Speaker A

Come in, Mr. Munshi Ram... Ram... Ram. Please sit, I'll call the lady. How are you, Mr. Munshi?

00:58

Speaker A

How are you, elder daughter-in-law? Thank God. Last year, I asked you for a small task, remember?

01:07

Speaker A

No. I've grown old, daughter-in-law. Please remind me, what did you say? I had requested wild honey, and you said with confidence.

01:21

Speaker A

Hey, why are you getting upset, daughter-in-law?

01:31

Speaker A

Kasturi Lal cannot risk his tradition by going to his daughter's house empty-handed. Here, look at this.

01:39

Speaker A

God! I knew there would be something in that bag of yours. Thank you, thank you.

01:45

Speaker A

It's made of glass. I didn't put it on the bullock cart lest it should break.

01:57

Speaker A

How was the harvest this year? I am still alive to ask this question, daughter-in-law.

02:03

Speaker A

When I die, you can fulfill this wish of yours by asking Mr. Munshi for the accounts.

02:20

Speaker A

Don't you dare overstep your bounds while I'm alive. No mother-in-law, that's enough. Go enjoy the honey.

02:31

Speaker A

How are you, Mr. Munshi? I am very well in your service, lady. The harvest has been collected, and I have brought its accounts and grain.

02:48

Speaker A

Let's begin. Oh, where has Subhan gone? Subhan, my dear. Tell me, Uncle Balvinder, is everything alright?

03:01

Speaker A

You frequently visit the mansion. Ask the lady if we should unload the grain. Why, man? What's the hurry? Be patient.

03:08

Speaker A

Mr. Munshi will sit there with the ledgers open for three hours. Only after that, the grain will be unloaded, and then we'll get food.

03:15

Speaker A

If the grain is unloaded now, we'll get food sooner. By the way, I'm amazed.

03:21

Speaker A

The amount you eat in a day, probably an elephant eats in a whole week.

03:25

Speaker A

It's incredible. I don't know what kind of bottomless pit you have in your stomach.

03:50

Speaker A

You'll thank me for this. I will go inside. The total expenses come to 22,600 rupees, lady. How did they come to that? Please explain.

03:57

Speaker A

The income is shrinking, and the expenses are increasing day by day. Everything is recorded.

04:08

Speaker A

Every single thing is written in detail, lady. Read it out. Greetings, lady. Greetings. May you live long.

04:17

Speaker A

How is Badruddin's health now? Yes, much better now. Mr. Munshi, shall I have the grain unloaded first?

04:28

Speaker A

Well, let me present the accounts first. Why are you in such a hurry? Actually, Shamsoo is hungry.

04:37

Speaker A

Well, brother, I have only seen two major problems in India. One is the Khilafat Movement, and the other is this Shamsoo's hunger.

04:44

Speaker A

God knows what special concoction the midwife gave him; nothing ever stays in the man's stomach.

04:53

Speaker A

Go, son, Kariman is in the kitchen. Everyone, eat your food quickly. Hey lady, let's unload the grain first.

05:00

Speaker A

Hey, the grain will be unloaded too. It's not running away. Go, child. Mr. Munshi won't eat.

05:08

Speaker A

His religion would be corrupted. Right, Mr. Munshi? No, no, lady, it's nothing like that.

05:20

Speaker A

I have always lived off what you provided. The details of the expenses are as follows: for six months, six laborers dug the big well.

05:58

Speaker A

In the digging of this well... Why have you come after so many days? Have you gone mad?

06:13

Speaker A

Someone will see. Now, someone has to be around to see. Mother? Mother is busy going through the accounts with Mr. Munshi.

06:21

Speaker A

Elder sister-in-law, after being scolded by mother, is sadly locked in her room. And elder brother?

06:34

Speaker A

Elder brother has gone to Patna for a Congress rally. And younger sister-in-law? Younger sister-in-law has gone to meet her foreign-returned brother.

06:43

Speaker A

And Brother Mazhar? Brother Mazhar is busy with his office work. He has come from Delhi on a two-day leave.

07:05

Speaker A

Kariman aunt is on the roof. And father? Father, listening to 'I find no peace without my beloved,' is busy preparing for his revelries.

07:53

Speaker A

When everyone is so busy, then where are you off to? How are you? My condition is one of despair.

