And smiled like a blossoming flower

An old vanity bag

In the smile of her

In the heat of moonlight

A dog whelped

A coffin for the dead moon

I wrote such a line

On the back of an auto rickshaw

Passed high school,

Isn't it difficult?

Did you really want this kind of life?

Go to the village, and take

OK?

The life of a theater owner...

No one knows what will happen.

These people are not good.

They may do anything to you.

Five guys have come...

How will you pay their salaries?

Didn't I tell you

That one will never

Toss it out as scrap.

The audience didn't see it...

What are you doing Nikki'?

Shankranna made a film once.

It was never released.

I will release it.

I too feel the pain

But I don't think he would

I know him better than you.

Try and understand what I am saying!

There is nothing here.

Improving this place

He had no one but me.

If you want to stay, you can...

...if not...

If not?

You don't like me.

You want someone educated,

...well-dressed and

Not me!

Or is it that...

...you don't want me?

Don't you have a girl?

Why do you bother with

.And risk your girl's life too?

The sky fell to the ground

And the boat of my dreams drowned

The Earth turned barren

And my dreams lie shattered

My life itself is pawned

My dignity shamed on the streets

My memories sold for nothing

Left clutching nothing but straws

Why?

Isn't this your second

Will you sign a confession?

Can you tell me anything

What is this Lucia?

It's a dream pill.

That I know.

But what is a dream pill?

It's a cheesy name for a pill actually.

So...lucid, Lucia.

What is lucid dreaming?

Look, we all dream right?

We all have dreams which we

But, lucid dreaming,

Basically you get to chose

...so you can construct

Why is it harmful?

It's not harmful as long

Yeah, you are right.

About what?

That girl is lying...

She thinks if the

the court may grant euthanasia.

I can give you more information...

Please come,

Please buy the ticket brothers...

Hey Nikki, how are you?

Oh come, please...

Thanks for coming.

There's no one who I can call my own.

People inside...

...a lot of people

...Shankranna's dream...

...must come true.

Hi, Anna?

Thank you...

Why are there no servants?

I sent them off.

Why?

I didn't feel like

I like being alone.

Nikki...

I am sorry.

Shwetha, you have done

You don't have to be sorry.

I still love you...

Sorry about that...

it will heal quickly.

Why don't you like me acting?

I have to know.

I can't explain what or why.

One day you will

We will meet then.

OK?

Thank you

Are you in an illusion

Are you within the body

Are you in a dream

Are you in the intoxication

Are you in the whirlpool of love

The moment you left,

My heart is filled with your memories

Only you fill up

See that single teardrop

In the eye of that lonely cloud,

Who is that singing

Even though it cannot

This love is an illusion,

It hurts even when you are happy

The shadow of loneliness

Haunts me day and night

The word love spells trouble

When will you come?

It feels like my heart is stopped

The moment you vanished,

My heart yearns for your presence

My soul yearns to reconcile

This is a boat without an oarsman

And the agony of a lonely journey

It is a game of shadow boxing

I pray this gets over now

Are you in an illusion

Are you within the body

Are you in the whirlpool of love

Are you in a dream

Are you in the intoxication

Love found in an intoxicated dream

That looks so cool!

And the colors! So amazing!

So what? Do you like it?

Tell me! Do you like it?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Don't cry!

You must be happy!

Don't cry!

Shankranna...

I have readied the talkies.

I have released your picture...

Namaste...

while Gandhinagar mourns that

...a miracle is occurring here.

Who could imagine that

...would be released

The fortune of this ruined theater

Come, let's speak to them.

How are you?

I am so glad you called me...

I have missed you...

I don't know if you

But I still do...

Once in a while, I start to doubt...

I wonder if this is really a dream...

...what do you say?

It may be a nightmare...isn't it Nikki?

If it was only a dream,

It's to end this nightmare

What do you mean?

We were both so happy in real life...

...it's all my fault.

I remember you saying

I will find out for myself

I think I know why...

Shwetha, I love you...

Don't ever leave me ever again...

I am sorry, in this game of dreaming,

I too have hurt you...

Close your eyes...

What?

Close your eyes...

What do you feel right now?

I feel like going far

Nikki...

The confession papers are ready...

You may be right Sanjay...

They'll ask for strong evidence.

Who will believe in a dream pill?

This report will not work.
