Gang of Ghosts Page #7

Let's go.

- Okay.

Okay.

Thank you for your autograph.

We got introduced.

- Hurry up.

Come on.

"She loves."

"She's crazy about me."

Sir.

You called, sir.

Who's the boss?

I am the boss.

Who's the boss?

You're the boss.

- The boss didn't call you.

Rotate this.

Manoranjana, I've seen

all your plays. - Plays?

No, no, I mean cinema.

After watching your first

film I fell in love with you.

Like they say,

love at first night.

Love at first sight.

I know it's love at first sight.

But I saw the night show.

So I said love at first night.

Oh, God! I guess the

old man's lost his mind.

I didn't hear anything.

I was a big fan of your

since I was just a kid.

You know, I also

made a fan club for you.

And in that club we

all addressed you as Ma.

Not as in mother.

By Ma we meant Goddess.

Bhootnath, the movie

world is a bad place.

My Guru used to say..

..that you can stay in

this glittering world..

..only as long as

you stay beautiful.

Once your beauty disappears..

..you will disappear.

How could your Guru say that?

Beauty is not a pot of tea..

..that when the tea's over,

the pot's broken.

Manoranjana,

your time will never be up.

Because you were beautiful,

you still are..

..and forever will be.

There's no point in

praising me now, Bhootnath.

It's very late now.

- I understand.

But Manoranjana,

everyone's late here.

I am late Bhootnath Bhaduri.

You're late Manoranjana Kumari.

But before it's too late.

Sweets and snacks for you.

Bhootnath,

this isn't time for sweets.

Yes, I understand. I understand.

I get it. This is

time for something else.

But Manoranjana, I

want to say something.

Like all men, you'll say..

..Manoranjana, I love you a lot.

I am fed up of

hearing this dialogue.

Why will I say that?

I will say what I want.

And I want to hear you sing.

What?

Shameless.

Aren't you ashamed?

I'll show you.

Anybody there.

Anybody there.

Manoranjana.

I meant song.

Singing.

"Open your door."

"I am standing at your threshold."

"Don't let me standout anymore."

Who's there? Who's bothering you?

Manoranjana, my love..

..this Bhootnath's after you again.

But don't be scared.

This is Muslim-Maratha,

Khwaja Akbar Khan..

..chef of king Malhar

Holkar speaking.

I will teach him a lesson.

You rascal,

you will teach me a lesson.

A soldier without a shield and

sword and come here holding a rose.

Mind your tongue, Bhootnath.

Oh, God! What's going on?

Accept this lover's true

love and take this rose..

..and I'll personally

cook for you Kebabs.

And then you'll

suffer from loose motions.

Enemy of my love, be alert.

If you have Urdu poems

then I've Bengal Tigers.

I won't be scared.

You won't be scared?

- No.

Then you will be killed by me.

Come on.

- I see.

I will die. You will kill me?

Rascal, how will you kill me?

How will you kill me?

- Don't provoke me.

Will you kill me with

the plastic rose?

There goes your plastic rose.

What the..

What's up, sister?

You've hit the jackpot.

One rose and three admirers.

Oh my, God! How will I

handle three lovers?

Three.

I'm experienced

at handling 30, Tina.

But these are old men,

and they're all dead.

But there's a nice

boy for you here.

He's single, and also ready to

mingle. If I would be at your place

I would've taken

him on a long-drive..

..and eaten dinner with him.

You smoke so much?

Haven't you heard?

Smoking is injurious to health.

Sweetheart, when there's no

health then what's it injurious to?

Whatever it is, it's really bad.

It's stinking man.

Tell me,

when did you start singing?

When I was born.

But when a child is born he cries.

I was singing.

But you know, people

like love, romantic music..

..more than what you sing.

To hell with it.

I've forsaken romance and

romantic music from my system.

I don't let flowers, mountains,

river, waterfalls, love..

..anywhere close to my music.

I don't sing from the mouth

I sing from my entire body.

A song that has passion,

openness, liberty.

That means you will

never sing romantic songs?

Never.

- But why?

Do you want to know the answer?

"I am scared of being betrayed."

"My heart be filled with pain."

"I am scared of being betrayed."

"My heart be filled with pain."

"The thought of it makes me sweat."

"The thought of it makes me sweat."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Any boy who falls in

love with his neighbor."

"Any boy who falls in

love with his neighbor."

"You can bet that.."

"..he'll be fixing

tents in her marriage."

"It's a constant threat to life."

"It's a constant threat to life."

"It's a constant threat to life."

"It's a constant threat to life."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's a butcher, it ruins a man."

"Love's a butcher, it ruins a man."

"It makes your market

value zero in a minute."

"Life will be worse than death."

"Life will be worse than death."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

"Love's such a rascal."

This is Haryanvi rock.

Wow. Simply superb.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

This is a complete

insanity ambiance.

No, sir, hauntedness.

- What?

Hauntedness?

Nice one.

So all the ghosts were

spending their days..

..with love and affection.

But one day suddenly

a problem came up.

Problem? For the ghosts?

I had heard that

ghosts trouble people.

Yes, sir. But the situation

was different here.

The people were

troubling the ghosts.

They've turned Royal

Mansion into a vegetable market.

They're hammering

a nail on every wall.

Someone's taking a nap.

Someone throwing used plates.

And someone's spitting.

And they've setup a

rail-track on the floor..

..and people are getting

on and off that thing.

That means they

have no civic sense.

And the heroine has filled my room

with smoke from her cigarette.

I was a film actress too.

But even I never

smoked so many cigarettes.

And she's showing such attitude.

Let's lodge a report

at the police station.

Who will lodge a ghost's report?

And anyway, they already

bribe the police at first.

Then we'll have to

use our special power.

What's that?

Let's scare them away.

Sister, I feel you should

teach that heroine a lesson first.

Fine.

All the film actresses are

nervous before the shot.

I'll scare her so badly..

..that she'll never

act again in her life.

Scene 1, take 1.

And action.

She fell down,

the shooting was cancelled.

Mid Day and Mirror covered

the story on their front page.

And slowly the news, that

GH Mills and Royal Mansion..

..are haunted, spread in

the entire film industry.

Producers and

directors stopped filming here.

The ghosts of Royal Mansion won..

..and it was celebration time.

And on this joyous occasion..
