Raanjhanaa Page #4

Synopsis: The pundit's son Kundan (Dhanush) has fallen for the girl at first sight. That they're both kids makes us dismiss it as a meaningless crush. But a few years later, the boy is still in love with the girl, Zoya (Sonam Kapoor). When she's in school, he follows her around holding her hand and getting slapped in the process. Finally, she relents because of his "consistency". The film shifts cities when Zoya gets into JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University), and through her, we are introduced to the idealistic and political culture of the place. She discovers a long-lost strength as she confronts and then falls for student leader Akram (Abhay Deol). The film takes a turn when Zoya returns to her hometown after eight long years only to find some things changed, and others surprisingly the same.

over and done with this.

That's it. Okay. Yes.

"Proud Banarasi."

"Proud Banarasi."

"Proud Banarasi."

"Proud Banarasi."

"Proud Banarasi."

"Is there is a mess up

or are things messed up?"

"Are we fighting together?

Or are we fighting because we are together."

"Banarasi guy. Banarasi guy."

"Banarasi guy. Banarasi guy."

Great. Now that you

don't need me anymore...

...you even don't recognise me.

I do. Of course.

Since I got you out of this pickle,

won't I get a reward?

Absolutely. Tell me.

What do you want?

Marry me, Zoya.

Are you mad? No. Never.

Okay. Look, I bought

this scooter for you.

But you never sat on it.

You'll have to be my pillion.

You will have to

hold me by my waist.

Not the stepney.

When I put on the breaks,

you'll have to fall on me.

You will have to

laugh at things I say.

You will have to sing with me.

You can do this at least, right?

At least let me feel it.

So be it if not as my girlfriend.

That day, for the first time,

I saw you so upset.

I was so scared.

Yes, I stepped over the line.

Okay, I swear. I'll never ever

get mad at you again.

Okay. I have something to say.

Go ahead.

Thank you. You saved my life.

I would've been dead otherwise.

Me too.

Come what may. I would've never

have married that boy.

I love someone else.

I know. But you've never said it.

I am telling now. There is a boy.

He studies with me in Delhi JNU.

I'll give up my life

if I don't marry him.

I love him a lot.

'Three years in Aligarh had

left me really weak, Kundan.'

'My confidence was

at an all time low.'

'Leave the house meekly.

And come back meekly.'

'Every girl was trained

to be the ideal wife.'

'Aunt was running a

coaching institute and not a house.'

'I was good at studies.

So teachers told...'

'...me that I should study in Delhi.'

Vote for Aisha. Vote for Aisha.

'So, after a lot of struggle...'

'...I came to JNU,

after completing my 12th.'

'I had to repeat 9th again...'

'...due to which, there was a gap year.'

'I was having trouble getting admission.'

'I had adequate marks,

but couldn't get admission.'

'When I arrived at JNU,

it was election time.'

Parveen, go from here.

Wait there.

I wish to see Mr. Anand.

- I had asked you to do that.

Yes.

Look, my marks are up to the mark.

But I am not getting admission.

Why? - Because I took a year's break.

Do this. Be there outside

VC's office tomorrow at 11.

Tomorrow at 11.

- Okay. Please.

Did you call him or not?

'That day I saw him

for the first time.'

'An ordinary guy in a pant and shirt.'

'He had innocence in his eyes.

But he was fearless.'

'He came across like a born leader.'

'When I saw him

I felt something which...'

'...I had never felt in 21-22 years.'

'During the conversation,

he lost his cool a number of times.'

'He banged on the table.

Threw things around.'

'But he never raised his voice.

Nor did he threaten.'

'And nor was he disrespectful.'

- I'm talking to you.

'And the VC had to relent.'

- Calm down.

'And they got up,

and left just quietly.'

He wasn't as tough as he looked.

He readily agreed to all our demands.

Excuse me.

- Listen, come here.

Thank you.

- Aunty, that's great.

Could've said that with a smile.

'That was my first meeting with him.'

'After that, I saw on the

day of the election results.'

Catch. Stop there.

I said stop.

Catch him.

Catch him from that side.

Hi!

We won!

We won!

We won!

So, we can stop running now.

Uncle, 3 cups of tea.

You can drink with the President today.

Enjoy.

Consider that,

a farmer has four children.

And, there's a bowl of porridge

prepared in his home.

But, I say why not make

two bowls of porridge?

They'll

"say We've material enough for just one."

I believe, the rest of it

is at the minister's home.

There's one thing

I would like to say.

When the poor won't

have anything to eat...

...they'll start eating the rich.

War. War. American war.

American war.

America...

All of you sing really well.

You should quit social work

and start a band.

And madam, you're so beautiful

that you should...

...quit college and become an actress.

No. Don't say that.

Ever since this girl has

come to the university...

...it seems more likeable, right?

You are right.

Escapism is the easiest thing

in this world.

I am dying to see Disneyland

and statue of liberty.

Choose between Coca Cola and Pepsi.

I heard your speech at the seminar.

Do you actually think that

everyone in this world is equal?

I mean in a country like India

can you seriously overlook caste...

...culture, creed, community,

social and economic position...

...of every individual

and speak about equality.

But I seriously think you are

over-romanticizing a situation...

...which needs a much

more logical approach.

What is your name? - Zoya.

Zoya.

Even If I was a nobody,

you would still be wincing like this.

Every man in this country is different.

On caste, creed, class...blah...blah...

This is the fact.

And I don't fight for facts, madam.

I fight for what's right.

Sorry. - Go to hell.

'This was happening to me

for the first time, Kundan.'

'Right from Banaras to Aligarh to Delhi...'

'...this was the first man

who had treated me like that.'

'For him, I was like anyone else.'

'Actually he proved what he said.'

I get scared in the examination hall.

- What else can happen?

How were the exams?

Madam, I had apologized to you.

What will you get by failing me?

Equality. You had chits to cheat.

The rest didn't.

Either come prepared next time...

...or distribute the chits

in the entire examination hall.

This is a fact and also justified.

Now have I proved my point?

- No.

I haven't kissed anybody else

in this college.

This proves that you are privileged.

This proves that not everyone

in this world is equal.

It was like I had regained

my lost courage, Kundan.

This was college. A new world.

New people. New courage.

And, new love!

"I'm only for you, I'm your world."

"You're so sweet, while I'm bitter."

"I'm all yours, I'm your world."

"The color red's so pure."

"It's pure, it's filled with life.'"

"You dwell in my heart now."

"I've found my beloved."

"Let no one cast an evil eye on you."

"Curses to anyone who does."

"My heart now belongs to you."

"Let no one cast an evil eye on you."

"Let no one cast an evil eye on you."

"I'm only for you, I'm your world."

"You're so sweet, while I'm bitter."

"I'm all yours, I'm your world."

"I'm all yours."

Kundan!

What are you doing, Kundan?

Kundan. Kundan.

There will be no electricity

for three days.

Yeah, that's common with us too.

What happened? How did you get wet?

Did someone throw water on you?

There's a boy here to see you.

Go inside and change.

I'm serving food, get changed.

You just sat down.

Get married. That's all we want.

I don't want to.

- What do you mean you don't want to?

He was such a nice, well educated boy.

Well educated? They are

freaking half educated people.
