Yes, he is entering a film studio.
Wonder how many films have been made in this studio.
Many are made, and how many more will continue to be made.
But this studio has not changed.
And neither have the surroundings.
Everything is the same.
Only the films and the ones who make them, keep changing.
There was a time when he used to also make films here.

Madam, Mr. Sinha has walked in at the second chime.
The second number must win today!
Shame!
I've composed a superb tune. Sir chose it as soon as he heard it!
It's composed for the scene...
...when Devdas is going on a bullock cart.
Okay, sing it.
As you wish. It's in perfect harmony.
The pace of the bullock cart will be slow.
And equally slow will be the rhythm of my tune.
Slow... real slow.
Stop that and sing the tune.
As you wish. There were no lyrics...
...so I have used some rubbish...
Sir... as you wish.
Suresh will never make such a mistake.
And why do you forget that you are enacting Paro's role?
The heroine of Devdas. Isn't that enough?
- Enough? Of course, it is! - Very much so!
Mr. Sinha will not give me silk saris for this role.
I cannot apply make-up or adorn my tresses!
Would I look like a heroine or a nag then?
It's one and the same.
What were you saying?
Kanta absolutely despises the role of Paro.
I mean, make the character a little more glamourous.
Please! For my sake!
You will have to change as per the character.
The character will not change for you!
Don't change it much. I want a beauty spot here...
...and a few ringlets.
- Not even one! - Not even a stylish hairdo?
No. You have to be very simple.
Then, I' m sorry, I will not work in this film!
You are being unfair. She can have a stylish hairdo.
Yes.
If you want a stylish hairdo...
...then get the film made by somebody else!
What!
Your hairdo will remain simple!
I deeply regret, but your hairdo will remain simple.
Good-day, sir.

Daddy, when did you come from Bombay? Just now?
Yes, dear.
You had not seen my father, right?
Do one thing. Lock me in the museum here...
...so that your friends can see me to their heart's content.
Pammi, you also go.
Pammi also? Why?
I' m sorry, you cannot meet Pammi. These are her mother's orders.
But she is my daughter too.
But you are not her guardian.
Her mother has enrolled her in our school.
We cannot disobey her orders.
Who?
You appear a bit perturbed, seeing me here.
Good conduct is followed in this house rigidly. Please sit.
Lulu's voice appears a bit feeble. Does it have a cold?
Meet Rita, Suresh. The new member of our family.
Actually, I have come to meet another member of your family.
Your daughter.
Tell my daughter that...
...her husband conveys his regards to her.
I am coming from Dehradun.
As per your orders, I was not allowed to meet Pammi.
I am sure, dear, that Lulu has caught a cold. Or its voice...
I have been feeding it brandy day and night.
Goodbye.
Madam says that she will not meet you.
How is the weather in Mumbai?
I have not come to discuss the weather.
I want to decide something regarding Pammi.
You have wasted your time. We had decided that years ago.
Years ago, your daughter left my house out of her choice.
But now, why are you forcefully snatching away Pammi from me?
Now? You forget that Pammi's been staying with her mother...
...since years.
That's because a small child always needs its mother.
But now, my daughter will stay with me.
Will Sir B.B. Verma's grandchild live...
...in a wretched world of films?
There must be nobody as unfortunate as us, Suresh.
Living in a high society, we feel ashamed to say...
...our girl is married.
As then, people ask us what her husband does.
Why didn't we learn before the wedding...
...that someday, you'd join the world of films?
I don't understand! I ask, why do you consider it to be so bad?
Look, Suresh, only good things are mentioned in this house.
Nothing bad is spoken! Speak about something else.
Then, listen to my final words. Nobody can snatch Pammi from me.
Neither you nor your daughter.
The doors of the Court are open to everyone. Try your luck.
What! You want to take familial matters to Court?
Familial? I have implicit trust in the justice of the British.
I don't want to argue with you.
I' II settle matters only with Beena.
This is the best formula to cure the headache you get in this zoo
The best prescription - brandy!
First listen to the dosages prescribed.
If you want to meet the old man, have one drop.
If you want to meet the old woman, have two drops.
And if you want to meet Beena...
...then a whole bottle also will not suffice.
She declined to meet me.
Ask Rocky what it is to spend your life with these women!
You come only once a year.
Look at me. I am 35 years and 4 months old.
But I have spent 36 years with women!
How is Jimmy feeling?
He's okay now. The doctor has fed it plenty of grams.
Jimmy seems quite healthy.
Dr. Singh's treatment is amazing! Where is Dr. Singh?
I was asking for Dr. Singh.
The one with a shirt, not the one with a blouse.
I am Dr. Singh's daughter.
If you are Mr. Rakesh, then I' m very pleased to meet you.
This is not a horse's hand.
Well, where is your 'pap'?
He isn't here today. I have treated Jimmy.
You did?!
Yes. And I will have to come for some days as papa is not well.
That's really nice!
