Yes, this is a film studio, he is walking into.

In this studio, countless films have been made, are being made.

But this studio hasn't changed, nor the atmosphere here...

all is, as was, only different films...

different people.

Time was when...

when he too was here, making films.

"I have seen..."

"A world full of love."

"They all part..."

"One by one, they all part."

"I have seen a world full of love."

"They all part one by one, they all part."

"What have I found..."

"From this world?"

"Tears alone..."

"Nothing else remains."

"Flowers and flowers..."

"Blossomed in my gardens."

"Even thorns..."

"I have no hopes for."

"Here, in a world of greed..."

"They all part..."

"One by one, they all part."

"I had seen a world full of love."

"They all part one by one."

"They all part one by one."

"In times when fate favours..."

"When hope is still young..."

"To worry of a future..."

"Where is the time?"

"In times when fate favours..."

"When hope is still young..."

"To worry of a future..."

"Where is the time?"

"May your glory be.. may time flow."

"Let beauty keep smoldering. And drinks keep varying."

"May your glory be.. may time flow."

"Let beauty keep smoldering. And drinks keep varying."

"May your glory be.. may time flow."

"Let beauty keep smoldering. And drinks keep varying."

"May your glory be.. may time flow."

"Let beauty keep smoldering. And drinks keep varying."

"May your glory be.. may time flow."

"Let beauty keep smoldering. And drinks keep varying."

"May your glory be.. may time flow."

"Let beauty keep smoldering."

- Good morning sir. - Good morning sir.

See? On the second stroke of nine, Mr. Vijay walks in.

In the numbers' game, today's jackpot is number two.

What a shame! Bad boy!

What a tune! The boss heard it and said it's for the sequence...

when Devdas is dying on his way to meet his beloved.

- Let's hear the tune. - As you please.

The icing on the cake is, my music...

will match the pace of the sequence in film. Soft.

Cut out the introduction. Let me hear the tune.

As you wish. There were no lyrics, so I just used a filler.

Sorry! As you say.

No. Never. Kanta dear.

Suresh will never make that mistake! Why do you forget?

You are playing Paro, Devdas' heroine.

- Isn't that enough? - Absolutely!

Absolutely!

Oh shut up! Be sensible.

A twenty-year old girl without a fancy dress...

without a penciled eyebrow, not even a hairdo. Not even a curl!

Tell me, do I look like a heroine, or a witch?

Exactly!

- What were you saying? - Just only...

Kanta doesn't like Paro's role a bit!

Oh no! I will said that.

What I meant was to add some bounce to the character.

Please, for my sake.

You will mould yourself according to the character. Not vice versa.

I'm not asking for much. Just a beauty spot and...

- a few curls in my hair. - Not a twist.

- Not even a side parting in the hairdo? - No. Just plain.

I'm not working in this film.

Thank you.

You're taking this too far. She can wear a side-parting.

Yes.

Then get someone else to direct the film.

- What, what, what, what? - "May your glory be.. may time flow."

The parting stays simple, Kanta

Oh no!

I regret very much, dear. But the parting...

Stays simple.

"Let beauty keep smoldering. And drinks keep varying."

"May your glory be..."

Hello, Sir.

"Let beauty keep smoldering. And drinks keep varying."

"May your glory be..."

"Long are the glittering nights."

"Once the night is spent, where are the joys gone?"

"Long are the glittering nights."

"Once the night is spent, where are the joys gone?"

"Only a moment..."

"All these pleasures last."

"Only a moment..."

"All these pleasures last."

"All these pleasures last."

"Fervor has intensified."

"Fervor has intensified."

"Pleasure, only to exhilarate..."

"The painful climax."

"Fervor has intensified."

Daddy.

Oh, daddy. Daddy.

Daddy.

When did you arrive from Bombay? Now?

- Dear. - Daddy.

Tina. Tina.

Tina. He's my dad!

I don't think you've met my Daddy.

Why not lock me up in a museum for...

your friends to take a good look at?

Pammi.. did I hear you call him daddy?

Its her birth right, ma'am.

Girls, get along with your games.

Come on.

Pammi, you go on too.

She too? Why?

You can't see her. Her mother's orders.

- But she is my daughter too. - But you aren't her guardian.

Her mother admitted her here. We can't ignore her instructions.

Come, Pammi. Excuse me.

Daddy! Daddy!

Quiet, child! Quiet!

- Suresh! - What? Who's it?

Jittery seeing me here?

- Good evening, Suresh. - Good evening, Sir Brij Bhushan.

That's better.

We pay due attention to etiquette in this household. Do sit.

Lulu's bark sounds feeble. Could it be a cold?

Oh no, dear!

Suresh, meet Rita. The new member in our family.

Actually I'm here to see some other member.

Your daughter.

- Roy. - Yes, sir?

Tell little miss that her husband pays her his regards

I'm coming from Dehra Dun.

I see.

I wasn't allowed to see her, in terms of your instructions.

I'm sure, dear.

Lulu surely has a cold. Her bark is never so feeble.

Don't be absurd, BB!

She gets her brandy twice a day. I give it to her myself.

Really.

Blissful weather, my dear!

So how's the Bombay weather?

I haven't travelled 800 miles to give you a weather forecast.

I want to discuss Pammi.

What a pity!

You have wasted your time for nothing. What we had to decide...

- we decided years ago. - Years ago, it was your daughter...

who walked out on me. Now you want to take Pammi away from me?

Now? You are forgetting Suresh. Pammi and her mother...

have been living with us for years.

Because the child needed the mother.

From now on, my daughter lives with me.

Nonsense!

Sir B.V. Varma's granddaughter in the rotten film atmosphere?

