WEBVTT
00:22.233 --> 00:23.834
(indistinct chatter)
00:25.047 --> 00:27.428
(Nanaji) Four!
Good shot!
00:27.429 --> 00:29.942
(laughs) Once more!
00:31.135 --> 00:32.185
(Nanaji) Go for it.
00:33.322 --> 00:34.989
(hawker selling wares)
00:39.368 --> 00:41.385
Why aim at my elbow?
00:41.545 --> 00:42.780
Hit me on the head instead.
00:43.123 --> 00:44.283
And don't use the ball.
00:44.662 --> 00:46.785
Smash my head with the bat.
00:47.934 --> 00:49.076
Dare you cry!
00:49.279 --> 00:54.108
I'll slap you so hard, you'll land
straight in your dad's lap.
00:54.449 --> 00:56.798
Why are you taking it out
on Pinky?
00:57.089 --> 00:58.371
She's just a kid.
00:58.484 --> 01:00.064
Should I take it out on you then?
01:00.197 --> 01:02.985
Or should I just slit my wrist
and end it all?
01:04.625 --> 01:06.750
(tense music builds)
01:09.825 --> 01:10.784
I--
01:12.265 --> 01:14.138
If there were no potatoes to chop,
01:14.534 --> 01:17.625
women would've used the knife
to kill people.
01:19.305 --> 01:22.065
Kids get beaten up for nothing.
01:24.288 --> 01:25.945
Because we're so mad all the time.
01:26.265 --> 01:30.425
Society has turned us
into burning coal.
01:31.835 --> 01:33.585
Every woman is a raging flame.
01:34.065 --> 01:35.867
Once out of the stove, she...
01:38.505 --> 01:40.178
I am so angry.
01:40.179 --> 01:42.179
(Kamlesh breathing heavily)
01:42.690 --> 01:45.902
I feel like killing someone.
01:46.197 --> 01:47.262
But...
01:47.495 --> 01:49.825
the enemy is nameless.
01:49.951 --> 01:51.271
Faceless.
01:52.285 --> 01:53.223
How...
01:53.465 --> 01:55.425
So how can I stab them to death?
01:56.055 --> 01:57.351
How can I curse them?
01:59.004 --> 02:01.731
How do I kill a mindset?
02:02.750 --> 02:04.905
How do I destroy my family?
02:05.164 --> 02:06.297
No.
02:07.354 --> 02:08.918
How do I fight against my own?
02:09.187 --> 02:10.468
Stop the drama.
02:10.675 --> 02:11.552
Hey!
02:12.603 --> 02:16.192
You wanted a fair fight.
02:16.975 --> 02:18.385
Wanted to do it the right way,
didn't you?
02:19.545 --> 02:21.185
There is no right way.
02:22.414 --> 02:24.698
No point fighting among yourselves.
02:25.030 --> 02:26.111
Whom should I fight?
02:27.048 --> 02:28.225
And how?
02:28.842 --> 02:29.905
We had one chance.
02:32.995 --> 02:34.465
Only one.
02:35.798 --> 02:37.585
But we lost it because of you.
02:37.675 --> 02:39.065
What should we have done?
02:39.366 --> 02:41.051
Stabbed them in the back?
02:41.215 --> 02:42.556
Played dirty?
02:42.676 --> 02:43.505
No!
02:45.562 --> 02:49.279
You think they will play fair?
02:49.928 --> 02:50.918
Huh?
02:51.005 --> 02:52.105
Who?
02:52.255 --> 02:53.215
(theme music)
03:05.372 --> 03:06.945
Vinay! Arun!
03:09.092 --> 03:12.905
(Nanaji) Men once lived in caves.
03:14.007 --> 03:17.865
They covered themselves
with animal skin.
03:19.637 --> 03:22.993
Your father-in-law
lives in the city now.
03:24.946 --> 03:29.705
Poetry, fancy words, philosophy.
03:29.864 --> 03:32.046
He hides himself behind them.
03:32.995 --> 03:35.745
But deep down
03:36.377 --> 03:39.145
he's still a caveman.
03:41.558 --> 03:44.625
Who treats women like property.
03:44.865 --> 03:46.145
His property.
03:47.375 --> 03:51.785
And he will do anything
to get his property back.
03:52.668 --> 03:54.178
Anything.
03:54.373 --> 03:55.665
Where are you going?
03:55.933 --> 03:58.418
To bring our daughters-in-law home.
03:58.419 --> 03:59.419
(eerie music)
04:06.899 --> 04:09.025
Go straight.
04:09.349 --> 04:11.865
But that's not the way to Bithoor.
04:12.706 --> 04:14.406
We're going somewhere else first.
04:14.519 --> 04:15.745
Where?
04:16.605 --> 04:17.945
To your in-laws'.
04:21.912 --> 04:24.225
(car engine turns off)
04:25.148 --> 04:26.625
Stay here.
