Hi, friends.
There are many people who scribble their good thoughts anywhere.
At times on their hand.
At times on their clothes.
At times on the wall of their rented flat.
l too had this habit.
To write in this diary.
My best friend Kartik had gifted me this diary.
Kartik and l..we are childhood friends.
We have even shared innerwear.
By the way, Kartik borrowed money from Sumi..
..which he hasnt repaid till now.
Sumi was like this only.
The social worker of our group.
We used to splurge half of her interesting salary package..
..that she earned from her boring call centre job.
And she is Malini. Kartiks sweet, silly girlfriend.
She is my girlfriend.
And you all know her name.
Right. Aditi.
We are in love. But we are not sure.
She is Dia, lrshad, Ranjit, and this is brother Rashid.
These are some wonderful moments.
These moments and this friendship is my life.
l will tell you about it through this diary.
Oh, yes, thats me.
Since childhood, l loved to entertain people.
Like others, even l had my own dreams.
And l wanted to live my dream..
..every single second of my life.
Every second till l die.
The journey of my dream began there..
..where everyday countless people begin their journey.
VT station.
Yes, dude.
But where are you?
Here in Mumbai.
What! Are you mad?
You left on Friday.
So, what do l do? They chased me from there.
Chill, dude. Where have you reached?
Hey..
Hello! Hello!
Dude! Bharat!
lll be there in a few minutes.
Okay.
Dude!
How are you? Fine.
You wont reform. What?
Not what.
Someday you will land into trouble because of your behaviour.
We will see.
And tell me. Why do you look so depressed?
You too mock me. My parents there and here, you.
Why are you getting so serious?
Just because your father said something to you.
Something? Not something, he said a lot.
The same old college, studies and attendance.
At times, l dont understand why l took up science.
Chill, dude.
For the past two years, weve been thinking the same.
Yes, babes. Where are you?
l am just reaching in fifteen minutes.
Thats it. Okay.
Fifteen minutes means fifteen minutes.
Okay. See you soon.
Are you coming to the coffee shop?
To meet Malini.
You go.
lf possible then photocopy the nuclear physics notes.
l have not attended college for the past two weeks.
l dont know whats happening.
Fine. Promise me a drink.
Kartik, l am serious. Do be serious at times.
Promise me. Fine.
l have photocopied all your notes. Take it.
You are a rock star, man. Bye.
Thanks. Yes.
Hi, Bharat.
Hi. Where are you?
l have come to the mall for shopping.
l was wondering if you could gift something to me on my birthday..
it would be so nice.
l would have bought something in black.
You know, dont you? Black really looks good on you.
Not black. Anyway, where are you? ln the flat.
Listen, NCB really has some good shoes.
l was wondering if we could go to watch some play.
Oh, God. Someday you will become dramatic watching plays.
l dont understand this obsession with theatre and plays.
Lets not start this again.
Hello. Bharat, you are starting it as always.
Fine. Shall we go to watch a movie?
Bharat, my cousins are here.
l am sorry. l forgot.
Anyway, baby, come on now..give me a smile.
l will make it up for you tomorrow. l promise.
Yes, babes. l understand.
Listen, l have got to go. Okay. So, l will see you again. Bye.
Why dont we both go to Enigma? Just you and me.
Nobody else. Everybody will come. Forget the others. Hi.
Hi. Hi.
l hope l am not disturbing.
Yes, you are. Please take your ugly face out of my sight.
Come on. l am not so ugly.
lf you had not been his girlfriend..
..then l would have teased you by now.
ln your dreams. But l dream about you.
Do something. Do something about your friend.
His sense of humour is just like him.
Come on, Malini. He..half the time, he is in some other world.
Right, hero?
What do you mean? Kartik, have you..
No, babes. You know that l gave it up.
Darling, trust me. He will say anything to impress you.
Okay. Come on. l am just kidding.
Simmi had called. She was saying hi.
And a big hug for Malini.
So.. Control!
Jealous!
Hi, Ranjit. How are you? Whats happening?
l am fine. So whats happening on your side, honey?
Nothing. lts Saturday night today.
Arent you partying with beautiful girls?
By the way, its Sunday morning here.
Anyway, now, l will party after returning to lndia.
When are you coming to lndia?
Soon. Very soon.
Honey, l am dying to see you.
You are being impatient. Learn to be a little patient.
After twenty one years, l have got something for free.
You are a joker.
Do you know? l got so many chances to watch famous plays.
Then? What else?
My girlfriend Aditi, she is not even fond of watching plays.
Look, l dont understand your and Aditis relationship.
l love her.
But when she behaves like my mummy, l cant take it.
l dont care. You are coming to watch this play.
Why dont you take Malini along?
Malini? Are you mad?
The play is at 8 oclock.
As it is, she will be busy watching..
..the new seasons of Sex And The City.
Your Malini too is a sample.
Dude, come on.
Bharat.
Dr. Vandana.
Hi! Long time no see! Where have you been?
l am here. lts so good to see you.
Same here. How come you are here?
l came to watch a play.
The lead actor is my friend. l mean my patient.
l love watching plays. Great.
How is mama?
Mama is fine. She misses you a lot.
Me too. But what to do? Life has become so hectic.
Patients are increasing each passing day.
l swear! By the way, he is my friend Kartik.
Kartik, she is Dr. Vandana.
Hi. Hi.
Come to meet me someday.
ln the hospital? No way.
You know how petrified l am of hospitals.
You used to be scared of injections.
Are you still scared of it? Then what!
lf you said it a few times more, l might faint.
You have not changed at all.
The play is about to start. Yes.
Okay. You guys enjoy. Bye. Bye. See you. See you.
l can do anything for Simran.
She is my gal. Understood?
l say lets have a body building competition.
l have massaged my body with olive oil.
But what can you do for me?
Darling, you can take my personal knife. Knife.
l will take you to VLCC.
l will treat you with coconut water.
Fruit juice. Fruit juice. Apple juice.
Hey, you. Whats going on?
She will watch a movie with me.
Movie? l can do anything for Simran.
Whats going on between you both?
l will take you to Switzerland too.
l got strayed seeing him. But l will surely come with you.
l can do anything for Simran.
She is my girl. Understood?
l say lets have a body building competition.
Wow!
Come on. lts so late. l might miss my play.
lts great! Hey! Hey!
After you, sir. No. After you.
No. First you.
Whats your problem? Why dont you go up?
Whats your problem? Why dont you go down?
You are imitating me!
Relax, Uncle. Dont get angry. Relax.
Who are you guys? How did you both come here?
Didnt the security stop you? Security! Security!
Why are you calling the security, Uncle?
He wont throw us out.
Why? Are you the soninlaw of the security?
That he wont throw you out.
Not soninlaw, this play is ours.
What?
Kartik, are you mad? What is he saying?
The play is yours?
What are you saying?
Congratulations! Congratulations!
Great! Great! lts a great play!
l was fed up of watching TV serials everyday.
lt was fun.
Sir, you had to have fun. We dont hold any ordinary plays.
As it is, a famous writer has written this famous play.
Who is the writer?
Mr. Bharat.
What are you saying? Shakespeare.
You must have heard his great grandfather..
..William Shakespeares name.
Yes.
And famous writer Mirza Galib. Yes.
He has been raised by him. Wow! He wants to outshine them.
Wow! How did l not see such a famous writer?
No, sir. lts your greatness that you think l am good.
Do one thing. Keep my card.
Give me your card too.
l understood. l will take it from your secretary.
Give me his card.
Sir, all the cards have been distributed.
The audiences demanded so many cards that it got over.
Okay. Do one thing. Take down my number.
