Yes, I can hear it.
Why don't you turn it off?
I enjoy hearing it.
Aman!
Aman!
Aman!
'I am coming.'
Oh, wow, you washed your underwear?
You have grown up.
I didn't wash it with just water.
I used soap as well.
Since past four days
I have been hand washing it.
Check the washing machine.
Every task you do for four day only.
Hey, don't hang it here.
Hang it on the terrace. Go.
And since you are going up,
water the basil plant.
- What is wrong?
- Nothing. I am having cold.
Get paracetamol for
me from the medical store.
There is lots of work today.
I will take the medicine
and lie down for a while.
I will feel better.
And do apply balm also.
Okay.
And when you get up
do hand the board outside.
Doctor Shanti Mishra.
All the illnesses are cured
here with balm and paracetamol.
Look, I humbly request you.
Today is festival day.
Your sister will be coming
today and I have lots of work.
So I don't want to waste
my energy in fighting with you.
Your obedient wife doctor Shanti Mishra.
Even fever cannot affect your tongue,
isn't it?
I don't have fever and if it
aggravates I will go to Bengali doctor.
Don't go to that quack.
Dubey's daughter-in-law
had consulted him.
He touched her in the wrong place.
Well, if you consult a
doctor for treatment of cold..
..he is bound to touch you somewhere.
Forget it. Your sister will
visit us and it is the month's end.
What are you going to give her?
I already knew that Raksha
Bandhan (brother-sister's festival)..
..will be during the
month's end this time.
I have withdrawn 2000 rupees
and kept under the mattress.
Oh, wow! So why didn't you buy a dress?
It will be delivered.
I have ordered online from Annu's mobile.
It will be delivered today.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
The last time you had bought something..
..and your sister
looked ridiculous in it.
SANSKRIT CHAN
SANSKRIT CHAN
Brother, Happy Raksha Bandhan.
Tie 'Rakhi' (thread) to me.
Shall I come?
Come and tie it.
What happened?
Nothing. Go down, I will come later.
Who is the girl?
What girl?
I mean I thought that you
are standing here in depression..
..so it might be related to a girl.
Go down. Go.
Listen.
Yes?
Come up. I want to talk
to you about something.
To me?
Yes, to you. Come up.
Give me your hand.
Will you tell my mother?
- I already knew it is about a girl.
It is not about a girl.
Is it about a boy?
Yousorry, tell me.
- I could not pass the SSC exam.
- What?
Were you standing
here to commit suicide?
No. I am not thinking of suicide.
Anyway, I will have to
jump four times from here to die.
You are right.
I am scared about how
to tell mother and father.
'Aman, where are you?'
Can you hear her?
Tell them. Come down and tell them.
There is going to be an explosion.
What kind of a person you are?
I am telling you something
and you are scaring me.
- I am leaving.
- Don't tell mother.
- When did your result come?
- Last evening.
I see. That is why you were
sleeping listening to sad songs.
I could not sleep.
I was awake the whole night.
I was unable to sleep.
- I will not going to say anyone.
- Don't you dare to tell about anyone.
Did you go upstairs to watch..
..how long it will
take the underwear to dry?
And you?
I haven't seen you since morning.
Where were you?
I was having some fresh air.
Yes, don't study, just have fresh air.
Let your results be declared.
I will thrash you with
shoes and rolling pin.
Go and buy medicine for me.
And two packets of milk
and half kilo milk cake, okay?
I too will go with you.
Mother, may I go?
Okay, go, but don't stay out too long.
This is festival day. Return soon.
And what is this?
Wear pants. Will you go out in shorts?
As you are going inside,
get my phone also. It is in my room.
- Mother.
- Yes?
What is it?
I am going crazy in this house.
'Festival. Every month there
is at least one festival every month..'
'..in the calendar of this country..'
'..when people are a bit more excited.'
'Why do they feel so
is a topic worth researching.'
'But it can be said with certainty..'
'..that people here need just
a chance to celebrate a festival.'
'That is why on some days
when there is no festival..'
