All the time she keeps harassing me.
What ruckus are you creating? - Do keep quiet some times.
You have got such an attitude.
You have come to complain to me.
You just keep sitting like a queen with your child.
You just eat and laze around.
Is this your daddy's property where you can eat for free?
Hey, have you brought anything from your daddy to eat for free?
Her husband also earns. She is dependent on her husband.
Move aside.
Uncle, a fight is taking place at your home.
They have asked you to come immediately.
What happened?
Uncle, please wait for two minutes.
Okay, come soon.
In whose house it is taking place?
In my house or your house?
Let's go. Hurry up.
We don't want to live here. Every day you are cribbing.
We will go and live in the other house.
You are a fool.
My married life is ruined because of you.
Not because of me, but because of you
my first marriage was ruined.
I won't let my second marriage to be ruined.
You think you are some big-wig. You are blaming me.
If I was so bad why did you live here?
Yes, I made a mistake by staying here.
Had I left this divorce wouldn't have taken place.
You were here to create problems for me.
You didn't leave at that time, so leave now, you fool.
You too don't know who you should argue with.
If you throw a stone in mud it will splash on us only.
Hey, woman, mind your tongue or else I will break your jaw.
And take away this crybaby.
God knows how you begot it?
Wow. As if you begot many children.
The house is empty but look at the barren woman's attitude.
You can't bear children and you won't let others have...
Hey, woman!
What are you doing?
Why are you fighting?
Sadiq, what is going on?
I am asking you.
What is going on?
Why are you asking him?
Ask your wife.
Yes, ask me. I am at fault.
But what has happened? Why are you fighting?
I haven't got a child. She has a child.
So they talk to me in insulting manner.
And she too takes her side.
Squeeze my neck and kill me.
This old woman has one foot in the grave
still she doesn't mend her ways.
What are you saying? - Yes, yes, I am at fault.
You are as pure as milk.
Will you keep quiet?
Why are you fighting? Why are you creating a scene?
Look, there is no use of shouting.
These women's fighting is never going to end.
I will do one thing.
I will go and live in the house near the mosque.
But... - Look, don't say anything at all.
Your wife is not going to let me have a happy married life.
I am going to live in the house near the mosque.
Yes, your married life is very happy.
That is why it is troubling you, right?
Don't interfere in this.
We have had enough. We have tolerated enough.
She abuses my child like anything.
She doesn't take care of the child.
Why should I take care of this crybaby?
It is going to die now or later.
What are you saying?
Come here.
My husband slapped me because of you. - Come inside.
You are going to suffer.
Something bad will happen to you.
My husband slapped me because of them.
You are also taking his side. - You are fighting without reason.
The child is not well.
Take proper care, okay?
Take care of him.
'God is great.'
'I bear witness that there is no God except the One God.'
'I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.'
Dear, what happened?
Come, my child.
'I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.'
What happened, Salman?
'Hurry to the prayer.'
What happened to my child?
Salman. - 'Rise up for salvation.'
Give him to me. - Salman.
'Rise up for salvation.'
Go and close the door.
What happened?
No, no.
'Prayer is better than sleep.'
Hey, Sadiq. - Yes?
Did you make a list of the materials for cooking?
Yes, I did, Aaba. I have prepared the full list.
But have you brought sugar to make sweet dish?
That is why I have come.
All the material for wedding has come.
Give me your house opposite the mosque to store the materials.
Aaba, don't you know?
What? - He has gone to live there.
What? Opposite the mosque?
Why? - It's nothing, Aaba.
The daily fights among the women in the house.
So I have gone to live there.
Good. The daily bickering will stop.
Now pay attention to cooking. - Okay.
What to do about the material?
Hey, Subhan. - Yes?
Your pavilion is available, right?
Or have you booked it for someone else?
What is this, Aaba? How can I let go of your booking?
I will set up the pavilion one day in advance.
Very good.
What to do about the material?
'God is great.'
What happened to him?
Salman, what happened to my child?
What happened again?
What happened? - Check him.
What happened?
Did the ant bite you?
What happened? Salman. - No, no.
No, no. Nothing happened. - Look.
'Rise up for salvation.'
No, my baby, no, no. - Don't cry, Salman.
Look, there is a cat. A cat.
What happened, my child?
Fan him.
Don't cry. - Doctor has arrived.
Go and check who is there. - Greetings, sir.
When did you come to live here? - A couple of days ago.
Hello, baby. Baby.
No, no, look here.
It is over.
He has a little fever.
Is he taking milk properly?
Not his mother's milk. He is taking other milk.
It is over. It is over, my child.
It is over, dear.
It looks like the child is not getting enough sleep.
I am writing down some blood tests and prescribing some medicines.
Okay. - Give them to him three times a day.
We will see what to do after we get the blood test report.
My baby. - Okay, sir.
Calm down, dear. No, no.
The child is not sleeping properly.
He will feel better when he gets enough sleep.
It is over, Salman.
What happened to you? - Okay, sir.
Why are you crying?
What happened to my baby? Why are you crying?
Take care of the child. - It's done.
Where can I get blood test done?
Go to RK Patil clinic.
'It is announced to all the villagers that'
'the wedding of the daughter of Aaba Patil of our village'
'is being conducted tomorrow morning at half past 10'
'in front of the temple, so all the villagers'
'should come near the temple at half past 10 tomorrow morning.'
'Lunch will be provided.'
Hey, Dina, hurry up. The wedding procession has arrived.
Yes, go ahead. I will attend to the work here.
Come soon.
The wedding procession has arrived. Finish work quickly.
