The film you're about to see has born under a lucky star.
I've lived here maybe 23 years.
But I feel afraid to call it home.
There's always the feeling I'll have to leave.
I fought with my dad.
So I packed my bag and left for Mumbai.
My brother had a job at the dockyard.
His place smelled so bad,
the first night I couldn't sleep.
I was pregnant, but I didn't tell anyone.
Because I'd recently found a job at a house.
I had to take care of a lady's kids, but they were pests.
But the lady... she fed me well.
That year I ate like a queen.
Every family in the village has at least one person in Mumbai.
In Mumbai, there is work and money!
Why would anyone want to move back?
I'd just had my heart broken.
But the city helps you forget these things.
I didn't realise how much time had passed.
The city takes time away from you.
That's life.
You better get used to impermanence.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Nurse Prabha tells me you've been making trouble.
What's the matter?
Tell Doctor why you hid your medication under your pillow?
I will not take it.
Why?
What happened?
She told me the pills are giving her bad dreams.
I'll give you a prescription for that.
OK?
Please, Doctor.
I don't want to stay here.
Please let me go home.
- What is it? - He comes here.
After dinner,
when I'm watching TV.
Who comes?
Jairam, my husband.
He came yesterday as well.
I was watching TV.
Mr. Bachchan was on.
His voice always makes me feel good.
He talks so smoothly.
And then suddenly, out of nowhere,
there was that dirty smell of tobacco.
Then I looked up,
and he was sitting there on that stool.
No.
Not sitting.
He had no legs!
He was only a torso!
Can we please pick a film already?
If it's just another action film, I'm not coming.
You're a wuss who only likes romances.
And the new release?
The one with Shane Nigam!
He's so dreamy.
Nurse Prabha,
want to come with us?
Yeah, Nurse Prabha, you pick the film!
No, you girls go ahead.
Why? Come with us, please!
I told you, she never comes.
I explained your situation to Dr. Supriya.
Her friend agreed to take up your case.
He's a big-shot lawyer.
He'll do it for free.
I don't need any help.
Why are you being so stubborn?
Last night the builders sent a goon over
to threaten me!
He said: "Buzz off before Ganpati festival or else."
It's too dangerous.
Parvaty, stay with me for a few days.
Why should I?
Why should I leave my place?
I told him:
"Threaten me all you want, I won't leave my place!
"Over my dead body!"
I told them like that.
Let's speak to the lawyer.
It can't go on like this.
And the younger one?
How old is he?
1 year old.
So you have 3 children?
Yes.
How old are you?
24.
No! 25.
Yes. 25, definitely.
Nurse?
The girls told me there's a prize?
A prize for... you know?
Vasectomy?
If your husband agrees,
the government will give you a bucket and 1,000 rupees.
I told my husband, but...
He says it makes them lose their strength!
Take this every day.
If you want another kid just stop it for a month.
Oh, no way!
How much for this?
When did you last get your period?
Hey... what u doing?
Boss is driving me mad.
IMA bored...
Wanna C U...
You'll have to wait
until tonight to see me.
But for now...
I'm sending you kisses through the clouds.
So when it rains,
my kisses will touch your lips.
But oil won't make my hair grow back any faster!
I like it short.
It's the new style.
Next month I can't come home. I can't get leave.
Alright, Mama. I'm going in for surgery.
Of course surgeries happen at night!
As if a patient's heart will wait!
Dr. Supriya is calling, Mama! I have to go. Bye.
Prabha?
I'm leaving.
Will you be long?
Go ahead. I'll see you at home.
Open your mouth.
More.
Are you hiding them under your tongue?
Good.
Nurse Prabha?
Working late again?
Sorry, Doctor. I lost track of time.
It's OK.
Hindi is so frustrating.
The word kal means both yesterday and tomorrow!
Don't make excuses, how will you improve without hard work?
I wanted to ask a patient
to come back tomorrow in Hindi
but when the time came, I couldn't say it.
