- Yes come on.

No matter where you see, there

And everyday there are

thousands more born.

To live like dogs.

Look 3... 2.

I don't know why are they living?

Eating crap. Living like crap.

Dying like crap.

You take your community

for instance.

Thousands are scattered

here and there.

You live in your houses.

There are many born everyday

and many die everyday.

Thank god, soon enough

i will leave india.

Far from all this crap.

Can i ask you one thing anwar?

Why did you all go to pakistan

during freedom?

The muslims were

told during freedom...

...that whether you go to pakistan

or stay in india.

You will get equal rights.

But that did not happen.

Good one.

I still could not understand,

that why did they lie to us?

You are right friend.

They should not have lied.

Mummy says, no matter what

you say but don't lie.

Shall we go to see a film,

'jhooth bole kawwa kaate'?

What ravi? You just keep joking.

By the way the scores are 6-5.

No, no 6-5.

6-5 i am winning.

Look crow.

Greetings.

Come anwar, shahjahan made

taj mahal for mumtaz.

Even i will make a small

taj mahal for my meera.

Look at this, isn't it wonderful.

I will make it.

Before i die.

In the name of my love.

In the name of my meera.

And tell me, how is mehru?

Fine. Her mother is always asleep

after taking sleeping pills.

And mehru hates india.

She wants to go to america.

She thinks that mtv is america.

She considers britney

spears as her idol.

What is so bad in it?

If someone wants to make someone...

...her idol then what

is so bad in it?

Look anwar, if you

really love mehru...

...then you will have to

respect her thoughts.

By the way, who is britney spears?

Hi.

Hail bhole.

She is the one.

She is good.

Go.

- Come.

I will not be able to come.

And in this guise not at all.

It is so that the today's

world cannot recognise god.

They might throw both of us out.

Now you go, and buy all the

cassettes of britney aunty.

Okay i will go, i will

just go and come back.

Do come back but.

Listen.

No master pasha.

Keep it, look you

don't earn but i do.

Go now.

And yes, don't start dancing here.

I won't, i swear on britney aunty.

Now you are making me swear too.

Hail bhole, go.

After 11th of september, america

could not wait anymore.

But the attacks that

are happening on us.

What is the government

doing for that?

This is our question.

I agree, that we don't

have big buildings...

...like the world trade centre

that are in america.

But we have temples, shrines,

and pilgrimages.

What is the government

doing to protect them?

Our party says that,

we are fighting to...

...save the hindu tradition.

To save the hindu customs

and traditions.

To save the marathi customs

and traditions.

And i call out to the people.

I call out to all the people.

I call out to all

the people of india.

That they help us in this fight.

'Lndia's old customs

and traditions.'

'To save the hindu customs

and traditions.'

'That is all i wanted to say.'

Jai hind!

Adil.

- Yes.

When i say cut, only then ask

the people to clap. - Okay.

Go, go, go.

Keeps sitting.

Is everything okay, come on.

What is this?

- Sir, the shots.

Movies are not made on papers.

You see through the camera.

Tell the crowd to move from there.

Okay sir.

- Tell them to move there.

It looks empty there.

The eyes are like spears.

The eyelids are like lances.

These eyebrows are like swords.

This is the place where you

will find all the weapons.