I mean, you coming. Jimmy started recovering the moment you came.
And I... never mind!
Your papa has typhoid, which lasts for 40 days, right?
No! He has a cold, which lasts for 2 days!
Even then he can't visit the stable.
Suppose the horses sneeze, then?
Fool!
Have you caught a cold?
I mean, the weather is quite strange.
Excuse me, but are you mute?
It's futile asking my name.
I' II be eating at the hostel this evening.
I don't like watching films!
- What! - Yes!
But why are you telling me all this?
Because this is what I have heard about gentlemen nowadays!
If they meet a girl alone, then...
...number one, it's hello. Number two, it's the weather.
Number three, ask her name.
Number four, invite her for lunch or a film.
- Number five... - That's enough.
Then, I am half a gentleman.
Do not fear. I do not go beyond number two.
- Really? - Absolutely.
I' m so sorry, I misunderstood...
Number one, cold. Number two, it's so chilly.
Why didn't you bring your coat?
One gets a cold for free.
But one needs money for a warm coat.
- Take this. - You...
Take.
- But what about you? - I won't catch a cold.
I've had a little brandy.
You have had alcohol?
I believe, people really misbehave after having alcohol.
Some people drink to forget how others misbehave.
Really?
Hey! I forgot, I had to catch a train to Mumbai in 20 minutes.
Excuse me!
Hey, fool! Have you brought an extra or somebody from the road?!
If you repeat this, I shall not spare you!
Make do this time. The next time...
- Hello, sir. - Hello.
The background lighting is ready.
Mount the camera on the crane and get it till here.
Do the lighting, and I' II come.
Hey, you! All the extras have gone to the sets...
...and you' re still here!
I' II leave now.
Take care of the baby.
I ask, why didn't you go?! ...Why don't you answer?
The child was wailing as it was hungry, so I was feeding it.
If you don't have time from your child...
...then why have you come to work!
Yes, sir?
There is no need to hurry.
Put the child to sleep and report to the sets.
Yes, sir.
Come here, dear.
What's your name?
Take this.
What do you want?
Is there a film director, Mr. Sinha, in this company?
- I was waiting for you. - The shooting rushes have come.
Book a theatre during lunch break.
Where did she come from?
Hey, which fool made this woman stand in the middle?
There's a coat in this.
Yes. During the rains... I mean, in Delhi.
You had given it to me under the banyan tree.
Yes! Have you come here to return the coat?
Yes... No! I came to Mumbai in search of a job.
I found your card and address in the coat, so I came here.
I see. Let me take the shot first I' II speak to you after that.
Gupta, give her a chair.
Get the clapperboard.
Bring the crane down.
- Print number 10 and 11. - Okay, sir.
Sir, the girl who had come...
Oh yes! Where is she?
She has left. She's left this coat and letter in your name.
My spectacles.
Please read this.
What have you done? Why did you print this shot?
Wait. Let it go.
I needed just this kind of a face for Paro's role.
Fetch this girl wherever she is. Immediately!
But if I don't know her name and address, then in this big city...
If you don't know, then find every nook and corner of the city.
Spread the news, and in the newspapers...
Walk a little.
Show your profile.
Please smile a little.
Her teeth must be spoilt!
Madam, why do you look so gloomy?!
Have you come here to become a heroine...
...or to mourn for somebody?!
Lady, becoming a heroine is no child's play!
If you can't show your teeth, then deliver a line.
Repeat after me...
What!
I cannot act! I...
I will not become an actress. I will not.
Did you hear?
Why do you want to push her into becoming a heroine?
The girl is okay to look at, but she has a very plain face.
The face should be lively too.
But she just does not know how to smile!
She could not repeat what I said.
Make her a heroine in a silent film!
She will not become a heroine! I have made up my mind!
Gupta, apply make-up for the girl and bring her to the sets.
What!
Decide whatever you have to, after the test.
Am I the owner of this company or is he?
You are, undoubtedly!
What I would always imagine...
...you are exactly that way!
My eyes were searching for someone just like you...
...since a long time.
What?
The same simplicity and innocence.
You are indeed Paro.
Pardon? My name is Shanti.
Yes, the one whom you had given your coat to.
Paro must be somebody else.
Yes. Paro is Devdas' heroine.
The role that I want to give you.
But you have seen that your companions have failed me.
It' II be good if you forgive me. I will not be able to act.
I am happy the way I am.
What do you do?
I have quite a big job. I get Rs.90 at Modern Chemist.
Just Rs.10 less than 100!
Do you know what you will get working for our company?
1,000.
- One... - Thousand.
- You will act now, won't you? - Just wait.
1,000? To lead a luxurious life, at the most, I' II need 150.
The rest? No way!
What will a lone girl do with so much of money?
Alone? What about your parents or relatives?
I have a distant maternal uncle...
...who has always remained distant from me.
I was raised in an orphanage.
What about your studies then?
