and live here.
52:31.691 --> 52:33.606
Or they can have a helper too.
52:35.074 --> 52:38.700
If they don't die within 15 days of check-in,
they'll have to check out from here.
52:38.701 --> 52:40.277
That's the rule here.
52:41.637 --> 52:45.848
And there are some people who donate
all their wealth and stay here till death.
52:46.598 --> 52:50.262
Also, there are some people here
who have done their final rites themselves.
52:51.457 --> 52:52.676
How's that possible?
52:53.029 --> 52:55.201
How can they know the time of their death?
52:55.965 --> 52:58.121
Only God knows that, right?
52:59.582 --> 53:01.285
Do you know that God?
53:03.981 --> 53:05.924
We have so many Gods, don't we?
53:05.925 --> 53:07.910
You can ask me about whoever you want.
53:11.907 --> 53:13.861
I have only one question.
53:15.649 --> 53:18.711
If I see God some day,
53:20.117 --> 53:23.321
I want to ask him
why he gave me a life like this.
53:24.426 --> 53:27.145
Did I really live a good life?
53:29.108 --> 53:30.405
I don't know.
53:34.091 --> 53:37.693
I've never opened up like this
with anybody before.
53:40.218 --> 53:42.929
We've got time till 'Ganga Aarti' ceremony.
Keep talking.
53:46.755 --> 53:48.755
I feel very happy, you know?
53:49.878 --> 53:52.565
What makes you really happy?
53:54.179 --> 53:57.132
Seeing Janaki dance,
53:57.133 --> 53:58.608
makes me really happy.
53:59.718 --> 54:02.327
I too feel like meeting Janaki.
54:03.057 --> 54:05.362
She's an excellent dancer, isn't she?
54:08.152 --> 54:10.980
I too wanted to be a dance teacher once.
54:15.846 --> 54:18.135
I've learnt dance during my childhood.
54:19.158 --> 54:23.048
Before my marriage, I've danced several times
during temple festivals.
54:24.673 --> 54:26.658
But, after marriage...
54:27.220 --> 54:29.025
I danced only once.
54:29.947 --> 54:31.587
And he didn't like it.
54:33.603 --> 54:35.080
So I stopped it right then.
54:38.095 --> 54:41.236
Had you told me this earlier,
we could've gone to her institute.
54:42.001 --> 54:43.384
That's okay.
54:44.816 --> 54:46.411
The moment I saw you, I felt that
54:46.412 --> 54:48.215
there's a dancer hiding within you.
54:49.054 --> 54:50.398
Please don't say such things.
54:50.399 --> 54:51.843
I feel awkward.
54:53.135 --> 54:54.685
When will Ganga Aarti ceremony begin?
54:54.686 --> 54:56.586
It will take another 3-4 hours.
54:57.216 --> 54:59.076
What can we do till then?
55:00.317 --> 55:02.677
Subbu had told me that
the boating experience is good here.
55:04.691 --> 55:06.712
It's better to do the boating in the morning.
55:09.121 --> 55:11.588
Then... What can we do now?
55:14.606 --> 55:17.118
There's gonna be a 'Sitar' performance
at Kala Kendra today.
55:17.119 --> 55:18.165
It's quite nearby.
55:18.166 --> 55:19.173
Shall we go there?
55:19.719 --> 55:21.046
Is it? Let's go there then.

Do you know that?

Here, lizards don't chirp,
55:38.516 --> 55:39.899

It's okay.
57:37.031 --> 57:38.195
It's alright.
57:47.995 --> 57:49.261
Shall I talk to him?
57:52.168 --> 57:53.332
Go ahead.
58:09.392 --> 58:10.853
Please forgive me.
58:23.478 --> 58:26.665
Isn't it so tough to travel wearing a saree?
58:28.984 --> 58:30.078
Isn't it?
58:31.492 --> 58:33.828
She hated wearing it.
58:39.312 --> 58:41.131
It was for our marriage that
she wore a saree.
58:44.968 --> 58:46.860
But it was only for a short while.
58:46.861 --> 58:48.423
After that, for our marriage reception,
58:48.812 --> 58:51.290
she wore a white and white...
I don't know that attire's name.
58:51.929 --> 58:53.320
She wore something like that.
58:53.632 --> 58:54.789
She looked so pretty in it.
58:58.242 --> 58:59.953
We used to travel a lot.
59:00.625 --> 59:01.750
After...
59:03.171 --> 59:05.390
After our baby's arrival,
she changed completely.
59:09.148 --> 59:11.187
She'd call me back to back.
59:11.656 --> 59:13.453
She'd get angry if I ask her about our baby.
59:13.943 --> 59:15.483
[soft music playing]
59:17.109 --> 59:18.546
As if she doesn't like the baby.
59:19.031 --> 59:21.346
She wouldn't let me know
even if our baby is unwell.
59:23.119 --> 59:26.588
I was too stressed out due to all this
as well as my work pressure...
59:26.674 --> 59:27.979
so one day I lost it.
59:28.091 --> 59:29.260
I...
59:29.651 --> 59:30.908
snapped at her.
59:33.096 --> 59:34.877
But... I didn't expect her to do this.
59:40.843 --> 59:42.671
I didn't know that she was unwell.
59:45.093 --> 59:46.882
I can't do anything now. I'm helpless.

