1000 Rupee Note (Ek Hazarachi Note)

This one is beyond repair, Budhi. Buy a new one.

Tell me, what will you take to fix the toehold?

At least one rupee.

Do it for half a rupee. All it will take is a small nail to fix it.

Take this back. Does anyone work for half a rupee these days?

Making such outlandish requests...

Here. Take half a rupee.

Forget it. Have a cup of tea on me.

A cup of tea for half a rupee? You think we live in Mughal times?

You have that tea yourself instead.

Jitya, why are you playing at this hour? Do you want to be bitten by a scorpion?

It will rain soon! Run along inside.

Jitya.

Didn't I tell you not to go out in the evening?

This brat doesn't listen to anyone!

Come on, let's go inside!

Mother, I'll come back in a bit.

Why are you going out in the rain, Hanmantya? Wait for a while and then go.

The skies are as impatient as you.

It's pouring alright.

I'll go see the moneylender and see what he says about our debt.

Go later!

He's no different than his father.

-Hey, Sudama. Are you up already? -Budhi, I'm coming for some tea!

Come later. I'll be right back!

Yeshwantya, please pack two rupees' worth of jaggery for me...

and a matchbox too.

Where can you buy jaggery for two rupees?

Look at her, big spender!

Oh, Shevanti. Let me have some fresh milk for two rupees.

Mala! Go give Budhi some milk.

Here.

Hey, fluffy-bread. Buy some fluffy-bread.

Shoo! You think this milk is for you? Go away! Get lost!

Hey, Ahmed!

Give me two fluffy-breads. Pick nice soft ones. Not the hard ones.

This old woman can't eat hard bread now.

As soft as fresh butter. Dip it in your tea and it will sail down your throat.

Why would I give you hard bread?

Fluffy-bread. Buy some fluffy-bread!

Looks like you're making some tea. Can I come join you, Budhi?

How come you always know when I'm making tea?

Yeah, come and have a cup.

Or else I'll have a stomachache all day.

Here, have some.

I'll just have the tea. Save the fluffy-bread.

Have some. I don't feel like eating alone.

It tastes better with company.

Please have some.

Budhi.

Your hands have become so rough. Why don't you put some milk cream on them?

They're rough like jackfruit skin.

Let it be.

Am I Madhuri Dixit? Do I have to act in movies?

Drink your tea.

Budhi, who needs fluffy-bread when I have tea made by you?

The tea you make is always so delicious.

Then why don't you have tea there every day?

Why bother drinking two full cups of tea at home every day?

On top of that, he goes around telling everyone how fantastic Budhi's tea is.

He tells Budhi to put cream on her hands.

And what about his wife who toils all day?

This man pays no heed to that!

Boy, take care of her.

Tell her you say you like my tea only to make me happy.

Don't ride my high horse with her or one day you'll get a broken back.

Look at this childishness!

What tea! What slurping!

Hey! Don't you have to graze the goats?

Or you gonna spend all day drinking tea with Budhi?

Here, put some cream on your wife's hand.

Let it be, Budhi.

Do it, please. She's a real sweet person.

Go now.

Miss?

-It rained heavily last night. -Yeah.

Did it leak in your house?

It leaked a little, but I put a bucket under it.

There's some bread left from last night. Take them home with you, Parvati.

The boys of the house won't touch stale food.

Parvati, do the rest of the utensils later. Eat first.

Okay.

Are you back, Budhi?

Yes, dear.

I'm really tired. There were many pots and pans to clean today.

What do they care?

All pots must be washed.

As if there's a feast every day!

Then you must rest today. Don't light your stove tonight!

How come?

Are you inviting me to dinner at your place?

Your wife will drive you out of the house!

Yeah, as if I'm your number one enemy.

The two of you have your joke and cause pain in my stomach.

Two women, wherever or whenever they meet, must fight!

Both time and place are irrelevant.

Wait, I'll come over to your side.

Okay, come here!

Budhi, there's an election meeting tonight.

