Short filmTranscript
00:00A young man named Raj lived with his mother in a village called Jampur.
00:12They used to make a living by doing agriculture in the field for a while.
00:18Hey, how many days will you wander like a horn of a single stone?
00:22It's time for you to get married.
00:24At least tell me if you like someone.
00:27I will marry you with that girl.
00:29To like it or not to like it, there is nothing like that.
00:32Now I have to go to the farm.
00:34I have piled up work today.
00:36I also asked the labourers to come quickly.
00:38They would have come by now.
00:40Well, I am not talking about today.
00:43You must get married for the next moment.
00:45I have no more patience to do all these things for you.
00:48Well, mom, I am going now.
00:50We will talk about this later.
00:53Raj goes to the farm to take care of a heaping work.
00:56In the meantime, Raj's aunt comes there.
00:59Kalavati, you came early.
01:01Is all the work done at home?
01:03Of course, my daughter-in-law is at home.
01:06She takes care of all the work.
01:08She does not allow me to do anything at home.
01:12You are lucky, Kalavati.
01:14Your son is younger than my son, but you still got him married.
01:17Now look at the work at home.
01:19I don't have a daughter-in-law also.
01:22No, you can marry your son after seeing a good girl.
01:26There is a relation which I know in Billaspur.
01:29The girl is very good.
01:31She is also very beautiful.
01:33Why don't you ask Raj to go and see her once?
01:36In Billaspur?
01:37Isn't it too far?
01:39Kalavati, why do we have to go so far?
01:41Because we want a beautiful and humble girl for your son.
01:45Why don't you ask Raj to go and see the girl?
01:48I am sure Raj will like her.
01:51Yes, yes, you are right.
01:53Raj comes home that evening after finishing the farm work.
01:57Son, the farm work will get completed within 2 or 3 days.
02:01Just go to Billaspur for my sake.
02:03What mom?
02:04You want me to go that far?
02:06What work is there?
02:07Nothing.
02:08There is a girl you have to see.
02:10She is very beautiful.
02:12Educated also.
02:14You will not settle until I get married.
02:16Well, as you said, after 4 days I will go there and come back.
02:20Your uncle lives in Devapur on the same road where you are going.
02:24Why don't you meet him also?
02:25Yes, yes, you always say that my uncle is staying in Devapur.
02:29But I have not seen him to date.
02:31Well, it is just on the way.
02:33I will go and see him once.
02:34Yes, he had come here when you were young.
02:37He has not come ever since then.
02:39Very well educated.
02:41Tell him to come home when you meet him.
02:44After 4 days, are you leaving for Billaspur?
02:47Leave on time.
02:49Otherwise, muhurat will go away.
02:51The girl's father's name is Ramchandra.
02:53He is very famous in Billaspur.
02:55Well, if I am leaving now, I will reach there by tomorrow morning.
03:00I am going this far, but if I don't like the girl, I will refuse.
03:03Okay?
03:04Will do.
03:04Why do you always say these ominous words?
03:07Please go.
03:09So, Raj leaves for Billaspur.
03:11After travelling some distance.
03:16I have travelled a long way.
03:18Here I will rest somewhere and eat the food I have brought with me.
03:22Thinking, Raj eats the food he has brought with him.
03:25He drinks the fresh water he has brought with him and continues his journey.
03:29Meanwhile,
03:31Oho!
03:32It gets so tiring to carry water from such a distance.
03:35I wish we had a well nearby.
03:37At least we would have found good water there.
03:40How good it would be to have that well.
03:42I don't like buying this water from that Tulsiram.
03:46However, I never dreamt that one day I will have to buy water and drink it.
03:50What do we do?
03:52Half the day goes into bringing water.
03:54And half of the day we have to work.
03:56Even if our men go 10 miles away from the village,
03:59only then they can find work.
04:01Yes, yes.
04:02There is nowhere to farm for 10 miles around here.
04:05We cannot even grow crops because they depend on total rain.
04:09We don't even know whether it is going to rain or it won't.
04:13What is the point of living like this?
04:15But these are our daily problems.
04:17What's new today?
04:19Meanwhile, Raj had travelled some distance.
04:22Wow!
04:23The sun is nice today.
04:25The water that I had brought has also run out.
04:28Somebody is coming with water.
04:30I will ask her to give me some water.
04:32So Raj went to these two girls.
04:35Hey, I am very thirsty.
04:38The water I had brought is also over.
04:40Can you please pour some water into this bowl?
04:43I will drink it to quench my thirst.
04:44Oh my God!
04:45You are asking what you should not ask in this village.
04:48This water cannot be given to you.
04:50We are buying this from far away.
