! Run!
Run! Hit him! Hit him!
Is there anyone in this
cemetery, who can help us?
Listen to this carefully.
This is what I want.
Take me to Basua's coffin.
I want Basua!
Mahadevi's husband
and Chenni's father!
Give it to me. Give it to me.
Give it to me!
Tie that cloth on your eyes.
Tie it!
Tie it!
Tie it!
Come on!
Hey, he has come! He has come!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Hit! Hit!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on!
Bring it. Give it to me quickly.
This is a true binding. I have
fulfilled all the desires too.
You cannot do anything now.
You will have to come now, Basua.
Basua...
Chenni is waiting for you.
Now, I will have
to follow these two.
Chenni... Chenni...
Chenni. Open the door.
Who is it? - Is Chenni
at home? - Who are you?
Go out, go away
from here. - Chenni...
What are you doing? - Chenni...
Leave her, let her go.
Basua... Basua...
Basua...
Leave me. Leave me.
Let me go. Let me go.
Let me go! Leave me. Let me go!
Leave me! Let me go!
Are you that same Basua who sent a
spirit for Chennabuappa's daughter?
Yes... yes I am that same Basua.
Let me go. Let me go.
You won't be
allowed to go like this.
Till the time you
don't fulfill our whims.
Why have you called me?
Let me go! Let me go!
You will have to
answer what we ask you.
Tell me, what is it?
Tell me! I am
tired of your life.
I am tired of this world too.
I am restless. I
am very restless.
Leave me alone.
Do you know him? - Yes...
Yes, he is Chennabassapa's son.
Why has he come here?
He has come to meet you. -
Tell him to go away from here.
I don't want to see his face.
I am not their servant.
I am nobody now.
He wants to know. Why did you do
like this to this these people?
Why? I won't answer anything.
I am nobody. Go away from here.
I am not related to you at all.
Go away. Go away.
Tell him to answer
just one thing...
...why did he trouble
a poor girl like this?
She didn't hurt him in anyway.
She... she didn't hurt me?
Who was the one who
made me an orphan?
Who was the one who
raped my mother's soil?
And... and she was sold!
Daddy had sold it. And
that land wasn't your's too.
I had... I had worked on
with my blood and sweat.
I... I loved it...
I loved it just like
someone would love his mother.
It... it was everything
for me. One day... one day...
...he came and he
snatched it away.
To... to sell it.
My... my mother... my Lakshmi...
the one who fed me.
But he was ready to
take your responsibility.
You want to know further?
Then listen...
He soiled my wife.
I... I came to know about it.
After I died...
And I am very happy.
Whatever I did... I did
it good! I did it good!
That was just a mistake.
A mistake.
Just a mistake?
A big man can
soil someone's wife.
He can make her fall
into the well of death.
If he can ruin
someone's hard work and work.
And... and he can
sell that earth...
And... and a small man...
he has to keep silent.
Why! Why! Why!
That was just a piece of land, that's
it. And nothing was done willfully.
That was our land, you
were just looking after it.
Tell him... tell him
to go away from here.
Tell him to go away from here.
What does he know how
someone can love his mother.
I... I loved my mother a lot.
I used to sleep in her lap.
I used to sleep...
I used to sleep in her lap.
Okay. That land was everything
for you, and daddy sold it.
Then why did you take
it's revenge from my sister?
Why did you make
that young girl yearn?
Tell me, you wretch!
How... how could I
make your father yearn?
This... this is the fact.
The real yearning is when
someone close to us yearns.
Do I not know it?
I gave the god man
whatever money he wanted.
I wanted his house to be ruined.
I wanted him to see his
daughter die in yearn,
And I... I am happy.
You rascal! - Hold him!
How did you dare to play
with my sister's life?
Let me go!
How did you play with a
innocent child's life.
You ruined the
happiness of our house.
I won't spare you!
I won't spare you!
How could you do this?
How could you play with
the innocent child's life?
