02x04 - Episode 4

Post by bunniefuu »

It's too cold, Phutani ji.

-It will get warmer in a few days.
-Oh, Dhelu.

-Are you done cleaning?
-No, I'll start now.

-Thank you.
-Yes! Have a few more cups of tea!

We're here to have tea after all.

Both my brothers have rejected
the wedding proposal.

They said they want nothing to do with it.

Your mother?

She'll have to do
whatever my brothers say.

If there is no option,

I'll run away and get married,
Phutani bhaiya.

Oh, wow! Do you see the excitement,
Chanesar bhai?

He is so eager.

If our country's youth were this eager
for the country's development,

we'd have reached the moon by now.

The country has already
reached the moon, Phutani ji.

If you run away and get married,
your brothers won't accept the wedding.

The moment you do something ill*gal,

your brothers will kick you out
of the will.

They made such a big deal over selling
a little piece of farmland.

Once you're gone,
they'll sell off the whole thing.

How are they going to sell everything?

Legally, I'm entitled
to a one-third share of everything.

How are they going to push me out?

The law wasn't made to help the poor.

It was made to keep lawyers employed.

Remember that.

Then?

This way, I won't get married.

A shotgun wedding.

We'll have to arrange
a shotgun wedding for him.

Call it a shotgun wedding,
a forced marriage,

an abduction wedding,
whatever you want.

Why that?

Because we won't need
your family's permission for that,

and socially, it's acceptable.

Amazing!

But will...

Babu Saheb agree to this?

I came here after talking to him.

-Are you well-acquainted with Babu Saheb?
-No.

He is well-acquainted with me.

He said that all he wants
is to get his sister-in-law married off.

He doesn't care whether
the groom shows up smiling

or black and blue.

He doesn't give a damn.

Actually, nobody does.

Since all of you are pushing
for this so hard,

-you can talk to him.
-Talk?

We've already settled it.

Wow!

Babu Saheb has just one condition.

What?

You'll have to get married today.

Today and tomorrow are his days off.

After that, he won't have time.

Is today auspicious?

Babu Saheb considers
all government holidays auspicious.

That's how government officials are.

I have seen it.

Be at Lamletiya Chowk in two hours.

Two of Babu Saheb's men and Tullu
will pick you up from there.

Okay, alright.

-I'll change my clothes and be there.
-Hell no!

This is supposed to be a shotgun wedding.

-It has to look like one.
-Right.

-It should look like you were abducted.
-It should look like

-you were kidnapped.
-Good morning. Good morning, everyone.

-Good morning, sir.
-Everyone is on time today.

Hello, sir.

Chanesar ji, don't sit in the wheelchair.
It doesn't look good.

Especially on the day of inspection.

Is everything ready?

-The inspection team is due any minute.
-Yeah, it's underway.

Let's get ready.

-Gobind.
-Yes, sir.

I have sent you all some questions
on your phones.

Also, the answers to them.

Please memorize them.

Tell everyone to do so.
The inspection team can ask anything.

Okay, sir.
Sir, I am getting married today.

I know I'm making you work
on your day off.

But think of a better excuse.

No, sir. I swear I'm getting
married today.

-Really?
-Yes, sir. It's today.

-Okay. Congratulations.
-Thank you, sir.

But why are you telling me this now?
So late?!

Sir, I just found out.

-Who is the bride?
-She is Babu Saheb's sister-in-law.

-But he is asking you for a bribe.
-Yes, but...

Babu Saheb said that since I can't pay up,

I should marry his sister-in-law.

And he'll make my job permanent.

Sir, after the inspection today,

I will leave to get abducted
since it's a shotgun wedding.

Sir, I had a request.

The groom's family is supposed to be

at the wedding.

My family probably won't show up.

But I want

you to be there.

What is this?

Is this a wedding or bribery?

There's kidnapping involved.

I cannot take part in this
and legitimize it, Gobind.

Lemi-- What, sir?

