Stop this singing!

"Billu!"

I'm Sahir Khan.

Everywhere people are calling

out Sahir's name.

It has become a prayer of sorts.

Uncle Billu's friend is

such a handsome hero.

Where did they become friends?

- In college.

- College?

Has Billu been to college?

Of course. He teaches maths

and science to the children.

How did they become friends?

My brother-in-law was involved

in motorcycle accident.

Doctor had to operate.

It was such a big accident.

My husband had donated

a lot of blood to him.

They still say, my husband's blood

still runs through his body.

He had asked my husband

to work in films.

He wanted to make him a hero.

- I refused.

- Why?

These heroes hold and hug the

heroines. I don't like it.

And nowadays they also tattoo

their names on their arms.

I'll chop off both his arms.

The husband is a barber

and the wife is amazing.

They earn so much money in films.

My husband didn't join the movies..

..so my brother-in-law brought

the movies here.

He did this because

of his friendship.

- When he comes, do call us.

- Me too!

The film shoot will last all day.

So Uncle Sahir

has called us at night.

- Really?

- Yes.

- Duggu, take us with you.

- Yes.

We would have, but Uncle Sahir

doesn't like a crowd.

He's going to come to school.

You can see him there.

Such attitude! Let's go.

Dad is coming. Just

ignore him, okay?

Gunja! Duggu!

Gunja!

Gunja!

Well done! Well done!

You turned away from your father.

What children I have!

You should be punished.

Because of you, rumours have spread

in the village like a fire.

Like lightning. Light travels

faster than fire.

Like lightning! I've had no

peace for even a moment.

The principal has called

for a meeting.

I'll tell her I don't know him.

I can't bring Sahir Khan.

Okay, I won't talk

to you from now on.

Dad.

If you say that you can't bring

Uncle Sahir to school..

..then we'll never go to school.

Let's go.

Not just for the school..

..but it is a matter of pride for

the whole village of Budbuda..

..that Sahir Khan's friend's

children study in our school.

But Mr. Billu, you've

put us in a dilemma.

You've not brought any message

from Sahir Khan.

Is he going to come or not?

After 10 or 12 days the

film crew will go back.

If he is going to come, then we'll

have to make a lot of arrangements.

What is this?

- Mr. Billu?

- What?

- Did you talk to him?

- Yes.

I told him. And he refused.

He can't come because he's

busy in his film shoot.

Stop the film shoot for half an

hour. Does it make a difference?

Will there be an earthquake?

- There must be a lunch-break during the film shoot.

- No?

Yes. He can spare half an hour.

He is a famous man.

He would be busy.

He is your friend. You have

a right to force him to come.

We've waived off your children's

fees. We didn't get any charity.

We've had to compensate

for it from our fund.

Bring Sahir Khan..

..or your kids will be removed

from the school.

Keep that in mind.

Mr. Dubey, don't get upset.

Make sure Sahir Khan

makes a appearance.

- You get him for us!

- You get him for us! Go on!

- Just a minute!

- I'll pull your beard out if you mess with me.

- Just a minute.

- Who do you think you are?

I'll handle this. Just a minute.

- Mr. Billu, tell us.

- What?

I will try.

Do whatever you want. But

promise all of us here..

..that you'll get Sahir Khan for

the school programme. That's it.

What say?

Yes. I'll bring him.

I thought you had self-respect.

But now I know what kind

of self-respect you have.

There are so many poor

people in the world.

Do they all run away from

their rich friends?

Serve me tea.

I'll serve tea. But don't ask

why I haven't added milk.

Did the goat stop giving milk?

The goat is giving milk.

But so many people come to inquire..

..that I have to serve them

tea. I get no time.

Be straightforward. Tell them Sahir

Khan is not going to come here.

Then nobody will come here.

Our house will be deserted

as it was in the past.

I'm not going to say that.

Remember that.

Earlier, people used to ignore us.

Now, they can't take

their eyes off us.

This is the only happiness Lord Ram

has given us among all this sorrow.

Why should I reject it?

People are so jealous of us.

I love it.

You've lost it!

Kids too.

The whole village has gone mad.

As if you're the only

intelligent one.

If you were intelligent enough,

then you wouldn't be hiding.

Go meet Sahir Khan.

He won't kill you.

I've told you several times

that he won't recognise me.

Are you an astrologer?

Can you read his mind?

Couldn't they find any village other

than this one for the film shoot?

Ever since these film guys have

come, everything has gone wrong.

As if things were very good earlier.

Will he or won't he recognise you?

Be scared and do nothing about it.

His intentions will become clear,

only if you go and meet him.

If he doesn't recognise

you, then it's fine.

If he does, then we'll consider

ourselves very lucky..

..that he's a good friend.

Excuse me! I want to

call the guest house.

Which one? Where Sahir Khan

and film crew are lodged?

I'll call right away.

Yes.

- Shubhlakshmi Guest House.

- I want to talk to Mr. Sahir.

Just a minute.

Hello.

Is this Mr. Sahir? Mr. Sahir?

No, this is Yeshwant his secretary.

Who is this?

Okay. Please put Mr. Sahir on the

line. I want to talk to him.

I can't do that without

knowing who you are.

Who am I?

- Billu, the barber.

- Who?

Billu, the barber.

Hair.. Hair-cutting.
