"But we have to find a suitable boy first" "Don't you know the teacher's son?" "I've seen the way he looks at her" "His mother even brought it up" "They are a very decent family." " No doubt about that" "So let's get them married quickly..." "it's too good an opportunity to let go" "I think you're right." "I must go and meet them at the earliest" "You have to make the sequence without any jokers, ok?" "Chutki, I was just talking to Khilona about you..."

"No!" "He can't do that!" "It'll spoil everything" "I just don't know what to do" "I should just run away to Bombay." " No, don't ever say such a thing" "So what should I do then?" "I'm so confused" "You won't hit me..." "if I suggest something, will you?" "Why don't you and me..." "Get married?" "What... ?" " Don't get me wrong." "I got an idea" "See... yourparentswant you married off, right?" "And you want to go to Bombay, right?" "So, if we get married" "Have you lost it?" "What are you saying?" " Just hear me out once..." "But what are you saying?" " You can turn it down..." "if you don't like the idea, okay?" "It's the duty of parents to marry their daughters off into decent families" "Nothing wrong in it" "If you and I get married, for the villagers, we'd be husband and wife" "After that, whether we go to Bombay or anywhere in the world..." "no one can have any problem." "You know what I'm saying?" "Once we are able to get out of the village, with our parents' consent..." "you can do anything you want!" "You can fulfill all your dreams" "I want your dreams to be fulfilled too" "But will your father agree?" "I'll ask my mother to convince my father" "So what do you think of my idea?" "I must go to Bombay, at any cost!" "Wow!" "This is nice." "Very nice" "Look at him." "he's blushing..." "You don't have to be embarrassed" "You worthless chap!" "Moron !" "How could you even think of marriage?" "And that too, with a girl who dances around in the whole village?" "Listen... evenIlikeChutkialot." " You don't interfere!" "I know, the two of you have planned this together" "Don't you dare say another word !" "No!" "I'm not going to keep quiet today." "I will have my say" "A man becomes responsible once married." "Even the worst, turn a new leaf" "Only the ones with some hope improve..." "But this chap is hopeless..." "Not even fit for marriage!" "And he has the cheek to bring his own marriage proposal !" "Listen carefully!" "This wedding is not happening" "Mother, if I can't marry her, I'll never get married" "I'll quit home and become an ascetic." " Quiet!" "Am I not talking to him?" "You people are cooking something again?" "Look... sooneror later,wehave  to get our son married, isn't it?" "And what's wrong with Chutki?" "She's just a little childish" "Just as he'll become responsible, so will she" "I'm really fond of Chutki." "And he's our only son" "If he get's married on time, he'll soon have children" "It will bring so much joy." "They'll jump around the house..." "shouting "Grandpa, grandpa"" "You will really love it." "Just think about it" "All that is ok!" "But marriage is no joke!" "I'm not joking either." "I have never interfered in any of the decisions you have taken, so far" "This time you have to consider my point of view as well." "Our son's entire life depends on it" "Now that you have said so much..." "maybe you are right, maybe it turns out good for him" "All right..." "AskMr Radheshyam to come and see me" "Chutki, my angel !" "You've almost killed me with joy today!" "Didn't I tell you?" "Chutki's such a sensible girl" "Our Chutki..." "I can't believe it, she will leave us and go to her in-laws'?" "I'm so happy today!" "May you have the longest life" "Hey... notthatway ." "Over here" "So easily we fooled every one!" "I'm so thrilled today!" "I have never been so happy!" "Watching you so thrilled gives me..." " Nothing can stop me now..." "from going to Bombay!" "So many dreams!" "All of them will be fulfilled !" "Oh certainly." "We're already married" "Not that, Raja !" "This is only the beginning !" "There's so much to do" "When are you going to talk to your father?" "I can't wait anymore." "I've got to go to Bombay!" "Raja..." "I must!" "I'll be having lunch outside, okay?" "Obviously Mr Raja is still fast asleep..." "My respects, father" "Bless you" "Father, I've been thinking, maybe I should start some sort of business..." "Business?" "You can't even handle simple farming, and want to get into business?" "It will all happen, father." "Now that I'm married..." "I have the responsibility of you and mother..." "I 'lllearnthingsnow" "And obviously, Bombay will teach me so much" "What is this thing about Bombay?" "What am I going to do here?" "I'm not interested in counting buffaloes..." "and ploughing the fields." "So I thought I should go to Bombay..." "and do you proud." "Fantastic!" "Haven't you done me enough proud here, already?" "That now you want to spread the word in Bombay too?" "Get those silly ideas of business out of your head" "And don't even dare talk about going to Bombay!" "I'm leaving now" "Father, I could run away, you know?" "What did you say?" "You could run away?" "!" "Leave right now then !" "What are you saying?" "And what's gotten into you?" "Mother, I just want to prove myself." "If I'm able make it, on my own..." "just think of the respect father will command in the village" "Not again !" " What are you doing... ?" "Your son is married