Screen test? What's a screen test?
The film maker's eye is a camera
You entered and I heard bells ring I said this is the girl
She is the one I have been looking for
Sona
Perfect screen name
Thank you
You're tailor made for the character my film demands
What? You don't believe me?
It is all destiny
Destiny has delivered you from Kanpur to the Pinky Productions' office
It's all written here
That's it
Now you should meet me regularly
It is important that an artiste and a maker understand each other well
And for that we must spend time together
You do understand me, don't you?
Life...
what all it shows us...
along a hazy path of dreams...
Life...
where all it takes us...
following a mysterious desire.
What is it that we want?
Think... What is the final destination?
With all the wisdom you can part...
you won't convince a stubborn heart.
It wants to touch...
the stars!
It yearns...
not one but all the stars.
Life...
Says so many things...
In one simple phrase.
Life...
dresses so many fantasies...
every lonely night and day?
These dreams are filled with aspirations...
Ask your heart what are they...
Are they difficult or simple?
And listen, to your heart, just say...
It wants to touch...
the stars!
It yearns...
not one but all the stars.
Those who carry their dreams...
and walk...
pace yourself carefully.
Do not complain...
if you stumble...
if your dreams crash and tears tumble.
Those who carry their dreams...
and walk...
pace yourself carefully.
Do not complain...
if you stumble...
if your dreams crash and tears tumble.
Kamla Devi please wait Kamla Devi
Where is Roopa?
Roopa has gone, she's gone far away, Anand babu
Consider her a dream and forget her
Everyone dreams Kamla Devi
But the only ones that come true
are the dreams we refuse to forget
Roopa isn't my fantasy
she is my reality
Tell her that
And cut!
Rewind that
Hold on
How was that? It was good
That hat was a very good touch
I wasn't expecting that
Lunch half an hour How was my shot?
Was it okay? Be back on the set in half an hour
In the middle, I hesitated, I almost called her Roopa
I noticed that, but it's a long shot I think we can handle it in the dubbing
I wasn't going to do such a small role
But Raju told me that there were two scenes with Aamir Khan
So I agreed
When will your film with Mr Chowdhary start?
By the end of the year
I hate to stand and eat
Come let's sit there
She's been saying the same thing for years
Who knows if she's taking Chowdhary for a ride
or the other way around
I wish you would've turned me down the day we met
But that wasn't the case
You showed delicious dreams
and I like a fool went ahead
Ch stop it! Stop it!
What the hell are you doing?
She is your lover she has broken your heart
I have told you a hundred times feel it!
Feel!
Who is an actor?
An actor is one who intoxicates himself with the character
Vikram Yes, sir?
You do it Yes, sir
And what are these delicious dreams?
It's supposed to be beautiful dreams
Action!
I wish you would've turned me down the day we met
But that wasn't the case
You inspired beautiful dreams in me
and I just blindly followed you
further and further
But when I awoke
I realized how poisonous that sweet voice was
And those beautiful eyes?
So full of deceit!
Not bad
But Vikram you underplay a lot
too much of underplay
Mainstream cinema calls for projection
Energy!
Sit
I wish
you would've turned me down even before we met
Sit
It is easy to become an actor in Hollywood
but in Hindi films
very difficult
The Hindi film hero not only acts
but also sings, dances
does comedy and excels at action
My brothers
it takes a lot of talent to be a hero in Hindi films
And to be a heroine?
That too, takes some effort
So from tomorrow your training starts
Watch out, O lovely ladies, here I come!
An admirer of beauty or a foe...
My charm is unlike anyone you've known
Watch out, O lovely ladies, here I come!
An admirer of beauty or a foe...
My charm is unlike anyone you've known.
Today is your last day at the Nand Kishore School of Acting
All the best
All that I could teach you
the knowledge I could impart' I have
But
acting is such a mystical ocean
the deeper you dive, the deeper it gets
Isn't it, Mr Mac Mohan? Yes, yes, indeed
But you must never forget
that along with talent luck is an important factor
I think, the key is
that you have to be
at the right time, at the right place
Isn't it, sir?
I am very grateful to Macji for his invaluable time
so he can award certificates to our students
But before that I would request him to say a few words
It would be very nice
Sir, can we hear your famous dialogue from Sholay.
From Sholay.
Fifty thousand in all!
Brilliant! Marvelous!
Sameer, did you talk to Mr Mahesh Bhatt about me or did you forget?
Not now, currently all the films are under production
There's nothing as of now Ch
Abhi, please get my internet connection done today
I'm not your wife, dude
Bye darling See you brother
Why are you wasting your time? He won't do anything for you
He is an assistant with Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt
They keep giving newcomers a break
But will he focus on becoming a director or getting you a break?
Anyway, he has a problem with you
With me? Why?
No particular reason
You go give your photographs at production houses
and in your free time, come do some theatre
Theatre keeps the actor inside you alive
But it's tough for the audience out there to survive
Sona!
Where are you these days?
Around
I saw your show on TV yesterday
Abhimanyu Gupta, the scene with the father was very good
Thank you
Meet Vikram
Hi!
He has come from Delhi to be a movie star
You are in queue Please wait
All the best
Who is she?
Sona, my neighbor
After the success of his film Anjaana...
Dil KiAag. film producer Rommy Rolly is busy with his next film
The director of this film is none other than his younger brother, Ranjit Rolly
Ranjit couldn't make it as an actor, now let's see how he fares as a director
We now take you to the inaugural shot of the film Dil Ki Aag.
Just like the director, it is also the debut of the heroine
Seventies superstar Neena's daughter, Nikki Walia
And as always, once again
Rommy Rolly productions' hero is' you guessed it' Zaffar Khan!
I have left the whole world for you, Rahul
Tell me that you will never leave me
The moon could part with it's light
A blossom could part with it's fragrance
but you and I, could never be apart, Priya
Never ever!
Rahul
Priya
Cut it!
Actually, one day my sister in law, I mean, Mrs Rommy Rolly ji told me
"Ranjit, become a director You are a director"
Mr Rolly has his own style
I have always said that he is
like a father to me
I cannot imagine a film without Zaffar
It just won't come to me
Business is not everything Emotions also count
Actually, I never thought of becoming an actor
I wanted to be a vet, a veterinarian
I would like you all to shower my daughter with the same
love and affection, you have given me over the years
But when mom told me Mr Rommy wants to sign me
I said "what are you saying!"
I got so so nervous
but then I said "why not?"
"I said why not"
Tuesdays and Fridays on this finger
Thank you
And
this is a pearl You should always wear this
This will have a calming effect on your mind
Okay okay
Panditji, he keeps saying okay okay but later does what he wishes
I have told him so many times five is his lucky number
so keep the inaugural shot on the fifth
Stop being childish, Minty
Zaffar was shooting with Mani Ratnam on the fifth
How could he have made it?
Only I know how he has agreed for the ninth
Minty, he doesn't do it for anybody else
That is right Zaffar respects him a lot
After all
I understand the situation of the song
But just two scenes earlier, the heroine has lost her sister
How can she be dancing with me?
The death scene is very tragic
any more and the film would be a tragedy
We have to move from highlight to highlight
But this is not logical
But Zaffar, with so much logic
it's impossible to make a mainstream film
In spite of that we have justified it
The dead sister's friend takes the heroine to the club
The music starts and she begins to dream
Now anything can happen in a dream
Yes
Zaffar just relax Trust me buddy, trust me
Come see the set It is amazing Is that so?
I am treating the whole song like a Broadway musical
Mind blowing Okay, cool
I'll see you on the set Okay
Take your time Alright
Ch my thinking cap
He's an ass
He's a nut!
He's trying to teach me about screenplay You're an actor, just do your job
I too have been an actor
Is the lighting done? Yes, sir
Next thing you know the cameraman is having script issues
When did you become a big star?