Okay, let us go.
Hey, Amol. Is the dish ready? - Yes. Check it.
Let me check. - Uncle do it fast.
Work fast. - It's almost done.
"The horn sound is very loud. Tell me what to do now?"
"Sometimes dance a slow dance and sometimes dance vigorously."
Hey, stop it. Stop it. Move ahead. Move ahead.
Move ahead. Move ahead.
Play it after we pass the mosque.
Move ahead.
Listen. - Yes.
Why did they stop playing the song?
We don't play in front of the mosque.
We respect their religion's rules.
I see.
We need to respect some of the rules of religion.
I see. I see. - Yes.
Is that so? - Yes.
Okay, fine. We will dance further on.
Let us go.
"Play so loud that eardrums would shatter."
"Let my legs break, but let me dance."
"Let me dance."
"Play so loud that eardrums would shatter."
"Let my legs break, but let me dance."
"As if struck by epileptic stroke..."
"As if struck by epileptic stroke, we should collapse."
"Sometimes dance a slow dance and sometimes dance vigorously."
It is getting late.
Bring the bridegroom to the stage. - Sit down.
The auspicious time is nearing.
"The wedding of the bride"
"and the groom is taking place!"
"To begin, I bow to Lord Ganesha"
"the merciful ocean of knowledge."
"Dispel my ignorance and grant me knowledge and intelligence."
"O Lord of Moreshwar."
"The wedding of the bride and the groom is taking place!"
[Sanskrit chants]
'Listen! Listen! Listen!'
'Peace be unto you.'
'By this announcement all those present are being informed'
'that in the neighbouring Saraigaon'
'Mr. Abdul Wahab Ansari Tarkariwale's father'
'Mr. Abdul Salam Ansari expired at 10 o'clock in the morning.'
Did you see? You heard that?
You respect their religion's rules. Do they respect our religion?
Where and what to say something? What occasion it is?
'So all the gentlemen should attend.'
Listen, we will start again.
[Sanskrit chants continue]
Do these announcements have any sense?
There was such an auspicious occasion in the village.
After great efforts and manipulations
the bride's father fixed this wedding date.
And exactly on the day of the wedding
they announced the news of someone's death?
I guess that the day was inauspicious
for both the father of the bride and the groom. - Yes.
Let us go. - Come.
Give me water.
What was the need to give news of the death in such a hurry?
Why?
Wasn't there a wedding in the village?
You gave the news at the exact time of exchanging garlands.
So you should have... - Did the person inform me before dying?
Had he informed me before dying, I would have told him
to die tomorrow instead of today.
That there is a wedding in out village.
Next time I will do that, okay?
Not like that. But if you had waited a bit
and sent the news through someone...
Now you will teach me when and what I should do.
And I have told you thousand times
that I don't like any meddling in religious matters.
Did I say anything like that?
I am just... - Don't try to teach me.
Go and cook food.
Go.
What a great timing from the announcer!
Here, the groom was about to place the garland
and there, the news of death was announced at the same time.
We must appreciate it, okay?
He is absolutely perfect in the matter of timing.
Even our cock wakes up on hearing his voice.
Anyway, he has an affinity to the people of the village.
He must have suggested an alliance for Aaba's daughter
and Aaba must have refused.
So is that why he did this mischief?
Why would he do a mischief?
He conveyed the news because he received it.
Hey, stupid, shut up.
Doesn't he know about what news to convey at what time?
Yes. - Now tell me, an auspicious ritual is going on
and he says attend a funeral.
Would it have hurt if he had delayed it by half an hour? - Right.
Look, he made a mistake there, but he was doing his job.
Sadiq, don't defend him unnecessarily.
In good times he unnecessarily makes public announcements.
And if we go to talk to him he scolds us. - Yes.
Why would I defend him?
I just said that he was doing his job.
Whatever it may be, but I liked his timing very much.
'God is great.'
'I bear witness that there is no God except the One God.'
Salman. What happened, Salman?
What happened? No, no.
What happened to my baby?
Rukhsana, why does he cry at this time only?
Earlier he never used to do this.
Who knows what has happened?
After we shifted to this place, he has begun to wake up suddenly
and keeps on crying.
He must be waking up due to the sound of this call for prayer.
In that house there was not this much sound.
He is not used to this sound.
But he has begun to cry more after shifting to this place.
What happened?
He will get used to the sound.
Give him to me.
Go and do your work. I have to go early to the hotel.
Hey, Salman.
What happened?
'Prayer is better than sleep.'
Buy onions! Buy potatoes! But garlic!
Uncle. Uncle.
Yes, dear? - What is the price of onions?
Onions are 20 rupees per kilo.
Give me half kilo.
What happened, dear? What happened, my baby?
No, no. - Why is your child crying so much?
Uncle, he is not well. His fever is not coming down.
Have you got him treated?
We had taken him to the clinic.
What will the doctor do?
You have shifted to another place, right?
He might have been affected by someone's evil eye.
Take him to a physician. He will suggest a remedy.
Okay, uncle. I will talk to my husband.
Do talk. - Give it.
Take this.
Okay, shall we go, my child?
Take this. - Okay.
Do take care of the child.
Okay, uncle.
No, baby.
Buy potatoes! But onions!
Rafiq. - What?
Did you talk to your brother?
Have you reconciled?
Not yet. - Don't do this.
You are older. Now or in future you have to face him.
I will worry about it later.
They are younger. You have to display maturity.
Who should act sensibly? You or him?
Shouldn't he also understand?
Is the older brother always supposed to make peace?
Yes. You know how Sadiq is.