I mean, I don't want to come there...

and accept this.

I feel things like these
have no place in society.

It's wrong! On many levels!

I can't stop you if you feel
this is right.

No, I don't approve of this.

Okay, sir.

I will memorize the message you sent.

Yes, please.

BHATKANDI

DR. CHETAK KUMAR
PHARMACY

PRIMARY HEALTH CENTER

So this is your first kidnapping,
Tullu bhaiya?



Do you kidnap girls, too?

It was my girlfriend.

I kidnapped her and married her.

-Wow!
-He is amazing.

Have you ordered tea?

-Not yet.
-Hey, three teas please.

I'll drink tea prepared
by someone else after so long.

I didn't really need you two.

In this kind of wedding,
the boy is willingly kidnapped.

-You weren't...
-We got to be free from Babu Saheb

for two hours because of this.

-Could we let go of the opportunity?
-No.

I have seen people fear their fathers.

Some people are even scared
of their mothers.

You guys are the first I've seen
scared of your brother-in-law.

We thought once the new
brother-in-law comes along,

-he'll loosen things up for us.
-He should.

Yes.

Does he beat you guys?

Sometimes, when he is drunk.

Not good.

Not good.

That reminds me, where is Gobind?

The mattress is too hard.
Get this on video.

SOAP AND CLEAN HANDS EVERY DAY,
KEEP DISEASE AND GERMS AWAY.

They misspelled the word "soap."

-Note it down.
-Yes, sir.

They miss simple details.

This is our pharmacy.

Has this been freshly painted?

Yes, we do that regularly.

Don't the patients complain
about the smell?

We do one room at a time.

If we can, we see the patients
outside too.

What is in these boxes?

Extra dressing bandages, just in case.

Mishra ji, did you record
the delivery room?

Yes, ma'am.
I am recording every room.

You have kept the PCM in two places.

Yes, ma'am.
One is in the

seasonal flu section,
and the other is in the body pain section.

Because they're used in both cases.

-You have maintained a register, too.
-Yes, ma'am.

I asked them to maintain this properly.

How many patients come here?

The daily average is around 15-20.

The village population is 5,000.

And you just get 15-20 patients?!

Ma'am, since he came here, the villagers
have been taking care of their health.

No one is falling sick.
Why will they come here then?

Sweeper?

Yes, his name is Dhelu.

Dhelu.

Tell me.

Why is cleanliness necessary in a clinic?

Along with treatment in a clinic,

cleanliness helps to prevent

and stop the spread of diseases.

And it is also said that...

Is is also said that
Godliness is next to--

Cleanliness is next to godliness.

You can also say that a clean place
is God's space. Right, Dhelu bhai?

Yes, sir. I know. I memorized it.

Gobind ji, your phone is ringing.
Please answer--

Where do you dispose of expired things?

That's outside, ma'am. Let me show you.

Good job! Straight then left.

-Hello.-Where are you?

Give me some more time.

-I am stuck at work.-Don't you want to get kidnapped?

I want to. Why won't I?

Have some tea until I get there.

Dhelu, come here.

Read this.

B-I-O, "Bio."

L-O-G-I... "Biologi"?

Even he can't read it.

Will anyone in the village
understand it in English?

Ma'am, we have a solution for that.

"Biological waste."

Where is your complaint box?

Come. Right there.

I am the groom.
Why will you kidnap someone else?

Then try to be punctual!

Okay, Tullu bhai. Don't be upset.

Do one thing,

kidnap me from the clinic.

I'll send you the location.

This is a kidnapping,
not a delivery service.

Try to understand, Tullu bhai.

I am stuck here.
Please come and get me.

This is the box.

So, can we open it?

-Of course.
-No.

I mean...

we don't get that many complaints.
It will take time.

No, ma'am. If you want,
you can open it.

Are you sure? You'll lose points
if there are many complaints.

No problem, ma'am.

Keys?

Okay, let it be.