Don't act like everyone's waiting for me
Where is the make up room? Back there
Tell them to give you the dead sister's friend's costume
Doesn't the dead sister's friend have a name?
Alka So refer to the character by name
Yes, madam
Alka's costume? Yes, one moment
Here
Don't you have this in another colour?
This is what was given to me
You need something to ward off the evil eye
You look gorgeous Really?
Ratna, apply a black dot on her
Come in
Good morning, Neenaji Good morning, Rommyji
God bless
Just look at this child God bless Touch wood
Nikki, seek his blessings
No, no It's okay
Are you crying?
I can't believe you're crying
I got a little emotional
I'm feeling a little choked
Rommyjil wanted to talk to you Your trailer is on it's way
Thank you, but I wanted to discuss her costumes
I mean, we need more options
Just look at those shoes and bags
Get them from Gucci, Versace
it's Nikki's first film I want the world for her
Yes, yes, of course I like your involvement, I want your involvement
But you always have it Yes, yes of course
You have designed so many costumes, yet she keeps cribbing
Sir, you know the lady, she will double your costume budget
Bloody nonsense
Actresses these days wear such skimpy clothes
How much fabric do you need?
It is all a racket Manish Malhotra, I know it's your racket
Five, six, seven, eight One, two, three, four
Laxmi, what is this?
Is this a dance or a parade?
Come on girls, add some grace
Let's start from the top
First position music
Just wait, two minutes
This song is going to be the highlight of the film
You know the choreographer Hello ma'am Nice meeting you
So you are the star?
The superstar
Will be
Come sit please sit
The shot will begin on an empty stage
and then we'll pan That's my frame
The girl and her dead sister's friend
Trolley, trolley, trolley
I'll go to a big close up of the girl
And that's when the music begins
What do you think? Superb!
I knew it would bloody work!
The drums beat on...
Milk and honey meal all done...
the magician comes along...
Just watch the goings on.
These are colorful times...
these are sparkling times.
It raining a million shining stars.
These carefree bodies...
these agile bodies...
How does one not lose his heart?
I lost my being...
I lost my soul...
I lost my life...
I lost my world...
I lost my mind...
I lost my fight...
I lost it all...
I'm out of sight.
I'm going crazy...
Hear the rhythm... hear the beat.
Listen up! Get off your seat.
I'm going crazy
Some eat fire'
Some walk the tightrope...
Some juggle balls...
Some can lift them all...
Look out’ somebody is spinning like a wheel...
Somebody is throwing himself off the ceiling
Check out these dare devils...
feet up, head down -yet stable
I lost my being...
I lost my soul...
I lost my life...
I lost my world...
I lost my mind...
I lost my fight...
I lost it all...
I'm out of sight.
I'm going crazy...
Hear the rhythm... hear the beat.
Listen up! get off your seat.
I'm going crazy
The evening has brought along colour...
and with it a new rapture.
My lips can only whisper your name...
My eyes are intoxicated by yours...
I would die for you, give my life for you, that's all there is left to do.
You are so lovely...
You are all mine...
You are are my soulmate...
You are my life...
When your eyes flutter...
my heart follows...
I can only sing your praises...
I have lost my heart, what else do I have...
It's all done, nothing more to do.
How do I say, what I have been through.
Hurry up!
Zaffar is amazing He is the best
Did you notice something?
Though Chitrajiis the choreographer, he asks me for the steps
Did you see it too? Yes, I saw
Now most of the actors tell me
"Laxmi, you do the step and show me"
This year, I have to make it as a dance director
I've had enough of being an assistant
And who will give you a break? Why not?
I will definitely swing something
you just keep waiting for that bastard Chowdhary's film to happen
Hi Mohini aunty
Could you lend me five hundred rupees?
I'll return it when I get my allowance day after
I'm sure you will return it, son but do you know what you are doing?
Your father has such a big store in Delhi Help him instead of wasting time here
Every day I read stories
these producers either cast their own sons or some actor's son
Who gives work to outsiders?
I don't mind you staying here but I should at least know till when
Yes?
Hi is Mr Ramesh Taurani in?
And you are? Vikram Jaisingh, I'm an actor
He's sitting in a script meeting
I just need a couple of minutes
His meeting is in progress
Can I wait? Okay
Hi! Hi
What did she say?
She said that he is in a script meeting
and the meeting is in progress
Trust me, just leave your photographs He won't meet you
So what are you waiting for?
I have an appointment for a role of the second lead
This is Raju, he handles my work
Hello Hello
Second lead! Very good
By the way, I'm the parallel heroine in Pinky Productions' next film
Pinky Productions?
Yes, Satish Chowdhary He is a regular producer
He's currently making Love Birds...
the Akshay Khanna Kareena Kapoor starrer
After that my film will begin
They haven't fixed the title yet
There are about ten odd days of the shoot left
It's a regular love story, but it has grandeur
just look at the mounting of the film
You will see each frame and say, "Satish, this is money well spent"
We are down to our last penny on this film
His blood pressure has just shot up
Some more vodka please
My next project is fantastic
I've signed a new director
I shouldn't say this myself, but the script is really powerful
This is the first half and this is the second half
That is secondary, what about the cast?
John Abraham Bipasha Basu And a new girl, which I'll figure
Will John and Bipasha agree?
I'm not exactly a babe in the woods
the director is a close friend of John
No wonder you are giving him a break
Manipulator!
It's dashing!
I know
Sister, please tell Rommy to put in a word for Satish
and introduce him to some corporate financiers
He is reluctant to mention it to his brother in law
Leave it to me I will tell him to refer Satish to the right people
Mr Chowdhary, if a reputed producer like Rommy Rolly recommends you
we will seriously look into your project
That's fantastic, thank you
Mr Rommy probably mentioned to you
that John and Bipasha have been confirmed and dates
And we're very happy
But our basic criteria is this property
In Hollywood, the script is referred to as property
Ah! Over here only real estate is referred to as property
That’s funny You see there content is king
We want to bring that culture to your industry
There needs to be a change in your mindset
Change is indeed taking place, brother
We haven't taken John and Bipasha just because they are stars
Indeed they are stars
But the reason we have taken them is because our script demands it
Absolutely, and the other role
demands a new girl And we will cast a new girl
Mr Ramesh and I had a very cordial meeting
He said, "Raju, I really liked Sona's screen test"
Not the parallel role but that of the hero's sister
Hero's sister? I told him I would get back to him
Who wants to be a sister? Raju, I'll get typecast
That's nonsense
In Josh, Aishwarya played Shah Rukh's sister'
did she get typecast? Her case is different
You know Love Birds is almost complete
Right now is it wise for me to do these small roles?
Just drop it
Okay then, take care Okay, thank you
Again you're waiting outside!?
Does no one want to meet you?
Abhi told me that he would be at home, he'll be here soon
In the meantime, you could offer me a cup of tea
Where did you disappear?
My fridge isn't working I don't have the time to get it fixed
So I keep everything in my neighbor, Mrs Verma's fridge
What a nice neighbor!
Very nice! She charges me for it
Are you serious?
She too has a house to run
Her husband was a stuntman He was shooting a car chase in a film
and the car turned turtle He died on the spot Sugar?
One
Thanks
She's been calling the producer for years, no compensation yet
Where do you live?
Me in Bandra.
Come
Who knows when Abhi will return what's your plan for the day?
Why?
I was the lead in two more films like Teer Aur Talwaar but
it didn't get me anywhere
They only released in small towns
And you're sure that Satish Chowdhary will produce a big budget film with you?
Why not? I mean people just say things at times
No Mr Chowdhary will do that much for me
You're very lucky, Sona
You have someone who is willing to do so much for you
You must be very special to him
He is married
Has kids as well
He has helped me a lot I don't have any complaints
Good You know someone once said
that success and failure are only choices we make
Success and failure are only choices we make
Can I ask you something? What?