04:52Each pot costs us about 2 rupees.
04:54Why should we give it to you?
04:56What are you saying?
04:58Buying water?
05:00Does anyone sell water?
05:01Which you buy?
05:02Why will they not sell?
05:04I think this is the first time you have come to our village.
05:08You can't even find a drop of water 10 miles around here.
05:12If you are thirsty, there is Tulsi Ram shop 5 miles from here.
05:15You can find anything you want there.
05:17But you will have to pay more than what you normally pay.
05:21That Tulsi Ram is very cunning man.
05:24Really?
05:25Is there a great man who sells water here?
05:27How does he get that water which you do not get?
05:30Does he have any mantra education or what?
05:32The best water well in the whole village is in Tulsi Ram's house.
05:36There is not a single good water well anywhere else.
05:39Even after digging so much, no drop of water fell anywhere.
05:43Knowing that trying any more is a waste of effort, we all went to that Tulsi Ram's house
05:47and bought good water with money.
05:50Okay.
05:51I would go to that Tulsi Ram's house and buy water.
05:54But to get there, I would have to walk at least 5 miles.
05:57I need energy for that.
05:59So I need to drink some water.
06:01If you don't want to pour in this bowl, pour some in my hands.
06:04I will quench my thirst with it.
06:07So Raj catches the water in the hands and drinks the water they pour and continues his
06:12journey to that Tulsi Ram's shop.
06:15After travelling a mile like that.
06:19Today the sun is so hot that it makes me very thirsty.
06:23There is no one to give water here.
06:25While doing so, a man comes with holding pots.
06:29He saw Raj.
06:31What sir?
06:32You are coming from a long distance.
06:34Do you need any water?
06:36If you ask if we need water in this village, you are like God.
06:41Please give me this bowl full of water.
06:43Oh oh!
06:44Don't praise me so much.
06:46Why do you think I will just give you water?
06:49I am bringing this pot of water for 2 rupees.
06:52But you have to pay me 4 rupees to fill the water in your bowl.
06:55Tell me if you like it.
06:57Do you want to fill the bowl with water or do you want me to go?
07:00Decide quickly.
07:01I am ready to pay those 4 rupees.
07:03Here, fill this bowl full of water.
07:07That person fills the bowl full of water.
07:10What?
07:11You poured a little bit water in the pot.
07:13You are carrying enough water but you have given me little water for 4 rupees.
07:17Tell me if this is fair to you.
07:19This is my job sir.
07:20In this way I quench the thirst of these waferers and collect money from them.
07:25But I told you earlier, it takes 4 rupees to fill the bowl.
07:29You are right.
07:30Here are the 4 rupees.
07:32What?
07:33I never dreamed that I would even buy water and drink it.
07:36If it wasn't Hiragad, what will we do?
07:38Well, I am very hungry.
07:39Are there any orphanages near about here?
07:42Could you guide me to some orphanages nearby?
07:45It is difficult to find good water here.
07:47God!
07:48It is also the house of children.
07:49You still have to walk at least 10 miles if you want an orphanage house.
07:53So, no one knows here if there will be a meal.
07:57If there is no orphanage home, at least self-catering is available.
08:02I will cook and eat.
08:03Ah!
08:04Why can't you find that?
08:054 miles from here, there is Tulsi Ram's shop.
08:08There you will get salt, pulses and rice along with good water.
08:13You can pay money to buy it.
08:14Go slowly.
08:15Okay?
08:16There is nothing else Raj can do.
08:19So he is leaving for Tulsi Ram's shop.
08:22He hears someone moaning and suffering on the way.
08:26Water!
08:27Water!
08:28It sounds like someone is suffering from thirst.
08:32When he went a little further, he saw an old man moaning under the tree.
08:38Thirsty!
08:39Thirsty!
08:40Thirsty!
08:41Oh!
08:42You are very depressed.
08:43Behold!
08:44Drink this water.
08:45Drizzle a little.
08:46I will pour water.
08:49Raj gives that old man some water and quenches his thirst.
08:53A person passing by noticed it and came there.
08:56What are you doing?
08:58I think you are new to this village.
09:00He was forbidden to pour good water.
09:02Don't you know that?
09:03Be careful.
09:04If you give water to this person, Tulsi Ram will get angry.
09:07Why does your king get angry if you pour water on this person?
09:10Look, how he is suffering from thirst.
09:13This old man has betrayed the village.
09:16If you give water to this old man, you will have to suffer the punishment.
09:20Be careful.
09:21What is the reason for this old man to be in such a predicament?
09:24Can you tell me a little bit?
09:26Actually, this old man has cheated all the people in this village.
09:33The ground is barren all around.
