I love you
Two simple words...
who were the first to use them? Who was the first to be told this?
These words of love whenever used...
moves the beautiful, the innocent to helplessness, a madness
Push it. At this rate, you'll never get it ready in time
The canopy isn't up yet. - Everything will be done
The flowers for the overhang have arrived. And chandeliers
Don't ruin the flowers Come on, push it
Keep the flowers. Let me have that. I'll do his make-up
Brother is coming today. Has somebody gone to the station?
I've sent Anand
Guess who I am
The one who is never seen in daylight, my darling
My child, as pretty as a moonbeam. Chandni
Why did you have to guess so fast, Aunt?
Darling...
So long as daughters stay at home, it's easy to make them out
But once she is married off, when she becomes someone else's...
that's the end of the relationship.
Here I am for Neelu's wedding, and you're getting me married off?
I'm not marrying
How are you Aunt? - I'll right
But what makes you so impatient?
Are you wearing turmeric paste? Want to get married too?
My foot!
Chandni my child...
how are you dear? - Fine
Bless you. - Where's Neelu?
Upstairs. In her room
Couldn't you come earlier? - There was lots to do at home
Really? - And my husband's job...
Always some excuse
You arrive like a guest! - Let go!
Just 2 days before my wedding! - Let go! Then I'll tell you
I'm dirty and grimy after the journey. Stop hugging me
Can the moonbeam ever be grimy?
Good God! What was that crash? - Not crash. His signature tune
Arriving with a crash? - Rohit. One of Anand's friends
This is no canopy. This is a rag! Who put this up?
I did, sir. - Did you?
A darned sheet! Put up for Rohit Gupta's sister's wedding?
You won't see it anywhere. - I won't! Change it immediately!
Have the flowers arrived?
Check if my bags have come up. Give me a dress to wear
Just a year apart, and you're so detached? All my dresses are yours!
Where is Chandni? - Must be loafing around
"I am wearing all of nine bracelets"
"Tarry a while my love, this is difficult for me"
"The night when we shall come together is still a day away"
This is chilly! Just taking in the fire
Or taking it in with your eyes? Get lost
"When the nights are long and dark..."
"why do my bracelets clink?"
"Don't get carried away by the chime of those naughty bracelets..."
"not when the nights are long and dark"
"Go away boy"
"I'm not coming with you, boy"
"He's going to tease me, he'll keep me up all night"
"My heart skips a beat when I cross the street"
"Eight, ten boys are after me"
"Beware, someday these charmers might catch their snakes"
"You have eight or ten of them after you"
"Longer than my knees..." "flow my tresses"
"My eyes..."
"are like dice"
"Daddy, don't tell me I'm still a kid"
"Longer than your knees..." flow your tresses"
"Your eyes are like dice"
"I've just fought a pitched battle with the tailor"
"Even new dresses are already too tight for me"
"Encore!"
"Yesterday's girl has become a firefly"
"So you fought a pitched battle with the tailor...?"
"My love, what you've done is wrong"
"You have etched yourself on my heart"
"You have undone me"
"My love, what you've done is wrong"
"I am wearing all of nine bracelets"
"Tarry a while my love, this is difficult for me"
"The night when we shall come together is still a day away"
Do you know why the lights went out?
To leave us with only as much light...
as it takes for me to see you
and for you, to see me. Only
When the Creator made you...
Maybe you don't know how beautiful you are
So beautiful that the word beautiful
isn't enough to describe your beauty
People have a tendency to beat around the bush
But I'll use plainspeak. The truth
I have fallen in love with you...
so much in love, I don't think anyone has ever been
By now maybe you too love me as much. Say, yes or no?
I'll tell you something else. We Delhi types rule the land
And the heart! I'll win this heart!
Back in Shahjahanpur, nobody ever spoke to me like this
I was only my mother's daughter
Here in Delhi, like never before, now I can hear my heart beat
I was a naive village girl
Come time to leave, I began howling
I clung on to my grandma and said...
"Grandma, I know nothing. What will happen? I know nothing!"
Come Chandni, listen to my story
No teacher in the world can teach you this
Come on Chandni, sit beside Anand
Come
Aunt you were telling us about your honeymoon
In my time, there I was in a room plastered with cow dung
I fell asleep waiting. Then your uncle came in
Now only he and I were in the room
Seeing me asleep, he pinched me hard!
What happened to you?
55 years ago. I was the one who was pinched. And you're feeling it now?
Nothing, Aunt. - The romance has just begun, Aunt
Yes, or no?
Then surreptitiously, your uncle held my hand
Let go! - That's just what I said
Then what happened, Aunt? - What was to happen?
He took me in his arms. - Then...?
Answer me
I know you are very impatient.
But you know what? Nothing happened
He turned the other way, and he went to sleep. So did I
Does that mean... nothing happened? - For 6 years we did nothing
The deed was done when I turned 16 and he was 18
Nowadays everything happens fast. Everything is instant
What say you, Rohit? - Incidentally everything's instant
But in the incident of an accident it makes us say...
now it happens! Say, has it happened?
You've started on the right note. Hopefully the tune will catch on
Yes or no?
Say. Yes or no?
Tell me
Will you serve or just ask? - Serving!
The henna is on my hands,
and the colour rises on your cheeks?
It's like the colours of a rainbow. Can be seen, can't be touched.
With her hennaed hands, if a bride-to-be holds...
a spinster's hands, in no time she will get engaged and married
And that done, what if a boy holds the spinster's hand?
Then they fall in love. Right Chandni?
Here... wedding photographs. Take a look
Why are you pouncing on them? The bride has gone
The photos aren't running away. - But you're running away
Must you insist on leaving by the evening train?
Are you leaving today? - It's the job, son
Chandni's holidays aren't over yet. Neelu has left us
If Chandni stays with us for a while, we wouldn't feel so Ionely
Wealth and daughters, do they ever stay in one place? If she wants...
she can stay back
At least come and help me pack! - Yelling won't help packing. Coming
Will you stay?
Yes Aunt. - Are you happy?
Yes. I'm very happy
You're my favourite. That's why I'm holding you back
To pamper you some more. - Of give-and-take, if she knows...
how to give, if in her heart, if there's one tiny bit of place...
I'll put in an application. - Shut up! Stop flirting
Don't you even care for your elders around you?
Coming
Are Delhi folks shameless?