Okay. Give me. Bharat. Bharat.
Writer, where are you?
Where are you?
Guess what!
What?
You wont believe it, man!
You have lost your virginity?
Come on. You know l am not a virgin. Yes.
Forget that. See this.
What is this? A cheque of Rs.30000. We did it.
Rs.30000.
Dude, did you start dealing?
Dude, are you mad?
The uncle whom we met that night has given it to us.
Uncle? What uncle?
l see. That uncle.
Yes, the uncle whom we met that night.
He wants us to organise a play for him.
Are you mad, Kartik? How can we organise a play?
Are you fine?
Dude, l am serious.
He called me up today in the morning.
My boss is very happy with you.
He wants to do a play with you.
Wow, sir! Wow!
You see, l too will have to ask my boss.
Fine. Greetings, sir.
Ask your boss. Do one thing. Come and meet him.
Your cheque too is ready.
We wont do any play. lts not so easy.
Do you even know the nuances of theatre..
..that you accepted the cheque?
But.. You need a script.
You need actors. lts not so easy.
Script! Script! There are so many scripts!
l know you have scripts.
And l thought it will be fun if we do this.
Look, that poor man must be thinking..
..that we are an established theatre group.
Mirza Galib! Shakespeare!
lts a lie. lts a joke.
Come on, dude.
We were waiting for this opportunity since long.
l am not saying to do it full time. We will do it part time.
We will have so much fun. You know.
And l know you can write better than the previous play.
We can do it.
Exactly. What if he finds out?
What? He wont know that we didnt organise the previous play. Yes.
Yes.
Come on. He will go mad when he watches our play, dude.
You know.
Once you write the script and act in it..
..then you will outshine anybody.
l know it.
lf l did it..then who will attend college?
And who will give exams?
Why are you mixing exams, college and play? You..
Look, first we will organise the play. Then we will give exams.
We will manage the exams too.
Right. We will manage it.
But we both cant organise this play by ourselves.
You have brought this cheque.
But a play is not organised just with money. Come on.
You need actors too.
No. Dont even think about it. Okay.
Are you mad? l dont know acting.
l am scared.
Listen, guys. l am petrified of stage.
And l have never acted before too.
l just pretend to be sick at times to get a leave from office.
Come on, sweetheart. Actors are born, not made. Yes.
Okay. Okay. Chill.
We will hold an audition too. l see.
l am sure there are many people who want to be actors.
They just need a break.
l have some friends. Yes.
l think l should ask them. Correct.
''Crazy.''
Auto!
Bandra!
Come on. Quickly.
''l am crazy.''
Brother.
Listen, you seem to be Rajnikants fan.
Will you act?
When?
Dont do that. For Gods sake, leave me.
Whenever l remember our first meeting..
..when l saw you for the first time..
l told you. For Gods sake, leave me.
For Gods sake..
Remove your uniform. Become Balwant Rais slave.
You fool!
ls it fine, Bharat?
Yes. Softly. Softly.
Hey!
Hey Ria, a common man suffers a lot.
What? You dont like me? l truly loved you.
A common man thinks from this brain, but l think from my heart.
What? You dont like me?
Ria, l love you.
Excuse me. Yes.
Are the auditions going on here?
Have you come for the audition?
Yes, of course.
Have you taken any formal training?
Yes, during school days, l acted in Cinderellas play.
Okay. l understood. She is beautiful.
Shut up.
Give me the scene. Here.
Change the scene.
l am bored of hearing the same lines since morning.
The actors have made me go crazy.
Okay. You do this one. Yes. Cool.
Thanks.
But there are only two lines.
Yes. l know. l will read the boys lines.
You read Rias lines. Okay.
You can rehearse. Come on. Lets go.
Dont you feel you are behaving very weirdly for the past few days?
Ask yourself and you will get to know yourself.
lts been a week. You didnt talk to them.
But Karan, l just wanted to make sure of myself..
..before l take the next step.
Are you sure you want to do this for me?
Of course. Why do you doubt it?
l do not doubt you. l am just afraid.
l just dont get it.
l met Rahul the day before yesterday.
He was telling me something about some music deal.
You know, Karan. Enough.
l know now that youve more trust in Rahul than in me.
Youve just no faith left in this relationship.
Fantastic, man!
lt was superb.
l know..it was superb. What say?
l say youre in.
Thats cool. lve seen intensity in acting after a long time.
Thank you so much.
l think you should do Rias role.
Yes, we all agree.
Do you all agree with that? Thank you so much. lts great to hear that.
Hi, guys. Hello.
Bharat, can we talk? Yes.
Why didnt you tell me you are doing a play?
You forgot l am still your girlfriend, okay.
Please, dont get angry.
Everything happened so quickly that l didnt get the time.
l really thought you were busy.
l was busy. You know, l always have time for you, Bharat.
Lets not get into that now.
No, you listen to me.
Why do you always get into such stuff..
..when we have decided that we dont have to do all this?
We have decided? We didnt decide any such thing.
You must have decided.
And l might just have a different way of thinking.
Bharat, what do you think? l dont wish well about you?
No, darling. l know you wish well about me.
But..even you have to understand. Come on.
You know what?
You know what the problem is, Bharat?
The problem is..you know l love you way too much.
And thats why you take things for granted.
Why do you divert your mind again and again..
..because of this play?
Again your plight will be the same one week before exams.
l know what you are saying. l understand everything.
But even you need to understand..
..that l want to do it just for a few days.
Fine. Do your theatre. Do your drama.
You know thats going to take you away from me.
l just dont know what to say.
Anyway, whats the scene?
l have to go home and work on the presentation.
So, l am going to be busy with that.
When youre free, will you call me?
l dont know. Give me a missed call whenever you are free.
Okay. Bye! Bye!
Love you.
Bye.
There had to be a power failure now itself.
Electricity and girls..both are not trustworthy.
Oh, God, hes started again.
My girl has made me a dog. You deserve it.
Quiet. Dont talk too much.
lf she hears it, she will kill me.
You guys are so disgusting. Just like these mosquitoes.
And you people are so virtuous.
Shut up! Okay!
Hey, dear. When will the electricity come?
What about permission?
The work is going on.
The main thing is that we need a guy to look after lights.
But we dont have anyone.
We cant take their audition too. Whose audition?
Lightmans.
Hey! l know one lightman. He lives in my locality.
He does lighting for weddings. Shall l talk to him?
Yes. Go ahead. Okay.
Come on, guys.
Will we have to get the lighting done from a tenthouse lightman?
Oh, God.. Kartik, we have to choose light designs and colours.
We just need a guy to handle everything.
He should know when to switch it off..
..and when to switch it on.
Exactly.
Bharat! Kartik! Malini! Look, who is here!
The best lightman in the world! Mr. lrshad.
Hi! Hi!
Hello! Hello! Hello!
l have explained everything to him.
Theres no need to worry. Okay?
l think l have seen you somewhere.
Yes. You must have. You must have.
l handle all the lighting work in this area. l do it.
No. l have seen you somewhere else.
Where?
Do you do anything else?
No. l dont do anything else.
He doesnt mean that.
He means to say if you have ever done lighting for theatres?
No. But once l get the hang of it, then l will do the best job.
Correct! Correct! Correct!
Every year on Diwali he does the lighting of our office.
And he is the best! He is too good! He is the best! l am telling you!
l have seen you on the backstreet.
You dont look like a lightman.
How can you say that l dont look like a lightman?
Have you gone crazy?
Sorry. lf you tell me to work with such people..
..then there will be a grave problem.
No, no, no. lrshad. There will be a grave problem. Come with me.
ls he from the underworld?