04:27.521 --> 04:29.854
I want to talk to Pooja's dad
in private.
04:29.855 --> 04:31.855
(eerie music)
04:39.511 --> 04:41.196
(suspenseful music)
04:50.425 --> 04:51.865
(gates creak open)
04:58.261 --> 05:00.188
(tense music)
05:12.636 --> 05:13.956
Have some water.
05:14.065 --> 05:16.730
Gayatri, get him tea and snacks.
05:16.830 --> 05:18.442
Of course.
05:18.762 --> 05:19.856
Stop.
05:21.461 --> 05:23.495
I'm not here to eat.
05:25.182 --> 05:26.500
I'm here to talk.
05:27.100 --> 05:28.307
Sure.
05:29.258 --> 05:30.505
Just you and me.
05:30.663 --> 05:32.703
(suspenseful music fades in)
05:41.893 --> 05:43.532
Close the door behind you, son.
05:43.533 --> 05:44.625
Okay.
05:48.451 --> 05:49.255
(temple bell rings)
05:52.562 --> 05:54.321
What happened?
05:54.322 --> 05:55.541
What the hell!
05:55.705 --> 05:57.325
What's wrong, brother?
05:58.361 --> 05:59.424
Hey.
05:59.740 --> 06:01.768
Why did you get out of the car?
06:03.707 --> 06:05.743
I can't bear to sit with you.
06:06.678 --> 06:09.215
Why?
What did I do?
06:09.421 --> 06:12.870
Pooja has tarnished
our family's reputation.
06:15.144 --> 06:17.625
The stain won't come off easily.
06:18.554 --> 06:22.961
Not until she returns home
willingly and happily,
06:23.314 --> 06:25.460
not until she shows respect
06:25.833 --> 06:30.045
and begs for our forgiveness.
06:31.507 --> 06:32.785
That's the only way to fix it.
06:34.911 --> 06:35.871
I...
06:36.986 --> 06:38.585
I will talk to Pooja.
06:39.211 --> 06:40.855
That won't do it.
06:41.063 --> 06:42.826
(suspenseful music)
06:44.617 --> 06:46.145
You'll have to do something else.
06:49.110 --> 06:50.722
What do you want?
06:51.636 --> 06:53.636
Want your daughter to get a divorce?
06:54.192 --> 06:57.865
Or want her to reconcile
with her husband?
06:59.477 --> 07:01.185
I've married off my daughter.
07:01.672 --> 07:04.185
I'm not going to take her back.
07:04.359 --> 07:06.984
She'll only return to your house.
07:06.985 --> 07:07.950
(Anil stutters)
07:07.951 --> 07:10.065
I... I promise you.
07:10.270 --> 07:12.143
I'll convince my daughter.
07:12.329 --> 07:14.065
No matter what it takes.
07:14.832 --> 07:16.575
That's what I expected of you.
07:17.814 --> 07:18.825
Please sit.
07:24.110 --> 07:26.768
Women build a home.
07:29.611 --> 07:30.687
But...
07:31.933 --> 07:33.933
(suspenseful music continues)
07:38.663 --> 07:39.825
...men run the house.
07:41.265 --> 07:42.505
(spoon clinks)
07:44.447 --> 07:49.385
A woman is always expected
to sacrifice.
07:50.819 --> 07:54.305
But the man of the house...
07:55.741 --> 07:56.887
(spoon clinks)
07:57.458 --> 07:59.945
...is always ready to do the same.
08:03.625 --> 08:06.625
(suspenseful music builds)
08:13.231 --> 08:14.408
Dr. Gupta.
08:15.014 --> 08:17.465
Do you have an empty bed
in your hospital?
08:17.822 --> 08:20.305
It is a private matter.
08:21.054 --> 08:23.268
It is between me and my wife.
08:23.773 --> 08:25.865
It's no one else's business.
08:26.480 --> 08:28.665
Why is everyone
barging into my bedroom?
08:29.076 --> 08:30.294
It happens.
08:30.665 --> 08:32.975
Every married couple has issues.
08:33.253 --> 08:35.299
- You must have--
- I must have?
08:36.299 --> 08:37.785
- No...
- What did you say?
08:37.881 --> 08:40.314
- Come on, say it.
- I'm sorry.
08:40.654 --> 08:43.973
- You must have--
- Not all men are like you.
08:43.974 --> 08:47.174
Don't lecture me
on what makes a man.
08:47.870 --> 08:51.065
If you were man enough,
we wouldn't be in this mess.
08:51.202 --> 08:52.869
You couldn't control your wife--
08:52.870 --> 08:55.317
She's my wife.
Not a remote-controlled TV.
08:55.457 --> 08:57.465
Who said this is the definition
of a real man?
08:58.694 --> 09:01.700
A real man
doesn't intimidate his wife.
09:01.701 --> 09:02.895
A pathetic man does.
09:02.981 --> 09:07.354
A real man gets what he wants
at any cost.