I can believe you when you're that sure.

I have to go to two more PHCs.

-Would you like some tea?
-No. They have to go to two more PHCs.

She just said so.

He is right.

Okay, ma'am. Thank you.
Keep visiting. I mean...

How do you think it went?

Sir, a little cash, and she'd have
handed you the certificate on the spot.

What's taking them so long? Oh!
They're here! My kidnappers are here!

Hey!

Tullu bhai, you're amazing.

-Blessings, sir.
-What are you doing, Gobind?

Sir, it is my last day as a bachelor.

I need your blessings.

Hey, Phutani bhaiya.

I will miss you there.

Hey, Dhelu. I'll see you.

-Tullu bhai!
-How can they use the ambulance like this?

-Let's go.
-Yes.

Hey, what are you doing?

Are you taking him to his granny's house?
Why are you being so nice?

This is a kidnapping.
Act like you're being kidnapped.

-No friendships.
-Hit him!

Phutani ji, what is this?

-Hit him! Put him in!
-What are you doing?

-Get inside.
-Phutani bhaiya!

Come on!

Is this your first time
seeing a kidnapping?

You all are just...
I will lose my mind one day.

VANDANA...

When I asked you to bring vanaspati ghee,

why are you asking about desi ghee?

You moron!

Hurry up and bring it.

Hurry up.

What is this? Don't put flowers.

Leaves are enough
for this shotgun wedding.

Go!

Hey!

It's not "wets,"

it is "weds."

-Okay.
-Use a "D," not "T."

-Sure, sir.
-Write it.

Hurry up, the groom is here.

Have you all lost your minds?!

RAJ GAREEB
P.A. [CMO]

Have you gone crazy?

Kidnapping, kidnapping, kidnapping!

We just had to pretend in Bhatkandi.

Behave yourself here.

This is going to be my in-laws' house.

It's going to be yours. It's already ours.

Forget respect, just having
clothes to wear is enough.

-Hey!
-Get it?

-Get in.
-Hello, Babu Saheb.

-They got excited and beat me up.
-Don't stand here, get him inside.

I'm coming. You are more eager
than I am.

Five hundred rupees?

I spoke to Chanesar,
and he said 5,000.

So, take the rest from him.

-At least give me 500 more.
-Leave, or I'll take this back, too.

-Come on.
-Where are you taking me?

Keep walking.

Here.

Listen...

-How are we going about the ceremony?
-You'll get to know. Sit here for now.

-Why?
-Sit down.

Water is there.

If you want to go to the loo,
call me from that window. Okay?

Am I a prisoner?

Bro, I am the to-be brother-in-law
of this house.

-You'll become that after the wedding.
-Exactly.

Right now, this is all you are.

-Come on.
-Stay put.

Hey Lord,

you have done everything for me

since I was a kid.

Please help me out this time, too.

Sister! Brother-in-law.
Uncle is here from Phulera.

What a huge house!

He is a PA in the CMO Office.
He has minted a lot of money.

Come on in, Phulera Chief.
Welcome.

I welcome you to Sanjhpur.

-Greetings.
-Bless me.

Oh, my God!

I thought only

Phulera's old Pradhan
couldn't build a new road.

But your roads aren't any better.

If you didn't like the roads here,
you could just fly here in your jet.

See that, Binod?

They'll not spend a dime,

they'll kidnap the groom
for the wedding,

but they want the guests
to come here in a plane?!

Why?

Is the government not getting
a plane ticket for Pradhan-Pati?

He is just Pradhan-Pati.

He's not the president
to get a plane ticket.

I'm Binod.

His shadow.
He takes me wherever he goes.

Greetings, Uncle.

Where is Aunt?

I didn't leave her behind.

She left me after becoming the Pradhan.

-You can't enter without her.
-I told her to come here.

I would take care of the Pradhan's chair.

She refused.

"I won't run things
like the former Pradhan!"

She cried her eyes out.