Impossible!

No one in the world is as unfortunate as us, Suresh.

In high society, we feel ashamed to say that our daughter is married.

Because then they ask us what her husband does.

Dear me!

Before the wedding, little did we know that you'd end up in films.

I don't understand why you think so ill of the film business?

Look, Suresh.

In this household, we discuss good things...

not rotten things. Let's talk about something else.

Then my last word is, no one takes Pammi away from me.

Neither you nor your daughter.

The courts are open to everyone. Keep trying.

What?

- You'll drag family squabbles to court? - In British justice...

- I repose complete trust. - I don't wish to argue with you.

I'll discuss what I have to, with Veena.

Cheer up! Old chap!

The best formula for headaches you pick up from that zoo...

is a peg of brandy.

Oh no!

First get the formula.

If you're seeing an old fool, one swig.

If you're seeing an old fool's wife, two swigs.

If you're seeing wives.. my God! Whole bottles aren't enough.

Well, did you meet Bina?

She refused to see me.

Oh! Woman after all.. woman!

Ask Rocky what it's like to spend a lifetime with these women.

You come only once a year. Look at me. At thirty five and a quarter.

I feel like having lived a lifetime with women!

36 years, Suri!

C'mon, jump in.

- Where are you going? - Club. I've to see Jimmy too.

Poor chap, he's sick.

- How is Jimmy now? - Better now.

The doctor has prescribed a full diet for him.

Wonderful! Jimmy boy!

- He looks fine. - Thanks to Dr. Singh's diagnosis

Where's Dr. Singh?

Yes?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes?

Yes.

I had asked for one Dr. Singh in shirtsleeves...

- not someone in a blouse! - I'm his daughter.

Ms. Juliet.

If you're Mr. Rakesh, nice having met.

This isn't a horse's leg.

Where's your Paps?

- Paps? - Papa.

- He isn't here. I treated Jimmy. - You did?

Yes, and for the next few days, I will be coming. Papa isn't well

How wonderful!

I mean, your being here.

As soon as you arrive, Jimmy feels better. And I...

Forget it! Your father has typhoid? He'll be laid up for 40 days?

- No, it's a cold. Two-day affair. - Only a two-day affair?

Anyway, he can't come to the stables.

What if he gives the horses a virus?

Duffer!

Hello.

You have a cold?

I mean, strange weather, isn't it?

Forgive me, if you're speech-impaired.

No use asking my name. I'm having my dinner at the hostel tonight.

- I have no interest in movies. - What?

Yes.

But why are you telling me all this?

I hear gentlemen nowadays begin with a hello...

when they come across girls, then the weather...

third, the name, fourth, an invitation to dinner or movies, fifth...

Enough. Makes me half a gentleman.

I can't get beyond number two. Not to worry.

- Really? - Rest assured.

Then I'm so sorry. I got you...

You have a cold, and it's chilly.

- Why aren't you carrying your overcoat? - Colds and chills are for free.

An overcoat costs money.

Use this.

- You? - Come on.

- What about you? - I won't get a cold.

I've had a brandy.

Alcohol?

I hear men drink alcohol...

and then they misbehave

There are those who drink to forget misbehaviour meted out to them.

Really!

Oh I forgot! I'm taking the train to Bombay. In 20 minutes

Taxi!

Listen.

Hey stupid man. You sent a beggar to play a bit role.

One more complaint and you're through.

Just manage this once, Mr. Gupta...

- Good morning, boss! - Hello, sir.

Morning.

- Hi, boss. - Morning.

Hello, sir.

Background lighting is ready.

Good.

Camera on crane. Truck forward.

- Okay. - Get over with the lighting.

Hey! Are you stuck here? All extras are on the sets.

I'm going, Master-ji.

Take care of him.

Why aren't you on the sets yet? Why don't you say?

- My baby was crying for a feed. - If you're so preoccupied...

- why come to work as an extra? - Musa!

Yes, sir.

No hurry. You can come to the sets after you've put your baby to sleep.

Thank you.

Come here, child.

- What's your name? - Shammi.

Don't cry my child.

Shammi?

Don't cry my child.

Keep this.

Don't cry my child.

Be sensible, darling.

But how can I...

What do you want?

Anyone called Mr. Sinha in this company? Film director.

- I've been waiting for you. - Rushes ready.

Book a theatre during lunch break.

Cut.. cut.. cut.. What the...

Where's she come from!?

Musa! Who asked that extra to walk in?

This is a coat.

- Coat? - Yes, in the rain...

I mean in Delhi. You gave it to me. Under that tree.

Boss.

Oh yes, yes!

- You're here to return the coat? - Yes.. no!

I'm here in Bombay looking for a job.

I found your business card in the coat.

- So here I am... - May I talk to you after the shot?

Gupta, give her a chair.

Silence, everybody. Silence.

Sound ready? Get the clap.

- Yes, boss. - Start sound.

- Okay. - Clap.

27 by 6 take 5.

27 by 6 take 6.

Take 9.

Cut it. Cut it. Okay.

Take the crane down.

Lights off.

- Print takes 10 and 11. - Okay. Sir, the girl who came.

- Yes, where is she? - Gone. She left this letter for you.

Glasses? Binda, read this out.

Gupta, what have you done? You've printed the wrong take.

Wait. Let it run.

Binda! She's the one! That's the face.

The one for Paro's role. Exactly

Gupta, wherever this girl is, call her right now. Right now

But sir, looking for someone without...

a name, an address in this huge city...

If you don't know, find out. Quick! Paro must be found!

Walk, please.

Face in profile.

Bit of smile.

