Who are you?
[suspenseful music playing]
Please reveal your true self.
[flute playing]
I am no one special.
I am an ordinary housewife
who is carrying out her obligations diligently.
Unlike you,
I am not someone who has forgotten her parent's sacrifices
and hurt them,
and run away from her obligations only to perform penance.
How can one bear the fruits of penance if he does not look after
the very people who brought him into the world?
If one does not tend to his parents
and be there for them when they grow old,
how can that person ever reap the fruit of penance?
[sad music playing]
You are right.
I made a grave mistake.
I have gravely pained both my mother and father.
[sentimental music playing]
So many years have passed.
I wonder where they must be
and in what condition.
[sad music playing]
When a son renounces his home,
his parents forever wait for his return.
Even if the wait is until the end of time.
A mother's soul is bound to her son's.
May I be honest with you?
Unless you do not meet them,
even the Lord of Death, Yamaraja, will not come for them.
Please forgive me.
[conch blowing]
[gripping music playing]
[sad music playing]
'What is taking the girls so long to come for the feast?'
[sad music playing]
'If they do not come, then my 'puja' shall not conclude.'
'As also my desire to get my son back.'
Are you waiting for the girls?
I do not think any of the girls will come.
[tense music playing]
I suggest that you worship the Goddess and eat.
Until when will you starve and keep me starving?
[dramatic music playing]
My dear.
Do not worry.
Whatever ensues shall be the Goddess' will.
No.
This cannot happen.
This cannot happen, my lord.
My 'puja' cannot fail.
It will not.
[tense music playing]
Please have faith.
The 'puja' has not concluded yet.
I cannot be patient any longer.
The Goddess must alleviate me of my troubles.
'Have mercy on her, Goddess.'
'Her heart is pure and devotion towards You is genuine.'
'Have mercy, Goddess. Rid her of her suffering.'
[dramatic music playing]
Please have mercy, Goddess.
I cannot take it anymore.
Our only son
has been away from us for so many years.
Will our suffering never end?
[sad music playing]
It would be better
if You grant me death!
[sad music playing]
Alternatively,
bless me with the joy of holding my son in my embrace.
[sad music playing]
'O, Lord and Goddess.'
'A mother's heart pains.'
'I am not capable of helping her. Please help her.'
'Goddesses, this mother's compassionate plea has me in tears.'
'Please have mercy and come here.'
[enchanting music playing]
[pious music playing]
[conch blowing]
[joyous music playing]
'Salutations to Goddess Siddhidhatri.'
My lady.
The girls have arrived!
[pious music playing]
Goddess has answered our prayers.
The girls have arrived!
[pious song playing]
[conch blowing]
'Salutations to Goddess Siddhidhatri.'
'I had threatened all the girls.'
'How come they came?'
'I need to find out.'
[pious music playing]
[devotional song playing]
'Thank You, Goddess. I am grateful to You.'
[devotional song playing]
[devotional song continues]
You were the one who forbade us.
That is why nobody sent their daughters to the priests home
out of fear of the occult.
[tense music playing]
'Nobody sent their girls!'
'Then who are those girls at the house?'
'Where have they come from?'
'I need to find out.'
[gripping music playing]
Pardon me.
'This is him.'
'My brother's son and my nephew!'
'I think he is going home.'
'No, I cannot let that happen.'
'I have to stop him.'
Oh!
Ah!
'What is happening to me?'
'Why can't I move?'
[dramatic music playing]
All of you are the Goddess incarnate.
If the 'puja' was lacking in any aspect,
please forgive me.
We are all very appeased with your 'puja' and reverence.
Your wish will surely be fulfilled.
[pleasant music playing]
'All the Goddesses have given their blessings.'
'She is truly fortunate.'
[pleasant music playing]
We should have the offerings now.
[pious music playing]
We have performed the 'puja'
and consumed the offerings.
We even waited and stayed patient.
But we did not get
what we wanted.
You placed your faith in the Goddess
and She gave you Her blessing.
There is nothing that the Goddess cannot do.
Please heed me.
Consume the Goddess's offering,
a symbol of the Goddess's grace, with utmost devotion.
Your wish will surely be fulfilled.
'Mother! Father!'
'That sounded like my son.'
Mother!
- Mother! - Son!
[pious music playing]
Son!
Father!
Son!
[sentimental music playing]
Mother!
Son!
Where had you gone?
How could you have the courage to leave us?
So many years passed.
Did you not once think that you should return home?
Did you not wonder whether your mother was alive or dead?
Mother!
I made a grave mistake.
Please forgive me.
Forgive me.
[sobbing]
'You are a terrible mother!'
'- I have never seen a mother worse than you! - Quiet!'
Doing something late is better than not doing it at all, son.
Forgive me, Father!
[sentimental music playing]
You... You have grown up!
[sentimental music playing]
What happened
was all in the past.
You have returned. Everything will fall into place now.
Mother, will you not feed me the offering?
Disrespecting the holy offering
is akin to disrespecting God.
[sentimental music playing]
You have become so wise.
I certainly will. Come with me.
Please.
Goddess.
You honoured this family's devotion and our faith.
I am grateful to You.
[pleasant music playing]
[enchanting music playing]
Vishnu. Lakshmi.
Your powers are no different than mine.
Still, by worshipping Me,
You have displayed extraordinary humility.
Garud, now you know,
it is My energy that drives the entire universe.
After having witnessed this,
you will now be able to serve
as your Lord Vishnu's mount.
[pious music playing]
'Goddess, Your blessing has convinced me'
'I can fulfil my mother's dream'
'of serving Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.'
[devotional song playing]
'As also become Lord Vishnu's mount as is my destiny.'
'Thank You, Goddess.'
[devotional song playing]
You have my blessing.
[devotional song playing]
I had implicit faith that you would return.
And it were our guests who raised the hope within us.
Guests!
Who are they and where are they?
They are lovely people.
Come, let me introduce you to them.
- Sure. - Let's go.
Come here, my son.
There they are.
[joyful music playing]
'Who are you?'
'Please reveal your true self.'
They are the people
who advised me to return home to you.
Had they not opened my eyes,
I would not have realised my mistake.
[sentimental music playing]
How is that possible, son?
They have been with us since morning...
[disconcerting music playing]
Where did they go?
Where are they?
[suspenseful music playing]
Mother, look. Footprints.
[music playing]
'These guests of yours'
'are misguiding her on the pretext of'
'listening to the Goddess's tale.'
'What did you say?'
[high-pitched shrill]
Where did this feather come from?
How did it get here?
Whose is it?
Lord Narayan's
and Goddess Lakshmi's.
Oh, no.
Lord Narayan's
and Goddess Lakshmi's.
[devotional song playing]
'How is this possible?'