now." "You can't treat him like this before his wife!" "Why don't you just hear him out with an open mind?" "Give me just once chance, father." "Khilona's, aunt's son's brother-in-law moved to Bombay just four years ago..." "And he has everything today." "Moron !" "Tell me something..." "What are you deprived of?" "All this belongs to you." "Why don't you take care of all this first?" "I know this is mine." "Why do you feel that I want to leave for good?" "If I leave Gajrolla and go out, I will understand life..." "see the world, see how fast it is pacing ahead..." "maybe learn new things, about the latest farming technology..." "new pesticides, better seeds, to get a better yield..." "I'll be the first one in Gajrolla to use these techniques" "Just imagine, you and our family will be respected so much more" "Our son is becoming quite sensible" "I think you must agree with him" "Well, all right" "I'm not your enemy, you know" "I'm only worried about you." "May God give you all the success" "And now we even have our daughter-in-law for company" "I'll be very happy to spend time chatting with her" "Mother, behind every successful man, there has to be a woman" "Therefore, I may need her in Bombay." " And, he'll be working so hard there" "And me here, living in luxury..." "Just thinking about it, kills me" "And Father, it will mean so much to me if I could be of any help to him" "After all, as a wife, isn't it my duty?" "Wow!" "That's very well said !" "Didn't I tell you?" "Our Chutki is one in a million" "Probably the best thing Raja has done till now..." "is that he has brought such a nice girl to our family" "Raja, don't forget to write!" "It's all happened so fast." "All of them agreed so easily..." "It's unbelievable..." "No one got suspicious" "I think, your mother smelt a rat." " Mother?" "No way!" "Enough, I'm full..." " Ok, we can eat later, if you like" "What time will we reach Bombay?" " If the train doesn't run late..." "we should be there by 9 or 10" "Use this bedsheet, ok?" "Keep the bridal necklace, Raja." "Must be quite expensive" "Raja, wake me up before we reach Bombay." "Sure, don't worry" "I don't think the whole of Gajrolla will have so many people" "Crowded, really" "Chutki... ?" "Raja..." "Where were you?" "I was..." "I was so scared." "They kept pushing and jostling" "You walk ahead now." " Come on" "Hello, sir..." "you want a hotel?" "Cheap accommodation, sir." "Hotel or lodge?" "Out of the way, guys." "One look at new people and all of you pounce" "Come with me." "Don't trust these guys... thugs" "I'll find you cheap accommodation or whatever you need..." "They take advantage of newcomers." "Where would you like to go, sir?" "Actually, even we don't know where to go..." "If you don't mind, may I ask you a question?" "Sure sir, go ahead" "How does one become a film star?" " What?" "Actually, that's why we're here." "She wants to become an actress" "Do you people have any clue about how lucky you are?" "For having met me!" "I hope you're carrying money on you?" " Yes, of course!" "Now see, obviously it will take a while to become an actress..." "No, why should it take much time?" "Movies don't get made in a day, It takes months" "In my opinion, the two of you must rent an apartment" "Rent an apartment... ?" "I could even get you to a hotel, if you'd like..." "If it's going to take some time..." "I even know of the locality where most of the people trying in the movies..." "come and stay." "If you want, I could arrange something" "That would be nice" "In the world of films, things totally change, in just a matter of a second" "Would you know where Madhuri dixit lives?" "Not just Madhuri, Hritik, Shah Rukh, Amitabh Bachchan..." "Aishwarya Rai, Ajay Devgan..." "I know all their addresses" "Ms. Madhuri is my inspiration" "It's from watching her films that I've learnt everything" "Let's visit her first, Raja." "Let's go to her house..." "I could take you to her house, but she's not in town" "She is married and settled in America." "She has moved there for good" "There is no point in going all the way" "If we are not going to see her at all, then let's not go, Chutki" "Please sir, let's go arrange for our apartment first" "Here we are." "This area is called Gokuldham" "All those who want to work in the movies..." "find this locality to be quite affordable" "Rents are low, there are many studios nearby..." "Filmistan, Kamalistan, Film City" "That shop over there." "Prince Diamond" "Give Mr Ratanlal my reference..." "Munnu is my name, got it?" "Munnu." " Right!" "The job will be done" "You're a very good human being" "You've been such a great help." " How much do we owe you?" "Just a second" "997 rupees" "You mean?" "3 less in a thousand?" " Right" "For that much, we could hire a jeep and go all the way..." "to Shahjahanpur from Gajrolla" " Not Shahjahanpur." "This is Mumbai !" "We didn't even travel nine miles..." "how much is the fare really?" "If you did not trust me, you should have discussed it before" "How could we bring it up?" " You could have just asked me!" "You should have told us on your own." " I brought you to the right place" "First of all I bring you to the right place, give you so much information..." "and you chew my brains!" " We don't intend on chewing anything" "We were under the impression that you are being helpful" "Nothing comes for free, here in Mumbai !" "Out with the money now, or you'll have