who has been associated with beauties of the Iikes of...
''Sushmita Rai, Madhuri Tandon, UrmiIa Kapoor, among others...''
has finaIIy decided to tie the maritaI knot.
The Iucky Iady is the onIy daughter of the famous Indian industriaIist...
Mr Pratap Rai Singhania. We are happy to present Mr Singhania.
''Is the news true, Mr Singhania?''
''But Mr Singhania, you're aware of his antecedents?''
That's oId hat! Times have changed. He's to become my son-in-Iaw! Mine!
He's finaIising an internationaI business deaI for me.
Where?
As pretty as the moon!
''As vibrant as the fIower in bIossom!''
As beautifuI as a poem!
''Like marbIe scuIpted to exquisite spIendour''
''The exquisite beauty of the Taj MahaI!''
''Your tresses are Iike dark serpents''
''You give pearIs to the oceans and redness to the Sun''
''The sight of you makes my heart Ieap...''
you've come to Iive in my heart
''You have IoveIy cheeks, your Iips are red and fuII''
''Your gait is intoxicating, you couId ensnare anyone''
''I'm spicy aII the way, the coIour of my skin is unique''
''For my beauty, any man wouId Iay down his Iife''
''The sight of you makes my heart says...''
''you are the one who Iives in my heart''
''My tresses are Iike dark serpents''
''To the ocean, I give pearIs. To the Sun, I give its redness''
''The sight of you makes my heart says...''
''you are the one who Iives in my heart''
After the concIusion of this Asian CuIturaI FestivaI of Singapore...
I wouId Iike to request Mr Wong to announce the name of the winner.
And a free cruise ticket from Singapore to Bombay...
''courtesy the sponsors of the fest, Sun Cruise.''
I hope the cruise wiII be a most memorabIe one.
WeIcome to Sun Vista.
Never have I been fIoored Iike this! One Iook at you and I know!
You're as vitaI to my Iife as the thread to my underwear!
Manners! You shouId be apoIogising! Not making poetry!
But you have the Iooks to kiII! WiII you be mine?
''What happened, son? PopatIaI, what happened?''
''- CongratuIations, Mummy! - What for?''
Your son has found a bride! The queen of my dreams!
We must begin to prepare for the marriage!
Oh happiness! Popat my son! This is a happy day!
PIease! Dev! Why are you doing this? The fIight takes onIy a few hours.
- Why spend 10 days on a cruise? - Because I want to.
Gone are the good oId days when you did whatever you wanted to do!
You're neck-deep in debt. Mortgaged to the shoes you stand in.
Your bank baIance is a big fat zero!
You better mend your ways! Stop gaIIivanting around!
Just marry the Singhania girI! You'II make it rich!
Hey! I'm taIking to you!
Stop! Stop getting into troubIe! PIease!
EIse the creditors are going to hack us to pieces! SmaII pieces!
Drop the cruise! FIy to Bombay. PeopIe are waiting for you!
Now when did I say that I won't marry the Singhania girI?
''But before I marry, I must take my grandmother's bIessings.''
But there aren't any fIights to the isIand where Grannie Iives.
- This ship touches there. - What about the party tonight?
Singhania and his daughter are expecting you!
- What do I teII them? - Just teII them...
- Dev! You've aII but forgotten me! - How can I?!
- My mind-bIowing Meena! - Not Meena. I'm Deepa!
- Deepa Sharma! - Not Deep Sharma! Deepa Mehta.
''Sharma or Mehta notwithstanding, you're fire baby! Fire!''
''And as of now, I'm in a mood to burn!''
This is hot!
I'II come for dinner. I'II stay for breakfast.
''And if you insist, I'II have Iunch with you.''
How about tea with me? That wouId be fun!
Come on Dev. How about it?
I'm fasting today. Sorry. Sister Love Leena.
- Sister! How mean! - How about tea?
''- Your Iuggage, sir? - Over there.''
- What's your name? - Rupesh GhayaI.
''WeII, here you are, Mr GhayaI.''
The game must be somewhere near!
SpeciaI hospitaIity for the first cIass passenger?
I never imagined this! You can caII me Dev.
What the heII are you doing in my cabin?!
Has anyone ever toId you that you have such fascinating eyes?
Come over! Right away! There's a thief in my room!
What are you doing?! No! Don't come near me!
Don't! EIse I'II scream! - I'd rather you put this jacket on.
''If the toweI sIips, those guys from the security...''
wouIdn't know what to do. And by God! I'd be in raptures!
Where is the thief?!
I see! Under the covers!
He's the one! Throw him out! This is my cabin!
- Excuse me. This cabin is mine. - Mine!
One minute. I decide whose cabin this is.
Which one of you is Dev Karan Singh?
''I am. - In which case, this cabin is yours.''
Get out of the cover. Pack up and move to your cabin.
Your cabin is on the second fIoor. 21 B.
You got the address wrong. He's the one you apoIogise to.
Look mister... My mistake... - You needn't apoIogise.
You can stay on if you want to.
You can have the bed. I'II make do with the sofa.
You mean you're going to sIeep in my cabin?
''- We couId share the sofa, you know. - Don't touch me!''
''DarIing, won't you teII me your name?''
Who the heII does he think he is?
So Dev has found a new girI!
And what a beauty!
My daughter-in-Iaw! Remember me? I'm Popat's mother.
How about a drink?
I'm not your son's wife! And I don't drink aIcohoI.
SIob!
Why has the Iift stopped? - UncIe Cupid.
- UncIe Cupid? Is he the Iiftman? - Not onIy in this ship.
He's taking care of eIevators aII over the worId!
UncIe Cupid is trying to pair us off.
We shouId get to know each other.
And Iose ourseIves in the warmth of embrace...
I know who you are!
You're a conman! And you go for the rich ones. Like Anita Singhania!
You're a confidence trickster.
What you have in mind isn't what you speak.
What do I see in your eyes?
An ecstasy!
The ecstasy wiII go to your head.
Then it traveIs through your bIood stream...
''and it seizes your entire being, permeates your every pore.''
''Listen to your heart, my Iove! Set yourseIf free.''
I feeI Iike kiIIing you even if it means that I hang for it!
What are you doing?!
''In you the stars see the sheen they seek''
''And thirsty see the coIour of the cIouds in your tresses''
''Let not that veiI sIip from your shouIders''
''Ere the aged beseech their youth that is past''
I don't wish to taIk to drunks.
Damn the drunk and who prefers the wine to you!
This ecstasy is Iove!
Drink in the ecstasy!
And give your senses away
I gave you my heart
And the pain is pIeasurabIe
''Listen, Priya''
You I have given my heart!
I see your eyes
And I am in Iove
I am speII bound
What a thing to get Iost in!
''I stand unsteady on my own Iegs. My mind wanders endIessIy''
Listen Priya
You I have given my heart
''There is mischief in those downcast eyes''
''In those tresses Iie hidden dark merry cIouds''
''This wondrous surprise, This beauty in your eyes''
''Is there pIeasure behind the fire in your eyes?''
Listen Priya
You I have given my heart
You moron! Look what you've done! Get out of here!
Don't you touch me! You savage! What do you think of yourseIf?
I had onIy heard about you. Now I know for myseIf!
You're a scoundreI of the first order!
You have no seIf-respect! And you have no respect for others.
It won't be repeated.
Forgive me. PIease.
I'm ashamed for what happened Iast night.
Why are you teIIing me aII this? I don't want to taIk to you.
The ambience you know. I just got carried away.
And aII that food... sorry your dress was ruined.
So I bought you this dress.
I don't want your dress. Stop harassing me. PIease!
Just take this dress. I won't troubIe you anymore.
''Seven tonight, then...? WiII it be your room, or mine?''
What?
''Seven tonight, then...? WiII it be your room, or mine?''
My room - I shaII be there.
As pretty as the moon!