Mr. Uttamrao is coming. They will give us dinner there.

When's the speech?

Once people gather they'll give the speech.

Since there's dinner, people will come.

Or else why would anyone come to an election speech?

We'll go after the evening news. See you then.

Today another suicide by a farmer was reported in Vidarbha.

Hanumant Pawar, a young farmer from Phoolumbari in Yavatmal,

committed suicide by hanging himself.

The moneylender's refusal to disburse additional funds

unless old ones were repaid was cited as the reason.

The district collector, however, refused to confirm or deny

if the cause of suicide was the moneylender's denial.

Once your husband's cremation is over, you start packing your things.

You come back home with me.

Bring whatever is yours-- rings, money, jewelry.

You can't stay with the old woman for the rest of your life.

You're lucky that you have no kids. I'll find you another husband.

-But then what will become of her? -She'll go where her fate takes her.

Budhi.

Hey, Budhi.

Come on.

Eat something.

Come to my house.

The one who had to depart has left this world.

Do you want to die of starvation?

Do this for me.

Come eat some bread.

Please come.

-Sudama? -Yes?

Is today Independence Day?

Why are they playing Gandhi's song?

Budhi, it's a song for the elections.

Who cares about Gandhi nowadays?

Now that they're playing the song, it means the speaker is on his way.

It's almost 8:00. Not a dog in sight.

We must go get people to come or else the boss will get mad at us.

Come on, hurry up.

You're getting made up as if going to a wedding party!

You look very nice. Come now!

Come on, let's go!

Wait, here. Put this in your hair.

We don't get invited to a speech and dinner very often.

Budhi, come on now, let's go.

-Give me some! -Give me some!

Sudama, where you off to?

And you, Budhi? Won't you come to the election meeting?

That's where we're headed.

What about you?

Come sit then.

-In the car? -Where else?

Budhi, you come sit in the front.

Sudama, you and the family sit in the back.

When do you think the speaker will come?

Shut up and sit quietly. Or you wanna go plow your field now?

These pebbles are hurting my butt.

How much longer? I came because of the dinner!

I can't see any arrangements to serve food.

-Were they bluffing? -Must be somewhere in the back.

Where has Budhi disappeared to?

Didn't she get out of the car with us?

Or did she go back home?

She must be around somewhere. Why do you worry so much about her?

Go see where Grandma is.

Dad, Grandma didn't get out of the car.

She didn't get out?

This Budhi is impossible.

Who knows where she wandered off to?

-Why'd they bring a cow here? -Who knows?

Perhaps they're going to put cow milk in the tea.

You fool! The cow's their election symbol!

Good, at least she got free fodder.

We get a free meal, she gets free fodder.

Mr. Uttamrao will arrive here in five minutes.

Please do patiently listen to what he has to say.

After that please have dinner, and only then go home.

This Budhi is just too much!

You too are no less!

-Huh? -Why were you worrying so much about her?

You didn't even notice the flower in my hair bun.

Budhi, Budhi, all the while!

It looks lovely.

Hey, Budhi! Come here!

-Uttamrao Jadhav! -May he live a long life!

-Uttamrao Jadhav! -May he be victorious!

-Uttamrao Jadhav! -May he live a long life!

-Uttamrao Jadhav! -May he be victorious!

-Uttamrao Jadhav! -May he live a long life!

Budhi, shout the slogans!

-Uttamrao Jadhav! -May he be victorious!

-Uttamrao Jadhav! -May he live a long life!

Our beloved leader, Mr. Uttamrao Jadhav, will say a few words.

-Uttamrao Jadhav! -May he live a long life!

My dear brothers and sisters, who've gathered here in such large numbers.

I stand before you in this lovely Phoolumbari village.

I have come to seek your blessings.

Why? Because you'd blessed me during the last elections.

All of you already know that our country is in dire straits.

There's corruption all over.

And to protest, Anna Hazare went on a hunger strike in Delhi.

You must have seen that on TV.
