Good morning.
Did you make the coffee yourself?
Yes.
I had vowed to the gods
that if I get a good wife I will make coffee myself.
I believe I have got a good one.
Why didn't you wake me?
You were sleeping so peacefully.
I didn't feel like waking you.
Uneasy thoughts haunted me till dawn.
I slept only at 4 a.m.
Did mahesha's antics scare you?
Yes! A bit.
But mother-in-law consoled me.
It is getting cold.
Coffee is good.
So are you.
Mother-in-law.
Come.
I don't drink coffee.
Just cumin water.
I have got you just that.
Did dushyanta tell you?
How did you guess?
He is my son.
(Mantras being recited)
What is this?
Only you two are here.
Where is mahesha?
He hasn't come.
Mother-in-law.
in my urgency to come here
I have forgotten my clothes at home.
I don't have any fresh clothes to wear after bath.
Please
don't feel bad!
Are all these your sarees?
No.
It is mahesha's wife pushpavati's.
The water is stagnant there.
Clean it properly.
Namaste.
Poorni.
Wake mahesha.
I won't.
He acts like a dog.
Mother-in-law.
Let me try to wake him.
Mahesh bhava (brother-in-law)?
Bro. . .
Mahesh bhava (brother-in-law)?
Brother in law.
Jaaji!
Come pushpavati.
You are finally here!
How much did you harass me!
Why do you torture me?
Today I will end this. - Leave me brother-in-law!
Brother-in-law
it is me jaaji!
Not pushpavati.
Damned be your lies!
What did I do to you?
Today I won't spare you.
Stop it mahesha or else you will regret it.
I won't listen to anyone today.
I will kill her.
Go and bring dushyanta.
(Mantras being recited)
Brother.
Come immediately.
Why?
Mahesha has gone insane.
What's his problem?
Bloody.
Excuse me sire.
We will return in ten minutes.
I was so insanely in love with you!
Pushpavati!
Is it fine to torture your husband like this?
Let us both die today.
I will kill you first
and then I will kill myself.
Fine?
Brother-in-law!
I am Jaaji!
I am not pushpavati.
You are no jaaji (Spanish jasmine) or mallige (Jasmine). You are a liar.
I bought this saree myself for you.
Leave it.
Today will be my judgment day.
It is either you or me.
Shiva stop him. - Mahesha!
Lift him. Tie him down. - Leave me.
(Struggling cries)
Stop it pushpavati.
Stop this torture.
Mother.
Come.
Let's go.
Pushpavati.
Drink.
After all this
you might resent being married to our family
and may be thinking of leaving us all.
It is natural to feel so.
But let me reveal some things.
After listening to it
the decision to leave or stay is yours.
Mahesha was always reckless.
Mother! - He did the same with pushpavati.
Mother
Oh you are here!
Having food!
Very good.
Dad!
Are you sleeping? Wake up.
Come in.
She just looks modern.
But she has an old fashioned name.
Pushpavati.
We got married today morning.
Registered marriage.
My mother.
Oh!
Hi mother-in-law.
My dad.
Hi uncle.
Jawarayya
get her luggage from the jeep.
What are you staring at? Go get it.
Wait a minute.
Mother
she is a non vegetarian.
She also drinks alcohol.
To be true
we met at a drinking session.
Come here.
Together we finish one and half bottle per sitting.
That's true.
Come. I will show your room.
Drink and do anything outside.
But don’t do this nuisance here.
It is not only your house.
It is mine too.
A god resides here. This will be blasphemous.
If that idol is your god
then this is my god.
If you can't change your ways then you can't stay here.
Then give my share of wealth to us.
We will leave.
Try to understand.
Your wife's sins are damning this house.
What happened?
Make a peg for me. Oh no extra glass!
What happened?
Charulata is not conceiving.
Her miscarriages are becoming frequent
Take the husband and wife to a doctor.
What can she do if he is impotent?
I know what to do for us.
You take care of your wife.
What do you mean take care?
- What do you mean. . .
Mahesha!
Never have you brothers quarreled like this.
It all started after her.
Are you saying I instigated this?
What has she done mother?
I didn't say you instigated or inspired anything.
