"Hail the daughter of the mountain, who makes the whole earth happy,"
"the one who makes the universe rejoice and is praised by Nandi,"
"the one who dwells on the peak of the great Mount Vindhya,"
"the one who gives joy to Vishnu and is praised by Lord Indra."
"Hail Goddess Bhagwati, the consort of the blue-necked Shiva,"
"the one who has many families and has created everything."
"Victory to the destroyer of Mahishasura,"
"the one who has beautiful hair"
"and is the daughter of the Himalayas.
"Hail the bestower of boons on Gods"
"and slayer of demons,"
"the one who nourishes the three worlds..."
No matter how many routes we change
and ignore the signs.
No matter what we decide
or do as we please.
Everything happens
as per the Goddess's will.
"Hail Goddess Jagdamba, who is the mother of all,"
"who loves to dwell in a forest of 'kadamba' trees and amidst joy,"
"who abides in the lofty peaks of the Himalayas."
"The one who is..."
Now, only four hours are left.
And you are already here.
Now, he will also be here soon.
"I bow to the Lord..."
"Glory to the Goddess..."
Where is Anu? Anu! - There.
Anu! - Anu!
Wait. I will bring her.
Anu.
Come on.
Come on. Walk carefully.
Hey! Arya!
He is here!
Where is he?
Anu, here.
'Mr Aryavardhan'
It seems he is the trustee of this temple.
Wow! We come across him wherever we go nowadays.
Let me call him.
He might know people here, right?
We won't have to stand in the queue. - Mom, wait.
You won't do that. Please.
But my legs will ache if I climb these stairs and wait in a queue.
We only find joy in praying to the Goddess after enduring this pain.
You said our prayers would be answered
only if we prayed with devotion, right?
But... - Pushpa.
Listen. Anu is right. No shortcut in praying.
Come on. Give this to me. Let's go.
Walk carefully and slowly.
This honest man and his daughter
always make sure I work hard.
They test me even more than the Goddess.
Hello! Security! Is anyone there? Hello!
The lift is out of order.
There's no network on our phones.
Neither is anyone listening to the alarm.
How will we stop Arya from going to the temple?
Mom and dad, I think we should take a cable car.
I am here to pray to the Goddess
for my daughter's bright future.
If I climb these stairs, She will surely answer my prayers.
Let's book the cable car for your mom.
Yes. That's a good idea.
Whose daughter is she? - Ours.
Then, why will only you climb the stairs?
I will also come with you. I will also climb the stairs.
Look, Pushpa. Your condition...
Nothing will happen to me. - Hail the Goddess!
Hail the Goddess! - Hail the Goddess!
If they can bear this pain for their families, why can't I?
I will also climb the stairs.
Let's hail the Goddess who mounts on the lion!
Hail the Goddess!
- Hail the Goddess!
Hail the Goddess!
"He crosses it to reach Her..."
"Hail the Goddess..."
'In three hours, 24 hours will be complete.'
'There is no chance of meeting him.'
'But I am still hopeful.'
'Why do I still feel he will be here?'
'Was seeing his name here a sign?'
'No. I shouldn't have any false hopes.'
'Now, there's no chance.'
'The Goddess can change your fate even within three seconds.'
Hail the Goddess! - Hail the Goddess!
'Goddess, I hope Harsh recovers soon'
'and Arya is blessed with happiness in his life.'
Greetings. - Greetings.
We want to perform the puja.
Sure. - Here you go, sir.
Greetings.
- Sorry, ma'am.
A family is already praying to the Goddess.
You can pray to the Goddess after them.
It's okay.
Let them offer their prayers. We will wait here.
Why, mom?
What's the point in donating millions to this temple
if we also have to wait in a queue like others?
I'll talk to them. Wait.
Mansi!
Hello, sir. Greetings.
Greetings, ma'am! You are here!
Oh, wow! Very nice! You recognised me!
I hope you remember that my family is the trustee of this temple.
We donate a lot of money to this temple.
Ma'am, I... - Wait.
Please tell them that they'll have to wait.
Because we will offer prayers to the Goddess first.
Miss Donation!