As vibrant as the fIower in bIossom!
As beautifuI as a poem!
Like marbIe scuIpted to exquisite spIendour.
The exquisite beauty of the Taj MahaI!
- Nice poetry. - Thank you.
And the eIocution practised to perfection. On so many girIs.
''- With considerabIe success, I guess? - That isn't generous.''
''I just coined it. One Iook at you, and poetry fIowed forth.''
I swear!
You seem to be in a hurry.
The ship is traveIIing so fast. And time fIies faster!
We haven't a moment to Iose! Not a moment to Iose!
''Come, Iet us forget everything eIse.''
Your brother?
Daddy? - No
UncIe? - Not at aII.
My fiance.
StiII aIive? - AIive and kicking.
Were he to see you postured Iike this...
it mightn't be too good for you.
I see!
Forgive me. Not a nice match.
That's a personaI opinion.
Keep your opinions to yourseIf.
''Everyone eIse says, we are a fine pair.''
- Get it? - In parts.
''But teII me, have you ever cheated?''
''Or, do we caII them ''smaII mistakes''? Spanning, say three or four days?''
''Or say, three or four hours?''
I have never made any mistakes. And I intend not to.
WeII...
What did you say?
''I mean, it's been a pIeasure meeting the IdeaI Indian Woman!''
''Good night, and Iong Iive the Nation!''
Leaving aIready?
But we were supposed to spend the evening together!
I intended to. But I miss my Mummy!
I want to Iook at her photograph and cry my heart out!
Or is it your Grannie? - What did you say?
''- Come, Iet me see you off. - Thank you. I'II manage.''
Oh not at aII. The host aIways sees the guest off.
Come on.
''WaIked into a ''no entry'' zone. About turn.''
The ice isn't breaking.
Hurt your IittIe ego?
''On the contrary, I'm enjoying this.''
For the first time. I found someone who matches up to me.
''May I say something? We can be friends, can't we?''
''No, I mean no hanky, panky. No messing around.''
Just hundred percent. Pure friendship.
- Just friends? - I swear by my girIfriends!
Done?
Done.
I'm famished. WiII you buy me dinner?
''Judging from the way you speak about Iadies, I'm sure you don't...''
- hoId women in much esteem. - Wrong. EntireIy.
BeIieve me. I have this great respect for women.
I hoId them in very high regard. They're up there!
Up in the air?
No. Up on a throne.
But once I start getting to know them more cIoseIy...
''The esteem faIIs, oh ever so sIightIy.''
''Oh yes. And then the wavering. And then, the finaI crash.''
Correct.
Don't you think you might be breaking a few hearts?
I'm Ieft a few broken hearts behind. But what to do?
''You take me for a friend, don't you? Can I teII you something as a friend?''
You break the trust peopIe repose in you.
''Winning a confidence is easy; easier yet, breaking it.''
But Iiving up to it... that's tough.
''And man he is, who won't break the trust; one who wiII Iive up to it.''
Don't you think?
You didn't answer my question.
Enough about me. Now teII me something about yourseIf.
- We'II taIk about me tomorrow. - Why tomorrow?
We have the whoIe evening to ourseIves.
And we wiII have the tomorrow too.
- How was it Iast night? - Fine.
''Without you breathing down my neck, it was peacefuI.''
Yes? - What?
- Did you say something? - No. But you wiII. About yourseIf.
My story isn't as interesting as yours.
I was a two-year oId when my parents died in an accident.
I was brought up in an orphanage in Poona.
''When I grew up, I took to music. I taught the orphans in the home.''
He was a chief guest at one of these charity shows.
- Who? That feIIow in the photo? - Yes.
''After the show, he made a proposition.''
Love at first sight?!
He proposed setting up a music academy in Bombay.
- I see. - And I accepted.
''After some time, he propositioned me. I accepted.''
''- WeII, that's aII about my Iife. - OnIy a Ieaf out of your book.''
That's aII there is.
Dev! Stop him!
- Nice camera. - Imported! Made in Singapore!
Worth 500 doIIars. Takes great pictures!
- Can I see it? - Go on.
- How does it open up? - Over there.
''- The roII springs out. It's easy. - Hey, there's nothing on this.''
- You threw my roII away! - I'II dump the camera too.
I know! I know why you dumped my camera!
So peopIe won't know what the two of you are doing on the sIy!
But I'm going to teII them! AII about the affair!
- I'II fix you! - You dare!
- No. Don't you hit me! - Get out.
I'II teII the whoIe worId!
- Where are you off to? - Now I know what it means...
- to be seen with you. - But we're just friends.
''Mr Dev, Your reputation precedes you.''
I go my way. You go yours.
My way?
Found my way!
You remind me of a poem!
As pretty as the moon! As vibrant as the fIower in bIossom!
As beautifuI as a poem!
Like marbIe scuIpted to exquisite spIendour.
The exquisite beauty of the Taj MahaI!
- What are you doing this evening? - Nothing.
Then I have something interesting for you.
''Kamini, you're the Iast of the beauties God created.''
''So now you're appreciating him from a good distance, right?''
And where is he now? Romancing new-find Kamini!
- My son had such dreams for you! - About her... about me...
and a few of ours! A happy famiIy!
- Look how she ditched me for him! - And now he's fIown too!
What nonsense! Nothing of the sort ever happened between Dev and me.
That's what they aII say once they've been spurned!
''You don't beIieve me, do you? Wait, I'II prove it to you.''
Sure. Go on.
''WiII you come down for a moment, pIease?''
Not now. I'm busy.
Listen to me! I must taIk to you. This is important!
I toId you I'm busy! ShaII we go to the restaurant?
He isn't even Iistening anymore!
Poor thing! AII she can do now is throw herseIf in the sea!
Not as Iong as I'm aIive! I'm stiII wiIIing.
Right. Here take the bride price. And say yes to Popat.
Don't you miss this one Iast chance!
Lunching it out aII aIone! Poor thing!
Priya! Listen to me!
You're behaving as if you've seen a ghost!
Worse! You're a catastrophe! I just want to stay away from you!
I can't even waIk out of my cabin! AII thanks to you!
You know the rumours doing the rounds?
Forget aII that. And Iisten to me. Sit down.
''Tomorrow, this ship is docking at a beautifuI isIand.''
An isIand of fIowing streams...
fragrant forests. And such wonderfuI scenarios!
And you want me to accompany you?
Who's taIking about you? I'm taking Kamini aIong.
Go on. Take her aIong. Why have you come to me?
''- You want my permission? - Your heIp, darIing.''
Kamini's kid brother has toId his mother aII about us.
Why does God have to make kids? Why not send them aII grown up?
So now Kamini's mother won't Iet her go unescorted.
- What can I do to heIp? - Just taIk her mother into...
Ietting her come with you to the isIand.
You want me to do the dirty work for you?
''Priya! Don't refuse me! Look, what are friends for?''
''Get Iost, my friend!''
What are you doing?! Leave me! - I won't!
Everybody is watching! - Let them watch!
Let me go! You've aIready given me a bad name!
I won't! Not unIess you say you'II do it for me.
AII right! I wiII! Now Ieave me!
- You swear it by your fiance? - I swear!
Ten tomorrow. At the OrientaI Bazaar.
And don't be Iate.
Kamini! I thought we'd never see each other again!
I couIdn't sIeep aII Iast night! I kept up thinking about you!
We have to be back aboard by six.
Let's meet here at a quarter to six. Come on. Kamini.
''- WiII you Ieave me aII aIone?! - WeII, what eIse...?''
Now don't be a spoiIsport!
What am I supposed to do here aII day?
Look... there's a shrine over there.
You'II find a Iibrary in there. It's fuII of books about reIigion.
Catch up with some reading. Nice way to spend your time.
Did you say something? - No.
But I have something to teII you.
See you in the evening.
Why does my heart seek you?
''Never did I know we'd come together Iike this''
What madness is this?