Even if he understands, he will still wait for you.
Do you understand?
The fights among your women will never end.
We have to act sensibly.
You may live separately, but don't let it affect relations.
Do you understand? - Yes.
His child is unwell. Do you know?
The child is suffering from fever.
Go and check on him.
Think about it.
You are right, Mr. Bange.
I do want to conduct my daughter's wedding
but you know about the income from cultivation this year.
Mr. Ismail, have faith in God.
You see, such proposals don't come easily to us.
The boy is very nice.
He has a job. Why are you letting go of the proposal?
And don't worry about money.
You will get time.
Arrange for money in whatever way you can
but don't let go of the proposal, that's all I wish.
God is great.
'God is great.'
'I bear witness that there is no God except the One God.'
Iqbal.
Sadiq. - Yes?
I need to talk to you.
Tell me what happened?
I need money.
For my child's treatment.
How much do you want?
250 rupees.
I don't have 250 rupees.
I have only this much.
I will need the rest of it.
Give it to me. I will arrange the rest of it.
Subhan, are you borrowing to drink alcohol?
I swear on my life. I need it for my child.
People are ready to offer alcohol when I am broke
but when my child is not well, no one is ready to lend me money.
Money works in strange way.
Even if not for a good deed
but give it.
I will repay you as soon as Aaba pays me.
Stop it. Stop it.
Haven't I brought a toy for you?
Stop it.
Salman. Salman. How are you? Sallu.
Greetings, brother. - Greetings.
Rukhsana. - Yes?
Hold him.
He has begun to cry.
Wow.
What happened to my baby?
You child is not well.
Didn't you feel like informing me?
Have you seen what his condition is?
Brother, he is unable to sleep here.
Why?
The mosque is right opposite my house.
So the sound from the loudspeaker is very loud.
He is not used to it.
The sound startles him and he wakes up.
His fever also doesn't come down.
Have you done anything about his treatment?
It is going on. Tomorrow I will again take him to the doctor.
Do that, but I think that you should come back to live with us.
The house feels empty without the child.
And I also don't feel happy.
The house makes me restless.
Brother, this is also our house.
It means you are still angry.
It is not so
but the women will again start bickering.
And have we left the village?
We are staying here only.
We will keep meeting.
Do as you wish.
But tomorrow do take him to the doctor.
I will.
Let me know if you need anything. - Okay.
Shall I go now?
Have tea.
I had it earlier.
May I go?
Okay.
Come in, sir.
Sir, the pills you gave earlier didn't help.
He has been restless form the beginning
but after we shifted here he has been crying a lot.
'God is great.'
It is such a loud sound.
How will he be able to sleep?
I will prescribe a tablet. - Okay.
Break it into four pieces. - Okay, sir.
Every night before sleeping
give him one piece dissolved in milk.
Then he will sleep. - Okay, sir.
Make sure that there is no noise around him.
Get this medicine and if possible, tell the Mullah
if it is possible to do something about this sound.
It will improve his condition.
'Rise up for salvation.' - I will carry your bag.
Let us go. - What happened, Salman?
'Rise up for salvation.'
Hey, where is Sadiq?
He has gone to buy materials.
He will be back soon. - Okay, okay.
Hello, Anna, when did you come? - Just now.
Where had you gone?
I had gone to get materials.
What shall I give you? Fritters or tea?
Give me a plate of fritters and make a nice cup of tea.
Okay, I will make it.
Take this, sir. - Yes. Nice.
Sister-in-law, you?
Had you come to meet your son? - Yes.
Good.
First you drive him out and then come to meet him.
I said it casually. I know everything.
It is good to live separately.
At least they live in peace.
Women can't live in harmony.
Who will bother since it's an everyday affair?
The first wife left him. The second one should not leave him.
So it will be better if they live separately.
Forge tit. Have tea. - No, no, I don't want tea.
I will go and check on the baby.
Rafiq told me that the child is very ill.
So I will go and see him.
Had Rafiq come to your house?
Yes, Anna, brother had come.
You see, sister-in-law?
Hadn't I told you?
Both your sons are very sensible.
Mother, go home. I will be there.
Okay, I am going.
Sadiq. - Yes, Anna?
What is wrong with your child?
Nothing, Anna. His fever is not coming down.
I took him to the physician but it made no difference.
You should take him to the doctor.
I did take him to the doctor in our village.
He has prescribed medicine.
Is the doctor in the village good?
You should take him to the doctor at the district level.
You should not be careless.
Don't do what you did last time.
Hey, let me know if you need money.
Okay, Anna. - Don't be careless.
Salman. Look here.
Look at this.
Finish quickly. The baby must be hungry.
We have to feed him milk.
Hey, Salman.
No, no. Not to you. Not to you.
It is good that you stayed over.
Now stay here only till he gets well. - Yes, yes.
She cannot handle him.
And he has become crankier than earlier.
Look, how he is crying? - No, no.
He is crying after coming here
because of the sound of the loudspeaker.
There also we were hearing it.
Not this loud a sound.
It is the start of our day.
It is related to our religion.
He will slowly get used to it.
Son, go and freshen up. Go.
'Listen! Listen!'
'All the residents of the village are being informed that'
'from tomorrow a programme of religious discourse'
'has been organised in our village for four days.'
'The programme of religious discourse by'
'H. B. P Prahlad Maharaj Karamchekar of Pachavanya'
'who makes people laugh with his religious discourse'
'and spreads awareness on social issues has been organised.'
'So all the senior citizens of the village have to attend'
'the religious discourse for four days.'
'And the young people have to attend the religious discourse'
'at the spare time available to them.'