Want to eat some bhelpuri?
No Okay
Watch this Take this
You are absolutely dead!
Aww come on!
Karan hey long time
No, no, I'm free, tell me What's up?
Of course, I know you're starting your two hero film
Koi Aane Wala Haiwith Shah Rukh and Armaan
How can I forget?
He what?
He broke his leg! Armaan broke his leg!
Ch my God, that's that's like sad man
Yes
Okay
And when do you start?
Next month
Okay Alright, fine
I will work it out and I will call you back
Yes, alright Bye
All the dates are with Rollyji.
You need to tell Rollyji yourself
It's not in my place to do so
Whenever I say something his retort is, "Zaffar did his first film with me"
Ch yes! Which means my last film ought to be with him too?
I'm still paying tax for that first film!
He never pays me my price
and over that I have to go to his niece's wedding
attend his nephew's birthday What nonsense!
And now he has made Ranjit a director and dropped him into my lap!
And why does that idiot wear a hat all the time?
Throw, throw it
Hey look, Zaffar Khan!
So Sonaji, all going well?
What is this Devraj? Your boss is still in the make up room?
Is there a problem? Seems like it
Really!? Tell me
You read the entire script and said 'fantastic, mind blowing!"
These were your words, darling
I accept, I knew right from the beginning it's a negative role
Not negative, anti hero
Alright, anti hero I am ready to do it
But sir, you don't understand
I
I am not Zaffar Khan
Zaffar Khan is an image He's
he's an icon
I work for Zaffar Khan and he keeps asking me
"do you have the consent of my fans to play this kind of character?"
We'll change the script
we'll make the character positive
There, I spoke to him
Did you see this? Glitter's latest issue
I will be writing a regular column from this month
Every month!
A Little Bird Told Me', how is the title?
Want to hear some gossip? But don't quote me
Zaffar is having serious issues on Dil KiAag.
With the script and the director
How do you know?
Someone told me Somebody very close to Zaffar
I can't disclose the name Ch come on, Sona
Come on, Tanveer
I don't believe this Make the character positive?
I don't have a problem but Rollyji, how do we do it?
If I should tell you this then why have I hired you as a writer?
No, I mean, let's think about it
but the truth is that the script is exactly like the DVD Ranjit gave me
What?
This film was a blockbuster in the U S Super hit!
But Ranjit this is India The audience here is different
And don't think that I am telling you this because of Zaffar
I always thought his character should have been positive
Sir, how about this? The cops don't catch him in the end
Then?
I mean, since he is in love, his conscience rebukes him
After that, we could add a scene in a temple
or a monologue in front of the mirror
Sir, I know it's a cliché but if done with conviction, it'll work
We'll cut to an empty frame
and in the empty frame a close up of a noose
In a flash, the hero appears in the close up
The hero looks at the noose
The noose is swinging, it's symbolic
The hero contemplates, should he or should he not commit suicide
then he takes the noose, kisses it and puts it around his neck
Hey, film school
I'm not making this film for the festivals
I was just thinking aloud
Brother, don't mind me saying this
but I suspect foul play in this
What is this? Do you only eat packaged food?
Who has the time to cook?
One should do it
Black lentils, butter chicken, roti
it reminds me of home
Then go back
By the way
I know a great chicken recipe
Should I buy some?
And where will you keep it?
Your fridge is no longer amongst us
Do you want a new fridge? What do you mean?
I mean
you won't even need to buy it
You can win it in this contest
Look at this Write a caption
if you win, the fridge is yours
You think, if I fill the form, I stand any chance of winning?
I feel if you don't fill this form, you have no chance of winning
Sorry, I don't know English that well
That's what I am here for
"No frost, no cost" What do you think?
You're very smart
So you and Sona out shopping!
It's not what you think It will be
Persistence pays!
Don't pay any attention to him and concentrate on the job at hand
Abhi when did you become so boring? Yes Shagun, tell me
Three months after college No, no, I will reach the location by six A M
Ch shit
but I I
Listen, I'll call you back
Shit
What happened? What's wrong?
We need a grandfather clock tomorrow for the first shot
The lead actor is going to New Zealand for a month
Mukesh Bhatt will kill me
Where will you find a grandfather clock?
Did you try Chor Bazaar? It doesn't open so early in the morning
Someone you know must have one Think, can you think of anyone?
Anyone? Your grandfather
Abhi, shut up I'm serious Dude, I think you are going to get your arse kicked
Aunt Mohini, you let me stay in your home and loved me as a son
I may not be anything today but I wish to repay you in some way
I am taking your grandfather clock to get it polished
I know this memory of uncle Arun is very dear to you
Tomorrow when this clock comes back polished
and I see the joy on your face, I will feel blessed
Your loving nephew, Vikram
This is a miracle! Thanks Thanks a lot
Hey Rajan, quickly take this inside Let me know the hire charges
Forget the charge, just get it polished
Consider it done, the boys will take care of it
Come, I'll introduce you to Emraan Hashmi
we're filming another one of his trademark kissing scenes
Hey spot boy, bring two cups of ginger tea
Is Mr Mahesh Bhatt around?
No, he's out of town again for week
Ch by the way, what are you doing this evening?
Nothing much
You want to come for the premiere of Pyar Hua Tumse?
I have two invites
Come on, let's go in
Looking good Let's go in
I've never worked with Rani in my career
she's a fantastic actress and a very sweet girl
Shabanaji, hypocrisy demands that one praises the film
But why did he make such a bad film?
Then he has the gall to say that even though the reviews are bad
the audience reaction is very good
I said, "sir, when there is no audience where is the reaction coming from?"
I just loved working with Akshay
in fact this is the first film we are doing together
But the experience was lovely I had a great time
Scotch! Of course
Thanks for bringing me along
Any time
Hello how are you?
Good to see you
Ma'am would you like to have a glass of champagne?
Yes please Thank you
Hello
Thank you
"Hello"
I want to meet Nikki Walia
Another hello?
She is with her mother Neena She'll kill you
We'll see
You promised Yes, of course
Mom She's boring!
Good evening
Good evening, Neenaji
Please say something so
I can tell my friends that Neena Walia spoke to me
All the best
May I tell you something strange?
In a way, I'm in this world because of you
Excuse me?
You see, my parents were in the same college
They initially became friends as both were your ardent fans
So you see, in a way I'm in this world because of you
How sweet
Few years ago, they saw you at a party
My dad had said, "you know Vikram
she was the most beautiful woman in the room"
That's kind of him
I shall call him today and tell him
she's still the most beautiful woman in the room
Thank you, Vikram
Vikram Jaisingh
My daughter, Nikki
Okay then, bye ma'am
Bye
You know, when the kids of this generation say such things
one really feels alive
Trust me mom, you're still alive
Shubna you are the editor of Glitter You know my rapport with Zaffar
He's like a son to me I know
But I have heard from a very reliable source that he is not doing your film Rommy
He has given all your dates to Karan Johar
Are you serious? I just want you to know
Is this a joke?
Sir, would I lie to you? Sir, I am waiting for him at the office
All you secretaries are liars!
I swear on my mother, sir!
Shut up you cheat! Bloody manipulator!
No, sir I really have no idea where he is
If you don't know, then who does? Sir
Who knows?
Ask Zaffar's mother and call me back in two minutes, you bloody idiot
Are you wearing the pearl ring?
Why are you getting upset at lunchtime?
Come on, the parathas are hot
I have lost faith in this industry, Minty
Rommy
Don't be like that
You know how people are in this place
Don't take these things so seriously How can I not?
He is not taking my calls or replying to my messages
This is too much
Is this any way to behave?
This generation doesn't have any manners
There was a time when film making was a joy
it's not the same anymore
Actors young enough to be our children make me chase them for dates
Is this appropriate?
