All language subtitles for M.S.Dhoni.The.Untold.Story

India! India! India! India!

- And now a quick recap of
the two dismissals.

- Sehwag leg before to Malinga.

- Caught right plum in
front of the wickets.

- And Sachin Tendulkar caught
behind off a very thick egde.

- Muttiah Muralitharan!

- The Wizard of the Emerald Isle
being introduced into the attack!

Excuse me, Gary.
- Yeah.

If a wicket goes down,
I think I should go in.

- But Yuvi is padded up and ready.

No, it's Murli.

I think I should go in.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Just tell him, I'll... I'll go.

- Go, g0, go, go, so!

- Has to hurry, chance of a run out!

- Gambhir survives!

- Catch it!

- That's a stunning catch!
Kohli has to depart!

- India now in a spot of bother!

- Go Dhoni!

- Dhoni! Dhoni! Dhoni! Dhoni!

Paan Singh Dhoni?

Congratulations, it's a boy.

Mr. Ghosh.

Congratulations, it's a girl.

Thank you.

Rascals, you have a sister.

Both are okay, Dhoni.

Mother and daughter.

But doctor,
the nurse just said it's a boy.

Huh! Did she say boy?
- Yes.

Just a minute.

What did Paan Singh Dhoni have?
- A boy.

And Ghosh?
- Girl.

Oh...

You're right. It's a boy.

And Mr. Ghosh,
congratulations for the baby girl.

Okay?

Unbelievable.

If they continue like this...

some day the babies
will get exchanged!

Mr. Dhoni.

Just don't argue with him.
- Okay, sir.

Just listen to what
he says and say yes.

Right sir.
- Actually, Deval sir is rarely wrong.

He's played for Ranji.

And he was also the Vice-President...

of the Bihar Cricket Association.

Understood?
- Yes sir.

Pause here.

Who commissioned this AV, Roy?

Sinha sir did.

There's something I must
tell him over the phone.

Remind me later.

Yes, sir.

Rakesh, we're in the 90s now.
- Right sir.

Change the sitar
music in the background.

Yes sir.

And reshoot the ground
footage in 3 months.

Is there anything wrong...

with the ground footage?

- You call this a ground?

Is this where you want
our children to practice...

...and compete with
kids from other states?

Reshoot this ground in three months.

We're putting in a turf wicket here.

I'm going to completely
revamp this stadium.

Sir, may I ask you something,
if you don't mind?

Why aren't Bihar's players...

regulars in the national games?

Isn't that what you want to ask?

Yes, sir.

We love politics more
than cricket. Get it?

See you.
-Yes.

Budhia.
- Yes, sir.

Why haven't you
watered the ground yet?

Pump-operator Paan Singh's refusing.

What do you mean by he's refusing?

He's saying there's no water.

Get him here.
- Yes, sir.

What's going on?
- Don't worry, sir.

Paan Singh,
Deval sir's calling you to the ground.

What happened now?

- Be strict with these people.

Do you see the
condition of the ground?

Hello, sir.
- Hello.

Why haven't you
watered the ground yet?

Sir, right now the water's
being supplied to the family quarters.

I'll water the ground,
if there's any left.

What's the problem in doing it now?

If the family quarters
don't get enough...

I'll have to answer to them.

And what about the stadium?

If the families need to eat...

the children also need to play.
- Yes, sir.

Do you expect the
children to play on this?

You're right, sir.

Then water the ground right now.

Sir, it'll be wrong to do it now.

I've a suggestion.

I'll water the field
at night after 11.

That will solve everyone's problems.

What time do you sleep?

Currently I'm on the morning shift.

So I sleep by 9pm.

Can you sleep at 9pm
and wake up at 11pm again?

Yes, you don't worry about that.

Goodbye, sir.

What do you mean he won't play?

Try to understand, Mrs. Shukla,
the match is just three days away...

and now you're saying he won't play.

If he doesn't play,
who's going to do the wicket-keeping?

His father's getting furious.

His board exams are
just around the corner.

If he wastes his time playing cricket...

then when will he study?

But the exams start after 2 months.

Exactly my point,
only 2 months are left.

Wicket-keeping won't do him any good.

And if his percentage
drops even by a notch...

his father will create a ruckus.

Look, your son plays really well.

You're ruining his
life for a few marks.

Let him play,
he'll make it really big someday.

How big?

At the most he'll go
from Ranchi to Jamshedpur.

No Banerjee sir, please spare him.

His father wants to make him a lawyer.

He wants to send him to Kolkata.

Come, Pintu.

Come on.
- Mrs. Shukla.

Listen to me!

His present is still uncertain
and she wants to shape his future.

Chittu, come here.

- Yes sir?

Who's that boy?
- Goalkeeper?

Yes.

That's Mahi. He's my classmate.

Look, don't tell him I asked.

Ask him if he's interested
in playing cricket.

What did he say?

He said, "Are you mad,
who wants to play with a tiny ball".

Come...

Come...

Jayanti, tell Mahi to do his homework!

Mahi, do your homework!

Just 5 more minutes.

Come...

Mahi, papa is home!

Here.

They sat down to study
after they saw my cycle.

Of course.

Why don't you two fix
a daily routine for yourselves?

2 hours for studies and
then 2 hours for playing.

Mahi's already fixed
a routine for himself.

2 hours for playing and
then another 2 hours for playing.

Let it be, I'll deal with them.

I've to go tonight.

Why?

Overtime again?
- No. It's a small thing.

You haven't been
well the past two days.

Let it be.

I've already said that I'll do it.

It's not too much work.

The ground's completely
dried up as well.

Monuments are built by,
between 16th and 17th Century...

Come back soon.

Budhia, switch on the lights
and start the water-pump!

Okay!

Good morning.
- Good morning, sir.

Good morning.
- Good morning, sir.

- Did you do your history homework?

Hey!

Sir, me?

Yes. Come here.

What's your name?

Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

You're a good goalkeeper.

I saw you play yesterday.
Keep it up.

Thank you, sir.

What other sports do you like?

Badminton. Table Tennis.

Would you like to play cricket?
- No, sir.

No interest in cricket?

Not really.

Scared of playing with a hard ball?
- No, sir.

The wicket-keeper trials
are after school today.

Play for me.

Okay, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

I'm not scared of playing
with the hard ball.

Thank you sir.

Catch the ball!

Yeah, catch it.

- Catch it. Yeah.

- Don't drop it.

- On!

You're completely useless...

in sports and studies.

- Let's see you catch some more.

- Come on.

What's your problem?
Can't you see the ball?

- It's a red ball! Can't you see it?

You can't do anything right.

Good afternoon, sir.
- Good afternoon.

Shabbir, give him some gloves.

Wear those gloves.

You come here.

Now go.

Go stand on the mark, come on.

- Ready?
- Yes, sir.

Throw...

You don't punch the ball in cricket.

You catch the ball, understood?
- Yes, sir.

Ready.

Come on, throw, throw.

Are you trying to
catch a ball or fish?

- Catch it. No problem!

- Concentrate!

- Keep your eyes on the
ball right till the end!

Very good!

Yes, that's it.

Correct.

Very good. Very good.

Very good.

That's it! That's it!

Very good!

- Good. Very good!

Come here.

Hey, stop!

Would you like to do
wicket-keeping for the school team?

Sir, I like to bat more than
anything in cricket.

Concentrate on your
wicket-keeping first.

But sir...
- I said wicket-keeping.

You must practice every
day for two hours after school.

Okay?

Can I keep the gloves?

Keep them.

Shabbir, give him the inners as well.

Take care of them.

Yes sir.
- They are school property.

I'm only allowing this
as a special case.

Sister!

Sister!
- What?

Look.
- What is that?

Wicket-keeping gloves.

I've been selected
for the school team.

All play and no work
will ruin your life.

All work and no play
will help you succeed.

All work and no
play will ruin my life.

All play and no work
will make me succeed.

Mahi, wait!

Mahi!

Mom, Mahi wants to say something.

Tell her.

What is it, Mahi?

Mom, I've been selected
for the school's cricket team.

SQ?

So, I have to practice for
2 hours every day after school.

And your studies?

I'll do it when I come back.

Honestly.

Just talk to papa.

Please, mom.

And his studies?
- He'll do it after he comes back.

What do you mean by he'll do it?

He'll manage.

His heart is set on it.

Come here.

YES, papa'

When did you catch this cricket fever?

Today.

Fine, but don't let
it affect your studies.

Not even a bit.
- Yes.

What am I?

What do I do?
- You're a pump operator.

That's why I keep insisting
that you study.

Don't be like me.

Sports has its own importance.

But only if you study hard
will you be successful.

Understand?

Yes.

Go.

It's so hard to get
a government job these days.

"Rub cream on the face of the sun."

"Crazy, climb on the clouds."

"Rub cream on the face of the sun."

"Crazy, climb on the clouds."

"Open your books and let us study."

"A battle took place in Panipat."

"Listen to your heart.
Don't be afraid, be brave."

"if you fear, you shall get nothing."

"if you study,
you shall become a nobleman."

"if you play,
you shall become a failure."

"if you study,
you shall become a nobleman."

"if you play,
you shall become respectable."

- How much is that for?

Rs. 400 for that one.
- Oh no!

And this one?
- Rs. 200.

Fine, how much for this one?
- Rs. 80.

Hurry up,
I'm getting late for practice.

Who told you to schedule
practice on Sunday?

Yes...

Fine, final price 60.

I won't pay more than 50.