And spend the rest of my life feeling ashamed?
I have to be shameless if I am to mount the bridegroom's mare. Fast
Yes or no? - You even clicked the mare
For all the flashguns you kept popping at me, there isn't a single photo!
First say, yes or no. - If I say no?
I won't come riding a mare. - Do you prefer a donkey?
No way! I'II...
No Rohit!
I'm scared! - I'm with you!
I'm going to die! - Not before you answer me
I'm going to fall! - Hold on to me
I'm scared! - Hold me tight!
Yes or no!
Yes or no? - Yes
Louder. I didn't hear. - Yes
Louder! - Yes, yes and yes!
"My love"
"The city of all cities, I heard, is Delhi"
"In Delhi, I met a girl called Chandni"
"Her eyes are as deep as lakes. That's where my heart drowned"
"She is now..."
"She is the one..."
"You're my beloved"
"My love"
"When I saw you..."
"I knew at first sight"
"You were to be my beloved. I singled you out"
"In the land of my dreams, the one I seeked..."
"you are the one"
"You are now mine..."
"I'm now your lover"
"My love"
"Now I don't care what others think. - Forget what others think"
"This is God's wish"
"No one is going to stand between us"
"You are now mine..."
"Now I am..."
"You're my lover"
"I'm your lover"
"My love"
"The city of all cities, I heard, is Delhi"
"In Delhi, I met a girl called Chandni"
"Her eyes are as deep as lakes. That's where my heart drowned"
"She is now..."
"She is the one..."
you're my beloved" "I'm your lover"
When will you be back? - Whenever you call me
Give me your address. I'll write. - If Ma finds out...
How about a friend's address? - Yes!
Letter!
Letter from your lover! - What...?
From your beloved! - Give that to me
Look Kiran, don't harass me! Give me the letter, please
After I've read it. It was mailed to my address, I've the right to read it
According to our deal, I read it out to you
Hold this for me
Cheat!
Just you wait till the next letter comes!
"Chandni, how do I describe you? A waft of breeze, or desire?"
"Are you the one my heart beats for?
Is it your fragrance that lingers on?"
"When I think of you, my heart blossoms like a flower"
"I imagine the morning dew in your hair..."
"I imagine kissing your eyes..."
"and a golden sunray is transformed into a moonbeam"
"Dusk touches you like an orange blossom...
"and your fragrance subsumes my being"
"When the night has spread her wings,
I miss you so dearly, I swear"
"The full moon frozen in mid-orbit gazing down to admire your beauty"
"I have only to shut my eyes, and Chandni enters my heart"
"I am yours, and yours only. Rohit"
"Rohit, oh what do I write? Time seems stilled"
"The breeze, the fragrance, the night
...all wait with bated breath..."
"for me to write something. But how do
I put in words, what my heart says?"
"Rohit, all around me, there are all those things you like so much"
"The jasmines, a smiling flame ...and your Chandni"
"I wish you were here. But how could you...?"
"Yet, here you are"
"In my every breath, in my heart,
in every heartbeat of mine"
"Soon our hearts will beat like one, Chandni"
"Mummy and Daddy return tomorrow. I'll talk to them about our wedding"
Someone who isn't of our standing? She doesn't belong to our society!
You want to bring her into this family? As a bride?
What you're saying is old hat. I'm not the first man to do this
When we buy furniture we first check if it matches the decor
The girl I love is furniture for you?
This word, love, has been used so often, it has lost meaning!
Once she enters this family, I'll have
to put up with her. Why forget that?
Get one thing clear, Ma. I'm not marrying her for your sake
Nor do I believe in the social norm. I'm not asking you for permission
I'm only telling you. I am marrying Chandni
All you have to decide is whether or not to give us your consent
Daddy, stop Rohit! If Chandni enters this family as a bride...
I'm going to lose face in society!
Pooja, what society? Where bank balance is the measure of a man's honour?
She won't enter this family, Ramesh! You don't darn silk with rags!
That happened the day I entered this house as a son-in-law
Besides, how will you stop Rohit? Your only son belongs to this generation
Someday he might break free, and just walk away. Are you prepared for that?
Ramesh, try to understand! Weddings can only be, between equals
After all, we have to live in society! - If your society has accepted me...
they will accept Chandni too. - Actually Rohit is taking advantage...
of the fact that we can't go against him because he is our only son
Anyway, talk to Shivprasad. - What are you...?
But remember one thing.
The wedding should be worthy of our position.
"I'm not going to my in-laws. Put the bride's palanquin down"
"For a year or two, I'm not coming. Put the bride's palanquin down"
"That's the excuse I used"
"He's an old dot"
"I'm not going with him. Put the bride's palanquin down"
"The second message comes from mother-in-law"
"That old hag makes me miserable"
"Now I'm going to make her miserable Put the bride's palanquin down"
"Not for a year or two, I won't. Put the bride's palanquin down"
"The sister-in-law is the third"
"She has made me dance to her whims"
"Now the dancing bells..."
"I'm going to tie to her feet Put the bride's palanquin down"
"For a year or two, I'm not coming. Put the bride's palanquin down"
"The fourth one was my brother-in-law"
"I was about to leave when I remembered..."
"Why should I give in so easily? Put the bride's palanquin down"
"why so soon?"
"For a year or two, I'm not coming. Put the bride's palanquin down"
"When the fifth message came from my beloved..."
g"I couldn't think of any more excuses"
"Barefoot, I will run to him"
"The palanquin... oh forget the palanquin!"
"I'm not coming back, ever"
"I'll stay in his arms"
"I'll look in his eyes"
"I will lie for him"
What a grand reception! This boy has disgraced us!
A bride in the family is a matter of honour
She maintains her distance, she maintains her dignity
Where did this one transpire from? - Oh Daddy! With her around...
we'll have a grand time! We'll get to see dances everyday. And why only us?
Even the neighbours will enjoy it! - I say, call it off
It isn't too late! Get over with it. - Why are you after her?
She didn't want to dance or sing. Your darling boy goaded her
You might end up losing your son for the sake of your reputation
They're coming tomorrow for the engagement. Better fix your faces
What did he say? -
Nothing
Congratulations!
Our boy is getting engaged! Take a photo!
Mother you are forgetting my bride-to-be
May you live long, son. - Today is her day too. Bless her
Yes
Be happy, always
This ring comes to you with our love, our good wishes. Be happy son
One who wears, knows best how valuable it is. Besides what price, love?