'Thank you.'
There are only two rooms. - Okay.
So paint both the rooms nicely from inside and outside.
The house is old. You have already seen it. - Yes.
It is badly damaged from inside.
So you will have to use putty before painting it.
Okay?
Hello, Mr. Bange. - Hello.
Just take care of it.
Sadiq, give me tea. - Okay.
Listen. - Yes?
Religious discourse has been organised in the village. - Okay.
So from tomorrow supply breakfast and three times tea.
It is the order from the temple.
Did you hear? - I will do it.
The religious discourse was enjoyable today.
The preacher makes us laugh so much.
And in addition we will hear something about God and religion.
It will be good.
You see, it is the job at the Mullah's house.
Otherwise I wouldn't have asked you.
How can I afford to work for only this much? Think about it.
He is an old man. I have to handle everything for him.
You know that. Please do it.
Sadiq. - Yes?
Handle tomorrow's arrangement. - Okay.
You may forget and keep everybody hungry.
No, brother, how can I forget?
It is a religious deed. I will come.
And add the bill for today's two cups of tea to the account
for the religious discourse. - Okay, I will note it down.
Look here. Look at the doll.
Give it quickly. He is crying.
Rukhasana, he will feel better now. The medicines have been changed.
Salman.
Come on. Take it. Look at this.
Quickly feed him.
It's over. It's over, my child.
It's over. Salman, it's over, - Why are you crying?
"He, who knows what is best for him."
"His parents are really blessed."
"The clan in which children of pious thoughts are born."
"Even God is overjoyed with that person."
"The clan in which children of pious thoughts are born."
Look, Subhanya.
He is walking unsteadily.
Hey, Subhanya. - Who is it?
Hey, come here. Come here. Come fast.
Anna.
Anna, I was looking for you.
What is this?
Does this suit you?
Religious discourse is going on here. People are chanting God's name.
And you went to drink alcohol?
Anna, please forgive me for that.
But Anna, first turn the loudspeaker's direction.
Instead of other things, why are you complaining about the loudspeaker?
Anna, my child was not well since many days.
Okay. - Anna, we couldn't sleep at all.
Now the child is better. But the sound of this loudspeaker...
The loudspeaker is not more important than the child.
We will change its direction. - Anna.
But while the religious discourse is going on
you must not drink alcohol. - I will stop it.
Anna, I won't drink alcohol. - Damya.
Yes, Anna.
Tomorrow morning turn the direction of the loudspeaker
away from that street.
Okay? Well, Subhanya. - Yes, Anna?
From tomorrow onwards you will stay in the temple.
Anna, I am always near the temple. Ask these people.
Yes, Anna, he is always there. He is always behind the temple.
The whole day he keeps sleeping.
And suddenly he disappears. - Really?
Yes. - Then from tomorrow onwards you will stay
in the temple in the night as well.
Okay, Anna. Anna, won't I obey if you tell me?
Go. Go and sleep now.
Take care of your child. - Okay.
Got it? And don't waste money after alcohol. Okay?
And from tomorrow if I see you walking unsteadily
I will personally fix a loudspeaker to your home.
No, no. - Okay. Go.
Go carefully.
Look ahead.
"The clan in which children of pious thoughts are born."
'God is great.'
This is a daily problem. Go and talk to him.
If it goes on like this what will happen to my child?
Day and night it is the same thing.
My child's health is worsening.
Mother, do tell him.
Sadiq, I have seen it. Take someone with you and talk to him.
'Rise up for prayer.'
Fix the chain. - I will do it.
I have noticed it.
Fix that as well. - I will do it.
Rukhsana, why have you come here?
Brother, I want to talk to you. - What happened?
The doctor said that he is not sleeping well.
He wakes up with a start due to the loudspeaker of the mosque.
Tell Bange to turn the loudspeaker in another direction.
Subhan's child was not well at the time of religious discourse.
At that time we had changed the direction of the loudspeaker.
I myself had changed it.
Who will go and talk to Bange?
My husband is not going to say anything.
Brother, please try to talk to him.
Okay. Go. I will do something.
Okay, fine.
Go.
Go and talk to him. - I will.
Come to my house in the night.
We will see what can be done. Okay?
Hello, Mr. Bange.
Hello.
I wanted to talk to you. - Tell me.
Sadiq has shifted to this place.
Yes, I know.
He shifted because you were fighting, right?
You see, Mr. Bange, the women cannot live in harmony.
So we thought that we should live separately.
That is the trend in your house.
First you ruined my niece's life
and now you are ruining this one's as well.
Mr. Bange, why are you digging up the past?
I wanted to talk to you about a different matter.
What different matter?
His child is very sick. So...
Get him treated.
Give him 'jhimjhim' water.
Yes, we do that, but I want to talk about a different matter.
You see, Mr. Bange, the loudspeaker is facing my house.
So my child wakes up with a start due to the morning prayer call.
Should I stop giving the prayer call for your benefit?
We have only two streets.
There may be two or ten streets but what do you mean to say?
The prayer call is a part of our religion.
No one can make any changes in it.
Are you asking me to stop giving the prayer call?
Did we ask you to stop it? - So?
Just changing the direction of the loudspeaker will do.
Very good. Our people are here, our streets are here
but I should change its direction the other way?
Should I make other people hear it?
Do talk sensibly. You are talking nonsense.
Isn't religion important?
It is, Mr. Bange. Religion is important. What you say is right.
My child is not well. Do think about that.
Don't give the excuse of your child.
Don't other people have children?
Are you the only fortunate one to have a child?
