They say he's a Sardar (Sikh).
Bullshit.
He's a Rajput.
- Sardar! - Oh, Rajput.
His surname suggested Sardar.
Why are you conflicted between Rajput and Sardar?
He is one of us.
He rose from the dust.
The radio guy was saying,
the shot where he swings the bat around,
is called a helicopter shot.
Listen.
Yes.
We are almost there.
I've covered my face.
- Be ready. - Yeah.
Yeah.
Quick! Quick!
An explosion should be only as loud as it needs to be.
ANFO.
Ammonium nitrate and fuel oil.
It's safer than dynamite,
and cheaper too.
We usually prepare it
mixing 94% ammonium nitrate and 6% fuel oil.
Mines all over the world are using this.
Explosives don't just have to be effective.
They need to be safe too.
This is safe to handle,
and twice as lethal when charged up.
Shall we call the bomb squad, sir?
"There are several like us, but..."
"There is no one like Jassi."
Mom, listen. Should I put this up here?
Wear this sari and get ready quickly.
The boy's family has left Gaya.
And don't forget to wear the necklace.
It looks good on you.
Mom, I don't want to meet any boy.
This matches with the sari, doesn't it?
Wear this too.
- I-- - I have spoken to them,
about your further studies.
Feel free to ask any question you have.
I am very busy--
I said I don't want to meet any guy anymore?
What do you want to do then?
Embarrass your parents in the society?
I will get married.
- But it will be my choice-- - I know your choice.
And soon everyone will Jehanabad will find out.
Get ready quietly.
I don't want any arguments!
But...
What have I done to embarrass everyone?
I said I don't want any arguments.
Listen.
Have your breakfast!
But what have I done,
to slander yours and father's reputation?
- Do you really want to hear? - Yes, I do.
Decent girls don't stay out late with their teacher.
Isn't he Ayesha and Deepti's teacher too?
Why, only you have the nerve to go out with him?
Yes, I do!
I like Abhimanyu sir.
And I...
will marry him.
Let me make one thing clear, Kasturi.
I won't let you marry some random guy.
What do you know about him?
All under the influence of English films--
And you can judge anyone in five minutes.
If the guy belongs to our caste, then he's a good guy indeed.
You guys decide in a single meeting,
that I should marry him and go sit on his lap.
And the same cycle all over.
Cook-clean, bear children.
Have sex at your husband's will, whether you want it or not.
Did I say anything wrong, mom?
Isn't this the only duty of a daughter now?
Just like you did your duty.
You wanted to become a doctor, but could you?
We won't wish ill for you, child.
I know, papa.
But the way you two raised me,
I can judge what's right or wrong for myself.
So when it's time to make a crucial decision for my life,
why can't you two trust me?
I have made up my mind.
I will definitely marry Abhimanyu sir.
But feel free to showcase me to all the guys you want.
You shouldn't have slapped her.
I never stopped your mother from continuing her studies.
But my opinion didn't matter much before your grandfather.
Then you were born,
and your mother quit everything to raise you.
There is nothing wrong with what you said.
But you see, these are the norms.
And it never really created trouble.
So everything seems fool-proof.
Papa, he is very nice.
You know, I am naturally happy around him.
And that's the kind of guy I always wanted.
Someone with whom I can be myself.
Does he know you...like...
I did tell him.
But did he say it too?
I know he will say yes.
See, child...
learn to respect the feelings of those you love.
- If he won't-- - I will ask him.
But what if he says yes?
Huh?
What if he says yes?
Then I will convince your mother.
The English professor?
As far as I know...
he seems to be a decent guy.
So?
The missus won't budge.
Can you do me a favour, Nandu?
Ask for my seat and it'll be yours.
Find out anything you can about Abhimanyu Singh,
his background, family, property in Patna.
See if you can find out anything.
Is that all?
I will have his entire biodata.
Try the sautéed cottage cheese.
It's made from the milk of our own cow.
Bring it up.
Higher.
Higher. That's it!
- Yes, sir. - Durgesh.
I have an urgent job for you.
What is it, sir?
You know Abhimanyu Singh, The English professor.
Yes.
Find out everything about him.
I want every little detail.
Consider it done.
Seems like a stolen bike, sir.
I'll cross-reference the number plates.
And conduct a raid in the neighbouring areas.
Alert the force.
Yes, sir.
Paper. Check his papers.
What's in it?
Open it.
Where are you coming from?
Sir, Ranchi.
I am a labourer at the cigarette factory.
The contractor has called us.
Are the papers clear?
Yes, sir. All clear.
Okay.
Let them go.
Sit in the front.
Hello. Guruji.
We are here.
Yes.
Vishnu. Shaukat. Bihari. Pramod.
We five will recce the CRPF camp tomorrow.
The camp is here.
