"Someone told me Somebody very close to Zaffar" "I can't disclose the name Ch come on, Sona" "Come on, Tanveer" "I don't believe this Make the character positive?" "I don't have a problem but Rollyji, how do we do it?" "If I should tell you this then why have I hired you as a writer?" "No, I mean, let's think about it but the truth is that the script is exactly like the DVD Ranjit gave me" "What?" "This film was a blockbuster in the U S Super hit!" "But Ranjit this is India The audience here is different" "And don't think that I am telling you this because of Zaffar" "I always thought his character should have been positive" "Sir, how about this?" "The cops don't catch him in the end" "Then?" "I mean, since he is in love, his conscience rebukes him" "After that, we could add a scene in a temple or a monologue in front of the mirror" "Sir, I know it's a cliché but if done with conviction, it'll work" "We'll cut to an empty frame and in the empty frame a close up of a noose" "In a flash, the hero appears in the close up" "The hero looks at the noose" "The noose is swinging, it's symbolic" "The hero contemplates, should he or should he not commit suicide then he takes the noose, kisses it and puts it around his neck" "Hey, film school" "I'm not making this film for the festivals" "I was just thinking aloud" "Brother, don't mind me saying this but I suspect foul play in this" "What is this?"

"I have two invites" "Come on, let's go in" "Looking good Let's go in" "I've never worked with Rani in my career she's a fantastic actress and a very sweet girl" "Shabanaji, hypocrisy demands that one praises the film" "But why did he make such a bad film?" "Then he has the gall to say that even though the reviews are bad the audience reaction is very good" "I said, "sir, when there is no audience where is the reaction coming from?"" "I just loved working with Akshay in fact this is the first film we are doing together" "But the experience was lovely I had a great time" "Scotch!"

"I just want you to know" "Is this a joke?" "Sir, would I lie to you?" "Sir, I am waiting for him at the office" "All you secretaries are liars!" "I swear on my mother, sir!" "Shut up you cheat!" "Bloody manipulator!" "No, sir I really have no idea where he is" "If you don't know, then who does?" "Sir" "Who knows?" "Ask Zaffar's mother and call me back in two minutes, you bloody idiot" "Are you wearing the pearl ring?" "Why are you getting upset at lunchtime?" "Come on, the parathas are hot" "I have lost faith in this industry, Minty" "Rommy" "Don't be like that" "You know how people are in this place" "Don't take these things so seriously How can I not?" "He is not taking my calls or replying to my messages" "This is too much" "Is this any way to behave?" "This generation doesn't have any manners" "There was a time when film making was a joy it's not the same anymore" "Actors young enough to be our children make me chase them for dates" "Is this appropriate?" "After all these years nobody respects me" "Don't say that, Rommy" "Everyone respects you a lot" "Trust me, people really look up to you" "One by one they have all left now it's just these bare walls and the deafening silence dwelling within which asks me, "Devdutt at this juncture of conscience and convenience which path will you take?"" "My heart asks me why this confusion you fool?" "You will be faced with a juncture at every step" "You are only human and this your fate" "The twin paths of conscience and convenience" "Abhi is very talented" "And hard working too" "You know he's been rehearsing the same play for two months everyday" "He'll get a break somewhere" "I hope so" "Why do you say that?" "He's content" "No fire in the belly" "And you?" "You're done" "One moment Eyelash" "I don't want it" "Why not?" "Don't you want to make a wish?" "I don't need to" "Confidence" "And now riding on the wings of the wind the eyelash shall descend carrying with it your wish slowly towards the earth into the waiting arms of an open sewer" "Shut up!" "Rommyji, I'm so sorry" "You know my sister in Chicago there was a family emergency and I" "Everything is okay now, isn't it?" "Yes and no" "Rommyji, I was wondering how much sugar will you take?" "No I'm on a diet" "Okay" "I have been thinking that I haven't taken a break in three years" "That's true You have a lot of work" "His blessings are with you" "But for how long can I continue?" "I mean, I'm working like a machine" "I am becoming mechanical" "Darling, even if you do a bad job you will be better than the others" "Thank you Rommyji..." "You are like a father to me God bless" "I need a favor from you" "Tell me, son" "Relieve me from this film" "You can't be serious Sir, please" "You are leaving my film?" "You won't work with me?"

"Why are you disturbing everyone?" "The debutant leading man in producer Rommy Rolly's Dil ki aag... is a Delhi boy, Vikram Jaisingh" "His middle name could very well be 'the user'" "Word is that he treats most people as stepping stones" "The first rung on the ladder of his cold blooded ambition was a poor little starlet, Sona Mishra" "Vikram practically lived in her house" "In fact she supported him the most during his struggling days" "But people like Vikram don't understand the meaning of the word gratitude" "On getting a break he turned his attention to both Neena and Nikki Walia" "The mother's colorful past is well known it seems the daughter is no less" "Here was a boy who managed to charm both mother and daughter" "A member of the unit told us that on the outdoor shoot" "Vikram would focus on Neena during the day and on Nikki during the long drawn nights" "On coming back Vikram didn't waste anytime before dropping poor Sona Mishra" "Because he knew that being linked to an unknown starlet would not be good for his image as a lead actor" "And now perhaps he is waiting for the release and success of his first film" "So he would get a chance to kick both Neena and Nikki on their faces and look for new pastures" "How could you even dare to print this kind of filth" "You frustrated bitch" "No you shut up and listen" "If you don't print an apology for Nikki and me in your next edition" "Don't forget my name is Neena I'll come to your office and take that rag of a magazine and shove it up your arse" "Stupid bitch!"

"This article is calling me "a ruthless, selfish user"" "and you think it's worked for me?" "Yes" "If a Delhi boy who till yesterday was a nobody has details about his affair with Neena's daughter published" "It can only benefit him" "Mom was right You know" "I am sick of you and your mom" "Instead of listening to her bullshit, if you work on your acting skills even you might stand to benefit" "How dare you talk to me like this?" "Nikki Don't you ever call me again" "How many times I've come over How many times I've called you" "Can't you reply?" "Can't you understand that I don't want to talk to you?"

"She got the photos saying that he was her cousin" "This was printed just recently But I realized then itself that something was fishy How come you never told me?" "Don't you remember she came to meet you at the studio?" "Unbelievable how things fall into place" "Where his pictures came from and where they've gotten him" "But this boy has destiny on his side" "This is what you call luck by chance" "It's Zaffar" "So talk to him He must be getting insecure" "Zaffar my boy!" "What a surprise!" "They are all alike" "The celebrations are on" "What's all this mom?" "The industry folks are sending you flowers" "Vikram had called Call him" "What?" "You spoke to Vikram?"