to pay the waiting-charges" "Waiting... ?" " Yes!" "To keep me and the taxi waiting" "Now just pay him, Raja." " Such inane charges, Chutki !" "You have been unfair." "Very unfair" "Here you are" "And don't forget me when you make it as a big heroine." "Munnu is the name" "I don't think we will ever forget you !" "C'mon" "What was that he mentioned?" "There it is!" "Have a seat, my brother and sister" "So, Mr Munnu has sent you here?" "In Mumbai... houses, flats, shops, stalls..." "Everything is available on rent" "How much deposit can you pay?" "100,000?" "200,000?" "No... wearenot lookingtobuy!" "We just want to rent a..." "Sit down... thesewere the reasonable ones..." "As you know, real estate is so expensive in Mumbai" "We're learning..." "What now, Raja?" "Brother, we don't have so much money" "See!" "You just called me brother!" "This is exactly how relationships are built!" "See Mr Raja !" "There is one good deal !" "It's quite affordable" "Just that you'll have to pay the rent for six months, up front..." "And the place is just first-class!" "Mind blowing !" "Doesn't mind blowing mean nice, Chutki?" "Strange people here" "He called this great, first-class, mind blowing !" "Water supply for just 2 hours." "It's more of a factory than a house!" "What do we do now, Raja?" " He has already taken the rent" "We will have to stay here." " It's not the place I'm talking about" "I'm missing home, Raja" "First time, so far away, it's only natural to miss home, Chutki" "I am worried, we are new here, the city is completely new" "How do we start?" "Whom should we meet?" "We don't know anyone here either." " Now Chutki !" "We've come so far without anyone's help, haven't we?" "It's your belief in yourself that has brought us this far" "Now you don't loose hope!" "Let's just clean up the mess, get settled..." "and we will figure something out in the morning." "Everything will be fine" "God will set everything right." "Get up now" "Here we are... atthestudio" "Not just Madhuri, the Meena Kumaris to the Bipashas..." "all the actresses have acted in this studio" "Where are you going?" " I want to go inside!" "You can't enter!" " But everyone else is going in" "They are regulars" " Now, even I'll be regular" "Really?" "You come here regularly and I'll drive you out, regularly!" "No, no, sir, ex cuse me..." "I'm Rajaram Singh, son of Jwala Singh, the village chief of Gajrolla" "She has come all the way from Gajrolla, to become an actress" "She's from Gajrolla or Gangotri, what do I care?" "Do you have a cine artist ID?" "Do you... ?" "No entry without ID, that's it!" "How can we get the ID?" " After you've worked in three films" "But films are made in there!" " Yes!" "And unless you let us in..." "We can't work in the movies!" "How do we get the ID then?" "I don't know about that!" "Okay, where can we meet the producers and directors?" "I don't know about that!" " Please tell us something, brother." "Where should we begin?" " I don't know about that!" "How do all the newcomers go about things?" "Go and ask them !" " But the problem is, where do we go?" "I don't know about that!" " No, please..." "don't fold your hands." " What do you want me to do?" "I don't know!" " But I know something you don't!" "She is known as the Madhuri dixit of our village, Gajrolla !" "Is that so?" "Not very long ago, I gave Amitabh Bachchan a complex!" "Is all this one big joke for you?" "Should just show you what I'm capable of?" "He thinks I'm a joke!" " I beg you !" "Please spare me!" "Let me do my job!" "Please go away!" "One moment..." "Brother, what time do you get off?" " Why?" "You want to thrash me?" " No, just thought we'll come back then" "Goodbye!" "He wouldn't even let us in !" " Don't worry, there are other studios" "Get the hell out of here!" " Is this any way to treat... ?" "in front of the kids, you are... ?" " There is nothing they don't know!" "Get out!" " There's a limit to everything" "This happens every day" "It'll get sorted in a while..." "You people just moved in?" " Yes" "Good" "I'm so glad you're here" "For years, I was deprived the joy of having neighbors" "Sit down." "Please be seated" "The name is Rajanlal Soni." "Fondly they call me Soni-saheb..." "And you... ?" " Rajaram Singh" "And she?" " Chutki" "Your sister?" " No, no" "Wife?" " No, no, no" "What do I care as long as I have some nice neighbours!" "Won't you even offer a cup of tea to your neighbour?" "Sure, I'll make some..." "You sit down." "Chutki will make it" "This is going to happen often, you know?" "My wife... shethrowsmeout of the house, every alternate day!" "But why does she do that!" "?" " All because of this film business" "Are you in the film business?" "In it?" "I've been in it for the last 25 years!" "But honestly, the films business has ruined my entire life!" "You're just joking, right?" " You think I'm joking?" "All it does is shows you dreams!" "I've slept on the pavements, lived on the streets..." "stayed without food for days together!" "You know?" "I've worked in over 50 films!" "But you won't really find me in any!" "These days I just put up with my nagging wife..." "give maths tuitions to 3rd standard students..." "and in the evening, have my nip of booze and go to sleep" "If you ever want to curse an enemy..." "just wish that he should join the film business!" "We don't have tea leaves." "I'll go and get some" "See?" "She got emotional with my story."

