"How did you manage that?" "!" "I conned her so well, I could have put Meena Kumari to shame!" "Hey, don't we have Ms. Choudhari now?" "Lets faf right at the back!" "She'll sit with a novel and say." "Write an essay of 5 pages!" "Sit down." "I'll take the roll call later." " First write an essay - 5 pages Topic?" "The Roll of Cinema on the Public." "It's Saturday." "Let's go see a movie."

"Bury me alive, but my love is undying!" "Finale!" "Kusum, what's happening there?" "!" "They're talking about the movies Madam!" "Yes Ma'am, it's about the essay." "We're exchanging notes." "Right." "All right." "That will do." "Come on, will you go with us?" "No, Bhabi might get mad." "You can tell her you were studying at Tara's." "No, I wouldn't lie to her." "But you did, the last week!" "That was for "Anupama"." "I'll go if we watch "Anupama"." "That's the second time!" "?" "So?" "Look how Dharmendra has acted!" ""Anupama" it is then." "Guddi..." " Yes, daddy?" "You're so late." " We had special classes daddy." "Final exams are approaching..." "But then you could inform us, dear." "We worry, you know..." "Bhabhi has been up and down worried sick." "Right... go on..." "Bhabhi..." "I'm starved." "I'd like something quickly..." "You've dumped your books again!" "How often have I to stop you..." "Sorry, Bhabhi." " "Anupama"?" "Bhabhi, give me your hand..." "What's that for?" "I had this ugly thought in the morning!" "You were feverish and I was looking after you!" "There now, I bit the ill feeling away." "Which one?" "The fever - or the care?" "!" "Both...!" "Abracadabra boo!" "OK." "Where have you been today?" "Today?" "We had special classes, we were given a test." "But when I went to school, I was told you had a half day at 01.30 hrs?" "Father said you went up and down ten times." "When did you go to school?" "You little liar." "Yet again you went for a movie." "Who with?" "Lata and Tara." "Guddi, look, if you don't do well, I will be blamed." "People will think that no one really cared for you except your mother." "Am I not like your mother?" "Oh Bhabhi, this will never repeat again." "Wait and see, I'll top the class." "So what's up, everybody?" "I'm famished." "Guddi, look what I've brought." "What's it, Bhaiyya?" "Wait...!" "A frock!" "Thank you so much!" "...Bhabhi!" "Look at what Bhaiyya bought." "Beautiful, wonderful, one sea two flowers." "What's all this?" "Anupama's housefull!" "And where are you going?" "!" " I'll be back..." "At least finish eating...?" "Here you go..." "here's your blouse-piece" "How large is it?" " One meter...?" "All that much?" "I only need 75 cms." "You keep losing weight." "What can I do?" "When was I all that plump that I needed one meter?" "Hey what are you doing - hey!" "She worships you, you've bought her a new dress!" "I see, and where did you pick that up from?" "From Bhabhi!" "Like it, Bhabhi?" " It's too short." "But that's the style!" "It's a mini!" " No style, nothing." "A young girl should wear a sari." "Malasinha's so much older." "She wears them too!" "I'm playing badminton." "I'm with Lata and Tara." "Don't get the girl frocks, please." "She should wear saris." "Girl?" "What girl, she's my sister!" " Yes but she is like my daughter." "Ah, if you do want to be a mother..." "Oh stop teasing..." "She's even forgotten to eat!" "Bhaiyya, telegram." " A telegram?" "Oh God!" "From whom?" "In his last letter Mamaji had mentioned he was ill." "But it is from Mamaji!" " Why?" "What's wrong?" "Your brother's arriving!" " Who?" "Navin?" "Yes." "For some interview." "I'll go fetch him." "Go on, I'll follow you" "Ah Navin, young man, you're here!" "Bless you, son!" "Where's Kishan?" "Didn't he fetch you" " Yes he's coming, he's outside." "What's that, Sir!" "?" "What?" "Chess hasn't been played for a year!" "?" "It's not been touched since I left?" "OK, let's see you make a move." " Right, lets play!" "Hmmm!" "You've just arrived and you've started playing!" "Did you meet your sister?" "Of course he'll meet her, where's the hurry?" "Where's Navin?" "Hasn't he come with you?" "He has." "He's already playing chess with father!" "It's started!" "At least father will have some company now." "He's been lonely since mother passed away..." "Why, am I not around?" " Yes, and he's quite bored..." "What!" "?" "There's a horse left..." "Navin, how's Mamaji?" " All gone." "What!" "?" "What happened?" " Lost a horse..." "A horse!" "?" "When did he have a horse?" " Oh, not him, my horse..." "Statue!" "What... what's this?" "It's our game, father." "Until I say "Over", she does not move!" "Give an "Over" dear, tell her "Over"" "Over!" " Bahu, get some tea dear." "You're not allowed tea, father, Doctor's orders!" "Right, then get some for Navin." " He can have some when he comes up." "Didi..." " Yes." "Come here..." "Hi Motu!" "Fatso!" " Who says I'm fat!" "So neither am I short." "Look how tall I've grown." "Statue!" "Aaah you moved!" "Come here, come here, now!" "Dum dum dum!" "You're so wicked." "I thought I'd be the first to freeze you and you had to start..." "Wait." "I'm caught - let me finish." "Papa, please, go on, play later." " Leave me, naughty, shooo!" "Why don't you lose?" "Pack up, please." "You won't finish till its dark" " Oh go on." "It's all right." "Go." "We'll continue in the night." " Right." "Thank you." " What for?" "He almost killed me." "You saved me." "I almost lost my horse to him." "I'll keep my books." " Quickly." "Didi, oh Didi..." "Stop yelling!" " Why should I stop yelling?" "I've come after so long..." "you don't even talk to me?" "Stop it, I'll whack you now." "Don't you wash before eating?" "But I'll have to wash up after eating." "Why do it twice?" "Navin, how is Mamaji?" "OK." "He complains a lot." "He says if you had parents you'd visit more often." "He's only an uncle." "Why would you visit him, he says!" "That's not it Navin." "There's father, husband's office, Guddi's school..." "Bhabhi...!" "Let's go for a picnic tomorrow." "The way we went last year..." "Don't you have school?" "It's a holiday, Bhabhi, and Bhaiyya might also have a holiday." "Bhabhi, may I wear this dress when I go?" "No, wear a sari and go." "I won't let you go in half a dress with Navin." "It's a mini." "By saying that it's half, you make it even shorter!" "Listen, Guddi, you are not a baby." "Wear the sari." "I won't wear the sari." " Then you can't go!" "Fine, I won't go!" "Right, do as you please you're a grown girl!" "Who am I to say anything!" "?" "The Government is building a huge bridge... they want to interview me." "What do you have to do with bridge building." "Naveen is an engineer, father." "Oh, that's right, Masterji had said you were studying engineering." "Masterji?" "Your Uncle" " Mamaji, father has never called him Professor." "Your medicine, father." "Where's Guddi disappeared?" "It's a quarter to six." "Doesn't she want to go for the movie?" "Bless you child." "Who's