Lage Raho Munna Bhai Page #10

Synopsis: A hilarious underworld gangster known as Munna Bhai falls comically in love with a radio host by the name of Jahnvi, who runs an elders' home, which is taken over by an unscrupulous builder, who gets the residents kicked out ironically with the help of Munna's sidekick, Circuit, while Munna is busy romancing Jahnvi elsewhere. Munna, who is now masquerading as a Professor specializing in the life of Mahatma Gandhi, must now battle his very own forces and the builder - but he has one ally on his side - none other than the great man - Mahatma Gandhi himself. Only trouble is that Munna may have problems convincing everyone about this presence - as he is apparently is the only one who can see and hear him.

You mean he's here?

Right behind me, in full support!

Silence... silence. Please sit down.

Give me 2 minutes,

I'll get the facts out.

Mr Murli, I have 5 questions

for Mr. Gandhi.

He must know the answers.

If you can really see him,

give us his answers.

If the answers are correct, then we

will have no option but to believe you.

Go ahead then.

Question 1:
Bapu, your first name?

Mohandas.

- Mohandas.

Your father's name?

Karamchand.

- Karamchand.

Your mother's name?

"Hey, Bapu doesn't know

his mother's name!"

Tell them, Bapu.

Who conferred the title

'Mahatma' on you?

What was the name of your ashram

in South Africa?

Bapu, tell them. Save my reputation.

I still have 55 seconds left.

You?

Mr. Murli Prasad Sharma is very unwell.

There's a chemical imbalance in his

brain. So, he thinks he sees Gandhi.

I've seen many a case, where

the patients complain they often see...

...their dead parents, wife, or

their children.

If Mr. Gandhi was really here, he

would surely reveal his mother's name.

You have read a lot about him,

but not everything.

He can only answer those questions

to which you know the answers!

What you don't know, your

Gandhi illusion' also will not know.

Now will you please come here.

- Go, Munna!

These are the answers to the questions.

Read them and ask Bapu again.

And I'm sure he'll answer this time.

- "Putlibai. "'

Your mother's name?

- Putlibai.

- "Rabindranath Tagore. "'

Who conferred the title 'Mahatma'...

- Rabindranath Tagore.

- "Tolstoy Farm. "'

Your 'ashram' in South Africa was called...?

- Tolstoy Farm.

Get well soon, Munna!

Circuit...

Circuit, you see Bapu, don't you?

Yeah... Bro.

Do you see him now?

Eh... do you?

See, there he is.

Hello, Bapu! How are you?

You lied to me. Why?

Why'd you lie to me?

What could I have said, Bro?

- That I'm crazy.

The doc's right about the chemical

Cock-up in my head!

Don't say that, Bro.

- I'm an idiot...

I relied on Bapu to fight my battles.

Circuit, I've gone mad.

There's no Bapu.

My brain's messed up.

I'm mad! Mad!

- No, Bro, no!

You'll be fine, Bro!

Let's go home!

I'm not living here anymore. I want

to go back to the village, Circuit.

Oye, congratulations!

- Congratulations to you too.

Hey, what are you gonna do

in the village?

You can't even plough!

Bro, if I work the plough,

those bulls will be jobless!

Hey, we could become...

History Professors in the village!

We know nothing about history.

So what? Neither do those villagers!

Hey Circuit!

- Yeah, Bro.

I'm missing Jhanvi a lot.

Wanna turn back, Bro?

- Yeah, turn back.

Listen.

...Simran isn't in her room.

- Where is she?

Let's go.

- Where to?

Anywhere.

Move.

Don't you love the guy?

Hey! Stop it!

Should I call your mom?

Want to marry someone else?

"Stop the car. I said, stop. "'

Telling Simran was a mistake...

Congratulations!

- Have a peg and come!

What did you tell her?

- I said...

What?

If your in-laws ask your birth time,

just make AM to PM.

You told her everything?

Go ahead and kill yourself!

That was your plan, right?