He won't. Let's go, let's go.

50 isn't possible.
- Okay, fine.

Sister...

- Good shot!

- Who's next?

- What are you doing?

- You're bowling so short.

Come on, Sanjay.

Good ball, good ball. Next!

Good shot again!

Next, quickly!

Aakash'?
- Yes, Mam.

Will you let me bat for a while?

Banerjee sir only
makes me wicket-keep.

What are you doing?

No, No, No. I said 50.

Okay, 55 and it's yours.

Oh, God!
- 50 means 50.

Just give it to her!
- Okay.

Weigh it first. Come on. Quickly.

Give him 50.
- I am, hold on.

Fine?
- Fine, fine.

Cut the pieces.

Mahi's stretching like
he's going to whack the ball.

Sanjay, bowl him an easy ball.

Whoa!

- Good shot Mahi, good shot!

Here's your money.

Take it.

What's the hurry?

You don't understand anything.
- Yeah!

Because you're the
only smart one!

Taking me shopping during
practice hours.

Wait, wait, wait...

Now hurry up.

Are you seated?
- Yes.

Get off, get off. Get off quickly!

Be careful!

Godspeed!

- Good shot Mahi!

- Hello, Mr. Paan Singh.

Hello. Hello.

Let's buy some bangles.
- Yes, sure.

Mom, mom.

Mom, listen.

Huh?

What?
- Mom...

Mom...

Can I buy that?

Lord Hanuman?
- No, the one next to that.

- Which God is that?

And that's a strange
crown he's wearing.

What will you do with that?

Mom, just buy that for me please.

Look, he's hung Sachin's
poster on the wall.

Why did you buy it?

What could I do?

I saw his expression and
I couldn't say no.

Don't think too much.

You know what happens to sportsmen,
don't you?

I know he likes to play, but...

all I want is for him to
study and get a decent job.

That's all? Will that make you happy?

Yes, it will.

What if Mahi isn't
happy with that?

What do you mean?

I watch him and kids his age.

My heart says that he is not going
to stop at these small milestones.

Just wait and watch.

- From Bus-stand end,
right arm over the wicket.

- And that's...that's a miss!

- That was a really good ball.

- Straight to the keeper's hand.

- It's getting really hard
for DAV school to score.

- Prashant Sharma is
a really good bowler.

- In the previous match he
took three wickets and got a hat-trick.

- Making things difficult
for DAV school.

- Let's see what DAV school's
strategy is going to be.

Come on. Come on!

The match is at an interesting point.

- DAV needs 12 runs to win,
with just 4 balls remaining...

- and 3 wickets in hand.

- And now the next ball.

- And that's out!

- He's clean bowled.

Seems like the match is
slipping out of DAV's hands.

- DAV needs 12 runs to win.

- There are three balls left...

- and I can see a new
player coming on the ground.

Careful.

- His name is Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

I know you won't listen.

Will you score if I give you the strike?
- I'll try.

Then I would rather try myself.

- It's going to be tough
for DAV school.

Prashant Sharma's bowling
from Khairali end.

- Prashant Sharma, gesturing for
a change in the fielding positions.

- Mahendra Singh Dhoni ready for
bowler Prashant Sharma.

- Bowling right hand over the wicket.

- And he's smashed that!

- The ball's soaring through the air!

. Go Mahi!

- Second ball from Prashant Sharma.

- The viewers are waiting.

- This is a golden opportunity
for DAV Shyamali.

- Two balls to go and 6 runs required.

- Prashant Sharma.

. Six!

YayYY!

- Hit towards the bus stand!

With that sixer, DAV has stolen the match
from under their nose.

- The sky's clear and it's
a good a day to play cricket.

- DAV Shyamali and Khairali's captains
are in the middle of the field...

- for the toss.

- Heads.

- And DAV Shyamali's won the toss...
- Bat.

And elected to bat first.

What do you think, Mr. Tiwari?

Right or wrong?

Mr. Shukla, let's see
how the match plays out.

Well said.

This is the batting order, follow it.
- Okay Banerjee sir.

Excuse me, sir.
- What?

My batting turn hasn't come
for the last 8 matches.

You'll get it today,
their bowling is really strong.

With your permission,
can I open today?

What?

Sir, Shabbir and
Anuj open every time.

Give me one chance too.
- Fine, we'll see in the next match.

Next match is with RPS.
- So?

What's the point in
scoring against a weak team?

They are both padded up and ready.

I'll talk to them, sir. Just a minute.

Hey, listen!

- Mr. Shukla...

- both teams
are really enthusiastic.

- Anything can happen in today's game.

- That's my prediction.
Let's see what happens.

Sir, Anuj is ready.

Can Shabbir and I open?

First tell me what you said to them.

- Banerjee sir!
- Yeah, coming.

Go.
- Thank you sir.

Listen.
- Yes sir?

Don't be in a hurry to return.
- Yes sir.

- Shabbir Hussain and
Mahendra Singh Dhoni...

will be opening for DAV Shyamali.

Play carefully.

Banerjee sir won't
give you a second chance.

I'll take the strike,
just don't get me run-out.

What?

- Mahendra Singh Dhoni

- usually comes in at No. 6...

- but is set to open today.

- What are your thoughts
on this Mr. Tiwari? Right or wrong?

- Let's see how the match plays out.

- First ball of the over.

- Pacing towards the
pitch and the first ball.

- And he's smashed it!

- Six runs!
- Brilliant!

Wait a minute, I know that boy!

He's a hard hitter, Mr. Shukla.

He hit two straight
sixes

and won the last
match for his team.

- He's really good!

How many viewers do you
see on the ground right now?

Roughly 15 - 16 people.

Why are you asking?

Mr. Shukla,
let this boy play for an hour.

- And you'll see a different
scenario altogether.

- That's superb!
- Beautiful shot!

- Six runs!

- Great shot!

Mahi's smashing the ball.
- What do you mean?

How many wickets did we lose?

He's opened the innings today.

Girish, look after the shop.

- Next bowler is ready...

- and he's bowled to Dhoni.

And Dhoni's hit that
hard for four runs!

- Awesome!

- Well done!

- What a player!

- Amazing, Dhoni! And that's a 50!

Amazing! You're playing really well.

Keep at it. Play carefully.

Good morning sir.
- Hello sir.

Ma'am, Mahi's smashing the ball!

- That's great!

- That calls for a holiday.

- Dhoni's batting is
spreading its magic.

- Children are flocking to the ground!

- Yes! YES, yes!

- That's great!
That's Dhoni's second century!

- Double century for him!

I'm proud of you.

Well done, Mahi!

He's unravelled the opposition!

- Hello
- Hello, please connect me to Mr. Somi.

- Please hold, I'll connect you.

Call for you.

Hello.
- Hello, Mr. Somi.

Param speaking from Ranchi.

Param, I gave you this
number only for emergencies.

This is an emergency.

Remember that boy, Dhoni?

I spoke to you about
sponsoring his cricket kit.

Yes, you keep calling
up regularly for him...

and I keep saying no.

What's his name? Dhoni.

Yes, that's him.

You know,
he scored 213 runs in 150 balls.

And in a single day.

His game is getting better day by day.

I just wanted to
give you this good news.

Okay, are you done?

Can I hang up now?
- Yes.

I'll call you again tomorrow
for the sponsorship.

- And I'm coming
to Jalandhar at month's end.

Goodbye.
- Don't come!

Hello, Param.

Lord.

How much?

And now for sports news.

India was eliminated from
the 1999 World Cup competition.

- While playing against New Zealand
at Trent bridge, India won the toss...

- and elected to bat first.

Ajay Jadeja made the highest
total of 76 runs on behalf of India.

India made 251 runs in 50 overs.

- The New Zealand team...

Come on Mahi, it's quite late.

Chotu, I don't think this
one's going to last for too long.

Why do you hit so hard? Use it gently.

I hit gently. It's you
who thinks I hit hard.

Girish, close the shop.

May I ride it?
- Here.

Chotu, the MRF bat which Sachin uses?

How much does that cost?

MRF only makes tires.

Sachin has been paid to
put the MRF sticker on his bat.

People pay good players...

to put their
stickers on their bats.

That's great.

And papa, everyone says
that Mahi plays really well.

And if he keeps playing like this...

someday he will
make it really big.

When do his exams begin?
- Day after tomorrow.

And you know,
his Under-19 trials are coming up too.

Just a second.

How are your studies coming along?
- Just fine.

Exams start day after tomorrow.

Will you pass?

That's what I want
to talk to you about.

The Office Leagues
begin day after tomorrow.

Trials begin at 11am every day.

But will you appear for your exams?

The exam starts at 8am.

If I finish my paper by 10:30...

and catch the
10:45 passenger train...

then I'll make it
to the ground on time.

Yeah.

Will you finish your
3 hour paper in 21/2 hours?

It's difficult, but I'll get through.

That must be Chittu with the notes.

I'll be back.

What?

Listen, listen!
- Don't worry so much.

Drink some water.
- I'll drink the water, but...

how will he finish his
3 hour paper in 21/2 hours?

Like I said...

let him do what he's doing.

Leave him be.

You worry too much.

"The path to travel runs ahead
of the feet."

"Let us ask for something else
as well from life."

"The path to travel runs ahead
of the feet."

"Let us ask for something else
as well from life."

"Why think where we have to go?"

"Go wherever your impatience takes you."

"These impatiences.."

"These impatiences.."

"These impatiences.."

"These impatiences.."

No, Param.

We never sponsor any
non-established player.