I used to knit sweaters to buy my books.
My fingers would be on the needles...
...and my eyes, on the books. This way, I passed my matriculation.
Yes?
The more I get to know you, the more I get certain.
You will be a perfect Paro.
Do you trust me so much?
I cannot express how much.
Believe me, you will be a perfect Paro.
Can you trust me?
It's quite strange.
For the first time in life...
...I trust somebody else more than myself.
Take this. These are Paro's dialogues.
I say, hello.
My Jimmy will win this race.
Rakesh, meet my new heroine.
You already know her.
He hails from a very high society.
Not very high. Just 5 feet 8 inches tall.
I meant, Mr. Rakesh is married to wealth.
Oh no! I hate the word marriage.
You see, I want to die a bachelor!
Where are you staying in Mumbai? With friends?
At the Taj. Since the time I've left Delhi...
...I've been moving freely.
There comes my freedom!
She is the Health Officer of all my children.
How many children do you have?
I had 8 last year, and 12 now.
Twelve?!
Five red, and five black.
He has four legged children with tails.
One of them will be participating in this race.
What a child!
Cruel man! You have come to Mumbai, and not even phoned me!
It's time for the race. I' II leave.
Mr. Sinha.
You?
Come here.
A hairdo? Show me your hand.
These nails!
Eyebrows shaped! I ask, what is all this?!
Well... for this party, she...
I see!
So now, you are more interested in parties than your work.
I never expected you to get swayed so soon...
...by the razzmatazz here!
Mr. Sinha.
Mr. Sinha. Please listen to me.
Listen indeed! Your shooting will be held tomorrow.
You have to become Paro. An innocent, simple Indian girl.
How can I shoot with that wild creeper on your head?!
It won't straighten for 10 days!
But I didn't know that this appearance would be...
You probably think that you look very beautiful!
You look like a monkey right now!
- What? - Yes!
You have messed up a lovely, innocent face!
Before getting misled by anyone...
...you should have at least asked me!
Your simplicity held so much... so much of charisma.
- What? - Of course! Am I joking?!
I had heard of an ugly duckling turning into a swan.
But for the first time...
...I've seen a swan turning into an ugly duckling!
Go and enjoy your party!
- Just see if they are ready or not. - Okay.
- Is it okay? - Absolutely.
How did you manage to straighten them so soon?
I was busy with it the whole night.
The whole night? Didn't you sleep?
No. You had said that I am more interested in parties...
...than my work.
- I said that only... - Everything is ready.
I scolded you a lot last night, didn't I?
You called me a monkey.
I wonder why I scolded you so much.
I have never reprimanded any heroine like that before.
Nobody else?
I would get angry with them, but lacked the courage to scold them
Shall I say why? Because you are decent.
- Really? - Yes.
No decent man can shout at a woman who is not his own.
What are you thinking about?
You must have felt quite offended yesterday.
No. Henceforth, I will never feel offended if you scold me.
I understand quite a lot now.
What do you understand?
That you are... you are like a walnut!
Hard on the surface, but soft from within.
"Rustles the wind"
"It whispers to us"
"New desires awaken"
"It will keep bluffing us"
"Fragrant is my mind"
"Mischievously my heart says Come in my arms"
"This breeze drives us crazy"
"My heart wishes to fly"
"Excited it is It does not listen to me"
"This wind..."
"...torments us"
"It's breathtaking"
"This breeze drives us crazy"
Yes, she is here.
Madam... madam.
Let me sleep.
It's 11.30. There's a trunk call from Mumbai.
What! Suresh has met with an accident?
I am sorry to hear about it.
How's he?
If he needs me, then send him here immediately by plane.
He will be completely attended to, here.
What? No, I cannot come there.
I told you, I cannot come there.
It's impossible.
What happened? Won't Mrs. Sinha come?
No.
Surprising!
At such a time, if someone close to Mr. Sinha...
...could stay with him, then...
Anyway, a nurse will remain with him 24 hours a day.
I've given him a morphine injection.
- Let him rest for 10-12 hours. - Very well.
- Let's go. - Yes.
Nurse, phone me as soon as Mr. Sinha regains consciousness.
- Should I reach you home? - No.
I have called for a taxi. Carry on. I' II go on my own.
Okay.
Water.
- Where were you, nurse? - I was...
I hate to be dependent on others.
But these eyes...
Right now, there is nobody else other than you to look after me.
- Is it raining outside? - Yes.
Let me stay in this room.
I love the sound of the rains.
It was raining the other day too.
And the poor girl didn't even have a coat.
Nurse, how is Shanti?
She was also with me in that accident.
I am still with you.
Who's it?
Yes.
You are perfectly okay, aren't you?
Yes, I am. Have some water.
Oh yes! How did you know that I was thirsty?
It's been more than 13 hours since you have had water.
And I know that you are used to drinking water every 2 hours.
Where are the servants?
They are sleeping. It's 2 a.m.
