'About whom should
I tell you first?'
'About myself?'
'About Gagan and Sheila?'
'Or about the person because
of whom this story exists?'
'Let's begin with the city.'
'My name is Shubhendu Roy. Age 42.'
'I turned bald when
I was 19 years old.'
'Since then people
guess my age wrong.'
'Maybe that's why I didn't
have any girlfriend in college.'
You are writing as if
you have 50 girlfriends.
Why don't you clearly say
that you never had a girlfriend?
Look, I didn't ask for
your opinion. Got it?
I am not giving you
my opinion, Mr. Roy.
I am showing you the mirror.
As such, you say you
only write the truth.
When it's time to write your
biography, you forgot all about truth.
Look, don't speak. Got it?
Words like truth don't suit you.
Don't insult this artist.
When did I say
I am the idol of truth?
Yes.
- I am an actor. It's my job to lie.
You should feel ashamed.
You call yourself an artist.
Yourself? You understand
the meaning of art, Gagan?
Art is the reflection of reality.
And the reflection is a lie.
Gagan, in the morning when you
see your face in the mirror..
..is the reflection false?
Exactly.
It's false because you are a liar.
The mirror shows you your truth,
Gagan. Your truth.
You are a liar.
You have opened my eyes,
saint Surdas.
Why don't you return to Jabalpur?
Go there and teach children.
About truth.
Look, you won't comment on
my coming here from Jabalpur.
I am telling you the truth. This
city is not for people like you.
You simpleton.
"Hail Lord Ganesh."
"Glory to Lord."
'He is my room
partner Gagandeep Singh.'
'At times I feel
like smashing his face.'
'But Gandhi had said you
should never encourage violence.'
Today you are going to die.
Be ready. Got it?
Beat harder.
Dialogue.
Sister. Come, sister.
Scoundrel, if you eye her,
I will break your legs. - I won't.
Sister, if he tries to
rape you again, tell me.
Yes. Face here. Here.
I am there.
Cut!
Sorry. You are not hurt, are you?
- No. I am fine.
Sir, how was the shot?
- First class. Amazing.
It is a million dollar shot.
- It's God's grace.
Do one thing. Relax.
I will get the next shot ready.
Okay. Sonu, come here.
Bring the umbrella. - Yes.
Aman. Aman.
- Yes.
Autograph please. Today
was my first day of shooting.
I had great fun.
Give me light.
Thank you. I am your great fan.
It's God's grace. Umbrella.
Sir.
- Come. Come. Come.
Sir, I tell you..
I think we will have
to do another take.
Bittu's mood is not good.
Bittu?
- Bittu. Aman. Aman Singh.
Actually,
Bittu doesn't like his role.
But what is this?
Once you commit then your
likes and dislikes mean nothing.
See me for example.
Bittu told me, "Gagan, there is
a small role. Do it."
"You are a nice actor.
The film needs you."
I agreed. I also don't like
the role. But I am not cribbing.
By the way, you act well.
What's your name?
- Sheila.
Gagan. Pleased to meet you.
Lunch break. Only for 15 minutes.
Will you have lunch with me?
Shall I tell Bittu I am not
coming with him in the van?
He is not a small man.
He has written all big movies.
He is really big.
- Which ones?
'Gaddar', the love story.
'Lagaan', the penalty.
'Dil Chahta Hai', the heart wants.
'Kal Ho Na Ho',
tomorrow never comes.
And 'Sholay'.
But 'Sholay' was made 30 years ago.
Yes. But it was his idea.
He is very clever since childhood.
What's his name?
- Shubhendu.
Hey. Come. Come. I am waiting
for you since a long time.
Where are you? Come.
Come here. Give me a hug.
Sit here. Sit here.
Gagan.
- Sheila, this is the Shubhendu Roy.
Shubhendu, this is Sheila.
The hottest newcomer in town.
Hi. - Hi. -Do you know?
She has all the big banner films.
Chopras, Johars and
both the Kapoors..
..all want her dates.
Why did you call me here?
I was working.
Would you like to
place some order please?
No, I had dinner. Thank you.
I also ate.
Some desserts?
I have been told not to eat sweets.
Have some.
- No. - Have some.
No. I don't eat sweets.
I get a paunch. Abs.
I don't have any problem.
So I will have banana split sundae.
With double ice-cream.
Double chocolate chips.
And some walnuts and
honey on side please.
That will be all.
- Thank you.
By the way,
sir, I am also an actor.
Part-time waiter. Full-time actor.
Sir, if you have a role, let me know.
- Like that..
You will get many roles. Tell me.
Will we get any discount?
Sir, I am an actor.
The owner isn't.
Get the order. Please.
- Thank you.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
Your capacity is good.
Well, dessert is my weakness,
you know.
Both of you sit. I will just come.
Where are you going?
- Sit. Talk.
Sir.
- Yes.
I am a big fan of yours.
You know about my work?
I haven't.. - Don't be modest, sir.
I watch many movies.
And you know, which
are my favorite films?
Which ones?
'Gaddar', the love story.
'Lagaan', the penalty.
'Kal Ho Na Ho',
tomorrow never comes.
'Dil Chahta Hai', the heart wants.
And sir, 'Sholay'.
Okay. All are nice films.
These are my favorites too.
Sir, I feel all these
films are brilliant.
And you are also brilliant.
Me?
Thank you.
"My body smoldered."
"Yes. My body smoldered."
"I don't know when I drifted off
in your dreams, in your arms."
"My body smoldered."
"My body smoldered."
Come on.
He is clinging to her.
"All the time there
is a new fervor."
"On that my beauty."
"This season of intoxication."
"On that your love."
"My heartbeats are
singing your songs, beloved."
"There is merriment."
"My feet falter."
"My body.."
- Sir, call for you. - Where?
In the bathroom.
Excuse me. My call. Please.
Sure. I will change and come.
- Thank you.
I don't know what he is doing.
My brave foolish friend,
you have come. Very good.
Why did you call me here?
I don't have money to pay the bill.
In such a situation, I will
call my friend and not my enemy.
If you don't have money,
why did you bring her..
..to such an expensive restaurant?
Try to understand.
Sheila loves this restaurant.
Have you gone crazy?
Have you seen the menu?
The dessert that she
ordered itself costs Rs.3500.
The bill won't be more
than Rs1700. Got it?
And listen, don't give more
than Rs.200 as tip. Got it?
Rs.1700. I don't have
so much money. I don't.
You got the money
order from home last month.
Not from home.
From the publishing house.
I had done translation for them.
It's the same thing.
They are also like family.
You have fun. You incur
expenses and I pay money.
You can spend
Rs.20000 on the computer.
You can pay Rs.5000 for internet.
Can't you treat your
friend with dinner?
Don't talk about
computer and internet.
I am a writer. It's my work.
I need the computer.
So I am a man. I need a woman.
Shut up.
You fool. Did you hear her song?
You want such a woman?
My body is smoldering.
That's why I say
stay away from her.
Let me handle her.
Did you understand?
Look, I don't have money
for your frivolous expenses.
That's it. It's over. It's over.
Try to understand.
I am doing it for you. For you.
She is a star.
She will meet producers. - Yes.
And tell them about you.
You will get work.
It's investment.
"What did you drink?"
"What did you drink?"
"You tell me."
Who is a writer?
- Sir, it's him.
Let me give you one advice.
Stars can never make you.
But they can break you.
Writer makes actors.
Actors don't make writers.
That is why I hate actors.
But I love writers.
This is my card. Call me anytime.
"What did you drink?"
Did you recognize him?
Nayan Sidhwani.
Whatever. He is sloshed.
He has 24 serials running on TV.
And he is making 3 movies.
He called you.
Do you know what that means?
- Yes?
Break. Big break.
Yeah?
- Congratulations.
Thanks.
- You are lucky. Let's celebrate.
Sure. Why not?
Come on. Pay the bill.
Come on. Pay the bill.
That's it. Driver, stop here.
Sorry, I can't drop you home.
You see, I have an early
morning shoot tomorrow.
You don't mind, do you?
- No, not at all.
As it is, it's not that late.
Driver, drop ma'am home safely.
Shubhendu, give him Rs.500.
Fine. I will see you tomorrow.
- Actually..
