Kaala Page #4
So...
But...
...I cant do anything alone
It's our Dharavi
We must develop it together!
When Dharavi was a garbage dump
We are now the
centre of the city, right?
Everyones eyeing us now
- Rightly said
Govt. is backing them too
We have to be careful
If we stand together
nobody can do anything
-'Salaam'. 'Salaam'
- Sure Bawa. One tight slap!
- Yes Kaala
- We must!
Electricity Board, I tell you!
- Sister, good tea. See you
- Thanks, Anna
Bawa!
with Arise Movement, you heard?
For every new building in Dharavi...
...Perumalsamy gets two flats free
Like a bribe
These people are
unaware of it
Why cant they consult us?
- Not yet, Anna
Nobody's here, Bawa
Ya!
- Bawa...Bawa...!
- SSSHHH
'What's your name?'
- 'Tell her your name'
- 'Say it, dear'
- 'Come on, say your name'
- 'No, I won't'
'Say it'
BBBAAAH!
My darling!
My dearest!
Bawa, She gave us a shock!
Zareena!
You are the
Madam from Africa, is it!
How are you?
All good?
I am good, Anna
Karikaala!
'Fantastic!'
Only Zareena has the guts
to call you by your name
Even my sister doesn't!
'Am I right Akka?'
W-W-When did you come?
Did you e-e-eat anything?
- Are...you good?
- Why? What happened?
Is your mouth
typing a telegram?
'Calm down! Relax!'
'My Akka is making amends!'
Coffee or tea?
COFFEE, COFFEE!
She drinks...
'Coffee, it seems
You havent forgotten?!'
Rajappa!
Akka!
Come in
Get up from here
You too
- Ok Akka
Hey, Akka is creating
a space for my Bawa!
Get in all of you
- Move
- Are you all here?
Go clean the jeep, go
Akka, give me a coffee too
'Bawa, You carry on'
Hey, Kiddos! Stop peeping
Get in
Bawa is struggling to talk
Staring at him!
(clears throat)
So nice Karikaala
It is so nice to see you
It's been so many years and...
You look...you look well
Wow!
You can talk so much, is it?
It has taken me so many years
to know this
So...
How are you, then?
Are you going to be here from now?
Why?
You want to send me back?
I am going to be here
I am going to work here
I need to meet builders
regarding the tender
I need your help
I will stand by anything
that is good
Lenin works with you, right?
Lenin
Lenin is very supportive
You have brought him up well
Very activeBold
Just like you!
My Darling
My Dearest
What is it...
...your eyes recite?
Can there be rains
Without dark clouds here!
Can there be wounds
Time wouldn't heal!
- Thanks
- I have put less sugar
Why less?
Add more...
No!
'Sugarless coffee is all you will get'
Could have putsugar...
'Even after 30 years, he remembers'
This coffee is very nice
S...Sorry!
Coffee is good
No, No, No, No
I know Englees!
- Thanks
- 'Nice'
'No mention'
- Akka. Come here
- Ya!
Joking unaware of the situation
What is it?
What?
Ex- lovers have met
They will have so much to talk
Why are you a hindrance?
One slap
your head will turn
Charumathi!
Ey, Bharathi!
Look, she is calling
She only responds
if you call her 'Bharathi'
- Wait. Eat something
- No. No
My daughter is waiting
- Some other day
- Alright
See you all
'Come often, Bawa will like it
Bye, Karikaala
See you
'Lenin!'
Akka!
How do they drink this?
Why do you drink it then?
Those days
'this land was filled with
sludge and wild grass'
'When our people came here
for jobs, with their kith and kin'
'Veerayyan would
help them make huts'
'He was the centre of everything'
'Huts with 4 logs and a tarpaulin'
'Then half built walls and tin roofs'
'We owe our life here, today...'
'...to your grandpa Veerayyan'
'Every time...'
'...we tried to set up a place
there were so many problems'
'This Hari...'
'...big leader...my foot!'
'He was a nobody
compared to Veerayyan'
'Hari was supported by the ruling party'
They waited till we
took a space, readied it and built houses
Then they would come to...
...chase our people away
Brave Veerayyan!
'Youngsters from the make-shift dorms
backed him'
'Hands that toiled in farms
Won't they know to take up arms?'
'Hari Daada couldnt do anything here'
'Veerayyan ruled over Dharavi like that'
Hari couldnt take it
Suddenly...
...Indira Gandhi declared Emergency
'Hari used the situation
and entered Dharavi with the police'
'To protect themselves
Veerayyan and Kaala...'
'...jumped into
Pathamadai Ayubs house'
'There was no electricity back then'
It was pitch-black
Zareena came with a chimney lamp
Wow! Just wow!
Bawa was swept away
Uncle's heart must have
skipped a beat, right?
Absolutely. Absolutely!
'Akka. Look!'
They had just started
SIWS Junior College
My College...
the water pump
at the coconut tree chawl...
at the toilet near the temple...
...Aurora theatre
I didn't miss out
on a single place
I followed her
like a madman
The news about our love
spread like wildfire
his relatives and my relatives...
...would accept
our relationship so soon
A life with my favorite person...
...was starting and I was excited about it
Thinking about it
makes me happy still!
But
In his desperation
to take over Dharavi...
this Hari Daada...
...was trying to finish
off Veerayyan somehow
He used Kaalas wedding
as an opportunity
They killed anyone
who came their way
Our people didnt know what to do
Hari Daada slaughtered Veerayyan
That day, that fire...
separated Kaala and Zareena forever
Our dreams went up in flames
To get to know
that Karikaaladu was fine...
...took me so many years
Fearing the riots,
my grandparents...
...took me to Nasik
At that age I couldnt
decide what to do
A Pastor sent me
to the US to study
Showing riots as a reason
they banished Kaala
Almost like an exile
We didnt know where
Kaala was so lost
with no information on Zareena
We couldn't find out
about her at all
Hasnt taken it since
'I got married unaware of all this'
Hindi sad songs, all the time
Between you and me
It would go on and on
Will I be quiet?
I would even the score
with an "Ilayaraja" song
Zareena!
He would call in a hurry
Then he will salvage it somehow
I used to curse my fate
Doesn't dad love you?
Go ask Kaala that!
He is a nobody
without this Swarna
'Aunty!'
I think Uncle is smitten by Zareena
Why wouldnt he!
Doesnt she look like "Madhuri Dixit"?
'Hey! My Akka is the best'
Come in, Zareena
No. I got some work
Lenin?!
Lenin?
Let me call him
Hey Lenin!
Where is he?
Hey, LENIN!
- Pa?
- Uncle?
- Wh..wh...where is he?
- What happened Uncle?
- WHERE?
- Up there
There!
Where the hell did he disappear?
- Hey! Come soon
- What happened?
- Zareena is waiting
- Who?!
Zareena is waiting!
Quick. Go
'Hello, Madam'
What is happening?
- 'Were you busy?'
'I was getting ready'
What's all this ruckus?
'Looks like it will rain'