08:19

Speaker A

You promised me that you would not suffer despair because of me. You are not as naive as you pretend to be. We’ve been miserable without each other ever since our childhood.

08:32

Speaker A

Do you remember how I used to pick ripe mangoes while sitting on uncle Badru’s shoulders?

08:59

Speaker A

And you would keep walking behind me and keep walking, thinking, why on earth is she sitting on my father's shoulders? Tell me one thing.

09:07

Speaker A

Why were you so jealous of me? Not at all. I was never jealous of you.

09:32

Speaker A

You were jealous. And you have burned me too. Do you remember? Once, to take revenge for your jealousy, you placed a burning coal on my palm.

10:13

Speaker A

Those are all childhood matters, Salma. For God's sake, forget it. I can't forget. Look at this.

10:19

Speaker A

To this day, I have kept the mark of your jealousy adorned on my palm.

10:44

Speaker A

This... What have you done, Salma? Your memory was fading. I placed a coal on it again to make it fresh.

10:58

Speaker A

I am a servant. Let me stay within my limits. Shoes for the feet are not adorned on the head.

11:18

Speaker A

Your palm is scarred because of me. Save your own honor from being stained. Do me this favor.

11:29

Speaker A

It seems father has turned off his gramophone and is preparing to come out. Go.

13:14

Speaker A

Save your dignity. It's good that you've come. Sit. Understand the accounts from Mr. Munshi.

13:25

Speaker A

How are you, Mr. Munshi? By God's grace, younger daughter-in-law. How are you? You can see how happy she looks after meeting her foreign-returned brother.

13:31

Speaker A

May God protect her from the evil eye. Mother, my brother's bride has sent gifts for you.

13:39

Speaker A

He got married too? Yes, yes, he has married a foreign lady. Aah... She fell madly in love with him at first sight.

13:46

Speaker A

Really? She is white as milk and speaks fluent English. English? She is very beautiful.

13:54

Speaker A

No matter how beautiful she is, she can never be like you. Okay, leave it. Look what gift she has sent.

14:00

Speaker A

I'll look at it later at my leisure. First, you understand the accounts from Mr. Munshi.

14:09

Speaker A

If you learn, it will be useful. After I die, you are the one who has to manage this estate.

14:26

Speaker A

Continue, Mr. Munshi. This year, all your three sons, Mr. Azhar, Mr. Zafar, and Mr. Mazhar, have each received a share of 56,000 rupees each.

14:39

Speaker A

And your share comes to a sum of 80,300 rupees, lady. Mr. Munshi! Ram Ram, Master.

14:50

Speaker A

All distributed among everyone? By the way, I've heard that we had a good harvest this time.

15:00

Speaker A

Yes, master. The rains came on time, and it was God's grace. Your share was 73,000 rupees.

15:16

Speaker A

Akhtari madam and Firdous madam received 20,000 each. Mr. Munshi! I have tolerated their bad behavior and foul language.

15:24

Speaker A

But I will not tolerate the foulness of your tongue. Akhtari and Firdous are not 'madams'.

15:36

Speaker A

They are immoral women. By calling them 'Madams', neither should you corrupt your tongue nor insult me.

15:53

Speaker A

You stop. In the future, their names should not be written in the ledgers. Lest after I die, those two scoundrels use these papers as proof to claim that they are 'Madams' too.

16:08

Speaker A

My children's rights will be unjustly taken. Erase their names right now. Madam, if I erase their names, how will I know who was paid how much?

16:24

Speaker A

This way, all my accounts will become incorrect, lady. Nothing will be incorrect. Cross out Akhtari's name and write 'Immoral Woman 1' and erase Firdous's name and write 'Immoral Woman Number Two'.

16:30

Speaker A

This way, your accounts will remain correct, and they will be kept in their place.

16:43

Speaker A

Isn't that right, dear husband? I'm not saying anything wrong, am I? You... are crossing all limits of humanity and morality.

16:53

Speaker A

Now, what's the point of arguing with you? The elders have said that one should not argue when the husband is leaving the house.

17:05

Speaker A

Go, both of them must be waiting for you. Lest they can't bear your separation and run away with someone else.