That's not our policy.

Sir, the boy's very special.

He just needs your support.

Exactly, it's not
possible to support him.

Goodbye.

You can support Pakistani players...

but not someone
from our own country.

No drama, no emotional drama,
understand.

Tell me something...

what's his name?
- Dhoni.

DhonL

ls Dhoni like Tendulkar?

No. Dhoni is Dhoni.

All that boy needs is an opportunity...

and someday
he'll make it really big.

And one day you will
remember what I said.

Okay, when are you going to Ranchi?

My train leaves tonight.

Fine, you go on.
I'll think about it...

and get back to
you in two days. Okay.

Then why don't I
stay back for two days.

I'm sure you'll think
of doing some good.

And you'll be doing
that poor boy a favor.

How do you benefit in all this?

Why are you advocating that boy,
what's his name?

DhonL
-Yeah,DhonL

What's your interest in all this?

I've a very big interest.

Even I loved cricket.

But had no talent.

But this boy's really talented.

If he makes it big someday then...

it will make me feel like
I played too.

"Clouds will bow down to your feet.."

"..as long as you remember."

"That your estate, your treasure.."

"Your desire and thirst."

"Why stop this caravan now?"

"Go wherever your impatience takes you."

"These impatiences.."

"These impatiences.."

"These impatiences.."

"These impatiences.."

Dhoni, 2 balls and 5 runs.

- Good shot!
- Yayw!

Hello, sir. You called me.
- Yes, Paan Singh. How are you?

Fine, sir.

I've heard a lot of
praise for Mahi's game.

Yes.

Don't worry about his career.
- Yes.

Cricket will shape his career.
- By the Grace of the Goddess.

He has great potential.

It shouldn't be wasted, that's all.

What stipend is the
Steel Authority giving Mahi?

Rs.625 monthly, sir...

and Rs. 25 for practice as well.

Will Mahi join Central Coal Fields?

I already had a word with them.

His stipend will be 1500.

Mahi's stipend will be higher...

than any new player's
till now.

It's a good team.

Mahi will benefit a lot.

With your support, he will.

If he gets a job and
then if he becomes permanent...

He's too young for that.

We'll see when the time's right.

You've been generous to so many,
if you consider him as well.

He's like my boy.

Of course I'll look after him.

Will the Steel Authority
guys let him quit?

I'll talk to them.

Let me know if they don't let him.

I'll make sure that they let him quit.

Get some sweets for everyone, come on.

Yes, yes of course.

- You're doing great.

Just keep bowling like that.

I'll stand here at mid-off.

- It's the last ball, come on.

- Come on, come on!

1 ball to go and 5 runs needed.

Bowl at his feet, okay?

His feet.

Come on. Bunty, forward.

Very good. Santosh. Great shot.

Santosh.
- Yeah.

Where did you learn to play that shot?

Liked it?

I call it the 'Slap-shot'.

Will you teach me?
- Will you buy fritters for me?

Of course.
- Then I'll teach you.

Then tomorrow...
- Nah“!

Mahi, your family's
been looking for you.

See you tomorrow.
- Okay.

Your father has been looking for you.

What happened?
- I don't know what happened.

He said "Paan Singh,
this is just the beginning".

I was really glad to hear that.

Quiet. Quiet.
- Yeah.

What happened?
- Hi.

YES, papa'

You were looking for me?
- Me?

Yes.
- No.

This...

arrived today, by courier.

Mom even gave 2 rupees
to the courier boy.

You know Mahi,
Deval sir called me today.

He's asked you to join Coal Fields.

1500 stipend.

And he was also saying that...

he'll make your job permanent.

It's a joyous day today.

I'll be right back, papa.

Mahi, Mahi, listen!

Where are you going?

Anything else?

That's all.
- 210 rupees.

What's wrong?
Why are you so serious?

The kit bag's arrived.

Are you insane?

This is just a kit bag.

Just focus on your game.

The Lord will take care of the rest.

And yes, I want a century
in the next match.

What are you doing?

You scared me.

It's beer, do you want a sip?

It gets you high.

Have you lost your mind?

Do you want to be
a cricketer or an addict?

Mahi, just a little doesn't matter.

This is your party, right.

Just let me have some fun.

Don't make me furious.

If I see you drinking again,
I won't talk to you.

Mahi, don't get angry!

Listen, Mahi!

- Welcome everyone to the
Keenan Stadium, Jamshedpur.

This is the final match
of the Cooch Behar Trophy...

between Bihar and Punjab.

- Bihar's captain Vikas
Kumar and Punjab's captain...

...the talented Yuvraj Singh,
standing...

...in the middle of the field for the toss.
- Heads.

- Batting.

- All the best!

- Bihar wins the toss
and elects to bat.

- What do you say, Mr. Shukla?

- Very good decision.

You can't give away wickets.

It's a four day match...

...and you guys must bat
for at least 2 1/2 days.

If you wish to play the Under-19
World Cup, then let me tell you...

there are two people here from
the all India junior selection committee.

The World Cup is next month.

The team will be announced
in a few days...

and this is your opportunity.

- Rattan Kumar and S.Vich
heading towards the field.

Bowled!

And he's bowled.

Catch it!

- Wonderful shot!

- There's a fielder under it.

- And that's a catch!

Come on!

- And that's out!

Dhoni, we must save our wickets.

Play carefully.

He doesn't know you too well yet.

The next batsman coming
up now is Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

- The entire responsibility
lies on Dhoni now.

- Let's see how he performs today.

Sodhi, catch it!

- Mahendra Singh Dhoni
had already judged the ball...

...and he hit that over
Yuvraj Singh's head.

- You can see Yuvraj staring him down.

- Dhoni's ready.

- Yuvraj's next ball...

...straight to the
wicket-keeper's gloves.

- Mahendra Singh Dhoni
couldn't judge the ball.

- Yuvraj staring directly
at Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

- Did you notice their
attitude towards each other?

- And that's a fitting reply!

- Catch it!

- And with that
Dhoni completes 50 runs.

- 50... Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Come on guys!

Throw! Throw! Throw!

- At the end of Day 1, Bihar's
score is 254 runs for 5 wickets.

- Mahendra Singh Dhoni has
scored a total of 70 runs, not out.

And Ratan Kumar is
playing at 77 not out.

What would you like to say,
Mr. Shukla?

Just make 200 runs more tomorrow...

then we'll see who can stop
you from playing for India Under-19.

You'll get selected,
you don't need to worry.

- What a player!

The weather is really cold.

The next ball of this over...

to Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

- The next ball.

- And he's hit that hard!

The ball's straight up in the air.

Sodhi, catch it!

- Sodhi's right under the ball.

- And that's out!

- Sodhi's taken a wonderful catch!

- Mahendra Singh Dhoni is out!

When did he return?
- This morning.

I see.

He didn't go home.
- Okay.

He came here and threw me out.
- Oh?

He's locked the door from the inside.

He always does this.

Open the door!

Won't you guys let me sleep?

What happened?
- What happened where?

What happened at the finals?

You're laughing.

Take a seat.

Chittu, get some water.

Will you tell me already?
- Take a seat, and I'll tell you.

Don't get so...

Here you go.

He'll tell us after drinking water.

So, on Day 2 I got out at 84 runs.

The entire team got out at 357 runs.

Now Punjab comes to bat.

They lose their first
wicket at 60 runs.

Then Yuvraj Singh comes to bat.

End of Day 2's score,
108 for 1 wicket.

Hurry up, tell me what happened next.

It's when I hurry that I mess up.
Let me tell you properly.

On Day 3, they lose only one wicket.

- End of Day 3's score
is 431 for 2 wickets.

- Yuvraj Singh hit a double century.

- He hit a lot.

Broke all records.

Last day, Day 4,
Punjab's total score was 839.

Yuvraj's individual score was 358.

One run more than Bihar team's
entire score.

We never got to play
the second innings.

Do you know where we
lost the match?

Where?

- Not on the cricket ground...

- but on the basketball
court at night.

What are you blabbering?

Any new movie playing?

Captain Mohammad Kaif.
R.S. Vicky. Manish Sharma. R.S. Sodhi.

Arjun Yadav. Yuvraj Singh.
Venu Gopal Rao. Neeraj Patel.

- Wicket-Keeper Ajay Ratra.
Kailash Shrivastav.

- Mrityunjay Tripathi.
Mehir Diwakar.

S. Vidhyut and Anup Dave.

There are three more players...

whose selection was debated upon.

- But they couldn't secure
a place on this team.

- Opening batsman Gautam Gambhir.

- Wicket-Keeper Amit Deshpande.

- And left-hand
spin-bowler Rakesh Dhruv.

They didn't even mention Mahi's name.

Chotu, come here.

12 fritters and 1 kg sweetmeats.

I'm telling you that
this is all a setup.

Why else would Mahi not be selected?

You fool...

Take this.

Bring all of it on a plate, it's hot.
- Okay.

What happened?
Why are you all so quiet?

Mahi...
- Mahi, your...

I didn't get selected, I know.

Look, this tournament
has made me realize...

what I did wasn't enough.

I must work harder.

So it's an important day for me today.

I'm giving this fritter
and sweetmeat party...

so I don't forget this day.

Will you guys start or should I leave?
- Mahi, listen.

Where are you going?

You didn't get cold drinks.

First eat this.

I think you didn't
get enough fritters.

Have some.

How much for the pomfret?

Rs. 80.
- That's too much.

Why do you haggle so much?

Just buy what you want.
- I have to.