- Bad teeth, maybe. - You're as morose as an orphan.

- Are you here to mourn someone? - Playing a heroine is no child's play.

If you can't show your teeth...

at least let us hear you speak. Come on.

Kus Tun Tuniya.

Sorry!

Kus Tun Tuniya.

I can't act. I...

I'm not becoming an actress.

I'm not becoming an actress.

Hear that? Are you going to make her a heroine per force? And why?

- Features okay. But blank face. - She ought to display some emotion.

She doesn't even know how to smile!

Hey! That Tun Tuniya can't speak these words.

She'll end up in silent films.

She isn't becoming the heroine. I have decided. Period

Gupta, give her make up and put her on the set.

- What, what, what, what? - Decide after the screen test.

Paro.

The Paro of my dreams.

Forever, my eyes have been searching for...

- this vision. - What?

This naivete, this innocence. You are Paro.

No, my name is Shanti.

- Shanti? - Yes, you gave me your overcoat.

If it's Paro, she must be someone else.

Paro is the heroine in "Devdas". That's the role I want you to do.

But your colleagues have failed me.

Please excuse me. I can't do acting.

- I'm fine the way I am. - What way?

- I mean, what are you doing? - Great job. With a chemist...

at 90 a month, I draw only 10 less than a whole hundred.

You know what you'll make out of working for our company?

One thousand.

- One? - Thousand.

That is ten times hundred.

Oh my!

- You'll act now, won't you? - Wait a minute!

A thousand! At most I need 150 to live it up.

And the rest? Oh no! So much? For a girl all on her own?

Alone? Your parents or relatives?

A distant uncle who keeps distance.

I've been brought up in an orphanage.

Your education?

I earned enough to pay for my books.

Finger on my needle, eyes on my books. I've passed matriculation.

- Shanti. - Yes?

The more I understand you, the more I am convinced.

- You will make a splendid Paro. - You have such faith in me?

I can't tell you how much. You will do splendidly. Trust me.

Can you trust me?

Strangely, for the first time in my life...

I trust someone else more than I trust myself.

Here you are.

Paro's dialogues.

- Hello, Rocky. - Hello.

- I say Meherban. - Not Meherban.

- Jimmy is winning this race. - Come and meet my new heroine.

Miss Shanti. And he Mr. Rocky.

You know her I guess.

- Good afternoon! - Good afternoon.

He's one of biggest in the big bracket

Not much. Only five feet eight inches.

I mean, Mr. Rakesh is a millionaire.

Oh no!

Not that word. I hate it and I'd rather die a bachelor.

- Where are you putting up? With Suresh? - No. At the Taj.

At the Taj.

When I left home, I decided I want to be free.

Here comes my freedom.

Miss Juliet Singh.

- Hello. - Hello.

She's takes care of the health of all my children.

How nice!

- How many children do you have? - One dozen

Last year I had eight. This year twelve

Twelve?

Oh yes.

Five brown, seven black.

His kids have four legs and a tail.

- One is running in the races. - What a kid!

Rocky!

Rocky!

You're in Bombay and you don't even telephone me.

Time for the race. Excuse me.

- Hello. - Hello.

C'mon, Deep blue!

C'mon, Deep blue! C'mon, Deep blue!

C'mon, Deep blue!

C'mon, Deep blue!

Rocky.. Rocky!

Rocky.. Rocky!

Rocky!

You have no idea.

Film Devdas will surely succeed.

Miss Lillian.

Hello.

Miss Mary.

He's Mr. Desai.

M. D. Shroff.

Miss Nabanyka.

Mr. M. G. Khan.

Miss Mary.

Miss Lillian.

Siddharth Bahadur Siddharth Ishwar Singh.

Mr. B. J. Kapoor.

Lala Ishwar Das.

Mr. Sinha.

You?

Come here.

Curls? Show me your fingers.

Your nails!

Eyebrows, done up! What's all this?

For this party.. he said...

Parties are more interesting than work?

I never expected you to take to tinsel town so soon.

Listen Mr. Sinha.. Mr. Sinha.

- Please listen. - To what?

Tomorrow you're shooting. Playing Paro. An innocent Indian girl

With all that lacquer in your hair, what are we going to shoot?

- It takes 10 days to come off. - I didn't know about the make-up.

You think the make-up makes you look pretty?

You're looking like a monkey.

- What? - Yes.

Wiped off the innocence on your face.

You should've asked me how endearing your simplicity is.

- What? - You think I'm joking?

I've seen ugliest trying to look pretty.

First time, I'm seeing otherwise.

Enjoy your party.

Hurry up, guys. What are you doing?

Hurry up, guys.

You haven't yet place things up there?

We have got to cover a distance of 40 miles.

Mr. Sinha must be on his way.

Make it fast.

Easy. What are you doing? Move away.

Move it fast.

Where's your boss?

He'll come now.

Easy.

- See if they're ready. - Okay

- Okay? - Perfect. It came off so soon?

- I was after it all night. - You didn't sleep?

You said I love partying more than work.

- I said that only... - They are ready.

- Did I chide you too much last night? - You called me a monkey.

I don't know why I was so harsh.

I never do that to my heroines.

- No one? - I may have expressed annoyance.

But I never had the nerve to scream.

I'll explain. It's because you're a gentleman.

- Really? - Gentlemen don't scream at ladies.

What are you thinking?

I think you mind what happened last night.

Whatever you say, I won't mind. I understand you quite a bit

- What do you understand? - That you're...

like a walnut. Tough outside. Soft within.

"The passing wind..."

"Whispered something in my ears."

"The passing wind..."

"Whispered something in my ears."

"New hopes, a new desire wells up in my heart."

