Dedh Ishqiya Page #7

A cheat!

l wish l could tell you why.

Well... you could try explaining.

l will try my best to understand.

Really?

- Yes. Really.

My husband,

Nawab Mir Khan Sahab..

..had no interest in women.

He would spend his

days drinking, gambling..

..and in the company of young boys.

l tried to separate from him.

But no one supported me.

Neither my family nor anyone else.

l fell ill.

Doctor's advice or medication..

..would not have an effect on me.

My life is indebted to Muniya.

She's my friend,

sister and my soulmate.

Then, one day.

The Nawab passed away.

His death set me free.

But made me a pauper.

He had mortgaged his

entire property with the bank.

All his life,

he squandered borrowed money.

Jaan Mohammad extended

his hand to save me.

But on the condition of marriage.

He had just one dream.

To be the Nawab of Majidabad.

Life served so many blows..

..that l had to give

a fitting reply.

So, what now?

Where will you go

with all the money?

Where the past can't

catch up with me.

Far. Far away.

Shall l send you right away?

Will you go alone,

or take that girl with you?

Muniya!

She isn't here.

- No.

Muniya!

Bhai.

Bhai.

- What?

Bhai. Phone.

lt's him.

Hello?

- ls the money ready?

Yes. Where do l deliver it?

Come to the bookstall..

..at the railway station. By 12pm.

Okay.

- And, listen.

l'm speaking from Ghanta ghar area.

Don't waste time

sending your men around.

Come on time.

l don't like people turning up late.

Muniya!

- Stay there.

Don't move.

Babban.

Look, Babban!

Things have gone terribly wrong.

Jaan Mohammad

knows about our entire plan.

What?

Khalu, we won't get the money now.

He will kill us.

- Yes. We should run away.

Yes you are right.

What do you think?

Please. Believe me.

l'm telling the truth.

Muniya!

Your charade won't work

with me anymore.

Try your luck in Bollywood.

You'll be a big star.

(Railway Announcements)

Boys get in. Get in the car.

Jaan sir.

Someone left this note for you.

Go to the water faucet no.2

on platform no.1 .

Pick up the trash can close to it.

(Majidabad to Bareilly.)

Rafiq.

- Yes, Jaan sir.

Nainital Express. To Bareilly.

Okay, Jaan bhai. We'll be there.

Tea.

Hot tea!

Tea!

Sir, tea?

lt's only a hundred bucks sir.

Have a cup.

l said l don't want it.

100 rupees, please.

Read it.

Tea. Hot tea.

Get down at Bap station,

after Lakhimpur.

Even if no one gets off, you will.

A goods train arrives in an hour.

Board that and get out of here.

Where is Para?

She's inside.

Bag. Here.

What's the number on the lock?

9 2 1 1 .

Welcome Nawab Sahab.

ls it all there?

Your problem is with me.

They are innocent.

Let them go.

Okay. lf you say so..

Stop.

- Stop it boys.

Bring that Nawab here.

Come madam.

Come on.

Begum Para is suggesting

that l let you go.

That you are innocent.

Are you?

lt seems to you that

l'm the only bad guy around.

Everyone else is innocent,

just like these two.

l chased you with all my money,

pride and my heart.

And you danced to the tune

of this imposter's stolen poetry.

My poetry is not stolen.

lt's original.

l see.

And your dance?

l never saw it.

Come, let's see you

guys jam together.

Move aside, make some space.

Move back.

- They're going to dance.

Well, your goods train is arriving.

The plan was to throw

you two in front of it.

But, if you manage to

pull off the performance..

..then the next train

leaves at night.

What time?

- 7:
30.

Lets begin.

Begin!

- Jaan bhai.

l'm sick of this poetic stuff.

Let's make them

dance to a film song.

l don't know any film songs.

You're joking, right?

l'm sure you know that..

"Anarkali's off to the disco?"

l think this one's better.

"Let's go to a disco."

Jaan bhai..

"All my lovers.."

"Shiela's youth.."

Don't move!

lf you move l'll

blow your brains out!

Tell your men to let these three go.

What?

Let these three go.

Let them go.

- Jaan bhai.

Here.

Stop the train and you two leave.

Babban. You go.

l'm not going.

You go.

l cannot leave without her.

Khalu, l can't leave

without her either.

We'll miss the train,

try to understand.

You're repeating the same thing.

l won't leave Muniya, l mean it.

Okay, how about..

Fine, fine.

- Stay back.

Hand me the gun, you two leave.

This is our matter.

You two leave.

l have an idea.

Khalu, you leave with Begum Para.

Muniya and l will handle them.

l cannot leave without Muniya.

And, l won't without you.

l am holding the pistol.

You three leave.

- No.

At this rate nobody will leave!

Decide who's going!

The train's arrived.

"The peace that existed between us."

"You may remember, you may not."

"The peace that existed between us."

"You may remember, you may not."

"The promise of being together."

"You may remember, you may not."

Babban.

"Those little complaints,

those new regrets."

"Those enjoyable stories

we made up and told."

"That show of anger

over every little thing."

"You may remember, you may not."

Stop.

Run!

Jaan Muhammad?

You wanna be Nawab!

(One and a half months later)

- Freedom is the most beautiful..

..and valuable gift of life.

And any price paid for it is less.

l attained freedom,

but you paid the price for it.

l thought lovers like you

can only be found in the movies.

l pray to Allah to give me..

..the strength to love

with such intensity.

Love?

l wasn't worthy of your love.

You will find a better

girlfriend than me.

But if you're unfortunate..

..then we'll run

into each other again.

Between Honolulu to Paris.

Somewhere.

Your gift didn't buy

the skies for me.

But it was enough to make

our own small world.

We don't have all we wanted

but we have all we need.

Life stands still

in our little world.

Visit us sometime.

We'll sit like statues.

Good news, you've been granted bail.

Who bailed us out?

- Your wife did, get lost now.

Khalu, didn't l tell you?

They love us.

Your wife..

Khalu, get me married.

We'll go to Honolulu for honeymoon.

Any last wish?

We want to sing a 'Thumri'.

"l sit adorned. "

"Completely out of breath."

"Where's my beloved?"

"l've kindled the lamps

on the roof. "

"But, my beloved

hasn't turned up yet."

"Which other woman...

is trying to entice him?"

"Come to my roof, O beloved."

"So l can steal a glimpse of you."

"Come to my roof, O beloved."

"So l can steal a glimpse of you."

"On my roof."

"My beloved tries to

peek through the keyhole."

"He squanders money."

"Doesn't care about the world."

"My beloved tries to

peek through the keyhole."

"He squanders money."

"Doesn't care about the world."

"Swears on his life."

"Beloved,

let me get you a betel-leaf."

"So your red lips turn reddish."

"Beloved,

let me get you a betel-leaf."

"So your red lips turn reddish."

"On my roof."

"Don't wander into

the neighbour's house."

"The wretched

woman dispels my spells."

"Lethal eyes."

"Come to the rooftop,

l'll pour you some wine."

"And we'll play the game of love."

"Come to the rooftop,
