Do you want to see a shrink?

What characters

You looked so beautiful with Shah Rukh, in the garden.

AS for that pink dress you wore...

...every dress looks great on you as if they were made for you alone.

How I wished I could sit with you.

But not every wish is fulfilled, right?

I can dream of you, however. Can't I?

My dreams... only for you.

Who�s that?

Have you been taiking to the walls, brother?

Can�t you see? I�ve been talking to Mallika.

Oh, yes. She does need a shoulder to cry on.

Poor girl Her film has flopped

-Who told you that? - Everyone�s saying it.

How did you feel when the audience walked out, half way through?

No one budged till the very end

How would they? They were Stunned they were watching such a flop

Don�t say anything about the film it's going to be a super-hit

The moment Mallika makes an entry... - They hurl eggs and tomatoes

Don�t you say another word about the film I�ve heard enough

I will a thousand times, too it's a rotten, flop film

Damn you...

Why�s papa still awake?

I don�t know. But he sent for you.

The film that flopped...

What�s this?

I�m glad you know that.

What does it say?

What marks?

- History... - How much have you Scored?

- 25. - Philosophy?

- 19. - Logic?

Go on. Read the mark-Sheet

- 22 marks. - Economics?

In economics and psychology you score just one mark each

Do you intend to be one of those broke poets who waste precious paper?

Is that what you want to achieve in life?

A regular loafer you're getting to be

You�re always at the cinema theatre. All the bloody white

They make films and sell dreams, because it�s their profession.

They make money in millions and enjoy all luxuries.

But its only fools who buy those dreams.

And you�re the biggest one of them all

You�ll henceforth go to the college and return Straight home. Okay?

I�ve been screaming... couldn�t you hear me?

-Well? What�s wrong? - Nothing.

Of course there is. You wear long face. What is it?

Dad gave me a dressing downs early in the morning.

I called your place yesterday . Where were you?

I went to see Mallika's new film.

- I even called in the afternoon. - I was there even then.

I saw all the four shows yesterday.

How�s the film?

- I was told it has a weird story. - Really?

You should know you saw it in four shows, didn�t you?

Yes, but who�s interested in the story? I only watched Mallika.

Whenever I see Mallika, I feel as if...

The skies ask the Almighty...

Why have you created two Moons?

The one in the skies has a blemish the one I have, is spotless...

It attracts ail eyes

She�s the one, my woman... whom even the Moon envies

And God told the skies...

I regret having sent her away to the Earth

My woman... even the moon is jealous of her

The flowers envy her

For it�s her fragrance that entrances everyone

Even when she is at a distance...

The winds announce her arrival

Seven colors there are in the world...

And none ever knew where the eighth one was

See her and you wiii understand...

Why colors often attempt to look alike

Well? Have you had a fight with him again?

You need time to fight, Nikki.

But your brother has time for no one except Mallika.

What he did today was the limit He sang a whole song for Mallika

It isn�t my brother who�s mad. You�re the one who�s a nut

You can rave and rant before me. So why don�t you shout at him?

But why will you do it? No, you won�t. I know that.

- Because you're a coward -A coward I ?

- I�m a coward, eh? -Yes. of the first order

All right. Now wait...

So go and say I love you to him. Well? I know, you can�t.

I�ll practice it.

Love, at first sight...

- I've said it -Yes you have

I can�t bear this distance between us anymore, Mallika.

It is said that when one truly wants something...

...even the impossible turns possible.

I can�t say how much truth there is in this belief.

But I know, nothing is more true than my desire to meet you.

Come to me, Mallika... Just once. Please.

Who is it?

You�ve been speaking to Mallika again

- Nikki know what? -What?

- Mallika was here - Mallika who?

Who else? My Mallika, of course

She stepped out of the poster

Sit down. I'll explain.

I sat there on the bed, talking to her. Like this...

Come to me, Maiiika. Just once.

Know what? She stepped out of the poster...

...took me by my hand and dragged me into the poster

She was so beautiful I just kept gaping

And she started dancing... like this.

I danced with her, too

And you had to arrive and screw up the whole scene

Don�t do it again, okay?

- Brothers� gone mad. -What?

- He was dancing with Mallika. -Who�s that?

- The film-star... - Dancing with the film-star?

-Are you out of your mind? - That�s what he told me

That Mallika stepped out of the poster, danced with him...

...and disappeared into the poster again.

-Where are you? - Here, Papa.