The rest of the people tell me
that my prayer call tells them the time.
And you? Have you ever come for offering prayer at dawn?
And you arrogantly ask me to change the direction of the loudspeaker?
Sir, why are you taunting me?
I just asked you to change the direction of the loudspeaker.
And what is the connection between changing the direction
of the loudspeaker and religion?
Don't teach me about that.
Learn about religion.
You go and work at others' religious discourse.
Have you ever come to work for religious work for the mosque?
We are upholding the religion.
We don't corrupt it like you do.
And if it troubles you so much then shift to another place
or leave the village, but I won't give up religious duty
for the sake of your child.
I am requesting you because my child is suffering.
Is your child above the religion?
People sacrifice their lives for the sake of religion.
Religion is more important.
I didn't ask you to stop giving the prayer call.
I just asked you to change the direction of the loudspeaker.
Are you threatening me?
I won't change its direction. Do whatever you want to.
'God is great.'
'I bear witness that there is no God except the One God.'
'I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.'
Salman.
I say what is the big deal about it?
How much you should stretch a small matter?
Explain to him.
He just needs to change the direction of the loudspeaker
and do nothing else.
Aaba, I had gone to tell him that only.
So? - He is not ready to listen.
He is giving the excuse of religion.
Is being so fanatic of any use?
Religion is for our benefit.
Yes, but this has nothing to do with religion.
He is taking revenge for the past.
What do you mean? - He divorced is first wife.
Yes. - She is Bange's niece.
And that is why he is angry with him.
How can it be? He is doing his job.
And in addition it is religious work.
Sudhya, what are you saying?
Do you agree with it?
He is very supportive of Bange.
He was saying that he is doing his job.
Now keep listening.
But he is suffering. - Yes.
Is criticizing him now going to achieve anything?
Aaba, I suggest, shall we talk to the Mullah?
No, no, he is not going to listen to the Mullah.
Why? - The Mullah has to listen to him.
Is that so? - He takes care of his food and everything.
No, no, there is no use of talking to him.
Let us do one thing.
Let us talk to Anna.
The whole village listens to him. No one disobeys him.
Why bother Anna for such a minor problem?
Don't worry. From tomorrow your child will sleep.
He will sleep means he will sleep. Let us go.
Bye. Take care of your child.
Hey, we haven't finished even first glass
and you are filling up second one?
I need to take it. I need to boost my courage.
Nonsense.
Bange is very stubborn.
He is not ready to listen at all.
Would he understand the child's misery?
How can he understand?
To feel someone else's child's suffering
you need to have your own child.
He has two wives. - Right.
But he doesn't have even one child.
That's right. - Instead of finding alliances for people of the village
why didn't he pay attention to his family?
He looks very thin but he is full of mischief.
Fill up this glass.
We have to keep awake through the night.
Look, only this much remains.
You have finished your second glass.
We have just started with our second glass.
No cheating while filling glasses, okay?
Fill up the glass. - Fill it up.
Fill it up with your hand. Take it.
Sadiq is suffering a lot because of Bange.
He is going to trouble him.
He is taking revenge about his first marriage.
Would he spare him since he has got this opportunity?
But Bange is giving the excuse of religion.
So what can we do?
There is no connection between using the loudspeaker
for giving the call for prayer and religion.
He is taking revenge.
True. - What else?
Did our village have electricity in earlier times?
So? Were they giving call for prayer through a loudspeaker?
Agreed that giving the call for prayer is religious work.
But is it written anywhere that it must be given through a loudspeaker?
So?
He is just making it up.
Listen.
You can continue.
I will go and sleep.
Go to sleep. You have to wake up in the morning.
You are in the first shift.
Yes, yes. Sudhya, let us continue.
Is that a mosquito?
Let it eat. Shall I fill up your glass?
Yes, fill it up.
Oh, my God.
Hey, Anya, wake up. Wake up.
Let me sleep. - Hey, wake up. Isn't it your shift?
You go. - Hey, wake up.
Let me sleep.
Hey, Dinya, he is not waking up. What shall we do now?
Get up. Get up.
What shall we do? - But it is his shift.
He is not waking up. What shall we do now?
Won't we have to do this job?
That's right. - Hurry up.
He will not wake up. Hurry up.
Leave it. We will have to do the work.
Come on. Come on.
Hurry up. - I am coming.
Why should we go to work when it is his shift?
Let it be. Let him sleep.
Sudhya, have you become sober?
I didn't get drunk. - It had no effect on me.
I suggest shall we kick him to make him wake up?
No, no, don't do that.
Let us do the work first. - Okay.
Careful, may be someone see us.
Wait. Shall I do it or you will?
No, no, I will do it. Wait.
Hey, hurry up.
Come. Hurry up.
Come on. Come on. Hurry up. Run. Run.
Let's go and have drink.
'God is great.'
Sadiq.
Hey, Sadiq.
Wake up, son. - Mother, what happened?
The electricity is off.
The sound of the prayer call is coming
but the sound form the loudspeaker is not coming.
Go, light a candle. Go.
Yes, I will light it.
Go careful.
It is good.
How peacefully the child is sleeping?
He will feel better. The child will get enough sleep.
Finish all the work while the child is sleeping.
Don't make sound, okay? My child is sleeping so peacefully.
O God, let the electricity be off like this every morning
and let my child get enough sleep.
I didn't go home in the night
so my wife didn't give me tea and breakfast.
Hadn't I told you not to go home?
Aaba, get us something. - Hey, Sadiq.
Tell me, Aaba. - Make strong tea. Very strong.
These boys have started to sleep in daytime.
