Comrades!
Shontu has been kidnapped!
Hey, be careful!
You can't shut me up by covering my face with this black cloth!
If you're going to kill me, kill me!
But remember,
communists never die!
Dad's perfume?
You had me kidnapped?
Son, you never come home.
Dad, that's... Bille, you?
Heard you're fighting Babbu Bhaiya's men in the university elections?
Are you planning on dying?
Dad, that doesn't mean anything!
And what were you saying?
"Communists never die"?
-You want to become a communist? -Dad, listen to me!
You fool, shut up!
These are your London tickets! You are flying tonight.
You will have to leave tonight.
I am not going anywhere.
I'm telling you, I won't go anywhere!
-Take him away! -No.
Bille, don't even try!
-Shut up! -Bille, no!
-Dad, please! -Shut up and sit down.
I am a comrade!
I will fight till my last breath!
Capitalism has consumed one more comrade.
Our comrade Sukant Singh's nomination has been canceled
because he has moved to London.
So, the treasurer of our party, Mamta Roy Chaudhary,
is now our presidential candidate.
She will now say a few words.
By definition, Communism is a structure that entails that all wealth be communal,
and any person can obtain their share as per their eligibility and need.
This ideology is against the politics of reservation...
Now, look at this, Angad.
Pretty girls like her have started contesting elections.
It'll be so much fun to debate with them.
Don't even think about debating with her.
She's read more books than you know words.
-Understood? Pay attention.
A hundred things to you
I wanted for us to perform a street play.
Is anyone amongst you interested in a street play?
OK. Then let's start preparations for a great play.
How long before this is ready?
It'll be ready by night.
Good. Please finish it quickly.
Hey, Angad. Come.
Any news from Shontu in London?
No.
-What's this, a new poster? -Yes.
We don't have a large amount of funds like Babbu Bhaiya's party does.
-So, we'll have to be a little artistic. -No, this is quite nice and simple.
But if you want to make it better, add one more line...
"She will bring about a new society
as if she were a beardless Karl Marx."
And since Mamta's face is already on the poster, remove her name.
-Remove her name? -Yes.
Let people find out for themselves who she is.
-Wow, Angad. -What do you say?
I'll get it changed right now.
Your timing was perfect!
These posters are to be printed tonight.
This poster is sure to give competition to
"Dharam Awasthi's dream is jobs for everyone with a degree!"
SHE WILL USHER A NEW SOCIETY
Kamlesh, hats off to your art, buddy.
Brilliant poster.
We only have this one.
Dharam's party has so many options.
This one is enough.
But wasn't the line different?
And... you removed my name off the poster?
That's the best part of the poster.
Angad said to let people find out for themselves.
Their curiosity will be piqued.
-Angad? -Yes.
He came by last night
and wrote this on the spot. It'll be a hit for sure.
-Why did Angad come to the party office? -To see your poster.
He's very creative, and a communist at heart.
This is nice.
Listen, and speak
From heart to heart The language of love
Listen, and speak
From heart to heart The language of love
Meet, and cherish
The sweetness of these trysts
Listen
Speak
Stumble or steady yourself
Love is the mischief of youth
Donâ€™t get on that boat for safety
I love you Rasna.
For only those who drown in love Get across
Listen, and speak
From heart to heart The language of love
-Salutations, Brother. -What's this?
This is Mamta Roy Chaudhary.
The candidate from Communist Party.
We took this poster straight out of the canteen.
They turned the canteen itself into a Communist Party den.
What happened to that Sardar kid?
Brother, he went out of the country.
We should be able to win against this girl easily.
Brother...
this poster is the talk of the university.
This girl could win.
You are able to chat with girls in English, right?
Then go and tell her to take back her nomination.
But why would she listen to me?
You were given a gun, weren't you?
Show it to me.
Guns have a lot of convincing power.
Go. If she doesn't listen to you in English, speak to her in Hindi,
but make sure you cause some damage this time.
Budhai... take some boys along.
Show off our power.
You've been here?
-Let's go sit in the lawns. -Why?
The weather is lovely outside and it's going to get stormy here.
-Why are you so nervous? -Do I look like I'm nervous?
One second.
Will you tell me what's happened?
Dharam is on his way to threaten you. Shall we go now? Come.
Angad.
She's your friend, right?
Tell her to take back her nomination if she wants to stay alive.
Not a single poster should be seen in the university. Understood?
-Paplu! -Yes?
Go to the sociology class and inform Kamlesh about this.
Kamlesh?
OK, I'll speak to her. Leave.
Step back or you'll get hurt.
Let me speak!
Mamta, listen to me...
Move, Angad!
Fire the bullet, bastard.
AJIT MISHRA ADVOCATE
Look...
there are high chances of getting even more emotional inside,
and it doesn't seem like you two are mutually consenting to this.