"That's why I've come all the way" "Mr Roomi..." " Please... youcancallmeRoomi" "Okay." "Since you know so much about films..." "I was wondering if you could help me out a little..." "I don't know anyone here..." "No big deal !" "What can I do for you?" "If you could please introduce me to some producers and directors... ?" "No problem at all." "Any one you want" "Okay then, Sooraj Barjatya..." "Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Yash Chopra..." "Introduce me to all of them one at a time." "Okay?" "Sure... whynot?" "But Chutki, it will take some time to get appointments with such big guys" "You'll have to wait for some time" "But don't worry!" "I have a friend..." "He is shooting tomorrow." "I can introduce you to him if you'd like" "Tomorrow?" "When?" " At about eleven" "That's great!" "I live right here." "On the fourth floor" "Right next to the staircase" "Please come home first, then we'll go..." "Ok?" "Oh yes, why not?" "See you at your place at eleven tomorrow" "All right." "Please do come." "I'll be waiting" "Yes, of course!" "That was so smooth, Roomi..." "It didn't take you long" "You know me... shehasinvited me home tomorrow morning" "Don't tell me!" "You are too much !" "I've just have to take her to some studio tomorrow" "I'll show her any of the shoots happening there" "She gets what she wants, I get what I want!" "Roomi-ji..." "You look pretty" "Please come in" "Nice place." "You've found yourself a nice house" "Actually I'm really fortunate to have run into you" "Don't know anyone else in this city" "I mean, I'm here." "You needn't worry about anything" "Hello." " Who is he... ?" "This is Raja." "We've come together from Gajrolla" "Mr Roomi, you're the first person in this city to help us..." "without any ulterior motive." "Thanks you so much." "I'll be right back" "But you can't go with us!" " Why not?" "We're going on a motorcycle, you see." " That's okay..." "I won't take much space." "I'll get ready in a moment" "Three people aren't allowed on a bike." "The police will catch us" "Let's take an auto-rickshaw." "He would also like to watch a film shoot" "We've got to go to S.K. Studios beyond Chembur!" "We'll unnecessarily end up spending 100 - 200 rupees" "And we aren't going to watch a shoot." "We have a meeting with the director" "No problem, we can meet the director today and watch a shoot tomorrow..." "Raja, Roomi-ji's right." "Let me go for the meeting today..." "next time, we'll all go together" " Yes, c'mon, we'll be late" "But..." "Hurry up" "Come" "Please go slow..." "I'm scared" "Don't be scared." "Just hold on tight... that'sall" "Looks like the beginning of a whole new plot." "This shoot seems right." " What?" "My friend's shoot" ""O beloved, do not twist my arm... "" ""you might break my bangles... "" ""and your butterball will be angry with you"" "Let's go..." " One moment!" "The director is my friend, but at shoots he is a little tensed" "So he might not behave familiar, okay?" " All right" "Good morning, sir." " Good morning... whatis it ?" "She just wants to meet with you." " Hello, sir" "Regarding acting..." " Hello" "I'm a little busy right now, but why don't you bring her to the office..." "We can speak there, at leisure" "Roomi-ji, do you know where the office is?" "We can meet again in the office." "If you could please spare a moment..." "Do you have any photographs?" " I do..." "I 'mcarryingthem..." "She has them, sir!" "Here you are" "They are so beautiful..." "how can anyone laugh at them?" "What sort of people did he take you to?" "It's not the people, Raja." "It's these pictures" "Roomi-ji explained everything to me." "To get work in the movies..." "I need to get a portfolio clicked..." " And where can we get that done?" "A portfolio costs a lot of money, Raja" "But Roomi-ji has offered to do it for free!" "So Roomi-ji can even do your portfolio?" "Roomi-ji can do everything !" "We'll have to leave early tomorrow morning, find a nice place..." "and click loads of pictures!" "What are you doing... ?" "Give that to me" "There's something I can't understand, Chutki" "How can all the talent you have be projected by some pictures?" "For that, don't you need to meet a director, face to face?" "But, Raja..." " All right, maybe I'm wrong" "It makes sense to ask for pictures if the person can't present himself" "What sort of people would ask for your pictures when you are right there?" "You sound right, But Raja..." "I visited the studio again, when you were gone..." "Why?" "That rude watchman..." " He's totally changed now!" "How?" " I just gave him some money..." "and he told me everything." "A very big film is being shot there tomorrow" "We'll go there early and directly meet the director himself" "All right!" "But Raja, we're expecting Roomi-ji tomorrow" "Why must we take so many favours from him?" "We'll ask Mr Soni to tell Roomi-ji that we have gone to the studio" "All right." "But we will meet the director, won't we?" "Of course we will." "Just don't worry" "I've made all the arrangements" ""That my gaze meets yours today, my heart is devastated... "" "What sort of heroes we have these days?" "Call Rajiv." "Let's take" "Your shot is ready, sir" "That's Rajiv Kumar, isn't it?" "!" " Yes, it is" "And that new girl... ?" "She's the veteran Neelima's daughter." "Isn't she?" ""I've lost my senses, I've lost my sleep... "" ""I wonder what's happening to me"" "The one you thought to be the hero, is actually the choreographer" "But why does he need to move like that?" "Tea, here" "Tea" "We even get to drink tea, Chutki !" "Bablu, is the continuity all right?" "All right, sir." " Mr Bhalla, are the dancers in place?" "Hurry up, everyone!" "Yes, let's take!" ""That my gaze meets yours today, my heart is devastated... "" ""I've lost my senses, I've lost my sleep... "" ""I wonder what's happening to me"" "Okay till here, Bobby." "Let's move to the next shot" "She dances pretty well." "Doesn't she, Chutki?" "My foot!" "The choreographer is far more graceful !" "All wrong !" "She is just not following him correctly..." "She is not that bad, Chutki..." " No trace of expressions on her face" "He's dancing so well" "She doesn't know anything." " What do you mean... ?" "Hold this, let me show