lovely child is this Bahu?" "It's our own Guddi, Father." " Really?" "Let me take a look." "Turn around dear, turn..." "Oh of course, my little girl." "When did you grow up so fast." "How divine you look in a sari." "Hmmm!" "You call me Guddi and you make me wear a sari?" "OK, no more Guddi, only Kusum!" "From now on "Shorty" will never figure." "Naveen never call Shorty, I mean Kusum, names again!" "OK, you guys move along now It's already six o'clock" "Go on!" "She is a grown girl now." "I guess so, but I don't need anxiety about her marriage" "As if you could be bothered." "I am part of the family..." "It's my responsibility too" "And have you thought of something?" "Yes, in a way!" "What?" "Who!" "?" "Naveen!" "I'll speak with Mamaji later." "That's nice." "That's a lovely thought bahu" "Then dowry won't be such an issue" "Masterji is any way against the idea" "Bahu, you haven't been to Bombay in a long while." "Listen, wait for Guddi's exams to get over and then you could take her... to meet Masterji." "You could talk..." "But father, we should let Naveen decide." "He should make up his mind." "Why don't you check with him before leaving?" "I will." "Just leave it to me." "Kusum you're annoyed because we didn't go for a movie?" "When you come to Bombay I'll take you everyday" "Lies!" "I promise." ". believe me!" "You've spoilt the whole day!" "What was wrong with a movie?" "Where has it been spoilt?" "I think it's been a lovely day." "You've been with me!" "As if I wouldn't be with you at the movies." "Yeah... but the crowd..." "You don't want crowds at the movies?" "Yes." "That's why I've brought you here." "You could get lost in there..." "Get lost?" "Am I a baby?" " Yes." "You haven't understood why..." "We chose the movies?" " I did understand." "I'm not daft!" "Prove it!" "Prove it?" "You dislike movies." "You prefer these ruins, statues and..." "Kusum, think, these ruins are thousands of years old." "Today, you and I stand here with..." " Naveen!" "Oh that's the same dialogue in the movie "Night has to fall"..." "You can think of nothing except movies!" "I know." "I do like them a great deal!" "The noise and action, song and dance!" "OK, sing a song!" " No, not now." "Perhaps tomorrow." "But I leave tomorrow." " Why?" "Stay back a day?" "Nothing's urgent!" "I've got the interview, remember, just watch me become an engineer..." "Build a bridge across the river, go for a boat ride each day..." "Will you take me?" " Definitely." "Promise?" " Promise." "But for now, sing for me." "What are you thinking of?" "Which film song to sing!" " Oh no, not a film song!" ".." "Why not?" "They all sound the same, fifty violins screeching..." "That classical one..." "Which one?" "..."Paapi hara"?" " Yes!" "Tell me." "Why don't you tell me?" " Don't hassle me." "Didi, how should I know?" "You wouldn't know whether you like her?" "She's alright, I guess." "So then you do fancy her!" "Shall I speak with Mamaji?" "Tea!" " Thank you!" "Huh!" "Thank you!" "Can't wait a day longer." "And he belts out orders as if he's at a restaurant..." "Look, you couldn't get a better girl than my sis-in-law!" "I'll write to Mamaji tomorrow" "As if that's important!" "Have you asked her?" "I could, for your sake!" "You talk as if you've been bribed by the in-laws!" "My in-laws could be yours too!" "If they become mine, then you are done for!" "Is that right?" "Who's this?" "Hema Malini." "What happened" " Nothing." "Jitendra's photo." "Good God!" "Kusum, do you know, when Jitendra had fever," "I rubbed his photo with a wet towel!" "So, if Rajesh Khanna had sore eyes what would you do?" "I would give my life for him, right Kusum!" "?" "Wrong number!" "It's Dharmendra over there!" "No Dharmendra, nothing." "The exams come galloping." "If I don't do well, my Bhabhi's blamed." "No films and no stars for a month Just sit and mug." "You want to fall sick?" "You are reading day and night" "I've got to come first, right Bhabhi?" "Go on, get some air..." " Kusum..." "Tara, take her out with you..." "Kusum, there's a shoot at the fort tomorrow." "Coming?" "No, there are exams and classes..." "Waheeda and Dharmendra will be there!" "Dharmendra?" " Yes." "How do you know?" " My brother said so." "He knows them." "Will he let us see the shoot?" " Why not?" "I'll tell him." "Kundan Bhaiyya's at home?" "Yes." " So let's catch him." "What have you worn - you sample!" "This?" "You wouldn't understand!" "It's the latest Shammi Kapoor style." "Kundan, why don't you get a job?" "It's 2 years since you stopped studying." "Studies wouldn't help your son, Mother..." "Most people do not have what I have!" "And which of your qualities have I missed out on?" "The whole world has seen them, Mom, This face and this voice... that's all a hero really needs!" "Film offers should pour in soon!" "They've spoken to Sadhana" "Sadhana?" "Sadhana who?" "Bunty's aunt?" "Oh mother!" "Sadhana the great, the great film star" "It's not long before you'll have a car and a bungalow, trust me!" "You haven't given birth to a son..." "you've given birth to a phenomenon!" "Do you have 10 rupees?" ".." "Quick mom, I have an appointment" "That's like a sweet girl!" "Thank you mom...!" "Bhaiyya take us for that film shoot!" "?" " No, You might be a disturbance..." "No disturbance, Bhaiyya, we'll watch from far..." "Oh, you girls do not understand..." "When acting, if there is disturbance, the actor loses out an expression." "I mean..." "Oh, go on Bhaiyya, you're faffing..." "I doubt if anyone even knows you there!" "No one knows me?" "There's Dharmendra, Dharmendra does what I say..." "Anyway... who's going?" "Only ten of us..." " Any teacher?" "No." "Right, I'll inform Quader the Controller of Production." "Quader Bhai..." "Have you anything for me?" " Don't worry," "I've got lots of sets I'll be shooting on..." "Could you begin shooting soon?" " How can I begin so quickly?" "I'm short on 4-5000/- rupees." "Once I manage that, we start next month." "We've got Dharam though..." " Dharam?" "Dharmendra, our dear friend?" "I'll give you a chance a side role" " Thanks a lot..." "What was that?" " Thank you...!" "One favor... if you could manage Rs.4- 5000/-, go to Bombay and deposit it at Ranjit Studio..." "Which one?" "Ranjit Studio." "Yes, go there and ask for Quaderbhai..." "Who?" "Quaderbhai." " Right." "And where does Quaderbhai live?" "Anyone could tell you, and I'll set the mahurat!" "Quaderbhai..." " Yes?" "One question..." "Will Sadhana be my heroine?" "You amaze me!"