After all these years nobody respects me
Don't say that, Rommy
Everyone respects you a lot
Trust me, people really look up to you
One by one they have all left
now it's just these bare walls
and the deafening silence dwelling within
which asks me, "Devdutt
at this juncture of conscience and convenience
which path will you take?"
My heart asks me
why this confusion you fool?
You will be faced with a juncture at every step
You are only human
and this your fate
The twin paths of conscience and convenience
Abhi is very talented
And hard working too
You know
he's been rehearsing the same play for two months
everyday
He'll get a break somewhere
I hope so
Why do you say that?
He's content
No fire in the belly
And you?
You're done
One moment Eyelash
I don't want it
Why not? Don't you want to make a wish?
I don't need to
Confidence
And now riding on the wings of the wind
the eyelash shall descend carrying with it your wish
slowly towards the earth
into the waiting arms of an open sewer
Shut up!
Rommyji, I'm so sorry
You know my sister in Chicago
there was a family emergency and I
Everything is okay now, isn't it?
Yes and no
Rommyji, I was wondering
how much sugar will you take?
No I'm on a diet
Okay
I have been thinking
that I haven't taken a break in three years
That's true You have a lot of work
His blessings are with you
But for how long can I continue?
I mean, I'm working like a machine
I am becoming mechanical
Darling, even if you do a bad job you will be better than the others
Thank you Rommyji...
You are like a father to me God bless
I need a favor from you
Tell me, son
Relieve me from this film
You can't be serious Sir, please
You are leaving my film? You won't work with me?
Can I even dare to think so?
We aren't bound by one film alone
We'll do the next one We'll do ten more
But I really really need a break, Rommyji
I'm genuinely sorry about your losses
I actually want to Don't worry about that
He should have at least thought that
my daughter's future is also involved
Now what can I say?
He tells me, 'the heroine has the better role, what am I doing?"
I said, "darling, you might be a huge star but I fancy this script"
"The script will remain untouched"
He said, "then it will be difficult for me"
I told him, "you're most welcome to go"
Who will you cast now?
Don't worry, Neenaji everybody wants to work in Rollywood.
Wasn't Zaffar doing this film?
Rommy uncle, I have just done three dramatic roles
one after the other
I can't even use dates as an excuse
Come on Rommy uncle, you are embarrassing me
I feel that it would be a bit controversial if I did this film
Don't you think?
I'm really looking forward to doing something light right now
I want to do something out of the box
something experimental
Rommy uncle, you are like a father to me
By the way, dad was asking about you He said to say hi
You do understand, don't you?
Sorry
I can give you dates in 2015
Ready? My shot's ready, I'll be back
No
sorry
You had said, "content is king Script is property"
"you want to change the star culture"
And now you are asking me, "who is the hero?"
What can we do, Mr Rolly
we are answerable to our shareholders
Sir, we were thinking of going ahead with Mr Chowdhary's project
After all you did recommend him
On my recommendation you aren't backing my project You're unbelievable!
Rommyji, he's Mr Dinyar Sadri, my old
now how shall I put it? Friend
I won't tell you how old our association is
because you might guess my age
You still look young, Neena
You're such a charming liar, Dinyar Ch stop it
Wow
He felt very bad when I told him what happened
He said, on his own, "Neena, let me finance it"
Wow!
Okay listen, Mr Roly
Rolly, sir Sure
Besides Neena I have no other contacts in the film industry
Except that my grandfather and Sohrab Modi lived in the same building
Ch wow, very good
I'm a shipping man
I'll sign the agreement After that I want nothing to do with it
But
Neena's the boss
Wow!
Rommyji...
any thoughts on the hero?
Neenaji, I've thought a lot and I've realized
that Zaffar's exit is a blessing in disguise
This role demands a new face
New face?
Sir, even if I get these actors for free I won't sign them
New face?
A star's son would have been good This new face, I don't know?
Dharmji has only two sons? Bobby and Sunny?
Pinky, please
Had you told him 20 years ago that one more son would be needed
he wouldn't have refused
You guys are always pulling her leg
Can we help it if your sister is such a genius?
You're too much
Ch stop it Why don't you guys suggest someone?
Congratulations I just read the news
About what?
The announcement
the one about John and Bipasha
Yes, the news is out
You should introduce me to the director now
I'm shooting at Filmistan studio tomorrow
be there around two thirty
Okay done
My film is starting
What!? That's great
Congratulations Thank you
Come, have a drink
Very nice Who is the photographer?
This guy called Abheet
What's so funny?
What do you think?
What is this?
"What is this?"
There are various angles
different expressions and some straight shots
One of them should click
Very good
Having a cheesy portfolio and attending premiere parties
is not going to get you a break
Why are you dredging this up?
If you are upset that
your friend took me for that party, why take it out on the pictures
I'm not taking it out on the pictures, I'm giving you good advice
You can't become an actor by mere posturing
This is not the way
Abhi
Really? You know the way?
Then why are you still stuck here?
Guys stop it What?
Who says I'm stuck?
I do two shows on television, I'm well respected in theatre
and by the way, neither do I call home for money
nor do I borrow from friends
I'll return your money for sure but today your true self has come forth
Since you have seen me now hear me out also
Guys please, stop Don't get involved, Sameer
You're wasting your time, Vikram Jaisingh
You aren't an actor and you will never be one
I suggest you go back to Delhi and manage your father's shop
You guys Vikram, Vikram
Where are you going? Hold on
What is he talking about?
He used to go around penniless in Delhi
I have lent him money umpteen times Paid for his movie tickets
Don't take him seriously
Just because he lent me money once
Let it go, he's drunk
So what if he's drunk, he's still my friend
He's telling me I'm no good, that I should go back to Delhi
You don't need to go back
I really liked your photographs You have the spark that's needed here
Look at me I had to wait a bit but
when I am getting such a big break, nothing can stop you
You know you're good
you know it
Sona you were fast asleep, I didn't feel like waking you up
I couldn't congratulate you properly due to yesterday's fight, so I'm doing it now
I wish your film happens soon and is a super hit
I love you, Vikram
The sun peeps in from my window...
His rays seem to have found a way.
They're laughing on their way in...
All the sleep in this room has flown away.
Hope took a U-turn and came back to stay.
She's returned home to me.
I have no idea what this is...
whatever it is, it's something new.
My astonished heart lost it's way...
What is it that's happened today?
The world is going to change... life is going to get better...
I don’t know why I feel so.
My heart takes a leap, buds start to bloom.
The wind gently whispers in my ear...
He's nice Where do you find such guys?
Get me one as well Shut up!
Let me have them, I'll be back
Come in
Have you seen today's Mid Day?
John's interview is featured He said that he is working in your film
Yes, I saw it
And the director Kabir Kaushal? Did you speak to him?
Yes, I spoke to him but there is a problem
What's the problem?
He wants a new girl for the second role He's very clear about it
Yes but I am new
How is that so?
You have acted in Teer Aur Talwaar...
two regional films and those countless bit roles
But you told me to do them
Every time I asked you, you said, "go ahead, no problem"
Listen, I don't want to have a pointless discussion
Pointless discussion!?
You promised me you'd give me a proper break
Now after wasting three years of my life you tell me that this is a pointless discussion
Don't act like, if it wasn't for me, you would have been a big star
The industry has changed
These days supermodels, Miss World, Miss Universe
they are cast as heroines
But I have talent, I can act Who wants that?
I don't want to hurt you but let's be honest
no established actor will want to work with you
So you' won't make this film with me
No, it just isn't possible
Sona
Listen Sona, I really like you
Keep in touch, I will do whatever I can for you
Please don't create a scene, I'm really stressed
Satish, I've been looking all over for you
What happened?
What happened, Satish?
Don't you recognize her? She has acted in our films
Teer Aur Talwaar, Roma Darling. She's Sona Mishra
But what happened?
I'm sorry I have some problems at home
I came to give him these pictures
Are they yours?