Why are you just smiling there?
Go get their luggage.

Oh God!

They are just relatives to you.

But to us, they are brothers-in-law.

We can't ask them to carry the luggage.

If they don't, then who will?

Binod.

I am also a guest here.

You have such a big house.
You walk around like a big shot.

Don't you have any servants?

These two are all I've got.

Come on.

Get your blessings.

-Go!
-Be happy.

Go and get the luggage.

Go ahead.

That's enough.
He is a huge curse himself.

-Come on in.
-Welcome, come inside.

Elder brother-in-law,
Vandana has fallen again.

Sister, get onions!

Move! What happened?

Hear me out. Let her smell
Bhushan bhaiya's sock. She'll be fine.

Move, let me check.

Did you get the onions?

Move, idiot!

-Here's the onion.
-Why did you put our hand?

Hurt your hand?! Go and get a spoon.

Dear, take a deep breath.

Take a deep breath!

You need to call a doctor.

She will be fine, don't worry.
Go and get dressed.

You need to call a doctor.

Just go and get ready.
She'll be fine.

-Don't worry.
-You must call a doctor.

Just go!
I told you she'll be fine.

Go!

-Come on, dear. Get up.
-She will be fine?!

Babu Saheb.

I work at a PHC.

If you don't call a doctor,

I will.

Word will spread.

Hey, stop.

I will call the doctor.

Does she have epilepsy?

Gargi ma'am.

Add water and knead.

Keep adding water and mixing the dough.
And prepare a soft dough.

Prepare a smooth dough.

Keep kneading the dough for a few minutes
so that it becomes smooth and soft.

Sorry, I know it's late, but I have to go
and see a patient urgently.

It's dark, and there is a forest
on the way.

They saw a leopard three days ago.

I don't want to go alone.

Will you come?

Do you know what the best thing
about you is?

You never get angry.

That's not true.

-I just know how to hide it.
-Right from here.

That's a good thing, because this
is Babu Saheb's home.

What?

Don't go without me.

It's not just dangerous for women.

Jackals and cheetahs
have been spotted, too.

Let's go.

The doctor is taking too long.

The wedding will be delayed.

Namaste, sir.

This is Dr. Prabhat,
the MO at Bhatkandi PHC.

I know. Why did you bring him?

He saw that I was going alone in the dark...

so he wanted to come along.

Prabhat, you specialize
in neurology, right? Go.

Go on.

Hurry up.

He was seeing patients at the guest house
even on a holiday.

Move, let her breathe.
Remove the pillow, ma'am.

Never give the patient a pillow.
The onions do nothing.

Can you turn her, please?
To the left.

Thank you. Just a second. Yes.

-Tuck this hand under her head. Right.
-One minute.

Lift her head so that she can breathe.

Don't worry.
This has happened due to stress.

She'll be fine.

She will look a bit confused for a while,
but that's normal.

Next time she has a fit,
don't bring her socks.

And please don't cover her mouth.
She needs to be able to breathe.

Does anyone have her medical history?
Any records?

Haven't you ever taken her to a doctor?
She must have had fits before.

Prabhat, there is a social stigma
attached to this.

If people found out,

she would have had
trouble getting married.

Marriage is not just a one-day event.

Gobind would've found out
eventually, right?

Prabhat, hear me out.

Let her rest.
Sir, you should rest too.

-You must be tired.
-Hey.

-Get some tea for them.
-Yes.

Come.

What a crazy doctor!

Prabhat,

I'm trying to help your reputation here,
and you're arguing with Babu Saheb.

I don't want to improve my reputation.

How will that help?

You'll win the Ideal PHC Award.

You're working so hard. Just a bit more.
What's wrong with that?

If I wanted to win like that,
I'd gift saris like you.

You know, Prabhat,

you're still stuck
in your first year of college.

Your world doesn't go beyond that.

You know very well
people have to compromise

and make sacrifices for their work,

but you choose to ignore that happily.

