Jhoom Barabar Jhoom Page #9

Synopsis: London, an overcrowded cafe, one table to share. Two strangers tell each other "how I met my fiancé" stories to kill time. Rikki (Abhishek Bachchan) met his fiance Anaida (Lara Dutta) at the Ritz in Paris and Alvira (Preity Zinta) met her prince charming Steve (Bobby Deol) at Madame Tussauds in London. Stories unfold and by the end of their session the two have alarmingly gotten attracted to each other. What follows is a crazy love story full of lies, deceits and a complicated quadrangle - Rikki and Alvira have gotten themselves as well as Anaida ad Steve in to a lovely mess, where each of them have to think quick on their feet, dancing around each other's emotions playing musical chairs and lying through their teeth. If opposites attract - then this is it.

You idiot what took you so long,

if l'd said yes to Shahriyar..

You're amazing..

One small hitch and you go running

to marry next available man.

Typical lndian mentality.

l'm not lndian..

You're Pakistani.. same thing.

lf you say one more word

against Pakistanis..

Why would l say anything

against Pakistanis..?

Even my best friend..

..my girlfriend is a Pakistani.

Good.. otherwise all the

neighbours will come out..

..and forced you to marry me.

So let them. l'm not scared.

Before they can force me

l'll marry you myself.

Why?

Because in two hours we spent

our entire lives together.

Even then.. no war.

No war?,

No chance.

Really?

lf not war.. then what happened?

That which happens..

Love.

Just happens..

..after spending two

hours with somebody.

How many other girls have

you spent two hours with?

Eleven?

You creep.

C'mon game..

One thing that neither of

us have never done..

What?

ln broad-day-light.. in front

of everybody.. a kiss..

A long kiss..

Ok.

Who cares for that syrupy

sweet mush..

Eternal promises and

sentimental gush..

Sparks, clash, passionate flash..

Love of today, that's the way to sway,

[ Skipped item nr. 1895 ]

What's your sun-sign?

Listen.. l'm already engaged..

You're flirting..

Why should l flirt?

l too am engaged..

See.. original topaz..

Does she even have a name or

you just call her fiance'?

No she's nameless.. What

kind of question is that?

So what is it?

Anaida..

How did you meet your fiance?

Superman brought us together.