you..." "Bablu !" "Come here..." " Yes sir?" "Why is she rehearsing there?" "Call her here!" "What are you doing here?" "You ought to be over there" "Hurry up, the director's shouting at me!" "C'mon !" "He has asked for me?" " Yes, he's calling you." "C'mon" "Chutki !" "What are you thinking about?" "Go on" "I told you, I need the location." "The script demands it!" "So tell the producer, the director's asking for it!" "What's lying there?" "It's getting into the frame" "Please stay here, I'll be back" "Let him finish, then we shall meet him" "Talk to him and call me." "Okay... ?" "Get that crane down." "Let me see the frame" "Bhalla, what're they doing in front of the camera?" "Give them their positions" "You guys..." " Bablu-ji has called us" "You're a dancer, aren't you?" " Yes, how did you know?" "I know everything." "Please go there" "But I'm not a dancer..." " So what are you doing here?" "Move" "But... ?" " Not a word now" "The director wants to see all dancers" "Very good !" "Go immediately, Chutki..." " She'll go... youcomewithme" "Ms Simi, this will be your hand position" "This is your position, Rajiv-ji." "Stay very close to Ms Simi" "Sir, can we bring that girl up ahead?" "That one?" " Yes" "Me... ?" "I can't understand what you're saying" "He's asking you to come ahead" "All right" "I'm going to the monitor" "God help" ""You're the Prince of my heart"" ""I'm the Princess of your heart"" ""You're what my love story is all about... "" ""I'm what your love story is all about"" "Fantastic!" "I stood there and saw the whole thing Chutki..." "Youwereterrific!" "The girls also said I was good." " The director also is very happy" "Roomi-ji's here!" "What are you doing here?" " This is incredible, Roomi-ji" "The director called me right ahead and watched my dance." "He loved it!" "Instead of the photo-shoot, we came to the shoot directly!" "Looks like it will all happen now!" "The two of you are crazy!" "When I've promised to help you..." "where's the need for you to barge into someone's shoot like this?" "What rubbish !" "The director himself called us" "And you needn't worry." "It's all going to work out now..." "You shut up, okay?" "You want to make her a heroine or a junior artiste?" "Junior... what?" "The crowd !" "Look there." "The one ahead is the heroine" "The girls behind her, where you were, are called junior artistes" "Once you get known as a junior artiste..." "no one will cast you as the heroine, all your life" "You understand?" "Just leave quickly now!" "Raja, when you don't know anything, why do you mess up things?" "What would have happened if Roomi-ji hadn't arrived here?" "Let's go now... c 'mon" "I diotic director." "Doesn't even know how take a shot, just keeps yelling..." "One moment, ex cuse me?" "Stay close, in the next shot, you're right behind the heroine" "Not behind the heroine!" "I'm here to become one myself!" "I don't want anything of this..." "let's go, Raja" "One moment... you'repartof continuity now." "You can't go away" "Continnn... what?" "Sir, it's a mistake." "Forgive us..." " Don't you utter a word !" "You've done enough already." "Let's get out of here, quick" "One moment..." "I 'vejust taken up this job and..." "if you're not around in the next shot, the director's going to kill me!" "Bablu... what'shappeninghere?" " Nothing, sir." "She wants to leave..." "So just talk to the junior artiste supplier Bhalla, why are you hassling me about it?" "Director-sir... she'snotajunior." "Neither does she want to be one" "So what does she want to be?" "The heroine?" "Yes!" "You've got it right" "That's exactly why I brought her here to meet you" "Chutki, come and talk to him" "Why did you put her in the frame?" "!" " Sir..." "You called for her and Mr. Bhalla gave her the position, sir" "Me?" "Where the hell is Bhalla?" "Bhalla !" "Why did you put her into the frame?" "Sir Bablu had called her." "And you told me to give her a position" "That's not my headache... andwhat the hell were you doing there?" "Director sir... pleasedon't get upset..." "Justhearmeout..." "Instead of that girl in there, you should use her, as the heroine" "She's a far better dancer." "You saw it and even praised it." "Who on earth let them in !" "?" "Ask Bobby to find a replacement." "And post a production person here" "Don't let any cheapskate like them get in !" "You got that?" "He called me a cheapskate." "No one's going to cast me in their films now." "Don't worry, Chutki..." "He's not the only director, and when I've promised you a portfolio..." "what's your problem... ?" "Just make sure you don't listen to anyone else henceforth" "Now let's get out of here" "Wow!" "What a location !" "It'll be lots of fun to do a photo-session here!" "Nobody will disturb us" "Brother Roomi, couldn't we just click some pictures at home, on the terrace" "Or even gone to a photo-studio?" " If you know all, why don't you do it!" "The location, background are very important for a portfolio, Chutki..." "Ask him not to bother me now!" " Raja, stay quiet now," "Roomi-ji's right!" "So where do you want to do the photo-session?" "Come with me, this way..." "This is exactly why I didn't want us to tag him along" "Watch it... careful" "Had we come on our own, this photo session would've been a dream" "Don't mind him." "That's how he is." " But..." "Ask him not to disturb my concentration" "Not a word from you, Raja." "Let us get to work." "Just sit there" "Stay here, okay?" "Pull your hand together..." "a bit lower, the other one" "Hold this" "Try another pose" "Your body arched..." "slide down the veil a bit..." "that's better" "Turn this way..." "no, chin down..." "You look very beautiful" "Now let's try something different" "No..." "It'snotworking." "That magic is missing..." "Oh !" "Your hair is getting blown away" "A bit upwards..." "likethis" "Chutki, let's go" "How can we do anything if you keep interrupting, Raja?" "You are pissing him off now..." "We've got enough pictures already..." " Not at all, Raja." "We just about got started..." " Chutki... onemoment." "Raja, sit down." "We've got work to do" "Enough, brother Roomi." " Didn't I just ask you to sit down?" "You've taken 5 or 7 pictures already." "That's enough." "Let's go, Chutki" "Just sit