17:20

Speaker A

Go. Mr. Munshi, please send the grain to both those houses today as well. Yes, master, as you command.

17:30

Speaker A

Don't you worry. I will have it weighed in front of my own eyes before sending it.

17:37

Speaker A

Subhan son, after you are done eating, have the scales set up in the courtyard.

18:47

Speaker A

We have to take out the 'legitimate' right of my husband's illegitimate children. Do you get a two-day leave from Delhi just to turn the house into an office too?

18:56

Speaker A

Look, brother has brought expensive fabric for a suit for you from London. Please look.

19:06

Speaker A

What's happening in the courtyard? Mr. Munshi has come with the harvest accounts. Brother was saying if you get it stitched by a tailor in Delhi or Calcutta...

19:15

Speaker A

It would be b

19:26

Speaker A

Then you'll see, the English officers will be forced to respect you for no reason.

19:34

Speaker A

To get myself respected.... I don't need some rag brought from London You do one thing, have a sari made for yourself from this cloth.

19:46

Speaker A

Maybe it will add something to your honor. Are you joking or are you being sarcastic?

19:54

Speaker A

I am not a sycophant like your brother, who would wear the Englishman's clothes and also marry an engish woman God knows what asweeperess woman he has picked up from England.

20:09

Speaker A

He didn't just 'pick her up'. He has performed a proper Islamic marriage with her.

20:15

Speaker A

An Englishwoman and an Islamic marriage? I am telling the truth. Praise be to God, he first converted her to Islam and then married her.

20:26

Speaker A

That's what your brother says, right? Who knows if he even married her or not.

20:43

Speaker A

My brother is not like your father. Who, while being married to your mother.... He kept two other women Okay, spit out your anger.

21:06

Speaker A

Just look what an expensive gift has come for you from London. It's all done, lady.

21:36

Speaker A

Well done. Have the scales put back inside. Mr. Munshi, send five bags of wheat to each of those two houses.

21:48

Speaker A

Yes, very well, lady. Mother dear, people give examples that the lady takes care of people without keeping accounts.

22:04

Speaker A

She gives them more than their due. But when it comes to Akhtari and Firdous, why does the mansion's courtyard turn into a merchant's shop?

22:14

Speaker A

So that I can protect the rights of my own children. We won't become beggars if a a few kilos more grain is given, Mother As elders say... what is consumed by one's own doesn't count, but what is consumed by outsiders can empty treasures.

22:29

Speaker A

Why Mr. Munshi, am I wrong? Oh no, lady, you are absolutely right. When you have children, then you will know that how parents fight for their children's rights.

22:46

Speaker A

Your wretched father is squandering money on courtesans. And your poor mother is saving every straw.

23:01

Speaker A

Dear Mother, Mr. Munshi is one of the family. But for God's sake, don't say such things.

23:09

Speaker A

If things said in the room start being discussed in the courtyard, no one can stop them from reaching the streets and neighborhoods.

23:14

Speaker A

You... You should protect father's honor. The whole area is aware of his character. What all will you keep secret?

23:27

Speaker A

Everyone knows he has three illegitimate children from two unmarried women. In the homes of the noble, bitter truths are met with silence, mother.

23:39

Speaker A

Not of the noble. Secrets are kept in the homes of hypocrites. Neither am I a hypocrite, nor should you preach such things to me.

24:35

Speaker A

Have you lost your mind? Yes I have. If someone sees us, it won't affect me.

24:51

Speaker A

You will be disgraced. I’ve as it is lost everything. I am only and only yours.

25:16

Speaker A

Okay Move now, I have to go. Take me with you too. Where should I take you?

25:26

Speaker A

With you, to your home. I've had enough here. I don't want to live here anymore.

25:40

Speaker A

Okay fine. I will take you. But later, let me go now. First promise me.

25:54

Speaker A

That you will come back. I will come. But later. Promise? Promise Let me go.

26:16

Speaker A

No, I won't let you go at all. Because I want you to be with me forever and ever.

26:29

Speaker A

Just like this, keep holding my hand. Shameless girl. Come here! I won't spare you, I won't leave you alive.

27:10

Speaker A

Come here! come here I say come here Come here! Munshi Yes my lady. Beat this traitor with shoes and throw him of the house along with his entire family.