Appreciation is also expressed by the one who makes the gift
Here, give it to her. - Go on, Rohit. Show us your hand, lady
Pooja, won't you give Chandni a gift? - How can I forget my sister-in-law?
I think she's very fond of dancing. So what better a gift than this?
I am fond of dancing but...
Only you could make such a gift on such an auspicious occasion
A brother will always remember this gift from his sister!
Asha, why are you upset? - I'm thinking of the future.
Chandni will be stifled in that house
I didn't expect them to would behave like this
What do they think of themselves? - Rich family!
It's the arrogance of money! - We didn't go begging
We are happy as we are! - What's the fight about?
Think of Chandni, her happiness
Rohit will take good care of her. I am confident. I also know...
nobody can be cross with our Chandni for very long. After they're married...
she will win everybody's heart. - God willing, I hope
Are you mad?
Scared? Coward! - Stop laughing
Shut your eyes
What...? - Shut your eyes
And then, what will you do to me? - What could a girl do to you?
How can I trust you? - So you can't trust me anymore?
Am I going to get raped? - Will you shut your eyes?
But why? - Just shut your eyes
Done. - Open your mouth
My mouth? - Yes
Taste this. Tell me what this is
Sweet. From Ghantewala
Now let's see, what's this?
Glucose biscuit
Now, this
I have it
What's this? It's a Laddoo
Now let's see. Don't open your eyes. - Shut tight
Chilli
You didn't say what it is
Water...
For the love of me, can't you eat a chilli?
For you, I can eat poison! And all you find is a chilli?
Come, sit here. Sit
After the wedding, we aren't staying on for a day
Because your family, my relatives ...uncles, aunts, cousins...
they're going to bore us with invitations. Waste of time
So what do you want?
I want to take you far away
Where you will be, and I ...and no one else...?
Let's have our honeymoon in Switzerland
What's wrong? Where are you lost?
Chandni, what are you doing?
I can live a lifetime on your love
Come here
Why?
I feel like kissing you.
I didn't hear... - You're ruining my romance! Come
Old joke. Fat man wants to make love to pretty girl
Girl says, catch me if you can
So...?
Fatso, won't you kiss me?
I'm dead, and at a loss for words - I'll bring you back to life
Move and I shoot!
Don't. I'm my wife's only husband! What will happen to her?
No one-liners. Out with the cash. - All the cash?
Fast! - One minute
Don't try to run. - Not at all
All of 3 francs. You can have them. - In Switzerland with only 3 francs?
Aren't you ashamed? I don't care! I'm shopping!
Aren't you tired of shopping? And I go around like carrying bags like an ass!
Let's go to the hotel and romance. - Cut the drama. Out with the stuff
Come to the hotel. I'll give you everything
Okay. Hold this
3 francs. - Let me keep this
For ice cream
Get lost! You wag a fake gun, and you want the real stuff?
The promise you have made, you must make good...
Shopping? Not again! Get out of here!
May I taste...?
May I...?
Get lost!
You ate half of mine! Now you won't give yours?
Let me have it! - Why should I?
Dropped my ice cream! Give me a bite!
I want an ice cream!
Chandni, tonight! Yes or no?
No, no. - Come on, say yes or no
Good boys aren't naughty. - What else to do in the cold?
Really, it's very cold today.
Let's go to the hotel. I'll give you a cognac
Cognac? Meaning brandy?
Cognac is wine! - No! Cognac isn't wine
Cognac isn't wine? - No. Cognac isn't wine
Good heavens! This Cognac... - Isn't wine
What else is it?
Honeymoon, romance, amour, love! Youth... music... intoxication
Cognac isn't wine
Tonight, we celebrate! All night we shall stay up, talk of love
After talking of love, we'll make love
Making love again we'll make love!
Cognac isn't wine
Aren't you ashamed?
Cognac isn't wine
This one is gone! Yes or no?
Cognac...
is not...
wine
Cognac is liqueur
"On your lips and mine..."
"sweet songs, my love"
"Wherever I am..."
"my lover is with me"
"The evenings when we first fell in love..."
"we shall remember forever"
"This meeting in the land of blossoms..."
"we shall remember forever"
"I wish we could live here for the rest of our lives"
"Wherever I am..."
"my lover is with me"
"Come into my eyes"
"I will hold you in my eyes"
"First, let me have a few words with those eyes"
"Those words of yours have won me over, my love"
"Wherever I am..."
"my lover is with me"
"These small words..."
"mean so much"
"It isn't yet over, so soon; we have a long way to go"
"A whole lifetime of seeingof telling each other"
"Wherever I am..."
"my lover is with me"
"On your lips and mine..."
"sweet songs, my love"
"Wherever I am..."
"my lover is with me"
What are you doing?
Sleeping
Give me a quick kiss.
I'm sleeping
One, please.
Get lost. I won't
Why? - You woke me out of a dream
Give me a kiss. Fast
Aunt is here
How do aunts transpire in mid-romance?
You took ages to get to the phone! Where were you?
In the bathroom. - Doing what?
Tell me, what were you doing? - Bathing, what else...?
What's up?
I'm dripping
Listen...
What are you doing?
Talking to you
What were you doing before that?
Looking at myself in the mirror
And how do you find my Chandni?
Today, I'm in love with myself
Not with me?
Why don't you understand? I love you
That's why I like myself
Rohit, when you call me yours...
I feel so proud of myself
What is it now?
I want to see you this afternoon
But where? - On the terrace of your house
On our terrace? - Yes, I'll wait for you
All right. I'll come. - Dressed as... my Chandni
Meaning...? - In a milk-white dress
In white, from tip to toe
Up here
Rohit, you're mad! - Yes! I'm mad
Rohit, you're completely mad!
Style, Chandni! My style
Careful
Rohit, please come back
Ramesh here. Rohit has met with an accident. While landing...
he fell out of the helicopter. He's in hospital
What happened...?
Don't worry. Everything will be all right
Where is Rohit? Can I see him?
- Not yet
Not yet? What do the doctors say? - Nothing can be said, Chandni
What?
Is he very serious? - He's undergoing surgery
How did it happen? - Because of her! She's fond of flowers
Rohit bought out all the roses in town to impress her. When it happened...
he was showering her with flowers - Because of you! What do you want?
Why don't you go leave?