"The passing wind..."

"Whispered something in my ears."

"New hopes, a new desire wells up in my heart."

"The passing wind."

"A new fragrance touches my body, my soul..."

"Well.. yes.. yes."

"As your tresses flow."

"My faltering heartbeat tell me, I want to meet him."

"Meet him in this lovely season."

"The easterly drives me crazy..."

"My heart wants to fly."

"The easterly drives me crazy..."

"My heart wants to fly."

"Whispered something in my ears."

"New hopes, a new desire wells up in my heart."

"The passing wind."

"I'm ecstatic.. My heart won't listen to reason."

"No. No. No."

"It's the mischievous breeze."

"It bites like a snake."

"Oh the breeze!"

"Bites like a snake."

"It's killing me."

"The easterly drives me crazy."

"It's killing me."

"The easterly drives me crazy."

"The passing wind..."

"Whispered something in my ears."

"New hopes, a new desire wells up in my heart."

"The passing wind..."

"Whispered something in my ears."

Hello.

Yes, she is here

Madam. Madam.

- Let me sleep. - It's 11:00.

- It's a trunk call from Bombay. - What?

Trunk call?

What a torture!

Yes? Speaking.

What? Suresh? Accident?

I'm sorry to hear this.

How is he?

If he needs me, put him on the next flight.

His every need will be taken care of.

What?

No.. I can't go over.

I told you I can't.

Impossible.

What happened? Mrs. Sinha isn't coming?

No.

In a time like this, were someone from his family...

to have been with Mr. Sinha.

Anyway, a nurse stays with him round the clock.

I have given him morphine. Let him rest for 10 or 12 hours.

Very well. Let's go home.

Come.

Nurse, call me when he comes around.

Shanti. Shanti.

- Shall I give you a lift home? - No.

I called a cab. Please proceed. I will manage.

Alright.

Water.

Water.

Nurse.

Nurse.

Nurse.

Nurse.

Where have you been, nurse?

Actually I...

I don't like to depend on anyone.

But these eyes...

and now I have no one else but you to fall back upon.

Is it raining outside?

Yes.

Then I'll stay on in this room.

I like the sound of falling rain.

That night it was raining too.

And the poor thing didn't have a coat.

Nurse, how is Shanti? She was in the car with me.

- I'm still with you. - Who.. Shanti?

Yes.

You're all right, aren't you?

Quite. Here's water.

Listen.

I'm thirsty. But how did you know?

It's more than 13 hours since you had water.

I know your habit. You drink water every two hours.

- Where are the servants? - Everyone is asleep. It's 2 am.

That's quite late.

Ask the chauffeur to take you home.

- You don't want me to stay? - I wish.. but...

I don't want to trouble you.

Then don't ask me to leave.

No...

you better leave.

Shanti!

Shanti!

Yes, sir.

- What is it? - Nothing.

- Here she comes. - Why are you laughing?

This magazine is all praise for your Dad.

- What do they say? - Shall I read it for you?

Read it. Why do you even ask?

C'mon. Lets go.

Suresh Sinha, the famed director has found himself a new heroine.

It's said, she used to sell medicines.

Now she's treating Mr. Sinha's heart.

Maybe Mr. Sinha intends to take complete...

advantage of her knowledge of medicine

- What does this mean? - Rubbish! My Daddy isn't like that.

You've always lived apart. How'd you know what your Daddy is like?

I know! I know everything about him.

Everything? What's his new film?

- I.. that I don't know. - Who's his new heroine?

I don't know.

Why doesn't your Mummy live with him?

- I don't know! - Do you know your Daddy's name?

What did you say? I'll break your face!

- Pummi! Pummi! - I won't spare you today.

- You speak ill of my daddy. - Pammi! Pammi!

- Will you say it? Tell me. - Pammi! Pammi!

You speak ill of my daddy.

Pammi!

What's all this? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Shanti!

No one is in the studios yet.

How come you're here so early?

You're early too.

Habit. I come in a few hours early.

I know.

Really.

- What else do you know? - Everything.

After that night, maybe that's why...

you never came back to ask me how I am?

You asked me not to.

I asked you to leave.

I didn't ask you not to come back.

Did you wish I'd come?

- Whom are you knitting for? - There is someone.

- A Mister Someone, or a Miss? - Mr. Someone.

Didn't you tell me you haven't anyone in this whole wide world?

Who is this?

Someone just like me. Very lonely.

Shanti, maybe you don't know.

I am married.

I know.

- Rocky! - Yes, dad?

- Morning, dad. - Morning.

- Morning, mom. - Good morning, son.

Stop it, Tiger.

Stop it, Tiger!

Didn't you hear what mummy said?

Naughty boy!

Rocky, there's something I wanted to ask you.

Yes, about your Bombay stables.

No. No. Just look at this.

- I'll move, pop. - Sit down, Rocky.

Yes, dear?

Strange! He's wearing half a beard.

No wonder, my dear.

Look at the caption. Film types.

There you are, pop. Cheap people!

The film guys!

That's right, son.

You wanted to say something, Paps?

Oh yes! I wanted to say something.

- About Bombay? - Yes Bombay.

- About the British? - Yes British.

At your Bombay stables.. I'm sure I've seen him somewhere.

- Whom Papa? - The one in that photo.

I'm positive I have seen him some where.

You keep seeing him everyday. You're seeing him right now.

- See you, pap. - Sit down, Rocky.

The beard is penciled in. Why did you leave it half-done?

That's you in the photo!

How shocking!

- My snorting device! - Its here.

Here your snorting device.

What a shame, Papa!

He might not care for the prestige of our family.