We wont work with him. Forget it.
Are you mad? He seems to be a nice lightman.
And you are not keeping him.
Did you see his face? He looks like a thief.
Calm down, lrshad. You got infuriated.
lf l dont get angry, then what else will l do?
He is a weird man. He talks rubbish.
He looks like a fraud.
He is not a fraud. He is my friend.
Listen to me. Are you interested?
No interest. l will take money for my work.
You wont find Thomas Edison for the lighting.
He will take the money and flee. How do we trust him?
You should treat our boys daily.
lt will be done. You just do your work properly. Please.
lf you say, then fine. Say sorry to him. Come on.
You dont worry. Sorry? Say sorry.
lrshad, sorry. l made a mistake.
lts okay. Cool. When do l start the work?
On one hand our country is progressing.
lf we are still quiet.. Hurry up. We are getting late.
To hell with our..
We will surely do revolution. Please, try to understand.
Yes, this is right. Take this. Why are you seeing the script?
Hail revolution!
Bharat, what is our groups name?
Yes! Yes!
Yes!
l didnt think of a name.
Groups name.
Too good. Too good.
No.
Shatranj Ke Khiladi.
ls this a name?
Joined culture.
No, lll tell you. Theatre players.
Name..
What could be the name?
Have your Pani Puri (snacks). Pani Puri.
No.
The name.
440 volt company. 440 volt company.
440? l have only 420. Do you want it?
Give me a betel leaf.
Name..
My bus! Halt!
Aapka Guroor.
We cant even think of a nice name.
What to do?
The name wont drop from the sky (Aasma).
l swear.
What did you say?
Why are you getting so serious? l was just joking.
We will think of something. Come on.
Say it again. What did you say?
The name wont drop from the sky.
He is right. Aasma.
Aasma. Aasma.
Yes. Aasma.
Aasma.
Yes. Aasma.
Yes. The sky is the limit.
Life goes on, pauses and comes to a standstill.
Life says, hears and explains to you.
Life goes on, pauses and comes to a standstill.
Life says, hears and explains to you.
Each moment.
Every moment, it says.
''Come on, wake up!''
Touch the sky.
We pave our own path, wherever we go.
Every joy falls at our feet.
We pave our own path, wherever we go.
Every joy falls at our feet.
We are weaving new dreams.
New dawn, new twilight, new colours.
''We have to build our castle on the tides.''
''Come along with me.''
Touch the sky.
We will cross unknown paths.
We will give birth to new hope.
We will cross unknown paths.
We will give birth to new hope.
This obsession and zest should never wane.
''Dont give up anytime.''
''Our craziness is different from the world. Come along with me.''
Touch the sky.
Perfect!
ls everything ready?
Kartik, is everything ready? Yes, dude. l hope so.
lrshad, do you remember the on and off switches of the lights?
Brother Bharat, everything is in order.
l am telling you, start right away.
Relax. Okay. Relax. This is it.
The hall is full. Yes!
Yes!
This is our chance. Our time has come.
Lets make this happen. Done. Yes.
We will put our blood and sweat in it.
Definitely.
Lets rock.
For Aasma. Yes!
On one hand, our country is prospering.
On the other hand, poor people are dying.
Yesterday, Shyamlal died. Today, Ramlal died.
lf we still keep quiet then shame on our courage and freedom.
We will have to raise our voices.
There will be a revolution. Repeat it after me.
Revolution! Hail to it!
Aasmas first play..wow.
To tell you the truth, its really scary behind the curtain.
l still remember how much we laughed..
..before the play actually started.
l never imagined that so many people..
..would come to watch our play.
And they will like it so much.
We danced with delight the whole night.
We drank so much that we didnt realise..
..where and when we dozed off.
Guys!
Oh, God, these guys are sleeping.
Guys, wake up! Get up! Wake up!
Guys, guess what? You wont believe it!
l cant see anything.
Get up! Dont know whats wrong with her early in the morning.
How did you come inside? That too without knocking.
Shut up. You are sleeping in my house.
Wake up and see this.
Whats this? We are talk of the town.
We are famous! We are famous! We are famous!
Oh, God! l cant believe this!
That too only in one show.
lt means we must have done something.
Nothing much, guys! Weve created a commotion.
Shut up! You always harp the same thing!
How cheap and sick!
Seriously, if we can win in one play, we should be doing more plays.
Listen, l totally agree. l think we should have many shows.
Exactly. And the earning is also good. How cool is that!
But do we have a future in it?
Already you are thinking about the future. Dont worry.
Lets do whatever we can. Exactly. Then what!
We even dont know whether we..
Hi, guys. This is Ranjit.
Hi, Ranjit. Hi.
Thats Dia. Hi.
Bharat. Malini and Kartik. Hi. Hi.
How do you feel coming back to lndia?
Well, great. l mean amazing, man.
Did you watch our play? Yes, of course.
Did you like it?
Well, frankly, the concept was nice.
But the treatment could have been better.
What do you mean?
Well, l will be very frank.
See guys.. Okay.
l am not saying it to demoralise you all.
But yes, l have done my MBA abroad.
And somehow, l understand the market.
lf you want to take it as a profession..
..then you will have to be more professional.
That is fine. This was just our first play.
Exactly. You cant say this the second time.
You will have to make your performance more mature.
You have to get more organised.
So you think we are immature?
Frankly, a bit, performance wise.
But dont feel offended.
Why dont you be our advisor?
Okay. Thats a great idea! Why dont you join us?
Well, l dont mind.
As it is, my dad is going out of town for two to three months.
l dont have any work.
Under this pretext, l will get to see the city with you all. Cool!
Bharat, do something about the money for children.
You and your children. Where do l bring cash from?
Organisers pay money on the last day.
l say lets run away with the money.
We wont organise any play. lt will teach them a lesson.
lrshad, if he creates a problem giving money..
..then we both will have to sit at home.
Whats going on? Sir, nothing much.
l hope you wont have tea. Tea?
You dont want it, dont you?
No, we just want to see tickets and posters. Tickets, poster.
Very, very important! Yes.
Sell it to everybody. Boyfriend, girlfriend, all friends.
Fine. l understood.
Who is he? lrshad.
l understood! l understood! To sell ticket in black.
Very good! He looks like that.
Hey, are you mad? Relax.
lf you make me go mad, l will teach you a lesson.
Look, l love you a lot.
But you will have to talk to my papa.
Your papa is a bore.
You dont like my papa.
Whats going on? Girl and boy are romancing.
Sir! Sir! Sir, she is my sister.
You have brought your sister to the park.
Sir, she was sad. So, l brought her here to cheer her up.
Brother, youre cheering her up, cheer us too.
Come to the police station!
Sir! Sir, try to understand! Sir, try to understand!
Sir, lets end this matter here. What?
Sir, l am giving you. What?
Give it to me. l dont want debit card.
Sir, l am giving you cash.
Hard cash. Come on, give it to me.
Sir, dont go there. We will settle it here only. Leave it.
Leave it. Come on.
Sir!
Sir, will you take all of it?
Sir, it is my pocket money. Now onward..
Fine, sir. Fine.
Aasma! Aasma! Aasma!
What is this Aasma?
You come for money repeatedly.
Nothing, sir. lts a theatre group.
l know its a theatre group.
l invest my money. lts not a joke.
Good morning, sir.
Why only this theatre group? Why not some other?
Sir, the theatre group..
How many plays have they staged with my money?
Sir, around fourteen to fifteen.
ls that so? See the newspaper.
Aasma is everywhere. Do you see my name anywhere?
This is not possible, sir. l check all their posters myself.
