Tell me one thing.
Why did you do that to him?
You were in love with him, right?
Then why did you leave him?
You switched sides in a moment.
Shanvika, I'm talking to you. Say something.
Look, I don't want to talk about it. Really.
Aren't you being selfish?
Now I feel like I don't even know you.
Speak up.
I don't want to talk about it. - Why not?
Just end this conversation here. Do one thing.
Leave. Just go.
Fine, I'm leaving.
But let me say one thing before I go.
This arrogance of yours won't do you any good.
You've ruined someone's life, Shanvika.
I told you once to leave. Can't you understand?
I'm going. - Go!
I'm leaving. You won't see my face again.
Find a family quickly wherever it may be.
Half the trouble is already done. Don't let it get worse.
You're right.
But the family and the boy should also match our standards.
Have you seen your daughter's attitude?
Is she easy to handle?
We'll have to think carefully before making a decision.
We planned it well, but...
Anyway.
What choice do we have besides him?
Who is all this for?
If she marries, her wedding will be grand. The world will see.
Where is she?
Kuldeep?
You're sitting here?
I searched everywhere, and you're here?
By the way, this is a nice spot.
Kuldeep, how long will you keep thinking like this?
Man, Uncle looks like the living dead.
And you've seen Aunt's condition, right?
We have to figure out something for our future, right?
Forget that girl.
She betrayed you, used you.
Listen, here, have some fritters.
Here. Eat it.
My dad used to say
that instead of worrying about a poor man's failures,
you should worry about his next meal.
Listen to me.
Learn to drive a rickshaw.
I'll teach you.
Tea.
Here, Raja. Have tea. - Give.
Come, have tea.
No, Mom. I don't want. - You don't want tea?
Come on. We'll be late. We're leaving.
Look, first, you need to turn this on. All right?
This is the accelerator.
This is the rear brake.
Slowly. Slowly.
Hey. Come on.
Dad.
Come on, balance and ride.
It wasn't my fault. He was the one after me.
Go slow. There's nothing to worry about.
Hello, sir.
I spoke to you earlier about the e-rickshaw. For my brother.
This is him.
What's your name? - Kuldeep.
Say your full name. - Kuldeep Kumar.
Do you have a licence? - What?
Do you have a licence with you? - Yes, I have.
Aadhaar card?
Yes, I have that as well.
We've got everything ready, sir.
I'll give you one e-rickshaw.
But remember, if anything gets damaged, I'll come after you.
There won't be any issues. I guarantee it. Don't worry.
Sign here.
Take better care of my rickshaw than yourself.
Here. Take the keys. - I'll explain everything.
It's the blue one.
Thank you, sir.
Come on.
Raja.
Say Hail Lord Bajrangbali... - Hail Lord Hanuman!
Come on. Drive over this.
Oh, man, they burnt it completely. - They ruined everything.
Singh. - Yes?
Take pictures of the house.
All right. Take plenty of photos from different angles.
We'll need them later.
Sir, pose with some emotion for a photo.
Hey, come here. - Come.
Oh, Minister.
Will you keep taking pictures for a museum?
Will you do something or not?
That family was from your own caste.
Kuldeep was the pride of our community.
He was a topper.
He was my closest friend. Look at this.
What's become of my friend's house?
Who knows where they are wandering now?
Minister,
do something, sir. - I will.
I'll handle it. - He won't do anything.
He himself is terrified of Chauhan.
Isn't that right?
Silence.
What's your name? - Just imagine
that my name is Manohar Singh Chauhan.
Go ahead, shoot me.
Since you can't harm Chauhan, why not just kill me?
Yes. - What else?
Stay calm.
I won't shoot Manohar Chauhan.
One day, I'll reduce him to dust.
Remember this, all of you.
Don't forget.
Let's go. - Go, go.
Now, we've got work from the MP government too.
The goods will need to be increased in bulk.
I've told Pushkar
to double the number of artisans and labourers.
Oh, Manohar.
Can Pushkar handle all this?
Does he have any interest in anything besides showboating?
We'll have to manage all this ourselves.