Show me your license.
- Why?
What do you mean?
It's my right. Show me.
The role that Mr. Nayan
gave me, it got over today.
Oh! Fine. No problem.
I will do one thing.
I will talk to Nayan.
For the next film.
- Is this your photo? - Yes, sir.
I have the main role. We will
try to cast you opposite me. Okay?
You know Mr. Nayan?
Of course. We started
our career together.
Shubhendu, Nayan and me.
You know, Nayan wouldn't even
have money to buy underwear.
He would borrow money from me.
Such close friends.
Wow! Really?
- Yes. Nayan is too sweet.
He can't live without us.
Didn't you see?
He was in the bathroom with us.
Yes. Yes. Yes. I saw all of
you leaving from the bathroom.
True. - He clings to us anywhere.
This is also your right?
- Doesn't see where we are.
Sorry.
So tomorrow I will
surely talk about you.
And come home sometime.
Sure. Where do you live?
Here. Right here. Up.
The top two floors.
The ones not lighted.
Wow! How nice!
Yes. But we will shift
to a shanty later. - Why?
For experience. You see,
Shubhendu is writing a big movie.
A multi-starrer. Having a
budget of 40-50-60 crores.
But it's all about poor people.
And I am the poorest. The hero.
That's very nice.
Shall we go?
- Yes. Right. See you, Shells.
Bye.
- Bye.
Bye, Mr. Shubhendu.
Gagan, stop it.
Don't you ever feel guilty?
Doesn't your conscience prick you?
Why?
You are going on lying to her.
Yes. My conscience pricks me.
But only when my lie is caught.
Gagan, I am not joking.
You are misguiding
that innocent girl.
Hang on. Hang on.
Seeing her innocent dance..
..you think she is innocent?
Shut up. Okay? Just shut up.
I am not so bad. What did I do?
I treated her with dinner.
And send her home in a cab.
And I paid for both.
Yes. So not she,
but you got misguided.
You are sleeping like a log.
Wake up, people.
There is a thief here. A thief.
- Gagan, what are you doing?
Have you gone crazy?
What are you doing?
Run. Or else you will be beaten.
Gagan, what's going on?
Run! Run!
- I am running.
So baldy, had fun?
I am having fun since evening.
You are feeling good?
"Innocent girl, open.."
- Shut up.
"The love in your heart."
- Shut up.
You like Sheila?
I don't look at girls from
that viewpoint. - Is that so? Why?
Because there are many
more things to do in my life.
Is that so? Like what?
For instance, art,
literature, culture.
Oh, God! Art, literature, culture.
It's a lot. You must not get
any time to do anything else.
Money is immaterial
for you. You don't flirt.
You will spend your whole
life in the service of art.
Yes. You can think so.
Are you happy?
Mr. Shubhendu Roy, you
are a bigger liar than me.
I lie to people.
You lie to yourself.
Don't you want to have a nice car?
And we shift to a nice flat.
I don't have to borrow
money from you all the time.
You give me money and say,
"Go, my friend. Have fun."
But it's not justified to
lie for all this, Gagan.
Ends don't justify the means.
Tell me something, Mr.
Shubhendu Roy.
Has any girl told you, Shubhendu,
I love you?
No.
No one.
Okay. Listen. Come here.
Sit here. Sit.
Look, Shubhendu.
You must have wished
that a girl would say..
..Shubhendu, I love you.
If you can't say yes, just nod.
Yes. So Shubhendu, do you know..
..why no girl has ever
told you I love you?
Because Shubhendu, you are a
very honest and sincere man.
Actually it means very boring.
What will you gain
by being so honest?
Nobody is interested
in honest people.
Is your lecture over?
Note down my point.
The whole world reads
'Ramayan' (Holy Book).
And Ram is the hero of 'Ramayan'.
Remove Ravan.
Then see who reads it.
Had Ravan won in the end,
nobody would have read it.
Truth's triumph over lie.
Good's victory over evil.
This is the truth of the world.
It will be better if
you don't forget this.
It will be very good
if you forget this.
Stop it. Stop it.
Why are you folding hands?
I will fold hands.
2. 2 . 3 . 4.
Are you depressed?
Find a friend.
Hello, Mohit.
Hello, Mohit.
Rakesh.
Is someone there?
Hotty101.
Hello. This is Kanak.
I am from Delhi. Who is this?
I..
- Hello.
Damn! Damn!
Gagan, I am leaving.
Where are you going?
To meet Nayan Sidhwani.
I have an appointment for today.
Wait. I will also come.
I will also come.
Gagan, where are you going?
With you. To meet Nayan Sidhwani.
What will you do?
Try to understand.
Hot shots need a manager.
Manager meaning a big impression.
Big impression meaning big fees.
Don't do that, Gagan. Gagan, don't.
Hi.
Hello.
Hi, baby. Gags here.
- Hi, Gags.
Baby, I am thinking of
taking you to lunch to Tiffany's.
But I have to go with Mr.
Shubhendu.
Mr. Shubhendu, the great writer.
Baby, not great, greatest.
I have to finalize an important
business deal for Mr. Shubhendu.
With Nayan Sidhwani.
Nayan Sidhwani, the
greatest producer, right?
You are absolutely right, babes.
Okay. Fine. Sorry for now.
I will take you to
Tiffany's next time. Fine?
Okay. Listen to me, Gags.
Where is Tiffany's?
In New York. Where else?
Okay, babes.
-I've to go now. Okay? I love you.
How will you take her to New York?
- On foot.
Why are you so foolish?
No one takes anybody.
It's all impression.
No matter how your condition is,
your impression should be good.
Okay. Don't give me a lecture.
Got it? - Sorry.
Listen, you have change for Rs.500?
No. Not for Rs.500. Rs.300.
- Check. Check.
I have Rs.330.
Give me Rs.300.
Keep the change.
Just see. Seeing the
impression of Rs.500..
..I got Rs.300.
Cab.
- Gagan, we will go there in a cab?
If you go for work in a bus, you
will never make a good impression.
Who will pay the cab's fare?
- You gave it just now.
Cab.
- Give my money back.
Come.
Sit there.
How are you, Gagan?
- Yes. Fine.
My money. When will I get it?
- Come after 15 days.
Yes? - Ma'am, I want to
meet Mr. Nayan Sidhwani.
For what?
He gave this card
and said come anytime.
What work do you have?
Look, ma'am. Mr. Shubhendu Roy
is a famous and busy writer.
Mr. Sidhwani wants him
to write a story for him.
Okay. Where is your writer?
Look, he is sitting there.
Okay. Do one thing.
You also sit there.
Mr. Sidhwani is busy.
I will call you once
he is free. Okay?
What's the use of a cab?
Had we come in a bus,
we would have..
..never been able to meet him.
She would have
directly said get out.
She didn't see whether
we came by bus or cab.
They watch everything.
They have put up
cameras in the building.
You are right. Hello.
Mr. Full-time actor, part-time
waiter, what are you doing here?
Acting? - No, sir. I did acting.
I am waiting for my cheque
What do you mean?
My cheque is for Rs.2500. They
make me make so many rounds.
Ma'am, when will my turn come?
You are in queue. Please wait.
I don't get to hear this
line even in government offices.
Will you keep quiet? Or
else I will call security.
Sorry.
You are sensible.
Make your expressions strong. And..
- Sir, call.
What? Excuse me.
Hello. Yes, Mr. Jayan. How are you?
No. Where will your money go?
I am sending it. Actually..
Marriage..accident. Hello. Hello.
Can you hear me, Mr. Jayan?
Hello. I can't hear, Mr. Jayan.
Mr. Jayan, I am coming. Hello.
Don't give me Mr. Jayan's call.
- Okay, sir. Sorry.
Nonsense.
How was it?
- Sir, superb.
Power of satellite.
Strange city!
Okay, sir. You go in.
Not you. Both of you go in.
Come.
Wait. Wait.
What happened?
Whom are you calling?
Mr. Chaddha.
- Gagan, what are you doing?
Impression. Impression. Come on.
Yes, Mr. Chaddha.
This is Gagandeep.
Mr. Shubhendu's secretary.
Strange city.
Hello.
Yes. Yes, Mr. Chaddha. No problem.