What�s this I�m hearing? you�ve been dancing with Mallika?

Answer me don�t look at her

Were you or were you not dancing with Mallika?

-What�s wrong? -Wrong? This boy's gone mad

We made a mistake by ignoring his madness

I don�t want a single poster of Mallika in this house anymore

- No, Papa... don�t - Out Of my way

-What harm has She done to you? -She has driven you crazy

- This is my room - But this is my house

You will do just as I say

-What are you doing, papa? - I�m going to tear them up

You can�t do anything about this I'm sick of this nonsense

-Shall we go? - C�mon.

I meant your rickshaw, mister. Will you take me?

I�m not drying myself in this heat, am I?

The ride will cost you 1O bucks extra for the luggage.

But I have no luggage.

- Have you arrived from out of town? -Yes.

- Have you run away from home? - No. But I've left home.

Something to do with a girl?

- Tell me. Is it a girl? -Yes.

What�s the name?

Well... Sit down.

-Where do you want to go? - Mallika's house.

-Where�s her house? - Don�t you know where?

She�s your girlfriend... how�d I know?

What? That film- heroine? The film-star Mallika... eh?

Get down. Take a train and go back home. Go on

Why? What�s wrong?

There are thousands like you in this city.

They all want to see some star or the other.

If they are lucky, they get to see the star's hair or her dress.

You�ll have to ply a rickshaw like me. So go home.

-Why ply a rickshaw? -What do I tell you?

I used to live in Nashik when i Saw Sridevis Himmatwaia.

I was so smitten that I gave up my studies and left for Hyderabad.

After spending a month there, I got to know she lived in Madras.

I went to Madras and got to know she was shooting in Mumbai.

- I somehow managed to reach Mumbai. -And then?

I used to make the rounds of her bungalow and the studios.

I sometimes got to see an arm, or a foot or her hair.

And when I got to see her really, there was Boney Kapoor. With her

The shock that it was

You can drive a rickshaw, I hope?

-What for? -You�ll have to drive it

- Or you'd rather goes back home. - But I only want to see her. Once.

See her? Even after I told you my one-story?

- I want to see her just once. -Will you return then?

All right.

Here we are. That�s your girlfriend's house.

Where do you think you�re going?

- is this Mallika's house? -Yes. So?

- Can I meet her? - Oh, welcome

You�re the one she's been waiting for

Mallika's no Taj Mahai you come to gaze at. Get lost

- I�m a fan of hers. -She has many already. Go away

-Just once, uncle. Please... - uncle? Do I look So old?

Get the hell out of here Go on

What are you staring at? Beat it

You�ve run out of steam, haven�t you?

Look at the kid's face... he looks So gum

You called him uncle, didn�t you?

Here�s another guy wanting to play bodyguard to Mallika

Really? Well, Rabbit... what�s your name?

That does sound like a rabbit

-Which place are you from? - Poona.

I'm from Poona too Where do you live in Pune?

-Shaniwarpeth. - Really? Which lane?

- Pandurang Lane. - He grew up playing there

-Where exactly in Pandurang Lane? - There�s this temple...

I stay behind the Lord Hanuman temple.

-What�s the house number? - 2O3.

That�s where I live

You don�t have a mole on the hand .Nor do I

Don�t watch, you idiot... Embrace me

Fate has played a cruel game with us but it unites us today

Are you guys watching a dance there? Go and get that bread

And you... what nonsense are you talking?

This chap is here to meet Mallika we've been just chatting him up.

Here to meet Mallika, eh? Come here

Want to See Mallika, eh? Could you see her then?

No? Weren�t you pushed around?

And don�t say you ran away from home ...that�s true, eh?

Idiot you watch a woman on screen and come to Mumbai for her

Where will you live in Mumbai? Do you have a friend? A relative?

No. But you are here

Have you eaten? No. I can see that on your face.

- Tapan Get some bread and butter. - I don�t have the money.

Good you don�t even have the money

Did I ask you for it? Now come and eat.

- No... I don�t eat without paying. - Don�t you really?

You�re broke... but you haven't given up your pride

- Come and eat. - it�s okay. I must leave.

Even pride doesn�t last without food. So come and eat.

- I could work, if you wish. - Really? What work can you do?

Well... I don�t know anything. But I can try.

- Try, eh? -Yes.

Will you do something for me, son? ... please don�t do anything

Can�t go to sleep, isn�t it? Because I scolded you?

No? But please don�t work I stand to lose, you see.