No, my cousin's
In case there is a role, let him know
Yes, of course We will
Thank you thank you
Why was she crying?
Same old story "I'm in need of money"
Ruined my mood
The boy isn't bad, take a look
Your judgment is always right
Reject, reject, oh my God
What are you doing? Put the rejects here and the good ones there
But there aren't any good ones
What are these faces?
There was once a time when we had handsome actors like
Dharmendra, Dev Anand, Shammi Kapoor and look at this bunch
May I come in?
Pinky, come in Hi Pinks
What a surprise, what brings you here?
I had some pictures so I thought maybe you could use them
Mind blowing, the more the merrier
Ch Pinky, the casting director!
Don't be silly
At times like these, only the family cares
That is true, that is true
Anyway you're here at a good time Today's lunch is from Mainland China.
Babloo, set the table
Then what about the diet food that has come from home?
Hello Yes, who is it?
One moment
Vikram, there's a call for you from Rommy Rolly Productions
Just a moment, aunt Mohini, tell them to hold on
You'll wet the whole floor, it's just a phone call
Hello Yes, speaking
No, it's fine I'll be there
May I ask for which role?
No, it's okay I'll be there
Bye And thank you
Vikram
The other night I got a bit too drunk
I'm sorry
I'm really sorry
So my place again, tonight?
A few more drinks?
Hi!
Guess what?
Rommy Rolly Productions has called me for an audition
What's the matter?
What happened?
That Satish Chowdhary film
It's been shelved
No, it's being made
But I'm not in it
Maybe I'm not destined for this
Not destined?
Look at me, Sona Look at me
What is destiny?
It's a concept for those who don't have the courage to shape their own lives
Have I not been courageous? And what did I get?
After three years he tells me I'm not good enough
He's a bastard!
And you're going to let a bastard decide whether you're good enough?
Tell me something
You came to Mumbai to star in Chowdhary's film or to be an actor?
All this while you put your faith in someone else
now have some faith in yourself
Opportunities aren't always given, they have to be created
Success doesn't come knocking
we have to go after it
Keep moving towards your goal
keep moving
Slowly the whole world will move with you
Garden to garden runs the boy
Buthe will never make the butterfly his toy
Who will tell this little fool?
That whatever you look for in this world...
You can always find within you.
Eyes filled with dreams See no sleep and no peace
Hi, Vikram Jaisingh
Fill this form and sit there May I use this?
See no sleep and no peace
Hello friends my name is Prabhu Kumar
Pritam Vishwas
And my mobile number
I've come from Jammu
Delhi
Rishikesh
Luck now
Punjab
Benaras
Nagpur
Shimla
Calcutta for the audition
Lot of experience in modeling TV shows- I've done theatre also
And in two years I have done only one commercial
When one chooses to go down this path
He’ll reach the end to find yet another road start
A sun scorched road that will burn his feet
He may reach a bend but no refuge from the heat The traveler will just keep walking on
Will you help fill this form for me? It's in English
What's your name? Rao Devendra
Your age? Twenty two
Bhupesh
Eyes filled with dreams
See no sleep and no peace
Eyes filled with dreams
See no sleep and no peace
The question is not whether I live or die
but the question is
the question is
whether the maker and the ruler of this world
exists or not
if not, then what is life and death it's all futile
and if he does exist, then Thank you, that was good
Sir, it was not perfect, please No, we're done
Why doesn't he answer the prayers of his people?
Ma'am, one chance please We'll call you back
Why doesn't he answer the prayers of his people?
I'll do, ma'am, better than this
Why doesn't he answer the prayers of his people?
What looks like an ocean from afar
Do you know if it's sand or truly the sea
Just as day is different from night
Happiness is different from peace
But the ones who understand are the eyes which can see
Vikram Can I get a couple of minutes?
That peace is permanent and happiness temporary
Eyes filled with dreams
See no sleep and no peace
Eyes filled with dreams
See no sleep and no peace
Vikram Jaisingh!
Yes
For which role did they call you?
They didn't say anything
They just asked for my name, age, height
gave me some lines I said them and came back
Must be needing extras If Rommy Rolly could help it
he would even cast a star to say "run, fire fire"
You think I should send my pictures?
Just in case there are two-three parts
You should try
and if he does exist, then the question is
When will he answer the prayers of his people?
He's good, he's good
Short list him
Among all these chimps, at least we've found one Tarzan
So how many short listed?
Two
There is still one more test
Let's see it
Rolling
Action
My name is Vikram Jaisingh I'm 25 years old
My height is five feet nine inches
I have done my diploma from Nand Kishore acting school and
I used to do theatre in Delhi
I think theatre has kept the actor inside me alive
The question is not whether I live or die But the question is
whether the maker and the ruler of this world exists or not?
If not, then what is life and death, it's all futile And if he does exist
then the question is
why won't he answer the prayers of his people?
He has a sincerity about him
All that is fine Which of these is a better dancer?
Yes, please note
these days the hero dances more than the heroine
I have seen him somewhere I know this boy
Harveer Yes?
Some more pictures have come
We already have three short listed
But he's so cute Why are you increasing our work?
Let me see
In the 24 lens you can see the depth of the entire screen
And then a tight close up
Tomorrow you have to enact this scene with Nikki Walia
Yes, sir
Sir, is this the lead role?
Of course!
Sir, thank you very much
Don't thank me just yet Nothing has been decided
Yes
I too have been an actor
Confidence is a good thing, but one shouldn't be overconfident
You're absolutely right, sir
I'll see you tomorrow
Hey tell me
How do you know Neena Walia?
I hardly know her sir I've only met her once
Right, she thought she had seen you
Did she see my screen test?
Her daughter is the heroine of this movie
My brother, Neenaji and I The decision has to be taken by the three of us
Of course
Hi, I'm Kunal Khanna
I'm here to meet Ranjit Rolly for a screen test
Please be seated Thanks
You are also here for the test?
In that case why did I bother to come
You never know
I know
I was here to pick up the sides yesterday
and I overheard Mr Ranjit talking about you
About me?
What was he saying?
He said you're Kunal, right? Yes
He said Kunal has that confidence
that aggression which is needed for the role
Really? Yes
Vikram Jaisingh
Good luck
Er Nikki?
Ch I'm really sorry
Hello, ma'am Hello
I'll just get her Hurry up
How are you?
Haven't we met before?
Yes, at the premiere party of Pyar Hua Tumse.
I'm the one who is in this world because of you
Ch yes! How can I forget that
Ratna, leave her hair open with this outfit
Open your hair, you look so beautiful
I told her that
Hurry up
Wow
She reminds me of you from that rain song in Do Pal.
Your saree was the same shade of pink, right?
You have a great memory!
Are you nervous?
A little bit
You don't need to be
Cool
Do you want to go over the lines? No, it's okay
Ready, sir Alright
Taking and
action!
Why is it, Priya? What?
That you can feel so close to someone you have met just once?
This question can't be answered with mere words Rahul
But what can't be said with words
can be said with flowers
Here
What is he doing? I'm sorry
There weren't any flowers so I thought I should give her something
Well, it's not that bad
I Okay, come on let's take it from the top
Yes, sir No more horsing around
Come on stop giggling Taking
Yes, order sir
Okay, no joking and
action!
Why is it, Priya? What?
That you can feel so close to someone you have met just once?
That's the boy! He is so charming
No, no Neenaji, you can't be serious?
See the other boy, Kunal He's like a young Shammi Kapoor
No, this Vikram is better Have you seen Kunal's test?
Too over confident That kind of aggression will irritate today's audience
But look at his body Shoot a few scenes with his shirt off
Sister in law, help I agree with Neenaji.
Even, I prefer Vikram There is something cute about him
Ranjit, I think he'll drive the girls crazy
Really? I like Vikram
And that's final
Vikram, where have you been? I'm right here
And your screen test, what did they say?