Yes. I understand. Don't worry.
Yes, Mr. Chaddha. Please hold.
Hello, sir. I am
Shubhendu's secretary.
One moment, sir. Let me complete.
Yes, Mr. Chaddha.
I understand your problem.
But you also understand
that Mr. Shubhendu is a human.
And not a machine.
No, sir. Not money problem.
If the producer won't
give money to the writer..
..then to whom will he give?
How can the movie be
made without the writer?
Yes.
Okay. Fine.
I will tell Mr. Shubhendu..
..you are willing to pay
four times the market price.
Fine. Fine. I will
talk to him. Okay. Yes.
Okay, sir.
Sorry, sir. Mobile is a nuisance.
You get a call anywhere.
Not in this room.
This has been especially installed.
So that there is no mobile
phone's signal in this room.
Sorry, sir.
No. It makes no difference.
Neither your bogus phone
nor your being a writer.
Look, writer is
the one who can write.
And a good writer is the
one who can write more.
It doesn't make a
difference as to what he writes.
Because like destiny,
stories are decided beforehand.
Wow, sir! Like destiny,
stories are decided beforehand.
Sir, you yourself are a good writer.
- No. First listen to me.
Don't cut me off.
Hear what the person
is saying. Okay?
Excuse me.
Hello. Yes.
Hel..
If you ask for money, we will
chop you into so many pieces..
..that it will be
difficult to tell the pieces apart.
Got it? Before giving you money..
..won't I give money
to bump you off?
Don't call up again. Got it?
What happened?
Nothing, ma'am. I was passing by.
I thought I will say hello.
Hello, ma'am.
I told you. I hate actors.
But I love writers.
Don't worry about money.
Your money is safe.
Look, you will be paid according..
..to the number of pages you write.
Rate is fixed here.
The manager will tell you outside.
And the tape..will
tell you the story.
Thank you.
It's like this.
I want all the
dialogues in this serial.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Are we making a serial
based on this English serial?
The most important
this is stay away from stress.
You don't take stress.
I give stress.
Subhedhu.
What is your problem?
My problem is that I am
a writer not a thief. - So?
I will not steal.
Why don't you understand?
Stories can never be stolen.
- They can.
Someone puts in all his
effort to make a story.
He joins every
incident to make a story.
Gives importance to
every dialogue, every word.
And you can just
use them like that.
That's a sin, Gagan. It's stealing.
Mr. Judge.
There's no such
thing a sins and merits.
It's a sin, Gagan. A sin.
- It's no sin.
Gagan, don't try
to justify yourself.
Listen to me.
The English ruled us
for 200 years, right.
And if you're stealing
from English serials..
..you're actually
doing some patriotic.
You're avenging our ancestor.
Shut up, just shut up.
Okay.
Fine. Just a minute.
Do you have the money to
pay next month's rent?
No.
- You don't.
Then you shut up.
Your good for nothing principles.
You're always bragging otherwise..
..and now that we've work,
you're running away.
Actually speaking, this is
why you don't have friends.
People runaway seeing you.
They scram.
Earlier I thought you came
to Mumbai to get ruined.
But now I am assured that..
..you came here to ruin me instead.
Because you know
I am your friend, and..
..we belong to the same city,
and I will take pity on you..
..and won't leave you alone,
and you're taking advantage..
..of these things and
just latched on to me.
Gagan, I won't feel
offended by anything you say.
Because I know that you've
no idea what you're saying.
I know what I am saying.
I am being honest.
And the truth is that I am a
worm and you're king Harishchandra.
But remember, king Harishchandra..
..had to work as a coroner
because of his honestly.
And you've turned into one as well.
Everything's getting ruined
around you and you're just..
You bloody sadist!
It's a bad day.
Give it here.
No.
Don't get angry.
Don't get angry.
Are you depressed?
Then find a friend.
Hi.
- Hi.
Hi.
Are you depressed?
Depressed, why?
No, it's written on 'chat-chat'..
.."If you're depressed,
find a friend, make friends".
Okay, but making
friends is a good thing.
So..you made me your friend?
Why are you asking like that?
You just said making
friends is a good thing.
So, don't you believe
in doing good things?
But how can we be friends.
We don't even know
each other's names.
I know your name.
You're Kanak from Delhi.
How do you know?
- No, don't worry.
You told me.
- Me?
Yesterday, at 2 o'clock.
In the afternoon.
- I see.
So that was you.
So it was you who was
saying "Anybody there". - Right.
You see.
I am Sudhendu.
Sudhendu Roy.
Listen. Why did you
run away when I replied?
I didn't run away.
Just pulling your leg.
We can joke around
with friends, can't we?
I didn't know that friends
are that deeply related.
You're smart.
- That's my job.
I didn't understand.
I am a writer.
- Writer! Interesting.
What kind of a writer?
Film writer.
I don't believe this.
Which films have you written?
Hello.
- Darn it.
Hello.
Are you there?
Kanak, I am there.
Your voice is not that clear.
What were you saying?
I was saying which
films have you written?
'Gaddar',
'Dil Chahta Hai', 'Lagaan'.
'Kaho Naa..' and just a few more.
Hello. Are you there?
Yes, I am there.
- What happened?
I mean..it's really huge.
Sir, you're such a famous man..
- Please, don't call me sir.
And don't be so formal.
I am not that old.
- How old are you?
I am 24.
24?
Yes.
Amazing. Unbelievable.
At such a young age..
Don't be formal..
- Yes, you're so successful.
It's quite incredible, you know.
But success is a state
of mind, Kanak. - Okay.
You're successful as well.
You're confident.
- No, I am not very sure about that.
I can feel your
confidence in your voice.
In my voice?
I see.
What else can you
find out from the voice?
That, you're very beautiful.
True of false.
Maybe..maybe not.
How can one question
have two answers? - Why?
Doesn't a coin have two sides?
You're such a big writer
and you don't know that.
Beauty lies in the eye of
the beholder. - Correct.
David Hume, said that.
David Hume..
That beauty lies in
the eyes of the beholder..
..but I cannot see you.
Then take a look.
I am switching on my webcam.
Hi.
Can you see me?
I am sorry. Can you see me?
I see you.
That's you?
Is that you?
Yes.
But I can't see you yet.
No, I haven't
switched on my webcam.
I mean, I don't have one.
I mean, I had one but removed it.
Actually..my fans
keep bothering me..
..asking me to come
online and so on.
So I don't like it.
And anyway, there
isn't much to see in me.
I didn't understand.
No, I mean..what is there?
I am just a regular
24 year old guy.
You know.
Height 6 feet 1 inch.
Hair, black, thick.
They've grown long too.
And..I play football so
I've a strong body as well.
My friends keep telling me
"You should be a model".
Are you a writer or a model?
I've done modelling.
Last year.
Gagan.
Tea.
Here.
- Sorry.
I was too angry last night.
Last night
I realised the truth, Gagan.
Please, don't start
the day with a quarrel.
No. Gagan, I've
realised that I am wrong.
No, I didn't mean to say that.
I was getting it wrong.
Even after you left last night..
..I kept telling myself
"You're wrong and I am right".
But something
strange happened with me.
I met a girl.
Girl, at night?
- On the internet.
On a chat site.
We talked a lot. And
I lied to her, Gagan.
I told her I've long, black hair.
I am 24 years old.
I've a body like Sylvester Stallone
and I've written films.
Do you know which ones? 'Lagaan',
'Gaddar', 'Dil Chahta Hai'.
Bravo my boy.
What did she say?
Will you be my friend?
- Why did you say that?
No, Gagan, she said to me
"Will you be my friend".
I've realised the
importance of lies.
And see for yourself.
What is life?
A dream! An illusion!
Everything real is actually a lie.
And whatever is a lie..
is a lie after all.
What did my honesty
give me uptil last night?
Only sorrows and pain.
And what did one
night of lying give me?
Deep sleep. Confidence.
Friendship with a girl.
When I woke up in the morning,
my world seemed different.
It seemed like colours
had scattered from the sky.
Like..a fragrance in the air.
Like my heart's grown wings
and is flying over cloud seven.
Are you in love?
I am.
"What has happened?"
"What just happened?"
"It was right here,
but is lost now."
"What do I tell you.."
