Today, There's a hearing in

the High Court for Royal Mansion.

The great grandsons of Gaindamal..

..are fighting in the

court for this property.

I've to go with them.

It's frustrating.

Hemant, leave the

keys with the watchman.

Who would come to a house

that's haunted by ghosts.

I did appoint one...but

the ghosts drove him away.

What are you saying?

The entire house is

filled with antiques.

And everything must be expensive.

Yes, they say that..

..there's a huge treasure

buried under this house too.

You mean hidden treasure.

People have seen golden

coins of the British era.

That's why I don't

give the keys to anyone.

Hemantbhai. Hemantbhai.

- No, no.

Have faith, I'll bring the keys.

Tanya, please.

- Thank you very much.

Thank you so much, Hemantbhai.

Your magical embrace

cast a spell on Hemantbhai.

Come on.

I hugged him out of affection.

Yes, right.

Sir, what will we

do for next two hours?

I will have to wait for Sumit Da.

I've to discuss the

shot divisions with him.

I suggest that you two

go to the police station.

And get the permissions

for next week's shoot.

That's a good idea.

Yeah, even I've to meet

with the costume dada, so..

Great. You guys get going then.

Leave the keys with me.

Okay.

Will you manage it alone?

- Yes.

Camera, laptop.

Thank you.

- Take care.

Yes, I will.

Bye, sir.

- Bye, Gupta.

Sir.

- Who is it? Who is it?

Sir, it's me. Raju writer, sir.

You?

You're back again.

What do you want now?

Sir, neither money nor credit.

I just need a break.

Oh God! You don't need a break

But I really need one from you.

That's exactly what

I want to give, sir.

I want to give you a break

to make a film on my story.

I am just joking, sir.

Sir, please hear my story once.

Sir, I've done my research here..

..and written a story

about this place.

My friend,

I've told you many times..

..I've no interest

in hearing your story.

Sir, but I am interested

in telling you.

FIMFARE, ZEE, IIFA, TOIFA,

Even the Lion's club

award will be yours sir.

Thank you very much for the awards.

But dude, I don't

want to hear your story.

Because I've got my own

story for my first film.

Hold on, sir.

You wrote a story without me.

Without me?

Sorry.

Sir, just joking.

By the way, what's the genre?

I mean what kind of a film is it?

Action? Social? Thriller? Horror?

Or one of those

intellectual art films..

..with a strong message.

It's not like that.

But what do you know about these

intellectual art-house movies?

Sir, I may look like a tramp..

..but tramp only get the triumph.

By the way, I am MA in Literature

from Allahabad University.

And member of the

Cineclub in Allahabad.

Fellini, Truffaut, Bergman..

..and our very own Satyajit Ray,

Gurudutt, Shantaram..

..made such great films.

I guess you're a big movie buff.

Very big sir.

Big one?

Okay, how about the

contemporary film-makers?

Danny Boyle, Ang Lee,

Christopher Nolan..

..have you seen their work?

Just tell me the movie name, sir..

..I can tell you the entire

screenplay, with dialogues.

No, let it be.

Sir. Can I say something?

Stop making these ad-films.

- Why is that?

If a young talent like you do

the slavery to this consumerism.

And sell these soaps and

toothpaste, doesn't look nice.

Make a feature film.

And say whatever you want.

Sir, there's great fun in

making a feature film, sir.

But you just mentioned Satyajit Ray.

- Yes, sir.

Even he made ad-films first.

And if we don't sell

these soaps and toothpaste..

..then what will we eat?

And anyway, who will

finance my independent film?

Corporates are only interested

in the number game and stars.

That's true, sir.

But, are you interested

in making a feature film?

Definitely.

In fact, I also have

a story in my mind.

Hot Haryanvi.

And for that I'm

also meeting a producer.

Well, you didn't hear my story..

..but I will definitely

hear your story.

Don't worry, I won't leak it out.

I can also sign an NDA for you.

Non Disclosure Agreement.

So the basic story is about a boy..

..who plays in a band.

Marriage band?

No.

Music band. Musical group.

I see. Like beetles, etcetera.

Something like that.

But they only play Haryanvi music.

- Oh!

Haryanvi music?

Hard to digest,

but sounds interesting.

Next, sir. Next.

The parents of this boy..

..want to fulfill

their dreams through him.

They want their son

to become a musician.

But the son knows..

..he can never fulfill

his parent's dreams.

Because he's a bad musician.

He doesn't have the

talent to compose songs.

He is out of tune.

He's stuck in a

strange non-creative limbo.

He also has a girlfriend

who loves him.

But the boy hates

love and affection.

Same old wine in a new bottle.

You said something?

- No, sir. Nothing.

Sir, what happens in the end?

That's the problem.

I just can't figure out

what the end should be.

I have characters,

plot points, crises..

..cinematic moments,

but I can't think of..

..what the resolution should be.

The problem is by tomorrow..

..I've to work out

the end at any cost.

Sir, if you don't mind

can I say something?

No, go ahead.

Sir, throw your

story in the dustbin.

What?

Sir, your story's got no impact.

This was just the synopsis.

When I tell you scene by scene

you'll realize the real impact.

Sir Raju writer is my name.

Writing is my job.

By hearing 2 minutes of the story..

I can imagine the entire screenplay

and know what's going to happen next.

Really?

- Sir, you felt bad.

No, sir. - That's why

you're leaving me in the middle.

I didn't feel bad,

Sir, I heard your boring story..

..so you got to hear

my interesting story.

You mean your story's

better than mine.

Sir, don't try to

compare a diamond with a stone.

I see.

- Yes, sir.

If you make a film on my story..

- I know, I know.

Filmfare,

Screen, Zee, IIFA, TOIFA..

..we'll even bag
