Priest, for how long will we wait for the crow?
Let's proceed with the ritual.
Unless great-grandfather consumes the pudding,
we cannot proceed with the ritual.
Great-grandfather?
Your grandfather's father.
Our ancestors come in the form of a crow.
What are you doing?
Crows are male. Cuckoos are female.
The female's cry will attract the male.
Oh yes.
Why don't you stick feathers on your back and turn into a peacock?
And entice the crow.
Which feather, priest? Flower feather or coconut feather?
'Renuka, everybody has to die eventually.'
'After I die,'
'don't immerse my ashes in the Ganges.'
'Tell Raghav to scatter it over the farm.'
'Wait and watch. I will be reborn.'
How much do I have to pay the confectioner?
Rs.5000.
And for the milk?
Rs.1500.
-Flowers... -Did you call me, papa?
No.
Shall I also shave off my head?
Leave it.
How will you live like a baldy in the city?
Of course.
You get paid for personality in the city.
No, papa. I also want to do it.
Fine. Cut your hair short then.
Grandpa.
Will you cut my hair like this?
Shall I call the barber?
He will give you a nice haircut.
I don't know how to cut hair.
No, grandpa. The barber cuts everybody's hair in the same style.
Please cut my hair.
Son, I tried to cut my hair once. See what happened.
Please.
Fine. Let's see.
Now see.
What do I say about Sudarshan?
He was very stubborn.
People who have a fat nose are usually stubborn.
He used to always talk about Raghav.
He used to say, "Whenever I praise him, I feel special."
"Branches are strong when the tree is strong."
I have returned after a long time.
But it feels like I was always here.
When I see the banyan tree,
I feel grandpa's presence.
I feel like he is gazing at me lovingly from behind his glasses.
How do I believe that grandpa is no more?
I don't understand.
The agriculture officer has come.
Madam commands a lot of power in the agriculture department.
Sir. Sir, madam has come.
-Hello. -Hello, madam.
Go and bring a chair.
Not this one. Bring the chair draped with a white cloth.
-Run and get it. -Greetings.
It's okay.
I won't stay for long.
Madam.
Late Sudarshan's grandson.
Hello.
He used to talk a lot about you.
He used to frequently visit the office.
To learn about modern farming.
He was a visionary man.
Thank you for taking out the time.
Aunt, be strong.
Take care.
If you need anything, call me.
I will come immediately.
I am there.
I will leave now.
When will you learn how to welcome government officials?
If you don't drape the chair with a white cloth,
will a government official sit on it?
Madam left in a huff.
Where is the guy who is bringing the chair?
Mr Charan, let's go to the farming school.
One. Two.
Three. Four. Five. Six.
Seven. Change.
One. Two.
Three. Four. Five. Six.
Seven. Change.
One. Two.
Three. Four. Five. Six.
Seven. Change.
One. Two.
Three. Four. Five.
What is going on here?
This is not a school.
People who want to work as a guard in the city are trained here.
Who is the agriculture assistant?
Dol Chhapra's Ranjan Kushwaha.
Ranjan Kushwaha?
Shall we call Ranjan and the Village Head, madam?
Go.
Ranjan.
You are ruined. There is a raid in the school.
Madam's eyes are red with rage.
And she has called all the village council members.
Run!
-What did he say? -Wear your slippers.
Village Head, come quickly. Or else the matter will aggravate.
We will go and take a look
[indistinct chatter]
Are you the agriculture assistant?
Yes, madam. Ranjan Kushwaha.
You send me the attendance sheet having the signature of
100 people on the farming school WhatsApp group every day.
And here, guard's training is going on.
Madam, people do come here.
-Mr Charan. -Yes, madam.
Make his resignation letter.
No, madam. Please don't do that.
I take lecture every day.
But nobody attends it.
They say, "Will a city man teach villagers how to do farming?"
What is he saying, Village Head?
He is lying, madam. Ranjan, everybody comes.
Will you speak up?
Speak.
Madam, on your saying, I had tied a net for fish farming.
They used it as a mosquito net to sleep on the terrace.
That's not all. I had distributed books on modern farming.
Didn't I do that?