- He is going into films too? - My son! I can't believe this.

- Mum, you should answer Papa. - First you give me an answer.

How did you go over to those cheap film-wallahs?

I took a cab.

Holly Moses!

Sir B.V. Varma's son falls among film-wallahs! And he even took a cab!

- What might they be thinking of us? - They don't even think of us

They just ignore us. Ignore!

He's staring at the actress. See the look in his eyes?

Oh! My son!

My son!

I can't believe it!

Believe me, papa.

Before the wedding, that's just how Suresh would stare at me.

Before the wedding, Suresh was still in his senses.

He was foolish to have married you.

Rocky!

Take your words back!

Okay! Okay!

All in the family. Stock it away. Someday, I'll collect.

See you! Good-bye!

Who are you?

That's my Daddy.

- Your? - Daddy.

Daddy's photos. Why have you put them up all over?

Why are you mum? Give me a reply.

Who else's can I put up? I have no one else...

- no relatives, no friends. - And my Daddy is everything to you?

When did you arrive from the school?

How long will you be with your Daddy?

First give me my answer. Then I'll give you yours

- How do I tell you? You're still a baby. - I'm not a baby

I ran away from school to come to you directly!

What baby could do that?

Ran away?

You shouldn't have done that. Why did you run away?

- To pick a fight with you. - To fight?

Sure, you'll have your fight. But after the rigours of the journey...

how can you put up a good fight? Take a wash, have a bite first.

I'm not eating. Don't trick me. I know you don't love me.

- How do you know? - You're Mummy's enemy!

How can you love your enemy's daughter?

You're Daddy's daughter too.

Darling, I bear no enmity towards your Mummy.

You're lying! You're snatching Daddy away from Mummy.

I won't let it happen. Get it?

You're getting me wrong, Pammi. They have been living apart...

- long before I came here. - That's because I was a baby.

Now I'm grown up, and if I try, they might come together.

But not as long as you stay in between.

I tell you, you are mistaken.

Then why have you such a huge photo of Daddy? Tell me!

I'm not a baby.

- I understand everything. - You understand nothing!

If your parents are living apart, it's all your mother's fault.

Who are you to accuse my Mummy? Whatever happens in my family...

is a private matter.

What right have you to meddle in other peoples' lives?

You've no right to meddle in my life!

After a lifetime of getting kicked about, for the first time...

I've found happiness. Maybe only in half measure.

For me it's everything. In no circumstance will I give it up.

You never had any parents.

I have mine.

I have my Mummy's home, Daddy's home too.

And my home's in hostel.

Different homes for three of us.

I was trying for us to have the same home.

But you won't let that happen. Little do you know...

what parents mean, what life is living without them!

Is your new heroine going to be there too?

- Yes, why? - Just asking.

Now all heroines will be envious of your success.

You have become a sensation.

- Where are you off to? - Why are you going there?

Click a nice photo.

Come on Suresh.

- One more. - Closer please.

Give us a look.

Will you keep your promise?

Ready?

The movie is so good and the songs are also so good.

No. No.

What a sense of humour! But a wise girl like you...

doesn't throw away this name, this fame.

Impossible! No, no, no.

I have decided. I'm not working in pictures.

Why, why, why?

I think you've lost your mind. All of filmdom is agog about you.

You're ruining a bright future! And you know it very well.

- My future. Not anyone else's. - Damn anyone else.

Everyone who is wise is selfish.

- No Never. I want to go away. - Look, I'm not your enemy

- You're like my daughter. - I just want to leave.

- I'm not letting you do this mistake! - I'm not working anymore.

- I'm not working anymore. - Who says you won't?

You are bound to me by contract for seven years! Don't you forget!

I'm going to sue you! In court

Whatever you do, you can't force me.

Who says I can't? I'm doubling your pay!

- Still, no. - Three times over!

- Not even then. - Fourfold!

Not even for a hundredfold. Don't harass me

Your telephone, Sahib.

Hello. Yes? Speaking.

What?

How come?

Shanti is leaving Bombay.

- Was it Shanti? - My boss called.

- Why are you nervous? - Who, me?

- Why should I be nervous? - When did you see Shanti?

Meet her? Not at all.

Don't lie to me.

Yesterday at the theatre, you made her promise something.

And today, she gives up everything, she moves out.

- That's the promise? - What else could I do?

The papers are writing all sorts of things about the two of you.

People talk ill of you. My classmates make fun of me.

If you had a complaint against your Daddy, you should've told me.

What right have you to torment an innocent girl?

Daddy!

This is the first time you've screamed at me.

Because of what you have done. You're still a baby.

You should concentrate on studies.

Instead, you run away from school...

you meddle in the affairs of your elders?

Till now, you weren't angry about me...

running away from school. But now...

it's quite something else!

Come in.

- Nice apartment. - Yes.

You've been here for... some months now, no?

Ten.

For the first time in so many months...

you've come to see my apartment?

No... I...

You? Are you leaving?

Yes. I wanted to inform you before leaving...

but...

No need.

I know why you're leaving.

I was sure you'd understand.

We always understood each other.

- Right? - Always.

Why do people start getting to know each other so well?

Why?

I wish it never happened this way.

Had it never happened...

you needn't have given up everything and gone away, like this.

You can escape everything...

but I am not so fortunate.

Listen...

Oh! Stop it, Pammi! Stop it.

I hate running noses.

Here, take it. I hate running noses.

Well.. I knew it.

I know. You tricked Pammi into coming here.

Be seated.

No, thank you.

I haven't the time. I want to take Pammi away. Right now.

- Yes. Pammi... - Daddy!

You can't take her away.

What nonsense!