Your mother will weep for months.

I'm sure she chose dress!

Yes, she did!

But Dad's ruined everything.

What's wrong? Tell me.

What can you do?

I have a friend.

He can help for sure.

Jhanvi...

Just talk to him.

What's the hurry to die? There's a train

every 2 minutes. You can die whenever!

Look, let me speak to Jhanvi.

Just once.

Then it's 'Goodbye, Mumbai!'

- She's gone for the day.

Call her from your phone.

She won't speak with you.

Then I'll talk to her on the radio.

Move aside.

Murli, wait!

- Hey, Radiohead! Move!

Hey 'Uncle'. Wait out.

I need to talk to Jhanvi.

Hey, Hair Salon... Move.

Doom graciousness today.

You move and I make a hole

in your head.

Hey, guard... stay there!

Good Morning Mumbai!

Friends, this is my last show.

But it's only for Jhanvi.

Everyone, switch off your radio.

I need to talk to Jhanvi in private.

Private?

Jhanvi, I'm retiring.

Going back to my village.

I Wanted to meet you once

before I left.

Hello Jhanvi...?

- "Hello, Murli?"

Who the hell is this?

- "Victor. "'

Hey Victor. My friend.

Call me back in 2 minutes.

Jhanvi and I are having

a private chat.

"Murli, it's an emergency. "'

- What? Have you blown more money?

Sir, turn on the radio.

Simran's on-air.

I can't base my marriage on a lie,

on a false horoscope!

If I bring bad luck to my husband,

if he dies,...

I won't be able to forgive myself.

The city is riddled with women

with 'cursed stars'...

whose husbands are old,

senile farts - still alive!

Don't believe in superstitious bull!

For some it's not 'bull'...

...Dad should've respected that!

I hate my father.

Hey, don't say that!

He's your Dad!

If I told you his name,

you'd agree with me!

Hey... don't mess with your dad's rep

in public! I know who he is!

Poor guy! He's sick... help him.

Don't abandon him.

He did all this just for you.

He was my hero.

I never thought he'd lie to me.

My father is a cheat.

I'll never go back.

Zip it! When you lied as a kid,

did your father abandon you?

He didn't, right?

He'd reason with you, scold you,

but he never left your side!

Go back.

- There'll be trouble if I do.

There'll be double trouble,

if you don't.

Your dad will have to face it alone.

It's terrible when your own people

abandon you in crisis.

I know that pain too well.

But I cannot lie to my in-laws.

Go back. Tell them the truth.

Let them decide

how they want to react.

They will never agree to this match!

Does your fiance love you

as much as you love him?

I think so.

Then I guarantee

this wedding will happen today.

Victor, take her back.

Uncle, there's something I have to say.

- What's wrong, child?

My stars are cursed.

But your horoscope?

- It was forged.

Why are you telling me now?

I can't start a relationship

with a lie.

You hope to get married

by speaking the truth now?

I love him, Sir!

- Get out.

Get out before I slap you.

Let's go, Sir.

What's the matter, Victor?

- The wedding's off, Murli.

What do you mean 'off'?

"Don't go away Jhanvi. I'll be back.

Till then, listen to a song. "'

Hey, dude!

You 're making a big mistake. You'll

never find such an incredible girl.

Not many girls have the courage

to say the truth in public.

She was born at 11:55 AM.

Is that her fault?

Why be influenced by silly stars?

We cannot ignore the horoscope and

risk our boy dying.

Who are you, chief?

- I'm the astrologer... Batuk Maharaj.

Hey Bro, the oldies lost their home

because of his numerology nonsense.

So now you've spun a new yarn.

The girl's bad luck will kill the groom!

How do you know that?

- I've read both their horoscopes.

Look, chief, you're predictions

can go wrong, too?

It hasn't happened yet.

- Bro, this guy is God.

You know what, you select

the Indian cricket team.

Pick guys with 100 runs

in their horoscope.

India will never lose. 1100- not out.
