Raanjhanaa Page #5

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.

What did you say?

- What do you want, mother?

Either you shouldn't have

sent me out of town...

...or given me such good education.

And since you have done so much...

...the boy should be

of my choice, right?

Or should I marry an

uncouth boy like Kundan?

This boy...was like Kundan?

He has a big house. Big cars.

What else does one need?

I want a boy like me.

What do you mean by that?

I love someone else. - What?

You call this cleaning?

Sweep here. - Yes.

Murari, what's wrong with Kundan?

He is not talking to anyone.

Forget him.

Ask what is wrong the scooter.

He drove my brand new scooter

into the Ganges.

I just took it to the mechanic.

- Don't know what happened?

He says the entire engine

needs overhauling.

Kundan. What have you done!

Kundan. Get up. Get up.

Get up.

You think love is a joke?

You slit your wrist

as when you feel like.

This seems more like UPSC

examination and not love.

You just can't pass it.

Zoya loves someone else.

To hell with your love.

To hell with Zoya.

Don't you cry like a sissy who

has lost his love in front of me.

And don't go to sleep.

"Beloved. My beloved."

Tell me what the doctors said,

Aunt, what do I know? I was busy

settling things with Ramesh.

This is not the solution.

Listen, Mr. Psychiatrist,

are you done?

So leave. - Okay.

Don't use your brains too much.

Eat it. - He's calling it suicide.

As he said... He just... crazy.

He won't say that.

I had been to your house.

From there I came to know

that you are here.

Yes. You will find him here

if you don't find him at home.

He is in the hospital

if he is not at home.

Murari. - I want to talk to you.

In private.

Come, aunt.

Let's go meet the doctor.

Ask him what you were asking me.

Bindiya, come on. Come on.

Come with me.

Apples are 180 rupees a kilo.

You get vitamins from me.

But you love them.

What a stubborn boy!

What a loser!

Explain to your friend.

She is a curse to us.

Keep quiet.

Zoya tried your number many times.

She said that she wants to meet you.

Zoya.

I will give up my life

if these people force me, Kundan.

How did this happen? - Nothing.

You slit your wrist again?

How stupid can one be?

There is a limit to tolerance.

Is this all you know to do?

I made a mistake when I was small.

So are you going to

ruin my life for that?

Come on.

You want to marry, right?

This is all you want, right?

Let the world go to hell.

What happened? Come on.

Come on.

Don't you understand, Kundan?

You are a Hindu and I am Muslim.

We are poles apart.

You come to deliver

gas cylinder to our house.

Father likes you.

So he gives the car for servicing.

You carry mother's bag of grocery.

You get flour for us.

This doesn't mean they'll get

their daughter married to you.

I had imagined that you would

help me if not anyone else.

But you turned out

to be my biggest enemy.

I have shed blood. You shed tears.

This seems more like a

violent story than a love story.

Go. Go home. Have food.

Go to sleep.

I'll come up with something. Go.

What is your boyfriend's name?

Should I call him Amitabh Bachchan?

Akram. Akram Zaidi.

Kundan! At this hour?

Sir, the Hindu boy Zoya

fell in love with 8 years ago...

...was me.

Because of whom you distanced

Zoya from yourself.

It was me, sir.

I kept coming to your house

so that I get close to you.

I kept working for you

like a servant hoping you would...

...consider me family.

Only to elope with Zoya

when she returns one day.

What happened, Mr. Haider?

But your daughter

loves you a lot, sir.

She cares a great deal

about your honour.

She had forgotten me 8 years ago.

But the boy she loves so much.

She wants to marry him

with your consent only.

She could've eloped, sir.

And no one could've done a thing.

You wouldn't have found

anyone's collar to grab.

And what problem do you have?

He is a Muslim boy from a good family.

He is well educated.

Not an uncouth like me.

What happened, pal?

I am jacked up.

Now do you want to help me?

Get lost, moron.

One by one.

- Yes, I am giving. Hold on.

Now I won't give. Back up. Back up.

She is here. Go.

I think this has been

going for a bit too long.

I think you should end it.

Yes, I'm giving.

Don't get desperate.

No. I am not. I've run out of it.

If you couldn't find sweets

you could've ordered something else.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Otherwise papa

would've never understood.

You made a fool out of me, Zoya.

What do you think, Zoya?

You are some damsel.

Loving you was my talent, Zoya.

You don't deserve any credit for it.

Even if it had been

anyone else instead of you...

... I would've loved her just as much.

What do you think, Zoya?

You are the only one in

the whole of Banaras for Kundan?

I will marry the day you marry.

Be it with a witch.

I'll marry on that very day.

As far as your marriage goes...

...and I will do everything I can in it.

I would rather die.

But, I'll never utter your name again...

...or, I'm a deadman.

Look, forcing women is a crime.

Why don't you listen to me.

Her father's a police officer,

we'll be jailed.

Don't create a scene.

You'll have to get a nose ring.

This crazy girl's troubling me.

- Mummy.

Bindiya. - What is it?

You were really fond of

marrying me, right?

Tell your father to call

the confectioner and the priest.

You're getting married to me.

On the 21st.

"Tell me. Tell me.

What is this, my friend?"

"Tell me. Tell me.

What is this mystery?"

"Tell me. Tell me.

What is this, my friend?"

"Tell me. Tell me.

What is this mystery?"

"What is this mystery?

Am I the mystery?"

"What is this mystery?

Am I the mystery?"

"What is this mystery?

Am I the mystery?"

"Everything changes in a flash."

"I have life long bond with her."

"At times it seems populated.

And at times deserted."

"There can be no marriage without friends."

"There can be no marriage without friends."

"There can be no marriage without friends."

"He can plunge me into darkness."

"Or light up my life."

"He can plunge me into darkness."

"Or light up my life."

"I cherish weird dreams."

"There is no season without your beloved."

"There is no season without your beloved."

"He makes torments me when he is with me."

"He makes torments me when he is with me."

"He is nowhere to be seen

even though he is near me."

"When he is near me, he jinxes me."

"My desires always stay with him."

"My desires always stay with him."

"I do everything in my power for him."

"And there are no friends without mates."

"And there are no friends without mates."

What happened, pal?

A lover doesn't get petrified when

his love is about to get married.

He gets petrified when

he is about to get married.

Let him cry. It is his doing.

Enough. Stop. Stop.

Why is this happening with me, Murari?

One minute. One minute, Kundan.

What the...

Yes, I am fine. - Take a look.

Kundan. Kundan, you are mad.

Listen to me.

Kundan, where are you going?

Kundan, where are you going?
