Swades: An appreciative Gîtâ looks on pensively but from a respectable distance as Mohan takes leave of the family to run her distant errand (vipralambhâ). Now that her hero has (half-) confessed his love and she feels sorry at having punished him severely for the same, it takes some needling to make her realize that, the vestiges of her vanity notwithstanding, her eyes have already betrayed her for good.