" My God!" "She pesters each day," "Quaderbhai when do we start, when?" "When do you become producer?" "I haven't had the chance, you see!" "Now that you'll manage this finance we start immediately." "Quader!" "Can we have some tea?" "Dharmendra - our friend!" "He only drinks the tea I bring him!" "I'll have to go..." "What had you said in English?" "Thanks a lot..." "Lot!" "Kusum?" "Pen." " You're all from one school?" "Yes." "You all haven't done the bunk, have you?" "No, we've taken leave." "You've got a great teacher if she leaves you to see a shoot!" "No, no." "We've had a half day." "Our principal expired!" "I used to say the same thing when I'd go watch a hockey match." "I've killed just as many principals!" "Where's Waheeda?" " Tch!" "Tch!" "She's older, you say Waheedaji!" "Sorry" "That's all right." "She's over there." "You've forgotten your pen..." " Thank you." "Don't you want to meet Waheedaji?" " Autograph." "What's this..."Anupama"!" "?" "You've seen it?" "Three times." "Good God!" "Bunking school?" " No." "Then how?" "Once with my family" " And the remaining...!" "So, did you like "Anupama"?" " Very much." "And the other movies you've seen?" "Phool aur Pathar", "Deewar", "Bandini"..." "All your movies!" "Your pen please... your name?" " Kusum." "Kusum... with love... date?" " 6th." "6/6/..." " '70 '70" " Thank you." "Happy?" "Thank you very much." "Meera's love is immortal." "His image haunted her, he was her guide, her reason to live..." "Did Meera marry?" "Teacher..." "Yes, for social norms, but she never gave her husband conjugal bliss." "That is why she writes, "You are my eternity, Girdhar Gopal." ""There is no one else, Not even my husband."" "Didn't Meera's household have objections?" "The question didn't arise." "Meera's love was true." "Truth beckons the Lord and all worldly ties are broken." "Man emerges stronger..." "My love is pure." "I've always loved you and each of your photographs." "That's why I see all your movies." "Meera breaks worldly ties and searches Gopal." "I bunk school and run to see your movies..." "My love for you is true like Meera's." "I know you're married, but I do not grudge your wife." "She's like my sister." "And your children..." "What are you muttering all alone?" "Nothing Bhabhi." "We've got a dissertation on Meera." "Write your essay later." "Wear this sari now." "But, it's made of silk..." " Yes, so?" "I've sworn not to wear silk." " Why?" "It's a vow, a sacrifice Bhabhi." "I am content." "You're to write an essay on Meera, or become a hermit?" "Go on, wear the sari." "You wouldn't understand Bhabhi..." "Truth is the lords strength and so all ties are broken..." "Bhaiyya..." "How was it... you seem quite happy... how was the paper?" "First class!" "Now we can go to Bombay!" "Not with me, with Bhabhi." " You're not going?" "Why?" "Something's cropped up suddenly." "I'll join you later." "Get in." "Exams over?" " Yes." "When are you going to Bombay?" "Tomorrow." " You'll have a lot of fun..." "What fun?" "What's there to do and see anyway?" "Only the sea..." "Why?" "There's Rajender, Jeetender, Dharmender." "As if they're all lined up to welcome me!" "Kusum...?" "!" "Tara?" "What's up?" "Something's wrong!" "Bhabhi..." "Bhabhi...?" "!" "Tara, what's wrong!" "?" "What is it?" "What's the matter, Tara?" "Why are you crying?" "I haven't the slightest." "As she entered, she started sobbing!" "What's wrong, dear?" "Kundan has run away from home, Bhabhi." "What?" " Yes, with mother's valuables." "From tomorrow, Mother..." "Oh my!" "Did you all fight?" "No, he's left for Bombay." "He's said he'd become a hero there." "Mother says since you're going to Bombay..."

"Is at your call" "Nothing but love" "Love..." "love..." "Iove..." "love"" ""I could give my life for you Rita"" ""I can't live without you either Rajan"." ""You have dared to do this?"" " But father..."" ""Shut up - nasty girl!" "I'll suck you blood!"" ""I'll kill you" " I'll shoot."" "Mamaji, Mamaji!" " Statue!" "Didi, you haven't even stepped in and you're caught!" "How can you do this, no wishes, no greetings, no blessings...!" "Over - it's over - bless you child!" "Mamaji, statue!" "How can you do this..." "no greetings, nothing?" "No blessings at your feet?" "Poor Mamaji!" "You can move only on one condition." "Do not move your limbs, flutter your eyes..." "Will you get us ice cream?" "Will you take us to the movies?" "Anything else, Bhabhi, quick, tell me... would you like a Maami?" "Oooh!" "Over!" "No problem Guddi, I'll catch you unawares when you get married." "I'm not getting married!" "Really?" "Sure?" "Then let's shake on that!" "What are you happy about?" "One more member to join the bachelor union!" "What's this?" " Pudding." "No, no." "I've had enough." " Take a little..." "No, that's enough" "Oh Mamaji, do take some." "Why do you feel shy?" "You're at home..." "It's hard to believe little Guddi has grown up until she opens her mouth!" "That's correct." "I'm worried." "She's a young lady who should be married." "Bhabhi!" "?" "What's the hurry?" "We'll finish pudding and then..." "Have you seen a suitable boy?" " Yes." "I've even spoken about him to father" "We need to know how you feel." "Me?" " Yes...!" "?" "Oh!" "I see!" ".." "Hey where are you going?" "My, my!" "Women of today do feel shy!" "What do you think, Mamaji?" "What do I think?" "Ask him!" "So, Don Juan how do you feel?" "Why ask me?" "Why feel shy?" "The same thing happened to me." "When I did not respond, my family thought I was disinterested." "The result?" "I'm still a bachelor!" "Answer convincingly..."Yes"!" "Or, "Absolutely yes"!" "I don't know." "I have no problem Uma, just one condition..." "Which is...?" "There will be a dowry!" "What?" "!" "After pudding, I need paan!" "Kusum, why are you crying?" "This marriage is not happening." "Navin, I cannot marry you." "Don't misunderstand." "I do not want to betray you." "I love another." "I'm glad you trust me." "Tell me who it is?" "I could help." "I cannot marry him either, Navin." "Why?" "He's married." "What?" "What are you saying!" "He's got children." "How would you know!" "Maybe he's pulling a fast one on you." "No, Navin." "He is not." "He cares." "He's like God." "Like Meerabai's Krishna!" "Kusum, you're naive." "Tell me who it is." "No, Navin." "Do not put me in a spot." "Oh stop that acting!" "Tell me or I'll blow it!" "No...!" " So then tell me!" "?" "Dharmendra." " Dharmendra... who?" "Dharmendra" " Sharmila of the movies- a filmstar...?" "Dharmendra!" "?" "A film star!" "Where's the problem?" "!" "You'll find this fixation in any home." "Even I remember the film stars Rajendra Kumar, Asha Parekh..." "Shashi Kapoor, Rajesh Khanna." "Guddi's very naive." "Couples look for Dilip Kumar and Saira Banu replicas in each other." "Yes, but I haven't harbored thoughts like that...?" "Look Navin, Guddi has no concept." "She's walks on a cloud." "She thinks its all true." "It's not." "It's infatuation." "It won't last long." "But now I don't want the marriage." "Tell me something." "Do you desire Kusum?" "Apart from being your uncle (mama) I'm your friend." "But Mamaji..." " No buts." "Do you like the girl?" "You haven't answered." "Don't you think it's your duty... to help unknot her?" "Help the poor girl." "Forget what you heard." "Don't tell your sister anything." "Act