You must get a feel of things before you start working.

Know the Taj Mahal hotel?

It doesn�t belong to me. But it could have.

I was once a famous man in this city.

You wouldn�t know what a success I was in the city.

When I set out in the streets,...

...those in Mercedes cars used to halt, to salute me

Usman exports usman garments usman builders... I owned it all

My destiny then took a u-turn.

My estates and properties... everything vanished.

Farida too...

My wife she went away.

I was left with her hairpin that too, in the shape of a u

So I named the eatery u-turn. Because, life itself is a u-turn.

Get that? You never know when life will take that crucial turn

Now go to sleep. You must wake up at 5.

You�ve got to clean up, you see.

Great eatery I own I have more employees than customers

When things are bad... everyone avoids you

No, he helps you, my boy

When good days are upon you, they'll all return...

they'll play your side-kick, my boy

He�s right He's absolutely right

Listen we�ve got to deliver a pizza. Who'll attend to it?

Whose place?

it�s Mallika's house.

Come here.

Will you go?

Shut up iii go instead

Never stretch a joke too far... So who'll go there?

He will

Go on, I say don�t worry. Go

Get lost will you go or should I..

He�s delivering a pizza, Ram Singh Let him go.

Get to work

-What do you want? - I...the pizza...

-You? The pizza? - I mean...

You had placed an order for a pizza.

I�ll have the money sent.

What is it?

What happened?

You rather not ask me what happened...

How I caught a glimpse of her

My dreams came true. She said she belonged to me

How did it happen?

I took the pizza She had ordered, into the bungalow

I rang the bell and the obvious happened

The scent of my love brought her to the door

Our eyes met She appeared to be shying

Our hearts were pounding away

So what happened then?

Don�t get stuck like a bad LP record

That�s your problem. You have us waiting at an interesting turn

You know how happy we are so tell us what happened

She got a call on the cellular but she didn't take it

She took the receiver off the hook

I was conscious, yet so nerous I was so full of spirits

I said I am a lover I'm madly in love with you

I held her hand and poured my heart out to her

What happened then?

This is amazing

You have it made

- In this treasure Five... - Hang on

Did she say Something

She looked into my eyes and Said...

I now belong to you I've given you my heart

I care not for the world You're my Romeo I�m your Juliet

I won�t even ask who you are

In you, I�ve found everything I will love you all my life

She then asked me to embrace her

This is enough... please

Stop fibbing now... you�ve been caught

We pray to God, however... that your dreams come true

This dream will never come true.

She�s such a big film-star. And I�m such an ordinary man.

This dream will always remain a dream.

Suppose you really have Mallika for yourself, kittu...

What will you do?

What will you do? Speak up

- Nothing... - Don�t be shy speak up

- I'll talk to her... - Only talk? What will you Say?

-What will you say? - I don�t know.

- Don�t you know what you'll say? - Tell us.

I�ll talk to her about my heart.

- I�m in love, Mom -Shut up

You�re bringing violence into a love-sequence

When a horse runs a race...

...it�s carefree

Get that? No? Get hold of my waist

I awaken on a dirty table. it has filth and litter

The files and cockroaches are all asleep, having had their fill

I then Spray beer on it... and give it a wham

The table is cleared The stale rice vanishes

There are no more files... and that's the thrill

Sure. I get it

I�ll expiain. it means...

He called last night, when I was dining with Kajol.

He was requesting me to carry an interview.

And Salman has been chasing me for the last four months too.

For the cover-page... they all need it, you know.

I can�t shoot everyone, you see.

What film are you shooting?

I live in your heart and start loving you

Tell me something, Mallika.

With your last hit, you�ve hiked your price exorbitantly. Right?

- My uncle handles all that. -What role'd you play in this film?

My uncle handles that too.

I met another heroine today. I won�t name her.

To every question, she said, ask my mom

I wonder when these uncles and moms will stop dominating things

- Get me a cup of coffee. - This is my uncle.

Get up.

Do you have an appointment?

Uncle... he just...

I�ve told you so often not to say anything without asking me.

They'll publish something nasty and ruin your image...

...and iii have to do the running around. okay?

- Never do this again. -All right.

The directors called pack-up. so go home directly.

Be ready. There�s a function at the Oberoi at 1O.3O.

You�re home, dear? Give me that.

I�ll take it, kaka. It�s okay.

So you�re here

-Which one? - I don�t know which one.

