Aswathama (అశ్వథామ)

This is justice.

Justice is always like this.

When a woman is being disrobed, in front of a full court of Kings, Ministers, Chieftains, and Elder people,

each and everyone who sat there watching it happen...

who did not object to it nor did they slap the person doing it, has to die.

Along with Bhishma!

Only, Ashwadhama questioned it, voiced it and was saved.

That is justice.

Sister-in-law...

Just a little bear it.

Shanthi...

Don’t worry, sister-in-law.

Nothing will happen. The doctor is almost here.

Brother also will be here soon, sister-in-law.

Don’t worry. We will all be here.

Be brave.

I called brother-in-law. He’s started.

Come here, son.

Come here. Come on.

Uncle, where did mom go?

She will be back in ten minutes, son. Don’t worry.

Okay.

Namaste, sir. -Namaste, sir.

There is nothing to worry about, right? -Don’t worry. She’ll have a normal delivery.

Congrats! It’s a baby girl.

Thank you, doctor. Thank you so much.

We’re so happy.

Son, you have a sister now!

Go inside and see her. Go. -Go see her.

She was crying until now.

But as soon as you came she stopped.

Will you always look after your sister this way?

Pinky promise.

Hey, push it this way.

Push harder!

Hey, take that fishes.

Put this basket over there.

Hey, put this basket of prawns there.

Give it here!

Hey, hurry up and give me the swordfish.

Ah...lift all this up!

Hey, the boss is here.

Namaste, sir.

Hey, hold this.

Very soon, she will be in front of you.

After completing your work Come to me and take the balance.

Hi Rupa.. -Hi.

How come you are early today?

Leave that. Did you bring the Chemistry book?

Don't we have to submit it today?

Brother, Can I trap?

We don't need that they are together. We need one that is alone.

Have some patience.

Order a cup of tea.

Uncle, one tea, please.

Hey, order another cup for me.

Excuse me, can you give me that, please.

Hey, get the van! Fast!! -Okay!

Hello?

Can you put the plate there and get me some juice. -Sure, sister-in-law.

Son, how long more? Has he come yet?

The flights are landing and taking off, but I can’t see him anywhere, aunty.

Oh, ah! He’s here. Put the phone down.

We’ll be there in ten minutes.

Come fast. The auspicious time is running out.

Hey, why did you take so long?! Everyone is waiting for you!

It’s time for the event. Let’s go! -Come on!

Let's go... go...

No one change a dress in a car like you.

I don't have the time... What can I do?

Sister! Your son’s here.

See, my son is here.

It’s been a long time since we last saw him.

Stop.

How are you, uncle? -How was your journey?

Son, have you come?

Wait, let me cleanse your aura.

Sister, you have to do it thrice. -All the evil eyes of our neighbours and outsiders...

Why have you lost weight like this? -Mom, I’m fine.

Don’t you eat well or what? -Hey, nothing like that.

You become half of your size.

Did you get the bottle I asked you to? -Dad, I thought you quit drinking.

You wait.

Brother, where’s my iPhone?

I brought it for you to... -Wait, let him inside the house first.

How can you come so late for your sister’s engagement? - I came, right?

Did you see how she went away sulking?

Leave it to me, mom. I will manage her.

Madam! Please greet each other later. We are crossing the auspicious time for the event.

Oh, yes. Let’s go. -Come fast.

Sir...

The wedding is set for a very auspicious day, exactly three months from now.

Ah, please confirm the wedding on that date.

Okay, sir.

I am reading out their wedding details. Please, listen.

With the blessings of the divine, during the blessed months of the rainy season...

In the early hours of the ninth day of the moon at 8 am...

The elders have decided that the eldest son of Mrs. Velagapudi Shankar Rao’s, Mr. Velagapudi Ravi...

...is to marry Mr. Vadlamuri Ashok Kumar’s only daughter, Lakshmi Sowbhagyawati Priya.

Superb!

Madam, please exchange beetle leaves as confirmation.

Next is your marriage.

Madam, please exchange rings.

Come, dear. Go.

Exchange the Garlands.

Can I bless them at least? -Yeah, After the Garlands exchanged.

Okay, Mom.

You look so beautiful, you know?

Don’t act smart. -Why?

You promised you will be here ten days before the engagement.

And you come here ten minutes before it.

Please, actually... -Go.

Please listen to me....

I will be here until you get married.

Get lost!

I don’t believe a word you say.

Promise.

I will be here till we send you off. Okay?

Smile now.

Anyway, did you get the watch I asked you for?

I gave you a watch when I came the last time. What happened to that?

That...

That...

That...?

That watch...

I lost it.

What?

You lost it?

You don’t seem to value gifts. Why should I give you any?

Sorry.

Don’t cry. I know you would cry like this...

That is why I got you a watch.

Take it.

Thank you, brother!

Okay, enough. Okay.

What is it?

Hey, haven’t you stopped smoking?

Hey, I have quit it long ago. It’s true.

Dad! Dad! -Hey, no!

Hey, careful. It will burn.

Bro, an English poet once said...

‘The relationship with a cigarette is far better than the relationship with the people around you.’

I still don’t understand why he said that, bro.

Don’t work your brain so hard.

His was trying to say that some people come into our lives to stay with us lifelong.

But in the end, even if we beg them to stay, they will leave us and go.

But the one thing that comes without intimation and stays till the end even if we ask it to leave is a cigarette.

Is there so much meaning to this?

How come I never understood it, bro?

It doesn’t matter if the guy who wrote it was intelligent.

The one reading it should be one too.

Oh!

No one is inside!

Hey, who do you think it is? -What if it is uncle?

Then you go and open the door. -No. You go.

Shall we open the door together?

Whose bathroom is this?

Go open the door!

Hey, Happy. Where are you going?

Come here.

Hey! If he asks, say we have lit incense sticks.

Why would we light incense in the bathroom?

I don’t know what the hell I am saying.

Hey, what are you doing here at this time?

It won’t be good if someone sees us like this.

Stop. I can’t breathe! Wait a minute!

Isn’t it!

This is how I left when you were not here with me all these days.

How many stories you told me when we were in college!

‘Neha, I cannot spend a moment without you'.

Five years! It’s been five years!

But did you even come to India once to see me?

You even asked me not to come to the airport to see you.

I knew this would happen if you had come to the airport.

That’s why I asked you not to come.

Not just you.

Every day I was in the US, I missed you a lot too.

Do you understand?

Shall I tell you something?

There’s a magic in having a long-distance relationship.

All the sadness you feel when you are apart... Disappears the moment we are together.

Isn’t it?

Haven’t you stopped jumping walls?

For you my darling. I have been waiting.

Never tired, no boundaries But time is never enough.

The sweet evidence of love Has made us one.

Even the dark night sky lights up like a full moon When you smile.

After I found you in my heart I have forgotten about myself.

For you my darling. I have been waiting.

Never tired, no boundaries But time is never enough.

My heart sings love songs When it looks into your eyes.

My eyes watch your beauty and are lost in your curves.

You are always, in my eyes, in my dreams, and in my every thought.

In the beginning, in the end, in every moment of time,

Darling, you are always with me.

The sweet evidence of love Has made us one.

Even the dark night sky lights up like a full moon When you smile.

After I found you in my heart I have forgotten about myself.

For you my darling. I have been waiting.

Never tired, no boundaries But time is never enough.