It's quite late at night. Ask the driver to reach you home.
You aren't asking me to stay back?
I want...
I don't want you to undergo any trouble because of me.
Then, ask me not to leave.
No. It's better that you do.
- What is it? - Nothing.
Hey, she's come!
Why are you laughing?
Praises have been showered about your father in this magazine.
Really? What's written?
- Shall I read it? - Yes. Why do you even ask?
Let's read it for her.
Renowned director Suresh Sinha has chosen a new heroine...
...for his film.
It's said that this girl used to sell medicines earlier.
And is now curing Mr. Sinha's heart ailment.
One hopes that Mr. Sinha has taken full advantage...
...of her therapeutic expertise. ...What does it mean?
My father is not like that!
You have always lived away from him.
So how would you know what he's like?
I know! I know everything about him!
If you do, then tell us which film he is directing nowadays.
I... I do not know.
- What is his new heroine's name? - I do not know that either.
- Why doesn't your mother live with him? - I do not know!
Do you know your dad's name or not?
What! What did you say? I' II kill you!
I' II kill you if you speak ill about my father!
Nobody has yet come to the studio.
Why have you come so early?
Even you have come very early.
I have a habit of coming a few hours before shooting begins...
I know.
Really? What else do you know about me?
Everything.
Perhaps, that's why you did not come to inquire about me...
...after that night.
You had asked me not to.
I had asked you to leave.
I didn't prevent you from coming the next day.
So, you wanted me to come?
Whom are you knitting the sweater for?
There is someone.
Mr. Someone or Miss Someone.
Mr. Someone.
But you had once said that you have nobody in this world.
Then, how did this someone...
He is just like me... all alone.
Perhaps you do not know that I have a family.
I know.
"What a sweet calamity has befallen us"
"We are no more the same"
"Restless hearts united..."
"...As if they were never apart"
"We both are lost..."
"...on the same path"
"What a sweet calamity has befallen us"
"We are no more the same"
"Don't know where to go"
"Tried to walk away, But no destination"
"Don't know what is my goal"
"Hearts weave dreams"
"What a sweet calamity has befallen us"
"We are no more the same"
Didn't you hear what mother said?
Your stables in Mumbai...
- Look at this! - I' II leave, pop.
Strange man! Only half his face has a beard.
Look, what's written below.
It's the picture of film personalities.
Film personalities!
You wanted to say something.
- About horses. - About horses!
Rocky, at your Mumbai stables...
I am quite sure that I have seen this man somewhere.
Who, papa?
The one whose photo is in this newspaper.
You see him everyday. In fact, you are seeing him even now.
The moustache and the beard have been drawn with a pencil.
Why did you leave the job incomplete?
It's your photograph!
It's such a shame, papa!
Suresh is not concerned about our family's honour...
...as he is an outsider.
But now, even a son from this family is heading towards films!
My son! I cannot believe it!
Mom, answer papa.
First, you answer me.
How did you land up with those cheap film people?!
In a taxi.
Firstly, Sir B.B. Verma's son went to cheap film personalities...
...and that too, in an ordinary taxi!
What they must be thinking about us?
They do not think about us.
Look at the way Rocky is looking at this actress.
Even Suresh used to look at me that way before marriage.
Suresh was wise before he got married.
It's a family matter. Let it remain in stock.
I' II take it back some other time.
Who are you?
He is my father.
- Your? - Daddy.
Why have you put up only my father's photograph here?
Why are you quiet? Answer me.
Whose photograph will I put up then?
I have no relative or friend.
Implying, my father means everything to you?
When did you come from school?
Will you be staying with your father?
Answer my question first! And then, I will answer yours.
What... what answer do I give?
- You are still a child. - I am not a child!
I have run away from school and come to you.
Can a child do this?!
Run away?
You should not have done this.
Why have you run away and come here?
- To fight with you. - Fight?
I see. Go ahead.
But how can you fight well after a tiresome journey?
Freshen up and have some sweets.
I will not have any sweets! Do not deceive me!
I know that you don't love me!
- How do you know? - You are mother's rival!
Then, how can you love her daughter?
You are your father's daughter too.
And, my dear, I hold no animosity towards your mother.
You are lying! You are snatching my father away from my mother!
But I will not let this happen, understand?!
You misunderstand, Pammi.
They have been living separately much before I came here.
That's because I was small. But I have become sensible now.
If I try, then they could be united.
But that will never happen as long as you are here!
I think you misunderstand me.
Then why have you hung such a big picture of dad? Answer me!
I told you I am not a child. I understand everything.
My foot, you understand everything!
If your parents live separately, I am not to be blamed...
...your mother is!
Who are you to speak ill about my mother?!
Whatever transpires in our house, is a personal matter.
What right do you have, to interfere in other's lives?!
Then, neither do you have a right to interfere in mine!
After being subjected to cruel fate all my life...
...I have acquired little happiness...
...for the first time in life.
