Aaja Nachle

Yes! Diya speaking.

Diya, your teacher is taking

his last breathes.

He's dying.

Oome quick.

Diya!

Diya!

Yes, l'm coming.

Don't eat that much chili.

You will die some day.

Have this sweet.

l won't die that quick.

Until l fill this town with art.

First come of out

these round stairs.

All of the town

call you a madman.

Art doesn't need town,

towns need art.

Whatever!

Alright, l'll come again

tomorrow to learn.

Only if l have the right mood.

Go away, you witch.

You aren't doing any

favor if you come to learn.

l'm saying if you don't pay the

bill electricity will be disconnected.

Yes, it is.

Go you have electricity.

Let me have my food.

Have it.

Let's go.

Why haven't you had your

dinner yet?

Does he ever eat without you?

Mother, why did you married

with this big blackmailer?

You still can change yourself.

Stay away from that

Ajanta ''Bakwasi'' (Orap).

What ''Bakwasi''?

You entertain yourself with Lata

Mangeshkar and Mumtaz singing.

And when you daughter sings

and dances, it's ''Bakwasi'' to you.

What are you saying dude?

Why do you talk to me like that?

Are you out of your mind?

There's is something as Style!

You won't go to Ajanta.

What are you doing aunty?

Najma, don't.

- l'm going.

Let her go,

it won't take anything if

she does one program.

You haven't passed through

that Ajanta place.

There's always voices of singing

and dances coming from there.

Don't know what would

have been going on there?

lf there are voices of dancing and

singing then it must be it.

We are all ready.

lt's a must see.

A new from Ajanta!

He's back again.

What are you doing?

What are you doing witch?

He's Steve.

From National Geographic Magazine

from America.

He's here to take pictures

of lndian artists.

You too should have your

photos taken.

Listen, take him with

you to see the town.

lf you don't mind.

We don't mind.

How are you Mohan?

l was craving for your tea today.

Tea and hotel both are yours.

Oome, sit.

He's Mr. Steve.

Oame from America?

Why?

Hi, l'm Steve.

Why don't you bring

some Pakoras with Ohili.

Right away.

Prepare 3 cups of tea

and some Pakoras.

O stupid,

You'll keep on serving Pakoras

and the Whiteman will

fly away with the girl.

We have fixed your marriage.

What?

With Mohan

You'll finish your program

by tomorrow.

Mohan has prepared for the engagement

on the day after tomorrow.

Buy whatever you want for

the occasion by tomorrow.

Am l doing anything wrong?

No,

Art is what's coming

out of your heart.

And what stays in the

heart is darkness.

You're not born to

follow this world,

you're born to dance

on your own heartbeats.

Spread your wings and fly.

Fly away my child.

l called many times from America.

But the phone kept on ringing.

Later l found out from Najma

that Mom and Papa left Shamli

because of the embarrassment.

Don't know where?

Najma was about to get married.

So she was restricted

from talking to me.

l called my teacher too, but no one

wanted to hear his name.

Don't know what people might

have done to him.

After going to America, Steve

didn't remain the Steve l met before.

Then l realized.

That he and l were never

meant for each other.

Till then l was already pregnant.

Then you came in to my life.

l found a new reason to live.

l forgot Shamli

and started a new life in America.

With the person l love

most in the world.

l love you mom.

Thank you,

l didn't know that.

You took too long.

He's gone.

He passed away last night.

He was saying, he's done

with the drama of this world.

He will continue in the

next world.

Witch!

You haven't stopped being late.

Have you?

How are you?

What's wrong?

Are you mad at me?

l haven't called you

since all those years...

l didn't tell you how l was

doing and how Ajanta was?

What could l tell you?

Since you left... seemed like

Ajanta had lost it's soul.

And then gradually everyone

had left Ajanta alone.

Ohildren had stopped coming

to Ajanta.

Their parents weren't

allowing them to come.

They were afraid, there might

be another Diya.

Who could have be

like you?

Ajanta is finished.

Look, l won't lie to you.

l'm dying.

How? Why? There's no use

of talking about that.

l don't have time for all this,

neither Ajanta does.

Diya, these people are trying

demolish Ajanta.

Just for the sake of money.

An old, this old temple of art,

they're trying to destroy.

l and Doctor, we fought a lot.

We cried a lot.

We pleaded a lot.

But who will listen to us?

You save Ajanta.

You can save Ajanta.

Please save Ajanta from

breaking apart.

Save Ajanta.

He has ordered to demolish Ajanta.

Who has?

Raja Sahab!

Who Raja Sahab?

How can he demolish Ajanta?

Ajanta is the property of this town.

Whole town is with him.

But why?

What will he get by

getting Ajanta demolished?

Mall something,

shops and all.

Mall?

- Yes.

Shopping mall?

- Yes exactly.

Raja Sahab has decided that

he will build a shopping mall for

the people after demolishing Ajanta.

Who is Raja Sahab to decide that?

His father used to be the prince

of this area before lndependence.

He's a Member of Parliament.

He's also done some education

from abroad.

Now he has also won

the elections. So...

l will go and meet him.

Don't worry.

Ajanta will be safe.

l need to see Mr. Uday Singh,

l have an appointment.

ls Mr. MP coming or not?

Not MP, it's Raja Sahab.

Have you told him

that l'm waiting?

Have you told him

that l'm waiting?

Uncle, it's burnt.

l've been waiting here

for 20 minutes.

Hey, can l offer you some pizza?

No, will you call your

father, please?

l'm afraid he can't come.

lt has been 20 minutes

since l'm waiting here.

And it has been 3 years

since he's passed away.

l'm here with meet Raja Uday Singh,

MP of this area.

You have.

Uday.

You?

l don't look like my father

but still l'm Raja.

Pizza?

- No thanks.

l'm Diya Srivastav.

Have a seat please.

l've made it myself.

- Oh great.

So what can l do for you?

l've come from New York.

lt's obvious.

l wanted to talk about

Ajanta Theatre with you.

Right, those ruins?

That's not ruins.

You are not political. Right?

l'm a dancer.

l'm a choreographer.

From New York.

All l want to say is that place

is not for shopping.

lt's for theatre.

So, when did the theatre

held there last time?

Madam

Many Non-resident lndians come

here every years.

They do the welfare work for a

couple of months and go back.

You too do the same.

Don't interfere with the town plans.

So you'll remove the heritage of

this town for the sake of your mall.

Without thinking and understanding anything.

The day when people start feeding with

heritage, l'll let you run the theater.

Till then let me do

it in my own way.

Anything else l can do for you?

- So is it all about feeding people?

Don't they need anything else?

Being together, having fun, To have

happiness of doing something together.

Does that happen at your Ajanta?

lt used to be.
