This adaptation poignantly captures Tagore’s warning that love, when fueled by unresolved grief, can easily devolve into a destructive and irrational obsession. It serves as a sobering reminder that the tightest grip often crushes the very thing it seeks to hold.

Stories By Rabindranath Tagore | Ep.16 | Waaris | A Grandfather's Love Turns Into Obsession
Added:[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] So the king said [Music] Should I show the prince something for his birthday?
Yes.
Sure?
Sure.
[music] [music] Hey hey what are you doing? Hey hey, I have taken care of it for so many years.
Hey son, what have you done? The dhoti was so many years old.
What will you wear? What will you wear?
[Music] [Music] [Music] Ho Om [Music] [Sound of singing] Ho [Music] [Sound of singing] I am prescribing the medicines.
Get these delivered from Kolkata as soon as possible.
[music] [music] How much is it?
Doctor Babu was saying that it would probably cost ₹120.
Baba Baba, if I leave now, I will probably be able to return with the medicine by tomorrow afternoon.
Your doctor will write it down. Your wife's health will improve after taking this medicine. Is there any guarantee?
Is there any guarantee?
[Music] [Music] If everything gets better after taking expensive medicine.
[Music] So kings and emperors never die. A house of four people has to be run on a mud-baked basis. Have you ever thought? If you want to spend your father's money, then 10 types of expenses come to mind.
Wow Baba.
Even in such times you need money. There is no need to dramatize too much. Just as your grandmother died, just as your mother died, your wife too will have to die.
Aa ho [song sound] [music] Om [song sound] [music] Papa where are we going? [music] [music] What are you doing? I am going.
Why?
What happened to me will not happen to my son.
And anyway, in such a situation, it would be in the interest of both of us to leave from here.
You will be happy if you live alone and it will be better for Gokul also if he stays away from you.
[Music] We [Music] [Music] We're going okay.
Kunduda, can I say something?
Vrindavan did a very wrong thing. Does anyone leave such a father? [MUSIC] Well, you haven't stopped him yet.
Why should I stop?
No, you did well. Didn't stop.
By the way, what will you do by stopping your worthless son?
Where has he seen the world yet? Yes. That's absolutely correct.
All the boys these days are like this. Meaning, if the wife goes away, another wife can also come.
But where will you get another father from?
If we had to stumble, we would have stumbled ourselves. There was no problem. But it was not right to take your grandson along.
What was the fault of that poor girl? Grandfather and grandson were separated.
Not anymore today.
[Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Hey, do n't do that, son. hold on hold on. Look quietly.
Look, look, look, look, eat this, eat this, I don't want to eat it, I don't want to eat it [Music] [ Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] Kundu, hello, hello, I went to the market, got this cheaply, Ruima, I brought it, keep it, okay, what, what, Kunduda, what I was saying was that right now you are alone, Vrindavan is also not there, so in such a situation, if you need anything, tell me, don't hesitate, yes, okay, okay, you keep this match for now, Rui, I do n't need anything, it is fresh, tell me, I will tell you [Music] [Music] [Music] Dada will get angry.
Come quickly, I will feed you with my own hands.
Yes. We both will eat together.
Listen Dada, Dada loves me a lot. Do n't listen to Baba. Don't listen to Baba.

Not there.
Why? I have come running.
My father was sending me to school. I don't want to go to school. I do not study.
Will work.
Yeah why is it so dark during the day [music]?
You live here alone. You won't tell my father that if I come here, I will run away. No no, you wo n't tell me for sure, right? Don't worry about anything.
Now I am tired.
Now go [music] [music] listen to a story [laughter].
What are you doing? let me sleep.
Get a story. Hey, please go.
You take rest.
Yes, I take rest. Go.
[Music] Come on, does anyone even eat this food?
Hey, you should also eat this food.
Son, what happened? Look, do you want anything else? I will bring whatever you ask for. Yes, don't be angry.
[music] [music] I put two teaspoons of sugar and four almonds in it.
Drink.
Good!
I was thinking something.
What were you thinking?
I would leave from here. Are? Would you have gone? Why? Why son? Why would I go? No son, you should not say such things.
I don't feel good here.
Why don't you feel good? Everything is here [laughs] son. Look, there is food, drinks and toys here. Everything is there.
I don't like this.
Hey son, don't talk about leaving. See what you want? [laughter] Yeah, I have a lot of money. I will buy you a lot of things.
I have a lot of toys. Yes? Tell me what you want? I will bring whatever you ask for. Yes? But tell me son, talk about leaving. Yes?
Tell me what you want? Will you bring me whatever I ask for? Yes, yes.
Absolutely sure. I will bring everything.
[MUSIC] Yeah, the shell is good, isn't it?
Hey, this is nothing. Whatever I have, all my [music] all my wealth, all my property, all of it is yours.
Everything, everything, yes I give it all to you. You take care of all my property.

Who said?
[Music] Kunduda, his father has come to Maheshanga in search of him.
Nowadays I will come till here. Yes.
And he will know that you have hidden it in your house.
You may go to jail, Kunduda. I am telling you. There is still time. You leave it.
Otherwise it will become very difficult later.
[gasping] Hey, wait.
Hey, what is he doing?
I am going.
Where?
Anywhere. If he is here then Baba will find me. Oh, I ca n't find it. Hey, everyone knows I'm here. If Baba finds me, he will kill me first.
Then they will send me to school. I don't want to go to school. Me or else hide. I will hide you in such a place. Where not only your Baba but even Baba's Baba will not be able to find you.
Good?
But when will you hide it When the right time comes, hide the cake Nitai This was it Get up get up come on oh [screaming voice] oh oh Piya Piya [Music] [Music] Om [Music] [Music] Dadu, should I hide here [Music] [Music] Om Om [Music] [Music] Dadu, these coins are of gold, all the wealth, money, money, everything is mine Even if 10 villages are put together, no one has as much wealth as Yagyanath Kundu.
People are jealous of me. They think I am greedy. I am selfish and greedy.
My family members also left me. Let go.
I have created this wealth by forgetting all my joys and sorrows and saving every penny for 30 years.
Netai, all the property is yours now.
Sit down.