there!" "Ok?" " Don't touch me, brother Roomi" "Touch you... !" "?" "Whatareyou  going to do, if I do?" "I swear I'll break your head !" " Raja !" "Put that stone down !" "Put that stone down..." "Ask him to put it away!" "Are you mad?" "Throw it away!" " Raja, throw that stone away" "This is it, Raja !" "I'm leaving !" "Let him go..." "Let's go" "You didn't have to, Roomi-ji !" "How dare he threaten a future star with a stone!" "It wasn't my fault!" " Then whose was it?" "If I hadn't stopped Roomi-ji, you'd have been in hospital right now!" "No sit still..." "It'sjustabruise, should be ok, by tomorrow" "You know how much we need Roomi-ji?" "And you threatened to break his head?" " I only stopped because of you" "I'd have just gone for it!" " So go and break his head !" "Break his legs also" "Whether portfolio is done or not, whether I get any work or not..." "What do you care?" " But..." "But, what... ?" "Do you know?" "how embarrassed I'll now be to face Roomi-ji?" "He'll never ever help me now!" "What will happen of me?" " Why do you think like this?" "How else am I supposed to think?" "There was just one person..." "who could help us and you've driven even him away!" "Where were you all day?" "You could've at least told me!" "Our work is done!" " What work, Raja?" "I've found the solution to all our problems" "Just consider yourself a big heroine!" " You've gone crazy, Raja !" "Oh no, not at all !" "I spent the whole day getting to know the film industry today..." "from the stem to the root!" "We needn't depend on Roomi or anyone else anymore" "Roots?" "!" "Stems?" "!" "What the hell are you talking about?" "Will you get to the point?" "Most of the film-makers either work with only the big stars..." "or only with star kids." " Is that something to be happy about?" "The good news is that there are just a couple of film-makers..." "who choose to work only with newcomers" "One of them is Kapil Arya" "Kapil Arya... ?" "Ohyes, he made that movie last year" "What was it called... ?" TheTrain"!" "Nice film, we've seen it, remember?" "He made so many careers in just one stroke" "I've got all the information on him." "He's starting another film..." "and he's on the lookout for newcomers!" "Both, the timing and the person are right, Chutki !" "That's all right." "But how will we meet him?" "And how will I convince him about my talent?" "Just one look and he can see an artist, Chutki" "I've even got his address." "We'll go there tomorrow" "Take it from me." "Once he meets you... itwillbeenough" "Raja, maybe he's the only one who can do something for me now" ""Speed-breaker ahead"" "It's supposed to be the third bungalow..." "There!" "Yes, that's the one." "Let's go, hurry" "We wish to meet Mr Kapil Arya." " He's not in" "Who wants to meet him?" " She has to meet him" "Is it regarding acting?" "Leave your photographs here." "We'll call you back" "We don't have a phone or photographs." " We have no photographs..." "so it's necessary that she meets him personally" "Mr Kapil Arya does not have a fix ed routine" "If he owns such a big office here, he'll definitely come some time!" "We'll stand here all day, if we have to... wehavetomeet him" "But he doesn't meet anyone like this." " How does he meet then?" "That's his car..." "please clear out." "Open the gates!" "The moment the car stops, rush ahead to him and tell him everything" "Without fear, tell him everything very clearly about yourself" "I've reached the office already." "You can give me a call later" "What have you done?" "He is gone..." "and you didn't say a word to him !" "You're such a chatterbox otherwise!" " But he didn't even notice me" "How would he?" "He doesn't know you !" "You should have spoken to him" "Why didn't you say something?" " I was waiting for you to speak..." "and you let this opportunity slip." " You've been called inside..." "Let's go, Chutki !" " Not her, you" "Me?" " Yes" "First, the agent is spoken to." " Agent?" "C'mon, hurry up!" "Go on !" "Go!" " You stay here" "Not to worry." "Whoever enters these gates, never returns unhappy" "The job is done!" "What happened?" "I told him everything about your talent, your dancing ability..." "I told him everything." "They even discussed money..." "They have cast ME instead !" "Whom do you wish to see?" " Mr Asif" "Sir..." " Come in" "Sir, could I have 5 minutes with you please?" "Any problem?" " No, sir" "Actually, sir... she'stheone  we came here for" "She has so much of talent, sir..." "it's just amazing" "People here don't know about it, but back in Gajrolla..." "everyone comes to see her perform." " Really?" "I have a request, sir." "Please cast her as the heroine in your film" "All right." "Leave her pictures with Leora outside" "If something comes up, we'll let you know" "What will come up and when, sir... ?" "Cast her in the film you are making now sir" "Raja, it doesn't work like that." "The movie I'm making..." "So how does it work, sir?" "We have come to you with great hopes, sir" "Sir, just "fit" her in your film, sir." "It'll be a great hit" "Look, you're wasting our time and your own..." "Raja, the casting of this film is complete" "And we don't have a heroine's part in this film" "To have or not have a part is all in your hands, sir" "And besides what's a movie without a heroine!" "Raja, let's go." " Hang on" "Sir, I don't know any acting." "Drop me from the film..." "and cast her instead" "Let's go out and talk it over." "I'll help you understand, Raja" "One moment... he'stheone  who needs to understand, not me" "Sir, the stuff she's got, no other girl can ever have!" "Really?" "And what does she have?" "You want to make ME understand, isn't it?" "Go ahead..." "The stuff you are talking about How come I don't see it?" "I wonder what world you folks live in !" "What did you think?" "A few people applause..." "and she should become the heroine?" "Do you have any idea how many girls come to this office every day..." "to become heroines?" "I don't see anything special in her" "They just form dreams and come here..." "expecting us to waiting here..." "to fulfill their dreams" "Nobody wants to see the truth" "Sir, I'm sorry for the insolence, but all I'd like to say is..." "if you give her a break..." "if you are kind