I am madIy in Iove
''How did you make me faII in Iove?''
You have robbed me of my sIeep
You have Ieft me so restIess
You are the one I Iove
But you are so innocent
You do not know what Iove is
HeIp!
Are you out of your mind? That faII couId kiII you!
What were you doing here? - I was foIIowing you!
Why? - I don't know!
PIease! PIease take me back to the ship.
Are you out of your mind? That faII couId kiII you!
What were you doing here? - I was foIIowing you!
Why? - I don't know!
PIease! PIease take me back to the ship.
Dev! Come on! Mummy and my brother have gone to the movie theatre.
We have three hours to ourseIves! Your room or mine?
''- Kamini, we must taIk. - This is no time to taIk. Come on!''
Look. What we are doing is wrong.
''Why wrong? Once we reach Bombay, we're getting married.''
''Besides Dev, we're in Iove.''
''No, Kamini. I don't Iove you.''
''In the Iast 3 days, you've said it three hundred times over!''
That you Iove me! - I Iied.
Why?
Because I wanted to have fun with you.
And afterwards just dump me? - Yes.
Nice to see a man change for the better.
And you see what I get out of it?
That was my first time. And I don't know why I did it.
I think you're having an effect on me.
So you go your way. And I better go mine.
Thank you for saving my Iife.
- You set the party on fire. - You were expIosive.
What did you say?
We're touching another isIand tomorrow.
- Have you taken your pick? - No. At tomorrow's stop...
- Someone wiII be expecting me. - A woman in every port!
Nothing of the sort. I'm seeing my grandmother.
Ladies and gentIemen!
Mr Dev Karan Singh is going to meet his grandmother tomorrow!
On the isIand!
Stop joking. I'm reaIIy going to see my grandmother.
''WeII aII right, I'm coming aIong too. To see your...''
''sweet-sixteen-something grandmother! Okay with you, Grandpa?''
Just sign the photograph and make my day.
Our photograph? This is preposterous!
You've been taking pictures on the sIy!
That was just one of the many on saIe!
They're seIIing sets of three at a hundred Singapore each!
That's true.
Wait here.
Here's the Iove story! Dev and Priya!
One photo free for every two you buy!
Let go of my coIIar!
- It was his idea! Not mine. - His idea!
- Liar! He's Iying! - Shut up!
You better get hoId of every copy you've soId.
''EIse, I'm going to fix you for good!''
And you get this cIear.
I don't care for my reputation. But Priya is a good girI.
And I respect her.
''Give Priya a bad name, and you'II see more of me.''
Leave the rest of them here. And get Iost.
Did anyone teII you that you Iook handsome when you're angry?
''WeII, I guess you're good-Iooking anyway.''
''Nice photograph, isn't it? May I keep it?''
You're strange!
''TiII yesterday, you wouIdn't care to be seen around with me.''
I get a bad name if I go around with you.
''And when I'm not going around with you, it's worse.''
''So, better I stick around with you, right?''
''Now how about that rendezvous with your darIing grannie, eh Grandpa?''
''Won't you trust me, even for once?''
''To teII you the truth, I'm beginning to. In parts.''
ShaII we?
Come on.
Come Priya. Grandma!
She's in her tempIe.
Such a beautifuI pIace!
So caIm. So serene.
Just Iike a dream.
It's the pIace of their dreams.
Grandpa's and Grandma's dreams.
They came here for their honeymoon.
That's when they decided they'd buiId a smaII house here.
Here they'd Iive the Iast years of their Iives. Together.
''Two years ago, Grandpa died.''
''Ever since, Grandma has been waiting. For her caII.''
Grandma!
My chiId! My darIing!
I'm seeing you after so Iong!
I'm so happy to see you!
She...?
Is she your fiancee?
No. She isn't the one. She's a friend.
Come. Let me introduce you.
''Grandma, this is Priya. Priya, this is my grandmother.''
God bIess you my chiId.
Grandma thought you're my...
You're a beauty!
A beauty is what I'd caII this pIace of yours.
I feeI Iike Iiving here aII my Iife!
You mustn't say that.
This is a pIace one comes to when memories are aII that's Ieft.
But you have stiII to Iive the years of your memories.
Your tempIe must be beautifuI. Can I go in and take a Iook?
Why not? Go on.
''And you, Dev?''
How many years has it been since you waIked into a tempIe?
Go in. God isn't about to chew you up.
Go on.
Such innocence... she's so simpIe.
Just Iike an angeI. From the Heavens.
Did you say something? - No...
Pray in siIence.
- Coconuts from the farm. - Forget it!
- Do you know who's here? - Who?
It's Dev! Look...over there.
''- HeIIo, Dev! - Hi Ajino Moto!''
''- How are you? - Fine, thank you.''
- And the famiIy pIanning front? - StiII pIanning.
- StiII pIanning? - I'II teII you.
Same probIem as in India.
The girI chiId is treasured. But the maIe is preferred.
His attempts to sire the maIe heir have gotten him eIeven girIs!
- This time too? - Twins.
Bravo!
''Grandma, I'm going over to his pIace.''
''In the meantime, keep yourseIves company.''
''Come on, Ajino Moto.''
- You mean Dev painted that? - Yes.
I stiII remember the spieI he toId me about the painting.
As if he was my grandfather!
Let me do it. - Oh no. Not at aII.
Come on. This once onIy. Give it to me.
WeII aII right. Go on. Pamper me.
I'm reaIIy surprised to know that Dev knows so much....
about the reIigion and the hoIy scriptures.
You'II be surprised to know that Dev writes IoveIy poetry too.
He aIways used to top his form at schooI.
He has a penchant for Ianguages.
And he Ioves traveIIing and meeting peopIe.
''ReaIIy? - When he was a chiId,...''
he made us so proud.
The probIem is he's so fickIe-minded.
He just can't stick to any one thing...
or with anyone for that matter.
It's as if he's forever in search of something.
And the kind of Iife he Iives...
''Oh, I'm so afraid for him.''
''Come the day when he faces himseIf,''
he won't have any answers.
But there is one thing I know deep down in my heart.
''If he finds true Iove, if he finds a girI...''
who can show him what is right... Dev wiII change. For the better.
''That's true, isn't it?''
WeII... These ankIets are so pretty.
You Iike them?
''- I'II have them sent to you. - No, thank you.''
Won't you give me a chance to show you my appreciation?
Sorry. My mistake.
Now don't you forget that.
- Here's Dev. Come in. - Come in. You aren't intruding.
Grandma was just teIIing me stories about your chiIdhood.
- And what did she teII you? - That you'd scream and kick....
and thrash about if you weren't given what you wanted.
What did you have to say to that?
''You don't do that anymore, do you? When you don't get what you want...''
''you just nurse that bruised ego, right?''
Bruised ego? What's that?
''Nothing, Grandma. She aIways taIks in riddIes. Forget her.''
''Now, here's a smaII gift for you.''
I'm not the age when one accepts gifts.
''Take it, and watch the years roII back!''
Then I must!
Let me take a Iook.
His grandfather!
He Iooks so eIegant.
How did you paint this portrait?
I remember him. AII I had to do was put him down on the canvas.
I toId you! My Dev is a man of parts!
''TeII me, Grandma, do you Iike it?''
''If pictures couId speak, this wouId sing to me!''
Let's Ieave her aIone for a whiIe.
Was it necessary to puII my Ieg in front of Grandma?
I wasn't puIIing your Ieg. I was just puIIing your ears.
''If it hurt, pIease forgive me.''
''To teII you the truth Dev, when I first saw you, I thought...''
you're a scoundreI. I thought you're heartIess.
A bad character.
''But I came here, and now that I know more about you...''
I see something nice in you. Like a ray of Iight.
Bright.
The Iamp burns not by itseIf. It needs someone to Iight it.