It may be incomplete, but it means everything to me.
I cannot lose it at any cost!
You have no parents.
But I do.
There is mother's house and father's too.
And the hostel is my house.
All three of us have separate homes.
My endeavours were to bring the three of us to live together
But you will not let this happen.
What do you know about living like an orphan...
...in spite of having parents?!
Naughty girl! Now I know why you ran away from school.
- To meet your father, right? - Yes.
- But how did you know? - Your grandpa had called.
You won't send me back soon, will you?
Let your grandpa become thin, getting worried about you.
Until then, I will show my daughter around Mumbai.
And I will even show you the premiere of my new film today.
So, will your new heroine also be there today?
- Yes. Why? - I just asked.
Greater heroines will burn with envy at your success.
Ms. Shanti, you are very fortunate.
Where are you going? There's more to come.
Come, Suresh.
Please stand closer.
Look here.
You will fulfil my promise, won't you?
No! No way!
You are playing a good joke.
But I know very well that a sensible girl like you...
...does not reject name and wealth this way.
I have made up my mind not to act in films now.
Why?
You have gone crazy!
Your name has created waves in the film industry.
And you are intentionally destroying a sparkling future.
It's my future, not somebody else's.
Damn others!
Every sensible man is concerned only about his welfare.
- No! - I am not your enemy.
- I should not be doing this. - You are like a daughter to me.
- I'll go somewhere far away. - I won't let you make this blunder.
I will not work now.
- I will not work now! - Why not?!
Don't forget that you've signed a 7 years contract with me!
I will sue you!
Do as you please, but you cannot compel me.
Why not?! I... I will double your income!
- Not even then. - A three-fold increase!
- Not even then! - A four-fold increase!
Not even a hundred-fold increase Please do not harass me!
Sir, there is a call for you.
What!
But how?
Shanti is leaving Mumbai, Pammi.
- Was it Shanti's telephone? - It was the boss' phone.
- But why are you so worried? - Me? Why should I be?
- When did you meet Shanti?! - Meet Shanti? No, I did not!
Do not lie! You had asked her to promise something...
...at the theatre yesterday.
And today, she is leaving behind her work and home.
- This was the promise, right? - What could I do, daddy?
Slanderous articles are written...
...about the two of you in the papers.
People malign you. My friends at school taunt me!
If you held any grudge against me, then you should have told me!
What right did you have, to be unjust to that innocent girl?!
You have scolded me for the first time in life.
You deserve that!
You are a child. Concentrate on your studies.
Instead, you escape from school and interfere in adult matters!
You were not annoyed with me yesterday...
...for escaping from school.
But today... today, it is something else altogether!
Come in.
- The flat seems quite good. - Yes.
You have been staying here since quite a few months, haven't you?
Ten.
Have you come here after so many months to see my house?
No, I...
Are you leaving?
Yes. I wanted to inform you before leaving, but...
There is no need to inform. I can understand why you are leaving.
I was sure that you would understand.
We have always understood one another.
- Right? - Always.
Sometimes, why do people start understanding each other...
...so well?
Why?!
I wish it was not so.
Neither would matters reach this stage.
Nor would you have to leave everything and go today.
Man can run away from everything.
But not from his fate.
Listen.
I hate a running nose. Pammi!
I knew that you had instigated Pammi and brought her here!
- Please sit. - No, thank you.
I have no time. I want to take away Pammi immediately.
- What? - Yes!
You cannot take her.
I can do what I please. Who will stop me?
I will! And if need be, then I will use force too.
Suresh, I warn you that you'll face dire consequences...
...for challenging me! - I don't care.
I will file a case against you! I will call the police!
Do what you please!
Nobody can snatch my girl away from me now. Nobody!
Well, don't say later that I didn't warn you!
The Court feels that Pramila is not old enough...
...to decide what's good or bad for her.
The Court has to decide in whose custody she would be better off.
Her mother or her father's.
Mr. Sinha, for how long has Pammi been staying away from you?
Since the time her mother left me. It's been 9 years now.
- And you want to keep your daughter with you? - Yes.
- Barring the servants, you live all alone at home. - Yes.
Will you be able to raise your daughter all alone?
- Certainly. - How?
You have to be at the studio all night for shooting and editing.
Who will look after your daughter then?
I will keep a trustworthy servant.
When you have to go for an outdoor shooting...
...and stay out of Mumbai for 2 months...
...will you leave Pammi at the servant's custody then?
Sir, I can take her with me.
But you will have to remove her from school then.
And studies are of paramount importance at this age.
But she also needs a father.
And even I need my daughter.
- Didn't you ever feel this need before? - I always did.
I have been living alone since 9 years.
Earlier, it had become a habit.
But now, that loneliness has become a burden.
I have never experienced such loneliness ever before, My Lord.
If Pammi is also snatched away from, then...
It's Pammi's welfare that the Court is concerned about...
...not yours.
In the husband-wife conflict...