But I was looking at you. Gawd what awful make-up

It was as if you had rubbed chalk all over your face

And you looked so tired doing those steps

at this rate, you will sit at home, twiddling your thumbs

So concentrate on your work, okay?

I�m sick of these servants, mom They aren�t even giving me at Owel

That thing on your head, Rambha... it�s a costume from my film.

So ask your producer to have another one made

Stars get producers to buy clothes for their whole families

And you throw a fit, just because Rambha touches your costume

Keep those starry tantrums for your sets not here

The function tonight wiii begin at 11.3O.

- The Minister�s busy. - That�s very irate.

I have a Shoot at 7 tomorrow morning, aunt.

So? Are the rest of them nobodies that we cancel the function?

Do you think you�re a star because you've done a couple of films?

The bloody Snob

They�ll rot... they have no compassion at all

You slog through out the day and they behave...

As if they're running the household.

- Don�t say that, kaka. -Why mustn�t I?

I can�t help it. But I can at least give vent to my anger.

And you can�t even do that.

I�m glad your mother is no more.

I wonder what she'd go through to see you being treated like this.

Keep the car ready. We�ve got to leave for the function.

You look beautiful today and my little doll...

What�s wrong?

Will someone tell me?

Your niece has sprouted wings She thinks she�s a super-star

What has she done?

She yelled at me for touching her frock, Papa.

When I told her that the function would begin a bit late...

-She flatly refused to attend it - Really?

Looks like I�ve given her more freedom than necessary.

Have you refused to attend the function?

No, uncle. All I said was that...

The function would begin late and I have an early morning shoot.

Do you think acting and dancing before the camera is everything?

There are other things that need to be taken care of too.

The Minister, the customs officer, the income Tax Commissioner...

They�re all coming to the function.

Anger these guys from the tax department...

And they'll throw you in prison when they can.

So you�ve got to be very careful.

Am I right? ... iSnt that right?

Get ready. Quick.

Mom... why aren�t you with me?

What are you looking at?

- It�s the... - The Moon?

But where is the Moon?

It�s going to be out, isn�t it? Now look, son...

Wait all night. But you won't be able to see the Moon.

Take a rickshaw ride to Mehboob studios to take a look at it.

Take a close look at it to your hearts content

- How'll I go to Mehboob Studios? - in an auto rickshaw.

- How will they let me in? - I�ll talk to Ram Singh.

The drunkard will arrange it for you.

Now go to sleep. It�s very late.

Rickshaw... wait

To Mehboob Studios.

You? Weren�t you supposed to return after you saw Mallika?

- But I haven�t seen her yet. -You won�t.

You won�t understand till there's a villain in your life.

A villain like Boney Kapoor.

These dreams never come true. Had even one turned true,...

The whole of India would've descended in Mumbai

There are so many of these heroines. Pooja, Karisma...

All right. Mallika's yours. But the rest of them...

I�m no less handsome too.

Don�t I look like a South Indian hero?

I used to sport a moustache. I shaved it off later.

-Why? - Boney has one too.

- The godamn .What�s that?

I�ve called him every possible name in the world

This is the latest I�ve designed it's exclusively for him

He vanished with the woman of my dreams...the king of crooks

Here's Mehboob. Get the camera here.

I�m kittu...

I work in the restaurant opposite your house.

I�m a big fan of yours

I�ve come from Poona to see you.

I see every film of yours in the first Show.

At least a dozen times over.

I have at least 2OOO photographs of yours.

- 2OOO photographs? - That�s right.

I�ve got cuttings of all the pictures published in every magazine.

I have a big poster of yours too.

But Dad tore it up...

I couldn�t take it. And so I walked out of home and came here.

You walked out of home because your dad tore up my poster?

Yes. It was a mere poster for everyone else...

But it wasn�t just paper for me.

It made me feel as if you were with me. in my house.

May I say something? I used to talk to the poster.

-Who are you? - He's a fan, uncle.

-So? - He's here to meet me.

How often have I told you not to encourage such people?

Get the hell out of here... throw him out

He's a scoundrel of the first order. That uncle others

His eyes say it all... he�s such a swine

Their watchman speaks sometimes when he�s drunk.

All I could make out from what he said is that...

The poor girl hardly talks.

That wicked man gets to shoot all over the place...

And the poor girl dances to his tunes, like a puppet.

What could she do? She had no father.

And the wicked man had taken over everything.

I�ve been watching her. She's been working since the age of 3.

She must�ve made so much of money... and those properties.