I'll do what I want. Who's here to stop me?

I am. And if need be, per force.

Really? Suresh...

I say, the consequences of confronting...

Sir B.V. Varma won't be nice, Suresh.

I don't care.

I'm warning you Suresh.

- I'll sue you. I'll call the police! - Do whatever you want.

No one can take my baby away from me.

- No one! - Well!

Don't say you weren't warned.

The court thinks Pramila hasn't come of age to decide for herself.

Whether she ought to live with her father or her mother...

is for this court to decide.

Mr. Sinha, since when has your daughter been living away from you?

Since her mother left me, been nine years.

And now you wish to keep her with you?

Yes.

Servants apart, do you live all alone?

Yes.

- Can you bring her up on her own? - I surely will.

How? Shootings and editing keep you at the studios night and day.

- Who will look after your daughter? - I have trusted servants

When you are away shooting outdoors, for months together...

will you leave her with your servants?

I can take her along.

At the cost of her schooling, at an age when education is a must?

She needs her father too. And I need my daughter too

- You never felt this need before? - I have, always.

In these nine years, I had grown used to loneliness.

But now, this loneliness is a burden.

Never in my life have I felt so lonely. If Pammi is taken away from me.

The court is considering what's best in Pammi's interests. Not yours.

In this quarrel between man and wife, if she has her father's company...

she loses her mother. If she has her mother, she misses her father.

In your daughter's interests, why don't you arrive to a compromise?

I won't. Because of Pammi's good.

I don't wish my daughter tainted by the filthy atmosphere of films.

The courts regrets...

the decision of Pramila's parents against arriving at a compromise.

Keeping Pramila's best interests in mind...

this court is directing her mother to assume custody.

Waiter!

Get a whisky.

It's 11 o'clock. He isn't ready yet? What happens to the shooting?

It's been so long since I got a good number to bet on.

What to do, boy?

Mr. Sinha's timings have gone wrong, and your numbers.

"Come when you will, go when you want."

"Pitch your tent wherever you please."

"Come when you will, go when you want."

"Pitch your tent wherever you please."

"Sing in the streets, whistle..."

"Raise the cheer till sunrise."

Wow! Wow! Wow!

"That you and I say is marriage..."

"It's a complete disaster."

"If you lust, you'll regret."

"Mind you, you will lose your freedom."

"Wherever I go."

"I am welcome."

"Whichever home I go to..."

"I'm given a warm welcome."

"Once you're married, you're written off."

"No lovely lass will even give you a look."

Oh no!

"That you and I say is marriage..."

"It's a complete disaster."

"If you lust, you'll regret."

"Mind you, you will lose your freedom."

"This splash of colours, this fun..."

"Is because I have such friends."

"This splash of colours, this fun..."

"Is because I have such friends."

"I'm lucky to be so happy."

"Why am I envied?"

Wow.. wow.

"What you and I call a marriage..."

"You know, it's a complete disaster."

"If you lust, you will regret."

"Mind you, you will lose your freedom."

Mr. Iyer, did you hear?

Hello sir.

- Greetings. - Greetings.

- Give me today's scene. - Scene?

Sir, maybe you don't remember. Today we're doing a song sequence.

We're ready. Rehearsals are done.

- If you wish to see again... - Not necessary

Take.

- Mr. Sinha, is the lighting done? - Ready.

Please come and check.

Okay.

- Camera ready? - Yes, sir.

Lights.

Boy, give the clap quickly.

Samrat. Take one.

Start playback.

One.. two.

"I've betted..."

"On evens and odds."

"With a smile I roll the dice."

"I've betted on evens and odds."

"With a smile I roll the dice."

"Look at destiny, you fool!"

"Look how you're trapped."

"Look how you're trapped."

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Why cry?"

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. What for?"

"What for to cry."

"What for to cry."

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Why cry?"

"Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose."

Cut.. cut.

Pack up!

Don't go outside. There is a grave problem outside.

- Where are you running? - So far and no more.

- Inform the police. - Yes. You are right.

Why are you staring at me? Inform the police!

- Come on - Go. Go. Hurry up.

- What is the matter? - My theatre is in danger...

because of the film you have made.

Lights.

Listen, that's Suresh Sinha! He gives us this rubbish film.

He gives us this rubbish film. He should be given a fitting reward.

Hit him!

Hit him! Hit him!

Sister, tell us a story.

Yes, a story.

Yes, a story.

One, two, three.

Four and five.

Six and seven.

Eight and nine.

They all lived together.

But they had a hundred quarrels.

"One, two, three, four and five, six and seven, eight and nine."

"They all lived together. But they had a hundred quarrels."

"One, two, three, four and five, six and seven, eight and nine."

"They all lived together. But they had a hundred quarrels."

"Nine tells Eight."

"You're too small for me."

"Eight tells Seven.. You hang like a broken tooth."

"Seven tells Six.. How did you get here?"

"Nine tells Eight."

"You're too small for me."

"Eight laugh on Seven."

"You hang like a broken tooth."

"Seven tells Six. How did you get here?"

"So they all started screaming and quarrelling."

"Poor little One just stood staring."

"Poor little One just stood staring."

"One, two, three, four and five, six and seven, eight and nine."

"They all lived together. But they had a hundred quarrels."

"Poor little One was lonely and he wandered."

"On his way, he found another little no-one."

"Poor little One was lonely and he wandered."

"On his way, he found another little no-one."

"One asks.. Who are you?"

"One asks.. Who are you?"

"She said.. I'm just Zero."

"And One thought.. What am I but the smallest one?"

"They got together, became ten..."

"And then luck smiled"

"They got together, became ten."

"And then luck smiled."