...she stands to lose the love of one parent.
Why don't you compromise for your daughter's welfare?
It is for her welfare that I will never compromise.
And I do not want my daughter to be...
...under the bad influence of films.
The Court regrets that...
...Pramila's parents could not reach a compromise.
So, keeping in mind the welfare of Pramila...
...the Court reaches a verdict that...
...she be handed to her mother's custody.
Bearer, bring me whisky.
Hey, it's 11 o'clock. Sir is not yet ready.
He is shooting today.
It's been very long since I got lucky in gambling.
What can you do, boy?
Mr. Sinha's has lost his good fortune, and so have you.
How is your new girlfriend?
What do I say, sir? I proposed marriage to her just yesterday.
And like the previous girl, this one also openly refused.
You got saved... Take this and enjoy yourself.
- I was thinking about something. - Too bad! Too bad!
Don't do a man's job.
I was thinking, what a girl feels if she receives a proposal.
I can answer that only after I become a girl.
If you wish, then I can find out right away.
Do not pretend! You know how!
I'll call John. He is an expert in proposing marriage.
I am asking you to propose marriage to me!
Propose marriage to me!
I'll first go and do something else.
We'll talk about marriage later.
Where are you going?
Why do you look so distressed?
"What we call marriage"
"You know it means ruination"
"If you get lured You will regret later"
"Mind you, you will lose your freedom"
"Come and go whenever you wish"
"You can settle anywhere you like"
"Sing on the streets, Blow a whistle"
"Begin the day anywhere"
"Wow"
"What we call marriage"
"In any house we step"
"we are shown good hospitality"
"Once I get married"
"no damsel will look at me"
"What we call marriage"
"This fun and excitement"
"Thanks to my friends"
"Fortunately, fate is with me"
"Why does the world envy me"
"Wow"
"What we call marriage"
"You know it means ruination"
"If you get lured You will regret later"
"Mind you, you will lose your freedom"
Good-day.
Bring the scene for the day.
Sir, perhaps, you don't remember...
...that we have to shoot a song today.
Yes. On my part, I have kept everything ready.
They have rehearsed too. If you would like to see, then...
There is no need. Let's have a take.
Is the lighting ready?
Get the clapperboard.
"Tried all the possible moves"
"Welcomed every challenge with a smile"
"Now look at the move of fate"
"How it trapped you"
"Victory and failure are part of the game"
Let's run away.
- Hey, where are you running? - No where.
The police. What are you looking at my face for? Call the police!
Go!
- What's wrong? - Wrong?!
My theatre is not safe now because of your film!
Friends, he is Sinha, the one who has shown this miserable film!
For the kind of film he's made...
...he should be rewarded accordingly!
Tell us a story today.
Yes, tell us a story today.
One, two, three.
Four and five, six and seven.
Eight and nine.
They lived together but they had plenty of conflicts.
"One, two, three. Four and five"
"Six and seven. Eight and nine"
"They lived together but they had plenty of conflicts".
"Nine said, eight is a nobody. A smaller entity has no status".
"And eight laughed and mocked at seven".
"Seven said to six, why did you laugh?"
"And there was a fight between all of them"
"Everyone tried to boss over each other"
"Kept staring at everyone, the youngest of all One"
"Poor One, used to wander alone"
"It found a worthless thing on the way"
"One asked, Who are you"
"It said I am Zero"
"One thought even it was youngest and inferior"
"They used and became Ten"
"And they were lucky then"
What happened then?
Yes, what happened then?
"When they saw 1 become 10"
"all of them condemned zero"
"Nine looked lovingly"
"Eight created a ruckus"
"Seven spread a colourful trap"
"Six raised a storm"
"They tried to separate One from Zero"
"And snatched away each other's support"
"Poor One"
"started wandering alone once again"
"One, two, three. Four and five"
Even your last film has flopped, Suresh!
Yes, I have heard it.
I've called you here to talk about its outcome!
I know that you have incurred a loss of Rs. 500,000- 700,000.
Do not worry. You will earn more than this from my next film.
I certainly will! I have made complete arrangements for that!
So soon? I have not yet decided about a story...
Do not worry. I have a story prepared.
Then, narrate it to me sometimes. First, I should approve...
There is no need for you to approve!
You have to shoot only what's written and given to you!
You will not be able to change even a single word!
- What! - Yes!
You will not interfere with the story, music or anything else!
I will arrange for everything!
You cannot humiliate me like this and make a film!
If you want to arrange for everything...
...then get the film also made by someone else!
I have arranged for that also.
You are incapable of directing my films!
What did you say?
What did you say?! I am incapable of directing films?!
You have minted money with my films.
And now, you say that I am incapable of directing films!
You were successful, but not anymore!
This is the world of cinema.
I cannot be unjust to 500 people in the company...
...just for your sake!
You are mentally drained out!
Perhaps, you will never make a successful film again!
