Postcard is a 2013 Indian Marathi film written and directed by Gajendra Ahire.
One day the old man decides to retire from his job and go live peacefully with his children.
The old man decides he will repay the loan by working it off, and then leave with a clean account.
The old man realizes that the loan is usurious; he will not be able to pay it off by working.
The postman's wife reads this letter and decides to send the old man her savings, seven hundred rupees.
The man introduces himself; the postman recognizes his name immediately as the recipient of the woman's letters.
The matron searches the old registers and uncovers that the girl had graduated and left the school many years ago.
Many years ago, he traveled home to see his daughter at her school.
At first she laughs but she gradually realizes, to her shock and grief, that the story is true.
She realizes her father has died, today, because the postman brought her the news.
The postman recognizes the mask immediately; it was made by the old man of the saw mill as a present for his grandchild.
The postman contemplates buying the mask but decides not to meddle with forces that may be beyond him.
That night she wishes it to bring her money so she can buy her freedom and join her lover.
In a few days the postman brings her a large sum of money and a letter from her lover's firm.
Her lover was caught in the machinery and was mangled to death; this is insurance money which he had willed to her.
The soldier appears on the bus, smiling and giving sweets to the postman's daughter.