You have to say it like this: kal wapas ana.
Again?
You make it sound so simple.
Good evening, Nurse Prabha.
OK then, I'm going.
Nurse?
I have something to show you.
Don't look. Open it when you get home.
It's a poem.
A poem?
There's a poetry competition in our monthly journal.
I thought I'd give it a shot.
I didn't know you were a poet.
Nothing like that. It's just a hobby.
Alright. See you tomorrow.
Who's this?
How did you get out?
You're all wet!
Lost your umbrella again?
It was so windy,
it broke.
You left so early. What happened?
Nothing happened.
One of my cousins is visiting Mumbai.
So I just went shopping with her.
A cousin?
Just a cousin.
Sweetie!
Your tummy has become so big.
How many babies are you hiding inside?
She was loitering outside Kulkarni's flat.
What was she doing there?
What were you doing, sweetie?
I've asked Dr. Manoj to have a look at her.
We shouldn't bother him with such things.
He won't mind.
He's a nice guy.
Isn't he?
Prabha?
Can you cover my rent this month?
The same situation again?
I promise I'll pay you back.
You need to watch your spending, Anu.
My salary is never enough.
That's why.
OK, but it's the last time.
Don't ask again.
Sorry.
What are you doing, Anu? Move aside.
This parcel arrived for you.
Thank you.
What is it?
Is it from your mum?
I don't know.
Prabha, it's for you!
Who's it from?
It doesn't say.
Let's open and see.
Awesome!
We had a rice cooker at home,
but nothing like this!
This one looks so international!
Whatever we make will taste super.
But who could've sent it?
Doesn't say.
It's written in English letters.
But it's some other language.
Made in...
Germany.
Doesn't your husband live there?
My dreams are made of everyday things,
small and scattered, that I've left behind.
My hope
is just another casket of things
I carry with me wherever I go.
And now,
you are there in a neighbour's house
like a burning lamp
whose glow I watch
to keep me warm at night.
C U at the same time.
Don't wait 2 close to hospital.
Someone might see you.
See you soon
Have you noticed
any changes in your new roommate?
All the nurses are talking about her.
She's in love with a boy.
That can't be.
She's not like that.
You know, he's Muslim.
Everyone here knows.
I don't have a problem with it.
But she's your roommate,
you better keep an eye on her.
I just thought you should know.
What is this?
Sims' vaginal speculum.
Good.
What about...
this?
Artery forceps.
Artery forceps, correct.
Nurse Anu will show you
placenta from today morning's delivery.
And I'll demonstrate our placenta disposal procedure.
Pass it on.
Still bothered by the smell?
You're all nurses,
you have to be stronger.
Listen...
I've been dying to tell you what happened today.
You know Crystal, right?
The new nurse.
She was giving an old man a sponge bath...
when suddenly,
she let out a scream!
Why?
She looked down and...
his 'thing' was standing all the way up!
She'd never seen one standing before!
She ran out of the room.
And then?
Then Prabha came in and scolded him,
he got so scared...
I don't think
it'll ever stand up again!
Boss sent me to pick up his watch.
Mr. Aslam?
Two minutes.
Don't they look great on me?
Anu?
Have you seen many?
Many what?
What Nurse Crystal saw at the hospital today.
What's up with you? Are you jealous?
No, I'm just asking.
Why are you acting like a virgin?
Mister?
Your watch.
Your watch is ready.
The balance is 5,000 rupees.
Shobhna said if we pay off the guard, he won't bother us.
Are you sure?
Don't be such a wuss.
Let's go see.
There's nobody here.
When did he last phone you?
It's been over a year.
Maybe longer...
Nurse?
When people go abroad,
they can lose their minds,
or their memory.
That's how it is.
What will you do now?
I'll tell you what, call him.
- Me, call him? - Yeah.
If I meet that husband of yours,
I swear,
I'm gonna box his ears.