09:07.461 --> 09:08.345
Oh, really?
09:08.875 --> 09:10.465
Then not you, not me,
09:11.728 --> 09:12.858
not Dad.
09:12.859 --> 09:15.771
My wife, sitting in Bithoor,
is the real man.
09:15.893 --> 09:19.040
She is determined to punish you.
09:19.403 --> 09:20.665
And she will.
09:20.780 --> 09:22.574
You think I am wrong?
09:22.741 --> 09:23.845
I'm a monster?
09:23.846 --> 09:25.335
So why don't you punish me?
09:25.431 --> 09:28.266
Stop lecturing and hit me.
09:28.499 --> 09:32.225
At least, be a real man
in front of your brother.
09:32.568 --> 09:34.585
Come on, hit me!
09:35.121 --> 09:37.143
- Don't hit me like a girl.
- Arun!
09:37.243 --> 09:38.312
Arun!
09:38.770 --> 09:40.013
Dad has fainted.
09:40.157 --> 09:41.906
(suspenseful music fades out)
09:42.180 --> 09:43.918
(phone vibrates)
09:49.848 --> 09:50.948
Hello.
09:55.349 --> 09:57.349
(melancholy music)
10:24.334 --> 10:25.754
(Nanaji) Take care.
10:29.865 --> 10:31.357
Bless you.
10:36.883 --> 10:38.015
Kamlesh.
10:38.400 --> 10:40.985
You never let go of my hand
as a kid.
10:41.441 --> 10:44.185
You better not leave her side.
10:44.409 --> 10:45.491
Okay?
10:45.492 --> 10:47.492
(sombre music)
10:47.688 --> 10:49.019
God bless.
10:49.286 --> 10:50.417
Get going, dear.
11:01.694 --> 11:03.160
(engine revs)
11:04.294 --> 11:06.208
(sombre music fades out)
11:12.065 --> 11:13.065
(siren wailing distantly)
11:14.685 --> 11:16.185
(Vinay) Pooja, this way.
11:17.088 --> 11:19.886
- (indistinct chatter)
- (siren wailing)
11:26.106 --> 11:27.532
I'll get that.
11:30.658 --> 11:32.356
(monitor beeps)
11:38.071 --> 11:39.027
Pooja.
11:45.087 --> 11:46.285
(Anil sniffles)
11:50.976 --> 11:52.425
Why did you do this, Dad?
11:57.511 --> 11:59.425
Go back to your in-laws'.
12:00.660 --> 12:02.346
(monitor beeps)
12:09.281 --> 12:10.461
(Pooja sniffles)
12:15.958 --> 12:17.025
(Arun) Pooja.
12:17.814 --> 12:18.901
Look...
12:19.334 --> 12:21.185
I know I'm a monster to you.
12:21.955 --> 12:24.695
But in my eyes,
12:25.709 --> 12:27.025
I'm just a husband.
12:29.349 --> 12:31.556
Maybe I made a mistake.
12:32.863 --> 12:37.361
But no one leaves home
over one small mistake.
12:37.956 --> 12:39.660
(tense music)
12:42.375 --> 12:43.565
You left.
12:44.227 --> 12:45.465
Kamlesh left.
12:46.816 --> 12:50.345
Things got out of hand.
12:50.835 --> 12:51.905
The police came for us.
12:55.187 --> 12:58.217
I'm tired of all this.
12:59.449 --> 13:01.434
(tense music continues)
13:03.924 --> 13:05.027
See...
13:06.427 --> 13:08.865
Father hurt himself because of us.
13:10.540 --> 13:11.688
Pooja.
13:14.313 --> 13:16.545
You once said it.
13:17.607 --> 13:18.975
Now I'm saying it.
13:20.531 --> 13:21.905
Let's start afresh.
13:22.905 --> 13:23.863
(Pooja sniffles)
13:24.850 --> 13:26.412
Please, Pooja.
13:27.103 --> 13:28.682
- (monitor beeps)
- (Arun panting)
13:34.598 --> 13:36.531
(tense music builds)
13:37.884 --> 13:39.105
Come back home.
13:45.025 --> 13:46.195
I am sorry.
13:47.025 --> 13:49.185
No, Arun. Don't be sorry.
13:50.327 --> 13:51.777
Don't worry.
13:53.623 --> 13:56.185
I'll add Pooja's name to the will.
13:56.568 --> 13:58.481
(tense music intensifies)
13:59.721 --> 14:00.825
And, Gayatri.
14:02.090 --> 14:03.985
I've taken care of Tito's job.
14:05.882 --> 14:07.025
Relax.
14:09.972 --> 14:11.145
Gayatri.
14:12.836 --> 14:15.972
Tito will finally have a job.
14:16.622 --> 14:19.475
- (tense music continues)
- (monitor beeps)
14:20.049 --> 14:22.100
(female vocalising)
14:35.512 --> 14:37.295
I don't want to go back.
