Leaving already?
Yes, uncle.
Want some toddy?
No, I've a bus to catch.
Have a sip. Sudarshan used to love it.
Grandpa didn't drink.
It's not alcohol, just local brew.
He loved it.
He didn't drink.
Remember that day when he kept calling you.
He sat here with me
and gulped lots of it.
Do you know why he kept calling me that day?
I do.
Please tell me.
Sit down and have a drink.
Drink it.
I'll have another drink.
Don't be disheartened on losing the Village Head position.
I'm not sad about that, Mahto.
Nor am I disheartened because
I failed in cultivating modern cucumber.
I am sad
because given my defeat
the
villagers will think twice
before trying anything new.
They are all cowards.
They won't try anything new.
They just want to mock a defeated man.
Mahto, with the help of phone and Internet
I'm trying to learn about
advanced farming
but
-I have aged. -I know.
I am tired, Mahto.
Sometimes I think
of calling Raghav here for some days.
-He's intelligent. -Yes.
If he'd teach me technology
I wouldn't lose.
He's not free, you know!
When was the last time he visited?
He's busy.
He's happy not busy.
Who cares about the village!
Does he even call?
Yes, he does.
Call him.
Okay.
-Sure. -Hold on.
The number you've dialled is busy.
Please try calling later.
The number you've dialled is currently busy.
-What happened? -Please try later.
He must be busy.
He'll call back.
"You bore the fruit, but they called it mine."
"Your leaves they wore, yet the praise was mine".
Look at those tribal women.
"In your shade, I walked through fire"
For them chopping a tree amounts to sin.
"You're now a burden to this land".
When they want to fell a tree,
they abuse it every single day.
With all the abuses hurled,
the tree dries up eventually.
Sudarshan too gave up
after all the mockery.
You knew why grandpa kept calling me that day.
I have no idea.
Why did you come back?
Don't lie to me.
Uncle Mahto told me.
Why did you hide this?
Son,
I didn't want
to burden you with our woes.
You are a busy man.
-So... -Grandma, am I not family?
Grandpa was upset.
You should've rebuked and called me here.
You should've slapped me.
Of course I'd come.
Sister, please clean the room for Raghav.
Brother, let us do it.
I'll do it.
Give me the bucket.
Get more buckets.
Brother, let's use a pump to suck the water.
Thank you.
Come on, Raghav.
I may not agree with your ways
but I still stand by your side.
[indistinct chatter]
Please get your crops insured.
-Yes. -Or you'll be in deep trouble. Got it?
Yes.
Charanji will explain the form.
-Okay. -Kratika.
Can you spare a minute? It's urgent.
I won't give up.
But I don't know how to fight nature.
You can't fight nature but technology can.
Meaning?
I didn't suggest this because it's expensive.
But with this method,
rains, locusts,
sunlight, fog, wild animals can be tackled.
What are you suggesting?
See, one second.
This is a Polyhouse.
It doesn't get affected by climatic change.
Under controlled environment
the harvest is 5 times better.
Listen, I'll show you a polyhouse tomorrow.
That will be wonderful.
Great.
Charanji!
Yes, madam.
-I'll see you later then. -See you.
-Hello, Stuti? -Where have you reached?
I've been waiting for you. My calls are going unanswered.
Actually, I...
Say something, Raghav.
Sorry, Stuti, I don't know how to explain but...
No, Raghav!
Don't tell me that you're not coming.
I've been preparing like an idiot since morning.
What the hell!
Stuti, hello!
Fuck!
Done for the day?
Yes, I'm going home.
Please help us.
Please fill the form.
I'll pay you for it.
Just help us get to the city.
What are you doing?
-It's urgent. -You're seeing bad days,
I can't take your money.
Weren't you doing modern farming with robots?
What happened?
You know how it is.
The village has turned into a river.
We can't fight God!
Right.
It won't take long.
Please do it for us.
All right.
How can I refuse my fellow villagers?
You alone can help us.
Excuse me.
-Yes, Raghav. -Come.
Tell me.
Polyhouse?
Dr Sahini?
Tomorrow?
What?
Polyhouse...
What else did he say?
-Tomorrow... -Listen up.
Meet me tomorrow.
Decide if it's farming or a job in the city.
You're undecided.
See you tomorrow. That's what you deserve.
Stop.
Come.
Where is the field?
We got the address right.
This is a polyhouse covering the fields.
Fields in a tent?
-Come. -I've told you the doctor is crazy.
Who grows grains in a tent!
They are all mad.
Dr Sahini!
Mr Sahini!
-Doctor! -Welcome, Raghav.
Thank you so much for seeing me, sir.
-You've got a lovely farm. -Thank you.
Where's madam?
She had a meeting to attend.
Okay.
-Your fresh produce? -Yeah.
-Wow. -Capsicum comes in yellow and red?
Guess it is rotten.