They said exactly what they should have
I'm sorry
Sorry?
Sonaji, I got the role
They've given me the lead role! No!
I'm the lead!
I won't divulge any details There was some opposition for you
But I said, "no! This is the boy I want in the film"
After all, you are the boss, sir I'm only here because of you
God willing you will sign a lot of films Touchwood!
What was Zaffar when he came here? Now look at him
Who is the maker? You are, sir
Okay guess how much I paid Zaffar for his first movie?
How would I know, sir?
Take a guess Think of an amount Any amount
Sir, I have no idea
Fifty thousand!
I have a connection with five Five is my lucky number
R OL I Y! Five!
And this very number will be your ticket from ground zero to the stars
Nikki I love Puppies
My weakness Chocolate
My colour Pink
I hate Spiders
Hi baby
Vikram called he said, "Ma'am, thank you so much"
"I'm only here because of you" Sweet of him, isn't it?
I've asked him to come here for the rehearsals
Over here? Yes, it would be nice
Excuse me ma'am, it would be great to have a picture with both of you
Are you mad? I mean, can't you see my state
Take her picture against that wall outside It'll look good Okay?
My favourite person My mother
Tell me something juicy about your boyfriend
Why?
Rommy Rolly and Shubna are very close
Now Vikram is the lead in his film
I will have to write something
Shubna won't do this for free
You won't do it for free Then why should I?
If your boyfriend becomes a huge star
then you shall be the star wife
You'll be shopping in Rome, Milan and Paris
And you'll make statements about your star husband, that
He is so busy Sometimes I feel bad for him Poor baby '
May God grant you every joy and success
I have to be there by 11
Mohini aunty
I was thinking of asking dad for a loan
I should organize an apartment at the earliest
Why? Is my house too small for you now?
You can stay here as long as you wish
I like having you around
This is my room
Have a seat You
you live in a cake Shut up!
That's Gapuchee!
Who? Gapuchee, my little doggy
Vikram, say hi
Hi, Gapuchee
"My sister would never commit suicide She was shh tabbed!"
Hold on, ma'am Yes?
Not shh-tabbed. The word is stabbed
shh-tabbed. It's stabbed Stabbed
Shh tabbed
I'll have to murder Excuse me?
Ma'am, let's replace the word 'stabbed'
with 'murder' Now your line is
"She was murdered"
Shall we proceed? Okay
She was very happy She was in love
And in love people can a give up their life
or take a life
Nikkiji, your line
Your line!
What's my line?
Vikram
Come in
Hi, Neenaji. Hi, Vikram
Nikki mentioned that you aren't feeling well
It's just a cold
Come sit
Here
Thanks
So how are the rehearsals coming along?
Not bad
All this has only started now
We used to get our dialogues on the set
In spite of that
you have given such amazing performances
Have you signed your contract?
I have been called to the office tomorrow
How much are they paying you?
Mom!
It's okay
They said fifty thousand
Fifty thousand!? That's it? That's it?
Rommyji said something about five being his lucky number
If Rolly had his way, his lucky number would be zero
I'll speak to him
No, Neenaji, please don't bother
He may get offended that I mentioned it to you
Nothing of the sort will happen
I've recommended you
Don't worry
So now I am getting five lakhs
Imagine, five lakhs
All courtesy Neenaji.
All courtesy Neenaji or did you use your charm?
See, my grandmother used to say
"if you want to make dessert you will have to add sugar"
You're such a rogue
And what's that Nikki like?
Nothing special
She loves her doggy Gapuchee a whole lot
You'll be gone for a month
I'll get bored
Why?
Sing some sad songs
"Never say goodbye"
It's beautiful!
Do you know, Minty dear?
Earlier all Hindi films were shot in India only
This location is no less than Switzerland
No Pinky?
It's very pretty!
Rommyjilf you had a star in your film
then even you would've been abroad
You have a point
Good observation, Neena madam
But what matters is that I'm happy with this location
And I'm happy with this boy
I want you to sit on the other horse
Even though Vikram is a theatre actor, he is very dashing
isn't he, Satish?
Ch alright
Nowadays a lot theatre actors are heading to Bollywood
Please, don't use the word Bollywood
I hate that word
We are the Hindi Film Industry
Excuse me
Haven't done a thing and I'm already tired
By the time this film is over, she would've fried your brain
Actually, she's not a bad person
Actually, poor thing, she is very 'complexed'
The sequence begins with the heroine's horse getting out of control
She is screaming, "help, help" and all that
From this side the hero comes ridding
and he jumps
grabs the girl, and falls on the slope with her
And then I'll go into slow motion
Look at this! I have goose bumps
Romance and thrill together
Thank you
Cut it! Good shot, guys
Are you okay?
Saturn is on the rise
A family member may be the cause for some mental trauma
We all know that
The next few weeks could see a romance bloom
You heard that?
What's you zodiac sign?
Capricorn
I'm a Virgo
Nikki!
Have you come here to hang out?
Did you work out today?
There is a lot of money riding on your waistline
I'm coming with you
Sorry
but that was necessary
The girls of this generation
zero dedication
That's precisely why, Neenaji...
there is nobody like you
Doctor hurry, the patient in bed number seven is collapsing
Ch my God! Cut!
Good
Sir, was that okay? Yes, thank you You're done
You're still here? I'll leave when you tell me your plan
You've conveniently decided not to go for the outdoor shoot
It doesn't work like that
You've already shot a scene for that film
Weren't you in the song!?
But that was with Zaffar Khan It will have to be reshot in any case
Why should you care about that? You just do your role
Raju, try and understand, now Vikram is the lead
If I go and do a random role it will be very awkward
I am fed up, Sona
First it was Chowdhary, now Vikram
and this bit role hangup
Wake up! Nobody is making a Mother India with you
Fine! Then don't manage my work from today Okay?
Okay madam! It isn't like I have any shortage of work
Hi May I come in?
I've come to apologize
Today's shoot got delayed because of me
Actually my dressman forgot to get my costume
It's okay
Sit
You must've noticed
that I am wearing blue, black and grey in all the serious scenes
It's my characterization
It's very good
Colour scheme is really crucial for a good performance
Where is Neenaji?
She's sleeping
Mom's too strict
If she found out that I am here at this time, she'd be very angry
But
she's sleeping
And Tanya?
Watching a movie
Hey
nice jacket
Is it yours?
All the clothes in this room are mine
Except the ones you are wearing
You are very funny
You want something to drink?
Do you know what Tanya says about you?
What does she say?
She says, "he's very funny"
She's my best friend
I could tell her anything, she would never tell anybody
Never!
You are a very lucky girl
I've heard that so many times
Everybody believes that star kids have it easy
But it's not that easy
So much is expected of us
Now I am going to be compared to my mom you know
So what?
She maybe Neena
but then you're Nikki
If the crew found out that I was in your room
what do you think they would say?
People are so narrow minded
Do you have a girlfriend?
No
I've never had a boyfriend
Can you believe it?
Totally
What time did you sleep last night?
Your eyes are so puffy
Suresh
Yes, ma'am
Fix it
You should pay more attention
I am going to Mumbai tomorrow
And when will you be back?
In about two or three days
I have a meeting with Dinyar
Mom
even Tanya was wanting to go back
I'll be so lonely
Bye guys have a safe journey
Bye Tanya Bye
When the wind sings tales of our love
The song is heard from the earth below to the sky above
When the wind sings tales of our love
The song is heard from the earth below to the sky above
It's what gives the flowers and buds their fragrance
It's what gives the mountains and streams their magic
It's the reason why
The valleys and streets are alive
When the wind sings tales of our love
The song is heard from the earth below to the sky above
There is a sweetness in this solitude Even the weather has a laid back attitude
Every desire my heart has ever known Feels like it wants to stretch and moan
At least don't come so close to me
Why should this story be left incomplete
Saying it all isn’t necessary
It's why i yearn even though I see you
It's why I long for another day to be with you
It's why even this distance seems beautiful
When the wind sings tales of our love
The song is heard from the earth below to the sky above
And cut! Rewind that
Laxmi, where are you?