Because in your world,

you see yourself as a good man.

But the truth is,
a good man is of no use to this village.

What they need is good treatment.

They need medicines regularly.

And a doctor who will do
whatever it takes to get them treated.

So you're saying

a doctor who doesn't compromise

shouldn't be able to get medicine
for his patients?

What--

Tea.

Thank you, Aishwarya.

-You know my name?
-Thank you.

I follow you.

-Really?
-How do you get so many views

on your reels?

With collaboration.

You two are friends, right?
Make videos with him.

You'll get some of his followers.
He'll get some of yours.

-Good idea.
-Your idea is good.

I'll set up a camera for my next surgery.

Vandana is conscious.

Here. Have some water.

Are you feeling better?

Hi, Vandana.

I am Dr. Prabhat.

How do you feel now?

Alright.

Any pain or injuries?

-No.
-Good.

Something good came of it.
You got acquainted.

When you come to Bhatkandi
after the wedding,

Dr. Prabhat will be your doctor.

But will he still marry me?

I don't think...

Vandana...

It will work out. Don't cry.

Gobind is asking for MO sir.

Yes.

Come with me.

Dr. Prabhat and Gobind seem very close.

He'll do whatever...

the doctor says.

Will he commit the sin of breaking
a daughter's wedding?

Hey, does a city guy

understand the concepts of sin and virtue?

Guys like that are a real headache.
I've got one back in my village.

I don't think Prabhat would do that.

Okay.

Go with him.

If he messes up, fix it.

Yes, sir.

Can I ask you something, sir?

Can this disease

be passed on to the child

from the parents?

Yes, that's possible.

Children inherit a lot of things
from their parents.

Good and bad, both.

This isn't a huge deal.
Many people suffer from epilepsy.

You both can live a normal life
despite it.

I think if you like her, you shouldn't
break off the marriage for this reason.

But if you have any doubts,

it is your life.

The decision is yours.

I will stand with you no matter what.

Come with me, sir.

You kidnapped me this morning.

When will the wedding start?

See that, Binod.

This shotgun wedding has suddenly
turned into a love marriage.

[Women sing wedding folk song]

The mosquito net isn't closed all the way.
Let me fix it.

I should have told you.

About my epilepsy.

Sorry.

I didn't tell you.

I am hard of hearing in one of my ears.

I didn't tell you either.

Sorry, I didn't check the fuel tank
in a hurry.

It's okay.

Actually, I'll keep it with me.

I'll return it in the morning
after filling up the tank.

Thank you.

One second.

-Yes, Phutani ji?
-My man!

Has the fun begun?
Are you enjoying it?

It has been ten minutes.

You've added Gobind, too.
What are you up to?

Sir, it is his first time.
Ten minutes is more than enough.

-What nonsense? Why have you called?
-No, sir.

Nothing's wrong.
Yes, Phutani bhaiya. Continue.

Sir, we'll get the results
for Ideal PHC tomorrow.

Sir, tell me. Where will we celebrate?

Sir, I think we should cook up a lamb
at the PHC tomorrow.

Sir, will you drink with us?

Are you drunk right now, Phutani ji?

No, sir. I have been too upset to drink
since my wife left me.

I can tell from your voice
that you're drunk.

I swear on my wife, I'm not drinking.

Sir, I know it.
We'll definitely win Ideal PHC.

You just wait and watch.

Yes, sir. We'll definitely win.

Okay, bhaiya. I'll hang up now.
Vandana seems upset.

-Okay?
-Yes.

I have to go too.

Okay, enjoy.

-Okay, sir. Goodbye.
-Goodbye. See you tomorrow. Bye.

Sorry...

Sorry.

They're special to me.

I mean,

not as special as you,
so I hung up.

Are you really hard of hearing in one ear?

Only when the kidnapped groom

consummates the marriage
is the wedding considered complete.

I will tell them that we did.

Who will know?

I don't lie.

Let me fix this again.
