Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani Page #4

Let go, uncle...

l've made an album, uncle.

- A bomb?

An album... it's art.

- What's that?

''Dons... we had to be''

He's gone mad!

Just throw him out!

We've been humiliated!

Nobody has seen us, l hope!

What difference does that make?

- Right...

We do recognise you!

We badly need publicity, mister.

- Hang on...

the public's gonna cheer you

when l'm through!

How's that?

- Do you know Ramakant Dua?

Rammu, you mean?

l know the bloody double-crosser!

You can take your fame in

the underworld for granted!

Long live, Ramakant Dua!

This is Rhea Banerjee at Mr

Ramakant Dua's welfare rally.

This is where you will

get the publicity.

Recognise me? My childhood

chum... this is appu Jr!

l want to say a few words

about my friend!

l have a right, don't l?

- Sure.

He's a crook! Don't let him speak!

- How can l stop him in the crowd?

Mr Ramakant Dua is a

follower of non-violence.

He has always trodden the

path shown by Mahatma Gandhi.

But he's praising me.

Know why?

- Why?

He lives on Mahatma Gandhi Street!

This man is a liar,

ladies and gentleman!

You know what Bhavna (feelings)

l have for the poor!

Bhavna! That's his maid-servant

whom he has impregnated!

His two illegitimate sons

are here too!

Dad!

Stop it! Call the police!

The attack on Mr Gupta raises serious

questions of security in the city.

The police have been unable to

say anything about the assassin.

All l can say is that Mr Gupta's

condition is stable...

all efforts are being

made to save him.

Who opened fire?

- We'll let you know soon.

Couldn't tell who opened fire,

could we?

l'm glad Mr Gupta has survived...

- l don't want to talk to you!

Not after what you did today!

Aren't you ashamed to bring thugs...

l was ashamed, all right.

You must also have been, to send

all those girls to the restaurant.

May l drop you home?

- What for?

Dad says no girl must

go out alone after 9.30.

Especially when she's

returning from a hospital.

So you have the decency...

- Not me. My father does.

May l leave you home?

- ...l stay close by.

So l'll leave you close-by.

Let me open it...

- l'm doing it anyway.

You can't manage it...

l'll open it for you. lease.

All right. Do it.

This is how you do it.

Hold this and press gently...

Don't worry... it's not

going to rain tonight.

Shall we go?

What happened? Let's go.

l think you must wear this blazer.

- Thanks, l don't need it.

l'm not so delicate anyway.

- But you sure are transparent.

You ought to carry an

umbrella in the monsoons.

What's that in your pocket?

l've been looking

for it for 2 days!

l always have half a banana

and save the other half.

You never know when

you might need it.

You're eating a 2-day old banana!

- lt's older, actually.

Want a bite?

- Never!

May l ask you something personal?

- Go ahead.

Are you human or an ape?

- What do you like?

Where've you been, riya!

l was so worried! lt was raining,...

Mom and... Meet Mr Ajay Bakshi.

He came to drop me home.

Come in!

Aren't you the same guy who...?!

Oh yes! You didn't tell me

about him, Rhea!

And l've told her l'd approve

of any boy she chooses!

And she went and chose you!

What luck!

Sit down...

- You have a lovely house.

Wait... you're drenched, you see.

There's a misunderstanding, Mom.

He's only a...

Let Mom's emotions flow, Rhea!

She says such nice things!

And Bengali! lt's a sweet language.

- He knows our language!

He has a nice smile...

and this is a cute ear-ring.

What're you upto, Rhea?

You have a secure job, l hope?

- lndeed!

l even have a provident fund!

- So you can marry immediately!

Great! l'm free tomorrow...

how about you?

This is the limit!

l won't marry this man, will l?

Why not?!

Here's your coat.

And now go home!

l was kidding, you see.

l only came to drop her home...

and l'm just a friend.

- Really?

l'm famished, but she didn't ask me

if l'd like something to eat!

Would you like something?

... here you are.

Bananas! l follow this principle

with bananas. l have half of it...

and he saves the other half!

... Go on now.

l like this boy, Rhea.

Give it a thought!

Don't cry, sister!

Stop it now.

olitics has claimed

my sister's husband.

Stop crying...

someone take care of her.

lt's a God-given opportunity

with elections round the corner.

What better chance can we have

of garnering sympathy?

My brother-in-law, Magan Gupta,

is dead.

What?

- Tell the boys what to do.

Be careful.

C'mon, guys. Get ready.

lt'll cause riots in the city...

people will die.

So let them die.

l stand to benefit.

The most important aspect

of politics is timing.

Now's the time we can

reap the benefits.

Greetings to all of you!

lease calm down!

You have seen what the Chief

Minister has done to me!

He's doomed...

so he's gone crazy!

He had an assassination

attempt made on me!

But none can kill a man

protected by God!

The bullet grazed my arm...

and hit my brother-in-law!

He is dead. And my sister

has been widowed!

We'l1 give them a fitting reply!

But it won't be violent...

Certainly not with fisticuffs!

Down with the Chief Minister!

Who will stop them or

make them see reason?

l will perform a prayer

for peace in the city.

oliticians are

fighting for power...

but Mr Ramakant Dua

is praying for peace.

eace for the world.

Do something! Dua is getting

all the public sympathy!

Give the riots a communal colour

and blame it on Dua.

What's happening to this

city, Ajay? lt's on fire!

There's so much of bloodshed.

- Listen...

What're you doing, Shahid?

- Shooting.

Shooting what?

What are you upto!

laying football, l guess.

l know you're at work!

But what frame are you capturing?

Come to me... it's okay...

don't be scared.

Who is this man who has plunged

the city into these riots?

The police have arrested the man

who has started a war...

between two political parties.

But they know little about him.

We will keep you briefed

on the latest developments.

This is the Chief Minister

here, Commissioner.

Tell the press that Ramakant Dua

hired an assassin to fire at him...

so he could get

public sympathy.

How can l say that, sir?

- lt's a lie, all right.

lssue it officially and

it'll become the truth.

Do as l say, or you will be

posted at Lal Ganj!

Ramakant Dua here.

l'm very tense, sir...

- l'll rid you of the tension.

Make an announcement that the man

arrested, belongs to the CM's party.

lnvestigations are underway, sir...

- Remember this much, Commissioner.

l may be the Chief Minister soon.

They ask me to pin the

blame on each other!

But how about me?

Am l not human?

Each one of them makes me

dance like a puppet!

The press is waiting outside.

They need to be told something.

What will l tell the press?

l don't know!

Let's use the ''foreign hand'', sir.

lt'll keep them busy for a month.

The foreign hand! Correct!

Who's this man, sir?

Does he belong to a political party?

l'm here to answer your questions!