It's a real shame.
It says here the builder is suing you for trespassing.
They could begin demolition any day now.
Are other tenants in the same situation?
The ones with papers have been given new flats.
When the cotton mills shut down,
my husband was allowed to stay on.
Then you must have papers!
He never told me about any papers.
Now that he's dead, I can't ask him, can I?
Isn't there another solution?
Look Parvati,
the problem is you don't really have a case.
Because there is no proof that you have lived there.
But can't you just ask my neighbours?
I've lived there 22 years,
what do I need papers for?
That won't hold up in court.
There, we need papers.
Can't you find any document with your name on it?
That bastard!
I will kick his ass!
I'll show him.
Who does he think he is?
How dare those builders cut off my electricity!
It's so damn dark!
These are just old medical reports.
How is your son doing?
It's been a long time.
You had gotten him chocolates too.
Those, he gobbled up.
You used to be so terrified of the Head Nurse.
That terror, Nurse Lissy.
Don't remind me.
Why not move in with your son?
No, no.
He already lives in a tiny room with his wife and kid.
I don't want anyone breathing down my neck.
We're the same, you and I.
We're better off alone.
Evening is my favourite time of day.
In my village, this was the time
to stop playing football and go home.
But here,
it feels like the day has just begun.
I wanted to be an airhostess.
I secretly signed up for the exam.
But I got scared of Dad and didn't go.
At least this way, I got to meet you.
Who knows, we could have met on a flight.
You seem different somehow.
How so?
I sense some change.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
Okay.
Who are you avoiding?
Mother.
Why not answer?
I know exactly why she's calling.
This guy looks like an aubergine.
What about him?
"I have a 50-acre cardamom plantation in Munnar.
"Two houseboats in Alappuzha.
"I go pigeon hunting in my free time."
"I'm the right-hand man of the Sheikh in Dubai.
"All I ask for is 1,001 gold coins
"and one Mercedes Benz."
"That's not possible.
"But we can offer 50 gold coins and one Swift car."
"Marry your daughter for so cheap? Never!"
Anu,
if I used a Hindu name for a fake matrimony profile,
would your father send it to you?
Even if he did, I'd turn it down.
You sure are hard to please.
I keep thinking he'll come back.
And he'll say that he wants to live with me,
and be with me.
Hold its legs.
Ready?
One...
two...
three...
Four heartbeats, wow!
She doesn't bite.
Don't be afraid.
- Go ahead and pet her. - No!
- Touch her, your fear will vanish. - No.
People who are afraid of cats
were mice in a past life.
- Just touch her. - No, no.
If we're done, let's go.
Should I take her home?
What was that back there?
What did I do?
Why were you flirting with Dr. Manoj?
You can't do that.
If you behave like a slut,
people won't respect you.
You know what people are saying about you?
Let it go.
I have something that will cheer you up.
Nothing can cheer me up.
Fine.
Then I won't tell you.
Tell me!
- Please tell me, Shiaz. - Never mind.
Come on!
OK, I'll tell you.
Do you have a burqa?
Why would I have a burqa?
Without a burqa, there's no plan.
What plan?
Aunty and Uncle are going to a wedding tomorrow.
Goodness! No need to scrunch up your face.
So nobody will be home?
You know my neighbourhood, right?
If anybody sees you like this,
we're screwed.
Anu?
Aren't you hungry?
I've prepared your favourite fish curry.
It's chilli fish curry.
I'm not hungry.
Anu, I'm...
sorry.
I didn't mean what I said.
I don't know why I spoke to you like that.
Prabha?
Did you know him from before?
Who?
Your husband.
No. Not at all.
One day, Father asked me to come back home.
When I got there, they'd already fixed my marriage.
Didn't you try to find out more about him?
I did. I tried to meet him.
It must have been romantic.
Not at all!
He had just a few days of leave.
When we tried to talk, there were always relatives around.
How could you marry a total stranger?