14:41.504 --> 14:42.639
Pooja dear.
14:43.890 --> 14:45.220
Please.
14:45.436 --> 14:47.012
(melancholy music)
14:47.126 --> 14:48.489
(monitor beep echoes)
14:49.265 --> 14:50.705
(car honks)
14:58.443 --> 15:00.705
(Kamlesh) Everyone loves a bird.
15:01.163 --> 15:03.705
But only when it's caged.
15:04.520 --> 15:06.229
When the bird dares to fly,
15:06.632 --> 15:08.636
the captor feels rattled.
15:09.419 --> 15:11.865
So they clip her wings.
15:12.278 --> 15:14.225
They crush her spirit.
15:14.783 --> 15:16.284
They do whatever it takes
15:16.859 --> 15:19.865
to stop her flight.
15:20.933 --> 15:22.933
Just as they did to us.
15:27.590 --> 15:30.019
(walking cane clicking)
15:32.914 --> 15:34.911
(tense music builds)
15:42.002 --> 15:45.390
♪ The song of life ♪
15:46.162 --> 15:49.775
♪ Is back on the same rhythm ♪

15:59.289 --> 16:00.571
Awesome, Grandpa!
16:00.704 --> 16:02.381
"Awesome, Grandpa"?
16:02.492 --> 16:03.842
Here you go.
16:05.955 --> 16:07.825
- Offer it to your father-in-law.
- Sure.
16:07.993 --> 16:09.536
- Father.
- No, thanks.
16:09.912 --> 16:10.951
Have some.
16:10.952 --> 16:12.892
- Are you taking your medicines?
- Yes.
16:13.068 --> 16:14.688
Then just relax.
16:15.106 --> 16:17.735
Men often make mistakes.
16:19.120 --> 16:23.213
It's a woman's responsibility
to change them with love and care.
16:23.326 --> 16:24.785
Our daughters-in-law are back.
16:24.973 --> 16:27.385
I'm going to have
a religious recital tomorrow.
16:27.840 --> 16:28.905
Kamlesh, here.
16:30.168 --> 16:31.342
Some sweets.
16:34.110 --> 16:35.025
Pooja.
16:35.447 --> 16:37.253
(tense music)
16:40.740 --> 16:41.625
Pooja?
16:48.716 --> 16:49.735
Pooja.
16:50.379 --> 16:51.705
Serve the guests.
16:53.181 --> 16:54.936
(indistinct chatter)
16:57.470 --> 17:01.375
Pooja and I
have sorted out our differences.
17:01.515 --> 17:03.455
Can't we too?
17:03.820 --> 17:06.895
Scold me if you're upset.
17:07.086 --> 17:09.135
Vent your anger on me but...
17:09.674 --> 17:10.865
Forgive me.
17:12.615 --> 17:16.006
- You can slap me if you want.
- Careful.
17:17.346 --> 17:21.255
One tight slap
and you'll regret your words.
17:21.622 --> 17:22.625
Kamlesh...
17:23.725 --> 17:24.819
Kamlesh.
17:26.149 --> 17:27.769
(Sukumar) Serve them, Pooja.
17:28.050 --> 17:30.050
(indistinct chatter)
17:32.464 --> 17:33.385
Pooja.
17:34.304 --> 17:35.358
Come here.
17:36.027 --> 17:37.822
Come, sit.
17:38.757 --> 17:40.003
Please sit.
17:44.665 --> 17:45.739
I...
17:46.465 --> 17:49.185
I've found a 1BHK flat
in Vikas Nagar.
17:50.410 --> 17:52.008
We'll move in there.
17:52.452 --> 17:53.385
Okay?
17:55.808 --> 17:58.168
How will you live
without your family?
17:58.861 --> 18:00.245
I don't know, Kamlesh.
18:01.578 --> 18:03.117
All I know is
18:03.118 --> 18:05.760
you can't live
with this family anymore.
18:10.853 --> 18:12.519
(sombre music)
18:13.558 --> 18:14.805
Pooja,
18:14.905 --> 18:16.305
we'll start anew.
18:16.780 --> 18:18.022
New beginnings.
18:18.200 --> 18:19.353
New relationship.
18:19.967 --> 18:21.373
New wedding vows.
18:23.520 --> 18:24.625
New honeymoon.
18:27.620 --> 18:29.046
(tense music fades in)
18:32.313 --> 18:33.784
(guest laughing)
18:37.073 --> 18:38.238
Kamlesh.
18:40.516 --> 18:42.516
(tense music builds)
18:54.340 --> 18:55.814
You have a voice.
18:58.067 --> 18:59.465
But you don't use it.
19:03.330 --> 19:04.448
Now...
19:05.977 --> 19:07.427
you'll have to speak up.
19:08.204 --> 19:09.971
"I'll punish my brother-in-law.
19:10.193 --> 19:12.392
"I'll get justice.
19:12.665 --> 19:14.288
"I'll start a revolution."
