Saugandh (सौगंध)

Please don't kill anyone. Take what you want, I'd give you willingly.

Any bride who passes this way must spend her nuptial night with us.

- She's going into Sarangfs territory. - Never mind.

I shall not tolerate misbehaviour.

Forgive me this once. I shall never trespass into your territory.

Those that trespass into my territory walk into the den of the lion.

They may come in, but never return.

Stop! Stop right there!

If cowards like you who cannot preserve the honor of your women...

...step on my lands, this land will turn interfile.

Stay over there. I'll get her married and send her to you.

Had it not been for you, Sir, I would have lost my honor.

I've not been able to express my gratitude for what you've done.

I come here to garland you and honor you in the presence of everyone.

I shall not accept this garland.

- Why? - This is a garland of mere flowers.

I wouldn't even take a garland strung with the heads of my enemies.

Because the head must be bowed to accept a garland.

I, Chowdhary Sarang, do not like to bow my head. Be what reason there be.

A gift from me, for your feet.

I respect feet that can at least run for the sake of honor.

Now you must step on these flowers before you leave (sign of respect).

That was a respectable sending-off for a bride.

As far as glamourous send-offs are concerned, wait till you've seen...

...Chand gets married. I'll give my sister the grandest of send-offs.

"They'll forget Laila; they'll forget Majnu," (legendary lovers).

"Lovers in future will swear love by us"

"We'll teach the world all about love"

"Our names will be written on every page of the book of love"

"Our deeds will be etched forever in the minds of people"

"Till such time that the moon and the stars shine and flowers blossom"

"In many lives, me shall meet each other on earth"

"The fragrance of love we shall spread over blossoms"

Please serve lunch, Ganga. We're very hungry.

How much longer will you keep us hungry?

Till such time that Shiva doesn't arrive.

Shiva comes so late these days.

We're very hungry. Please serve lunch, sister-In-law.

- You're very hungry are you? - Yes, lam.

Then, drink water.

Here comes your spoiled child.

Will you please serve lunch now?

It's not right of you to starve all of us for the sake of Shiva.

I won't even give food to my own child before Shiva has eaten.

You speak as if your children are already playing in the backyard.

Only a few months now, Pinky, before a child arrives.

- Really, sister-in-law! - Is that true, sister-in-law?

Won't she feel embarrassed if you ask such questions?

I'll fill this villa with toys when my nephew arrives.

And I'll play horse for him all the time.

- Really? - Yes.

If you're going to play “horse" for him all the time...

-...when will you find time for her? - For her? Who are you talking of?

For the one to whom this nose-ring belongs.

- Nose-ring! But... - Tell me, who's the girl you love'?

- Who are you speaking of? - So you're telling me a lie!

- Djrou want me to tell you'? - Tell me quick.

Shall I tell you...) well all right, I'll tell you.

Her name is Chand. She's Chowdhary Sarang's younger sister.

- Chanel! - Yes, brotherm?

Even birds return to their nests by evening. Where have you been so long?

He's anxious when you're late. He's sent all servants to look for you.

Where is your nose-ring?

It must have fallen off somewhere in the fields.

Never mind. You may go.

Have the entire estate searched thoroughly.

My sister's nose ring has been lost.

I do not want that anyone should even chance to tread over it.

- What If someone has picked It up? - Bheema I

If anyone has picked it up, kill him!

We've been searching the whole day. There's no sign of the nose-ring.

Go on searching till you find it! Go on!

Why are you standing here on the hilltop?

Its just that I'd happened to come here.

And seen from a height, distances sometimes seem to diminish...

...and differences, sometimes, stand out so clearly.

- I do not understand, - Differences distance us, Chand.

Will your brother, the owner of such large estates, agree...

...to give his sister to a family of farmers like us?

The fate of our love is sealed, Chaand.

- And what does take decree? - Separation!

No! That can't be. Our love will be requited either in union or in death.

If you've found the nose-ring, Chaand is your sister, just as she is mine.

And if you have not, I'll bury you in the same soil...

Where Chaand's nose-ring lies hidden.

It would've surely been found, had it been lost, Sir.

I think she has given it to someone.

I have seen her with my own eyes, in a loving embrace with Shiva.

Why did you have do shoot him?

The tongue doesn't stop wagging...

...whetherm in front of me, or in front of others.

- What ever did he tell you? - Something I cannot even imagine of.

What has happened? say something at leastl!

I cannot being myself to narrate what has happened.

But whatever it is, it has happened for the first time in our family.

- Chaandl - What ls It brothefl

Answer a question of mine.