''Sorrow and joy, shared in equaI parts''
And burdens borne in siIence
Who knows what Iife speaks of?
So famiIiar and yet so strange
In tears and in smiIes
''Life is a sea, and yet Ieaves the thirst unquenched''
''And sIowIy fIows this siIent stream''
''FIowing forth from the fountainhead''
''Yet untouched, unfeIt, Iies Iife''
Yet the fragrance you wiII miss
''Listen to your heart Speak to yourseIf''
Seek out someone after your heart
''What the worId might say? Let the worId say it.''
''Dream your dreams. Make your dreams come true.''
''Time you Ieft, son.''
''Don't be sad, Grandma. I'II be back very soon.''
I'd Iove it if you couId come to my wedding.
You know I won't. Here I am. HoIding one Iast fort.
My bIessings are aIways with you.
May God give you aII the happiness.
May you find the girI you've Iooked for.
May God protect you. AIways.
This vermiIion is meant for your wife.
Grandma! I hate to Ieave this pIace!
Do you know why this pIace is so beautifuI?
Because we put our hearts into it.
We had dreamt about a IittIe worId of ours.
It was an impossibIe dream.
''But in our hearts, we knew the dream wouId come true.''
And it happened.
Let me teII you something.
''Whatever the quandary, whatever the question...''
your heart wiII never faiI you. Listen to your heart.
And you wiII aIways find happiness.
Here you are. And I've been searching the whoIe ship for you.
''You're in tears! What's the matter, Priya?''
It's nothing. But I'II never forget this day.
I've never feIt so happy. There was so much Iove.
''It was so beautifuI, I feIt Iike crying!''
Thank you very much for introducing me to Grandma.
I must thank you for the Iove and respect...
you showed to my grandmother.
''So, we're going to be back in Bombay tomorrow.''
''Then I go my way, and you go yours.''
WiII you invite me to your wedding?
Sure.
Let me know the date. If we get married...
''on the same day, we won't be abIe to...''
- attend each other's weddings. - That we sureIy wiII.
Where are you going for the honeymoon?
Wherever you're going.
Don't you do that. Your wife wiII suspect you're after me.
''You were after me. The other day on the isIand, I mean.''
Why did you do it?
''Answer my question, Priya.''
TeII me
Why?
I'm not about to write this off as passing interIude.
I want to make this the most precious moment of my Iife.
''I want you for myseIf, Priya.''
Right now. Right here.
''Here, in the middIe of the sea.''
The moon and the stars shaII bear witness.
And the waves wiII appIaud us.
''And far and wide, there wiII be no one eIse.''
None eIse but You and I. And our Iove.
BoundIess Iove.
No!
''Listen to me, Priya! I have something to teII you.''
I've nothing to taIk to you about!
''Two minutes, Priya. Just two minutes.''
Two minutes. That's aII you have. Say what you have to.
I Iove you.
And I know that you Iove me.
Who are you to make my decisions?!
This is the man I'm going to marry. He is the man I have to Iove.
You got your answer?
I know I'm not worthy of you.
I've nothing to give you except my Iove.
But give me one chance.
I'II give it aII up. I'II give up being a bohemian!
6 months! Just give me that much.
I'II become independent. I'II prove I'm worthy of you.
And I'II buiId a smaII home. And I'II give you aII my Iove.
I'II give you aII the happiness in Iife!
Just give me six months!
Six months? I'm getting married next month!
Now Iook...
You've had your two minutes. Now pIease go away!
''I'II waIk away. Out of this room, and out of your Iife.''
Just teII me once you don't Iove me. Swear it by me!
Swear it! TeII me it was my mistake!
Try to understand! This isn't possibIe!
I am indebted to him. I can't cheat him.
I can't Ieave him aII aIone.
PIease! Don't make my Iife miserabIe!
Go away! Go away from here!
And take this with you.
I don't want to keep anything.
That reminds you of me.
I'II wait for you tomorrow. On the deck.
''If you wear that dress, I'II know you mean yes.''
''If you don't, I won't cross your path. Ever.''
No need to wait tiII tomorrow. You have my repIy!
Think it over.
This doesn't concern just the two of us.
It's a matter of four Iives.
I wiII be expecting you.
''You needn't, Dev!''
It's a no!
No!
What's Iife without you?
I can't even imagine Iiving without you.
Stop breathing and I'II stiII have a few moments to Iive.
But without you...? None.
You! Yes it's you. You're the first woman...
I've Ioved more than I Iove my Iife.
This present. My future. Every day... my every moment...
is pinned to the hope. Of you.
''In my prayers, in my siIence, aII I think is of you.''
OnIy you!
''Come time the stars have died out, when the moon shines no more...''
when time stands stiIIed; and hope Iives no more.
''But tiII that Iast ray of hope, tiII the Iast breath I breathe...''
I shaII wait for you.
Yes Priya. I shaII await you.
Are you happy now? You've had your wish.
''I sat up thinking aII night, what I'd teII you.''
The IogicaI concIusion was not to teII you anything.
But then I remembered Grandma's words.
To do what my heart teIIs me.
And my heart teIIs me...
I Iove you.
You toId me once that it's easy to break a trust.
But it's difficuIt to keep the trust.
I swear this on your Iove for me.
''Come what may, I'II never break the trust you have reposed in me.''
Whatever be the cost.
AII right.
Today is August 14. Let's meets six months from now. On February 14.
You mean VaIentine's Day?
The day for Iovers.
Very weII. But where?
Over there. At the Gateway of India. Five in the evening.
I'II be there. For you.
''But in these six months, we won't meet each other.''
And another thing.
''If one of misses the appointment, for whatever reason...''
the other won't ask why.
Don't say that Priya! We'II make it.
Sure. We'II make it.
Take care. - You take care of yourseIf too.
Did you say something? - No...
Do you Iike kids?
I Iove kids.
Dev shouId be here any moment.
What have you done to yourseIf? What's wrong with you?
You Iook Iike a jiIted Iover. Now don't you worry.
''From now on, I'II aIways be with you.''
Listen to me. I'm taIking to you.
''From now, we'II aIways stay together.''
What's over there? I'm here...
WeII I never...
And who is that dress meant to impress?
I'm aIready impressed with you.
Anita Singhania speaking. May I speak to Dev?
''Oh yes, Madam! I'm Dev. Sorry! I mean I'm Nattu.''
- Where's Dev? - He's right here.
Go on. TaIk to her.
''- Sorry, Madam. He isn't here. - What?''
- I mean he's in the bathroom. - He's been there for two hours!
First he went to the toiIet; then he went to the bathroom.
Then he went to the toiIet again. So he had to go to the bathroom.
Why aren't you taking Anita's caIIs?
And how many cigarettes are you going to smoke?
''With aII the smoke, it Iooks Iike this pIace is on fire!''
Fire. Yes. It's fire.
''On the ship, I met a girI. And...''
Now you're in Iove with her! You can't Iive without her!
- The usuaI! Spare me! - No. Not this time.
- Try to understand. - I don't want to hear anything.
Stop thinking about girIs. You're broke. Think about that.
And I'm not joking. Here...Iook. A Iove Ietter from your creditors.
LegaI notice! Pay up in 10 days or eIse...
The house! The cars! The swimming pooI!
Everything goes! They'II even auction my pants off!
- Mr Hirachand to see you sir. - Send him away.
''Hirachand, did you say?! Ask him to be seated.''
''The death's angeI! This time, he's going to kiII me!''
''Did you have to come? I mean, I was about to come over, you see.''
Why did you take the troubIe?
''ActuaIIy, we're sorry for this mess we've put Mr Dev in.''
AbsoIuteIy! You don't send IegaI notices to someone...
Who's about to marry a biIIionaire's daughter!
Morons! How dare you step in here?
''Anyway, now that you're here, I'II settIe the accounts...''
- before I throw you out. - PIease! Mr Natwar! Listen!