19:14.289 --> 19:15.368
Huh?
19:15.369 --> 19:17.276
You couldn't do shit.
19:19.222 --> 19:21.625
Three days of playing the rebel
19:22.981 --> 19:24.978
and you're back home.
19:25.698 --> 19:27.137
Back to being a slave.
19:28.128 --> 19:31.621
I've got
such worthless daughters-in-law.
19:32.772 --> 19:34.185
You know, right?
19:34.946 --> 19:36.545
Dad took sleeping pills.
19:37.726 --> 19:39.255
Forced me to come back.
19:39.364 --> 19:40.535
Oh, really?
19:41.515 --> 19:42.991
He should've talked some sense.
19:43.721 --> 19:45.745
Why did he talk such bullshit?
19:46.284 --> 19:47.847
And why did you take it?
19:49.366 --> 19:50.667
Why did you listen to him?
19:51.823 --> 19:53.525
Why did you come back home?
19:55.259 --> 19:57.225
- For the sake of our family--
- Shut up.
19:58.062 --> 19:59.937
Don't you get it?
20:00.550 --> 20:02.528
"Family."
20:03.541 --> 20:05.260
"Traditions."
20:07.668 --> 20:09.208
"Love."
20:11.278 --> 20:13.624
And God knows what else.
20:14.345 --> 20:19.223
We've been slaving away like fools
in the name of all this.
20:20.858 --> 20:21.994
And...
20:22.814 --> 20:24.935
we've been doing it happily.
20:25.527 --> 20:27.455
For years and years.
20:27.926 --> 20:29.935
For centuries.
20:31.259 --> 20:32.735
Even now.
20:32.978 --> 20:34.425
Just like you are.
20:35.430 --> 20:36.745
What should we have done?
20:37.025 --> 20:38.255
You should've fought.
20:38.490 --> 20:40.265
We tried everything.
20:40.503 --> 20:42.625
But nothing worked.
20:43.208 --> 20:45.033
Can't file a complaint.
20:45.964 --> 20:47.865
Can't go to court.
20:49.178 --> 20:50.825
So do we wrestle them?
20:52.433 --> 20:54.401
Grab a gun and turn into criminals?
20:55.945 --> 20:58.500
Take a hammer and break their heads?
20:58.593 --> 20:59.459
No.
20:59.460 --> 21:01.460
(Kamlesh sobbing)
21:02.659 --> 21:03.704
Kamlesh.
21:04.433 --> 21:06.701
Don't break their heads.
21:09.748 --> 21:11.305
Just break your silence.
21:12.048 --> 21:13.095
Silence!
21:15.020 --> 21:16.815
Whatever has happened
21:17.072 --> 21:20.921
say it out loud
in front of everyone.
21:21.195 --> 21:23.115
(tense music intensifies)
21:25.503 --> 21:27.119
If a woman
21:28.427 --> 21:30.036
finds her voice,
21:30.960 --> 21:36.258
no one will dare
lay a finger on her.
21:40.653 --> 21:42.588
Don't leave home.
21:43.902 --> 21:45.867
Stay here and put up a fight.
21:47.025 --> 21:48.345
Silence
21:49.926 --> 21:52.285
is society's weapon.
21:53.531 --> 21:55.114
And a woman's weapon
21:57.740 --> 21:58.985
is her voice.
22:02.994 --> 22:04.905
You won't be able to fight unarmed.
22:05.777 --> 22:07.459
You won't be able to win either.
22:07.862 --> 22:09.903
So wield your weapon.
22:10.789 --> 22:12.335
Your voice.
22:12.664 --> 22:15.160
(tense music swells and drops)
22:23.515 --> 22:24.554
(Kamlesh sniffles)
22:26.632 --> 22:27.865
Everything will be fine.
22:30.145 --> 22:33.786
(chanting prayers)
22:52.664 --> 22:55.545
(woman 1) Kamlesh, you've kept
only Goddess's idols.
22:56.356 --> 22:57.639
(woman 2) At least tell us
22:57.764 --> 22:59.535
whose tale it is.
23:01.286 --> 23:02.555
A tale of two goddesses.
23:02.933 --> 23:04.585
You and me.
23:05.969 --> 23:07.615
It's the tale of a woman's life.
23:09.868 --> 23:11.268
Where's the priest?
23:12.112 --> 23:13.105
I am the priest.
23:13.285 --> 23:15.345
Do you even know
how to recite a sacred text?
23:17.046 --> 23:18.091
No.
23:18.092 --> 23:20.182
The Vedas, the Shastras,
The Bhagavad Purana.
23:20.272 --> 23:21.838
Have you read any of them?
23:22.313 --> 23:23.268
No.
23:23.269 --> 23:24.922
How are you the priest then?
23:30.797 --> 23:32.211
I know a few worship rituals.
23:32.790 --> 23:34.145
And a few mantras.
23:34.912 --> 23:36.702
I've watched the Ramayana on TV.
