BEEP
Addu!
Stand still son!
Mom, will you get me new clothes for Diwali this year?
yes, we'll see
Oh, your dad has arrived
Addu!
[Children murmuring]
Mom, you look so beautiful without a veil
You naughty one..!
Come straight home after School, don't wander around
Come fast!
[mocking his dad] Come straight home after School, don't wander around
[Rattling noises]
Leave the house early in the morning,
sweat it out,
and get nothing in return, not even a penny
Now what happened to this?
Nothing works without money
The festival is around the corner
I had taken a loan from Ashok (brother)
It’s time to repay his installments too.
and Addu's School fees as well.
God only knows how this is going to happen.
I was thinking...
If I also find some job,
it will be some help to our house.
Isn’t all this good enough for you?
I have told you so many times;
A home shines bright when a Woman is taking care of it.
I am there to take care of the outside work.
Ram ji defeated Ravana and won the truth by ending Evil
and when he came back to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile,
all the Ayodhya residents welcomed Lord Ram
with great joy and enthusiasm by lighting lamps in their homes.
Excellent!
[Everyone clapping]
It was the best!
Thank you!
So children, this festival is one of the most popular festivals of India.
Also known as the festival of lights.
Did you buy clothes for Diwali? [Addu nods in denial]
I am going to buy them today
wow excellent
So homework related to this will be given to you.
The Kandils which we light outside the houses in Diwali,
You have to make them yourself this year.
Understood?
[instant chattering]
Silence!
This project is of 20 marks
Whoever does not make this project,
20 marks will be deducted in Hindi subject.
[Bell rings]
Listen all,
I should get everyone's Kandils by this Saturday.
Hey, do you know how to make Kandils?
Are you crazy?
See you in the evening at our usual place.
then I'll let you know.
Ok bye, I'm leaving.
make sure you meet me in the evening.
Yes Yes Yes!
[lighting up the sacred lamp]
Aye! Shoo!
See,
I have brought these old clothes from Mahajan’s sir house.
Sort it out,
will be useful for Diwali festival.
I was thinking...
Of getting new clothes for Addu this Diwali.
But these are new as well.
These rich people wear them for just a day or two & ditch the clothes.
Everything is nice in here and will fulfill our requirements.
[Unwrapping]
Is this from Mr. Mahajan’s house?
Yes, come sit
Addu, will you wear this kurta on Diwali?
This shirt looks good too, try it on.
Mom!
You will fall any moment now
[falls] [everyone laughs]
Oh, a new shirt. For Diwali?
Sunil, when are you going to your native place?
I’ve seen this shirt somewhere before..
Oh really? Where?
Does anyone here know how to make a Kandil?
You will get everything at the Palande’s shop.
some colourful papers,
wood log,
bundle of threads...
buy them and make one
How much will it cost?
250rs 300rs (3 Dollor) Who knows?
We don’t have to give money anyways,
Dad will take care of it.
[kids laughing]
Oh yes!
Bunty Mahajan has the same shirt too
Who Bunty Mahajan?
That Mr. Mahajan’s Son!
The one who looks fair & chocolatey like a girl.
[yeahh] [everyone laughs]
[Scratching with pencil] how should I tell her...
[Whispering to himself] how should I tell her... (x2)
Addu, grab it from the bottom..
Pick it up..
Carefully!
How is Addu suddenly helping me today?
[biting nails in confusion]
[Picks up an arrow]
[talks in sanskrit language narrating a sacred story]
Give me alms... (x2)
Then, Sita Maiya gives alms to that ascetic
from inside of the Lakshman rekha.
Seeing this, the ascetic says
If you want to give me alms...
then you must come outside the Lakshman rekha,
or else this ascetic
will have to leave your door without receiving any alms.
Sita Maiya couldn’t let him go empty handed.
So, that is why she came out of the Lakshman rekha
Ravan grabbed her hand the moment she came out
and came in his true form.
[Evil laugh]
I am not an ascetic.
I’m Raavan, the King of the Lanka.
[Evil laugh]
Raavan...
If you would’ve come with your head bowed down,
you might have had a chance to go but you didn’t do that.
but you didn’t do that.
You sinner! You broke the bounds of Lord Ram.
You will be punished for all your sins.
[Bowing with respect]
[Pointing arrow to end the Evil]
And, it all ended as it should.
Good triumphs over evil.
Raavan was killed by Ram.
Mom, Why doesn't Mother Sita wear a veil?
You always wear it.
My little one you have really grown quite smart!
Ok now get up, your Dad will be here anytime soon...
Let me prepare dinner.
Mom!
Our school teacher has given a assignment,
we will get 20 marks on this project.
What assignment?
We have to prepare the Kandil used in Diwali festival on our own.
But it will require
250rs (3 Dollor) to make that.
"Mother doesn't answer and walks away from there."
[Gargling]
Listen,
Addu has secured good marks in his examination this year.
Okay
And now, he is preparing for his upcoming exams.
And he will surely get good grades in this one too.
And...
he has an assignment from his School..
he will come out on top in this assignment as well.
He only requires 250rs (3 Dollor)
250rs! (3 Dollor)?
Yes.. he got work from School to make his own Kandil
and it will cost 250rs (3 Dollor) to make.
School authorities have kept me in a state of distress
Are you drunk as well?
Don’t you know our condition?
I have somehow paid his School fees
and now this nonsense
Listen, Addu.
You won’t get marks by doing these useless things.
You will get marks by studying, got it?
Ridiculous!
[You won’t get marks by doing these useless things]
[You will get marks by studying, got it?]
[bathing with water]
[I have somehow paid his School fees and now this nonsense]
Addu! here..
Addu....
Hello (Namaste) Aunty!
See this! Amazing right?
Show yours!
Addu.. at least drink milk!
Let’s go we’re getting late
[Children noises]
Aye silence! take your seat everyone.
Put your Kandils on your desk.
I will come to your bench & see.
Very nice!
Hm! You made this? Very nice.
I’m coming, wait.
Pretty.
Where is your Kandil?
You’re gone now! Teacher will beat you.
What happened advaid?
May I go to toilet?
Go.
[Where is your Kandil?]
[You’re gone now! Teacher will beat you.]
[This project is of 20 marks]
[Whoever does not make this project]
[20 marks will be deducted in Hindi subject.]
[You won’t get marks by doing these useless things.]
[You will get marks by studying, got it?]
[Voices Echoing]
[Bell rings]
Eat, my dear.
Addu!
I will make Halwa (sweet Dish) for you tomorrow.
You love it right?
Addu! Eat a little more at least!
You didn’t bring it today as well?
I will tell the teacher today that I don’t have it.
Your marks will be cut!
[Good afternoon, teacher]
Good afternoon, sit down.
[Thank you, teacher]
Those who didn’t show their Kandil yesterday can show me today.
Pratiksha
I have brought it ma’am
Good. Sit down.
Kapil
Ma’am kapil didn’t come today.
Okay
Advait
[children rushing]
Teacher!
This is Advait’s Kandil (breathing heavily)
and this one is Kapil’s Kandil (breathing heavily)
Okay, but how did you get Advait’s Kandil?
"He forgot it at home, so we brought it from his place."
Okay come in.
But why is it covered with a cloth?
Bring it here.
Addu!
Where are you taking me?
Remove your veil now!
Mom, you are looking like Sita Maiya today
Oh really? [laughs lovingly]
