from laughing at you, sir.

Whoever told you that I want

to buy a luxury ship?

I'm looking for a cargo vessel...

with deep-freezers and departments

for cleaning and sorting out fish.

For example, there are so

many islands around Mauritius.

Sea Union is one. Where they

have a high standard of living.

The most expensive thing here

is rather cheap for them.

The demand for fish

far outstrips the supply.

There are you.

The wealth is there for the taking...

and we stand mute spectators.

You have exceptional

ideas and spirit.

This is my daughter...

- My name is Rukmini.

But I'm fondly called "Ruku".

My name is Shyam.

- I know.

Dad's been praising you ever since

he has returned from the bank.

Leave him alone

for a while, Shyam.

The rich take time to

give their nod of consent.

How do you find Mauritius?

It's beautiful.

I have dreams of making it big.

I'll throw a lot of parties, too.

You mustn't dream of that.

- Why not?

We have such parties every day.

It's the same crowd, the same

small talk, the same gossip.

I'm quite sick of all this!

And I've been dreaming of such

a lifestyle for years.

I used to like all this, too.

But now, I've had

quite enough of it.

Your arrival here today is like

a whiff of fresh air in my life.

Know when you feel like this?

- When?

When a beautiful girl

grows up.

The master wants you, madam.

Did you send for us?

- Yes. I have good news for Shyam.

The directors of the bank have

expressed an opinion in your favor.

Your loan is as good

as sanctioned.

We can discuss the rest

of the matter tomorrow.

I don't want the loan anymore, sir.

I've changed my mind.

You said this man was fast...

but he's turned out to be "express".

How about some tea?

You're always out...

where have you been?

I have asked you a question.

Notice her silence?

This is rather personal, mom.

What are you doing in the office?

Aren't you out, playing colors?

You know I'm a low-caste, sir.

Who'd play with me?

I'll play colors with you!

To hell with the world!

The papers might be ruined, sir.

- So let them be ruined.

They've very important, sir.

What's so important

about them?

I wanted to give you

a surprise, sir.

You're getting a loan of 10 million

from a big financial house, sir.

You can buy the ship!

I've got to submit

the papers tomorrow.

You haven't changed yet!

Still in the mood of colors?

Come on upstairs.

- What for?

Just come on upstairs! Hurry up!

What's up?

You look very happy

This is Mr. Gopal; my friend,

philosopher and guide.

He didn't celebrate

Holi today.

He says, he a low-caste;

nobody plays with him.

Could I play with the doll?

- Sure.