"..about the state of my heart."
"I am wherever you are."
"Let the inevitable happen now."
"I won't live without you."
"Says my heart."
"Let the inevitable happen now."
"I won't live without you."
"Says my heart."
"I wonder why your
memories touch me."
"It fills my world with flowers."
"Fragrates my life."
"What has happened?"
"What just happened?"
"It was right here,
but is lost now."
"Let the inevitable happen now."
"I won't live without you."
"Says my heart."
"Let the inevitable happen now."
"I won't live without you."
"Says my heart."
Gagan!
Thank you.
I stayed up all night,
kept thinking.
Why is my heart beating?
What so special in my
life after you arrived.
It happens when you've
high blood pressure.
Correct. Before I met you..
..I didn't know there
was pressure in blood.
I was absolutely numb.
It also happens
when emotions go dull.
Lovely observation.
I wasn't just numb, I was dead.
Maybe you are right.
This city.
It kills all your emotions
after you spend some time here.
I don't know yet.
It's been just two
months since I came here.
Maybe I will know soon.
I am so jealous of you.
All your emotions are still intact.
Actually, that's the
secret of your beauty as well.
Are you flirting with me?
- What do you think?
I don't know.
Have you ever looked
yourself in the mirror?
You look so innocent.
You are lying?
- Why?
Aren't you innocent?
Yes. I am.
But it's not about the innocent.
About my beauty.
Is it a lie?
Is it a lie?
- Yes.
Is it really a lie?
Fine, it's not a lie.
Then why did you say it was?
Okay, sorry. It was a mistake.
Sorry won't do.
What else?
- A kiss.
A small on, on the cheek.
Excuse me, mister.
I am a professional.
Professional actress.
You know I respect
you much more now.
By the way, yesterday I went
to Bittu's house after dinner.
He was jealous that
I had dinner with you.
Why jealous?
He thought we're having an affair.
So you told him that we
have no connection at all.
I told him that
you're a professional.
Professional actress.
Fine, tell me what
Aman ask about me?
Yes, he was saying that he's
throwing a party at his house..
..and I should bring you along..
..but you won't come with me now
because you're upset with me.
I am not upset, stupid.
Girls talk like that.
You don't understand.
Yes, I couldn't understand girls.
Fine, what's the party for?
His marriage anniversary.
Aman's married?
His children's birthday's
on the same day as well.
Everything happened
on the same day.
It's kept in the storeroom.
Go and take it.
Where's the script?
Mona, does it take this
long for everyone. - What?
I mean does everyone
take this long to drink tea?
It depends on the person.
What do you mean?
When you ask for
something sincerely..
..get's what he wishes for.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Welcome.
Kanak, who is in your family?
Everyone.
Mom, dad, my elder brother, Rubal.
I see. Don't you have friends?
What do you mean?
I have so many friends.
Deepa, Mansi, Raunak, Shrisha.
- Okay.
And Tony.
Tony's my closest friend
I see. Tony.
What does Tony do?
- Nothing.
He's the sporty type.
Just running around all day.
He keeps jumping around.
He's crazy.
- He's young.
Yes. Approximately my age.
You like sports.
- I love it.
In fact, you play soccer as well.
Tell me,
who is your favourite player.
Mike Tyson.
Tyson?
Isn't he a boxer?
No! Not that Mike Tyson.
This is Mike Tyson II. His son.
He plays football for the US.
Don't you know?
Brazil's centre forward, Ronaldo.
Brazil's centre forward, Ronaldo.
Brazil's centre forward, Ronaldo.
Brazil's centre forward, Ronaldo.
Brazil's centre forward, Ronaldo.
Brazil's centre forward, Ronaldo.
Brazil's centre forward..
Brazil's centre forward, Ronaldo.
Brazil's centre forward, Ronaldo.
The one from 'Bend
It Like Beckham'.
There was a film on him.
I will remember this number.
Beckham is from England, midfield.
Brazil's centre forward, Ronaldo.
Actually, I feel
Rivaldo's better than Ronaldo.
But I'll tell you,
Beckham's the best.
But you know what?
- What?
It wasn't fair what
happened with Maradona.
Maradona?
Argentina right?
What happened with Maradona?
What kind of a soccer
player are you?
Didn't you know that
Maradona was addicted to drugs?
Now he's in the rehab.
Kanak's, that's old news.
He's absolutely alright now.
He's fine.
Last week I received a
mail from him. He's okay now.
Sorry, what?
- What?
You know Maradona?
We do talk sometimes.
He's an old family friend.
- No way.
How is your friend?
That..Tony.
He's well off.
But he gets very angry.
When he found out I was
coming to chat with you..
..he started quarrelling with me.
Look, bruise.
Do your parents like him?
They hate him.
But what to do? I love him.
"I love him."
You love him.
Hi.
Who is he?
Hey, cut it! Who is he?
Who is he? Throw him out.
Throw him out!
Hey, bro. We're shooting here.
Will you please sit at the side?
Please. Thank you.
We'll do one more, Mr. Khan.
Arjun.
Arjun Rampal!
Mr. Arjun, I'm a big fan.
I'm a big fan of yours.
I've watched all your movies.
Even your first one..
I forgot the name..
But anyway, autograph.
Sure.
You have a pen?
- Yes.
Here you go.
Arjun. Goggles.
Wow!
Your name?
Sheila.
Sheila Nayar.
- Nice name.
By the way, I'm also an actress.
Great.
Sir. I am also..
- He's my secretary.
Gagandeep.
Yeah.
Great. Take good care of her.
Good luck.
This isn't right, Mona.
Everything happens for the best.
I'm not getting my cheque.
What's good in that?
Look, you think you
lost a single cheque.
And I can see that..
..five of your
cheques are in the process.
How is that?
Look. If you take your
entire payment from the producer..
..he will never call you again.
But if you ask
for half the amount..
..then he will call you often.
Because you gave him 50% discount.
So, isn't that 5
cheques for 10 jobs.
You mean I should ask
him for half the amount.
Madam, actually..
Sorry.
Madam, I couldn't
sleep the entire night.
I would sleep and
then think that how I..
Hello.
Yes. Go ahead, son.
You want half the amount.
Wouldn't I rather cut you half?
You will be reduced to
three feet from six feet.
Disconnect the call.
Yes. What were you
thinking all night? - Nothing.
Just that I should come
and greet you in the morning.
Hello, madam.
Sudhendu. Are you there?
Sudhendu.
Hello. Okay.
- Hi, Kanak.
Hi. Where were you all these days?
I was slightly busy.
Why? Did you miss me?
I think so.
- I see.
Was Tony out of town?
Him. I won't let him
go even if he wants to.
In fact.
He wants to meet you today.
He just wants to say hello.
Kanak, I..
I am a little busy.
Another time.
At least say hello.
Otherwise he'll be heartbroken.
He'll be heartbroken.
And you?
I can't tolerate it if
someone hurt's Tony.
Meet my baby, Tony.
Okay. Hi, Tony.
Hi, I am Tony.
Is he Tony?
This is your Tony.
Hi, Tony.
- Hello.
I can't shake your hand.
Good to see you, Tony.
Listen.
What about the party?
It got cancelled.
- Why cancelled?
I told Bittu, why do you
want to be entertain guests..
..on your birthday here in Mumbai.
I suggest that you go to
Switzerland with your family.
So that means Aman won't
be here on his anniversary?
No. But we will go out for dinner.
I am there.
I am there.
I am there.
Om Mahalaxmi Films, serial no.
375 opening episode.
Take one and clap.
Action!
What burns is fire,
what dies down are ashes.
The ashes that are explosive,
is called Radhaprakash.
I will set the sky on fire.
For you my love, I will
shake this world apart.
Cut!
Super.
See, Tiwari..
- Thank you. Thank you.
Great. - Where I get money,
I will do it. Nothing else.
I don't have any other problem.
Thank you.
Sir, was it okay.
Do you have a doubt?
- I tell you, sir.
Up there it's God and
down here it's you..
..can I ever have a problem?
- No problem at all, you're my boy.
The press is here.
Take his interview.
- Come on.
Come, Aman, let's sit here.
Aman.
Aman, I am Shiela.
- Hello.
For you.
- Thank you.