09:35If you are fetching fresh water from a long distance for thirst,
09:39if you do as I have said, this village will be freed from water wars.
09:44Really?
09:45That Tulsi Ram says that water does not fall anywhere in this village.
09:48Moreover, we have also dug in many places.
09:51But no water came here.
09:53But how do you know that water falls here?
09:55I am a field man, a hydrologist.
09:58I know where the water comes.
10:00Listen to me and dig where I told you.
10:03Water will surely fall.
10:05Trust me and go ahead.
10:08Knowing this, Tulsi Ram reaches there.
10:12What do you talk about?
10:14We have dug surrounding area.
10:16But no water came anywhere.
10:18Now if you will come and gossip, there will be no one here to listen.
10:21What I am saying is true, sir.
10:23You take my word for it.
10:25Dig where I said, water will fall surely.
10:28Okay, okay.
10:29We will dig where you said.
10:31If there is no water, you will be punished accordingly.
10:34Tell me if you agree with that, okay?
10:36I agree, Tulsi Ram.
10:38I can tell exactly where the water falls.
10:40Take my word for it.
10:42Well, if water falls where you said, I will give you a hundred rupees.
10:46Otherwise, no one will give you at least water in this area.
10:50Okay, let's go there.
10:52Show me where the water falls, okay?
10:54Tulsi Ram goes alone with that old man instead of the people in the village.
11:02Thus, the old man says that water will fall in an area.
11:06But Tulsi Ram orders them to dig somewhere other than the place told by that old man.
11:16Which one you said water will fall?
11:19There is no water falling here.
11:21All their hard work has been wasted.
11:23You will be punished accordingly.
11:25I didn't say about this place.
11:27Water did not fall because you dug somewhere else.
11:30Apart from this place what I told you.
11:33And the place I told you is hundred feet away from here.
11:36No matter what that old man says,
11:39Tulsi Ram misleads the people of village without listening to him.
11:43From today if anyone gives food and water to this old man,
11:46he or she will not get a single item from my shop.
11:49My men will be watching you.
11:52That person will tell Raj everything that happened.
11:56This old man is being punished for his betrayal of the village.
12:00In the meantime, two people came there with empty pots.
12:03They found out what was going on there.
12:06Half hour ago Suri died in Tulsi Ram's sea well.
12:09They came to know about it when we went for water.
12:12The only well in the village is closed now.
12:15What to do now?
12:16Hey, what are you doing near this old man?
12:19One day you will know how foolish you were.
12:22This old man is not an ordinary man.
12:24He is a field expert.
12:26A hydrologist is the god who will support your village.
12:30Tulsi Ram comes there angrily knowing that Raj had poured water for old man.
12:35This old man was forbidden by the village.
12:38Knowing that, what is your purpose in giving him water?
12:41You will have to pay a heavy price for it.
12:43Do you know?
12:44I know.
12:45I will dig where this old man tells me.
12:48If water falls there, you don't have to give me even a peppercorn.
12:52But if there will be no water, I will give you a thousand rupees.
12:56Do you agree with that?
12:57I dug earlier and did not fall.
12:59Now again, it does not need to take a new test.
13:02We don't want your thousand rupees.
13:04But first you go from here.
13:06Do you know about this old man's past?
13:08Did you see?
13:09This king wants to cheat you all.
13:12Tell me if my condition is acceptable to you.
13:14I am doing all this for the betterment of this village.
13:17Trust me.
13:18So everyone in the village agrees to find a place where the water falls and dig the well.
13:24Then Raj says,
13:25Sir, now tell me.
13:27Where does the water fall in this area?
13:29I will dig there.
13:30Why somewhere?
13:32Now dig where I am.
13:34Water is sure to come as soon as you dig 20 feet.
13:37Okay?
13:38Go ahead.
13:39They started digging there just as the old man said.
13:42There the water falls before digging 20 feet.
13:45All the people in the village are very happy to see that.
13:48A well is constructed there.
13:50Did you see?
13:51Tulsiram has cheated you for his business.
13:54He is doing such a vile business that he is selling water to hide your innocence.
13:59I want to file a complaint against him to the king.
14:02Or tell him what kind of punishment is best for him.
14:05Go ahead.
14:06Tell me.
14:07Why is there any punishment?
14:08The old man who gave water to our village and who is like a god.
14:11He faced so much trouble.
14:13The same punishment we will give to Tulsiram.
14:15We will give the same punishment to him as well.
14:18Since that day no one gave Tulsiram water or food.
14:22And the people of that village made him suffer in the same way as the old man suffered.
14:27Later, Raj reached Billaspur, sees the girl, says that he likes her and gets married and lives happily ever after.