Aren't we supposed to attack the Parbatganj police camp?
And we will attack the Parbatganj police camp.
The CRPF camp is just a diversion.
To divert everyone's attention to the CRPF camp.
Understood?
Here you go.
Abhimanyu Singh's entire biodata.
Take a good look.
Absolutely clean character.
A decent boy.
His parents passed away when he was a kid.
So no in-laws either,
except for an uncle in Patna.
But he's not from our caste, brother.
But he is from my caste, correct, sister?
So?
What if Kasturi had fallen for some from a lower caste?
According to me, he's a decent boy.
Gudiya likes him too.
The rest is for you to decide.
Take a look.
Wait here.
Hello.
I am Kasturi's mother.
Yes?
Can I come inside?
Good morning, sir.
Sir, I...
Kasturi, it's a library.
Sorry, sir.
Sir, I had a question.
I am busy right now.
You can ask your questions during class hours.
Okay, sir. I'll ask then. It's the next one.
Focus on yourself.
And if you trouble sir, I will slap you.
Sir, they...
Sorry.
Good morning, sir.
Sit down.
So did you guys write your note on The Twelfth Night?
Who else?
Good.
Submit your registers here.
I will check it later.
Today, we speak about Jane Austen.
How many of you have read pride and prejudice?
Good.
We understand the basic difference between,
how the bard wrote and how Jane Austen writes.
He isn't even looking this way.
Did you say something to upset him?
Sir.
Sir!
Are you ignoring me?
Right now I have a first-year class.
If you have any questions regarding the syllabus,
meet me later in the staff room.
Sir, I--
Sir, do you love me?
Kasturi, focus on your studies.
You have your entire life ahead of you for these things.
Did you talk to him?
These things take time, papa.
We haven't talked yet.
I will tell you when we do.
"Eyes like monsoon clouds,"
"Tears falling like raindrops."
"Makes me digress when she winks her eyes."
"As you shake that lovely waist..."
"Bravo, sweetheart."
"As you shake that lovely waist..."
What is this?
Don't you get it?
I don't.
What do you want to hear?
Is it a yes or no?
Whatever it is.
Fine.
You are just a student to me, that's it.
Okay.
"As you shake that lovely waist..."
"Bravo, sweetheart."
"As you shake that lovely waist..."
Turn down the volume, Mr. Dinkar! We are not on a picnic here!
"...she winks her eyes."
Mom.
When can we meet the guy from Gaya?
You tell us, child.
They have been waiting for you.
Call them whenever convenient for you.
Sonu.
Call them.
You call them.
Have you lost your mind?
Just because he said no,
will you marry any random guy?
Let him know, that a guy's family is coming over in the evening.
Something is holding him back.
He will definitely show up after hearing this news.
And what if he doesn't?
Hello?
Kasturi is getting married.
What?
His mother came to see me.
She clearly refused.
Did you tell Kasturi?
No.
You candidly say anything with me.
Why are you taking so long with her?
I am confused about what to do.
I'll have to think of something else.
Don't think.
Just do one thing.
Talk to uncle,
and let him come with the proposal.
Everything will be sorted when the adults talk it out.
Hurry up with whatever you want to do.
Otherwise it might be too late.
"It's broken."
"Yet the heart doesn't know."
"Feeling dismayed."
"The heart doesn't listen."
- Hello. - Did you talk to Kasturi?
Hello?
Eat something, Kasturi.
I hate seeing you like this.
Yes, dear.
And didn't you say,
if he isn't concerned about you, then why should you be this way?
I gave my heart to the wrong person.
"The moments spent together makes me heart skip a beat."
Have you guys eaten?
"How do I pull myself together?"
"I am completely shattered."
"Why didn't you realise?"
"I am not separate from you."
"It's broken."
"Yet the heart doesn't know."
Uncle.
I must tell you something.
Any calls from Gaya?
I like them.
Did you go meet Abhimanyu?
Why didn't you tell me?
I tell you everything.
Are you blind or you don't want to see?
Kasturi hasn't been eating properly.
I told Kasturi to go speak with Abhimanyu.
- But-- - I haven't done anything wrong.
I never questioned you for anything.
But I will today.
In this trial of caste and community,
You've topped the class.
Yes.
I am her mother.
Not her enemy.
I see.
Then you must have told Kasturi,
that you are going to meet Abhimanyu.
Sonu!
"In the ocean of love, the tide flows against us."
"One who takes a plunge, emerges in love."
"My body and soul's overwhelmed by love...o beloved."
"Beautifully, I have dipped in your tint."
"Not once my heart is able to let go of your thought."
"You've been intricately woven in my life."
"Can't break apart from you now."
"Every moment feels like love."
"Can't think of anything except you."
"Just can't focus on anything."
"O beloved..."
"You never come to me on your own."
Stop there.