Please sit.
Yes.
Aman, I heard that you're
leaving television. - No, I..
And this is for sister.
Who?
Your wife.
And your three children. There's
three more in this, for them.
Aman, you're married
and even have children.
No, she's lying.
Who sent you?
Aren't you ashamed
of saying such things?
Get out of here!
You're here to ruin
my career, aren't you?
Get up!
Security. Get out of here.
I will put you behind bars.
You want to ruin my career.
I know girls like you.
I will have you arrested.
- Aman..
Security. Get out of here.
Where do they come from?
Get lost. What are you staring at?
Really, I am secrious.
You have to wear...
How dare you?
Darling, I was only
discussing costume.
How dare you?
- What happened?
How dare you lie to me?
How dare you lie to me
that Aman's married?
You call me your friend.
I'm sure even his
driver doesn't know you.
Come on, Sheila.
The other day you
called me your secretary.
Did I say anything?
- Listen, Mr. Gagandeep Singh.
I came here leaving
my house, my family..
..because I want to be a star.
And I will be.
And the day I become a star,
I will ruin you. Get that.
I am already ruined because of you.
How much more are
you going to ruin me?
You are a bloody a loser.
I am an actor.
You are nothing.
Baby, please understand.
Shut up!
- You shut up!
I've been talking to you decently
and you've been taking advantage.
Oh no!
Sudhendhu!
Sudhendhu, are you there?
Hi. Hi, baby.
Don't call me a baby.
No, I didn't mean it like that.
I meant a baby.
You know, the name..
- I am no longer a child.
I am not a baby, okay.
I am a babe.
You're a babe. Suddenly?
How? What happened?
One second.
Wow.
Great.
Pick up today's newspaper.
Yes.
Open the magazine section.
I did.
What did you see?
Nothing.
Miss. India participants.
Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu's photo.
Phalke Award.
Rekha and Nana to
boycott the 'Yatra' premiere.
What?
See it again.
Kanak, your photo.
Kanak, your photo in the paper.
- Right.
So, am I a baby or babe?
Kanak, you're
participating in Miss. India.
My God, I don't believe it.
This can't be you.
This can't be you, Kanak.
Why? Don't I look
nice in the photo?
You look really nice, Kanak.
Very nice.
Are the other girls more
beautiful than me?
No, no. I didn't mean that at all.
- Aren't you happy?
I am very happy, Kanak.
I am very happy.
I don't have words to express it.
The contest is 15 days later.
Do you know where?
- Where?
Mumbai.
- Do you know what that means?
No. What?
That means 15 days
later we're going to meet.
So, Mr. Writer/Model Shubendhu Roy.
Will you meet me?
Yes, of course.
Can't wait to meet you.
Mr. Sidhwani, I've been
thinking for quite a while in life.
I used to be a gold medallist
during my college days, sir.
In acting.
I've been helping
Shubhendu since he's my friend.
But now I'm wondering what will
become of the actor inside me.
Will he die of suffocation?
If he dies, the production
manager's spot is vacant.
You can come join us.
You mean to say I should give
up acting and join production?
No, my boy,
I'm saying you should do..
..what you can do well in life.
Four dogs, four horses,
two monkeys and one snake.
Ten boys, thirty girls
and one hundred dancers..
..should get to the shoot
at 9:00 AM sharp. No delays.
Yes sir. - Aright.
- Greetings sir. - Greetings.
Susie baby!
Why, my boy? Are you
looking to die today?
Do you want to die?
Shall I have you bumped off?
Shall I call the don? Tell me!
Do you want to die
today or tomorrow?
What?
What?
Nothing. I was passing this way..
..so I thought..
I should say hello. Hello.
Gagandeep Singh,
I loathe depressed faces.
I am not depressed, sir.
I am confused.
What are you confused about?
Sir, at your behest
I gave up acting..
..and started working in production
..but I don't know whether
or not I did the right thing.
Listen to me, my boy.
Time grants us everything.
Take it light. Come
to my room. Let's go.
Hello Sheila.
Sheila, it is you, isn't it?
Mr. Gagan, you have forgotten me.
You got upset with me
over such a trivial matter.
I am not upset. You fought
with me and left the other day.
I hear you are a production
manager at Nain Sidhwani's..
..and I haven't found work.
That's not very nice, is it?
That's not true.
So when will you
introduce me to Nain Sidhwani?
Baby, he is busy these days.
Oh, come on, Gags. It is
easy for you to make him free.
Look darling, you will meet
Sidhwani. You will gain a role.
What will I gain?
Have I ever refused you anything?
What are you doing?
Where are you taking me?
I am taking you to
my house, of course.
No, it's very late.
Baby, this is such a
big day of your life.
I introduced you to Sidhwani.
He liked you.
He offered you a role in a serial.
I've done so much for you.
Can't you accept my tiny request?
I accepted what you said and
went to dinner with you, right?
Yes. But the dinner was so heavy.
And one should drink
coffee after a heavy dinner.
So why do you need me
while drinking coffee?
One should not drink
coffee alone. It causes acidity.
You aren't alone. You have
your flat-mate Shubhendu.
I got him out of the way long ago.
He must be enjoying a picture.
Yes. Oh! So you brought
me here as per a plan.
Yes. And the plan is very simple.
I shall drink coffee and I
won't drink coffee all alone.
Rat! Rat! Rat! Rat!
Where are you? Where?
I cannot see anything.
Look. Don't come near.
I have something
important to tell you.
Stay away from me.
I told you I have
something important to tell you.
I told you, don't come near!
It is important. I have
to whisper it in the ear.
There is no coffee in the house.
So what do we do now?
- Exercise.
Look, I am afraid.
Where's the light switch?
The switch is to your right.
Switch it on yourself.
Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!
Shubhendu, you're at home?
We came home for coffee.
I'm glad you are at home.
All three of ..
.. us will drink coffee together.
Take a seat.
You've met Sheila, haven't you?
Sheila?
Sheila?
Sheila!
Sheila!
Sheila!
To hell with you!
A girl slipped out of my hand.
Damn the bald one!
What are you doing? I am tense.
I'm trying to calm myself.
Does this relieve you of
your tension? - Certainly.
Let me join you.
What are you tense about?
- What are you tense about?
You won't understand
what I'm tense for.
You tell me what
are you tense about?
She is coming.
- Who's she?
Kanak.
- Who is Kanak?
My internet friend.
Kanak. She's coming to Mumbai.
So what if she's coming?
- She says she wants to meet me.
So meet her.
I can't meet with her,
buddy Gagan. -Why?
I lied to her, Gagan.
I told her I am twenty-four.
I do body building and I
have black and curly hair.
What? - Yes. This is
really cause for tension.
That's right, buddy.
What should I do, Gagan?
Don't worry. Go meet
her without reservation.
What are you saying, Gagan?
-I mean it.
Everyone
tells lies over the internet.
Just as you lied to her she must
have lied to you about herself.
She must be a fat, dark
skinned middle-aged woman.
She is not like that, buddy.
What is your Kanak
like if not like that?
What is this? Is her photo
printed in the newspaper? - Yes.
What happened? - She's been
selected as a finalist for Miss India.
This one.
This is your Kanak?
- Yes.
Had it. Doomed!
- What's the matter?
I'm tense once again.
She will laugh her guts
out when you meet her.
No, she won't laugh.
She will bash you!
You told her such dirty lies!
Tell me what to do, Gagan.
Run away!
- Run away?
 Where?
America. Tell her you've
signed a new movie in Hollywood.
You have to go for
the story-sitting.
You will get out of meeting
her and make an impression too.
Isn't it a good idea?
It is a good idea.
Still..
- Still what?
I want to meet her as well, Gagan.
Have you lost your mind!
Am I that ugly, Gagan?
Tell me.
Don't you like me?
- That's not the point.
I am your friend. I understand you.
She's a friend too.
She will also understand.
Please Gagan.
What shall I do?
Everyone claims beauty of the
soul is far more important..
..than a beautiful body.
Everybody says so.
Then she will know my mind,
won't she, Gagan?
Tell me, Gagan, she will
know my mind, won't she?
Okay. Go meet her.
But get a makeover
before you do that. Get it?
Makeover?
He did not give me a haircut, Gagan
so why did he take so much money?