"One, two, three, four and five, six and seven, eight and nine."

"They all lived together. But they had a hundred quarrels."

- Sister, then what happened? - Yes, what happened afterwards?

"When they saw One turn Ten."

"Everyone tried to make friends with Zero."

"Nine smiled sweetly."

"Eight flattered her."

"Seven lured her with pretty dreams."

"Six kicked up a storm."

"When they saw One turn Ten."

"Everyone tried to make friends with Zero."

"Nine smiled sweetly."

"Eight flattered her."

"Nine smiled sweetly."

"Eight flattered her."

"Seven lured her with pretty dreams."

"Six kicked up a storm."

"They took Zero away from One."

"They broke down the relationship."

"They took away their support."

"Once again, poor One was lonely..."

"And like before, he wandered."

"One, two, three, four and five, six and seven, eight and nine."

"They all lived together. But they had a hundred quarrels."

Your last film has flopped too.

Yes.

This news I have heard.

Not to break this news...

I have called you here to tell you the outcome.

You have lost 500,000, maybe 700,000.

But don't worry.

My next film will fetch you more than you've lost.

I surely will. And I have made adequate arrangements for that.

So soon? I haven't a plot ready.

Not to worry. I have a script ready.

You should give me a reading.

- If I like it... - You needn't.

You shoot the script. You can't change a single line.

- What...? - You will have no say...

in the music department. I'll do everything myself.

You?

"Beauty should keep smoldering. Drinks should keep varying."

You can't insult me into directing a film for you.

If you're making all arrangements, get someone else to direct it too.

That arrangement is in place too.

You aren't fit to direct movies anymore.

What did you say?

Do you say I'm unfit to direct movies?

After the millions I've made for you? And I am unfit?

You were successful. Not any more. We're in the film business, Suresh.

For your sake, I can't be unjust to five hundred others.

Intellectually, you are finished. You can't make hit films anymore.

No, I'm not finished! I'll prove it!

I'm just...

tired.

My trials...

the restlessness within...

how long can a man carry a burden?

What about this?

- A very old table lamp. - Rs. 5.

Rs. 5. Rs. 6.

- Rs. 7. - Rs. 8.

Rs. 9.

- Rs. 10. - Rs. 11.

Rs. 12. Rs. 13.

- Rs. 14. - Rs. 14.

Rs. 15.

- Rs. 15. - Rs. 16.

- Rs. 17. - Rs. 17.

Rs. 17, one.

Rs. 17, two.

The auction was to have happened. How long could it be put off?

For two years, he has been out of work.

Rs. 80 two.

In these two years, he tried his best to find work.

But he didn't get any.

And how could he? In filmdom, once a man slips, he falls.

Then no one even talks of him.

Neither his audience, nor his financiers

The audience has forgotten him...

the backers are about to.

This is the way of the film business. It takes time to make a name.

It doesn't take time to be forgotten.

Come on.

Bravo! Hippie!

Yes!

Hello, Rocky!

Hello. Hello.

My second win! My lucky day.

Mine too. After two long years I've won the case against Shanti.

- After two years? - Yes.

What is slow is?

Anyway you are the winner. What's the prize?

Big prize! Shanti has to work again.

Impossible. Impossible.

- Shanti won't go back to work. - But she has lost the lawsuit.

The last time in Delhi...

I got to know that Suresh's house was auctioned off.

- Didn't you bid? - No.

You still think Shanti will work for you?

What difference does it make to you?

You see? A woman's brains.

- What? - I mean light, flower-like.

Excuse me! Ill just.. spare me a moment. Please come.

Let's move.

Mr. Rakesh?

Hello, Shanti.

What a surprise.

On the ground.

- How come you're here? - Well, hunting.

- And you? - I teach the kids here.

I see!

Fine.. Lovely.

- Where are you coming from? - Bombay. The racing season is over.

At the last races, your boss.

- Seth Dayaram? - I met him

I get to know that you have lost the case. You have to go back, no?

What else is news in Bombay?

And...

Poor fellow! He was shot.

- Who? - Moti. One champion of a horse.

Tragedy of the year!

He made millions for his owner. Broke his leg in the last race.

Shot dead.

- Why? - A three-legged horse is useless.

That's the world of money. You don't lose time, losing the man...

- who made millions for you. - You aren't here for the hunt.

Nor to talk horses. Why not be clear?

Suresh is out of business too.

- Sorry? - Yes.

If you get back to work, your boss has promised to let Suresh direct.

Your reply?

Do you need one?

No.

Thank you.

- So the boss wants me back? - Immediately.

- You are to report now. - Strange!

I think I misunderstood him.

He isn't bad at heart. I'm happy.

He has finally realised that he needs me.

- How about making him happier? - Nothing lost.

The heroine of the movie you that are going to direct is...

Ms. Shanti.

Shanti.

Yes. Even after losing the case, she might not have returned.

But...

- Then why has she returned? - This we cannot tell you.

If we tell you, you will refuse to come with us.

- And we're here to take you. - Then how do we tell you?

Get out! I said get out!

What's the matter, sahib?

- Bill? - One Rupee. Thirteen Annas.

Three Annas more, please.

What happened? Why don't you speak?

Suresh didn't come?

- What did he say? - Get out.

- Get out. - Get out.

You saw that? What more can I do?

How far can we help a man who has turned against himself?

Don't get me wrong. Our doors will always stay open for him.

Now that you're here, someday he will surely come back.

Welcome.

Do you like my new apartment?

I have everything. A roof to protect me from rain and sun.

A floor to go to bed.

Oh you're standing... Wait.

Here you are.. The latest design in sofas.