I don�t think she knows what happens of her money.

And people think she�s a star... that she�s living in luxury

But the truth is that she's a prisoner in a cage.

You dare refuse to sign this?

No, uncle I didn�t mean that

I give you a long leash... and you take liberties, eh?

- Forgive me -You dare back-answer me

You dare back-answer me

-What have you done? - He was beating you...

I couldn�t take it

Just go away from here or else, he'll kill you

- How about you? - He'll kill me too.

-So you must leave with me. - How can I go away.

-Where can I go? - Far away from them...

They'll kill you if you live here any longer

Let�s go hurry up He's regaining consciousness

C�mon hurry up

There�s no time to waste He�s waking up C�mon

Hurry up C�mon

He must�ve got inform here. What do you think?

How�d I know where the devil landed from?

All I know is that the swine has kidnapped my little girl

I wish I had a gun I'd have Shot him

I don�t care about being hanged.

I wonder where she is... how is my poor little girl?

I wonder what she�s going through?

I can�t even swallow a sip of water when I remember her innocent face

My God either give me death... Or give me back my daughter

Haven�t you really seen the assailant?

No. He struck me on the head and I passed out.

I could only hear my girl cry, Papa, please save me

- Do you have any business rival? -What rivals?

We are not induStriaiiStS . We are entertainers.

We want to see people enjoy... but that has given me tears today

-Any phone calls? - No less than 15O since morning

Appall of gloom has descended on the film industry

-Was there any extortion demand? -I'll reply that question on TV.

Whoever you are... take away all my possessions

But return my daughter to me

If my daughter isn�t returned to me in 24 hours, Mr. DCP...

I will immolate myself Publicity

And the police alone will be responsible for this

Hurry up ...and Shut that door

You�ve got it, haven�t you? Now stay at the door.

Here you are. Here's some money too.

Ask her to wear the burqa and quickly walk out of this place.

She'll be disguised in the burqa and nobody recognizes you.

But don�t run... Okay? Just go away quietly.

- No. I�m going to the station. -Why? Going back home, are you?

-Yes. - Not fond of Mallika anymore?

- No. That�s not true. - Did you find Mallika then?

Yes. I did.

When I first came to Bombay, I told him...

Listen, hero. Won�t you introduce me to sister-in-law?

She isn�t my sister-in-law

Your wife's my sister-in-law, silly boy

- But she�s not my wife - No? A sister then, maybe.

- This is Mallika. -What?

- MeruniSa. - I see

So you�re taking her home to meet your parents, eh?

That�s life. You dream of Mallika. And you get Merunisa.

Know what I thought...

-What happened? -Somebody might See you.

You said something.

Had the driver known that Mallika was really in the rickshaw...

He�d have fainted of the shock

Anyone would have fainted.

You�re here with me. And I can�t believe it

All I wanted in life was to meet you. Just once.

And you�re going home with me today it all Seems like a dream

True. it all appears to be a dream.

I didn�t even know you yesterday. And today, here I am...

- isn�t it like a film-story? -Absolutely.

My life has taken a twist like the stories in the movies.

My life, that had come to a standstill, is on the move again

I mean it

My life had come to a standstill...

it�s moving again

I�m friends with joy again so let's enjoy it

There seemed to be no story there was no king, no queen

What�s happened today? I seem to have found everything

My destination is at hand

I wish there were some magic... and these moments could be frozen

We listen to each other...

breaking all the shackies

Who�s that?

How could you just go away like this?

Did you not think of your mother at all?

Didn�t you consider what we'd go through...

- Forget it. -You didn�t even care to contact us

- Do you know how worried She was...? - Forget it.

Do you leave your house for something so trivial?

Forget it. He has returned.

No, son...

My son

Know what I did? I pasted those posters back again

One moment, okay?

-What window is this?

I used to go to those night shows. Mom and dad thought I was asleep.

And I sneaked out of the window.

-What is it, mom? - I�ve got some hot water for you.

- it�s okay, Mom. i'll take it. - No.

I�ll do it for you. You've returned after so many days.

- No, mom.

- Please, mom. I'll do it. - Reaiiy?

- Can I use the water for a bath? -Sure.

- I don�t have a change of clothes. - iii get some of Niki's.

- Niki? - My sister.

I�ll be back in a minute.

know what, Nisha? Brother has returned

I�m not lying talk to him, if you can�t believe me.

Okay? Just a minute.

Must be in his room. Where else?