It does not cost to
get you a haircut..
..it costs to find
hair on your head.
"Moon, my heart"
Enough.
Gagan!
Yes.
Kanak.
- Where?
Hello.
Where? - Hello.
Shubhendu?
- Yes, Kanak. I'm here, I'm here.
Hi. - Hi. Listen.
I am coming to Mumbai on the 15th.
I shall come to pick
you up at the airport.
Good. I'll inform the
organizers not to send their car.
I shall come with you. In any
case I am free on the first day.
Okay, okay. So we
shall have lunch together.
Done.
- Fine.
You know, Shubhendu, I'm
really excited to come to Mumbai.
Obviously. Being selected for
Miss India is not a small feat.
Yes, that's true but I am
more excited about meeting you.
You have been watching me
daily for the past six months.
I will be seeing you for the
first time. I'm damn excited!
Kanak, I have to go out
on an important errand.
I shall speak to you later.
Okay.
- Okay, bye.
What? - You will not go
wearing these glasses.
I cannot see without
my glasses, buddy Gagan.
So what? Who can see when in love?
Give me my glasses, Gagan.
You can't see and I can't hear.
Get up and make coffee.
Gagan!
Excuse me.
- Yes.
Is that today's newspaper?
Show me. I'll be right back.
Surprises are very
important to girl, you know?
I mean they like them.
Really? When Shubhendu
came by flight that day..
..even you were surprised.
So why did you go away?
I meant good surprises,
not bad surprises. Stupid!
With what do I surprise her?
Anything. Dress,
necklace, sandals, anything.
So say gift, why are
you saying surprise?
A gift means a surprise. Stupid.
What is so surprising about a gift?
Every girl knows the boy is
going to bring her a gift.
What is so surprising about it?
That's what I mean. What they know,
that is a good surprise.
And what the girls don't know,
that's a bad surprise. Stupid!
I see. Give it to her.
Take this. Bad surprise.
Don't complain later
that I did not surprise you.
Stupid!
- But I am unaware of her taste.
So ask her.
- Okay, I'll ask her.
Kanak, do you like gifts?
- What kind of a question is that?
Who doesn't like gifts? Why?
Are you bringing me a gift?
I was contemplating it.
But I don't know what
you like or dislike.
Expensive things. I dislike them.
And I like everything
given lovingly.
Kanak, you are exactly
as I imagined you to be.
What am I like?
You understand inner beauty.
You don't care about outer veneer.
And that's wonderful.
Who told you I don't
care about outer veneer?
More than the gift I
like the wrapper..
..and my favourite is pure
white with a red ribbon on top.
Slow.
What's that?
A gift for Kanak.
So why did you get
it packed in white?
Couldn't you find gold or silver?
She likes white.
The girl appears to
be some kind of saint.
But you better not start
acting saintly, get it?
You won't go to see her
on that rickety scooter.
I shall book a car for you.
What's the need, Gagan? - Shut up.
Gagan, you're needlessly..
Hello. Chaddha travels.
- Yes sir.
Look, this is Gagandeep
Singh from Om Mahalaxmi films.
Tell me what you need.
Yes. Look, we need a car with
a chauffeur in proper uniform.
Okay sir. - The car will
come to Ghatkopar first.
Then on to the airport.
And then to Colaba.
How much will it cost?
- Just a second, sir. Ten thousand.
I see. What if it
is a edium range car?
Five thousand.
I see. What if the car
doesn't come to Ghatkopar..
..and goes directly to the
airport and then to Colaba..
..what will it cost then?
Two thousand five hundred, sir.
- Alright. Book the car, okay.
You see? This is called
a production management.
And this is called..
"Things that are to
happen will happen now."
"My heart says I won't
survive without you."
"Things that are to
happen will happen now."
"My heart says I won't
survive without you." - Gagan!
What are you doing?
Your chauffeur driven car
is parked right there. Okay?
Listen. Take off these glasses.
You sure?
- Sure.
Thanks.
Take care.
Excuse me. Chaddha travels.
- Yes sir. Please come, sir.
No, no, sit. This will
take a little longer.
This will take time. I'll be back.
Look, look. The bald
man is being stylish.
Yes Gagan, tell me.
You idiot! She's standing in front
of you for the past half hour.
Can't you see?
I told you I cannot
see without my glasses. You ass!
Go, you duffer!
- Okay, bye.
Hi.
- Hi. - Kanak
Have you brought the car?
- Car? The car is over there.
Actually I said
not to bring the car.
My friend is coming to pick me.
You misunderstand. I am not
from the Miss India contest.
So?
Welcome to Mumbai, Miss Kanak.
Shubhendu! Is he sitting in
the car? Such a snob he is!
Shubhendu!
Come out right now, I say.
- Excuse me.
Shubhendu.. I am Shubhendu.
Shall we?
You've come to Mumbai for
the first time, haven't you?
Yes.
You must be stunned.
Why?
When a person visits
Mumbai for the first time..
..he or she tends to be stunned.
I am not stunned but I am
feeling a little strange.
Why? Why?
This is a strange city.
Crowds everywhere.
Everything seems to be disbanded.
Everyone appears to be running.
I wonder where.
The bigger the buildings,
the smaller the homes.
I thought it would be
a very beautiful city.
But this turned out to
be the exact opposite.
No matter what the
city appears to be..
..the people living
here are very nice.
It's a great city to live in.
Yes. But it is quite depressing
for a person who is visiting.
I suppose so.
So..
How was the flight?
- Okay.
Good. Did they serve you food?
- Sorry?
I mean, did they serve
you food on the flight?
Yes, but I didn't eat anything.
You know, I was thinking
if you are hungry now..
..then maybe before
going to the hotel we could..
You know. We could stop
and eat at a restaurant.
I mean if.. If you're hungry.
Hello Mr. Part time waiter,
full time actor.
Good morning, sir.
- Did your cheque get cleared?
Yes sir. The cheque.
Don't be so harried.
At least you meet Mona, the
secretary under this pretext.
Take her on a date once and
all your cheques will be cleared.
I don't have money for a
calendar in my pocket..
..and you're talking about a date.
Tell me something.
If I get your cheque cleared..
..will you do something for me?
I will do anything you ask, sir.
Then pay attention.
- Yes.
Give me a beer first.
- Yes.
Then..
Yes.
Mr. Roy. What a
pleasant surprise, Mr. Roy!
Why did you take the
trouble to come here?
You should have told me.
I would have sent a car.
Ma'am, you don't know what
a great fan I am of Mr. Roy.
Not just me, all of
India is a fan of Mr. Roy.
Welcome! Welcome! Welcome, Mr. Roy!
Good morning, sir.
This way, sir. This way, ma'am.
Very good acting, sir.
Is the role over?
- No. There's a song.
There's a song. That will be fun.
Thank you.
Good evening.
Please, ma'am.
- No thanks.
What shall we eat?
 Anything. Anything light.
I'm not hungry.
Please decide. I just don't know.
Please decide, Kanak.
- Yes.
I'll have a gnocchi with
picante and bruschetta, please.
With olives and herbs, ma'am?
- Yes, please.
Drink?
- No, I don't drink.
Let me get you a fine mocktail,
ma'am. Blue sail.
Okay.
- Thank you. - Ma'am.
Sir, what about you?
Why don't you bring me three
roasted bread and lentil fry?
And buttermilk.
Sir's favourite. As always.
Lentil fry and buttermilk.
Wonderful sir. Wonderful.
- Thank you.
You like it?
Nice restaurant, isn't it? Like it?
It is a pretty expensive place.
Isn't it? It is very expensive.
But they've got good names.
What was it?
Bruschetta. Picante. Gnocchi.
And what's the name of
your drink? Blue sale.
What does it mean if you
translate it in Hindi? Blue sale.
This is not S-A-L-E. It is S-A-I-L.
As in sail in the shore.
Sail? Waiter! It's.. It's..
It's a misprint. It said SA..
Yes sir. - Look, the blue
sail you told me about..
..what have you written? S-A-I-L.
It's not sale.
Sailing the ship. Go. Go.
Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you, sir. Thank you.
It's a misprint.
So..
So what?
What's going on?
Nothing. Preparing for the finals.
