Give me the wick

But Leela, how did you escape?

I hope you weren't in danger?

Your love was with me.

How could anyone even look up at me?

You are tired. Change.

I'll bring you your dressing grown

These last four days

The last four days were

like a lifetime

I took the police and I looked

everywhere for you

All the while, I feared...

I feared you were in grave danger!

But how did you escape?

And who was this bandit?

Some Jagga. He said that you

had convicted him

So he escaped to get even with me!

If he has done anything to you...

I'll see to it that he hangs!

- At heart, he's a devil

But God saved me at the last moment.

Thank God!

Tell me something

Ask

Does a bandit's son necessarily

become a bandit?

Yes, it's bound to happen

But why do you ask?

Just like that

Let's see what comes first.

Your becoming a magistrate, or...

Why? Is someone expected?

A new guest

Now I don't have any chances

of becoming a magistrate

Why? What happened?

Whatever... let's talk

of something else

How do you like this?

Nice

Listen...

Are you annoyed with me?

Annoyed? No

Why should I be annoyed with you?

Have my lunch sent over

What's the matter?

Where are the servants?

God knows! Maybe they're all dead!

I have to do all the chores

Let me help you.

- You'd rather tell her all this

She's sitting around like a queen!

Not to be cross with Leela.

I told her not to strain herself

You know the condition she is in.

And in a few days from now...

She's going to bear the fruit

of her sins!

What are you saying?!

- What everyone else is saying!

For four days, she lived with a bandit!

And Jagga at that!

Don't you remember what

he was convicted for?

Do you enjoy making someone unhappy?

The jaundiced eye sees all yellow

Do you think you're beyond scrutiny?

Don't you forget...

women have had to stand the test of

chastity. Because society asks for it

Bhabhi!

(Sister-in-law)

Forgive me Bhabhi,

your pot is broken

It's only an earthen pot. But remember,

a woman's honor is far more fragile

Once disgraced, her honor

can never be redeemed

Did you not know that your wife

was seeing her lover on the sly?

The villagers used to say that.

But I didn't heed what they said

You haven't yet told the court

why your wife deserted you

You know it! Women are adulterous!

I know what that means!

Raghu, how can you lose

your cool in court?

I'm afraid your chances of

magistrate ship may be clouded

Chances of a magistrate ship?

That's out of question now

Can a lawyer whose wife is under

suspicion ever become a magistrate?

The whole town is agog!

- What are you saying?

Aren't you ashamed to talk like this