I don't think I could.
You might think you know someone,
but they can also become strangers.
Soon after the wedding, he left for Germany.
In the early days,
he used to call.
But gradually, the conversations grew less frequent.
I don't know what happened.
Maybe...
there was nothing left to say.
I think of him
in this faraway country.
I think of him working alone in this large factory.
It all seems...
so far away.
Nurse?
There's something I have to tell you.
I'm moving back to my village.
What?
There's nothing more I can do, is there?
What are you saying?
We can do more.
I'm fed up.
I spoke to a guy in the village.
- He'll find me a job. - Where?
In a hostel.
As a cook.
At least in the village I have my own home.
But how will you manage?
I'll figure it out.
You see that tower there?
It's the same builders.
They think that by building their towers taller and taller,
one day they can replace God.
On my way. Are you home?
Crazy rain here...
I feel like a spy in a movie.
Have you left yet?
Don't come now...
The wedding is cancelled.
Harbour Line is flooded. Don't b mad :(
Sorry baby.
Attention all passengers,
due to water logging,
all trains are delayed.
Stand by for further updates.
Hello?
Hello, Mama?
How are you feeling?
No, nothing's wrong.
I'm just calling.
Yes, I've eaten.
We built their buildings!
We cleaned their gutters, cooked their food,
and did all the work they refused to do themselves.
But when we ask for a home near theirs, they can't stand it.
We have to unite,
and make them understand
that ours are the hands that built this city!
- Workers' unity! - Long live!
All these years I walked past this place,
but I've never eaten here.
Today I've done it.
I'm going to miss this place.
But it's like this place isn't real.
What do you mean?
You only seem to be real if you have papers.
You could just vanish into thin air,
and no one would even know.
We would know, Parvaty.
All of us at the hospital, we'll miss you.
You're a very good lady, Nurse.
I'm gonna do it!
Run, run!
Nurse Prabha!
When did your shift end?
I didn't see you around.
Nurse, I'm off.
Nurse, I made some sweets for you.
Here.
Don't have them now!
I won't be able to face you if they're awful.
My contract here is ending soon,
and I'm thinking of not renewing it.
You'll be leaving us then?
So what's your plan now?
Can we go somewhere to talk?
Mumbai is nice...
But I never got used to it.
And I have a problem with the language too.
Hindi isn't hard to learn.
Maybe.
But it's not just that.
I've been here for so many months now,
but yesterday I forgot to get off at my stop.
I went all the way to the end of the line...
by mistake.
Prabha?
I'm...
Before I go I wanted to...
tell you...
I wanted to know...
if I should stay?
I mean...
If there was a reason for me to stay here...
But Doctor, I'm married.
I know...
But still...
May I go, Doctor?
I'll miss my train.
Some people call this the city of dreams,
but I don't.
I think it's the city of illusions.
There's an unspoken code in this city:
even if you live in the gutter, you're allowed to feel no anger.
People call this, "The Spirit of Mumbai."
You have to believe the illusion,
or else you'll go mad.
Parvaty, there's no electricity here?
She made us carry her junk all this way.
Is she planning on doing operations here?
Parvaty?
Is this still good?
Perfectly good!
Prabha, have a sip.
Close your eyes and gulp it down.
It will make you feel relaxed!
Trust me.
Just try it and see.
How is it?
Your turn!
Drink!
Where on earth have I landed myself!
Stuck in this weird place, how did I get here?
Should I cry or should I laugh?
Will someone save me?
How much for the mackerel?
50 rupees.
Is it dried?
No, these are fresh!
Of course they're fresh!
Give me a good price.
- How much? - 100 rupees.
What?
Who are you trying to fool?
Just look at the size of these fish!
Prabha?
Could you ever move back to your village?
I don't think I could.
I didn't think you'd come today, Anu.
It was a big help to Parvaty.
I didn't mind.
I like her.
Prabha?
I have something to tell you.