They sold the book to the junk vendor. Eventually, it's used to pack snacks.
Tell me. It's not done, madam.
Is this how they will learn modern farming, Village Head?
Madam.
Modern farming is useless.
Mr Sudarshan tried it.
Ranjan was teaching him how to grow English cucumber.
What happened?
He took a loan.
He died of heart attack.
He became a laughingstock.
Village Head, what nonsense are you talking?
Please mind your tongue.
This drama shouldn't happen again.
Do you understand?
Yes, madam.
I am sorry, Raghav.
Your grandfather did not deserve this.
Shall I keep this, grandma?
Keep it, son.
Mother.
Let's sell some land and repay the bank loan.
Papa, I will repay it.
Son.
You know. He never wanted to take money from you.
Grandma, you saw the kind of things people were saying
about grandpa at the farming school.
Please. Let me repay it.
Let's settle this matter once and for all.
You better go to Mumbai. And handle your work.
You will get stuck in the bank matter here.
Papa, I don't want to hear any nonsense about grandpa.
Grandma, I...
It's an important call.
How are you?
How is your grandma?
She is fine.
She is made of iron.
Nice.
Please tell her to eat on time.
I really wish I was there with you.
You are at the new apartment.
Yeah. Do you want to see?
-Yes. Show me. -Okay.
-Will you please show it? -Yes. Let's go.
Let me show you the bedroom. See.
It's so spacious.
Isn't it?
And look at that view.
Wow.
It's beautiful.
I know.
But we will have to pay Rs.20000 extra.
If you like it, we will take it.
Come soon. I really miss you, baby.
Miss you too.
See you.
Hello, brother.
Hello.
Don't we have plans for today, Baiju?
Aunt wants to grind the wheat.
Aunt, shall we grind the wheat?
It's still not dried.
Fine. Call us when you want to grind it.
Okay.
[soft indistinct mumble]
-Ask him. -You ask him.
Brother.
Do you want to come to the lake?
No. Not today. I have a lot of office work.
Brother, it's Friday.
I have heard that drinking beer on Friday
makes life bearable in the city.
Hello, madam.
Are you drinking wine alone, mom?
Give me some.
I will give it to you when you will drink more than one glass.
Today's generation doesn't have that capacity.
That's why I tell you. Get married.
I will get a drinking partner.
I should ruin my good life so that you get a drinking partner.
What problem do you have with marriage?
Dear, just because my marriage didn't work out,
it doesn't mean yours also won't work out.
At least meet some guys.
Mom, I don't have time for these useless things.
You have time to do a revolution in the village,
where nobody even listens to you.
We are drinking wine.
The ambiance is so good. Enjoy it.
You keep harping about my marriage.
Okay. Listen.
Will you eat fish?
That's better.
Yes. That's better.
What is he doing?
Brother, wait and watch. He is a magician.
Didn't we bring 'Murmura' to eat?
-He is throwing it in the water. -We won't serve you murmure, Brother.
Brother, don't be scared. Our work is done. Sit down.
Brother, it's not a big deal for him. Wait and watch.
-What happened? Caught it? -Yes, brother. Watch.
-Great. -It's not a big deal for him, brother.
Amazing.
Give me the spices.
Eat this fish.
You will forget your city food.
This is Dol Chhapra's five-star hotel, brother.
Full enjoyment and no GST.
Great-grandfather.
No.
My great-grandfather was vegetarian.
Sorry for that day.
Why are you saying sorry, brother?
We will incur a sin.
We are not freedom fighters.
Actually, it's been a long time.
Brother, we are your sharecroppers.
We thought you will remember us.
We used to play Lapki together, right?
Brother, you remember everything.
Shall we do cheers?
Cheers.
What nonsense was Sujan Singh speaking about grandpa,
at the farming school?
He is a jealous guy, brother. Scoundrel.
He wanted to snatch grandpa's Village Head post.
Brother, grandpa was inaugurating the girls school,
behind the house.
He crossed all limits that day, brother.
Brother, the inauguration is going on.
Inauguration?
Amazing. Amazing.
He has worn new clothes for the inauguration.
Is he the only reputed man in the village?
You can speak after the function.