Unless I see Rohit, unless I meet him, I can't leave
No! You won't see him! You won't meet him! Go away
Just for once. For once, let me see Rohit
Then I'll do whatever you say. Let me meet Rohit just once
Daddy, Rohit has come around. Chandni, Rohit has come around
>From that height, you looked gorgeous
My love!
Come into my arms
What's the matter?
Tell me
My right arm, my right leg aren't moving
What's wrong with me? - Your right side is paralysed
Will I walk, or not?
Will I recover, or not?
You will. Certainly. But you must use your will power, determination
Rohit, you must get well! God has saved you for my sake
Now I hold your life in trust
Welcome home with a smiling face
Chandni, take me to my room
One thing for sure, Rohit brings home the cheer
Shall I tell you something?
The nurses in the hospital were very pretty. A few more days...
and I would've had an affair. But you were in a hurry...
and I was in a hurry to get back
Why have you fallen silent?
Echoes from the past... make me feel as if time has come to a standstill
Don't cling to time. Move on
Will those days come back, Chandni? - Yes, our days will return
I have full faith. - Your faith is life for me
is my life
Today if I ask you for something, promise not to turn me down
You expect me to refuse? In every word of yours, there lies a promise of mine
>From now on, whenever I open my eyes, I should see you before me
My every morning will begin with a smile on your lips
In the shadow of your eyelids, lies my every night
What are you doing here? - Mummy, can't you see?
She's making breakfast for Rohit. - Am I no more? Who are you...
to make breakfast for my son?
She's getting entrenched well in advance of the wedding
Every morning, she's here. How shameless!
All the money will be hers! She knows! - Do you hear us?
She thinks. This way she can distance us from Rohit
The world is spitting! The wedding is yet to happen. Yet she is...
constantly hovering over my son! - Do whatever you will, you won't...
end up the mistress of this house! - Go away from here
Stop! Put the tray back. What am I telling you?
Don't you dare step into my kitchen again!
Don't cry over every little thing. Your tears are worth nothing here
Have you lost so soon? You have battles to win
What do I do? Rohit's mother is annoyed about everything
And Pooja has always despised me
Actually they want you to give up and leave for good
Don't they want Rohit to be happy?
They do. But they want him to be happy out of what they choose for him
And you aren't of choice
Look Chandni, if Rohit sees tears in your eyes, he will break down
So just tolerate, put up with it; with a smile, endure
If not yourself, then for Rohit, for his life
You're right
"In you..."
"I repose all my desires"
"My heart goes out to you"
"Come to me, my love"
"Why are your eyes so empty?"
"Where are gone those words of love?"
"Unto your lips..."
"I repose my smiles"
"Come to me, my love"
"My heart goes out to you"
"My heart weeps to see your tears"
"If you are hurt, I feel the pain"
"Let me salve your wounds"
"Come to me, my love"
"My heart goes out to you"
"My love, just hold my hand"
"Just say what you want"
"At your feet..."
"I will lay my whole world"
"Come to me, my love"
"My heart goes out to you"
"Come to me, my love"
"My heart goes out to you"
She pulled Rohit down! Come fast! - Good God!
What happened to my son?
Girl! What are you up to? Will you kill him?
Nothing happened, Ma. What's it? Nothing has happened
Nothing? Rohit fell because of her carelessness!
She's always dancing, singing! Why don't you find someplace else?
Do you know what you're saying? - She's right. She has turned...
this house into a circus! Ever since she stepped into my house...
my son has been ruined! This witch has cast a spell on him!
What are you saying? Will someone listen to what I have to say...?
Rohit, you're unwell. You need rest. - Pooja accuses Chandni of...
In this house, I want peace! - How is Chandni to blame?
Ramesh, you're always... - Daddy, I'm all right
No need to raise voices. For no reason Pooja is...
Relax, son. Pooja take him inside. - No need. I'll manage on my own
Get this clear! Rohit is my only son.
I don't want to lose him because of you
Such a shameless girl! She's still unmoved even after being told all this
Quiet now, please
This has been enough! - Yes
Now go home, Chandni
They won't let you live
Are you cross with me?
No
I've brought something for you. Shut your eyes
I'll put it in your mouth, you tell me what it is
Why shut my eyes? - I won't give you chillies
Just give it to me
Don't you trust me?
I don't trust myself
Till yesterday, you did - Lot of difference between then and now
What difference? - Yesterday was a dream
Today is reality
Reality, dreams, yesterday, today... what are you saying? I don't understand
Why don't you try to understand? I'm not the one you were in love with
Not the one you sang and danced with With memories of the past...
how long will I delude myself?
Why are you getting so emotional?
Emotions are all I have left Everything else is...
All else, all my dreams are broken
Not broken. Our dreams will come true
On this wheelchair? With this feeble, helpless cripple?
As long as I am here, you won't use those words about yourself
For my sake, if you can revolt against your parents, society...
for your sake, can't I become your legs?
Shall be your hope, your strength. Your faith
Why don't you try to understand?
Who did all this?
I did
You?
Yes
I don't need these photos, the memories attached to them
Don't talk like that. Our relationship is very delicate, as it is
Not love. It's pity
And I don't want to live on anyone's pity
What has come over you? Why this overnight change?
There's no more place for your love in my life
It isn't so easy to wipe out love
I'm not lifeless like these photos
I'm a live person, I have a heart that throbs, I have feelings...
I have a mind that thinks
These photos are a symbol of our love. You whitewashed them over with hatred?
I can't get rid of the memories tied to those photos! Your beauty, your smile...
You want me to be dependent on you? No! It's better to die than live like this!
Your youth, mock me! Your affections stink of pity!
Don't say that
Your life is more precious to me than anything else in this world
I know. Today your heart is filled with hatred, not love
Yet I ask you one question.
Had I been in your place...
what would you have done?
I would've left you much earlier
For your pettiness, I pity you
You don't even know what love means.
Love God's gift. Not charity
Are you talking of the Chandni whose very name you breathed?
She was your love! - This love you speak of...
Name, fame, wealth
And I am given my poison, and a bad name and frustration
It taken from me, the peace of my life
And the Chandni you speak of made me a cripple. She hasn't given me life
What...?
You accuse me too?