I can't pay whatever they ask for.

Keshav. How are you?
- All good, Chanchal.

Are you enjoying yourself
- Yes, I am...

eni°Yil1g myself.

Tell him to hit harder this time.
- Tell who?

Dhoni, who else?

I want a better performance
at the Duleep Trophy this time.

Duleep Trophy?
- Don't you know?

No!

He's been selected from the East Zone.

It was published
in the newspaper today.

He has a match against Central
Zone day after, in Agartala.

Show him today's newspaper.

Give me the newspaper.
- Here.

There.

He doesn't know.

Hold this, hold this!
- What happened?

You go home,
something important has come up.

I'll be right back.

- Param!

Param!

Do you know Dhoni's been
selected for Duleep Trophy?

Come on.

What?

You've been selected
for Duleep Trophy.

The match is day after tomorrow.

But I didn't receive any letter.

It must be stuck at some association.

Didn't Deval sir inform you?
- No.

I've all the details.

You must report to Dum Dum
Airport at 9am tomorrow.

But how do I get to
Kolkata tomorrow morning?

We...
- Mahi, go talk to Deval sir.

He'll arrange something.

Sir has asked you to wait.

Gentlemen, let's take a break.

Yes sir.
- Right sir.

Give that to me.

Yes, Mahi.

Sir, I've been selected
for Duleep Trophy.

Really?

And the match is day
after tomorrow at Agartala...

and I have to report
tomorrow at Kolkata Airport.

What?
- Sir.

Wait here.

- Have you sent a letter for Mahi?

- But somebody should
have informed us.

- How can he report tomorrow?

- He will lose one big match.

- Such a big competition and
you guys are so irresponsible.

Sir...

The news is right.

I guess your letter's
stuck at Jamshedpur.

What do I do?

There's a flight tomorrow
from Kolkata at 9am.

Yes, sir.

You missed the chance.

Sir...
- Sir, should we try by road?

If we leave now, we'll reach by 9am.

Do you know the
condition of the roads?

Sir, we'll take turns to drive.

No, no, you can't make it.

Just arrange for a car
and we'll handle the rest.

Yes, sir.

The Accounts department is also shut.

You guys manage something on your own.

I'll reimburse your expenses later.

Okay?

Mahi, call me when you get there.

Why would we come
here if we had the money for a car?

What a man!

I think he didn't forward the letter.
- Will you be quiet?

How will we arrange
something at this late hour?

Let it be.
- What's the problem, Mahi?

We'll manage now.

And get it reimbursed later.

But how?
- Just go pack your bags.

We'll get the car.

Go on, come on.

Come on, go pack.

Do you guys have some money?

What?

You just said that you have money?

My intentions are right,
but I am short of money.

And Mahi must go.

We must do something.

Do you have anything?
- I may have something.

And you?
- I'll take a look.

I'll arrange for something as well.

Come on.

Let's meet at Deepak's
Garage at 12 o'clock tonight.

Okay.
- Come on. Hurry up.

Let's go, let's go.

Chittu, you're back home.

Chittu, you're going?
- Yeah, I'll be back soon.

We'll pay the rest after we come back.
- Come on, get in, get in.

- He's here!

Drive safely.
- Bye!

Get in.

Come on.

Bye Mahi, all the best!

Param, should I drive?

Mahi, wake up.

We've reached the airport.

Mahi, wake up.

We're here.

Quickly. Quickly.

We're here.

Mahi, we worked really hard.

Hit a century for us.

Mahi, won't stop,
he'll definitely hit it.

Of course he will.
He'll make a century.

What happened?
- The flight took-off half an hour ago.

Mahi...
- I'll be back in 2 minutes.

Mahi.

Good morning, sir.
- Morning.

You called, Sir?
- Come in, Satyaprakash.

Doesn't Mahendra Singh
Dhoni play with you?

Yes, sir.

He's my junior. But plays well.

Will he join Railways?

Will he become a ticket-collector?

Don't know, sir.

Heard of Bonda
Munda Railway Station?

Sir, I'm better off in Kharagpur.

Offer him a job on
behalf of the Railways.

- Mahi!

- Mahi!

Chittu.

- Mahi!

What happened?

Your papa's looking for you!

Come quickly!

What did you do this time?
- I did nothing.

Maybe that's why he's
looking for you.

Congratulation, son!
- Congratulation.

Congratulation, son!

Hi.

Your son will go very far.
- Yes.

Where were you?

Congratulations Mr. Paan Singh.

- The Railways has a Sports quota.

And Animesh sir loves cricket.

He's looking for a good wicket-keeper,
batsman for the South-Eastern Railways.

And he's had his eye
on Mahi for a long time.

Is his job as a TC confirmed?

Animesh sir will test Mahi.

If Mahi passes that,
his job's guaranteed.

He will pass the test.

- This is great news.

- His first posting
will be in Kharagpur itself.

After that we'll try
to relocate him to Ranchi.

And with everything included...

he'll get Rs.5000 in
hand on the 1st of every month.

Rs. 5000 salary!

With the Goddess's blessings,
Mahi will become a ticket-collector.

What more can one ask for?

Why don't you tell papa
if you don't want to go?

Did you see papa's face?

And he'll need money too.

Don't try to sound so responsible.

Tell me something.

Will I ever do anything with my life?

Why not?

Wait and watch, someday
you will be very successful, Mahi.

Satya was saying if
you do your job well

that you could
be the boss someday.

What happened?

Should I have said something else?

I will miss all of you.
- Me too.

Animesh sir bowls
personally to every player...

before selecting him for the team.

You just play well.

What does he normally bowl?
- Everything.

On his own?
- Yes.

Good morning sir.
- Good morning.

Dhoni, sir.
- Good morning, sir.

I've heard a lot about you.

Wear your pads.
- Yes, sir.

Is it too fast?

Should I bowl slower?
- No, sir. It's fine.

Try that again.

Catch it!

Dhoni, I'm going
to bowl a bouncer next.

Wear your helmet.

Sir, sir!

Listen.

Please get out or he
will keep bowling all day.

Your job depends on it.

I won't get out to get a job.

Good shot! Good shot!
- Good shot, Mahi.

Well played, good shot.

Sir...
- Your bat swings are really good.

But try to hit straight.

Play in the V, mid-off and mid-on.

And don't hit too
many over-the-heads.

Yes sir.

Practice every day
after your duty hours.

You practice as much as you work.

Can you do it?
- Yes, sir.

The railway trials
are in two months.

You must perform well.
- Yes, sir.

You can join duty next week.
- Thank you, sir.

Amazing.

Very good.

Are these the quarters?
- No, they're at the back.

That is Animesh sir's bungalow.

The one adjacent to the boundary wall.

He's made a cement pitch out there.

And we stay here so that

he can call us for
practice any time he wants.

Come.

Come in.

Can I keep this here?
- Yes.

There are two rooms here.
- Yes.

This one...

and this one.

Close that door.

If you don't close that door,
you can't open this one.

I see.

Come.

This is the bathroom...

and this is the kitchen.

There's tea,
sugar, vegetables, everything.

Every ingredient to cook a meal.

Great.

- Come.

And this is our garden.

- In the railways,
gardens are bigger than the rooms.

We have planted trees here.

Come.

Always keep this door closed.
- Yes.

Sometimes snakes crawl in.
- Through here?

Yes.

It's nice, quite big.

No, three other guys live here.
- Okay.

They have their day-shift,
they'll be here soon.

I told Mr. Das, don't try to teach me.

That was right, Deepak.

They are here.

How's everything?
- Just great.

Remember I told you about Mahi.
- Yes.

This is him.

Mahi, this is Robin.
- Hello.

Deepak, Jayesh.
- Hello.

He's too young,
how could they give him a job?

Play a match with him and you will know.
- Really.

Yeah!

But where will you sleep?
- Anywhere.

Doesn't matter.

Eat your meal and hit the sack early.
- Okay.

You should've seen how he whacked
Animesh sir's balls all over the ground.

He bowled a spinner
and he hit it for a six.

Fast ball, again six.

Six-Six-Six...

Where does Sarkar sir sit?
- There.

There?
- Yes, in the opposite room.

Just a second.

Good morning, sir.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni reporting, sir.

Come.
- Sir.

This is your table and chair.
- Sir.

Good morning, sir.
- Good morning, file this.

Okay sir.

Did you take your 'picking-up duty'?
- I did yesterday.

That's Das sir.
- Good morning, sir.

And that's Singh sir.
- Good morning, sir.

8013 UP will arrive on Platform No.1.

It was supposed to arrive at 8:30am...

but it's running late.

Find out the arrival time.
- Sir!

You will find Ghoshal
in the TC compartment.

Give him this paper and

keep whatever he gives you.
-Sir.

8029 DOWN will arrive
on Platform No.2 at 9:30am.

You will find Shukla.

Give Shukla this paper...

and then keep the
sheet that he gives you.

Go.
- Okay, sir.

8013 UP Platform No.1, Ghoshal.

8029 DOWN, No. 2, Shukla at 9.30am

Please, move!

Move aside!

- The train will now arrive
on Platform No. 3...

instead of Platform No. 1 at 9.30am.

- Your attention please.

- 8013 UP Steel Express...

- travelling from Tata to Howrah,
is running one hour later...

- than its expected time.

- This train will arrive
on Platform No.3...

- instead of Platform No.1 at 9:30am.

- Thank you.

Both will arrive at the same time.

- May I have your attention please...