A god resides in this house.
We must follow some regulations.
All this misfortune is due to god's anger.
What god?
Don't connect odd dots.
What is the connection between
me drinking
her miscarriages
and god's anger?
It is because of this arrogance
you suffer from somnambulism.
You have to be tied to bed at night.
Just be quite!!!
Your blasphemy is causing all this.
From where did you bring her?
So that god is responsible for all this!
Pushpavati!
Stop it. -What are you doing?
Listen to me. -Don't enrage the gods.
What the hell!
Don't do it!
No!
This a damn sin you wretched woman!
Mother! -Go get it.
How dare you hit my wife?
Stop it mahesha! -I will kill you.
Did I touch your wife? - Ouch! Father help.
How dare you? - Father take him away.
Your wife is the problem. -Stop quarreling.
Mahesha. - Stop it.
To the same well where she threw the god's idol
pushpavati jumped into it and killed herself.
Mahesha feels guilty for bringing her to this house.
He feels
he is indirectly responsible for her death.
That's why
after pushpavati's death he suffers from . . .
Hallucinations.
That's it!
He is hallucinating.
So he keeps seeing pushpavati.
I have openly shared everything.
Now being here or leaving us would be your decision.
Jawarayya.
escort her if she wishes to leave.
Mother-in-law
I won't leave this house.
What are you cooking?
Cucumber gravy with ginger sambar.
Do you add pepper to the gravy?
I don't.
But these people prefer it with pepper.
Also jaggery should be pungent.
How do you know so much about them?
I have slogged 12 years in this house.
How can I not know these things?
Who used to cook before?
Pushpavati.
Her jack-fruit gravy was top notch.
Wasn't she an alcoholic?
That was in the beginning.
She changed a lot later.
She stopped drinking
and started worshiping the god.
But they told that she died due to god's curse!
There was an incident.
Though mahesha married pushpavati by his own wish,
he showed his true colours within six months.
Elaborate.
He is a womanizer.
His lust is insatiable.
His wife anusuya devi who personified the charm of goddess herself. . .
Didn't I tell you to not come in before dusk?
Your son is humping every girl. Should I keep quite?
What's up?
Have you gone crazy?
Who has gone crazy?
Your lust for girls has made you crazy!
You talk about god, about devotion and regulations!
Am I not following all of your diktats now?
So why can't you or your god keep your son under control.
Forgive me.
You wretched woman.
You! Your mother! Your father! Your god!
are all bloody liars!
Bloody liars!
Don't enter the altar.
I will!
Pushpavati don't. Don't!
Pushpavati!
Open the door pushpavati.
Pushpavati are you nuts? -Open the door.
Open the door child. -Pushpavati.
Listen to me pushpavati.
You are soiling the altar!
What is wrong with you? - Are you nuts?
Come out. -Don't be adamant.
Pushpavati! -Stop this!
It is sacrilegious to do this!
What is wrong with you? - Open the door!
Don't enrage the gods.
Come out child. -Open the door!
She was menstruating.
She shouldn't have entered the altar room.
Anyone who dies will be reborn again.
Today
is the fifth day of ere mallikarjuna's death.
In another 8 days
all the other rituals will end.
His rebirth has already been decided.
We got the news.
I thought it would be wrong to not come at this hour.
I would have called you for the tenth day.
I hope I haven't troubled you.
Who is she?
Dushyanta's wife.
When was the marriage?
Five days back.
The day he died.
Now what happens of my daughter?
Where are you come from?
Sampigehaara. 130kms from here.
I asked her.
Don't act smart.
Come. Let's go.
Stop.
Your parents?
They are farmers.
I am Vanamala.
I am mother in law to shivaswamy. Your husband's brother.
He married my daughter charulata.
Come here.
She is my second daughter padmalata.
We wished to marry her
to your husband dushyanta.
Why are you digging the past now?
Come.
Please have food and leave.
Your bus will be delayed.
You leave.
She was even betrothed to dushyanta.
But then pushpavati died.
I didn't know any of these things.
Please don't mistake me.
What will I get by that?
My stars are cursed.
If charulata had not died
I would have become dushyanta's wife.
How did charulata die?
She immolated herself.
