- I'm the only one...

You should all be in jail.

Acting like a big shot.

Whose money are you spending?

Whose car are you driving?

- You're cmzy, b*tch.

You're all criminals.

Vicky!

- Let go of me, a**hole.

Vicky!

You can't bring me down.

- Want to hit me, a**hole?

I'll hit right back.

Get out of here. Drunk slut.

510p it!

Get the hell out.

- Poonam.

No more films with you.

Damn whore.

Poonam! Wait.

Sonu, I'm warning you! You leave and...

- Don't threaten me.

What's this bullshit?

- Go back to your work. Poonam!

Listen.

The thing is,

the queen's costume is ruined.

So what do I wear?

Can I at least wear the crown?

You're the queen...

Who else wears the crown?

Everybody out!

Except the cameraman and Jolly.

You'll stay, no?

- Sure.

We're right here.

Roll it!

Are you sad?

Come on then.

Come on.

Let's have some fun.

People are staring.

No one is staring.

Hey, Poonam.

Excuse me?

You...

Ram Kishan Production?

You...

- You work in films?

I'm a director.

Come and see me.

For a screen test.

The thing is,

my uncle doesn't like all this.

If he finds out,

it'll become a little difficult.

But once you're a star,

no one will have any problem.

I'm right, aren't I?

- Maybe.

You have a phone number?

- I've got to go.

I'm going.

Vicky.

Poonam.

Don't go.

Your money.

We are even.

You didn't forget me?

Tiku told me all about you.

I hear you're really connected.

No, I'm just searching

for a new heroine, so...

You're humble.

You're making a film with Kumar Gaumv?

- No, I'm thinking about it.

Why?

- I don't really want to work with him.

So, what's the name of your film?

Well, it's titled... Miss Lovely.

A love story. Romantic.

Pinky.

- Pinky.

If my uncle picks up,

don't answer.

100,000 rupees per reel.

Reasonable, no?

- Vicky, want me to smash your skull?

Don't bother with him.

We deal with PK. Call him.

Vicky!

- Leave him and get PK on the phone.

He said let go of me.

- Drop it. Get PK on the phone.

Yes, call him.

- I won't haggle with this beggar.

Go ahead, call PK.

Sir, this price was set by him, not me.

What?

- He's buying up all your suppliers.

All right! Everybody out.

Pappu.

Throw everyone out.

C'mon, get out.

Out, everybody!

And you piss off as well.

So where's the dough from?

Tell me.

You need a scriptwriter?

- You'll help me, right?

So, how much more can you offer?

Find another fifty grand, I'll fix it.

Something romantic, right? Superb.

Why so worried? C'mon, shake my hand.

All right, great. Let's party.

You sure you'll help?

- You need a scriptwriter, right?

Don't be nervous.

C'mon, drink up.

You're in good hands. You understand?

Say something, Deepnk.

There has ta be n way.

There is only one way.

You're here?

I always knew

you would come.

Mili...

I've brought you owers!

I can't tell you how much

the producers loved your photos.

They could call you any day now:

"Pinky, where are you?"

I don't believe you.

Only you can be "Miss Lovely".

I'll tell you something?

Shooting starts in a month.

You must take the signing amount.

But I don't even know how to act.

What's with acting?

Anyone can do it.

You've got to have strong eyes,

a nice-looking face, which you have...

They need a fresh face... you are...

- I should go.

I'll drop you.

- No.

I'll get a taxi and drop...

- I said no.

The neighbours will see you and talk.

Wait a moment, Sir.

Just...

Sir, what are you trying to say?

I look like a thief?

Keep your voice down.

What would you like?

That we start an enquiry?

Maybe I should call your family...

- No, don't, Sir. Please.

If you'd like...

I could help you.

Give me two minutes.

Just two minutes. I'll be back.

I've got the advance.

Haw do I QKpRIiH what she was like?

I don't know what it was about her.

But she was like me.

We were the same.

just felt I could do anything

in the world for her.

Because I knew

she'd do anything in the world for me.

How are you liking it?

Special, isn't it?

Just relax, ok?

I'll go get us something.

Aren't you going to introduce me

to your friend?

Pinky, my brother, Vicky.

- Pinky.

What a striking name.

Remember, I told you.

Ajmer, on the train...

Where were you?

I was looking for you.

But you've got better things to do.

C'mon f***er, we need you.

We'll go somewhere else.

Listen. One minute.

I can't do this.

- But what's the matter. C'mon?

Tell me, what's the matter?

Listen to me. What's wrong?

Look.

You lied to me from the start.

What kind of heroine

are you going to make me?

You can't even take care of yourself.

Pinky.

At least listen to me.

Please don't go, Pinky.

What?

- It's your wedding night.

Got it.

- Your husband's impotent.

Would it kill you

to get a few more owers?

Might make the damn room

smell a little nicer.

Give me a hot shot.

You'll be famous.

It's a real pleasure

to work with people like you.

Any thought on your next film?

Let's try something fresh...

School girls...

who crave something new from life.

Hey!

Tell him that I need to speak to him.

Hey!

He doesn't want to be disturbed.

Vicky... - Where were you?

Get us four chais, quick.

Remember Pinky, the girl I was with...

- Not now.

Listen.

Pinky?

You here?

- You live here?

Why did you do this to me?

I'm sorry, Pinky, for everything.

I didn't mean to...

I didn't know...

What happened?

Why are you crying, Pinky?

He saw me with you.

Your uncle?

Did he hurt you?

You stay here with me, ok?

It's okay, everything will be fine.

I want to show you something.

Close your eyes.

Just for a minute.

C'mon, please, close your eyes.

Don't open them, ok?

I'm only going to make this film

with you.

I'll do anything for you.

Only you matter. What difference

does it make if you or I have the money?

Sonu, I can't take all this.

- No, you'll have to.

I paid Ravi Nagaich an advance.

The guy who wrote "Love Story '85".

Pinky, it's all happening.

It's all ready, it's coming together.

You're going to be a star one day.

Making designs on your brother's girl?

How terrible.

I don't know if I can restrain myself.

At least try.

Sonika.

- Pinky!

Pinky.

Get off me!

I love Sonu.

Oh, the innocence!

All right, then.

Tell him everything.

Tell him.

Lay it out for him, my Sonika.

I didn't know he was your brother.

- Listen.

Sonu can't wash away your sins.

I've tried so hard to find you.

You are special...

That whore Nadia's

going to ruin everything.

Who knew she'd run away like this?

Sir, make something up.

I'm not answering.

PK's going crazy, he wants his reels.

I'll ask him for an extension.

We'll organize girls by tomorrow.

I was just wondering, without Nadia...

I mean, the boys need their money.

We'll call girls, Sir, we'll get some.

- We'll call them, we'll call them.

Get Kimmi.

- But she works for Heel-a now.

We can't keep avoiding him.

PK wants the reels now.

The phone's ringing.

- We haven't shot sh*t.

Calm down.

- Sir, the phone...