Aaba, what will happen if they keep drinking through the night?
Look at what he is saying.
We had very important work.
Hey, stop it. The whole village knows what you do in the night.
Hey, stupid, shall I slap you? All this happened because of you.
What have I done?
Did your son wake up and cry this morning?
No, he was sleeping very peacefully.
And today there was no sound of the loudspeaker.
Yes. How will the loudspeaker make sound today?
We had cut off the electricity. - What?
Hey, Dinya, speak softly.
It is Aaba's idea.
Aaba suggested it and we kept awake through the night
and played this trick in the morning, you know?
Aaba, I don't know how to thank you.
Don't thank me. Give me strong tea.
Let us see for how many days you are going to make it for me.
I will make it right now.
I will make it anytime you say. What is the problem?
Today also we will drink and keep awake through the night.
Then my wife will divorce me.
[Islamic prayer]
Sheikh Rafiq's son Rahim.
'Sheikh Umar's son Javed.'
'Sheikh Pasha, Sheikh Khalil his son Amjad'
'has not visited Madarsa since four days.'
'You are requested...' - May his face burn.
If he wants to call the children to the Madrasa
he should have shouted their names.
Children do come.
What is the need to make announcement?
My child's discomfort has increased.
Doesn't this idiot understand?
'Send them to the Madrasa at the earliest.'
No. No, my child.
'You are being informed again.'
'Sheikh Rafiq's son Rahim...'
He is taking your son's name. Send him to the Madrasa.
Bange will die due to constantly shouting.
The whole village will come to know.
Send him. Look there he is playing.
Hey, Aladdin. Come here.
'You are requested...' - Come here.
...that you should send your children...'
Why are you here?
Go to the Madrasa.
Bange is shouting my name.
"Sheikh Pasha, Sheikh Khalil...'
Children have blemished my name all over the village.
'Send your children to the Madrasa at the earliest.'
Yes, Aaba.
It is Sudhya's shift today. - Is he coming?
Why would he come today?
He must be hiding in a corner in his house.
He becomes very meek before his wife
but to us he says that he is a tiger.
He is very meek. - Let it be.
We will get to drink extra.
Look, he has come. - Forget extra drink.
Hadn't I told you that Sudhya is a tiger?
You had said that he becomes meek in front of his wife.
I knew. Hey, Sudhya, sit down. Have a drink.
No, I don't want it. - Sit and drink.
No, I don't want it. - Have a little.
No, my friend.
Hey, it is your turn today. How will you work if you don't drink?
You don't know what will happen to me if I don't go home.
See? Hadn't I told you?
Sudhya becomes meek in front of his wife
but before us he acts as if he is a lion.
He is a coward.
No, whatever it may be, but I am leaving.
Hey, you can't leave today. You have to take out the fuse.
I will do it tomorrow.
If I remove the fuse today, my wife will trouble me.
Anya, you do it. You are under my wife's oath.
Go. We will do it. Go. Go.
Hey, wait. Why can't you do it today?
You will have to stay here.
Hey, let him go. I said I will remove the fuse.
Are you crazy? It is his turn today.
Hey, go if you want to but give us money for alcohol.
Why should I give money?
It is for Sadiq's benefit, right?
Aren't we doing it for his sake?
Sudhya, Sadiq is already facing hardship
because of his son's treatment.
How can we take money from him?
Don't we help out you also?
So either drink alcohol or else give money.
It is better to act like a tiger by drinking alcohol.
Do it. Act like a tiger.
Hey, enough.
I have to act like a tiger. It is not easy.
Let me do it.
I am here, my dear baby.
You have to take medicine, right? Take it. Take it.
How come the electricity went off?
[Regional folk song continues]
What happened? Why is he sitting like this?
I don't know. Ask him.
Hey, what happened?
Does your son sleep properly now?
He slept in the morning but in the afternoon he woke up with a start.
What to do about afternoon?
Look Sadiq, we will have to tell Aaba.
What more can we do?
Forget all that. Prepare three cups of strong tea.
And put more sugar.
Anna. Anna.
Hello.
Sit.
[Song playing on radio]
Would you like to have tea?
No, I just had tea.
What brings you here?
I have casually dropped in.
Since three-four days electricity goes off in the morning.
I too have noticed it.
You know that I have to give a call for prayer in early morning.
So I thought of asking is load shedding has started.
It is government's job. What can we say?
But I am going to the district office.
I will ask them when I go there.
Okay, then. I will go now.
You should have tea.
No, I will come some other time.
It is time for prayer. - Okay. Bye.
[Song playing on radio]
Hey, Rukhsana, pick him up.
He has been crying since a long time.
I am coming. I was bringing water.
Forget about water. First pick him up.
Salman, what happened, my child?
What happened? No, no. No, baby.
Calm down. Mother is here.
Come on. Hurry up.
We must do it quickly. - Let us go.
Let us go.
'God is great.'
Which fuse did you remove? - I removed the same one.
How come the sound is coming? - The electricity if off.
'God is great.'
Sadiq, the electricity is off
so how come the sound is coming from the loudspeaker?
Today the sound of loudspeaker is louder than earlier.
Bange is after my child's life.
It's over, my baby. It will stop in a while.
It is over.
I bear witness that there is no God except the One God.
Mischievous Bange.
He is irritating me.
What happened? - He is very stubborn.
He has bought a battery.
I had an idea that something like this will happen.
Sadiq, there is only one solution to this.
What, Aaba?
Anna.
Hello, Anna. - Hello.
Hello, Suleiman.
Hello.
Anna, where are you going in the afternoon?