as if nothing happened between the two of you." "She shouldn't realize that I know how she feels." "Don't worry." "Leave everything else to me." "Go on... go!" "Deshpande speaking." "Deshpande, this is Gupta here." "How are you?" "Have I disturbed you?" "No." "No not at all." "So tell me how come you thought of me after so long?" "I need a favor." "Aren't they making a film based on your novel?" "Yes." "As long as there was no film, it was my novel." "They've messed it all." "It's unbelievable!" "The hero-heroine romance one another in the most ridiculous manner... running, chasing and dancing even if they walk with two left feet." "Oh God... my poor story!" "The hero chases the villain - in a car on a bike - on a horse?" "And as he walks... they fight!" "It's terrible, the fight." "I wish I could die." "It's so violent." "Oh lord!" "You poor chap!" "Anyway I have nothing to do with your story." "It's your hero, I want." "Who?" " Dharmendra." "Aha, salt and pepper hair and you fancy autographs now?" "No." "It's work." "My thesis." "Will you make an appointment?" "Absolutely." "I'll fix something." "Give me a call once you've got me a day." "One rupee - just a rupee." "I'm blind, one rupee and the lord will always feed you." "Mister, one moment..." "You mean, you can see?" "Yes." "I can see, walk earn..." "I'm not a beggar." "I do the make up." "Make up?" "That's right." "I was memorizing my lines for a film." "I'm very sorry..." "Doesn't matter, that doesn't matter" "You seem new around here." "Yes." "It's my first time." "Is Dharmenderji here in this studio?" "Dharmendra... that's his make up room." "Thank you." "You're welcome." "Just a rupee..." "I'm blind just a rupee and the lord will feed you." "Yes?" " I'd like to meet Mr. Dharmender." "Regarding?" " Work." "Only with him." "Your name?" " Prof. Gupta." "Oh do come in Professor, what can I do for you?" "I'd like to speak with you privately." " Alone?" "For 5 minutes." "Pant Dada, I'll send for you in 5 minutes." "Do come this way, sir..." "Do tell me..." "It's like this;" "I've got this slight calamity where only you can help." "The problem is, I have a niece." "Yes, and..." "The problem?" "She loves you!" "What?" "Don't be alarmed, she's never really met with you." "And you say she loves me?" "How do you expect me to believe that, Sir?" "!" "One, just one minute..." "listen to what I have to say" "It's not only my niece, but a thousand other girls... like her who haven't met you but are crazy about you." "like her who haven't met you but are crazy about you." "Is that so?" "I've been hearing a lot more about Rajesh Khanna!" "You're very modest." "But the real picture is... every young girl has got special feelings towards a certain special... person and you, heroes of the film world, very easily take that place... because of your qualities which are so many, that any one person cannot possess them all..." "You fight twenty men single-handed, kill wild beasts with bare hands." "Jump from planes straight into the water - and nothing happens to you!" "Not only that, after all this, you surface and start singing!" "?" "You are a poet an engineer, a pick-pocket, rank first in academics and sports" "The more the films, the more varied these qualities!" "You're their real hero!" "But how can I help?" "By only meeting her once." "No, Professor." "Sir, as it is, the film line has a bad reputation." "As if that's not enough, there's your crazy niece..." "She is my niece, after all." "Allow her to come." "Let her look around." "The effort you put in, the problems you face will wash away film glamour" "Your real self, which incidentally is more impressive, will emerge..." "But Professor, why are you dragging me into this?" "There is a boy who likes her deeply." "It's a question of both their lives together." "You've always acted in films." "Acting a little in real life shouldn't be all that difficult." "Professor Sir, in the industry, people who conceive an idea... are different from those who write it." "I'll be conceiving writing and acting, all together!" "Deshpande told me a lot about you, and that's why I had the courage to put forward this proposal." "Just one thing, Dharamji." "The girl should not know that this has been contrived." "It should feel natural." "Dharamji, the shot is ready." "Would you listen to the scene?" "Right, I've taken enough of your time." "I'm grateful to you." "Dharamji, I have a brilliant story for the next picture" "What will you write, Birenda?" "I will write a brilliant idea!" "Mamaji, are you going somewhere?" " Yes dear, with you." "With me?" "Where to?" "You wanted to go shopping, remember!" "Oh Mamaji, you are omniscient!" "That's exactly why I..." "So get dressed!" "Statue!" "No Mamaji, not now...!" "Wait a minute...!" "Come here!" "I owe you another three smacks." "That's right." "Six smacks in all...!" " Ramdayal, hey Ramdayal...?" "Yes Mamaji..." " Why aren't you dressed?" "Where do you want to go?" " Shopping." "What will I shop." " Nothing." "You could carry bags!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" " I'm expensive help!" "I'll need two new shirts!" "You'll get them, move it!" "Where are we?" " A moment, I've got work." "Here in the studio?" " Yes." "Wait." "I'll be right back." "You're here with Mr. Gupta?" " Yes." "You've been called on the sets." "Follow me, please." "Dharmenderji, some tea?" " No tea, no thanks!" "The scene's a little difficult." "I've got sweaty palms..." "You're a very good actor." "It's such a tiny scene." "Don't worry!" "Look Professor, films are fiction..." " They've come!" "Oh Kusumji, there you are." "I didn't think we'd ever meet again." "Do you remember how we'd met at the... hotel?" "You mean you recognize me?" "You are difficult to forget." "Is that right?" "Why?" "What is so special?" "So maybe I'll tell you." "If you stood in front of the mirror and smiled, you'd realize how beautiful your eyes are!" "Hey Guddi... why are you standing there?" "Come on in..." "Dharmendarji, this is my nephew Navin... and this is Kusum, my niece's husband's sister..." "I mean..." "Never mind, it's too long..." "She's my very own Guddi." "Why don't you sit down?" "!" "Does Kusum go to school?" "She does go to school." "Whether she studies is a separate issue!" "The shot is ready." "I'll finish it and get back." "Vimiji let's do one rehearsal." " OK..." "Vimiji, your dialogue starts as the song gets over." "OK." "There's no solar in the full light." "Did you like the song?" " Yes, very much." "When you sang, it was as if flowers reigned from heaven." "I always want you to sing like this." "I'll always listen," "I'll sit with you and listen..." " Cut!" "No, no, just 5 minutes, 5 minutes." "Dharamji, you can rest." "Do relax..." " You sing beautifully!" "Who me!" "?" "Not really!" "I sing flat!" "It's someone else's voice!" "That's not true!" "If you play an instrument, you