- We made a mistake! - Yes! Mistake!
''Mistake, was it?''
- Say you're a moron. - You're a moron.
- Say I'm a moron! - I'm a moron!
- Say you're a jackass. - You're a jackass.
- Say I'm a jackass. - I'm a jackass!
Here comes troubIe!
- Where's Dev? - Not at home!
No! In the toiIet! No! In the bathroom!
No! He's fishing in the swimming pooI right now.
You mustn't mind her.
- How are you concerned? - Not at aII... not at aII.
I've been caIIing you for hours. Why aren't you taking my caIIs?
- I have something to teII you. - Later. We're going out now.
''- Anita, hear me out. - We're going out. That's finaI.''
Sure. You go out. EIse we're gone!
''The Iady is going to be unhappy, no? Come on.''
- Where have you brought me? - Just come with me.
''- What's this aII about, Anita? - You'II know very soon.''
''- What's aII this, Anita? - Let me expIain.''
''TeII me, do you Iike the house?''
This is a paIace. - It's yours.
A smaII gift. From me.
SmaII? Gift?
''The man who owned this house, refused to seII-out.''
''But my daughter says, This is the house I want.''
So I paid three times the asking price.
''AbsoIuteIy right, sir! - Cameras ready.''
''- Come on, darIing. - Where?''
We're going on TV. We'II teII the whoIe worId we're getting married!
Yes! I'II teII the whoIe worId! The most sought after man...
the most handsome of them aII is mine! ExcIusiveIy mine!
- You aren't human! - What?!
You're superhuman! Superman!
WeIcome. PIease be seated. Over here.
What a match! God bIess!
''Friends, weIcome to ''CIose Down'', Moon TV's superhit programme.''
Our guest for the day is Mr. Pratap Rai Singhania's...
son-in-Iaw-to-be. Mr. Dev Karan Singh.
And his fiancee Anita Singhania.
''Look, who's on TV!''
- Who? - The famous Romeo. Dev Karan Singh.
''So finaIIy, you decided to tie the knot?''
Yes.
What about the image you've cuItivated?
You're aIways on the move. Isn't this a sudden change?
AII of a sudden I met someone.
And she fiIIed my Iife with Iove.
FiIIed your pockets with her miIIions too?
No. - ReaIIy?
But Mr Singhania was just taIking about...
''making you this ''IittIe'' gift. A IittIe paIace...?''
I haven't accepted his gift yet.
I want my wife to Iive in the house I buy for her...
- With my hard-earned money. - So you intend to work?
''WouId you Iike to teII our viewers what ''work'' you're about to do?''
Not painting! You better get into printing big currency notes!
''Even Mr Singhania's pet dogs are fed mineraI water, you know?''
That I can see.
That was tongue-in-cheek!
''What was that about ''work'', Dev? Daddy's there.''
''No, Anita. I've aIways Iived off others. But she taught me...''
how to Iive for others. And the house I want for her...
''WiII be fuII of Iove, Iaughter and sunshine.''
''This other ''she'' isn't she, is she? Mr Dev, do you mean to say that...''
Mr Anita Singhania isn't the woman you're going to marry?
Is there someone eIse?
This woman you're going to marry... is she Anita Singhania? Or isn't she?
There's someone eIse.
Good! He ditched the bitch!
Pandemonium! Chaos! This interview is a catastrophe!
Mr Dev Karan Singh has done it again. Caught us by surprise!
What Mr Dev just said means that he's kicking out...
''Mr. Singhania's daughter, dough-and-daddy-and-aII!''
- What nonsense! - PIease stay caIm!
- Shut off that camera! - His prestige! Gone to the dogs!
What's going on?! Are you out of your mind?
What nonsense is this? Are you drunk?
No. I'm very much in my senses.
''Anita, I can't marry you.''
I've bought the wedding dress! And my nightgown for the honeymoon!
And now he says he won't marry me!
''Now try to understand, my chiId...''
He wiII! Of course he wiII! He was just joking! ApriI fooI!
''No. I'm not joking. Anita, you'II find someone better.''
''Keep your advice to yourseIf, and get out of here!''
UncIe! Trust me! He's just a kid! I'II bring him around.
- PIease! Don't be angry! - WiII you pIease turn around?
''- PIease to bend forward. - Right, sir!''
And I thought Iove has no meaning anymore.
But I see you. And I know.
Love Iives. Because of peopIe Iike you who wiII...
sacrifice everything for the sake of Iove.
You did the right thing.
We don't know each other.
But I'm sure you wiII get what you want.
You've ruined everything!
No tension. Come on out. I'II handIe them.
Yes brother?
''The keys, pIease.''
- Strip. - No! I won't!
Oh yes! I'II take off everything! AII my cIothes!
May I keep the rest?
- One minute. Say you're a moron. - You're a moron!
''- Say I'm a moron. - Yes, I'm a moron.''
- Say you're a jackass. - You're a jackass.
- I'm a jackass. - I'm a jackass! I'm shit!
I'm a sonofabitch. Goodbye!
''CongratuIations, Dev! What a turnaround!''
From princes to paupers! AII in a minute!
We have nothing now! We're ruined!
- Ruined! - Don't cry my chiId.
Here. Buy yourseIf breakfast.
''By the grace of AIIah, everything wiII be aII right.''
AIms! Dev!
Look! I've got a promotion! From pauper to beggar!
And you know why? Because you're in Iove!
The onIy thing Iove has ever given anyone is ruination!
''That's history! Look at Farhad. EventuaIIy, he went mad!''
And that Majnu! He got shoes and brickbats!
And Romeo! He died Iike a dog!
''But for the first time ever, a man becomes a beggar...''
because his friend is in Iove!
May the eviI serpent strike Iove down!
Put that Iove in a coffin and give it the deep-six!
Put that thing on fire!
We've found ourseIves a madman!
Not the type we're Iooking for.
He's worse. Let's take him to the asyIum.
He couId add a dash of coIour!
Let's do it!
''Better watch it, if you're in Iove! Love! That's a no-no!''
''At heart, we're aII fooIs!''
What are you doing? Where are you taking me?
- To the madhouse. - But I'm not mad!
''That's what they aII say, son.''
''If you're Iooking for a madcap, get him!''
He just kicked a biIIion bucks! Because he's madIy in Iove!
- Don't Iisten to him. He's mad. - You're mad!
''- Raj, pIease. - He isn't in the office.''
- PIease teII him I caIIed. - Ms Priya?
Yes. Priya. PIease ask him to caII back immediateIy.
''- I'm at home. - AII right, Madam.''
''Raj, where have you been? I wanted to speak to you urgentIy.''
Me too. What a fooI I've been! A compIete idiot!
''For two years, I've been promising to marry you next month.''
''And today, I see this madman.''
What's his name...? Yes. Dev Karan Singh.
He opened my eyes! And now I've decided.
Not next month. I'II marry you right next week.
There's something eIse.
What couId be more important?
''Raj, why don't you sit down? PIease. Sit.''
When I was on the ship...
What happened?
''CongratuIations, nephew!''
''- HeIIo, UncIe! HeIIo Aunt. - God bIess you.''
''CongratuIations, Priya. This fooI caIIed us up...''
to teII us about the marriage. I waited for this forever.
And we didn't waste a moment...
after I put down the phone. FIew down straight.
''- Marriages are expensive, you see. - Now stop it.''
Here's the bride's trousseau. JeweIIery and the wedding dress.
I don't think the bridegroom's brother-in-Iaw is expected...
''to make expensive gifts, right?''
''So you taIked him into it? This is an achievement, Priya.''
Now get married before my brother changes his mind.
Let's give them a grand song-and-dance-and-everything.
- How about starting tomorrow? - Why tomorrow?
Why keep for tomorrow what you can do tonight?
No point putting it off tiII you're too oId to do it.
''- Won't you make a bIessing, UncIe? - Keep in good spirits forever!''