I'm glad you called, I was just dialing your number
Why? Is everything okay? I don't know
What do you mean?
Is something on between Vikram and Nikki?
Don't be silly I speak to him all the time
he only makes fun of her
Anyway, don't think so much Ask me where I'm calling from
Where are you? At Vikram's hotel
What?! Don't tell him I want to surprise him
When did you get here? Only just
You're completely mad, any way call me in the evening, we'll catch up
Okay, I'll call you later
Vikram Yes
Is tomorrow six thirty a good time? Yes, six thirty is good
Thank you
Autograph please?
Hi!
Don't look so shocked
I thought I would surprise you Yes, I am surprised
What's the matter?
No, it's nothing Come
You didn't need to come all this way
I would've been back in a couple of days
But now it's great that you're here
Where are you staying?
I'll have to figure it out I thought I'd stay with you
That might be a little awkward
I'm here at the producers' expense
after all I'm a newcomer
You know what I mean?
Don't worry My friend Laxmi is staying at the other hotel
I'll stay with her It's no problem
How will you go?
I'll organize a car for you
No need I know where it is It's close by
Actually, today we are rehearsing the song
We could meet for dinner tomorrow night
Is there something on between you and Nikki Walia?
Not at all Who told you?
Sona
I'm absolutely sure
You know that chick's hairdresser, Ratna?
She told me
The other morning she went into her room and her bed wasn't slept in
You get what I mean, don't you?
Neena is coming back today
but that's not going to affect their fun and games
That Neena pops a pill and she's out
What then?
Where are you going now? I need to talk to him
Have you completely lost it?
Listen
your self respect is in your hands
What are you going to go there and do? Fight with him?
Make a laughingstock of your Laughingstock?
I'm his girlfriend
Sona, when are you going to understand this world
That boy has got a break in this huge film
Don't you get it?
Nobody is anything to him now
Please sit down
Hello, Neenaji.
Ch God
How many suitcases did you bring?
You know, major actresses take up to 20 suitcases on outdoor shoots
Really!? Yes
So how many suitcases to go for you to become a major actress?
You're very funny
How long have these two been at it?
Nothing of the sort, ma'am They're friends, they share a few laughs
One tight slap and all your teeth will fly out
You think I was born yesterday!
Why so serious? Smile
There are very good reports about our film
Tomorrow when you go back
the media will be chasing both of you
Enjoy it
But be very careful
You see, the media thrives on sensation
and if they suspect that there is something between the two of you
But there's nothing like that
I know, of course
The two of you are friends and share a few laughs with each other
Look what should happen now
is that every girl should want you for her boyfriend
And every boy should desire you as his girlfriend
And if that doesn't happen
it's not good for your image
But, mom She's right, Nikki
I mean why should anyone even get the wrong impression
He got what I said
For instance, you shouldn't be sitting this close
I can't believe the film is over It's just gone by too soon
It's a suspense thriller, but it's also a musical love story
I know you are angry with me, but
I really need to talk to you
I came over to your house a few days ago, but you weren't there
I have found an apartment in Versova.
Some friends are coming over this evening
if you can make it
just come over, if you are free
Please come
do you remember I was writing a script?
Yes
Would you be interested in a narration?
Definitely man But will you give me two or three days?
Sure, take your time
but I have a fantastic role for you
Cheers!
Such a deep thought
I was just thinking how life changes overnight in this city
Anew house, new car
Between you and me
I had to take a loan from dad
New girlfriend, new friends
I can't believe we're on the cover of Glitter.
Why? Where else would we be?
And here I present my star couple
Ready, smile please Smile for the camera my dears
Earlier your debut was opposite Zaffar Khan
but now with a newcomer So how does it feel?
Every artiste makes it on his own talent
How does it matter who you star with?
She has done a good work I have liked it
And about his work
I don't want to exaggerate, touchwood
Volcano of talent
Write my words please Volcano of talent
Sonny boy Bring the pakoras here
You know a friend of mine
Sona, Sona Mishra
Ch so you're that Tanveer
Who is Sona?
A mutual friend of ours
Pakoras? No, sir
Hi Nikki!
Hi! How are you?
Very well
This is Vikram
Hi! Hi
Nice house Thank you
He was feeling very awkward to come
Don't be silly You can come over anytime
Thanks Just kidding
What will you have to drink?
Cheers!
You're good? Yes
What?
Give me a second Sure
Hi How are you? Good
And you? I'm alright
Getting along
This is Vikram
Hi All well?
Yes I think so
Let's see how it goes
I'm sure it will all play out well Good luck
Thanks
Give my regards to your mother
See you
So Rommy uncle's hero just met Rommy uncle's discovery
What do you think?
Not bad Potential
Did he thank you?
For what?
I mean he's only at this party because you left that film
Ch come on! It's a fact
This is how outsiders enter the industry
Someone writes an unconventional role
Amajor star refuses the part
And a newcomer gets a break
Simple
For example?
Darr, Baazigar...
Lots of stars turned them down
Finally one man did it
Shah Rukh Khan
Of course Zanjeer.
Seven stars turned it down
Finally the role went to a struggling actor, whose name is
Amitabh Bachchan
Correct! So you never know
And why didn't you tell me all this earlier?
Well, you never asked
Come in, Tanveer Sit
I've got a job for you
Nikki and her co-star are having an affair
Vikram Jaisingh?
Nikki has a friend Tanya
she lives in Bandra.
Well that's where they have their rendezvous
Are you sure?
Don't ask me stupid questions Just go follow the story
Yes, ma'am Thank you
Sona it's me Tanveer
Sona, I need to talk to you It's regarding Vikram
I know you are inside
Open the door Sona
Why are you creating a ruckus?
Why are you disturbing everyone?
The debutant leading man in producer Rommy Rolly's Dil kI aag...
is a Delhi boy, Vikram Jaisingh
His middle name could very well be 'the user'
Word is that he treats most people as stepping stones
The first rung on the ladder of his cold blooded ambition was a poor little starlet, Sona Mishra
Vikram practically lived in her house
In fact she supported him the most during his struggling days
But people like Vikram don't understand the meaning of the word gratitude
On getting a break he turned his attention to both Neena and Nikki Walia
The mother's colorful past is well known
it seems the daughter is no less
Here was a boy who managed to charm both mother and daughter
A member of the unit told us that on the outdoor shoot
Vikram would focus on Neena during the day and
on Nikki during the long drawn nights
On coming back Vikram didn't waste anytime before dropping poor Sona Mishra
Because he knew that being linked to an unknown starlet would not be
good for his image as a lead actor
And now perhaps he is waiting for the release and success of his first film
So he would get a chance to kick both Neena and Nikki on their faces
and look for new pastures
How could you even dare to print this kind of filth
You frustrated bitch
No you shut up and listen
If you don't print an apology for Nikki and me in your next edition
Don't forget my name is Neena I'll come to your office
and take that rag of a magazine and shove it up your arse
Stupid bitch!
I told you to stay away from him
But mom, how is this Vikram's fault?
You're right He hasn't said anything
Shubna must have had a vision
If you meet that boy again trust me I'll break your legs
But you told me you didn't have a girlfriend
Sona is not my girlfriend
She's just a friend
Don't lie to me
What are you doing? Are you mad?
This is my first cover story This!
It's totally worked for you
You should have thought about me also
Worked for me? Obviously
You are crazy!
This article is calling me "a ruthless, selfish user"
and you think it's worked for me? Yes
If a Delhi boy who till yesterday was a nobody
has details about his affair with Neena's daughter published
It can only benefit him
Mom was right You know
I am sick of you and your mom
Instead of listening to her bullshit, if you work on your acting skills
even you might stand to benefit
How dare you talk to me like this?