'..it still feels like a festival.'
'For example the day of result.'
'If the child passes, the day of the
result feels like 'Holi' or 'Diwali'.
'But if the child fails..'
'In the calendar of this country
the days of mourning are not fixed.'
'And today it is not 'Holi' or 'Diwali'.
'Today is 'Raksha Bandhan'.'
"Sometimes high, sometimes low"
"Sometimes twisted..
..and sometimes straight."
"A little twisted,
and a little restrained.."
"but I held on to it."
"A little wet, and a little dry."
"Sometimes low and sometimes high."
"Sometimes melt in
the mouth like cardamom"
"otherwise as hard as ginger."
"Life was a piggybank of memories."
"Life was a piggybank."
Hello.
Hello.
Come fast.
I have failed and he
is busy with the phone.
Give me my phone.
So what have you decided?
I am unable to decide.
My mind is not working.
I don't have the courage to go home.
Listen. Let us go
to the stationary shop.
We will buy a paper and a ball pen.
We will write a nice note. Hello, sir.
I will buy things from
the shop and go home.
I will bring all your things
and meet you at the main bus depot.
Run away.
Yes, brother, and return
after becoming a big officer..
..and prove to our mother.
Doesn't she keep on scolding you?
It hurts me here very much.
Don't worry about home.
I will handle everything.
Now I have become quite sensible.
The lapdon't take along the laptop.
Come here. Come here.
Come here, I won't beat you.
Give me money.
Give me money.
Give me money and go home, okay?
I don't want to look at your face.
I will buy the thigs and come home.
Run away.
Mister. Mister. Mister. Wait. Wait.
Hold this. Hold this.
Give me today's newspaper.
Listen. Don't show
your face around here.
Today is 'Raksha Bandhan'.
Take the day off. Go.
Go. Move fast.
Go.
Why hasn't the newspaper
boy come till now?
He must be taking the
day off for 'Raksha Bandhan'.
Why are you wearing
new clothes right now?
Come here and help me.
Other than this I don't
need any help from you.
I am begging to you with folded hands.
Please don't tell anybody about this.
And about this also.
- I have told.
- What?
Idiot, whom have you told?
What have you told?
What have you told?
About what have you told?
About that, or..
- Have you told about this?
- No, no.
I will teach you a lesson.
Why is Lucky making a video call?
Meet me later.
Hello, aunt.
Hey, where are you blowing it?
Will you blow it in my face?
You are spoiling my lungs.
Aunt, the men are operating
a mosquito repellent machine.
Take it over there.
It must be coming to your street also.
Be careful. Keep the windows closed.
How are you?
No, no, I am fine. Everything is fine.
No, aunt, I failed by only four marks.
I will pass next time it.
Where is Lucky?
Is he crying?
Let me talk to him.
Give him the phone. Let me talk to him.
Hey, why are you crying?
Have you gone crazy?
Hey, I have failed but you are crying.
What kind of a person you are?
Brother Annu has failed.
Is it a small matter?
Failing is also an art.
Youwhat do they say? Chill, my friend.
Okay, wait, I am coming to your house.
I have come here for shopping.
I will leave the things at
home and will come to see you, okay?
Stop crying. Okay, fine.
Okay, okay,
I will meet you on the bridge. Bye.
Come here.
In future if you touch my phone..
Yes. Yes, sister, tell me.
No, no, four o'clock will be too late.
Come earlier. Okay.
Is brother coming?
Yes, tell him that I am
making his favourite vermicelli.
Annu has gone to the market.
Yes, yes, come over. Come over.
It is nothing. Just having cold.
Do come soon.
Okay. Yes, he is here. Okay.
Go on, talk. Talk some more.
You alone talk.
Today is 'Raksha Bandhan'.
She is my sister.
I cannot talk to her.
You alone talk to her.
Buy mother's medicines form here.
Please give him medicines.
I will be back.
Can I get a paracetamol.
Uncle!
- Hello, uncle.
- Hello.
Give me two packets of
milk and half kilo milk cake.