In good spirits! Forever!
Thank you for getting me out of that mad house.
''A few hours more, and those madcaps wouId've raped me. MentaIIy, I mean.''
''FeeI Iike Iaughing, do you?''
''You know, one of them was a savage.''
''AII night, I kept reminding him that my tummy isn't a tom-tom.''
But he went on drumming. Used a pair of sticks.
''Any Ionger, and my tom-tom wouId've cracked up!''
You stiII feeI Iike Iaughing? Have a good Iaugh whiIe you can!
''You'II have pIenty to weep over, after your affair with Iove is over!''
''I say, Iet's go and beg Singhania. EIse, we'II starve!''
Come on. We've found a job.
Maybe you want a painter? I'm one. What's the job?
- Speed breakers. - What?!
- BIack and white stripes. Get it? - You want to get bashed up?
You want an artiste Iike Dev Karan to do a speedbreaker job?
And I needn't kiII you for it. You're haIf-dead aIready.
''Curse my mother, not my heaIth. I'm touchy about my heaIth.''
- If I touch you...! - Stop it Nattu.
Not to mind him. I'm ready to do it.
Just get on with it. - Thanks.
Don't Iet me hit you!
Why are you painting speed-breakers?
- What do you mean? - Are you in Iove or something?
''These days, Iovers are painting speed-breakers.''
Are you into faIIing-in-Iove -and-painting-speed breakers?
I do it for a Iiving.
- Lend me a beedi? - Go on.
- Want me to Iook for matches? - Go on.
''100, 200, 300... 350. That's for a day's work.''
''Look, Nattu! My first saIary.''
- I'II buy a canvas. - I'II buy a snack.
I'm hungry!
''Come on, Mr Painter! Dinner is warm!''
''After two whoIe days, eating is fun!''
Go on. Eat it before it gets coId.
Later.
ShaII I teII you something?
It takes some girI to change the deviI you used to be.
Won't you teII me about your Priya? What's she Iike to taIk to?
What does she Iook Iike? How is the smiIe?
She's exquisite.
Like these coIours. There's the coIour of wines in her eyes.
A goIden voice.
And there's a rainbow of coIours in that smiIe.
Those in Iove wiII die for Iove.
''For you I'II Iive a hundred Iifetimes''
I'II die for your Iove
''For the sake of my Iove for you, I'II do what no one has ever done''
This I want to teII you
I want to Iive in your heart
I'II give you my Iove
''And the Heaven and the Earth is my gift to you''
''For you are a fairy, an angeI''
You are a bIossom in fuII bIoom
Let the spirit soar
''And touch the season with a goIden hue''
Dev! What have you been doing?
- Aren't they up to the mark? - Up to the mark? They're superb!
Mind-bIowing! Fantastic! You've worked magic!
Such paintings couId fetch anything for the asking!
And this one!
- It isn't ready yet. - Then hurry up and finish it.
- They'II make bids for this one! - No. I'II never seII it.
- Why? - This is for Priya.
This isn't just a picture. OnIy Priya wiII understand that.
It's one moment. An experience of a Iifetime.
It's the portrait of my Iove.
''Priya, why did you waIk out?''
''Raj, I want to teII you something.''
I know what you want to teII me.
You know it?! - Yes.
And I'm amazed it took you so Iong to speak your mind.
''The wedding ceIebrations have begun. Now, are you out of your mind?''
Don't you understand that aII I want is to make you happy?
''WeII, I didn't teII you this. But I decided to invite them.''
What?
Look... over there.
''This is very seIfish of you, Priya. Ever since you found Raj...''
- you've aII but forgotten us. - Right!
And Raj came over personaIIy to the orphanage to invite us.
Raj has treated us such respect. This I shaII never forget.
They never invite orphans to a wedding. I'm gratefuI.
''To Priya, you are famiIy. That makes you my in-Iaws.''
I can't wed my bride unIess the brides'peopIe are present.
And bridesmaids Iet not sIip this chance...
of making the bridegroom dance to your tune.
''To the centrestage, Iadies! Drag him aIong.''
I meet her in my dreams
''AII day she hides her face behind the veiI''
And she speaks with her eyes
I'm so happy today! He respects you. And he Ioves you very much!
You're Iucky. You're very Iucky.
''What's it, my chiId? Why are you weeping?''
I don't want to marry him.
What are you saying?!
''TeII me, what am I going to do?! What do I do?!''
''Before you take any decisions, you shouId taIk to Madhu.''
She's been your friend ever since your chiIdhood.
But she married and moved to BangaIore.
She's back in the orphanage. For good.
I'm Priya!
Yes! I'm Priya.
What happened to her?
Someone found her wandering in the raiIway station in BangaIore.
He sent us news. We brought her back.
- And her husband? Her in-Iaws? - He deserted her for another woman.
The doctors say that she has Iost her mind compIeteIy.
She even tried to kiII herseIf severaI times.
She gives up everything for the sake of a person...
''and out of the bIue, he says that he's Ieaving her forever.''
It couId drive anyone mad.
Even you. Even Raj.
Take her away.
You want to wriggIe out of the marriage.
But have you considered the consequences?
Do you think Raj wiII be abIe to get over the shock?
Do you want Raj to end up Iike Madhu?
Do you want to Ieave him masticating on your memories...
with every passing moment more dead than aIive?
I agree that it'd make you happy to marry the man you Iove.
But don't you think it's your duty...
to sacrifice your Iove for Raj's sake?
''But this decision, you wiII have to take.''
WiII it be Iove? Or your duty?
But remember this much. If you send Raj away...
no gentIeman wiII ever dare to marry an orphan.
''Dear Dev, PIease forgive me. I won't be abIe to...''
keep the appointment on 14th February.
Don't think that I don't Iove you anymore.
But I can never repay my debt to Raj.
To a woman a husband is Iike a God.
I'm going to marry a man who has been Iike a God to me.
Forgive me.
''What is it? - I'm soId your ''Woman.''
''For 50,000!''
Good! What about the other one?
''I'II seII her too. For what she is, the wench wiII fetch 100,000!''
You shameIess Iout! You pimp!
Why did you sIap me?
A man Iike you shouId be shot in the head!
''SeII a woman again, and I'II break aII your teeth.''
What are you Iaughing at?
Stop staring Iike that. It was a portrait.
Portrait? That means you're an artiste.
- Yes. - What are you doing here?
Making a Iiving. Hoardings by day. Portraits by night.
- You don't sIeep? - I sIept so Iong. I just woke up.
Either you're mad. Or you're in Iove.
Both. Mad. And in Iove.
That makes sense.
You? Here so earIy?
Not earIy. I'm right on time. Come. Sit here.
''Two days from now, we'II be man and wife.''
''For our sake, I don't want any secrets between us.''
ShouId something come out in the open tomorrow...
it might not be too comfortabIe.
Now Iisten carefuIIy to what I have to say.
''WhiIe you were away in Singapore, I met one Maya in London.''
We hit it out as friends.
We didn't even reaIise we were faIIing in Iove.
''When I came to my senses, I thought about you.''
''Here I was to marry you, and...!''
I toId her straightaway to forget me.
It broke her heart.
''Priya, I did the right thing, didn't I?''
No Raj. What you did was wrong.
''If you Iove her, you shouId go to her.''
You shouId own up. For there's nothing more important than Iove!
Then why are you ditching Dev? Why are you marrying me?
Thank God Dev doesn't Iive at this address anymore.
That's how I got this Ietter you wrote to him.
''Are you out of your mind, Priya?''
This man sacrificed everything for your sake.
And you teII him to forget you!
''What for, Priya?''
Is it because you think you're in my debt?
You raised me to the status of a God.
''But the truth of it is, you don't even consider me your friend.''
''- No, Raj! - What do you mean?''
Between friends there are no debts.
You created this academy by dint of your enterprise.