couldn't sing flat!" "You're talking about the piano?" "It's completely out of tune or even mute!" "So that's it!" "I wondered where all the percussion came from..." "I thought perhaps, the domestic at home adds him own rhythm... maybe...?" "Dharamji, Kusum's here for a couple of days." "She'd like to see some shoots..." "But of course, why not?" "I'll give you a call, and you could send her across!" "Mother, Mother!" "Oh there you are!" "Bless me so that I win!" "What are you fighting?" "Badminton?" "Well, I'll be competing for a championship - a silver cup...!" "May you always succeed, my son!" "You will win!" "Why didn't you think about my happiness?" "Why not?" "I had one wish." "It's gone!" "When Rajesh looks at Asha I feel as if I've been slapped!" "I want to drink his blood!" "My blood boils!" "I'm consumed!" "When he laughs with her, speaks with her I burn!" "I cannot see them together, Chachaji, I will destroy all!" "I get the feeling that this marriage is not taking place... for me or my happiness but, just so that you feel fulfilled." "That's fine." "You've always been stubborn." "Your every wish is mine." "You are my parents, and you've committed yourselves." "You've got standing in society!" "I wouldn't want to see you lose that!" "Ajay...!" "?" "Shyam, what's all this on the road?" "Saran, how are you doing?" "I'm doing fine." "First tell me, who is she." "Her name - name!" "She stays in my building." "We study together." "You're having a ball!" "Can I enroll in your college?" "So get in." "Someone has to get out!" "Now there's something!" "My sister, has she or hasn't she come here?" "Who?" "No." "She hasn't come here." "Take two!" "Neeta, I know exactly what you'd like to ask." "But I've gone a long way down the path of love." "Stop - stop - stop!" " What's up?" "You're up front." "I've chalked it for you." "Sorry sorry... it's the dialogue" "And the angle of your face..." "a little there, here..." "Thank you." "Start!" " Come in?" "Yes." "Neeta, I know exactly what you'd like to ask." "But I've gone a long way down the path of love, and returning from there is not easy..." ". and I don't think I want to know." "Neeta, love is like the moon." "It waxes and wanes and I've forgotten!" "Listen child it's a sin to commit suicide, you have to live life, not throw it away" "I turn around only after "not throw it away",?" "I want to commit suicide." "No, child, it's a sin to commit suicide." "You have to learn to live life, not throw it away." "He's given you life, so it's His prerogative to take it away from you." "Look at me, love." "I am sixty years old." "I love life and I want to live forty years more." "OK." "Some tea for me!" "Relax!" "How was the shot?" " Beautiful." "May I ask you something?" "Yes... go on..." "I've been looking at these shoots for quite some days now..." "Most of them are engineered by the director." "The writer pens down lines for dialogue..." "The cameraman adds glamour while he shoots the scene..." "I mean, then why is it that only you, film stars get the accolades?" "Why not all the others?" "It's like this, Navin." "When you look at a beautiful painting or... an incredible statue, you value that finished product more as a... work of art than the genius of the artist himself." "Similarly, it is all those film - technicians, be they directors... cameramen, editors etc." "Who are the life support of the industry - but, because it is the actor who stand in front he gets those coveted accolades!" "Light!" "?" "Hmmm." " Here you are" "No Sir..." " Go on, take it, keep it!" "Welcome Praan Sahib!" "I'll be called for a shoot!" " When did you get back from Madras?" "Yesterday." "It was scorching hot!" "Look at me, burnt berry brown!" "Meet Professor Gupta, Kusum, Naveen." "Are you in the film line?" " No." "Would you like to be?" " No." "But, why not?" "You've got personality, a handsome face, curly hair, great build... just like Dharmendra, like a He-Man!" "I could talk to producers." "No." "I am not interested." "I am content with what I am and..." "Absurd!" "That's the first man who hasn't fallen for film glamour!" "Hey Praan Sahib, that's a smart watch!" "Aah, yes!" "Only yesterday, this man forcibly presented it to me." "I don't much care for it..." "look at the dial!" "Do you like it?" "It's a beautiful watch!" "I don't think so, so you keep it... here!" "I've told you, its yours..." "Stop!" "One whack otherwise..." "Maybe he's given it to you with an intent!" "An intent?" "!" "Yes!" "He never does anything without a motive!" "Because, most of the time he's a villain in the movies?" "In real life, he's a different person." "Funny, but he's always doing good!" "This is the film line, Professor Gentlemen are portrayed as villains." "And those like myself, are heroes!" "Shot's ready, where's the hero?" "Let's go!" "Hey Guddi, you really took him for a villain?" "He's awful only in a film!" "Don't you understand, they do as the writer and director want?" "The real heroes are all behind the camera!" "Stop!" "Why are you wasting your life, young man?" "Tell me, where the map is and I'll cover you with riches!" "I should be a traitor for these diamonds?" "I trade my pride and my country?" "You fool, so what about your country!" "?" "This is my country, where I live and die... this country called Hindustan!" "Right... since you so keenly wish to end it all I could help..." "What dialogues!" "When this film is released and Dharmenderji says "...this is my country - the country called Hindustan!"" "Just watch the response of the crowd!" "The poor writer!" "No credit for him." "The crowd applauds the artist!" "That was a great shot!" " Thank you." "Praanji, you are beaten black and blue in every film!" "Dear chap, it's fun when it happens with Dharmendra!" "But with some of the others, I only have to blow and they'd fly off!" "You must know of the idiom -"Even a lion dies at the hands of a vulture"!" "Praanji, your telephone..." "When I'm working?" "Who could this be?" "." "Excuse me..." "Mamaji... there's someone in Praanji's clothes!" "Who is he?" "It's his duplicate" "." "Meaning?" "This is risky." "Scenes having a fire... jumping from heights... violence - fights, duplicates handle all of them." "Start sound!" "Don't worry!" "They'll cut this portion." "No one will know." "Thirteen/Two" "Game Point!" "Game up!" "Gosh, you really give a good fight, Naveen!" "Where did you practice?" "Good stuff!" "You got me sweating!" "If you insisted on losing, why did you play?" "Monty, you've got no brains, you wouldn't understand." "Naveen, both of you pile on later." "Come home with Bhagwan." "You bring them home later." "Why did you let him win?" "Where was the need?" "Don't worry, I'll be there." "I know it's a 7 o'clock shift." "No, I wasn't partying last night!" "Yes, yes, they've arrived..." "Thank you very much." "Come on in, Naveen, that was your Mamaji." "Really?" "Yes, he said