I am going to the Village Council.
Can people like us stay at home?
Suleiman. - Yes?
Is there a dispute between Sadiq, the hotel owner and Bange?
Why? What happened?
No, Sadiq met me yesterday.
He told me that his child is not well.
The doctor has said that he needs sleep.
It is true that his child is not well.
But what is its connection with Bange?
Sadiq's house is opposite the mosque.
Yes.
And he says that the sound of the loudspeaker disturbs his sleep.
How can it be?
Why talk nonsense?
The loudspeaker is on throughout the day.
That is not the issue.
Children sleep in the morning and afternoon.
He wakes up with a start in the morning on hearing
the sound of the call for prayer.
And the same happens in the afternoon as well.
Don't people living in that street have children?
No, but his child is suffering a lot.
Is he asking to stop the call for prayer?
No. He suggests changing the direction of the loudspeaker.
Or, to turn down the sound a bit.
Right? Suleiman
your community lives across two streets only in the village.
How much sound do they need?
And how many people come regularly for prayer?
Do you need to be told every day to come for prayer?
That is true.
So?
Tell him to talk directly to Bange.
He and Rafiq had gone to talk to him.
Okay. - But he didn't listen.
Right. He won't listen.
Why? Why won't he listen?
Anna, have you forgotten? - What?
Sadiq's first wife. - Yes.
Wasn't she Bange's sister's daughter?
Oh, yes. Could he still be angry about it?
How can you live with anger in mind?
Shouldn't he think about the child also?
You know Bange's nature. - But...
He doesn't let the Mullah take decisions.
Okay, but something can be done
if a few people like you take the initiative.
Or should we ignore the matter?
Okay, we will try to talk to him.
Try it.
If he doesn't listen then you will have to intervene.
I will intervene, but it will be better
if you can resolve it among yourselves.
Right? It is not a big issue, right?
Okay. - Do it.
I will let you know. - Okay, do it.
Why is he harping about religion?
Which religion has such rules?
They say that it is so in their religion.
He should think about the child.
Sadiq's luck is bad.
When he was living with his brother his sister-in-law used to fight.
And now this.
In my opinion, shouldn't all of them try to explain to Bange?
No one immediately interferes in religious matters.
But this is not related to religion.
But Bange is very arrogant and stubborn.
He surely must be bringing up past grievance.
He is acting like he is after the child's life without a reason.
What if something happens to the child due to their fight?
Nothing like that will happen.
And does anger remain for many days?
Some grumbling does go on.
Doesn't it happen between us?
That's true.
During Ganesha festival also loudspeakers blare day and night.
At that time also there are fights, right?
People are the same everywhere.
They are the same everywhere If we try to talk to or teach someone
they give the excuse of religion.
There is no way to talk to someone.
There is no compassion.
But it was better in our times.
Religion was inside the house and there was peace outside.
Religion should be in people's hearts.
But times have changed now.
Now religion comes first and talks come later.
No one is ready to listen to any one.
Everybody has his own ego.
Hey, money.
How much is the fare? - 40 rupees.
40 rupees.
Take this. Is it okay? - Yes.
Come.
Had you given him the tablet in the morning? - Yes.
Is this the same clinic that doctor told us?
Yes, this is the same clinic.
You should have brought the child to me much earlier.
But it's okay. No problem.
Get the child admitted.
But sir, what is wrong with him?
You see, he is suffering from a disease named
Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy.
Sir, I didn't understand.
You see, during pregnancy, if the mother doesn't get nutritive diet
or if she is under constant stress due to work
this disease can afflict the child.
Or if at the time of delivery, the child gets insufficient oxygen supply
or if the brain gets insufficient blood supply
there is a possibility of this disease.
Because of that the child becomes cranky.
If there is loud sound around him it gives him a lot of pain.
So he starts to cry.
And we cannot overlook the possibility of him having
epileptic attack because of that.
So do one thing.
Deposit money at the counter and get the child admitted.
Sir, I am facing financial crunch so...
But do make some arrangement
because it is necessary to start his treatment.
Please.
Okay, sir.
Okay.
Sadiq, don't worry.
We will find some solution.
Aaba. - Yes?
By now you should have talked to him.
Or didn't you know about this until now?
Anna, I would have solved any other matter in no time.
But how can we intervene in their religion?
I am a politician.
If I say anything people read different meaning in it.
Right? - That is also true.
It current times, one has to refrain from speaking.
Anna. - Yes?
Bange has come.
Hello. - Hello.
Bange, think sensibly. See what you can do.
Anna, does anybody disobey you?
You can ask anything
but don't ask to make changes in religious matters.
Some things are to be done based on religion.
But what is the use of being so rigid?
Shouldn't we care about the child?
But when did we create a hurdle in religious matter?
You are not ready to listen.
You are just harping on religion.
How will it harm religion if you change the direction
of the loudspeaker and turn down the sound a little bit?
Are you going to teach me what I should do?
You have always been a mischief-maker.
When you ruined my niece... - What about it?
Sadiq, don't speak.
Why shouldn't I speak? - Sadiq.
You do mischief by bringing up the past.
I will speak up. - Wait.
Look, this is how he speaks.
How can we talk if he speaks like this?
Had I wanted to do something I would have done it at that time only.
What would you have done?
Sadiq. Wait. Calm down. We are there.
Keep quiet.
Mr. Bange.
I say, won't it be okay if the call for morning prayer
is not announced over the loudspeaker?
Think about it.
You see only a few of us come for prayers, right?
Yes.
What are you saying, uncle Suleiman?
Do you agree with it?
