Bol Bachchan Page #2

Shastri!

The cup will be full, but

fill it only half with tea, Sania.

That's nice. Very good.

Sania, l was thinking,

now that you are here...

why don't you decorate the stage

for the Aflatoon drama company?

We won't get a better

art director than you.

What do you say, Abbas?

Great!

Finally someone wise

in this bunch ofjokers!

- Shastri!

- Ravi!

Hey... hold on!

At least tell me what

is the theme of your play?

l'll have to think

along those lines.

Sania, people get inspired

by plays and make films.

But for the first time l've written

this play inspired by films.

Really? What is

the name of your play?

Golmaal!

Brilliant!

What else can be expected

from idiots like you!

Useless!

Golmaal!

Golmaal!

All day this old man

keeps talking nonsense.

We can't even rehearse

over here because of him.

Why not?

The old man is home!

- Shastri!

- Ravi!

- Shastri!

- Ravi!

Wait a minute!

You are Shastri and he is Ravi.

- Yes.

- Right.

lf not here,

then where do you rehearse?

Sir!

My father used to say that...

a man should respect

his values and his moustache.

Moustache is the mirror

of human soul and mind, sir.

Moustache is the

mirror of the mind, sir?

lmpressive!

Your father has such

remarkable thinking.

What you've said is priceless!

A man who has no moustache,

has no mind!

By the way, where is your father?

Sir, my father passed

away four years ago.

That's good.

Oops!

Cut! Cut!

Blackout!

Next scene!

Wow! Such great acting!

Your play is a superhit!

Thank you, Abbas!

Abbas...

l want you to pray that...

just as my first play,

Alibaba and the 15 Thieves...

even this play is a success.

15 Thieves?

Didn't Alibaba have 40 Thieves?

We enact this in villages

and budgets are an issue.

Therefore,

Alibaba and the 15 Thieves!

- Ravi...

- Yes?

l've a list of things l would need.

Very good.

Kailash... Lucky...

take Sania along to Pichku's store.

And buy everything on credit, okay?

Budget is a major problem.

Chintu, get down or you might fall.

Ravi, please tell him.

Chintu... Chintu...

What are you doing up there?

Get down! You might fall.

- Ravi...

- Yes?

Why is that temple

over there locked?

Abbas, this temple stands on the

border of Ranakpur and Kherwada.

This is the result of hostility

between the two villages.

A 'no entry' sign

at the temple door.

Chintu!

Chintu!

Someone save my son.

Someone save my son.

My son... he can't swim!

My son!

What do you think you're doing?

Have you lost it?

You'll get into trouble,

if you step into the temple.

Let's go away from here.

My son...

Thank you so much!

You saved my son.

Abbas!

What did you do?

You broke the temple lock?

That kid would've drowned!

But still...

Let's get away from here.

Wait!

- Who the hell do you think you are?

- Mister... listen to me.

- Where are you from?

- Just listen to me.

Let me explain.

Hey... listen...

You are beyond my thoughts,

Vikrant!

At the slightest provocation

you erupt like a volcano.

Cousin!

Don't get into this.

For years this matter has been

a bone of contention between us.

Vikrant!

You're shooting in broad daylight!

We've already warned

you about this.

We can arrest you for this conduct.

- But this guy broke the...

- SP Sir...

he broke the temple lock

in order to save the boy's life.

l believe this is

the will of the Almighty.

lf we lock the temple once again...

we will go against

religious traditions...

it will be inauspicious.

What are you trying to say, pandit?

Now that the temple is open,

it will remain so.

l will get the permission

from the Collector.

lf any of you object to this

decision, you will be arrested!

l don't accept this!

SP Sir...

the temple will remain open.

l take responsibility for this.

And if anybody objects...

l will remind him of his childhood.

'l will make him remember

milk number six!'

Come on!

Hail Prithviraj Raghuvanshi!

l haven't seen you before.

Sir, he is my friend's son.

He's from Chandni Chowk, Delhi.

Name?

- Abb...

- Abhishek Bachchan!

His name is Abhishek Bachchan.

What?

Pandit...

Abhishek Bachchan?

What else should l've said?

Abbas Ali?

lf the villagers would find out...

...that an Abbas Ali broke

the temple lock...

we would be halfway

across the village by now.

But why Abhishek Bachchan?

The christening of a child

doesn't mean you name him Christ.

lf Prithvirajji finds

out about this lie...

Shastri!

Abhishek Bachchan...

come with me to the mansion.

- Shastri...

- Sir?

isn't he the same guy

who was looking for work?

Yes, sir.

But didn't you mention

some other name?

Well... sir...

Who gave you this name?

His father, sir.

Right?

But why Abhishek Bachchan?

Why not Sachin Tendulkar?

Because at his birth

he was taller than Tendulkar!

l'm kidding, Prithviji.

Don't be nervous, Abhishek.

He is like family.

Tell him about your name.

Please!

Speak.

Prithviji...

my father and mother were

both fans of Amitabh Bachchan.

Right!

So?

So...

my mother and father first

met each other at a theatre.

They were there to watch 'Deewar'.

During the interval,

they saw each other.

The wall fell apart

and they fell in love.

Then?

Then...

Then...

Don't be shy... Say it.

Then...

And then...

they sneaked out to

watch a film together...

and the film they saw was...

- 'Chupke Chupke.'

- Yes, 'Chupke Chupke!'

And the day they decided

to get married...

that was the day

'Kasme Waade' released.

The day of their marriage,

'Suhaag' was out.

And when mother conveyed

the good news...

...to father that

she was expecting...

that's the day 'Parvarish'

hit the theatres.

And the day l hit the world...

l mean, the day l was born...

...was the day

'Muqaddar Ka Sikandar' released.

And that's why Prithviji, my father,

just like Mr. Amitabh Bachchan...

kept his son's name,

l mean, my name Abhishek Bachchan!

lt's a good thing, your parents

weren't fans of Amjad Khan.

Or they would've

named you Gabbar Singh!

Your qualifications?

Jama lslamiya University...

opposite that is

Pandit Nehru College.

l have done my BA there.

Yes, Prithviji. AB has done his BA.

Sir, BA.

He knows two alphabets

that too in reverse, BA!

Maakhan!

Sir?

Give him superman's post.

- Superman?

- He means supervisor.

A salary of 30,000 Rupees.

30,000?

35,000!

Not a rupee more!

Hail Prithviraj!

Thank you Prithviji.

Even though l don't have

any experience, you gave me ajob.

All due to his...

30 years of special appearances!

He has recommended you.

Happy?

Sir, the fact is...

Prithviji, he wants to say that...

l won't give you any

reason to complain, because...

my father would say,

hard work has its own reward.

Hard work is...

Hard work is the

keyhole to saxophone!

What did you tell me?

The Almighty has locked

both your home and your fate!

And what did you do?

Here you broke the

lock of a religious place!

Oh God!

Fine, even if you broke it.

But you gave him a fake name!