...8013 UP Steel Express

- from Tata to Howrah,
is running late by one hour.

Please, move!

Please, move!

Sir, sir, Shukla sir.

What Shukla? I'm Abhijeet Ghoshal.

Here you go.

This is for 8029 DOWN.

Sir.
- Where do you want to go?

Sir, this one.

Just a minute.

Please hurry up,
the other train's leaving.

Stop yelling, let me do my work.
- Just a minute.

I'm giving it to you.

- Sir help me with my seat please.

- Sir check my ticket please.

Move please!

One second, one second.

Sir, both the trains
arrived at the same time.

I tried, but...
- How hard did you try?

Sir, I tried my best.
- Fine.

Train no. 465 is arriving.
- Sir.

Take the fine book and go to Gate No.3.
- Okay, sir.

All of them are repeat offenders.

Fine them heavily.

Okay sir.
- Now go.

How is Dhoni doing?

He missed a train on the first day.

And I already gave him the
Platform No. 3 experience.

He's your responsibility, Sarkar.
- Yes, sir.

He's a special case.
- No worries, sir.

But Mr. Das and Mr. Singh are
not taking his recruitment too well.

We'll see.

May I ask you something, sir?

Yes?

What's so special about him?

Do you still play cricket?

Sometimes, sir.

Play one match with him
and you will find out.

You're back, Mahi!
- Yes.

How was your first day?
- It was a Yorker.

Eat something, we have to go practice.

Throw at right side, right side.

Well done! Good!

Are you catching a ball or fish?

Throw it! Throw it!

Catch! Oh!

- Well taken!

Come on, fast.

- Very good!

- Very nice!

Please move.

Your ticket please! Ticket!

Come, Dilip.

Morning, sir.
- Good morning.

Sit.
- Thank you.

How are you?
- All well, sir.

Did you see yesterday's match?

I did, sir.

The boys have done us proud.

Kaif and Yuvraj were brilliant.

They were too good.

John is doing everything right.

Whether Sourav should have taken
off his jersey...

is still debatable.

Otherwise Indian Cricket
is in good hands.

We must think about
the future as well.

Of course. Of course.

Last year Makarand
Waingankar joined...

Karnataka State Cricket
Association as a consultant.

Makarand has achieved
some fantastic results

in getting new talents
from smaller districts.

Some really good
players are coming up...

who are outperforming
these state-level players.

BCCI would like to do the same thing.

We want to open TRDW...

which is the Talent
Research Development Wing.

And the focus will be on B-tier towns.

Sounds nice sir.

But this will only work when...

this body reports
directly to the Board.

If it goes through the
State Cricket Association...

Precisely.

TRDW will report directly
to the board and

the players will be sent directly
to the National Cricket Academy.

Board wants to appoint
you as the Chairman.

- What do you say?

Sir, I'll be honored.
- Good.

- Brijesh will assist you.

- Think about the structure.
- Sure.

- Let me call a meeting next week...

- and let's get this going.
- Sure, sir.

Sure.

- Keep that file on my table in the morning.
- Okay sir.

Dhoni. Why are you sitting here?

Good evening, sir.
- Good evening.

Just like that, sir.

Sit, sit.

Sit.

Sir, my roommates are out on duty.

So whether I sit in my room or here,
it's the same thing.

And what were you thinking?
- Nothing, sir.

Nothing important, just...

You should open up.

It lightens your heart.

I keep wondering what am I doing?

I'm a cricketer, but working
as a TC at Kharagpur station.

It's not that I think
the job is small.

But I don't know how I'll play ahead.

Only I know what's going
on in my life every day.

First I jog between
8013 UP and 8029 DOWN.

Then I stand at Gate
No.3 and collect fines.

Neither my game's improving...

nor am I getting any
opportunity to progress ahead.

Still playing 'Ranji'.

How long will this go on?

Sometimes I feel like quitting
everything and going back.

But then I think of papa.

Every night when
I return to my room...

I feel like I'm returning
to the pavilion after getting out.

You asked why I'm sitting here.

This is what I keep thinking
no matter where I sit.

Oh, God!
Were you thinking all that?

Sorry, sir, but I'm start
feeling depressed, sir.

Tell me something.

What do you do when
you get bowled a full toss?

Sir?

What do you do when
you get bowled a full toss?

I hit it.

And a juicy half-volley?

Drive.

If it's a good out-swinger?

Leave it.

If it's a good in-swinger?

Defend.

And when you get
an unplayable bouncer?

I duck.
- That's it.

That's life.

Imagine that all these are
bouncers and you need to duck.

Don't think too much.

You won't get the same ball each time.

You've to play on your
merit and stand your ground.

The scoreboard will keep moving.

Sir.

And don't worry too
much about your job.

As long as I'm here you can play

anywhere you want,
whenever you want.

I will take care of your attendance.

Don't worry.

Thank you, sir.

Sir, may I play the tennis tournament?

They play on 18 yards instead of 22.

But I think it will be good for me.

Yes, of course. Go play.

But everyone's saying
it will ruin my game.

Ruin your game?
- Yes, sir.

Which fool says that?
- Sir...

Your game hasn't improved
yet that it will get ruined.

Your plus point is that
you're a complete natural.

Understood?
- Sir.

Let's go.

Come on.

Don't be too serious for
absolutely no reason. Understand?

And why aren't you cutting your hair?

I'm thinking about letting it grow.

And you must work on
your spoken English.

Yes.

It will come in handy in the future.
- Yes, sir.

"All the paths are made of stone.
I don't care!"

"The face of my dreams is unclear.
I don't care!"

"My chest is full of
the emotional wounds."

"Now whatever happens,
I don't care!"

"My heart is going crazy,
my heart is doing whatever pleases it."

"There are many thunders,
my heart is turning into a lightning."

"it is searching for shelter in clouds,
my reslove has gone mad."

Just two more steps and
straight to the Indian Team.

Listen carefully, Mahi.

First see where the selectors are sitting.
- Okay.

And hit a six towards them.
- Okay.

Blow them away!

"I don't care! Yeah!"

Next.

Mishra, next.

- Where do they come from?

- Look at his hair.

Yes, Mahi. How was it?

I only got three balls for keeping
and one over for batting.

Why do they call if that's
all they want you to do?

Did they treat everyone like that?

No, I guess I was the special case.

"They are true or lie,
dreams are after all dreams."

"Keep all the stars with you,
all the firelights are mine."

"My heart does not pause even
though I try, my reslove has gone mad."

"The heartbeats are insistent.
Now I succeed or fail, I don't care."

"Yeah, I don't care."

"I don't care."

"I don't care."

- He hasn't come in to work again.
This can't go on!

I'm worried about Mahi.

He's going nowhere.

He quit everything
and ran away...

to Dhanbad to you for 6 months.

There was a huge ruckus in the office.

Mahi's game has reached
a completely different level.

Do you know,
he's hit 25-30 centuries in 6 months!

And when he's batting...

it feels like
he's venting his anger.

Exactly, he's so talented
sometimes I fear that

he'll do something
wrong out of frustration.

Let's go.

- Yes, everything's fine.

I tried explaining
things to him, but...

- Travelling all over
Bihar and Jharkhand.

Ask where I haven't played.

Well, I'm in a bad mood
nowadays so only play football.

- Okay, I'm hanging up now.

Talk to you later.

Bye.

How's everything, Mahi?

Hey...

This is exactly what
I was talking about.

I think he's gone crazy.

What happened?

The phone's not been
working since 15 days.

The line's dead.

The phone's dead?
- Yes.

Who was he talking to?

What will we do now?

The phone's actually dead.
- I know...

His family will say I took him
to Kharagpur and drove him insane.

I feel...

- Hey!

What?

What's this, Mahi?

What's all this?
- You got worried!

Go away!

Why are you hitting me?

- Shot pulled away for 4 by Tendulkar.
- Wow!

What a shot!

Catch UP!

That wasn't from the middle of the bat.
The ball is coming slow.

- Great.

- Wonderful, Sachin.

- Up in the air, Mcgrath underneath it!

- Oh no!

- India lose their first wicket...

Why did you have to play that shot?

What kind of a shot was that?

He should've asked you
before he played that shot.

We've lost the World Cup!
- Does anyone want tea?

- These guys will definitely lose it.

- Don't say that.

- Please don't say
such negative things.

- Be quiet and stop bothering me.

- Didn't Kaif, Mongia and Yuvraj
start at the same time as Mahi?

- Yes.

- All of them have
played the World Cup.

- I wonder what's going
to happen to Mahi.

- Can you speak a little softer?

No, sir.

I understand, sir.

Excuse me, sir.

I will definitely look into it.

Thank you sir. Bye.

You called.

A notice has been sent in your name.

Someone's complained about you.

About your attendance.

Sir, the bouncers don't
seem to stop coming.

I've been ducking for 3 years now.

And now this.

Look Mahi, the inquiry
is day after tomorrow at 10am.

Two officers are coming
down from the Head Office.

I have a suggestion.

- Before they can question you...

- you have your defence ready...

Did you understand?

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

- Dhoni! Dhoni! Dhoni! Dhoni!

- Dhoni! Dhoni! Dhoni! Dhoni!

Bless you.
When did you arrive?

In the evening.

All okay?
- Yes.

You've lost weight.
Have you been eating properly?

Yes, it's all okay.

I hope you will stay longer this time.

That's what I want
to talk to you about.

Yes, tell me.

I'm quitting my job with the Railways.

I cannot handle both.

I can either work or play cricket.