Just hold on.

I think he's in the bath.

Brother it's a call from Nisha

Brother There�s a call

it�s me.

- There was a call from Nisha. -So?

I covered my hand with at Owei and took the phone.

- How about Nisha? - I disconnected.

Here are some clothes.

The police won�t sit quietly

The film star has been kidnapped They'll get caught in just 2 days

Which film-stars did you see in Mumbai, brother?

Not Vinay Anand... it�s Vijay Anand.

No. Vinay Anand. He's Govinda's nephew.

-Who�s that? Heard of him? - I don�t know.

-Which other stars did you see? - I saw Rekha.

Have some water. That�s what the mention of Rocha does to him

I choked on it. That�s all.

By the way, how�s Rekha to look at?

Tell him, kitty How�s Rekha...

I like her acting so I asked how she looks in fiimS

Oh come on your eyes sparkle when you hear that name

How can you say such things before the kids?

She�s very beautiful, Papa

Know the crazy things he did in college?

- He wrote to Rekha in his blood -What nonsense go on and eat

I wrote to her, all right. But it wasn�t in blood.

MOm adds a dash of sugar to everything.

I think you won�t like it.

-You�re such a lucky chap, kittu.-Why?

I was quietly watching

I didn�t know this is how a family is.

I wished I had a family like this, too.

When I saw your mom today...

I missed my mom so much

As for your sister...

I never knew one shared such moments with his family.

it waS a nice feeiing.

After ages, I felt as if I have someone I can call my own.

- Do you want some rice? - This is enough.

Use the rug if you feel cold.

I know. This isn't the first time I�m going to sleep.

-Where will you sleep? - Here.

- On the floor? - On the bed.

It has all arrangements. Do you want anything else?

No. Just please go to sleep.

After ages, I felt as if I have found someone I can call my own

Is she too...? No. Impossible.

But that�s what she meant.

Could it perhaps be loneliness that makes her talk like this?

Why would She, for no reason? She must feel something too.

Maybe... She�s in love with me.

No... in love with me? She�s Mallika, after all.

I�m just kittu.

I wish there is a day when she loves me as much as I do.

-Who�s that? - Nisha

-What are you doing in there? -Wake up, Mallika Hurry up

- Hurry up... Go on - I�m coming in there, kittu

Get into the bathroom. Yes, I�m coming

-Where had you been? - Don�t hit me Listen to me

You didn�t even tell me before you left

I called your place, Nisha...

-Who do you think you are? - Calm down and listen...

- I�ll explain everything -What happened?

You leave without telling me And... How dare you

Now listen to me... give me that.

Ail right. Give me a minute. Let me at least take a wash

I�ve just woken up... Please, Nisha

-Was that Nisha? -Yes. She�s the one.

My best friend. She's a bit crazy.

I'll be back in a minute. I'll go and talk to her...

Or she might create some trouble. Okay?

You have a mad brother He's an idiot

- May I ask Something? - Go ahead.

How do you know you'd find a needle in a haystack?

-What? - How do you know you find it?

-What are you taiking about? - How do you know you find it?

- Now look, Niki... -Will you find it?

What are you girls up to? is this any place to jump around?

Get down

-Aren�t you going to college today? -We are.

Go on then.

I�m going out, Shard...

- Niki what do you want? - I want the cordless...

I'll get it for you. One moment

Here you are.

kittu... come here.

There�s a meeting of the teacher's association today.

Listen to me, Nikki...

Give me a chance, Nikki... iii explain everything Please

Just two minutes... please you understand, don�t you?

She�s Mallika, isn�t she?

it�s like this, Nikki.

Mallika has an uncle in Mumbai who lives with her. And...

- Have I ever hurt anyone, mom? - No.

- Have I ever done something wrong? - No. Why ask me that?

You�ve read about Mallika's abduction in the papers...

Yes?

Actuality, Mallika has not been kidnapped.

- No? - No.

How do you know all that?

it�s like this, mom. Maiiika...

What is it?

Mallika's with me, mom.

Not the poster, mom

Come on out, Mallika

This is Mallika, mom... And Mallika, this is my mother.

Greetings.

Why don�t you understand?

Your dad won�t listen to us He'll go straight to the police

I know that, mom. But what could I do?

Had I left Mallika in Mumbai, her uncle would�ve killed her

And I haven�t kidnapped her She came of her own voltion

- Brothers� right, mom. - But what will i teii your papa?