enough..." "she'll leave all the heroines behind" "And make sure they don't come to this office again" "All I was saying..." "Please come with me... come." "You needn't be disheartened..." "Kapil Arya is a big man." "He makes such great movies" "He must be right..." " What right?" "!" "All wrong, Chutki" "He sees girls every day, Raja..." " Who does he see?" "He knows nothing !" " You don't understand Raja !" "Talent flows from the heart, Chutki." "Is not in the face!" "And that's all he saw..." "Nobody is able to see your sincerity, your talent..." "They've been judging you by your looks" "So what's wrong with my looks?" "I look fine..." "You are very beautiful !" "But they've not understood your simplicity" "I feel, to get work, you must look a little modern" "I don't know, Raja..." "Just see..." "that's how even ordinary girls dress up in this city" "You'll have to change your appearance a bit, Chutki" "But this will need a lot of money, Raja." "And we don't have any..." "Just don't worry about the money!" "I'll go to the village tomorrow and make all the arrangements" "How can you go back... ?" "What if your father..." "Just don't think about all that..." "I'll be back, before you know it." "You'll take care, won't you?" " I'm getting worried about you" "You'll be all alone." " I'll be home all day, don't worry" "Raja, you'll convince your father, won't you?" "At least this much advantage I will take, of being the only son, Chutki" "Don't worry and look after yourself" "Do you want me to convey a message to Manju or your folks?" "We haven't even called home since we've come" "Tell my parents and Manju..." "that I'll call at Khilona's father shop on Saturday night at nine" "All right." " Don't forget" "It's okay." "I must leave now" "Raja... youwillcomeback , won't you?" "Of course, I will." "Look after yourself" "Take care" "Did you see Amitabh Bachchan?" " No" "Aishwarya Rai?" " From a distance" "Did you get to touch her?" " Stop it!" "Your father's also going to ask why you didn't bring Chutki along" "Things are just beginning to settle down, Mother." "How could I bring her?" "All right, come along" "Have the trucks left?" " Long ago, sir" "The rest of the bricks, are they already in the kiln?" "Yes, sir." " Listen..." "I ook who's here!" " Father..." "Raja !" "You're back?" "Bless you !" "What is this, no letter, no call?" "There was so much to do in Bombay..." " Any way..." "I 'mgladyou'reback" "Take a look." "There is a huge charitable home being built in Billai" "They're using our bricks." "The contractor Hariprasad..." "is very happy with our product." "He says they're of ex cellent quality!" "Now that you're back, you must look after it" "Employ Khilona too." "He keeps loafing around all day" "Why haven't you brought your wife?" "She'd have loved to see this" "Chutki is back there in Bombay." "He's here only for a few days" "For a few days... ?" "Whatdoesitmean ?" "And she's there!" "?" "All alone!" "?" "It was necessary to leave her back there, father" "One has to dig his feet there in the city" "So you've come, to go back?" "Then why didn't the two of return once and for all, after your work finished?" "Father, actually I need some money" "More money?" "What for?" "In Bombay I discovered, different things from different places..." "are very famous." "Bananas from Bhusaval, oranges from Nagpur..." "apples from Kulu, rice from Saharanpur..." "grapes from Nashik!" " Yes, etc. etc." "So?" "We could grow all these right here in Gajrolla !" "How?" "If the soil here is mix ed with the ingredients of those lands..." "we'll have an equally nice harvest, father" "Really?" "How is that possible?" "It'll just cost some more money for the training..." "but you can watch the wonders then" "His enthusiasm seems quite honest..." "Father, I brought this for you" "What is it?" " Dark glasses" "Oh !" "It's very sunny nowadays" "Wow!" "it feels like evening now" "Looks great on you, father." " You want more money, right?" "Come, let's go home" "When I'm clean shaven, they say I look very soft..." "when I grow a beard, they say, I look negative" "Can't understand what I should do get work?" "Carry a cell-phone." " What?" "Cell-phone?" "And who will pay the bills?" "You moron, how will there be any bills without a SIM card?" "Whenever you go meet people for work, pretend to be busy on the cell-phone" "See what an impression you make." "Work will come pouring in" "You couldn't make an impression on an ordinary village belle..." "and here, you talk big !" "None of your charms worked on her, I must say..." "You seem to have lost your touch man !" "I'm told that the midget has walked out on her" "What are you saying?" "!" " That's what I heard" "Watch me now!" "I'm going to make her MY heroine" "Like hell he will !" "Roomi-ji... you?" "I was chatting with my friends and we got talking about you" "So I thought I'd check on you." "Where's Raja?" "I'm all right and Raja has gone to the village" "Please come in" "He'll return in 3-4 days." "It was something important" "Please sit down." "I'll get water" "The way Raja misbehaved with you during the photo-shoot..." "I apologise." " But it wasn't your fault?" "It was my fault." "I shouldn't have stooped to Raja's level" "Unnecessarily fought." "Anyway, forget all that" "So what else is happening?" "Nothing's happening." "Raja took me to Mr Kapil Arya the other day..." "That Kapil Arya's a fool !" "I've been in this business for over 2 years..." "and I haven't even once gone to meet him." "Weird movies he makes." "I don't know how they work" " But Raja was saying..." "If you're going to listen to Raja you'll never become a heroine." "I can't understand how you can even stay with Raja !" "Now look Chutki..." "We share the same objective" "We share the same dream." "So why don't we struggle together?" "I know so many big producers, I go to their lavish parties" "If I took you along..." "the two of us... ?" "Together... ?" "You do understand what I'm saying, don't you?" "Please go away, Roomi-ji..." " Why're you brushing my hand away?" "Please leave." " I'll change your life, Chutki !" "Please go away." " But what happened?" "I don't know all that." "Please leave." " I'll make you a heroine!" "I don't want anything..."