27:50

Speaker A

What on earth happened, my lady? Don't ask question. Do as I said. Subhan Go Where are you going?

28:52

Speaker A

Shameless girls like you only find a place in such dark corners. If you do this again and If I don"t bury you alive in this corner, then know that your mother was not legitimate.

29:37

Speaker A

Elder sister-in-law, as soon as I moved the cloth from Salma's back to apply turmeric paste...

29:43

Speaker A

I was stunned. There were marks on her back as if someone had whipped her.

29:48

Speaker A

But we need to find out why mother put her in this state. That's what we can't figure out, what this crazy girl has done.

29:56

Speaker A

She must have been insolent with mother. Praise to God, she has a very sharp tongue, One doesn't get beaten like you're describing just for being insolent.

30:06

Speaker A

Does Mr. Mazhar know? How would he know? He wasn't even at home when all this happened.

30:12

Speaker A

And I was inside at that time too. Otherwise, I would have definitely stopped mother's hand.

30:17

Speaker A

Good heavens, who has the guts to stop her hand or tongue Even father is afraid of her.

30:23

Speaker A

Father's own deeds are not right. That's why he is submissive to her. Besides, a person's good character earns them respect and status.

30:35

Speaker A

Now, I am also in front of you. Mother has never said anything to me.

30:48

Speaker A

A rope always breaks at its weakest point, and lightning always strikes the donkey. You are from a rich, good, and big family, she is submissive to you and suppresses me, the poor one.

31:01

Speaker A

Oh, sister-in-law, this is not the time for your daily whining. You go to Salma now. She trusts you more.

31:11

Speaker A

She will tell you the whole truth. I have no interest in interfering in anyone's affairs.

31:17

Speaker A

Why should I get myself insulted by getting involved in a mother-daughter fight? These small quarrels happen in this house all the time.

31:22

Speaker A

One's back isn't flayed over small matters, sister-in-law. Whatever it is, instead of prying, we should console Salma.

31:30

Speaker A

Hey, where are you going? To Salma. To pry in the name of consoling? Where are you going, elder daughter-in-law?

32:21

Speaker A

I'm taking food for Salma, mother-in-law. Why? Why are you being so concerned about Salma today?

32:31

Speaker A

She hasn't eaten anything since yesterday. If you had shown the same concern for your husband, he wouldn't be wandering around in rallies and processions today.

32:41

Speaker A

I try to stop him a lot, mother-in-law, but God knows what magic that Congress has cast on him.

32:46

Speaker A

He doesn't listen to me. I'll tell you why he doesn't stay at home. It's because you can't give him peace.

32:56

Speaker A

Instead of taking care of him, you take care of others. You wake up at night to interfere in others' affairs.

33:03

Speaker A

I have never done that, mother-in-law. Don't lie. You are doing the same thing right now.

33:12

Speaker A

There is no need to feed Salma instead of my Azhar. You can't take care of your husband, and you're off to put balm on your sister-in-law's wounds.

33:24

Speaker A

Forgive me, mother-in-law. My husband only goes to Congress meetings. Why did you stop? Speak. Speak.

33:35

Speaker A

You are misunderstanding. I am only asking if you would permit me to give food to Salma.

33:40

Speaker A

There is no permission. This is all happening because of you. If you hadn't gone out with the flag of the Khilafat Movement...

34:13

Speaker A

...I wouldn't have had to see this day. Where are you? What is your condition?

34:23

Speaker A

Don't you care about your mother at all? You were my only honorable son. The other three are engrossed in their own world.

34:39

Speaker A

Azhar has no time away from Congress. Zafar and Mazhar don't get leave from their offices.

34:51

Speaker A

Akhtari and Firdous won't leave your father alone. So why did you leave me and go, my dear son?

35:03

Speaker A

Whom all can I take care of alone? Salma’s youth is in the hands of the servants.

35:16

Speaker A

Before Najma also follows in her footsteps. You come back, my dear son. Don't give your mother so much pain.

35:43

Speaker A

Yes. Speak. I wanted to have a conversation. Have your conversations where you spend your nights.

35:58

Speaker A

I am tired of these talks. You won't even ask me to come inside? I consider you an outsider.

36:17

Speaker A

You have lost the right to come inside. Go. Play the gramophone.