Tell me, which is the most valuable ornament that a man can possess?

Why don't you tell me what it is?

The Rakish (Ceremonial-string a sister ties on her brother's right wrist)

When you were born, I was happy thinking that...

...the Goddess of wealth has come.

And that I'd receive a Rakish from you.

Little did I know that you'd consign me to the living dead.

And that you'd forget that one mustn't tie a Rakish on the dead.

- I don't understand, Brother. - And neither do I understand this.

I'd heard that the moon is only eclipsed.

But I didn't know the moon (Chand) seeks shameless pleasures.

Tell me, which desire of yours is it, that I've left unfulfilled?

I've laid my heart at your feet.

Tell me, tell me for the sake of the sacred Rakish...

...where my love for you as your brother has failed...

...that you have brought such dishonour upon me?

I could never have imagined that my own blood would betray me.

- I want do shoot myself. - It's not a crime to love, is it?

Had love not been a crime, women wouldn't have to wear veils...

and people would never build high walls around their houses.

And, if love were not a crime, you wouldn't have done it secretly.

A mother gives birth to her child secretly. Is that a crime?

She hides her child while suckling. Is that a crime?

Even God stays hidden. Is that too a crime, Brother?

The strength of a man is his eyes.

The strength of a woman lies in her tongue.

For the first time in your life, you stand before me...

...not in a trial of love, but in a trial of strength.

You may have changed your attitude, but I stand unwavered.

I shall cleanse my honor with no less than a blood bath!

- Put the broken glass together. - Broken glass can't be put together!

So also can broken honor never be put together!

If a man loses character, a single generation is lost.

When a single woman loses character, many generations are destroyed!

Stop! Stop? If you shoot her, people will speak even more.

It'd be best to get her married off?

D'you mean to say that I should knowingly pass off a rotten egg?

- Yes. - A selfish and greedy man would"

- Chowdhary Sarang can never do that! - I shall do it then.

Ganga has told me everything. It'd be better if you forget Chand.

You're inviting your own death by falling in love with her.

- Better forget her. - I cannot forget her.

As far as Chowdhary Sarang is concerned, he's no God...

that he may kill anyone or let anyone live according to his wishes.

Don't be depressed, Shiva. I'll go and meet him personally.

Who knows, he might even accept the proposal.

I will go to meet Chowdhary myself.

I don't mind being insulted by one. who won't even accept a garland.

- You! - My brother knows about us.

He wants to get me married off somewhere else.

So I've left everything behind, and come to you.

You shouldn't have come like this. People in our society won't like it.

Women who run away at night are taunted by day.

Its the death for them.

You will certainly come into this household. You certainly will.

But we want to receive Chowdhary Sarang's Sister...

...with formal honours.

I shall go to meet Chowdhary tomorrow and speak of an alliance.

Don't worry, my child. Come, I shall escort you home.

Our daughters leave their paternal homes in marriage processions...

...and leave the homes of their in-laws after death.

You've tried to break the tradition.

You've tried to create a new tradition, Chand.

That is something Chowdhary Sarang can ever tolerate.

No! Chowdhary, don't! She's innocent! Don't do it to her.

- She is your sister Chowdhary. - Yes! She is my sister!

A sister who was the light of my eyes.

The sister who is now a tear dropped from my eye.

And a tear that has dropped can never come back.

Don't say such things. They haven't done anything wrong.

They have loved each other.

And love is the greatest gift from God.

If love be a gift of God, I'd rather be an atheist!

I'd destroy anyone, who as much as utters the word “love" here.

You can never destroy “Love"!

Can you reverse the direction of a river...

...that flows through your territory'?

No, you cannot force your will on people in love.

Love will live forever. Those who try to destroy love, will be vanquished.

- Shiva I - I am the one to fault, my brother.

Punish me, if you must!

You've started playing your dirty “role" in my presence!

- No, brother - You fallen woman!

No! No, this can't be.

Don't! Don't leave me alone like this.

I'm left all alone.

Have I made you unhappy by speaking out for Shiva?

- Shiva! - I'll fill this villa with toys...

...when my nephew arrives. And I'll play horse...

for him all the time. - Oh Shiva!

You have left me too!

I swear by the pyres of my dead...

...that I shall destroy the pride of the man who has devastated my family.

I beg of you, God...

...give me a son. Please give me a son.

None even dare carry the ashes of their dead...

...through my estates, without my permission.

Who is it that celebrates?

Stop it!

Ganga! Are you still alive'?

Even if you'd escaped my bullets, you should've died of terror.

You have not died. I see. And today, you've come here too!

I've come here to share my happiness with you.
