Mann Page #6

Shut up! lf you want a mad person,

catch him. Do you know...

...he refused crores of rupees

only because he's fallen in love.

Don't listen to this mad fellow.

Let's take him away

to the mental hospital.

Why are you all screaming?

- Let me speak to Raj, please.

- He's not in the office.

lf he returns, tell him

that l had telephoned.

- Ms Priya?

- Yes.

Ask him to telephone immediately.

l am at home.

All right, madam!

Here l am!

Where were you? l wanted to

speak to you urgently.

l too want to speak

to you urgently.

What a fool l have been!

l have been promising to marry

you since the past two years.

But today, l happened to

meet a lover boy.

What was his name?

Yes! Dev Karan Singh!

What a lover he is!

He has opened my eyes, Priya.

l've decided that l will

marry you next week itself.

Raj, it's something else.

What can be more special than this?

Please be seated, Raj.

l was travelling in the ship, and...

And what?

Congratulations, dear nephew!

- Greetings, Uncle.

- Bless you!

Congratulations, Priya. This fool

told us over the telephone.

l was overjoyed to hear

the news of marriage.

And we wasted no time,

and came rushing here.

Come on!

Here's the jewellery and this

dress for our daughter-in-law!

And the bridegroom's brother-in-law

comes for free!

You've been amazing, Priya!

You got him to agree to marriage!

Before brother changes his mind,

the marriage should take place soon.

With a lot of fanfare!

What say, Uncle? How about

starting from tomorrow itself?

Why tomorrow? Let's start

from now itself.

My obeisances, Uncle.

May you drink

all the time, my dear!

Thank you for rescuing me

from that mental hospital.

lf l had stayed there

any longer...

...those mad people would

have raped me mentally.

You find it amusing?

Do you know...there was

a wild madman among them.

All night long, l was

explaining to him...

...that it's my stomach,

not a drum.

Still, that scoundrel kept on

pounding on my stomach all night.

You find it amusing?

You may laugh!

But you will weep when you get over

your fascination towards love.

You know what? Let's surrender to

Singhania. Or else we will starve!

Let's go. Our problem

has been solved.

- What is it?

- Perhaps you need a painter.

l am a painter.

What do you want to paint?

- A speed-breaker!

- What? A speed-breaker?

A black strip, and a white strip!

Understand?

Shall l give you a slap?

You are asking a great painter

like Dev Karan Singh...

...to paint a speed-breaker?

You old man, l can blow you

away to your grave!

You had better not comment

about my health!

l am very touchy

about health matters!

Touchy, did you say?

Please don't mind what he says.

l'm prepared to paint.

Then pick up the paint,

and get going.

Thank you.

Let's go.

l should hit you once!

Why're you painting

a speed-breaker?

- What do you mean by that?

- Are you in love or what?

All lovers are painting

speed-breakers these days.

This is the source

of my livelihood.

- Give me a bidi.

- Here you are!

Should l go searching

for a match-stick?

- Go on.

- All right, then.

Here's 350 rupees.

Your day's earnings.

Look, Nattu. My life's

first earning.

- l will buy canvas with it.

- And l will buy some bread.

l am starving, friend!

Come on.

The food is ready.

Come on.

Eating food after a gap of two

days has its own charm.

Why don't you eat too?

You eat. l will eat later.

Shall l say something?

That girl must be truly amazing

to have transformed a demon like you.

Tell me, friend. How does

your Priya look?

How does she speak, and laugh?

My Priya is very beautiful.

Like these colours.

Pink eyes. Golden voice.

A smile like the

colours of a rainbow.

- What have you done, Dev?

- Why? Aren't the paintings nice?

They are very good!

You have created magic, my friend!

What wonderful paintings!

They will fetch fancy prices!

And this one...

lt's not completed yet.

Then complete it quickly. There

will be many takers for this one!

- No. l will never sell this one.

- Why?

lt's meant for Priya.

Only Priya will be able to understand

that this is not merely a painting...

...but a feeling, a moment...

lt's a portrait of my love.

Priya, why did you walk out?

Raj, l want to tell you something.

l know what you want to tell me.

You know it?!

Yes. And l'm amazed it took you

so long to speak your mind.

The wedding celebration have begun.

Now, are you out of your mind?

Don't you understand that all l want

is to make you happy?

Well, l didn't tell you this.

But l decided to invite them.

What?

Look... over there.

- Greetings.

- Congratulations!

This is very selfish of you, Priya.

Ever since you found Raj...

- You've all but forgotten us.

- Right!

And Raj came over personally to

the orphanage to invite us.

Raj has treated us with great respect.

That l shall never forget.

They never invite orphans to a wedding.

l'm grateful.

To Priya, you are family.

That makes you my in-laws.

l can't wed my bride unless

the brides' people are present.

And the bridesmaids mustn't

let slip this chance...

...of making the bridegroom

dance to your tune.

To the centrestage, ladies!

Drag him along.

l'm so happy today! He gives you

such respect. He loves you very much!

You're lucky. You're very lucky.

What's it, my child?

Why are you weeping?

l don't want to marry him.

What are you saying?!

Tell me, what am l going to do?!

What do l do?!

Before you take any decisions.

You should talk to Madhu.

She's been your friend ever since

you were a child.

But she's in Bangalore.

With her husband.

No. She's back in the

orphanage. For good.

l'm Priya!

Yes! l'm Priya.

What happened to her?

Someone found her wandering in the

railway station in Bangalore.

He sent us news.

We brought her back.

What about her husband?

Her in-laws?

The husband deserted her

for another woman.

The doctors say that she has

lost her mind completely.

She even tried to kill

herself several times.

She gives up everything

for the sake of a person...

...and out of the blue, he says

that he's leaving her forever.

lt could drive anyone mad.

Even you. Even Raj.

Take her away.

You want to wriggle out

of the marriage.

But have you considered

the consequences?

Do you think Raj will be able to

overcome the shock?

Do you want Raj to end up like Madhu?

Do you want to leave him

masticating on your memories...

...with every passing moment

more dead than alive?

l agree that it'd make you happy

to marry the man you love.

But don't you think it's your duty to

sacrifice your love for Raj's sake?

But the decision, you'll have to

take. Will it be love? Or your duty?

But remember this much.

lf you send Raj away...

...no gentleman will ever

dare to marry an orphan.

Dear Dev, Please forgive me.

l won't be able to...

keep the appointment

on 14th February.

Don't think that l don't

love you anymore.

But l can never repay my debt to Raj.