It's bell pepper, mister.
Best quality, 300 per kg.
This must be 250 grams in weight.
Almost.
He's gone crazier than before.
-Agreed. -Come, Raghav.
See.
This is the future of modern farming.
Fascinating, sir.
But how did you grow winter crops in summer?
That's the beauty of polyhouse!
It can grow winter crops in summer
and vice versa.
No trouble from climate, cattle
or pests.
Better yield and fewer losses.
Sir, how much does a polyhouse cost?
It comes around
3 million.
But you will recover the amount within 3 years.
Then unending profits.
One time investment, lifetime benefit.
3 million!
Lot of money.
Come on, Raghav. Don't worry. Go for a loan.
The government is offering 60% subsidy.
When the polyhouse is ready
upload the pictures on the government's website.
After the audit, you'll get the subsidy amount in your bank account.
Simple.
Come.
-Raghav. -Yes?
What?
Don't even think of a loan.
Why? What's the problem?
What are you saying?
You lost your job.
You have to repay grandpa's loan of 1.5 million.
We'll make no mistake this time.
-You heard what Dr Sahini said. -You're stubborn, Brother.
You just never listen.
Why are you scared?
Dr Sahini mentioned government subsidy.
We'll recover the cost in 3 years. What's the problem?
We faced wild cattle
and fought locusts.
We stood up despite the deluge.
Let's give this a try too.
Please trust me.
Things will work out.
Believe me.
We got this.
Do you trust me?
Let's go.
Thank you.
Hello, Stuti, hear me out.
Babe, look, I know you're upset and rightly so.
I shouldn't have done this again.
All I'm saying is give me some more time.
I swear I'll set things right.
You know how much I love you.
I swear I won't let you down. I promise this.
It's fine, Raghav. Let's not fight any more.
Why didn't you answer my calls?
We stopped at a tea stall.
No, he's lying.
You're a man of the soil
And stubborn as soil
You know I'm making a polyhouse.
Poly what?
A safe house for crops.
I'll explain in detail.
You'll love it.
Tell me.
Karan, this looks crooked to me.
Here's the best part.
Yes.
I've decided to cultivate roses.
Okay.
Now what will you put here?
-Apron or polythene? -Polythene Sir.
What about the bank loan? When will you repay?
When? Pay it soon.
Understood? Hold this.
Hey.
Let's go.
You trust Raghav, not me.
-Ask him. -I'll ask Raghav.
He's not picking up the call but...
-Hello. -Hi, is this Stuti?
Yes? Who's this?
Yeah, Raghav Sharma gave your number as an emergency contact.
His phone is unreachable.
Is he okay?
Yeah, everything is fine. He hasn't returned his laptop.
His exit formalities are pending.
I'm sorry, exit formalities?
He was fired two months ago.
Guess he didn't tell you.
It's okay. Can you please ask him to return his laptop please?
Or he'll be marked as absconding
and he won't get another job.
He'll be blacklisted.
Raghav,
after we sell these flowers
I'll buy that fruit phone.
Idiot! It's Apple!
Exactly.
He's a boor!
EMI? A loan of 3 million?
That's his choice.
Will you have mineral water?
Don't be silly.
-Stuti. -Raghav, have you been fired?
You borrowed a loan worth 3 million!
Yes.
Raghav, you hid things in the past
but I forgave you.
I came to the village to surprise you.
Yet you never told me.
I wanted to but
the cattle attacked...
Sure. Enough of your lies!
You didn't tell me because you think I'll overreact.
That's what you think about me, right?
You're mistaken. Don't say that.
-Nothing like that. -Raghav,
answer me honestly.
Do you ever plan to come back?
And please tell me the truth.
I knew it! You won't come back.
I am an idiot
who's fighting to save this relationship.
Where did that come up from?
We both love each other. Such tiffs are common.
Love?
No, Raghav. Forget love,
we're not even friends anymore.
You know, I feel lonely despite having you around.
You speak of your polyhouse and modern farming but it makes no sense to me.
Do you even realise that?
I don't understand
-yet that's all you care about. -Pull this down.
-Do you even realize that?
-Girdhari... -Won't you say a word now?
Girdhari, get out of here.
What Girdhari?
-There's an objection... -Stuti... Stuti...
You please leave all of that and talk to me.
-Why have you built this? -There's a problem, I'll call you back.
Raghav, I'm telling you, this is super important.
-I said leave. -What?
-Stuti, can I just call you back? -We can't be together.
We're done.
-We're just done. -Stuti, don't say that.
Not allowed my foot!
-What's this? -Stop!
-Get out of here. -Back off.
-Get out here. -Put that down.
I'm warning you.
-Put that down. -Get out of here
-or I'll bury you alive. Get out. -Put that down.
I'll come and beat the arrogance out of you.
Let me knock that arrogance out of you!
-Out! -I'm leaving.
[angry yelling continues]