he wanted same paan (beetle leaf) from the shop outside." "Paan?" "But Mamaji does not eat paan!" "?" "I know, I know, but just the other day..." "I'd given him sweet Banarasi paan to taste and he loved it!" "He's asked you to go across and get two paans for him on the way back..." "Right, so then we'll take your leave?" "Why?" "Why don't you eat and go?" "No, we've really eaten too much, Didi must be waiting..." "O.K. Drop in whenever you like..." "I could do with some badminton!" "Goodnight..." "May I come with you?" " It's not necessary." "What happened..." "What's happened?" " Thugs!" "Thugs?" "In this neighborhood?" " You get thugs anywhere!" "What's this?" "Blood!" "?" "That's alright." "You don't have to tear your sari... like a heroine and make a bandage!" "I don't use duplicates when I fight!" "Now get in!" "My God!" "Professor Sahib, your nephew is something else!" "What did he have in his hands?" " Nothing!" "What did you expect?" "One punch and he's rattled my dentures!" "Professor Sahib, mine are lose too!" "If we'd taken him into confidence this might not have happened!" "No Professor Sahib, he's got a lot of self respect!" "He'd have never agreed." "Come on, I'll drop you off!" "Some coffee?" " It's not required!" "Mamaji, what's happened?" " Nothing, Navin." "I tried to do someone a good turn and..." "So?" " I overdid it a bit." "You were attacked suddenly?" "Yes, Mamaji!" "They shut my mouth, dug a gun into me and wanted... whatever I possessed!" "Despite that, I screamed." "Navin ran back and fought them off!" "Biff!" "Biff!" "What's wrong?" "!" "I'm hurting, nothing more!" "And then?" "Then?" "The shorter of the hoodlums fell under his blow." "The taller one gathered his skirts and took off!" "If only you were there, Mamaji you'd have loved it!" "I'm having a great time listening to all of it!" "Navin's really brave, Mamaji!" "Don't talk about him!" "Go get me some hot tea!" "OK." "Hello?" " Dharmenderji, what's happening?" "Oh Professor Sahib, nothing really." "I've got one cheek left." "Poor chap." "My dentures are loose and I haven't heard the end of Navin's bravery!" "Which means my experiment worked!" "That's why I've called, to tell you about her progress." "Professor Sahib, I've done a lot of memorizing of dialogues and... knowing how the story would evolve." "But this is different." "This is the first time where I don't know the outcome!" "?" "!" "I've trapped you in a terrible scene!" "I'm indebted to you!" "I remark a change in her!" "Kusum is changing." "I need your support a little longer." "It will all work out." "Don't worry, Professor Sahib, I'll be with you throughout." "Good night, Sir." "Get the light carriage here." " Here, and call them in!" "Get them!" " Right, let's go." "Kundan Bhaiyya." " Who?" "Remember Kundan Bhaiyya?" "Tara's brother?" "Look, there!" "Kundanji..." "Are you Kundan?" ".." "Tara studies with Kusum, that's how I know of you." "How is Tara, and Mother?" "Is something wrong?" "How should they be?" "Someone's strapping brother..." "Someone's young son vanishes overnight?" "What got into you?" "Who brainwashed you?" "No one - you've got it wrong." "I did it myself." "The glamour of the film world enticed me." "I thought it would work out." "I took a chance." "A big risk." "Only when I got here did I realize how hard I'd have to work." "Having no background, no know-how, nothing..." "Then return home..." "I can't." "You see, - I pilched money from them." "With what face do I return?" "Kundunji, Mother's don't look at faces." "They look at minds." "They are pure." "Do you feel ashamed when you pray, despite all said and done?" "No." "Here's some money." "It will get you home... off you go..." "No." "I won't accept the money." "I'll earn something and get back on my own." "When you do earn, you can repay me." "Kundan, I am no stranger." "Go on, you've found yourself a brother!" "When you get back, Tara and Mother will be overwhelmed." "I want a part of that feeling as a brother... your brother..." "Go on, take it." "Keep it... use it." "What is it, Mamaji?" "You've got a lunch invite at Dharmenderji's, remember?" "You and Kusum go along." "I've got some work." "I don't think I want to go." "So then cancel it." "I don't want to go either." "But I telephoned and said the two of you would be coming!" "What will I do there?" "I do get a bit awkward, Mamaji." "You're not doing this for yourself." "You're doing it for Kusum." "Go on, get dressed both of you." "Dharmenderji, may I take your photograph today?" "Today?" "It's a little difficult." "Would you try, please?" "Could you wait some time?" "Zamindar Sahib, I only want a rupee!" "The moneylender wont part with it, he is such a miser!" "Hey Pandit Maganlal, the moneylender couldn't be worse than me!" "35 years ago, when I had bought ghee worth one rupee from the Punjab," "I packed it tight." "My Roti's are cooked in the same ghee today!" "That ghee is not over." "I still use it!" "I cook my rotis right near the ghee box!" "The ghee stares at those rotis and vice-versa." "That's when the rotis change into Parathas and I devour them!" "What happened?" "He's been feverish for a few days..." "He must have collapsed." "So lift him and put him in my car." "Take him to the hospital right away!" "Kusum, come on with us." "Hey, Lalit, get your here!" " Right." "You're in charge?" " Yes." "When you knew he was unwell, why did you let him work?" "I forbid him." "But then if he doesn't work he has no money to take home, you see!" "?" "Here!" "Rs. 100/-." "Send him home." "Only get him to work when he's fine." "You could ask me for more money." "Siraj Bhai, its incredible - the plastic glamour of the film line." "But what goes on behind the scenes is altogether a different story!" "Dharmenderji, you've got time now." "May I take some photos?" "You should be ashamed!" "That poor electrician is dying... and you want to take my photos?" "!" "Why don't you take his snaps?" "Write about him?" "!" " I'm sorry Dharmenderji." "Take a seat, Naveen." "Do you like this place?" "This film studio?" "Yes, the entire film world?" "It's a strange world." "There is always that fear of wandering and... getting lost..." "In all this glamour and glitter, anyone could get lost." "But I notice that all this seems to have no effect on you!" "Naveen, despite being a part of this world, I do feel strange." "Maybe because at heart I am still a village boy..." "And a village boy never really breaks off ties... with the land he so cherishes." "When I had my land, I was so proud and safe..." "I knew that it was not only enough to feed me but all of my family." "But here, I feel alone, very alone, away from my roots." "I know that as long as I am in the limelight in all this glamour... people will want me, applaud me." "One day, when there is no light, darkness will engulf me." "In this darkness, no one will reach for me." "Do you remember that