to see your princess?

Rawna thinks he's Spiderman,

no less!

Rawna fears nothing

on land or sea or mall.

An all-girl play!

It's sure to be a ball!

Pretty little missies

dancing in a row!

Just have to take photos

of the Khan Mahal show!

Never seen a girl before?

Stop being such a lech!

For this you'll dare the lion's den?

That's a bit of a stretch!

Sunny's neck still has marks

you know!

Don'! you even plan to go!

No case, no hitch!

Where the girls are,

Rawna too must go!

Let's see who can stop him,

which ordinance, or law!

Bugger!

If that happens Uncle,

I swear I'll go berserk!

Tayeb! 'What's up?

Finished all your work?

All done The Eid party

will proceed as planned...

...but if they come too,

well l'll be damned!

'Who're you talking about?

That Mitter boy! The lout!

He'll bend but not break,

he's that stubborn!

You're so generous

you invite everyone!

But must we have them too,

those bloody hooligans?

I'm telling you straight,

if they dare cross the gate'

'you won't do a thing!

Must you rise to every bait?

Got arrested the other day

for knifing that guy at the fair!

I had to plead

with the Commissioner!

Cause any more trouble,

God help you!

I'm telling you, today

no trouble will you brew!

Najma, listen dear -

Zulekha turns a deaf ear

to all I say.

You tell her - no male role

or moustache for her today!

Parvez wants to see her

directly after the play.

They say all the girls will be

dressed up as men?

So Rawna, what's the point

of your going then?

Rawna's eyes can clearly tell

a girl from a guy

To enter the lion's den

you must bid your fears goodbye!

Well then, Parvez?

What news of business?

By Allah's blessings

and your good will...

...the going has been great.

But it's made me grayer still!

Time's on your side now -

a racehorse unstoppable!

Now If Zuleikha is

willing & tractable'

I'll finalize the wedding before I go...

Sure!

She likes you, I know.

And yet...

...she's still so young!

Be prepared to adjust...

No problem Sir.

I was wondering...

...if there's any good land

here for the taking

Come on quick!

Uncle wants you there

So now I have to pour dye

on that greybeard's hair!

What?

You go ahead Bro.

I... I'll come in a minute or so.

Please Aunty! Quick!

Let's hide & play a trick!

Now...

I'll hide behind

the curtain over there

Please Aunty,

you're not to tell anyone I'm here!

Abbu's chosen Parvez, It's clear...

0 Ma! 'What's this! A crook!

Don't scream! Don't scream!

If they find me,

they'll change the way I look!

Wh-who are you? Where from?

I'm Ronojoy. Bishu Mitter's son

Ya Allah! Mitter!

Shhh! Shhh! Shhh!

Not so loud!

If they find us, it'll be a clincher!

And who may you be?

Sabir Khan's daughter.

Zulekha Julie

You live in Mirrorsville too?

A Parhosi (neighbour)"!

Parhosi? You mean neighbour?

Oh God! They're here!!!

Julie! What's going on, pray?

15 minutes in the toilet?

Come out I say!

Oh dear!

Oh my God! Such a tummy ache!

And liquid potty! Uff!

He'll kill us both! Shh!

No acting today for me!

Please Tabbu Bhai, ask them to

replace me with'

...Simi!

Excuse me!

Bless you!

Julie baby, open the door!

I've brought you medicine'

Don't need it Ammijaan,

I have it here with me.

I feel, I feel l can hold him

but he eludes my embrace

I feel, I feel I can hold him

but he eludes my embrace

0 he lives so near my place'

There's a Mirrorland beside my home

A neighbour lives near me...

...whom never with my eyes I see

If this neighbour should

ever touch me..

...my hellish woes would forever ee

So Shiraj & Lalan live side by side

Yet a million miles apart!

A neighbour lives near me...

'Whom never with my eyes...

...do I see

There's a Mirrorland beside my home

A neighbour lives near me'

'Whom never with my eyes do I see'

So? Who did you get to see?

Which bud captured your heart?

Rose or jasmine?

Neither rose nor jasmine,

oh gosh!

On her upper lip,

alight moustache'

What? A moustachioed miss!

You risked 3 lives for this?

We nearly got pickled!

Oooh! How it tickled!

Tickled? Oh gee!

Did you, or did she?

All three bastards are

here in the garden!

They mustn't escape!

Set the dogs on them!

What now, my friend?

Run before they start a mayhem!

Run! This way! This way!

Slowly! Slowly!

Carefully!

Biloo? Montey?

Where the f...k are they?

God keep you

Good night

Take the dogs away. Go!

Where the hell has Rawna gone?

Gone on ahead for sure

Run on, run on!

Wait! We're not done!

Too much light here saala!

Keep aiming, come on!

Good shot, saala!

There's a Mirrorland beside my home

A neighbour lives near me'

'Whom never with my eyes...

...do I see

'Whom never with my eyes...

...do I see

Raw no'

Rawnojoy'

If ever we meet, what joy!

But who knows how

far away you are'

Here! Right here!

Julie! 'What's wrong with you?

His voice still rings in your ear?

Not wrong, here I am.

Go on, sing again for me!

You climbed up that pipe?

Are you crazy?

Listen! I want to see you again!

So do I, but when?

How?

Where? - Where?

Give me your number!

I'll call you tonight'

Give me your hand, let me write'

First time?

What do you mean...?

...how could you tell?

Rawna knows all this quite well!

Eesh! Very smart!

You'll get a smack for sure!

Let me show you how...

Come!

Once more'

Your lips were closed

the first time!

Now you're learning just fine!

OK, OK! That's enough!

Now you'd better go!

But how will you get out?

By now the gates are closed!

Don't worry.

...these walls are easy to scale.

Hurry up! It's really late!

I'll text you tonight without fail.

Julie bibi! Your Ammi wants you.

Coming F am!

Bye Rawno. Please be careful!

Julie! Your mother is waiting!

Shhh! Fati! Go inside

I said I'm coming!

Take care, Rawno.

Text me first thing!

Can't sleep tonight!

All your fault Khan!

All your fault Mitter!

My slumber too, is gone!

What morons we are!

We missed our chance!

Curse these hands of mine!

Should've guessed before.

3 grown men in burkhas

come to wine & dine!

Don't talk like a jerk!

Could've been guests too!

Right! Pull off burkhas at random

get beaten black and blue!

Not beaten then but now!

Cool it Tayeb bro!

A knife is outdated.

Time you got a gun!

He who shoots from a distance

is a coward's son!

Come Tungsten, come & fight!

It's a real turn on!

Sharp at 8 o'clock

ofoading starts at the dock

My informer tells me Tayeb's lot

will be present at the spot...

...to corner all the stock.

We're ready to resist,

we'll ay their butts!

They'll forget their fathers' names

if they mess with us!

Sunny, you will take the lead

MW, Pappu - cover'.!

The rest create a shindy...

...they come close, they suffer!

All pepped up I see,

but keep your senses keen.

Not just a few broken bones

I'll sweep Khan's business clean!

And Santosh..

...get Montey into the grind.

And look at that son of mine!

Posing like a lover divine!

Faffing all day

with ganja and guitar!