If I concentrate on cricket...

then the head
office sends a notice.

So I've decided to shift
my focus entirely on the game.

And then we'll see.

I just want to play cricket now.
- And...

when you grow old
and can't play anymore...

then how will you make ends meet?

You can't play cricket forever.

I will find another job, don't worry.

Since you've decided already,
then do what you want.

You don't have to tell me anything.

Papa, please don't say that.

If I get caught up with
this security of a daily job...

then I will never move up in life.

Just give me some time.

I just want to give it one last try.

If nothing concrete
happens in a year...

then I will do as you say.

You shouldn't have
quit your job, Mahi.

Papa...
- No, no.

- Welcome audience.

- East Zone Vs. Central Zone,
for the Deodhar Trophy.

- A very important
match is being played today.

- The 'Talent Research Development
Wing' officers are sitting right here.

- And they will keep an eye
out for talented players.

'Check where the
selectors are sitting.'

'And hit your six towards them.'

- And the first ball of the over.

Oh my God, that's a six!

. Six!!!

- Beautiful!

- And he's swung his bat again...

Yes, Prakash.

Yes, I've heard his name.

Really?

- And again...

- What a shot. Wonderful.

Who is that player?
- Good morning, sir.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Where is he from?
- Jharkhand.

He plays really well, sir.

He hits really big sixes.

He's batting really well.
- Absolutely, sir.

Very nice.

Dinesh Karthik, extremely talented.

Naman Ojha,
he's a safe wicket-keeper...

and an okay batsman.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni
and Deep Dasgupta.

Dhoni's performance in the
Deodhar Trophy was quite good.

He's a good batsman but his
keeping technique is very poor.

But Gopal, technique isn't everything.

If he's getting results
with his poor technique...

then I don't
see a problem in that.

Look sir, in my opinion...
- One second, one second...

Does he have poor technique
or is he an unconventional player?

There's a difference between the two.

- Mahi!

- You've been selected
in the India 'A' Team!

- You're in the Zimbabwe
and Kenya Tour!

' Yes!

Mahi, it's published in the papers.

Come on.

Didn't you hear Mahi?

Mahi!

We're giving him good
news and he isn't listening.

Let's go celebrate.

You guys go on,
I'll finish the game and join you.

He's unbelievable.

We're going to celebrate.
- Yes, let's go.

- Mam one more game'?
- One second.

I'll go now, it's time.

Bless you.

And keep calling.
- Okay.

Take care.

Take care and eat properly.

I'll call you.
- Yes, please.

We'll miss you. Take care.

Come on...
- All the best.

Come on, get on.

The train's leaving.

Take care, Mahi.

- Hit it out of the park!

Bye. Bye.
- Bye!

- Play well and take care, Mahi!

. Go Mahi!

- The Man of the Match and hands down...
- All the commentators... M.S. Dhoni!

- I'll request you to give away
the Man of the Match award.

- You seem to be in love
with this pitch.

Yes, definitely this is
a very good wicket to bat on.

Apart from first 10 overs.

After the shine is gone, I think

it's all for the games
that are played by the batsman.

- Here comes Mahi!

- There he is.
- Amazing!

- Come out fast!
- Hi!

Why is everyone here?

How are you, Mahi?

Bless you. How are you?
- Hi, Mahi.

Sir, sir, sir, one photograph.

One photo.

Sir, a bit to the left.

Smile please, sir.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

DhonL

Dinesh Karthik.

DhonL

Sourav?

- Let's try Dhoni.

Bye, goodnight.
- Goodnight.

- So India has gotten off to
a very slow start here.

- Now let's see how the
match progresses.

- They really need a partnership
at this point of time.

- Mahendra Singh Dhoni,
the debutant...

is coming in to bat.

- India are really under pressure...
- Mahi!

- ...at 180 for 5.

- Let's see what the boy from
Ranchi can do.

- He's an explosive
wicket-keeper - batsman.

- Mohammad Rafique continues to bowl.

- Chance of a run out!
He's got him!

- Mahendra Singh Dhoni!

- Why did he have to run?

What happened?

Kaif called for a run
and sent him back.

It's his fault. He got him out.

Chittu enough.

- Dhoni's just short of his crease.
This can be a turning point in the match.

What happened?

- Run out!

He's always so impatient!
Got out on the first ball.

How about some tea?

- Has to depart in his
first One Day International.

- And that must be
a huge disappointment...

...to the very, very young,
talented man.

- Tapash Baisya bowling right-arm
over, medium pace to Dhoni.

- ...Struggling with timing.
- No, no, no...

- It's not an easy track.
- ...wait, wait...

Careful.
- Ball not quite coming on to the bat.

Hit it.

- Beaten again outside the off stump.

What is this boy doing?

- The ball not really bouncing.
- Calm down.

Can't he be a bit patient?

- Taken at short mid- wicket.
Good sharp catch by Bangladesh.

- And they would feel that they've...

What's he doing?
- got their foot into the door...

- in this massive contest.

He only has one match now.

He won't get so many opportunities.
- It's okay.

I think that's a no-ball.
- Stop it, Chittu.

- Catch at mid-wicket...

How about some tea?

- And Dhoni is gone for 12
and India are 155 for 6.

- Now this has been an excellent
batting display from the Indians.

- What, what great stroke playing.

- Pitched up and Dhoni climbs onto it!

- That's huge! It's six!

- India 347 for 5.

- Yes.

Why does he keep hitting sixes?

How about some tea?

He was in great form today.

If he had played
at an earlier position...

...he would've definitely
scored a century.

Stop it, Chittu.

I wonder what's going to happen now.

He only made 19 runs in 3 matches.

I wonder if he'll get a chance
in the Pakistan Tour.

- India's run-rate has come down
a little bit in the last 5 overs.

- Dravid is set here.

- It's in the air!
Six...!

- And taken at deep mid-wicket.

You should start praying.

He should've played defensively.

Only 3.5 overs to go.

He was playing for
the team not himself.

- So Dhoni departs and a string
of low scores continues.

What are you doing?

And why doesn't he cut his hair?

I wonder how he'll stay in the team?

- Let's see where the
match goes from here.

Excuse me.
- Yes, ma'am.

Can you please get
me Sachin's autograph?

Please.

- Sorry ma'am,
the cricketers are very tired.

- And they have requested
to be left alone.

- I hope you understand.

Hi.
- Hi.

Are you with the cricket team?
- Yes.

Do you know Sachin?

Yes.

Can you please get me his autograph?
- No...

Please.
- No...

Please, Please, Please...

I'm his biggest fan.

But right now...
- Please!

What's your name?
- Priyanka.

Priyanka. Okay.

Please, Please, Please!
- Give it to me.

Thank you.

- I've worked out a way of getting it done.
- That's perfect then.

Sir, one autograph please.
- Sure.

She is a huge fan of yours.

- H“!

Priyanka.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What do you do?

I'm a keeper- batsman.

Oh?

In the Indian Team.

Sorry, I didn't know.
- Why are you sorry?

You don't know because I have not
done anything worth remembering it.

In four matches I have
0...12...7-not out and a 3.

I don't know whether I'll get a
chance to play the next match.

It's okay.

If you keep staring at me,
how will I sleep?

Sorry.

You know what.

You will get to play tomorrow...

and you will have a great match.

How come you're so sure?

Just one of those things.

All the best.

If it really happens
and if I want to thank you...

then how can I...

I mean...

So, madam?

Thank you.

Your name?

Watch it on TV tomorrow.

Yes, Santosh.
- How are you, Mahi?

Fine, but you've been drinking again.

No, Mahi, I swear, not at all.

Swear on me.

Let it be.

Santosh, I'm going to beat you up.

- You always...

Let's talk about cricket.

Why don't they move you up?

They were saying that...

they will try sending me at
no.3 in some game.

But I've no clue whether
I'm in tomorrow's match.

I'll call you later.

Hello.

- Dhoni, you're in the 11.
- Thanks, Dada.

- Good luck.

That's it.

Stop! Stop! Stop!

Mahi, take a look.

Chisel 50 grams more.

Okay-

Here, chisel off 50 grams more.

- Mahendra Singh Dhoni
promoted up the order.

- Looking to take the full Monty.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Why are you bathing since so long?
Come out.

- I don't want to see the match today.

- And drives roads through the off-side.
Finds the boundary!

Yaywy!

- That's beautifully timed,
through the off-side.

- He finds the fence again.

- And a half century...

- for Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

I've always been saying
that Mahi should be promoted.

Stop it, Chittu.

Yes!

Catch it, Naved!

Don't throw your wicket...

Well done.

It's outside the boundary.

Mister, give me a carom board.
- I don't have it.

There's one right besides you.

It got drenched in the
rain and the Wood's swollen up.

But it's all wrapped up.

Do you know better or do we?

Who's the shop-keeper?

Come back tomorrow.

What kind of a shop-keeper are you!

Please, please, please!

- There he goes...

- What happened?

Nothing, you continue.

- He pumps the air in delight.

- A first One Day International 100
for Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Bravo.

- And it's always a great feeling...

...getting your first ever 100...

- in One Day International cricket
for your country.

- And it's obvious that this
young man is thrilled to bits.

Later boy, later.

Sir. Mahi played very well.

Take some more, sir.

Hello, ma'am.

Give everyone, everyone.
- Mahi played really well.

Take some sweets.

Be “WW-

You too, ma'am.
- He played well, isn't it?

Hello, sir.

Mahi was amazing yesterday.