"Who do you think you are?" "Have you ever seen how you look?" "You look like a bloody monkey!" "You want to become a heroine?" "You... ?" "You won't get work even as a junior artiste!" "What do you think you are?" "Bloody illiterate villager!" "Don't know how to talk, don't know to dress..." "every time people see you down..." "they laugh at you !" "I've just been calling beautiful and gorgeous..." "That too, because I was hitting on you..." "Just wanted to have a good time." "What else are you good for!" "?" "I come across thousands of girls like you, everyday!" "And you lash out with scissors at me?" "!" "Sister!" "How are you?" " Manju..." "I'm fine." "How are you?" "I'm fine, sis." "We miss you so much" "But you don't miss me in Bombay, do you?" "Know what?" "We have a lot of mangoes on our tree this season" "And Sunita tried so much to raise donations for a show" "But they all said, "What's a show without Chutki?"" "Listen to the this one, sis." "You know Seema... ?" "her marriage has been fix ed" "She was asking me if you would come" "I told her that until your..." "I mean, until Raja's work is not set, she won't be able to come" "Am I right, sis?" "Yes, you're right, Manju." "Sis, tell me something about Bombay" "Do you follow what I'm saying?" " What all to say, Manju?" "It's such a big city, there are so many people here..." "I've seen so many shootings" "Even met so many big people" "I think, in a few days..." "something might come through" "Enough, you wretch !" "Let me talk to her!" "One minute, mother!" " How much will you make her spend?" "Give it to me now!" "Chutki... howareyou ,mychild?" "I'm okay, Mother." "How are you?" "We're all fine here." "But we miss you so much" "Why didn't you come with Raja?" "You could've also visited us" "You're all alone in Bombay..." "I get so worried" "No, Mother." "The people here are very nice." "Very helpful" "Don't worry about me." "I'm all right" "Very well." "But look after yourself" "One moment." "Talk to your father" "Hurry up!" "Chutki... youhaveforgottenus" "I feel as if..." "it's been years since I saw you" "You had left home in any case but now you've gone so far away..." "your father can't even come to see you" "But you're happy, I hope?" "Why are you so quiet, Chutki?" "Everything's all right, father" "I'm so happy here, I don't feel like returning to the village now" "All right." "I'll hang up now" "I've told Raja to get you to talk to us some times" "Of course, father" "Okay, dear?" "Look after your health, father." "I'm okay" "You must look after yourself too" "Stop here" "How much?" "Chutki !" "How have you been?" " Fine" "Weren't you supposed to come tomorrow?" "As soon as Khilona got my tickets done, I left" "They're all missing you very much." "They were saying..." "ever since you've left, they haven't had a proper show!" "How are your parents?" "They're fine." "I fed my father such stories about Bombay..." "that he gave me more money than I had asked for" "Look at the things they sent for you !" "Your mother has sent laddoos..." "my mother has sent pickles, and a sari..." "which you don't ever wear!" "Paapads, kachoris..." "Khilona, Manju, Sunita... everyone came to see me off at the station" "Manju and Sunita got into the train and weren't prepared to get down" "You're the only one who believes in me, isn't it?" "Raja, I know I have the talent." "But you are right..." "unless I change my appearance, no one else will see it." "You're wanted inside" "One look at your personality, and anyone would give you work" "You don't need an agent" "I'll tell you what..." "Meet this gentleman" "God willing, something will work out for you." "I'll give you a call after meeting him, sir" "No!" "There's no need to call" "Where do these people come from" "Greetings, sir" "I'm Raja." "This is Chutki, sir" "Please, take a seat" "Yes?" "We've heard so much about you, Pyare-ji" "Really... ?"

"Let me see your palm" "What" " Show him your palm" "See, there is no dearth of work in the industry..." "but we should be clear about one thing" "I charge 5000 rupees every month and 23.5 per cent on every assignment" "5000 rupees every month and 23.5 per cent... ?"