My parents are sending me photos of guys for marriage proposals.
But I don't want to get married now.
Have you tried talking to them?
As if they would listen!
So what will you do?
I don't know.
Maybe run away.
It's no use, Anu.
You can't escape your fate.
I'm very tired.
I want to rest.
Are you sure?
Aren't you coming with us?
No, Prabha. I want to rest.
Let her be. She did carry those heavy bags.
Not everyone can hold their liquor.
Prabha!
Come in!
I should get back now.
Will you be long?
Not long.
Save some for later.
Parvaty?
How long will you be gone?
I only need to tell them
I'm here for the job.
I'll be back by 5 o'clock.
Then I think we should leave now.
What nonsense!
- You have a ticket for tomorrow. - Yes, but...
You came all this way, of course you should stay!
How did you find this place?
It's like she's been stuck here forever.
As if she's waiting for something to happen.
She looks like you!
I like this place.
Seems like another world.
Shiaz?
Do you ever think about the future?
What do you mean?
I mean...
In 10 or 15 years...
what will your life be like?
Am I there with you?
What's come over you?
I don't know.
I never used to think about stuff like this.
But I feel like
the future is here and I'm not prepared for it.
Why don't my parents understand what I want?
Maybe we can talk to them?
We can try to convince them, maybe they'll agree.
If I tell them, they'll never let me see you again.
Shiaz,
I feel so scared.
I've been scared ever since I met you.
I'd ask myself if it was right, my being with you.
Or if it would've been best for us to stay apart.
But when I'm with you,
I don't know what it is...
I don't feel afraid at all.
As if this is the most natural way for us to be.
It all gets too heavy for me sometimes.
Shiaz?
There's graffiti here in Malayalam.
OUR LOVE IS LIKE THE ENDLESS SEA
You wrote it, didn't you?
Somebody help!
He's not breathing.
Looks like it's too late.
Pump his stomach!
Flip him over.
Make him sit up.
Step back please!
Move aside! Move aside!
Step back please!
He's dead, no?
He's not one of ours.
He's a goner.
He needs to go to the hospital.
There's no hospital here.
But there's a village doctor.
OK, quickly.
She saved his life.
He was totally dead.
Miss?
He should see a familiar face when he wakes up.
Come inside.
Some tea?
Don't be shy.
Doctor will be here soon.
Go inside.
Sorry.
I was only cleaning your wound.
It hurts.
It hurts now, but you'll be alright.
What happened to me?
Don't worry.
Just rest.
I feel like I've been resting for a long time.
How long has it been?
A few hours, maybe.
I don't remember anything.
It's windy.
He'll catch a cold. Cover him nicely, dear.
What does he do?
There's some kind of misunderstanding.
Where does your husband work?
He works in Germany.
Then you must not see each other often.
Pity your holiday got ruined.
Lucky that you were there for him today.
What did she say?
Nothing.
She thought you were my husband.
Am I?
No.
Why is there sand on me?
They found you in the sea.
In the sea?
What was I doing there?
You don't remember?
You've changed so much in all these years.
Have I?
Some days I was stuck in the factory for so long,
I didn't know if it was day or night.
I would come out after 3 or 4 days
as if in a daze.
I was blinded by the light.
In the darkness, you try to imagine light.
But you cannot.
I thought about you.
What did you think about?
Sitting next to you like this.
I wanted to reach out and touch you,
Why haven't you told me this before?
Prabha,
come with me.
It will be different this time.
I promise.
Stop.
I don't want to see you...
ever again.
Are you closing up?
No. You can sit as long as you like.
Sand...
Where is that boy?
Who?
The boy who was with you.
Prabha,
I'm...
sorry.
It's alright.
Just call him.
Who's that?
Anu's boyfriend.
He followed her all this way?
This is Shiaz.
Where are you from?
Vithura.
Sit down.
I was there once.
It's very beautiful there.
It's very beautiful here too.
