Once Upon A Time In Mumbai Page #2

five slaps, that makes

six with interest.

Every child had the desire

to be like sultan.

But sultan had only one desire.

Rihana.

The most beautiful and important

link of this story.

Rihana.

Congratulations, rihana ma'am.

You were terrific.

Congratulations.

Give me a chance

as well, please.

Sign my film as well. - Rihana.

Thank you very much for

attending our magazine's party.

My pleasure.

You acted as a child as well...

...and even today you're

a successful star.

Such a long innings, rihana.

How do you feel?

Whenever i would

act as i child...

...it would seem like a game.

And now i work because...

...l'm no longer of

the age to play.

This time you've won the

best actress award.

But don't feel too proud.

Four of my upcoming films

are with kaka.

Do you know what

people call him?

Actually, superstar... - ma'am,

one last question.

You're everyone's dream girl.

But who is your dream man?

It's neither a superstar

nor a jubilee star.

My dream man will be the one...

...that wins my heart

in seven seconds.

Is everything set?

Chandru, stop the car.

Rihana ma'am is here.

Just a minute, brother.

It's your first meeting.

Don't go empty-handed.

This is bigger, it

must be expensive.

Sir, pick anyone you like.

They all cost 25 paise.

Consider that this is the

last guava on the planet.

You won't find anymore guavas.

How much does it cost

now? - Four rupees.

Consider that mumtaz has

grown it herself.

Salim would carry this guava

and not a flower.

How much does it cost

now? - Forty rupees.

Consider that adam ate this

guava and not the apple.

How much does it cost now?

- Four hundred rupees.

Yes.

Four hundred rupees.

Get me a chair.

Why don't you rest here

until he gets a chair?

Women can't rest until men like

you are on this planet.

Don't pretend to be too decent.

You're an open book.

It won't make a difference

if i read a few pages.

It'll benefit you, get it.

Better learn some decency.

It's much more important

for you.

A small gift for you.

Please accept it.

Who are you?

I bought it for four

hundred rupees.

I couldn't find anything

expensive...

...so i bought it for

a high price.

Take a look everyone.

Rihana's admirer has

bought a guava...

...worth four hundred

rupees for her.

You've given it, now get lost.

Would you like to have dinner

tonight with me?

Silly man, have you lost it?

Does rihana have dinner with

ordinary people like you?

Those who have the

same destination...

...meet on the path.

Hey poet, stop reading

your sonnets.

Or i'll knock your lights out.

What is this?

What are you doing?

I'm trying to express my

feelings and you're butting in.

Have you lost your mind?

Do you know who you're

talking to?

I've seen some of your films.

You laugh just like

a dog panting.

I'll have you thrown

out right now.

Laugh. - What is your name?

Laugh. Laugh.

What is your name?

Laugh.

Come here, boy.

Tell him my name.

Sultan mirza.

Sultan... sultan... l'm

terribly sorry.

I really don't know how to

act, sultan... - quiet.

Tonight at eight, i'll

wait for you.

At your favourite spot.

Sultan. Sultan.

Rihana. - Quiet.

Sir, menu. - Potatoes

and cauliflower.

Okay, sir.

Potatoes and cauliflower

today as well?

Right sir.

Sir, your favourite potatoes

and cauliflower

i don't believe it...

...but i knew that you'd

surely come.

Sultan mirza, right.

What are you doing here?

Didn't i say, i'll be waiting

for you at your favourite spot?

So i'm doing just that.

You still remember that.

It's been 15-20 days since

that incident. - 18.

I've been waiting for

the past 18 days...

...and eating potatoes and

cauliflower everyday.

Why potatoes and cauliflower?

I heard that it's

your favourite.

Shall i order it for you?

You'll have to eat alone

today as well.

I'm not here to see you...

...but for hearing the

story of a film.

And order bitter gourd today.

I like that as well.

Ismail. - Yes, sir.

Bitter gourd. - Okay, sir.

Are you here to listen

to a story...

...or will our story

finally move ahead?

A restless man ends up

burning his tongue...

...and can't savour

the food either.

Can i say something?

Whenever any hero touches

you on screen...

i close my eyes.

Why is that?

I don't know.

Whenever you're on the screen...

...l'm seated on the seat.

Why is that?

I don't know.

That film 'unpade bhav'.

When you tell the hero...

...that i'm pregnant

with your child.

I swear, you weren't

looking pregnant...

...and i even decided

a name for the baby.

Can i... touch you once?

- Why is that?

I always bought a ticket

to see you.

Today when you're before me...

...i want to see whether it's

a dream or reality.

Who are you? - Sultan mirza.

I know your name and have

seen its effect.

But who is sultan mirza.

- I don't know.

Don't ask why is that.

Happy birthday.

Do you have a dictionary...

...which makes it easy for

you to understand?

Why is that?

You said that it's your

birthday celebration.

But it's just the two of us.

I heard that two people

can make up a world.

Can't we at least celebrate?

And anyway i'm celebrating

for the first time.

Why is that?

I never came across anyone...

...who was happy to see me alive.

I never enjoyed celebrating

my birthday either.

Many people would arrive

with lots of gifts...

...and i had to pay the price.

And that was not agreeable.

Even today those moments

give me a nightmare.

I've brought three

gifts for you.

There's a riddle

with every gift.

If you solve it, the

gift will be yours.

The first gift.

Since childhood you've been

in and out of this thing.

One such thing.

Jail. - No.

Handcuffs.

White shirt. Just

as you like it.

Don't you like colours? - No.

I love black. - The reason

for this liking.

I spent my childhood

in dark nights...

...and my youth doing dark deeds.

I used to work at the docks.

I would fill coal in the crates.

And that darkness became

a part of me.

To be precise, i would

shed black tears...

...and see black dreams.

Since then these eyes

haven't rested.

My second gift.

It contains something that

you've kept away from your neck.

That law.

It's a tie

have you ever seen

me wearing a tie?

Have you seen me eating a guava?

But you did bring it for me.

You can forget about

the third riddle.

It's a watch.

Take a look how it is.

What happened? Didn't

you like it?

But it isn't working.

Mr. Mirza, it doesn't

function on its own.

Wear it on your wrist.

It will work according

to your heartbeat.

I hope the heartbeat

controls this thing.

This shouldn't control

my heartbeats.

Because if it stops

then i might...

i finally found you.

God brought me closer to you.

I chanted only you.

I sung only about you.

I finally found you.

I hid you from everyone.

You were my only dream.

I dreamed only about you.

You entered my life and

made it complete.

Love became my religion

and my creed.

I finally found you.

God brought me closer to you.