I have made you a cripple? - Yes
Till now, my relatives, everyone else said it. But now even I tell you
You've crippled me! In body, mind and spirit
Well, if like your relatives and everyone else, you too believe...
that I have crippled you...
then I have no right to stay here. Nor have I any right over you
Live in hatred if you will
I will live in love
Daddy, return this and my love to him
Here's your ring! This is what you wanted, isn't it? Keep it
Must be feeling great?
Shame on you! Chandni was the love of your life
And you break away from her? May I know why this behaviour?
What use raking up the ashes? - What use...?
I know you loved Chandni dearly. But the pain you have given her...
You really want to know?
Because... I'm shattered. You know the people in this house
There's no place in their hearts for Chandni. I was the only one...
who could've championed her cause. If there was anyone...
who could stand by her, it was me. As long as I was on my feet...
I shielded her. But today my shield is broken
What am I today? A cripple who can do nothing without help!
But for all that is, did you have to break her heart?
Unless I gave her a heartbreak, until I made her unhappy...
unless I humiliated her, she wouldn't have left me
I didn't want to ruin her life. - And your own life?
What of me? I've lost everything. A gust of wind took everything away
Now even Chandni is gone
"You are my moonbeam"
"With colour from the dark clouds with the kohl from your eyes..."
"I have painted my heart with your name"
"Chandni, my moonbeam"
My name? You did it so innocently?
But you've given me a bad name
"Even if you did it so innocently you have given me a bad name"
Anyway, forget it
Coward
"If you love me what for are you scared?"
Tell me
"Don't try to wipe out what's written on the heart"
"On my heart, I have written your name"
"Chandni, my moonbeam"
Who me?
"You never bring me any gifts"
"You're a fool! You want me to explain?"
"You want me to teach you how to romance?"
"You don't come empty-handed to see your beloved"
"You don't know?"
"Oh I forgot again, today. From tomorrow, I'll always remember"
"On my heart, I have written your name"
"Chandni, my moonbeam"
You're so frivolous, my darling
Catch me
"Chandni, my moonbeam"
Get lost! You're chanting Chandni forever
"Writing my name on your heart is just a ploy"
"What do you know?"
"I hold your image in my heart"
Shall I show you? You want to see?
"You've won yourself a mad lover"
"On my heart I have written your name"
"Chandni, my moonbeam"
"With colour from the dark clouds with the kohl from your eyes..."
"I have painted my heart with your name"
"Chandni, my moonbeam"
"You are my moonbeam"
You didn't inform you're coming I would've come to the station
I didn't want to bother you - Aren't you ashamed to say that?
Brij, Chandni stays with us - No need to say that
Who else has she in Bombay? - One who hasn't anyone else...
comes to live in my house? Won't do
I need shelter. It will be very kind of you
For staying on, the rent is a hundred. Water, electricity plus. Acceptable?
Yes
I have no extra rooms Make do somewhere here
How did this happen?
Just say someone cast an evil eye
Maybe it was a bit too much happiness for me
Now I can neither forget nor can I bear to remember
Yet whenever I remember it makes me cry
I'm telling you! Today you'll land a job!
Pray to the Lord on your way out By His grace, you'll find a job
Drink your tea and get ready
What are you doing? What kind of insolence is this?
I'm not being insolent This is an emergency
Don't look at me. Just drive. I'll tell you everything
You...? - I'm from Delhi
I'm new in your city. I'm looking for a job. I'm late for a job interview
I'll be obliged if you could take me to this address
Do you know where I'm supposed to go? Do you follow?
Why don't you say something?
Get off - Are you offended?
No, I mean you get off here This is where you want to go
Listen...
I'm sure you'll get the job
Go in through that door
You...?
Surprised to see me? - I was nervous before I came in
But seeing you gives me confidence
Sit
This is a travel agency
We take people around the world
You mean you give them their dreams?
No one ever described this profession so beautifully
Will be done. Not to worry
We have to complete the formality of the interview
My name is Chandni Mathur I graduated with a major in arts
I know shorthand and typing. I have no work experience. But I promise...
if you employ me, I'll apply myself with dedication and sincerity
If you say so, I believe you
Come in
This is Miss Chandni Mathur She's working with us
Explain to her about my personal files and ticket reservations
What's wrong with you?
I'm very happy today, Tarabai - Why?
By God's grace I've got a job
Now I can breath, I can live
I can be alive
Some clients are coming this evening But I'm preoccupied
As clients, they are very important I want you to take them to dinner
Entertain them
I can't do this
Can't do it? I don't understand
This isn't my job
Will you tell me what's your duty? You promised you'd do any job sincerely
Every job in this office is part of your duties
But I don't consider this good
She doesn't think it's good!
That's what's so wrong with you middle class girls!
You decide beforehand what's good and what isn't!
The dirt is there in your minds
If our clients are happy, it proves our efficiency
We get business from them. This office runs because of them
That's how you are paid!
This is my order
I can't do this - Then get lost
Madam, the boss has sent this
What does he think of himself?
There she is
Big reception party? For me? - The colony is being raided
It's a government colony.
Keeping tenants is illegal. Like us
What now? - We spend the night out
We come back at sunrise. - By then the raid will be over
Brij, I haven't yet seen Bombay. How about going to town?
We must have parties like this once a month
Don't worry. The government is kind. It will keep happening
Let's get wet
Come on
Come back. - I'm wet already. So what...?
What are you doing?
Aren't you ashamed? In the office you're the decency personified
And now? All alone on a pavement in the middle of the night...?
Come here. Quick
My friend Kiran. And her husband, Brij
We're paying guests in a government colony
It has been raided today - So we're having a forced picnic
Tonight we're homeless, helpless, powerless
Then come home with me
To your house?
My mother will be happy to meet you
Come in
Meet my mother. They are...
This is Chandni, works in my office
Her friend Kiran. Her husband. - Brij
Sorry, I slipped up on your name
Since when have you become so good?
Are you so sorry for my Ioneliness, that you've brought home guests?
I am trying to be nicer. And they had a problem
Thank you very much, Mr Lalit
Consider this your own house. Let me change. I'll join you
Will you have coffee? - On one condition
I'll make coffee for everyone - Done
Brace yourself for the worst coffee you ever had in your life
I've been witness to that! - Hush! Don't ruin my reputation
The kitchen is that way
Use that room if you want to wash up
Tell me don't you feel as if we own this place, and you're the guest?
Absolutely
Come closer. - Will you beat me?
I will! Come here
Such a dear child
Sir, if you don't mind, may I say something?