Do you think l am a fool?
Shouldnt the investors name be printed?
Sir, your name should be printed everywhere.
Where is my name? Show me. Show me.
lt must be here, sir. Let me see. lt has to be somewhere. Let me see.
Leave it.
This group.. Aasma.
l know it. Oh, no.
When is their next play?
Sir, their next play is on 7th. Will you watch it?
Shut up.
They wont listen like this.
l think l will have to show them their place.
l will ruin Aasma.
What is this? A cheque.
Talk clearly. How did it bounce?
What do l know?
lf you dont know then who knows?
You all always harp about Aasma.
So take it from the sky.
Listen, man. Dont waste our time.
Clearly answer our question.
Look, my boss says that in the poster..
..the font of Aasmas name is larger than his name.
He doesnt like that. Thats it.
The name will be famous.
Do people come to see our play or your bosss play?
Great! We invest our money! And only your name is printed!
This is not done.
Just stop your nonsense, man. Lets go and talk to your boss.
Boss is not there. What?
l mean boss is there. But he is busy.
Come after sometime.
lt wont work like this. You are getting tensed unnecessary.
What did she say? She is right.
ls that so? We sponsored you a little and now youre showing attitude.
What do you mean? He owes us an answer. Okay.
What did she say again?
Forget it. These people are useless.
Yes. We are useless. Go away.
You guys are acting too smugly nowadays.
What are you trying to say?
Dont raise your voice.
Otherwise, what will you do? What will you do?
Listen! Listen! Relax!
Relax.. Theres no one here. Leave.
And you stay within your limits! Okay.
Stupid.
Even this girl is speaking now.
Whats it? Did you cheque bounce too?
Come on. Do your work.
Now, what do we do?
We have to think how to meet the other payments.
The amount is so high. l mean 14,000 and 15,000.
Where do we bring so much money from?
There has to be something in Aasmas account.
Exactly.
Aasmas account has Rs.7000.
First, lll pay the people of the set. The remaining to lrshad.
Lousy person!
He was showing so much of attitude. Relax, Bharat.
We will do something. Okay.
Look at this.
NPAA.
lts poster too was put up.
Yes. Something interesting was written on the poster.
Something like, the winning team gets a big amount of prize.
lts like a performing arts competition, l think.
Yes. Why dont you check out the brochure?
Have a look. Does it have a website?
Yes. Lets check it on the net.
Hey, look here. Here. Click here?
Here. NPAA means National Performing Arts Association.
lt organises a competitions for theatre groups..
..who are new and wish to make..
..a name for themselves in the industry.
We qualify if weve done 20 plays in that working year.
Right. Yes.
Hey, just click on that. Here?
No, over here. Yes.
Wow! This says that whoever wins the competition..
..will get a sponsorship and publicity..
..from NPAA for the next two years.
And, a grand launch at an international theatre festival!
Wow, guys! Finally..
Finally, weve got some hope. Yes. Exactly.
But dude, weve done only 15 plays.
So what? We will do another fourfive plays.
But we need money to do plays.
And as of now, we should clear our pending amounts first.
You think Aasma is a joke?
Our group is solid. Solid. Yes.
lts famous in Mumbai. Very famous. l agree.
Anyone will agree to sponsor us.
What are you thinking about, Bharat?
What say?
lm wondering what the use of going to some other sponsor is.
He too is one day going to do the same thing.
l suggest that we should try running Aasma on our own.
Lets run it with our own money.
Youre saying as if its a childs play.
Where will we get so much money from?
Ranjit. Just once..just for once let us all bring in money.
And, do a play with our money.
And the second one from the money we get from the ticket sales.
And thats exactly how we will form a chain.
Sounds cool! Yes.
We wont even have to listen to these old sponsors.
l think its a great idea. l dont think so.
lm not sure about it, man.
Ranjit! Lets try for the next 2025 days..
..and arrange for some cash.
And say, lets meet around the 10th of next month..
..and see how much money weve collected.
Yes. lf weve collected enough money..
..then we can start on our own. Exactly.
Yes. Otherwise, we can always go back the sponsors.
No. Not to the same sponsors again.
Dude, problem. Scripts, man. Scripts.
We are out of scripts.
We had 15 scripts and weve done 15 plays.
And you cant even repeat plays. lts a rule.
So what? l will write another five plays.
lt will take three months.
And what all will you do? Yes, Bharat.
Guys, l have got an idea. Can l say something?
Now whats wrong with you, lrshad?
Theres a guy. Hes a little crazy. Hes old. God.
He used to write amazing scripts when he was young.
Simply amazing.
l swear.. lrshad.
Sorry. Sorry. He writes amazing scripts. Simply amazing.
l think we should go and meet him.
lt will be great. But who is he? Who..
Rashid. Has God sent for me?
Who is it? Hello, Rashid.
Hello. Hello.
Staring in the morning itself?
l started from my childhood itself.
l was talking about liquor. Okay.
Come in. Come in. Come inside first.
Come inside. Come inside.
ls he the man? Hes Rashid. Hes a little different.
Everyone, please come inside. Sit. Please have a seat.
Bharat, sit. l dont have any sofas here.
Sit on the broken chairs that l have.
l dont even have mineral water to offer.
l wouldnt mind what you are having. He..
Stop it. Hey!
Behave yourself. lrshad. Go and get water for everyone.
Does anyone want water? No. No. No. No thanks. No thanks.
Anyway these days everyone drink less water.
But isnt drinking alcohol a bad habit? Yes, its bad.
But these days its not the man drinking the liquor..
..its the other way around.
Forget about me and tell me about yourself.
What do you guys do?
Sir, weve a theatre group. Aasma.
We work in it and..l write the scripts.
Tell me, what do you gain by writing these stories?
l like it. To write them, to perform them. Yes.
lnitially Rashid too used to write stories.
What is it called? Skits. Forget it. That was a long time ago.
When l was of your age, l was passionate about writing.
Now everything..
But why are you saying that?
l was once standing at the place..
..where you are standing right now.
Just a step away from success.
But when l opened my eyes l realised..
..that l have come into a world where no one..
..can bear someone elses success.
People step on each other to go forward.
My hard work and dedication had all gone waste.
Thats it. Thats when l decided that l wont tread the path..
..where violence, hatred and flattery is worshiped and not art.
You are right.
But if even we accept defeat then we are letting the wrong win.
You can say that. You are young.
You are not burdened with old age.
But have you ever thought about the future?
Why do you think like that, Rashid?
Future. Future. Future.
lf you look at it from my point of view even once..
..youll know that future is just a word.
We live for our present and..
..it should mean everything to us and not the future.
What difference does it make now?
lve already spent half my life.
And what if l tell you that you are getting..
..a new lease of life from today?
Truly. You remind me of myself.
So, you want a story? No. Much more than that.
Yes. l want to return your lost passion.
And perhaps, even l wish to live my youth again through you.
Come on, lets begin a new life.
Lets live this moment.
lt was a moment l felt like living all over again.
Who knows where the next moment will lead us.
Who knows..
..what stories..
..are in store for us.
Wait a while.
Dont slip.
Lets live this moment.
Why are you getting so restless?
Why worry?
Lets live this moment.
lt feels good.
Doesnt matter if its a dream. l dont care.
But l am a fool.
l dont even know.
l have just one life to live.
lve broken so many hearts.
But listen, dear.
Everything works here.
Wait a while.
Dont slip.
Lets live this moment.
Why are you getting so restless?
Why worry?
Lets live this moment.
From here to the other world.
From the ground to the sky.
We look for our destination.
lf we wont find it, we shall be born again.
