I heard a pandemic has broken out in Pune.
Many people have died because of it.
Yes.
I've heard the British government
isn't helping people over there.
Why would they help, brother?
The British are sitting at home with their tails between their legs
to save themselves.
Why would they care about anyone's life?
The British government has opened several hospitals.
Everyone should get treated there. They also treat for free.
Ramdas, you're from Nimni.
Then, why are you supporting the British?
No, er...
I mean...
Tatya is messing with you, Ramdas.
[everyone laughing]
That's correct.
I am telling the truth, though.
I've heard British medicines show speedy results.
We have only one solution
for every disease, pain and sorrow.
That is our Sai.
Hail Sai Ram!
What is the British police doing here?
Look at the British government's facilities.
Your doctor is on a leave.
They couldn't arrange a carriage for a sick person, either.
It's good we found this cart in time
so we could come here.
Hurry up.
But there's no hospital here.
You both have come to Shirdi several times. Don't you know it?
Hurry up. I'll tell you.
Who is Nandini bringing here?
- Someone seems to be ill. - Definitely!
This seems critical.
Sai will cure anyone who comes here.
[tense music playing]
Mom!
[tense music playing]
Mom?
[tense music playing]
For a moment, I thought she was my mother.
My mother looks like her and is of the same age.
No matter whose mother it is.
A mother is always a mother.
Yes, but why did the British police decide to come here?
Amidst this pandemic, I wonder whose mother they're roaming with.
[tense music playing]
How can you say that?
So, what if she is not our mother?
She is someone's mother.
Huh? Then why are you saying that?
Tatya, forgive me. I made a mistake.
We can talk later.
We must take her somewhere.
- She's unconscious. What if we are late? - Let's go.
- Move aside. - Be careful.
- Take it easy.
[tense music playing]
Baba,
I visited Nagar for some work.
Then, I thought of meeting aunt once.
When I went home,
I saw that sir wasn't there, and aunt was in this condition.
[mellow music playing]
Shouldn't we take her to a hospital?
Pestle and mortar.
[tense music playing]
Give this to Ramdas.
This, as well.
We must pound them together. That's how the medicine is made.
[tense music playing]
[stone banging]
Ramdas,
you will see such leaves behind God Khandoba's temple.
We also need to add those.
[tense music playing]
Forgive me.
I was so engrossed in my work
that I couldn't take care of you.
Had Nandini not reached there in time...
[Vishwanath sniffing]
Move aside.
[tense music playing]
'Mom, please recover soon.'
'I cannot see you like this.'
- Is it ready, Ramdas? - Yes.
[devotional song playing]
Fever has spread through her body and reached her brain.
We need to give her this medicine all night.
Wet strips should be placed on her forehead.
Rub oil on the soles of her feet.
Baba, I will stay with aunt all night.
I'll do everything.
Sai,
I'll take her to my house.
Nandini and I will look after her.
No. Let her stay here. I will look after her.
I've come here to serve people.
After the sunset, this area becomes cold.
That's inappropriate for her fever.
[tense music playing]
Lakshmi,
take her to your house.
[tense music playing]
Yes.
[tense music playing]
Do you need help, Ramdas?
No. I'll manage.
- Vishwanath? - Huh?
Aunt, we'll inform sir.
Please don't worry.
[mellow music playing]
Sai, Ramdas is so emotional.
I felt like he wanted to say something
but couldn't.
Controlling your emotions isn't easy, Tatya.
They can lead to an outburst if not controlled.
Ramdas has to learn that.
Jhipri, bring cold water.
Yes.
'Mom, I am helpless.'
'I can't do anything despite your condition.'
[sentimental music playing]
Do you need more water?
I'll fetch it.
It's over there.
[tense music stops]
[sombre music playing]
'Vishwanath!'
'My son! Are you okay?'
'My Vishwanath will go nowhere.'
'I won't let him go.'
'His father is gone!'
'Hereafter, he has to work'
'in the mill to run the house.'
'So, what if his father isn't here? His mother is still here.'
'I will work.'
'I will run the house'
'so my son can study'
'and become an officer.'
'Mom, you fought the world for me.'
'But today, I was not with you despite your condition.'
I'll serve food for the two of you.
I've only made 'dal' and rice today.
I didn't cook anything else.
Should I serve pickle on the side?
I don't feel like eating.
You both can eat.
While serving others, one should look after oneself.
[mellow music playing]
Who will look after her if we fall sick?
A sick patient won't recover early if we don't eat food.
Come. Eat something.
'Okay. Sit.'
'I've made 'varan' and rice for you.'
'Oh, yes! I'll set up your table.'
[sentimental music playing]
Ramdas,
Nandini and I are here. We will look after aunt.
Please go. It's already late.
No. I'll stay back.
What if you need something? I'll stay here.
No, Ramdas. We don't need anything.
You've helped a lot.
We'll call you if needed.
As it is, what will you do with us women here?
[sentimental music playing]
I'll stay back.
The same thing?
[sentimental music playing]
Aunt, Ramdas has to stay with Baba
at Dwarkamai.
I am with you.
Your Nandini.
