- Come on!

- Sir! Sir, I've..

- Come on.

- Sir..

- Come on!

Yes, all right.

Come on. Get in.

Get in!

Billu, don't take this

very seriously.

Don't think about it.

The lawyer's fees have been arranged.

Just assume that is was

something in the past..

..or some nightmare and forget it.

"I search for it with moist eyes."

"I don't know where my house is."

"Oh, God, tell me."

"Why did you punish me like this?"

"Breaking all relationships.."

"abandoning all these memories.."

"with this sorrow.."

"where do I go?"

"Breaking all relationships.."

"abandoning all these memories."

"with this sorrow.."

"where do I go?"

"Oh, Lord."

"I had a small house and

I was find of happy."

"What did you gain by taking

it away from me?"

"I had a small house and

I was kind of happy."

"What did you gain by taking

it away from me?"

"All I have now is my life."

"Should I also give

up that as well?"

"Breaking all relationships.."

"abandoning all these memories.."

"with this sorrow.."

"where do I go?"

"Breaking all relationships.."

"abandoning all these memories.."

"with this sorrow.."

"where do I go?"

Look, who is there? Sahir

Khan's sister-in-law!

"abandoning all these memories.."

"with this sorrow.."

Where are you running to?

Show us your disgraced face.

Did your brother-in-law come?

We didn't see him.

He must've come at night.

"with this sorrow.."

"where do I go?"

- Mr. Tiwari?

- Yes.

- Is the garland, the flowers and the bouquet ready?

- Yes.

Okay.

- Did you test the microphone and the speakers?

- Twice.

Firecrackers?

- I've given them to the peon.

- Okay.

- And the school band.

- They are waiting.

Okay.

Sahir's secretary said that

he'll leave by 5pm.

- It means he will be here by 530pm.

- Right.

Mom, hurry up! That's enough!

- That will do.

- Wait! Celebrities will come there.

Dress up properly.

Give me some money.

What if I get hungry?

Ask your dad for money?

If you have some, give it to

us. Otherwise, forget it.

- Won't you talk to your dad?

- No.

Come on, Duggu. Everyone has left.

Gunja!

Mr. Ram Khilawan, please wait for me.

Everyone is going to see him.

Can I ask you something?

Do you really know Sahir Khan?

How does that affect our lives

whether I know him or not?

I've seen a lot of his movies.

I wish I could see

him in person once.

If you permit me..

Go.

Wait.

It must be crowded.

Don't go alone.

- Come on. Roll it out!

- Yes.

Hurry up!

Stop the jeep! Turn-off the engine.

- Come on, Master.

- Yes.

- Has Sahir Khan come?

- Not yet.

- We've come on time.

- Yes.

- Go tell the school staff what I've thought about.

- Yes.

Go on.

We've inspected the stage.

- Is everything ready at the gate? - Let's check.

- Hello.

My boss, Doom..

Mr. Daamchand has come.

So what can I do?

He says that if members of the

administration request him..

..he can give a speech

about Sahir Khan.

That would be a great honour for us.

But he has a condition.

You have to seat him next

to Mr. Sahir Khan.

- Why next to him? We'll seat him in his lap.

- Wonderful!

Get lost! You fool!

Move!

Move aside!

Did they agree?

No.

What did they say?

- Should I tell you?

- Out, you fool.

They said, 'Tell that rascal to

get lost or sit in some corner.'

- Did anyone hear it?

- No.

If anyone in the village finds

out, then you're dead.

- I've never seen such crowd in Budbuda.

- Yes.

Mr. Sahir is on his way.

And keep water bottles

on the stage and.. Hey!

Come on. Move ahead!

Hey, photographer, as soon as

I put a garland around Sahir Khan..

..take a photograph. Do you get it?

I don't want excuses like you felt

like sneezing or you were pushed.

Got it?

Our faces should be

very clearly seen.

Oh, my God! Look at him.

If Mr. Sahir sees him at the gate,

he will go back immediately.

- Come on. Move ahead!

- Move ahead!

Madam, don't worry.

Please go. I'll handle him.

Move! Please! Please move!

Mr. Dubey, what are you doing here?

Sahir Khan thinks he is

a big-shot. He maybe?

I'm doing my duty.

As soon as he comes,

I'll put a garland around him.

And my job is done.

Mr. Dubey, if you wait here who

will give the welcome speech.

What? Me?

Why are you nodding your head?

How can I give a speech?

Should I give an impromptu speech?

The speech is ready.

Just go through it.

Read it on stage.

This is not an exam.

What do I do with this garland?

As soon as the speech is over,

you can put a garland around him.

- Yes.

- Come on. Move!

Hey, photographer, stay close

to stage. Very close.

And like I told you.

Click the photographs quickly.

There's a seat here. Look.

- Who wants to sit at the back? I'll sit in front.

- Okay.

- Come, Mr. Dubey.

- I'm memorising the speech.

- But when I speak..

- Go in.

I don't want any interference.

Don't disturb me.

Hey, open the door.

Hey, baldie.

Go away. Get up from here.

Get up. Don't you understand?

Go away!

Hello Mr. Bihari.

Yes, don't send him through

here. Close this road.

- Hey, go back.

- There is too much of a crowd here.

- What are you doing? Go back.

- Hey, go back. Get back.

Welcome, sir. Welcome.

- Welcome. - Thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you very much.

- Please come.

Please come.

- Welcome.

- Keep it.

- The children have done this.

- This way please.

- All this? - Yes.

- This way.

Thank you. Thank you, everyone.

Gullu!

Gullu!

Hey, don't look at him!

Doomchand is calling you.

Don't look over there.

Beloved Mr. Sahir Khan, important

people from Budbuda village..

..my colleagues and students.

Don't be afraid. I'm not

going to talk too much.

I still don't understand

what's happening..

..whether it's a dream or it's real?

None of us would have imagined..

..that such a famous person would

come to a village called Budbuda..

..and would come face

to face with us.

Mr. Sahir takes us back to the

characters he portrayed..

..the songs he sang and

all those joyous moments.

Mr. Sahir is one of great

artists of our country.

And I don't need to

provide any proof.

- Please walk fast.

- Countless national..

..and international awards

make good witnesses.

It is an honour for the

Gyan Bharati school committee..

..to welcome such a

prestigious person.

Every Indian is proud

to take his name.

He has rendered our grief

and happiness on screen..

..and has given us a golden

reason to live.

I request Mr. Sahir Khan,

the dream maker..

..to guide our students

and talk to us.

Mr. Sahir.

Please, sir.

Sahir. Sahir. Sahir. Sahir..

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Sahir. Sahir. Sahir. Sahir..

Down!

Thank you.

A big hello to the respected people

onstage and everyone else.

And lots of love.

The film had to be shot in a village.

And I just uttered the name

of your village. Budbuda.

In my childhood, I'd heard that

your village is very beautiful.

Madam principal is right.

I had never thought

I would come to you..

..and become a part of

your everyday lives.

Actually, it is not necessary..