scene where a man was pressing MJ's feet?" "Do you know who he is?" "One of the greats... of the silent movie era, Master Siraj; he's nowhere today." "Come, let me show you something." "There's that studio?" "All burnt out?" "I'd started my career here, with Bimalda..." "Bimal Roy was making "Bandhani"." "He's gone now, and so is the studio." "Two biggahs of land, "Bandhani" "Madhumati"..." "All in these four walls, pearls and diamonds." "What great talent has been here, who remembers these names today?" "They'll soon be buried in time." "This place which should remain a temple of talent... will one day be converted to a soap factory." "Each of us over here has a specific time." "The way I do." "Look at that light." "It must have lit so many star profiles... and even glamorized them." "Today, it's burnt and broken... lens lies in the rubble, in these ashes, staring nowhere." "Gosh, I'd forgotten, let's go eat lunch." "No, not today..." "But we'll do it some other time." "I understand, after all that's happened today." "That's alright..." "We'll take your leave" " OK, all the best!" "Thank you!" "Dharmenderji, I am sorry, I troubled you." "But I'd like to say something." " Yes?" "I have a wife and two little kids, and I have a college degree." "When in college, photography was my hobby." "Today, that degree is useless." "But my photography gets me two square meals a day." "You got upset because I didn't photograph that support staff." "You tell me, who would have bought his picture?" "You do know the press " "It does not serve the public or the truth." "Everything is weighed against money." "That is why naked glamour is photographed by everyone." "I contribute to it in my own way." "I know this is a type of prostitution." "But then isn't it done all the time?" "Especially, if there are two square meals involved?" "People buy photographs of heroes and heroines... they have them framed, then mount them on walls." "Who has ever framed the heroes of our country?" "Have you ever thought of that?" "I am sorry." "That accident has blown my mind." "I've said a lot to you, for no real fault of yours." "It's our system, you see, but I will give you an interview." "And this time, it will be a story that's never been printed before." "So come with me now..." "Mamaji, don't you ever tire of reading?" "Yes, I do" " Then what do you do?" "I panic." "Then I read again!" " Oh no!" "Why, what's the matter?" " Mamaji, lets go out for a drive?" "Yes." "We'll go see a shoot too!" " No, not a shoot, anywhere else!" "OK, call that Satyanarayan!" " Him?" "He's ill." "Ill?" " Hmmm!" "What's wrong with him?" " Since he's been staying with you... he's not only been reading but writing too!" "He sits so seriously as if he's doing school homework!" "Go on, coax him!" "If he doesn't listen, bully him!" "Bully him!" " Yeah!" "Gosh!" "Fatso's four times my size." "Look, where strength doesn't work, the mind should be put to use!" "Stop it... you've been writing for 3 days just as if... you are the Great Kalidas!" " Kusum, stop disturbing me!" "Stop disturbing me!" "Come on, let's go out some place!" "Take Mamaji" " I refuse to see a shoot." "Oh no, no shooting - perhaps some place else?" "Oh?" " Yes." "I'm bored now." "You're bored of shoots?" " Yes." "It's all make believe." "It's a big con game" "You're even bored with Dharmender's shoot?" "What's the big deal with Dharmender's shoot?" "Why are you looking at me like that?" " I'm not looking," "I just don't believe my ears!" " Why?" "The devil takes the Lord's name!" "?" "Oh come on, stop this." "Please, let's go..." "You've got glares on." "You can't really see, but I am working..." "Which means, you're not coming?" "That's right, not until I've finished." "Kusum, don't be a child!" "It's not funny!" "Give back my book." "Don't be absurd..." "Kusum!" "Mamaji!" " What happened?" "Kusum!" "Give back my book!" "Look, it's not funny anymore Kusum!" "Kusum!" "There's a limit to being silly!" ""The glamour of the film world is quite strange..." "Like pieces of glass, but when light falls on them... they shimmer like jewels." "Without light, they are naked pieces of glass once again, not emeralds." "The hero who take the role of a patriot holds his head high." "But if he had to portray someone poor, the glamour would wash away." "When the scene finishes, and the role is over... doesn't he feel empty once again?" "When he looks at those menials work... doesn't he feel an overwhelming sense of hopelessness... when he realizes that they don't even get two square meals a day?" "He's not a patriot." "Just self sufficient." "Till today, films are shown in air-conditioned cinema houses." "But when I visited those film studios, I have seen so much pain..." "I don't think I want to sit in comfort in any theatre for a long time." "What a difference." "From that same film... someone earns millions, while another hardly gets enough to eat!" "This glaring difference is the worst disease... that consumes the film industry." "But why only the film industry?" "Isn't the difference a disease of our entire nation?"" "Here's your book." " Leave it on the table." "I asked you to leave it on the table." " I've read it." "You write beautifully." " I haven't asked for your opinion." "Are you going to publish this in a magazine?" "This is not Dharmender's biography!" "Why do you nag me all the time?" "What wrong have I done?" "Is this what happens when someone makes a mistake!" "?" "Guddi, where's your Bhabhi?" " In the Kitchen, why?" "There are these photos I'd like her to see." "Why don't you look at them..." "Which one do you like?" " Who are they?" "Navin's wives - perhaps..." "I mean he could like some of them... or any of them!" "Do you like someone?" "Why ask me?" "Ask him who's getting married." "Let's check whom you'd choose?" "None." "None?" "How about this one?" "Parrot nosed?" "!" "And that one?" " She looks like a filmstar!" "Look at her coiffure?" "Someone's dropping by this evening." "They say she's an absolute smasher!" "I guess..." "What's the matter with you?" "You've got one long face..." "I'd like to go home, Mamaji..." "Back to my father." "Good grief... so suddenly?" "What's the hurry?" "Nothing." "I'd like to go." "Would you stop being stubborn?" "My brother celebrates my birthday each year..." "I'd like to go back." "Your birthday...?" "When is it?" "The following Friday." " Then you stay right here." "You go nowhere." "We'll invite friends and family and we'll paint the town!" "When I was little, I'd ask my mother each time on my birthday," "Come in Bharat, Guddi..." "Many happy returns on your birthday." "Thank you." "These are lovely flowers." "Beautiful flowers for a beautiful girl" "Bharat, no designs on Guddi, huh?" "He's a staunch member of our bachelor club..." "Chaturvedi Sahib..." "My daughter Kusum..." "Stay happy child." "Do sit down..." "Bhaiyya... you here?" "But of