Don�t worry about, papa. We'll handle him, mom

-Where will she stay? - in my room.

Do you think your papa won't know when we stay together?

Niki and I'll handle it, mom Just agree to it. Please, mom

I cannot lie to your papa

Not even for ur sake, mom?

You know I�d never do anything wrong, mom.

- it has to do with her life... - No, kittu.

Maybe your mom's right.

When I ran away with kittu from those terrible circumstances...

I hadn�t imagined id cause you folks, so much of harassment.

The last thing I want is to...

Please take me back, kittu.

No, dear. You will stay here. We'll deal with everything.

- There's another request. -What is it?

Could you bake a cake?

- Tomorrow's the 21st of December. -So?

-What do I do every December 21? -What is that?

He celebrates Mallika�s birthday

Whose birthday is it?

I struck him with a flower vase and he collapsed.

We ran away from there and came here.

There�s a limit to madness, kittu How could you do such a thing?

I couldn�t help it, Nisha. i had to bring her here.

How long will she stay here? - For how long?

You don�t intend to have her here forever, do you?

I wish that could happen. You know how much I love her.

Love? -Yes.

Ever since I saw her first film, i've been crazy about her.

But Mallika�s a dream She'll remain one.

She'll go away some day.

But I�ll always be in love with her pictures.

What�ve you been taiking about? - Nothing...

Nothing indeed Brother's been talking about love...

They�re kidding. Don't let them con you.

Really? And what did you Say?

Love is a dream... it can�t ever be true.

Didn�t you Say all that?

You tell us something about love, Mallika.

I ? -Yes

I do not know anything about love.

You�ve done So many romantic films. You must know Something

No doubt, I have. But that�s make-believe.

We just follow orders and do as we are told to do.

You tell us Something, Niki. - Me?

Weren�t you bragging? No go on

Ail right. I can speak too

In love, one feels like meeting the beloved every day.

One feels like nagging the over...

And you start finding someone so special.

It�s as good a feeling as having ice-cream

Life finds a new meaning.

You folks are dancing and singing. What's the occasion?

it�s just that were happy, papa. So we were...

This is my friend, uncle... Priya... Smita

Let's go, Smita... Bye, uncle

This thing about love...

it�s gotten to me too

There�s no one here. C'mon.

kittu gave it to me on my last birthday.

He�d been saving money for it for over a month.

Is it good?

Had Papa got to know, we'd have had it

What? When did it happen? I�m coming right over

What happened?

The Police have taken Papa away -What?

Where are you going, kittu? Wait

Now look don�t lie to us.

We have information that film-star Mallika was seen in your house.

Are you crazy? How the film-star and in my house?

Don�t pretend, Okay? Just tell us where She is.

You�re mistaken, Sir.

Neither is Mallika in my house nor have I kidnapped her

Looks like he won�t give in. We must use force.

Now look, A.C.P. You can�t use force against me

I can�t use a lot of things

This is kittu, Sir. -Who�s that?

That man's Son.

So you are kittu? -Yes.

Now tell me where you've hidden Mallika

Who�s that? - I�ve told you, A.C.P

There�s no film-Starin my house And my son never tells a lie

You? Where�s Mallika Tell me Else, I�ll kill you

Don�t you dare touch my son -So you are his father?

You ought to be slapped for siring such a son

Don�t you dare talk like that -You point a finger at me...

Come here, Dholuram.

Go away. - They know where she is

Let me do my job. Go on out

Sit down there... Sit down

Now quietly tell me where Mallika is.

Or I�ll give you the beating of your life

Believe me, Sir... I don�t know anything about Mallika.

They aren�t beating brother, are they?

Why will they? They�re supposed to only make enquiries, isn�t it?

I�m told they beat people during the interrogation.

No...that can�t be true.

So why hasn�t brother returned yet?

I�m getting scared, mummy. - There�s nothing to worry about.

Everything will be all right... don�t worry.

Calm down... Everything will be all right.

Please, A.C.P. Don�t hit him My son isn�t lying

Where have you hidden her? Tell me

Mallika is here, Sir. -Where is She?

She's in your room.

Greetings... -Where's Mallika?

God Almighty You have returned my daughter to me

You're okay, aren�t you?

That boy hit me on the head... or i'd have saved you

Beat that chap to pulp He mustn't be able to walk again

I will speak to the i.G. That boy must be given...

kittu is innocent. My uncle is the real culprit

What�s she talking about?

Let�s get home and i'll Show you...