You aren't appearing
for the third year.
I am in the second year.
So finals?
I was referring
to the finals of Miss India.
Oh sorry, sorry. The
finals are coming up now.
Madame. Monsieur.
Sorry. - We would like to
sing a song for the two of you.
"The story of the heart is
summed up in two words."
"It is either love or it is youth."
"Don't ask what the heart feels."
"Don't ask me any
more questions now."
"The one that the
world is crazy about."
"It is either love or it is youth."
Wow!
It's a great song!
- Really nice.
It is an Italian song.
I heard the whole version.
I heard the whole thing.
It's been pretty long.
I was walking down the street.
It was a rainy night.
Oh, it was beautiful.
And a song was playing in
a restaurant. Amore Mio.
It's so beautiful.
I can imagine.
The streets of Venice. A rainy day.
Musicians singing in a restaurant.
Amore Mio.
Amore Mio. I heard this
song in Ghatkopar, not Venice.
At a Parsi restaurant.
That was a long time ago.
I was struggling those days.
Nowadays I don't
go towards Ghatkopar.
Sir.
What's the matter? Call for me?
- Yes.
In the toilet.
- Yes.
Thank you.
- Thank you.
Excuse me. Can I..
Just one minute, okay.
What's the matter, Gagan?
Why are you banging your head?
I should be banging
your head, you dodo!
Why did you have to say you
heard that song over here?
I've never been to Venice.
Was she asking you to
draw a map of Venice?
People go to Switzerland
to shoot for Hindi songs..
..and you are bringing an
Italian song to Ghatkopar.
But I amended it. I said that
was during my struggling days.
In fact it might be good.
It sounds more realistic.
Realistic!. If I hear that
word from you once again..
..I will drown you in this
wash basin and strike you.
Everything should be glossy.
Like the car parked outside.
She was not
delighted at seeing the car.
You told her you had
long black curly hair.
She's bound to feel some
shock seeing you bald.
"Ding dong, oh, baby, sing a song"
"Give me love.."
Relax boys. Relax. What's going on?
Nothing sir, just
discussing a new idea.
Yes well, if it is stolen,
bring it to me. We'll produce it.
Gagan, there's a
problem at the shoot in Goa.
Please go there and handle it.
When would I have to leave, sir?
My car is parked outside. Get out
of the toilet and sit in the car.
Then you go to the airport. The
flight is at 2:30. Straight to Goa.
Any problem?
- No sir.
No sir. There is some confusion.
What confusion?
A bald man who wasn't bald before..
..but he is bald today.
So how did he become bald?
A bald man who wasn't bald before..
Simple. He shaved it, of course.
"Ding dong, oh, baby, sing a song"
Yes! Shubhendu, I am leaving.
But you need not worry.
You need not stress yourself, okay?
Yes!
Thanks.
Sorry, Kanak.
That took a little time.
So this is your blue sails?
Not sails. Sail.
- Yes. Sail.
Sailing the ship.
Sorry, Kanak.
I was preoccupied with the story.
What are you doing these days?
Nothing new.
The usual stuff. Writing.
I didn't write anything new.
I just wrote 'Devdas' (Hindi movie).
You have written 'Devdas'?
Yes.
It was a commercial movie. And
Sarat Chandra was not commercial.
Sarat Chandra, the writer.
Writer?
- Yes. I mean he wrote 'Devdas'.
I have written it.
I mean, he had written the novel.
I have written the script,
you know.
I told Sanjay. Sanjay..
- Sanjay?
Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
It's one man. His name.. - I know.
I told Sanjay.
It's a good classical novel.
Why are you tampering with it?
But..
I liked it.
You liked it, didn't you?
That's Sanjay's specialty.
He tampers and yet
makes a good film.
I mean he is really talented.
Really. Really.
And his combo with Shahrukh..
I told Shahrukh. I said
Sanjay and Shahrukh's..
..combo is really going to be..
He said,
"Actually it's Sanjay and.."
"..Shubhendu's combo which is.."
Shahrukh is very modest.
And..
And?
And...you also talk.
I am going on talking.
What do I say?
- Anything.
Okay. Tell me. How were you
selected for Miss India contest?
Nothing special.
I had participated in
a fashion show in college.
Someone said Miss India's
forms are available. I filled it.
And got selected accidentally.
Why accidentally?
I think you deserved it.
I don't weave dreams.
- Why?
Because they don't come true.
How are your parents?
Fine. How are your parents?
Daddy passed away a few years ago.
- Oh! I am sorry.
No. Mother was alone.
So I sent her to America.
Where in America?
Hollywood.
Shubhendu.
Oh, my God. I can't believe this!
What are you doing here?
Hi. How are you, my love?
- Sheila, Kanak. She is Sheila.
Shubhendu never
introduces anyone properly.
I am Sheila Nair.
- Hi.
The new heroine of
Shubhendu's upcoming movie.
The one that Karan Johar is
directing. He didn't tell you?
Welcome. Welcome.
Welcome to our restaurant, ma'am.
Ma'am, why didn't
you tell me before?
I would have sent my personal car.
Ma'am, you don't know.
I am a big fan of hers.
Not just me, but entire
India is crazy for her.
Ma'am, please let's have a small
picture. - No. Not today. Please.
Ma'am, please.
- Really.
Ma'am, please.
- Ma'am, please.
Please. Not today. - Ma'am, please.
Don't break our heart.
Our restaurant is closed every
Friday. Just to watch your film.
Come on.
- Please.
Okay. Fine.
- Thank you.
Ma'am.
- Thank you.
Me?
- Ma'am, please.
Or else even today the
restaurant will be closed.
Please. Please.
- Okay.
Smile.
Thank you.
- Thank you, ma'am.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Thank you.
Thank you, ma'am.
- Thank you. - Very much ma'am.
These fans are so loving.
She is your fan?
No, Sheila. She is Kanak. My
friend. My internet friend Kanak.
Oh! Friend.
So you are Kanak.
Shubhendu talks
about you all the time.
Kanak this. Kanak that.
He just doesn't stop.
You are his good friend.
Why don't you explain to him?
He is leaving
writing and trying acting.
You act also, Shubhendu?
That's why his condition is such.
He is doing Spielberg's film.
The character's demand is a
bald man. So he has turned bald.
He has lost 30 kg.
And poor guy looks like
40 when he is only 24.
Just look at him. Look
at him. Look at him.
Baby. What do you think?
I have told him so many times.
If you are so committed to acting,
you will look old in youth.
Anyway, I don't like this.
I got to go. I have a shoot.
Listen, do come for my shooting.
And bring her. Okay?
I got to go, baby. Bye.
Bye, Sheila.
- Have fun.
And thanks.
You have shaved your head?
Yeah.
- And you are 24?
Yeah. Of course, I am 24.
What did you think?
"It's a small dream."
Good to see you laugh.
- "A stranger is mine."
"What my eyes have seen, I want
to dwell it in my heart." - Wow!
"I stay awake the whole night."
"I stay awake the whole night."
Kanak, you said you
don't believe in dreams.
Actually, I am afraid to dream.
Is that so? Why?
Because they never come true?
Shall I say something, Kanak?
Whatever exist
in the world is true.
Because it exists. It exists.
Dreams are never false.
Because it exists.
That's why we have dreams.
You think I will be Miss India?
- Think?
I know for sure that
you will be Miss India.
What do I have that
I will be Miss India?
Shall I tell you the truth?
You have the most
beautiful eyes in the world, Kanak.
In which dwell many beautiful dreams.
- I don't believe this.
That's the problem.
Believe it once.
Things will become easier.
Do you know why the
sun rise everyday, Kanak?
So that it can see
your beautiful face.
And it sets at dusk
with your dreams.
And waits the whole
night for dawn to break..
..so that it can rise
and see your face again.
You are the most beautiful
girl in the world, Kanak.
Really.
I was wrong. The city
looks so beautiful from here.
Doesn't it?
I will miss Mumbai. Now
I will have to live in Hollywood.
Shall we go?
Shubhendu.
- What?
I wanted to tell you something.
- Yes. Tell me.
Shubhendu,
I had never seen you before.
But I had an image
of you in my mind.
The image of a handsome,
very handsome Shubhendu.