Lets live this moment.
Wait a while.
Dont slip.
Lets live this moment.
Why are you getting so restless?
Why worry?
Lets live this moment.
Wait a while.
So, how was your day? Quite good.
You tell me. l am very tired.
Should l make something? No. l am quite peaceful at this.
Bharat, you know my boss has given me an ultimatum.
lve to finish my layouts by tonight.
You have become very busy, havent you?
Not more than you.
Hows yours.. forget it.
lts okay. You can ask me.
Hows your Aasma? Fantastic.
The previous play of ours got a great response.
Yes, l know. l was there.
What! Whats there to get so excited about it?
Anyway, l didnt like it much, so, l walked out.
You didnt like it? Dits, you shouldve watched the entire play.
We slog so hard and you.. Come on, Bharat.
You know l dont like this theatre business.
l cant just see it. lt just caught on my nerves.
You and your theatre family.
And the way that girl was touching you..
So it was that bad? l just dont understand you..
Why are you feeling so offended?
And anyway, why are we arguing about it?
Thats because you dont understand me, Dits.
Hello, l dont understand you?
Bharat, l understand you more than you understand yourself.
How many times have l told you this country..
..doesnt hold any future for performing arts.
lts a very tough field, baby.
You too are in the fashion industry.
Just because you have a fixed income and an office..
..you have became superior, right?
At least, l dont have to go through the struggle in like theatre.
l at least dont fear having a flop show.
Just..just forget it.
Can we change the topic? Okay, fine.
So hows your best friend Kartik?
Hes fine. Hes still in Nagpada.
He..wanted to have some kebabs.
Nagpada? What is he doing there?
lts such a shady place.
We all had gone there. We had to meet a writer.
All? What?
When l asked you out for a cup of coffee..
..you said you have some important work.
l mean.. l dont believe it.
Bharat, whats wrong with you?
l cant imagine you have changed so much.
Listen, l havent changed. lts enough!
l think you dont like the way l am, okay?
Thats why you are having a problem accepting me.
What do you mean?
Bharat, you have got to set your priorities right.
Am l your priority or your theatre?
l just dont understand what you are getting into, Dits.
No. Once and for all, please.
lm fed up of our daily fights.
lts really not taking us anywhere.
We need to take a stand, okay? Right now!
We want this relation or not. Period.
Dits. You know what. Right now..
..you are behaving like that typical snob..
..who just knows how to be difficult.
Just leave me alone, Bharat.
Please, just go away. Okay.
lf thats what you want, fine then.
Look, l know what happened has completely shattered your group.
lve an offer for you.
lf you say the story straightforward its no fun. lt.. Hi, Rashid.
Hi, Bharat. Hi, Ranjit.
Bharat, l need to talk to you. Tell me.
No. Not here. ln private.
But Rashid is not a stranger to us.
You can say anything. Yes, but..
No if there is a problem, lll leave.
We will later.. Rashid, you just came.
Please sit, l will be back in two minutes.
Just two minutes. Come.
What happened?
Bharat, l think we should patch up with the sponsors, man.
What? Yes.
Whats wrong with you?
lts no use working under anyone.
lm really sick and tired of this, man.
Excuse me, man. Who are you to decide for everyone?
Just a second, Ranjit. lm not deciding it for everyone.
Everyone had made this decision together.
And, yes, you too were there.
And Ranjit, for a change, be a little optimistic.
Everyone is trying to collect money.
Everyones trying.
Whos trying to collect money, man?
God knows! Dude, l going to VT.
You sit in the car. l will drop you. Okay.
Bharat, we need to seriously think about this.
Dont you think Bharat sometimes behaves very selfishly?
What? Bharat and selfish?
Yes, dude.
l think we are just being used.
He wants to be an actor and.. What are we?
We dont have an identity. lts not like that.
l know. He is surely a little hyper, but not bad.
Hes really clean by heart. Yes. Yes.
Look, l know he is your best friend.
But for a minute. Just..just be practical.
But what has happened to you all of a sudden?
See..you guys are college guys.
So much money..
Here. lts his call. Answer it. Talk to him.
Hello.
What!
Okay, lets go fast. l know.
l hope everythings okay. They should have..
l hope hes not serious. Yes. lCU.
Hey guys. Bharat. What happened, man?
Everything okay?
We were travelling by a rickshaw.
We had a headon collision with the city bus.
The rickshaw driver died on the spot. What?
We somehow managed to get him here.
These bus drivers are nuisance l say.
Forget it. By the way, whats his condition now?
l dont know. The doctor hasnt said anything.
Hes in lCU.
Todays day was really bad.
l had a stupid argument with Ranjit in the morning.
Weve just two days to collect the money.
Had that tension all day long.
And then in the evening, Rashid had an accident.
Anyway, life is all about good and bad days.
But one thing is for sure. l hate visiting the hospital.
Hello. What? O negative?
No, my blood group is B positive and Malinis too.
Just a minute. Just a minute, let me ask Bharat.
Bharat, whats your blood group? See you cry..
Blood group? Why?
Dude, isnt your blood group O negative? Yes.
Come on, rush to the emergency ward.
Rashid needs blood.
Have you gone crazy? Ask doctor to take it from the blood bank.
Dude, how can you say that?
Whats your problem when the blood group matches?
l have a problem.
You know l cant bear the sight of blood.
You forgot last years accident?
l fainted seeing my own blood.
Dont be mad. Nothings going to happen.
Dia, those injections.. Come on, l will come with you.
No, no, no, no. Come on, take him.
Come on. Take him. Take him.
Will you stop acting like a baby now?
No, no, no, no.
lsnt there any other way?
Nurse, take 8ml blood out of his body. Please. Please. Please.
Okay. Just stop getting so scared.
Look at me. You dont need to look there. Okay?
Doctor. Doctor, cant you do it without the syringe?
lt will be done in no time. Why are you so jumpy?
Please make him understand. Oh, God. What do l make him understand?
Hey. Please. Please. Please.
Here. Done. Done?
Have a look. Saw? You didnt even realise it.
Sent it for tests immediately. l dont believe it.
Why didnt it pain me?
Heres your blood. Blood!
Bharat..
Hello. Where are you?
Kanchanjunga market.
Okay, do me a favour.. Mr. Bharat?
Yes? Doctor has called you.
Doctor? Just hold on. Just hold on.
ls Rashid all right?
Bharat, you will need a lot of courage..
..to hear what l have got to say.
Forget it, man.
Everything is quite clear now. What do you mean?
Come on, man. The truth is before everyone.
lts just like we are like fools not being able to see that.
Tenth. We were supposed to meet on tenth.
We all had to gather money and be here.
We all are here, Dia even called and informed..
..but he didnt even inform!
Aasma is not about one guy!
Aasma belongs to all of us!
But we all are ignoring the fact that he is using us.
Bharat is not using us, Ranjit. For Gods sake.
Yes. Why?
You know why l think like this?
We had spoken to the sponsors about the money.
We could have sat and talked.
But no, Bharat decided it would be nice..
..to sponsor our own group with our own money.
What a noble idea. Where is he?
He must be stuck with some problem.
He was very upset that day.
Then he shouldnt have committed us!
He could have at least informed..
But l called you. l had informed you about it too.
Forget it, man.
l and Kartik are going to talk to the sponsors about the money.
And l hope, no one has a problem with that. Ranjit.
Come on, Kartik. What?
What is wrong with him? Oh, great!
Bharat. God. Where were you?
Where were you, dude?
Yes Bharat, we are fed up of calling you.
But we dont have any news about you.
What is this? l am very sorry.
Actually, l got stuck with something.
