Akele Hum Akele Tum Page #7

- Surely she can do!

- What nonsense are you speaking?

- Do you think Pawan Malhotra has...

...signed you because he

likes your rotten songs?

- We were supposed to sign this film.

- You've got it because of your wife.

Don't believe it, d'you? Why! It's

commonplace. Come here, Mr. Tolaram.

- Come here, Mr. Tolaram. - Yes.

Come here. - What's up, gentlemen?

Tell him... go on! Tell him how

he has landed this film.

Oh forget it!

- Go on, speak up. Tell him!

- He has scored some very good songs.

- To hell with the songs! You had

signed us. - Well yes, I did...

- On his wife's say-so, you threw us

out! Correct? - Nothing of the sort!

- She had merely... - D'you

hear that, Mister two-in-one?

It happens dear. Everything

goes in this business.

- People do use their good-looking

wives too. - Oh yes. They do.

Look... look at what's going on

over there. Go on... over there.

Someone bashes me up... and you're

trying to patch up! What's going on?

That's true! He couldn't

cook anything. Not even eggs!

- Really?! How is it now? - Nowadays

he has picked up a few things.

- He makes a dish out of potatoes

now and then. - Of potatoes?! - Yes.

Sometimes, there are excess of

turmeric in it. But, I make do.

Oh hello, Rohit. Come in.

Go downstairs, Sunil.

One minute please, daddy, I want to tell mummy...

I asked you to go downstairs!

What's up, Rohit?

Wait for me downstairs.

Did you speak to Pawan

Malhotra about me?

Did you ask him to replace me with

Amar Kaushik as a music director?

- Why are you asking me this?

- Did you tell him, or, didn't you?

Give me an answer, Kiran.

Yes.

- Why?

- Because I wanted to help you.

I don't want your help! I

don't want anyone's help!

- Won't I succeed without your help?

- That's not the case, Rohit.

D'you want to prove that you're

so big that you can make anyone?

I've never thought of it that

way, Rohit. I did it because...

...I know that you can score

better music than those fellows.

That's what I wanted

to prove on my own.

And now, you've spoiled everything.

People will say that I've

succeeded because my wife helped me.

My success will never be mine!

- I can't do it! - Tell Pawan

Malhotra that I won't do this film!

Don't lose your head, Rohit.

Pawan Malhotra liked your music.

That's why he has signed

you. I haven't forced him to.

What does it matter if a few

people tell you a lot of nonsense?

I'm your wife. If I don't

help you, who else will?

I see! So can you walk out on me,

or come to my aid at your sweet will?

You don't want to help me. You just

want to show off your magnanimity.

You want to show me how

small I am, compared to you.

And you want to show your concern

for me though you live apart.

You've always thought ill of

me. You've always got me wrong.

Why must I try to understand

you in the first place?

I don't want to understand you.

Nor do I want to see you ever!

Don't ever try to meet me again!

Stop! Rohit!

Don't step inside this house ever again!

- Listen to me! Please!

Come to your senses!

How did all this come here?

Look, Daddy! My birthday

presents! Mummy sent these over.

This is a military jeep. It

turns around whenever it collides.

Look! Here's a remote control car.

Why can't we live in Mummy's house?

- Don't you like this house? - This

home is fine, but... - What of it?

But her house is so

big... and it's so nice.

She has 3 TV sets. We

don't have a single one.

What did Mummy tell you

at this party yesterday?

- She said that she loves me very much.

- What did you tell her?

That she's the best Mummy on earth.

So now you want to

live with Mummy, do you?

- I'm asking you something.

- Do you know something?

Mummy is going to buy the

battery-operated car for me.

- Did you ask her for it?

- No, I just told her that I like it.

She said that she'd buy it for me.

Why did you have to ask her for it?

I was supposed to buy it for you.

- You haven't got it yet.

- But I was to get it for your birthday.

- And now, my birthday is gone.

- All right. I know that.

I'll get you that car today.

Understood? I'll get

it today! For you.

My car is coming today!

- How much does that car cost?

- 5000 Rupees. - 5000?! - Yes.

- It's a bit too much for that car.

- Fixed price. Take it or leave it.

- An advance of 5000 Rupees?!

- I need the money, Sir.

So you need all of 5000 Rupees!

D'you hear that, Mr. Godwill?

You may deduct a thousand rupees

every month out of my salary.

- It'd be adjusted within 5 months.

- Will you be here for 5 months?

Seems like you've got a chance

to sing in some third rate film.

And now, you're looking for

chance to give me the slip.

No, Sir.

That isn't the case at all!

I've forgotten these dreams.

The only person I have to

myself is my 6 year old son.

Yesterday was his birthday.

And I had promised him a gift.

A gift... worth 5000 bucks!

D'you hear that. Mr. Godwill?! I've

never given a single gift to my son.

And my good man wants to give a

gift worth 5000 bucks to his son!

You've spun a good spiel. But, I'm

not one to be taken in my your story.

- Please try to understand...

- Don't waste my time. And back to work!

Let's get working. We don't have

a circus happening here, do we?

- So you won't let me have the

money will you? - Not at all.

What are you doing?! I'll call

the police! Stop him, Godwill!

What hooliganism is this?

Put it down on my account.

Stop him!

Catch him!

Snatch the money from him!

Know something, aunt Farida? Daddy

is getting me a battery-powered car.

Is that so? That's

good news, I say.

It's getting late. Time to have dinner.

I won't eat now.

I'll eat when Daddy comes home.

No knowing when he'll return.

I must go home and get my

kids to do their homework.

- Go on... eat your dinner quickly.

- No. I won't eat now.

Very well. I'm leaving the food

here. Eat it when you feel hungry.

When did you return? I

didn't even get to know!

Where's the car, Daddy?

- Why haven't you eaten yet?

- I was waiting for you.

You mustn't stay awake so

late. I don't like this at all.

I was waiting so we

could eat together.

- What's happened, Daddy?

- I lost my son. I have lost.

Don't cry.

- Please don't cry, Daddy.

- My son asked me for only one thing.

And I couldn't get it for him.

This is the worst

defeat in my life.

I don't want that car, Daddy.

Really... I don't want it.

Here... I have some money.

And I'm going to get more.

And I'm going to

get that car for you.

But, please stop

drinking, Daddy. Please.

I'll get that car

for you, Sonu. I will.

- Mr. Pawan Malhotra has summoned

me here. - Please follow me.

Please forgive me, Rohit. I've had

you summoned here using the alias.

Else, you wouldn't have come.

I want to discuss something.

Is anything worth discussing?

Please sit down, Rohit.

You had told me something the other

day. All I want to know is whether...

...it is your final decision.

- Why?

Are you still firm about