'You will get to play tomorrow...'

'... and you will have a great match.'

- Hello.
- Hello.

Pflyanka?
- Speaking.

Thanks.

- Hello.

Congratulations, Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

Thank you.

Everyone in India now knows your name.

Maybe someone's prayers worked.

Maybe?

Would you like to meet?

You will have to come to Delhi.
That's where I live.

I came to Vizag on official business.

I'm at the airport heading back home.

Oh...

By the way, if you change your mind...

then Delhi isn't too far.

Wouldn't have mattered
even if it was far.

See you soon.

I'll be waiting for your autograph.

Bye.

"This moment which is still.."

"..it's mine, it's yours."

"Let me live this moment a bit."

"Let me stay lost in you.
And you stay lost in me."

"We shall find ourselves
some other time."

"I keep meeting you,
you keep meeting you."

"We shall meet ourselves
some other time."

"Some other time."

"Why do I hum without any reason?"

"Why do I smile without any reason?"

"My eyelashes have started shining."

"How do I hide my dreams now?"

"Talk some senseless talks."

"Laugh so much that
your eyes get wet with tears."

"This delirium won't be there again."

"Let me stay lost in you.
And you stay lost in me."

"We shall find ourselves
some other time."

"I keep meeting you,
you keep meeting you."

"We shall meet ourselves
some other time."

Hair, hair.

One second.

Do I look at that one or that one?

On action?

Finolex pipes are...

I forgot my lines.

- Action!

The secret behind my active life.

Low fat cooking with
Nature Fresh Acti-Lite Oil.

Whether there's pressure
in the game or the water.

Finolex pipes are
unbreakable like me, always.

Conquer the World with
Sanjay Godawat Institutes.

Where will you be going from here?
- Ranchi.

And Pakistan?
- On 5th January.

For how long?

Until 20th February.

3 tests and 5 one-days.

Will you miss me?

No.

Why?

Missing you will distract me.

And you cannot afford
to have distraction...

when you're playing
for your country.

Why do you even meet me?

Because I like it.

Don't you like it?
- I do.

So.

In fact, I want to meet you every day.

Always be with you.

Priyanka, I just recently
started playing for India.

I need time.

What happened?

You look worried.

Why would I be worried?

I just don't want you to feel hurt.

Do you really like me that much?

It's not that.
- So you don't like me?

You're trapping me.

Mahi.

I think I really love you.

Don't worry, I don't need an answer.

Do you have Chittu's number?

My phone will be switched off.

So if you have any message,
give it to him.

I will call you back.

Mahi, are you sure?

We do have a lot of time right?

Of course.

- There you 9°!

- India win by 5 wickets!

- They take a 2-1 lead in the
series.

- I would first of all like
to congratulate the Indian team...

for playing exceptionally well.

And may I specially
congratulate Dhoni...

for being the architect
of the victory.

And may I, may I tell Dhoni that
I saw a placard asking you to...

have a haircut.

But if you were to take my opinion,
you look good in this haircut.

Don't have a haircut.

Okay!

What is this?
How do I switch this thing on?

Here you go.

Hello.

Papa, its Mahi.

Yes, Mahi.
You played really well today.

- Everyone was praising
your game today.

Did Musharraf say anything else?

No! Papa.

Are you happy?

Yes, I'm very happy-

I'm happy to be proven wrong.

Just keep playing well.

Make your country proud.

And don't let all
this go to your head.

Yes.

Hang up, go get some rest.

'This call could not be completed
due to insufficient balance.'

Hi, is there a PCO around?
- Yes, take the next left.

Thank you.

Dhoni sir.
- Yes.

Dhoni sir, you were amazing today.

I swear I really enjoyed it.
- Thank you.

You want to make a call.
- Yes.

Then do it from here.
- No, no, I want to make an ISD call.

Do it from here, no problem.
- It's okay, I'll manage.

Come on, this is unbelievable.

You can call from here,
I'll wait outside.

Sure?
- Yes, of course. Make the call.

Hello.

Were you waiting next to the phone?

I knew you would call today.

How does it feel, Mr. Mahendra?

How do you feel, madam?

Feels like I made you win the match.

Do you want anything from here?
- Win the Series.

Anything else?

Just come back soon.

Why are you whispering?

Because my family's having
dinner in the next room.

Oh!

Should I tell them about you?

Let's discuss this when I'm back.

You get so worried.

Well, I haven't even told
my best friend how much I love you.

Who is your best friend?

You.

Tomorrow is Valentine's Day Mahi.

What do I buy for you?

Buy a nice watch for me.

Something that's
affordable and durable.

Done.

What will you get for me?

I don't believe in Valentine's Day.

You...

Mahi.

Hmmm?

Mahi, are you sure we have time?
- Of course.

See you soon.

See you.

See you.

"You come in my heart,
when I take breath."

"I pass through the lanes of
your heart every day."

"You move like the wind,
I fly like sand."

"Who can love you the way I do?"

"The journey of my eyes
stops on reaching you."

"What else remains to say?
I have said all that I wanted to say."

"My eyes belong to your eyes,
what do you know, Oh unaware one."

"I read your eyes secretly."

"Who can love you the way I do?"

- That's pitched up!
Hammered over mid-on!

- India win by 8 wickets.

- And once again its that man
at the finishing line.

- Mahendra Singh Dhoni...

- quietly earning a name...

- of a finisher.

Hello, Mahi.
You were spectacular today.

It was really fun.

Great.

Did Priyanka call you?

No.

I've been trying to
call her since 3- 4 days.

But her phone's not reachable.

Did she give you
an alternate number?

Yes, I do have her friend's number.

Find out.
- Okay.

When are you coming to Ranchi?

Day after tomorrow.

Find out and let me know.
- Okay.

See you.

Mahi! Mahi! Mahi!

One second, just a second.

Here.

Let's go.

- Mahi...

Mahi, there's a horde
of media outside.

The car's parked at the back.

But my bag...
- We'll deal with that, let's go.

Move, move...

Move.

- Mahi!

- Mahi!

- Mahi!

Where's Chittu?
- He called.

He said he'll meet
you directly at home.

Give me your phone.

Yes.
- Mahi speaking.

I...
- Why aren't you answering my calls?

Well I was stuck and...

Did you find out?
- Yes... no...

I mean, I'll tell you when we meet.

What's wrong, Chittu?

Priyanka met with
an accident on the 14th.

Please stop the car.

What's wrong, Mahi?

Please stop for a minute.

There's something I need to do,
you guys go ahead.

- What... I mean... we'll wait.

- How will you get back home?
- I'm telling you.

'Mahi are you sure?'

'We do have a lot of time?'

- India beaten by Bangladesh
by 5 wickets.

- The faces say it all.

Mahi!

Good morning, sir.

How are you, sir?

Watching your success makes me proud.

It's all thanks to
people like you, sir.

There's something I have wanted
to tell you for a long time now.

Yes, sir?

Mahi it's not like
I didn't want to...

or couldn't send you
to Kolkata that day.

But since I was busy
with meetings...

I didn't realize that you...

Don't hold that against me.

Don't think like that, sir.

Keep the success going.

And don't get complacent.
- Yes.

You still have a long way to go.
- Yes.

And aggression suits you.

Don't try to play defensive.

Bless you.
- Thank you, sir.

- What a setting...

- for the first World T- 20 Final!

- We are in Johannesburg...

and at 'the Bullring'

- one of the great stadiums
in World cricket.

- 13 needed from 6.

- That's a huge wide!

- Misbah goes big!

- It's huge, it's six!

- Just six needed now for Pakistan!

- And M.S. Dhoni walking up to his
bowler to have a chat.

Sree!

- It's up in the air... Sreesanth...

- takes it!

- India have beaten Pakistan...

- to win the World T - 20 title!

- The celebrations begin!

Dhoni! Dhoni!

- It's a young Indian team that
lifts the T- 20 World Cup...

- with all the big boys resting.

Now he's going to wreak havoc.

Yes.

- Mahi, time for the tale-conference.

Sure.

Hi, M.S.
- Hi, sirs.

Hi.

Hi.

So, as you know today's agenda is to...
- Excuse me, sir.

Before we start this
discussion can I say something?

Yeah, sure.

Sir, if we want to win...

we must take some tough calls.

I'm taking a tough
call today as a captain...

and I want you sirs to
take an important call as selectors...

who want the betterment
of Indian cricket.

What's the matter, M.S.?

Sir, three players
no longer fit the ODI team.

They are very slow as fielders sir...

and the format needs fitter players.

Age is not the issue, sir, fitness is.

But M.S., they are still
very good as batsmen.

No doubt, sir.

But due to their fielding, we never
succeed in choking the opposition.

The result is they
keep rotating the strike...

and we can't build pressure on them.

- And here in Australia,
the grounds are bigger.

This also has an adverse
effect on the other team members.

It reduces their morale.

I'm a sportsman myself, I can
understand they don't want to give up...

but, the fact of the matter is
we just can't have them in the team.

- Sir, a bowler will take wickets...

a good batsman will
make runs in some matches.

But a good fielder will
save runs for you in every match.

We've just lost the test series, M.S.

You think we can turn
it around in One Days?

Sir, I can't promise you that sir.

But this will definitely
start a process.

And I think we should also
be looking at 2011 World Cup.

The sooner we make a core team,
the better chances we'll have.

But M.S., the World Cup
is three years later.

Sir, only three years
for the World Cup.

We have to let these three go.

- At least for this tour
and then decide.

This will have
large scale implications.