This is highly irresponsible, Bharat.
We all were waiting for you here.
Relax, Ranjit. Ranjit.
There have been times l have been waiting for others all day long.
But nobody used to turn up.
We would at least call and inform.
You knew that we had to pool in our money today.
And now we are too late.
Well.. l will arrange for the money in a day or two.
Great. l cant trust you, Bharat.
Let anyone think whatever he wants.
Ranjit, l mean.. Aasma cannot be professional like this.
Whats wrong?
Whats wrong with him? l dont know.
Look guys, l am not trying to justify anything.
But perhaps, you guys know me a little better than Ranjit.
Of course, Bharat.
l will arrange for the money in a few days.
And..and l am sure we will still make it.
Hi, Dia. How are you? Fine.
You guys continue talking. l will meet you later.
Bharat. Hi, Dia.
Whats wrong?
You have been looking very upset from past few days.
ls everything okay? Yes.
Nothing like that.
l am just a little tensed about Rashid.
Are you sure its nothing else?
You can tell me, you know. Yes. l know.
Look Bharat, l know Aasma is the big dream.
But sometimes in life, things go wrong.
And people who used to happily work together..
..are now all of a sudden falling apart.
And you too have been looking quite low from the past twothree days.
No. Nothing like that.
Let Rashid get well, everything will work out.
l am only tensed about him.
Only about him? Yes. What else should l be tense about?
Life is amazing. lsnt it? Yes.
Look, dont worry.
Everything..everything will become normal after NPAA.
l promise.
You should now go for the rehearsal.
They need you. Fine. Take care.
So its done then.
Henceforth, you will do all your plays with the name l give you.
No Aasma, no other rubbish.
lts not rubbish. Just keep your mouth shut, man.
Okay, sir. We will do that.
We will do all our plays under the name you suggest..
..but what if you are wrong?
lf your group is linked with my name..
..then theres no chance you will lose in NPAA.
lts a promise.
Okay?
Here.
You guys already spoke to the sponsors?
But how can you finalise things like that?
Then what should we finalise, Dia?
We all know that collecting money..
..and doing the play is not that easy.
Ranjit, lm not saying that you are wrong.
All l am saying is that we should get together..
..and tell Bharat about this.
After all, Aasma was after all originally his idea.
Look, there is no such thing called Aasma now.
Now, we all we do the show in that sponsors name.
All of us.
And for the time being, this is the best thing for the group.
Hes right, guys.
We cant back out from the stage we are at today.
And perhaps, this was our destiny.
Now lets just forget about all this. Lets go.
Bye. See you at the rehearsal tomorrow.
Simmi. Yes?
l know its tough. Even l am stuck in the same situation.
But there is something which l want tell you from so long..
..and its really eating me alive right now.
l think l really need to get it out of my system.
What is it, Dia?
Dont worry. You can trust me.
The day when we were supposed to meet..
..l was with Bharat.
After getting Bharats bloodtest done..
..l went to the market and called him.
And while we were talking, he put me on hold.
Then he went to the doctors cabin.
Perhaps, he forgot that l was still on hold.
Thats when l heard everything.
Come. Sit.
ls Rashid all right?
Bharat, you will need a lot of courage..
..to hear what lve got to say. Okay?
You..are HlV positive.
l myself was shocked.
l couldnt believe what l had just heard..
..thats why l tried asking him many a times..
..but he always tried to change the topic.
l dont believe this. With Bharat.. God.
My crazy heart looks for you.
Evaluating the gains and losses.
All my desires to live.
Evaluating the gains and losses.
All my desires to live.
Looks like this world and the sky have stood still.
My crazy heart..looks for you.
Naive and innocent heart of mine..
..will never beat again.
lt has lost its senses.
Life has become angry.
Talking to one self and laughing.
Feeling lonely when in crowd.
The tunes are playing out my pain.
My crazy heart..looks for you.
Looks for you. Looks for you.
What a pleasant surprise! Come in. Come in.
How are you? l am fine. And how are you?
Come in, come in.
Good to see you.
Have a seat. So?
Whats going on? Where are you these days?
l am here for the time being.
And hows your theatre group?
What are you doing these days?
What was the name? Aasma, right?
Even you know about it? What do you mean, l know.
l will show you.
So..you guys have become very famous nowadays.
l am very happy.
So, here you are. Aasma. l am very happy.
Whats wrong, Bharat?
Are you okay?
Dr. Vandana, theres..something..
..but l dont know how to tell you about it.
Tell me. What is it?
There is a writer in my group.
He had an accident a few days ago.
He needed blood urgently and..
l dont understand what to do. Have patience.
Water. Thanks.
Look, Bharat, get this thing straight.
HlV positive people can lead normal lives.
They just need to take a few precautions.
lts very simple.
Nothing to be worried about. Okay?
And you are so young.
Doctor, l dont understand how l contracted it.
There can be many reasons behind.
Because of fluid exchange..
..because of sharing a needle or a syringe..
..and of course because of sexual transmission too.
Have you ever..
Do you have any girlfriend?
l had. Aditi.
Did you both.. Yes.
But Doctor, we..we always used protection.
Did you speak to her about this?
Doctor, l..l have been trying to call her since many days.
But she has just been ignoring me..
..from the time we had a breakup.
Look Bharat, this is a very serious issue. Okay?
l think you should talk to her about this.
Yes. What is it?
Thank God you answered my call.
Where are you? At home.
Anyway, you tell me what work do you have with me?
And why is there so much of noise in the background?
l am in a rickshaw.
Then quickly tell me, what it is. l cant hear a thing.
Aditi, l..
Speak loudly Bharat, l..l cant hear you. Hello!
Aditi, l am HlV positive.
What?
l am HlV positive. HlV positive.
Bharat, what the hell are you saying!
l can get AlDS.
What did you say? You have AlDS?
Come on, come on, get down. Get down!
Look, its not..
Hell die and get me killed as well. Mister..
This was a time when nothing was going right.
Even Kartik left my flat. My best friend.
Weve been friends for nine years.
l knew my relationship with Aditi would end one day.
But l had never thought that it would end in this way.
l got to know that she too went for a test..
..but thank God, the test results were negative.
The families and friends of the cancer patients..
..support them at every step.
But because l am HlV positive..
l am no more the same.
Someone needs to be with him always.
And, keep giving him medication on time.
And keep monitoring him. Okay.
Bharat. How are you feeling? Good.
How is Rashid? Fine. Hes conscious now.
But we have to take care.
l hope he gets well soon.
Wheres everyone else? lnside the room.
Go, meet them.
l will leave now. Okay.
And meet me before you leave. Yes.
Thanks. Bye. Come on.
Bharat, are you fine? Yes.
You look a bit indifferent these days.
lts nothing like that.
Just little worried about Rashid.
Thats all.
Bharat. Hi Sumi.
See you.
Looking nice. Thanks.
l came to meet Rashid.
Did l ask?
As in? You know something Bharat?
You are not a good friend.
And why..are you saying that? Because you are not.
l have known you for the past three years.
And l always felt, you are the kind of person..
..who can go to any extent for his friends.
And you, Bharat, thats why l depended on you.
l trusted you.
You supported me in every problem.. Are you mocking me?
No l am not.
l am trying to tell you, thats not what friendship is.
lts not just about giving.
lts about give and take.
But our friendship is still incomplete.
Because, now, when you are in need of a friend..
Thats not right, Sumi.
Weve always been really close.
Thats how you have won my trust.
How could you not tell me, Bharat?
Because its not something worth telling.
ls it..some good news?
Oh, God! Has the doctor told everyone about it?