Go on
What you are at the office, at home, you're quite something else
One is for the world to see, one for myself
Do you like the rain?
I love rains!
This is fun!
Shall we leave, Chandni? - Let's go. Good night
"The rains have come again"
"The fire in my heart is lit again"
"The day when we met was like this"
"That was when the flowers had blossomed in our hearts"
"The season is the same, but the time isn't"
"The clouds weep with me"
"The rains have come again"
"Oh for someone to touch my heart"
"Oh for someone to piece my heart together"
"Oh, but these are mere dreams"
"Have broken hearts ever mended?"
"The rains have come again"
"The fire in my heart is lit again"
"The rains have come again"
Couldn't sleep? Or did I wake you? - Had I slept tonight...
I would've have lost something. - I've lost something too
And I'm still searching... - Do you stay up all night?
Sleepless nights is part of my fate - You sound as if you asked for it
Pains that heal not, one lives with - But sharing can ease the pain
Do you believe in that?
Only a fellow-traveller on a long journey can share pain
Every moment, to be relived. It's very hard embarking on a painful journey
Oh, from where do I begin?
What are you referring to?
What do you think?
Let's play a game - What game?
I'll make 3 guesses about you you do the same about me
Number One. You've never been in love
You took over a huge business at a young age
Are you a detective or an astrologer?
Some terrific incident is about to happen in your life
This is where you go wrong. It has already happened
Now make 3 guesses about me
Devika, first of all my life is stark, empty
Fill it with the colours of your love
I want to see this world with you through your eyes
How long will you be away? - Why do you ask?
We've just met! And you're leaving? - For just a few days
What should I get for you?
There's someone called Lalit. Tell him life is terrible without him
As soon as you can bring him back to me
Don't you worry about that If he's careless about you...
I'll pick him on my shoulders and I'll dump him at your feet
Not at my feet His place is in my heart
Will you agree to something?
Why do you ask? - First promise me
Promise to take care of yourself And when the time comes...
you'll marry a beautiful girl Someone who is more beautiful than me
Promise
Why are you punishing me? - Life is so beautiful
And I have very little time
For my sake, for my love
Yes Devika, I promise For your sake, for your love
Now I want nothing from life My life is fulfilled
And in a flash she was gone forever
I still feel the warmth of her breath of her body, on mine
Whenever I recall her smiling face vibrant with life...
the pain becomes even more burdensome
Is this any life? Is it worth living like this?
Living, has become just another habit
Nothing else ...nothing at all
I like Chandni very much
Ma, you like every girl
I'm very hopeful about her I liked her very much
Is there any point in this?
The dead have passed Like it or not, you have to live on
Yes, I agree. One has to live on whether one wants to or not
Look at me. Your father is no more Am I not alive?
Son, now I live only for your sake - I too live only for your sake, Ma
And after me? - Don't talk so ominously
Very well. You are sensible My son, if you live for my sake...
then you will listen to me
Right?
Come in
Book a first class ticket to Zurich and prepare the visa papers
This should be done fast - What's the name of the passenger?
Lalit Khanna
Are you going out? - Yes, a conference
I'll be away for 10 or 12 days
Can you answer one question?
Last night, why did I feel you're no stranger to me?
One reason, could be - What?
One is a stranger, only till the first meeting
Sometimes, mirrored in your eyes I see a shade of my sorrows
I think, in today's world everyone is Ionely
One wants a companion a destination
Yesterday, for me, this city was a strange place
After that little while I spent in your house...
I feel, I have someone in this city
I know nothing about your life
My name is Chandni Mathur I graduated with a major in arts
Now I work in Hansa Travel Agency That said, life has ground to a halt
It's better if life goes on
I've been waiting for you since ages
I want your contribution for the annual office party
Here are 100 Rupees. All right? You'll remember me!
"Black clouds crash on the mountains"
"Water is set afire"
"Here's the season of the give-and-take of love"
"Oh, I'm shy"
"My veil clings to me"
"That's what sways me"
"I'm afire"
"Here's the season of the give-and-take of love"
"Black clouds crash on the mountains"
"Water is set afire"
"I'm afire"
"I'm going to enjoy myself'
"Stop me, or I'll kiss you"
"Stop teasing me like this let go of my arm"
"I'm afire"
"Here's the season of the give-and-take of love"
"Black clouds crash on the mountains"
"Water is set afire"
"I'm afire..."
"in this season of the give-and-take of love"
How long will you deceive yourself? You live with her memories
You still feel warmth of her breath! You still revel in memories of...
the fragrance in her tresses the glow on her face
Not one moment goes by when you don't think of her!
You call her up at nights on the sly just to hear her voice
Your heart beats for her only for her memories!
You are right
Chandni is still my life She is still my love
But today... - Even today, at a word from you...
she will come running back
Yes
I remember when I first met her
I had swept her off her feet
I want to do it again
I want to get well
Whatever you want will happen
Don't worry. I'll call the hospital in Switzerland
Have you spoken to Chandni?
Not yet - Why?
What's the hurry? - If not you, I am in a hurry
I've waited enough If you won't ask her, I will
Ma, nowadays you behave like a child - I tell you I'll call her right now
And I'll ask her when she will enter our house as a bride
I'll ask her soon as I return - No, today and now
You are blackmailing me! - Whatever you think
Okay. I'll ask her as soon as I get a chance at the party. Happy now?
Aren't you dancing?
I can't dance. But why aren't you dancing?
If I say I can't dance either? - I'll buy that
We have one thing in common - What, sir?
We lie pretty well
One more thing in common - What?
We make good conversation
Then let's strike up a conversation
In a war of words, I'll win - How can you claim that?
I get a feeling. Either the cat got your tongue...
or you're tired of talking too much
My mother is very fond of you - I like her too
See her when I'm not around She'll like that
So would I
I have a small wish
Just name it - I'm afraid...
Why sir?
Of a fear of refusal
I wish you'd come with me
To the airport. To see me off
That's all? I was in a generous mood You could've asked for anything
I'd only want you to be happy and live long
Because wherever you go you raise the cheer
Don't pray for my happiness I'm afraid of happiness
It's said the waxing on the moon is gone in just four days
I'm sure you will prove that wrong Given the chance, I will too
It's time for your flight I'll see you off to the airport
Stay here, look after the staff Chandni will drop me
At the airport, one gets the feeling that everyone is fleeing the country
Why don't you come along too? - You're joking
No, I mean it
Why do you think like that?