Her Honor, the judge, is very strict
about the court's time being wasted.
What are you doing?
You two should compose yourselves a little.
I'll be back after a quick cup of tea.
-What is all this drama for? -But...
I feel like crying, I can't help it.
Have you forgotten that night when you brought up divorce in front of Deepu?
You even woke up father in the middle of the night.
So that means you'll divorce me over such a small matter?
Really now?
Mr. Akhtar, it's that thing you said,
"Heads I lose, tails I lose. All I do is lose!"
Then get the divorce.
But...
before signing the papers...
could you go on a honeymoon with me?
Things shouldn't be consumed once the expiration date has passed.
And my... what?
What had you said?
Illiteracy?
Illiteracy.
Yes.
Illiteracy.
And what did you want?
Relief.
Yes.
So, I'm giving you relief.
I've booked the train tickets, hotel rooms, everything.
Get your divorce after we come back,
or else all that money will be wasted.
I spent all the money from the scooter sale on this trip.
What?
We were going to buy a car!
I mean, weren't you going to buy a car?
Sarita...
I've already made up my mind.
Sarita, I was drunk.
And do you know why I was drunk?
Because Prabha told me...
you want to divorce me.
I couldn't understand why.
My settled home was about to be wrecked...
and I was scared.
And do you know what a man does when he is scared?
He gets angry.
When are the tickets for?
Very good.
But I'll still charge my full fees.
By the way, you two have made a very mature decision.
If you've spent so many years sharing the highs and lows,
then why not a few more, right?
This is no age for getting a divorce.
We're going on a honeymoon.
Going on a honeymoon?
Is this an age for going on a honeymoon?
This gentleman is going to cry again.
I've seen it a lot.
Here, your fees.
We'll get a divorce once we are back.
But getting a divorce after coming back from a honeymoon?
Even I'm seeing this for the first time.
You showed a lot of swagger?
Are you my friend or hers?
What has happened to you? Come to your senses.
Because you have a gun, will you scratch your ass with it?
Why did you come to save her?
So you came to kill her?
Whatever had to happen would happen. Why did you interfere?
Listen brother,
control your anger.
Your gun is borrowed, as is your status.
It'll be better if you return them,
because it takes one second to pull the trigger
and turn a graduate into a criminal.
I'm letting you go because you're my friend.
I'm letting you off today because you're upset.
But if you ever touch me again, I'll break off our friendship.
Step back!
Akhtar wants to take me on a honeymoon.
After getting divorced?
What was he planning so far?
The divorce isn't finalized yet.
You guys are playing this like a game, aren't you?
You were bored so you got married.
Now you're bored again so you are getting divorced? Amazing.
I'm not going to accept defeat.
I paid the lawyer the full fees.
Why?
I'll get a divorce after I return.
Divorce post honeymoon.
It's every man's dream, isn't it?
Sorry.
Mr. Steve?
-It's not funny! -No.
Sorry.
Please stop.
Just stop.
OK...
now note the readings.
-It's seven... 48... -OK.
Yes.
Please take accurate readings.
Akhtar Sir has sent this.
Meet me at Chitra Talkies for the 3:00 p.m. show.
I'll tell you how much I love you after the film begins.
Rashmi!
Come here.
What is this?
You answered these four questions correctly.
And they were so difficult.
And in this simple equation, you made a silly mistake?
Why are you laughing? Have I cracked a joke?
Go.
Silly girl!
I think now she is getting some.
Have all of you noted down the readings?
About the condition of my heart
It stays awake all night
It's 44.
And sows dreams in the day
When's the ticket for?
-For Monday. -Nineteen and a half.
Come by on Sunday. I have something for you.
-We'll have to pack on Sunday. -Forty.
Wear what I'll give you when you take Sarita to the Taj Mahal.
She'll forget about getting a divorce.
Uncle?
How is a sherwani to be sewn in three days?
It can be sewn. Of course it will be sewn.
I'll sew it myself. No other work for the next three days.
That's 41.
Buddy, don't turn me into a groom again.
Look mister, if you don't do something right the first time around,
you have to do it again.
That's 44.
That Three Feathers notebook...
you have it, or did you tear it up?
I've kept it carefully.
It's 23.5.
Mr. Steve.
I'm going to test your friendship today.
I'll obviously pass it with flying colors.
So confident?
I want your Pentax camera.
What?
With your lens kit.
My camera is meant to photograph life and strife,
not somebody's honeymoon album.
That too, elder people's honeymoon. Really!
"With flying colors," you said.
Look, you two are sure to get divorced
because, clearly, the man doesn't deserve you.
So, these photographs will only make you sad later on.
I would suggest you not document this honeymoon at all.
