De Dana Dan Page #5

Synopsis: Singapore-based Nitin Bankar's education was paid for by his employer, Kuljeet Kaur, and he, after the passing of his father, works as an unpaid maid-chauffeur for her until such time he pays off whatever she had spent. He is in love with gorgeous Anjali Kakkad but her father refuses to give his consent for this alliance. Desperate to get out of this situation, Nitin attempts suicide, albeit in vain, and then cooks up a scheme to abduct Kuljeet's pet, Mulchand, demand a hefty ransom, and then marry Anjali. He seeks assistance from his equally deadbeat-courier deliveryman, Ram Mishra, who wants to wed tall and pretty Manpreet Oberoi, and both book a room in Pan Pacific Hotel. However, Murphy's Law and a host of assorted characters get involved - resulting in hilarious and uncontrollable chaos.

When we were driving,

that dog fled back to that witch.

What had we written there?

Pay us 10 million, or be ready

to collect that dog's corpse.

She thinks I'm the dog.

Because I'm missing from there.

She thinks I've been kidnapped.

- What shall we do now?

We don't need to do anything.

Now, the police will do

whatever needs to be done.

We'll be sentenced for 150 years.

When I took you along, I knew

something was bound to go wrong.

Where did you get that piece ofjunk from?

The junk seller?

Why are you blaming me

for everything?

Kidnapping isn't my business.

So, am I giving lessons on kidnapping?

- Be quiet.

You brought that piece of crap...

...that, won't even open.

And, that dog ran away from it...

...along with your 10 million.

I've heard about humans

deceiving humans...

...but this is the first time

I've heard dog deceiving human.

I was on my way to commit suicide.

But no, you stopped me and said...

...lets become someonelike Mamu.

Now be like Mamu.

Are you satisfied now?

Fine, it isn't too late now.

Let's commit suicide before the police arrive.

Come on. Come on.

Come.

What are you doing?

- We'll commit suicide?

Where are you taking the clothes?

Are you going for your honeymoon?

We'll go to the same bridge,

we had gone before...

...and commit suicide there,

Come on.

We cannot go there.

- Why?

We don't have enough petrol

in the van to go there.

Are you flat broke?

Don't you have any money?

I don't have money to buy poison.

I used the company's money for the hotel.

Now, I'll have to pay that as well.

I've an idea, we'll jump down

from the hotel's terrace.

But, we'll do it carefully. Because,

I don't want us to become cripple,

If we become cripples. We'll have to

spend our lives in jail like cripples.

We'll go to the terrace, and jump down

carefully. Okay. Come on.

We'll die carefully. Come on.

I am here.

Where are you two going?

To die, to commit suicide.

Die?

Yes. We don't have any other option left.

Anjali, go back home and

settle down with someone.

Our plans have been foiled.

We've failed.

Then, I'll come along with you too.

- Why do you want to die?

You called me here to get married.

Where else can I go?

I've left a goodbye note at home.

I took everything Icould get my hands on.

I'm not going anywhere.

Go, die and come back.

What now?

I need little time to think.

In a surprising turn of events,

Ms. Kaur has refused...

...to pay the ransom

demanded by the kidnappers.

This decision has

sparked a public upheaval...

...amongst the local

Indian community.

She has so much wealth.

Can't she give some

money and save his life?

I won't pay a single penny to save him.

Have you got that?

I think, we Indians should get together...

and, hold a demonstration against her.

And, stop going to her mall.

"I didn't feel any shame,

I danced so vigorously."

Heera speaking.'

- Hello.

Yes, Suri, I'm leaving now.

Ask Anu to be at pacific Hotel,

and book a room there.

I'll be there too,

and tell here where I am.

And, the rest will be

as we discussed earlier.

I'm leaving for a business conference.

I'll return after a week.

Where are you going, Brother-in-law?

- To Malaysia, for business.

What's wrong, sister?

- He's getting married again.

What?

He said, I'm going to Malaysia.

- He's lying.

I heard everything on the phone myself.

We had 12 petrol pumps

and 5 restaurants.

Every time he gets married...

each woman takes away something.

We're losing everything.

Now, all we have left... are

two petrol pumps and one restaurant.

Brother, if we lose even that...

what will I give my daughter? - Don't worry, Sister.

I'll take care of it.

Brother will never marry

anyone else again.

Hello, Mamu.

Call for you.

Hello.

- Mamu.

Mamu speaking. Yes.

Repeat the target's name.

What? Musa. Heerapurwala.

Don't worry.

I've the right man for this job.

Kaala.

There's a job for you.

How much will I get?

As much as you want?

- Tell me the job.

There's a man in pan pacific Hotel,

Musa Heerapurwala.

You need to finish him.

It's easy.

I'll plant a bomb between his legs.

It should look like an accident,

and not murder.

Don't worry, Mamu.

I've a strong medicine that can knock

a man out cold from a distance.

Good.

Then, I'll throw him

in a lake or a pond.

The police will think

he drowned to his death.

Very good.

Here's the number of the party that wants

him dead. Talk to them if needed.

But remember,

my share will be 10%.

You'll handover the corpse to the party

and, also collect the money from them. Okay.

Done.

Pay the ransom.

- Pay the ransom.

We cannot tolerate any more losses.

What is this?

Ma'am, this is our complaint

against you.

All these shops have been

closed for so many days.

Look madam, our business

has been ruined.

I feel, we'll have to

close down all the shops.

Either you pay the ransom and get Nitin back.

- Or return us our deposit.

We don't want to run

our shops in your mall.

Where are you going?

I'm going.

That's all you could think of,

all this while.

No, I thought of many things.

Do you want to know? Tell me.

Go back to that witch and tell her that you

escaped from the clutches of the kidnapper.

Simple.

Or else, I suggest that you go to

the terrace, and jump down.

And, Anjali stop thinking.

Go back to your father and,

tell him that you've changed your mind.

You'll have a better life.

Hey, excuse me, what've you

thought about yourself?

I've thought of postponing

my suicide for a few days.

I'm thinking, that I'll see an astrologer...

and, ask him which is the best day to die.

So, that I die on a good day. And, my soul

doesn't have to beg around like me.

So, if you don't find a good day...

you will never die.

No. - That means you've

decided to leave.

Yes, I've decided to leave.

- Confirmed.

Come on, then close this.

- I'm closing it.

Close it, quickly and get out now.

- I'm leaving.

Who wants to stay here?

I'm going...

And, remember one thing.

If you set a foot out of this room...

then, I'll tell thepolice that

you kidnapped me. Now go.

You're back to your

ownself again, aren't you?

And, aren't you trying to cheat me?

You cheat.

I was on my way to die, you stopped me.

Showed me dreams.

You put me in a fix,

I won't spare you either.

Really. - Stop using such crude language.

In a recent turn of events...

Just watch what they're

showing on television.

Ms. Kaur has finally...

...agreed to pay the ransom.

Ms. Kaur was speaking to

the press earlier today.

She's still awaiting the

demands of the kidnappers.

Here's more.

Kuljeet Kaur, is it true that you're

ready to pay the kidnappers.

Yes, I have.

I'll pay those scoundrels the money.

But, they should first call me...

and tell me where I should get the money.

Shall I take the money to their in-laws...

We're rich... - Not we, I'm rich...

You were leaving. Go.

So, what now?

Go to the astrologer quickly...

and, ask him when are you going to die?