I am not finished. I will prove it to you that I am not finished
I am only...
...tired.
The widespread dilemma...
...the internal restlessness...
...and the numerous worries.
For how long can someone shoulder this burden?
Rs. 6, one... Rs. 6, two, Rs. 6, three.
- Rs. 5. - Rs. 5... Rs. 6.
Rs. 8... Rs. 10.
- Rs. 12... Rs. 13. - Rs. 14.
- Rs. 15. - Rs. 15, one...
- Rs. 17. - Rs. 17, one...
Auctioning was inevitable. For how long would it be evasive?
It's been two years since he has no work.
Two years.
In these two years, he earnestly tried to acquire a job.
But of no avail.
And how could he get a job?
In the film world, if a man faces downfall once...
...he continues to do so.
And nobody bothers about his well-being.
Neither are there people to see his work or give him work.
People who see his work have forgotten him.
And the people who give him work are gradually forgetting him.
This is the way of the film world.
It may take time to acquire name and fame.
But it does not take long for one's name to be erased.
Another horse of mine also won today. It's a lucky day for me.
For me too. I have won the case against Shanti today.
After 2 years!
- After 2 years? - Yes.
Anyway, you have won the case. What price will you get for it?
A very high price! Shanti will have to resume work.
Shanti will not resume work.
But she has lost the case!
A few days back, when I was in Delhi, I learnt that...
...Suresh's house was auctioned. Didn't you go to stake a price?
Well... no.
Will Shanti return to your company even now?
Why are you bothered about Shanti's return?!
Did you see how a woman's brains function?
What!
I mean, it's like a delicate flower.
Excuse me, I'll just talk to him... Please come.
Let's go.
Mr. Rakesh?
Put me down.
Well, children, make way.
Children, go away.
You... I'm sorry, ladies first.
What are you doing here?
Hunting... What about you?
I teach children.
Where are you coming from?
From Mumbai. The race season has just ended.
At the last race, I met the owner of your company...
Mr. Dayaram.
I met him. I learnt that you have lost the case.
So, will you have to go back to work?
What other news do you have of Mumbai?
The poor fellow was shot.
- Who? - Moti, the champion horse.
It earned millions for its owner...
...but broke its leg in the last race.
Why?
A three-legged horse is useless.
The bazaar of wealth functions in this manner.
You earn millions because of some thing.
But the moment you earn some name, you throw away that thing.
I feel you haven't come to talk about hunting or horses.
Then, why don't you speak explicitly?
The film world has thrown away Suresh too in the same manner.
- What! - Yes.
If you return to work...
...then Mr. Seth is willing to ask Suresh to direct his films.
He has promised me. What's your answer?
Is there a need for an answer?
So, sir has called me back?
- Yes, he has. - He has asked you to come soon.
Surprising! I think I misunderstood him.
He is not a bad man.
I am pleased.
He eventually did realise that he needed me.
- Shall we make him happier? - No problem.
The heroine of the film you direct...
...will be Shantidevi.
Yes. She may not have returned to work...
...even after losing the case but...
- Then, why did she return? - We cannot tell you that.
Because if we do, then you will not come with us.
- And we've come to take you along. - Then, how can we tell?
What's wrong?
Rs. 1 and 13 annas.
One anna more.
What happened? Why don't you answer?
Didn't Suresh come? What did he say?
Shanti? Did you see? What more can I do now?
How much can I help a man who does not wish good for himself?
Do not misunderstand.
The doors of this company are always open for him.
You have returned. Watch, he will also surely return someday.
Come.
Did you like my new flat?
There's everything here.
A roof to protect from the sun and the rains.
A floor to sleep on.
You' re standing?
Please wait.
This is a novel sofa design.
No other rich man in the city will have it.
Sit.
Do you knit sweaters now?
That was the last sweater.
But now, I will start knitting again.
You have returned after a long time.
...a toast in the joy of your return!
People do not consume poison when they are happy.
They do not consume poison.
Perhaps, this is a dialogue from your new film.
Neither is this poison nor nectar.
This is alcohol.
The last ray of hope for the ones...
...habituated to remaining intoxicated.
The high experienced by fame and success, wealth and love...
When it is felt no more...
...then people take solace in this.
He needs me or you?
He needs you much more than he needs me.
Look, Shanti, we have always understood each other.
So do not refuse me.
I know that you have returned only to get me a job.
Why would I return only for you? What do you mean to me?
You were right.
Name and wealth give you a very heady feeling.
I have returned for all this, not for you.
Shanti, if you are a good artiste...
...then neither am I a bad director.
That's why I have come to you.
I know I will not be able to act...
...as well with other directors as I can, under your direction.
I am only interested in having you back in the company...
...nothing else.
Thank you.
After ages, somebody has appreciated my direction.
Let me have another drink on this joyous occasion.
- I say, don't drink any more! - Let me celebrate, Shanti!
No! This will completely ruin you!
I will certainly not let you drink!