23:36.795 --> 23:38.784
I have zero knowledge.
23:40.508 --> 23:42.705
But I have endless devotion.
23:43.409 --> 23:46.370
The scholars will tell you
the real tale.
23:46.667 --> 23:48.681
I'm just telling you how I see it.
23:49.541 --> 23:51.985
Pardon my mistakes.
Bear with me.
23:56.217 --> 23:57.868
(conch blows)
24:05.121 --> 24:06.470
Hello, hello.
24:09.286 --> 24:10.265
Let's begin.
24:10.834 --> 24:12.729
When the world was formed,
24:13.048 --> 24:15.068
women were highly respected.
24:16.379 --> 24:18.215
Life was great.
24:19.878 --> 24:23.615
The scriptures said
women should be worshipped.
24:24.330 --> 24:26.293
Sage Gargi
had philosophical debates.
24:26.294 --> 24:28.034
Queen Kaikeyi fought battles.
24:28.496 --> 24:29.985
No one catcalled them.
24:31.501 --> 24:33.309
No one harassed them.
24:34.910 --> 24:37.105
When Ravana touched Goddess Sita,
24:37.410 --> 24:39.705
Lord Rama burnt his kingdom, Lanka.
24:41.222 --> 24:43.825
When the Kuru princes
disrobed Queen Draupadi,
24:44.270 --> 24:47.289
she washed her hair
with their blood.
24:47.592 --> 24:48.962
(faint chatter)
24:51.584 --> 24:56.161
Great warriors were known
by their mothers' names.
24:56.632 --> 24:58.662
Ganga's son Bhishma took the vow.
24:58.828 --> 25:01.975
Kunti's son Arjun
pierced the fish's eye.
25:02.360 --> 25:05.950
Radha's son Karna
fed the beggars.
25:06.585 --> 25:11.764
God came down to Earth
to play in His mother's lap.
25:12.300 --> 25:13.385
What good times!
25:14.544 --> 25:16.075
But somewhere down the line...
25:17.547 --> 25:18.999
the system changed.
25:19.000 --> 25:19.777
So true.
25:19.880 --> 25:22.727
Earlier, every woman
had a different story.
25:23.618 --> 25:25.145
Goddess Sita's was different.
25:25.429 --> 25:27.745
Queen Rukmini.
Goddess Radha.
25:27.935 --> 25:29.545
Princess Kunti.
Everyone.
25:29.922 --> 25:33.222
But suddenly, something happened.
25:34.373 --> 25:36.505
And every woman had the same story.
25:36.979 --> 25:37.980
Birth.
25:38.076 --> 25:39.225
Producing children.
25:40.698 --> 25:41.625
Death.
25:43.893 --> 25:46.180
Nothing more to the tale.
25:47.192 --> 25:48.715
First, the stories disappeared.
25:50.263 --> 25:51.465
Then they lost their rights.
25:52.377 --> 25:55.345
Not only house, property and money.
25:57.259 --> 25:58.425
But food too.
25:59.589 --> 26:00.618
Essentials.
26:01.870 --> 26:03.095
Shoes.
26:04.838 --> 26:05.834
Clothes.
26:07.338 --> 26:09.705
Even their freedom.
26:10.881 --> 26:11.945
They lost everything.
26:14.306 --> 26:18.105
All a woman had was her body.
26:20.882 --> 26:22.235
Then she lost that too.
26:22.236 --> 26:23.710
(dramatic music)
26:24.279 --> 26:25.271
Now...
26:25.617 --> 26:28.585
A woman's body
isn't even her own anymore.
26:31.722 --> 26:33.145
It belongs to her husband.
26:33.904 --> 26:36.425
That's enough about the world.
26:37.594 --> 26:40.558
Now it's time for a personal story.
26:43.060 --> 26:44.131
Hear us out.
26:46.094 --> 26:47.154
Pooja.
26:48.545 --> 26:49.482
Come.
26:49.855 --> 26:50.905
Pooja.
26:51.679 --> 26:52.710
(Arun) Pooja.
26:53.099 --> 26:55.099
(suspenseful music builds)
27:03.585 --> 27:04.543
Sit.
27:19.265 --> 27:20.297
My name...
27:20.298 --> 27:21.885
(suspenseful music)
27:26.995 --> 27:29.105
My name is Pooja Kumar.
27:31.338 --> 27:32.609
And I...
27:33.746 --> 27:36.432
I am Bhramar-ji's...
27:38.045 --> 27:40.265
I'm his younger son's wife.
27:41.427 --> 27:42.591
Pooja.
27:49.886 --> 27:51.455
My husband...
27:53.345 --> 27:55.385
made physical relations with me
27:59.463 --> 28:02.463
without my consent.
28:02.609 --> 28:06.391
- (dramatic music)
- (indistinct chatter)
28:10.600 --> 28:12.385
My husband raped me.
