being how you were...

I will say yes...

Yes, he's inside...

I will finish him off!

Err... Nikki...

...hi...

How are you?

I am so glad you called me...

I have missed you...

I don't know if you

still love me anymore...

But I still do...

Once in a while, I start to doubt...

I wonder if this is really a dream...

...what do you say?

It may be a nightmare...isn't it Nikki?

If it was only a dream,

would we be speaking like strangers?

It's to end this nightmare

that I called you.

What do you mean?

We were both so happy in real life...

...it's all my fault.

I remember you saying

I will find out for myself

why I shouldn't be an actress.

I think I know why...

Shwetha, I love you...

Don't ever leave me ever again...

I am sorry, in this game of dreaming,

I have hurt you a lot.

I too have hurt you...

Close your eyes...

What?

Close your eyes...

What do you feel right now?

I feel like going far

away with you on a drive...

Nikki...

The confession papers are ready...

...sign them.

You may be right Sanjay...

...but how do you

prove it in the court?

They'll ask for strong evidence.

Who will believe in a dream pill?

This report will not work.

Look at the girl's statement.

Read what Nikhil

said before he jumped...

"All this is a bad dream...

we both were very

happy in real life."

Hah! Tell me,

is there any logic to this?

After all, these are cinema folk,

who can believe them...

The court will decide tomorrow

on allowing Nikhil euthanasia.

The entire film industry and Nikhil's

fans are all awaiting the verdict.

Suvarna news has exclusive footage

of an interview with Nikhil.

We feel this is the appropriate

moment to air this interview.

Welcome to the Suvarna News Studio,

Nikhil.

Thank you, Gaurish.

When I see you, I feel

like asking a lot of questions...

a lot of questions come to mind...

But, importantly...

why do you always

wear these black glasses?

Gaurish, you may know that...

I was involved

in an accident as a boy...

Yes... you lost your

parents in the accident.

I hurt my head in the accident.

I haven't been able

to see any colors since...

Too much light hurts my eyes...

Oh, but no one knows of this Nikhil!

I too did not announce this...

To all our viewers,

the common man, and even me...

A star's life is a big dream...

You are a big star...

What do your dreams look like?

In my dreams,

I want to be an ordinary man, Gaurish.

Common man...

...who according

to you is a common man?

Mmm...l want to get lost

among all these people.

I want eat pani puri

alone on the road.

I want to wait for

a bus at a bus stop.

So you can't do these

things because you are a star...

I did not focus on being a star,

Gaurish.

If my dad had not made money,

if I was an ordinary man...

perhaps I too would

dream of being a star...

This means, you have everything

in life, but you don't want any of it...

I have everything...

but no experience of

the struggle to get everything...

So Nikhil, who are your best friends?

Look Gaurish,

a star has no "best" friends.

Everyone wants my affection...

Whatever I do, they say I am right.

Who is lying?

- I love you...

- Who is telling the truth?

I still love you...

Everyone wants the

star Nikhil, not me...

When I was young,

I was in an accident...

Did he have insomnia?

He was taking medication...

But, it didn't help

him in any way sir...

Sir, your problem is

not regarding sleep...

You see, you don't

even know you are sleeping...

You are unable to dream,

but I have a solution for that.

What was Lucia's drug procedure?

You need to write down your dreams...

The more you write them down...

the dreams will continue...

You will not be able to

differentiate dreams and reality...

The mind has to believe that

your dream life is your real life.

I raised my gun, but he had

already jumped off the terrace...

No one is ready to believe me, sir!

When did you last supply the drug?

Six months ago...

Hello sir...

May I come in?

Namaste, sir!

Ninety lakh damned fools in Bangalore!

Like sheep in a pen!

Me, I am another innocent lamb

My name is Nikki. Not lkki! Nikki!

Life is great, but I can't sleep...

Do you want to save him?

Nikhil, please share with

us one of your favourite dreams.

I have a dream that

comes very often...

...in which I am a

torch shiner in a theater.

An usher?

Yes...

That is your favourite dream?

See, Gaurish...

...everybody goes to the theater.

The torch shiner there

shows them the path.

He takes them to their seat.

But nobody notices his face.

It is as if he is invisible

right in the middle of the crowd.

Well said.

What else happens in your dream?

Thank you.

Where is my seat?

Torch shiner?

There is true love.

A torch shiner like me...

There is a struggle to win that love.

Shouldn't dream

about someone like you.

I like that struggle.

Or is it that you don't want me?

The girl in your dreams,

have you met her in life?

Hmm...

Nikki, wake up...

It's getting late...

...we have to go to the talkies...

Nikki, how long will

you sleep? Get up!

There's a new film in the theater...

We need to go early. Get up!

OK, fine. Get ready quickly...

Six years of marriage,

and you haven't changed a bit...

Go...

Dad...

Nikki, Nikki,

what dreams did you have today?

I was lying on a hospital bed.

Was I there in your dreams?

You were holding my

hands and crying, why?

Take this and feed Chinnu.

You have to drop

her to the school today.

Chinnu, come darling, I will feed you.

Just a little...

Shwetha, Shwetha...

Take this sir.

It's empty. It's completely safe...

Sorry, sorry... sorry!

- Come, come!

- Sorry I am late.

I am ravenous!

Give me what you have prepared.

No. Where is Nikki?

Hey Nikki, come. I am very hungry!

Nikki, I have a surprise for you.

Open it.

Oh... Jane's pizza?
