And I've also transferred the

property papers in your name.

I don't want your property.

All I want is a

pinch of vermillion..

..to grace my forehead.

Foolish!

I am ready to squander all

my wealth at your bellow.

And all you demand is

a pinch of vermillion.

Yes. Make me your wife.

And give me some place

in your heart.

Manoranjana is tired

of entertaining people.

Take it easy my nightingale.

I love you.

And I swear I will take

the nuptial rounds with you..

...and marry you ASAP, darling.

Thank you.

- Mention not.

Don't forget me, I beg of you.

Will give you, will

also give you the bag

Gulab didn't keep his promise.

And Manoranjana's age..

..put a full stop

on her movie career.

And then one day

she found out, that..

..Gulab got married to a

famous industrialist's daughter.

She couldn't endure

her shattered heart..

..and this terrible shock.

And she took to the

famous filmy bottle SAD 69.

And one day, after

finishing 69 bottles..

..under the influence of alcohol..

..she hung herself from the fan.

Oh no!

Manoranjana's soul

decided to take refuge..

..in the same mansion, where she..

..had dreamt of entering

as the daughter-in-law.

"My breath severed

all ties with life."

"My delicate heart

shattered like glass."

"My heart slowly burns like ember."

"My delicate heart

shattered like glass."

"My delicate heart

shattered like glass."

"My heart slowly burns like ember."

"A sigh comes out of my heart."

"My heart slowly burns like ember."

"A sigh comes out of my heart."

"I've lost everything."

"My delicate heart

shattered like glass."

Sir.

Please turn off the lights.

Your story is very nice.

I mean it's superb.

- Thank you, sir.

But...the production

designing will be really difficult.

Different periods.

The properties. Costumes.

Furniture.

We'll have to do

detailed research. - No, sir.

We don't have to do so much

research in a ghost story.

You know, I'll shoot

Ramsay's scenes in sepia mode.

And Manoranjana Kumari's

scenes in black and white.

Back projection, direct lighting.

Every character will

have dual shadow..

..cast on a hand-drawn

background of the sky.

We can play around with the sky.

We can play around with grey-scale.

Thank you, sir.

You gave such a good

reaction on a struggler's story.

No one does that, sir.

I am touched, sir.

I am honored.

Thank you, sir.

- Control yourself.

Now we cut to the 70's.

Bombay.

Time of the underworld.

After Gendamal's

death when Gulabchand..

..tried to take

over GH mills, then..

..Gulabchand uncle, Heerachand..

..tipped famous gangster

Salim Fatela to kill Gulabchand.

Coincidentally Salim Fatela..

..was also a big fan

of Manoranjana Kumari.

"I won't give it."

Gulabchand's ghost wanted to

live in Royal mansion too..

..and apologizes

to Manoranjana Kumari.

I am sorry, Manoranjana.

I made a big mistake.

Forgive me.

And give me what you

always did when you were alive.

What?

- Your love, Manoranjana.

Don't have dirty

picture in your mind.

Rascal, useless.

You came back like a useless coin.

Get out of here.

Manoranjana, go inside.

Sorry, bro.

- Get out. Come on, out.

Out!

- I am sorry. I am sorry.

Funny. Very funny. Too funny.

Right, sir.

And very exciting too.

- Right?

I'll shoot this killing

portion with a hand-reel camera.

Like RGV.

Sir, RGV?

Ram Gopal Verma.

- Oh yeah, of course.

Sir, I suggest that..

..you let him shoot

the killing scenes.

Why not?

Actually, he's my guru, you know.

- I see.

Yes.

I've assisted him.

I've written dialogues for him.

And I even operated

the camera in one film.

What are you saying?

- 5D.

Sometimes under the table.

Sometimes under the actor's face.

And sometimes above

the fan's blade..

..and many other places.

Superb, sir.

This project is

getting very interesting.

Thank you, sir.

All the characters aren't just..

..from different

socio-economic backgrounds..

..in fact, they're from

different time-period as well.

Thank you, sir.

And this movie will have

an amazing ensemble cast.

Thank you, sir.

And these days there's

an award for this as well.

Yes, sir.

Bro, continue.

Many of the old

haunted houses in Mumbai..

..were being razed down in

the name of development.

And the ghosts living in them..

..decided to make

Gendamal's mansion..

..their permanent

address and came to them.

But it was getting

difficult for Gendamal..

..to adjust and

accommodate everyone.

So how did the ghosts

accommodation problem get solved?

Sir, an interview board was formed.

This is very loud, get it repaired.

And not just from Mumbai, but..

..ghosts from the

different parts of the country..

..in fact, even from outside the

country came from the interview.

Don't bend so much.

Otherwise you'll hit your

head on the ground and break it.

There's gas filled in your head.

Take this pill and go.

Mister, the leaf that you chew

is called a 'Paan' (betel-leaf).

And my name's Akbar Khwaza Khan..

alias Natwar Khawaza Khan

alias Khatwar Khwaza Khan.

That's fine, but which one's

out of these three is your name?

Gentleman, the person's

name is Akbar Khwaza Khan.

And what's your name?

I am Akbar Khwaza Khan.

Then what is person's name?

Gentleman, this is Urdu dialect.

There's just me, there's no us.

Oh you mean.

You are my mother and you are my

father.. you are my friend too.

It's an old Hindi film from

know you will not understand..

..but nothing to worry.

- Continue

In Continue We're Pindari's,

mister.

Muslim-Maratha are brothers.

We fought the battle of Mahirpur.

Warrior.

- Warrior Akbar.

Jodha-Akbar!

You movie buff.

Not Jodha-Akbar! Warrior Akbar.

Talk with respect.

Continue.

Well, I was king of Indore's

Malhar Holkar's special chef.

How did you become a ghost?

Mister,

during the war of Mahirpur..

..I tried to make

a hole in kitchen..

..and keep an eye on

the enemy for the king.

But I didn't know that the enemy..

..already made a

hole in the back wall..

..and have their guns aimed..

..at the kind's special chef.

On the whole what happened?

On the whole the enemy

filled my whole body with holes..

..that I didn't know

where do I breathe from..

..and from where do I..

Mister, that's why I

hate these Britishers.

Is he talking about me?

- Yes.

He says he likes you.

Oh, hello.

Mister, the kitchen

where I used to live.

Now someone's opened

a tea-stall there.

And now I am kitchen-less.

Let's appoint him for

making non-veg food.

Select.

Selected.

My name's PK.

I was a film producer in Mumbai.

You might know that a film

producer's life...is really bad.

First run after the

director for the script.

Then run after the hero for dates.

Then run after the

heroine to dress her up fully.

You get so good at running..

..that, if you make the

producer run in the Olympics..

..then he'll

definitely win a gold medal.

Sir. Why does he use

that word when he speaks?

Because the rascal does
