Wait. Stop. I'll do something.

- Do this. Wait at home.

- No!

I'll ask Uncle Sahir.

He's rich. We have to ask.

It's bad manners if we don't.

We can't just go there.

- I'll tell him, my kids want to watch the film being shot.

- Me too!

Yes, my wife and kids want to

watch the film being shot.

So when should I bring them?

He will say, 'Bring them today.'

So I'll take you this evening.

All right?

What kind of food does

he eat? He's glowing.

He must be consuming milk, almonds,

pistachios and cashew nuts.

He's a hero, not a wrestler. Fool!

His dog eats cashew nuts and

almonds every morning.

And cream mixed with saffron.

Ice-cream in the afternoon.

Grains with clarified

butter in the evening.

And some liquor at night.

- Even his dog..?

- Yes.

Not just Sahir, but

his dog is also rich.

Yes. The dog lives in such luxury?

Why am I not his dog?

The time of birth is important

if you have to be born as a dog.

And you were born at

an inauspicious time.

You just spread rumours.

- In a few days I'll tell you the truth.

- How?

I will write the lyrics

for his film songs.

Listen to him! He'll do the lyrics.

I just need a chance. One chance!

- I am very talented.

- Don't fool yourself.

I've just written a poem. Listen.

"Whenever I watch a film,

my heart goes.."

"Sahir! Sahir!"

- If he hears my poem..

- He'll run away from Budbuda.

- Don't laugh!

- Get going.

But remember, I'll go where

no man has gone before.

Cut it! Cut it!

- Stop here!

- Come on, boss. The film shoot has begun.

Move!

Inspector, we want to watch

the film being shot.

- This is Mr. Doomchand. - It's Daamchand!

- Yes, boss.

I want to invite

Mr. Sahir for dinner.

Nobody can talk to Mr. Sahir.

If you want to watch the film shoot..

..watch it from a distance

like the others.

Camera!

And action!

Cut it!

- Hurry up! - Move!

- Are you carrying a coffin?

- Move! My boss has arrived!

- Come on. Move! I want to meet Mr. Sahir.

Take me to the cheapest hospital.

Listen, where are you?

The principal is here.

What? Oh, my God!

She must be here to take

the children's fees.

Tell her I'm not here.

No, I won't lie.

If wives lie to save their husbands,

it's considered to be a good deed.

It's an old adage. Tell her.

How are you, Sister?

Is Gunja's father home?

No.

It doesn't matter. We are here

to give you some good news.

- Now you tell him.

- Yes.

The school committee has decided..

..that your kids' school

fees up till 12th grade..

..will be paid from the school fund.

Really?

It's such a big favour.

What favour? We're just

doing our duty.

Please come in.

- But you have to do us a favour.

- Yes, tell me.

We're poor, but we'll do whatever

we can for the kids.

Gunja's class teacher

has told me everything.

I've warned everyone in school

not to talk about this.

- Mr. Billu is not what he seems to be.

- What?

I mean, he has attended many

parent-teacher meetings in school.

When we spoke about the fees,

he never mentioned..

..that he is a friend of

such a big superstar.

He must to bring his friend for the

school's golden jubilee programme.

- Okay.

- Madam, no!

- Just a minute, madam. I can't do that.

- You said he was not at home.

- No, I..

- No, I was in the backyard.

Madam, I am very sorry.

I can't invite Mr. Sahir.

He and I..I and him..

Are not friends? That's what

you wanted to say, right?

Didn't I tell you Mr.

Billu would say that?

Men who praise themselves

are empty from within.

But a gem doesn't praise himself.

A gem! Madam, no! Please take a

seat. I'll tell you everything.

Get the cot.

The cot is broken.

One of its legs is loose.

Yes, my shops chair's

legs are also loose.

We're all in a similar state.

That's our plight.

That's why I had asked

you for some time.

We don't want a free-lunch.

We will pay for their education.

Madam said you shouldn't worry

about the fees. -Yes.

- Yes. Just bring Mr. Sahir..

- I can't bring him. And that's that.

Why can't you bring my

brother-in-law to school?

It's for the welfare of our children.

When you take us to meet him,

we'll invite him to the school.

Don't listen to him.

- I promise. We'll surely get Mr. Sahir Khan to school.

- No!

Yes. Your promise has

given us some relief.

We will leave now.

- Madam, she..

- Bye.

- Bye.

- Goodbye. Bye.

Driver, come here.

Our job is done.

Why did you promise them?

I can't bring him.

They are taking our kids back.

Think about that.

If you can't do it,

then I'll go myself.

I'll tell him I'm his friend's wife.

He has to listen to

his sister-in-law.

No. No! I'll look into it.

I'll look into it. You..

Sister-in-law?

Okay, everyone for Budbuda,

get down quickly.

Get down fast. Quickly.

Everyone for Budbuda,

quickly get down.

Let me just meet him!

- There he is! Billu, come here!

- Billu!

- Billu, don't run! Stop!

- Caught you!

- I'll pay all of you.

- No! No!

I'll pay all of you.

- You had a magic wand.

- I'll pay all of you.

You had such a magic wand in your

hand and you didn't use it.

Magic wand?

You are Sahir Khan's friend

and your shop is in shambles?

Not even fools come here.

Oh, so that's what it is.

Is this an ordinary matter?

- What?

- Why don't you flaunt it?

- Don't trouble Billu.

- I would if there was something to flaunt.

How long have you been friends

with Sahir Khan?

Let me open the shop. Get back.

Don't trouble Billu!

Billu is like my brother!

Taj Mahal is the pride of India.

Similarly, you are the

pride of Budbuda.

Now we respect you more

than ever before.

No! No! I'm the same

person I was before.

And I will always remain the same.

No! What should I say about

this new avatar of yours?

I couldn't sleep all night.

Ask me why?

- Why? Were there too many mosquitoes?

- No!

Because I was writing.

I wrote poems about you all night.

Everybody thinks my poems

are as good as you are.

All right, listen..

"He sharpens his moustache."

"Like a sword."

"In fear of his moustache.."

"Kaurava's army lost."

I have garlanded him.

"Billu, the Terrible."

"My Billu, the Terrible."

"Billu, the Terrible."

"My Billu, the Terrible."

"Billu can't be touched

by a thorn or a stone."

"Billu, the Terrible."

"Billu, the Terrible."

"My Billu, the Terrible."

"Billu is as sharp as blade."

"Like the lather of the soap."

"Like a fragrant perfume."

"There's no better

barber than Billu."

"There's no one more famous

in the world than him."

"There's no better

barber than Billu."

"There's no one more famous

in the world than him."

"Billu's scream is like

the bell of the cycle."

"Bunty's sandal is like

a cycle's handle."

"Billu's scream is like

the bell of the cycle."

"Bunty's sandal is like

a cycle's handle."

"Come on, paddle the cycle."

"My Billu, paddle the cycle."

barber than Billu."