No one else in town has it.

Sit.

- Do you still knit sweaters? - That was the last one.

I'll start knitting once again.

To your comeback!

You don't drink poison in times of joy.

They don't drink poison?

Is that line out of your latest film?

This is no poison, nor elixir.

Alcohol, that last resort for chronic dreamers.

That excitement of fame and success. The euphoria of wealth and love.

Those who have lost all, seek refuge in this.

The boss is making a big film.

He needs you to direct it.

He needs me? Or you?

You, by far more than myself.

Shanti, we have always understood each other.

So don't refuse me.

I know. You have returned just to help me find work.

Why should I return just for your sake? Who are you to me?

You just spoke of the headiness of fame of wealth.

That's what I'm back for. Not for you.

If you're a good actress, I am an old director too.

That's why I have come to you. I know I can perform the best with you.

That's why I'm interested in having you back at the company. Period.

Thanks.

After ages, someone has lauded my direction.

- For this happy occasion, one more! - Don't! Not any more!

- This is an occasion, Shanti! Let me! - It's going to destroy you.

- I won't let you drink. Never! - Why do you stop me?

Who am I to you?

We'll never misunderstand each other.

Never.

You know...

now that I have lost all else...

I have only one thing left in me.

My pride.

I give you my pride to keep.

If you still wish, take me to him.

What do you wish?

You want me to come?

Be patient, friend. Business is slack.

When I get the loan, I'll pay you everything.

Still at the books? Accounting never ends.

Please, have you dinner first.

You have given me shelter, Anwar.

In return, these small jobs...

What a thing to say, sir! For years, I have been in your employ.

It's your own garage.

Baby is here!

Pammi.

All grown up!

Anwar.

Don't tell her...

anything about me.

Don't tell her anything about me.

- Air in the rear wheels. - Very well.

Hello, Baby.

Anwar! It's you!

Anwar you?

- Is this place yours? - Yes.

Anwar, where's Daddy? Do you know his whereabouts?

No. I haven't seen him for long.

Surely, you've heard something.

I came here looking for him.

Baby wanted to take you home. She is getting married.

Married?

Pammi is getting married?

My daughter's wedding!

Who are you?

What do you want this time?

I have lost everything.

Everything.. then what for?

Oh yes.

I bought your Daddy's house back. If you wish to have it.

No, I just came to ask his whereabouts.

His whereabouts?

He isn't where he was yesterday.

Tomorrow, he won't be where he is today.

He doesn't even know his own whereabouts. How can I?

Tell me, when you met him the last time, where was he?

When?

Was it yesterday? Or the day before?

Or...

Or was it last week?

No...

last month.

I can't remember.

Days come, days go, I cannot remember.

I can remember nothing but those memories.

What! You will work as an extra?

Yes Musa, I got to buy a gift.

Musa.

You'll give me a make-up, won't you?

It's my daughter's wedding.

I told you, I'll do it for you.

What say?

Friend in need.

Brilliant! As in need to drink.

You know whom you have the honour of serving?

"Is here."

Have you seen the movie "Devdas"?

Devdas.

- He did a bit role in that? - Ass. He directed "Devdas".

Director? I'm not an ass. You are.

- What did you say? - I say you are an ass.

- You are? - You are an ass.

- You! - You are an ass.

Come on, get up!

You are an ass.

I will show you who I am.

I will kill you.

- Beat him. - Stop it!

Move.

Get him.

Get up.

You get drunk and then you get into a brawl?

Walk straight. You get drunk, and then you start a riot?

Sir.. you?

At this cheap joint?

What a shame! Go home, sir.

- Who was he? - Famous film director.

He had his heyday. But in this film-line you never know.

He used to up there in the skies! Today, he is in the gutters.

Get up. Hurry up!

You didn't hear? Come in for make-up.

Hurry up.

Lights off.

Say Ready. Gopal, get the extra.

Yes, sir.

Come here.

You know your lines?

Come along.

- Will he be able to say his lines? - Yes.

Sit here.

Head bent. You remember the dialogue? Say it.

I'm looking for peace too. Eternal peace.

Madam, please come.

On the lights.

- Come on. Move from there. - Okay.

Ready, madam?

Listen.

Only those who have nowhere to go come here.

Are you lost too?

What are you staring at? Say your line.

Please repeat your line Madam.

Are you lost too?

Gopal, what have you brought? An idiot? Throw him out.

Call another extra. Come on. Out!

That's company property. Here's your rag

Mr. Sinha.

Mr. Sinha.

"Fly, fly far thirsty bee."

"There is no nectar here."

"Where paper flowers blossom..."

"Not in this garden."

"Where innocence is lost."

"Hopes are dashed."

"One hand gives..."

"A hundred snatch it away."

"This game has been going on..."

"Forever."

"Alas."

"They all part..."

"One by one, they all part."

"I have seen a world full of love."

"One by one, they all part."

"What have I found..."

"From this world?"

"Tears alone..."

"Nothing else remains."

"Flowers and flowers..."

"Blossomed in my gardens."

"Even thorns... I have no hopes for."

"Here, in a world of greed..."

"They all part..."

"One by one, they all part."

"I had seen a world full of love."

"They all part one by one."

"They all part one by one."

- It's exactly like that. - Yes. It's exactly like that.

Who's that in the director's chair?

Did you shut the gates properly?

How did he get in?

Mr. Sinha.

Mr. Sinha.

Mr. Sinha.

Mr. Sinha.

What's this crowd? Pick him up

Today is the heroine's last date. We must finish by six-thirty.

Why are you staring at me? Have you never seen a dead man?

Take it away. Boys.

Full lights! Lights on!