Leela's tour group was here

01:02:45.022 --> 01:02:46.444
They're at Gwarighat now.
01:02:46.445 --> 01:02:47.811
- Please drop her there.
- Okay.

Didn't I tell you not to worry?
01:02:52.916 --> 01:02:54.485

What happened?
Don't you feel like going to them?
01:04:20.394 --> 01:04:21.777
You may leave.
01:04:22.323 --> 01:04:24.143
I'll go alone from here.
01:04:24.660 --> 01:04:25.822
No, let's not do that.
01:04:25.823 --> 01:04:27.095
It's only a few steps away.
01:04:27.096 --> 01:04:28.663
I'll leave only after dropping you off.

If you come with me...
01:04:34.729 --> 01:04:36.596
they'll misunderstand me.
01:04:37.886 --> 01:04:39.112
You're right.
01:04:39.387 --> 01:04:40.949
But, will you be able to go alone?
01:04:45.376 --> 01:04:48.962
You've helped me a lot.

whatever money you spent.

Haven’t seen you for a while.
Where were you, Leela, my babygirl?

I was talking to Murugan, Appa.

Oh, is it?
01:06:33.641 --> 01:06:34.747
So, what did Murugan say?
01:06:34.894 --> 01:06:36.506
Murugan didn’t say anything, Appa.
01:06:36.507 --> 01:06:38.013
I told him I want another fish.
01:06:38.014 --> 01:06:39.216

catch another one just like it, okay?

we’ll have to go to Kashi.

It’s very far away, dear.
01:08:06.987 --> 01:08:09.133
It’ll take two or three days to get there.
01:08:09.134 --> 01:08:10.945
We’ll need to take a train.

in that crowd, what will I do?

Usually, no one who ends up here ever leaves.

They all die and vanish here.

can understand everyone else, Dad.
01:11:11.034 --> 01:11:12.823
Maybe she couldn’t understand you.

Didn’t you ask
why she behaved like that, Dad?

Whatever it is, come here.

I don't know where she went missing from.
01:12:05.827 --> 01:12:08.268

Or maybe…

Maybe this is who I am.
01:13:50.133 --> 01:13:51.227

I’m talking to you this much

is because of him.

01:54:27.745 --> 01:54:29.581
I was so stressed,
01:54:29.681 --> 01:54:31.781
and you chose that moment to tell me a story.
01:54:32.626 --> 01:54:34.173
How could I listen?
01:54:35.245 --> 01:54:36.549
That’s true.
01:54:37.311 --> 01:54:38.318
So, tell it now.
01:54:41.572 --> 01:54:43.207
I’m not in the mood.
01:54:43.591 --> 01:54:44.724
Oh!
01:54:45.204 --> 01:54:46.870
Is this revenge?
01:54:46.871 --> 01:54:47.925
Yes, revenge.
01:54:48.134 --> 01:54:49.775
[both laugh]
01:54:51.859 --> 01:54:52.865
Come on, tell it.
01:54:53.801 --> 01:54:55.404
Do you like listening to stories?
01:54:55.572 --> 01:54:57.829
Um… I’ve loved them since childhood.
01:54:57.830 --> 01:54:58.884
A lot!
01:54:58.885 --> 01:55:03.892
Who told you stories as a child?
Your grandmother?
01:55:04.516 --> 01:55:06.658
You said it right. Yes, my grandmother.
01:55:06.938 --> 01:55:08.749
She told me so many stories.
01:55:08.750 --> 01:55:11.005
I grew up listening to them all.
01:55:11.444 --> 01:55:12.451
Oho!
01:55:12.625 --> 01:55:13.684
Even now,
01:55:13.685 --> 01:55:16.074
I remember every single one.
01:55:16.399 --> 01:55:18.643
That’s how much I love stories.
01:55:18.644 --> 01:55:21.726
That’s why I ask you for one too.
01:55:21.919 --> 01:55:23.723
Tell me a story.
01:55:23.724 --> 01:55:24.948
Alright then,
01:55:24.949 --> 01:55:27.567
how about the story of two friends,
a mud ball and a dried leaf
01:55:27.568 --> 01:55:29.162
who travelled to Kashi?
01:55:29.163 --> 01:55:30.214
What's that story?
01:55:30.215 --> 01:55:34.480
Well... A mud ball and a dried leaf
once planned to visit Kashi.
01:55:34.481 --> 01:55:36.138
On their way,
01:55:36.139 --> 01:55:37.713

Hello?
01:57:10.099 --> 01:57:12.645
Aren’t you getting up?
It’s already morning.
01:57:16.052 --> 01:57:17.059
We should leave, right??
01:57:17.559 --> 01:57:18.565
Hello?
01:57:19.811 --> 01:57:20.818

Sir, tea?
01:58:07.432 --> 01:58:08.439
Hot tea!
01:58:08.685 --> 01:58:10.428
Yes, two cups.
01:58:16.928 --> 01:58:19.004