All right!
But you have to be bloody careful with it.
What are you looking for?
I can't find my cufflinks.
So why are you looking for them in my cupboard?
Because I can't find them in my cupboard.
Look for them on the terrace.
It's brighter there.
Stop here, brother.
Here.
Can't you ever reach on time?
I couldn't get a rickshaw. What could I do?
I've been here in this heat for 20 minutes.
If you were in a hurry, pick me up.
I pick you up, then drop you. When should I work on my career?
Would have made your career in 20 minutes?
Life gets wasted because of many 20 minutes like these!
Come, sit.
I've noticed, you're getting influenced by Angad a lot these days.
He won't do any of his own work,
-and he'll influence others. -Stop!
-What happened? -Stop!
Here's the Philosophy Department.
Angad will drop me home.
Since when has Angad started dropping you home?
Since you started working on your career.
Go to hell!
You make me wait in this heat, then I'm supposed to listen to you nag?
I don't want to ruin my life over a girlfriend.
Often, there comes a curve in the road of love
when you can't figure out why you chose that person in the first place.
-How much? -Ten rupees.
-Sure you aren't charging extra? -No, sir.
It costs five rupees in Lucknow.
-Let's go. -Yes.
Please come in.
-There's another bag over there. -Yes. Please, come.
Come on.
It's nice.
Please keep it here.
-Sir, please sign here. -Please give me that bag.
Yes, ma'am.
Room 101, ma'am.
Sir, sign here.
Have a nice stay, sir.
Ma'am, if you'd like to visit the Taj Mahal, we have many transport facilities.
-OK. -Please let me know.
-Thank you. -The luggage?
Yes, sir, I'll bring it along.
I'm going to have a bath.
Order some tea, will you?
-And toast as well. -OK.
Sarita?
What is it?
I wanted to discuss something with you.
I'll be out in a minute.
No, I can't meet eyes with you while speaking about it.
-No! -What is it?
Go back inside! I can't meet eyes with you while speaking about it.
Be quick, then! The soap is stinging my eyes.
Look, I know...
I've brought you here on a honeymoon,
and I should be doing your favorite things...
but I want to ask a favor of you.
In return, I'll do you a bigger favor.
What kind of favor?
You won't like it when you hear it.
Just say it. Why are you stalling?
I'm 43 years old now
and I haven't even seen Mirza Ghalib's house.
So?
I mean, when he was young...
he was born right here, in Agra.
He was married...
to Umrao.
You know, Illahi Baksh's daughter.
So he lived here at his in-laws' in Agra.
Why are you telling me all this?
I was thinking... if you don't mind,
we could go there today?
In return...
I'm ready to watch whichever Hindi film you want, regardless of what it's like.
Sure?
What?
Are you sure?
Who informed you?
Show me, where are you hurt?
Got hit on the head, came to my senses. It's nothing.
Why did you go charging like the Queen of Jhansi?
So?
If someone destroys your shop, you just watch?
Then get hit. How did it benefit you?
You think this is funny?
My heart was in my mouth here.
I know, you must have jumped around screaming,
"Hit me! Hit me! I'm their leader!"
Hey! Keep quiet.
Fighting the Municipality for a little vegetable shop.
You look adorable when you get angry, Sudha.
You really think this is funny? If I lose my mind...
So?
What will you do?
Didn't your... that Socrates say anything for a moment like this?
They took an X-ray.
-It must be here somewhere. -It shows nothing in the X-ray,
because your head is empty.
Enough of your living in Lucknow.
-Now, you come with me. -But I'm already with you.
Come to Barabanki with me, to my house.
And what about my shop?
Open a vegetable shop there!
Hey! This is a hospital.
You can die selling vegetables.
I'll shove two cabbages on your bier.
I won't leave Lucknow.
Mumtaz, for my sake.
I've had a proper house constructed for you in Barabanki.
Is it ready?
No, I mean...
the walls are yet to be plastered, but...
the kitchen, veranda, bathroom, everything else is ready.
Do you love me this much?
If your head wasn't bandaged, I'd break it open.
Sudha...
do you know what kept eating at me all these years?
That I didn't believe in your love...
and kept at my job for three years.
Mumtaz...
I loved you too, Sudha, but I remained a whore.
Hey, what is all this?
I was 17 when my own uncle sold me to a brothel for a thousand rupees.
I lost my trust in all men.
It took me a long time to trust you.
But Sudha, why didn't you ever ask me why I kept working?
Hey,
we're at a hospital--
Sudha, why didn't you ask?
Why these silly questions?
No, tell me why you never asked me why I kept working, Sudha?
Tell me, why didn't you ask?
How can I say
That she is unfaithful
When I have always known
Of the pressures in her life
When I have always known
Of the pressures in her life