No, Bharat. Everyone will mock me now.
lrshad..and his friends will mock me.
They will think..that even l sleep with call girls.
No, Bharat, please dont lose hope.
You know, l have always known you to be a fighter.
And you know something.
You have always supported me.
So you cannot give up.
Now onward, l will be your strength.
l am with you. Thanks, Sumi.
l really need that.
Anyway, the doctor hasnt told anyone about it.
Only l know about it, and so does Dia.
What?
Bharat, she has known about it since the day you do.
That day when you were talking to the doctor..
..you didnt disconnect Dias call, and she heard everything.
She saw you in anguish and tried to ask you.
But you evaded the topic.
And when things got out of hand..
..she had to come and tell me.
l just dont believe this.
You know, if you want to do anything for her..
..then just go talk to her.
Because shes really worried.
Yes. Thanks, Sumi.
Bharat. Whats wrong, lrshad?
lll never play pranks with you, brother Bharat.
You have done so much for us.
How can we mock you?
lrshad.
Dont worry, lrshad.
Where were you, Dia?
l have been looking all over for you.
l am really sorry if l hurt you.
What are you saying?
Whats wrong with you?
l dont know what to say.
l didnt know..that you already knew whats happened to me.
Bharat.
You tried to ask, but l ignored it. Why?
You taught me to comfort others..
..through their troubled times.
Dia, your focus is something else.
Your purpose of being here is completely different.
Going out of the way, just because l am not fine..
Whats your problem?
Whos going out of the way?
And, if you dont like me asking you anything..
..then tell me and l wont.
Dia, l know you care.
But l want you to invite problems in your life..
..because of me and thats exactly what will happen.
You are absolutely crazy, Bharat.
Which problems?
l am doing all this because l want to do it.
But l guess you just dont realise that.
Or maybe you dont want to.
God! Why dont you understand, Dia?
Why should l?
Just that you are ignoring the facts.
l am concerned about you.
Bharat, l am hating you for this right now.
Fine. Tell me, how long will you support me?
Everything is fine until now.
Me, you, this place.
Everything.
But theres no trusting tomorrow.
Try to believe in me once.
You said it yourself, the sky is the limit.
l dont know why, but Dia was very convincing.
Honestly, we shared some great moments together.
After all, she was the first girl..
..who succeeded in making me eat a vegetarian pizza.
And, of course, l came across a wonderful gentleman.
Dr. Kumar.
Bharat, l cannot do anything without your permission.
But as a doctor, l can tell you..
..you will have to take special care of yourself.
l know, doctor.
l am already consulting a doctor. Good.
Very good.
Bharat, Rashid was mentioning..
..that you perform in theatres.
Thats good to hear.
Dont forget to invite me.
Of course, l will.
All right.
Bharat, these are some medicines.
lts from the medical hospital.
Thats why they are free.
l have arranged for some immunisations.
So, start taking them from today.
Thanks.
l wish every person like me..
..has the support of someone like you.
Best of luck.
Thank you so much, sir.
Come, my boy.
Sit.
How are you feeling now?
Felling better.
And you?
Son, artists can never hide things from the other artist.
lrshad has told me everything.
But, theres no need to feel sad.
The Lord knows what hes doing.
Just forget it, Rashid.
l dont want to feel helpless.
Helpless. Why?
Do you want to forsake all your chances?
What else can l do, Rashid?
lts getting harder for me by the minute.
Just one question.
What is that one thing that l did wrong..
..and now, l feel so suffocated in my own world.
Son, the Lord is our true friend.
He gets to decide whats good and whats bad.
He is testing you.
l know.
l was a complete hasbeen in the theatres.
l didnt see any ray of hope.
Death would evade me everyday.
And days passed like this.
One day, an angel entered my life.
He was completely different.
And he brought back my enthusiasm with him.
He brought back my zest.
He thought me to run again.
Do you know who that angel is?
lts you.
Yes.
Remember what you said?
Tomorrow is just a word.
We only have this day to live.
Just today.
But Rashid.. Son, dont lose courage.
You are the hope for others.
Son, for you the sky is the limit.
l know, Rashid.
l also know that l have very little time left.
But l still dream to touch the sky.
Sky is the limit.
The dawn only brings despair.
l never imagined we will separate in the end.
My lifes coming to..''
''..a standstill.
But l still desire..''
''..to touch the sky.
l will change my destiny.
l am destined to touch the sky.
Sky is the limit.
Here.
l have accumulated all l could.
l brought this from the rehabilitation centre.
This.. Thanks to new treatment..
..people with HlV are leading a longer and healthier life.
But doctor, the question is..
..how did Bharat get HlV positive?
Only Bharat can answer that question.
What do you mean?
l mean, try to remember Bharat.
There are multiple ways to contract AlDS.
Some contract it because of taking drugs.
Because of an infected needle.
l didnt know HlV can spread through infected needles.
Bharat, you are here too.
l mean, how are you? l am fine.
l want to talk to you. Yes.
l wanted to talk to Kartik about this.
But he has been keeping a distance from me.
What happened?
l havent told you this.
Forgive me, but if l had known..
..l would have tried to stop him.
Who? What is it?
Tell me clearly.
Kartik still takes drugs.
And its not a recent addiction.
He has been taking it for a long time now.
l know. But he has stopped now.
He told me everything.
He hasnt. Hes still addicted to it.
But..look, l dont want you to go and fight with him on this.
But why would he hide it from me?
And why are you telling me this?
Lets not get into this.
But, whatever l am doing..
..its for your and Kartiks betterment.
Since when did you start thinking about us?
What do you mean?
Oh, please, we are not playing games here.
You have distanced yourself from us.
l have.
Why should l listen to you? Why?
Because he is HlV positive.
And if you have any humanity left..
You will understand what hes going through.
Bharat. Yes.
Dia. lts true?
Yes. But you feel hes trying to spoil your relation.
Dia, relax. Enough Bharat.
Let me talk now.
You are the selfish ones.
Bharat did so much for him.
And now hes trying to avoid him.
And you know what you are doing.
You are letting this happen.
You are supporting it.
You know what.. l cant deal with this anymore.
l am sorry. Dia..
l am sorry.
And l didnt intend this to happen.
l came here because l still care for the two of you.
Just for the two of you.
What was wrong with you?
l never saw you like this.
l am sorry, l overreacted.
But l had to say it.
lts okay, Dia.
Thats what l have been trying to tell you.
That you are getting unnecessarily troubled for me.
Why dont you understand?
l am not insane.
l know exactly what l am doing.
Dia.. Bharat..
l dont know what you think about me and what you might.
Will you ever tell me about anything?
l dont know whether you still think about Aditi or not.
But l think its high time l say this to you.
l have feelings for you.
Dia, l love you. l love you.
Darling, its been a month since l took it.
Otherwise, l.. Enough is enough!
Just stop it.
The entire world knows about it except for me.
What have l not done to know the truth?
l would have never known if Bharat wouldnt have told me.
Bharat. When did you meet him?
Hes my friend too.
And l need not inform you before meeting him.
Look, he cannot be anyones friend.
Hes doing all this to separate us.
Why dont you understand?
You know, l thought the same way.
l thought Bharat has changed.
But thats not true.
He wasnt wrong. We have changed.
You have changed.
You blindly follow Ranjit..
..because you are not courageous.
Do you know Kartik, hes suffering.
Hes suffering.
So, did you talk to him?
What will l tell him, Rashid?
When l am a hopeless case myself..
..what hope can l give others.
Kartik has also left my flat.
He says..his dad has asked him to stay in the hostel.
One of my college friend told me..