28:12.547 --> 28:13.814
(guests gasp)
28:14.007 --> 28:15.595
(dramatic music intensifies)
28:20.445 --> 28:22.673
(Pooja) My husband raped me.
28:22.780 --> 28:24.065
Shut her up.
28:24.212 --> 28:26.265
She's falsely accusing you.
28:26.749 --> 28:28.145
And you're letting her?
28:29.151 --> 28:30.265
- Be a man.
- (Pooja speaking in background)
28:30.403 --> 28:32.545
- (Pooja) He did it again and again--
- Shut up!
28:37.080 --> 28:40.208
She's using such words
in front of your kids.
28:40.488 --> 28:42.786
And you all are sitting idle?
28:43.100 --> 28:44.145
Shame on you!
28:44.705 --> 28:47.521
Language builds character.
28:47.847 --> 28:50.686
You're letting your kids
hear all this.
28:51.071 --> 28:53.266
What kind of people
will they grow up to be?
28:54.645 --> 28:56.335
(dramatic music continues)
28:56.336 --> 28:57.265
Stop it!
28:59.717 --> 29:00.718
Go home.
29:04.165 --> 29:05.259
Get going.
29:05.403 --> 29:06.729
- Let's go.
- Come on.
29:07.778 --> 29:09.888
- (Arun) Move it.
- (man 1) Let's go home.
29:10.069 --> 29:12.368
- (Arun) Please leave.
- (man 2) Come on.
29:12.369 --> 29:13.864
- (man 3) Let's go.
- (Arun) Uncle.
29:14.249 --> 29:15.704
- (Arun) Come on.
- (Kamlesh) I dare you!
29:15.947 --> 29:21.677
Only leave if you've never been
touched against your will.
29:29.790 --> 29:33.185
Leave if you've never felt unsafe
on public transport.
29:33.468 --> 29:38.295
Leave if a neighbour, brother,
uncle, professor,
29:38.472 --> 29:42.008
a random stranger or relative
29:42.214 --> 29:44.065
didn't come on to you.
29:46.106 --> 29:48.145
Swear by God that
29:48.469 --> 29:53.465
you've ever had agency
over your own body.
29:54.504 --> 29:56.671
If so, you can leave.
29:57.730 --> 29:58.825
Only if...
30:00.727 --> 30:02.430
(dramatic music builds)
30:09.686 --> 30:10.656
Let's go, Pooja.
30:11.085 --> 30:12.232
- Come with--
- Arun.
30:12.352 --> 30:14.478
- Come with me!
- I haven't finished yet.
30:14.685 --> 30:18.343
I've always
treated you with respect.
30:19.124 --> 30:21.156
I've never raised my hand on you.
30:21.277 --> 30:23.422
That doesn't mean
you cross your limits
30:23.571 --> 30:26.073
and insult me in front of--
30:26.074 --> 30:28.011
(guests gasp)
30:28.012 --> 30:29.970
(dramatic music swells)
30:34.872 --> 30:35.893
(smacks)
30:39.409 --> 30:41.184
(dramatic music continues)
30:56.223 --> 30:59.030
You turned my whole family
against me.
30:59.876 --> 31:01.141
Fought with me.
31:01.596 --> 31:02.977
Misbehaved with me.
31:03.937 --> 31:05.288
Did it all in public.
31:07.611 --> 31:09.225
But what's the use?
31:10.070 --> 31:15.065
It's not a crime
in the eyes of the law.
31:16.050 --> 31:17.037
Hmm?
31:18.182 --> 31:20.705
That's for the educated people
to know.
31:21.806 --> 31:23.699
All I know is
31:24.695 --> 31:26.732
I can't change the law.
31:28.044 --> 31:31.059
But I can change my family.
31:32.331 --> 31:35.034
And family is like a sweater.
31:35.521 --> 31:37.082
I'd once knitted it.
31:38.669 --> 31:41.796
Now I'll unravel it
and knit it again.
31:47.394 --> 31:48.265
Arun.
31:54.377 --> 31:55.557
Think about it.
31:56.846 --> 31:58.625
You must've done something wrong
31:59.176 --> 32:01.225
for your family
to have turned against you.
32:02.601 --> 32:04.485
The mother who gave birth to you.
32:05.098 --> 32:07.707
The grandma and the brother
who protected you.
32:09.275 --> 32:10.999
The sister-in-law who raised you.
32:12.159 --> 32:14.166
Everyone can't be wrong.
32:17.147 --> 32:19.616
I can't take you to court.
32:20.726 --> 32:22.635
Can't rely
on the village council either.
32:24.016 --> 32:28.078
The court alone
isn't meant to deliver justice.
32:29.068 --> 32:30.105
But family can.
32:35.191 --> 32:37.294
Your family will deliver justice
this time.
32:40.423 --> 32:42.534
A family always chooses their son
32:43.747 --> 32:45.732
over their daughter-in-law.
32:47.924 --> 32:50.344
But today, this family...