Nikki Don't you ever call me again
How many times I've come over How many times I've called you
Can't you reply?
Can't you understand that I don't want to talk to you?
You don't want to talk to me but you desire to talk to the press is fulfilled
What? Here look at this
Look at it Is this why you are here?
You think I had something to do with this? Who else could've done this?
Look at the byline It's your friend, Tanveer
Tanveer writes something and I'm responsible?
Get this My first film is about to release and I don't need this shit
What shit? Only I know how I've come this far
I've worked very hard for this
This is my one shot at success Why do you want a slice of it?
Me?
If you are so keen on seeing yourself in the press
why don't you do something worthwhile?
Talking about me is not going to help you
Do you understand that?
Excuse me!
Hi Sona What is this?
What the hell is this? Sona, listen to me
What is this? What are you doing?
Listen to me Listen?
Listen, what are you doing? What am I doing?
What's this?
Here she is Look at this
Congratulations!
Sona Mishra, you had entered the Godrej Eon Diwali Bumper contest
You've won This frost free refrigerator is yours Congratulations
He was right
If you want something in life, you have to stretch your hand out for it
Take a step towards it
He taught me that
But I couldn't even thank him
Before I could understand this
he was gone
He was long gone
Cut it!
Was it okay?
Even Meena Kumari would have tears roll down as she laughed
Thank you
I should thank you for coming to your senses
Everything happens for the best
Even this publicity is a blessing in disguise
At least now, people know about you
Raju, you say anything you know
Just watch, as I work the magic
If you aren't on every channel, I'll shave my head
Take away the troubles of your beloved devotees
in an instance oh lord
You are my father and mother, oh lord
Hello sir
How's it going? Great
How is the audience reacting to the film? You watch the film and tell me, madam
Come on let's go
I'm so nervous
God help us
God bless God bless
Darling, tell me the collections first Greetings, Neenaji.
It wouldn't have been possible without your blessings
Do you even need to ask?
Nikki has set the screens on fire
Of course I'll come and meet you
Now what is your Neenaji saying?
What else Nikki's film is a hit and Neena's become the superstar
Mark my words
Nikki's next producer won't know what hit him
You know she is a crocodile in a chiffon saree
In Jabalpur knives were pulled out in the ticket queue
Good lord! One man has been murdered
Cheers to that! Good lord
The boy is getting a great response
Really?
Rollyji, I had got you his pictures
You remember that girl, Sona Mishra?
She got the photos saying that he was her cousin
This was printed just recently But I realized then itself
that something was fishy How come you never told me?
Don't you remember she came to meet you at the studio?
Unbelievable how things fall into place
Where his pictures came from
and where they've gotten him
But this boy has destiny on his side
This is what you call luck by chance
It's Zaffar
So talk to him He must be getting insecure
Zaffar my boy! What a surprise!
They are all alike
The celebrations are on
What's all this mom?
The industry folks are sending you flowers
Vikram had called Call him
What?
You spoke to Vikram?
Yes The film is a huge hit
A lot of producers will want to cast you together
Call him
I don't believe this
You are saying this!
With the same mouth you had said to me that
and now because he's going to be a big star
What kind of a person are you?
I don't understand
How will you understand?
You've had a convent education, traveled only in big cars
lived in the lap of luxury
You never had to live in a slum with your whole family in one room
At six your drunken father did not beat you
and pinch you like this in order to make you act in films
I was 16 when my mother made me visit various producers to
How will you understand?
Call him
I couldn't have asked for a better co-star
We have great on screen chemistry
Acting is in my blood
I'm single
I've never had a boyfriend
We're just good friends
I've given myself three years to be number one
Numbers are for accountants
I'm an actor
I'm really looking forward to doing some meaningful cinema
I don't believe in destiny
I believe in me
Alright!
Ch God Look who's here!
I really need to talk to you man
Just stay away from me, Tanveer No, but let me explain
I don't need your explanation
Vikram it's not about me It's about Sona
Please
Where are you?
I just remembered something
Now you are a star, remember what you want
just don't forget us
Who are you people?
Vikram
Hello sir
Congratulations!
I have been hearing good things about you
Thank you so much
Come' have a drink with us Come on
Your real work only begins now An actors work apart from acting
is really to choose the right kind of roles
Your first film chose you
But you will choose what you do next
You
Vikram
Are they your friends?
Yes Abhi in the waistcoat
We schooled together Hi
And that's Sameer
You aren't going?
No I'll meet them tomorrow
Vikram stardom is a cocktail
A heady cocktail of fame, power, money
It can be dangerously intoxicating
I can't even imagine what it must be like for you
It's insane
But I learnt something early
never forget those who were with you when you were a nobody
Because only they will tell you the truth no matter what
Like, Abhi, the one in the waistcoat
the one who was in school with you
Please listen to me
I don't want to hear another word My mind is made up
Sulakshna will not live here anymore
Just hear me out No matter how angry you are with her
I can assure you that she has never crossed the limits set in this household
Cut it One more
Please sit That's alright I'm okay Thank you
Thank you What's this hero doing here?
I met Tanveer
I'm sorry
I really messed things up
Nikki and
The whole Nikki thing was unnecessary
I made a mistake
And then you showed up all of a sudden and I didn't know how to face you
One lie after another
I'm so sorry
What do you want now?
I can't stop thinking about you
How can I forget your support?
The faith you had in me even my family didn't believe in me
It was only you, with whom I could really be myself
Without giving a damn what you thought about me
I need an anchor, a support and you are it
I miss you We can sort this out
Don't you believe me?
It's not that, Vikram I know what you've said is the truth
Only because you are truly this selfish
I paid attention to everything you said
how I was a part of your life, how I've supported you
How I can still be a support, an anchor
all for you
It's all about you
Where do I figure in the scheme of things?
You're here now because you are feeling guilty
But tomorrow something else more exciting will come along and you'll be gone again
It's not your fault
Beyond a point what can you do about it
Some people are just made like that
Your serial is very popular and you are really being appreciated
The readers of our magazine want to know about you
So where is your family? Kanpur
Only my parents live there My sister's Tara and Megha are married
One lives in Delhi and the other in Dehradun
How did your parents react when you decided to get into the movies?
I just left
For about two years the hot topic of gossip was that...
accountant Mishra's second daughter has run away.
Then came another scandal and people forgot about me.
But my parents have never called me.
Sometimes I speak with my sister.
She mentioned yesterday that they aren’t as angry anymore...
since they watch me on television now.
I suppose slowly everything will fall into place.
Perhaps they realize that I'm the only one who has made it on her own.
They wanted to get me married off.
He qualified because we were of the same caste.
Here such things don’t matter.
If you know your job, then you’ll surely find a way.
Of course, nothing comes easy.
Sometimes I'd think, it would've been better if I hadn't taken this route.
Sometimes I feel lonely, I feel sad.
But I know this is where I belong.
Every morning, I don’t just go to work...
I go to do something that really makes me happy.
How many people in this world can claim that?
I could be sad that I'm not a major film-star...
or I could be happy that I'm an actress who...
does decent work and earns a good living.
I've chosen to be happy.
Someone once told me that...
success and failure are only choices we make.
Film city studio
Now I realize what it really means.
The streets have woken up for you o traveler
With every step...
your life is asking you
Traveler, what are you looking at?
In every direction, there is a road.
Tell me which way do you want to go?
Traveler, O traveler no one seems to knows...
Traveler, O traveler tell me where do you want to go.
One path is thorny and one flower lined
It's up to you which one to choose
One path is for the thinker and one for the weak mind
It's up to you and what your heart wants to do
It's only you who can decide
A life of contemplation or the excuse of a weak mind
Tell me which way you want to go?
Traveler, O traveler no one seems to know...