Why?
Why should I speak after the function?
He defaulted on the bank loan
and is trying to act like a big shot here.
And I should speak after the function.
-Talk softly. -Talk softly.
Why?
Mr Sudarshan.
It's the limit of shamelessness.
When grandpa failed to grow English cucumber,
Sujan Singh told all villagers that
grandpa has gone crazy in old age.
He instigated the villagers and snatched
the post of Village Head from him.
It was not grandpa's mistake.
There is nothing left in farming, brother.
I will also move to the city and work as an electrician.
Brother, I will work as a driver.
Agriculture assistant Ranjan Kushwaha has said
that he will help me.
And he will send us to the city.
Do you know, brother? I know electric work.
I had applied for electricity connection.
They refused me. So, I decided to make it on my own.
-Make what? -Electricity.
-You will make it. -Yes, brother.
You don't believe me, do you, brother?
Come. I will show you.
-Here, brother. -Look.
Okay. I see.
He is absolutely crazy.
He says that one day these drums will produce electricity.
Shall I also spin it?
Brother, spin it to the left.
I hope it won't generate electricity.
No, brother.
Here.
-He's laughing, no idea why? -No, Brother.
He should have set it up in a carnival.
Brother, you also laugh.
Children would have taken a ride on it.
I was laughing about something else.
It's a great invention. It will work.
-Listen. -Hey, at least a beer before you go!
Electricity.
Are you drunk?
Go.
Go to your room.
And book your ticket for Mumbai.
Raghav.
Son, the tree remains in the village
and the fruits go to the city.
That's the norm of the world.
Don't settle down in the village.
I will repay the loan tomorrow and return.
-What shall I cook for dinner? -Anything.
Tell me. What do you want to eat?
Nothing special.
-The card. -Give me.
And...
-Papers. -Yes. Here.
-Bank papers. -Give me.
Listen.
Don't fight with Girdhari.
I won't if he doesn't speak nonsense about grandpa.
What if he does?
I will give him a tight slap.
I will slap you.
Go carefully.
Loan repayment.
At the back.
Come.
Here.
You have a fashionable signature.
-Here. -I want to update my passbook.
Did you withdraw any money?
What shall I print then?
I have the right to know what's happening in my account.
You have Rs.30 in your account.
The printer's ink costs Rs.500.
The ink gets over because of frequent passbook updation.
And I have to go all the way to Kanpur.
Go away. I will close your account otherwise. Understood?
Leave.
Tell me. I told him.
Take money from your son or grandson and repay the loan.
But no.
Oh God. He used to talk highly about principles.
What do I tell you?
What principles?
The soil took care of me for 70 years.
Just because there was no harvest,
I won't borrow money from my children and disrespect the soil.
I will repay the loan with my harvest.
Your grandfather was such a filmy man.
He used to say a famous dialogue.
He used to tell everybody. It was
I will be reborn as the rice grain or sugarcane's sweetness.
You tell me, brother Raghav.
Was there any sense in these childish talks?
Did he gain anything?
His photo was put up here as a defaulter. Look.
Look.
Your grandfather is on number one.
In an instant he lost all the respect he had earned in his life.
What to do?
I can only explain.
-Show me. -Huh?
-Show it to me. -What happened?
Give me.
-The signature is proper. -I want to check it once.
It will tear. It will tear.
It will tear. It will tear. What?
Why did you tear it?
-Why did you tear it? -I won't repay the loan now.
-What do you mean? -I mean, I won't repay it now.
Are both grandfather and grandson filmy?
Your grandfather was a fool. You are also a fool.
-Don't say anything about grandpa. -Why shouldn't I?
Why shouldn't I?
Mr Sudarshan was an idiot.
The entire village called him an idiot.
Catch him. Catch him.
The old man was crazy. He couldn't even grow English cucumber.
Call the police. Call the police.
How dare you assault a bank official? I'll teach you a lesson.
Leave me. Leave me.
Which company was it?
Go and sit outside.
Yes, sir.
Sign here.
Go, Raghav sir.
Bye.
The entire village should know.
You defaulted on the bank loan.
And barged into the bank and resorted to thrashing.
Come on.
