Bol Bachchan

Synopsis: When a child falls into the well of the temple and Abbas breaks the temple's lock to save the child. When Prithviraj arrives at the scene, Ravi says Abbas's name as Abhishek Bachchan to avoid religious controversies of a temple being broken open by a Muslim. Prithviraj hires Abhishek Bachchan (Abbas) and is happy with his work, but Ravi and his friends have to come up with a new plan when Prithviraj spots Abbas celebrating Eid as a Muslim. Abbas and the others convince Prithviraj that the one celebrating Eid was actually 'Abbas', an effeminate man and classical Kathak dancer. Things become worse for Abbas and Ravi when Prithviraj kindly hires Abbas for teaching Kathak to his sister Radhika (Prachi Desai). The more Abbas tries to manage his dual life without letting Prithviraj know, the more he has to lie to cover up other lies; this forms the crux of the story.

Your Honor, these people are lying.

l swear on the Bhagawad Gita.

This is the first dialogue

of the play, but where is the Gita?

And what about the portrait

of Gandhi behind that chair?

Sorry, ma'am, l forgot.

l'll get it done.

How much longer do l wait,

Madam Art Director?

Here you are trying to

set up this court while...

tomorrow is the hearing

at the actual court!

Where is your brother Abbas?

Sir...

you know how much l've

struggled to pay the legal fees.

Trying to keep up with this

case for the last three years...

l was forced to sell my taxi.

And now he is driving the

taxi for the people who bought it!

Sir, after our

father passed away...

...his elder brother

seized our land illegally.

Now he wants the

house that we live in.

lf we win this case,

the house will remain ours and...

we will be close to

our father's memories.

Yes, sir.

Please.

Tomorrow the ruling

should be in our favor.

Don't worry, Abbas.

Tomorrow in the court,

the ball will be in our court!

We will win.

But you've been assuring

us for the past three years!

This isn't an assurance,

it's a guarantee, Sania.

Abbas, l've worked the

case in such a manner that...

...the accused will also

pay compensation...

...for the mental harassment

they've caused us.

Really?

Yes, the judge will be

so impressed with my plea that...

before he can pass

the judgment he will say...

l am shocked!

The arguments and evidence

presented by Abbas Ali's lawyer...

clearly state that the disputed

property doesn't belong to...

Abbas Ali.

The rightful owner of

the property is Ashfaq Ali.

Now he can sue Abbas

Ali for mental harassment.

Case is dismissed!

Hey wait...

where are you running?

Come here!

You've ruined me!

- Abbas, l'm your lawyer.

- Lawyer?

You're the last nail in the coffin!

We'll appeal the case higher...

l'll send you higher!

Abbas!

Abbas!

You went overboard, Abbas!

You beat up your lawyer

outside the court!

Thankfully Sania called

me and l posted your bail.

Before doing something like that,

didn't you think about your sister?

Uncle, l did think about Sania and

that's why l merely beat him up.

Otherwise l would've smashed

him with the judge's gavel!

Abbas, l agree we've

been deceived...

but that doesn't mean

you go on a killing spree.

What do you want me to do, Sania?

What do l do?

We've lost father's house.

The taxi owner has refused

me from driving his taxi.

He says l'm a convict.

ln such a situation one

is bound to lose control.

Take it easy, Abbas.

Take it easy.

Sania, get him some tea.

Go get some tea.

Now l've realised why the

Taj Mahal is called a 'wonder'.

What do you mean?

Shah Jahan built the

Taj Mahal without a bank loan.

A wonder!

The middle class person

has such basic desires.

A six figure salary,

five working days...

a four wheeler...

a three bedroom apartment...

two kids and a life partner.

But the fact is...

the heaviest burden a man

can have is his empty pocket.

Abbas!

You value the good times only

after going through tough times.

Thank you, uncle.

For confirming that l

am going through tough times.

lt's good to understand

your predicament but...

it's foolish to cry over it.

Listen, you and Sania should

come with me to Ranakpur.

Ranakpur?

Yes!

Your father and l

weren't merely friends.

We were more like brothers.

Now, you will do as l say.

lf you stay back here...

...you'll see your cousins

everyday and curse your life.

l will try my best to get

you ajob at the place l'm working.

Ranakpur is an amazing place.

There's no politics there,

and no mad rush like the city.

lt's peaceful everywhere you go.

Happiness...

Serene and calm...

Help!

l've been working for the

Raghuvanshi family since 30 years.

Earlier l worked for the father

and now for his son, Prithviraj.

Prithviraj is a great human being.

He is passionate about two things.

First...

And the second is...

to speak English better

than the English themselves!

'Early to double bed

and early to wake up fast...

makes a male healthy,

strong and oversmart!'

'Eat lots and lots of walnuts,

tighten your loincloth...

and fight with bare hands,

no knives, no forks!'

Even more than the

English language...

he loves his sister,

Radhika, very much.

Right now Radhika is studying

in a Delhi university.

But when it comes to the prosperity

and progress of Ranakpur...

Prithviraj is always

at the forefront!

This year he will also begin

work on the Deteron power plant.

But every now and then the power

plant project is disrupted...

...by his cousin, Vikrant.

And that adds fuel to

their decade's old family feud.

Vikrant is against both

Prithviraj and the power project.

Prithviraj seems like

an honest and righteous man.

l think your decision to get Abbas

ajob here is absolutely right.

Prithviraj hates one thing though.

What?

Lies.

How do you feel?

Doctor, l'm in a lot of pain.

Have some water.

Thank you!

Save me!

Not, 'save me'.

'saved... saved.'

He brought you here.

Tell me something...

who is the monster

that did this to you?

l did.

l beat him up.

You beat him up

and then got him here?

There was a lot of dirt in him.

lt was necessary to get it out.

As for bringing him here,

its compassion.

But what did he do?

What did he do?

Fraud!

Though he was the supervisor,

he embezzled 99 Rupees.

Just 99 Rupees?

lt's not about 99 Rupees!

The thing is he lied!

Prithviraj Raghuvanshi

worships the truth.

And buries the one who lies.

Everyways, doctor...

be it sunrise or sunfall,

five star backhand service.

Nurse, keep window shopping open,

let atmosphere come in.

Maakhan!

Sir?

Bring freshful flowers

and fruitables.

lmpossible!

Rest in peace!

Listen!

Sir?

Next time you lie...

you can let go of the reward...

because l'll do the deed.

- Maakhan!

- Sir?

Get someone else in his place.

That idiot,

Ravi, he is late yet again.

He isn't a son, but a curse.

He is reason for my ill-health!

Uncle, l'm sure there's

a reason for him being late.

There is only one reason!

His third-class

Aflatoon drama company.

Come on fast.

There he is.

Abbas!

Sania!

My friend Abbas!

You are finally here!

- Hi, welcome Sania.

- Thank you.

Well, l've visited you

a lot in Delhi and so...

we welcome you on your

first visit to Ranakpur.

The thing is we didn't even change

our costumes to come and see you...

But you are still late!

l've been standing

here because of you!

You aren't the proverbial

coin to stand on its side.

You could've sat on the bench,

Shastri.

Shastri?

Show some respect!

At least honor the

character of Lord Ram!

Calling your father by his name!

lt depends on who the father is!

You can't compare King

Dashrath with Shastri.

- Ravi!

- Shastri!

- Take the luggage!

- Okay.

Drama company, come on!

Your drama company

really is Aflatoon!

A play in every village?

Dude, we are vagabonds.

And vagabonds do their own thing.

l only want half a cup.