I was so excited to come to Mumbai.
I was going to meet
you for the first time.
I thought Shubhendu will be
like this, he will be like that.
But today when I saw
you at the airport..
..everything was wrong.
I didn't like anything.
I was angry with you.
I felt you have cheated me.
I felt like grabbing
you and...asking you why?
Why did you say such
a cruel lie to me?
Then I saw everybody
respects you so much.
You are such a big man,
yet so simple.
You have achieved a lot.
Compared to your achievements,
I am absolutely nothing.
Don't say that.
- No. I am nothing.
Still I am so proud of myself.
And you...you came like
that at the airport.
You didn't feel any complex?
Not even once did you think what
will I think, how will I feel.
You know what?
I am really lucky. Really
lucky to have a friend like you.
Am I making any sense?
Yes.
You are making sense.
I don't know whether
I should say this or not.
But Shubhendu...I...
..I think I really..
- Kanak,
 one moment.
Before you say something,
I want to tell you something.
Kanak, since morning whatever
you are seeing and thinking..
..it is all a lie, Kanak.
That car is not mine. It's hired.
This suit is also hired.
I have not written any movie.
I am struggling in Mumbai
for the past three years.
I live in Ghatkopar.
I didn't shave my head,
Kanak. It's natural.
I am bald.
And I am not 24.
And I can't even see
you properly, Kanak.
And I want to see you.
You are really very
beautiful, Kanak.
Really. Like a dream.
Sorry, Kanak. Sorry for everything.
I am leaving the city today.
Forever.
I thought I will say
hello before leaving.
If I have made any mistake,
forgive me, Ms. Mona.
You gave up so soon?
No, Ms. Mona. This city
took away everything from me.
But it didn't give me
my cheque of Rs.2500.
You know what is your problem?
You never ask for the
cheque at the right time.
It means, today while
leaving I am again wrong.
Hello, ma'am. Hello, brother.
Today is the 1st. I have
come to collect the cheque.
For Mr. Shubhendu Roy.
There is no cheque for you.
Check properly,
Mona darling. Sorry.
Mr. Sidhwani never
stops our cheque.
Look, all your
cheques have been stopped.
And Mr. Sidhwani has
given strict instructions.
Not to let you inside the office.
Are you leaving?
Or shall I call security?
Ma'am, shot is ready.
Sheila, Mona has gone crazy.
She is saying Sidhwani has
forbidden me from coming here.
All of you go. I am coming.
Okay, ma'am.
- Okay.
Not just you,
but Shubhendu as well.
What? But what did we do?
Not you. Shubhendu had come.
Four days ago.
He screamed and yelled.
He said, "I am fed up of
living this life of lies."
He removed his
name from the serial.
And called Sidhwani a thief.
Foolish man. He ruined
himself and me as well.
What does he think of himself?
I will ruin Sidhwani.
Move. I have made all this.
This is the right time.
- What?
Go.
- Yes.
Go.
- And he forgot.
Ma'am.
- I am going to show him.
I made him. And he treats
me like this. Like this.
But ma'am, listen.
- Don't talk to me.
Ma'am.
- Just don't talk to me. Alright.
Ma'am.
- What is it?
Ma'am, can I get my cheque?
- For how much?
Rs.2500.
- Take this. Take this.
Rs.25000. Now go and rob
this production house.
Will you come with me for dinner?
Thank you.
- Thank you.
Welcome.
- Welcome.
What do I tell you?
There is a lot of tension here.
I will call you. Yes.
Hey, you.
- Hello.
Will you come with me for dinner?
I... It's God's grace.
- Come on then.
Let's go.
Whoever wants to go can go.
Pack up. Get out everyone.
Sidhwani has gone crazy in his
rage. He has thrown everyone out.
Even you?
No. He has proposed
me for marriage.
Witch.
Forget it. Let's go.
"Everybody has braced their heart."
"Look, who am I?"
"Don. Don. Don."
What happened? You are drunk?
Drunk? No, my friend.
I have celebrated.
I am still celebrating. Cheers.
What are you celebrating?
I will tell you if
there is one reason.
'The ten finalists for
Miss India contest.'
'Ananya Kaur from Chandigarh.'
'Payal Garg from Mumbai.'
'Kanak Dutta from Delhi.'
Your chat friend Ms. Kanak Dutta.
Ms. India finalist.
Boss, you are the boyfriend of
Miss India finalist. Cheers.
'Anil Roy from Kolkata.
George Fernandes from Goa.'
Tell me something.
'Sridhar Reddy from...'
The other day I left
from the restaurant.
What happened after I left?
'From Pune..'
'And I know..'
What happened? Anything wrong?
No. Nothing.
We went out. We chatted a lot.
We went to the seaside.
And she said...she is
proud to be my friend.
Lovely. Lovely. Cheers.
Gagan, I felt very
inferior and weak.
I mean, I was going on
speaking lies. One after the other.
And she believed everything I said.
You know...
I couldn't break her trust.
I told her the truth.
After that you went to
Nayan Sidhwani's office.
You removed your
name from the serial.
You called Nayan Sidhwani a thief.
I couldn't tolerate
this life of lies, Gagan.
No. No. It's very good.
It's very good to speak the truth.
One needs a lot of
courage to speak the truth.
You don't find such
people these days.
And your Miss. Kanak Dutta
must have been smitten..
..after hearing your truth.
I don't know that.
But I am sure she must have been
happy that I told her the truth.
You scoundrel!
You must have been born
after the death of 10000 fools.
You have no brains.
No brains at all.
Your brains has rotted,
completely honest man.
After knowing your truth did
she call you up even once?
Did she give you a pass
for the beauty contest?
You fool, after knowing your
truth she wouldn't have been happy.
She would have been
disgusted with you.
Bald, ugly, blind man.
You went to Sidhwani's office.
You ruined all dreams,
all planning.
You like to hear the truth,
don't you?
So hear the truth.
Today Sidhwani
proposed to Sheila. Proposed.
You didn't tell her you love her?
When she would have
asked what will I feed her..
..what would I have told her?
In our house you
get sizzling truth.
After your fight with Sidhwani
nobody will give us any work.
We got one chance.
You ruined everything.
Listen to me, Gagan my friend.
Quiet. Don't call me friend.
Don't call me friend.
Why did your mother
name you Shubhendu?
She should have named you suicide.
Because anyone who lives
with you will commit suicide.
'Mother and father,
today I blame both of you.'
'Because you told me that one
should always speak the truth.'
'Because you said
truth always triumphs.'
Sir, bill.
Sir, it's already late.
- One more drink.
Sir, it is closing time.
- Come on. One more drink.
Richard! Nonsense! I have
been drinking here for 15 years.
You can't give me another drink.
All of you are idiots.
Why have you come here now?
Sidhwani proposed
to me for marriage.
But who said that I said yes?
Stupid.
But you wanted to be a star, right?
Yes. To ruin you.
But I can still do that.
Look, my life is set.
What about you?
Yes, I am coming.
And now it's number four.
The beauty from the capital.
Ms. Kanak Dutta.
Kanak, tell me.
Do you consider yourself beautiful?
Beauty lies in the
eyes of the beholder.
Well said. Tell me. Who said it?
David Hume.
- David Hume.
Okay. Tell me.
Which is your favorite book?
'Devdas'.
Who was the writer of 'Devdas'?
Sarat Chandra.
Sarat Chandra.
Okay, miss. Tell me.
Which is your favorite city?
It has to be Mumbai.
- Alright. But why?
The people here are very nice.
It's a great city to live in.
What will you do if
you become Miss India?
I repeat my question.
What will you do if
you become Miss India?
Shubhendu.
If I become Miss India, I would
like to work for world peace.
This was my answer.
I wanted to say this.
But I couldn't say it.
I couldn't lie
although I wanted to.
Because I saw your face, Shubhendu.
The other day you told me
so easily, "Kanak, I am lying."
It must have hurt you so much.
You must have felt so humiliated.
Still you spoke the truth.
Because Shubhendu never lies.
He is an honest man.
And today I couldn't lie
when I thought of you.
The truth is that if
I become Miss India..
..I would try my
luck in Hindi movies.
I want to be an actress.
Thank you.
'Sorry, mother. Sorry, father.'