But why are you stopping me? What do I mean to you?
We can never misunderstand each other.
Never.
You know that after losing everything...
...I possess only one thing.
My self-respect.
And I entrust it to you now.
If you wish, then you may take me to sir.
What have you decided?
Should I come along?
I was writing your wedding card.
Please hold this.
Have you brought it for Pammi?
Send one card to Rajasaheb...
Do you know who will be attending the wedding?
A strange thing has happened.
The Viceroy will be attending the wedding of an Indian.
Right, papa?
Will Pramila's father be attending the wedding too?
Then, two unique things will happen in unison in my wedding.
- But what are you doing here now? - I'm holding these flowers.
- I mean, where is Pammi?! - Pammi? Is she not in her room?
She told me early in the morning that she's going to meet Jessie.
If she has lied early in the morning...
...then something is the matter.
Where has that girl gone?
Where could she go?
Rs. 3 for the last two days.
Be patient. Business is slack now.
As soon as I get all my dues, I will pay you.
Sir, you' re still sitting with this?
The accounts can be done later also. Come and have dinner.
You provided me with shelter.
For that gratitude, these petty errands...
What are you saying, sir!
I was working for you for so many years.
You are the owner of this garage.
Sir, your daughter! Your daughter is here!
Look, how she has grown up!
Don't tell her.
My condition... don't tell her anything, Anwar.
There's less air in the rear wheel. Inflate it.
Hello, baby.
- Hey! You? Anwar, you? Is this your garage? - Yes.
Where is father? Do you know where he is?
Well... no. I have not seen him since many days.
You must have heard something about him.
I came to search for him.
She had come to take you. She is going to get married.
Married?
Pammi is getting married?
My daughter is getting married?
Who are you?
What have you come to take from me now?
I have lost everything.
Everything. So now...
Oh yes.
I had bought your father's house.
- If you want... - No.
I have only come to ask you for father's whereabouts.
His whereabouts?
He is not at the same place today where he was yesterday.
And where he is today, he will not be there tomorrow.
When he himself does not know about his whereabouts...
...then what can I say?
Yet, tell me something.
Where and when did you meet him the last time?
When did I meet him?
Yesterday or day before yesterday.
Maybe, last week.
No... Last month.
I cannot remember.
Days come, and days go.
I don't remember them.
I don't remember anything else now other than bygone memories.
Yes, I want to buy a gift.
You will have my make-up done, won't you?
My daughter is getting married.
I told you, your work will be done.
A friend in need is a friend indeed.
Wow! Well said!
A friend who is present when you drink, is a friend indeed!
Do you know whom you are giving these drinks to?
Had you seen the film 'Devdas'?
Which role of an extra had he played?
Hey, fool! He is the director of the film!
Hey, I am not a fool, you are!
- What did you say! - I say, you are a fool!
- Say it again! - You are a fool!
Hey, catch him.
Come on! You drink, and then create a fight!
Hey, walk straight! You drink, and then create a fight!
Sir, you?
And seen at such a sleazy place?
What a shame! Sir, go home.
- Who was he? - He was a renowned film director.
What glorious days he's had!
But one never knows in the film world!
The one who was right on top, has fallen flat on his face!
Hey, get up! Apply your make-up.
Hey, didn't you hear? Apply your make-up.
Hurry up!
Come here!
Have you memorised the dialogue? Come on!
- Gopal, will he deliver the dialogues? - Yes.
Sit here.
Bow your head. Have you memorised the dialogue? Come on, say it.
Even I am in search of peace (shanti).
Immortal peace.
Come.
Let's have the lights.
Move aside.
Revered one.
The ones for whom all the paths of the world are closed...
...and who have gone astray come here.
Have you also gone astray?
Hey, why are you staring? Say your dialogue!
Madam, give the cue again.
Have you also gone astray?
Hey, Gopal, which fool have you brought? Throw him out!
Call another extra... Hey, get out!
Hey! Where are you taking the company's bedsheet to?
Here is your belonging!
Mr. Sinha!
"Fly away O Thirsty bee"
"You won't find nectar here"
"Where fake flowers bloom"
"don't sit in those blossoms"
"Naive desires in heart"
"The world gives with one hand"
"And takes away with several hands"
"Since a long time this game"
"is going on"
"Everyone parted"
"Everyone parted one by one"
"I saw how loyal the world is"
"Everyone parted one by one"
"With what shall I meet the world"
"I have nothing but tears"
"Where there were only flowers on my path"
"Now I can't even expect thorns"
"Selfish is the world"
"Everyone parted"
"Everyone parted one by one"
Hey! Who is sitting on the director's chair?
The door was shut during lunch break, right?
How did he enter in then?
Mr. Sinha.
Mr. Sinha!
Why has a crowd gathered? Take him away.
It's the heroine's last date today.
The work should be completed by 6.30.
Why are you looking at me?
Have you never seen a corpse before? Take it away!
