Come on, let's go!

Shankranna!

I will leave.

You take care of yourself,

Hey Nikki...

Listen to me...

...Don't leave Nikki.

At least have lunch and go!

Don't go. Fine, it's my fault.

We won't talk about films.

Nikki...Nikki...

Seriously?

Five of you stay in this room'?

Isn't it difficult?

Did you really want this kind of life?

Go to the village, and take

care of your land and parents.

OK?

Get married and have children!

The life of a theater owner...

is like the films

he runs in the theater...

No one knows what will happen.

These people are not good.

They may do anything to you.

Five guys have come...

How will you pay their salaries?

Put it in the next month's account...

OK...what is this print molding here?

Didn't I tell you

I made a picture once?

That one will never

see the light of day.

Toss it out as scrap.

The audience didn't see it...

...at least let the

cockroaches get a viewing.

What are you doing Nikki'?

Shankranna made a film once.

It was never released.

I will release it.

I too feel the pain

of Shankranna's death.

But I don't think he would

want you to continue here...

I know him better than you.

Try and understand what I am saying!

There is nothing here.

Improving this place

would a waste of time...

He had no one but me.

I would have never

left the talkies and gone.

- It's you who upset things...

- What? Me?

If I hadn't gone with

those foreign women...

I would have

been around to help him!

I sent you with those girls

so you could learn English...

and get a good job!

Look, I don't care what happens.

I will make Shankranna's

dreams come true.

Look this is how I am.

I can only call a talkies talkies...

and not a theater...

If you want to stay, you can...

...if not...

If not?

You don't like me.

You want someone educated,

English-speaking...

...well-dressed and

with a good income.

Not me!

Or is it that...

...you don't want me?

Don't you have a girl?

Why do you bother with

that run-down theater?

.And risk your girl's life too?

The sky fell to the ground

And the boat of my dreams drowned

The Earth turned barren

And my dreams lie shattered

My life itself is pawned

My dignity shamed on the streets

My memories sold for nothing

Left clutching nothing but straws

Why?

Isn't this your second

attempt to kill him?

Will you sign a confession?

Can you tell me anything

about this pill?

What is this Lucia?

It's a dream pill.

That I know.

But what is a dream pill?

How does it work?

It's a cheesy name for a pill actually.

It helps you with lucid dreaming.

So...lucid, Lucia.

What is lucid dreaming?

Look, we all dream right?

We all have dreams which we

often don't remember or care about.

But, lucid dreaming,

it's a different thing...

Basically you get to chose

who you want to be in your dreams...

...so you can construct

your dreams and enjoy them.

Why is it harmful?

It's not harmful as long

as you do it without taking these...

What do these pills do?

They have a chemical that makes you

remember your dream like you lived it.

Every time you go back to sleep

your dream starts playing like a film.

You can do all those things in a

dream which you can't do in real life.

Hello?

Yeah, you are right.

About what?

That girl is lying...

She thinks if the

case is solved quickly...

the court may grant euthanasia.

I can give you more information...

Please come,

I'll make arrangements for it.

Please buy the ticket brothers...

only 30 rupees!

Hey Nikki, how are you?

Oh come, please...

Thanks for coming.

There's no one who I can call my own.

Shankranna...his picture...

...one time...

...it must run...

People inside...

...a lot of people

must come...full full.

...Shankranna's dream...

...must come true.

Hi, Anna?

Thank you...

Why are there no servants?

I sent them off.

Why?

I didn't feel like

having anyone around...

I like being alone.

Nikki...

I am sorry.

Shwetha, you have done

what you felt like doing.

You don't have to be sorry.

I still love you...

Sorry about that...

it will heal quickly.

Don't worry!

Why don't you like me acting?

I have to know.

I can't explain what or why.

One day you will

find out for yourself.

We will meet then.

OK?

Thank you

Are you in an illusion

or is the illusion within?

Are you within the body

Or is the body within you?

Are you in a dream

Or is the dream within you?

Are you in the intoxication

Or is the intoxication within?

Are you in the whirlpool of love

That splits body and mind?

The moment you left,

My heart is filled with your memories

Only you fill up

this chest of memories

See that single teardrop

In the eye of that lonely cloud,

my beloved.

Who is that singing

songs of heartbeats

Even though it cannot

be heard or seen?

This love is an illusion,

It hurts even when you are happy

The shadow of loneliness

Haunts me day and night

The word love spells trouble

When will you come?

It feels like my heart is stopped

The moment you vanished,

My heart yearns for your presence

My soul yearns to reconcile

and merge with you

This is a boat without an oarsman

And the agony of a lonely journey

It is a game of shadow boxing

I pray this gets over now

Are you in an illusion

or is the illusion within?

Are you within the body

or is the body within you

Are you in the whirlpool of love

That splits body and mind?

Are you in a dream

Or is the dream within you?

Are you in the intoxication

Or is the intoxication within?

Love found in an intoxicated dream

Is it doomed to fail?

That looks so cool!

And the colors! So amazing!

So what? Do you like it?

Tell me! Do you like it?

Thank you!

Thank you!

Don't cry!

You must be happy!

Don't cry!

Shankranna...

I have readied the talkies.

I have released your picture...

Namaste...

while Gandhinagar mourns that

there is no Kannada audience...

...a miracle is occurring here.

Who could imagine that

a movie made 15 years ago...

...would be released

in such a grand fashion.

The fortune of this ruined theater

has been changed by four foreign girls...

Come, let's speak to them.

- Hello...

- Hi!

Do you know Kannada?

A little...

Why are you interested

in keeping this theater alive?

For our friend Nikki...

Hmm...let's find out who Nikki is...come.

Where can we find Nikki?

Nikki's not here.

A customer has come for you...

Let's look for Nikki,

right after this small break!

Garlic parmesan bread

sticks with Italian seasoning

and one more...

Spring fling regular

with olives and corn

and a lemon mojito...please.

One minute...

Will you...

...will you marry me?

What did you say?

Will you mm...marry me?

I don't know English.

Look girl...

if you and your baldy

dad stay in our talkies...

...and make some snacks...

it will help us...

We all can be happy...

...what do you say?

Oh, is that all?

Also what I said in English...

and I will wear clothes

the way you want me to...

Just say yes girl...

If you go back to