Quickly give milk packets
and half kilo milk cake.
Annu, wasn't your result
supposed to be declared?
What happened?
Nothing, uncle, I failed.
How did you come to know?
The newspaper says
a boy committed suicide.
You are bound to fail
if you don't study, isn't it?
He used to make musicals.
What would the parents be enduring?
At least he should
have told his parents.
At the most what would have happened?
They would have thrashed
him he wouldn't have made musicals.
He would have lived, right?
Mister, you shouldn't hide
anything from your parents.
These are very bad times.
Only parents give support,
children don't do it.
Anyway, what do you want?
I don't want anything.
Doesn't your daughter make musicals?
Yes, so?
She is standing at the
main bus depot with luggage.
She is running away to
Mumbai without informing you..
..to become a heroine.
Chhotu, look after the shop.
I will be back in a minute.
Why is Gopal Sheth acting like Milkha?
Has his daughter run away?
They left a long time ago.
They still haven't returned.
I wonder if Annu has started to smoke.
Every time you send them to
the market they take half an hour.
When will they bring medicine
and when will I lie down?
So much of work is pending.
Are you listening?
Yes, yes.
I will scold them when they return.
Look, they have returned.
Were you busy making
milk cake at the shop?
What were you doing all this while?
- Speak up.
- Well?
Mother, I want to tell you something.
Speak up.
- Father, to you too.
- Speak up.
Last night my result was declared, so..
I have failed. I could not pass.
'Expectations.
Expectations have made human beings..'
'..reach the moon.'
'But everybody doesn't
want to go to the moon.'
'Some people's expectations
remain around their homes only.'
'These expectations make up
a story and the end of the story.'
'For example,
at the end of the parents' story..'
'..their expectation
of Annu becoming an officer.'
'And in Annu's story,
his parents being angry on his failure.'
'But some things are separate
from expectations and stories.'
"The end of the story
doesn't affect certain things.'
I rushed here as soon as I came to know.
Only neighbours can be
of help to neighbours, right?
By the way, what happened to you?
It is nothing. I was a bit unwell.
I did extra work so my
blood pressure became low.
Try taking Hempushpa.
Two spoons morning and evening.
What was the need to bring apples?
No, no, these are not for you.
They are for my brother.
Today is 'Raksha Bandhan' so
I am going to tie 'Rakhi' (thread).
One doesn't go empty-handed, right?
In any case,
my sister-in-law is very angry with me.
Why?
You don't know?
At my brother's wedding his
sisters-in-law stole his shoes.
I was the groom's sister.
I stole sister-in-law's slippers.
I see. So she is angry with
you because stole her slippers.
No, no, she had already left on foot.
There was cow dung on the road.
She stepped into it.
She slipped and fractured her bone.
She still limps.
But God knows why she is angry with me.
- Really?
- Yes.
There is WhatsApp message.
'Rakhi' is till four o'clock today.
It is already three o'clock.
- What?
- Oh.
I am leaving, Annu's mother,
otherwise just like last year..
..I will have to tie
'Rakhi' on the road only.
Sister-in-law didn't
let me enter the house.
I won't be able to
tie 'Rakhi' to my brother.
Why is Annu sulking?
- It is nothing. His stomach is upset.
- Yes.
- You may go. You are getting late.
- Yes.
Annu's mother,
do protect him against evil eye.
During festivals people
do get affected by evil eye.
- Our Biddu..
- Aunt, it is already three o'clock.
Yes, I am leaving.
Annu!
Annu!
Annu dear.
Hey, Annu.
Father, I am coming.
Father, please forgive me.
I have again disappointed you.
Earlier I could not clear
engineering and this time SSC.
It is not that I did not work hard.
I did work hard.
I used to study throughout the night.
I had written full paper in the test.
I had done everything
but I don't know why..
- Hey, hey.
- I..
Why are you being so sentimental?
You have failed. Your life is not over.
You are talking as if you
will go directly to the terrace..
..and commit suicide fro there.
You will have to jump four times to die.
It is good that I haven't
built another floor.
- You both are..