Mr. Pandey.
You've got the news, right? - What?
Daddu went to the boy's house. - Okay.
And apparently, he threatened to turn you into dust.
Since he's become a minister,
the colour of his blood has changed.
This time, if the power shifts,
we'll wipe him off the map of Sitarpur.
First, clean up your daughter's mess.
Do you know other lawyers in court mock me?
"Hey, Pandey, your coat looks dirty.
"Some stains have stuck to you too. "
We're trying to get her married and send her off quickly.
But we need to find a boy too.
Boys these days aren't any less troublemakers.
This incident has already reached every household.
You're right.
Let's do something.
That's a fantastic photo.
Hello, Mr. Chauhan.
Hello.
As soon as Inspector gets leave from the station, he comes straight to you.
You two seem to get along well. - Look,
it's Mr. Chauhan's affection that pulls me here.
What I'm saying is have a word with him.
He's from the same caste.
If he finds a good boy from our area,
the match will be distant enough to avoid suspicion.
What are you talking about?
Well,
they're looking for a boy for Shanu.
With whose permission?
Now these people will arrange Shanvika's marriage?
Do you know how much disgrace this has brought to the area?
Am I dead?
It just doesn't sink into your head.
Anger, anger, anger, that's all.
If we look for a boy from a far-off place,
it would be easier for us.
You understand that, right?
Mr. Chauhan.
Look.
Now that you've asked me,
I'll try.
As soon as I find a suitable boy,
I'll let you know.
The boy should be a bit simple.
Because, you know, Shanu has quite a fiery temper.
I know her.
She has that strong Thakur attitude.
We'll find a boy who complements her personality.
You'll like the boy. That's my guarantee.
In Hindi poetry, those nine songs never received
the recognition and the importance they deserved.
Although many literary figures started their work...
What is it? - Why aren't you answering my calls?
I'm in class. Why are you calling me now?
Okay, listen.
Come straight to my house after college.
And if you don't, I swear on Mom, I'll shoot you.
All right.
Neha. - Sorry, sir.
They are planning your wedding.
You can't go to college. You can't step out.
How long will you stay cooped up in this room?
Better to get married and move out of here.
I'll slap you.
Stop giving me unsolicited advice.
I can't get married.
If not marriage, then what? Will you just rot away here?
Shanvika, your days of rebellion are over.
Now, there's no hope for you.
On top of that, you've ruined Kuldeep's life along with your own.
Better to quietly get married, have kids and live a happy married life.
Neha, look. I might actually do something drastic.
I can't compromise with my life.
I just can't.
A girl's life goes smoothly
only until she makes a mistake.
One mistake shackles her feet with chains.
The rest is up to you. You're smart.
Whatever you do, think carefully before acting.
Rickshaw! Rickshaw!
Let it be.
SUNLIGHT IN SHADOWS
Thank you. You didn't have to go for just one page.
I understand the value of written words.
Where to? - Mukherjee Nagar.
Are you okay? - Yes.
By the way, do you...
read Dushyant Kumar?
Yes. You too?
I used to.
Not anymore. - Why not?
Why did you quit studying?
Some decisions are made by destiny.
What are you studying?
I'm preparing for the UPSC exams.
IAS?
Yes, that.
You'll definitely achieve it.
Thank you.
How do you know?
I don't know. I just...
feel that way.
Thank you so much.
Please stop here.
Thank you.
You're a good guy.
You've made my day.
What's your name?
Kuldeep.
Once again, thank you, Kuldeep.
And...
I know destiny does make our decisions,
but sometimes we have to decide to change destiny ourselves.
Okay, bye.
Do you want to prepare for the IAS?
If there were a post higher than IAS in civil services,
I would've applied for that.
I want to marry Shanvika.
Marrying me will ruin your life.
Shanvika is going to get married.
I'm the scapegoat.
Turn the hatred you feel for her into your strength.
Study so hard that you crack the IAS exams.
This year, Mr. Kuldeep Kumar has topped the UPSC exams.
I've come to Sitarpur.
Shanvika Chauhan,
start counting the days to your doom.