..that he lives with someone else now.
Rashid, when they are keeping their distance.. They are fools.
They are forgetting a simple principle of life.
As you sow, so shall you reap.
Bharat, you will have to change your thinking.
lts been troubling you.
Have faith in your best friend.
And everything will be fine in the end.
Hi, Kartik. Hi.
l am sorry. lts okay.
Whats happening?
l came here to give good news.
But you are all shedding tears.
l came here to say that you can take Rashid home now.
Hes fit and fine.
But take special care of him. Sure, doctor.
Okay.
Okay, Rashid, best of luck. Thank you, doctor. My pleasure.
Thanks a lot, doctor.
A lot can happen in a moment.
l realised all those years of friendship was not a waste.
My friends, they did love me.
l had another reason to face my difficulties.
The only person l ever doubted was Ranjit.
But Sumi was confident that she would convince him.
And thats what happened after a week.
Sometimes, a person takes a wrong step being over confident.
And thats what happened to me.
l am sorry, Bharat.
lt took me a while to understand you.
But now l have realised that Aasma is incomplete without you..
lts okay, Ranjit.
When a person realises his mistake..
..it means, hes treading down the right path.
What matters is that you have realised your mistake.
Thats important.
No one can stop you.
You! Aasma! Lets start all over again.
Yes.
But the sponsor. The contract?
Dont even think about Aasma now.
This theatre now belongs to me.
l knew it.
Lousy businessman.
You cannot think about anything other than money.
So whats wrong in it?
You are all after the same thing.
Excuse me! lts more of a passion for us.
But you wont understand that!
And by the way, heres your contract.
Bharat, we have entered the NPAA! What?
Yes, NPAA. That was the surprise.
We just have to script a mindblowing play.
And then you just watch.
But how did this happen?
The five plays that we performed with the other sponsor..
..have been counted.
And, of course, Ranjits dad helped us.
What say, Bharat? This is an opportunity?
l dont know what to say.
l feel like dancing with joy.
But somethings stopping me.
Thats your fear. Throw it out.
We are all with you. All of us.
Rashid, now, you have to script a mindblowing play..
..that will take everyone by surprise.
We will participate in NPAA.
We will show them what Aasma is.
But this time, Bharat will script the story.
The rising star of Aasma.
What are you saying, Rashid?
l will help you. lll help you.
Go ahead and write.
Pen down your saga of victory.
The lighting will be absolutely stupendous.
Guys, lets rock.
Lets rock. Yes.
For Aasma.
Just do it.
Life moves on, it halts, comes to a standstill.
Life hears us, talks and teaches us.
Life moves on, it halts, comes to a standstill.
Life hears us, talks and teaches us.
Every moment, it says just one thing.
Sky is the limit.
Doctor! Doctor!
Please, admit him quickly.
He has lost a lot of blood.
He met with an accident with my bike.
Please.
Oh, God, is that why l..
What happened?
Dia, that day..
l will go mad.
Bharat. Dia, l am really going mad.
l cannot understand anything. Relax.
Dia, theres a different reason everyday.
l cannot understand anything.
l really dont understand.. Relax.
l am going mad.
l just want to stop thinking.
Everythings going to be just fine.
Relax.
l dont want to give you the wrong picture.
Bharats condition is deteriorating.
Yes, we know, doctor.
Thats why we wanted to consult you.
He has become too depressed.
lt seems strange to say this about Bharat.
But we have to face it.
Oh, come on, doctor. There would be some way out.
And didnt you say he can lead a new life with this problem.
We cant say anything about this disease. Anything can happen.
You have no clue.
What now, doctor?
Bharat is suffering from every passing day.
We have to inform his parents.
Doctor, he is trying.
But he just cant do it.
lt has to be done.
So talk to him.
Otherwise, as a doctor l will have to talk to his parents.
But still doctor, try talking to him.
He always listens to you.
l know its quite difficult.
But you will have to inform your family.
Do you want me to talk to them?
No. l didnt know l was falling sick so soon..
Nothings wrong with you.
Bharat, you are absolutely fine.
But you have to let your parents know about it.
Dad. When did you come?
Just a short while ago.
How is mom?
Mom is fine.
We all are fine.
And, how are you? Fine.
Oh, yes..what about your play?
How did you know about that?
l visited Dr. Vandana, before coming here.
She has told me everything.
The whole city is talking about you.
l am so proud of you my son.
Everyone is praising your acting.
So tell me.
l should have known such a wonderful thing, isnt it?
Dad, l am very sorry.
l couldnt anything for you.
l couldnt top my studies..
..or take my engineering studies seriously.
And now, l am losing time.
Listen.
What you have achieved is difficult for many.
You have devoted each moment to your passion.
Listen to me. You will know the outcome soon.
l had only one dream, dad.
l wanted you and mom to see me act.
But mom.. How will she even face it?
Hey.
Everything will be fine.
Look. l am here. l am with you.
Forget everything.
Prepare for tomorrow.
Whatever the outcome, it will be for the good.
You are my hero.
You are my hero, son. Love you, dad.
Dont cry, Uncle.
You have to be strong.
He considers you as his superhero.
Dont worry uncle, we are with him. Yes.
lts a very big day for him tomorrow.
l know it.
God has been so wonderful..
..because Bharat has friends like all of you.
Thank you.
Thank you all for what you did for him.
Please, pray for Bharat.
Please pray for him.
You are the star that will shine on the horizon.
You are the one that will stand out in the crowd.
You are the star that will shine on the horizon.
You are the one that will stand out in the crowd.
Destiny..''
''Will bow before you.
Smile, be happy.
Dont shed tears.
Take the initial step.
And the world will walk with you.
And the sky will say to you.
The sky..
The sky is the limit!
The sky..
The sky is the limit! The sky..
The sky is the limit!'' Sky.''
What happened that night in the competition?
Did they win or did they lose?
What after NPAA?
What about those lovely relations?
How did Bharat contract AlDS?
Actually, these questions have lost its meaning now.
Because, all we have is our present.
Only the present.
And presently, Aasma is a huge name.
Aasma lnstitute of Performing Arts.
lts known to be a highly acclaimed institute.
Acting, music, dance..and the most important thing..
..they are taught to choose the right path.
Kartik learned to live life.
Sumi and Malini, handle the publicity here.
Sumi. Yes.
Where are the press conference papers?
Yes, all the publicity material is ready.
The press will be arriving any moment.
Come on, we are late.
Ranjit handles the administration of the institute.
And also helps his dad with his business..
..whenever he gets the time. Very nice.
l want all first class tickets for my actors.
Fine. Do it.
Good.
Dia is the acting head here.
She coordinates all the workshops.
And thats lrshad.
The production controller here.
He has changed completely.
When l am taking care of your music..
..you wont have any problems.
What is your problem? Stupid. ldiot.
And Bharat.
Bharat is still here.
ln our hearts. ln our thoughts. ln our decisions.
Everything that we have achieved is his vision.
Love you, Bharat.
He was right.
Rashid, its futile to think about the past.
lts just a word.
We only have our present.
And Bharat is still fighting his battle.
With new hopes in your heart.
Win over everyone.
Journeys are endless.
You will come across new destinations.
Dont ever stop.
Keep walking ahead.
With new hopes in your heart.
Win over everyone.
Nothing is beyond your reach.
You are the king of the world.
l search for the path leading to my destination,
Where theres a will, theres a way.
''Where theres a will theres a way.''
The skys the limit.
Nothing is beyond your reach.
You are the king of the world.
The path leading to my destination.
ls right here.
lts right here.
Overcome all the obstructions in your path.
Keep these memories and moments..