I've been through life
Sir, you always... - Chandni...
I have a name- I'll have to muster up some courage
Then do it
Mr Lalit...
What shall I get for you? - Just come back
You want nothing? - I seek nothing out of life.
But still... - All right. From Paris...
the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben from London Statue of Liberty from New York
Not space enough in my suitcase for all these
Yes?
Will you think of me?
I...?
Try, at least
Your flight has been announced
You still haven't told me what you choose
What I choose...? What can I say? - I want to know your choice
I'm sure Lalit will like whatever you choose
If you take so long to choose one thing, I will...
I have lots of shopping to do I have to buy a dress for you too
For me? No, please.
If you don't listen to me you'll get a thrashing
"Oh God, I hate it..."
"Without my beloved, my world is plunged into darkness"
"Oh God, how I hate it"
On vacation? - No, business conference
And you? - Treatment
Feels nice hearing my mother tongue in a foreign land
True, you miss your country when you're abroad
And one misses one's countrymen - Have you been here for long?
Been 4 months and 10 days But it feels like a century
Have you left somebody behind? - You could say...
I've left my soul behind And here I am, roaming lifeless
We have the time, weather permits too Let's hear each other out, say what?
Where to begin, where to end? I fell in love. My life was full of joy!
We broke tradition we even got engaged
Then?
The relationship ended I ended the relationship
Why? I don't understand
I met with an accident
I was crippled. My life was ruined Why spoil hers?
So I severed ties. Now I wait for the moment...
when we will confront each other
Time will come to a standstill
Tell me about yourself
Mine is a short story
The first love they say can never be forgotten
Even today when I shut my eyes...
I feel the touch of her eyelashes on my face
Very few moments of joy I was destined to have
She fell so ill she never recovered
Afterwards, I forgot how to smile, how to live. I even lost the will to live
But now, that desire to live is budding again
A girl has entered my life Life seems good
How do you feel when you see a ray of light through pitch dark?
I can understand
Tell me who the girl is What is she like?
You started it. First you tell me
"You tell me, I'll tell you the stories of our loves"
"Who is she? What is she like this princess of your dreams?"
"She is so quiet like a puzzle"
"But why do I feel she is so Ionely?"
"In one word she expresses so much"
"The longest nights wouldn't be enough to tell you all about her"
"Sometimes she is so close yet sometimes, a stranger"
"You tell me, I'll tell you the stories of our loves"
"Who is she? What is she like this princess of your dreams?"
"My heart beats to memories of the chime of her anklets"
"When I saw her I knew what magic can be"
"When she stretches my heart skips a beat"
"In her lissome body I have seen a spark"
"At her touch, she could set the waters afire"
"You tell me, I'll tell you the stories of our loves"
"Who is she? What is she like this princess of your dreams?"
"I take a look at her to slake my thirst"
"In my dreams I draw her close to me"
"Then let me make you jealous"
"Ask no more, I'll tell you her name"
"I'll tell you her name"
"I call her my love I call her my desire"
"You tell me, I'll tell you the stories of our loves"
"Who is she? What is she like this princess of your dreams?"
It's a miracle! I'm absolutely fine
You could say it's the result of someone's love and prayers
When do you get back? - Get to Bombay on 28th
Don't tell the family - Okay, I'll be there
How far has the affair progressed? - I haven't even said I love you
You live in the jet age and you can't do this?
In the olden days, flowers did the trick
Nowadays, not even an l-Iove-you works
Buy her a gift. The more expensive the easier it is to make the statement
Take this - What, a tip?
No. It's for you l-Iove-you. There's a pay phone. Call her up
Time waits for none my friend. Before time changes her mood...
go and tell her you love her. And call her to the airport.
Let me see your choice
Guess who this is?
I recognise your voice - Doesn't my voice convey something?
Where are you calling from? - You're digressing
From Geneva airport
When will you get back? - Tonight. The flight is almost due
Tell her you love her! Say it
Look, I have something important to tell you
We can talk when you're back. - I may not be able to say it then
Don't feel shy. Tell her! - I'm telling!
Whom are you talking to? - I've found a friend. A dear one
You'll like him. - I'd be glad to meet your friend
He wants to be a part of our joy - What joy does he want to share?
I called you to tell you just that
It's true
Are you listening? - Yes
The flight has been announced. I want you to see me at the airport
You'll come, won't you? - Yes
Rohit! I said it! I told her!
And, guess what? She's coming to the airport to receive me!
So even I'll get to see the lady of your life!
Your job is done. But mine is annoyed with me
If things go well, we'll make a foursome. We meet with our dates
Chandni speaking. I want to talk to Rohit
How dare you call up? Aren't you satisfied by ruining our family?
I want to speak to Rohit. Please - Don't you dare take his name!
If you call again you'll deal with me
Why didn't you go to the airport? - Purposely
You don't want to forget your past
This love you talk about what has it given you?
Unhappiness, insults, problems, no?
Has he ever turned round and asked you... just for once...
How you are, whether you're alive or dead? How long will you live...
like a living corpse for this meaningless love? How long...
will you live like this? For how long? And his family
Do you have still have the courage to go through another ordeal by fire?
Hear their taunts, abuses! Learn to look at life in the eye!
Rohit was your past Lalit is your present
Just a minute. Do you have Indian coins, 50 paise?
Chandni hasn't come
Why is nobody picking it up?
I'll call up too - She didn't turn up?
What's the matter? - Nobody is picking up the phone
Mine is engaged
Won't you say something? - The sight of you!
I've forgotten everything!
I pray to Godto give you a long life
May all your dreams come true
Meet him. He is Lalit We're friends, one at heart
This is my brother-in-law
You, here...? - Felt like seeing the son
Ma, this is Rohit. You've found yourself another son
Bless you
This is his brother-in-law.
See you
Don't you forget about the rendezvous
How was your trip? - Very good
Did you talk to her?
So you walked out? Good for you. - After this trip you're flying
Chandni was to have come. - Must be feeling shy
What shame? We'll land up there bag and baggage!
Does Chandni know you're coming?
That'd make it less romantic
I want to give her a surprise
First ask her. - What for?
Just tell her to call her parents
Before the family lands up, let's get married. I can't wait for the wedding
What is an auspicious day? Every day is auspicious
The day Chandni marries you will be an auspicious day
The day she'll be mine will be my auspicious day!