course!" "It's your birthday!" "Guddi, go on, I... go!" "Why?" " Go!" "Go, she's in the kitchen making mincemeat out of me..." "I mean mincing meat." "I mean go on, go see her..." "Mamaji... you've not changed!" "Why didn't you get father?" " You know dad, he won't move!" "Guddi, where are you going?" "Look after the guests." "You go wash up." "God party, huh Guddi." "Yes, but..." "But?" "Oh right you are, Dharmendra hasn't shown up..." "So?" "Big deal!" " No, I mean..." "Where's fatso... he's not here?" "Fatso...?" "Oh yes, Harihar." "Maybe he's got some urgent work." "He's been getting a lot of phone calls." "There must be something." "There's always something!" "What about the house and family?" "He's done this deliberately!" "Why would he do this deliberately?" "One day, I mean, I'd said to him on the terrace..." "What did you say?" "Nothing." "Did you swear at him?" " No!" "So big deal if he doesn't turn up." "There are a lot many others?" "!" "He can take them all!" "Really now?" "!" "Don't you remember the way he biffed those thugs?" "You brought that up again?" "!" "Hey Navin, there you are..." "And how come you're with me?" "I feel good, that's why!" "I've got good news." "I'd like to share it with you." "Go on, quick tell me!" "Remember, I had an interview going?" "Yes." "You had mentioned it..." "I landed the job!" "Super!" "Great!" "Congratulations!" "I must have been lucky!" " Lucky!" "?" "What rot!" "You're capable!" "That's what!" "I am elated, even perhaps more than Mamaji." "I'm sure." "That's exactly why I've come here!" "It's great news." "Everyone's going to be happy." "Have you told Kusum yet?" " No." "It's her birthday today!" "There's a party!" "Are you going?" "No, I've got people coming over." "Do ask her to excuse me..." "Oh...!" "I'm late, and you're not going..." "No problem, I'll telephone her myself." "Have you bought her a present?" "No." "Nothing." "I've bought nothing." "Why?" "Couldn't think of anything." "Navin, may I ask you something?" "It's personal." "Your attitude shows that you're really hurt and annoyed." "No... er... not really!" "Navin, I do know what's going on between Kusum and you." "When your Mamaji approached me, I wondered what I had got myself into." "But I'm grateful to him." "I haven't hurt an innocent girl... and I got myself a great buddy like you." "Cigarette?" " No thanks." "I'm really proud of you but if I am the cause of your unhappiness... forgive me and forgive this innocent girl." "Why do you talk like this?" "If I was petty, I wouldn't be here!" "Great attitude!" "If you'd do the same with Kusum, I'll know... that you're a true friend." "So when are you leaving?" "Sometime today." " Today?" "That's why I thought I'd drop by." "All the best, then..." "Modern Florists?" "This is Dharmendra." "I've ordered some flowers." "Just one favor, it's the name." "They're not from me, but "With love from Navin"." "Thank you very much... thank you." "Look, he still hasn't come back..." " And where should I look?" "You find this funny?" " What's to worry, child?" "That's odd, a family member hasn't arrived and you're OK?" "Whom are you waiting for?" " For Harihar." "Harihar?" "Which Harihar?" " Our very own Ramdayal..." "Ramdayal?" " Oh, Guddi's fatso, Navinchand!" "Aah... that's right!" "And where is he!" "?" "Professor Gupta?" " Yes?" "I'm here from Modern Florists." "These are from Navin." "Aren't they beautiful flowers, Mamaji?" "These are the best!" "You haven't sung yet..." "It's not polite." "I'll sing and cut the cake only when Navin arrives." "He will be coming." "They say that when Nawab Bajid Ali was to arrive... his entry would be announced by his hookah." "Similarly, Navin's arrival is announced by these flowers!" "You wait, he'll be dragging himself here while you sing." "And so ladies and gentlemen," "In customary fashion, a birthday party in the film line... is never complete without a song." "Our Kusum, little Guddi will give you a song" "A good hand, all of you!" "Just a minute, the birthday girl has to refuse to sing twice... you see" "Mamaji, I'm not singing..." "As many times as she refuses, we all clap!" "So dear, it would be best if you would sing quickly!" "Yes, and Guddi, sing one of those oldies, otherwise we'll..." "Oh!" "And the hero comes home!" "Wonderful!" "The song beckons and... he is home!" "What an entry!" "Navin, thank you very much..." "your flowers are lovely!" "My flowers?" " Yes." "But I haven't sent you flowers!" "Oh Jijaji - there you are!" "Surprised, huh?" "!" "So what's new with you, Engineer Sahib!" "I've got great news!" "You landed the job?" " Yes." "You got it?" " Yes, I did." "I tried telephoning, you weren't there." "There was a problem with the postal department." "The company letter states that I join them tomorrow." "Tomorrow?" "How will you join up tomorrow?" "I'll leave by tonight's flight." "My tickets are ready." "Today?" "!" "You're leaving now?" "Yes, I have to." "Kusum." "Wish you all the best in life." "Girdhar Gopal, there's not much time left." "Meet your sister." "Tell her the good news and start packing!" "Where is Didi?" " In the kitchen." "No, on the terrace." "On the terrace?" "What's she doing up there?" "She's got a headache." "So where's Didi?" "She's below." "Why did you bring me here?" "I did it deliberately." " Why?" "I want to tell you something." "Do you have to go today?" "Yes." "You couldn't wait for a day?" "What difference would it make?" "If it did, would you wait?" "How would you gain if I lost my job?" "If I gained, would you wait for me?" "No." "It's not required." "We're distant now, we've grown apart." "I'm glad I got the job at the right time." "I've been uneasy." "Very uncomfortable for a few days." "I'll be far away." "I'll stop thinking of you." "I'll forget everything." "Go." "Get out." "Leave me." "Forget it all." "Kusum, don't cry." "Stop crying." "Don't..." "What difference does it make?" "You've made up your mind about leaving." "Go!" "How do I go if you sob like this?" "Believe me." "I don't want to get you unhappy today." "Lies!" "All lies!" "You've deliberately made me unhappy!" "Always!" "You realize how much I trust you how much I rely on you." "That's why!" "No, Kusum, no." "That's not true." "On this same terrace... one day, not long ago, you had said that..." "So?" "Is that it?" "Is that all?" "That's all you're clinging to?" "Look Kusum, I can't fathom you out." "I do not know where I stand with you." "Perhaps you look at me as a playmate, a friend, someone... to backslap." "But it's different for me." "You mean a lot more." "It's almost unbearable, because I have grown to love you." "That's why I'm going far away." "It's best for all of us..." "If you don't affirm what I ask, I'll never say over... and you'll be standing there rooted for good." "Tell me whether you will take me with you?" "Flutter your eyes?" "!" "Kusum... oh Kusum" "Long live Dharmendra!"
