Has Babumushai returned?
Friend.
- Yes, Anand?
Start the tape quickly.
Death is a poem...
Yet I have promised this
poem that someday I'll meet...
when sleep overcomes even
the painful sinking nerves...
The yellow moon rises
slowly in the sky...
when the sun sets at twilight
and the night is on the horizon...
It's neither dark nor bright
not night or day...
Babumushai!
Prakash, Dr Shastri...
No, I won't let you be
silent like this...
I've been listening to your
chatter for the last six months...
you've chewed my brains.
Talk to me now. Talk to me...
Babumushai!
Life and death is in the
hands of God, Excellency...
Neither can you change it
nor I.
We are puppets on a stage
whose strings are pulled by Him.
When how and who will go
no one can predict...
Anand never dies.
Joy never dies.

The Government of India honoured him with the Dada Saheb Phalke Award in 1999 and the Padma Vibhushan in 2001. He received the NTR National Award in 2001 and he also won eight Filmfare Awards. more…