Did she come to meet you? - Everyday
How is she? - See for yourself
We did a lot of shopping for you
Shopping for her? - What else did I do?
I've even brought the ring she returned
This ring is for her
Very pretty. - Watch
And some perfumes
And for me?
A daughter-in-law
First tell me why you didn't come to the airport?
Just like that
What's the matter?
I want to talk to you
Go on
You have told me everything about yourself
But you know nothing about me
I don't want to know
I have a past
I have also been in love
I don't want to know about your past
But...
I want to tell you something. - Tell me
I don't know why...
What is the matter?
I never could bring it to my lips
I want to marry you
You aren't angry, are you?
No. - Then you're willing?
Yes
You don't know how happy you've made me!
When Ma hears this, she will also be so glad
I've never seen Lali so happy
It looks as if he's won the world over
I gave birth to him but you've given him a new life
I'm forever obliged to you I want his life...
to be filled with happiness! And I trust you completely
You'll keep him very happy
What will happen to me?
I'm so nervous. - Why?
See how I'm sweating
What will she say when she sees me? Will I be able to say a word?
I haven't seen her in ages! I might faint when I see her
She too might faint out of joy when she sees you
What are you staring at? It's me
Not Rohit's ghost. Alive and kicking. Your very own Rohit
You're looking good
Dazed? Shall I show you some magic?
Shocked out of your wits? At a loss for words?
Take a good look!
I can dance, I can turn around. I can do situps, I can dance
So how is it? Tell me, how was that?
Ask me in
You must've forgotten me. You must've wondered whether I'm alive or not
In that you were wrong
Folks in love don't die
The hearts in which the fires of love burns...
no incident, no pain, no compulsion, can rend asunder
Honestly...
just the thought of seeing you the desire to meet you...
gave me the strength to get well
That saved me. That I stand before you is only because of your love
I swear by you Chandni not for a moment did I forget you
Yes, I've been cheated once. But not again
Ramesh and I have the wedding tied up Before any more hassles crop up...
let's get married Say, yes or no?
You aren't saying a word Not that I ever gave you a chance
Tell me something... say...
you must have cried for me? You must've cursed me
And why not? That's what must've happened. Now, do say something
What do I say?
Rohit, I can't believe this - The phone is ringing
Not used to taking phones? I called from the airport
Kept ringing. Nobody took it
Lalit here
You like the rains don't you?
The sight of the rains remind me of you
Look at the falling raindrops and you'll see in them...
the face of the man who loves you the most
Do you see? Do you see me?
Yes
What spell have you cast on my mother? She's thrilled to bits...
ever since she returned from your place
I told you I'd introduce you to a pal of mine. We'll meet him tomorrow
Bombay rains are wonderful In Delhi...
What's the matter Chandni? Whose call was that?
In my absence has a rival cropped up?
There's somebody else in my life
I'm marrying him
What do you mean?
This cannot be
You are mine, only mine
You can't punish me! You can't punish yourself! You can't punish our love!
You can't belong to anybody else!
You were mine, you are mine and you'll remain mine!
My Chandni! Rohit's Chandni!
Your Chandni? Where was your Chandni when you broke her heart?
When you insulted her love? Did you ever try to find if I was alive?
How I have spent each moment since that day...?
Today I ask you once again...
what would you do in my place? What would you have done?
You are right. I have given you a lot of pain
I thought I could get you back whenever want. I never thought you would...
I've lost you once again This time it is forever
Be happy
Farewell
Tell me what happened
There's another man - Another man?
Do you know who he is? - No
Does he know about you? - I don't know. How is he to blame?
He's standing between the two of you
I feel stifled in this city
I'm taking the flight back to Delhi this evening
What? Won't you wait for my wedding? I'm getting married in 2 days
You have to be at my wedding
Not a word. You must stay
My fiancee, Chandni
My friend Rohit
Won't you greet each other?
I asked Rohit to stay back for our wedding. But he refuses
Not his fault. He's sad
The girl he loved is marrying someone else
But I won't like it if he doesn't stay for our wedding
Tell him. He might listen to you.
Your friend will be happy if you attend his wedding
If you want it, I will. Certainly
You aren't ready yet?
At my friend's wedding I'll be the cynosure of all eyes!
At the rate you are drinking you surely will be
Am I getting drunk? I'm only steeling myself
Had we got married together we'd have had a ball!
If not for mine, then I'll have a ball at yours
Sometimes I feel you're saying something I don't understand
Even I don't understand Anyway, go on
They priest must be asking for you
Go ahead - Come soon
My friend, you accuse me, yet you won't let me have my say
So Rohit ends up as the laughing stock
What's up? Everyone is waiting - Yes Ma, come on
Save my Rohit!
Save him! Or I will die!
Open your eyes!
Ramesh! Please do something! Hurry! Call the doctor!
Is everything all right?
The blood pressure and ECG are fine
He'll be fine in a day or two No cause for worry
Folks in love don't die They don't lose
There's another man
You are mine, only mine! You can't belong to anybody else!
I have also been in love
I want to marry you
But you know nothing about me
Rohit was your past Lalit is your present
I like Chandni a lot
She gives me a lot of hopes
I bore him but you have given him life
I'll be grateful forever
The day Chandni becomes your wife will be an auspicious day
Vermilion looks lovely on you
Is the suite booked? The honeymoon suite
Deck up the room with roses And a champagne bucket
There should be nothing left wanting
A man marries only once
Two tickets, first class
What time is the flight? It's on time?
I've never seen such a gorgeous bride
Get the car
Keep the luggage in the car
Where are you? Not dressed yet? - I'm ready
Where's Ma? - Where will I go? I am here.
It's time for the flight
Will you leave me waiting in the wings? - Late, always
You take as much time as a girl - No nagging. I'll change with time
You're looking beautiful
Hurry up
You've given me lots of love - Live long, be happy
Come on
Mother I'm your other son Don't forget me
Can a mother forget her child? You're my little boy
Go. Be happy
Son, why did you do this?
Ma this was a compromise. Not love One can't live life with a compromise
Maybe you aren't destined to cherish your daughter-in-law
Maybe I'm not destined to find love
"The fire rages again in my heart"
"The rain has sparked the fire again"
"I'm your Chandni"
"You're my moonbeam"