You are so old and yet you don't understand religion?
Are you telling me to stop the call for morning prayer?
Do you know what you are saying?
How can I say that?
How can I tell you to stop giving the call for prayer?
I just said that you should not give the call for morning prayer
through the loudspeaker.
So the child will get some sleep.
Look, uncle
I cannot stop doing religious work for the sake of the child.
Children exist because of the religion.
The religion doesn't exist because of the children.
Mr. Bange, are you the only custodian of religion?
Don't we have religion?
We said it for the sake of the child.
If you are so concerned then sell off the house near the mosque
and buy a house for your brother in another place.
Are you coveting my house as well?
Sadiq, mind your tongue.
Benge. - You are crossing the limit.
Bange, you too were crossing the limit.
Anna, I won't tolerate anything where religion is concerned.
You can decide what you want to do. - But...
And never call me for this matter.
I am leaving.
Anna. - Yes?
Bange is not going to listen.
Why don't you talk to the Mullah?
How can we interfere in the matter of their religion?
Anna, so how will this matter get resolved?
Rafiq, I think that,
I mean till the child gets well
you shift to the house opposite the mosque
and let Sadiq live in the old house.
Okay? Well?
Sadiq, is it okay with you?
Okay.
This is right. - Yes.
Well, Sadiq?
Hey, bring it quickly.
He has been crying since long. - Yes, I am bringing it.
Salman. - Salman.
What happened to my baby?
We will go out.
Salman, what happened?
Is he feeling hot?
These tablets are also not effective.
The doctor in our village is not good.
We should get him admitted to the district hospital very soon.
Salman.
Don't cry...
Salman. - Salman.
It is over, my baby.
Wait. Wait. - Give him to me.
Take him.
Baby, what happened? Look, who has come? Father.
No, dear, no. - Sadiq.
Who has come?
Well? What happened?
Did he agree?
Mother, how can he agree?
Still he is holding on to the past.
What?
He didn't listen to anybody.
Then Anna suggested a solution.
Brother also agreed. - Okay.
Pack all the things in the morning.
Okay.
We have to go and live in that house.
I won't go to live over there.
We will have to go there till the child gets well.
If you love him so much then you too go and live there.
I won't leave this house.
Looks like your brother has instigated you.
Why would he instigate me?
Anna suggested this solution.
Tell Anna that if he has so much affection for them
then he should take them to his house.
As long as I am alive I won't leave this house
and I won't let them come to this house.
Are you a woman or a witch?
Do think about the child.
Yes, I am a witch.
Let the child die. It will make no difference to me.
Wretched woman. Control your tongue
or else I will divorce you.
'God is great.'
The sound of the call for prayer is coming
and still Salman is sleeping?
He's got used to it.
Let him sleep.
Hey, keep water for my bath.
'I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.'
Mother, you will wake him up.
Let him sleep.
You are not at ease without him.
'Hurry to the prayer.'
Salman!
Hey, Salman, wake up.
What has happened? - Wake up.
I say wake up.
Wake up.
What has happened?
Sadiq, my child. My child.
Salman has left us.
Salman.
Mother, why are you crying?
Salman... - Nothing has happened to him.
'God is great.'
How do you know?
Wake him up.
Mother, nothing has happened to him.
Salman, wake up, my child.
Don't you wake up every day?
Salman, look, the sound of the call for prayer is coming.
Wake up. Wake up, Salman.
Salman.
Salman. Wake up.
Salman, don't you wake up every day?
My dear son.
Wake up, my child.
Aren't you my baby? Salman, wake up.
Hey, wake him up.
Mother, please wake him up.
Check what has happened? - Sadiq.
What has happened to your child? - Why he is not responding?
Please check.
Salman.
Salman!
Salman, my son!
Mother!
Salman!
Aaba. Aaba.
What? - Sadiq's son died.
Sadiq's son? - Yes.
When? - This morning.
Oh, God. Let us go.
Yes, right.
He tried very hard but nothing happened.
[Indistinct chatter]
Salman!
My Salman!
Salman!
Anna. Look, how Bange is watching.
He doesn't even feel shame.
He is a rascal.
Aaba.
Yes. - Anna, when did you come?
About an hour ago.
When did this happen? - They said it happened at dawn.
Go ahead and help.
She won't stop crying until the child is brought out.
Go and take the initiative.
Anna, I say that you are the elder so you should have gone there.
Wait. Don't go.
Anna shouldn't go. You should go.
Really? - Yes.
Rukhsana.
[Indistinct people chatter]
Salman! - He is taking away my son.
Don't take away my son.
Let go of my son! - Slowly.
Let go of my son!
Move.
Let go of my son!
Don't take away my son.
Salman!
Let go of my son!
Salman.
Let me go!
Salman!
Let go of my son!
Salman.
Calm down. - Salman.
Sadiq.
Salman.
Put soil in this. - Sadiq.
Put soil in this.
Hey, Bange, stop.
If you throw soil in the grave my son will go to hell.
Sadiq. - Bange, my son died because of you!
Sadiq. - Aaba, what had I told him?
I has just asked him to change the direction of the loudspeaker
and to turn down the sound. - Calm down.
Your religion wouldn't have been violated because of that.
In the name of religion he took revenge on me for his niece
and took my son's life.
You are my and my son's offender.
Go away! - Bange.
Bange, please leave.
His son is dead and he is very angry.
Sadiq.
Leave.
God is great.
'I bear witness that there is no God except the One God.'
'I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of God.'
'Hurry to the prayer.'
'Rise up for salvation.'
'God is great.'
'There is no God except the One God.'
