Neel Kamal

1

Your art has so much beauty Chitrasen.

It's magic.

It seems as though she saw me...

and she shied away.

Her dancing feet stood still.

Her shaking body stands as a statue...

as though a stranger touched her.

With a touch of the art from your hands...

even vulgarity seems holy.

I didn't even think...

...that art can be so great and grand.

Really...your have brought heaven...

on earth.

This is by your grace Maharaj!

An artist just sculpts the stone

and makes the statue.

But only connoisseur like you can

determine...

...that the artist has seen his dreams

come true in these statues.

These are not only stone statues

for him...

...but are live dancers.

In which youth and vigor is

displayed.

I'm grateful to you Maharaj!

I should be grateful to you

Chitrasen!

Kingdoms rise and fall...

So many kings take birth...

...and so many die in the same place.

But your paintings and statues are

immortal.

On their still lips, are the songs of

our flourishing kingdom.

Will be sung forever and ever!

Artist!...l want to reward you!

But what to give you?

Maharaj, giving credit to the artist's

art is everything for him.

But that doesn't satisfy me.

How can I ever prove to myself that

I gave credit to your art.

Chitrasen, you tell me what should I do.

What should I offer you?

This is the most difficult part Maharaj.

The face that gave me life to work

on these...

...the one who inspired my heart

to create these...

...that is someone else Maharaj.

That is someone else.

If she can be given as a reward,

then only you can give it.

If I ask for that, will you give it

to me?

Oh!..So my artist is in love with

someone?

Do not forget that I am a king.

A king can give you whatever

you want.

Tell me who is it?

My heart, my life, my inspiration...

this is it Maharaj.

You are the king Maharaj!

You can give whatever you wish.

Please give me this gift.

Please give it!

Bring this famous artist to my

special hall.

What kind of justice is this Maharaj?

Why am I brought here in shackles?

You were the one who asked what do

I want?

Is this what I wanted, to be

shackled like this?

That I be brought here like a prisoner?

Is this what I asked for Maharaj?

ls this what?

You asked for death!

But I want to grant you life.

I do not want an artist like you

to be killed for no reason.

Chitrasen, there is still time to deny

any relationship to Neel Kamal!

How can I say that Maharaj?

How can I?

How can I say that there's no relation

between a nightingale, and the moon?

How can I say that a honeybee can

survive without a flower?

How can I say?

Chitrasen, you are slinging mud on

the Kingdom's pride!

No Maharaj, I'm not doing such a thing!

This was destiny Maharaj!..That I

saw the princess and I liked her.

And she swept me off my feet.

Today in this hall, I confess that I

love the Princess...

...and because of her love and inspiration

I created the palace.

Quiet!

Chitrasen, you are forgetting your

status!

Yes Maharaj, I am a simple artist,

and her a Princess...

...but what does love have to do with

status, caste and creed?

What does the Royal Command have to

do with the meeting of two hearts?

Shut up!...He has disgraced the Princess!

His tongue should be cut off!

What kind of justice is this?

I am being suppressed because I cannot

tell the truth?

My emotions are being suppressed so that

I can't live with my love?

The rich have always weighed a poor mans

love in the scales of riches.

But it was never sold, and never will

be sold!

Chitrasen, I will punish you in such a way

for your mistakes...

That the future generations will shiver

when they hear about you!

The royal swords have always cut

the throat of lovers!

But, love has always triumphed!

And the biggest Emperor's and Kings,

could not destroy love!

And you and your Kingdom cannot

destroy my love!

Quiet sinner!

Take him away and finish him!

The palace which he created and forgot

his status...

...bury him alive before dawn in that

same palace!

And this is my order, that no one

ever mention his name...

...or ever know...

...what happened to this sinner!

Take him away!

And bury him alive!

What will this do Maharaj?...You

cannot kill me and take my love away!

Love is immortal, my love is

stronger than death!

This body will finish, but my

spirit will search for Neel Kamal!

My love will bring Neel Kamal to me!

She must come...she will come!

The world will always mourn

the deaths of those in love.

What a great lover Chitrasen was.

Really, Neel Kamal must have been

beautiful.

That is why Chitrasen built this palace

and made his love immortal.

I wish I were Neel Kamal too.

And a Chitrasen would build a

palace for me.

Why a Chitrasen? There are so many

Chitrasen's waiting for you.

All these are cartoons!

Legs like hen, and face like monkeys.

And they expect to marry me?

Hurry up, the Warden is calling.

Where is Sita?

She was with us...she may be inside.

But what is she doing alone till now?

Neel Kamal, you had to come.

No one else but me.

Chitrasen. Your Chitrasen.

Chitrasen the sculptor, the one

who built this theater for you.

And they buried me alive

between these walls.

Because I loved you.

And the ages have gone by.

The times have changed.

You have changed.

But your Chitrasen hasn't changed.

My love is immortal.

Even in darkness that is death

I have waited for you. Waited...

In belief that one day

you would surely come.

And here you are!

Now no one can separate us.

No one can take you away from me.

Sita, what are you doing here?

Everyone is looking for you.

What happened?

Why don't you speak?

Why don't you speak, Sita?

She has fainted!

Leave me. Let me go.

- I won't.

If the warden gets up,

we'll be fined.

The train is late. We're stuck here

till 5 in the morning.

And she's fast asleep.

Who is it?

Neel Kamal, why are you leaving me?

Is my wait never to end?

Come to me. Come to me, Neel Kamal.

Are you out of your mind?

Do you want to die?

I...? Did I...?

I don't remember anything.

Strange! You don't remember?

You would've been run down

under that train. I saved you.

But I was supposed to

take that train home!

My friends must be waiting for me.

What do I do now?

No need to worry. I'll drop you

at the station. I have a car.

She should be here any moment.

- Sorry. Please cancel her ticket.

I'll have to cancel

all the tickets.

I can't leave her here.

I'm responsible for her.

Strange. Why would Sita

vanish into the darkness?

Something must've

happened to her.

Looks like we will have

to stay back.

What if she doesn't turn up?

All the tickets to tomorrows

performance have been sold out.

And Sita is the leading lady

in both the dance items.

Here comes your leading lady.

With the leading man in tow!

Sita, give him back his coat.

Why don't you say who he was?

This is a disgrace!

I never expected this from you!

What happened?

- You fell on her.

What's this "oui"?