''CaII it a debt, and you insuIt your own capabiIities.''
And you denigrate our friendship!
Even if everyone says that you're in my debt...
it's Dev whom you owe. For there's nothing greater than Iove.
You're going to see Dev on 14th February. You wiII...
and you'II marry him.
I'm indebted to you!
Your house! The home you bought with your hard-earned money!
Now I know the power of Iove!
That's why we caII him The Greatest Lover in the worId!
Remember me? No?
Moon TV...N.D. Srivastav...? The interview...?
That boxing match with Singhania? Remember?
Just one interview.
- No. I wouIdn't Iike to. - PIease! Don't say no.
''For every Romeo, you're the ideaI Romeo!''
And tomorrow is 14th February. VaIentine's Day!
- What's VaIentine's Day? - Christmas for Iovers.
A message from you wouId make so many souIs happy!
''- TeII him, won't you? - Take your fingers off me.''
Go on. Give it to him. Otherwise he'II go on and on.
Okay. Make it quick.
Red Iight means camera is on.
The red Iight is on.
''Friends, on the eve of VaIentine's Day, we present...''
famous casanova-turned-sincere-Iover Mr Dev Karan Singh.
In six months you've made your dreams come true.
What eIse do you want out of Iife?
''Come tomorrow, we wiII meet never to part.''
''AII I want, is that she brings boundIess joy into my Iife.''
May no shadow of sorrow ever touch us.
May we be happy. AIways.
''Now Mr Dev, won't you teII us the name of the girI...''
who is bringing aII the joy into your Iife?
Her name is Priya.
''She said ''I Iove you''!''
So what? My Daddy says that every day.
- To your Mummy? - No. To the neighbour.
What's this Iove?
When a sixteen year oId girI sees a seventeen year oId boy...
''and something happens to them, that's caIIed Iove.''
PIease make me a seventeen year oId. I want to do Iove.
To whom? - Madhuri Dixit!
Why?
Because she dances to those great beats!
Shut up. It's the teacher's heart that's beating.
''Tomorrow is a wonderfuI day for her! Right, Teacher?''
''Yes, chiIdren. Tomorrow is going to be the IoveIiest day of my Iife.''
''Tomorrow, I am going to meet Dev.''
PIay on
Let me dance to the beat
''My heart sings. And the worId sings with me''
The chime of her ankIets beckon me
''In the breeze fIies her veiI to me, fragrant of her''
I'II pour my heart out to you
''Oh how I've waited aII these days and nights!''
''In the mirror of my eyes. In the deep vaIIeys of your eyes''
''In every breath, embracing my Iife.''
''- I find your fragrance. - AII I see is you.''
''- AII I think of is you. - AII I see is you.''
''I won't stay away from you any Ionger''
Do not weep tears in separation
I shaII aIways hoId you in my eyes
''Every moment I wiII give you my true Iove''
''I wiII hoId you in my arms I wiII pIay with your tresses''
AII your sorrows are mine
You are the one I Iove
You are the one my heart beats for
- What happened? - Let me see.
- What happened? - A fIat. I'II repIace it.
- Never mind. I'II waIk it. - It'II take me onIy two minutes.
''- It's nearby. I'II waIk. - AII right, madam.''
Get ready to operate.
- A major operation is necessary. - Money is no criterion.
- It isn't a question of money. - We need your authorisation.
''Dev! I'm coming! Wait for me, Dev!''
The ship...take me back to the ship!
My wedding!
I'm coming Dev! I'm coming. Wait for me.
''Dev, you've been so Iong. Where's Priya?''
I'm asking you. Where's Priya?
She didn't come.
Didn't come...?
''- Priya, you shouId rest. - No. Dev is waiting. I must go.''
- Lie down. PIease. - No! Dev is waiting for me.
- Let me go. I must! - You can't go anywhere.
Why can't I? I'm fine! Let me go.
''- Dev is waiting for me! - Priya, Iisten to me.''
Why don't you understand? Let me go!
Does Dev know about this?
No.
He must never know! Under no circumstance!
Then he won't.
AII Dev's dream! AII his hopes!
It's aII over!
Your grandmother.
''A moment of Iaughter. Then come the tears''
Life punishes at wiII
''Gone once, never to return?''
''Why happens these, can anyone say?''
Grandma!
Forgive me. We couIdn't wait for you to arrive.
It takes four or five days to reach here.
I understand.
Your grandmother wanted Ms Priya to have these ankIets.
That was her Iast wish.
''We shaII overcome. We shaII overcome''
We shaII overcome some day
See Priya? See how happy the chiIdren are to see you?
''Oh deep in my heart I do beIieve''
We shaII overcome some day
Sunny got his opening Iine wrong.
''It starts with ''Mann.''
''- What's ''Mann''? - ''Mann'' is conscience.''
Conscience Iives inside your heart.
''Your heart, the pIace where you keep aII your Iove.''
- For Mummy. For Daddy. - You don't have Mummy-Daddies.
So is your heart aII empty?
''No. There's someone eIse. In my heart, I hoId my Iove for him.''
Who is it?
A prince. A IoveIy prince.
A prince? CindereIIa's prince?
Someone just Iike him.
So you're CindereIIa?
''Then in the end, you'II Iive happiIy ever after!''
God wiIIing.
No. But you can't Iive happiIy ever after.
Why?
Because the prince is going to come with the missing shoe.
But how is he going to recognise you?
You don't have your feet anymore.
Stupid boy! You made the teacher cry!
''I'm sorry Teacher, for making you cry.''
No. You said the right thing.
I'II never find my prince.
- No. You'II find him. - Of course you'II find your prince!
We'II pray for you.
''HeIIo, Mr Dev, JaspaI speaking.''
No. Not the Bhatti. JaspaI Sandhu. Your agent.
Yes. JaspaI?
''A Iady wants to buy the painting you've titIed ''Mann.''
It's not for saIe. And you know that.
I've been reasoning and reasoning. But she won't Iisten.
She is just sitting there waxing eIoquent about your painting.
''It isn't a painting. It's a moment, she was saying.''
''It's a reIationship, she said. And what eIse was she saying?''
Oh yes. She said it's a portrait of someone's Iove.
Who is this Iady? - I don't know her.
She's an invaIid.
And my guess is she isn't rich.
I know what I'II do. I peg it high. That'II make her run away.
No. Let her have it.
For how much? - For nothing. Just give it to her.
Free?! - Yes.
And teII her that the painter thanks her for the appreciation.
At Ieast there's someone who appreciates the underIying emotion.
''WeII, as you pIease.''
Dev! Look what I got for us! Two tickets to the super hit pIay!
Come on. This is reaIIy going to heIp you unwind.
- Now get dressed. Hurry. - I'm not going.
Then go on tear up the tickets.
Oh trash it! Who am I? Why shouId you come with me?
Am I a friend or something? No! I'm just your secretary.
I'm your servant. Your personaI sycophant!
How can I even expect you to see a pIay for my sake?
Trash your friends. Trash the tickets.
- WiII it make you happy if I come? - I'II be overjoyed!
- Let's go. - That's Iike you! Get dressed.
''Sooraj, I know what I say might hurt you.''
''But maybe, this is what fate desires.''
That we separate.
Once and for aII.
''Kiran, you must never Ieave me.''
''EIse, pray that I die.''
Because I can't stay away from you. Not even for a moment.
''- I can't Iive without you. - Why don't you understand, Sooraj?''
- We can't marry. It's impossibIe. - But why? What's so compeIIing?
- Have I not given you aII my Iove? - No.
- Then why do you want to Ieave me? - These questions I can't answer.
Don't ask me to say something that's going to hurt you.
Forget that you ever Ioved anyone.
Forget that you have truIy Ioved.
''Forget me, Sooraj. Forget me!''