We came here first. So, we will pray to the Goddess first.
Excuse me. - Ma'am.
Please be respectful. Don't you know who she is?
Yes. I heard what she just said.
She is the trustee of this temple.
Was she telling that to us or the Goddess?
It is said that we should do good and forget about it.
But this woman believes
that we should do good and boast about it.
Listen! - You listen to me, Miss Donation.
The Goddess doesn't differentiate between the rich and the poor.
She treats everyone equally. They are all the same to her.
Mom, please... - Keep quiet. Let me talk to her.
Listen, ma'am.
I am asking you to move aside very politely.
Otherwise... - Otherwise, what?
What will you do?
Do whatever you can.
I will move aside only after offering prayers to the Goddess.
Nice! I know how to handle people like you.
Sir, call the security.
Yes, go on. Call the security.
Ma'am, you are... - Wait, Mansi.
There's no need for that. And you...
No one can predict what the Goddess wants.
She entangles relationships
and also untangles them.
She invokes hope in people
and brings them together.
Mom, I have been saying something to them,
but they won't... - Mansi!
They will offer prayers to the Goddess first.
But mom, we are the trustees of this temple.
No, Mansi. We are just devotees right now.
And before a devotee enters the Goddess's abode,
he should leave his pride and arrogance outside the temple
with his slippers.
Because the Goddess treats everyone equally.
That's what I have been trying to explain to her.
But she won't get it.
You are very sensible.
Thank you.
Please continue with your puja. - Yes. Thank you.
Now, make a wish.
"You are the auspicious one,"
"the bestower of all desires, the refuge of all."
"You possess supreme wisdom and beauty."
"Salutations to You, the power divine."
'Goddess, You have always been kind to us.'
'You saved us from every trouble. Please be kind to us one more time.'
'Please get Anu married into a decent family.'
'It's okay if they're not wealthy. I mean, extremely wealthy.'
'But they should be respectable and keep Anu happy.'
'She should treat her like their own daughter.'
'Goddess, what I have earned in life'
'is my daughter, Anu.'
'Please make sure she doesn't go away from me.'
'Please save her job and stop her transfer.'
'Goddess, thank You so much.'
'I always dreamt of becoming'
'financially capable and taking my parents to places.'
'I am glad my dream came true.'
'I managed to bring them here. Thank You.'
'I have one more dream. I know it is impossible to fulfil it.'
'But only You can fulfil that dream.'
'24 hours will be over within an hour. But what do I do?'
'Coming here has made me hopeful again.'
'I don't know why I feel that even if it is impossible,'
'You'll bring him in front of me.'
'Please don't let my faith in You shatter.'
'Because if I lose faith in You, I will be shattered.'
The one you had been waiting for is here, my child.
Anu!
What happened? - Nothing, dad.
Your puja has concluded.
Anu, take the holy offering
and give it to her first.
She had to wait because of us.
No... Enough.
We don't let our daughters touch our feet.
Some people seem very familiar to you.
Or maybe you've heard about them before.
You made me feel the same.
May all your wishes come true.
Thanks.
Thank you.
Thank you for letting us pray first.
I only did the right thing.
We shall take your leave now.
Sir, are you okay?
What happened to the lift?
Sorry, sir. There was an issue with the control system.
It shouldn't happen again. Got it?
Yes, sir. - You may go.
Meera, are you okay?
Forget about me. Call Arya.
We must stop him from going to the temple.
Listen. We made the offering. - Yes.
But we forgot to collect the receipts for our neighbours.
We can collect it from here.
Okay. Let's collect it.
Anu, distribute the holy offering in the meantime.
We will be back. - Come on.
Yes, Jhende. - Sir, where are you?
Jhende, I am at the temple.
Sir, listen to me carefully. The temple you are at...
Jhende, I can't hear you right now. I'll call you later.
Sir, the temple you are at...
What? Jhende, I'll call you later.
'After stepping out of this cabin, we won't meet each other,'
'or talk to each other'
'or try to contact each other for 24 hours.'
'If destiny and Goddess make us meet despite everything,'
'you will have to accept'
'that there is some relationship between us.'
