Keshav?
So should we wait just for that?
I'm the elder one here. I'm telling you. Serve us.
Begin.
Saylee.
Eat your food.
Yes.
Eat.
The ritual will go on for three days.
The first day is for peace and oblation.
The second day is for the obsequial rites.
And the third day is for water offering.
One thing is of utmost importance.
Everyone must stay together.
Dinu Sir must be sent back to his ancestors.
Dinu sir must
attain liberation.
And what about our liberation?
Has someone tied you down in this house?
This house will be sold
and that will bring liberation.
I've heard the property fetches a good price around here.
What I'm saying
do we truly need to sell this house?
Do you like the house?
You already put down your roots?
Sister-in-law, this is our house.
Precisely why it must be sold.
Otherwise, we'll be left with nothing but dust.
Selling it is the only wise decision.
And Keshav,
you'll benefit the most.
Truly fortunate, you are.
This house will not be sold.
And I won't sign either.
Whoever wants to do anything, they can go ahead.
Oh, come on.
Keshav, hey. Keshav. - Hey!
Karthik! Hey!
No matter what anyone says, this house will be sold.
Everyone's nonsense has begun again.
Finalise things once for all.
Oh, dear!
At least don't take it out on the food. Eat something.
There are two lives.
Eat. Eat.
Keshav!
Who are you to make this decision?
Answer me!
Say whatever you like, but this house will be sold.
Every time I come here, it always ends up like this.
Let's go.
What happened?
Why are you wandering around alone like a ghost?
Someone's crying, clearly.
Listen. Can you hear it?
There are so many people in the house. It must be Saylee.
That sounds like a child crying.
Yes.
It might be Dinu sir.
No, it's definitely a child.
Dinu sir was once a child too, wasn't he?
Dinu.
Uncle Dinu.
He still hasn't found peace.
That's exactly why this ritual is being held.
Did that scare you?
Why would I be scared?
What have I done?
And you...
Did you need something?
Why were you roaming around at this hour?
Well...
Water.
I was thirsty, so came for water.
I had kept water in your room.
Over.
It's finished.
Oh.
Then the kitchen is that way. Why were you here?
Well, I...
I've come after a long time, so I...
I got a bit confused. It just slipped my mind.
Confusion in your own house.
Naina, Naina, no. The kitchen is that way.
- I don't feel thirsty anymore. - You were never really thirsty.
Then how can you say you're not thirsty now?
(chant)
Hmm.
Join your hands.
Dinu sir,
your loved ones,
your family members have performed all the rites.
Accept their service with grace
set yourself free, and in doing so, release them too.
[chanting]
There it starts.
Sister-in-law, I'll take care of her.
Hmm.
Saylee, come on, let's step outside.
The smoke bothers you, doesn't it?
Careful.
Come on.
Step out. Sit here. I'll fetch you some water.
[chanting]
Hey, dear.
Oh, why are you doing this?
Let me do it. You're a guest, after all.
This is my home too.
I should help, shouldn't I?
All right then, go ahead.
In the end, a house needs people, doesn't it?
Hush!
Don't come out...
Quickly finish that ritual now.
You can't rush such matters.
There's still quite a bit left.
What's the hurry?
Oh dear, you...
Why did you make the tea?
Hey...
And this dark tea for whom?
Dark tea? It's black tea, plain tea.
I drink the same as well.
Is that so?
It goes by different names, but it's still tea.
Here.
Black tea.
Here, have some.
Go on.
Are we going to sell the house by just gossiping?
And Keshav,
Uncle Dinu had only one thing, and that was this house.
So don't you want to sell it?
Then?
What else did his father even have?
Oh...
His mother had some jewellery, didn't she?
Dinu sir used to wear that and perform a female role.
Karthik.
What's your problem?
My dad wore a saree.
I apologise, Keshav.
Why?
Why are you apologising?
It was his father who was stubborn.
He insisted on staying here.
Because of him, we got stuck too, Madhu.
Mind your words, will you?
Or what? - Keshav.
Keshav! Keshav! Karthik.
I'm the elder one, so let me speak.
Just because you're older, should we listen to you?
What do you mean? Of course you have to listen.
After dad passed, this house became my responsibility, right?
Responsibility?
First, take responsibility for your own household.
That's our personal matter. Not for discussion here.
Sit. Sit on each other's laps.
And then all the skeletons in this house...
Naina!
Once these rituals are done
let's find a decent buyer and sell this house.
Okay?
I want to send my Saylee to America for her studies.
I need to think about my child's future too.
That's fair enough.
You all may think only of yourselves.
Who's there for me?
I'll have to take care of myself.
Naina, why are you saying such things?
We're all here for you.
Yes, but it's better if everyone has their own share.
The house will not be sold.
It will.
And we'll decide how it's going to be sold.
Better be prepared, or we know what to do.
Or what? Go on, tell me.
What? Or what? - Stay back and speak properly.
Let me see you sell the house. - So will I.
Enough! Enough! Enough!
This argument is going to continue, and you all know it.
You'll each go your separate ways.
But what about them?
Such a huge house...
Doesn't it need people to live in it?
Where will the ancestors go?
Saylee?
Saylee? Hey, Saylee?
What's wrong, love?
What happened?
What are you doing here?
There's someone over there.
It must be some animal. A dog or a cat.
There are a lot of monkeys around too.
It was a boy.
You must have imagined it.
Why are you wandering around the house like this?
Gone, throw her stuff out.
All right, leave it be.
I'll clean the room tomorrow.
It will make you all sick. Step outside. Come on.
Let's go. Let's go.
I'll see to it tomorrow. - It needs proper cleaning.
I'll clean it tomorrow. Come on, step out.
Yes.
Come on.
Gona Grandpa.
Do you live here alone?
Or is there someone else?
Say something.
Look here, Saylee dear...
I told you, no one else lives here.
You're already unwell, and there's so much dust. Come on.
Come on.
Come along, Naina.
Uncle Dinu, in this well...
He didn't jump in it and die.
Everyone taunted him mercilessly.
He was disgraced.
He was gossiped about throughout the village and at home.
He performed in a female role.
Just because he played a female role
doesn't mean he is that way.
What society says, is considered true.
Did Dinu sir ever go around questioning anyone?
He just got entangled to her art.
Where are the ornaments? - Ask Mr. Dinu.
He can see his father here.
You?