32:52.072 --> 32:53.425
has done the opposite.
32:55.845 --> 32:58.566
Men own property.
33:00.540 --> 33:02.625
But women own relationships.
33:04.682 --> 33:10.338
And we are disowning you.
33:12.954 --> 33:14.265
When I die...
33:15.775 --> 33:19.945
you won't have the right
to perform my final rites.
33:21.783 --> 33:23.426
When Pinky gets married...
33:25.207 --> 33:27.785
you won't attend her wedding.
33:28.600 --> 33:29.651
No.
33:30.954 --> 33:32.147
Your mom.
33:32.593 --> 33:34.184
Me.
33:34.442 --> 33:35.705
Your grandma.
33:35.833 --> 33:39.251
You'll only hear about us.
33:40.745 --> 33:41.865
Not be a part of our lives.
33:42.423 --> 33:44.413
Kamlesh, please...
33:44.846 --> 33:45.926
Don't do this to me.
33:46.017 --> 33:47.611
I won't be able to live like this.
33:47.751 --> 33:49.385
And Pooja can't live like this!
33:51.212 --> 33:54.945
Do you realise what you've done?
33:56.117 --> 33:57.604
I...
33:57.837 --> 33:58.913
(Vinay) We do realise.
34:01.479 --> 34:03.939
- I'm not talking about you.
- You should.
34:05.607 --> 34:11.464
Men like me turn a blind eye
to everything.
34:11.465 --> 34:13.157
You should blame us too.
34:15.000 --> 34:15.785
Dad.
34:16.467 --> 34:18.404
You kept teaching Arun wrong things.
34:18.666 --> 34:19.761
I stayed silent.
34:19.762 --> 34:21.456
I stayed silent
when he wronged her.
34:21.548 --> 34:22.997
Even when she kept fighting.
34:22.998 --> 34:25.905
I was just a silent spectator
to it all.
34:27.133 --> 34:30.289
Staying silent in the face of wrong
is wrong too.
34:30.422 --> 34:31.505
Isn't it?
34:32.940 --> 34:35.521
The battle
between right and wrong...
34:36.672 --> 34:38.265
Why should only women fight it?
34:40.323 --> 34:41.665
We'll fight with them.
34:45.744 --> 34:46.545
Arun.
34:47.830 --> 34:50.665
You followed Dad blindly.
34:51.081 --> 34:54.825
But when you realise
where it has got you...
34:56.144 --> 34:59.145
you won't be able to face yourself.
35:00.569 --> 35:04.273
So if you have an ounce of shame,
35:05.807 --> 35:07.421
you should apologise.
35:07.613 --> 35:11.509
Beg for forgiveness
till your last breath.
35:15.122 --> 35:16.533
Sorry, Kamlesh.
35:16.640 --> 35:19.305
Not me, say sorry to Pooja.
35:21.481 --> 35:22.230
Pooja.
35:22.712 --> 35:24.425
- Pooja.
- Beg for her forgiveness.
35:27.921 --> 35:29.337
No need, Kamlesh.
35:30.477 --> 35:32.477
One slap won't change him.
35:34.803 --> 35:35.905
I know.
35:37.971 --> 35:39.465
It's in his genes.
35:41.325 --> 35:44.025
A slap can't change his nature.
35:45.009 --> 35:46.545
Not when it runs in his blood.
35:49.417 --> 35:51.065
But he'll say sorry.
35:52.074 --> 35:53.145
So that everyone sees
35:53.965 --> 35:56.112
what women are capable of.
35:56.852 --> 36:00.905
What women can do
when they stand united.
36:05.421 --> 36:07.001
Pooja, please forgive me.
36:08.308 --> 36:12.002
I didn't understand
what being a husband means.
36:13.366 --> 36:15.505
- Sorry--
- I can't forgive you.
36:19.844 --> 36:21.585
The things you've done to me...
36:22.590 --> 36:26.166
I'll wait for the day
the law criminalises it.
36:27.166 --> 36:29.265
And when it happens...
36:30.025 --> 36:33.494
I'll drag you
to court by the collar.
36:34.549 --> 36:36.495
(dramatic music)
36:39.589 --> 36:41.409
(tense music)
36:44.952 --> 36:46.225
I was wrong, Dad.
36:46.739 --> 36:48.465
It's time to fix it.
36:52.542 --> 36:54.542
(tense music intensifies)
36:57.673 --> 36:59.627
Enough said.
37:01.122 --> 37:02.942
I'm done talking.
37:03.988 --> 37:06.065
Now it's your turn to think.
37:10.605 --> 37:12.605
(tense music swells)
37:17.273 --> 37:19.926
♪ Not just a drop,
She's the sacred river ♪
37:19.927 --> 37:22.323
♪ Spreading her wings
She soars the skies ♪
37:22.324 --> 37:30.299
♪ For the first time
The little bird flies ♪
37:31.905 --> 37:33.313