- We both are what?
I mean aren't you angry
with me because I have failed?
No, we are angry.
Of course we are angry.
But son, success and
failure will always be there.
So why had she fainted?
Why had you fainted?
Did I faint because of you?
I was not feeling well.
My blood pressure was low so I fainted.
I know that it is very difficult
to pass SSC at first attempt.
Duggal's son had made four attempts.
After that he attached a
certificate of being handicapped.
Then he passed.
Yours was the first attempt.
You used to keep on telling me..
..that you will take me
to task if I didn't succeed.
You will take me to
task if I didn't succeed.
Can't the parents even say anything?
- What is it called, negative mo..mo..
- Negative motivation.
Don't you understand
negative motivation?
Prepare well this time
and clear the test next time.
What if I can't clear it the next time?
Then you can open a tea stall.
We know that it is
beyond your capacity..
..to become the prime
minister while selling tea..
..but I do know that your
tea stall will become a landmark.
People will say,
turn right from Annu's shop..
..turn left from Annu's shop.
You are a hard working person.
You will surely achieve something
or the other in your life.
We are worried about this one.
Whole day he keeps wasting time.
Useless boy.
Annu.
Son. Come. Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Don't worry.
We won't let you open a tea stall.
Prepare well this time.
You will clear it.
And parents can bear everything..
..but they cannot
see their children being unhappy.
That reminds me.
You must have seen Three Idiots.
But we have seen Secret
Superstar along with Three Idiots.
It was being shown on TV the other day.
Tell us if you want
to follow some passion.
Well? Shall I buy a guitar for you?
Brighten up your mood.
Aunt will be coming in an hour.
Take bath.
Why your mouth always smells
betel nut and chewing gum?
Annu, have you begun to smoke?
Tell me.
Father, the delivery man has come.
Had you ordered something?
He must have brought the dress.
He is asking for money.
Do you have some money?
I paid those 2000 rupees
to the doctor for your treatment.
The bank will also be closed.
I don't have money. Withdraw from ATM.
I have got money. I will give it.
The ATM nearby is out of order..
..and it will take long time
to go to the ATM on the bridge..
..so let me check.
At least you have been of some use.
I do a lot for the three of you.
Only I know about it.
'It is an old human habit.'
'To start thinking about
the end of the story..'
'..in the middle of the story.'
'And to become restless
if the end of the story..'
'..is different from
what you had imagined.'
'But it is not necessary
that you can imagine..'
'..the ends of all the stories.'
'Some things are beyond
expectations and stories.'
'Some things don't depend
on the end of the story.'
Because..
"When life was a piggybank of memories."
"It was a piggybank.
"It was a piggybank.
"This life was a piggybank of memories."
"It was a piggybank.
"It was a piggybank.
"Sometimes it was hide
and sometimes it was seek."
"Sometimes it was twisted."
"It was a bit arrogant,
it was a bit difficult."
"But we had jumped and grabbed it."
"It was a bit wet, it was a bit dry."
"Sometimes it was happy,
sometimes it was sad."
"It was cardamom if it was crushed."
"It was ginger if it was grated."
"When life was a piggybank of memories."
"It was a piggybank.
"It was a piggybank.
"When life was a piggybank of memories."
"It was a piggybank.
"It was a piggybank.
'Fate. Do you understand fate?
Destiny.'
'It is the fate of a piggybank
to enter someone's house.'
'To become a part of the
expectations of the house.'
'And then to break.'
- What is the cost of this piggybank?
- 50 rupees.
'Okay, so what was I saying?'
'Some things are different
from expectations and stories.'
'And these things are the tales.'
'For example the tale of the scooty.'
'The tale of Bittu's mother's tricks.'
'The tale of building this house.'
'The tale of the fight
between mother and father.'
'The tale of brother Annu's failing.'
'The tale of Aman making chart.'
'The tale of the strange activities
going on in the neighbourhood.'
'The tale of a piggybank coming
into a house and then breaking.'
'Because these tales become memories.'
'And then they accumulate
to become tales'..'