[sentimental music playing]
[sombre music playing]
Don't worry, Ramdas.
She will recover soon.
You've given the medicine.
So, she will recover.
More than the medicine, Nandini and Jhipri's hard work will cure her.
They will look after her well.
What has happened to her?
The moon isn't visible despite it being a full moon night.
[sombre music playing]
Similarly, she has suppressed a lot in her heart.
That has concealed her happiness.
She can neither express nor bear it.
That is why she is sad on the inside.
But mom... I mean...
She is always happy.
Nandini said so,
as she knows her.
That lady doesn't know that she has worn a mask of happiness.
That mask can hide
the sorrow within her. But it cannot end it.
She might have someone
who keeps her happy,
her family, a child?
Why doesn't she tell them?
Does a mother
ever express her pains, Ramdas?
Since ages,
she is used to sacrificing her aspirations and desires.
Seeing her child happy and knowing
that their aspirations, desires
and dreams are being fulfilled
gives a mother immense satisfaction.
There has to be a way out. Something?
The mask will come off.
Only then will her real aspirations,
desires,
likes and dislikes be surfaced.
However, will the son be able to bear the reality?
That's why the mother
never takes off the mask.
[sad music playing]
[wood rattling]
What load is weighing you down?
[Dalvi sighing]
Do you know Shirdi's new guest?
- Ramdas? - Hmm?
Ever since he has come, I don't know why I feel
that everyone is keeping something from me.
They can keep secrets from you.
However, nobody can keep anything from Tara.
Sitara!
Why are you calling her?
Do you think your wife doesn't understand anything?
You were stressed out because of Ramdas.
Me, too. How can someone
enter our village and keep his family and properties
a secret from the merchant's wife?
Does that mean you sent that fool Sitara
to find things out?
She looks like a fool.
But she is my spy.
She will come and spill the beans.
Whatever!
Call your spy.
Sitara!
I'm coming!
I've found out everything.
What did you find out?
Everything that will take the load off your shoulders? Go on.
He has come from Nimni to serve Sai.
That's not all. Shirdi's residents like him a lot.
They're trying to save him
so nobody at Nagar will know
that Nimni's resident is staying at Shirdi.
How did you find this out?
You see. I went to him and said,
'We want to send'
'some grains to help Nimni. How should we send it?'
You know? He was surprised to hear this.
Considering how he avoided the topic,
my suspicions were confirmed
that he is related to Birsu.
Do you have any sense?
Who told you to do this?
If he turns out to be a police officer,
he will think we're helping Birsu and are supportive of him.
He will take us from Shirdi in handcuffs.
I tried to help you. Yet, you're scolding me.
Help?
If Shinde sir finds out about this from someone else,
it will diminish my importance further in Shirdi.
Before someone else informs sir,
you must inform him.
You are correct.
Without any delay, I'll leave for Nagar in the morning.
I will meet Shinde sir wherever he is and tell him.
I'll also tell him that Nandini brought his mother to Shirdi.
Then, Shinde sir will put her in her rightful place.
Yes.
[Sulekha groaning]
Aunt!
Please get some rest. Please lie down.
Nandini? You?
Where am I?
[tense music playing]
Is it?
Is it Thursday today?
Today is God Dattaguru's day.
I observe a fast every week.
I need to bathe and visit God Dattaguru's temple.
Wait, aunt.
But there might not be a temple here.
No problem.
Our scriptures consider praying in our minds
as one of the best forms of worship.
Baba says the same thing.
Yes.
I'll have the chance to meet him today.
Otherwise, Vishwanath...
Erm...
Can I have a bath?
- We'll talk after that. - Let me help you.
Aunt, I don't think you've met my sister, Jhipri.
She is more like a mother to me than a sister.
Don't they say an older sister is akin to a mother?
Stay blessed.
You both served me all night.
Despite being unconscious, I felt someone's presence.
Nandini is already my daughter.
But now, you've become my daughter, as well.
Nandini, I want to meet Sai.
Aunt, you need rest right now.
I'll take you there in the evening.
No. I want to meet him now.
I would've taken you there,
but I need to go to the factory.
Jhipri, you may go. I'll take her to the factory.
Okay.
- Aunt, please drink this milk. - No!
If we can arrange for a bullock cart in the evening,
I want to go back to Nagar.
Aunt, coming to and going from Shirdi
is up to Sai's wish.
No, Nandini. I must go back.
Vishwanath is travelling for work.
If he doesn't see me at home upon returning,
it will stress him out.
My Vishwanath loves me a lot.
You're too stubborn,
just like me.
I, too, run after Vishwanath so he eats his food.
Fortunate are those
with mothers to feed them.
Please drink your milk. We'll leave then.
Jhipri, should I help you? Yes.
Oh, God!
Take it easy. Come here. Sit.
Sit down.
What's the rush?
Aunt, he is Ramdas.
He's here to serve Baba.
[mellow music playing]
Erm...
Come on. I've come to take you to Dwarkamai.
Sai wants to check if the medicine is working.
Let's go.
Come.
Son,
when you held my hand,
it felt like you're my own.
'Vishwanath?'
[mellow music playing]