I desire you. I aIways wiII
''Not even death can kiII my Iove for you''
''I think of you, and the tears fiII my eyes''
''And every moment I wish you were mine''
You are the story of my Iife
''The words you spoke. That urgent desire''
FaIse promises did you swear?
''TeII me my Iove, is aII this true?''
''In this moment I trust. Do not betray me''
''Give me what I've waited for so Iong''
I have Ioved you. I aIways wiII
''Not even death can kiII my Iove for you''
''Yours I am, I swear''
''You I shaII aIways stand by. Let me share aII your sorrows''
''I shaII Iive my Iife in the sorrow of separation''
For I have Iost my way
Let me carry the burdens of my woes
''I have Ioved you. I aIways wiII''
''Not even death can kiII my Iove for you''
''Here you are with me, and yet so far away''
''How do I teII you? I am so heIpIess!''
''What Iife is this, a Iife fuII of tears?''
What's the matter Priya?
Want me to get you a gIass of water?
I'm going to teII Dev everything.
You'II do nothing Iike that!
I won't keep shut anymore. I'II teII him what the truth is.
''No, Raj!''
PIease! Stop! For God's sake! Don't do this!
''Listen to me, Raj!''
For God's sake! Don't! Raj! Come back!
Listen!
''Priya! Are you aII right, Priya?''
You must never teII him! For my sake! PIease!
For the sake of our friendship!
Are you cross with me?
No.
''As a friend, I have to do your bidding.''
It's over. And I'm not getting into an argument about this.
''Can I ask you something, Raj?''
''God forbid, if this happened to you, what wouId you have done?''
TeII me Raj. What wouId you have done?
WouId you become a burden of a Iifetime for someone?
I know you're feeIing very sorry for me.
''If not in this Iifetime, Dev and I wiII make it up in the next one.''
Hope is what make the worId go around. Right?
Where are you going?
To Grandma's house. - For how Iong?
For good. - Have you gone mad?
You have a whoIe new Iife ahead of you!
You have become a renowned painter!
The critics never tire of praising you!
Success Iies at your feet! And you want to give it up?
''Don't do this, my friend. Don't!''
Not even a thousand Iamps can Iight up...
the eyes of one who has Iost his sight.
''AII this fame, this accIaim, were means to an end.''
The purpose is Iost. What use the means?
Take care of yourseIf.
I'm sure we'II win the first prize at...
the AII-India MusicaI Competition.
But you aren't going to be there with us to take the prize.
Come on. We're going onIy as far as Poona.
I wished I couId. But the doctors advise me against Iong journeys.
''- I'II take care of you, Teacher. - You can't take care of yourseIf.''
- You stiII pee your pants. - I pee my pants. Not yours.
Mind your own business.
''ChiIdren, do you want your teacher to be more sick?''
No!
Then go and get us the first prize.
- Can I get you anything? - No thank you.
Can I teII you something?
It's DiwaIi today. I hate to see you sitting aII aIone.
''- Why don't you come home with me? - No, thank you. I'm fine.''
PIease ring the caIIing beII if you want anything.
Is Priya Verma in?
May I come in? - Oh yes. PIease do.
How are you? - Fine.
May I sit down? - Yes. Come. Sit down.
- How have you been? - You've aIready asked me once.
''- WeII, how have you been? - I'm aII right. Fine.''
You don't Iook it.
WeII not exactIy fit and fine. Maybe it's the weather.
Just a bit feverish.
Not to worry. I won't take too much of your time.
I won't mind it.
You must be wondering why I'm here.
''WeII, I just wondered...''
To apoIogise. - ApoIogise? For what?
For not keeping my promise. I didn't keep the appointment.
You didn't?
No. So I thought I'd apoIogise. Better Iate than never?
What I did was wrong. I made a promise. And I didn't keep it.
You must've feIt very bad.
Yes. I did feeI bad about it.
''I thought, what's wrong? To keep someone waiting Iike that...''
Keeping someone waiting tiII Iate at night.
How Iong did you wait? I mean you must've waited for hours?
''Yes. I waited for quite sometime. TiII midnight, or was it one a.m.?''
Upto five in the morning?
Five in the morning...
And what did you do afterwards?
At first I was very angry. To wait over there tiII 5 a.m...
And your car must've been decked with fIowers?
And aII arrangements for the wedding done?
One keeps searching. Like mad! Is she there? Or waiting there?
And one keeps muttering to himseIf. She wiII come. She has to come.
That was a mean thing to do. It shouId never have been done.
One shouId've at Ieast sent in a Ietter of apoIogy? Or no?
One might not have known where to maiI the Ietter.
''Finding an address isn't tough. I found your address, didn't I?''
''Look hard enough, and you'II even find God!''
You can find everything. AII save one.
True Iove. - You wiII find your true Iove.
So yours was faIse?
''Why didn't you come, Priya? Why didn't you?!''
You promised you wouId!
We aIso promised we'd never question if one of us...
- was to miss the appointment. - I know why you didn't come!
- Because you didn't Iove me truIy! - If you know the answer...
why ask the question?
It's easy to win someone's trust. It's easier to break a trust.
But keeping a trust ... that's tough.
''Your words, right?''
I can't beIieve this! The girI who teIIs me to keep a trust...
goes and breaks it!
Oh forget Iove. You didn't even pay Iip service to our friendship.
You didn't even invite me to your wedding.
I'II invite you. As and when.
Meaning... you aren't yet...
Forget it. TeII me about yourseIf. What's happening in your Iife?
I hear you've become a famous painter?
Yes. But sometimes that makes things difficuIt for me.
How - PeopIe point fingers at me.
''There goes the mad painter, they say.''
He'II teII every girI that he Ioves her!
''And then, where do we meet in six months?''
So do they keep their appointments?
''Of course they do. At pIaces Iike the Taj MahaI, the Charminar...''
the Red Fort. Everywhere!
''Madcap that I am, I aIways keep my girIs waiting.''
And what do you do?
I just keep waiting. For someone.
Why do you want to ruin your Iife? You'II find a good girI.
''Not to worry, Priya. I've decided who it's going to be.''
Memories.
''And with these fine memories, I'm Ieaving this city. For good.''
Oh I forgot. I have a DiwaIi present for you.
No. You mustn't.
It isn't from me. It's from Grandma.
She wanted me to deIiver her ankIets to you. It was her Iast wish.
So that's why she didn't answer my Ietters.
No! I'II put them on myseIf!
Don't be aIarmed Priya. I won't exceed the Iimits of decency.
''You know Priya, I did a portrait. You and Grandma together.''
You remember when Grandma was teIIing you that she'd...
send you the ankIets someday?
That is the moment I chose for the painting.
Nattu used to say it's my best.
I had decided I'd never seII the painting.
''But Iast week, my agent caIIs me up, and he teIIs me that...''
a Iady happened to Iike the painting.
Her observation was so minute.
The kind of scrutiny I'd expect from you.
I toId my agent to give the painting away.
She didn't seem to have the money. And she was an invaIid.
No! I'II put it on myseIf!
Do you know what she had to say when she saw the painting?
''This isn't a mereIy painting, she said.''
''This is a moment, an experience. A portrait of someone's Iove.''
''Don't stare at me Iike that, Dev!''
Don't Iook at me Iike that!
Why did you keep it a secret? Why didn't you teII me?
''If it had to happen, why didn't it happen to me?!''
It was aII my fauIt.
I was possessed! I was running. To meet you!
''When I came to my senses, I found I had Iost the ground under my feet!''
No Iegs.
I'm not Iike you anymore!
Not Iike you! - Yes. You've become very seIfish.
You wanted to keep aII the troubIe to yourseIf?
AII I wanted from you is a IittIe bit of joy.
WiII you even refuse to share with me your sorrows?
Don't you ever Ieave me again!
''We'II face it together. It'II be Iike a song, I teII you.''
The coupIe wiII now take the rituaI circumnavigation of the hoIy fire.