And he is a huge servant
of Indian Cricket.

Precisely sir, we're all servants...

and we're all doing national duty.

- I know they will feel bad.

The media is going to burn us.

People will feel bad.

But if we're right and if
we achieve results in the future...

then people will understand
why we did what we did.

I think sir, more than
players we need characters.

Characters who want
to express themselves.

Characters who are desperate.

If we invest in the youth today...

only then can we expect
results in the future.

M.S., we'll reconnect
with you in 10 minutes.

Right.

Sure, sir.

He's pretty new to this game.

He'll understand when it's his time.

How I see it is that he
has got results in T-20 World Cup.

He's eyeing One Day World Cup.

- That's mis-timed... in the air
and Chawla takes it!

- India win the
Commonwealth Bank Series!

- They've beaten Australia...

by 10 runs.

Orient fan's air reaches every corner.

Switch to smart.

Lava, never lets you down.

For instant pickup I use
Gulf Pride 4T Plus Bike Engine Oil.

Whether the fight's on the
field or against pimples on the face.

I will always win with
Garnier Men face-wash.

Whether it's cricket or insurance.

A long relationship
is all about trust.

Exide Life Insurance.

Yeah.

- M.S., these guys have arrived.
- Coming.

Excuse me.
- Yes, sir.

I think I've misplaced my keycard.
- No problem, sir.

Please follow me.

This way, please.

Please, sir.

Sir, could you help
me with your name please.

Sorry.
- Sir, your name.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni.

. Okay.

Sir, your room number?
- 601.

Right.

Could I have some ID please?

I don't have any ID.

Actually it's in my room
and I've locked myself out.

Sorry sir, I need to see some ID.

Sakshi, right?
- Yes, sir.

Sakshi, tell me one thing.

Why will I pretend
to be Mahendra Singh Dhoni?

I don't know, sir. It's...

Actually,
lam interning with this hotel...

and this is what we've
been instructed to do.

Okay Sakshi,
why don't we do one thing?

You take my key-card,
we'll go to my room.

And then I'll show you my ID,
will that be okay?

Yeah...

Sanjay sir, could I do that?
- Yes, please.

See, we can.
- Sure, sir. Please.

This way.

Just a second.

Thank you, sir.
- Okay.

Have a good day, sir.
- Thank you.

Thank you.
- You too.

There she is.

What happened, GUYS?

Sakshi, you really
don't know who it is?

I'm so sorry, sir.
I didn't recognize you.

Thank you. It's okay.

Actually I don't like cricket so I'm...

I'm so sorry,
I didn't mean it like that.

I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to...

Can I have your autograph?
- I'm sorry?

Just a second.

Damn!

Autograph?

You were doing your job.

You really didn't care about anything.

It's rare.

Can I have your autograph?
- But sir, I...

It's okay.
- That's so embarrassing.

How can I...
- Go for it.

Okay-

Have a good day, sir.
- I'm having one, Sakshi.

Sir, thank you.

- Does Dhoni not want
to play with Viru?

- Do the two have personal differences?

- Are Viru and Dhoni fighting?

- Is Mahi angry with Viru?

- Why has Mahi removed Viru
from the One Day team?

- Is this the reason for the
divide in Team India?

Alright, leadership skills
in hospitality do demand...

understanding of the open
communication model by JoHari Window.

- It was evolved by two people,
Joseph and Harry.

- Now the first...

- with themselves and others,
which was created by...

- psychologists Joseph
Luft and Harrington lngham.

Hello.

Hi Sakshi, Mahendra
Singh Dhoni speaking.

Hi.

Well, I'm coming to Kolkata,
day after tomorrow.

But I'm in my college in Aurangabad.

Oh...

Aurangabad isn't really that far.

'If you make up your mind...

then Delhi isn't too far Mahendra.'

Hello.
- Okay, bye.

Hello.
- Where are you?

It's 4am. I'm in my hostel, obviously.

You said Aurangabad isn't too far.

But I had to go through
hell to get here.

You're in Aurangabad?

I'm staying in hotel Rama,
Room no.304.

I'm here for just 2 days.

Do come meet me if you're in the mood.

Bye.

Ritu. Ritu.

Ritu, listen.
- What?

Do you know Mahendra Singh Dhoni?

Yes.

He's really hot.

Would you like to meet him?

I just met him day before yesterday.

He kissed me on my cheeks.

Things were getting interesting
when the alarm started ringing.

Here you go.

Welcome, Ma'am.
- Welcome.

Who are we going to meet?
- Come on.

You're creating such suspense.

Sakshi, you better tell
me where we are going!

Just wait na.

Ritu! Ritu! Ritu! Ritu! Sorry, sorry...

Please wait.

See 315 is here.

304 must be here only somewhere.
- Okay.

Hello.
- Hi.

Come in.

Just a moment, huh.
- Sure.

Mahendra Singh...
- Ritu, shut up, shut up.

Please.

That's Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
- Just chill.

- I knew you would bring
a friend along.

Yes, this is my friend Ritu.

- Hi, Ritu!

Say hi.

Hi.

He's so cute.

- Take me sight-seeing.

If people see you,
it will create a huge ruckus.

Keep quiet!

No one will recognize me.

Come.
- Let's go.

Let's go.

"Until I burn completely in your flame."

"Until I walk to the moon with you."

"Remain close to me.
Don't say a word about leaving."

"Be with me.
Don't say a word about leaving."

"Until I burn completely in your flame."

"Until I walk to the moon with you."

"Remain close to me.
Don't say a word about leaving."

"Be with me.
Don't say a word about leaving."

What happened?

Nothing.

What next?

What do you mean?

I mean, you come to
meet me in Aurangabad.

Hmmm.

I come to meet you in Mumbai.

Hmmm.

What happens next?

Next... I'll drop you to Aurangabad.

"What decorates you,
what makes you beautiful."

"What should I gift you that."

"All these lines of fate of my hand."

"I want to make you wear."

"Until my eyes completely
drink your face."

"Until I live and die in your tune."

"Remain close to me.
Don't say a word about leaving."

"Be with me.
Don't say a word about leaving."

Ma'am, since when do you know Dhoni?

- We saw you arriving with Dhoni.

- What relationship do you
and Dhoni share?

- Sakshi, do you love Dhoni?

Move! Move!

Listen to me, move a side.

Sakshi, okay?

Don't worry, let's go.

Come.

Excuse me.

Good afternoon.

Mr. Satyaprakash?
- Yes.

Sir, this way please.

This way.

- Yes, sir.

No, I understand sir.

Just a second, sir.

No, sir.

Sir, the entire team-selection
discussion gets leaked to the media.

I only express my point of view...

and next day
in the media they say...

"Dhoni didn't want
that particular player.'

Sir, one of our own selectors
is leaking the news to the media.

You tell me, sir.
How is my team supposed to trust me?

A captain is only as good as the team.

And secondly sir,
if you can't give me my team...

then I don't want
the captaincy either.

Sir, I've no interest
in the captaincy...

because I can't be a puppet.

Thanks, sir.

How are you, Satya?

I won't be fooled again.

There was no one on the call, right?

You were only pretending.

You're right, you caught me.
- I knew it.

You now speak such good English, Mahi.

You've become a big man.

What big?

When you play,
millions of people hold their breath.

Because of you.

Forget that.
How is everyone in Kharagpur?

All okay.

I came over because
I wanted to see you.

You did the right thing.

See you.

I'm a nobody and
you must be a busy man.

I'll make some tea for us.
- No, no. I'll leave now.

Okay, see you.

Can I say something?
- Of course.

That lady who showed me the way here.
- Yes?

She was wearing very short clothes.

I'll do something about it.

Bless you.

- Hello.
- How are you? All okay?

All well? You?
- Fine.

Well, my second test
starts tomorrow...

so my phone will be switched off.

Mahi, mom was asking about you.

What did you say?

What I always say, that we're friends.

There's nothing wrong
with that, Sakshi.

Are we just friends, Mahi?

Mahi, I like you.

I trust you, but the stupid news...

makes me really upset.

I get hurt.

And I think I love you
and that's why I get hurt.

So avoid everything like I do.

I'm not like you, Mahi.

My world is different from yours.
It's much smaller.

I just don't know
what you're thinking.

I don't know how important I'm to you.

Well, at least you know
you're important to me.

Sometimes it's better to say it, Mahi.

SakshL"

Look at me,
you have a game tomorrow...

and there I go again.

Well, tomorrow is Valentine's Day.

- What should I buy for you?

'Tomorrow is Valentine's Day, Mahi.'

'What should I buy for you?'

I don't believe
in Valentine's Day.

Of course.

Have a good match, Mahi.

Yes, Mahi.

Sakshi, my world
isn't bigger than yours.

In fact, it's as only
as big as a cricket kit bag.

So you'll have to endure all this.

So think before you answer.

Will you marry me?

Are you sure, Mahi?

As sure as I'm of getting a century
in the next match.

Will you marry me, Sakshi?

Yes, Mahi!

Yes.

"Until I fill you completely with love."

"Until I read you
a hundred times like prayers."

"Remain close to me.
Don't say a word about leaving."

"Be with me.
Don't say a word about leaving."

"You have come in my arms.."

"..taking a hundred mornings."

"You have been brought down
from the clouds.."

"..for me, just for me."

"Until my fingers say something
to your hair."

"Until my wishes flow a bit
in your waves."

"Remain close to me.
Don't say a word about leaving."

"Be with me.
Don't say a word about leaving."