I want you to be quiet.

I don�t understand what you said, Miss Mallika.

I want to explain everything to you, Mr A.C.P.

I ran away with him to escape from this man.

That boy helped me escape from this man

He has been very helpful to me... please let him go.

Release him He�s innocent.

You may go.

if you�re seen around Mallika again, you'll get such a beating...

You'll have to be carried away n a her!

Congrats, kittu. You�ve turned out to be a real hero.

Mallika has asked me to thank you...

She said she�s grateful to you for whatever you did for her.

Where are you going, kittu? Come back

Let�s eat, kittu. C�mon. - Go on. I�m not hungry.

How long will you sit like this? Come on.

I�m really not hungry, okay? I�m okay as I am.

We know what you are going through, brother...

But what will you gain by this? -So what am I to do?

What do you expect from her? Tell me

We all knew that shed go away one day.

Her problem was solved and she has left. Period.

I know that, but she left without a word. I can�t understand that.

Why don�t you understand? this is how the rich are

What has this to do with riches and poverty?

No... I don�t understand this. - But she does, doesn�t she?

No matter what you think of her...

I think I know her well. okay.

In addition, I want to meet her just once. to ask why she did this to me.

Hurry up, Rakesh. - Here you are, Sir.

How are you folks? And when did you come?

Just now. -Sit down.

Get some chairs, Kishore.

What will you have? Tea? Coffee? Or some soft drink?

Have something, please.

Get me the next scene, Rakesh.

How long will you be here? -Were returning today.

There�s a slight change. You're returning from the hero's house.

Read the scene. iii ready the Shot.

Let's go.

Are you leaving so soon? -We�ve got to go elsewhere.

Ail right. Let me see you off at the gate.

Do invite me to your wedding with kittu...

My wedding? ...Stop the car

Where�s Mallika? - There. in the make-up room.

What happened? -You?

Why have you come here? -What�s the matter?

Nothing at all... -Why are you crying?

Please go away, kittu... I�ve got to leave.

I won�t let you go till you tell me why you�re crying

Let go of my hand, please... - I won�t

Please leave my hand -What wrong have I done?

Why are you doing this to me? What�s my mistake?

You�ve done nothing... nobody�s done anything wrong.

I�m the one to blame

And why is it always I, who faces this?

I lost my mother when I was a child.

All I have done ever since is to work and work.

I have tolerated my uncle, his famiiy... and everything else.

And suddenly, i met you one day.

It was as if iife had found a new meaning

I found myself so happy and carefree for the first ever time.

I don�t know when it happened... but I fell in love with you.

But I got to know that you already belonged to someone.

And Nisha is such a nice girl. She loves you so much...

I wouldn�t want to come between you.

All I want to know is why i have to put up with this

Why is it me alone?

Don�t ever meet me again. Never again.

I won�t be able to take it. i won�t

Did you say something to Mallika? -What?

That you love me? -Yes.

Are you crazy? -Why? What�s up?

Mallika believes you - I don�t understand...

Maiiika thinks you're in love with me

But that�s true, kittu. -Stop kidding, Nisha

You know how much I love Mallika...

and She loves me too itS true She told me

I hadn�t ever dreamt she could love me and belong tO me

One silly mistake on her part has ruined the whole thing

Mallika thinks Nisha and I am going to marry.

And she doesn�t want to come between us

How do I tell her that Nisha and I are just friends

And that I love her alone not Nisha

But she will never believe me what am I to do?

There is a misunderstanding, Mallika.

I admit, I told you that I love kittu.

Yes. I do love kittu. But only as friend.

We�ve been friends since we were kids. Therefore, we love each other.

It isn�t the love you think it is...

He�s obsessed with you all 24 hours of the day...

Which crazy girl would ever fall for him?

kittu is madly in love with you.

Since I�m his friend... nobody knows better.

And how can I be in love with him when I know the truth?

Kittu belongs only to

The news of film-star Mallika's wedding with a student of Pune...

Krishnakant, has shocked the entire film industry.

krishnakant is neither rich nor an industrialist's son.

He has only been Mallika's ardent fan.

Well? What are you staring at me for?

I know what you will ask Why did you do this?

Each one of us has a dream, Niki...

a goal, everyone of us wants to reach.

And Mallika has always been Kittu's goal.

He has always been in love with her.

it was foolish of us not to take him seriously.

We always joked about it.

I�d have fought any other girl...

But how can I compete with Mallika?

You mean...
